Collect all the rewards first
done
this is what we have for newbie tips https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
for goals u should push to chapter 12
or farm event during event
then pull on event banners and collect ships
u can learn about gear later or check the guide for equipment stuff
if u are confused ask here
Gimme some coins
12-4 : hi
Not there yet 😔
Maybe it's the flag position, did you keep the CV as flag?
3 staring chap 9 rn
oh cv needs to be flag?
@wind oxide still didnt count it
You guys figure that mission out and lemme know cause I gave up on it lol
yo rate my fleets out of 10
try it in an empty formation, like fleet 3 or 4
Idk what might be the problem then
3/10 and 0/10
Lmao
Step 1: remove all 3 star gold and rainbow ships
did
didnt count still
how
I'm listening 
You're spreading your resources way too thin among 12 ships, and most of them are expensive SRa and URs
What world are you even on?
Whats your fleet
ah, i see you no lion eh
Yeah you are 1 chapter too early to be thinking about a 2nd fleet
chapter 9 means you can actually aim for chapter 11, a lot of gold begin to appear past world 11
rodney hiryuu black rock shooter
bb cv and another bb just like they asked
then put randoms in front
I was thinking abt 2nd fleet at chsl 5 lol
Black rock shooter isn't a BB
bro i filtered by bb
specifically its not a 'bb'
soo should i rush the chapter 8?
Crazy oils and coins
but yeah you can group them together XD
ok i changed to another we good now
until u want to have some fun challenges
then it becomes a little bit more than not much
Yea it'll take a while but I'll get there
There's some husbands as well not just waifus
I... returned...
I also had too much when I came back

i don't care about that
all i care about is big numbers
Fair enough
u returned right after missing lion? or...
Math might be the game for you then, a lot of big numbers
oh you're still on W7 nvm, I thought you were on chapter 8 already
You're actually 2 chapters too early to be thinking about a 2nd fleet then
Luckily I returned as the event started :p
You can go for zwei in 2 days
ah yikes. then assuming you dont have ur bulins for musashi mlb then eh?
Anyone have a clue how to remove characters from here?
tapping doesnt work, dragging doesnt do anything
tap on the ship you want to replace and select someone else
idk, i think my dock is pretty weak actually but somehow it works on campaign
I only want one character in the deck, not 5
it's only working for you right now because everything before W11 is relatively easy mode
I ran out of oil in all my storage. Is this a sign to stop?
do the same thing just unselect all the characters you don't want there and tap confirm
Click on the ship and then select the same ship
dam there is like 800 ships x _ x btw any idea how to search for µ characters? typing that letter didnt work
no I mean unselect the characters you already have as secretaries
I also tried typing "Muse" but didnt work 😦
W9 done, now I need to level up 3 times 😔
yeah, just focus ur bulins on musashi, retrofit that unicorn, choose hood/blackstarrockshooter later when you reach w9, retrofit that independance + portland + saratoga, should be set for even 2 fleets.
it works u just need the good μ like this "μ"
its a sign to top off that gem and buy those delicious oil XD
No buy promise rings
oh weird! cant tell the difference between μ and µ x _ x
I was speedrunning pr6 and didnt know that i was spending wayy to much oil. And biszwei is in a few days.. so im cooked
no u can start on 0 oil and still clear enough whats important in an event
you know you can start an event with 0 oil and still get everything important from it right
its like 4k oil per day or something, if you do commissions and stuff
I am at 95% collection... only thing is holding me back is the PR ships 😦 cant find an efficient way to unlock them, most of the ones I unlocked was through spamming those xp tickets u get for them
- 5k oil from event shop + 1 weekly pack
farm W12 with 3 applicable ships, preferably ones that need levels
it's not difficult nor takes that long
Since it's a rerun. are there any priorities when it comes to the event shop?
I been spamming w12-4, only get like 1% per run, have 1 applicable ship on both teams
the standard
why aren't you using 3
Also, I use those tickets that double oil use, idk if that affects xp or not
you're almost taking 3 times as long
why 3 specifically?
why 1?
why not, more XP per run
why 1 fr
limited gear if it exists, the shop ship if u missed her cogs, arrays, oilpack and w.e else u fancy
you're not saving oil running just 1 because oil caps exist
3 is more than 1
is 76mm better AA than staag for backline from an AA perspective?
does using those tickets that double oil use per run affect xp?
yes
you double your XP gained but also your oil and morale cost
so why only use 1 ship?
I'm gonna guess just doesn't know oil caps exist/don't know how they work
cause I dont understand why using more than 1 would do? doesnt that just give you same amount of points?
no
each ship you use that's applicable will contribute however much XP they earn
so using 3 ships vs 1 will quite literally give you times the XP/progress
the other issue is.. if I use more than 1, I have to build them, rigth now I am using 1 random applicable ship per team, and other 5 just carry it
Do you have exp packs to level ships up
yes I do, the issue would be gearing no the level cap
yeah don't overestimate how difficult W12 is
I thougth w12 was pretty hard x _ x
that is my current farming team
Then how do you normally play the game, just use full level 125 fleets for events and coin farming?
Its not.
I have 2 fully built teams, I always just use them
thats 12 ships out of 800 or w/e it is now lol
oh my, i guess you never bothered to learn the faster and more efficient ways to play eh. glad to have you here, free to ask XD
I am just casual player for 3 years x _ x I just been collecting ships, now PR ships are my last obstacle for full collection
You have Houston II? 
