[quasi nymph]

yes

[daring flower]

wait wdymmmmm

[soft raft]

Uh
You can get specialized core from medal shop
3k in fact

[soft raft]

he prob thought you meant protocore not specialized core or somethin idk

[daring flower]

Yea I think I just spent w/e the max was, 2k or 3k specialized cores cuz i didnt know u could buy them with medals

[eternal basalt]

Cause 170k cores = a lot of bulin and I need to sell my soul to Akashi for dockspace, or just get bulins when needed from there

[atomic ether]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to change my display ship in my guild. It’s showing a random ship without the skin that I have equipped, and it isn’t correlating with my secretary selections.

Does anyone know how to adjust which ship displays in your guild or where to adjust that?

Thanks for any help!

[tame jungle]

iirc, 1st secretary slot (the one that receives affinity) shows as your guild secretary
this doesn't update instantly

[whole crypt]

yeh they update once a day on day change or some shit

[soft raft]

it's whoever is in your leftmost secretary slot without the randomize secretary feature on

Iirc it might take a while for it to update in the guild menu

[tame jungle]

what the update frequency is, no clue but try setting the correct ship then wait for next reset, i think that should fix it

or well, "fix" as in update

[atomic ether]

Thanks, y’all!

[daring flower]

Is lion the latest most popular UR o3o thats why ppl are saying lb her?

[tame jungle]

kind of yes but she's also just extremely strong for UR standards

[daring flower]

oh ok tysm i was jw cuz i did just get her but i never do anything with URs cuz i just assumed id never get to mlb

[elfin hollow]

is allen m sumner any good?

[tame jungle]

nothing special but she is very cute

[soft raft]

pretty decent
particuarlly she and her sister ships have higher than average AA for a DD

[eternal basalt]

She is the latest most broken UR before Yamato in September

[eager marsh]

have you ever seen crossfleet skills chart in samheart's spreadsheet? or do i remember wrong? i can't find it

[tame jungle]

/crossfleet

[odd root]

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

[tame jungle]

if it's too small just open in browser

[swift hornet]

Is CV fleet usually better than BB fleet for OPSI

[atomic abyss]

with lion entering the fray, you want both

[tame jungle]

looking at it closely this is probably not up to date missing lion only?

[atomic abyss]

sam asked me to update all his commands earlier

[swift hornet]

I have shinano n hakuryuu at max dev, wondering if my third spot should go to implac or enterprise

[atomic abyss]

implac

enterprise isnt in the comparison at all lol

[swift hornet]

Ahh I thought her lucky E would give her double dmg

[reef flume]

On heavy yes. Light-med armor it's up to preferences Imo. But most of the best equipment for those two armor types are event bounded or not in GL or hard to get (LA-9). And CVs are usually more expensive than BBs

[swift hornet]

CV dmg is also dependent on enemy AA right, so used BB against CV boss?

[wind hazel]

not really

the last time we had CV in meta showdown we went full CV

[silk helm]

whens the bz rerun?

[forest palm]

the 19th potentially

[atomic abyss]

soon ™️

[reef flume]

Next week

[silk helm]

kk ty

[atomic abyss]

it does, but not enough to help her overtake URs

[forest palm]

Ender read JP notes

[atomic abyss]

i dont read moonrunes

[swift hornet]

Also do we usually give helena to cv or bb fleet

[undone plover]

Before u have enough CV rld tech she is better in BB fleet

[forest palm]

Helena is easier to use with BBs, but CVs can work though CVs have a ton of buffers already

[stark quiver]

i dont use helena
unless cm and ex

[swift hornet]

What’s cm?

[tame jungle]

challenge mode

[stark quiver]

challenge mode

mfw lag

[tame jungle]

i had ping advantage...

[eternal basalt]

Also Tral, the first shop UR with cross support

[wind hazel]

wow warspite getting augment

[atomic abyss]

wait what

[swift hornet]

What do we usually use for CV buffing vanguard?

[atomic abyss]

warspite before monarch lol?

[tame jungle]

warspoot getting augment

monarch cyberbullied

[atomic abyss]

kazagumo, sirius, z52 etc

[soft raft]

Bruh

[drowsy gust]

where can I farm more cognitive chips?

[eternal basalt]

W12, W13

[wind oxide]

Warspite gonna power creep everyone now

[turbid marsh]

old lady?

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 chatgpt btw, translate on your own for better understanding

[wind oxide]

Old lady lmfao

[woven star]

Eldredge retro instead z52 something for slow

[forest palm]

just learn Japanese la

[soft raft]

The Queen Elizabeth class is quite old
Like WW1 old
1915 to be specific

[eternal basalt]

Most important NJ got no beachskin, so bad patch instantly

[tame jungle]

warspite was also nicknamed the "grand old lady" in real life so

[wind oxide]

tf you mean NJ got no beach skin?

[turbid marsh]

oh i knew that but i was not expecting them to say up front XD

[eternal basalt]

New Jersey cannot be placed in the shared area "Beach", but can be placed in the shared area "Cafe".

[wind oxide]

Ohh you mean the 3D dorm

[woven star]

NJ too fat for beach

[soft raft]

Upcoming update for next MT after this maintenance = Bismarck Zwei rerun and "Aquilifer's Ballade" (Roma, Da Vinci, etc) event addition to war archives.
Wow they really skipping Emden WA Again 💀

[wintry wraith]

I just started the game, and uh, i pressed skip on everything and I'm lost now, halp

[daring bear]

Guys, how do i dismantle these?

[soft raft]

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

[soft raft]

feed them to other augments like you would do with Meowfficers

[daring bear]

Thanks

[atomic abyss]

❗

Sam is currently updating all his links

old links will still work for now

[wind oxide]

He's changing to a new domain

[atomic abyss]

but please change over to the new links if you have them bookmarked

commands have already been updated if i remembered to

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[wintry wraith]

btw is Howe good?

[atomic abyss]

powercrept as hell, but a decent ship

[wintry wraith]

Cuz Howe and DEAD MASTER in my team dealing the most damage rn lol

[atomic abyss]

that is natural of backline ships

[soft raft]

not too shaby but not too special either
her requirement of 3 other HMS (not including her) can be a bit annoying if you want to use her to the fullest

[wintry wraith]

are the shipgirls with the "NPC" tag temporary?

I assume they are sonce none of my other ships have it

[soft raft]

yes unless you grind enough points to actually unlock them

[atomic abyss]

you need to clear the event requirements to make them permanent

[wintry wraith]

black croc deal little to no damage rn, should probably upgrade her then

(Black Rock Shooter, name is uh.. unique)

[atomic abyss]

limit break them

though uh

i would drop howe for black rock shooter

and grab unicorn

[arctic aspen]

I gave up trying to find the site for meta showdown fleets, can someone spoonfeed me it, I've been looking for like 30 mins

[wind hazel]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Uz0UvQHsVUrlNz08Pc1IN04oABfMeiXTngfM8XJzRXo/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.fs96e9i6mxn2

[woven star]

mlb BRS and put on her augment.

[arctic aspen]

Thank you No eldy retro so I'll have to improvise. She's the only important ship I'm missing (unless some META is meta)

[slim dawn]

any other CV that is specialized in medium armor except august?

[slim dawn]

low cooldown on the sniper skill lmao

[slim dawn]

just super rare ships not ultra rare

or just slap the CVs with iron blood rocket fighter?

