Oh alright
Wait these are free characters??
link deez 
well technically not free
they are easy to access though, but they are definitely not free
Link Deez nuts
I see I see
Good to know ty and 1 last thing, is this important?
no
Good to know I won't do it then
^has guide on how to beeline to unlock X ship
Ah ty Mori
ah shit wrong link lol
O, honestly any guide helps
click on fleet technology from top right tab
Alr bet
Just search in that site
What I do after getting all the pr3 gear prints from shop
There should be spreadsheet and in that you should find a proto cores priority
craft it when you have 25 prints
I'm progressing 
craft 2nd when you have another 25 prints. then ask again
So this is first one ig
Wait till you get ur ships ๐
I have some already 
Which ones
Good
Because I'm extremely confident in my luck
Alr, ill ask again on July then
I've been playing gacha games for over a decade, I have a heart of a gambler if I believe I can win then I'm going to win
Although I never played a gacha game that was genuinely f2p friendly like al
It feels weird...
I'm not saying you can't do what you want but rng...
Rng works in random ways
Watch me pull the new unit by dawn
Bet
Should I get zara or pola?
I bet my golden owl
there isnt any harm in pulling on zwei banner since the next UR is in september and by then you will have saved enough cubes 
neither
Oh ye and ofc W pfp guy
Yea I got two lions and zweis in 40 pulls
All my luck for this year is gone
Two zweis in 40 pulls here
Either coz tech points
The goat himself
๐ค
Easily my top 3 fav trainers oat
Who are the rest
I always think that, but then the game smh keeps giving me stuff
Pretty sure what you guys are discussing are out of topic for this channel
Leon and Iono
I WAS JUST ABT SAY SOMEONE GONNA CALL US OUT
Not true we're talking about AL
Check the channel name again
I think he refers to the point of the channel
Right right anyway that reminds me I have another question
What would that be
Is there like very specific equipment I need for very specific characters? Or should I not have to worry about that ATM.
Idk where you at rn
well you gear ships for content
Ooohhh for content 
That reminds me if im using the correct gear
I'll remember that for next year
4
Like unique equipment for just one ship, that exists but you shouldn't have to worry abt it yet
Ah I see I see
Is there a PvP mode?
I love PvP
Smt Al players struggle getting BUUURRRN (I'm sorry thank you for the information tho!!)
Ah eh either or cool ๐
I send DM cause the fun police was here
K
I mean you can read the channel rules in the pins for yourself
and treat this not as a threat but a warning, continue to break those rules and you can get yourself banned
Yea I know I'm sorry ๐ I get too passionate abt Pokemon
Is this gear okay?, I tried using gear guide but i end confused when i doubt i got most stuff, using this ships to get friedrich exp while I play event, currently about to start ht4, both bismarck and strasser at lv 77 and thuringen at lv 70
Ohhh
All gear and fleets, honestly i read the gear guide but it confuses me, first image mob fleet and second boss fleet
I'm sure the gear guide tells you purple helldiver is better than gold BTD
Go through your ships slot by slot and recheck the gear guide

how often do they make the skins purchasable for time limited skins? i like the new jersey one but don't have the character. so idk if i should buy it now or wait
Thanks
/coredata
It took me 140 pulls to get bismark zwei. Is it a good idea to go all the way to 200 or should I just save?
save
why people are frenzy pulling before max tickets
?
Guys, who should I focus on MLB first?
What should I do in this shop

Too much at once
/coredata
look 3 messages above that 
Couldn't be me
Lol
Any tips? Include Trafalgar
wait until end of event then ask again
no one knows unless u show all ur and what u want to do
bismarck zwei
Idk who to mlb between Zwei, Vanguard, Rafaello, Trafalgar and Mog
show all the urs and tell what u want to do
i doubt thats all you have mate
Got most of the available tickets the only ones left are the daily task ones so like 4. Got unlucky this time around 
Here all my UR's
ask again next wednesday really
137 was my first banner (guam)
rough start
what do u want to do now ?
I just asked earlier. 
can i auto the EX stage? I failed it a couple times with different comps already. the dragon obliterates my front line
k i will answer u since u seem like in a loss
if u want to oneshot the current meta do trafalgar
other than that u don't need to mlb anything
actually i didnt auto 
i had to strip her naked what does she need for opsi? thats the team
what frontline shud i use that doest die super fast cuz i tried a mix of dd and Cb/ca and just dd and just cb/ca all die the same
it is the same as the other 2 bb
so copy paste thisยด?what with main wpn
thanks
if u want to fight light use mk7 with lion gun and remove the raff gun on vanguard 
also what is that radar doing on vanguard
?
tripple 155 gun as alternative for dd gun,ok?
for CL gun, yes 155 is good
any 45fp CL gun works
staag for AA, fire control radar for aux
i tried manual to avoid the dragon still could only get bismarck to 70 no dragon
what are you using?
I use Bismarck Zwei, Alsace, Lion, Eldridge retro, Laffey 2, Jeanne d' Arc
lion/musashi/uni agir/eld/z52
yeah that was never gonna work
i dont have alsace laffey or jean
remove uni ๐
dragon melts me frfr
that should be fine then i assume
well don't you need youre Table for PvP
you can check #media-content and see how people dodge
captain fluffs often has banger ones
bismarck on offense is 
although what is this fleet 
and whats wrong with it
Jeanne and Zwei
what lol
commenting without context, smartest move
Jeanne increases the survivability of the vanguard and Zwei Pulls the enemy Zwei and Greyron together
~~why did I think it was pvp ~~
my dodging video for this event is unlisted, here's the link https://youtu.be/vMdwNg5WMII 
@grizzled wave
Crossbow or sword for Harbin in OpSi mobbing? Fleet is Luna / Unicorn / Perseus and Hindenburg (sword) / Ibuki (her augment) / Harbin (?)
Doesn't really matter cuz OpSi mob is pretty easy + purple augs are fairly negligible
fire i saw ur video in media content and i dont have alsace so i cant load up the ap gun that takes like 25 secs fast enough
rld tech difference I think
im also on my phone
i cant switch to auto for bb gun fast enough and then switch to manual for vg
where can i check recommended stuffs to get from the resupply shop in opsi thanks
@wind hazel encountering some issues for afct, is it absolutly mandatory ?
or can i swap it for the gold one?
there is none 
if u mean the port shop it is get everything avoid the healing boxes
the meta parts are optional and get enough tunings that is it
ight ty
if you dont have enough cos you're using it on someone else, yes
i would need to use it on pvp apparently, so i will have to find a way,
so hpfcr , if it works i will gladly swap to put me out of this gear misery
what
no you dont, see above
you don't need it for PvE either
decide where you priortiex are and assign accoridngly, or just swap gear, takes 2 minutes max
or whoever your strongest BB is
I do it every day because I use Lion in both my META fleet and PvP
it seems like i got it confused with the other
as well as my 2nd Table going between Alsace and Lion

