[viscid swift]

it's basically a weighted average of the cooldown of the aircraft you have equipped scaled with reload stat

[soft raft]

It wouldn't be a high priority for your coins but you could do it for the fun of it later on if you want

And Fate sim is the only way for research ships to get LCK stat outside of equipping hyper niche gear

[clear harbor]

Ohhhh. Reload is probably why it takes 2x as long as I would have thought.

[thorny sky]

do you have any recommended fleets for operation siren?

[zinc turret]

I do spend coin till she maxed and do her catchup so i can analise 300 bp lol

[zinc flower]

Im kinda broke so i'll focus on coining hakuryuu instead

[zinc turret]

Lol both of them have different rarity u can coin them in same time , just coin everyday whatever u can afford , like 10 each both per day or maybe even 7 if u that broke

[clear harbor]

Does AVI scale bomb damage at all?

[viscid swift]

yes

[zinc turret]

7 a day for anchorage is just 1200 coin

[clear harbor]

My bad. I just read the tool tip. 😞

[zinc flower]

I can't analyze bps until im done with fate sim right?

[zinc turret]

Yea pretty much

Even for the ship that didnt have fs yet lol

[zinc flower]

Wait fr? So i can't analyze agïr's bps for example?

[zinc turret]

Yea till u have enough bp to fs her

If u check the reserve bp for save

Cant click the agir cuz i dont have enough to max her fs yet

[zinc flower]

Can't you just analyze if you uncheck it?

[tame jungle]

yes you can analyze if you uncheck it

[zinc flower]

But that's only for units that don't have a fate sim yet right?

Like i can't uncheck it and analyze anchorage's bps when i haven't done her fate sim yet

[frank bloom]

says at bottom. after reaching dev30, excess can be analysed

[frank bloom]

don't need to finish fate sim to analyse extra prints greater than the needed amount for dev30

[zenith pebble]

where would i get the admirality fire control table now?

[tame jungle]

by waiting for it to become permanently available

[zenith pebble]

what are the chances?

[left cedar]

not sure how they will add that ...
cuz others UR Gears got add to GearLab

[tame jungle]

somewhere inbetween 0% and 100%

[zenith pebble]

👍

[left cedar]

and no Auxs in GearLab ...

[tame jungle]

might be added to fucking core data shop or something, oxytorp is in there afterall

[pseudo hearth]

Is there a doc somewhere that has stats for all the ghost equipment (ghost guns, ghost AA guns, etc.)?

[vale spindle]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Damage_Calculations#Ghost_AA_Guns ghost aa guns are listed here although it hasn't been updated in a bit

[pseudo hearth]

What about ghost guns?

[fallen jay]

Still haven’t gotten her

[zinc turret]

get her asap or u will have to wait like 2 years if u missed the event

[lyric stump]

We have idea on new meta fleet?

[atomic abyss]

Nope

🔮 says

Lion Soy Nakhi

[sweet delta]

i think soy nakhi is unnecessary to freeze for only 1 salvo

[slow fox]

if it isn't suchimisinformation

[fallen jay]

Update: I just got her!

So now that I have her what do I do next? I doubt I’ll be able to save up enough to limit break her before the event ends. I keep running out of oil and coins

Do I use her in my fleet now that I have her?

Hello?

[clear harbor]

If I'm comparing two guns with comparable damage, is there any reason why I'd want one with some amount of spread vs. zero?

[fallen jay]

@atomic abyss Should I focus on leveling up Trafalgar?

[atomic abyss]

Focus no

It's a future investment

[fallen jay]

Alright so what else can I do to get more trp so I can do the Hardmode in the event?

[atomic abyss]

Outside of the recommendations you were already given?

[sweet delta]

For the third time, why do you want to do C1

[fallen jay]

Because I’m not strong enough to do any of the higher difficulties of hard mode yet?

[fallen jay]

Yeah. I’m not having any luck finding torpedoes to give to my starter

[atomic abyss]

Then just stick to B3

[fallen jay]

Oh…Alright then. Should I push mom into campaign first actually? Cause my team is super overleveled for it

[atomic abyss]

No

You'll want to get as much out of the event shop

As possible

[sweet delta]

Lower spread is better

[fallen jay]

I have 2 of the wing medals left now. Should I just save up the emblems and try to get the main rainbow colored gun?

[lyric stump]

Who is that

[atomic abyss]

Yes
Focus on getting the rainbow gun now

[lyric stump]

Idea on rumey bis lion

[atomic abyss]

We have no way of knowing anyways

[sweet delta]

What's Bisz good for

[lyric stump]

True few more days

[lyric stump]

Black hole + buff rumey

[sweet delta]

15% FP for fritz

[lyric stump]

No avi?

I remember also avi buff

[sweet delta]

Black hole good for 1/4 salvos

[lyric stump]

Ig also for rumey planes if sync

[sweet delta]

Against extremely high evasion bosses, would confetti gun help Duke apply her debuff with higher probability?

[lyric stump]

Duke? Doy?

[fallen jay]

Do you guys know how many emblems I need to get 300 wings to buy another copy of Trafalgar?

[soft raft]

300 * 150 = 45,000

[dense halo]

the prio order for the event shop is trafalgar>gun>glorious meta>rest, right?

[woven star]

Gun first

Not sure is it worth to buy meta if you can't mlb in time

Just farm D3 or B3 until she drops. Much cheaper than buyout

[soft raft]

Gun > 200 voucher copy of Trafalgar > Glorious META (1st copy) and/or the crystals > 300 voucher copy of Trafalgar

Tho it is worth noting that Glorious META's crystals will be added to the META shop a few weeks later

[full plank]

gimme ships for fleet 2

[woven star]

For second copy of Traf you'll need buy 75 emblems if you did all dailies for them

[full plank]

fleet 1 works good i need a second one too tho

fleet 1 will be boss

[tame jungle]

what campaign chapter are you at

[soft raft]

You look nowhere ready for a 2nd fleet

[full plank]

6 soon 7 i can solo with first fleet for now

[tame jungle]

ask when you are at 10

[soft raft]

And before you say "but Im running out of ammo", no you can continue to fight at 0 ammo

[full plank]

dont underestimate a bee swarm player

[lyric stump]

I aint getting 300 ver cause i have enough bullins

[dense halo]

yea i wont be able to to get a second copy of her, started playing 5/6

[full plank]

ik i just heard 2 fleets is good
1 boss 1 mob fleet

[tame jungle]

after chapter 9

you don't need a 2nd fleet right now

[soft raft]

thats when you have enough good ships
which you clearly dont have right now

[woven star]

Every day until 11th you'll get at least 10 emblems. So just count what left

[tame jungle]

you think a guy with a 3 day old account can clear SP?

[woven star]

5 SP and 5 daily

[full plank]

ye im gonna save up for event

[vale spindle]

what if he started on may 6th

[tame jungle]

not real

[dense halo]

yep
i cant

[paper ore]

Then May the 4th be with him

[dense halo]

cant even enter SP

[vale spindle]

yea cause u need to clear d3 first

[woven star]

Oh. I think he is comeback

[vale spindle]

and unless you somehow have a full team of level 100+ ships you can't even do that

due to stat and level requirements

[soft raft]

[woven star]

[light prawn]

who should i awakening next?

[fallen jay]

Would I have enough time right now to grind for that?

[soft raft]

How's the new Gear lab stuff? Mainly curious about the DD Gun, gold plane, and the skip bomber

[pseudo hearth]

Is it still difficult to do W15 with IB only fleets? Or have their ships in the past few years made it much easier?

[lyric stump]

Its good idea but not strong not meta

[weary gust]

Anything is possible if you manual.

[lyric stump]

I think possible to test out mechenism

The bomber super accurate with special dispersion

[viscid swift]

DD Gun is bad, it's worse than the Tashkent gun against light and medium armor only beating it against heavy but it also has a relatively long reload time
The skip Bomber is about on par with the Fairey 1771 for damage

[soft raft]

Moment

[void walrus]

would it be any good on kitikaze Kitakaze?

[viscid swift]

not really no

[soft raft]

The Twin 100mm Kai is right there as well

[void walrus]

I don't like playing op-si, but I get your point.

[jovial jackal]

Any guide on farming coins?

[tropic tusk]

12-1 or 12-4

[soft raft]

12-1 or 12-4
if not possible, anywhere W9+
if even that isnt possible, the highest stage you can comftorably clear

[trim otter]

Whats best kit to put on Black rock shooter

[ornate narwhal]

What is fate simulation?

