Aquila event has been archived for quite a while now
why would you use aql in pvp

Are any of these URs worth grabbing first?
Any UR gear crafting or +13 recommendations?
What aa gun and aux for Trafalgar?
is your Shinano MLB
So I’ve gotten up to chapter 9-2 and then couldn’t get past the boss of it what do I do next to improve my team more? Hood is my main fleet leader and she’s nearly 110 and still got taken out
rainbow 76/goldburn/(depends)
what is even ur fleet how did that happens 
start thread
Is new jersey a futa
Yes
VG
Okay is she better for mob or bossing?
boss
Okay
Is there a more common aux?
toolkit but you probably can't play minmax with 113 then, not like 76 isn't enough 
Should I go all out for zwei? Last Event I got lion twice and also used a ur bullin on her
Does anyone know all the penalties from level differences off the top of their head?
Trying to meme with faction fleets against Kawa M but none of them are 125
6 level diff is...30% less DMG dealt and increased receive? Is that it, or are there further hits to accuracy, evade rate, etc?
Team for Bravenwolf1
Made one
might as well, highly unlikely to have any UR bb this year.... highly unlikely to have a direct upgrade version of blackhole. you also have 40 free tickets too.
It's 2% per level. So if your ships are 6 levels over the enemy, that's +12% damage out, -12% damage in.
In practice, that will be even less damage in, because you're killing the enemies faster so they have fewer chances to shoot at you.
Your ships are also gaining stats as they level, which is also going to help everything; to take a random example, Sandy has 182 fp at lvl 120, 184 at lvl 125 so she'll also get a small damage boost from that.
Thanks, thought it was 5% mb. In this case it's Kawa M being 126 hitting a china wall frontline, and getting hit by a full DE team, all 120
When is BRS event ending?
Yeah they got totally owned
Aight thank goodness I asked coz I totally forgor to do anything on it
Alright imma go all out
Chat, is it a good idea to refrofit Warsprite?
not really
if you ahve to BUY that thing from protoshop, then i would advise against.
but if you have the retrofit item(like a few years ago) then i don't see why not, its a collection bonus XD
Cause i was pretty conflicted on using refrofitting items to retrofit her or just save for FdG
not the blueprints, those you just keep doing hard mode for, the sword from prototype shop
Good for PVP if you have all the ingredients to cook with
IE: Lion
Looking at the equipment guide, what are barrage guns? Ones with high rates of fire meant to trigger barrages frequently?
Yes
Basically anything that's not a Triple or Quad barrel
Is Twin 100 mm (type 98) AA still better than poverty options for DPS? Specifically Twin 120mm Main (the only thing I have on the list right now)?
on what ship?
Shigure or Gallant
is her useful in w13
just stick to twin 120
new player, should i MLB the beginner sugegsted fleet?
and should i max out sara, helena, penny, uni, laffey port one at a time or all equally?
equally if possible, but prioritize mainfleet>tank>the rest
mainfleet is fron row?
the BB CV
oh, uni, sara and penny?
you'll get a lot of purple bulins, don't be afraid to limit break your purple ships
however use duplicate whenever possible before using bulin
HM?
You farm retrofit materials there.
what is volga used for
Eldridge without retro is still good? Also, the only way to get the retro item is waiting till its event rerun?
healing
It was event limited yea but it should be available permanently sooner or later
core data, retrofit blueprints, META enhancement materials
never skip hard mode, do them daily, highest stage possible
secondary healer with good damage
hard mode also give access to some very important equip like the bullets
what bullet
let me look up its name one moment its loading
prolly meant black and white shell
yes i meant those
yes that's part of core data...
core data is only a resource
a resource to buy the shells

and to buy many more things
dwag just do hard mode everyday
eventually youll need core data to buy those shells
it aint allat
i was just wondering if someone who dont know if hard mode is good knows enough about core data
what the fuck are you talking about now
🤓
about Agronyth
You'd want to do it anyways because 

that's why i explained it to him? about the importance of doing hard mode
Doing 3 hard modes, daily raid and 1 build pretty much sums up your daily routine
There's also opsi too but thats for later on

