[hollow gust]

why.......

[blissful sigil]

increase lvl cap...

[viscid swift]

here's a tip to start, don't spread your UR bullins around like that

[hollow gust]

level one ship at a time, instead of a OP Lion right now you have 4 useless fucks

[viscid swift]

you know URs aren't level capped by limit breaks right

[blissful sigil]

ehh???

[viscid swift]

also*

[blissful sigil]

oh damn... reading their skills and looking at their stats, they seem quite op from what ive obtained

so i spread my bullins to uhhh lvl cap and more stats

[hollow gust]

every ship needs their limitbreaks, no limitbreaks all the stas in the world are useless as fuck

[viscid swift]

anyway, Trafalgar, Shimakaze, and Vanguard get dropped

consolidate into one fleet for now consisting of
Lion, Huan Ch'ang, Unicorn, Portland, Laffey, Z23

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/dayonetips/guildshop

also read through that

[whole crypt]

@hollow gust which BBs was it again, BZ Lion and Als?

[hollow gust]

for what?

[blissful sigil]

so from what ive learnt so far, retrofit is better than URs that arent fully limit break. that means ships like Z23, Unicorn, portland and San Diego are really good and i should use em until they are MLB?

[whole crypt]

HorM

[hollow gust]

yeah thats what i used

i pulled out a 500k oneshot on lion this morning lul

[viscid swift]

no, I mean a max limit broken ship is almost always better than a ship that's partially limit broken, including URs

[whole crypt]

[swift hornet]

currently using VV, aquila, unicorn, unzen, changchun, and scylla in my OPSI mob fleet, would FDG be better than VV?

[viscid swift]

yes

[hollow gust]

Lion Bz Alsace Plymouth Trafalgar

[whole crypt]

52/traf/ply is basically confirmed kill isn't it

[hollow gust]

should be, unless all of them start aiming at the water

[flint sonnet]

New player here What ships can I use the new ur weapon from the event shop on?

[viscid swift]

battleships

[sweet delta]

But does it beat 4 la9s with 99% win rate?

[warped acorn]

why 52 🤔

[sweet delta]

Why not

[warped acorn]

well....

[woeful token]

Is the new skin projection thingy not compatible with random Secretary?

[wind oxide]

Just for the ships in shipyard

[soft raft]

it's only for research ships since it's impossible to get dupes of them

[woeful token]

No, the randomly pick secretary feature.

[soft raft]

hmmm
I dont own paid skins so I cant test it mysef so idk

[whole crypt]

I got around to 4 +13s it's more like 95% on assists

a few days to see if BB is any better

[hard mesa]

Hope this helps

[woeful token]

I was blind, it wanted the check marks ticked.

[warped acorn]

how good is ches at w10+

[tawdry halo]

hi chat, how good is lil agir as tanker

and how good is the actual Hood's gun

[pseudo hearth]

Are you tanking with Unzen?

Oh I just realized how long ago that message was

[ornate narwhal]

Are trinity glorious or renown good?

[viscid swift]

Trinity?

[warped acorn]

trinidad prob

[ornate narwhal]

Wait oops autocorrect💀

[pseudo hearth]

Renown is not really good at all

[viscid swift]

slighty better than Portland and shit

[elfin nimbus]

You can use her if you like but no point since there not alot of AA on the map

[warped acorn]

well i mean w10 and above

[pseudo hearth]

Normal Glorious also isn’t that great, because she actually has less planes than most CVs.

[warped acorn]

anyways do u think i can get her if i only do this

[viscid swift]

Yes

[warped acorn]

dang

[ornate narwhal]

And I’m guessing Trinidad isn’t good since she’s given out for free?

[elfin nimbus]

W12/13/15+ you can use AA units. W14 more to DD/CB and asw

[viscid swift]

she's not that good but not because she's free

[warped acorn]

oh

[viscid swift]

Trafalgar is free after all

[pseudo hearth]

Trinidad seemingly actually doesn’t look that bad for a CL, I can see use for her if you don’t really have any vanguard MLBd SSRs. But I don’t doubt most SSRs will be better than her.

[ornate narwhal]

My only CL rn is Helena so is she better?

Oh I also just got San Diego but I haven’t upgraded her yet

[pseudo hearth]

Helena is really good, and I’d recommend you retrofit Helena once you’re further into the game. However, Helena is specifically good for Boss fleets.

[ornate narwhal]

Ah ok

[pseudo hearth]

Helena is a debuffer for bossing

[tawdry halo]

Helena is really recommended for boss fleet, while Sandy is an AA specialist

[ornate narwhal]

Ok anyways I don’t have either of their retrofits and San Diego is lvl 5

[warped acorn]

how is this fleet for now?

[viscid swift]

why are you spreading your bullins around

between Lion and Trafalgar

[weary gust]

Move portland to front.

[warped acorn]

oh, i alr mlb lion just now going do traf once i have enough gold

[pseudo hearth]

She’ll take a while to get going. And if you wanna make her actually a force to be reckoned with, she’ll also need her retrofit, which is a HUGE investment. It’ll be a good while before that.

[viscid swift]

fair enough then

well that asside, for what exactly

[warped acorn]

might just make a thread at this point to use up some bulins for dock space saving

[warped acorn]

in general maybe, wouldnt like to focus making a fleet only for opsi/boss etc

[pseudo hearth]

So, you probably can use Trinidad right now, I don’t know if you’ve started using two fleets yet or not though.

[viscid swift]

still don't get what people mean by general

when I hear general, I hear everything and a fleet for everything is borderline impossible

[warped acorn]

🤔

[viscid swift]

and if you include farming very wasteful

[ornate narwhal]

I haven’t bc I stopped progressing in the story to farm B3 in the hopes of getting the meta ship

[viscid swift]

take this from someone who has done a lot of B3 farming, you're probably not gonna get her

[ornate narwhal]

Tru but I still need to get more to get the UR and rainbow weapon

Rn I’m at 5k after buying all the tier 4 packs bc I lit have no gear

[pseudo hearth]

Does B3 and D3 have different rates?

[viscid swift]

I can't confirm but I strongly suspect it at this point

[viscid swift]

why did you buy the tech boxes before all of that....

[pseudo hearth]

Ah because I was gonna say, I hadn’t even hit 50 clears yet through D3 and I MLBd her. Idk, I think it might just be the luck of the draw.

[ornate narwhal]

I lit started 2 days ago so I don’t have any gear

[viscid swift]

still shouldn't have prioritized the tech boxes

[ornate narwhal]

Oh oops…

[viscid swift]

because with that 4800 tokens you could have bought the lion gun right now

[ornate narwhal]

[pseudo hearth]

There’s plenty of other ways to get gear in the meantime, normally the best things to grab from the event shop are new weapons and new ships. Especially in this case for the weapon, seeing how it’s a top tier BB gun.

[ornate narwhal]

Ok well what’s done is done…I can’t change what I did…

[pseudo hearth]

That’s fine. We all learn from mistakes

[ornate narwhal]

Well good to know for next time

[barren token]

there's still 2 weeks left

[warped acorn]

what should i buy after buying those dr prints (event)

[sweet delta]

[ornate narwhal]

Wait so I was right?

I was supposed to buy them?

[sweet delta]

No

[warped acorn]

consider 🤔

[pseudo hearth]

I’d argue you’d worry about doing this after the new weapon. I don’t think it’s wrong to get them, but the new event weapon is a better investment for later on. Especially since in this case they’re seemingly able to clear B3 quite well.

