[honest stirrup]

Oh my poor soul

[dark turret]

i recently got nj and prinz heinrich, but i got no xp books, what should i do to level them up

[eager mulch]

dorm, commissions, sorties

[whole crypt]

for the record getting onto top 100 for fleet power is going to be a lot of grinding and very likely whaling

[honest stirrup]

To even begin to get out of "unranked" you would need to first get almost every ship of the game max limit broken and retrofit, and by then you probably already have gears so high, these 10 stats would be less than negligible

[tulip thorn]

Its not that much of a problem, its like a secondary quest of mine

[dark turret]

right, thats what i thought but checked in, in case there was something i was missing

[honest stirrup]

I wish you good luck and a lot of patience then

[tulip thorn]

Im not unranked tho...

[viscid swift]

Yeah don't bother

[whole crypt]

the actual quality of the gear you use is also not really important as opposed to just having something that pads stats and preferably high rarity

[eager mulch]

no Belfast secretary smh

[whole crypt]

rubbish metric smh

[tulip thorn]

Also i've already retrofitted everything, got every ship, mlb all (except collab ships) and have 583 lvl 120 ships

[hollow gust]

[whole crypt]

you'll get there grey just keep leveling

[forest palm]

good luck if you're in Av, Wash, Sandy, or Lex

[tulip thorn]

I'm in Wash :c

[forest palm]

got into a sweat server

[hollow gust]

I don't gear my ships all the time

[eternal basalt]

Amateurs

[tulip thorn]

Is there a list? 👀

[whole crypt]

your best luck is just waiting for people to give up on playing

[hollow gust]

Toolbox is king

[whole crypt]

assuming game doesn't EOS before that

[forest palm]

Wash is too old a server as it is to be relatively competitive in the rankings without throwing some cash into the game

[whole crypt]

for the record a top ranker that stops playing now will probably remain the top ranker for the forseeable future because fleet power doesn't go down from not playing, you need to eventually catch up to it

[honest stirrup]

Idk man, I'm in Sandy and that Redleaf that is n°1 in fleet power keeps getting top 10 earner in EVERY EVENT

[whole crypt]

tryhards going to keep trying hard so

[tulip thorn]

But is there like a doc on how to equips ships efficiently for power?

[soft raft]

Besides spamming UR Gear?

[forest palm]

rainbow = more power

[whole crypt]

toolkits and whatever gold weapon you can get your hands on, short of being able to get a lot of rainbow gear

[honest stirrup]

Skills don't matter for power so it's just the more raw stats the better

[tulip thorn]

Damn i should start buying rainbow torps every month

[forest palm]

that is a horrible waste, but w/e

[tulip thorn]

Oh why toolkits?

[honest stirrup]

Cheap ig

[whole crypt]

because they're cheap padding

and easy to get

[tulip thorn]

What else can i buy with cores :c

But the difference 😭

[whole crypt]

that translates to maybe 1 point on ladder

[tulip thorn]

Brick by brick...

[whole crypt]

my honest advice is to just not bother with it unless you're ready to spend the next 4 years leveling every ship and paying in for dupes

[tulip thorn]

Wait i need dupes?

[whole crypt]

yes, dupes at different LB levels add to fleet power

[stark quiver]

If you wanna win
Each dupe counts as a unique copy

[whole crypt]

so the top scorers are all whales

[viscid swift]

also some retros count as different coppies

[eternal basalt]

You need LB0, LB1, LB2 and MLB

[stark quiver]

Like I said
Wallet v wallet

[tulip thorn]

So maybe.....i should....

[whole crypt]

not forgetting you have people who also whale rings for the bonus stats

[soft raft]

that'd be the hull conversion retrofits right
IE the BBVs, Mogami, and the DDGs

[whole crypt]

if you want to go for it you just need 4 x the regular dock space 🙂

[tulip thorn]

Damn

[whole crypt]

yes you will need closer to 2.9k 🙂

[stark quiver]

And like I also said
You literally don’t need to giga whale for rank 100

[whole crypt]

some servers you can reach rank 100 without whaling

but I'm not going to bother equipping 600 fodder ships

[tulip thorn]

Nah imagine whaling on AL

[boreal wagon]

its more than those (there is no real pattern as to why they should count they just do due to how the game data works and the alg checks)

[stark quiver]

I don’t need to imagine

[eternal basalt]

Looks at spending figurre on store

[whole crypt]

I spend significantly more than 2 boatloads each year, whether that counts as whaling I guess depends on your finances

[tulip thorn]

Oh, augments counts too right?

[whole crypt]

yes

[boreal wagon]

their stats do the augment itself is 0

[whole crypt]

when I say I spend significantly more than 2 boatloads I mean I have no idea how many boatloads I buy after first bonus is gone

(not counting cruise pass obviously)

[tulip thorn]

Just 600+ more ships lets gooo

The only thing stopping me are:

[jaunty vault]

gaming

[whole crypt]

those won't be a problem when you get around to leveling 700 ships

[tulip thorn]

Why?

[whole crypt]

because plates drop when you grind stages?

[tulip thorn]

Yeah but
Not in 14-1....

[jaunty vault]

14-1 grinding poggies

[whole crypt]

ch14 is stupidly inefficient but sure

[honest stirrup]

14-1, for levelling?

[tulip thorn]

Yes
I need more cogs

[whole crypt]

have fun buying them then

[tulip thorn]

Nooo never

[whole crypt]

but yet buying space for dupes is an option?

[tulip thorn]

Never said that....

I dont retire dupe URs bc i feel bad.....

[whole crypt]

well it's on that to-do list if you want to leaderboard fleet power

[eternal basalt]

After the tenth, you stop caring... just 30 medals

[tulip thorn]

I dont think ill go for #1 xd

[whole crypt]

and honestly if you don't buy chips I don't think you'll be catching up with the rankers

not even #1. maybe manage to squeeze yourself into 100-80 ish

[tulip thorn]

Thats fine

[whole crypt]

good luck that's your next 3 years of grinding set then

[tulip thorn]

Yeah

I hope ill finish to lvl up all ships by early next year

[whole crypt]

how many are you left with

[tulip thorn]

How many there are without counting collabs?

[eternal basalt]

Need 2 years for all reruns to come

As of Tuesday, 4/15/2025, there is a total of 619 regular ships, 100 of which can be retrofitted. There are 37 research ships, 71 collab. ships, and 46 META ships. Together, these make up a total of 773 obtainable ships in the game.

[whole crypt]

so 700

[tulip thorn]

702?

[whole crypt]

wait bili is part of collab so yeh 702

[tulip thorn]

121 more then

[whole crypt]

that includes bulins too

[tulip thorn]

124 then xd

[whole crypt]

though you can probably stop when they reach 100 aff because they don't gain stats

[tulip thorn]

Im almost done with affinity farming

And im done with enhanching ships

Do collab ships count for fleet power?

[whole crypt]

no

[tulip thorn]

NICE

[whole crypt]

but littles and muses do

[tulip thorn]

NOOO

[boreal wagon]

u mean the bulins?

[whole crypt]

yeh

[boreal wagon]

they technically do gain stats but its abysmally low

[tulip thorn]

Should i start on equipping the commons or the URs?

[whole crypt]

no difference

this has me at 17.1k fleet power

[weak dust]

whats alternative for rpg adventure

[soft raft]

any other gold rarity aux with HP

[tulip thorn]

Whats this?

[whole crypt]

that's the ships I have left to level

[tulip thorn]

Oh its a website?

