[whole crypt]

sp is much easier I could do it on a 1 week accelerated account on CN

[stark quiver]

i forgot i dont have richy leveled gg ]

whats the highest single shot damage ap gun

[heavy zealot]

Lvls are big difference?

[stark quiver]

yeh

[heavy zealot]

I ss all my ships, suggest who prio....

[eternal moth]

Each level you are below the enemy you take 2% more damage and do 2% less. if the enemy is 126 and you're 110 that means you're taking 32% more damage and doing 32% less

[heavy zealot]

Ahhhhhh, thats big info for me, thank you

[eternal moth]

Do you have the bulins to MLB Lion?

[viscid swift]

you might want to forget about EX right now, you're only missing 500 cog chips anyway, and focus on wll improving the account

like having more than one ship at level 120

and stop spreading your bulluns around

[supple ember]

whats the "required stage" to play these

[eternal moth]

And getting your ships limit broken

[eternal moth]

D3

[viscid swift]

you need to clear D3 to unlock SP

[pliant gyro]

any good comp i can do rn?

[supple ember]

oooh ok i was gonna say theres literally no more stages lol

[eternal moth]

Are these the highest-level ships you have?

[pliant gyro]

new acc yeah haha

just got cleo just now.

[eternal moth]

Focus on limit breaking your ships. Lion, Laffey, Portland, Helena, Unicorn, and whoever you have for a second carrier, probably Long Island. For now, avoid using more than one gold ship to ensure you have the resources to limit break them

[viscid swift]

read that, use Lion instead of Penn
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips

[eternal moth]

It should be really easy to get the bulins required to max limit break Lion, since you get one for free from the catchup.

That said, even at 2 she'll be far stronger than just about any other ship you can get

[little tree]

Is lion so good that it's better to use lion then a elite or sr thays full lb

[heavy zealot]

Going for it ;3 not yet tho, im hoping for one more dupe so i can save a ur bulin

[eternal moth]

2LB Lion is probably stronger than any MLB SR

[pliant gyro]

using lion for sure cuz i know shes OP haha just for the other ones. will check samheart links for it.

[eternal moth]

Don't. Save your cubes for future events

[heavy zealot]

Spreading bulins...?

[eternal moth]

All the other ships I mentioned can be obtained in Guild Shop, which you don't need to be in a guild to buy from, assuming you don't have them yet.

[viscid swift]

I mean you generally don't want to commit bullins to a ship you can't MLB

[stark quiver]

do i get damage boost if i manual fire on bbs

[zenith heron]

quick question, is there a slight maintenance in a few hours?

[heavy zealot]

Ah, welll, lion and nj... I got to those lb by getting dupes :3 , others using bulins prio lion rn , right?

[viscid swift]

yes

[pliant gyro]

is it worth getting a unit from medal shop?

[eternal moth]

Yes, but it depends on the ship.

[viscid swift]

if you've been pulling on heavy and special, don't

[pliant gyro]

i got u96, san diego, belfast, sirius, dido and the other dido haha

[eternal moth]

U-96 and Sandy if you can

No need to build them out right away, but San Diego, at least, you'll want later game

[pliant gyro]

ahhh got it. i might need to focus on building easier to build ones first.

[sweet delta]

Excellent deduction

[pliant gyro]

i played this game long time ago during minneaopolis banner iirc lmao

[eternal moth]

Yea, San Diego is really good for plane-heavy worlds, but she's expensive, so getting her but putting off doing anything for her is a good idea.

[pliant gyro]

lost that acc sadly

aight2 got a few ideas on what to do now :3 thanks peeps

[zenith venture]

How do I unlock the sp stages in the event

[zenith venture]

Ohhh okay

Ty I was so confused

[clear harbor]

Is the gun in the event shop good? I only have access to poverty guns, sometimes worse.

[wind hazel]

it's very good

[clear harbor]

And who should I be equipping my best AA guns to?

[wind hazel]

which aa gun

[clear harbor]

I have 1 Quad 40 mm Bofors and 1 Twin 113 mm AA

[wind hazel]

what vanguard ships are you using?

[clear harbor]

one moment.

[wind hazel]

actually it probably wont matter

worry about AA when you're tackling w12 w13

[sharp socket]

twin 113 for all if not w15

else use whatever if not w13

[clear harbor]

Oh, I guess my question is, do I put them on my Vangaurds and not on my main fleet?

Or, it sounds like it really doesn't matter. I'm only in W10

[wind hazel]

doesnt matter. any gold>purple

any aa gun with HIT stats go to your BB, CVL

that's the general rule for now at where you are

[clear harbor]

Thank you.

[whole crypt]

CN predl 1.1GB

what were we expecting in this patch that's beeg

[sharp socket]

more skins?

[whole crypt]

fairly sure we've had patches with more skins at smaller sizes

[wind hazel]

probably due to this

half of the size are these, most likely

skins usually 400-500mb, so make sense

[woven star]

Skins vol.2

[whole crypt]

[wind hazel]

anyone interested...

[sharp socket]

multiple skins for research ships

[wind hazel]

maybe top tier eHP @slow fox

[slow fox]

LITTLE AGIR RELEASED. I love her already. Where TL

[warped acorn]

what the shit is that hp

[sharp socket]

i cant read CN what armor is she

[slow fox]

Probably heavy

[whole crypt]

heavy

[warped acorn]

guess time to replace portland with her

that recover 1% hp per 8 mg hit is crazy ng

[sharp socket]

not w14-able

unless magically very tanky

[warped acorn]

guess 76mm aa gun going have some use

[whole crypt]

yellow: if enemy in 35 units, slash attack 20s cd, AB if hit by slash, if no enemies 5% crit up 5% dmgred

[slow fox]

Is Boss usually 35+ units away?

[warped acorn]

didnt there mention abt armor break too

[whole crypt]

red: if not in no ammo 5% eva, every 8 MG 1% heal and barrage, 15% slow if hit by barrage, large gun 4 shots instead

[sharp socket]

also why are there little ships when childrens day is in october

[whole crypt]

already edited

[wind hazel]

pretty insane for a newbie tank ngl

[warped acorn]

how will that be useful against w15

[whole crypt]

because CN and JP also have their own national children's day

[wind hazel]

huge hp, has hp recovery, and armour break

[whole crypt]

Shinano-chan was also pog last year for newbies

[warped acorn]

sounds like fully replacing portland, and looks like its a ca or cb

[wind hazel]

yeah very useable CV

[whole crypt]

no tech, mostly

[forest palm]

so I'm guessing Little Agir is "good"

[whole crypt]

but definitely fair game for an early unit

[warped acorn]

213/225 aa and 237/251 fp 🤯

[eternal moth]

Since she can use large guns, she almost has to be a CB

[whole crypt]

pretty average numbers

[warped acorn]

maybe for stats req

[whole crypt]

it's Agir of course its a CB

previous littles have not changed class for being smol

[forest palm]

[sharp socket]

where is smol ancho at?

[eternal moth]

1.08 seems really low. What's Agir on that scale?

1.54?

[whole crypt]

well her DR isn't persistent like AP/norm Agir

and lower

missing like 1k HP, also slightly less EVA/evabuff

[slow fox]

Yeah
Less DmgRed, too.

