[viscid swift]

no

[atomic abyss]

It's in the command /equip

[nocturne horizon]

Ok thanks

Now just to mlb my ships

[errant fog]

For the event stage, is it better to grind solo battle or coalition battle?

[oak girder]

Just pitied vanguard today. Last time i asked during lion event, was told to mlb vanguard after lion. Is that still true, or do i mlb bis2 instead? Non-lb0 are from dupes not bulins

[viscid swift]

coalition

[viscid swift]

MLB Zwei next

[sweet delta]

That's why you should take advice that tells you which UR to MLB before you have bulins, with a ladle of salt. Bisz would have been the priority even if she and Vanguard were both LB0

But according to my investigation, nobody told you to mlb vanguard

[pseudo hearth]

Any recommendations on which SSRs I should MLB next?

[cobalt rapids]

tech u wanna grind

[sweet delta]

like hornii tech

[summer otter]

yo, does anyone know when was the last eldridge retrofit event is?

[cobalt rapids]

around 1 year ago on EN anni ( august )

[summer otter]

aah alright thanks

[cobalt robin]

Should I use all these cords

Alright

[rapid grail]

Yes, pick the Abyssal zones on Corrosion 5/6 zones (on the Map)
Pick whoever is the last coords on screen, good chance it goes to C5 or C6 zones (Storage)

They cost 100 AP each so it's inevitable you won't be able to clear them all unless if u dump ur oil today and tomorrow (Monday; Weekly reset for a lot of things including OpSi's oil to AP conversion)

[cobalt robin]

Also is there a point to my 300k of the opsi coins or however they're called. I've bought the ap packs from ports but those cost couple thousand

[rapid grail]

Or just opt for C4 Abyssals for easier fights but less resources overall

[sweet delta]

Buy Coordinates and purple token things from port shops

[cobalt rapids]

they have ap boxes also did u buy the ap boxes from port ?

[rapid grail]

Won't recommend dumping oil now tho. Save them for lazy OpSi exploration later or some other oil ise

[sweet delta]

They also can get akashi AP from the hidden zones

[cobalt robin]

I've bought out everything

[cobalt robin]

@cobalt rapids

[cobalt rapids]

i cannot read, mb

[cobalt robin]

All good, all these coins gonna disappear soon 😔😔😔

[cobalt rapids]

they get turned to vouchers which in turn means u get more siren loggers which in turn gives u more mats

[cobalt robin]

I have enough AP boxes for them, won't need to oil use

[cobalt robin]

These vouchers?

What's the conversion

[stark quiver]

check wiki

[cobalt robin]

Alright

[near rune]

whats the best lvl to farm for commander level, im 83

[left cedar]

generally the highest W u have, once W15 completed, generally W14 better cuz faster and same avg of XP per battle even cmmd with too high lvl

[near rune]

Hm, so 12-4?

[hushed sorrel]

12-4 is good

[near rune]

Highest i can play :(

[near rune]

Okie! Tysm

[hushed sorrel]

its the most common used map to level up ships

so you lose nothing repeating that

[near rune]

Wouldnt repeating high levels of the event be more useful?

[hushed sorrel]

if you still need the event stuff go for it

[cobalt robin]

Do ap boxes also disappear with the opsi reset?

[near rune]

Nope i dont think so :( i just need the thing that gives most xp

[hushed sorrel]

yes, and cancel that without exception.

[stark quiver]

event hard mode up to 45k on milestone

[near rune]

Il repeat 12-3 i guess :)

[cobalt robin]

Time to use it all then

[near rune]

🧐 more exp?!

[hushed sorrel]

the only item that doesnt disappear is that pink energy thing you can rarely use to exchange for a few stats

[stark quiver]

no, but good resource drops at 45k

[hushed sorrel]

i would need to look up its name

[near rune]

Hm, thanks for the help everyone

[hushed sorrel]

time to pay the bill? xD

[hushed sorrel]

energy storage device

[cobalt robin]

Energy storage device?

[hushed sorrel]

but seems like it will also disappear? atleast that wasnt always the case

[cobalt robin]

Why doesn't that disappear lol

[hushed sorrel]

the game says it will get exchanged

[cobalt robin]

Oh exchanged for vouchers

[hushed sorrel]

but i am very sure i kept mine for month/years dunno. i will see

[cobalt robin]

Well I just bought 6 gold ap boxes, time to grind

[hushed sorrel]

maybe i just found new ones in boxes

[cobalt robin]

Probably

[near rune]

Oh one other thing, do we get a name change certificate at some point or do we have to buy with gems

[cobalt rapids]

only with gems

[hushed sorrel]

for the ships? once you oath them. for the player i dont know

[near rune]

:(

[hushed sorrel]

pretty sure you can rename the ships after 30days of the last renaming but i did never do that so i could be wrong

[cobalt robin]

What is the red spiral in opsi, like a tornado, is that a big strong enemy

[cobalt rapids]

yes u can rename oathed ships every 30 days

[cobalt rapids]

thats the stronghold

[hushed sorrel]

nope its a lot of enemies. it has a boss at the end but you can always repair, go back and repair and so on. good thing it will give you 200 activity points if you challenge it maybe even more so its a easy pass for a day

[cobalt robin]

Damn

I'm too under leveled for this shit

[hushed sorrel]

just go outside and challenge something else. its not a bossstage it wont dissappear. well it will dissapear after reset

[cobalt rapids]

what are your adapts ?

[hushed sorrel]

but after reset you will get 2 new ones and 1 new one each new week

[cobalt robin]

173, 150, 149 and my ship levels are 105-115 with only uni being 125

[cobalt rapids]

go farm adapts till ure at 188/188/144 at least

[cobalt robin]

What's the point of red ports

[hushed sorrel]

thats not something i would say on the second last day xD. just try to force push it if you can do that

[cobalt rapids]

they sometimes get dailies spawned in em

[cobalt robin]

Nothing there lmao

[hushed sorrel]

at the start of each month you can auto-search each port and that opens many options since they are quite a few

[cobalt robin]

I plan on using all the ap boxes anyway

[cobalt rapids]

they can farm adapts while clearing their hiddens and finishing the xplorable
its not like farming adapts is a separate activity then just clearing opsi

[hushed sorrel]

right i did assume the map was already explored

[cobalt robin]

I only have like 4 more zones

Rest is secured

[hushed sorrel]

the only thing you shouldnt forget is visiting the port shop

and trying arbiter and difficulty 6 bosses if you know you can beat them

[cobalt robin]

Yea bought everything

[hushed sorrel]

those drop ur craft parts

[cobalt robin]

I'll try

[hushed sorrel]

the arbiter could be lots of reparing and go back but the difficult 6 abyssal must be done in one run

[cobalt robin]

My ships are lvl 105-115, I'm at W12 so also take that into acc

[cobalt rapids]

do u have 2 fleets at least?

[cobalt robin]

Yea

[cobalt rapids]

then u might beat some abysalls

[cobalt robin]

I did 12-1 easily but wanna spend all my ap before reset first

1200 ap in total

[cobalt rapids]

12-1 is easy compared to abysall fights

[hushed sorrel]

i guess the normal arbiter will work out, the difficulty 4 maybe 5 abyssal but the abyssal 6 could be difficult

[cobalt robin]

12-1 is so much easier than most of these ships in opsi

Same level but tankier

[cobalt rapids]

just pray u dont get a zombie

[cobalt robin]

What's that lol

Does it come back after death or sum

[sweet delta]

[boreal wagon]

close but not quite, they heal when they drop to a certain threshold

[cobalt robin]

😔

[cobalt robin]

Damn

Dw my lion will one shot it trust

[hushed sorrel]

good luck. i would just go for it. you cannot lose much.

[cobalt robin]

Yea

[paper walrus]

ιs 81 96 101 still the top kms sub fleet?

