dock space is the best use for f2p gems, full stop; why are you spending it on skins
Also this
f2p should not even considering buying skins
The Shima skin won't go anywhere regardless
cuz Im casual 
/gems READ
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 💳.

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
or white shell for 100 hr on alsace
do a coin toss
Yes
There are 2 extra nodes
do the hst or smth fiurst
omg it's the middle button
So you have to clear a total of 7 nodes before hitting HT6
nygami did not click around and find out
like my main at HT6 but alt stuck at HT3 and no arrows
yes DD gun is better
who should i choose
Shinano
alr ty
ofc shinano
2 fire control tables is the max we could obtain right
for now yes
Is it worth giving to Lion or keeping on other bbs?
if you use lion then its good on her
I only care about character designs
so basically u already answer urself on that statement
wait so the materials on top and bottom are farmed in Operation Siren right?
depends who you already have max limit broken
send a screenshot
all 3 materials are exclusive to operation siren
aight thanks
should i build in limited pool for this
if u didnt get the new UR yet then yes
you already have a ticket daily for 15 fights
oh ya
is it normal to have too much gold at some point? where can i use up my gold?
yes and im desperate for cubes
Research
if there arent any ticket events i do 1 light build because it just evens out
Shipyard
there's no one i want to coin up tho... so just dump gold there even if it's not necessary?
No bruh im saying if you have
Is anything worth getting with the prototype cores?
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
you can do researches or reroll cats
bro removed the h
tenrai, q152, 457 are good
isnt it better to focus on the quad first?
is there a good guide for cats? ive never rly gotten to understand it
Got it thanks
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
akaeth mentioned
best bot in this lands, how are u ?

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.
Well if they're gonna use BBs then the quad is the better choice ig
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
I have the triple 406 from last event so I think I'll rather take tenrai
yes cv fleets such as alsace lion fritz and lion soyuz nahkimov 
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
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
I'll need anything since I'm in gear poverty
I have lion and zwei now so I'll get whatever you guys recommend
Tenrai is absolutely more valuable than a quad 152
yes
Turn your combat data packs you get from research handbooks into protocore
Any unused research BP into protocore
btw, next event right after this rerun or deadweak ?
next week mt
lets hope its deadweek
where do i grind for oils
touching grass
jokes aside
w8 for comms and ur Canteen
commission
without commissions
all u can do is wait then lol
ok
well u can swap ur card if ur in a hurry
Yo what kinda gun do I put on Zwei? Georgia gun?
i went from 23k oils to 149 oils in just one week bro
Idk how she works yet just got her
Thanks
depends on wut u are trying to do
and ur point is?
put strong guns
the battlepass thing
wt about the battlepass
Diff boss, diff guns
diff teammates diff options
mobbing diff guns ...
so everything it will impact ur guns decisions on BBs
specialized bulin
u still have 40 days to do it
i mean the one in event
did u do all x5 daily yet?
Not dead week
Oh aight, thx
all i can do now is playing os
back to back events is crazy
gg to the newbs
then play os , and learn to save up some oil next time , u can awlays swap ur card
ok, let me understood, so its straight up event after rerun
sorry dumb, but i'm not native EN
wdym
they mean to pay money, which you should probably never do
last event i finsih with 0 oil , and this event i saved up 16k oil entering it
cool
Yes
Iirc CN said it was a minor? Event
Raid event
Prolly like alvitr event
Or Strasbourg
arigathanx
dmmit, so no Scheer once again ?!!
Yea iirc
if u know theres a event coming just do daily mission and play opsi
Wait watafak
Who should I get? Prolly not NJ since I have lion and zwei
Shinano
Shinano regardless of who you had
meta wise shinano is way better
Warspite now already is HMS NJ
I have 2 ur bullins, who should I mlb lion or zwei?
Lion
u do know people cant really give u answer when they dont know wht u have right
i can give an answer and say that it isnt a good poverty build
Well it could be better
infact she isnt even good because lb1
But it's inherently in the correct direction
These are the guns I have
The issue is yeah the lack of limit breaks
Which won't be fixed so quickly
Gun is fine
iirc something like this

