[atomic abyss]

the first ever DDG was an american one in 1959

[zenith heron]

You can think of Yuudachi Kai as an All rounder....

And yes she isn't as much comparable to Shima's Torp damage

[atomic abyss]

and while the chinese did have DDGs, none of the an shans ever were

the an shans were just gnevny class destroyers

all save fu shun are still around today

[onyx chasm]

Can anyone help me with halford on ESP cuz she just melts my hp

[atomic abyss]

well what's the fleet and gear?

[onyx chasm]

1 sec

[sharp echo]

shinano?

[icy sluice]

Hell yeah Shinano is the way to go

Though the bunny-Mercian is also powerful i think

[atomic abyss]

shinano without question yes

[atomic abyss]

i suspect gear issue
tho im really confused why baltimore is there

[sinful escarp]

shinano has more uses compared to the others

[onyx chasm]

I'm fine up until halford with her touhou ahh movesets

[wind hazel]

musashi mlb? ijn gear?

[sharp echo]

done
i can finally wear shinano bnuy skin

[honest stirrup]

If I was you I'd swap Baltimore for something else (CL or DD), but even as it is it shouldn't really struggle against ESP assuming everyone is mlb
So it's probably just a gear issue

[onyx chasm]

Yh she's MLB

[wind hazel]

vanguard dying?

[onyx chasm]

Yep

[wind hazel]

show port gear

[onyx chasm]

Alr

Best i could get her

[atomic abyss]

no evasion = death

same for the balti

[wind hazel]

remove the gold aux, give her steering wheel

[honest stirrup]

That's two HP gears, swap one of them for EVA gear (sterring, hydraulic)

[sharp echo]

does this mean if i want big dmg i only battle for first and second battle?

[onyx chasm]

This one?

[wind hazel]

ye

+10 toolkit, +7 steering if you can

now show musashi unicorn and sara gear

[last zenith]

musashi gear?

[worldly cairn]

when is new next UR banner?

[honest stirrup]

That barrage doesn't matter much tbh

[last zenith]

no idea whatsoever

[last zenith]

oh no.. grinddddd

[atomic abyss]

around CN anni based on prev years
so late may

[wind hazel]

saratoga gear needs fixing

[sharp echo]

i mean the bonus avi

[wind hazel]

give her a purple corsair/seafang/hellcat, whatever fighter you have.
then double helldiver

[worldly cairn]

EN and CN have different date anniversary?

[wind hazel]

+10 musashi's gun too

[atomic abyss]

EN is mid august

[onyx chasm]

Which

[wind hazel]

the main gun, twin 410

[honest stirrup]

It's a bonus. Shinano is decent enough to work without that

[worldly cairn]

kinda forgot last year, but did they give oath ring every anniv?

[onyx chasm]

Done

[atomic abyss]

every EN anni we get one yes

[wind hazel]

ok go try again if still fail then just manual dodge the bullet hell

[last zenith]

last time it was two right

[onyx chasm]

Alr

[last zenith]

lmfao

[sharp echo]

sooo is the strat for shinano consist of at least another 1 JPN CV and 1 any JPN ship?

[wind hazel]

also uh, remove the bulge. CV/L=double steam catapult or aviation tank, whatever give AVI

[worldly cairn]

Does chkalov fate sim + nakhimov will make stop debuff work? i dont have soyuz

[atomic abyss]

yes but not practical

[normal cedar]

if unicorn is the best healer in the game then what is perseus? shes in tier ex as well and ive been building her skills but i dont really know what her role is...

[atomic abyss]

the 2nd best

[worldly cairn]

hard to sync?

[last zenith]

she second

unicorn best

[late flame]

unicorn retrofitted is best healer yes

[atomic abyss]

yep
nakhi is very fast cos of her loadout
1 fighter 2 tb or 2 fighter 1 tb

chkalov is 2 db 1 tb iirc, so very slow

[normal cedar]

do we need 2 healers in late game?

[atomic abyss]

w15 yes

[wind hazel]

maybe

[last zenith]

late late game yes

[normal cedar]

oh ok, thanks got it

[worldly cairn]

in this chkalov faster

[wind hazel]

yes but fritz is out of sync

[atomic abyss]

i highly doubt you have 4 LA-9s and no soyuz at the same time

also that

[last zenith]

hmmm

[wind hazel]

do you have voroshilov or tashkent

[honest stirrup]

That looks extremely expensive though

[atomic abyss]

also the fact that chkalov dmg sucks compared to another UR CV

hence why tash and voro are preferred

[wind hazel]

or just implacable

[last zenith]

voro is goatd

[hollow lance]

How do i get these ive been trying to figure it out but cant figure it out

[paper walrus]

How do we choose ammo type in mob fleets where we dont need to target a boss armour type

[tame jungle]

play operation siren

[honest stirrup]

Opsi

[hollow lance]

Thanks

[honest stirrup]

where we dont need to target a boss armour type

Not sure what you mean by this

[tame jungle]

can just use one of the good HE guns or 457mm if you have it

[storm olive]

457mm unless the BB has specific gun requirements (e.g. musashi ijn guns)

[paper walrus]

🙏

[crisp geode]

Any reason why i can't buy Roon's blueprints?

[honest stirrup]

Get Roon to level 10

[honest stirrup]

As in, the level that every ships outside of PR have

[crisp geode]

aaaah, ok i get it

[honest stirrup]

That doesn't always help since the wording is just horrible

[crisp geode]

Yeah, i thought she needed dev lv 10

[honest stirrup]

Yes exactly. Can't really blame you for believing that

[normal cedar]

the hexagonal purple coin in opsi has no other use than the opsi store right

[honest stirrup]

Yeah

[honest stirrup]

But don't throw it in things like purple and blue gear materials, because they can be exchanged for vouchers during reset

[winged python]

So I'm a week in and it seems blue unit drop from stages are taking up my dock, is there a list of blue units I should keep or just feed them all?

[honest stirrup]

If you got all blue units of the newbie guide, maybe keep those who can retrofit and retire the rest

[winged python]

I'll double check guide, I'm still using an almost pure blue team so think I got those covered

Event missions can only be done on night, right?

[honest stirrup]

those who come into my mind are Pennsylvania, Portland and maybe 1 or 2 others

[honest stirrup]

Some quests require a specific time of the day, but otherwise you can stay at night for everything else

[winged python]

I'm running Laffey, Portland, Unicorn, Helena, Saratoga, and Pennsylvania

I can't do night yet XD

[honest stirrup]

Sounds good to me

[winged python]

Haven't finished Retrofitting Unicorn yet so can't switch Penn for Nelson

[honest stirrup]

Well they're level 90 so yeah.
Most of the important things can be done by doing dawn or even day, it will only take longer

[winged python]

Good to know

[honest stirrup]

I'm not sure what the guide says exactly but if you have enough bulins to max limit break Nelson, you might as well just replace now

[winged python]

It was someone's advice on here, didn't come from guide

Nelson is limit-broken, just not retrofitted

[honest stirrup]

Yeah if I was you I'd go ahead and replace now

[last zenith]

[winged python]

Sounds like a plan, any other units I should be on the watch for to replace ones I'm using?

