I’m guessing UR BBs existing is why no talks about Daisen right?
pretty much
yeah
like it wasnt painfully obvious enough with how many UR BBs we have
lionbad
truly
Im guessing here the plymouth one
I would take the 30 minute Q myself
Honestly sort of unfortunate they don’t make the PR BBs more unique, that way there’s reasons to use them over the URs
always q
People told me to go for a second one before moving to pr7 so thats what im doing 
What does Daisen do again?
typical gold standard bb
u only get that recommendation when u are almost done with the second one 
hmm what am i doing wrong then
Barrage or Shelling?
yes
I only have 28
were way past the age of barrage/shelling bbs since every bb just has a barrage now
are u counting the protocore ones ?
protocore is just +1 gun
Yeah i already bought the one from the shop
yeah usually u want 1 from research and 1 from proto
i typically find it a mistake to buy it tho
Lol why
id rather get 457 and tenrai first
True though I was more so wondering if she would be focused on fast guns to trigger her barrage as often as possible or standard gun for straight shelling damage.
Im gonna get them all at some point and im not in a hurry so i dont see the issue
that is not the issue here
so basically u are finishing the first ply gun here
Yes
i heard some people using black salvo instead of white for this meta?
usually if u do gear focus u will end up with more prints before finishing the 2 DRs
so this is up to u how u want to tackle it and based on how far are u in both dev
yeah because Aurora makes the hite rate basically 100%
i dont think it makes significant difference anyways
hmm i wonder what im missing then
prob fleet tech
backrow has everything though
whats the fleet
fritz alasc lion, ply aurora eld
I need another 114 for plymouth, im not focusing on brest that much
u can wait for them to be coined to finish brest if u want but it will not be until 2026
idk lack of oaths?
as for the balance between the gun and ply prints u are in an imbalance now
what gear?
Well catch up is a free 150 bps so
the image that u are giving isn't clear
so u are missing 114 and u still didn't touch the catchup ?
114 is around 22% of the total needed so if u want to have a somewhat balance between the 2 u want to be at 39 ply gun prints
that if u want to finish both of them at around the same time
@viscid swift here is my gear
who's Flagship
and is Eldridge and subsequently Aurora dying before Lion and Alsace get their last salvos off
also, Autoloader on Alsace instead of the shell
alsc is flagship
should be Lion, or alternatively drop Plymouth for Z52
ok putting lion as flag then and trying it 1st
and Autoloader on Alsace instead of a shell
your ships aren't oathed so Alsace has no chance of getting off her 5th salvo
then shouldn't alsace be in flag?
why
should fire more than lion?
Plymouth's debuff won't apply for her preload
oh
it only procs 10 seconds in
wheres liongun? and +12 hvars are a bit of a loss
lion gun +10
fumo ply is sus
i changed it to golden and hydro but still dying like at 10 sec left mark
eld rng
anything better survivability wise then golden?
prob albion
hmm then not sure what to give aurora then
you can get 2 of them
is it in core data yet?
yes
i havent figured out the optimal setup yet but i feel it might be pearl
and cope for the eld proc to keep aurora alive
should still be +13 quad
ok
well should be able to test tommorow some more
welp could not find other aviation skills...
found the ace but then stopped getting purple skills.... ugh
is huan ch'ang decent?
I also found destiny for this cat @topaz smelt but destiny isn’t too useful on sub right
meh
id say vittorio veneto is better though, correct?
there is a any guide for META shop and shipgirls?
btw how much increase is lion gun vs mk7? will it allow unoath lion to finish her shots?
eh, sure
it will allow her to get her 4th salvo off fully
Elite METAs are all collection/tech fodder
That's really it
oh wow... hmm i guess i should see how much decrease from +13 to +10 then if its worth to switch to
iirc you want it on alseggs anyways
what is the best iron blood ship i can use for this? I currently don't have any of those leveled
whatever you have
these are my options
i guess giving it to alsec will make it not have to use reloader?
wow i though this ships are most powerful in al
is st louis the most useful ship to research on pr1?
plus, how do i get iron blood tech points for friedrich
Lore wise yes METAs are more powerful
but this aint the lore
No, Ibuki is (after you get her unique augment)
aight
/fleettech
Q: How do I get more fleet technology points?
You get fleet tech points by:
Collecting the ship (~20%)
Max Limit Breaking it (~45%)
Achieving level 120 (~35%)
-Higher rarity ships gives more fleet tech pts .
-Heavier ship hulls also gives more fleet tech pts: CV=BB>CA>CL>DD
Side notes:
-PR ships give more fleet tech pts than normal but follow the above formula with development 30 replacing MLB.
-META ships are considered a separate META faction. They give same bonuses as their non-META versions.
-Collab ships, Muse and little versions of ships e.g. Li'l Sandy, Clevelad and Lena etc do not give any fleet tech pts.
-Iron Blood faction ships receive double the normal tech points compared to other nations.
For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki
You can also use this Fleet Tech Tracker by retropaint
is it fine if i keep researching st louis? shes like 40% done
she'll at least be a good source of french tech point so sure
why is ibuki the most useful ship in PR1?
her unique augment turns her into a budget Unzen
id consider roon for the kms tech tho, but ibukis good too
they are all decent ig
altho if you need to ask i dont think theyre in a position to be spending on augs
got my Saratoga augment almost @ 3 weeks of starting. Dont think its that hard
How good is Warspite's augment?
It seems like it gives her a second barrage, and might fix the targetting issues, but I'm not sure
its not hard, its just not worth the coins until you get to w12
how is sanrui dmg vs light btw
in terms of plymouth
How good is taiho chan good?
purely collection tier
Oh ok
same goes for really all the little child ships
Really? I’ve been using agir😭😭😭
Also is shouhou good? Or should I upgrade souryuu and hiryuu
no and no and no
How good is Peter Strasser's augment module?
little agir is a bit of an exception, she's tanky enough for beginners to actually use
No and no
Shouhou is basically the same as pre-retro Unicorn and Souryuu and Hiryuu have decent retrofits but little in the way of competition with other SR Carriers
Oh I need to replace my whole back line tho (they’re maxed on exp)
do you really though?
I doubt you're in a position to replace your ships yet, just keep investing limit breaks on them
what level are your ships that are maxed on exp
My only coinable DR ships are Azuma and drake, which one should I focus on first
Maxed ships can still give PR XP
They’re 120 but hood, Helena and uni are 125
where are you at in campaign?
Mine is already done fn, I was doing monarch and I haven’t unlocked pt2 yet
Chapter 10
Doesnt really matter but ig Drake is faster to get "Done" since Azuma needs FS5 to properly use any of the other CB guns besides her own gun
but they're both low prio compared to FdG
id consider pushing to 12 before doing pr stuff
Yeah I have fdg agir and haku fully done just have those two left
id do avp if you havent already
why is the update 1.6gb?

