#pvp is literally right below

[plain saffron]

Below gph is ask your tb question

[lime thicket]

i just returned after 2 years, is opsci important to grind? i have like no good gear and cant really clear world 13 :(

[sweet delta]

opsi gives good gear and turns +10 gear into +13 gear

[lime thicket]

for research, i should prioritize rigging analysis right? are the cube ones worth doing?

does it matter which pr i have as focused if im not grinding bps for a specific ship? i just want bps for better gear

[sweet delta]

Cube researches are for people who have hundred or thousands of extra cubes and want to finish ships fast. Or for people who are unlucky and have to take a cube research occasionally because the other choices are 💩

Pr7 has some of the best gear, and rigging analysis is the way to get more gear

[lime thicket]

ty! i desperately need more washing machine bps

also should i use my ur bulins on yorktown or implacable if i already have ark royal?

[sweet delta]

Implac 100%

[lime thicket]

most my ships are eagle union tho :0

my boss fleet is shinano musashi and ark royal rn, so id replace ark with implac?

[plain saffron]

Implac is direct upgrade of ark and work with any faction

[versed forum]

which gear should i craft next? Im thinking of making 1 406mk7 or twin 100mm kai

Im following this

[wind hazel]

whichever that will help you more

if unsure just hoard for the moment. right now mk7 has use for arbiter i guess, but that's about it. horneta doesn't use it, neither 100kai

[versed forum]

thx ig I'll save it for now

[eternal moth]

Is U-101 one of the top picks for wolfpack now? If so, I assume it'd be 81/96/101?

[crisp estuary]

[little tree]

Does anyone have an optimal jintsuu meta fleet

[polar lion]

Depends on how many La9, rld tech, oath

[little tree]

8 cv rld only oath is nano
0 la 9

<@&472236072743600148>

[eager mulch]

[polar lion]

Kear, Fritz, Yorkii : Ply/Unzen, Helena, Eldkai but prolly low chance to 1 shot

[little tree]

2 shot wild be better then my current 3-4

[little tree]

Thank-you

[crisp geode]

Is it worth doing the daily build on Heavy/Special or keep doing on Light only? Been getting +3 cubes daily on Light builds but 0 chance for UR ships

[viscid swift]

Well let me ask you this

Even if you were to pull a UR ships would you have the resources to actually max them and make them useful

[stark quiver]

1 light a day
Nothing more

[crisp geode]

Kk

About research, should i do the ones that require cubes or just focus on them ones thag costs gold/plates? Acc is 1 month and a half old, at 106 cubes rn

[stark quiver]

Never do cubes at that count

[crisp geode]

Ok, ty

[tawdry drum]

Any tips on how to deal with chapter 15 plane spam

[stark quiver]

/w15

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

This is a guide for world 15
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15

[split bramble]

If to farm fleet power is main fleet better then vanguard? What rarity is the most optimal?

[clear harbor]

Is the First-Time Recharge with Saratoga just a onetime resource package with Saratoga in it? I guess my question is are there other recharges that become available?

[queen jackal]

whens the best time to salvo/strike to try and reduce backline damage? 15-4 last boss i think i can still win

[stark quiver]

pop planes when theres a wave of enemy planes coming to screen clear i guess

[viscid swift]

uhhhh

[polar lion]

U want to make sure your backline salvo/strikes stagger from each other to ensure highest dmg uptime whether on enemy planes or BBs

[timid solar]

what else is good besides the rainbow plane?

[little tree]

Is sandy in boss fleet ?

[split bramble]

i like pr 5 a lot more

[storm heron]

I like pr 4 a lot more

[split bramble]

the rainbow from pr 5 is the best, if you already have a couple of tenrai

[little tree]

Doggo is saw that emote

[wind hazel]

vit2, daisen gun

[little tree]

I used a similar setup on mob and won like this

Backline was half hp

[queen jackal]

no but after enough retires i finished with uni and zuihou ded

[normal cedar]

boss: enty, pennsylvania, perseus | phoenix, laffey, scylla
mob: unicorn, maryland, saratoga | portland, cleveland, helena
is this distribution acceptable? I'm confused which ships to assign to mob and boss in vanguard especially

[little tree]

Just like me

[wind hazel]

better put portland on boss, helena too

[cobalt gate]

quick question were we able to purchase roses in private quarter before?

[wind hazel]

and idk about perseus

[queen jackal]

i probably wouldnt have needed to retry as much if 2 of my subs werent dead too

[little tree]

~~ my subs are level 110 and blew up

[cobalt gate]

omg i never did lol

[normal cedar]

boss: enty, pennsylvania, perseus | portland, laffey, helena
mob: unicorn, maryland, saratoga | phoenix, cleveland, scylla
this better? what about scylla should she be boss or mob

[cobalt gate]

no wonder it feels so hard to max affinity in private quarters

[storm heron]

perseus in bost fleet is prolly not doing much

[normal cedar]

i dont hv any other mlb option so I put her there

[wind hazel]

let cleve tank

[cobalt gate]

i think i always thought the flowers costed gems

[wind hazel]

put scylla to boss too

[queen jackal]

what gear did you have if u dont mind me asking? also hows ur tech i kind of want a personal gauge on how i did on w15

[wind hazel]

squeeze helena middle

[storm heron]

wait how is cleveland more tanky than phoneix on ehp

[wind hazel]

ehhsex me more

[normal cedar]

boss: enty, pennsylvania, perseus | portland, helena, scylla
mob: unicorn, maryland, saratoga | cleveland, phoenix, laffey
like this?

[little tree]

Give me 5 mins

[wind hazel]

more or less yeah.
do you really have nobody else than perseus, phoenix?

surely you have something else in your fleet

[normal cedar]

old screenshots so levels are different, but still only have these ships

apart from the 12 I mentioned none are mlbed, but I have exp pack if you want

[wind hazel]

if you have gold bulins you can invest into franklin

[normal cedar]

ah no, they got over after mlbing scylla and perseus

[wind hazel]

lol

scylla good, but you messed up on perseus

[storm heron]

time to manual to make perseus useful

[normal cedar]

I thought she was tier ex on tier list so I mlbed her

[wind hazel]

it's better to ask before taking tier list on face value

[rain vine]

you have to read what the ship does

[polar lion]

What does tier ex means?

[storm heron]

well she's EX for what she's doing

[little tree]

Anyone have the fleet tools thats up to date

[storm heron]

boss is not what she's doing

[storm heron]

mrlarhttps://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/

[wind hazel]

if your phoenix is like lv1 or something, i suggest you to get an IJN DD instead, someone like shigure, kasumi or naganami

[storm heron]

updated immediately after datamine is released

[wind hazel]

better to take this chance to raise your TRP statstick ship than phoenix

[normal cedar]

I did ask, btw someone here suggested perseus on that exact same screenshot...

[wind hazel]

who

[normal cedar]

wait lemme pull up their name

[storm heron]

report the criminal

[wind hazel]

@ mod ban that guy

[crisp estuary]

[wind hazel]

inb4 it's me

[stark quiver]

i have a guess

[storm heron]

spill the tea

[normal cedar]

this

[stark quiver]

my guess was wrong

[storm heron]

yuki

[wind hazel]

good job

[viscid swift]

Sigh

[wind hazel]

i like the eugen/phoenix combo

[storm heron]

ah yes the phoenix package

[polar lion]

Phoenix is pretty good for newbie since easier to mlb, mgm+1, zombie for mobbing

[wind hazel]

i prefer other alternative that will help in the longer run

[stark quiver]

phoenix does not help

[wind hazel]

like ironblood vanguard for eventual PR farming, or IJN DD for hardmode requirement

[storm heron]

helper role when

[normal cedar]

so I guess Ill just run this for now, maybe try to mlb franklin

[stark quiver]

this is a very cursed recc btw
i js looked at it and my eyes need bleaching

[wind hazel]

if you already mlb your perseus, then let her mob

[normal cedar]

what do you mean mob already has unicorn as healer though?