[slow fox]

101

[eternal moth]

ok, so not all that much better than Portland

Which makes sense.

[zenith pebble]

event was a few weeks ago

[eternal moth]

I think they meant where is she on the chart. In which case it's just slightly above Portland

[whole crypt]

to be fair I would recommend on the grounds of avoiding retrofit costs, especially since it's no longer tied to missions

[slow fox]

-# HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT IT'S 10% EVABOOST NOT 5%

[warped acorn]

average megpt

[whole crypt]

at least while event is available

[hollow gust]

Huh dont even need 3rd vanguard

[blissful sigil]

what do i go for on war archives EX/SP?

[warped acorn]

remove that plymouth too

[eternal moth]

You dont

[vale spindle]

only ships you think are waifu or need for collection purposes

[whole crypt]

current event first, archive is kind of for farming tech ships when nothing is happening

[eternal moth]

I love that giving her a VH armor brings down her survivability. I don't get it, but meh

[blissful sigil]

thanks a bunch!

[vale spindle]

when you are already heavy armor, its just very small damage reduction so makes sense

[whole crypt]

own fight?

[eternal moth]

Actually, that's a good question. What's the standard equipment, washing machine and?

[slow fox]

It depends on the model. Including W14/15 in the eHP model (and weighing them a little more) introduces anti-heavy bias, depending on the ammo distribution.
Standarad equipment is IPH and Toolkit.

[hollow gust]

Yeah , this was assist

[slow fox]

Stanradatndarddard.

Strandardaearstrarnestarnenrtned.

On DDs it's toolkit + 550

[warped acorn]

lmao 19.6k dmg away

[eternal moth]

That means she's doing more than Bisco even without Ply's buff, so yeah, pretty OP

[whole crypt]

that's basically same % as soynak, and you're short one shit

[hollow gust]

I'll just swap my ply gear around and it will be enough lol

That's defensive Plymouth

[whole crypt]

consistency though?

well that or you throw hindenburg in

with bis buff you're set

[hollow gust]

No gear swap , if I throw hinden ; pretty much guaranteed kill

[whole crypt]

holee shiet

BBs are back?

[soft raft]

Who's the third vanguard there
Or is it just Agir lol

[hollow gust]

380k without Plymouth then add another 50k burn burn burn

[hollow gust]

I'm fucking around with 2 vanguards only

[forest palm]

if you wanted a 3rd might as well throw in Traffy

[mild heath]

I just got Saint Louis, what other PR ships should i be going for (also have Monarch). I seen Brest but my Iris libe tech points are to low.

[wind hazel]

FDG, Anchorage, Agir

AVP if dont have Implacable

[fickle hollow]

Which UR gun should i Consider to +13 1st

[sharp token]

does rafa is for boss fleet? she's been having the mvp in boss on my sorties

i have 2 +13 champy gun ,ig i will +13 lion gun

[wind hazel]

what about 3rd AP gun

gold one. champy or flandre or soyuz

[carmine heath]

can you only have 3 strongholds at a time? never touched them this month but only got 3

[wind hazel]

yes only 3 can appear at the same time, the rest are stocked if you didn't clear any

they will appear as you clear them

[carmine heath]

cleared all 3 and no more appeared

its over

W14 is late game

[wide snow]

isn't w15 the one with the CV support fleet mechanic

i don't remember how the one works

[cobalt rapids]

it is

[wide snow]

oh so u just spam fighters for the support cv

and 120 i assume

[wind hazel]

ideally 125

[wide snow]

I must hoard cog chips ..... 💔💔

so many rainbows on support fleet wow

[whole crypt]

they kind of do but it's slow and mostly irrelevant

[wide snow]

yeah it seems hella outdated last i checked

[whole crypt]

they're not really useful even in an updated state

chips is just cope in higher chapters or low cost farm it

or swipe for it

[wide snow]

you can farm the dark blue ones?

I still feel like I barely have any of the dark blue ones

[whole crypt]

you don't need a lot of arrays

after the first 30 or so top ships the spending slows considerably

[wide snow]

will the 5 levels on support carriers really matter

excluding the rainbows since those are just good pretty much everywhere

[whole crypt]

it'll matter to the extent of making your clears slightly less rng

[cobalt rapids]

they matter but 120 is good enough w15 is easy enough to clear

[wide snow]

i have every rainbow minus Eldridge retro i feel like it won't be as hard as im making it out to be

with appropriate fleetbuilding and adequate gear it wont be

[slow fox]

-# No point in being here if he's unbanned smh

[wide snow]

idk I think arguing with the kimocheese and j3c supporters must be great entertainment

[atomic abyss]

He was never banned to begin with

[wind hazel]

he was... for less than a day

[wide snow]

yeah i remember seeing a vid Abt that when he did challenge mode

It was almost instant too iirc

[atomic abyss]

Oh you mean in game ban

Eh false positives happen

[wide snow]

how do you even get yourself out of that

[atomic abyss]

It's just flat out annoying cos they don't know what they're talking about usually

[atomic abyss]

...you email customer support

Also it helps that he has video proof

[wide snow]

what do people even get banned for... in all my years i haven't seen a cheat for AL ever

[wind hazel]

funniest shit is that his old name is permanently on wall of shame tweet

[wide snow]

that's mad disrespect lmao

[atomic abyss]

Cheat in EX for leaderboard flexing

[wide snow]

he's like one of the few ppl who actually knows what he's talking about

[wide snow]

am i wrong i haven't rly seen any misinformation

granted i barely speak here 😅

[slow fox]

No, you're not wrong he's a decent fellow. I meme

[wide snow]

oh i also wanted to ask Abt the recent censorship thingy is there any possibility of a standalone AL client 💔

[wind hazel]

can voice your feedback at #game-feedback but nobody can answer

[meager tiger]

why would you even cheat in ex mode

i understand cheating in like CS or something where youre actively killing or doing something better than other people so it kind of appeals to a power complex or something

but ex mode doesnt even have rewards, its just an arbitrary number

[wind oxide]

go ask the cheaters

[meager tiger]

only thing i imagine in their head is that stupid monkey from toy story that smashes the cymbals together

[wind hazel]

[wind oxide]

lol

[meager tiger]

this gif ^

[wide snow]

nah i just saw some ppl discussing Abt it due to the nature of the skins and the whole private quarters update

[cobalt rapids]

[meager tiger]

just use your imagination if u want naked skins

[wind hazel]

sir this is gph

[meager tiger]

[wide snow]

im gameplaying it

[whole crypt]

if it's about PC client we don't know, but the fact is don't expect a PC client to ''fix" censorship problems

please avoid non-game related gifs and memes

[wide snow]

moreso i don't like emulators

but that was discussed last i saw

[whole crypt]

that's a valid one, and game shits bricks occasionally on emulators so understandable

[wide snow]

hell even on my mobile the game occasionally dies

[meager tiger]

just port the game to UE5

ue5 AL will make stellar blade look G rated

If one has enuf UR universal bps to craft 3 UR gearlab gears and dun hav any Wyvern and twin 76, what do u suggest?

u can probably live without twin 76 i think

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Sugary-Sweet_Käsekuchen Find out I guess?

oh CN just handed out gems this week

[crimson glacier]

but werent the old ones also just super easy

[eternal basalt]

XP book to 70 and LMB... done

[whole crypt]

this one is much lower effort and yeh XP packs plus LBing is enough even if you afk the whole event

anyone remember if they mentioned free ring for CN

[eternal basalt]

[whole crypt]

next week I guess?