I don't have the 2nd aux, most of mine are autoloaders and repair kits
It's fine by poverty standards
dw much about it ur purple gear wont last long anyway
luxurious poverty 

I got this but that's for my lion
I hope so 😔😔
I don't have much problem with the content rn but I don't like being poor 😔
well ur in luck this game isnt p2w so u cant swap ur card for gear
Cleared ht6 earlier
Yea ik
in due time u will catch up
I need ur bullins but I already bought 2 this month
What event was Fritz rumey in?
dont buy UR bullions unless u can MLB a UR ship btw they cost dock space
yea I bought to mlb lion
Substellar Crepuscule
Is there a chance for it to come back?
yea
in 2 years yes
2027 lmao
assuming devs do not play darts with re-runs
what should i use with my core data, black shell or white shell or pure oxygen torpedo
/coredata
Imma save this
at least 3 white shells, 1-3 black shells
ignore torp for now
u can open the link and save the link cause link gets automatically updated when guide is updated
I already saved the pic it's fine
Oh updates NVM then
yea thats the benefit cause its the same link but different image as guide updates
Yea
how much exp does it take for a ship to get to lv125
so considering that the admirality fire control table is unavailable for now, is my best bet for lion/alsace white and black shells?
3.4m for Srs and below
4.1m for UR
aight thanks
oh thanks
Hi, returning player here, stopped for almost 2 years, just got back in time for Bismarck Zweii.
Anyways, asking for help on what gears to craft in gearlab, I left after a few months when OpSi was introduced.
Thanks
/gearlab
Wyvern torpedo bomber is the highest priority
At least for rainbow gears
Those in the red border are generally the more important ones to craft
Okay gotcha, thanks
150 pulls still no bis2
Ouch
man I will hit pity even if she appears at this point
Yea
If you do get her before pity it's a win win i guess lol
I got pretty lucky last and this event
is she worth building?
Do you have any other ur BB?
shes one of the best bb
Warspite Retrofit
and Ulrich von Hutten?
y do u need 2 uni?
I don't need you do tho
im not even spam farming for her its just if she shows up by luck ill craft another her
I was just clearing the stage and I got her back to back lol
purple ships are common when pushing
yes
Kid versions of ships dont give any tech points right?
they give love
They give medals 
I consulted a Vampire™ expert in AKCS. Over 87s, we expect 300 (!!!) of healing.

Does anybody know how to fix? This keeps happening to my AL randomly
Just restart the game
it's been happening since that 12gb update
No fix yet?
try asking in #tech-support
Ty
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
No
she isnt really
helena meta is like wayyyyyy worse
i wasted my meta resourses on her
But I don't see how these 2 compete in any way
normal helenas buff is the best buff in the game but its only 60% chance
helena is rng
its better than a coin toss
helena meta meanwhile doesnt really have anything notable
or you can forgo helenas and just run other buffers
touch some grass
r u the guy in room 1
who? ofc no
oh,maybe i forgot

is agir z52 and helena a good vanguard fleet
sure
Helena in the middle
ok?
im getting desperate im not gonna get zwei in time
#al-general is that way
OH SHIT
Just do three pulls daily
mbmb wrong chznnel
yo fellas
which 3 bbs should be on the bb fleet of opsi?
alsace,lion,biszwei
if no biszwei?
soyuz
ok what about 3 cv for a cv fleet in opsi?
correct answer would be to pull for biszwei right now 
what armor boss
Med/Heavy
med: soyuz,nakhimov, fritz
heavy: implac,amagi cv, shinano
light : lion soyuz nakhimov
med : lion soyuz nakhimov
heavy : lion soyuz nakhimov
Is there an list what techs box open ?
ijn dethroned? 
Ender said there was some CN comp better than IJN
seems like omni boss fleet is real
same with me but 4 bismarck
in showdowns at least but opsi is easy so just put the lion and russions
Just open all of it
Why are there two BB in the CV fleet
Ty yall
bc this game is dead, lion killed it
impostors
is my main fleet good with this one? i have alsace musashi and bismarck zwei
its still a cv fleet trust 
For OpSi? Yeah
Outside of OpSi? Your mileage may vary
for event and bosses
if u use that fleet in kawa meta you will die
events are fine cuz they're easy mode
but what specifically do you mean by bosses?
meta
you won't die, but it's not gonna perform that well
my current fleet is alsace musashi new jersey mogador sandy and z52
for current meta anyway
you will very much die with that vanguard
is it good?
ok you will die
so should i get hindenburg instead of agir
Well 4 strike IJN has been dethroned by HMS yes