rainbow table is better than hpfcr for sure
but then i ask you, why the hell do you need it for pvp
unless you're challenging for top rank or something
you dont need the absolute bis gear for pvp
@ocean trout
the recommendations in pvp assume you're gonna swap gear everywhere
which you're clearly not
dunno, i started this for pvp. anyelse why would i have suffered through opsi
no offence but, arent you the same person that said they were too lazy to regear for stuff, and just to give a "1 size fits all" recommendation
pushing W14 and W15 for one
put ur bis on ur pvp fleet and give the other ships the crumbs then
it wont make a diff even if he did
for opsi yes, i dont wanna regear correct.
quick context: i couldnt build eldrige fo pvp and i get mad when i get this loosing pvp screen.
didnt happen in years and i was at a roadblock thats why i began doing opsi.
after managing to beat opsi and now gearing pvp.
i wanna focus on pvp but now knowing future pvp units want opsi gear i need to continue doing it while focusing on pvp
I mean, you have 5 opponents to pick from for pvp, can swap girls before battle and nearly endless combinations of shipgirls to choose from.
Ideally you counterpick every team you face. One size fits all solutions are for defense fleets.
just don't do PvP then or pick easy oponents then
because high pvp ranking relies a lot more on proper team comp building and picking your enemies
than bis gear
and if your intention, as said is just to get easy wins
like, especially if you don't give a shit about Fleet tech, then PvP does nothing for you outside of the occasional cube from the merit shop
then just.... dont pick hard opponents

and considering you play 10 gachas a day, cutting PvP all together isn't the worst idea
i am in avora i always max my refreshes out, people here have all the sweat teams and it worked for 6 years to go bis like them and then i have an enjoyable time with pvp. the only difference now is, it required doing opsi
if i cut pvp i cut opsi,
well ever since its release PvP has always used some OpSi gear
example, the Tea Torps
it's very easy to max out at lower rear admiral
yes it was possible to do so all these years with barely any issue, now its not.
i dont think it's the gear
what can I say, be more active and stay on top of things or don't do it at all
it's Lion lol
besides this meta is pretty vilotile anyway
you're almost expected to have to do some resetting and shit
thats's the only major change PVP has gotten in since like... what, last august?
even with the best comps
good gear decreases ur chances of losing to fleets
also it mostly rng this mata season so have fun with the volatility of backliners and torpmemes
tldr, doing OpSi won't get you the ez win fleets you're looking for in PvP
so to come back to the question, just use the gold one instead of the UR one?
yes
ok i will go test hard arbiter to see if it still works
pfffft
good luck mate, good luck
though AFCT vs a regular fire control table won't make a difference if you say use the wrong guns on your BBs
enjoy game
it worked before and i already beat it for this season same for last
i mean im sure it did, given you pretty much ask us to craft the best comp for you every time
yeah and all I can say, is patience starts to wear thin
Do ships ever get nerfed?
I just looked up lions kit because I was curious, but it seems kinda dumb
not after they're released at least
like once when OpSi released but that's it
am i not allowed to anymore? u sound highly annoyed

my issue
no you are but allow me to be blunt
when people just want to be spoonfed the best stuff and don't try to learn
is more that you make no attempt to learn lol
slimane annoying ppl? how would that ever be possible
it feels like an utter waste of time and effort from those who are trying to give you advice espeically when you repeat that pattern of behavior
you can certainly continue as you are but if you don't change well over time more and more people are just gonna start ignoring you
i will never ignore anyone , not even you pookie
so , correct me if i am wrong, i should ask once, with no gear site for opsi which i can keep referencing back to, remember each of the hundreds of gear pieces their function and systems and then adapt if i encounter the issues, myself. here i thought i was learning. i got the opsi system explained and doing that now, only gear remained an issue.
if yaal were annoyed u could have told me sooner, i would have just stopped asking then.
im sorry i guess
cmon ppl how could you find such pleasant speech annoying
that's an exageration and you know it
there are not hundreds of gears to choose from
there's maybe 3 dozen good gears max that you would even have to consider and only a handful at max for each slot among the various hull types
theres no gear site for opsi
reference sams guide instead and choose by armor
disable fleet lock and check what armor the enemies have before u fight it
Accidentally typed on the wrong bar. I meant the search bar. My bad.