[atomic abyss]

august isnt even specialised for med her dmg is a joke lol

she's specialised for "stopping" enemies

[atomic abyss]

this

[slim dawn]

hmmmm alrihgt then

thanks

[atomic abyss]

like, your best "SR CV" option for med
or any armour
is enterprise

[slim dawn]

planning to clear 14-4 without URs

[atomic abyss]

oh that isnt hard

most of the keyships are SRs after all

avp would certainly not help you in campaign

you wouldnt even use rocket fighters for campaign

there are still enemy planes to kill after all

[slim dawn]

i mean mogami's the boss at the 14-4 right?

so medium armor

[atomic abyss]

rocket fighters dont deal with enemy planes

which arent non existent in w14

you still want some semblance of dealing with them

[slim dawn]

14-4 still has planes? i didnt noticed

[atomic abyss]

most of the good w14 ships are also good at AA

for late game campaign, the name of the game is staggering

the more distinct your backline staggers the better

if you really wanted "rockets"
spearfish but that's fairly expensive

[turbid marsh]

im pretty sure it was already doable when it first out

[wind hazel]

👴🏼 amagi BC

[slim dawn]

thanks for the recom

[wind hazel]

[slim dawn]

how about independence?

[stark quiver]

plane make your cvs get detected and then kaboom

[turbid marsh]

yeah i think the entire allen summer class are really good back then

[slim dawn]

the first thing i thought is having yukikaze lol

[wind hazel]

just search on youtube 5 years ago upload date...

[atomic abyss]

independence is one of the best ships for campaign period lol

[wind hazel]

4?

[atomic abyss]

the issues are the BBs

im not sure whats the best SR pick for w14 at this point

[slim dawn]

mob fleet: richi, aquila, ryuuhou, anchorage, an shan, jeanne
boss fleet: amagi BC, enterprise, independence, ibuki, allen, scylla

[stark quiver]

i am

[arctic aspen]

Bro I'm waiting for her to get powercrept in 2028, it's gonna be revolutionary

[stark quiver]

oh hell naw

[atomic abyss]

ryuuhou in 2025?

[slim dawn]

wha why

[stark quiver]

wait wheres unicorn

[atomic abyss]

unicorn doko

[viscid swift]

bad

[slim dawn]

i hate using uni and perseus now they're over used, they need rest

[wind hazel]

you gotta go old school and use perseus

[atomic abyss]

also richi has much better alternatives at this point

even if you hate using uni and pers, there's better options than ryuuhou rofl

[stark quiver]

zuiihou

[slim dawn]

well if it's impossible to do it without uni and perse ill go have them

[stark quiver]

not imppsdosiible

[atomic abyss]

zuihou or volga ye

[slim dawn]

i skipped her event

[atomic abyss]

tho

[arctic aspen]

Context, you know the ur gun that Plymouth/ aurora uses against jintsuum fight? Do the BBs take priority for having that weapon right?

Also what's the 2nd best option to put on the ones who do less DMG?

[stark quiver]

i remember when people pulled perma for zuihou

[slim dawn]

volga? why volga

[atomic abyss]

you may need rupprecht or kazan at that point as a BB

[stark quiver]

depends
if you use aurora then just tos the gun for backline
if ply, then she hses w152

[atomic abyss]

cos she heals lol

[slim dawn]

why she's better than ryuuhou?

[atomic abyss]

she does more damage
her heals are timer based

[viscid swift]

if you're gonna use only SRs it wold be something like

Mob: Owari, Unicorn, Zuiho, Yat Sen, Fu Shun, Tai Yuan
Boss: Flandre, Enterprise, Independence, Anchorage, Ibuki, Fredrich Carl/Jeanne

[slim dawn]

at where? mob fleet?

[atomic abyss]

yes
if you're skipping uni

[stark quiver]

ong just china wall it

[slim dawn]

[viscid swift]

oh right Yat Sen exists

[atomic abyss]

no daisen?

izumo im ignoring cos fire everywhere

[slim dawn]

alright ill china wall it for mob

[viscid swift]

that would not be advisable

[slim dawn]

oh yeah

[stark quiver]

idk if itll dish out enough dps

[atomic abyss]

not full china

yat + DDG

actually, yat ddg harbin would still be fine admittedly

[viscid swift]

I forgot Harbin exists as well, so does Bayard for that matter

[stark quiver]

[viscid swift]

Felix Schultz

Chkalov as well

[soft raft]

Skill issue on Halford's part
Maybe dont have your planes suck ass next time lol

[slim dawn]

oh this is hard,

[cobalt rapids]

is it

[slim dawn]

how about yatsen, an shan and shimanto?

[viscid swift]

I mean a lot of shit works

[slim dawn]

uhuh

ill try to cook it myself, thanks for the tips

[viscid swift]

back when W14 first released, we only had 3 gacha URs

[atomic abyss]

bayard

[viscid swift]

NJ, Shinano, Shima

and FDG wasn't coinable

[slim dawn]

i dont know why ryuuhou isnt recom i just got her and leveled her up 😭

[soft raft]

For reference, W14 came out at roughly the same time as PR4
And PRs are a yearly thing

[atomic abyss]

bayard would be pretty insane on mob ye

[viscid swift]

Zuiho is just better

[atomic abyss]

powercrept, thats about it

[cobalt rapids]

because zuihou is a direct upgrade and aql is much stronger unless ure just healing dds

[atomic abyss]

zuihou is her direct powercreep
aquila and volga fulfil similar roles

[cobalt rapids]

but zuihou can just be deleted if an unluck fusou prod snipes her

same issue as indep
basically make sure u stay concealed and pray

[atomic abyss]

thats why i asked about ruppee

[soft raft]

Aquila == Volga > Zuihou > Ryuuhou in terms of secondary healers

And there's really no replacement for Unicorn unless you want Perseus's +90% longer reload time to bite both her and your overall AA capability

[cobalt rapids]

klaudia says hi

[wind hazel]

what about shouhou

[slim dawn]

so ill have uni as main healer, aquila back up healer, and rupprecth or amagi for bc?

[soft raft]

collab purgatory
tho rerun soon™ does help her if new players dont have her yet or missed the original run

[viscid swift]

Amagi BC is shit

[slim dawn]

blasphemy

[cobalt rapids]

you dont need a BC specifically in the first place

[slim dawn]

so just rupprecth?

[soft raft]

^
You only need a BC if Hard mode specifically requires it
In which case I just use Hood

[viscid swift]

considering I actually attempted to use her, I can say that with certainty

[cobalt rapids]

ruppy is very good so yes she works

[slim dawn]

triple cv mob? seems like a bad idea, 14-4 has a lot of suicide boats

[stark quiver]

it does seem like a bad idea

[soft raft]

it is indeed a bad idea

esp when there's bulkier ramming boats in W14

[cobalt rapids]

like cheeky said alot of stuff works nowadays

[slim dawn]

so mob fleet now is rupprecth, aquila and uni, yatsen, anshan and shimanto

[cobalt rapids]

i recommend checking /tierlist and looking at the endgame on for the w14 mob and boss rankings

[slim dawn]

[daring flower]

hii if theres a guide lmk but also is there like a best preference of 2 bbs and 1 cv or 1 bb 2 cvs for fleet formation

[soft raft]

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
And most people do 1BB 2CV (Possibly 3CV in W13 mob if you need more AA)

[cobalt rapids]

depends on content and ur options
hulls arent fixed but some hulls fulfill certain roles and u just have to fill those roles
if ure new tho u just use the newbie fleet recommend to cruise till oilcap and only then expand to 2nd fleet and beyond

[plain saffron]

That's hard to type

[carmine heath]

are prinz eugen and z46 alright generally/worth investing in?

