man the rounding errors in the % still make me laugh
Has FDG fallen off or am I just using her wrong?
I used her in a fleet alongside Bisko-II and UVH all with rainbow triple HE guns, but she regularly performs much worse than both others.
Is she just not as good as the newer UR's? Or am I just braindead?
UvH's off-flag gimmick is most likely helping her DPS there
And BisZwei is still like top 4-5 UR BB
FdG is more towards the lower middle of the UR BB power spectrum
i don't like fdg
Well NJ beat the shit out of FDG for single target when she first released and NJ is one of the weakest UR BBs now
FdG is also just shy of being 6 years old
So FDG has just been powercrept then
fate sim modernised her tho
Didn't really change much
somewhat*
that really didnt do much to change her single target performance
It leaned more into her mobbing capability
Then Musashi came out
vanguard is still no.1 bb in my heart
What would be the best replacement? I have most UR BB's (And also have the BBV Kearsarge at max dev)
The only one I dont have that I sadly missed is the Russian one that I hope re-runs soon.
Soyuz rerun wont be happening for a good while
Correction, I dont have Alsace either
Damn
Vanguard then
So Lion, Bisko-II and Vanguard?
Yes
Can this team make it at least 12-1? I dont have a second fleet yet currently at 9-1
could, but you should just start looking to make a second fleet 
Aight ty
overkill
Aight
Vanguard and Lion both did less damage than UVH when I tried them out against Ka-Meta
you built them wrong then 
or they were too slow and cant last salvo off
Hopefully you uh
used the correct ammunition type
Also are your URs even MLB
HE guns and Yes they are both Max LB
Am using 2× 406mm MK-7's at +12 and Lion has her Prototype 406 MK-II also at +12.
All 3 are at +12, they are all using STAAG's, and they all have FCR's
are their skills maxed out?
especially Lion's
A picture is worth a hundred words
Lion is 7 levels away from being completely capped at 125 (Still working on it) but that could be part of the problem
i can see why shes doing bad
Bowgun HE tech
118 against 126 enemy
+10 bowgun
no hitrate
💔
1% friendly buff 
what you need to fix
level 125
affinity to 100
bowgun +9 or use sword
just gonna assume you can't +13 the gun, but don't go beyond +10 randomly, like the CL and AA guns
Here's the Vanny build, and no i cant +13 the guns yet because I am low on the gold gun parts. Still working on that
So Bowguns at +9 or use Officer Sword instead?
what's wrong with bowgun +10?
The +10 skill messes with HE Guns
officer sword because you might not have high tech so its less hit rate
also a single +13 gun is probably better than +12 guns
it has light damage penalty -5% dmg
self delete skill
stoopid debuff
it ain't much, but it's honest work 🧑🏼🌾
aint much my ass
1 bb rld 
3 strikes

does 1 bb rld time your guns with airstrikes?
no
well it can but
i confuse
you cant get 4th shot off in full bb fleet
depends on setup
why would you want to not get 4th shot off
who's saying that?
bro I'm so confused, what's the benefit of +1 rld
you shave off .2s with 1 rld lol
full bb fleet > +1 rld = low reload > cant get 4th shot off > lose big damage
or was it 0.02 i dont remember
bro'
should be 0.2ish
you're just over capping the evarate debuff for that though and bringing 2 relatively flimsy ships
oh right
ok ok so has that dude mistakenly set to +1 bb rld or something?
no, he only has 1 rld tech
how the heck, with almost every UR
which is not enough to get 4 strike from triple bb setup
even I've got+2
most rld tech dont come from UR...
no
unless they've just never got a purple to 120
Reload tech for bbs mostly come from some golds, meta purples, and shitty blue and grey ships that nobody levels
hahaha my +2 is just from DoY lmao
NEVER run Oklahoma, Tennessee and Nevada in the same fleet 💀
watch me
I agree, I got raped in 11-4
Ayo
Just put in enough levels 
i get 1 shot off 4th barrage usually, can sometimes be 2
I am here to farm levels and you are telling me to put in more levels

Totally reasonable in my opinion
guys, why there is red dot on my setting button (in azur lane ofc), but when i open it and do nothing and close it, the red dot gone. is it a bug or something? it happen everytime i login.
why can some ships retrofit and others cant
it's there since the 12gb update
i think they havent fixed it yet
yeah, since then
its getting on my nerves lately, well red notif rly make ppl want to press.
Just ignore it
okok, so its just a bug. just wanna make sure, if im only one got this
hi silly question i guess but in terms of whats better for gameplay what should i buy here between the rainbow weapon for lion or glorious? 