Prinz Eugen, Franklin, U-37, and I-13 are my only golds so far, Charles Ausburne, Houston, Indianapolis, Yorktown, Glowworm, Javelin, Queen Elizabeth, Ark Royal, Erebus, Hiryuu, I-26, I-58, Z23, Chenhai, Surcouf are my purples. and Bolzano and Nevada META

[last zenith]

prinz eugen is good for early to early midgame. Only problem is she dont do enough damage

[sinful escarp]

tbh i wont recommend eugen

[atomic abyss]

franklin is the only one i would recommend in that list

[winged python]

Not in a rush to switch units, what I have is behaving well so far XD

[sinful escarp]

gold bullins are not that common and they should be used for other ships that will help mroe

[last zenith]

is franklin even good

[atomic abyss]

70% of a max potential enty is pretty good yes

[sinful escarp]

gold CV wise yes she is. compared to UR meh

[last zenith]

so shes eh

[atomic abyss]

she's no UR, but she's considered good by gold CV standards

"almost everything is eh" in the face of a UR

[sinful escarp]

since he is new, franklin will help a lot for him

[atomic abyss]

for a new player that shdnt be using URs tho

franklin is better than saratoga for quite a fair bit of time

[last zenith]

true

[atomic abyss]

since sara needs retro and aug to compete

[last zenith]

:9 too much

[winged python]

Is a 0 dupe Franklin still better than Sara? or needs bulins?

[tame jungle]

always needs bulins

[honest stirrup]

every ship needs bulins

[winged python]

Understood

[tame jungle]

lb0 vs lb3 is like crying baby vs hydrogen bomb

[winged python]

Gold Bulins being rarer I might stick to Sara for the time being

[sinful escarp]

from your fleet earlier you dont have anyone else worth it to use gold bullins on

[keen sable]

Unless you use 5 sr already 1 or 2 is good.

[keen sable]

If you're pushing for night though don't switch ships.

Although a mid big ben might be better than uni.

[winged python]

Wasn't Franklin replacing Sara?

[keen sable]

Levels are more important right now IF you are trying for night

Assuming sara is already like 80 or something

[winged python]

What kind of levels would be needed to tackle night?

[keen sable]

If she's L1 you can replace

[winged python]

Sara is L3 94

[keen sable]

91?

Yeah don't replace sara

[atomic abyss]

In that case stick with Sara yeah

[winged python]

If I have the levels but still having trouble it's probably a gear issue, right?

[undone plover]

maybe
early on that is a good guess
could also be your comp is bad at doing what it needs to do

[tawdry halo]

Hello chat, is Nelson's Pennant of Victory worth to grind

I already have Rodney and I just need a clear answer of yes or no

[undone plover]

early on it is good to get for any BB since it is like a discount shell
also specifically for nelson it helps her reach 100% barrage proc rate so sure
it is not that hard to get anyway

[tawdry halo]

zamn, time to put Rodney on standby

[undone plover]

if u have other priority for your elite bulins u can get it later

[hoary relic]

[tawdry halo]

Should I be getting myself a proper submarine fleet yet, I'm already entering W8

[atomic abyss]

no

[hoary relic]

u dont need sub at w12 either

[tawdry halo]

my main formation

[undone plover]

no
get 1 sub for now so u can do the weekly sub raid for torpedo blueprints

[undone plover]

that is a proper fleet
where is it struggling?

[hoary relic]

there isnt coins up for pr7 right?

[tawdry halo]

uh, OpSi

[undone plover]

not yet no
coin up is up to PR5 and DR4

[tawdry halo]

cant really get through corrosion lv3

[hoary relic]

dang sound not good at all for newbies like me

[undone plover]

around level 100 is fine for opsi story I think
probably u need adaptive tuning if anything
if not u can just heal at port when u die

[undone plover]

well pr4 has amazing ships so it is not all bad

[hoary relic]

u dont really need to focus in OpSi rn

[tawdry halo]

already done with all (newbie) stories, everything around is corrosion

[hoary relic]

ye ik im trying to unlock ancho

as i alr finished catch up her

[undone plover]

how much is your tuning?

I mean this part

[tawdry halo]

lemme ss

[undone plover]

also how can u finish opsi story but struggle with C3
are u sure you finished opsi story?
or is it asking you to do more?

it could also be gear issue tbh
no harm in showing gear

[hoary relic]

ah lol

[tawdry halo]

I'm not cooking so much I think

[undone plover]

the thing is coin up is only for older seasons
everyone did pr7 with focus not coin up
u could also do that right now
but ofc early on picking proper researches is hard cuz it needs a lot of gold

anyway research and shipyard is a marathon so just take it easy

[tawdry halo]

alr gonna show my gears, gimme a sec

[undone plover]

that explains it
that "I" means u should only do up to c1

[hoary relic]

check this link for more information(https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Operation_Siren)

i'd say that it is really hard for under lv100 fleet

[tawdry halo]

Gears

[undone plover]

the story is the red exclamation on map btw
follow that for now and u shouldnt have any issue

[hoary relic]

if u want to get materials and gold plates to craft and upgrade

[undone plover]

gear looks fine
upgrade stuff to +6 at least
give sandy torpedo to z23

[hoary relic]

it took me 4 months to be able to beat abyssal lv6 in 2-3 turns

[tawdry halo]

alr

[hoary relic]

but only in case that abyssal defender doesnt have healing perk

i hate that perk bruh

[undone plover]

nelson gun should go to +10
also unicorn and enty planes
enty 3rd plane should be changed to tenzan/barracuda

[undone plover]

yeah it is pretty annoying perk for newbies to deal with

[forest palm]

Nelson should use the purple shell instead of an SGR, and Portland would do better with 1 toolkit

[hoary relic]

that shell only can be obtained from t4 and t3 sakura box right?

[tawdry halo]

I was told to give Portland the camo and and steering

[hoary relic]

but yes i'd recommend buying some pairs of shells from data shop

[tawdry halo]

and I dont have purple shell

[forest palm]

that's a weird recommendation

[hoary relic]

fr

[tawdry halo]

I'm saving up for the white shell thing in core

[hoary relic]

didnt the event give u 700 coredata?

[tawdry halo]

didnt even grind the event

[hoary relic]

grind it bruh

[tawdry halo]

I'm confused about the hospital event thing

[hoary relic]

[tawdry halo]

Other alternatives for Nelson

[undone plover]

yeah the event is easy
dont ignore it

[hoary relic]

grind the event for 700 datacore

and the tech box if possible

[tawdry halo]

Am I cooked, that's 26k

[undone plover]

best would be if u can get rodney and MLB her for nelson's special aux

[tawdry halo]

already got Rodney, the problem is her levelling

[undone plover]

here

[tawdry halo]

but I already unlocked the Lectures so that shouldnt be a big problem

[undone plover]

yeah that is good then

[tawdry halo]

so replace PoV for the SG Radar right?

and keep the Fire Control Radar?

[undone plover]

sure

purple/gold rarity white shell is best tho when u get it
with the PoV

[tawdry halo]

right

[hoary relic]

uh should i craft 10rai first or twin 457mm?

[undone plover]

how many of each u have?
do you have any left to get in protoshop?
which season are u focusing?

[hoary relic]

i only need 7 more t2 rp for them and those bp in protoshop is too expensive for me

[undone plover]

so u have 0 copy of each?
and u didnt get any in protoshop?

[hoary relic]

yep

[undone plover]

what about season focus in academy?

[hoary relic]

doing pr5 right now for plymouth gun

[undone plover]

ideally this is what I would do:
get 1 tenrai from prototype shop
get 1 457 from prototype shop
get 1 tenrai from gear lab
hold resources after that

[hoary relic]

🤔 mhm

[undone plover]

protocore is easy to get if u analyze CDC packs and excess BP
especially if u use catchup in a smart way

[onyx chasm]

Wdym

[hoary relic]

i spent some series 1 combat data pack for BF109G and champy gun eh

i have 390 left

[undone plover]

that is very good
u should still get more protocore easily from the other cdc packs u will get from finishing the other rookie missions

also do you have pr1-3 catchup left or have u used them?
the 300 + 150 free blueprints u get from each season

[onyx chasm]

I MADE IT

[hoary relic]

i used roon's catch up to get her to dev 30

[undone plover]

that is okay
who has catchup left? in season 1-3?

