[dire kestrel]

She will replace Saratoga?

[worldly pewter]

single until u get better

[robust nymph]

also if i remember correctly between the two 533mm torp guns the magnetic was better right?

[fair lance]

No that's probably for your mob she would go for boss fleet

[ivory pawn]

Kind of. Eventually you'll probably use both on different fleets.

[worldly pewter]

u need to either say the name or the pic

[fair lance]

quad 533mm mag

[worldly pewter]

wait there is a rainbow quint

[dire kestrel]

I'm only at 4-4 lol and use 1 team

[robust nymph]

alrighty, does sandy use repair kits?

[fair lance]

Every vanguard will use a toolkit(exception is boss tank can use bever medal instead)

[robust nymph]

is it a bad thing or good thing

[worldly pewter]

it means that u got the gear from maybe a 5y old event not sure how long it was though since i wasn't around

[dire kestrel]

So for now would I use her on my main team until I get further into the game?

[robust nymph]

yes haha i have messages in this server from 2018

[worldly pewter]

the rainbow quint is very good though but not always

[fair lance]

At this point at 4-4 I'd just use the team you're running right now and push to 8-1 and then think about changing up your teams

[dire kestrel]

Ok thanks

[robust nymph]

do we know when is the next event? which i suppose its when i should pull a lot

[worldly pewter]

most likely the next major one is in sept the jp anni

[fair lance]

Next UR I think is in 2 months.

[viscid swift]

no, it'll probably the Ryza collab rerun toward the end of this month though

[fair lance]

If they have the cubes for that

[worldly pewter]

collab though no tech

just - dock slots

[robust nymph]

last thing before i sleep, never stepped in here and i need to do one for the challenge: what do i do?

[ivory pawn]

Craft any random blue/purple item probably. Unless you can craft something good like a Wyvern or Quad Mags or something.

Blue/Purple mats are a dime a dozen, it's the golds you gotta be a little more thoughtful with, especially electronics.

[robust nymph]

alright thank you

[gaunt cedar]

does the hidden data logger in opsi ticket exhange make it so once you clear a hidden zone you can auto it next time you go there?

[stark quiver]

its not - dock because some collab ships are good
and also theyre gone forever if you dont

[inland shoal]

No, it just explores all hiddens and enables you to strategic search them

[ivory pawn]

Gotta use it first, it's in your storage.

[fair lance]

It makes it so there's no fog in hidden zones so you don't have to scan when you go to them

[gaunt cedar]

is it worth it

[fair lance]

Good quality of life don't need to wait for the timer to go down to scan

[ivory pawn]

It's cheap. Maybe make sure you have enough for the R6 Siren logger (if you can beat them) first.

[gaunt cedar]

alright thanks

[dire kestrel]

I have enough materials to make 1 augment and can put it on Helena or Unicorn. Should I make one and which one? And who would i put it on?

[viscid swift]

don't make any augments for now, save them for unique augments later down the line

[dire kestrel]

Ok thanks

[muted crescent]

guys what are the drop chances for Yuudachi?

[ivory pawn]

Dunno. Tiny though.

[atomic abyss]

/droprate

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: What are the drop rates for __?
A: Map drop rates are unknown and cannot be datamined, due to being server-side. The only one known is 0.75% for Akagi/Kaga (individually) on 3-4. Community data collection suggests the other gold ship drop rates are somewhat similar, however.

Q: Then where should I farm for __?
A: Farm the highest map you can for it. Higher stages give more EXP, upgrade parts, equipment, and shop currency. Community data collection suggests the drop rates are also probably higher on higher worlds.

[muted crescent]

so I'm kinda selling by farming 6-4 for Yuudachi... oof

[viscid swift]

not that you'd really want to farm her to begin with

[muted crescent]

tbf I can't rlly do much else with the oil so might as well

if I could, I'd have OpSi unlocked

[viscid swift]

you finished farming the event?

either way, farm 7-4 instead for more XP

[muted crescent]

I think there's not much diff between 6-4 and 7-4 no?

[muted crescent]

too much oil consumption 😭

can do hard tho (barely and by sweating on manual so ig I could go for that)

[viscid swift]

more XP is more XP

and you don't have oil caps so you're not saving any oil staying in 6-4

[muted crescent]

fair enough

[spring basin]

does anyone know how to use the AL tracker ?

[muted crescent]

speaking of @viscid swift which gives more xp, event hard or 7-4?

[stark quiver]

7-4

[stark quiver]

which tracker?

[spring basin]

i found some ppl using this so ive been eyeing it as well.

[viscid swift]

well what do you not understand about it?

[worldly lion]

Was there not an item that auto clears Opsi?

[stark quiver]

its mostly a tracker for end game players
it tracks amount of ships at 120 or the amount of bonus tech points you have

those on the left are the tech filters, so you can filter by hull type, faction, and tech bonus
left side are just the ships that give tech

they each have the bar under their name that is obtained, max limit broken and level 120

[stark quiver]

the 5000 oil logger in exchange shop removes travel restriction on opsi

[spring basin]

yeah i finally hit endgame ish so ive been looking at it. im lowk confused on where to see the ships that i've like put stats in for bc they disappear and idk where.

[stark quiver]

scroll all the way down on the ship list

[spring basin]

ah thank you. silly mistake on my part.

[wind hazel]

disable update list after change if you dont want it to move to bottom

[strange path]

Is jda worth levelling for tank/offtank ?

[stark quiver]

do you have eldridge retro

[strange path]

I do not

I have anchorage, roon and portland those are my only tanks right now

[stark quiver]

jda is a support ship, for keeping your vnguard alive, you can raise her if you like

[sweet delta]

Probably don't need jeanne for much

[grizzled wave]

best 3 for wolfpack if max level?

[vale spindle]

552 + 2 of 101 37 96

just pick the wife options

[grizzled wave]

awesome thank you

[sweet delta]

552 + 2 of 101 81 96 if not campaign
3 of 96 81 37 101 if campaign

[fleet cosmos]

Hey new player here, whats my best way of farming coins? Ive been told by people to push chapter 9 but havent really been told why or what will unlock once I push chapter 9 xD

[viscid swift]

starting from W9 maps have oil caps once you 100% them so you'll spend less oil to get more coins

ideally though you should aim to push asap to W12 as that's the ideal spot

[fleet cosmos]

ah alright, thanks a lot! that makes sense ^^

[short matrix]

What are good torps to put on the submarines?

[vale spindle]

mark 20 bidder or g7e

[sweet delta]

or

[short matrix]

so any rainbow, the Mark 20, or G7e for tracking? Thank you

[vale spindle]

mark 20 bidder also has some tracking

[sweet delta]

Generally the best play for most players is to turn your brain off and put 6 bidders

With snorkel and/or pressure hull depending on the specific sub

[short matrix]

okay, thanks.

[young bramble]

My game got stuck in the checking for updates screen, is there anything i could do?

[vale spindle]

restart game

check your internet connection too while ur at it

[forest palm]

using mobile data sometimes bypasses it

[sly ibex]

Good day. Do you guys double kit on Trafalgar's Aux?

[sweet delta]

I don't. New players should.

[swift vector]

need help how to get the 4th file entered the zone where it should spawn but its not there for me

[worldly pewter]

the spawn rate isn't 100% and make sure that u are following the right method

also is that the main story or the files ?

[swift vector]

files

[worldly pewter]

i personally forgot how it goes but if u do it right u need to keep spamming the same area

[swift vector]

it only spawns on danger zones so what should i do, when i clear it i cant get it anymore

[worldly pewter]

[sweet delta]

Then wait for next month

[swift vector]

rip

[sweet delta]

? But the fourth file is safe zone only

[swift vector]

im just using a file from some youtuber idk if there is an error in it

[sweet delta]

You are repeating this zone yes?