Because devs did not release retrofits of many ships
The gun easily
okii thank you guys i appreciate :D
The gun and Trafalgar
Ohh just the crystal?
No
Yes
It’s in right now?
nope
The META shop alpha
after the shop's durations ends

The crystal is in the meta shop. Whether it's purchasable is a different question
Which team better between BB team / Cv team ? On boss
It's purchasable after the event shop's over
What boss and what BB and what CV

13-2
BB Alsace , lion , soy
Cv Hakur , amagi , shinano
No
Assuming everyone's MLB, then I would pick Lion amagi Shinano
Or lion amagi haku
Or lion soyuz amagi
no, mob team always have unicorn
Thanks
slap in unicorn replacing soyuz slot and you have 2 backlines that are good enough to beat even chapter 15 nevermind 13
Oath is necessary ? For main and vanguard ?
It wont help that much but it help ?
It helps a lot in minmaxing content that you can clear without minmaxing
I mean that it can help a lot for your end screen damage or flexing, but it won't help a lot with getting in-game rewards
Thanks
what should I spend my oil on
Is there any way to get Wattage Amplifier if you missed the event to get it?
nope
Wait for rerun
looks like after next maint
Who added this command
my oil is overflowing government is coming for me
go grind
any suggestion
ender did obviously
12-1 or 12-4
thx
mutsuki
You can also buy curry in dorm using oils
Warspite's special module isn't bad
But the other big girls are just way too overwhelming
it's a solid UE, but it only makes her as strong as NJ which is good, but there's already so many better UR BBs to choose from
when should i start worryinga bout boss fleet and mob fleet
world 9 or world 10
Should I keep using this for now then
outside of DM, BRS, and JdA the rest are pretty throwaway, dump Taihou for Unicorn 
wouldnt even use JDA
throwaway?
ya, JdA is a stretch...
basically ships that aren't of value @spare harbor
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/ start here, skip penny
k thx
btw whats thsi grenville meta she has a different upgrade menu compared to the oterhs
it's exclusive to META faction
basically dev told us "it's different, but same, but different"
also part of the reason why newbies shouldn't use META ships cause their enhancement materials aren't easy to get
With reworked hard stage this can be little easier now
HM stages have always been simple though... 
he meant meta materials can be farmed from hard mode
I didn't realize that was a thing 
which i dont think will fix the issue in short term
are the enhancement mats dependent on stage? or can any stage drop any kind of enhancement material? 
it's fixed just like retro bp
so stage dependent
Is there a way to turn threat level to lethal after having reduced it?
quiting before boss works
wild Glowworm 
ramming the boss 
how good zwei bis?
very good
i see
who else lol
mutsuki
Is one of these worth it to get upgraded beyond level 10?
g7e, but only for the really tryhard minmaxing territory, otherwise none of them
i would just not upgrade anything past +10 in your depot at this point
just, save
I will ask you before I upgrade something beyond lvl 10 xD
Chatting here is a nice english-workout for me xD
oh english isnt your first language?
Is retrofitting javelin worth it?
not a high priority
For collection % mostly
send a voice message of you saying threw, through, thou, though, trough, and thorough 
jkjk

Cause my only DD are javelin and yukikaze so was wondering if I should retrofit
Sadge
Well she went exactly a bad retrofit , but she’s not high priority
Which torb bomb is best general use beside wyvern
Any event weapons from zwei
spearfish, breguet
I retrofitted unicorn yesterday anyone else I should focus on now?
3q
Who’s in your fleet
English is my first foreign language. Take a look at my roles, then you know my first language 🙂
My main fleet rn enterprise, lion, uni, prince Eugen, javelin and montepelier
Replaced hood with lion recently
I mean you can retrofit if you use her
Well I'm using her because I have nothing else so idk
Hello! Looking for some fleet advices to clap Kawakaze Meta in one run
these might help then
did you retrofit unicorn yet
oh you did
next i guess, depends
could be saratoga, or nelson
So one of those?
I'll try, thanks
This would be my 2nd fleet, I can send as of my dock as well if you want
prioritise san diego's retrofit
You shouldn’t
you can but i wouldnt recommend it
just grind the xp
😭 😭
I used em :-:
Ok i wont use it and use oil
Alright
these packs can be converted into protocore, much more worth it than skipping the grind with them
What does protocore do?
Gets u good gear
if i wouldn't forget to slot Lion gun on her, maybe it would be take down

thanks for help
I just need more coins to fully retrofit sandie 😔
Btw what about Helena? Have you? She good too vs bosses and retro will be appreciated
But it's more like late meta bossing gameplay
I haven't retrofit her yet
Jintsuu Meta is still magic to take down in one go ;D
Only unicorn so far
don't worry about helena retrofit yet
So later Helena retro?
you kinda only bring her for the buff anyway, and the buff doesn't really change with retrofit
My Helena is lvl 50 lol
More like survivability
She nothing bring in mob fleet or chapters bossing. But good to have her for opsi arbiter and some meta bossing
Support buffer mostly for BBs dmg with a chance to proc it.
