[soft raft]

that's fine for now then

[robust jasper]

What sorta fleet configuration is the best to defeat kawakaze meta?

[topaz smelt]

Eld + 5

[hollow gust]

Lion+5 :)

[last zenith]

once I get kawakaze meta, would the best kawakaze guns and torpedos also work for her

[robust jasper]

So use lion, eld, and 4 other ships?

[sweet delta]

Use a damage gun, not a fast gun

[last zenith]

dammit

ok

[robust jasper]

Any other advice?

[sweet delta]

It's just a generic light armor boss that happens to do a lot of %maxhp damage and also is stopped for 3/4 salvos naturally in a 4 salvo timing

[hollow gust]

Well we dont know what you can run, not to mention people are cooking for maxed out ships first

[topaz smelt]

I have working comps but ppl get mad if I post it here

[last zenith]

hmmm

[hollow gust]

your last working comp dint work cause AL client is slower

[hollow gust]

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

[topaz smelt]

Theres an updated one

I moved stuff around a bit

[hollow gust]

just send it in the other plaxe

[topaz smelt]

Prob later tonight or tmrw

And I didnt bother minmaxing gear cuz it seems trivial enough of a fight

[elfin hollow]

Is Howe any good?

[hollow gust]

solid gold BB, but just a gold BB

[grave kelp]

Hi im extremely new to Azur Lane and was wondering if anyone with a lot of knowledge could give me a few pointers, I've watched some videos and read some stuff but they are all pretty old and I don't want to waste my time as Im a hard working adult 😛 So if anyone had some time please let me know !

[last zenith]

ummm
go ahead

[grave kelp]

Hm ?

[last zenith]

any questions or specific info requests?

[viscid swift]

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

[last zenith]

oh ya that thing.

[viscid swift]

and forget whatever you learned from those videos

[last zenith]

I mean.... its not like theyre all wrong
just 99 precent

[grave kelp]

Yeah I feel like they atleast had some useful info 😛

Like I didnt realize how to use the exp stuff till 10 minutes ago so i have like 700

[last zenith]

for instance theres this one viedo called ummm. something like 10 good starter ships

they mentioned kawakaze so its valid

but kawakaze is not a starter ship

[grave kelp]

But now i have so many ships im over whelmed

[worldly pewter]

how a new player can judge a useful info from a non useful one ?

[last zenith]

anyways... the largest pointer that must be said is dont go into the fox mines

and stock up on retrofit and augment stuff

[worldly pewter]

i didn't realise how to use them until days later

[grave kelp]

I am days later lol

[last zenith]

also a large pointer DONT GO FACTION FLEETS UNTIL U WELL DEVELOPED IN GAME

[grave kelp]

im like level 30 but i just been doing main mission lol

[viscid swift]

just read the newbie tips for now

[last zenith]

penn is good if u dont got any battleships.

but cant you just go into heavy build and build like 5 for a good battleship

[viscid swift]

what

[last zenith]

penny

[viscid swift]

why would you ever reccomend someone pull on heavy or special

[last zenith]

true... but for starter ppl everything is new

[grave kelp]

I guess I wasnt very clear im more of a visual interaction learner, So I guess I was more looking for someone to maybe hop in vc let me stream my game and like tell me which ships I should atleast focus on of what I have right now ?

[last zenith]

just send picture

[viscid swift]

so?????
there's literally an event ongoing right now with one of the best battleships in the game and one of the other best is rerunning next week

[last zenith]

bismarck zwei is next week?

and the event ends very soon.

[viscid swift]

not to mention you can get Black Rock Shooter for free from the collab basically and she's better than most of the BBs and BCs in the heavy pool

[last zenith]

true...

[viscid swift]

0 good reason even as a new player to pull on heavy or special

[last zenith]

oh. if you showed that earilier..

[viscid swift]

just copy the starter fleet in the newbie, use Black Rock Shooter and Taiho instead of Penn and Long Island

[viscid swift]

you don't need to show anything more

[grave kelp]

so thats kinda where im at there are some more at the bottom

[last zenith]

get unicorn retrofit asap.
my advice is sticking her in the dorm as you push with your fleet

[viscid swift]

also might want to retire some of those dupes for medals

[last zenith]

keep the portlands. so MLB and retro

[viscid swift]

may as well just use Little Agir honestley instead of Portland

[last zenith]

he does need a 2nd fleet. just stick portland there

[viscid swift]

already got 2 bullins in her

[viscid swift]

yes in time but absoluetly not at this moment

[last zenith]

true

where in campain is he even

[grave kelp]

3-2 ?

[viscid swift]

he's commander level 30, can't exactly be very far

[grave kelp]

I havent really leveled anything as you can see

is it possible for my to get black rock or am i screwed ?

[last zenith]

play

[viscid swift]

play consistently and you'll get her no issues

[grave kelp]

doesnt she go away tomorrow ?

[viscid swift]

no, you've still got another week

[grave kelp]

oh okay nice

[last zenith]

play like 20 minutes a day and Ill garentee you that you can get her

[viscid swift]

anyway as I said, read through that and push the main campaign
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/dayonetips/guildshop

[last zenith]

also do all 10 exerises every day. theres good ships there

[viscid swift]

too late to do much on the event

[last zenith]

he can get to like A3 and get some augment and oil

and the port reconstruction

[viscid swift]

a new player doesn't need more oil, they'll be over the soft cap most of the time

[last zenith]

oh ya

then something he needs. the shop has other stuff
anyways gtg

[grave kelp]

thanks for your time

[viscid swift]

anyway, just forget about the event

[grave kelp]

yeah i have 22,000 oil

[viscid swift]

there's not enough time left to do anything meaningful with it

[sinful escarp]

imo try to get the UR gun from the event shop at the very least, and pull on the lion banner for lion

[viscid swift]

they're commander level 30

[sinful escarp]

yeah, but at the very least pull lion

[viscid swift]

they're not going to get 10k event points in 33ish hours

[grave kelp]

yeah probably not

I dont have helena though

i sadly used it on something else i guess

[soft raft]

you can refresh the guild shop for 50 coins

[grave kelp]

Oh thanks nice

so who should i put in the back with Uni ?

[viscid swift]

Taiho and BRS

[grave kelp]

okay thanks

and if I do want a second formation just because ?

[sinful escarp]

for now no because with 1 fleet you can over level it till quite far

[grave kelp]

it makes you have one though doesnt it ?

or you cant do the missions ?

[sinful escarp]

just put some ships on it, but dont switch fleet

[grave kelp]

ah ok

[sinful escarp]

also are you pulling for lion?

[grave kelp]

dont know what that is

Oh yeah I have pulled 40

only got gallant and Prinz

[last zenith]

o.

[strange path]

Pray for rng it took me 193 pulls for lion

[grave kelp]

I will pray

and now i go pew pew stuff hopefully

So I should retire like all the doubles of the grey ships ?

[sinful escarp]

grey ships no. use the greys as enhancement mats

blue rarity and up retire the dupes after that ship is mlb

[grave kelp]

Whats MLB ? sorry lol

oh max limit break

Should I be enchancing all my main fleet then just use em all up ?

[sinful escarp]

yes

just click the auto fill. each hull type will enhance a certain stat.

only CV will give enhance the AVI stat, so use CV to enhance CV. wont really be a problem if you use auto fill

[versed dagger]

i have no idea how to get blueprint effectively like someone else, i'm still struggling to complete Nakhimov. how can i get blueprints effectively?

