[subtle herald]

is nakhimov/general dr ships only really useful at mlb

[stark quiver]

dr tanks are fine at less than d30

[whole crypt]

tanks in general get most of their bulk by d25 that's all

[whole crypt]

all research ships want d30, not just DR, it's equivalent of MLB so most of them miss a big chunk of power without it

[ivory pawn]

Nahki does get all her aircraft at D25 so she's "usable", but you still really want D30.

[stark quiver]

fleet tech diff

[hollow gust]

nahk without tech will make percy look normal

[subtle herald]

man
the blueprint grind is terrible

[little tree]

[forest palm]

blueprint grind is easy, just research better

[eager mulch]

[little tree]

[vivid sonnet]

is volga obtainable vis special pool??

[weary gust]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Volga
You can check ship availability on the wiki.

[little tree]

Wiki says Limited

[vivid sonnet]

they ticked the special which i assume is added

[little tree]

Available in Limited Construction during the Abyssal Refrain event Not sure if she is Perma yet

[vivid sonnet]

but in game doesnt say so

[soft raft]

She is in the permanent special pools yes

But DO NOT pull permanent heavy/special since events regularly take from those two pools

[soft raft]

That event has been archived for like at least a month or two now

[vivid sonnet]

so she in perma

[narrow temple]

hello

do i have shit team ? i dont how to make a good team

[rain vine]

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

[nocturne glade]

is fdg worth 125ing?

only have 3 ur bbs including her atm

[wind hazel]

if you're lacking UR BBs yeah, usually worth for newer players

[nocturne glade]

I see, guess its probably worth then. Ty!

[eager mulch]

[normal cedar]

for skill exp for meta ships, can we choose 2 ships to get exp at same time? its showing both nevada and helena getting skill exp for me.
in that case, is the exp halfed or something?

[sweet delta]

full exp

[honest sequoia]

Would Kearsage avp and Yorktown II work together

[normal cedar]

is the rate at which they gain skill exp fixed for each ship differently or does it depend on the skill lvl?

helena seems to gain way more than yamashiro say

[dreamy blade]

both im pretty sure, they get a certain amount of xp per "mission" and skills take xp to level like normal skills

[elfin hollow]

Is there a TL DR for submarines? I’m w14 and I still don’t have a proper sub fleet

[dreamy blade]

tldr is if you have flasher use flasher/albacore/archerfish, if not then use u96/u81 + pick 37/47/101

[vapid igloo]

is there any of the gear here worth getting

[dreamy blade]

double bidders and snorkel + hull design

[rain vine]

/coredata

[vapid igloo]

thanks

[odd root]

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

[late flame]

probably conditions on skills levelling, e.g.

fishpack has a slight edge (more oxy, can stay in fight longer) but yeah flasher isnt available right now.
otherwise they peform similarly

[elfin hollow]

Could I make u101 work

[dreamy blade]

yes esp with her aug

the core is 96+81 and the 3rd is any of the ones i listed

[elfin hollow]

I’ll just send my ss

[dreamy blade]

missing 81 kinda hurts but you can make wolfpack with any 3 of those u subs

[elfin hollow]

Thank you

[dreamy blade]

96 + pick 2

[elfin hollow]

Is oathing subs worth it?

[dreamy blade]

[late flame]

if you are f2p, no

[elfin hollow]

Alright then

Now I’ve run into an issue how do I obtain submarine gear, this is really disappointing because I’m level 114 and I still have not a clue

[wind hazel]

do the daily raid sub lv65, farm the purple gear until you can craft your bidders or g7es

[late flame]

bidders is submarine weekly RNG
snorkel, hull design is coredata shop
secondary gun is usually whatever

[tawdry halo]

hi chat, is there any good SR I could yoink with the PVP merits?

[tawdry halo]

you have the Heavydable

[vapid igloo]

would i want to get these? I don't really have any sub options besides u96 which i just got, so i may hold off on getting the torps for now

[late flame]

you'd want 3 of each to outfit a BB comp yes

[vapid igloo]

ok

[honest stirrup]

"getting the torps"
Not sure what you mean by this, but if I'm right, I should remind you that the UR torp in that shop isn't a sub torp

[vapid igloo]

oh it isnt?

[honest stirrup]

It's an auxiliary that heavily increases TRP stat

[wind hazel]

it's an aux, but it's also not a priority

[vapid igloo]

o

[stark quiver]

i mean yea

[wind hazel]

it can be a sub's aux tho

[honest stirrup]

It can, but most people just use snorkel and improved design

[vapid igloo]

is there a point where hard mode is guaranteed to drop t3 blueprints or is it just a random chance

[wind hazel]

if they are using 101 then they can use the oxytorp

[vapid igloo]

besides clearing them and getting the rewards

[late flame]

its usually used for pvp uh torp memes

[vapid igloo]

praise be

[stark quiver]

what would a good torp meme cat look like?

[wind hazel]

flame+the ukraine flag talent i guess lol

and trp

[stark quiver]

I have whatever this abomination is
But then I realized torp memes don’t use dds as much

[late flame]

was doing a search and saw something like this (i don't do cats so..)
#gameplay-help message

[vapid igloo]

so uh for now probably warspite and howe? i haven't been leveling warspite's skills but im still going to be using her until i get to w12

for the shells

[wind hazel]

i'd rather use hood and howe

but you might as well, just 10 more level for tech

[vapid igloo]

for what

[wind hazel]

for +2hit

[late flame]

lv120 warspite +2hit

[vapid igloo]

oh

[wind hazel]

why are there two warspite

[late flame]

3

[vapid igloo]

i dunnot hats weird

[wind hazel]

i ignore the lv1

[stark quiver]

also would a torpmeme loadout favour teatorps or shima torpz

[late flame]

if i had to guess probably used for comm and forgor (i had a few such cases but retired them all eventually)

[vapid igloo]

oh yea thats probably it

[late flame]

i only used teatorps based on pvp pinned loadout

got that aotn and didnt really bother ever since lol

[rapid grail]

#pvp mentioned???

[nocturne glade]

is gold twin128 fine on harbin?

[dreamy blade]

yes

[woven star]

You definitely want 3 white and maybe 2 black. Depends on how many HPFCR you have and what ship

[sinful escarp]

honestly i buy those 2 shells whenever i can

[stark quiver]

Is there a way to 1:1
13-3h

[tawdry halo]

what is maritime's attack in Akashi's quest chat?

[blissful hamlet]

should I +13 my 4th la9?

[wind hazel]

if you can afford to

[dreamy blade]

wait for the new UR DDG from cn anni

[normal cedar]

whats the difference between safe and off tank in vanguard? where do helena and laffey go in that case

[storm heron]

there's a new UR DDG?

[undone plover]

off tank takes 2nd most dmg
u want squishiest ship to be in center usually
there are some ships that need to be off tank for certain skills

I would put laffey off tank and helena middle in your case
u want helena to survive cuz her scan is cracked

[blissful hamlet]

that person is trolling

[normal cedar]

I see, also what does buffer battle ship mean?

[undone plover]

a buffer anything (including Battleship) means most of their contribution in a fight comes from their strong buffs as opposed to personal dmg

altho it is not a term we commonly use for battleships here so not sure what the context is here

[dreamy blade]

im assuming vanguard

[normal cedar]

this

[dreamy blade]

kimo

[undone plover]

ah... yeah fair enough vanguard is mainly a buffer as opposed to the other UR battleships but her own dmg is still pretty decent

it is good u are double checking stuff here
dont trust youtube videos about azur lane blindly
for example vanguard going perma does not mean u should waste cubes trying to get her

[dreamy blade]

i suppose duke of york could also be considered a (de)buffer battleship

[blissful hamlet]

this statement only true at the time vanguard was initially released

[normal cedar]

yes ofc, I asked about that already here so I wont put cubes in perma
so she buff battleships or shes called buffer battleship because she is a bb herself

[blissful hamlet]

both

[undone plover]

well his statement said BB buffer so in that sense she buffs BBs
but she is also a BB herself

[normal cedar]

Ok, thanks a lot!!