[hoary relic]

both PR and DR in season 2-3

im doing catch up for haku

[undone plover]

that is good

[hoary relic]

almost finished

[undone plover]

who are u researching now? any ship?

[hoary relic]

uh no i stopped that untill i unlock ancho

[lethal bolt]

wanna ask, should i keep pushing campain as beginner even if my ships's morale is low or should i wait for them to replenish their morale?

[hoary relic]

yes u should wait to replenish their morale

[normal cedar]

how do I get tech points to get anchorage? I dont know what to develop after saint louis
I can't do neptune or roon or any non eagle ship cause my vanguard is full eagle- portland, laffey, helena...

[hoary relic]

mlb, unlock new ships from eagle union, lv up EU ships to lv120

[undone plover]

ok so u want to do anchorage/agir/FdG
then u can start coining them
when u finish them u will have some time to develop a pr2 and pr3 ship
for example u can do gascogne and odin (just examples)
then when u are done with coining anchorage (should be done easily if u use catchup on her) go and coin gascogne then odin
when gascogne is dev30 with coin, use pr2 catchup on her
then analyze the blueprints u will get
that is 1500 + 1500 protocore u can get easily

[normal cedar]

does 120 give tech points too?

[hoary relic]

yes

[tawdry halo]

yea I'm screwed, I ran out of oil

aint gonna finish the event in just tomorrow

💔

[hoary relic]

did u get to w9?

finish w9 and u will have oil cap for events making it only cost 25 oils for lv90 stage in the event

[tawdry halo]

I only finished 8-2
extra screwed

[hot oriole]

Oil is full
Time to engage

[hoary relic]

mine too but im waiting my shipgirls' morale replenished

[undone plover]

there is today, tomorrow and Wed left
check and claim the weekly pack if u havent as well

[hoary relic]

but i'd still recommend to finish w9 first for oil cap, no needed to be 3stars right?

[undone plover]

well the issue is they might be locked from ch9 due to commander level

[hoary relic]

ah booo

[undone plover]

but if that happens best to go to war archive and farm divergent chessboard

[rapid grail]

quick question, drs cost like 510 prints for dev30?

[undone plover]

513

[atomic abyss]

/devbp

[odd root]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/460648604974055424/885529968455598170/unknown.png

[rapid grail]

Aight, I'm 4/5 on the way on the JP alt, ty

[hoary relic]

anyways i almost got NJ but it is near bis2 banner now

[thorny plume]

In terms of tanking is agir and Anchorage better then roon u?

[hoary relic]

so should i mlb bis2 first or NJ

[hoary relic]

agir and ancho surely better than roon

ancho's hp may not as high as roon but her buffs for EVA surely better

[undone plover]

roon muse is portland level
anchorage/agir are top tier tanks
the best in the game

[hot oriole]

Hm

What is oil cap exactly?

[undone plover]

also roon muse not rly worth to get anyway but if u got her already then u can use her i suppose

[hoary relic]

this

[undone plover]

limit on oil consuption
even if fleet costs 70 per battle oil cap means they cost 25 or w.e the limit is

[hot oriole]

Oh no:(

[undone plover]

basically it means u burn less oil which means u can sortie much more
2-3 times more efficient most of the time

[hot oriole]

I can smell the opportunities it will bring back

[hoary relic]

it sure does when u have 6 DR/UR ships in ur fleet

[normal cedar]

does the event esp decrease morale? if ship sinks?

[hoary relic]

only OpSi doesnt decrease ships' morale while others do

[normal cedar]

oh ok, thanks! , maybe I confused it with some other game then..

[hoary relic]

btw can we solo w13 with 1 fleet?

[honest stirrup]

You don't really need to worry about Ancho's survivability, most of it comes from the skill so it might not be obvious but she's one of the best

[hoary relic]

yup, that's why she is recommed to prioritize first for newbies

[honest stirrup]

With what context? 0 stars 100% lethal or 0% lethality?

[hoary relic]

0 star 100% lethal

[honest stirrup]

Surely not, then

[hoary relic]

[honest stirrup]

Wait no

surely you can, a fleet in 15-4 can do 6 mobs AND 1 or 2 bosses without flinching much

So yeah you probably can, I didn't think much and was probably biased by my chap14 experience

[hoary relic]

anyways, i almost got NJ in permanent banner but it is close to bis zwei rerun so who should i mlb first?

[hollow gust]

Save your bulins

[hot oriole]

😭

My lovely NJ

[eternal basalt]

Prob. The new CN UR(s)

[onyx chasm]

Anyone got tips for this?

[hoary relic]

dont farm esp

farm lv90 stage instead

[worthy iris]

Not sure this right place, apologize.
I hear there "migrate"?
And tomorrow 8 April going lose account?

[tame jungle]

what if he still needs to clear

[hoary relic]

if it for the notes, yes. For points, no

[onyx chasm]

It's for story

[hidden gazelle]

Is this a good formation?

[tame jungle]

no

[hidden gazelle]

😦

[hoary relic]

u need to clear it only or for the note?

[hoary relic]

ah boo

[onyx chasm]

I can pass normal ESP just barely

[hoary relic]

ur fleet aint all lv120?

[hidden gazelle]

Why isnt it good? Theze are my only super rare I got and somehow got queen elizabeth and I though why not

[onyx chasm]

Nah

[hoary relic]

oh bruh this is kinda tough, really

ur helena isnt retrofitted yet

[onyx chasm]

I was also retrofitting sandy

[hoary relic]

only if u have her retro item

which cost 2k spec core

[tame jungle]

just use a strong comp (duh)
bosses will be Eagle, Franklin, Halford, 2x medium and 1x light so HE should do fine
do you have an alternative for helena/baltimore? feel like they're not really doing all that much in this stage

[hoary relic]

ngl that non-retro helena barely does any dmg

[tame jungle]

that retro helena also barely does any damage in the grand scheme of things, and this fleet doesn't even make use of the buff

[hoary relic]

yes we use helena for debuffs not dealing dmg

[onyx chasm]

Only got these options so far

[tame jungle]

can use friedrich carl provided you can get her a couple more levels

[onyx chasm]

Was using her before tbh

[tame jungle]

yeah she's level 90 of course she's going to get owned

[onyx chasm]

I mean I doubt I can get her high enough in time

[tame jungle]

you still got like 3 days

[tame jungle]

also can use enterprise instead of non-retrofit sara

[onyx chasm]

Hm

I might add her to dorm but I'll lose more exp overall

[tame jungle]

Use the Ship

[onyx chasm]

I meant to say port

[tame jungle]

Use the ship = get xp

[onyx chasm]

Well not if I die

[tame jungle]

then do campaign

or anything that has an oil cap

[onyx chasm]

Plus I doubt I even have the right gear

Yep

[honest stirrup]

Get levels on campaign stages

There's low chances you ever get through by luck if you combine bad gears, low levels AND unoptimal composition

[onyx chasm]

I mean this is my formation

Plus I'm trying to sort out gears for each character

[hoary relic]

the main problem with ur fleet is its lv when u didnt really focus on 1 fleet only to grind lv first

ngl that i only start to use sandy after retro helena, laffey as my first DD, portland and get them to lv 120

[onyx chasm]

At what point do i wanna be at to start farming levels

Also I think I need better gear but opening boxes isn't efficien

[novel solstice]

Farming levels gets much more efficient starting at 9-1

[onyx chasm]

Alr

Then what do I do about gear

[soft raft]

Very scuffed

1. You wasted time farming 3-4 for Akagi and Kaga
2. You have way too many SRs for a new player to be using in your fleet
3. Basically everyone there is mid af except maybe Eugen

Give this a read asap https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[sweet delta]

I mean you just need to play the game

4 days and your primary ships have not gained a single level

[onyx chasm]

Who me?

