[tidal meteor]

Mbad, am stoopid

[vale spindle]

[viscid swift]

Z13: +1 HP and +1 FP
U552: +1 HIT and +2 Torp

FAQ

Different Event Format?

This event is a "Coalition Event". There are 5 stages:

• Main Road (Easy)
• Downtown (Normal)
• Railcar (Hard)
• Business District (SP)
• Police Headquarters (EX)
  *Stage names translated from JP and may/may not match EN

Each of these stages have 1 (Easy) to 5 (EX) bosses that you have to fight in a row. You can challenge a stage Solo (1 fleet for all bosses) or Coalition (1 fleet per boss). Coalition gives you more event-points per clear, so it is recommended to farm all stages in coalition.

Oil Cap?

Hard - 25 surface / 16 subs
SP - 40 surface / 16 subs
No clearing rewards are on any of the stages.

Best Places to Farm?

Spam the highest stage you can do (Railyard > Shopping District > Main Street) repeatedly in coalition for more rewards). SP is only more oil efficient than Hard if you can 1:1 everything.

Ideal farming thresholds are:

• 30k (good stopping point)
• 45k (fine stopping point)
• 55k (absolute last relevant rewards)

You shouldn't farm past 55k unless you are crazy. Go back to other permanent stages.

How To Get Event-limited Cosmetics?

Follow all necessary missions in-game for more information.

Should I pull for these ships?

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

• Waifu
• Collection
• Better than majority of permanent options at their hull type (only for gold/rainbow ships).

There are 2 more UR events scheduled for 2025, plus at least 1 collaboration event, plus any additional UR reruns, so plan accordingly.

[molten violet]

[proud geyser]

[south sequoia]

552 looks interesting

[stone sluice]

Coalition event is similar to the kindergarten event mechanics, right?

[soft raft]

yes

[plain saffron]

Mfw i posted then nobody realized

[whole crypt]

dafuq coalition again?

[vale spindle]

no its different, kindergarden event was weird cause all stages had 3 difficulties but were the exact same otherwise

[viscid swift]

Multiple fleets used for one run

[whole crypt]

the shitty frostfall format or the acad/hospital one

[viscid swift]

Frostfall

[whole crypt]

also how's 552 numbers on paper

surfacing mechanic is weird

[stark quiver]

frostfall format?

[whole crypt]

and we thought devs learned their lesson

[hollow gust]

Lmao we have to use 5 fleets again?

I honestly like it , means I can pull my dusty ships out

[south sequoia]

Another event I can skip farming

Don't doubt me I've skipped the kindergarten and frostfall events before

[forest palm]

what are the initially thoughts on 552?

[south sequoia]

Looks promising but her gimmick is kinda weird

Atleast they gave her a grace period of having damage reduc

[whole crypt]

it's great I have a free choice of 700+ ships

actually I might be cooked on CN

[stark quiver]

wut happen

[rapid grail]

the alt u mean?

[wind hazel]

new sub good?

[whole crypt]

yeh

might not have enough ships for sp

[rapid grail]

same (on the jp alt)
i might have to dust off the pvp gear on the urs

[whole crypt]

also if they have any missions for coalition mode

[wicked obsidian]

What does AVI and ACC mean ??

[south sequoia]

Aviation = AVI
Accuracy = ACC

[rapid grail]

aviation influences dmg dealt for CV/Ls
accuracy (also called as HIT, they're interchangeable) influences the chance of a dmg source hitting an enemy. the counter to EVA (evasion) stat.

[wicked obsidian]

owww..ok got it

Any Good ones here

I am trying to sort out my Cats..but each gives different Skills

[wind hazel]

depends on their talents, but you want to keep at least 2 gold cats regardless for better opsi rewards from cat nodes

you can trash those Beers though

[wicked obsidian]

I am thinking of using them as fooder..but which cat do I devolop..i cant tell..

[wind hazel]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide

[wicked obsidian]

i need to sort....my space is full

[wicked obsidian]

i am actually following it..but cat tell

Are the Gold Cats Skill always the same ??

[wind hazel]

no, all cats are different

click on the talent, and you see them having these trash talents as starting talents, then you know it's a trash cat

vs this good starting talent, this cat is worth to raise and to reroll further

perfect for BB cat, has double FP talent, and 3% dmg

[stark quiver]

how do you have 300 purps, i have 0
how to get more

[wind hazel]

sometimes you'll see cat like this one, which is okay to use temporarily while you try and get a better cat

but dont reroll for these kind of temporary cats

[wind hazel]

i neglected cat for 2 years

[stark quiver]

i neglected it for 4 years
maybe during the great "crusades" i scrapped all my good cats

[wicked obsidian]

Can you check ✅

[wind hazel]

trash

[wind hazel]

crap

[wind hazel]

mega crap

[wind hazel]

no

just keep 2 and raise them to lv30

[sharp comet]

only 2 gacha-only ships??

[whole crypt]

next time you're going to post a bunch of screenshots use a thread

[whole crypt]

small event

[wicked obsidian]

All...6 of my SR s are trash

[wind hazel]

keep this, keep the first oscar, keep bishamaru, trash the rest

[wicked obsidian]

[whole crypt]

welcome to cat hell

[sinful escarp]

the true end game, where we use all our coins to reroll max level cat skills just to get the same skills again

[wicked obsidian]

ok..and What skill do i get with telent point??

do skills show up on Random>>

[cobalt robin]

You get a point every 5 levels

[blissful hamlet]

Any of the new ship got good tech?

[rigid onyx]

I think the bb has hit

[stark quiver]

dd is fp
bb is hit

[blissful hamlet]

:god:

[sudden hull]

So I did clear that stage right before reset, however then another battle started without me being able to exit it to at least collect my rewards and it went past reset. What do I do now?

[nocturne horizon]

I want to know, are the recommended loadouts good, or are they situational?

[sinful escarp]

situational on late game

like when you are doing w13 up, opsi and other bosses

[nocturne horizon]

Is there a site or a place that can help with loadouts?

[wind hazel]

you can ask here

[stark quiver]

Nothing
You can’t claim it anymore and the tickets don’t work anymore

[nocturne horizon]

Ok, thanks will ask once maintenance is done

[wind hazel]

if you mean ingame loadout, they are all garbage

[nocturne horizon]

I see

[wind hazel]

99% of the players have poor understanding of the game and give random loadout, and gets upvoted randomly

[nocturne horizon]

So oone of the best places is on this discord

[sudden hull]

Dammit I hate those story battles so much sometimes, espcially when I dont know beforehand

I really dont mind the tickets being gone, but I cleared HT6 to get the hourglass 😭

[molten zinc]

or they just put 5 rainbow in to flex

[wind hazel]

double oxytorp 😭

[sleek spade]

Uh guys is it possible to get meta girls from the reruns?

I didn’t have enough pts for 556 meta mlb

I forgot to buy her parts in the shop. Would the shop still be there after maintenance?

[forest palm]

shop stays for like a week after main event

[stark quiver]

I too hate those story battles

[sleek spade]

Ah ok it should be fine then

[forest palm]

it's fine if you have the points, though iirc Meta Crystals for event ones get chucked in the Meta Shop iirc

[sleek spade]

Ah ok then Im safe

[eternal moth]

Any of the new ships standout?

[dusk maple]

Nope

[forest palm]

552 looked interesting

[nocturne horizon]

Any build recommendations for Musashi and Bismarck Zwei?

[wind hazel]

zwei is the same, except the main gun

can have other variations

if you are new then it's gonna be something like this

[nocturne horizon]

Whered you get this?

