I'm not at that point yet
I'm at Chapter 8 rn
Someone help this guy to get coins fast, I'm on a family trip
anyways what are the ships you're using, do you have a thread?
you farm d3
if you can't farm, then you do the 1200 oil commission twice a day
what ships r these? i can't tell
well its 2 dd.....
D3 of the normal event or hard mode?
d3 is event hard mode yes
D3 is D3, the easy version is called B3
there is only 1 d3 in event
Yh I need to get an average level of above 100 and I'm on 100 so i just gotta wait a bit
Is there perhaps a stage I can grind out whilst i level up some units
d1 ig
Is the plane on the event shop good?
no
its basicallly useless
But like Portland
is illustrious good
in end game yes, she has a niche use
poor for a new player
port is 50 levels under, there was little else to recommend
Why should I develop Portland. I don't understand it
u shouldnt
its too late now if your port isnt invested into
good ship for new players
the game has beginner mission that requires you to develop her anyways
this for enterprise, you had one on ryuuhou
takao is like the bottom 5 SR CAs in the game 
bottom one is Z24 I'm 90% sure
another has no idea
she's like the best IJN CA that's not Ibuki/Unzen/Mog Kai pretty sure
his other option was baltimore
Who should I level
which, is far from port tankiness
takao actually matches port, while having decent damage
all ur URs?
All the ones unleveled
still would prefer balti,useful for far longer
no point lvling ships u cannot mlb
I have 5 bulins right there
we need to see all your URs anyways
Well here’s the rest of em
It turns out that I invested in some ships for no reason
yes, because you were blinded by rarity
Maxing which UR is dependent on what works with them the best
It was on Implacable. ryuuhou can't equip helldiver
No, exactly something else. Tier list from another source
did u run out of pulls for implacable ?
although in this case musashi is gonna be first anyway, although where is your implacabke
agreed with musashi recommend
Implacable soon
wrong ping
new players shd look at a beginner guide before a tierlist
I’m waiting for the last day to use my pulls
Musashi > Implacable > Z52 > Yorktown/Fritz
would prefer yorky, fritz doesnt have much friends to run with
fritz is friends with every1
I ignored it, I thought it would be better this way. But apparently not
not when you want full fleet comps, who are you honestly gonna pair with fritz without breaking up sakura and bb comps
so yk2 who needs 2 other USS is easier to pair with?
that kearsage is already done, and eagle has 2 of the best tanks and the best damage amps in the game
in campaign with any1
in showdown it depends as always
and in opsi it doesnt rly matter when u have 3 rainbow fleets
Besides, I don't want to invest in Portland.
Are frostfall ships any decent? Kursk, Voroshilov? Even if they arent they are still russian ships which is a w for me
otherwise you miss out on a free SR ship
Voro can proc nahkimov stop
decent/niche
definitely at or above average of what the russians offer
kursk is ca fp, always nice for hinden and unzen
I see
yah i figured it out. it's z24 and suzutsuki
they aren't particularly good by any stretch of the word
proccing nahk slow is free t1 
then again, if you were runnin a full russian fleet for some reason
there arent many better options?
A bit random but what great replacements are there for Portland lol, I am close to finishing Ägir research and i can start maxing her but idk if thats even a great replacement
agir is one of them
anchorage which you should have gotten BEFORE agir is just as
how is one of the best tanks in the game not a great investment
its a great replacement
so is anchorage who can be gotten quite fast
I rephrased that wrong lmao, i meant right replacement not if ägir was great or not
dev25 agir is already top 5 tankiest ship ingame
I had 950 iron blood tech, 600 something for Eagle union 😅
And i did not want progress to go to waste so i started on Ägir
eagle union tech is everywhere
eagle event this week, good timing
and thats not even a exageration
Well im like 50-60 short at the moment, if i use all my SR bullins i could get enough
reason why we say ancho before agir
is bcos you'll likely still be coining fdg
you can coin fdg and ancho together
not fdg and agir (DR quota)
Yea that would be hella expensive
guild shop has 3 elite eagle BBs
Luckily my issue aint collection, just limit breaking with eagle union
guild coins are more then plentiful to buy extra copies for limitbreak
Man my vanguards suck
portland helena laffey
Dont suck but whats the right word for it
Im having dementia i swear
But yea my boss vanguards are portland helena laffey
mob vanguards are heinrich, suzutsuki and Fu shun
roughly,how many coins do i need to make agir level 30?(6 stars),and is it worth it?
surely i will use blueprints too but they are so hard to find
that my only option is coins
dont use bps imo
it can be done with 0 coins
aim for 6-10 coin strengthening daily
Whats the most efficient way to use the efficiency boosts? Been using them on event farming 
they are time savers, the most efficient way to use them is when u dont have time
yeah,thing is it will take a year and i cant wait that much
theyre also used to squeeze 900ish d3 runs in 5 days
real
ok mr hvar farmer
how many pr ships are useful late game? ancho and august?
we didnt have to do it for HVAR 
people who farmed it during rerun did lol
2 weeks with boosted rates 
damn is august usefull?
sometimes for challenge mode?
alright didnt know!