[fast steppe]

I'm thinking about making some AA guns in gear lab cause I've only got the one sex Bofors and that's it

[sweet delta]

/wiki list of operation

[odd root]

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

[fast steppe]

but idk whether I should jump straight to the rainbow ones or just make more sex bofors

[swift vector]

ah yea then theres an error in it

[sweet delta]

You have all the gold AA guns you need already. Sextuple, twin 113, twin 90, and the main fleet staags

[fast steppe]

is just that one sextuple enough for later world stages?

[sweet delta]

For rainbows, do not craft twin 57, but craft the eagle union 76

[fast steppe]

I'm wondering if I should make a rainbow one now or if my UR prints are better used elsewhere

got 3 wyverns and 3 tenrais, and one each of the Mk7 and 457

[viscid swift]

Go ham on 76mms

[fast steppe]

aight

[tawdry halo]

hi chat, how many blueprints do I need in total to dev30 Anchorage without coins?

[stark quiver]

509

[tawdry halo]

so I still need to do more Anchorage researches

[stark quiver]

cant you do it with generals

[sinful escarp]

thats why we say not to rush pr

the real grind is the prints to fully enhance them

[tawdry halo]

I have 411 rn, and I couldnt focus-research Anchorage anymore for some reasons

[viscid swift]

That's not research focus, that's catchup

And anyway, why can't you just coin her

[tawdry halo]

pretty expensive I must admit 😔

[sinful escarp]

just do the first couple ones

the discount resets daily

[tawdry halo]

I dont have her yet but I know it's gonna be as expensive as what I checked on St. Louis and Monarch

[viscid swift]

How many BPs are buying a day

[sinful spruce]

is there an op siren guide anywhere I can use? rlly confused about it

[fringe sail]

Hello chat, so I just recently finished MLB-ing HMS Lion

And now which UR ship should I LB Next?

[viscid swift]

Zwei

[fair lance]

My votes Zwei

[fringe sail]

Oki doki, looks like imma drop the priority of Shinano to Zwei then

Thanks

[viscid swift]

You do realize that it's on average more expensive to get BPs from research than coining her 10-15 bps a day right?

[tawdry halo]

so I've been scammed for the whole time?

[fair lance]

You can spend 8k for the gold face and get 3 prints

[molten zinc]

oh PR CL Dmitri Donskoi

[crisp raven]

you said here that you have 411 ancho bps, right? she needs 343 for dev 30. the 508 that alpha mentioned includes her fate sim, which would be an additional 165 on top of the 343. you could dev30 ancho and leave it at that for now. pr8 is right around the corner, so you could wait to see how the new season is looking before continuing with older research ships or swapping to 8. there is so much gold once you get to w12 that i honestly wouldnt waste time doing ancho research. just use gold slowly and set your focus to a diff season.

[honest sequoia]

Can anyone tell me how do u guys MLB URs??

Like do u guys get 1 UR a month then LB it until it’s MLB
Or do u guys save 4 UR Bulins then MLB it in one go

[viscid swift]

I max limit break URs as soon as I get them

[wind hazel]

depends on the account, 4 URin mlb in one go is usually the norm, but sometimes if that UR gonna help your account, like you can 2LB a UR for campaign, then you should do that

[sharp socket]

it takes me 4 months to mlb a UR because im too lazy to do it and only do it if i want to try a different comp for something

[honest sequoia]

So whats the optimal way

[wind hazel]

by showing and asking

[sharp socket]

do it when you need it

[wind oxide]

Impossible

[honest sequoia]

Only have traf as the non MLB
Rest of my UR is mlb

[wind hazel]

1LB traf?

[honest sequoia]

Yea

[wind hazel]

what about the perma pool UR, do you have them? this is what i meant by showing

[honest sequoia]

I have every perma ur

[wind hazel]

it would be easier to show everything you have and we have a clear picture of your current status

[honest sequoia]

Holon

Well I don’t have some URs like Alsace laffey II etc etc cuz I didn’t play during those times

Rn it’s traf that is not mlb

[sweet delta]

Do you have access to 3 UR bulins?

[viscid swift]

Gonna be nitpicky but you're missing Shima

[honest sequoia]

More than 4

[sweet delta]

Then max Trafalgar already

[viscid swift]

No idea why you're waiting then

[wind hazel]

yeah....

i was gonna send this until you said that
wait until you have 3URin, then see if there's any news of any upcoming UR news or rerun. if no, then MLB traf

[honest sequoia]

Im waiting cuz i LB URs once a month

[wind hazel]

i retire UR once a month

[stark quiver]

i buy bulins and instantly mlb

[honest sequoia]

And is specialized core worth buying from medal shop

been missing out on 4 months then

[stark quiver]

its worth to buy when you would like to MLB some URs or save for future URs

[versed notch]

question

how long did it take to get those ships to mlb and level 120+

im new

[wind hazel]

a long long time

[honest sequoia]

Months

[versed notch]

how do you commit to the game

[honest sequoia]

By playing

[versed notch]

yes but... what drives you

[honest sequoia]

Skins

[wind hazel]

"I want to be the very best."
-Ash Ketchum

[stark quiver]

i lie to myself that the game is fun
and i naturally start grinding

[honest sequoia]

There’s a video covering AL on why it’s a boring masterpiece

[versed notch]

arent the l2d skins like 1500+ gems

[wind hazel]

1.2k at most

[stark quiver]

no, only shimantos was

[versed notch]

oh yeah

[viscid swift]

I like collecting ships and the game is a relaxing grind

[versed notch]

i try to play but

[stark quiver]

to be fair, azur lane endgame is just setting up a farm fleet and then sorting
once you get thru the early and middle games, itll be a smooth sail

[versed notch]

gold, cubes, the speed up thingies

i dont have a stable farming stage yet

[viscid swift]

Get to w12

Not a particularly difficult task

[stark quiver]

do more commissions, and spend cubes wisely, for example dont pull on this event

[versed notch]

only at 5-4 cuz idk how to level up my ships past this

[viscid swift]

Just grind

[versed notch]

grind how

[viscid swift]

Repeat the highest stage you can

[stark quiver]

repeat 5-4
or even better, do the event rn

[viscid swift]

Until you can progress

Not particularly complicated

[versed notch]

5-3 barely left me alive

i cant really tell what would be best

[viscid swift]

Limit break your ships, get more levels on them

[stark quiver]

5-1 then
or 5-2
remember to get the stage down to safe threat, which is just repeating the stage

[viscid swift]

Enhance your gear, use better gear, etc

[gaunt cedar]

in order to farm protocore from blueprints do i unlock a ship from pr2 for example, dev to 30 with coins only and then do catchups for that ship until i get 300 bp and convert them to protocore?

[viscid swift]

Use the starter fleet

[versed notch]

i have some SRs and bismarck zwei

[viscid swift]

Yes

[versed notch]

from last banner

[viscid swift]

Yeah no

[versed notch]

everyones telling me not to use bismarck

but why shes a UR

[gaunt cedar]

i see thanks but wouldnt you be fucked if you did catch up first and now you dont have anymore?