How can they have w15 ship if not past w12? 
if he thinks 12-4 is pretty hard already, i think questioning bunkerhill is more applicable XD
heh
I never said I didnt beat w12? I said it was hard to beat with random ships for farming PR XP
pffffft
your gearing sense must be awful then
or you just never gear any shitters you attempt to level
Correct, I have no idea how gearing works, I asked here the other day, but they only helped me choose gear for my 2 main teams
I do it with purple lvl 0 geared ships 
照猫画虎
ye idk why ppl assume everyone always plays in tryhard mode like them x _ x
did you in any way at least try to gear them
I just completed chapter 9 no flex
this is far from try hard mode
it is pretty basic stuff
It's not tryhard though, at the very least you could copy your primary fleet's gear to ships of the same hull type

aye, and most people don't even bother to do that
can't even 照猫画虎
can't even moon rune fr
cant I just whale for PR ship exp tickets or something, like the ones u get from cruise missions
no
unfortunately im low lvl to complete chapter 9
you can whale for them its like $15 per ship though
as I said earlier too, really not difficult
where can I buy them?
in akashis shop for real money
isn't the pass one time purchase only for each seson and only goes up to PR4 and doesn't cover the DRs at all
my ships dont have muscles, yet

Just grind stages
yes
so that doesn't really solve the issue at hand then
not sure if theres a limit per season though
pretty sure there is
Just afk auto clear until you unlock the next stage
Also event in 2 days you'll be able grind a lot with your 40k or so oil
1 per season
im doing this until im lvl 60
Yes
oh just checked, its only 10$ in american money, the 15$ lets you upgrade them
9-1 has oilcap, soooo...
I think cases like this is what ectl is built for. Literally just pick 3 level 100 ships of the correct faction and position, copy gear, and farm chapter 12 for 10 days per PR ship
I forgot that there are oil caps at chp9.
only goes up to 4 tho... I need 5-7 >_<
yes, unfortunately, i have to be lvl 60 for unlocking chapter 8. Then, i will complete the chapter 8. Finally, if i have enough patience, i will unlock the chapter 9 then finish it.
Us experts remember -5
(or atleast old players)
Is u556 meta any good in the coming event.
Its alright. Just grind it given your commander level
Leo side grade in solo fleet
Rats
You got this
Hmm any way to grind for flasher
wait for her to rerun
Oh lamo no idea she was event
I'm stuck on Operation Siren:
I have secured the NY City sector but still cannot access any other port.
You need to finish a map in NY section, check which is done but has no completion star
1 star doesn't mean having the completion star
Screenshot the lower left quarter of the map
I only have access to the blue part, and all have the "Gain control" star (the first)
Don't think that will help much, you don't see who got the missing star from that
Why tf would you need stars?
Restart the game, if you still can't do story then email customer support
You need the first star to proceed 
We've seen this lots of times
Just go through this list and find the area where the first star isn't checked
oh wow bismarck zwei is UR i didnt even know
It's what I said, all zone that I have access to have the first star checked
Could you post the 15 screenshots in a thread?
how do i unlock the red zone, i have finished ch4 already
clear any adjacent zone
Do chapter 5
i see
No, but the last zone he hasm't cleared, and the objective to move is there... as I said, this happened dozens of times 
yeah the adjacent zones don't have borders for some reason
Cause no chap 5
oh
Operation Siren Screenshots
I'm looking at Halford's skills, and her red skill, the seaplane barrage, mentions that it increases cannon damage the enemy takes for 6 seconds. However, the skill says the seaplane barrage is shot out at 15s. With the timing of how long the planes take, is it synced to 20s BB guns? Or no?
i see i just started ch5 and now i have unlocked it yay
the planes are launched too far forward to even hit enemies 
its like the sole reason why she is the worst PR ship
I'm aware of the bug, I was more so curious about the supposed timing on it.
Like if you'd need to use faster BB guns, or if you would've just used the usual 20s guns
5 sec diff is a lot for timing, probably faster BB guns
Aside from OpSi and the guild shop what is the best way to farm a ton of gold plate to do chapter 15-4?
The thing is, does the debuff set once hit by the planes? If so, do they strike long enough after launch that they would allow for 20s guns?
That's it, event goals is a 3rd way
and i guess the level i do in Opsi doensn't affect the drop either ? I can stick to level that have a high corrosion level to farm as their is a lot of mob fleet
I lost my old Account, is there any way to bring back my old Ships to a new Account?
But it's every 15s. How will you sync BB guns that fire every 20s?
True
Do all special coordinates and zones and explorable zones before farming safe zones on repeat
Repeating zones wont give gold parts anyway, but special zones and cat nodes do
i have all special zone clear , and my best option is cat node to farm
i never heard of such thing
the best u can do is try ways to recover ur old account
Then corrosion 3 or 5 safe zones
are level 6 not worth it ?
Same expected number of cat nodes as c5 for more AP cost
anyway i could have autosearch mode on in hard mode stages with having only the boss spawning?
Wdym
x3 times yes 
it is called clear mode
In term of Ap to cat node , i guess i can get more of my ap in this zone , as they melt like snow under sun
ive been playing azur lane pretty blindly for a year now, just collecting what ships/gear I can, and I feel like i could make a really solid team to help carry me to endgame at this point but I still don't really know what i'm doing 
is there a way that i can show what i have and have someone tell me whats the most meta fleet i could build/ what i should be farming?
i wanna clear the escort ships for the second star but i also dont want to do it manuallu
make a thread
like on reddit? 
Then no it is not possible to have auto search
You can disable clearing mode for that, still allows auto I think
ohh this is some funky discord feature i dont know about
Reddit is terrible for advice 💀
ive been playing azur lane pretty
okay… but I think nothing will work because I only remember the name and the first meta ship (sheffield)…
if u don't remember how u linked the account or u didn't buy something and saved the receipt email somehwere then it is gone for good
I linked it with apple-ID but somehow it disconnected
TBH i don't know much about account recovery
#tech-support are more knowledgeable
There is no apple id login for azulane
Yes there is one -_-
is there? should just be Yostar account binding at this point
Where would I obtain the higher tier meta skill training books?
which is basically just an email bind
There is, I have my account bound to multiple myself, including apple.