Well mainly cuz I focused on completing all of the other stages and stuff for the story and they have definitely gained levels

Plus I went from chapter 5 to 8 in the mean time so yh

[sweet delta]

Your Portland is level 106 now and was 106 four days ago and 104 twenty days ago. The past two weeks could have been spent farming any event night stage like T4, it's poor exp but at least better than chapter 8. And quite hands free to do 15 runs without capping dock space

[hoary relic]

what is the exp cap after our ship get to lv125

[hidden gazelle]

Ty for the guide. Imma read it carefully

[novel solstice]

They can pick up 3 million XP past lvl 125.

[onyx chasm]

I have been doing that... Plus I spent my time putting sandy and carl in the dorm since my other options were terrible

[hoary relic]

anyways to convert that 3m exp?

[tame jungle]

no

[hoary relic]

dang it

[novel solstice]

When the level cap next rises, it will get your ships most of the way to level 126, that's the only point of it.

[eager mulch]

we’re getting a level cap increase?

[tame jungle]

no

[hoary relic]

but the question is will we have lv130 cap?

[tame jungle]

who knows

[hoary relic]

[eager mulch]

not me

[viscid swift]

we aren't exactly mind readers or fortune tellers

[tame jungle]

i am a mind reader, i'm just not very good at it

[viscid swift]

I do think it needs to be reiterated, there are no leaks in AL

all the information we get is from official and public sources

if they have not said anything there then we it's not something we're gonna know

[sweet delta]

/leeks

[novel solstice]

No clue. They could raise the cap to 130 at some point. Or they could decide that 125 is enough and leave us there indefinitely. Or they could introduce another leveling scheme, similar to how you limit break with bulins and then suddenly you limit break with cog chips, so that lvl 125s don't go to level 126 but instead start some alternative-advancement track where they get a different kind of XP and start accumulating "legendary levels" or something for no good reason.

They are really opaque with their future plans.

[zenith pebble]

By that point i feel like they’ll be adding another chapter in

W15 seems like hell already, imaging w16 lmao

[frank pulsar]

w15 isnt difficult with sufficient preparation

[zenith pebble]

Once the ship is released, the devs dont change their stats right?

[turbid marsh]

normally yeah. unless your name is birmingham/perceus

[marble wind]

When is the next event?

[viscid swift]

we don't know

[marble wind]

Ty

[eager mulch]

read my mind

[turbid marsh]

you want to see what they can read from your mind.

[wind hazel]

your mind:

amagi-chan

[hoary relic]

dont mind me, just drinking

[zenith pebble]

Russian cheers

[fathom relic]

Is there anyway to reset Meta fight like Opsi fight?

[stark quiver]

close and reopen game

[tropic tusk]

did the game start with all those country? or did they add some of them later on?

[atomic abyss]

game started with the main 4 + just avrora

[tropic tusk]

how long did they took to add the 5th and 6th?

[fathom relic]

Tks a lot

[atomic abyss]

both frenches came together
CN got it > 1 year after launch in Jul 2018, EN got it Jul 2019 since we were catching up

pastas came in sep 2019 for all servers

the other russians came in feb 2020

@tropic tusk

oh right, i think ping and ning were base game

yat came with the first CNY event

[hushed sorrel]

please stay at gameplay, if you discuss this now it adds up

[atomic abyss]

so
4 factions + ping + ning + avrora (may 2017)
yat + an shans (jan/feb 2018)
JB, Dunk and co (jul 2018)
Littorio, Zara and co (sep 2019)
Rossiya, tash and co (feb 2020)

[normal cedar]

was the concept of retrofits introduced later, or were there any from launch day itself?
is there any timeline for new retrofits?

[atomic abyss]

EN had like, 4 retros at launch
starters came about 3 mths in

[soft raft]

Nowadays retrofits are pretty rare, mainly only for Anniv events these days

[atomic abyss]

if you want details, just look thru the patch notes on the wiki

[viscid swift]

we pretty only get new retros 4 times a year now

LNY, CN Anni, JP Anni, and EN Anni

[atomic abyss]

first retros was jul 2017 it seems
so no is the answer for CN

yes for JP and EN

[tropic tusk]

so no more hope for new countryes

[viscid swift]

who knows

[wheat ore]

what is that navi game mode? Does it do anything in the actual game?

or is a side thing?

[atomic abyss]

side thing

[wheat ore]

what happens after I complete it?

[soft raft]

Nothing much really

It's completely optional content that isn't required to help you progress the game

[wheat ore]

is she actually a playable ship in the game? like what are the skins used for

[undone plover]

u get her as a secretary option for a special slot

[wheat ore]

oh

[undone plover]

she has different skins depending on the endings u get

[wheat ore]

ah okay i see

with the different secretary, do they only rotate when you log in again?

[undone plover]

i think pretty much going to any screen and coming back to home rotates through them

or maybe after a battle or certain screens? not sure tbh

[wheat ore]

ah okay yeah i think that makes sense

[thorny plume]

@hoary relic @rugged ivy ty for the knowledge. Is one better for mob then other. Currently farming 12-4. With opi siren being challenging content with the sirens coord 5 (can beat after killing a mob and healing) and 6 depends on modifers

[wheat ore]

some secretary have a different background, is that tied to the skin? or can you mix and match them seperately?

[thorny plume]

Is st. Louis aug worth the craft if I already have hood and sandys

[atomic abyss]

if you're using her, yes

[atomic abyss]

skin

[undone plover]

btw u can also switch between them manually with this arrow

[thorny plume]

Ty

[wheat ore]

oh i see ty

[wheat ore]

can you manually put on the idle screen saver thing?

[tulip zenith]

How many rainbow cores do u get from weekly missions

[shell willow]

no but you can lower idle time needed to trigger it to 1 minute

[wheat ore]

ah damn, I already have it on 1 minute i think. I just think the idle screen looks nice

[shell willow]

500

[novel solstice]

Or zero if you've maxed out the number you can earn each month.

[sacred dragon]

As a new player i just reached lv 30 which unlocks the research academy and shipyard.
I read the guide - https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/research#fleet_technology
But i have no idea which ship to select or which tasks to focus on. Is there a video to follow for general guidelines on what to do?

[keen sable]

Whichever one you can do. Usually Saint louis

[atomic abyss]

as a new player, you're probably using portland and helena
so saint louis since she's easy to grind for

[sacred dragon]

but the guide says to not research PR1,2,3,4?

[keen sable]

Set focus to season 7. Absolutely no catchup. Say goodbye to your coins (and parts.)

[ivory pawn]

They’re talking about Shipyard.

[keen sable]

Develop is not focus

[atomic abyss]

it says not to set focus on series 1-4

develop the ships from there

[sacred dragon]

for shipyard everying is locked currently

[atomic abyss]

even saint louis?

[sacred dragon]

yeah

[atomic abyss]

then ignore research for now

[keen sable]

It wants you to play more

[ivory pawn]

Ignore Shipyard, I wouldn’t ignore Research even if you have to take the garbage free options.

[sacred dragon]

for research i have to select a character too?

[keen sable]

Develop is not focus is not catchup is not research. 4 separate things.

[ivory pawn]

Speaking of Research projects, you want to look for Riggings, Grant Donations, and ones with ship pictures, but if you can’t afford them just grab the fastest free option. Ideally one with a condition to fulfill.

[zenith pebble]

Pr/dr focus from research project gives prints right?

[sacred dragon]

Riggings, Grant Donations what does this mean?

[keen sable]

Focus forces at least 3 of 5 research projects to be from the focus series. It also prevents s1-4 from appearing.

[sacred dragon]

right now i got this if that helps anything

[keen sable]

The name at the top...