/tierlist 2nd link ranks ships for endgame content, theres quite a few of them usefull late

there are direct rainbow replacements for almost all the PRs, but just cause they arent best doesnt make then not useful
i forgot nimi reposts on edit 
alright ty, I'll take a closer look when i can get on my pc
was grey always a blue name
this channel must be renamed into azur lane customer support
most def wasnt red
as blue as yorktown goes
yeah fair enough. just considering what ships are worth dropping my or blueprints on
i say it because you all are very helpfull
pr*
I've got ancho fs5 and don't use any other pr ships atm
i haven't used my pr5 or pr6 catchups yet
if you are researching a season, they will be maxed eventually anyway
I've maxed my dr5s but not the prs
ok but you never said anything about time
how many coins do i need to make agir level 30
I'm researching 7 now
yes because it will take an internity to just farm blueprints
turning catchup on 5 to protocore is also an option depending on ur dock and ur protocore needs
no it won't
agir isn't life or death
if you set research focus approrpaitely and take good researches it should take no more than 5 months to complete an entire season from scratch
coining at 10 prints a day won't take you more than 2 months to get her to dev 30
How is Marco Polo? She good?
no
i see...its my problem that im not that consistent with the researches after all....skill issue
After nahimov, what’s next best pr7 ship?
she's got nice hair colour
napoli
uh,what research tasks shouls i take preferably?those with 3k coins?
/research
credit: Newbie#1553 and Lunar#7777 https://i.imgur.com/wGQkqJk.jpg
I wouldn't take any PR4 face researches
just coin her up
if you do do PR4 research focus prioritze gear researches, otherwise focus on PR7
is there much point focusing on pr4 gear research since it's in gear lab now?
thank you!!!!
not rly ig
earlier access to good gear and less protocore minmax required
basically for newbies only
when i was a silly little noob like a year ago (although I'm still a bit of a silly little noob) I only focused pr2, then pr5 until i finished brest and plymouth and now I'm just on pr7
I am a silly little noob

:3
I was also a silly little noob
you were all a silly little noob,today its only me in this chat
Now im just silly little
a silly little guy, just like smolmagi
i still remember in my first week returning to the game after quitting for about 15 months someone told me off for farming yuudachi when there was an event on 😭

🥹
@molten solstice how far through main story are you?
Just went to 11.2
im level 75
nice. tbh i don't think you really need to worry too much about rushing agir. I'm 14-3 and my agir is dev 21
Its better to move idle chatter to other channels so u dont get bonked
good luck in the stage after 11.2
thank youuuu
I'm trying to get back onto helping so this poor fella doesnt blow his budget on agir
okeeee,i just want a stringer vanguard fleet thats why i chose her
trust,i cant get stuck there
have you posted your fleet?
wait
people have been stuck there 
11-3?
i believe in my shipfus
with a 125 nj too 
nah you guys are just messing rn
that would have been me if i didn't come here
@zinc hornet
blindly follow an outdated tier list without even considering what content certain ships are good for

I don't follow tier lists
same
that's a lot of germany
u know what happens to uvh when ooa ?
I follow iron blood,@zinc hornet i am the iron blood man,only germany you will see from me
Ooa?
You mean when not flagship?
if u like them u should read their skills too 
out of ammo id assume?
She doesn't do shit
don't post memes
That's why i have a second fleet,only germany there too
💀
so what u posted is the mob fleet
?
now i see why agir
but regardless i see 125 ships and w11 is kinda 
w11?
Sadly i missed fritz,i joined back in the game like two weeks ago after two year break
I missed bismarck zwei too
125 and still in w11 is really ringing some bells here 
Oh because i didn't do them earlier
What i lack is good gear
u don't need fancy gear to do w11
and u are using 2 BBs who just need mk6 
ur issue is without healer u want proper building
what are all the skins that you can't buy anymore (either collab or removed)
Mk6?which weapon is that? And also i swear and if you want you can believe me,i can go to 12.1 easily with them
406mm mk6 the eagle union bb gun
purple
pretty much all collabs are a case of "expect they never come back" (there is too many to list; but https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Skins/Collab has them all)
and then 5 skins are currently "banned" in EN (one from atago, shinano, chitose, hindenburg and napoli respectively; check their wiki pages)
other than that there is a bunch of limited skins that are currently unavailable but will come back eventually
those skin bans were so randomly applied
why is yuudachi not worth retrofitting?
according to whom
is hero good for anything?
Powercreep. There's lots of vanguard ships that do more damage than her/have other utility. It's also relatively expensive to retrofit her.
She's not bad but by the time you would get around to actually building her up you'll have better ships.
powercrept ships can be hard to acquire tho. yuudachi is very accessible
i still use her in W14
damn, for campaign i need to fill 2 slots in my vanguard with san diego as my tank and yuudachi is my only dd option, but i was also told a dd isn't necessary
not much tbh, at 9-3
almost done newcomer missions so i can get san diego
but idk what to put in other 2 for boss fleet
Perseus :0
like i'll have howe enty and implac backline
wheres sandy hiding?
here 😭
ahhh
Is it normal that i still haven't done this in level 75?
depends how you want to play the game, Mister IB Only
I love that nickname
well not really needed to do it if you have those ships at the rewards
any 2 in that roster i can use temporarily till i get better ships?
as far as i can tell, yuudachi retro would be your best vanguard ship (until sandy retro)
i believe talinn is good
Y’all tf am i supposed to do
mlb her and retire rest
MLB her once she hits 70 and retire the useless dupe
but with sandy frontlining isn't she irrelevant
Then you can keep them
You can have many clones
One of the curses of the game
For me at least
Fr
in addition to being powercrept, she also costs a lot of retrofit blueprints and 2000 spec core which is like half a UR bulin
i've only got like 500 of those cores too thats gonna take so long
@sweet delta who would you recommend i use then temporarily? just for pushing campaign
i just want to get to 12-4 so i can chill and farm
by push campaign, do you mean farm event D?
oh i've been farming d2 non stop, but when event is gone i will do campaign
but when event is gone, the next event starts
oh
Is harbin still relevant or just niche these days?