Any kawaM fleet yet?
so i could get destiny or get reload which is 4/6 reload, i'm wondering which one is better tradeoff wise
NJ 3D Dorm
ah
- Cafe
cafe?
Wow, destiny above that. Sub should buff your whole fleets after all
Cats don't crossfleet
i don't undesrtand wdym cafe?
new area like the beach
Literally cafe, what do I need to say more about it 
you can buy a 3D version of NJ's bunnygirl skin and interact with her there
Since when have cats crossfleet
Yeeeeeears ago
They've never have in any of my testing during the time I wrote my guide and speedran cm
There was that 1 time apparently CN bugged to have it crossfleet and we never got that bug
Wouldnt be surprised if they broke it again
is Implacable exchangeable after 400 rolls yet? just returned recently.
Try again in a year
RIP
We just got her rerun this March
i feel like no content really needs cat
what does challenge mode give?
cosmetics
Looking to start map 15 In the near future, what's the gimmick/recommended fleet types?

Does Corgi Aug make her as strong as the newer UR BBs?
Lol no.
😦
It doesn't even make her as strong as old UR BBs.
tyty
On the topic of new augments however, is Strasser now a reliable stop?
Any suggestions on some good tanks from Royal Navy, Iris, and Vichy factions?
What is your impression of HMSReport? Does it make HMS ships tankier? I put out calcs a while ago saying HMSReport is 1% worse with higher variance across the board
I think he mean the Albion exercise report
Albion report is 5% eva rate and 120 hp vs hydraulic steering which is 40 eva (or 49 at +13). Idk offhand how much eva rate +40-49 corresponds to but for CLs/CAs I'd expect more than 5%. You could use both, but again there's other EVA stuff like Beaver Badge, Kicks, Ice Bomb, etc that give close to as much. For DDs the albion report might be better since it gives some HP and a flat rate increase.
what have you got to work with, and what are these fleets going to tackle
HMSReport as replacement for Toolkit of course
I don't remember the result of the calc for DDs, but I'd assume it's better on DDs.
newer rainbows are just way ahead but aug should be at least enough for her to not be called a fake rainbow
I still am confused whether or not the Albion report is what you're calling HMSReport
oh yes that's right it's Albion report
I'm building fleets around richealiu and king George (i like having faction specific fleets) I'm still mid game, so chapter 10 story and Corrosion 4-5 OS.
well usual disclaimer that faction fleets are self imposed handi caps
and even in a faction fleet I wouldn't use King George V
~~ faction fleets hardly make it past W13 if im correct~~
still also still don't know what you have access to
Any random collection of ships that are max level with good gear can stomp w13 so long as they're not tempestas or have basically no AA. W14 you could do with faction fleets pretty easily too. W15 would be a struggle. Regardless, faction fleets are severely limiting your potential fleet strength because you're not using all available ships in the game as options.
I know it's limiting/sub optimal. I just want to use these fleets to grind out better ships in the long run for sure. My collection is limited and I've invested a good amount into what im running with, im just struggling with my front line surviving at times
uh, if you mean PR ships
-
You do relaize that you'll only ever need main fleet or vanguard XP so running a full faction fleet is superfluous and
-
don't overestimate how easy farming in W12 is(which is where you should be farming XP and coins)
for example this is my current farming fleet in 12-1
Akashi carrying hard
~~ Mvp mainpulations ~~
MVP control is wild 
~~ why mainuplate you dont have Cog chips anyways~~
pre-farming is a thing