[sacred dragon]

omg

[tame glacier]

does anyone know how to get a specific caracters afinity up?

[normal cedar]

what are we supposed to get in the protoshop? Ive been analyzing all my data so far

[sacred dragon]

I was looking at awards

[viscid swift]

use them in battle

[tulip zenith]

thx

[tame glacier]

i have but its going REALY Damm slowly

[keen sable]

Use don't abuse them

[inland shoal]

Up to 90 first secretary slot also works
But if you call battle slow already this will be even slower

[viscid swift]

yeah, that's the affinity grind for you

[tame glacier]

i have a way to grind and grind

she in my dorm

[keen sable]

#bot-spam /protocore

[keen sable]

Dorm is like 25 sorties per hour or less then 2 affinity per hour of constant sortie.

[normal cedar]

so idk really know about ap guns but will champy gun be good for my lvl 112 pennsylvania? I have the white gold ap shell on her and will get the black gold shell soon too

prototype triple 406mm i mean, shes in fleet with enty and unicorn

[atomic abyss]

strong gun, but irrelevant at the moment for you

[strong tartan]

very good ap gun but I wouldn't use it in your situation

[atomic abyss]

you want your regular, HE 406mk6 to push campaign

[keen sable]

Use the right gear for the enemies you want to kill.

Oh and based on title, no

[normal cedar]

ok, thanks! I will continue using the 406mk6 then

[keen sable]

Have fun trying to kill rem and ram with champy

[tulip zenith]

whos rem and ram

[tame jungle]

prolly inazuma and ikazuchi (bosses for 8-1 and 8-2)

[atomic abyss]

inazuma and ikazuchi ye

[tame jungle]

hair color meme that references re:zero

[forest palm]

not Re:Zero....it's just Red Oni, Blue Oni rather old story troupe

[stark quiver]

new gens

[forest palm]

of which is not relevant to this channel

[spring delta]

Quick question whos spits more damage Odin or Prinz Rupprecht against medium enemies?

[cobalt rapids]

ruppy

[spring delta]

Gotchu ty!!

[tame glacier]

forgot to say thx hehe~

[hazy kiln]

Best option here?

[inland shoal]

Ju-87 D-4 is a good choice I suppose

[hazy kiln]

If that helps

[zenith pebble]

So if i do focus 4, I’ll be getting gear from research 4

[hazy kiln]

Would the skypirate be better for auto. I don't really have any stuns/manual for non homing

[stark quiver]

skypirate istn good

[inland shoal]

Nah the Skyraider is pointless

Eh Skypirate lol

Can't even spell the name of non top tier gear

[hazy kiln]

Ah, just going of the guide. Said 3rd best parallel but the Ju-87 is highlighted red

[inland shoal]

Yeah it's just that the better parallels are pretty accessible while D-4 is kinda hard to come by for now

[hazy kiln]

Ok. D-4 it is. Ty

[sweet delta]

[keen sable]

i wouldnt get the skyraider from that box either

[sweet delta]

Ruppy against all enemies

[jaunty vault]

i woudl

[spare cave]

For the newcomer missions, I need a pr3 ship. What's the most interesting right now ? I will use my xp cards to speed it up anyways

[inland shoal]

I'll woudl you

[cobalt rapids]

dont use xp cards to speed it up
chesh or odin(for tech)

[inland shoal]

Why do you need a PR3 ship? You shouldn't use xp cards to speed up the exp grind

You can convert cdc packs to protocore which is a lot more worthwhile

[jaunty vault]

the rookie missions 😀

[spare cave]

This one, and I'm a casual player. Grinding takes me months so yeah I will use XP cards I'm afraid

[jaunty vault]

dont be afraid

[honest stirrup]

None of them really matter that much outside of a few tech so I advise to just go for whatever's the easiest to grind

[cobalt rapids]

if grinding takes months then u need the xp packs to protocore more than u need 30 DR prints from season 3

[stark quiver]

if you wanna sacrafice getting good gear then go ahead

[spare cave]

Yeah but I don't want to grind, it will take me at least multiple weeks while I could just skip it for cards

[honest stirrup]

Grinding exp might "take months" (which btw shouldn't really be the case)

But grinding gears will take you more

[inland shoal]

Don't they all work with PR4 too?

[spare cave]

You can convert the cards for gear ?

[viscid swift]

What are you even gonna do with 30 Dr prints

[cobalt rapids]

datapacks > protocore > gear

[viscid swift]

Not like that does much of anything

[inland shoal]

Ah no ig I've been mislead and you do it once for each season

[jaunty vault]

i remember there being missions specifically asking for a specific season ship

[spare cave]

Yup up until pr6

[stark quiver]

i use packs on felix
but that doesnt mean you should

[honest stirrup]

Yes but Belfast right above made a really good point

Why are you so much in a hurry to finish these missions

You might as well take a few "months" to finish them and it wouldn't change anything since you don't even have a DR

[viscid swift]

All I can say is, even without min maxing to the extreme farming w12 with 3 eligible ships for the mob fleet takes mo more than a few days to do the grind

[spare cave]

Cuz I want to get to PR4 but yeah maybe I shouldn't be in a hurry

[stark quiver]

those packs can be turned to protocore and be exchanged for good UR gear, if youre fine with sacking that for a bad ship then sure

[spare cave]

Ok I see it

[cobalt rapids]

u dont have to do seasons in order

[honest stirrup]

If you had a normal path, Anchorage would be your first PR and you should have no DR yet, so again, even if you get to PR4 missions the same questions applies

[spare cave]

Yeah but for the missions I need to

[cobalt rapids]

but missions are just more datapacks

[stark quiver]

you can do the missions later on, they arent going anywhere

[viscid swift]

They probably want the data packs to unlock someone from pr4

[honest stirrup]

"for the missions"
Missions that you don't need 😭

[spare cave]

(I didn't really did in order I got Brest saint louis and Bayard cuz french girls >>>

[viscid swift]

Casual or not, grinding out those xp missions isn't difficult or all that time consuming

[cobalt rapids]

do u have access to w12 ?

[spare cave]

What's W12 ? If that's the campaign I've gotten to chapter 11

[viscid swift]

Chapter 12 of the main campaign

[cobalt rapids]

chapter 12
thats gonna be ur first prio then

[spare cave]

But I could go beyond that easily

[honest stirrup]

Go for 12-4 if you can

[cobalt rapids]

12-1 has the best reward/time/difficulty ratio

[viscid swift]

People sleeping on 12-1 smh

[honest stirrup]

Or 12-1 I guess, my recommendation was based on the fact that as new players the main scary factor in grinding was mood more than time itself

[stark quiver]

my ships die in 12-1

[viscid swift]

Massive skill issue

[stark quiver]

lb0 gang

[cobalt rapids]

try using less than 3 bm

[viscid swift]

Even I wasn't crazy enough to do that

[onyx chasm]

I finally made it... Apparently this is the point where farming becomes more efficient? Where do I wanna get to to reach max efficiency

[atomic abyss]

12-1

[viscid swift]

Chapter 12

[stark quiver]

nevadaM arkM and ark
2 of them are 0lb

[cobalt rapids]

ch12 but this is a good starting to point to build a 2nd fleet or at least rotate other ships in ur mob to start lvling

[spare cave]

Ok ok thx guys. Btw what gear should I prioritise in the shop aside from the quad ur cl gun that I've gotten through projects ?

[cobalt rapids]

/protocore

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/Prototype_Core_Priority.jpeg

[viscid swift]

Have you considered trying to level some other ships while you wait for MLB

[onyx chasm]

Yh idk If I'll be able to get there before the event ends since my goal is to level my main ships (mob fleet) to a high enough level to where I can do ESP with the added difficulties for story

Is there perhaps a stop gap between 9-1 and 12-1 where I can farm a decent amount of levels?

