team building help please? If anyone has an abundance of time.
Guys max retrofitting Z23 is worth it right?
thats fine
need to retrofit one of the starters for a mission either way
raffaelo build plz, ty
Retrofitting a starter is part of rookie missions so yeah
Although, there is no need to retrofit all starters
my current build of rafaello
yes
then that's fine
for augmented, crossbow or sword?
sword is fine
okay then, ty

If leveling faster guns better 
i finally got my 50th plygun print so i have 2 plyguns now (1 from protocore), so now i can just switch to pr7 focus and stay there until pr8?
reasonable thing to do
yes, not much content ask for plyguns for 1 fight. currently it is better to get at least 4 copies of the La-9 to kit out an entire fleet that doesn't use Kearsarge
Quad 152 goes anywhere, and everywhere you need a CL Gun, if you could have excess of them BBs would be using them
i was in 5 focus for plymouth and brest, finished ply dev30 and figured i may as well finish the plygun
if you have 2 I'd go for La-9s first
My Retro Nelson has been dying for several times in W10-3 out of the entire formation, I need help 
the first copy is the most important anyway on Plymouth herself
burn or suicide boats
suicide boats
And that she cant tank so many shots from the enemies BBs
what secondary gun is she using
the shots hurt but you're likely burning out as well
for a start +10 the guns
No plates
grind
Pain
also vanguards can help kill boats so your vanguards are probably under too
lv117 is more than enough, without more info of the rest of the fleet it's probably a gear issue
If the rest of the fleet is level 125 URs, then it's a miniberke issue
My other 5
They dont even get focused on, it's just Retro Nelson getting painfully clapped by everything
yeh spend some time grinding you need to get enhances up
🧯
that too
So I need to remove one of the two current retro Nelson's aux?
Also would it help if I give her an augment
Put an officers sword augment for a start
not really
Ight
more stats is better but I'm just not sure how much a sword adds for this
20 eva when nelson is getting focused

And it's "free*
Would it help if I dump exp books on her
no
I'm thinking it's more of a "not killing fast enough" problem, especially when 0 ammo
the levels are enough, you're not going to get much higher
Sounds like berke
I mean I am producing probably 40-50 books a day with grinding
more like 20
you know the level cap is 125 right and most of those ships souldn't go past 120
If it isn't Suchimisinformation
and if you're producing that many XP packs, why aren't you working on a 2nd fleet
enhancing weapons to 10 probably adds more
I dont have good gears
barely a good tanker for my 2nd fleet
Has musashi been dethroned
For what?
to be blunt, you don't even need full fleets at this rate if you level up another ship or 2 and divide your forces carefully
Musashi was never the queen for oath skin
Is there a new tier list?
conversion rate depends on your lecture hall level, so can't say for sure but probably 40 a day tops for what your current level probably is
no and musashi is still situationally top
Lv 72
then the max you can get per day is 36
just got napoli to dev30! where do i use her?
Same places you'd use Agir
where do i use agir?

They and anchorage are basically the best main tanks
So anywhere you'd need a tank
yeah i know that, but I asked before if i should swap someone out for her and was told it wouldnt be beneficial
or i guess opsi would be ok?
Napoli is flat out a superior agir
I don’t think it matters honestly
can i swap out anchorage
Yea
No because Yorktown 2 wants 2 USS
ah right. what about eldridge
Didn’t see no kear mb
kear will come soonâ„¢
Well due to your current teams, no one besides Agir
And even then Agir is better in this case cos of armour break
Alright, would it help if I +10 the torps my vanguard is using
Little, because neither Sandy nor Z23 have good torp dmg
If nelson specifically is the one getting clapped, fire suppressor goes a long way
Also I would swap Portland's secondary and Sandy's main gun
Doubt it'll make the difference but ya know
Actually, it could also be the choice of nodes you're using that's the issue
Prioritise less triangle nodes if possible, unless you have 1 ammo left
just overlevel
That too
Could use the current event to push the last few levels
I've been swapping guns back and forth for sometimes now 
I was having that thought too
they're already overleveled though
Not enough clearly
like practically, 10-3 only has level 100 enemies
Any more levels and they'll get stuck in 11-3
I decided to switch to manual in boss battle
Always make it out with Nelson on 1/4 HP
And yea that's with augment and +10 secondary
1/4 is greater than 0
The thing is I would need to strip one of Nelson's current two aux
What's wrong with that
Either Pennant of Victory or the shell
The shell shd be removed
It doesn't help your case that 10-3's boss also has enemies sniping your backline
do you know why those BBs nuke Nelson
because they apply powerful burns when their shells hit
and the Fire Extinguisher is recced specifically to counter those burns
because she's the only visible main fleet target
well that as well
So I strip off the shell for the blue fire extinguisher?
+6 or +8
Try to +8 it
Blue gear can only go to +7 max
+6 should be good enough
PoV is useful even when not used on nelson so yeah
Nvm 
HT3 is harder than 10-3?
like it usually is
Hi, I have a question, for the operation siren daily quests, how does one complete "engage in a mock bottle with an allied fleet"?
hit the go button it should take you to the mission sight
It is harder than HT-3
Basically with this whole menu you press view it takes you where you need to go
My Nelson survived the event's SP and HT-3s with around 75% HP most of the times
Sometimes it goes down to 50%
But it never went to as low as 25% or zero
Meanwhile, 10-3 casually let me taste Nelson's defeats
the saying "Know yourself, know your enemy, and in a hundred battles, you will never know defeat." comes to mind
I switch to manual, Nelson finally not dying
Thanks Confucius
it's actually Sun Tzu
sometimes manual can do what auto cant 😔
Ahhh thank you very much~!
Perhaps formation difference
Besides I dont have good gears 
for the last time, your gear is not the issue
bearing in mind W10 was first released when the level cap for the game was still level 100
and the best gear that was available was not far from what you have and the ship choices were worse than what you have

