[hollow gust]

musashi does not share similar main gun builds with other UR BBs

[jaunty glade]

okay, so new jersey would be fine to copy?

tyty

[topaz vector]

How do I rejuvenate exhausted ships?

[hollow gust]

put them in 2nd floor of dorm

[forest palm]

touch grass

[sinful escarp]

being in dorm makes them regenerate morale faster, and will let them reach 150 morale.

120+ morale you get bonus exp from the ship

[ornate narwhal]

What is a good gear early game build for my team?

[hollow gust]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home

[ornate narwhal]

There’s no early game stuff it’s all gold and above…

[hollow gust]

scroll down

[forest palm]

I mean...outside of Lion what's there is fine

[tame jungle]

actually, with how much damage is behind lion's barrages, would it not be a similar situation as musashi?

[viscid swift]

what

are you forgetting Musashi has an IJN main gun requirement

[tame jungle]

when musashi reran, people were arguing for lb2 musashi being preferable over some gold options

[viscid swift]

I mean yeah

[tame jungle]

so i'm just wondering if lion would be a similar situation

[viscid swift]

not like anything that's rerunning soon would take priority over her anyway

[viscid swift]

yes she is

[ornate narwhal]

When is Bismarck zwei rerun? Like later this month or next?

[hollow gust]

tbd

[viscid swift]

we don't know, I'd suspect this or next month but only time will tell

[last zenith]

dont know. just sometime in the next 1 or 2 months

[viscid swift]

not necessarily

[soft raft]

Wouldn't be surprised if it's this month
Cuz NJ Rerun was June 2024

I vividly remember getting surprised with NJ rerun happening right after BisZwei

[ornate narwhal]

What’s the gear lab prio for beginners?

[last zenith]

I mean... true but like. best assumtion

[viscid swift]

I'm just saying that because people need to remember that the devs have and will change up the rerun order as they see fit and rerun events when they choose to do so

[last zenith]

It prob wont be absoutly exactly the same

[viscid swift]

there have been periods of up to 3 months in between reruns before

[robust jasper]

Hope we don't get unzen this rerun

[robust jasper]

Already got er

[viscid swift]

also, Vanguard reran in July

[robust jasper]

Sweet

[last zenith]

UNZEN IS GOOD

[viscid swift]

what

[last zenith]

need her for my mini mini

[zinc flower]

Guys i got lucky and got 2 copies of lion. She should be my priority to mlb now right?

[soft raft]

That's still a bit far off

[soft raft]

There is zero pratical justification for raising duplicates of any kind so yes, MLB

[zinc flower]

Oh i already used the copies. Im just making sure that she's my priority to flb now

[last zenith]

cough cough

oops

[robust jasper]

Got er though

[last zenith]

get more

[robust jasper]

Why

Only thing I want from that event is the ur gun

[last zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/azur-lane-unzen-gif-7381171499545936162

[opaque galleon]

Another vanguard rerun?

[last zenith]

vanguard is permant

[fair lance]

last july I assume is what they meant

[opaque galleon]

Makes sense

[glad mortar]

I have a problem, I seem to skip story events at the main campaign? I don't know what I did, and I'm trying to figure out how to solve this, any help? .-.

[viscid swift]

The story ends after chapter 3 and is told through events

[last zenith]

hmmm

[soft raft]

There's no cutscenes after W3 because 1) The story pivots away from being "WW2 but with Anime boat waifus" and 2) "WW2 but with Anime boat waifus" would be pretty boring honestly

See the pinned Youtube video in #al-lore by Full Flow if you want to learn more about the lore

[ornate narwhal]

So what is the gear lab prio for gold/UR stuff

[soft raft]

/gearlab

[odd root]

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

[ornate narwhal]

I meant for the individual parts

[glad mortar]

I'm still at chapter 6, shouldnt it still have some story left?

[last zenith]

that is confusing

[soft raft]

Like I said, after W3 the story pivots away from being WW2 but with Anime boat waifus to an original storyline told thru events

All the other maps afterwards are just referencing WW2 campaigns and are completely unrelated to the overall lore
you can go ask in #al-lore if you want more details

[sweet delta]

This is relevant for your first (few) gear lab craft(s)

[pseudo hearth]

I think I asked this like 2 years ago, but I’ll ask this again. What are some good/fun secondary focused backline ships?

[viscid swift]

I don't think anything has changed from 2 years ago honestley

[weary gust]

Odin Ruppy Biz Z are basically the only notable ships that have extended secondary range.

[river junco]

Odin/rupprecht/fritz are fun if you wanna see constant secondary gun shots from the back line imo

[viscid swift]

you're still looking at shit like Odin, Ruppchrect, Tamaki, OG Bismarck, etc as far as ships go that have anything vaguely interesting for seconaries

[pseudo hearth]

Unfortunately didn’t manage to nab Fritz (which sucked because she seemed really fun and unique).

I assume Flandre is too inconsistent in regard to secondaries?

[river junco]

Flandre isn’t really known for long range secondaries, she has a handy preload though

[river junco]

Is it worth crafting a triple 310mm to put on Guam for anti-light in opsi? Currently have her equipped with the rainbow triple 305mm which I would move to agir on anti-med instead

[sweet delta]

Unzen gun is better

[brisk wind]

I'm sad the EN tier list is out of date

[sweet delta]

But gUam can't equip Unzen gun 💀

[river junco]

Yeah…

[sweet delta]

You should roll over the boss no matter what gun you put on Guam

[teal cedar]

An outdated tierlist is better than nothing at all

[pseudo hearth]

Tbf, she has long range secondaries, it’s just obviously tricky to get it to activate.

[stark quiver]

idt the secondaries matter that much

[bright glen]

What's the base Crit Rate and Damage for BB/BCs?

[sweet delta]

5% and +50% like all ships and enemies

[bright glen]

Would the Black shell be better than White shell on ships that needs Fire Control stuff? I assume yes.

[pseudo hearth]

Only unfortunate thing is Bismarck and Rupper fighting for flagship spot.

[stark quiver]

technically yes, but only a bit better

that build itself is not to good

idk what youre trying to do with uhh a 460 and a table

[orchid scarab]

Whos better aldalbert or Eugen?

[dusk dirge]

Who should I limit break next?

Mogador, Lion, raffaello, or Trafalgar?

[pseudo hearth]

Most likely Adalbert. Eugen sucks.

[orchid scarab]

Aight aight

Imma retire Eugen then just for medals

[river junco]

Hypothetically I wanted to use halford on manual for fun, would her planes hit if I keep her at the back?

[pseudo hearth]

No don't. That's tech

[stark quiver]

no

[orchid scarab]

Oh alr alr

[bright glen]

What would be the best loadout for her against mobs and bosses (heavy)?

[waxen valley]

when is emden gonna be perm

[stark quiver]

this is pretty standard, white and black shell dont rly matter

[viscid swift]

we don't know

[wary skiff]

should i get a 2nd tenrai or a 2nd bb double 457 from gearlab?

[waxen valley]

who is ryza

[stark quiver]

2nd tenrai is more imporant imo

[soft raft]

#bot-spam for personal use of bot commands

[soft raft]

The titular character of the Atelier Ryza franchise
they had a collab in AL like two years ago

[pseudo hearth]

Actually, didn't either Meta Schar or Gneiss have secondary gun focus? How're they?

[stark quiver]

bad

[soft raft]

their tech is whatever as well
HP and EVA

[jaunty glade]

is the new UR guy (from lion event) good and worth taking to +13?

[weary gust]

guy?