[spare cave]

And I was aiming for haku ? Is a haku-amagiCV-shinano fleet good ?

[cobalt rapids]

w9 is the stop gap and to a certain degree w11

[stark quiver]

no

[honest stirrup]

I tried doing that, but Haku isn't too relevant compared to the Amagi-Shinano couple so there's better options

[onyx chasm]

w9?

[cobalt rapids]

chapter/world 9

[onyx chasm]

Ah ok

[spare cave]

Ok. My real next objective is kearsarge so I can go Franklin Yorktown 2 and her but I need 100 more eu tech points

[supple ember]

so is it normal to have to redo the same mission 3 times just to get it to 3 stars and unlock the next???

[onyx chasm]

The 3 stars I believe is just for being able to repeat sortie

[atomic abyss]

pointless because you wont be able to dev 30 her really...

[sweet delta]

Stars and 100% are independent

[spare cave]

Why ?

[honest stirrup]

It's not 3 stars but 100%

[sweet delta]

100% unlocks the next map

[atomic abyss]

the dev 30-ing for kears would take, probably 4 months

[onyx chasm]

Just get the clear (100%) for the rewards

[atomic abyss]

since there's no way to buy her BPs with coins

[soft raft]

Getting her to D30

[atomic abyss]

and kears before dev 30 is horrible

[soft raft]

otherwise shes's missing a huge chunk of her kit like a 0LB ship would

[spare cave]

Then who should I go for in dr ? Agir or Hindenburg maybe ?

[supple ember]

ok so it still takes 3 tries just to 100% a mission?

[sweet delta]

Depends on the stage. Later chapters can take up to 6 clears

[atomic abyss]

agir for sure
i'd still get haku anyways
you want more than 1 UR CV fleet anyways

even if you wont use amagi shinano haku together

[honest stirrup]

It's quite worrying you're going after comps that are advised to the very late stage players who already have every ship and wants to improve their already good performance
Which, I don't want to be mean, but isn't your case

Just start off simple

[viscid swift]

Depends on the stage but yes the number of runs needed is fixed and predetermined

[supple ember]

thats just ridiculous tbh

why yostar why

[spare cave]

Yeah but I have a few ur CVS anyways although not fully leveled or lb

[sweet delta]

Go complain in #game-feedback tbh

[supple ember]

im sure im not the first and im sure theyre aware and dont care lol

[sweet delta]

I'm sure we don't care either

[viscid swift]

Okay, go complain somewhere else either way

[spare cave]

Yeah I'm just like heh these ships seems good especially when runned together so I will go after them you know

[soft raft]

pretty sure they've actually reduced the clear #s before
tho either way yeah this isnt the place to whine about something you dont like

[cobalt rapids]

i advise against using ships that dont have their full stars

[viscid swift]

No non MLB UR is good

[spare cave]

Ik but recently I've been getting more URs than bulins soooo

[viscid swift]

So bench them and don't use them

[spare cave]

And I mean I'm not doing chapter 13 or things like that so I'm doing ok rn

[cobalt rapids]

they can sit on the bench or on the secretary chair

[sweet delta]

So either farm more or choose who to use

[honest stirrup]

Even if you feel like you have a lot of bulins, it's rarely true. They can get consumed really fast

[spare cave]

Yeah that's what I've been saying so

[honest stirrup]

What I mean is, don't focus on UR too much

[spare cave]

Ok then

[cobalt gate]

quick question is there anything i can use to quickly calculate the damage difference between using a gun that is +13 vs another gun + 10

[cobalt rapids]

larscalculator

[spare cave]

I've been using this as my main mob fleet. Planing to replace Guichen and saint louis with Bayard and Brest

[viscid swift]

Yeah don't

[spare cave]

Don't what ?

[viscid swift]

Don't do what you said you'd do

[cobalt rapids]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/

[honest stirrup]

Not sure why your Guichen is in front of Saint Louis

[spare cave]

Because I'm bad like mj says

I guess you're already guessed that from the number of mistakes I already said or did but yeah lol

[honest stirrup]

No but like... just switch them?

[spare cave]

Yeah I'll do this thx

[cobalt gate]

@cobalt rapids so how do i see damage?

[cobalt gate]

thanks

[onyx chasm]

Do higher stages in hard mode increase the chances of getting T3 Retro's

[onyx chasm]

How do I find a fleet code?

Nvm

[wide obsidian]

Besides Shimakaze and Eldridge any other ships I should level for w14?

[cobalt gate]

so the issue i'm having seems to be the 4th shot doesn't complete before battle ends for jin meta, is there a calc to see how much reload is needed for full shot

[onyx chasm]

Got any tips on getting good gear for my main fleet?

[cobalt rapids]

most good gear comes from opsi/gearlab and research

its a process that takes time so just do them diligently

[onyx chasm]

Yh cuz I'm trying to get some better stuff for ESP

[cobalt rapids]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment look for the poverty options here
theyll do for the time being

[cobalt gate]

quick question does using the calculator and setting it to jin meta take into account her self debuff?

[boreal wagon]

it does not

[cobalt gate]

does it calculate the 4%dmg increase from the elite aviation?

[boreal wagon]

yes, you can get a rough summary by clicking the dmg numbers

[waxen valley]

What are best things to get from these shops

[cobalt gate]

thanks, last thing i'm wondering, does it calculate the fact that not all salvos on the 4th strike will hit before time ends or its calculating as all 4th salvo will hit

[boreal wagon]

it assumes they will hit (with respect to hit rates if enabled/configured)

[atomic abyss]

3 pairs of black and white shells and independence

[waxen valley]

Thank you

[boreal wagon]

essentially dont expect them to be accurate damage numbers as the red text should already tell you when you click on them

they are very surface level and a mere guidelines for vacuum comparison

[cobalt gate]

hmm i guess maybe that inflates damage done. it turns out i need the rpg adventure interface to activate the reload buff for 2 salvo shots out of the 3, i'm not sure even 1 salvo shot hits is guarnteed before end

[boreal wagon]

well there is also the fact that basically none of the barrages (by default) are shown in calc which in turn defaltes your damage

[waxen valley]

The super heavy shell?

[vale spindle]

edps moment

[cobalt gate]

ugh i wish i could test more meta battles

[waxen valley]

Should I retrofit my San Diego

[cobalt gate]

too bad out of points

[vale spindle]

yes but its expensive

[waxen valley]

Should I do my San Diego or independence first

[waxen valley]

Rip

[vale spindle]

indep first but thats assuming u already have uni retro

[atomic abyss]

Type 1 first
Then super heavy

[waxen valley]

Uni?

[waxen valley]

Thank you

[woven star]

How activate two specs at same time?

[zenith pebble]

Why specifically 3?

[vale spindle]

[zenith pebble]

[vale spindle]

max 3 bbs per fleet

[waxen valley]

Oh yes yes

[zenith pebble]

Ah, opsi?

[vale spindle]

ye, u can gear swap freely

[cobalt gate]

@woven star what you mean?

[honest stirrup]

Buying more shells just for Opsi is more waste than anything

[woven star]

you compare two different guns at same time. How?

[waxen valley]

Who is best to use in out of these

[woven star]

That's what I got

[soft raft]

For what specific purpose?

