[atomic abyss]

And even then, TY is furthest ahead

[tulip thorn]

Is it possible to do this month's challenge mode in auto?

[crimson glacier]

arent all of them

[tulip thorn]

Ig im doing something wrong then

[simple dove]

sso turns out i have fu shun and chang chun and i can go get tai yuan

[normal cedar]

do you get rewards for the challenge? I just unlocked it yesterday

[wind hazel]

aesthetic rewards

[normal cedar]

ig you can use it to flex, thanks

[marsh sparrow]

which dd guns does subs usually use

[muted swift]

So guys I retrofitted Laffey, Portland, and Unicorn. Who should I do next? I was thinking warspite

[marsh sparrow]

beside warspite,is there any other ships you could retrofit

[muted swift]

Well I have all the common ones and a lot of rares and elites

Warspite is the only SR I got that's retrofittable

[thorn pendant]

Shinano or Vanguard UR?

[marsh sparrow]

you reached the exchange?

[thorn pendant]

Yep

I have the other 3.

[marsh sparrow]

do you have enough bulins to mlb them

[thorn pendant]

Nope but I am casual so I will eventually MLB them.

[atomic abyss]

Any unused gold ones, like the gold twin 127

[atomic abyss]

Warspite is one of the worst possible choices

Saratoga, or independence if you already have her from core shop

[muted swift]

Ok, not touching her then!

Hmm Saratoga and independence, let me check

[atomic abyss]

San Diego is the only SR retro worth prioritising

(since Eldridge retro isn't perma yet)

[atomic abyss]

Shinano first

UR bulins prioritised for Musashi

[muted swift]

Wait what rarity are Saratoga and independence

[marsh sparrow]

elite

[atomic abyss]

Elite
Independence is in core shop

[muted swift]

Ok checking rn

[marsh sparrow]

but should he use the bulins or hold until CN anniv?

[muted swift]

I have Saratoga

[atomic abyss]

Anything he gets from CN anni would be 0lb

[muted swift]

I could buy independence, is she worth it?

[atomic abyss]

Musashi is at least 1lb already

[atomic abyss]

Yes
More useful than Saratoga when retrofit

[marsh sparrow]

one of the best support cvl

[atomic abyss]

Saratoga falls off after w13

Independence is very strong even in w15

[muted swift]

Ok I'll save up some cores for her! Thanks for the help guys

[marsh sparrow]

helena is also a recommeded retrofit cl if you get her later

[muted swift]

I have Helena

[marsh sparrow]

cool,you can retro her next after you done with independence

[muted swift]

Okk, thanks!

There's so many ships that I have trouble finding out which are decent lmao

[atomic abyss]

Helena is a very good ship
But her retrofit is relatively low impact

Unlike say, Portland and Unicorn

[muted swift]

Unicorn especially saves my butt, her heal is amazing

[thorn pendant]

Is this team good?

[warped acorn]

is there cv easy to get and cheap? like hard mode x-4 always req a cv

[marsh sparrow]

do you have enty or sara

[warped acorn]

no

[marsh sparrow]

Im not sure should you exchange enty from medal shop

[marsh sparrow]

could you send your cv section here

[atomic abyss]

Bad

[atomic abyss]

Very
Saratoga can be dropped fairly easily
Independence is from core shop
You can pick one up from medal shop if CV is in there

[muted swift]

Wait you got both akagi and kaga? Luckyy

[atomic abyss]

Lucky, but he wasted his time

Huge newbie traps

[muted swift]

Tbf I only got kaga because I was spamming CV stages for Unicorn when I was newer

[atomic abyss]

Bad because neither Musashi or Shinano is max limit broken

Good on kazagumo at least

[marsh sparrow]

you can either use hiryuu or hornet to pass the requirement

[atomic abyss]

Or just check medal shop...

If CV is there, get enterprise

[warped acorn]

i dont think there are...

[atomic abyss]

If not, check again tomorrow when it refreshes

[warped acorn]

well they are the tankiest among them right

[marsh sparrow]

not really,they are ur temp carrier since you facing the hardmode req issue

[thorn pendant]

Recommended Fleet for mob fleet and Boss fleet?

[warped acorn]

oh, i might look for those that have good survivability

[marsh sparrow]

hiryu can survive & cheap carrier but either way you need to pray sara drop for you

[warped acorn]

oh lmao thanks man

[atomic abyss]

Carrier survivability doesn't matter though

[warped acorn]

well but they are temp i dont think i have too much resources to invest into one 🤔

[atomic abyss]

Again doesn't change

[zenith heron]

the best defense is to kill them faster until W14

[wind hazel]

for what content

[atomic abyss]

Just see medal shop tomorrow

See if enterprise is there

[warped acorn]

alr ima see prob ima postpone retrofit unicorn for now

[wind hazel]

no dont postpone it lol

[ionic aurora]

i just came back after about 300 days of break, whats the recommended comp for meta boss?

[zenith heron]

who specifically?

[marsh sparrow]

is medal shop's content different from each player? cuz I can see enty in my shop

[atomic abyss]

Server to server
As in Avrora, Lexington etc

[atomic abyss]

No don't
She's the highest priority retrofit in the game

[ionic aurora]

hornet i guess?

[thorn pendant]

Event last Hard stage.

[atomic abyss]

#gameplay-help message

[ionic aurora]

thanks

[wind hazel]

might need more level

musashi unicorn indep
sanfran z46 sandy

richelieu enterprise essex
roon helena shimakaze

actually switch sandy and shimakaze

[whole crypt]

all those 100s did they just reach 100 or are they holding XP

[thorn pendant]

Most just reach 100 maybe 1-3 holding but I can't remember who, Roon U/San Diego I think.

[spice phoenix]

what specifically is hinden useful for?

[marsh sparrow]

dmg

[whole crypt]

sandy safe to awaken further, maybe check Musashi fairly potent even LB2 given your current dock

[spice phoenix]

yes which armor type sorry forgot to mention

[whole crypt]

all, just change guns

but Unzen will definitely be better for heavy

[marsh sparrow]

yup,change the gun based on the situation

[normal cedar]

finally reached 12-1, is there any rush to get to 12-4? I doubt there is that much difference in coins

[whole crypt]

12-1 is good enough, easier too

[marsh sparrow]

you can live at 12-1 if you wanna chill down abit

[wind hazel]

well, the more you grind, the more the difference would bring

[normal cedar]

I see, I'll chill at 12-1 for a while then, since I need exp now not coins, thanks

[wind hazel]

take 2 weeks to level up at 12-1, go push to 12-4 later

you will need the coin soon

[atomic abyss]

The best Light armour dmg for a vanguard
I believe 2nd highest for med?