Lion Soy Nakhi still wins tho
What was that CN comp? how does it work?
4 strike and ijn in the same sentence is
HMS 
do you have eldridge retro?
4 strike IJN only works if oathed
whats 4 strike hms
what
that would be worse lmao
Lion Impla Centaur
i missed the evnt
Wins against non oathed IJN 4 strike
do you have napoli?
what the fuck?
Always 4 strike
no but i can develope her
Similar performance lol
do you have anchorage fully developed?
Centaur 
oh well, 4 strike in ops is like pleb levels
no
What
ok you will die in kawakaze meta
A good 4 strike IJN is impossible without oath iirc
Thats the only reason 4 strike HMS wins
saiun gaming
i killed her in 3-4 tries wit my current fleet
If you want to make non oath work
whats the setup for 4 strke oathed
ill see if i can get 4 off
keep using what works for you
so what ship in shipyard should i get
anchorage
im developing agir bro
Anchorage has her uses too
then develop agir
Bearcat for slot 1 for all nano and amagi
The rest shd be the same
Impla shdnt need bearcat
namely not being heavy armor and having that smoke skill
Yes this is Impla Nano Amagi
i do not have a second bearcat
oathed yes?
Yes
Why did you +13 it 
i didnt yet
i feel like i shouldnt
What is main gun base +1?
Instead of you fire once
You fire twice
is anchorage better than hindenburg
Ohh
better at tanking yes
As a tank yes
Hinden isn't a tank
She's a DPS
Does it proc aoa faster?
yes
AoA requirement account for that
so is anchorage more tanky than agir
Okok ty
Equal
sometimes
Anchorage and Agir are basically equal in most content
ohhh,but what about damage?
light?
@balmy skiff
Lion Soy Nakh for all now basically
Agir better in terms of team dmg due to armour break
Their damage is meh either way
They're tanks not DPS
better than 3 strike ijn in ops?
That I didn't test
i was looking for a tanker
Agir and Ancho are the best easy to access ones
but i also need a damage burst
does it really matter tho, for the dmg diff
i might just make that my only boss fleet
the cat, the lion and the leader of russia trumps in all armors?
what would even be the vg
ply traf z52?
Chinawall ofc

Yes
Should i enchace more ?
No
damn
Ty
how much la9's is it gonna cost me
should be manageable
That's 2 BB 1 CV
...

ew +13 la9
ima stick to ijn
yes babe?
Holeee gay
Nakhi can use 2 la9
based on previous years, la9 should probably stock in proto shop by cny next year right?
how much rld and oath?
p2w vs f2p
No oath
But ofc you don't use 2 la9 for heavy
1 la9 2 saiun can hit 4 strike w/beacon
wait a sec
will that fleet 1-2 strike
or does ijn have more damage potential
Nakhi?
vanguard for ALS BB Trio?
(Alsus-Lion-Soyuz)
Plymouth Trafalgar -
endew plz
but what if i do not own ply and traf is waiting for mlb?
if i oath bismark 2 not the original one. will i get the oath skin????
Tank Helena DPS I guess
z52,helena,hinden
yes, just check the original tab when you go over to her skin tab
Triple IJN will do better if freeze isn't needed
but what if no hind
Cope