What the fuck os the name of the shinano sleep emote
Nvm

Shit woke
i used her to clear w15 
Speaking of core data. After buying 3 white shells and 3 black shells, I save up for Independence?
I don't think 3 black shells is needed
I see. Right now I have 3 white, 1 black, and two HSFCRs that I use for my BBs.
Only buy independence if you need the carrier and have enough retro bps to complete her immediately
1 or 2 beacons and the submarine gear
Independence would be nice for you but decide between her and San Diego first
i cant do 5-1 because im not commander 30. what stage should i grind for xp?
It’s me or morale is not dropping even after sorties?
I closed the game several times
Just you
What website is this and how do I find it?
/coredata
4-4
Thx my G
should i retrofit any of the beginner guide ships?
Siren Ops
is this plane any good
solid
Any should retrofit?
it is a parallel torpedo bomber the same as wyvern breguet and barracuda
it comes after the wyvern and breguet and slightly better than a barracuda i think
if u don't have helena yet and saratoga
what about this one?
not used because of the helldiver
if u don't have a helldiver u can use that
Helena did max and unicorn also max
What should my ch13 fleet look like?
when you do hard mode for retrofit blueprints, do you get a better drop rate for higher rarity blueprints on later chapters, or is it the same chance for a gold on chapter 3 hard and chapter 8 hard for example?
Unkown
but higher world = more core data per run
lion indep unicorn - roon scylla z52
musashi shinano amagi - anchorage helena sandy
but like i recommend taking a break in w12 and leveling the ton of usefull ships u have to lv120 at least
and FYI, next time post your dock in a thread instead
Cuz it can be kinda rude to just shove the convesation up with a large chunk of images
12-1 is best for xp right?
yea pretty much any stage in w12 w.e u fancy
How do I get there
navigate the fog
Oh bruh
first run of opsi is kinda not that funny but everyone walked the same path 
I think I'm pretty late to doing it lol
i think that u can clear chapter 4 before the monthly reset
keep at it
forgor
I'm finally doing Kodi cause no more oil
I'm legit in poverty now 😔
imagine being out of oil 
not hard if ure active
When I came back to this game I had 65k oil good old times
you didn't spend it on an oilcapped stage, did you?
Nah last event
Oh that's a bit better; did you do D stages?
what dev mission do i start first?
wdym
the handbook has dev missions
multiple stages or something and can only do one at a time
ah those
start with any because the missions are general and you convert all those packs to protocore anyway
actually start with series 1 because u need to build a ship from that series to finish them 
and ull most likely build ur first ship from series 1
Yeah, I had to start with Saint Louis because nothing else was available.
You have to build tech points to unlock them
For the first few, you just need to unlock a certain number of ships.
Well, I think that only applies to the first series. I think second series onward require tech points as you said.
Saint Louis is pretty
Agreed, although I recently bought the new Monarch skin.
Should I be retrofitting Saratoga and Helena?
any fleet tips for chapter 14 mobbing fleet frontline specifically
ty sir
When do the crimson axis ports unlock in opsi
they dont
For me the new Taihou skin isn't working on bluestacks, any idea why that might be?
idk maybe try another emulator
Assuming you mean the latest taihou skin, it's a compatibility issue with older operating systems like the ones emulators run
#tech-support message for solutions
Is there anything worth farming in bismarck event?
No
If not I’m using stamina to farm coins then
the usual event shop and miletones
Event points
It's a great chance to farm some fleet tech
I never paid attention to this which gatto to should I use
i wouldn't be worrying about cats just of yet, and then i do remember there is a cat tierlist and explanation picture somewhere here
These are the ones I have
Do I need 200 or 400 exchange points to claim Trafalgar? Came back and I can spend cubes on light construction. Much appreciated
recruit ur free cats per day and
look for 1 athena and 1x oscar/lime for bbs
1 bisha + 1 of jiro/eagle/ark for cvs
1 steel + 1 edelweiss for SS
and then w.e for campaign because talents will matter more coz hybrid fleets but like oscar and jiro are nice because of preemptive strikes on nodes
looking means check if they have good intial talents like the specific soul for their respective hulls or flame + the offensive talents for their specific hulls ( like rld for ss/cv > avi/fp/trp for cv/bb/ss respectively)
all blue cats are safe to enhance and all purple cats besides the ones i mentioned are safe to use for enhance
u might keep some golds that i didnt mention purely based of their starting talents (theoretically u could do the same for purple ones )
Alright thanks
There is no good cat (talent) tier list ||yet||
Cats are biggest coin scam in history
~~ allegedly coin sink~~
Should I put in Oscar and lime for now?
How long until maintenance?
How do I make more coin? I’m running out of coin very quickly for upgrades
run 12-4
I’m at 9-3…
And very quickly losing steam with my team. 9-2 was close even with some changes to gear and improvements to them
push to 9-4 it will give the most coins, other than that essentially be patient
who should i mlb or atleast focus on, or should i wait for bismarck zwei
GIVE ME NEW JERSEY PLEASE
I’m so close to getting her…
Finish trafalgar and then wait
shes worth the grind
Traffy > z52?
im not sure
wait for zwei
Me too ples
Trafalgar is almost done
i used the other traf from the event shop so i didnt use UR bulin for that
I wouldn't call 1 LB almost done
I'd say z52 is a better investment than traf right now
Glass is 1/2 1/4 full!
i woudl say the same after bismarck zwei
Remind me, the event pity counter counts pulls or cubes used?
you would still prefer to mlb z52 even when bismarck zwei is available?
pulls
thats why i said after
@nova crane if you have enough cubes to guarantee you hit pity on bzwei, do z52
Although do they really need zwei mlb, Musashi NJ LIon is already there 
yes, zwei freeze/slow kinda nice
Does ur exchange counter carry over to the event?
no
no, they are seperate
Sadge
you literally get 44 free event pulls though
Traffy and Z52 would be bigger upgrades then Zwei 
how many hours until maint? 12 hours and change still?
Wait but my counter from lions banner continued even after the event
less than 12 at this point
no... but im lucky
It didn't
Never luck always math
I stopped at 67 and it continued from there
i feel like theres some sort of like hidden buffer luck to these event banners cus i somehow get the UR on first 10-20 pulls
but i will heed your advice
do you pull on every event?
I missed her the first time around because i was lucky and ran out 20 pullls away from pity, don't let that be you
Lion pity =/ normal pity
It would be a crazy coincidence if my normal count was also 67
so far, i think i got 2 fritz rumey in the same 10 pull
lol true im not gonna get enough in time though, lion drained me
which is how many events exactly
We can fix that for you next event
4 so far
that's nothing frankly
haha im quite new
I started this game in 2019 and last even was my first lol
any suggestion as to how i can improve my opsi mob fleet clear time?
i was thinking aquila for independence and bomber in 2nd slot(so the preload strike)
and probably someone else instead of eldridge and sandy,iirc bayard~harbin so that one should be fine
make lion not shoot and use more preloaders yes
so shima,hinden and maybe juntsu meta?
(no ibuki i refuse i still have to grind exp and coin her
)
ibuki is a better shima
unzen/z52 ibuki harbin is just fine
do you have unzen and hinden?
hinden dev 20
, unzen in 6 months
ibuki is better than even unzen for sub 20s battles
Ibuki would take you less than a month to get ready lamo
no chances for a pr2 with augm to become better right?
well no one else in PR2 even really does what Ibuki does
bayard~harbin still true?
there is a chance, but thats also 🔮 since we dont have pr2 augs, go get ibuki 
rmb we're not even done with PR1
Sigh well, time to go get ibuki also
are we ever gonna get
aug 
and there are simply no torp preload nukers in the other research ships
kitakaze is a gun boat
seattle is uh, there

