[wary skiff]

iirc its a 30 diff

[wintry quartz]

aurora is obtainable from what

[atomic abyss]

Light build only

[wintry quartz]

ah ok

that probably would be useful ngl

[atomic abyss]

35% more damage

145% multiplier compared to 110%

Also the 457 is able to get off 4 salvos in 80s, the rainbow 406 can only get off 3

Also also, NJ is much better as a bosser than FdG, her barrage is focused

So the odds have been stacked astronomically in NJ's favour

Not to mention, she's also killing planes better
So that's adding to her damage too

[wary skiff]

fair, ty

[atomic abyss]

In short, swap to a (good) BB AP gun

Whether it's another 457, or a champagne gun etc

[sharp comet]

can somebody explain why it says 1 (3) when u already have 3 at lvl 1

[wary skiff]

i just tried that, i put the twin 457 on fdg and the prototype triplee 406 sap on nj

it brought them closer

[atomic abyss]

And the SAP specialises in med armour so that helps

If you took out Perseus for another UR BB you will get much higher

You definitely don't need a healer here

[wary skiff]

raff is 5star rn i need 1 more bullin

[atomic abyss]

A gold rarity BB then?

[weary gust]

Give NJ back the better gun ...

[wary skiff]

yea i already did it was a test

[ocean scroll]

are muse ships worth collecting since they provide no fleet tech and take up dock space?

[atomic abyss]

I'm not sure if that's considered low for roon

You could always throw Helena in too

[sweet delta]

I must ask how many levels lower is fdg

[atomic abyss]

They are not
Maybe Illustrious muse is the sole exception for w15 support fleet

[weary gust]

They're part of collection% but aside from that not really.

[wary skiff]

oh yea i always forget to change my meta ship comp

[zenith pebble]

is hospital mog skin gonna be rereleased when she reruns

[forest palm]

don't believe so

[atomic abyss]

Definitely not

[zenith pebble]

so when the event is gone, the skin is just permanently locked like the bulin skin

[atomic abyss]

No

It'll be added permanently eventually

It may also be rerun during events like black friday

The bulin skin is limited tho yes, 1x only

[zenith pebble]

are there any other skin like bulin?

[eager mulch]

Increases with first and third limit break

[pulsar hornet]

Is 21.86 too fast for Mogador?

[atomic abyss]

2 other bulin skins
Collab ones too

[atomic abyss]

Way too fast

[sweet delta]

Just don't bother with mog timing

[atomic abyss]

Her lunge is every 12s
So you have to meet 24s

[zenith pebble]

oh, thats great. are the skins discounted on black friday?

[atomic abyss]

Just use the eld retro for the slow

Well, not individually

[sweet delta]

Mog only stops boss for third airstrike in a 3 to 4 strike battle

[forest palm]

quite honestly you can just buy the outfit have it sit there till you get the ship

[atomic abyss]

Black Friday usually has offers for buying multiple skins

[sharp comet]

ohh thanks

[atomic abyss]

It doesn't for just singular ones

[zenith pebble]

oh, so just get lucky and hope the skins you want are in a bundle, got it

[tidal yacht]

Is heavy or special better for building NJ

[forest palm]

you shouldn't be building for NJ

[tidal yacht]

Y

[wind hazel]

not worth the cube

[forest palm]

also you can just grab her off perm pity

[tidal yacht]

Trying to

[eager mulch]

heavy can drop amagi-chan

[zenith pebble]

it doesnt matter which you choose. you just spend 400 cubes and youll get her and from the wiki, she drops from both

[eager mulch]

but pulling perma is very bad they say

[tidal yacht]

I don't see appeal in event ships

[zenith pebble]

honestly i skipped too. however, theres probably an ur event around may or so

[hollow gust]

april

[zenith pebble]

fools

[polar lion]

Save for CN Anni UR and UR reruns

[tidal yacht]

Bismarck zwei rerun i think

[tidal yacht]

Whats anni

[zenith pebble]

wait cn anni? they drop ur at that time?

anniversary

and cn anni is in may?

[forest palm]

late may

[tidal yacht]

are URs just increased on anni

[polar lion]

No

[forest palm]

May 25th → Aug 16 → Sep 14th

[polar lion]

1.2% rate

[zenith pebble]

and then after that its jan?

[tidal yacht]

y save then

[zenith pebble]

youll need about 400 cubes to hit pity

[polar lion]

Unless u hav thousands of coobs then no need to save

[forest palm]

no those are just the major server anniversaries, the URs tend to be Feb, May, Sept, Dec

[zenith pebble]

oh, cn eu jp?

[gray grove]

Hey guys where do I unlock these backgrounds? Are they limited time events ?

[tidal yacht]

i mean y save for anni

[polar lion]

EN better 🤝

[viscid swift]

for the new URs...

[zenith pebble]

no, youll get them when you unlock dorms

[zenith pebble]

usaaaa

[forest palm]

they're from doing the 3D dorm stuff

[gray grove]

I do have dorms , u mean buy more floors?

[hollow gust]

right behind it

[gray grove]

Oh thanks

[sweet delta]

Powercreep is a thing

[tidal yacht]

what

[zenith pebble]

big pp numbers

[hollow gust]

cn anniversary = UR = OP new ship

[viscid swift]

new UR

[hollow gust]

there hasnt been a single UR gatcha ship that wasnt op upon release

[sweet delta]

perma banner = UR = not so OP old ship

[viscid swift]

Kronshtadt

[turbid marsh]

raf

[zenith pebble]

what do they do for jp and eu anni?

[polar lion]

U want to save so u can guarantee every UR that comes your way in case u hit pity everytime

[tidal yacht]

idrc about whats op

[sweet delta]

Then pull heavy or special for NJ I guess

[viscid swift]

JP anni is another UR event and EN is a normal SR event

[hollow gust]

Kron was pretty damn good upon release

[viscid swift]

she was good, but not OP/meta changing

[eager mulch]

funny April fools joke haha

[turbid marsh]

hopefully en anni is going to have UR retrofit as a trend from now on.

[zenith pebble]

if only

[soft raft]

If you're wondering why that's the case, EN Anniv is in August and JP Anniv is Sept

Way too close for both to get UR so it goes to JP since they're the biggest region profit wise (iirc)

[viscid swift]

just gimme my Belfast retro already

[tidal yacht]

tirpitz is abandoned

[zenith pebble]

havent heard that ship in a long time

[forest palm]

can't wait for Belfast II

[tidal yacht]

rest in peace her va

[viscid swift]

eh, she'll probably get a new VA in time

not exactly the first time a VA has had to be replaced in AL

[zenith pebble]

what happened?

[forest palm]

it's happened more than twice

[viscid swift]

a very TLDR
Ai Kayano was targeted by the CN community for basically nothing and her services were effectively terminated in AL as well as a few other gacha games

all her charcters got new VAs later on

[polar lion]

Abercrumb kept on almost dying on me. Double box or double AA radar better for survival?

[viscid swift]

double AA radar

[polar lion]

Aight

[forest palm]

dying...on 12-1?

[zenith pebble]

oh, it was due to politics that im not getting into

[forest palm]

that's a skill issue

[stark quiver]

are you suffering from 3bb/bm/bc in 12-1 bc you finished all cv tech first

poor soul

[viscid swift]

kinda but not really, you can find the exact details online but yeah....