[ornate narwhal]

So how much should I farm the event? Ik I NEED to get the UR and the meta and the rainbow weapon but anything else?

[tawdry halo]

also, is the Hood's gun good

[rustic adder]

what does the PR projections do?

[tawdry halo]

and how good is Lil Agir in tanking

[barren token]

At 30k you can get a URlin

[ornate narwhal]

Oh ok…

[tawdry halo]

as much as you can utter with your oil, because the shop has alot of worthy things

Trafal DD and a copy of her, the BB gun, etc

[ornate narwhal]

I don’t have much rn I have 600 but I have the weekly 4000 and 1000 from the beginner bonus thing

[viscid swift]

bruh

[tawdry halo]

I didnt see the reply ping, apology

[tawdry halo]

so it's the same as Lil Anchorage 💀

[sweet delta]

The argument is that having the chance to get good gear will help you clear higher like D1 or even D3 or SP before the event ends, for greater rewards.
I think they should be above ship blueprints for new players, but tech boxes should NEVER be above unique limited stuff in the event

[ornate narwhal]

Oh ok

[noble fjord]

how do i pass this

[turbid marsh]

isn't that like... expected?

[tawdry halo]

I was expecting Lil Agir to be better than Lil Anchorage

[pseudo hearth]

Might not be what you wanna hear, but, you just need to be better. If you’re having trouble clearing it it’s either because you’re underleveled, undergeared, or have a mediocre fleet lineup.

[tawdry halo]

Apparently I'm craving for a tanker better than Lil Anchorage to invest in (for mobbing)

[noble fjord]

it’s the ammo

[ivory pawn]

Have you considered Big Anchorage?

[tawdry halo]

My man, you can still fight without ammo

[rustic adder]

have you considered UR tanks?

[soft raft]

you can still fight at 0 ammo

[pseudo hearth]

You can still attack things even if you’re out of ammo

[sweet delta]

A good leveled fleet will sail through out of ammo

[pseudo hearth]

You just do slightly less damage after you run out of ammo

[rustic adder]

50%

[worldly root]

should i take shinano or NJ from the rookie invitation

[noble fjord]

oh

[tawdry halo]

Not enough EU point to research

[sweet delta]

See Appendix A
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VJ12iQu8IdKQ0ss29c_KZ5BGk5BXT0mtwZoOuZMAuaE

[worldly root]

aight thanks will check it

[pseudo hearth]

Sounds like you need to do some grinding.

Idk by how much, so I can’t help you there

[sweet delta]

Search for "UR Ship Choice" section

[worldly root]

thanks

[tawdry halo]

Limitbreaking all the EU ships I currently have

(Which isnt alot...)

[turbid marsh]

then portland is enough. live happily in w13 and below

[pseudo hearth]

I will recommend, if you can grab any of the other USS Research ships those’ll help you get to the point goal as well obviously.

That’s more so beelining though. Portland or Little Anchorage should work great for now

[tawdry halo]

I guess I will need to play a long waiting game before I get actual good tankers to progress any further into campaign worlds

(I plan to make a long stop once I'm done with W12, I severely lack comp gears)

Buuuut I think I'm probably doing fine for now

Just a bit of the lv gap for Implacable and Helena to keep up due to them joining in a bit late comparing to the rest

[pseudo hearth]

I mean, if you can get a CB, that’ll be a big help.

[edgy iron]

Returning player do I still have enough time to get them

[stone sluice]

What’s next meta after Hornet?

[gray sphinx]

you have a week

[soft raft]

You've got 2 weeks left

[wind hazel]

kawakaze

[soft raft]

CN Anniv is always 3 weeks instead of the regular 2 due to it being exam season in China

[gray sphinx]

I thought the event stages close at 6/11 and then you have a week to buy anything with the points you have left?

[soft raft]

I thought that British BM was the next one

[glossy granite]

Focus on trafalgar and the gun

[wind hazel]

grenville is cruise meta

[glossy granite]

Do the minigames and dailys for the medals

[soft raft]

this event started last thrusday

[gray sphinx]

okay you have like 12 days then

[soft raft]

13 days left

[uncut horizon]

Any fleet comp suggestions for EX Hard Mode? (as well as equipments)

[wind hazel]

check #media-content

captain fluffs usually have them

[elfin nimbus]

kawakaze Meta. So use HE

[pseudo hearth]

If you can grind hard enough sure.

[gray sphinx]

I don't count today since the day is basically over. I live in UTC-7

[uncut horizon]

Oh sorry, I meant the event's EXTRA (Hard Mode)

[gray sphinx]

5 hours till reset

[wind hazel]

that's... what i was replying to

[zenith pebble]

cognitive arrays are found where?

[uncut horizon]

Oh yeah, I saw a vid after scrolling down a bit XD. Thanks!

[sharp socket]

EX hard is touhou gameplay, just activate your bullet hell skills and try it

[wind hazel]

daily raid, event, core data monthly, some other place i forgot

[gray sphinx]

as it should be

[uncut horizon]

Yeah, I'll try to memorize the patterns :3

[tawdry halo]

the touhou pain

[placid egret]

Has someone here managed to combine two Saratogas in the Shipgirl Game to see what they form?

[plain saffron]

She's the biggest one

[viscid swift]

Nothing

[hushed dawn]

Good cat or nah?

[tawdry halo]

are you serious with THAT amount of cat boxes?

[elfin nimbus]

Shop, event EX, map 13/14/15+

[hushed dawn]

Yes.

[sweet delta]

Decent for campaign, bad else

[tawdry halo]

you c-could train them to feed SR cats...

[elfin nimbus]

#avrora-general message

[hushed dawn]

I have an excess of SR cats that are level 30. My concern is rerolling for good or great cats so I can use the excess cats to feed them fast.

[slender python]

What happens with skin projection?

[tawdry halo]

you are NOT an anime main character

[slender python]

Ah ok thx

[hushed dawn]

What the hell does that mean.

[wind hazel]

it's the weekend, it's ghouling time

[tawdry halo]

oh I guess you dont watch those stuffs

[hushed dawn]

Can you like not reply if you're not gonna say anything of value.

[tawdry halo]

(I just have a curiosity of how the hell you get that many SR cats to call it an excess...)

[hushed dawn]

Okay outside of the Tempesta cats, this is as good as it gets so far.

[wind hazel]

good enough for now

[elfin nimbus]

^

[hushed dawn]

Yeah.

[wind hazel]

just pair with uh... the pink tempesta cat

[sweet delta]

Yeah uhh just use Drake and every

[slender python]

Which should i mlb lion/trafalgar/z52/mogador?

[placid egret]

Damn, Saratoga truly is the peak

[proper cypress]

is the daily list the best checklist of stuff to do everyday or has someone made a better checklist so as to not forget anything that should be done each day?

[wind hazel]

daily mission is good enough, check your shops on top of those and you're fine, i think

[sweet delta]

Daily missions plus spend oil on event or campaign plus whatever opsi you can stand

[wind hazel]

3D dorm has daily x3 energy too if you're into it...

[elfin nimbus]

Lion she help you out for buff/debuff

[slender python]

Who do i pair her with

[viscid swift]

depends on what you have and how many bullins but almost certainly lion

[slender python]

I can mlb 1

[viscid swift]

more so where you put her not who but she works in a lot of things

she is the highest damage battleship in the game pretty much

[slender python]

These are the ur i have

[viscid swift]

still lion

[pseudo hearth]

That many dupes sitting around is making my eye twitch.