Seattle could be quite spicy
Bayard for general damage and tankiness, harbin for smoking and buffing DDGs
bayard is just the a worse ply in terms of DPS
but she is tankier
Damage is similar though to harbin
strong fighter efficiencies XD
i forgot does hinden still have a default AA gun when she has a ca gun 3rd slot
no more aa
so she doesnt affect team AA when using a ca gun?
yes she doesnt help with aa
fighters ONLY
isnt her dmg relatively more rng reliant due to barrages
also cos her dmg increases with HP thresholds?
Her barrage is very wide though so the RNG with that is just how close she is to the boss . And that was with Bayard at full HP or something I don't remember
Is there no other way to get T3 Ordnance other than Operation Siren?
Is Bismarck zwei usable for w15?
shes like top 3 bbs
Top 5 campaign BB perhaps
Who is top 1
Raffaello or Musashi for mob
I have multiple copies of mussshi can that be used practically
Theoretically it can, but practically it's not worth
practically you definitely can do it. but waste of resources.
opsi mob, which would be preferred?
Alr so invest in my raf instead of a second musashi
Invest in your Lion
yikes thats bad
That's a bonus but I was just thinking z52 to tank
the number of aircraft in each slot, efficinecy, etc all matters
do you have Aquila or Zuiho
use Aquila instead of Yorktown 2
is that enough AA for boss cheeky 
any reason to attack ambushes?
probably
not if you can avoid it
is cheshire viable for w15
yes
yes
is it multiplicative or additive?
not sure off the top of my head
multi
left comp
also no need for manjuu on laff-ii there.
eldkai will use it very nicely on the bossing fleets you have
im a gear swapper so it doesnt matter
eldkai will stay relegated to my scuffed second bb fleet/crossfleet fleet
eld is a better generalist tank than laffey and also slows enemy for BBs 
well actually I am not sure who main tanks better
but I think unzen supported by eldridge could be better tank than laffey 
has mebot done an average eldridge off tank ehp% change to something like maintank unzen 
im running triple cv mob 
eld is a worse generalist tank than laffey
Eldkai is great for supplementing other vanguard's survivability but if you don't need to help other vanguards survive she's high variance and not notable as a tank in of herself
yeah I wonder how sth like ply main tank + eldridge off tanks does vs laff main tank + plymouth off tank 
eldridge increases the ehp of the other ships by 1.7 iirc so yes alot of stuff main tank + eldr will be tankier than laffii
so portland becomes 170%?
so i actually run the eldkai variant then 
Anything can improve from this near oneshot team?
replace bismarck with alsace
and consider trafalgar
and Aurora with Trafalgar
traf is less dmg than aurora
yeah but she's also less likely to die before the 4th rotation
but replace ur white shells with black shells and and ur aa guns with 134s and ur swords with +9 bows
~~ why +9 ?
+10 gives it the "deals less dmg to light" passive
Ahh didn't know never read bow skill
+10 also makes it do more to heavy
oh and give z52 a peashooter over 100kai
and eldridge should take the mog gun or 100kai
Average 113 Eldridge victim
boost ur eldr dmg by 50% with this one simple trick
also the reason to ditch hit and stack on fp aux and aa for the BBs (as well as officer's sword > bow augment) is because aurora makes the hit rate ~100% so the hit stats from white shell and STAAG/twin 76 AA become useless 
btw is this also true for trafalger?
or with traf u want to keep hit gear? 
traf doesnt hit 100%
i think even with aurora non max hit tech + oaths prob can keep the rainbow aa and maybe even sword depending
so keep hit?
or is the value less
also just from a theoretical perspective at 50% hit rate 1 hit stat has more benefit than 1 hit stat at 90% rate correct?
i mean thats just how all increases are relative
assuming double table +13 alsus can keep aa and sword and lion can go full fp
If I have more gold I'll start to make the +9 stuff
No way Traf reaching 125, mine is 2 URin away from maxlb
ayyy im waiting for that one UR bulin thats coming out from cruise as well
Where do i find this?
lab -> research academy
Which URs to lb priority wise? Musashi is a dupe so ignore her.
Lion
I'd finish mlb'ing lion then fritz because
a) they're already close
b) they also probably have the most utility even if the LBs were equal
then probably biszwei after you get her in the rerun
Should I use all my AP boxes now or wait till almost the end of the month?
Take into account weekly stronghold, use most of it on non event week, like right now
End of month AP dump usually I'll run into Akashi shop that sells me even more AP 
is it worth to use core data to get gear? like the f4U for independence?
Yes but not the f4u
core shop f4u aint worth
stuff like the type 1 and shs shell are worth
breguets as well
should i save my kearsarge blueprints for when her fate simulation is release (whenever it is, idk) or just convert to prototype core
suchimisinformation
What would you buy with the protocore? And I would save pr6 bps in particular because it's not a good season to focus to refarm the bps
mebotalgeneral
UR gear
Like feel free to scrap the pr7 bps because you can refarm them while getting more la9
but i should save pr6..?
What UR gear
Well it's up to you because kear fate sim is probably still 2 years away
um... 18inch MKA, quadriple 152 and the plane
alrightttt thanks, i really need the gear so i think ill do that lol
how do you not have the tenrai from protocore yet
idk lol
Have you been using CDC packs instead of analyzing them
cdc..?
Or not done any catch-up protocore
i dont really know what either of those are 
CDC
you can analyse those ??!
- Get a pr1 to pr3 ship
- Use coins to get her to dev 30
- Set catch-up to her to get 300 bps
- Convert 300 bps to 1500 protocore
oh
ive got..... 6 ships across those 3 prs
how am i only just learning about this at level 95 after like 3 years
cos level 95 can be reached within 6 months of starting? 
it just means you havent played consistently
and so may not know a lot of game mechanics
does it actually.... i played consistently for like a year and a half, stopped and came back a few weeks ago
yes, it is pretty easy to reach anything below cmdr level 100
thats crazy but thanks for the tips i guess, ive selected champagne research catch up now
ive just been using my CDC instead of grindding cause im lazy and my catchups for enhancing them lol
And with double xp for commanders under level 80 should be even faster.
Got Cmd Lvl90 in 1 1/2 month
You can get level 70 in 10 minutes (or however long the tutorial takes) using one simple trick
how
money
💳
Does Z1 skill Z Vanguard+ work on Z52? Since wiki doesn't list her there?
I believe so yes.
Yes, same applies to Otto and Felix
Although whether it's worth is another story
not really worth running nowadays 
Just to get a quick update to a previous question, these are my current URs. I hope to grab Musashi from pity next, as I sorely need more good UR BBs. All that being said, who should I try to MLB next? Based on who I have now and future plans to grab Musashi.
She should be next
UR wise I mean
If I may ask, what's the reason for those two above York2 or Unzen?
Just perma pity vanny
Yorkii I wouldn't bother without Kears who you don't even have MLB, and Unzen is just damage a nothing burger ultimately 
well more like she doesn't have a spot with the current showdown, but Unzen is still up there if we get another heavy
In regard to Unzen, that's even with Nano and Amagi?
Or well, Amagi is the important factor there, not really Nano
What is last? 
it's just my personal belief that something that only excels in damage is rarely needed, and something with good utility will be far more valuable 
they're great but they'll also just entirely overkill anything now outside of showdown, and they're falling short for the current showdown because light armour
wonder how much that 2nd 203/55 will matter for Hinden on light 
not by enough for this fight because vanguard pressure
right, right you're down to 2 slots cause Eld is locked in 
well one really, Aurora/Trafalgar is also basically mandatory
Thanks 
sup gph
So, assuming using next pity on Vanny, and MLBing Traf when I get enough Bulins, would I Bulin Van the last limit break, MLB YK2, or MLB Unzen next?
and if you had a single dps slot you could probably get away with aug sanrui
who doesn't need a second unzen gun
it's hard to make a list of whom to MLB when it comes to URs because it depends on your income, and then after that new URs can entirely derail any sort of planning
decide when you get there
who knows what you'll have in 2 months
we are getting PR8 in like about 3-ish weeks too

