[paper walrus]

i only have a lb0 shinano so i should pick her from the rookie missions right

[cobalt rapids]

thats fine

[terse gust]

which one should i prioritize to LB next? got 6 bulins left

[winter quartz]

for these quests, do the ships have to be in the fleet fighting boss or can I just stuff them all into the second fleet?

[crisp vine]

Hi i have question, i have acc on sandy, its worth to play on sandy or go somewhere else? Dunno where is more live server

[raw ravine]

in fighting fleet but they can die and it still counts

[raw ravine]

I don't think it matters in AL, just choose server that's nice

[weak moat]

how hard is it go get UR bullins

[raw ravine]

once a month probably if you just do bare minimum

[terse gust]

after lion then finishing musashi?

[weak moat]

damn ok

[raw ravine]

up to you but lion best bb now in game. best focus one at a time

[crisp vine]

I see, thanks

[wind hazel]

2 per month excluding event and cruise pass

[terse gust]

good to know!

[weak moat]

where from?

[raw ravine]

if you grind you can get 2

[wind hazel]

5k from grind, 3k from medal shop, total 8k. 4k per bURin, so 2 per month

[gray grove]

R these dock slots for my account or just a guild thing

[wind hazel]

for you

[gray grove]

Thank god i thought i would have to spend gems everytime

[wind hazel]

oh you will...

[remote yarrow]

It's not unlimited tho, it's max +30

[gray grove]

Aww

Having to buy dock slots is criminal ngl

[remote yarrow]

It's a free game, it has to make money somehow and it mainly does through skins and dock space

[glad light]

but mostly skins

98% skins

[gray grove]

Yea it beats every game when it comes to skins

I only say dock slots cuz i think most popular gacha games dont have a limit to how many characters u get

[dreamy blade]

at the same time most popular gacha games dont let you pull for every character f2p

[gray grove]

True

[raw ravine]

AL is very very f2p friendly

[gray grove]

Whats the maximum dock slot

[glad light]

unless ur lucky enough to start playing right around the time the most busted character is in their gacha

[raw ravine]

that I would even pay for it

[raw ravine]

like right now

[glad light]

since new players are usually given a ton of resources

[wary hawk]

You think so? Only game I can think of comparing it to is E7 and that has a very limited "dock space"

[gray grove]

Im not new tbh but i never bothered to play i mostly just pull then delete the game

[remote yarrow]

4000

[gray grove]

But its not hard to get gems in epic seven u can get max at like 3k gems

Which is like 3 weeks of play

[gray grove]

Thats alot

How much would it cost in $$ does anyone know

[wary hawk]

Sure, but that game in exchange have a very limiting gacha where you'd be spending to pull the units+dupes, rather than collection

[cobalt rapids]

maybe like 1k $

[glad light]

well theres one dude who has like 200 copies of Ayanami so....

[gray grove]

Jesus

I'll have to actually like the game before i spend this much , im still learning

[unborn owl]

should i MLB lion or Trafalgar?

[cobalt rapids]

lion

[gray grove]

O btw mori im still having a bit of trouble in chapter 12 , do u think its cuz some of my units are at level 100?

[coral lava]

When's the weekly tasks renewal? Is it supposed to be empty still?

Created a new account yesterday including downloading the app fresh.

Was empty then and still empty now? Is this a bug or?

[remote yarrow]

2 hours ago, reset your game

[cobalt rapids]

try relogging

[wind hazel]

what fleet are you using

[meager tiger]

probably, depending on gear and fleet comp

[full bay]

New player here, what should I choose for the special summon thing

[meager tiger]

as well as your air superiority level and whether or not youre on safe mode

[full bay]

Who should I pick

[remote yarrow]

Are you over 400 cubes?

[full bay]

Only 39

[remote yarrow]

Then don't do Wishing well on Special or Heavy, do Light Build and only once a day

Save your cubes for Zwei's Rerun

[meager tiger]

to elaborate on why you shouldnt

its better overall to build up your stockpile of cubes and only doing 1 light pull/day for the daily mission

that way you can quickly amass cubes to guarantee new and powerful event UR ships, which have a hard pity of 400 cubes

special selector/wishing well is only good for players with cube reserves available who want to snipe a specific ship for whatever reason

collection, waifu, tech, etc

[worldly pewter]

don't be trolled he isn't a new player

[full bay]

technically in terms of account age no, but I know jake sht about the game and barely progress any stages

[worldly pewter]

play the events and buy the important stuff from the shops while building functional fleets

[full bay]

also do you clear normal stages automatically when u do the hard version

or thats seperate

[rose cosmos]

So what should I build with those torpedo rainbow prints, I never invested in them but they built up enough for 1 upgrade now

[worldly pewter]

the new event format now let u switch between normal and hard freely for each stage

[solar lily]

preferably any torpedo centric boat (e.g shimakaze, yuudachi, etc)

[worldly pewter]

quint i think 1 at most

[heady heron]

are odin and ägir "good"?

or is there any tier list?

[solar lily]

decent ig, not sure about odin tho

[cobalt rapids]

/tierlist agir is great odin not somuch

[hallow mountain]

These are all the Russian girls I have. Who should I use as the main DD for my farming fleet

Farming for Nahkimov btw

[white agate]

did vanguard exp count for nakimov? i don't remember

[hallow mountain]

No but I just need a good DD for the fleet

[storm olive]

unless you mean fleet tech for nakhimov then there is no point using a russia dd for the farm unless they have good 120 tech

[white agate]

just use a dd you need to 120

[hallow mountain]

hmmm true

Cause I thought the Russian DD would get a buff if I use Sovetskaya or someone else that has team buffs

[white agate]

doesn't matter, better to 120 a ship you need

[normal cedar]

which pool does this take sr ships from? the perma pool or drop only?

[white agate]

iirc it does take then from a smaller pool than the perma one

[mystic acorn]

Is there a limit of strongholds that appear on OpSi?

[storm olive]

if you want a russia dd to level then just level minsk since she gives fp tech at 120

[zenith heron]

it only loads one per week and another per reset

[forest palm]

the assumption is that it's only the original SSRs

[normal cedar]

oh wow, so launch only ones? some of them are in medal shop now

[forest palm]

the game will only show you visually 2 strongholds, but will store extra, granted this all gets wiped with monthly

[mystic acorn]

Got it, that was the answer i was looking for

Not sure if i asked it properly though in the earlier message

[forest palm]

[ruby adder]

W14, W15 & opsi teams

[sage hare]

Which is the best to augment first? Graf zeppelin or Z23?

[atomic abyss]

Quite frankly neither are worth using long term enough to get augments for
But probably GZ if you had to choose those 2

[hasty haven]

Who should i get in summer invitation??

Also is cleopatra good???

[wind hazel]

check pin, cleo is not good

[atomic abyss]

Check the 4th pinned message from the top
No cleo isnt good
Decent/ok at best

[hasty haven]

Hmm i can't choose

[atomic abyss]

Then u-81

Cos you probably don't have flasher or archerfish

[worldly pewter]

why cleopatra isn't good ?

[hasty haven]

Okok

[atomic abyss]

There's... nothing particularly good in her kit?

[worldly pewter]

if i get her i will test and see it seemed like her skills were good by just reading them

[atomic abyss]

Put it this way

[dreamy blade]

She doesn't have a niche she excels in like d7p for example so is just unremarkable

[atomic abyss]

When would you actually use Scylla

You know, an actually good ship with actually good skills

[heavy zealot]

Collab units upcoming right? Do we know their kit?

[tame jungle]

just wait lol

[atomic abyss]

Yes they are coming, no we don't know their kit

[heavy zealot]

Hmm, what do i save or pull for?

[atomic abyss]

They're free, you don't need to pull

[boreal wagon]

they are free

[atomic abyss]

So if you already have lion, save for Bismarck 2 and the Ryza Collab rerun

[dreamy blade]

We don't know kits until the cn version of the game gets patched and datamined

[heavy zealot]

Dedmaster and the miku girl or sumthin?

