ah I see, thx
Thank you
I had a doubt for a long time, can cv's launch airstrikes and do bb's launch salvo/barrage with 0 gear?
yes no gear = stock equip
Got it, thanks!
Ghost Guns exist 
Is this thing not available atm?
yes it was event limited
ya it is limited
rip, thx. i guess gotta wait until they add to the core shop or sth
thats me skipping a year:D
rerun for it might happen in august
based on past trend
her retrofit is very worth
nice
what skins
if non collab yes
cruise pass are alr rerunning and events come back with event reruns yea
Is Kazan worth investing into?
She's alright if you're a new player. If you have other SR BBs built or any UR BBs she's just tech.
I'm careful now with that because I overinvested into Indi and Long Island and now kinda have to use them cuz I have no leveling mats lol
well you don't need to because you cant overinvest early in the game
just change out indianapolis when you can because she aint good
and long island
Well she's lvl 90 and other options like 20 or so
its better to start again with a good setup than have to do the same thing later
you could also just send your dock and we tell you what to use
True enough
(elite and sr)
and where are you in campaign currently
w7
alright so your fleet shall be
nelson unicorn someone lil anchorage z23 dzp
you can put anyone in the 3rd main fleet slot, preferably a cv and it wont matter very much
MLB unicorn first, then nelson
also if you have an MLB portland you can use her over lil anchorage
lil anchorage is a better tank but you need retro portland for a mission anyway
you can work on retrofitting unicorn and z23/nelson
you will use this until like w10
where hopefully you have more stuff to work with
save your gold bulins, dont use them on anyone yet and also especially dont invest anything into subs
subs are strictly for late campaign use they are useless early on
also you only need one fleet for now
if you are in Little Enterprise, the medal shop should have CL, get san diego from there
no need to use her now(she is used in late game), but next month may not be CL so better to get while it is
Okay I'll try that
if you complete your newbie missions (i think its a tab on the top left) you can get a free gold ship and those options are pretty good
isn't it kinda hard on moral? I usually get like 2 mobs with second fleet before it sinks
well thats cause you're not supposed to be using a fleet 2 yet
well I'm then killing like 8 with my first fleet so it's just less burden on them
just make a good fleet 1 and use that for everything until w10
At your point in the game
An over levelled, strong single fleet is much better than 2 weak fleets
you also need good ships for fleet 2 which you don't have nor do you have the resources
I do need to level others somehow though, Portland for example lol
your fleet 1 isnt at a serviceable level yet so don't worry about a fleet 2
I guess I actually gotta use her?
just throw her in the dorm
and put her in your fleet 1
feel free to grind a lower stage if she dies easily
your gear is probably also bad but i'll assume you have nothing good anyway so we can come back to that when you start dying to w9 or w10
also the fact that you have kazan and dzp means you pulled on that banner, dont do that next time and only pull on UR banners
yeah just random stuff. Ty for advice gonna build the thing now
wdym UR banner, wasn't there UR on event banner? Also I got Kazan from the shop
its fine if you get lucky but its better to save at least 400 cubes for upcoming UR banners than pull SR banners
they aren't UR, UR are rainbow
Are you saying there are banners without UR wtf
Most events banners do not have URs
that's why they are called ultra rare
UR ships will have this symbol

Nice flex
sir i pulled this from google
still
okay okay what about research? I kinda went for a random one and uuh got 73 Brest blueprints
how wise is that
if you're referring to catchup, then yes you can do that one and plymouth, otherwise ignore research until you reach w12
there is also some other thing I don't remember
also put research focus on pr5 and do cheap shitty ones until you get to w12 if you want to minmax
Shipyard
no u are clearly a jp spy 
put that on roon and forget about it until w12
research and shipyard will drain your coins for a long time until you're done with many of the important ships, so its optimal to only start it once you can print money in w12
yea do roon also dont put any stuff into it because those coins and cubes are better used for other things
Roon advised. Am I back in 2020?
what's roon?
PR1 does have some good guns, the French has a nice pattern from what I remember
they all suck don't focus pr1
Then again, I am a bit of a smoothbrain
new players should focus pr5
That's plymouth right?
if you want good gear itll be pr5, its moderately good gear
it also has good ships and more importantly not coinable ships
Does the game do anything special for player birthdays because it's mine right now
I dont think the game even knows our birthdate right? did yostar ask for it while registering
?
No
What happens when maxing out a character in the research lab? For t7 I need 67 more nakhimov prints and like 280 Napoli, once I get 67 more nakhimov prints, will finding Napoli prints be easier?
Then they're max limit broken. Faces don't appear till ALL are maxed
Well ya.. will getting my last nakhimov print mean nakhimov no longer shows up as an option?
Or do they still repeat after getting all prints
After all Napoli prints (provided you already maxed all PRs)
Was it a mistake i chose felix for catchup prints over shimanto? Just thought felix was more interesting since i already have so many AA carries like shimanto
Shimanto is useful while Felix is not, so in a way yes.
how about this - 4 british anime girls and Jervis is a babe

#al-general unless you're asking for advice on the fleet, in which case drop QE.
As soon as you replace with 4 British babes from next anni
Hmm gotcha, just figured since i already have ships like z52, sandy, and scylla, not sure when i would use shimanto
Roger that, I probably have enough general prints to get her going
I lvl some common and rare ship for tech. Would it be fine if i retired them now? To get more space.
You can retire commons and rares yes, since they are easy to reobtain.
👍
I wouldn't retire BB and CV reload tech at level 72
Fumizuki isn't easy to reobtain
Fusou yama ise are BB reload at level 120
I am very new I am working on chapter 3 should i work on 2 fleets like always hear about or concentrate on 1 powerful one? This is my current selection. Any advice would be helpful. Im currently trying to save all my cubes outside of building the 1 daily.
