[eager marsh]

can you make auto search pick up the extra ammo in 13-4?

[forest palm]

pretty sure it will tell you if you tap on it

[forest palm]

campaign AI too dumb for that

[warped acorn]

it didnt for me

[tawdry halo]

It doesnt

[warped acorn]

also is there anything in war archive good

[tawdry halo]

For your situation, just stick to Campaign Worlds

[forest palm]

Radford, Harutsuki, Juno, and Kino from left to right

[tawdry halo]

you are not going to do anything significant in War Archive with your awkward formation

[warped acorn]

alr

[tawdry halo]

War archive can wait for later when you finally fix your formation up

[honest sequoia]

No

nothing is worth in war archive

[warped acorn]

interesting decoration

[honest sequoia]

Unless ur like me who farms washing machine in war warchive cuz im unlucky in research

[tawdry halo]

Unless you have too much fuel and you want to grind already happened events

[tawdry halo]

Or if you want to remake the hunt of Bismarck in the Scherzo of Iron and Blood war archive with historical accurate shipgirls

Bismarck's Last Stand goes hard ngl

[silk helm]

yo gph anyone got a ex guide?

[carmine heath]

is heavy arbiter meant to be harder or am I missing something

[honest sequoia]

gave me a good idea to spend oil

[honest sequoia]

Arbiter strength is meant to be hardest

[wind hazel]

throw rainbows

[silk helm]

like ur ships?

[wind hazel]

yes

[silk helm]

hwo do i check the armor tyupe of ex?

[tawdry halo]

insert 0lmb UR ships and expect yourself to be invincible like some certain guy from MGRR

[wind hazel]

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

tl;dr it's light light light heavy heavy

[tawdry halo]

Are they heavier than Formidable though?

[wind hazel]

your mom

[tawdry halo]

Why so rude

[wind hazel]

because you're pinging me in gph for useless random shit. please go away

[honest sequoia]

[zenith heron]

I forgor about this, damn

Still find Hermit to be easier

[wind hazel]

i dont mind joking a bit, but when you see me helping people out, dont ping me triple times to do stupid jokes

[plain saffron]

@wind hazel hi

[warped acorn]

ah dang i have 20+ oil barrel left 😔

[tawdry halo]

Alr

[worldly pewter]

when u get stuck around 7 because of commander level u go to war archive because it has oil cap maps
the main one is divergent chessboard

[honest sequoia]

tbh why is it divergent chessboard specifically

[wind hazel]

ironblood ship

[honest sequoia]

for tech point??

[wind hazel]

yes, and gaining the elusive IB mainfleet for grinding

[normal cedar]

gneisenau, scharnhost and? who's the third in mainfleet

[zenith heron]

Well peeps want Roon (the hell?), FDG, Agir, Hindenburg immediately and sometimes, August von Parseval...

[wind hazel]

none, depends on your luck for 3rd. either get lucky from event, or medal shop

[warped acorn]

i shall touch grass with no progress now

[honest sequoia]

play the game long enough
eventually you wont run out of oil

[forest palm]

Roon's UE actually makes her better than Drake iirc

[mellow crown]

But my enty

[upbeat wagon]

Wait to get them in the medal shop

[sleek spade]

hey guys when are the next wishing wells? I kinda need Acquilla for ch15 .-.

[sinful escarp]

do you have volga?

[sleek spade]

no also. very sad!

[tawdry halo]

dw, you werent the only one to get into that situation

[wind hazel]

i think CN anni has ww

or maybe im wrong

[sleek spade]

ah that's gonna take a while

[wind hazel]

ye last year we had two ww, cn anni and global anni

i guess next month is earliest

[sleek spade]

mm ok thanks!

[cobalt rapids]

W15 is doable w.o volga aql

[sleek spade]

I dont really have a lot of options for healers

other than CVLs. maybe sth like Rafaelo in mobbing flag could work

[cobalt rapids]

Shes only one of the best

[sleek spade]

don't have her MLB tho lol. I'll have to do that

who would you recommend?

[warped acorn]

yea i shall wait for oil now

[cobalt rapids]

U can substitute 2ndary healers with dmg cvs for a hit in performance but clearing doesnt need max performance

Check endgame tierlist for w15 rankings

[sleek spade]

perhaps

[cobalt rapids]

Mayhaps

[warped acorn]

the commision start cost is just crazy

[cobalt rapids]

Its not worth doing

[hollow gust]

Actually my opinion on those have changed , they are op asf

[worldly pewter]

if u are an active player who has 17 oil

[hollow gust]

I got like 30 cubes in the past week from them

[honest stirrup]

from a commission that doesn't give cubes..?

[tawdry halo]

extra retrofit pieces is the most worthy thing in there, not worth doing if you are low on oil though

[plain saffron]

it's rng to get cubes one or not and not worth the price

[cobalt rapids]

It gives cubes but on rotation, anyway those cubes come with a progression cost attached or oil efficient xp/coins u give up

[tawdry halo]

either cubes or retro pieces, I've not done any since they gave cubes

besides 1k oil is costly when you are in an event that needs oil for grinding

[hollow gust]

I'm basically done with anything needing exp, it's all about the cube farm now

[cobalt rapids]

Dont u have like 2k coobs

[hollow gust]

I'm down to 1.5k

[tawdry halo]

he forgot to mine more cubes...

[hollow gust]

I spent 300+ cubes per event for the last 3

[viscid swift]

Massive skill issues

[tawdry halo]

you didnt need to fry him like that

[storm marlin]

Is there a max enhance limit?

[hollow gust]

Yep

[storm marlin]

Good. Trying to max enhance San Diego rn

[warped acorn]

the only one that make me able to match with those guys 2x higher than my commander lv 😔

[hollow gust]

Well that's pretty bad fleet so that's not a surprise

[tawdry halo]

why are you even bothering with exercise at this time rn, you arent cooking anyone

[warped acorn]

well seeing all my opponents lv 60+...

[tawdry halo]

what server are you anyway, just in case

[warped acorn]

cooked 5 of them today cuz manage to get some weak vanguards

[warped acorn]

lil enterpris

[tawdry halo]

Oh. Lucky you. I'm Amagier...

[warped acorn]

some of them have all lv 50 vanguards

[tawdry halo]

Dont even bother with exercises, you arent going to cook anyone once you reach higher ranks

[warped acorn]

im at over top 10k cuz i just started exercise

[tawdry halo]

The chance is that you get 1 or 2 weak defense formations out of all refresh

[warped acorn]

some might jumpscare me with high main power....

[hollow gust]

just do pvp for exp

[warped acorn]

i should try collect abt 2k barrel before next maintenance

[tawdry halo]

bunch of refresh for actual defeatable formations, while the rest are impossible to breach

[hollow gust]

you dont need to win

[tawdry halo]

you dont gain much with the losing scenario anyway

[hollow gust]

yiour fleets are going to get shit on by anything. Just find the highest power fleets and fight that for the best exp

[rapid grail]

And get <90% winrate, no thanks

[eager marsh]

does this give more coin?

[hollow gust]

caring about wr

[rapid grail]

literally just do opsi c1 instead for a more appropriate alternative

or just do a shit ton of 12-1/2/4 instead because its somehow "grindy"

[stone sluice]

Yes and I think it’s easier to beat

[hollow gust]

or do both? you get free exp , so just dd it. Winrate means jack shit when you are perpetually farming scrubs

[viscid swift]

Not to mention losing still gets you half the merits

Which are quite handy to have

[rapid grail]

whatever, this is becoming an unproductive conversation

[hollow gust]

you are the one who jumps in claiming fucking excerise winrate is important

[rapid grail]

EN stays EN

[wind hazel]

new players dont have access to opsi, nor w12. your advice is invalid

[viscid swift]

What

[mellow cape]

Third LA9, do I just go for a 4th at this point..?