[atomic abyss]

Yes, the 2 black rock shooter characters

[untold fjord]

My game does this occasionally where the characters just freeze in place. Is there a fix to this? I even tried switching emulators and still get the same issue.

[heavy zealot]

Bismarck 2? Giga dps?

[wind hazel]

what emulator did you switch to?

[untold fjord]

First it was just regular bluestacks, rn I'm just testing it on LDPlayer

[atomic abyss]

LD player has freezing issues with the game

Either you switch to BlueStacks android 11

Or switch to mumu

[wind hazel]

try mumu12, set 6core 6gb ram

[untold fjord]

Prolly try mumu then 👍

[atomic abyss]

Backline URs are all giga DPS lol

[heavy zealot]

Ah

[whole crypt]

sup mogs

[heavy zealot]

Btw could i use implacable on normal content? After mlb?

[whole crypt]

that makes Lion tera DPS

[solar lily]

yotta DPS*

[atomic abyss]

Ofc you can

[heavy zealot]

Ehhh? Super biggg?

[solar lily]

very

[heavy zealot]

My shinano feels weak so, i guess

[solar lily]

especially coupled with that special barrage she sends out every like idk 5 milliseconds

[whole crypt]

Shinano is great

[atomic abyss]

Impla would feel even weaker then...

You're just overkilling the content lol

That's why shinano isn't doing much carrying

There's nothing for her to carry

[whole crypt]

most of the time "I feel so-and-so UR is weak" just means you're using her wrong

[heavy zealot]

Sooooooo, ez content,just go bb :3 ?

[atomic abyss]

No

You shd be splitting into 2 fleets soon

Shinano and Implacable will end up on the boss fleet

[heavy zealot]

I lack gud vanguards , but prolly enuf now

[gray grove]

Is this team good enough for chapter 13?

[heavy zealot]

Lion for mob or boss? And how bout NJ

[atomic abyss]

If the URs are not MLB, and with those levels, no

[whole crypt]

keep in mind shit that dies too quickly to vanguard fire = no main fleet damage so it really depends on what you're doing

[gray grove]

What level should i aim for to challenge chapter 13

[whole crypt]

similarly main fleet that shoots/launches faster will also get ahead on the count

[atomic abyss]

Is the NJ MLB?
Lion works really well for both tbh
Given how overkill you are for boss I would put lion in mob

[heavy zealot]

Yup, they are :3

[whole crypt]

115+

[atomic abyss]

Everything at or above 115

[gray grove]

Gulp

[atomic abyss]

W13 is when you can't blindly unga bunga anymore

[gray grove]

Whys this game so haaard

[whole crypt]

13 is not hard but you can't really do it blind, yes

[atomic abyss]

If you think 13 is hard, you haven't seen 14 or 15

[whole crypt]

you're getting close to late/endgame, I'd be concerned if shit didn't feel hard

[atomic abyss]

If you don't want to make the game hard, just don't push past 12?

[sinful escarp]

its not really hard. its more about proper fleet building

[heavy zealot]

I heard planes are an issue there... San diego good?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[whole crypt]

it's also perfectly fine to just park at ch12

[sinful escarp]

thats why we tell people to stop at w12 and then level up more ships there before continuing

[whole crypt]

you can do basically everything in the game by leveling at ch12

[gray grove]

What r meta ships for exactly

[whole crypt]

collection

[sinful escarp]

fleet tech

[hushed sorrel]

you can if you got enough tech. i know it from experience xP

[whole crypt]

you actually can't

[wind oxide]

pretty sure that starts from W14

[atomic abyss]

You can't

[whole crypt]

you can max tech and fail ch13 if you get shit wrong

[gray grove]

Ohh maan i forgot how beautiful she is , is she worth maxing out

[atomic abyss]

You still need some semblance of proper fleet construction

[atomic abyss]

No

[solar lily]

who is that lmao

[atomic abyss]

Max if you like her ofc
But from gameplay stand point trash

[whole crypt]

it's basically the first chapter you really need to know what you're doing with gear and ship choices

[gray grove]

Shes hot

[wind hazel]

no she's Yorck

[gray grove]

My goat , thank u for guiding me to conquer chapter 12

[hushed sorrel]

it happen to work with daily repair and stuff. akashi worked fine. it was a close game but it worked with bad fleets

[tame jungle]

if you have to rely on the daily repair you're doing a shit job anyway

so not advisable to grind all that tech for w13 clear

[gray grove]

Whats daily repair

[tame jungle]

just make a better fleet instead

[whole crypt]

CA FP isn't so bad

[atomic abyss]

Everyday you get a 1x free repair on any ship if they're at low HP

[wind hazel]

akashi give you a free heal if your ship falls below a certain hp

first time of the day is free, next subsequent ones cost gem

[solar lily]

how 2 do akashi mission again

[whole crypt]

only once free per day

[gray grove]

So ppl go in a mission and wait for daily repair to proceed to the next fight?

[atomic abyss]

No

[whole crypt]

you don't need Akashi in fleet

[atomic abyss]

They just build actually good fleet comps and not use the repair

[hushed sorrel]

you usually shouldnt need it if you build good fleets

[sinful escarp]

tbh i forgot that feature existed, even when i was clearing w15

[gray grove]

Yea honestly I would not wait for daily repair i would immediately know im not built for that fight

[wind hazel]

i used it for w15

[hushed sorrel]

thats cause you get help here and i bruce forced my way

[whole crypt]

it's more of an oh shit button but you're usually fucked if you need to use it anyway

[sinful escarp]

i didnt get help here. i typed /w15 in #bot-spam

[gray grove]

Where should i stop in skill leveling usually?

[atomic abyss]

You don't stop

[wind hazel]

lv10

[atomic abyss]

You max them all the way for ships you're using

[gray grove]

I see

[vale spindle]

usually 8 unless its a chance based effect then you want to max it

[atomic abyss]

You have more than enough skill books to max the skills of all the ships you use and then some

[gray grove]

Im not gonna attempt chapter 13 untill i have everyone at max tbh

[atomic abyss]

Sam even by that logic it's 7 lol, not 8

[vale spindle]

Then once you have a floor of 8 in your fleet then start going to 10

[atomic abyss]

Cos the largest jumps are at 4, 7 and 10

The thing is, you should really be max leveling the skills of anything you use anyways

[whole crypt]

you really shouldn't be spreading priority by the time you're running ch12

[vale spindle]

The issue is with 2 classroom slots it takes a while to max everyone which is so to get around that you should spread the leveling around

[hushed sorrel]

"everyone" isnt needed. only the ones you need

[atomic abyss]

What nnt said

[whole crypt]

early game yes

[vale spindle]

Either way you will eventually max them eventually

[gray grove]

So there is one thing i dont fully understand, so gearing units depend on the mission ur doing or every unit has that one gear set they always use like every gacha game

[atomic abyss]

The mission/enemy

[vale spindle]

depends on the enemy

[whole crypt]

by the time you're tackling 9 or 10 ish it's already kind of sus to be spreading classroom time

[hushed sorrel]

not all gear is good against the same enemies and you sometimes need special gear for example to counter submarine

[ornate narwhal]

How do I get cores?

[vale spindle]

Depends on how often you are changing your fleets

[atomic abyss]

Which core

[whole crypt]

run hardmode daily

[gray grove]

That makes the game more confusing but i think its cool

[atomic abyss]

Core data?
Specialised core?
Prototype core?

[ornate narwhal]

Data

[atomic abyss]

This then

[ornate narwhal]

Ok

[atomic abyss]

Campaign hard mode to be exact

[whole crypt]

you're not even seriously recommended to change ships too much before oil cap

[ornate narwhal]

Is it worth it to use my universal parts for this?

