[sweet delta]

i moreso meant that musashi sinks early and ends the battle early

[atomic abyss]

Still play the event tho

[stark quiver]

just do 3 pulls/day

[slow fox]

Belfast dude I'm using Nachi for Tank/Mid/Off testing

[zenith pebble]

beslfast dude youre the best

[stark quiver]

belfast dude

[wind hazel]

backbone of gph belfast dude

[zenith pebble]

we love you belfast dude

[grand solar]

Here is the other fleets.

[rancid mural]

Should I MLB unplacable

[boreal temple]

belfast dude the goat

[rancid mural]

Or is 5* fine

[sweet delta]

belfast dude would say yes

[zenith pebble]

i would lb but keep ur bulin

[boreal temple]

suchi belfast dude spokesperson

[stark quiver]

that leaves her at lb2

[viscid swift]

yes

[sweet delta]

i told you so

[zenith pebble]

why not z52

[stark quiver]

they dont even have enough backlines

[viscid swift]

none of these are good

[stark quiver]

anda UR backline would help the fleet more than UR frontline

[bold surge]

Why do you have so many heavy cruisers in your fleets?

[zenith pebble]

create a thread and post your entire dock

from there we can help you set up a fleet for opsi

[rancid mural]

I dunno

Would unplacable slot in

[grand solar]

Dumb Choices

[viscid swift]

not necessarily for campaign

[zenith pebble]

i have shinano, musashi, and implac

[viscid swift]

but she'll be used quite heavily in OpSi and such

[rancid mural]

I can't access world 12 or 13 because my commander level is too low

[grand solar]

Because I was never a fan of how squishy destroyers seem to die no matter where they were placed in my fleets.

[wind hazel]

that's ok keep farming ch11

[zenith pebble]

implac is still a beast

[viscid swift]

levels, gear, etc

[wind hazel]

might as well kick off saratoga, move aquila/implacable and level them up

[rancid mural]

Is this fine for subs?

[zenith pebble]

replace middle fish for 81

[rancid mural]

Alright thanks

[zenith pebble]

perfect wolf pact

[viscid swift]

also to be blunt, someone like London is more fargile than a lot of DDs

[rancid mural]

I don't have 81 rip

[bold surge]

Depending on the situation you could replace a dd with a cl, but 2 or 3 CA's in one fleet is a bit too much

[zenith pebble]

all you can really do is keep pulling

[viscid swift]

what

[zenith pebble]

its what im doing to get aquila rn

[rancid mural]

U101 work?

[viscid swift]

hull type is rather irrelevant in this game

[stark quiver]

idt you should pull for u81
and speaking from personal experience, aquila fishing is a bad idea

[zenith pebble]

yeah, only temporarly. i have her rn

[wind hazel]

transitional at best, i'd just leave the subs for now

[rancid mural]

Alright

Where do you "get" these? Is there a level to farm

[viscid swift]

not really

[wind hazel]

just play daily and do commissions, they stack up naturally

[viscid swift]

play regularly and you'll get more than enough

[thorny plume]

can strongholds drop UR plans or is it only sr

[stark quiver]

i think it can

[zenith pebble]

i cant do strongholds just yet and its bs

[sweet delta]

ok....

[viscid swift]

you know you can leave them, heal in port, and come back without losing progress right

[zenith pebble]

didnt know that, thanks

strongholds are like abyssal?

[thorny plume]

different

[viscid swift]

no

[stark quiver]

it has multiple bosses and mobs

[zenith pebble]

so its gonna be like a normal zone, but its harder

[stark quiver]

i run
musashi,soyuz,alsace,
laff2,jim,eld and it clears fine

[zenith pebble]

can i just get rid of boss hp or do i need to kill them

[stark quiver]

kill

[zenith pebble]

jim?

[weary gust]

What difference is there between getting rid of the boss's hp and killing it?

[stark quiver]

jintsuu meta

[zenith pebble]

one you can leave and heal up and then reengage without losing progress

one youll lose progress when you leave i think

[thorny plume]

just checked the wiki strongholds dont drop ur plans

[stark quiver]

i think you can die in a boss and itll stay that hp

[zenith pebble]

but when you leave a regular zone and heal at port, your progress resets right?

[thorny plume]

it does show that abyssal c4 and up have a chance to drop 1 upon death

[sweet delta]

Strongholds can give UR designs

Because of cat nodes

[thorny plume]

ok was going to say

fair enough

[thorny plume]

just confirmed that you can leave stronghold to heal and come back without losing progress or spending another 200 ap

[zenith pebble]

what about regular zone?

[weary gust]

Explorable zones and strongholds can be left and returned to at any time after paying the initial ap cost. Logger zones (hidden/abyssal) disappear when left.

Secured zones generate new each time and you can't return to the exact same instance you were in, it'll just make a new one.

[golden moth]

Is the upcoming update will be 8hrs or 6hrs only

[weary gust]

Prob 6hr but idk if it's been said yet how long is expected.

[whole stump]

does dorm lvl 2 give more affinity?

[polar raft]

How do I fix this?

[weary gust]

You press confirm*. You've capped spec cores for the month.

[stark quiver]

floor two of dorm does not give affinity

[polar raft]

I didn’t even know there was a limit lol

Speaking of dorm, does 2nd floor give any new slots to open?

Or just pure decoration

[stark quiver]

no, it mirrors your first floor
and provides morale regen, no exp and aff gain

[whole stump]

does taihou ever see any use?

[polar raft]

So you can only have 6 slots open in total?

[stark quiver]

no lol

[stark quiver]

12 in total if you buy every single slot (dont if f2p)

[whole stump]

bruh im tryna oath someone who's relevant lol maybe yorktown for yorktown 2 if i ever get her

[polar raft]

Ah ok thx

[weary gust]

Don't oath for meta/stats*. You don't get enough rings for that as f2p, ships constantly change which gets used, and it'll throw off sync timings to only have a handful.

[whole stump]

y

[sweet delta]

Feel free but not obligated to oath for meta/stats

[stark quiver]

all or nothing

unless you wanna go thru more steps to sync*

[whole stump]

isn't oath just for skin

[stark quiver]

you get a total of 6% more stats at 200aff and a skin if she has one

[thorny plume]

she gets to see use as my wallpaper

[whole stump]

ooo wtf

longterm then who is good to oath

[sweet delta]

Long term will you be f2p

[thorny plume]

i do like unicorns oath skin as i have it, but implacables is nice too

[whole stump]

probably yes

implac have oath skin?

[stark quiver]

then oath whoever u like, if its a UR backline or whatnot backliner, then be prepared to go thru more steps to sync and not be able to copy someone elses homework

[whole stump]

sync meaning?

[thorny plume]

timing of skills and such

[stark quiver]

like specific gear comps and timing

[thorny plume]

obv dont want backline dropping their deeps before helena or another can land debuffs

[whole stump]

i play auto tho does that matter?

[wind hazel]

depends whether you wanna chase numbers or not

[whole stump]

ahh ok tyty, not too concerned abt that

[wintry quartz]

wats the main gear i should craft in the gear lab for UR or are the specifics i should use depending on what im building

[cobalt gate]

so is the strength of hedghog based on the asw of ship that has the equipment or full vanguard?

[wind hazel]

for electric components ull want 2-3 wyverns = 2 junkers > 2 ryuusei in depot if you didnt already get em > 1-3 flaps > 1-2 457 in depot ( 1 can be from protocores )
UR selectors should first be spent on 2-3 wyverns > 1-2 mk 7 > 1-2 100kais
UR test reports is 1-2 457 in depot > w.e
gold test reports is 1-3 flaps >= ~2 155kai > 1-2 457 in depot > rest
the other u can check pic from /gearlab top bottom prio coz mats are more abundant/not high prios and/or non conflicting

[stark quiver]

wont tenrai be good with ords

[cobalt gate]

is 155 kai better than the dd gun against chap 14 suicide?

[wintry quartz]

i have no Ur gear lab stuff

[wind hazel]

maybe, this was outdated from old renhex, might need update

[stark quiver]

wyvern will be your first Ur gear to craft
the jump from barracuda to wyv is a lot greater

[wintry quartz]

this is what i got rn

[stark quiver]

go get wyverns pls

theyll help you out big time

[wintry quartz]

alright

[stark quiver]

im thinking lab + proto and skip pr4 research

[wintry quartz]

who should i use wyvern on?