[hollow gust]

4th is good

[wind hazel]

on the contrary, losing net you half the merit, which is still progress towards buying gold bulin

[viscid swift]

I would go for 4 yeah

[mellow cape]

I can't even think of a fleet I could use 4 with

LOL but yes I'll go for a 4th

[wind hazel]

fritz+nakh

[hollow gust]

nahkimov Fritz

Or Keary Yorktown Implacable

[mellow cape]

Wtf fritz can equip... 2

[viscid swift]

Yes

[mellow cape]

ty, 4th for sure then

[tame orchid]

Whats the priority order for protocore shop

[tame orchid]

Just that?

[honest sequoia]

PR3
just have 3 of them will do
and get a tenrai if you dont have one yet from protocore

[tame orchid]

Ive got one of that, the flandre gun and a tenrai

[honest sequoia]

get another one if you can

[tame orchid]

Aight thanks

[honest sequoia]

have 3 of the champ gun and youre good to go

[tame orchid]

Anything else?

[honest sequoia]

nothing else
The rest are niche usage so buy only if you know what youre doing

[tame orchid]

Aight 👍

[wind hazel]

just 1 more will do, no need grab 3rd

[honest sequoia]

i forgot the 380mm is an AP gun

i thought that was an SAP

[eager marsh]

is it more efficient to get that from proto than gear lab?

[honest sequoia]

protocore is cheaper imo

u might wanna get a second opinion

[wind hazel]

proto is indeed easier to get

[lime owl]

These are my only subs, which should i put in my fleet and what gear should i put on them? Also how do i get snorkels?

[jaunty vault]

snorkels are from coredata

[lime owl]

Ok

[jaunty vault]

as for subs

[wary skiff]

what is coalition battle

[lime owl]

ok and will snorkels and torps be fine to just shove on all of them?

[wary skiff]

ive got 30k points but havent found it yet

oh its the other option instead of solo lmaoa

[honest sequoia]

snorkell and hull

[lime owl]

what is a hull?

[honest sequoia]

Can be bought from core data

[lime owl]

alrighty

This is the snorkel right?

[hollow gust]

there is a actual item called snorkel

[fair lance]

This is what it looks like

[lime owl]

Thx

[normal cedar]

just found out focus 4 has proto tenrai prints, should I switch? im on focus 5 now which only has plymouth gun(of which I have 15 prints), idk which one is better

I am getting points for anchorage next for reference, and catchup for her is done so now its on fdg

[weary gust]

No, Tenrai is gearlab now, no reason to ever focus PR4.

You will get 1 copy from protocores and can craft others later.

[normal cedar]

ply gun is the same right? proto shop available, is focus 7 better the for la9?

[weary gust]

Ply gun is not in gear lab but PR5 can be coined so focus on it is questionable. PR7 would be better to focus on.

Note you'll still be building/coining ships from PR4/PR5, this is just about research focus.

[normal cedar]

alright, thanks then Ill switch to 7 then, already got proto vit 2 from 5

[hollow gust]

The one from 5 isn't very good

[normal cedar]

yea, I got it the focus is only for gear mostly for me

[hollow gust]

Vit2 from pr5 is the much less meta relevant parallel bomber

[normal cedar]

yea, im using it on enty for time being, better than tenzan for campaign was what I was told

[weary gust]

That white vit 2 is good for mobbing up to w12 and in opsi. After that the lack of AA on it makes it not so good.

[hollow gust]

Lack of AA isn't a problem

[wind hazel]

it's good enough until wyvern

[weary gust]

It's 2nd/3rd best parallel torp bomber after Wyvern where AA isn't a concern. It's not trash but it's very transitional.

and nowadays most players probably won't even get them because they're only in PR5 research so it's moot.

[wind hazel]

bagura has it...

[honest sequoia]

how does he have VIT2 while ive been doing pr5 since rafaello banner

And i cant craft VIT2 yet

[forest palm]

call that luck

[honest sequoia]

i can craft anything in pr5 but not the VIT2 yet

[forest palm]

[honest sequoia]

[turbid gyro]

who dis?

[forest palm]

Bolzano

if you're gonna ask these types of questions just do it in #al-general

[viscid swift]

Or reverse image search

[sweet delta]

What a gameplay helpy question

[little tree]

[honest sequoia]

why is it so quiet

how do i make warspite great again

[hollow gust]

retire her for medals

[forest palm]

#al-general

[meager tiger]

never was

maybe in 2019

before NJ came

[worldly pewter]

he was always a pr7 enjoyer i wonder why he changed his mind

[forest palm]

was practically power crept immediately by Howe

[meager tiger]

howe more like howe is this ship so mid

jk

[forest palm]

the Corgi had a very short self life

mostly cause EN blitz the fuck out of the event schedule

[stark quiver]

literally a amagi cv and haku fs moment

[forest palm]

or Percy and Ryuuhou

[little tree]

Isn't amagi cv still very good

[forest palm]

that one was funny, Ryuuhou was the this cool new single target healer that could also heal subs, then next couple of events Percy drops with fleet wide heal and pre-load

[honest sequoia]

very

amagi cv + haku is a good combo against heavy

[stark quiver]

fs drops and immedietly gets crept my amagi cv

[stark quiver]

wheres the slow

[little tree]

Haku still really good

[honest sequoia]

i run it with implac

[stark quiver]

that sounds likea horrific idea when shinano exists

[undone plover]

Both are valid
I would recommend 5 overall but if someone started 7 already then they should stay with 7 I think

[honest sequoia]

i have skill issues

[wanton dawn]

im in tw server and we still do not have shimanto fate sim. I have just completed her dev lvl 30, do i still get shimanto face missions in research academy? thanks. coz i havent been getting her in days already...

[little tree]

Shiano does less dmg smh

[stark quiver]

thats not even skill issue

[stark quiver]

or you can save up general bps and use them there

[forest palm]

if you haven't finished the season no you shouldn't see Shimanto prints

[hollow gust]

warspite retrofit was months before howe release, she was relevant for decently long time

[boreal wagon]

*faces (you can still get prints from the random ones)

[wanton dawn]

wait im kinda confused... so i dont get shimanto face missions but i can get her prints in random missions

[meager tiger]

for harbiters is it worth running synergistic URs together (eg yk2/kearsarge and ss/nakhimov) or should i make fleets around the enemy’s damage type weakness above all else?

[forest palm]

little less than a year from what I'm seeing, which is relatively short

[wanton dawn]

oh im dum yea i get it now tysm guys!

[little tree]

Shiano has been relevant for many years and is still good

[honest sequoia]

imma bench her when i get amagi cv

[undone plover]

If synergy is good go for the synergy
Neko + Soyuz
And kear + yk2 synergy is worth

[meager tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/seseren-shinano-azur-lane-gif-4986490939895895177

[forest palm]

funny enough Warspites retro item reran alongside Aurora Noctis too

[hollow gust]

both? certain ships are already good at different armor types

[little tree]

[sweet delta]

Harbiters don't have type weaknesses

[honest sequoia]

what

[meager tiger]

what abt the ones that have decreased resistance to shelling/torps/etc

unless im misremembering how opsi works

[wanton dawn]

i am far from completing keasarge and Hindenberg, should i move on to pr 7 for Nakhimov and La 9 planes?