If not a gear issue and not a ship level issue, then what's the issue
well one key difference is that they were using 2 fleets
I was only using one actually 
The second formation was there staring
no I meant the people who cleared W10 when it first came out
I do think you've been choosing the wrong enemies...
I take on everything I see
Wait what
Yes, I just keep doing all-clear
which is stupid given you only have one fleet and are struggling to clear the boss
This might shock you but
Maybe not try not to do that when you're already struggling to clear
You can 3* the node after you've gotten it to safe
and if you do 3 star every run well, that's just wasting oil at that point
Oil for gems though
You only need to all clear enemies once
Not 4 times
And if you're already struggling
2nd star can also be completed in however many runs you like
You're putting the cart before the horse
and you don't need to 3 star before you 100% clear, it can be done after
You say oil for gems
But you're wasting more oil by being unable to complete the map to begin with
I guess I really should start making a second formation
Not the issue
And probably not touching 10-4
The issue here is the way you're choosing to handle this
Wtf is going on
well should really look into 2nd fleet nevertheless
If this evening I get lucky enough in hardmode I can get Helena fully retrofitted
And that's when she will replace Nimi as a boss debuff
which version of the login screen is EN using, apparently JP's using the "censored" one
uncensored one
JP got the haram cert nowadays? 🥹
This one
retrofitting Helena doesn't make her a better debuffer
Wouldnt her overall stats be better though
Besides I only lack 1 t3 retro
Marginally
not by a margin that will matter for your current problems
go ahead if you can, just saying it's not going to be the solution to your current problems
Z23 isn't a boss debuffer
Suchi I think you need to sleep
suchi is right tho
mildly confused where z23 fits into the discussion 
scroll up a bit
he is replacing nimi with helena who is a debuffer, I think the statements just got mashed up
This
either way we kind of found the problem anyway
lethal 3-starring one fleet isn't really a thing unless the fleet is super pumped
So this is my plan for the 2 formations in the future
The empty slot on 1st formation is for retro Saratoga, and for the 2nd formation it will be Scylla
Boss and mob
Ask @viscid swift
#1365706033275863091 apparently
I dont have any other available tankers at the moment, unless you want me to use Eugen or maybe wait until I can dev 30 and augment Saint Louis
when you dont anything better, she's a cost effective tank to use
Kinda feel bad to make a child tank everything though 
dont worry she wont feel anything, she isn't real
do you have enough bulin
franklin is better
Frankly I'd level both to replace Perseus but I don't think that's the best idea right now
I have just enough gold bulins for both Franklin and Kazan mlb as of now
then what about scylla....
Anyways we're diverging from the main issue
oh.
I forgot about her, I would need 30k more merits in that case
Your issue with 10-3 is trying to 3* it at lethal
that's why i asked if you have enough bulin or not lul
I already cleared it though-
So your solution is not to 3* it at lethal
alr noted
How far are you into Louis, if at all
Just researched
so a month or so then to get her dev 30
which is uhh long past when you should be in W12
I think I should just not advancing further in campaign for now and raise a second fleet
you should, but it won't take you a month to get that 2nd fleet leveled and pushed to 12-1
For Implacable, I should be able to mlb her next week
So would there be any alternative change
Great 
hey this is probably a stupid question but is there any way to use the censored versions of skins on the english server i saw prinz heinrichs default censored version and i think it looks a lot nicer
no
:c
play cn if you prefer covered 