[whole crypt]

yes

[vale spindle]

yes but why skill lvl 10 a transitional ship when you can keep it at lvl 7 while also skilling ur UR in the back that you arent using cause its not mlb

[hushed sorrel]

you should get more than enough of these

[vale spindle]

either way theres no write or wrong answer on when to skill cause its gonna be max level eventually at the end of the day

[hushed sorrel]

you are free to boost your skillbook slots with gems, but its not recommended with free ones

[vale spindle]

i dont recommend boosting classroom slot with gems its not good

[inland shoal]

It's called universal prints for a reason

[rapid grail]

whats the max depot space limit, including guild tech bonuses

[whole crypt]

it doesn't matter whether that node does anything useful, it's in the way for modernization

[ornate narwhal]

Ok she’s finally retrofitted!

[vale spindle]

Like max with no expansions? Or with gem expansions

[hushed sorrel]

for free user? or with gems?

[whole crypt]

max depot space is just store gear on ships

[hasty haven]

Is it bad to pull for ship? Like i need to limit it 3 per day??

[whole crypt]

2000 ships is 10000 slots of gear

[hasty haven]

Or all out in the event banner

[atomic abyss]

If you already have the limited UR from the event
You shd keep it to 1 single pull on light a day

[hushed sorrel]

you got more for events. recommended is 1 light pull per day if no event is active

[hasty haven]

Ok ok tnx guys

[gray grove]

Whats this ?

[hushed sorrel]

yes all for the events 👍

[hasty haven]

Should i do 10 pulls or 5 pulls what more lucky

[inland shoal]

Technically the best way for events is to pull 3 a day until you either get all the ships you want or final day, then go all out of final day
Practically that leaves no room for emergency grind, so I'd pull earlier

[whole crypt]

it's exactly what it says it is

[hushed sorrel]

there are some sub stories. i forgot where exactly

[gray grove]

Oh

[vale spindle]

I thought wiki had a redirect for secrets omegalilwoo

[whole crypt]

under the ↔️ arrow button

[inland shoal]

I like that https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/The_Alchemist_and_the_Archipelago_of_Secrets/styles.css even shows up

[hushed sorrel]

i always pull 10er cause i can, if you want the ur lion you would need roughly 67 pulls on average but in the worst case 200

[inland shoal]

76

[whole crypt]

divide 200 pulls by event duration

[hushed sorrel]

100/1,5? why 76

[inland shoal]

The chance is 1.2%

[hushed sorrel]

oh my bad

[inland shoal]

Which still won't give you 76, but pity pushes it down from 83

[atomic abyss]

There's no difference between a 10 pull or 5 pull or whatever odds wise

[inland shoal]

I mean a single 10 pull clearly has better odds than a single 5 pull

[atomic abyss]

There's no like "guaranteed Elite every 10 pulls" or sth

[inland shoal]

But yeah technically 1pull is the way to go since you don't overshoot like that, but practically that's quite annoying to do

[hasty haven]

Should i do hard right away or not??

[atomic abyss]

For the event?
You're new right
What levels are your ships?

[hasty haven]

Or there is a specific hard chapter i need to do

Ahm level 30

[atomic abyss]

Campaign hard you can start from chap 1
Prio those ending in -4

[inland shoal]

Do you mean normal hard mode? You only get 3 attempts a day, so best to use them, as high as you can. Failure won't deduce an attempt

[hasty haven]

I see thank you guys

[inland shoal]

You get some goodies for 3⭐ for every stage too

[whole crypt]

reduce*

or deduct

[rapid grail]

with gems

[whole crypt]

less than you can store with ships

guild tech stops at 75 slots apparently

I'm not sure if gem expansion cap has been announced or if anyone's actually tried because it's utterly pointless

[hushed sorrel]

should be 1000 + guild. says google
together 1030

[prisma mantle]

Hello I'm a veteran player, I stopped playing during guams release, is there any new important stuff added to the game?

[hushed sorrel]

lion event right now, wishing well in events as well

[whole crypt]

depends on what you mean by important, meta has moved a bit, no new chapters yet, no major change to gameplay loop

[ripe sparrow]

now what, how do i get an ending?

[prisma mantle]

Is ch15 still end game?

[ripe sparrow]

i think my TB turned Tsundere

[hushed sorrel]

you need to play till the end. its a fixed number of weeks

[ripe sparrow]

how far am i?

[prisma mantle]

Is the en community tier list updated

[undone saffron]

Is this gonna be a good team?

[whole crypt]

slow but it will be eventually, it's not useful anyway

[undone saffron]

I was planning on 3 carriers but maybe not😔

[hushed sorrel]

it ends in month 2 end week 4. you should be at 2/3

[atomic abyss]

3 carriers typically doesn't work well in the game

[ripe sparrow]

alright thank you

[atomic abyss]

There is content that can use 3 carriers

But that's like, chapter 12 and 13

[undone saffron]

Sadly😔

[ripe sparrow]

btw speaking of teams, is this team still good? been off for a year (for bosses btw)

[atomic abyss]

And usually that uses a healer like unicorn

[ripe sparrow]

here's for mobbing

[prisma mantle]

Is there a new SR retrofit

[atomic abyss]

Well, not sure why Musashi is off flag
But yes it's good enough for w13

[atomic abyss]

Eldridge

[undone saffron]

Then who should i keep? Between akagi taihu and joffre? Im planning on 2 carriers 1 battleship then since i can use hood

[ripe sparrow]

oh yeah...

[prisma mantle]

What's her forte?

[atomic abyss]

Keep taihou only
You still need a healer with unicorn

[undone saffron]

Taihou and unicorn

[prisma mantle]

Damn I don't see her retro item on shop

[undone saffron]

That was actually what i was thinking unicorn i have her as my main heal

[whole crypt]

was just last year will probably rerun this year
Eldridge retrofit is basically JdA+

[atomic abyss]

Tanky, and makes everyone tanky
Potent slow debuff

Yeah she's a new retro so no item permanent yet
Need to wait for rerun

[undone saffron]

Is this fine now? Or atleast better than before please?@atomic abyss

[atomic abyss]

Hood in the flagship
I would recommend a tank for the frontline tho

[whole crypt]

hood should be flag and your vanguard is scuffed as hell

[undone saffron]

Hmm then prinz eugen?

[pseudo hearth]

No

[whole crypt]

Portland

[atomic abyss]

Portland

[prisma mantle]

Does PR7 got good gears was thinking finishing my last ship in pr6 (kearsage)

[atomic abyss]

Yes, better than PR6

[undone saffron]

Srry abt tht😭

[whole crypt]

nothing to be sorry about

[atomic abyss]

La-9 being the most notable pr7 gear
There's also the vit-2 mode change

[undone saffron]

Okayy

[whole crypt]

yeh but if Kearsarge is his last thing in PR6 might as well wrap it up

half-assing PR7 now isn't getting anywhere anyway

[undone saffron]

For begineers im stuck at 5 or smth since i need to be lvl 40

😭

[atomic abyss]

You shdnt worry about research

[prisma mantle]

Is there any new good fate sim for non DR?

[whole crypt]

research doesn't concern new players

[atomic abyss]

You're waaaaay too early to make any meaningful progress

[atomic abyss]

Shimanto got more cracked yes

[whole crypt]

Shimanto

[undone saffron]

YESSS OKAY TYSM

[atomic abyss]

Shimanto FS5 removed her gun restriction

[undone saffron]

This'll help me a lot 🙏

[prisma mantle]

Oh damn that's actually good

[storm olive]

Is vit2 mode change just another timing adjustment converging torp

[atomic abyss]

Yes
Slowest and highest dmg
(Both marginally)

[prisma mantle]

Who is a good prio in pr7?

[whole crypt]

Nakhimov

[atomic abyss]

Nakhimov best DPS and Support carrier

So she's the most worth
Napoli is this tankiest vanguard in a solo context
But nothing really needs her tankiness

Bayard is like, top few SR CLs
Daisen is top few SR BBs
Halford thanks to her bug is arguably the worst research ship

[storm olive]

Wait what's Halfords bug

[prisma mantle]

So it's okay now to just claim all mail gold/oil?