[stark quiver]

gun

[worldly root]

probably been asked this a million times but, any of the new blackrock shooter ships good?

[jaunty glade]

sorry gun*

[soft raft]

it's a better 406 Mk7

[warped acorn]

whats the max submarine scan range

[viscid swift]

looking decent but no one can say for certain right now

[weary gust]

Hunting range patterns vary by ship.

If you mean detecting subs in battles, idk range but hedgehog is unquestionably the best anti-sub gear.

[bright glen]

Just to confirm, the main gun is called Prototype Twin 410 Mod.A , right?

[plain saffron]

I don't think scan range will be a problem anyway

[soft raft]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Twin_410mm_(Mod.A_Prototype)#tabber-tabpanel-Type_0-0

[ornate narwhal]

Do I get the black or white shells first?

[soft raft]

white

[ornate narwhal]

Do I get independence first or shells

[ivory pawn]

Depends. Need a good carrier?

[ornate narwhal]

I have uni and lion and hood as my back line now

[ornate narwhal]

I think I’m good? But does she count for royal navy main fleet bc I need one to start unlocking monarch

[ivory pawn]

She's Eagle Union. But yeah you're probably fine, grab a White Shell.

[ornate narwhal]

Oh dang ok

[ornate narwhal]

Should I put it on lion or hood?

[dreamy blade]

You probably want at least 2 white +1 black shell before independence

[honest vector]

Which main guns for BRS?

[viscid swift]

usual choices

[honest vector]

Which are?

[honest vector]

So not the fast ones?

[hollow gust]

you really need dark mode

[viscid swift]

Dark mode can fuck off honestly

[hollow gust]

gonna get cancelled your dscord light mode too lmao?

[soft raft]

depends
Twin barrel guns dont sync with the Triple Barrel ones but they can be used in conjuction with them to stagger shots if syncing isnt important (RE: Basically everywhere outside of OpSi bossing)

[vale flicker]

which non-ur research ship from seasons 2-4 is highest prio? (for the free coin enhance)

[sweet delta]

anchorage or august

[ornate narwhal]

What should I buy from the opsi shops?

Like in Liverpool there’s gold mats, should I buy them?

[strange path]

different roles, but im pretty sure it's anchorage by a long shot

[tawdry halo]

Which one

[whole crypt]

for what, because they're both bad

this is the best DB for most part

[tawdry halo]

Like which one is better for a temporary dive bomber for Saratoga

I dont have a spare Helldiver

[whole crypt]

then firefly because you don't need to spend more resouces enhancing it

[whole crypt]

you should basically buy all gold lab materials until you have a good stock

[ornate narwhal]

What about with the coins?

And what about the gold meta mats?

[whole crypt]

if you mean the purple tokens you don't lose anything buying them

META materials up to you if you're raising METAs

[vale flicker]

thanks

why is FdG so high prio?

[whole crypt]

because there's a good chance she'll be your first or first few functional rainbow BB

[soft raft]

And UR BB pog

Warspite Retrofit doesnt count

[strange path]

she gets coin up so she's easier to max ; and dr ships take a long time to max

[ornate narwhal]

I meant like should I just spend the opsi coins on everything I can buy with them?

[strange path]

i mean for UR bbs u can get lion (and she's definitely better than Fdg right now) but for the coin up priority FdG is better than Azuma and Drake

it's good to plan ahead for what you want ; i didnt do this i got Roon, then Monarch, then Saint Louis and im doing Fdg now

but Monarch and Saint Louis i dont use so definitely could have spent that time doing something else

[soft raft]

eh at least they're tech points

[sweet delta]

black rock shooter - high gold
dead master - average gold
kawakaze meta - top gold, slightly below DDGs, like changchun but balanced

[warped acorn]

damn

[gray grove]

Is she good at all

[hollow gust]

Meh

[sweet delta]

mid, which means bad for new players

[gray grove]

Is there a legit tier list for the game

[swift hornet]

Does monthly arbiter have discoverable weakness

[hollow gust]

Nope, plus those don't work anyway

[sweet delta]

No, and those weaknesses on other bosses don't work either

[turbid marsh]

there is, but i wouldn't trust it blindly.

[whole crypt]

shit like blue and purple lab materials probably not worth, also you don't need to buy adapt samples since you get them from grinding anyway

[cold stump]

Need 13-4 hard auto fleets. Have almost all the ships. Suggest fleets along with the gear.

[whole crypt]

have you cleared ch15

[cold stump]

No i haven't touched ch15. Why?

[whole crypt]

because you can copy ch15 fleets for 13 hard but if you haven't then nevermind

[stark quiver]

watch out nnt, uto might come to bitch about it

[sinful escarp]

tbh, i just get almost everything. i just leave behind the tuning things, and repair kits

[cold stump]

Oh what are those fleets?

The ch 15 ones

[whole crypt]

u-who?

[stark quiver]

Some guy who likes to nitpick

[whole crypt]

well if you haven't done 15 just forget about it
13 hard isn't really that hard though what trouble are you having

[cold stump]

My mob fleet dies.

Well nvm i will just ignore it. I wanted to get the 2 ships remaining from there but seems kind of hassle .

[whole crypt]

main fleet or vanguard

what you were trying to lethal all mobs?

[soft raft]

Just farm the normal W13 stages if you're hunting for ship drops

[stark quiver]

This for example is a really good fleet

[cold stump]

Yeah will do that i have cleared till ch 14.

[viscid swift]

Ehh

[stark quiver]

Shh

[whole crypt]

if you're talking about ship drops though the only thing unique to 13-4 is Bunker HIll

[viscid swift]

Fritz and Yorktown 2 are kinda of an odd pairing but sure

[cold stump]

This is what i wanted. A good fleet composition. I am not familiar with the meta ships but i pulled for all.

[stark quiver]

We can do indep yk2

[whole crypt]

that's not exactly a good comp, it's just throwing overpowered ships at the wall

[viscid swift]

I prefer Amagi and Shinano myself

[whole crypt]

well who am I to say, I'm a low cost 13-1 guy who didn't even bother 100%ing the rest of 13H

[cold stump]

I have been doing that which is why i am having trouble. If you can suggest a fleet which might good for ch 13 hard it would be great

[cold stump]

😐😐

[warped acorn]

damn w13 have that high req

[viscid swift]

Well just throwing OP ships doesn't win battles alone

[stark quiver]

Big damage?

[viscid swift]

You still need to understand basic fleet building and gearing

[whole crypt]

it's possible you just have a gear issue

[viscid swift]

Both of which are seemingly not guarantees for this scenario

[cold stump]

Thats the reason why I am here. I wanted a fleet composition with the gear so i can work towards building it and someday clear 13-4 hard. 😅😅

[whole crypt]

can you show what you're using now

[viscid swift]

Not like w13 hard mode is not that difficult anyway

What exactly were you using before

Both ships and gear

[whole crypt]

I think it's better that we work from there to see what you might be getting wrong

[stark quiver]

Speaking of which, how do you suggest the changes here? I’m curious

[cold stump]

Just random ships. I haven't properly attempted the stage yet.

[whole crypt]

for a start you want everything to be at least 120

[soft raft]

What does the gear look like

[viscid swift]

I mean, for a start not using 120/125 ships

[whole crypt]

the ships are just underleveled and taking heavy level penalties

[viscid swift]

Level disadvantage alone would kill you there

[soft raft]

What the lvl 108 Unzen doing 💀

[late flame]

bro trying to handicap himself or what

[cold stump]

You don't understand. That is why i am asking if someone has a fleet which can clear 13-4. Please send me the composition with gear so i don't waste material on random ships.