[daring flower]

tysmmmmmm

[carmine heath]

especially their respective augs

[stark quiver]

no

[viscid swift]

Z46 is DD FP, PE is CA HP

[fallen jay]

It’s better to do C2 than B3 right? If that’s the highest I can go I. The event?

[soft raft]

in terms of praticality, no not really
in terms of tech, what Cheeky said

[soft raft]

yes
tho if you want to try and get Glorious META to drop, she only drops from B/D3

[carmine heath]

guess i'll just move onto new ships once they're leveled

[fallen jay]

Which would you say I should go for? Stick in B3 and hope for Glorious Meta or try and push in C2 til I can go to C3?

[hollow wave]

Hey guys what should my fleet look like?

this all I got

[soft raft]

Pennsylvania/Unicorn/I guess Dead Master Portland/Laffey/Helena
Then later on replace Pennsylvania with Hood or Black Rock

If you're wondering why I didnt mention Lion, it's gonna be a long ass time before you can MLB her
Also give this a read if you havent already https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[turbid marsh]

aint gonna grab traf at this time eh?

[hollow wave]

God fuck

[soft raft]

If you're wondering why I didnt mention Lion, it's gonna be a long ass time before you can MLB her

[hollow wave]

Nevermind me I'm a dumb ass

Blessed with good looks but cursed with a rotten smooth brain

I'm surprised I lived this long

Anyway ty

Is there a way I can reset levels?

[plain saffron]

scrap and get new copy

nope

[turbid marsh]

probably gonna have to use books from rookie mission, or just... grind more

[hollow wave]

Yo chat I got an idea

[thorny field]

Will my special pity 105 rn gone after lion banner end

[whole crypt]

yes

limited banner spark counters don't carry over

more importantly did you actually get Lion

[thorny field]

Yes already

I was freaking and try buy some packs for the pity but guess what i got another in 100 so i chilling rn

[whole crypt]

just forget about the counter then

[eager marsh]

skypirate only worth if +13 right?

[whole crypt]

skypirate not worth anything

it's just a transitional plane you use until you get wyverns, if you make them at all

[eager marsh]

[wintry wraith]

Is there a way to disable the splash arts whenever i go into battle? some of em are uh, attract attention

[viscid swift]

No

[wintry wraith]

Guess I'll have to play in secret :3

Is DEAD MASTER a CV or a BB, it has a plane icon but i never see her using planes..

[ivory pawn]

She’s a CV. Did you remember to equip her with planes?

[wintry wraith]

wait u have to equip?

[void walrus]

yes

[wintry wraith]

I got no planes ;-;

ah welp, time to borrow planes from long island (Jap planes on a American CV, interesting)

Wait hang on, is Gallant god?

[viscid swift]

no

[wintry wraith]

How abt Prinz Eugen?

i legit got her while typing that lmao

[viscid swift]

not really

[wintry wraith]

ah well, is it better than Howe though

[eager marsh]

prinz eugen is decent tank IF you don't have anyone else

i might be biased because i oathed her

[viscid swift]

Howe is a battleship

[soft raft]

they're not even in the same hulltype so you cant really directly compare the two
Howe is a BB and Eugen is a CA

[wintry wraith]

I mean, i just started this game like an hour or two ago

[wintry wraith]

oh wait sh, i forgot, should've known better (Plays World Of Warships)

[pseudo hearth]

Uh, maybe someone can link him the beginner's guide? I don't have the link

[viscid swift]

they already have it

[wintry wraith]

i alr have it, but i'm still lost lmao

[safe star]

Anyone the best pack for gems in terms of bang for buck

[eager marsh]

the one that still gives you the double bonuses

[safe star]

That’s only for the first purchase right?

[viscid swift]

just follow it and you'll be fine

[safe star]

Or does it refresh every so often

[wintry wraith]

i got:
2bb
2dd
2cv
In my formation, how bad is it

[viscid swift]

it refreshes during your region's anniversery
August for EN

[eager marsh]

2 bb + 2 cv is it for 2 fleet?

[safe star]

Oh sweet

[viscid swift]

don't generaize ship capabilties by hull type

[safe star]

So just purchase once in a while then sure

[viscid swift]

Shimakaze and Haragumo aren't exactly the same are they

[elfin hollow]

Can i put cleopatra on the place of portland instead of smol agi

[viscid swift]

no

[elfin hollow]

😭

Is there any way of me using cleopatra i really like her

[wintry wraith]

My scuffed team

[eager marsh]

put her in 2nd fleet

[wind oxide]

Nah not this update bro next update

[viscid swift]

if you really want to you can but
i'd wait until later when you actually have some resources to spare

[deft kettle]

uhhh whats the bulin there for

[eager marsh]

yeah that

[wintry wraith]

No idea, I'm new, i just sorted whatever ship i got by rarity and clicked 6 of em

[viscid swift]

why are you using a Bullin, get Helena from the guild shop like it says in the newbie tips

[deft kettle]

sry to break it to ya but bulin doesnt attack ;^;

[elfin hollow]

Can you give me stage quota to hit i dont go to next stages till i 3 star every part and im at stage 5

[wintry wraith]

yeah i figured. She's the first to die always

[viscid swift]

at minimum you want to get to Chapter 9 and in the near future chapter 12

[eager marsh]

i mean you can 3 star every stage if you want

[deft kettle]

get helena, she can wipe the enemies very well for beginners. Im like mid early game and i still use her, i finished chap 6 and she mostly did 8k-10k which made her most of the time mvp, also get unicorn asap as she can heal ur ships and she is a must have for beginners

[split gazelle]

I would actually recommend 3* cause it gives pretty good rewards iirc.

[soft raft]

he alreayd has Unicorn there

[deft kettle]

oh mb

anyways, replace bulin with helena, and its all good

[viscid swift]

if they 3 star maps yes do it but if they can't its not something to sweat over

[wintry wraith]

Is Helena Purper, cuz i alr claimed it for Unicorn-

[deft kettle]

yeah its normal, if i couldnt i would normally leave it there and complete it when my ships got better levels and equipments

[viscid swift]

refresh the shop for 50 guild tokens

[wintry wraith]

One of the blue, i got the aforementioned BB in the guide

[deft kettle]

saito want some help in dms since ur a beginner?

[wintry wraith]

yes please, I'm lost

btw what does lock do

[viscid swift]

this can only end well

[soft raft]

Wouldn't really recommend it tbh

[viscid swift]

it means they don't apear in the retire and limit break screens so you don't accidentally dispose of them

[wintry wraith]

I feel like i made the wrong decision lmao

[pseudo hearth]

Tbh, this almost feels like a troll

[soft raft]

Also cheeky, didn't they say BisZwei rerun would be the maintenance after this week's maint

[viscid swift]

sorry fat fingered that

[wintry wraith]

Does Helena benefit from an Autoloader?

[whole crypt]

so biszwei rerun confirmed 19th?