[wind hazel]

unicorn is better at boss if this is the setup lol

[normal cedar]

oh damn, sure then

[storm heron]

or uhh u know, 2 healer mob

[wind hazel]

[wind hazel]

ayo what's with the colour

[little tree]

My phones settings

[stark quiver]

bro got the premium package

[little tree]

Jealous are we

[sweet delta]

Why triple asw

[little tree]

Someone recommend headghog so I used it

[sweet delta]

That asw plane was a dead slot

[little tree]

Oh lmao

I will replace that when I go to 3 star with a gold cata

[viscid swift]

more than a bit underwhelming if I'm honest

[queen jackal]

hows your tech

[little tree]

Uhh we don't talk about that

I did have moutian cats

[viscid swift]

also did neither of your try using the boss-mob-boss approach

[little tree]

I did mob boss mob

My. Boss fleet is bad

[queen jackal]

i did exactly this lol

[little tree]

I'll build it one sec.

[viscid swift]

so you tried to 3 star whiel it was lethal?

[little tree]

No

[queen jackal]

yes

[viscid swift]

I mean why, just go for a normal clear if you know you're not strong enough for a lethal 3 star

[tawdry drum]

What research focus tier can i get this

[viscid swift]

PR7

[tawdry drum]

Thx

[queen jackal]

well i hadnt cleared before so i never got a gauge on the difficulty so after a few tries i managed to get to the end so i figured if i could retry spam and just finish then i dont have to worry about it anymore

[viscid swift]

well I presume you'll want to farm for Houston 2 at some point

meaning you'll more than likely get it down to safe anyway

[queen jackal]

true, but it became a personal thing for me

[little tree]

My boss fleet

[viscid swift]

I mean sure but just remember, a victory is a victory no matter how it is achieved

[viscid swift]

I'd give this negative points honestley

[eager mulch]

it looks bad

[little tree]

I don't blame you it's cursed but it works

[viscid swift]

did you really not have a pair of quad mags for Cheshire and Jeanne, or another Twin 90mm or Roomba for Jeann's AA gun

[little tree]

Nope

[viscid swift]

also, you sacked the damage of Amagi and Volga for no good reason

Amagi never wants a Torpedo Bomber in her 2nd slot, it's pretty much always a TB

[little tree]

Well I had more roombas but I need brofors for faster aa fire

Not my.best work i tried

[little tree]

[viscid swift]

I mean seeing as this was the result

[little tree]

Thats was mob fleet killed last boss

[viscid swift]

you killed yeah

[little tree]

Barley

[viscid swift]

but it took you over 2 minutes and you lost at least 2 ships

[little tree]

I definitely should not have won with what i used there

[viscid swift]

that's not sustainable for further clears and farming

[little tree]

I think my mob fleet os okay

Boss is scuffed trying to get shinamoto to replace Cheshire

Or jda

[viscid swift]

just take your time, W15 isn't going anywhere after all

[little tree]

Fo you have an recommendations for making boss fleet better

[viscid swift]

better to build up your fleets and get a smooth clear and be able to easily farm after than charging in and getting that as your victory

[little tree]

What to farm for

[viscid swift]

well what do you have to work with

[little tree]

Uhhh ill tag you in my thread

[viscid swift]

Houston 2

[queen jackal]

can u rate mine too :p

[viscid swift]

what was it again and what was the gear

[quick mason]

Guy's even even without little formidable in fleet she will gain trust if I clear campaign?

[wind hazel]

yes

you gain double if she's in the fleet, but naturally it's more than enough if you do dailies

[quick mason]

Alright

[viscid swift]

if I ignore some of the obvious issues it'd be like a 6 or 7 out of 10

[queen jackal]

LOL

[viscid swift]

but you really can't so it's like 1 or 2

Autoloader on Musashi, just no
also 2 converging TBs on Amagi in a campaign setting makes no sense

the beacons also seem rather superfluous

[queen jackal]

sorry this image is more 15-4 specific but its not too far off from what i used
i used a shell on sashi for 1-3
amagi had a breg up til 15-3 until i needed more survivability on mob and i didnt wanna buy another breg and had no cudas so this was the best compromise while being at least somewhat staggered
my anti air was also more spread out instead of slammed onto mob up til 15-4
only zui had a beacon up til 15-3

[viscid swift]

what do you mean you had no Barracuddas...

[little tree]

Thank you for the link

[queen jackal]

id tried 15-4 2 times before i cleared with sashi running an aa radar and shell before i added more anti air, getting salvos off like 1.5s earlier was genuinely what was saving me from getting my backline shredded especially with out of ammo fights

[viscid swift]

I also don't see how 15-4 changes things to favor the autoloader

and these were all 3 star attempts

[queen jackal]

i could clear before another wave of planes slammed my backline before the battle ended

[queen jackal]

wot does dis mean

[storm heron]

3 star are much harder to do than to just clear the stages

[viscid swift]

were you attempting to to 3 star in all of those runs you did

[queen jackal]

yes i was going in with the intent to 3 star but i wouldve just safe cleared if i couldnt

[viscid swift]

so why didn't you then, just safe clear

[queen jackal]

because after 2 attempts i 3 starred

i wouldve just safe cleared if i failed to 3 star when i initially asked my question

[viscid swift]

I mean if you wanted more AA

why not give the main fleet more twin 90s

rather than resorting to autolaoder shenanigans

or try boss-mob-boss

[queen jackal]

idk probably my lack of experience lol, before then my mob was like kind of barely dying by the end of the level so i figured i didnt need to switch up my fleet that much and i didnt think more anti air was gonna help more over auto since i died faster with a radar on sashi

[queen jackal]

i was still testing to see if my backline would survive more with radar, shell, or autoloader so i didnt wanna change up the route

[viscid swift]

I mean to be blunt, Musashi's aux was unlikely to be the lynchpin

[queen jackal]

well ya dats why i also ended up having to put some of my main fleet aa into my mob, and from my experience it was helping my survivability but yeah im fully aware the fleet has issues 😅

[viscid swift]

heck, even getting all the ships in the fleet to 125 would have helped more

Oh hey Vanguard becomes perma next maintenance

[storm heron]

level 1 vanguard incoming

[dark turret]

why does akashi just give me these things?!!

is it cause im new? 😭

[normal cedar]

you mean next week?!+!

[viscid swift]

Yes

[sinful escarp]

its just freebies from akashi, so yeah, she will eventually stop sending you those

[stark quiver]

fuck i spent all my pity on uvh

[normal cedar]

is she powercrept
vanguafd

[stark quiver]

i cant pro gamer ex

[wind hazel]

sorta, yes and no

still kinda relevant in challenge mode but that's it

[queen jackal]

i just found out that u helped me prep for w15 actually hehe heres what u sent

[stark quiver]

also in ex

[wind hazel]

ex deez nuts

[stark quiver]

im gonna you

[viscid swift]

Old me and current me were operating on the same level

[sinful escarp]

what do we get if we do the monthly challenge thing again?

[little tree]

Stats from 3rd bossy fight Sandy's dmg is all aa dmg.

[stark quiver]

2k coinz

[viscid swift]

Why is eldridge middle

[little tree]

Nearly died in mob fight

[sinful escarp]

welp, i am not going to do it with only that much hahhahah

is she level gapped??

[little tree]

[queen jackal]

yep its practically what i started with besides the asw plane but by 15-3 out of ammo mob fleet needed adjustments to live and thats what my inexperienced ass ended with 😭

[quick mason]

Augh grinding for plates is a pain in the ass

[peak cobalt]

I ran out of grey plates

[little tree]

[arctic sail]

My main team is
New Jersey
Ulrich
Shinano

Kronshtadt
Santa fe
Shimakaze

What ships should I change with?