my 3ijn 2 striked
2 striked what
who is a better tank between Z52 or Ägir
agir lol
the big battlecruiser vs the small destroyer
agir
i don't own that 😭🙏
i dont either since its a boss
yes nobody own harbiter
they aren't answering your question
Fleet 2 Main at middle can help fleet 1 in fight?
What
to answer this
what armor enemy you fighting?
i wanna own a personal hard arbiter
just run agir helena z52
probs heavy/med
z52 is the dps with also buffing utilities
We didn't test with harb tho
We tested with almost 0 buffers for a reason

Well just Kaza
who should i prio when i got one urin?
Z52,Traf,Unzen,UvH,Laff2 or Mog
None
Either you MLB or don't touch them at all
Save the bulins for something you can MLB
So this Lion impla centaur does better without buffers?
The whole point is that
A 4 strike comp of Lion Impla Centaur
Does better than a 4 strike comp of Impla Nano Amagi
👌
dang using centaur in 2025
is their 3 strike better than 3strike ijn?
i mean the 4 strike is better
what makes their 4th strike stronger
a 4th strike
f2p vs p2w
is it just the gear gimping on IJN part to achieve 4 strike
with oath?
but still worse?
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
so it's just HMS>IJN no oath 4 strikes
Correct
Which is a logic that applies to the large majority of players
The conclusion was never HMS > IJN for heavy
uhh is it fine if I order hind mog eldkai like mog hind eldkai, or should I have hind main tank
Eld...
eld main tank mog off? or hind off?
/ehp
List of vanguard ships by tankiness by mebot
Yeah she is
Unzen is the one that matches port
Michita says hi
in the one situation that uses whichita meta, doesnt she want offtank
support barrage isn't active yet right
To lower her HP to proc her stronger skill yes
no
good
What's the gears for impla and centaur?
depends on the fleet comp and boss to fight against
You can run double La-9 even but prolly need saiun w/beacon for centaur
(obviously it's the second load out for impla)
My rld isn't max
So you might be able to remove bearcat for sth better
👍
mog OFF ❤️
is kaga aight?
She got a good ol S tier on avi
🚮
Kaga in 2025 💔🥀
Stat hexagons mean jack shit
kaga's entire existence is for +1 AVI
i mean 2025 since Lion came out a lot of unexpected happened
aight, i wont use her, but i also wont retire her ofc
dont retire her
you will use her, eventually
bro will need to hit the mines like i did
i might aswell use her for commissions ig
Yep
you guys dont use auto select? wtf
First we mine then we craft lets mine foxes
got the queen of royal navy herself aswell
How does she perform?
Not much good
i got so many bulins that im forced to lb ships, idk if i wanna retire them
120 em before you retire for the tech points
Is your dock that full?
the elite and sr ones
like 140/160
That's fine for now
you used the gems on what? skins?
i got like +40 bulins in total
Couldn't be me
uhhh, i might not aswell say it
not on skins though
Get more dock space with gems and guild tech
you still didnt spend on either dorm or docks?
Better question do you have gems left
i did expand dorm
468
If yes, get 3rd dorm slot then 2nd floor and the rest for dock space
Bro's a whaler then
just whale all the dorm slots
You a whale
got the 3rd slot
Good
100 gems left
What world are you at rn
chapter?
Yea
8-2
Did you 3 star all the previous chapters?
yeah
Just keep playing and use gems for dorm 2nd floor and dock space
Guild tech also gives couple dock space
how much is 2nd floor?
500gems
where do i find guild tech?
Are you in a guild?
Is that ur bullin from event or did you buy it
Alright, don't buy ur bullins unless you can immediately use it otherwise it just clogs dock
Hello
How can i build two fleets with this dock? I'm lvl 60 and currently on chapter 7.
I'm using these two fleets
jeez ur so lucky with musashi and nj
how many UR bulin do you have/can you buy?
You dont
you are currently not in a position to be spreading your resources among 12 ships right now
Is it worth to +11 this thing
no
it's either +13 or bust
and that isnt a high priority to +13, especially since its exclusively locked to BB/BC
alr thx
Ig I focus on replacing all my fighters with Flapjacks now
pvp deez nuts
bet
Ayo
double line all the time unless you really need more AA then circular
And why double line?
double line give eva %
higher EVA more valueable than higher FP
EVA means…?
eva buff means more survivability
evangelion evasion
Evasion
What means Sub support or attack mode…? I can attack with them in both modes
single line isnt bad if your fleet doesnt die
also torp meme
So always singe line but when you have problems with dying then double and if you have problems with AA then circular. Nice, thank you all!
hmm
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
is roon augment a must?
if you're using her just make it
aight
Chat which one is better 1 or 2 (medium armor edition)