There are times when there is not an event on
and this is not one of those times
so i should just chill and farm event with 1 fleet till i get more ships huh
Eagle union event soon ;-;
you might try to get anchorage, aegir, roon, or saint to be the 11th and/or 12th. If missing some, then maybe Tallinn or idk
the guy needs to know what ships to level up so that when there is no event, they can do main campaign
you're also close to san diego
with the ships from shipyard being expensive too, are they more worth than yuudachi?
you just can't afford yuudachi because you should start farming cruiser bps for sandiego
put research focus on anchorage,.pr4
shipyard costs cruiser bps too but they're worth
one of the better choices for various content like opsi mob farming and general purpose damage. Probably not best at anything though
so i can do roon san diego and saint louis for boss
Um,i myself use roon and she is perfectly fine
Yaaaaas why not
what? You don't have Roon and you can't get Roon easily
They can develop it
i am almsot done saint louis
They can't develop it easily
switching in 3 level 1 ironblood ships just for this exp is a huge setback in progression
Gun-based on damage or torp?
is it worth investing in laffey (im newb)
saint takes about a month to coin up to dev 30 at 3000 coins per day. Unless you burn your 300 PR1 catchup on her instead of converting it to 1500 protocore
it's worth investing in one and only one starter DD between laffey, z23, and javelin
Oki
so these are more late game ships damn
i don't mean to be rude but nothing you've said actually solves @torn sentinel's question. there's no point trying to farm xp for shipyard if you don't even have a functioning fleet
Is z1 worth retrofitting?
only if you use only ironblood and have z52
I use only ironblood,i dont have z52 sadly,so it doesn't meet the criteria?
i don't mean to be rude but if you would just scroll up a few messages, he's almost done farming saint louis because he's been using the starter fleet which happens to be eagle union. And he clearly already has one and even almost two functioning fleets and is farming saint xp quite successfully
i think what i should do is to just farm highest stage event with the fleet i have until i have more options to choose from for a second fleet...
yeah Z1 isn't replacing anyone just for buffing Z23
Okkkk,good to know,i might use them when agir is ready for the first fleet in a third fleet of ib ships
Do you have Bolzano META's last 2 crystals?
question is if i should save the cruiser retrofits for sandy or continue researching saint louis
yes i think so
but i heard she was bad
if portland is bad then sure
as a purple meta, she's really cheap to skill up
and has comparable tankiness and damage to portland
ooo okay i can work on her too then
so that's the first 10 ships in this picture, plus Bolzano meta and San Diego
sounds like a plan!!
San Diego needs at least her unique augment, and would become extremely good if you have 12 gold cruiser bps (skip the bottom row of the retrofit screen)
it will take some time before you have a fleet that can properly push to 12-4. take your time and farm xp in events and war archives in the meantime
war archive xp>9-1?
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Precious_Handkerchief only mephis or also her meta version?
i don't know the answer to that but war archives can also help you get fleet tech to unlock more shipyard ships
oh i didnt know this, ok
i think you should push to w12
Is w12 the end of the main campaign?
only normal memphis
thanks
no, chapter 15 is rn
Unique augs always only apply to base
And I doubt that will change cuz it would need quite the rework
I see
thats an equipment tho
great information to know, but that's not a unique aug
Thanks for the information but I totally knew that and just wanted to add a random fact
more ships = more fleet tech, especially after mlb. war archives give a free gold ship after 60 clears of D3
guys why are u discussing campaign pushing and ww during an ongoing event 
also in hard mode stages why does it only show 50% completion even with 3 stars? do i really have to use another attempt to get 100%?
yes
stars and % are separate
the future exists. use current event to farm levels for ships that can be used in campaign
should i upgrade lecture hall early on ? just started 3 days ago and bought the 4.99 lvl 70 commander pack thing or should i save to get merchant and canteen to 10 first when i hit 80? only have 1 over 100 ship doe
lecture hall only useful when you have Level 100+ ships
events are more like hard stages though
most new players will have struggles filling some stats which is one of the main focus imo
Canteen > Merchant >> Lecture Hall
Upgrade them all though
should i hold off until i get like a full fleet of 100 before i upgrade it more im on stage 8 atm so not at oilcap map yet
I'm not sure what you trying to argue with
People need help knowing on what generally speaking they need to focus
Just because there's an event at this moment doesn't change that
you need to level ships to fill stats anyway. might as well level good ships
I mean sure ig? No need to put gold into it if you don't have any lvl 100 ships yet
it just should be your lowest priority as thorin said
also what ww? wishing well?
war warchive
warspite welfarecheck
waluigi wow
anyway yeah, levelling decent ships is more useful than levelling crappy ships just to fill arbitrary stat requirements that change from stage to stage anyway
also is there a way to put the bulion ships somewhere towards bottom of list / hide them or they just exist on ur list forever
they should already be near the bottom due to being level 1
other than that - no, they just chilling around
you'll learn to ignore them eventually
i just started couple days ago so they sit in like the middle sometimes cause of rarity
is it okay to spend upgrade materials as well on her? or would you save them for a better meta ship in the future?
spend now because you're using her. You get more later
I think people have the most problem with AVI fortification, which is irrelevant to Bolzano
Private Quarters still broken? (Like, it's never nighttime, etc)
also does a unit still get exp after sortie if they die?
what skins are not purchaseable (either removed or collab or etc)
Im guessing a lot
you can check the ingame shop for yourself
that's too extensive of a list to type out.....
no like which are limiteds (can return)
technically all of them can
almost all of the skins are only available for a limited time before they become permament like few years after
barring collabs, all of them should rerun at the latest this year's Black Friday sale in November
how much to get them all?
