[split gazelle]

still too low for D1 I think

[atomic abyss]

Frontliner and backliner can't be compared

[wicked obsidian]

yeahh

[atomic abyss]

Could you screenshot it anyways...

[severe tinsel]

I know, I mean the value they gave

[atomic abyss]

Lion is a million times more valuable

It's not even a competition

[severe tinsel]

Oh

[cobalt rapids]

lion gives a bigger value for UR bulins

[split gazelle]

C1-3 definitely possible with some tweaks

[ivory pawn]

The commission DD might be removing your fleet 1 stat’s from the requirement. Which is probably a good thing because of the level requirement.

[atomic abyss]

Just do C2 then

[severe tinsel]

How about Trafalgar compared to other UR frontliner?

[atomic abyss]

Lower prio than Z52

Different role from Laffey2
Debuffer vs Tank

All 3 are AA specialists

[wicked obsidian]

ok...and should i 6 star san diago now..

[severe tinsel]

Compared to sandy?

[atomic abyss]

You can but I don't think it'll fix your problems

[atomic abyss]

All slightly worse

Like, 10% worse

[little tree]

Is z52 considered high priority for ur vanguards ?

[atomic abyss]

Highest imo

[wind oxide]

Z52's EX tier bro

[atomic abyss]

Only competition would be Unzen ig

Or Guam

[little tree]

~~ z52 is pretty cracked

[dusty terrace]

52 is good everywhere

[atomic abyss]

She's is a Plymouth upgrade in many ways

[little tree]

Z52 main tanks w15 very well.

[severe tinsel]

Laffey good tank?

[atomic abyss]

Laffey 2 is one of the best tanks

[paper walrus]

when will the z52 rerun be

[severe tinsel]

I see

[atomic abyss]

2 years

[paper walrus]

oh so i missed her

[wind oxide]

Early 2027 prob

[atomic abyss]

December 2024 was the event after all

[severe tinsel]

So if I don't have both laffey2 and z52 and finish Lion, I can upgrade trafalgar

[severe tinsel]

Damn azur lane rerun so long

[atomic abyss]

Well i would save the bulins for Bismarck 2

[wanton dawn]

how do u farm more cog chips... Im getting my ships to level 115 faster than I can limit break them... thanks

[atomic abyss]

Unlike most games
We actually add characters permanently

[atomic abyss]

W13~

Also buy them from core shop etc

[wanton dawn]

13-1?

[severe tinsel]

Where can I get that? What she goog at?

[atomic abyss]

She will rerun soon
She's the second best bossing BB in the game

[wind oxide]

Core shop

[cobalt rapids]

15-1 > 14-1 > 13-1

[atomic abyss]

Anywhere in 13
Income isn't particularly good tho

[severe tinsel]

Ok I'mma prep for her after finish luon

[wanton dawn]

okok thanks ill give it a go I dont think I can farm 14-1 with low level ships

[blissful comet]

Tried searching around but can anyone tell me how the heck to unlock rose on the Hightower sp? It says complete required level but I’ve done everything else. Is it a main story level? It doesn’t tell me what I’m missing😭

[severe tinsel]

How do you guys know rerun schedule anyway?

[crimson glacier]

its not that random

[ivory pawn]

Clear the Hard Mode of B3.

[crimson glacier]

it usually follows the exact release order

[wind oxide]

As he said it happens normally 2 years after

[atomic abyss]

It's original run +2 years
Not exactly 2 years
Maybe a bit more
But yes

[severe tinsel]

Damn

[blissful comet]

Gotcha. Thanks!

[crimson glacier]

you probably could count the exceptions to the rule with fingers of 1 hand over the 5 years or something

[severe tinsel]

I prob gonna be end game player by then

[atomic abyss]

Maybe

[severe tinsel]

Thank god I start when lion

[atomic abyss]

Depends on how much time you commit

[wind oxide]

This game needs a shit ton of grinding just so you know

[severe tinsel]

And get lion on 10+ pull

[patent pivot]

the game is grinding*

[thorny ermine]

to get kawakze meta i have to battle the boss 3 times a day 100 times total to get her??

[severe tinsel]

Don't worry I have play worst mmo with crazy grinding

[crimson glacier]

you get kawa in a week

[dusty terrace]

yeah she's very very strong, pretty good start

[crimson glacier]

and then it takes like a month to max her our

[sharp comet]

is there nothin in this tab

[mellow mango]

Are all ships good on retrofitting?

[cobalt rapids]

excluding lowcost
13-1 is like 70% better on cogs vs 12-1
14-1 is like 25% better than 13-1
and 15-1 is like 10% better than 14-1
X-1 maps are the best for cogs within the same chapter

[paper walrus]

isnt she supposed to be the best one

[wind oxide]

Wdym? There's two beautiful ladies right there

[atomic abyss]

Lion says hi

[viscid swift]

only if you only assist with other people's bosses which is stupid

[wanton dawn]

ahh thank you for the info!

[viscid swift]

do your own fights and you can get her in under a week

[atomic abyss]

Nope
Most remain crap since they were crap to begin with

[paper walrus]

some people say its lion others that its zwei

[thorny ermine]

what do u mean do my own fights??

[atomic abyss]

It's lion without question lol

[wind oxide]

Show me who the others are lol

[atomic abyss]

Lion is just unbelievably far ahead

[wanton dawn]

would u put lion in mob or boss fleet

[atomic abyss]

Whichever needs more help

She's very very strong on both

[boreal wagon]

the first tab is just for the art yes, the rest of them are non empty

[cobalt rapids]

lion is the highest damage but it doesnt mean shes the best for bossing

[paper walrus]

people in this chat have said this im not gonna go through the messages

[atomic abyss]

Whatever it is

The fact is they're the 2 best BBs for bossing

Lion is just good at more things

[ivory pawn]

As a note, the boss’ level, as well as amount of rewards she gives, will increase with every battle up to 15. The rewards cap out at 375 points per battle iirc.

[wanton dawn]

is it worth it to sacrifice mvp xp from using unicorn if I can farm for a higher map

[wanton dawn]

and is this per oil?

[cobalt rapids]

if ure capped from awakening ships by cogs yes
if u have plenty of cogs but ships that want xp no

[cobalt rapids]

yes its per oil

[wanton dawn]

right ok that makes sense thank you so much!

[keen cove]

what about for the event that has already reran

[atomic abyss]

At least 1 year till they become permanent

Sometimes more

[keen cove]

you can tell from my pfp that I really want to get Blucher

[atomic abyss]

Oof

[keen cove]

I literally started playing AL right after the reran 😭

[atomic abyss]

At least a year
Maybe more

[viscid swift]

ehh, you'll be waiting for a bit still

[atomic abyss]

They delayed her rerun a fair bit to begin with

[keen cove]

I will wait patiently

[keen cove]

oo

[severe tinsel]

So this fleet is good enough for now. When do I need to change or upgrade? With what?

[keen cove]

wait so like, the ships from the event will be permanently available or the event will get rerun again

[atomic abyss]

Permanent

[stoic basalt]

Guys how poopoo are the new collab ships? Much trash or acceptable trash?

[atomic abyss]

We don't know
They look decent

[keen cove]

O i see I see thanks
tho I have one question, what about Hipper Meta

[viscid swift]

how should we know, we just got them

[spice phoenix]

i have some spare UR bulins, so should i spend them on mogador, z52, or trafalgar?