[zenith pebble]

haku?

[stark quiver]

lwk amagi cv

[soft raft]

Only one I can really 100% say for sure is Unicorn

Mainly cuz gearing is very situational while Unicorn is basically a permanent fixture in your mob fleet

[wind hazel]

usually on your mobbing CV/L

[stark quiver]

well that also works

[zenith pebble]

yeah uni is best

[stark quiver]

[zenith pebble]

ok damn

[wintry quartz]

can i use it on perseus

[soft raft]

Cursed AF
That's 1) very slow and 2) has basically minimal interception capability

[cobalt gate]

map 15?

[wintry quartz]

😭 idk how to build stuff

[zenith pebble]

so persus is better than uni?

[soft raft]

Sure but frankly why use Perseus when Unicorn does the same job as her, and does it better in late campaign

[wind hazel]

not really, but can be

[stark quiver]

alright time to speedrun homework,

[zenith pebble]

you got it

[soft raft]

Roughly equal up until at earliest W14
Then her +90% longer reload really bites her in W15

[wintry quartz]

u mind helpin me with pretty much everything then

[sudden folio]

gang scylla is just not dropping :')

[wind hazel]

boo

[zenith pebble]

ah, since im going into w14 just use uni

[wintry quartz]

cuz i defo have stuff not correct with builds

[soft raft]

Nothing we can do to help than tell you to pray so

In the meantime #al-general is that way

[soft raft]

Give this a read first if you haven't already
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[wintry quartz]

should i make a thread

[zenith pebble]

sure

itll summon belfast dude

[wind hazel]

💀

[stark quiver]

belfast dude needs to sleep

[zenith pebble]

good night belfast dude

[wintry quartz]

yea ive seen basically all of this

[boreal temple]

did you read it tho

[stark quiver]

i have not

[grave venture]

Can someone tell me which ship is best

Because I am new player and I don't know which ship is best

Can you please give 7 or 8 ship name please 🥺

[boreal temple]

if you scroll upwards a bit you should read the newbie tips too that would help you a lot

[tropic tusk]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips try giving this a read

[grave venture]

Thank you man

[harsh verge]

What's the best CA HE gun I can get easily? Is it the Proto 203mm from the Core shop?

[sweet delta]

if you must have an HE CA gun, then it's twin 203 from french gear lab

[humble vine]

Is it worth running two Yorktown II's or should I just use it for limit breaking?

[harsh verge]

I don't think you can run the same ship in the same fleet.

[humble vine]

Yeah I meant for another fleet

[harsh verge]

Not the triple?

[sweet delta]

two 5 star Yorktown II's is worse than a 6 star Yorktown II, and two 6 star Yorktown II's is worse than a 6 star Yorktown II and a 6 star Implacable

[stark quiver]

i dont see any situations that call for two yorktown 2, nor in the near future, limit breaking with a duplicate will be far better

[sweet delta]

this is the best SR CA HE gun

[verbal thistle]

Besides Raffaello, who should I level to get XP for Nakh?

[cobalt rapids]

they are all good tech, chkalov might be used ( or not depending on ur dock )
giulio is hit so her first if udc about chika

[verbal thistle]

I'll focus on Chkalov and Giulio after. Thank you.

[dreamy blade]

what is the use case of the 2nd 457?

[stark quiver]

odd syncs , less gear swap, 2nd campaign fleet

[wintry quartz]

should i not use the 457 on jus normal fleets and us the gold shelling guns?

[stark quiver]

457 is a Ur shelling gun , good damage and fast

[dreamy blade]

it's good for mobbing bc fast reload and ap ammo ballistics

[wintry quartz]

i think my account is just cooked 😭

[cobalt rapids]

that copy pasta is pre gearlab update

[wintry quartz]

im still reading this

[dreamy blade]

well i already had most of the important pr4 gear so it seems like it should still apply to me

[wintry quartz]

we good here?

[dreamy blade]

i could convert my t2 ord reps to t3 to craft a 457 but i was planning to just grab 1 with protocore

[stark quiver]

no too slow, idk what its for either, unless its jintsuu meta

[wintry quartz]

i dont understand the armor typing

also should i only use 1 ur gear per cv

[dreamy blade]

fighters
hvar/bf109g for light
la-9/bf109g for med
la-9/2000lbs for heavy

dive bombers
skyraider/tenrai/helldiver for light and med
tenrai/helldiver for heavy

torpedo bombers
pr7 vit/ryusei/junker/saiun kai for all armours

fighter > torpedo bomber on light and med, torpedo bomber > fighter for heavy

[cobalt rapids]

no

[stark quiver]

youll likely use more than 1, but its w/e the situation requires

[dreamy blade]

it's just that skyraider is really slow so using 2 of them is extreme

[wind hazel]

any pasta v2.0 for tenrai?

[stark quiver]

insert tenrai b4 457, or equal to

[wintry quartz]

is the la 9 the pr7 dp onew

[cobalt rapids]

not yet

[dreamy blade]

the UR pr7 plane yes

[stark quiver]

macbeth is pissing me off

[wintry quartz]

so how do i build fleets per type

do i gotta keep swaping gears and ships depending on what its for

[wind hazel]

somewhat, but there's lazy version of it

[stark quiver]

hmm... simply put, youll have certain ships that stand out against certain bosses and armor types, and you kinda just swap gear and comps depending on the enemy

[dreamy blade]

for example ijn cv fleet is the best against heavy armor assuming theres no weird anti-cv gimmick

[wintry quartz]

ah lets start here then

[stark quiver]

ill do you one better and say i use my pvp comp for most bosses for 2 shot

[wintry quartz]

i got all three of the cvs

[dreamy blade]

amagi cv/shinano/implac + tank/kazagumo/sirius is the typical setup afaik

[wintry quartz]

i have pretty much all the main ships except soyuz zwei and guam

[wintry quartz]

u dont run all 3? or is implac for the slowing

[stark quiver]

for heavy armor unzen may or may not do better than sirius

[dreamy blade]

haku gets kicked out bc you usually need the freeze

[wintry quartz]

ight

lemme get ss rq

[stark quiver]

i should sleep, night gph

[cobalt rapids]

night

[wintry quartz]

bye

alright

wat ship should i use as a tank too

[cobalt rapids]

follow this recipe for planes while keeping sync in mind ( ur implac idealy launches 2nd and shes no further apart than 0.2s from the other 2 cvs )
as for you vanguard depending on content none of those can tank or should tank better said

[wintry quartz]

lemme shift stuff around but im a lil confused about what i should use for a vanguard tank

[sweet delta]

Timing will be off because some are in love and some are friendly but you can consult this for inspiration

[wintry quartz]

also shinano is my flagship right

[dreamy blade]

as long as it's not amagi

[atomic spoke]

im dumb
is event ending in 30m or 24h

[wintry quartz]

ion got any of the fighters should i try to craft more flapjacks or use an alternate

[dreamy blade]

neither
ends in 24h30m

[atomic spoke]

roudning error

[cobalt rapids]

sirius can tank because we dont care about her living but sirius doesnt last long and then kazagumo is next on the chopping block which we care about so only do that for short battles
unzen can tank but shes also not that durable and most importantly we dont want her dying first because we care about her living and dealing dmg
tldr neither of them should tank if u want a general answer

[cobalt rapids]

*also a note here in ur case the bf109g is equal to the conv tb because of amagi

[dreamy blade]

any of the usual tanks work but depends who you have available, anchorage agir etc but usually people put agir in the bb fleet

[wintry quartz]

i have other options but what should i use, i rather keep brest in a bb fleet

[slow fox]

I can't use Nachi because of Draw Fire

[cobalt rapids]

well idk ur dock

[hallow mountain]

is there a priority list for the current event shop?

I already got Royal Oak so idk if I should get the rest of her in the shop or use the currency to buy something else

[wintry quartz]

everything semi usable i have some arent leved but i can focus them if its worth it

sorry its a lot im getting hidenburg rn in research also

[cobalt rapids]

anchorage/laffii/z52(if shes mlbed)

[wintry quartz]

z52 is not but i can work on it, but shes a tank???

