[sonic vector]

yup 😭
welp to grind more specialized stuff

[worldly pewter]

u can retire kron for more cores but don't do it

[cobalt robin]

My Kronstadt has been on the bench since I got her

[cobalt robin]

💀

[wind hazel]

she stays that way for few more year

[sonic vector]

same with me, planning on maybe placing her on fleet 2, but i still have 3 more ur ships to go for limitbreaking

[warm flax]

This team sucks ass yeah?

[cobalt robin]

There should be better candidates for your 2nd fleet

[worldly pewter]

if u are not going to do what i have done then it will be a little bit hard to mlb kron

[stark quiver]

not really

[sonic vector]

i would die to try and get agir

[tawdry halo]

also, chat, does it make sense if I give Sandy retro an AA radar since she's AA specialist

[wind hazel]

no

[worldly pewter]

assumins z52 maxed and optimal gear
good fleet but extremely slow

[stark quiver]

not an aa specialist if shes dead

[sonic vector]

Pearl Harbor incident

[stark quiver]

i mean its just 6 UR ships with no direction
could probably do most opsi content with correct gears

[hollow gust]

What's slow

[tawdry halo]

ok I guess repair kit

[stark quiver]

rudder repair kit is fine

[tawdry halo]

but normal arbiter kinda cancel heal I think

[sonic vector]

wouldnt auto loader be better or am i dumb

[worldly pewter]

BB's animation

[stark quiver]

thats the normal bb fleet

[hollow gust]

[cobalt robin]

Unicorn for the win

[wind oxide]

🤓

[stark quiver]

why

[tawdry halo]

I was told that arbiter makes your heal backfire or something (Unicorn and Percy heals the enemies)

[sonic vector]

the Kenways huh.

[wind oxide]

ye

[sonic vector]

idk

[sonic vector]

what is your oath to the creed?

[stark quiver]

uhh no not really, auto loader sandy kinda pointless

[sonic vector]

there we go, memory reset, should be bbs instead :/

[tawdry halo]

but does repair kit get affected by normal arbiter

[wind oxide]

not the channel to talk about that here but
"I'd loot the women"

[tawdry halo]

or is it hard arbiter

[hollow gust]

Arbiters do not have anti heal , abyssals do

[tawdry halo]

augh

[tawdry halo]

arent them in the forward base too

or the core whatever you call it

[sonic vector]

thats. accurate

[tawdry halo]

then what am I suppose to equip for Sandy against abyssals then, double eva?

[honest sequoia]

Why does the rerun have no oil cap

[stark quiver]

are u doing hard mode

[sonic vector]

OIL

[stark quiver]

bbs dont use autooader unless certain comps

[honest sequoia]

I already did it before

[sonic vector]

ic ic, mb

[tawdry halo]

hardmode has oil cap I think

[stark quiver]

peak azuzu design

[wind hazel]

oil cap only at HT4-6

[honest sequoia]

Wait

[wind hazel]

HT1-3 dont have oil cap

[honest sequoia]

how do I even unlock Ht456

[wind hazel]

press the middle

[honest sequoia]

Oh

[wind hazel]

yeah it's a shit UI

[honest sequoia]

Thank you now I have oil cap

And THANK GOD I don’t have to start from HT1

I can just start ht6

[wind oxide]

Uhh hard mode can also be changed on the bottom left button too?

[stark quiver]

i forgot if i asked this
but is hinden better than z52 in ops mob for fast clear

[forest palm]

finding D side can be a little confusing

[honest sequoia]

Also what’s the best way to farm the points rn?
Do i just farm ht6 only
Or do i also do HT4 and 5 for the x3 points

[wind hazel]

do them if you can

[wind oxide]

What's this HT and T difference anyway?
or there's like two hard modes?

[stark quiver]

ht is hard t

[wind oxide]

no like there's also a hard T if you press on the bottom left hard button

[wind hazel]

there's T1-6 and there's HT1-6. what are you asking about

[wind oxide]

ohh maybe i got confused the middle button shows the T4-6

[cobalt robin]

First part t1-3, middle button takes you to 2nd part t4-6

[wind oxide]

yea yea

[fallen jay]

She’s home

Boys how do I build up New Jersey? I want her in my main fleet at all times.

[nova crane]

yeaaa

[worldly pewter]

first speed run getting 4 ur bulins

[cobalt robin]

At all times🤌🏻

[fallen jay]

I have exactly one UR bulin. But I don’t care if it takes forever I want her in my team. I will use the one I have to get her on it

[ashen saffron]

is she any good?

[cobalt robin]

Giga good

[fallen jay]

Please tell me what I need to do to build her up so she can be a main stay of the fleet

[worldly pewter]

are u trolling at this point ?

[ashen saffron]

ok

[stark quiver]

they just want to use nj

[worldly pewter]

read the first request

[stark quiver]

[worldly pewter]

don't ask about building if u just want to use the ship in whatever state

[fallen jay]

No I am not. She’s the reason I got into this game and I want her to be on my main fleet team. Also just got a second UR bulin so I can limitbreak her twice currently

[cobalt robin]

I got a 2nd zwei but even have the coins to limit break lol

[cobalt robin]

Do it

[fallen jay]

I want her on the team and I want to make her as good as I can for my team with what I have available

[soft raft]

General rule of thumb is to avoid limit breaking URs unless you have enough to MLB her in one go

[fallen jay]

Thank you very much!

[wind hazel]

"Honey you brokeass bitch"

[wind oxide]

Ouch

[fallen jay]

She’s my second UR. Is she not any good?

The first was Traf

I’ve used none of my UR bulins

[soft raft]

She's been heavily powercrept for a UR BB

[sweet delta]

Your waifu is one of the weakest URs

[cobalt robin]

New jersey is worth it tho

[fallen jay]

But she’s still good right? In comparasion to other non URs?

[sweet delta]

[wind hazel]

UR is still UR yes

[wind oxide]

For a beginner ig?

[stark quiver]

why would a beginner mlb nj

[wind hazel]

but there's bismarck zwei rerunning now

[cobalt robin]

She will still carry your ass so it doesn't matter

[wind hazel]

zwei will carry you harder

[sweet delta]

It's a high opportunity cost wdym it doesn't matter

[cobalt robin]

Yea ik that's why I got zwei zweis

[cobalt robin]

If he really likes nj then I don't see a problem

[sweet delta]

I don't see a problem either but you were saying it as if it's for everyone

[cobalt robin]

Nah for him specifically, wrong wording my bad

[fallen jay]

I’ve been pulling in the build shop and gotten no luck

Never got Lion and no Zwei yet.

[cobalt robin]

Well I also go for personal taste over meta but ik others play the game differently

[frail hamlet]

do I skip the T event stages and go right to the HT stages?

[fallen jay]

I just really want to make her as good as I possibly can

[sweet delta]

Press the big hard button in the corner

[worldly pewter]

then follow what mori showed u for the first time

[cobalt robin]

I would still continue pulling for zwei

[wind oxide]

What's zwei's build time?

[sweet delta]

The T is good to do with a cheap fleet for many points daily

[wind oxide]

👍

[warped acorn]

san franchis is used as tank right

thinking to upgrade her get starstruck skill 🤔

[sweet delta]

If you use her then upgrade all skills

[warped acorn]

bet

[rapid summit]

I’m level 17 and I NEED to get Bismarck how I get wisdom cubes if that’s they’re name

[sweet delta]

Play the game daily and. Also do the handbook

The best way to get banner ships is by not being a new player who just started

[left tiger]

who is a higher priority to lb, biszwei or lion? both are 0lb

[wind oxide]

Simba

[left tiger]

aight thx

[little tree]

Lion

[tawdry halo]

that's me 100%

(I have zero pencil shell to afford for my retro Nelson)

3 pair of white and black shells though

[clever needle]

what might be the fastest clearing stronghold mob fleet?

[split moon]

do I only need to clear hard mode and not normal mode for all rewards

[fair lance]

Yes if you can do SP you can only unlock that from hard mode.