Also I am considering switching black shells for fire control radars/admiralty fire control table
Yes or big no?
right side is better
yes use fcr
So Lion gets the Raff gun?
yea
Alr
i don't have ur bulin and i don't know where to buy it
go to shop>supply>monthly>protocore, see how many specialized core you have
you can get a free UR Bulin from current event milestone too
i have 7000
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
portland helena javelin
you don't need 2nd fleet for now
should i pull on event banner?
yes, use the free ticket, 3 times a day until last day of event
?
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.
so...is watasumi research any useful in meta shodown or just nah and standard aux?
Is it wise to sacrifice event currency to do 12-4 so I can gather coin faster?
I'm at 150 pulls
If you won't be able to make it to 200 pulls otherwise then yes.
Just make sure to at least grab the UR bulin from milestones
If I am only up to world 10 which is the best place to farm coins there or the event stages?
for the event you can just do the x3 d hard and sp stage, you should be close to the 35k target by the last day
ht6 = d3 for this event
is regensburg better than someone in my 2 fleets?
(Boss fleet, mob fleet)
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.
wdym its already full retrofit
I thought she had a little crown for her retrofit skin.
is Eldridge still obtainable
Yes but her retrofit item is event limited. Should rerun in the next few months.
if so please some advanced help xd
Make a thread and post your dock, sorted by main fleet/vanguard. We don't know what options you have.
i already have thread and i asked in that, the thread is already active for like 2 months maybe but yeah whatever
no
Well then follow the advice from that.
When can I see what the next event is?
It's not announced yet.
Probably in 2-3 weeks it will start. Announced the week or so before.
We know who’s in it?
A few of the ships. #game-news
I’m just waiting for Fritz rumey if she ever comes back
1.5 years for that.
Or more. Forget when she ran, but UR reruns are ~2 years out from initial.
Just be patient 😭✌🏻
New ships are constantly released. By the time she reruns there will probably be another ship that can substitute for her/is stronger.
No
Alr then
Is she a main fleet or vanguard fleet?
sir, fritz is a CV
CV
With two plane slots and an AA gun like all CVls.
but she has AA gun yea just like that one from the EU (forgot the name)
shes classed as a CV in the game
I just realised I’m 400 off till I can get Agir
Not my problem game devs decided to call her a CV when she has all the mounts of a CVL
CVL can't equip CA gun
Saratoga.
what
saratoga isn't even a CVL what are you saying
I thought she was a cvl too guess not.
nor can she equip CA gun
oh CL* not CA lol
Why does regenburg barely have hp
doesnt need to clear all right?
Her Hp is fine
is there somewhere mentioning how much aa is suitable for a certain map?
not exactly, but more is good
alr
some map demands higher AA some map can bruteforce without AA, so there's no fixed ones really
It feels so low
so? not like just looking at HP matters
oh
isnt acv for carriers
More air space control = more enemy planes = more AA is better too.
more acv = more enemy planes 
She loses all her hp before my other characters even get to half
can you show your fleet?
Is she significantly below level of the others? Ships take/deal 2% more/less damage per level they are under the enemy. Up to 50% debuff/buff.
For example, you need 2310 acv for Air Supremacy in w10-1. You need double that, 4630, in 13-1. We generally say W13 is the first plane heavy world. So double the AA compared to W10 would be wanted too.
She’s level 60 but only 6 levels lower than the second lowest level ship I have
she doesn't equip CA gun, that's skill barrage
Show fleet. Only other thing I can think of is you have her in the tank position which takes the most bullets.
@rapid summit can you show your fleet?
oh cuz my fleet currently have 2k aa
what if he actually didnt bring that hydraulic steering gear
Ok I’m new to the game so it might look bad
Can I send it in here?
yes
Dude... they're not gonna critcize you for being a low level or anything
some will
but not me
We will however point out flaws in the fleet comp/other issues
the lb
- Yes she's in tank position which takes the most hits.
- Yes she's underleveled compared to the others.
- You need to mlb your ships.
- Move hood to Flag position.
avoid using too many gold ships early on
Drag Eugen to the other side of vanguard
no, kick off eugen altogether
Does the guy have any other tankers is the question
let otto tank, remove the other two, use elite ships instead. helena and your starter DD are good
Alr
Wait a CL can tank?
Otto is a DD
Any ship with high ehp can.

