[crimson glacier]

press this

[wind hazel]

can you set NPC as secretary?

[crimson glacier]

rip

[rapid grail]

Oh, that's morale. Put them on dorm or on the event-exclusive onsen to increase her morale regen

[wind oxide]

Doesnt onsen only increase the morale?

[gray grove]

U cant do that

[wind hazel]

you can soon

[rapid grail]

ah, i see then. try again in 2 days OR level up other ships like Dead Master instead

[gray grove]

Has anyone fully unlocked her yet?

[wind hazel]

no

the mission to unlock her is not up yet 😭

[rapid grail]

no, first day atm in EN, 2nd day in CN/JP servers

[gray grove]

Oh so its a mission

[wind oxide]

Only one mission unlocks per day

[gray grove]

I thought i had to make her fall for me to fully unlock her

[crimson glacier]

nah you just get her tomorrow

[wind oxide]

We'll get her in day 3

[sharp socket]

the collab ships are free this time?

[crimson glacier]

yes

[forest palm]

literally just grind tech like normal don't even have to bother

[rapid grail]

patience lol

[sharp socket]

wow nice my cubes live

[gray grove]

So basically after i finish all this i wont have to worry about losing her

Thanks

[forest palm]

for now

[rapid grail]

sleep on BZ rerun, awake for Ryza collab rerun and Yumia collab

[forest palm]

that's still a free 28 cubes for BZ rerun

[sinful escarp]

ryza collab had a lot of good gears right?

[forest palm]

lot of niche, or weaker alternatives

[sinful escarp]

ahhh, i honestly forgot because i put a lot of it on ryza

[plain saffron]

Only 3rd one i think?

[gray grove]

im so glad , any other game would have faarmed this colllab banners and everything

[plain saffron]

Probably because only few characters, even if gacha the rates are high enough

[ebon pasture]

How do i get super rare tech box alot

[fleet berry]

To be fair, this is a small, unusual collab for EN. The 'usual' collab event has 6-7 characters: one of them is free from the shop and another is free from the point. Senran Kagura added another free character from the event mini-game. The rests must be pulled from the gacha and AL does not have any pity for non-UR banners.
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/The_Ninja_Scrolls:_Azur_Flash

AL is a generous gacha game and I am thankful for that, but it's not unconditionally so.

[sinful escarp]

iirc this is the first time this sort of thing happened. this approach to a collab i mean

[carmine heath]

are the collab ships good

[ashen berry]

yo bruh i cant log in

wait wrong channel

[sinful escarp]

not great, not bad. just normal in SR standards

[slow fox]

Backline eHP calcs have low demand

If more people ask for them, I will tabulate backline eHP

[hollow gust]

Huh?

[flint fiber]

Ok what can I pair Amagi with is what I mean besides Shinano sorry for the confusion I haven’t slept for 2 days lol

[sinful escarp]

you do mean the CV amagi right?

[wind oxide]

Either haku or implacable

[reef flume]

Implac for consistent damage against all bosses

Haku for better damage as long as the boss does not move

[flint fiber]

Yea but I also have the other versions of her to but no shinano

[split gazelle]

are you sure you have Amagi(CV)?

the ultra rare one

[flint fiber]

No not UL sorry only the bc amagi

[wind oxide]

Bruh

[flint fiber]

I know sadge I didn’t play when they released her I just started this year but I’ve been off and on with Azur lane because of work lol

[fleet berry]

Mebot, what is the difference between %Musashi and %MusashiRAW? Does RAW mean stock Musashi w/o fleet cover etc? Got confused because Lion eHP is lower when compared to RAW.

[echo nexus]

if this counts as gameplay help, but do collab event skins rerun on black friday too? asking cause i cant spend money for the brs skins now, but i wanna get them and other skins during black friday

[sinful escarp]

iirc no

i asked that question one time, and i got told no...

[flint fiber]

Dose anyone know when Ur amagi rerun is ?

[echo nexus]

aww nooo 😔
really wanna get the skins but im too broke atm

[lyric briar]

Anyone have a QE Meta one shot fleet?

[slow fox]

Musashi takes damage for the other ships in the fleet.

In effect, this reduces her eHP as she...well, takes more damage.

MusashiRAW is as if there were no other ships in the main fleet, and counts her total bulk.

[fleet berry]

Ah, I see. But that numbers need a bit caveat, because even though Sashi's eHP is effectively lower, the fleet overall survivability is improved, right?

[slow fox]

FleeT eHP calculations are stored in the future. eHP theory currently only supports single ship eHP.

[errant bloom]

Fate stimulation fingerprint doesn't show up for Agir but it does for FDG
This bug is so dumb

[paper ore]

thats because Agir doesnt have a fate simulation yet

[errant bloom]

Are you sure?

[spring mesa]

ye

[paper ore]

quite sure yes

[eternal basalt]

"not a bug"

[errant bloom]

I saw the fingerprint a few times for her so I thought she had it

[paper ore]

maybe you saw it for hakuryuu who does have fate simulation in pr4

[eternal basalt]

Or the bug with the skin option

[lofty zodiac]

I have 4 UR bb for opsi bossing Vanguard FDG Musashi and Lion
Who is bench and who is flag?

[errant bloom]

yeah it appears after you swap it with the new skin tab

[eternal basalt]

Well, that IS a bug

[stark quiver]

Implacable, shinano, Amagi cv
Z52,kazagumo, Wichita meta

Wichita meta is crucial btw

[normal cedar]

what do you do 11-1 or 12-1 for dr 2.4mil exp grind
11-1 has more exp eff I think?

[stark quiver]

No cogs, worse coins

11-1 is JUST exp eff
Tho nobody does it really, just stick to 12-1

[hushed sorrel]

either 12-1 for exp or 12-4 for coins. nothing with 11

[normal cedar]

ok, thanks

[full plank]

guys i got oxygen torpedo auxiliary
where should i put it and what for

[wind hazel]

does anyone know if plymouth or anshan will result in better overall fleet dmg in kearsarge yk2 implacable comp vs Light? with z52 and aurora in vanguard

[wind hazel]

fdg bench, musashi flag. can swap fdg in vs Light but im not sure if it's worth the effort

[full plank]

im new to the game what meta ship should i buy
my fleet rn is lion taihou unicorn javelin portland helena

[lyric briar]

Could you provide the gears to use?

[wind hazel]

buy from what

[full plank]

meta shop

[wind hazel]

none

[full plank]

are META ships even useful?

[wind hazel]

eventually, for ship tech

[stark quiver]

Just find whatever +13 tbs you have and then make a sync
Fleet has to be 0 reload tech for cvs or else you lose
Wichita meta uses hinden, mog gun, twin 134 AA , Fumo , probably watatsumi research

[wind hazel]

but that's very end game thing

[blissful spade]

is there any possible human way to lose the shipgirls balls minigame?

[sharp socket]

shimanto l2d still hangs my game even after switching to mumu, android 11, and i had rented it before but now it hangs me

[sinful escarp]

exit as soon as you start the minigame.

[wind hazel]

how many core and ram

[sinful escarp]

not azur lane itself, but you can leave the minigame

[wicked obsidian]

Hay,, i need the Gear guide link plzz...

[wind hazel]

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

[sharp socket]

4 core 4gb ram

my fps counter doesnt freeze, its just the game not working

[wind hazel]

try 6/6

[cobalt robin]

Got lucky while farming, is she good?