[stark quiver]

if cheeky posts that mlb image on light mode im gonna cry

[viscid swift]

Read through that
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/dayonetips/guildshop

[versed notch]

i already have both

but really low level so i dont use em

[stark quiver]

basically, there are limit break levels in a game
and without max limit break, a ship is missing a lot of its stats, as well as main gun mounts, which are just how many times a ship can fire

[viscid swift]

What

[versed notch]

i cant just use low level ships cuz theyll die

[viscid swift]

What low level ships

[versed notch]

unicorn and portland

i also have helena if that matters

[viscid swift]

Well drop down to lower world's where they don't die and start grinding

Use XP packs to level them up, this is what they're best for

[versed notch]

also how do i retrofit them

[viscid swift]

Stick them in the dorm for passive xp gain

By doing the retrofit nodes

You get the mats from among other places hard mode

[versed notch]

my dorm is kinda bad rn

i dont have furniture or anything

[viscid swift]

A little xp is better than no xp

[versed notch]

ok

[sinful escarp]

and dorm is more for morale recovery rather than exp

[fast steppe]

who gets priority for the rainbow 76mm?

[viscid swift]

Your best AA ships

[stark quiver]

in what content?

[sinful spruce]

how do people farm 11-4 for xp? already coming close to losing ships with my base mobbing fleet

[sweet delta]

people don't farm 11-4

12-1 is easier and has better resource drops

[sinful spruce]

coinwise or xp or both

[sinful escarp]

both most

[sweet delta]

coins, chips, augment stones

[sinful spruce]

trying to grind xp for pr

[sweet delta]

i mean 11-4 has 2.5% more exp per oil than 12-1 does

[sinful spruce]

ah, what kind of loadout should I use for 12-1 farming in that case?

[sweet delta]

it's simply not worth the hassle of a harder map with zero chip/stone drops

6 ships who need exp. If that's too weak, then add unicorn

[sinful escarp]

poverty gear with ships at lvl100 is more than enough to clear it (once its "safe")

[sinful spruce]

My unicorn is shit? Idk if it can solo

[sweet delta]

yeah your gear is shit for how high level the ship is. But 12-1 is super easy on safe threat

[whole crypt]

what is a cat

[sinful spruce]

what kind of gear should I have? cuz i'm struggling to get gear lab parts

[severe tinsel]

How do ppl got goog gear?

[sinful escarp]

always keep researches running, opsi, stockpile everything

most gearlab gear are not good just fyi

[severe tinsel]

I do opsi, but it hard to get crafting materials and blueprint (or smth paper like item)

[wind hazel]

put something like golden barracuda, better AA gun if you have any

[sinful escarp]

it builds up over time. just leep doing them

[severe tinsel]

Okeh

[fast steppe]

campaign

[stark quiver]

strongest aa ships then as cheeky said

[fast steppe]

aight

[worldly pewter]

most likely u aren't doing opsi the right way then

[severe tinsel]

How is the right way?

[stark quiver]

clearing everything in opsi
thats kinda it

buildup of resources will be slow when just starting out

[severe tinsel]

Well i alr did...

[stark quiver]

thats fine then

[strange path]

What should i prioritize in the opsi exchange store?

[severe tinsel]

I see... I have played for around a month but still cant craft gold gear yet huhu

[stark quiver]

#gameplay-help message

[worldly pewter]

Lots of FRUITS in this game for sure

What should I use prototype cores on?

What? Mango? Apple? I want a peach

[sinful spruce]

which ones?

[worldly lion]

Papayas and watermelons

[wind oxide]

Holee sheat water melons

[whole crypt]

any maint tomorrow?

[storm olive]

does 100kai still have its 100% burn chance

[cobalt rapids]

seems yes

[whole crypt]

DD guns mostly only used to refresh heavier burns anyway

[wind oxide]

They refresh lion's burn?

[cobalt rapids]

not special burns

[wind oxide]

Heavy burns i see

[cobalt rapids]

just the generic burn started from HE

[wind oxide]

Heavy burns like what?

[cobalt rapids]

like from bb guns ca guns cl guns and dd guns with HE
but refresh is good because they do diff dmg but it means 100kai can permanently keep up a mk7 burn for example

but thats like what 2k more dmg in a fight

nothing gamebreaking

[boreal wagon]

heavy burn in this case just means the burn does more dmg that 100kai
(its not some special form of burn)

[wind oxide]

I see i see gun burns

[cobalt rapids]

i dont know what a heavy burn is, i have never heard that term

[nova crane]

who should i get?

[cobalt rapids]

vanguard if shinano is mlb

[nova crane]

ok thx

[narrow kiln]

I read that ships can share skins with their alternate version... But still, in order to get the wedding skin on the Bismarck Zwei, you need to have Oath on the original Bismarck?

[boreal wagon]

oathing zwei is enough

[whole crypt]

oath skins only work on the oathed copy of ship regardless of oath status of OG ship but if you don't oath OG it won't unlock the archive/library entry
all other skins is affinity

what does blue q mean ?

also why being sad when taking the best gear research task ?

Am i hard-pressed to 3 star every stage in a new chapter?

Or am i good to just blaze through everything until i hit a wall

[sinful spruce]

Shianno or New Jersey with ur invitation

[cobalt robin]

I mean the other one was free, gold rarity and 3 hours and now I'm clearing chap 12 anyway

Otherwise I wouldn't be doing those, just coincidentally showed up when I started clearing w12

Shinano

[cobalt robin]

Nah I'm always spamming the blue q, just was wondering if the other was worth it

who to build for the dev mission

[shell willow]

https://mrlar.dev/s/7411eac38d66c711fac45ebab7fee2a24ae1ce85 is my fp/avi/hit tech like gigabad that i only oneshot kawakaze about 10% of the time?

[whole crypt]

if you're down to 10% it's probably not a tech issue

[undone plover]

Ideally anchorage first
But if u mean in pr3 or have her then cheshire/odin is good

[sacred parrot]

I do have Anch, and I do mean in pr3. Thank you

[whole crypt]

can you work on something from a newer series or are you already done with 4+

or are you just doing to wrap up the research mission

[timid saddle]

What does she do?

[warped acorn]

if for example i completed a pr2 ship however havent done pr1 mission does that still counts into pr2 mission soon i get it?

[crimson glacier]

she does fine single target dmg for ur standards

[slow fox]

-# what about someone else's standards

[sinful escarp]

but at 0LB using a MLB ship is still better

[zenith heron]

I know I am late but, may I have like a copy pasted "best" loadout equipment against KawaMeta

[undone plover]

Iirc it does work retroactively
So u can dev pr2 before pr1 and it should count for later

[warped acorn]

thanks!

[hardy creek]

Which of these royal navy vanguard ships are worth investing besides Trafalgar? I need vanguard ships to farm for Plymouth

[warped acorn]

also which one maybe not worth here for purples?

[hushed sorrel]

to my knowlegde the aiming ones are meta, but there is always a yellow one. so you wont need a purple in endgame

[warped acorn]

oh alr then guess ima just do the purple one simply then

[hushed sorrel]

"Bidder, G7e, or Type 95 Kai" thats copy pasted from w15 guide

[warped acorn]

hmm

[novel solstice]

The purple Mark VIIIs are important because you craft them into bidders in the gear lab, so don't trash those. All other purple torps will eventually be trash when you get the corresponding gold ones.

[hushed sorrel]

i still wouldnt trash them. its a gamble if new reciptes will be released in the gear lab

[sacred parrot]

This. Can't move on to other missions without finishing up dev3

[spare harbor]

should my main fleet have two destroyers or two carriers

[whole crypt]

destroyers are vanguard ships unless you mean battleships
1BB 2CV is more common but it'll depend on what you're doing

[undone saffron]

Is this a good formation? Should i add this girl ulrich there?

[whole crypt]

no and no

Im replacing eugen with portland and why wont it work🙏🙏 just need tips

[whole crypt]

the ships are not LB and many of them are just bad ships

[undone saffron]

Tysm

[sinful escarp]

where your london is now is where the tank should be. ie eugen or portland

[hollow gust]

That entire backline is just bad ships

[undone saffron]

Ohh i thought kaga and akagi paired were good atleast what i thought should i just remove them?