True. I do sort of feel bad that Unzen has remained where she is since her og event run though. And her rerun is pretty soon right?
probably coming Nov
Would it be worth it to try and pull for a dupe of her? Considering I'm not caught up with LBing all the URs I have?
just use the tickets
I will, but I meant would it be worth pulling on the banner for the dupe?
no
abdou strat
reminder there's collab coming, and there's no pity for it
you can fix UR bulin shortage with time
patience
you can't fix your collab fomo with time
I just worry about catching up with my UR LBs is all
pretty ambigious when that exactly is though
anything but late July doesn't make sense
when doesn't matter. what matter is you're prepared for it
wait for collab archive 
chat, is this real
that's most likely yes
yes but also irrelevant to what's being discussed
i need to plan
plan what exactly lamo
just dont start cubing
we won't even know the ships until the week before they release
might be another pr6
If you're stuck on 11-3 I don't think you should be planning to hard cube pr8
Apart from lion and musashi who would I want to add to my fleet?
there's nothing to plan for new PRs at least not before we even know what'r coming
Nobody
Assuming I can MLB one
the only "planning" is probably deciding how much gear focus when we know what's in the series
Can you mlb one? just wait, why rush
Of course, now I’d finally be able to get the rest of the Kizuna AI ships I didn’t manage to get 
For Norcas skill AA Protection+, is the 10 cooldown only for the barrage or also for the heal?
What does a max lb lv 100 alsace helps on, I havent actually use her
shes a OP UR bb
Oh nicee
are there maintenance and data update every patch?
iirc yes
on new patches a big one, on a rerun, not too big
theres no new content if you already played zwei and aqilifiers ballad events before
when we can expect the datamine?
datamine for what
the rerun event
uhh havent play it yet
Why would people datamine for a rerun event tho
Confluence of Nothingness is a major Iron Blood-themed event featuring five new shipgirls, including the tenth Ultra Rare ship Bismarck Zwei. A total of eleven new Summer-themed skins have been added, and a new Iron Blood furniture set and new equipment skins are introduced.
Also featured are six Normal maps, six Hard Mode maps, an SP map, and a...
When it's, the same thing
Just half the duration
check i guess may of 2023 or smth in gph to find it
theres no datamine for reruns because it already ran
- Free build tickets