[ivory pawn]

When certain Shipyard ships reach dev30, some of them get access to 5 bonus levels that give some Luck and a skill upgrade, or 2 skill upgrades if UR.

[viscid swift]

yes

[ornate narwhal]

Who has it?

[ivory pawn]

All PR (gold rarity) ships up to PR6, and all DR (UR) ships up to PR3, plus Hakuryuu.

[soft raft]

Typical BB gear

[balmy skiff]

Best Gear setup for Lion?

[ivory pawn]

Typical BB gear.

[balmy skiff]

sorry for askin' but how the heck did he got banned?

[balmy skiff]

shall i use Lion Gun on her?

[harsh gust]

mod magic

[ivory pawn]

Sure. One of the best options vs Light, so one of the best options in campaign pre-w13 too.

[dreamy blade]

most of the pr 1-4 ships (except agir) and shimanto

[rotund quest]

Yo guys- what stage is best to farm coins on with high oil cons. The max stage im on rn is 10-1

[dreamy blade]

and the pr5 ships except ply and brest i think

[ivory pawn]

And Felix. And Flandre.

[soft raft]

Currently veryone except Agir, Brest, Plymouth, Kear, Hindenburg, and all of PR7 has fate sims

[ivory pawn]

[ivory pawn]

For you, 10-1. Or 9-4 is also good if you haven't cleared 10-1 yet. Most people park in 12-1 or 12-4 for a long, long time.

[strange path]

if you have a lot of oil it doesnt matter the coins per oil will differ very little, as long as you can put it on auto it's fine

[jovial jackal]

It's worth the 10h comissions or is better to spend the oil in chapter/events?

[soft raft]

if you mean the one that costs 1.2k oil, no not really

[topaz elm]

Should i pull for this? I just got Lion

[soft raft]

not with that cube count

[topaz elm]

Oh

[soft raft]

go back to 1 light pull per day

or alternatively you could've set your wishing well to light pool ships to do your daily light pull there

[topaz elm]

Ok sir

[soft raft]

(You cant change your selection now but now you know for future ones)

[topaz elm]

Thanks sir

[topaz elm]

How many cubes do i need sir?

[ivory pawn]

Enough to pity a UR at least, 400. Preferably more in case you need to pity two in a row.

[soft raft]

At least 400 (since that's the # needed for pity)
but I generally dont really reccomend it unless you have like maybe at least 600 ish

[topaz elm]

That's too much sir

[soft raft]

The heavy and special pools are part of event pools anyways so you're not missing out much

[topaz elm]

How to get more cubes? Except for dailies or weeklies?

[jovial jackal]

Comissions, daily login, new player rewards

[soft raft]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/common_resource#currency

TLDR you're guarenteed 168 cubes per month off of daily missions, weekly missions, and daily login alone

And it can be more depending on comission RNG and/or occasional freebies

[topaz elm]

Dang sir

[rotund quest]

Thx

[wary skiff]

is there a big difference bn ship lvl 125 and 120, wondering if i should get chkalov to 125 since i dont have soyuz

[forest palm]

in terms of stats, no, it does affect level advantage though as for every level there's a 2% difference capping out at 50%

so Lv 125 is definitely more helpful for stuff like Meta, World 14, and World 15

[sinful fern]

Guys is lion worth building as a newbie

[forest palm]

unless you can MLB Lion she's gonna be a bit on the weaker side due to a lack of stats, and so on from not being MLB

[sinful fern]

What does mlb mean?

[forest palm]

Max Limit Break

[jovial jackal]

a newbie should get enough bulins to MLB her

[cobalt gate]

especially with the new medal shop specialized

[forest palm]

it's entirely possible yes, and Lion is one of the strongest BBs in the game right now

[cobalt gate]

i think strongest pure dps wise

[jovial jackal]

I've started last month and got enough to get her and Traf to MLB

[sinful fern]

What do i need to mlb her? Another copy of her?

[forest palm]

the UR Bulins will do you don't need copies of her

[jovial jackal]

A copy or a UR Bulin

[sinful fern]

How do i get a ur bulin?

[blazing lynx]

guys please help im new 😭

[jovial jackal]

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

[forest palm]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/common_resource#bulins

[blazing lynx]

is there a newbie tips i can watch or read?

[forest palm]

what Fischer posted should be good enough

[sinful fern]

How can i get an outfit rental ticket?

[soft raft]

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

[soft raft]

the game gives you them for free when a event happens

[sinful fern]

It goes in the mail or i have to buy them in the event shop?

[fleet berry]

Still got confused on AB. The wiki said,

Most Armor Break debuffs can only be applied to Heavy Armor targets, which include most Battleships and some Battlecruisers.
The table below that said that generic AP gun AB has an AB ID of 401, but it applies to Heavy armour only. Tenrai and Guam's AB ID is also 401, without the 'heavy armour-only' tag. Does Tenrai and Guam's AB affect all armour then, even with the same ID as AP gun?

[soft raft]

no and no
I just told you the game gives them for free 💀

And you can see how many you have when you go to the skin rental tab in the skin shop

[sinful fern]

Yeah i get it but does it mean new even comes and you just automatically get one for free

[soft raft]

yes
and they then go away when said event leaves

you dont get to accumulate rental tickets

[sinful fern]

Is trafalgar good?

[turbid marsh]

Yes. Can check explanation in endgame excel

[stone cradle]

Is lion gun 20sec?

[vale spindle]

yes

[stone cradle]

thank you I was literally looking at your great guide while asking this lol

[sinful fern]

How do i know which type of ship should be placed where in a fleet?

[lyric stump]

Do we have opsi mob team document?

[vale spindle]

need to add the recent equipment though

[harsh gust]

if ships don't have any special skills that require them to be in a specific position, it depends on their tankiness
for frontline as a general rule you want your most tanky ship to be in the first place and least tanky in the middle

for backline it's a bit more tricky cos it depends on barrage patterns

[sinful fern]

So rn i have lion and amagi cv who should i place in the golsen square slot?

[soft raft]

Unicorn + 5 others
OpSi mob is comically easy unless you're trying to one-fleet the harder content with it

in which case Unicorn + 5 UR/DRs that can survive a stronghold run solo

[sharp socket]

lion because amagi cv wants to be further away from the enemy

[lyric stump]

Tysm

[harsh gust]

lion should be flagship

[lyric stump]

Do we hav speed run ones?

[soft raft]

to some extent yea
tho i dont remember any specifics off the top of my head besides Unicorn retro + Aquila (Preload mode)

[lyric stump]

O

Ty

[rigid onyx]

think it's Percy bearnm lion wata ibuki harbin

Lion with slow gun you just want the barrage special burn pseudo barrage thing and never to fire a salvo

[stark quiver]

Damn my chat loaded for too long

[soft raft]

what

[sinful fern]

So further away from the enemy where should she be placed?

[soft raft]

IE not on the flagship spot
the other two spots next to it dont really matter positioning wise

[keen cove]

is it alright to equip the Prototype Triple 406mm MK.II Main Gun Mount (which is the one that can be obtained from event supply) on New Jersey? Since I don't have the Triple 406mm mk7 main gun for her

[soft raft]

It's overall better than NJ gun and it's not like NJ specifically needs her own gun to function properly

[keen cove]

well that is best for lion but I equiped it on NJ instead if that's fine I guess?

[inner delta]

that is not best for lion, that gun is best for light armor enemy

[soft raft]

^

if a UR's respective weapon was really the best equip, Musashi's Triple 460 wouldnt be collecting dust

[keen cove]

mhm aighttt

[wintry edge]

hello, any beginner guide? for new player

[viscid swift]

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

[sinful fern]

Is there a limited amount of gems you can get in the game or it is replenishable?

[viscid swift]

If you pay you can get as many gems as you like

/gems

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Gem Spending 101

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[wintry edge]

thanks

[nova halo]

are there any OPS expansions in the future?

[wind oxide]

no

[atomic abyss]

Nothing announced at least

[cobalt gate]

What is best opsi team if I’m just making 1 boss fleet and then 2 fleet with cross fleet?