[viscid swift]

My dude

[sick wind]

Who should i limit break guys

[viscid swift]

Even if you don't use those ships for w13 pretty much everyone will be useful elsewhere

[soft raft]

Jesus that's a lot of spread out bullins

[whole crypt]

the ships are good, they're underleveled

[viscid swift]

Be it OpSi or W15

[sick wind]

Im thinking trafa or raffa

[cold stump]

I can limit break to 125 in a second if i want to.

[viscid swift]

My dude, just grind them up in w12

It ain't difficult

[cold stump]

Got a lot of materials stocked up just want to know right ships to level up.

[viscid swift]

You thought wrong, Implacable or Amagi would be nexy

[whole crypt]

the ships you're using are fine for 13-4, some are actually great even, but they're dying to level penalties

[soft raft]

Ig uh
Implacable > Amagi CV > Shinano > Yk2 > Vanguard > Raff > Traff > UvH > Shimakazd

[cold stump]

👍

[viscid swift]

how active are you in the game actually

[soft raft]

And next time don't spread out your UR Bullins like this jfc

[viscid swift]

because frankly all of those ships should have long been 120 at least if not 125

[whole crypt]

now if you can get them leveled up and still have problems we can explore your gear, but at the very least level advantage is a big part of it

[viscid swift]

and as I said, grinding in W12 is piss easy

[cold stump]

Got it. I will level them up. Thanks

[viscid swift]

actually

are the URs even max limit break

[strong tangle]

Anyone has a good loadout sample for Fritz rumey, Alsace and Lion ?

[viscid swift]

pretty typical gear honestley

[strong tangle]

Alright thnx a lot

[stark quiver]

[strong tangle]

one last thing should i use 2x steam catapult in the aux slot?

[viscid swift]

In most cases yes

[strong tangle]

alright thnx

[glad light]

Any battleship I should prioritize?

[hollow gust]

Hood obtained , then ships like Tirpitz for faction tech

[glad light]

well i do lack iron blood tech points

[glad light]

well i got lucky and pulled Hood during a Lion pull

[atomic abyss]

Kawakaze·META(Tier.15)

1. 77.50 - 74.95: AFK
2. 74.95 - 63.90: nonstop movement
3. 63.90 - 46.75: go to (-10, 50)
4. 46.75 - 28.70: nonstop movement
5. 28.70 - 0.00: go to (-10, 50)

She doesn't stay stationary according to CN tests

[wind hazel]

any idea about vanguard pressure lv15?

[atomic abyss]

No info there

But given her gimmick

Eld retro will be extremely good there

[wind oxide]

traf and aurora?

[atomic abyss]

High shell volume

Yeah traf aurora are probably the other 2

My 🔮 guess is Lion Soy Nakh will be the best

Unless eld retro is good enough for a (cursed?) Kears YK2 Lion comp

[stark quiver]

Hi can I get traf from lvl 60 to 125 in 5 days without whaling for oil and using books

[wind hazel]

impossiburu

[stark quiver]

[sinful escarp]

if you dont care about affection, yes

[stark quiver]

Dam, her skills are 8/1/1 too

[wind hazel]

aurora z52, trust

[stark quiver]

2 shot demon

I have a comp already so

[sweet delta]

that's datamine, not test

[stark quiver]

Mfs who data mine vs mfs who watch a video

[shell willow]

when you say "go to x" you mean shes stationary in that timeframe?

[sweet delta]

she travels to that point, and then becomes stationary

[shell willow]

[fluid umbra]

I got a tenrai, how does this sync look

It's an anti heavy cv fleet

[sweet delta]

the sync is better than good, but sirius isn't great against heavy

and the crown isn't good

[fluid umbra]

Is it not? It's just a gold hp item

[wind hazel]

it's fine if you don't have anything better. shinano planes can be improved too

[fluid umbra]

Mmh, I don't know what I can improve on her

Don't have another tenrai atm

[sweet delta]

then it is good

[fossil hull]

i've been using ldplayer and there are times the game just freezes up whenever i do battle is there any fix to this

[wind hazel]

#tech-support read the pin

[fossil hull]

thanks

[fluid umbra]

Should I get another tenrai as my goal or is there something more pressing

From the gear lab anyway

Also in what fleet would I build lion and with what gear

[meager tiger]

whats the new kawakaze meta fleet

[whole crypt]

there isn't one yet

[fair lance]

it's level 4 no one knows

[meager tiger]

oh yeah i forgot

lol

[fluid umbra]

I'm giving lion this gear, not sure where to put her yet though

[wind hazel]

in the bench

[fluid umbra]

Waiting on coins to LB and upgrade gear

I've got the mats, just not the coins rn. Event stage gives very little coins

Thinking of where to put her after i max her out

[wind hazel]

HE gun vs Light, S/AP gun vs med/heavy

[fluid umbra]

Any synergies with other ships or can I just plug her in and sync?

[wind hazel]

there is plan to test her with soyuz nakhimov, or you can chuck her in with the other BBs

[fluid umbra]

Aight ty

Oh and do you guys have 3 fleets, 1 for each armor type in opsi + 1 mobbing or do you guys use 1 fleet for everything?

[full plank]

how do i get more of these double fuel cost double reward tickets

[atomic abyss]

Operation voucher shop

Cruise pass

[full plank]

aight ill check where the shop is
if i can find it

[atomic abyss]

3 fleets
1 mob
1 BB boss
1 CV boss

[full plank]

btw whats the cd to pat the shop npc for rewards

[atomic abyss]

You need to have completed chap 4 of opsi
So I doubt you have it

[full plank]

the one that always makes cat noises

[fluid umbra]

Okay, what about armor type? Or does it not matter too much

[atomic abyss]

Change gear according to armour type

[atomic abyss]

Random cd
It's a fixed pool

[full plank]

random cd :(

[fluid umbra]

What shop npc? Huuh

[atomic abyss]

Akashi

[full plank]

oh ye her

[atomic abyss]

Who gives new player rewards if you pat her

[full plank]

the one that spams nya

[fluid umbra]

Oh new players

I just never touched her so I never knew

[full plank]

imma need you to rephrase that

blue archive community is the other way

[fluid umbra]

I just meant I never clicked on her

[atomic abyss]

I think you're the one that needs to go to the BA community if you misinterpreted it that badly

[wind oxide]

Real

[full plank]

imma go farm the gun for lion rq

i HOPE i finish it by today

[cunning bone]

does anyone know who is the next ur rerun will be?

[atomic abyss]

Bismarck 2 is due next

[fair lance]

Should be Bismarck

[atomic abyss]

No date tho

[cunning bone]

FINALLY

[full plank]

ay @atomic abyss where do i find the 4k fuel weekly pack i dont see it in shop

i only see 1.2k for some gems

[atomic abyss]

Check "packs"

[vale spindle]

have to go to the gem shop and its listed as a free item within the gem shop

[soft raft]

It's a free pack that refreshes every weekly reset

[full plank]

i clicked gems
still no freebie

[cunning bone]

has unzen rerun yet?

[wind hazel]

it's once per week

[atomic abyss]

No

[soft raft]

Short answer: Bismarck Zwei
Long answer (if you wanted to know what the supposed order will be):

[full plank]

the fact that this is still LESS text than one skill description of a genshin impact character/weapon

[sharp socket]

is it fools scales event that has that gold CL gun thats really good

[soft raft]

Yes

Iirc it is also the closest thing we have to Bayard's guns in WoWs

[waxen valley]

What’s the best way to get blueprints once the DR catch up runs out

[wind hazel]

research academy

[waxen valley]

What’s the best thing to research for it prioritize that series and then what else ?