[slender python]

What am i supposed to do with them

[wind hazel]

retire

[elfin nimbus]

Flex

[slender python]

Retire feels like a waste

[wind hazel]

having them rot in your dockspace is a waste of your dockspace

[slender python]

I have enough

[wind hazel]

if you say so

[proper cypress]

thanks

[mossy void]

I just came here to see if anyone did this because I was gonna post my how to video

[gray sphinx]

you say that but you got like 14 space rn . Probably isn't even enough space to do three auto search runs without having to throw out some fodder inbetween those three runs

[hollow gust]

prob should lol, people dont know how to read or look at pictures these days

[mossy void]

Very true lol

[hollow gust]

pass the link annd ill add to my text just incase

[mossy void]

Should I DM it or just send it here (don't want mods upset, just in case)

[hollow gust]

send it here and ping me, there will be people asking anyway

[plain saffron]

What's the order to read it

I read it right to left

[mossy void]

@hollow gust

https://youtu.be/SSVGeX5rTnc?si=5n6hlx7xg3poRA2I

[hollow gust]

[mossy void]

Left to right lol. Understandable though

[waxen valley]

when is bismark zwei coming

[hollow gust]

tbd

[viscid swift]

we don't know, probably soon

[mossy void]

Yeah it's soon. Not sure if right after this event or after BRS collab. At least rumored

[viscid swift]

has to be after the BRS collab

[waxen valley]

ty all

im super broke from this event tho ;-;

[slender python]

I have 50

[mossy void]

I did hear that the BRS collab are free characters. Idk if true, but if so, I don't see why they can't have both at the same time

[viscid swift]

well for one, the collab starts next week while the current event is still on going

and 2nd, yes they did explcitly say the 2 characters would be free in the stream

[mossy void]

I forgot this event was still going on ngl

[normal cedar]

looking at the ehp chart, brest seems to be a worse version of anchorage yet she is ranked S tier in harb and w14 while anchorage is A, why?

[hollow gust]

In exchange for a tiny bit of ehp she provides more damage and utility

[hard mesa]

Will we get nakhimov new skin as well or is it CN exlusive? Looks like its a collab thing

[hollow gust]

We getting free skin

[viscid swift]

dunno but in the past we've gotten all the CN collab skins

[wet badge]

what does trafalgar do

[vale spindle]

kfc collab we didn't get one of them

[vale spindle]

aa and damage and support

[spice vector]

how to finish this?

[wet badge]

is she better than z52 in dps?

[viscid swift]

no

[wet badge]

😭

[hollow gust]

huh hows that frontline dage so low, you run all defensive?

[viscid swift]

Get a ship to level 100 and fully enhance them

[viscid swift]

No

pretty sure that ended with around 10 seconds left on the clock

[hollow gust]

hmmm

[spice vector]

thanks man

[hollow gust]

maybe bc i was running only 2 vanguards

[sweet delta]

AA sharing

[gentle seal]

hello, need teambuilding advice if you dont mind?

[eager marsh]

shoot it

you might wanna start a thread and post your dock

[gentle seal]

okay

1335 days out dock

i did

[vital quest]

What's a better pair to NJ between lvl125 Sandy retro, and lvl125 Guam?

Similarly, is it better to have 3x super heavy cruisers in vanguard or 2x super heavy and 1x light cruiser?

[viscid swift]

uhh, context?

[tame orchid]

Is Z52 better than trafalgar

[vital quest]

Just in general for a complete US fleet

[viscid swift]

use the best ships that you have for the content you're tackling and don't generalize ship capabilties by hull type

[vital quest]

Ahh, so specialisation is better than generalisation

[viscid swift]

what exactly is general
because when you say general I here everything and building one fleet is darn near impssoble

[tame orchid]

Nvm it was answered above

[viscid swift]

yes

[sinful escarp]

generalization does not work here because of how different the later stages are

[vital quest]

Okay then, being specific to main stages, event, and OPS, basically ONLY PvE

[viscid swift]

which main campaign stage exactly, and what else fo you have to work with

the answer could very well be both or neither honestley

[vital quest]

At 13-2 rn

[viscid swift]

or maybe not even use NJ either

also usual disclaimer, faction fleets are merely self imposed handi caps

[vital quest]

Why? Is NJ not meta anymore?

[viscid swift]

she's over 4 years old and has been powercrept by virtually every UR BB that has come after her

[vital quest]

Damn, they did my GOAT so dirty 😢

[viscid swift]

she'll still work but there's absolutely better ships in 2025

[vital quest]

Aight give me a sec while I show my lineups

[viscid swift]

do it in a thread too

[cunning bison]

do i max lion first

[vital quest]

Bet

[viscid swift]

if you have 4 bullins yes

[vital quest]

Lineups for my dumbself

[cunning bison]

okay, thrn trafalgar?

[sweet delta]

NJ is in the top 10 of rainbow BB-likes

[viscid swift]

kinda depends on what other URs you have maxed

[cunning bison]

laffey ii, guam, nj, vanguard, biszwei, alsace

[viscid swift]

probably yeah

[silver lintel]

Is ykii obsolete now

[viscid swift]

no

but I value her a lot less for people without a few HVARs

[eager marsh]

do dorm comfort hv max point?

[wind hazel]

technically yes

[tame orchid]

Cant you only get it from the event?

[elfin nimbus]

Her gears are expensive as well , hvars are limited and gl getting 5 LA-9s if you want her to be a med armor killer

[eager marsh]

so if i say.. have 1000 comfort, exp bonus would be 1000/1000+100?

[viscid swift]

yes

[zenith pebble]

Hey yall, can someone help make a pr farming fleet for me?

[viscid swift]

I mean Bf-109Gs exist

[wind hazel]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Living_Area#Dorm

[silver lintel]

I thought ykii got outclassed by fritz

[viscid swift]

if it were me I'd go Chapayev, Avrora, and Voroshilov

[zenith pebble]

Could that get me through 12-4 as a mob?

[viscid swift]

well once they're a bit more leveled up quite easily

[wind hazel]

as long as your backline dont suck too

[zenith pebble]

Okie thx

[sharp socket]

voro is ok for a tank so put her in tank spot

[zenith pebble]

Backline musashi uni aquila

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 overkill

[sharp socket]

well you don't need to do that, you can farm tech in backline too

[zenith pebble]

I love being too well prepared lmao

[viscid swift]

the only carry you need is Akashi in W12

[tame orchid]

Are event only gear added to gear lab later?

[wind hazel]

sometimes gear lab, sometimes other place

[sharp socket]

either core shop or gear lab or both

[elfin nimbus]

Both play different playstyle

[elfin nimbus]

Or Vestal

[warped acorn]

whats the req to beat this guy up

[elfin nimbus]

She medium. So you want heavy AP

[warped acorn]

well cuz lose to her at 50 hp bar left 😔 what a shame

[wind hazel]

she's heavy actually, but same AP

[warped acorn]

due to overtime

no wonder ppl make certain fleets for opsi... but i dont think i have the power to make that....

[stark quiver]

i use my pvp fleet

[elfin nimbus]

I use: 1 mob and 3 boss fleet

Once you learn how gears and cat work next is synergy and timing.

[sharp pine]

Tfw you fail 8 radar scan procs in a row.

[steep sleet]

[steep sleet]

I see , thanks

[opaque gate]

is lion off flag?

[ancient kettle]

Is it worth to run Vanguard and Lion together in a boss fleet?