[paper ore]

it would change according to every months hard arbiter I reckon

[forest palm]

I don't expect people to one shot Hard Arbiter either

well normally anyway

[cobalt gate]

this is my current, but not sure if i can improve anything

[undone saffron]

Any suggestions? Im stuck with what to do for my second fleet

[undone saffron]

Same problem but goddamn yours is beautiful

[plucky ice]

Which is better to use perseus or unicorn

[slow fox]

Brest

[cobalt gate]

well this is pretty much endgame

[undone saffron]

Shesh could you give me tips on my fleet? My main is i think okay my second thou

My second can barely keep up

[wind hazel]

flag your hood, keep using fleet 1, forget about fleet 2 for now

[undone saffron]

Okay main question does ammo matter?

[cobalt gate]

well nevada meta do you have the limit broken crystals? or its staying like that? although probably can be replaced with nelson. priority is always to retrofit unicorn, then can do portland. also any other ships you have for 2nd fleet

[wind hazel]

a little, out of ammo is a 50% penalty, but it shouldn't make the fleet fail if it's adequately leveled and geared

[undone saffron]

Thank you🙏🙏🙏

[cobalt gate]

ammo type of guns? it does depending on hull type of enemy / bosses

[stark quiver]

You can

[undone saffron]

Tysm ill use that

[cobalt gate]

teach me please @stark quiver

[stark quiver]

Where is lion, Plymouth in the bb fleet?
Z52 could probably tank

[wind hazel]

plymouth?

[cobalt gate]

just finished lvling lion with my training fleet, how does her cross fleet work in opsi anyway?

[stark quiver]

Lion replaces soyuz, don’t really need eld in cv fleet unless high vg pressure, so just put Guam if you like to keep concealment

Shi I said cv 💀

[wind hazel]

[orchid scarab]

Man I wish I used nelson instead of Nevada, I spent a lot of oil🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅 trying to level her up😔

[cobalt gate]

also is a cv fleet or bb fleet usually better as a boss fleet?

[wind hazel]

this month, CV

[stark quiver]

Cv have higher damage ceiling, but require more investment

Anyways,
Z52 tank, traff, ply for bb fleet, lion replaces soyu
Guam tank for cv fleet replaces eld

[cobalt gate]

is it usually cv?

[stark quiver]

Or mixed fleet is also good

[wind hazel]

wonder if bb with lion can contest at med or not

[wind oxide]

fritz : Finally a worthy opponent

[cobalt gate]

so if lion replaces soyu, where would soyu go? since her cross fleet is good

[wind hazel]

crossfleet

[wind oxide]

She's underdog

[cobalt gate]

is lion cross fleet still 3 battles in opsi?

[stark quiver]

Fleet 4

[wind hazel]

think so but i dont think it would matter at arbiter

[cobalt gate]

to be honest its to make it better for grinding, arb is fine basically throwing 3 teams at it

[wind hazel]

grinding...

the mobs die from preload before the crossfleet can come out

[random summit]

Is this gear already suitable for Trafalgar?

[stark quiver]

No

[cobalt gate]

dd doesn't really need the hydro, also better aa gun like the disk or rainbow ones

use a toolbox

[stark quiver]

Run single 76 for main gun
Goldburn if you have it, and a hp aux

[random summit]

Iris gun?

[cobalt gate]

the blue gun

[random summit]

I don't have goldburn

Like this?

[wary skiff]

Which ones are the good aa guns lol

[cobalt gate]

umm probably use the aa gun from before if thats the only other choice, this aa is pretty much for backline

[stark quiver]

First 2 rows,
First second and 5th gun or third row

[wind hazel]

following a picture is too hard nowadays?

[wary skiff]

oh i didnt even see yours

[wind hazel]

not you

[random summit]

Yeah thats too hard🗿

[wind hazel]

ok i'll login into your account and set it up for you 👍🏼

[zenith peak]

Does OpSi count towards the event or is it exclusive to campaign/event?

[random summit]

But my account isn't binded

[cobalt gate]

for the points you have to farm chapters and event, for the destroy enemy opsi count

[serene moth]

You should bind it

[zenith peak]

Tnx

[serene moth]

Its a accident waiting to happen

[random summit]

It's okay, it's not my main account

[serene moth]

You do you

[cobalt gate]

@stark quiver so this is the best right?

[verbal thistle]

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

Is this still a reliable source or ?

[wind hazel]

after you work on traf and 52 level, yeah

[atomic abyss]

Outdated tierlist that works for the early game
Not relevant for any difficult content

[verbal thistle]

Could I still use it for deciding if ships are good/bad?

[cobalt gate]

should i replace implacable with fritz?

[random summit]

Why not use ijn cv trio?

[cobalt gate]

trying to max out cross fleet benefit and thats what they were recommending

[stark quiver]

Do you care about mob fleet clear time

[cobalt gate]

would be helpful to have

[stark quiver]

Wait wtf where did Shinanongo

[cobalt gate]

oh removed her since you said soyu for 4th fleet

[stark quiver]

I mean in fleet 1 then, if that’s your whatever cross fleet fleet

[cobalt gate]

oh thats fleet 2

[gray grove]

Whats the best way to level up ships as fast as possible? Other than just including them in dorms

[wind hazel]

💀 i thought soyuz was shinano

[cobalt gate]

wait then who does she replace

[random summit]

Grinding in map 8+

[stark quiver]

Preload cvs, I think Luna/perseus, indep, Aquila isn’t bad
Unzen/jintM/shima(don’t make shima tank) , ibuki, hinden is fine

[wind hazel]

basically keep bb and cv fleet, the rest is whatever you can fit. can put soyuz to mob fleet if you wanna keep sushi uvh indep

or replace uvh with soyuz

[gray grove]

Like include 2 under leveled ships with others being strong?

[cobalt gate]

i see , also no restriction on lion cross fleet for opsi right

[gray grove]

If i entered a stage with 2 fleets and if i only fight with 1 fleet does my second fleet get XP?

[cobalt gate]

no

[clear harbor]

I have Raff (5 star), Lion (5 star), and Trafalgar (3 star, but will likely be able to buy a second copy). I have two Specialized Bullin and enough specialized cores for 4 more bullin. Do I MLB all three? Or do I save my cores in case I pull another UR later? For what it's worth, I'm looking for a new DD and BB as my current ones are close to level 120.

[cobalt gate]

if you are new, the beignner missons give out a lot of exp book now, also a lot from the beach event exchangable

[gray grove]

From advice i heared here someone asked a similar question its better to save cores

[cobalt gate]

i wish they gave out more cogs to be honest instead of some of hte things

[wind hazel]

mlb lion, save for zwei if you don't have her

[gray grove]

I need to work on my zwei then dam

[cobalt gate]

lion priority, raff is fine if you using her for mob fleet,

buy all specialized from medal

[clear harbor]

Yeah, raff has been fine at my level for farming. Admittedly I got excited when I pulled Raff and spent the two bulins I had on her not knowing when I would get another UR.

[wind hazel]

tbh you should be good limit breaking both lion and raff now if you want to

by the time zwei rerun you will have enough to mlb her as well with our current specialized core amount given

[cobalt gate]

i'm begging for rerun soon, i need cogs

[topaz smelt]

does cn have any comps for kawa yet?

[wind oxide]

https://youtu.be/cJR6dk4gync?si=sUDERSIi76CL79Ee

this guy did one

[clear harbor]

Question about buying gems. So players get a 2x bonus one whatever gem pack they buy for the first time? Like, just the first time purchase?

[topaz smelt]

ew helena

[wind hazel]

the bonus resets every anniversary

[clear harbor]

Ohhhhh, interesting.

When's that?

[topaz smelt]

seems to be standard expected comps

[wind oxide]

lol

[cobalt gate]

Just wait for cn to reach lvl 15

[topaz smelt]

the chase goal for this meta is gonna be helena-less and eld-less comps

[wind oxide]

ply and traf?

[cobalt gate]

i mean usually will be eldless for the extra bit of dmg

[topaz smelt]

the fight is pretty much an eld check so far

or you rush 3 strikes with helena cope

[wind hazel]

august

[topaz smelt]

pretty much everything dies by 10s without eld

[clear harbor]

And help me "check my math." Without the bonus, 20 USD gets me 1200 gems, which is about the cost of a skin. So skins are ~20 USD each, less if I factor in the 2x bonus and that they cost less than 1200 gems. I know this may seem obvious, but I just want to check before I actually spend money.

[wind hazel]

the most valuable gem purchase is the biggest pack there

[wind oxide]

Kawa's movement really fast so yea

[cobalt gate]

also the skin packages if you bought the 2x already

[clear harbor]

Skin packages?