[agile sky]

when i go to the wishing well, do "new" mean never pulled before or does it mean unowned? Cuz i think i mightve accidentally mass retired a few epic ships and idk if they will still appear as "new" or not.

[wind hazel]

never pulled before

[fair lance]

iirc new when a ship pops up means you've never had them in your doc before.

[wind hazel]

if you pulled before but retired them, it will still register under your collection, and they won't be [new]

[waxen valley]

Thanks so ig I just choose the shortest timed thing that also gives a BP

does the 30 min rigging give a BP?

[wind hazel]

no Q rigging only give gear blueprints

[waxen valley]

Oh okay so then why shd I choose that one bc it’s only 30 min?

[wind hazel]

because gear is good

[waxen valley]

lol tru

[wind hazel]

the value also comes from the short duration

[waxen valley]

Okay cool thank you

[wind hazel]

so it's basically taking your chance to get rainbow gear prints and act as a refresh for your ship research

[waxen valley]

So as an example best one here is the napoli one?

[dreamy blade]

not when you have 267 coins

[waxen valley]

[dreamy blade]

but yes if you had the coins to spare and couldnt refresh, you would pick that (i would refresh here)

[waxen valley]

I just spent 60k to get kearsarge 🥲

[dreamy blade]

either refresh or take the pr6 2h rigging

[wind hazel]

just take the Q lol

[waxen valley]

The 1hr rigging ? lol

[wind hazel]

why focus 6 though

[dreamy blade]

oh youre pr6 focus

[waxen valley]

I forgot to switch it LMFAOO I’m stupid I had it for shimanto

[wind hazel]

ye should dip after fs5 shimanto if you wanted her

[waxen valley]

Yeah I finished her thankfully thank you for pointing out my key mistake

hello im new to azur lane, is there a website for newbie guide?

Don't use ECTL's 'New Player's Guide', use the 'Newbie Tips' instead.

[fluid umbra]

I do
Cognition (No Cube)>Grant Donation>Rigging Analysis>If nothing then refresh

[normal cedar]

what rank is the new gold french dive bomber
like if helldiver is second best (sidegrade) and tenrai is first best

[rapid grail]

ECTL new player guide is a relic of the recommendations back then. Nowadays a lot of stuff has changed enough that you can smoothly speedrun up to w13 without touching much

[sweet delta]

It is equivalent to firefly 1771

[nova crane]

what is the commander 00 thing that was sneaked

[polar linden]

Any help with what kind of item I should equip with her?

[kind slate]

Donate ur coins pls

[wet badge]

Whats a good fleet comp with kron

[stark quiver]

Standard cl build
Gold Rudder and toolkit
Good aa gun twin 90mm/twin 113
Quad mag torps
Quad 152 cl gun

[fickle hollow]

is there a way to skip this automatically?

[whole crypt]

turn on reduce TB guidance

[stark quiver]

Insert kronk as a tank for any fleet

[whole crypt]

normal CL but don't bother if you can't LB yet

as it turns out you can bring a lv1 BC to 12-1

[hushed cliff]

Which CB gun is gonna be better for general use? (These are the only ones I have )

[bright glen]

Will OpSi Meta sync events rerun?

[atomic abyss]

They will get added to meta dossier eventually

[whole crypt]

dossiers usually around 1.5 years after the original ends

[atomic abyss]

Left

[whole crypt]

the right isn't even a CB gun

[polar linden]

Hahaha I would if I can,I keep hitting the cap

[polar linden]

Nah not normal CL hahaha

[whole crypt]

there's nothing not normal about her but sure

[wet badge]

Why is nap rated so low on slaimuda tierlist

[whole crypt]

napoli? she's t-ex

[wet badge]

O

[tame jungle]

N comes after A, B, G, H and K in the alphabet

[polar linden]

Well if you're running 1:1 which some of us honestly do ,Kirov meta skill can stock up and gives 100% Eva for the whole battle if I'm correct

Plus don't bother with tierlist lol

[wet badge]

What does kron do that the other cbs dont do

[tame jungle]

1.4 damage instead of 1

[split gazelle]

tierlist gives a ballpark idea of how useful someone can be.

[whole crypt]

tierlist gives a ballpark of how useful a ship is from ch9 to 13

[whole crypt]

1. it's eva not evarate
2. the eva part of the skill isn't the stacking part

[split gazelle]

tbf if someone is at ch13 I hope they dont consult a tierlist anymore

[wet badge]

WAIT KRON HAS A CL SECONDARY????

[whole crypt]

she does but do you have a spare 152 for her

[wet badge]

Not the rainbow one

[whole crypt]

I mean plenty of people play blind until they get stuck, and for some people that's when they hit 13

nothing really special about Kronshtadt nowadays besides being slightly better damage than other CBs

[split gazelle]

the investment is the worst part

[polar linden]

Lol read it again,if your running 1:1 it stock to 100% not just the FP but the Eva too

[whole crypt]

I did

and even if it did stack it's eva not evarate

there are cheaper and better ships to 1:1 with

[polar linden]

Really? Cause for us what we use for w13 is straight up AA monsters,no tierlist base

[polar linden]

Eva means Evasion rate lol

[tame jungle]

no it does not

[whole crypt]

it doesn't it means eva stat

[polar linden]

It's not the stats of course lol,it's means they straight up can Eva things up

[whole crypt]

it's just by nature of how ECTL defines its tiering "not for specific lategame encounters" and "in a complete state"

[crimson glacier]

eva has always meant evasion stat

[whole crypt]

you realize there are ships that have eva rate skills and they're specifically eva rate
without reference to rate it's always eva stat

eva vs eva rate aside, you can probably check with the datamine guys whether the eva part of the skill stacks but my guess is it doesn't and you're just being confidently wrong

also 100% eva rate is pretty broken and I'm sure we'd all have heard about it a year ago if it really worked like that

[late flame]

cope for a meta ship that's actually meta

[atomic abyss]

The game caps eva rate at 90%

[whole crypt]

the game caps eva at 90%, not eva rate

[atomic abyss]

[whole crypt]

actually it's the reverse, it floors accuracy at 10%

[crimson glacier]

im about to cap you

[whole crypt]

eva rate skills can get around that

[tame jungle]

no cap

[atomic abyss]

As far as I'm aware

Min Eva rate is 10%
Max is 90%

[atomic abyss]

Stuff like eld retro functions fundamentally differently

[wet badge]

Wth is an eva

[tame jungle]

evasion stat

[wet badge]

Aint that the helmet from halo

[whole crypt]

eldridge retrofit is straight up invincibility, you want to look at eldridge not-retro or perfect evasion skills

[whole crypt]

it all goes back to the accuracy formula
the floor for accuracy is 10% which works for both you and enemy ships
so the "cap" of eva calc is 90% because enemy ships also floor at 10% hit against you, but eva rate skills can work around that

[hybrid pelican]

Where is kawakaze datamine ?

[wet badge]

Does hindenbueg aoa activate 2x as fast because of her 2 guns?

[whole crypt]

1.5 because it's 2 mounts on first gun and 1 on third slot

[wet badge]

Good enough

[hybrid pelican]

Wouldn that be 2.5 in total?

[dusk dirge]

Who should I limit break next?

Mogador, Lion, raffaello, or Trafalgar?

[tame jungle]

you have 3 guns instead of 2 with a normal mgm+1 ship

[whole crypt]

Lion

[wet badge]

Bisz or implac to mlb

[whole crypt]

depends

[dusk dirge]

How does Lion fit in with the o the other UR BB’s? Is she better than sushi?