[cobalt rapids]

yes shes fairly tanky, less than the other 2 but has the highest team dmg contribution among them
so use her over the others unless she dies

[wintry quartz]

what should i use for heavy/med armor fighter

[cobalt rapids]

[wintry quartz]

should i craft flapjacks or do smth else with what i got*

[cobalt rapids]

only craft flaps if u have wyverns and conv tb done

and 2 tenrais in depot ( 1 can be from protocore )

[hallow mountain]

For PR5 should I get Harbin or Brest?

[dreamy blade]

brest is more useful

[hallow mountain]

unfortunately I only have 88 points for Brest, 105 for Harbin

[cobalt rapids]

harbin is coinable
get brest if u have prints to bring her to like d25 or so

[hallow mountain]

I don't

ok maybe I'll just go with Harbin for now

[dreamy blade]

presumably you will be in pr5 focus for a few months to get enough prints for a plygun anyway so you can pick her face researches when they pop up

[wintry quartz]

i think i have all the bombers and other stuff but idrk i just wanna know what i should put in first slot for amagi and shinano cuz i put my 1 flap into implacable

[dreamy blade]

amagi can use a tenrai in 1st slot

[wintry quartz]

im stupid mb

[dreamy blade]

but also suchi posted his fleet examples here

e.g. if no pr7 planes

[wintry quartz]

i have that except slot 3 for amagi and shinano is the ryusei

all at +10

wait nvm i put a wyvern in slot 2 implac

[dreamy blade]

ryusei is slightly slower than ju-87 but youd have to check your own timing bc of affinity/oaths/rld tech/cats

[wintry quartz]

can i throw in the the timing check thing

[wind hazel]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/ check your timing with this

[wintry quartz]

how do i export a fleet from renhex builder thing to here

[pulsar hornet]

Anyone here that has a one shot comp for Algieri? Been trying several things, but can't quite time it right. Couldn't get Bisko to shoot right.

[wintry quartz]

@cobalt rapids ill figure more of this out tmr but for now thx for the help

i think i at least got the basic idea

[upbeat wagon]

Is this AA good? If its good, is it for bb's?

[eternal basalt]

Second best for bb's

[wind hazel]

you can import them under settings>import>import aftl fleets

aftl, smh. it's atfl alft!!

[whole stump]

just reading through the past messages here, is syncing really that important?

i just found out syncing was a thing lol

[cobalt rapids]

sync(desync) is important for lategame yes

[whole stump]

something to look out for when i reach late game i guess haha, will def ask for help later on 👍

[upbeat wagon]

Whats the best? The other gold AA with hit?

[dreamy blade]

the new UR AA with hit

[upbeat wagon]

Is this a good build?

[cobalt rapids]

ideally bz is a bit slower than the cvs but not 2s slower over 3 strikes

its a build
could be good or not good but the gear used is good

[upbeat wagon]

Its for mobbing

[dreamy blade]

should be sword aug instead of bow but looks good otherwise

[wind hazel]

that's really only for pvp

[cobalt rapids]

if ure mobbing pre w14 use twin410kai

actually if ure mobbing pre w14 it doesnt matter

[pulsar hornet]

I see people using Yamato Guns. Should I stick with the french MLE?

[wind hazel]

😭 because they all die because of her barrage?

[cobalt rapids]

yammi gun is for timing
french has diff timing as in its much faster and ull need to bring ur carriers up to par

[rough marlin]

How good is Mainz? I'm currently working on Agir and I only have Z52 for my Iron Blood vanguard.

[wind hazel]

she's ok, today standard she's a bit behind

[rough marlin]

So not worth picking her up and just go straight for Hindenburg?

[wind hazel]

can pick her up for faction tech if you still need it

[dreamy blade]

most if not all of the pr1-3 ships are just for tech

[rough marlin]

Ah that I might do. Thanks. Actually helpful

[wind hazel]

if you need vanguard for exp grind then there are cheaper alternatives

[storm heron]

but don't you need IB vanguard for mainz?

[wind hazel]

why do you think i said what i said above you

[dreamy blade]

you really dont need to use "good" ships just for pr cdc tho usually just go for good tech

[storm heron]

It's like people going for roon so they can exp grind agir

[wind hazel]

or they can use rubbish like deutchland z23 z1

[dreamy blade]

fp tech rubbish

[wind hazel]

people getting roon/mainz/agir won't be talking about tech

they'd be using what they can get without hassle

[pulsar hornet]

Tried to make them synch and this is what I got...

Bisko is a bit faster at 21.34

[tawny notch]

Should I get unzen to 6 stars and implacable to 5 stars or implacable to 6 stars and unzen stays at 5 stars?

[wind hazel]

show all your UR

[tawny notch]

I can buy another bulin from the shop

[zenith heron]

do you have a shinano?

like available in your Perma UR pity?

[wind hazel]

use your last ticket to build today, then if no more implacable dupe, mlb her

why is your unzen like that

if 2lb from duplicates, it's good. if bulin, then in the future, don't do that

[zenith heron]

yeah, you kinda should mlb or not mlb

bcs half lb or one or even edging your lb isn't really a good idea

[tawny notch]

Nah

[tawny notch]

I don't have any more tickets

[zenith heron]

you can stick to what Mori said about Implac

[tawny notch]

Okay bet

[tawny notch]

And ima save cubes for future shipgirls

[zenith heron]

tbf you always use a ship on its fullest, and less of it is just its own detrimental problem....

[tawny notch]

Okay I'll mlb implacable then

[slim dawn]

do we have a data mine rn for the upcoming event?

[nimble knoll]

Is Royal Oak Gud?

[atomic abyss]

For a gold BB she's considered meh

[nimble knoll]

Okei

[atomic abyss]

No maintenance, no datamine

It'll be at least another 20 or so hours

[normal cedar]

Is upcoming EU event a non ur event? Is it recommended to roll on such events for new players who haven't rolled cubes on any ur banner yet?

[nimble knoll]

If you want, Just do daily light if no UR event imo

[wind hazel]

nah just skip

[atomic abyss]

Yes it is a non UR event
Otherwise they would have announced the UR by now

It is not recommended for players lacking cubes for UR events to roll for such events

You should only be doing 1x light build a day in that case

[dreamy blade]

typically these events are collection/waifu only but we dont know anything about the ships yet

[wind hazel]

even if we know i still recommend new players to skip

prep your cubes for CN anni UR

[atomic abyss]

Not to mention, CN anni will likely come with wishing well...

New players shouldn't do wishing well cos of cube shortage but well...

[wind hazel]

having aurora is nice

[atomic abyss]

That would be a better use of cubes than the upcoming one at least

[dreamy blade]

is there a pity for wishing well?

[molten zinc]

No

[normal cedar]

wishing well is where you get to choose the rate up ur from perma pool? cant seem to find info on wishing well anywhere

[molten zinc]

So eventhough it's a "rate up" you still can somehow not getting the ship you wish for because rngesus said so

[dreamy blade]

not URs

[molten zinc]

You choose 2 ship from the 3 perma pool (light, heavy, special) and those ship recieve a rate up like evebt banner (SSR 2%, SR 2.5%, etc)

You can even choose UR from heavy and special

And they must be from the same pool, like if you pick Reno the other ship has to be from light

[dreamy blade]

didnt know that, i never see people saying they use it for URs

[molten zinc]

SSR and below from perma are harder to get compare to UR

[boreal temple]

cn anni is like 2 months from now right? or is my math not mathing

[molten zinc]

Around May

[boreal temple]

the real cube sink for event banners

[upbeat wagon]

Should i pull in next event banner with 200 cubes? I need tech points for anchorage

[boreal temple]

I wouldn't pull much since you're like halfway from spark

Just get the uss ships you can buy o shop

[molten zinc]

At best if there's a daily build mission, I'd just do it 3/day and pray to rngesus

[dreamy blade]

it would be easier to just mlb the gray/blue ships that drop from everywhere

[vestal yoke]

I got taihou how good is she?

[dreamy blade]

nothing special but depending on your dock could be better than what you have

[vestal yoke]

can I replace unicorn with her?