[whole crypt]

without her bug she's still a meh ship

[whole crypt]

coin probably
oil you have plenty to spend efore needing that

[gray grove]

What are the rewards for clearing hardmode stages other than whats here

[whole crypt]

nothing but it's practically your biggest regular source of core data and retrofit prints

[gray grove]

Thanks

there are one-time missions for 3* them giving you 2 gold prints iirc

[atomic abyss]

Unlike carriers who launch their planes from the back of the map
Halford summons hers directly from where she is
So by the time they've taken off to bomb aiming height
They've already overshot everything

[whole crypt]

she's still meh even if not for the bug, just less meh

[atomic abyss]

Well she wasn't outright the worst research ship

[atomic abyss]

Consider this means her planes are useless and she has no torps to compensate

[prisma mantle]

What's the meta cvs rn? I was using
shina haku and imp
Then ykII kear and avp

[atomic abyss]

And for what it's worth, her planes contribute a fair bit

[whole crypt]

she has a torp launcher plane replaces her AA guns

[atomic abyss]

Oh right

[storm olive]

She doesn't get preload torps though by the looks of it

[atomic abyss]

Nakhimov for med and light
Fritz Rumey for med and light
Amagi UR for heavy and med

Kears YK2 is on hard times

[prisma mantle]

My dock low-key cooked

[whole crypt]

define cooked, everything is fixable with time

[atomic abyss]

Nakhi is permanent
You just need Soyuz...
Oh wait

You don't have Soyuz so that's a bugger

[whole crypt]

game difficulty hasn't changed much in the past 2 years so what worked when you left will work now

[prisma mantle]

Oh I have Soyuz

[whole crypt]

it's just new shit will work even better

[hushed sorrel]

you also get a cube from the daily mission ... ^^

[atomic abyss]

...I thought you said you left with Guam?
Well no issue with Nakhi then

[storm olive]

Nakh Soyuz lion

[prisma mantle]

Yeah weird times I quit I pull just for Soyuz then quit

[whole crypt]

doesn't matter, if there's something you could do before you quit nothing's changed to make it not work now

[honest sequoia]

yea like warspite

[whole crypt]

warspite didn't work even back then but sure

[prisma mantle]

really warspite on big 25?

[glossy granite]

Who to MLB 🤔

[honest sequoia]

lion

[atomic abyss]

Lion without question

[hushed sorrel]

i would collect the paw.

[whole crypt]

I wouldn't, there's no point

[hushed sorrel]

no akashi if you dont collect it

[atomic abyss]

Better than diluting the pool...

[hushed sorrel]

i never once pulled her in the pool and i unlocked her for multiple years

[whole crypt]

why would you need Akashi to begin with

[prisma mantle]

Did weekly sub never had quick battle or I just haven't cleared it

[wind hazel]

you never S clear it maybe

[hushed sorrel]

i even used her :o and i dont know

[atomic abyss]

It has
You probably never cleared the highest one

[whole crypt]

if you're just shooting for last bit of collection sure but nowadays she's utter rubbish

repair ship AA is just cope

[hushed sorrel]

she needs a retrofit :O

[whole crypt]

she doesn't she needs a game rework

[sinful escarp]

even a retrofit wont save her

[prisma mantle]

Is yuudachi retro prio to build? Or just finish my Soyuz

[undone plover]

Very expensive
Rarely if ever worth it

[prisma mantle]

Okay thanks

[open drift]

Who should i choose ?

[glossy granite]

What is Lion best at again

[hushed sorrel]

if you would ask me in a-general i would say cute is justice.
but here in gampleay i heard shin is good

[glossy granite]

Its def Shinano

[hushed sorrel]

dealing damage

[glossy granite]

What fleet comp for her

[storm olive]

I have NJ and nano already mlb, and a 0lb shima, who should I spend my next perma pity on?

[late flame]

vanguard

[hushed sorrel]

fleet building isnt my forte, but i am sure someone else will answer you that

[glossy granite]

Lion does look pretty op but no idea what an ideal comp would be for her

[hushed sorrel]

if you look for example here #1376940253264220200 messagerecommended with lion. its pretty much at the end

i dont know how fitting it is for you or not

[glossy granite]

Oof i dont have Amagi and my Fritz isnt MLB

[whole crypt]

just put her wherever you want a big damage BB

[hasty haven]

Guys i got lion what should i do now

[whole crypt]

can you afford to LB her

[hasty haven]

Nah i only have 1 copy and i dont have the rainbow one

[whole crypt]

then not much to do with her for now

[hasty haven]

Is the free ur is good?? In the exchange shop??

[whole crypt]

yes

basically as a rule of thumb all new event URs good

[hasty haven]

Also the meta one in exchange??

Are they worth gettibg

[hushed sorrel]

for mlb you can use 4 ur bulins. no need for further copies of lion

[soft raft]

Glorious META is mainly tech fodder
RLD Tech to be specific

[whole crypt]

just normal event SR grade

[hasty haven]

Ok guys thank you

[deep cypress]

So how the f do I go over Captain rank in PVP, guys? I'm always Captain no matter how many exercises I win.

[soft raft]

#pvp

[hasty haven]

What lion good at??? Mobbing or boss??

[soft raft]

Yes

Wherever you need stonks damage

[hushed sorrel]

winning isnt everything. its in the pinned messaged in pvp. your score depends on enemy killed. 15 fights per day, you need to have certain ranks ... but yes go to pvp for more

[wind hazel]

winning is actually everything

if you win 15 times everyday you will climb rank

[eternal basalt]

<1000 rank

[hushed sorrel]

you get more score if the enemy has more score than you. so no just picking any oponnent wont do

[late flame]

pvp isnt real

[wind hazel]

you only lose out 1 or 2 score difference

sandbagging will give more, but it's really not that big of a difference that will keep you at low rank

again, if you win 15 times daily, you will climb rank. you're stuck because you either overcap, or you lose too many matches

[hushed sorrel]

or you dont play daily :) thats instead rank 1000<

[wind hazel]

i wonder what 15 times daily means

[normal cedar]

there is no limit to the number of prints you can aquire via projects right? so there is no limit to the protocore we get by converting excess blueprints as well?

[orchid scarab]

How long does it take for a character to recover a single point of morale?

[wind hazel]

yes but the trade off would be losing a lot of gear prints in the process

[plain saffron]

no limit yes

[wind hazel]

20/hr outside of dorm, 40/hr on first floor dorm, 50/hr on second floor

[hushed sorrel]

whats the second best option after the torp. bomber valkyrie? for w15 bossfleet

[wind hazel]

ongoing event has onsen that adds another 10

[orchid scarab]

Whoa that's long

[normal cedar]

ohh so which is better, going for gear research to get gear via prints or going for ship research to get gear via shop

asking for future ref, I dont plan on doing this catchup conversion now

[wind hazel]

for newer player getting certain ship is better

when you have enough good ships to kill stuff you wanna kill you can transition to gear focus researches

it's usually a balance of picking DR prints and gear

[hushed sorrel]

using the dorm is recommended. using it the moral can go up to 150. outside the max. reg is lower

[wind hazel]

like PR5 for example, you'd pick plymouth prints and the rest on gear researches if possible

[forest palm]

after a while you just sit on a mountain of protocores...

[normal cedar]

oh I see, thanks
ye thats what ive been doing

[orchid scarab]

Thx for the info tho, I guess I won't be using my unicorn for a few weeks

[warped acorn]

worth doing? or just go for research focus anyways

[wind hazel]

no

i see plymouth

[forest palm]

I've actually stopped buying Event Shop Blank BPs

[tranquil dagger]

Should trafalgar go in a mobbing or bossing fleet? Or can she flex into both

[warped acorn]

that one cost 3k ima do it?

[wind hazel]

if you need ply prints yes absolutely

anchorage can be coined too so taking her researches are a waste

[orchid scarab]

Oh I read that wrong it's 20 per hour, not 1 per 20 hours holy, I need to get my eyes checked

[warped acorn]

alr

[wind hazel]

not to mention this kind of long research is kinda bad as well

[mellow cape]

Is he just prio ships or weapons?