No, just stick with 1 fleet for now. Can carry you all the way to like w9-10 ish.
how long do you guys think it takes a ship to get to level 120 from 0
Instant With xp books
Otherwise varies on what you do with her
which ships should i concentrate on my one fleet beside unicorn?
Usual recommendation would be something like Pennsylvania, Unicorn, someone in backline and Portland, Z23, and preferably pick up Helena in guild shop for frontline.
Probably Sovetskaya Rossiya as the third backliner, maybe? Or maybe ditch Penn for Rossiya and run Saratoga.
ok
whats the best stage to farm purple light cruiser blueprints for retrofit ?
X-2
thanks
X-1 Destroyer, X-2 Cruiser, X-3 Battleship, X-4 CV's
how do you remove ships from formation it wont let you recall or remove?
Click on them, first slot is remove
it tells me repulse is unique main ship and cannot be removed when i click on remove
Well, you can't leave the fleet without atleast one main ship. If it's not fleet 1 though remove the vanguard first, then the main fleet
ok thanks for advice
How do i effectively time my main fleet? like wanting to sync kazan right before nakhimov. i've been just doing feely craft but tseeing wwhen the initial attack happens would be nice
sweet ty
sui
Hi! I want to start playing again, these are my units, I am at 10-2 and I am researching Anchorage, what should I do next?
my man what happened to those ss
After Anchorage go for Hakuryuu or Aegir, almost all of PR4 shop are good so research them, take FdG to FS5 and save cubes for next UR events, you could reach W12 easily with your current ships so start working on that campaign
Agir I guess but really push to W12 first
ok, so no grind event for now?
what stage to farm in w12?
Where does FdG become important?
12-4, everywhere
it's "free" and is a very good ship overall, event URs are better but you have to wait for reruns
The moment you get her she's one of your best ships
She becomes less important the moment you get other UR BBs
I see, how should i buy the daily tickets? for fdg how to spend the gold?
and should I also buy for another ship? that was per tier right?
if there is a active event then grind it, specially if the gear and shop is good
15 if you don't mind grinding a few stages
like getting for tier 1 ships and gold is separated
what are daily tickets?
in events always go for the ur bullin
ship blueprints
The discounts for gold ships and rainbow ships are separate. Seasons share the same discount
So you can coin one rainbow ship and one gold ship
what should be the gold one for me?
anchorage 
august von parseval
she is not ready yet
any teams to use for now?
Then make her ready, she's good
need to farm the xp
We have some downtime
to push to w12 i'd say mob fdg/unicorn/monarch(flex) bremerton/san sandiego/laffey (flex)
boss shinano/enterprise/saratoga portland/helena/flex
thanks!
anyway check this https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
ive been passivly upgrading daisen what exactly can she be used for
she does bb stuff nothing special but shes among the top gold ones but not UR
How do you decide which ships are most worthy of bulins first? I use multiple gold ships but don’t have enough bulins for all of them currently
one of the best non UR BBs
that's about it really
how good are they, and are they a backliner
consult a tierlist
backliner usually takes priority for bulins since their damage is greatly dependent on LBs, and they are your main source of said damage
u shouldnt use anything that isnt mlb unless u just started
I’m trying to decide between Zara, prinz eugen, prinz aldabert, intrepid, and San Diego. They are all at level 70 so I can’t get any more xp without limit breaking
san diego and the other ones arent even worth raising ( unless for tech )
*level san diego -> the other ones aren't worth
Gotcha thanks for the help ❤️
san diego, and the other ones arent even worth raising ( unless for tech )

PS. play pvp to get access to more bulins
Hmm, why am i constantly getting this red dot notification in my general settings/options, but i don't see anything there?
because the devs said, "Let there be ❗"
Seems settings got a good idea
Some icons they already fixed. Now waiting for another
How do i check which ships have fs5?
they all will get one eventually so you should save regardless
Basically all PRs except the most recent season, and all DRs up to season 3 + Haku.
for gear, what does dmg modifier mean exactly, like when it says level 1 to level 3?
what is level 0 referencing when its talking about like 130%
sorry im not wording my question very well, what would be an example of level 0 100% dmg vs 130% dmg? is that based on armor or gear modifier
and does the direct damage multiplier affect the entire ship (ex. skills) or just the main salvo
the damage modifier is hidden in game so you can't see it there but we have all the values on the wiki
and I should clarify this is the hidden coeficient for gear
and level 0 just means the base damage ceofficient
so for level 0, all gears up to +10 range between 100-130% hidden dmg coefficient?
for gear that you can +10 for isntance you won't start increasing the damage coefficient until you enhance it past +10
yes thats it
gotcha, thank you
what's the most efficient way to farm purp parts?
stage and ships wise
how do you set which of your ships are available to guild mates in the event?
Can't do it during the guild battle, but after it's over there's a battle support button on that page.
Uhhhh guys when the new event come ;-;
Not this coming Thurs. Probably the Thurs after.
Is it normal that I have a 12 gigabytes update on iPhone?
I had one about that size on iPad, so seems right
Ok
Should i farm the war archives Since i need lvl 60 to clear chapter 8
If you can make it to and beat the final stage of one of the WAs, it'll be much better than farming chapter 7.