Sam's picture guide(the first link) is the place to start

dont worry, i wont ask gear questions anymore, again im sorry
i didnt think i was a nuisance except the refusal of swapping.
but i guess i didnt get the memo lol.
still thanks for all the help, appreciate it
why yall ragging on him for asking about gear, so much for no dumb questions 
ure free to ask questions and people are free to answer
it's not that the questions are dumb
it's that they're repeatedly asking the same thing, what's the best loadout for harbiter and I don't want to swap gears because I can't be bothered to do that
over and over
this gud right?
very good
I know azuma is good but is she the best pr2?
friederich is by far the best
azuma is arguably second best but is topped by non rainbows
only ship thats worth investing for pr2 generally is fdg, you can find sufficent tank from roon or pr4
hmmm. I already got azuma but ok
shes the close to last prio in DR coining
azumas only use is a tank for an opsi fleet if you dont already have 4 tanks for opsi. or i suppose to fulfill shinano 3 ijn skill if you dont have kazagumo
k
any team to use to auto ex for event?
3 BBs plus eldridge plus 2
i have a smol innocent question though
from where did u get the prints for these pr2 ships ?
maybe guild shop
guild shop
or No Focus
there might be but guild shop doesn't give u azuma prints
so either catchup or no focus
I desperately need this 
newer players dont need her that badly 
need her for what exactly
?
Ive been here since 2019 just playing casually 
opsi shit
yeah that doesn't make you not new though considering you still don't have 2 fleets worth of 120 ships yet even and you haven't made it past 12-3 yet
yeah being new is measured by progression not account date 
your account is old but in terms of actual progression you're definitly still newer
I already am tho the oil is whats stopping me
yeah your fleets will get absolutely destroyed as they are in 13-1
difficulty in the main campaign spikes hard after W12
that's not what i said
the "harder" content in AL is not something blindly copy and pasting on work usually. this applies to more than just opsi or gearing
hence why we make an effort to explain why you should use certain gear, so you can understand and hopefully apply it in future
the issue with your insistence with not switching gear is that it means you need to craft/farm far more gear than is necessary. and it results in you farming for things you can and probably want to avoid if you really are too busy with other gacha games, which is sth i relate to because i do juggle multiple games myself. for people like us, it's really one of 2 things, either you accept that you cant do X and make your life easier, or learn, so your questions wont be "what do i use" and become "should I use this"
i dont believe in spoonfeeding even tho that is what we do in this channel mostly. i believe in helping players actually learn so they can fly free from the nest and enjoy the game/waifus for what it is - gives a greater sense of accomplishment to you the player. there are no dumb questions yes, but there are certainly intelligent questions
tf endgame content is where the spoonfeeding begins, everyone just copies working meta comps
i genuinely think you participate in a different channel if that's your opinion
oh yeah? what level r u on?
He's on the endless hell level of 120ing all ships for tech like most of us who are regulars in gph.
considering the fact that basically everyone here is copying a iteration of Ricest Kawa comp, tf u mean?
...or we have different definitions of the term spoon feeding
I posted some of the ships I got in my thread a pan anyone tell me if theyโre any good and worth investing in? I have a bunch of gold builds saved
considering that it's sushi's comp most of us use and not Riciest's among other things
if anything his comps have mostly ended in duds for me
okay sorry you guys copy a iteration of Suchi's coomp
I wouldn't call it spoon feeding to copy a META fleet comp when you understand why it works/can set it up to be working just by being given the bare minimum details.
precisely
not to mention w15 
i copy endgame comps too, and if you are saying you make unique comps and dont copy others you are lying to yourself
goose, you do realise every question of "build me a fleet", or "what gear is best" are spoonfeeding too, right?
it isnt limited to end game at all
given that's some of the most difficult content in the game, the fact AA is a clusterfuck to actually optimize, and those threads are largely one and done deals for each person
"the "harder" content in AL is not something blindly copy and pasting on work usually. this applies to more than just opsi or gearing "
you are delusional if you say most perople arent copy pasting comps
who the the fuck said that wasn't the case
this was a exact copy from ender
that was what you had a quibble with?
we're not saying spoon feeding doesn't happen
ender is right many ppl fail w15 after they skip to the example fleets in guide
Whats the smallest size the game can be?
Kinda want to see how well my new tablet can run the game but I dont want to install 21 gigs since it doesnt have much space wihout a SIM card
it does but it's often a lot simpler and more helpful for people to then basically reverse engineer the fleets
Some day I will understand how the gear system here works
and most people tend to learn after that first spoon feeding
i think 13
might be 15 tho
the phrase ็
ง็ซ็ป่ comes to mind
look at a cat to draw a tiger
you are right, again i apologize.
i thought i was learning but the gear is very hard for me. all of them look the same(except aux gear) their names are very confusing and are slightly different in names bcs they add sth in front or not like this for example. i have a really hard time with it. but its fine. as you said i should go and deal with it or learn, i wont bother you all anymore. i wish gearing was as easy as hsr/wuwa nikke etc but alas its not and i will find away.
i wanna say thanks again for still helping me despite me beeing an annoying prick. appreciate it !
What's the fastest way to level a shipgirl? I got Bismark and it's taking foreevverrr
boost them to level 70-90 using XP packs and/or the dorm and level them up in W12
Whatโs the best way to farm up gold oil and cubes?
Ah, that's how I've been doing it
She's just sitting in the dorm and I don't have any exp packs anymore ๐ฆ
no? i find it ironic you have a problem with spoonfeeding when most people get spoonfed here
Anywhere W9+ (ideally W12) for gold
And you dont really farm oil or cubes in the same sense that you do for gold
farm event if there is one, 12-4 if there isnt. do comissions and your daily/weekly missions
Because we donโt want to spend ages figuring out things alone. We donโt all have Dark Souls level masochism
cubes just play the game, oil you just wait and do comissions, coins you grind oil capped maps, preferably 12-1 or 12-4
learning this game is barely close to being a dark souls player wdym ๐
Iโm currently at 10-1 so what would I farm then?
i dont see how that's ironic, i even said this lol
i dont believe in spoonfeeding even tho that is what we do in this channel mostly. i believe in helping players actually learn so they can fly free from the nest and enjoy the game/waifus for what it is - gives a greater sense of accomplishment to you the player. there are no dumb questions yes, but there are certainly intelligent questions
10-1 is good to farm
Same, I just gotta finish it
that's fine enough to farm if thats your highest stage
Grey you are misunderstanding the point entirely
The issue is not someone being spoon fed
it's someone being asked to be spoon fed repeatedly and seemingly making no effort to learn
whats wrong with that? thats what this channel is for? some people dont want to learn AL gearing
Iโd love to learn it I just have no clue where to even start. I also suffer from crippling overthinking
your overthinking is whats screwing you over here
pretty sure we've given you the equip guide link multiple times at this point
personally, it wears
it doesn't feel good when your advice and time spent helping and explaining goes to waste and the person asking learns nothing