[viscid swift]

no

[paper walrus]

who got repleaced 😭

[viscid swift]

U-81

[cobalt robin]

For arbiter, can I recover my fleet's resolve by going back to port and come back with dmg saved?

[paper walrus]

the moment i got her she got replaced 😭

[cobalt robin]

Les goo

[sweet delta]

Healing in port doesn't get rid of low resolve

But the arbiter HP is indeed saved

[hushed sorrel]

it doesnt matter much. you can still use her.

dont fear the unknown

[cobalt robin]

I'll just go somewhere else and win a battle then

[stark quiver]

just go fight a c1

[pseudo hearth]

Judging by previous years, about how long until we start getting teasers for the PR8 ships?

[viscid swift]

a few days probably

[vale mango]

Question! How good is Z13? Cause I'm in love with her.

[sweet delta]

I have bad news for you

[vale mango]

[viscid swift]

she's +1 DD FP

[vale mango]

Is.. that bad?

[viscid swift]

it's good, but that's all she's good for

[vale mango]

im... not entirely sure I'm following. I don't think I'm familiar with all these AL terminology yet

[viscid swift]

she gives +1 Fire Power stat to all destroyers at level 120

[late flame]

most purple elite are collection tier / tech only

[vale mango]

OH gotcha thank you.

[vale mango]

I guess she'll just be waifu tier for me.

Follow up question though. IS Kawakaze META decent? I haven't used her much since I haven't completed her sync yet, but I'm trying to figure out who to invest in rn besides Bismark Zwei.

[late flame]

Kawa META (most gold / super rare) tend to be good / decent

also, META(morphosis) units use different resources, and do not occupy dock slots

[vale mango]

Oh right, forgot they didn't take up space. I'll invest in her then. Thank you for the reminder and help!

[white agate]

do a daily mission, even better

[glossy granite]

Who to MLB next 🤔

[white agate]

probably bismark

[white agate]

no messages fo a whole hour

[glossy granite]

And im still not 100% sure 💀

I literally got only 4 options and cant even pick 1

[white agate]

tbh your choice is between bis2 and fritz here; pew pew and traffy due to being vanguards are not that important, you jist need them to survive so they can use their skills

[inland shoal]

Bisko >= Rumey > Nano imho

[white agate]

bis 2 is better for you imo tho

[soft raft]

BisZwei > Rumey > Shinano > Z52 > Trafalgar == NJ

[proper cypress]

which skills on bis 2 should i level to 10 or all of them?

[dreamy blade]

All of them

[proper cypress]

thanks

[rapid summit]

How to get more blue prints from research academy?

[soft raft]

skill prio doesnt really mean much when you should be getting all of their skills to lvl 10 anyways

Unless it's Portland or Indianapolis lol

[soft raft]

H and D researches

[glossy granite]

Yo which main comp was the OP one again? Amagi shinano hakuryuu or amagi shinano musashi? or any of the 4?

just to know

[soft raft]

for what content?

[rapid summit]

Ty

[wary skiff]

whats the main fleet comp for implac / shinano / hakuryuu other than the protected ijn dd?

[soft raft]

Guam or another tank, Kazagumo, and Sirius

[wary skiff]

is agir fine in place of guam? i didnt play during the event

well ya another tank ig, i have napoli too

[soft raft]

Sure that works

[sweet robin]

Hi, currently developing Hakuryu. Question about combat data experience thing. Do max level ships contribute to this?

[ivory pawn]

Yes.

[sharp socket]

which do i keep

[sinful spruce]

should I limit break yorktown 2 to 6 star or limitbreak bismark zwei or implacable which are both currently 3 star

[viscid swift]

are those the only options, and what other URs do you have?

[glossy granite]

Filter only Ultra rares and take a screenshot

[sharp socket]

york2

[glossy granite]

Yorktown 2 ofc

[sinful spruce]

kk ty

what should I work on after yorktown?, implacable or bismark

[glossy granite]

Wait when you have 4 UR bullins and then ask, after you max out Yorktown

[sinful spruce]

kk

[dreamy blade]

Is flame by itself better than + 18 rld + 29 trp

[stark quiver]

Left side is better

[stark quiver]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/
go see the damage diff

[vague igloo]

is it worth skipping zenker

[stark quiver]

Yes

Depending on how many cubes you have (over 400 imo)
You could do 1-3 event pulls per day instead of 1 pull in light pool
If you do, keep in mind we might have a collab rerun next month

[vague igloo]

I have none currently

[gaunt cedar]

[stark quiver]

I believe you should skip

[sweet delta]

So basically you hard pulled the banner and got 552

[vague igloo]

I still haven't got u552

[sweet delta]

best save cubes for september

[rapid summit]

How long does it take for research academy to refresh

[stark quiver]

it doesnt refresh until you use the refresh button at the bottom left of the screen or you take one of the researches

[rapid summit]

Alr ty

[soft raft]

And then it refreshes again (along with the daily refresh) at the daily reset

[idle gull]

What’s the fastest way to get medals of honor? I need 25 before the shop reset

[robust onyx]

Retire characters

Blue-1
Purple-4
Gold-10

[stark quiver]

i dont recommend retiring gold and purple ships

[wind hazel]

why not purple

[stark quiver]

depends on the purp ig

[sinful escarp]

if the purple and gold is mlb, just retire

decide whether you can level up the ship for a LB if you want to use that dupe instead of a bullin

[worldly lion]

Best stuff to buy?

[stark quiver]

/coredata

[odd root]

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/images/equip_misc/Core_Data_Priority.jpeg

[sinful escarp]

for me only buy the white and black shells, arrays. the rest is on a case to case basis for when i need them

[stark quiver]

3 white shells
2-3 black shells
independance
missile(s) and seal of 4 if you use ddgs
whatever else you may need

only buy if you need
and dont need to buy them all now

[sinful escarp]

reset for core shop is in roughly 4 hrs

[stark quiver]

no its not

[fair lance]

Add about 24 more hours to that

[stark quiver]

28h 11m

[worldly lion]

Yea. I have 4 BBs fully kitted with aux. Might save them for now until I need them. Thanks

[sinful escarp]

mb, am confused by the timezones and dates

[stark quiver]

you can only buy one copy of a gear a month, unless listed otherwise
if you need to gear your subs, then you should get the gears now so you dont need to wait an extra month

oxytorps are good on torp boats, not like we have a lot tho
pretty expensive also

[sinful escarp]

yeah, it takes 3 months to gear subs because of the shop limitations....

[worldly lion]

ddgs?

[sinful escarp]

an shan, fu shun, chang chun, tai yuan

[stark quiver]

anshan, fushum, tai yuan, chang chun all retrofitted into guides missile destroyers that shoot missiles instead of torps

[sinful escarp]

they are used for low cost fleets for farming

[worldly lion]

Oh isee. Thanks. I believe i havent built any of those yet

[stark quiver]

if you have sy1a missile you dont need to buy the other missile

[wind hazel]

💀 that's just a coincidence that they are cheap and strong for low oil, but that's not really the reason why they are good

[sinful escarp]

what else are they used for? ive only seen people here recommending them for lowcost

[stark quiver]

they do big damage

[wind hazel]

literally everywhere else

they are one of the top vanguard dps especially vs Light

[sinful escarp]

ahhh i see

[stark quiver]

but alas, nobody give af abt vanguard dps not named ply
and azur lane meta is just buffing backlines anyways lmfao

[inner delta]

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 ddg augment will save them

[analog phoenix]

Can we disable cutseen when BB fire maingun ?

[stark quiver]

no

[sinful spruce]

Who do I replace with Yorktown 2

[pseudo hearth]

That’s a loaded question. First, what is each fleet for?