Okayy
I mean im doing ex stage atm
use emulator
Okay
What's with the punctuation?
guess only the 2 unlimited limit stuff above worth buying there?
just farm normally
eh depends, I personally don't bother with the skill books and some of the ships do give good tech
hmm
Maybe your fleet stepped on a tile
The fleet is "confused" so whenever you try to move it moves randomly until the status goes away
You can see the status in the top left of the ui as a small square in the corner of the map
must have spawned on the trap I guess
Scroll down on the page
can't tell if wiki error or not...
spoiler alert: not farmable

shit
Hm?
you can literally buy her
thanks guys
does she is a good ship for start ?
most certainly not
Nothings wrong with the page right?
costs 2k in guild shop but yeah only worth as collection / waifu
certainly not worth for a new player
The page is fine
Ariake lost her job to Kazagumo 
should I refresh and buy another thing ?
login-rewards rare ships so
Pick up some gold plates, probably gun plates
And carrier retro prints
also stop using 2 fleets until you reach campaign stage 9 or later
Red skill boooks, tech pack
i want to change the Thatcher to something better
Don’t bother with a second fleet yet

im keeping my cubes as someone says, should i keep with this fleet and whatever or buy something in the store ?
The newbie guide fleet is good
oh i forgot abbout it
Is this a good cat?
talent wise it's alright, but on the whole no it's a DD cat
DD cats are generally not useful, and when you do need a DD cat for EX mode, you need one or more of Flame, Heart, and Wind
not DD FP or Mountain
Welp that's 20k coins wasted rerolling. 
well yeah if it didn't start with a good rainbow or single-level talent, then it's not worth rerolling. Applies to all cats
Right, got it, thank you
Aquila preload mode or Indepkai has better dmg?
depends on fight duration
Waittttt new Jersey swimsuit skin is limited?
is A. Nakhimov useful under dev 30?
not that much
Is it just me or gane crashes a lot now
Can't even complete repair assets without it crashing
🥹 my game restarts on its own every now and then
haven't had any crash between mobile and emu 
Maybe it's time to quit 😔
but who will feed your saratoga in your dorm
Cannibalism
maybe shipgirl can find oil and cook food on their own
they live off of mitosis clearly
shipgirl is just lazy currently watch how healthy are they after u quit
Yes
Is this a bug, the notif keep appearing
I guess I'll wait they fix it, if they even do that anymore
Aw men uhhh will it available again?
Yes
Is shima worth getting from ur exchange if I have already have a max out Ibuki with aug
only if she's the last one from the list
ah ok then, I though some option that need to be set urgently
~~Shimakaza is only good as secretary ~~
Who knows, at the latest it will be the Black Friday sale in November
uh up to u lol. maybe for collection and that's it
for pve, ibuki is aight enough. pvp has jintM in dossier analysis
hmm, could make a point for crossfleet farming bcs she has torp crossfleet

Ah thanks
actually, does ppl have any clue what's the "best" crossfleet botes for both opsi and event farming?
For B1 farming
I pretty much always use Musashi, Alsace, Soyuz, Kronshtadt, Shimakaze, Unzen
cross fleet in Ops is negliable unless you have a massive skill issue 
on mumu?
bluestacks. ldplayer9 crashes more, mumu freeze, uninstalled both. bs crashes the least for me now lol
🥹 BS performance is so ass though, i can feel the stutter in combat...
I use BS have yet to have any issues 
I think it's AL issues now
it's almost as if every person rig is different 😭
I gave up trying to fix assets it never complete
im not even gonna bother updating mumu
yeah don't. don't fix stuff that isn't broken
out of curiousity i went and tried that too, stuck at 93% lol
:murmpain:
c1 failed again
What is this B1 C1 farming? We dun hav event running right?
opsi c1
corrosion 1 zone in opsi
basicially dumping ap in c1 repeat to fish for akashi spawns, who can drop more AP boxes
cheeky was just explaining the usual b1 crossfleet options
Oh okay
eh MuMu works fine for me even after the update
i had to reinstall mumu but works yeah
game still works fine for me too. On my phone
Sayme never happened b4
well I'll have to update on my old PC to confirm but my new one with installs from around Jan/Feb work fine
could be an EN issue
BearnM or Indepkai better dmg?
Heya mori, sorry for the ping, can you elaborate more on this? Ty
they're both 8 planes but I think Independence has better slot effs overall, but BearnM should have better launch times
Wdym better launch times?
it's simple, preload autowins if the battle duration is over before indep can release her first airstrike lol
in a 30 second battle for example, aquila does more damage
Whats the ideal indep first airstrike time? 20-21 secs?
whats it for?
less
entire point of using indep is because of her faster airstrikes no? making her run like other CV timing is pointless
In my case, opsi, Im running unikai and indepkai at the time being, and my indepkai is 21 secs
My fighter is FUV
Independence first launch should be around 14-15s, BearnM is around 11-12
tbh, uni,indep aquila sounds like a pretty good combo
it's great but depends on what it's for
That sounds juicy, fdg finna take a rest lmao
How do i achieve 14-15 on indepkai? Flapjack?
no idea lol ~15 sounds very early
it's just skill faster first launch, you won't see it on her equip screen launch time
is it
I still feel like her first airstrike is ~20s, is it my fighter problem or what
does lars cal include or not
-25% first launch time
nvm im gona go try opsi lol
BearnM has -50 but slower rld
Luna best because you get 2 -50% time launches with targeted barrage
also is this fleet actually good for strongholds
yeah ~14
why not
My indepkai gear FR is 19.37 secs
Minus 25% for first strike means 14.5 secs?
strongholds are not a high bar to clear
i usually just throw my pvp fleet at it and it dies so
but i kinda wanna get faster clears
whats the best ops mob fleet rn
for everything but harby
I guess the perception of unikai preload makes me think 14.5 secs is slow
Well, thanks again yall
best for what, fast clears imply no leveling
put some preload in vanguard like ibuki
no leveling, i dont really care abt ops xp
then hinden for gun damage, idk 3rd slot can be whatever dps you like
preload + fast launchers
run kron i guess
pretty good use of her
uhhhhh, luna,uni,indep, jim,shima, ibuki?
i do not have aquila
Who is jim?
nah you want at least something that can tank through stronghold elites, i dont think that vanguard can survive 100%

Oh her
I'm using Unicorn/Aquila/Luna/Hindenburg/Harbin/Ibuki
aquila users 
akagi muse 
if you're desperate she works, but unless you watch your clears like I do just throw in a decent BB to stabilize boss fights
Should i craft my first 406 mk7 over a 3rd wyvern?
flapjacks? D-4s?