[sharp socket]

isnt 6 cores alot of cores to be using

[split gazelle]

I use vulkan mode with 4 core 6gb without issues

[wind hazel]

depends on your CPU but modern CPU should have no issue. it's not gonna utilize 100% of the cores either

6/6 is what mumu recommend with the prompt telling you if AL has crashing issue, i got it before updating to latest version lul

[wicked obsidian]

I cant find anyy gear on list...that i have...

[sharp socket]

but it worked before on my current settings but now it stopped working for whatever reason

[wind hazel]

ye game is shit after updates

[wicked obsidian]

Can you tell me if any of my gold gear is good??

[wind hazel]

open more tech boxes, the bottom are usually the poverty ones

unequip the hedgehog, you don't need it now

give unicorn the aviation tank/steam cata

give the 155 to your BB, not helena

basically read the gear guide lol

[split gazelle]

pick a ship you want to gear, check the guide for weapon categories and equip the weapons you have.

[wicked obsidian]

i would...and am trying....but the guide is wayyyy...tooooo long

[wicked obsidian]

i dont think i have any BB

[wind hazel]

you have at least 3 BB that i can see

[wicked obsidian]

Never mind

[wind hazel]

brother, you have VV, Penny, and Nevada. not counting the new collab NPC

[lime owl]

So i have 2 UR bbs upgraded enough to use, i have 3 UR guns atm. For NJ and Lion what guns should i put on who?

[whole crypt]

Depends™️

[wind hazel]

depends on what you're doing with them

[lime owl]

For now im grinding operation siren

[wind hazel]

457 on mob, change it if bossing, depends on boss armor

[lime owl]

Should i still use mob/boss fleets in opsi?

[wind hazel]

you use 1 mob and the rest boss/crossfleet fleets

[whole crypt]

a strong mob fleet does basically 95% of OS

[lime owl]

Well im on the end part

[whole crypt]

you want a dedicated boss fleet for handling thing like arbiter

[lime owl]

Aparently i timed it perfectly to where my first clear was start of the month so i have all month to grind the special stuff at the end

[whole crypt]

it resets every month it's the same cycle

when you do what within a month is up to you

[lime owl]

So what is a reset? Is it where i need to clear the campaign again?

[whole crypt]

if you have cleared at least ch4 of OS it resets the 1st of every month and you have to clear everything again

when and how you clear the individual parts in OS within the month is

[lime owl]

Ok gotcha, also what situations are the other guns best used in?

[whole crypt]

model 19 is the current top anti-medium gun, mkii is to anti-light

457 is mostly just for mobbing

[lime owl]

Alright, gotcha

Thx

[full plank]

ok so uh guys i wanna farm the event until im dead so uh

where do i get cosmic amounts of oil

we speaking like 30k MINIMUM

cause i need the 10k tokens gun for lion and other stuff

[whole crypt]

💳

[tame jungle]

you still got a week left to farm so

[hushed sorrel]

i dont know about cosmic amounts of oil
but sp daily clear of b1, b2, b3 gives you around 1,5k points

[whole crypt]

how many points do you have now and how many do you actually want/need

[hushed sorrel]

thats not recommended for oil

[tame jungle]

unless you need cosmic amounts of oil

[whole crypt]

that's the only way to get 30k oil if you have nothing in bank

[tame jungle]

no shit it's not recommended for normal play

[whole crypt]

I'm not saying it's recommended

I'm cruising dailies now with 100k and I didn't even take oil from storage

and off the top of my head I didn't start with full stock either

so again the question is what does he actually need

[tame jungle]

patience i think

[full plank]

gimme reccomended ways i need a lot and quick

[whole crypt]

for the record there's also a lot of oil in newbie missions if you've been idling since start of event

you know maybe you don't actually need 30k oil if you'd actually tell us what you're trying to do?

[full plank]

buy out the event shop but most importantly the rainbow gun for lion for 10k

[tame jungle]

buying the entire shop out is a tall order

[hushed sorrel]

most oil gets regenerated in your dock
2. from comissions
3. from storage/mails

those are f2p ways

[full plank]

aight ty

do i ACTUALLY need to upgrade canteen and munitions or no

[hushed sorrel]

apparently no quick and lots

[full plank]

and can i store excess somewhere
like if my canteen is full but i have max oil

[tame jungle]

use your oil then

letting it overcap will not help your oil drought

[whole crypt]

no one really buys out the event shop, plates, gear box, lower cat boxes are all 🚮

I started the event with like 4k oil I don't see the problem

[hushed sorrel]

if you still got 5 days + today
thats 6 times sp, b1, b2, b3
the gun is safe without much effort

[whole crypt]

the thing is upgrading your canteen also improves regen and you can claim regen if you're spending oil

[tame jungle]

assuming they cleared sp

[full plank]

wait
sp b1 b2 b3?

oh

[whole crypt]

what are you even running

[full plank]

im gonna clear b3 today

[hushed sorrel]

all normal stages have daily x3. if you low cost those thats worth it

[whole crypt]

I assume you can't clear D?

[tame jungle]

stop recommending low cost to a newbie

[full plank]

so i get to the highest normal and repeat sortie them?

[full plank]

i'll see if i can

[hushed sorrel]

just clearing is fine if he cannot do d3. i mean yeah

[whole crypt]

well what are your ship levels

[full plank]

around 80

do i retrofit javelin helena or unicorn first btw

[whole crypt]

low costing is fine if you need the runs and can't run oil cap

[full plank]

how do i low cost
im a lil dumdum

[whole crypt]

just don't use more ships than is needed to clear the stage

[tame jungle]

it's debatable whether he needs the runs or not
we don't know what he's already bought
we don't know how many points he has
we know only now what stages he can do

[hushed sorrel]

its basically reducing fire power to reduce oil cost. so that you have just the right amount to clear the stage

[full plank]

aight how do i know how much i need to low cost and still clear it

[whole crypt]

considering said person hasn't even cleared B3 chances are he has nothing in pocket, also just said lv80

[tame jungle]

which is why i said "only now" yeah

[hushed sorrel]

first you did clear those stages. you know if it was difficult or easy
if it was difficult it means most likely no chance
if it was easy that means you overpowered it

[full plank]

aight i mean i didnt even take any damage thanks to unicorn

btw who i retrofit first
javelin unicorn or helena

[whole crypt]

clear it first then try dropping a ship or two for the repeats, without seeing what you're actually using can't say for sure

[full plank]

or portland

rn i have uh
backline:lion taihou unicorn
front:helena javelin portland

[hushed sorrel]

why not? since he/she lacks oil thats one of the best ways. i dont say that we do some powerbuilds

[stark quiver]

Do they have the necessary cross fleet to do the low cost?
Or the necessary setups?

[full plank]

bro cmon I NEED 12 MORE AFFINITY TO OATH

how do i get them
cant battle cause i need oil to recharge

[stark quiver]

You wait

[whole crypt]

low cost doesn't just mean 3-oil fleets, cutting unnecessary ships counts

[stark quiver]

Or be petty and put them in leftmost secretary for 2 more affinity

[hushed sorrel]

just reducing costs is a first good step. i expect no wonders

[whole crypt]

priorities man just do that later

[full plank]

man
75 oil an hour from canteen :(

[stark quiver]

Complaining won’t make it faster

[whole crypt]

keep your commissions refreshed they bring oil home too

[full plank]

aight i got some running rn

[whole crypt]

also free supplies pack, weekly missions, newbie missions

[full plank]

free pack? where

[whole crypt]

shop has a pack with 4k oil every week

[full plank]

DAMN

extra pats for the seller

[whole crypt]

pretty sure you'd have known if you checked the notification mark on the shop button...