[elfin nimbus]

Yep, doesn't matter because her Barrage is center

[opaque gate]

thanks

[elfin nimbus]

Np

[stark quiver]

sure

[elfin nimbus]

If that all you have then yes

[ancient kettle]

I also have Bisk 2 and Alsace all maxed, is it better to run Lion with them instead?

[opaque gate]

is 460ur gun better than triple 406?

they are both AP

460ur +10 vs +13 triple 406

this is for lion

[reef flume]

460 is niche

[wind hazel]

more often no

[opaque gate]

ok, thanks!

[reef flume]

It is. But if you want to sync you'd want the 406mm UR

[opaque gate]

okok, so if syncing doeznt matter, then 460?

[reef flume]

The 460 is not as bad as many think, but its slow reload makes it a niche gun to use

[wind hazel]

why would syncing not matter

[reef flume]

Yeah if you don't care about sync (like me) yes

Make sure to know what you're doing tho

[opaque gate]

ok thanks, i dont sync since imcnot using helena rjght now

[wind hazel]

you still want to sync your BB

[reef flume]

Yeah

[opaque gate]

may i ask what the reason is? like what is the advantage

[wind hazel]

BB have their own buff debuff too you know lol

[reef flume]

Unless you're using double CV-BB

The 460 syncs better there

[opaque gate]

ok thanks

[elfin nimbus]

Lion job is the buff/debuff. She good with anyone of them

[sharp socket]

hi gph i need a 6th for opsi medium fleet

[ancient kettle]

Sweet, thanks

[wind hazel]

maybe traf

[slow fox]

-# ten rights at freddys

[sharp socket]

oh right i have 2 ddgs can i put fu shun/tai yuan there

[stark quiver]

ariake retrofit

[sharp socket]

or move sirius or something

im not going to change the fleets except their gearing which is why specific buffers like aurora isnt in there

[hollow gust]

Just use a fleet for just light

[waxen valley]

What do I get with this @wind hazel

[wind oxide]

the sextuple would be a better choice

[elfin nimbus]

^

[stark quiver]

it wouldnt

[elfin nimbus]

Or Champagne gun

[stark quiver]

how many prototype triple 406s do you have already, the furthest right gun

[wind hazel]

got champy gun? if not then get 2 of it

by 2 i mean 50 prints total

[waxen valley]

Which one is that

[stark quiver]

^

[waxen valley]

I don’t think I have any lmao

[rapid grail]

[stark quiver]

get it, or wait until you have 25 bps and then convert all of them into proto triple 406/champy gun as they call it

[waxen valley]

so I need 25 to make it

Rahhhhh

[robust jackal]

Does the PBY Catalina count as a sea plane for Halfords skills?

[maiden swift]

how do i unlock the SP stage for a rose on the high tower part 2?

[waxen valley]

Okay I got it yay

Do make two of these

[wind hazel]

/hardmode toggle B3 to D3

[elfin nimbus]

Do hard

[maiden swift]

oh alr thanks

[elfin nimbus]

No problem

[elfin nimbus]

Yes

Tho bearcat better

[robust jackal]

thank you

[elfin nimbus]

No problem

[stark quiver]

dont use halford at all is the real strat, unless you level her for waifu

[waxen valley]

Is the wep in the event shop for lion

[wind hazel]

it's for anyone

[solar lily]

the rainbow british 406?

[waxen valley]

Yes

[solar lily]

oh well, you can kinda use it on anyone

[waxen valley]

Ah okays thank you all for help

[solar lily]

cuz its like the best HE gun at the moment

[twilit crow]

could i set pr focus to monarch (alr fs5) or another ship that i finished from the coinable seasons after i finish them (4 i did anchorage shes fs2 now) so i can convert the blueprints to protocore or should i just try to get better ships like maybe plym after i mlb a few more hms ships (at 903 uss tech, 806 hms tech, ~200 ijn tech and ~400 kms tech)

[wind hazel]

you use the catchup for protocore farm, don't use focus

[twilit crow]

sorry yes i meant catchup

[wind hazel]

focus stays on 5 or 7 depending on what you're doing

ye just set the catchup to whatever dev30 ship you have

[twilit crow]

focus is 5 rn although i have no luck, at 20ish plygun prints after 4 months

[wind hazel]

20 4months sounds rough, are you picking q researches properly?

do you have plymouth done at least?

[twilit crow]

uh no i have 800 hms tech

[wind hazel]

her blueprints?

[twilit crow]

i think it was because up until 2 months ago i didnt have the resources to invest heavily into research, i started pr5 focus as soon as i hit lvl 30 skk but at that point i did not have enough plates to do anything especially aux plates

[waxen valley]

I’m confused with this

[quick mason]

Yall is the new UR main gun HE in event is fine good?

[twilit crow]

ye

[stark quiver]

?

[wind hazel]

i mean how many blueprints of plymouth do you have?

[solar lily]

i think its comparable if not better than the NJ gun

[stark quiver]

its for research lab

[mystic acorn]

When does event end? June 4 or June 11?

[quick mason]

I put it on my Vanguard

[solar lily]

defo one of the better HE guns out there

[twilit crow]

i have enough for dev 30 i think

[wind hazel]

/devbp

[odd root]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/460648604974055424/885529968455598170/unknown.png

[waxen valley]

Like its order of best thing to research?

[stark quiver]

yea

[waxen valley]

Thanks

[solar lily]

should i invest on the uhhhh champy gun

[quick mason]

My NJ is fully built

[solar lily]

i heard its good

[solar lily]

nice

[quick mason]

Heck yeah

[stark quiver]

invest what

[wind hazel]

depending on how many protocore you have and your gear, might want to consider dipping and change to pr7, and buy the rest of plygun print from shop instead

[solar lily]

406/50, the french one

[twilit crow]

i will have 513 after i finish the 150 catchup, ive been doing anchorage up until now i have around 380 plym prints

[quick mason]

You heard it right

[stark quiver]

invest how, +10? +13? craft?

[solar lily]

craft i mean

[stark quiver]

i mean yea, its good

[solar lily]

ight

[quick mason]

Yeahhh

[twilit crow]

i have 700 protocore and i got 1 champy gun already

[wind hazel]

yeeeeeeeeeea that aint gonna be enough, i guess you can stay in pr5 for a bit longer

dip as soon as you can get a plygun

[twilit crow]

what if by that point pr8 drops

[forest palm]

that's gonna be a July thing...

[twilit crow]

my luck tho

[stark quiver]

is it luck or bad research selection

[wind hazel]

get your champy, get your flandre gun, farm some protocore, then buy the rest of plygun required from shop. may or may not clash with pr8

[elfin nimbus]

Set your timer

[warped acorn]

timer:

[twilit crow]

uhhh my prio was plym face and then q

[wind hazel]

change it all to Q now

[stark quiver]

bro is never seeing pr7 💀

[wind hazel]

maybe pr8 gonna be bad

[twilit crow]

ive been so unlucky with those asw because i keep getting 3 h type

[stark quiver]

follow this from now on

[warped acorn]

ima

help dock/fleet (maybe?)

[twilit crow]

i see like 2 h type, 1 e type and then i refresh and then it becomes 1 h type and then 2 commission

[wind hazel]

2H E is good

[stark quiver]

i think they mean H as in coob

[wind hazel]

he said 1 E type

unless it's those shitty gearbox E

[twilit crow]

uhh i meant 2 H type and then 1 tech box E and then the other 2 projects were from like season 3 so i had no hope

[warped acorn]

someone help me see if my dock have any nice ships to replace any in current fleet 🙏

[blissful galleon]

Is Cleopatra any good? And also while I’m asking is sovyetka Belarussa good?