[sweet delta]

Are you doing season VII research projects?

[slow fox]

suchimisinformation

[sharp socket]

focus pr7, prioritise face research and grant donation if going for ships

[versed dagger]

yes

[sweet delta]

should be able to max nakhimov in 3 months from scratch if you focus her like that

[versed dagger]

i've been doing that for a while and she's at 24

[sweet delta]

Thats the strategy

[versed dagger]

i still don't get how people get it so fast but oh well

[sweet delta]

How fast is so fast

[grave kelp]

Probably p2w if it is fast everything else just takes time

[sinful escarp]

p2w here is just more dock slots so you can continue clearing more until you need to clear up dock space again

[versed dagger]

like people already have all pr7 ships unlocked and at max bp and i'm still unlocking some and none at max bp

much probably a me problem, so i want to know what to do in order to reach max bp fast

[mellow cape]

Can't ptw nakimov prints tho loll

[soft raft]

PR7 is like 1 month away from being 1 year old, alot of people have had plenty of time to D30 them all

[sinful escarp]

also a lot of people already had all previous research ships maxed. with how long it was since a new PR series was released

[versed dagger]

i don't know what to say

[last zenith]

fr

[sinful escarp]

just dont mind it too much. you are trying to catch up to people with more than 3 years head start

[supple ember]

what the heck are these for

[sinful escarp]

ASMR things. i forgot where they were

[last zenith]

theyre the thing for memories

[sweet delta]

Have you been continuously doing pr7 for the past 11 months?

[sweet delta]

It's a secret

[versed dagger]

i'm pretty sure not

[tight drift]

Who should I awake 120->125 based on my fleet? Raffaello or Yorktown II (I can fully limit break her)? Only have enough cognitive arrays for one.

[last zenith]

amagi cv...?

[tight drift]

Have enough Burins to limit break all of them so it's not a big deal

[last zenith]

how much

[tight drift]

10+

[last zenith]

oh.

[viscid swift]

for Kawakaze META, Lion

[last zenith]

kawakaze meta is garenteed to be good
but we still gotta test

[viscid swift]

what

[last zenith]

you wont get kawakaze meta to 125 immeditaly
by the time you do u have enough

[viscid swift]

what does Kawakaze META have to do with anything, I'm talking about her showdown fight

[last zenith]

o

[viscid swift]

I thought that was pretty obvious

[last zenith]

but hes asking which he should cog to 125

what does that have to do with gameplay

[viscid swift]

yes, and I'm saying he should 125 Lion for the current META fight

[viscid swift]

what????????

[last zenith]

I didnt have coffee. Im not thinking strait

[viscid swift]

what does trying to one shot a META not have to do with game play

[last zenith]

ah.

[viscid swift]

clearly, I suggest you caffeinate yourself before answering more questions

[last zenith]

ya... brb

[topaz smelt]

Smh cheeky, you can't gatekeep these experts

[last zenith]

alr im back.

a coffee with 6 sugers

the crazy part is that its night for me

[stoic basalt]

Is Shimanto good only for her AA or does she also have good damage? Aka, do people use her outside of chapter 14-15 or whatnot? I'm really thinking about getting the skin but I'd hate paying for something I never use

[still tulip]

Can this game have sleep mode?
Or I need to do some setting?
Like
I fall asleep when farming
Next day in the morning, my battery turn low and phone become very hot because game screen still open (Stage Complete)

[vale spindle]

the game itself doesn't have it, you need to set it through iphone or android settings to automatically sleep or turn off when you are inactive

[viscid swift]

her damage isn't bad but she doesn't really see use outside of campaign

[rapid grail]

Do I have to wait a good while later to buy the aux skins? Don't have cash at hand atm

[soft raft]

yes

[late flame]

tbh if cash is an issue, skipping would be the superior option

[rapid grail]

oh well, cant afford it anyway, would rather have oaths and dock space

[magic locust]

This is my fleet for kawakaze meta

[viscid swift]

probably dead

[magic locust]

Are there any improvements

I'm gonna replace mushashi for biscuit zwei in her next rerun

[viscid swift]

have you got Eldridge retro

[magic locust]

Yeah I do

[viscid swift]

use her, otherwise your vanguard is gonna get wiped, she'll replace Chapayev

[magic locust]

Got that sucks chappy gets shafted already

In the ONLY destroyer meta

[viscid swift]

not like she was ever going to be meta for this anyway

even for DPS against light armor there many better options

[sweet delta]

Wait for Chapayev retrofit

[magic locust]

I'm waiting for pasta retrofits ngl surprise we haven't gotten one

[sweet delta]

~~Maybe they got sunk too quickly irl ~~

[magic locust]

What about the main fleet

I've been in and out UvH & Musashi

[sweet delta]

No Alsace?

[magic locust]

I started summer 2024, Strasbourg event

[sweet delta]

Then it'll just be lion fritz Bisz

[sweet delta]

Or Vanguard until you get bisz

Idk if Bisz will even be better than vanguard though. Alsace is best

[magic locust]

Bro I ain't getting her until next year lol

[sweet delta]

[slender turtle]

its it a bad idea to use implac if i have no other way to slow for my bb fleet?

[sweet delta]

bb fleet for what, opsi? Probably bad idea

[slender turtle]

for meta, not opsi

[sweet delta]

For kawakaze meta? It's a very bad idea considering that the boss already stops herself a lot

Use a damage UR like fritz instead

[slender turtle]

jsut dont have her mlb, or i would, jsut desperate for any cc

or maybe im just f'ing the whole fleet up really

[sweet delta]

Again, you don't need cc against kawakaze meta

[slender turtle]

gotcha, i'll just use fdg or something then, since i dont have fritz mlb

[topaz smelt]

You run eld anyways and she's more than enough

[slender turtle]

dont have eldridge item, started playing on the amagi cv event

[sweet delta]

No raffello either?

[slender turtle]

i have raff mlb 125

[sweet delta]

Idk if you're already using her but she's certainly better than fdg

[slender turtle]

gotcha, i would be using lion,raff,vanguard in the main fleet then

[shell willow]

does anyone know if fritz's slow only checks for pulling effect when its applied or constantly?

[solemn needle]

what is cruise mission voucher

[distant rivet]

anyone got the link to the gear guide?

[soft raft]

[swift hornet]

If I only have one available Tenrai, does haku get it over shinano

also which augment does haku use

[soft raft]

i just give all CVs the staff thingy
the purple augments are pretty whatever

[hallow cloak]

Is there a way to make the auto actually auto

[ivory pawn]

Yes, go to settings and turn on "Reduce TB Guidance".

It's Settings > Options > scroll down 2-3 sections iirc.

[hallow cloak]

Oh right, forgot to do that after reinstall

Thanks

[weak moat]

How many more hrs do I have until lion banner is gone

[ivory pawn]

28-30 hours remaining. Can't remember the exact reset time, but it's around then.

[sweet delta]

Is 70 Trafalgar vouchers the minimum number to buy to get to 500?

[ivory pawn]

I think so, had to buy 70 and I'm pretty sure I haven't missed any.

[deep totem]

is there a requirement for high tower SP stage? i cant access it after clear A&B
or do you need clear hard mode?

[ivory pawn]

Need to clear D3, that's it. Aka B3's hard mode.