Or I guess 1/3 the duration in this case
Oh, ok. I remember that in rerun events there was maybe a new ship
That was uh
that hasnt been a thing since like 2021
datamining is like going to a museum 🫃
Yop Microlayer Medley in 2020
They've stopped adding new ships with reruns
After the rerun of mommy zwei..theres no more new news about whats the next event yea?
ryza rerun sometime, and thats it
We do know we'll get Ryza Collab rerun at some point this year
and a Iron Blood SP event for this month
sp event 
do i keep my past progress
What past progress do you have on an event that's new?
I don't see why not
Alpha could you reread the past few messages you sent
hey there should be MT but why i can log in
uhh when?
^
In like 5h 37mins
Maint is always at reset
<t:1750230000:t>

bro suffering from internet issues
literally i using Internet data and not wifi
If we have maint it's mostly on Thursdays
And even when it's not, it always starts at daily reset
Guys, what's the better torpedo amongst the Purple/Gold tiers? Mark 16, G7E, or Type 95?
for sub? bidder
I mean for Submarine Torpedoes
And I don't have Bidder
g7e then
Any ur i should put on my fleet
well gold
does 113mm replace 76mm? can i discard them all?
there's some discussion about rld breakthrough i dont remember, but no it's not just always straight replace
and 76 is way cheaper
ok i'll hold onto them for now then. thanks 
well how many UR Bullins can you get and what are these fleets for
How to collect cubes from survey?
After you're done with the survey it should be available in your mailbox
Oh just saw it. Thanks
I need to get more cores for next ur bullin and stella fleet is normal fleet and nelson fleet is boss fleet
Why my Traf with 113 with rld stat 251+38+2 still at 0.5s?
game rounds i think
I would ask where but from the looks of it won't be any place past W12, Alsace can replace Nelson and Soyuz can replace Constellation once they're leveled up. There are numerous other improvements you can make to the fleet but as a casual for the content you're tackling it won't really matter
So now is it rlding at
0.5 + 0.1
or
0.6 + 0.1?
I actually should try doing 12-3, so yeah im at w12, ig I should focus on soyuz to give bulins then, thx for the tips
Your Soyuz is already max limit broken
Lmao, i havent played too much in long so i forgot
just how good is Lv125 Lion?
very good
The best BB
Better than level 124 Lion 
is there a spot where i can see what gear are the best options for the newer ships like lion and traflegar?
/equip the first link Lion uses standard BB gear, and Trafalgar uses standard DD gear except use fast gun like single 76 or 113

Is it worth using the ascension box on a bb fleet?
I might be missing something, but I don't see a reason not to. It gives the same +hp as a toolkit and trades the the passive heal for reduced spread angle for your flagship. Is 1% hp regen every 15 seconds that big of a deal?
-2 spread is not that big of a deal either
Against a stationary boss, champ gun has 100% geo hit and mk 7 has 99% geo hit. And AFCT also gives -2 spread. So ascension box only matters if the boss is moving, and it only matters a little
There are also other good 550 HP auxes like Goldburn or RPG
0.5. Will be 0.6 if your rld at 0.51
0.49-0.50 is 0.5
0.51-0.59 is 0.6
Smth like that
May i ask about this one situation
- Lion RLD is 187 (9% affection buff)
- Biszwei RLD is 180 (12% affection buff) with additional 15% RLD from her own skill
- BB's RLD tech is 9, and both using MK7, both using AFCT or HSFCT
And i get in a situation of Biszwei fire before Lion in 1st shot, and from 2nd shot onward, Lion fire before Biszwei, while Biszwei should have lower gun cdr, i cant understand why and how to fix this problem tho
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/ this may be able to model your situation
Tks a lot using excel to calculate since forever lmao
First time stumble on this kind of situation honestly
Does warspite augment MG crit dmg stack with white shell?
So isit better to run White shell + AFCT or Black shell + AFCT
Jimmy runs warspite with black + AFCT
So idk anymore
What does it mean by near the hit cap of 100%? Like lower level enemies?
What does Hwah Jah do and is she worth retrofitting?
I wanna farm for a CN girl next in PR
What CN research ship takes main fleet data?
There’s no cn back line
Her retroed version is good for chapter 15 support fleet
Hmmm ok thanks
whats is the best stage to farm ex for pr?
those are the breakpoints due to rounding but not the actual fire speed due to abs cd.
w12
in half a day it will be in the event map
the worst PR1 ship, but she will probably get a big buff soon
Yeah. True number about 0.75 - 0.5 + 0.25
what
I see people overrating her because of some so called scaling damage that I’ve never seen
what scaling damage
what people