[twilit sage]

borrowed someone's musashi, i did not know the difference is this huge in damage output...

[worldly pewter]

[undone plover]

if this is the guild boss that is because musashi dmg leans towards heavy and the guild boss is heavy armor
but also it depends on gear
this screenshot doesnt show what gear they are using

[twilit sage]

im using 457

[undone plover]

457 is actually decent vs the guild boss
I think radar + champy might also work but idr tbh
U can try it on NJ and see if it has any difference

but going back to initial point
Musashi excels in this fight

[twilit sage]

mine and his

but again musashi is known for heavy boss fight

[undone plover]

yeah I think there is a gun diff here causing this disparity
especially if the fight ends when both fire 2 salvo
did NJ get 3rd salvo or did fight finish?

[woven star]

I have 3 black and about 4 white. and at the point of game when I don't have many options for black so I used them on BBs which I leveling otherwise HPFCR to get one more shot at the end on metas bosses

[twilit sage]

NJ got 3rd salvo right beofore it end

but the damage went out for sure

well hopefully can get Musashi after it is added to the game

unless JP anni made a better BB

[undone plover]

she is in line to perma next iirc

but yeah focus on new events and ships more
U will get her at some point

[twilit sage]

yeah after Vanguard, is Vanguard still need atp?

[woven star]

Musashi gun feels good on Alsace on guild boss but often I skip this kind of build for that. Regular option fine

[twilit sage]

im trying to avoid pulling standard banner so i saved enough cube for future UR and limited Gold for tech points

[undone plover]

she is still top 5 BB
the problem with all UR ships is the lack of UR bulins
I would save UR bulins for new ships first
come back when u have the perma pity choice to make and when u have 4 bulins to MLB then ask who to use them on

[undone plover]

pulling standard is never worth

[twilit sage]

i can buy 5 bullins rn but idk if it is worth it

[sinful escarp]

unless its 1 pull per day, its not worth it to pull on standard

[undone plover]

of these implacable is highest prio to MLB
can use 3 on her and u will get 2 more for next month so u can MLB new UR in may

[woven star]

maybe impla. cos she can be in any team while nano heavy and york2 light

[twilit sage]

i heard that, my current problem is that idk how/ when to use implacable, this is my current comp, however, I dont believe I had a dedicated "Boss comp" for that i just throw in my strongest unit + Helena and called it a day

[woven star]

if you swap Raff with York2 you'll get full light cv team

fleet 1 looking weird

[undone plover]

well assuming this is for campaign take kearsarge out
put raffa in flag and put implacable instead

and put helena in boss not mob

u want kearsarge dev30 (full stars) before u use her

[woven star]

ah, campaign, my bad

[twilit sage]

My current usage is that I use Fleet 2 for lv:1-2 mob, and Fleet 1 for Lv:3 and boss fight for main campaign

[undone plover]

use fleet 1 for all mobs
and fleet 2 only for boss
U are overcomplicating it

[sinful escarp]

up until what world in the campaign did you clear?

[twilit sage]

12-3 currently, been slacking since I returned to this game last year Nov

[worldly pewter]

i honestly am amazed how u understood it

[sinful escarp]

honestly with your fleet you only reason you cant clear w12-4 is gear

[undone plover]

btw u might as well put raffa in mob as well and NJ in boss

[woven star]

and idk Fritz look not so good for mobing if you use HVAR. otherwise idk what else. NJ and Uni fine for mobs but Fritz imho single targeted cv for bossing

[twilit sage]

No I can clear it I’m pretty sure it just I was trying to manage oil

[undone plover]

fritz is really good for campaign in general
I dont know where u see the HVAR
but yeah if u have HVAR on her remove it for campaign

[twilit sage]

Fritz is in fact using HVAR +Skyraider

[woven star]

just guessing

[twilit sage]

I didn’t have 2 HVAR

[undone plover]

hvar and skyraider are used for single target bossing mainly
especially light armor (and sometimes skyraider for medium)
just give her normal fighter and normal parallel torpedo or any dive bomber it should be fine

[worldly pewter]

u know how to use hvar ?

[woven star]

helcat and what else second slot

[undone plover]

I think ppl were syaing DB is best for campaign
so just use 500 lb bomber + helldiver for now

[twilit sage]

What’s DB

[undone plover]

dive bomber
fritz 2nd slot is flex (u can use any type of plane in it)
the question is what is best and tbh I am not sure
but I think using a dive bomber/torpedo bomber is best

[woven star]

Hellcat (or Flapjack if you have. idk how relevant they now)+ Barracuda imho fine for campaign mobs

same setup as Unicorn

[twilit sage]

[normal cedar]

is this the rarest in-game depot item? (rarest since time limited and the most expensive?)
did this actually appear in the depot?

[plain saffron]

It's not time limited, you can change ring to tiara anytime

[normal cedar]

oh so you only need to have the collab ships
it doesnt appear in the depot then ig

[plain saffron]

Idr about appear in depot

[rustic osprey]

Got 2 wyverns so what should I be building now from gearlab

Is the ur ca gun useful?

[undone plover]

yeah it is overall the most used one tbh

oh wait hold on sry I misunderstood your question

dont craft the one in gear lab u have a better one already
the one in gearlab is too expensive for what it does
U can also grab a copy from the prototype shop

[rustic osprey]

Ok

Should I be crafting this gun? Heard maybe mention it, Is it good?

[undone plover]

craft a tenrai if u want
or hold on to T2/T3 ordnance reports

craft the new UR aa gun when u have enough AA designs
the USS one https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Twin_76mm_RF_Mk_37_Gun_Mount#Type_0-0

[undone plover]

get it with protocore
it is much cheaper that way

get 2 copies

[rustic osprey]

It can be bought with protocore?

[undone plover]

yes
protoshop buy pr3 designs

[rustic osprey]

Iam broke there

I had bought most of tenrai through protocore actually

[rustic osprey]

What is that gun useful for anyway

[undone plover]

best gun vs medium/heavy bosses

[rustic osprey]

Ok damn

So I gotta craft that, I see that I can buy the previous gun from it from the core shop, makes it cheaper that way

Otherwise I won't have enough circuits to craft it

[undone plover]

honestly I would just buy it from protoshop

[rustic osprey]

My broke ass can't

[polar lion]

What is this?

[honest stirrup]

A collab can't oath as per collab contract so they're avoiding it by replacing oath rings by this tiara

[polar lion]

Oo

[honest stirrup]

I don't recall which collab exactly though, I think it's the idolmaster or smth?

[undone plover]

analyze your combat data packs

[rapid grail]

ah yes the idolmaster tiaras. Worst collab at the time lmaooooooooo

[undone plover]

and excess blueprints that u have
do u have any catchup left?

[rustic osprey]

Iam also broke there

[rapid grail]

imas management insisted on tiaras instead of rings for their collab. to this day there is no rerun for them

[rustic osprey]

Excess blueprints can be used?

[undone plover]

excess ship blueprints past dev30 yes
but the ship has to be dev30 already

[rapid grail]

likely for that and some other reasons

[polar lion]

The Tiara looks beautiful tho

[rustic osprey]

New knowledge

[undone plover]

is she FS5?