[sweet delta]

Those are abyssals and they don't actually work

[forest palm]

man I forget how much of a game changer Aurora Noctis was, Percy → Howe → Sea Hornet lot of good shit for its time

[meager tiger]

i havent played in 2 years so idk shit anymore

[little tree]

Isn't sea hornet still decent?

[forest palm]

Sea Hornet is still good, just overpriced

[little tree]

Just not worth crafting

[sweet delta]

It's fine, the "weaknesses" have not worked for 4 years

[honest sequoia]

better than 500lb bombs

[undone plover]

I would
To try and finish it before pr8 release
But up to you
Most ppl I think recommend u stay and finish the season then move on

[worldly pewter]

yeah very good not only decent

[little tree]

[plain saffron]

Surely by year 5 they'll get fixed

[little tree]

[honest sequoia]

surely by 2026 we get enty II

[normal cedar]

I'm trying to understand how good gear works, can someone explain why this is so great, if there are grey planes that do more surface dps than it?

[forest palm]

Yongshi fixing their game? nah clearly you just haven't restarted your app enough times

[sweet delta]

I recommend switching to the max rarity tab

Or max enhance for +13

And also those gray planes are parallel, not converging

[worldly pewter]

didn't i explain to u the torpedo bombers ?

[normal cedar]

oh yeah you did, I didnt know that the list was mixed, I thought it was parallel only
sorry

[stark quiver]

my mind blanked

[worldly pewter]

read it again #gameplay-help message

[little tree]

Saw that

[sweet delta]

Wiki DPS assumes that everything hits

[little tree]

Nothing ever misses especially agirs slowa

[normal cedar]

max rarity, Prototype VIT-2 (VK-107) seems to have higher dps numbers than Polikarpov VIT-2 (Mode Change Prototype), both are parallel and lack AA, why is the latter better then? not to mention vk-107 has 6 trops while later only 4...

[sweet delta]

But mode change isn't parallel

As the samheart564 guide says

[neon plume]

when would we be able to get eldridge's retrofit item again? or nothing planned?

[normal cedar]

shit, my bad
my reading ability is getting worse by the second

sorry again

[vivid robin]

does anyone know which way to grind large amount of coins

[honest sequoia]

12-4

[little tree]

12 -4

[sweet delta]

Chapter 12 to 14

[vivid robin]

I haven't reach that 😭

[honest sequoia]

which chapter

[vivid robin]

currently on chapter 9

[honest sequoia]

Welcome to oil cap map

[stark quiver]

just push campaign

[little tree]

Rush to ch 12 unless you are dying on 9

[worldly pewter]

u can't rush campaign because of the commander level gate

[honest sequoia]

just buy commander level

[worldly pewter]

should be 9-1 then

[vivid robin]

currently 81 rn

[worldly pewter]

why stagnating in w9 then

[vivid robin]

can I reach chapter 12 ?

[stark quiver]

push campaign
if level capped
grind highest stage until you cna progress

[little tree]

[honest sequoia]

X-1 for exp
X-4 for gold
if u can push campaign just push

[little tree]

Only one way to find out you have 2 leveled fleets ?

[vivid robin]

noted

[worldly pewter]

u can do it with 1 fleet

not recommended though

[honest sequoia]

damn back when i started i was told to have 2 fleets by world 7 here in gph

[vivid robin]

im too lazy to do 1 level

[little tree]

[vivid robin]

ykw frick it, ill grind it

[worldly pewter]

if u want more coins push campaign it is that shrimple

[vivid robin]

noted

[jaunty glen]

hey guys can i ask you something?

[little tree]

[wind hazel]

who is phone?

[little tree]

Deez

[jaunty glen]

I have two choices here, well between accounts, the thing is that I had an account a long time ago and I lost it, but recently I found it when I returned to the game, so I don’t know which one is better to play on, on the one hand, yes, the old one has more shipgirls, but I still want to know your opinion (first is old and second is new, i asking mostly because of Fritz)

[sweet delta]

Depends on what the returnee rewards are and how many UR bulins and other resources the accounts can get

[stark quiver]

hi whos the tankiest tank in game

[sweet delta]

And whether you wasted gems

[little tree]

Mabey Napoli

Mebot knows

[stark quiver]

@slow fox i require your expertise

[sweet delta]

But the old account is likely better

[little tree]

Fritz is niche anyway

[sweet delta]

no nicher than shinano

[jaunty glen]

on both i wasted gems, returnee rewards are same, what about UR bulins honestly i didn't understand that, i asking because in other gacha is big power crip for newer character, and if i remember fritz is newer than shinano and new Jersey, and this is why i am wondering

[weary gust]

AL powercreep is very gradual and usually in one specific area. It's rare one ship comes out that's better than everything else in that role in every situation. Fritz is less useful than Shinano in most situations but more useful in some.

[silk helm]

Isn't there like a ehp doc? I swear there was

[little tree]

Does that doc take into account healing skills ?

thankyou

[meager tiger]

when gearing ships, specifically main line ships like carriers and bbs, does the time per wave number mean how long it takes that ship to launch an airstike or salvo?

[jaunty vault]

yes

the firerate on gear tab does not consider skills so it may be inaccurate sometimes

[meager tiger]

also, does anyone know the optimal fleet for clearing hornet meta? i have basically basically every ship in the game, and all the URs as well as PR/DR ships maxed, so lack of ships isnt an issue

[sweet delta]

@meager tiger

[meager tiger]

🐐 🐐 🐐

uhhh, looks like nakhimov/soyuz/rumey and unzen/plymouth/z52?

idk the little headshots of the characters that well

[sweet delta]

Yes, z52 is tank

[stuck owl]

All I have going into the second area 😂

[hollow gust]

Go to guild shop, buy Unicorn, refresh shop buy Helena

Unicorn Pennsylvania Long Island
Portland Helena Z23

[stuck owl]

Not in guild

[hollow gust]

dont need to be

you get 4k currency for free

[stuck owl]

So wait buy Portland?

[hollow gust]

guess buy portland too, if you somehow dont have her already

[stuck owl]

I do not

[hollow gust]

Unicorn and Helena are elites, portland is rare in the shop

[slow fox]

She's in the eHP chart yuuh

Napoli

[stuck owl]

It forced me to do this 😂

Also i ran out of ammo last stage 😦 was just about to beat up the boss

[ivory pawn]

You can fight without ammo.

You just suffer a damage penalty.
Also, drag Pennsylvania to the middle slot.

[steep copper]

My current Mob and Boss set ups. Are there any obvious changes I should make?

[hollow gust]

well what world are you in

although BB-less is not a good idea for any world

[stuck owl]

She doesn't wanna go anywhere but front

[steep copper]

Just got to Chapter 13

[stuck owl]

Ahh okay she was fine moving now

[hollow gust]

Nelson Kai instead of shinano, and ditch percy for shinano

Yuudachi instead of anshan, and Heinrich needs another ironblood ship to perform at fullest

[stuck owl]

Is that better?.

[hollow gust]

your frontline was fine
Portland Helena Z23

[sinful escarp]

Swap portland and helena position

Then put helena in the middle

From left to right corner it should be: portland, helena, z23

[stuck owl]

So this?