If you mean shop/milestone no.

[stone sluice]

What are you using for EX?

[cobalt rapids]

mk6 gaming

[sweet delta]

Apparently I was using this

[turbid marsh]

the good old mikasa

[stone sluice]

I guess I’ll try manual

[hollow quartz]

Is Laffey's agument worth it? It looks like its survivability focused and doesn't seem that good

[wind hazel]

p2w gaming

[cobalt rapids]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules

[sweet delta]

It should surely be auto able with the power creep like laffii and Eldridge and Alsace and lion nowadays

[loud valley]

what augment for bismarck?

[cobalt rapids]

.

[rose cosmos]

Ok I know this is dumb to ask, but is there any software to full auto the non 3* event nodes

[timid saddle]

Just started the game for the first time and got her is she good?

[hollow quartz]

Thank you. But one question is Shiranui and the rainbow bulin aguments that good or are they they in S tier as a joke?

[rose cosmos]

I’m sick of pressing already, it’s almost 3 hours

[sweet delta]

According to the rubric, they are not a joke. But if you pay attention to the new player column, they are not S tier

And the text note

[sweet delta]

Yes there is software to do it, and you would get banned for using it

[hollow quartz]

So like they are good for end game?

[sweet delta]

No

[sweet delta]

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, those two augments are the only special cases in the whole list, and rest assured that we will examine ways to make it clearer !

[uncut adder]

Can we get the event girls from event map?

[wind hazel]

only the submarine

[steep merlin]

is she better than z23 or allen m summer?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[steep merlin]

oh okay who should I replace out of those 2

[cobalt rapids]

z23

[steep merlin]

thank you

[cobalt rapids]

well rather your tank but if ure a new player she doesnt replace any1

[steep merlin]

this my formations

I'm replacing eugen with anchorage soon

[cobalt rapids]

yea she uh doesnt replace any afterall

[steep merlin]

ouch

I also have Felix Shulz can she replace someone?

[cobalt rapids]

eugen muse or portland

[sweet delta]

If she's dev 30 and level 115+ then yeah

Also you should know that fleets for playing hard content are separate from fleets you grind easy content like events and chapter 12 with

[steep merlin]

oh okay, I use this mainly for events and chapter 12 I am not into hard content yet

[cobalt rapids]

u should rotate ur lv125 ships out so u can lvl other ships then

[undone yacht]

What should I use to get the exp for friedrich while beating the event

[soft raft]

any german backliner

[steep merlin]

oh even if the ship is like level 20?

[cobalt rapids]

bismarck strasser thuringen

[cobalt rapids]

bump em with books till they dont die, the event stages are easy so ships with like lv70+ on safe should be fine

[viscid swift]

You can throw in even level 1 ships if you know what you're doing but use XP packs to boost them up to level 70-90

[undone yacht]

Alr

[viscid swift]

Don't overestimate how difficult w12 is on safe

[steep merlin]

got it

[undone yacht]

In what fleet tho

[cobalt rapids]

the fleet that fights the escorts or all enemies on autosearch since thats where the xp will go

[undone yacht]

Alr

[gleaming storm]

Does saving up for a 10 pull change the rates or no?

[cobalt rapids]

doesnt

[nova halo]

BiS for hindenburg?

[cobalt rapids]

unzen drake for light
hinden hinden for med and heavy

[nova halo]

i mean gear

[cobalt rapids]

i also meant gear
those are unzen gun drake gun and hinden gun

[nova halo]

thanks a lot

[worldly pewter]

not only mk6 but also only at +10

[cobalt rapids]

+11 would be just 4% more gun dmg

[undone yacht]

So I put the 3 in the order right, what gear for them?

[cobalt rapids]

standard gearing, follow sams equip guide

[river sedge]

Which purples r worth to keep and which are not so i can retire them.

[worldly pewter]

i guess a p2w player won't understand that +11

[bleak nymph]

Don't retire any, level them for tech THEN retire them

[undone yacht]

Alr

[river sedge]

Huh, so i level up all of them?

[cobalt rapids]

check with wiki the ones that are farmable and easy to get back
u should also unlock ur bulins and use em
aswell as any dupe ships u have for limit breaking the original

[bleak nymph]

yes leveling ships gives tech bonuses you will need, if you retire them now you will have to get them back after

like umi said farmable ones you can get rid of and get back easy, the other ones not so much

[wind hazel]

i dont think he can afford that luxury now

[worldly pewter]

neko why everyone who is struggling to manage their dock space just come here and asks about retiring elites specifically ?

[cobalt rapids]

indeed
if the outcome of the fight was hanging on the 2% alsus and lion damage then i wouldnt have claimed anything

[river sedge]

Alright

I level them up to max level i assume (i rlly don know aah)

[worldly pewter]

no u just need to understand how manage the dock space

[woven star]

120 usual lvl for regular ships

[worldly pewter]

leveling them all to 120 in unrealistic for a new player

[split gazelle]

just buy more dock space

[river sedge]

nuh uh

[bleak nymph]

game's a marathon not a race

[woven star]

Not everyone can get to the end

[wind hazel]

you're not taking the context of him being at 168/170...

[worldly pewter]

eventually u will buy more space but for a new player 170 is already more than enough

[river sedge]

Realistically wht level do I level them up to

[split gazelle]

my 3 week old f2p account has more dock space than that

[bleak nymph]

Make space with the ones you can get back easily, keep the event only ones and any harder to get ones, you will eventually level them all to 120

[worldly pewter]

enough to limit break them with dupes or bulins
this applies to the blues too
golden ships are more expensive

[wind hazel]

retire these, and York, and Ping Hai too

[woven star]

You don't understand concept of the game. Get info about ship tech points at lvl 120

[worldly pewter]

mori do u really think that he has issues with elite ships ?

[wind hazel]

well they are occupying the dockspace and being useless, that sounds like an issue

common=enhance, rare=retire

can retire the smol ships too if you don't care about them

[worldly pewter]

they might be a part of the issue

[river sedge]

harh

i know i dont know anything im literally playing this game to have fun and collect ships

its not that deep

yes i like sheeps
Thanks Mori by the way

[wind hazel]

if you wanna collect then you need to fork out your wallet for dockspace

[river sedge]

lile the good ones 💔 (unfortunately)

[wind hazel]

otherwise this issue will keep happening in short term

[river sedge]

My gold to purple ratio is like 3 to 1

[worldly pewter]

i still didn't use p2w methods for the dock space

[whole crypt]

as it turns out I was using mog gun on Eldridge, is she actually better with mog gun or 🌈 🦆 for KawaM

[cobalt rapids]

mog gun

[whole crypt]

guess I'm not swapping it off then

[river sedge]

Slide me the method

[wind hazel]

the method is being not a collector

[cobalt rapids]

i swapped it off on my lv70 cassin

[river sedge]

oh deer

[worldly pewter]

i have 510 dock space
1 anni rotation

[split gazelle]

get gems from 3* maps, don't buy skins, buy dock space = profit

[whole crypt]

well I was thinking of swapping it onto my OS mobbing sandy

[cobalt rapids]

ure using sandy in opsi ?

[river sedge]

wokay tanks

[lavish scroll]

What hts2 stage? I never played that before

[wind hazel]

special stage

treat it as extra bonus for cube

[whole crypt]

yeh for mob but it's actually less relevant now so I might swap her out next time I adjust fleets when KawaM is done with skills

it was an AA thing with triple carrier mobbing, and since her aug barrage also ignored shields

[cobalt rapids]

aa thing
were u losing to strategist?

[whole crypt]

I wasn't losing to anything actually but not losing concealment randomly is good

it's not like aug sandy doesn't have a very nice and smooth dps curve

[cobalt rapids]

just use santa hatto for piercing shields

[whole crypt]

what's that again

[cobalt rapids]

z52

[whole crypt]

I can't remember but I think I used her in one of the boss fleets

well next time I redo fleets

[severe tinsel]

is the event sr ship goog?

like regensburg, otto von alvensleben, and U-556 META

[soft raft]

Eh, decent i guess, and fairly good in mixed Sub comps respectively

[severe tinsel]

for regen and otto, what they good at?

