[sweet delta]

in daily raid

[robust nymph]

oh that one yeah its 0/2

i guess its the first time i did it

[wind hazel]

damn you got really unlucky lol

ok 1st time nvm

[sweet delta]

but since you're new, see here for what high tier gold augment you need for your ships. Don't spend augment cores on purple augments yet https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules/

in particular, san diego

and warspite

i would skip Hood for now tbh if you haven't done it

[robust nymph]

i dont remember but before quitting i used to skip dailies, the fast battle thingy now is very convenient

[sweet delta]

i think that raid was added after skip dailies

[robust nymph]

already did for the quest unfortunately

[robust nymph]

so, the play is to just wait and have them dropping instead of crafting?

[sweet delta]

the play is to spend materials on high tier gold augments

and for blue/purple, it's cheaper to use an existing one rather than craft one from scratch

If you have extra augment exp stones, you can take a purple from +0 to +10. But save the augment core for san diego and warspite because they cost 15 each

[robust nymph]

cause like in this picture all these augments are purple no?

[sweet delta]

san diego's gold augment alone is worth dozens of purple augments in terms of improving your fleet

[robust nymph]

okay so, sandy and warspite augment, is it something you get it somewhere or is it craftable only?

so should i go for it?

[sweet delta]

yes, but how did you get that much in 4 days

[stark quiver]

Pro gamer

[robust nymph]

idek where im dropping these rocks

i also use warspite, but seems this is better?

[split gazelle]

rocks might've dropped from event milestone + rookie rewards

[sweet delta]

there are indeed 10 cores in handbook

[robust nymph]

also my sandy has terrible gear, obtaining gear remains the hardest part ngl.. i run researches in queue 24/7 but im still in homeless gear

is this better than purple single 127mm?

[sweet delta]

it is far better than single 127

[robust nymph]

i swear someone told me the opposite

okie ty

are those all equally viable loadouts?

[sweet delta]

top 2 are better

[tired grotto]

hi im new to the game is there anyone with a video to learn things to do and not at the beginning ?

[cobalt robin]

Who should I go for after anchorage? Skipped fdg cause I already have lion and biscuit2

[stark quiver]

Shouldn’t have skipped fdg

[soft raft]

go for FdG anyways
cuz it never hurts to have more URs

Plus she still has her uses even if you have the top tier UR BBs

like for example being with those two for a OpSi BB boss comp or having BisZwei and Lion on boss fleets while FdG is on mobbing

[cobalt robin]

Alright

[cobalt robin]

Mori senpai told me to

[split gazelle]

getting fdg purely for mobbing in opsi sounds like a waste of time though, but im not that knowledgable

[cobalt robin]

I kinda wanna get ägir next

[stark quiver]

Fdg isn’t limited to opsi mobbing
She has UR level damage and works well in their fleet of opsi bossing bb fleet

[hybrid willow]

Heck, even just having more to work with for the coalition events

[stark quiver]

Just get both
The grind shouldn’t be too long anyways

[sweet delta]

but who to coin first?

[split gazelle]

the real grind is dev30

[stark quiver]

[cobalt robin]

My vanguard is pretty lacking but I'll get ägir after fdg then

[cobalt robin]

😔

How far will I get with 112 ägir prints

[split gazelle]

well they said delay, not skip if I'm not wrong on that

[wind oxide]

Is there an event next week?

[rain vine]

/devbp

[odd root]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/460648604974055424/885529968455598170/unknown.png

[cobalt robin]

180(513)?

[tame jungle]

(total)

[rain vine]

112 prints gets you to just over lvl 15

[cobalt robin]

Ah alright

[stark quiver]

;p 5 1211

Damn

[storm olive]

when triple CV mob exists it sorta is

[wind oxide]

Guys any event next week?

[ivory hearth]

is she any good

[stark quiver]

Nah

[cobalt robin]

I'll have to drop my beloved eugen when I get ägir 😔😔

[viscid swift]

no

which is just as well since we're getting PR8 next week

[wind oxide]

Ayee

[white agate]

and pr7 fs is like a month after?

[viscid swift]

yes

[eternal basalt]

At ALM's discord they say brest is more useful than Agir, and is infact the best CB out there. Always thought she was severly lacking.
Are they crazy, or am I?

[errant fog]

What's the best team fighting kawa meta?

[split gazelle]

there is one in the pinned messages

[errant fog]

Nice. tqvm

[wind oxide]

Isn't agir more tanky than brest and also she can inflict AB?

[storm olive]

It depends, Brest is going to be better in w15 for example

[viscid swift]

both of you are crazy I'd say

if I'm being honest I haven't used either in a while because we've gotten so many tanks with better utility than the CBs

but I don't think one is necessarily more useful than the other let alone to say outright one is better

[eternal basalt]

I would pick Guam there myself

[storm olive]

Brest was used there before Guam existed iirc

[viscid swift]

they all do different things though

in order for me to say one is outright better I'd have to be picking one over the others in a majority of cases which is

[eternal basalt]

September JP anni Sakura UR, August EN anni retrofit UR(???)

[wind oxide]

What we getting a retrofit on anniversary? Thought it was augment or something

[soft raft]

(afaik) there's no real set frequency for Unique augments
and yes we get a SR->UR retrofit for EN Anniv

we're too close to JP Anniv to get a UR event so that's the next best thing

[dry tree]

Quick question, I just found this in Gear Lab, I haven't seen this gear before, Is it any good?

If so, which ship class usually would want it?

[narrow kiln]

Please...
Don't start...
I'm just a small fan of Russians...
looks at dev.12 Nakhimov

[soft raft]

It's quite recent
And very good, basically the best AA gun in the game

[eternal basalt]

Mainline ships, but also good for vanguard

[narrow kiln]

Is there a ship in this game that this gun wouldn't be good for?

[dry tree]

Vanguard.. The ship? Or.. The class or both?

[rain vine]

frontline ships

[wind oxide]

The type

[eternal basalt]

~~No capital first letter ~~

[dry tree]

Touché

[narrow kiln]

Hmm... Hah
not counting those who can and will benefit from installing another weapon in the same slot

[eternal basalt]

There are very few of those, I only recall Hindenburg

[storm olive]

Seydlitz

[narrow kiln]

Well, I don't have any.
but I've seen Halford and Fritz Rumey

[eternal basalt]

Both do not offer to shed their AA slots (actually, they do)

[dry tree]

Is it better than this one? Or is it transitional with this?

[storm olive]

It made 57mm not worth crafting

[narrow kiln]

Ahem.
Excuse me, but where is Halford's seaplane?

[dry tree]

Ah... I was hoarding a lot of these...

[eternal basalt]

Broken currently

[storm olive]

57mm is still good but don't craft any more

[dry tree]

Is the new AA also good for battleships? Or just for frontline ships?

[eternal basalt]

.

[sweet delta]

Is a new UR retrofit guaranteed for EN anni?

[dry tree]

Ah, sorry, I didn't see it. Thank you

Only focused on vanguard hah

[eternal basalt]

But it seems it is our UR replacement, so we will see if they keep that up

[storm olive]

There is also all ships from rondo event (excluding yorck and emden)

[hybrid pelican]

how to level up submarines fast besides using books?

[wind oxide]

Like in a streak?

[eternal basalt]

As in tradition, like October becoming Tempesta. They now had 2 events (year before Royal Fortune was alongside another event), they could break it, they could go on with it, we all assume Tempesta though

[sweet delta]

[novel solstice]

Books, dorm, or using them in a lot of battles are your options.

I usually just stick them in the dorm, which isn't amazingly fast but at least isn't burning oil.

[eternal basalt]

Also stick them in current event levels fast, at the cost of a lot of oil

[wind oxide]

That UR retro on EN anni has been going on consecutive years right?

If it is then it's likely a guaranteed no?

[sweet delta]

yeah it's been consecutive years for a grand total of 1 year

[wind oxide]

Well what's likely to be in the anni then?

[novel solstice]

The devs rarely give us information more than a week in advance, so it's really hard to predict what's coming up.