[viscid swift]

yes

[tame jungle]

helena benefits more from survival gear

[wintry wraith]

My smoothbrain installed the autoloader on Howe so i have to move it back

[deft kettle]

dm me rq

[viscid swift]

not really

[tame jungle]

you can just unequip it

[whole crypt]

technically all ships that can use an autoloader benefit from it but it's not the preferred setup because a dead ship does 0 damage

that or there are other auxes that boost damage more

[deft kettle]

what are yall reacting for💀

[tame jungle]

there's really no need to take this to dms lmao

[viscid swift]

I highly discourage anyone from doing DMs tbh

[deft kettle]

mann

[viscid swift]

both for the person helping and being helped

[tame jungle]

there's a bunch of experienced players in here that can proofread any advice that's sent

[deft kettle]

ok nvm

[whole crypt]

I mean if you need a conversation that's not stuck in slow mode a thread is okay here

[wintry wraith]

So Helena need HP? i do have fuel filter

[deft kettle]

yep

[whole crypt]

generally for CLs the recommendation is an evasion aux (camo/rudder) + a tookit

[viscid swift]

she's EVA and HP auxes but as a new player you'll be luck to fit anything there

[whole crypt]

yeh

[deft kettle]

speaking of helena lemme do smth rq

[viscid swift]

they've been playing for a few hours at most

[whole crypt]

not sure how early on you're in, but if you don't have options just fit what you can until it stops working

[eager marsh]

at the stage you're at you can just chuck anything to make them fully equipped

[wintry wraith]

"Random bs go" at it's finest

[whole crypt]

until you actually have stuff that's not random bs that's how it'll go

[viscid swift]

maybe this format will make it slightly easier to comprehend
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/dayonetips/guildshop

[wintry wraith]

so i have a prinz eugen sittin in dock doing nth, and i'm sure i don't even have a good team for her lmao

[deft kettle]

is this helena good for someone that is ranked 55

[viscid swift]

you build fleets for content not around ships

[tame jungle]

commander level means jack shit

[whole crypt]

commander level doesn't really mean much, but for where a 55 should be at that's kind of shit

[wintry wraith]

was just wondering if i could use this shiny new ship i got..

[viscid swift]

naval camo would be better than a Gyroscope but otherwise it's servicable

[deft kettle]

let me rephrase it

[viscid swift]

yeah tip
higher rarity doesn't automayiclaly mean better in AL

[deft kettle]

"is this helena good for chapter 7"

[whole crypt]

she'll make it because of her levels, not because of her gear

[tame jungle]

gyroscope doesn't really do much for her, do you have any steering gears?

[wintry wraith]

Isn't that basically all games with R SR and gacha and stuff

[viscid swift]

it isn't for AL

[eager marsh]

i mean 80% of the time you can say SR is better than elite

[deft kettle]

unfortunately not, i only have a 1 star common camo

[wintry wraith]

i mean as in Elites/R being better than SR

[wind oxide]

There's one Elite better than a UR depending on certain situation

[deft kettle]

some elites can become sr with retro which makes them pretty strong(im not far from my first retro which will be uni)

[whole crypt]

some games rarity correlate very highly to unit strength

AL is not one of those games

[tame jungle]

unicorn is the best ship in the game and she's not UR

[viscid swift]

can we just not

[wintry wraith]

maybe

[whole crypt]

anyway none of this is helpful right now

[viscid swift]

the truth of the matter is that like with so many things there is no singular best thing in this game

[deft kettle]

ima retro helena, idk abt laffey, anyone else i should be aware of retrofitting?

[viscid swift]

Unicorn

[deft kettle]

uni is already on progress

[whole crypt]

Sandy

[viscid swift]

depending on your options, Nelson, Saratoga

[tame jungle]

sandy extremely expensive so maybe not if you're only at ch7

[pseudo hearth]

Ranger go brrrr

[deft kettle]

I have saratoga(aswell as her big sis lexington, idk if they are the same since they have the same skill)

[wind oxide]

Too bad for those who missed eldridge retro item

[eager marsh]

yeah maybe not lexington

[whole crypt]

if you don't have anything helpful to say at least make it obvious what you're saying is a meme

[viscid swift]

Saratoga has a retrofit and unique augment, Lexington doesn't

[deft kettle]

ahh oki

[whole crypt]

item will likely be back this year anyway

[deft kettle]

what type of ship is sandy? is she elite aswell?

[viscid swift]

she's an SR

[pseudo hearth]

I mean it was semi joking, but she's still a very good ship for her rarity.

[whole crypt]

and her retrofit is very expensive
but she's also one of the few retrofit ships that'll be useful in lategame

[deft kettle]

i can do that when im late game, no problem👍🏻

im focusing on getting nj aswell

[viscid swift]

yeah don't

[eager marsh]

i would argue all UR retrofits are usefull

[tame jungle]

get shinano from the selector instead

[viscid swift]

I would say you're mosty definitely wrong

[whole crypt]

don't focus on getting any specific perm UR

[deft kettle]

what selector?

[viscid swift]

given Warspite is one of them

[whole crypt]

newbie missions

[eager marsh]

I mean warspite kinda meh right now, but she's getting augs

[whole crypt]

we don't even know what the aug does yet

and unique augments are also expensive

[viscid swift]

she would have to get the most powerful augement we've had thus far to make her even remotely relevant

[tame jungle]

warspite is going to need a broken ass augment for her to be actually relevant in PvE

[viscid swift]

she's worse than many SRs while costing 2-3x as much to speak nothing of URs

[wind oxide]

He's got a point

[whole crypt]

but anyway

the point is don't focus on trying to get or raise any specific perm UR early on

[deft kettle]

someone said that warspite is shit bcuz of her accuracy, correct?

[whole crypt]

no warspite is just shit because of her age and poor year 0 kit

[deft kettle]

0_0

[viscid swift]

she's shit because her damage is below par even after a very expensive retrofit

[whole crypt]

she actually has one of the highest acc for BB in the game

[deft kettle]

can shinano be picked from the special banner?

[tame jungle]

not from the event banner

and not worth it to blow your cubes on the permanent banners

[whole crypt]

sorted by accuracy, I was wrong she's not one of the highest, she is the highest acc

[sweet delta]

Holy where is monarch aug

[tame jungle]

i stole it

[viscid swift]

in your hopes and dreams

[deft kettle]

dw i got all limited characters except glorious meta, is glorious meta good or nah?

[wind oxide]

You have a rookie mission that gives you either NJ or shinano upon finishing

[whole crypt]

Glorious META is not bad but not having her is fine

[deft kettle]

aight

i got extremely lucky with getting 2 lions in a row, free lb

[sweet delta]

She out damages URs in short battles

[deft kettle]

i got a free cleopatra today

[tame jungle]

ok

[deft kettle]

i have lotsa sp and elite bulins soo i dont gotta rlly worry about lb

is cleo worth to lb?

[tame jungle]

no

[deft kettle]

aight, what sr is worth lb?

i can send an image of all the sr ships i have

[tame jungle]

i've no clue what you have

[deft kettle]

hold on

[whole crypt]

14

[deft kettle]

that dmg is amazing, i can only reach 10k ;^;

[tame jungle]

if you can craft hood's special augment, i'd say she's the prime candidate

[deft kettle]

whats her aug?

[tame jungle]

what fleet are you running right now

[thorny field]

Can u show me trafal build

[tame jungle]

following the newbie guide?

[thorny field]

Traf + lion best couple no?

[wind oxide]

Couple?

[viscid swift]

should just be a copy of Z52's loadout

[thorny field]

Duo i mean hehe

[tame jungle]

that's very expensive

[viscid swift]

why are you running a 1 limit break Trafalgar and Blozano META

[deft kettle]

cuz i dont got anything else

[viscid swift]

they're both useless

[ionic aurora]

Are we getting tickets for bisko rerun? If yes, how many can we expect?

[viscid swift]

why aren't you using Scylla, Portland/Lil Agir, etc

[deft kettle]

bolzano carries the shit outta me with dmg, if not, who should i replace with her

[viscid swift]

probably and 44

[deft kettle]

scylla doesnt do much imo

[thorny field]

Ty then should i save to this 1

[tame jungle]

leveling METAs is a drag and you will not be able to keep up her upgrading

[viscid swift]

replace Bolzano META and trafalgar with Portland or Lil Agir and Scylla

[whole crypt]

bolzano is only carrying you because your fleet is poorly built

[deft kettle]

i feel like shit

[tame jungle]

we do this out of love (i promise)

[viscid swift]

also why is Saratoga not MLB despite being level 90

[deft kettle]

no coins

[hollow gust]

Ricest said he favors fritz lion +1

[viscid swift]

照猫画虎，气人了

[whole crypt]

oxytorp is a stat stick for lategame, don't bother if you're not there

[thorny field]

Glorious is bad for me ?