[stark quiver]

You’re gonna run eld + tank or eld +52

[topaz smelt]

z52 isnt stable iirc

its prob guam

[wind oxide]

he adds napoli too

[topaz smelt]

napoli works but no upsides

[fleet berry]

Guam for AB?

[topaz smelt]

ab and manjuu holder

[fleet berry]

Was gonna ask you, is her AB not hull-restricted? Also I totally forgot about Manjuu.

[topaz smelt]

wdym by hull restricted?

ab only works on shelling dmg

[fleet berry]

I thought that AB only works on heavy-armour only.

[topaz smelt]

heavy only ab is skill dependent, which is not guams

[clear harbor]

There are skin packages?

[dreamy blade]

Ab will specify that like musashis being extra effective vs heavy

[cobalt gate]

Shop Akashi recommended

[topaz smelt]

sashi isnt ab

[wind oxide]

What's an AB?

[topaz smelt]

armor break

[fleet berry]

I got caught off by the AB ID, since Guam's and AP gun AB ID is the same :)))). But I just realised that AB ID =! characteristics. A bit of brain fart there.

[dreamy blade]

Oh right I always get that confused

[topaz smelt]

same ids will apply the same debuff, iirc 400 is heavy ab which just targets heavy armor and gives it 401, and 401 is ab

[gray grove]

I have both , whats the play here

[wind hazel]

both mlb?

[topaz smelt]

lb fodder, secretary showcase, scrap, or save for a rainy day

[wind oxide]

Lion's DOT stat is still not on wiki

[gray grove]

Nope

[atomic abyss]

Shinano then

Use it to limit break

[orchid scarab]

Is she good? I just got her

[dreamy blade]

Good for a gold bb

[orchid scarab]

aight, i just saw her archives, double s is insane

[wind hazel]

huh

[tame jungle]

i think he means the radar chart

if that's the case, no the radar chart doesn't mean anything

[wind hazel]

oh that, don't be mislead by it. it doesn't really paint the whole picture of a ship's strength

[orchid scarab]

oh

[stark quiver]

You can go to #wiki-feedback and tell them
maybe someone ,not me will do it

[tame jungle]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/barrages/id/151220?selected=0 check this

[left wasp]

If I'm making a heavy CV fleet who should I use over Sirius
since sirius is more for light armor

cuz judging from what I've seen people post for fleets, Z52 seems to be a general support option

[stark quiver]

Sirius is for all armor cuz of her buff
But unzen also a replacement

[wind hazel]

[fleet berry]

Kazagumo, because she has ARA and her torp can be buffed by Amagi CV.

[wind hazel]

the question is assuming kazagumo isn't getting replaced, i'm sure

[left wasp]

yeah she ain't
cuz she can't stack with Kearsage's ARA so she can't be used in that one

should've clarified my previous CVL fleet was Kearsage/Enty/Yorktown II

and this current one is using CV Amagi/Shinano/Implacable

[wind hazel]

sirius, z52, helena, whichever works

[dreamy blade]

sirius or unzen

i use z52 kaza sirius for ijn cv fleet

[weary oar]

are these custom made images or generated from somewhere?

[stark quiver]

They’re from a website

[wind hazel]

https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

[verbal torrent]

guys should i max out my bristol or magdeburg first

[wind hazel]

if you're new, neither

[verbal torrent]

well

[verbal torrent]

then what should i do

[wind hazel]

raise better ships

[fleet berry]

Yeah, seems like Z52 or Traf can fill her use case. At least Kaza is permanently available, unlike the others.

[verbal torrent]

like who

[wind hazel]

idk what you have

[wind hazel]

go buy helena from guild shop, use agir helena laffey for vanguard, remove the rest

[verbal torrent]

okay

[wind hazel]

your backline need fixing too. buy unicorn as well

[verbal torrent]

okay

i have unicorn

[warm bloom]

is there a guide or how to efficiently farming gear lab stuff? i played AL and until now i never touches the op siren lol or even use any META's Ship

[vale spindle]

basically in opsi, if a zone has an icon above it, do it
repeat until all zones don't have icons on them then come back

[wind hazel]

https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/newbie_tips read the rest here

[dreamy blade]

theres not really a trick to opsi, just clear the map with priority on strongholds (the red whirlpools) and abyssals (red icons above a zone)

[hushed sorrel]

you basically try to scout the whole map in operation siren and that unlocks better items in the shop

[fleet berry]

Adding to others, the early story part of OpSI is seriously a PITA. I'll allocate a day or two until you can unlock Ch5. Just chase story zones until you unlock the Arbiter (middle part of OpSi map). If you're stuck due to puzzle, you can find guides in YT, or just move back and forth until TB offers to solve the puzzle for you.

[dreamy blade]

the large majority of mats are going to be from abyssals/strongholds and normal arbiter (and you dont even have to 100% kill it, partial progress still has rewards), and buying from the port shops

ig the only "trick" is to make sure your mob fleet has 2 of your highest level gold rarity cats bc the meowficcer search nodes also have good rewards

[verbal torrent]

thanks

[tiny prism]

Hi, regarding the Operation Siren, do we have any website that listed the solution to the puzzle level? I've failed at least 15 times to pass, but still stuck there and cannot continue with the Operation Siren.

[dreamy blade]

just keep moving 1 tile back and forth and it will offer to skip the puzzle for you

[tiny prism]

hmm, okay, let me try.

[warm bloom]

does the opsi affects the shipgirls fatigues?

[zinc cave]

unaffected

[dreamy blade]

no

[elfin hollow]

what do i buy from guild shop after helena and uni

this is second day

[warm bloom]

so we can just whack anything without worried the fatigues whatsoever?

[dreamy blade]

yes

you dont lose morale but your ships also still get the xp bonus for being 120+ morale

[wind hazel]

scroll up a bit, check samheart's link

[warm bloom]

[left wasp]

hmm meh
I use dorm to level ships usually since I'm still not done with the opsi story yet (chp. 3 rn)
mainly cuz its slow and you have to do the story missions before you can really get into farming it

[stark quiver]

You can probably finish the story in a day

[warm bloom]

do i need to be careful bringing ships for the opsi or anything strong just put in 1 fleet and yeet?

[left wasp]

welp idk what to say since it feels longer than that despite be breezing through the missions
I think its cuz I have to do the "normal gameplay" sections and clear the areas before getting back into the story sections

[left wasp]

well you need at least 4 fleets
1 mob and 3 boss

but if you can only bring 2 fleets then keep doing story

[stark quiver]

If you are new, just bring your best and pray it lives

[left wasp]

I believe the boss fleets should be BB, CV, and I'm unsure for the third one since I don't think torp fleets are used much nowadays

[stark quiver]

That’s if they can make one

[left wasp]

but I've seen them used in older guides

at least for the meta showdowns

[stark quiver]

They seem newish so , maybe they only have one good fleet or two idk

[zinc cave]

not much need to play on manual these days if you have most of the big URs which is where torp shines

[elfin hollow]

i read but do i need to buy more of uni and helena for limit breaks thats what i want to know

[wind hazel]

optional, use purple bulin if you have any

[elfin hollow]

i have like 8

[wind hazel]

good, use them

use guild token to buy something else like the gold plates or gold retroprints etc

[left wasp]

I'm unsure on what makes a "torp fleet" tho aside from Shimakaze and a few other CBs/CLs/DDs
and the only "torp" backline ships I can think of are any CVs with converging torp bombers

[stark quiver]

Torp memes mentioned

[turbid dawn]

What is the best way to farm Cog chips? I’m down to 0 after getting approx 350 ships to lvl120

[zinc cave]

Mostly timegated really, but otherwise you can farm a modest amount from campaign starting at w12

[turbid dawn]

12-4 is my go to levelling spot and I don’t even think I’ve noticed it dropping cog chips, or if it does it’s rarely?

[stark quiver]

It’s small amount

[tame jungle]

it's not guaranteed but it does drop them in small amounts

[hushed dawn]

Is this a good cat?

[fleet berry]

I honestly think it's something that came in wave (early month, new or rerun events) and not something is really 'farmable' because W12+ drop is RNG. There are some routes that you can take, however, if you're willing to sacrifice some things.

• Stick with 12-1 and 12-4 if you still have many ships to raise. It also drops good coins.
• 1:1 stage 13-1, but you are sacrificing EXP and coins. And the ships requirement is quite strict (might need to oath Volga and Hamman II).
• Farming in 14-1 or 15-1 with three backline carry. Might limit your vanguard options too.