[polar lion]

Air incap is tougher than I thot for these god awful flimsy BMs

[zenith pebble]

i saw and read about it just now

[stark quiver]

hi cheeky is new UR event this month or next month

[zenith pebble]

this month

[wind hazel]

how do you know

[zenith pebble]

because i trust belfast dude and homie never let me down

[wind hazel]

his name is april's fool joke btw

[forest palm]

April doesn't have 31 days you daft monkey

[zenith pebble]

~

i know

[stark quiver]

had me worried

[viscid swift]

Ender encouraged me to change it

[forest palm]

we are likely to get slapped by BZ though that's totally possible

[zenith pebble]

im pretty sure hospital event ends this week no?

[stark quiver]

oh nice, free cubes

[tidal yacht]

good riddance

[polar lion]

Wait hospital ends this week? I thot we hab another week?

[hexed glen]

Ends on the 9th next week.

[forest palm]

you can literally do this event in a day

[stark quiver]

wtf 3 week event

[wind hazel]

[zenith pebble]

yep 4/9

[wind hazel]

maths is hard 😭

[forest palm]

garbage event

[stark quiver]

more time to farm tech ig

[forest palm]

I'm running out of that

[zenith pebble]

i want more purple coins

how tf does it take 5 hours to complete 72 zones? im on 22 and 3 hours

[sweet delta]

Maybe take UvH and champagne off of your mob fleet

[zenith pebble]

even if unlucky, can i still craft 4 pancakes in a month?

[atomic abyss]

I mean you could but why would you

[zenith pebble]

because i dont have any

[atomic abyss]

Do you have Wyverns?

[zenith pebble]

not yet either

[atomic abyss]

That's the priority

[zenith pebble]

okie

[atomic abyss]

Since they're a significant upgrade over barracudas

[zenith pebble]

and if i have a LOT of resources, would klaud benefit from having 2 wyverns?

[atomic abyss]

Quite the opposite
They'd be wasted on her

Iirc she only has 2 2x 130% TBs

Which is frankly a waste

[zenith pebble]

what would be ideal then?

[atomic abyss]

Unicorn
She has 3x 135% TBs in a single slot

Independence has 4 TBs in a single slot

If you're using Shinano in campaign, the same applies to her

[zenith pebble]

i have both klaud and uni in the same fleet for w14 and using them both for opsi

[atomic abyss]

You won't be using klaud long term is the answer really

[hexed urchin]

What's the location for 2nd to last clue?

[atomic abyss]

Check the pins

[zenith pebble]

Memento

[hexed urchin]

Not there

[hexed urchin]

Thanks

[zenith pebble]

who would i be replacing her with?

[hexed urchin]

🤔

[atomic abyss]

It turns you actually need to click on the message to see it fully and not just preview it

[atomic abyss]

Could be a lot of things
Could be Aquila, could be independence, could be Volga
Etc

[hexed urchin]

Huh thought pins showed whole message

[atomic abyss]

Never have, never will
At least on mobile

[zenith pebble]

i keep seeing volga, and id rather invest in russian ur. aquila i gave up on because im not pulling for days on her. independence, i probably will if volga doesnt come after the end of 26

[hexed urchin]

I don't usually use mobile

[atomic abyss]

They do completely different things though

[zenith pebble]

damnnnnnnn

[atomic abyss]

Volga and Aquila are significant upgrades to Claudia
That see use in W14 and w15

[rigid onyx]

isn't klaudia a main healer

[atomic abyss]

That's her intended role

[rigid onyx]

you dont use her because uni exist

[atomic abyss]

But she's far inferior to Percy and Uni

[forest palm]

wouldn't rely on Klaudia

[atomic abyss]

Independence is basically the best mobbing CVL that's not a healer

[forest palm]

the problem there is she has no utility in the service of survivability

[atomic abyss]

Not that she's bad on campaign bosses
She's pretty good there too

[zenith pebble]

so my main would be musashi, uni, indepen?

[atomic abyss]

That would be pretty strong up till w15 yes

W15 you'd pick up Aquila or Volga

[zenith pebble]

russians

[forest palm]

even in 14 I'd still take AQL or Volga

[atomic abyss]

You would likely not use nakhimov for the main fleets no

Especially if you picked up Rumey

[zenith pebble]

so to put it simply, get more ur and gear before w14 and 15 and then itll be easier

simple enough, ive got years lmao

[atomic abyss]

More of gear yes

Or you can just ignore them entirely

[rigid onyx]

14 is honestly a check to see if you've done opsi for at least 2 months in 2025, while w15 is more holistic account check

[zenith heron]

Is it ok to use HELP item for Grinding DR Main Fleet Exp for smth like Nyakhimov due to lack of time?

[atomic abyss]

That's the whole point of HELP

[forest palm]

not as if the devs have been releasing more and more power creep in relation to world 15

[rigid onyx]

heclp is always ok to use if you want to save time

[forest palm]

drop the c

[zenith pebble]

hec

[rigid onyx]

not a fan of forcing acronyms

[forest palm]

that's what you're doing

[stark quiver]

plebs... i call it h

[zenith pebble]

amatures, its called

[viscid swift]

High Efficiency Combat Logistic Plan

[zenith pebble]

[forest palm]

high efficency, 2x plans...whatelse

[shadow cloak]

Where is the memento button? It used to be on the side but I don’t really play anymore.

[zenith pebble]

click the thing next for formation on the left

then click archives

[forest palm]

you'll see a dual sided arrow at the bottom right of the UI, click that

[shadow cloak]

Oooooooooh. Thanks to both of you!

[random eagle]

who's good with mogador

[stark quiver]

against what boss?

[random eagle]

yeah mb I should have said that

[sharp igloo]

Why is quadruple homing torpedo better than quintuple homing torpedo?

[random eagle]

im running her in boss fleet and kinda unsure about good synergies with her

[stark quiver]

for what boss though? the ships you choose rly depend on the boss

[stark quiver]

i think its the spread, and also the quad mag can be +13'd

[zenith pebble]

45 degree vs 60 degree

[thorny plume]

is there a way to skip the having to confirm "move on" chat bubble when auto farming opi siren

[stark quiver]

settings > reduce tb guidence

[thorny plume]

ty so very much

[random eagle]

not really any specific boss tbh just a general balanced team for now since I'm still kinda learning how to fleetbuild

[stark quiver]

hmm, well mogador doesnt rly fit into any meta comps for now, because shes kinda the typical damage dd

[random eagle]

hmm i see

[gray sphinx]

If you want a general team to start your journey out to do events and maybe some campaign then a LOT of ships are viable but fleets and gear change drastically when you hit like W13-15

[random eagle]

well is there anything I can change or switch around here other than San Diego that i haven't finished yet

[stark quiver]

kick out ulrich, alsace,kronk and mogador

[random eagle]

yea trying to finish campaign rn almost on chapter 11

[stark quiver]

reason being they arent max limit broken, which means they lose like two thirds of their damage
if youre unsure who to limit break first, then u can send a screen shot of all your UR ships

[random eagle]

hmmm

[dreamy blade]

Quad per torp dmg is higher and reloads faster

[random eagle]