DDs have lower HP but higher evasion so their hp is worth "more".
hull doesn't determine their role
It depends on the ship.
although CBs are tanks alright
So I was wrong about Nimi 
Well Nimi isn't a tank.
lb0 regensburg main tank is not the sauce
Ok nvm 💔
She is a bit beefier than average for DDs but not a tank by any means. Not even an offtank really.
but who got the sauce?
amagi-chan
ayo
id probably do something like a Portland retrofit main tank or smth
The only elite ships I got is taihou chan deutschland and Javelin
Agir-chan is good if you've got her.

Portland not really important anymore without old newbie missions.
still a cheap, easily obtainable main tank
Yeah but Agir chan was free not tooo long ago
idk what you zoomers are using these days
I'm currently struggling on getting enough EU points to start developing Anchorage
p2w using anchorage 
I currently have all the prints to dev30 her but not her
HMS fleet for almost everything
Also thank you for telling/teaching me about researching PR4
(gonna have a free STAAG and a free Hazen soon)
Faction fleets are like small rural schools sports teams vs big city sports teams that draw from the entire state.
You are just limiting your options.
My mob fleet is somehow stronger than my boss fleet
That's an accurate analogy lol
Scylla's AoA is scary and cracked
i thought that was anchorage then i realize it's the even more autistic version
smol
autistic is crazy
like smolmagi
It's the insert hydraulic press
yo what same situation as me well i didnt meant to develop her
Do we know if the upcoming event is a ur event or if it’s just one of those sr events
Not a UR event
Next new UR likely wont be until September
Also we wouldve had a livestream yesturday if next event really was a UR event, along with massive craptons of hype
Do u need oathed fritz for 4strike kawakaze meta
She'll get her 4th strike out with like 2 seconds left on the clock, just long enough for her planes to fire rockets.
Which ship is most worth upgrading? Vanguard or Kronshtadt? Or maybe something else?
Implacable and Yorktown
But I don't have enough hvar for Yorktown 2
That's fine
I only have 1 hvar and 1 skyrider
Hvar are in gearlab now right?
No
No
Yorktown 2 event hasnt even been archived yet
I think it's only up to Vanguard
Do we know yet whether admirality table will be in core shop/if it is limited in number to buy?
considering how weak yorky slot 1 is, doesnt matter
But yt 2 specialist light armor right?
No idea so far
Yes but the way slots works she is also decent in medium
It is just that fritz and nakhimov are better
also why is your implacable not maxed yet
But i want use nakimov, soyuz, and rummey for medium
Idk i forgot about her
Im just curious but what happens when your ship reach 0 affinity
Yeah that is why I mentioned that
On paper and in practice alone her medium dmg is good