and what I said at the start of this was a warning, if they keep that up people will just start ignoring him
and then they have no chance at learning anything
its just pointless to even talk about this
its ironic im the one to have to remind you guys that you don't have to answer questions that you don't want too. No need to be snarky to others just cause you are wear down
Thank you, by the way
we aren't, it was as I said a warning
Yeah no need to yorkbruh and hakuwhat people who are asking questions at every opportunity
thats why its ironic, ik that im a reaction warrior; at least i dont deny it

You have. Iโm slowly going through the thing.
ld9 jp server
yeah AL is decently light without all the L2Ds, even then pretty sure you can download specific l2d skins
and voice data
gearing is the hardest part of the game naturally it will be confusing and needs some effort to learn it at least on a basic level 
In opsi, does Sirius prefer being in anti-heavy IJN fleet with Guam/Kazagumo? Or in anti-light USS fleet with Anchorage/Aurora? I know both work fine, but curious which is preferred
wait no, sirius hit rate doesnt work on CVs and BBs 
Problem is Sirius isn't great against hermit the heavy, so IJN which fights heavy can't make full use of her
yeah
I just build a new fleet every month for the arbiter
Is she still worth using in USS fleet, even if her buff doesn't apply to Kearsarge? Over the IJN fleet, where she buffs all 3 carriers but she's not as good against heavy
One of the main part of her kit is her hit rate increase against DD CL CA , which is why against BB that's not used.
Still works on Eagle,so that's fine
Returnee. Fleet Recommendations for OPSI and world clearing.
Oh didnt see that part of her skill
that makes sense, thank you
i totally forgot about her restricton
if i got the same unit 2 time what should i do ?
Use one of them to lb the other.
okok thanks
Always limit break
if they're already MLB, scrap
there is no pratical justification to raising dupes
i just started the game yesterday so i couldn't find where the limit break was ๐
When is the earliest the Z52 skin might rerun? Next black friday maybe?
This Black Friday is a fair guess
Who is better, retrofit Z23 or Otto von Alvensleben?
otto
and who is better between New Jersey and Bismarck Zwei?
Bismarck by far in most content
thx
Is it listed anywhere what tech characters will give when they reach level 120?
Fleet tech tracker for Azur Lane
The wiki has them https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Fleet_Technology
Fleet Technology is a system that allows you to gather permanent stat bonuses for Max Limit Break ships. In addition, it is used to unlock requirements for Shipyard ships.
There are 2 main systems within this menu:
Direct Stat Bonuses - These are bonuses from individual ship investment, that target individual hull types.
Faction Technology Bonu...
It's okay for the time being if you don't have any better, switch bowgun to officer sword if you're not fighting heavy enemies
Alr thank you
the gear is fine, the ship isnt 
which are the large caliber guns?
280mm+
ty
Fumizuki mentioned
can i get New Jersey from current event banner?
no
hm thanks
UR banners only have the afformentioned UR in the pool
Which is frankly a good thing because imagine thinking you got the new UR and got like Shimakaze or somethin instead
does anyone have a guide or know any good sources on how to gear shipgirls
Is the gear fine?

This is a pretty general guide to equipment, however its not expected that you have a lot of this stuff if you dont have the resources
I cant go gear lab by I think, most good stuff prototypes, so yeah the good poverty stuff
yeah i only started farming opsi lately
Its fine i dont have good fear either haha itโs a slow process
true haha
How is the gear, should i do changes following guide or its okay
could be better but considering this is still transitional it's okay'
So uh can you guys give me what is a great iron blood flagship except for Ulrich and Bismarck zwei
Ulrich isn't a good flag ship , use your FdG
Any other else than fdg?
what's this for
At that point you're looking at regular Bismarck who is just 
Well Lรผtzow it is
again, what is this for
also you do know how the tier list works right
the flag ship tag is a condition for tiering, it means a ship must be used as the flagship to be performing at that tier
it is not an indication of if a ship is particularly good in that position or not
Oh? Well time to search again
again, what content is this for
Idk maybe for helps of people
i.e.why do you need iron blood flag ship?
seeing as I've leveled every main fleet in the game
Some of them have buffs when sorties as flagships (ex. New Jersey). Others it has to deal with their combat effectiveness (ex Hood barrage going off screen)

Of course thereโs also faction buffs but those arent important
NJ doesn't have a buff when she's sortied as the flagship
What should I get rid of
Well it's still Lรผtzow It is. I'm fucking close to pick fdg Seydlitz