[atomic abyss]

Dec 2024 + At least 2 years

[atomic abyss]

Z52, no question

[viscid swift]

you'll be waiting over a year and a half still, it only ran in December last year

[stoic basalt]

I've seen people get lion to 125 in a day + review 😭

[atomic abyss]

Impossible

[keen cove]

Oo I see thanks, was asking for a friend about the hipper meta

[atomic abyss]

Review is impossible

[viscid swift]

you can get ion to 125 day 1 but you can't max her skills or even come close to that on day 1

[atomic abyss]

Cos it'll take you at least 10 days to max her 2 damaging skills

[keen cove]

I see- thxx

[viscid swift]

it took me the best part of 2 weeks to get her damage skills maxed

[elfin hollow]

can everyone else here add black rock shooter or dead master to their fleets? theyre not showing up when i try to add them to my formations, and i have no filters on

[cobalt rapids]

people did maths on lion
they didnt now

[viscid swift]

they're main fleets btw

and yes

[atomic abyss]

BRS is a BC

DM is a CV

[elfin hollow]

oh.... in the demo thing she was frontline for some reason

tyty

[atomic abyss]

My 🔮 says
BRS is a better Hood at minimum
DM should be comparable to the Essexes

[stoic basalt]

Jimmy had an overview for both Trafalgar and lion the day after update dropped 🙏

[viscid swift]

yes, plenty of people did

[atomic abyss]

It doesn't mean it's an accurate test/review

If anything testing revealed Lion is more cracked than we thought

[cobalt rapids]

if new event gold bc doesnt beat hood it would be sad

[patent pivot]

yeah its a real shame there isnt some way to check max power as soon as we get datamine 😔

[viscid swift]

wasn't exactly difficult even from some pretty rudamentary number crunching to see lion was busted

and Trafalgar is mainly support and you don't need that much testing for that

[atomic abyss]

I'm not sure if she's better than Stella really
That's the bar she has to meet

[viscid swift]

plus as said earlier, a lot more poeple actually cared about Lion and Trafalgar than these 2

[hushed sorrel]

testing? i am so luck to have you guys <3

[viscid swift]

anyway, a very safe bet at this point would be they're decent

good for new players lacking on ships but they're not gonna be anything other than collection for late game players

[little tree]

~~ poor cheeky needs more cogs he doesn't have to 120 them ~~

[viscid swift]

You have no idea

[elfin hollow]

im surprised the ryza ships had good ships in them, most collab ships are usually kinda poor

[pastel pendant]

fellas, should I get Bismarck or Hood?

[viscid swift]

nah, since DOA collab ships have been solid

[little tree]

with event gold ships ~~ you hope you pull dupes so it saves your bullin count as well~~ for the newbies

[viscid swift]

if you're lacking in good BBs Hood, otherwise if you need IB tech get Bismarck or Tirpitz

[pastel pendant]

I have rodney

[cobalt rapids]

homura is at the top of sub meta

[viscid swift]

Hood is better

[pastel pendant]

ill get both

[viscid swift]

but BRS is probably better than both so

[little tree]

Hows brs compared to Marco and Nelson?

[keen cove]

What should I mainly use the gems for? tho I didn't do any in-game purchase and I'm planning not to-

[little tree]

Docks space

Dorm floor 2 and 1 dorm slot

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Gem Spending 101

Gems in Azur Lane are fairly rare from an F2P perspective. However, the gacha in Azur lane does not require gems and their main usage is expansion of facilities like dorm, academy, docks and depot, as well as buying resources, resource packs, premium items (rings and name change), and skins.

As an F2P, you can get up to 4700 guaranteed gems (3750 for 3* clearing all 15 main campaign worlds, 800 for completing Bands collection and 150 for 8 days login campaign), not counting random gems from commissions or occasional bonuses from events or other sources.

Considering limited availability of gems for F2P players, even if spent exclusively on QoL upgrades, it is impossible to upgrade everything.

This is the recommended way to spend gems as an F2P:

• 3rd Dorm slot (300 gems)
• Dorm 2nd floor (500 gems)
• Dock space (remaining gems)

The main purpose of the dorm is for faster morale regen while grinding. Using ships with 0 morale will receive a 50% exp penalty and lose affinity.

The 2nd floor of the dorm will have the same number of slots as the 1st floor. While it lacks passive exp gain, it has faster morale regen. 3 dorm slots with the 2nd floor gives you a total of 6 slots, which is enough for your whole mob fleet.

Dock space is the biggest constraint for players. While this can help casual players collect all their waifus, there is also practical use in collecting ships - for later levelling to get their fleet tech on reaching lvl 120. These are important for players as they provide crucial additional stats that help players to tackle the hardest content (W14/15, H.Arbiters, CM).

Alternatively, players may consider getting the 3rd Academy slot for faster skill training or more dorm slots instead of just dock space (not recommended).

While players may opt to buy skins/rings with the F2P gems, this will come at the cost of QoL. It is recommended to only buy those with real money 💳.

[little tree]

Whoops

[neat karma]

Guys who is better unicorn or dead master?

[celest shoal]

Unicorn

[neat karma]

Thanks

[heavy zealot]

Do i really be saving rn ;-;? Got current banner units already

[neat karma]

Which two of them?
Amagi chan laffey helena

[keen cove]

oo i see thx-

[little tree]

Amagi chan goes on the bench

[lethal yarrow]

Can someone tell me if META ships are good or if they are not worth using and how they work?

[neat karma]

Ok
But how would I know if a new ship i got is better than the one a I have instead of asking here each time for every ship

[little tree]

Are you using the begginer fleet and under chaoter 11?

There is also a tier list for na that give you an idea but isn't great past world 11

[little tree]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/ca

Just worry about rasing the begginer fleet atm if your using that still.

[neat karma]

My Fleet is
Hood lvl 51 4 star
Volga lvl 46 4 star
Unicorn lvl 27 2 star
Little agi lvl 43 3 star
Laffey lvl 39 2 star
Helena lvl 25 2 star

[viscid swift]

as usual it's on a ship by ship case

[cobalt robin]

I'm a returning player from like 2021, didn't know much about this game and still don't. I have no idea if any of the units I leveled are any good. I'm down for any tips and suggestions. I'm level 50 and at chapter 8 (yes me very noob)

[viscid swift]

the elites are usually bad and the SRs are usually solid to mediocre

[neat karma]

Chapter 4 currently

[little tree]

Play event then after push chapters with that fleet

[viscid swift]

might wanna give that a read but for now your fleet should consist of
Hood, Unicorn, Enterprise, Eugen, starter, Montpelier

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

[little tree]

~~ he could use sandy sine she is alright lb twice~~

[neat karma]

I also got the special invitation which should I choose?

[lethal yarrow]

Ok. So unless i need a slot filled in my fleet, i should not really bother using them that much. Thank you.

[little tree]

Save for now they won't really help you atm.

[neat karma]

My dock

[little tree]

Focus on your 1 fleet retro uni asap

[viscid swift]

Once and no way to craft her unique augment

[little tree]

~~ oh yea that's right no level 70~~

[neat karma]

Currently trying to do so

[little tree]

Just limit break your fleet 1 ships as soon as you can it.

[neat karma]

Like increase the stars?

[little tree]

Yes

[neat karma]

Ok
Thanks for the help
I feel like I understand the game a little bit more now

[cobalt robin]

So my current units are a waste? 😔

[unborn owl]

is it fine to put BRS to mob farm to gain event point?

[winter quartz]

in chinese tier list first pic is for mob fleet and the second one for boss or what's going on out there? (this one https://wiki.biligame.com/blhx/井号碧蓝榜合集#/media/文件:认知觉醒主线推荐榜.jpg)

[viscid swift]

Right now, some of them are just not good and you don't have the bullins to use them

[wind girder]

Are the planes from monthly core ever better than normal options or are they all just fun historical references

[cobalt robin]

What abt eugen? Since she's maxed

[viscid swift]

first is for W15, 2nd if for OpSi

but we already have this for a tier list for endgame and in English

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[thorn tartan]

pulled lion at 183! I had good luck the last couple events so the force is getting balanced I guess. I get another copy at 200 right?

[forest palm]

some of them are better, but they're not worth the opportunity cost, top it off that Gear Lab exists now

[viscid swift]

I missed her, use her in place of Portland

[little tree]

How many cubes u got

[viscid swift]

if you're not that short on cubes and lacking bullins sure

[thorn tartan]

over 2000

[viscid swift]

definitely then

[little tree]

Oh yea go for it

[strange path]

Over 2000 jesus christ

[cobalt robin]

Alright, anything else I should focus on?