[tropic tusk]

someone has been farming in 3-4

when a skin says "coming soon", how soon is it?

[tropic tusk]

moslty next patch

Those two paired barley beat a enty

[cobalt robin]

Enty my beloved is way better

[undone saffron]

Lmao

Im trying to get her i swear

[cobalt rapids]

up to 1 year, its the default message when a skin is not available

[undone saffron]

Im just not having any luck🙏🙏 btw sooo they do work? Or did i just waste 8 months of my life😭🙏🙏

[cobalt robin]

may you get a enty

[tropic tusk]

if ur new player all u should do is just hope for exchange to show up

[carmine heath]

kawakaze meta any good?

[cobalt robin]

Complete waste

[hollow gust]

Literally just use Ranger or Long Island until you get something like Uni for mobbing or Saratoga for both

[cobalt rapids]

high end of gold dd

[robust nymph]

like its very unfortunate the only skins i want are all coming soon and not sure what to expect lol, formidable's/sirius' and kazagumo's

[wicked obsidian]

hay,,,Any good ship 🛳 on Medal Shop now ???

[hollow gust]

Just wait till November

[tropic tusk]

wt are ur options?

[hushed sorrel]

they were good when they were released. its just that each new ship tends to be a bit better and even more if its a ur. something that wasnt existing at the time of kaga and akagi

[wicked obsidian]

isnt everyone"s the same ????

[cobalt robin]

No

[hollow gust]

It's server based

[tropic tusk]

oh wait u got 2 cv this month ill say entry at least

[undone saffron]

Ohhhhh😭🙏🙏🙏 thx sm for the tips

[spare jungle]

can zwei use HE round?

[wicked obsidian]

Bot list same !!

[cobalt robin]

which subs from medal were good again?

[tropic tusk]

wt bot list same? anyway get entry for the first one

[cobalt rapids]

wdym, all bbs can change their bb guns

[hollow gust]

Akagi muse is a far better ship then Akagi , even then she isn't worth

[robust nymph]

whys it like that? is it always that newer added ships are better then previous ones so old ships become bad?

[wicked obsidian]

yeah..2 CV option both got same ships...And Entry ?? U mean Enterprise?

[wicked obsidian]

whyy

[cobalt robin]

Enty is enterprise

[wicked obsidian]

oww.

[cobalt rapids]

akagi muse is not far better than akagi unless u think 5% avi and a puny barrage makes a ship far better than the other

[wicked obsidian]

who gives better tech points

[tropic tusk]

i think 2 entry is ur option unless u want to collect all ship the just click wht u like

[wicked obsidian]

i am collecting Tech points for sakura empire right now>>

[tropic tusk]

as i recall muse ships dont give tech points

[spare jungle]

No i mean some ships are good with the specific type of ammunition, does zwei prefer one type of ammo? or she could just use all types of ammo?

[tropic tusk]

they give u sakura

[cobalt robin]

You switch ammo depending on the content

[tropic tusk]

@wicked obsidian

[cobalt rapids]

there is very little some and all top BBs change their ammo ( aka gun ) depending on content depending what performs best theres no BB that runs a single ammo type everywhere unless its like an ammo changer like Massa but even then

[normal crane]

Who's the Next UR rerun?

[cobalt rapids]

and zwei has no preference on guns to answer ur question, use the best one according to what ure facing

[tropic tusk]

@wicked obsidian zuikaku and shoukaku gives the most sakura tech points

[cobalt rapids]

unzen is next in line

[normal crane]

Thanks

[hollow gust]

Akagi Muse Req is more lenient in comparison to using another shitter to make Akagi work. And those barrages are actually pretty solid mob fleet. For early game she is a good mobber

[tropic tusk]

if u think about a full 2 year will let u catch up with all URs thats actually not bad

[wicked obsidian]

then i am gonna choose those 2..... I wont be uning Enterprise even if i get her right ???

[cobalt robin]

I'll act like I didn't read that

[cobalt rapids]

early game ure not getting any of her requirements so she is just a +10% avi akagi with a shitty barrage

[spare jungle]

oooh, thanks i guess, asking these questions so i didn't make a blunder..... Again

[cobalt rapids]

shes better but calling it far better is a strech lol

[wicked obsidian]

[undone saffron]

Is she good?

[whole crypt]

very

[robust nymph]

im at 12-1 (unplayable cause of lvl80 commander required): how do i farm gold? i have a lot of oil in the bank and i would like to farm gold with time efficiency in mind

[cobalt rapids]

shes very good for campaign

[wicked obsidian]

i heard ,,,yes very

[undone saffron]

Im planning on retiring all my gold ships for ente

[cobalt rapids]

bad idea

[whole crypt]

repeat 11-4

[undone saffron]

Ohhhhh alr ill lock her thx

[undone saffron]

I have other ships i just dont want to retire the useful ones ill regret

[cobalt robin]

I admire it but no don't

[hollow gust]

Considering how influential tech will be , just spend your gems on dock

[wicked obsidian]

What do U MEAN BY THAT >>>

[whole crypt]

it's just the start of the month just grind fodder to retire

[tropic tusk]

enty is good but not to the point where u MUST get her

[cobalt rapids]

u shouldnt retire original copies for medals ever ever
u only do that if ure strained for dockspace and even then u start with the easy ones to get like commons and blues

[cobalt robin]

my name should be a good guess

[cobalt rapids]

u have like the whole month to farm medals for enty

[wicked obsidian]

ow..F*

[undone saffron]

ohhhh alrrr im just to happy rn ente THE ENTE is on exchange been trying to get her since the start but seems its a bad idea okayy ill follow yalls advice thx sm

[tropic tusk]

i always want to know if lack of dock space which option is better lvl120 ship and retire them or mlb then retire

[robust nymph]

are the muse variants just better versions of their originals?

[split gazelle]

Mlb and 120

[cobalt rapids]

not always

[tropic tusk]

both mlb and 120 gives teach points

[cobalt robin]

he's saying to do both and not one over the other

[tropic tusk]

i mean if u want 120 u will have to mlb

[cobalt rapids]

albacore muse and baltimore muse are sht compared to the originals for example

[undone saffron]

Oh man i have close to enough😔🥀🥀
Yall please pray for me ill give up my life force to get ente🙏🙏

[tropic tusk]

just so u know , even if u get entry u will still have to mlb her to make her useful

so theres no point of u doing wht ur doing now and just farm for more medals as the month has just been started

like u still have 28 days to farm medals

[undone saffron]

Ohhh alrrr i just dont want her to slip from my hands yknow🙏🙏

[cobalt robin]

You have time

[wicked obsidian]

Entry any better than what I am using?? If so will get her

[undone saffron]

Yea i knw that now thx to yall thx sm

[cobalt robin]

you can get her for a 2nd fleet later on

[tropic tusk]

just so u know for futre referance dont lb unless u can mlb on all kinds of ships

[light prawn]

which one should i choose

[split gazelle]

Enterprise

[cobalt rapids]

enterprise + a tech ship like cranes or ryuuhou

[wicked obsidian]

I just got free copys of her so ..I just marged them

[light prawn]

tysm

[undone saffron]

Is cleo good?

I just have her in my dock sitting not sure if i should level her

[wicked obsidian]

Let's get 1 enterprise and one Zuizaku

[robust nymph]

why zuikaku?

i have her and also shoukaku but remember being told theyre really bad

[wicked obsidian]

For tech point

[tropic tusk]

i have no idea

[forest palm]

Cleo is very mid, not a worthwhile investment

[wicked obsidian]

I need a looota Sakura point for my Shimanto

[undone saffron]

Shes gonna continue sleeping in my port then lmao

[tropic tusk]

indeed she will

[robust nymph]

should i get rid of these 2 elite ones that i leveled accidentally back then

i have like 5 sr cats already

[tropic tusk]

have ur buy ur ships in here yet many sakura inside

[undone saffron]

I have these 3 ur ships yet i feel there veryyy good but i cant just put them in a random fleet and call it a day id feel bad should i mlb them even thou i dont really have anything to do it
And should i prioritize leveling them?