Derfflinger isn't in the bloody game
Just give up I guess

the spread reduction (besides being mostly useless) is active regardless of her position
the flagship part 1) is a cross fleet effect and 2) only applies if the flagship is Eagle Union
Ah i see woopsie
what
ok at this point go back to #al-general
you also still havent exactly given us context for your question but I guess we'll never know
Do you want to know?
Yeah you will never know what exactly did I pick
not sure why you bothered to ask in the first place then but
i got a ryusei from research and im wondering if i should run it on enterprise or aquila in a campaign boss fleet, because enterprise has 2x dmg but aquila has 2x the planes and higher eff
huh? Aquila will not match enterprise in damage
and where did you get 2x the plane for aquila
Enterprise, Aquila should probably be in your mob fleet anyway
aquila has 4 while enterprise has 2
agir or ply better in general (even they arent same hull)
this is the fleet mori gave me for w13, i swapped independence and aquila initially but that ended with the mob fleet dying if i did 3 3 triangle nodes in a row so i just used this
Agir is pretty easily replacable if you have the alts, Plymouth less so
but still replacable
swap Saratoga and Aquila
oh rly
alts like anchorage?
Aquila has healing utility which is much more valueable in the mob fleet than boss
shame, was thinking to put 2 tanks with a dd in a fleet
why 2 tanks?
where would you need 2 tanks
guys other then money.
whats the fastest way to get 1080 gems
Why a DD?
years and years of freebies
which is alot slower than the ๐ณ
Wait 1 month
cope if you've exhuasted collections and 3 starring capaign stages
sighhh.
I supoose I can go without boing boing for a bit longer.
I waited for 5 years already
well a fleet consist of a ca dd and cl would be good enough then?
DO NOT think of spending free gems on skins
perish the thought
what
That is not how fleet building works
oh
use good ships and don't generalize capabilites by hull types
I need to sell skins
Like the comps for this META showdown use 3 DDs
o
not because 3 DDs are inherently strong, but because these 3 DDs are really good for this fight
Oof. Cleared HT6 by the skin of my teeth. Don't think I'll be able to auto through that
try getting it down to safe
I might do that grind tomorrow, for now all my shipgirls are on suicide watch
Super happy that it's an IB event, though. I needed those faction points
is there anywhere you can get okay gold aa guns other than gold boxes ive been trying to clear w13 with purple quad bofors because every time i opened a gold tech box i either got a ship maint crane or purples
the only 2 roombas i have are from research, and i have less roombas than backline aa guns like haz and staag
Generally frowned upon(because there's better first crafts) but lab is probably you're only other bet.
And research
ch 3 of opsi
Chapter 13 and not started opsi yet? Better get going
I kinda noped out of OPS at Chapter 2 when I realized it was going to make me form 2 more fleets
What should I use for event hard mode as cl, helena (retro) or regen
My main 2 fleets are already so scuffed
You can get through most(besides abyssal strongholds and harbiter) with 1 fleet.
you don't need 4 shit fleets you just need 2 good fleets you can ignore the 2 others till you have better ships to fill out those other 2 fleets
Fair enough.
If you were struggling so badly in HT6, then opsi is just not worth the pain and time right now
Get a fleet of level 115+ and start opsi
rip I guess, but I appreciate the confirmation
only 2 ships at 115 at the moment, so I have some grinding ahead of me
Guessing by the emoji reacton ig helena
What ur gear do i craft atp? planning to get a 457mm from proto shop once i have some more cores
conisder getting a 2nd Tenrai, maaybe a 3rd Wyvern
im getting there
it took me a week to find out how to go from ch2 to ch3 because i forgot the sp missions and my smooth brain never decided to look in "information"
A tenrai and a 76mm UR AA
i suppose i could get a tenrai, 76mm and a wyvern xD
in what order? not that rich on rays sadly
What DDs do you have?
based on the gearlab priority being shared here, should be the wyvern
A third wyvern isn't that useful
even if i already have 2 lmao
mm tenrai then
If you have like a DDG or harbin then the 100 kai would also be more useful than third wyvern
ddg?
guided missile destroyers, I think
two is the limit then talks to self
No, more than 2 is useful just better crafts after 2.
Missing a comma after No
Fixed
time to raise some ddg's ig. tenrai, 76mm and 100 kai it is, tyty
What tech categories should I prioritize farming?
Hit, RLD, FP, and AVI for Main Fleet ships
FP, Cruiser EVA (avoid DD EVA) for Vanguard ships
unless you mean faction technology which you wanna get them all to 7 because they all have beneficial stat bonuses 
*Lv 70
No, I meant stat tech. Reload on vanguard isn't a priority?
no
which do i go for first
bb ACC and cv RLD, then bb RLD and cv ACC
once you have a decent chunk of those done/run out of ships with that tech then you work on FP/AVI
ty
vanguard tech doesnt matter as much but since you have to run vanguard ships while grinding anyway, prioritize cl/ca EVA (not a lot of these) and cl/dd FP
vanguards have much higher base rld/acc compared to main fleet ships which is why the priority is flipped like that
+bulk of your damage also comes from main fleet
Vanguard RLD and Hit can matter in a min/max setting (still not recommendable in the end), you can argue for Vanguard TRP but even then that's a much lower priority 
does hard give gems?
Hello, from the URs that i have, which one do you guys recommend getting MLB, i have enough to buy 8 ur bullins, im still pulling on the current banner that is why i have not mlb zwei but that one i already have in mind, just wanted to see if from the other URs i can max or focus more on getting a PR (also have the mission reward that gives me new jersey)