[thorn tartan]

idk, i just do lots of commissions, they pile up

[viscid swift]

farm the event for as long as you can and then push the main campaign

also keep on top of your gears

[strange path]

You can also take a look at the shipyard, maybe you can do some xp collection. Also look at the handbook + returnee rewards + dev missions it’ll catch you up on shipyard

[cobalt robin]

I did part 1 and 2 but can't go any further in hard mode, my average level is too low

[viscid swift]

keep farming C2 then

and pull on the current event banner for Lion

[strange path]

Your returnee missions or handbook gives you a bunch of xp books for your ships. I think it’s 300-400 to go from level 1 to 100 on a ship

[unborn owl]

is dead master and brs good?

[viscid swift]

yeah it would be a waste to do that

[cobalt robin]

Alright and should I get anything here?

[cobalt robin]

.

[hushed sorrel]

how do you use yours?

[hushed sorrel]

the gun is good and a nice addition to any acc

[viscid swift]

I book ships to level 70 and then grind the rest of the way

[hushed sorrel]

but there is a book cap. you need to use them somehow

[viscid swift]

Yeah and I do

Not gonna spend excessively though when it's unnecessary frankly

[cobalt robin]

This right?

[cobalt robin]

Can I have some?

[hushed sorrel]

atleast you can say you use them efficient

[viscid swift]

Anyway, you seem to be misunderstanding why I said what I did to them

Yes you can indeed book a ship to level 100

[cobalt robin]

Do I also get double the roses with this?

[viscid swift]

But not only is it wasteful, especially for someone who doesn't have my reserves but they also can't limit break many ships because they lack bullins and such

[viscid swift]

Yes but you also spend double the oil, morale, etc

[cobalt robin]

Should I?

[hushed sorrel]

i thought it was meant for the main team and not a random ship

[cobalt robin]

I have 21k oil rn but the morale is pretty low sadge

[hushed sorrel]

depends, if you have the time i would always say no. some mission say run X time a event map and it doesnt count x2 for that

[viscid swift]

it's strictly a timer saver, if you don't have the time then use them

[cobalt robin]

I have time it's fine

Thanks for the help, I'll be back again

[viscid swift]

also, don't use non MLB ships in your fleet

they're garbage compared to MLB ships

[cobalt robin]

I don't know what that means sorry :-:

[viscid swift]

max limit break

[cobalt robin]

Ohh

Well I only have 2 mlb

[viscid swift]

precisely why you need to reconfigure a bit

[viscid swift]

get these ships here leveled up if they aren't already

[cobalt robin]

Yea I'll use the ones you mentioned above but need to level them first

[viscid swift]

and proritize bullins for them

[cobalt robin]

I habe a lot of purple bullins

[hushed sorrel]

i used mine with lv 1 in the event. you just need to greatly boost survivability

[viscid swift]

actually fuck it, may as well use Montpelier instead of Helena

[young heron]

is it worth to spend gold bullins to mlb for tech or should i save them

[cobalt robin]

I could mlb her..

[viscid swift]

yes, do it

[viscid swift]

if you have no more SRs to level to push content sure

[cobalt robin]

Is it worth it tho? Only have 4 gold bullins

[cobalt robin]

Can't do that :-:

[young heron]

i do but i feel like im wasting so much time not developing any pr/dr ships

[viscid swift]

yes, SR Bullins are time gated but they're not that rare

if you manage your spending it'll be fine

plus she's already level 80+, at limit break 2 and you have a dupe you can use

[young heron]

like xp that couldve gone into combat data collection is just being wasted rn

[cobalt robin]

Belfast and Graf are also at 5/6

[viscid swift]

Graf can't do what Unicorn does, Belfast is also pretty mediocre and you'll need torp and eva stat

[viscid swift]

uhh, I'm not sure how the 2 are mutually exclusive

[young heron]

wait quick question am i allowed to develop ships from different series at the same time

[viscid swift]

no, you can only develop one ship at a time

[hushed sorrel]

you get 1 sr bulin in weekly, through pvp, login bonus, events, other stuff.
maybe 8 per month for a good active player

[cobalt robin]

So max her asap?

[viscid swift]

at least get her to level 70 and MLB her yes

[cobalt robin]

I just need coins :-:

[viscid swift]

also note, higher rarity doesn't automatically mean better in AL

[viscid swift]

get farming C2 then

[cobalt robin]

Any way to farm coins?

[cobalt robin]

Alright

[hushed sorrel]

if you are lucky you got some in the mail. update and all

[quick grotto]

Would any ships in particular be good partners for Lion? I don't know that many ships yet so I'm not sure what synergies would be there. xD

[cobalt robin]

Sadge

[hushed sorrel]

check your ingame storage or did you already collect them?

[young heron]

wait does w10 onward require multiple clears for 100%

[sweet delta]

Always has

[hushed sorrel]

it should have been even before w10

[cobalt rapids]

they changed it

[young heron]

when i did w9 just had to clear each stage once

[hushed sorrel]

:o

[cobalt rapids]

ye pre w10 is 1 clear now

newbies rejoice

[young heron]

lowkey glad theyre making me clear multiple times forces me to 3 star

[hushed sorrel]

its not that bad. i did do a lot more than you and i didnt think it was to much.

[cobalt robin]

Collect what?

[hushed sorrel]

all coins and oil you collect from mails go into the storage and you need to collect them a second time to have access to spend them ingame

like the update compensation from today

[cobalt robin]

I don't see it

[young heron]

in your mail

[hushed sorrel]

its a submenu in mails

[cobalt robin]

Ohh the mail storage I'm dumb

4k gold les go

[hushed sorrel]

hopefully its enough to let you start your grind run =)

[young heron]

i got no oil and no coins cant do anything 😭

[cobalt robin]

Imma keep farming the event stage for a bit longer

[hushed sorrel]

i rec operation siren. a new meta just today

[young heron]

also used all of my tokens

[cobalt robin]

I already have 21k oil and there's 8k more in mail, I need coins tho 😔

[young heron]

are u able to farm the d stages in the event?

[cobalt robin]

I can do hard up to c2

[young heron]

just farm that then until u can move up

[hushed sorrel]

i tried to use all my action points in op.siren but i get more recover items than i need ... also checked the dock store and dailies? you can get a lot of cheap action points

[young heron]

wait u can resupply action points? omfg

[hushed sorrel]

its one of the chests in the storage

[forest palm]

just don't use Oil to refill AP

[wheat ore]

is helena retro worth it? I finished san diego a while ago and have nothing to retrofit

[cobalt robin]

Im out here multitasking lmao

[forest palm]

if only for the extra stats, sure

[undone plover]

if u dont have anyone else then sure
U will be using helena a lot for late game bosses (until u stop using her) and her retrofit is needed to hit certain timers

[hushed sorrel]

you dont need to emulate the discord or is that your actual phone?
in pc you can run multiple accounts with multiple browser and or the program

[cobalt robin]

I'm on phone

Don't have access to a computer rn

[hushed sorrel]

thats fine just play as you like.

[cobalt robin]

@hushed sorrel btw can you explain to me what retrofit is? I read that I should retrofit uni

[young heron]

looking to replace cleveland in my boss vg should i do montpelier or san fran

[hushed sorrel]

only certain ships have access to a retrofit. it boosts stats and increases the rarity by one

[cobalt robin]

How do you do that?

[hushed sorrel]

go into your dock and activate the filter "retrofit available"

[swift hornet]

Fdg better than New Jersey for OPSI mob fleet?

[hushed sorrel]

click at any ship and you see one more submenu

[hushed sorrel]

look left from its name is "retrofit" a big arrow

[cobalt robin]

So I need to complete these then uni a higher rarity as well?

[full plank]

ay guys uhh
how do i prevent my shipgirls dying
just level up for more hp or what

[hushed sorrel]

you usually do all of them since its good stats but its very expensive in coins

[gray grove]

is there a way toturn this off?

[cobalt robin]

And I'm poor rn 😔

Is Sandi retro worth it?