It's so hard to tell what ship is what 😂

[sinful escarp]

Yep

Its because for the frontline positioning matters. The left slot is for the tank, middle is for the squishy one, right is for the off-tank

[stuck owl]

Should I throw a second fleet together since the game told me too 😂

[hollow gust]

no]

[sweet delta]

You should throw a second fleet together and don't use it to battle

[sinful escarp]

Its faster to just use 1 fleet atleast until maybe w9 or 10

[stark eagle]

How do i Beat This?

[weary gust]

If you haven't beaten easy by yourself I would hazard a guess that you aren't anywhere near ready to beat it on hard.

[stark quiver]

https://suchiguma.github.io/challengemode/april
tldr break bar, kill ballz, rinse & repeat

[stark eagle]

No i am asking for hard

I am level 130

[stark eagle]

Can somebody give me a fleet for hard?

[stark quiver]

[sweet delta]

There are several fleets in the link, but you must match the reload amounts

[stark eagle]

Alright

[sweet delta]

There's no foolproof fleet for this month besides "soyuz with 200 RLD and two CVs"

[stark eagle]

And what are those cv

[stark quiver]

any 2 cv thats not asss

[stark eagle]

Okay

[stark quiver]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/
alternatively, you can diy a fleet

[stark eagle]

What means "diy"?

[vale spindle]

do it yourself

[stark quiver]

craft something up

[stark eagle]

Thank you

[meager tiger]

why do some of the planes have wifi connection

[stark quiver]

it means its converging and not parallel
torps go ( > ) instead of ( = )

[meager tiger]

yeah i know, i was just memeing

[inner idol]

How good is implacable still or did she fall off and is she bossing or mobbing?

[meager tiger]

implacable still top tier, good for bossing

[inner idol]

Cool

Unrelated but when is meta taihou gonna be perm?

[meager tiger]

she has a strong slow and slight buff to royal navy ships but the buff isnt worth building around

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

[eternal basalt]

Going to be a long wait, she was the last META

[forest palm]

the HMS buff is largely irrelevant and you'll likely never use it, because HMS can't make a CV worth a damn that does actual damage

[inner idol]

Oof

[neon plume]

what's a better pick in those scanning platforms in opsi? search for hidden enemies, or hidden materials?

[eternal basalt]

neither

[forest palm]

Hidden Materials

[eternal basalt]

Spend 2 tokens for <200 coins... wasted vouchers

[forest palm]

oh, no spelt milk

it really doesn't matter

when you run into the towers it's either Hidden Materials, or Smash, and when going up to the boxes Smash again

[neon plume]

no chance to get good mats, ever?

like UR prints or something

[forest palm]

nope

[neon plume]

thanks for the heads up

[inner idol]

Is the prototype white plane good for imps dive bomb passive?

[forest palm]

you typically want to avoid using a DB in Slot 2

also White Plane doesn't really narrow it down much

[inner idol]

It's a pr 6 or 7 plane I think

[forest palm]

Oh...Su-2 is not worth running

[inner idol]

Gotcha

What would be imps best mobbing set up?

[forest palm]

if for just leveling... something simple like Hellcat + Helldiver + Barracuda would work, can make it fancier with a Flapjack + Helldiver + Wyvern

[inner idol]

Nice

[eager marsh]

what is this? i've never seen this in mine

[forest palm]

you bought one of those special blue loggers from the Voucher Shop

it's a chain of quests that give good rewards

[sinful escarp]

after you finish the chain of missions you get a UR gearlab print

sad thing is that its a one time purchase only for each of the blue loggers

[stuck owl]

Is Tennesse any good?

[stark quiver]

+1 bb rld at 120
thats about it

[forest palm]

NV, OK, and PA are the only good blue or lower BBs the rest is just there

[viscid swift]

Well there's also Cavour

[eager mulch]

Friesland

[forest palm]

Conte is just awful

[viscid swift]

Yes but she's hit tech

[stark quiver]

Isn’t Conte rld

[viscid swift]

oh yeah she is, but point still remains

[forest palm]

then you'd include TN, and CA, I'm talking about good and usable

[sinful escarp]

i like how at some point we went talking about ships worth using in terms of useability and now in terms of 120 tech

[zenith heron]

Late Game moments, so Tech is now considered a staple at this point...

[forest palm]

Fleet Tech applies anywhere, and everywhere so it doesn't hurt to get

[weary gust]

Does your defense fleet in pvp get your fleet tech bonuses?

[forest palm]

I treat pvp like it doesn't exist

it does have hidden modifiers based on hull type though

[terse roost]

Are there levels caps for maps e.g meeding to be a certain level to unlock thr stage?

[forest palm]

yes you need to be a certain Commander Lv to access world 8 and onward you can look here for the specifics
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Experience#Feature_unlocks

[bleak heart]

is my Z23/Nimi aight ?

[forest palm]

give her another toolkit, and a DD gun

[bleak heart]

imo its aight gun

Dont have a gold DD gun yet

[forest palm]

even so a DD gun would be better than a CL gun

[bleak heart]

Z46 Has AP

Its my main lineup

Also is Tirpitz aight ?

[worldly pewter]

1.5/10

[vale spindle]

change main gun to twin 410 purple

or triple 406mk6 purple

twin 380 is the historical gun but its awful so use the good guns instead

[vale spindle]

in azur lane sometimes purple equipment is better than gold equipment

[bleak heart]

Depends of what RNGsus gives me

[vale spindle]

BB guns are one of the most common cases of purple equipments being better than gold ones

these 2 are what you are looking for

[vale spindle]

use one of these on every one of your BBs and you should be fine
the left is for more pog barrage and the right is if the barrage is not pog

[bleak heart]

406 or 410 ?

[worldly pewter]

fell in the rarity trap

i think all the tech box gold bb guns are way too inferior to the purple ones

[vale spindle]

^^

[bleak heart]

I just wanted one BB be full AP and one full HE

[vale spindle]

the funny thing is if you use a shitty AP gun its worse than the HE guns due to burn damage combined with the gun damage

the burn damage doesn't show on the endscreen but it does stack up overtime

[bleak heart]

welp

[vale spindle]

those auxiliaries need some work but i think you know that and are slowly improving

AA gun doesn't matter until you get to chapter 12 so you can focus that last

[bleak heart]

For now i dont really have a problem with clearing anything up to lvl 110

Same with exercises

[vale spindle]

exercise is just rng based on how dumb your opponents are (there are a lot of dumb azur lane players)

[worldly pewter]

it still amazes me how early progression accounts still going for the hard way of progressing though a faction fleet

[bleak heart]

Im going that way and im not willing to change it XD

[vale spindle]

as long as you are clearing its all good for now then, but if you want to clear further then you need to improve your gear slowly

whether through research or gear lab or better tech box rng or core data shop

[worldly pewter]

yeah at least build unicorn for a second fleet

[bleak heart]

here is my backup fleet albeit i will change the Uni to Implac after i get Graf Zeppelin (if ever)

[vale spindle]

unicorn is a healer and healer is good for multiple fights

also unicorn retrofit has a preloaded airstrike which helps with clear times

[worldly pewter]

u won't go further without unicorn
ur best bet is over leveling to 125 in order to beat w12

or over gear it

[bleak heart]

Btw is Zeppy decent ?

These are the stats i get on Hard in the current event

[forest palm]

end screen is not a good indication of results

[worldly pewter]

is it a good benchmarking stage ?

[stark quiver]

uh no?