I do have enough cogs, for my vanguards
Oh lmao I didn't realize it'd be that easy lol
12-1 on safe is a Snoze fest
What German ships are good? Like in terms of easy to get ones?
I'm almost done leveling BRS and DM then it's back to no main fleet 
The PR/DR ones are all decent and permanently available. Wolfpack subs. Beyond that they're mostly locked behind events.
I think I'll bank 3 million XP on the DDGs if they don't steal MvP
I've been out of mainfleets to level for so long I've started reusing them all until they have exp to go to 125
when all you have is shitters you'll think less of mvp control 
but I only have shitters left pretty much
well I already maxed aff for cleo, gallant and trinidad so they're just sitting in dorm till 120
Is FdG still prio 1 if I have lion?
do you have other UR BBs
No
then stay on it
Do I get anything for 3* war archive stages?
no
Is there a list of how much tech points each ship gives?
the wiki has such a list
Is warspite retro good now
shes workable
she exists
dont see why she wont be better then fdg in single target :)
Just to make sure I’m not misremembering something but will you still get xp on girls who hit lvl cap?
says who?
thats a low ass bar nowadays though
up to 3m
Fleet Technology is a system that allows you to gather permanent stat bonuses for Max Limit Break ships. In addition, it is used to unlock requirements for Shipyard ships.
There are 2 main systems within this menu:
Direct Stat Bonuses - These are bonuses from individual ship investment, that target individual hull types.
Faction Technology Bonu...
Thanks
me :), although those barrages are a pita. Did they nerf the hitrate on them
theyve always been sad
How's Strasser aug looking like?
I remember some people saying it made her a better AvP on paper last night
prob a sidegrade
even her hit and luck doesnt balance them :/
the issue have always been the damage and the timing
Strasser'll be less of a pain in the ass to gear than August that's for sure
getting her tho
Ya but we're not talking about availability
i feel like her aug was pretty predictable
why aren't we? then everyone would be looking only at Implacable
there might be an issue of her being too fast tho
Because the discussion is focused on Strasser's viability comparative to August
CVs have like a dozen planes to sync, dont think that will ever be an issue
ye but thats usually at the cost of something else
There's also CV manjuu
prinz eugen is better than portland 10 out of 10 of the time based on performance, but which one do you recommend in the end? same logic
i just noticed her aug gives her another 20 rld
Any good TRP in here ? Just need enough req no need to be good
port does damage , prinz doesnt 
You're arguing at the wind
you're not seeing the picture
you're just taking out context and throwing it out of the window
just fill the 2nd fleet with DD fodder
and who fucking cares about harder to gear lol
Oh lol im dumb ty alot
it's just ironblood plane, which you're always suggested to get a ju87 anyway
that can be a problem when she is supposed to be a transitional ship until people get nahk and implacable
wdym problem 
giving up quite a bit of dmg
Again the main discussion started here #gameplay-help message which is focus on who is better, of course availability is the final decision that much is a given
yeah no shit instead of saying will the augment make her better than avp or not, you led with gearing her will be a pain, which doens't answer the question at all, good job
and you have the audacity to say this
You're arguing over qn off handed comment 
so are you able to tell blaster is strasser better than august or not
🍿
🍿
so you make an offhand comment, i reply back with another, you pedal back and say it's the viability discussion, yet you have yet to give an answer. so what now???
personally, just use the hotter one. Neither do that much damage anyway, and you have to sacrafice some damage to optimize sync
📠
Anyone know any good fleets for Kawakaze Meta?
most fleets here are for end game whales soo wont work
thats what happens when its 4 shot
You done 
that for Kawa META?
yes
pics dont help without gear
Its a good fleet, but, uh, what if, like, say for example
suggestions dont work without dock either
I dont have Eldridge's stuff to yk, make her UR
at this point just post your dock in a thread
then ripbozo just 2 shot
do you have raf?
yeah I can make a thread
you can try this if you can build it
is raff healing consistent enough?
nope
raffy doesnt heal smh
I can easily build that

What if
ok sick
No 52, oof
Bro missed the free ur 
ok ykw, can I just say I have basically every shipgirl in the game besides Eldridge
52 is a nice option to have though
Then you just replace Eldridge with Napoli and pray. Left for max oaths and rld tech, otherwise right
napoli dies, wouldnt trust that shit
I didn’t knew it existed cuz I didn’t even open the event
napoli + laffii dies
No Napoli cuz I didn’t bother

Ok? Use the better Eldridge
Don’t have the retrofit item
again, I did not know which event I missed
Just replace with any other tank then
honestly just throw helena at it if you dont have eld
Not like the choice matters for 2 shot vs 2 shot
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Voltage_Rising
It might rerun later this year, since it only took a year for Yuudachi's retrofit item to rerun as well
did it go perma immediately after rerun?
Intial run Sept 30th 2021
Rerun Sept 15 2022
Added to Protocore September 14th 2023
fdgtier ppl said
time to move her back up on your tier list
Uhm I have 105 cubes rn, what do i do. Its been 2 months since i played
You save
when?
next thursday
i played when implaceable reran
the answer doesnt change
Bismarck Zwei is the UR Rerun in question if you were wondering
worth it?
Yup
k
warspite op 
nah lionbad
Can't you make Fred do that amount 
nah im skill issued find someone else
i have +11 lion gun, one +13 iowa gun, and one +11 iowa gun
is it possible to one shot kawakaze META with those if using BB fleet?
prob not without good tech and rng
Is there an English tier list?
Fritz is better than a third BB anyways, if you have max tech and oaths then that will still oneshot
So uhhh what are people using against Kawakaze META?
Going for a one shot comp (if possible). Current comp is Lion, Kearsarge, Yorktown II / Z52, Helena, and Eldridge Kai.
Does that not work?
I'm getting around 1.3m avg but I can't push past a one shot. 
Get luckier
Though I feel like it's just Helena being Helena. 
4 strike yorkii is weak
I have 2 questions:
-
if I can’t get aux from gear lab how do I get good aux? Like where can I get vanguard’s UR control table thing?
-
At end game should I make 6 fleets? Like 1 for each ammo type (heavy,normal, light) and boss/mob? and like make slight changes depended on the stage?
AFCT is gone
No, you just have a pool of commonly used ships and make 1 or 2 fleets for the specific content
Wait so some great gear is just not attainable now??????
theyll make it perma some day
yes