[hushed sorrel]

if you need a good analysis you should prepare screenshots and maybe even open a thread. i am not good with fleet building myself but thats the usual steps

[hushed sorrel]

i am not good with fleet building myself. i dont know

[full plank]

screenshots of what specifically

[hushed sorrel]

your ships with equip with the description what you try to do

[full plank]

ohhh ty

[cobalt robin]

All good thanks for the help tho

[hushed sorrel]

ryza is one of the people who does also help with fleet building. so you can trust what he/she told you

[viscid swift]

for you right now no

you can't even craft her unique augment so she's pretty worthless right now

[young heron]

replace cleveland with san fran or montpel in my boss vg?

[viscid swift]

of the 2 probably San Fran but

[cobalt robin]

Okay

[viscid swift]

not the most substantial upgrade truth be told

[atomic abyss]

san fran is fine

monty needs aug to even be decent

[viscid swift]

not really no considering OpSi mobbing skews a bit more toward single target

[atomic abyss]

also it is a big jump from cleve regardless

unless you're fishing assaul order procs which is

[brittle oasis]

Efficient way to get coins?

[atomic abyss]

12-4 outside events

D3 if you're still grinding the event

[hushed sorrel]

if you are already done with the event you can even get the coins from the event shop

[brittle oasis]

I just came back after 3 years of not playing, just started again yesterday

[young heron]

is there a higher chance of dropping gold retro mats from higher hard mode stages?

[full plank]

chapter 6 rn

what two fleets to use and should i grind some stages for characters

[atomic abyss]

anecdotal data says yes, but marginally
more important is the increased core data

[cobalt robin]

I can only do hard up to c2, should I farm that or D3 easy?

[atomic abyss]

stick with your current beginner fleet 1

you want to over level where you are in the game

[full plank]

aight
any fleet 2 build?

anyone to retrofit?

[atomic abyss]

unicorn and portland

[river junco]

Don’t worry about a second fleet for now, you don’t need one yet

[full plank]

igh
on stages i see many ship types
which ones do i go for until the boss

and also there are some triangles next to them

[atomic abyss]

it doesnt matter where you are in the game

challenge 3 triangles for more exp if you're overlevelled af

[tulip arrow]

U may want to farm 2-2 for Nelson and retrofit her.
Also farm 4-4 for the extra Unicorn copies to MLB and retrofit her.

[atomic abyss]

no lmfao

[young heron]

that takes way too long

[atomic abyss]

lion is there, why would he need nelson

purple bulins exist for unicorn

BRS also looks to be better than nelson anyways

by the time he even needs a second fleet we'd know how good BRS is anyways

[full plank]

so what are the triangles next to mobs
some have 1
2
3

[atomic abyss]

difficulty

[full plank]

ohhh

[atomic abyss]

more triangle more difficult but more drops

[tulip arrow]

He lost on w6, a second BB sounds like what he needs. And we'll, I prefer using bulin on ships I can't farm for

[atomic abyss]

nope

purple bulins are given in abundance

you dont need a second BB anytime soon

lion is so broken anyways

[full plank]

well
not lost but my javelin took some damage

[atomic abyss]

the issue is that lion should really use a limit break

[full plank]

no suicide ships or planes just normal shots

[atomic abyss]

problem can be solved if his frontliners and non UR backliners are max limit broken

[young heron]

hows ur gear looking

[full plank]

ill get a bulin for her
she needs rainbow right?

[tulip arrow]

Hope she can take care of all the suicide boats then

[atomic abyss]

she definitely can lmao

[full plank]

pretty aight my backline barely gets hit

[young heron]

any repair kits for ur frontline? u said ur frontline is taking sizeable dmg

[full plank]

also whats recon value
airspace and ACV

[full plank]

didnt find any but i have the free daily one

[tulip arrow]

I see, sorry for intruding on your territory, alpha

[atomic abyss]

they are not relevant features where you are at
in short they give you buffs if you hit the required stats

[full plank]

oh

when will they be relevant?

[atomic abyss]

w13, maybe w12 on lethal

it's as simple as use more carriers

which is why we dont run 2 BBs usually

[sweet delta]

And definitely not 6 BBs

[atomic abyss]

sushi, there's an idea
w15 with 6 BBs and only support CVs

[hushed sorrel]

thats fine. if you have more fun with your way you do your own thing.
its just not the recommended way for the usual player

[atomic abyss]

ok is that even possible
maybe 6 non CV/L

[viscid swift]

suchi did it in W15

[atomic abyss]

6 BBs?

[viscid swift]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apFAslkDn8k&t=461s

not even support fleet was utilized

[atomic abyss]

would be easier now with kazan wouldnt it

[full plank]

aight so with SO MANY ship types

what is each one good for

[atomic abyss]

"depends"

[full plank]

so i can save it somewhere for reeference

[viscid swift]

don't generalize ship capbailties by hull type

[sweet delta]

I don't think I would use Kazan were I to do that again

[full plank]

how do i know their purposes then

[atomic abyss]

because different ships in the same hull type have different roles

you look at their kit

stats, efficiencies, skills etc

[viscid swift]

consult a guide, read their stats and skills, and/or ask here

[full plank]

aight explain rq

[viscid swift]

you can't really lamo

[atomic abyss]

frankly

the only explanation i can give is

[sweet delta]

Basic math and understanding of formulas can get you part way

But there are so many hidden things or complex mechanics that will fly over your head

[hushed sorrel]

its so much to consider if you miss a single thing you get all wrong.

[atomic abyss]

"defensive skills + good HP/Eva" = tank
"high efficiencies + strong dmg skill" = dps

etc etc
it's not so easy to generalise tho

in fact, i just wouldnt generalise at all

[full plank]

aight and last
whats efficiencies

like extra dmg to planes/ships?

[atomic abyss]

dmg modifier

[sweet delta]

The percentage multiplier on the ship's weapon slot

[viscid swift]

equipment slot efficiencies, just a direct damage multiplier

[atomic abyss]

I mean the slot efficiencies like shown here

[honest stirrup]

Do the large heavy mob fleets in w15 have subs and/or a lot of planes?

[little tree]

~~ a +6 beacon~~

[full plank]

man i NEED pseychie to drop a bootcamp for azur lane like he did with nikke

[atomic abyss]

it wouldnt work

nikke is a much much simpler game

[cobalt rapids]

only recon nodes have subs
all nodes have planes in various quantities

[full plank]

i need anyone really to explain this to me in dumdum language

[atomic abyss]

it's not relevant to you

if you want to learn the game

first start with the relevant content

[full plank]

so whats the relevant content for me rn

[honest stirrup]

Yes but is it a lot?
As in, does that currently selected fleet have any chance of clearing the remaining mob

[atomic abyss]

basic fleet building and gears

gears being the largest headache

if you're not at w9 it's basically the early early game

[cobalt rapids]

most likely not because 3* bb nodes are the toughest enemy in w15
would not leave them for last

[sweet delta]

Have you considered doing safe threat

[cobalt rapids]

does musashi fleet have any sustain and/or are they healthy mby they can clear it

[viscid swift]

I don't know why you would save the hardest enemy for your last lamo

[sweet delta]

It looks like Musashi fleet was used for some mob

[viscid swift]

3 star BB fleets are terrifying out of ammo even with better fleets

[honest stirrup]

I found the recon fleets to be insanely harder

[atomic abyss]

did you forget to bring a hedgehog and asw plane

[cobalt rapids]

do u have asw ?

[honest stirrup]

A large heavy mob, but they're full health

[viscid swift]

use ASW equips?

[cobalt rapids]

or lion

[honest stirrup]

Using hedgehog on Sandy and purple depth charge on Shimanto

[viscid swift]

why aren't you using an ASW plane on Unicorn

[cobalt rapids]

recon nodes should be neutral or positive can u show ur gear ?

[full plank]

any way to make torpedos planes and artillery charge faster?