[little tree]

Whats this fleet for ?

[arctic sail]

I want best team with new jersey and shinano

[peak cobalt]

It's good enough for stage 12 or under

[little tree]

Are they mlb ?

[arctic sail]

I want it for campaign and exercise

[peak cobalt]

All you need is good equipment and MLB

[arctic sail]

And operation siren

[little tree]

Depends on your dock

[arctic sail]

I'm new in this game

I want to build best team

[peak cobalt]

If you're still new, use the AL tier list for general guide

[little tree]

[keen sable]

best team is a bad team

[arctic sail]

I want to know what ships should I focus on it

[novel condor]

Prob should show your dock

[little tree]

All the ultra rares are getting benched

[peak cobalt]

Show your dock first. We see what you got, we'll find a way to help

[little tree]

Do you have unicorn ?

Show purple ships

[little tree]

Unicorn is very good and shod be leveled and retrofit

[sweet delta]

Where's raffaello

[keen sable]

jabbers somehow is your best ship

[arctic sail]

My main are ur ships : Ulrich new jersey and shinano

Which one should I change

[little tree]

Uvh goes first

Realistically you would swap all 3

[keen sable]

obviously uvh since you insist on using nj and shinano

[little tree]

You can't Max limit break them

[arctic sail]

Yeah

I will change Ulrich with unicorn because new jersey is 4 stars

[little tree]

Mlb Franklin and drop nano use exp books on unicorn and level them drop Shima for Santa fe and mlb her. And if you have Portland use her you need her leveled for the newbie mission anyway drop kron for Portland

Best advice i can give im not sure how good Franklin is

[keen sable]

are you still on chapter 1?

[arctic sail]

No I'm in chapter 6

[little tree]

~~ im sure unique name can help you from here

[arctic sail]

I ask chatgpt 🙂 he tell me get helena meta for your team

😋

[keen sable]

My recommendation is
mob: penny/nelson/maryland, unicorn, franklin, chikuma, helena, javelin
boss: your shinies
set the role to mob all enemies

if the boss can't kill something, use the mob instead

[stark quiver]

chatgpt is not a gameplay maxxer

[arctic sail]

Lol 😅

[normal cedar]

also I think you should stop pulling on perma banner if you havent..
since you already hv all urs from it

[timid beacon]

until next week, that is

Vanguard is being added to perma banner next week

[rain vine]

unless its a UR build event, you generally should only be doing 1 light build per day

[arctic sail]

I ask for best team because it's the hardest game to lvl up all characters I can't get exp books free... I want to build my team without change my ships in future.

[rain vine]

you have a source for that?

[stark quiver]

youll need to change teams later on

[timid beacon]

still should only do the daily pulls though

[rain vine]

still doesnt really change that you should not be pulling on perma banner outside of the 1 light build

[keen sable]

it's not and exp packs are very hard to get rid of. your problem is your ships are very bad.

[arctic sail]

I see the top 3 in exercise... They have unzen and alsace

[wind hazel]

alsace good, unzen bad

[keen sable]

and they didn't get there by mucking around with bad ships on chapter 6.

[arctic sail]

My team now :

Franklin
Unicorn
New jersey

Javelin
Santa fe
Kronshtadt

New Jersey and Kronshtadt are 4 stars

[wind hazel]

yeah remove santa fe, nj, kron

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/dayonetips/starterfleet

[arctic sail]

👍

[storm heron]

slaimuda beating ecgc newbguide

[sharp echo]

we got aprils fools again ?

[wind hazel]

no it's joever

[sharp echo]

why my ship icon swapped

[wind hazel]

restart game

[stark quiver]

oh i just realised

[nimble knoll]

What does Little Formi Do?

[jaunty vault]

look cute

[sharp echo]

i just realize the ddg missle dont work on boss fleet

[jaunty vault]

yea bosses are immune to missile strikes/ cat strikes

there's some older events that give you non DDG missile strikes
bosses are immune to even that

[normal cedar]

finally finished retrofitting unicorn 😭
is this gear alright for now?

[atomic abyss]

For now yes

[fathom apex]

I know theres a command to pull up a guide for world's. But what's the one for w13hard?

[jaunty vault]

there's no guide for 13H but the fleets in /w15 should work
there's no submarine enemies in w13 either so you can use other auxes instead of submarine gear

[atomic abyss]

There isn't one
It's essentially w15 comps
But you can use triple carrier for mob

[upbeat wagon]

Any ships from this list worth raising, will grind plymouth xp using it

[zealous fractal]

Is admiral nahkimov worth getting?

[rapid grail]

Yes

[zealous fractal]

Alr

I'm currently getting drake, gonna get Anchorage after

[zealous fractal]

I think javelin retrofit is really good

Good evasive

[rapid grail]

prio Ancho instead, she's easier to farm and get prints for

[upbeat wagon]

I have Z23 retro

[zealous fractal]

I only need to do the research for drake lol

[ocean pilot]

https://renhex.github.io/alft/277
i only have 1 quadruple 152mm main gun mount but we need 2 from this fleet. which ship should use it and what is the subtitute gun for another?

[zealous fractal]

As for prints. Doesn't matter since I'm already grinding for FDG prints

[zealous fractal]

Can u get plymouth with zz3?

[rapid grail]

you can give Shimanto the same gun that JdA has. All the frontline needs to do is to survive the boss nodes

[upbeat wagon]

No what im saying is is there another ship to raise, since i already have another ship that does the same role

[normal cedar]

are z23 and javelin worth mlbing just to get ayanami? my only destroyer now is retro laffey, I was suggested here to get a ijn dd

[weak shell]

do I need to +13 all 4 of my La9 to consistently oneshot this meta or am I having a skill issue

maybe it's my Soy not 200 aff, dookie slowpoke

[inland shoal]

How consistent are we talking?

[zealous fractal]

How do I get more tech points for a faction? Is it lvl or mlbs?

[inland shoal]

/fleettech

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: How do I get more fleet technology points?
You get fleet tech points by:

1. Collecting the ship (~20%)
2. Max Limit Breaking it (~45%)
3. Achieving level 120 (~35%)

-Higher rarity ships gives more fleet tech pts .
-Heavier ship hulls also gives more fleet tech pts: CV=BB>CA>CL>DD

Side notes:
-PR ships give more fleet tech pts than normal but follow the above formula with development 30 replacing MLB.
-META ships are considered a separate META faction. They give same bonuses as their non-META versions.
-Collab ships, Muse and little versions of ships e.g. Li'l Sandy, Clevelad and Lena etc do not give any fleet tech pts.
-Iron Blood faction ships receive double the normal tech points compared to other nations.

For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki

[zealous fractal]

Ah ok that sucks

[inland shoal]

That's why sometimes farming war archives for some of those ship drops is worthwhile

[neon finch]

Which dockyard ship to go for

[weak shell]

idk, I'd prefer oneshotting before support barrage damage cap out but this meta looking cancer with eva

[inland shoal]

You haven't gotten a single oneshot?

100% consistency iirc wasn't achievable even with 4 +13 La9s, but just to get decently consistent you shouldn't need all 4 +13 or Soyuz at 200 (Though you might have to tweak her timing)

[weak shell]

oh I have just yk, not consistent enough

I'm just copying Soy Cat Fritz Z52 comp

usual things, you see those all over

I mean I did change gun but yk, still looking sus

[grizzled sundial]

How do i place little formi in the dorm to recover morale ?