[sharp socket]

benchmark for easy content

[hollow gust]

That's some really sad backline damage

[bleak heart]

The stage is not long enough to push backline damage

[hollow gust]

[bleak heart]

And generally vanguard is the most buffed up part

[hollow gust]

Those buffs mean nothing if the actual ship is dog water

[stark quiver]

is there a tldr for raff skills

[bleak heart]

I have whole one UR ship rn so

gotta work with what i have

[stark quiver]

a lot of ships are better than tirp and bis

[bleak heart]

I will replace Tirpitz with UVH because i have around 60 cubes till pity

[forest palm]

ya'll could do a clearer job of explaining

well concise

[hollow gust]

Backline ships + 1st slot vanguard attacks proc black stacks

1. Gives slight debuff when full black stat
2. Killing things with black stacks give equal amount of white stack , killer gets the stacks
3. White stack gives slight shield

[worldly pewter]

if u are going to build an iron blood fleet it is better to wait for ur events
if u missed fritz event then i advise u to do another faction fleet

[forest palm]

basically a ship that levels for the mob fleet

[bleak heart]

Well i can do me Briish fleet

[worldly pewter]

can u ?

yeah these ones are good although missing a tank

[hollow gust]

The fact that the a British fleet would actually do a lot better

Either way faction fleeting is a terrible idea

[worldly pewter]

yeah it is a meme and memes are for end game players who have a lot of flexibility because of the collection rate

not having enough ships to build a fleet is kinda bad amirite

[little tree]

[marsh sparrow]

any recommended torp for ancho?

[forest palm]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/550mm_Twin_Torpedo_Mount#tabber-tabpanel-Type_3-0

[forest palm]

[eager mulch]

[zenith pebble]

if i dont have the type 100 kai just yet, whats another good alternative fora dd gun?

[forest palm]

Twin 130 (either)

[zenith pebble]

tash gun then type 100 kai?

[forest palm]

sure

[zenith pebble]

where can i get more tash gun?

[forest palm]

Core, again there's 2 Twin 130s, so if you've been researching PR5 you may have one sitting

[zenith pebble]

just checked inventory, im at 21/25

[forest palm]

Core Data it is

[zenith pebble]

👍

[worldly pewter]

it is from the event milestones

[forest palm]

pretty sure they're talking about the CN 130

[zenith pebble]

been grinding t3 for a while now

[atomic abyss]

I wouldn't even buy tash gun from core data

[atomic abyss]

If you want an affordable but good DD gun, gold twin 128 from gear lab

[zenith pebble]

i see, so its either 128 or 130. 100 kai when im rich?

[keen sable]

Twin 135...

[atomic abyss]

Twin 128 realistically
Otherwise the Chinese Twin 130 from PR5
Because you shouldn't need to buy the other twin 130 from coredata
Any other similar alternatives like the 135 are event limited

[worldly pewter]

100 kai is way down the list imo if u have mogador gun

[atomic abyss]

It's down the list for rainbow gear

It's still noticeably better than any gold gear

[zenith pebble]

then what about the twin 135?

ive got 1 mog gun but thats about it with 3 russian twin 130s

[atomic abyss]

128 is just the cheapest to craft while being good

Because you're bound to get purple twin 128s from IB boxes

[keen sable]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment#dd_guns
135 guesses on what's better than 130's

[zenith pebble]

so to put it simply, ply gun best then nep gun

[keen sable]

where do you get that from?

[zenith pebble]

nvm thats suicide boats

[atomic abyss]

Also those are CL guns

[forest palm]

that Triple 152 is also incredibly expensive

gonna laugh when that ends up being the component for Quad 152

[zenith pebble]

oh the 128 good for vanguard

[keen sable]

sam doesn't seem to differentiate between best best and best but no nep is not second

[meager tiger]

is raffaello not yet listed on the fleetmaker?

[forest palm]

Ren has Raph, don't know about Lars

[atomic abyss]

She is there

[honest sequoia]

Would 128 be good on NJ

Cuz I have no good DD gun but that poverty DD gun from campaign

[keen sable]

2nd best

3rd? who counts mog

[honest sequoia]

What’s the best

[atomic abyss]

Only the twin 137 would be better as a secondary DD gun
But that's fairly expensive to craft

[honest sequoia]

Which is twin 137 I can’t find it from gear lab

[hollow gust]

eagle union DD gun

[atomic abyss]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Twin_137mm_(5.4"/48_Mk_1_Prototype)

[thin haven]

Is this hard to get?

[hollow gust]

nah 2 runs is enough

[stark quiver]

i did one run with bb/dd on my fleets then one run with cv/cl in my fleets

[golden moth]

Is it this week that the new faction is coming?

[ivory pawn]

Maybe. We find out during stream soon-ish.

[golden moth]

Ok ok

[plain saffron]

When is stream

[soft raft]

<t:1745232300:f>

[ivory pawn]

Discord event thing says 15 minutes before the above, but close enough.

[cobalt gate]

going to just get news after waking up

[normal cedar]

any reason for scylla to lose hp faster when in safe position? she's the same level as off tank yet loses hp faster in campaign world 10

[clear harbor]

Are there any good BCs that I can pick up from the Guild shop? Or might be easily farmable in W9 or lower? I need one for Hard mode farming. I have Repulse, but she doesn't seem super great?

[normal cedar]

not guild shpo, but medal shop has hood if you have bb this month on your server

[clear harbor]

I got CL and SS

[wind hazel]

sometimes it's just rng

[hollow gust]

lol the amount of people who claimed middle wasnt the safest spot cause of "testing " against torps

[wind hazel]

[sharp socket]

offtank is safest because its the last to die

[zenith heron]

[vital quest]

what's best aux for kear? should i go with BB shell aux or CV catapult aux? or do I mix both?

?

@faint cloud why did you react with that? does that mean something?

[ivory pawn]

You listed option 1 or 2. Which option is on the left?

[faint cloud]

kear wants bb aux like hpfcr/afct

[ivory pawn]

Well, I guess there's a third, but it's still the one on the left. Treat her as a BB for auxes.

[normal cedar]

i'm only at 3.9 k cores this month, am I cooked? what's the best place to get cores faster?

[wind hazel]

campaign lol

[faint cloud]

just higher maps

[vital quest]

oh i see mb

[ivory pawn]

We've also got two more weeks of weekly rewards.

[normal cedar]

ok, ill spam campaign

[ivory pawn]

Wasn't it like 250/week just from missions? Just spend your oil and remember to keep research chugging along, you'll be fine.

[vital quest]

do 3x hard mode events still occur?

[plain saffron]

Sometimes

[viscid swift]

Just grind and you'll be fine

[ivory pawn]

500, even better! Yeah he's fine, just spend oil and keep research chugging.

[honest sequoia]

Higher hard mode campaign = higher core data

[viscid swift]

Specialized cores not core data

[ivory pawn]

There's a few too many things called cores isn't there?

[stark quiver]

yea

[viscid swift]

There's only 3

[honest sequoia]

Oh bruh I read it wrong 😔

[wind hazel]

well you're not wrong either. higher it is, more specialized core too

tiny margin tho

[worldly pewter]

if u mean specialized cores then if u don't overcap on oil most of the time and don't skip the weeklies u should be fine

[normal cedar]

yes, specialized, got it

should I craft t0 high performance radar? and put it on helena?

[stark quiver]

nah

[normal cedar]

ye cuz the guide says this so I'm confused

[vale spindle]

thats for ARs
helena is not an AR

[ivory pawn]

Just ignore that entire section, cause you shouldn't be using ARs.