[soft raft]

regen's a CL that tries to do too many things at once and doing them all poorly
Otto's a tanky DD but if you already have the likes of Laffey II and Z52, she's pretty whatever

[storm olive]

otto is also odd when felix exists now

[severe tinsel]

so regen is poopoo, and otto is usable if no UR dd?

[turbid marsh]

usable yes, but theres also cl and ca too XD (and he mentioned felix)

[silk helm]

is warspite good no retro yes aug

[severe tinsel]

is felix easy to get?

[soft raft]

she's a research ship
PR6

[turbid marsh]

yes and no. pr6, but dev30 can be quite long for newer playes

[severe tinsel]

ohh, well...

[soft raft]

iirc her unique aug only applies to her post-retrofit skills so lol

[severe tinsel]

true, i still busy focus research other ship, and crying for lack of faction point

[silk helm]

fk i just wasted so many resources

[whole crypt]

it applies to Divine Marksman regardless of retrofit but pre-retro is just shit

[soft raft]

oh nvm it does applie to pre-retro as well
but that unique aug aint really doing shit for pre-retro warspite

it aint like Sandy's where it can shore up her DPS while you work on her retro

[whole crypt]

yeh but sandy retrofit was already good before the aug at least

[turbid marsh]

sandy: and thus i uphold the strongest augment for ur.

[whole crypt]

the aug helps the way up but if the end result was shit then there's no point

[worldly pewter]

if u are crying for faction points in pr6 it is better to consider doing the lower ones

[severe tinsel]

im doing anchorage rn, since she gonna be good tank and closest to unlock

next prob fdg

[worldly pewter]

yeah don't jump them

usually it is 1 2<->4 7/5

[severe tinsel]

so i do the on on pr1 first? like saint louis?

[worldly pewter]

if u can do fdg and will be coining anchorage in the near future then ignore pr1 until u want some tech from there

or ijn faction points for haku

[severe tinsel]

well, my iron blood point still need 500 and my eagle union still need 400. so still far away

[fierce lantern]

why does this event cost so much oil to farm

[worldly pewter]

then u should take the escalator step by step

[severe tinsel]

so how?

[worldly pewter]

it is the same as all the other events

[worldly pewter]

#gameplay-help message

[severe tinsel]

uhh, explain me how to get faction point to unlock pr ship, i dont know.

[whole crypt]

essentially you need to collect more ships of that faction and level them

[nova crane]

u can get them by getting max stars on a ship, getting them to 120 or unlocking it for the first time

[severe tinsel]

ohh ok thanks

[cobalt robin]

Does exercise reduce mood?

[viscid swift]

No

[nova crane]

btw whats the best map for money farm

12-1 or 12-4

[wind hazel]

4

[bold fulcrum]

I don't need specifics, but what's the general strat for kawamet? My vanguard survives but i struggle to go over 800k

[worldly pewter]

show fleet

[bold fulcrum]

survival vanguard + light/med CV backline

assume everything 125 and +13

[worldly pewter]

if u don't show it then name all of the ships

[bold fulcrum]

i just want the general idea

[worldly pewter]

someone link him suchi's guide

[viscid swift]

one shotting isn't quite that simple, especially if you want to do it consistently but

[worldly pewter]

he is struggling to 2 shot it

[wind hazel]

#gameplay-help message

[bold fulcrum]

i have the resources, i just need an idea of which way to go

thx ❤️

[worldly pewter]

we should make thorin pin the guide

[bold fulcrum]

good idea; i checked for that first

[silk helm]

anyone lowcosting this event?

[cobalt robin]

Les go

[loud valley]

is there any reason to do normal stages in event?

why?

[undone plover]

x5 token for 30 oil is good

[wind hazel]

bonus is good

[loud valley]

normal is 3x and hard is 5x

what bonus?

[viscid swift]

that is the bonus

x3 and x5 event points for the first clear of each map every day

[undone plover]

and it is the opposite
x5 is normal
x3 is hard

[loud valley]

oh

[undone plover]

that means if u tap it THEN it becomes normal

[loud valley]

okay so clear all once per day, normal and hard mode. then continue farming on hard mode?

[undone plover]

sure
some ppl only do hard I think cuz they cba to clear normal
but most efficient is doing both
especially if u can do normals with a cheap fleet

[viscid swift]

depends on what you need, I won't be doing more than that +SP myself

[loud valley]

i havent found how to unlock that first

[viscid swift]

you need to clear D3

[loud valley]

is that in HM?

[viscid swift]

yes, it's the last stage

[soft raft]

HT6 specifically for this event

[wary lake]

Did juustagram content got deleted or can we view the whole thing since that feature is implemented?

[wind hazel]

it's still there

[undone yacht]

What is the command for gear?

[loud valley]

what are these bars?

[whole crypt]

I'd say yes I am but for reasons that wouldn't apply to 99% of players

[whole crypt]

/detection

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Detection Level:
If the gauge hasn't been filled, your carriers gains "hidden buff", which is 10% flat AA resistance reduction to enemies (basically they deal more dmg) and they can't be chosen as a valid target (enemies BB won't attack your CV when hidden).
If the gauge has been filled, there will be an exclamation mark (!) displayed to the side of the gauge, and your carriers lose the "hidden buff". They will regain the buff when the gauge level falls below the red line.
The gauge will be slowly filled if spotted by the enemy (both planes and ships) if they crossed the detection line, when they are burning, and when launching an airstrike.

ranger + cassin downs? or like uni + ddg

[wind hazel]

ranger+cassin

[whole crypt]

depends on stage

[wind hazel]

HT i just unicorn+ddg all the way

[whole crypt]

normal is just any 0LB CVL + Mahan

[loud valley]

can i see current corrosion level somehow?

[whole crypt]

each zone has its own corrosion level

[undone yacht]

Thx

[whole crypt]

if you can't tell by the enemy levels just tap out of the map and view it from wold map

[loud valley]

im talking the buff that goes up to 5 when i enter combat

[dreamy blade]

If you mean the event you can tap the icon at the top

[whole crypt]

I don't even remember what that shit does in this event

[broken vortex]

Is Bismarck zwei worth getting
Even for a low level player

[grizzled stream]

who else do you have for UR bb?

[cobalt robin]

Maybe he has lion 🤔

[grizzled stream]

if it's just lion as his other UR bb, then for sure try to pull for bisco

[broken vortex]

None

Alright thanks

[whole crypt]

like literally the only reason to not pull for BisZwei now is if you need to save for collab

[eternal basalt]

Need 500 chips. Any AUTO setup to beat Zwei though, Geyron kills me instantly

[turbid marsh]

laff jeanne eld XD

[eternal basalt]

0 damage done, doubt they make it as I already got laff in

57 bars remaining

[silk helm]

when is the collab? didn't we just have a collab

[harsh gust]

there's gonna be atelier collab at some point soon-ish
we don't know the exact date

[eternal basalt]

Prob July we get a rerun

After that November is the new one

If not july then next year since we got the whole rest of the YEAR mapped out

[sweet delta]

I used Jeanne Helena anchorage https://youtu.be/9fa2Wcrq7TY

[silk helm]

ty goat

[whole crypt]

pretty sure they said something along the lines of ryza rerun alongside yumia

[full plank]

who is on that loading screen with a violin i wanna find

skin looks nice
if it's a skin ofc

[viscid swift]

for the last fucking time

[eternal basalt]

Prob July we get a rerun. After that November is the new one. Pretty sure I said this...

[sweet delta]

Strasbourg

[full plank]

oke

so apparently thats base
more crystals saved ig

[eternal basalt]

See above reply.