[cobalt rapids]

yes theres a few ways

[atomic abyss]

use decent gear
level and limit break your ships

[full plank]

any specific stats to look out for?

[atomic abyss]

thats the wrong priority

[honest stirrup]

(No asw on backline)

[atomic abyss]

yes you would look at reload, but having decent gear goes a long way

[viscid swift]

why aren't San Diego and Shimanto using rudders

and Unicorn should be using an ASW plane especially for a lethal 3 star

[full plank]

ASW?

[honest stirrup]

They could, but aren't like, 80% of the damage done by torps?

[viscid swift]

also Shimanto should be using either faster torps, same as Anchorage or regular torps

[cobalt rapids]

maybe change to double line on recon nodes and give them rudder indeed

[viscid swift]

no lamo

[atomic abyss]

true that torps are a threat but uh
using a rudder to evade said torps is just... better

[viscid swift]

the torps hit hard in W15 yes but they don't make up 80% of the damage dealt to your vanguard

[atomic abyss]

bulge would be a replacement for a tookit not a rudder

and in the first place - these are light armoured folk anyways

[viscid swift]

I'd also move the Sextuple to San Diego or Shimanto and 57mm to Guam

[honest stirrup]

Yeah forgot to do that

[honest stirrup]

The iris blue twin torps is going to do the trick?

[viscid swift]

yes

[cobalt rapids]

shimanto torp is fine imo

[viscid swift]

I just don't see the point of the Triple Mags here tbh

rather an awkward middle ground

[cobalt rapids]

can we see backline gear aswell ?

[viscid swift]

yes, that might not be helping

[honest stirrup]

Sure about the rudder thing, but I don't see a world where it solves my problem, since my vanguard never even go under 50% on said recon fleets. I just find insane how a few submarines can instantly destroy my unicorn
My vanguard is looking bad on my ss because I messed up a large CV right before that but otherwise they're the last of my worries

[viscid swift]

like I said, with enough ASW subs shouldn't be getting through even without ammo

[honest stirrup]

The TBM Avenger one?

[cobalt rapids]

honestly im surprised ur leaking so much subs with +13 hedge and dc

[viscid swift]

Fairey Gannet from the gear lab would be better but yes

my guess is that the vanguard is just out of range and such

[cobalt rapids]

ig the range is on the small err side

[viscid swift]

also vanguard is a bit slower

[honest stirrup]

Not sure. At one point I've noticed Unicorn dying quite fast so I manually took control and followed a submarine ALL THE WAY to the backline only barely killing it

[cobalt rapids]

tf

[gray grove]

So since i cant put her in dorm , how long will it take till she recovers her affinity

[cobalt rapids]

was it a ooa fight ?

[honest stirrup]

Yes

[cobalt rapids]

ig i can see it then

[atomic abyss]

fully?
(150-30) / 40
so 3h
will be faster with onsen

[gray grove]

I can put her in onsen?

[full plank]

guys where can i view a list of all ships in game
in the game itself

is there a gallery maybe?

[atomic abyss]

oh wait

my math failed

i dont think you can put her in onsen

actually why even use her as NPC

[atomic abyss]

wiki

[gray grove]

So i can claim her

[viscid swift]

Tap momento, then archives

or the use the wiki

[atomic abyss]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/List_of_Ships
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/ships

Easier to use these

[viscid swift]

you don't need to use her to get her

[gray grove]

Oh , how then?

[viscid swift]

you just get more points to unlock her if you use her in the boss fleet

[gray grove]

So auto and sortie doesn't work?

[viscid swift]

just read what it says in game there

[little tree]

~~ cheeky is s big spender ~~

[harsh gust]

just play the game normally and she'll unlock once mission is available

[little tree]

Im assuming thier augs come with unlocks as well ?

[viscid swift]

yes

[forest palm]

all in all it's pretty straightforward

[viscid swift]

yep

[little tree]

I like straight forward

[gray grove]

Is farming this ok then?

[viscid swift]

yes

[gray grove]

Thank god

[fervent leaf]

what ships should i use for which fleets? (ex. Warspite for boss fleet or uni for mob fleet)

[viscid swift]

well for a start, what are these fleets for

[little tree]

[little tree]

For chapters or opsi

[fervent leaf]

chapters

[viscid swift]

which chapter of the main campaign exactly

[blissful spade]

I don't see any "check-in" options

[viscid swift]

tap "head to the island"

[fervent leaf]

i'm on 12-3 rn

[blissful spade]

and then?

[blissful spade]

does it only unlock after I complete all the missions?

[viscid swift]

weired

[little tree]

Post you dock of all ultra and super rare in a thread

[forest palm]

you have to exhaust dialogue options

[fervent leaf]

URs and SRSs

[blissful spade]

alright, thanks

[honest stirrup]

Update on this
Turns out the enemy flag is just insanely weak so my boss fleet had no problem clearing both of them

Thanks guys I'll look into that asw plane meanwhile

[blissful spade]

I still don't see it

[viscid swift]

and you don't have the skin?

[blissful spade]

can someone show me what their interface would look like?

[viscid swift]

the issue is most of us finished the event and got the skin before the main event and Villa dropped

[ornate narwhal]

What should I do my daily pull on now that I have yat sen and aurora

[atomic abyss]

continue with daily light

or daily light wishing well i guess

[ornate narwhal]

Should I still do wishing well?

[forest palm]

have you checked the a whole map though? like have you done all the bubbles you can see?

[atomic abyss]

why not

aurora and yat means it's light isnt it

[ornate narwhal]

I got both rated up ships so isn’t it kinda not worth it? Or am I misunderstanding?

[blissful spade]

I got the skin

thanks guys

[atomic abyss]

dupes are fine, not much else worth in light elite pool anyways
hope you get spooked by an SR

[ornate narwhal]

Ok

[rigid onyx]

I'm confused; why would you do wishing well with both wished ships already acquired over the base light pool?

[atomic abyss]

what's the difference

[rigid onyx]

marginally lower rates of getting new elite ships

[atomic abyss]

which is a nothing burger

dupe yat or aurora could save a bulin or 2

[ornate narwhal]

Should I get the dr prints or arrays or meta crystals first

[rigid onyx]

dupe purple bulins are even more of a nothing burger

[ornate narwhal]

Wait did I accidentally buy an extra crystal?

[tame jungle]

she can drop from d3

[viscid swift]

no final limit break needs 2 remember

and any excess crystals will autmoatically get converted into META crystals for the meta shop

[ornate narwhal]

Ohhh right

[forest palm]

[wheat ore]

a few people have told me that I have a month to explore op si, is there a reason to that? Does something reset after a month?

[atomic abyss]

opsi once you complete chapter 4 of opsi is on a monthly reset cycle for the map

your clears on the map reset every month, allowing you to get more rewards
same for the shop
same for the bosses

[wheat ore]

ah okay that make sense ty

[loud scarab]

From looking in the rewards it looks I will get another copy of the npc ship? How many copies of each ship do I get from event rewards?

Asking in order to see how many bulins needed

[viscid swift]

no, thats when you unlock her fully and she stays in your port permantly

[loud scarab]

Ah it works like that I see. It's a new event format for me. So I can use bulins. Ty for the answer

[brittle oasis]

Is there a megadoc where I can see what loadouts are best for my ships

[viscid swift]

no

[soft raft]

/equip but you can give the first link here a read for what's generally considered good gear in this game

[viscid swift]

yes

[river junco]

yeah, new event today where you can get it if you complete the (timegated) goals

[glossy granite]

Ok so first goal is resupply 5 times dorm

[river junco]

yeah, then next goal unlocks tomorrow

[glossy granite]

Alhamdulillah

Free admiral nakhimov skin, eid mubarak comming early 😭

[sage wyvern]

Can you not put NPCs into the dorm or onsen?

[atomic abyss]

nope, never

[crisp raven]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Little_Ruler_of_the_Abyssal_Kingdom correct. you can tap on the npc tag ingame for a popup, but the wiki includes all of the cans and cants. linking little agir for example, but all npc ships worl the same unless explicitly stated otherwise

[loud scarab]

my secretary ship shows up in the guild lobby with her default skin instead of the skin she has set, is there a way to fix it?