[stark quiver]

more aa it means
which technically its the best at what it does lmao

[normal cedar]

I see, also what does accelerator mean in AA guns?

[honest sequoia]

AA radars is only for Repair ships like Akashi/Vestal but don’t invest in them

AA radar will maybe become relevant for you when you reach w15

[ivory pawn]

AA guns average their reload time, so faster AA guns will accelerate your better AA guns.

[viscid swift]

Spicy tech only for niche late game player things

[honest sequoia]

And also you should never use AA radar to boost ur AA dmg
Get better AA not AA radar

[honest sequoia]

W

[stark quiver]

do you like not gaf abt her skills

[normal cedar]

oh I see, I think Ill hold off on AA stuff till world 13

[honest sequoia]

I don’t think the blue one is upgradable

[honest sequoia]

12/13/15

[viscid swift]

just haven't had the spare slots yet

[stark quiver]

understandable

[normal cedar]

wait, so it'll work even if my vanguard has a normal aa gun and main has accelerator right?

[wind hazel]

just use good AA guns

[polar lion]

Why does Kear wants table/white shell?

[wind hazel]

dont think too much. backline use staag, vanguard use roomba, that's all

[normal cedar]

oh ok sure, I had one copy of hazemeyer and one quad bofors so I asked

[wind hazel]

haze backline, bofor vanguard

[normal cedar]

thanks!

[wind hazel]

any gold>purple

[stark quiver]

read her skill for the table part
her gun does more dmg than plane mostly

[honest sequoia]

You can use smth like 2 roomba and 1 quad bofor in your vanguard

[normal cedar]

thats what im doing now

[honest sequoia]

Yea just use that AA gun combo until you get better AA guns

[polar lion]

Isn't her skill buffs the other based on which launch first?

[honest sequoia]

Like sextuple and twin 90mm

[stark quiver]

her gun needs to fire first

[hollow gust]

Although she doesn't need table to fire first

[stark quiver]

i mean if your cvs are slow ig its alright
her guns just do more damage than her planes on average so

[polar lion]

Even without any auxes, her slots dps look liek this for example

[stark quiver]

why the la9 tho

[viscid swift]

What is that even aganst

[polar lion]

Just a comparison to see how La9 light dmg fares vs MK7 on Kear

[normal cedar]

10-1 or 11-2 which will be better for farming, oil/exp efficiency wise? I want california and tennessee for tech pts

[wind hazel]

11-2

[polar lion]

12-1. U get chips also

[normal cedar]

ok will do it in 11-2 when I get there then
cali and tennessee don't drop at 12-1

[wind hazel]

he's level locked too...

[plush dust]

I'm stuck at 54 . Do I just keep drilling 7-4 ?

[wind hazel]

what's your ship average lv

[plush dust]

80 ~ 90 ish

[wind hazel]

go to war archives, look into universe in unison/passionate polaris SP5

[plush dust]

The one with the ų kicks?

[wind hazel]

ye

either that or divergent chessboard D4, if you can clear the stat requirements

SP5 has no stats so it's easier, and cheaper too in term of oil

[plush dust]

Deploying lv 99 enty. Gonna deliver some freedom

[wind hazel]

relaaaaaaxxx

[plush dust]

I am chilln't

Should level some of my fleet at the foxmines. Later on. Houshou should be nice help to level up my foxes

[plucky ice]

is worth building Eldridge retrofit? if so what fleet she fits in

[atomic abyss]

Well, putting aside the fact that you're grinding for them
It really isn't a place for levelling stuff

[atomic abyss]

Assuming you have her retrofit item
If so, yes
She's an excellent tank+tank support, goes in a lot of fleets really

[plush dust]

They're fresh new tbh

[storm heron]

is farming just for 15k in the event good enough?

[plucky ice]

Thanks now I have reason to put her in my fleet

[plush dust]

I also made the mistake of investing on Miller. Girl is allergic to damage.

[atomic abyss]

Fresh new players shouldn't be farming foxes at all - they're huge newbie traps

[stark quiver]

lwk yea
unless you want some gold cranes and 2 rainbow books

[atomic abyss]

Fox farming is more of "for collection and fleet tech purposes"

[plush dust]

But fox waif

[plucky ice]

what is fox

[atomic abyss]

Hence what I said by collection

There are actually strong foxes like Shinano and UR Amagi

Akagi and Kaga are pretty bad though

If you want them you can always come back later

You shouldn't be gating your progress in other words

[plush dust]

UR Amagi at lv 60

lol

[plucky ice]

So I need to be clarified
so i have to check a ships stats to see what they specialize in?

ex: if their torpedo stat is at 200 they're a torpedo shp?

[stark quiver]

usually high trp stat, skills oriented around torp damage, trp slot efficiency

[viscid swift]

Well you have to look at their skills and equipment slots as well

And 200 torp stat is a very low bar

Most IJN DDs are 450+ torp stat easy with 150%+ torp efficiency

[sharp socket]

tash gun print drops from sp3 right

[wind hazel]

TC3 yes

[sinful escarp]

is there something ingame that will show us the max amount of tech we can get for each stat?

[whole crypt]

in-game no, wiki and trackers have it though

an in-game max isn't that useful anyway unless you just want to know if you've reached max

[spiral fjord]

what are some good SR/E ships I can level skills on or should I just save my skill books

[faint cloud]

the only time i need the tech table is to adjust rld

[whole crypt]

ships that you're using or will use, for a start

if you're done prioritizing meta then it's kind of just whatever

[whole crypt]

even then it really only matters for checking if you've got enough tech for a specific comp

[white oriole]

Am I stupid because why is this locked if I am currently developing this ship

[wind hazel]

because you're 54% done

once at 100% and you hit the submit it will be unlocked

[white oriole]

What I meant is I am not getting any xp from sorties when I have triple iron blood vanguard

[wind hazel]

where are you grinding them?

[white oriole]

Main campaign

[meager tiger]

this is only really useful on ships like sandy and (maybe) guam if youre taking them to w15 and need the extra AA

i just threw my extra copies on my AR ships (cuz theyre technically bis on them and i might take out my ARs for meme at some point) and the rest get scrapped immediately

[wind hazel]

chapter?

[white oriole]

11

[wind hazel]

you should see it move after 3-4 sortie

[white oriole]

I guess I just broke the game

[sharp socket]

just farm more

[meager tiger]

also, does anyone know if the fleetmaker tool is bugged? i cant find several ships on it, like z52/raffaello for example

[sharp socket]

are you on the right one

[meager tiger]

https://x94fujo6rpg.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

im using this one^^^^

[wind hazel]

lul outdated site

[meager tiger]

is there a new one?

[wind hazel]

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

[meager tiger]

much appreciated, thanks

[wind hazel]

if you are able to, go to 12-1 or 12-4

it should gain roughly 1% per sortie

[white oriole]

Idk I've done like 9 on 11-1 and it's still at 54%

[wind hazel]

try restarting your game, sometimes it desync

[whole crypt]

did you use wrong fleet/ships

also make sure you're not ignoring low morale since that's half xp

[white oriole]

I'm a bit of a goofy goober when it comes to morale and never want to use anything that's below 120 so that won't be a problem

[wind hazel]

just go to 12-1, there's really no reason to stay at 11-1

[white oriole]

Yeah well my team dies on 12-1 so that's the reason I'm at 11

[wind hazel]

what are you using

12-1 is easier than 11-1, just so you know

[white oriole]

Ok maybe I lied I haven't actually checked in a month

[wind hazel]

[plain saffron]

Are 12-1 at safe threat lvl

[white oriole]

Maybe I'm just gaslighting myself but that's fine

[normal cedar]

no azur lane event has pre register rewards or anything right like some other gachas

[wind hazel]

none that i know since i started playing

maybe old boomers would know something

[stark quiver]

Azuzu dont do that
The closest thing is prob the newcomer tasks they give sometimes I forgot the name

[meager tiger]

does anyone know off the top of their head which vanguard ships have CV buffs other than sirius?