[deep totem]

i see, thank you

[whole crypt]

remind me are there any easy to access IJN tanks

earlier than Azuma I'm doing Ibuki grind

Takao it is I guess...

[storm olive]

what are your medal options

[whole crypt]

BB and BB

[stark quiver]

You made an alt?

[storm olive]

i was gonna say yukikaze but

[whole crypt]

my almost 3 week old CN acc

[sweet delta]

Have you beaten hard arbiter and chapter 15?

[whole crypt]

no

been lazy with OS and just unlocked 12

by large a coin and gear issue

[stark quiver]

How did nnt make a cn acc

[whole crypt]

I know the hoops

[paper ore]

congratz on being rank 1 on EX by 1 point

[whole crypt]

then gets flagged by yostar again

[stark quiver]

Run it back

[whole crypt]

making an account on CN isn't hard it's just troublesome

including real name regs that some people may not be comfortable doing

[elfin hollow]

can cleopatra replace laffey

[whole crypt]

not worth the cost to

[elfin hollow]

i mean they are almost at same level

what will it cost me after level

bullin tier difference?

[whole crypt]

bulin and LB costs different, but Laffey will have additional costs for retrofit

just pick one and stick with it until you get actually better options

[stark quiver]

Don’t you need to upload your id or something

[whole crypt]

yes

I'm not advocating for anything, if you feel that would be a problem just don't bother with CN, you're not missing anything

[stark quiver]

You made it for early update no?

[whole crypt]

I made it so that I can play AL when waiting for JP maint

[stark quiver]

Addict

[eager mulch]

[stone sluice]

I don’t remember what is to be commander lvl 30 but, they can’t?
They get around 5k from 60 event sorties. The hot springs help to recover their morale.

[bright glen]

What torp and gun should I put on Maggiore Baracca?

[stark quiver]

Bidder or g7e , any gun

[lunar garden]

hello, any tips for newbie?

[stark quiver]

Or no gun at all, because if your sub needs a gun, you’re in a rather questionable situation

[bright glen]

Lmfao. Btw, is there any reason to use 1 G7e and 1 Bidder?

[stark quiver]

Idk, , but 6 bidder takes some time to get and g7e is more accessible

[whole crypt]

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

[stark quiver]

Also here’s a tip, if you wanna get bidders fast, do lvl 65 sub raid

[bright glen]

I have enough mats to craft 9 Bidders, so I assume 2 Bidders for Maggiore?

[stark quiver]

That works

[bright glen]

Alright, thanks

[still tulip]

I see
Thanks

[weak moat]

is it worth keeping tier 3 ships?

[severe tinsel]

Uh guys, help. My ships start to dying when clear 10-1. The stage start to get difficult. Is there anything I should upgrade?

[undone saffron]

Chat is warspite goated?

[wind hazel]

sounds like gear issue

show your gear

[severe tinsel]

Wait

[stark quiver]

No

[forest palm]

Lion isn't MLB, and you're probably getting burned a lot

[soft raft]

Currently no not really outside of one specific comp in #pvp
She's been outdated since like 2019, but who knows how much her unique augment will change things

[undone saffron]

Awh

[forest palm]

Warspite is getting a UE so you can cope on that...

[undone saffron]

Hope it does since i bought her stupid her retrofit item lmao

[undone saffron]

Im coping🙏🙏

[severe tinsel]

Ik, I save my rainbow bulin, if I were get more lion from gacha.

[soft raft]

why the hell are you rolling for dupes

[wind hazel]

im still waiting

[soft raft]

keep in mind Bismarck Zwei rerun is basically confirmed at this point for this month

[wind hazel]

maybe still rolling for cleo or gallant, who knows, don't assume

maybe he has 146103123 cubes

[severe tinsel]

Daily quest. I roll daily quest build at event banner

[soft raft]

do that on the light banner instead

[severe tinsel]

Ok

[soft raft]

you already got Lion which was basically the main event of this banner, no real need to continue pulling event banner after that

[wind hazel]

use better CL gun for Lion, change saratoga DB to helldivers, give cruisers eva+toolkit, double toolkit on z23

[severe tinsel]

Ok. Better save for Zwei?

[limpid elk]

The 76mm aa gun is hot garbage and so is the 25mm on Portland

[wind hazel]

and uh, better gun for sandy...

[severe tinsel]

Ok

[soft raft]

Yes
especially if you lack 400 cubes

[severe tinsel]

No have, I don't have material to research better gun, that's faster gun I have for sandy

[severe tinsel]

Ok

[wind hazel]

surely you have something like this

[soft raft]

76mm may be the fastest yes but it has basically no damage output at all

[severe tinsel]

It's good for sandy?

[soft raft]

That's not something Sandy wants, her barrages aren't cracked enough and her firepower not shit enough to justify running 76mm

[severe tinsel]

Ok

[wind hazel]

poverty

[severe tinsel]

😭

Ok thanks guys

[wind hazel]

poverty build

use fire extinguisher on your backline if you run into burning issue

but shouldn't be at w10, more on w11

[severe tinsel]

Ok

[steady vigil]

hmm, which dido do you guys think gets the biggest bang for your buck from dido?

scylla probably?

[stark quiver]

Scylla

[steady vigil]

how good is cleo compared to scylla?

[wind hazel]

scylla is way better lol, not even a comparison

[steady vigil]

scylla is the best dido by a significant margin?

[wind hazel]

dps wise, but not meta pick wise

dont look at the ship class, look at them individually

[steady vigil]

I've decided to figure out what fleets I can make using only waifus

[wind hazel]

😭

[steady vigil]

basically the entire dido class are my favorites, no tanks though so I have to figure out who goes where

[slender linden]

how good is Richieleu

[wind hazel]

my waifu fleet is full UR

[sweet delta]

Sirius has the most endgame use, Scylla is decent sometimes, the rest of them look pretty

[steady vigil]

yes I'm very carefully optimizing where I place my terrible purple CLs

[slender linden]

just get Formidable skin so you get them all on 1 pic

[steady vigil]

am I correct to conclude that none of the didos are durable enough to offtank in a serious fleet?

[soft raft]

Pretty decent all things considered
But of course doesnt really hold up against UR BBs and the stronger SR BBs

[stark quiver]

They can offtank in most content, usually stick your dd or sth in the middle

[steady vigil]

you mean my other dido

how difficult is it to oneshot meta bosses?

[wind hazel]

require hefty investment

[steady vigil]

well I have like 4 years of gold plates saved up so I can do anything

I meant like do you need lion meta units to do it, or can you do it with some well-curated garbage

[stark quiver]

Meta, this new boss very stronk, if no eld retro, you will likely die

[wind hazel]

you need very specific ships

[steady vigil]

ok back to ignoring it then

very cool and well designed gameplay, as expected of azur lane

[viscid swift]

She's okay

[stark quiver]

She’s good for buffing Alsace
In one specific content

[severe tinsel]

Turns out I'm more poor. I can't get 3 more twin 113mm AA gun. I also can't get 2 533mm torpedo and 2 more twin 120mm gun. Where shoul I farm it?

[viscid swift]

Don't, just open more tech boxes and make do with what you have in the meantime

[severe tinsel]

Is purple tech box ok to open?

And how do I get gold box?

[wind hazel]

from campaign grinding, event shop, etc

[severe tinsel]

Purple box can't craft to gold?