[dreamy blade]

absolutely not

[boreal temple]

they do two different things

[vestal yoke]

maybe then she'll be good for second fleet

[dreamy blade]

there isnt even a UR ship that can replace unicorn

[boreal temple]

unicorn is a healer taihou only heals my heart

[urban grail]

unicorn is ur best healer, why would u replace her

[boreal temple]

taihou is quite lacking compared to other options

[turbid patrol]

should i focus only 1 ship or 6 ships in 1 fleet

[boreal temple]

Focus on one fleet

[echo nexus]

dunno if this is the channel to ask, but just wondering, when would the laffey 2/guam and sovetsky soyuz events rerun?
they're the only event URs im missing 🥲

[boreal temple]

if you're looking for an actual schedule we don't have one for reruns although iirc someone made a rerun order sheet somewhere which I forgot to save

[echo nexus]

icic, tysm

[boreal temple]

there we go

[zenith heron]

[hoary relic]

Im 10k point away from 50k milestone, should i all in to get the last t5 box and points to buy other things left?

[rain vine]

just get enough to buy what you need
if that happens to be enough to get the 50k milestone, great, but its not a big loss if you dont get it

[narrow arch]

So I just got Implac and I went to limit break her because I have 2 ur bulins, but they don't show up in her inventory

[tame jungle]

check to see if you have any filters on

[upbeat wagon]

Is it wise to mlb random ships for tech points?

[tame jungle]

if you need the tech, sure

i'm assuming to unlock PR ship research yeah?

[upbeat wagon]

Yeah

Anchorage, i am 120 tech points short

[tame jungle]

yea it's fine, it would be best to check if those random ships give actual serviceable tech too

[narrow arch]

Wait so I can only use ur bulins that are above level 1?

[upbeat wagon]

No you can use any

[tame jungle]

nope, you can use any UR bulin, but they just won't show up if that filter is active

[narrow arch]

Because the filter just isn't showing them at all except the one I threw into a commission

Oh i had to allow blocked ships too mb

[tame jungle]

also make sure you have enough to mlb in one go btw

partially limit broken ships = stinky

[narrow arch]

I don't yet bbuuttt I'm close to getting 2 more ur bulin anyway

Might as well since I'm going to be investing in her fully anyway

[tame jungle]

fair enough, not like implac is going to be a bad investment anytime soon

[narrow arch]

Speaking of the event and her, is the plane from the event shop actually good

Because I bought it knowing you should buy limited gear anyway

[rain vine]

no

[narrow arch]

Damn

[tame jungle]

it could be your saving grace one day when you need a very specific timing requirement

i'd always rather have it and not need it than it being the other way around

[crisp tree]

what do you guys do with the Elite bulins.. I dont want to build any Elite ships but at the same time i need space

[upbeat wagon]

Should I research anchorage even if i have aegir researched, will they both be useful

[dreamy blade]

buy more dock space

[dreamy blade]

if the content is torp/plane heavy anchorage can be tankier than agir bc of armor typing

not to mention campaign/opsi where there is more than 1 fleet

[sharp socket]

limit break purple ships for tech

else retire them

[crisp tree]

ig

Ill just limit break my sakura ships then for tech points. Then if its still too many ill retire some

[crisp tree]

I am sick with the disease called broke

[dreamy blade]

after 4 months i have almost 400 dock space with just f2p gems

[upbeat wagon]

How to get the xp for them?

[dreamy blade]

xp books/dorm

[crisp tree]

Also rings... Dock space or Oaths is a very hard choice

[sharp socket]

put in dorm or xp books

[dreamy blade]

f2p gems should definitely not go to rings but thats ultimately your choice

[sharp socket]

oath using money not f2p gems

[crisp tree]

Xp books. dorm and if you want to push it the tactical class comission aswell

[dreamy blade]

you might want to check if you can lb ships from the harder to get factions like np/sardegna/iris

[crisp tree]

might just swipe tbh. F2P is pain sometimes. also done with those

[dreamy blade]

having that much tech done with so little dock space is crazy

[upbeat wagon]

im more in need of eagle tech points but i do have some

[whole crypt]

sup mogs

[upbeat wagon]

What does the xp value in the dorm mean? That much xp per hour?

[whole crypt]

yes from dorm

[upbeat wagon]

Is 2400 good?

[whole crypt]

not bad I guess but it's kind of whatever, you rarely level ships exclusively with dorm, it's usually just there for morale

[upbeat wagon]

How much xp does a ship need to level 70?

[whole crypt]

also past a certain point you won't see much increase in comfort bonus and your commander xp slows

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

[sharp socket]

at about 400 comfort 80% xp bonus is normal

and you get that much by maxing out all the dorm coin items

[upbeat wagon]

Huh I have 210

But i have %67 boost

[copper glacier]

I think it took roughly 50 exp manuals to get one of my ships to 70. Each manual gives 3000xp.

[upbeat wagon]

It takes 100

[copper glacier]

150k?

[whole crypt]

comfort bonus tapers quite hard after 300

[upbeat wagon]

Its 300k

[copper glacier]

Why'd you ask the question if you already knew the answer?

[upbeat wagon]

Which question

I just knew how many books, not how much xp

[dreamy blade]

im assuming they are looking at the wiki page that was just linked

[upbeat wagon]

And just learned how much xp

[versed forum]

should i pull more? already got 2 impl it's just a waste if i stop it's close to pity

[dreamy blade]

not when you only have 61 cubes left you dont have enough to even hit the pity

[summer lily]

Anyone know why the game is saying ima exceed the limit when i only have 3 in stock?

[tame jungle]

your monthly income is capped at 5k, that's the cap you hit. your storage is unlimited

[summer lily]

These are so hard to come by… why would they cap it at 5k a month

[tame jungle]

idk i'm not a dev

[hushed delta]

it used to be 4k

[tame jungle]

just manage your resources

[hushed delta]

also if you play a lot they are not rare, I usually cap the montly limit by the 2nd week

[summer lily]

I srsly got these many & only use it em for UR bulins…

[tame jungle]

that's pretty normal

[summer lily]

Oh well i guess upgrading the UR ships is just gonna take longer 😓😓

[tame jungle]

it's going to get better once you're caught up and URs you already maxed start coming around, but until then it's a bit of a pain sadly

[hushed delta]

you can also get ur bulins on events, hit 15k points and you get one in this rerun

[tame jungle]

also make sure to always get the medal shop spec cores

[hushed delta]

you also get 1 ur bulin by completing the cruise missions

not all of them, just enough to get it to level 100

[upbeat wagon]

Its not a bad thing to reach the limit

Like dont stop grinding just because ypu did

[normal cedar]

does war archive b3 drop sr ships too or is it only d3 x60

[fluid umbra]

Which blueprint should I get since it's 2-5 only. DR or PR?

[proven wren]

ch 14-3 and 4 fleet building advise needed

[whole crypt]

like most things in AL your income outpaces your expenditure if you play for long enough

[wind hazel]

wtf is type wu seaplane

[forest palm]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Mawei_Type-Wu

[wind hazel]

ting an special

[ivory pawn]

If you can only choose one, get the DR, mainly for Plymouth.

[vestal yoke]

is the upcoming banner a skip or is it worth pulling?

[last zenith]

If u run eagle union it should be a good pull

if not, skip

[soft raft]

We know literally nothing about the ships yet

[last zenith]

true.

[ivory pawn]

I wouldn’t if low on cubes.

[soft raft]

Also [Insert obligatory "Faction fleet bad" statement here]

[last zenith]

lmao

I run a full sakura fleet. so...

[eager mulch]

do not recommend faction fleets in gph

[turbid marsh]

Yeah I mean if that’s what rubs you then go for it. Can’t argue that faction fleet do the same as mixed XD

[timid oar]

Any confirmed schedule of next ur banner?

[vestal yoke]

bruh as a newbie I spent all my pulls for this banner and still no UR

[boreal temple]

that's unlucky, go next

[honest stirrup]

If it can comfort you, there's almost no way as a newbie you would be able to mlb Implacable, making her use counterproductive

[vestal yoke]

I suppose, in the meanwhile I guess I just keep farming my highest campaign stage to level my units

[elfin hollow]

Is this okay?

[normal cedar]

how much of a difference is there in twice limit broken vs thrice limit broken (mlb) URs?

[soft raft]

closest we have to a proper guess is the 3 years of precedent of New UR events being Feb/May/Sept/Dec

[boreal temple]

Big, you don't use non mlb ships

[soft raft]

Quite a bit overall
dont use non MLB ships, especially URs

[eager mulch]

final limit break alone is like over a third of damage

[honest stirrup]

I believe that first skill is vanguard AA? AA skills are insignificant, and nation skills are generally bad since nation restrictions are too severe

[forest palm]

[wanton dawn]

if i have unlocked all pr4-7 ships is it still worth it to unlock the pr 1-3 gold ships?