I'll send screenshot of my URs one sec

I forgot I have an extra knonshadt

lol

[hollow gust]

None of the URs are usable

[random eagle]

so it's just cooked

[stark quiver]

how much spec core do you have

[random eagle]

3376

[dreamy blade]

Where did all your ur bulins go

[stark quiver]

cooked, just use MLB gold ships

[random eagle]

any good ones bc I have no clue

[random eagle]

tbh i have no clue

[stark quiver]

like saratoga,enterprise, hood etc

[random eagle]

ah ok

[stark quiver]

anyways, it depends on your dock and what you have

[random eagle]

I'll check around and see what i can do thanks tho

[karmic pebble]

Where is shiranui shop

[wind hazel]

supply

[zenith pebble]

click shop, then supply

[karmic pebble]

Oh thank you and how about the archive bulin where is she

[zenith pebble]

opsi daily mission give me purple coin?

click small arrow thing next to formation then mementos

[stark quiver]

#media-content message

[karmic pebble]

Bet

[gray grove]

Isn't there a faster way to do these? They are so boring and take so long

[stark quiver]

nope grinding campaign is indeed tedious

[gray grove]

Yea imma need a mental evaluation after I finish god help me

But this only appears in story right? They don't repeat in events I assume?

[stark quiver]

new format events are just one time clear, reruns dont count

[gray grove]

Thank god

i want to ask if UR ( the rainbow looking units) ever rerun? cuz i also wanna ask if its smart to buy skins even if i dont have that specefic unit

[stark quiver]

they rerun yes
you cant use the skin without the ship, so up to you
buiy skins with paid gems, not f2p gems

[gray grove]

yea i already bought the gems the UR ships i want are , shinano and mogador , the UR ships i have are new jeresy , kronshtadt and ulrich , i just dont know when UR ships rerun exactly

i know this is gameplay help , but i want to ask how f2p is this game? not like power creep just from the summon side cuz i noticed thta dong story doesnt really give u pulls , so how do players save up for new banners

[sweet delta]

many f2p players have 100% ship collection rate. Just takes at least 2 years, usually 3+, to reach that

[stark quiver]

100% free2play
a certain belfast pfp guy was able to collect all 770ish ships in game while f2p

[gray grove]

jesus

thats good really

[ancient condor]

can I get rid of ships after I've max limit broken them?

[sweet delta]

and you just play the game daily and do daily missions, you'll have enough cubes to pity/spark every new UR ship. And many rerun UR ships and SR events too if you're diligent and not super unlucky

[gray grove]

daaamn ok , so the main source of the cubes are comissions , daily and weekly right?

The UR tickets don't reset after you get a UR correct?

[sweet delta]

this UR spark count resets when you pick a UR ship at 200

[sinful escarp]

they get back to 0 after you claim the UR

[sweet delta]

limited event UR banners have their own spark count which starts at 0 and is lost when the event is over

[sinful escarp]

it wont carry over, so if you are 400/400 and build more, once you claim the UR it will still be 0/400

[gray grove]

thats not bad really

[sweet delta]

not throwing cubes at heavy and special banner would be a good strategy to save for the new, better event URs

[gray grove]

i think this makes it the best summon system since u dont really missout on anything lmao

[sinful escarp]

its a good system yeah

[sweet delta]

some people do 300 or even 500 builds and still miss a purple rarity ship

[gray grove]

yea i attempted and failed i should save up

seeing the new skins really made me comeback im not gonna lie

[sweet delta]

From a pure meta new player progression perspective, you should have spent 0 cubes on this event banner and just kept doing 1 light per day

[gray grove]

do they release those beautiful 3D live2d looking skins every event?

do players always know who get those skins? such as if new event has UR ship its 100% gonna be their skin, or is it just random

[sweet delta]

Mogador is expected to rerun in 2026 summer at this rate 🔮

Nowadays every new event ship has a skin, but we don't know which will be l2d, which dynamic, which static until the devs stream or post news up to a week before the event

[gray grove]

makes sense

someday i'll buy all the skins which probably gonna cost a minimum of my 2 bank accounts combined

ok thank u guys i should probably not quit so i dont missout on anything and play daily

[thorny plume]

dats fomo right there, dont let it bite you

[gray grove]

yea , crazy to think that i started playing azur lane 2017 or 18 but i never actually stick around cuz story was just killing me , but i played genshin , and with the amount of patience that i had for that game i dont think anything is impossible anymore

[sweet delta]

There was story?

[thorny plume]

what my story was called the great tale of "Skip"

[clear harbor]

Are either Jean Bart or Littorio any good? I like their arts. Curious to know if they're reasonable ships.

[polar lion]

Both good tech. BB FP +2 and BB FP +1

[clear harbor]

Ohhh, looks like I can buy Jean Bart next month...although, are there better BBs I should look into?

CL's and U-96 are availble for me to pick up this month. Any of those good?

[worn quest]

how do i beat this? I keep getting teleported to random tiles?

[hollow gust]

Keep doing random stuff till TB helps you

[worn quest]

i have been for the past 10 minutes

nvm

[polar lion]

FDG from PR2 is coinable

[paper ridge]

Hello folks, do you know when Alsace will come back ?
I'd like to complete a french fleet (I know it's not the best but to each their own) with Richy, Joffre Alsace Brest Jeanne Bayard

[sinful escarp]

aside from the rainbows... maybe monarch, hood etc

[polar lion]

96 to make good Wolfpack subs comp

[sinful escarp]

obligatory faction fleet is bad

[paper ridge]

It's a side quest for me.

[polar lion]

Due for rerun around mid of 2026 give or take

[paper ridge]

Ok, thank you

[sinful escarp]

if you have aquila, maybe swap out joffre

aquila is one of the best secondary healers for the later worlds

mb i got confused, aquila is an italian ship

[normal cedar]

Just out of curiosity, why are beginners suggested Pennsylvania and not Arizona? She's also in guild shop, her skills seem pretty good and all stats except luck are slightly above Pennsylvania. She seems to be equally viable option?

[sweet delta]

Penn has an RNG barrage. Arizona has no barrage.

[normal cedar]

Oh, I see so Penn better for dmg that's why

[sinful escarp]

better for mobbing mostly

[sweet delta]

Penn has better tech

[rain vine]

dont need healing when you got unicorn

[normal cedar]

Are there good main comps with 3 bb's/3cv's or do good comps always have a mix of cv,bb?

[rain vine]

depends on what content youre doing

[sinful escarp]

in terms of clearing campaign, from what i see its better to have a mix of bb/cv

[normal cedar]

I see, so it's niche

[stark quiver]

can i full auto all the explorable zones if i buy the 5k logger, granted i have the ap to do so

[sinful escarp]

as long as you put in the settings to not stop at siren or akashi, yes

[eternal basalt]

There are several other ways text got stuck on you...

[sinful escarp]

or traps that limit your fleet movement. aside from those instances then yeah you can

[random eagle]

same pretty much and genshin imo is less rewarding. I was on and off azur around 2017-18 until like last year i came back to it.

[sinful escarp]

azur lane actually has a story which i dont know since i skipped it all

[random eagle]

I'm a lore nerd so I'm gonna figure out the story soon

[sinful escarp]

we have a lore channel here #al-lore , you can ask there if you want clarifications

[random eagle]

also how do you get pr ships do you have to progressively go through each tier or does it unlock once you have enough total tech points?