You can bring her in bossing up until chapter 14 
How is Helena mostly for bbs
Even in chapter 14 its not the worst option but its also not a top option
Good
Average proc helena is highest buff in the game
Yea she isn’t mostly for bbs
Single best buffer in game with some rng
She’s for every fleet that needs her support
Zwei still meta ?
for bossing, extremely
About mob ?
fallen by the wayside
musashi was always better, now we have rafaello as well
lion is better than bis 2 in both areas
alsace is better than bis 2 in mobbing outside lethal 3* clears in w15
so how should i gear her up? i know she's a great mob unit
that gear plus a good main gun
the gear is fine just give her a plygun or any good cl gun u have
Of the three great fighters, which is the best at interception?
xf5u or whatever it is idk the exact name but its the flying flapjack
i still have this one, is it any good?
Thanks 
bubble bullet is just a generic offensive aux, keep her on grand bomb so she actually has torps 
which BB UR would be prioritize for MLB, bismarck zwei or lion?
can only choose one for next few months
Lion
lion
any good CL gun i can use here?
chappy gun is good enough
okay thanks got it
2nd one down on the left
nobody actually use her inna fleet 2 or 3 or 4 depending on if this is for opsi
ngl this is just general use fleet lol
i just wanna try her out because she looks interesting
time to split to a fleet 2 then
i mean for most content u can use whatever thats the point of azur lane cause its a waifu game
i meant right im stupid
i just woke up forgive me
correct
btw is it worth to farm Agir?
yes its a waifu game collect all the ships
i get the waifu part but how good is she comparted to other UR carriers?
because i believe i have enough KMS to farm her exp
agir is cb and shes a top tank option
one of the best generic tank options period just cause agir has bulk and minor support things too
oh she's a CB...interesting
back in my day agir's slow was used to slow down the bosses to help your cvs land with ark royal 👵
time to grind
well back in my day we had to use formidable 👵
How good is retrofit sandie?
is there any way to farm gold?
one of the best ships in the game
especially for anti air
farm w12, 12-4 in particular
ok thx
Alright thanks
Got another question, when will I hit a wall? Rn doing chapter 9. The enemies are a bit tanks but nothing I can't manage
with your teams
probably w10 or w11 at the current levels
11-3 would be my prediction
if they've grinded up sufficiently, w13
I have like 700 exp book thingys should I use em?
grinding thru 9 and 10 he'd reach 12 atleast
no
has anyone tried jda + alsace for kawameta just to see
shield gets shredded
expected
Try to get 10-4 or 11-1 for beginning. Usually it's near 110-115 lvl fleet. Decrease theat for safe and farm exp there. Having something like unicorn 120 and tank 110 can hold low lvl fleet ship (near 80-100 lvl) for 12-1 safe for grinding tech exp.
At some point having unicorn 120-125 with gold variants barracuda and hellcat you can skip tank. She can clear stages by yourself
is there no option to consume white ships to upgrade meta ships
nope, you need the META materials instead
Did they lock being able to scrap pr guns, I can't scrap my monarch and marco gun
Ah nvm, it just doesnt appear when you do a general disassemble
also the guide says that i should mlb before maxing out levels to save xp is that a big issue
yes
if you hit the cap while your ship is not mlb, all xp you earn on that ship will be completely wasted
how so
if i cap out and i lb one more time wont the cap just increase
METAs and URs are diff from rest
with 0LB they can reach 125
others are locked in 70 for 0lb 80 for 1lb and 90 for 2 LB and once reach 100 chip cap appears
but MLB cap isnt like chip one that u will store XP, once reach the LB cap u will be locked into 0 XP store
chat I need Royal Navy vanguards to get xp for plymouth, any tips on which ones I could use (already using Trafalgar)
literally any HMS VG ... but if u wanna be effective search for ones that gives u gud tech stats ...
eventually u will max all them ... just start with the best Tech stats ...
DR5 won't be coinable until LNY 2026
Even if it's not coinable, might as well do it now
I have 250 plymouth blueprints too
ohh so like if i get level cap before mlb then i lose like 20 levels of xp
DR5 will be coinable with PR6 and so goes on
I already have R30 Brest
30 to be more exactly, cuz u need MLB to reach 100
ok ty
duca degli abruzzi
enterprise
Jervis
Hermione
Theseys
Tashkent
Kiev
San Diego
Bismarck(normal not 2)
Volga
do i retire any of these?