[hushed sorrel]

can i use the spearfish as a wyvern?

ok i will just try

[forest palm]

Spearfish doesn't have passive intercept, so no

[hushed sorrel]

what would you use instead? if you see a premade team with wyvern?

[forest palm]

Breguet...

like if you're looking for a Parallels TB with Passive Intercept then you take the Breguet if you don't own a Wyvern

[hushed sorrel]

thank you. its more like not enough wyvern.

[meager zephyr]

how do i play on pc? my phone broke

[forest palm]

emulator

[hushed sorrel]

you install a emulator like bluestuck and install the game and log into your account

[meager zephyr]

is there a channel or official guide or nah

[hushed sorrel]

it gets more difficult if you joined a apple only server but if you played on android or joined a both android/apple server there wont be any problem

most likely? should be a official discord about bluestack. the install is like any other program

[boreal wagon]

the only region that has "apple" and "android" only servers is CN i doubt they play on CN

[deep cypress]

I guess this is it. I overcap. Should be focusing more on PVP.

[meager zephyr]

is the game like fully fully supported for pc? also y isnt it even on pc

[hushed sorrel]

it isnt. you need a emulator that stimulates a phone system

[meager zephyr]

oh so some stuff is gon be goofy and wont function correctly?

[boreal wagon]

you likely wont encounter many issues if you use a modern emulator with a modern android version

[hushed sorrel]

it will work correctly its just not efficient

[split gazelle]

i've encountered 0 issues with emulators

[boreal wagon]

(examples being bluestack w/ android 11/13, mumu12 and others)

[worldly pewter]

as long as u have the virtualization enabled in the bios

[hushed sorrel]

since you will play with a mouse instead of your finger the feeling is completly different.
the only thing that doesnt work in my bluestack azur lane is kicking guild members, dont ask me why

[meager zephyr]

hmm alr, can I get confirmation this is it I might be searchin for the wrong things here

[hushed sorrel]

yes blue 5, install x32 or x64 what fits your pc best. you only need to know that you must emulate a 64 system for al

https://www.bluestacks.com/download.html

[boreal wagon]

anything that isnt android 11 or 13 will run into issues with the new l2d skins and in the future likely more stuff (for bluestacks specifically)

[hushed sorrel]

once it runs you can deactivate all advertisments in bluestacks (in the options). i highly rec. doing that

[normal cedar]

what are the dr and pr ships that I should not catchup on and save for blueprint analysis instead?
the only 1 ive been told till now is drake, I wanna know all so I can decide catchup...

[hushed sorrel]

as a collector i can only say:
... i doubt it helps

[normal cedar]

wdym? I thought that was the tactic ppl use to get more rainbow gear from shop

[rapid grail]

try mumu

less resource usage compared to bluestacks

[honest sequoia]

guys isit just me or Lion gun actually shoots the same speed like AP gun

[atomic abyss]

What do you mean by speed
Rate of fire?

[honest sequoia]

the velocity

i find it faster then triple 406 or nj gun or i might be tripping

[hushed sorrel]

those are hard limited 1 per ... you need to get other copies in the research

[atomic abyss]

Drake, maybe Azuma

Golds ignore cos you'll end up getting one FS5 ship in every series anyways

[normal cedar]

I see, are we only allowed to analyze 1 ship per season?

[worldly pewter]

u analyze prints and not ships

[normal cedar]

oh never mind rino meant 1 copy of gear, my bad, thanks

[hushed sorrel]

indeed i meant only 1 copy of ur gear

[meager tiger]

PC port when

with unreal 5

need me them photorealistic yiddies, make stellar blade eve look like a catholic nun

[raw ravine]

should I pull? I'm just 1 lion away from mlb-ing but I got 1 ur bulin in dock

168 pity now

[mellow cape]

And how many cubes

[warped acorn]

my man hiding the cubes amount 😔

[meager tiger]

not enough to buy another bulin?

[raw ravine]

hehehhehe let's just say I can pull to get that

but should I or should I save?

[undone plover]

If u want all the relevant SR gear with protocore + all the rainbows then u need

375 per SR gear
U probably want 3 bf109
2 champy
1 flandre
2 saiun kai

That is 3k
Then 3k per UR gear
There is currently 4 UR gear so 12k
So total u want 15k

U get 5600 protocore from the cdc packs from rookie missions
Another 200 every 2 months from cruise pass I believe
Every DR catchup is 3k protocore
Every pr catchup is 1500

So u decide what and how many u want
As a general rule I think azuma + drake + pr1-3 is good enough

[raw ravine]

I was thinking of saving bulins for traf but I wanna really mlb lion due to how good her damage is but thinking if I should pull or save cubes

[uneven badger]

who to lb?

[undone plover]

Do u have any MLB UR?

[raw ravine]

its just few more till pity but I'll be damn if I accidentally get another lion lmao

[meager tiger]

lion and z52 above the rest, followed probably by trafalgar and rumey

[uneven badger]

alright!

[undone plover]

Lion then implacable maybe (I dont see how much lb she has)
Then u can do z52

[mellow cape]

Pulling event for lion dupes just for MLB is crazy lol

[raw ravine]

;-;

[uneven badger]

implacable done gonna go for lion

[raw ravine]

1 moreeeeeeeeeeee but should I or just use a bulin ;-; pity is also not that far

I got two bulins left, thought of giving to traf ;-;

[meager tiger]

plymouth is also a priority

[warped acorn]

what thing isnt rlly worth buying in event shop

[meager tiger]

#gameplay-help message

@warped acorn^^^

[undone plover]

Augment stones
plates
Coins
Tech boxes
Oxy cola
Pr selectors are a bit meh
Cats if u dont care

[mellow cape]

After this event it's just reruns right?

[soft raft]

There's a non-Zero chance of BisZwei rerun being this month

[hasty haven]

Is it worth to pull in limited

[soft raft]

Always go for the event UR

[hasty haven]

Okok

[soft raft]

Event banners also take from either heavy or special for their pool so It's a more economical choice to pull events for ships from those two categories

[hasty haven]

Is there a change i can get other ur in the event banner??

I already have lion

[soft raft]

No
Only the event banner UR

[hasty haven]

Should i still pull everyday in the event??

[soft raft]

If you got everyone you wanted off of the banner, go back to 1 light per day

Esp if you have less than 400 cubes or are close to

[hasty haven]

I only have 2 cubes hahaha

[warped acorn]

alr

[raw ravine]

glorous meta better than augment taihoe?

[meager tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/broke-no-cash-gif-25565154

[normal cedar]

thanks for the detailed breakdown, this will help me a lot!!

[solar lily]

meta ships are not really that good i think

honestly would rather stick with standard SRs

[sleek spade]

Does Trafalgar blue skill only works w BB flag girls?

[undone plover]

Btw I forgot we have 5 UR gear so add another 3k for a total of 18k
Altho you dont need all the UR gears
So u can get away with less protocore

[meager tiger]

is the ur 100kai usable on ships like z52/trafalgar or is their barrage dps so significant that its worth using the single 113 above all else?

[whole crypt]

please don't post memes here especially not gameplay related

[meager tiger]

i just realized that i have so much gear that i cant use it all

[hasty haven]

Guys what is my focus in research academy

[lofty zodiac]

Pr0?

[hasty haven]

Also what is the pr/dr bla bla bla

Pr0 yeah no focus

[worldly pewter]

duck wants to do getting from gph any%

[cobalt rapids]

are u new ?

[hasty haven]

Yeah im new

[whole crypt]

are you asking what to focus or what

[eager marsh]

which should i do next?

pr

[cobalt rapids]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VJ12iQu8IdKQ0ss29c_KZ5BGk5BXT0mtwZoOuZMAuaE/edit?tab=t.0 read appendix a

[whole crypt]

what chapter are you at and what do you have

[eager marsh]

I'm at 13-4

I have everything that is not listed in the image above

[whole crypt]

read that link I guess

looks like it applies to you too

[eager marsh]

so PR4+ ships? is this a correct take?