I just noticed this thing exists, is this better than the HMS twin 134 on IJN ships when not worrying about Planes? Or is the twin 134 still better in those cases?
Doubt it
That FP buff is conditional on firing the AA gun itself which barely happens in OpSi
Actually you’re misunderstanding the wording (unless it’s mistranslated). It’s saying it always has the 5% increase, but it decreases to 2.5% when the AA guns fire.
Apple ID is honestly the only consitent way these days other then defualt yostar, twitter and facebook shit the bed
Need 300 fp to match the HMS twin 134.
Oh
Tho still, doesn't really feel that worth it
FB messed me up XD
Most Sakura vanguard ships have at most 300 FP, so if the guns fire at all it's worse than the HMS twin 134, while if they don't fire it barely matches or is still worse.
It's only going to be better for BBs , even then hit is still better
Unfortunately, there are no BB Vanguard ships.
Azuma has 314 FP at lvl 125, for reference.
-
just installed the game and it has soooooooo many events, characters etc. idk where to even begin and i dont want to miss out on anything. what should i focus on rn?
-
what pulls do i save and why? can i just pull standard banner whenever and keep the special tickets for something? if so what?
-
any beginner guide resources that i can find on here?
-
what type of units do i fill my team with? any comp? like 1 support, 1 dps or whatever.
that's an extra 15.7 firepower by my math
lordy just installed te game. but its okay, bismark z rerun is soon XD
Vs +15 fp on the HMS twin 134.
It's very niche for what it does
two conditionals for a 5/2.5% buff is very not worth it, unless you want that buff (or think the gun is cool)
Unless it's dirt cheap, I wouldn't craft one over crafting a twin 134 instead. But if you want to, or already have it, sure it's usable.
Giving it +15 to FP instead would make it good
I guess maybe it’d be worth considering for a ship that requires IJN equipment for some sort of buff at the very least.
this newbie guide has way too many terms and is too confusing
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
The only one I can think of it Kit-cat
What particularly is confusing?
feel free to ask in this chat if you have any questions
The Research DD
She can equip the IJN UR DD gun though
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/dayonetips/guildshop
try that, might be a bit easier to follow with different formatting
Yeah, but I don't think any IJN ship buffs themselves with an IJN AA gun
Is Forbin good?
I would have to check
I mean, some ships will just ask for any equipment of their faction.
tbh, everything here. idk what permanent means in this context, powercreep, how the pity works, bulins, mlb and why i shouldnt pull for permanent URs?
That too
TLDR: Don't pull permanent banners outside of 1 daily Light pull (because it's free).
do you know what powercreep means first off?
Permanent means ships that aren’t limited to events.
Any suggestions for a DD with oath skin? Because I have 4 Rings left for my main fleet
just oath whoever you like and ignore hull types
yes, but idk which one is the power crept one
But I would like to have a DD in my Vanguard 🙂
none of the UR dds have an oath skin except for yuudachi I think
I mean, does it matter
you won't be maxing out pity anytime soon regardless and even if you did, you'd still need a month or 2 to get the resources(mainly the bullins) to max limit break them
Which one do i pull on?
Save for event
do one light pull a day and save for events
TLDR: Don't pull permanent banners outside of 1 daily Light pull (because it's free).
these are all "permanent"?
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/dayonetips/gachapull
also, just read this
event banner will show up here
oh okay, and light, heavy, special are just types of ships?
no
pools of ships
All these DDs plus Janus (who I don’t have) have oath skins. Who you like is who you like though. Laffey 2 also technically has an oath skin, but it’s just base Laffey’s oath skin.
is jeane d'arc able to drop by farming b3 in sword oratorio?
yes
yes but I wouldn't bother with B3
but D3 has the guarantee after 60
makes sense i was just thinking of using b3 to farm some combat xp for pr ships with the drop being a bonus if it happens
B3 doesn't have an oil cap though
Which are the permanently available UR ships?
B3 doesn’t have oil cap and has poop xp rewards so it’s kinda bad
Click on “view choice” in the UR Exchange box on the build screen.
Hi, I need an opinion from you guys who play more siren and W15, at the moment I have few yellow pieces to improve level, I have around 650 of them, which weapon would be a good cost benefit, or better said where would be a good investment?
where do i find the server im in so i can join a guild?
make 2 wyverns then come back
well I wouldn't priortize +13ing stuff strictly for campaign but as far as aux plates go you can +13 those 2 fire control tables
-plus13
Ahh thanks 😅
/plus13
also play more operation siren so you can get the mats needed to actually +13 stuff
wait this isn’t ectl
Vanguard or Kronshtadt?
wtf samheart guide outdated
vanguard
Vanguard assuming you have shiano mlb
Kronshtadt is the worst of the UR CB right now, so I’d say Vanguard of the two. However, like was mentioned, it’s good to get your URs you already have MLBd, so if you have a Shinano or another UR who’s not MLB, and their dupe is available in the UR exchange pool, it’s better to go for that for the time being.
I have around 2000 auxiliary parts, is it worth improving?
is Kron the worst UR CB?
yes
the only other ur cb is Guam so take that as you will
So Vanguard thx
the rest are dr
id rather play Kron than agir
Higher corrosion zone = higher probability of gold mats?
💯
Obviously when one says UR in that context, it’s meant to include URs and DRs.
DRs?
just say rainbow in that context then
and plus even if you were referring to all rainbow large cruisers Azuma still falls below Kronshtadt
Brest ?
Will Yorktown II ever come back?
Brest is more useful than either of them
yes
Ain’t no way you’re saying Brest is bad
War archive most likely sometime next year
Im not
~~ I was saying we forget about brest ~~ sorry long day for me
~2 years for rerun, then ~1 year after that for WA/permanently added
Brest is the worst French CB
Bismarck II better then Bismarck, right?
Oh yea
well .. yea
Top 2 bb still i think.