I have Musashis UR gun but nothing for Bismarck

[wind hazel]

it's just a fleet builder https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

triple 460 isnt usually used, you can keep that in your depot lol

[nocturne horizon]

Im just trying to get the flapjack plane, but its hard at the moment

[wind hazel]

where are you in campaign?

[boreal temple]

you won't be using this at all

[nocturne horizon]

The UR gun?

Why?

[wind hazel]

it's too slow

[boreal temple]

yamato too slow for practical use

[nocturne horizon]

I see, well thats a let down

[wind hazel]

so where are you in campaign? why you wanna make flapjack

[nocturne horizon]

Im at 7-1 and flapjack seems good on Shinano or August von Parsal

[wind hazel]

these are good enough up to w13

and august kinda suck in campaign

[deft kettle]

what boost/buff does alsace give?

[nocturne horizon]

Is August good in Op Si?

I see

How do you players consider some builds good?

[wind hazel]

that depends heavily on what you're fighting against

eg campaign build can be absolutely horrendous when used in opsi bossing, vice versa

[nocturne horizon]

So situational, because i have a fleet in opsi that is specifically for AA but lacks damage, and vice versa

[wind hazel]

AA is almost irrelevant in opsi most of the time

[slow fox]

morimisinformation

[nocturne horizon]

Except when your 10 lvls behind in a corrosion lvl 6 zone

[wind hazel]

i can assure you that is not AA issue...

[nocturne horizon]

It sure looked that way when Shinano dropped 50 % hp in one air strike

[reef flume]

The enemy takes 12% more damage for 10 seconds (who lasts for the whole game if there is another french ship) when she fires her barrage

[deft kettle]

nice

[nocturne horizon]

Can someone pls share a build code for Musashi that i can build to

[wind hazel]

we're under maintenance

[nocturne horizon]

Ah, though it could be sent via the site you put on

[wind hazel]

and i already gave you some template to follow above...

[nocturne horizon]

Yes, but auxiliaries are a grey area to me

[nocturne horizon]

Ok thanks but dont you need the UR axillary of the fire control table for the black shell?

[wind hazel]

you mean like this?

[nocturne horizon]

Yes

[wind hazel]

admiral table is upgrade to the gold radar, yes

[nocturne horizon]

And how do you work these out, experience?

[wind hazel]

i exclude it because it's event limited, and not everyone has it

[nocturne horizon]

I see thanks

[wind hazel]

otherwise it will be this

[nocturne horizon]

New goal

[wind hazel]

which is not feasible for any new or even midgame player

[nocturne horizon]

Still a goal

[wind hazel]

goal would be not using musashi anymore

[nocturne horizon]

How so?

[wind hazel]

powercrept happened. she's still good for w15, and sometimes heavy boss, but mostly replaced in most bossing fleets

[nocturne horizon]

By who?

[wind hazel]

still the top 3 in campaign BB, but outside of that people leaning towards using other BBs in bossing, like alsace lion zwei soyuz

[nocturne horizon]

Ah so for Opsi, better to use Zwei?

[wind hazel]

depends on what you have really

[nocturne horizon]

I have all those you just mentioned

[wind hazel]

lion alsace zwei

[nocturne horizon]

Yes

I dont recognize the last name

[sharp comet]

mori is my al gph goat

[wind hazel]

bismarck zwei

[nocturne horizon]

I think im in the same ship there

And i see people talking about W15 the hell is that?

[wind hazel]

it's just im active during these hour. you'll see more people with more knowledge on the game later hour

[sharp comet]

helped me beat w15 🐐

[nocturne horizon]

What is W15 though?

[sharp comet]

chapter 15

[nocturne horizon]

I see ok makes sense, is Amagi (CV) viable then?

[wind hazel]

yes, strongest tb CV

[nocturne horizon]

Ah so i made right choice pulli g for her, thank heavens

[ornate shore]

Guys i have the following

Lion, bismarck UR, NJ, Warspite UR, Musashi, UVH, which is good for my main fleet for OPSI, boss fleet highest damage output

[nocturne horizon]

Would you recommend UR gear for her

[wind hazel]

depends on what you're fighting against

[nocturne horizon]

Oh situational, this game is deeper than it appears in terms of gear selection

[nocturne horizon]

A bit of everything tbh

[wind hazel]

that's the funniest thing, even the plane can change when fighting against light, med or heavy boss

no fixed plane against heavy, for example. you need to match the timing with the other 2 ships as well

[nocturne horizon]

This is what ive scrounged up

[inner delta]

click on each plane

it has notes

[wind hazel]

for example, vs heavy boss, these could be all viable, depending on what the other 2 ships are running

[nocturne horizon]

My head hurts

[wind hazel]

for campaign at ch7 this will be more than enough

and this is assuming all your UR you mentioned are at max limit break. otherwise you dont use them lol

[nocturne horizon]

Yeah the limit break is still coming along albeit slow

So if i smash my head against the wall a bit more to understand this, it might cruble eventually?

[strange path]

Should i prioritize prototype Tenrai or georgia gun from the protocore shop? I dont have any UR cvs other than Shinano and she’s at 0lb. I have 3 Ur bbs (Lion, Zwei, Nj) but one of them is using a the purple 406. I have 1 champy gun from protocore

[wind hazel]

Gameplay help life h4x pro tip: How to get the correct ship and gear usage?
1- Create a thread in this channel
2- Post your entire dock and gear
3- State your issue, eg "I need help defeating chapter 11"
4- Wait for people to guide you through.

this is what i did when i started the game, easy peasy

just ask questions

[nocturne horizon]

How would you rate this?

[plain saffron]

What content

[nocturne horizon]

Opsi

[plain saffron]

What armor boss or mob

And who's the teammates

[nocturne horizon]

Let you know after maintenance

[nocturne horizon]

Mainly mob

[wind hazel]

looks cursed

[nocturne horizon]

Heh that, my friend is long, LONG term goal

Any tips on fleet building for Opsi?

[wind hazel]

one strong mob team with unicorn, bb fleet, cv fleet, 4th fleet can be whatever you want

[nocturne horizon]

And if i want her for Bossing

[wind hazel]

so you put her on bossing

on the CV fleet

[nocturne horizon]

And please help me, how'd that fleet look like, the ideal

[wind hazel]

something like this usually, can have different variation against different boss

you know i think all of these are too early for you. you're at ch7, you have a long way to go

[nocturne horizon]

This is what im capable of

[nocturne horizon]

Doesnt hurt to dream and work towards it

[fallow sedge]

What month is the next ur event

[dreamy blade]

That works assuming the URs are actually mlb

[nocturne horizon]

Getting there

[dreamy blade]

Then you're better off running other ships since it will be a long time before NJ shinano and shima will be mlb

[nocturne horizon]

Shinano is one staraway and NJ is 3 stars away

[dreamy blade]

And they are permanently available and so not recommend to use bulins on, shinano maybe you could

[dreamy blade]

Next new UR is probably for jp anni in September (?) I believe

[wind hazel]

should be september

[whole crypt]

you don't need to work towards lategame stuff from ch7, most of the heavy lifting won't happen before the ch12 grind loop starts

[nocturne horizon]

When does opsi story end?

[whole crypt]

the only resources you should be diligent about early in the game are gems and cubes

ch5, actual grinding is after ch4

[nocturne horizon]

Im stockpiling cubes but gems are like water in a desert

[whole crypt]

even then it's mostly a repeat loop every month

[whole crypt]

it's why we only advise their use for dock and dorm

[nocturne horizon]

And the story in Opsi, how long is it?

[worldly lion]

Is have 2 UR dds which I haven't bulin'ed yet. Is Shimakaze and Mogador worth the bulins?