Not sure if her or Unzen is better for med

[whole crypt]

isn't mogs higher for light

[atomic abyss]

Good idea

[whole crypt]

med is kind of depends I guess but for Hornet META stig picked Unzen over Hindenburg

[simple dove]

i need aa new pr hip to work for now

[atomic abyss]

Well, have you finished series 4?

[whole crypt]

Hindenburg also gains if you use in a fleet with BisZwei

[simple dove]

very f a r from so

[atomic abyss]

If you're not done with 4
Try to get everyone else
Marco can be skipped

[simple dove]

anchor or august then

[atomic abyss]

Anchor

Extremely high priority

[whole crypt]

no particular order unless you have enough prints to quickly finish one of them

[simple dove]

aah, right

[atomic abyss]

Have you gotten Friedrich de Grosse from series 2?

[whole crypt]

then just pick something you can actually work on

[simple dove]

ender youve reviewed my port

[atomic abyss]

If no, get her
If yes, then you can grab August next

I can't remember every person's dock you know...

[simple dove]

august it is

[wind hazel]

Endereviewer

[simple dove]

mmm but i wanna get anchor >:[

[atomic abyss]

I mean work on August in the mean time

And while doing so
Work on max limit breaking some US ships

Esp backliners

[whole crypt]

kind of counter intuitive when you need KMS main fleets to work on AvP

[atomic abyss]

Well

I mean if they're already levelled

[whole crypt]

just find USS vanguard to level alongside the grind

[simple dove]

uhhhhhh

ok

i dont think i have any viable us vanguards

[whole crypt]

doesn't need to be viable just level anything if you need tech, preferably higher rarity ships or larger hull classes

[atomic abyss]

Helena...

[simple dove]

its been a struggle getting somewhere with helena

[atomic abyss]

Why tho

[wind hazel]

[whole crypt]

what chapter/levels

[atomic abyss]

Last I checked his Helena was 35

[simple dove]

i

have no bulins, also helena is slightly above level 70

[atomic abyss]

I assumed he had exp books to level her up

How do you have no purple bulins

[simple dove]

mystical means

[atomic abyss]

So you retired all of them

[whole crypt]

Helena only takes purple bulins and at worst you can buy her dupes in guild shop

[simple dove]

no 😄

[atomic abyss]

Go buy dupes in the guild shop

Or collect your weekly missions

[simple dove]

oh i forgot about that

[wind hazel]

or buy purple bulin from medal shop

[polar lion]

Ender review my fleets too

[atomic abyss]

Where

[simple dove]

hang on im in a grind rn

[polar lion]

I want max dmg xfleets. What do I change?

Mob fleet preload Aquila, Indepkai, Unikai : z52, Ibuki, Unzen

[forest palm]

these fleets look so cringe

anyway, it doesn't matter what cross fleet you try to optimize if the fight doesn't last more than 15 sec or so

afaik most all cross fleets don't proc till 20 sec after battle starts, and if you're goal is quick fights, then ops mob fights shouldn't last that long

like shim right there doesn't proc till 30 seconds

[polar lion]

Yea well I use my mob fleet for everything till C6 Abyssals so these battles lasts way moar than 30s. So just asking if I might overlook something that could've been better

[normal cedar]

cleveland is for the 25% rng ex gimmicks? or just cuz you like her? I was wondering if I should keep using her to level her up

[polar lion]

It's for the 25% dmg taken debuff yea. It's not reliable so this I only use to max my dmg for very specific use case only

[marsh tusk]

If you have the mats just sitting in your depot, is there any reason not to retrofit the lower tiered ships?

[polar lion]

U wanna reserve them as emergency coin sink to collect natgen coins

[marsh tusk]

What are those?

[tame jungle]

retrofits are very expensive coin-wise so you can use them to quickly burn coins when you're close to the 600k hardcap

[normal cedar]

My main/rear is dying to the boss due to planes at 12-1, any suggestions? Tried using both vanguard combinations:
laffey, cleveland, phoenix and portland, scylla, helena

[whole crypt]

what carriers are you using

[normal cedar]

perseus franklin combo on one fleet, unicorn enty on another

[whole crypt]

start thread post both fleets

[normal cedar]

Bagura 12-1 Boss AA Help

[wary timber]

so which rainbow AA gun is better

[honest sequoia]

both

[dreamy blade]

the newer (EU) one

[wary timber]

the bofors?

[little tree]

The frog one

🐸

[honest sequoia]

the jake AA gun

[tame jungle]

the one that is not fr*nch

[wary timber]

so the 76mm one

[dreamy blade]

yes

[wary timber]

cuz now if im not using STAAGs im using hazemeyers or the 6 barrel bofors

[dreamy blade]

it is better than all of those

[wary timber]

i see. i knew i should have built that gold 76mm...

[forest palm]

[wind hazel]

[gaunt cedar]

thanks

[plush dust]

Are you perhaps able to add Sandy into one of your fleets?

[normal cedar]

Tomorrow, I will for sure do that
Next medal shop reset will 100% have CL, it's been 5 months since our server last had it

[wind hazel]

$5

[weary gust]

Not how rng works.

[normal cedar]

Wdym rng, don't the devs plan it?

[weary gust]

No, it's random each reset. And each server rolls its own results.

[wind hazel]

that's the rng part

even if dev plan it, we don't know what that plan is, hence the rng

[stark quiver]

sometimes servers get the great DD drought

[normal cedar]

I will lose my mind if they add CA for the fourth time straight in medal shop

[wind hazel]

dont worry i will contact my uncle who works at yostar as janitor to mess with the code to add CA SS for you

[stark quiver]

the dark age

[normal cedar]

btw how do you trigger these interactions with little anchorage? does she need to be at higher affinity?? I tried everything else...

[marsh sparrow]

special touch her?

[normal cedar]

nah, doesnt do it, I think Ill have to get her in my fleet in that case...

[stark quiver]

just main secretary to 90 aff

[fierce lantern]

Is this gun good for agir

[weary gust]

CBs want to use CB only guns. Not CA guns.

[forest palm]

mm...Triple 203/55 is better than the Triple 310

provided you need an HE gun for your CB

[viscid swift]

start working hood up and go
Mob: Hood, Unicorn, Saratoga, Portland, San Diego(don't retrofit her), Pheonix???
Boss: Nelson, Enterprise, Souryuu, Eugen, Helena, Laffey

[wind hazel]

something like maryland aquila saratoga
portland sandy +1

which considering you need 20 of them is yeah

not to mention 2 more gold bullins/dupes and her retrofit item

and in total over 50k coins

[normal cedar]

when do you start saving coins for upcoming ur event? 200 rolls will need 300k coins in total

[wind hazel]

at least a week before if you aren't a grinder

[normal cedar]

I can grind but the problem is oil, I only have the weekly oil mostly
Thanks, Ill start saving on 15th then

[wind hazel]

only got 4k oil?