[cobalt rapids]

no, s6 isnt mentioned for a reason
pick what applies to you from the options listed

[heavy zealot]

How increase max level beyond 125?

[cobalt rapids]

125 is the cap

[meager tiger]

is the triple 460 usable in any scenario?

[heavy zealot]

Oh

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[meager tiger]

cuz 26.43s reload at +13

[whole crypt]

only in niche situations where you actually want that timing

[cobalt rapids]

10->+13s dont affect timing

[whole crypt]

I don't remember the last fight that uses that timing specifically

[cobalt rapids]

i used it today against EX

[meager tiger]

only 2 are obtainable atm right?

[whole crypt]

I guess that works

only 2 could have been obtained and it's not currently obtainable

[meager tiger]

one from original musashi run and one from rerun

maybe once we get a 3rd copy theyll be usable in a triple BB fleet

[cobalt rapids]

they are plenty usable alr

[meager tiger]

or maybe with a super slow loading CV running vit2s and whatnot

timing tho

[carmine heath]

what gun does traf want?

[cobalt rapids]

76/113

[carmine heath]

same as z52?

[deep cypress]

How many of the highest prio lab gear in Samheart's guide should I make? 2-3 of each?

[meager tiger]

no more than is needed to gear the ships you actually use, and even then id limit it to your endgame fleets

otherwise youre spending coins and mats on excess gear

[deep cypress]

Right. I guess 2 or 3 should be enough to equip two fleets (CV and BB) for OpSi.

I guess I should prioritize crafting the gear for the main fleet first, since they are the main source of damage.

Then go for DD gear.

[fallen jay]

Ok how exactly does gear work? Cause I have a lot of the grey stuff and it seems pretty bad.

Like how do acquire the blue purple and gold gear reliably and how do I know if it’s any good?

[atomic abyss]

I'm assuming you're relatively new
So your primary source of poverty gear is from purple and gold tech boxes

As for how to know if something is good, well most of the gear in tech boxes is... Frankly not very good tbh

[warped acorn]

even purple still uss best?

[atomic abyss]

So I'd work backwards from a safe to scrap list

/equip which is here

Well, F4U Corsair and SB2C Helldiver are purple so

[warped acorn]

oh, why is others bad 🤔

[atomic abyss]

Wait I forgot the MK6

[atomic abyss]

The triple 406mm MK6 and the SB2C helldiver are only outclassed by rainbow gear
As for the Corsair, it's a side grade to the gold Hellcat and Seafang and is better than stuff like the Gold Zero and Gold me155

[warped acorn]

damn, and the other faction stuff get outclassed easily 🤔

[atomic abyss]

For purple sakura boxes, your notable grabs would be the purple twin 410 and the purple white shell and the Tenzan

The purple German boxes at most the Ju-87, which is a worse Helldiver

[warped acorn]

interesting, next time ima focus on uss box only

[atomic abyss]

It's usually not worth the coins imo

Unless it's on a massive discount to begin with

[warped acorn]

well i wouldnt buy them with money maybe guild coin if i have alot

[atomic abyss]

Fair

[warped acorn]

not when i pushed 20 com lv in 1 week and still havent upgrade those academy building yet

[vale flicker]

130 pity for lion, is it worth to do another 70 rolls for another?

[atomic abyss]

Absolutely not
When we the next UR rerun is expected to be Bismarck 2 and a Collab rerun has been announced

[vale flicker]

ok ty

how long for URs to rerun? missing all except the earliest ones (NJ, shinano) and current event D:

[atomic abyss]

2 years+

[vale flicker]

sad

eldridge retro also probably 2years?

[whole crypt]

retrofit items might come back sooner but we don't have enough sample size because of how irregular they are

there is a good chance it'll rerun with this year's EN anniv but no guarantees

[blissful hamlet]

When is the next PR ship?

[rapid grail]

brain not braining atm, do the backliners give good tech? also are there any new META botes with good tech as well recently (aside from Nevada's)

[winter quartz]

is it worth going for pity if I got a copy?

[blissful hamlet]

Glorious meta

[golden saffron]

Does trafalgar have any limited gear?

[rapid grail]

can do it for a dupe for 1 less bulin, but not too sure.
if you should chase that without knowing your current cube counts, and when biszwei rerun is on the horizon

[kind slate]

Guys Ik that the order is amagi shinano implac but is this close enough to not matter?

[winter quartz]

do you get anything when these points burn up after the banner end?

[rapid grail]

If u include the recs, probably yes? Dunno 'bout that since i haven't touched pve in a while. But can look at z52 loadouts maybe

[viscid swift]

depends on how many strikes you need it synced for but it's not particularly difficult to sync them in the right order

[kind slate]

Rlly? I’m kinda struggling for some reason

[rapid grail]

Looks good

[whole crypt]

if you're really short on bulins, event runs for another 10 days so you could do like a couple of days of 3s

[kind slate]

ooh what are those planes instead of ryuusei?

[viscid swift]

Ju-87ds, in the gear lab

[kind slate]

Wasn’t ryuusei better? Or not I can’t remember

[viscid swift]

they're all timing sidegrades

[icy glade]

dose anyone have any tips on a fleet set up i've been running with is one of a long time

[kind slate]

is it worth building these? I have none rn

[viscid swift]

it's worth building a few for reasons like this yes

[viscid swift]

pretty mediocre

not anything worth fixing really, best start over

[hollow gust]

Two of each timing sidegrade should give you enough variability for most timings

[hardy creek]

What gear do I run on lion?

Where your lion

Already max

[cobalt rapids]

you should show ur maxed URs aswell then

[sweet delta]

Without further information I can say you should MLB nakhimov

[random summit]

I still need 120+ blue print

[stark quiver]

how many bulins can you get

[random summit]

In this month i can get 4-5 bullins

[cobalt rapids]

since when have you been focusing pr7 ? also do u have a goal in mind ?

[random summit]

Since Desember 2024

[sweet delta]

For meta showdown i think Trafalgar would be the choice

[random summit]

Okey noted, but i dont really play meta

Iam focus on operation siren

[cobalt rapids]

implacable ( and yk2 to a degree ) will be sidegraded when nahkimov is d30
otherwise like mentioned i would go for traf
there should be no problems in opsi with ur current dock however
nor for campaign

[river sedge]

I can't find ACV in sorting, anyone got any advice on this?

[cobalt rapids]

tldr add carriers

[atomic abyss]

Also average level > 110
You need to be greater than 110

[cobalt rapids]

are shinano and yk2 mlb ?

and geared ?

[atomic abyss]

So probably levelling the Volga will help with both acv and the level

[random summit]

Hmmmm🤔 oke

[viral flicker]

Can anyone send link of gears for her

[cobalt rapids]

standard bb

Don't have most of the gears

[cobalt rapids]

theres poverty options

[forest palm]

Mk6 and a Twin 150 is box stuff

[viral flicker]

This?

And this is all my gears

[viral shadow]

whats a good comp for amagi (cv) and Fritz rumey? Amagi im not so sure but Fritz should work well with Bismarck and AvP/Graf Zep right?

[stark quiver]

no

[forest palm]

looks like you have what you need, you can just slap the Twin 410 on Lion if you don't want to move around an Mk6

[cobalt rapids]

fritz can work great with amagi and avp
but rly depends on the content u do and what ships u have
both fritz and amagi perform great in alot of places
avp is ok
bismarck and graf not so much

[viral flicker]

Which

[viral flicker]

And this?

[forest palm]

again you have everything I listed

that is the correct Twin 150

[viral shadow]

doesn't bismarck buff cvs by a good amount tho?

[cobalt rapids]

less than nagato
she does but not by a amount strong enough to boot another strong ship like amagi cv for it for example
maybe when ib gets its 2nd ur cv

[stiff heron]

Hello, I havent played for a good year if not more... Any help with quick team building i can do with my units?

Also which UR to max first

[viral flicker]

Ty

[cobalt rapids]

what content for?
and u need to stop spreading ur bulins

[stiff heron]

What do you mean by that

I havent played for over a year

As for content... iirc clearing Op Siren required 3 teams? 2 Bossing setups + Mob Fleet no?