[dreamy blade]

just for collection/tech unless you still have their catchups you can use for protocore

[wanton dawn]

icic that's fair thanks:)

[keen sable]

Yes but drop is not the same as guaranteed. Also B3 is lame in general compared to D3.

[jaunty vault]

D3 also drops sr ships apart from the guaranteed spark

[glossy granite]

Besides like Aquila what more SRs are there to def look out for? Even if its not in the pool atm and will rerun in future

[eager mulch]

enterprise

helena retrofit

[wintry obsidian]

Not much time left for the current EX challenge. Any advice? The Harbinger massacres my vanguard every time with those murder beams

[frank pulsar]

manual if you arent already doing so
watch yt video to learn attack patterns

there should be a few clear videos in #media-content , you can try yr best to copy how they dodge

[wintry obsidian]

Damn, better brush up on my Undertale skills. Loved the story but hated the gameplay so much...

[rapid matrix]

When it comes to BattleCarriers like Kearsage should I equip her like I do my "battleships" and just consider the planes an added bonus and nothing to focus heavily on too much?

[forest palm]

it largely depends on who/what you're fighting

[rapid matrix]

Nothing in particular. I'm just leveling ships up. So I'll just be spamming randomly to gain XP

[dreamy blade]

you still want to use an eagle/np plane for her skill

[rapid matrix]

I'm not aiming to do anything like chapter 14+ etc

[rapid matrix]

True. Id forgotten that

[dreamy blade]

just slap a flapjack on in that case

[rapid matrix]

No flapjacks for me. But I got plenty of Eagle planes

[boreal temple]

if you're just leveling then anything that works tbh w12 is easy enough that you can get away with no aux and still be fine

[rapid matrix]

Good good. I'll just slap a control radar and ammo on.
Love the character art but these BattleCarrier girls never suited my usual play style.
Need to figure them out still.

[boreal temple]

everything depends on what you're dealing with, gear and ships are pretty much in the same boat

[rapid matrix]

Honestly I go jack of all trades fleets. I'm too bone idle to keep tailoring everything before each fight.
I just get my fleets to around 17000/17000 in power and go "good enough"

[boreal temple]

and afaik there's two playstyles which is manual and auto

[rapid matrix]

I should say fleet construction style.
I'm more comfortable with BB+CVL+CV. so I rarely try much else like BBV or dual BB etc

Though yes I am a "slap on auto while I eat dinner" kinda guy

[boreal temple]

if you don't mind reading this would do you great things for your account https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleetbuilding

[rapid matrix]

I'll bookmark those and give a read. Then once I've grinded some ladies to 125 I can start trying new combos.
(Poor constellation needs a holiday from leading everything)

[boreal temple]

you'll do fine, as they said as long as it works

AL is an easy enough game to get away with playing however you want until you reach stuff like w14 then shit gets real

[worldly pewter]

wishing well targets beside aquila
maybe albion because good ship with good tech
then some subs like u81

[rapid matrix]

I mean that seems the main thing. You're killing little sprites going left across the screen.
It's not like life depends on it.

[boreal temple]

yep it's a play at your own pace game but gph exist for peepos that wants to minmax or need help with certain parts of the game

[rapid matrix]

True. Thankfully I have reached 14:1 and I can do fleets off my own walnut brain strong enough to auto 14:1 with no issues.
So I'm gaining more wrinkles of thinking to that aforementioned walnut

[sharp socket]

does launchine planes increase detection gauge

[soft raft]

yes

[worldly pewter]

as far as i noticed it increases it by 30% and can reveal

[soft raft]

tho the main part is not letting enemy planes get to your ships

[normal cedar]

I have not leveled up or limit broken any sr till now, but I have enough bulins to mlb any 2 sr of the following : U96, Scylla, Perseus, Royal Oak, Enterprise, Prinz Eugen.
Who should I go for? My current team is portland, laffey, helena, yamashiro meta, pennsylvania, unicorn. Nearly done with the retrofits on all except helena, world 7 rn.

[soft raft]

Enterprise to replace that Yamashiro META asap

[glossy granite]

Is using skyraider a bad idea on Yorktown II when you just play her on everything and dont care if it is Heavy armor or not? Cuz i think skyraider is bad on heavy armor content

[frank pulsar]

skyraider not recommended outside of light and med bossing

[glossy granite]

I did get the Tenrai yesterday but benching Skyraider feels wrong unless i put it on Implacable or something idk

[wind hazel]

just get used to changing gear

[glossy granite]

Welp what do i do

[eager mulch]

what do you know about skyraider implac

[glossy granite]

I am so braindead i cant even tell if you are joking or not lol

[wind hazel]

implacable doesn't use db most of the time lol

[orchid reef]

because i dont have implacable on mlb, what is the best dive bomber for her now

[tame jungle]

it's not going to matter but purple helldiver is always good
mlb your implac

[orchid reef]

okay thanks

[glossy granite]

Pls mlb her

[orchid reef]

when i get ur bullins

i know shes the 2nd best aircraft, right after admiral nakhimov

anywy did this then hopefuly good xd

[orchid reef]

by power shes the 2nd best

[orchid reef]

other sr steam catapult is on unicorn so yes

[glossy granite]

What am i witnessing

[stark quiver]

[orchid reef]

like really kinda

[tame jungle]

he found the tierlist

[soft raft]

that's not how you read the tierlist at all

[orchid reef]

i know some placements are wrong but some arent also xd

[stark quiver]

shes the 2nd best at what

[glossy granite]

''power''

[stark quiver]

shes not

[glossy granite]

According to astra shes the 2nd best in power

[orchid reef]

kearsarge ik

[stark quiver]

shes really low compared to other UR cvs in terms of raw damage
shes excellent because of her kit

[soft raft]

what
what does she have to do with this

[glossy granite]

Also do you think Implacable is good if not MLB lol

Yea what does kearsarge have to do with this 😭

[orchid reef]

nope but, she can still do some dmg xd

[timid beacon]

the tiers are sorted by rarity, and alphabetically

[orchid reef]

thats shes better by me

[glossy granite]

''some dmg'' dosent sound like 2nd best to me

[soft raft]

They aren't even in the same hull category dawg

[glossy granite]

They are completely different

[orchid reef]

idk i am still lowkey new to this game (only level 67 and f2p but yea)

[stark quiver]

same

[tame jungle]

be under no illusion that this implac build isn't lowkey demented btw, but she's going to come in handy in nearly all difficult content

[eager mulch]

we’re alo gph guys, of course we misinterpret ectl

[turbid marsh]

the community tierlist you refer to is only there for general idea, but in reality, there are many....many....many many things that is questionable.

[eager mulch]

like what

[glossy granite]

And implac is not even MLB anyways so why use her

[eager mulch]

implac being above Unikai?

[turbid marsh]

format, explanation, so on. not just one above another tbh.

[orchid reef]

because she can heal others or by what?...

[stark quiver]

northampton being so low

[eager mulch]

it’s dogshit because implac isn’t mlb

[glossy granite]

Perseus higher than every UR ship except Implac and Nakhimov, in that tier list

[timid beacon]

ECTL is highly generalized. it'll lead someone to believe that a given shipgirl is a 'must pick' but not specify why or in what role. especially because ECTL is painfully slow at updating their notes. they just throw a ship on there, slap a tag or two on it, and call it a day

[stark quiver]

read descriptions

[orchid reef]

idk what i could use instead of her

[eager mulch]

I don’t think shinano/haku/amagi cv trivialize the campaign as much as Perseus

[stark quiver]

put norhtampton up there

ectl isnt bad if people would bother reading descriptions

[glossy granite]

Just show us your fleet and why do i see 4 fleets lol

[orchid reef]

idk xd

[left cedar]

Perseus nowadays, dafuk ...
Klaudia and Uni are considerable better than her

[timid beacon]

most shipgirls from the last year+ don't even have descriptions

[eager mulch]

ectl isn’t bad unless people go into their server and go to the tiering channels immediately

[orchid reef]

here, main fleet

nj is on mlb

[eager mulch]

perseus only loses to unikai in w14/15 otherwise they’re pretty much the same

[dreamy blade]

[stark quiver]

replace nj with a good mlb bb
and nj with enty

[eager mulch]

people should just go into ectl discord and ping cia to ask him questions

[glossy granite]

I wanted to check out fritz but ofc no description

[boreal temple]

that's exactly what turquoise meant

[timid beacon]

any ship in the last year+, no description

[glossy granite]

Show them in the ''docks''

[orchid reef]

ehm

[eager mulch]

anyways i hate ectl

[boreal temple]

if you want fleet help make a thread and paste dock there sorted main and vanguard

[eager mulch]

im the biggest ectl hater fr

[stark quiver]

keep jeresy, replace implac with enterprise

[orchid reef]

like what they have equipped or

[timid beacon]

totally fair. it's a decent general tool, but it's not the book of law that way too many people treat it

[eager mulch]

???