[wind hazel]

coincidentally they start dropping at where you are stuck now

[severe tinsel]

Oh

[steady vigil]

ok I've decided I want extra info, what is it about the way meta bosses are designed that they become a check for specific units?

is it intentionally designed that way to push/justify powercreep and the gacha, or is it just coincidence as they try to make more challenging content?

[viscid swift]

Uhh

They have huge amounts of HP and there are only a relatively small combo of ships that can actually dish out enough damage

Also in the case of Kawakaze META, she wipes your vanguard if you don't have someone like Eldridge retro

[steady vigil]

okay so if I'm using assorted trash then 2-shotting is a very reasonable goal, but 1-shotting is impossible unless you have something that counters the boss's gimmick?

[viscid swift]

I mean

Depends on what this "trash" is

For this meta if your vanguard doesn't survive for a reasonably long time 2 shooting might not even be all that easy

[steady vigil]

I don't have anything that gives vanguard immunity, but I have some pretty tanky vanguards

[viscid swift]

Anyway, most of the recent metas have largely been damage checks

So it's less about countering the gimmick just can you deal enough damage in the allotted time

[steady vigil]

I remember a while back there was one that kills your main fleet unless you have two AA carries

[viscid swift]

What

I don't recall such an meta fight

[topaz smelt]

It's just been using the ur that comes out with it

[viscid swift]

I guess hornet but you didn't need 2 AA carries

[forest palm]

lmk when you find a 100% consistent one shot on Meta fights

[stark quiver]

I have a consistent one shot fleet at 2 days left of meta season

[forest palm]

sounds like a creaky wheel chair

[steady vigil]

ok so meta oneshot is minmaxer stretch goal?

[viscid swift]

Alpha your skill issue at managing plates is not an excuse

[atomic abyss]

Yes

Or at least

[swift hornet]

for OPSi setting, what does auto use items during Autoplay do exactly

[stark quiver]

I will have you know that my plates are well spent

[atomic abyss]

Not something most above average players can achieve

[viscid swift]

says the person looking to +13 a 460 right as we start a light META showdown

[forest palm]

again though even the best fleets you can make for a given meta aren't going to 100% one shot them

[atomic abyss]

At that fucking point

Even +11-ing a mk6 seems more worth

[stark quiver]

[storm olive]

omw to +11 my mk6

[steady vigil]

has toolkit been powercrept by anything or i it still a meta vnaguard aux?

[stark quiver]

Uhm it’s unrivaled in terms of what it does (?)

Idk ask mebot or something

[steady vigil]

xd

[atomic abyss]

The purple tokens and the energy storage devices

[topaz smelt]

Literally the 1st comp I tried

[atomic abyss]

As a healing item it's not directly powercrept

[dark lotus]

How to deal suicde bombers

[swift hornet]

it doesn't buy out the pop up shops for you right

[atomic abyss]

Your BB's secondary guns

[atomic abyss]

Correct, it doesn't

[dark lotus]

What is good gun for that

[atomic abyss]

Depends on which world you're in
Before chap14
Even a gold triple 155 works
Lacking which you can use a purple twin 152 or purple twin 150 (latter shd be prioritised on frontliners first if you lack anything better)

If you're using a US BB or HMS BC well...

Purple twin 120 at minimum

They're not gonna do as well

[zenith heron]

Can roon be used as a main Tank for vanguard? or she isn't durable enough to be one?

[stark quiver]

She’s a tank

[weak moat]

what is a good amount of mood to have for the dorm

[zenith heron]

good enough

[wind hazel]

as high as possible

[weak moat]

so just buy the set that gives the most mood?

thats gonna take a while

its like 3k or something like that

[wind hazel]

there's nothing else to use dorm token on, so just buy whatever that increases your dorm happiness

err, comfort..*

[weak moat]

also is tier 3 ships worth keeping or just retire

[viscid swift]

What exactly are T3 ships

[weak moat]

based on the https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home list

[viscid swift]

I mean a keep a copy of every ship

And ships from TN to EX can give good tech

[weak moat]

I do have a copy of each yes

wait what is tech

[viscid swift]

The permanent stat bonus ships give at level 120

[blissful hamlet]

Is datamine up now?

[viscid swift]

Hahahahahaha

[blissful hamlet]

Is it not main today?

[left parrot]

Tomorrow

[blissful hamlet]

I thought it's today

[left parrot]

Nah

[wind oxide]

tomorrow

[verbal torrent]

is there like a tier list for early game ships

[elfin hollow]

These will carry over next banner right

[wind hazel]

no

[elfin hollow]

Oh nooooo

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 i pulled for nothing

[soft raft]

Eh you at least gave it a shot
You'll live

[sweet delta]

You didn't pull for nothing. But you got nothing from your pulls

[elfin hollow]

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[soft raft]

I started like two weeks before Shimakaze's initial run and didn't get her and I was perfectly fine

By the time she reran two years later, I basically had no use for her

And even if you did get Lion, it would've taken a while to get her into a usable state anyways ngl

[wind hazel]

you mean like 1 month?

[topaz smelt]

i think like a week is realistic

[wind hazel]

tru

[balmy skiff]

who is the worst Priority ship in terms of how it performs in battle?

[soft raft]

Maybe, probably was
I forget how long exactly it was between Bremerton rerun and Shimakaze

[vale spindle]

brem rerun was EN anniversary that year
shimakaze was JP anni that year

so yes 1 month

[soft raft]

Ok so a month then
Yeah that sounds about right, iirc I had like 150 cubes at that point

[balmy skiff]

wait a second...
i never thought hal was worse than izumo

[wind hazel]

because halford has a bug

and izumo is decent with augment

[soft raft]

Halford's planes still behave like regular planes despite Halford being way further out in the front than the carriers

[balmy skiff]

so Halford is the worst PR ship ever now?

[sweet delta]

Halford is about as good as the retrofitted starter DDs Laffey Z23 Javelin

[glad mortar]

How long do I have till the event ends?

[forest palm]

about 25 hrs

[glad mortar]

Oh thank goodness I still have time, I was worried I wouldn't be able to get lions gear in time.

Anyways, should I worry about my shipgirls morale getting too low? Or should I just ignore it and keep grinding the event.

[red stag]

is maintenance in an hour or still tomorrow?

[wind hazel]

tomorrow

[wind oxide]

it get below 119 and you lose the 20% exp buff

[clear harbor]

Let me see if I understand the META Showdown correctly. I need to farm 100 META coordinates from OPSI to initiate a show down. Then I get points for damage or defeating the boss. Then I can try again when I've farmed another 100 META coordinates? or is there a cooldown periods? In any case, once I've earned enough sync points, I unlock the meta ship I've been fighting?

[topaz smelt]

ye, you can do a fight twice a day + 3 fights to help others

[atomic abyss]

Izumo got buffed (with her augment) to be one of the best SR BBs now
(Rip monarch)

She isn't in the discussion for worst PR anymore

She was when she released I guess

If you disregard halford hmm

It's probably one of the PR2 ships
Which one I can't say without looking at the numbers

[topaz smelt]

not rainbow = bad

[atomic abyss]

I mean even then

[wind oxide]

How?

[atomic abyss]

Improved barrage + improved proc rate

[sweet delta]

(with her augment)

[atomic abyss]

That said her barrage still sprays a lot so she isn't as good as dealing with bosses or elites as say Owari

@wind oxide

[wind oxide]

Ohh

[atomic abyss]

Monarch is arguably the worst of PR1 now

[fleet berry]

Also that quest only worth 300 points which is equivalent to a couple of event stage runs. I think my cube is more valuable than my oil...