My main BB fleet is Zwie, Vanguard, Sushi

[whole crypt]

Musashi already isn't the best depending on armour type but Lion just tops her completely for all armour types

[dusk dirge]

Thanks!

[slow fox]

That's super busted.

[wet badge]

Is hindy better than unzen for dps

[bright glen]

How much HIT/ACC is good for BBs/BCs?

[tame jungle]

as much as possible

[whole crypt]

as much as you can reasonably equip

[whole crypt]

not really but depends

[wet badge]

Wdym

[whole crypt]

Unzen definitely does better against heavy armour
medium is kind of shrug

[bright glen]

So, should I replace Raffaello's current AA with the Eagle Union UR AA? Her HIT/ACC seems kinda low when compared to Bisco II, who has 80 base.

[whole crypt]

if you can't afford 76mm you can go for STAAG but usually that's what we use

black shell can be replaced with HPFCR unless you need the timing

[atomic abyss]

Use sword unless you're fighting heavy bosses

[wind hazel]

i'd change the gun too

[bright glen]

I'll change the gun depending on the boss's armor type. Btw, I'd like to know how does Rafaello fit in the current BB meta?

[wind hazel]

last to be picked

[stark quiver]

She’s pretty high for campaign mobbing at least

[wind hazel]

mobfaello

[bright glen]

Btw, for 14-4, can I use unga bunga UR fleet, and still win easily?

[wind hazel]

no

[dreamy blade]

did that work for you in 14-3

[stark quiver]

Asw will be the end of you

[bright glen]

Tbh Idk what I did in 14-3. I havent touched 14-4 for 1 year

[late flame]

who should i pick for my wishing well?

[stark quiver]

How many cubes do you have

[silent fiber]

....

[wind hazel]

are you new?
yes>Light build
no>how many cubes?

[wicked obsidian]

Hay,,,looks like ican finally do The Event C3 but for D1 i need 2 more lvl 90 units..

[stark quiver]

You can probably skip wishing well all together

[silent fiber]

17..

[fair lance]

No

[late flame]

dun bother with wishing well lol

[wind hazel]

go pick Light

[stark quiver]

Yea u should probably skip wishing well, it won’t help you

[wind hazel]

bad advice Andies

[stark quiver]

That’s tough Mori

[late flame]

also: do you have lion?

[wind hazel]

why do you guys tell people to skip wishing well

[silent fiber]

i act just came back from the game and i dont really know what to do and forgot most functions of the game

[wind hazel]

when picking Light is the same as doing light on normal build

[wicked obsidian]

Should i still grind event for Gold ??

[stark quiver]

Because I forgot

[late flame]

b-but lion

[wind hazel]

it's always

• event banner, get Lion, then;
• wishing well:
  no cubes, pick Light, 1 daily
  lots of cubes, pick whichever ship you're missing, 3 a day or accordingly to your cubes

[stark quiver]

Sowey mori I love u

ayoo

[meager hollow]

[wind oxide]

6:20

[meager hollow]

Shiii

[silent fiber]

should i pull for lion?

[wind hazel]

yes

[silent fiber]

i really want ulrich tho LOL

[atomic abyss]

You can get for free with the spark once you reach that many rolls

Rather than blindly roll

[silent fiber]

what roll?

[meager hollow]

Is agir still the strongest or did she finally get powercrept lol

[atomic abyss]

Rather than blindly build for ulrich

[stark quiver]

Napoli is a better tank in terms of ehp

[atomic abyss]

Napoli is tankier
But there isn't really content that needs specifically or and Agir's specific skill set

[meager hollow]

Ahh sadge she finally got powercrept

Whos napoli?
PR ship or an old UR event

[silent fiber]

oh so the standard banner has a 400 pity, just saw that
does the event pulls contribute to the standard pity though?

she still has her niche is just that recent meta fights have favored different types of ships

[wheat ore]

i'm so confused

[wind hazel]

about what

[warped acorn]

that charles...

[wind hazel]

oh

just visual glitch, change screen or relog will fix it

[wheat ore]

oh so the actual ship is z23 but wrong art?

[inland shoal]

Probably

[kind slate]

whats the next best ship to dev? i have all of pr4 (apart from marcopolo), fdg, ply shimanto, nahi, brest, harbin shimanto kear, napoli.

nahi, kear napoli is far from dev 30

[wind hazel]

maybe ibuki

[vapid mantle]

hi everyone I am returning player and Idk what am doing anymore can anyone help me out? like team to use or what to equip that all.

[kind slate]

ibuki? i was thinking someone in pr6/7 or cheshire but she better?

[wind hazel]

do you have the blueprints for pr6 ships? otherwise it's useless
bayard is decent if you need strong mob tank from pr7 (im assuming you're pr7 focus on this)
cheshire is only good for AA, not many place to use her
ibuki is at least good for opsi mob and decent enough as torp dps if you don't have unzen

[kind slate]

ive 115 of dr7, 35 of pr6 and 141 of pr7

[wind hazel]

yes so pr6 is basically useless to you

im talking about the ships blueprints btw, not the blanks

but from the sound of it it's still not enough

[turbid marsh]

better to open up a thread, post your dock and stuff for team building. right now just focus on getting lion, grinding event for traf + lion gun and stuff XD.

[vapid mantle]

am sry how to open a thread in here? I never do it before

[turbid marsh]

right click (or hold on phone/pads) on your own msg

[river junco]

what's the best campaign stage for coin per oil between w12-w15?

[vapid mantle]

Help me I am returning player and forgot how to play the game now

is this correct?

[stark quiver]

13-4

[vapid mantle]

thx everyone

[wicked obsidian]

what lvl ships do i need to play Chapter 13 ?

[turbid marsh]

grind chapter13 or clear for first time?

[wicked obsidian]

Clear for 1st time.. (i am in chapter 6 now)

[turbid marsh]

i wouldn't be thinking about clearing chapter 13 as of now... maybe when you have maybe like 2-3 rows of 120s

[wicked obsidian]

aww...Daam....How do you guys Summon then there is just not enough Coin for it...

[turbid marsh]

w11 and up, have decent coin. event has plenty-ish too, so D3.

gotta prioritize where to spend coins i guess XD can't retrofit/give augment/doing cats when you see it available.

[mystic belfry]

how many Quest thingies does the Akashi's quest thing have? currently in the "Defeat 8-4" part

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Akashi/Questline

[wicked obsidian]

I am stuck in C3 in event..

looks like no matter what i do i wont make it to 200 pity..i am on 70 summon now

Wasttttttte

all

[turbid marsh]

yes, grind some levels in C3, and then move to D1 if you can. D maps have oil limit = better coin drops

[wicked obsidian]

How much does D1 give ??

in 1 run

[turbid marsh]

similar to w9 drop i think.

like 500? that you ll have to check wiki or something, i didn't pay attention as i didn't grind d1 XD

[turbid marsh]

why do you want pity? didn't get lion yet?

[wicked obsidian]

HMMM... Didnt get Lion..on 70 summon

[tame jungle]

70 pulls = 57% chance of getting lion

as you may or may not know, 57% chance is not 100%

[turbid marsh]

best of luck. grind some levels and head to d1. can do 6 ships too.

[tame jungle]

just keep on pulling until the end

[split gazelle]

if I have BRS (collab unit) and Lion, which is better for mobbing/bossing? I assume BRS for mobbing and lion bossing?

[turbid marsh]

i wouldn't even bother with BRB units... but that's just me.