[glossy granite]

No just as if your showing us your highest lvl ships

[boreal temple]

make a thread

[glossy granite]

and make a thread

[stark quiver]

you dont need to make a thread
literally JUST FOLLOW THIS and we're good

[normal cedar]

Any other suggestions than enterprise?

[stark quiver]

no, do enty

[boreal temple]

keep the extra bulins no harm in having spares

[orchid reef]

what is ectl xd

[indigo idol]

Hi I havent been active for the past 2 to 3 years in AL, may I know what fleet comp currently for IB is currently the best to achieve max dmg output?

[timid beacon]

EN Community TierList

[normal cedar]

ok, thanks!

[eager mulch]

hell

[boreal temple]

insert obligatory faction fleet bad statement here

[orchid reef]

i am new to this 😭

[boreal temple]

ngl faction fleets are a lot better now but still ain't better than just making a good fleet

[stark quiver]

the ectl discord is a safe,nice, and highly inclusive community where youd have a lot of fun

[indigo idol]

kringemarine oh I have sinned for picking the worst big 4 factions of AL, how can this be, I shall off myself because my dumb 15 year old self deicded to be a german engineering simp when i first started playing

[eager mulch]

people call ectl toxic but i call it home 🥰

[indigo idol]

real

[stark quiver]

built different

[indigo idol]

anyways yes I do use the community tier list but i do realise people cheese the game with certain characters as wewll

so i was wondering if anyone has a team comp that is best suited for said, maximum dmg output

[rapid matrix]

Honestly if you're new my personal opinion is that it doesn't really matter too much what you're taking.
Hell I was still using Norfolk and repulse all the way upto Chapter 10

[stark quiver]

bismarck zwei,fritz rumey,fdg
z52,emden,hinden

[eager mulch]

[orchid reef]

i am level 67 idk, some urs already kinda

[indigo idol]

interesting

[boreal temple]

[rapid matrix]

Player level isn't really all that important. What chapter are you up to in campaign?

[stark quiver]

zwei,rumey and fdg are there cuz big damage
z52 tanks/has good dmg support, emden 10% fp boost or smth, hinden does hinden stuff

[orchid reef]

need level 70 for chapter 10

[indigo idol]

is there a substitute for emden? or is that a necessity because of her skills?

[eager mulch]

hinden burgs

[indigo idol]

roon underperforming is not what i expected

[eager mulch]

roon bad or smth

[indigo idol]

i dont recall, she was one my top performers when i got her years ago

damm the shit has changed so much

[rapid matrix]

So you're still currently on chapter 9?
Minus the events and reruns etc.
I'd still call that waifu territory.
I'd just grind ships YOU enjoy upto around 100 and worry about the details later.
Grind for Super and Ultra equipment etc.
Took me 4 years to get to level 124 or 123... I can't recall.
There's no rush.

Plus after a couple of months everything you knew changes as the meta shifts around with new ships

[stark quiver]

uhhhhhhhhh.................... i mean you can run z52 middle and then agir tank

[boreal temple]

2-3yr inactive probably doesn't have z52 no?

same reason why no emden

[turbid marsh]

yes meta changes after 6 years XD

[orchid reef]

i finished chapter 9 xd

[indigo idol]

inactive as in i dont play oftern but i do play the evnts for the characters

[boreal temple]

[indigo idol]

i have most IB characters cause im racist I main the faction unfortunately

[sweet delta]

If you pay up, roon will easily beat Mainz in damage

[rapid matrix]

You can always replay levels. Especially grinding for ship girls locked to levels.
Plus op siren and...err...the mini campaigns I can't remember the term used for them.
They sometimes give equipment or ships.
Plenty to grind

[indigo idol]

only IB ships i dont have is friedrich carl and z47 cause gacha's a bitch

[orchid reef]

yep

[indigo idol]

this good?

[sweet delta]

Click this, although whether you want to pay for Roon is a different question, because there are a few better IB ships

[indigo idol]

pay for roon as in?

[maiden flume]

Quick question what do I do when i run out of oil

[indigo idol]

oh shit she had her own special equipment i did not know

[tame jungle]

she got her unique augment which drastically improves her performance

[tame jungle]

operation siren or touch grass

[rapid matrix]

Check you've got none in storage. In your emails.
Otherwise...err...

[indigo idol]

check your mail, shop for the weekly supply if not go and do any missions that offer oil. if not, wait for income to happen, by either doing op siren or do something else like touching grass

[nimble knoll]

Does Roon's Fate Sim Make Her Much Much Better?

[tame jungle]

iirc her fate sim is a little bit tragic
her augment's solid though

[nimble knoll]

So Her Fate Sim Is Like, Not Prio On Getting?

[tame jungle]

why all the pictures

[rapid matrix]

Because pictures are pretty

[boreal temple]

suchi did say that there's better ib ships than her too

[indigo idol]

for comparison and cause pictures tell more

[tame jungle]

no one asked for them though lol

[elfin hollow]

If I do this, will I be able to choose something? If so, what would be worth it. Because I have Enterprise on full

[rapid matrix]

You could always close your eyes when they pop up. Problem solved

[tame jungle]

it would be a different case if someone was actively asking about it but chat can get a little cluttered when there's a lot of activity, so try keeping it to a minimum

[rapid matrix]

Sandy is always worth it. Especially retrofit

[indigo idol]

my apologies than

[nimble knoll]

If you don't have Enterprise, Get her (or in medal shop) if you do, Get Sandy

[tame jungle]

can you get either hood or san diego from medal shop this month? if so, get one of them from medals and the other from this selector

if no, you can wait for next month's reset and make the same consideration

[nimble knoll]

I forgor hood is gud for Beginners

[clear harbor]

Who should be on my sub fleet?

[tame jungle]

nobody

[boreal temple]

at your level it doesn't matter

[nimble knoll]

Don't use subs yet

[clear harbor]

Do subs siphon xp?

[tame jungle]

not necessarily but they take other resources

[timid beacon]

it's more an oil thing, at this point

[clear harbor]

Ohhhhhh

[timid beacon]

deploying and moving them around takes oil, which is gonna be in short supply until later

[tame jungle]

not to mention the bulin/coin/plate/core data investments

[rapid matrix]

But getting surcouf to affinity 100...is it worth the sacrifice of a little lick of oil

[timid beacon]

if you want to prep subs for later, drop 'em into the dorm

[nimble knoll]

It's good for like, W14/W15, Maybe w13, Don't remember but those are where they're gonna be usable for you

[boreal temple]

or wait for a raid event too

[tame jungle]

~~or use blue books since you run out of uses for those soon enough anyway ~~

[indigo idol]

you could also wait until you have more submarine options later to select and invest on

[tame jungle]

but in all seriousness, with all the investment it takes to get a good sub fleet up and running i'd honestly just wait until you have the pieces for the actual good submarine options

besides who knows, maybe in the future some new submarines come around which will replace someone in the current comps

[indigo idol]

you can also invest in submarines you wanna use for other reasons if you not trying to speedrun gameplay

[boreal temple]

the only sub you need for anything else is the one that cheeses the weekly I forgot her name

[tame jungle]

royal fortune?

[cobalt rapids]

i58

[boreal temple]

and even then I still wouldn't waste resources at an early point of my account

suchi back at mojitalk

[elfin hollow]

It opens for me after some time, I think it's been 6 days already. Okay I will buy it at the medal shop

[eager mulch]

[tame jungle]

is triple cv mobbing viable in W13 hardmode

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[sweet delta]

I used it back in my day

[tame jungle]

sweet

[sweet delta]

Unicorn independent Volga with Harbin main tank

[tame jungle]

harbed all over the place

[indigo idol]

quick qn is odin still viable?