[plain saffron]

you can start building anyone from any season as long as you have enough tech points(or ships for season 1)

[sinful escarp]

you can get anyone from any pr season, granted you have the tech points for it

[random eagle]

ah i see thanks

[elder lily]

Does event give affinity?

Oh yes Eldridge oath
Here I cone

[clear harbor]

What do you mean by coinable?

[shell willow]

you can buy blueprints for her with coins once you finished researching her

[atomic abyss]

You can use coins in place of their research blue prints

You're capped at 15x a day per rarity of research ship

And there are discounts for the first few
It's usually not recommended to go past the first 10 everyday cos the discount falls below 50% afterwards

[shell willow]

not capped, you just dont get discount

[atomic abyss]

It is capped

[floral moss]

i came back to the game after 4 months for the bulin skin how do i find Archive / Memento / Collections again?

[atomic abyss]

on the main menu click the lil arrow next to formation -> memento -> archives

[floral moss]

tysm

[atomic abyss]

I eat my words then

[thorny plume]

goodness since i reduce TB help in opi actually using strat search is so QoL

[plain saffron]

ouh i'm late 🏃‍♂️

[stark quiver]

can confirm

[thorny plume]

lol just casually drop a metric ton of money

[tawny bear]

idk how u have so much coins

[thorny plume]

time

[tawny bear]

dont u min max cats

[shell willow]

after a point you run out of things to spend coin on

[floral moss]

lets gooo my lvl 125 SSR bulin finally has a skin

[sinful escarp]

tech farming random ships to 120 does that

[plain saffron]

i mean you can just read the ingame tips instead of sacrificing your coins.....

something2 no unrelated gif in gph

[sinful escarp]

no need to minmax cats if you get them on the first try. just get lucky

[stark quiver]

she was cute i had to do it

anyways i was able to get so many coins by farming a lot

[thorny plume]

they both relatd to sacrificing

[stark quiver]

that was around the time when yorktown 2 event reran

[atomic abyss]

[nocturne glade]

is it worth making a couple tenzan kais since I lack ryuseis?

[dreamy blade]

sure, they can eventually be crafted into ryuseis to recoup your plates and some coins

[nocturne glade]

I see, ty!

[thorny plume]

30% mats back correct?

[jaunty vault]

no mats back unless you mean plates

you do get 100% if plates and 25% of coins back

also tenzen Kai does same damage per load as ryuusei

its just the AVI stat and firerate difference

[timid oar]

A fleet is only limited to 1 ddg?

[gray grove]

Are skins seasonal? There are few skins i wanna buy but the game told me "coming soon"

[sinful escarp]

no, i was able to level an shan and chang chun at the same time back then

[atomic abyss]

Nope, you can even use all 4 at once

[paper walrus]

Regarding catch up: i know that you can pick one at a time and that its 300 for pr and 150 for dr but are these separate? Like after im done with fdg is catch up for for pr2 done or can i get another 300 for a pr2 ship?

[atomic abyss]

The 150 is for each DR2
The 300 is shared amongst all PR2

Same applies to each subsequent series

[paper walrus]

[atomic abyss]

They are separate yes

[paper walrus]

Ok thanks!

[atomic abyss]

So for series 2
You have 150 for FdG, 150 for Azuma
300 for the rest

[paper walrus]

Ok thats awesome

[elfin hollow]

um isnt azure lane f2p?

[atomic abyss]

Yes, it is

[elfin hollow]

Though its kind of irritating, the mail gives us like 10 pieces of smtg out of 400 which beginners aren't really blessed with the items ykwim?

[atomic abyss]

What

[elfin hollow]

its either i'm playing it wrong forsure or it seems to me that its p2w

[atomic abyss]

No I'm not even sure what you're talking about

10 what

You are absolutely playing it wrong

You can get every ship in the game as an f2p

[elfin hollow]

yeah im def playing it wrong then

[atomic abyss]

And not with much difficulty

Sure you may not get all of them immediately but you'll get them all eventually

The only things you can't get as an F2P reasonably are skins and oath rings

[elfin hollow]

oath rings?

[polar lion]

How about u tell us what is this 10/400 smthing

[atomic abyss]

I'm guessing it's PR BP

[elfin hollow]

i'll ss gimme a moment pls

[atomic abyss]

Marrying, basically

[elfin hollow]

OH yeah i meant the blueprints

[polar lion]

Devs gib them occasionally for free in mail. But u also can buy them when promo around which the only way u shud be buying oath rings

[atomic abyss]

Well you're meant to get them through research

[rapid moth]

Shipyard/blueprint ships are a marathon, not a sprint.

[atomic abyss]

It's essentially time gated

[elfin hollow]

usually other games give like primogems or like pulls generally thats why i was lost and thought it was kind of p2w

[atomic abyss]

Whaling actually doesn't increase the speed of getting BPs all that much

If anything it's incredibly expensive
And you maybe save like, a third of the time?

[elfin hollow]

oh-

[atomic abyss]

To put it in other gacha terms

It's a bit like, whaling for more stamina to get relics/artifacts

[elfin hollow]

OHH not more like constellations for a character?

[atomic abyss]

Nope

[dreamy blade]

AL is unlike most gacha games in that the premium/p2w currency is separate from the pulling currency

whaling is 99% for skins here

[atomic abyss]

You only ever need 1 copy of a character

You limit break them for them to reach max potential

Limit breaking is more like ascending

[dreamy blade]

and pull currency is easily accumulated just from playing over time

[elfin hollow]

Is it that easy to get the character that you want?

[atomic abyss]

While limit breaking can be done with duplicates
You can use the various bulins as replacement

[boreal wagon]

buying a skin doesnt unlock the character no

[atomic abyss]

Well, it depends on "what character" it is

AL is a resource management game

That disguises itself as a gacha game

Once you've gotten the ball rolling as a slightly older player, it is relatively reasonable to get every limited ship in every event

Because you would have the cube stockpiles to do so

Early on, that would be difficult though, yes

[elfin hollow]

farming wisdom cubes to pull, to fit the name resource management game

[atomic abyss]

Well less farm, more conserve

You get at least 168 cubes a month

[elfin hollow]

guessed so, but auto feature kind of facilitates everything in this game

[atomic abyss]

That number is closer to 200+ if you account for the ones you get from commission, cruise pass, daily login streak etc

And you need 400 of them to guarantee a limited Ultra Rare

Which are basically the best ships in the game

[elfin hollow]

400 ?!

[atomic abyss]

You get ~200 a month

New URs come about every 3 months

[boreal wagon]

with how spaced out ultra rare ships are you (usually) end up having more than enough

[atomic abyss]

Rerun URs come out in between them, but you're given 40+ free rolls anyways so

[elfin hollow]

thats if i'm really unlucky hitting hard pity

[crimson glacier]

and on average you need a lot less cubes than 400 for ur anyway

[atomic abyss]

And it's extremely unlikely you hit 400 everytime anyways

[elfin hollow]

its more likely to get it at soft pity then?

[crimson glacier]

there is no soft pity

[atomic abyss]

There is no such thing

There is only 1 possible UR in a limited UR banner

It's more akin to a spark system

[elfin hollow]

i found the gameplay fun too even if some hated how boring it is and their impressions about it

[elfin hollow]

Theres no 50/50?