[whole crypt]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/tracker

[tulip thorn]

Oh god its gonna take hours

[whole crypt]

nah it's probably going to be an hour just marking everything then working backwards on ships that aren't maxed

[boreal wagon]

u can just hit bulk mode select all and they all get marked as 120 and then work backwards

[whole crypt]

precisely what I did, it's faster that way when you're on the tail end

[honest stirrup]

Thank you MrLar for having essentially done everything I thought would be nice to have

[boreal wagon]

tech tracker really isnt a new concept

https://retropaint.github.io/azur-lane-fleet-tech-tracker/ has existed for quite some time

they both fundementally do the same thing just different ui and different way of doing stuff

and retropaint technically has some incorrect values but it doesnt matter

[tulip thorn]

Collabs here are not listed?

[boreal wagon]

you have to enable techless ships in the settings

[tulip thorn]

Thanks

[minor kraken]

Is august Von parseval good, i Just got her

[cobalt rapids]

at fs5

[minor kraken]

Ok

[soft raft]

FS5 namely makes the proc chance for her freeze go to 100%

[keen sable]

You should have implacable?

[minor kraken]

I have a lot of CV's already I'm Just focusing in IB ships now

[worldly pewter]

if u have impla then avp is 🚮

[forest palm]

doesn't invalidate August's viability

[worldly pewter]

yeah only for someone who has impla because of the redundancy as a budget option i think

[forest palm]

the question is, "is August good?" which, surprisingly yes, she is. Is there better than her? also yes

the latter is useless information the former is pertinent

[minor kraken]

I plan to use her with biscuit and graf

[forest palm]

if it's for xp grind, that's kind of w/e

[minor kraken]

Its just for fun

[forest palm]

as long as you understand

[cobalt gate]

so currently i go for fp right?what about reload for cl and ca?

[stark quiver]

Fp and hit good

[soft raft]

August still valid for Anti-light CV fleet if you alreayd have Implac

[hollow gust]

Shes just as valid in any armor type

[sweet delta]

Anti light cv fleet

[slow fox]

suchispotted

[vale spindle]

mebotting

[slow fox]

Samspotted

[tulip thorn]

If i put lvl 115 does it count as its already awakened?

[boreal wagon]

it assumes the ship is fully awoken if you set it to 116 (well not much of an assumption but you get the point)

[jaunty vault]

[vale spindle]

but what about lvl 120 -> lvl 125 then

[boreal wagon]

it doesnt track arrays

[vale spindle]

[boreal wagon]

(nor chips needed for 125)

[tulip thorn]

Oh nice thanks

Im cooked

[sweet delta]

Only 48k?

[tulip thorn]

I didn't count ships without tech

[honest stirrup]

What's that number? The quantity you need to reach everything 120?

[tulip thorn]

Yes

[hollow gust]

That sounds way too cheap

Are you including frontline tech

[little tree]

Me misinformation

[tulip thorn]

OH WAIT

[little tree]

~~ sorry I ment suchi~~

[tulip thorn]

Here we go now it makes sense

[hollow gust]

Still looks a bit short but it's better

[tulip thorn]

Im more than cooked

[jaunty vault]

bros cooking

[soft raft]

Burnt to a crisp

[worldly pewter]

needing 90k isn't called cooked

[tulip thorn]

I mean, how long does it take to get 90k cogs?

[worldly pewter]

it depends on events commissions and drops mainly maybe 7 months not sure at max pace

[little tree]

Feels like I'm perma stuck at 8k cogs

[stark quiver]

same

[stark quiver]

a very long time if you constantly uncap ships

[tulip thorn]

Ill give u a medal if i can finish in 7 months

[eternal basalt]

How fun to be stuck on cogs sticking around something, rather than dropping to 2k

[forest palm]

wouldn't know

[orchid reef]

maybe easy question, who i should get bewteen those 2

[eternal basalt]

Do you have Vanguard?

[orchid reef]

no i have NJ

[eternal basalt]

Then wait for VG rather than those 2, thursday

[soft raft]

what about Shinano?

[orchid reef]

nah vanguard is not that good really by already few feedbacks, shes only a little bit better than nj

[orchid reef]

nj, shinano, UvH unlocked already

[stark quiver]

who said that

[soft raft]

wrong
her function is pretty different than NJ

Damage wise yes she's worse
But utility wise is where Vanguard shines

[orchid reef]

i need damage, not support, i have unicorn for that

[soft raft]

that's a completely different category of support

[stark quiver]

does unicorn debuff enemies and buff battleships

[orchid reef]

i use only 1bb

[stark quiver]

[soft raft]

Vanguard is one of the best backline buffers for BBs
Primarily in OpSi where she can maximize her buff with two other BBs

[orchid reef]

well i dont use 2 bbs

[soft raft]

right now sure
but eventually you will make a triple BB and at least 1 triple CV boss fleet for OpSi

[orchid reef]

i dont play opsi

[stark quiver]

well, if anything, kronk has better lvl 120 tech, and is a typical damage tank
shima has bad tech but isnt bad in pvp

[orchid reef]

somehow i dont play opsi, i reached somewhere there and i just by every month get it back with the oil

[orchid reef]

so who you suggest

[eternal basalt]

There is no oil in OPSI

[orchid reef]

you pay oil to get back where you were in opsi

[soft raft]

that is completely optional

the oil thing just lets you access all zones without having to clear adjacent ones

[orchid reef]

yes you can, thats what i do

[eternal basalt]

5k item is a scam

[stark quiver]

What’re you looking for
A tank or a torp spammer

[orchid reef]

what would be ideal for saint louis, heinrich & eugen. Who to replace and who then to get

because really idk myself 😭

[eternal basalt]

Eugen

[orchid reef]

shes on good level and a good tank for my fleet

[eternal basalt]

Then replace by Kronk

[soft raft]

Heinrich wouldnt really go anywhere
Kron could replace the other three ig

But then you can just get Anchorage and she would trump all 4 of them

[orchid reef]

i am making avp instead of her

and saint louis is lvl 120, my best ship also

but alr then i would do: saint louis, heinrich, kron

tysm guys ❤️

[slow fox]

What is this slander Eugen is good

[last zenith]

only goot for ealy to mid game. she simply doesnt have the damage

[high star]

Eugen has been a bad Super Rare since release

[orchid reef]

Eugen is good tank really, she still sometimes does close job to Saint Louis i have but st.louis dominates my fleet with Nj always these 2 mvps. But eugen is still good + better than nothing

[woven star]

Eugene has good hp pool and nothing more. Her skills no dps nor solid deff

That's why she best choice to swap

[viscid swift]

Eugen is just never a good choice

early game she's too expensive and later on her damage is lackluster, there are ships tankier than her and her 120 tech is bad

[orchid reef]

What you all mean 120 tech?...

[jaunty vault]

tech stats at lvl120

[worldly pewter]

yeah finishing in 7 months will most likely require not sleeping much for commissions 13k per month is most likely 6k from commissions and 3k from drops and the rest from events

[orchid reef]

Like tech points or

[slow fox]

Are there tanky ships that are less expensive than Eugen? Are we thinking like Neptune (Fate)?

[eternal basalt]

Surely you need more from said events

[viscid swift]

well at minium you need 429 days or about 14 months just from the daily raid alone

[eternal basalt]

Anchorage / Agir

[orchid reef]

Saint louis is by me best tank in series 1

[tulip thorn]

Damn...

[viscid swift]

not really true under any circumstances

[slow fox]

How are we measuring expense? I'm under the impression of AnchoAgir being very expensive.

[viscid swift]

just for eHP Neptune is far superior and for a tank, Roon is overall better

[orchid reef]

Well i have roon Muse same trust

[viscid swift]

regular Roon with augment is far superior to Roon mMse

[eternal basalt]

They are the EXACT same as Neptune Okay, Agir more...

[orchid reef]

-# joke btw, muse version is bad

[slow fox]

I guess Neptune is also expensive. I was thinking from a techpoint unlock standpoint.

[orchid reef]

And i was grinding...like 2 months maybe...

[viscid swift]

but anyway, Eugen is expensive from a bullin perspective

[orchid reef]

To then get an answer "yea shes not that good as the fleet you have"...