[zinc cave]

yep

[hushed dawn]

Hell yeah. Two good cats now (not counting Tempesta cats).

[dreamy blade]

you get 1 cog chip per ~250 oil spent in w12 lol, most of it will come from shops/event shops/comms/etc

[turbid dawn]

Would I be able to auto farm say 15-1 for a better chance of cog chips while getting coins then? Because tbh I hate having ships at 100 just accumulating exp and feeling like I need a backlog of chips I don’t have

[fleet berry]

I am going back to 13-1 these days (after trying 14-1, kek) because I can even run three purple DD at sub-lv100, carried by Unicorn and Luna/Independence/BearnM, leaving another main fleet slot if I need to raise someone.

[fleet berry]

Some people said that it's possible, but I can't replicate that. Tried running 14-1 which is fine for sub-Lv100 CA/CL, but my DD survival rate is 50% or so.
Also AFAIK the drop rate is the same; the amount of dropped is increased at higher chapters.

[turbid dawn]

Hmmmm okay I’ll have a look into what I can do

[cobalt rapids]

It adds up also w12 is the worst for cog by a decent amount
W15 is like double the cogs per oil from w12

[full plank]

ay my fleet rn is lion taihou unicorn helena javelin portland

i got some super rares: prinz eugen,atago,dead master,black rock shooter,enterprise,volga,kiev and bismarck also theseus and kashino
do i replace anyone? or do i make a second fleet with the others

chapter 7 rn

[tame jungle]

no

just wait until you get to ch9 or 10

[stark quiver]

Enterprise is better than taihou

[cobalt rapids]

U can keep pushing to w9 but also u should be farming event rn

[full plank]

so swap?

[tame jungle]

no

[stark quiver]

After event, dragging new ship painful

[full plank]

do i just repeat sortie highest i can or get all the x3 bonuses first

[fleet berry]

If you want to run 14-1, I'll run something like Unicorn + Raffaello. Maybe adding another healer such as Zuihou or Aquila will help your DD survivability; or only bring ships at Lv105/Lv110 might also help.

[cobalt rapids]

Whats ur highest, u can do x3 with like unicorn and jav only aswell

[full plank]

B3 i dont got enough stats to access C1

[cobalt rapids]

Raff doesn’t heal if ur ships dont have dmg

[hushed dawn]

Are any of the recently added gear in Gear Lab useful or good?

[fleet berry]

Sorry, a bit confused there. You mean that Raff heal won't trigger if your vanguard is not damaged?

[cobalt rapids]

Ig then just run b3 and lvl ur fleet

[full plank]

i got them double cost double reward tickets
do i use them

[cobalt rapids]

i mean they dont get pearlstacks coz they cannot sink enemies because they deal too little dmg

[nocturne glade]

Is ch 13 a lot harder than ch12? I havent pushed campaign for a while after reaching 12-4 and wasnt sure if I was ready

[fleet berry]

Ah, the Lv95 ships can deal enough damage. I've seen even the DD triggering Raff heal.
It's just the torp RNG damage is too unreliable without the torp hull.

[dreamy blade]

ch12 can be brute forced but ch13 requires a little thought put into fleet building

[nocturne glade]

i see, ty!

guess ill give it a shot

[cobalt rapids]

if ure short on time use em

[warped acorn]

is there a problem here wonder why she so fragile

[cobalt rapids]

techincally in torp opening salvo or if they lose 20% hp ig but i found it inconsistent and better to add another healer cv since i found a bb unneeded for safe 14-1

[fleet berry]

You can do 14-1 Safe without BB at all?

[cobalt rapids]

yes with proper stagger and xfleets

[stark quiver]

She has no levels and the auxes aren’t even fully upgraded

[fleet berry]

Well, my backliner doesn't sunk, but it's not 100% health either. Might be interesting playing with the backliner again later.
So, maybe something like Unicorn/Luna/Zuihou?

[cobalt rapids]

i tend to run klaudia zuihou and then w.e im aff farming + 3 vanguards
but the front one needs to be at least somewhat tanky or somewhat lvled

[warped acorn]

oh so there arent any issue with using wrong aux?

[stark quiver]

Those are the right auxes, of course, gold rudder is better

[warped acorn]

oh welp, guess might rushed abit too fast in campaign that she cant catch up then

[blissful sigil]

Good morning,

Im farming event D3 for the Rosen Emblems since I cant do SP. Does Glorious META drop twice if I use 2x reward Logistics Plan?

[stark quiver]

Do you aff farm all your ships

[cobalt rapids]

yes all my oaths to 200

[stark quiver]

She can be rolled twice
Think, if you do a 3x, it’s basically a 6x

[stark quiver]

Peak, is ranger 200 and retroed
Also 10/10 skills

[cobalt rapids]

this what im running rn

[blissful sigil]

If I have already a copy of the ship, will it turn into META Crystal or just the normal ship?

[stark quiver]

Meta crystal until you have 1 original copy and 4 meta crystals

[fleet berry]

Lemme try it on my side then. Interesting if that works without BB at all. Who are your X-Fleet?

[wet shadow]

Bluestacks or LDPlayer for Azur Lane?

[stark quiver]

My favs are
Mumu > ld > bluestacks

[split gazelle]

+1 for MuMu

[wet shadow]

unrelated but why do you pray that AL EOS's

[stark quiver]

Goofy game, also a pvp joke of mine

[cobalt rapids]

the last node was a 3* bb and they are quite healthy as u can see
xfleets is soyuz musashi alsace guam shima unzen
cats are double mountain flame
u may wanna run uni instead of klaudia i just prefer her for reasons

[stark quiver]

Me when I run whoever is hotter

[fleet berry]

FWIW I like Klaudia design more than Uni too, kekw. That Lv119 Duca also helping quite a lot, I guess. But yeah, duly noted. I don't have the good cats yet, so that might hinder me a bit, but we'll see.

[cobalt rapids]

abit
but adding uni and volga instead of klaudia taihou should make it no problem

[prisma mantle]

What will happen to the current UR event pity counter after the event?

[fleet berry]

3* DD nodes on mine. I'm running Alsace/Musashi/Amagi CV/Z52/Shima/Unzen for X-fleet though, so that might also affecting my results.

[cobalt rapids]

guam has an intercept xfleet for the 5 battles so shes quite good

[fleet berry]

Ah yeah, forgot to say that my Kronk is not MLB yet and only at Lv95, hence why I didn't use her.

[cobalt rapids]

but also waves should just die to proper xfleets and stagger cv launch
and the little rammers that escape should be healed up

[fleet berry]

They will be wasted.

[cobalt rapids]

also soyuz or another bb xfleet better than mamagi

[prisma mantle]

Aight thanks

[fleet berry]

Running 3CV in mob is enough to reach Superiority/Supremacy, anyway?

[wary skiff]

is napoli worth running over anchorage

[cobalt rapids]

yea for sure

[fleet berry]

Just to be clear, Lion's pity point will be wasted. The permanent pity points (to get NJ/Shinano/etc) are not affected by Lion's pool, and are independent of Lion's one.

[cobalt rapids]

shes basically an upgrade to anchorage for most content

[wicked obsidian]

is there any good Submarine in Guild store to use???

[sinful fern]

Guys where do i find ur bulins?

[fleet berry]

@cobalt rapids 3star DD (1/5) and 3star BB (0/5). That's real good. I will probably swap Fritz for someone else in preparation for KawakazeM, but holy smokes, 14-1 farming is totally (and consistently) doable.

[dreamy blade]

no, good subs are from medal and merit shops

[dreamy blade]

the proto shop

[wicked obsidian]

ok...i haave enough...Anyone good there i can get?

[sinful fern]

uhh where do i find it im kinda new here

[fair lance]

shop>supply>monthly>proto

[nocturne glade]

is izumo with her module serviceable in BB fleet?

[wind hazel]

depends on what else you have

[dreamy blade]

guild shop is mostly for tech after you initially get uni and helena

[atomic abyss]

At least ships wise

[agile patrol]

hi
i looked at lion's skills, and one of them is the "Lionflame" one where she shoots out her fire barrage
but there's also another one i see mid-battle where she throws (???) meteors (???) down, which one is that?
i might be blind, bec i cant find it in her skills

[ivory pawn]

Same skill. It mentions two barrages, one every x (15?) seconds and one on salvo.