I’m just an Idiot lol
no shes top 5 at least
lion and alsace are top 2 iirc
Tbh, I forgot about Azuma. So Kronk is second. Agir, I still feel she is middle of the road, she’s always felt pretty good to me.
I just oathed Bismarck and upgraded her. But I should wait for Bismarck II and oath her and upgrade her… 🥲🤦♂️
Lion easy 1 but aslce idk about that.
Only 2 years until I will get her… 🥲
meh, she'll probably get powercrept by then
I mean, Shinano seemingly hasn’t been yet despite being the first event UR (as in not a retrofit). It depends on if they design a new ship that covers Lion’s strengths.
I meant Alsace
Ah. Yeah I don’t know enough about Alsace to comment on her.
it says to replace a ship with a battle ship. im on the overview of one of the ships but dont see any type of ship
and all I'll say is, I've been around since before NJ was released, I still remember when she was hot stuff and by the time Zwei rolled around she was well and truly out of the meta
similar has happened with Zwei, she hasn't even rerun and Lion already largely booted her out
they release at this point a minimum of 2 UR BBs a year, powercreep is rampant among UR BBs
I mean, I also have been around that long. It’s just a matter on what niche or job they design a ship for.
Screenshot the part of the guide where it says that
what niche lamo
it's not like even Shinano is immune to powercreep either
even on heavy Soyuz and Nahkimov are looking to replace her for METAs
use Saratoga in that last spot
what about penny?
i nmeed to change that with a battleshipif i have one
keep her for now
Use Penny for now.
A Battleship, one word. The acronym for that type is “BB”.
Pennsylvania is a Battleship
is there a resource somewhere that explains all types?
this game is very complex
The hull types are denoted by the icon on the top left of their portraits.
If you want to quickly filter to only Battleships, tap Sort and then tap BB.
no, especially since capabilties can vary wildly across hull types
it seems that blackrock is a battleship, why not use that? its high rarity i think
because for you she's a temporary unit and she's leaving in less than 36 hours
oh
https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/#ship_types can be a quick reference source. Don't scroll down, there's a lot of (useful) info that will just confuse you.
and you can't realistically make her pemanent at your stage of the game in the time remaining
If you do manage to make her permanent, she'd be good, but no point until you do.
so is there a max amount of BB or other types i can have in my team?
You can't put 4 BBs in a fleet
you can have up to 3 main fleets(BB, BCs, CVs, etc) and 3 vanguards in your team
ah, so 3 slots for vang and other 3 for litterally anything else?
3 slots for main fleets, 3 slots for vanguard ships. And when you unlock them, 3 slots for subs in a different fleet.
Why is this considered an important part?
ah okay, then is important to know what vanguard and main fleet are?
It's a seaplane that came equipped on a seaplane only carrier like Chen Hai. It's just warning you if you get rid of it you might not have an alternative, but that's not necessarily true.
This is what i got btw
Because the devs said so. But that doesn't mean it's actually important
main fleets are the ships that go in the back row of your fleet
vanguards are the ships that go in the front row of your fleet in very simplified terms
vanguard is the skills i use no? they arent on screen
no
If vaguards had the portrait popup then we wouldn't see shit with how many times some of them spam their skills
Ah oke, because I found out I have 32 of these cloghing up my warehouse🤦♂️
The portrait popup is only for when BBs fire salvos or Carriers launch their planes
350 trust in 33 hours for black rock shooter. Or 500 trust for augment. When chapter 1 and 2 give zero and chapter 3 gives 7 per run without doubling, not really feasible for an actually new player
Do i lose everything in my opsi inventory when it resets?
Is it recommended i just let everything convert to vouchers or should i try to use everything?
To list out every ship type that goes in each spot:
Main Fleet ships: BB, BC, BM, BBV, CV, CVL, AR, IX(M)
Vanguard Ships: CA, CL, CB, DD, DDG, AE, IX(V)
bro, how do i even start to understand this game
Read that picture. I think you’re just overthinking it.
just don't get too hungover on hull types
okay i just do story and max out all these 6 ships?
Yes
Then once you get to W9 you can consider working on a 2nd fleet
any other activities i should do in the mean time to not miss out?
Not really right now
Iirc you unlock research sometimes before W9 but it's not really something you should hard focus on until like W12
Keep doing your daily light pull and grind as well so you have enough currency to pull for event ships
Bruh I just remembered I had the 6th anniversary ticket 😭
Who’s worth grabbing from that?
try to use everything
I remember someone saying that I will obtain a ring from every anniversary, is that right?
Anniversary is when?
August
Who's in it and who do you have
what formation do i use?
Double line
only Sirius is notable in that whole thing
why is that the best for anything?
It's the best for keeping vanguard alive. If your main fleet dies to airplanes, then consider circular formation
will all of thios make sense eventually when playing the game?
single line almost all times will not gives u enough buff to be relevant, so u wanna them alive, cuz ships alive do dmg, dead does not
once they do enough dmg, will not be pushing content, more like farming
Depends on how invested you get into the game. Some people play for 5 years and still don't understand anything, but they still beat 90% of the game and have 90% collection because the game is easy
i wanna know what im doing tough. not just do the right thing
me that understood quite much about the game, play for all years, and have under 90% collection cuz idc about it
Reno, Bremerton, Shoukaku, Bismarck, Sovetskaya, Jeane, and Pola. All I have so far is pola
probally its Rossiya, but there is like (for now) 4 or 5 Sovetskayas
Yeah it’s rossiya
Just tryna see if any of them are worth grabbing for research or make my team better
When you guys say clear the entire opsi map, do you mean get all the resources and caches or sink every fleet
May or may not have let the rally points get out of hand
probally go for techs, cuz i dont see any uses for any of this in meta
so between Rossiya and Bis is my guess, but this it will depends more on ur resourcers like Chips and Bullins ... if u are trying to get a better fleet, that means u are short on bullins and not in W12, so hold it till u reach in farm lands and have a gud amount of resources to invest
Press Auto Search
Is there a gear setup for soyuz-nakh fleet for KawakazeM ?