Also, once I'm done with mlb Implacable, which UR should I mlb next?
I still have UVH 1 star away from mlb, while Shinano is zero lb
Or do I save Bulins for upcoming URs?
I don't think people are willing to give proof of identity that easily
Save
you need to give your ID card to bilibili, prove ur an adult
I guess UVH will really get benched for a decade
She just isn't that good for a UR
Alright uhm, what about the 400 builds UR reward, do I get Shinano or UVH
shinano
Shinano for sure
anyone got the maths on which is better on a DD like eldridge? assume +11 on bouquet
I heard my name
The answer is manjuu
The answer is never


Depicted: additional eHP as a function of battle time (in seconds).
The 5% DmgRed does NOT outdo the extra 140 HP from the 550gear.
so new gear for eldrige in PvP?
This is because 5% DmgRed on 2k HP is 105 HP.
Oh man I didn't even calculat the barrier
smh, someone shut him down
Here's your stupid barrier
@slow fox btw
For the ehp chart
What did you assume for the W14/15 eHP
Didnt know we have a dedicated math guy for stuffs like these 
dedicated math bot*
W15:
AVI 0.8/0.9/1
TRP 0.8/1/1.2
FP 1/0.8/0.7
W14:
0.85/0.9/0.85
The only bots that smart to do things on a fly would be properly trained AI
Hi! If you have any questions regarding eHP for the JRPG sidescrolling action game Azur Lane, you can always ping me with requests!
technically not, but hes a honorific one
Btw does this current event good to have or should I save my cubes
It is good, but not UR so save cubes
I might need this guy later in the end-game progress 
No, that's Suchi. I only do eHP.
how many cubes
I have currently low aka 12 XD
just save then
yea lets not pull 
If you have better considerations, please send them my way.
These bullet densities are literally guesses.
I used all my cubes because of that nun UR ship
Save, next UR shd be late May
That impacable nun I think
Nah it's fine
I was just having a jolly good laugh about Bayard's eHP
-# eHP is not a laughing matter I spent 5 years studying eHP
Well you have me to thank 
I had a friend do experimental testing for W14, but they ended up with something like 0.48/0.32/0.3
In words, that meant heavy armor is super effective for W14, which doesn't seem true.
As with a lot of things, I just never followed up
Depends on the map
14-1 and 14-2 yes
14-3 and 14-4 no
Something something submarine
They tested 14-4 boss
Yeah you've been talking about eHP since 2018 wao
mutsukishrug
I think I was one of the first people to come up with the wild discovery that rudder was actually better on some DDs

mebot can you relink the calc ehp guide pls
RUDDER DD MENTIONED
The CALC guide!?!?
i vaguely remember one existed yes
wonderful, love you 
Maybe I should start putting out Youtub video, where I just do eHP calcs.
Lol
oh yeah mebot just curious, do you assume level 1 or 10 skills for Portland?
not that it really makes a difference
10
~~ add z52 as tank with most Ehp ~~ 
Bigger scam than Cleveland assault order proc fishing
and did you ever find the STD for that compared to HP auxes
I only did one calc. It was something like 12% higher
that calc guide has textbook formatting 
maybe write a book next, and release it in summer
yeah that's what I figured
Also, just a stupid question, does the effect of rental skin stacks on each others
Like, per ticket is 2 days, does that make 6 days if I use 3 tickets on a single skin
please do
yes
That's the plan
Here's the difference by the way, between max and 1
Which tab was the actual raw eHP value on
There is none
I'm assuming you have them right
so 0.055%
Out of curiosity
can u make a 9999 hit tab
The calc does calculate them, but it internally normalizes it to Portland's eHP. I'll recalc using raw values.
The calc also does it all at once
Assuming yat skill is active ofc
I'm a bit curious how much it differs from what we did back then
Considering we didn't account for gear passives back then (i.e rudder and toolbox passives)
eHP back then was just equipment matrices, right?
That's fine. The average 125 is 118% the eHP of 120. Do you want me to reverse that consideration?
Nah it's fine
I can just redo them if I find the file
Lol
I have it archived somewhere
Portland: 14992.1191
Yat Sen: 24566.5087
That's Yat Kai I assume
yes
Yeah I was hoping for Ning or Ping since they actually had their retros back then
Nvm I'll compare with port
It's fairly different from what I remembered
ender, quick question do you still grind al?
Ning Hai: 26000
Ping Hai: 24731
2.5% DmgRed?
Have been inactive for a while
Took a break since yk2
Higher or Lower?
Port, this calculator actually did account for gear passive
What were the enemy HIT/LCK/LVL stats?
Doesn't account for luck stat
what do people spend their protocore on after the major purchases? i have 3 champys, bought the tenrai/plygun/457 prints
mutsuki
I think this assumed taihou boss
rest of the UR gear prints
enbayft mentioned
The older version of the calc that we used to discover the rudder on DD thingy
so hinden gun?
eHP 1 was based on enbayft calc, then I discarded it in order to begin comparing ships to each other (where we actually cared)
I mean the current stance is better
But this is a good way to show how much gear actually matters
50% increase in eHP is insane
There wasn't 550 back then
There wasn't yeah
is there anything besides soyuz that can easily time CM? I'm having hard time being consistent for some reason
https://github.com/MajorProcrastinator/Auto-eHP-Calc
If you're curious
Man that name brings back memories
Yeah I used these as a reference when I was starting into eHP
What do you mean by "time"