[viscid swift]

it's one event not 2, it's literally what they said in the fucking stream, you can double check yourself and start listening to the actual sources rather than going off a random title based of 3rd hand information that was never properly understood in the first place

[whole crypt]

no it's literally with Yumia + Ryza rerun

[eternal basalt]

''''Prob July we get a rerun.''' AFTER that November is the NEW one. Pretty sure I said this...

[whole crypt]

November is not Yumia

doesn't matter if you said it if you're wrong

[eternal basalt]

How the fuck do you guys read November when I say July... jesus christ

[whole crypt]

Yumia is not a rerun

[eternal basalt]

Yes, it is

[whole crypt]

Ryza is rerunning lightweighted PLUS new collab for Yumia

the best case you can make is Yumia will be a smaller event than usual to accomodate

[eternal basalt]

It says both are rerunning same time, november wont be Yumia

[harsh gust]

then why you mentioned it at all

[whole crypt]

🤦‍♂️

[harsh gust]

anyway, we don't know when and how it's gonna run
just wait for announcements

[whole crypt]

July is fair game it's where we always had our "second" collab slot every other year

[full plank]

any way to increase simultaneous building limit?

[viscid swift]

and frankly no other slot makes sense

[full plank]

like man

i dont like only 2 at a time when i dont got builders
why they limiting my gambling 😭

[atomic abyss]

well

[viscid swift]

we already know it's not this month
August and September are Anniversery months
and if it was going to to after September it would have been announced in the JP Anni stream not the CN one

[eternal basalt]

August - EN, Sept - JP, Oct - Tempesta, Nov - New collab, Dec - UR

[viscid swift]

July is the only logical choice left and there's as has been said precedence

[eternal basalt]

Use QF's

[whole crypt]

sounds like he's out

[atomic abyss]

considering how many quick finishes you get from commissions etc...
perhaps you need to consider playing a bit more

[vale spindle]

once you play enough you get enough quick finishers that its no longer an issue

[full plank]

i STILL wanna gamble more

[atomic abyss]

to get both comms and cubes

[vale spindle]

give it like a month or two and you should be chilling

[atomic abyss]

💳 then

[full plank]

say less-

[whole crypt]

anyway the gist is
July - Yumia (new) + Ryza (rerun)
Nov - new collab
we don't talk about saving for Nov collab now

[full plank]

jk

game been friendly to me as a f2p so far

[weak moat]

Is the event UR and META good?

[turbid marsh]

my fat brain is like, they released collab for november so early this year

[vale spindle]

yes

[eternal basalt]

Just like I said

[nova crane]

SHOULD HAVE NOT SAID THIS, im not getting anything now... must have angered the azur lane gods or smth

[viscid swift]

it's called RNG

[whole crypt]

yes but 1) Yumia is already a new collab 2) no idea why you're bringing up November

[harsh gust]

we don't need to continue this conversation

[vale spindle]

sir this is gameplay help not gameplay blog

[eternal basalt]

1. No 2) Because they asked for new collab

[undone plover]

do reruns preserve threat level*?

[viscid swift]

I think yes

[nova crane]

OH right also do u know which is best map to farm money 12-1 or 12-4

[whole crypt]

reruns should keep clear state the way you left it from original run

archives are reset though

[undone plover]

thx ~~also cheeky you need to update your name ~~

[eternal basalt]

(except collab reruns who use the oldd system)

Gem Spending 101

Gems in Azur Lane are fairly rare from an F2P perspective. However, the gacha in Azur lane does not require gems and their main usage is expansion of facilities like dorm, academy, docks and depot, as well as buying resources, resource packs, premium items (rings and name change), and skins.

As an F2P, you can get up to 4700 guaranteed gems (3750 for 3* clearing all 15 main campaign worlds, 800 for completing Bands collection and 150 for 8 days login campaign), not counting random gems from commissions or occasional bonuses from events or other sources.

Considering limited availability of gems for F2P players, even if spent exclusively on QoL upgrades, it is impossible to upgrade everything.

This is the recommended way to spend gems as an F2P:

• 3rd Dorm slot (300 gems)
• Dorm 2nd floor (500 gems)
• Dock space (remaining gems)

The main purpose of the dorm is for faster morale regen while grinding. Using ships with 0 morale will receive a 50% exp penalty and lose affinity.

The 2nd floor of the dorm will have the same number of slots as the 1st floor. While it lacks passive exp gain, it has faster morale regen. 3 dorm slots with the 2nd floor gives you a total of 6 slots, which is enough for your whole mob fleet.

Dock space is the biggest constraint for players. While this can help casual players collect all their waifus, there is also practical use in collecting ships - for later levelling to get their fleet tech on reaching lvl 120. These are important for players as they provide crucial additional stats that help players to tackle the hardest content (W14/15, H.Arbiters, CM).

Alternatively, players may consider getting the 3rd Academy slot for faster skill training or more dorm slots instead of just dock space (not recommended).

While players may opt to buy skins/rings with the F2P gems, this will come at the cost of QoL. It is recommended to only buy those with real money 💳.

[whole crypt]

docks are going to be your primary purchase

[nova crane]

ok

[narrow kiln]

I wasn't the one asking.
But... Thank you.

[nova crane]

are these worth buying

[cobalt rapids]

yes

the only stuff that isnt worth buying is purple mats when u stop being a new player, repair boxes and adapt stuff
meta rigging fortifications aswell if udc about enhancing all meta ships

[eternal basalt]

First time running OPSI? You shuld clean the stores, otherwise you risk items falling out due to rerun several times

Confluence of Nothingness Rerun

Links:

• Wiki Page: https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Confluence_of_Nothingness

Shop Priority

1. U-556 META (1 copy if you didn't get her from build/drop)
2. Build Tickets (can buy earlier if needed)
3. Cognitive Arrays / Chips
4. DR5 prints
5. Oil/Coins/SR Cat boxes/purple plates/etc. (depends on your need)
6. U-556 META Crystals (can also buy in META shop)
7. Rest of the shop.
   Note: If you're a new player, consider buying T4 tech boxes before everything else, it helps speed up your game progress by acquiring new equipment early.

FAQ:

Any Event Gear?

No :(

How do duplicate copies of U-556 META work?

• All duplicate copies are automatically converted to META crystals.
• You can buy META crystals in the event shop.
• Once you have enough to MLB her, all additional copies will convert to META currency, to be used in the META shop.

Oil Cap?

Oil Cap is on HT4, HT5, HT6, and is 35 mob, 47 boss, 16 sub on HT6. Do /oilcap in #bot-spam for more information.

Best Stages to Farm?

HT6 / HT5 > HT4 > HT2 > T6 > highest stage.

• HT6 for ship drop, HT5 for gold quad mags
• Make sure to do the SP stage once a day!
• Doing the daily x5 or x3 clears is also viable.

Should I pull for these ships?

Reasons you should pull for the ships, in no particular order:

• Waifu
• Collection
• Better than majority of permanent options at their hull type (only for gold/rainbow ships).
• It's a UR event, what more do I need to say!

<@&472236072743600148> pin plz thanks

[little venture]

[harsh gust]

why are you pinging mods and not like me or ender

[vale spindle]

cause syanda said i could and idk whos online

[eternal basalt]

Especially due to only 10 days left now

[vale spindle]

like yes i can scroll up and see that you were online before but are you online now

[harsh gust]

you could, didn't say you can't
just kinda curious

[vale spindle]

im just used to pinging mods so it becomes socially acceptable

[nova crane]

are there wisdom cubes as reward in some of the stages cus i think i got some from 2 and 5

[eternal basalt]

HS stages give 1 cube

[vale spindle]

if there are any one-time story stages then yes those give cubes

and yes if you do them in war archives they also give a cube

[eternal basalt]

Due to the new rerun system no cubes for old players

[thorn tartan]

Is there ever a need for more than one set of submarine cats?