[honest stirrup]

The box has been ticked

[undone plover]

shimanto FS5 is actually good

[rustic osprey]

Yup I use her

[rapid grail]

should be fine to analyze excess blueprints after fs5

[undone plover]

mr attention to detail here

[rapid grail]

not like they adding fs10 soon

[honest stirrup]

There's literally no reason NOT to analyse after FS5

[undone plover]

also u didnt answer about catchup

[polar lion]

hoarder mentality

[rustic osprey]

What catchup

[undone plover]

using old catchup (pr1-3) for protocore is recommended

[rustic osprey]

Yes I haven't done any catchup below pr 4

[undone plover]

use gold to max a ship to dev30
THEN use the catchup and analyze the blue prints
dont worry about FS5 for those ships
Protocore is more important

[rustic osprey]

Gotcha

[rustic osprey]

[polar lion]

Hey Issa fancy seeing u here

[rustic osprey]

Hi hi

[woven star]

maybe you have Triple 380mm (Mle 1935 Prototype) it's fine equivalent of that gun

[soft raft]

Yesnt
that's a timing sidegrade that's only avaliable in PR6 researches right now

and if they dont have Champy guns yet then I doubt they're in a position to prioritize PR6 either

[woven star]

stop isn't it cheaper bought Quadruple 380mm (Mle 1935) for 800 cores and forge in lab? protocores feels more expensive

[honest stirrup]

PR6

[undone plover]

I dont think so tbh
coredata is better spent on other stuff
and T2 ordnance is always good to have

it is not the worst thing to craft but it is very very cheap for protocore (only 375)

[honest stirrup]

Not sure if the triple 380mm is a better option, but it's Flandre's gun, a PR6 ship. Since they have Shimanto at FS5 and some more blueprints, it's more than likely that they have enough for one

[woven star]

PR6 and that why I ask him maybe if he focusing on Kear or Hindenburg which still not coinable he can have some blue prints

[rustic osprey]

Iam focused on pr7

I have completed both kear and hind at dev 30

[woven star]

so maybe you already have that gun

[rustic osprey]

Which one is flandre gun

[honest stirrup]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_380mm_(Mle_1935_Prototype)

short ass barreled one

[rustic osprey]

No I don't have that

Or lemme check

[woven star]

not gun, blue prints but anyway

[soft raft]

Honestly would still reccomend you get at most 3 champy guns anyways

[honest stirrup]

No way you have all PR6 ships max dev but can't get even 1 Flandre gun

I have enough prints to build 5 of them and only Shimanto is max dev (I know it could depend on what researches but 75% of my researches has been cognition)

[woven star]

I found in some setups having flandre gun can be useful at least one

[honest stirrup]

Man you have 4 of them wdym you don't have that

[rustic osprey]

Didn't know that's called flandre gun lol

Or iam just confused

[honest stirrup]

I sent a wiki link, and the embed should have given you the image of the gun anyways

Well, whatever 🤷

Also you do have a Champy gun, 1 is already enough for a lot of usage

[soft raft]

it's called that cuz it's the gun she uses/uses in World Of Warships
That's how alot of Gun nicknames in this game work tbh

[rustic osprey]

Just got that from protoshop

[honest stirrup]

oh ok

[rustic osprey]

My brain wasn't braining

[hushed delta]

anyone got the list of the possible next URs? (based on WoWs)

[soft raft]

Closest you can get ig is asking in #al-lore which UR Candidates exist for a specific nation

[honest stirrup]

You mean #al-lore had any possibility to predict things like Rumey?

[honest stirrup]

conjectures are as far as you can get

[hushed delta]

oh I think WoWs can only predict next pr/dr ships, not regular URs

[rapid grail]

🔮

all useless and irrelevant

come back in july for your answer

[honest stirrup]

what happens is that PR/DR ships are ships invented by WoWs, coming into the game through collabs
Normal UR and SR are (supposed to be) real ships, or at least projects/concepts born during WWII or slightly after. WoWS have nothing to do with them

[hushed delta]

any server playing in July's patch?

ok thx all bb

[normal cedar]

I just finished opsi chapter 4 and I'm very confused, whats this 5k oil thing and where can I buy it?
Also how do you get these exchange vouchers
are there any reccomended settings for strategic search?

[sinful escarp]

exchange vouchers are given at the start of every month. so if you just finished opsi rn you can only get vouchers next month

rush through all opsi campaign then clear everything you can

[normal cedar]

ok, also, it says adaptability resets per season, does that mean this becomes 0 at start of each month

[hushed delta]

all becomes 0 but you can buy the logger for 5k oil and get 90 on all stats each month

[normal cedar]

if you mean hidden zone data logger then thats for 1000 vouchers, not oil?

[hushed delta]

and with enough vouchers you can start with 150 on all

[sinful escarp]

the 5k oil thingie gives that

the 1k voucher logger will let you auto hidden zones without having to do recon

[normal cedar]

so I gotta buy this each month? also where is it, I cant find it in resupply nor exchange shop

[hushed delta]

you have to finish Opsi storyline I think

[sinful escarp]

you dont have to buy them, it just makes opsi more afk-able

[normal cedar]

oh ok, I'll finish up the story then
last question, how many vouchers do we get each month for clearing all of opsi?

[sinful escarp]

depends on how many things you get in opsi

some items from there are exchanged as points

those arent the only ones, there are others

[hushed delta]

depends on how much you play and if you are able to defeat the arbiter boss, but with around 9k vouchers you can buy all the shop each month

[zenith heron]

The only ones that won't be converted I think are Action Points

[honest stirrup]

Note that you're very often better off using the opsi currencies than holding them off to get the vouchers. Worst case scenario you just don't buy voucher shop at all and you'll be fine

[honest stirrup]

That's a fuck ton
It seems a few words have come out of me out of control

[hushed delta]

playing everyday gets you far above the needed 9k

[normal cedar]

do I need to buy hidden zone logger every month? or its one time only

[sinful escarp]

every month, some same with the 5k oil thingie

[normal cedar]

what do you mean some, there is only one

[hushed delta]

I guess some players don't buy them, but it's highly recommendable

[normal cedar]

this thing? you cant auto without this right why wont they buy it then

[honest stirrup]

You can't auto Hidden zones without that one

[sinful escarp]

you can still auto them

just gotta do this when you enter every hidden zone

[late flame]

i buy both loggers every month since i'm lazy

[normal cedar]

im even more confused now, what is this then I thought this autos it

[late flame]

yeah you can only auto those maps when logger is active

[honest stirrup]

If you bought the logger, use it from your storage

[normal cedar]

I didnt buy it since I dont have any vouchers...

[honest stirrup]

So there's no problem?
You didn't buy it, so you can't use it, so it's telling you to unlock by purchasing it

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Operation_Siren#Data_Loggers

[woven star]

there is coordinates for hiden map in your storage that voucher #gameplay-help message helps you to make it auto search

[late flame]

like so

[normal cedar]

Oh, I see
Thanks! I think I understood some of it now, will try out things in opsi and finish story to understand more

[woven star]

Like these

as for me voucher for 5k oil as for rich players so i skip it every month. but hidden zones very useful

unless you have so much oil so don't know where it use

[honest sequoia]

nah just buy that OpSi data logger

[normal cedar]

I get that much oil but only on monday maybe I can buy it then if its necessary

[honest sequoia]

buy it with the weekly free 4k oil
so technically you only spent 1k oil on the data logger

[late flame]

i usually offset that oil with one of the weekly rewards yup
its worth it to me since i can just load ap and essentially auto opsi (using pc emulator) while i sleep

[honest sequoia]

yes use that free 4k oil to buy it

[polar lion]

U guys hav oil?

[woven star]

I used 4k oil for 12-4 leveling ships, I used opsi map for leveling ships... so everything in exp. it's an owner deals

[twilit sage]

Brest will come home tomorrow morning

[hushed delta]

how do you change maps while sleeping? scripts? sus

[normal cedar]

doesn't strategic search do that for you? it has an option for repeat on same map or choose random..?

its only for secured though ig

[wind hazel]

not stopping for akashi

[sinful escarp]

akashi means more AP= more runs in opsi=more mats= more gold plates

[honest sequoia]

that depends if she sells u AP boxes or special token

[honest stirrup]

All that matters is that she can sell AP boxes and special tokens

[hushed delta]

can someone tell me?

[wind hazel]

bagura answered you

but you gotta skip akashi in order to do that

which is not what you usually would want

and sometimes it would get stopped anyway

[honest stirrup]

isn't it fun to leave Opsi for 3 hours only to come back seeing your fleet stuck between your other fleets because of EMP traps?