[wind oxide]

her burn damage increase and duration is totally cut off?

[topaz smelt]

not like it was relevant in most content

[meager tiger]

the skin makes up for it

[atomic abyss]

Somehow they skipped giving her an augment

And (finally?) are giving warspite one instead

[tame jungle]

they didn't skip her just yet

if they decide to start giving the pr2 ships augments next, however...

[atomic abyss]

I mean I thought the rare HMS event and a skin would be enough but nope

[topaz smelt]

just another hms L

[lunar garden]

is there any active giftcode?

[stark quiver]

No

[lunar garden]

where can I find the giftcode when it has the new one?

[stark quiver]

Yostar store, it usually comes with a bought blu ray set

[lunar garden]

so if I want a code, I need to buy in this store but where it is

[stark quiver]

Just google it
But all the bought codes have expired I think
So if you buy a blu ray set, the code may not work

[lunar garden]

What should I buy?

[stark quiver]

Exp packs

[lunar garden]

can I ask what the 1 -> 6 items could be used for?

[sweet delta]

3rd is for choosing an SR ship, see the pin #gameplay-help message
1, 2, 4, 5, 6 are vanity items

[fierce lantern]

Where is the promise crate at.

[stark quiver]

Akashi shop

[lunar garden]

what all the rarity in the game?

[plain saffron]

N R E SR UR

Normal/common
Rare
Elite
Super rare
Ultra rare

[random pendant]

is sr main gun component on the event hard stage good?

[atomic abyss]

No

[eternal moth]

Best comp for kawa meta, fritz/Soyuz/nakh/ply/kaza/helena?

[topaz smelt]

prob lion/fritz/alsace or vanny or soy/ply or guam or z52/traf/eld

[eternal moth]

Huh, interesting. I'll have to look at gearing tomorrow morning, I'm too tired for figuring that out tonight

[wind oxide]

Wishing well is a scam fr
i get URs instead of the one i wish for lmao

[tame jungle]

ok

[topaz smelt]

its just whatever 4 strike

[eternal moth]

We tell people to only roll on it if you have a lot of excess cubes.

[wind oxide]

Yea i have pretty much excess cubes

[eternal moth]

Do you have over 1k?

[tame jungle]

how much is "excess" in your case

[topaz smelt]

excess being like >1k

[wind oxide]

yea

[stark quiver]

20

[tame jungle]

2 cubes

[wind oxide]

Seems like i aint getting volga

[stark quiver]

[paper ore]

for now

[wind oxide]

Well cube was never a problem for me
Coin was the problem

[warped tartan]

Hello guys! How do I unlock sp stage in the event?

[tame jungle]

beat D3

[warped tartan]

Ah sheesh

Can't beat that yet

[white bronze]

What is the use of these

And where do you use these

[wind oxide]

gear lab

to make gears

[white bronze]

I cant find the gears for these

[sinful escarp]

operation siren, just stockpile everything you get from it

[gleaming storm]

Is Hms Drake worth going for?

[sinful escarp]

dont keep crafting gear lab equipment, most of them are not worth it

[wind oxide]

you wont use those much anyway
you'll be using the gold and the rainbow

[white bronze]

Do they even have a use?

[stark quiver]

Only if you wanna the tech pts

[wind oxide]

crafting gears

[gleaming storm]

Is there a ship I should try going for in PR

[molten zinc]

damn the pressure on tier 14 Kawakaze, I guess Traf and Eldridge retro is hard lock then

[versed forum]

should I continue gambling for Aquila? already have 450 cubes left

[tame jungle]

no

[sinful escarp]

nah, bis2 rerun is soon

save those cubes for that event

[stark quiver]

You could

[gleaming storm]

How u know that?

[molten zinc]

JP patch note

[sinful escarp]

guess work by a lot of people here

[molten zinc]

they said Bis2 rerun happen on next week m.t

[wind oxide]

there's tickets anyway

[tame jungle]

just not worth it for aquila

opportunity cost too high

[gleaming storm]

Who's better Bis2 or Lion?

[molten zinc]

do you have Zuihou?

[versed forum]

none

[stark quiver]

You can go into bis zwei rerun with 312 cubes and be able to pity her
It’s your choice to pull for Aquila
Keep in mind next month might bring ryza rerun

[sinful escarp]

wonder if we will get new ships. hopefully yeah so i can finally have a full ryza fleet for opsi mobbing

[white bronze]

Cant find where to use it in gear lab the t1 ordinance

[molten zinc]

German fighter, those Fw109 need them

[tame jungle]

don't just go crafting shit btw, bad habit

[sinful escarp]

especially gear lab equipment. A LOT of them are not worth it

[paper walrus]

staags aside how do these compare to quad bofors

[tame jungle]

not worth

[topaz smelt]

poverty / filler

[paper walrus]

🙏

[sinful escarp]

this one is the AA for BB

this one is the budget version of it

[atomic abyss]

Lion

[topaz smelt]

next generation of powercreep

[wind oxide]

real

[zenith heron]

took 2 years or less, but its normal for UR BBs

[paper walrus]

do we have any idea when will dr5 be coinable

[molten zinc]

next year

around LNY

[paper walrus]

🙏

[visual bane]

do you know when pr8 comes out?

[slow fox]

anchorage mentioned

[verbal torrent]

guys which one should i get

[whole crypt]

Hood if you don't have a good BB, the rest are pretty much tech/collection fodder

[verbal torrent]

okay thanks!

[worldly cairn]

Bismarck rerun this week or next week?

[verbal torrent]

next week

[deft kettle]

trash?

[stark quiver]

Only good for 120 tech

[fiery swan]

Will excess villa coin eventually convert to regular coin

[wind oxide]

NO

[thorny field]

Any ways to level up commander faster (no p2w)

[onyx chasm]

Do I wanna get the second copy of trafalgar or just get tech boxes

[sharp socket]

grind full fleet at the highest level world you can

[stark quiver]

2nd copy always

[wind oxide]

grind stages with oil cap

[thorny field]

Highest for highest exp?

[sharp socket]

yes'

[tame jungle]

this dude started like yesterday i doubt they got any oil cap worlds

i'd rather advise you do event and get as many event points as possible instead

[tame jungle]

can you do D1

[tame jungle]

or is it too difficult

[thorny field]

No idea what its

[tame jungle]

D1 literally on your screen here lol

[thorny field]

Oh didnt try yet

I was like using only 2 ship to farm B3

Like 300 oil for a game

Wait not 300 idk

[tame jungle]

problem with that is that you won't get a lot of commander xp

it's alright tbh early game is a bit of a copefest anyways

[muted swift]

Quick question, who should I get? I am trying to get every SR of each month

[thorny field]

This is reason why i dont give a try

Is it worth it give exp to unicorn

[stark quiver]

Is 15s clear time for c5 bad

[cobalt rapids]

secured?

[paper ore]

you will also need a 2nd fleet

[stark quiver]

No

[cobalt rapids]

no its not bad

[thorny field]

I can clear all

[whole crypt]

if the fight ends at 2:45 that's pretty fair, assuming no bullet time

[thorny field]

Why a hard mode need EVA req

[whole crypt]

hard mode stat reqs are arbitrary obstacles

[jaunty tartan]

Fleet recommendations pls

[onyx chasm]

Yes

[thorny field]

Build lion get 2 pencil?