Easily time as opposed to hard time
Comprehensive strategies and example fleets for how to beat Yukikaze, the April Incarnation of Aries extreme challenge mode boss.
Good luck then, no clue what you're asking for
So, what do I grind next, I "finished" the Tulipa event, not certain whether I should advance into 10-4 or not
Wdym finished
Medal
Then you didn't finish
no
And idk why you were wasting oil on 10-3 for near zero rewards
yeah I just manualed it again and the splash rng actually worked out... what a pita
Uhh does bataan good or trash
I mean, the rest of the milestone rewards arent much
Trash
Meh in this era
Independence retro exists
Meh I'll just keep her for collection I guess
+1 cv rld is her best factor
Besides my formation constantly becomes exhausted upon 5 auto sorties
I needed to get that bocchi girl
There's a lot more to get from the shop and milestone rewards
they are
Keep grinding until you reach 55k
i'd at least try to hit 30k
Question when is the Ur pool thing
What
Ight
My English is not English
UR banner?
probably asking when musashi gonna show up in UR perma pool
Like I mean what is the next ur
nobody knows
We dont know
next UR comes out end of may, don't know who
We don't know and next month most likely
We don't know
New URs are typically good though
I'll just collect many cubes then

yes stash at least 400 cubes
So I spam grind this?
ain't gonna spend them on this event
Just do 1 light banner per day
Near 200 cubes rn
@viscid swift
grind moderately
Yes
yes, until youre at 55k
And level up your ships for fleet 2 there as well
Dorm and books are going to make this quick 
it means in the 3D dorm
what's a good item to buy from the tulip event shop?
Also chat, where to get the most Crescent
what cresent
check the shop priority in the datamines
Common dd
she probbaly drops from normal farming/event stages if they have her
why do you need her
collection gem hunter
farm normally, she'll appear soon
I blame PinHeaded for the Happy Dish manga, my adore for the C-class was never this much
i will show you my mutsuki collection and turn you into a degen
mutsuki
I think I am already a degen the moment I start to desperately grind for certain common ships
Sometimes rarity and performance doesnt matter 
performance doesn't matter for 90+% of the game
There any UR's in the exchange worth maxing out a 2nd copy?
No
There aren't really any ships worth raising dupes of
your waifu
yah figured id ask before i use my points and retire one because im tired of the notification
if they're all done then just pick one up for wardrobe, if you don't want to spend the space then retire
@atomic abyss @viscid swift is this good enough as final selection of 2 formations?
Until I can get someone better than Lil Anchorage
Never use uni and perc together
Unicorn alone is enough
We only said nothing about percy
Because you had nothing better raised
Ideally you would use Sara there and Franklin on boss
Wait
Didn't you have enty?
You did
So you wouldn't even use Franklin in boss
At that point
Implacable and enty together in boss
Sara OR Franklin in mob to replace Perseus eventually
go with sara
@tawdry halo
just use your Enterprise instead of Franklin
So retro Saga >>> Franklin?
Hmm
This
No you probably wouldn't
I only lack 2 golden bulins to mlb Scylla, Franklin and Kazan
basically I already have 10
stop changing your mind so much
stick to one plan, raise the other ships later when the first batch is maxed out
Saratoga has a retrofit and augmentthat makes her a very strong carrier
She's by no means weaker
What for Scylla
None of those
Blue 76mm