[eternal basalt]

We get in August

[split gazelle]

do we know anything about little agir yet?

[whole crypt]

no I mean CN specifically

[whole crypt]

1.05 Portland or something, nothing really fancy but personally I'd say worth taking for a new player since Portland retrofit is not in missions anymore

[eternal basalt]

She is gottten from Guild

[whole crypt]

retrofitting is more expensive

[eternal basalt]

Same as lil Anchorage

[whole crypt]

same issue with starter DD if any half decent replacement comes by too

especially since first retrofit priority is Unicorn

[split gazelle]

only thing they dont have is fleet tech right?

[whole crypt]

yep

but they still work for pr grind

[split gazelle]

wait

[eternal basalt]

cough Trafelger

[split gazelle]

little agir gives ib points then?

[atomic abyss]

No

No tech

But they count for ib exp cos they're IB faction

[whole crypt]

and if for pr1 they should count for the number of whatever ships since it's not on tech points

[split gazelle]

oh exp. I see

useful if you didnt pick z23 I suppose

[whole crypt]

Trafalgar is actually bad in the sense you can't LB her over your starter and likely not before Lion

[eternal basalt]

z23 is on ALL campaign maps so it matters little

[atomic abyss]

As I have suggested before

[whole crypt]

not sure how well she does vs starters at 1LB if you get dupe

[atomic abyss]

Clearly the solution is to grab Tai Yuan on your second guild shop reset

[split gazelle]

but my ur bullins

[atomic abyss]

Well the issue with TY is that you need to wait till the next round of guild shop reset

Since uni and helena are higher prio

[whole crypt]

any half decent SR DD might be better if you get one, Kazagumo is medal now

[split gazelle]

tbf its not like you need a better dd than starter up until like w12

[whole crypt]

you don't really need to use a DD per se, the biggest role they fill is trp and eva reqs like now on D2/3

[atomic abyss]

Unfortunately

TY torp stat is abysmal
So is her eva iirc

[whole crypt]

yep

starters better, and actually jav/aya best for them

[split gazelle]

i would argue z23 for ib tech

[eternal basalt]

Worst starter/not a starter for EN

[atomic abyss]

Jav and Aya do have the best stats for HM req

High torp and eva

[whole crypt]

specifically for stat reqs

[eternal basalt]

How's Grenville?

[whole crypt]

haven't seen datamine but hey purple META

[normal cedar]

is it possible to lowcost 3-4 with lion's crossfleet barrage alone?
i doubt ranger cassin will work in that case, any alternate fleet suggestions?

[atomic abyss]

They will...

At least if they're not level 30+

[whole crypt]

not reliably, the problem is the boss fight

Lion's xf only works first 3 fights

[normal cedar]

I have fusou meta non mlb, she seems to have crossfleet too but idk how strong

[atomic abyss]

Weak

Just farm it 1:1 with a proper comp at that point

[whole crypt]

1:1 with MLBs basically

or wait till you have better xf

[normal cedar]

Oh I see, thanks ill try that
you think I can 1:1 stage 8-4 as well? with 2 lv 120 ships?

[atomic abyss]

8-4 you want an actual BB/C/M

[woven star]

UR or SSR got a lot of oil. That's why u use 1:1 0lb ships in one fleet and x-fleet at second. No alternatives if you want lowcost farm

[pastel cloak]

Is there info on grenville meta yet?

[whole crypt]

what he means is a low cost fleet supported by Lion's xf

a vanilla CVL Mahan comp struggles slightly with the boss fight, but Lion can't help that anyway

[atomic abyss]

Which doesn't work that well since lion xf isn't past the first 3 battles
At least, not her alone

[whole crypt]

the mob fights are pretty much a non-issue even without xf

[atomic abyss]

Probably need NJ and uvh at bare minimum
Ideally Soy/Als/Sushi

[whole crypt]

actually only one of Musashi or Alsace is probably enough

[woven star]

He can try shimakaze she has xf for all fights iirc

[normal cedar]

oh wait, I can get the shinano from the missions
will her crossfleet work? at 0lb but lv 100+ with good gear?

[atomic abyss]

No

[whole crypt]

Shimakaze helps yeh

[atomic abyss]

Shinano x fleet is extremely weak

Shima would help though yes

[whole crypt]

actually might be enough for 3-4

but the question is why bother with 3-4 now

[woven star]

I used NJ, Mushi, Amagi cv/Fritz. Last two nice but depends on needs. Amagi aoe, Fritz single target for boss

[normal cedar]

well since I had ships with crossfleet now so I wondered if its possible
if its not then i wont do it ofc, not worth wasting oil

[atomic abyss]

You don't have enough

[woven star]

Shima nice for boss cos her xf 30 sec cd. And mostly on mobs unused

[whole crypt]

0lb 3-4 was always possible just not 100% reliable

a xf changes that reliability considerably if the timing is correct

[woven star]

As for me there is few tricks but it's hard to call low cost. First used ranger and good ssr in front to deal with all. Second using 1:2-3 0lb ships. Still lower cost than first but not optimal

[whole crypt]

or just use 2 Mahans

3-4 is just fox mining for collection anyway there's 0 urgency

[atomic abyss]

Hiryu and Souryuu have better tech anyways

+2 avi and +2 rld iirc

[storm olive]

Hiryuu is +2 hit

[atomic abyss]

Oh
Well that's even better

[storm olive]

Does lions dot get affected by QE metas knights or does it still do damage like Essex dots

[whole crypt]

works and tested I believe

[atomic abyss]

@inland shoal any idea

[whole crypt]

it's actually even better because unlike the old options you're basically guaranteed the dot

and the amount is much higher

[inland shoal]

Should definitely work

[left wasp]

Hmm
Since I now wanna do opsi more just for Gear Lab I'm wondering where to get all the stuff I'm missing
Especially just to get the good gold/rainbow guns

Because while I see more gear lab stuff from the new daily challenges, I also see stuff needed not from that and I assume from opsi

[rose spear]

The shops in ports contain most of it

[kind slate]

whats the current maint for

[left wasp]

Hmm ok
A lot of the in Opsi I'm mainly just farming for the stars that's why, not paying too much mind to META ships

[wind hazel]

check the 2nd pinned message

[white agate]

any really efficient opsi 3cvs fleet? i can use another fleet for strongholds if it can't do those

[steady rain]

how long does a D3 boss/escort fleet/stage roughly take for an endgame player?

[wind hazel]

for mobbing?

[exotic wren]

Like 5 minutes?

Or is it per enemy

[atomic abyss]

~25s x7

Or rather 25s x6 + 40s

So just over 3 mins

[steady rain]

per escort fleet and per boss fight on d3

[atomic abyss]

Ofc this assumes unoptimal comp

With preloads it shd be even faster

Probably 20s for preload comps

[steady rain]

thx

[versed forum]

is drake gun more prio than champy?