I’m currently in w14
so im a short and extreme simple answer
only URs are a upgrade for ya
cuz everything nowadays rely in URs
These were the teams I’ve been currently running
seens fine for W14
it wont happening W15
😭gonna need more UR? Or are there and SR worth grabbing?
W15 its diff from W14, its focused into AA, and both fleets have really weak AA output
4 salvo with max rld tech and oaths
Is it gona still work if Lion not oathed?
It just loses like 1/11 of Lion's volleys
Tbh even in w14 the teams im using are getting beat
I see. Thank you
so seens like gear problem
cuz that should be enough to
how do u equip these to the collab units?
mlb them
MLB the ships you'll see a 6th Equip Slot
ooh ok
Damn really? I’ve been following that tier list that has the recommended gear for each ship and it seemed like I had pretty good gear
yeah
wut tier list ? ...
probably ectl, and as usual no gearing context
Is perseus good enough sustain to clear w13 onwards?
she drops off in 14 + 15
Unicorn retro is better
Any replacements? I'm kinda needing one for my second fleet if it matters.
you shouldn't need a healer for the boss fleet
not like Unicorn will be hard to level either 
I already have her maxed out. So im future proofed
Future proofed until w16 has reverse healing 
The slaimuda tier list on GitHub I noticed my ability to clear seemed to decrease the more I geared my ships like the website had it
Then im cooked.
because you're blindly using it without looking at the recommendations, ECTL does not work by descending order
ECTL mentioned 
Everytime i go to the private quarter my frames drop to like 10 fps, anyone know how to fix this ? This only happen in the private quarter btw
I’ve been checking out the recommendations and tried to cater my gear to it
I got a promise ring and DEAD MASTER is max on love affection. Do I use the promise ring or do i save it for later. Also wanted to ask how to get mor promise ring?
Use it if you really really like her, you can get more by buying them in the shop or on special occasions where they are given out for free
the best tier list is the chinese one cuz i can't understand it
Honesty save it if I were you and MLB a UR ship
Where the 12% stat boost can go a long way
how does a +10 lion gun compare to a +13 nj gun?
its worse
im debating +13ing either it or the sap gun even though im fine on bb guns rn, just not sure if i should do that or just start diving into vanguard guns
the current meta showdown is light armor and the fleets for it uses 1 lion gun and 1 mk7
if you dony struggle one shottting or dont care abt it
could always hoard plates
im struggling cause im missing some key stuff. i only have one rainbow control table and no eldrich retro
how much tickets you can obtain through the rerun lite?
44 iirc
44 tickets for ur rerun event
How long does it normally take to 120 a common ship ? I need fleet tech
Could be as fast as 1 minute if you have the exp packs ready
How many packs ?
/wiki experience
Ty
3235675 exp which is about 1100 t1 exp packs
That'll give you a level 120 ship with 💔
So i can get about 3 reload stat 💔
just 12-1 and grind it out
2x toolbox on traf or toolbox and fire hydrant?
for what
bossing like siren or arbiter
id run toolkit and a 550 hp aux
tk and goldburn is good
i dont have goldburn
any 550 hp aux
closest to that i got is double toolkit so ill just run that ty
If you don’t want to actually use your fleet tech shitters, If you put 6 common ships in the dorm and put every xp book you get into them, it takes around 24 days to level 6 ships from 100 to 120.
hwah jah retro does fine enough without exploding in 12-1 right
like she can pull her own weight and provide some damage
Yeah she’ll live
Yuh
nice
6x 150% fighters go brrrt
I don't own a single la9 yet #notevensurviving
any main fleet ship works with Akashi in 12-1
Who i should get in permanent pool ? ( Already have Nj , shinano ) Or i should wait until musashi in permanent ?
is shinano max limit break?
no>get shinano
yes>vanguard
NJ too?
Yes
mkII is a sidegrade
Lion gun is about the same performance
Did that and aksshi died
massive skill issue
Should I invest in black rock shooter augment, or hood augment?
BRS is level 90 5/6 stars, hood is 80 5/6 stars. Im hesitant to use my gold bulins on characters that might not see endgame
use a fire extinguisher
BRS because you won't have to spend 10k coins crafting it
also I hate to break the news but the likelihood of you getting a ship early on that'll be used until end game outside of Unicorn and Helena is slim to none
not to mention SR Bullins aren't quite that scarce in the first place
Tai yuan retro is pretty solid, right?
Can get it from guild shop
if you can afford 1600 core data worth of gear on her
Ah.
among other issues
her retrofit item will cost you 1/4 of a UR Bullin's worth of specialized cores not to mention the DDGs don't exactly see the most use in end game to begin with
even more if I buy the rainbow stick
what
I think he means oxy torp?
it's a Torpedo, not a stick
It looks like a stick to me
not that the DDGs would even use it anyway
clearly have never seen a torpedo before sigh
actually oxytorp isn't the worst thing on DDGs but durability comes first
I was thinking something that boosts FP for offensive auxes
Does torp stat affect missile??
yes
I mean it occupies the same slot as the torps
and it kinda doesnt make sense to make a whole new damage stat for what's currently 4 ships
missile damage scales with trp but effects that uniquely affect torps don't affect missiles
not sure if it's true for TY and FS barrages but it's comparable for AS and CC because missile dmg is huge
how long do you have to wait to get the akashi's Message?
the Homecoming event for returners
somewhere in the range of over a month
CN said it was what 30 days but only if you haven't activated it in the previous 3 months or something
the game or the Account?