[ivory pawn]

Go to profile, tap skins bottom left, and make sure there is no ✅ on the screen that pops up.

[stark quiver]

is 60% slow enough for kirov meta

[inner idol]

Are the brs units good? Because to me they don't seem too crazy but might be missing something

[viscid swift]

I don't think we used a slow at all in the og comps so

[stark quiver]

enty gaming ig

[storm olive]

This should work for Kirov meta right?

[viscid swift]

maybe?

[stark quiver]

why hinden gun on unzen

[viscid swift]

Pierce probably

[loud scarab]

the hide is not selected

[little tree]

Have any of the meta fights been hard as in they kill your ships?

[sweet delta]

What does grand bomb do

[tame jungle]

yes

[slow fox]

/wiki Grand Bomb

[odd root]

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

[sweet delta]

The earliest metas (for the level 120 ships we had at the time), jintsuu, Arizona, Wichita, repulse, renown, and more

Throw in Scharn and gneisenau too

[tame jungle]

can warspite's snipe hit targets in concealment (read: CVs in pvp)

[viscid swift]

no

[forest palm]

being Warspite is to suffer

[tame jungle]

wake up grandma, it's time to do PvP

[bleak dock]

Good?

[tame jungle]

no

[hollow gust]

its fine, u usually wont use it

if your torp dd doesnt have trouble surviving , its a worse oxytorp

[forest palm]

most cases it's just HM stat pading

[left wasp]

So does the BRS mission progress faster if you put her in a fleet that goes into battles more
or you can just put her in a any fleet and you can just progress based on completion on sorties

[viscid swift]

you will double your trust points gained if she is in the fleet that fights the boss

[left wasp]

ohh ok

I replaced NJ with BRS just for the mission point farming (In the hardmode event map of course)
should be fine as I have a MLB-ed Enty, and Yorktown II

[ornate narwhal]

How good is Nelson? Like is she as good as hood?

[hollow gust]

sidegrade

[ornate narwhal]

So worth upgrading?

[stark quiver]

depends on your current dock

[ornate narwhal]

Is black rock shooter better than Li? Also does she want flag?

[hollow gust]

Li?

[ornate narwhal]

Long Island

[hollow gust]

If you mean Long Island basically everyone is better then her

[ornate narwhal]

This is who I have, who should I replace her with

[sinful escarp]

long island was only given so that you will have a main fleet ship at the start, she is only +1 rld at 120

[weary gust]

reload is good tech though. Also Lion.

[left wasp]

Is BRS ok for off-flag mob fleet?

[ornate narwhal]

No bullins…

[weary gust]

Then use them on her as you get them.

[ornate narwhal]

I was told not to use her until I get her mlb

[sweet delta]

You were told wrong

[ornate narwhal]

But why is she worth using if she only has like 25% of her dmg

[sinful escarp]

worth using if you are just starting and dont have much options.

non mlb lion at low levels is still better than partially limit broken random ships at low level

[left wasp]

hmm
I wanna use an Implacable/Shinano/CV Amagi comp but idk how to sync

[weary gust]

Lion is broken op enough that even at 0lmb she's going to be better than most options, her skills will still be full damage, and you'll have her leveled for when you do get more bulins. If you had other UR ships at 120 or even just good SRs leveled then it wouldn't make sense to use Lion at 0mlb, but that isn't your situation.

[left wasp]

I see the maju pilot and few other gears for that purpose
and a few skills iirc

[weary gust]

There are four aimed torp bombers you can swap around to adjust timing. You want launch times to generally be no more than 0.2s apart, with the stop in the middle. Homing Beacons and Elite Manjuus are a last resort for timing, it's better to use double steam catapults if you can.

Fighters and dive bombers you select based on enemy armor type.

[ornate narwhal]

So it doesn’t matter that I can mlb brs or death master? They are worse than lion

[weary gust]

I haven't looked at the collab ships yet but collab ships are generally eh to good. Lion is the most OP ship in the game atm.

So yes, still probably Lion.

[ornate narwhal]

Ok but the problem is it’ll take me like 2months+ to upgrade her completely…

[weary gust]

You'll get a free UR bulin from cruise missions, +5k cores per month.

[ornate narwhal]

So yea 2 months…

[left wasp]

before I used to not pay attention to those missions
now I do but man it feels much slower

[weary gust]

Event milestones have one too if you can reach it.

[ornate narwhal]

Ok which gun should I give her for her 2ndary

Also what lvl can I get her to w/o limit breaking her

[hollow gust]

Still 2 months

[weary gust]

That one in the top left is good enough.

[meager zephyr]

why dont i see pr7 on the side

[bright glen]

Should I use torps with lower FR on Shimanto?

[viscid swift]

because PR7 doesn't have catchup yet

[meager zephyr]

ohh ok

[viscid swift]

yes, swap to the Qyad mags or even faster torps if you need to make use of her abiltiy to extinguish burns

[ornate narwhal]

What lvl should I upgrade her to using books?

[weary gust]

How many books do you have?

[ornate narwhal]

1100 blue

[weary gust]

Match her to the others then at 100 or so.

[meager zephyr]

where do i get these points

[weary gust]

/fleettech

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: How do I get more fleet technology points?
You get fleet tech points by:

1. Collecting the ship (~20%)
2. Max Limit Breaking it (~45%)
3. Achieving level 120 (~35%)

-Higher rarity ships gives more fleet tech pts .
-Heavier ship hulls also gives more fleet tech pts: CV=BB>CA>CL>DD

Side notes:
-PR ships give more fleet tech pts than normal but follow the above formula with development 30 replacing MLB.
-META ships are considered a separate META faction. They give same bonuses as their non-META versions.
-Collab ships, Muse and little versions of ships e.g. Li'l Sandy, Clevelad and Lena etc do not give any fleet tech pts.
-Iron Blood faction ships receive double the normal tech points compared to other nations.

For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki

[ornate narwhal]

Does she want flag?

[weary gust]

No, keep Hood there

[viscid swift]

seems unecessary, especially since they're so low in the main campaign

[meager zephyr]

so just get and lvl up ships of a certain faction?

[viscid swift]

something like level 70 would more tha sufficient

[jaunty pecan]

the lion event still lasts for another 6 days right

[viscid swift]

yes

[weary gust]

He's got the books and lion IS 0mlb, might as well have her not being held back more than necessary.

[viscid swift]

where are you again in the main campaign

[ornate narwhal]

Can’t start chapter 9 yet bc too low captain lvl

[brisk dragon]

about how many event point it starts to become a waste to farm more?

[viscid swift]

I wouldn't go past 55k as per usual

[weary gust]

~60k, assuming you haven't needed to buy ship copies for mlb/collection.

[brisk dragon]

im at 50k. didnt get the drop girl yet.

[viscid swift]

yes but booking Lion all the way to level 100 will take up nearly half of that level 100 and newer players can't exactly replensish them easily, especially when they're close to the point where they should start work on a 2nd fleet

[viscid swift]

just buy her if need be, no shame in it

[weary gust]

Lion at level 100 will help to generate more and it only takes like 250 to book to level 100.

[left wasp]

well I'm at the point where I'm headed for the blueprints
I already got my 2 copies of Trafalgar and the 8k needed to MLB the META ship (I got her from drops)
I'm kinda just farming for the milestone atp

[brisk dragon]

but i want to feel lucky :c is that too much to ask for :c

[weary gust]

Maybe 300 for a UR, they do need a bit more exp.

[viscid swift]

level 37 for a UR is about 26 books

[viscid swift]

considering that this is a resource management game more than anything else

[weary gust]

400 still isn't a lot imo but w/e. Can always book more if she's struggling. Start with 70 then I guess.

[brisk dragon]

wait i just noticed smth. where are the meta dupes in shop?

[weary gust]

The crystals for 2k.

That has been standard for METAs in events since ... the first time meta ships were included as event ships.