I have a few flapjacks, dont quite remember what the d-4s are
Junkers TB
Hm I haven’t made any of those yet nah
basically if you don't need to prioritizn planes go ahead
Is this Ju74? The one that benefits AvP the most? Care to explain why do i need this plane more than one?
Ju-87 D-4
using a german plane on avp increases her dmg and rld iirc
all 4 converging TBs are basically sidegrades, you pick the one with the right timing
it's not just for AVP
Bf-109g, gold FW, junkers tb are some of the more popular options

they are not it depends on your use case
Idk what to focus on my gear lab grind, i guess flapjacks? Wyverns? I have 0 of them
you need more than 1 because having more than 1 allows you to micro adjust your fleet better to get a better sync timing
please do not craft any gold Fws if you do not know what you're doing
I use Aquila, Indepkai, Unikai : Z52, Ibuki, Unzen for every till C6 Abyssals but usually fails to 1 shot heavy type prolly coz rocket centered. So I thinking if swapping out Indepkai for BearnM might improve it
just use boss fleet for abyssals
wyverns are the first focus going into lab because it's the biggest improvement over lesser replacements and alternatives, but you usually get enough to craft some gold planes along the way unless you rushed rainbow designs
How many junkers do you generally want to have? And how much better is the UR mk7 compared to other options?
Mk7 just replaces Mk6, it's like a 4% damage increase before you enhance to 11 or 12+
but rainbow gear is expensive to enhance past 10 so until you can actually afford it all you have is a shinier Mk6
I mean i definitely can upgrade the the mk7 to plus 13 since it will be my first UR bb gun, is it mostly just a bossing gun? And are the junkers basically used in the same capacity as ryuseis?
have you enhanced your champagne guns or equivalent
because you can enhance 3 of those for the cost of 1 Mk7, Mk7 is only for light armour bosses and you'll use AP guns for heavy and med
mk7 is also good for mobbing wherever applicable
mobbing doesn't really need +13 and late campaign 457 is better
Makes sense, was just trying to see what i would use my ur gear selectors towards next, wyvern definitely the much cheaper option compared to mk7 for me atm
tenrai? 
you want at least 2-3 wyverns past that it's more of a luxury of not swapping
tenrai is probably good to craft at least 1 in lab plus the shop copy, kind of depends if you did PR4 or if you will be doing PR4
I need ordinance to craft tenrai, no? And i have 2 of both tenrai and wyverns atm
dont craft anymore tenrai
White VIT-2 good?
slightly better than helldiver on light and thats about it
just stick to helldiver/tenrai
ignore what i said, im blind
Ok then what about a breguet
its a barracuda with intercept
budget wyvern
So the white VIT-2 is a parallel with no intercept
like most, the only exceptions are wyvern and 🥖
Does vit2 have active interception?
I only use the mode change one.that damn thing dosent even have a single gun on it
you know what they say, don't bring a gun to a nuke fight
does vit-2 even have guns
no, thats why
do enemy AA ships engage interceptors
I was going to say it wouldn't matter even if they gave Vit2s a 1s interception cooldown, then I remembered it might jam up AA where they actually exist
realistically is there any point in keeping these?
skins
got none and don't like any of em anyway
40 medals then
fleet power
Should i get U-37 from merit shop? I have U-96 Mlb'ed
Currently my sub fleet is I-58,U-522,U-96
if you have 101, no. if you don't have 101, probably
still lacking u-81 so it's kinda iffy
hmm both are gacha tho so idk when ill get them..
i want to ask how to play the game, like what should we farm and things
that kind of depends on where you are in the game now
im clearing 8-4 at the moment
is it still worth to run hull on u-101 or do you run something else now
by this i mean mine is not cleared at the moment
So just full fleet 12-4 or like Cassin downes ranger fleet
full fleet whoever you want to lvl up
Anyone know what faction the new ship is possibly gonna be?
HMS/Royal navy event, may or may not have other faction ships, we'll see
Like how possible is it if you were to scale in percentage
100% royal navy main event
Oh ok
I wanted to ask since my friend is wasting his pulls on heavy but he's an hms enthusiast
CN game news said HMS event so it's confirmed
maybe they will slide in 1 META or something who knows
well we know for sure it has the META faction in it
finally reached chapter 12 ;-;, which one should I farm in, 12-4?
12-4 if you can, but 12-1 is a good secondary
12-4 for gold
12-1 for exp or if u just wanna save oil like me
try to get 12-4 and 12-1 to safe threat too
I see, any particular items would I need to farm to boost my fleet?
no gear is worth farming in campaign, cuz drop rate are shit
When is the next event banner releases it's been a couple day's 
21/22nd may
from wednesday call to war (UR event prelude) begins, no banner then
Aaaaa
after maintenance on the 22nd.
dats long 
more time to save up for the UR
I have 3k cubes 
thats how devs decided it
Oh lol
Or 20th, as that date is shown on the 'leak'
Guys quick question to confirm
Which is better SN Kronstadt or KMS Agir?