What is Akashi message
somewhere between 0 and 312
the returnee missions
hmm alright
stop logging in for about a month and you get it
Expect to spend 64, but plan to go 312 in the worst case
Ive been saving cubes all month, sitting at 200
The coins on the other hand...
i have my friend Account so yeah
well not specifically returnee I need it to do rally on my main acc 
One last thing
Backtracking to black rock and hood, you said gold bulins arent terribly rare
I should limit break both?
They'll both be good until mid/late midgame, yeah?
just collect them dont do anything like the to love ru ships
you don't need to use both at the same time and you don't want to spread out your bulins
BRS is a good BC nothing wrong with raising her
I was gonna use one for mobbing, one for boss fleets
yeah I'm just gonna remind you of this tid bit from the TOS
nah i just collect them
my friend gave its fb to log his Account
if you already have a good BB MLB, max limit break BRS for your other fleet
that's for you

if it's just temporary it's fine
if it's a more permanent arrangement however that is a violation of the TOS
Tyty
Off I go
We should play wowsh sometime :]
not buying just he gave to me to grind the cube and money
the TOS says gifting, etc is all strictly prohibited
Yeah that's against tos
ohh i see
Suggestions for Levelling

i didnt realize that i didnt have enough augment modules to make all the unique modules. is there anyway to farm for them or buy them with recources?
You're not meant to have enough so uh lol
WHY THATS EVIL
The game just flat out doesn't give you enough resources to craft all of them
Even when doing the daily raids for augment mats
Or the limited ones
It shd be noted some are just plain worse than the default options
oh im just on completionist grind. got all the girls and at end game
was hoping there was some way to just grind them...
Good luck getting everyone to level 125 too
ah i got all IB ships to 120 the moment i got them... now its subs XD
they need to expand fleet tech... i have so many points in ib
Does hermit need to be manual’d?
Of course not
None of the arbiters need to be manualed
maybe if you follow redditors' recommendation of picking shimakaze from UR pity 
shimakaze best perm ur torp trust
turns out forgetting you have parallel torps on all your opsi cvs leads to shall we say reduced damage against bosses
I've heard that 🦁 can be used for opsi fastmob purposes (i guess because of her barrage?) is this actually legit?
Boss/mob both yea
I'm guessing we want to delay her firing as much as possible then, so 2 pencils?
Why?
To avoid the irl timestop when BBs fire
the fight ends in 4 seconds even if u give her a 10 second gun that doesn't exist yet she will not fire it
4 seconds is 2 seconds faster than my Aquila/Percy/BearnM setup, that's huge 
i think the fights end before 4 seconds i just wanted to be sure that i put a number that fits the interval 
Yea, just run 2 pencils and 460
460 as in yamato gun gaming?! 
You don’t want her to fire
Lmao
Like, the opsi boss fleet would want her more anyways
but but my 4 sec clear...
I don’t even use my bb fleet , so I stack cross fleet
I mean I could fit her with my BBs but they're there more for xfleet than anything, sometimes clearup
depends on the fight if c1 or c3 maybe
My c5/6 fights sometimes go down to :39 idk if it’s normal
Sounds normal
u didn't watch the c5 4second clear
?
Idk, maybe my vg doesn’t do enough damage
Do you know what node it was fighting
Azuma, Nelson, King George. Best choice is…?
For a newcomer, Nelson
if you have all of them mlb/fs5 with aug then Izumo
if coming in looking for a BB then Nelson
based on my op cn reading skills
it looks like a 3△ cv
I’ll try Perseus
@whole crypt do you prefer 124 harbin or 120 hinden to mob ops
depends on the other ships they cover different niche
And now?
I’m going with z52, ibuki, harbin rn
Honestly, does z52 do much
large nodes in c5+ definitely take more than just having Lion plus a preload carrier to do sub 10s
Azuma isn't a BB so lol
I'd take Hindenburg in that case
Yes
Azuma is a CB or large cruiser
That's a frontline ship
I do feel like the lion barrage on top of cvs are pretty useless
Lion should hit before the carriers
Maybe, or I could raise luna for that 10 second strike

too
We shall see in a month
I'm slowly giving up on bothering anyway
besides just being somewhat completionist the only reasons I have to do OS nowadays is gold plates and META skills
What do you mean by why
They just have different guns 
I don’t care about stars so
I don't have to care about stars so
Bro got 360
and you?
270
Or something
Can Opsi also fill the 5k special core event for a UR bulin?
Help, how to remove this effect?
just move around it wears off
Do I need more then two fleets and a sub fleet in higher chapters?
about Ch 9 ~ Ch 10 you want a second fleet, by Ch 14 you want subs.
and in w15 u need an support fleet 
The server has tag now?
not the channel 
which ship good for support fleet?
So three fleets?
not exactly 3 fleets, more like 2 1/2
Hi, I am wondering is there a list of good ships for positions (main tank, off tank, healer, flagship etc) for fleet building. I know of the Community Teir List site, just wondering if there is a document listing out which ships for what roles
rumey hwa jah cat
indomi lusty implacable
3rd is like 3CVs only
On samheart's guide site there's a fleet building guide that gives you some examples of good ships for certain roles
Is samheart's guide in the pinned comments? Sorry, I've collected too many ships that its a bit daunting for me to find what works. 
Contains guides about the mobile game Azur Lane! Developed by samheart564.
Thanks! 
It is in /guide
if i already have a plus 13 mk7, shld i plus 13 the mk2
if u need to do it do it
is Friedrich Carl a better tank than Jervis? On Campaign?
i wanna ask a question that the ur ships runs in 3 months right but after lion ur why they realase another ur bismark sorry my english is bad but i hope you will understand my point
it's a rerun
it's run number zwei of bismarck zwei
new UR is 3months in between but reruns are not included within that frame
Do I just have to re clear chap 8 or how does this work?
hw do i unlock forward base
yes, but should skip those researches
Alright
clear the zone around it
or are you still in the story part?