[atomic abyss]

There isn't

The permanent heavy and special banners do have multiple URs
But you don't pull on those permanent banners anyways

So say in the most recent UR event, which was Implacable

The only UR you can get in that event is Implacable

[elfin hollow]

i pulled some today- i hope it doesn't really affect my pulls later on

[atomic abyss]

Well, that's where the resource management thing starts

The next UR event will likely be around CN anniversary in late May

[elfin hollow]

okay if thats so then we're getting plenty of rewards by then

AL is generous when it comes to anniversary?

[atomic abyss]

It is basically the only time they give gems

Outside Chinese New Year

[elfin hollow]

Pvp is not worth investing into? Or is it alot more balanced than other games like e7, outerplane, and bd2

[atomic abyss]

It's a meme

[elfin hollow]

gems are its paid currency though so thats great

[rigid onyx]

it's technically balanced by everyone having the same stuff

you get everything as a f2p except skins

with significant time advantage ofc

[atomic abyss]

You could min max in pvp
But that's where the whales shine cos they spend money to marry all their ships for some bonus stats

But for most people
It's kinda silly (like pointless)

The main purpose of pvp is to gain merit

To get the ships there
Or the bulins for limit breaking

[rigid onyx]

attacker bonus is more than oath bonus

[willow dock]

Does it matter what CL gun I put on Fitz Rumey?

[atomic abyss]

There's attacker bonus
You're almost guaranteed to win all reasonable battles

[wind hazel]

yes

[rigid onyx]

there's as much reason to invest in pvp as one-shotting or EX high scores

[elfin hollow]

forsure, i watched some vids on yt and its all about time advantage

[atomic abyss]

Basically
Whaling in pvp is for try hards

[rigid onyx]

to discount it i feel like is a bit unreasonable

[elfin hollow]

Other than that the game seems simple

[atomic abyss]

Well if you view it as a waifu collecter
Yes

[elfin hollow]

Is 4 people specialized with the nickname "hates touching grass type of player"

jkjk i might buy an oath ring myself

Later on forsure cause its pointless early game ig

[polar lion]

Pvp u can even lose and still get merit pts so in the end everyone is 'winning' anyway

[atomic abyss]

If you want to buy rings

Buy when there's a pack for 2

980 for 2 instead of 600 each

[gray grove]

What's th different between these

[boreal wagon]

the background of the one with "ani" has special animations
(aka its basically a gif)

[atomic abyss]

Static vs animated background

[gray grove]

Thanks

[north totem]

guys where is mementos at?

[atomic abyss]

on the main menu click the lil arrow next to formation -> memento -> archives

[north totem]

ty this new ui gave me a bit of headache

[still pond]

is nevada meta any good ?

[atomic abyss]

No purple rarity meta is good

[honest sequoia]

never

SR META ships are OK

[still pond]

and another question what is worth to buy for real money ^^ ?

[nocturne glade]

is kazagumo the best general option here?

[sharp socket]

you can change to old ui in settings if you want

[nocturne glade]

seems like shed be good for cv fleet

[atomic abyss]

She's the best buffer for a CV fleet really

[nocturne glade]

great, ty!

Should I just give her 76mm gun and good dmg torps?

[atomic abyss]

Depends on what you want out of the real money

[atomic abyss]

Spot on

[nocturne glade]

great, ty!

[still pond]

most value D: battle pass / other stuff like the instand lvl 70 one or the lvl packs ^^

[atomic abyss]

If you want gems, then just buy the gems directly

If you want resources, cruise pass yes

[polar lion]

x2 multiplier gems packs

what is hindy gun used for? Is it just dps for medium armor or does it work for heavy asw?

[dreamy blade]

good for heavy too yes

[nocturne glade]

I see, ty!

[vocal sandal]

What are PT's in the current event?

Should I be using the tenko badges

[normal cedar]

which world do I begin upgrading and using the correct gear? My fleet ships lvl 95-100 now and I've been putting random gold and purple unenhanced gear on them till now

[orchid reef]

uh kind of question, if i mlb admiral hipper muse would i still get the tech points for it or i need to mlb the original

[shell willow]

muse ships dont give tech

[plain saffron]

muse doesn't give tech

[zenith heron]

Only OG's can give tech

Little and Muse versions can't

Unsure about METAs though

[plain saffron]

META does now

[plain saffron]

prob when you can't progress anymore

[orchid reef]

okay thanks

[plain saffron]

there's a lot of poverty options, no need the best

[normal cedar]

i see, there is still time then for me, Im having no difficulty now since

[plain saffron]

You can slowly equip good once since all is not enhanced anyway

[rose cosmos]

Is there really a need for a third wyvern for chapter 15

[wind hazel]

not a necessity, you can use breguet

[jaunty vault]

chat is there a chat frame this event

[wind hazel]

nyo

[jaunty vault]

thanks chat

[normal cedar]

Any of these worth getting except enty?

[wind hazel]

mostly for tech

[normal cedar]

Thenshould I get the sardegna ones? I don't have any ship from them yet

[eternal basalt]

Yes, they give 300 points

[wind hazel]

if you don't have issue with dockspace, sure i guess. i think it's only ever relevant for getting napoli

[carmine heath]

For wolfpack is bidder or g7e better?

[polar lion]

Bidder coz lower rld requirements

And Wolfpack can't actually use G7e properly coz they lack the oxy/rld to be able to output all torps. Only 37 is able to

[jaunty vault]

do boosted ESP runs not give the 20% extra event points

[crimson marsh]

do we have any clues on what the next event will be? im assuming it’ll be a rerun

[jaunty vault]

we dont

[tropic tusk]

rerun again? we just had imp

[jaunty vault]

[crimson marsh]

idk im js guessin

[tame jungle]

then keep guessing

[tropic tusk]

next for sure is new

[jaunty vault]

[shell willow]

current event is new tho

[plain saffron]

[tame jungle]

maybe he knows something we don't

[eternal basalt]

Little Formi rerun

[eternal basalt]

It works, IF you use the token...?

[jaunty vault]

what works?

[tropic tusk]

oh another little ship nice

[jaunty vault]

i used the token and got 330 poimts

[crimson marsh]

oh oke thank you

[eternal basalt]

Yes, that's the boost

[jaunty vault]

is that the 20% boosted rate

[crimson marsh]

kinda weird how we js had a royal navy rerun and were gettin another one but it is what it is

[wind hazel]

wot

[tame jungle]

surely that's relevant

[crimson marsh]

it is what it is

[plain saffron]

like they care about faction at all

[jaunty vault]

does lil formi come with event stages

[eternal basalt]

It's also not a big event

[crimson marsh]

true

[late flame]

br'ish submarine when

[tame jungle]

never

[plain saffron]

when is children day again

should be close right?

[crimson marsh]

its been a while since i played AL so idk how the events work exactly, left 2 yrs ago and rejoined during the raff event

[eternal basalt]

End April people told me

[plain saffron]

so lil formi rerun is not out of place

[crimson marsh]

icl i didnt even know childrens day was a thing

[left cedar]

where adults day? its unfair only lolification be a thing

[tame jungle]

iirc little cheshire ran somewhere close to zero to hero event last year and we got little freddy after that right?