[brisk dragon]

oh its unobtaiable

was it always like this? unobtainable till u get first copy?

[weary gust]

Yes.

[brisk dragon]

dont remember so. weird. doesn't matter tho. will continue to farm first

[warped acorn]

is the fastest way to do meta is by doing low lv opsi

[crude jetty]

Who to MLB next? Azuma and Trafalgar are at the bottom, along with some bulins

[weary gust]

No, the fastest way is to clear c5 twice (to get 200 coords)

[warped acorn]

o

[fierce lantern]

I just got Aquila should I fully invest in her, I’ve seen people say she’s good but I’ve never seen why she’s good

[gusty olive]

Judgement of Kawakaze M performance and barrage?

[viscid swift]

Lion pretty easily

[viscid swift]

you should level her most likely and she's good because she's one of the best support healers in the game to supplement Uniocnr in late game campaign stages

[balmy skiff]

how good is Lion

[viscid swift]

difficult to say
according to Suchi she has near Plymouth level's of damage but that's with the caveat that her summon lives for it's entire duration which is rather unlikely so in practice her damage is lower

[sweet delta]

Better than sushi in any armor bossing

[viscid swift]

busted, pretty much the highest damage BB in the game

[twilit crow]

lion ehp? or has anyone done any ehp calcs on backline ships?

[gusty olive]

Dang, Lion gonna hard carry my HMS faction fleet so hard lol

[fringe sail]

Not really a gameplay question but
How often do events/event skin gets a rerun?

Because I'm in a dilemma
I have enough gems to buy BRS skin but also wanted the double ring pack
I already spent some money so yeah

[viscid swift]

events are rerun roughly 2 years after they originally ran before getting archived a year after

skins typically rerun every with the event and every Black Friday event in November if they weren't released/rerun before Late May/Early June

collabs you basically have to treat as a one time deal

because theres 0 gurantee they'll ever rerun

[fringe sail]

Thank you, I'll gonna get the skin then since it ain't the first time the ring packs appeared

[elfin hollow]

What's in this?

[viscid swift]

it's basically a build your own banner event with the permanent pools

if you're knew just ignore it and focus on the event banner

[elfin hollow]

Not new.

[viscid swift]

so are you asking what ships are in the pools?

[elfin hollow]

Yes, and priority.

[viscid swift]

first
do you have all the event ships, how many cubes do you have, do you have Bismarck Zwei, and the ships from the Atelier Ryza collab

[viscid swift]

for all in tent and purposes you're still new then

[elfin hollow]

So at what level are you not new?

[sweet delta]

You're not so much new as just not playing the game much

[viscid swift]

it varries from person to person but considering you're likely not even in W12 yet, you're definitely still new

[elfin hollow]

Yeah.

Wait Bishmark Zwei?

We're getting her rerun?

[viscid swift]

yes, Bismarck Zwei, she's rerunning sooner rather than later

as well as the Atelier Ryza collab

anyway, you might want to consider being a bit more active....

[elfin hollow]

Ok

[frank bloom]

after clearing the map in operation siren, what would be the best way to get more drops? like for circuits? would it be best to use the rest on explorable or smth else?

[viscid swift]

after clearing all the explorables, abyssals, strongholds, hidden modes, and arbiters

your only options are really to do your dailies, any strongholds that appear throughout the rest of the month with the excess AP being spent on repeating secured modes

[frank bloom]

good to know

thanks

[sweet delta]

[glad mortar]

It says I require something to unlock it, what do I need exactly?

[viscid swift]

switch B3 to hard mode and clear that

[brisk wind]

Hi guys, which auxiliaries should go on Trafalgar, same as Z52?

[viscid swift]

yes

[frank bloom]

[snow radish]

we get dead master for free too? 👀

[fair lance]

Both of the black rock shooter collab units are free yes

[snow radish]

Nice. Ty

[ebon pasture]

How do i lv up fast

[forest palm]

books

[ebon pasture]

Not ship lv

[forest palm]

farming with a full fleet

[forest palm]

any event D stages will have oil cap, so if you can grind one of those that'd be helpful, if you have ops unlocked that's another option

but ya CMD XP grind comes down to the amount of ships used in a fleet, more is better, and the only quick way is buying the level bump in the premium shop

[ebon pasture]

Oke

Than you

[severe tinsel]

how do i can get a lot of oil?

steady way to get oil

[twilit crow]

canteen and commissions

[severe tinsel]

ok

[twilit crow]

rn you can buy some from villa reconstruction shop and event shop

[severe tinsel]

already sold out

[twilit crow]

weekly supply pack?

weekly mission rewards?

all gone?

dang...

[severe tinsel]

i want to get the rainbow bulin from event milestone. so thats why i need oil

[twilit crow]

how many pts you at rn? can you do the d stages?

[severe tinsel]

at max i can reach is c3

d1 my ship start dyinng

[twilit crow]

oh ok, can you 1:1 or 1:2 c3?

[severe tinsel]

wdym by 1;1 1;2?

[twilit crow]

1 vanguard 2 backline or 1 vanguard 1 backline

[severe tinsel]

i can do with 1;1 i guess

i got lion

[twilit crow]

is she mlb?

[severe tinsel]

not yet

nvm i cant 1;1

[twilit crow]

you get 3x the initial clear for a1-b3 so if you could 1-1 those and get 1260 pt

[severe tinsel]

can't meet requirement

[severe tinsel]

ok

[twilit crow]

you could put them in the second fleet

[severe tinsel]

oh right

damn my villager brain

[orchid scarab]

Is Cleopatra good?

Asking for a friend

[viscid swift]

Not particularly

[severe tinsel]

uh why is the auto kept auto switch to fleet 2

[void walrus]

Is it on "flagship" instead of "reserve"

[severe tinsel]

wait

how do i change that?

ah i see

[orchid scarab]

Oh aight, imma just add her to my "momoi's victims" collection

https://tenor.com/view/saiba-momoi-saiba-midori-saiba-momoi-midori-gif-3965957322905740807

[viscid swift]

Uhhhhhh, okay

[blissful hamlet]

@viscid swift are your name real or are you high?

[stark quiver]

I mean they announced it? Didn’t give date,
That’s why probably

[blissful hamlet]

speculation

[stark quiver]

I’ll do you one better

[blissful hamlet]

the sooner the game eos the sooner we get ryza rerun

[undone saffron]

Any suggestions? Im trying to make a royal navy fleet

[wind hazel]

game eos means we won't see you yap again, big W

[undone saffron]

Warspite and trafalgar are going commisions since im broke at exp

[wind hazel]

it looks very bad

[undone saffron]

😔 then any improvements you might have in mind?

[wind hazel]

yes, replacing everyone

[undone saffron]

😔🙏

[blissful hamlet]

don't focus on any faction

[wind hazel]

only trafalgar is good ship mentioned there

[undone saffron]

I thought i might have had a chance getting queen elizabeth

[undone saffron]

My first ultra rare😄

[blissful hamlet]

what campaign stages are you in right now?

[undone saffron]

Why tf is my keyboard so fucked up

[undone saffron]

Uhh 6-2

[blissful hamlet]

checkout the newbie guide for fleet comp

[solar lily]

also try getting lion if possible

[blissful hamlet]

get unicorn from guild shop

[undone saffron]

Knowing my luck prob not

[undone saffron]

Alrrr will that still work? I have unicorn in my main fleet too

[wind hazel]

you don't need two fleets

stick to a single fleet for now

[viscid swift]

Obligatory faction fleet bad

Especially early game when you don't have a lot of options to begin with

[versed forum]

should i get 2 sexy bofors?

[wind hazel]

do you need them?

[versed forum]

probably not are they necessary for w15?

[wind hazel]

well if those are all your AA gun, probably need one or two

but need more than just 2sexy

[versed forum]

how about 134mm aa gun for vanguard stats do you recommend them?

[wind hazel]

very niche use

[ornate narwhal]

Besides Helena and uni who should I get from the guild shop?