[wind oxide]

Just read her first skill properly

[agile patrol]

ohhiuhuhhuuuouh, its two skills in one

[tame jungle]

no it's one skill in one, it just has multiple barrages

[ocean trout]

i cant type anything. nothing registers

i already restarted the game . this never happened on my old android version

[elfin hollow]

i want to build her but dont have funds for cubes can i use these as replacement to start making her?

[wind oxide]

try tapping the typing bar it somehow worked for me

[ocean trout]

doesnt work

[crimson glacier]

blueprints are used in place of limit breaks

they do nothing for unlocking the ships

[elfin hollow]

can i focus on saint louis till i am able to build roon? i can make saint louis right now

i know its not written on the document

[whole crypt]

Saint Louis is fine, early on it's usually just taking a ship you can actually work on

most of the time that ends up being Saint Louis or Neptune

[elfin hollow]

where is the best place to farm retro material farm on not hard mode

[undone saffron]

Im stuck do i replace one of the characters or keep playing this team if so any tips?

Hood is flag btw i just accidentally placed her there

Do i just focus in retrofits?

[whole crypt]

most of your retrofit prints will be from HM, could try checking guild shop but it's not always on rotation

[whole crypt]

where and how are you stuck besides Taihou's LB there are no glaring issues

[ocean trout]

ehm i just bought the swim suit pack and i didnt get any gems ,wtf is happening

[whole crypt]

have you claimed the bag from mail

[ocean trout]

not yet,no

[ivory pawn]

The gems are in the bag.

[whole crypt]

it's not "opened" until you do and you don't get any of the contents before that

[ocean trout]

why are the other bags not like this ? lol

[whole crypt]

all lucky bags are like this

[ivory pawn]

They were? All the lucky bags are like this.

[ocean trout]

u sure?

[whole crypt]

other packs are different but lucky bags always

[ocean trout]

i just bought 2 other bags this patch and all i got were the skins

[undone saffron]

I mean my fleets yknow van and main power are not increasing

[whole crypt]

you might have just claimed them without noticing

power is useless

[undone saffron]

Should i replace one of them with trafal? I do have her but i ran out of exp😔

[undone saffron]

Oh really?

[whole crypt]

you XP by using the ships not just feeding XP packs, so if you want to level ships you have to bring her along

fleet/ship power is a useless metric based only on their rarity and stats, and doesn't reflect the quality of their skills or whether they're propely equipped

[undone saffron]

Ohhh

[undone saffron]

It makes sense tysm🙏

[ripe sparrow]

this good enough?

[whole crypt]

not bad but can't say much without use context

[dreamy blade]

considering shes lv106 so youre probably just grinding with her, yes it's good enough (although it may be faster with a 457 and HPFCR)

[late flame]

smh yellow shell

[indigo seal]

Quick question,
Can Westland Wyvern launch from support fleet in ch.15?

[ivory pawn]

Only Fighters. So no.

Still useful if you have extras because stat padding, but you’d rather have them on your actual fleets.

[atomic abyss]

Well yeah I'd agree with that
Technically correct

Tho uh

I don't think you need that many Wyverns for w15

[ivory pawn]

That “if” is doing a lot of work, because you’re really, really not expected to have extras.

[deft kettle]

any good ship here?

[hollow quartz]

Is Saratoga agument worth it?

[crude prawn]

I need to improve my team, I need to rearrange it

[dusk dirge]

Is Trafalgar good? How does she compare to Mogodor? I’m trying to figure out which of those two to use my bullins on.

[ivory pawn]

Independence is a fantastic Carrier once retrofitted. Everyone else is tech/collection.
Best to get a White & Black shell first usually.

[deft kettle]

what abt west virginia and royal fortune?

are they good like the others said?

[paper ore]

you can farm west virginia

[dusk dirge]

Royal fortune is niche as a sub. She’s good against light armor but is terrible against other armors.

[late flame]

RF isnt worth spending that much core data yeah

[deft kettle]

west virginia it is?

idk if i even see independence

[late flame]

up to you - personally i'd rather farm wv in wa

[paper ore]

gotta scroll down

[dusk dirge]

She’s a purple, but when retrofitted is amazing.

[atomic abyss]

Completely different uses
Traf is AA carry + enemy debuffer
Mogador is DPS
If I were you, I'd save the bulins for Bismarck # if you haven't gotten her yet

[late flame]

not really when nelson exists

[deft kettle]

better than laffey when retrofitted?

[dusk dirge]

Thanks!

I have the other UR maxed so it’s between those two

[paper ore]

laffey is a vanguard. independence is a main fleet ship

[atomic abyss]

Well, Laffey retro doesn't hold a candle to any UR DD

It's just that backline URs are higher prio than frontline ones

[deft kettle]

if wv retro is better than laffey retro, ima focus on wv then

[late flame]

dude they do different things

[deft kettle]

oh

[atomic abyss]

WV is a backliner...

[deft kettle]

istg im so bad at existing in this server

[atomic abyss]

Laffey is a frontliner

You can't compare them at all

The only common resources they take are purple bulins and coins

[late flame]

tbh i wouldnt bother with wv unless collection or lacking nelson

[atomic abyss]

Maryland is better than wv

[deft kettle]

also one more thing, other than the homecoming page where u get core, where else can you get core?

[atomic abyss]

Campaign hard mode

[deft kettle]

oki

[hollow quartz]

Since we are on the topic of shops is there anyone worth grabbing in the merit shop? Maybe Eldridge but I dont think there is a way to get her retrofit item right now is there?

[late flame]

yeah eldridge is dodo without her retrofit item

[paper ore]

not quite yet no

[atomic abyss]

Besides Eldridge
While there are other good ships, they don't have a place in the meta

So if anything

Good for getting rarer tech

[paper ore]

I tried using eldridge retrofit for w15. that was a nice wake up call lmfao

[late flame]

also some of those are skins not actual ships

[ivory pawn]

Might be worth to pick up Eldridge early, if only because you might not see her in shop for months after her item drops.

[mild crest]

Apologies confused Eldridge's with Sandy's, disregard my previous statement lol

[hollow quartz]

Thank you guys. One last question do items like eldridge retrofit one get their event rerun or do they get added to the shop right away without one?

[deft kettle]

shall i focus on improving warspite

[late flame]

no lol

[deft kettle]

oki

[atomic abyss]

From past cases with UR retro items
Rerun first then perma added

[late flame]

unless you have both lion and royal oak at 125 and wants to annoy folks in pvp

[atomic abyss]

Our last UR retro before Eld was Poi tho... And that was like, when Shimakaze came out so

[runic sky]

What's BIS for Kearsarge?

I'm not sure if its better to equip them as a BB or as a CV for their Aux slots

[atomic abyss]

Why did they release the 2 of them together even?

[deft kettle]

what about.... retrofit warspite!

[atomic abyss]

Shit

[atomic abyss]

Equip as a BB
Not that the plane damage is insignificant

[late flame]

but seriously warspite isnt worth the effort

[atomic abyss]

War retro loses to many SR BBs

[deft kettle]

aight, not even retro?

[atomic abyss]

Black Rock Shooter shd beat her even

[deft kettle]

oh alright

[mellow cape]

Warspite's issue is that she doesn't hit shit lmao

[runic sky]

Thanks, do you have recommendations for Equips?

[deft kettle]

im just checking the community tier list and checking which ship is worth retrofitting

[atomic abyss]

Gun and plane depends on enemy
If light mk7 + HVAR
If med rafaello + la9
If heavy lol

You probably won't use her for heavy but, champy + flapjack ig

[atomic abyss]

Unicorn, Saratoga, Independence, Sandy, Helena, Eldridge

Portland too ig

[deft kettle]

oki

[atomic abyss]

Nelson too if you need a BB

[deft kettle]

unicorn and saratoga arent far from retro, same as helena

[atomic abyss]

Helena is lower prio

Unicorn is the highest

[atomic abyss]

I forgot
The Chinese DDGs

Out of which only Chang Chun and Tai Yuan are permanent

[deft kettle]

from those ships u mentioned i have Port, Helena, Unicorn OATHED and Saratoga

[paper ore]

you need to clear that specific war archives D3 60 times

[late flame]

uh event d3 is event d3. separate from WA

[paper ore]

say for fallen wings you need to clear fallen wings D3 60 times. not any other D3

[heavy sail]

where do i get gold submarine gear?