[onyx chasm]

What?

[whole crypt]

how many shells do you have now

[undone plover]

usually white shell (pencil) + high performance fire control rader is used most of the time
but u can do white + black as well sometimes

[thorny field]

None now

[whole crypt]

for what content

[jaunty tartan]

Story

[whole crypt]

just buy a white

[thorny field]

Oh wait i did have 1 forgot

[onyx chasm]

Idk if i'm gonna make it in time

[whole crypt]

what chapter

[thorny field]

Increase crit dmg 15%

[whole crypt]

in time for what

[thorny field]

So i gonna get the black 1 ?

[onyx chasm]

The end of the event?

[whole crypt]

the shop one is better and you'll need more for multiple BBs anyway just buy white

[thorny field]

Ngl for me yes 7days enough

[whole crypt]

you know you don't have to buyout the entire shop right?

[onyx chasm]

Never said I did... Idk if the sc is clear but you should be able to see the 2nd traf copy right?

[whole crypt]

shop is up another week but grinding is over tomorrow

[jaunty tartan]

8

[whole crypt]

you don't need second copy though

[onyx chasm]

Kinda do

[thorny field]

Wyw me to buy in shop 1 i only need money for tier 2 lion

[jaunty tartan]

Do repeat sortie until oil runs out

[thorny field]

Oh lol the lion gone so the rose also damn

[onyx chasm]

Yh ik until I get hit with low morale or wtv

[whole crypt]

a lot of effort for half a month's bulins

[jaunty tartan]

Use the bath on villa event

[onyx chasm]

Oh yeah

[jaunty tartan]

Its very useful for grind 24/7

If you had bunch oil

[whole crypt]

you only have enough core data for 1 shell anyway just get a white shell

[onyx chasm]

Where is it again? (Nvm)

[verbal torrent]

guys is san francisco good?

[jaunty tartan]

Villa event, the pop up right beside on collab event

[verbal torrent]

how do u grind 24/7

[thorny field]

Ty alot

[jaunty tartan]

If i had a bunch of oil, not rlly grind 24/7 but when weekend i js got 1 hour sleep to grind

[verbal torrent]

i mean, isnt sorties limited to 3?

[jaunty tartan]

Ye, after done i press continue

[verbal torrent]

so u setup like an afk farm? smthn like that?

btw is san fransisco good? im at early game stage should i use her

[jaunty tartan]

Nope, fully manual. Im a mobile player

[ionic kraken]

how does the sp in the event work? do i need to clear all ships to spawn the boss?

[jaunty tartan]

Im not a pro

[verbal torrent]

oh i see

[whole crypt]

for the record macros are against EN ToS

[verbal torrent]

ohhh

[crisp raven]

7 mob kills to spawn the boss. boss would then be 8th fight

[verbal torrent]

thanks for that info

[ionic kraken]

thank you! i was worried i'd have to clear the map

[split bramble]

what does extra meta crystal turn into?

[whole crypt]

frags for meta shop

[verbal torrent]

is san fransisco good for early game?

[whole crypt]

she's decent if you don't need your bulins elsewhere

[split bramble]

alright so its pretty useless ok

[verbal torrent]

oh i see thanks

how do yall farm oil

[weak moat]

sorry guys how many hrs before lion banner is gone

i need to rush and grind coins lol

[stark quiver]

Tbf it’s good for buying gold meta books
Not like we use metas

[wind oxide]

21 hours

[weak moat]

Oh that’s quite long

Wait but isn’t 11/6 today or different time zone

[fair lance]

It's at the maintenance at the end of today. So for EST it's 3 am

[barren token]

what are some good vanguard ships to invest in for Kawakaze META? / has anyone oneshotted stage 14 yet?

[remote yarrow]

I'm using this setup (credits to Riceist) (no oaths needed)

[verbal torrent]

dif timezone prolly

[verbal torrent]

all ur? DAMN

[weak moat]

Gotcha

[remote yarrow]

Well yeah, oneshots require good ship and +13 gear

[stark quiver]

Nice setup smoothie

[rough slate]

Are those can be beaten only after reset?

[weak moat]

So technically I have about 20 hrs to build 16 more ships right

[fair lance]

iirc yes only when you first time clear per month.

[remote yarrow]

20:30 hrs

[rough slate]

Oki, thanks, guess no speedrun 100% before finale

[stark quiver]

How’s your tech looking like @remote yarrow

[split bramble]

i maxed everything, well not the new meta but like every other meta ships lol

[remote yarrow]

Max RLD BB tech and 30 CV it's better with max RLD on both

[sharp echo]

do i always equip 2 homing torp or mix with non homing?

[remote yarrow]

Homing always better

[whole crypt]

stig may disagree but that's stig

[stark quiver]

I too just one shot lvl 14 but I do not know if I can do the same for lvl 15
I had to go down to the 4th salvo to get the last 7 bars
It’s jover

[weak moat]

Is it worth getting the UR gun from the event shop

[honest sequoia]

very much

[remote yarrow]

Always get the Gear in events

[dreamy blade]

it's the most important thing there to buy

[whole crypt]

will let you know how we're faring against t15 in about 5 hours

[stark quiver]

Don’t worry, I have a plan

[stark quiver]

How any the other hit and fp avi

[whole crypt]

no one cares about your plans

[remote yarrow]

BB 43FP 24Hit, CV 39 AVI 14Hit

And I'm running out of Chips only 7k left

[ornate narwhal]

Help me make a 2nd fleet

[rough slate]

Call me a madman, but these girls will soon be deployed to the center of map, if only I had better ships

[tame jungle]

your low level fleets are gonna get rolled

[remote yarrow]

By center of the map you mean Arbiter? Normal Arbiter you can just zerg it, but I doubt this can beat Harby

[rough slate]

I meant, that I've helped brits in NE, but...

[onyx chasm]

What even is this?

[remote yarrow]

Lv 14 Meta fight

[onyx chasm]

Ah

[remote yarrow]

Is written there

[rough slate]

Gimme freaking Musashi, and then I'll try to give em a fight

[turbid dawn]

Is there a better choice then Alsace for this meta fight? She doesn’t seem to be pulling her weight

[remote yarrow]

Zwei if you got her I guess

[rough slate]

Who should I up in Dorm?

[whole crypt]

she's doing fine, Lion's just broken

[stark quiver]

Meanie

[remote yarrow]

Plus she's doing even more damage because of Ply's flag buff

[whole crypt]

for comparison

[remote yarrow]

non mlb Trafalgar?

[stark quiver]

Traf missing a star
Are you really waiting till last minute to get that dupe

[whole crypt]

I actually just got that dupe, and have completely forgotten that I haven't MLB'd traf

and I was just cursing the game for making me claim the dupe in events

[stark quiver]

I sure wish I had max texh

[crisp raven]

nntktt is right, i do care about your plans. please elaborate 🙂

[rough slate]

lvl 12...

[whole crypt]

but I haven't maxed my tech

[warped acorn]

does the siren stronghold stacks?

[whole crypt]

(that's missing KawakazeM, not MLB/120 Grenville M, not 120 Gallant and Cleo)

[whole crypt]

map shows 3 at most, if you get more with weekly reset they get "queued" until you clear up existing ones

[crisp raven]

in a way, yes. only 3 will appear on the map, but the rest will populate once you clear one and reenter opsi. you can hold all of the strongholds for the month and do them back to back if you wish

[rough slate]

Alt

[warped acorn]

damn so u may get alot at a time when u decided to do them

[verbal torrent]

guys why am i not getting any urgent comissions, i have been farming 2-1 for quite a while now, shouldnt it be stocking up?