Assuming Ur not keeping useless ships right?
ye thats why i ask
i wanna retire ships that are useless
From wht I know U need sandi,Volga,Jervis,enterprise....rest I'm not so sure
U do need to retrofit Sandi as U will use her alot
definetly not Volga and sandy
max them to 120 them u can start to consider to retire if u wanna but
others are okayish, u can regret later cuz who knows a retrofit or a augment ...
Volga it depends if U have Aquila
so who do i retire then out of all these
do not have aquila
Then keep Volga
The only one worth retiring is Hermione
Keep enterprises,Jervis,Sandi,volga
12-? for coin/xp farming?
12-4 or 12-1
Oh Hermione is good?
o
oh also got pompeo magno
retire or keep
12-1 is mostly xp farming right
1 is mainly for xp 4 is mainly for money

diff is so small that isnt even worth it to bother
complety diff if u compare 13-4 or 14-4 to 12-1/4
I just go 4 cause still need money
Also rerun in 2days might want to keep some oil or get some money ready for UR pull
if u wanna coin, go to 14-4 or 13-4 ... 12-4 isnt much a thing only for coin, start to change if u need lvl ships, literally 6 ships and not waste 1 slot with healers
I'll see if I can auto 13-4 tonight
does sound better then 12-4
if the purpose is only coin, them yes ...
But level still 12 better ?
Worth retiring
Oh I read wrong mb
Because you can use lower level ships
But need good gear to do that
At least decent
Who i should use ur bulin to ?
And for 13 you need both good gear and good levels...
Should i*
definetly no ... u can do all 6 lvl 70-90 with skills lvled and poverty gears and still done 12-1 farm
How many UR bulins do you have
4
Implacable then
🙏
Y not wait zwei?
She's coming in 2days
If i put ur bulin on zwei it would be better than use on implacable ?
Using on w13-15
Can't really answer U that by just looking at Ur URS
May i ask whats " MLB " ?

Especially when only shinano is max limit broken (MLB)
🙏
Right U need at least 3cv,3bb
hello, i just come back to the game, anyone can help me to understand how i can actually get the black rock shooter? like remove the npc thing, i think it requires me to let her into the battle? and put her in dorm asap?
Just grind the highest campaign maps you can reasonably clear
While yes, it will speed up if you use her in battle
Max limit break
You absolutely dont need to
U got1 day to complete their event by just playing the game with her in fleet
And this pic is relevant how?
nvm, i will be grind for her whole day today
it's not
Just telling him there's 1 day left
Under 2
There's definitely more than a day left lol
It genuinely doesn't take that long anyways
i missed the lion i know, bcoz bluestacks literally blocked my google playstore in nougat version, i have no time previously so i forced to miss out something, i just have some free time today and tmr
grind until you can get 350 points, ideally 500 for her augment
that's how you get her permanently
Use LD player I have been using it for 2years not a single problem
using BRS to clear gives you 2x pts
which ship is being reran in 2 days ?
Bismarck 2
Is is possible to have all units in barracks without buying gems? So like can I get enough gems to expand dock to 800 or whatever it is?
No
technically yes, but not in short term
isn't she top BB material ?
completely f2p can get you to 300+ or so
Oh god
You'd need to add in anniversary gems and cny gems
play 5 years and you can get 800 dock f2p
Over a few years worth
but I do have a lot of BB, and I'm lacking in CV department, so idk if I should pull for Bis2
Oh ok when is anni?
you get tickets anyway
August
true, this game really is f2p friendly
How many gems do we get?
You should still
Also, we did have 2 UR CVs at the start of the year...
Technically 3 if you count Implacable
First 2years gonna be hard ,my friend f2p he now just stuck on 300 slot
Shd be 800 this year
through campaign, a good amount, anni is 800, and if you spend like 10 bucks on the pass, you get an extra bunch for each pass
Being stuck in 300 slot is such a pain
I agree
And my friend went for collecting sakura ships.... So that's even more tough
His whole dock only sakura and meta ships... Don't even have unicorn 
I'm looking at your username and I'm thinking an unicorn augment that gives her another skill could happen
tell him to use Ryuuhou, no Unicorn is tough
Zuihou is dying in a ditch
zuihou is homeless
Its fine he gave up this game already 
orphan
sup mogs
how effective is this as a mob fleet, I'm going to add ryuuhie so please consider that when rating
👋 🤓
how to get those points?
Should I worry about running out of space? And liek what should I do?
Extremely not effective
It will die
guild tech gives you 30 slots, and then, it's all gems
grind campaign the highes you can
Ning Hai and Ping Hai are basically the frailest ships in the game with that team
campaign like? 12-1?