How?
Like how Lion gun will be gone in a week
theyll add it to core data or gear lab
No I mean is it ever coming back…like Ik gear goes away after event but I thought u meant it wasn’t going back…
for example new jersey gun was event limited until they added it to gear lab earlier this year
But it’s aux and there’s no auxes in gear lab, and no UR in core data right?
wdym earlier this year
I bet 1k Gems it'll be the Core Data shop
wasnt it there in 2024 as well
oh was it earlier
i have no time sense
right(ish) and wrong
inb4 protoshop
we have the rainbow torp augment for 1500 core data
Ohhh right I didn’t see that
and the Z Flag
that’s a lot of gems
is corgi worth the retro+aug now if i have sashi lion and fdg (and zwei
)
no
but cheeky
It's not a lot of gems now that cheeky is p2skin
against DDs so 15% more hit than usual, don't know the timing orders or how much it's overkilling by, not to mention Plymouth buff
Bottom tier of UR BBs
Should I get the bottom star (beat all enemies) now or later after I finish pushing story?
also
Later because you won't finish the second star in one run anyways
So is the warspite augment busted? 
Yes, tho do note that 1) It's only really for campaign up to at most W14 and 2) Has not been updated in months (Tho that will probably change soon)
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home
lionbad
is that 2nd one daisen?
yes
anyone tried chappy yet?
jimmy did
based jimmy
do u test ur runs without counting the helena scans
?
Emphasis on "I feel like".
see boss not dead
see helena
must be a helena issue
When zwei back
@viscid swift
Next week
Aight
(Or at least, the next maint)
should i pull for bz if i have alsace and lion already

bz goes well with lion and alsus
Why wouldn't you if you've been saving cubes like a good boy
Any ship have good AA only need for req xd
alright 
gooood boy okay i will pull (saving cubes to cube pr8) too
use radar
no one there will help you at level 1
minnea and balt are decent i guess, wouldnt get them tho
how many cubes do you have currently
level up your ships more, you aren't meeting the average level requirement
Just need for req fleet
Well first you should get your ship levels higher than 69
Ill with unicorn
or better yet ignore the war archives for now
uh like 750? i went ham on the wishing well
and i paused cubing pr6
i dont think you should dube any season
not even pr8
Cubing pr6 
dude i swear someone told me to cube pr6
at least im close to hinden
wait why no cube pr8 though? i wanna be cool and be the first one to have the ur
because having 5 coppies of the UR gear by next May is much cooler
i felt cool running soy nyak
are you fully caught up with URs
soyuz,guamlaff, etc
not 👴🏼 enough
i do not believe you should be cubing then
say you have around 1050 cubes by pr8 drop
its gonna go down a few hundred and you might have hard time with new URs and reruns
other events as well
he doesn't believe you should, but if you insist to be cool...... well... maybe you wanna try getting multiple pr8 rainbow equips, that's cool too.
i'll see my luck. thanks gph
no put it like this, after a month-month and a half that number will drop to 550
avergae cubing experience
Isn’t cubing more for the cog
I mean I do it for that as well but it's not the main reason
the main reason is flexing on peasants/poor people
I mean getting to 10k cubes is more of a flex
finishing PRs first so u can speedrun Drs
nah not really
Oh I wonder what the survey will be about
among other things you can just whale that
whaling to cube free ships 
cubing is only to see how fast you can push to finish new ships with new series, balanced/gear focus is more useful
it just took me 1k cubes to speedrun the pr7 gold ships, not even enough for dr
just reached max storage of special gear in my depot, is there any way I can remove the blue grade ones?
Yeah, go level a purple/gold one with them.
or stick them on ship you're not using
aight bet, realistically though there should be a way to just get rid of them imo
2 vs 1 of the ship's bp
so it's okay to take the 5 hr if you're not sure you can get another 2.5 hr to queue in a row
sure
What are the best fleet combinations for 15-2, 15-3, and 15-4?
Learn how to beat Chapter 15 on auto with comprehensive strategies, ship and gear selection, and example fleets.
good bot
I'll do that especially for DRs, but won't worry to much about PRs.
it's a dr
I mean I'm prob not going to finish it by pr8 drops but it's ok it's ok
Yeah, go for the 5hr one.
DR research are rarer than PR, unless she's the last ship in the pool. I'll take the longest one.
aight thx 
Forgot to say, the cube face (rainbow D, not cube H) should be prioritised if you have the cubes though. But yeah.
How do I get rid of extra augments?
feed them to other augments like you would with meowfficers
So there's no way to sell them
nop
Anyone ran tests for avp vs peter now?
too slow? or too fast?
too fast
even with CV Manjuu?
Oh
shes got like 40 rld over most cvs
its workable just awkward
theres also the case of whether vits hit for her stop
if they dont hit, it makes things even more awkward
is the CC not on strike?
Stop is applied upon button press
and cause of 3s duration shes probably gonna have to be middle
ye but the window for herself is shorter than the other stops
i tihnk she has to go last
if she goed last the first cv might miss and if she goes second the last cv might miss and if she goes first the last cv definitely misses xd
if its tight i tihnk its fine since its an insta stop
hmmge
but last idk if the flight time is fast enough to make the 2.x seconds
why is lion getting outdamaged by bismarck in meta fight isn't she the best HE dps
Idk maybe your lion has rld issues or any number of problems
cuz mvp screen is fake
maybe the hype around her was too much that I expected more]
Hallo again, which SRs do I retrofit? I have Z23, Sandy and Unicorn retrofitted so far
it's still good damage
something something burn damage isn't accounted for in the end screen
all in all you're looking at around an additional 50-60k from burn dmage
maybe Bismarck zwei out damages lion when buffed by Bismarck
I mean
lionbad
Rigged fight
looking at end screen damage as an end-all without any context, buff standardization, variance minimization, etc is also stupid
Lion is also buffing the entire fleet's damage by 10%
and also smth smth overkill
but ply
Did you find ply to be better than z52
Rld issues as I said
I ran out of attempts so I don't know
50-60k is stretching it
She does 1.8k per 3 seconds
is your aurora oathed? im wondering what it will take for her to be able to survive besides the washing machine and albions exercise report
smh trafless
none of those ships are oathed