[normal cedar]

Do I need to have level 125 ships to finish opsi? I'm at one of the inner red zones (NA ocean depths E) at opsi chapter 5-4 and I cant seem to beat the boss fleets there who are level 118. Below is my fleet

[rustic osprey]

47 oils left

[undone plover]

u generally want your fleet to be around same level as enemy
also opsi has another thing called adaptive tuning which makes enemy stronger if u dont have enough

[rustic osprey]

What else do u have?

[undone plover]

u still have 2 weeks before month is over
U can come back to these hard zones later
For now do the easier zones

[rustic osprey]

Also what a lvl 120 Pennys doing there

[normal cedar]

maryland, saratoga, perseus, scylla, cleveland, phoenix (all around level 75, mlb)

[spiral fjord]

what non UR vanguard ships are worth levelling?

[rustic osprey]

That's too low to be working there

[eager mulch]

Helena

[rustic osprey]

Helena, unicorn

Unicorn is goat

[normal cedar]

I dont use them in battle, I just passively leveled them
Do I need 2 fleets for opsi battles? (harder ones)

[rustic osprey]

Just focus on one rn

[spiral fjord]

Ive already levelled them, any other ships?

[rustic osprey]

Eh lemme check from mine

Kazagumo

She's super good

[strange fable]

Hello, are there any sources that list all guild boss info?

[rustic osprey]

There's also independence, u can get her from core shop

[hollow gust]

Independence is frontline

[rustic osprey]

Forgot he was asking for vanguard

[wind hazel]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/bosses?term=guild

[hollow gust]

You shouldn't really be fighting any guilds boss other then the rightmost right

[normal cedar]

wait why? my guild is fighting purifier rn..

[hollow gust]

Cause the hardest one gives the best rewards ,

[rustic osprey]

Sometimes it also depends on if ur guild has enough funds to FIGHT the hardest boss

[hollow gust]

You don't have to kill bosses in order to beat the boss

[strange fable]

my guild fights every one, even tho i play this game from 2019 i absolutely pay no attention to it til now

[normal cedar]

Ohh I see
my guild only has like 10 members so we prolly broke

[rustic osprey]

The harder the more it costs

[hollow gust]

It's gold plates a month , just enough to be important

[rustic osprey]

10 members is more than enough if they are active

[normal cedar]

um 7 of them havent logged in more than 50 days

[wind hazel]

find a new guild

[rustic osprey]

We are only 4 and we manages

[normal cedar]

I see, ig if 4 active and well leveled users are there then they can manage
Ill find a new guild with more members for now

[hollow gust]

4 isn't enough to clear two of the hardest bosses a month , you are very likely missing out

[rustic osprey]

Well takes longer time than other guilds but we clears it out

So no we are not missing out

[mellow cape]

Any idea of the next event?

[rustic osprey]

Frostfall rerun

[mellow cape]

Any equipment I should be worried about for that event

[hollow gust]

Frostfire rerun and radiant court perma

[rustic osprey]

Iam getting a 2nd vanguard

I fucked up my first one, she goes faster than all my other bbs

[hollow gust]

A full oath and enhance vanguard is perfectly usable

[strange fable]

isnt that good? she debuffs right?

[rustic osprey]

Mine isn't oath, and then why is mine fucking up

[mellow cape]

Gear probably

[hollow gust]

A non oathed and full enhance vanguard is still not a issue

[rustic osprey]

Mb limit break is the issue

Mine isn't mlb

[strange fable]

Im confused, you want her to shoot slower than others?

[hollow gust]

Then wait till she is

[mellow cape]

MLB... 😭

[rustic osprey]

My 3rd bb doesn't get to make use of the buff

[strange fable]

Your 3rd BB shoots >6 seconds after VG?

[hollow gust]

vanguard buff is a 6s proc time, how is your 3rd BB volly outside of that

[rustic osprey]

Becuz she's too fast

[strange fable]

whats her FR time at if you dont mind me asking

[wind hazel]

i mean you're using non mlb vanguard... and probably different gun from the sound of it

[rustic osprey]

15 smth

[wind hazel]

equal levels?

[hollow gust]

15????

[wind hazel]

15?

[strange fable]

15? oh how i wish that to be mine

[hollow gust]

what tf gun you using

🤮

[wind hazel]

that gun is pure crap lol

[rustic osprey]

Someone told me that's the best gun for her

[strange fable]

behead that someone

[wind hazel]

someone trolled you

[hollow gust]

50/50 chance its a IB fan

[rustic osprey]

[mellow cape]

LOL the visceral reaction is pretty funny

[rustic osprey]

Iam annihilating this gun

[mellow cape]

Is the new submarine augment worth making for u101

[wind hazel]

ye

makes her better than 37 47

[rustic osprey]

Peace

[strange fable]

sweet mama of plates

[mellow cape]

Is there an updated meta submarine fleet?

[hollow gust]

its still fishes

[rustic osprey]

What should I be using on her

[mellow cape]

Really wtf

[strange fable]

you can start from this, or what mori said

[wind hazel]

mk6/7 vs light
champy gun vs med or heavy

[mellow cape]

This one right?

[rustic osprey]

Ok just made one today

[mellow cape]

I'm surprised the Fisher pack is that strong even after all these u augment have been coming out

[wind hazel]

UR u-boat will make IB great again

[hollow gust]

if you have any of the decent sub fleets there is no real reason to swap, they are wll within a range of each other anyway

[rustic osprey]

I should be hoarding kearsurges extra bps for now right

[strange fable]

she aight :D

[hollow gust]

you always save enough for fate 5

[rustic osprey]

Gotcha

[paper walrus]

what does ex and sp stand for

[woven star]

Kear like some other guns if you want champy for she

[hollow gust]

not really what they are talking about

[rustic osprey]

What gun she likes

[woven star]

I know he has few flandre and champy gun. So noticed that she has diff

[woven star]

Med/heav 457 or rus gun, and mk6 for light

[rustic osprey]

Iam using mk6 on her rn

What's rus gun

[paper walrus]

and is there any stage that has a priority for grinding

[rustic osprey]

Ex can stand for extreme I think

[rustic osprey]

So sp can be special

[strange fable]

and sp can stand for special because you are special

[normal cedar]

Major events are grouped under E.X., smaller events with only SP maps are grouped under S.P for war archive

[paper walrus]

[woven star]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_406mm_(MK-1)#tabber-tabpanel-Type_3-0 but imho Twin 457mm (Mark A Prototype) better

[hollow gust]

EX is just the single boss fight
SP is harder version the normal event maos

[rustic osprey]

I will just keep using 457 then

[hollow gust]

kearsarge and yorktown shouldnt be fighting heavy or medium these days, no reason to use AP anyway

[rustic osprey]

Oh yea I hearing about some super power light fleet

Kear, Yorktown and frinz right

My York isn't mlb sadly

[hollow gust]

i wont use it

[rapid niche]

Out of the past META dossier analyses available, what would be a good first one to start with? The selection is Helena, Jintsuu, Algerie, Gneisenau, Scharnhorst, Repulse, Renown, Arizona, Queen Elizabeth, Hiryuu, Ark Royal, and Souryuu

[woven star]

Jintsuu pvp

[weary gust]

Jintsuu is the only one used for anything at all anymore (most were never useful to begin with)

[woven star]

maybe for tech points. or just get them all with 0lb for +1 hp tech

but without deep investments

[rapid niche]

Gotcha, good to know. Thank you! I'll start with Jintsuu then and just get them for tech points as needed, then.

[normal cedar]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleet_technology
this fleet tech guide doesn't mention eagle union, any idea about good tech point ships to mlb for eu? (preferably war archive farmable or shop obtainable)

for researching ships, not for stats

[woven star]

any ship what you have EU... SanD, York2, Laffey or Laff2...etc

Enterprise, Helena, Independence, Saratoga any good ships which you will use in future

[normal cedar]

already did enterprise, laffey, helena, portland, pennsylvania(120 as well for her), maryland, saratoga, phoenix, cleveland
what do players generally do? do they not target any specific ships like with ironblood or other factions?