[full plank]

as i said i am a big dumdum

[hushed sorrel]

feel free to share lots of screenshots. we can show you almost everything

[whole crypt]

ah well more oil for you, get grinding chopchop

[full plank]

ty guys :D

[whole crypt]

if you need more detailed help start a thread and we'll need screenshots

[wicked obsidian]

hay,,i just realized helema"s 2nd skill is locked why?

[stark quiver]

Retrofit

[wicked obsidian]

oww

[honest sequoia]

When should I stop farming the event

Cuz as of today I still don’t have glorious meta from map drop

[stark quiver]

When you get enough for what you need

[honest sequoia]

Or do I just skip glorious meta?

[agile patrol]

who do I get? I already have sovetskaya

[stark quiver]

Do you care abt a decent cv with great tech

[honest sequoia]

What tech does it give when I obtain?

[stark quiver]

+2 cv hp

But +1 cv rld at 120

[crisp vine]

When i could start farm meta ships?

[eternal basalt]

No, she doesn't even take a doxkslot soo no reason at all to skip

[eternal basalt]

When you can, you mean the dossier?

[crisp vine]

Dunno how it calls, but i remember(i play like 2 years ago?) you fight with meta ships and you farm them

[eternal basalt]

Yeah, dossier... go use all, you got max 14 runs anyway

[crisp vine]

And when i could start this dossier? Lv45 rn

[eternal basalt]

When lvl 60 and opsi chapter 1 finished

[crisp vine]

And what is the fastest way to lv up? Event or story or smth else?

[eternal basalt]

The fastest? Otherwise highest story with 9 ships.

[fiery swan]

What's the secret to making cube commissions actually drop cubes

[late flame]

pray harder

[eternal basalt]

Be luckier

[crisp vine]

but i need get akagi from Fox mine too, fuck i need more oil

You cant stop me, when i end Fox mines I'll be free and powerful

[agile patrol]

Hi. I just skipped the entire Rose story
I can always revisit it sometime later, right? In the memories thingy
Idk I just feel kind of guilty. I don't have the time atm to complete the event or read the story at my own pace 💔

[wicked obsidian]

Hay,, Is the "Black Rock Shooter" good ??

[crisp vine]

Oh and Kaga (BB) from side story to farm % are worse in Fox mine? Or better slightly?

[late flame]

/droprate

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: What are the drop rates for __?
A: Map drop rates are unknown and cannot be datamined, due to being server-side. The only one known is 0.75% for Akagi/Kaga (individually) on 3-4. Community data collection suggests the other gold ship drop rates are somewhat similar, however.

Q: Then where should I farm for __?
A: Farm the highest map you can for it. Higher stages give more EXP, upgrade parts, equipment, and shop currency. Community data collection suggests the drop rates are also probably higher on higher worlds.

[crisp vine]

I see

[whole crypt]

don't bother with foxmines

[orchid scarab]

is admiral hipper good for midgame?

oh aight

what about bulin

[weary gust]

Bulins are food not ships for battle.

[agile patrol]

Hi.
Who do I replace for Lion?
I'm using Unicorn, Penny (Flagship), Souryuu

Do I replace Penny?

thanks

[eager marsh]

will we keep getting trafalgar voucher until 18th or 11th?

[hybrid swift]

Hi, can I know how to unlock sp event stage thanks

[whole crypt]

if you want a half decent tank besides portland now agir-chan is usable

[whole crypt]

clear D3

[agile patrol]

Wait speaking of
Small Agir is better than portland?? I have portland's retrofit

[whole crypt]

I think mebot has her at around 1.05 port

[whole crypt]

11

technically event is over after that

[agile patrol]

getting only one copy is enough, right
the second dupe is just for her LB

[whole crypt]

normally yes

I would recommend going for it if you can, and are short of ur bulins

[agile patrol]

oh i wont be able to get her copy unfortunately:(

[ornate narwhal]

For retrofit mats should I get all the 3* rewards or farm purples for Neptune?

[eternal basalt]

Or you can turn currency for extra copies in sweet

[normal cedar]

i think only world 1,2 have 3stars that give purple prints, rest give gold prints.
so if you are not in need of gold prints ill say dont waste oil trying to 3star, just farm daily

[glad mortar]

Is the units from the new update event worth getting?

Also how good is Trafalgar?

[hybrid swift]

May I know how can I increase Eva I can't unlock d3😅

[ripe sparrow]

is Uni still good till this day?

[inner delta]

yes

[ripe sparrow]

like still top tier or something?

[inner delta]

yea

[ripe sparrow]

oh nice

[inner delta]

she's still the only one that does what she do without gimping herself like percy

[ripe sparrow]

so using her alongside Volga for my mob fleet is still a good idea huh

[inner delta]

yea

[outer cedar]

yo, is anyone else's azurlane also using a lot of cpu?

[inner delta]

that is just bluestack thing

[ripe sparrow]

use Mumu

[outer cedar]

44% is crazy

[wind hazel]

lol

[ripe sparrow]

yeah is uses more cpu but waaaay less ram

[outer cedar]

k, i'll look into that. thx

[agile patrol]

why is Lion put this high up?
what makes Lion so spectacular. i got her not knowing how good she is

[stark quiver]

She good

[agile patrol]

fair.

[ripe sparrow]

she's just built different XD

[stark quiver]

High damage, and burn is 100% chance I think

[outer cedar]

her barrage is strong

[weary gust]

That chart does have issues though. DOY, Flandre, Ark Royal, Glormious being in the same tier as Unicorn, Aquila, Raff, FDG, NJ, and Ulrich is yikes.

[whole crypt]

whole new tier of DPS for OS/META bossing

[last zenith]

lion is powerful. But doesnt musashi have the highest damage in game

[weary gust]

Centaur being in S+ tier is lmao.

[ripe sparrow]

btw how good Raffaelo?

[stark quiver]

Against?

[whole crypt]

surprise, Lion beat Musashi

[last zenith]

raw damage

[whole crypt]

it's amazing what 15% more gun eff and a high damage perma burn can do, alongside no gun restrictions

[last zenith]

ah.... yes

[whole crypt]

Musashi still has her pros like being tankier and having a tank skill

[atomic abyss]

Even before Lion
Musashi was only "highest dmg" vs heavy armour

[last zenith]

😦 sushi is good tho

but true

[whole crypt]

no one is saying she's bad

it's the same as NJ isn't bad but she's still the most powercrept UR BB

[last zenith]

alsace is dmg and the russian one

[atomic abyss]

Alsace, Bis2 and Soyuz all beat Musashi for light and med with relative ease

[weary gust]

yes soyuz is russian that is her strength.

[whole crypt]

Alsace also has damage buff but sure

Soyuz has slow, damage buff and synergizes with Nakhimov

[last zenith]

yep

[last zenith]

true enough

[stark quiver]

Mushy against light

[ripe sparrow]

oh wow, Amagi UR is that good?

[atomic abyss]

Firstly not a very accurate list
Thah said she is the best CV for heavy armour

[ornate narwhal]

Which meta should I do for dossier analysis?

[atomic abyss]

And does remarkably well against medium too

[ripe sparrow]

btw, how's this build?