[terse roost]

Next ur when?

[viscid swift]

3 weeks probably

[normal cedar]

16th may announcement stream for it confirmed
22nd may mostly new event start, tentative

[terse roost]

[terse roost]

You only need 4 bulins to max lb right?

[wind hazel]

yes

[viscid swift]

she's one of the best BBs still

also thise quote from Clausewitz is appropriate

"the best strategy is always to be very strong first in general and then at the decisive point"

[cobalt rapids]

be strong for general content first

[viscid swift]

i.e. everything

[stark quiver]

Cheeky proves general content exists

[terse roost]

Wait so cn anniversarry then ur release on global?

[cobalt rapids]

cn anniversay happens at the same time on the 3 servers

[hardy creek]

For the exam newcomer missions, once I get the clear reward who should I pick? Enterprise, San Diego or illustrious? I already have hood

[wind hazel]

enterprise

[normal cedar]

check medal shop first

[wind hazel]

it's still enterprise

[normal cedar]

he can get both enty and sandy tho in that case...

[wind hazel]

pointless to get one just to occupy the dock

sandy is easily obtainable

[hardy creek]

What does sandy do?

[normal cedar]

anti air god

shoots planes

[atomic abyss]

Best anti air DPS in the game
Also strong surface DPS once retrofitted and given her unique augment

[hardy creek]

Ah alright, I got san Diego on medal shop right now, should I get her now or hold on to it to see if the next refresh got enterprise

[wind hazel]

grab sandy

[normal cedar]

get sandy from medal shop now, and enty from mission reward

[hardy creek]

Cuz my CV is only unicorn rn and she's underleveled

[wind hazel]

.

[normal cedar]

enty is not unicorn replacement

[hardy creek]

Alright sure

[sweet delta]

Easily obtainable?

[wind hazel]

ez daily Light

[sweet delta]

Lexington went at least 13 months without CL medal

[wind hazel]

surely someone isn't so bad luck to not get sandiego from daily build at least once in that 13months span

[hardy creek]

I mean even if enterprise by luck is in the shop tomorrow, I can get 80 medals in a month right?

Another question, for my vanguard would it be Portland, Z23 and Helena or Portland, Z23 and San Diego?

[honest sequoia]

Is there a specific file logger i should buy

[rustic adder]

All of them eventually

[wind hazel]

depends whether you can get enough gold bulin for sandiego or not. usually we recommend helena because she's great buffer and cheap to raise. plus sandy wants augment before she gets good

[honest sequoia]

then whats the difference between 1-8

[hollow gust]

Nothing

[rustic adder]

Not fully sure, but they are one time buys

[sweet delta]

The lore

[hardy creek]

Ah alright, I'll run Helena first then

[honest sequoia]

[hollow gust]

They all give rainbow in the end , only thing that matters

[honest sequoia]

RNG plates and ordanance?

[hollow gust]

1 blank plate

[fierce lantern]

Ah that makes sense, well can I have a list for the best in slot items for heavy armor light etc

[forest palm]

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

[outer merlin]

Is the gameplay the same as it used to be or there is a way to skip the strategy/map aspect now ?

[viscid swift]

You can't skip clearing any map no

[hushed sorrel]

there is still the item for 2x rewards and 2x oil costs. daily raids can be skiped

[eternal basalt]

Events take 1x to clear though, current event can be done in 5(!) mminutes

[ionic aurora]

Is there any point 3 starring those 2?

[whole crypt]

if you already 3-starred the hard version no

[ionic aurora]

Thx

[sterile jolt]

check your missions, maybe need to 3star normal difficulty

[ionic aurora]

I had for the third map, did that one

Did not see for first and second though

[sterile jolt]

👍

[eternal basalt]

Everytime it's either normal or hard, not both

[pale mason]

once i get enough to directly get her to 30, would it be worth slamming all of the rainbow prints i've saved?

[viscid swift]

yeah, that's precisely what they're for and I'd rather have Nahkimov at dev 30 than not

[pale mason]

i wasn't sure if there was another pr6/7 ship i should maybe save them for but ok will do

[viscid swift]

nah

Hindenburg isn't used for much
Napoli's role is pretty saturated as is
Kearsarge is good but she shines in more specific comps

[pale mason]

ok cool ty
i currently am running a nano/amagi/implacable backline for a carrier fleet in opsi, would it make sense to make a whole nother carrier fleet when i get nahkimov?

[viscid swift]

well you probably don't need to for just OpSi

[pale mason]

well for opsi harbiter i might since i haven't beaten it yet (tbf i havent tried it in a long time)

these are the carriers i have

and a lot more SR ones below but i dont think they're relevant

[viscid swift]

have you got Soyuz?

[pale mason]

no

[hollow gust]

Voroshilov is fine too

[stark quiver]

What’re all the best cross fleets for harbiter?

[pale mason]

don't have either unfortunately

[hollow gust]

NJ Musashi Independence

[atomic abyss]

tashkent then

with her augment

[pale mason]

best i got is tashkent mu

[atomic abyss]

well you're cooked then

[stark quiver]

That’s all?

[pale mason]

let me go look on the wiki how to get tashkent..

[stark quiver]

Just pair with eld

[atomic abyss]

just wait for next wishing well event

[pale mason]

these are all the northern parliament ships i have

[stark quiver]

Just pair her with eld for now
Tash doesn’t even give good tech

[atomic abyss]

tash mu gives no tech lol

[pale mason]

im confused why it matters if she gives tech points or not

[stark quiver]

TashU is useless

[atomic abyss]

anyways your nakhi is quite cooked

[stark quiver]

Normal tash is honestly useless too

[atomic abyss]

what

[pale mason]

and who is eld? eldridge? i dont have her either

[atomic abyss]

alpha, tash with aug can almost match with DDGs lol

what are you smoking

[stark quiver]

In what scenarios have you used her

[atomic abyss]

when i want soyuz on my BB fleet?

[vivid robin]

I have so many northern parliament ships

[stark quiver]

In that case use a ddg, which are better and give good tech
Idk why you’d raise tash
If so just use Eldridge for stacked slow, it’s more than enough in all ops scenarios

[atomic abyss]

you do realise nakhi also gets a notable damage bump w/ russian slow

not just from the freeze right

[pale mason]

oh eldridge is 20k merit let me see if i have that much..

[atomic abyss]

do you even have eldridge's retrofit item

[weary gust]

Without her retro it won't matter, she's only useful after retro.