[wind hazel]

no it's actually the last in priority among the UR print there

[atomic abyss]

Complete opposite lol

Lowest priority rainbow gear there, hinden gun is better and it's the second lowest

[versed forum]

ok thanks i should get 3 champy first before drake gun and the rest ur prints

[steep merlin]

how's trafalgar for now?

[dreamy blade]

good

[wind hazel]

do you have soyuz gun or flandre gun?

[split gazelle]

supposedly another 2 hours for maintenance right?

[versed forum]

i only have 1 flandre unlevel

[split gazelle]

[wind hazel]

then you only need 2 more champy gun

2 champy+1 flandre gun are enough, dont overspend on the prints, remember champy needs 25 prints

[sinful escarp]

what do you guys think: aim for a 4th LA9 or more plygun?

[wind hazel]

5th la9 then done

[sinful escarp]

So stupid question time. Did the new event come to an end already? 🤨

[late flame]

#game-news

[whole crypt]

the new thing

usable slots increase based on tasks and there are paid options to add more

[grand solar]

Thank you!

[orchid scarab]

hey uhh new player here. Any of you willing to give me some useful tips for starting out?

[fickle garnet]

Azur Lane Research Ship Projection unlock Missions:

• level 120
• dev 30

• Oath
• 200 gems
• 200 gems

[split gazelle]

follow these tips and check out the other pages for more info, if you have any questions ask them in this chat

[lyric night]

This is coming after maintenance?

[wind oxide]

yes

jk no

[lyric night]

[eternal moth]

WDYM. It's in the patch notes

[wind oxide]

Mehehehe

[worldly pewter]

jp finished the maint before en

[eternal moth]

Yes, it's coming after maintenance

Also, Lion is no longer going to cause CV detection on firing

[lyric night]

Nice 🗿

[cunning bison]

wait i don't understand...

[eternal moth]

Essentially if you have more than one skin for PR ships you'll be able to show off more than 1

[cunning bison]

YES BREST

does it take up a sec. slot tho?

[eternal moth]

I don't know all the details, but based on the pic above it seems like it.

[cunning bison]

oh nevermind not good then i cant decide what 5 i want alrdy

[split gazelle]

just swap them everyday

[eternal moth]

Personally I just keep them on random anyways.

[cunning bison]

good idea, ty

[eternal moth]

If you want a specific list, you can turn on random and make a favorites list.

[cunning bison]

ah okay, thanks!

[woven star]

If they add another slot for guild ship model/skin this will good too

Cos now only first slot ship showing in guild

[eternal moth]

Next week we'll be getting the oath skins for Cheshire, Baltimore and Janus

[eternal basalt]

And Rock Shooter collab, and Cat Girl skin (and QoL changes)

[eternal moth]

Oh yeah, I'm really looking forward to the Nakh skin. Probably my favorite of the whole bunch TBH, although the free skin this week is pretty nice too.

[kindred arrow]

What is this QoL they're adding?

We don't know yet, gotcha

[eternal basalt]

Hmmm, last year it was just the Gear Lab update Guess they changed it to week 1

[hushed sorrel]

the skins from the anni should be still available right? for another week

ok why do i even ask i will see it in half a hour xP

[eternal moth]

Which collab?

[hushed sorrel]

you are right i meant the anni

[eternal moth]

Then yeah, you've got another 2 weeks. This update and next week's

Current event should end on the 11th/12th.

[hushed sorrel]

thats more than enough time :)

[eternal basalt]

2 weeks

Seems we get 6 projections: Lvl 120, Dev30, 200 battles, Oath and 2 with gems

[white agate]

i did not understand half of it

[woven star]

How many ships they announced for Rock Shooter colab?

3? Or more

[cobalt rapids]

2

[brave plume]

I think just the 2 for Black Rock Shooter collab

[woven star]

Dam. Hope one of it will be bb as like "shooter"

[white agate]

2, the other would be atelie collab but we don't know when it will be

[brave plume]

Does anyone remember who is supposed to be replacing Hornet for Meta Showcase?

[cobalt rapids]

kawakaze

[brave plume]

Thanks

[eternal basalt]

Check the patchnotes then

[white agate]

i mean, i know about the dev 30 missions and the projections and possibly the oath skins, bit not the 200 battles and the level 120

[agile patrol]

Hi! I started this game a while back (year++), but I quit sometime I don't remember

I want to come back, but I really really don't remember where to begin, start or what to do.. Can someone please give me a rundown?

How many ships do I build daily? What ships do I build to complete the daily quest? What am I supposed to grind? What stage do I grind? What's my goal right now? ......(insert 100 more questions here...)....

(Screenshots above just to give you an idea of where I am ^^^. Please pretend I know nothing, because I really do not.)

[eternal moth]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips Read over this, and if you still have questions, feel free to ask.

[agile patrol]

Thank you!

[agile patrol]

ouh... i remember constantly trying to farm gear
woops..

[kind slate]

why does the ui look kinda weird

[agile patrol]

okay so what i get from this is

just do dailies
use 1 cube on light ship construction for the daily quest
push to chapter 9
don't farm gears from regular stages because bad
for exp and stuff, farm the highest level stage you can up until chapter 9
did i read correctly

oh yeah and

do events
buy the priority stuff listed in the guide from the event shops

[eternal moth]

That's a pretty good summation, yeah

[wind hazel]

you can ignore the 1 cube on light for now. gamble every cube you have on Lion, get lion then you can go back to the 1 Light daily

[eternal moth]

Feel free to pull on the current banner, though, as Lion is REALLY good. Once you get her, it's up to you whether you want to keep pulling for the rest of the ships or save for the next event.

[eternal basalt]

Best is 3 a day

[fleet berry]

Seems like they changed the font size. My font in size in the mission tab is bigger than before.

[sinful escarp]

there is also a wishing well right now. so you can choose light build on it for an added chance for ships you dont have

but only do that after you get lion from the event build

[eternal moth]

Wait, am I going to have to go through and check every single ship I own to add them to random secretary list?

[agile patrol]

im gonna dump it all into lion 🔥

this is the best idea ever.

[boreal wagon]

there is a faster way to do it in settings always has been

[agile patrol]

im totally going to get a good ship from this. im so good at gambling. watch.

[sinful escarp]

azur lane rng is better than most gacha so no need to worry too much

[quasi delta]

I kind of dont get what this skin projection feature with pr ships is about... is it just to display their different skins as secretary or am i missing something?

[kind slate]

hmm. i swear the missions are different as well

[agile patrol]

i forgot what the chances are for gacha
what are the chances i get a UR? and is there a 5050?

[eternal moth]

Oh, that's only for rotation list, got it.

[boreal wagon]

the missions are still the same thats a different (and new) menu for skin projections

[eternal basalt]

Cause it's a different UI

[eternal moth]

1.2% for a UR, with a pity at 200 pulls

[hushed sorrel]

azur lane is really fair. if you got into the game you will have enough cubes. just the start is difficult

[agile patrol]

nvm im never gonna get her.
i have 27 cubes 🔥

[kind slate]

what it do

[eternal moth]

Never say never.

