[whole crypt]

faction is just part of the ID

[boreal wagon]

it sorts by id yes

[silk sphinx]

for instance archive is sorted by ID

[wind hazel]

-# what if i sort by id no

[boreal wagon]

(do note the id the game uses and the one ull find on the wiki ship list are different, tho they usually align)

[sharp socket]

seems like after german is chinese italian russian french dutch tempesta meta collab

[silk sphinx]

why is the wiki id different...

[whole crypt]

because spaghetti code

[boreal wagon]

because the game has 2 ids for every ship an index and a group id

[plain saffron]

Because why not

[viscid swift]

sigh

[whole crypt]

small indie dev plz understand

[silk sphinx]

for allen, the id here is 518, on the wiki it's 508, and the group one is 10418

[plain saffron]

Group id the the only one matters

[silk sphinx]

i don't get it

[whole crypt]

for now it's xxyzz where xx is faction y is hull class zz is the ship?

[boreal wagon]

that 518 isnt allen its one of her sisters

[plain saffron]

Let me find my comments years ago

[silk sphinx]

right sorry.

[viscid swift]

does anyone have a list of all of these

[silk sphinx]

in that case makes perfect sense

[boreal wagon]

maybe

[viscid swift]

I might need them for an experiment.....

[whole crypt]

(what happens when they get to more than 99 ships in one hull class for one faction)

[wind hazel]

EOS

[tame jungle]

AL2

[sharp socket]

the game breaks

[silk sphinx]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/List_of_Ships is here with ship ids but the group ids matter more (the game def sorts by 5 number ones)

[boreal wagon]

they will probably just append to the end of the whole list theyve run into thos issue with skins already

[whole crypt]

is it possible to low cost 13-1H boss

[plain saffron]

It can be 6 digit for faction with double digit

[whole crypt]

ah the dutch

[silk sphinx]

also curious, since rn there's ids like Collab055

[boreal wagon]

and all collabs

[plain saffron]

And meta

[boreal wagon]

those are just shortened by the wiki from the person that previously did them

[plain saffron]

Collab is wiki made

Same with older research ship, wiki made

[silk sphinx]

i see...

[whole crypt]

collab is all the way at the bottom because their ID is even more ridiculous

[plain saffron]

But yeah something like faction, hulltype, class, number

Collab is always 1xx

[boreal wagon]

yeah collab nations start at 100

[plain saffron]

And "universal" is 96 iirc

[whole crypt]

bulin is 10000

[plain saffron]

97 is meta 99 is siren

[boreal wagon]

well, technically bulins are their own nation

good old 🍝

[whole crypt]

anyway, 13-1H, is low cost boss possible?

[viscid swift]

how low cost?

[whole crypt]

less than the cap

[plain saffron]

The other id useful to see when they're planned/created by devs i guess

[whole crypt]

I've already cleared it down ot safe I'm just thinking of cutting more corners

[plain saffron]

Btw xxxyyzz

🏃‍♂️

[whole crypt]

yeh for ships that've gone up to the next digit I guess

[plain saffron]

Hullclass is 2 digit

Saratoga 10703
001 eagle union
07 CV
03 ship

Yes i remember her id

[whole crypt]

so for 1 digit factions it's xyyzz?

[plain saffron]

Yes

[silk sphinx]

out of curiosity, is it 001 eu or just 1 eu?

[plain saffron]

1
I put 001 because it can be 3 digit but that makes it more confusing

It's all numbers so no 0 in front

[silk sphinx]

thx

[plain saffron]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/AzurLaneData/common.html
Scroll down a bit

Ouh 96 is tempesta

All my "documentation" is in txt files so your site is easier to link to

[slow fox]

I should make eHP3.txt in solidarity with Nagami

[blissful atlas]

I have some extra core I can either buy another 12 pounder to max instead of swapping one between 2 tempesta or was thinking about grabbing this plane and wanted to know if it was worth or who can even use it

[stark quiver]

It’s basically a budget wyvern

[cobalt gate]

isn't it like 1 sec faster?

[whole crypt]

which is not really relevant

[slender turtle]

How much of each ur plane should I generally be going for?

[vale spindle]

Can you make an llms.txt

[inland shoal]

Ig 2 is a good start

[soft raft]

The event ends this week right

[inland shoal]

Yup

[inner verge]

is this better than the purple HE main gun thats recommended everywhere?

if i calculated it correctly it should be more damage

[stark quiver]

Did you factor in reload time and spread

[inner verge]

spread no

[cobalt gate]

so i'm looking at this, the increase seems big for flapjack into the new fw190 plane?

[stark quiver]

Reload time for one is good for syncing with o the ships
And the spread for the mk6 is better

[hollow gust]

Theoretically most damage , in practice it's gonna whiff everything

[inner verge]

i dont know a lot about the game and its mechanics yet, thank you that helps me a lot :)

[atomic abyss]

for w15 support fleet, it is indeed superior
one issue - no bombs

[stark quiver]

Also mk6 syncs quite well with the preexisting mk7

[cobalt gate]

yeah mainly looking at upgrading for support fleet

[atomic abyss]

also, it's not that big of an upgrade even

[cobalt gate]

oh it isn't?

[atomic abyss]

while the AA DPS is higher, it doesnt stay on the screen as long

so you're not gonna get as much AA off

[cobalt gate]

but shorter reload and seems to be much higher dmg?

[boreal wagon]

being a faster plane hurts the plane a tad

[atomic abyss]

put it this way

the longer your plane is on screen, the more chances it has to shoot

you overestimate how much impact shorter reload and higher AA DPS makes for a fighter

tldr, best for support fleet yes, but only by a small margin

it is very cheap tho

[cobalt gate]

i see the dps chart made it seem like it was 20% better

[atomic abyss]

it helps to know how that DPS was measured

[cobalt gate]

Seems to be damage per flight

[sweet delta]

It was not measured but calculated

Well, calculated based on incorrect measurements

[slow fox]

-# Good thing eHP is calculated based on nothing

[clear harbor]

Who would be worth picking up from the Medal shop next? I picked up Sirius Last month, presumably I can pick up San Diego eventually from the rookie missions (the only bottle neck for me at this point is getting gear up to +8 and deciding to to oath with).

[forest palm]

just Sandy and Sirius

[clear harbor]

Is the sub worth it at all?

Not that she would exclude the choice from above, but she is also available to me this month.

[atomic abyss]

yes, unless you already have the albacore flasher archerfish trio

[forest palm]

didn't 37 get powercrept by 101 w/ UE

[sweet delta]

Sub is worth for KMS tech points

[forest palm]

there is that

[clear harbor]

Oh good call.

I need all the fleet tech points I can get.

I have another question. I'm at the where my starter fleet ships are hitting 120. I've rotated out those that hit 120 (Pen, Unicorn, and Helena) for other ships for EXP gain. This is fine, I can farm 9-4 without too much trouble. But if I want to progress in W10, do I go back to my starter fleet temporarily?

I guess my real question is, what is the approach and balance towards leveling all ships vs. trying to advance the campaign.

[tame jungle]

you use your best ships to push campaign

[cobalt gate]

oh measurements are incorrect as well?

[tame jungle]

however i think around ch9 and beyond is where you'll want to start thinking about a 2nd fleet anyway

[forest palm]

CN data is a mess and notorious for being unable to replicate the results

[clear harbor]

Oh no...I looked up Albacore at work. That art is...uh...I'm just glad I have my own office.

[atomic abyss]

maybe not play AL in the office

[slender turtle]

What kind of role does aquila do in a fleet? Like I know she is good and i have her skills all leveled up, just don’t know what fleet she is good with

[forest palm]

support

[atomic abyss]

end game AL (w14/15) as a secondary healer + support

[cobalt gate]

Most of the time mob fleet as a support cv that protects vanguard dmg is ok

[little tree]

Vanguard likes to go poof in w15 but aqulia keeps them nice and full

[cobalt gate]

I rely on unicorn

[slender turtle]

Ah gotcha, so like a cv mob fleet with unicorn and another cv

Or with like mushashi/raff flag?