[atomic abyss]

"Any"
You probably won't use any of them

[last zenith]

ouch

[atomic abyss]

Aside from questionable AA and augment
It's good for light armour at least

[wind hazel]

ngl but you've asked for the 3rd or 4th time by now

and many have told you what to replace

[ripe sparrow]

i don't know what to put for augment lol

[last zenith]

Oh ya guys. what exactly is that website that gives you the best gear for each shipgirl

[atomic abyss]

There isn't a good one

[last zenith]

oh

[atomic abyss]

Sword by default

[last zenith]

whats any website

[wind hazel]

😭

[atomic abyss]

Bowgun only for heavy lol
Pretty sure it nerfs her dmg elsewhere

[last zenith]

ummm :9 so theres no websites for best gear?

[atomic abyss]

Not for each ship at least

[ripe sparrow]

and for the AA, im farming for more of these

[atomic abyss]

[last zenith]

all this time ive been in this server. I have nebver seen that

[atomic abyss]

But it doesn't give you ship specific recommendations

[last zenith]

I just want gear to check mine

[atomic abyss]

Cos well, frankly "it depends"

[storm olive]

Is uvh or NJ better Vs light (bis2 lion +1)

[atomic abyss]

NJ is just flat out better for bossing in 99% of cases

[ripe sparrow]

you know what, imma just take Alabama's gear

[wind hazel]

nj outdps uvh on light?

[last zenith]

I mean....

[late flame]

ppl still use uvh?

[last zenith]

who is uvh

[wind hazel]

i remember people used UVH for Kirov META... but not NJ

[glad mortar]

How good is Trafalgar?

[last zenith]

its that german one right?

oh that thing.

[ripe sparrow]

btw when't AL anniv again?

[atomic abyss]

Very
More a dps-support and AA carry

[last zenith]

sometime in the next few months

[last zenith]

so shes a san diego replacement

[atomic abyss]

No

[glad mortar]

Is she good to pair with unzen and Markiplier?

[ornate narwhal]

Is there anyone in the guild shop that’s royal navy main fleet?

[atomic abyss]

There's no such thing as a sandy "replacement"

[ripe sparrow]

nice, wish they give gems because im in desperate need of dockspace lol

[glad mortar]

Montpelier*

[elfin hollow]

Why does my tirpitz do a second volley? I don't see a skill like that for her

[last zenith]

guys how good is a frontline of kawakaze Ibuki and Unzen.

[atomic abyss]

Limit breaking
You want to max limit break all your ships
A max limit break BB fires 3 volleys in 1 salvo

[cobalt rapids]

depends where u take em

[last zenith]

ummm that front line did get me to 14-2:9

[elfin hollow]

Ahh, Okay

[atomic abyss]

Unicorn...

[last zenith]

main campain

[storm olive]

Does NJ and lion need to fire after bis2 or can one fire before (my only HE guns are lion gun, one Mk6 and one Mk7 so timing is fun )

[atomic abyss]

It turns out, 14-3 is where the difficulty jumps enormously

[cobalt rapids]

not ideal for main campaign

[last zenith]

mmm yep

[atomic abyss]

Make Bis2 the fastest

[last zenith]

B-but... torpedo queens:9

[atomic abyss]

No synergy at all

Monty and Unzen have no synergy even

[glad mortar]

Synergies were a thing? Huh

[last zenith]

my tatic was that I torpedo them so they dont do too much damage. It worked until 14-3

[stark quiver]

Shitty tactic works in easy stage waoh

[whole crypt]

synergy doesn't strictly mean a ship offers an explicit direct advantage to another ship like faction buffs

[atomic abyss]

It's not just synergy
Basic tank + DPS/support for Frontline team building isn't there

Comp has no tank
Monty doesn't buff Unzen's torps and isn't even a good ship

[whole crypt]

ship capabilities that complement each other is also a synergy

[ripe sparrow]

btw i just realized, this is probably outdated, how can i improve this?

[atomic abyss]

That'll work for easy stages, at least

[whole crypt]

e.g. Musashi tanking + Aquila heal

[atomic abyss]

Good by non gear lab standards
Improvement would be a flapjack and wyvern for slot 1 and 2 respectively

[last zenith]

:9 im just on 14-2 when I feel like it Ill ask u all for a good fleet then, mk?

[ripe sparrow]

i should probably get more gear lab stuff

but i don't do OPS

[atomic abyss]

You really shd

[last zenith]

in like 5 months when I feel like pushing campain

[atomic abyss]

Opsi as with anything is time gated

Better to start now than later

[last zenith]

hmmm.

[storm olive]

It's not like opsi is hard content either, a well built opsi mob can go through like everything except arbiter

[last zenith]

Ill just chill rn'\

[atomic abyss]

Rushing opsi is a nightmare and a half

[ripe sparrow]

wyvern is that ur plane right?

[atomic abyss]

Just slowly clear it
Do daily missions
Do the strongholds, arbiters, abyssals

[glad mortar]

Well I don't have that much ships to go with, or I don't know how to use them or know their even good at all. What do you think?

[ripe sparrow]

where is it again? EU or IB?

[storm olive]

It's a HMS plane

[ripe sparrow]

oh i see

[last zenith]

ur been playing for a good amt of time if u got unzen why u got nothing

[atomic abyss]

Firstly, non max limit broken URs are pretty bad, worse than SRs or even purples

[glad mortar]

I stopped, simply that

[atomic abyss]

So if you have any UR bulins
Throw them all into Lion

[last zenith]

ah

[glad mortar]

I played for a few days and got unzen, then school came around so I had to delete azurlane for a while until last week

[atomic abyss]

You don't have the levels or resources for a fleet 2

So consolidate all of them into fleet 1

[glad mortar]

I plan on doing that, heard lion is just that good

[ripe sparrow]

can i get these now, or Opsi is still needed for that material?

[atomic abyss]

Yes opsi only

[atomic abyss]

She is, but even 1 limit break doubles her DPS

[glad mortar]

So any thoughts on fleet 1 on who should I replace or enhance?

[ripe sparrow]

btw is this still a joke gun until now

[atomic abyss]

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

You may want to reread this at some point

Based on this guide
I would recommend you use
Lion Montelier Centaur
Portland Helena Montpelier

If you're unable to get any bulins for Lion, use Owari

Any UR bulins should ALL go to Lion

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[ripe sparrow]

wait, is this AA good?

[last zenith]

dont think so

[atomic abyss]

Best gold one at least

[glad mortar]

Thanks for the advice, I keep 2 fleets around cuz I'm afraid of the damage debuff whenever I'm out of ammo, also it helps me to clear a stage with full three stars lol.

[last zenith]

it is? i thought the strange looking one was

[atomic abyss]

A single over levelled fleet clears early content easily even with the dmg debuff
Because of how the over level mechanic works
And how limit breaks work

[ripe sparrow]

wait i thought STAAG was the best gold AA?

[atomic abyss]

For BB/BC/CVLs yes

For the hit stat

Not for AA DPS

[ripe sparrow]

hmm i see, any vid so that i can learn what what hit stat is?

[dreamy blade]

it has decent AA but it is primarily used on main fleet for the +hit

[atomic abyss]

Hit is the opposite of evasion

It's essentially accuracy stat
But it's also used to calculate crit chance

[dreamy blade]

when your shots hit the enemy either dmg numbers appear or "miss" text appears, hit stat decreases the odds that you miss

[ripe sparrow]

ah i see get it

thank you

[hushed sorrel]

whats better for Z52 w15
twin 138,6mm or single 113?