[inland shoal]

The question is why do you need to recover her morale? There's no real point in using her, if you're decently active you'll get enough points even without using her. And if you want to use her to get her faster or whatever you should put her in the boss fleet so you don't run into morale issues

[normal cedar]

whats the use of these things? (coordinate loggers)

[sinful escarp]

they are hidden zones, areas for more items

[honest sequoia]

gives gold plates and OpSi mats to craft in gear labs

[normal cedar]

then the varying rarity also corresponds to better materials in those hidden ideas?

[honest sequoia]

higher corrosion lvl of the coordinate loggers = better rewards

[sinful escarp]

ideally you would want to clear all hidden zone before opsi resets every month

[normal cedar]

should I only go for buying loggers r3 onwards or r2 as well?

[sinful escarp]

might as well get them all

[sleek spade]

how do you get higher relationship on subs? it's so hard to farm that

[sinful escarp]

always use them, same with other ships

[sleek spade]

it's like 5 use per campaign run it's so annoying lol

[atomic abyss]

The previous event was very good for farming sub exp and affection...

[sleek spade]

yea I got a lot from that but after the event Im trying to finish the rest

I just can't cus it's so inefficient

[atomic abyss]

Frostfall is rerunning next week

Just wait for that instead

[sleek spade]

ok

what is frostfall anyways

[dreamy blade]

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

[vestal yoke]

how good is tashkent?

[dreamy blade]

one of the better gold DDs

[sleek spade]

nice

[inland shoal]

Iirc buying r2 loggers isn't worth it

[waxen portal]

Should i use NJs original gun or the twin UR?

[normal cedar]

ok, Ill take care not to from next time
thanks

[wind hazel]

for what? for who?

[whole crypt]

corrosion 2 hiddens are 🚮

I don't even bother clearing those that drop

[jaunty vault]

I don't even bother with c3/4

[whole crypt]

those can still drop gold plate

at least 4 definitely can

also 4 nodes fair chance of dive or scamcat

[jaunty vault]

its probably just the cats

dropping T4

[dreamy blade]

dive?

[jaunty vault]

meowficcer diving into sea

scamcat is akashi

[undone plover]

C4 hidden guarantees 1 plate if your fleet isnt too stupid to pick it up

[jaunty vault]

[jaunty vault]

does c3 drop any

[undone plover]

Only from cat nodes

[paper walrus]

I wanna use ibuki because she is waifu. It is worth to craft her augment then right? Or is it not important

[normal cedar]

I think ibuki augument makes her much better? Ive heard so

[paper walrus]

🙏

[shell willow]

it is worth

[whole crypt]

Ibuki aug helps her be a fast clearer for shorter fights but she loses her edge for longer fights

so kind of depends where you want to use her

[paper walrus]

Ig i can just remove it if i really have to

Wait im confused

Do you mean its not that helpful in long fights or that it makes her worse

[jaunty vault]

what nntkt says is ibuki's inherent problem the augment itself improves ibuki

[whole crypt]

the aug doesn't make her worse for long fights, she's just not good for it

[paper walrus]

Oh ok

[tame jungle]

the augment mostly makes her a lot better at what she was already good at

[paper walrus]

🙏

[hollow gust]

If you want a simple dps heavy cruiser that can tank just pick roon , she has less flaws then Saint and ibuki

[normal cedar]

is this worth buying at my level? its expensive and i dont think ill be crafting rainbow gear at my level

[dreamy blade]

you have the whole month to farm opsi and buy everything in the shop

[tropic tusk]

always buy them

[crimson glacier]

if you want you could just wait until the end of the month and then see if you have enough currency to buy it without any downside

[dreamy blade]

those are also 1 of the rarest opsi mats and you need a lot of them

[crimson glacier]

what uses those

[dreamy blade]

tenrai and twin457

[normal cedar]

oh ok then, sure!
rainbow tenrai can also be made using Prototype Cores though right? why make more in gear lab too then

[dreamy blade]

yes but rainbow gear in proto shop is limited to only 1 of each

[normal cedar]

I see, i thought it was monthly refresh

[normal cedar]

what do you mean? the shop refreshes every 72 hours
it has a timer on top...

[sinful escarp]

the guild shop is the one that refreshes every 72hrs

[dreamy blade]

oh that means it's your first month of opsi

[crimson glacier]

ah you havent finished opsi story then or finished this month

[sinful escarp]

that is the exchange shop for opsi that refreshes every 1st of the month

[dreamy blade]

the shop refreshes but rotates from a fixed pool of items

[normal cedar]

oh, I see; Ill make use of it then and buy everything before it stops refreshing

[vital quest]

where and how would one be able to grind roughly 1080 t4 AA gun parts as soon as possible?

[woven star]

what gun?

ah, upgrades plates

[hollow gust]

Why do you need aa plates

[woven star]

and t4... golden?

[shell willow]

do opsi, guild operation and buy from guild shop

[woven star]

anyway answer is nowhere. most income from opsi. on guild shop you'll can buy 10 parts on your choice but imho main gun and aux more important

[normal cedar]

just obtained helena meta, should I invest into her (crystals, fortification and skills)? I am kinda lacking in good vanguard options, so idk if she's good, the tier list says shes in same tier as helena retro

[woven star]

if you really want invest some resources in meta ship then choose jintsu meta. she still in some top of pvp ship. other way not on your level rate. better focus on what you have now. meta ships are expensive for new players

[normal cedar]

I see, thanks! In that case I'll just go for collecting them for now, maybe think about investment later

[woven star]

focus on research ships

Anchorage, St. Luis, Roon (if have IB ships), Agir, Cheshire

[normal cedar]

im lacking retro prints to finish saint louis, I dont have ib vanguard apart from seen above
others require tech points which I was told to focus on at world 12...
will try to finish saint louis atleast tho

[tardy agate]

How do I unlock skills

[wind hazel]

skill of what ship

[woven star]

most by limit brake ship. but there is some exceptions like retrofit

so better point a ship name

[tardy agate]

uh enterprise

[tardy agate]

i did limit break but i didnt unlock any new thing

[wind hazel]

she only has 1 skill

[tardy agate]

oh damn tough

[wind hazel]

dont worry, one skill is all it takes for enterprise to be strong

[warped hazel]

guys when vanguard gonna get added at perma?

[wind hazel]

next week

[warped hazel]

oh ty since she dodge me like alot 😭

[woven star]

and for future you'll see all skills which ship can have but some of them will be with locker

[elfin hollow]

After almost two years of not returning to the game properly, I’ve realized I’ve got two accounts and really need assistance of getting past 9-1 as I’ve been struggling immensely.

(This is my Sandy account.)

Gem Spending 101

Gems in Azur Lane are fairly rare from an F2P perspective. However, the gacha in Azur lane does not require gems and their main usage is expansion of facilities like dorm, academy, docks and depot, as well as buying resources, resource packs, premium items (rings and name change), and skins.

As an F2P, you can get up to 4700 guaranteed gems (3750 for 3* clearing all 15 main campaign worlds, 800 for completing Bands collection and 150 for 8 days login campaign), not counting random gems from commissions or occasional bonuses from events or other sources.

Considering limited availability of gems for F2P players, even if spent exclusively on QoL upgrades, it is impossible to upgrade everything.

This is the recommended way to spend gems as an F2P:

• 3rd Dorm slot (300 gems)
• Dorm 2nd floor (500 gems)
• Dock space (remaining gems)

The main purpose of the dorm is for faster morale regen while grinding. Using ships with 0 morale will receive a 50% exp penalty and lose affinity.

The 2nd floor of the dorm will have the same number of slots as the 1st floor. While it lacks passive exp gain, it has faster morale regen. 3 dorm slots with the 2nd floor gives you a total of 6 slots, which is enough for your whole mob fleet.

Dock space is the biggest constraint for players. While this can help casual players collect all their waifus, there is also practical use in collecting ships - for later levelling to get their fleet tech on reaching lvl 120. These are important for players as they provide crucial additional stats that help players to tackle the hardest content (W14/15, H.Arbiters, CM).