[cobalt gate]

Usually it’s 2cv and a bb

[slender turtle]

Makes sense ig, ill have to work on my fleet set ups for w14, thinking about starting it soon

[atomic abyss]

musashi uni aquila

[little tree]

Fdg is very good for w14

For mob

[slender turtle]

Yeah i just got her fs5, so could use her or musashi for mob

And then ijn cv sisters for boss should be fine?

[cobalt gate]

which sisters?

[slender turtle]

Well ig not sisters technically, but the usual amagi/haku/shinano combo

[cobalt gate]

Oh yeah

[atomic abyss]

well, 2 CV 1 BB

[cobalt gate]

Oh yeah want a bb if posssivle due to ramming ships

[slender turtle]

Ah okay, ill just put raf in the mob then, and have mushashi in the boss fleet with amagi and shinano then

[cobalt gate]

Sounds good. For 14-3 and 14-4 make sure to have hedgehog and maybe the gold are plane in gear lab for unicorn

[slender turtle]

Yeah i think thats where i would struggle, dont really know what special gear i need for it

[cobalt gate]

I forgot did w14 had the annoying special carrier enemy have to kill 1st or was that just w15

You should be fine don’t forget to use subs as needed and you can use oil to move sub. And turn on the lighthouse

[cobalt rapids]

w14 doesnt have carrier nodes

[stark quiver]

Only w15 have super carriers

[cobalt gate]

Man I hated those enemy

Good thing they don’t appear in clear mode

[slender turtle]

Would this work for w14 then? (Obv i have to level aquila first)

And is there another option for aquila since i don’t have her leveled yet?

[cobalt rapids]

no, lvl her its easy and swap ibuki with kazagumo

[little tree]

Is raff good on w14?

[cobalt gate]

I don’t think sandy is needed? But still ok

[little tree]

~~ sandy is always needed ~~

[cobalt rapids]

all ur bb can do w14

[little tree]

Even vanguard?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[little tree]

[slender turtle]

I can do fdg i stead, but i dont have her at 125 yet, only 120

[cobalt rapids]

but yes raff is super good in campaign

[cobalt gate]

For mob

[slender turtle]

And if you have any suggestions on changes, im open to it!

[cobalt rapids]

use raffello shes one of the best

and u have the other best in ur other fleet

the only other suggestion is to replace sandy with anchorage and drop kazagumo from mob for sandy

[cobalt gate]

Make sure 2ndary gun are the specific guns to kill ramming and suicide

[cobalt rapids]

and check /campaign

[slender turtle]

Gotcha, i can throw anchorage in there rn, sandy is needed in the mob with z52 and scylla? Thought they would be enough aa on theyre own

But i can do that

[cobalt rapids]

no sandy is just a good gunship with good durability

her god aa is not relevant here

[slender turtle]

Copy that, would independence be needed at all for my fleets? I just heard shes a good ship for late game campaign

[cobalt rapids]

not with ur fleets

[woven star]

SanD still is a good dps dealer with her aoa dmg. Depends what ppl have but she can be relevant dmg dealer with aug.

[slender turtle]

And i saw you wanted me to swap kazagumo out of the boss fleet, but for who

[cobalt rapids]

boss aegir ibuki anchorage
mob z52 scylla sandy

[lusty dirge]

I'm trying to get through this world and I'm thinking the rainbow guns on these two ships ain't doing it any advice that I'm anything I might be doing wrong please help thank you very much.

[slender turtle]

Is it fair to assume using watarase over ibuki in boss would be awful? Just a watarase enjoyer trying to make use of her lol

[viscid swift]

well there's a whole host of gearing issues just on those 2

[cobalt rapids]

yea ur gear is cursed and im not talking about only the gun on aegir

[woven star]

Is Hinder can have 2 CA guns? That is common build

[viscid swift]

not least of which you're actively using Hindenburg in her weakest form

your fleet comps are also pretty shit

[atomic abyss]

hindy can run double CA guns at d30

[lusty dirge]

Well you going to stick your opinion where the sun don't shine.

[viscid swift]

never a good sign when I can't tell which is the mob fleet and which is the boss fleet

[lusty dirge]

Alrighty then you can go f*** yourself then have a good day.

[cobalt rapids]

not awful its fine

[viscid swift]

well, there's a first for everything lamo

[atomic abyss]

Look, you're the one asking for advice on what you're doing wrong
And the advice was that the comps are shit, and by extension need improvement

Not sure why you're being such an asshole about it

[viscid swift]

I wasn't rude on purpose, the point I was trying to convey was that this wasnt a simple case of you need to change a piece of gear or 2

[split gazelle]

guys he left the discord already

[viscid swift]

most of the gear can and should be changed for something better that you should already have, same goes for the ships

[atomic abyss]

who wants to bet he came from reddit

the last time he asked a question here

it was in march

and he was asking about... 14-3

[tame jungle]

that was quite the crashout

[atomic abyss]

im seeing a pattern

[slender turtle]

Is the gear I should use pretty standard, or are there some special things i need?

[cobalt rapids]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-detailed there gearing tips here for what isnt usual and u can also check the sample fleets in https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief

[slender turtle]

Oh sheesh gotcha, ty for the help

[steady rain]

are azur lane events pts milestones supposed to take a lot of time to clear? highest i can clear is HT2 and it takes ~5mins per sortie for 120pts and i need 55k

[viscid swift]

I means depends on how much you grind per day and where you grind but they're not quick no

[steady rain]

well i havent missed any event dailies except build 3 ships, but i tend to grind most points on the last days before event ends

[atomic abyss]

AL has always rewarded consistent gameplay as opposed to rushing

but yes, they arent quick

[wary skiff]

When’s the next UR event and does someone have the theory list for runs this yr?

[atomic abyss]

CN anni is most likely the next UR event given past years

stream announcing details is on the 16th

so we can assume the week after that will be the event

[slender turtle]

Sorry last thing, is there another option way for me on those example fleets to see the names of the equipment so i can see how to get them? Not really knowledgeable enough to do it via image only

[cobalt rapids]

uh sadly no

u can snip and ask here tho

[soft raft]

If you meant reruns:

[slender turtle]

It was these 3 i didnt know, and if i dont have the ur bb/cl guns suggested, should i just use mk6s and such

And how important are the feathers, cause i can’t really afford to buy 2 feathers and the action report lol

[atomic abyss]

rainbow is the spearfish, it's a wyvern alternative. lacking either, you can use the gold breguets
gold gun is the proto twin 410 aka daisen gun from PR7. you can use the purple twin 410 kai from gear lab instead
gold plane is the fairey garnet asw plane from gear lab

[fierce lantern]

Can you use Napoli for w15

[atomic abyss]

of course you can and she will be very good, but it may not be the most optimal choice

plane and torp heavy w15 doesnt favour heavy armour tanks like napoli and agir

[fierce lantern]

Shoooot alright

[atomic abyss]

for w15, stuff like guam, laffey 2, z52, anchorage, brest are preferred

[fierce lantern]

Speaking of Laffey II I heard that eldrich can be used as an alternative if you don’t have Laffey

[atomic abyss]

well she doesnt fulfil the role of a traditional tank

rather she makes the whole frontline much tankier

[slender turtle]

Ah okay cool, i have a wyvern i can use there, as for the feathers and action report, how necessary are they? And for the anti torp aux that are suggested for your tanks, what should i do instead if my mob tank is a dd like z52?

[cobalt rapids]

not that important

z52 uses toolkit + another hp aux

[atomic abyss]

neither are important
for z52, depends
if main tank, 2 HP aux
if off tank, she could carry the hedgehog instead

[slender turtle]

Gotcha! Ty for the info, might just buy 1 feather for now to throw on a mob cv

[cobalt rapids]

nah i wouldnt

[fierce lantern]

i have one oath ring which one do i oath

[cobalt rapids]

if lacking the ur bb gun then use champy gun and u shouldnt be lacking 155kai and if yes then craft 2 in gearlab

[tame jungle]

whoever you like most

[little tree]

Do spearfish intercept

[soft raft]

whoever is the most waifu to you
tatical oathing is a complete myth for F2P

[cobalt rapids]

they dont

[atomic abyss]

they do not

they have additional rockets on top of their usual torps

[little tree]

Trading intercept for more dmg

[slender turtle]

Which one is champy gun again? And ye i have like 6 of the 155 kai, so I’ll just slap on those for the bbs and cls

[slender turtle]

Ah okay i have 1 of those guns

[cobalt rapids]

well in ur case neither cl ( scylla or sandy ) takes 155kai
watarase can take it

[slender turtle]

Gotcha, for the ca/cb ur guns i dont have, will the sr alternatives be good enough?