more than you have
(the ones with interaction)
just curious cuz idk why ppl get the non movement if they can't do anything (besides collection)
why get movement either by that logic
lol
just check list of all the skins on wiki
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Skins
Skins are in-game cosmetics for ships that can be purchased through Akashi's Shop using Gems or unlocked through in-game events. When equipped, skins alter a ship's CG (painting) and chibi. Sometimes, a skin can alter a ship's voice lines as well and come with new facial expressions. These differences overall are purely cosmetic and do not affe...
they like the skin, the character, etc
dynamic vs live 2d? help
just because a skin doesn't have movement doesn't mean I won't buy it
dyanimic means the animation is just a loop, L2Ds actually have animated reactions and often special poses and stuff
ok
anyone help with fleet building i made an oopsie with how limit break vs retro works but im currently workin on (unicorn retro) is there any ships i should prio ahead of others 
just focus your efforts on one fleet for now and continue pushing
im runnin into damage issue so im tryin to farm for some better weapons but theres just so many different weapons lol
what stage?
i was on event c3
also thx for answering my questions 
is there a strat for tactical missions cause i think im just getting weapon diffed cause i boosted to 70 commander so im not actually ready for it
pretty normal at this stage of the game tbh, good gear is in short supply and so are plates and coins to enhance them
make the best of what you have and keep leveling skills, don't be afraid to lean on level advantage
Hello, quick question: so it takes around one year til rerun UR to be added in the permanent pool, right?
After the rerun yeah kinda
that's roughly the turn around rate for reruns yes
~~ when they feel like it ~~
what emulators do you guys use to play on pc?
Mumu is the smoothest by far for my computer
tyty
same
Can i disassemble all blue gear or is there some that are worth keeping?
probably depends on how along the game you are
UPDATED 2024-10-22
This is a a list of safe to scrap equipment and niche equipment, for the EN region of Azur Lane. It's targeted toward midgame+ players. If you're new, this page is not for you! Based on The original Safe to Scrap by Itsfyh.
Find a problem? Bother me on discord: Traneptora
76 main gun and mikasa gun is cool
Ah shit, another long read 
Better to read than taking longer to get the useful gear you got rid of
Being part of the EN community requires the inability to read
Also, i'm still running the beginner fleet (added Enterprise and Hood), should i ditch enty for Implacable or nah?
Is implacable max limit break?
I would replace Enty with Implacable
Ok 
is mumu buggy or something? been stuck on "pending" for 5 minutes trying to download azur on mumu
no?
no idea
I'm not their tech support
all I can tell you is that I'm playing AL right now
How much better is mumu compared to bluestacks?
i go from dying in ex to not dying in ex
emu performance usually depends on your pc compatibility with it, personally i find mumu easier to use due to easier interface to interact with and setting emu performance
i use Mumu Player 12
isn't it better to replace when u want to do a second fleet 
bluestacks: 60s to boot up, 15s to open azulene, every in-game screen is slower than mumu's. The only good part is that battles have almost the same FPS as mumu
mumu: 5s to boot, 10s to open azulene, in-game screens are very smooth
Just put Enty in the 2nd fleet
How good is implacable really? What’s her use?
Besides being UR with good stats, she has a time stop/slow ability that is nice for coordinated strikes with BB's or converging torpedo bombers.
Are there any threats to be taken note of in w12?
suicide boats and some planes
me
W12 is mostly planes as your main threat
it's not that severe yet, but you need to keep that in mind
W12 is planes but it’s not too bad
2 good lvl100 fleets with atleast poverty gear can clear them
if you have level 120 ships and decent aa you will breeze thru on auto
is sandy retro with sextuple bofors overkill for it?
better to go overkill to make sure
Does anyone know if Hornet Meta triggers Yorktown II sister ship special airstrike skill? Or is it a nogo because she's a different hull because Meta whatever?
Ah alright, But I would assume w13 and 14 would be full of planes?
w13 is just more planes, in w14 there is something else that i am forgetting
14 is everything else but planes 
but tbh i would recommend stopping at w12, level up more ships there, start opsi
I uh, finished opsi alongside having like 17 level 120+ ships with decent gear. 
oohhh then w12 and w13 will be a breeze for sure
so just clear w13 too
Campaign ends on w14? Or theres more?
w15
Oh yeah would separating mob and boss fleet better or using 1 fleet but with cross barrages better for w12 and 13 respectively?
Hornet META is neither Yorktown-Class nor Eagle Union.
well if you want to make sure just use 2 fleets
Can anyone help with Hornet META? She is destroying my fleet 😩
In the Taihou META my fleet was doing around 750k damage per attempt, now in Hornet I am lucky to get 300k.
I switched my guns to AP from HE which helped a lot, but she is just tearing through my vanguard before my main fleet can work through her health.