[stark quiver]

whys that the first ark emote i have

[sinful spruce]

1st one is for boss fleet, 2nd is for clearing

[stark quiver]

is york2 even max limit broken

[sinful spruce]

Campaign I mean, and yes it is

[stark quiver]

cool replace ark royal
but truth be told, the vanguards need a do over

[sinful spruce]

Grinding for yuudachi to replace z23, have these vanguards if anything is good for replacing what I have

[rapid summit]

Can you do multiple researches at once?

[pseudo hearth]

What are you referring to?

[stark quiver]

you can queue researches

[pseudo hearth]

Are you referring to unlocking research ships?

[rapid summit]

Yeah in research academy

[stark quiver]

you should not grind for yuudachi cuz its a waste of oil honestly

lets see
Roon, wakatsuki, blucher for boss
Portland, laffey, sandy for mob

[sinful spruce]

Ty

[pseudo hearth]

Research academy, yes, you can queue multiple researches

[rapid summit]

Ty

Btw should I get blue prints now or get the tech points?

[viscid swift]

I don't see how the 2 are mutually exclusive so both

[rapid summit]

Ok ty

[prisma torrent]

How to make a proper mob fleet and boss fleet

[sharp socket]

mob fleet: unicorn + your 2nd and 3rd best ships
boss fleet: your best ships

alternatively, send us your dock and someone will get to you

[prisma torrent]

Alright Will do in the afternoon, Im outside rn

(i use bluestacks)

[wind hazel]

wow PR8 reveal

[turbid marsh]

pr8 is out

Hopefully she is not another napolis

[viscid swift]

Nah

She has airstrikes among others

Also I wonder if she's been mislabeled

Because she should be a large cruiser not heavy cruiser

[sharp socket]

wait shes not CL

oh its the CA line dutch cruiser, not the hybrid?

[late flame]

brest 2.0

[viscid swift]

There are no Dutch hybrids

[sweet delta]

friendship broken with Lion 🤝❌
now Golden Lion is my new best friend 🤝

[viscid swift]

In the sense they don't actually launch the planes and you the player don't control them

[sharp socket]

false alarm then, im 0/5 still for predictions

[viscid swift]

She'll probably just have a wide AoE airstrike she calls in from off acreen

[sweet delta]

CN announcement says CA

[viscid swift]

Weird

[plain saffron]

You can queue but only 1 running at a time

[viscid swift]

The devs are just stupid then/s

[marsh sparrow]

what is decisive means

[ivory pawn]

UR but from Research.

[turbid marsh]

Throws oranges instead of torps

[eager mulch]

CA

cheeky tell me it ain’t real, tell me that it’s a mistake

[turbid marsh]

But she could be Halford 2.0 with aux becoming planes heehee

[viscid swift]

cn and JP are saying it

I mean I think they're going with the logic 283mm is CA

Cause of the Deautculands and P class

[eager mulch]

anyways it’s due time for another IB DR yes? schlieffen time

[inner delta]

[bright tusk]

should i give two same AA gun to zeven? or each slot different?

[sweet delta]

two good AA guns. doesn't matter

[rapid summit]

Ty

[molten zinc]

so now we gonna have an aviation cruiser?

[sinful escarp]

DR Submarine for the lols

[void walrus]

Nah, PR sub for the lols

[sharp socket]

you mean a CV?

[void walrus]

Ohio class for al

[viscid swift]

No

The Dutch cruisers are regular cruisers that can call in aistrikes, not full on hybrids

Her AVI stat is also E which basically means 0

[wind oxide]

So the tech points gonna which factions?

[inner delta]

just wait

[soft raft]

We don't know yet

But it's definitely not gonna be just Dutch considering they have two ships

[wind oxide]

What's the likely guesses?

[void walrus]

NP and IB

[sharp socket]

uhh iron blood

[wind oxide]

I knew it

[viscid swift]

NP makes no sense

Iron Blood because the 1047s she's based on would have used a lot german made components

[void walrus]

I did hear that tulip had help from NP, but I do concede to your expertise

[wind oxide]

Aren't the Dutch like allies with azur lane? So Np does make sense

[viscid swift]

Like the main guns which are basically just Scharnhorst guns

[wind oxide]

Ohh I see

[pseudo cloud]

Ok so I’ve been saving these cubes is that announced character a limited?

[void walrus]

RN and IL make about as much sense

[inner delta]

research

[viscid swift]

She's a new PR ship

[sharp socket]

well it depends if you want historical or in lore which the latter is a mess anyway

[viscid swift]

She'll be permanent

[void walrus]

She's a research ship, so you have until EOS/the apocalypse to get her

[late flame]

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

[pseudo cloud]

Ok would it be ok to use the cubes on her?

[inner delta]

you can't directly pull her

[viscid swift]

You literally just grind for her

[inner delta]

click the link for research

[late flame]

if you want to waste cubes on prints sure

[viscid swift]

Only cubes you need to spend is 10 or so to finish unlocking her

[idle gull]

How can I get Tosa’s “a glimpse of greatness” skin

[late flame]

wait for news on the skin rerun, or black friday sales

[wary lake]

Is Gouden a PR ship?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[wary lake]

We're getting series 8 then next??

[rapid summit]

How to tell if a ship can tank or not?

[wind hazel]

look at their stats, skills

or just look at the ehp chart

[pseudo cloud]

Ok I think I understand it a little better

[fast steppe]

how do I unlock this

[wind hazel]

enhance it to 10

oh uh, i think you havent unlock the skill or something

nvm im wrong on both

[rapid summit]

Alr ty

[wind hazel]

scroll down

[slow fox]

or you can ask the eHP chart

[fast steppe]

oh so it's an either or

[wind hazel]

the grey is basically the old one

[fast steppe]

ah

[stark quiver]

bruh pvp person

[viscid swift]

Yes

[honest stirrup]

The grey is the one that applies if you didn't retrofit your warspite

[vague oracle]

coins not allowed aftr pr6?

[stark quiver]

no

[vague oracle]

welp its gonna take me forever

[wind hazel]

just skip PR6

come back later

[sturdy oak]

Is admiral zenker worth pulling for?

[wind hazel]

depends on how many cubes you have

[void walrus]

Eh

She's a buff ship that wants the flagship slot
and a variable barrage

[sturdy oak]

Hmmm…i have a few but may wanna save for research or future URs? Who are the upcoming expected URs?

[sturdy oak]

Which ships buff better?

[void walrus]

[wind hazel]

nobody knows, it's on September. but there's also a collab coming

[sturdy oak]

Ohh. Oh welp

[wind hazel]

if you have less than ~400-500 cubes, i suggest to skip. otherwise max 2-3 pull a day and that's it

[void walrus]

No clue, but the flagship slot is limited so you're better off with more general buffers

[sturdy oak]

Alr will do tyty

[wind hazel]

if it's double digits then definitely skip lol

[sturdy oak]

Also about tulipa’s eversten
Is her healing viable at all?

[sturdy oak]

I only have a few hundred but i dont really need her badly so yeah

[wind hazel]

dont think you should be even using her at all

[sturdy oak]

Alr

[rancid drift]

Returning player here, is there an event coming up ?

[wind hazel]

we're in one right now

[eternal moth]

There always is, you have to be more specific

[balmy skiff]

after Haku,who next?
finish whole pr4 or focus on someone else in other pr?

[idle gull]

How many cubes is it gonna take 😭 as a Dragon Ball Legends player, I’ve pulled insane units off way lower pull rates, haven’t pulled anything good out of a ton of cubes bro

[eternal moth]

If you have fewer than 400 I would save your cubes

[sharp socket]

for UR events its 400 cubes max for the UR

[wind hazel]

there's no pity so it's up to chance

[sharp socket]

if not UR event just pray because no pity

also best not to drop below 400 cubes so that you can guarantee a UR when it comes

[eternal moth]

This event, I had to use about 200 for both ships. You may get lucky and pull them both in the first 10 pull, or you may have to go even harder to get them. It's all RNG

[idle gull]

Btw, does this banners pity carry over to the next one?