[vale spindle]

not in the current version of azur lane

[cobalt rapids]

if ure a sub minmaxer pro then maybe u want a non rld cat and a rld sub cat

[hushed sorrel]

pretty sure i saw a event mission for each stage with 1 cube and some other stuff

[nova crane]

the clear reward is one time right

[thorn tartan]

oh yeah, or a sakura cat and an eagle cat. no i'm not that guy

[eternal basalt]

See umi no neko's post, but we don't get TS1/2 and HTS 1/2 anymore

[cobalt rapids]

what sakura or eagle cat for subs

[fallen jay]

Would I be considered a new player still? Should I be buying those boxes instead?

[thorn tartan]

is that not a thing?

[vale spindle]

no they mean same species but different talents

[cobalt rapids]

its not

[nova crane]

wait so i can do H6 for 2 cubes and repeat for HT6 for another 2

[vale spindle]

so you get a steel with more rld talents and a different steel with more trp focused talents etc.

[woeful sluice]

Why can't I challenge the S.P/EX stage in confulence of nothingness? I cleared all the hard stages do I need to clear the normal stages aswell?

[nova crane]

noooooooo

[cobalt rapids]

but getting a max rld steel and edel is more than enough for 99.9% of ppl

[eternal basalt]

No, the missions are for either... you CAN do TS1/2 and HTS 1/2

[vale spindle]

if you are like "my gear is so dogshit i literally have no usable gold gear" then yes
if you are like "my gear is alright for now and my only improvements are from research or gear lab" then probably not unless you hate gear swapping frequently

[thorn tartan]

anywho, i just hatched a edelweiss starting with flame and wolf! My sub cats are done. The others are taking a lot lot longer for good talents.

[atomic abyss]

ish a skill issue clearly

[last zenith]

do the more diffucult one so u get in sr directly

[nova crane]

i see

[cobalt rapids]

dw the pain has just begun

[last zenith]

less work

[eternal basalt]

Have you cleared D3?

[last zenith]

theres a circle thing in the middle of screen, click it

[woeful sluice]

nah I just didn't see the phase change in the middle XD

[last zenith]

theres 3 more things after

[woeful sluice]

thank you both

[last zenith]

ofc

[thorn tartan]

if I don't like the talents after the initial talents. I can reroll and keep the starting talents right? Do you reroll as soon as you get a crappy talent choice?

[last zenith]

cats?

[cobalt rapids]

techincally yes for maximizing time

[last zenith]

if so, immeditaly

[thorn tartan]

yes, i'm perfecting this edelweiss. Althouogh I'm not sure what perfect is yet

[cobalt rapids]

but u may want to maximize the coins aswell in which case u usually reroll after 1 point and check if u got the other special talent ( flame or the soul for hull ( soul/ace/alpha) )

[last zenith]

honestly I dont use cats too often, I had to start because world 14-3 was beginning to be diffucult

[thorn tartan]

oh, good idea umi

[cobalt rapids]

this is a perfect rld edel

[thorn tartan]

yeah, me too, didn't care about cats until W14ish

[last zenith]

fr.

[candid hound]

Is Bismarck zwei worth spending high amounts of gold and cube?

[last zenith]

I will eat snow cones now, By by

[thorn tartan]

cheif of staff and loading are pretty common, it shouldn't be too hard

[cobalt rapids]

just keep in mind theres a ryza collab soon

[last zenith]

she can be argued to be 2nd best between alsace musashi and her.

lion is slightly better then the 3 of em

[eternal basalt]

Use tickets first

[nocturne horizon]

Hi, id just like to know how important is the cats?

[candid hound]

[last zenith]

very

[thorn tartan]

not very important at all

[last zenith]

late game

[cobalt rapids]

cats are very helpful for clearing difficult content
mid to good cats boost fleets by like 20%

[last zenith]

fr

[nocturne horizon]

Can they increase aa?

[thorn tartan]

very late game, 2 flame cats can give you 6% right plus a few extra little bonuses

[eternal basalt]

I am a catlover... meowfficers get no love nor use

[last zenith]

anyways my food is melting

[cobalt rapids]

thos little bonuses add up

[candid hound]

I have lion should i pull for Bismarck?

[last zenith]

best to have more
a ur bb no matter how dated, is usually better then sr counterparts

[nocturne horizon]

So if i cant beat the stages i should add sone cats to the fleets

[cobalt rapids]

yes they do but thats just an inherent bonus they also do other beneficial stuff ontop because u shouldnt aim for aa talents

[candid hound]

But collab coming soon

[eternal basalt]

You can use them together you know

[nocturne horizon]

My main problem at the moment is lack of AA

[thorn tartan]

they don't increase anything by very much. the flame talents is the best one. just throw a flame cat on your fleet if you have one

[last zenith]

Im dumb. I dont know of any collab

[cobalt rapids]

a lack of aa is not fixed with cats

[candid hound]

Someone just said that a collab will come soon

[nocturne horizon]

Well then i should stop fixing stab wounds with bandages

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/The_Alchemist_and_the_Archipelago_of_Secrets

[cobalt rapids]

indeed

[last zenith]

lack of aa is fixed with helena

[nocturne horizon]

And san diego?

[cobalt rapids]

san diego is very good for fixing lack of aa yes

[nocturne horizon]

And any tips on where to get UR gear??

[weak moat]

How do I get rid of corruption

[nocturne horizon]

I have her oathed

[eternal basalt]

Gear lab, research

[cobalt rapids]

UR gear is gotten from research events and gearlab

[nocturne horizon]

Best way?

[eternal basalt]

Yes, aside from ur gear in shops... but that depends on event

[cobalt rapids]

best way is to do ur opsi regularly and do ur research regularly and play limited events
and also manage ur protocore so u can get the early boost in gear

[nocturne horizon]

I was afraid youd say that

[cobalt rapids]

luckily u dont need UR gear to be a 99.9% collector

[thorn tartan]

You sorta need UR gear to finish W15 tho

[nocturne horizon]

No, i just want to max some characters

Mainly Musashi

[cobalt rapids]

technically u dont but i would assume some1 who doesn't have UR gear doesnt have the account strength to back the lack of it either

[thorn tartan]

It's a single player game. Just play and get better.

At whatev pace you want

[nocturne horizon]

I have the UR gear for Musashi and almost got the plane for Amagi and Shinano but i think thats about it

[fast frigate]

biszwei already? crazyy

[nocturne horizon]

Anyone here have Unzen btw?

[viscid swift]

plenty of people here do

[thorn tartan]

I didn't finish the campaign for at least a year. I took my time.

[cobalt rapids]

gear is not as simple as UR > Gold > Elite
theres different stuff for different content but if u wanna use minimal brainpower and dont wanna read like 15 min guides then just go to ectl and check their gear templates for general content

[nocturne horizon]

She worth it?

[viscid swift]

worth what

[cobalt rapids]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfGO_iLEWrY

[nocturne horizon]

Ive watched a lot of tutorials, but i mainly follow the recommended loadouts

[thorn tartan]

Unzen is awesome. Great for clearing opsi quickly too

[nocturne horizon]

Thanks ill look into this

[nocturne horizon]

Any news on her rerun?

[cobalt rapids]

this isnt for u nor is it a gearing guide lol
thats just a showcase

[thorn tartan]

Unzen was my first UR event. So it must be coming up in the next few months

[eternal basalt]

October probably

[last zenith]

unzen is wife. she is also torpedo queen

[nocturne horizon]

I watched SuperDan(I think i spelled it correct) witch helped me a lot in the beginning

[last zenith]

also unzen swimsuit is a nice bonus

[viscid swift]

never heard of him so he's probably shit

[nocturne horizon]

Time to start saving

[thorn tartan]

her double preload is great for clearing opsi. she's good everywhere else, especially against heavy armors

[viscid swift]

dude, you can get the amound needed to pity her in 2 months and you'll get 44 build tickets

[thorn tartan]

I didn't use her for W15 (or W14) tho I think

Needed more AA focus

[eternal basalt]

+sept new UR

[viscid swift]

and a collab rerun in July most likely

[nocturne horizon]

I know, Azur Lane is quite friendly with resources

[last zenith]

W fleet for world 15, nagato musashi shininao, (nagato and amagi can be interchanged) ibuki kawakaze unzen. If i need tanky ibuki can be changed with azuma

[viscid swift]

plenty of other things to pull on in the mean time

[eternal basalt]

+UR retro august (question mark)

[thorn tartan]

players use nagato?