[thorny field]

Aight ty

[viscid swift]

again, why are people using 1 limit break URs that aren't Lion or Musashi

[whole crypt]

I saw but we'll find out when we actually get some t15 tests in

[deft kettle]

ur saying i shall max lb scylla?

[viscid swift]

yes

[hollow gust]

he technically has

[thorny field]

Played 2 days

[whole crypt]

from what I can tell that Trafalgar and Cleopetra are 0LB

[viscid swift]

my dude, a max limit broken common is better than a 1 Limit break Trafalgar

[deft kettle]

195 coins since i always forget methods to getting money

[whole crypt]

I know, just saying
fleet has enough time for one more salvo but question is whether vanguard holds up

[thorny field]

Ohhhh

I limit 2 lion rn

About trafa i hearing on yt its good duo with lion so haha

I missing DD also

[tame jungle]

if you have trafalgar MAXED OUT yes

[viscid swift]

you might also wanna give that a read
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/dayonetips/guildshop

[deft kettle]

can yall tell me the methods for getting lotsa coins i forgot

[thorny field]

Ty yall

[whole crypt]

keep grinding, preferably in ch12+

[deft kettle]

crap

im 5 chaps away

[viscid swift]

that's nothing

[hollow gust]

ply is love , ply is life

[thorny field]

Limit break all unicorn and change glorious?

[viscid swift]

you're being carried by level advantage more than anything else

[hollow gust]

can you not mlb glorious ?

[viscid swift]

yes

and drop Trafalgar annd Cleopatra at least, probably Henrich as well

[whole crypt]

using Plymouth now yeh

I don't know since there's time for 1 more salvo could probably shave some off vanguard DPS and fit more durability

[hollow gust]

https://renhex.github.io/alft/291

[deft kettle]

yall got some sort of link for coin farming? (im starting chap 8 not 7)

[hollow gust]

highest you can grind

[eager marsh]

you wanna farm after w9

[deft kettle]

aight

gotta lvl up alot

[eager marsh]

for farming coin would be x-4, eg. 9-4, 10-4

[novel solstice]

While events are on, it is often better to farm the event -- you'll be getting less coin per oil, but you'll also be getting whatever interesting stuff is in the event shop (which usually includes some coin). Outside of events, world 9 or higher; most people prefer world 12 if their fleets can handle it (for a trickle of cog chips, plus good xp)

[cobalt robin]

I pulled her twice, so do I limit break?

[whole crypt]

I saw, I'm basically using this now but auxes besides Eldridge are offensive

[viscid swift]

yes

[cobalt robin]

Alright

[deft kettle]

im farming 7-4

best i can do for lvling up and coins

[eager marsh]

[whole crypt]

actually wouldn't Ply do better with the imp quad, traf's slot eff is really shit and the TRP ballpark is around the same

[hollow gust]

Imp quad?

Oh the torp, probably ; Plymouth torp isn't that special either so

[slender turtle]

Is traff better than z52 in the bb lion fleet?

[hollow gust]

trafalgar has a better buff yes

[whole crypt]

yeh well my guess is rice just didn't bother, the difference is minimal anyway

[hollow gust]

really been disliking how modern DDs are so barrage reliant

[thorny field]

Any info next event banner ?

[viscid swift]

it's Zwei's rerun

coming next week

[hollow quartz]

Does T3 drop rate increase in later hard mode stages?

[viscid swift]

probably but we can't say for certain

[thorny field]

If i get zwei i have to replace trafa?

[sweet delta]

Should be 99.9% win rate. Z52 is expected to die sometimes so maybe eldridge should main tank idk. Because Eldridge is not worth much in the last 10s

[viscid swift]

she's a battleship

[thorny field]

Oh dang

People said she good with lion too so hell yea im all in

[eager marsh]

would this ever get a rerun (again)? i mean the original event is already in WA

[hollow gust]

they will eventuaally dump it in gear labs

[viscid swift]

it'll probably get added permanently eventually, when is difficult to say

when was the last time they added any aux gear besides ASW planes to the gear lab

[wind oxide]

We gonna craft UR aux from depot now?
Prob gonna be the easiest craft lel

[hollow gust]

[viscid swift]

if I had to guess it'll probably be added to the core data shop

[sweet delta]

[wind oxide]

Not the research lab?

[rigid onyx]

It'll prob be in the core shop

[viscid swift]

again, seriously

[sweet delta]

Reading is hard, seriously

[wind hazel]

cheeky did you do any kwkzMeta timing on your own yet?

[whole crypt]

the chances are fairly good that HPFCR will end up in core shop

[viscid swift]

I cooked Zwei, Lion, Fritz doing 4 strikes

for now

[wind hazel]

double hvar too?
well i mean duh

[viscid swift]

yes

[wind hazel]

forgot its fritz lol

autoloader too? +7 +8 how many

[hollow gust]

Ricest tested eagle works, im just gonna use that

[whole crypt]

rice's top comp has no stop though how is the hit rate going

[viscid swift]

nah, 2 Mk7s, 2 Tables

[wind hazel]

ah, not going mkII?

[hollow gust]

all of them had elridge so idk

[wind hazel]

i guess make more sense having the shell

[viscid swift]

well I have 3 +13 Mk7s and I the Mkll doesn't actually work out with those 2

[sweet delta]

the damage check is easy so people with high tech can afford to slot in raffaello. But she's not consistent at healing so maybe she's kinda useless after all

[whole crypt]

ah well tune in again tomorrow night

[viscid swift]

looking something like that

[eternal moth]

Warspite's finally getting her augment. Let's see if this is enough to make her viable again

[wind hazel]

oh you're using zwei

[sweet delta]

But you can't finish 4 salvos as f2p

[wind hazel]

3.5 will kill

[viscid swift]

good enough for government work

[hollow gust]

why not just Lion gun lion

[viscid swift]

ruins the shot order

and I have 3 +13 Mk7s

[hollow pier]

Hey friends. I can buy 3 UR Bulins after getting some cores this week. This is my UR pool. Would you upgrade New Jersey or Truffle?

[viscid swift]

Trafalgar without question

[hollow pier]

All righty

[viscid swift]

or you save for Bismarck Zwei next week

[hollow pier]

Oh right

which would you weigh heavier between truffle and zwei

[viscid swift]

it's Trafalgar and probably Zwei

[turbid marsh]

i vote zwei considering meta fight is light armor

[hollow pier]

Yeah, I mean for my situation and UR pool, do you think spending on Zwei or Truffle first would likely give more value?

Thats true. Ive never been able to one shot a meta fight. Id like to get there eventually

[turbid marsh]

i mean you have lion, you have z52 + rumey, you have ply too. should be doable, i hope.

[viscid swift]

I literally already said Zwei

[hollow pier]

Brother you were so ambiguous you cant blame me for clarifying

[turbid marsh]

?