Nelson loses a third of her damage as she's not in flag
ye
like if my fleet can survive at 13-4 then 13-4?
it's okay though, plenty of gems f2p
sorry im not eng main user
just full send it
okay no prob
and you should only spend them for dock expansions, oath rings bundle (2 for 980), and skins if you're gooning
who cares about the meta
I'd grind a stable chapter like 12-4 where i also farm points and level farm my ships just saying
reach for the stars
W15 hard cares
it doesnt exist so does that mean meta doesnt exist
true
only meta is waifu
I went for Brest, R30's her, put a skin and a ring on her, and she ain't even THAT viable
but I have no regrets
yeah she is only one of the best mob tanks in the game that saw a lot of usage in early w15 days
Breast is good
yeah maybe she's good idk i just put on auto and do something else
So if I get 330 unique ships and bullin before I get more gems what do I do?
spend the bulins
Retire the easy to get ones or use the bulins
buy more gems
3 different opinions in 3 seconds
Hehe
retire the MLB Normal/Rares
you could lvl them to 120 before that for +1 HP for CV but who cares
then how should I use Ning Hai and Ping Hai, I heard they were good for world 11
I'd 120 and retire
would this be an improvement? (gold to purple torp)
Oh god this is gonna kill the collector in me…
yeah 120 MLB the normal ones, retrofit them, and eventually kick them out
ningping strat out of date for over half a decade
they don't have to be in the docks, as long as they're in the collection
You need to use them with yat sen to be any good
Also no they're not particularly good for w11
W11 can be steamrolled easily by just overlevelling
yeah you can overlevel until W12 really
the only answer for a collector if you're missing years of free gems is just 💳
Do u guys have any sheet for opsi fleets?
or 120 then retire every single one of them, and sometimes go in the Lab and look at your fleet collection with all the "COMPLETE"
wtf wrong reply 
🤓 ☝️
There isn’t a set fleet
But I use this but with lion instead of Luna
i just say fuck it and spam URs
Genuinely
you realize some people want to keep more than just the library entry
top left is a collab one right?
Thanks
yeah but she isnt important
then yeah they have to pay
that's Luna, replace with Lion 
lion is a bb
so?
Yea, but you don’t use her for her guns
my guess is luna can stagger well between aquila and unicorn right?
Well she fires at 10 seconds with the right setup
oh, right barrage at time0, could work with it
I say, fuck it, no staggers, Lion just kills everything
0s barrage is why she replaced Luna for speed clear staggers
I lowkey don’t know how the barrage works but oh well
Lion staggers it's just not in the way you'd think she does
Is Aquila being put on standard next patch?
Apuila is already perm
Aquila's already on special construction?
why didnt you ask?
Because you are new and you will lose all your cubes
I did, was told to get yat sen and aurora
is that any healer can heal the back from the front?
I have 400…
because we don't recommend heavy/special WW
Broke amount
which is not a lot...
we only recommend light pull picks to replace your daily pulls
I only did wishing well with low cubes because I knew what I was doing
And I may have spent 400 on perma a month before
400 is just one single ur exchange
You'd need over 1k to pull in that wishing well
Nah I’d win
the chance is very good that you wont need it in events
Oh ok. How should I pull on Bismarck 2? Like do daily 3 tix then use cubes on last day?
something like that
do you have any advice for world 12
use good ships, 1 bb 2 cv
make sure you have enough coins for pity though if you're holding out till last day
I have 4k rn…
Crazy
I thought 4k cubes for a sec
👍
get grinding then
you'll need some 150+ non-ticket builds to pity
you have 2 days to 13-4 or some shit
312 cubes to be exact
So I’m screwed…there’s no way I can get that many coins
There is a way
it's 7 days event
get grinding chop chop
Just don’t spend coins anymore
less doomposting more grinding
3 tix a day is basically free 6 days for you
12-4 gives 6K+ per 3 runs
That’s 234k coins….i can’t even fit that many coins in my inventory
put on the high eff books
hard cap is 600k
you can fit 600k
lock in nephew
Damn nnt is broke
also maybe check mail storage no idea if you have any bank
I rarely keep it very high still rolling cats
if I need to it's just a week of not spending or some shit
Oh a cat gambler
I should do that but I have no coins either
i'm at 575k do you want to loan some
What gear on lion?
can i put my cats as collateral
I'm a consistent 12-1 burner it's not like I don't get enough if I want to
460, some secondary, staag/twin 76 UR/ black shell/ white shell
460??