[viscid swift]

We'll almost certainly get a retrofit but whether it'll be a UR event who's to say

[viscid swift]

also let me give you an idea of what you're dealing with for the EN Anni
2022: Rerun of Intrepid's event
2023: A New Iron Blood Mini/Medium event
2024: A full scale new event with no UR

[stark quiver]

Free gems

[soft raft]

Should be like 700 this year right

[viscid swift]

800

[soft raft]

oh neat that's 40 dock slots

Also at what point does the price for dock expansions go up? like 1k?

[honest stirrup]

holy conjecture

[split gazelle]

from u-37/u-81/u-96 who is flag?

[south python]

for 14-4 is Jervis better in the mob fleet or boss fleet?

[sweet delta]

Mob fleet tank

[stark quiver]

That’s also a ring

[stark quiver]

Should be 2k

[barren kettle]

beginner question, how do people deal with food in the dorm, seem unreasonable to always keep food stocked. I assume people just pop some food in right before they head out to fight, or am i missing any reason to try to keep food in at all times?

[stark quiver]

I have 4 years of mail oil in the form of dorm curry

Hmm, just restock as frequently as you can, you still regen morale even if you are out of food

[crimson glacier]

dorm exp buffs dont affect sorties

and idk you just get food over time a lot, can also buy it with oil

[barren kettle]

ah, then the food isn't quite as interesting as i thought. might as well just spend it in that case i guess

[white agate]

and medals, not worth it till you don't need anymore purple bulins and special core tho

[eternal basalt]

2021: Microlayer Medley rerun (old rerun system, 2 weeks, +2 ships)
2022: Operation Convergence (Blucher)
2023: Fool's Event (Richelieu),
2024: Windborne Steel Wings (Indiana)

[hushed sorrel]

i dont even know how i got it but i got over 10k food items left with 1/2k food recovery

just use it :)

[viscid swift]

it was Clemenceau not Richelieu for 2023 but yeah
thought I was missing something

[eternal basalt]

2022 was the start of the new lite rerun system, and the coming of the "1 new event per month" system...

(new event gets a bit of a weird tone when used for the collab reruns, like this month will)

[white agate]

you mean atelie rerun?

[mossy void]

Random but what's the order of the URs to rerun. Don't need dates or anything just the order

[viscid swift]

pretty much the order they released

[left cedar]

so cheeky isnt a cat anymore

also, no new PR revelated ? i'm curious about the 2 others, or is 1 ?

[mossy void]

Yeah I just dont remember lol

[mossy void]

Its probably 2 more to make 5. They haven't done just 4 right?

[stark quiver]

Unzen is next then Alsace > soyuz

[viscid swift]

still 2 more, they seem to be revealing a new one every 2 days at 12:00 AM EST so with any luck we'll know another one in less than 6 hours

[left cedar]

arigathamx

[viscid swift]

and the final one on Monday

[mossy void]

Good to know

[viscid swift]

and this time it seems they've coordinated so no revealing different ships between servers this time

[eternal basalt]

Guam/Laffey II got lost somwhere?

[stark quiver]

i forgot they existed

[eternal basalt]

Also first Soyuz, THEN Alsace/Mogador

[carmine heath]

does +13ing the ur aa gun do anything
(I have already done it this is just copium)

[left cedar]

both are quite gud at AA, the HIT one is the best for BBs and CVLs cuz HIT stats, but still stands as AA Guns in fact, being gud dmg and quite fast

working in pretty much anything

[stark quiver]

better aa

[eternal basalt]

+18% damage, +3% Operation Siren damage (capped at 20%)

[eternal basalt]

You didn't list Marseilles, is that due to the "single ship" event? It would likely be rerun before Fool's Scales, right?

[soft raft]

yeah she's a single ship event

[eternal basalt]

Been a long time since they done those, when was the last rerun even?

[soft raft]

and it was released Aug 3rd while Indiana was Aug 15th

[eternal basalt]

It was before Fool's event, not before Indiana's event

[soft raft]

oh right lol

[soft raft]

I think the last rerun for a single ship event was Princeton event June 16th 2022
At least that's what I could find in my records

[eternal basalt]

Seems last was Foch, up are Marseillas and Zuihou

April '23

[soft raft]

Ah
that was not in my list at all

[forest palm]

[zenith heron]

Are Auxiliary Equipment the only ones that have stat increases other than the OPS Dmg buff or did I miss something on other equipments?

[forest palm]

Guns can too, more specifically AA guns

[zenith heron]

[forest palm]

Hazemayer, STAAG, and UR Twin 76 give Hit, while something like Twin 134 gives FP. I do believe there's more instances but those are the more prominent ones

[dreamy blade]

I think they mean stat increases from +13

[forest palm]

well if they'd like to clarify

[zenith heron]

he answered it correctly, so its alr

[forest palm]

to note though you do not use the Twin 134 for AA it is purely a stat stick and is terrible as an AA gun

[zenith heron]

thanks, got decieved by that high AA stat before, not knowing how slow its cd is as well, unsure for the range though...

[fallen jay]

I have a question that I asked before but can’t remember. Is X-1 or X-4 that is good for farming XP? I need to level up my main fleet so I can beat world ten and hopefully start farming 11

[novel solstice]

There is an XP per oil chart by level in the pinned posts.

[soft raft]

X-1 is mainly for better XP/oil efficency
X-4 is mainly for better gold/oil efficency

[fallen jay]

It goes over my head. I saw it in the pinned comment but I couldn’t make heads or tails of it

[fallen jay]

Thanks!

[warped acorn]

the ships used for opsi can also used for commision too without affecting opsi?

[forest palm]

yes, they can

[terse glen]

Hello, I’m new to al, where can I find guides for beginners

[soft raft]

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[burnt sigil]

Hello, I just got back to game a few days ago.

Not sure if this is the place to ask but just wondering if they have any planned UR limited reruns this year, kinda sad seeing I missed some nice looking UR ships.

Also, seeing that we have a UR selector now after 400 pulls, I hope they expand the roster, cuz I have everyone but NJ already.

[terse glen]

Great! Ty

[fast steppe]

why is 12-4 most recommended for grinding and not later stages e.g. w13? is it less consistent with lower levelled ships?

[forest palm]

oil eff and easy of use

[fast steppe]

does w13 have a higher oil cap or smth

[forest palm]

yes it costs more oil per run for less value essentially

granted this is all relative when talking about XP farming

[soft raft]

We have no concrete news of any planned UR Reruns, but here's the theoretical rerun order based off of release date

And yes, they will eventually add in more URs to the perament UR pity selection

[vocal sonnet]

/w15

[forest palm]

use #bot-spam

[vocal sonnet]

oops

[burnt sigil]

Thank you! I guess no Implacable for me anytime soon since she just got her rerun this year

[soft raft]

yop
luckily it only takes ~1 year for a event to be archived compared to the ~2 years it takes for it to rerun

[fast steppe]

how do people approach tech farming? it's oil intensive enough just levelling the ships i need, can't imagine doing the same for the 20 or 30 other ships i need for rld tech

[sweet delta]

if you still need to level the ships you need for actual battle, then you don't level ships for tech

[fast steppe]

once i'm done with lion and alsace etc i'm thinking of going for some tech but idk whether to just keep chucking them into 12-4 or to just take it slow and level them during event grinding etc

[sweet delta]

if only event grinding, then what are you going to do when there's no event grinding?

[stark quiver]

if youre grinding with lion and alsace, doesnt that mean there are 4 other slots for tech botes?

[sweet delta]

Guaranteed success with this 2 step method to build a mob fleet for farming easy content!

1. Put ships you need to level for usage in hard content, such as MLB URs or good ships
2. Put ships who have good level 120 tech

there's no difference about 12-4 vs event

[dark lotus]

when will i able to put auto my op siren when playing?

[fast steppe]

is cv or bb rld tech more important

[stark quiver]

finish the story

[stark quiver]

both

[dark lotus]

Ohh i need to prio this red ones?