[stark quiver]

Another one dies to kimo
It’s not a consistent way, better to just farm at a usual farm spot or your highest stage

[remote yarrow]

Please stop grinding 2-1 commissions for gems, it's outdated and a huge waste of oil and time, it was only a thing back in the days where you got oil from retiring ships and even then it was a huge time sink

[rough slate]

Maybe I just replace Bismacrk with NJ?

[verbal torrent]

well what should i do now

[whole crypt]

just grind event/campaign normally

[verbal torrent]

i dont have oil

[remote yarrow]

Anything else that isn't grinding 2-1, push campaign or play the event

[whole crypt]

then just take a break

[verbal torrent]

okay thanks

[remote yarrow]

I wonder why

[whole crypt]

AL is a resource management marathon

[stark quiver]

Is nj max mlb

Well yes then

[whole crypt]

so as it turns out yes I did forget to MLB Trafalgar the whole time
no need to worry about what to do with the dupe then

[rough slate]

Yep, but no good golden gun

[whole crypt]

Mk6 is fine

[remote yarrow]

Btw where did you get the 2-1 grind idea from? If it was from Kimocheese, I and others would recommend not taking his advice seriously

[whole crypt]

it doesn't matter who said it the strat is completely outdated and stupid

[verbal torrent]

it was, ironically from kimocheese

[rough slate]

Only like this + not full skills

[whole crypt]

I don't know if kimo still recommends it but just don't do it anymore

[wind hazel]

the gun is good, but remove the augment

[remote yarrow]

Most likely an outdated video

[verbal torrent]

just got back playing this game from 4 years ago and still thought the method works 💀

[whole crypt]

it barely worked 4 years ago

[remote yarrow]

you poor soul

[whole crypt]

even back then there was no serious recommendations to do it

[rough slate]

Like this?

[verbal torrent]

i was so clueless then, and now im starting fresh on a new acc

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1272511059520913418/1277415641153933383/image0.gif

[wind hazel]

i assume you dont have better dd and aa gun

[severe tinsel]

when zwei banner show up?

[rough slate]

Dawn right

[fair lance]

19th

[wind hazel]

use twin 128, and gold aa gun

[severe tinsel]

damn good gun, i cant even afford poverty gear

[forest palm]

just crack some boxes

[rough slate]

Boxes, recommended T4 and T5

I'm not risking SD's Bofforses

[forest palm]

T5 boxes are so ass...

[remote yarrow]

But cranes

[forest palm]

you can get a lot of basic gear from T3 and T4 if you know how to thrift

[raw ravine]

which one should I claim?

[whole crypt]

is Shinano MLB?

[rough slate]

no

[raw ravine]

yep those two are both mlb

[whole crypt]

then take VG

[raw ravine]

ooo any reason why vg over shima and croissant?

[whole crypt]

Kronshtadt and Shimakaze more powercrept

[raw ravine]

ah, not good anymore/worth mlb-ing?

[whole crypt]

not priority

[raw ravine]

okei, cool!

gonna work on drake, and vg next~

[storm olive]

They are just as good as when they released, just other ships got better

[raw ravine]

ahh I see

[winter quartz]

Just mlb'd Trafalgar, who to replace for her?

[raw ravine]

for pushing 14/15 vg still good choice over others?

[storm olive]

Replace

[rough slate]

Now that's bit better

[severe tinsel]

i already open 200 t4 box and about 50 gold box, no stuff i want

i got poo poo

[forest palm]

I highly doubt you got fuck all

[remote yarrow]

Doubt you didn't get at least a couple decent guns from that many boxes tbh

[severe tinsel]

i really didnt get any poverty build gear at very least

[forest palm]

[severe tinsel]

lemme ss

[rough slate]

Here I come, the last of 6 Pearl's nightmares

[whole crypt]

I believe him because my CN account still doesn't have a 76mm

[trim otter]

The quest 8 sticker A rose high tower what is that ??

[rough slate]

Which?

[trim otter]

Oh where do u find this page ?

[rough slate]

Memories - Commemorative album

[severe tinsel]

i mostly got blue gear from purple box and most purple gear from gold box

[rough slate]

Same

[remote yarrow]

Some of those are decent placeholder/poverty options

[severe tinsel]

well bare minimum use...

[remote yarrow]

You gotta start from somewhere

[severe tinsel]

😦

[forest palm]

people really gotta learn rarity isn't always necessarily better

[severe tinsel]

ik, but i got random gear mostly

[forest palm]

except you didn't...

[severe tinsel]

gear that i dont even know good or not

[severe tinsel]

there is good one among those?

how to know gear is good or not?

[whole crypt]

purple helldiver good
purple corsair good
purple AVI aux will be placeholder until you get gold catapults

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

[rough slate]

What do you think of this Franken-UR fleet?

[severe tinsel]

i lack good aa and gun, other is quite goog. (but the goog stuff already got b4 open boxes)

[rough slate]

Yeah, cursed AF

I need Agir, and Nyackhimov

[fair lance]

You also have 5? not mlb ships.

[whole crypt]

gun for what hull class

AA is kind of whatever before ch13

[severe tinsel]

dd main gun and ca second gun, and 3 more good aa gun

[whole crypt]

are you doing something that actually needs AA more than just having carriers with not-shit fighters

[severe tinsel]

hmm, nor tly need that good of aa i guess

[whole crypt]

DD guns just cope with whatever honestly

[severe tinsel]

ok

how about ca second gun?

[whole crypt]

CA secondary guns are just DD guns just cope all the same

[severe tinsel]

ok

so use whatever is ok.

[whole crypt]

early on yeh

[severe tinsel]

until have better alternative

[whole crypt]

DD guns are only a very small part of your overall DPS early on anyway

[severe tinsel]

ok, got it

[storm olive]

Is traf > aurora Vs kawa meta (assuming BB flag ofc)

[orchid copper]

when you have a light armor dd boss Aurora>anything

[whole crypt]

I'd take Trafalgar if Lion is there

[severe tinsel]

why lion there affect trafalgar?

[warped acorn]

even others like alsace dont benefit from traf than aurora?

[storm olive]

Traf buffs HMS ships

[severe tinsel]

ohh

[whole crypt]

Trafalgar has a strong HMS buff and Lion has huge ass numbers

also Plymouth if you're using here alongside

[storm olive]

I do intend to run ply tank if she survives long enough with eldkai

[outer cedar]

is hindenburg not enhancable using coin?

[barren token]

won't be until LNY Feb 2027

[outer cedar]

:Despair:

[whole crypt]

either you focus PR6 or just ignore her for now

[outer cedar]

literally fell to my knees

[whole crypt]

you're only like 1/3 the way

[outer cedar]

i only have kms techpoint

[whole crypt]

that's not relevant, the point is what you pick for resarch projects

[outer cedar]

aight

[elfin hollow]

do you guys think if i can get trafalgar before the time runs out

at least 1

[orchid copper]

PR6 is not a bad choice to start with considering they are all pretty good beside the dd

[severe tinsel]

prob can if farm stage with tons oil

event stage

[whole crypt]

you only need like 3k more to buy the vouchers but honestly if you can reach 10k I'd buy gun first

[stark quiver]

Maint is this upcoming reset?