[wicked obsidian]

Yeah...I searched wiki and found out the oni like Shipgirl with 1 horn gives lotta Sakura points...more then Zuizaku

[cobalt robin]

Not worth using unless mlb

[undone saffron]

All 3 of them? Should i just wait until i get them to mlb?

[tropic tusk]

if u want shimanto need shit load of tech points for sakura

[cobalt robin]

Not just those 3, no ship is worth using if 0lb

[whole crypt]

Shimanto

also if you want IJN tech then SR BBs/CVs

[undone saffron]

Ohh alr in ur opinion who should i mlb first?

[wicked obsidian]

U guys should tell him MLB gives how much power up...
Cause I underestimated it a looooooot at 1st

[whole crypt]

but anyway JP anniv is almost guaranteed to be an IJN UR event so unless you're really rushing for it just wait for JP anniv

[wicked obsidian]

I know...

[cobalt robin]

It's 150% something like that, it varies a bit from ship to ship

[wicked obsidian]

I bought Shimantos swim dress and it's sitting in dock

[cobalt robin]

I'd be for traff but get a 2nd option

[undone saffron]

Feel like im here rn LMAO

[wicked obsidian]

[robust nymph]

2 questions: how do i go back to try the boss where you can borrow guild members ships? and also what am i exactly looking at here?

[wind oxide]

You dont
the guild boss starts the mission

[undone saffron]

Alrr if i ever get a rainbow then ill use it on her first tysm

[cobalt robin]

0lb ships have like half the stats of mlb so yea it's a big difference

[wicked obsidian]

U'r guild master starts that

[whole crypt]

tap on this

a 0LB ship is usually only around 1/3 of a maxed ship, give or take

[undone saffron]

HALF? GAHDAMN

[wicked obsidian]

Surprised

[whole crypt]

I can't think of any ship that's got as much as half the power of a maxed ship at 0LB

[wind oxide]

Like 30% less main gun eff and 50% less main gun mounts is nothing better

[whole crypt]

depends on the ship but most BBs only have 1 out of 3 of the gun mounts which by itself is already losing 67% shelling damage, besides less FP and slot eff

[cobalt robin]

Only buy the ur bullins when you can afford 4, otherwise it's wasted dock space. Also don't half limit break her either, costs more oil to deploy

[undone saffron]

Last question i promise
She good?

[whole crypt]

carriers tend to be even worse missing most of their planes

[undone saffron]

Where do u buy ur bulins?

[whole crypt]

prototype shop if you have enough specialized cores

[undone saffron]

Ohhh okay

[whole crypt]

URs don't cost more oil to use with LB

[robust nymph]

is any of these worth btw?

[whole crypt]

dormfoodgood

[cobalt robin]

You get the cores just by grinding stages, 5k a month from stages, missions, and 3k from medal shop

[whole crypt]

for the record URs always scale cost based on MLB even if you don't LB them

[wicked obsidian]

Don't we get 5K when we start the game?

[undone saffron]

Sooo abt this do i just stop investing for her? This is my final question i promise i just dont have any idea what im doing

[robust nymph]

also im completely ignoring this cause it seems useless not sure if its not

[whole crypt]

4k

[cobalt robin]

It's just cosmetics

[whole crypt]

there are definitely better and cheaper carriers you can be using

[wicked obsidian]

These only for skin enjoyers

[wind oxide]

Mid skins

[dusty terrace]

worst case it's low effort you can just enter one random minigame and leave immediately twice a week but yeah you can ignore it

[robust nymph]

ah fair enough

[tropic tusk]

thers a arcahde mode where u can earn them, it has not connection to other token/coins

[robust nymph]

and here should i prio warspite weapon since i have her at 124?

[tropic tusk]

UR bullion but dont buy unless u need to use

[whole crypt]

do you have the coins, bulins/dupes and prints to actually retrofit her

[undone saffron]

For now these are my 3 main cvs

[whole crypt]

Warspite retrofit is really not high priority because it's extremely expensive

[robust nymph]

shes already retro and max lb

[cobalt robin]

Sandy retro will be very helpful in W13 and beyond

[whole crypt]

only waiting for sword?

[wicked obsidian]

Did not get the Biginer Fleet from guild shop

[robust nymph]

this my warspite

[grim heath]

Why im playing hard 3 round it's 14?,bug no enemy?

[whole crypt]

then you can't buy the sword

[undone saffron]

GAHDAMNNN

[whole crypt]

the sword is the retrofit item, you can't get another one if you already retrofit her

[undone saffron]

Wdym?

I prob didnt knowing my dumbass

[wicked obsidian]

Like Unicorn 🦄 .. helena

[robust nymph]

huh im confused, so did i miss out cause i retrofitted her already or?

[undone saffron]

Ohh yea i do have unicorn

[turbid marsh]

you are in clearing mode

[undone saffron]

I meant to say dmg cvs

[wind oxide]

Hard mode auto clearing makes you fight the boss only and mobs will not appear

[wicked obsidian]

Oww

[whole crypt]

you didn't miss anything, you just can't buy another one
you can only own 1 copy of rainbow retrofits

[cobalt robin]

Retrofit her asap

[undone saffron]

Shes really good I swear one of the most useful i def have

[wicked obsidian]

Nice..Refort her 1st

[cobalt robin]

She will be one of the most useful throughout your whole career

[grim heath]

How can i fix it?

[undone saffron]

By retrofit you mean completing all this?

[cobalt robin]

Yes

[wind oxide]

It's a feature? And why do u plan to fix a better option?
Also it doesnt matter if you clear 3 stars in hard mode

[cobalt robin]

Unicorn retrofit takes priority

[undone saffron]

Okay thx questions where can i get the things i need faster or just around 1 month i could do it anytime prob

[robust nymph]

bad idea to enhance my first gear to +11 or should i wait

[grim heath]

It's doesn't have enemy,just have a boss

[wind oxide]

That's what i said

[cobalt robin]

Just keep playing, you'll get the prints gradually. Also clearing x-4 in hard mode guarantees 2 gold prints

[wicked obsidian]

This is a goodone.. right Entry enjoyer ..I also have it ??

[cobalt robin]

Was it x-4? I forgor

[whole crypt]

it's one of the better auxes you can be enhancing but no hurry to

[undone saffron]

Youve been so helpful tysm and why did the message just dissappear

[wind oxide]

@grim heath Man 😭 it helps you clear faster alright

[cobalt robin]

Deleted prolly

[robust nymph]

also for the last handbook challenge i need to enhance any weapon but i miss these bricks, where can i gather 4 rq?

[undone saffron]

Alrr ill get to work tysm🙏🙏

[cobalt robin]

Opsi

[cobalt robin]

No problem

Just do any zone

Those mats should drop

Doesn't have to be corrosive zone

[ivory hearth]

is she any good?

[cobalt robin]

Tf is that name

[turbid marsh]

usable but not worth spending resources if you obtained her as a new ship

[ivory hearth]

what i was thinking lol

[robust nymph]

so many ships have italian names i noticed lol

[ivory hearth]

gotchu🙏

[cobalt robin]

I wouldn't use her just cause of the name

[wind oxide]

because they're from the italian faction

[cobalt robin]

Back in my day there wasn't one 👴🏻

[wind oxide]

You're a millenial

[robust nymph]

whats this

[cobalt robin]

Main opsi story, complete it

[wind oxide]

Opsi story mission

[cobalt robin]

Or at least finish chapter 4 since that unlocks everything

[robust nymph]

the area is completed so i thought i was done with it?