[cobalt rapids]

if you mean these 2 then yes

[slender turtle]

Dope ty

[fierce lantern]

whats the difference between ap and sap

[ivory pawn]

The Armor Mods, usually.

You can see in this case AP has way better Armor Mod vs Heavy for example, while SAP is better vs Light/Med.

[cobalt rapids]

just dont look only at mods when deciding

[fierce lantern]

Okay ty

[little plinth]

if I run aquila in my opsi mob is it preferable to have her with a fighter for the heal or a dive bomber for the preload?

my other two are unicorn/perseus, so maybe that's enough healing already? lol

[slow fox]

If you want more healing, you can do all that AND have Brest and Lil Belfast in your fleet.

[sterile jolt]

too much healing. strongholds bosses gonna explode your fleet, as i remember correctly

but for real, you dont need so much heal, just do more damage -_-

[little plinth]

I do remember seeing a diagram that said unicorn + aquila + one, maybe it was fdg? I can drop perseus for aquila with a fighter

[sterile jolt]

you can drop percy for ever if you have uni and aquila alr. you can put independence if 3rd slot if you want

[little plinth]

yeah I finally finished building aquila, actually only randomly pulled her recently surprisingly lol

[sterile jolt]

well, if it works its ok

[dreamy blade]

probably musashi not fdg, that is a pretty standard w15 mob fleet

[little plinth]

ah I have her in another fleet for cross but I can always move her and replace her with someone else

[dreamy blade]

nah if it's opsi thats overkill, i would go with indep

[limpid dock]

since im getting close to the ur exchange, whats the best pick. i only have nj from before the exchange

[viscid swift]

Shinano or Vanguard depending on what you have

[sweet delta]

[grave cove]

Just got to opsi, is there a guide on general progression?

[worldly pewter]

clear the story first
there are in the information tab

main and sub missions and sometimes u have to clear a certain amount of zones in a specific mentioned area to continue getting the main missions

[fierce lantern]

should i focus plymouth or brest

[stark quiver]

if you already have preexisting tanks, then ply

can get brest to d25 passively while focusing ply

[atomic abyss]

Plymouth without question

[pseudo hearth]

Mogami is better after her modernization correct? I figured so, but I wanted to make sure.

Ok, cool. I just wanted to make sure this wasn’t a case like the Ise-Class or Fusou-Class

[forest palm]

Ise and Hyuuga are fine to modernize, they just suck if you don't retro them all at once, Fusou and Yamashiro however do suffer greatly from Modernization, but you can take the nodes leading up to

[pseudo hearth]

I already know that. Additionally, I mean, I still like use Hyuuga Kai myself every once in a while, but even with the Ise-Class, there’s very few situations where you’d use them over most other BBs.

[forest palm]

considering they're not SSR or UR and perform nowhere near that level that much is a given

just low end BBs that are decent for low end content

[pseudo hearth]

I wasn’t even referring to that. I’d argue you’d use most Elite BBs over them. And even a lot of Rares.

[polar lion]

Why is our monthly URin income is 1.5+0.5 again?

[forest palm]

Medal Shop give 1k that doesn't count for the monthly cap

[eternal moth]

Has there been any information yet on next event?

[viscid swift]

nope

[forest palm]

probably gonna be nothing till stream

[polar lion]

Ah okay2 thanks

[quartz trench]

What's the best UR gear to build first in the gear lab?

[forest palm]

Wyvern

[quartz trench]

Why is it so good?

[forest palm]

a solid improvement for your mob fleet especially in later campaign

[quartz trench]

How about boss fleets? What UR gear should I craft?

[zenith heron]

may I know why Fusou and Yamashiro suffer from Modernization that probably nerfs them?

[wind hazel]

because

[zenith heron]

nvm, mb, basically a mode change

[sinful escarp]

deym that mgm reduction

[quartz trench]

What gear should I craft for my boss fleet?

[last zenith]

depends what shipgirls u have and what u can craft

[sweet delta]

From gear lab, there's Ju87d, bf109g, ryuusei, saiun, tenrai, iris 406 /50, and stuff

[quartz trench]

I have NJ, Bismarck Zwei, Alsace, and Soyuz as my main UR BBs. Then I have Haku, Shinano, and Implacable as my UR CVs.

[last zenith]

ok..... what u can craft and stuff

[quartz trench]

I have enough for one UR gear. A lot of gold crafting material.

[last zenith]

a image would be better

[wind hazel]

what's the tech priority for DD after FP

[stark quiver]

probably hit or reload, idk abt trp since uhh

[last zenith]

No.... what u can atually craft

[stark quiver]

#gameplay-help message
you gotta be more specific with that you are doing with the boss fleet

[wind hazel]

rld it is

[quartz trench]

I need either some bombers, BB guns, or TBs.

[stark quiver]

for what boss tho, that could help narrow down your options, bc just craft gear is pretty broad

[quartz trench]

Just give me some suggestions. I have enough resources for any gold gear and most UR gear.

[last zenith]

any gold gear...

[quartz trench]

Medium/heavy armor ship.

[sweet delta]

From gear lab, there's Ju87d, bf109g, ryuusei, saiun, tenrai, iris 406 /50, and stuff

[wind hazel]

sir can you repeat that, i didn't quite hear

[last zenith]

bf109 is good... ummm gear lab.... theres not much bad options

[sweet delta]

There are many bad options in gear lab

[quartz trench]

I have 4-5 copies of the mentioned gears.

[stark quiver]

cool then you dont need to craft

[last zenith]

depends...

[sweet delta]

Then you're set

[quartz trench]

I stopped playing like 9 months ago so just wanted to see if anything changed.

[wind hazel]

new UR AA

[quartz trench]

What PR 7 ship should I get?

[stark quiver]

pretty standard loadouts for cvs

no need to craft any unnecessary gear

[stoic pewter]

admiral

[forest palm]

I take 1 DD with TRP then 1 DD with Hit or RLD

[viscid swift]

I personally went trp first, working on reload now, and after that hit

[forest palm]

for vanguard purposes I always take 1 CL/CA + 2x DD

eventually Hit and RLD will run dry for DD then all that is left is TRP

[viscid swift]

I just concentrated on doing one type of one full before moving onto the next

[wind hazel]

btw what's the max gap between soyuz and nakh before the freeze stop working?

[atomic abyss]

Depends which way you're going
Nakhi procs the freeze 1.5s after her airstrike
So Soyuz slow needs to be active during that period

Her barrage slow is 6s

[wind hazel]

what's the duration of flight for 2 la9 and 1 saiun

[atomic abyss]

That answer is out of my wheelhouse 🏃‍♂️

[wind hazel]

@sweet delta do you have the mafs

[sweet delta]

Depends on the distance but maybe about 3.5s for saiun

[quartz trench]

Are gold helldivers worth it or nah?

[wind hazel]

no

[atomic abyss]

Too expensive for the very small upgrade

[sweet delta]

They're worthless for someone with 4-5 tenrais

[atomic abyss]

Ryuuseis are not dive bombers, they're torpedo bombers

There's no such thing as purple tenrais either

[quartz trench]

Oops, meant the tenzans

[atomic abyss]

Tenzans are also torpedo bombers
They are inferior to the ryuuseis

In fact they're used to craft ryuuseis

Tenrais are dive bombers
They use a different gear slot

[sweet delta]

Ryuusei is to tenzan kai as xsb3c is to sb2c helldiver. Except that ryuusei is very much worth +13 while xsb3c is not even worth crafting

[quartz trench]

I have 3 UR Tenrais. Should I get one more?

[atomic abyss]

I would save the mats for something else
Like a wyvern if you don't already have 3

[quartz trench]

I have only 1. Should I craft more?