0.5 gun rld plus 0.25 I forget how it's called so total 0.75 between rounds
what damage scaling people
No idea, it’s some insane damage of hers that requires restarting the battle to work

secret tech 
That’s bizarre, but thanks for clearing it up
That's jojo activating Star platinum
first of all 0.75 - 0.5 + 0.25 is just .5
second of all are you sure that the .25 abscd is accurate? I thoght the number was .1
.5 shown only in game UI
we don't actually have a solid number for abscd
displayed cd on ui is not actually accurate because engine shit
smol indie dev pls understand
for dd guns at least you can just count frames if you concede that it rounds to the nearest tenth and compare .5s, .6s, .7s rlds w/o abscd and see if they all have the same ~.1s abscd added
is abscd even proven to be constant for a weapon across reloads

Gold gun gives more fleet power so I go with that
fleet power gaming 💪
If you reset a meowfficer's skills do the skills it can get randomize again or does it have a pre-set list of promotable skills?
the skills it came with at the start stay/ revert to the starting level they had. the others are rng
question abou high performance plans (the double clear reward thing), let's say I schedule 3, let one finish, stop it when the second starts and retreat. Do I lose 2 due to the one finished and the one began, or all 3?
plans are consumed on entry, so 2
So I get 0.50s rld with Traf rld at 251+32. So she's reloading at 0.5 + 0.1 abcd now right?
I'm not deep in game math of rld. And Traf has 250 rld at lvl 125 but let's pretend that Traff lvl 107 with Oath and 200 affinity at this point will be 251+32 rld plus from other sources... calculator said that will be 0.5 + abscd.. yes
Aight thanks
Hi guy, i already finish 11-4, but i can't go to 12-1 because lack commander level. How should i grind it?
we'll have maintenance in 5 minutes, after which we get the bismarck zwei rerun, just farm that this week
if after that you're not high enough level yet just autorepeat 11-4 with full fleets until you are
Ok, thanks
Does clearing event stage work?
yup, it also gives commander xp
My max level UR's are Shinano, Musashi, Hakuryuu, Azuma, Shimakaze, FDG, Bismarck Zwei, Agir, New Jersey, Yorktown II, and San Diego. For clearing as far as I can into the main campaign, who should I build my two fleets around?
Maybe you can check thread as reference, many ppl ask that there.
I'm to dummy to give advice
which thread? just like further back you mean?
Press # gameplay-help, above. Then thread
Then look for ppl asking for fleet building stuff
or make your own thread and post your dock
That also work
always just make your own thread
does Lion have better Shelling Damage than Bizwei? Or its her DoT that just makes her plain better than Bizwei?
She got more damage against all armor types (I think)
A ship with less firepower and gun efficiency can't have more raw shelling damage
Not to mention zwei has always been about consistency and not pure damage
That black hole doesn't hurt either
it hurts the enemies 🙂 👍
Flat out better shelling dmg with 3x170% main guns
Which bb gun are yall using for kawakaze btw
I’m comfortably 2 shot her now with 30x left so maybe it’s possible for 1 shot toô?
mk2 and mk7
https://youtu.be/GXF9I-esIcQ
i used this fleet
:19 for real lion gear
I know mk7 but what is the mk2
lion gun
it will be a downgrade
It's far worse performance
So any other sub
either mk2/mk7 or no 1shot
I just realized I spent way too much on the457 now
mk6 purp? no
which is scarce
The mk6 white one
aight bet