[twilit crow]

also if i cant get a la-9 even if i somehow get the plygun right now would it still be worth pr7ing because the other gold gear other than vit2 seems pretty niche

like i think maybe going to pr 4 to try to pick up both bf109 and saiun kai in the gap i may have between getting plygun and when pr 8 drops is better than praying on a la9 in this less than 2 month time frame

nvm im getting ahead of myself forget i said that, thats assuming i even get a plygun in this timeframe

[wind hazel]

no going back pr4 is not a good idea

get the rest with protocore at this point

[twilit crow]

alr

[wind hazel]

or gear lab, idk which one is more efficient 🫃🏼

[twilit crow]

well im still on chapter 3 of opsi so...

[stark quiver]

i do not think you can get a la9 in under 2 months

[twilit crow]

ye so im wondering what i should do after i get a plygun

if i get a plygun

[stark quiver]

how about getting a plygun first and then we decide

[twilit crow]

yeah that seems like a good idea

[stark quiver]

mayb pr8 is ass and u can go to pr7, or maybe pr8 is opaf and u stay in pr8

[twilit crow]

i thought even finals coudnt make me religous surely nothing else can

alr thank you all imma go check in on that last repeat 3 of d3 and then go to bed

[elfin nimbus]

If only that was easy

[gilded shale]

Is there a Raffaello gear guide?

[warped acorn]

if the first 20 sec didnt happens, then gotta wait for 20 sec again like gamble?

[wind hazel]

same as every other BB

except musashi

[elfin nimbus]

^need to be flagship because of her Barrage

She a mob ship

[ancient kettle]

For sure, I have 2-3 maxed out for that reason, it’s that good

[wind hazel]

her barrage is centered...

[jolly canyon]

how does skin dev work..?
I'm still confused..?

[gilded shale]

What about Lion?

[sweet delta]

same as every other BB
except musashi

[vale spindle]

check pins

[agile sky]

Is there a list/schedule of the last few opsi meta ship? Aksing cuz i dropped off opsi for a bit but looking now, im missing a few of the recent ones and i cant help but feel like i wasnt gone that long?

[atomic abyss]

After JintsuuM in dossier it would be

Kirov, Rodney, Wichita, Nagato, Taihou, Hornet

Kirov was here till March last year iirc

[arctic aspen]

my opsi team is hella outdated. What do I replace with whom?

My first priority is to have the strongest mob fleet possible, one that is so strong that it borders on being a bosser as well.
Note, I have no eldy retro lol

[atomic abyss]

We don't know who you have to replace stuff with

[sharp socket]

actually good opsi fleets holy hell
anyway that mob is fine, consider amagi cv replacing haku, lion replacing soyuz, and if you have nakhimov dev30 and fritz you can do soyuz nakhi fritz for 4th fleet and its a busted combo

that setup can probably already kill harby in 3 fleets, so gearing would be the issue if you cant kill harby
unless you're optimising for 1 fleet kill, then youd build specific fleet for that month every month

[hollow gust]

You can't suggest ships without knowing what the even have

[arctic aspen]

everyone except eldy retro

[hollow gust]

We don't know what you leveled and what is invested into

[sharp socket]

[arctic aspen]

bro

it doesnt matter, gay bulins are infinite and exp is free

[sharp socket]

the man speaks for himself

[arctic aspen]

the only possible wrench in this would be if there's a META ship that's broken that I forgot about

[sharp socket]

how many la-9s do you have and do you have dev30 nakhimov

[arctic aspen]

The squishy cat? she is dev30

[sharp socket]

does your current fleets kill harbiter or are you looking to kill harbiter faster

[hollow gust]

Swap out that shimakaze for any of the newer dps ships , Hindenburg is a solid replacement

Amagi Shinano Implacable Guam Kazagumo Sirius

Bismarck Lion Alsace Z52 Trafalgar Plymouth

Soyuz Nahkimov Fritz Laffey Aurora/Helena

or Kearsarge Yorktown Nahkimov Voroshilov Aurora Helena

Depending on armor type when Aurora isn't usable , such as medium you will need to pull out pocket picks such as Scylla to replace her

[arctic aspen]

Im looking for a mob fleet that sustains in stronghold all the way to the end, the current one also does this but sometimes when I have less of these things, it might end in a loss with a couple % hp of the boss remaining. faster arbiter clear comes second

[sharp socket]

if mob fleet has problems then its a gearing issue

[hollow gust]

Speed of clearing stronghold and damage against abyssals won't work the same

[arctic aspen]

Only on monthly reset

[hollow gust]

Save your abyssals till later in the month if you want the mob fleet to kill it safely

[paper ore]

are you doing strongholds with 0/0/0 on all stats? O_O

[sharp socket]

i haven't tried with preload torp setup so my experience might differ but my mob fleet runs anchorage tai yuan sandy and same backline and kills stronghold every time when max adapts

max adapts is 203/203/156 and is pretty easy to hit

either by just grinding or buying adapts in shop if impatient and want to fight stuff like a week after reset

[arctic aspen]

not exactly 0/0/0 but low yeah lol

[paper ore]

damn. I usually wait till I have like 150 on all atleast

[sharp socket]

well theres the problem, shouldn't do strongholds and such without max adapts cause you're just shooting yourself in the foot doing so

[paper ore]

2 days after reset

[hollow gust]

Get the tuning from exchange shop, you should be grinding more then enough to afford it

[arctic aspen]

thats the point, i'm trying to minmax so I can no brain it

even at low adapt

[paper ore]

understandable

[open harbor]

How long is the Royal Maids event going?

Is it really 2 more weeks? I lost track

Because there's several dates up

[sharp socket]

well unfortunately i don't have experience in doing that challenge so goose its up to you now

[hollow gust]

Royal maid event? If you mean lion banner then that's 11

[hollow gust]

Not sure where you are getting the other dates from

[open harbor]

Oh so it really is that long, got it, thanks

[open harbor]

iirc the claim dates for some other stuff is different

[hollow gust]

No? The shops and call to arms always have extended timers usually for a week longer

[arctic aspen]

rip brest and agir..

[atomic abyss]

Not feasible at low adapt
If you really want to no brain it
Do it at the end of the month when you will have lots of adapts

[arctic aspen]

every penny counts.

[atomic abyss]

You can't have your cake and eat it too

[arctic aspen]

all I'm looking for is something better than the last

I have lost autos with bosses at 3% hp which means 3% more damage is sufficient for me

[atomic abyss]

Then follow goose's recommendations

[arctic aspen]

already on it

[atomic abyss]

Still should do it at high adapt regardless

[sharp socket]

hold on now im curious
@slow fox can you calculate ehp of all harbiters when no adapts

[arctic aspen]

ignore the levels

[sharp socket]

how much harder is harbiter with no adapts vs max

[crimson glacier]

like night and day

[arctic aspen]

well I'm not trying to no brain it at 0/0/0 just whenever I see it after autoing the other things

[honest stirrup]

I'd put Implac at flagship depending on your gear

[arctic aspen]

alr done

thanks homies

[blissful hamlet]

What's the final evaluation for Trafalgar

[elfin nimbus]

Good ship. More Support then dmg

[blissful hamlet]

Better support than Z52?