and what it'll take for Aurora to live is for Eldridge to live
oka
i can test in 3 hours
hey, I'm not a filthy meta oather
smh not a tryhard
too cheap for that
filthy?
no love for girls
alpha, you have pretty much all your main fleets oathed and yet you pull worse results than me on META fights
+13 and tech difference la
called out
dont worry ima start ex oating
Hey, only so many rings to go around
i see 2 main fleets oathed
smh
you're blind
i mean 2 main fleet comps
that couldve been oathed
you see, cheeky oaths for pvp
you are right
None of them are PvP meta rn lul
who was your first oath cheek
if I did I'd have oathed Jinstuu, Eldridge, and Laffey 2 long ago
just need to get aurora to drop from light pool then 
only a pvper would oath anch, noshi
belfast of course, waited something like 5 months for it
good..... good......
i dont understand the belfast oath tho
Pffffffft

No, very left field
im not a meta whore you are
where’s your helena oath
What numbers
there’s a lot of numbers in the picture
There's a lot
200 is affinity
2 3 1 is the positions
flagship is 1
1 is tank for vanguard
can someone tell me if I have my ships in the correct position?
eld and z52 are in each others spot
According to the picture no but your positioning is better
why tf does this tool put the frontmost ship at the bottom. 🥴
biz is also flag
haven’t seen renhex in a while how is he
Also Alsace would be better than Bismarck Zwei
anywys i dont oath meta either
Just fine
ty for the help
Weird guns but ok
HOLY it worked
how is warspite aug?
Adds ~69% damage. Nice.
which shell should I remove on lion to get a 4th salvo off
pretty good; adds 2 barrages. however the 2nd barrage is contingent on the 1st barrage hitting because the 1st one can miss due to eva/eva rate (idk which)
now comparable to NJ and FdG in practice, damage-wise.
the yellow one or the black one or remove both and run fire control radar with autoloader
i see, ty
hello just came back yesterday after not playing for 2years
do i make a thread and post my ships there and ask for help 
she needs to gain 2/3 of a salvo for autoloader to be worth
How's spoot?
Need help after 2 years of not playing
She's feeling great, but I'm not feeling great about her
Puts her at the bottom tier of rainbow BBs
For bossing only
Warkai good again?
is the 100% burn chance bug fixed?
as a warspite enthusiast i will say yes cuz im biased 
is warspoot now better than all gold BBs
no
sadge
Uh DC farm get exp and oil cap?
Your analysis is correct
archive give xp just like normal stages, oil cap also same as usual events
whats ur gear
nearly identical to the tweet from a little above
I used STAAGs instead of the UR AA and the 3+2 torp instead of the quad magtorp
oh i c tyty
The vanguard gear is suboptimal, shows easy the meta is
wish i had 2 tables
I fought 5 lvl 15s and sank 4 of them
dont have 3 UR DD guns tho oof
do the MLE gun then since you want HE but it's a decently big difference in power
No
Whats oil cap mean i might think wrong
Single 138.6 is bad, contrary to popular kimocheese beliefs