Alternatively, players may consider getting the 3rd Academy slot for faster skill training or more dorm slots instead of just dock space (not recommended).

While players may opt to buy skins/rings with the F2P gems, this will come at the cost of QoL. It is recommended to only buy those with real money 💳.

[sinful escarp]

honestly just put unicorn in this fleet and that is more than enough to clear 12-4

[nocturne glade]

might want to replace helenas second radar with an hp aux asw

[elfin hollow]

I feel as if using Unicorn isn’t exactly getting me through, as last time I attempted to do so, I ended up getting halfway through before getting obliterated and was unable to get even the third star.

[sinful escarp]

change that radar to a catapult

[woven star]

@elfin hollowand you almost got mlb Kazagumo. she is strong cv supp. and swap Portland with Laffey. Port is tank

[elfin hollow]

Would Kazagumo > Helena? I remember she specializes in boosting dmg dealt.

[sinful escarp]

kazagumo buffs carriers only. helena will debuff enemies for your backline to deal a lot more damage

[woven star]

not really...? Actualy it's little different ships. Kaza mor often for CV fleets. Helena for BBs. But with lack some ships like Sirius for CVs and Plym for BBs they can be at same team for bosses

[sinful escarp]

honestly i would keep helena there for now because she is already ahead in levels

just add unicorn to the fleet in your SS, swap portland and laffey positions, then you are good to clear until w12

also i just noticed your hood gear, buy the gold black and white shells and put them on her

[woven star]

I think you meant Laffey and Portland... cos your suggestion even worse what now

[hollow gust]

helena is the better damage amp, just kazagumo as a ship is bette

[outer cedar]

for some reason i didnt know bout this til today
btw which ship is the best one here?

[worldly cairn]

Yat Sen

[woven star]

Hwah Jah imho

[elfin hollow]

Complete! Quick small question, would Saratoga really benefit, even with her lack of gear?

[wheat ore]

wait how do you get this?

[worldly cairn]

login CNY

[outer cedar]

i got no idea lol
could be from the lunar new year event

[wheat ore]

oh, it stays till now?

[outer cedar]

ig lol

[sinful escarp]

add gear on sara, even purple catapult or aviation oil tank

[sinful escarp]

its event limited, so if you didnt do the event you wont have it

[wheat ore]

ah i see

[outer cedar]

probably not gonna use this cuz i dont find any ships here better than the ones i currently using

[sinful escarp]

honestly yeah, but i also agree that hwa jah is a good pick

[elfin hollow]

For the Lexington server, I’m currently at 10-1.

Would any changes be recommended.

[sinful escarp]

bro, just focus on 1 server. its basically the same anways

choose the one you have more limited ships in

[elfin hollow]

Understood!

[outer cedar]

i dont think u need 3 destroyers in one fleet bth since 10-1 isnt a submarine map

[sinful escarp]

but honestly just go with your lexington one cause it has progressed more

and you have bismark zwei

[forest palm]

Vanguard perm next maint?

[normal cedar]

yes, chinese announcement confirmed it

[rose cosmos]

Man why did I roll for vanguard lol

I honestly never use her

[normal cedar]

is she not unique enough?

[sinful escarp]

cause she 🌈

[rose cosmos]

Like 90% of the time my bbs are either fdg or musashi, and that’s about it lol

[wind hazel]

well you will use all 3 for opsi

if those 3 are your only options

[timid beacon]

I play Allies-only, and all of my BBs ended up either Iris or Eagle, and 1 Northern. the Royal BBs just haven't kept up in comparison

[turbid marsh]

well she isn't a campaign focused ship, shes meta/arbitor/light boss oriented.

[hoary relic]

did the CN annoucement confirm bisW gonna rerun?

[wind hazel]

no

[forest palm]

Nope no news

[hoary relic]

oh ok

[timid beacon]

just Vanguard in perma, and Frostfall rerun so far. Zwei should come in a bit sometime after

[wind hazel]

wait for CN anni stream, probably will be announced there

[hoary relic]

[rose cosmos]

Also @wind hazel help me build a c15 fleet brah

[hoary relic]

btw should i do lv1-3 hidden map? i feel it is a waste of AP

[whole crypt]

there's no c1 hidden
c2 hiddens are 🚮
c3 might still spawn something useful

[wind hazel]

/w15

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

This is a guide for world 15
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15

[rose cosmos]

Yes brah but I don’t have jeannu

And she seems really important in this

[wind hazel]

open thread

[whole crypt]

do you have Eldridge retrofit

if you have just replace JdA with her

[hollow gust]

Jeanne is just durability buff

[rose cosmos]

Yeah but don’t you want durability in 15-x, and eld is already in mob

[hollow gust]

or just run another tank? and not to mention there are other fleets where you can drop elridge from mob

[rose cosmos]

I need her invincibility for mob

[hollow gust]

look at the other fleets, its like u just scroll all the way down and looked at 1 fleet instead of reading the tips

[rose cosmos]

I have been running agir and that big tiddy dd girl stacked toger for tank with ply in the middle

[hollow gust]

[rose cosmos]

They got wiped near the end

[whole crypt]

Agir is disadvantaged in ch15

[zenith heron]

"Big tiddy DD" doesn't help unless its Z52

[whole crypt]

whatever I guess if you just want someone to build your fleet for you than learning what works or doesn't or what's wrong with your fleet

[hollow gust]

at least put more effort in looking at the guide, there are 3 links with example fleets

[zenith heron]

Also said fleet sounds like w14 focused

[rose cosmos]

Yeah it’s her

[whole crypt]

a ch15 fleet is basically a ch14 fleet with AA

[rose cosmos]

I just had a pr bench set lol, was so tired I forgot her name

[hollow gust]

Laffey Shimanto Z52
Then you can move your elridge to boss

[wind hazel]

he doesnt have laffey or shimanto, i checked

[whole crypt]

just don't do ch15

[wind hazel]

that's what i suggested

[whole crypt]

does he at least have sandy

[wind hazel]

wait for cn anni, see if new ship gona help or not

only sandy and z52

[whole crypt]

support CV options good?

[wind hazel]

no laf no shimanto no guam no other AA, other than cheshire lol

[whole crypt]

I don't remember what AA I used for boss fleet back on launch

[wind hazel]

no aquila no volga, only zuihou

[zenith heron]

So said player only has the former and Z52?

[whole crypt]

Zuihou is kind of fine...

but yeh easier to just wait for recommended ships, no rush anyway

[sturdy badger]

Aight, who's next?

[normal cedar]

wait for vanguard maybe?

[honest sequoia]

Does anyone know whats a good meta dossier boss to test dps??

[tawdry halo]

I unlocked Sector 2 of OpSi and they let me use 4 fleets now, do I just stick to using one fleet

[honest sequoia]

well yes kinda
but have atleast 2 fully invested fleet for opsi

[tawdry halo]

I only have one main formation fully invested, the second formation is very much less invested

[honest sequoia]

cuz you will be using that one fleet for almost everything which is mobbing

[honest sequoia]

start investing in that one

[normal cedar]

you need 4 fleets for puzzles
just put random ships, dont uwe them in battle

[tawdry halo]

I'mma just randomly put in some of my waifu-purposed shipgirls and call it a day

[tame jungle]

it's ok to go to w12 and just chill and start opsi whenever you can make some decent fleets

[tawdry halo]

I'm not even in W9 (lv 63/65)

[tame jungle]

then get to it

[tawdry halo]

grinding lv is a pain

also is there any effective way to farm prototype cores for UR bulin farming?

[forest palm]

sit on it, if you don't have Vanguard she'll be perm next week, and more valuable than what you have left to choose from

[tame jungle]

spec core* not really besides just getting the medal shop ones + playing the game actively

[deep cypress]

How the f do I sync Implac, Shinano and Amagi CV, guys?