Are both U-boats with their special augments part of the wolf lineup or just one of them? And which one?
@eternal basalt do you mean Agir?
yes he means agir
better in term of what
Alright thanks
skins ofc
skin deez

tyty!
278
the game crashes at random times, is this normal?
Happens a lot after recent updates
ok, thx
anyone knows why it sometimes cost higher sometime cost lower
it decreases the price the longer you wait
the cost decreases over time
if you buy it then the cost resets to its maximum (10 AP)
decrease per minute or?
idr, i think theres an article on it in wiki
the thing costs 9 AP at max cooldown, decreasing linearly over 30 min, other orders besides repair/regroup have a similar thing just with different costs and cooldown timer until they cost nothing again
you can do a zon without recon but it's basically impossible to auto with the fog of war
oil logger also gets rid of the fog
for explorable zones yes
if my tank dies mid battle, does the safe become the next tank and start taking tank damage?
yes
but both spots will take overall more dmg if 1 dies
mebot has it on ehp chart i think but the distr is something like 50% ~25 ~25
ships don't take damage in specific proportions based on their slot, it's the probability of getting physical contact with bullets based on where they are
i.e. normally the most to the tank, less to offtank and least to mid
Can anyone help me to find the name of the stuff like I genuinely forget about it after I analyze it. It's not a blueprint but it looks like a core data with the number IV in it and it's blue what's the name of that stuff
guys, which one of these is better?
the combat data collection packs?
Can you show me how does it looks like
Yeah that one
oh
the pr stuff
Where the hell do u get that I forgot how to obtain that
mb
wiki says cruise mssions and rookie missions
for campaign right.
yea
btd is shit in general
Is that the only way to get it?
cruise missions and rookie training.
Oh well thank you for the help guys
but 2 1.6k lbs bombs tho?
it's ass
damn, how about hellcat tho?
the purple helldiver does roughly 25% more damage than the gold btd on average
gold does not automatically mean good in this game, keep that in mind
on top of that, it's a divebomber so it has no AA interception
aight, will remember that
hellcat is pretty good though, probably the best general option until you can get your hands on multiple 1000lb bomb fighters
gotcha, thx
the best general option you'll likely source from boxes
does anyone know how to shred strength shield without submarine
I'm inclined to say skip it if you have enough purple corsairs
just deal more damage but generally you're looking for most of your damage to be done before shield
so technically that shield is not meant to break-?
if you're struggling with the shield that means your setup is a little weak 
it is weak but luckily i can kill hard
and no i dont have submarine invested yet
you're not looking at much damage window after the shield anyway
I do not use subss for any content that actually matters, and do fine
if you use subs it's supposed to be at the start, not trying to use it to break the shield
so its just best to deal as much dmg before the shield spawn
but why some recommend to use sub once the shield comes ?
if u multifleet it u want to do 4x times dmg before shield and hope u win
ppl using subs to break shield are trying to 1-2 fleet
that makes sense now
i just use 4 fleet to do as much dmg i can
was wondering if the shield was meant to break or no
it can break
u just need to do enough dmg
but that is hard early on
u still dont want to summon subs very early otherwise they die and will be less efficient in the other 3 fights
u can summon subs in all 4 fights
whats the ideal time to summon subs
if your vanguard dies around the time strength gets her shield I think summon them around 1 min left for the fight would be good
that way they stay underwater until your vanguard dies and the fight is over
Kill Strength b4 shield
and they still do enough dmg pre-shield
sushi has a nice video explaining some basics to harby fight with mid-game progression https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJkdsDYASRs
U can skip to the fights if u know how to gear your fleets
If you're playing in November...GLHF

I don't think it's on my eHP chart
long island
Note that I tested the distribution between ship positions in lastlast month's arbiter, which had a lil bit of splash.
I was planning to re-test last month, but it had the stupid HP dmg over time thing.
Surely this month will be ok
shinano
you'll get there eventually
fumizuki
It'd be a great way to quantify the splashiness of different levels, actually.
I might try this exercise for W14/15 mob bosses.
renown
w15 would be interesting, im curious how much of a diff torp splash affects mid
I'd say more like 40/25/35
I expanded my dorm to the max to get the second floor and it says there won't be training spots there. I've read on reddit that you get there mirrored amount of spots, but they only regen morale, which one is true?
you get mirror slots, 2nd floor won't give exp but they give additional 10 extra morale, which is 50/hr
eg you have 4 slots 1st floor. you buy 2nd floor, you get 8 total
okay so it's worth right?
yes especially if you grind a lot
yeah ty, I get morale-blocked sometimes
Who should i fs5 first
fdg or haku or anchor
does she shoot barrage after a salvo besides removing the centered barrage
fs5 gives her on salvo barrage and flagship independency
but her on salvo barrage is a weaker ver of her prox barrage ( its basically just the needles )
is there anyone I can build here?
just tech
srl with aug is good but not enough so even her falls into the just tech category
for tech purposes everything but NC
sodak washi and nc are all not high prio for tech yes
alright, thanks guys
well arent SRL and Franklin like, the closest to enty
frankline is like avg enty yea
srl needs to scale
What does this mean?
there is a hard oil cap of 25k that cant be exceeded
hard cap is 25k u have 22k
+4 = >25k
time to buy some dorm food
spend oil
go grind maps
or do the long comm (the one that needs 800-1200 oil)
or buy dorm food
Alright,thanks for the help.