[waxen valley]

Idk I want to build teams w best characters I got

[woven star]

Tank-Helena-Sirius... idk..too different main ships

[soft raft]

But for what fuckin content

Before you say "General use", that's not really a thing in this game

[stark quiver]

i see aquila

[waxen valley]

Campaign

[stark quiver]

what stage

[waxen valley]

Right now I’m 11-3

[stark quiver]

do you have any bbs

[waxen valley]

Yeah sorry I kinda sorted my shit stupid

I got too much stuff to send prob

It’s a mess

[stark quiver]

make thread and post dock

[woven star]

Make thread

And pls sort CVs and BBs on two different pictures

That's help a lot

[cobalt gate]

so does this calculate the time the launch hits or just launch time

[inland shoal]

Launch time

[cobalt gate]

so i would need to add 5 sec for actual time it hits right

[inland shoal]

I believe most hits after roughly 3s, but not entirely sure

[cobalt gate]

got it, also is plymouth doing that much damage only if all her bullets hit?

[stark quiver]

if hit rate says 100% yes

[undone plover]

physically hit and pass hit/evasion check

u can put hit rate in calc but physical hit rate hard to calculate
even tho I think she will land most of her shots

maybe 90%?
also calc doesnt account for all out assault and barrage

[sweet delta]

[stark quiver]

oh man...........

[zenith pebble]

Wut happened

[viscid swift]

it's an inside joke

[cobalt gate]

why does when i'm fighting i feel like fritz does more damage than kersage?

[vapid igloo]

is there any that i should prioritize leveling up / leveling talents

[stark quiver]

unicorn healing
and those fleets need a rework

[vapid igloo]

mm someone told me yesterday to use this for mob + boss

i only just hit 10-1 and i dont really know what im doing, its been a while

[stark quiver]

who?

[vapid igloo]

"i bought a skin"

[stark quiver]

cheeky
care to explain

[little tree]

Cheeky spreading misinformation

[stark quiver]

i highly doubt they said put unicorn and percy in the same fleet, let alone use perc at all
same goes for warspite

[little tree]

[vapid igloo]

i dunno i followed it not really sure what else im doing considering half my stuff isnt leveled up

[zenith pebble]

Maybe that’s for now?

[vapid igloo]

well ye id assme so, they just said keep working on the main

[little tree]

~~ I would drop war for hood personally if you can mlb hood~~

[zenith pebble]

Bird

[little tree]

Make sure to not retro warspite

[vapid igloo]

why not

[zenith pebble]

She not that good

[little tree]

She is terrible

[vapid igloo]

so dont finish this

[woven star]

And cats. Swap their place... oscar and bish are staff cats but yours on com slot@vapid igloo

[tame jungle]

just finish it at this point

[vapid igloo]

idk what cats do i just thought they're cute, but ok

[vapid igloo]

so are there any units i have that i should prioritize

[tame jungle]

idk

[undone plover]

dont treat the calc dps as gospel
it assumes alot of stuff that does not happen actually in the fight
and remember it has no barrage numbers

[zenith pebble]

There’s probably a ur event in May that you should save for

[vapid igloo]

terrible in general or terrible compared to more recent meta units

[tame jungle]

pretty sure cheeky only recommended those fleets so you can push to 12 anyway

[little tree]

She is worse then gold bb

[vapid igloo]

idk what that means

[vapid igloo]

😭

[little tree]

She was the first retro unit and fell off fast

[tame jungle]

none of that matters since they've retrofitted her anyway

[vapid igloo]

that was a long time ago as well

amazing im broke

[zenith pebble]

For now

[tame jungle]

ch12 soon

[vapid igloo]

am i supposed to be doing anything with gear

like should i open all of these?

[undone plover]

if u still need transitional gear then yes

[vapid igloo]

i dont have gear in general, most of it's not leveled or anything

and im assuming i need some for finishing some main stuff

[undone plover]

transitional gear is gear u will use for 1-2 months
after that you get end game gear from gear lab research and the different shops

[vapid igloo]

oh i def need that

[undone plover]

then open them

[vapid igloo]

so its ok to ignore operation siren right now

[tame jungle]

just get to ch12

[vapid igloo]

ok

[tame jungle]

ch12 is generally the spot where you can just chill at midgame to start raising other fleets

[woven star]

Yeah, there was some talk about persi and uni... I remember something like "if one heal good two will be better" ... or maybe that was another topic

[vapid igloo]

im kind of running out of space for these, should i just scrap them and open my crates

i think i saw somewhere saying you can upgrade some stuff bt i dont have any of the materials

[undone plover]

check this
scrap the useless stuff https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Thebombzen/Safe_To_Scrap_MK_II

[woven star]

Nvm. Idk what you have. Maybe it's a best gear

[undone plover]

probably gear lab stuff?
u need to start operation siren for that

[boreal wagon]

like i said before they ignore any and all forms of barrages and also does some minor assumptions, and you have hit rate set to assume 100% (which you can change in the settings)
the calculator will never be fully accurate but if you play with all of the settings it does give you it gives you a very rough idea

[vapid igloo]

should i craft this stuff as well i never touched it

[woven star]

Toolkit

Anything else purple?

[undone plover]

those torps are also good

[woven star]

Like magneto torp or catapult

[woven star]

Twin 120 - second picture
Triple 406 for BBs
Idk about Twin 150, Corsair and 533 triple torp.
Maybe someone else will help

[undone plover]

these are usable early on

[vapid igloo]

no worries its kind of a mess

[undone plover]

best would be to check sam's equip guide tbh

[vapid igloo]

wow ty

[undone plover]

dont forget these

[hoary relic]

[cobalt gate]

how long do meta battles last again?

[zenith pebble]

80 seconds?

[cobalt gate]

got it

[sharp comet]

whats the best way to aff farm on subs

[cobalt gate]

ugh how did i get 6 gold q in a row with not a single rainbow bp

[forest palm]

the same way you would for regular ships...that said could try with this event

[cobalt gate]

does anyone have the rainbow bp percentage for the gold q research

[quick mason]

Should I use yellow sg radar? Or anti torpedo

[forest palm]

neither use a Rudder

[keen sable]

neither and that gun is kind of sus also

[quick mason]

Poverty

[keen sable]

not on roon it isn't

[quick mason]

WHY DOUBT I JUST FOLLOW THE GUIDE

[forest palm]

what guide

[sharp comet]

if i use a single sub for world 12, does it use the oil of the single sub or the oil cap value for subs

[keen sable]

you missed this section on the bottom right

[quick mason]

Yeah I know but im still broke so what can I do?

[forest palm]

certainly could provide you only need to work on 1 sub

[quick mason]

So what auxillary should I use

[keen sable]

naval camo if you like the idea of your ships covered in body paint. steering gear also works

[ivory pawn]

Do you have a copy of the AP purple gun, or did you happen to get the gun from Blucher's event like a month or so ago?

[quick mason]

I guess I'll use the blue

[forest palm]

both blues are interchangable

[quick mason]

Wait what AP purple gun?

[ivory pawn]

Sorry if it's a bit low quality.

[quick mason]

None but im using yellow on my takao

Also this is only I have

[ivory pawn]

Just keep what you got for now then.

[quick mason]

Okay

Check out on my mogador

I still don't know how to build DDs so forgive my mogador

[viscid swift]

The AA radar is doing nothing

[keen sable]

where's her gun

[viscid swift]

Otherwise it's passable

[quick mason]

Owh what should I change

[viscid swift]

Another toolbox if nothing else

[vapid igloo]

whats special about uh world 12

[quick mason]

That's stack?

[vapid igloo]

a lotta people mentioning it does it just have better loot

[keen sable]

the mobs are kind of ridiculously easy

[vapid igloo]

compared to the ones before it?

[viscid swift]

It's very easy to farm and decently efficient

[keen sable]

yes

[quick mason]

The toolbox stacks?

[vapid igloo]

sounds wonderful i do like grinding

[viscid swift]

The skills no but stats yes

[quick mason]

Ohhh

Well what about the torpedo I just got it recently it's yellow

[eager mulch]

who’s ununiquename, what happened to uniquename

[quick mason]

Other than toolbox what about this?