I’m new btw lol

[wind hazel]

banners count dont carry over in this game

[eternal moth]

There is no pity, that's for perma-UR

[idle gull]

Oh I see

[sharp socket]

you get points for a perma UR

but there is no pity or anything like that for the banner thats up

[eternal moth]

There IS a pity system for UR events, though, which is why we say to keep at least 400 cubes

[sharp socket]

also we say pity but its more of a spark system if you know what that is

[idle gull]

Never heard of that one actually

[idle gull]

Good to know, thanks for the info

Man 400 cubes is gonna be hard to grind up f2p

[eternal moth]

Not really.

[sharp socket]

every pull just adds a point to the UR exchange, after 400 cubes you can exchange for the UR

[fast steppe]

opsi fleets

[idle gull]

What’s the best methods

[sharp socket]

theres no increasing rates for more pulls type stuff

[sharp socket]

do your dailies, thats literally it

[eternal moth]

You get a minimum of 168/month just doing dailies and weeklies, and you can get more from comms and some special events

[sharp socket]

168/month for doing dailies and logging in

[idle gull]

Alright awesome, I was a little dumb and went full swing into this banner and didn’t realize I should’ve saved 😭

[eternal moth]

It's fine, we just finished a UR event so it should be a couple more before we get another one.

[idle gull]

Ahh Alr bet

[eternal moth]

This game's actually pretty F2P friendly, and you get plenty of resources as long as you're careful

[ocean pilot]

new ships are yay or nay? willing to pull but idk about meta wise

[late flame]

skippable

[balmy skiff]

what tier taihou was in pre-augment?

[wind hazel]

tier not recommended

[wind oxide]

Trafalgar is ok for most meta bosses right but what about those that can stack eva rate?

Will she still be used or will she be swapped since her 10% eva rate debuff is really good

[wind hazel]

depends on what gimmick is next

[wind oxide]

I'm not asking for future uses but we can discuss about current metas too for example hornet meta

[wind hazel]

i already forgot what we used there

[stark quiver]

Low Eva rate is always good
And she has another good skill too

[stark quiver]

Wasn’t it sniff with like z52,unzen,ply

[wind hazel]

but she should be good in hornii too. good AA

[wind oxide]

Ayee

[wind hazel]

oh yeah, with CV

i used helena

[stark quiver]

I used PvP fleet

[rapid summit]

Does the event give good exp?

[wind hazel]

no

[wind oxide]

You don't farm event for either xp/gold

[wind oxide]

Didn't helena get squished easily tho?

[wind hazel]

no, there's almost no vanguard pressure

[wind oxide]

Then what about jintsuu

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 idk i dont remember her because i did her in my newbie days

[stark quiver]

What about jintsuu

[wind oxide]

Same topic as hornet

[stark quiver]

Idk where you’d fit trafalgar

Unless you decide to replace aurora like this meta fight

[wind oxide]

It's whether if she's bad or still decent to use but ig it's decent like mori said

[stark quiver]

She’s good
You should
Put her in lars calc and see how she compares to aurora

[humble iris]

why do high level people use very weak teams in exercises? Is this some sort of bait?

[wind hazel]

exercise def is meaningless, that's why

[wind oxide]

Troll fleet

[stark quiver]

Because I think it is funny

[humble iris]

oh thx

[wind oxide]

Ok

[cyan bloom]

Is siren stronghold harder than tier 5 abyssal?

[wind oxide]

Corr 5 is like level 100 and strongholds are like level 120+

[cobalt rapids]

no because u can quit heal and go back

[cyan bloom]

Alright, ty

[wind oxide]

Is lion good for mob fleet besides chapter 15?

[cobalt rapids]

good everywhere yea

[wind oxide]

Are you sure? Coz if you put two healers on the fleet don't they die fast?

And lion also doesn't tank their damages

[late flame]

why would you want 2 healers in a fleet?

[stark quiver]

Just kill the enemy before they kill you

[wind oxide]

Hypothetically like unicorn and aquila

[wind hazel]

what's wrong with lion unicorn aquila

[late flame]

change aquila planes maybe?

[wind hazel]

even if healer aquila, it still sounds like a very good mob team

[cobalt rapids]

i mean if that were true it would invalidate any other bb besides musashi
if u run something squishy they might be more prone to dying yes ( like having a revealed zuihou in ch14 without musashi would lead to her getting focused fire ) but its not certain death

[wind oxide]

Are you saying good but not the best option?

[cobalt rapids]

when it comes to campaign mobbing musashi and raffa are the best but lion is somewhat close after yes

[wind oxide]

Ok

[stark quiver]

Musashi helps back line survive
Raffy doesn’t, but helps vanguard survive
After that, you’d just pick the ship that does big damage, who happens to be lion, and her lion flame is good for mob clearing too

[wind oxide]

Yes yes that's what I wanted to know

[nocturne horizon]

I want to know, for Opsi do i just slap the best units i can in a fleet or is there a formula?

[stark quiver]

They would want synergy

[nocturne horizon]

I see

[sharp socket]

good ships come over synergy

[nocturne horizon]

And i saw some people making fleets with just BB and some with just carriers is that viable

[cobalt rapids]

the fromula is highest damage

[sharp socket]

please don't faction fleets for opsi

[nocturne horizon]

I dont,i learned that lesson

So fleet one can be BB only and fleet 2 can be carrier only?

[wind hazel]

ironic but opsi is the one place to faction fleet

[nocturne horizon]

Oh ff some say its bad some say i should

[wind hazel]

it's bad, but it's the one place where you can use faction fleet and still beat the boss

[stark quiver]

Say for example

Alsace,lion, biszwei is a really good BB combo
A full cv fleet for example is
Implacable,shinano, amagi cv

[wind oxide]

Then you should try making one and see

[wind hazel]

basically your place to have fun

[golden moth]

So pr 8 is coming sooonerr

[wind oxide]

I try various fleets in opsi coz it's easy

[cobalt rapids]

is it

[nocturne horizon]

I have all of them except Impalacable

[wind oxide]

For me it is

[cobalt rapids]

i meant the pr8 comment

[wind hazel]

yeah new ship revealed #game-news

[nocturne horizon]

New ship UR?

[stark quiver]

Opsi is pretty easy in the grand scheme of things
You can run a faction fleet of say
Zwei, uvh, fritz
Z52,emden/some ship, hinden and probably win against most if not all content

[wind oxide]

Any decent or good CAs in the game?

[golden moth]

Its the same style yea that al will reveal the new ships slowly not in one go yea

[stark quiver]

There’s a lot of decent or good cas in game

[wind hazel]

DR, research ship

[cobalt rapids]

yea but last year we got it on 11th so unless we dont get it this week then we get it on 10th which is just like last year and not sooner

[nocturne horizon]

Oh, any tips on how to easily get eagle union tech points

[wind hazel]

that's still considered soon isn't it

[boreal wagon]

they said sooner tho

[wind hazel]

damn er

[cobalt rapids]

so is it this week or next week ?

[boreal wagon]

we dont know

[cobalt rapids]

[wind hazel]

try to get backline ships first, like BB or CV, max limit break them

im guessing it's after this event end

[wind oxide]

If we compare in content wise like meta boss fights, arbiter
Do they like form the best fleet in any content or just decent?

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Fleet_Technology#tabber-tabpanel-Eagle_Union-2

[cobalt rapids]

unzen has been the best in alot of meta boss fights since her release

[stark quiver]

They can be in best fleets
Take unzen, napoli, whichitam, etc
Anchorage

[wind oxide]

I see

[south sequoia]

Curious do you guys frequently still use tanks or do you just opt out for supportive vanguard options + eldridge and let the enemies explode?