[atomic abyss]

as waifu maybe

[last zenith]

Ni ni is goated

[atomic abyss]

for anything hard no

[nocturne horizon]

I used to

[viscid swift]

that fleet is dead without manual and a lot of cursed tech

[last zenith]

i know
learned that the hard way

[viscid swift]

so why reccomend it

[last zenith]

I use it:9 just stating fleet

[last zenith]

mmm

[sleek tulip]

What is this? I skipped the explanation accidentally -_-

[viscid swift]

I mean your statement is blatantly false and it's not really disernable as a joke to non veterans

[last zenith]

you use that to remove the bad stuff from your system
fight 5 times using one fleet then go to tile

[sleek tulip]

Where can I get the missing crystal from?

[eternal basalt]

META shop... but there's a looooong wait before that. She is S15, now they rerun S7

[atomic abyss]

unavailable currently

[sleek tulip]

Would it be available again?

[eternal basalt]

In 8 seasons

[atomic abyss]

eventually, in the meta shop

[sleek tulip]

16 months?!?

[last zenith]

later better then never ahh

[flint sonnet]

Since this event has such low level enemies should I use two ships to try and clear it? Or stack it with 6 anyways?

[atomic abyss]

hard mode exists
remember this is the old event style

but feel free if you're short on oil

[eternal basalt]

Use 1:1 in A, B and C. 3:3 in D

[wanton lynx]

besides bismarck II, which UR should I mlb next? (I have 6 buliens)

[cobalt rapids]

fritz

[acoustic quiver]

"U-556 META (1 copy if you didn't get her from build/drop)"
does this matter if you are not going to mlb/use her?

[undone plover]

if u care about collection
also 8k is pretty cheap unless u just started the game
and she is META so she goes in META dock so she wont take up dock space

[hollow quartz]

When is the next UR event? EN anniversary?

[forest palm]

Sept for JP Anniversary most likely

[hollow quartz]

Nice so I have time to save cause seems like bismark is refusing to come early There is likely no other UR rerun in between right?

[forest palm]

hard to say

[eternal basalt]

She (crystals) is in the META shop anyone since the OG event

[hollow quartz]

Who is next on UR rerun list? Unzen?

[eternal basalt]

We MIGHT get an UR retro for EN to give us also "a UR"

[hollow quartz]

I hope so that would be a life saver for my cubes. Enterprise retro when

[eternal basalt]

Unzen expected October. DRs next month but those take research.

[hollow quartz]

Oh speaking of research, the piriority is still Anchorage and Freidrich right?

[eternal basalt]

Maybe, but with PR8 going to drop soon... who knows if that stays the case

[ivory pawn]

It probably stays the case. They're prioritized mostly for being both good and quickly accessible with catchup/coining. PR8 won't be quickly accessible.

[steady rain]

is SP unlocked by 3starring HT3?

[fair lance]

clearing HT6

[hollow gust]

JP

[silk helm]

why fritz over vanguard ?

[cobalt rapids]

1. vanny is in perma
2. fritz would be more generally usefull ( for campaign and outside ) for his dock

[sweet robin]

Anyone can link me to a general game guide or something? Just got back, last played 2021 I guess.. got some units built already but mostly based on aesthetics rather than efficiency.

[inland shoal]

Anyone have that predicted rerun list? Need to see if I can swing pulling for Regensburg or not

[viscid swift]

next would be Clemenceau's event and after that Unzen

we also have the Ryza collab rerunning in July most likely

[flint arrow]

man why does it take so long to max out reload stat, is there some specific type of ship that improves it the most

[soft raft]

guess we're close to finding out if the 2nd tempesta event will get its own dedicated rerun as well

[soft raft]

Sort by RLD
https://retropaint.github.io/azur-lane-fleet-tech-tracker/

[flint arrow]

oh fleet tech i meant while enhancing ships

[soft raft]

yes that's what I meant as well

[soft raft]

oh
DDs I find have more RLD

[flint arrow]

ok i will look where more of them drops

as for fleet tech its a system i never interacted with some nerd shit ngl

[inland shoal]

Don't farm for enhance fodder, you'll get more than you need eventually

[rough vale]

Thanks y'all. Any word on Gorizia event ever re running?

[eternal basalt]

As it was a raid, it should go straight to perma the ships

[viscid swift]

probably never since it's a raid event

[eternal basalt]

Also next week is a NEW IB event

[strange path]

are there any rewards for 3 starring event stages?

[viscid swift]

yes

[inland shoal]

Yeah, check your missions

[marsh plover]

Can I get Emanuele Pessagno now via the build pools? How do I get her now that AB has been added to the war archives?

Check your favorite tier list in #bot-spam /tierlist

[bleak nymph]

Is this gun good or did I mix it up

[ionic kraken]

Which ur is more useful in y’all’s opinion. Bismarck zwei or traflegar? I don’t have a lot of ur bullins so idk which is more worthwhile

[wet badge]

Zwei

[zenith heron]

Only for mob uses, hence the barrage spamming...

[sweet delta]

It is usable at best for chapter 12 and earlier mob, and bad for anything more difficult

[sweet delta]

The answer is likely bisz. What UR BBs have you maxed? If you have Lion, Alsace, and another good one, then Trafalgar may be more useful

[vale spindle]

yes

[undone yacht]

Should I use my combat data packs or analyze them?

[soft raft]

Always analyze
XP Grind is the easy part of research

[viscid swift]

always analyze them

anyone know whats up?

Between Kuybyshev and Hwah Jah, Hwah Jah is much more worth it to grab from this right?

[atomic abyss]

Between those 2 specifically yes

[soft raft]

Hwah Jah is RLD tech while Kuybyshev is CL FP

[atomic abyss]

Hwah Jah is also one of the best CV for w15 support fleet

Once retrofit

[pseudo hearth]

I’ve got everyone else there, so yeah

[chrome fiber]

Should i pull the current banner UR?

[viscid swift]

yes

[chrome fiber]

will there be any more ur coming soon ? Or no info on when

[strange path]

it says i can only buy 50 bps of the prototype tenrai, do i need more than 50 to craft it?

[atomic abyss]

Based on previos years

Next one will be JP anni in September

[atomic abyss]

Exactly 50 is needed to get one

[strange path]

did my math wrong i definitely do not have the resources to buy it right now

are there any other gold general use guns that arent mentioned in the guide?

[pseudo hearth]

The purple ones listed there are also very good. If you lack some of the listed options.

Wait, scratch that

Are you talking about BB guns or something else?

[strange path]

i meant the prototype shop

i was thinking about the pr research bps

[pseudo hearth]

Yes, but you said general use guns. Are you referring to BB guns?

[strange path]

any is fine

[pseudo hearth]

I mean, there’s plenty of good guns in the prototype shop, but it depends on what you need, and for what type of ship.

[strange path]

maybe another bb gun, a CL gun and a ca gun

cl in question is sandy and the cb in question is roon

[pseudo hearth]

Well, Sandy actually uses a DD gun despite being a CL.

[pseudo hearth]

He was asking about the Prototype shop,

Ah, your second comment came in after I sent that LOL

[strange path]

so are these gold ones the only ones worth picking up from protocore?

[viscid swift]

something like that

[pseudo hearth]

Ones with the red outlines are high priority. Green outline are situational. All of these lists are listed in importance, stuff at the top is higher priority then stuff lower down.

[dreamy blade]

consider just saving up the core for the tenrai prints if you already bought the champy gun pribts

Instead of randomly spending it

[pseudo hearth]

Mhm, you can get better DD guns from other sources in regard to Sandy.