[whole crypt]

it's short enough you can burn through in a day if your ships can manage

[worldly lion]

If I have to choose between the 2

[whole crypt]

mog

[nocturne horizon]

That short? WOW

Is it being expanded or do we not know?

[whole crypt]

it's like maybe half an hour a chapter, mostly it's just the annoying puzzle maps and no auto before finishing ch4

[nocturne horizon]

Yeah and the story stops in ch 3 and continues in opsi

[whole crypt]

there's no further expansion announced for OS for now, new game mode that was sneak previewed at CN anniv doesn't seem to have anything to do with it

I'm refering specifically to OS chapters, not campaign

[nocturne horizon]

Ive noticed that Prinz Eugen is quite durable early game, but she lacks damage by a considerable amount

[whole crypt]

yes it's why we don't recommend raising her in general unless you're just after KMS tech

[wind oxide]

What's the best sub fleet

[whole crypt]

flasher fishpack still, haven't checked 552 but don't think we're changing wolfpack very much

[wind oxide]

Can albacore be replaced with da vinci? will it do better?

[nocturne horizon]

Is prinz aldebert worth investing?

[wind oxide]

Not really

[nocturne horizon]

Oh, i lack vanguard units

[whole crypt]

albacore is a merit shop ship so that shouldn't be too hard

if you don't have the merits for her you probably don't need that sub fleet

[wind oxide]

Not the opportunity cost i meant how she performs in the fishpack fleet vs da vinci

[whole crypt]

adalbert is not bad but not top

maybe ask stig I don't have the numbers besides "probably worse"

[wind oxide]

ok thanks but who's stig

[nocturne horizon]

This worth it for opsi and general campaign use?

[whole crypt]

suchiguma

I think he the only regular here who has any real sub numbers

[wind oxide]

@sweet delta Is da vinci better in the fishpack fleet compared to albacore? Does she do better damage wise?

[whole crypt]

subs are pretty much only used for lategame supplemetary damage

[nocturne horizon]

Edward give me my robes back man

[whole crypt]

don't bother putting together a random sub fleet together for the sake of it

it's not really worth investing in outside of lategame

[nocturne horizon]

What is this fletsher pack fleet?

[wind oxide]

you did say probably worse and i think so too but i just need to confirm

[whole crypt]

flasher albacore archerfish

[nocturne horizon]

If i want to make any fleet i have to look at what im fighting and build around a single ship, correct?

[wind oxide]

applies to lion only ig lmao

[nocturne horizon]

So who do you actually make a fighting fleet, instead of my "throw strongest together" fleet

[wind oxide]

Dont ask me

[nocturne horizon]

@whole crypt Can you help? Pls?

[wind hazel]

you dont build around a single ship, you build around what you want to fight against

[whole crypt]

campaign generally wants a balanced composition, with some quirks depending on stage like AA, ASW, good suicide interception

[nocturne horizon]

Which is probably why my Ironblood fleet was tissue

[wind hazel]

faction fleet is garbage 99% of the time

[wind oxide]

Why even make faction fleet?

[nocturne horizon]

So those buffs for factions are useless

[nocturne horizon]

Saw buff for Ironblood ships

[wind hazel]

the buff isn't useless, but most of the time the ship is the problem

shinano has faction buff, and it's potent when activated
vs
bismarck has faction buff, but she's a shit ship that drags down the fleet's prowess a lot

[whole crypt]

OS mobbing is generally easy as long as you don't bog yourself down with too much fodder, especially with low levels, poor gear and low adapts

[nocturne horizon]

So that means different factions in fleets and that also means different faction buffing Meowficcers

[wind hazel]

we dont talk about meowfficer faction talent

[whole crypt]

OS/META bossing is kind of where you look at specialized fleets depending on armour or fight gimmicks

[nocturne horizon]

How so?

[wind hazel]

they aren't good

[whole crypt]

faction talents are mostly 🚮

[nocturne horizon]

Ok what is OS i know MEAT not OS

[wind hazel]

opsi

[whole crypt]

OpSi

[wind oxide]

Operation siren

[nocturne horizon]

I feel like an idiot

[whole crypt]

the only faction talent that's somewhat useful is if you roll IJN with IJN CVs

[wind oxide]

Also how decent are those new ships the BC and sub?

[nocturne horizon]

This is more of the game itself, is bluestacks good for Azur Lane or is Gameloop better?

[atomic abyss]

Mumu

[nocturne horizon]

Will look into that this afternoon then, thanks

[wet badge]

how zenker according to leaks

[whole crypt]

there's no leaks but there's a datamine if you want to check

I'm going to take a blind shot and say average SR BC

[narrow kiln]

Well...
Sort of...
In theory...
It sort of...
It should work with buffs...
And it's beautiful...
But I've only seen 1 game where faction buffs actually work.

[boreal temple]

insert obligatory faction fleet bad statement here

[rigid onyx]

usually games are either designed around factions, or they're a decent budget/off meta pick.

Al just has generous enough gacha that you can get every ship which increases the opportunity cost of using bad ships with good factions buffs

[plain saffron]

But kms fleet good

[verbal plinth]

been gone awhile is 1:1 farming a thing anymore 1 backlane and front?

[wind hazel]

usually for event

[south sequoia]

usually for events if you want to hard minmax your oil spending, but usually it is more worth your time levelling ships and doing 3:3

[steady rain]

when doing 1:1, is there a recommended ship class for vanguard and backline or just use whatever?

[tropic tusk]

the reason ur doing 1:1 is because u want to use as less oil as possible

[forest palm]

there also isn't much reason to do 1:1 these days

[tropic tusk]

so yes there are few ships people tent to use

[tropic tusk]

y not

[forest palm]

oil cap of course

[tropic tusk]

oil cap is like 24?

[forest palm]

probably

[tropic tusk]

i think u can even go 13

[sharp comet]

1:1 only worth for clearing event chapters first time

[forest palm]

the benefit of utilizing oil cap tend to outweigh 1:1 is the general gist

[tropic tusk]

i never said its was general

[rapid grail]

10 years maint?

[tropic tusk]

u do know its a 8h main right? its only been 5h

[forest palm]

8 hours for 3 ships, a shitty event, like 5 new outfits

[severe tinsel]

Is kms fleet rly bad?

[tropic tusk]

the point is theres nothing much to up on this update and yet its taking for ever

[wind hazel]

campaign kinda, opsi it's actually pretty good

[wind oxide]

Anything is good in opsi unless it comes to arbiter

[tropic tusk]

good as in?

[wind oxide]

farming, clearing?

[wind hazel]

i mean ironblood faction fleet can 1team harbiter, likely

[wind oxide]

Any level 115+ fleet can do that easily bruh

[wind hazel]

lol, no

[tropic tusk]

opsi is where u get ur rainbow mats mostly

[wind hazel]

opsi is easy, but it's not that easy

[tropic tusk]

[wind oxide]

I mean corr 1-6

[wind hazel]

TIL harbiter=corr 1-6

[forest palm]

[tropic tusk]

[forest palm]

weed is their tag

[wind oxide]

untill harbiter

[jovial jackal]

Well.. bisk2 and z52 are IB

[forest palm]

yes, but faction fleets will always suck compared to proper fleets

[little tree]

Faction fleets are the equivalent of shooting your self in the foot in a 10 mile race

[opaque galleon]

How good is zenker’s second skill?