[pale mason]

i can exchange for it no?

[atomic abyss]

no

[stark quiver]

I got heated
My bad

[viscid swift]

no

[atomic abyss]

so eld is useless for you

[pale mason]

oh.

[atomic abyss]

at this point just stick to implacable

[sweet delta]

You're bad

[pale mason]

idk when i got it but i have it?

[atomic abyss]

oh you do have it then

[pale mason]

she's not in my merit shop xd guess i have to wait for her to show up

[atomic abyss]

in any case since you have implacable, might as well use her for now instead

[pale mason]

implacable was being used in my nano fleet but i guess i could go avp instead

so in order of priority, who should i be looking to pull for, for nahkimov

[viscid swift]

no one

[atomic abyss]

soyuz when she reruns

you missed your chance to get voroshilov, she was on rate up up till like, a few days ago

[pale mason]

yeah i was doing daily 3 pulls on it but didnt get lucky

didnt wanna waste too many cubes

[stark quiver]

How much cubes did you have

[pale mason]

im at 500 rn, also didnt know voro was used

would've definitely tried a bit harder if i knew she'd be useful oops

[viscid swift]

I mean

[stark quiver]

You don’t need full slow for harb

[pale mason]

do we know how far away that is, like do we have the list of the reruns and release order somewhere

[viscid swift]

even if you did pull for her I doubt you'd use her

[stark quiver]

Sometime next year probably

[atomic abyss]

around a year

[viscid swift]

I'm wagering you have 0 La-9s so Amagi and Shinano are gonna be better for medium armor

[pale mason]

La-9 is the one from pr7 right? yeah im only at 31/50

soo i guess i wont use my prints on nahkimov immediately since i can't make full use of her anyway? or what kind of fleet could i make with her even if she's not being fully utilized

just slap her with yorktown and implacable and call it good?

put avp with my nano fleet?

[atomic abyss]

i would unironically consider kears over nakhi at this point...
even tho nakhi is usually better

[viscid swift]

well not that I'd do ship focus over gear focus on Pr7 but if you can dev 30 nahkimov you knock her face researches from the pool temporarily

[crimson glacier]

kear? eh

[atomic abyss]

not like nakhi will be of much use at this juncture, even at d30

[viscid swift]

Kearsarge has basically one role and that's being a partner to Yorktown 2

[atomic abyss]

not having soyuz is already a big factor against her

[crimson glacier]

at worst nahk is still good carrier

kear isnt even good at campaign

[atomic abyss]

nakhi's dmg also drops without a russian slower

[pale mason]

'temporarily'? are you saying in the case they give her a fate sim in the distant future?

[weary gust]

Once you complete all the ships in a season their face research starts appearing again.

[pale mason]

oh i see

well idk what to think of the situation so i guess i'll just sit on my prints

[eager marsh]

does kazan even drops from HT3?

[viscid swift]

yes

only from the boss though and it's a low drop rate
how low is anyone's guess

[eager marsh]

I guess getting bunker hill in just 2 tries really threw me off

[sweet delta]

My guess is 1%

[steep sleet]

I don't know how to describe it ,but can anyone tell me what's the song name that is played at urgent communion tab

[tacit star]

guy why i see someone have a 92k cap gold but their gold like 150k+

[pale mason]

does nahkimov, yorktown2, implacable, anchorage, helena, eldridge sound like a fine fleet
idk what im doing, just trying to make something work

[weary gust]

urgent communion lol The normal bgm is playing in the comms tab, same as when you're on the main screen and can see your secretary. Did you mean a different screen?

[atomic abyss]

keep impla with shinano and amagi
use rumey yk2 avp/nakhi with ancho helena eld retro

[steep sleet]

Not , it's not just a music . it's a Japanese song.Thats it Idk how to describe it lol 😭

[pale mason]

you can go above the gold 'cap' from doing sorties and collecting commissions, just can't collect anything from your munitions (gold generating over time) while you're over cap

[rustic adder]

The soft gold cap only applys for ppl trying to collect the coins generated by base. Hard coin cap is 600k

Im currently sitting at 450k with nothing to spend on

[pale mason]

didnt know there was a cap for coins, knew there was for oil though

[tacit star]

ah sh what if the gold from muntions full

[rustic adder]

U stop generating more until its no longer full

[weary gust]

If you mean the screen with "Main Campaign" and "Operation Siren" and the event, it's this: https://open.spotify.com/track/5Mu5ZuNm4VBJurjNSnilAW?si=3d8001c2f78d41f2

[rustic adder]

Oil hard cap is 25k i think

[tacit star]

ah thanks

[pale mason]

yk2 is the flagship here?

[atomic abyss]

doesnt matter tbh

the CV with the middle airstrike

[steep sleet]

That's it.Thank you very much.Although I haven't yet unlocked operation siren.

[foggy minnow]

what do i have todo for the "Acuquire 30 Parts through Daily Challenges" which Parts and i did my dailys a moment ago and its didnt raised the number

[viscid swift]

"parts" means gear plates

and you can't do escort raid today

[river remnant]

guys any easy way to see what special equipment my ships can get?

[foggy minnow]

so i can get the mjust thorugh the escort ?

[viscid swift]

you mean unique augments?

[river remnant]

yy

[viscid swift]

well that's the only one that drops upgrade plates so yea

[river remnant]

aaaaaaaa i find

[viscid swift]

check the wiki to see which ships have unique augments or tap their augment slot and it'll show you what augments you can craft

[weary gust]

You can also sort by "Unique Module" in dock.

[versed pebble]

Is there a recommended order for research ships beyond rushing Anchorage and Freddy (FDG)?

[weary gust]

No hard order, depends on what ships you get from event pulls and what you're trying to do. FdG is recommended because you can get her early and coin her, Anchorage is the easiest to obtain late-game tank. PR5 PR and PR4 DR and lower can all be coined now.
The bigger thing is to set research focus appropriately.

[versed pebble]

What is appropriate research focus?

[weary gust]

Either PR6 or PR7. You want to start getting blueprints for the ships you can't only coin. Some still say PR5 is worth putting on focus because the PR5 gear can't be built in gear lab yet and there are a few ships from PR5 worth getting but I think coining/catchup is sufficient for that.

[woven star]

and good to have at least coinable one DR and one PR ship for daily discount

[weary gust]

Plymouth, Agir, AvP, Nakh, Napoli, Shimanto, Hakuryuu are other good ships to build and work on aside from FdG/Anchorage

Roon is good with her unique augment, but mostly for campaign progression early game. She's not used in mid/late game.

[atomic abyss]

never 6 lol

[versed pebble]

So what is a good pr7 to focus on?