I don't really see much people use napoli

only time I see CB's and tank CA's is for like campaign

[cobalt rapids]

if u mean showdown then i use just the best comp that is available which has been z52 since her release

[atomic abyss]

Simply put, not much in the game requires her level of tankiness

The mentality of some here can basically be summed up as "if she aint dying, she's a tank"

Which is basically why some here call Plymouth a tank

[south sequoia]

Ahhh

[cobalt rapids]

i call sirius a tank

[atomic abyss]

That said

For kawameta in particular

[wind oxide]

So like if you can just bam the boss without much Vanguard pressure then they're not needed

[south sequoia]

so if you don't really need that much upfront tankiness it's better to opt for more supportive/dps options for the front to assist your back?

[atomic abyss]

If you missed eld retro, napoli is pretty much one of the few things that can hope to see thru the end of the boss

[cobalt rapids]

not really even the best comp in showdowns tend to go down to the last second
its just a case of lesser tankier ships tanking enough already while also providing more value to the teams dmg contribution through pers dps and/or support buffs

[ocean pilot]

should i clear all sirens missions? i have a lot of resources but not the UR card for craft UR gear (with question marks)
idk if i can get them from clearing missions

[cobalt rapids]

clear anything with an icon above

[ocean pilot]

is it ok if i skip daily? just clear chest and the stage that need 200 AP?
imo its just "trash"

[cobalt rapids]

dailies can give u loggers and coords which are worth to do

but its like the last day atp but for next month u should do all ur dailies ( because they cycle from a pool )

[ocean pilot]

oh what about voucher after reset? more items in storage = more voucher?

[cobalt rapids]

well kinda yes, altho some items convert to 0 so having more of them does nothing

[signal fog]

anyone else feel that game easily broken now ? as in when fighting then it's not moving

[cobalt rapids]

dk what u mean

[signal fog]

i'll try screen record

last time i know it's from SSSS iirc

[fair lance]

Are you using an emulator if so which one?

[signal fog]

LDPlayer, sorry video looks bad, tornado and the petal should be still animated

[cobalt rapids]

ah the bug where they keep stacking bullets

[signal fog]

but the timer not decreasing, and they are not moving

[cobalt rapids]

ive seen it happen but its so rare
also didnt happen lately so idk
maybe try switching to mumu

[atomic abyss]

ldplayer issue

[cobalt rapids]

it happend on mumu aswell

[signal fog]

i see. i'm doing H 13-1 it's stuck, relogin doing again stuck again. maybe emulator issue then, thank you

[nocturne horizon]

A carrier fleet like this?

[cobalt rapids]

replace eugen muse with something else

[nocturne horizon]

What would be recommended?

And is eugen muse bad?

[cobalt rapids]

something tankier as a blank statement without knowing ur dock

[nocturne horizon]

Ok

[cobalt rapids]

yea shes not good

[nocturne horizon]

Ah almost like the original Eugen

[sinful escarp]

how about kazagumo and sirius

[cobalt rapids]

at least the original can tank

[hoary relic]

i crafted 10rai and wyvern, what should i craft next? mk7?

[nocturne horizon]

Algerie maybe?

[cobalt rapids]

mk7 is low prio, only when ure rich enough to afford to +13 it ( and its low prio for +13 guns aswell )

[cobalt rapids]

not alge, it would be easier if u show ur dock in a thread

[hoary relic]

🤔 so mk6 is an alternative if u dont have mk7?

[cobalt rapids]

ye

[fair lance]

If you're fighting light yeah

[hoary relic]

what about twin 457?

is it necassry if i alr have champy guns?

[cobalt rapids]

1 copy of 457 is good QoL to have for campaigning but u can also get it from protocore if u spent them wisely

[hoary relic]

🤔 then i guess ima save up for 10rai then

i have enough BB main gun ig

[nocturne horizon]

Fleet assist

[cobalt rapids]

beyond 2 tenrai its also luxury and not rly worth

[nocturne horizon]

There is my thread and dock

[hoary relic]

dawg idk what to craft now lol, maybe i'll keep saving up then

[late flame]

saving up is good

[wind oxide]

That's what I said

[cobalt rapids]

in terms of ur gear then u want something like this in ur depot
2-3 wyverns
2 tenrais
1 457
1-2 100kai
2-3 twin 76
1-2 mk7
but ofc theres some other gold gear that will fight for mats so consider that aswell

[white agate]

wait , if i did not get any gold tulipa ship except the one on the shop does that mean i am screwed?

[wind hazel]

unlikely

[fair lance]

Maybe, but I highly expect she will need other faction points.

[cobalt rapids]

i meant that even if there is vanguard pressure and the ship dies as long as she tanked enough then its fine
like eldr dying 10-20sec before the fight ends in kawakaze meta showdown is fine and you dont need to replace her as long as the more important members survive and the backline completes the rotation

[white agate]

i surely have those, only prob is tulipa had 1 event

[cobalt rapids]

thats why they are suspecting it wont require tulipa faction pts and instead it will be mixed from other factions like this

[white agate]

good, since i just checked and apparently i did got noone

[rancid raft]

I need a little help with meowoficers my cattery is full and I still haven't figured out a way to get discard them, how to do that ?

[cobalt rapids]

you feed them to other cats

[zinc turret]

use them for food for another meow

[balmy skiff]

yo who's next after finishing haku?

[cobalt rapids]

fdg aegir anchorage avp done ?

[balmy skiff]

only Agir FdG and Ancho

[cobalt rapids]

avp then

[balmy skiff]

after AvP?

[late flame]

lets cross that bridge once you reached there

[balmy skiff]

what?

[late flame]

finish avp ask again

[balmy skiff]

let's be honest.
just how shit Halford is because of a bug?

[late flame]

even if no bug halford isnt outstanding

[cobalt rapids]

worse than a starter type sht

[balmy skiff]

defo a potential woman meme incarnate for real.

[late flame]

on the bright side devs only took uh..4 years to fix the bug with lil' illustrious* (my bad lol) so there is hope

[cobalt rapids]

u mean lil lusty

[warped hazel]

hello, who is next for ur rerun?

[white agate]

unzen i think

[atomic abyss]

yes unzen

[balmy skiff]

can u explain the bug of halford?

[atomic abyss]

planes launch from herself as opposed from the back of the map

so they dont deal damage to anything

[wind oxide]

Ahh thanks I understand

[warped hazel]

now halford is in discussion, how she is?

[sharp socket]

FdG -> Anchorage -> Agir -> Hakuryuu -> AvP -> Plymouth -> Brest (if w15) -> Shimanto (if w15) -> Nakhimov -> anyone else you want (harbin, napoli, kears, hinden, etc)

[white agate]

isn't strasser with aug basically a comparable of avp now?

[sharp socket]

other good things include ibuki and bayard

for tech gascogne has +2 bb rld

[robust nymph]

anything i should go for?

[cobalt rapids]

no shes not

[fair lance]

They're all not that good. If you care about tech get Junyou, Hiyou > Fusou, Yamashiro > rest.

If you don't care pick one that looks cool.

[robust nymph]

are the 2 items that cost 5 each useless?

[fair lance]

The books are for leveling skills for METAs quick the box is just for META enchance materials.

[atomic abyss]

ignore meta shop as a new player

[robust nymph]

ill take the occasion to ask also about these 2 shops, i noticed the monthly one (2nd pic) also sells a lot of gold gear which i dont have much so maybe worth it?

[atomic abyss]

/coredata

[fair lance]

/coredata

[odd root]

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/images/equip_misc/Core_Data_Priority.jpeg

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/images/equip_misc/Core_Data_Priority.jpeg

[atomic abyss]

prioritise stuff in red

[robust nymph]

how many of those big bullets do i want to own?