[wind hazel]

2 or 3 is nice number to have of everything

[eager mulch]

3 amagi-chan

[wind hazel]

too powerful, world would end

[sharp pine]

Is this a decent QETA fight fleet?

[wind hazel]

uh, no

[soft raft]

Why Ark Royal META

cuz her slow is complete shit compared to her regular counterpart (on the right)

[wind hazel]

it's for the knights, but AR is still not the option for that part

[sharp pine]

Because in my limited experience with qeta, her barrage instantly shreds her knights.

[soft raft]

oh true
yeah SoryuuM would've been the top pick for that instead of ARM

[wind hazel]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Uz0UvQHsVUrlNz08Pc1IN04oABfMeiXTngfM8XJzRXo/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.fs96e9i6mxn2

you can check this and see which option is available to you

it also has insane wikipedia mechanic and strat written there

[viscid swift]

puttsing aside some of the really questionable gearing choices

I doubt you'll get particularly consistent results out of that

[sharp socket]

you may probably be able to 2 shot it

[viscid swift]

also Amagi's damage is being gimped, hard

[sharp socket]

but id switch out ark meta for like avp

[viscid swift]

like 0/3 for the planes equipped in the slots you have them in

[sharp socket]

oh man i didnt look at the gearing, yep thats not good

[viscid swift]

nah actually, it would be too hard of a damage fall off

[sharp socket]

if you're going to use CV need to use converging planes for it

[atomic abyss]

BearnM not SourM now

Cos BearnM naturally syncs with when QEM's knights spawn

But even then

The best for QEM is now WichitaM anyways

[soft raft]

Ah

[viscid swift]

yep

[soft raft]

wouldnt WitchitaM be too squishy or is the vanguard pressure low enough for her to live

[atomic abyss]

Only issue with WichitaM is you basically need Eldridge retro to keep her alive...

[viscid swift]

I'd still argue Helmet is more consistent but it needs incredibly high investment

[atomic abyss]

Helmet needs high CL FP tech and plygun

Twin 134 too
I believe fumo too?

[viscid swift]

pretty much the works

including +13 Mogador gun

[sharp socket]

i managed to 2 shot QEM without reading her mechanics so i think itd be doable as long as he gears properly

[atomic abyss]

I don't think that's possible unless you were already using a meta ship to begin with

Cos the knights basically take no damage and tank everything otherwise

[sharp socket]

think i was using alsace soyuz vanny agir helena ply

[sharp pine]

Hey guys, how about you actually tell me what changes I should make instead of waxing philosophically about how bad I am. Cause I looked over the tier lists for the girls I'm using and timed the best I could with the gear I have.

[viscid swift]

what tier list, and what do you have to work with

[sharp pine]

Saying "questionable gear choices" doesn't help.

[viscid swift]

I could give you a dozen suggestions but all of them would be pointless if you can't implement any of them

[viscid swift]

we're establishing the broad outlines of what needs fixing
we need more info from you like your dock to go about the how

[sharp socket]

just send us your dock and we go from there

[viscid swift]

also by tier list I assume you mean ECTL

which bearing in mind ECTL weights their gear reccs towards campaign, they're not necessarily going to be the best for a single target boss fight like a META showdown

[sharp pine]

Yes, I'm using the en community list. Here's my carriers and metas.

[sharp socket]

shinano amagi implacable tank kazagumo helena/sirius

[atomic abyss]

HelenaM will likely be the meta of choice

[viscid swift]

this is QE META cel

[sharp socket]

it would still work probably because its a good fleet

[atomic abyss]

No cel

It fucking won't

[sharp socket]

ok ill go test it myself then

[viscid swift]

but yeah, Shinano, Amagi, Implacable, Implacable, Eldridge retro, Kazagumo, Helmet would be preferable

[atomic abyss]

The knights straight up take 1 dmg from non meta ships per hit and soak up all the hits

Most of your TBs ain't hitting shit

[sharp socket]

i could work it with BBs and get a 2 shot and CVs are better so why wouldn't it

[atomic abyss]

BB targeting priority...
They hit QEM directly

[loud rover]

I’m a returning player and my build exchange is available. Should I get Kron or finish mlb on someone?

[viscid swift]

finish Vanguard instead

[atomic abyss]

TBs would just run into the knights since they travel straight

[atomic abyss]

This is what I would recommend too

[sharp pine]

No backline meta? I've tried using helmeta in the past, but she took a while to kill the knights. Using someone like arkmeta's barrage shreded them. Is it that big of an improvement using a frontline meta?

[viscid swift]

how did you build her

[atomic abyss]

The issue with using arkM is that you lose backline damage from using her instead

[viscid swift]

not necessarily

QE takes increased damage from METAs after beating the knights

like when we were testing QE META against herself

it inflated her damage numbers to look like that of a UR BB

[atomic abyss]

Anyways you have bearnM

Who is just flat out better for QEM anyways

Cos thanks to her reduced cool down airstrike
She literally sends her airstrike out just after the knight spawns with the right gear pick

[viscid swift]

anyway, what gear have you got to work with?

[sharp pine]

If I recall correctly, out was something like this. Don't remember the auxs.

[atomic abyss]

And when I say right gear pick, I mean very basic gear choices

[viscid swift]

yeah...

[atomic abyss]

Yeah that would explain a lot

[viscid swift]

can you just SS what UR gear you have

also for the record, your basic Kazagumo build should look like that

pretty easy to put together

[sweet delta]

Helmet requires at least the rainbow CL gun for pierce

[sharp pine]

Here's my ur gear.

[viscid swift]

also might wanna set your CV reload tech to 0 to give Helmet more time to kill the knights

[sweet delta]

IDK about an HE helmet

Why not use bearn, it'll still be two shot

[viscid swift]

iffy about it as well but no Plymouth gun in sight

I aim to be ambitous

[sweet delta]

And was Ark royal working?

[viscid swift]

with that gear set up? highly doubtful

[sharp pine]

I remember her barrage(and her airstrike) did kill all the knights, which is the only reason I brought her.

[sweet delta]

Or we cook harder. Shinano haku amagi Eldridge helmet kirovm

[viscid swift]

that woukd indeed be cooking harder

something more conservative would be that

[sweet delta]

Ark too slow

Maybe 2s faster per strike

Does the meta chronicle say?

[honest sequoia]

Do I need this if I have barracuda

[sweet delta]

Its often better than barracuda and worse than breguet, wyvern, spearfish

[viscid swift]

just gave it a quick read and nothing that I can see

[sweet delta]

Sourm barrage instakils knights so she can strike 2s early on the second strike . I don't trust ark so let her strike 4s earlier on the second strike

Actually just use sourm

[viscid swift]

not sure if that's feasible with minimal relaod tech

so something like that

[sharp pine]

So I have a question about your suggestions you've been providing(which I am thankful for). I don't have a ton of UR gear, but I do have two wyverns(1 +13, 1 +10). Should I be incorporating those?

[viscid swift]

no

if you can actually land them converging torpedo bombers will do more damage than a wyvern for single target

Wyverns main uses are campaign when you often have muliple enemies on screeen

[sharp pine]

Gotcha

[little tree]

I just got albacore who would she replace

[sterile jolt]

Probably no one

[boreal lava]

Does this game have pity carry over or not?

[ivory pawn]

Perma pity is, well, permanent.

Is also affected by any and all non-UR banners, so you'll slowly build it up.

Said UR banners have their own pity, and those are the ones that don't carry over.

[boreal lava]

Ok so i can pity my waifu new Jersey

[ivory pawn]

Indeed you can. Would recommend not rushing it and just doing your daily build. Maybe a little extra on events like the current one if you have a ton of cubes.

[bleak mica]

still need to get UR bulins anyway, so no rush.

[bleak mica]

if you could get Cavalla, her + Albacore + Archerfish can make a USS submarine team.