[woven star]

this guide focused on good research ships some of them are base for another ships. so just some regular fraction like EU not mentioned there

what for EU? Anchorage... idk what else

[normal cedar]

im at 550 points rn, and yes anchorage indeed, portland is starting to fall off (takes lots of damage even with unicorn retro) at higher end opsi content...

[woven star]

and you have base guide like Peni, Portland, Laffey if you followed there you don't need to focused on that

[woven star]

level up them to 120

or mlb low rate ships

like Cleveland or some others

many of them drops from map so no needs bulins

[normal cedar]

ok, thanks! ill 120 them first then go that route
also are georgia /seattle worth going for? they have lower tech points thresholds but i dont hear anyone talk about them

[woven star]

@normal cedarwhat chapter ar you now?

[normal cedar]

world 9, have unlocked 10 so will go there soon

opsi chapter 5-4

[woven star]

w9-4 Brooklyn, Phoenix, Long Island, Aulick, Foote, Spence, Omaha and so on drops on that map. some of them part of collections reward when you mlb them. But I have feeling you don't mlb you main fleet or some major ships from it. So just focus on what you already have

[normal cedar]

this is my main fleet for reference
thanks! I will go for those drops

[woven star]

Then focus on that. More likely EU ships. Some of them have nice gear reward and diamonds. And level up your fleet to 120

just in case, you don't need level up that low rare ships to 120. just mlb but unfortunately you'll need to get level 70 on them

[ivory pawn]

I’ll also add there’s some 4* options in the Guild Shop you can pick up and MLB for a decent chunk, most notably Colorado and Maryland. Remember to prioritize BBs and CVs when possible.

[normal cedar]

yes, thanks
I found Biloxi, Birmingham and arizona are also high points guild options
will go for oil cap farmable and guild mostly to reduce bulin reliance

[keen sable]

You need a lot of bulins and dupes for eu so you generally don't rush it.

[twin isle]

I can't play her dossier analysis, how can I start to play this?

[weary gust]

You have to do opsi to get the points for doing the attacks.

[twin isle]

I have 1400 points rn

[weary gust]

Then go to opsi META showdown menu and click to the dossier analysis window.

[woven star]

@normal cedar as I said some have juice reward. Don't rush and slowly decide what do first. Almost all if not all EU

[frank pulsar]

no, georgia has rng barrage and only mgm +1, seattle is just meh

[normal cedar]

I see, thanks

[frank pulsar]

georgia is worth doing if you need eu points and have no other sources though

[twin isle]

I wrongly selected helena meta ig, how can I change it to jintsuu meta ?

[viscid swift]

Finish that fight and then switch it to Jintsuu

[twin isle]

Ok

[sharp echo]

is this enough to max upgrade?
how many do i need?

[sweet delta]

Enough for the important part

[weary gust]

Enough for dev30, not for fs5

[sweet delta]

If you're on PR4 focus then switch away

[woven star]

You can tap on top BP Exchange button and see how many you need

[sharp echo]

what is fs?

cognition research also skip?

[sweet delta]

Skip all pr4 research

Your focus should be on 7, and then 4 won't even appear

[sharp echo]

oh just know fs is fate simulation, what is it?

[sweet delta]

Gives luck and upgrades skill(s)

For Anchorage, the skill upgrade is near worthless, so fs just gives her 15 luck

[sullen birch]

How can I get better xp for the lab ships ?
Should I use three ships from the same faction?

[sweet delta]

I mean three ships of the correct faction and type gives more exp than two ships

[sullen birch]

Ok

[sharp echo]

woops that mean i over do it xd

[twin isle]

I found a yt link seems really helpful to me but idk it s ok to share it here or not

[sullen birch]

Can she replace taihou?

And shyi do any changes in BB fleet

These are for operation siren fleet

Especially the UR BB ship arriving

[soft raft]

she would go to the mob fleet
especially since if she were to replace Taihou there, Shinano would lose her self buff as there wouldnt be enough Sakura ships to proc it

Indep is also a fast loader so she doesnt really play nice to syncing

[hot oriole]

How to find more high-quality gears?

And btw I don't know how to use Gear R&D properly

[soft raft]

alot of the best gear in the game is from gear lab
which you need to grind OpSi to get the materials for that

[hot oriole]

😭

[soft raft]

/equip give this a read too if you havent already

This is my mob fleet

[hot oriole]

Another grinding session?

[sullen birch]

ay
Same here lad
I'm grinding operation siren too

[soft raft]

She would replace VV there
Once she's raised and retrofited, of course

[hot oriole]

I'm currently in chapter 2 OpSi

[sullen birch]

Ok

[sullen birch]

I'm almost clread half of the map

[hot oriole]

So fast

[sullen birch]

Yeah
When you have mob fleet
They do be clearing good

[last swift]

Guys, what kind of guns should I put on San Diego?

[soft raft]

(Tho map clearing progression doesnt really correlate when you're pushing OpSi Story)

[hot oriole]

[soft raft]

That American Twin 127mm ig

[hot oriole]

I just use only 1 fleet

In OpSi, campaign grinding, ....

[sullen birch]

@soft raft what about BB fleet
Should I wait for the UR ship and also unlock Der fridec from the ship yard

[sullen birch]

I'm using this for her

[soft raft]

then dont bother switching off of that

[sullen birch]

I might craft the UR one
But I might use it on other ships

[soft raft]

Once you unlock FdG and get Vanguard raised, it'd prob be like
FdG/Musashi/Vanguard

Then Hood or Monarch can take Musashi's spot on mob

[sullen birch]

Ok
I will use monarch

[soft raft]

then yeah she would get the UR gun then you can give the other one to someone else

[sullen birch]

Would you like to see what I have equipment for them now

[soft raft]

nah

[sullen birch]

@soft raft these my Ur gear so far

[soft raft]

you honestly just hijacked someone else's question imma be real

[sullen birch]

Really?

Sorry about that

[last swift]

Guys, should I change Duisburg to San Diego?

[soft raft]

idk what content this is for but San Diego would be quite the improvement over Duisburg

[honest stirrup]

the answer is probably yes

[tame orchid]

Is beating the hard arbiter without cv oriented fleet impossible

[sweet delta]

Not impossible for me

[ivory pawn]

Impossible is just a bit too strong a word. Much more difficult perhaps.

[forest palm]

it's just a matter of bringing strong enough fleets you can do it with one, or four doesn't matter as long as you get the job done

[stark quiver]

its easily beatable with 3bb

[honest stirrup]

opsi

[sweet delta]

Hard arbiter is easy

[honest stirrup]

well, I used to constantly clear harbiter with 2 fleets of fully levelled ships with absolutely no synergy or even the slightest idea of how to make a decent comp

[forest palm]

subs are nice if you're lacking that extra bit of damage in Harb

[wary timber]

is the Franklin a good CV compared to others like maybe Graf Zeppelin or Taihou

[sweet delta]

She is about as good as Enterprise with expected luck

[stark quiver]

unlucky e

[wary timber]

what about Hornet II

[stark quiver]

averageish gold cv

[eager mulch]

[wary timber]

also is yorktown II better than or equal to Amagi or Shinano. im still working on leveling her up for frontline work

[stark quiver]

against what?

[wary timber]

assume my plane loadout changes depending on bosses

[eager mulch]

better vs light, worse vs heavy, medium idk amagi-chan

[stark quiver]

amagi nano is a better duo for med

[eager mulch]

[wary timber]

isnt that dependent if i use skyraiders

[eager mulch]

if your plane loadout changes depending on bosses then you’d be using skyraiders

[waxen valley]

Should I finish campaign before I do operation siren

[stark quiver]

u should do both

[eager mulch]

ideally you do opsi asap

[waxen valley]

Ah okay

[stark quiver]

nano and amagi have db slots
and might be better with la9s also

[wary timber]

yea i use Shinano and Amagi together

[waxen valley]

Can you only do so much op si a day

I’m not rly sure how it works lol

[soft raft]

As much AP as you have
Tho if you mean the META coordinates, you can only gain up to 200 per day

[waxen valley]

Ah okay thank you !!