[stark quiver]

correct

once you finish story, you get to unlock the full operation siren experience

[dark lotus]

How can i heal my ships?

and how to get gold materials to upgrade lvl 13 equipments or materials needed for gear lab

[warped acorn]

press port in that screen and formation then repair all

[stark quiver]

alternatively, you go to storage and use the healing boxes

[fast steppe]

is it worth grinding 13-4 for souryuu and xp or should i just go to w3

[dark lotus]

why my unicorn and others cant repair?? only nj

[viscid swift]

what

[stark quiver]

uhh, i mean if your fleet is overpowered sure?
that might mean using some high level ships and losing xp

its also not lenient on what options you can bring, like 6 shitters

go farm 3-1 or something with 4 oil lol
or 3 oil if youre an odd fellow

[dark lotus]

what are the good stuff here

[soft raft]

buy everything so the actually good stuff has a chance to rotate into the shop

[viscid swift]

why didn't you do repair all

[fast steppe]

i don't have a 4 oil fleet yet

[stark quiver]

not like 3-1 is hard or anything tho

[stark quiver]

who is santa c

[viscid swift]

smh

[dark lotus]

the othes didnt show

[stark quiver]

well, you can just not farm for souryuu yet

[dark lotus]

i use now the boxes i heled them now thank youu

[viscid swift]

Even if they don't show if you hit repair all all of your ships will be restored to full HP

why you didn't see them is probably because you had filters on

[fast steppe]

would this live 13-4 if I take it down to safe lol

[viscid swift]

For your mob fleet?

[fast steppe]

yeah

[viscid swift]

You need a healer at the minimum

[fast steppe]

is 13-4 that much harder than 12-4

[viscid swift]

Yes

[fast steppe]

hm

guess i could try doing 13-4h with a proper fleet and see if i get her during daily hard clearing

[warped acorn]

how do ppl get a ur gear from research that fast

[stark quiver]

get lucky

[warped acorn]

guess praying to rngjesus is important then

[stark quiver]

i never prayed for i had inherent luck

[stark quiver]

picking the right researches are probably the most imporant realistically

[warped acorn]

hmm true
how much max ur prints u can get from a research

[stark quiver]

i have no idea tbh

[warped acorn]

fair
guess no one even look at how much prints they get

[stark quiver]

but youre lucky if you get more than 1

[warped acorn]

o

[zenith heron]

I think they also stop giving said PR/DR BPs if you max them either at Dev30/Fate Sim, unless you pick the random research one...

[warped acorn]

huh

u cant coin for it?

[zenith heron]

I think you need to use the BP first before the coins, but I might be wrong

[soft raft]

The game physically wont let you use coins if you have their BPs
Note that this doesnt count the blank selector ones

[warped acorn]

oh so i cant coin again after coining it unless i used them all?

also whats the blank selector ones

[soft raft]

lets say you want to work on Achorage and coin her
but you have like 25 anchorage blueprints

you must use all 25 of those blueprints before you can use coins instead

[zenith heron]

pretty much, so don't use those randomized PR/DR Bps unless you really need it or just for protocore change

[warped acorn]

damn

that hurts
looks like i gotta coin a certain amount then if i want to

[soft raft]

like the name implies, they're blank blueprints that can be redeemed to become BPs for a ship (within a pre-determined range of seasons)

[warped acorn]

oh that one

as well as u havent used it yet?

[zenith heron]

some usually don't use them for possible protocores, so they usually grind at Research, literally use if needed or convert them...

[warped acorn]

oh

[sinful spruce]

is there any way to quickly get the monthly cores?

[stark quiver]

which core?
specialized, data or proto?

[sinful spruce]

The ur bulin one

Specialized

[soft raft]

grind grind grind alot with full fleets

you can also buy 3k Spec Core from the medal shop which wont count towards the monthly 5k limit

[sinful spruce]

No oil😭

[fresh briar]

Help me please to have a good fleet for boss and mob fleet

[soft raft]

where specifically?
Also next time post that stuff in a thread

[paper ore]

op si zone clearing also gives a small amount. hidden zones give a little more

[sinful spruce]

Ty

[soft raft]

?
that's the first time I've heard of that

[paper ore]

you get like 7? of the specialized core from the purple box that drops after you clear an explorable zonee

hidden ones give 20? or so

[soft raft]

oh thought you meant oil lol

[paper ore]

ah

[fresh briar]

I'm sorry but I'm a newbie lol

But I needed to know how to build a fleet or good or best fleet

[sweet delta]

1. Say what chapter you need help with
2. Thread is optional, it's just for your own benefit of getting help without too many interruptions

[soft raft]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/fleetbuilding/

[stark quiver]

funny you say that, but threads have like 5 different people with 5 different opinions
in the end, not a single decent fleet is made

[warped acorn]

do i get my ships lv 100 for them to be usable

[fast steppe]

is jintsuuM oneshottable with a setup similar to this without Eldridge or aurora

I do have Plymouth but she's not d30 yet

severely lacking BB reload tech tho and don't have a second hvarcat so I'm coping with skyraider and no sync

[quartz island]

hmmm, maybe? are they dying?

[fast steppe]

not dying just not enough dmg

[strange path]

what is this for

[quartz island]

what's your gear look like? all +10?

you need to increase your damage by 60% lol

the evasion debuff is pretty important here; huge boost to your damage output cause of shit main fleet acc

[fast steppe]

+13 Mk7 +12 lion gun +12 skyraider

[warped acorn]

opsi i guess

[viscid swift]

Jintsuu meta has 1.42 million hp not 1.6

[quartz island]

oh, Jintsuu KEK; brain auto-filled Kawa

[stark quiver]

Yes
I use lion, Alsace, fritz
Z52, aurora, eld
And it one shots

[quartz island]

well, you can consider EXP carding Aurora if you want to one-shot

[fast steppe]

"without Eldridge or Aurora"

[quartz island]

you don't have Trafalgar either?

[fast steppe]

don't have aurora yet and idk if I want to sink cubes into light pool to pull her

[fast steppe]

not lbed enough and skills are all lv1

[quartz island]

ah, RIP

[slender turtle]

How are you supposed to tell what armor class sirens and arbiter are?

[ivory pawn]

For the boss sirens, you can turn off fleet lock, then engage to get a preview screen that shows their armor class amongst other things.

You can back out from that screen without losing anything.

[soft raft]

Do /sirenstats in #bot-spam
Tho for the most relevant ones (IE the Arbiters)

Hermit is heavy, Strength is medium, and Temperance is light

[sweet delta]

[warped acorn]

how shit is this

[soft raft]

On paper it's better than Champagne gun against medium armor but it's worse than it against light and heavy so don't even bother

If you want an actually worthwhile SAP gun, Raffello gun is there

[warped acorn]

alr

[stark quiver]

temperence got turned into empress

[soft raft]

Oh 💀

[gaunt cedar]

didnt someone here say you get one rest and regroup for no cost once a day in opsi?

[plain saffron]

yes, 24h cd

though i prefer saving it or abyssal or something

[gaunt cedar]

its always 50 ap for me in blue cities? you're talking about the order below fleet deployment right?

[plain saffron]

wait i'm dumb, wrong one, fleet redeployment is the free one

[fast steppe]

I noticed that my fleet with Alsace and lion can hold 4 salvos - can Alsace hold 3 and lion only 1 or do each get 2

oh nvm I just read their limit breaks they both have 2

[sharp comet]

i forgot, do they add these to the proto shop the moment the new pr season starts?