[tropic tusk]

whos zenker

[opaque galleon]

New ship

[tropic tusk]

so u know its new , u do know people need time to test things out right? also its a gold ship so chances are its bad

[late flame]

#game-news message

[opaque galleon]

I mean it’s not like you can’t pre eval, and the ship doesn’t seem super complicated

[wind hazel]

if you dont know the answer just say you dont know or dont answer lol, it can be calculated with maths

[hollow gust]

wow she is a simple girl

[opaque galleon]

That’s pretty good

[wind oxide]

You have the calcs for the sub too?

[rapid grail]

because no one will answer otherwise

thx

[narrow kiln]

Can anybody wrote about faction fleet and faction fleet buffs as short as possible?

[wind hazel]

faction buff can be good but not necessary to build around it, that's all

[rapid grail]

Useless, bad compared to the top fleets.
Nuff said

[sharp socket]

dont bother with faction fleets

[tame jungle]

lose 30% damage to gain 5% damage

[wind oxide]

👍

[wind hazel]

if replacing, who gets the boot? 81?

[molten zinc]

for meme and laugh at endgame mostly since we got bored from using the same fleet over and over

[wind oxide]

Damn that's pretty good
I knew it ahahhaa

[viscid swift]

not a clue

[rapid grail]

Das Boot

[neon breach]

Quick question if I level up a ship to 120 then retire them do I lose fleet tech points?

[viscid swift]

no

not that I'd reccomend it but

[tropic tusk]

the guy must be f2p

[neon breach]

I see, as much as I want to keep all ships the dock space be getting full

[warm trail]

what's new?

[rapid grail]

no

try clearing out dupes, use bulins of all rarities on the botes you want to level up.

[neon breach]

Yeah hahaha still finishing school

[tropic tusk]

if ur f2p ur dock space should be roughly 300 if u spend them right

[tropic tusk]

at some point u will either quit or swipe

[forest palm]

me at 860 dock space

[warm trail]

did they give gem today?

[viscid swift]

no

[tropic tusk]

if update delays then will might possibly be

[warm trail]

ah

[neon breach]

Spent some gems on dock space a few times but that meant less gems for skins

[warm trail]

wait server not up yet?

[tropic tusk]

tho we talking about at least delys by 2hours or more

[forest palm]

in an hour

[warm trail]

en an awr

[narrow kiln]

...just I got question is how to make NP fleet then.

[molten zinc]

[viscid swift]

you use the best 6 NP ships you have for whatever you decide to tackle

[little tree]

Does maintenance end in 1 hour ?

[viscid swift]

but given the limited roster trying to come up with a decent fleet without having basically everyone from that faction is shall we say difficult

[forest palm]

the estimated time is in an hour, shit can go south an extend it

[tropic tusk]

delay pls

i want free gifts

[little tree]

~~ Abadon faction fleeting embrace real fleets~~

[late flame]

azur lane was the real faction all along

[neon breach]

Can't help but build faction fleets for combat exp grinding ngl

[tropic tusk]

ape together strong ~~ i mean faction togehter strong~~

[little tree]

You only ever need 3 in front or back never 6

[wind oxide]

When playable siren?

[tropic tusk]

i wish that also but dont think they will allow

cause if they playable who will we fight

who is the enemy

[late flame]

monkeys of course

[wind oxide]

I think I know who they will fight

[wind hazel]

they will fight John Azur Lane

[narrow kiln]

So, i said all, that look beautiful.
And to not use non MLB Tashkent.

[neon breach]

Makes sense...

[narrow kiln]

And...
What was enemy in Lion event?

[little tree]

You can invade people's world runs in w12 and sink them

[wind oxide]

Higher arbiters or something

[little tree]

[molten zinc]

some mimic

[acoustic granite]

Assuming one has all shopgirls, what would be the best fleets to make for OpSi?

[viscid swift]

honestley doesn't matter how good your fleets are in OpSi beyond a certain threshold

[late flame]

mob fleet : unicorn + any 5 <decent ships>
bb fleet
cv fleet
cross fleet

[forest palm]

also all the ships in the game won't help you if you have a gear skill issue

[acoustic granite]

Yeah, working on some URs, tbh

[narrow kiln]

And what if you have general skill issue?

[wind hazel]

then you die

[narrow kiln]

Its working

[little tree]

~~ most random fleet comps will work till w12 11~~

[narrow kiln]

How good idea to use airstrike against enemy airstrike?

[turbid marsh]

then you ask here duhhh to get skillz from these people XD

[cobalt rapids]

101 most likely ( amazing lifespan since aug )

[wind hazel]

almost crafted her aug

[tropic tusk]

isnt 101 now good cause of ehr aug?

[wind hazel]

yes but new sub is betterer

well, on paper

[narrow kiln]

Is U-552 go to be good Wolfpack member?

[wind hazel]

maybe

[tropic tusk]

poor 101 was about to her

[cobalt rapids]

suchiprevals say contender for top in bossing

[narrow kiln]

Better, than elite ones?

[cobalt rapids]

all gold wolves are better than elites subs

[wind hazel]

is new wolf gonna be better than fish though?

[tropic tusk]

81 and 96 will always be part of the wolf (for now)

[turbid marsh]

think cn said on paper its still a bit less,

[cobalt rapids]

no its not gonna be better than flasher homura amity

[wind hazel]

good cause sub affinity is cringe to raise

[cobalt rapids]

fax

[tropic tusk]

there a some event that are ment for sub affinity raise

[late flame]

i seldom bother to raise sub affinity during raids though

[tropic tusk]

those there u can loop x15

[cobalt rapids]

the one where u get more affinity per sortie ( if it wasnt bugged )

[severe tinsel]

Is the new kms sr cv gonna be goog? Its rare to see kms cv

[tame jungle]

wait for testing moment

[molten zinc]

wait what KMS CV? there're only BC, DD and SS this event

[cobalt rapids]

what sr cv kms?

[tame jungle]

graf zeppelin 2 (joke)

[late flame]

[severe tinsel]

Admiral smth

Isnt she cv?

[molten zinc]

no

[wind hazel]

no, BC

[molten zinc]

something something Nelson 2.0

[viscid swift]

she's a Battlecruiser

[severe tinsel]

Mb, i read it wrong

[viscid swift]

literally has guns in her rigging

[severe tinsel]

Why there is no good kms cv

[tame jungle]

as well as all of her drip marketing saying she's BC

[viscid swift]

Fritz Rumey

[sinful escarp]

you mistook the CV= character voice, as CV=carrier

[severe tinsel]

Lmao yes 😭

[hollow gust]

Fritz Strasser Avp

[tropic tusk]

may they be forgotten

[severe tinsel]

They good?

[cobalt rapids]

strasser

[tropic tusk]

fritz is being used in w15 for support fleet so yea

[cobalt rapids]

fritz is great in alot of places not only w15 support

[wind hazel]

sir, you're severely underselling fritz

[tropic tusk]

thats all i know about her

[severe tinsel]

Ok so frinz good, how abt other?

[hollow gust]

Shes basically like AVP with Aug

[cobalt rapids]

fritz is great
avp is ok and free

[cobalt rapids]

she cant even freeze for her own tbs but ok

[whole crypt]

but they're all free

[severe tinsel]

Fritz first skill, avout the pulling effect... Does it mean like zwei black hole?

[viscid swift]

yes

[severe tinsel]

Ok

[severe tinsel]

So she good paired with zwei?

[viscid swift]

I have used her with Zwei but not for that reason

[icy sphinx]

I have Fritz but I still haven't limit break her

I have various ships that I haven't limit break

Fritz, Lion, Trafalgar, Mussashi, Amagi CV, Fritz, Ulrich Von Ünten, Z-51, Shimakaze, Konsthrandat, Alsace, Raffaelo, the UR french DD and Vanguard

[split bramble]

hell fucking yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[knotty dome]

i have some limited commissions in my daily, is this a new thing?