[atomic abyss]

3 pairs

3 white 1 black at minimum

[robust nymph]

damn unfortunate there were some cute ships

[atomic abyss]

you can get them when you have no issues clearing basic content

[tame jungle]

fortunately they don't really tend to go away and at a certain point you'll be drowning in core data anyways

[robust nymph]

oh thats nice to hear then, ty!

[sinful escarp]

yeah, and i always buy the white and black shells and i still had enough to buy those ships so its all good

[robust nymph]

why does it always say available 5 even if i can run 1 at a time?

[atomic abyss]

you can queue them

[fair lance]

You can queue them if you complete the requirement

[atomic abyss]

with the convenient button that says queue

[vale spindle]

research queue, click queue and u can add more

[icy sphinx]

This let's you have multiple proyects, altrough only one at a time get's researched

[robust nymph]

am i blind? i dont see queue button

[icy sphinx]

Put confirm

[vale spindle]

Go to the project u paid for then click queue

[fair lance]

That one isn't started

[atomic abyss]

go back to the one you started

[wind oxide]

Yea don't do that

[icy sphinx]

After that you get 2 bottons, red one and blue one, blue one is for queue

[wind oxide]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/research/

Take a stroll thru this

[robust nymph]

will do! also one thing: in the war archives im pretty sure once you clear last boss you unlock auto-search wtc which comes with oil fee reduction, but if i do multiple sorties it will show me full oil price, is it going to be reduced though? not sure if im clear

[vale spindle]

auto search does not equal fuel cost limit they are seperate

but the fuel cost limit if there is one does apply to all runs and the oil cost estimate is the cost of all runs combined
if u are using submarines it can estimate higher cause it assumes submarines every battle which is unrealistic

[nocturne horizon]

I want to know, how do so.e of you manage to build fleets so good, i just slap the strongest units together and pray for the best

[robust nymph]

how do you get the oil cost reduction? is 3 starring the map worth it or can i do my 60 runs for the sr ship without getting all 3 stars?

[vale spindle]

100% on a stage that has it and u get it for all future clears of the stage

Game tells u if the stage has it, wiki does as well

stars are only for mission rewards if u dont see mission rewards then dontget stars

[robust nymph]

oh alright! last thing: how do i set fleet1 to be "escort only" and fleet 2 to kill boss?

[wind oxide]

Just center around your strongest ship and look for synergies

[vale spindle]

click role tab on right side

[cobalt robin]

Click on role

[vale spindle]

Escort is all mob flagship is boss only

[robust nymph]

awesome perfect

[nocturne horizon]

Except with some ships like Bismark, or thats what ive been told

[wind oxide]

I bet you've been told everything

[nocturne horizon]

And understand nothing

[vale spindle]

some ships are just bad overall

synergies are only worth looking for if the effect is drastic

Better off throwing together high rated individual ships in a fleet

[nocturne horizon]

So some faction fleets are worth it? And other shios might benefit ships in other factions better than their own faction

[vale spindle]

faction fleets are never worth it

[cobalt robin]

They so ass sadly 😔

[nocturne horizon]

Is it because of the lack of benefit

[sinful escarp]

only reason to use faction/semi-faction fleet is for pr grinding

[vale spindle]

by drastic improvement I am referring to buffs like yat sen gaining massive tank from sorteing with another chinese ship

[atomic abyss]

in short, yes

[vale spindle]

all the current faction buffs are not high enough to justify low personal damage

[atomic abyss]

you restrict your comps waaaay too much for it to be worth

[nocturne horizon]

The same for the cat faction buffs, yes?

[wind oxide]

Synergies centered around your strongest like traf to lion are worth it

[vale spindle]

if a good ship does have a faction buff its more icing on top of cake rather than something you build around

[atomic abyss]

the buffs they provide do not outweigh either the individually bad ships or the restricted team comps

[vale spindle]

Yes see the icing on cake analogy i made earlier xd

[cobalt rapids]

i build around shinanos buff

[atomic abyss]

the best "faction fleets"
are the ones that are like, 3-4/6 of that 1 faction

[nocturne horizon]

Ah, now some cats are going to the bin

[robust nymph]

speaking of how do you discard cats i was looking for it and couldnt see it

[tame jungle]

cannibalism

you can use trash cats as fodder xp material for other cats

[cobalt robin]

My arbiter was standing still for like 15s, that's not normal right?

Or I was lagging maybe

[sharp socket]

some faction buffs are good, like york2 needing 2 other eagle union ships

those 2 being something like enterprise and kears

[cobalt robin]

Wasn't shooting either, my ships were tho

[cobalt rapids]

hermit stands still for the first 23s or so

[cobalt robin]

Oh damn

I'm doing normal arbiter

[tame jungle]

normal arbiter is also hermit

[cobalt rapids]

if its its ur first arbiter its always hermit otherwise it depends on the month

[cobalt robin]

Yea ik just wanted to mention it

Bro does no dmg but so tanky bruh

[robust nymph]

is there a way to make it change fleet once fleet1 runs out of bullets?

[tame jungle]

nope

[cobalt robin]

I don't think so

[tame jungle]

however you can continue to fight once you're out of ammo, you just do less damage

[robust nymph]

yeah which makes the fights take longer and also a bit risky since im forced to use some lower level ships, i see!

[tame jungle]

what chapter are you at

[robust nymph]

just farming war archive d3 for a ship i want

[nocturne horizon]

Is it worth it to invest in atago or takao

[cobalt robin]

Not really

[nocturne horizon]

Oh, shame

[cobalt robin]

They're not great and since they're both sr, it's not worth the investment unless you're end game player and want the tech points

[nocturne horizon]

First attempt at BB fleet

[tame jungle]

don't use ships that aren't MLB

[cobalt robin]

For opsi?

[nocturne horizon]

No just campaign at the moment

[cobalt rapids]

why are u not using the fleets i recommended to you in the thread?

[nocturne horizon]

I have them, i just want to see what happens when i try myself and it didn't go optimal

Yeah, for now i shouldn't try myself i guess

[wind oxide]

Now i know why u keep asking

[nocturne horizon]

Kinda dumb isnt it

How do you grt the blue blueprints

[wind oxide]

Handbook > dev missions

[robust nymph]

is the gear craftable in gear lab unique or its just gear that you can also open from chest?

[nocturne horizon]

Ok thanks

[wind oxide]

No there are many gears in gear lab which is not obtainable from tech boxes

but for some gears to craft you need the initial blue gear from tech boxes for example iris's gears

[robust nymph]

i constantly fear using materials that i may need later and i dont know if its an ok fear to have

[tame jungle]

honestly it's a fine concern to have in this game (and already puts you ahead of a lot of players we see in here, just saying)

[robust nymph]

alright, will see how it goes. also is any of these 2 a good option?

[atomic abyss]

left is decent as a HE CA gun for stuff like saint louis, right is not

[robust nymph]

or actually i guess nothing stops me from crafting both since im using mats that are literally for those exact pieces of gear

besides the 2 big boolets i just got, is any of these really good and im missing out by not giving it to someone?

i have the gear guide that im looking at rn but there is so much in it im getting dizzy

[cobalt rapids]

why do u have 25 prints of the left gun

[robust nymph]

i have no clue i suppose i got them randomly somewhere

[cobalt rapids]

u get them either by focusing pr1 or by trading protocore for pr1 prints in shop
neither of which should be done

[robust nymph]

o wow super helpful ty

[robust nymph]

i just finished doing neptune so i guess thats why? i couldnt start any higher pr ship i have no tech points

[cobalt rapids]

building pr1 ships has nothing to do with season focus

u shouldnt be focusing s1-3 in the academy at all

[robust nymph]

im searching her right now, it might have been on neptune for years while i didnt play the game. if not i have no idea

[warped acorn]

how much % better is proto bf109g vs f6f hellcat against double boss

[cobalt rapids]

well ur focus is VII so thats ok
kearsarge in the background is not a focus thats just catchup which is a different mechanic

[cobalt rapids]

what armor

[warped acorn]

heavy

[cobalt rapids]

then bf109 is not better at all

[warped acorn]

oh

[robust nymph]

the 4 ones with no x or yes is there a reason why?