Why? Cos very high rof
This?-
Yes
Cursed
No plane for Saratoga
So what do I even slap on Scylla
You have plenty of blue evasion gear
Are you sure the 76mm gun is a good choice
Yes
Because her all out assault is very very broken
You want her to fire it as much as possible
And the 76mm is the fastest DD gun in the game
shocking but true
Now this is a problem
I dont have Helldiver 
And no materials to craft one
just use the fairey or ju87c
Open more boxes
Just use the gold faireysince it's raised
And one ju87
Where to get Helldiver blueprints
idk, but just open techbox
Gamble 
gear lab, 3-2 farm, 11-4 farm,(but dont do it)
Open tech box
Hi lads, need help for prep for w14

Chapter 14 Guide - https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief/
Chapter 15 Guide - https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15
@atomic abyss @viscid swift Helena secondary, do I keep the 127mm in use or switch to the golden thing
I'm pretty sure I said to give the gold twin 100 to sandy
alr
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief/
Have you read this?
First part of the Chapter 14 guide, with example fleets for auto and explainations of ship roles.
What plane for Implacable
Corsair
reading it rn 
Tenzan x2
So second slot and third slot
Implacable only have 1 torp plane slot
The other one is dive bomber so I used Ju-87
Is your still not max limit broken?
yea
Well you won't be using her for a while anyways
wait hang on Implacable has 4 plane slot?
No
I can mlb her next week actually
Her 2nd slot is able to take any kind of plane at max limit break
not all flex slots are the same tho
amagi cv has a fighter/db one
while implac has a tb/db one
Finally having 2 formations like a normal person
Wait isnt Amagi a BB
Impla 2nd slot is all 3
wrong emote
Amagi is a BC
But there's a UR Amagi CV
amagi has a cv variant thats a UR
How much did I miss since my break from AL years ago
A lot
a lot of meta shifts
Quitted 2022, felt like a caveman when came back

In what scenario would Implacable require 2 fighter slots
W15
Light/med armour bosses in opsi/meta
light/medium armor situations
if shes even used
There are fighters that specialise in dealing damage to light and medium armour (which is the opposite of all other planes)
You're not at that point yet
Next week she's entering service 
damn this guy gonna get the 4 run a day treatment
I forgot what day is my acc rn (since creation) 
Probably less than 60 days or around that
I see
Does anyone know if the pirate ship from the Belfast dancing meme is available? I really want it but Idk what the piece is called
Also what kind of setup should I have for w14?
most all Tempesta ships are limited outside of Royal Fortune 
/campaign
Chapter 14 Guide - https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief/
Chapter 15 Guide - https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15
If it's not royal fortune
All of them are currently limited
Also I have no idea which Belfast meme is this
Is the yellow one better than the purple one
if u want a fast HE gun but not purple you can use this
Does that apply to all bbs?
depends
all bbs without gear requirements like faction restrictions
like kearsage
But shouldn't it be better because it has less uptime, spread and more fp
not all the time
mk6 has a better multiplier than hood gun
156 x 3
133 x 2
difference is big
and also the FP dont matter
these are the only HE guns youll ever need only
MK7 missing
musashi in shambles
if u dont got the twin 406mm then poverty version
The yellow fast he gun better than the purple den?
No
no
it's not "better" they do different things
i do
Because for a relatively newer player to get it, they would need to craft it in gear lab
Or do series 2 research
its just not worth the hassle for the small improvement
using the yellow twin 406 over the purple twin 410 is not going to save a dead run or anyt like that
beehive gun
mines +13
In no scenario is the right gun better
Quite bad in damage, not actually faster enough compared to the best mobbing guns to be worth using
cuz beehive ammo is horrible
If you want a faster gun for mobbing? Rainbow twin 457mm
Faster gun for mobbing that's easily available?
Purple twin 410mm
Faster gun for mobbing that's from gear lab and doesn't cost a bomb?
Twin 410mm Kai
I need something heavy hitting with he shell for ulrich
mk6
just use the mk6 and call it a day 
triple 406 mk6 or mk7 will do
if its uvh no need to think too much
or if u wanna be premium use the yamato gun
She my flagship cuz exp
Oh no
if grinding exp then tbh doesn't rly matter
I'm just repeating 12-1 for exp
If you're grinding exp for her you can stick with the triple 406
mk6 all day
119 and 120 has a huge difference right?
Uh in terms of what
Stats? No
Pvp
lol pvp