[faint cloud]

definitely not kazagumo

[stark quiver]

Benson
Ariake retro

Curlew

Oh yea and kaza
Scylla I guess

[wind hazel]

ting an

normally it's just ARA+Sirius

[meager tiger]

just wondering cuz im trying to cobble together a triple ijn cv bossing fleet

also, are SG radars worth running on vanguard ships like guam over fp boosting gear?

[stark quiver]

Nah

[wind hazel]

neither

[stark quiver]

Guam with fp boost isn’t that bad if you don’t die
But then you’d just run z52 or smth

[wind hazel]

i use double eva on CBs like Guam. if surviving isnt an issue then Guam is gone

[warped acorn]

hmm speedrun oil regain

[stark quiver]

Tank or no tank
Kazagumo
Sirius/unzen

[warped acorn]

how long it take u to be able to refresh exercise again if u used them up

[hushed delta]

all day

[plain saffron]

5 perday, reset on daily reset

[polar lion]

U get 5 attempts added 3 times a day. 5 attempts at reset. And another 5 attempts at another 2 timing. But I dunno how to tell u according to 'your' time

[honest stirrup]

what...? We just got 3 different answers

[wind hazel]

because someone is reading the question wrong 😭

[meager tiger]

kearsarge wants to shoot first before launching planes to get the optimal buffs right?

[crisp raven]

refreshes, not battles.

its 5 per day, and it resets on daily reset. unused ones do not carry over.

[stark quiver]

Her planes are too fast
You’ll be sacking gun damage

[honest stirrup]

I also read wrong

[polar lion]

Ah okay I ENd

[meager tiger]

i have her on the twin 406 mk4 and flapjack fighter, both +10, as well as fire control radar

[wind hazel]

mk4

[honest stirrup]

I feel like it's the first time I even hear about that gun

[meager tiger]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Twin_406mm_(16"/56_Mk_4_Prototype)

[wind hazel]

it's mainly a pvp gun for soyuz

dont use it for bossing 😭

[meager tiger]

which gun should i use then? i can get any craftable and i have all the UR guns

[wind hazel]

usually mk7. there are cases where she runs the PR6 gun that i forgot the name

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_406mm_(Mk_6_Prototype)#Type_0-0

[meager tiger]

not worth running a faster gun to get her buffs then?

[wind hazel]

none that i heard of

[honest stirrup]

Can't she simply use the normal mk6?

[rapid grail]

your Kearsarge needs to fire her gun first before the CVs hit the enemies

to apply the relevant debuff

A Mk6/Mk7 with or without an HSFCR/AFCT will do that just fine (against light armor)

[meager tiger]

used a url shortener, heres my current opsi fleets: https://shorturl.at/N0Efl

anything i should change or improve?

[wind hazel]

yes... a lot

[meager tiger]

[worldly pewter]

what are these fleets for

[meager tiger]

opsi

[wind hazel]

where do i even start.

[meager tiger]

first is mob, following 3 are bossing for monthly harbiter

[meager tiger]

ok wait b4 u start

[worldly pewter]

do u have rumey ?

[meager tiger]

only reason some of the builds r wonky is because im prioritizing w15 and pvp performance for some ships over opsi optimization rn

[meager tiger]

i have all the ships minus some collab ones

and a couple random blue ships dropped from clearing stages in worlds like 8 and 9

[meager tiger]

this is why aquila is running double fighter for example

[wind hazel]

the gearing is a whole mess, implacable with soyuz and nakhimov is pointless, z52 on mob is wasted, eldridge wasted on kearsarge fleet, no ARA for IJN 😭

i suggest to just make two decent fleet, with crossfleet at 4th

[meager tiger]

for barrages?

[worldly pewter]

i think this should be the standard bossing fleet

[meager tiger]

if u dont mind breaking all this down for me and elaborating

ive spent the last hour and a half reading ship skills and gear guides and im suffering from wikipedia page syndrome rn

still trying to figure out whats good with what

[worldly pewter]

the cv aux can be adjusted if u have enough rld tech

usually u can lower the BB tech and leave the cv tech at max and use double cata fine

[wind hazel]

you can use these, or IJN instead of soyuz

very simple setup

[meager tiger]

[worldly pewter]

something like this for the mob fleet ?

[wind hazel]

stole from someone, https://renhex.github.io/alft/216 amagi fleet setup

[meager tiger]

implacable worth running over hakuryuu even when factoring in ijn buffs?

goddamn powercreep is real

[wind hazel]

against heavy you can use triple ijn+eldridge

i prefer having implacable for freeze against light and medium

[meager tiger]

ah makes sense

[wind hazel]

even so, don't use double db on haku

[sharp socket]

can run indep/fritz over aquila, opsi mob only needs one healer

[normal cedar]

is the first 25 percent of a new campaign stage hardest? does it get easier at 25,50,75?

[sharp socket]

it doesn't work like that

its just how many times you need to clear to be able to auto search it

lethal -> safe mechanic kicks in on 100% clear

[normal cedar]

so its same difficulty then? before 100

[sharp socket]

yes

after that clear it 10 times until safe threat level and each time its slightly easier

[normal cedar]

ok,hanks!

[sleek spade]

damn bro that's a lotta HP

[slow fox]

HP!?

[normal cedar]

im having problems in 10-3 due to having only portland as tank, i can clear it but some ships die
should I keep pushing still to 11-1
or stop and rethink

[wind hazel]

start investing in 2nd fleet

[worldly pewter]

hHp

[still pond]

when do i build my second fleed ?

i'm at 10-1 in the story

[eternal basalt]

When the first fleet needs to fight 5 or more battles

[plain saffron]

That too early

[plain saffron]

Depends on who you're using but i guess when you can't progress even with overlevelling

[normal cedar]

i did but phoenix dies

[wind hazel]

phoenix

show your current fleet

[normal cedar]

i cant level up phoenix because she keeps dying even on 9-1 in safe position
i have 50 books though if you want me to use them

what even is the point of a tank if I have to keep them in safe bruh?? 😭

[carmine heath]

How do exercise rank points work? Do you get more the higher rank you are or is it dependent on match time?

[eternal basalt]

#pvp

[wind hazel]

what gear are you using?

shouldnt be dying with unicorn

[oblique canyon]

It's based on the difference between you and your opponents rank points, but ya check #pvp

[jaunty vault]

chat how many more points is solo vs coalition hard

[normal cedar]

im broke on aug plates so I cant level those toolboxes up

i have 3 toolboxes at plus eight, 2 on cleveland and 1 on scylla

[jaunty vault]

also can i 1:1 EX

[wind hazel]

do you have any blue camo or steering

cruisers dont use double toolkit. and why are all your gear unenhanced 😭

[normal cedar]

yes, i have both camo and steering blues
gear ia unenhanced cuz I thought tanks have no need to do damage right

[wind hazel]

TC3 it's 60 more points on coalition. didnt try 1:1 ex, but it seems rough to 1:1

[wind hazel]

more damage=enemies die faster=no need to tank more damage than necessary

using unenhanced gear is just terrible

at least +6, surely you can afford to

not those AA gear i guess. you dont have any purple roomba or bofors?