Speaking of that, do you grind at 150 morale?
actually I'm also coming to the end of my 12-1 burn so 
you don't want Lion to shoot
Lion firing is like slowing down the run
3s bullet time totally dealbreaking 
hey 3 seconds adds up
but since she's on meta duty mine is just using Lion gun with table anyway
Same lmfao
Yamato gun?💀
Yea
Mehdenburg
Do u know what that glorious meta fleet is used for 
One striking something
Does alsace preload still count as one strike 

Is there anything worth farming from the event shop for the Bisko rerun aside from PR/DR blueprints?
shop no
gear maybe HT5 instead of HT6 for quad mags
i always buy the 30 purple Auxiliary part since i upgrade lots of said equip. thats just a example to show you that you need to act based on your needs
gold plates is always my goal and i buy alot of stuffs to keep building up my resourcers as i can, so chips, cog chips, cats, shop gears etc...
hello guys can someone help me use the right gear for my ships?
are u new player?
have u push past w9 yet?
ive been playing awhile but ive never knew which gear to use
@rigid prism how about this
idk what W9 means
main champin world 9
half way im at 9-2
nice u can start caring gear so wht do u have
ill dm u
no u make thereat
where?
project alpha
Alpa
It's me in another universe
Is this bug or cheat?
Are there pins or anything about a good comp for the current Meta ship? My usual fleet could use some tweaking
Takao
Much appreciated. Is a second 6CHR AP shell available/worth it, now that we have more Royal Navy big ships?
holy
not particularly
help, any good fleet setups for the current META ship?
i believe your question was answered in... 4 replies above XD
Popular question today!
Is it worth keeping a second copy of Lion outside of having multiple skins? I'm contemplation if I should use my copy for LB or develop her.
Not really
no ship should have a second copy.... unless for waifu/skin reasons XD
Point taken
Lion's great and all. But she's not my waifu.
wtf i gotta download that video
What video?
Is there a good source like https://slaimuda.github.io/ that's updated with rankings and loadouts for the newer ships? I can't decide how much love to give Cleopatra
zero because shes ass

Who to vg for the second fleet?
Guys, who is better to retrofit, Saratoga or Arc Royale
Sara
i guess use helena instead of ply for 3rd, and then go for something like agir/anchorage/guam + ply + mogador....
whats a good full auto team for the new meta fight
if you seriously are asking that then it depends on what you need
I think that looks okay
3rd fleet I can also put in kazu instead of Guam?
tank being sandwhiched is something i thought id never see
and yes kaza will be better
Oh I should have let Guam Frontline lol
slide balti in place of either laff2 or ancho ig
or if you feel funny kirov/Meta works
why is traf in the fleet with no HMS ships
I was told she was a universal buffer
wait thats not lion, thats nakinov...
just ditch Helena and put Traf there

how did you mix up green and w/e lions hair is 
Trafalgar has a evarate debuff which helps everyone but she also has a 10% FP/AVI buff for HMS ships in-fleet
didn't have my coffee, i was also very confused on soy + lion + rumey, i was like, what kind of fleet is that
actually let me check traf's crossfleet it's weird
yeh she buffs off-fleet HMS as well nvm
but I'd say Lion fleet has better use for her
That’s also crossfleet.
thats honestly not a bad comp 
Its for medium armor LOL
yeah but i would think they have nakh already, and do bb fleet up in second fleet XD
honestly it makes very little difference practically at this point
and Helena isn't really doing anything unless you're gaming one-strike kill or something
Honestly it's rare if I could manage that
I could always move lion to naki fleet and slap in lune for mobbing
Since I already have Harbin and Ibuki for the top fleet
"how much more overkill do you want"
I want to never touch my op si fleet again
I just want to start it and forget about it
Final screenshot
That's true for some reason I could never kill the harbiter easily unless it's light armor lmao
4th fleet hasn't been changed in years because it's consistent
if it doesn't die in one fight just throw another boss fleet at it
huh
i run shimagible and sn(if)f and it kills every single arbiter just fine
no idea if it's an adapt problem or if you were struggling against shields
Might be shields, always been the hard arbiter that fucks me over because I just auto the fight
I always sit at around 150 adapt when I start the hard arbi
you need 203 to max bonus
and again if it doesn't die just throw another boss fleet at it
150 is just starting on reducing the adapt penatlies
sorry to ask, how to get her?
Two years until rerun 😭 😭
im cooked
you'll be fine
darn missed 3 weeks. oh well its not like end of the world anyways, current content is easy enough don't worry.
does kears still want mk7 406 for light/med bossing
light, med she wants soyuz gun or 457
There are those with lion and those without, sad life for those without
do I need lion?
No lion? sad
Ok I’ve made it to chapter 9
False I NEED New Jersey.