[wind hazel]

get them within 0.2s from one another, swap planes around

with implacable in the middle, ideally

[deep cypress]

Shouldn't Shinano be in the middle?

[wind hazel]

no

[tame jungle]

he's referring to the launch order

[deep cypress]

Ah, ok.

[wind hazel]

oh, if you were asking shinano middle as in, flagship, then yes

[deep cypress]

Thx.

[tawdry halo]

butterfly skill

[tame jungle]

yes we know

just a bit of a mixup really lol

[wind hazel]

but butterfly skill!

[tame jungle]

iirc there was an AA performance calculation list somewhere right? (probably by mebot)
does anyone have a link to that for me?

[wind hazel]

Nubian: Yes master, as you wish.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rb_uXVmDnK2YKe-0YRTrf3VUcQi8mKwEMYKCBFmVXCc/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[tame jungle]

thank you my beautiful maid

[wind hazel]

nubian 15% of sandy AA btw, so bad

[tame jungle]

nubian AA carry will be real with augment trust

[hoary relic]

should i buy those lv 4 loggers from shop?

[tawdry halo]

My most invested formation and less invested formation as of now

I'm getting Helena levelling up and retrofitting her to replace York

[hollow gust]

Just don't run that 2nd fleet , they are are basically useless

[hoary relic]

trust me, u only need 1 fleet to beat w1 to w12

[tawdry halo]

I am just wondering if I should replace Arizona with Rodney or something

[hollow gust]

You invest in good ships , and none of them 2nd fleet ships are good investments

[hoary relic]

retro uni and life is easier

[shell willow]

if you are gonna do them

[tame jungle]

don't swap mid for mid

[hoary relic]

is it worthy to buy it or exchanging for shop voucher?

[tawdry halo]

Retro Uni is in my most invested formation

[shell willow]

you get more than enough vouchers already

[hoary relic]

then retro helena, she is good if u want bonus dmg to metas

[shell willow]

if you invest a reasonable time into opsi

[tame jungle]

simon what are you talking about

[tawdry halo]

I'm doing that, although I'm also suffering to retro San Diego

[wind hazel]

bonus damage from nelson

100k to 105k maybe

[hoary relic]

@tame jungle

[tawdry halo]

I'm also levelling and mlb Rodney for Nelson's PoV aux

[hollow gust]

Oh huh vanguard is perma pool soon

[hoary relic]

for long run?

[tame jungle]

you just have to mlb rodney, no need to actually use her since you get the aux at the star requirement

[wind hazel]

eventually you will want to retro helena. but she's not a priority for someone like Mina

[hoary relic]

[wind hazel]

save your mats, save your coin. i'd rather invest them into shipyard than helena for now

[hoary relic]

coins aint a matter when u reached w12 right?

[wind hazel]

coin will always a matter

[tame jungle]

you still gotta get the coins by grinding

[wind hazel]

everything uses coin for new players

[hollow gust]

Newbies can't even take advantage of the sg radar

[hoary relic]

excluding coins up for shipyard i mean

[tame jungle]

personally i only stopped having coin issues after i got done developing every single PR ship

[wind hazel]

mlb, awakening will drain your coin fast. pulling for event, enhancing new gear

[hoary relic]

damn right....

since increase lv cap for URs cost a lot of coins

[tawdry halo]

I see, time to set her in the dorm

[hoary relic]

anyways is that 6-4 is the only stage that drops yuudachi?

[wind hazel]

si

[tame jungle]

(that means yes in spanish)

[hoary relic]

is that mean yes in spanish?

[normal cedar]

i swear there was another way to get her, I cant remember it, was it some shop?

[tame jungle]

i think you're thinking of yukikaze

[wind hazel]

no other way

[honest sequoia]

Yes but don’t farm her for now

[normal cedar]

ok yea

[hoary relic]

just asking since 6-4 doesnt have oil cap

[tame jungle]

just 1:1 her when you have nothing else to farm

[honest sequoia]

Farm her (if u want)
When u can do a 1:1 fleet cuz below W9 has no oil cap

[hoary relic]

but is she good anyways?

[honest sequoia]

She’s alright

[hoary relic]

decent right?

[honest sequoia]

Only if u retrofit her

[tame jungle]

she's expensive and honestly a bit powercrept but she's serviceable

[honest sequoia]

+1

[tame jungle]

it's more of a case that you can use her if you have her already or if you really love her but it's really not worth the effort to go chasing after her

[hoary relic]

ok so sandy still better to invest

[tame jungle]

hydrogen baby vs crying bomb

hydrogen bomb* vs crying baby*

[honest sequoia]

When u reach w12 yes

[wind hazel]

crying hydrogen vs nubi baby

[hoary relic]

eh i alr retro sandy and lv up her to 125 before w11

[honest sequoia]

That’s good

[hoary relic]

anyways since guam is going to perm pool, so should i get her or NJ?

[tame jungle]

you are wrong

she has not even had her rerun yet

[wind hazel]

since when is guam going to perm pool...

[honest sequoia]

No and where did u heard this news from

[hoary relic]

thought the CN annouced lol or maybe im wrong

[wind hazel]

it's Vanguard

[tame jungle]

yeah you're wrong

[hoary relic]

damn wrong name

[tame jungle]

guamguard

[hoary relic]

ah boo

[woven star]

Vanguam Damme

[hoary relic]

and we should make 3 BB or 3CV fleet for time sync?

[tawdry halo]

chat, may I ss my current port and ask for opinion about what I could use to form a reasonable second fleet for future investment?

[tame jungle]

for opsi usually it's mob, 3BB, 3CV and then antilight or crossfleet in slot 4

[hoary relic]

i guess i'll consider this after i have enough ships and gear for harb

[hollow gust]

Newbies won't be able to replicate that so no point even trying

[tame jungle]

well yeah it depends on the account status but it's something to work towards
no use in using a 3bb comp with like nelson hood penny or whatever the fuck lol

[hollow gust]

Although these days it's not about BB or CV fleets anymore ,hybrids are so strong

[ivory pawn]

Yep. Would recommend sticking it in a thread to get away from slowmo.

[tawdry halo]

Current port, pls suggest future second formation investment

[hoary relic]

[tame jungle]

definitely depends on what options you have, but yeah the soyuz/nakhi/fritz comp is very potent

[tame jungle]

next time do this in a thread pls

[hoary relic]

i started playing in yk2 rerun so i dont have soyuz and fritz for sure

[tame jungle]

ok

[eager mulch]

ok

[tawdry halo]

alr,
so anyway, just an extra stuff, I can mlb Implacable after this seasonal cruise mission (I'm just waiting to get the stage 100 UR bulin then buy one in the proto shop)

[hoary relic]

UvH is better than in mobbing right?

[forest palm]

unless it's ops mobbing, Ulrich goes in boss more often than not

[hoary relic]

[grizzled sundial]

I read on the wiki about plane equipment , there is this stat called crash damage , what is it ?

[woven star]

You don't have second tank. Are you researching some ships?

[tawdry halo]

I thought UVH should be bench forever...

[forest palm]

if you have better options sure

[tame jungle]

it's a pvp thing
and you don't really use CVs in pvp

[tawdry halo]

I'm researching Saint Louis, only 2000k exp needed to finish researching,,,

[tame jungle]

iirc, once the plane flies offscreen behind the backline it does crash damage (PVP)

[woven star]

St. Luis can't be a second. Anchorage or Roon or Agir. Not sure but you don't have second tank for second fleet

[hollow gust]

huh?

[tame jungle]

saint louis is a serviceable mob tank

[hollow gust]

saint louis is perfectly fine for tanking, this isnt w15

[tawdry halo]

Do I just build up a second retro Portland atp or what?