we should add f2p 
cya in 4h 
In 4h is still main tho
helena gaming
cya in 5h with no helena gaming 
If you can't replicate the recc equipment then theres no point of you copying the endgame builds . How do you not have the mk2 though 
Confetti
he said that he wants to replace the mk7
Also should I bring 2 anshan class for kawakaze or only 1 is enough
I’d bring 0
Dps frontline is mediocre for kawa
Hmm what should I bring then
if u are aiming for 2 shots then it shouldn't matter much
A buffer
The ones I had in the c15 roster
Lemme find that post
Z52,aurora, eld
2 mk7 lol
got lion gun at least?
I didn’t invest in mk7 at all
I don’t even use 2 mk7
Def
just take the 2 shot
So what I’ve been using are musashi/lion/vanguard stacked together
remove musashi
Along with z52,eld and fu shun
remove fushun too
One shot for this meta is pretty hard
Musashi is kinda bad on light compared to the other top end UR BBs
They all net like 900-1m
Any good rec?
use alsace and aurora/trafalgar, should give you higher ceiling
I would recommend Alsace and Aurora since you probably don't have Trafalgar ready
I flopped her hard that banner though
I remember I was new and immediately thrown to that banner, spent like 180 rolls and didn’t get her
Planning to roll her later on
warspite? 
Still SR
Warspite retro or NJ
just take the 2shot then
Or just use Rumey with 2 HVARs
Oh yeah I have nj
You're probably not 1 shotting anyways
You aren’t one shotting without full +13 and high tech
Well something around that
You’d want +13 weapons at least
Hi, I want to use Kronstadt but I don’t have any NP CB guns. Should I use the triple 283mm or a normal CB gun or what do I do?
they are good but not the best did u read the message i linked u above?
That's one thing
But a debuffer like aurora or Trafalgar adds far more rdps
you can use NP CL gun for the aux, use any CB gun
Oh that works? Great thank you!
Hmm, lemme try hvar rumy later on then
they still didn't add kron gun in the gear lab yet
?
eventually 
How much is Bismarck skin?
which one
anyway u can just check here https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/skins?term=bismarck
Try autoloader kear
Thanks
i don't expect someone who started during alsace event having kear ready by this time if they followed the meta for the shipyard 
I didn't pay close enough attention to know that
sorry I have like just woke up
How do you roll on UR reruns, all in on last day?
if u don't get what u want u want to have a stockpile on
on the last day just in case
I go all in as soon as server opens
But if you wanna min max coins , points and whatnot
You do 3 a day with the 44 tickets
And then just pull last day if you don’t have the UR , just make sure to have the coins
bisco is after maint?
yes she is
Yup
Since Bisko Zwei is coming I need to ask something
I married OG Bismarck, would her status still be Married if I have Zwei?
Only your og Bismarck will be married
Different copies will have different affection levels
you can use the skin but not the 12% stat bonus
It's basically a completely different copy of a ship
Even dupe copies of the same ship will have different affection levels
can u only lb a blue ship with purple bulin
seems like a waste
you can also use duplicates
you cannot share the oath skin without oathing bismarck zwei
🤦♂️ ofc
sry for askng
I’m 50 prints more unfortunately
Azur lane's 7th anniversary will they rerun all skin ? ( Not count collab )
then u didn't follow what was advised to proceed with the shipyard 
Pr6 focus still better than no focus or pr1-3 focus 
i started with pr6 u don't remember
?
idk...I'd take PR3 focus gear over PR6 focus gear
How come? 
because almost none of PR6 gear is usable at this point in time, PR3 still has gear like the Twin 114, and 406/50 meanwhile PR6 is the Type 5 which you reallly aren't using outside of fringe cases

Pr6 has flan gun which is essentially 406/50
And hinden gun > drake gun
oh, right PR3 also has Sextuple bofors
i was astray for a wapping 3 months 
the crackhead in me says focus PR1 for MK 25 because it'll probably end up a component in the Quad 152 
Which can be obtained in other ways ?
in more other expensive ways 
well proto ain't so expensive, but heavily time gated
either way PR6 is a shit focus 
relative to PR4, PR5, and PR7


does bismarck zwei have a cutscene for when you build her?
all UR do
pretty much only reason you wanna go to pr6 is if you want to agendapost for hindenburg and kearsarge. and nothing else
felix enjoyer too
otherwise, go to pr4, 5 or 7 lol
then was it the other way around? if you have bis2 oathed you can use bis1 oath skin if bis1 is not oathed? i remember someone saying it was this way
you cannot "share" oath skin in the sense you need to oath the copy you want to use the oath skin on - you can't use oath skin on zwei by oathing OG or vice versa
Amagi is the only except in all this 
Kaga 
At 7th anniversary will they rerun skin ?
no, not till late nov
they'll rerun some skins probably from last anniv so it depends on what skins you're looking for
black friday yeah you are SOL though if talking about collab skins
🙏
we still have 0 ur ib retrofit right?
believe so
No, too cose to Black Friday, when they WILL. Do that
Or the 5 banned skins
Oh right, those skins.

hi
aight so my main fleet rn is lion taihou unicorn portland javelin(not retrofited yet) and helena
i got regensburg rn
do i replace anyone
Do I need this ur Bismark or I am good because I already have 4 ur ships
zwei is good i heard
she legit spawns a blackhole imagine this with lion
Ok
Literally one of the best BBs in the game , you basically never skip UR ships
So you saying I need to pull her and team up with lion
do i replace anyone here with regensburg
is she even good or do i retire
Regen is mediocre
so keep or retire
keep
Why would you retire limited ships 
i guess i dont gotta replace anyone with her?
not yet
what went away this maint
your freedom
thanks babe
stop doing that, just use 3 ticket a day until last day then decide
im not testing my luck after i missed trafalgar and another banner UR cause i had a busy weekend
i missed trafalgar by literally 40 emblems
maybe plan your days
traf wasnt a matter of luck
wait i noticed that build timers vary
how many hours for ech rarity
like i got a 1 hour and 4 hour build rn
is avrora useful/niche or is using a debuffer/main fleet buffer better
every ship has their own build time
@wind hazel yo, whatre the stages i can skip, and whats the best stage to farm
kinda torpedo meme, niche use
so whats build timer for zwei
include herself?
i dont remember, b3 should be it
its a sp event
wtf, is it
its on wiki
ur urs are in an unusable state so if u are planning to keep them non mlb then there is no need to get anymore ur ships
idk what i was doing HT6
you were busy being based
probably tech farming?
looks like it
back in dark ages when u had to use nano xfleet
think T6 low oil is the play
hmm
or just HT6 unicorn ddg
i thought u were f2p
c1 gem rewards 
Is Bismarck zwei any good?
who is farmable ship in this event?
u556 meta
oh, how is she?
collectable
not bad
higher end of subs
i see 
one of the top single sub, but just a collectible if you got the fishes or U boats XD
do i replace anyone if my current wolfpack is u96 u101 and u37
yes, where's 81