[remote yarrow]

Should be

[oak cipher]

Yabai, NJ in Private quarter ?

[fleet berry]

It might depend on their current situation, but isn't having Traf at this time (when the event almost done) is more worthwhile than the gun? Since at least Traf can be used in more cases than the gun itself.

[crisp raven]

go into the events tab and check the traf exchange missions. you might have a few more you can complete thatll make the last push grind a bit easier

[elfin hollow]

alright i will look into these but i cant access some of the stages i need to progress more

[wind hazel]

is the gun really the play here, i'd get the ship

[crisp raven]

no worries. def better to make sure than not. any little bit to possibly help the grind

[orchid copper]

MK7 is far more than enough

[whole crypt]

I thought of that but BisZwei rerun coming up, and also just for Lion herself, you're not going to really be LBing and using Trafalgar for a good while

[wind hazel]

yeah same thinking lol

[whole crypt]

a new player isn't going to be making Mk7s

[paper ore]

How much CV and BB reload do I need to get a 4th airstrike/salvo for the meta fights

[fleet berry]

I do agree, but at least having Traf ready to limit break is more useful than the gun. Even though Mk7 might not doable for a while, we recommend Mk6 most of the time anyway.

[wind hazel]

but they can make mk7 in the future, faster than waiting for traf rerun

[whole stag]

guys need help in making 2 fleets in opsi

[orchid copper]

MK6 is enough for early stage and cost way less than any UR bbguns

[stark quiver]

Max

[whole crypt]

I value having a second MkII when rerun comes round more than having Trafalgar first but it's not a definite answer

[paper ore]

damn. I guess i know what im grinding for the forseeable future then

[whole crypt]

having Trafalgar has its advantages

[stark quiver]

A lot of modern comps don’t 4 strike
Mainly because it requires full oaths on back line

[paper ore]

i plan on oathing all the UR ships atleast

[fleet berry]

Yeah, that's fair. I think Traf is more useful at least until the rerun; her buff is still useful for new-ish players.

I think at least Mk7 can fill MkII purposes even in two years or so. Without oathing, you still need autoloader to consistently hit 4-salvo anyway.

[paper ore]

except Azuma and Drake

[whole crypt]

well just as a matter of ship options Laffey II and Z52 will also rerun between now and when Lion/Traf reruns

[stark quiver]

UR frontline don’t need oaths

[whole crypt]

the biggest advantage of taking Trafalgar now is you don't need to wait 2 years to make a Lion/Traf comp

[paper ore]

laffey should be this year right? since its after unzen

🔮

[whole crypt]

likely late Jan

the event slot was Dec/Jan and the reruns are tending in 2 years right after that slot

CNY next year is mid-late Feb as well so the rerun likely won't be pushed that far off

[swift hornet]

Do we know what rerun is after bismark zwei

[fleet berry]

Well, you decide then, kekw. There are two routes. Get the gun like nntktt said or get Traf first. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, since UR bullins are limited anyway.

[paper ore]

for UR it should be unzen

[elfin hollow]

can traf replace helena

[boreal temple]

helena is a buffer, while traf is a rainbow ship, they do different things

[fleet berry]

Traf debuff enemy EVA rate though, which increases damage dealt.

[whole crypt]

Traf is also a buffer/debuffer, the odds are you'll use both in a boss fleet as a newer player

[boreal temple]

so she replaces aurora instead then?

[fleet berry]

If your flagship is a BB/BC/BBV.

[elfin hollow]

if i get traf right now who will be going to be replaced here

[fleet berry]

You can run something like Tank/Traf/Helena.

[tame jungle]

easily cleopatra

[elfin hollow]

oh no

[boreal temple]

as a new player helena carries her weight a lot by giving you that extra amount of dmg because of her scans, unlike us that are quite stacked now that we can safely drop her for someone else

[tame jungle]

yeah it's tragic, i also wished she would be good but alas

[elfin hollow]

i like cleopatra so much i might get the gun

[fleet berry]

Max LB your LAgir, btw. Also BRS.

[boreal temple]

with or without traf you will be replacing her soon enough

[fleet berry]

You can also just keep Trafalgar. You need at least two fleets in W10+.

[fair lance]

With what the fleet looks like I doubt they have the UR bulins to mlb her anyways

[elfin hollow]

well that makes sense i dont have second fleet

[whole crypt]

I'm 1-fleeting up to ch12 with Lion

[fleet berry]

I mean, up to you. If you're not at W10+ yet, you want to stick with a single fleet anyway.

[boreal temple]

next reset is the end of the event right? or do we have one more reset I forgor

[fair lance]

Will be the end

[whole crypt]

next reset is end

[chilly plaza]

Reset?

[fleet berry]

Your fleet works fine until then. Just make sure to level and MLB your ships.

[boreal temple]

[fair lance]

They meant maintenance.

[chilly plaza]

Oh

I thought the event ended on the 18th?

[fleet berry]

I'm raising second Lion and LII after this.

[raw ravine]

in a few hours it ends

[boreal temple]

what tech do we get from cleo

[chilly plaza]

Damn…

[fair lance]

Nope ends today and then a week later is Zwei

[chilly plaza]

Ohhhh

[fleet berry]

11th is when the event ends. 18th is when the event shop disappears.

[whole crypt]

for EN it's in like another 18-19 hours

[woven star]

Traf at oath and max dd rld tech close to 0.5 rld on 113 without any aux.. so.. but yeah, not necessarily

[chilly plaza]

Ok, that explains the confusion… Welp, Trafalgar will be stuck at level 70 for a while I guess

[boreal temple]

ah so it doesn't really matter if I missed her

[whole crypt]

CN and JP is up to maintenance tomorrow so another... 13+ hours for CN and around 16 hours for JP

[fleet berry]

Eh, UR doesn't need limit break to reach Lv100, unlike your peasant regular ships. You can go to 125 at LB0, but you should not.

[boreal temple]

man why is it always the SRs that are hard to get

[chilly plaza]

Ohhh

So I can have 2 max Lions, just 1 won’t be broken

[boreal temple]

raising dupes is a waste of time

[chilly plaza]

That’s what I thought… free medals I guess

[fleet berry]

Yes, but don't. It's a waste of materials. You can have multiple copies to showcase skins, but unless you want to whale and/or end game players, I won't.

[fair lance]

Why didn't you use one copy to limit break the other then?

[chilly plaza]

It is already max

[fleet berry]

+2 AA, not +1. Sorry. +1 HP at collection.

[boreal temple]

no worries thanks for checking, I thought I was missing something good by not getting her

[woven star]

I wish have somedupes for pvp team and maybe 1 more copy of Helena without radar to forget swapping gears. But anyway it's more docks space and ur bulins. So skipped

[chilly plaza]

Side note.. how does the Private Quarters work? Are they like the battle pass thing?

[boreal temple]

it's just a 3d dorm that's just there so you have things to do when oil gone or bored iirc

[fleet berry]

Nah, none of the gacha-exclusive ships (excluding Lion) give good tech. At least GloriousM gives +1 RLD.

[chilly plaza]

Ohhhh… so it’s like Project Identity then

[boreal temple]

I shouldn't have dunked 100 cubes to get the rest of the roster ffs

[woven star]

If one MLB I will keep that copy for pvp maybe. But again UR bulins is expensive thing

[warped acorn]

good?

[boreal temple]

it's ok better early game when you have few options