[wind hazel]

raising to 125 to do meta

[viscid swift]

what

[turbid marsh]

brotha, first part of the sentence is name correction and then second part is saying zwei XD but i understand where you coming from

[sweet delta]

I too thought cheeky meant traf first and zwei zwei

[hollow pier]

Trafalgar without question OR save for biskarck zwei
Its trafalgar AND zwei
I literally said zwei

Thats why I clarified

[viscid swift]

the first part was just if it was between NJ and Trafalgar

it's a pretty easy choice

also, don't use your own nicknames for ships when you're asking about stuff like this, it's just asking for confusion

[mellow cape]

[hollow pier]

I mean, fair, but that didnt play a role in the conversation at all

Thanks for the help though.

[mellow cape]

Tbh I see nothing you did as wrong worra, asking for clarification is never bad

[viscid swift]

I'm also just loathed to change the name of Nelson's great victory to such an unrelated nick name

[strange path]

Worth using right now? Or upgrade it into the other one when i can

[reef flume]

Use then upgrade

[viscid swift]

ehh, by the time uyou actually have surplus mats to uograd hazes to staggs you'll have more than enough staggs from research

[strange path]

Thank you

[topaz vector]

Who should I get from this?

[viscid swift]

check the pins, might need to scroll down a bit

[daring flower]

uh what is exhausted affinnity mean uh oh LOL

nvm just googled didnt know this was a thing

[turbid marsh]

you can turn that off in the setting i believe XD

[daring flower]

what really? so is it ok if i keep sending the same fleet/ships into battle if im just farming the event

[tame jungle]

don't send exhausted ships into battle

[turbid marsh]

i mean affirnity will drop but i believe you can turn that off.

[reef flume]

If you don't care about affinity sure. But they'll earn less experience

[cobalt rapids]

uh no let em rest
u get halved exp at some point and u lose affinity at a rate much greater than when u gain it

[daring flower]

oh ok sounds like stop farming w those ships lmao and wdym "turn that off"?

[cobalt rapids]

i dont know of any setting that allows u to turn off low morale warning

[tame jungle]

misinfo!

[reef flume]

I also heard ships self-scrap at one point if sortied exhausted. Idk if it's true tho

[turbid marsh]

the notification alerting you that affirnity will drop, ship exhausted and stuff

[tame jungle]

trolling in #al-general

[viscid swift]

never heard of such a thing

[oak cipher]

Strike again for the skins ?

[viscid swift]

what

[reef flume]

Chat is this true or just misinfo btw?

[cobalt rapids]

as true as the lvl 120 shop

[viscid swift]

it's just misinformation

[cobalt rapids]

[tame jungle]

skins are pretty much always temporarily available and only get added to the shop permanently after a long time

[daring flower]

ty everyone lmao i was confusion

[oak cipher]

Yeah I know, but for some of them, it's been only a week

[tame jungle]

assuming you're referring to the google play or whatever incident, no that's not the case

new here? it's just fomo tactics

[daring flower]

other than dorm resting, is there any way to increase morale again so i can go back to farm? or jus wait

[tame jungle]

wait faster

[oak cipher]

secretary

[cobalt rapids]

the current event has onsens which give u additional 10 morale /h

[tame jungle]

that's affinity

[daring flower]

ok ill hurry and wait

[ornate narwhal]

Did we get told what the new event will be after 6/12

[cobalt rapids]

1 ded week and then bismarck zwei rerun

[viscid swift]

it'll be a cooldown week before going into Bismarck Zwei's rerun next week

[oak cipher]

it doesn't also increase morale gain ?

[tame jungle]

no

[viscid swift]

no

[oak cipher]

oh mb then

[tame jungle]

it's ok i forgive you

[stone iris]

yo! any of u guys got a good lion fleet that i can copy LMAO

[cobalt rapids]

lion fleet for what

[viscid swift]

you build fleets for content not around ships

[stone iris]

prolly boss tbh

[meager tiger]

nah u build around lion

[cobalt rapids]

what boss

[meager tiger]

around in the sense that the rest of the fleet moves around her in orbit

[stone iris]

around 14 i would say

[meager tiger]

cuz she has a massive gravitational pull

iykyk

[viscid swift]

well, what else do you have to work with

[tame jungle]

#al-general

[cobalt rapids]

read w14 guide in /guide or open a thread and post your dock because i have no idea what you have

[viscid swift]

you are in no way close to ready for W14 lamo

[elfin nimbus]

^

[cobalt rapids]

first off all none of URs are mlb so unusable

[stone iris]

ahh oki oki

[viscid swift]

also stop spreading your UR Bullins around

[stone iris]

just focus on 1 or 2 ships?

[cobalt rapids]

finish musashi and then lion and then fritz and then bismarck zwei

[viscid swift]

always one ship to MLB

[stone iris]

ahh i see, thx guys!

[daring flower]

when ppl say like W14 or w/e i assume thats like the main campaign chapter like 14 or smthing

[cobalt rapids]

right

[viscid swift]

yes

[daring flower]

oki sowwi i dum

and this might be dum too but is it worth rolling the same banner to try and get multiple copies of the same UR or no

[viscid swift]

no

[paper ore]

you're new. you'll learn with time

[daring flower]

Oki ❤️ and tysmm

[sweet delta]

So your name is misinfo?

[viscid swift]

gotta take on Nagami's legacy

[fallen jay]

Should I keep pulling on Lions banner since I haven’t gotten her?

[viscid swift]

yes

[fallen jay]

Should I be using the quick finish thing on the builds? Or do I need to save those?

[eternal basalt]

He's just premature man... already has thursday's update

[fallen jay]

Is that a good ship?

[viscid swift]

yes

[eternal basalt]

QFs you get A LOT from, use them always

[topaz smelt]

we getting corgi aug or am i getting baited?

[fallen jay]

Alright good was worried I was wasting them

[topaz smelt]

do newbs get frontloaded medals from somewhere?

[viscid swift]

the handbook gives you a ton on one of the early stages

100 for 3 exercise battles

[topaz smelt]

hmm i might need to write a rec for that

enty, bis/tirp, fuck cas, sirius/sandy, kaza
?

[viscid swift]

yeah something like that

[topaz smelt]

fuck bis actually

oh right hood

im trying to find reasons to drop the starters but doesnt seem to be really efficient

[viscid swift]

I mean, what else can you replace them with other than event ships

[topaz smelt]

kaza

[viscid swift]

yeah sure if you get lucky enough with your medal shop roll

[topaz smelt]

just hit her on a daily light pull

[viscid swift]

I'd want Penn and Long Island replaced first through

and 3 SRs might be pushing it a bit for a new player's bullins

[topaz smelt]

penn is kinda ok til w9, LI is 1st gone

[split gazelle]

kaza is in daily light?

[viscid swift]

I think she got removed when she was added to the medal shop rotation

[topaz smelt]

shes still decent faction tech for anch

i thought only guild shop ships were removed

[eternal basalt]

Yes, https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Kazagumo

[split gazelle]

replace starter with ddg

[topaz smelt]

well jsut start on a server with a dd rotation

[viscid swift]

pretty much all the ships got removed from their pools

[split gazelle]

somehow sandy is still in medal shop and daily light

[viscid swift]

she was in the medal rotation from pretty much the beggining

[lyric stump]

I cant even do jintsu meta? 😭 😭 😭

[eternal basalt]

You can simply run her twice (40 oil)

[lyric stump]

I dont wanna so

[viscid swift]

or just use a better fleet that's not from 2022

[topaz smelt]

Not using lion in 2025

[lyric stump]

I cant do 4 run with soyuz

[viscid swift]

who said anything about Soyuz

[lyric stump]

I dont have her 125 yet skill not max yet

[lyric stump]

Soyuz rumey nakhi?

[viscid swift]

no
I used Kearsarge, Yorktown 2, Fritz, Eldridge retro, Aurora, Helena

[topaz smelt]

Can always do bz +2

[lyric stump]

No time stop?