🫃🏼 im not familiar with opsi naming
that is a must avoid research
you've probably not completed the story
the text should scroll, these researches need you to clear stages of a particular chapter or higher several times, we don't recommend doing it
forward base should be middle, you need to finish ch5 and unlock monthly arbiter for it
yea not only it is tedious but also their drop rates is garbage
It should scroll. But does it?
small indie company
pls understand
may I know the specific information about the Harmony buff mentioned within Friedrich Carl's Blue Skill? is it a/an Offensive/Defensive type of buff that I don't specifically know? or does it go well with her Red skill, which does proc if allies have the Harmony buff?
Why is that?
Alright
poor returns, long duration, extra requirements you may need to go out of your way to fulfill
😔
the harmony buff is not really a buff, its just a skill effect given to allies
her red skill looks at all allies with that skill effect then makes them fire a barrage
its also given permanently for the rest of the battle, and due to the skill wording theres an implied limit of maximum of 2 ships with the effect at a time (self + rear vanguard)
thanks for the clarification 
is Update tonight or tomorow?
Need help with my 3D dorm lagging and barely responsive when I slide-touch my ship girl.
Are you on phone?
unfortunately the 3d dorm has higher system requirements than the game itself, so if your device is not powerful than 3d dorm will be laggy as a result
you can try tinkering with game settings and seeing if that fixes anything
anyone mind sharing some fleets capable of full autoing 14-4
musashi unicorn aquila plymouth sandiego eldridge
lion amagi shinano napoli unzen anchorage
any replacements for napoli? i have her but only dev17
agir
❤️ thank you i will give that a try
by amagi you mean cv ofc?
Who should i replace (dead master will be replace for bismask)
is this for mob?
actually either way replace trafalgar she isn't MLB
and don't replace dead master with bismarck unless you can MLB bismarck (they're not comparable to begin with)
I see but she skill fine ye?
Yea im surely get atleast 2 bullins UR after the event so
And gacha
her skills are great but since she's not MLB she's greatly hindered
there's a bulin in the accumulation rewards for biszwei's event but it depends on which UR ship needs it the most
So traf not MLB cant compare with portland MLB?
well they can't compare at all they fill different roles
Oh
Portland is mainly a tank and Traf is a more of a support with good damage
Thats why i MLB prinz and helena retrof idk people say it good for boss
So yea i think its good for operation
your current fleet is good enough but what are you using it for
Yesterday i did 8%> each time to this thing xD
oh opsi
Yea i kinda want to know whats next and way to stronger in oper
Lion 100k dam 1 round xD hand play no auto
your current fleet is fine my only gripe is trafalgar really
Aight
Also
Should i MlB bismask first or trafal
If bismask should i go full pity roll for her
biszwei and unless you don't get her before you hit pity id stop
but it's a rerun so id go light on cubes either way
Uni is absolutely useless in arby
i guess but no reason to not attack arby with mob fleet too
you don't have many other options as beginner
When i have 2 LMB main i will change
I late for lion event and still pull her at 32 and 60 so im have a good feeling !!
just hope and pray
Gacha in my blood
Oh yea in bismask event can exchange UR main gun or else
there's no equip in the events shop
Noooooo
not a big deal, there's plenty of good and somewhat easily accessible battleship guns anyway
Aight
hello, if i buy the crytal candy for new Jersey in the 3D Dorm is it just a one time item or can i use it weekly/daily? 
one time
Opsci fleet building help
Is there a setting to disable the main fleet portraits showing up when I do an airstrike or salvo and blocking the screen?
no
sad
can reduce the background though, but can't fully disable the ship art itself
Reduce background barley works 
frequency of siren stronghold spawning?
2 at start then 1 additional every weekly reset iirc
3 start of month and one every start of week
oh bruh so less i thought its per day
i wish
I have 2 hinden guns, 1 unzen and 1 drake gun. In opsi mob with hinden and unzen, who gets which guns?
is this good?
No
Assuming you’re fighting light armor
The gun is fine
The secondary idk
The aa should be staag bofors
The auxes are good but need +10 for fcr
You’re using a +10 bowgun which has -5% damage on light, change to sword
Also biggest issue is lion not being max limit broken, and not being leveled
So should I replace the bowgun with a sword?
Level her and max limit break her too
Oke Roger that
I don't have a bullin MK II yet
Just bench her for now then, until you can lb her , a mlb gold is probably better than 0lb lion
I will try to reach MLB her
Would this be able to go to 12-4 farily new ? and if no any idea how to upgrade?
need more AA
FDR Level 96 Tirpitz level 117
need more AA and levels*
Which AA's?
what dev is that fdg?
Like 22
remove her
And replace with?
AVP?
August von Perseval
I have her in
yes i can see that. she's not good in campaign.
can you open a thread and post your dock?
/thread or click the uh... option, or right click, long press on mobile
@stark quiver like this
would be easier to send your dock
change the aux gun, use any 45FP CL gun
Ok
45 FP CL gun Like what?
Can you Show the picture
How do you have 320,000 coins
Ok
You can grinding 12-4 i got the coin is there
it doesn't have to be 12-4 but basically grinding and saving 

having the coins and not being able to spend means you lose all coins the dock produces. that shouldnt be a personal goal
what are you even on about
it's pretty damn normal to be overcapped
you don't stop farming because otherwise your merchant wouldn't be producing coins
is it? i would rather use it to +10 some gear in depot or research ship, meows, whatever
do you even play the game
yes daily

lmfaooo that's cap bro, unless ur endgame
you're out of coins until you're not
depends on your current progression, you want to get all the coins you can spend in midgame so I wouldn't advise staying overcapped all the time
I’m never overcapped on coin
Only oil
you can grind for like a week before an event to stock, but outside of that you really should be spending to get ahead
I'm in permanent poverty 
life of a cat reroller?
understandable, I'm fairly lategame but I can still spend fairly low 
cats are part of it yes
I started doing face research and my coin be going down a lot
im mid-game, not even cat spending 
buying all special augments can also be expensive
saving for the next hvar mounted hellcat rerun?