37 👢
get her from invitation
event d3 gun any good cant believe its not torps
it's alright
its expensive
if you lack mk6 or twin410 for some reason, it's good
including herself?
yes, skills that don't specifically mention otherwise assume to include the ship herself
is u556 meta worth buying?
yes, at the end of event
do i pull for Bismarck Zweiaweiiawei
always pull for UR's unless you have them already MLB'd
Thnka you Rhaizl
i use the same comp as the one mentioned above and u37 always get the mvp 
3 ticket pull a day go all in on last day if you dont get her within these 6
i never care about their damage so idk who gets mvp in mine LOL
for me if they don't enough damage i just won't do my last challenge 
what challenge
you dont need subs for that
well for 15-3 with completion i was about to die if i didn't use the subs
why do i keep crashing whenever I enter the event map ?
get better gear and tech and you will win
get u-81
i don't think tech will matter more than ships and cats
k time to book u81 to 125 

Why u37 not worth choice?
because 101 with augment is stronger
125 wont make or break your run
if it does you have other problems to worry about
as for ships, uhh lol, you have aql, musashi, uni, raffy and whatnot youll be fine
cats are whatever just run tempesta or something
i didn't level the tempesta cattous 
why
just stick them in your farming fleet
-6% fleet damage taken gone just like that
i have mountain cats
the issue for me is not having flame
basically i think i have 10 mountains and 0 flames
thats fine, you can only kill so fast so idk if the flame matters
nvm i do not know
what should i buy with that confluence fragments?
do u mean the event shop ?
should i do the normal ones too or just do hard
from initial run
if u have the time and can low cost it then u can
Is NJ better than Bismarck Zwei or Lion
do you care about oil cap
yea
Hope this isnt a stupid question but how do i get the other stars? Ive played autoplay and cleared the stages but idk if im doing something wrong
no
Yikes
no, NJ is earth, lion zwei are heaven
uhh normal have oil cap?
pretty sure everything's available on wiki
So NJ is outclassed now lol
they are asking what to buy from shop
yes
i dont think wiki tell you what to buy
NJ is still alive
Zwei and lion are dead?
jk jk lol
shes like 5 years old or something XD
as a newbie, i keep getting epic purple ships but i dont have them ready to be limit broken. (My fleets are mostly the yellow colored ones)
How woiuld yuall advise on the dock space?
either you buy dock space, or ask which purple is worth staying and all scrap
retire useless ships, or buy dockspace, or buy gem and buy dockspace
Defeat all the ships before fighting the flagship and repeat the stage until you've defeated 10 total escort ships as per requirement
start with cog chips and arrays then see what u need
if u don't drop the farmable ship at the end of the event u buy that
if u want more cats -> cats boxes
if u aren't done with old shipyard ships u get the DR prints
if u are new u get the tech boxes

i see. is there alot of useful purple? Before i start firing away
yes, quite a lot
Thank u so much, ill try this now 
this made me laugh idk why
I had like 14 universal bulins when i don’t use elite ships no more since the ones i used are already retrofitted so i just retired them for medals 💪💪
No problem
there might be a lot of hard / impossible to get ones
firing elites isn't that recommended
alright thanks buddy
okok thank you. i wont randomly retire elites then xD
So is the guide to keep 3 elites of the same copy? Because i would imagine 1 gets locked. Then to max limit break, i need 3? Since elites come at 2 stars and i see 3 grey star spots
Any excess gets yeeted
ohhh the 5th star requires 2 copies. got it got it
if the ship has retro it takes an extra
but thankfully the elite bulins that serve as dupes are somewhat in abundance
ah those . i have like 20 of them now
Elite bullins keep flooding my dock
then u need to manage more ur dock 
retiring the bulin is infinitely better than retiring the actual ship
Well I always keep one copy of each ship
oh is it? but they serve the same purpose right? Assuming i keep them around for limit breaking
Zwei's black hole seems balanced
yes bulins are dupes
Is regensburg good?
just curious
lets say im really desperate to limitbreak bismarck zwei rn so im considering using another ur ship to limitbreak, is that possible?
should i craft 4th 76mm aa or second 100kai
do you have any need for a 100 kai?
not gear swapping
the rerun milestones have the general gold plates
?
20 of them
and how necessary is the 76?
tbf i dont have a use for a 4th 76 beacause i also have 2 other iris
Is fools scales/gold rerun after the current rerun?
You can either use zwei dupes or ur bullins
then you have your answer 
You can either use zwei dupes or ur bullins
imagine not having 6 frogs
imagine not having oaths
I have a lizard
ok bitch

ah ic, welp i was considering limitbreaking her using a kronshtadt duplicate
poor shaming 
dont worry ily
ily2
ive been keeping oath ring for nearly 2 months reserved for bismark
I would if that was possible





my T2 T3 are not touched at all