Okay

[eager mulch]

just use toolbox

[ivory pawn]

Outside of very specific circumstances, your Vanguard's gear will be some combo of hp/evade gear. Toolbox happens to be the best easily accessible HP gear.

[viscid swift]

If she's not dying sure

[quick mason]

Check out my helena forgive me about this

[vapid igloo]

better than mine, at least you have skills leveled up a bit

[keen sable]

terrible main gun. not in the guide you know...

[quick mason]

It's not like I have any from the guide

[ivory pawn]

Haven't lucked into a Tbtsk yet I take it?

[keen sable]

considering you get a +6 tbtsk for free...

[quick mason]

Im not sure about this

[vapid igloo]

goodness gracious

[viscid swift]

you get a +6 one for free basically

[keen sable]

so you either scrapped it or you don't collect good rewards

i hope it's because you didn't collect the stage reward

[quick mason]

I probably scraped it man I don't know I only know how to build BBs

[keen sable]

gotta maintain that depot under 82 🤝

[vapid igloo]

stupid sexy burin

[ivory pawn]

I'm very concerned if you're scrapping purple guns when you barely have any golds to speak of.
Check out the Event screen, it might still be under there. Should be one with a bunch of rewards for clearing stages.

[quick mason]

Okay

[keen sable]

considering also that it's not too bad on bb i have a small tiny doubt

[quick mason]

Opening techbox

It's on the guide though

[keen sable]

helena is what's known as a weak barrage. might as well not have one kind of barrage

[quick mason]

What tbtsk looks like

[sharp comet]

is this updated?

[soft raft]

Read the category it's located in
And then the blurb for it itself

[blissful hamlet]

does buying gold mats in opsi still matters for endgame player?

[weary gust]

They're relatively time-gated, and the gold plates for +13 equipment especially you can never get too much of.

[sinful escarp]

especially those gold circuit boards

[vale spindle]

This page automatically updates

[weary gust]

Since you get the tokens to buy them out while doing general farming anyways for UR/Gold plates there's no reason to not buy out the shop.

[sharp comet]

[sinful escarp]

for me the only things i leave in the shop is the tuning things, repair kits, and energy storage

81 electronics for 1 of the new UR AA

[polar lion]

The gold plates even if u have thousands, they can vanish in a session of crafting and enhancing

[blissful hamlet]

this what I meant

[weary gust]

That is also what we meant.

[dreamy blade]

Imagine the players that just +13d 6 of the French rainbow AA guns right before the rat gun dropped

[sharp comet]

def not me..

[blissful hamlet]

rat gun is only slightly better than the french AA gun and only useful for the hit stats which won't increase even if you +13, realistically the AA difference won't be that significant

[polar lion]

Dang we rat gun now

[sharp comet]

i mainly want them for pvp

[soft raft]

I'm not familiar with PvP meta that much but last time I heard, carriers are barely relevant there

[blissful hamlet]

it's irelevant because of rat gun and laffey2

and the investment cost are just too great for the mid performance

[little tree]

Serenity spotted in gph

~~ get back to pvp ~~ 🧹

[wind hazel]

i bet you still get walled by foxwall

[little tree]

Nuh uh

[blissful hamlet]

only people with skill issue are walled by foxwall and I am a very skilled player

[viscid swift]

call me when you end of season

[rapid grail]

whoever introduces pvp shenanigans to gph should get punished

Get a life and do not ever play that gamemode (unless for merits for bulins)

[eager mulch]

no ships can equip two surface torps yet right

[viscid swift]

not that I know of

[vale spindle]

theres a lot of ships with trp+1 though

[eager mulch]

but there’s no ship with 10 quadruple torp launchers just yet

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/912786051179884614.gif?size=16

[bold surge]

Kitakami when

[keen sable]

some ships have 2 trp+!

[rapid grail]

is there even a point in using the Twin 134 AA over the RF UR AA and STAAG guns nowadays?

[viscid swift]

Yes

There are still situations where you want 15 fp over 15 hit

[lethal bolt]

would like to ask, is it worth doing event as beginner or focus pushing main campain?
currently having some dificulties clearing campain

[frank pulsar]

er
iirc event > campaign in prio

you can push campaign when there's no event

[eager mulch]

event is limited, campaign is forever

[zenith pebble]

for project identity, which path would be easier?

[sinful escarp]

everything is basically the same in there

just focus what you want her to do for the stat needed for the ending

[zenith pebble]

is there a guide

[stark quiver]

What does +13ing a AA gun like the 76 do

[crisp estuary]

Tf is a fox wall

[zenith pebble]

want me to test it out? ill probably be a bit

[sinful escarp]

there was a guide for it for TB, but its basically the same for oceana

though i dont know where it is linked

[crisp estuary]

Wait, is the bulin ending today at reset or yesterday at reset? I forgot if it said 6 or 7

[vale spindle]

Ends at normal maint time

[crisp estuary]

Phew

@vale spindle also 52 > Rumey > Raff a correct order?

Or does Raff do something special?

[vale spindle]

that sounds about right to me

[stark quiver]

I’m mainly wondering if it increases the hit

[zenith pebble]

like, any aa gun or specifically the 76

[stark quiver]

aa gun with hit/fp

and no pls dont +13 a staag/haze/134

[zenith pebble]

ok so what i can do is +13 an aa gun for science

+13 aa doesnt seem to change any stats

[sharp echo]

do i need to bring 2 sakura with shinano or shes fine as is?

[sinful escarp]

she is fine as is, but to bring out her full potential she needs other sakura ships

[zenith pebble]

it really just buffs ijn cvs and debuffs enemy attacks to her

[zenith pebble]

aye sushi, since youre here, can you also verify this info?

[sweet delta]

You ask, is it better to use your two other IJN ships or your two other good ships for this enemy? If the IJNs are amagi CV and Kazagumo then the answer is usually IJN

[sharp echo]

i dont have amagi, tbh my sakura is still few

[sinful escarp]

then hakuryuu

[wind hazel]

forget about it, your shinano isn't anywhere near useable

[zenith pebble]

kazagumo i think you can get from medal store. since your shinano isnt mlb, no point using her

[sweet delta]

Looks like you have about 0.5 other IJN ships worth using

[sweet delta]

And that

[sinful escarp]

if you want to use shinano fully, then get haku and kazagumo. for now though she needs levels, and mlb

[sharp echo]

i know, just planing ahead xd

[sweet delta]

You can't plan ahead effectively when you don't know the kit of the next several new URs

[sharp echo]

ok im gonna look for kazagumo first

[sinful escarp]

she is in medal exchange

[zenith pebble]

sometimes

you get unlucky like me youll need to wait another month

[crisp estuary]

Kazagumo in the year of our lord 2025

[slow fox]

If it isn't Suchimisinformation

[sharp echo]

yeah my medal shop is cv ca right now

[stark quiver]

sup sigmaz

[eternal moth]

Do you have Enty yet?

[sharp echo]

enterprise? yes i pair with YT2

[normal cedar]

which are the 2 best vanguard ships from these apart from first 4?(retrofits included) (that go along well with scylla preferably)

[viscid swift]

well none of them are particularly good truth be told

[zenith pebble]

buliiii

[slow fox]

I was gonna recommennd Z23 multirole Eugen tank London DPS Houston DPS

[normal cedar]

Or anything that I can get from guild shop that's better?
Or any farmable ship from war archives?

[viscid swift]

not really and none particularly worth farming

cotinue to work on what you do have

[normal cedar]

I won't be rolling till may end... what should I do then
cuz I will push world 9 when I hit lvl 65 but I don't have a 2nd fleet vanguard to make a mob and boss fleet separate

[viscid swift]

as I said, make do with what you have