[atomic abyss]

113 without question

[ripe sparrow]

so when it comes to damage Sextuple is the best AA huh

[atomic abyss]

100 Kai would also place ahead of twin 138.6 for z52

[glad mortar]

I'm assuming the Montelier you said is accidental and is supposed to be unicorn correct?

[atomic abyss]

Since rof directly impacts her dmg and tankiness

[atomic abyss]

Ah yeah
My bad

[hushed sorrel]

thank you but since i got 113 i can use it

[ripe sparrow]

btw what are these for? i don't remember having 3 of them for some reason

[atomic abyss]

For AA DPS yes
At least by gold standards

[dreamy blade]

highest dmg yes but since AA rate of fire and range takes the average of all the AA guns in your fleet, you dont want to run more than 1 of them in a fleet typically

[atomic abyss]

Mikasa
And that's all
It's not even that good for her

[ripe sparrow]

dayum why do i have 3 of them

[hushed sorrel]

because you didnt scrap 1-3.
thats a joke i dont know. just be happy?!

[orchid scarab]

How can I get oil faster besides invading another country?🦅🇺🇸🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸

[honest sequoia]

💳

[ripe sparrow]

btw did someone already tested BRS, is she good or decent at least?

[orchid scarab]

I see..

[river junco]

You can get a minuscule amount from commissions ig

[hushed sorrel]

the shop sells 4k for free
mail/storage
your dock produces it. you can upgrade that building ...

[orchid scarab]

This is also viable right?

[cobalt rapids]

its not a miniscule amount tho

[honest sequoia]

dlt ts rn

[orchid scarab]

Oh I didn't know they sell oil😭🦅🇺🇸🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸

[calm rose]

handbook has oil as rewards too

[ripe sparrow]

what are these?

[orchid scarab]

Aight sorry for jumpscaring you with a j*b application

[honest sequoia]

asmr

[ripe sparrow]

oh hell yeah

[hushed sorrel]

those unlock side stories. you also get them for free in daily logins

[ripe sparrow]

time to use my best headphones

wait, who's gun is this?

its probably from a UR event way back then right?

[cobalt rapids]

unzen event

[hushed sorrel]

but you dont see a weapon and chose a ship based on the weapon.
you chose a map and than chose ships and than chose equip based on your choices

[ripe sparrow]

oh...my Unzen in ungeared

[glad mortar]

Are meow officers worth assigning?

[glad mortar]

How disgraceful

[ripe sparrow]

for Opsi yes, but for general use just use your most op fleet

[atomic abyss]

Can't test without levelled skills so no
At least better than Hood

[ripe sparrow]

dyaum that's a very low bar

[hushed sorrel]

always assigne them. it cost you nothing and they boost stats

[atomic abyss]

It's not?

Hood is like the bar for a decent BB

[ripe sparrow]

i though she really fell off way back then though

[atomic abyss]

She got buffed

[ripe sparrow]

oh wow

[atomic abyss]

Unique augment helped her a lot

[little tree]

I got an extra copy of aqullia I already have her mlb should I raise a second aqullia

[atomic abyss]

100% proc rate on an improved barrage helps

[glad mortar]

I know I already have them assigned and stuff, I just asked if they're actually worth the effort tbh. Who or what should I assign on my fleet?

Unicorn Lion Centaur
Montpelier Portland Helena

[hushed sorrel]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide

[ripe sparrow]

oh i see...

so unique augments are a big deal for old ships huh?

wait did Warspite get one?

noooo

[feral rapids]

Does Agir not have fate simulation? I've leveled her development to 30, but the option is not appearing

[little tree]

~~ warspite is a bench warmer ~~

[inner delta]

she does not

[fair lance]

Correct she does not

[feral rapids]

Ah, okay

I thought something was bugged on my end

Thanks for the info

[turbid marsh]

have to wait for PR8 XD

[stark quiver]

@slow fox hi are you able to calc ehp from these numbers for kawa meta

[little tree]

~~ mebot is offline~~

[hushed sorrel]

if someone has time and has know how i would need further help with my team: #1376940253264220200 message

[whole crypt]

why would boss eHP matter

[stark quiver]

bc i wanna know

[whole crypt]

did we ever do boss eHP and is it just going to be some ungodly mutliplier of portland

[atomic abyss]

We did

And thanks to celerio

Mebot did made it scale to Portlands

[stark quiver]

Super low if anything

[atomic abyss]

Lowest after mich

[whole crypt]

after adapts some are below 300? META not subject to adapts

[night crown]

How do retire ships? I forgot

[atomic abyss]

I'm only comparing with meta showdowns

[crisp vine]

I have question, Normal Yamashiro is sakura empire but Meta Yamashiro is Meta x Sakura Empire or only Meta fraction?

[inland shoal]

In the build tab

[atomic abyss]

Meta only

[night crown]

Thank you

[inland shoal]

METAs are all only META

[crisp vine]

I see, so they dont have any benefits if i mix them with other fraction?

[stark quiver]

soo just a 1.6m hp punching bag while running eld?

[atomic abyss]

They do not unless specified

[inland shoal]

They can't trigger skills related to their og faction yes
But faction skills are mostly not thaaat relevant anyway

[crisp vine]

[atomic abyss]

Presumably yes

[crisp vine]

Last question, can i get now La Galissonnière Meta or Nah?

[inland shoal]

Nope, past purple metas can only be acquired in meta shop

[stark quiver]

any preliminary fleets?

[inland shoal]

Galimeta should've been a gold meta

[atomic abyss]

The question is really
Lion + 2 BB?
Lion + SoNa?
Kears?

[crisp vine]

But she is past Purple meta, so?

[atomic abyss]

Only the older ones have been added perma

Like, super old ones

[inland shoal]

So you go to meta shop, check it and see she isn't there

[crisp vine]

any way to get her?

[stark quiver]

not rn

[inland shoal]

As I said

No

[crisp vine]

Fuck you yostar

[atomic abyss]

Not the developer so

[crisp vine]

I apologize when they add GaliMeta

[stark quiver]

how would lion soy nakh sync look
best i can do is this

[atomic abyss]

[stark quiver]

what gear, i ran hvar ad1 with beacon

[wind hazel]

i cant find a good sync with mkII or with skyraider lol

[atomic abyss]

Double HVAR

[stark quiver]

double hvar
ima just wait for support barrage

[atomic abyss]

What's so strange about double HVAR

[wind hazel]

skyraider really makes her timing too slow

cant be saved with beacon lol

[atomic abyss]

2 HVAR takes very little effort to farm lol

[atomic abyss]

Probably need kears gun by then

[wind hazel]

that one is too slow too

way worse than whatever number skyraider is putting on

[atomic abyss]

This was
Lion w/ Lion gun
Double HVAR + Saiun + Beacon
Mk7 +10 loader

[stark quiver]

so we are going auto loader fuckery

[atomic abyss]

Lion w/ MK7 + AFCT
Same Nakhi
Soy w/ Lion gun

I'm just using my own tech for this

[wind hazel]

what about this? 0 BB rld

42cv tho

[atomic abyss]

Well ofc if you go double mk7 it's way easier to sync 🏃‍♂️

[stark quiver]

unoathed ♿

[wind hazel]

f2p gaming

[stark quiver]

i have no tech so it balances out

[atomic abyss]

0 tech?