[tropic tusk]

craft

[heavy sail]

i have received 0 gold blueprints for sub gear in my entire account life

[novel solstice]

Some of it is crafted in the gear lab rather than through blueprints (which you'll get stuff for when you are high enough level to do opsi).

[tropic tusk]

have u done opsi

[novel solstice]

Also note that for sub aux gear, many subs want to use the purple pressure hull and gold snorkel, which you get from the core shop (monthly).

[mellow cape]

You also get it from this

[stark quiver]

I don’t recommend doing lvl 95 sub raid when you don’t have 6 bidders

[novel solstice]

And the odds of getting gold prints go up with the higher level versions of backline disruption, so you don't get many if you're still low level. Though you also want the british purple torp prints because you'll eventually upgrade those to bidders in the gear lab.

[late flame]

or RF although its still not worth buying her from shop

[mellow cape]

Wait wdym alpha?

What are bidders?

[fair lance]

sub torps

[novel solstice]

Bidders are a sub torpedo, generally considered the best (though depending on reload stat and oxygen stat, the G7e is sometimes better).

[late flame]

bidders are if you are not minmaxing RLD with cats and such

[mellow cape]

What does that have to do with the lvl 95 sub raid

[novel solstice]

You make bidders in the gear lab, out of the purple british mk VIII torp. The lvl 95 raid you are more likely to get gold prints for torps that are less good than the purple prints for the mk VIII.

[late flame]

anyways
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQgHA64CmAc

[mellow cape]

Oh I understand now, I was just answering their questions about where to get gold torps and not the best torps lol

[late flame]

and yes RF can solo it. but it really isnt worth getting her + her guns (from shop that is)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UmZ27PVEAs

[cobalt rapids]

lv 107 new player

[tropic tusk]

maybe he got an account

[eternal basalt]

Youcan use any IX sub if you've gotten any during October

[zenith heron]

plus after using her, you would rarely use her for rare occasions, especially those against Light armored Bosses... (certain Challenge Bosses that is)...

[late flame]

i am totally not biased yarr

[deft kettle]

lion better than trafalgar?

[late flame]

they also do different things

[deft kettle]

i got two of em and im tweaking soo, lb her?

[fair lance]

Basically nothing else to do with dupes

[cobalt rapids]

except fp and ex gamers

[hollow gust]

Meh I always grab a extra one just incase I need it

[late flame]

or showing off ig

[deft kettle]

is lion better than trafalgar?

[fair lance]

campaign too but why would you do that?

[cobalt rapids]

but new players should indeed mlb with all their dupes because by the time u can competitive ex or fp game the event will have rerun

[cobalt rapids]

its a better bulin investment

[tropic tusk]

wait how u use the same ship on different slot?

[late flame]

lion is backliner / mainfleet
traf is fronliner

[fair lance]

Both of them are good and don't fight for the same spot

[hollow gust]

They do two different things, one of them is a backline and another is a frontline

[tropic tusk]

or does it only count sksins?

[stone iris]

yo quick question boys

its not letting me finish a ship in the shipyard

[plain saffron]

New "projection" for pr

[mellow cape]

I'm so confused...

[plain saffron]

Send a screenshot

[mellow cape]

Wtf is going on

[fair lance]

you need to level it

10 for past 9 30 for past 19 iirc and 70 for 30

[plain saffron]

This is ship level

[cobalt rapids]

peak description

[stone iris]

yeah i get that, but when i click "+" it doesnt let me do anything LMAO

[turbid marsh]

ship level

[cobalt rapids]

you need to level the ship not her dev lvl

[fair lance]

Go to the character screen in dock

[plain saffron]

As i said ship level

[stone iris]

OHHHHHHHHH SHIT

[novel solstice]

Yes. it's not asking for blueprints to raise dev level, it's asking for XP to raise ship level. Go spend XP books on her, or put her in dorm or put her in a fleet to grind the event.

[turbid marsh]

XD

[stone iris]

yeah my bad, dumazz question

[plain saffron]

Wdym unlocks ship i already unlocked it

[stone iris]

thx for the help!

[cobalt rapids]

you unlock it again now

[novel solstice]

It is a really poorly written UI. That question comes up a lot.

[plain saffron]

2 Plymouth!!

[late flame]

smol indie company

scrappable research ships when

[plain saffron]

Why would you do that

[tropic tusk]

wt that mean

[turbid marsh]

hope research ship doesn't take dock space XD

[late flame]

for science of course. also read the pins

[novel solstice]

The projection system lets you set a research ship as secretary twice, using different skins.

[plain saffron]

More than twice but yeah

[late flame]

and yes you need to have purchased said skins

up to 3 projections are free
(but yes do check the video in the pins, its clearer)

[radiant girder]

Doesn't every main gun salvo do this????

Been gone for like
3 years

[fair lance]

Trafalgar right? Should be when BBs fire on flagship.

[late flame]

yep
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Trafalgar

[stark quiver]

Because Halford is ass

[radiant girder]

Wtf is an "arcing gun"

Better yet

What's NOT considered an arcing gun????

[indigo idol]

what is skin projection from ships do exactly

[cobalt rapids]

vanguard guns ( except cb guns )
bb auxiliary guns
anything that doesnt shoot in an arc

[cobalt rapids]

simulate research ships dupes for use in secretary rotation

[indigo idol]

...

i wasted 400 gems trying to find out i am a dumbass

[fleet berry]

It also means that CV/L airstrikes can't trigger Traf debuff.

[cobalt rapids]

or ddgs

[plain saffron]

bb main guns is the arching gun so idk why it says that

those CL/DD guns are 2ndary

[cobalt rapids]

but ddg main gun is not arching

[plain saffron]

that's not a main gun

on both mode it's a missle not a gun

[indigo idol]

how do i use the secretary rotation feature, theres a list i added 4 ships but it seems that random or not doesnt really show what i am looking for

[plain saffron]

OOOHHHH

[cobalt rapids]

the main gun is shooting for interception just like bb 2ndaries

[wheat ore]

what is this notification telling me?

[plain saffron]

nvm i got it, i forgot they have a main gun

[indigo idol]

u can buy and upgrade stuff

[plain saffron]

your guild need to research something but if you're normal people you can't do anything

you can click this to see

[wheat ore]

oh so it will just be a red exclamation mark until my guild does something?

[plain saffron]

yeah i think

[wheat ore]

okay thanks

[heavy sail]

does little agir give exp towards building iron blood ships?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[chrome fiber]

Need help building fleet for campaign 🥺

Do i also need to lay out elite ship or is ssr and ur enough

[glossy granite]

Have we ever had an event where for a limited period the research project time was 2x faster

[cobalt rapids]

Idr anything like that but im new

[atomic abyss]

No

[glossy granite]

We need one fr

[soft raft]

eh not really

1 and 1/2 hours and 2 hours are decetly fast enough compared to the rest of the less efficent researches

[jovial jackal]

Any Gear Lab priorities for a new player? should I get a Wyvern or a 406mm MK7 immediately or make some of the AP IB DD gun to ease the farming?

[topaz elm]

What should I do?? I don't have data packs to upgrade the SR...??

[paper ore]

not gph related but how goes the reborn fairy? challenge

[glossy granite]

Invert the screenshot 😭

[cobalt rapids]

2 wyverns 2 junkers,
mk7 is a low priority

[topaz elm]

Because of crop sir

[soft raft]

you could've like
flipped it around afterwards?

[soft raft]

#off-topic

[cobalt rapids]

Stick to 1 fleet, dont run that many srs since you dont have the resources to limit break em

[topaz elm]

Thanks, sir

[heavy sail]

what equipment do i put on little agir?

[fallow cape]

since I got every DR ship, which PR is most value to grind? I mean gear shard

[cobalt rapids]

7

[cobalt rapids]

standard cb gear

[hardy creek]

Does opsi increase affinity?

[cobalt rapids]

it doesnt

[soft raft]

She doesnt look too bad, but I dunno how well she would work for a fast-clear comp
Namely because I see no mention of fast loading or preload in her skill descriptions

[woven star]

Her worst thing that she doesn't have tech points. So anything that you want for fun. She's not really bad, usual sr bb

[stark quiver]

whats the fastest opsi mob, for clearing c5 and whatnot

[woven star]

Lion?

[turbid marsh]

i think i saw something for C1 and C3, per chise lion i think, with z52 harbin/unzen/that wata i dont remember ibuki

and then for C5 is still luna fleet

[woven star]

Yeah, Ibuki there

[fallen jay]

Who should I buy from the medals shop? I have 97 medals.