Z52 and Trafalgar actually prefer single 76 or single 113 the fast guns
Over twin 100 kai
I thought it was popular everyone believes not just him, before we get current options
i've got enough protocore for 3 bulins, less than 1k away from a 4th
my bb fleets are kinda ok but my cv fleets need help
Lion can help
do you have cv gear and cvs to use them?
my only usable CVs atm
hows the bb fleets looking
Yes just max lion and wait for Shinano from pity
3 tenrais
ignore the jank fleet setups was doing xp for nakh
which one should i get from here
this is really upto you, you can go nano to get a good cv fleet or go lion and build 2 bb fleets
ic
lions pretty busted tho
does yk2 require d30 kearsarge to work
also is there a retire/exp usage guide for which ships are worth to keep
kinda not really
why not her over nano then
you have avp shinano haku for the standard ijn fleet
ic
non d30 kear is kinda weak and the fleet is kinda weak on heavy
the choice is prob gonna depend on what gear you have available and upgraded
Well, I feel slightly dumb. I thought I was working on my second LA-9, but I actually already had 2. So now I have 3 of them. I guess that's not TERRIBLE for a year's work, but it's still not great.
youre prob not missing much until another med meta boss comes around again
I think that’s a good thing
this just means your pace increased by 50%
3 is usually serviceable
is warspite actually good now
she can be called a ur
btw is hindy d25 unusable
pretty ass
both ways or performance wise
yes
Usable to farm levels etc
Don’t expect good performance out here her tho, missing a second gun slot
Just curious, but are there any Azur content creators that experiment on meta fleets with good synergy?
prob just jimmy
I haven't gotten Traf or Lion to 125 yet. Barring those 2, what's the best comp for Kawa?
Uhhhhh
prob some variation of these
But... both of those have Lion.
Yeah, I'm not worried about one-shotting until i get both Lion and Traf up. I also apparently forgot to start leveling Traf's skills, so it's going to be quite a while for her.
can just run aurora
She can't equip a 2nd main gun instead of AA until D30 so meh
No one likes eHP hinden smh
is it fine to use PR/DR ships without being able to get them to Dev Level 30 right away?
Only if you're grinding their lvls
define use
leveling? no one cares
pushing content? they suck
yeah for pushing content I guess. Just finished Daisen but only had enough to get her to Dev 20. Gonna be awhile then before she sees use
Keep in mind the dev system is the equivalent of limit breaks (and enhancements) and D10/20/30 is 1*/2*/MLB respectively
And non MLB ships are missing large chunks of their kit
yeah that's why I was checking in case it was dif for PR ships.
Just dorm her and/or use XP packs
or push higher campaign
or wait for some special occasion
I dont have any and shes already in dorm
Should / n’t ?
now im using her in expeditions
generally no
Ok
unless you want to feel miserable playing the game for the next 1/2 year
Idk where to get more rings cause the crusie dont have also
by spending money on the game
we need to spend 800 gems to open up the cafe? but thats also not true bcs u cant buy it without buying the new jersey outfit so 1,6k gems?
oh ok ty, sad it cost so much
800 gems for a private dance show
cheaper than irl

guys, when does the event ends cause... idk I cant see it in this...
18th
Thank you Hugs
No homo
Guys I got stuck at 10-4, I want to MLB Lion but need coin. What stage is best for coin?
w12+
Stage I can do
prob 10-4, but i wouldnt recommend
how bout farming 9-4, i think it has oil cap?
Ok
W9 and above have oil cap. 10-4 has better drop and efficiency than 9-4 to boot.
Dude's stuck at 10-4 so
Yes, my point was, he shouldn't do 9-4 when can do 10-4.
if you drop it's down to 9-1 for xp/oil
what is a skin projection and why does it cost gems
Does anyone have any auto one-shot setups against Kawakze Meta that don't require oaths?
Sometimes checking guild members support ships is very scary thing. Better check it before use. It's z52 and Rumay btw. Or is it secret boss meta?
yes thats why your guild master can specifically pick 9 or 10 ships to "recommend"
9 but I wish to have list "not recommended "
For Kawakaze Meta?
no for yamato
so now I've done all the "opsi story" missions
but the only thing is that I have no clue what shops allow me to get mats for the UR guns
Yamato light?
Last 4th tab
blue port shop for 3, 1 from arbiter normal
Every UR mats going for UR gears. Never miss
How do I get more of those exp books? One of my characters disappeared after the update so now I have to level up a new one to take their spot
I went to the blue ports like you mentioned but I don't see the UR parts
in the blue port shops in i think its st petersburg one it should be there
its locked behind the "area capture progress" stuff
Grind with lvl 100+ ships
And sounds like you didn't get enough points to have Little Agir permanently join your fleet so sucks to suck
Maybe I misunderstood but St. Petersburg shop with this parts
oh
so St. Petersburg is the UR part shop ok
at least it's technically free
just takes a while
And Gibraltar some gold parts. But there it's completely random
yeah well I'm just concerned about finally getting those elusive rainbow guns from Gear Lab I keep seeing recommended
and the gold ones too
what are some early game mobbing BB's for campaign?
Washington as someone who personally used her a lot
ure overcapping hit?
idk i think i grabbed an unoptimized calculator lol, plygun on fritz, missing augs
Pennsylvania, Hood, and Nelson
nelsons not really an option anymore
that's only because you don't get her from rookie missions I suppose?
ye
Oh right
b7s?
big sevens
How am I supposed to get lvl 100 ships at the start of the game
colorado, maryland, etc
ohh I see
wv is core data, so prob not her
altho starter fleets gonna be awkward if i do cuz youl have to pick up an elite at a later time
maryland is guildshop
colorado as well i think
yeah
out of those 3, nelson still the best? assuming nelson's pennant is in play here
I still dont get how im supposed to get more exp
by playing the game
sortie with your ships, that's how you get exp early game
With a now incomplete team that can't get me past the the 4th chapter
are you following the newbie guide
zombie drag your lv1 portland, let the higher level ship tank for awhile
W13 Fleet Help
I'm wondering if I can set Strat Search in a way where it can automatically do my daily missions for me
Can anyone give any pointers for w13
you can't
is biloxi good?
hmm
so I'm wondering if I can set it in a way so I can just burn through all my AP but still get a good chunk of those purple tokens
cuz I'm aware I might have to clear a good chunk of the map to do that
76mm better for z52?
113 endgame z52. But 76 fine too
How about traf?
113 for traf. More rld than z52
Ye, dont have that yet
just use 76
Don’t need it tbh
Yeah. Iirc z52 best performance from 113 if max dd rld tech plus phenix or oath. So 76 for anyuse