[wicked obsidian]

its clear that i wont make it to 200.. Wouldnt keep summoning...just be wasting cubes if i dont get Lion

[tame jungle]

and what if you do

[kind slate]

I have these. What do you think

[turbid marsh]

i think its worth it. but if you decide to forfeit then that is up to you buddy.

[wicked obsidian]

I am never that Lucky...Anywhere

[wind hazel]

same as before, assuming you are focus PR7, pick either pr7 ships or ibuki or anyone that you can enhance and use

pr6=useless

[turbid marsh]

like there is no point complaining or be pessimistic, if you try to grind out 200, you might be able to make it. but if you forfeit already, its 0%.

[kind slate]

Even hinden?

[wind hazel]

can you dev30 her?

[kind slate]

not soon but

[wind hazel]

SO IT'S USELESS 😭 how many times i gotta repeat

[split gazelle]

fair enough, don't have hood and heard BRS was better so thought I might as well invest in BRS

[wicked obsidian]

i would grind all day if i could...but not enough oil...i have about 7500 left

[kind slate]

my bad whose best to do in pr7

[wind hazel]

bayard is nice

daisen is ok if you need bb, avoid halford

[kind slate]

What she do

[wind hazel]

good mob tank with good dps

[late flame]

nice armpits french waifu

[turbid marsh]

then slow down for a bit, try to reach D1 and then grind. you get plenty per day, at your level probably 2k oil per day or something

[kind slate]

nice

[wicked obsidian]

The banner only has 5 days left tho right

[turbid marsh]

i would still say keep pulling tbh

[wicked obsidian]

Are cubes that easy to come by...that U guys are telling me to pull.....

[stark quiver]

No, but you should pull

[late flame]

||or wait 2 years until event reruns||

[wicked obsidian]

[winter quartz]

will I keep +10 if I do this?

[river junco]

no, you get refunded some of the upgrade materials excluding coins but +10 is lost

[orchid scarab]

Is galiant good?

[hollow gust]

No lol

[rapid grail]

mog gun or ijn ur dd gun? thinking which gun has better dps on lb0 mahans

[sinful escarp]

are you asking about valiant or gallant?

[orchid scarab]

Gallant I mean

[sinful escarp]

both no

[orchid scarab]

Wtab nelson?

[fleet berry]

I thought all of the plates are refunded, but only 10% of the coins or something like that?

[river junco]

my bad it should

[rapid grail]

100% of all the plates + 25% of coin investment returned to u
its why some people can recommend +13 on some gear because it's easy to recap on gold plates, which are quite rare outside of consistent gameplay

[hollow wave]

Should I replace laffey for Eugene

Bet

[split gazelle]

out of nelson/brs/lion, who fits in campaign mobbing/bossing the most?

[turbid marsh]

nelson for mob, lion for both

[late flame]

if you are just levelling, nelson/brs : mobbing yeah. lion can do either

[split gazelle]

collabs don't have tech right?

[forest palm]

Children, and Meta do not give any tech

[fleet berry]

Collab, Children, and Muse. META gives tech.

[forest palm]

forgot Muse existed

Collabs don't even count for Collection %

[agile patrol]

should i get baint souis when i can?

[split gazelle]

you have lion already right? (as in, you don't need coins/cubes anymore)

[agile patrol]

yeah i got lion

[agile patrol]

idek what the priority is for the shipyard
i think someone told me in the past to get saint louis

it says here izumo is the best?

[split gazelle]

then yeah, it's fine to get her. you could wait until you get the combat data fully ready but doesn't matter that much

[agile patrol]

so idk why i chose saint louis ... ... ...

[split gazelle]

because it's the first you will get access to

[agile patrol]

yep i'll wait til they're all checklisted

[agile patrol]

ohhh its in order? i seee ...

--- doesnt that mean it'll take a stupidly long time to get to saaay, PR6?

[split gazelle]

nono, thats not what I meant

Saint louis is the easiest in terms of requirements to start researching

[agile patrol]

ou hhh.. i understand . okay i'll get her when i can!

[split gazelle]

you'll most likely do roon next, followed by fdg/anchorage

roon is basically just another way to get iron blood tech points which you need for fdg/agir eventually

[wheat ore]

how long does this usually take, or is it too far out of reach that i shouldn't worry about it?

[atomic abyss]

It takes you as long as it takes to complete opsi ch4

[forest palm]

like a week of grinding potentially imo

[wheat ore]

ah okay

[stark quiver]

whats the bulin/month income now?

[atomic abyss]

2.5

Assuming no UR events

[stiff heron]

Is it possible to get 40 cubes in 4 days?

[atomic abyss]

If you happen to complete the relevant rookie missions yes

[split gazelle]

will the biszwei rerun give any bulins/dupes?

[atomic abyss]

1 at 15k probably

[split gazelle]

1 bulin gotcha

[forest palm]

hard to say, but it's very unlikely

[stark quiver]

oh so if im fully caught up with mlb URs, then it shouldnt be a problem to use bulins on older perma pool ones

[raw ravine]

how do I get more oil? does the oil farm method still works?

[atomic abyss]

💳

The old method no longer works
You can't retire ships for oil

[stiff heron]

I also ahve this?

[raw ravine]

oh shit, so what's a good way now? ;-;

[atomic abyss]

There isn't

[stiff heron]

Not sure if 6/11 is where lion is not available or is it still pullable at 6/11

[atomic abyss]

It's good oil management or whaling

[atomic abyss]

Wednesday is the last day

[dreamy blade]

there will be a weekly reset to get the shop pack for oil before the event ends

[forest palm]

there's a lot of cubes that can be attained through the Handbook Missions, and Cruise Rewards that may land you at 40, but again 4 days is not a lot of time

[stiff heron]

Yikes

[vocal sandal]

when does a dev ship reach mlb?

[stiff heron]

Prayge i get cube rain from somewhere

[forest palm]

30

[atomic abyss]

1 stage gives 20
So 2 well

[vocal sandal]

so i cant level up an sr dev ship above 100 till i finish lv30?

[forest palm]

PRY and DR aren't constained by the normal level cap

[agile patrol]

hi
i have 195 UR vouchers rn, almost enough for tralfalgalarlar. and around 15k of the normal currency
i don't have glroorious meta yet, do I get her with currency?

[forest palm]

well outside of how much prints yo ucan feed them

[vocal sandal]

oh ok

[dreamy blade]

wait til the event ends

[forest palm]

4 days left to grind is plenty of time to work things out

[dreamy blade]

the shop sticks around for a while after to let you spend your currency

[agile patrol]

okayy!!!
and leftovers go to USS tech boxes, yes?

[dreamy blade]

if you are new yes

[agile patrol]

thank you slinger of cards

[split moon]

which of these is better for musashi (boss fleet)

[atomic abyss]

Right

[reef flume]

Twin

[split moon]

ok

[kind slate]

Guys how many of each would you recommend? Looking towards w15. Rainbow he BB gun, 457, tenrai, flapjack and breguet (or wyvern)

[elfin hollow]

AL has been freezing ALOT lately on emulator, during battles, is there anything I can do to fix that? I am assuming its one of the attacks causing the crash but dont really want to unequiq everything one at a time... is there any attacks that are known to be crashy?

[warped acorn]

no idea

more like cant handle

i just change emulator to mumuplayer and its solved

[elfin hollow]

ill prob do the same then, LDPlayer having too many issues for me these days

[soft raft]

at most 3 of any UR Gear is fine
Flapjacks you can make as many as you want

[warped acorn]

well i was using ldplayer before that and yep that happens

[kind slate]

Can I use tigercat instead? They’re cheaper for me..