[cobalt rapids]

what content are u builiding the fleets for
and only limit break one ship at a time to max you have a bunch of lb2 UR ships lying around

for now finish mlbing implac

[stiff heron]

I assume i need 1 bossing CV fleet and 1 bossing BB fleet?

[young heron]

is there an easy way to satisfy the trp reqs for d stages in the event

[stark quiver]

yes

[stiff heron]

Im also at 20k tickets so i can get 5 more UR boolins

What is the thread posting?

[fallen jay]

I got my unicorn an extra copy

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[soft raft]

Also #bot-spam for personal use of bot commands in the future

[cobalt rapids]

press 🧵 or type /thread to create a thread in this channel

[stark quiver]

again with the light mode

[stiff heron]

Oh that is allowed huh Okey

[fallen jay]

Ok that equipment picture is a whole Wikipedia story. I’m so lost with it

[soft raft]

If you mean the first link, that's probably as condensed as it can get while still being informative enough

[fallen jay]

I get that but so like what am I supposed to be targeting then?

How do I go after the specific gear?

[cobalt rapids]

targeting with what
gear is aquired through diff sources and each source has different prios

[wheat ore]

is it more worth it to buy the crest vouchers so i can get second copy of trafalgar or spend it on hte meta chips and PR blueprints instead?

[stiff heron]

Team Building and Leveling Help

[soft raft]

Traf dupe first

[river sedge]

halo how to increase acv or the red thing for requirement

[wheat ore]

alright, i thought so cuz the UR bulins are pretty hard to get

[fallen jay]

For someone brand new still go the game what should I do to get best gear possible to push further in the campaign?

Team is Pennsylvania, Portland, Taihou, Unicorn, Starter, and Helena

I haven’t opened any of the boxes I believe

[cobalt rapids]

when ure brand new u just run ur newbie fleet and hope for the best for gear from techboxes
refer to the guide linked above for poverty gear u should be on the lookout for
when u start getting access to research, protocore, opsi
consult the relevant commands /protocore, /coredata, /gearlab etc or ask here

[fallen jay]

I don’t see where the poverty gear list is

[cobalt rapids]

i the equipment picture guide but theres no specific rubric

[soft raft]

You need higher AA stat for better Airspace control
If you mean the "Average Level > [x]" thing, note that > does not equal to >

[paper ore]

Also upgrade lower tier tech boxes to T3 and only then open them

[fallen jay]

So if it’s tech3 I can open it whenever and not worry about it being crap?

[river sedge]

Ah... , so i should level them up and change some gears for aa right?

[cobalt rapids]

acv is just based on avi and the planes the carriers have equipped

[soft raft]

You're already good on ACV
you just need more lvls

[river sedge]

It's red tho

[paper ore]

Ideally yes. But even for T3 some gears will be bad. But you have a significantly higher chance of getting better and usable gear from T3

[soft raft]

whoops misread the image
but yeah you'd more AA, tho honestly planes arent really tha tbig of a threat for event maps

[cobalt rapids]

aa does not affect acv

[river sedge]

It's red tho

[soft raft]

somewhat yes
but it's not like you currently have the luxury to be that picky

[boreal wagon]

it does by virtue of lowering the enemy acv value https://cdn.mrlar.dev/i/DuNJOt07XaPACbhyBHOA5.png

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Combat#Enemy_ACV

[boreal wagon]

but its indeed not the primary way to

[cobalt rapids]

that isnt ur acv

[fallen jay]

Ok it’s really not making any sense

I’m trying to equip different items to my girls and the percentage still stays below 100% I’m trying to match it up to what their ship class is like a gun meant for BB being equipped to a BB ship

But it’s still remaining at around 65-70%

What am I doing wrong?

[viscid swift]

slot efficiency is a fixed number and just a damage multiplier

[soft raft]

you're looking at gun mount efficency
Which is not tied to gear at all

[viscid swift]

the number doesn't go up/down based on what gear you have equipped

[nova crane]

how do i farm for the blueprints for the UR guns

[fallen jay]

Oh…wait then I’m lost what do I do to make them better with these weapons?

Cause damage is falling off very badly in campaign

[viscid swift]

pick good gear, enhance it, etc

get more levels on them because level advantage is a mechanic to be abused

[soft raft]

and invest limit breaks

[fallen jay]

Only gotten an extra Unicorn from the guild

What else can I do?

[soft raft]

surely you have a few Bullins by this point

[viscid swift]

use your bullins

[fallen jay]

I’m so lost

[toxic mortar]

hi, quick question: im trying to auto op si, and i bought the 5k oil item, but my explorable locations still have fog of war so my auto wont work. Do i have to do the whole thing manual first?

[fallen jay]

Why is gear so complicated?

[soft raft]

you have to go to your storage and use the item first after purchasing it

[toxic mortar]

ohhhh okay thank you

[fallen jay]

All these posts show the highest level for ships so I have no idea what I’m supposed to do now

[soft raft]

I feel like you're overthinking this wayyyyyy too much

[fallen jay]

Probably but I also know that my team is struggling in campaign

[worldly pewter]

if u have a thread link it here

[soft raft]

Then do the following:

• Get them decent purple gear
• Invest more levels on them
• Invest more limit breaks with Bullins

That's really it

[versed pebble]

After I get one copy of the research 4 UR weapon, can I switch to another research focus, or just keep researching 4 for more planes?

[pseudo hearth]

Can I get reminded, what is the backline that people usually run with Kearsarge? I believe it's anti light.

[toxic mortar]

i used this when doing the campaign, a little utdated but it helped me clear thru chap 13 https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home

[cobalt rapids]

should have switched long ago

[fallen jay]

I’ve gotten two pieces of purple gear so far. And who do I invest my bullins in? I don’t want to waste them

[versed pebble]

Wdym? And to what?

[fallen jay]

That has me so lost there

[soft raft]

Backline more important than Frontline for Bullin priority
I'd prob say Unicorn first

And Taihou doesn't use the same Bullins as everyone else in that fleet

[cobalt rapids]

i mean u should have switched from pr4 after getting 1 gold gear each at most and not stay for 50 tenrai prints
switch to 5 or 7 whichever u prefer now
check appendix a from here
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VJ12iQu8IdKQ0ss29c_KZ5BGk5BXT0mtwZoOuZMAuaE/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.3ed3l25xokgm

[fallen jay]

I have unicorn limitbroken once

[toxic mortar]

theres a new player guide link on the top that has a step by step guide for every chapter and level

[versed pebble]

Ah, that's what you meant. OK. I just used the analyzed combat pack exp to speed up getting prints

[soft raft]

Then continue investing Bullins on her
Namely because you can start her retrofit once you have her MLB

[cobalt rapids]

that is good

[toxic mortar]

so a general question: i have a LOT of ships, and i have basically 4 semi okay teams already made. Do people just run chapter 12 with random ships to level them? since theres so many with so many different uses

[cobalt rapids]

usefull ships for content u plan for > ships with good tech

[toxic mortar]

good tech as in a good tech tree? or abilities

[cobalt rapids]

as in good bonuses they provide at 120

[whole crypt]

basically all non-collab, non-variant ships add a small amount of stat when you first get them and when you first get them to 120

[toxic mortar]

ohhh okay, and each ship gives stats to your fleet overall? permenantly right?

[viscid swift]

they give stats for their own hull types and they are permanent

[whole crypt]

it's a permanent stat buff you can adjust and applies based on hull classes

[cobalt rapids]

its applied to specific hulls ( their own and the sister hulls usually ) to ships that are mlb and permanent

[brisk wind]

Hi guys, I'm building a boss fleet but needed help for my frontline. Which is better?

Plymouth Trafalgar Drake vs Plymouth Trafalgar Eldridge
Implacable Vanguard Lion Implacable Vanguard Lion

[toxic mortar]

so theres a small reason to get every ship to 120 basically

[whole crypt]

depends, what boss is this for

[viscid swift]

for what exactly

[brisk wind]

I'm very bad at the game and am stuck on 13-1, so general purpose I think?