[viscid swift]

Eldridge is enough

[lyric stump]

How u hit ur rockets

[lyric stump]

Ok ig

[lyric stump]

Will try

[lyric stump]

Ty

[topaz smelt]

why does bz feel so weak compared to other ur bbs for this meta

[viscid swift]

does she?

[topaz smelt]

best results so far has been alsace and vanny

[viscid swift]

Zwei bad frfr

[topaz smelt]

vanny + traf is kinda underrated actually

[soft raft]

[topaz smelt]

is there a better buffer trio than z52, traf, ply

[turbid marsh]

（helena）

[eager mulch]

love helena

[topaz smelt]

fuck helena

[viscid swift]

Aurora is an option

[topaz smelt]

kinda overcapped

[forest palm]

Helena really is the only one

[meager hollow]

where can I unlock the torps from this?
and where do I get the aux stuff

[viscid swift]

event limited, all of it

[meager hollow]

ahhh damn

kinda annoying, I only have the gold dragon but I dont have a spare for trafalgar

[sweet delta]

Only the AA gun is perma

[cobalt rapids]

the secret 3rd imp quad

[topaz smelt]

traf doesnt care about it

[meager hollow]

so what do I replace it with then

[topaz smelt]

any other hp aux

[sweet delta]

Whatever 500+ HP aux you have in general

[meager hollow]

what aux's do that

[forest palm]

always awkward to recommend event limited gear

[meager hollow]

does Wirbel Luft go up to 500 😭

[topaz smelt]

whats the delta on hp aux vs albion on traf?

[sweet delta]

For example, a toolkit is 500

[meager hollow]

oh so just double toolkit

[sweet delta]

If you have nothing better yes

There are plenty of 500 or 550 HP with extra (minor) effects

[meager hollow]

imma do the luft with 400 hp 4 speed

[sweet delta]

That's not so good

[meager hollow]

oh

[sweet delta]

Where are you even using her, does she need more HP? If not, then put oxytorp or autoloader

according to the reload stat thresholds

[fallen jay]

How do I make more gold quickly?

[sweet delta]

Play oil capped maps

[topaz smelt]

push to w12

[fallen jay]

What does that mean?

[sweet delta]

Play chapter 9+ or event D map

[meager hollow]

theres no gold autoloader right?

[fallen jay]

I’ll try I think I’m at chapter 4-5?

[sweet delta]

If you don't play enough to spend your oil, then do the 1200 oil commission twice a day

[topaz smelt]

before w9, you pretty much want to minimize coin spendage
only spend it on limit breaks and gear

[fallen jay]

I e also been doing a lot of the research things. So I have stockpiles of blueprints now of ships

I’ll stop doing that and push in story as far as I can right now?

[sweet delta]

You should never stop doing research

Just do research that costs plates instead of coins

[fallen jay]

Oh so I’m doing good there?

[sacred dragon]

for the wishing well i can try to get Aquila, but if i select her do i still need Volga?

[sweet delta]

You're not guaranteed Aquila. But Volga is quite replaceable anyways

[sacred dragon]

Well i dont have Volga but i wondered if i should select both or just aquila with someone else.

[sweet delta]

Idk who else in special is good

[topaz smelt]

more often than not, its best to skip wishing well

[sacred dragon]

even if you are over 500 cubes and still need a lot of ships as a newer player?

[topaz smelt]

500 is not a lot

hitting pity on the next ur rerun brings you to 100

[forest palm]

Bismarck is on the 19th

[viscid swift]

considering Bismarck Zwei reruns next week and the Ryza collab probably reruns next month

[sweet delta]

Isn't next week just warspite Aug and NJ dorm?

[topaz smelt]

i had 1k at a point and it went down to 200 in 2 bad banners

[sacred dragon]

oh thats rough

[viscid swift]

that's this week

[forest palm]

wonder if they'll fix Strasser

[sweet delta]

It seems we have vastly differing definitions of this and next week

[topaz smelt]

theyll give her AA

[forest palm]

St. Louis, Warspite, Chokai, Strasser, and Hardy, right?

[topaz smelt]

idk how warspites augs gonna work, since shes got no base skills to upgrade

expect it to be broken day 1

[forest palm]

it's gonna be another bandaid fix

[turbid marsh]

should be 2x damage just like sandy, at least XD

[topaz smelt]

nah theyll give her ghost asw

wow lion + bz is surprisingly disappointing

[boreal wagon]

theyll probably just make it upgrade both versions of the skill because they can very much do that

[topaz smelt]

i can see them just giving her a new 3rd skill

[boreal wagon]

i mean they did invent a skill out of nothing for bulin so not impossible

[topaz smelt]

someone give me a new archetype for this meta to test

im over lion + fritz

[mellow cape]

Soyuz, naki, and lion feels amazing

[topaz smelt]

kinda weak, tested alreadyt

[mellow cape]

Weak

[fallen jay]

I heard New Jersey when’s she coming out? Or what’s happening with her?

[tame jungle]

you're a couple years late with that

[topaz smelt]

the issue is nyak doesnt 4 strike well

[mellow cape]

What's strong in your book?

[topaz smelt]

1 shotting the boss

[tame jungle]

new jersey's getting added to 3d dorm presumably

[fallen jay]

What do you mean?

[cobalt rapids]

the ship came out years ago
but she gets a dorm3D implementation next maint

[daring flower]

im looking for a gear tier guide n stuff but is there a gear tier guide on this site too? https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/bb or is pixie just blindd

[viscid swift]

no

[fallen jay]

Is there anyway to make New Jersey super viable? I really really wanna use her in most content of the game. She’s why I got into it in the first place

[steady rain]

is the rose on the high tower event ending in the upcoming daily reset or the one after?

[topaz smelt]

shes fine for most content being a ur

[viscid swift]

the one after

[viscid swift]

she's viable, just not a ship I would invest into because so much stuff out classes her these days

[fallen jay]

So I still have time to get the rainbow gun from the event? Should I be doing the event stage C2 instead then?

[viscid swift]

if you can get the gun yes, do it

[daring flower]

o.o is that prototype triple 406mm mkII gun worth the 10k emblems

[viscid swift]

yes

[daring flower]

Oh

[sweet delta]

It's the most worthy thing in the shop perhaps

[daring flower]

Oh really i was gunnna ask that next if theres anything worth more lol

[soft raft]

Event shop gear always worth getting
Better to have it and not need it later than to not have it and need it later, as niche as it may be

[cerulean tide]

W14-W15, HM W13 Help

[topaz smelt]

how do i get z52 to stop suiciding into lasers and dropping my frames to 1

[daring flower]

tysm and ty ppls i wasnt sure cuz it was so many ... emblems

[deft kettle]

yall whats the difference between laffey and laffey II

[viscid swift]

they're 2 different ships

[deft kettle]

oh

[topaz smelt]

II

[soft raft]

IRL Laffey was a Benson class and Laffey II was a Allen M Sumner class

In game, laffey is one of your starter DDs and Laffey II is one of the most cracked UR DDs

The US loved re-using names for their ships later on in the war

[deft kettle]

ah alr

[daring flower]

also on the note of ships w the same names, what are those meta ships r they worth getting? o.o i noticed a lot of them but i have no idea if they are important or smthing

[topaz smelt]

theyre free ships

[little tree]

Free tech no docks space taken

[light trail]

BIS2 NEXT UPDATE LETS GO!! was there another UR in the same event as her?

[viscid swift]

no

[light trail]

gotcha

[little tree]

Cheeky spreading misinformation

[eager mulch]

[ionic kraken]

how much longer do we have left to farm the current ur event?