[eternal basalt]

Shinano-Chan
Start date April 25th, 2024

He did say his stupid

[shell willow]

yes

[forest palm]

UR mle 1940

[left cedar]

custom names helps more than actual name of the gun, cuz several of them have almost equal names
like
this is a triple 406mm ...

[forest palm]

I just don't bother to remember them

[tame jungle]

UR SAP BB gun

[left cedar]

just like u, i did take some time to learn them, just take ur time to familiarize with game and learn in ur pace

[tame jungle]

i just look at the pictures

[left cedar]

is this a entire book or something?

[tame jungle]

your mother

[forest palm]

Improved mle 1940

[gray grove]

I'm level 56 RN and I wanna level up faster. , should I auto the event that's out rn or auto stages from story

[eager mulch]

HUH

[soft raft]

this event is pretty ass so campaign unless you particuarlly care about the event pt milestones

[gray grove]

Thanks

Is it true that the higher story stage = more XP? Or is XP = amount of oil used

[sinful escarp]

also use more ships, because with more ships you get more commander xp.
its not tied to oil cost, just to the number of ships in the fleet

[eternal basalt]

^ purely commander xp, not an answer to your question

[next rampart]

ummm guys

i just pulled this girl

is she good?

[eager mulch]

only at 6 stars

[next rampart]

oh okay

[keen sable]

Leveling up faster is just playing more. Leveling up oil efficiently is finding a cost limit map you can do.

[next rampart]

wut about this girl?

[carmine heath]

If I dont have amagi cv do I still exchange for shinano first

[hollow gust]

You exchange for shinano no matter what

You keep exchanging for her until she is maxed

[undone plover]

not sure if anyone told u but u probably want to save cubes for may event and not pull on perma banner

[still pond]

do i keep these exp books or just pump them all in my main fleet ^^ ?

[wind hazel]

keep them

[eternal basalt]

vanguard, main fleet is less + easier to level

[wind hazel]

you use exp book to level boost ships you wanna raise

this can be a mainfleet ship or vanguard ship, doesn't matter which, but don't use them on already leveled ships

[eternal basalt]

~~Me using them to lvl 115's to 120 when I got the 3000 warning ~~

[wind hazel]

i'm new so i got shangria lvl 102 uncorn 91 nelsen 91 portland 91 z23 lvl 90 helena 90 ^^

[tame jungle]

i mean yeah if you're drowning in resources it's not gonna matter
not helpful for a new player

[shut gazelle]

@tawdry halo you are amazing. That helped a TON.

Ngl though, the meta stuff for harder stages gave me a headache lol

[river remnant]

hello guys,if i upgrade the dock slots that is for me right?

ty

[normal cedar]

Guild tech doesnt reset if you leave the guild right?

[raven canyon]

should i swith the helldivers for the Skyraider? Shes in a mob fleet

( and i dont have a fleet for yorktown

[wind hazel]

no

[hollow gust]

I wouldn't , also 2 DBs for any ship is pretty meh

[wind hazel]

give her a fighter, and a parallel torpedo bomber

[hollow gust]

Same goes for Yorktown

[raven canyon]

alright thanksalot

which fighter should i give her btw?

[wind hazel]

the seafang i guess, already enhanced

[raven canyon]

cant i use the F8F?

or F5F i forgot its name

the blue ones

[wind hazel]

the first one? that's not great in campaign

it's the best against Light armour enemy though, usually against boss

[raven canyon]

i see

[wind hazel]

it also has no interception so it's extra bad in campaign

[raven canyon]

Oh

does that also apply for the non Hvar variant

[wind hazel]

the 2nd one hellcat is good

it's the cheapest best accessible option for most players before crafting in gear lab

[raven canyon]

i see

[tawny bear]

[sweet delta]

Are there patch notes already

[viscid swift]

Haven't checked yet

[rocky tinsel]

Is there a trick to doing the high levels of supply line disruption? Or do you just need level 100+ subs?

[sweet delta]

By high level, do you mean 65 or 95?

[rocky tinsel]

either

[sweet delta]

95 wants three level 100 subs with +10 purple/gold

65 is doable with one level 70 sub with +10 purple

[rocky tinsel]

Ah, so I just suck. I have 3 ~90 subs, with ~+8s. Though I dont' have any snorkels, which I think might be part of it.

[sweet delta]

Snorkels aren't good for weekly raid https://youtu.be/cxC2Iy4XVfE

[rocky tinsel]

TY

Oh so I am just a moron. I thought you had to kill the destroyers.

Is killing the bosses at the end of supply line disruption optional or required?

[keen sable]

Required

[sharp comet]

if u have royal fortune u can cheese it with her alone

[eternal basalt]

Still a week to go...

[eternal basalt]

Or any other of the pirate subs...

[sharp comet]

shes in the core shop tho

[eternal basalt]

Might have others though if played in October

[sweet delta]

She's a bad investment for new players though

[stark quiver]

Royal fortune is a waste of cd

[sweet delta]

They're already mid enough as is, and you have to spend thousands of core more to buy the good guns and aux gear

[sharp comet]

maybe theyre not a beginner

i did the last supply at like commander lvl 130

[normal cedar]

No need to limit break subs at my level right? I have SR U-96 and Elite U-522,I-58 in fleet now

[undone plover]

if u have spare gold bulins limit breaking u96 to finish the level 65 raid is not a bad idea

if u dont have the gold bulins u can try u522 instead or i58

[forest palm]

[onyx chasm]

Anyone know what i can do to get past ESP I always die at halford

[zenith pebble]

Why is prirate sub bad?

[onyx chasm]

Also what do I put for implacable

[zenith pebble]

No synergy or just because of her kit

[worldly pewter]

for the bomb diver slots there isn't much of a variety
if u have a helldiver use it or steal from another ship which i think u don't have enough from that pic
1 for enty and 2 for sara

[sweet delta]

Is Royal Fortune good?

@zenith pebble

[worldly pewter]

[sweet delta]

You shouldn't be using a non MLB implacable

[worldly pewter]

what happened here

[onyx chasm]

Also how can I beat ESP

[whole stump]

Why can’t I coin up?

[crimson glacier]

you need to level her up

[zenith pebble]

[crimson glacier]

every 10th dev level is like limit break, and they have same level requirements as normal limit breaks

[zenith pebble]

Wait was that a taste of w15?

[whole stump]

OH ty

[crimson glacier]

nah thats just opsi

in w15 you cant see the screen coz theres too many planes

[zenith pebble]

[little tree]

Everything seems fine to me

[viral solar]

Can my units gain affinity by doing missions at tose event stages?

[wheat ore]

what is the best way to get oil?

is it through the missions?

[atomic abyss]

the weekly oil pack, weekly missions

outside of that nothing notable

oil is meant to be managed properly, not farmed

[atomic abyss]

yes

[eternal basalt]

Commissions

[wheat ore]

oh right cuz this is my first week of playing the game and I think i've completed all the missions, so there's no way for me to get more oil

[atomic abyss]

perfectly normal

[wheat ore]

oh right yeah i forgot about those

[eternal basalt]

Also first week player doesn't have oil caps yet that make vets have more oil than the USA.

[wheat ore]

what's oil caps? Is it just to allow you to store more oil?