[wind hazel]

do you have a tank? if not, portland. do you have a decent bb? if not, pennsylvania

both can be skipped since most are using lil agir and lion, but depends on what you have really

[split moon]

i have Anchorage Agir neptune Roon developed which do i do next (research focus is on series 7 for gear)

[eternal moth]

Can you do Plymouth>

[split moon]

i think yes

[eternal moth]

Although if you're focused on PR7 just do the PR7 ships

[ionic kraken]

what does the resort island vacation item in the event shop do?

[eternal moth]

Which item?

[split moon]

ppl told me to do pr7 for i think vit2 I don’t really know which is better

[split moon]

the one for invitation

[eternal moth]

Oh, you need to buy 7 for the invitation. Check pins for who's in the invite

[split moon]

@eternal moth dis

[eternal moth]

If you're getting gear in PR7 just work on the ships there while getting it. If you're talking about a ship for catchup, I don't think it matters at this point

[wind hazel]

do you have Implacable? if not, work on AVP from PR4

do you have Amagi CV? if not, work on Hakuryuu from PR4

[split moon]

she is max lb but not leveled

[split moon]

also hab

[wind hazel]

FDG?

[split moon]

No

[wind hazel]

work on her then, unless you gonna tell me you have all UR BB in the game

[eternal moth]

Coining is up to what, PR5 PRs and PR4 DRs?

[split moon]

I don’t think so
I do have alsace musashi vanguard and lion

[wind hazel]

ok nvm you can delay FDG

[wind oxide]

Upto PR4

[wind hazel]

unless those UR are not mlb

[eternal moth]

You have the ships you need, now just work on coining whoever you want

[split moon]

Only vanguard is not

[wind hazel]

just pick whatever you want

maybe do protocore catchup

[split moon]

i guess Plymouth or keep doing pr7

[split moon]

wat is dat

[wind hazel]

you do catchup on ships that are at dev30, so that you turn the catchup blueprints into protocore

doing plymouth is fine but if you end up not having her blueprints, she's still gonna be just a BB buffer in the end, so it's kinda whatever

[split moon]

is pr7 gear nessary

[wind hazel]

La9 is best in slot fighter for medium and heavy

necessary? no.
but want? absolutely yes you want them

[clear harbor]

For A Rose on the High Tower shop rewards, is it worth buying a second copy of Trafalgar to save on Bulins?

And if I buy Glorious Meta, do her crystals appear in the Meta shop? Or do I have to buy them from the event shop?

[wind hazel]

it will be unlocked once event ends in the meta shop

[wind oxide]

Her crystals will appear like months later

[wind hazel]

it's already there

[wind oxide]

I thought andrea's came too late

[clear harbor]

Oh okay.

[clear harbor]

So buy crystals is a low priority.

[split moon]

I’m glad that i got glorious meta twice in D3 under 20k and saved a lot of event points

[wind hazel]

yes, plus you might get another drop from b3/d3/sp

[clear harbor]

Oh wait, n/m. I don't have that many crystal fragments.

Ohhhhh. I haven't gotten her to drop from D3. I was wondering who the last one was.

[split moon]

is it worth max lb glorious meta

[wind hazel]

ehh...

[split moon]

i have like
10 meta ships with 4 crystals that’s not lb even once

[wind hazel]

unless you want to use them, MLB them have no other tangible benefit

[sinful escarp]

she is +1 rld at 120, so its better imo to get her to mlb. just to make it easier to level her

[wind hazel]

you can get the lv120 tech without mlb

[split moon]

i feel like I don’t have enough resources to level multiple ships at once

[meager zephyr]

does skins shop show all the special features or do I have to search up like skin review

[wind hazel]

you have to do your own research

[cobalt gate]

is there a good team to 1 shot kirov meta now

[meager zephyr]

dang alr well whats the stuff that i should buy with f2p gems before i buy gems and get skins

[wind oxide]

Dock space, dorm slots,dorm floors

[wind hazel]

dorm 3rd slot first floor, second floor, dockspace until forever

[meager zephyr]

how much f2p gems can i even get

[wind hazel]

uhhhhhhh, think there's an exact amount on /gems command

[wind oxide]

Dont we get like 150 for each chapter?

[supple ember]

is there really still no filter by ship name option????????

[plain saffron]

There is, clicl the search icon

[supple ember]

no im saying a filter not search for a specific ship. im trying to see what ships i have max lb, and if i have dupes to retire

[plain saffron]

Well that works the same no?

Search for saratoga and you get list of all saratogas

Unless you want them to add an option with 700 option as dropdown

[supple ember]

that would be one by one and i would have to think of all the names first. if there was a filter it would just list everything in order a-z

[dawn scarab]

I asked in general but didnt get an aswer. If i missed claiming Hornet Meta, I cant claim her anymore at all? Even with the Dossier?

[plain saffron]

So what you mean is sort by names not filter

Because putting 700+ ships as selection for filter is not feasible

[supple ember]

yeah sure idk the difference, sort, filter, arrange. whatever i just need to be able to see ship names A-Z

cant believe its never been added all these years...

[plain saffron]

Yeah, i don't remember if it already exists ingame?

[plain saffron]

What's the options in sort currently, i can't open game rn

[fossil shard]

How’s that new plane in the gear lab?

[plain saffron]

I feel like there's a way to do it

[supple ember]

google ai straight up fucking LYING

[brisk wind]

There's no A-Z, but the best you can do is search by name or sort by rarity (which groups randomly in the same rarity) but dupes will be together

[supple ember]

no thats the thing, if theyre different levels and rarity theyr enot next to each other

[brisk wind]

Like a retrofitted ship versus a non retrofitted ship? You can search by name manually

[supple ember]

bro we're talking about sorting not searching

[wind hazel]

they will be

[supple ember]

again google lying

[wind hazel]

rarity will sort the ships together, regardless of level

[brisk wind]

Yep sort by rarity

[wind hazel]

can yo ustop using dumbass AI overview for these stuff

[forest palm]

this is very #al-general coded

[brisk wind]

AI hallucinates data pretty much

[stark quiver]

AI watches kimo and quyet, so not surprised

[wind oxide]

lol

[crisp vine]

Is there so gift codes still working or Nah?

[wind oxide]

are you sure? (i meant your name)

[stark quiver]

Only for purchased items like the queen Elizabeth skin when you buy the blu ray

[supple ember]

im just showing how its spreading misinfo

[wind hazel]

nobody cares, AI overview said it's ok to eat rock

[crisp vine]

Oh i see, so Times spend some $ i do some foxe mines and im broken with oil

[supple ember]

now ur lying

[stark quiver]

Iirc it was announced , but don’t know when exactly

[inner delta]

[wind oxide]

Noice yay

[crisp vine]

Or is there any mechanic what could give me some oil?

[stark quiver]

Waiting
Don’t whale for oil

[crisp vine]

Well, i want buy this meta pass, beside this anything worth buying? || Yes i buy skin for kaga so i dont have gems now lmao||

[wind hazel]

gem packs with 2x bonus

[crisp vine]

And buy what?

[wind hazel]

more skins

the rings if you like oathing waifu

[crisp vine]

If they give kaga l2d i will buy

[wind hazel]

-# she's dead!

[crisp vine]

NO I REFUSE I will use her with akagi!

[gray grove]

I been doing missions with her ever since she cameout and shes still stranger , does it usually take that long to increase it

[wind hazel]

kinda, yes

[crimson glacier]

well if she is low morale then she gains 0 affinity

[gray grove]

I wait till shes fine then stop when ever the notification appears

[crimson glacier]

doesnt it go to 0 way before the notif

[wind hazel]

click on it to find out what affinity she's at

[rapid grail]

9 runs on 12-2 usually give roughly 2 affinity pts for my ships

[forest palm]

you get like 0.01 ~ 0.02 affection an enemy iirc it takes some time

[gray grove]

This is what i get

[rapid grail]

Certain events have a special uh, bathroom/onsen that also increases the affinity rate

[wind hazel]

on the [Stranger]