[wary timber]

that reminds me.. is Hornet Meta considered light or medium armor cuz im using the BF109G,Skyraider and VIT-2 for a focused strike on my Implacable cuz i can

[honest sequoia]

Hornet meta is medium

[waxen valley]

What do I get from the opsi store

[honest sequoia]

Which store ur talking about?
Voucher ship or?

[honest sequoia]

And META ship armor type is the same as their original ship

[wary timber]

so technically the rocket planes im using would work tho the question would probaby be WHY

[honest sequoia]

Because BF109 is meant for medium armor?

[waxen valley]

The resupply

[wary timber]

what about the FW190 A-6/R6

[waxen valley]

Should I keep farming an area after it’s secured til it gets 5 star or secure new areas

[wary timber]

i got one of those sitting around for collection

[honest sequoia]

Buy everything except tuners if ur above 203/203/156

[honest sequoia]

Don’t farm for stars cuz that takes ages

Just farm secured C3 or C5

[waxen valley]

What does those numbers mean I’m sorry

[honest sequoia]

Adaptive tunings

[stark quiver]

it has bombs

[waxen valley]

Where do u check that

[stark quiver]

with less damage modifers than rockets

[wary timber]

i see. thanks.

[honest sequoia]

Right side, you see those numbers
That’s ur adaptive tuning

[honest sequoia]

Seems you haven’t unlocked OpSi fully I suggest that you progress the OpSi story first which is the red exclamation mark

[waxen valley]

The meta showdown?

Or the red area

[ivory pawn]

In this case, it's the green exclamation mark on your map.

[honest sequoia]

Meta showdown is different

[waxen valley]

Thank you

[honest sequoia]

^^

[honest sequoia]

Remember to clear those areas with that triangle icon

It gives you tuning lvls

[waxen valley]

Is this the right thing

[eternal basalt]

That's a puzzle

[honest stirrup]

Just go progress the best you can

[waxen valley]

Should I level up my corrosion level first cos that is higher than my current one

[weary gust]

Just follow the story missions

[waxen valley]

Okay thank you

What if my stuff dies

[eternal basalt]

Revive in port

[cobalt gate]

so any reason why the ship in the middle seems to die most frequent to torpedo?

i don't get it, thought it was the safest position

[woven star]

her level to others?

[cobalt gate]

same lvl

[woven star]

better show fleet composition

[honest stirrup]

If you have a triple CA comp they become very very vulnerable to torps

There could be a few other reasons why torps would hurt you, but middle should indeed be the safest

[woven star]

against torp if it's CA/CL washmashine (i.e. eva gear) can help

[woven star]

then not eva

[cobalt gate]

yeah

[honest stirrup]

Hunter has one of the worst eHP of the entire game so yep sorry not much you can do

[woven star]

and maybe Fargo~~ is it Fargo?~~ is not best tank option. idk

[cobalt gate]

oh wow thats pretty low

[weary gust]

Middle is the safest but it still takes damage. Will still get splashed by torpedo AOE if any ship in the vanguard gets hit. Since middle has the lowest hp usually, torpedoes are going to be the main way they die because of that splash damage and them having less hp.

[cobalt gate]

its just weird that she seems to be low hp while the other 2 units were around like 80 so wanted to confirm was middle the safest

[woven star]

is any reasons to use Hunter? seems this ship really bad

[cobalt gate]

just tech farming + affinilty lvling

[woven star]

and tech... but ok. ASW?

give 2 toolkits and hope for the best. some other ships can have something like shield or heal for her. so it's more about fleet composition

[cobalt gate]

gotcha

oh is she asw, hmm probably should switch her out then

[woven star]

heh 2 toolkits almost +100% of her hp

[waxen valley]

Do you have to do the puzzle to clear the area

[woven star]

or is it was meta? 1704 vs 1237 wtv

[woven star]

you can repeat few times same moves until game ask you to solve puzzles. or can try by own

[waxen valley]

Okay thanks

Should I do the meta showdown

[cobalt gate]

its free points and you can always ask for help

[honest stirrup]

You don't lose anything by doing it so sure

[fringe sail]

Chat, which UR exchange should I go? I already have NJ and Shimakaze so Shinano, Ulrich and Kronshtadt are the only remaining options

For reference I don't many strong ships on Vanguard so I'm considering Krons, some people said to get Shinano because she's OP, but i have an Implacable but I know that Shinano and Impla are very different on the stuffs they offer

I don't know which one to pick

[stark quiver]

do you have vanguard the battleship

[fringe sail]

nah

[stark quiver]

shes being added to perma pool next week
so just hold out for now

[fringe sail]

ohh so they add some UR in the exchange shop huh

[stark quiver]

the pity build exchange yea

[eager mulch]

spark

[fringe sail]

hmm, so I'm reading her info (vanguard) it looks like she fits both boss and mob fleet

[stark quiver]

shes a good buffer

[weary gust]

Are those ones you already have at mlb?

[fringe sail]

yes

well the stack of UR Bulin ang getting a duplicate of the two helped me

if i did not get the duplicate both wont be LB

[eternal moth]

She's best used with 2 other BBs in an OpSi or META fleet

Her personal damage is one of the lowest for a UR, but her buffs more than make up for that.

[eternal basalt]

But remember, one month till the 2 CN anni-URs

[worldly pewter]

this is actual true btw
people call the original a copy all the time so we were right from the start

i never heard of someone calling copy exclusively for a dupe

[clear harbor]

I see San Diego mentioned every now and then. Should I pick her up from the Medal shop? CL's are available for me this month.

[sweet delta]

Buy either sandy or sirius. How close are you to finishing Rookie Exam, and what ships do you have?

[clear harbor]

I'm part way through the medium/normal part (sorry, can't check in the middle of auto farming). If I remember correclty, I was stuck because I was short on coins. I've hit W9 so farming coins isn't as much of an issue now.

Ooops. I guess I haven't actually started the rookie exam. I'll post some photos in thread.

@jaunty vault Thanks!

If anyone wants to take a look, I posted my current fleet + gear and my depot inventory. Would appreciate advice about what to do with my gear. #gameplay-help message

I could also use some general pointers about what kind of aux to equip to different ships.

[white agate]

impla level 115 > avp level 125 fs 5?

[forest palm]

you certainly could, but Imp would be missing a bit of RLD

[river remnant]

hey guys is it worth it to roll cubes into the 3 standard banners?

[mellow cape]

No

Save the cubes for UR events. One light roll a day otherwise

[river remnant]

ok tyty

ah i spend a lot of days not rolling for that light 😦

[zenith heron]

One reason why 1 light pull is fine per day is that you get your pull resources back, then you earn some pull items that boosts some time... like 3 items a day once per light pull

[keen sable]

Daily missions are good missions

[glossy granite]

If someone were to buy gems first time or anything at all for gems which pack or what would be the most valuable under 20 bucks

Assuming that exists

[viscid swift]

All gem packs with the x2 first purchase bonus are roughly the same value

[rapid eagle]

Alright people
am I supposed to expect multiple sortie runs for 1 affinity point

[zenith pebble]

Using shipgirls in battle (except Exercises or Operation Siren) will raise their affinity by approximately 0.0625 (0.125 if MVP) per battle.

Putting her in the Dorm might cause her to display a heart icon. Tapping it will increase her affinity between 0.0125 - 0.015625 points.[1] Food and existing affinity level may affect the chance of heart icon appearing.

The ship set as the main secretary in the leftmost slot gains 1 point of affinity every 300-320 minutes. Secretary affinity gain stops at 90 affinity. During Romance events, affinity gain over 90 is possible but the rate may lower than normal.

[ivory pawn]

Yes. Each battle is 1/16th of a point. 1/8th for the MVP.

[zenith pebble]

this is somethingi found on reddit

[ivory pawn]

Probably copy pasted from https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Affinity#Affinity.

[zenith pebble]

probably

[stone sluice]

What’s a romance event?

[ivory pawn]

Special events. There was one around CNY where you could remove that cap for example, though not sure if it counts as a Romance event.