[honest sequoia]

How many gold plates to +13 a gold gear

[cobalt rapids]

define viable

[tame jungle]

120

[honest sequoia]

How about UR

[tame jungle]

three times that

[indigo idol]

w13 to w15 viable, trying to redo my team comps to finish w13-4

[honest sequoia]

Around 400?

[tame jungle]

three times 120

[honest sequoia]

Ah alright

[cobalt rapids]

shes pulling her weight in w14 and shes just a weight in 15

[boreal temple]

odin on 13-4

[indigo idol]

yea, managed to get the first 2 stars with her

no wait, only one star, explains why im redoing it

[forest palm]

13-4 isn't exactly that high a bar these days with gear creep

[boreal temple]

ah true a lot of good aa too

[indigo idol]

damm im still living AL in 2021

[forest palm]

13 HM, and 15 is where the AA bar is now

[indigo idol]

ulrich von hutten, mob or boss fleet?

[forest palm]

mostly boss, mob if in ops, do not use mob campaign

[soft raft]

OpSi Boss/Crossfleet
tho if you have all the UR BBs, she's benched completely

[boreal temple]

kms faction fleet

[glossy granite]

Btw do people ever use these ''Misc'' index ships? Like i got some Munition ships but i doubt they are good at all and just for collection

[forest palm]

they're essentially collection

[crisp geode]

Any ship worth getting on the medal shop SR CA section?

[cobalt rapids]

all worth getting for tech some better than others

[crisp geode]

Why is it Takao tho?

[stark quiver]

Devs said so

[indigo idol]

wow this is a tall order, triple CV mob fleet, what 3 vanguard ships for IB is optimal

[cobalt rapids]

are u faction fleeting

[indigo idol]

yes unfortunatelty

[cobalt rapids]

both fleets IB ?

[indigo idol]

cause I like to torture myself

[indigo idol]

ja

[wind hazel]

[cobalt rapids]

dont lock urself to only CVs then if u have rainbow BBs

[glossy granite]

Yo how do i make it so the Iron blood role will be behind Northern parliament? Cuz those 2 factions are my fav but i want Northern in front on my username not iron blood

[tame jungle]

by removing the iron blood role

[glossy granite]

Only way ig

Sticking to just Northern parliament then

[indigo idol]

i have every IB ship except z47 and carl friedrich, issue is that my mind cant comphrehand every skill so making a team comp on my own often ends in failure. i missed 3 years of content and trial and error testing.

[glossy granite]

Da da horosho horosho dawaj dawaj

[tame jungle]

also not a gph topic tbh

[keen sable]

Yes

[cobalt rapids]

well w13 is kinda easy so u can throw alot of stuff at it
luckily for u some1 did an IB only adventure till 15-4 u can follow
but for w13 smth like ruppy fritz strasser - felix z1 z52 bz ulrich avp - aegir nurn hiden should work

[boreal temple]

wait did esdeath go until w15?

[cobalt rapids]

esdeath went till 15-3 and suchi went all the way

[boreal temple]

[honest stirrup]

How can I find AL resources such as spreadsheets and diverse guides? Or do I have to manually search them on Google?

[boreal temple]

should've expected suchi would do that

anyone else did the other factions? or is kms the only one we know

[cobalt rapids]

search through tags in #bot-spam
altho most of em are in sams

some are missing sadly

[indigo idol]

nurnberg?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

or just put smth else

[indigo idol]

which one is the mob fleet

[cobalt rapids]

the one with

[indigo idol]

aite thx

time to spend the next month building them ig

equipment reallocation is gonna be a logistical nightmare

[cobalt rapids]

not as far as im aware

[boreal temple]

[boreal temple]

better catch up on those gear lab equips too

[sweet delta]

Waiting for Tempesta-only w15

[cobalt rapids]

altho sakura and eagle should fare off fairly well
royal navy sounds good but no subs
the others are idk idk

[boreal temple]

per usual you'd be insane enough to do it

[indigo idol]

i mean i did it for z23 at one point and id do it again

[sweet delta]

Royal navy is easy with uni perse and some random boss fleet and a full support fleet of illustriouses

On auto

[cobalt rapids]

nvm then

[indigo idol]

who is the one that that did the 15-4

[cobalt rapids]

this person

[boreal temple]

[indigo idol]

do you used the same fleet umi listed for 13-4?

[sweet delta]

I did not do 13 with IB only

[boreal temple]

it was esdeath for 13 i thonk

[indigo idol]

what was ur fleet for 15-4 than?

[sweet delta]

Although I am a true IB faction fleeter at heart, I do level up other factions' ships for tech

[cobalt rapids]

the 15 fleet will work on w13
but it was before fritz and z52 but i added em to make ur life easier

[indigo idol]

id like both options cause z52 and fritz is still under building

[indigo idol]

oh fuck i dont have z47 and holy shit is that CV support i see?

[cobalt rapids]

yes specific to 15

[sweet delta]

Consider that z52 is z47 but better by 5 unknown units

[boreal temple]

15 is a whole nother beast I've yet to touch

[indigo idol]

fuck it z47 is getting replaced by nimi, id made a stupid promise that id bring my waifu for every campaign

im about to pull my hair out with this one, subtituting ships

[cobalt rapids]

theres a simpler solution

[sweet delta]

Wait for 5 more years' worth of IB UR ships

[indigo idol]

wait i just realise, why is ulrich the flag ship

[sweet delta]

To avoid having to aim or auto every 8s

[indigo idol]

i see

[vale kite]

I never heard of ldplayer, what's the difference between the two? I am having severe performance problems for the past few days using bluestacks and i am considering switching to something else or just using my tablet to play

[sweet delta]

I agree BS5 sucks and ld9 was better than bs5, and mumu12 is better than ld9 according to me

[vale kite]

are there any disadvantages to use them?

[boreal temple]

not sponsored

true tho I can agree with what suchi is saying by disadvantages it just really depends on what your machine can run and experience differs from person to person

like me I ran stuff better on ld9 than mumu12 but for sure bs sucks

[sweet delta]

My computer opens mumu about a minute faster than bluestacks but for further questions better go to some other channel that's not gameplay help

[vale kite]

np, tysm both

[stark quiver]

I use mumu

[zenith pebble]

Honestly, i had the same issue with bluestacks. Main concern was it lags constantly and sometimes crashes. Ldplayer sometimes is just a slower loading but at least theres no lag or crashing going on

[stark quiver]

Ld and bs sold my ex score
Mumu helped me get high score

[zenith pebble]

Ill try mumu tonight

[indigo idol]

LD5 has the advantage of changing the emulator type (the phone or tablet model its emulating), has better performance while BS5 tends to lag more

[boreal temple]

just like suchi said this is barely a gph topic talk in moderations thankies

[timid beacon]

what's the max stage for the META fight? 15?

[soft raft]

yes

[timid beacon]

awesome, I'm on that tomorrow then

[frosty slate]

Any good teams against Hornet META?

[turbid marsh]

without any information on what you have, soy nakh rumey

[frosty slate]

Oh, I was just asking if there was a general good lineup... I can make modifications to it with what I have

[turbid marsh]

yeah, a general good lineup would be soy nakh rumey, z52 helena/kazaugmo/unzen/hindenberg plymouth

[white agate]

lets not forget bs random crashes

[frosty slate]

soy nakh rumey?

[soft raft]

Sovestsky Soyuz, Admiral Nahkimov, and Fritz Rumey

[frosty slate]

Ohh thanks, that's the OP comp now? 😮

[worldly pewter]

oneshot comp

if u are looking for 2 shots then the bar will be lowered a lot

[frosty slate]

Is Nahkimov replaceable? I don't have her at 125 yet

[barren pilot]

Not had a crash on BS5...yet, but which is better ? 🙂

[frosty slate]

And frontline would be z52-kazagumo-plymouth? in that order?

[turbid marsh]

yeah that works

[indigo idol]

thx for the help @cobalt rapids and @sweet delta my destoryers are on the verge of death but they killed every mob enemy

i just realise my submarines are not in attack mode, i am a horrible kommandant

[cobalt rapids]

not really
sub ammo is better used for calling than attack mode

[indigo idol]

i

did not do the call in... they arr still 6/6 ammo

[long mesa]

is it possible to get an Oscar that starts with a rainbow skill + soulful warior?