[soft raft]

No
LA-9 and the other gear from PR7 won't be added until like January or whenever the PR7 catch-up comes out

[stark quiver]

[fast steppe]

holy fuck wait this might actually work I can hold the first salvo and save it for when jintsuuM starts getting more vulnerable

[sharp comet]

ok ty

[fast steppe]

I vaguely recall seeing a loading screen tip somewhere that manually aimed BB guns deal more damage than auto - is this true

[soft raft]

Yes but it's not worth it

[sweet delta]

assuming they both hit, the first volley of each salvo gets a +20% bonus on manual

[eternal moth]

Ah, so they couldn't resist introducing yet another KMS DR

[fast steppe]

ic

[sweet delta]

assuming the BB's main gun is 70% of her damage and you aim well, then you'd get like 5% more damage from the BB with manual

[soft raft]

Yup lol

[late flame]

instant build, i like her VA

[fast steppe]

does a purple manjuu increase CV damage more than a catapult

[stark quiver]

no

[late flame]

its main purpose is for timing airstrikes

[stone sluice]

Research gun may be a BB gun good vs heavy

[wind hazel]

jintsuuM doesn't have many planes right? if I've only got one rainbow twin 76 should I put it on my best BB for the extra hit or does it not matter

[stark quiver]

more hit in backline
unless you already have 100% hit rate

[fast steppe]

holy shit jintsuuM oneshot

last bit of damage I needed came from holding a second airstrike until 00:06

[inland tusk]

what is this, and how to remove it?

[wind hazel]

restart the game, visual glitch, probably from shipyard

[plain saffron]

That means she's getting close to expiration date

[wind hazel]

hag status

[fast steppe]

sandy you good

[hot oriole]

Hi

I want to build a mob fleet and boss fleet

(now I have good gears for all of them)

[slow fox]

Splendid make a thread and we'll flock to you like tryhards to the next meta fight

[hot oriole]

Ok

Cave man learns how to build fleets

There you go

[ocean pilot]

Halo, how much new UR release per year? Im afraid my bulin cant MLB Trafalgar because of new UR. I saw 2 UR and 1 SR

[wind hazel]

4 minimum

recent years have dual UR so around 6 or 7 sounds right

[wind oxide]

its like a dual, a single, a dual and a single

so 8 i think

[ocean pilot]

Oh that's too much ships
Does MLB rerun ship like Bismarck and Yorktown 2 still good? Or just leave it be
Right now im focusing on traf because i saw ppl use it on meta kawakaze

[wind hazel]

if you mean zwei, she's still great

yk2 is still good too but has a lot of other competition, and stricter pairings

[ocean pilot]

I assume the priority is below zwei, thanks

[wind hazel]

yes way below

[hot oriole]

I made a thread

and now waiting for people who come and help me

[wind hazel]

can you answer the thread

[fast steppe]

need recommendations on 13-4h

[wind hazel]

run triple CV mob, i'd move sandy to boss, remove helena, flag alsace

[fast steppe]

only other usable CL I have is seattle

[wind hazel]

sure i guess, just chuck her in mob

[fast steppe]

actually will Sirius do

[wind hazel]

sirius is nice too since triple CV

either one works

[inland tusk]

I have restarted, and the boxes are still there sir

[fast steppe]

is taihou med or heavy

[stark quiver]

Should look on wiki

[wind hazel]

sounds like corrupted files then, maybe repair assets, so if that fixes it

[inland tusk]

oh sorry, that's my turbo game timer 😂😭🙏🙏

I never activated the turbo timer, so I don't know, I think it was a glitch in the game 😭😭🙏🙏

[fast steppe]

do campaign bosses follow the same armor type as their obtainable versions

[stark quiver]

They should
Retrofits change type tho sometimes so

[fast steppe]

btw does fritz want to run wyvern or another fighter here

[rapid grail]

quick question; does the pr8 release happen after this event ends?

[wind hazel]

both are fine but wyvern sounds nicer to me. why? idk

[hot oriole]

How can I know which gear is the best to put in my ships?

[wind hazel]

refer to this guide https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/

[hot oriole]

Okie dokie

[stark quiver]

I just want until some good player make a fleet and I copy and paste

Or I make one myself

[hot oriole]

[sinful spruce]

what are drop rates for elite ships in maps?

[wind hazel]

gph pro h4x life tip for gear guide:

1. Go to https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/ and make your fleet
2. Purposely give your fleet some questionable gear, like double AA radar on SanDiego
3. Post it here.
4. Wait for people to get mad and start lecturing you on what to use.
5. Copy their fixes.
6. ???
7. Profit.

[stark quiver]

Nobody knows

[hot oriole]

Hmmmm

[cobalt robin]

at least 0.01%

[hot oriole]

There're something I need to learn

[hot oriole]

Best way to build your ships' gear

[cobalt robin]

Is double washing machine higher eva than washing machine+ beaver?

[stark quiver]

I don’t think you can run double rudders

[cobalt robin]

you can't?

sadge

[rapid grail]

yeah
but u cant stack rudders
next best combo is rudder + beaver; then rudder + crystal ice bomb (from ryza collab)

[cobalt robin]

Ryza collab soon les go

[rapid grail]

pretty boring ngl, maybe the grind's a bit tiring

[stark quiver]

Oh another PvP aux
More fleet power xddd

[split gazelle]

double rudders like this?

[stark quiver]

It’s still not good

Just run beavr

[cobalt robin]

They should add a dryer then you could have a washing machine + dryer combo

[hot oriole]

I read the Equipment guide and realized that I didn't have any good CL-CA main guns

[cobalt robin]

Poverty options?

[hot oriole]

Ok

Still have something good

[split gazelle]

did you read the notes too for CL?

[stark quiver]

It depends if the CL can equip dd guns

[hot oriole]

Still use poverty options

[cobalt robin]

Is the 2nd dd gun worth crafting?

[split gazelle]

like 90% of my ch11-12 gear was poverty

[wind hazel]

it's very cheap and cost effective, very worth to craft as transitional upgrade

[stark quiver]

Same

[cobalt robin]

Alright

[hot oriole]

Craving for Twin 40mm Bofos STAAG

[cobalt robin]

Sexy bofors 🤤

[cobalt robin]

Just spam researches you'll get staag and haze eventually

[hot oriole]

Full of Bofos

[cobalt robin]

My lion has a sexy staag

[hot oriole]

We need to build the cult of staag

[stark quiver]

My lion has a twin 76

[wind oxide]

Ahahaha do they really get mad?
Gotta make em more mad

[cobalt robin]

You gotta ragebait them

[wind oxide]

Nah i do ragebait and im dead meat

[gusty olive]

Is it true that Halford's skills are bugged or something?

[balmy wharf]

Is Trafalgar any good? What is she best suited for?

[wind oxide]

trafalgar's really good i mean that 10% eva debuff is way too good

[balmy wharf]

Better than mog or z52?

[strong tartan]

they do different things

all the rainbow shop dds offer something over the others that make them stand out enough

[wind oxide]

AA, tanking wise Z52 is kinda better

[strong tartan]

z52 doesn't have the eva debuff

[balmy wharf]

ah so she’s specialized in debuffing then?

[wind oxide]

But they're roles wise very different

[wind oxide]

ye

[balmy wharf]

How does she compare to Helena for the debuffing role?

[wind oxide]

helena's debuffing if procs right is the best still

Who do you have from the perma banner?

[fair lance]

If you have no UR ships pick Shinano

[wind oxide]

Shinano

[river sedge]

Shinanoo

[left cedar]

so no H-39-CV once again ...
and one more BB ... why so much BBs and almost no CLs ...

where is cheeky to say about options for new UR Gear

[balmy wharf]

Yeah, why do we get all these BBs when what we really need is a DR/UR SS or IX?

[wary skiff]

2nd wyvern or 2nd ur dd gun or a 1st rat aa gun for prio from gear lab?

[wind oxide]

I'd get the AA gun

[hushed sorrel]

only a small playerbase will play whats actually good. each their own

[hot oriole]

😭

[wary skiff]

Would it be better to run it if I can only +10 it for now? I have this 13 on lion

[hot oriole]

After some adjustment in my fleets' gears

[wary skiff]

I felt that way too, I want a UR sub or UR BC 🤷

[hot oriole]

The only shiny things in there were staag😭

[wind oxide]

I mean if you can afford it then why not but if you cant then it's just a +5 HIT

[wary skiff]

Tbf I don’t know how significant +5 hit in the grand scheme of things other than it’s +5 lol

[wind oxide]

It's considered just a min-max strategy so dw bout it

[wary skiff]

I’ll probs wait for that until I can +13 out of the box and get another wyvern for now ty

[warped acorn]

enty does how much % of lion dmg?