[tranquil dagger]

Are any of my girls worth swapping into my fleets as it is? Currently sitting on W10 (I'm probably able to get into W11 after event ends)

[soft raft]

not particuarlly

[viscid swift]

focus on getting to W12 first

[stark quiver]

cavalla not worth

[forest palm]

if you don't wanna cope for 81, you can just run Archer + Alb + LdV

[stark quiver]

why not maggiore

[forest palm]

didn't see

[steep sleet]

Hi guys,I am a newbie.this is my current fleet ,it has trouble clearing main story 4-3 and event t2 ,any kind of help would be appreciated

[wind hazel]

limit break helena, show their gear

[sweet delta]

he said show gear, not show lack of gear

[wind hazel]

[steep sleet]

[blissful galleon]

How is my fleet?

[sweet delta]

Craft all T1 and T2 tech packs up to T3, open all of them, put gear on ships

[blissful galleon]

Also should you play war archives?

[hollow gust]

Extremly mid , but it should clear early game

[blissful galleon]

Care to elaborate?

[steep sleet]

I don't have suitable gears for the empty slots , unfortunately.

[hollow gust]

Z16 and Strasser aren't good ships , brunhilde is more suited to single target anti light

[viscid swift]

not to mention Strasser and Henrich aren't MLB

and how that's a lot of gold bullins that could have been used on better ships

[wind hazel]

anything else you can't fulfil just use whatever blue gear you can fit

[hollow gust]

Heinrich and blucher are at least decent ships, even then you can do better from medals

[steep sleet]

Okey,Is there any way to buy more gear or get them from battle?

[wind hazel]

event shop sells T4 techbox, you might want some. don't buy from regular shop, too pricey

you'll naturally get more techbox as you grind

[blissful galleon]

MLB?

[viscid swift]

max limit broken

[blissful galleon]

Ah ok

Honestly I just went with iron blood ships I thought looked cool

[steep sleet]

Okey, thanks for the help.

[blissful galleon]

I’m unlocking roon pretty soon too

[wind hazel]

you know what's cooler than iron blood? mixed blood

[stark quiver]

ships dying = cool

[slow fox]

What

[wind hazel]

im heading to al-general to be strong, bye

[wary shoal]

What’s are some good fleets for Hornet Meta?

[cerulean field]

How do you get T3 cruiser retrofit blueprints?

[zenith heron]

Hard Mode via Campaign

[viscid swift]

x-3 hard mode stages from chapter 3 and higher

[hollow gust]

deleted

[viscid swift]

suchi's comment should be somewhere here

[zenith heron]

ones best against Medium, one such example is Soyuz to Nakhimov and Fritz...

[stark quiver]

#gameplay-help message
stack a lot of la9 and helena if you cant one shot

[cerulean field]

do you get gems for beating hard stages?

[blissful galleon]

Get or no?

[atomic abyss]

What's the other hull option you have?

[viscid swift]

No

[sterile jolt]

No

[stark quiver]

SS

[atomic abyss]

Then grab sandy yes

[blissful galleon]

I also got the ss since I have no good ss

[stark quiver]

thats fine i guess

[zenith dust]

what should be done with proto type core? I've been hoarding it for a while and idk what to do with it. I was thinking of getting Quadruple 152mm prints since it seems like the most useful gear

[viscid swift]

Well getting gear prints

Depending on what you have 2 champagne guns and a flandre gun would take priority then the Tenrai

[sinful escarp]

after getting the UR prints do that

[zenith dust]

I have 3 champagne guns

which one is the flandre gun?

[viscid swift]

if you have 3 then Flandre gun will be surplus

get enough for your next Tenrai if you don' have 2 already

[zenith dust]

I don't even have one

[fickle hollow]

will this work against med armor?

[atomic abyss]

AvP needs to be faster ideally

Ideally in the middle

But it'll work yes

[exotic wren]

New UR is next right? Who's next in rerun

[wind hazel]

biszwei

[exotic wren]

Thankies

[compact helm]

are there doc/guides for opsi medium/heavy/light boss fleet setups?

[cobalt rapids]

not rly

[compact helm]

oof

[cobalt rapids]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleetbuilding#opsi_fleet_comps theres this ig

[compact helm]

thanks!

[sweet delta]

theres gear for each armor type for this one fleet #gameplay-help message

[compact helm]

thanks

[quartz trench]

I already have her. Oof.

Is it worth it to pull at all for the next draw if I have Bismarck Zwei?

[normal cedar]

which one do I choose, all of them are good ones...

[cobalt rapids]

theres gonna be free pulls on reruns

[honest sequoia]

personally id choose Q

[normal cedar]

but Q wont give blueprints right? also the gear prints from it will be rng?

[honest sequoia]

no Q doesnt give ship prints but gives more PR gears based on rarity

[normal cedar]

ohh I see
so ig ill get ply gun prints from it for focus 5

thanks

[worn quest]

should i mlb raffaello, ykii, or shinano first?

[normal cedar]

So today is the last day of insta skill and I'm conflicted whether to level up colorado's second skill or anchorage's second skill
both are at level 1, colorado is my mob bb

[paper agate]

To use this skill I have to have a gun turret that has odd amount of barrels right?

[plain saffron]

No

That skill means

1st shot,2nd shot etc

So after 1st shot, get odd numbered buff, 2nd shot get even numbered biff, 3rd shot, odd buff again

Salvo is each time you click the BB fire button

[eternal basalt]

No one, wait for CN anni

[bright tusk]

Is 76mm rf mk37 better than 57mm bofors?

[wind hazel]

overall yes

[hallow mountain]

Is there any way to salvage Foch? She's really pretty and one of the best designed girls in the game why does she have to be so bad

[wind hazel]

Foch: What am I good for?
Mori: You are +1 TRP for Unzen.
Foch: 😭

[hallow mountain]

Hell even Kashino has somewhat of a use even though she's still bad.
What the hell did they cook with Foch

[tender lotus]

I hope they give us impero for free
I already got Albion but not impero only her i didn't have for +1 Avi

[normal cedar]

can someone please explain damage scaling with firepower for bb? the formula in the wiki is too convoluted
how much of a difference in damage does +1 bb fp make?

[tender lotus]

I just unga bunga boom mission complete

The fp difference isn't that much so dmg difference is not that much either

[normal cedar]

surely those who chase 120 tech must know exactly how much of a difference it must be making, right...?
else why even chase 120 tech...

[tender lotus]

At least for me i do it bcs it'll increase my dmg output in any content
But honestly idk how much difference the dmg before and after the change
Maybe u can try using a calculator

[cobalt rapids]

10 fp is about 1% more dmg on the usuall top gold/ur bbs

[normal cedar]

I see, thanks a lot! So all 96 tech must give you nearly 10% dmg increase, that's quite a lot

[cobalt rapids]

yep max tech is quite strong

[normal cedar]

is it the same for avi/cv too? 10 avi ≈ 1% dmg?

[cobalt rapids]

yea

thats because top bbs and cvs hover around ~1k avi/fp post gear and stuff
lower bases such as vanguards will see a lil more % increase

[atomic abyss]

...nothing really
She's just a typical, non US low rarity CA

I think it's important to understand

[dreamy blade]

kashino is also 1 of only 4 munition ships...there are plenty of bad ships that dont see use

[atomic abyss]

That after year 1 or maybe year 2
They stopped giving a shit about anything below gold rarity

Pretty much all the decent purples are either retrofits, or were already decent to begin with

[dreamy blade]

at least foch is an elite so you can cope for retrofit+unique aug to save her

[atomic abyss]

In the case of purple and below CAs in particular

If they were not US they were almost certainly shit

Because pretty much only the US ones had the mgm2 to make use of their high FP

[polar lion]

I rmb I use Mog back in the day

[atomic abyss]

Mog is an exception cos her retrofit gets her mgm2

[cobalt rapids]

yk ure a a zoomer when mog is a ur dd to u

[atomic abyss]

To be clear
Mog as in mogami
Not Mogador

[crimson glacier]

im a zoomer

[atomic abyss]

Don't count on it
At least not for a very very very long time

Even the selector tickets they give for certain events usually only have super old ships

Impero got perma added like, this year?

[polar lion]

When do we get wishing well again?

[cobalt rapids]

cn anni

[polar lion]

Only dat? No wonder it feels very rare

[atomic abyss]

We got one with CN and EN anni last year iirc

[bright tusk]

for z52, is single 113mm have better dps than 100mm kai?