[hoary relic]

i have her in my dock rn so should i use her or keep using roon instead?

[hollow gust]

well roon is better ship, but that doesnt mean saint isnt good rn

[woven star]

Let it be

[hoary relic]

ye but should i invest in st louis even though my roon is lv120

[tame jungle]

tfym let it be

[hollow gust]

she has around drake dps, with antilight rivaling ply

[normal cedar]

is it fine if I slap unicorn retro lv 105 on my lv 75 fleet 2 and run it on 9-1? will they be able to win both mob and boss?

or maybe if both perseus and unicorn are there then?

[hollow gust]

uni retro should be enough

[normal cedar]

alr, thanks! it will speed up leveling

[tawdry halo]

Also, is Monarch a better replacement for UVH? Given both of them mlb

[hollow gust]

no lol

uvh is still a UR, just a weak on as flag

[jaunty vault]

flag uvh would still beat monarch

[hoary relic]

there are no URs who is weaker than SRs right?

[jaunty vault]

not that you should use her as flag

[jaunty vault]

depends on how you define weaker
warspite is the most obvious one

[hoary relic]

oh ye forgot warspite and drake

[jaunty vault]

drake is still good

warpite is just bad

[hoary relic]

but why i feel the gap between her and others DR is so big?

[hoary relic]

well she is used to be good, used to be eh

[jaunty vault]

she's older
drake is as good as azuma

[hoary relic]

real?

[jaunty vault]

obviously you won't get recommended to invest in them as a newbie cause pr4/5 is just better

[forest palm]

Azuma bad?

[jaunty vault]

her legs gave in sitting in the wheelchair for too long 😭

[tame jungle]

[hoary relic]

anyways, do we able to get 360 star in exploration?

[forest palm]

will say Drake is simpler to use out of the box, not that she's better than Azuma

[viscid swift]

yes

[jaunty vault]

360 stars takes a long time but it is definitely achievable

[forest palm]

after like 3~ish years I finished it, some people still haven't

[hoary relic]

is it even possible in 1 month?

[jaunty vault]

no

[jaunty vault]

I'm at 320 ish but I've been passive about it

[hoary relic]

i thought we cant make it since OpSi rs every month

[sturdy badger]

Sorry for late reply but I already got Vanguard from the rerun

[ivory pawn]

Exploration stars don’t reset.

[hoary relic]

[forest palm]

scratch that took me 4 years

[forest palm]

grab Ulrich if you haven't MLB'd Shinano

[forest palm]

some of the Star Missions are nortoriously RNG heavy, and some of these are stacked by a once a month chance to spawn the objective

[sturdy badger]

MLB'd already

Ulrich eh?

[forest palm]

you could use the freebie to help LB Vanny, or just grab Ulrich

anyone know how i can grind the stuff i need for combat data collection

like the books

[forest palm]

books don't count for CDC

/prgrind

[odd root]

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.

[forest palm]

unless you're talking about Combat Data Packs which you shouldn't be using to begin with

[eager mulch]

smoking kills

[jaunty vault]

oh

gaming table probably gonna end up in core shop 😔

[rapid grail]

z flag aux on limited core shop

[jaunty vault]

would be nice to see them add it to gearlab too

[rapid grail]

you seen a craftable aux on gearlab? aside from asw planes

[eager mulch]

[jaunty vault]

no

[forest palm]

who is gonna tell'em that the Oxy Torp in the Monthly was an event limited

[jaunty vault]

i mean oxytorp was perma before gearlab 😔
let me cope

[rapid grail]

Yet you can spam them

I doubt gaming table will be the same

[jaunty vault]

oxytorp was also perma before limited core shop

[rapid grail]

time will tell if devs gonna add gaming table to either monthly or limited core data shop

[molten zinc]

Or just not added at all (like Shima torp and Kron gun)

[jaunty vault]

[wind hazel]

big if tru

[rapid grail]

That's better

[rapid grail]

They'd rather go to gear lab tho. Core data shop for event aux gear. This is where we probably get multiple copies of Shima's torps:

Same goes for Kronshtadt's gun which may be brought to perma when they add NP faction to Gear Lab. But not now I suppose

[forest palm]

UR 610 is useless, so nothing is missed, and the 305 B-50 is alright so nothing missed there as well

[sullen birch]

Question
What is the T0 ?

[tardy agate]

uh i did some sortie on my eagle vanguard ships and earned around 100k exp but it doesnt show on my pr development

[tame jungle]

what ship are you researching

[tardy agate]

saint louis

[tame jungle]

have you checked whether you claimed combat data collection 1

[tardy agate]

yea

it says completed

[tame jungle]

what about the timegate for combat data collection 2

is it open?

[tardy agate]

yes

[tame jungle]

what ships are you using

[tardy agate]

new jersey and enterprise

[wind hazel]

💀

[tame jungle]

you need frontliners for saint louis, not backliners

[tardy agate]

damn tough

[wanton dawn]

in op si for bb team with alsace soyuz nj is agir a gd tank...?

[tame jungle]

sure

[wanton dawn]

ty

[mental nexus]

any team compositions for siren

[undone plover]

Mob fleet
1 BB fleet
1 CV fleet
1 extra fleet
Extra can be w.e u have leftover or x-fleet spam

For early game just use your 2 campaign fleets

[mental nexus]

full bb and full cv?

[jaunty vault]

yes

you can do mix but this is what's generally done

[sweet delta]

Soyuz and kear can be in the suitable CV fleets

[mental nexus]

unfortunately i dont have them i just came back and theres like 5 new URs already lmao

whod i use

[honest stirrup]

What's the point of a full BB team exactly?

[sweet delta]

Sync buffs and debuffs

[whole crypt]

360 stars doesn't do anything anyway

[honest stirrup]

Because I just go for at least 1 CV in every team to get the freeze that no BB I know of have

[sweet delta]

Assuming you don't have 6 good BBs, you can use two CV fleets of
Shinano Implac haku
Enterprise AvP Yorkii

[whole crypt]

my BB fleet exists for the sole purpose of being a cross fleet slot

[sweet delta]

@mental nexus

[hoary relic]

we do hidden maps for gold plates right?

[honest sequoia]

would kearsage work with york and avp

[whole crypt]

gold plates and lab stuff

[mental nexus]

icic but who do i use for vanguards especially for BB and CVs

[hoary relic]

Excluding ordnance reports

[honest sequoia]

yes and OpSi mats in general

[whole crypt]

if you get dive nodes they're a chance for ordreps

[hoary relic]

My luck is trash so my pussycats never dug any t2 rp or t3

[honest sequoia]

just keep grinding its ok man

[whole crypt]

you can't drop T3s

[hoary relic]

i guess i need to wait untill opsi rs for more t2 and t3 ordnance rp to craft 10rai

[whole crypt]

keep burning AP for more dives

make sure the fleet has lv30 gold cats

[mental nexus]

where does yuudachi drop again

[hoary relic]

6-4

[hoary relic]

My cat is only 23 rn

[honest sequoia]

feed them with purple cats

[whole crypt]

it'll take time but you'll get there

[hoary relic]

I feed all to her

[whole crypt]

everything in the game just takes time

[hoary relic]

Even the blue pussycats

[honest sequoia]

a random lv30 gold cat is good

[honest sequoia]

yea feed everything to the gold one

dont build purple/blue cats

[hoary relic]

do i need to buy all the daily cat food?

[honest sequoia]

cat food???

[whole crypt]

if you mean the boxes sure if you can spare the coins

[hoary relic]

i have never thought that my cat lv affect the luck

[whole crypt]

OS tooltip literally says level and rarity of cat if I remember correctly

[hoary relic]

me, who is too lazy to read eh

Anyway, newthing learnt

[polar lion]

There are good purple kyats too

[whole crypt]

the second cat you use for a sub fleet after steel is a purple cat

for most other fleets you just game another appropriate gold cat hopefully with the right talents

[ivory pawn]

You guys have two gold CV cats?