[hollow gust]

Cause they need more German ships , and the Hman's favorite class is battleships

[wind oxide]

Who's Hman?

[cobalt robin]

What do I have to select to do the c1 farming method?

[tropic tusk]

zoom in urself 😄

[cobalt robin]

Thanks

[cobalt robin]

I can do it in any zone right?

[tropic tusk]

yes as long as all setting same it will loop till either u got units die/no ap/akashi shows up

[broken anchor]

Any of the ships in Core monthly worth picking up?

[wind hazel]

independence

[hot oriole]

I need UR crafting materials so bad

But I don't know where on the Opsi I need to grind

[cobalt robin]

Grind opsi

[cobalt robin]

Finish story, do c4+, sirens and strongholds

[hot oriole]

Aight

Thank you

[cobalt robin]

Arbiter as well if you can

[hot oriole]

Btw, Is Helena Meta worth to invest in?

[cobalt robin]

I don't know much abt meta ships

But most aren't worth it

[late flame]

gold (SR) meta ships are mostly decent
helena meta does provide fleettech CL +1 FP at lv120

purple (elite) meta ships however are purely collection / fleettech only

[compact helm]

does a 2nd copy of ur ship have any uses gameplay wise if i already have that ship at max lmb?

[late flame]

outside of display skin/flex, nope

[compact helm]

ty

[slow schooner]

Hi, got 2 questions:

1. Is there some standard for how far should I be into the game relative to how long I've been playing? Or more simply, how long does it usually take to reach the end game?
2. Is it possible to deal with end game stuff without fully min maxing?

[late flame]

1.not really. i've been playing AL for almost 3 years now but i'm too lazy to finish up w14-15 lol
(i have all the required ship and most gears)

2.yes, min/max isnt required for end game
-personally i'd say that min-maxing gears would definitely help

[whole crypt]

lategame can be reached in like a few months with optimization but it's not going to be fun because a lot of things like gear and tech is built up over time

[wind oxide]

And its real coz i did just that

[whole crypt]

it's possible to deal with lategame without absolutely minmaxing but the less you have the more RNG you have to deal with

[slow schooner]

That's good then, I just got a bit worried after getting decimated in my first abyssal attempt

[wind oxide]

actually you can heal and there are nearby enemies to clear off the debuff

[slow schooner]

yeah but I mean like after getting past ~50% I pretty much couldn't deal any more damage to it

[whole crypt]

with "average" minmaxing you can probably beat abyssals comfortably in about half a year to 9 months

[crimson marsh]

anyone know when the next perm UR will be added?

[whole crypt]

Soon™

[wind oxide]

no one can estimate really

[crimson marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/assassination-classroom-anime-richtig-ja-korrekt-gif-12747251502082304891

okie doke

[whole crypt]

next on the list is Musashi check when Shimakaze was added last year

[crimson marsh]

would it be worth it for me to use my free 400 UR on vanguard then? she’s the last perm one i need

[whole crypt]

are the others MLBd

[split gazelle]

for reference im about 4-5 months into the game, almost have all of opsi cleared (except for abyssal hard). but this is with min-maxing/meta gaming

[crimson marsh]

i believe New Jersey is and Shinano is close to it, but the others arent

[slow schooner]

Thanks, should be a good benchmark

[whole crypt]

take dupes to finish them first

that way you save bulins for new URs

[crimson marsh]

okie doke, thank you good sir

[late flame]

hmm
https://azurlane.yo-star.com/news/2024/07/17/maintenance-notice-7-18-12-a-m-utc-7/

[warped acorn]

what does enchancing with coin means here

just to confirm if my thinking is wrong or not

[split gazelle]

coining to dev30 / fs5

[warped acorn]

well is the "times" print or

[sacred dragon]

enhancing with coins is one of the reasons why i am always poor in this game

[late flame]

you will use up all prints (that you have on hand) for that research ship first before you can use coins

[warped acorn]

a

[late flame]

i use double bidders i'm not gonna bother to roll sub cats

[split gazelle]

it is recommended to only "coin" 10x a day btw, more will just be very expensive

[warped acorn]

oh well since i havent develop any ship yet

[warped tartan]

Is uss kansas good?

[late flame]

ask again when she is out

[warped tartan]

Alright

Priority is PR right? Just like Lion?

[fair lance]

Lion isn’t a PR nor a DR

[warped tartan]

She isn't? Oh

[late flame]

PR = Priority i.e. gold (SR)
DR = Decisive i.e. rainbow (UR)

[warped tartan]

What's Lion's then?

[fair lance]

UR she’s a gacha unit not a research unit

[warped tartan]

So PR and DR can't be pulled?

[crimson glacier]

yep

[fair lance]

Nope they are available all the time.

[late flame]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/research/

[warped acorn]

how long can anchorage withstand kawaM

[undone plover]

I think from what renhex tested only laffeyii napoli and eldridge can tank the whole fight
Or at least enough to last for 4 salvos

I would guess anchorage dies sometime between 3rd and 4th salvo of your BBs

U can test her and see but if u dont have any of the 3 I mentioned anchorage is probably still your best bet to tank this fight

[warped acorn]

oh

[tame orchid]

Is the new pr weapon worth to farm or should I stick with la 9

[wind oxide]

They havent even revealed the new weapon yet

[tropic tusk]

ma dude maybe wait till at least they show wep n ask lol

[tame orchid]

Oh I saw people talking about reload and thought It got released mb

[tropic tusk]

wt reload

[viscid swift]

we don't even know all the ships yet

[timid saddle]

Is she good and what does she do?

[wind hazel]

as her name says, she's terrible

[soft raft]

Decently average regular DD
Roughly on par with the retrofitted starter DDs for a frame of reference

Other than that, she does give +1 FP DD Tech

[narrow kiln]

can i have your opinion: will wyvern be better for mobbing or for boss fleet?
Now I'm planning to start doing it, I want to know your opinion.

[wind hazel]

kinda depends on the fleet

[soft raft]

It can work fine in both (Especially since you'll use parallel TBs like Wyvern for both mobbing and bossing for basically everything besides OpSi bosses)

but usually mobbing has higher priority for it, especially in AA heavy content like W13 and W15 since Wyvern is one of the two TBs with the same interception capability as fighters

[narrow kiln]

...
Retrofit doesn't give tech points?

Is Helena a good ship?

[wind hazel]

yes

[valid spoke]

Opsi fleets

[muted crescent]

only adds to ur retrofit collection

can someone explain what to do in OpSi? I just started it today

[wind hazel]

always take tierlist with a grain of salt though, putting 6 high tier ships together doesn't always make it the best option.

[white hare]

yea they said they will update it later this week

[crisp raven]

thanks

[soft raft]

They've been delayed quite a bit due to there being fewer evals than before and most of them are busy with other things IRL

[viscid swift]

and it'll probably take them 6 months for the next update

they killed cheeky before he could finish renaming himself

how do I check locked ships?

[sweet delta]

Does Centaur buff her own airstrike by 15% avi?

[broken anchor]

Anyone who the odds/chance to get Akagi/Kaga from 3:2?

[viscid swift]

0 because they don't drop from 3-2, they have a 0.75% chance each of dropping from the boss node of 3-4

[broken anchor]

Oh? But there aren't the boss in 3:4? Or am I tripping

[viscid swift]

you are tripping

[broken anchor]

Roger

So you fight then in 3:2 & 3:4? I'm gonna run a 3.4 now I feel like so confuzzled

[viscid swift]

I don't remember the 3-2 boss but they are the boss in 3-4

[broken anchor]

You fight Hiryuu in 3.4 not Akagi or Kaga....

3-2 is Akagi...