[viscid swift]

early on at best you'll maybe get 2-3 ships worth of SR bullins before you start having to wait

[slow fox]

Eugen has an expensive opportunity cost? As in "Why spend Purins on a Tank when you can spend them on a Carry Backline?"

[viscid swift]

in terms of SRs I'd want to use early game, Eugen is not high on that list

pretty much

and also, you'd want to use Portland anyway

[eternal basalt]

"Why spend gold bulin on her than purple bulin on portland"

[orchid reef]

Well, i used spee also. Shes also really best tank i own but i dont use her anymore ofc (but shes my first oath and i dont have anyone else yet)

[slow fox]

-# Portland not 120%

[viscid swift]

I mean would you pay 4 gold bullins though for that extra 20%

[jaunty vault]

no, stats

[slow fox]

If you did that, you'd lose the opportunity cost. Why not recoup with grabbing a carry backline using PR instead of the other way around?

[orchid reef]

It has more???? I thought just leveling and thats all 😭. So when i reach the lvl 120 and i awake it, what then

[viscid swift]

by the time someone gets to maxing a PR, they'll just have better tanks overall than Eugen

[jaunty vault]

nothing after 120

[slow fox]

Such as the PR themselves?

[eternal basalt]

125!

[viscid swift]

yeah, Anchorage, Agir, Roon, etc

[orchid reef]

Well then just to make it to 125 and all done right

[jaunty vault]

most ships give stats to ships of their hulls when you obtain and 120 them

[eternal basalt]

120

[viscid swift]

plus there's also a bunch of good event tanks like Freidrich Karl, Lala, etc

[jaunty vault]

this is different from the tech stats you get from faction tech in fleet technology

[slow fox]

I was about to point out that nonPR tanks are restricted construction

[orchid reef]

I have Saint Louis on my max...still i use eugen even now, but soon it would be kron

[worldly pewter]

she isn't a tank

[viscid swift]

Kronshtadt is like, the lowest priority for UR Bullins tied with Shima

[slow fox]

Do you think that this has to do with the fact that research tanks are usable at D15/25, but other research ships are unusable until D30/FS5?

[viscid swift]

Anchorage and Agir would be used instead of Kronk and if you really need a Shima type ship, go get yourself Ibuki

[eternal basalt]

They don't want Vanguard, while not having yet

[orchid reef]

I am making avp in series 4 so yea cant really rn

[jaunty vault]

its just that the opportunity cost of using bulins for eugen is more adverse than the opportunity cost for using portland and replacing her later on with say anchorage

[viscid swift]

thats partly it but also we're just overall thinking of a fast turnaround time on the PRs by the time they reach W12

[orchid reef]

I AM NOT USING 2 BBS NO MATTER WHAT

[worldly pewter]

shinano and vanguard are the only top tier in the perma though

[viscid swift]

AvP really shouldn't take your more than a week to unlock

[orchid reef]

I am f2p.

[viscid swift]

also why not

[eternal basalt]

Vanguard, not vanguard

[slow fox]

-# DPS-pilled take on fleet development
-# why even live

[viscid swift]

so am I, and I always unlocked PRs in about a week

it's not difficult
take 3 ships that meet the XP requirements and farm W12 on repeat

[worldly pewter]

with 20% buff and opsi exp u can do it in 5 days or less

[slow fox]

Isn't the most investment-heavy part of PRs the blueprint accumulation?

[orchid reef]

I grind also but getting 2m xp is just a crazy thing for me, Saint Louis itself took me like 1 month or more

[viscid swift]

it should not take you 2 months if you're doing things even remotely optimally

[orchid reef]

I have full iron blood fleet + i am stuck on 10-3 because TIME RUNS OUT WHILE THE BOSS HAS 4 MORE HEALTH ❤️

[eternal basalt]

Cause Eugen, yes

[worldly pewter]

w10

[viscid swift]

well forget about farming for XP temporarily, fix your fleets and push to W12 first

W10 is absolute garbage to farm compared to W12
it's harder and gives less XP

also, you do know that the PR grind only needs main fleet or vanguard XP for any given mission right

[orchid reef]

I cant even farm the w10

[viscid swift]

your fleets and gear must be absolutely shit then

which is really concerning if you have 4 max limit broken URs

[weak dust]

do these differ in any way besides how you fight them?

also same question but for the escort missions too

[worldly pewter]

yeah usually we recommend doing pr grind seriously at around w12 because at that point u are in a good standing point

[viscid swift]

nope

[weak dust]

so just rng drops? for both

[orchid reef]

Well
Back:
Unicorn is on full
Nj is mlb
Enty is mlb
Front:
Saint Louis max lvl 120
Heinrich lvl 59 1 more lmb from mlb
Eugen mlb lvl 109

[viscid swift]

no, Tactial drops are all fixed

[weak dust]

sry, i meant rng for the escort

[eternal basalt]

They always drops the same, S for the best... and skip button

[viscid swift]

Henrich dying is not unexpected given her level but that should have no issues clearing
even if you're still one fleeting

[viscid swift]

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

give that a read and fix your gear

[worldly pewter]

this calls for a smol thread posting ur gear there

[orchid reef]

I have everything good but...time runs out when the boss bar is "4x"

[viscid swift]

if you're timing out then what you're using isn't "good"

[orchid reef]

+Nj dying

[orchid reef]

I always get help here with a gear so i should have good gear prob

[viscid swift]

what levels and gear are you using even

[worldly pewter]

can u show nj's gear ?

[viscid swift]

because no matter what you say, the fact is you're failing with a fleet that on paper should be having no issues in W10

[orchid reef]

She dies in it so i must switch her from the flagship pos, and put enty as flagship

[ivory pawn]

Too much to backread, is this for w10?

[viscid swift]

even ignoring the fact that really by this point you should be running 2 fleets

[ivory pawn]

Imo, just look to build a 2nd fleet.

[eternal basalt]

10-1? Is it cause 2 CV against suicide boats

[orchid reef]

10-3.

[viscid swift]

just start a thread, post your dock and gear

of course it's 10-3

[orchid reef]

Alr gimmie a sec

[worldly pewter]

TBH just ignore roon cdc for now and push campaign

[viscid swift]

do everyone's gear and your dock as well while you're at it
and in a thread

[orchid reef]

Bsbusiebiwbwbw fine

[viscid swift]

what

[ivory pawn]

It's right about the same time I was running into issues trying to do it with one fleet as well. But ofc do the thread stuff too, maybe you can optimize a bit further.

[tame jungle]

ugly ass keyboard smash

[worldly pewter]

technically uni enty nj should solo the stage but without the correct gear and levels it might be hard

[viscid swift]

it has to be levels and gear

no ifs, ands, or buts about it

[slow fox]

-# My guess? 0 enhanced ships

[viscid swift]

honestley wouldn't suprise me

[jaunty vault]

why talking weird 😐

[viscid swift]

it's a common expression where I'm from

[jaunty vault]

not you, botme

[weak dust]

who is priority on UR bulins
Raff is 4 star
(yes i keep a pristine copy of UR idk why)

[viscid swift]

Implacable

[jaunty vault]

partial limit breaks 💔😨

[soft raft]

damn thats some cursed LBs
why did you spread your bullins out like that

[weak dust]

ran out of coins then forgot

[tame jungle]

what the fuck

[soft raft]

[viscid swift]

so how many UR Bullins do you actually have/can get

[orchid reef]

I am back

[jaunty vault]

hi back

[viscid swift]

when's lunch

[weak dust]

have 1, can get 2

[jaunty vault]

in 12 hours

[viscid swift]

yeah you are really not in a position to not use your dupes for limit breaking then

[jaunty vault]

I don't think they wanna listen

[weak dust]

just name the first one i should focus on

[viscid swift]

I just did....

[weak dust]

damn im blind

[viscid swift]

^

[eternal basalt]

You just want them to have no UR Bulin when CN anni comes around.