Here is my fleet code:
https://mrlar.dev/s/ebfa310ecd74f8b2b0c214dcb1d4f4141f379092
So meta Whatever killing sister ship combos. Got it. Thanks Sushi
first of all, AP is better than HE for BBs against both Hornet META and Taihou META
second, do you have anyone tankier than Carl? Also, Carl should be the main tank, swapped with Roon muse (number 1 at the bottom is the main tank)
actually i don't think your vanguard should be getting torn apart
other than the double toolkit being suboptimal on carl
Carl is about as tanky as Z52, and a level 125 Z52 can tank the whole battle against Hormet with only one survivability aux
Is it l120 or l125
I'll swap those two thank you, yeah it is ridiculous she has destroyed my vanguard by the time she uses her blackout ability every time. Auto battle or manual
The vanguard is 120
i just downloaded today and have 5 shipbuilding support tickets. do i use them on the event? it says they go away after event ends?
i can't say much without knowing what ships you have, but take roon mu's washing machine to give to Carl, and drop Roon mu for someone else
Do Meta ships in your fleet still do aggravated damage in Meta fights? (Suggesting they use meta ships if they have any.)
they go away in 3 days and 5 hours
Can't say I reccomend bringing up Carl or Roon \mu to 125 but it is -12% stats against a l126 ship essentially
gotcha thanks
I guess it would be ~10.2% stats because you'd compare against a l125 ship with 1 level of disadvantage
That is wild Z52 is about as tanky as Carl! I have her level 90, I'll work on raising her up. I have been raising off meta ships for fleet tech but this has been a rude awakening 
These are the relevant leveled vanguards I have
Use Kron, Helena, Ply
and change fdg's gun from 460 to a ~20s reload gun like the other two BBs'
do this until Z52 is leveled. But can you spare bulins for Z52?
Thank you! Just gave this a try and damage was much better - she still destroyed my fleet by the first blackout but we got 410k damage out this time
Rip Roon U, shes now the worst then og roon
Yee I can get Z52 to MLB no issue, once I have her good to go who should she replace?
oh right you're havingf vanguard survivability issues. That means you need to take good AA guns to shoot down hormet's planes before they launch rockets, try something like this
Shoudl I be saving my Core "Floppies" (forget what they're called) for the speical shells or something?
Thanks so much for the help
I have enough blueprints to make three of those twin 40mm bofors staags and one of the prototype twin 90mm model 1939s. I'll bang those out to +10 and get Plymouth and Z52 up to 125
How many days until event finish?
start with at least 3 white shells and 2 black shells. Buy as soon as possible, because you can only buy 1 of each per month

I really only have one BB/BC right now. Does it matter if I get White or Black?
White > Black
Are there certain ships that beneifit from black shells? or can I equip both?
white is better than black almost all the time, but as a new player, you might have a purple rarity white shell whose skill doesn't stack with gold rarity white shell's. So you can buy black or white first, but really just buy white first so that you ensure you get to 3 within 3 months.
Cool cool
BB aux is like one of these 3, or mix in some autoloader if the homework you're copying says autoloader is required
Cool cool. Thanks!
Hi, can anybody help me building a good mob and boss fleet? I'm getting to tage 10 but don't know how to build a good fleet
can you give us your current fleets?
yes in a thread
is this gear good enough for Raff?
i dont really have much else that is available.
Anti-medium? Yeah
Anti-light? Maybe
Anti-heavy? Not really
seems that z52-hindy-ply is claimed as the best choice for hormet followed by mog-ply-z52 huh

but needs 4 la9s
hinden sucks, unzen straight up does more damage
and doesnt require two +13 hinden guns
My hinden was damaging below ply 
Guys do I pull the new ur? I felt like the last ur wasn't too long ago
tested my first fleet and 96 out of 100 runs would have won
Implacable is not new , but she is still very very strong
Oh rerun? Damm I'll pull then
is this wrong? @sweet delta
the dyna cannon is wrong
Lance would be better, and watatsumi or work-play robot would be better
how much damage does she do with that loadout in 70s anyways
z52 has it, cant find watatsumi
look harder then 
picture?
hindy claimed as 98/100
hinden 🚮
Mog is 96, doubt tho
i tested hinden, she does 130k damage at best, while Unzen averages 172k with AA (subtract like 6k to 10k AA)
Why this ur so hard to get? I'm alr 106 pity in
rng hates you
no you just give up on hinden
its as hard as every other one
Finally got 1 ur, 116pity, that's like 232 cubes?!
thats what cubes are for
the whole point of saving cubes is to ensure you have enough to pity a UR
yeahh what a pos
I'll just save up on ur bulin and max dupe her, ain't no way I'm gambling again lol, I barely got 200 cubes left
your mistake is using cubes before wednesday
yes rolling for dupes is a bad idea unless youre already really close to the pity
god rewards the strongest of gamblers
What's after Wednesday?
theres more free build tickets until wed
end of free ticket
So I didn't made mistakes then
if that's what you think
Does anyone know how to get washing machine fast besides war archive
bruh
keeping your research 100% uptime is the best way
Washing machine Rng hates me
136k was the lowest from unzen i ever saw. Her AA is like 8k? idk
unzen should be offtank
doesnt a certain individual here have 2k washer bps
i think a certain individual here has 69 or more +13 washing machines
thats non oath +0 rld?
oath + 0
so non oath+7 then
better to be even slower, non oath + 0
why are these takes so fucking terrible
haaaiii, fix my unzen ;-;
i think icehood probably tested a lot of different fleets to 100 runs using methods we don't speak of. That leads to multiple comparisons bias where some fleets appear to perform very well (96, 98) but is actually a result of pure chance. If you test 10 different fleets with 95% win rate, then you are very likely to see some 98/100 and some 92/100
start by dropping unzen
who do you run for your 3rd, helena?
hindy
is this too much
thats normal
she should be doing what? 130-150k?
that's not research academy...