[sharp socket]

probably not

[hollow gust]

Trafalgar trades dps for a more potent support ability

[blissful hamlet]

I don't care about their personal damage, I only care about the buff/debuff

[sharp socket]

needs further testing to see if the support is good

[hollow gust]

Especially with Plymouth and Lion she is the strongest support for the feet

[blissful hamlet]

Enough to ditch Z52

[woven star]

More HMS support ig

[cobalt rapids]

trafalgar has higher dmg contribution in a typical endgame fleet than z52 assuming ure not capping

[hollow gust]

[elfin nimbus]

Trafalgar and z52 has different role lol

[hollow gust]

Z52 is the tank

If you run a regular tank then that's a fat damage loss

[atomic abyss]

Just ignore him goose

He only listens to what he wants to hear

It's worse than talking to a brick wall

[fickle parcel]

Who tanks better, Z52 or Laffey2?

[sharp socket]

laff2

[elfin nimbus]

^

[sharp socket]

she provides tanking and AA but not damage

[fickle parcel]

tyty

Z52 provides damage as a tank?

[woven star]

With z52 problem and good thing it's her heal. Especially on some hardbiter this can fcup

Which convert heal to dmg

[cobalt rapids]

yes z52 dmg contribution to the team is much higher than laffiis

[fickle parcel]

tyty

[blissful hamlet]

Time to ditch agir

[elfin nimbus]

Trolling

Smh

[cobalt rapids]

z52 has been the default meta tank choice lately but it doesnt mean she can tank all content
ymmv depending on content

[blissful hamlet]

Agir is overkill as a tank, 90% case in opsi don't need agir as a tank

[solar lily]

speaking of, what does she do again

[cobalt rapids]

opsi doesnt need anything because its easy

[sharp socket]

agir has AB

[solar lily]

havent really looked too deep into her skills

[blissful hamlet]

Exactly why I'm ditching agir

[cobalt rapids]

she has mid dps with large team buff through her eva rate debuff and a decent hms buff

[solar lily]

o

[normal cedar]

I was told to switch from brest to champagne yesterday but I also have enough pts to do drake now
What should I do? I dont have any coinable dr yet either

[sharp socket]

no fdg?

[normal cedar]

no not yet

[sharp socket]

continue brest, champagne isnt anything special and neither is drake

[cobalt rapids]

even if u get drake she shouldnt be coined for long
u could get her for the collection hms tech pts for ply but try to prio getting fdg

[sharp socket]

drake is just catchup protocore material imo

[normal cedar]

ok thanks, ill continue farming event with brest development then

[solar lily]

where are you supposed to uhhh get proto core

aside from like analyzing Pr datapacks

[cobalt rapids]

converting catchup and analyzing datapacks

[sharp socket]

catchup convert prints

[solar lily]

o

wait catchup converting? how does that work

[sharp socket]

drake/azuma/pr2 is usually good for this because the ships aren't that good anyway

[cobalt rapids]

old players who are caught up on seasons will also get some from converting bps overflow at the end of the season

[cobalt rapids]

use coins to raise a ship to dev30 then start her catchup and convert all her bps to protocore

[sharp socket]

1. build ship with catchup but DON'T start catchup
2. dev30 with coins
3. start catchup
4. convert prints to protocore

[solar lily]

ohhhhhh

[solar lily]

ic

[slow fox]

The scaling between them is the same - because adapt does not affect enemy evasion stat.

As a result, we would only be multiplying the enemy's HP by something like 1.3/0.7, which results in a monotonic proportional increase of the enemy eHP.

[cobalt rapids]

is this true for the aa aswell ?

[ionic kraken]

you need 4 meta crystals per ship to max level right?

[slow fox]

It's asymptotically the same behavior for AA. The difference is the 1 in the 1 + AA/150 formula for AAeHP.

[paper ore]

yes

[ionic kraken]

ty is there any use if you get extra beyond 4?

[paper ore]

I dont think you can get beyond 4 but I could be wrong. I certainly havent gotten any beyond 4

[ionic kraken]

i have 2 glorious meta crystals from the building but you can buy 4 in shop so i was curious. i don't want to waste my event currency

[paper ore]

grind till the event ends. maybe you get more from map drops

[cobalt rapids]

they turn into meta currency at a rly low value

so yes no point getting beyond 4 from shop

[ionic kraken]

gotcha thank you all for the help ❤️

[quasi nymph]

is there any gun worth buying in the core data shop ?

[hollow gust]

No, they are all very low priority

/coredata

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/Core_Data_Priority.jpeg

[sharp socket]

twin 130 b2-lm (aka tashkent gun) is the best gold dd gun but other than that none of the guns are special

[cobalt rapids]

only for light ( also harbin gun exists )
if u really like tempestas u would probably want the 12 pounder if u didnt get the fortune packs

[stone cradle]

Is the twin kai an upgrade to the single 113/blue peashooter for barrage dependent UR DDs like z52? Or is it situational

[hollow gust]

It's far more important buying arrays and cogs eventually

[quasi nymph]

so i wll buy just another super heavy ap

[hollow gust]

No

Just use blue peashooter

Even the single 113 is a niche sidegrade for z52

[cobalt rapids]

its not an upgrade
100kai has very good dmg compared to peashooter and the blue one but its not as fast
really strong barragers like z52 and trafic prefer the fast ones because thats what maffs say

[stone cradle]

Good info thank you

[hollow gust]

More often then not the blue gun is the best gun

[sharp socket]

same mods and rld but 1 more damage

so about 7% better than harbin gun

[cobalt rapids]

how is better on all armors

[elfin nimbus]

You want spd>dmg for ship like z52 or Trafalgar

[quasi nymph]

just a bit worse on heavy

[hollow gust]

Eh wiki raw damage calculations are misleading

[sharp socket]

oh nevermind

[cobalt rapids]

that aswell

[hollow gust]

That sap gun is ends up being your best damage most of the time

[sharp socket]

i was sorted by raw

[hollow gust]

The beehive gun is op in the eyes of wiki damage calcs

[elfin nimbus]

No wonder lol

[sharp socket]

i would trust wiki for dd and cl gun calculations because theyre all pretty fast

[elfin nimbus]

The beehive gun good for PR farming

[sharp socket]

so dps calculation actually works in the sense of battle time

[hollow gust]

Or just don't use a gun at all

[elfin nimbus]

Yea that too

[cobalt rapids]

doesnt consider hitrate and fp bonuses but its probably less egregious than like the previous mentioned bb example yes

[solar lily]

uuuhhh how does that work

[hollow gust]

It's a shit gun so it gives frontline mvp most of the time

[elfin nimbus]

^

[hollow gust]

Like sometimes it's so absurdly garbage you will do better with nothing

[jolly canyon]

thanks..

[wicked obsidian]

Is there any ship worth raising from Guild shop...for tech Points??

[atomic abyss]

Well yes but, for what faction

[vale spindle]

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

[wicked obsidian]

Dragon E....

[atomic abyss]

That's all there is

And all of them are good ships when retrofit

[rose whale]

what's the max sync point I can obtain per day?

[atomic abyss]

(tho ning and ping aren't used often anymore)

[elfin nimbus]

Chang Chun a little better

[atomic abyss]

Tai Yuan is the best

[elfin nimbus]

^

[wicked obsidian]

So,,,, Tai Yuan and Chang Chun..ok

[atomic abyss]

Why are you even worrying about DE tech

You shouldn't even be worrying about research at your point of the game

Even then, those 4 do not have enough tech for Harbin

[wicked obsidian]

was thinking of starting Her

Bayard

[atomic abyss]

Bayard is french

Harbin is Chinese

And I would strongly discourage you from starting them

1 you won't have enough tech for Harbin

Those 4 give you 136 DE tech
You need 160

[quasi nymph]

does the limited banner pity resets to 0 from the next event ?