[cobalt robin]

No

[whole crypt]

missions get layered onto zones you've done before too, and story missions specifically are their own zones

[robust nymph]

also do i have to defeat ships or just collect the loot around?

[wind oxide]

Who's this month's arbiter?

[cobalt robin]

Both

[whole crypt]

temp

[cobalt robin]

midget is cooler

[plucky ice]

Are buffers even worth putting in a fleet

[turbid marsh]

z52 is always an answer XD

[robust nymph]

do i always deafeat all ships in the area?

[warped acorn]

wait how do i got this screen? didnt got it last month

[cobalt robin]

You get big chest when clear the zone so yes

Unless you're in a hidden zone then just doing objective is fine

[robust nymph]

cause its telling me this

[plain saffron]

for hidden zones you just rush objective then get out

[cobalt robin]

That's a hidden zone, you're done with the objective so collect loot and leave

[robust nymph]

how do i know its an hidden zone?

[wind hazel]

you still had previous store format last month, probably cause you were just finishing the story. you're now in the new store format, it will stay that way from now on

[cobalt robin]

Golden chest

red chest is strong siren enemy, red spiral is stronghold

[warped acorn]

oh damn

[cobalt robin]

You can still clear the regular explorable zone when there's a golden chest icon there

[dusty terrace]

all good new format is much better

[cobalt robin]

Yep

[warped acorn]

true so convenient

[undone saffron]

Small question for yall
Wth
Is an
X-4

[novel solstice]

It's the fourth mission in a world.
1-4, 2-4, 3-4...

[cobalt robin]

x is for any number

[undone saffron]

I was abt to grind

[novel solstice]

It's usually relevant for hard mode, when which mission you do in a world determines whether you get destroyer refit prints or cruiser or battleship or carrier.

[cobalt robin]

you can get 2 gold carrier prints by clearing a x-4 stage in hard mode

[undone saffron]

Ohh alrr thx btw@cobalt robin can you add me just incase seems like my new ass might need help so let me disturb you when ur free lol😅

[cobalt robin]

sure

[narrow kiln]

Can you tell me something about the PBY-5A Catalina?

[forest palm]

it's trash

[plain saffron]

its name is PBY-5A Catalina

[robust nymph]

do i do this 3 times a day?

[plain saffron]

yes

[robust nymph]

its too hard i cant kill it tho for sure

[plain saffron]

doesn't matter if you kill or not, you still gets points

[wind hazel]

1 damage is better than 0

[narrow kiln]

concise and clear.
Just as I expected.

[cobalt robin]

You can doing until you kill it

[hushed sorrel]

by the way how are the rewards for that calculated? i use my same fleet forever and i always get the same amount

[plain saffron]

there's minimum points you'll get no matter how low the dmg is

[plain saffron]

you can't repeat same bosses though, this is assist

[viscid swift]

there are thresholds based on a percentage of how much of the boss' HP you take off

as well as the boss' level

[cobalt robin]

Didn't see that

[robust nymph]

actually how do i get back to this menu i cant find it anymore after i went to check gear..

[plain saffron]

and for own just let other better people kill it or the support barrage

[wind hazel]

meta showdown>click kwkz>boss list

[hushed sorrel]

seems like my fleet is good or bad against everything xD is 73reward for lv 15 good?

[cobalt robin]

For me that never happens so I just kill it myself

[wind hazel]

did you click request?

[cobalt robin]

Yes Everytime

[plain saffron]

or wait

[wind hazel]

maybe you're smelly

[plain saffron]

wtf toxic, modsss

[hushed sorrel]

usually i click request and help 3 other and then look if someone helped me

[cobalt robin]

It takes me less time to clear it

[viscid swift]

well the max you can get from an asist is 75, I think the Threshold was 3/4 or something

[hushed sorrel]

thanks :) i saw other doing a lot more dmg

[plain saffron]

then do it

[cobalt robin]

With Germany's weather yes, I'm sweating my balls off

[deft kettle]

are any of these 2 better than the current weapon for lion?

[viscid swift]

no

[plain saffron]

nope for both

[deft kettle]

for cruisers?

[plain saffron]

those are for BB/BC/BBV only

[wind hazel]

those are BB guns

[viscid swift]

they're BB guns

[deft kettle]

oh

[wind hazel]

and i would scrap them both tbh

[robust nymph]

anything worth here?

[plain saffron]

i would just buy all

[cobalt robin]

Everything except the heals and tuning

[plain saffron]

clean the pool faster to get better stuff

[cobalt robin]

You can buy those as well if you're rich

[robust nymph]

aight ty

[plain saffron]

it's only for 1st month anyway

[cobalt robin]

And my ports are sold out 😔😔

[robust nymph]

so why does my unicorn do no dmg, is it just because shes lower lvl?

[cobalt robin]

Level, enemy lvl, tuning, all of these can affect your dmg

[narrow kiln]

question, possibly related to this.
And what were you fighting?

[robust nymph]

this touhou boss

[cobalt robin]

Looks like an average kawa fight lmao

[viscid swift]

because Unicorn isn't in a fleet to do damage among other factors

[sinful escarp]

META fights are one of the "hardest" late game fights

[viscid swift]

tuning doesn't affect META showdowns

[cobalt robin]

She was doing opsi earlier so I assumed she was still in opsi

[sinful escarp]

its not your unicorn, its how its set up.

opsi and meta showdowns are different

[viscid swift]

that's very clearly a META showdown endscreen but meh

[cobalt robin]

my brain and eyes don't work in this heat

[viscid swift]

anyway, the fact of the matter is your ships are too low level and your ships not geared well enough to do much

and the fight seems specficially made to be an eldridge retrofit check

[cobalt robin]

You can still get your daily clears but don't except to do a lot of dmg on kawa

[white agate]

as long as the meta goes down in 2 hit everything is fine, 1 hit requires to have many things

[robust nymph]

i also tried with prinz since i have no other tanks but since shes lvl105 it went worse

green one? thats new

[sinful escarp]

one shotting META bosses require UR ships. not all UR but some yeah

[cobalt robin]

Missions

[white agate]

daily quests

[sinful escarp]

those are where daily quests are

[robust nymph]

btw ive been doing this for the bricks but so far dropped 0.. did you lie to me

[hardy creek]

Which of these royal navy vanguard ships are worth investing besides Trafalgar? I need vanguard ships to farm for Plymouth

[cobalt robin]

If you're clearing zones you should be getting mats

[viscid swift]

they're all just tech so

[white agate]

@viscid swift any suggestion on how i can profit the most from bis2? the pull effect seems to last too little(when i had not her i thought it lasted more )

[viscid swift]

Trinidad, Edinburgh, Sheffield, the CAs, and Vampire

[viscid swift]

well for BBs it's business as usual, she ideally fires 2nd but don't fuss over it too much if that's not practical

[hardy creek]

Alright thanks this is a cat

[cobalt robin]

You can get the blue mats just by clearing zones

[white agate]

so i should like pair her with someone like agir to get more slow?
and time the mag torp i guess

[viscid swift]

I've never felt the need to do that honestley

and slowing enemies before she pulls them is actually deliturious

what are you trying to pull off?

[white agate]

trying to maximise 3 bbs hitting after bis2 pulls

[viscid swift]

yeah as a heads up you're not getting 100% uptime on that pull

just isn't possible

[fast steppe]

about how long will it take before Eldridge's refit item gets added permanently

and if I don't have Eldridge or Napoli who else is good for tanking kawakaze rn

[viscid swift]

well it'll probbaly rerun next month

[wind oxide]

Woah i didnt hear bout it

[viscid swift]

cope honestley

[white musk]

ELDRIDGE NEXT MONTH???