[viscid swift]

oh right, anyway, not that important

[storm olive]

The boss you fight is irrelevant to the drops you get, 3-4 is the only place where akagi and kaga can be obtained

[broken anchor]

I agree. Just trying to farm the right boss for the drop. Wiki just says chapter 3 and a youtuber said its 3.2 for drop. So I just don't know 👉👈

[viscid swift]

you know the wiki lists all the ship drops for each stage right?

also stop watching AL youtubers

[broken anchor]

Wasn't a an ai, was a large channel, video from like 5 years ago. 😶

[viscid swift]

never said it was Ai, and I don't care how large their channel was, if they actually said they dropped from 3-2 then they're an idiot and not to be trusted because they can't even get very basic information right

[broken anchor]

My bad, AL... didn't realize you meant azur lane... I'm sowwie 🥺

[cobalt robin]

Also shouldn't be farming for them unless you're a late game player and want the collection and tech

[sweet delta]

for research purposes, what was this large channel

[viscid swift]

oh this'll be fun

[cobalt robin]

Lmao

[broken anchor]

Well I need to grind commander level at the moment, and I was told to just play to get my level up

[cobalt robin]

The highest stage will be much better than grinding for kaga and akagi

[broken anchor]

Also I guess not big channel but video has a lot of views https://youtu.be/-IEveM4D0EA?si=UnSqoYTQpN9FNdFS

[cobalt robin]

"beginner's guide 2024" and they told you to get kaga and akagi?

Do not trust a single word coming out of that channel

[broken anchor]

I don't they say get, but it's mentioned that it's available they do over the drops for each stage up to 7.

[viscid swift]

I already hate this not even 5 minutes on

it's too long and rambling for this to be in anyway a competent begginer's guide nor is it structured very well

[cobalt robin]

Anyone mentioning kaga and akagi in a "beginner's guide" is a fraud

[viscid swift]

also a lot of this advice was dated even at the time of the video's release

I mean recocmending getting Roon Muse from the core data shop in 2024

[cobalt robin]

When default roon is just better..

[sweet delta]

roon muse was relevant in guild/opsi in...2021

[viscid swift]

"Ayanami is very strong, one of the strongest torpedo ships in the game.....very good"

[cobalt robin]

😭

[broken anchor]

I feel dumb for watching the video now....

[sweet delta]

coalition EX players know how infuriating her RNG is

[cobalt robin]

You're better off not watching any videos and just asking stuff here

[sweet delta]

it is not your fault, video with many views = good video supposedly

[cobalt robin]

The only Al stuff I watch are lore videos

[broken anchor]

I assumed so.... but I was very wrong

[viscid swift]

do yourself a favor and read an actually good begginer's guide
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/dayonetips/guildshop

[broken anchor]

I think one thing they mentioned that was useful is the toolbox repair thingys....

[cobalt robin]

An actual good tip.. no way

[broken anchor]

Unless those are no good either?

[cobalt robin]

Yes tool boxes are very good and you'll be using them a lot

[viscid swift]

not everything he says is wrong but it's sprinkled inbetween a lot of ass advice

[barren kettle]

being a new player myself (not even played a week yet) and i've found this to be super helpful. though i do believe it mentions that portland and someone else is needed for some beginner quests. and i think that information might be dated

[viscid swift]

it is

[cobalt robin]

It's like sprinkling salt and spices on a pile of poop

[viscid swift]

like, there's a lot nitpicking I could do but

[broken anchor]

Is indy Portland worth running at all?

[viscid swift]

here's one really good example of why the advice in the video is bad

"Indianapolis just makes the fleet very slow"

[stark quiver]

Sup gph

[split gazelle]

Portland yes, indianapolis no

[viscid swift]

he's right that you shouldn't use Indianapolis and not bother leveling Portland's best sister skill but his reason is completely wrong

you don't use Indianapolis because she's bad and doesn't make Portland all that much better

[sweet delta]

thank you for your service in watching the video

[cobalt robin]

Cheeky might do something to that ytber at this point 🙏🏻

[viscid swift]

I'm not even 5 minutes in yet

[broken anchor]

Aren't skills overall the biggest reason to pick one ship over another though?

[viscid swift]

no

[cobalt robin]

One of the reasons

[viscid swift]

there's a multitude of factors
skills are one of them but base stats and what gear they can equip also matter quite a bit

[sweet delta]

hypothetically, there could be a ship with 99999 HP and 9999 FP but zero skills

[cobalt robin]

Sounds fire ngl

[broken anchor]

Idk I'm digging to deep but the way of min maxing the fleet so skills synergize and then the timing of things and what kind of rounds their guns shoot and against which enemy etc etc etc it's like never ending?

[stark quiver]

I have watched almost every single Azur lane beginner guide video
None of them are good

[broken anchor]

And I'm no one where near that point... but I'm the kind of person that wants everything perfect and I feel like I'm gonna loose my mind before I get there lol

[viscid swift]

yeah don't

among other things, synergy does not always mean better

lets say for istance we have 2 ships with otherwise identical stats but one has 10 firepower stat and the other has 100
and lets say the irst ship gets her fire power stat buffed by 10% when sortied in the bypotehtical fleet we are building

you would still choose the 2nd ship becaus 100 Fire Power stat > 11 fire power stat

[sweet delta]

the best ships like Lion have synergy with everyone 🦁
10% damage for the whole fleet 📈

[split gazelle]

That's what this channel is used for, helping people understand the game or just helping people build setups.

Don't have her 😔

Her

The sisters I have

[split gazelle]

Please tell me you have kazagumo already

[sweet delta]

they're in Medal shop, and they were below average. Now with augment they are above average perhaps. But above average isn't good in the grand scheme of lategame

[cobalt robin]

Nope

[broken anchor]

Aug, meaning augment like the little thing in middle of gear screen?

[split gazelle]

Well that would've been a cool DD to get from medal shop instead

Sadly no

[stark quiver]

no

[rain vine]

we wont know anything until the night before the release

[storm olive]

wait for thursday datamine as always

[sweet delta]

if you already invested in her level 70 and Max limit break (MLB), then she happens to be better than portland. But that cost should be avoided by new players

[broken anchor]

I feel like I show my main fleet but I'm gonna get roasted...

[stark quiver]

same

[surreal belfry]

OK, I can just see the new Netherlands ship need or Netherlands ship or like giving powers to Netherlands ship which is not really needed it for others and that’s not really epic Rasta of NL ships

[strong tartan]

we don't do that here

[sweet delta]

we do that tenderly

[tame jungle]

sometimes we do but that's usually paired with suggestions on how to improve the fleet as well

[sweet delta]

the main fleet looks fine

[stark quiver]

its actually, not that bad

[tame jungle]

this is a lot better than what we usually see

[dreamy blade]

It's fine assuming you are working on uni retro

[soft raft]

I've seen way worse

[sweet delta]

the vanguard is not

[soft raft]

Also doesn't Maryland need flag position

[broken anchor]

(Planning on replacing taihou with Enterprise)

[rain vine]

just move maryland to flag

[sweet delta]

no need for portland anyways

[broken anchor]

Move to flag?

[strong tartan]

flagship position so where taihou chan is

[robust onyx]

Middle position

In fleet build

[broken anchor]

Gotcha, and just so I know why am I moving her there?

Doesn't the ship is middle take less damage?

[strong tartan]

her barrage is based on where she's positioned so if you put her in the flagship position her barrage would cover the screen, that goes for most battleships that aren't rainbow

and flagships take more dmg so it's mostly best to put your tankiest backliner in that position as well

[soft raft]

That's for the Vanguard
Middle position backline is the flag position, and if the flagship dies, the whole fleet goes down with her

Also having a BB in flag besides being more bulky, it has equal coverage against suicide boats

While if it were at the top or bottom, it would struggle to reach suicide boats that are too far from it

[broken anchor]

Makes sense.... I've wondered why my battle has ended when I've lost like 1 ship.....

[robust onyx]

Battle end if all vanguard or flag die

[sweet delta]

or if all enemies die

[broken anchor]

So tank in flagship for the back line and squishy ship in middle for vanguard!