I'm not repeating myself for this one
What?
how do i unlock this
have you finished ch4
yes
check your missions tab
go to the information tab
anybody have a tierlist I could use
For campaign up to W13: https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home
For basically everything else: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit?gid=0#gid=0
ty
you need to pick a starter
Sorry didn't see this message
ok
What are gold barracuda and hellcat? Is that gear?
oh i still got chapter 4 SP
yes
My gear is meh 😔
we all gota start somewhere
😔✌🏻
a lot of purple gear is still used in the mid-late game
1 great example is toolbox
I have too many of those
u will have alot more as u play
cause as u play u just cba to switch gear and keep on crating more
defult will be steam cat
do u have this ? if so swap toolbox
How can I level up my commander rank faster so I can unlock the private quarters? Also any advice on clearing some of the phase 8 missions for the rookie thing?
he was talking about lion, this is gear for CV's
Yea I accidentally switched to entire but I don't have it
The only gold I have is sg radar
i guess u could craft this? im not too sure if its the right choice
Anyone?
Fire Control Radar is good if you lack a Black Shell, or HSFCR
I've never crafted anything lol where is that?
deport
grind at highest campaign/SP5 at War Archives with 6 ships
depot, bottom right, craft tab
grind the highest stage u can with a full fleet
i am so tempted to say that line again
Say it
tap the paw
I did it
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Akashi/Questline
follow this and she will be giving to u for free
at the cost of unlocking her in ur light pool tho
Fine 😔

where are u in the campaign
?
Chap 9
no idea
start doing gear research at least
that gear shown above but u should focus pr5 or 7 now
I'll do more from now on
for now stick with Q and E if u need
try to avoid them and cubes also
https://azurlaneecgc.com/research/
give this a read
this is way too overwhelming ngl
Yea 😔
its just 1 page 
the easiest steps is to go to the focus area and choose between V and VII then pick Q E
Where even is that
on the bottom right of the research window 
research is on the left of the shipyard
I'm researching roon rn
after 2 years of non stop playing im finally not low on food
my hard work finally paid off
I have no idea what that meant
u first have to go to the research window
Shipyard? Or academy research
if ur going 5 and 7 ur just asking him to skip everything before lol he need those ship to get those tech
lab research
just starting operation siren today
what for fleet 2?
what level ships gotta be, i can level them a lil, i got spare bulins and equipment too
swap ur left and right pos
aight but what for fleet 2?
And where is that man
bottom (Lab)
Lab you mean?
help me with fleet 2 guys
tell me also what level fleet 2 ships gotta be
note that im just starting operation siren so im not in any hard part yet
Lab > Research Academy.
u will be just using fleet 1 for mobs and by the looks of it u just unlocked opsi so 1 team is fine for now
ye but they demand fleet 2
what to put there
A random main fleet ship, anf a random vanguard ship.
ok
I asked shipyard or academy research
it doenst really matter as u have nothing so just random
What now
i was talking to gunslinger
shipyard is for unlocking ships, research is for getting blue prints for shipyear's ship and wep blue prints
Research Focus on the bottom should have a V or a VII to the left of it.
on the bottom right theres a research focus
Yep.
in here his asking u to do taht
So focus on 5 or 6
5 or 7.

I didn't see the second I
I know I was taking abt the message on discord
nothing important
I gotta go for a bit I'll be back to annoy you guys in a bit
we do have PR8 in like 3 or so weeks
how to use tuning samples in operasion siren?
Storage > tap samples > use.
uhh where is storage?
Whts tuning samples
When you’re in a zone, it’s along the bottom of the screen.
which zone
ohhh
unlocked it now
is there anyone present who could give me some advice on how to build and improve fleets. i've messed one up by swapping while sleepy... and would like some advice on how to improve/fix them
Just open up a thread, and share screenshots of your dock and current fleet(s).
and also state what content you're doing
how do i open a thread? never done that before.
is there anyone present who could give
I have 7 selected now
That sounds like a bad idea
unless you already have FdG, Everyone in PR4 except Marco, Plymouth, Brest, and Shimanto
I was told to focus on 5 or 7
that's correct, 5 or 7 is good
I hope so
this is the bad idea
Who should I select?
the catchup mechanic is used for pr4 onward
can be used on fdg but will tank the protocore gain down by a large amount
imo the person needs to make some calculations before using fdg's catchup 
I was also told previously fdg is not a priority since I have lion
unless you have Lion+Zwei on the go then maybe you wanna skip FDG
or some other UR BB
yeah but 3rd bb doko 
warspite 
What do I do 😔
im only seeing a single Lion in your dock
use the catchup on anchorage agir or hakuryuu for now
Wdym
it means you need FDG too on top of Lion
Alright
who told you to skip FDG? 