[atomic abyss]

/protocore shd be fixed now

[dreamy blade]

the amount of proto core you get is a bit frontloaded, after which it is hard to come by until you start minmaxing your research catchups

[forest palm]

the more seasons you start to knock out the more excess prints you get, I am sitting on so much protocores

[strange path]

i was just wondering because the protocore shop guide only shows those guns, but in the gear lab guide it shows some guns that you can obtain by buying the bps in the protocore shop so i was wondering if they were worth picking up

[dreamy blade]

If they aren't mentioned then you can assume it's better to craft it in the gear lab instead

[pseudo hearth]

A lot of those other ones you mentioned are also able to be crafted in the gear lab.

[strange path]

what does 8t stand for?

[dreamy blade]

It*

[strange path]

ok

i will hold on to my protocore for now then

[viscid swift]

it's a balance of cost and oppurtunity cost among other things

[strange path]

and pr7 should be prioritized for research focus? i keep seeing different opinions on which one is best

[dreamy blade]

That is what I would recommend, especially for gear

[viscid swift]

for the next 3 weeks or so yeah

[crude jetty]

What planes do I put on Haku? Her barrage changes so wondering what setup is better

[dreamy blade]

Tb for bossing, fighter for mobbing in the flex slot

[viscid swift]

Equip based on what aircraft will do the most damage, the barrage is irrelevant

[dreamy blade]

And yeah equipment is very contextual but generally you'll want to be using her vs heavy armor bosses

[bleak nymph]

how many champy guns is ideal?

[dreamy blade]

2-3 depending on if you have a flandre/soyuz gun etc as well

[soft raft]

3

[proven fable]

whats the best thing to fortify on U-556 meta?

[sinful escarp]

everything

[proven fable]

wat

[soft raft]

foritfy is the META equivalent of enhancements for regular ships

so ideally you do all of the foritifications

[proven fable]

how should i spread it out then? cuz once it its 100%, i cant enhance it anymore

[soft raft]

Wdym "Spread it out"?

[atomic abyss]

It's a fixed amount

For each stat

[soft raft]

also yeah of course you cant enhance it any further once you 100% it, that means you're done with that ship's foritification

[proven fable]

enhance bar is joined

[atomic abyss]

There's nothing to spread

It's like

[atomic abyss]

E.g You can only enhance her torp 15x, her reload 12x and her FP 3x
And that adds up to the 100%

[proven fable]

i see, alr

[atomic abyss]

It's a fixed cap for each stat

[ionic kraken]

I have mlb 120 lion with 10 skills, but her gear isn’t great apart from the event main gun

[crude jetty]

So for general use what shud be equipped in the flex slot for Haku

[soft raft]

"General Use" isnt really a thing in this game but if you were to just grind her lvls in W12 or something, doesnt really matter

[broken vortex]

Do you use all the shipbuilding tickets first before using cubes

[rapid summit]

Is hood tirpitz and Atago still obtainable in medal shop?

[viscid swift]

yes

[viscid swift]

you should yes

[sweet delta]

You must

[crude jetty]

Is there really a need to grind levels with ship exp packs

[sweet delta]

Idk but waiting 30 days for one level 125 stranger doesn't sound so good to me

[soft raft]

you gotta grind maps with lvl 100+ ships to produce XP packs in the first place anyways

[viscid swift]

not to mention you'll need to grind for coins anyway and you may as well kill 2 birds with one stone while you're at it

and affinity for that matter

you also don't get to this point with just XP packs

[strange path]

i want more white shells than black shells right?

[stark quiver]

Just get 3 white shells and maybe 2-3 black shells for now
Any more is QOL

[crude jetty]

So that's where they come from!

[soft raft]

XP books also didnt exist until like
uhhhhhh
I want to say like 2022(?)

[atomic abyss]

just check for when lecture hall was reworked

[broken vortex]

Thanks for the info

[quartz jungle]

Is having more ships owned than attacks normal?

[atomic abyss]

It's very possible for someone who barely plays the game and just gachas

[stark quiver]

Idt it matters that much
I can have a lot of ships and no attacks just because I like to gamble

[sweet delta]

Do they play 1-1 all day every day

[slow fox]

I have more attacks than ships owned because I 2000-shot meta raids instead of 1-shot

[viscid swift]

Ehhhh

[stark quiver]

Aura farming

[little tree]

Alpha aura

[wind oxide]

Damn bro puts pi's value as his name

[loud swift]

I'm pretty new to this game and already managed to pull Bismarck zwei, is it worth it to start pulling standard banner to start working towards exchanging a ur ship or should I save cubes for an event banner that doesn't have a ur ship?

[loud swift]

Indeed I did

[viscid swift]

Save for UR banners and such

[cobalt gate]

save

you can get a ur from beginner mission

[viscid swift]

Outside of events stick to one light build a day

[cobalt gate]

i thought ani was agust?

[viscid swift]

Ours is

[cobalt gate]

ok, was suprised devs already posting about it

[stark quiver]

Our lovely cosplay and cc community needs time to make costumes and whatnot, also need to plan in advance for events and so on

[quartz jungle]

Those also count? Didn’t know

[viscid swift]

Well C1 doesn't count

[sweet robin]

Hi, I finished T6 in the event but it's still 0%. Is that normal?

[ivory pawn]

You didn't finish T6.

[sweet delta]

Did you actually

[ivory pawn]

You finished TS2 or something.

[sweet robin]

Pretty sure I beat the boss

hek I'll just double check later. ty

[ivory pawn]

It's a thing this event, there was a little ministage before you unlocked T6.

[sweet robin]

copy that

[stark quiver]

Oh so that’s where my runs went

[nocturne horizon]

Quick question, when is anniversary

[wind oxide]

August

[nocturne horizon]

Edward can i please get my damn assassin robes back

[wind oxide]

what? no ofc
its mine if i stole it

[nocturne horizon]

Then I'll have to steal it back

[atomic abyss]

[soft raft]

CN: May
EN: August
JP: September

[nocturne horizon]

Ok thanks

[wind oxide]

Should i farm for the torp mag?

[fair lance]

2 CN anniversaries

[soft raft]

wdym
there are alot of magentic torps in the game

[wind oxide]

No then

[soft raft]

No i mean please specify

[wind oxide]

Ohh the event HT5 drop

[stark quiver]

You should not farm ops to specifically get the rainbow quint mag,
Instead farm ops to get other good gear

[soft raft]

They're good but they're also in german tech crates so not specifically worth worrying over

[fair lance]

He's talking about quad mag prints from ht5

[wind oxide]

Yessir

[ornate shore]

Hello guys, where can i find out about which stage is best for farming exp, gold etc? And like the good weapon blueprints

[atomic abyss]

exp 12-1
gold 12-4
you dont farm weapon blueprints from maps
those primarily come from research academy

[sweet robin]

Hi, is it necessary to finish HT1 to HT3 in order to reach HT4?

[atomic abyss]

yes

old event style

[stiff bison]

question, do yall think Bismarck Zwei gonna get a new skin or something...

[soft raft]

#al-general is that way

[white musk]

After I buy all the proto cores this month, should I save my medals for next month or just buy gold bulin?

[viscid swift]

I would buy the gold bullins among other things

[white musk]

other than gold bulin, what has priority? Skill books?

[opaque galleon]

I buy general plates and dorm food

[viscid swift]

Ships for collection/tech, purple bullins, skill books, Grey plates for me etc

[stiff bison]

can i see someones late game fleet? just trying grasp an idea what it looks like

[atomic abyss]

well

[fair lance]

fleet change on what you're doing

[atomic abyss]

there are diff late game fleets depending on the content

[stiff bison]

siren?

[soft raft]

wdym by "Late game"?
W14? W15? W13H? OpSi? Arbiter? META Fight?