that aside, Warspite Retro with Augment performs like a UR now? (albeit on the weaker end)
Anyway to improve this fleet for KawaMETA? Going for a one shot.
I haven't checked timings yet cuz I can't access the calculator on my work PC. 
unless it's your first month clearing ch4 you can buy oil logger and strat search explorable but most tokens will be from strongholds and abyssals
id drop yorkii kear for alsace fritz
and helena wants sg
the rld threshold for z52 is kind of awkward you'll probably be fine with 76mm
traf can work 113 much easier though
its pointless minmaxing anyways
well I'm just noticing rn against the lvl 118 boss fleets, my Khron is taking way more damage then I thought
I have an Anchorage with max dev and fate sim but no skill levels
the margin is basically a rounding error across a single fight yeh
I think fleet auto can attack enemies now to collect crates that's been surrounded by enemies instead of just stopping in opsi
not really a rounding error, more of the engine being shit
there's whether Kronshtadt is properly equipped and whether you have enough adapts
Well I don't ahve any of the rainbow gear but I have a good chunk of the gold gear
but the adapts
hmm
what's the adapt cap again
cuz I have no clue how to farm that
should i just convert these to protocore since i can coin agir
stig did some testing it's basically rounding whether the gun hits the breakpoint
to put it in layman terms
up to you, if having tankier agir sooner can benefit you, then put them on agir, otherwise do whatever you want
the highest useful amount is 203/203/156, but just saying rainbow and gold gear sounds like you don't know what you're doing with it
some day ill finalize my gear progression guide
some day 
i keep questioning it
ive probably made and reverted the same changes like 3 times now
currently looks like this
Is BRS and Dead Master good in PVP
God pls no, noooo
yeah but no one was answering so switched here😂
they are shit
alright thanks
No preload, average sr dps, annoying augment
but you can now have 2 hiryuus
I know
it just that a majority of the time I don't have the high-end stuff from research or gear lab
like for example
I have no clue how I'm supposed to obtain this if it's only in an event shop
you're supposed to obtain this in the LCSOS event shop
which is not currently available
Mentioned that already
since I see the only "permanent" options are from gear lab
then I check and I have none of the mats
so here I am doing opsi grinds
ok
the only things blocking me from making the guns are the plans
do you have to unlock all the bases to unlock the full shops?
you unlock different tiers of rewards by clearing the zones marked as "explorable"
well now i've hit a new roadblock, I was attempting to autoreplay chapter 3 areas and after a while I got a notifcation that my characters are exhausted
game told me literally nothing about the morale thing characters have so thats fucking great
put ships in dorm and stop playing for a bit
aight thats sure not putting pressure on me trying to finish the brs event before it ends but ok 
ok
like what, the loadout and result? or what
I want a renhex or lars
how long do i gotta put them in the dorm for
huh why +9 bowgun
more fp, but without -5% light dmg penalty
holy shit 🧠
first floor recover 40 morale per hour, so uh, if you are seeing the morale message box, that's 0. around 3 hour+ i guess
which stage in 12 do i grind for gold
12-4
i hate this fight, its prob eld tank
What is your tech
18 42 xdd
Well that I know
Avifp and hit?
how long would it take to grind the fp, avi, hit and reload for both BBs and CVs if you focus on grinding for just those stats
It took me a few months for max reload tech
loooooooong looooooooooooong time
real
Actually I do not have max reload
a lot of it is waiting for the ships to come out
i managed to do 1.1mil damage to kawakaze with 0 BB reload tech and +18 CV reload
no alsace or bis zwei either
3 hours.....and i have a full 6 party......and the dorm only takes 2 slots unless i pay for the others
im waiting 18 hours minimum before i can keep going
that's why we recommend 1 extra dorm slot + 2nd floor
yes early game you will have to make do with only minimal slots
Waow so pro
early game just fucking sucks unfortunately, it gets better
buy the 3rd slot now, the rest will have to cover 20morale per hour, and up to 119 only

the girls regenerate some morale even without the dorm. just slowler and only up to 119
i mean its normal not to have all 6 teams in the dorm. thats also impossible
poverty 