[lyric briar]

Anyone here have a consistent W-14 fleet

[zenith pebble]

doesnt marrying ships also do something?

[ivory pawn]

Increases the affinity cap, not the cap for secretary affinity gain. Might be thinking of the increase to morale regen.

[sharp socket]

what do you have

[lyric briar]

Basically all relevant ships

[hollow gust]

what ships do you have that are actually fully built

[lyric briar]

Every UR are 125 and relevant SR are 125

[hollow gust]

/w15 you can copy the example comps , they are basically the same for w14

[normal cedar]

is proto tenrai better than flapjack? (as general use fighter)

[strong tartan]

tenrai is a bomber

[forest palm]

different plane types

[normal cedar]

ah ok, sorry my bad, got it

[forest palm]

Flapjack replaces stuff like the Hellcat, Tenrai is what replaces Helldivers fyi

there is obviously more nuance to this, but that's the most basic level of plane shenanigans

[hushed cliff]

should i put my rainbow gun on Hindenburg's main or auxiliary gun? i'm assuming main is better but im just asking cause her skill says her aux gun ignores shields

[strong tartan]

no it says if there's a gun in her third slot her shells ignore shields

[hushed cliff]

oh i see now. i misunderstood the description

[forest palm]

stronger gun in the main slot, and then throw your next best gun in her third slot

[forest palm]

looks fine enough

[hushed cliff]

time for school, Burger

Also is this thing good

I spent a ton of main gun parts for some reason without knowing if it’s good

[forest palm]

Best AP gun you can give a CB

[wind hazel]

that's a BB gun...

best against medium

[forest palm]

it looks so similar

[wind hazel]

guam gun is facing right 😭

[hushed cliff]

this is the gun from that italy event

[forest palm]

Mori said it right though

[sweet delta]

a ton of main gun parts but it's only +10

[sharp echo]

is there option to disable this?

[wind hazel]

can disable under settings

the uh, last one i think

or one of these idk

oh there

[dusk hornet]

Yes, it's little enterprise

I don't want to start over with Bismarck 😦

[plain saffron]

Open game
Login on left side

Then select server and you're good

[hushed cliff]

🤓

[midnight bluff]

Which research should i set my research focus on after finishing PR 7

[normal cedar]

can charles retrofit replace cleveland or phoenix or neither on mob fleet? assume starter retro or ayanami retro has beaver tag

[hollow gust]

none of the ships you listed are any good generally

[wind hazel]

and giving beaver to your DD isn't good idea either

[normal cedar]

ig ill just keep cleve and phoenix then since already mlbed them
yea, i proposed that since charles retro skill needs dd to hv beaver

[hollow gust]

you really shoulnd be forced to use those two

[dusk hornet]

Thanks but all my data is lv 3 now ⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️

[plain saffron]

If you login then whatever current one will be gone

Like rn you're probably on guest accounts

So just login and you'll get your account back

[dusk hornet]

It's on my main tho...

:💀

[plain saffron]

You already login yostar account? At login screen not in settings

[dusk hornet]

yep

[plain saffron]

Use the button on top right in server select, it'll scan all accounts

[dusk hornet]

Yep

💀

[sinful escarp]

you got it back?

[dusk hornet]

No

[sinful escarp]

my guess is you binded it to the NEW yostar login, not the old one

azur lane still doesnt use that

[dusk hornet]

Oh, let me try that

[plain saffron]

But there's no new yostar login ingame yet right?

[sinful escarp]

there is no login yet, but you can bind it to the new yostar one

[plain saffron]

Just contact support at worst

[sinful escarp]

if you know your UID i think tech support can help

[hoary relic]

when should i use VH armor plate?

[stark quiver]

honestly never

[hoary relic]

so it is a waste to buy VH plate for 800 datacore?

[plain saffron]

Pretty much

[hoary relic]

and how many pairs of shells should i buy

[sinful escarp]

as many as you can

even now i always buy them monthly

[hoary relic]

[sinful escarp]

yep, rn i have iirc 3 white and 5 black available to be used

[hoary relic]

can the sr T-pose radar replace type 1 AP shell?

[stark quiver]

it can replace the black shell in situations where its good

[hoary relic]

[hoary relic]

in that case, we sacrifice FP for more acc for crit?

[sinful escarp]

most of the time accuracy/hit matters more than FP

[frank pulsar]

hsfcr? yea you can, its mainly for timing adjustment, but nowadays some people use it purely for its stats

[hoary relic]

hit/acc also counter eva right? not only for higher crit chance right?

[rapid grail]

evasion determines the likelihood of a ship dodging a source of dmg

hit/accuracy determines the likelihood of a source of dmg hitting a target, such ss said ship

hit/acc counter mid-high evasion stat. dunno if hit/acc improves crit chance tho

for more details there should be a page on AL wiki detailing combat mechanics. i'm busy doing stuff irl

[sinful escarp]

from what i remember from people talking here, it does

not sure by how much though

[hoary relic]

it says acc also affect the ships's possibility to score critical hits

[rapid grail]

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

yeah u right

[hoary relic]

btw how does the level gap affect the incoming dmg/dmg dealt to enemies?

[mint flint]

Every level above/below an enemy you deal/take 2% more/less damage up to a cap of 50%

[slow fox]

More levels also increase hitrate by 0.1% per level.

[frank pulsar]

is it capped

[slow fox]

I actually don't know if the hitrate LvlDiff calc is capped.

[frank pulsar]

thats alright
ty

[vale spindle]

its capped cause you can't miss under 0% and you can't hit over 100%

[whole crypt]

you can't even hit 0% for hit formula

[vale spindle]

oh right isn't the min like 0.1

[whole crypt]

the "hard cap" for evasion is 0.9 precisely because hit is floored at 0.1

[vapid igloo]

ive been using my fleet 1 for clearing out mobs, and fleet 2 for the boss, right now im at 11-4 but im unable to get past it at this point if anyone can offer some advice

i have these sr units atm

[cunning bison]

get past it as in?

[vapid igloo]

cannot clear it

[cunning bison]

mob or boss defeat? also ya uh warspite kinda sucks

[vapid igloo]

boss defeat, ye ik warspite isnt good

most people have told me at this point, ive just been using her because it hasnt been hard to clear up until this point

im assuming i need to switch up my fleet at some point if anyone can point out some characters to start working on

[cunning bison]

ur vanguard's p good

maybe its the equipment? i wld suggest getting vanguard as ur ur pity once she drops there

[vapid igloo]

uhh

[cunning bison]

yikes

riprip im not sure if nj is worth investing in

[wind hazel]

show your boss fleet gear

also im surprised your mob fleet works, wtf

[vapid igloo]

ive been loosely trying to follow the equip guide; also i think i just outheal or something

[wind hazel]

ok i assume you're not killing the suicide boats at all

[cunning bison]

prob carried by the 2 healers there tbh

[vapid igloo]

somewhat? i kinda just go onto the next mob and heal whatever damage i took

[wind hazel]

a lot of scuffed gear too...

[vapid igloo]

as well

[wind hazel]

can you try this?

[vapid igloo]

uhh sure

[wind hazel]

if you don't have something, open a thread and post your depot. tag me in the thread, im away ~10mins 💩

[vapid igloo]

ok

[dusk hornet]

I gunna grind from start

I got illustrious on the 5th roll my new beginning is looking good.

[plain saffron]

You do you i guess

[hollow hollow]

z52 will hold her own in 12+ at 100 right?

i need to grind her up and im not going to burn books

[wind hazel]

most ship can handle w12 at 100

especially busted URs

[dusk hornet]

Another golden on 10th roll, am in heaven:)

[plain saffron]

Can't use them anyway because no bulin

[tame jungle]

blogging goes in #al-general

[eternal basalt]

~~Nagami, might want to change your name before Frostfall rerun, since that IS frostfall ~~

[plain saffron]

I'll do when it come

[celest stirrup]

Hi guys, how do i able to make this into 3star? Cuz it seems like my turns is only 5

[plain saffron]

You can fight without ammo

[celest stirrup]

How?