[sinful escarp]

there is still 2 weeks till event end

[hushed sorrel]

its 67 pulls on average

[agile patrol]

oh and
do i use quick finishers? when do i use them theoretically?

[boreal wagon]

it allows you to create a projection of any given PR ship for the purpose of having a different skin of it as your secretary

[sinful escarp]

use them whenever you want, you get more than enough

[hushed sorrel]

always since you get them lots

[eternal moth]

Do all your dailies, and try to finish as many chapters of the newcomer missions as you can. They give a pretty significant number of cubes

[agile patrol]

got it. thanks!!!

[kind slate]

oh so theoretically you could have 6 of the same ship but with different skins on ur secretary page? (if they even have 6 skins)

[loud scarab]

this is the cost right?

[fleet berry]

I thought this was the requirement for each copy (ie 1st copy is by getting them to lv120, second copy by getting them to D30, etc). It actually is the requirement for each copy .

[knotty dome]

it's pr only? any news of non prs?

[boreal wagon]

the last two cost gems the rest are free

non PRs can already do this by just having dupes of them

[fleet berry]

Oh, nope. I misread it.

[fickle garnet]

yes, its for each ship

[hushed sorrel]

for what is that projection stuff?

[knotty dome]

oh... i dont have dupes because of dock space, thats unfortunate

[boreal wagon]

read the entire conversation just now

[eternal basalt]

#game-feedback Get them to implent with all ships

[fleet berry]

I misread it, actually finishing one of the mission will unlock one copy.

[fickle garnet]

if you wanna unlock all projection slot you have to pay 1000 gems in total
600 gems for the ring + 200 gems for each slot 5&6

[hushed sorrel]

you can wait a bit. we get one ring each en anni

[fleet berry]

Nah, I just tried it. One mission = one copy. So you can ignore the Oathing and the two extra gems if you don't need six copies.

[gusty maple]

wtf this p2w projection

[opaque gate]

B-13 130 gun good?

[eternal basalt]

No PR ship got 6 skins though

[gusty maple]

can ya all just have 10 ships copies for every skin

[fickle garnet]

you can if you don't wanna unlock all slots

[eternal basalt]

You can have 3 totally free

[fleet berry]

Yeah, I thought at first that to unlock a projection, I have to pay 1000 gems. But it's not, the first three are free.

[kind slate]

oh yea the font size. looks kinda dookie ngl. can i change it back

[fickle garnet]

that would be ridiculous

[dawn zealot]

Can't have dupes of research ships.

[eternal moth]

Where do you even go to unlock the slots?

[boreal wagon]

shipyard

[eternal basalt]

PR dev page

[fickle garnet]

just let us make more copies of pr ships

[boreal wagon]

thats literally what this feature is basically

[fickle garnet]

I want more Ibukis

[hushed sorrel]

recycle

[eternal basalt]

Well, now you can have 7

[fickle garnet]

but what if I want 1 ibuki in each opsi fleet?

[boreal wagon]

opsi doesnt allow dupes to begin with

[fickle garnet]

rip the dream

[eternal basalt]

Ibuki-chan, Ibuki MUSE, Ibuki META

[balmy skiff]

guys what the sigma is the new skin dev?

[storm olive]

It's also changed in the dock menu, the opsi text for ships that are in your opsi fleet is now too big and overlaps the next ship

[loud scarab]

ehm, where do i see the projections after i unlock them in the pr menu?

[dawn zealot]

Just a way to be able to showcase multiple skins (that you bought) for a specific research ship that you got.

[loud scarab]

oh there is a manage projection button

[eternal basalt]

Secretary screen, bottom left

[opaque gate]

is there an update to whatcshould we prioritize on coredata?

[fleet berry]

Yeah, just found it. Also, just realised that it is more of #al-general rather than GPH.

[gusty maple]

there is no option "just use any random l2d skin ship"
instead, some overcomplicated niche solution for few peoples?

[eternal basalt]

I wish they used the original plan for "random secretary"

[hardy garnet]

so i activated two skins on my agir how do i add two skins to the rotation ?

[dawn zealot]

select the ✅ on the skin slot

[loud scarab]

can they only be added to the random list? cant i select a pr ship multiple times in the secretary screen?

[gusty maple]

so thing just changes skin in battle? or on main menu

[hardy garnet]

thanks !

[boreal wagon]

click on a secretary slot the projections on the left side

[ornate narwhal]

As a beginner how should I put the npc ship on my team?

[raw ravine]

little agir any good?

[loud scarab]

ok it was in a follow up menu i found it

[hardy garnet]

yup the tiny ass tick will add the skins to random secratary rotation it's so hard to find lol

[wind hazel]

for a beginner she's pretty good

[warped acorn]

lil agir better than portland right thinking to replace portland with her 🤔

[hushed sorrel]

should be in your dock. so like any other

[eternal basalt]

First slot ALWAYS

[ornate narwhal]

Ok how should I lvl her up my team is lvl 60 and she’s lvl 1

[barren sky]

actually insane they put a 400 gem price tag on this

[agile patrol]

@eternal moth
I don't remember handbook existing when I used to play.. I assume it's a new thing

But why does it say I didn't complete stage 1-1 yet?? there are so many things uncompleted when.. they should be

[eternal basalt]

Then dont pay it No ship got 6 skins

[hushed sorrel]

best with exp books. if you are whale you can put her in the dorm

[late flame]

cheshire soon

[eternal moth]

They just re-did the beginner missions, so everything was reset. Just beat the boss once for that one.

[dawn zealot]

You can get 4 skin slots for free already. 400 for the extra 2 is fair imo.

[wind hazel]

you can't dorm the NPC

[eternal basalt]

It says you need to beat the boss, not complete the stage

[agile patrol]

ohh
they reset the beginner stuff
free cubes i guess??

[hushed sorrel]

oh not? sorry my mistake

[eternal basalt]

4th not really free if oath

[dawn zealot]

Oh yeah

[eternal moth]

3 is still more than fair IMO, as it's pretty rare that you'll have 3 skins for a single ship

[little tree]

💳

[eternal basalt]

looks at Janus or Pamiat'

[late flame]

agir, anchorage, haku, harbin, cheshire i think will be worth

[eternal moth]

Or my 5 copies of NJ, each with a different skin

[pseudo hearth]

It isn’t explained very well in the game, but what does skin projection do?

[eternal moth]

Lets you use multiple skins of PR ships in secretary rotation

[loud scarab]

also, if you set up a projection in your secretary slot you have to unselect it first, you cant simply change to another ship

[whole crypt]

but yeh no PR/DR has 6 yet

[white turret]

is it just me or is 3 starring campaign stages in one try basically impossible for a newbie? i never defeat enough enemies even tho my ships dont struggle at all

[late flame]

like so

phew imagine if unicorn was PR

[eternal moth]

They're designed to require multiple runs through the stage

[white turret]

oh okay makes sense, i was wondering whether i was doing something wrong or not

[eternal moth]

You'll kill everything on the first run-through, and then go back in and kill enemies until you have enough

[white turret]

also is the only way to get ship exp via running stages?