[robust onyx]

Taihou has lower survivability compared to Maryland

[broken anchor]

Maryland is tanky so she should be flagship 😊

[robust onyx]

Yes

[sweet delta]

Actually she will take the most damage no matter where you put her. Since the other two are carriers, they are concealed and generally won't be targeted by arcing shells. Enemy BBs and CAs will target Maryland because shes the only one they can see

So the reason for Maryland flag is suicide boat defense and her barrage

[dreamy blade]

Well that's more of a bonus you generally put BBs there bc of the mentioned suicide boat coverage and also for their skill barrages if they aren't centered

[broken anchor]

Also here is where I'm at for Unicorn retrofit. I've only seen it in pvp assuming it's because I haven't got one... when you do all the retrofit does say Unicorns name become - Unicorn Retrofit?

[sweet delta]

Airplanes choose a random main fleet ship to attack, independent of position

[dreamy blade]

Once you finish the modernization node

[sweet delta]

Skip the top and bottom row for now, go rush to modernization and then do the top and bottom

[robust onyx]

Though you still need that AA tab

[broken anchor]

In 8 hours I'll have both of Unicorns skills at 10 as well.

[narrow kiln]

What happens when you FULLY complete the OpSi story?

[stark quiver]

you monthly resets and new port shops

[sweet delta]

you unlock arbiter

[narrow kiln]

The monthly update opens on Chapter 4.

[narrow kiln]

Is it possible to win this without a max-level fleet?

[storm olive]

you can go back to normal arbiter infinitely so yeah

[cobalt robin]

You can do normal arbiter easily since dmg is saved even if you leave

[broken anchor]

Also just a random thing, the current event is so not new players friendly past easy and normal. I'm sure it's fun when you have maxed out multiple fleets tho

[cobalt robin]

No it's a shit event

[stark quiver]

i use a total of 6 ships for hard mode tho

[storm olive]

i used 18 but only 2 ships in each actually had gear equipped

[narrow kiln]

Is it possible to get gold and rainbow gear lab materials from them?

[stark quiver]

its gaurenteed for normal arbiter

[broken anchor]

Also why do you need so many freaking copies of the plans to craft a piece of gear.... kinda outrageous imo

[stark quiver]

bro does not know the research gear grind

[cobalt robin]

Not really, you'll get the gear steadily

[broken anchor]

Not level 60 yet

[stark quiver]

i honestly dont get the hate for this event
its rather easy

[cobalt robin]

It is easy but shit event

[robust onyx]

It super easy

[broken anchor]

59 almost 60... then I can finally do chapter 8 and opsi and a bunch of stuff 😊

[cobalt robin]

I think he meant academy research and not opsi

[broken anchor]

Not sure... I assumed they meant this

[stark quiver]

probably means the only locked slot
Which is gear lab

[broken anchor]

I was right UwU

[cobalt robin]

Well you should still be spamming researches

[narrow kiln]

Hooray!
I won't have to spend several eternities getting equipment!
XD

[stark quiver]

you wish

[broken anchor]

I do whatever one is cheapest

[cobalt robin]

Select pr7 and fill your queue up, you'll get some good gear steadily

/research

[cobalt robin]

This should help you

[narrow kiln]

I understand correctly that the best equipment from PR research (although, it is also important to get blueprints) is unique?

[cobalt robin]

What?

[broken anchor]

Oml.... I didn't even know that little button was there.... I'm so blind dude

[crimson glacier]

all research gear needs blueprints

[broken anchor]

No wonder I keep getting same things I had on pr1....

[narrow kiln]

Ahem.
I'll share this thought separately.
As I understand it, the equipment, or most of it from PR research, is unique.
Is that so?
And secondly. Despite this, it is important to obtain ship blueprints.

[crimson glacier]

what does unique mean

[cobalt robin]

What do you meant by unique?

Do you mean unique as in you can't get it anywhere else? No

[stark quiver]

most of research gear is unique to its season, barring some exceptions
it depends on the season
this should help

[broken anchor]

(Also I had no idea there was a Saint Louis and St. Louis) until I grinded out the get Saint Louis and and couldn't equip the St. Louis skin I bought..... I swear my brain doesn't work in some ways

[cobalt robin]

Mine doesn't work either

[broken anchor]

Is there a way to see all the different ships in the game, while in the game... I've been on some menu that was showing ships and a tab let me see how to unlock them before...

[cobalt robin]

Collection

[broken anchor]

Where do I find collection?

[narrow kiln]

Do you guys think with your brain?

[broken anchor]

Also this- I did just read the the little info thing so these buffs only apply to ships after level 120, but to all ships or? Is this something I need to worry about essentially?

[crimson glacier]

every ship thats the same type

[stark quiver]

class

[ivory pawn]

The ship does need to be either MLB or lvl 100 to get the buff, but it's not something to worry about until you've raised every useful ship you have.

[broken anchor]

Is it something I need to think about or is just by collecting and leveling ships?

[stark quiver]

i never look into that tab

[crimson glacier]

most of the ships that give good stats are really bad so

you kinda need to look them up to get real benefit, but it isnt worth doing before you have enough good ships maxed first

[broken anchor]

So for the two ships in the screenshot they both need to be max limit break to get the tiny buff?

[crimson glacier]

yes

and eventually its far from tiny

[broken anchor]

Understood. End game stuff.

[ivory pawn]

To get the cumulative buffs from every 120'd ship that gives a +CV buff.

[crimson glacier]

those arent CVLs tho

[ivory pawn]

Wait, Saratoga isn't? You saw nothing then.

[narrow kiln]

Can I have your opinion?
Can Nakhimov be without Dev lvl, weaker than Unicorn, without retrofit, but with MLB?

[crimson glacier]

mlb =max dev level

[broken anchor]

Do I bother doing anything with U556 META or Greenville META?

[stark quiver]

no

[narrow kiln]

Well, I know this fact.
I compare non LB UR ship with Elite, but MLB.

[crimson glacier]

so you are asking if low dev level nahk is weaker than non retro mlb uni

yes she is worse

[narrow kiln]

yes.

[soft raft]

Basically every research ship is strongly recommended to get to D30 asap since it's the equivalent to MLB

As for your comparison with Unicorn, that is fundamentally a flawed comparison since they do different things

[broken anchor]

Now about cats Meowofficers... important? They seem really complex in their own right to me at least

[crimson glacier]

i barely ever use cats

[stark quiver]

good cats are good

[soft raft]

If you don't care to min max that shit, get two gold ones to D30 in your OpSi mob for the cat nodes

[broken anchor]

Cat nodes.... that sounds interesting

[crimson glacier]

if you have the pirate cats use those

[narrow kiln]

I still think that due to... THREE planes at dev lvl 0, almost any MLB carrier has more damage potential.

[viscid swift]

my dude, it takes at max 4 months to get a DR to dev 30 if you hunker down and do research properly

forget about trying to use Nhakimov pre dev 30 and just hunker down on the grind

[forest palm]

PR8 is CB, CL, 2x BB so far, right?

[soft raft]

Iirc the dutch DR was CA
But yee that's the lineup so far

[forest palm]

[stone notch]

is there a team build guide for specific characters sorry if it's on the pinned messages but i couldn't seem to find it i need smth to build a team for admiral zenker and want to know if the other super rare ones i got are usable with her

[soft raft]

You don't build fleets around ships, you build fleets around content

Occasionally some ships do require specific synergy but that's relatively few and far between

[stone notch]

oh what should I do

[soft raft]

You can give this a read
https://azurlaneecgc.com/fleetbuilding/

Give this a read too if you haven't already

[stone notch]

thank you !!

[sinful spruce]

How should I improve my bossing fleet for opsi? Really struggling to clear strongholds and abyssal

[viscid swift]

better gear, higher adapts, more levels on your ships among others

[sweet delta]

Higher level, better gear, idk better ships, more adaptability, etc

[sinful spruce]

I need to be able to clear said stages for better gear, working on leveling ya but wdym higher adapts?

[stark quiver]

is helena even synced to anyone

[sinful spruce]

Wdym Synced?

[viscid swift]

offensive, defensive and tactical adaptability

[sinful spruce]

Ah

[sweet delta]

Wtf 200 in 6 days, did you buy?