No, just not playing the game
only noobs got real life xD (thats a joke)
meanwhile me farming c1 for 4 hours avg per day
How do i remove the fan in taihou's bunny skin?
daily PR + DR, research academy, occasional shipyard missions, gear upgrading, MLB'ing ships. stuff adds up if you play a lot 
Oh right forgot to coin my ships
disclaimer I also don't grind on 12-4, I do it on 12-1 
yeah I do the same
u use one fleet for all battles?
that would be good for exp wise, but if it dies in the bossfight that sucks
it's not like I have second fleet to level
yeah thats why im conviced c1 farming is better, u can drag lower level ships through and then use 12-1 when theyre at a decent leve
C1 doesn’t give any xp
whats for you lower level ships? all my ships are min lv 70
Even dorm is better
c1 gives XP it's just shit, but it definitely doesn't raise affinity
im just farming 120s, i sent my pre level 70 ships to c1
my dorm pushes all ships to lv 70. no need for low level maps
I use a fast clear fleet because xp min maxing is useless when I don’t have cogs
I XP pack to like 80 or something
true... im cog broke
I only have 40k left
I buy my chips, or more rather I bought my chips 
Whale
i would trade. sry not possible
i wouldnt xp pack to 80 but do as it suits you
I dorm to 100
I'm finally post-chipdrought
must be nice to have expanded dorm, im still at the base amount
most cannot do that. even less for all ships
well I need to burn XP packs but I'm probably a bad bar to be comparing against 
12 dorm slots
thats best for f2p. with 2. floor 3+3 slots
i push my 15-4 ships from 120 to 125 with them. i guess i am also not a good example
why not? i got all 12 and its nice. just some gems in the end
well it's not feasible for f2p and light spenders
I have 12 for hvar farming
is there a tierlist for GPH chatters? alpha and nntktt are def s tier
whats a gph chatter
I'm nn-tier 
I’m alpa
I'm mostly lazy if you want real advice ask stig or cheeky or renhex or grey 
Peak
are that nicknames?
Yes
more like their usernames, most of them have something else on their display names
Cheeky hasn’t been cheeky for a while
his name is basically a PSA scroller
cheeky being cheeky with his username
if you spent some time here you will know for yourself how good the advice of some are. most of those who you see often give good advice
but none are good at explaining everything. like some are good at fleetbuilding but suck at explaining
Who's better at bosses in general? Shinano or implacable
whats a shimano
yes
They usually go together
they're both good for boss, but they're good for doing different things in a boss fight
anything important tomorrow?
yes, i have lunch date
without me? 
with you
to my knowlegde its a rerun. so depends if you got it already or not
imagine reading patch notes
I have a lunch date with mori wtf cheating on me
suck to be you
doesn't seem to be anything new
zwei rerun yeah
no way, frequent update of new feature they add??
wtf gph ntr
This two should be high priority? Doesnt count towards the 5000 monthly cap..
Narita Top Road
Doesn’t count towards cap, very very high prio
Most high prio in medal shop
only if you need them. in the end its only ur bulins and some doesnt need them
it's more than UR bulin
what did i overlook?
retrofit items
There’s other use for spec core
Look in shop
overlook deez nuts
ok
the stuff you could get from events? i guess thats why i didnt thought about it
not everyone is you
yeah but i explain while remembering and not with looking
you're correct that some doesn't need the 3k
doesn't mean the one asking belongs to that group
im just saying but left cost 6 and right got 10 dont know y u buy right when ur left isnt finish
i dont know but thats why i said so in the answer. i just forgot the retrofit items
UR bulins are very timegated so i'd say it's safe to say that those are pretty important to get
if it takes you a couple extra medals then i'd say it's worth it
its really recommend to get them all if possible as UR bullion needs like 4k of those per 1
you get most ur bulins with cores. so thats safe. most ur ships are very good
i mean tehy are the highest rarity ship so....
no i dont understand this reasoning. why is it important that they are the highest rarity?
you get 3k extra cores with medals. with monthly limit of 4k makes 7k. some other sources give ur bulins too (like the battle pass or whatever name it has)
What are you guys even arguing about
i have no idea i thought his just talking about UR ships
ah ok. i thought that would be a question without ?
my mistake. misscommunication happens
the only ways u can get UR buillions are
- medal exhcange like ur picture
- monthly collect those core by playing the game to hit the cap
- battle pass which gives u 1
- UR event which gives u 1
monthly cap is 5k now, you get 8k total including shop
for anyone new enough to be playing bulin catchup or still missing URs then spec cores are basically top priority
how do I apply this
hq
I planned to do current arbiter around this ships, which fleet is better to damage the arbiter or should I mix some ship with another?
i am not good at fleet building but if this is about the normal arbiter you can just attack him as many time as needed. just go repair after losign
Isnt shima damage super frontloaded?
Yea that's why I'm playing on manual
Ibuki is better
OpSi doesn’t give trust points right
Not that I know of

no oil used, no morale used, no affinity gained
At least I get my 135 xp
Is amagi cv worth using?
very much
Very worth it
She booted Haku out of the Haku/Shinano/Implac anti-heavy comp since she has more TBs for Shinano to buff lol
And this was after Haku got her Fate Sim 
Doesn't nano also have more TBs for amagi to buff 
and amagi buffs shinano too XD and frontlines
Would Amagi, Musahi, and Yk2 work well together?
it's not particularly synergistic no
Who's the map grind ship for Aquilifer's Ballad? I can't remember
wiki it
giuseppe garibaldi
thanks wiki
no problem
I just know it's not Aquila because I had to pull for a dupe
But it would if I replaced yk2 with shinano?
that would be better
~~ what do you need a 3rd one for ~~
for aquiling all over the place
flexxing