But medium is already dominated with the mixed soviet fleet
And now potentially lion as well if u go mixed
you dont get stat buffs
I I was too focused on upgrading the new ship
Is unzen good for cross fleet barage?
Implacable and wait and maybe unzen?
I don't see any point in upgrading yorkii with so few hvars. Just use BBs for light
Yeah i use bb for light
Kear yorkii even kear needs a hvar or la9
Vangaurd have limited options
I use unzen shima and kron
I dont think what we have had since then is any better than those 3 options
This is assuming u want to low cost
Otherwise depends what u want to do
Cuz for opsi x fleet for example guam might be better to kill suicide boats
For now this is my fleet until maybe when nakimov is finished
1.heavy
2.mesium
3.light
4.mob
whats the point of kearsage if you dont run her with yorky 
anyone know when guam will get the rerun
guys for the biszwei event should grind one stage again and again if the next one is too hard or try to take on that stage?
i am grinding the hard mode for extra efficiency
I think after unzen
not to mention how much of a mess fleet 3 is
If you can't clear HT6 do HT4
If you can't do that, HT2
Why? Cos one less battle makes it more worth the oil
Probably january-26
Just manual it
Use ships with high hp in the front because evasion is nerfed entirely. Play on manual to avoid the bullets. Use strong backline units, not healers.
Also make sure u do the easy stages once a day for the x5 bonus
Use a 1:1 fleet
Honestly that should be enough to get most of the stuff in shop
But if h havent unlocked ch12 yet then stay in event oil cap hard maps and farm those after the one time bonuses
just run bismarck in fleet 2, Lion BismarckZwei Alsace
drop soyuz to fleet 2 to run a soviet comp
u-556 meta is guaranteed to drop on the first ht6 clear?
no
If you got her, congrats
Map drop ships are random chance, like normal campaign maps. No one knows the rates but it's low, probably around 1-3%.
What UR should I upgrade next, Trafalgar, Vanguard or Bismarck Zwei
when approximately will be the next new UR event
end of august
2nd half of september iirc
JP anni in sep if previous years are any indication
Cant be overlapped with anni?
~~UR retro
~~
Sunshine, I don't think we ever got gacha URs with EN anni
🙏
they said UR and i got my hopes high for retro XD
why is fleet 3 a mess ?
Elizabeth retro
am lvl 68 and i havent done 5-1 😭
Cause Fritz with no support,using ulrich when they have ships like Lion , Hindenburg 
but hey thanks
maybe they synced fritz to bismarck
i mean it can probably be better but those look like fleets that can do harbiters so it doesnt rly matter
so? rocket hitrate is never going to be reliable with bismarck's blackhole
why not
especially when its a moving boss, and non stop
but bismarck is the best freezer for light arbi