[atomic abyss]

Yes
Also makes her tankier

[bright tusk]

how it make her more tankier?

[crimson glacier]

she heals from her stacks

[normal cedar]

should I spend 60k to dev 30 anchorage? she's dev 28 now

[crimson glacier]

id rather just wait couple more days

[tame jungle]

just do it over the next couple of days bruh

[normal cedar]

oh ok, i thought maybe she would do worse before dev 30 so
thx

[crimson glacier]

the next event should be near, should just save gold

[tame jungle]

it's just a big waste of coin

[wind hazel]

dev30 anchorage is slightly more damage, and access to fleet tech, that's it

[quick mason]

Any cancellation retirement?

None?

[atomic abyss]

What even is cancellation retirement

[tame jungle]

they dug up Pola's old tweets or something idk

but the answer is keep the ships that have good lv120 tech and/or that are hard to reacquire (probably)

[normal cedar]

what are the usable guns from these? I barely have any cruiser guns..

[tame jungle]

(or 💳, buy dock space then eliminate the problem )

[tame jungle]

equipment guide on ecgc should help you with this give me a sec

[normal cedar]

I am looking at that, but I don't have a single gun from there

[tame jungle]

are you looking at the right image

[normal cedar]

this right?

[tame jungle]

that's ectl

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

[split gazelle]

you have this one, but yes check that link ^

[tame jungle]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/fleetsandgear/goldgear also this might be helpful

[normal cedar]

Ohh yes, thanks got it!
Also ectl seems to suggest some strange torpedoes for anchorage when compared to other ca, what's up with that?

[tame jungle]

the purple triples?

[normal cedar]

yea

[tame jungle]

that's because anchorage procs skill on torp launch

[split gazelle]

if you hover over it, it explains what/why its picked

[normal cedar]

ohh I see, is it worth crafting in gear lab if I don't have it? I only have the transitional ones

[tame jungle]

it's cheap as hell so sure

can also just give her quadmags

[normal cedar]

ok, thanks!

[split gazelle]

for purples it probably doesnt matter but crafting gold stuff has priorities

[tame jungle]

for most intents and purposes for you i don't think getting one of the faster torps matters right now, but personally i just crafted it bc it's cheap as hell and it saves me the hassle of having to swap torps back and forth

[warped acorn]

this good?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[tame jungle]

arguably one of the best options until you get to the gear lab

[warped acorn]

alr

[woven star]

probably better use twin 550 blue torp for Ancho. which not mention

[normal cedar]

I don't have any bp for it yet..
it will take me quite some time to get enough bp to equip both scylla and anchorage with it so ill just craft 1 550 triple and use it for now ig

[warped acorn]

does the equipment opsi dmg boost share between ships?

[wind hazel]

baltimore and gangut aug

[tame jungle]

oh shit for tomorrow?

[forest palm]

mhm

https://azurlane.jp/news/686

[wind hazel]

baka gaijin

[tame jungle]

hopefully a reason for me to use balti again

[forest palm]

listen I don't have that skill issue

[tame jungle]

seems like hassat will lose a topic of conversation

[normal cedar]

which one is better? I can craft su-2

[atomic abyss]

Helldiver

[tame jungle]

helldiver

[normal cedar]

oh ok, thanks! I wont craft it then

[left cedar]

gangut aug ... finally putting her gun aside ?¹ is a dream ?

[atomic abyss]

Unfortunately isn't her tech still ass

[forest palm]

the opposite

you're probably thinking of Dunkerque

Gangut give + FP

[whole crypt]

just use what you want

[simple dove]

do i wanna get these or what

[simple dove]

helena successfully refit, what now

[forest palm]

Quad 152 and Tenrai are good to have, 457 for mobbing can be good but not absolutely needed, UR Triple 203 SKC and Triple 234 are very optional

[compact helm]

is there a way to switch arbiter practice diff to normal?

[forest palm]

don't think so

[simple dove]

would i want any other gear here or only the rainbows

[forest palm]

[simple dove]

these bundles of fun

[forest palm]

3 of the Triple 406/50s from PR3 are a higher priority, maybe a BF 109G or 2 from PR4

[honest sequoia]

whats a wishing well from cn anni

[tame jungle]

it's a wishing well event, you pick a perma pool, select 2 ships from that pool and they go on rate up

[late flame]

ww is also a trap

[normal cedar]

is there any ship worth getting that way? from gameplay pov ofc

[tame jungle]

yes

[forest palm]

a few really, outside of that it's a way for collectors to get ships they can't seem to get

[plain saffron]

assuming you have spare cubes, yes

[tame jungle]

below 400 cubes = you die irl

[late flame]

ww is only worth the trouble if you got UR first pull in event banner lol

[normal cedar]

i see, one can only hope

[forest palm]

to note WW only lets you choose from ships that are permanently available however there is a cut off to this

usually something like ships added within 2 or 4 months prior aren't available or something like that

[simple dove]

where could i possibly fit helena

[cobalt rapids]

what for

[simple dove]

y know what honestly i haave no idea

[late flame]

then dun ask maybe

[tame jungle]

come on man

[forest palm]

fleets lookin kind of messy with no clear purpose

[simple dove]

affirmative, thats why im asking for assistance

[forest palm]

it all depends on context so

• What you're currently trying to accomplish
• What you have in your dock
• What gear you have

[hardy creek]

Is this the last dorm expansion I have to do or there's more?

[tacit star]

Is it normal if akashi send me stuff in the mail?

wait wtf I never knew about akashi gifting you so much stuff

[sterile jolt]

You don't need helena in campaign stages at all

[simple dove]

gotcha

[tacit star]

Ohhh thanks

[tacit star]

You gotta do some uhhh p2w

[normal cedar]

it says tapping her works though in wiki

[forest palm]

yup

[little tree]

Akashi is a theif

[honest sequoia]

is janus worth raising for mobbing

[tacit star]

How module system work in this game ;-;

[normal cedar]

you mean augment module?

[tacit star]

Yep

[late flame]

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

[split gazelle]

gems?

[plain saffron]

mandatory update

[late flame]

ah mandatory update.. i was wondering why it needed 8 hours

[sterile jolt]

For mobbing, kinda decent not good, not bad. For bossing... Same, not good and not bad. So just if you dont have smth better

[paper agate]

I see, thank you

[zinc hornet]

does this only include faction tech bonuses and not shop collection/120 bonuses?

ship* not shop

[hollow gust]

It includes both

[zinc hornet]

oh i just realised why i thought it only showed faction. just realised sakura doesn't give cv rld so i was expecting 12 instead of 9

[cobalt rapids]

kms doesnt give cv rld either its 7 from uss and 7 from hms at max

[dreamy blade]

wait arent all updates mandatory

[normal cedar]

is anchorage(tank) scylla(safe) saint louis(off tank) a balanced decent mob team? I was thinking of replacing cleveland and phoenix

[dreamy blade]

it is definitely better than cleveland and phoenix

though anchorage might be more useful as your boss tank once shes leveled

[little tree]

Update from app store mabey

[normal cedar]

ok, thanks!

[plain saffron]

play store update

usually needs to redownload a fuckton of assets

[dreamy blade]

interesting, well i'll have 400 dock space with those gems

[undone heath]

Could Rumey be someone other than Nakhimov's servant?

@dreamy blade I fixed

[hollow gust]

??

[fierce lantern]

Should I change anything about this w14 fleet

[hollow gust]

No Aquila or Volga?

[fierce lantern]

No

[undone heath]

Can she played in another fleets?

[hollow gust]

She is bis in any medium or light CV fleet

Far easier to use the Nahkimov

[hollow gust]

Well pick another Cv instead of Perseus then. If need be you can bring your shinano over to mob fleet and run a nakimov in boss.
Also z52 is main tank

[fierce lantern]

Is my vanguard fine?

[hollow gust]

It's not preferable but not like you have better options , it works

[dreamy blade]

sirius is a bit underleveled

[hollow gust]

You can always use shimakaze or yuudach instead of Sirius though

[dreamy blade]

not sure if you'll have ASW issues in 14-3 and 14-4 without a DD

[hollow gust]

Huh?