first of all never pull for dupes, that's just bad value, secondly BZ โ Amagi CV imo 
do you still have build tickets?
yep
wait till you spend all your build tickets before mlb bis2, you may luck out on a dupe of her
yup, hopefully, i dont think so, already used all my luck, got her on the first 3 pulls
never say never, its up to rng and rng in AL is very forgiving compared to other gacha games
nah wth is this. what is the chance of NOT getting any bis2 within 200 pulls
i feel scammed
no people say AL is very "forgiving" and i feel salt rubbed on my wound ๐
Should I keep pulling on zwei banner, I got all ships fom banner and currently zwei lb1
this is why the cube income is 168 per month
that way you can easily recuperate your cubes after such a crippling loss like this should it happen
And we always say go for at least 400 specifically for this reason
if you got all the ships then never go deeper, unless you are like 10 pulls away from pity
i'd just expend 3 tickets per day
Ok I get it, I wont
I never get close to pity tbf
But yeah I wont keep pulling, cube saving time
famous last words (also *i'd hate to be that guy - yes its nice to know, but no one asked)
so i'ts not very "forgiving" is it
#al-general is that way
no you simply got extremley extremely unlucky
alr alr I scoot over to general 
yeah but what are the chance of that happening is my question
if i can answer that with certainty i'd be making a fortune off it trust me
chances of what happening
getting shit on by rng apparently
Having to hity pity on a UR banner
50/50 because there is only two outcomes. you get her or you dont 
Google says like 9.03% chance of failing a 1.2% chance 200 times
unrelated but Royal Fortune augment when
or well, something something devs but..
the chances of not getting a UR on 199 pulls is 9.05%
what do I do with extra UR. Can I just retire them?
use it to limit break
if they're already MLB, scrap
use to LB, if already MLB then scrap
use for limit break, if ship is mlb then scrap
ok, then scrap it is
i'd wait till beginning of next month to retire though
oh, it give cores ? alright
im at limit anyway
when zenker release?
to be announced
probably i gonna pull and buy the skin
Yes
well i gonna bought the skin and pull her
like zamn the Design is good
what does this mean? I thought it would count towards permanent UR exchange but apparently not
event banners excluding UR banner
assuming i retrofitted unicorn portland and z-23, would this fleet be enough to take on most of the campaign or is there some cheap important ship i could be missing (i know i could just see how far i can go but i just wanna save some time)
it should say non UR event banners
well you'd normally want to level up a 2nd fleet before reaching W12 anyway
not to mention that fleets stiill needs a heck of a lot of work seeing as not everything is MLB
That's most likely a typo
Every banner except UR events/reruns counts towards perma pity
a 2nd fleet for bossfights right
something like that yes
yep, but i'm definitively not max limitbreaking zwei any soon
shouldn't take more than a month if you're diligent
ig for now ima just max out all i can and work on that second fleet, thx btw
anyway, if you can't get at least 1 limit break on Zwei then drop her as well as any other ships you can't max limit break
Talking about limit breaking, as a new player what ships should I concentrate on limit breaking besides Helena and unicorn?
All the ones in fleet 1
All the ones in your main fleet and vanguard
so i don't see the 500 cog ex mission, not sure if i did it last time or its hiding somewhere
It's not bad to +13 a Flapjack right?
I thought it's the best general use fighter?
best campaign fighter
it is but you don't need to +13 it
Only for campaign
As far as aircraft go you'd want to put those plates where the extra damage matters
I currently dont have UR aircrafts 
And Flapjacks are basically the lowest damage aircraft that are relevant in late game content
news flash, all 4 converging torpedo are not UR gear
Yes
So I guess I only +10 Flapjacks next time
And speaking of which why aren't you using any on Implacable
Converging Torpedo Bombers
converging torps? 
Converging torps like ryusei or saiun
You should be using them instead of Breguets
Arent those gear labs again
Saiun is PR4
Saiun should be in gear lab as well
Also, the VIT2 Mode change from PR7
just use tenzan, it's from techbox
I've never gotten any from tech boxes
open more box
Didn't do opsi yet?
I already finished this month's OpSi 
I literally beaten normal Arbiter yesterday
No you bloody haven't
you dont finish opsi until end of the month

in fact you don't finish opsi
There's more strongholds coming up buddy
So I need to lock in again?
it's a daily grind

Just grind a secured zone daily or do daily missions
But since I beaten normal Arbiter, I should have a better QoL shop next month right?

idk, depends
How bout trying the hard one too? There's atleast some rewards for 25% damage dealt
I did try the hard one, only dealt 25% with 4 fleets
yes I used up 4 fleets just to barely miss the 25% mark
Worth it
worth wasting time and not getting rewwards ofc
I did get the 75% reward
25% there's some
ik it's not much but eh
I didn't see the barely miss
maybe you should read
Should i upgrade canteen, lecture hall and merchant to highest level as soon as i can
If it doesnโt impede you getting the ur on banner yes.
Which one should i upgrade first
Canteen for oil
Alr ty
should i bother doing harbin's fs5? is she used at all?>
does a UR ship that is not fully limit broken at lvl 100 save up surplus xp ?
good ship if you're missing a lot of the other top tier picks
You can take a UR to 125 w/o having MLB them 
yo i wanted to ask, im new to azur lane, im not sure what server to pick, i play in global, or does it not matter much
Play on the server with the language you're most Familiar with
think he's asking the avrora amagi server etc lol
ya that one
amagi is cool
iirc Little Enterprise is the newest, but tbh it doesnt matter which one you join - just make sure you bind your account
what does this mean
Hidden zone
does it contain good rewards
yes
it either does or can
Does off fleet passive work for all the fleets in operation siren? Like trafalgars buff to navy ships
How does one get the crystal fragments for the META shop again...
operation siren monthly shop
it does yes, crossfleet works among the 4 fleets you have
excess meta crystals of ships
opsi exchange shop
arbiter
Thanks
He's asking that trafalgar's buff i think it's just for the fleet she's in
maybe you should read the skill again
ok thx
Ty
Is there a guide on how to afk OpSi?
loop c1 for more ap
loop c3/ c5 for mats
inb4 they set do not stop when mysterious merchant appears
isnt it better to stop?
it is, but stopping isn't afk anymore