Exercise or sum
PvP is a meme
also 125 or bust
How do i tell if i have enough tickets for little anchorage
those who put laffey II in pvp defense are horrible human being
Why
just fight one and youll see
if you go into the events tab you can see your progress
O thx
I haven't fought one but I use her
With eldridge
laffii is a top meta pick for pvp since release since she is near impossible to nuke with torps due to her skill
for more details ask in #pvp
For real, I always see her taking 0 damage
Which has better Supply Shop Voucher Conversion?
Operation Supply Coins or Special Item Tokens?
Context: Just making sure if its not needed to buy the ones from Akashi's Store once you already completed to buy what you need at the Ports Resource Shop...
Basically Asking so that I might not miss or waste good resources
im fairly certain they are 1:1 so theres no point buying them
0 dmg is a different skill, her damage reduction skill caps incoming damage at 10% current HP so she is the most resilient ship in terms of surviving the opening torps and frequently Alsace's preload Mk7 in those comps
what's the purpose of repeat sortie what does It do
it repeats sorties 
Basically it auto plays the entire stage including navigating to enemies and then auto fighting them
Sortie is what a fight is called in ship terms or in azur lane
so when activating that my team will auto fight EVERY SINGLE enemy + the boss?
no, not every single enemy, it will fight the mob enemies until it unlocks boss (generally 5-7 fights) and then go fight the boss
Under 'Roles', you can select which fleet you want to fight the boss if you are running multiple fleets
Otherwise it uses the same fleet to fight everything
it basically fights the mob until the boss spawns then it switches its focus to the boss
In research academy do the rewards only depend on the rarity of the project or does time play a role too?
what im failing to understand is what's the difference between repeat sortie and clearing mode
don't they do the exact same thing
you can repeat sortie under clearing mode up to 3 times automatically
clearing mode automates the battle for you. repeat sorties is the same thing, just in numerous times
uhm, with auto search
should i spend my ap on c3 or c5 since its the last day
i have like 2k AP
I see alright
got time to play=c3
no time to play=c5
got time to play but c3 has no cxp
btw where is c5
tbh is c3 only better than c5 cuz better scamcat shop spawn?
ye, per AP spent
ok so lets say both c3 and c5 spawn scamcat but doenst sell AP boxes
would c5 be better in this kind of scenario
somethingsomething catnodes too? idk
clearing mode by itself removes map gimmicks and allows fleetlock+autosearch
if you need to think about it just do c5 and be done with it

no, because you're spending twice the AP for a single c5
so tbh c3 is just better in terms of rewards, just time consuming
can't directly compare them like this, it's always just the % comparison
it's not better for cxp if you're high enough
yea c3 it is thx
this is also why you start using your AP boxes on the last week, and not using them on last day
usually i spend 400 AP a day
and call it a day
you can go more
cuz im trying to manage my AP box usage but turns out this month i hoard too much
how much AP do u even spend a day
if i do c1 i can do it endlessly
Are there any resource calculations for opsi similar to samheart guide? Or too much rng so not possible to estimate
c1 good for farming scamcat for AP box?
yeah
i had to start using 5k AP because my currency was down too low 
couldnt buy siren loggers
personally I don't think it's worth the time, the difference between c5 and c3 burn is only a rather small margin for the month's plates and mats
more is more, it's good for players who still need the mats and plates
so would it work if i farm c1 for ap boxes when im done with the whole OpSi map including harbiter siren logger boss and treasure logger then on the last day i just spend all my AP boxes on c3 
it takes more than 1 day to burn through all the ap boxes lol
what's a good slow applier ship that is not limited? apart from avp
i have time to spare
yeah dont start on last day lol
like i said, start on last week and gradually use your boxes
that doesnt change how many load screens you have to go through 