[little tree]

[daring flower]

ohhh ty lol

[ivory pawn]

Today and tomorrow. When maintenance starts, time's up.

[forest palm]

like around 35 hrs left in the event

[little tree]

Np

[ionic kraken]

thanks 🙂 i'm trying to grind out that 2nd copy of the ur

[daring flower]

also ty everyone for answering my questions ik its a questions ch but i feel like ive asked 50 questions in 1 day lmao

[steady vigil]

does the shimanto CL gun's AA gun scale off anything? AA stat, slot efficiency, etc?

like for example honolulu has a decent AA stat but terrible AA gun efficiency, so if I put it on her would she suddenly get a decent not-terrible AA gun

[daring flower]

are there a ton of gear thats worth buying in the core shop o3o just noticed so much new stuff from last i looked in here lmao

[soft raft]

which core shop
protocore or core data?

[worldly pewter]

simanto's gun is 🚮

[daring flower]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh core data maybe it looks like a black and white thingy

[hollow quartz]

Is Otto from the upcoming UR event rerun good? My only decent DDs right now are laffey kai and trafalgar but not limit broken

[soft raft]

/coredata

[odd root]

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/images/equip_misc/Core_Data_Priority.jpeg

[daring flower]

ty blaster LOLL

[steady vigil]

that's not what my question was lul

[viscid swift]

it scales of her AA stat, not slot efficinecy though

[viscid swift]

she's okay

[steady vigil]

to be clear, I mean the AA gun provided by the CL gun that is called shimanto gun. Not shimanto's special AA gun that is attached to shimanto. Is what you said still correct?

[soft raft]

realistically she's tech fodder (DD FP +1)
and a poor man's Tanky DD

[viscid swift]

yes, I got what you meant the first time

[steady vigil]

👍

[hollow quartz]

I guess I am that poor man

And I take it bismark zwei has the piriority over trafalgar to be limit broken? My only URs right now are Traf and Lion

[soft raft]

Honestly I say poor man's tanky DD in comparison to Laffey II and Z52

but either way you wouldnt really bother using a SR Tank DD since traditional tanks are better at the job

[soft raft]

Lion >= BisZwei > Traf

[hollow quartz]

Hmm then what would you recommend using for my second fleet vanguard? For the boss one I guess Helena plus tank is a good core but who else should I run with them if laffey is in the mob fleet?

[soft raft]

first post your dock in a thread

[eternal basalt]

NEXT UPDATE*
*After next update So... a week left

[hollow quartz]

Help making two fleets

[deft kettle]

is taihou u decent boys, just got her

[viscid swift]

no

[eternal basalt]

She is the devs moneycow, together with Kashino

[soft raft]

The Muse variant is allright i guess
which is not enough to avoid being powercrept hard

[topaz smelt]

thats just every sr in the game

[ionic kraken]

are the best aux gears for lion the shells? or does she want a fire control radar? or something else?

[daring flower]

why is taihou their money cow o.o

[soft raft]

White + Black shell is the most common combo

replace the black shell with HSFCR if you're syncing with SG Radar Helena

[soft raft]

Sex appeal + Lots of fans like her

[gaunt cedar]

should i change hood for howe even though hood is at lvl 106? i have enough gold bullies

[daring flower]

ohh interesting o3o

[topaz smelt]

you kinda just run hpfcr now when ever you can

[soft raft]

Keep Hood and then save Howe for 2nd fleet

[gaunt cedar]

i have kazan for 2nd fleet and bismark zwei is coming up

[soft raft]

then there's really no point raising Howe

[hushed cliff]

Which is better for Musashi general use? Is it worth dumping gun parts into the proto 410mm?

[elfin hollow]

Would i brick my account if i used gems for skins

[hushed sorrel]

you need urgently dockspace. thats really important. you wouldnt be able to collect ships or run 3 auto-maps. skins arent rec. for f2p
for a more detailed information about how to use gems /gems in bot-spam

[turbid marsh]

if you are f2p, sure...

[elfin hollow]

I just read the gems is there a swiping info too

Like which one is the best deal type thing

I legit love this game rn it requires zero effort from me and thats peak

[viscid swift]

any gem pack with the x2 first pruchase bonus is the best bang for your buck and they're all roughly the same value

[wicked obsidian]

Hay, how long will it take to Unlock Shimanto from shipyard ?

like to collect all Teck points for her >??

[elfin hollow]

Alright

[hushed sorrel]

it may depend on your country but some gem deals are heavily charged with extra prices. that has nothing to do with azur lane but thats how it is
like for example the 10$ ingame are 10€
but the 30$ ingame are 36€.

[viscid swift]

uhh, depends really

[elfin hollow]

Uhhhh it says its unavailable for your country can i top up on yostar website?

[wicked obsidian]

I wanna get her swim dress ....but i dont have her...so was asking how fast can i unlock her>>

[hushed sorrel]

i dont know about that. i hope someone else knows the answer

[worldly pewter]

where are u in the campaign ?

[wicked obsidian]

CH 8

[wicked obsidian]

is it related to Campaign

[worldly pewter]

forget about shimanto now

[wicked obsidian]

Why ?

[worldly pewter]

most likely u will need old pr to reach enough tech

[dusty terrace]

unlocking her could be a week or so of grinding but blueprints would take months

if all you care about for now is her skin its not super long

[worldly pewter]

unlocking her will take more than a week for someone who is in ch8

basically forget about shimanto until u have 2 functional fleets in w12 then ask again

[dusty terrace]

ah my bad I didn't see they were in ch8

[wicked obsidian]

Her dress will be gone tomorrow.... i wont need her then..

OK...then do we know when her dress will return ???

[worldly pewter]

u can't buy skins unless u own the ships ?

[dense halo]

if you know you are going to keep playing and really want the skin, just buy

[wicked obsidian]

What. i thought we can

[dense halo]

but know it will take some time to get her

[dusty terrace]

you can

[wicked obsidian]

i mean i am in ch. 8 ........how long can it take to reach ch.12

[dusty terrace]

I'm assuming it will take less long than the skin getting a rerun lol

[wicked obsidian]

U sould like its gonna take longggg ...man

[worldly pewter]

if u do as i did without the need for the jp anni event u might be able to get enough tech
but it will be a massive hassle

doable though at least

[wicked obsidian]

hmmmmmmmmm...I am just gonna Buy the Dress..

[worldly pewter]

but u want to start from now
check ur medal shop for ijn ships
mainly tosa shoukaku

[shell citrus]

What is this gun even good for

[wicked obsidian]

i Already used up...for this month

[worldly pewter]

what did u get ?

[wicked obsidian]

i dont even remenber...Maybe Hood

[ivory pawn]

When you need stat padding, but would prefer the BB to not fire. Like on Lion when c1 farming.

[worldly pewter]

don't worry much about ijn tech for now then
it will be a long fun ride

[wicked obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/i-really-blew-it-didnt-i-will-arnett-bojack-horseman-aaron-paul-todd-chavez-gif-16133078

[shell citrus]

so like better to use champange gun?

[worldly pewter]

depends

[shell citrus]

or if I wanted it to shoot I would have to use the fire control table?

[ivory pawn]

On BBs not named Musashi vs Heavy, usually yes.

[worldly pewter]

i use the yamato gun on uvh

[hollow gust]

tf? 460 is used for very specific slow timings;when the timings work its good

[light trail]

a week in azur lane time is basically equivalent to a few minutes

[versed egret]

Is 11-2 a good stopping point for grinding coins?

[worldly pewter]

are u gated by commander level ?

[versed egret]

Yep- also im broke