[wind oxide]

And when do we think gay table's coming?

[stark quiver]

Just two shot 💀
Or you can cope rafaello and a modern tank

[viscid swift]

complete crapshoot

[wind oxide]

What?

[wind hazel]

aka we dont know

[stark quiver]

There’s no prediction because it can get the Shima torp treatment
Which it doesn’t get added for god knows how long

[wind oxide]

Holee sheat

[viscid swift]

"something (such as a business venture) that has an unpredictable outcome"

[viscid swift]

just an educated guess but her retrofit ran the last EN Anni and the timeline is a year pretty much for retrofit reruns

[soft raft]

it reran last year? More like it came out last EN Anniv

[soft raft]

Dunno because there's no aux gear tab in gear lab
My best bet is it'll get added to core data in the same tab as the useless flag

[wind oxide]

Wokay icy icy

[viscid swift]

ran I mean

[viscid swift]

I just copied Meriam Webster's definition for the term

I just find that easier than trying to explain it myself

[stark quiver]

Advanced English in gph

[cobalt robin]

Elite ball knowledge

[wind oxide]

Why i was completely dumbfounded

[white musk]

Also, quick question, am I being a doofus for grinding washing machine bp in mirror involution? Ive spent probably 50k gold worth of oil on a more lucrative stage to get like

5 bp

[silk sphinx]

so... new PR season should come next week?

[forest palm]

should

[wind hazel]

yes you are

[viscid swift]

Yes frankly

[white musk]

[wind hazel]

just do your research academy

[viscid swift]

mebot will never let this one go

[silk sphinx]

i don't think in this day and age there's ever any point to farm war archives (very niche use case of pre-oil cap chapters)

apart from getting those memory cutscenes ig

[wind oxide]

What's he gonna do to them?

[soft raft]

and if you lack german tech for FdG

[white musk]

We're all good there. These last two events have me full on german tech points

I just started on fdg yesterday actually

[tropic tusk]

is there a command for cm?

3q

[sharp socket]

ok now it works

[tropic tusk]

wait its 404 lol

arr ok 3q

[wind oxide]

Isnt it just available on wiki?

[wind hazel]

no

wiki only has boss stats and whatnot, not how to tackle it

[wind hazel]

ironblood tech box

[cobalt robin]

I've prolly trashed it multiple times naw 😔😔😔

Any other gear I should get?

Was told to get 2 wyverns and 2 ju87 d4 but I have plenty of gold mats for 2 more crafts as well

[hollow gust]

You let your guild mates borrow your ship during guild boss fight but I doubt anyone would want to use them

Literally nothing changes

Just ignore it

[ivory pawn]

You can still use them everywhere else as normal.

[hollow gust]

.

all that does is scan your ship and saves the loadout for later boss fight

[cobalt robin]

Any gear lab experts? What else should I get

[ivory pawn]

Oh, does the loadout borrowed stay the same even if you change it later? (Without updating Battle Support)

[hollow gust]

get the stuff you need, otherwise just start hoarding

everything saves

[ivory pawn]

Anything highly rated in /gearlab that doesn’t cost electronics is good. Just electronics, UR prints, and gold+ ordinance reports you might want to think about.
155 Kai is a common recommendation. Quad mags are always good. Could look for 2 Ryuusei for timing purposes.

[cobalt robin]

Thanks

[hollow gust]

Shinano and Vanguard are higher priority; Nj is replaceable

[cobalt robin]

Vanguard isn't in the letter sadly

[little tree]

Nano

Supremacy

[ivory pawn]

In theory, you can do it within 2 months. Whether that’s a good idea is another question entirely.

You'll still get merits, just half, and won't lose points, it's worth.

[prisma torrent]

Opinion on golden 155mm Yamato gun

[viscid swift]

the what

[wind oxide]

Who's the easiest CM boss?

Coz i feel like even level 90 players have dps way over the cap in this CM or is it just because of Lion

[hybrid willow]

When I started I would find whoever would kill me the fastest just for the xp lol

[white musk]

[plain saffron]

better something than nothing

[narrow kiln]

and META bosses don't give experience?

[viscid swift]

they do not

[mortal trench]

it works

[robust nymph]

what gives better commander xp? im lvl79 and would like to reach 80 asap

[soft raft]

Grinding the highest stage you can and using full fleets

Or if you're already at W12+, just grind 12-1/12-4 as per usual

[wheat summit]

umm question, is there any plan on the dev side regarding a pc launcher for azur lane ? or no ?

[viscid swift]

no

[wind oxide]

Ask the dev make a plea

[viscid swift]

at least that we know of

though I personally highly doubt that a PC version will happen

[tropic tusk]

Too good to be true...a pc version

[narrow kiln]

The developers may decide to do this...
Or they may NOT decide.

[wheat summit]

i was kinda thinking since other gacha already created cross platform systems and a new one is jumping in that wagon (blue archive)

would be nice if azur would also have the same thing since, not gonna lie, bluestacks is kinda garbage sometimes

[sweet delta]

I saw someone get massively down voted on Reddit for laying out the very reasonable reasons why

[viscid swift]

heh

[plain saffron]

small indie company pls understand

[wheat summit]

classic mob mentality ? or is this reasonable downvoting ?

[sweet delta]

Iirc their name started with c and ended with heekywarship2018

[wheat summit]

because, i mean, it's reddit, typically there are tribes in there and when you offend one, you offend the entire horde

[viscid swift]

the comment in question "I'm gonna say something a bit harsh and perhaps controversial at this point. A PC Version for AL is cope. The game, while it is still quite profitable, just does not rake in enough profit to warrant such an investment not to mention Azur Promilla is also being worked on by the devs. As much as I sympathize, that's the unfortunate truth. Not to mention the devs can barely keep the game as is working with how many bugs still persist."

[sweet delta]

I agree blue stacks is garbage. That's why I use mumu12

[wheat summit]

oh, well, reasonable i guess, there's merit to it

[narrow kiln]

Sounds like a man stepped into 2 wasp nests...
(I hope this phrase will be clear enough in English)

[wind oxide]

Bro did what?

[wheat summit]

this is the one that got downvoted? whut ?

[plain saffron]

he said something i don't like therefore i downvoted

[viscid swift]

I mean yeah

[wheat summit]

ahh the classic caveman

[plain saffron]

lol, lmao even

[viscid swift]

because having a reasonable take on reddit is not allowed anymore

[wind oxide]

For real

[wheat summit]

tribes going unga bunga on anything they don't like i see

[tame jungle]

reddit moment

[robust nymph]

also uuh question , if i unlocked the oil cost reduction why 4 sorties cost still 1k+?

[wheat summit]

if reddit is known for something, it surely is not being reasonable

[forest palm]

profitability is kind of questionable because Arknights which makes around the same ballpark is releasing a PC client

[plain saffron]

35 * 7 * 4 is 980, boss is more expensive so that make sense
wait is it 35

((35 * 6) + 47) * 4
1028

[robust nymph]

and the gold is spent gradually right? so if i retreat at any point its fine to do?

[ivory pawn]

The oil is spent per battle, so yes. Can also just cancel the autorepeat and let the current run play out.

[soft raft]

gold spent gradually? what
either way if you abort auto mode, it will just calculate the rewards for the sorites you completed and the one you were on once you finish it

[plain saffron]

and the gold is spent gradually right?
uhh i don't understanf

[robust nymph]

i meant oil

ty!

[sweet delta]

Is Halfords fs expected around en anni?