Run 12-4 for 300k coin
Btw what does the max:4100 means that's above my current oil ?
Thats the softcap for cantina
softcap: though the only thing affected are just you can't collect from canteen, everything else can bypass the softcap
who's cantina and does she have pink hair
I thought catina was the catgirl in left
That's akashi
canteen is the thing in port that regenerates oil
what is avg enty?
average Enterprise performance
i.e. those carriers do roughly the same output as Enterprise when she doesn't max proc or no proc lucky E
think about it this way
no, I got it
you are asusming she will always proc 7 out of 10 times right
double damage literally means (expected damage before skill proc) x200% based on the formula
the 4100 is the maximum oil you can hold before you can no longer claim oil from the canteen, that's what we call the softcap and it goes up as you level up the canteen, and as you gain commander levels, but you can get more oil from other sources such as missions, commissions and collection packs/storage
regardless of this number the absolute maximum oil you can hold at any time is 25000, which is why you couldn't claim the pack
so since she procs 70% of the time, it means base dmgx100%, + 0.7x100%
so 1.7x her base dmg on average
franklin would match that 1.7x
in practice however, you may get all 3 airstrikes proc lucky e
so that's what we mean by "max proc", which would be the full 2x
so enty has higher ceiling but also more standard deviation than franklin?
in short, yes
enty because she can proc lucky e 3x in a row has the highest dmg ceiling for a non UR CV
it isnt that far from UR CVs even
And you can buy more in guild aswelll
I see
Generally rng skills would not affect things that much, but since enty's is straight up 2x damage, it plays a major role
I don't think any other ship has 2x dmg skill?
there are quite a few like ark and ranger
its just that most of them have far lower proc rates (25%)
assault carrier on ranger and ark royal, but proc chance is much lower
is there a way to make your fleet on sortie kill all support fleets or will they always go for the boss when he arrives?
I see, thanks a lot, I was able to understand it better now
If auto... no, if manual yes
auto search will always go for boss, if you're trying to clear the all nodes star you need to do it by hand
I see, I'm just trying to wrap my head around oil caps lol
oil cap just caps the cost each fight costs you
Since the boss got best rewards (+clearing rwards) there is no reason to attack mob once they appear UNLESS you try for 3*
sometimes when boss blocked they can kill one more enemy fleet on the way. but it's more like rng
Boss fleet kills that fleet then
so oil cap is that frontload oil when you select sortie?
or is it always active for every battle and I'm just not hitting it
You don't frontload, it's a prediction
I'm not insist but I think saw few situation when not
that oil cost is based on the minimum number of fights needed for mobs + boss, it does not consider if a mob node gets in the way and it doesn't include subs cost
the actual oil used can't exceed oilcap
when using auto-sortie it just calculate based on how many mob + boss you will fight in that round
the thing is actually caps is the amount of oil it costs you each fight on the map
mhm
the cap is per fight
Subs, oilcap exceeded
I've been told you start using subs only after 5 years of playing
you start using subs when you want their dmg
if u dont move from w12 u dont use subs thats right
but you need to invest in them, and in early game you don't need their dmg
And when you need to spend oil when ~25k
just as an add, I didn't test it myself but apparently fighting more mob nodes than the minimum doesn't increase the clearing bonus coin, unlike spending less oil giving you less 
and I think some oil portion on prefight... if you loose you loose some portion of oil but no caped amount (lower) for that enemy. but not sure
almost 7 years of playing and I still don't use subs
Oil used = ships used... so usually 6
10 oil entry to map, 1 oil per ship for fights if you don't complete the fight
oh, good to know. I mention but never know amount
clearing bonus is based on average oil used, not total
Opsi: 
technically fighting more mob should reduce the bonus because mobs is cheaper and drags average down
how average 
average oil used per fight, capped at oil cap
so it throws the multiplier at the average spent per fight? wtf?
you don't need subs when you can dumpster content 
Catnodes
I knew less oil spent below cap reduces it but I just never figured it's based on average 
that shit weird 
oh so it was in the patch notes back then? 
something2 EN don't read 
how do i make it lv3
feed same named cats
renamed the cat to same name
does talent rly matters? or i can use a lv30 cat with their skill just fine
the talent usually has much more impact than the skill lol
~~actually just same cats, cos you can rename cat and feed... but ok
~~
so i have to rng my way for talents?
Do i replace long island with this or nah
correct
unicorn more worth to raise than her
use saratoga or something similar to replace long island
even ranger
So aint worth it to replace ?
as good as she is, no
Welcome to real gacha
Aight
she would use up the low stock of gold bulins you have
get a lot coins or good income for rng cats before start
Where do i get saratoga D:
2 avi after 120 lvl... not so bad at least
rng drop, or you charge for the first time to get her for free
ranger is a common rarity ship thats better than long island
Oh thx
should i dump this cat or keep resetting talent point for a rainbow talent
dump
rainbow talent doesnt appear even if reset talent all over again?
they might, but your starting talent seem meh
cat rng is more about getting cats with excellent base skills, and then leveling them to max to reroll their skills to get what you want
If no good rainbow at start... trash
you can start with soul+fp and roll for flame
so starting talent doesnt change except the last 2?
so i should dump the cat if no rainbow talent on first 3?
when the cat is out of the box without good talents, they won't become top tier cats
😭 read
at least bbs cat should have 2-3 talents on fp... other thing rng
or start with flame+fp and roll for soul. or start with flame+soul and roll for fp
Which one is better
if you see 2 hp talent, or acc - dump
Hellcat
right is ever so slightly more useful
Just use seafang, it's already leveled
Yes it's better
both of them are better yes
this cat is worth keeping right
until you can get better one yes
Eh, it can be better. 2 instead of 3 points, accuracy feat
might as well use her until you get a better one. feed that one to the new cat
Try get wolf talent on him
IF you are using wolfpack, if not then ignore wolf talent
wait, does the alpha wolf affect all subs?