[atomic abyss]

Cheaper but worse

[elfin hollow]

that explains it then, have to switch emulator for sure, mumu runs other games with higher graphics that lag in LDPlayer flawlessly

[kind slate]

How much worse. Is it worth the cheapness

[atomic abyss]

It's not much cheaper lmao

[warped acorn]

yep, literally can see lion l2d skin there but not ldplayer

[soft raft]

iirc it mainly flies faster so it has less oppurtunity to fire

[atomic abyss]

Basically it doesn't AA as well

[kind slate]

Kk another question: is lion gun a substitute for ur he gun? And is sextuple the go-to instead of the long barrelled one?

[elfin hollow]

only issue is that LDPlayer does not give you back the storage it takes up, like after I unistall Azur Lane, it still gonna take up 20GB... literally have to unistall every other game and reinstall the emulator... probably good time to just drop LDPlayer totally

[warped acorn]

yea, and maybe u want to check the pin at #tech-support theres more detailed information abt that

[atomic abyss]

Lion gun is better

[soft raft]

it's better than the 406 Mk 7 but you'll still use the 406 Mk7 anyways since you can only get 1 lion gun rn
Sextuple is good but wdym by "The long barreled one"?

[elfin hollow]

appreciate it, ill take a look

[kind slate]

The aa gun that raises hit iirc? The double barrelled one

[soft raft]

the AA Guns with HIT stat are mainly for backliners not frontliners

[kind slate]

oh I see. Is bofors better than it?

[balmy skiff]

How good is BRS and DM?

[soft raft]

im assuming you're referring to Sextuple (Because there's alot of guns with the word "Bofors" in the name) but yeah they're better on frontliners

[kind slate]

How about on backliners. I’m using the 40 staag rn

[hollow gust]

The BC is okay, the CV isn't so good

[soft raft]

like I said earlier, HIT Stat AA Guns like STAAG and Hazemyer are better for backliners

[kind slate]

thank you. So I don’t need this cuz it’s fp?

[soft raft]

that's pretty niche overall

[kind slate]

alright. Thank a lot

Wt sorry, do bb want cl subgun or dd. Its probs late to ask but

[soft raft]

CL if possible
The some BBs are restricted to DD only

[kind slate]

Right cuz I see the eagle union dd gun quite high in the tier list website

[soft raft]

yeah that's specifically made to give DD locked BBs the equivalent of a CL gun lol

[kind slate]

Aight

[sharp socket]

twin 137 is also apparently good for suicide boat interception too, second only behind q152

[kind slate]

oh. I don’t have enough plyguns to spare on bbs lol

How about the single 113 for dds? Worth it?

[warped tartan]

Hi pros! New player here! What should I pull for? Or is there a specific banner that I should pull?

[kind slate]

Pull lion I think

[topaz vector]

I have an extra lion should I limit break her?

[sharp socket]

if the dd in question is z52, kazagumo, or some others that have strong barrages then yes its a premium option over single 76mm

[kind slate]

Does that include trafalgar

[sharp socket]

probably

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[atomic abyss]

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

This may be useful

As said, pull the event banner for lion
You should stop once you get her

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[sharp socket]

however you probably wont see much difference in damage overall but single 113m is slightly better

very low in priority for things to craft

[kind slate]

thnx

[golden saffron]

I have 2 UR bulin should I wait? I also will have a 3rd from the pass soon.

[red stag]

just got back into the game, are the UR vouchers farmable?

[wind hazel]

what other UR you have

[golden saffron]

I was gonna put her on the lion team

[lilac forum]

does anyone know if there is a way to get a taihou meta crystal or can you not get it at all anymore, im 1 off

[tawdry halo]

Chat, where to get the most of these in OpSi? Me need for Helldiver

[hallow mountain]

i think it's random, unfortunately

might be wrong

[wind hazel]

save for biszwei

[tawdry halo]

like which uhh, Corrosion level have the most of those

[wind hazel]

you need to wait for it to rerun on dossier, no way to get it currently

[hallow mountain]

ah i see, that i don't know

alo im pretty sure helldrivers can be acquired in the tech boxes though

if you have a lot of purple i think you cn get one

[wind hazel]

yes dont craft from gear lab lol

[tawdry halo]

I havent gotten any Helldivers from ~120 purple US crates

(I need one for Saratoga to complete double Helldiver)

[paper ore]

if you have a strong crossfleet barrage fleet to help you kill mobs with a 1-1 fleet you COULD farm 3-2 for helldiver prints

it also drops from 11-4

[soft raft]

dont bother farming campaign for gear

[tawdry halo]

I could farm 3-2 on with just Nimi and Nelson (both are at lv125)

[paper ore]

my go to for farming 3-4 for the foxes was 1 fleet with 6 crossfleet barrage ships and a lvl 70 cassin and nevada with only 1* no limit break. oil cost is 4 per fight

if the oil cost is upwards of 10 or so I wouldnt grind it since it will add up

[idle orbit]

-do I have to play the whole event to get Brs and Dm?
-Will there be a rerun of Brs and Dm skin?
Last time I played was almost 6 years ago I'm literally so lost right now sry

[solar lily]

yo chat, is there a stage i could farm for exp

[kind slate]

is this fleet fine for opsi BB fleet? im thinking of adding traf/laffey/z52, but not sure where

[soft raft]

-you essentially get DM for free and you just need to grind enough to unlock BRs
-Who knows

[viscid swift]

yes it's fine

[soft raft]

12-1/12-4 are the more popular spots but as long as it's W9 or above it's fine since oil cap exists

[solar lily]

mmm alright

[viscid swift]

literally 3 runs of 12-1 is enough to get Dead Master

[tawdry halo]

So anyway, should I farm 3-2 to get Helldiver prints

[kind slate]

who has the strongest cross-fleet skills?

[soft raft]

/crossfleet

[odd root]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/images/equip_misc/Cross-fleet_Effects.jpeg

[viscid swift]

no

[solar lily]

you dont have helldivers in abundance?

[tawdry halo]

I need 1 more to complete the format, but I lack 4 prints

[soft raft]

dont bother farming campaign for gear

[tawdry halo]

Pain, I guess Saratoga's sticking with Firefly and Helldiver for a while now, instead of 2 Helldiver

[solar lily]

the firefly? you mean the thing from core data

[tawdry halo]

Implacable bomber

[solar lily]

which one was that

[paper ore]

~~ 2 fireflies. one can be converted into wyvern~~
nvm im dumb. the other is firebrand

[tawdry halo]

1771 Firefly

[bright glen]

Should I use 550 Triple Torp Launcher instead of 533 Triple Mag on Anchorage?

[solar lily]

huh

[wind hazel]

whichever that has lower rld

[deft kettle]

trash?

[soft raft]

Tech fodder (iirc CA FP) and collection only respectively

[deft kettle]

wut

[wind hazel]

it means they are not that great

[solar lily]

damn no special skills either

[wind hazel]

[normal cedar]

I've been pulling daily 1 build* light ww (yat sen and aurora) for 2 weeks now, got none of them yet
should I do more pulls per day in the last few days of ww now? I have ~900 cubes rn

[soft raft]

just keep doing 1 pull
WW is just perament pool but you get the option to select 2 rateup so it is what it is

[normal cedar]

ok, thanks

[sweet delta]

I would spend 100 cubes for Aurora

[sharp socket]

small agir is good tank for new player right

[wind hazel]

right

[atomic abyss]

Port level ye

[oblique kraken]

What is the most effecient way to level ships?

[wind hazel]

sortie them at oil capped maps

[wet badge]

Best spec core grind map?