[viscid swift]

yes

[wind oxide]

Bruh

[knotty dome]

thanks

[soft raft]

havent kept up with the datamine, anything interesting from it drop/ship wise or nah?

[viscid swift]

not really no

[soft raft]

not even decent fleet tech?

[wind hazel]

good tech

[viscid swift]

well, Zenker is hit and Z13 is FP

[soft raft]

Ic

[warped acorn]

hows this

[wind hazel]

not worth using

[soft raft]

yeesh do I take the purple cube research or the gold Halford face research

(I have already used my daily refresh)

[viscid swift]

I'd eat the cube research myself

[wind hazel]

other 3?

[soft raft]

2 purple collections and a purple comission

[viscid swift]

Es? those are good

[wind hazel]

like E 2hr?

[soft raft]

1 E 2hr, 1 E 6hr, and 1 T 6hr

[wind hazel]

take the e2hr

[viscid swift]

take the 2H E

[soft raft]

ight

[floral thunder]

Is U556 Meta good?

[keen owl]

Should i full fleet on the event

[soft raft]

Hard and SP have oil cap

[soft raft]

Pretty good in the mixed faction sub comps
doesnt really have a place in wolfpack since she isnt Iron Blood

[floral thunder]

What about U552 and any of the new Iron Blood ships?

Is there any that I should be building?

[verbal plinth]

So coalition is best? This is new for me

[soft raft]

you get bonus event pts for colaition runs yes
that's been the case since the first coalition event

[turbid shell]

U-552 and Admiral Zenker is limited or soon added to perma pool?

[verbal plinth]

How do you keep moral up for all those ships lol seems tough

[soft raft]

Limited
rerun in ~2 years and archived ~1 year after that as per usual with all non collab events

[wind oxide]

Am tripping or they interchanged battle map and story map?

[turbid basin]

Seriously? I need 3 fleets to handle the event now?

[narrow kiln]

How this thing works?

[narrow kiln]

*4 for SP

[wind hazel]

dont use the hull stated

[soft raft]

literally as it says
go to [X location] and clear it without using the specified Hulltypes

also needs to be in coalition mode

[wind hazel]

example, run CV CV CV CA CA CA, and you will complete the non DD, non BB, etc

[turbid basin]

oh that is just plain wonderful -_-, i just dont have enough built ships for that

[wind hazel]

run tempesta ships and complete in one go

[sleek spade]

Is U552 good sub? Should I UNLOAD my cubes for her?

[sweet delta]

run BBV AR IXm IXv AE AE and you will completeall missions in one go

[narrow kiln]

I dont have any...

[wind hazel]

i know

[sweet delta]

/tierlist you can see the first link but beating fishpack is doubtful

[narrow kiln]

How to make it, if you havent ships to make 3 working fleets?

[sleek spade]

I alr have strongest fishes tho. If she’s good for wolfpack then I want her but if she’s eh then I’ll stop rolling

[sweet delta]

then you split your ships between 3 fleets

[sleek spade]

Hmmm

[cobalt robin]

Are the event stages ranked or is it just a ex stage with ranking?

[sleek spade]

I alr spent 200 cubes maybe I should stop then

[narrow kiln]

This isnt gonna to work: they would die..

[wind oxide]

Hi I was gonna ask if leonardo in fish pack fleet instead of albacore is better?
like damage wise does she do better

[narrow kiln]

Is this is very bad thing?

[viscid swift]

bad

[silver lintel]

Whats zenker tech

[wind hazel]

coalition isn't newbie friendly. just do solo battle if you can't split for coalition

[cobalt robin]

😔

[viscid swift]

hit

[sleek spade]

Flasher and archerfish gives her big buffs tho

[celest shoal]

needing 3/4 fleets for a stage was definetely one of the choices the devs had

that SP won't be done

[undone yacht]

Worth pulling this banner?

[wind hazel]

well it's optional, kinda

but i understand the frustration, some newbies can finish SP in normal event, but won't be able to do so in these format

[normal cedar]

does 552 affect the current sub meta?

[sweet delta]

No

[normal cedar]

ok, thanks

[sweet delta]

If by meta you mean alba archer flasher

[normal cedar]

i mean does it affect wolfpack, and does it make wolfpack better than fish

[viscid swift]

no

[sweet delta]

Yes no

[hollow gust]

If you have a decent sub fleet already there is no point maxing out another

[ornate shore]

Guys, i found out we can get action points from normal attacks in any area, doesnt that mean we can infinitely farm action points? Or is there a rule or something?

I understand luck is a factor but i have been getting more action packs than im spending on the area

[sweet delta]

You can farm infinite AP from corrosion 1 with average luck if you have infinite time

[ornate shore]

Where is corrosion 1?

Nevermind i gotchu

[honest cradle]

522 fleet tech doesn't match data mine
#bug-reports message
I wonder if she was planned originally to be a purple sub

[narrow kiln]

...

[ornate shore]

Does higher corrosion equals more action points?

[sweet delta]

No

[cobalt rapids]

theres no 522 in datamine

[viscid swift]

the sub in this event is U552 not U522

[ornate shore]

No one’s told me about this hack

I will definitely grind

[little tree]

Hows the 8k gun from event ?

[narrow kiln]

I saw higher it...

[wind hazel]

huh??

Pennywise the clown, but higher?

[turbid marsh]

what is higher it

[honest cradle]

My bad.

[rose whale]

is mikasa worth going 125?

[tame jungle]

no lmfao

[tropic tusk]

Among all the ddg which one is the best? Or they just equal

[ivory pawn]

The best is the one whose retrofit item you got for free.
If you have options, or more spec core than you can use, there was a chart somewhere with An Shan as the top recommendation.

[wind hazel]

110

[turbid basin]

and you need 4 fleets

[tropic tusk]

So an shan is the best

[sweet delta]

An shan is the best for 1:1

[normal cedar]

who's generally the main fleet for 1:1 with ddg?

[sweet delta]

Depends on the difficulty but unicorn is a decently cheap option

[carmine heath]

is this new event?

also whats next ur rerun >.>

[sweet delta]

Yes Unzen

[tropic tusk]

But next Ur is a new one right?

[carmine heath]

finally i can stop being called poor

[tropic tusk]

It's new then unzen

[brave bluff]

in the slaimuda fleetmaker thing... when you click the drop down things for the gear, are they listed in order of best for that slot?

[ivory pawn]

So long as there’s no shenanigans yes, but a new UR isn’t a rerun yeah?

[sweet delta]

Use a better fleet maker

[cunning bone]

did the daily commissions get more mission?

[tropic tusk]

I'm just double checking

[ivory pawn]

The last daily commissions you had from the previous night carry over for a couple hours now.

[tropic tusk]

Talk about daily commission my one got a timer the urgent ones went to the normal commission

[brave bluff]

okay, i have fleets.. i'm just trying to gear them up properly

[normal cedar]

should I do solo if I'm doing data collection mission (plymouth) rn?

[tropic tusk]

I think it's a bug

[ivory pawn]

[tropic tusk]

Oh that's nice

Didn't read patch note yet mb

[brave bluff]

is there a fleetbuilder that has good gear recommends and gear alternatives?

[sweet delta]

Ask here for specifics if you're playing something hard . If you're just playing easy stuff, then gear doesn't matter that much so you can copy slaimuda

Coalition has been better every time and probably this time too

[brave bluff]

well i'm at chapter 13 story and wanting to do operation siren... hardmode arbiter

[sweet delta]

Then definitely don't copy slaida

[brave bluff]

okay... i know pretty much nothing about gearing fleets...

is there a resource that is better for it than slaida?