[weak dust]

the wha

[eternal basalt]

The event next month with 1 or 2 URs

[weak dust]

dang

[weak dust]

whats the reccomended numbers for operation adapatabiliy again?

like 188 or something?

[viscid swift]

the cap of effectiveness is like 203 for offense and defense on arbiter

[eternal basalt]

188 is the old cap for strongholds, arbiter is 203

[spring basin]

if i leave a guild does it take away my dock space and such ?

[viscid swift]

no

[weak dust]

actually on that topic, does any1 have a guild i can join? i tried joining from join menu but never seem to get accepted

[soft raft]

#1246721562741178410

[hallow mountain]

should I keep the smol Formi

[stark quiver]

Sure

[hallow mountain]

Ok so what's the best stage to farm her with

And should I just max her out so she can survive the harder stages?

Like 12-4

[ivory pawn]

Don’t bother bringing her, just farm as usual.

Bringing her just gives bonus points you don’t even need.

[viscid swift]

I reached over 1k trust yesterday from regular farming

[upbeat wagon]

When does little formi event end

[ivory pawn]

Next week's maintenance.

[slow fox]

I only have 500
-# Cheeky nolife

[stark quiver]

I have 1.8k

[thorny plume]

i got kursk already is voroshilov worth pulling for?

[rocky tinsel]

Anyone know a good fleet planning spreadsheet? I've got some tier ones, but maybe one set up to pull info for each of your fleets if you enter the shipgirl names?

[keen sable]

using tickets is a good thing™

[slow fox]

https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

-# *Not a spreadsheet

[rocky tinsel]

Oh awesome. Thank you very muhc.

[viscid swift]

Not far behind you then

[viscid swift]

not really outside collection/tech

[forest palm]

I forgot this was a thing

[fallow sedge]

May i ask the upcoming live stream in the Japanese yt account of azur lane what is it about?

[jaunty vault]

we don't know

it is about something new
a new event perhaps

something relating to northern parliament

[fast frigate]

Wait if i complete all,little formiddable staying on my fleet permanently?

I thought it was gonna be gone after this event

[viscid swift]

Yes

[jaunty vault]

npc will go away

[hollow gust]

smh whats with the voro hate

[viscid swift]

a rather fair evaluation I'd say

and no I don't find her ability to activate nahkimov particularly valuable as things stand

[sweet delta]

Mebotmisinformation

Hi @slow fox I am once again expressing my disbelief of Voroshilov's high eHP

Did you give her 15% damage reduction or 15% airplane damage reduction

And can you add a row for when there are 0 enemy airplanes

[slow fox]

I gave her regular damage reduction

[whole crypt]

[grizzled sundial]

Sakura torp plane or Soviet torp plane ? 🤔

[forest palm]

what?

[ivory pawn]

The specific plane matters more than the faction of the plane.

[forest palm]

the lack of context is outstanding

disregarding any sort of faction, going by that there's like 5 IJN torp planes, and 4 or so SN torp planes

[ivory pawn]

Maybe Junker vs Ryuusei? In which case the answer is whichever makes the timing works better.

[forest palm]

D-4 is KMS...

[ivory pawn]

Meant VIT-2, mb.

[forest palm]

anyway there's no real answer without context

[grizzled sundial]

The gold A5 and Vit 2

[stark quiver]

which vit2

[grizzled sundial]

The blue color one

[forest palm]

A5? isn't that a Fockwolf?

[grizzled sundial]

Ugh these plane name , Ryusei and prototype vit 2 mode change

[ivory pawn]

Hey, I was right! After being corrected on one plane.

[grizzled sundial]

I dont think someone even use the white Vit 2

[ivory pawn]

Whatever makes the timing sync better basically.

Especially since usually converging torps are used with a freeze.

[weary gust]

It's the best parallel torp bomber that isn't wyvern, so long as AA isn't a concern.

[forest palm]

eh...Breguet exists, and I'd argue to use that over VIT-2 but use what you got

[minor kraken]

Is this fleet good for chapter 11?

[wind hazel]

seems fine

[ivory pawn]

Good time to start working on a 2nd fleet if you haven't yet, going to start struggling to 1 fleet maps soon.
That said, might still be able to 1 fleet a little longer? I'd give it a try if I had that fleet.

[wind hazel]

better if carl tank and have some other dps as offtank

[vapid arch]

Is kursk good

[minor kraken]

I levelling up my 2nd fleet they struggled a bit in 11-2

[ivory pawn]

Makes sense if the other fleet was the same one you showed. Should split fleet 1 between mob and boss.

[minor kraken]

Here's the 2nd fleet btw

Mogador level is kinda low

[sweet delta]

She has drake level DPS and is a bit over half as tanky has Drake. Which I wouldn't call good.

[vapid arch]

🥀

[ivory pawn]

Imo, swap Graf and Uni and use this fleet for mob and the other for boss, and give that a try.

[lyric briar]

Anything else I can improve upon on my w-14 fleet? Any ships to replace? Mob Boss

[minor kraken]

I was thinking of something similar thx for the idea

[viscid swift]

well you could use some more CVs so your air space control and recon isn't in the gutter

Eldridge off tanking as well but other than that it looks fine

[waxen valley]

I can’t beat 13-1

[whole crypt]

what was dying

[little tree]

what are your fleets

[little tree]

[waxen valley]

WHY

[little tree]

post your dock in a thread

1st big issue is fleet levels and no AA carry

[waxen valley]

can u make it cos i dont know how to make a thread

[slow fox]

New Voroshilov dropped @viscid swift

118.73

[slow fox]

What L/M/H type do you want the bullets to be

[stark quiver]

Any news on the afct?

[little tree]

whats afct?

[slow fox]

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

[stark quiver]

hi whats the difference

[ivory pawn]

All goes without saying. Basics excludes skins, ships you haven’t seen yet, and probably some other stuff.

[whole crypt]

no wait for lab or major shop update

[whole crypt]

only downloads basic stuff needed to run game

[sweet delta]

Why does that matter I mean just set voroshilov's uptime to 0 and maybe don't have to remove air damage

[whole crypt]

game will go into download for missing assets basically everywhere

[stark quiver]

ig im going with all assets

[slow fox]

Oh I thought you were asking for a row (of bullet type). Okay. Will do Voroshilov (No AAeHP)

[sweet delta]

Also she's 0.15 eva not 0.2

[whole crypt]

unless you're really short on space I'd go all assets to avoid it going into download loop when it's inconvenient

[slow fox]

What I just did the calc kms

I just turned the AADmgRed to zero

[sweet delta]

117.6% and 113.5%

[slow fox]

This was also when I turned the uptime of the EVABoost to zero

So the 113 (probably 112) is if her AA guns just didn't fire

[polar lion]

2hr purple E or 2hr blue Q better drops?

[wind hazel]

Q

[plain saffron]

Below won't download ships sprite

But it will check and download when needed

So if you choose below then you login and you have all ship, it will download all anyways

If you're new player, just the starting ships, then download on gacha when get new ship
Then download when playing story that have new ships, micro downloads everywhere

[stark quiver]

also does downloading assets at 7 mb/s on mumu sound normal

[honest sequoia]

same goes to my bluestack too
im guessing thats normal

[whole crypt]

isn't that just depending on your internet

[wind hazel]

yes

[honest sequoia]

on emu my download speed is 7-10
but on my phone its way higher

[weak dust]

what armor class are CV

[wind hazel]

most med, some heavy

no fixed armour, gotta wiki them up

[icy cave]

My Download speed on emu is 30mb/s, yeah it depends on ur internet

[honest sequoia]

is using a 1:3 / 3:1 fleet (depending on what PR ship is that) good for grinding PR exp? or should i just 3:3

[wind hazel]

3:3

[whole crypt]

maybe your mobile has better internet

[mint flint]

you have oil cap, no reason to use 1:3

[whole crypt]

3:3 with oil cap

[honest sequoia]

wouldnt backline steal all the exp no?
cuz im farming vanguard exp for PR

[mint flint]

same amount of xp is given for every ship regardless of the amount

[wind hazel]

mvp rigging is a waste of time, and they all get the same exp regardless

[mint flint]

barring flagship and mvp but dont bother with mvp controlling

[whole crypt]

MVP control is a lost cause you're just wasting time on longer fights because vanguards do less

[icy cave]

What are research priority if Im trying to get LA-9 prints
I only know to pick rigging analysis if I see one

[whole crypt]

not sure I'll take 2hr E over 4hr G do we have some rough rates or is it just time and cost

[vocal sandal]

When is the next ur event

[whole crypt]

next new UR is late May with CN anniv

[wind hazel]

not sure gotta ask cheeky, i personally push 4hG to the last lul

[vocal sandal]

Is there gonna be a ur rerun before it?