Why would you need asw in boss fleet

[dreamy blade]

oh thats boss fleet

your shinano is missing a 3rd IJN ship

[hollow gust]

She doesn't require it , it's fine

[cobalt rapids]

musashi unicorn nahki - vanguard is fine as is
backline is fine - replace sirius with shimanto

[fierce lantern]

What armor type is abundant in w14

[cobalt rapids]

heavy is highest threat

[fierce lantern]

So I’d use HE? Right

[cobalt rapids]

use twin 457 on soy and twin 410 purple or daisen gun on musashi

also ~20% dmg on shinano is big not even mentioning the 20% DR for shells which is important in w14, no reason to not activate her when u have good activators

[stable breach]

hi just started playing, should I work on 3* every stage?

[dreamy blade]

yes it has good rewards

[cobalt rapids]

/campaign also u can check the w14 for some info, gear tips and sample fleets

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Chapter 14 Guide - https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief/
Chapter 15 Guide - https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15

[fierce lantern]

I don’t think I have any of the gear for Soyuz is there anything else I can use

[cobalt rapids]

this for 14-1, 14-2 and 14-3 and use mk7 in 14-3 boss

[dreamy blade]

+10 beehive

[hollow gust]

The MK-1 should be fine too

[fierce lantern]

Is the UR sap gun good by any chance?

[cobalt rapids]

yes best against medium

but not for w14

[fierce lantern]

Alrighty

[stable breach]

should I save my cubes or try pulling on the event banner? I just started so i have very little

[dreamy blade]

save, do 1 pull on the light banner a day

[hollow gust]

UR in 2-3 weeks so save all you can

[fickle hollow]

What is a good damage aux for Z52 which can be obtained now

[left cedar]

iirc have a purple aux SN gear in core shop that gives FP and HP that can be used by DDs

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Intel_Report_-_Arctic_Stronghold#tabber-tabpanel-Type_0-0

this one, and its universal ... but originally its from SN event ...

[normal cedar]

I can farm 300k coins on 12-1 as well right? I was wondering whether to waste oil moving campaign to 12-4...

[cerulean field]

Is doing the heavy ships for a chance for ur better or do i spam light ships for more pity?

[cobalt rapids]

neither just do ur free 1 light pull per day and thats it outside event banners

also light ships dont give u more pity anyway

[hushed sorrel]

also thats just wrong. this the ur pity counts cubes

[cerulean field]

wait what

theres one free pull daily

[left cedar]

pratical its not free, u use ur cube and u get it back in dailly mission

[hardy creek]

Pre world 9, what's the best way for a new player to grind exp for the shipgirls?

[fair lance]

events if it's ongoing

[left cedar]

events its best to focus on farm till u get 55k ...
also pre W9 u avoid to farm max u can ... specially cuz no oil cap and the grind its really a pain, cuz its ALOT of oil in trade almost no rewards

[cerulean field]

Why cant I get 3 stars hard mode? I'm playing it but only the boss is showing up

[left cedar]

btw, W9 and W10 are shit imo as well

[stark quiver]

turn off clearing mode

[little tree]

Best gun in the game

[stoic basalt]

is halford still bugged

mann :(

[weary gust]

Very doubtful she'll ever be fixed because the airstrike code is probably spaghetti and they don't know how to make bomb drop delay variable based on ship without cooking the entire game.

[cobalt rapids]

well she worked fine before the skin released

[stoic basalt]

its quite unfortunate, the concept is good and the ship is quite cool aswell 😭

[viscid swift]

Even before the bug she was quite underwhelming

Which is actually quite accurate

[whole crypt]

at the end of the day it just depends on where/how you're using hte ship

most of the game can be ran on fodder ships

[cobalt rapids]

or manual and hug the left screen with her

[whole crypt]

as it turns out the biggest problem to lowcosting 13-1H is just the stat req

[cobalt rapids]

75 oil per day

[whole crypt]

it's still saving

that's enough for 8 runs of 12-1 across a month

[stark quiver]

Me when I need cruiser bps
Nnt can you try for 13-2h

[cobalt rapids]

true true

[whole crypt]

not when my 13H looks like this

[stark quiver]

[whole crypt]

also my guess is it won't work because you'll fall short for AA

13-1 is easy mode even if you cheap out on AA because boss is a CA

[stark quiver]

My -2h happens to be lethal

[whole crypt]

also my current setup no longer has enough AA, which may be solvable by swapping Musashi with NJ/VG

my honest opinion is don't worry about low costing and use full fleet, just throw in some leveling ships if you want to save

[slender turtle]

Should i bother farming to try and get yuudachi?

[cobalt rapids]

tech/collection

[slender turtle]

Also i just finished felix from pr6, she any good?

[sharp socket]

decent dd tank if you don't have laff2 or eld retro

[fleet sand]

Hello, ermm where do I post my question if I need help? o.o need some opinion on fleet building

[sharp socket]

send your dock here and someone will get to you

[fleet sand]

Owh oki thanks

Looking for opinion on how to build a fleet. Was planning one for fleet and one for boss. Thank you owo

[hardy creek]

Should I get hood's augment?

[fleet sand]

Please DM me as I'm afraid I might miss the chat and afraid of the spamming in this chat room. Thank you ~

[honest sequoia]

Open a 🧵

[fleet sand]

Owh ermm how can I do that? Sorry not familiar with it...

[cobalt rapids]

are you a newbie ? are you still using hood ? can you afford it ?
if yes to all then yes

[wind hazel]

Kazan Volga Unicorn
Portland Helena Laffey

just use this fleet until chapter 10 or 11 ish campaign

[fleet sand]

Aight thank you

[wind hazel]

when you have 5th La9, do you stay for more La9 or get more plygun?

[cobalt rapids]

how many ply

[wind hazel]

4... 5? 😭

4.5ish

[cobalt rapids]

would finish 5th ply gun then

[viscid swift]

How many prints exactly?

You only have about 2 months until pr8 drops

[wind hazel]

18. kinda pointless i guess

4.5 was a lie. 4.3

[cobalt rapids]

i mean depends how far ure from the 5th la9

[normal cedar]

in the opsi shop, which take higher priority: golden reports, golden designs, golden materials?

[weary gust]

Buy out the entire shop.

You should get far more than enough to do so over the course of the month.

[normal cedar]

ok, got it
thanks

[forest palm]

I'd honestly just sit on resources till like end of month then mass buy unless you need something immediately

[sullen birch]

Finally

[forest palm]

#trophy-room ?

[weary gust]

I buy the AP packs and loggers once I clear the exploration, so that I can auto them all at once.

[sullen birch]

Is she good against mobs?

I need vanguard egale Union fleet

[weary gust]

PR/DR CDC you can use whatever for grinding.

[sullen birch]

For anchorage

Ok

Time to change room

[weary gust]

Pick any 6 ships that aren't the purple China ships or Tempestas, book them to 100 and give them decent gear, and they can run 12-4.

[sullen birch]

@weary gust

Is this good enough?

[viscid swift]

You can drop Chang Chun and Hood for ships that need levels easily

As well as Unicorn potentially

[sullen birch]

I'm doing world 12-4

[viscid swift]

I know

[sullen birch]

I need her for healing

[viscid swift]

Don't overestimate how difficult w12 is

[sullen birch]

I meant xp for anchorage

Her research xp

[viscid swift]

Chang Chun is DE and Anchorage needs EU vanguard XP

[sullen birch]

Ok, let me check

[normal cedar]

is it possible to beat this in 3 shots without dr/ur ships? this is the hardest thing under 125 I've encountered in the game so far...

it also gets 50% stats up... and invincible to shelling

[sullen birch]

These what I have

[sullen birch]

@viscid swift these what I have

[grave cove]

New player here. Seeing as it's the last day of the event, whats the general practice for ship pulling?

[normal cedar]

if you dont have many cubes then don't pull on this banner
in two weeks we will have Ultra Rare ship banner, pull then

[grave cove]

I have cubes but lacking on coins.

1. What banners/events are good to pull on vs not?
2. Do you pull all you can on the last day? How many pulls should I try to get?