[eternal basalt]

It's stages with a spending cap, as said, much later unlocked

[wheat ore]

oh okay yeah that makes sense

also would you say that this is lucky? or is the game usually pretty generous with SRs

[atomic abyss]

lucky in the sense of rng

[eternal basalt]

Now you said store oil, where you here when maintenance happened? You might have oil in your mail storage.

[atomic abyss]

unlucky because you werent supposed to be rolling to begin with

new players are always recommended to stockpile cubes for UR events

[wheat ore]

when was the maintenance

[wheat ore]

yeah I stopped rolling now

[eternal basalt]

Thursday is maint day (none this week though)

[stark quiver]

Yes but I’d only use event for aff farming if I’m running a fleet of almost full oathed and 125 ships
Or if I’m farming until 40k pts

[wheat ore]

oh i wasn't playing at that time i think, I started last friday or saturday

[eternal basalt]

It's lvl 90 event though, very easy

[stark quiver]

I mean it gives like minimal rewards
I meant it’s better if you’re using mostly capped ships for aff farming

[eternal basalt]

I like them maxed affinity when I leave them in the dust at level 120

[lyric stump]

Do we have 1 shot hornet meta?? Pls help

[atomic abyss]

#gameplay-help message

probably missing bis gear and or tech

[worldly pewter]

or missing conceal luck

[shadow yarrow]

Does round shot only affect the tempesta using it? The ammo part

i have a tempesta in my surface fleet with round shot but does only she benefit from it at 1/6 ammo?

[undone plover]

everyone benefits
but it means running at least one tempesta
which is often not good in later chapters

[wheat ore]

is there any downside to doing commissions?

[atomic abyss]

no

[wheat ore]

so it doesn't cost me anything and I should do them all the time?

[atomic abyss]

well
the ships in commissions cant be used while they're on the commission

there are commissions that use 1.2k oil
dont do them

[wheat ore]

oh okay thanks I'll watch out for those

[atomic abyss]

oil better spent on grinding

[grave prairie]

Hello, do either of these have any META purposes or niche roles that only they can fulfil ?

[atomic abyss]

fancy is a decent tank
doesnt beat stuff like anchorage though

[grave prairie]

+2 dock space it is then, thanks!

[sweet delta]

After spending that exp and gold bulins 💀

[grave prairie]

I have maxed out almost every ship bullin wise, and exp isn’t a big deal :)

[zenith pebble]

What faction is mot

[undone plover]

tempesta but idk why it is mot

[shadow yarrow]

how much does rainbow torp do for exeter considering her high torp eff
not because i should but because i could

[atomic abyss]

close to nothing

base torp stat is still shit
and 170% isnt high for a CA

[jaunty vault]

which rainbow torp

[shadow yarrow]

The rainbow torp aux

[jaunty vault]

ah

[atomic abyss]

she doesnt even have torp buffing skills

[shadow yarrow]

I did say "not because i should"

[atomic abyss]

there are only 2 CAs that have strong enough torps
Ibuki and Unzen

i mean im not even mentioning how bad exeter is

[jaunty vault]

i dont think there's anyone that has documented how good Exeter torp damage is
i should tell you however it is not noteworthy

[atomic abyss]

because no one has even documented exeter being good

[forest palm]

I use her for fun

[shadow yarrow]

once upon a time i played world of warships where being a bad ship had serious consequences in gameplay so forgive me if hearing a shipgirl is bad hurts

[jaunty vault]

im a York typa guy

[forest palm]

it's hard for a ship to be genuinely bad unless they're bugged

if you have the resources you can prop up a ship if you like that's how AL works

[atomic abyss]

just dont expect them to perform miracles in hard content

[forest palm]

a lot of the power creep in this game is in the gear more than it is the ship imo

[wheat ore]

is there any reason you should 3 star hard mode?

[tame jungle]

rewards

[ivory pawn]

Two retrofit prints, and in later stages cog chips and even arrays too.

[atomic abyss]

yes, since you can get retrofit BPs
very good way of getting gold retro BPs as a new player

[wheat ore]

ah okay so I should go back to the old worlds and 3 star the levels that I currently have 2 stars on?

[atomic abyss]

If you need the particular BP, yes

[little tree]

[nocturne glade]

Just got my 3rd champy gun, do I need any more?

why do you have ancient age cannons

[cobalt gate]

ugh i hate how easily cv die to mob bb

how are the mob bb so tanky

[stark quiver]

pretty sure its stock on tempestas

[stark quiver]

aa radar
wait what die to mob bb?

[cobalt gate]

cv

[stark quiver]

what stage are you doing

[cobalt gate]

14-4

issue is its always random ,25%hp if hit 50% if on fire such a big difference

[viscid swift]

why 14-4 anyway

[cobalt gate]

new orlean

[viscid swift]

fair enough

[cobalt gate]

how much dmg decrease if i switch from a catapult to a vh armor / fire extinguisher

[viscid swift]

very roughly the percent difference in the loss of 100 AVI will be your damage difference

[grave prairie]

These are sail ships, they can only be fitted with such equipment. What they had on them were just stock equipment

[cobalt gate]

so around 15%

well going to test itm man i seriously hate how rng it is

wow seems worse

[viscid swift]

what are you running anyway?

[cobalt gate]

tamaka unicorn hornet meta

[stark quiver]

[viscid swift]

Tamaki?

[cobalt gate]

yeah

[viscid swift]

so I presume she's not maxed then

at which point you may as well drop her for Musashi/FDG/Zwei for consistencies sake

not like you'll be done with main fleets before vanguards anyway

[cobalt gate]

she is 120

[abstract ore]

Should i limit break Z52 or laffey II first which one is better

[cobalt gate]

and has maxed module

[viscid swift]

so why are you using her and not Musashi/FDG/Zwei

[cobalt gate]

ramming ships

[viscid swift]

Tamaki is not better at dealing with them than those 3 ships

[polar lion]

If u dun need the insane MDL survivability of Laffii, Z52 is the better choice

[viscid swift]

and it certainly doesn't offset the loss in damage resulting in worse wave clearing resulting in enemies staying on the field longer and your CVs more likely to be burnt to a crisp

[abstract ore]

What is mdl

[polar lion]

Max dmg limit mechanic of her skill

[abstract ore]

Ah

[rigid onyx]

people just be making up their own acronyms atp 😭

I'm stuck at 2 even after I used her couple more rounds 🤷🏼‍♂️

[elfin hollow]

The mission is like this then I try to clear 12-4 stage with lvl 125 ulric and 125 fritz will i still get exp?

[viscid swift]

yes

[elfin hollow]

even if it says +0 exp when i clear with them?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[viscid swift]

though I would reccomend not using maxed ships for the grind given how easy w12 is to farm

Does __ count for Shipyard Combat Data Collection EXP?

Yes

• Combat in Main Campaign, Events, Operation Siren
• Ships that are level capped for any reason, if the EXP otherwise would count. Even if you see +0.
• Muse (µ) ships and loli ships, if the faction matches.
• Use faction filters in Dock to double check.

No

• EXP from Exercise, Dorm, EXP Data Packs, Commissions.
• META ships. They are META faction, not the faction of their normal counterparts.