are zwei good?
yes, very good
Damn it can give 2? Whats the maximum possible amount
i think 4? maybe 5
highest i've seen personally was 3
so, would placing darkness, the devilluke sisters and the brs girls be a good idea?
i think there was someone in trophy room who got 4 prints
Tech weeps
No
I'm fairly sure darkness and brs compete for flag
They're good ships individually
It'll probably work as an ok boss fleet for easy content admittedly
Is there a more consistent 1-shot for this meta fight? It’s always either 96% or 100%, no in between
Try traf instead of ply
Traf is still levelling sadly, ran out of cog chips
Or wait for bis2 I guess
is there any bonus to getting 100% zones cleared in OS
I have Bis2, what is she better than?
Are meowficers any good or should I just not bother
Could try replacing Alsace
They are somewhat relevant in terms of opsi
But not worth losing sleep over
But yeah traf or at least aurora over ply
wonderful
I assume you mean collecting all 360 stars
no like getting every zone controlled
You're meant to do that every month tho
is this banner worth it or should i save up for next event?
Never pull permanent banner lol
what's the significant benefit to clearing every zone even after you clean out the important items in the shop tho
oki
At most 1x light a day for the build mission
Using up your AP?
To run into cat nodes or Akashi shops
Which give your more items?
Well I tried BisZ and it was worse sadly
Well the limiting here is ply then
ok then
each zone has its own clearing loot every month that can include coordinates
Bro wtf Japanese subway data is crazy
honestly though, while i appreciate the help i get here, when i give a genuine question I'd much more appreciate a genuine answer like nntktt gave over a sarcastic one
What did I miss
nothing really, it's just bc of the last question i asked
I wasn't being sarcastic though?
the question marks made it sound like that, but if you say you weren't then I'll take your word for it
tone thru text is hard
but I was unironically being sarcastic /s
If that came off as sarcasm, I'm sorry
But I don't think it's fair to expect customer service tier responses here from people
bro i've been asking for help here for a long time now as you already know, there's no way i can expect that at this point lol
Okay, I took BisZ gear off and put onto Alsace but forgot to actually switch her out but yeah Aurora seems to work a lot better, so with an actual 3rd ship with gear this should be fine
Increased Fritz damage by almost 25%, is her hit that low or something?
fritz is on the higher side but cvs dont have access to 65 hit gear like BBs do
here is my first fleet and they are about to hit 100 level and i kinda want to make a second fleet .my first question is do i use traf instead of cleo here or do i use traf on completely new fleet . here is my rest of the dock. also i cant go to chapter9 because my acc level is still 55.also i still have my early invitation thing
For W14.... Can someone remind me to what do there again hahaha
I'm in W14-3 right now
traf isn't gonna be useful for you at base limit break, just keep using that fleet until you can do chapter9
asw on vanguard and unicorn, 155kai on your BB

Alright then i wont replace cleo there .can you give me a second fleet recommendation btw.(with traf if possible)
It will take a long time for me to able to do chap9 because of level restriction
Does chap9 really have restrictions?
Commander level
Never really heard of such restrictions
They've always been there
Since 2018
Perhaps it's not an issue to individuals who stopped campaign to grind events
Thus increasing the cmdr level
Ah yeah maybe that's why
It was so easy to beat chap 7 but i cant even do chap 8 restrictions are making me sad
I feel like im wasting oil
they are way to many different ships in the permanent pool. its name is "special" but it isnt special at all. it means the ship type is "special".
you shouldnt if you got a small amout of cubes. at the very least try to safe 400 before you do any fun pulls. you need 400 in the worst case in any event banner
thats because they decreased the needed runs per map. just grind a bit. in my case i grinded 3-4 for the map specific sr ships. at that time they werent any ur ships
Almost 2 years for me. Not sure whether that's slow or not.
dont go to foxmines im begging you 
do you have war archive data keys? go grind at SP5 in universe in unison or passionate polaris
that is pretty fast considering theres a bunch in event limited
also i suggest to hold on for now, wait for next week rerun, see what else you can get from the pull
If you don't have any war archive keys then foxmine is the answer
I see. I did muck around (ie only raising ships that I like, not caring much for meta) for a year or so before fully focussing tech grinding, so that might help a bit.
No Foxes?
which ship is best in pr2?
any ship to replace?
double hvars on fritz for the meta fight?
make thread, continue there
anyways, one change would be removing helena and using your starter DD instead. From the looks of it, your Laffey
another change is the frontliner's positions: Portland tank, starter DD/Helena mid, Scylla offtank
yes
fdg is the only relevant one
What ship should i replace?
so what you meant was that it took you 3 years to get all the good backline tech? which is good pace but not the ridiculously fast pace that 2 years is
1 year mucking around, 2 years fullly focus. But yeah, actually around that time range, 3y in total.
Does Lion's DoT have its own unique tag?
Ye
Yes
It is still under the dot umbrella though right
have we ever had any ships that directly reduced DoT damage?
her burn isnt affected by any burn damage reduction
nono I meant like ships who have reduced DoT as a whole
anything under the umbrella, flooding, burns, special burns
we haven't yet right?
if its not affected by generic damage resistance then i doubt it would be affected by a dot specific one 
I have a feeling there was
But even if there was it most likely wouldn't block lion's in particular
you know practically no ship in the game can reduce her burn right? not even musashi
man lion just fucks the games rules
that pos burn is like true damage
the only way to avoid it is invulnerability states