[stark quiver]

everything that isnt reload is low

[atomic abyss]

If you go 0 tech lion gun syncing is impossibru

[wind hazel]

oath looks the same, but you gotta get the cv rld

[atomic abyss]

Aye

I was using 31 CV

[wind hazel]

maybe can see if saiun work better

[stark quiver]

dont worry kids, i got this

[wind hazel]

32 rld with saiun within 0.2 with soyuz

[stark quiver]

is kawa fast

[wind hazel]

lemme see

[atomic abyss]

30 so yes

[stark quiver]

I’m thinking we make do with nakh and eld

[wind hazel]

nvm she exploded 30s in afk

[atomic abyss]

Need to see full battle

[stark quiver]

She explodes

[wind hazel]

ye i should have used kashino or something

[stark quiver]

No 120 URin?

[wind hazel]

no, im poor

[stark quiver]

Same

I do have a lvl 70 one for skin secretary tho

[wind hazel]

told you im high

[stark quiver]

are u able to get the stop times

[wind hazel]

no, because im waiting for homework to be copied

[stone sluice]

[nova crane]

when is the next 3x core data even tocming

[tame jungle]

🔮

[stark quiver]

@wind hazel how much sync pts are you at

[tawdry lantern]

I am playing AL(again after like 2 years) in BlueStacks but it keeps freezing, not crashing just freezing. The skills activate the voices activate but the gameplay is paused(?)[ie: nothing is happening] is there a setting I am messing up

[wind hazel]

18%

[stark quiver]

kewl

[wind hazel]

give mumu12 a try, a lot of issues with bs and ldp lately

[tawdry lantern]

is it because I am setting it on 120 fps

[whole crypt]

current max

[weak moat]

wait if i summon the event meta units from the pool can i get the other 4 copies from the shop?

[crimson glacier]

yea

but you can also just buy the ship from the event shop

trying to pull shop units is just madness

[hollow gust]

or grind it out in d3

[weak moat]

i cant do d3 lol

as in i got the summon unintentionally

[crimson glacier]

oh nice

then yeah you can just buy the 4 thingies

[hollow gust]

is it though the crystal ones, not the extra copies btw

[weak moat]

ok

[eternal basalt]

She drops in B3 too

[weak moat]

really?

[deft kettle]

who is best in here?

[tame jungle]

check the pins in this channel for an overview (have to scroll down a little)

[deft kettle]

fuck it

taihou for dmg

[viscid swift]

Eh, not particularly

[whole crypt]

if you don't know who to choose they're all 🚮 for you
if you know who to choose you'll know they're all 🚮 for you

[deft kettle]

should i do it

[river junco]

Do it if you want to, no point tactical oathing unless you have a lot of 💳

[forest palm]

who you oath is on you, we are not responsible for whom you oath

[warped acorn]

inde retro or enty

[mellow cape]

Any recs?

[turbid marsh]

mind elaborating a bit? are you talking about opsi mob? campaign mob? hard arbiter? with which fleet?

[warped acorn]

campaign but guess nvm i forgot they arent the same type nomatter what

[hollow gust]

cv amagi less life

[turbid marsh]

they can go together tbh, viable for w13 15. maybe not the greatest, but ive seen them work though

[warped acorn]

cvl 💔

[mellow cape]

😢

Also, any recs from you goose?

[hollow gust]

also bristol is never going to work unless you manual

[mellow cape]

Who should I replace her with?

[turbid marsh]

i would argue independance is more versatile than enty XD can go anywhere

[hollow gust]

ofc haku is a pretty fat downgrade from amagi cv

[warped acorn]

oh lol

[turbid marsh]

indy verystrong in w15, at least strong enough to be on by herself as the only cv/cvl in 15-1 green sea boss

[warped acorn]

well sadly she a cvl

[tame jungle]

wtf is this, carrier racism?

[warped acorn]

no, just fulfill req in x-4 hardmode

[wicked obsidian]

How is the Average LvL counted here ?????

[hollow gust]

Average level of all the ships

[tame jungle]

right, should've lead with the fact that you were dealing with a hull type restricted slot

[warped acorn]

true, especially i have less than 5 cv in my dock

[split gazelle]

remove the 2 collab units and try again

[wicked obsidian]

I got lvl 60 ships still says lvl 75

[warped acorn]

are u sure
that lv 51 dead master...

[tame jungle]

are you aware of what "average" means

[turbid marsh]

thank you

[wicked obsidian]

No... still same

[warped acorn]

how

yep forgot, that task average lv is 90

[wind oxide]

You're not reaching average level >90
not with those ships lol

[viscid swift]

considering there's only one ship in that entire SS that's actually above level 90...

[cobalt gate]

whats the team for new meta now

[soft raft]

it's like day 2 of it, she's still dying too fast for proper comps to form

[turbid marsh]

looks frontline damage heavy though XD

[cobalt gate]

i see, man i need cog

[split gazelle]

what was the threshold again for opsi, 203 203 176 something like that?

[hollow gust]

156

[turbid marsh]

yeah with like 6 ships + 2 collab...

oh and lil agir, 2 metas too... damn

[cobalt gate]

@turbid marsh yeah also a huge backlog

[viscid swift]

just prioritize what gets uncapped

[turbid marsh]

hug 15-1 XD

[gusty olive]

What does fuze aa gun do again?

[forest palm]

nothing of importance

[brittle oasis]

Why is the SP stage of the event still unavailable

[hollow gust]

its been available from day 1, yo u need to clear d3

[gusty olive]

So... Better to stick with usual aa than fuze?

[brittle oasis]

Where can I see D3

[hollow gust]

go to B3, bottom left is hard mode

[brittle oasis]

Ohhh okay thank you

[cobalt rapids]

unless u use norcal yes

just grind normally

[hollow wave]

I'm a really really stupid person and I've come for assistance

[fierce lantern]

alright

[hollow wave]

I apologize ahead of time

But what do I do exactly?

[viscid swift]

uhhh, a bit of an open ended question

[hollow wave]

Right, so I like just installed the game and I have like -100 knowledge about what I should be focusing on, do I like begin farming for gear or smt? Or focus on the story? Events? I have no clue

[viscid swift]

might wanna start by giving these newbie tips a read through

there's an event banner going on for a few more days so you'll want to pull on that for Lion

[hollow wave]

Lion looks cool

[hybrid pelican]

Game wont load? Any solution pls

[forest palm]

what do you mean exactly?

[hybrid pelican]

It says "checking for updates"

Almost an hour stuck on that screen

[forest palm]

if you're on mobile switch to data rather than wifi and see if that works

[hybrid pelican]

Yea, it stays the same

#tech-support is the better place to go for this

[neat karma]

Hello

[serene moth]

hi

[wind hazel]

bye

[neat karma]

Guys I already have
Hood
Volga
Unicorn
Laffey
Helena
Little agir

I have medals to be able to buy either SR CA or SR BB
What should I do and choose?

[ivory pawn]

It’s the first week of the month, you’ll be able to get both. BB is good for tech, or Hood LB if you haven’t MLB’d her yet.

Usual recommendation is Tirpitz for IB tech points.

[neat karma]

What is MLB?

[ivory pawn]

Max Limit Break. Does she have all her stars or not.

[neat karma]

No 5 currently

[ivory pawn]

There you go, could opt to save a bulin. Or could opt for tech points for future Shipyard targets.

[neat karma]

I'm new just joined 3 days ago
So what is techpoints?

[ivory pawn]

Something you’ll want in the future. Helps unlock various strong ships in the Shipyard, as well as some stat bonuses.