[atomic abyss]

focus 5
because of plymouth, brest and plymouth's gun
also harbin gun

[weary gust]

I'd focus 6 before I ever focused 5 nowadays.

[atomic abyss]

6 is one of the worst research pools lol

[atomic abyss]

plymouth is next

[versed pebble]

I'd do one of the pr7 decisives, but I'm lacking tech points

[weary gust]

You can get 1 copy of Plymouth's gun from cores. The only reason to focus 5 is Plymouth/Brest face research.

[atomic abyss]

the issue with series 7

is very high tech point requirements

[weary gust]

Research doesn't require the tech points. You can start getting the BP before building the ship.

[atomic abyss]

ok, but you want more than 1

[weary gust]

Yeah but more than 1 isn't a super high priority. 1 is enough for normal usage.

[atomic abyss]

so why 6 then

[weary gust]

Because none of the ships in there can be coined.

[atomic abyss]

it doesnt matter when most of them are not relevant lol

[versed pebble]

what is plymouth's gun?

[atomic abyss]

quadruple 152mm

[weary gust]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Prototype_Quadruple_152mm_Main_Gun_Mount#Type_0-0

[atomic abyss]

best CL gun in the game by a long shot

anyways focus series 5 because it has the best ships and gear that you should go for

even if you can coin the gold ships there, it only makes your progress for plymouth faster

[woven star]

BB, CA gun, Kear, Hinder

[atomic abyss]

you also get bonuses like harbin's gun, which is one of the 2 twin 130mm guns

[atomic abyss]

kear gun is shit so lol
the only notable gear from PR6 is hinden gun

[woven star]

lol

[atomic abyss]

so hinden, kearsage, shimanto, and hinden's gun

[versed pebble]

so pr6 ships mostly irrelevant?

[weary gust]

No, but they are niche.

[atomic abyss]

more niche than series 4, 5 and 7

unzen is usually preferred over hinden

kears only works well with yorktown2

[versed pebble]

got it. I was working on kears, but I dont have yorktown 2, so ig ill stop her and do plymouth.

[hollow gust]

Extremly strong and extremly niche

[atomic abyss]

plymouth is just far far more versatile

[versed pebble]

And try to get the northern parliament tech points needed for pr7 decisive

[atomic abyss]

and guess what

there's a northen parliament ship in series 5 (chkalov)

[weary gust]

who can be coined

[atomic abyss]

i mean so what if she can

all it means is you progress even faster with the other rainbows

[weary gust]

Long term I see no reason to focus on seasons which can be coined.

[atomic abyss]

plymouth can be coined?

[weary gust]

https://discordapp.com/channels/456397991847395339/460645783021289472/1367242516939669504

I don't have much more to say on it.

[atomic abyss]

you get 150 BP catch up for ply and brest each

you need 513 each for dev 30

im not sure where the other BPs are coming from

[weary gust]

Every event gives free BPs that can be used on them. Eventually they'll be added to coining too.

[atomic abyss]

eventually is when though

and using series 7 BPs on series 5 ships is borderline silly

[worthy pike]

what would be the best place for me to gain exp for ships and my commander level? I've just finished chapter 5

[atomic abyss]

esp when you cant coin series 7 ships for a long time

[atomic abyss]

event map if you havent done it

[worthy pike]

I've just done the first 2 stages

[atomic abyss]

can you do T3?

[worthy pike]

i think i can lowkey

also does completing stages with 3 stars give you extra exp/rewards or does it just give you auto mode

[atomic abyss]

3* campaign maps gives you rewards such as gems

for event maps, you get other rewards

[worthy pike]

alright

[weary gust]

The 3* rewards are one time rewards.

[worthy pike]

how hard is getting those gems in general

is it a waste using those on skins

[weary gust]

You can consider f2p gem income to be essentially zero.

[worthy pike]

damn alright

[weary gust]

Outside of very specific events and one time clear rewards.

Urgent comms are the only "renewable" source and gl with getting those and even if you get them gl with having them return with gems.

[worthy pike]

so i gotta be extremely careful when using them i see

[weary gust]

Dock space, 2 dorm slots, and dorm 2nd floor. That's what f2p gems should go to.

[worthy pike]

i saw 7 million skins so i thought it was manageable but I guess it aint

[atomic abyss]

skins are pretty much for whales

[worthy pike]

I'll use them on the dorm first

[rocky tinsel]

Question: For this month's challenge, Yukikaze. Is there a guide anywhere? I'm going to try synching helena to her life buoy spawn. Probably bring Plymoth, Laffey and Helena. Back line, what's my highest damage carrier option? can I sync to 20s?

[atomic abyss]

i sent one to you earlier

[atomic abyss]

you were already sent one earlier

[rocky tinsel]

Oh so sorry! I apologize!

Thank you. Poor reading comprehension on my part.

[sweet delta]

Helena scan may or may not apply to the life buoys depending on which comes first by a split second

[weary gust]

IF Helena even procs that time.

Helena shouldn't be relied upon for things that need to be done consistently. Either short battles re-rolled for multiple procs or long term averages. The life buoys are too important to clear asap every time they spawn for Helena to be the determining factor in your fleet comp.

[eager marsh]

would it still count if i finished a pr4 ship ahead before i get to the pr4 final mission?

[weary gust]

For newcomer missions? It should count.

The only things that don't count before the mission is active are the "do daily challenge" and "do hard mode stages"

and builds I guess

[eager marsh]

alright, thanks

[stone sluice]

Any suggestions for tomorrow’s May Challenge mode?

[sweet delta]

https://suchiguma.github.io/challengemode/may/

[hollow gust]

I don't remember doing takao

[stone sluice]

For the High-end CV, if I replace Helena with Scylla, should I use Anchorage instead of Z52?

I’m trying to beat every boss/battle without Helena

[dreamy blade]

Z52 does more dmg and buffs your fleets dmg, ancho just buffs your vg survivability

[floral thunder]

How rare is it to get Kawakaze in the shop

[undone plover]

sushi does 20.1 neko work for this yukikaze fight?
I dont want to waste time restarting

[twilit crow]

is it ever worth farming war archives for fleet tech?

[ivory pawn]

Yes. Especially if you're able to clear D3 or whatever the last stage is, but haven't quite unlocked w11 yet.

Often recommended to farm Divergent Chessboard for IB tech for FdG.

[dreamy blade]

Good to do during the downtime between events if you need tech for PR unlocks

[stark quiver]

Just replace with a cv buffer or something
Keep z52

[humble solar]

Is Kala Ideas good?

[weary gust]

She's decent, but if you've been around long enough to have her you probably have better tanks like Agir, Anchorage, Guam, etc.

[viral remnant]

I already given an exclusive item. Can i see animation again?