[plain saffron]

fs are on en anni past few years so yes

[robust nymph]

also is there a way to have older loading screen backgrounds in game?

[worldly lion]

What to buy guys? Already bought the loggers

[cobalt robin]

also the ur one

[whole crypt]

I pasted all of them, tap in

[cobalt robin]

Oh bruh

[errant fog]

What's 406mm MK II good for/on again? I forgot where its from or for who... lol

[cobalt rapids]

from lion event and u can treat it as a mk7 upgrade

[mortal trench]

well. sidegrade
shoots faster, but does less damage per salvo

[cobalt rapids]

it does more damage per salvo where u would use it aka anti light

[reef flume]

145 light armor modifier tho

[mortal trench]

it’s an upgrade vs light, sidegrade vs anything else

[reef flume]

Why would you use HE against med and heavy tho

[mortal trench]

if you’re lazy and don’t wanna change your gun

[stark quiver]

It’s not a sidegrade to everything else
It’s worse in everything else

[mortal trench]

lion gun on top

[topaz carbon]

Guys, How do I clear Story Mode 'Operation Siren' Chapter 1 Part 22? I finished it a long time ago, but just realized I missed this part. Any tips?

[stark quiver]

Go to the opsi map and follow the red !

[wind hazel]

might be bug, see mine 🫃🏼

[inland shoal]

Yeah iirc this is a common bug, don't remember if there was some way to fix it

[topaz carbon]

Hmmm, yeah might be a bug. I’ve been checking since June but there’s no red mark or record showing up at all..

[plain saffron]

afaik only contact cs

[eternal basalt]

(should do that for the Fu Shen custscene, seeing they don't rerun that story since 2020, with the event coming each year )

[narrow kiln]

is all elite META is trash?

[viscid swift]

more or less

[narrow kiln]

Which of these is worth buying for a beginner or not?

[forest palm]

none of them are worth buying outside of a very late game grind

[cobalt robin]

are any of the permanent metas good

[eternal basalt]

They take no dockslot so they are instantly good in my eyes

[inland shoal]

The ones from dossier yeah, a few of them are pretty good
You wouldn't rly use them in endgame content though

[stark quiver]

yea

[cobalt robin]

Can you name a few

[stark quiver]

jintsuu meta

[ivory pawn]

JintsuuM for PvP, and other places too.

[stark quiver]

ex gaming

[rapid grail]

Gameplay wise? Not that much rly
Investment wise? Yea; they give the same tech as with their OG forms. Example w/ Fusou and Fusou META both giving +1 BB RLD. So worth it

[cobalt robin]

If they're just good then I'm fine with it

[stark quiver]

they arent practical

[cobalt robin]

Doesn't matter to me

[dense scroll]

Kawakaze Meta team and gear help

[robust nymph]

can i still fight a bit with 0 morale?

[inland shoal]

You can, but you get the popup every time and the ship with 0 morale will lose affinity

[white agate]

no, you can, but loss of affection is huge and does not justify it

[viscid swift]

you also cut your XP gain in half

[white agate]

iirc you lose at least as much affection as the one you gain in i think like than 10 battles

[robust nymph]

i also have one at 25 morale, if i keep her the 2nd dorm floor and keep fighting is it gonna be morale positive?

[inland shoal]

If you fight very slowly...

[narrow kiln]

How many zones with 6 corrosion are there in OpSi?

[somber marten]

I counted 8

[narrow kiln]

And how high is the chance that there will be a very useful UR ship this month or next?

[viscid swift]

well if you count DRs pretty high

[somber marten]

No clue

But yeah, we're getting at least 2 DRs

And one's already known

[narrow kiln]

nope.
I just accidentally got 2nd UR BULIN.

[teal cedar]

Is Dimitri Donskoi a DD or a CL?

[narrow kiln]

CL, as i can see on announcement

[robust nymph]

going with more ships with oil reduction doesnt influence oil cost right

i can have 4 ships or 6 and cost is still 864

[viscid swift]

If you fleet doesn't cost less than the oil cap yes

[eternal basalt]

The next BUILDABLE UR is september, rerun then october or november... with the dr's you don't use your bulins

[narrow kiln]

Bismarck Zwei, I have good news!
XD

[eternal basalt]

Does that one guy's rerun events list feature "Anthem of Remembrance"? Or is that a minor event for some reason?

[vagrant dome]

Who should i choose with UR pity when the moment comes

[viscid swift]

it was one of those SP type events

grind 10k points to get the new ship

[eternal basalt]

Those rerun right?

[viscid swift]

they did

not sure how they plan to do them now honestley

[eternal basalt]

Wonder if before Fool's Scales or not

[sweet delta]

If youre still far off, then ask when you get there. But the answer depends on the status of all URs you have, so take a picture

[sinful spruce]

does what formation you use in battles matter?

[vagrant dome]

I only need 30 pulls for it and imma save for next event, the only UR i have is Musashi

[sweet delta]

Default to double line for vanguard survivability, or take circular if your main fleet is dying to airplanes

[sinful spruce]

single line not good? and my main issue is flagships getting sniped

[sweet delta]

you missed both Lion and Bisz...the answer is between Shinano and Vanguard. September new UR could heavily favor one over the other or not

[sweet delta]

Then put a fire extinguisher on the flagship. Single line is very unlikely to help you clear waves faster

[vagrant dome]

Yeah i kinda left the game for some time 😭 im getting into it now tho. I went to the guide and i kinda can't decide between shinano, shimakaze and kronstdat

[sweet delta]

Shimakaze is powercrept by cheaper ships, and Krons is less useful than other easily obtained research CBs

They are the two worst choices from the pity

what guide you're talking about ?

[strange path]

Should i be making staags or sexy bofors in the gear lab?

[eternal basalt]

If you don't get enough from research, generally you get plenty there though

[worldly pewter]

neither

[eternal basalt]

Sexy Bofors are only in PR3 though...

[cobalt robin]

sexy bofors 🤤

[eternal basalt]

Wait atleast a week, PR8 is coming

[vagrant dome]

I was reading things here and saw a guide link, it had shima and krons as good options i think

[cobalt robin]

That must've been old old old

[vagrant dome]

Ah, so Shinano then?

[cobalt robin]

Or vanguard

Who dou you have

Other urs

[vagrant dome]

Just Musashi

[cobalt robin]

Hmm

I'm for Shinano, get a 2nd opinion tho

[strange path]

Id get Vanguard

I would say bbs are easier to equip than carriers

And Shinano value goes up if you have other UR sakura carriers

[eternal basalt]

Haku atleast is available always

[strange path]

Id say if you wanted value right away get vanguard, because you can equip her without too much hassle and she’ll make musashi do more damage

[sweet delta]

I doubt they can afford to put 4 UR bulins on Vanguard

[vagrant dome]

Thats hella expensive, im just lvl 40 bro 😭

[cobalt robin]

Shouldn't be using ur bullins on perma urs in general

Unless you got a copious amount of em

[sweet delta]

The answer is still pick Shinano or vanguard (Shinano will be usable earlier because you can get a limit break dupe from Handbook), leave them on the bench or secretary duty, keep picking the same one from pity until she's MLB, then start using her

[magic locust]

Crafted my first UR in gear lab what's next priority?

[stark quiver]

What are all the UR gear you have

[magic locust]

I started opsi this summer

Regret doing this now then earlier

[cobalt robin]

Better late than never

I started grinding 3 days before the reset lol

[magic locust]

Same here lol

Getting ur gear is still a pain in the ass

[cobalt robin]

Already a wyvern?

I still need more ur plans

[magic locust]

It took 2 months to build one

Building 3 will be like 7 months

[cobalt robin]

Huh

I started 3 days before last reset