[vale spindle]

but how many cubes you have is important since UR pity is 400 cubes = 200 pulls

[normal cedar]

1. Ultra Rare Event Banners are the best, followed by Non Ultra-rare event (like current). The bad ones are the permanent "Heavy/Special/Light". Although you should do 1 light pull daily, since you are refunded that 1 cube, thus making it free.

2. You can pull all on last day, if you have the coins but general suggestion is to pull over the course of the event, since it is hard for new players to quickly obtain huge amount of coins. 200 pulls is recommended for Ultra Rare events, since it is the hard pity.

For reference 200 pulls = 400 cubes and 300,000 coins

[grave cove]

Thank you very much for the info. Currently im at 128 cubes with 124/400 on pitty doing 3 pulls per day. I dont have near enough coins though to use them all so I guess ill save for next banner

[eternal basalt]

Next banner is 22th, with UR... lasting 3 weeks

[vale spindle]

the permanent UR pity doesn't count for limited UR pity, they are 2 separate pity systems

[grave cove]

ah

[vale spindle]

and vice versa as well

[normal cedar]

Also what I said is only for new events, for rerun events you will require lesser cubes since you are given 30-40 'Shipbuilding tickets' which do not consume coins or cubes to build ships.
Next expected UR rerun is Bismarck Zwei after the next new UR.

[eternal basalt]

44 rerun tickets for UR reruns actually

[grave cove]

Gotcha thank you guys for all the info. So, whats the best way to get coins? I just got to 9-1 and opsi

Seeing as you say I need 300k for pulls and im lucky rn if i see 20k

[forest palm]

farming 12-4 ~ 13-4 for coin is where most land, you could try 9-4 but you're better off pushing past 9, you could do the event nod HT3 which probably gives more than 9-4 but today is the last day for that...

[grave cove]

Yeah, I figure I cant do much rn, but wanted to know for the future, ty

[fiery swan]

Does anyone know what Balty aug does yet

[cobalt rapids]

the devs

[forest palm]

if you can find someone with a crystal ball

[turbid marsh]

balty?

[cobalt rapids]

baltimore

[turbid marsh]

no i meant balty has an aug?

[cobalt rapids]

[turbid marsh]

ah so we get information in 10 hours. got it

[eternal basalt]

Patchnotes are out, #game-news

[inner idol]

What is the next ur rerun we should get?

[cobalt rapids]

bismarck

[inner idol]

Nice

[left cedar]

sabaton starts to play in background

[eternal basalt]

But first, 2 new UR

[paper walrus]

Is there any kind of pity for elites? If im unlucky how many cubes could it take to get evertsen?

[atomic abyss]

No
Hence you may never get evertsen

[cobalt rapids]

no pity for elites and SRs

[paper walrus]

Thats so bad 😭

I really want her but i also need to save for the UR event

[stark quiver]

Meta standpoint will be to wait
But waifu game so

[cobalt rapids]

i mean by 100 pulls u have like a ~90% chance to get her but ure better off to save yes, shell come back in like 2 years after all

[paper walrus]

So soon 😭😭

[whole crypt]

oh right CN anniv ww I can finally cope for my second Aquila

[eternal basalt]

Wishing well, so that cope may come very true (oh, wait, you might have meant that with ww)

[stark quiver]

Oh right cna I can cope for my first Aquila
Probably gonna be the first pool I pull until I get her

[little tree]

A fellow we have not pulled aqualia so we use volga

[stark quiver]

I use zui

[little tree]

[forest palm]

sitting here with 2 AQL

[little tree]

~~ share ~~

[ionic kraken]

how do you upgrade a meowficers skill?

[forest palm]

leveling a Meowficers skill requires you to feed that Meowficer the same kind

[ionic kraken]

in the enhance screen or somewhere else?

[forest palm]

in the enhance screen

[ionic kraken]

thanks ❤️

[forest palm]

oh, also it's multiple copies btw

[cerulean field]

How do i sortie and accumulate 1000000 xp

[soft raft]

you grind like you normally do
ideally at W12 or at least anywhere W9 and above

[cerulean field]

oh

like chapter 9

im on chapter 4 vro 💔

[ivory pawn]

If this is for the Shipyard, don't worry about it yet.

If you can make it to w12 first, that'd be ideal.

[cerulean field]

oh ok

Who should I get for ur pity?

i already have shimakaze

[soft raft]

Shinano > Vanguard > NJ i guess > Everyone else

[weary gust]

Also stop pulling more than once per day on light build.

[teal cedar]

What's the fastest way to earn decor tokens?

[honest stirrup]

Chap 4 and already (close to?) 2 UR? That's crazy just start saving up cubes

[honest stirrup]

Daily/weekly missions and free battlepass rewards. That thing takes a lot of patience, sorry

[steep sleet]

How can I collect more gears? I am unable to explore due to failing because of gear shortage in my fleet.

[stark quiver]

craft tech boxes up to tier 3 and then open them

[stark quiver]

do more commissions

[steep sleet]

How can I do it?

Nvm ,I figured it out.

[worthy pike]

how do i know what gear is useful or not

[stark quiver]

[eternal basalt]

Cat dorm when high level

[cerulean field]

i mean my pity rn is 380 and i got 2 shim

[weary gust]

Permanent pity for URs is a trap. They're not worth dumping your cubes into, and you won't have the cubes to get the new, better URs.

[teal cedar]

When do I get high level

[warped acorn]

chap 4 and 2 UR 🤯

[weary gust]

2 useless URs. Or one 4* useless Shima. Either way, that's not good.

[cerulean field]

how many URs are there rn?

[weary gust]

idk, 20?

Not counting DR and SRs with retrofits.

[soft raft]

20 Gacha URs (6 of which are perament)
11 Research URs aka DRs
4 SR -> UR Retrofits
And the UR Bullin if you want to count that

[sweet delta]

What about nongacha URs

And I think you forgot to count Drake

[soft raft]

I didn't

[solar canopy]

1. does food like this affect the amount of morale recovery or the speed of morale recovery for ships obtained in the dorm? or does it only affect the exp gain?
2. and if I don't feed them but I put them in the dorm, will they still get morale recovery as written below?

[soft raft]

oh wait nvm

didnt count Napoli 💀

[weary gust]

Morale recovery isn't affected by whether you feed the girls or not (oddly enough).

[soft raft]

the food mainly is for bonus XP gain

[solar canopy]

oh okay thanks

[weak moat]

How do I get more prosthetic arms

[ivory pawn]

Operation Siren, META Showdown are the two main sources of all the META enhance materials.

[weak moat]

Ohh I need to unlock opsi I thought it came from the battle pass

[ivory pawn]

Oh, BP gives a bunch too right.

[weak moat]

But not enough for max haha

I’m like 4% away?

[forest palm]

ya there's some in the operation siren shops, if you have Crystal Fragments you can exchange those in the Meta Shop in munitions, and I think they can also be sourced as a reward from Meta fights

[whole crypt]

off the top of my head neither the showdown point ladder nor the cruise pass contain enough META materials for the META associated to them each season

[weak moat]

Gotcha

Sorry what’s the best way to spend cubes efficiently

I see Reddit saying if not event build one light a day during events go all out

So for example since there is an event going on now I build 3 event a day or like 2 event 1 light

And apparently I need to save for an upcoming UR event?

[whole crypt]

add to that event METAs you basically have to get them in OS and potentially the META shop if you want to max every META ship

[weak moat]

I see

[whole crypt]

generally outside of events you're recommeded to only do 1 light build daily for the daily mission, which is a slight surplus of coins and net 0 for cubes

[viscid swift]

the CN Anni event will be dropping in about 2 weeks and it will almost certainbly be a UR event

[weak moat]

But events normally use 2 cubes per pull right

[whole crypt]

events will depend but you're not advised to pull heavily outside of new UR banners, in which case the game hands out enough cubes for you to reach pity for every new UR

[weak moat]

Oh right

So event just pull once on the event banner is fine right

But UR just go all In

[whole crypt]

if you spend diligently eventually you should be able to stock up enough excess to build on any event, but it'll take a while

[weak moat]

Right then once u get the event ships u basically stop pulling