[hoary relic]

why i feel like those cats' buffs are so little

I mean the bonus stats they bring to us not their skills

[polar lion]

No, my CV kyats pair are purple/gold

[whole crypt]

the stats are meant to be tiny bonuses

it's better than nothing but talents are where the gravy is

[hoary relic]

anyway do u guys spend coins to gacha talent for those pussycats?

[whole crypt]

after you run out of other things to spend coins on yes

[hoary relic]

Ah rich life belike

[whole crypt]

it's not so much rich and more just having already spent everything else you needed

I don't need to retrofit or LB any ships

don't need to spend to dev ships

[polar lion]

One of my purple kyats I'm proud of. Together with my Steel, they made the 40 rld combo that my subs fleet enjoy and 6% entire fleet dmg buff

[hoary relic]

is that true to call oldbie gaming?

[whole crypt]

gear is 99% enhanced

[hoary relic]

I feel like this purp cat shits nearly all gold cats used for sub

[whole crypt]

play efficiently for another 5 or 6 years you'll be in the same place

[whole crypt]

it does edelweiss is legit the second best cat in game for sub fleets, after steel

[hoary relic]

or maybe it is one of the only 2 cats who have talents for sub

[whole crypt]

granted you need the right talents

[hoary relic]

btw i have taken a look at the calculator web, it says each FP/AVI equal 1% output dmg, is that true

[whole crypt]

1% of the base damage on the weapon

not 1% of total damage for every FP/AVI

[hoary relic]

[polar lion]

Just to note it is 1% fp/avi increase = 1% dmg increase.

1 fp/avi stat doesn't necessarily = 1% dmg increase

[boreal wagon]

what nnt said is more accurate

[hoary relic]

And efficiency only affect to rld time right?

[boreal wagon]

efficiency is also a damage modifier

[polar lion]

Which part that I got wrong?

[hoary relic]

thought it only affect rld time

[boreal wagon]

it has nothing to do with reload

[boreal wagon]

1 avi/fp is 1% increase in base dmg, 1% increase in fp/avi is not always a 1% damage increase overall

[keen sable]

Both but be careful what damage you are referring to.

[whole crypt]

unless you want to see the whole damage formula, very, very simply put the damage = weapon damage x slot eff x damage stat

the damage stat is scaled as 1 stat point = 1%

[polar lion]

Yea I'm referring to base dmg

[boreal wagon]

1% fp/avi would depend on how much fp/avi you already have then

[whole crypt]

note that formula is not actually accurate it's extremely truncated for simplicity

[wind hazel]

max them all, simple more damage

[hoary relic]

[boreal wagon]

ill max you

[wind hazel]

im already maxed

[hoary relic]

is that true that we will receive a promise ring every anniversary

[whole crypt]

they have not had an anniversary where they didn't hand one out yet

[boreal wagon]

(aka it is true but we dont know if it will stay true)

[whole crypt]

I actually don't know what stats I have left to level

I misclicked on tracker a while ago and gave up updating

[hoary relic]

[whole crypt]

should be correct now...

[forest palm]

where's the TRP Talent

[woven star]

Heh even lil versions there

[whole crypt]

that's as much as you can pack on an edelweiss unless you drop RLD

[forest palm]

nah I know

[woven star]

Ar yu searching tech stats?

[gray grove]

Hello , I don't know if there is a pattern on how th devs release UR ships , but is there any UR ships coming soon? Or major event

[forest palm]

typically 4 New Gacha UR per year

[whole crypt]

I'm not searching, that's literally the ships I have left

[inland shoal]

I wouldn't fully trust any patterns, but I think if we extrapolate from the last years we should get a new UR at the end of May or sth

[whole crypt]

UR schedules are probably stable if they don't announce any changes

[gray grove]

Thanks

Is it always better saving all pulls for ur ships?

[forest palm]

it's been 4 new gacha URs for the last like what...3 or so years at this point

[woven star]

OK. Just to know mu and lil versions have no tech. Same as colab. I've not seen in ur dock

[inland shoal]

Hmm at first maybe, later you will usually gain enough cubes to pull on all events
However in between events only 1 light pull a day

[whole crypt]

I know they have no tech it's why those ships are left

[forest palm]

if you don't care for collection, some events have Lv 120 Tech ships that may be valuable for end game grind

[gray grove]

Oh I see

What about skins? Are they on rotations depending on the season?

[whole crypt]

until you have spare cubes, new URs are probably going to be more impactful than most other ships in the year

[inland shoal]

They're a bit weird. But there's black friday where they (almost) all return together

[gray grove]

Oo nice

I hope some of the skins i want get rerun soon

[forest palm]

Black Friday kind of has a, I think, 4 month stipulation within that period any skins released won't return, but prior to it is free game

[boreal wagon]

skins before june of same year yes

[inland shoal]

(Except collab skins obviously)

[gray grove]

Oh also this is a bit weird but dock expansion and dorm stuff cost so much gems , does the game actually give u alot without the need of spending

[woven star]

Interesting what about some lewd skins in this year which suppose to limited

[inland shoal]

As f2p it's a bit tight, but you get enough yes

[gray grove]

I think the best value I saw so far is the 8 dollar monthly it's pretty good

[inland shoal]

Well the skins that were banned also won't return unless they're unbanned

Though you're advised to only get 3 dorm slots and 2nd floor as f2p

[gray grove]

I did that

My dock at 200 , tbh I log in on major events and never pay attention since like 2018

But now I realize I'm super. Clueless

[woven star]

Heh. Gl. My 340 and I skip/retire a lot

[inland shoal]

2018 and dock at 200, that's respectable in its own way

[gray grove]

So about the collection, when u obtain a ship u never had it counts in the collection status or what ever. , what if u retire the ship does that go away

[inland shoal]

No

You also keep whatever tech you got from the ship

[gray grove]

Honestly I play like once a year then delete th game , but man the skins I saw recently motivated something inside me

Specially shinano I forgot her name the UR ship I AM DOWN BAD I NEED HER

Kinda mad I missed her

[woven star]

Her skin banned. If we talk about same

[gray grove]

Her other one is also very nice

O yea about th banned skins , when u buy them u keep them right

[plain saffron]

it's not reallt banned

it's taken down from shop early, you keep it, it's not removed, it's not altered in any way

[gray grove]

How early

[plain saffron]

i don't remember specifically

[gray grove]

So what i make out of this is basically most intractable skins are gonna be taken down from the shop early

[plain saffron]

what you make out of it is nothing

it happened once, on few skins over dozens of interactable skins

it may happen again, it may not

might new skin, might be old skin

[gray grove]

Alright thanks i'll keep that inmind

[plain saffron]

like we got Chien Wu skin right after that and nothing happens

nothingeverhappens.png

[hollow gust]

Why are you using shouhou and Arizona

[paper walrus]

Should i buy this? I saw that champy gun has higher priority but i have 0 bps from it and i can at least craft this one. Should i just buy champy anyway

[woven star]

Maybe cos nothing else have

[woven star]

Champy easy to sync with Helena

This gun almost unusable except maybe pvp

[polar lion]

Champy highest prio if u haven't got at least 3

So save the protocores to buy all the bps next month

[paper walrus]

🙏

[hollow gust]

that is the bottom bottom of the prio list

there is like Tenrai Quad152 and the hinden gun before you even think about 457

[hollow gust]

tf?

And no its not because the 457 is a bad gun

[woven star]

As I said almost. Some exceptions. But usually champy prior

[hollow gust]

457 is used EVERYWHERE in campaign

[eager mulch]

did someone say 457 bad?

[woven star]

Campy and second one don't remember the name