[normal cedar]

I can temporarily transfer to her from team 1 for now, but I actually dont have enough aa guns for 2 fleets to run both simultaneously at peak condition

[wind hazel]

aa gun is whatever at the map you're farming but try to enhance the guns and the aux

+7 your camo/steering and at least +6 gun and toolkit

on that topic, you don't have anyone better to raise than phoenix?

[normal cedar]

can I do a second portland? does the game allow me to have two portlands in two fleets on same map

i do have better tank options but they all gold like prinz eugen or the other prinz

these are all my ca cl

[wind hazel]

why filter out dd

[strong tartan]

why do you have two leveled nachis

[normal cedar]

oh wait ill send, I didnt know dd could be tank

[wind hazel]

no but you already have cleveland tanking and you dont have any better

[normal cedar]

these are all my dd, z23 retro halfway done

[wind hazel]

do you have good amount of gold bulin with you now

[normal cedar]

ill have 4 gold bulins by end of month now 0, and all helena meta crystals too by end of month, who is already at 100 fortification

[strong tartan]

have the 4 leveled ur bulins been discussed before

[normal cedar]

4 bulins since 2 from weekly, 1 monthly and 1 merit

[wind hazel]

just suffer for now then, maybe can invest into heinrich later on

[oblique canyon]

Can anyone help me with my 15-4 auto fleet?

Ever like, 5-6 runs my mob fleet just explodes to an OOA BB node

[undone plover]

is it the backline or frontline that dies?

[oblique canyon]

Backline, Musashi tanks all the damage from the BBs and dies I Think

[undone plover]

the aa can be improved
2 sextuple is 2 slow
Give brest twin 90 or another UR aa

musashi aux gun change to triple 155 (non kai version) or twin 137 (the DD gun)
also give her a radar instead of double shell
I assume brest is the tank?

[oblique canyon]

Brest is tank ya

[undone plover]

just fyi in renhex tool tank is in 1st slot

[oblique canyon]

Oh oops, ya laffey is OT

[lucid crest]

Is Frostfall the event for Little Formidable?

[undone plover]

also I think u better just run guam, she does more than brest
and shimanto can be changed to another dps, u should have enough AA
Or at least if she is FS5 give her a normal CL gun so she does dmg

[wind hazel]

swap out yk2 for a better support

[oblique canyon]

So move Guam to Mob, replace shimanto with...unzen? she is FS5

[wind hazel]

nah keep shimanto, she's good with musashi

[oblique canyon]

I dont have anyone better until I get more UR Bullins sadly

[wind hazel]

not even an illustrious class?

indomitable, illustrious, hwah jah, chen hai, any of these

[oblique canyon]

That's what I've got levelled, though I can probably sacrifice some books

[wind hazel]

you got illustrious

[oblique canyon]

Better than Y2k at 120?

[wind hazel]

yk2 is terrible for support

[oblique canyon]

Oh lol, alright I'll try all those suggestions out

[oblique canyon]

Did you mean SG or HFSCR?

[undone plover]

HFSCR or the UR table if u have

[oblique canyon]

Got it, thank you guys. It sucks having so many runs go well then I check back and suddenly they're dead

Houston 2 grind is hell

[warped acorn]

i wonder what should i farm if i think i aint beating this yet 🤔

[marsh sparrow]

what is the maxed limit of dorm comfort value

[oblique canyon]

soft cap around 500 iirc

83% or so

[marsh sparrow]

I stucked at 385,even tho I keep buying theme furniture.
it doesn't seem to increase

[oblique canyon]

I think each furniture piece has to be unique

That would be my only guess

[normal cedar]

4-4 maybe?

[warped acorn]

but i won 4-4 due to luck....

[normal cedar]

can you do 4-3 comfortably then? do whichever you can do properly till you can do 4-4 comfortably amd then move to 5-1 once you think you are strong enough

[oblique canyon]

You could do 3-4 if you want the foxes, also gives tool boxes

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Living_Area#Comfort

[warped acorn]

hm i thought to farm certain equipment 🤔

[naive mauve]

where's the best level to farm SB2C Helldiver?

[marsh sparrow]

thx

[warped acorn]

ima see if theres any equipment i desperately need ig

[oblique canyon]

Can't go wrong with tool boxes, though going for the foxes themselves is kind of a waste nowadays unless you really want them

[marsh sparrow]

you will eventually get it from the purple eagle union gearbox

[oblique canyon]

11-4 if you want to farm them since it's the only oil capped one, but otherwise ya boxes

[naive mauve]

does it drop on gold aswell?

[naive mauve]

thank you

[marsh sparrow]

if you mean the gold gearbox yeah

[naive mauve]

got it, thank you

[polar lion]

U can put twin 410 Kai on sushi also to make backline stagger better for better uptime of dmg

[nocturne glade]

does anchorage want double eva auxes? Her base hp seems high

[oblique canyon]

I only had Daisen gun on there to help clear bosses now that I Think about it lol

[strong tartan]

just use eva aux + hp aux like any other cruiser she should be fine

[wind hazel]

double eva good for her

[nocturne glade]

I see, ty!

now I'm confused lol

[polar lion]

Yes double eva on Ancho

[wind hazel]

you can trust me, i only give misinformation on the weekends

[strong tartan]

it's monday mori

[wind hazel]

that's right

Monday Accurate Mori

[strong tartan]

youre left

[normal cedar]

is this true? worse than even warspite? I thought she was cracked af....

[wind hazel]

am i

[eternal basalt]

Mostly good cause skill, 2x skill don't stack

[wind hazel]

absolutely shit

[strong tartan]

what is this tier list

[normal cedar]

ur tier list by community

[oblique canyon]

I aint never seen Drake on a tier list like that

[eternal basalt]

Warspite above BisII

[strong tartan]

idk where you got this from but it's.. ass

[oblique canyon]

I did some random browsing on that site and found this

Is this even the same game

[wind hazel]

hmm yes, Elsa

[eternal basalt]

Being a different game never bothered her anyways

[strong tartan]

is ulfrida a mutated version of ulrich and fdg

[oblique canyon]

AI really hallucinated on that one

[still pond]

is there any good and easy to get bb's and dd's for second fleet ?

[wind hazel]

nelson is usually the choice

[polar lion]

Starter DDs

[nocturne glade]

lmfao

[still pond]

got it in the main fleet atm ^^

[wind hazel]

hmm, then that depends on what you have, sometimes you get lucky and can get BB from medal shop

otherwise it's stuff like Maryland from guild shop, require retro to be good just like Nelson

[still pond]

okay ty ^^

[oblique canyon]

My vote is on Hood from medal shop or duke of york if you see her in the merit shop

[still pond]

dont got them atm 😦 sadge

[oblique canyon]

Well depending on how new you are PR ships are always a good option. I feel cringe recommending her in this day and age but Monarch carried the hell out of me

[olive geyser]

what's a good AA gun for Brest?

[wind hazel]

76

[oblique canyon]

Dont know much about AA but I just got told it's definitely not sextuple, use the UR one

[wind hazel]

57 is fine too if you need to activate her faction requirement