[dreamy blade]

22.18 amagi
22.23 implac
22.35 Haku
does this work for timing implac?

also if Helena sinks right after her scan procs does the debuff persist?

[sweet delta]

alphamisinformation spotted

[stark quiver]

[humble solar]

I only have Anchorage

I need a 2nd tank

Can Chang Chun and Taiwan run most content?

[sweet delta]

It's perfect for at least 6 strikes which is over 2 minutes

[twilit crow]

im commander lvl 81, i can clear ht3 and sp from the tupila event but i havent finished w10 yet because i got lazy and didnt want to push campaign till the envent ended so after the event ends i would probably be able to finish w10 and 11 in like 2 days is it still recommended to divergent chessboard then?

[humble solar]

I want to run with a full-DDG fleet

[stark quiver]

Like full frontline?

[humble solar]

Yeah, right now I have Taiwan and Chanchung

[stark quiver]

Uhh if under a decent amount of vanguard pressure a full ddg frontline will explode

[kind needle]

Is 2 NJ guns enough?

[stark quiver]

For most cases yea

[humble solar]

I plan to go with Z52-Chanchung-Taiwan

[kind needle]

Too squishy

[viscid swift]

for what exactly, also it's Tai Yuan not Taiwan

2 very different things

[humble solar]

Single-fleet clearing

[viscid swift]

again, single fleet clearing for what

[humble solar]

Everything?

[viscid swift]

no such thing

[humble solar]

I need 3rd fleet for Opsi and a single fleet clearing for 11+

[viscid swift]

either that fleet isn't strong enough, the content is so easy you may as well use ships that need levels, or too expensive oil wise

[humble solar]

Are DDGs oil expensive?

Damn I assumed they wouldn't be

[kind needle]

Are German Rockets okayish on Light armoring?

[viscid swift]

no but you don't need a full vanguard to clear say event maps

[dreamy blade]

Meaning more expensive than a 1:1 fleet

[viscid swift]

Unicorn + a DDG is usually more than enoug

[humble solar]

Aight

[verbal thistle]

How many days before the event ends?

[humble solar]

Unicorn - Chanchung - Tyuan

[viscid swift]

also if you're farming W12 on safe
just use ships that need levels as I said and not maxed ships

[dreamy blade]

Better than torps but worse than hvars

[viscid swift]

"a" as in singular

[humble solar]

HAVEN'T retrofitted Tai Yuan yet

[kind needle]

Use them in Vanguard, not in Main Fleet.
Like the vanguard comp is Z52, Tai Yuan and an AA carry prob.

[kind needle]

Retrofit Tai Yuan asap

[humble solar]

I only need one bullin and I already exhausted all bullin sources for today

[kind needle]

Wait it.

[viscid swift]

why are you using Unicorn anyway

you don't need her to babysit them in W12

and not you're not getting under the oil cap with that anyway so just run a full fleet

[sinful escarp]

with that fleet adding some that you want to level are better than uni

if you cant clear 12-4 just go down to 12-1 until they all get levels

[sharp pine]

Is F6F hvar and double Skyraider a good loadout for Yorktown 2 for the Temperance fight?

[dreamy blade]

what is the rest of your fleet? thats going to be really slow

[hollow gust]

no

one raider already needs beacons

[rapid grail]

i don't see players using 2 skyraiders on one cv and for good reason

just give the other skyraider to someone like fritz rumey, man

[marsh sparrow]

does yorkII need to activate her airstrike before enty?

[sweet schooner]

Wut dis for?

[marsh sparrow]

unlock shipgirl asmr at momento section,cost 3 to unlock one asmr

[light trail]

what does kear generally use as equipment vs light bosses?

[hollow gust]

406 and hvar

[light trail]

like say in opsi

are aux equips like BB or mixed BB/CV aux gear?

[marsh sparrow]

just like normal BB

[light trail]

okok thanks

[hollow gust]

she doesnt scale with avi well

[forest palm]

this works right?

[stark quiver]

Harb?
With your tech and raw damage probably

[dreamy blade]

thats a surprising amount of +10s

[forest palm]

I never bother changing the gear level

[sharp pine]

Lol with all my fretting about the skyraiders on my USS carrier fleet and my mixed German fleet took hard Temperance to 35/100

[forest palm]

someday the HVAR will get powercrept by a UR plane

[sharp pine]

Ehhh, I say enjoy the moment of hvar supremacy.

[warped acorn]

whats a asmr

[sweet delta]

/google asmr

It's a secret

[warped acorn]

nvm my knowledge make me not eligible to understand that

[rapid grail]

ye it works. Would like a Junker on Shinano tho for the sync

[forest palm]

you don't know what you're talking about...

actually look into what a D-4 would do to the timing

[rapid grail]

Fair point, I haven't touched Lars' calc for a good while

[forest palm]

be careful with advice

[late flame]

b-but speading misinformation

[hollow gust]

that nano is slightly off but junker would def make it too slow

[slow fox]

You need to put rudders on the carriers

[tawdry halo]

A secret-

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Memories#Secrets
an extra button shows up as well (as secretary) if you have bought the secret

[tawdry halo]

I guess when I collect enough tickets I buy Helena secret

[hollow gust]

should buy the limited ones you like first, helena is perm

[tawdry halo]

I dont have other shipgirls

😔 unless next event they give me a shipgirl with secret, because I get the third ticket next month

[stark quiver]

you dont need the girl to use the secret

[hollow gust]

secrets is just a video

granted some of them look like hentai

[tawdry halo]

Pls tell me in advance which one

[stark quiver]

i think mogs

[warped acorn]

how u get this

[wind hazel]

hentai??

[hollow gust]

opsi

[warped acorn]

ah sh, looks like next century stuff

[hollow gust]

Moggy Voroshilov Golden hind gets pretty close

[tawdry halo]

You shouldnt have spend your gems on class slots as an f2p

[warped acorn]

8 more lv left to chap 8...

[tawdry halo]

good luck at W10, especially 10-3

[plucky ice]

should i slot in 2 flapjacks on my fritz rumey

[warped acorn]

well that one lv 80 req...

[tawdry halo]

No?

[stark quiver]

is mog secret still avaialable

[tawdry halo]

W10 is lv 70

W9 is lv65, W8 is lv60

[warped acorn]

welp still another century stuff

[tawdry halo]

Why did you even use up your exp books solely on your Chapayev to get her to lv80 while the rest of the fleet is under lv40?