[cobalt rapids]

if vang surv and/or asw is needed eldr
if dmg is wanted more then drake

[whole crypt]

I'll leave it to you guys to fix this one I'm hitting the hay

[viscid swift]

when you say general I tend to hear everything and building a fleet for everything is a tad difficult to say the least

[brisk wind]

That is true

[viscid swift]

anyway, either works as a boss fleet for W13 if competently equipped, I'd prefer Eldridge though, Drake doesn't do much of anything these days

[brisk wind]

Thanks!

[last zenith]

whats the best augment for Ibuki

[cobalt rapids]

her own

[last zenith]

perfect

[dawn hamlet]

got a question about strategic search in opsi What does it automatically exchange? The random mysterious merchant shop?

[last zenith]

I was too poor to get it

[cobalt rapids]

no on the box things it auto uses ESDs

[zenith pebble]

light andgeneral use guns in sams bb weapon guide is ok for mob fleets too or no?

[pseudo hearth]

Anyone know?

[cobalt rapids]

shes usually best friends with york2 and the 3rd slot depends

[pseudo hearth]

What are the 3rd slot choices usually?

[cobalt rapids]

fritz, implac, enterprise

[pseudo hearth]

I thought I remembered one the Essex class carriers being usable, but I could be misremembering

[cobalt rapids]

usable but not top

[pseudo hearth]

Was it Shangri?

[cobalt rapids]

franklin is avg (70%) enty
srl is 70% enty in long fights

[pseudo hearth]

[chrome jackal]

could somone tell me what kind of gear to toss on trafalgar for w12-4 exp/coin farming

[cobalt rapids]

blue 76 quadmag some gold aa gun and toolkit + another 500+ hp aux

[river sedge]

Who do I make? i only got saint louii

[chrome jackal]

this one?

[chrome jackal]

id say monarch as shes pretty good

[hollow gust]

Monarch is the worst ship in the season

At least until they save her with a augment

[cobalt rapids]

go and build anchorage or farm tech for fdg

[chrome jackal]

dam i litearly used her for the longest time after getting her

ig i have out dated info xD

[pseudo hearth]

At least until, she gets her eventual augment. Most of the other ships in PR1 are fairly good due to augments, but like what was just said, going for FdG is probably the best play.

Which would require you to have the tech for her obviously

[river sedge]

So fdg in conclusion? Im not only talkin abt pr1 btw

[pseudo hearth]

Yeah, if your only research ship is Louis, and you have the tech for FdG, definitely go for her.

[river sedge]

Oh deer

I'm finished

[chrome jackal]

whats some simple gear i can toss on hornet meta so i can get her in the 12-4 farming

[mellow cape]

Ibuki op

[river sedge]

I can make Ibuki

[cobalt rapids]

hellcat helldiver golden cuda

[pseudo hearth]

Have you farmed any of the war archives? They have plenty of German Ships to unlock tech from.

[river sedge]

None unfortunately but thanks for the tip

I have so many issues bruh
Messed up sleep schedule
Unable to beat Event SP
Only one viable teamn

[cobalt rapids]

theres no point getting another pr1 ship because u can only coin one pr ship at a time

[sacred parrot]

I don't need to build lion, do I?

[river sedge]

Okay

[atomic abyss]

you dont need to but you really should

[cobalt rapids]

why not

[viscid swift]

she's one of the best BBs in the game, you don't "need" to but you would be a fool not to

[chrome jackal]

aight thanks

[sacred parrot]

Idk, I thought my team was already solid

[atomic abyss]

fdg is noticeably worse than lion
even soyuz is slightly woese

[sacred parrot]

aight, I'll keep that in mind

[viscid swift]

there's still plenty of room to go up and depending in the contet you want to tackle you may very weel need to go up

[river sedge]

What equipment do I put on Lion? I gotta try to make a 2nd viable team

[viscid swift]

pretty standard BB set up

[river sedge]

Which is...?

[viscid swift]

whatever you're running on your current BBs

[river sedge]

Im a returnin playe i dont kno

[river sedge]

my current bbs have random gold and purple gears

[river sedge]

thank yew

[viscid swift]

might wanna give that a read then
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment

[spare torrent]

Is worth it keep Rare units?

[cobalt rapids]

yes for tech pts for shipyard ships and eventually for their 120 tech bonus
and they may also have retrofits which can count for collection %

[spare torrent]

Common ones with Retrofit counts too?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[spare torrent]

Then I have a big space problem

[cobalt rapids]

retire the ones that are easy to get back till ure ready to be fully done with them

[grave venture]

I wanna ask a question how to get copies of ur

I pulled for lion and want to limit break her so how do I do that

[sweet delta]

Use UR bulins

[cobalt rapids]

u get the UR bulins

[grave venture]

You mean this

Ok

[sweet delta]

That's correct but there are some other sources

[grave venture]

Can you explain me

[sweet delta]

Like reaching 30k points in the current event, or level 100 in the cruise pass

[grave venture]

Oooh

[cobalt rapids]

cruise pass also gives one and theres another one at 30k (15k on reruns ) UR events milestones

[sweet delta]

Be sure to buy specialized core from the medal shop every month too

[sweet delta]

After buying better SR ships like Enterprise

[grave venture]

This

Is Bismark ship good

I want front ships

[cobalt rapids]

only for fdg tech

[toxic mortar]

hi, on a guide i saw it said perseus was permenant to get, but i also see she was on an event. Is she limited or is there a way to get her anytime?

[stark quiver]

she was , only way is perma, which lucky for you there is wishing well, dunno if u should do it tho

[cobalt rapids]

shes permanent but u should not pull permanent banners

[grave venture]

I want best front ship can anyone tell me which ship is good

[cobalt rapids]

those are all BBs theres no frontline in there

[grave venture]

What

What about this one

Who is best

[tame jungle]

none of them are really worth getting

at least not for actual usage

[cobalt rapids]

those are indeed frontline but non of these ships are helpful to a new except tech, just stick with ur newbie fleet with lion in the flagship

[grave venture]

Ok

[stark quiver]

are you fully done with backline tech stig

[grave venture]

I wanna get best only 1 ssr front ship this red dot I select this ship is ass because she sacrifice her health

[toxic mortar]

ok thanks, i was looking for another healer to use since my unicorn is max level, and is exhausted even with being in the bath and dorms

[cobalt rapids]

u seem to be using way to many gold ships ? can you afford to mlb them all ?
is that shinano mlb aswell ? shes not to take bulins from lion either way

[grave venture]

I have limit break 5 star ship upto 4 star limit break

But my shinano and lion is not limit break

[steep sleet]

Have pulled lion ,who should I replace with her from my fleet ?

[cobalt rapids]

a rule a thumb is if you cannot fully limit break a ship ( all gold stars ) you should not use them
new players dont have the income to 6 star alot of gold ships
what u should do is cut down and bench some of them for some decent purple options

[grave venture]

Ok

[grave venture]

Just remove the middle ship

[strange path]

Not unicorn, the other two it probably wont make a huge difference

[grave venture]

Don't remove unicorn

[steep sleet]

I see ,so lion in middle and Panni and uni on both side?

[strange path]

But also they just said if you cant mlb Lion maybe dont use her

[young heron]

which of starter retro or saratoga retro is higher prio

[steep sleet]

I don't have any lion dupe ,as I literally hit pity to get her and neither Any UR bulin yet

[strange path]

But also i dont think itll make the biggest difference in middle levels of play

[young heron]

already finished uni and portland

[cobalt rapids]

if u can limitbreak lion twice use her instead of penny, contradictory to what i said but lion is strong enough that she beats stuff like penny even when not max limit broken
and she should be the mlb u work towards anyway as a new player

[grave venture]

What is your lvl in azur lane

Mine is 55 lvl

[steep sleet]

Mine is 44

[grave venture]

Nice man

[cobalt rapids]

idk why it matters

[grave venture]

Damn 🙄🙄