[sweet delta]

It may be enough to beat harbinger, but if not then you would ask here for the most optimal gear according to your fleet and depot

[brave bluff]

okay, mmm quick question. is there an easy way to know if a ship should use the HE guns or AP guns?
is it just, HE for mobs and AP for bosses?

[sweet delta]

it's based on the specific enemy

[grizzled sundial]

Depend on the enemy armor , mostly the boss that you are worry about .

Do bis 2 IB buff skill also affect herself ?

[stable rapids]

anyone knows the bosses levels in this event at SP stage?

I dont want to waste a single drop of oil if I cant really defeat them because I cant make 4 whole fleets

[grizzled sundial]

Actually not that hard , i think it was 110 ? EX is lv 125 btw.

[carmine heath]

Event gun any good? It looks kinda memey

[grizzled sundial]

Look just like the one in the gear lab...

[carmine heath]

[stable rapids]

then I pass on this stage, I dont have enought leveled ships to make 4 fleets

[cobalt robin]

Who decided to make it that way, very beginner friendly ✌🏻

[paper sun]

Anybody got black camera car from event points accumulation? I collected it but I can't find it in depot.

[grizzled sundial]

It a dorm item

[wind hazel]

[wicked obsidian]

Is this Cat any good??

[wind hazel]

no

[wicked obsidian]

Didn't even take seconds to say no...

[river junco]

Hp skill is useless for one

[hollow gust]

Rookie helmsmen is kinda shit too

[pseudo cloud]

Is this new update supposed to be anniversary?

[viscid swift]

no

[pseudo cloud]

Ok thank you

[wind hazel]

cheeky how are you farming the event?

[viscid swift]

coalition mode on hard

[wind hazel]

oil cap all the way?

[viscid swift]

yep

I can't be bothered to low cost Coalition events, plus I'm leveling sub affinity anyway

[flint sonnet]

Since it this event doesn’t have a shop, then is it even worth farming?

[viscid swift]

yes

[sullen birch]

How are the new ships?

[elfin hollow]

is there ways to get more hedgehogs? its been like 3-4 years since they were added

[wind hazel]

no, only 1

[elfin hollow]

sad

[warped trench]

Can someone rate my mob fleet

[hollow gust]

only need one anyway

[hollow gust]

max Bismarck, and drop NJ for a ship that you can mlb

[elfin hollow]

yeah just thought i could get more to breeze through all sub levels now i came back to game but ill prob breeze through anyway with all the new ur's

[warped trench]

Dang people really hate my lb1 nj

[hollow gust]

[elfin hollow]

lbing ships gives quite a big boost

[little tree]

She is worse then most purple ships missing limit breaks

Double bb in mob is generally bad you want double cv 1 bb

[cobalt gate]

is the oil usage estimate wrong for the event? doesn't seem to change even when i change the sub to not be used

[little tree]

Nj has been power crept like crazy as well dont use bullins on her

[whole crypt]

I wouldn't say 2 BB worse than 2 CV without context but it's just generally bad to use ships without MLB depending on your current progression

[warped trench]

Soooo can I use my Kii instead

[whole crypt]

it counts subs even if you set to no summon it seems just remove the sub fleet if you're not using

[grave silo]

Potentially silly question - the railcar joint missions get harder as the rounds go on, or no?

[whole crypt]

a MLB Kii is probably better than 1 LB NJ yes but that gear is pretty cursed

[whole crypt]

should be roughly the same

[warped trench]

That’s what my friend set my Kii to a while back 🤷‍♂️

[grave silo]

yeah, i think my glorious meta is just struggling in round 3. thanks!

[whole crypt]

your friend doesn't know how to gear then

[warped trench]

Possibly

[hollow gust]

huh how does glorious meta struggle on r3

[whole crypt]

level, gear, rest of comp

[grave silo]

not fully skilled yet, and her gear could use some work

i just slapped some stuff on thinking it would be enoug. i'll rework it

i need more steam catapults

[whole crypt]

the "hard" stage is like around lv100 so if you get too lazy it can be a bit sketchy

[abstract hollow]

Hello fellow Little Agir enjoyer!

[grave silo]

yeah lol. working on it

[whole crypt]

there's oil cap anyway so after first clear just pack the fleet

[warped trench]

Should be fire control radar and an ap shell I think

[abstract hollow]

For Glorious Meta? Isn't she a CV?

[grave silo]

An AP shell? on a carrier?

[warped trench]

For Kii 😭

[tame jungle]

i don't think jcw3 was replying to you lmao

[warped trench]

I didn’t read the bottom part of his message woops

[abstract hollow]

Lol no worries, I was also lost and just trying to follow the convo

[hollow gust]

how do they calc EX , was it just speed of clear

[whole crypt]

I think so for this one

given the boss formats there's not much you can skim on fleet power anyway even if it counted

[abstract hollow]

Not trying to use cubes, but I'm sort of tempted to toss in a few pulls for Zenker. My only BC is Little Renown right now 😓

[tame jungle]

how many cubes do you have rn

[abstract hollow]

~400

[cobalt gate]

keep above 400

[tame jungle]

generally yes, but it's a long way to the next UR

[cobalt gate]

anni soon.

isn't anni soon?

[tame jungle]

i'd do like max 50 pulls or so

[abstract hollow]

Gotcha. I think I knew that was the answer logically, but I needed a little external willpower to hold off

[narrow kiln]

is subs use cost Oil on autoballes?

[tame jungle]

next anni should be EN anni but i don't think they usually have gacha UR

since JP anniversary is only a month after that

[abstract hollow]

For normal maps? Yes, if they're set to support mode. If they're set to attack (roam around the map) I think they're free

[narrow kiln]

waits further

[cobalt gate]

i was wondering about oil cost for sub on the event, it seems to be in calculation when i don't even use the sub

[winter quartz]

noobs shouldn't pull on the current banner correct?

[tame jungle]

how many cubes do you have

[winter quartz]

247

[tame jungle]

yeah i'd hold off

[hollow gust]

it technicallly is hit+1 for the BB

[tame jungle]

can do like 1 daily pull on event banner for the regular mission but i'd limit it to that

[forest palm]

is it BC exclusive tech, or is it general BB tech

[abstract hollow]

Wait, I'm stupid. I have Hood and Black Rock chillin' in the dock

[narrow kiln]

is something there is good for Laffey?

[hollow gust]

good enough

[cobalt gate]

oh thanks, guess i shouldn't have for 1 then

[narrow kiln]

is her retrofit is good to 1:1 with unicorn runs?

[strange path]

1:1 for event?

Or are you farming a campaign stage

[hollow gust]

Whats the armors for EX?

[narrow kiln]

for normal battle events.

[boreal wagon]

LLMLM

[hollow gust]

aight , might need to switch a weapon around

i dont have enough HE guns

[viscid swift]

use main fleet DDGs for the 2nd or first boss

[hollow gust]

i got another idea , we fine

[carmine heath]

is this an event for sub affinity farming

[cobalt rapids]

oilcap in event is 16
in ch 12 its 17 so its w.e

[obtuse island]

is z13 worth leveling up as a beginner

[cobalt rapids]

no

[sweet delta]

Z13 is only worth leveling up as an endgame maxmaxer

[whole crypt]

how low cost can you run hard this time

[obtuse island]

fair enough

[hollow gust]

huh i dont think its clear speed

[whole crypt]

stig might know better

I haven't bothered lately and especially not with frostfall format

[eternal basalt]

In event they come x3, in ch12 they might not at all

[cobalt rapids]

if its time u care about ull level ur aff faster by just turning autocall in campaign and forgetting about them rather than trying to break your neck aff farming em asap during events

[hollow gust]

oh well i hit 16.8k, good enough

[wary skiff]

does the new kms sub chance the kms sub fleet at all?