[quick grotto]

Does Neptune make a better mob tank than Portland generally?

[wind hazel]

none just grind normally, w12 or 13, whatever is your norm

[little tree]

Neptune has the benefit of useful skills and more eva

[teal cedar]

yo is glorious meta worth getting

[turbid marsh]

doesn't take dock space, one more collection, cv reload tech (very good), good damage as a gold cv against heavy... really up to what you already have.

[raven canyon]

if i have to choose which one out of these 3 would be the best

[late osprey]

Do META Crystals have any other use outside of Somatic Activation i.e. Limit Breaking META ships?

[last zenith]

When you obtain excess copies of event META ships, these are converted into META Crystal Fragments which can be used in the META Shop

[upper fossil]

How on earth do I play SP and EX stage

[turbid marsh]

click on b3 ---> hard mode to D3, clear that, then you get it unlocked

[cobalt oak]

any equipment recommend for this fleet guys ? 15-3 15-4 lethal auto

[viscid swift]

this can only end well

anyway, pretty standard gear for campaign

[last zenith]

standard is fine

[cobalt oak]

which one is standard, ve been brain dead auto for years

[cobalt rapids]

/campaign

[cobalt oak]

[paper ore]

im a bit surprised you got to 15-3 without knowing what was standard XD

[turbid marsh]

15-1 15-2 easy, just stack those aa radar with some rainbow aa gun should be fine XD

[cobalt oak]

some try hard player saw my dock and rcm this fleet but not told me about gears since he's lazy

[turbid marsh]

oh he rcm unzen eh?

eh, whatever works works

[cobalt oak]

he did say this fleet works fine, only the gears problem

[viscid swift]

ehh, Unzen wouldn't be my first choicebut whatever

[turbid marsh]

so which fleet deals with mob the most? musashi?

[paper ore]

I didnt have volga when I cleared 15-4. so I ran musashi with aquila and unicorn. she was my mob fleet as well as 1st and 3rd boss killer

[paper ore]

yeah musashi

[turbid marsh]

i meant to ask him XD

[paper ore]

it should be the same for him too

[cobalt oak]

mssh boss, bis mob

[storm olive]

Eldkai tanking w15 boss

[paper ore]

you have guam right

use her as a tank instead of eldridge

[cobalt oak]

i mean i don't know why before the event, this fleet works pretty well, i didn't swap any gear too, but now they just bruh

[storm olive]

I'd also replace volga with actual damage

[turbid marsh]

cause i was very confused, i see volga, but i also see z52+eldkai, then i also see unicorn with bisz, so i wasn't too sure which one was mob for him XD

[storm olive]

15-3 is where the difficulty spike is so no wonder

[cobalt oak]

bis mob musashi boss, i did remember that the second phase boss is pretty dangerous so i do manual, the mob fleet also fine but now

[paper ore]

ayye. nice. almost there

[turbid marsh]

then i would suggest you to remake at least the frontlines XD

[nova burrow]

What does actually work against kirov meta? My fleet that ususaly gets ~60% down on other showdowns (on auto) barely putting a dent in her (over the full time because they dont take dmg either....)

[viscid swift]

Well for one are you using HE guns on your BBs and such

[nova burrow]

Well both

Oh wait she has light armor, right?

[viscid swift]

yes

[nova burrow]

So i guess keep 2ap (1van 1main) for the support units and rest he?

[viscid swift]

what no, swap all of your Battleships to HE

[nova burrow]

But it says her adds are heavy and medium and boost her defence...

[viscid swift]

they're push overs, you won't have any trouble killing them and besides, Kirov is what you're actually trying to kill

[wheat ore]

should i start farming D3?

[wind oxide]

You've already got the imp stuff so it's your choice

[nova burrow]

Okey, i guess. Thanks

[lyric bramble]

good afternoon, I have a question. is it better to put an american torpedo bomber on Independence (I use Skypirate from gear lab) or a Wyvern? Independence has a 15% torpedo bomber slot buff if she uses an american aircraft...

[viscid swift]

Wyvern still

[lyric bramble]

thanks!

[eternal basalt]

Do you have all you want from the store, that's the important part

[elfin hollow]

I'm pretty limited, and I even have a Hedgehog Aux, could I use Lion for mob?

And maybe a DD with that Hedgehog aux for the boss? I’m not sure how tough the subs are in W14

[cobalt rapids]

theres no campaign boss with subs

[elfin hollow]

They lies to me LoL

Can lion carry mob against Subs?

[cobalt rapids]

subs are only in recon nodes in 14-3/14-4 and 15-3/15-4

[cobalt rapids]

possibly but put a hedge for safety

[elfin hollow]

CA DD CL or CA DD DD?

[cobalt rapids]

/campaign put good ships that fill the roles

Got it, ty

[stone sluice]

The 2 new ships don’t give any tech, right?

[cobalt rapids]

right

[turbid marsh]

collab = no tech XD

[fallow cape]

will i get Bismark oath skin if i oath Zwei instead of original Bismarck?

[cobalt rapids]

ull get bismarck oath skin on who you oath zwei or og

[fallow cape]

ty sir

[forest palm]

[hybrid pelican]

So after having used Unzen and Ibuki in Opsi quite a lot, I have encountered that Ibuki gets more damage, on average, than Unzen

[cobalt rapids]

her opening torp salvo is stronger than unzens

and opsi mob fights end in under 10s

[hybrid pelican]

Are there any opinions on Kawakaze yet? Preliminary at least? As a playable ship*

[cobalt rapids]

high gold dd

[hybrid pelican]

Not close to the likes of z52?

[cobalt rapids]

no

i mean not in total mby close in pers dmg under ideal scenario

[sharp comet]

is there anyone that farms 14-1 everyday?

[last zenith]

I just do 14-2

[sharp comet]

what is ur setup

[last zenith]

wdym. Just my normal fleets.

[sharp comet]

u dont lvl vanguard in 14?

[last zenith]

everything is easy up to 15

I can bring almost anything into world 14

[jaunty vault]

no it's not

[sharp comet]

lol

[last zenith]

with right gear, and big boing boings it is

what website is best for gear anyways.

[jaunty vault]

[last zenith]

what

[jaunty vault]

anyways

i dont do 14-1 farm but ihear you need uni+ UR mob BB

wouldn't recommend unless you have run out of main fleet to level

[last zenith]

for me personally best farm is 10-4.

jintsuuuuuuu is good

its manageable too

[split gazelle]

[jaunty vault]

what you personally think doesn't matter

[last zenith]

[tame jungle]

farming 10-4 is

why the fuck would you gimp yourself like that

[last zenith]

I was bored.

and I wanted jintsuu

[sharp comet]

the chinese never fail

[last zenith]

hmmmm

[low juniper]

What gear should I give Cleopatra?

[viscid swift]

copy another CL with DD main guns, nothing unusual

[low juniper]

Copy another CL?

Like just put the same gear?

[viscid swift]

yes

[low juniper]

Why not the UR CL gun

The proto quad 152

[viscid swift]

because DD guns have higher DPS

[low juniper]

Which one then

[viscid swift]

the usual suspects really

[low juniper]

It's been a while since I geared and asked for help in this channel so I don't remember what the usual suspects are

[viscid swift]

whatever you have equiped on your DDs that don't use fast guns like Shima, Z52, etc and CLs that use DD guns, that's what you use on Cleo

[fickle parcel]

If I set a secretary in first position my self, and then toggle on random secretary rotation, does my manually selected secretary still gain affection in the background?

In that case, does only the randomized first position secretary gain affection in the randomizer?

[viscid swift]

no