[wind hazel]

the late game is w12 shitter farming 😭

[atomic abyss]

typical opsi would be
mob fleet
CV boss fleet
BB boss fleet
crossfleet or another CV boss fleet

[opaque galleon]

There is no one size fits all solution for a fleet, fleets that are good against one type of content may be mediocre against another

[atomic abyss]

CV boss fleets could be like
amagi shinano hakuryuu or
kears yk2 impla or
soyuz nakhi rumey

[viscid swift]

My late game opsi fleets are uhhh, not necessarily someone to aim for

In the sense that they are designed to optimal farming more than actually beating everything in opsi because opsi is largely too easy for my fleets

[stiff bison]

i just want to beat the boss for opsi

[viscid swift]

Hard arbiter?

[stiff bison]

yeah

[viscid swift]

Really deepends on what you have as well as gear because there's numerous set ups that work

[opaque galleon]

This boss is heavy right?

[soft raft]

yeah

[wind hazel]

uh, ironblood new event next?

[opaque galleon]

This is what I use for heavy bosses that move

[thorn tartan]

how do you reroll a cat's talents? I don't see a button

[stark quiver]

Reset button

[forest palm]

Seems like that is the case

[thorn tartan]

oh, you have to pick a talent first

[stark quiver]

Why unzen gun for heavy

[rapid grail]

yes according to cn post

[opaque galleon]

Oh my bad, it’s supposed to be hinden gun

[wind hazel]

[forest palm]

JP twitter just posted a ship

[rapid grail]

eh w/e, i only care if they are relevant in one gamemode

[wind hazel]

100twin on kazagumo

[opaque galleon]

Whoops, single 114

[normal cedar]

what iris libre gear do I use on brest for the skill? is it worth making anything in gear lab

[crisp geode]

Worth farming the event past 15k points?

[wind hazel]

the rainbow AA was ideal, but i'm not sure if it's the ideal gear nowadays since it's considered obsolete now

[rapid grail]

depends on what you want to buy from the event shop

[wind hazel]

i'd just use the french dd gun on her

[opaque galleon]

Yeah, something like this actually, haku and implac interchangeable depending on if boss moves

[crisp geode]

Tix, META and the crates

I didnt see whats in there past the first line

[normal cedar]

wait what french dd gun, I dont seem to have any

[opaque galleon]

Why French DD gun and not 114?

[wind hazel]

single 138.6

[wind hazel]

we're talking about Brest

and it's 113, not 114

[rapid grail]

well you kinda wanna buy the meta crystals as well for mlb u556M
oil and coins are optional, but i buy them because i love oil

[normal cedar]

ok, got it, thanks

[rapid grail]

baguette gun is next best option imo, craftable from gear lab and farmable from skybound oratorio (WA) iirc

[opaque galleon]

Don’t you want rainbow dd gun on Brest since she has a weirdly high secondary gun efficiency?

[stark quiver]

does it really matter

[crisp geode]

Okay, i'll farm some more

[rapid grail]

oh, mog gun? yea sure if you have her and don't have a dd/cl to slot it in then

[wind hazel]

it's wasted on her

[opaque galleon]

Nah like rainbow 100 would be good too

[wind hazel]

i don't think there's any situation where you want mog gun on Brest lul

[rapid grail]

mb\

[wind hazel]

unless?

[stark quiver]

geryon doesnt tank some of zweis damage
it tanks all wtf

[stark quiver]

youre rich and it doesnt matter x

[wind hazel]

strongest Brest in history of Dota2

[opaque galleon]

I mean, honestly if you don’t want to use a rainbow gun, I think the ijn gold twin 127 is a good slot on Brest

[normal cedar]

should I craft the red one in gear lab or craft the blue one via blueprints?

[slow fox]

Unoptimal eHP spotted

[rapid grail]

red one, brest gun sucks damage-wise

[opaque galleon]

The blue one kinda sucks but I use it since I play wows, you shouldn’t use it though

[rapid grail]

ah yes, historical accuracy. not here though 😔

[eager mulch]

Anson

[opaque galleon]

“Historical”

[rapid grail]

[wind hazel]

fixed it just for you

[normal cedar]

oh I see, thanks

[wind hazel]

wait i even changed the gun wtf

[stark quiver]

was frostfall before or after zwei

[opaque galleon]

I think the rerun was before zwei original run

[dreamy blade]

is beaver optimal ehp (is speed even included in the calcs in some way)

[stark quiver]

speed dodge stuff

[slow fox]

Beaver IPH is the best eHP setup for cruisers.

Speed is not included in the calcs.

[opaque galleon]

But the kron gun is no longer obtainable right?

[stark quiver]

omagod a mova

[wind hazel]

yeah waiting to be archived

[dreamy blade]

oh so it's better purely from the stats so in practice with the speed it's probably even more?

[rapid grail]

isnt kronk archived now? or am i misremembering

[wind hazel]

she is, the gun isn't

[opaque galleon]

Her gun isn’t

[rapid grail]

lol

[stark quiver]

konk has been archiuvweas
not her gun

[slow fox]

That depends on how you want to extrapolate the current eHP value with whatever speed does.

For now, eHP is useful as a reference between different ships. If we're having the ships be in the same vanguard anyways, then their speed is normalized/averaged. This means that, no matter the speed, their relative eHP does not change.

[dreamy blade]

right i meant "more" as in more of an increase over their base ehp

[stark quiver]

wadafak
what is geryon hp

its 250k

[vale spindle]

isn't geryon hp like 100% of zwei at skill level 10

[slow fox]

This is a question I have not answered. DOES faster movement increase eHP? I'm not sure.

If I had to guess, there's an ideal speed where lifetime is maximized. It is not zero, and it is not infinity. The current eHP assumes a speed of zero.

[stark quiver]

in ex

[vale spindle]

isn't that on mrlar website

[stark quiver]

yes, i just remembered

[dreamy blade]

on that note is beaver better than albion report for hms cruisers

[slow fox]

Yeah

[stark quiver]

beaver in kawa meta be like
you get hit by everything and want eva rate instead

[simple ice]

Just to make sure im not missing anything, but if i understand upgrades past +10, auxillary always better to upgrade first since it also gives stats and not just +1 opsi dmg ?

[opaque galleon]

Beaver is the second best evasion aux

[atomic abyss]

No

[stark quiver]

it gives more fleet power

[dreamy blade]

upgrading guns gives dmg not just opsi dmg

[atomic abyss]

Considering that upgrading a (good) gun or plane past +10

Improves their dmg numbers itself

[dreamy blade]

it is not explained well in-game but upgrading to +13 increases the gun/plane's dmg multiplier

[plain saffron]

Weapons etc also increases dmg, not just opsi dmg +1

The Damage Modifier lvl x

[simple ice]

ah i see, good to know

[plain saffron]

Blame yostar, also for plane it increases the bomb/gun dmg directly

CN shows the number directly

[simple ice]

ye the tooltip is kinda misleading

[dreamy blade]

small indie company pls

[plain saffron]

Small indie shouldn't have time to change things to worse version

[opaque galleon]

On that note, battleship guns would be your priority for +13 if you have limited plates since they are cheaper than a full cv loadout

[worldly lion]

Is zwei worth getting/investing? I only have nj, Alsace and fried as my ur bbs

[stark quiver]

battleship and cv weapons take different plates

[stark quiver]

yes, she is better than nj and fdg

[opaque galleon]

Yeah but I’m talking about using universal plates and guild shop

[worldly lion]

Gotcha. Whats her ideal fleet comp?

[dreamy blade]

main gun plates arent really "cheaper" when you consider you have to share with cl/ca/dd guns as well

[simple ice]

i do use the prototype twin 457mm and triple 406mm mk2, prototype 406mm skc/34, so iguess ill lvl up those first to 13 ? then i should go to planes ?

[opaque galleon]

Okay but you aren’t leveling +13 vanguard guns

[simple ice]

i havent played in a while but i dont have to many bb guns it seems

[opaque galleon]

Unless you are really rich

[wind hazel]

you usually need more plane plates

[stark quiver]

idk abt the skc

[dreamy blade]

406mm skc/34 is sus, 457 is a bit questionable to +13, 406mk2 is good