[atomic abyss]

I guess if you already pulled yat sen it's fine

[atomic abyss]

Yes
Tho only UR banners have pities

[atomic abyss]

For Bayard, did you even get Saint Louis from PR1?

[quasi nymph]

i still have 80 more pulls to go

[elfin nimbus]

Normal UR stay, limited UR don't

[wicked obsidian]

in the middle of unlocking her...2 mission left

[atomic abyss]

I would focus on the high priority stuff then

Sanrui is only recommended cos she's easy to grind

[wicked obsidian]

whoo..

[atomic abyss]

You should aim for Friedrich de Grosse in series 2, Anchorage and Agir in series 4
Plymouth in series 5

Those are the highest priority ones

[wicked obsidian]

they neeed a loooots of tech points tho...

[atomic abyss]

Anchorage and Agir are tanks
Friedrich de Grosse is a strong rainbow BB

[wicked obsidian]

thats why i wanted to start with the ones that need less thes 100

[atomic abyss]

You say that, but you do know French and DE tech is way harder to come by

[plain saffron]

Are Collab gonna be just 2 char?

[atomic abyss]

Yes, it was announced in the stream 2+ weeks ago

[elfin nimbus]

Anchorage only the be dev 5 and she good to go

[atomic abyss]

Wat

[wicked obsidian]

didnt know that...i mean there are a loots of Shipp

[plain saffron]

So a minor event?

[atomic abyss]

They're free ships

Think the old bili collabs that EN never got

[plain saffron]

So no story etc just 2 ships

[glossy granite]

What does even skin projection do

[plain saffron]

Well idk because i play EN

[plain saffron]

Uses same PR with diff skins for secretary

[atomic abyss]

There are only 4 Chinese ships that are permanently available outside the build pool
The rest are all either build locked or event limited
Those 4 only give you 136
You need 160

You pretty much need Yat Sen

[atomic abyss]

Check pins

[atomic abyss]

We should still have story, and the 2 ships
But no gacha

[plain saffron]

The image makes me more confused

[glossy granite]

Is it purposeful if you dont have skins lol

[atomic abyss]

It isn't

[plain saffron]

Nope

[atomic abyss]

As for Bayard well

[glossy granite]

Bruh im never getting skins fr

[wicked obsidian]

so...Unless i get Yat sen which is from a event... i wout be abole to unlock Bayard ...?

[atomic abyss]

You need 230 Iris tech for Bayard
And there are no french ships in the guild shop

[plain saffron]

Now i can randomly see 5 random default skin

[atomic abyss]

Bayard is Iris
She has no requirement for Chinese ships???

[atomic abyss]

You asked for DE
Which is for Harbin only

[wicked obsidian]

ow..yeah..i mixxed it up

[atomic abyss]

Bayard needs Iris Libre ships
None of which are in the guild shop

Bayard needs 230

Well if you lucked out with Richelieu or something you'd have an easier time I suppose

[agile patrol]

Is there a way to farm specialized cores? I need to get the UR Bulin from shop
Level 37 commander, I can complete up to B1 only in the event stages
I've only done chapter 1 campaign hard mode stages

[atomic abyss]

All the newer ships with "lower" tech requirements
Are lower precisely because they're harder to get

[wicked obsidian]

Cant unlock Harbin cause i dont have Yet san................Cant unlock Bayard cause i dont have any Iris ship....right

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[atomic abyss]

Specialized cores are farmed from just... Playing the game
Additionally you can buy more from the medal shop

[solar lily]

i usually just grind D3 (B3 hard mode) for them though idk if your ships are high enough level for it

otherwise, play normally or buy them at the medal shop as Ender mentioned

[atomic abyss]

Yes
So focus on the higher priority, easier to unlock ships that I mentioned earlier

[agile patrol]

oh definitely can't do that yet 😭
my highest level ship is Unicorn at 80-ish, the rest is between 50 and 70
the highest level i can auto is just B1

[solar lily]

rip

[agile patrol]

auto'ing B1 over and over should get me event currency tho, yes?

[solar lily]

uhhh yes

[wicked obsidian]

I am on Anchorage for my research....altho its gonna take years...and looks like i got 260 Tech points for her...Eagle union is really easy to get ha..

[agile patrol]

if i understand it correctly
u get them from clearing stages? whether its normal, event,hardmode, etc etc etc

[solar lily]

alternatively the hard mode for i think C3 also works, as the ships there are js level 76 at most

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[acoustic quiver]

im coin upping fdg and researching agir right now do you think I should focus series 5 for plymouth or just wait for coin up and do focus series 7?

[atomic abyss]

Focus 5

[solar lily]

what does the uhhh focus thing do again

all i could observe atm is that i get like quite alot of pr5 gear parts

bc i set mine to 5

[hidden gazelle]

Question I can buy pr vouchers for pr 1,2,3 or 4. That unlocks one of the ships which one should i prior?

[agile patrol]

Should I limit break all the units in my fleet to max? I'm using:
Unicorn - Penny - Souryuu
Portland - Helena - Laffey
unicorn is already limit broken

[wicked obsidian]

KMS Tech Point Acquisition........what does this mean

[wind hazel]

it tries to keep your research to the one you selected

[solar lily]

yes, as max limit broken ships are going to be magnitudes more powerful than lmb1 or 2 boats

[wind hazel]

iirc it's at least 3 from the focus? or something

[agile patrol]

is it that big of an upgrade 🫠
no wonder i struggle even against low levels

[solar lily]

yup

[atomic abyss]

Kms = German

[wicked obsidian]

Looks Like i need a Guide for a Guide...cant understand any short term .... that they say...

[split gazelle]

[atomic abyss]

We're talking about double to triple dmg once max limit broken...

[quasi nymph]

chapayev is the best option here right ?

[wicked obsidian]

I WAS on this page....and couldnt understand ...any meaning.. for the Short term

MNF = ?
FFNF =?
RN =?
SN =?

[atomic abyss]

Far from it, see the pins

[atomic abyss]

The content page has it...

[wicked obsidian]

the only thing that makes scence here is DE = Dragon Empery...

[tame jungle]

just learn it

[quasi nymph]

isnt she rated tier 1 though ?

[tame jungle]

these acronyms are also what was used for these ships in real life so

[atomic abyss]

Tier 0 according to ECTL
Which doesn't rate anything for hard content

She's meaningless in end game content lol

[wicked obsidian]

i picked her..

[solar lily]

she can boost tech points for PR ships i think

[tame jungle]

not a mistake really, none of the ships in this selector are particularly useful

[atomic abyss]

81

[split gazelle]

u-81 for the first sub fleet

[quasi nymph]

is baltimore better then her ?

[atomic abyss]

Did you check the pinned message

[quasi nymph]

yes

[tame jungle]

sure u81 but as a newish player?

[quasi nymph]

from 20th of may

[atomic abyss]

How else you gonna get 81 lol

Wait for the next WW?

[tame jungle]

yes

[atomic abyss]

Let's not pretend like the rest are particularly useful

81 actually has use in end game AL

The rest, well don't

[split gazelle]

getting u-81 makes you guaranteed a sub fleet as 37 & 96 are available from shops

[hushed sorrel]

whats the best sub fleet in endgame? like w15 with equip?