[atomic abyss]

niche stuff that may have use

they're not bad, they're just not generally used outside of when you need to use them

[cobalt rapids]

sg is for helena retrofit only
hedgehog is only for asw so only for ch14+
the gold aa is fine to use on any ship till u get better gold aas like twin 113 and quad bofors

[warped acorn]

what ship would be good for to aim for pr2 it seems there werent any nice ones

[atomic abyss]

besides fdg?

[warped acorn]

any ig

[atomic abyss]

fdg first

the rest... can be ignored though yes

[warped acorn]

nvm not even ib tech

[woven star]

Question about parallel TB: is it chance to make torpedoes pattern more narrow?

Spearfish\Wyvern... they launch it too wide

[atomic abyss]

nope

[robust nymph]

is it normal to give repair toolkit to all my vanguards?

[reef flume]

Yes for survavivability

[atomic abyss]

for DDs and CLs yes

for CAs, evasion gear is priority

blue evasion gear is cheaper and gives more evasion than the gold sg radar

typically, frontliners want defensive gear only
backliners all out offensive

[robust nymph]

CA and CB are vanguards?

[reef flume]

Yes

[cobalt robin]

CB also double eva?

[cobalt rapids]

every cruiser

cl ca cb

[atomic abyss]

CBs want double eva more than anyone else really

but when gear is limited

toolbox + camo for CL is probably the best you're doing

[cobalt robin]

Yea I have my cls hp and eva

[reef flume]

Build the CA/CB you're using as main tank with a build like this

[cobalt robin]

Using double eva on my tanks but poverty options

[cobalt rapids]

but dont +13 the beaver badge ( especially above a rudder )

[reef flume]

That's fine to do til you get the better options

[reef flume]

Does it change that much if I put the rudder above the beaver badge?

[cobalt rapids]

no but beaver badge is a low prio for +13s

[reef flume]

Only reason I +13ed it was to get more EVA stats from it🥀

[lavish scroll]

Does bismarck zwei heavily require IB fraction? I mlb her but didn't use her

[cobalt rapids]

she requires 0 IB fractions

[robust nymph]

whats better seafang or f6f?

[warped acorn]

is yellow hydraulic steering gear worth +13

[cobalt rapids]

hellcat if both gold since it has better aa ( but same surface dmg )

[cobalt rapids]

yes but not a high prio either

[robust nymph]

so instead of this, is the octuple one that i gave to aurora better option?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[robust nymph]

and this is mid so not worth upgrading further?

[atomic abyss]

extremely mid

[cobalt rapids]

but the gold twin 105s are better than the pom poms

[atomic abyss]

it is one of the worst possible guns on hood

it's worse than giving her no gun at all

[woven star]

yeah, twin 113 or quad 40

[robust nymph]

wait im confused, you replied yes but then said the gold 105s are better. so which one is better?

o gold, the one i had was purple

[cobalt rapids]

the pom poms are better than the purple twin 105
the gold twin 105s are better than gold pom poms
twin 113 is your best gold aa gun
quad bofors are after

[robust nymph]

any of this a better choice? and is there a better ship to give the quad 356 to?

[atomic abyss]

quad 356 is shit

every gold BB gun there is shit

[cobalt rapids]

twin 410mm or mk6

dont even need any other gun till u get ur hands on champy/flandre guns from protocore

[inland shoal]

The 2nd gold BB from the right is not that bad

[atomic abyss]

wait let me repost that

[late flame]

kgv

[wind oxide]

She has the event gun and it's actually good but a little faster than 410

[cobalt robin]

What's the gear I should get first from gear lab

[cobalt rapids]

2x wyvern and 2x ju-87 d4

[inland shoal]

The 2nd gold BB gun from the right is still not bad
Basically a slightly faster slightly lower dmg alternative to twin 410

[cobalt robin]

Alright

[woven star]

btw sometimes much easy get 1 Wyvern and 1 Spearhead... idk how it's better

[cobalt rapids]

its not better and spearfish is not a high prio or good investment for new players

[late flame]

spearfish consumes too much resources iirc

[robust nymph]

is this better / equally good than f6f or why did i have this equipped over it

[cobalt rapids]

2nd tenrai is the highest prio for t3 ords

its better than the normal 2x500lb planes in both aa and surface dmg

[muted crescent]

I might be going too fast 😭

[inland shoal]

(By virtue of being T0 rather than T3 and we all know that 0>3)

[cobalt robin]

Wasteland wyvern right?

[woven star]

not really, wyvern needs UR air plans while spearhead T3 reports which can be obtained from T2

[robust nymph]

how does the quad magnetic torp do compared to other ones?

[wind oxide]

ordnance are harder to obtain than UR prints man

you get like 1 T3 per month and you can convert mostly only 2 t3 prints from t2 per month

[woven star]

idk. I got more T3 than UR

[cobalt robin]

And the other one is junkers ju 87 d4?

[woven star]

maybe I'm doing smth wrong

[cobalt robin]

Just wanna make sure I got the correct ones

[cobalt rapids]

like 30% better than the 533mm non mag quints

[robust nymph]

o wow

[wind oxide]

just because they're slower and doesnt converge

[robust nymph]

bofors seem to be pretty strong so i suppose theyre better than the gold twin 105mm even if the bofors is purple? (on sirius)

[atomic abyss]

no

[cobalt rapids]

gold twin 105s are better than any purple aa

[forest palm]

gold Quad Bofors are a good Generalist AA Gun

[muted crescent]

for Hard Mode, do I need to have a full 3-3 fleet or I can use the required ships only and go on

[atomic abyss]

the latter

[robust nymph]

oh alright, what about that octuple +10 gold one that i have there doing nothing, is it decent?

[forest palm]

Pompom are bad

[cobalt rapids]

ur worst gold aa but its alr +10 so use it if u still lack

[robust nymph]

no idea why i had it to +10, maybe it was decent option in 2018

[forest palm]

nope

[vernal ore]

wait, this amount of oil is combination of x fleet(s) + submarine deployment?

[forest palm]

should be

[atomic abyss]

it was fine in 2018

weird pick but fine

[muted crescent]

yeah

[forest palm]

even in 2018 we still have Quad Bofos and Roombas

[atomic abyss]

2018 we referred to 105 as the worst of the golds

bofors were seen as best back then

pom pom has high AA DPS but low range

so compensated by mixing

[woven star]

mg UR Plans is more random thing and depend on luck. cos I already got few gears from ordnance while first wyvern got yesterday

[robust nymph]

mm i see

also i have a purple twin 127mm sitting but its +0 so unless the difference is huge between these 2 ill leave this equipped

[atomic abyss]

this one is better than the gold 127 so lol

[wind oxide]

Well it doesnt really matter as for me both of them takes two months to accumulate from 0 to build the specific gun

[cobalt robin]

It takes that long 😔😔

[wind oxide]

Long is relative

[cobalt robin]

For me that's long

But also depends for what

I'm having more fun grinding opsi don't even wanna clear w12 😔😔

[robust nymph]

ok super last question and ill dip to study for each can you tell me which one i should pick for zenker? preferably unequipped but depends

[atomic abyss]

dude

[atomic abyss]

refer to the green ticks here for main gun

secondary use twin 152

AA use a purple bofor ig

[wind oxide]

That's a female from my assumptions

[robust nymph]

oh i forgot how i asked that about hood, sry and thanks!

[blissful hamlet]

did they change the commision or am I high?