Also is Kii any good?

[woven star]

Tech bb points

[little tree]

~~ the level 62 bullin ~~

[sweet delta]

For c5 I beat Luna fleets 2 years ago, maybe there's some more improvement now with ibuki or wata
#trophy-room message

[stark quiver]

i do not have chise, missed her both times

[soft raft]

Enterprise > Hood for high priority
San Diego, Sirius, Kazagumo, and the singular german submarine are slightly lower priority

Then everyone else is mainly tech/collection fodder

[wheat ore]

is this an okay auxiliary, don't think it's on the gear guide but i think someone told me that it's fine

[soft raft]

in submarine heavy content like W14 and W15 yes
tho I dunno if I would give it to Sandy specifically unless she happens to have the highest ASW stat in your vanguard

[whole crypt]

sandy doesn't need hedgehog if you're not fighting serious subs
she wants a good DD gun
the AA gun is dragging her AA down

[soft raft]

And it is mentioned in the gear guide in the ASW weapons tab
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/equipment#asw_equipment

[stark quiver]

my options are aquila/perseus/uni/indep/luna
which is the best combo to make?

[wheat ore]

i'm not sure but i don't have a many options for her, should i just give her double repair tool kit then?

[stoic forge]

How to get these things

[turbid marsh]

think ibuki good improvement, but i haven't done any testing on my own, just remembered something from CN regarding that. aint raising watasomething just to get 3 seconds less XD

[whole crypt]

open more boxes for blue eva aux, if you really don't have any eva aux just give her another HP aux

[soft raft]

either for free from cruise pass or as a reward for clearing special missions (that are unlocked after you finish the rookie ones)

Hopefully you're converting those to protocore instead of using them for research XP

[stoic forge]

9h

[soft raft]

??

[stark quiver]

[stoic forge]

I only get 4 and 2 from cruise pass

What about the others

[soft raft]

no but wtf did you mean by 9h

[whole crypt]

the series you get doesn't matter, you shouldn't be using them for dev anyway

[stoic forge]

It's oh but i type it wrong

[soft raft]

like I said, there's a series of research missions after you finish the rookie ones

[whole crypt]

the series you get doesn't matter, you shouldn't be using them for dev anyway

[soft raft]

it covers PR1-6
idk if PR1 still repeats twice lol

[turbid marsh]

ooooo taiwan server eh

[wheat ore]

wait what is eva aux?

[whole crypt]

aux gear with evasion stat

[split gazelle]

either of these

[wheat ore]

ah okay

also in general should i give all the ships in the front line DD guns > CL guns?

[stoic forge]

Well how do i do the xp thing for the pr ship
How to do it fast

[viscid swift]

grind 12-1 with 3 applicable ships

[stoic forge]

I am only at 8-4

[soft raft]

3 ships that fit the requirements + 3 other ships and go grind your ass off W9+ (Ideally 12-1/12-4)

Belive it or not, XP Grind is the easy part of research

[whole crypt]

the menu literally lists pr1 twice

[viscid swift]

forget about grinding PR ships for now then

[soft raft]

Lmao

[elfin hollow]

is she good

[soft raft]

Painfully average

[stoic forge]

It's not rlly thay hard to get to 12-1

I am just lazy

[versed egret]

is warspite retrofit still solid?

[soft raft]

lmao no
she's been powercrept since 2019

[viscid swift]

then get there then lamo

[whole crypt]

she was solid for like a few months in PvP and again now

[stark quiver]

solid yes, but there are way better options bc of powercreep

[versed egret]

sad

[stoic forge]

Never underestimate laziness

[slow barn]

What's the best BB fleet for opsiren?

[viscid swift]

I'll tell you why

you are quite literally spending more oil in 8-4 to get less compared to 12-1 for both coins and XP

[stark quiver]

lion,alsace,biszwei for most if not everything

[whole crypt]

look at it this way, getting to ch12 allows you to play even lazier

[soft raft]

Oil cap go brrrrrr

[viscid swift]

not to mention at the rate you're going you are basically never going to recover the protoype cores that you could have gotten if you converted all those combat data packs which could have gotten UR gear from the prototype shop

[whole crypt]

it takes you more effort to do PR or basically anything else with leveling and coins without pushing into oil cap stages

[turbid marsh]

then stay w8, its not like you are not getting exp

[viscid swift]

also, is it really that much effort to look at a screen every few minutes and tap something

[whole crypt]

yes except it takes more effort to play the game at 8-4

[slow barn]

And the vanguard of this fleet?

[whole crypt]

unless you don't mind finishsing one research ship a year

[stoic forge]

I might aswell grind to 12

[versed egret]

the only reason for me to grind through worlds is the gems

[stark quiver]

z52/agir,trafalgar,plymouth

[soft raft]

huh Lion cracked enough to boot BisZwei out of flag position?

[fallen jay]

So since reset doesn’t happen for a while I should get Hood since she’s in the available section?

[whole crypt]

if using Plymouth then yes

[soft raft]

Yes
esp if you lack good BBs

[fallen jay]

I’ll grab her then

Her right? Who do I replace my main BB?

[fallen jay]

My main BB is Pennsylvania currently. She’s my highest at 97

Do I still replace her with Hood or no?

[whole crypt]

if you have enough XP packs to bump her to a usable level yes, if not then wait

[versed egret]

does maxing out a meta ship still get you tech points ? ( i have not maxed a single meta ship in my dock and im very stacked in materials )

[heavy sail]

what are the main priorities to buy in this event shop?

[heavy sail]

meta ships belong to meta faction they don’t count towards faction tech points

[whole crypt]

they still have lv120 tech though

[fallen jay]

What’s a usable level? Upper 60s?

[turbid marsh]

hopefully 70, mlb, with aug XD

[whole crypt]

whatever level is enough for her to survive what you're doing

[heavy sail]

oh didn’t know that ty

[fallen jay]

So get copy of Meta then the gun? Or should I just try to get the gun instead?

[icy eagle]

What does defeat enemy escort fleet mean?

[viscid swift]

the gun would be first prority

[viscid swift]

any enemy fleet thats not the boss

[shut phoenix]

tbh she is good for a mob fleet

[soft raft]

note that it says (1 copy) next to Glorious META and then it lists her crystals sepreately (Which in total cost the same as one copy of Glorious META)

[icy eagle]

Thank uu

[heavy sail]

who is the event gun good on?

[viscid swift]

when not who

[soft raft]

Any BB that's going up against light armor
It's the new best anti-light BB gun

[heavy sail]

oooo

nvm i m dumb

thanku

when will musashi have a rerun?

[viscid swift]

she's already rerun

[turbid marsh]

you meant when she ll be in perm XD

[heavy sail]

oh 💀💀 mb i j picked up azur lane 3 months ago after like a 6 year break

[soft raft]

She already reran
as for when she's gonna be archived, who knows

[olive grotto]

How do you unlock the SP and EX levels in the Rose event?

[soft raft]

clear D3

[viscid swift]

switch B3 to hard mode and clear that

[heavy sail]

what about the lim weapons from the exchange shops in each event? will they be unobtainable now since no more reruns?

[soft raft]

they are added to perament sources a few months after the event is archived

[viscid swift]

they'll be made permanant eventually

[heavy sail]

ohh great

well until they re made perm we ll prolly have new bis..

[languid reef]

I have enough mats for an entire 1 level 125 ship, who should I spend it on

[viscid swift]

you mean have enough Bullins to MLB a UR or what

[cobalt rapids]

mlb lion and 125 her

[languid reef]

nah just the cogs

[soft raft]

[viscid swift]

I mean just hold onto them then, you can bank enough XP on all of them to instantly uncap them 125 when you do have the arrays

[wheat ore]

does playing the private quarters give you anything that makes your account better?

[soft raft]

no

[hushed sorrel]

you can show off "look what i have done" but i doubt you mean that

[wheat ore]

oh i meant like materials and stuff

[soft raft]

also no

it's purely cosmetic

[wheat ore]

wdum "look what i've done"? Like all the furniture in the room?

[hushed sorrel]

you can unlock some szenes with the girls.

[wheat ore]

you don't get any skins or anything like that for them?

[atomic abyss]

No

It's an entirely separate game mode basically

[wheat ore]

oh i see, do people generally even care about it?

[heavy sail]

ayanami is only good against light armour bossing right?

[crimson glacier]

aya sucks at light

torps are good vs heavier armor