I still have the screenshot wait
Lucky enough if got a vanguard
Nah
so there's a point in getting FDG 
I have nothing against getting fdg so yea
buuuuuuuut maybe you should wait til zwei event end then decide
not like you're doing her now anyway right?
I'm barely done researching roon
ok good that means you're still on the faction tech grind
But the guy said something abt roon being there is the bad idea
yes
So who instead
I'd priority ancho first tbh
here
they are from PR4
sure
whats this research selection for
roon?
catchup and prioritized research
If anyone says more abt bad ideas imma scream
wait
i can get shipyard ships and their stuff from selecting a PR research or something?
im confused
it helps you get their blueprints and equipment faster
blueprints for what
retrofit or upgrade? or can i just skip tech points with that
no for PR ships
this game bad idea
🏃🏼➡️
cause i lowkey need a lot of points for freddie
everything is bad idea
you don't get tech points through research
BRO HOW DID I FAIL 80% TWICE IN A ROW
how do i get lots of them then
i need freddie

lucky for you there's an ironblood event coming in two days
rerun or event
you get tech points on receive, 120, and mlb
rerun
I sleep 
it's bismarck zwei anyways
ohh okeee
how do i get a lot of xp manuals btw
lecture hall only makes 1 T1 book once in a blue moon
play game
wake me up when they release amagi-chan 2
just do main campaign stages you'll stack up on them pretty quickly
bro js tell me the actual method 💔
ohh ok
another way maybe? cause uhh
(X commander level required)
grind with lv100 ships
excess xp gets converted into books?!
a portion of exp gained on lv100+ ships get converted into exp books
know the exact rate? cause almost my whole fleet is 100
check your lecture hall
Do I save for the event rerun idk if she's good
uhh
yes i heard bismarck 2 is op as hell
and regensburg is hot-
that type 2 rigging is strong
yeah bismark2 blackhole one of the most broken gimmicks in game
tell me more cause im saving for her
You get shipbuilding tickets when a rerun happens about 40ish
So use those before you pull with cubes and coins
how to get said tickets
Event missions and exchange
ok
you have event missions everyday, and 10 tickets in exchange
How do you get cubes fast I only got 40
I was gone for a bit and this what I come back to 😔
pray rngesus to get bismark z within the tickets, otherwise if you got lion, then you are already set for... until they bring up harder contents in like half a year
whats her blackhole pls explain
You can't really get alot of cubes quickly other than whaling. Focus cube giving commission and dailies, weeklies and monthly log in
when firing her thing, blackhole appears and begin sucking nearby enemies in, making sure that they stay in a place basically
oh my god pair this with my lion and we have a even better screen wipe
also im about to have ur exchange soon
who do i pick
shinano or new jersey
New jersey cooler but don't take my word for it
lion should be your only focus right now, you can just keep your ticket until you have more ur bulins...
idc about cooler or prettier i js want something that is so braindead so unskilled that i can turn my brain off even more than i already do
do i use cognitive chip things on her?
yes, lion should be your primary thing, like you know, max level break(use UR bulin to make her full stars), use cog chip to level 125, best equip, so on and so forth
Literally lion, she is one of the top BBs at the moment. Good for bossing and mobbing
When is the event dropping?
Lion is way more braindead , Nj powercreeped by so many BBs these days
Zwei? On 19th
in 2 days
Oh damn
I was lucky last event and pulled lion twice within 15 builds
All my luck is used up
You can just do 3 pulls a day with tickets
Yea I also have 40 cubes
Do your rookie missions
guys i do what the handbook guides tel lme to but it doesnt count
i already made the fleet they asked me to make but the task STILL doesnt count even after clearing a chapter with it
I'm pretty sure you're talking about the missions from Formations section in Mechanics Tutorial?
Have you tried all the task in that section?
What task and fleet are you talking about?
Wait is there an order to the paws? Or reason they are there? I clicked on them as I saw them and got nothing
You have to start the quest before the paws even do anything. And the quest is not useful except for collection very later. If you do it early, then you ever so slightly make your daily light banner build worse
The akashi questline?
yes only the one forming a fleet is not completing despite me making the fleet they wanted and even beating stages with it
What the task say?
assemble a fleet with main consisting of CV BB and another BB
thats literally what i did
everything else it counted but wont count this one
hello, is there a guide for dumb players like me? I played the game in the past(lvl 59 currently) and i have no idea what should i be doing
Hi dumb player, me also dumb player
so many things to do
it's a waifu collecting sim with resource management so not much really
my brain hurts even though its empty