Oh right
mines doing 120-140k, my ply hasnt lost to her yet
at this point they do so little damage helena comp is more consistent
is anything worth buying here
mine peaked at 170k when hinden fucked up and did 115k
They're all tech for 120 so you can buy them later or buy them now, doesn't matter
like 70k of thats prob AA
i can prob check with the dido gun in 2 hours
with a full stacked ply shes doing like 110k-140k surface dmg
less than that actually, 90k-130k due to variance
Isn't there overflowing dmg comes from planes which kind of meaningless dmg
and running a proper soy gets like +40k value
while a stacked hindy sits around 150-180k
theorertically using a dido gun means she should do less endscreen dmg then hinden
cause hinden has always been shit for me no matter the meta boss
Cringe damagemaxxers
shes only good in this one cuz you want low speed
i dropped kaza too for that reason
keep stealth and win is pretty much the fight
something like this should be bis comp
why 460 and not the new gun
hornet is medium armor no?
you can just look at the dmg and see
if youre 3 striking with sap somethings wrong with you
anything with la9 is a 3 strike comp
i guess ill try see the 460, thats with now much bb rld?
shes fine
her damage was around my NJ, for mobbing i dont need oath
alternatively some variance of 2 460 bbs work, i dont recc tho
ill just try this tommorow
if hinden is still hitting 120k im just gona ditch her for unzen
needs lance
oh right, swapped that out
she lowest she has been for me was still 140k
i havent lost with unzen though
is the fighter from event worth getting ? cant find it on wiki
It's a dive Bomber
its a pita that aa damage is incorparated in endscreen, makes everyone's life harder
winning or losing is just dependent on whether you keep stealth
and its shit
And yes, even though it's not particularly good
i actually swapped to a sextuple on z52 for the heavier initial, sometimes those planes only stay in the circle once
im like 8/10 so far and i still dont have my 4th la9
i lost 1 time when i ran enterprise, and another when i ran hinden
2 proc enty and 1 scan helena works 
imagine using helena
she is cuter then hinden and more rliable
never seen helena and reliable in the same sentence
, its therorecitcally really rare for her to fail all 3 radar scans.
isnt that like 1/8?
good enough
1/16? some shit liek that
its a 6% chance
im pretty sure all it really takes is lose stealth on 1st and fail helena on 1st
it still kill for me with helena 1st/2nd fail
3rd proc radar somehow still worked which is hilarious as fuck
ill take the 95% helena over shitty hindenburg, mebot also ran it on his thing
gonna drop with more runs
, thats what happens when you betray your wife
i havent ran helena for like 2 years
if anything im more curious about optimal AA setups for the fight rather than the damage
damage is just overkill with anything half decent
sextuple on z52 worked best for me, if i ran the eagle aa, they have a habit of slipping by with low hp
could be wrong though, need more runs to be sure
plane damage is just rng
if it gets shot and doesnt die its either not enoguh damage to fight the rng or just a really bad roll
that was my problem with the eagle aa, havent seen a sextuple not oneshot
i wanna say theyre both about the same, but i dont wanna run numbers
numbers less reliable then helena
theres actually no good data here looking back for comps
you want my failed enty run? 
ill just run ranger
How fast does z52 gain her ghost AA if she never fails to fire main gun everytime?
Chat why does my taskent doesn't have her summon in battles (the blue cruiser skill thing)
shes probaly spawning them and you dont see it
Do these have any importance? I wanna retire them
unicorn is the best healer in the game by far, others are good tech
Current fleets
yeaaaaah thats everything being replaced
I have hipper and eugen for roon xp
is the ex more bulky than other ex?
dont grind exp so early, dont do anything till w8
Alr
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
read it FULL
Richilieu over Pennsylvania
z23 instead of javalin
everything else dont replace
my Akagi killed it in less than 2 minutes
10k dps ong
i see, just feels like it when takes more than 4 rounds from backrow
it should only take 2
am i using wrong backrow?
follow the instructions on the screen to do more than triple damage
oh
is there any way to obtain past cruise mission meta ships?
looks like i gotta wait a big while until meta sheffield gets added
What is the cooldown on Kawakaze's Lunga Point's Strike+ skill? Is it the internal CD of 5 seconds?
I don't remember there being one
rogeroger
implacable still good to build? i also have rumey but never use her. only z52 to subtitute laff2 
idk if her performance is similar to kron
@ocean pilot
ah sorry, thanks gummy 
How to know what’s good to take
Usually take whatever but I am running low on coins cause of fdg
Q is the best anyways
the only reason you might want to focus IV is for gear, and Q is the best for gear
do not pick haku or aegir or anchorage, because they're coinable. If you don't need PR4 gear, then don't focus PR4
for w14 and w15, can i replace enterprice for implace?
depends but technically yes
What's that supposed to mean?
Besides, thanks to your advice I almost defeated the boss in C2 hard
Is there a place to know if a banner is worth rolling for now or for hoarding resources? I've seen the tier list but there's sooooo many ships for a new player.
Any prototype weapon plane recommendation for Shinano? I can only afford one plane rn from Prot. Shop
for what for?
the exclamation point is just there to remind you that those tickets will disappear after this MT
just ask here, but the most you will get is that they are being tested and not sure yet, if its a new banner
if its an old banner people here will answer
Thanks, Well, I use everything
keep pulling until you get implac if you dont have her
I have 3 of them, currently 2 because I used one for a limit break
use all your dupes for limit breaking, also just use up all your tickets
not really worth it to spend your cubes if you have her already
if you want Mob Shinano, purple Helldiver. If Boss go for Ryusei or Junkers (Assuming that you're not starting PR 7). Jadeite can Add or correct this Thank you.