blackhole not only can freeze if timed but she also pulls jelly fish and temp together so u can hit both at the same time
his lion is 125 already why not swap with ulrich
good question but why are u asking us
good question i should ask him instead
calling that thing a freeze is a whole lot of cope
you're the one doing the coping Grey
did u rly forget algm ? its the same principle with temp and jelly fish rly
Is this the right gear?
those AA auxes are useless, run toolbox and hp
Why even use a non mlb UR?
everything except the gun and aug are not ideal or bad
but the biggest issue is her being lb0 so either u can afford to mlb her or just bench her and give the gear to some1 ull use
I haven't MLB her yet
Can you show me your Trafalgar gear?
i mean u dont have to copy it 1:1
just change the auxs to hp and torps to quad mags
I'm not have bullin MK2 Soo yeah i Can't MLB her
Ok
no mlb = no use
or accept ure lvling a deadweight
sextuple is fine, just change torp and auxes
Roger that
i can only mlb 1 ur ship who should i mlb first,leon or trafalgar
okay thankyou
Who should I give ur bulins when I get some, like who to mlb next
all ur URs ? would mlb zwei
I was finding who to prioritize mlb, so ig zwei
@hollow gust like this?
if u have maxed URs its important to know aswell for prio
Damn rich pro max
does the normal T-stages in the event give first time clear rewards?
No Lion = poverty
They give 5x points for first clear every day
Raff vs Z52 vs Rumey who should I mlb after Zwei?
how good is z52?
extremely
are you doing those daily? i did all hard stages and am wondering if i should bother doing it
I am doing them daily
Oh should I js show the ones not maxed?
no if those are all then its fine, i thought u had maxed ones filtered out
I filtered
So it's less confusing ig
So?
Z52 prob
depends on what your UR lineup is
Other URs I got non mlb are UvH, Kron, Shima and Mog (5 stars Mog)
i mean all URs
how do i get the ordanance UR
play opsi
Buy them in OpSi St Petersburg
ive only seen it in shop but i was broke then
you get one per month from the opsi shop
ohhhh PER MONTH?
isnt the reset every 3 days
only before you clear chapter 4
Ah wait there is also Trafalgar Law
(First I am finishing Zwei tho)
i'd say finish z52 first (after zwei)
I wish I was rich but im missing a bunch of UR ships
whats shot requirement?
how many times the guns shoot
oh, it activates all out assult every 6 attacks instead of 15?
Did you retire some UR?
after every 6th salvo from the main gun yes
No, i js lwk play a lot for some days then forget about the game so I miss events with ur ships
Ohh me too
Play this event and get zwei
what does this skill do? i have an aneurism reading it.
I got 2 copies by now so basically lb1
it's pretyy straightforward, just another AoA
Ship fires 15 time, launches Attack
That's why I been at 12-2 for basically a bit less than 2 years
Same
thats the "barrage"?
I see i see
How much dockspace should I buy
View the preview in the limit break screen
how does that screen help me understand what the barrage is that everyone keeps talking about?
Wait lemme see about 3rd slot, 2nd floor I don't think so
you are previewing the All out Assault Barrage, sigh
Before I missed the Fritz Rumey banner and Z52 Because I don't have time to get them both
No?
it says all out assault
check the name of this skill real quick
yes, the All out Assault is a Barrage
yeah please do
I wish I grinded for z52
I got 3rd slot, no floor 2

get the 2nd floor, then put the rest of your F2P gems into dock space
But I focused on other things, was pissed about shina and hinden skin getting removed
I spent my f2p gems on skins as well heh
I gotta buy gems tbf, I used my f2p in skins...
🤝
I did too, I couldn't get shina and hinden l2ds tho sadly
I am also concerned about that
anyway, I think this has gone on long enough, take unrelated discussion to #al-general
Alr alr
😔
Anw smt related, what is the most important part of opsi
everything
Ig I been leaving some core game part practically untouched, to how far I should be able to go w lv 100+ ships?
depends on the exact nature of your fleets but may as well just try and see how far you get, oil and morale aren;t consumed and for most nodes you can leave, heal in port and come back without losing progress
It seems that there is nothing more need to be changed for the shima gear.
Alr
shima 
Why not i called her Like that
That's a core part of my fleet lol

What should I buy w 1.7k protocores?
Depends
I mean this
Better just save it
if not, buy PR3 prints, clear the shop. buy until you have at least 2, need 50 prints
@wind hazel what do you think my gear for Trafalgar
0 stars out of 3
I'd switch that oxy torp aux for any hp aux
What is the best BB setup now?
0/3 star indeed
generalist is Lion Bismarck +1
Both of them?
Also I been wondering when do redeem codes come out?
although for bosses that dont move bismarck can be dropped
Just the oxy torp
Ok
Timing for Biz shot first right?
Codes are only for Blueray redeption
Not mehhhh
But when do they come out?
earlier this year
manjuu literally saves you time by dumping the rewards staright into mailbox, why would you care about code redeem???
Just curious
this right? it got added in some random patch i dont remember which one
Ye
+7 goldburn new tech 
💀 need to update the pic
Hey chat what's this about
/wiki research


other than the ships, that's all we know