[eternal moth]

First floor dorm, commissions, and XP books once you get a ship to 100

[eternal basalt]

Meant to say PR ship. My bad

[hushed sorrel]

pretty sure the xp books are available in the season pass too

[late flame]

pfft apparently opsi doesnt count for skin projection sortie

[white turret]

ah okay ty

[whole crypt]

in due course I guess, most now is fake cat?

[late heron]

whats the skin projection?
this has most definitely been asked 2085 times now lmao

[wind hazel]

💀

[ornate narwhal]

Is souryuu better than LI

[eternal moth]

She's tied with Monarch, although her oath skin releasing next week will put her back on top

[late flame]

Long* island is a low bar to beat though

[eternal basalt]

No, it's PURELY for skins

[ornate narwhal]

It’s what I’m using now

[frosty gate]

Will the current skin batches be present for 2025 black friday ?

[eternal moth]

Actually, Ibuki has 4 as well

[dawn zealot]

Monarch and Ibuki got 4 skins

[hushed sorrel]

the event skins not. the standard skins and maybe other will be available

[eternal moth]

So does Haku

[late flame]

yeah i meant opsi doesnt count as sortie

agir, anchorage are also in the running

and harbin

[eternal basalt]

Same for personal secretary missions

[ornate narwhal]

So should I switch out LI?

[wind hazel]

depends

[ornate narwhal]

On what

[wind hazel]

whether you've leveled and limit break her up far enough or not

[zinc axle]

Probably has been asked already
But can Somebody explain the skin projection for me?

[eternal moth]

Scroll up

[ornate narwhal]

I can use books to lvl her up

[serene moth]

https://tenor.com/view/new-jersey-gif-1452662310833629741

[wind hazel]

that's not what im asking lol

can you screenshot your dock, would be easier

[wind hazel]

no, just keep LI

[ornate narwhal]

Oh ok only problem is I can’t do hard mode since I don’t have a CV

[wind hazel]

then i guess you have to use souryuu lol

[eternal basalt]

You GET one next week

[wind hazel]

or fill your fleet on 2nd fleet if they fit the requirement

[ornate narwhal]

Wait she’s a CV?

[late flame]

yes

[zinc axle]

Ah yes

[ornate narwhal]

Wait what? Is she better than Souryuu?

[zinc axle]

Kinda useless isnt it? For 1000 gems

[storm olive]

Does royal oaks second skill damage redirection get affected by her own Eva rate?

[eternal basalt]

[ornate narwhal]

So should i wait?

[wind hazel]

no

[eternal basalt]

But likely since Souryuu is 2018

[wind hazel]

do your hard mode everyday, dont skip it

if using souryuu now allow you to do hard mode, then do it

[warped acorn]

thinking to fully replace portland with lil agir, is it a good idea 🤔

[unborn sun]

How do i do this?

[wind hazel]

go to your dock, filter [retrofit available], do it 3 times. recommend on unicorn

[crimson marsh]

i cant place little agir in the dorm to rest, is that normal or?

[gilded wind]

someone know where you get this skin?

[wind hazel]

she's still an NPC for now

[crimson marsh]

okie doke thanks

[boreal wagon]

you have to buy a real life good (a ring pack that i have no idea where its being sold)

but supposedly according to CN the skin is going to be available in game for a week in june but i cannot tell you if EN also gets that

[eternal basalt]

You need to buy a ring

[hushed sorrel]

thats not the oath skin. its the one right next to it

[eternal basalt]

A real-life ring

Like Le Terrible

[hushed sorrel]

CN 8th Anniversary Commemorative Ring Set Bonus
thats funny but i like it

[late flame]

yeah
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Illustrious/Gallery#tabber-tabpanel-Sweet_Afternoon_Teatime-0

[warped acorn]

time to wait for ppl to test lil agir 🤔

[kind slate]

is this fleet fine for 14-4

[hushed sorrel]

i cannot answer that but i would atleast fully equip the augments

[hardy creek]

Volga is good as a secondary healer along with uni right?

[wind hazel]

put hedgehog on mob

[kind slate]

ill put it on z52

[wind hazel]

and uh.. parallel torp on shinano

2nd hp aux for laffey as well, actually move z52 here and put laffey mob

and squeeze shimanto in the middle

[kind slate]

what was parallel planes again

[wind hazel]

wyvern, breguet

[silk sphinx]

cleaning up storage, can someone tell me why i have 20 blue fba 19s?

all from chen hai and hwah jah dupes?

[storm olive]

Is that the Chinese carrier stock equips that need a code to scrap

[late flame]

probably

[silk sphinx]

ye

[storm olive]

Yeah it'll be dupes then

[silk sphinx]

i don't remember getting that many but yeah 20 is too much...

[kind slate]

dont have any spare of those

[whole crypt]

they'll sell the skin separate of the ring too

[wind hazel]

do you have white vit2

[whole crypt]

I think JP posted about it too so the skin will likely come to JP/EN

[late flame]

yeah happened to see it

[kind slate]

the vk 107? i can make 4

[whole crypt]

easier to ask folks who moonread/moonspeak

[wind hazel]

make 1 and put it on volga. give shinano the wyvern

[eternal basalt]

Guess that's why it shows rather than be hidden, like Terrible's

[crimson marsh]

W

[wind hazel]

or buy a breguet from core shop if you can afford it

breguet is better

[late flame]

maybe devs realised it was a...terrible decision

[plain saffron]

Probably because it doesn't get scrapped with the rest when retiring the ship

[kind slate]

ill buy one then

[silk sphinx]

looks fine tbh (following mori's edits) although consider more torp bulges

[serene moth]

Hard siren arbeiter/boss

[mellow cape]

What is this.... Skin projection

[wind hazel]

ctrl+F skin projection and read

[kind slate]

hmm. should i replace the rudders or medkits

[silk sphinx]

follow what mori said

other than that, replace medkit (aka box, or toolbox)

[boreal wagon]

i said that

[whole crypt]

I did too

[wind hazel]

i did not

[whole crypt]

moonspeak ez

[warped acorn]

is this shit good

[undone plover]

not practically used afaik these days

[forest palm]

it's always been shit

[warped acorn]

oh...

[worldly pewter]

nice oxymoron there

[undone plover]

how did u even get this I am curious
isnt this from an earlier PR season?

[plain saffron]

[whole crypt]

D3

[wind hazel]

nah, shit can be good shit.

[forest palm]

this gun wasn't much better than the Twin 406 at the time of its release, and it also competed with the Twin 406 SKC

[undone plover]

oh I see

[whole crypt]

hood gun has become fairly common for event drop

[plain saffron]

is there anything big this patch? why 1gb

[wind hazel]

PR skins

[warped acorn]

lil agir or portland

[whole crypt]

possibly the PR skin system

[plain saffron]

1gb just for that

[whole crypt]

and new skins

[boreal wagon]

that and new skins

[kind slate]

this better? shinano forgot aug but

[mellow cape]

Maybe they fixed lion's detection thing lol

[worldly pewter]

300 if u are disabling the extra funny stuff

[whole crypt]

I don't datamine ask the datamine people if there's anything else

[wind hazel]

200mb PR skins, 100mb new skins, 700mb formidable skin

[plain saffron]

datamine people is there anything else\

[warped acorn]

dang

[whole crypt]

lumbering

[mellow cape]

Is lion's third skill just DMG reduction right?

