Gem Spending 101

Gems Gem 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 💳.

Even for a casual, 300-400 dock space is preferable

#

Because retiring ships every other fight/pull sucks ass

#

And the number of ships you'll want to keep will only increase

hmm
black shell for 98 hr

Is anything worth getting with the prototype cores?

tropic tusk
# nova crane yes and im desperate for cubes

daily mission gives u 4 cubes, 1 of the missing require u to pull 1 time for 1 cube , event cost 2 cubes so if u daily event u will profit 2 cubes , or u can just use ur ticket to daily pull that way u will daily profit 4 cubes

cobalt robin

# wind oxide isnt it better to focus on the quad first?

nope, Tenrai have a better overall value since u can use on pretty much all CVs and alot of combinations and situations can need one
Ply Gun is pretty much exclusive to Ply (yeah yeah other CLs DPS need one, but in practice only Ply it will be using since other CLs DPS arent used in meta and pretty much all them arent much a diff with or without) and if no Ply them ur Best BB it will be using for FP Boost in Boss Battles, and for pushing content 137 is a better option

MEOWFFICER QUICK GUIDE

What are Meowfficers?
They are companions that you can add up to 2 per fleet (including sub fleets). They buff your fleets with their "skills" and "talents". There are 27 different types of them.

How do I get them?
You get them by opening Cat Boxes in the Cattery. The Cattery can be found under HQ > Cat Lodge. The first Cat Box you buy everyday is free. You can buy up to 14 more per day, with each costing 1500 Gold. It is strongly recommended you do NOT binge on them!

How do I level them?
Just like ships, they gain experience when sortied. They do not cost oil, however their exp gain is dependent on the oil spent by the fleet. They max out at level 30. You can also level them by feeding other meowfficers to them, at about 30% exp loss (20% bonus if identical). Additionally they can gain levels passively through Comf-Forts.

What are talents?
Talents buff a specific ship type or faction. They get 1-3 permanent talents, depending on rarity.. Every 5 levels they gain, they get a Cat Paw which can be used to roll new talents or raise the level of some talents. You can reroll any new talents once every 24h with gold (increases with number of talents).

What are skills?
Skills are unique to each type of Meowfficer. They usually give some stat buff or some perk to the fleet. They get 1 skill initially, and they can get up to 3 skills, each obtained by feeding duplicates (1 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd). The potency of the skills is dependent on their stats which increase through levels.
Do note that the skill stat buffs are mostly inferior to talent stat buffs.

Visit the AL Wiki Page on Meowfficers for more details.
Cat Guide by Riceist#3504 for detailed explanation of skills and talents.

did u read that Tenrai is used in pretty much all CVs and basically for Mob or Boss (preferable boss) and can work in pretty much alot of combinations ... and btw,m the best AoE DB of the game by quite a margin

#

also BBs nowadays are worse than CVs for DMG, dosnt matter if u have Ply Gun, cant match how much DMG CVs does

cobalt robin
cobalt rapids
#

yes cv fleets such as alsace lion fritz and lion soyuz nahkimov EmileHmm

left cedar
#

yeah, full of mechanics that force use of BBs and CVs, cuz if dont ... they cant match CVs ...

#

also Lion Gun isnt much a reason to go for Tenrai, since each BB gun have they on niche to be used, and Lion is HE so means Light Targets

atomic abyss
#

I mean

#

I do agree with the tenrai recommendation

#

Just one small quibble

#

Thanks to Lion, BBs are now able to keep up with CVs

cobalt robin
#

I'll need anything since I'm in gear poverty

#

I have lion and zwei now so I'll get whatever you guys recommend

atomic abyss
#

Tenrai is absolutely more valuable than a quad 152

cobalt robin
#

Alright

#

I can only get 10 😔

#

How do I get more of those cores

atomic abyss
#

Any unused research BP into protocore

i can give an answer and say that it isnt a good poverty build

atomic abyss

Well it could be better

stark quiver

infact she isnt even good because lb1

atomic abyss

But it's inherently in the correct direction

should i get helena retro instead of meta?

helena retro is the best buffer in game
helena meta is not a bad buffer, but doesnt see much use

slender inlet

hello?

#

i thought helena meta is better

inland shoal
#

No

she isnt really

crimson glacier
#

helena meta is like wayyyyyy worse

slender inlet
#

i wasted my meta resourses on her

inland shoal
#

But I don't see how these 2 compete in any way

crimson glacier
#

normal helenas buff is the best buff in the game but its only 60% chance

slender inlet
#

helena is rng

stark quiver
#

its better than a coin toss

crimson glacier
#

helena meta meanwhile doesnt really have anything notable

stark quiver

or you can forgo helenas and just run other buffers

how much rld and oath?

So this Lion impla centaur does better without buffers?

atomic abyss
wind oxide
#

👌

late flame
#

dang using centaur in 2025

wind hazel
#

is their 3 strike better than 3strike ijn?

wind oxide
#

i mean the 4 strike is better

atomic abyss
#

Obviously not lmao

#

The whole point is this compares 4 strike

wind hazel
#

what makes their 4th strike stronger

stark quiver
#

a 4th strike

wind oxide
#

f2p vs p2w

wind hazel
#

is it just the gear gimping on IJN part to achieve 4 strike

atomic abyss
#

Without oath yes you are gimping IJN gear

#

The thing is there was no alternative

wind hazel
#

with oath?

atomic abyss
#

Less gimping

#

Pretty sure they still used bearcat

wind hazel
#

but still worse?

atomic abyss
#

Better because 4th strike actually lands with oath

#

The whole comparison stems from the fact that there's no way for an IJN comp to fully 4 strike reasonably without oath

wind hazel
#

so it's just HMS>IJN no oath 4 strikes

atomic abyss
#

Correct

#

Which is a logic that applies to the large majority of players

#

The conclusion was never HMS > IJN for heavy

south sequoia
#

uhh is it fine if I order hind mog eldkai like mog hind eldkai, or should I have hind main tank

single line trades survibility for more vanguard damage
people mainly use double tho because survivability is good, and the ehp buff you get is also quite large

you can get a free UR Bulin from current event milestone too

get one from the milestone, buy one from the shop, 2LB your Musashi. next month, buy another 2 and max limit break your musashi
max limit break your shoukaku now with 2 gold bulin

Use musashi, unicorn, shoukaku

you don't need 2nd fleet for now

should i pull on event banner?

wind hazel
#

yes, use the free ticket, 3 times a day until last day of event

weary gust
#

Don't bother with attack mode. In attack mode they hit the enemy once in a cutscene that hurts all the enemies a little bit, like 10-15%. You won't get any exp for your subs either that way. In support mode they come into the battle and fire torpedoes, doing a lot more damage and getting exp.

Probably better than Cleo but that's a very low bar. There are many better options for many of your ships in those fleets. Also, for what content?
Retrofitting Unicorn should be your #1 priority atm.

New ships are constantly released. By the time she reruns there will probably be another ship that can substitute for her/is stronger.

Rumey is main fleet = backline.

With two plane slots and an AA gun like all CVls.

shes classed as a CV in the game

let otto tank, remove the other two, use elite ships instead. helena and your starter DD are good

Otto is a DD

Any ship with high ehp can.

tawdry halo

DDs have lower HP but higher evasion so their hp is worth "more".

It depends on the ship.

although CBs are tanks alright