Increase SS Submarine (SS) and SSV Submarine carrier (SSV) Torpedo Torpedo by 15 and Reload Reload by 8
ah, then dont ignore the wolf talent
this cat is worth keeping right
make thread if you want show more.
keep until you get a new better one
dejavu
arent that cat good for the submarine fleet
I've seen this cat question before
It's... the same cat?
he's probably lagging and double posting
oh yea i lagged
ah probably, same message too
same cat... are we in matrix? 
~~HMS Lion went poof
~~
this cat cannot become a perfect reload cat, at most ure looking at 8 pter
level her but not reroll unless u have coins and no other cats higher prio than her ( 8+ pter surface cats would take prio )
what's the common build for SS Frigates? 
what's the difference on the main guns though?
is this failsafe mechanism also there while limit breaking ur ships with ur bulins?
When a ship dies in battle, does her morale decrease more?
is there a stream for the upcoming event and if so when, like sunday
?
10 instead of 2

how do I get more augment module cores?
iirc weekly raids and events.
weekly raids, opsi arbiter, cruise pass and limited event shops/milestones
Which elite ship is worth to get from the guild shop
unicorn, helena are the highest priority
What exactly does nahkimov bring to the table as an aircraft carrier what is she good for
I got those already
Aside from those it’s just whatever I want?
yea
Ok
Everything
Elaborate please
Nahkimov is arguably the strongest carrier in the game
Interesting
Good damage, can Freeze if paired with certain ships.
If you use her right she is competitive in every single armor type
Can she be paired with implacable and Soyuz?
her best friend is soyuz
no point pairing her with impla since nakhi can already freeze, use a stronger DPS CV instead
So amagi or haku?
amagi assuming you have no other UR CVs
I have shinano amagi implacable haku
Amagi and Fritz are both solid choices , Fritz is favored for med/light and Amagi heavy
Is today or tomorrow the last day of 10x fast training. Since it's listed till 6/13 
Oh, wednesday maint, probably tommorrow too then...
is there a point in crafting brest gun when agir gun can easily be crafted
no but aegir gun isnt easy to craft
i can craft it and its only my second month in opsi
but ig having more than one gun in case of a second cb isnt bad
let me rephrase
aegir gun takes alot of high prio materials which u may want to use for something else
better use the purple ones or the brest one
i see 🙏
which chapter 12 stage is best for farming
Is the public guild good enough or should I aim to join a player guild?
12-4 for gold
12-1 for slightly better xp and easier map
some ppl do 12-2 as well from what I know cuz mobs spawn better there so u can avoid 7 mob sorties that way but it is really not a big deal afaik
join a guild
u get better guild coin income and there are 2 guild ops a month that give a lot of plates u want to do
I see, I see.
Is it better if i use blue or gold torp on Shimanto
What do you mean with blue/gold?
Where I can see the full details guide?
I only know 30% of this game even with the guides
this one is best for defense I think https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/550mm_Triple_Torpedo_Mount#tabber-tabpanel-Type_3-0
otherwise just use quad mags for dmg/offensive
Blue and purple are pretty much all collection for waifu or if you want to chase fleet tech, fleet tech. there are a few elites that have use cases, but most are pretty niche, or they are retrofit to be great (unicorn comes to mind). If your dock is full, check the tier lists, see if you like them, decide if you wanna grind them to 120 for fleet tech and then retire them
this is the most detailed guide we have https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips
there are other pages in that site for different stuff
detailed combat mechanics and dmg formula are on wiki
The rest u will have to ask here if u still have questions
Who will be the next UR added to the perma pools?
Is kashino in the standard pool?
Yes she should be
wolfpack still meta on opsi bossing? as a sub fleet
damage wise not anymore but the difference is small enough that you don't need to level anyone else if you don't want to
Thx
special tab
Tyvm
just slightly behind the fish comp of alba, flasher, archer
not enough behind to make it if you already built your wolfpack tho
btw without her cargo she not so worth
How many research should I be queuing at a time?
all of them
and cargo out of shop
full at all times ideally
is there any guide on meowfficers
- chinese rec?
- how tight are the rld requirements for a bidder (or g7e) loadout?
- rainbow torps (not the aux) okay on them?
- dont understand the question
- not tight with the right auxes
- them as in? fish or wolf
black shells are useful right? ive seen some comps use white plus radar instead of black and white
Less than white
yes they are useful
CN recommendations are also fishpack top
bidder timings were never tight especially not with snorkel but you may not need snorkel for archerfish
rainbow torps are kind of cope if moving, stig probably has better numbers on how well they work
In a triple BB fleet, you basically always use at least one afct/HSFCR, which means you almost never use 3 black shells
archerfish doesnt need snorkel as far as im aware
ohh I see, thanks!