[plain saffron]

-50% dmg but level advantage bonus make up for it

Just click on enemy like normal

[celest stirrup]

Wait lemme try

[wind hazel]

out of ammo doesn't mean your fleet really run out of ammo. they are just a debuff

[celest stirrup]

Ohh i didn't know that

[wind hazel]

i also suggest you to start reading https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/dayonetips/guildshop before committing any further

[plain saffron]

Ectl update?????

[wind hazel]

ye was recently added, pretty pog

[plain saffron]

Are others guide updated too

[vale spindle]

other guides on the newbie tips page are

[wind hazel]

new player guide still the same 😭 foxmine here we go

[celest stirrup]

Who should i remove for unicorn?

[wind hazel]

any of the two beside richy

[celest stirrup]

Alright thanks

[wind hazel]

ideally remove them both, remove fortune and indy too

[celest stirrup]

Just two is enough?

[wind hazel]

no

the guide should tell you this...

[honest sequoia]

btw if having more hit/acc stats
Wouldnt that mean that black shell + FCR/gaming table is more superior over White + blackshell in mobbing

[storm heron]

1 of the shells + fcr is good

[honest sequoia]

so technically white + black shell suck

[storm heron]

keyword mobbing

[crimson glacier]

mobs have less evasion

[tranquil dagger]

Out of all my ships here, what would make for a good 2nd fleet?

[woven star]

Maybe you will finish Helena and Unicorn mlb at the beginning?

[zenith pebble]

What world are you?

[wind hazel]

nelson saratoga unicorn helena, and the franklin you're using

[zenith pebble]

Your second fleet all is about what world youre in. If youre near w9-12, you should make one

Oh, homie mentioned theyre past w9?

Mb yall im still eating food :p

[wind hazel]

with those average level he better be

[storm heron]

[wind hazel]

but probably not lol, fleet 1 is kinda all over the place too

try not to spread your gold bulin around

[woven star]

But better finished Franklin mlb anyway

[celest stirrup]

Guys i got Shimakaze, is she good?

[tranquil dagger]

Just done with world 7, can't do world 8 because of commander levels

[wind hazel]

useless for a new player

[celest stirrup]

Oh, i guess I'll just save her for now

[zenith pebble]

Unless you mlb her, but even then theres still better frontline

[wind hazel]

also dont randomly pull on special

[celest stirrup]

I do heavy

[wind hazel]

or heavy for that matter. outside of event just do 1 daily light

[zenith pebble]

Uou can easily get past w8 soth decent ships and leveles and gears

[wind hazel]

sir, he can't enter w8

[zenith pebble]

Apparently you can beat harbiter with preopsi gear

[wind hazel]

go grind at UU or PP SP5 in war archive

[tranquil dagger]

Yeah, just trying to future proof myself ig, currently sitting at commander level 57

[zenith pebble]

Maybe its a gear and skill level issue? I still have like 80% of my opsi fleet at skill level one

[tranquil dagger]

I mean i literally get a notif saying I need cl 60 to play world 8

[wind hazel]

brother, there's a level limit to enter chapter8 campaign, he doesn't have the required commander level

😭 third time this has been said

[tranquil dagger]

UU?

[zenith pebble]

Oh i didnt know that

[wind hazel]

universe in unison, PP=passionate polaris

or you can grind at Divergent Chessboard D4 too if you can get past the stats requirement

[zenith pebble]

Sorry words are all messed up with my head after a night with some people

[tranquil dagger]

Gotcha gotcha, thank you

[wind hazel]

either way fix your mob fleet. put a unicorn in there, maryland unicorn franklin portland z23 and chapayev make good mob fleet

retro your maryland portland and unicorn asap

[tranquil dagger]

screenshotted so I remember

[nocturne glade]

is ibuki worth raising?

i heard she was decent with module

[wind hazel]

strong torpedo boat

but idk worth is the word for it usually i see people use her for opsi mob. not a high priority ship compare to other pr ships like shimanto

[tranquil dagger]

Oh also quick thing, how come the 6th slot is empty? Is that just a flex slot?

[wind hazel]

it's because i forgor

i wanted to say look up for Anchorage from shipyard, but i forgot to send it

[nocturne glade]

I see, was asking because I need IJN tech for shimanto and I dont have any other very good IJN ships

[tranquil dagger]

ty for explaining

[crimson glacier]

you dont need good ships you just needs ships, and backline gives more tech

[wind hazel]

also maybe consider raising the jeanne later on, or changchun if you got the resources to retrofit her

[nocturne glade]

i see, ty!

[wind hazel]

i think you'll naturally get all the IJN PR ships unlocked along the way to haku and shimanto

but yeah you can go for izumo first, then maybe azuma, then ibuki if you still need

or mlb other elite ijn main fleet

[nocturne glade]

Already did Izumo, guess I'll do Azuma next

oh azuma needs 900 dang

[sinful escarp]

shimanto? mb didnt read back

[wind hazel]

didnt realize that

kitakaze i guess lul

but there are various elite mainfleet you can get anyway, should be easier too while waiting for pr dev

[sinful escarp]

oohhh yeah kitakaze, she has a nice torp stat that can help with hard mode reqs

[crimson glacier]

kita has torp?

[wind hazel]

no idea, but that wasn't the point in getting ktkz

[crimson glacier]

yeah its for the tech req, im just saying thats weird thing to say

[bleak nymph]

So how bad did izumo get power crept? Or she just wasn’t all that good to begin with on release?

[wind hazel]

she's decent now with aug

[crimson glacier]

izumo wasnt that good even on her release

so probably better now relatively lol

[zenith heron]

If you don't have a Shimakaze or an Unzen, she is alright to use...

Better than Shimakaze in terms on long term burst damage, and somewhat stronger than Unzen in early fights in mob fleet based by someone here who said so... (P.S. Its thanks to her Augment)

[dreamy blade]

izumo aug gives her a 100% proc barrage

[dreamy blade]

i've also found that having a ca with good trp stat is useful pretty often for hard mode reqs

[wind hazel]

but her trp stats isn't that high lol

even unzen lose out to a normal ship's trp stats

[dreamy blade]

it's good for a CA is all lol, it helps when you dont have a good dd statstick to bring

[wind hazel]

and when i say normal, i meant really normal like Craven or z20 💀

[crimson glacier]

you need to be desperate for ibukis torp stat to matter

[zenith heron]

Well take it with a Grain of salt on my take with Ibuki Augment vs Unzen

[dreamy blade]

i mean considering most new players only raised CA will be portland with 0 torp stat i think it's pretty good

[wind hazel]

new players wont be getting ibuki

there are easier way to get trp stats than investing in ibuki

[dreamy blade]

sure it's not a reason to get her just a nice bonus that i experienced

[zenith heron]

Pretty much, I even doubt IJN would be more important than KMS tech to begin with unless said player has different goals

[wind hazel]

getting her is not something bad, but getting her just for trp stat is bad. that's my point

[zenith heron]

That's a Good point tbh

[wind hazel]

more ijn point is good tho, most players have difficulty getting haku's required point from what i observe

[crimson glacier]

i just dont like it when ppl say things they clearly have no idea about

[dreamy blade]

are you saying i have no idea about my own experience as a new player

[crimson glacier]

your experience doesnt help anyone else than you

[nocturne glade]

Ended up starting ibuki instead of kita since she gives marginally more fleet tech

[zenith heron]

This one's fair too if said player hasn't lvl up and mlb much IJN ships...

It did not happen to me because I was an IJN Glazer but it will happen to others...

[atomic abyss]

This happens if they don't start with an IJN event, basically

And those are getting increasingly rare outside JP Anni

I genuinely cannot remember when was the last non-UR IJN event

[crimson glacier]

does the muse event count 🙂

[atomic abyss]

Not to mention the UR ones are almost back to back

Musashi rerun was a month after Amagi
It's reasonable to expect similar timeline this year with Unzen's rerun

[wind hazel]

💀 zuihou

the very previous one was like owari