[viscid swift]

It doesn't really matter as said because xp is still xp and you'll burn through the grind in no time but you can also get creative

[whole crypt]

no idea but probably not

[viscid swift]

Like so

[vocal sandal]

Alright

[stark quiver]

125 already

[wind hazel]

yours isnt?

[viscid swift]

It's been how many months now since her event

[stark quiver]

mine is lvl 1
because fp is too far down the prio list

[wind hazel]

i forgot you're the 10rld guy

[stark quiver]

the what now

[whole crypt]

I don't even remember awakening for 125 but apparently she's already capped

[wind hazel]

how many rld now

[stark quiver]

40 cv

[wind hazel]

pro

[whole crypt]

0 bb rld is all you need for soynak

[stark quiver]

i finished bb rld a good while ago
(never grind with okl,cali, and nevada in the same fleet)

[whole crypt]

bb rld is actually much lower priority than cv

[stark quiver]

yea

also can i just say, life b4 and after max cv rld, is the same, probably shouldve done more of hit/avi

[whole crypt]

if it feels the same it's a you problem

[stark quiver]

also it is?
i thought it would be more important to get the partial/full 4th salvo, or 5th i forgot

[whole crypt]

if you fancy stat oathing too sure

also "getting 4 salvos" is not the goal, it is the means

it's one way to pursuit oneshots on maybe arb/harb and showdowns depending on the month/gimmick

[pulsar hornet]

We don't have a bomber with interception just yet right?

[wind hazel]

which bomber lol

[stark quiver]

dive bomber no
torpedo bomber yes

[normal cedar]

whats the difference between colorado and west virginia? their one skill is same and other retro skill is also.... same?

Ive retroed maryland, who should I retro next from those two

[wind hazel]

they both are about the sameish from one another

just flip a coin

[whole crypt]

best big 7 retrofit is Nelson, the rest are kind of just collection or if you can't wait for her from drop or rookie mission

[sweet delta]

Maryland bosses better than Nelson, even more better if she loses health

[hallow mountain]

What's the best stage to farm for Lil Formi trust

idk if I should be wary of my morale or oil for some stages

12-4?

[weak dust]

what is criteria for "completion" of an op si stage

[weak dust]

ye, 12-4 is oil dump

[stark quiver]

whatever your normal farming stage is

[stark quiver]

clear all enemies?

[weak dust]

i mean to get the shop voucher tickets

[stark quiver]

what mission/task is that

[weak dust]

to get these

says given on completion of a op si stage

[stark quiver]

all these things get converted into vouchers at end of month, aka each reset

[weak dust]

ohhhh

oki ty

[stark quiver]

if you do opsi regularly, youll end up with around 10-14k of these vouchers, its mostly from excess special item tokens and arbiter rewards, as well as supply coins

[weak dust]

its my first month doing it
dont know anything on it

[rocky tinsel]

How do you populate your ships into the Fleet tool? Manually?

[sinful escarp]

since you just started you wont have any vouchers until next May 1st.

[rocky tinsel]

Woof. Definiately going to write a screenshot scraper at the very least

[weak dust]

dang gotta wait a full 2 weeks before autoing hiddens

[sinful escarp]

we've all been there, things get easier after a while. this game rewards consistency a lot

[weak dust]

makes me wish i started op si earlier

[rapid grail]

opsi is kind of a slog but its mostly chill if you keep it up alongside what you're doing atm

Game plays itself most of the time

[zenith stag]

are there any true coin sinks in the game? like raising equipment is limited by plates, 3d dorm roses are weekly limited, the shop is unreliable, special gear is limited by the exp mats and stuff

[dreamy blade]

cats

[rocky tinsel]

@weak dust you will learn quickly where the towers that reveal the whole map spawn, and you can spend a moment looking for them before you hit auto

[rapid grail]

chasing good/ideal cats will cost millions of coins in multiple years

[zenith stag]

only cats? I have so many gold boxes if I don't use the auto complete i'm never gonna clear them all out lol. and frankly i'm a bit lazy to do them since I already have a pretty stacked set of cats

[rapid grail]

retrofits it you aren't 100% collection yet

oh shit, you're 2018 player, you might as well have most of these tasks done by now

[zenith stag]

already there. well technically the coin loss isn't too bad since I always have excess, just that not being able to claim the daily coins feels slightly bad lol

[stark quiver]

lwk just buy out the entire coin shop

[dreamy blade]

i mean if youre at that point then the canteen coins dont really matter right lol

[zenith stag]

guess it's cats again. i'll try to reach 9999 goldboxes cuz why not

[stark quiver]

i assume you finished all the pr ships?
at least 1-4 seaz

[rapid grail]

you can leave canteen coins to rot ngl

[zenith stag]

ye. just wanted to ask here in case i missed some really obvious coin sink i didn't think of

[dreamy blade]

cats are really the only one, and most people dont have a set of perfect cats so it keeps them busy

[stark quiver]

i usually keep 1 or two resetter cats, so i can coin sink anytime

[whole crypt]

not sure what you mean by stacked cats, just getting them to 30 is not the goal, getting one with the right talents is

if you've been lucky with that then good on you, otherwise it'll be months of getting new cats and rerolling old oner

[zenith stag]

i got a bunch with 3% dmg up skills and proper talents for each set of backline and frontline. not super perfect, since not all have 3% damage reduction as well, but good enough that i'm happy not touching cats anymore

[icy cave]

How do you reroll cats?

[whole crypt]

it is the single largest lategame coin sink if you're done LBing/retrofitting/ enhancing in general

[sinful escarp]

reset skills

thats why base skills are important for cats

[weak dust]

but those are only on some levels
right?

[sinful escarp]

choose cats with good base talents, lvel them and keep rolling until they get the talents you wants

[whole crypt]

cats get to pick talents every 5 levels, you can reset them to their base talents if you didn't get good options on level up

[icy cave]

Ohh

[whole crypt]

ideally you wait for one with good base talents then you level it up and reroll for ideal talents

[zenith stag]

3 steps:

1. buy cats to get a nice set of base talents (3% dmg up is typically the choice) or something like the ACE pilot 15 AVI 8 RLD talent for CV cats
2. level them up to 30
3. if you don't like the talents given during level up you can spend around 12k coins to reset the talent points so you can reassign them

[icy cave]

It takes a while to level cats too...