[soft raft]

maybe
would take quite alot of RNG tho

[forest palm]

simpler to just roll into one or the other

[grave venture]

Can someone please tell me which ssr is good

Or 4 star ship

[honest stirrup]

Unicorn (guild shop iirc)

about SSR ships... a lot of them are good so it's hard to list every one of them

[grave venture]

These are the ship I have

Can you please tell me which is best or worse because I don't know

Anything about it

[honest stirrup]

You're using too many SSR

[grave venture]

Are they bad

[worldly pewter]

u fell in the rarity trap

[grave venture]

Means

[honest stirrup]

Don't use New Jersey and don't use so many SSR yet for one single reason:
Ships start being good when they're fully limit broken (all stars)

[glossy granite]

why do you have a dupe Illustrious thats leveled up lol

[long mesa]

I guess that's the coin sink Manjuu wants me to use

[grave venture]

Is she really bad

[worldly pewter]

when u start it is hard to raise multiple high rarity ships
so low rarity is very recommended and does the job very well

[grave venture]

Ok

[long mesa]

No, New Jersey is extremely strong but you want to max limit break which is difficult for new players

[grave venture]

So it means I need to use blue ships

You saying

[honest stirrup]

Purple works good

And some blue are decent for beginners

[grave venture]

Ok thanks man

[grave venture]

Can I break the limit using purple ship

[honest stirrup]

wasn't that what I just said? 😭

[glossy granite]

You do know what max limit break is yea?

[grave venture]

Yes

To combine and get max star

I recently findout that you can limit break the ship

[honest stirrup]

yes
Also on that note, keeping two illustrious is completly useless, just use one to limit break the other

[grave venture]

Ok

[timid forum]

didn't get implacable, but got bunch of cvs
should i use any of this or independence is better anyways?

[grave venture]

Thank you so much guys and also I was right to play this game because I watch stix video and he told that the azur lane is extremely f2p experience and also the community is so chill and caring

[glossy granite]

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

[honest stirrup]

They don't cover the same needs, Implacable is a boss fleet, while Independence is a typical mob fast loader

[worldly pewter]

albion is very good but what u have now is enough imo

[honest stirrup]

But independence is indeed really good
Although I don't see one?

[grave venture]

Damn man your luck is good I guess

You have ssr ship

[worldly pewter]

[glossy granite]

Can i get some theory, what makes Fritz+Soyuz+Nakhimov a really good setup? Been seeing it a lot recently on Siren and EX

[polar lion]

U can raise Ark and retro her. She will help Enty and Nelson lands their airstrikes and salvos respectively on the enemy boss

[worldly pewter]

cat soyuz is the combo + a cv

if u want to know more read cat skills

[glossy granite]

Why Fritz specifically, im missing out here something

[worldly pewter]

fritz can load 2 fighters and it is best loadout against light and med currently

[honest stirrup]

Fritz is just really good by herself, she's replacable
The key are the two soviets

[glossy granite]

Hajime nagumo really is good damn

[timid forum]

then i don't need independence, because already have saratoga and unicorn for mob fleet
is ark better than all these ssr for boss fleet?

[honest stirrup]

On paper, maybe. In facts, no she's not worth the long term investments imo
But since you don't have anyone else raised I guess you can go forward

[worldly pewter]

well i hope he still has chances to get implacable but if he doesn't manage to get then ark is a good investment against heavy bosses with haku and someone else

[polar lion]

U want Indepkai in mob fleet. She's better than Sara.

Since u don't have Implap, your best slower/stop utility to aiming airstrikes/salvos will be AvP for light/med and Ark retro for heavy until u can get the URs liek Bizwei, Implap, Soyuz, Nyakhimov to fill in for that role

[hollow gust]

Bismarck

[eternal basalt]

No. The UR with hit.

[rigid onyx]

If I'm focusing pr7 is it better to take a 30m pr5 i dont care about or to take a 4hr G

[worldly pewter]

4h G

[hollow gust]

4hr grant is still a good research

[worldly pewter]

it also depends on ur sleep schedule

[rigid onyx]

Isn't the refresh better if i get any pr7 Q research after

[timid forum]

i spent 175 pulls on raffaello and implacable in total and didn't get any ur, not sure my luck is good
avp is August von Parseval?
then i'm gonna raise both ark and independence
thought about uss or kms ship for tech points
and do i swap royal oak for hood on next medal shop reset?

[polar lion]

Yea I would take the 30m if on gear focus to refresh the selection faster if hunting for Qs

AvP is August yes

[worldly pewter]

yes but also can u guarantee that it will show something good gear wise g4h at least is somewhat decent

[undone plover]

I would take 30m if u wanted more ply gun prints
but if u truly dont care take the G4

[eternal basalt]

<100 each. Avarage with 1.2 is 120 pulls

[rigid onyx]

i don't think it's trivial (or may be untrue) that 4hr g is better

Just was wondering if someone thought about it before

[cobalt rapids]

we did

[polar lion]

I would take the L on trash 1hr Q to hunt for 4hr Q possibilities

[undone plover]

well it has happened to me and I take 30m Q because I have like 20 Ply gun prints and I think at some point I will go back to get another gun
but if u have <10 can just ingore the 30m
unless u want to try your luck for a Q4h?
Q4h is the only thing I consider much better than G4h tbh

[timid forum]

it's 2.4 for any ur, no?

[mellow cape]

Nakhimov 2nd skil + Soyuz Freeze is basically a 40% crit damage boost

[undone plover]

yeah even if stats say q1h better than q4h I prefer 4h since I doubt u can get 4 q1h in a row

[eternal basalt]

Not to mention t1 parts are precious, while having tons of t3

[rigid onyx]

Does anyone have the sheet for UR rates of researches

[mellow cape]

I find that both Vanguards for fleet 2/3 are just a little too squishy. I know nakhimov fleet needs work but any recommendations

I could go Agir instead of Sirius

[polar lion]

U may want to keep using Oak if u still need to push W11 coz bomb botes train until u can get better BB with CL aux gun. DD aux on Hood might struggle to handle those

[undone plover]

https://pasokau.com/manual_psyencelabo

[little tree]

Have z52 main tank

[mellow cape]

Keep Sirius?

[rigid onyx]

are these rates in per hour

[undone plover]

I believe so yeah

[polar lion]

Ideally u want to keep her since she gives precious avi and hit buffs to your CVs but if u really have survivability problems when bossing then u may consider swapping her for Agir

[cobalt rapids]

ideally u give soyuz plymouth buff

[eager mulch]

giving amagi-chan Plymouth buff

[eternal basalt]

Is this gone when the event ends, or does it stick around another week?

[zenith wren]

What commander level should I be to start focusing on PR ships.?

[eager mulch]

world 12

[atomic abyss]

when you reach w12
because before then it's pretty inefficient exp and coin wise

[zenith wren]

Thanks

I’ve almost got Roon developed already, so I may as well finish her

Also what does setting a “focus” in research do? The community tier list guide says I should set it to focus on PR4, but I don’t have enough tech points to develop those ships

[eternal basalt]

It makes 3/5 researches that PR season

[zenith wren]

For building PR ships? On getting blueprints

[eternal basalt]

Both (gear and ship)

[rocky tinsel]

Is the oil cap for repeat sortie always the same, no matter what fleet you deploy? For some reason I thought it depended on what you were deploying? Does that mean if I want to farm with a 1:1 fleet I have to do it manually?

[eternal basalt]

Why the heck do you want to 1:1 an OILCAPPED map

[soft raft]

it doesnt change at all

[rocky tinsel]

I mean, I can get it done for 60

The oil cap is 180

Yeah, maybe I’m misunderstanding how repeat sortie works. This is 5-1, repeat sortie is 180 per run

[soft raft]

oil cap isnt a thing before W9

[rocky tinsel]

Right, my question is about repeat sortie

Which caps the oil to what you pay

[vale spindle]

It doesnt cap it

[rocky tinsel]

Or is that just an upfront cost for it to auto itself

[soft raft]

That's the total cost of autoing

[vale spindle]

It's not upfront payment
Its the estimated cost to repeat the stage for x many times

[eternal basalt]

It's no cost, just an estimation

[vale spindle]

based on the ships in your fleet(s)

[rocky tinsel]

Hmmm, that’s not my experience right now

[eternal basalt]

(and not taking subs into account)

[rocky tinsel]

A 16 oil and a 45 oil fleet

[vale spindle]

are you forgetting about the initial 10 oil you pay for entering the stage