[elfin hollow]

Naruhodo thankies

[swift lion]

so I guess I should make sure U47 gets mvp or something to have it count or something els?

[viscid swift]

well where were those battles

[swift lion]

Honestly the event to do the grinding

[sweet delta]

Does campaign count?

[viscid swift]

I know OpSi doesn't

the event might not count either

[swift lion]

K I'll try a campaign one

[rustic robin]

If I buy gems, I'll spend the first purchase for all gem values or just for the value bought?

[zenith pebble]

how long are the file zones, feels like forever

[forest palm]

I want to say like 9 or so

[zenith pebble]

im still on file 1 and its been 7 sorties

[rain vine]

each logger is 10

[forest palm]

it is a bunch of mats, and a UR one at the end

[novel condor]

Is Napoli more suited for boss or mob?

[forest palm]

she can do either, she's just a beefier Agir

[novel condor]

Aight ty

[forest palm]

[little tree]

~~ Agir doesnt even feel like a tank with so much Torpedo dmg in Ch 13 +~~

[atomic abyss]

That's the reason anchorage is competitive with Napoli and Agir

Base med armour

Same applies to Guam and Brest, though they aren't as tanky

[little tree]

Z52 is my go to tank atm

[hollow gust]

[zenith pebble]

should i bother with arbiter rn?

im not gonna defeat harbiter anytime soon so like, i just dont see the point in doing it until later on in the month

[forest palm]

Normal you should be able to do, Hard if you can chip 75% off you have a good bulk of the rewards

[atomic abyss]

Just wait

[thorny plume]

bide your time

[slow fox]

I love it when gph talks about my darling eHP queens

[cobalt gate]

is this even worth lvling ?

[stark quiver]

faction skill = instant brick

[forest palm]

not entirely, you'd just have to invest a fuck ton to get rid of it making it not worth it

[stark quiver]

good rng moment

[zenith pebble]

is there a guide for the best stats on eat cat

[stark quiver]

do /cats in bot spam
do not do it here, cuz huge text wall

[forest palm]

like that cat is fixable, but it really isn't worth the investment as opposed to cracking more boxes

[slow fox]

[zenith pebble]

so basedon the wiki, i wanna have core instead of everything else on my cats

[stark quiver]

hm?

flame +/ special/core talent yes

[zenith pebble]

i just read through the wiki rice made

[stark quiver]

i mean sometimes cats are salvagable without flame and core
like this cat i have i have and another identical one, that both started with rookie mech and officer, rerolled the f out of them to get ace on both

[wind hazel]

💀

[forest palm]

you can salvage a lot of cats, but as I said above the investment isn't worth it compared to cracking more boxes open

[stark quiver]

those who know 💀

[outer cedar]

does OS contribute to the PR combat data?

[forest palm]

don't use those

[cobalt gate]

os does

[outer cedar]

im grinding for Agir rn

[atomic abyss]

Os does but extremely slow

[outer cedar]

k
maybe im doing smth wrong cuz its been staying at 380k for like 10 mins now

[wind hazel]

because not all opsi enemies give exp

[forest palm]

a fresh month of OS nodes can easily fill CDC 2 btw

[wind hazel]

or maybe you're using the wrong ships

[outer cedar]

that makes sense

my iron blood fleet rn

[forest palm]

Montpelier, and An Shen...

[wind hazel]

agir cdc1 is mainfleet, should be correct

[outer cedar]

im at combat data 1 so only main fleet exp counts
so they dont matter

[zenith pebble]

would i get he or ap bb gun

[forest palm]

as long as you're aware

[wind hazel]

not admitting mistake

[forest palm]

I see no mistake

[outer cedar]

i didnt at first lol
but now its fine ig

[slow fox]

An Shan might be more tanky than Roon in that fleet.

[wind hazel]

then why mention anshan mont

[forest palm]

because if they're grinding for Agir they should make sure they're meeting the requirements

[slow fox]

Brunhilde might be tankier than Roon in that fleet.

[wind hazel]

and cdc1 is mainfleet

[outer cedar]

yea but mine is at max 120

[forest palm]

which wasn't mentioned till after the fact

[stark quiver]

not even weekend and gph already arguing

[wind hazel]

the first pic.....

[slow fox]

Levels do a lot of work in carrying the tankiness of a ship.

[outer cedar]

ik, but my Brunhilde is already 120 max so i wanna use roon instead cuz shes not even lv100 lol

[slow fox]

You can do well by putting Roon in the middle while she's in her babylevel stage. That'll assist her in not dying if it ever becomes a problem.

[outer cedar]

yea ill do it later

[wind hazel]

if you got the time to nolife grind then c1 opsi to grind PR isn't that bad

otherwise seek w12

[outer cedar]

i havent even finish w10
i just reached 10-4 lol
im too lazy to grind campaign rn

and i have like 30 oils left

[wind hazel]

no life c1 it is

[outer cedar]

we farming 💪

[zenith pebble]

what level is the c6 siren?

and what do they drop

[wind hazel]

128

[zenith pebble]

can people normally do it with 1 fleet?

[wind hazel]

they drop deez

they are managable, as long as your fleet isn't dogshit

[zenith pebble]

wiki link plz

[dreamy blade]

if your fleet isnt great then it's doable if it doesnt have 1 of the annoying buffs like the 20s dmg reduction

[zenith pebble]

so im basically facing mini arbiter

[wind hazel]

~~https://www.wikipedia.org/~~ https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Operation_Siren

[zenith pebble]

for the loggers, are the rewards the same despite siren or cords?

[sweet delta]

Read the wiki

[zenith pebble]

im reading it rn

[rapid grail]

pirple E or grant dono 4h? assuming La-9 print prio

[outer cedar]

im just grinding c3 rn
and yes it is slow af lol

[zenith pebble]

the loggers are useful as fuck

it also takes around 8 hours to fully clear opsi with just 1 fleet and no cross fleet

[hollow gust]

you dont need to clear all of opsi in a thing, you literally have a month lmao

[zenith pebble]

you right. i wanted to see how fast i can clear opsi with the things set above

[zenith pebble]

check pins

[plucky gorge]

pins?

[zenith pebble]

go here

[plucky gorge]

Ohhh

Thanks!!

[fickle hollow]

Which is better against Hornet meta? i use her with Shinano+Amagi

This is my best when i use her with skyraider

[stark quiver]

depends on the sync of rest of fleet

[fickle hollow]

22.79~

[stark quiver]

theres also no slow in the fleet

[fickle hollow]

Implacable skipped me and AVP is a work in progress

[fickle hollow]

i am somehow managing with agir torps

[stark quiver]

did you not have enough cubes for implac

[fickle hollow]

108 pulls for impla

160~pulls for raffy all my cubes went there

[stark quiver]

💀 if skyraider syncs then its better

[fickle hollow]

what is the other buff that sirius provides along with aviation increase?

[fickle hollow]

would Z52 be able to tank hornet meta?

then i will try Z52-Kazagumo-Sirius

Would Napoli work as a main tank for my CV bossing fleet (OPSI) ?
AVP-Shinano-Amagi
Napoli/Agir-Kazagumo-Sirius

[stark quiver]

yea

[covert phoenix]

So is there any reason to build 3 times a day after you get all event shipgirls and 60k points?

[hollow gust]

Where is your slow

[wind hazel]