ark royal
Ark Royal yeah
Since eld retro is still limited
I just don't think the rewards are worth the trouble per unit time spent, if you want to try go for it
I see, thanks a lot, I'll try to get her then
fellow c5 enjoyer 
personally I do c5 because c3 isn't worth squat for cmdr xp
i personally think cmdr exp is useless
I do need more gold plates but not worth the time 
at least more mats is something tangible and useful
should note that she drops from war archives which isnt really worth doing while an event is running
is little anchorage worth it to do missions if i start her now
good tank if you're new
My bad, I meant to say get her retrofit; I already have her
Thanks
I also have arizona meta, is she a good slow applier? For a bb, since royal is a cv
No
BB teams don't need slowers
Especially if it's at the cost of someone actually strong
having some would be nice
Well yes, but that example is Bismarck 2
yeah and you dont mix ark royal with bb either
I mean if you're not burning yourself out feel free to spend all the time in the world on the game
Yeah, Ill only use her when I running triple cv
Well there is one BB that really wants freeze/slow but yeah....
She's not really relevant today
(it's Georgia)
AR also really only viable on heavy, sucks for light
light med i'd just get AVP ASAP and call it a day
or just use triple BB, it's much simpler
BB is much easier starting out for light
Just use BB for light and medium as a newish player yeah
ig I can do that, colorda maryland wv, wv also has a slow skill tho not much
mk6 is pretty much stock
I mean the 3 American Big7 have kits designed to be run as a BB fleet to begin with
medium is kind of whatever because TB teams are not seriously disadvantaged, assuming you have a working anti-heavy
Admittedly it would be better if one of them was duke of york or better still FdG but
Can't be picky here
FdG more important to get than avp anyways
Mmhmm
Unless there's maff to show 1lb Vanny is actually worth lol
Surely not right
is there any ur ship thats worth at that low lb
I'm not sure how much it takes for VG to catch up on DoY
Arguably Musashi
is this fine against hornet meta?
Well if she's not having issues surviving, sure, it's fine
Like a 1lb or even 0lb Musashi is very strong for a new player
Cos she's more barrage reliant compared to her compatriots
Not that id recommend it
idk how useful air radar is, the planes are really weak theres just a ton of them
Plymouth at low dev is exclusively a buffer
The tank research ships get their max defensive stats at d25
I'd skip radar yeh, doesn't really add anything for showdown
what would be better then?
anything DPS
Fumo 
If only DDs could fumo
What does efficiency % do
something something wtf theres a dd with fumo for rigging
Efficiency is essentially a damage multiplier

Only damage? No cooldown buffs or anything else?
Just damage
Oh ok
What happened to tle left side of my screen? Some debug like code appeared all of a sudden
/logmode
How to activate debug mode :)
just hide it
hello, so second rumey airplane can be anything right? right now im using tenrai. idk if another gold plane or wyvern can do better in w15
please, i know nothing and just copy paste from guide 
keep double fighter
if rumey on support, then who is on boss fleet? implacable?
That would be better use of both ships yes
Rumey will still be able to use her 8 fighters on support fleet
prioritize ur best ships for boss fleet and then for support
Implacable can actually use Wyverns
i'd rather use fritz on boss and impla on support
Why tho
8 fighters strong
8 fighters < 6 fighters 3 TBs for dmg lol
either is fine just dont sacrifice both for enterprise on boss fleet for example
ok i assume fighters is type of plane. but how i change rumey to bring 2 fighters? i thought its 1 fighters and dive bomber
rumey 2nd slot can equip any plane type
She already is using 2 fighters here
When max limit broken at least*
ah full star, my bad
non mlb ships have no business in w15
since i have 3 wyvern, its still worth to craft one more right?
or just borrow from unused ship
same question to tenrai since i can only craft from proto shop
borrow from unused ship 
W15 is the hardest content in the game
You'll want to squeeze out as much as you can
or try again once you have the planes
how much UR bulin we get in a month?
1.5+0.5
need 2 more bulins. already claim from cruise mission 
so no 0.5 for you next month
Hi, is there any way for me to check my history of gems spent? I am returning after 4 years and I don't remember if I wasted gems or not
no
Nope
you could try checking with CS but they probably will only entertain you if you're asking about recent purchases
Nah, I never purchased any gems, I'm just not sure whether to start a new account or to keep this one
I calculated based on wiki and it seems I might have wasted ~300 gems on dorm furniture, my account is lvl 30
Should I start a new account on a different server?
Is vangaurd really worth the sacrifice in damage to just buff one ship? They all had +13 406 and against the current OpSi HM
nah just play
vanguard buff more than just 1 ship 
Returning post 4 years, please Help
True, but I thought the main part of her is that she reduces spread of flagship right?
that's just a bonus
the bb buff and 10% debuff for entire fleet are the main thing about her
Wait I just noticed she did even less then Ply who was just using her gun
also.. not sure if you got the same mods but
yes her personal damage is on the lower side. if you have soyuz you can just swap her out
Yeah this was the first fight, they took her down to 51%
take 10% of every ship and add to VG, take another 8% from BBs and also add to VG
lemme test it
if you have Soyuz then probably better to use Soyuz
isnt this arbiter kinda just messy anyway
what would be a better damage aux on her?and is this fine on Agir?
She’s in my Nakhimov+Fritz fleet
like isnt this the one taht summons med armor stuff
arbiter mods are the same for everyone
double eva agir
why aren't you using that fleet instead
(i'm using the dummy arbiter since i already beat it)
thats a replica of harbi
dummy has the same mods last time i checked
oic
Because of the mods, use BB fleet to take to 50% then use that fleet to finish it
she can survive Hornet meta i am using those for DPS
dummy should be same as that month's harb
you dont use agir for hornet meta...
just kill her before jelly fish spawns
I one-shotted this month with soynakfritz
but what if i want to see the jellyfish
But that means swapping the gear that I already have setup for HornetM and that’s too much effort
💀
just use the same gear
Isn’t hornet med and this is light?
yeh but you only do it once, and you can probably do over 50% without swapping
yes but rockets good on light even if not optimized for oneshot
plus jellyfish is med
But yeah that’s why I did what I did. The first BB fleet take to about 50% then the better CV fleet can finish
ok ,what about Z52 aux?
can use something better than that thing on first slot
Just I’d never used VG a single time before this
so what's the problem now? you didn't do enough damage?
@ bane
And didn’t realise her damage was so bad
didnt check radar
nice cat : BBbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
should i?
yeah i had like, 4 or 5 oscar. gotta differentiate the one i wanna keep
VG's self damage is meh but her buffs make up for it
Skip
I'd say not worth the cubes just do face
+you lack cubes
the E is fine too
if no face do a cheap refresh option
im just wondering, isnt that dmg kinda low
Hi, if anyone could please help with some of my doubts in my thread it would really help..
I've posted it above
idk im no expert. if she dies, she dies
no i mean the bane fleet, like shouldnt zwei go way past that with helena and ply or was there like no procs
and looks like my mob fleet with 457 on alsace and sap on soy still did like 70%
this test was good thing to do tbh, i noticed that my unzen is kinda lacking 🙂 whops
pls dont steal my super secret build
looks like hindy was running 2x ap too
@wind hazel I bought a breguet, who do I put it on
Specifically for 13-4
forgot what fleet it was
so4g? only if you are gonna use ddg
im usin ddg, at least for now
idk, i havent consulted the very far future plans with ender yet
dang ender upgraded from mod to consultant
quick question ulrich, nj, shima, or kron for ur exchange
do you have shinano, vanguard at mlb?
yis
then i suppose kron if need tank, else nj