[whole crypt]

yes

[stark quiver]

it takes a long ahh while

[whole crypt]

biggest problem being gold boxes are rather limited

[icy cave]

I shall be content with sub optimal cats then

[whole crypt]

and you can buy boxes for years without being able to get the ideal rolls

[sinful escarp]

that is me, even now i only have okay BB cats

[icy cave]

I play quite frequently imo but my tempesta cats aren't even 30 yet

[zenith stag]

https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/9kxyg3/cat_talentability_tier_list_926_by_uni/

super old tier list but still relevant, unless some new skills got added and I somehow missed them

[whole crypt]

suboptimal is usually fine, it's more of how far from optimal are you willing to take

[stark quiver]

unless youre like gameplay maxxing, then perfect cats are like kinda niche

[whole crypt]

pretty sure that list is 🚮

[zenith stag]

haha. if you don't know anything though, it's a not bad place to start

[icy cave]

I'm just working towards meta one shots now, focusing on gear levels and fleet tech

[zenith stag]

imo fleet tech takes even longer than chasing a set of good cats

[whole crypt]

see that's the beauty of it... cats don't matter for META showdowns

[stark quiver]

meta? then cats are like useless

[icy cave]

[wind hazel]

naaaahhhhhh

[icy cave]

Never really noticed

[stark quiver]

you want perfect cats if youre a cm goofball or or like wanna do stuff with harby

[icy cave]

I'm not at the point of harby one shots too

[zenith stag]

depends on how much time you have to grind 11-4 or 12-4 day to day for fleet tech. I had a lot of time during weekends to burn through cats with coins, but i'm still no where near done with fleet tech lol

[wind hazel]

i burn coin everyday and i've yet to get the cat i've wanted, since a year ago

maybe i have dogshit luck

[stark quiver]

im not gonna lie with yall, my best cat is prob drake/every

[whole crypt]

I'm this close to finishing tech but my only "perfect" cat is still Edelweiss

[zenith stag]

I actively did cats for like 3 years since their implementation to get my set of cats lol. it ain't fast either

[stark quiver]

all my cats have been fuckall, and gold boxes are really hard to cume across

[weak dust]

does corruption lvl of the sector affect what rewards you get
like comparing a corruption 2 vs corruption 5

[zenith stag]

ngl i'm not sure if they nerfed the rates of rainbow skills from gold cats. most of my cats with 2 rainbow skills were achieved in the first 2 years of cats being implemented

[stark quiver]

most of your luck was spent in the first 2 years

[stark quiver]

yeh

[zenith stag]

higher corruption zones tend to have larger maps which corresponds to more loot

[stark quiver]

also hi, how would the gear look for vanguard, for ops farming

[whole crypt]

higher corruption zone tends to give you higher rarity materials for one, and you don't get cat dive nodes in low c

[zenith stag]

I would personally run more FP heavy frontline for my clearing fleet, since torps don't clear mobs super well, but if you're running that lineup quad magnetic torps are still the way to go

[whole crypt]

rng is rng, it's just the same idea as rolling your banner in the first 10 or burning 800 cubes for an elite

[stark quiver]

ah thx, i was mainly wondering if quad mag or teatorp

[zenith stag]

yup. no idea if rates got worse or if i just got omega lucky myself. only experience i have is anecdotal so that's all i can say.

[stark quiver]

i forgot xfleet

[whole crypt]

[zenith stag]

personally i'm running a non-maxed clearing fleet with 1 healing cv since it gives a little bit of exp :x

[stark quiver]

tempesta cat enjoyer
i would copy that if i had 3 of 6 ships there lol

[whole crypt]

I only swap in new METAs for skill XP

[whole crypt]

I'd pick better cats if I had any

[stark quiver]

understandable

[whole crypt]

this is legit all I have left to level for tech, you can ignore those littles and muses

[stark quiver]

mfw nnt doesnt have y2 & sash leveled

[cobalt rapids]

you should level musashi and yortown for non tech purposes aswell

[quick mason]

Is she good?

[sinful escarp]

for a newbie yeah

[stark quiver]

if youre new yea

[quick mason]

Ohh

[wind hazel]

nagami: she's the best

[quick mason]

Okay I got her free though

[stark quiver]

youre f2p?

[whole crypt]

I've just been lazy to scrap them because I can't be arsed to enter the code

[stark quiver]

[quick mason]

She will be good for my third fleet

[whole crypt]

Saratoga is one of the top mobbing CVs

[icy cave]

I realised that I retired a lot of rare and elite ships previously without getting them to 120 for dock space, that would be my biggest hurdle now

[stark quiver]

[whole crypt]

you just didn't see the 2 spare copies of Shinano in the next row

[polar lion]

I do Aquila, Indepkai, Unikai : Z52, Ibuki, Unzen + xfleet. Usually stuffs dies around 4 ~ 7 secs and lots of stuffs staggers nicely to spill on subsequent waves for stronger mobs liek in stonkholds

[stark quiver]

the world if i had aql :
perma fishing didnt work

i guess its cna waiting party

[weak dust]

i can fight this now right?

[whole crypt]

I too am waiting for (a second) Aquila

[sinful escarp]

try it, you wont lose anything

[polar lion]

But I dun dew it anymoar till last few days of the month coz now I run all 5 slot lvling fodders + Unikai most of the time

[whole crypt]

at worst you get sent back out, and move on with some repairs

[weak dust]

ok

[polar lion]

Y do u want a 2nd Aquila?

[stark quiver]

flex on the plebs
and prob 2 fleet both have aql

[whole crypt]

to keep in different loadouts for OS and late campaign

[rapid grail]

no campaign content requiring 2 aquila

[stark quiver]

which brings us to point 1
flexxing on plebs

[whole crypt]

OS uses preload, I don't want to change gears to use in campaign

[still pond]

hey how do i get the csv file for azur lane tracker ? playing on pc blue stacks

[stark quiver]

its not in game, its imported from retropaint to mrlar or vice versa

[whole crypt]

tracker needs to be filled manually there's nothing you can export from the game

[still pond]

okay 😦

but ty ❤️

[astral oar]

guys i want to ask something

does rafaello can solo sustain a fleet?

[stark quiver]

uhh, what stage

and solo as in like 1:3 fleet or full fleet without healers

[sinful escarp]

oh that reminds me, if i want to put raffaelo in my opsi mobbing fleet, what gun do i give her?

[polar lion]

457

[astral oar]

no healers, im trying to powerfarm some ships and unicorn always overkill the stage

[zenith stag]

so like 11-1 or 12-4?

[astral oar]

11-4

or 12-1 need that chips

[polar lion]

Y u farming in 11-4?

[zenith stag]

if your ships are all near 100+ it shouldn't be an issue

[sinful escarp]

just do 12-1

[zenith stag]

those maps can be done without healers

[stark quiver]

what the sus
but anywayz, shouldnt need a healer in those maps

[astral oar]

okay, also in what stage in opsi i can get the items to retrofit san diego?

[sinful escarp]

you wont get retrofit mats in opsi

[zenith stag]

you buy it from the monthly shop

[sinful escarp]

Hard mode stages.
x-1 = DD prints.
x-2 = CL/CA
x-3 = BB
x-4 = CV

since sandy is a CL then do hard mode X-2 stages

[zenith stag]

do you mean the retrofit prints? or the microphone item?

[whole crypt]

the modernization item is in prototype shop for spec cores, prints is just consistently playing hardmode and checking shops

[astral oar]

the microphone item

[stark quiver]

spec core

[polar lion]

I run lvl89+ Rafa for a time b4 to test whether she can carry my other 2 low lvl BMs since I got frustrated they kept on sinking and she alone did able to carry those 2 shitters by virtue of ending the battle faster than even 2 lvl 115+ BBs + 1 BM

[whole crypt]

if your concern is Unicorn MVP just give her shit planes or use a different healer, if fleet can survive without healer then just level another ship

[stark quiver]

or just vestal/akashit
if they steal mvp by shooting planes, thats unfortunate

[astral oar]

my only healer is unicorn and rafaello

[astral oar]

imma try that with 120 rafaelo

[zenith stag]

there are a ton of healer ships, vestal, akashi, arizona, perseus, klaudia

[whole crypt]

Shouhou

[zenith stag]

can use one of them instead if you want them

[astral oar]

my luck is a bit shit

[whole crypt]

Shouhou involves zero luck

[zenith stag]

:x run raffaello then if you already have her.