[viscid swift]

yes

[stark quiver]

ew oil logger buyer

[viscid swift]

I don't buy the oil logger

[stark quiver]

i bought all adapts and on 140 average
hmm maybe its the 27 zones

[viscid swift]

you think

[wispy beacon]

Y not, oil logger give you better goodies

[sweet delta]

No

[viscid swift]

it doesn't all it does is allow you to use autosearch to clear the explorables

and frontload you with some of the rewards you get from clearing them

[stark quiver]

what if i clear all the zones and then buy it
do i get +40 blubox

[sweet delta]

I have 35 avg adapt with 3400 distance

[wispy beacon]

Yeah, but you lose a lot by that point

Just buy it as soon as the new month came

You get to use all of the logger's feature, especially if you are trying to knock out center boss within 10 mins of the new month

[stark quiver]

why u trying to speedrun harb

[hot tiger]

Still failed

[viscid swift]

wasn't really trying to be honest

[stark quiver]

buying just to buy

how do i bypass the 20s shield

[viscid swift]

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

read that

also limit break you ships

[sweet delta]

Have 82 CV rld and beacon saiun hvar

[stark quiver]

https://mrlar.dev/s/ec8a8bae7cedaa31c8f7c255b2074628771458c0
this is what i have cooked up

[viscid swift]

I just used my Kawakaze META fleet

[stark quiver]

does it one strike

[ivory pawn]

Swap Dunkerque and Long Island, as well as Portland and Laffey.

[viscid swift]

nah but who cares

[stark quiver]

me

[viscid swift]

it still one shots just fine

[stark quiver]

i have literally nothing better to do tbh

[viscid swift]

clearing OpSi, tech farming, etc

[stark quiver]

on y2?

im farming adapts rn

[hot tiger]

To which ones?

[sweet delta]

This flleet seems charred. Why using 1 CV 2 BB with CV cats. Much damage loss

[stark quiver]

i can replace lion with anyone im thinking fritz?

[sweet delta]

Swap their positions. Not with other ships

[last zenith]

did you know........ shipgirls in the middle of a formation take less damage then girls at the sides

[sweet delta]

That's correct for vanguard

usually

[sweet delta]

Get adapt and try

[stark quiver]

rip ap

i can always pull a goose and "blast through the shield"

[hot tiger]

Will this be good

[stark quiver]

switch laffey and portland positions
and switch long island and dunk positions

[worldly pewter]

use more bulins too

don't leave gear slots empty even if u have to use grey ones

[viscid swift]

limit break your ships

[weak dust]

whats best way to get dark blue cog awk chips

or is it just a daily wait thing

[hot tiger]

Now I need help with 3-3

[left cedar]

cheeky, Mecklen its a H-39 ?

[stark quiver]

get some levels and limit breaks and youll be good

[worldly pewter]

u can start by reading what we wrote

[worldly pewter]

arrays come mostly from the daily raid

u will only need them once u have to fight hard bosses and high level campaign

[viscid swift]

iirc no it's an H class hull but I don't know about an H-39 specifcially

here's what I could find "H-class inspired design with quadruple 30.5 cm turrets, with Hannover's secondary arrangement, albeit short a couple turrets to mount torpedoes."

[weak dust]

was just running low after cog aw+ my implap, just wanted to know the sources

[left cedar]

so tons of secondaries, with smaller but more guns ... ok lets see how they will do on AL, cuz one more BB ... i doubt that will be something that will broke meta

[fleet cosmos]

hi! im a new player, and am following this guide (https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/progression/pushcampaign) and just managed to reach Chapter 9 and clear the first stage for the first time (Manual Play) but am kinda lost on what to do now, since im not really strong enough to Auto Farm 9-1 for EXP and Coins. Could someone help me out and give me some pointers on what I should be doing ^^ would appreciate it a lot, I followed the Starter Fleet from this guide so this is what my fleet looks like atm.

[viscid swift]

you could start by getting 9-1 down to safe and stat leveling up a 2nd fleet

[fleet cosmos]

yeah thats what Ive been trying however 9-1 is not really easily farmable atm, not even on manual barely managed to clear it. hence why im looking for advice :o

Problem is im a bit afraid of farming before chapter 9, since oil cap isnt a thing and am worried of just wasting my oil

[viscid swift]

is it on safe yes or no?

[worldly pewter]

most likely u have gearing issues because the fleet looks alright
missing uni retro which is a massive step

[fleet cosmos]

yeah I just got Portland Retro'd and am now working towards Uni Retro

[fleet cosmos]

wdym with safe? sorry ^^

[viscid swift]

is the threat level of 9-1 on safe

[worldly pewter]

picked another ships with the same hull as uni that needs retro too might be not ideal

[fleet cosmos]

Yeah I think so?

[viscid swift]

no, it says lethal still

[fleet cosmos]

oh you mean that haha yeah no it isnt...

[viscid swift]

as I said, get it down to safe first then try farming

[fleet cosmos]

how do I get it down, by Gearing more and leveling up higher right ?

[viscid swift]

just clear the stage a few more times, tap on the threat level and it'll tell you how many more times till it's on safe

[ivory pawn]

With each threat level reduction, the enemy ships will suffer a debuff, making it easier and easier to clear. By safe, you should be able to auto with the fleet that cleared it.

[fleet cosmos]

ah okay, that makes sense. Im gonna try and get through it on manual play a bit more and then try again ^^

[forest palm]

[fallen jay]

Ok so I’m trying to unlock Roon and my last step is getting 2,000,000 exp with Iron Blood ships. What is my easiest path to doing that? This is all the iron blood ships I have currently

Cause I can’t beat nay of the higher levels I have to grind exp. And they aren’t strong enough to survive being carried through 9-1 by my main fleet

PS I also have a lot of purple Bulins so if I need to limit break some of these ships to give them a better shot at survival I can do so

[marsh sparrow]

do you have enough exp packs to make them mlb

[strange path]

I would use whoever you used to get the 1m exp mission ; ideally you would have a full iron blood vanguard and just spam chapter 12 (?)

But there’s really no rush, because you need to not only get roon but also get her dev30 + her augment that can be really resource heavy for players without an efficient gold farm

[dark hazel]

It's vanguard only btw, so just keep using Z23 to farm whatever you were farming and get it passively. If possible don't use non mlb ships

[humble tapir]

is hakuryuu better for mobbing or bossing?

[stark quiver]

shes good for both

[faint nimbus]

hello, can someone help my with my fleet, I can't clear the boss node in 13-3H

[stark quiver]

what other URs do you have?
no sandy?

[faint nimbus]

I have sandy, and she is on mob fleet

I have pretty much all the UR beside Guam, Vanguard and Unzen

[stark quiver]

whats your boss fleet?

[faint nimbus]

the one I sent is the boss fleet

mob fleet is raffy - uni - aquilla / z52 - sandy - shimanto

[fallen jay]

I do not.

[stark quiver]

swap sandy and juneau

[fallen jay]

I also need to finish the 1 mil exp mission... these are all the iron blood ships i have currently. none of them are strong enough for chapter 9 i was hoping you guys might have an idea of what i can do with this

[stark quiver]

that mob fleet should have more than enough AA if well equipped so sandy better in boss since taihou really hurts
no laffey2 i assume?

[faint nimbus]

oh yeah no laffey2

13-3 is zuikaku & shoukaku iirc

[hollow gust]

13-3 is relatively easy, you only really have to worry about taihou

[stark quiver]

oh i misread the stage, this boss fleet should work fine scepter on yk2

BBC

@atomic abyss sup

[faint nimbus]

[fallen jay]

so for iron blood what do i do?

[stark quiver]

deussctland and otto probably

[viscid swift]

forget about grinding Roon's CDC right now and push to W12 first

[fallen jay]

any advice on doing that? my main team wasnt strong enough to even beat 10-1

[viscid swift]

well what are you using

[fallen jay]

ok from left to right main first.
Unicorn, Bismarck Zwei, Enterprise.
Vanguard left to right
Portland, Z23, Helena.

[viscid swift]

why aren't you using a 2nd fleet

[sweet delta]

single fleet with 3 star bisz as the only BB

[fallen jay]

I dont really have a second fleet set up yet.