[brisk wind]

Tech points are used to unlock ships in the laboratory or to get fleet upgrades, getting new ships and max limit breaking them gets you fleet points

The higher the better

[neat karma]

Ok
So for now I think I'll should opt for the bullin right?

Currently lvl 32

[brisk wind]

Don't level bulins they're for upgrading ships only

[neat karma]

Ahh so that's why I couldn't use one of the purple bullin

[neat karma]

The purple was lvl 13

[brisk wind]

Use them strategically for ships you like or good ones you get, getting their limits up is a must

[forest palm]

you can still use them, you just have to set it so you see the bulin

[atomic abyss]

Game filters out above level 1 by default

[neat karma]

👍

[ivory pawn]

I’d say Hood dupe is better short term, while a new BB (probably Tirpitz) would be better long term. Ofc you can just grab a bulin from the shop now and get best of both worlds.

[brisk wind]

For bossing fleets, who best works with Lion in the main fleet? Planning to use Vanguard and Implacable but I'm not impressed with Vanguard

[neat karma]

Can't i do
Volga Hood tirpiz
Leaving unicorn out for tirpiz

[brisk wind]

unicorn is one you want to use for your mobbing fleets (the fleet that attacks non-boss enemy fleets)

[steep merlin]

which one should I get? none of those I have have been limit broken

[neat karma]

I should have 2 fleets?

[split gazelle]

not yet

[ivory pawn]

Eventually, but not yet.

[wind oxide]

prob vanguard if you already have lion?

[neat karma]

I wasted my wishes in focused wish
Now I'm trying for lion

[steep merlin]

yes I have Lion MLB

[gray sphinx]

I been throwing her into a triple BB fleet of zwei, lion, and Alsace

[elfin hollow]

Best skins to buy?

[neat karma]

Wasted 120 wishes approximately

[brisk wind]

Lion is very, very good. If you can get her definitely try for it

[neat karma]

[ivory pawn]

The ones you like. There’s no benefit to skins other than looking pretty after all.
Hell, if you’re f2p, best not to buy any at all.

[elfin hollow]

Chat are any of the standard banner urs good

[gray sphinx]

Probably shinano the rest is meh

[severe tinsel]

i got the mail like gold ship selector from event, which one should i choose?

[gray sphinx]

Pins

[severe tinsel]

meta wise

[severe tinsel]

pins?

[gray sphinx]

The pins in this channel

[sacred parrot]

what should i be researching here? ive kinda just been at random ngl. mostly picking the free ones and the ones with shipgirls

[wind hazel]

i assume focus 5?

[wind oxide]

avoid the free ones tbh

[wind hazel]

plymouth blueprints whenever she appear, Q researches otherwise. in case like this, take the 4h G

[gray sphinx]

That looks like focus 4 I think

[wind hazel]

ye should be 4 lol

change to 5 or 7

[gray sphinx]

But I usually like to pick up the DR ship ones and if I don’t see any it’s the ones that have 1:30:00 or 2:30:00 durations and if that isn’t there I do the 1 hour rigging analysis ones that use common plates

[sacred parrot]

But, I'm trying to collect bp for Agir. Am i doing it wrong

[gray sphinx]

Can’t you coin agir now?

[wind hazel]

yes you're doing it wrong

[gray sphinx]

I would focus on ships that can’t be coined

Although idk what gear you might be missing from PR4 been a minute since I last did that

[sacred parrot]

Who should I select for focus 5 then

[wind hazel]

this

if no plymouth then brest

[sacred parrot]

Okodoki

[wind hazel]

basically pick the DR researches, otherwise pick the Q, once you have dev30 ply and/or a plygun, go to pr7

PR8 is coming soon though so...

[wicked obsidian]

I need to lvl 90 one of the 2 ...to finally meet the requirements for D1...so who do I lvl 90 ??
I got EXP packs

[sacred parrot]

So brest, then ply, then switch focus to 7. Got it

[wind oxide]

How soon is soon

[gray sphinx]

Not soon enough. although I still haven’t finished Napoli and nahk

[wind hazel]

July

[wind oxide]

🤣

😭

[wind hazel]

no, ply is the priority how did you get that from what i wrote...

what i meant when i said "if no ply then pick brest" i meant on this screen

[elfin nimbus]

[wind hazel]

feel like it's saying NJ is the better choice here

[turbid marsh]

i mean in my personal opinion i would say so too, only there for crossfleet contributions anyways, and thats opsi only.

[cobalt rapids]

the better choice depends what u value

[wind hazel]

i value u

[vale spindle]

Dont worry my guide will say differently

[deft kettle]

yes or no

[cobalt rapids]

no

[elfin nimbus]

no

[soft raft]

Hell fucking no

[deft kettle]

is she bad or good?

[cobalt rapids]

not worth investing in

[deft kettle]

oof

all metas trash?

[cobalt rapids]

from here yes they are only for tech

[weary gate]

purple metas aren't worth it

[turbid marsh]

some good techs i see

but i suppose you are not at the stage to grind techs yet?

[deft kettle]

i dont think so

im just tryna get cubes, but i prob got as many as i couldve gotten today

im 58 crest vouchers away from getting trafalgar

[cobalt rapids]

theres still like 5 days of dailies + pts u can grind so u should be fine

check if u have some easy to do handbook missions for extra cubes for lion tho if you haven't gotten her yet and you can refer to this to avoid handbook traps https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VJ12iQu8IdKQ0ss29c_KZ5BGk5BXT0mtwZoOuZMAuaE/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.3ed3l25xokgm

[slow birch]

how much extra dock space do you guys have?

Find it annoying having to pause my runs midway to remove the grey ships from my dock

[cobalt rapids]

around 400-500

[sharp comet]

if i lvl her now, she will be the same level once i unlock her right

[cobalt rapids]

yep

[sharp comet]

ty

[ivory pawn]

I find ~60 to be a decent amount. A bit more would feel comfier.

[sharp comet]

wait is it not possible to put her in the dorm?

[soft raft]

you cant do that with NPC ships

[sharp comet]

oh

[ivory pawn]

It is not. And it is very annoying yes.

[eternal basalt]

We get her on day 3 anyways, tommorrow

[soft raft]

you still need to grind the pts to unlock her but yeah

[sharp comet]

[ocean scroll]

[arctic aspen]

bro I literally can't play opsi what am I doing wrong? it's soft locked even after restarting game

[harsh gust]

move one of your fleets out of a way

oh wait, it is the outside one, not inside one

[ivory pawn]

He can’t. Looks like a device/connection error.

[split gazelle]

can you try auto search / strategic search?

[arctic aspen]

bro I hate that too

[harsh gust]

buttons don't press

[eternal basalt]

Reboot phone

[arctic aspen]

I rebooted my phone, it's fucking hard locked

[vale spindle]

Try clicking auto search or strategic search?

[eternal basalt]

Your phone, or the app? /logmode, #tech-support ?

[fierce lantern]

do npc ships gain affinity or do i have to wait until i get them fully

[arctic aspen]

Look at the video I can't even press buttons

I'm gonna try logging on another device maybe it'll fix it

[vale spindle]

i thought maybe those buttons specifically you could press even if other buttons don't work

[arctic aspen]

I pressed every one, even the reconnect button wouldn't press when I turned off the wifi

[eternal basalt]

--- /logmode

[arctic aspen]

wait wtf it suddenly started working again after I turned on a VPN

[slim dawn]

i crafted 5 of the new skip bombing dive bombers, spending medals to buy iris tech boxes, spending gold and t3 aircraft parts to maxit to lvl 10

[eternal basalt]

Why?