just realized i had sy-1a, aanyways what gearis worth getting in
either uvh or nj, uvh has 1 rld at 120, nj has slightly better crossfleet and 1fp at 120
3 pairs of shells, and independence the carrier if you havent
Already got those? And using DDG? Then yes get the seal
inde the what
oh yeah ive consulted you with this
@steel grotto
i think i got inde, havent checked
huh, i dont got inde apparently
ah, well im cooked
how do i get this core fast
Do highest campaign hard mode map
3x a day
Repeat
Is Anchorage still good?
oh .-.
Still one of the best in the game
errr my gold storage almost full what should i do ;-;
Research
oh ok
do ppl even use her with enterprise main anyways based on description
No
Repair ships are extremely useless for 99.9% of players
hmmm
another ahh collection ig
How much of the content can Chang Chun solo?
All event nodes including SP (but not EX)
Campaign up till (including) w12
In other words
All the actually easy content
I plan to make an entire fleet only composed of her, or anyone that greatly resonate with her
You can't make a fleet of only her
You can't run duplicates in a single fleet
Chang Chung buffs all Chinese and Russian ships
I mean just her alone or anyone that resonates with her
So if you want to make a team specifically around that (with the knowledge it isn't a great idea)
She's the worst of her sisters
That's about it lol
Who are her sisters and can we get them without events?
Tai Yuan is the only one obtainable outside event
In the guild shop
An Shan and Fu Shun are limited to Chinese New Year events
Uhh is she good or trash
forgettable
Not the worst certainly
But most destroyers are pretty forgettable, her included
who even is this
no reason to really use her since ddgs
The name is literally there
L'indomitable 
+1dd fp
what the funny little thing with an shans refit?
What
this funny fella
ignore it
As it says on the tin, she can be used as a backliner
Not useful
why would you
memes
Or not knowing better
i did put out a full mainfleet ddg in exercises for shits and giggles but man they sucked in mainfleet mode
what hard campaign level do you recommend me doin a bit for core
The highest you can do
as high as you can go
The higher you go the more you can get
eh yeah sure
Is there a list on who's the strongest among DDG sisters?
id imagine its an shan
do you mind ranking them
Tai Yuan > Fu Shun > An Shan > Chang Chung
Where can I get Taiwan's retrofit item?
Tai Yuan guild shop
why is chang chun the worst one
Fu Shun limited to Chinese New Year
is that, is that it?
Specialised core shop (labelled as protocore shop)
that seems a lot more simple than i expected from good ships but ok
Her retrofit item costs 1/4 of a UR bulin if you missed her event sooo
Least self buffs
Her value is buffing Chinese and Russian ships
i haave like none of those
Except those don't usually team up with her