[turbid marsh]

i guess yeah, but its notl ike its gonna make a BIG difference though... core is 96 81

[dusk maple]

ex? clear speed & numbers of ships sunk affect the score

[wary skiff]

which would be flag?

[hollow gust]

I need more Hvars too

[turbid marsh]

if you use 552 just go with 552 as flag then...

[wary skiff]

snorkel / pressure resistant hull design? and ty

dunno if snorkel is best since cshe starts raised

[turbid marsh]

now that i can't comment, cause i was under the impression that 552 has enough oxygen for double oxy

[sweet delta]

552 is flag and best wolf

[wary skiff]

can you link me that please

[deft kettle]

yall is the event rn worth building?

[turbid marsh]

bb hit and dd fp. important tech for me

[wind hazel]

so it's really 81 ripbozo

what's the dmg difference 101 and 81

[stark quiver]

Good thing
I didn’t raise any kms subs

[sweet delta]

About zero

[wind hazel]

so not 81 ripbozo

🫃🏼 how far from fishpack?

[sweet delta]

~92% of fish against a medium range heavy armor

[sweet delta]

Obviously though 101 way better for DDCL and 81 better for CV

[inland shoal]

So vs CV would be 96 552 81?

[fallen jay]

So since I don’t have any of the characters of this event should I be pulling?

[inland shoal]

Depends on your goals, your cube count and what you have rn

[wind hazel]

depends on how many cubes you have

[fallen jay]

I have 100 cubes

[wind hazel]

skip this

[inland shoal]

Then I'd probably skip, especially if you care about collabs

[wheat light]

What do you guys recon the best main fleet is for 13-1 with lvl 100+ elite/rare trash vanguards?

[sweet delta]

Why

[wheat light]

I was thinking of farming 13-1 instead of 11-1

[sweet delta]

Should've been farming 12 I think

[wheat light]

yes but 13 is double the cogs of 12

and 13-1 is kinda easy

[sweet delta]

You're done with all main fleet ships?

[soft raft]

how does 522 wolfpack compare to the Fishpack?

[wheat light]

yes I have everything maxed out, I only need to level 70 more vanguards to have all ships 120

[fallen jay]

I’m not really sure what I should be focused on at this point. Cause I’m at a stand still with campaign and there’s a lot of stuff in siren ops war archive and events I don’t know which to start with or focus on Andy of waste my resources

[sweet delta]

Then play 15-1 for chips or 12-4 for exp with MVP control

[wheat light]

can 15-1 be done with trash vanguards?

[sweet delta]

Level 105+ trash should be fine maybe possibly

Raffaello unicorn zuihou/aquila

[soft raft]

Are you at W9 yet?
Yes: Start working on a 2nd fleet as you keep grinding to W12
No: Focus on pushing to W9 then

Also War Archives are mostly not required unless you lack german tech points, in which case you'd farm Divergent Chessboard

After you get to W12, you can start looking at OpSi and Research

[wind hazel]

no, do event first, forget about campaign

do event>ships low morale>go do opsi>ship regain morale>grind event again>repeat

[narrow kiln]

Is it just me or is VIT-2 rather weak?

[fallen jay]

I made it to World 10-1 currently. I did the event as much as I could for now. I’m struggling with making a second fleet. I meant to do so last night but then I remembered Palworld got a massive update and I got busy playing that

[wind hazel]

which vit2

[soft raft]

Which one
there's two of them

[sweet delta]

It's just you

[narrow kiln]

any. I dont see any difference.

[soft raft]

the blue one is a converging torp bomber

[wind hazel]

there's a big difference....

[fallen jay]

So I got to SP in the event but I can’t do it as I don’t have 3 teams that are strong enough to beat it.

[narrow kiln]

And then can you explain to me the planes of the Northern Parliament?
Because I didn't really understand them.

[eternal basalt]

You need 4 in SP btw

[narrow kiln]

thanks.
I got a little understand of it now.
And I reminded myself that I shouldn't think about realism.

[brave bluff]

Asking for some fleet building help so gonna make this into a thread.

[fallen jay]

Question why wouldn’t I want to use AP rounds all the time for the FP bonus?

[sweet delta]

What AP?

[hollow gust]

prob means peircing lol

[sweet delta]

I think white shell is an AP round too

[soft raft]

Black Shell/Superheavy AP? Because HIT Stat is a pretty valueable stat for BBs

So when HSFCR/AFCT are being considered for use, Black Shell often gets the boot

[brave bluff]

Fleet building assistance

[fallen jay]

I have no idea what any of the odd abbreviations meant

[narrow kiln]

it turns out that there are rainbow ones, which are better, but overall the Parliament's planes are good?

[soft raft]

HSFCR = High Standard Fire Control Table (SR timing aux)
AFCT = Admirality Fire Control Table (HSFCR but better and UR)

HIT Stat affects accuracy/checks against Evasion (EVA) stat, so having more HIT helps BBs actually land their shots against enemies that have more EVA

[sweet delta]

Did you actually understand it, because there's no rainbow plane better than VIT-2 (Mode Change)

[turbid marsh]

if i remember correctly vit-2 is basically slowest and strongest aim torpedo plane, and there aint any rainbow planes competing in this catogary

[hollow gust]

the mode change one yes

[turbid marsh]

and when they have literally different uses... you can't say something is 'comparatively weak' when they can't be compared...

[flint fiber]

I have a question what was up with the last banner why was it so short or I’m I tripping balls 😭

[rain vine]

its a rerun, so it only lasts 1 week

[flint fiber]

Oh ok cause I didn’t even get 1 character from my pulls 😭

[icy eagle]

i bought z13's skin, everytime i go off the home screen her socks come off is there any way i can make them stay on?

[hollow gust]

go to setting and turn on keep pose

[icy eagle]

ur a life saver thank u so much

[deft kettle]

boys is it worth building on this event banner with only 2 sr?

[hollow gust]

depends on how broke you are

[deft kettle]

i have lotsa coins

no cubes though

[flint fiber]

Well I’m broke now I only had 15 but I said you know what can I lose and I somehow won and got the thick one so I’m happy kek 😂

[deft kettle]

i atleast want u-552, she got that suit and them legs, i need her real bad

[brave bluff]

For musashi should she use a regular BB main gun or does the twin 410mm Kai Naval gun work best for her?

[viscid swift]

she wants IJN main guns

[deft kettle]

ggs brother

[hollow gust]

just keep using the twin410kai until you unlock the boss guns later on

[brave bluff]

which guns would those be please?

[reef flume]

Use IJN main gun

[flint fiber]

What’s the method to getting a lot of cubes 🤔

[reef flume]

Izumo gun or Daisen gun (Yamato gun too but its slow and its unlockable)

[viscid swift]

playing the game daily and consistently

[hollow gust]

They are specific guns for different bosses , which is not recommended

[brave bluff]

ask here? or be a crazy collector

[hollow gust]

you should have a huge surplus on cubes eventually which means you pull all the ships

[brave bluff]

okay so for general use... stick to the 410kai?

thank you

[grizzled wave]

i have these 3 wolfpack subs already are any of them worth replacing for the new one u-552?

[ruby thorn]

does this mean as a solo challenge or coalition battle?

[inland shoal]

Joint sortie = coalition battle

[formal inlet]

hey how can i farm gold as farm as possible ?