well you can still farm mats from cat nodes
you're just gonna get less stuff in the end if you skip akashi
yea imma stick to no skip
Ah, crap. Forgot about that cat
So, it will stop when Akashi on the map?
if you turn on the setting, yes
if u turn on yes
which is recommended, so it won't be fully afk
it will only stop looping when akashi sshows up
It's okay. It's been a LOOOONG time since I do OpSi. I want to get back in it now
but it will clear the map first then move u next to akashi
if rng hates you cat will not show up
๐
Aight, y'all. Gotta do OpSi. Thank u so much!
Is Biscmark Zwei an older ship? What are the chances that she'll join the standard banner after this rerun? I'm already 100 pulls in, still haven't got her and since I just redid equipments I'm super low on golds and oils, I'm definitely screwed if I keep pulling and suddenly a new UR appears 
She gets added in like 9-10 months after the rerun ig
Are meta ships good and which one should I get in the shop if they are?
Alright thanks, I'll just wait and save up my golds from now on for new URs
no need to start saving so early la
zwei will get archived in around a year or so after this rerun eneds, maybe earlier or longer depending on how the devs feel
when shes archived, she'll probably be added to the perma banner heavy and be accumulated thru pity points,
there will be lots more new and rerun URs in between the year
most of them are just collection , everynow and then u will get some useful meta ships , tho wont be use in main campain
Ohh ok
an example will be jintsuu meta will be used in pvp, u556 meta can be used in sub
+meta (morphosis) ships SSR (yellow) are decent, SR (purples) are collection tier
if i didnt remember wrong hunter meta was also used but i forgotwhere
Hay ,, do we need MAX Everything'id Ship to beat Kawakaze META ???? I cant even get her 1 HP bar Down from 100X
im on samheart's evaulations guide and i was wondering what 5-1 means im guess 5 means most effective or something? cuz ss is most red
no, but you need a good fleet
u need good ship combo and good gear to 1 hit ko
if not u need to keep on fighting her or call assist
Call Assist ?
i would not reccomend fighting her 200 times and using all your oil for it
there should be a request support button on the screen before the battle
I used this fleet ...and can't do any damage...
i can see why
The thing is I'm already broke af on both oils and golds and I'm still not done with redoing my ships equipments and Idk when new URs are coming.
So I think saving up golds & oils bit by bit while leveling up new equipments (+ do 1-2 pulls every day to get to the 200 pity) is the best course of action for now 
just call request support and hope someone does it for you
but yeah to one shot..
2 ad1?
mines 2-3 shot
5 is best, 1 is worst. Or negative 5 is worst
make a thread and people will come
like its stuck or smth
boomer 
Can i invite Guild members there..to do it for me ?
do the not guild option
it calls everywhere everyone in ur server + guild
does 1-1 say 50%
hielp
nope
you can select multiple options when doing call assist
its 100%
I think i need a Active guild for that...
but just let u know majority people wont care for meta fights
also when i play 1-1 at boss stage after i defeated all a different music plays and the stage is not done
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/dayonetips/guildshop
hmm, just restart game ig, idk if its a technical issue
ok
i were u go server dorms and ask there
tyty
i just redownloaded, is the new banner UR good to get?
for the grant donation research theres 1:30 and 2:30, whats the diff except cost
Is there a CoolDown when U leave a Guild ??
24 hours
1day
ow...damm.
grind the highest event stage you can rn
if low on oil, just wait a bit for it to regen
and do operation siren
ehh, saving is kinda meh just because we are in the middle of an event, and you can start an event with 0 oil and still be able to do and get almost everything
1 light pull a day for non UR event and non event weeks
mines amagi cause thats my server name urs should be little enter
oww..there ..ok...i already did my daily today..and time Resets in 1 Hour...right
which one is better
yes 1 h reset daily
ok..Tnx
the drop rate of 1:30 is somewhat better i think
wow 
wasnt it longer the better?
oh yea shortter the better
Whats the strongest BB in game atm?
depends wht ur using it for , but normally lion and zwei and musashi i think
UR banner pity at 158/200, where i get more cubes from? i just redownloaded man ๐ญ
I get yr pain dude
why so rough man, not even a single UR in my 300 cubes summon
Shinao is a CV u mean mushashi?
yes i got mixed up for a sec xD
Yeah that's just unlucky I don't want to break my f2p but I had to use my f2p gems for lion
then there are other good UR bb also but they require to have other ships , which is hard for some
gems?! damm, i think i'll just grind story missions if they give cubes
3 star hard
It's long and low key kinda boring
does it actually gives cubes? i haven't done single hard mode yet lol
also first 3 star of every level
No hard mode??? And yeah very few like each lvl is one heavy summon
26 i believe
No shot that early?
why only 1 week for this UR event man, i didn't even knew about this banner until i opened this game
Did u get lion at least?
yes
hard mode gives cubes on ifrst completion?
Idk
the current UR banner? nah not yet. pity 158/200...i am so done
wait sorry my bad hard 3 star gives u mats , bulion , oil not gem
No lion was the one before this
Main story
depening which part of the campain X1-X4 they give different
why musashi
i just redownloaded so def not lol, is lion good?
thats y i said maybe at the end
yea
She is rated at the top in a lot of players teir list
how good is lion? i am still broke in terms of cubes tho lol
The event pass
u cant get lion anymore
the highest damage bb in game
Nah bro focus on your zwei
if you can only lb one i think u lb lion