[slim dawn]

i dunno, are they good or nah

[sweet delta]

Congratulations but do you have a question

[atomic abyss]

Maybe ask before buying

[slim dawn]

it was for fun honestly

[atomic abyss]

But no, they're not good so uh, well played?

[sweet delta]

Well yeah they're fun

[eternal basalt]

Usually you build one copy "for fun"

[slim dawn]

testing it against s2bc

[sweet delta]

Glhf I guess

[atomic abyss]

The most you can say is the bombs always hit something

[slim dawn]

does it have good damage against what armor?

[sweet delta]

It's probably just prototype testing by the devs before they release a SR or UR skip bomber in pr8

[atomic abyss]

It's just not good lol

[sweet delta]

Even if you assume 100% hit rate, it loses to helldiver against all armor

[atomic abyss]

Anyways it's a bomb so shd follow the standard anti heavy bias

[sweet delta]

It's a TB in the DB slot

[slim dawn]

i hope they release it with materials using UR aircraft parts rather than T3 ordinance

[eternal basalt]

You know what PR is? Research, NOT lab

[slim dawn]

oh yeah

even worse

i only got the drake gun after 3 years of having drake lmao

[arctic aspen]

I built the new gay Torp without asking, im a victim too

[eternal basalt]

Did you build 5?

[arctic aspen]

no

[slim dawn]

[elfin hollow]

[viscid swift]

impossible

[rigid onyx]

Is 13-1 more exp/oil than 12-4

& more cogs

[vale spindle]

technically not more exp/oil but its more coins/oil
and it does have more cogs
but you don't get gray plate drops anymore

[soft raft]

That's not really possible due to:

1. Not all URs being within the same categories & Hulltypes
2. Various URs have different specializations
3. What can be said is the "Best UR' also varies on the content you're trying to do

[cobalt rapids]

about 70% more

[full plank]

what ships i MUST get from shipyard?

[cobalt rapids]

anchorage fdg aegir afterwards depends on ur focus

[soft raft]

Nakhimov, FdG, Plymouth, Shimanto, Brest, and everyone in PR4 except Marco Polo are some of the most popular ones

[full plank]

aight ty
and uh how to get tech points again?

[soft raft]

Obtain/MLB/Lvl 120 ships belonging to the relevant faction

[cobalt rapids]

/fleettech and check this guide https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleet_technology

[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

[full plank]

aight gotcha

[leaden mountain]

is trafalger worth limit breaking

[atomic abyss]

Yes, but lower priority than Lion and a lot of other UR backliners

[leaden mountain]

i have lion max limit, and my other URs r yorktown 2 and rafaello

[atomic abyss]

If those are your only other URs
I would save any future bulins for Bismarck 2 who is due to rerun soon
For URs, it's either max limit break or none at all

[leaden mountain]

so save my bulin and dont limit break traf? i only have 1 bulin anyways

[atomic abyss]

Yes
Given you only have 1
Come back and ask when you have 4 again

[leaden mountain]

also is she usable here? or is there someone better for newer players cuz idrk who's good

[viscid swift]

that whole fleet is barely usable as is

[atomic abyss]

URs aren't useful for new players in general
Cos they won't have the resources to limit break them

For example, that Yorktown 2 and Traf will be worse than golds or even purples

Because they're missing limit breaks

I would remove them both, especially Yorktown2 asap

Why is limit breaks important?
Well Yorktown 2 with 0 limit breaks is dealing less than a third of what she would do otherwise

[leaden mountain]

i have a max aquila and i heard shes pretty good should i replace york for her?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[leaden mountain]

who should i replace traf with

any of these?

[atomic abyss]

Who were you using previously

[leaden mountain]

pola i think

[atomic abyss]

Ideally Helena
But since she's not raised yet
Cleopatra since she's max limit broken

[leaden mountain]

i can max pola rn or is cleo better

[atomic abyss]

Portland in the left slot, Cleo at the end if the level is higher than laffey

Both are quite meh honestly lol

[leaden mountain]

laffey is higher

[atomic abyss]

Laffey in the last slot
Cleo in the middle

We'll maximize what you already have

[leaden mountain]

alr

thanks for the help

[kind slate]

Should I continue farming event. I have 70k points, all of pr/dr7 prints, both traf copies and ur gun. Should I continue farming for glorious copies?

[brisk wind]

Is Seattle worth building up or is San Diego already better?

[cobalt rapids]

only for tech and much better

[cobalt rapids]

u can just buy the crystals with event pts
and there were still dailies for traf insignias so abit of waste
also get cog chips and arrays if u havent alr
and the oil

[kind slate]

aight thnx

[glad light]

Now if only the game would give me gold Hellcats

[weary gate]

the foxes aren't even that good, come late game

[glad light]

dead imbed, god damn it

[weary gate]

[slow fox]

mutsukistare

For what it's worth, I think boss eHP is far too many degrees of separation away from allied DPS that my calcs are unreliable for determining anything useful for any intent or purpose. Have you found these calcs insightful?

[weary gate]

ok

[viscid swift]

sigh, don't use unrelated giffs in this channel please

[eager mulch]

[wheat ore]

is it okay to use some 1:1 formation to try and farm for her. or is it a complete waste of time

[glad light]

i dont even know how many times i farmed for her

[river junco]

farming akagi? just a collection thing really

[sweet delta]

If you're in late game then it's a good goal

[glad light]

i only farmed for her cuz i wanted both yandere

[wheat ore]

ah okay i guess that makes sense, i'm nowhere near end game

[onyx chasm]

Anyone know what gears I can add to lion?

[turbid marsh]

just give her her own gun from the shop for now, and then once you progress a bit further, aim for others.

[onyx chasm]

👍

[turbid marsh]

but if no rainbow gun yet, that triple 406 perfectly fine

[gaunt cedar]

for characters that dont have unique augs are the purple augments the best you can put on them? like you cant unlock gold later on or something?

[weary gate]

yes

[soft raft]

Ships only get gold augs when the devs feel like it

[true lagoon]

hello guys

quick question what's the required stage to unlock the SP and EX levels?

[harsh gust]

clear D3 (B3 Hard)

[kind slate]

Who’s worth to develop in pr4 and lower? I have a decent amount of prints left over. I have ancho fdg haku avp agir saint louis Odin. I can get Marco Polo up to dev30 immediately if I do develop her. What do you guys think

[soft raft]

FdG, Cheshire, and everyone in PR4 except Marco Polo

[kind slate]

So no marcopolo? Then I might do Cheshire next then..

[soft raft]

Yuh
mainly cuz PR BB in a UR BB world moment

[kind slate]

What does Cheshire do

[soft raft]

Tank and AA

[kind slate]

Nice so basically got eaten by Guam

[soft raft]

yeah Guam is a better Chesh lol

but tech points do be tech points so may as well

[kind slate]

Yea. Don’t think I’ll be getting pr 6 or 7 prints in a while anyways

Is it fine if I farm 11-4 instead of w12 cuz I want more coins but id like a bit more of roomba prints?

[viscid swift]

just open more T4 Royal Navy Tech boxes for more roombas

[jaunty glade]

can someone share their end game lion gear?

[forest palm]

it's no different from other BBs

[jaunty glade]

so same as musashi / new jersey?

and would that new UR gun be bis for her?