[cobalt robin]

You're not high

[atomic abyss]

if you read the patch notes, yes

[muted crescent]

lowk just take Rodney's 406mm for bb main gun

[wind oxide]

Basically one day's daily commisions stay till 12 hours the next day

[muted crescent]

idek why Rodney's got that equipped 😭

[blissful hamlet]

which patchnotes?

[atomic abyss]

last week's...

[atomic abyss]

https://azurlane.yo-star.com/news/2025/06/25/maintenance-notice-6-26-12-a-m-utc-7/

[woven star]

I just mean there is no chance that I spend UR plans somewhere else. but got twin 457, tenrai and spearhead... anyway

[wind oxide]

yea that's just the excess accumulations from you

[cobalt robin]

I still got a shitload of cords do I prioritize the siren cords or the maps

[novel solstice]

You have almost a day left, do them all.

But if yoiu have to prioritize, do the abyssals (red chests on your map) first. Better rewards for your time and AP. And start with the highest corrosion ones and work downward.

[cobalt robin]

Yea I wanna do em all if my ap boxes don't run out before that

[cobalt robin]

Alright

Also should I do all enemies in the corrosive areas or just do objective and leave

[warped acorn]

trash?

[atomic abyss]

no

[cobalt rapids]

no its a good ap cb gun and its the one thats easily accesible

[warped acorn]

cb... nvm then

[cobalt robin]

😔

[atomic abyss]

auto it

auto will kill what is necessary

[cobalt robin]

Alright

[robust nymph]

gear grind looks to be the hardest part, i have more ships than i can gear. enhancing is already quite tight, but getting the right gear first off is probably even more tough, does it get better later?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[rapid grail]

play more and you will get better gear + enhancing will become less of a hassle

[robust nymph]

the feature that suggests you loadouts for a certain ship is so hard to use properly cause i lack most of the items

[atomic abyss]

it's shit

so you shdnt use it, let alone use it properly

[rapid grail]

don't use the ingame gear "rec" feature, 99% of the time it'll be flooded by people who frankly don't know better

just relegate the gear options out of the game

[warped acorn]

prototype bf109g better than f6f hellcat for kawaM?

[atomic abyss]

absolutely

[warped acorn]

oh nice ima use it on unicorn for that boss

[atomic abyss]

uh

no, dont use healers for kawameta

well i guess rafaello is fine but not unicorn

[warped acorn]

well i only have that option unless nelson but ehh my vg

[atomic abyss]

triple BB

[warped acorn]

also how do they count the airstrike time

[atomic abyss]

no. fighter x fighter cd + no. db x db cd + no. tb x tb cd
divide no of planes, x 2.2 x coefficient of reload

is the very simplified formula

[warped acorn]

damn

[sharp socket]

tldr use calculator

[warped acorn]

what is a tldr

[tame jungle]

time to start doing math

[atomic abyss]

too long didnt read = tldr

[cobalt robin]

To restore resolve, do I need to win a battle with that fleet or is winning with any fleet fine

[sharp socket]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/ luckily for you someone already did

[atomic abyss]

any

[cobalt robin]

Thanks

[atomic abyss]

/calc exist btw

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Calculator for precise fleet reload times by mrlar

[warped acorn]

thanks, my brain wasnt working

[normal cedar]

which research focus has the best gold gear?

[atomic abyss]

4

but all of them can be gotten by other means soooo

[normal cedar]

ohh ok, thx

[fleet cosmos]

hi im a newer player and wasnt able to find an answer to this anywhere, is there anywhere a date or time I can see for the Summer Skins? or are they permanently in the shop? like the ones tagged with ''Hot''

[atomic abyss]

those labelled "hot" are permanent

most skins older than 3 years are added permanently

newer skins remain limited, summer or otherwise

[fleet cosmos]

ah okay, is there currently any time limited skins in the shop? cause I cant seem to find a date or timer when they run out

or not atm?

[atomic abyss]

yes there are

they would have a timer

[fleet cosmos]

thanks is this from the Patch notes or what resource is this? ^^

[atomic abyss]

it is from the patch notes

[fleet cosmos]

ok cool, thanks a lot

[warped acorn]

if im in a opsi secured map/stronghold and went to change equipment will it apply instantly

[inland shoal]

Yes

[polar lion]

U guys full fleet or low cost event?

[cobalt rapids]

i press advice

[ivory pawn]

I low costed, if you count 1-1 UR-UR as low cost, to get the mission rewards as low effort as possible. Then just left it there cause if it works it works.

[inland shoal]

Most of the time I value time over oil, so I just do the highest stage with full fleet
And this time the oil cap is 25, not sure how much low costing rly gains you

[polar lion]

So coalition hard full fleet?

[undone plover]

if u dont want to slot in 3 fleets just do hard mode with 1 full fleet without coalition
it is only slightly worse

[polar lion]

Aight yea. Tfw gayme is auto already and I still lazy af to gear 3 full fleets of fodders

[carmine heath]

do subs gain affinity from opsi?

[cobalt rapids]

no

[whole crypt]

how many gold plates can I expect out of this

[turbid marsh]

10?

[sinful escarp]

more than 1

[woven star]

Three fleets with 1-1 UR plus anything which not die. Usually 1-1 can handle

Free exp, 25 oil cap, not bad exp and coins impact

[whole crypt]

bah forget it I'm not holding over

[wind oxide]

It's more than enough to stop at 50k

[sinful escarp]

even for old players its not worth it

[cobalt robin]

I did 60k 😔

[wind oxide]

Should've stopped and focussed on campaign instead

[cobalt robin]

Didn't pay attention and was already at 56k so I just went to 60k

[cobalt robin]

Nah I'm grinding opsi

[lost shadow]

Bc of oil?

[tropic tusk]

no old players wont even need them

[viscid swift]

T5 tech boxes are severely over valued

best you can hope from them is quad mag or steam catapult

[sinful escarp]

its more on the lines that old players dont need the last rewards and its more efficient to go back to campaign maps

[autumn fox]

where is the best place to farm for the t2 ordnance report?

lvl 5-6 safe zones, hidden zones etc?

[wet shadow]

Had some troubles with mumu, which bluestacks version is the best for Azur Lane

[tropic tusk]

is that the lvl up thingy? for ships

[sinful escarp]

its a gearlab mat

[autumn fox]

thats the gold -TOP SECRET- thing

[ivory pawn]

Abyssals > Hidden > Secured like most other useful opsi stuff.

[tropic tusk]

arr that

yea opsi

[ivory pawn]

Iirc Abyssals have a chance to drop them. A particularly good chance if c6.

Whereas for the rest you're mostly relying on cat nodes.

[autumn fox]

is there a certain lvl of hidden zones that dont drop them?

or do even lvl 2 hidden zones drop them?

[tropic tusk]

c3 and c5 do have higher chance

[craggy sorrel]

what can i do with this all item?

[ivory pawn]

Higher level zones have better chances at and potentially more cat nodes, but afaik even c2 hidden zones have a chance. But feel free to skip c2-3 hiddens and just spend that AP on Secured instead.

[tropic tusk]

u have 15h to use them all before the reset timer hits and bye bye all the free mats (do recommand do the rainbow and gold first)

[ivory pawn]

Each Coordinate corresponds to a yellow or red chest on the Opsi map. Going to that region and clearing out the special map will use the item.

[craggy sorrel]

aight thanks guys

[severe tinsel]

Guys, is the new heavy cruiser gonna be an UR ship?

[ivory pawn]

Obtainable through research, yes.

So technically a DR, but same thing really.

[severe tinsel]

New DR?

Thank god.... I don't have enough cube saved up yet.

I thought it gonna be event gacha ship. Thats why i relieved it is not.

[turbid marsh]

decisive ship = research UR i guess XD

[restive mural]

Are there any new player guide?