[wind hazel]

where are you using her for

[warped acorn]

no idea

[stark quiver]

mogs is infact still available

[plucky ice]

Campaign

[warped acorn]

now chap lv 110 others below 100

[tawdry halo]

[wind hazel]

yeah sure double flap works, or flap+wyvern also work

[tawdry halo]

At least Mori fixed your formation in time, or else you would probably blunder more

[plucky ice]

Ty I was thinking of adding wyvern too but i wasnt sure

[tawdry halo]

[wind hazel]

what's this, criticizing hour or something

leave him alone

[warped acorn]

well i shall find ways of getting lv 60 quick

[tawdry halo]

So anyway, what is the recommend period to finally start locking in OpSi?

[wind hazel]

as soon as you can unlock it

[tawdry halo]

[tawdry halo]

Aside from OpSi, am I doing good with these 2 formations

[sharp socket]

i hope that implac is getting mlb soon

[dreamy blade]

should probably swap scylla and nimi, being lv112 makes her much tankier

probably even tankier than lil ancho

[tawdry halo]

Next week is mlb guarantee

[sharp socket]

wait thats small ancho

[river junco]

Any benefit to retrofitting a ship I'm trying to level for fleet tech then scrapping?

[dreamy blade]

only if you care about collection%

[wind hazel]

collection %

[tawdry halo]

What the lack of tankers does to a person

[sharp socket]

eh fair enough shes slightly better portland

[tawdry halo]

Although I think she's a nice tanker since she has the raw stats of Anchorage

[warped acorn]

why it seems most of lategame content need 2 fleet is it a must or 🤔

[tawdry halo]

Ight

[river junco]

it's preferrable to have 2 fleets, you can try to one fleet the harder content but it's a lot more difficult

[harsh gust]

you technically can try to clear with only one fleet (up to a point) but it'll be way harder

[sweet delta]

It's not a must except when the game actually requires it, like in Frostfall coalition mode

[warped acorn]

ah, sounds like xp spread 🤔

[harsh gust]

you mostly use 2nd fleet as a boss fleet

so one fleet clears all the mobs and 2nd fleet handles the boss when it spawns

[tawdry halo]

I didnt manage to go any further than the third stage because of the coalition mode

[warped acorn]

o

[tawdry halo]

4 fleets coalition blocked me off

[tawdry halo]

Mostly due to the fact only one fleet will cause ammo to run out, leading to dmg reduction

[river junco]

i don't really think out of ammo is really that big of an issue, more just having a mob fleet and dedicated boss fleet as re3 mentioned earlier

[tawdry halo]

(Which I am finally working on)

[quartz breach]

What is this "HT3" stage in the event?

I don't see any stages with an "H" in front of them. Do I have to watch story cutscenes first or something?

What about SAP

I have a the UR sap gun from the event

good on med

[zenith heron]

Best on Medium? Meh on Light, Worse on Heavy

why are you using musashi against light

[polar lion]

Coz I wanna see if this can 1 salvo HTempy or not but I dun hav much AP left to reset fleet a lot. If this works, then they might also work for HStrsngth and HHermit

[viscid swift]

you're not one salvoing with BBs

especially with a somewhat half assed fleet like that

[polar lion]

Wdym? They are the highest dmger BBs and best dmg amp frontliner

[stark quiver]

wait

you're fighting a light armor boss

Other good mixed fleets are good vs L/M but they prolly hab major issues when vs HHermit aside from triple IJN

[fierce lantern]

Should I remove Soyuz too

[wind hazel]

no

https://suchiguma.github.io/challengemode/april more in depth guide

[late flame]

looking back i've no idea how i won last year. maybe lucky e & helena procs

[stark quiver]

remove soyuz and you will die

[fierce lantern]

Alr

[viscid swift]

my dude, powercreep hasn't gotten to the point where you can one salvo all harbiters with the same fleet

[fierce lantern]

Her heal pmo

[polar lion]

We can but only with triple IJN so far. I can one strike HTempy with triple IJN

[viscid swift]

so just use that then if you're really that lazy

[stark quiver]

if you time soyuz correct it wont be a problem

[polar lion]

Na it's not coz I'm lazy swapping stuffs. I'm exploring combos that might work vs all HArbiters

[stark quiver]

it wont

[late flame]

raise dupes and put different guns for different fights /s

[clear harbor]

Bumperino.

[late flame]

if the zone you are on is 'Secured' just exit it (by clicking a blue port)

@merry fog
do give this a read
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/dayonetips/avoidrequisition

[warped acorn]

is there even a guide of recommended furnishing set to buy

[atomic abyss]

No because it doesn't matter

[stark quiver]

no
i buy all the event and limited ones

[wind hazel]

no, just buy the ones you like or max comfort

[warped acorn]

so just buy single furnishing only for comfort 🤔

[clear harbor]

It says explorable.

[late flame]

then defeat all enemies (if there is any remaining)

[late flame]

then just exit it, you are good

[clear harbor]

Oh. Lol. Thanks. This is what I get for playing a few fights at a time while at work.

[whole crypt]

sup mogs

[normal cedar]

There is a guide actually

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Living_Area#Dorm for more information, go to the bottom most part of this page

[stark quiver]

i mean does it really matter.......

[plain saffron]

buy limited one > permanent one

[normal cedar]

not really, but he did ask for guide so might as well give it to him

[stark quiver]

just buy limited sets and itll be more than enough

[late flame]

the real guide is to do comms and save

[storm heron]

do we have a maintenance on midnight?

[late flame]

seeing there's nothing on#game-news
safe to say no maint*

[storm heron]

I still have 5000 AP

[late flame]

i suppose you could just hide in opsi till you clear out the AP
since it wont reset till you get out of it

[normal cedar]

what's the difference between hellcat and corsair, both seem similar in terms of fr,avi and armaments?
Cuz the guide recommends hellcat for ships like perseus while corsair for some like franklin

both purple ones

[ionic kraken]

is there a way to check what skill a ship will have upgraded for reaching fate simulation 5? i just got dev level 30 on saint louis and am curious

[storm heron]

what guide is THE guide?

[forest palm]

it should show you in the FS upgrade tree

[normal cedar]

ectl, it shows gold hellcat above purple cosair

[forest palm]

"ectl"...enough said

[ionic kraken]

i found it now thanks! 🙂

[rapid grail]

any guide for next month's (this may) challenge?

[normal cedar]

Should I craft helldivers in gear lab? I only have 2 rn...

[whole crypt]

you can get them out of boxes but purple mats are cheap if you're really desperate I guess

[storm heron]

is there even franklin on ectl

[normal cedar]

no, I was talking about perseus
franklin I based off enty

[whole crypt]

some carriers have odd entries like those but generally all 2x500lb fighters are sidegrades

[forest palm]

purple Corsair does upgrade to one of the best fighters in the game, no?