so ig 3 full sets and a few white on top will be needed
archerfish still needs some RLD but the reqs are mid-high
If you have extra core then yeah, but buy other things first if you already have 2 black and 3 white
just get 3 sets of shells and swap as needed, the extras are after you get other core shop stuff
If you ask me then I go all in on type 95 kai except maybe in very few CMs that need 20s timing
got it, thx 
we should get a wishing well during the UR event right
also off the top of my head 95 kai is strictly a fishpack or maybe non-faction sub fleet thing, u-boats don't have enough oxy to finish 2rd reload
well we did get one last year during CN anni so take that as you will
so im safe to scrap all the rare meowfficers right
No u made your good kyats cannibalize on them
yeah thats what i meant 
Iirc my non oath wolves get 24 in opsi and 22 or 24 outside of opsi
don't they barely finish G7es in time how the heck do you finish dumping 95kais
crazy reload + extra oxygen i guess
that's kind of how you get G7es to work on wolfpack to start with
is royal oak worth using in any scenario? I mlbed her for tech
she's just tech
~~ she can be your secretary ~~
Because g7e and bidder range suck
nope
noticeable drop off from the top SR BBs
What’s the best gear to run on guam 
sth like this
Thanks
Hi everyone, I have a problem I can't go forward with 15 - 3, I don't understand what the problem is in my fleets, can anyone recommend me some fleets to complete 15-3 and 15-4
/w15
check here and see if u can replicate the comps
if not make a thread and show your dock and current fleets
/campaign
Chapter 14 Guide - https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief/
Chapter 15 Guide - https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15
Thank you very much I'll try it now
~~ they chnaged it on smh~~
campaign is so hard to write, /w15 was better 
Facts I can't spell .
These are my two fleets, it's written on the top right if they are for mobs or for bosses
where is 
where should I put it?
anyway with what u have I think u can replicate the comps in that guide
just check it and u will be fine
also check the gears
I read the blog but there are no fleets other than those for submarines
she should replace impero and make that fleet mob
replace ryouhou in boss with a dmg carrier
the vanguard also needs work 
go to the last section "example fleets"
and click the urls
it will show u full examples 
skill issue
i mean i dont want to make 2 commands
the alternative is that it goes into /guides
/w14.5 
in the first place they're not even called worlds
If I use these fleet examples should I be able to "easily" do chapter 15-3 and 15-4?
with musashi and aquila as long as your gear isnt cursed it will be easy mode yes
u can also read the guide and cook up your own fleets if u want
i think sushi explains the nuances of what u need
can I show you their gear to see if it's at least okay?
but yeah if u want to just clear it follow the recommendations
there is also support fleet picks and gear
and how to pick the nodes to fight
so i rly recommend u read it all
u can if u want
make a thread lets not clutter up the chat
you look like you have decent gear
i think u will be fine
Like I said read the guide it will be much easier since otherwise I would have to check all of your dock and depot for gear and that will take too long 
Dive bomber on Aquila is no good
When main fleet dies does a vanguard an shan class go to main fleet or is that fleet unusable
you cannot convert a DDG mid battle
since you'd need to use the toggle on the retrofit tree
which cannot be done mid battle
so in short are they built well?
kinda
you got the basics down right but there's a few small things that aren't particularly great
and your fleets themselves are downright confusing
0/10 as well for not using Unicorn retro
so I have unicorn
Yeah, so just give the guide a read first and if you still have questions then come back and ask
do I have to leave the pvp def fleet geared? or gear is saved like guild's battle support ships?
no it's not saved, pvp def also doesn't matter because it's not a real gamemode
pvp isn't real, it can't hurt you 
pvp irl
is saratoga good to use without augment
better than average
If you're a very new player then you can still use her without augment
ok
is there some condition to unlock richmond for drops ive played 9-1 like a hundred times and havent gotten her even though shes a comon
double check you are actually doing the right stage (make sure shes a 9-1 drop and/or check if you are autoing that stage instead of a different one on accident)
otherwise if you know you are doing the correct stage its just rng unfortunately
as a common she can drop from any node not just the boss only
she is a 9-1 drop
how about you farm her in w11 instead
where you actually get much more exp for your oil
consider that 9-4, 10-2, 10-3, 10-4, 11-2, 11-3, 11-4 all have rare drops too
I got many Richmond's from an event
Rng is rng. I did near 15 maps for 3 Leander copies
What should I buy with 5000 specialized cores?
is there a good way to get more skill books? i'm like out of gold ones, and i buy all the ones i see for coins in munition shop
Guild shop
Nothing for now
Maybe sandy's microphone at best
Don't forget to do your daily raids, and you can upgrade your lower rarity books up to gold.
Upgrading not worth in exp terms. Only less time
Only one reason to have gold books - unlocking meta skill.
Or if you have tons of low rare books...
Gold books give exp faster, so if you have a surplus of books it's better to upgrade to gold.
and time
ty all for the help
do i prio kearsarge with prints after nakhimov or fully complete pt7 (napoli and others) first before moving to 6?
Fwiw I remember struggling with richmond as well 
also should i be using a snorkel on wolfpack subs with bidderes or is a rainbow oxy torpedo and the pressure-resistant hull plans better?
snorkel+pressure hull
stick with research focus 7, finish all of them, then move to 6
la-9 more important too anyways
At least 2 total. 4 is even better, but that might be a longer term project.
at least 1 before moving on to 6
4 seems something id return to after getting all of my drs and prss done
you can return to 7 after you're done with 6
im like 2 prints off a tenrai lol
then get them from 4 quickly
You can finish nakhimov and stay on pr7. Overcaped print convert on proto for tenrai or other gears
Like implacable rerun, to love ru, raffaello event
smh wiki needs updating clearly
is there any point to lowering threat to 100% on a low lvl hard stage i wont farm after getting 3stars on it?
Threat level goes to "safe". 100% refers to completion of the stage. There isn't a point in lowering it to safe if you're not going to farm it.
Second team help
how do i gete more mk8s so i can make more bidders lol
Lvl 65 sub raids
would a backline of akagi, kaga, and shinano be better for boss fleet or mob fleet? and should i try to use ijn frontline ships with them?
i wouldnt use that backline at all
only nano is good