A 10/10/6 lion should do it's full DMG potential?

[silk sphinx]

admittedly i don't get why they changed the PR skin system, just treat them like other ships

[undone plover]

looks good
shimanto can use faster torps for more defense but it is solid now anyway
not sure why agir on haz AA but shouldnt be a big problem
if not give her roomba as well
or italian twin90

[forest palm]

they should've just made PR/DR not take dock space

[late flame]

[silk sphinx]

meh making people pay for dock space is prob their gateway to more money

[plain saffron]

because you can only get 1 PR while you can get multiple of other ships

[silk sphinx]

already surprised they made META slots free, guess it's because you can't choose whether to accept them

[kind slate]

whats the rightmost haku skin looks nice

[warped acorn]

how much world can this fleet remain until

[silk sphinx]

fair enough

[raw ravine]

you can repalce nelson with one more cv

[plain saffron]

just bring back the originally planned random skin features

[raw ravine]

later worlds you need a lot of AA

[mellow cape]

Why not lion as the main ship?

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Hakuryuu/Gallery#tabber-tabpanel-Four_Fine_Layers-0

[warped acorn]

me when someone mentioned cv:

[mellow cape]

Oof

[warped acorn]

might just make a thread soon to fix my fleet (maybe)

[kind slate]

graaahhhhhh

[crimson marsh]

i dont really get what the new skin system is

[plain saffron]

PR can become many so you can use multiple skin of a PR ship in secretary

[late flame]

go shipyard

[crimson marsh]

ohhhh

[eager marsh]

Is Perseus as good as Unicorn?

[atomic abyss]

Closest alternative you have, but not at all as good

[eager marsh]

Do you think she's within 80% of Unicorn? Or less. I'm trying to figure out if building her is worth it. I already have unicorn maxed

[atomic abyss]

she's as good as long as your battles dont last longer than like, 15s

if it's longer she kinda falls off significantly

[late flame]

avi +2

[atomic abyss]

for endgame content you only ever need 1 primary healer

so if you level percy, it's maybe to level other things

[eager marsh]

Okay thanks, I got the rough idea. It just hurts my brain seeing unicorn hogging MVP and receiving 0 exp

[atomic abyss]

at that point the question should be "do i even need a healer"

[eternal basalt]

Zuihou is good too as Uni replacement, if you got her

[atomic abyss]

did you mean shouhou

[late flame]

zuihou

[eager marsh]

I'm farming 13-4 I would think I need healer

[atomic abyss]

not really

why farm 13-4 at all?

if you want bunker - there's hard mode

[eager marsh]

Is it bad? 😭 It's my highest stage, and coins feel rapidly filling up

[atomic abyss]

there's no point grinding a map if you're gonna be wasting exp

[eternal basalt]

12-4 is a lot easier, and fills the coffers just the same

[atomic abyss]

either you use strong enough stuff that dont need a healer to support them

or you raise another healer to hold off the inevitable waste of exp

[eager marsh]

Unicorn actually carrying the fleet I'm trying to level I think. I bring uni + 1 other cv for carry

[atomic abyss]

13-4 isnt that great for levelling to begin with

[silk sphinx]

it's mainly for coins + some cogs

[atomic abyss]

cos, the stuff you use there are already high levelled

[late flame]

its fun if you hate taihou

[atomic abyss]

the goals dont align with the actions

[silk sphinx]

side note, opsi hasn't changed in difficulty since years right?

still the same bosses and stats and skills since it was made?

[wheat ore]

i can't seem to clear the sp level in the event cuz i just run out of time, i'm not too sure if it's a gear issue because i know i don't have the best gear

[silk sphinx]

sp? overlevel and you're done

people here routinely 1:1 it

[wheat ore]

all my ships are level 120 tho

[wheat ore]

really?

[eager marsh]

Fair enough, my goals are kinda jumbled together, I just find 13-4 to satisfy most of mine at the same time

[silk sphinx]

i do so uh

[wheat ore]

idk what my issue is then

[silk sphinx]

post fleet ig, unicorn+some good vg ship should do well

[normal cedar]

are you losing to the boss or mob?

[silk sphinx]

boss fleet you should use another, something like a UR CV + some tank will do the trick

it's really not a hard sp stage

[wheat ore]

i'm losing to the boss, out of time, i only use 1 fleet and it's this

if i add a second fleet then i don't meet the requirements

[normal cedar]

you preferably wanna have a fleet 2 to fight the boss, it will be difficult else with the 0 ammo debuff I think

[wheat ore]

oh i see, i just don't have a godo enough second fleet yet in terms of level and also just gear in general

[silk sphinx]

admittedly i don't recall requirements since I use the same sp fleet for everything and didn't check

[agile patrol]

what does one do in this situation?
new player

[warped acorn]

the requirement is to have average lv 110 only

[silk sphinx]

retire, enhance

[agile patrol]

what do i retire?

[warped acorn]

anyways, thanks for reminding me that i forgot to do sp today

[silk sphinx]

you likely have some ships that need enhacing, do that

retiring is for when you have blues/elite dupes you don't need/don't want to use for limit breaking

[agile patrol]

okay so do i limit break just--- everything i have?

[silk sphinx]

or... when you're really endgame and have enhanced most/all of your ships, so you start retiring grays too

[agile patrol]

ohhh enhancinggg

i see now. use other ships to upgrade a specific ship...

[silk sphinx]

sure, i always lb first

[agile patrol]

LB before enhancing?

[silk sphinx]

most of my ships are all mlb, only have a couple blues left + gold to lb

[split gazelle]

just enhance for now

[grand solar]

Did anyone else experience a huge delay in the download as I seem romb3 stuck on this for the last five minutes?

[agile patrol]

okay ill enhance

[silk sphinx]

basically, if you have a ship dupe: limit break the original copy (for blue/purple/gold) if they're not mlb -> if they're already mlb then retire

for grey/common rarity ships you can still use them for limit breaking first, then use all the rest for enhancing

some grey ships are gacha only so uh yep

[silk sphinx]

nope but i have had issues lately with my emu (ldplayer)

[dim osprey]

Sorry for asking again. 😅
Is there anything to do with the current event coins when you've bought everything from the shop? I'm still exchanging these "hooks" for 1k coins but there is nothing to buy.

[woven star]

Time to stop

[slender turtle]

What exactly does this whole projection thing do for us that came out today?

[silk sphinx]

someone should just pin an answer for this

[dim osprey]

Aww okay. Thought maybe at the end they can be converted to normal coins.

[wind hazel]

😭 it's explained in the patch notes, but nobody reads patch notes

[regal lodge]

What’s this new thing about?

[slender turtle]

I can go read them ig, just thought i’d ask, np

[silk sphinx]

@dim osprey here,

means you can have multiple skins on secretary slot

[soft raft]

Basically lets you showcase multiple skins of research ships since naturally you cant get dupes of them

[silk sphinx]

since you can only have one copy of a pr ship, whereas others you can have multiple

[regal lodge]

Oh, I see

[normal cedar]

Any ideas for 12-1 mob fleet comp with bearn solo? Is it even possible with a lv 100 bearn?