So on that topic, is the current banner worth it? Or is it a pick up of you have everything else kind of thing? Very new so, wanna make sure I hold out for a good banner, but not so long I get the itch to pull lol
you want to get implacable, others are mostly for collection
Is it worth buying royal from the store?
if you have enough points and you dont have her yet sure
I don't have it and I have about 9k points
She has good tech , wait till the last day to get her . You want to farm for the rainbow bulin and more in milestone in the meantime
Scylla is still worth doing the daily 3 pulls a day too if your cube count isn't really low
14 cubes, I understand, but anyway, I think my chances are slim
but never zero
Just pull
yoh mori, long time no see (for me). Anyway still no Superimposition event permanent added?
wont be anytime soon
hi guys can i ask why do u have to complete all the ships in a pr season? is there any reason to that
also who are the best pr ships/best pr season ? to ever start with
How do i get enough tech points to start unlocking FtG?
you get tech points by obtaining, max limit break and lvl120 a ship
fdg wants ironblood tech points
/fleettech
Q: How do I get more fleet technology points?
You get fleet tech points by:
- Collecting the ship (~20%)
- Max Limit Breaking it (~45%)
- Achieving level 120 (~35%)
-Higher rarity ships gives more fleet tech pts .
-Heavier ship hulls also gives more fleet tech pts: CV=BB>CA>CL>DD
Side notes:
-PR ships give more fleet tech pts than normal but follow the above formula with development 30 replacing MLB.
-META ships are considered a separate META faction. They give same bonuses as their non-META versions.
-Collab ships, Muse and little versions of ships e.g. Li'l Sandy, Clevelad and Lena etc do not give any fleet tech pts.
-Iron Blood faction ships receive double the normal tech points compared to other nations.
For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki
War archive for some iron blood ships
aight cool thanks
whats the effective or strategic way to get lots of fleet tech tho, that u guys might suggest
Obtain and limitbreak backline ironblood ships
how to know which stage have clearing rewards?
Technically, all of them do
Is there a requirement to be met? I got clearing rewards from D stages, but not from C
For events, the rewards are shared between normal and hard
A1 and C1 share the same clear mission
As do B1 and D1
So if you cleared all the A maps already, you won't receive any from C
But if you didn't clear B, you'd receive them on D
i think he actually means the little section at the bottom of the popup that opens when you're done with a stage with autosearch/oilcap
oilcap stages
What
event will be D maps, campaign w9+
yes the one that gives 1000+ coins
He's not talking about oil cap...
read my message again
oilcap stages have clearing rewards ender
i know he's not talking about oil cap, he's talking specifically about the clearing rewards that pop up below the node rewards
we have 3 more days to summon from event right? today (24), tmr (25), and last day (26)?
You are right
all stages with a cost limit (oil cap) have clearing rewards also
well, it says "clearing rewards" in that bar lol
the game literally calls that section "clearing rewards"
you don't need to 100% the stage to get the rewards, you also get them on the clears towards 100% too
as long as boss dead you get the rewards
the rewards are also lower if you don't meet or exceed the oil cap for the stage 
Is Scylla any relevant in the meta
i think ender's thinking about the battle rewards where you get like 20 coins per node fight
yes and we told him he is wrong
i think ender's thinking about the 3* rewards too
yes and we told him he is wrong
shes pretty good
so good but useless 😔😨
It's a weird place to be in yeah
she's comfortably in "better options exist"-tier
She's a bit like how Harbin is currently
At least with Harbin, she can be used to proc Yat Kai
And unlike the DDGs she can actually deal good damage to heavy armour
Well she has good AA and a fleet wide AA buff outside her AoA?
Actually, how does Z52 and Scylla compare DPS wise
im going to take a guess that its not even close but ill wait for a real answer 
Well z52 is supposed to match ply, so that would be my guess too
But I think z52 is the closest ship kitwise to Scylla
Hey do I have enough units to make a second team? My current fleet 2 is just a mess
No (lack of good options for frontline)
Some key parts are there, but you have to also consider you won't have the gear and bulins for them too
The earliest you can look to building a second fleet is when you reach w9
And the first fleet definitely doesn't have the levels to reach w9 yet
Well yeah I'm only at ch6 still grinding for commander levels
For most people that follow the beginner guide, the second fleet only comes around when the first fleet is in the 95+ or 100+ range
what to go for on event shop after tickets and single copy of royal ark? lvl 44 grinding to unlock world 7 rn
There's a shop priority guide in the pinned messages
For new player, tech boxes are pretty high on the priority
is this obtainable still?
no
would there be ever hope to obtain it in the future 
100% chance
Yeah, but not sure if it's this year
only collab content is questionable if it will return
probably will get added to protocore shop at some point right?
yep
should I just yolo for fdg? my iron blood main are just these
tbh i wouldnt
I wouldn't either
mlb scharn and elbe and grind with uvh
sup mogs
should i buy blackburn firebrand from core shop to save electronics? i already buy everything i needed from shop
if you have excess coredata, sure
if you have excess cores definitely better to save electronics
how about that ur ss aux? is it priority or not
ch 14 fleet build advise
its not just for ss but it's also not priority
How long does it take stronghold and abyssal regenerate?
What's the typical OpSi anti-light CV fleet with Yk2?
regenerate?
new strongholds pop up every Monday +3 new strongholds for monthly reset
abyssals are from shop(s) and some from map drop

man how do I grind commander levels, I'm only at chapter 6 and doing hard mode maps is too slow, I also did the event as far as I could
Keep doing event stages since theyre oil capped starting from C
its the best place you can farm atm since ch6 has no oil cap
yk2 kear + implac - sirius aurora helena for 1-2 strikes
add a tank like instead of helena if u need to fight longer
enty can replace implac and just run eldr then
I can't get past the last stage on B :/
I run out of ammo for the boss fight always cuz I only have 1 team
who should i focus now? 
save them for when the ships are d30 so u can protocore the catchu p
From what I've heard in here, Rafaello helps the fleet survive?
if you dont deal enough damage maybe take a look at your gear or level a bit on the highest stage you can
Most of my gear is epic +6 and my ships are around lvl70
Azuma from these
sorry i should have said it clearer
among all PR
FDG, kearsage and hidenburg finished research
Were right that Takao is weak. But the question is whether such equipment is enough?