[worldly pewter]

ww is better used to get the tech ships too

[tame jungle]

hold on, refresh my memory, is archerfish not perma yet?

[solar lily]

oh damn, guess i lucked out there (i got her super early on i think)

[split gazelle]

and u-81 is also iron blood tech

[atomic abyss]

Flasher, Archerfish, Albacore
Next best is
81, 96, 101

[tame jungle]

or onlyspecial pool

[atomic abyss]

Archer perm, flasher limited

[strong tartan]

fish

[atomic abyss]

The problem is flasher

[hushed sorrel]

thank you.

[solar lily]

which one is u-96 and 101 again

[atomic abyss]

Flasher and Archer are the core of fish comps
And flasher is well, stuck with Guam

[tame jungle]

guam jail

[atomic abyss]

Subs for albacore in the US sub comp

[sharp socket]

well good news guam might rerun early next year

[solar lily]

i... oh my

[tame jungle]

yeah i thought archerfish was in some shop but unfortunately not the case, i'd have said wait for flasher to come back and you just got the best sub fleet but yeah

[solar lily]

i actually got both U-81 and 101 like early game lmfao

[sharp socket]

i say this very much a maybe because we still have 2 UR reruns before that to go

[split gazelle]

albacore is merit shop

[sonic vector]

I currently got UR exchange rn, who should i get?

[tame jungle]

thanks professor but i was talking about the other two

[atomic abyss]

Shinano probably

[strong tartan]

shinano until mlb then vanguard

[sonic vector]

Ah right forgot to mention, shinano and new jersey is excluded

[strong tartan]

vanguard then

[tame jungle]

why are shinano and new jersey excluded

[sonic vector]

Got em

[solar lily]

cuz

[strong tartan]

is shinano mlb

[tame jungle]

yes but you still need to mlb them?

[atomic abyss]

If shinano isn't MLB
There's no point

[solar lily]

oh right, get shinano dupe for mlb or NJ

[tame jungle]

feed the yummy dupes to shinano

[sonic vector]

Wait that exists? I got shinano on her release and new jersey by accident

[atomic abyss]

That exists now

[hushed sorrel]

lol i always had 96 and 101 equiped

[sharp socket]

its new

[solar lily]

yeah

[sonic vector]

Dam

[atomic abyss]

But you'll want to get the shinano dupe

[solar lily]

handbook or whatever, get em for dupes for limitbreaking

[atomic abyss]

Shinano is still extremely meta

[sonic vector]

Wait do i show my dock rn- so that you guys can judge who should i get-

[solar lily]

ight, I'll try to get her + a bulin for mlb

[sonic vector]

Ah ic ic

[solar lily]

I'm close to the battlepass thingy bulin

[quasi nymph]

what is mlb ?

[atomic abyss]

Max limit break

[tame jungle]

max limit break

[solar lily]

and a few thousand cores from the shop bulin and exchange

so theoretically i could mlb both her and lion pretty quickly

[atomic abyss]

Lion is the prio

[strong tartan]

roar

[atomic abyss]

Consider that Bismarck 2 is coming back soon

[tame jungle]

you can work on nano overtime

[solar lily]

mmm alright

[sonic vector]

Just a bit- if this dock is the case, who should i get from the ur exchange?

[tame jungle]

remember that you can get dupes for shinano way easier than bulins for the new limited units

[strong tartan]

vanguard cuz shinano mlb

[sonic vector]

Oh when? I really want to get her

[atomic abyss]

Vanguard then yes

[quasi nymph]

will new jersey be mandatory if i already have these 3 ?

[solar lily]

next update?

[atomic abyss]

Absolutely not

[sonic vector]

Ay alr thanks, i was considering getting the german one or vanguard

[tame jungle]

new jersey would be homeless if you were to get her

[solar lily]

also uhh, concerning Z52, where do you get her

[tame jungle]

event

[atomic abyss]

2 years time

[strong tartan]

event with Fritz rumey

[tame jungle]

see you in 2 years

[quasi nymph]

cause i already cant give them great equipments and nj would be drag me down even more

[solar lily]

ouhh

[strong tartan]

z5(2) years

[solar lily]

oh well, trafalgar would do for now

[atomic abyss]

@sonic vector @solar lily bis 2 the next UR due to rerun
Whenever that is, we don't know
It's just, "next"

[solar lily]

ah okay

[sonic vector]

FINALLY.

Also just a question, if i mix nations into a single team is that bad-

[tame jungle]

it's encouraged

[atomic abyss]

Encouraged

Faction fleets are typically quite bad

[strong tartan]

you don't really use faction fleets for anything

[tame jungle]

more like essential because most of the good hull-type buffers are not the same faction

[solar lily]

yeah faction fleets are awful

[hushed sorrel]

81, 96, 101
who should be leader?

[sonic vector]

Ah ic thanks, i feel like a newbie despite joining 4 years ago 💀

[solar lily]

if anything, they're just for aesthetic reasons

[solar lily]

so true bruh

[atomic abyss]

81 or 96
Doesn't really matter which of the 2

[sonic vector]

😭

[solar lily]

started around late 2021

[sonic vector]

To combat my genshin addiction and to survive the pandemic, azur lane grind in classes was quite a regular schedule

[solar lily]

been living with battle cats before deciding to download again

[sonic vector]

A- idk if i wanna try battlecats, the only reason why i want to is because EVANGELION exists

[hushed sorrel]

"Bidder, G7e, or Type 95 Kai, or use six of the same, it doesn’t matter."
is that up to date? thats sub torps

[atomic abyss]

Just use 6 bidders

[solar lily]

its... honestly very fun

[atomic abyss]

It's the most flexible with timing and reload

[solar lily]

one of the more strat based gacha games

[hushed sorrel]

thank you again :) i will

[solar lily]

but the grind is magnitudes more painful (bc treasures)

[sharp socket]

general chatting goes into #al-general

[tame jungle]

friendly reminder that this is gph (for azur lane gameplay related questions)

[solar lily]

without them your cats might aswell be emaciated, nutrient deficient, half dead ghouls

[sonic vector]

I heard- a friend of mine was livid because they lost a 8 year old account-

[atomic abyss]

Ok you can take your off topic discussion to #off-topic

[solar lily]

oh damn-

[atomic abyss]

This channel has strict on topic rules

[sonic vector]

Ah ic, ill stop, thanks for the reminder

[solar lily]

will do

[paper walrus]

does the zwei event have any good limited gear

[agile patrol]

Which blue ships are important/should I keep?
Trying to know which ones I can retire and which I shouldn't
And should I keep one copy of each blue ship?

[warped acorn]

saratoga drop from event d2?

[strong tartan]

no the event has no limited gear

[worldly pewter]

the ones that u get only from gacha

[solar lily]

well i mean, portland and long island are still decent i think

[atomic abyss]

Port yes, long just for 120 tech

[solar lily]

also, what should i prioritize after finishing agir's development

[atomic abyss]

Assuming you've gotten FdG
Anchorage and Plymouth

[solar lily]

mmm alright

i already got both fdg and im halfway through agir

[peak trellis]

who should i mlb? im thinking between lion / mogador / trafalgar

[worldly pewter]

should be mamagi and shinano

[atomic abyss]

Amagi

[peak trellis]

cheers mate, just realised im actually too broke to afford an mlb

[worldly pewter]

yeah kinda expensive

[solar lily]

20k coins for UR mlb

not accounting for lmb1 and lmb2 cost

[peak trellis]

I had 60k literally just yesterday man where did it all go 💔