[regal lodge]

Thx guys

[wind hazel]

why do you want bearn solo

[copper kestrel]

are pvp points reset?

[atomic abyss]

this isnt 2020 when you want solo backliner to sav oil

[wind hazel]

it was bugged it's fixed if you battle

[copper kestrel]

alr ty

[normal cedar]

so that she gets mvp , im grinding brest main fleet 1.2 Million exp now

[wind hazel]

put 2 more backline but remove their main gear

[atomic abyss]

or just use 3 frenches...

[wind hazel]

dont waste the exp

[normal cedar]

Too poor to have 3 french ship
Thanks, Ill try to see if removing gear gives mvp, else just give up on mvp for her ig

[undone plover]

Getting mvp at the expense of losing 2/6 of xp is not the move

[silk sphinx]

there's oilcap you know, and you save time by having full fleet clear...

and uh technically it would be losing 3.5/7.5 assuming non flag gets mvp

[atomic abyss]

something something get JB from merit shop

[normal cedar]

jb is not in the merit shop 💀

you meant medal i think

[atomic abyss]

oh yeah medal oops

[undone plover]

[wind hazel]

skipped gascogne?

[woven star]

I think I saw Litorio in shop

[atomic abyss]

litto is italian

[normal cedar]

I skipped everything, brest is my third pr ship after sanrui and anchorage...

[wind hazel]

[atomic abyss]

which is a, pretty dumb idea tbh

[undone plover]

Should work on agir/fdg first

[wind hazel]

waifu meta

[atomic abyss]

how many french VG do you even have beyond sanrui

[normal cedar]

L'Opiniâtre et Le Téméraire

[atomic abyss]

...yeah maybe do something else first

[wind hazel]

what's the reason for brest anyway

[ancient kettle]

Hey, anyone knows what the skin projection is? More of a curiosity tbh

[undone plover]

Agir is coinable
So is FdG
Can “skip” FdG if u have a lot of UR BB

[split gazelle]

deja vu

[silk sphinx]

ender pin something

[wind hazel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1092795014511349830.webp?size=56

[normal cedar]

i have more iris tech than ironblood...
brest cuz no better ship to research rn? im getting close to unlocking harbin tho

[wind hazel]

done all your PR1 ships?

[woven star]

True. I thought she one of two french

[undone plover]

That is fine then
Assuming u are still farming event
But if u are done with event I recommend working on KMS tech

[atomic abyss]

allows a PR ship to display multiple sklins

[ancient kettle]

Gotcha, thanks!

[normal cedar]

I did sanrui, monarch, neptune (not spend the coins+cubes to unlock the latter 2 tho)
Ibuki, Izumo, Roon I haven't unlocked

[wind hazel]

should do Roon

[atomic abyss]

ibuki and roon

[undone plover]

Actually probably do champagne before brest
It will help for brest cdc and she is good tech
U also need to dev a pr3 ship at some point

Champagne can use eagle union for cdc

[atomic abyss]

chesh is a step for ply at that point

[undone plover]

RN cdc is but chesh also not a bad idea

[normal cedar]

can you even use champagne with 0lb tho? I was doing champ before brest but gave up

[atomic abyss]

RN cdc is pain
Pray tell, what event are we in now?

[undone plover]

She works for farming xp yes
12-1 is easy

[silk sphinx]

almost anything works for farming in w12 in a full ok level fleet

[undone plover]

I mean they are mostly useless to get xp on
It is not impossible just annoying cuz vanguard ships and useless tech at that

[silk sphinx]

and tbh it's fine to farm with one or two non lbd ships

[wind hazel]

you need to compensate with good gear and good vanguard

and probably slightly more level than usual

[normal cedar]

ohh I see, thanks then ill do that!

[undone plover]

And like I said when u are done with event go work on KMS tech

[elfin hollow]

whats skin projection?

[wind hazel]

[plain saffron]

Isn't there a tutorial explaining exactly what it is ingame

[stark quiver]

[undone plover]

Fake pr duplicate for secretary

[elfin hollow]

yeah but is it new?, or am i dumb cos it only just popped up now

[plain saffron]

It is new

[undone plover]

It is new

U also get 3 free copies dont get the ones for gems unless u want to for some reason

[elfin hollow]

ah ok my bad then lol i thought my game was dumb and only just showed me the tutorial now

but i thought maybe i needed a skin to use it

[kind slate]

how much of a difficulty spike is w15 compared to w14?

[silk sphinx]

w15 is the hardest content in game rn

[atomic abyss]

bigger than 13 to 14

[silk sphinx]

w14... is forgettable at this point for a lot of endgame players

i remember some gph elders having trouble when it came out

[honest stirrup]

a little something called powercreep

[silk sphinx]

yeah... iirc guam and laffii came out after

[honest stirrup]

I'm fairly certain there wasn't a single UR DD before W15

i forgor shima 💀 but she barely counts since she isn't really good in campaigns

[atomic abyss]

guam and laff2 came out like 2 mths after 15

[wind hazel]

i'm fairly certain there wasn't a single UR CL gacha before w15

[silk sphinx]

so yep it's substantially easier now, but w15 will still be somewhat of a challenge even for the best accounts, you'll need gearing and a bit of setup

[honest stirrup]

imagine w16 and still no UR gacha CL

[silk sphinx]

meh they're churning out URs pretty fast now, I'm sure we'll see one soon

[little tree]

What about sandy

Smh

[atomic abyss]

gacha

[wind hazel]

she's gold by default

[wet badge]

Whats a skin projection

[atomic abyss]

allows you to use multiple skins for research ships as secretary

[silk sphinx]

can also pin this image from nomis:
With the <Skin Projection> feature, you can use multiple skins of a PR/DR ship in secretary
2 free, 1 conditionally free (need to oath), 2 each for 200 gems, so in total can have six diff skins of a pr ship in secretary

[gray bane]

does yuubari XP boost counts for azuma XP gain?

[silk sphinx]

yes

[gray bane]

ty

[elfin hollow]

oh so you need a skin for that ship for it to be useful, i guess that was my question

[wet badge]

What ur carrier fleet comp should i use for harbiter

[kind slate]

im using this squad rn, but i find that the backline for boss gets pretty low before the boss appears. what do i do

[atomic abyss]

amagi haku rumey ig
since impla isnt levelled
will need kaza and eld retro

[undone plover]

How viable is zwei as a CV stopper
Is she better than avp?

[atomic abyss]

in terms of raw dmg maybe

[undone plover]

More curious is her black hole good or too short? For 2 CV

[wet badge]

Kaza as in kazan?

[atomic abyss]

kazagumo

[wet badge]

Btw if i did have implac mlb should i use her over rumey

[atomic abyss]

yes

[kind slate]

can someone help?

[atomic abyss]

for what exactly

[soft raft]

yeah what content is that for

we cant exactly help diaganose your problem if you just say "My fleet is getting wrecked"

[kind slate]

im doing 14-4 sorry i didnt say that in the msg.

[nova hawk]

does the game have a pc version

[atomic abyss]

no, emulator only

[nova hawk]

man that sucks, thanks

[atomic abyss]

use 2 CV not 2 BB for boss