[polar lion]

Yea can try Vestal too. She works wonderfully by making my BMs zombie reviving again and again whenever they are dying

[quick mason]

Poverty Auxiliary BB what's better?

[whole crypt]

Shouhou involves zero luck.

[sweet delta]

~~Klaudia involves zero luck ~~

[zenith stag]

fcr

[whole crypt]

pls to rerun thx

[zenith stag]

hit is generally more important than fp

[whole crypt]

why not use both

[zenith stag]

^ that too

[quick mason]

Alright 🗿

Is hit like accuracy?

[astral oar]

im a bit unlucky with the gold prints

[whole crypt]

hit is more important if you're missing, which I doubt is a major concern for engaging with poverty gear

[whole crypt]

but you can use her without retrofit, it's nowhere near what Unicorn's does

[quick mason]

Ohh okay

[astral oar]

i farmed for a week or two for ayanami retro and i got no gold prints at all

[zenith stag]

well if you're raising poverty gear i'm assuming he's trying to push higher story stages. if that's the case more hit is prob gonna help more than fp

[quick mason]

Right I was in 12-4

[zenith stag]

wait if you're in 12-4 you shouldn't be using purple gear tho

[quick mason]

Poverty

[sweet delta]

Not much we can help with for waifu gaming

[zenith stag]

oof

[quick mason]

I'm to broke

[astral oar]

10+ those poverty gears

[quick mason]

My only strongest BB is NJ

[whole crypt]

you won't really notice it for regular grinding, it's really the later bosses with eva you're concerned with, but yes that's kind of concerning for 12-4

[zenith stag]

i wouldn't raise any more purple gear if i were you. purple plates if you're in poverty is really hard to get, and gold gear eats a lot of them

[polar lion]

Is it safe threat level?

[quick mason]

Nahh it's red

[astral oar]

oof

[whole crypt]

farm something lower first

[astral oar]

powerfarm in 12-1

[quick mason]

Lethal

[whole crypt]

if you have trouble clearing that is

[quick mason]

I can clear 12-3 by sorting

[zenith stag]

I think go farm 11-1 or smth. do your hard modes daily to try to get enough daily prints to buy the gold white shell instead of using the purple one

[tranquil dagger]

Is it worth spending the 1k oil on defence exercises?

[whole crypt]

what 1k oil

[zenith stag]

defence exercises?

[whole crypt]

the comission?

[tranquil dagger]

Yeah

[quick mason]

Well that includes Enty

This are my only the strongest

[zenith stag]

oh the 10 hour one? it's decent coin if you have the spare oil

[whole crypt]

generally oil is better spent grinding directly

[sweet delta]

I'm pretty sure that's the cube commission

[quick mason]

Including Enty

[zenith stag]

emphasis on spare oil

[tranquil dagger]

This one

[whole crypt]

if it's cube and you have spare oil then sure I guess

[zenith stag]

oh if it's cubes it's def worth

[astral oar]

yes do it

[stark quiver]

1k oil for 1-2 day of coob

[polar lion]

Yea better use oil on farming on w12

[tranquil dagger]

granted I don't actually have said oil but noted going forward

[whole crypt]

but don't keep doing the long commission

[tranquil dagger]

I'm still waiting to access w8 dw

[astral oar]

keep at eye on those 250 oil coms

or the chips and cube coms

[whole crypt]

grinding directly is better XP and coins if you're into oilcap already

[tranquil dagger]

I'd say uvh is the worst choice there followed by kron

You should either wait 2 days for Vanguard or pick shinano

[weak dust]

i have fleets already for both

do i just pick kron bc i dont have?

i already have vanguard

[sweet delta]

Shinano then

[polar lion]

Vanguard mlb?

[weak dust]

no

[zenith stag]

are you able to clear higher level content without shinano? and how impt is collection to you

[weak dust]

+Raff

[sweet delta]

Shinano again

[weak dust]

so go nano?

[zenith stag]

I would go shinano

[weak dust]

k

[polar lion]

Vanguard needs 4 UR bulins
Nano needs 2 UR bulins

[weak dust]

so i either
get nano+bulin
get kron
wait for vanguard
?

[polar lion]

Nano coz she's the closest u can mlb

[zenith stag]

Kron isn't the best unit even when fully raised. I recced her cuz I would prioritise collection over power if I were in your shoes. If you're so short on UR bulins you can't raise your URs to MLB I would prioritise getting the handful of URs to MLB first.

[weak dust]

nano is benched rn, using amagi, rumey, and uni for mob

[zenith stag]

then how important is the collection to you? if it's important enough that you'd think of getting Kron i'd do that.

[weak dust]

ig ill go kron for coll %

[sweet delta]

Complete the best anti heavy fleet in the game, vs getting 0.1%more collection rate

[zenith stag]

hey i'd go for the 0.1% myself too lol. don't judge

[tame jungle]

i'm judging

it's like buying brand clothes before paying rent

[weak dust]

i still havent claimed so...

[zenith stag]

how much opsi content are you doing

[polar lion]

Do u know your non mlb shiny UR grills are pretty trash in performance when they are not mlb?

[zenith stag]

are you able to consistently clear the hard mode of the stronghold in the middle?

[weak dust]

ya

[sweet delta]

What's the difference between 68.8% and 69%, you can go back for kron any time

It's only 99.8% vs 100% that I'd care about

[zenith stag]

well if you're able to do that and clear w13 no problem I wouldn't see any issue with starting to go for collection personally. getting more power at this point doesn't speed up your farming too much. it depends on where your priorities lie in playing this game

[weak dust]

ya i cleared w13

[sharp socket]

get shinano if you're focused on gameplay, whoever else if waifu/collection/very casual

[weak dust]

you see thats the problem, im transtitioning from casual to more focused rn, so i still have the collecter mindset but i pay attention more to gameplay now

[sweet delta]

Stop being so indecisive

[sharp socket]

in that case shinano period

[zenith stag]

if you want to chase power i'd highly recommend Shinano mlb.

[eternal basalt]

focused cannot be collector?

[sweet delta]

There's nothing more to say

[tame jungle]

just fucking do shinano

[whole crypt]

you will get around to Kronshtadt long before you can eye for 100%

[zenith stag]

i'd love to do shinano any day of the week

[tame jungle]

cringe

[weak dust]

lol ok
i go fox

[whole crypt]

just pick the efficient option first

[rocky tinsel]

The three rainbow item blueprints in the prototype shop are always the same?

er 5?

[zenith stag]

yea they're the PR dedicated rainbow gear

you get to buy 1 full one from the shop

they don't refresh when the shop resets, so you can choose which one to prioritise.

[light trail]

can i get some help with gear and sync for implac for light in opsi pls?

my planes in case it helps

[storm heron]

how much tech do you have

also I'm not too sure but ykII probably prefers kearsarge over fritz? when used with implac

[light trail]

oh also i forgot, yk2 and fritz are not affection 200 yet, im on it rn tho

[light trail]

i dont got her dev 30

if i had her i'd use her lol

[storm heron]

I mean you can try this for yourself if you'd like but I can give one for you https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/

you can put your tech, your cats,

[light trail]

+13 rld, +30 avi, +7 acc (and some hp and aa but i dont think that matters)

only rld matters here actually lol

does putting the cats there matter for making synced airstrikes?