[stark quiver]

13-4
But just do event right now

[gaunt cedar]

is there any point in doing event past 15k points

[viscid swift]

gold plates

[strange path]

Should i still prioritize tenrai if i do not have a ur cv? (Protocore)

[ivory pawn]

Of the URs, yes. Other non-UR CVs can use it too.
But you should grab 2-3 AP BB guns first, usually 2 Champy guns and a Flandre gun.

[sweet delta]

If you have no problem catching 552 up on levels, then replace 37. But with level 100s it doesn't seem like they're used yet

[calm canopy]

God i swear, just spent over 30 cubes and still haven't gotten any of the new characters

[viscid swift]

30 cubes is nothing frankly

[strange path]

When should i choose to use flandre gun over a champy gun? Does it have to do with timings?

[ivory pawn]

It's just to get 3 ~20s AP BB guns asap, so in theory you use all three at once.

[slow fox]

Why are the actual stats different than the hypothetical where am I delusion

eHP comp severely outdated (still uses eHP2)

For now, eHP comp is ME

[grizzled wave]

yeee imma catch up fosho

[sweet delta]

I already added the tech, skills, and gear

[slow fox]

fumizuki

[jovial jackal]

Although there is no clear rewards, the oil/coins is good in the event?

[obtuse island]

i need help making a second fleet

[mortal relic]

Hello everyone
I came back on AL after 3 years, got my account back with the help of the support ( big thanks to them)
the problem is, I'm trying my best to remember everything, but it's... kinda hard, and I was wondering if a charitable soul would help as the noob I am 😅 🥹 ( english is not my first language, sorry if I used wrong words of stuff like that )

[glad pine]

so how the hell are you supposed to complete sp for the event?

just have 4 fleets of ultra high level ships?

[sweet delta]

4 fleets of moderately high level ships, and full fleets aren't necessary

[eternal basalt]

With a 40 oil cap, it's hard to not go over so 3:3 is better then

[sweet delta]

It's hard to have 24 high level ships as a new player

[calm canopy]

Well i usually have great luck getting Iron Blood ships without using so many cubes but this one is kicking my butt. Last event i pulled my second Bismarck Zwei in my 2nd pull

[grizzled sundial]

the reward gun in milestone is 305 SKC 39 , after i get it should i upgrade it to triple 380 SKC in the lab ? I got mat to spare .

[stark quiver]

no

[viscid swift]

well now you're figuring out why RNG plays by its own rules

[stark quiver]

youll probably never even use it

[calm canopy]

I guess so lol

[grizzled sundial]

well yes i will , cus i not meta chaser , but i want to compare between the 2 guns and whether the upgrade is worth it or not .

[stark quiver]

its not.. neither of them are good
just use the mk6

[grizzled sundial]

I only need to know if the 380 really an upgrade from 305 like how they portray it in tech tree , i don't give a damn thing about " It not XXX gun so all the gun crap "

[gaunt cedar]

does this 'new' shop in opsi never refresh unless you buy everything?

[grizzled sundial]

I got all the strong gun i need

[eternal basalt]

Refreshes at reset

[gaunt cedar]

??? so once a month or what

[viscid swift]

the Triple 380 as far as I remember is basically another gun that's similar to the IJN 410mm

[grizzled sundial]

well yes but i want to compare to the 305....

[viscid swift]

OpSi reset is at the start of the month so yes

[viscid swift]

it's got higher damage but a longer reload

[grizzled sundial]

Ok , that will do

[viscid swift]

if you want by how much you can compare the gun's stats on the wiki

[inland shoal]

What exactly do you need help with?

[mortal relic]

honnestly ? pretty everything ;-; ^^'

[inland shoal]

I suppose if you don't remember anything you can try giving the newbie guide in /guide a read (See #bot-spam )

[icy sphinx]

True, and you can also check other guns stats there too

[mortal relic]

omw, thanks 🙂

[abstract hollow]

Anyone happen to know where I should be able to find this event reward? Right after collecting it I got a “Data Error” and my game crashed. Not seeing it in the depot now

[storm olive]

looks like a dorm item

[abstract hollow]

Good call 👍

[forest palm]

[cyan bloom]

Anyone have a unicorn loadout?

[stark quiver]

for campaign
put asw aux if there are subs

[forest palm]

don't even need ASW till 14

[sharp comet]

how much currency do you get with coalition?

[muted crescent]

might as well ask: what else can I do that is NOT exercises after I run out of oil
I'm on a bleak 26 oil ☠️

[stark quiver]

operation siren

[muted crescent]

ok... so I wait till lvl 60 to do that, thanks

is it just OpSi btw or?

[stark quiver]

thats what people usually do
i tryhard ex stage, but thats me
you kinda just wait for oil

[muted crescent]

fair enough

[vital meadow]

any gear rec for raffaelo

[viscid swift]

same as other BBs

[cyan bloom]

Alright, thanks

[vital meadow]

ima need u to gimme a picture of gears cuz idk what the same gear means

[viscid swift]

copy what gear your other BBs are using

[sweet delta]

If you need to ask what the typical BBs gear is every time then maybe just save a picture and accept that it won't be optimal

[crystal sierra]

i am a returning player and gotta ask what's the skin projection on PR1 ships and is it worth the 400 gems?

[stark quiver]

skin projection is not worth any gems

[crystal sierra]

but still what is it?

[stark quiver]

a way to display multiple skins of the same ship as secretary
check pinned messages

[sharp wave]

Is admiral zenker worth it to summon?

[stark quiver]

how many cubes do you have

[sharp wave]

30

[crystal sierra]

Ah i missed it i checked the pins but i thought it's about pr7... yea... It's not worth thanks

[stark quiver]

no

[sharp wave]

Ok

[gray sphinx]

Yeaaaa you’re probably saving until the next UR event lol. We still have two more of those this year

[sharp wave]

Ok thanks for the info

[undone zinc]

When should i start doing OpSi?

I recently hitted level 60

[sweet delta]

When you're not losing battles or ships every other battle

Probably want level 100+ ships in one fleet at the minimum

<@&472236072743600148> will help you

[undone zinc]

eh?

[abstract hollow]

Not sure if this is what the veterans will tell you, but I waited awhile. If you have tons of free time during the day to play it's fine since it doesn't cost oil or decrease ship morale, but at the beginning it's just a bunch of weird new UIs to learn for not much gain

[sweet delta]

I mean skip opsi until you have a level 100+ fleet

[abstract hollow]

That too

[undone zinc]

[agile patrol]

hello azur laners
do i pull on the new event banner?

idk how good Zenker or U-552 are

[ivory pawn]

Not necessarily. But if you have a ton of cubes, sure.

[agile patrol]

ah okay. i'll save them

[echo vector]

Can i have the link to gear explanation and tier list please ?

It seems to be normal coa with 4 oil 1:1

[eager mulch]

[stark quiver]

Yes

[eager mulch]

[warped acorn]

for sp is it stage gets harder everytime or they are equal?

[fast dawn]

Guys should I mlb BisZwei?

[stark quiver]

can you send a screen shot of all your URs, mlbed and unmlbed

[fast dawn]

Err BisZwei is my only UR for now and the rest I haven't mlbed except for nurnberg

[stark quiver]

so zwei is the only UR you have in your dock?
if so, id MLB her

[dreamy blade]

If she's your only UR then yes mlb her

[fast dawn]

Yup she's the only UR in my dock for now

I can't build any new ships for now because I'm conserving cubes for better ships in the future

Alright thanks for the help

[warped acorn]

?

[thorn tartan]