Pick any DR not drained
Retro her
Whats napoli's main niche compared to other large cruisers and tankers?
shes extremely tanky
with good dmg
I need to reach level 50
Is she a bis in like any cv/bb comp or nah
Just pure bulk with good damage?
no content rn requires her bulk
Agir but better, essentially
so u take stuff with more support/dmg
I can give her anti-torpedo armor
Not talking to you
What support can she provide compared to agirs slow?
Agir slow isn't a support to begin with
Sorry
It's always been cope af
napoli doesnt provide support
just a very very minor vang surv support
And not an integral part of her kit
Napoli has her smokes for vanguard survival
Also not a key part of her kit
The queen of tank that also supports, is Eldridge retrofit
wouldve been good if the continous smoke applied to the whole vanguard but its only the initial one and thats like 1% smth ehp or what was it
If anything, she wants blue evasion gear
Oh okay then, Thanks for answering.
anyone has information on Voroshilovs ghost gun? how fast/mod/how many bullets?
u can check them here https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/ships/id/588?equipMode=ghost
why are u starting portland
and why are u lvling her skills ?
sounds like even more griefing
just follow the advice and fleet u were given by Kasic/ender yesterday
if I only have 1 vanguard ship in a mission she would get more xp than if I deployed a whole team?
First time
No
exp is not split
then why does the guide say to go 1:1 on some maps?
what guide
less oil cost
youtuber guide
I modernize everything myself
smh
wasn't it 2 strongholds on reset

u can 1:1 when u can afford to save oil on initial clears
when ure new and u need the ship xp and commander xp and you dont have access to oilcap then use full fleets
if ure new and can't farm oilcapped event stages then maybe using less ships is also debateable but depends on ur situation
Is it ok or should I improve it? I can show what I have
I have a bunch of gold blueprints for gears but no materials for them
thats blue anti torp gear, not blue evasion gear
what gold blueprints
you know like guns and stuff
like these ?
no like the stuff at the depot
that is stuff at the depot
Well, they were talking about Portland, so I'm doing it.
can you show a screenshot
ah but those dont use mats they only need prints and coins
Who was it addressed to?
check sams guide for good gear
dont craft random stuff, coins are valuable
Artemis
Okay
I have nothing else but anti-torpedo unless we're talking about the rudder
thats the one
Is this it? Okay, that's a little bit better
doesn't really say how to get them though, only gear lab but that's only lvl60
well prints drop either from research which has its separate guide or randomly from campaign
but campaign is not worth farming for gear so they arent listed
when asking, if u get conflicting advices i recommend giving more context
or creating a thread so people have more context regarding ur situation
early game its ill advised to spread thin ( well late game aswell )
ark jiro takemaru and potato
Is this gun good?
nop
do muse ships not contribute to fleet tech?
Mk6 is your friend
Best HE gun, with very few exceptions
they dont
Huh thats strange the summon suppose to be big and in the middle right
Nope, hers is a tiny crystal floating next to her.
If you see her firing ice shards at enemies, it’s there doing its thing.
oh yeah right..
Then which girl has the skill that summons the big mecha thingy tho
That’s probably Bis Zwei.
nah it looks northen parliament for me
the bear one?
Morning, is this worth spending the event currency on?
solely for collection purposes, not for use
if you are a new player struggling to get event currency, it's quite low priority
Thanks!
Maybe? I recall it bigger than Zwei's summon
maybe its soyuz? because for tashkent her thingy is a glowing orb
how good is the implac plane
worse than helldiver
hi guys what is the 1 shot team for hornet!
it's not in pins tho lol
soyuz nakhimov rumey backline
Yea someone uploaded a spreadhseet before and I misread the title
if it helps i have 3 la9
the ships matter more in this case
o if its rumey team then u only need 2 or 4 iirc
how good is the rafa gun bismarggio zwei gun
frontline is whatever?
ply z52
ahh ok thank you
best gun against medium armour only
is it bad i've been using it for general AP use
it's the only UR gun I have
it has extremely poor heavy armor dmg so yes thats not good
well, heavy armour is rare, but it's pretty bad for heavy compared to the champagne gun
also, rarity is not always quality
the musashi gun is rainbow but it's almost never used, as an example
rainbow beehive gun when
I just obtained impla, who should I replace?
no one

if you can max limit break impla, hornet
otherwise no one
Wow this team that solid
?
pretty solid yes
Gotcha, I can mlb her🫡 ty
it can be improved, ofc, but it takes time (research ships really)
I have it to my SR Bismarck. Should i just give her the Purple Mk6 gun instead?
Do u have a recommendation for my next research?
friederich de grosse?
Fdg I gotcha
that is an HE gun so it would be better against light armor bosses
When I obtain her I’ll come back and ask again for further instructions lol
it is for light armour yes, but it is also the best gun for "general use"
Do I just have no good guns at all
since it performs well against all armour types
the thing is, AL has no real "general use"
it's not a major event, so yeah
how about this? is this better for AP? or Heavy bosses in general?
if you ask me, the mk6 is more of
"if you dont know what you're doing, it's the safest option"
2nd best for med and heavy if you're musashi
I've been giving it to Bismarck before the Raffaello gun actually
do you not have the champy gun https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_406mm_(Mle_1938_Prototype)#Type_0-0