[dreamy blade]

If they have rld skills

[light trail]

but if they all apply the same buff then why must they be included in the calculation if my goal is to get the timings as close to identical

[tame jungle]

just input the cats

[light trail]

while on that topic, why should tech be included if it's applied the same to every ship of the same type

[tame jungle]

more tech brings the launch windows closer together since it affects the slower ships more iirc

[storm heron]

I think it depends

[light trail]

that's rly strange

[wind hazel]

200 oath 0 rld. kinda pepega actually, so hard to sync no oath lol

and require triple aux

[storm heron]

ah yes I don't even know their ships' affinity

is it 100 oath, 200 oath, normal

[wind hazel]

if input cat and varying affinity then it gets even more weirdge

[tame jungle]

tldr just input the cats and tech

[wind hazel]

impla is faz

[storm heron]

time to gimp damage by slowing impla with skyraider

[dreamy blade]

+100 rld to a base rld stat of 100 is going to be a different change from +100 to say base 20

[tranquil dagger]

should I do anything with her atm? CL59 and on w7

[tame jungle]

you won't have the resources

[tranquil dagger]

Got it, off to commissions she goes

[storm heron]

if u want to just get like 4 or 7 blueprints daily

[light trail]

wym no oath? also tyty

[tame jungle]

0 rld tech

[storm heron]

was arizona meta hard to 1 shot

oh she's heavy armor 💀

[light trail]

why does the calculator show different times from in game? in game it says 21.42s. i added the rld tech and relevant cat buffs and it says 20.60

[whole crypt]

the fleets of yesteryear were about 80-90% consistent, not sure about now

[whole crypt]

have you read Implacable's skills

[light trail]

forgot about that one

so in game gear screen doesnt account for skills -_-

[light trail]

would a second hvar be better than the bf

[wind hazel]

2nd hvar would improve dmg, but you will have to recalculate the sync

[light trail]

okok

exactly how pepega is this tho? like, it's not gonna totally gimp everything right

i have plenty of cores to spare and not rly anything to spend em on, but figured i'd ask before spending 1000 cores if this is worth doing

[wind hazel]

if you ask me, use BB with mk7 👍🏼

but getting 1-2 beacon and 1 manjuu is pretty normal, and you will get more core data than you can spend

just make sure you have the priority gear from core data before you spend them all though

like maybe you only have 1 oxytorp...

[light trail]

i regret to inform u that i dont yet have an mk7

[wind hazel]

actually that's a stupid thing to say, oxytorp part

mk6 then lol

[light trail]

i quit before NJ event for like a year so it's still in the gear lab backlog lol

[wind hazel]

and finish boss off with 2nd fleet

[light trail]

stupid bc not actually priority?

[wind hazel]

yeah kinda

meeting timing is more important than extra damage

[light trail]

my only (offensive-oriented) BB option would be fdg, other than raff but she's not rly offensive from what i read here. i have vanny, musashi, and alsace as my BB fleet, IJN URs as my CV fleet #1, and ofc implac/fritz/yk2 as my CV fleet #2

[wind hazel]

just swap musashi with fdg or raff for this month

then finish off with ijn or cv2

[light trail]

if i have trouble killing harbiter i'll do that

[wind hazel]

well you wont have trouble killing it...

[light trail]

actually makes no sense for me to not just swap ships and try that lol

i'll try with the team i have first and then use the order command if i must

[sullen birch]

Is this good Torp bomber for mobs?
The wyvern is too expensive to make and I already have one

[tame jungle]

no

[sullen birch]

Or is this better option ?

[dreamy blade]

you dont have the electronics to be window shopping in gear lab

just use a gold barracuda or buy a breguet from the core shop

[tame jungle]

big problem with the skypirate = it's also expensive and going to be replaced with wyvern when you get it anyway

it's essentially going to be wasted materials in that way

[sullen birch]

I have one wyvern already
And it's on unicorn
I need one like back up for independence

[tame jungle]

you save up for 2nd wyvern ez

[sullen birch]

Like follow up

[tame jungle]

patience is a virtue

[sullen birch]

I know
The problem it's hard to get electronics , and their is alot stuff using it

[tame jungle]

surely pissing away your electronics is going to help then?

[weak dust]

what is good gear for first craft

[sullen birch]

No
But I'm trying to build good mob fleet for campaign and opsi especially the strong holds

[honest sequoia]

just save up enough materials for another wyvern

[sullen birch]

Ok

Then I need to buy another plane from the core shop

[whole crypt]

keep playing, you're already getting materials much faster nowadays than when OS/gear lab was launched

a lot of the important pieces use electronics, you'll just have to be efficient with it

[sullen birch]

Ok
For bombers not mob bombers
Boss bombers I know the skydivers is the best one
Who is the 2 and 3 spot

I would like their icons please so I can know them

[whole crypt]

you mean skyraider

[sullen birch]

Yes
I have it that one
Is best for bosses right?

[whole crypt]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment#dive_bombers

it has pictures and description, which you should use is going to depend

[sullen birch]

Thanks

[wind hazel]

does jp or cn patch note mention anything about admiral table?

[whole crypt]

no

[wind hazel]

[whole crypt]

wait for CN anniv to see if they do anything funny with lab, but my guess is shop

[polar lion]

Oxytorp was event limited b4 right?

[whole crypt]

yes

[left cedar]

so, AFCT gona be limited ... different from others UR gears from shop ...
i'm still trying to understood, why in hell they hold so fucking much auxs creation ...
isnt someshitty that goes broke the game since majoritary of gud gears are limited to 1 per ships or effects dont stack

[whole crypt]

did they actually say how it'll be added, because it's entirely possible to be monthly shop and not lim shop

we simply don't know right now

[left cedar]

still why in hell no in gearlab ?
isnt like AFCT gona broke the meta totally for BBs cuz they are shitty if compared to CVs, and isnt like CVs have something that gona broken to to be miles ahead of BBs

[eternal basalt]

They can this stream, or the CN stream...

[eternal basalt]

Cause no aux in gear lab

[left cedar]

just create teh tab there
they create for RN and Frenchs ...
isnt something impossible to do...

[whole crypt]

they can
we don't know if they will
we simply have no idea

[eternal basalt]

Yes, but more something they do for CN anni

[whole crypt]

if it'll be lab, next lab update should be CN anniv anyway

I'm just guessing it'll be shop because lab currently has no aux and we have precedence of event rainbow aux with oxytorp

but for all intents and purposes we don't know until it actually gets added

[eternal basalt]

Z flag

[whole crypt]

Z flag was a different type of event

[left cedar]

isnt something that barely exist anyway?

[whole crypt]

even then it's still core shop, so we don't know if it'll be monthly or lim

so as we always say... just wait for it

[left cedar]

Soon ™️

[wind hazel]

is this the new UR event lol

[whole crypt]

oh EN posted shit?

[boreal wagon]

its probably just a new faction for the non UR event

[whole crypt]

yeh

[wind hazel]

CN posted too, same time

[whole crypt]

new UR won't be till CN anniv, but looks like we'll be getting the dutch in some form then

[left cedar]

Tulipa ? wata hell !?

[whole crypt]

JP only one that didn't say a thing about it lmao

[wind hazel]

washed

[eternal basalt]

April event, stream 21st

[left cedar]

Ottomans ?

[whole crypt]

presumably the Dutch

[eternal basalt]

🇳🇱

[whole crypt]

CN words it very clearly it's a KoT event

[left cedar]

why not South America ... we have more warships than any other non major faction from world in WW2

[whole crypt]

so Soyuz has again been used as banner bait

[tame jungle]

go ask the devs

[left cedar]

iirc, South America in WW2 have 5 Dreadnoughts and 1 in construction in the beggining of WW1 ...
but okay so ...

[dreamy blade]

does that mean it's possible a pr8 ship will require dutch tech...

[wind hazel]

well even if it does it will have the 2nd as sub

[left cedar]

not a concern, cuz minor facts have a "OR" and 2 facs can farm it

[dreamy blade]

im just talking about the requirements to even start development, not cdc

since idk what the timeline was like for NP being added and chkalov needing it to start

[eternal basalt]

NP was added in 2020 so... (well Avrora was sooner vut first event)

[whole crypt]

probably too little tech to unlock and also no other source for anyone who misses this event

[whole crypt]

not the XP, the unlock reqs

[left cedar]

probally new fac it will have twice points per ships, like KMS, SN and goes on
and even if they do add a new fac, probally a new PR ship of that should go to next or even 2y later