[whole crypt]

normally I'd just recommend purple corsair because cheap and easy to access/enhance, and can be crafted into flapjacks later

[normal cedar]

I see, thanks then

[whole crypt]

if you have any of the gold 2x500s then at the very least you're still getting 20 more AVI out of it, outside of any serious AA concerns (which isn't until ch13)

[late flame]

https://suchiguma.github.io/challengemode/may

[normal cedar]

are steam catapults pure rng through boxes... I have only 5 purple and 1 gold one

[late flame]

also craftable from research iirc

[normal cedar]

I see, just a last question
Should I get saratoga's aug before finishing her retrofit? Or it will be useless before retro finished

[whole crypt]

if you can afford it just go for it

[late flame]

saratoga's aug is good yeah

[slow fox]

For EX?

I'm not sure if that's be useful, because people don't auto EX, do they?

[stark quiver]

those who know

[whole crypt]

there's no point mostly because the practical evasion rate is basically 0 outside of perfect evasion

[wary timber]

Purple Stukas good for general purpose bombing ? Kinda ran out of helldivers

[late flame]

TIL one can run out of helldivers

[honest sequoia]

Only helldiver and tenrai are general DBs

SB2C is only a direct upgrade to helldiver if u +13 it

But it’s expensive to craft so usually it’s not recommended to craft one

Can be used to craft others

[whole crypt]

how do you run out of helldivers just swap the planes off from other carriers you're not using

[wind hazel]

useable

[whole crypt]

XSB3C

[forest palm]

I've purged most all of my Helldivers

[honest sequoia]

Or just open tech boxes

[whole crypt]

SB2C is helldiver

[honest sequoia]

I confused with S and X

[whole crypt]

the number is also wrong 🙂

[honest sequoia]

Or grind 11-4

[wind hazel]

just call it golddiver

[honest sequoia]

😔

[whole crypt]

anyway just swap the helldivers off carriers you're not using, you shouldn't need more than 4-5 at most and you should have more than that

[wary timber]

I purged a lot of equipment to make way for stuff like AA guns or main guns I need to craft in the lab

[wind hazel]

if you have the Fairey from implacable event you can use that too

[whole crypt]

why would you need to purge any equipment at all

also what are you even crafting from the lab, I suspect you're wasting a lot of materials making crap

[wind hazel]

agir #1 RAAAAAA

[whole crypt]

Helena META fleet kills taurus hard in like 4 minutes

[wind hazel]

where is azuma 🥹

[slow fox]

'

[wind hazel]

lol below neptune

[wary timber]

My depot is at 323/355 I ain't got much more space. Also I'm crafting stuff like wyverns, rainbow aa guns, I need a Mk7 for my FDG and a lot more crap lined up that needs work

[late flame]

uh just equip unused stuff on unused ships..

[whole crypt]

you know you can just gear stuff onto ships and it won't count for depot space

[forest palm]

Azuma being a disappointment shocker

[atomic abyss]

You're meant to equip stuff on ships
Gear on ships don't take up depot space

[viscid swift]

Just throw unused gear on ships you don't use

[whole crypt]

also you're probably keeping a lot of crap that's less important/useful than heldiver

[late flame]

imagine purging wrong stuff

[late flame]

FML i purged mikasa gun

[whole crypt]

eHP for EX hard is kind of moot when your ships die in like 3 bullets or something

[wary timber]

How does one-

[wind hazel]

eh, no. it's good to know because some can let you auto

[whole crypt]

if you want to auto ex just auto normal and be done with it

[wind hazel]

how about you let people do what they want

[whole crypt]

how about we wait and see if any of the new EX hards will even let your ships survive on auto

[wind hazel]

the past few have been able to do so....

and knowing laffey2 isn't good for it save us a lot of trouble testing

[slow fox]

Don't worry, fellas. PR8 will release a final, real HP tank.

382% eHP in EX and 144% regular eHP

[wind hazel]

built in UR Rudder tank

[fair lance]

Nah PR9 will be better.

[rapid grail]

PR8 with UR Rudder.

[viscid swift]

Just so you guys know

[late flame]

nah UR crane first

[viscid swift]

Napoli is basically one of the tankiest Vanguards in WoWs and one of the few cruisers that comes close to having actual BB levels of armor so.....

[slow fox]

But she's EVAtank booo 👎

-# Napoli I still love you

[viscid swift]

Oh so you want Valparaiso

[forest palm]

doesn't Anchorage also live off of smoke

[whole crypt]

Anchorage lives off 2s invul

[slow fox]

It's not her smoke, per se. It's the invulnerability that comes with it.

[storm heron]

why is there a 0.2s difference between mrlar and in game?

and who should I trust

[ionic kraken]

is there an easy way to get any ships from sardegna empire? or are they all build pool? i kind of want to work on getting napoli

[fair lance]

I believe one or two show up in merit shop iirc

[frank pulsar]

could be cat diff or your timing adjustment aux
otherwise idk

[storm heron]

I see, might be my bad since I thought cat is included already.
well doesnt matter anymore, I got 03:53 on aries

[whole crypt]

we don't recommend building hard to fish for specific ships, you kind of want to save cubes for events and also grinding out napoli now isn't particularly helpful unless you already have a lot of her prints to use her right away

[stark quiver]

isnt it just a med punching bag

[whole crypt]

if you take too long then the bag rolls over you, but since Helena META fleet has enough DPS

[storm heron]

is this harby heavy? oh its light

[whole crypt]

is it hermit

shouldn't it be strength this month I thought we just fought tempy last month

[ionic kraken]

that's fair. i figured napoli would be cool to start working on since i just finished saint louis, and i'm nowhere near the ironblood requirement to start agir. i know it's gonna take a while but i feel like i should be working on at least one pr/dr ship at all times. also i thought 300 sardegena tech points wouldn't be too bad since i've almost got the 200 northern parliment points from just kursk

[whole crypt]

Anchorage?

if you don't have enough tech just keep working on PR1 ships that you can unlock

[fair lance]

Yeah looking at the wiki you can get Littorio in the merit shop so just look out for her for now.

[whole crypt]

practically none of the research ships will be useful fresh out of the gate anyway so there's very little point trying to rush any specific one

[ionic kraken]

thank you all for the advice ❤️

[silk sphinx]

L->M->H. If the current month has light armor arbiter next month it's medium

[sharp socket]

does napoli have a use cause anchorage and some other tanks already work fine

[fierce lantern]

I’ve heard that I can use Eldridge as an alternative to Laffey II is this true

[slow fox]

-# They released Napoli to sate my appetite

[wind hazel]

i've only seen it in one META fight use case

[sharp socket]

like sure she's the most tanky ship but does she do anything else cause other tanks are cheaper and already work