why man.... when i dont play this happens, and now i play, all this goodies are gone lol. need more AL YT channels for news lol
theres twitter
Some country ban Twitter ๐ญ
fair, but can't tell if its gonna be top tier or just any mid tiers
True that
URs are always gonna be top tier tho
gacha URs at least
laffy2
free n op
Some r better than others tho
some of them are definitely better than others but if ur just playing for fun it's not gonna matter that much
also i thought that UR banners is every 3-6 months, why lion then this current UR banner?
Tbh idk
when you try pushing chapter 14 and 15 then yes of course it'll matter but when you make that commitment the assumption is you'll be well equipped for it
cant even clear event how to play for fun
this is a rerun
or play for fun at the cost of more oil
level those ships up 
oh, i thought UR regardless of rerun/debut, is every 3-6 months
2 years
unless you're sitting on thousands of xp books it takes a while
now i gotta wait 2 years for lion?
Yeah...
because it takes just less than 500 to 1->100 a ship
oh well, maybe some new Opaf UR bb comes out before her rerun, i dont see that not happening
u can skip zwei she rerun at perma at 2 yerars
perma does not take 2 years
oh it doesnt?
Can I farm any stage on hard mode for core or is there a specific spot?
its usually 1 ish
well next year zwei will be perma
chapter 13 hard
and then farm whatever stage depending on what retrofit bps you need
Alr thanks
ur going to get suck at w11 w12 for a while xD
Iโm on chapter 5 stillโฆ
farm the highest state hardmode u can do
then u will be stuck at w9 for a while
Can someone check my math (and terminology) for the META showdown.
I get ~60 sync points per attempt when helping people out, so ~180 per day. It should only take me about a month to unlock Kawakaze META (5000 points) without even needing to spend META coordinates.
5000 / 180 = 27.78
yea
but why would you not do meta coords
if u spawn them when they die u get like 375or sth
375 
I haven't played much OPSI (mistake?). Recently I've mostly farmed the event.
then play opsi while your fleet is out of morale or oil
OPSI doesn't lower morale? ๐
nope
no
u can run opsi as long as u got ap
๐ฉ Now I know.
Although to be fair, I don't play enough to run completely out of oil.
also thats where most of ur rainbow mats are from
How many strongholds appear in a month?
You would have to play a lot to run out of oil
I assume the rarity of materials scales with how far into OPSI I am?
What's next ur rerun
Unzen i think
Nooooo ๐ญ I need more plane
what? it's not coming sooner
Also, is there some common way or advice about juggling different fleets and equipment?
use appropriate gear on the fleet you're currently using
unzen is the next rerun
2 every start of month and then 1 each weekly reset
@wind oxide
Is this thing good ?
then this month's have one more left huh
2 more
can be good, but most of the time not used
ohh
jintsuu meta fight uses it
and thats about it
Okk
Good, that Can be used for ships that im just levelling and leave it there cause lazy?
Oh dam
sounds like you don't need it
I have lots of ships and dont want to move eqs
sounds like a u problem then , u have option ur just cba
Ikr ๐ญ
do you craft 10 tenrai then?
up till mid late game u still have to move gear around cause u still wont have enough gear at that point yet
you need to move gear regardless, otherwise you gonna be using 2-3 UR copies
Yaaa paper gear
i have been playing 2 year stright , i still need to move gear around
3 ur dd guns is infact not enough
I just want to insta copy someone else build and be fine with it ๐ญ
Not sure what is the tenrai here
just so u know every ship has different build on differnt things they are doing
What do you do when you need to do that? Unequip unused ships and equip presets?
the plane that has the name tenrai
yes
Depot
Oh i only have 2 i guess
look at this low cost farmer 
Is there a way to unequip all ships?
no
no
go to each ship and unequip their gear
u can go each ship then preset and unequip all for that ship
Cool. Was hoping there was a faster way. But at least there's a way.
and even if there was you would probably not be able to store all your equipement in the depot due to space limitations
If i unequip them all it will take a While 
i fucked mself by accident xD, was going to add dock space and i spam clicked on deport space rip me
Oof
wasted like 1k on it
Im bad at managing my storage 
dang
tim to get more dock space
I've done this before ๐
I usually do that but when i do i hoard more i dont use
๐ Your dock is massive
I feel so much less bad about struggling with 240 dock space
I'm surprised the game goes up that high.
Idk. Maybe if I had kept playing after launch I'd have spent enough on waifus that it'd be similar
Are you sure he doesn't forget we have scrap system
saw some guy has a full page of 1 ship all 125 oath
I'd like to think that all the ships I retire just go to live in your dock
i do it for Blue and Purple copies
this game end game is just collecting wifus
Ah yees multiple costume galleries
I respect this
Maybe i should do that to i only have 1 125 uni that is abused used a lot on level uping other units
my leveling team never stops as u see currenly i have 4
all im missing is just oils
Me i have to Level100 them via books or dorms before i send them to 12-4
Im not even sure what is the safe mark
u can just lvl them to 70 and bring x6 random to 12-4(all equpi with decent gear ofcouse)
if no good gear so x5 random at lvl 70 with random gear + uni
for mob only
then all in on boss fight
assuming ur w12 is not on leathal
Cross skill
Bro I want to sleep but clear event at same times, where is my auto ๐ญ
Who are the best crossfleet Barragers right now?
/crossfleet
Musashi soyuz Alsace
I'm not sure about that U will have to see it urself
and none of those dupes are ever going to be useless
You can probably run Lv70 good ships. Otherwise, Lv95ish is more consistent.
