[viscid swift]

well get one working up then

and get some limit breaks on your Bismarck

[fallen jay]

I have 5 UR bulins. do i use them all on her?

[viscid swift]

yes

no idea why you have waited this long to do it

[fallen jay]

I...am not sure either myself...

Ok Bismarck is fully LimitBroken now. and I still have 1 UR bulin left

so whole team 1 is fully limit broken. How do i build a second team?

[viscid swift]

well what do you have to work with

[fallen jay]

someone else put together my first fleet so im still lost on it

this is what i have to work with

[viscid swift]

Mob: Hood, Unicorn, Saratoga, Little Agir, Juneau, Otto
Boss: Bismarck Zwei, Black Rock Shooter, Enterprise, Portland, Helena, Z23

[fallen jay]

is that in left to right formation? So BRS and Unicorn would be the flagships of each team?

[wind hazel]

hood flag, zwei flag

there's enterprise on boss fleet too

Rascal does not dream of Enterprise

[fallen jay]

Ok i have both of them setup fully now. Now I just need to get them all the right gear

[viscid swift]

no, you also need to level them up

[fallen jay]

True. So for Black Rock Shooter what exactly should i be looking for her?

[viscid swift]

copy your gear for Bismarck Zwei

[fallen jay]

as shes part of the backline i assume she wants accurancy?

[viscid swift]

something like that yes

[fallen jay]

So I got her SG Radar and Fire Control Radar. them both have Hit increase

[viscid swift]

you don't have a White Shell for her?

[fallen jay]

Nevermind I do have a white shell for her! It was hidden because it was equipped to New Jersey

its golden and plus 8 currently

actually would type 91 ap shell be better for Zwei than the SG Radar?

[short matrix]

Is there a guide on what ships to use to beat the hard level of the monthly challenge bosses? I can reliably and easily pass normal but hard mode has been eluding me

[wind hazel]

https://suchiguma.github.io/challengemode/challenge-mode

[fallen jay]

I dont understand that image. what exactly am i looking at? I see what theyre called

[wind hazel]

options, from budget at the top to better ones at bottom

[short matrix]

grazie

[fallen jay]

is that the same for all the ships that can equip those? Or would it be different for Otto>

[wind hazel]

they are for your BB

[fallen jay]

alright

so then what would i want for Otto so she doesnt die in the mobbing fleet?

[wind hazel]

i forgot if eva works better for otto or double hp

just double toolkit her up, she's offtanking anyway

[fallen jay]

would repair toolbox be good for her? should i take the one off of Helena since shes in the boss fleet? and just give Helena the fresh one?

[wind hazel]

do you not have enough toolkit for all of them?

[fallen jay]

I have enough if i use the blue rarity ones as well

[wind hazel]

where's your thread, post your gear there

[viscid swift]

use your XP packs and boost her up to level 70

[fallen jay]

i used all 16 i had left on her shes now 44...

[fallen jay]

I have a thread called Team for Bravenwolf1

[viscid swift]

keep her in the dorm then

[polar lion]

PR8 this Thursday?

[viscid swift]

probably yeah

[soft raft]

prob yeah
the last reveal would be tomorrow

[autumn oriole]

What are the teams for 1shotting current meta

[viscid swift]

Check the pins

[hybrid pelican]

So when do the new research ships arrive?

[wind oxide]

This Thursday likely

[hybrid pelican]

Lets go

[hoary relic]

for bossing should i use white shell+ tpose radar or black shell with tpose radar?

[wind hazel]

white is often better

[hollow gust]

White shell is usually better , you shouldn't see a difference

[wind hazel]

#whitesupremacy

[stark quiver]

use black shell if you have 100% hit rate without white shell

[hoary relic]

👍🏿

[wind oxide]

What's that number cap on hit rate that you can call it 100%?

Hit rate is like 0.1 to 1.0

[sweet delta]

100% is 1 by definition

[stark quiver]

it depends on various factors

[wind oxide]

How often can we reach 100%

[sweet delta]

100%
100 percent
100 per 100
1 per 1
1

[hoary relic]

[stark quiver]

idk go calc it
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/

[sweet delta]

/calc you can try different ships, tech, and bosses here

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Calculator for precise fleet reload times by mrlar

[wind oxide]

Can it still be called 100% but it's actually below 100% but debuffs are applied?

[stark quiver]

100 is 100

any value thats not 100 is not 100

[sweet delta]

if it's under 100% but the debuff gets it to 100% then it's 100%

[wind oxide]

The actual ship's personal HIT rate is below 1 but debuffs make it to 1 then it's 100% right?

[stark quiver]

we measure hit rate by total AFTER including all factors

that includes gears ,tech, +13s , skills, etc

[wind oxide]

Yea right

[hoary relic]

erm when does pr8 arrive?

this week?

[wind oxide]

62 hours later

[hoary relic]

eh pr8 is still someting that i cant reach rn

[hoary relic]

erm how can we obtain f6f hvar mounted? wait untill it got added to gear lab?

[viscid swift]

That or the event gets archived

[stark quiver]

gonna be bricked to 4 runs a day

[viscid swift]

Should have farmed it when you had the chance

[hoary relic]

i joined after yk2 rerun so welp

[stark quiver]

use bbs

[paper ore]

is there a skill or a ship that boosts exp earned for BBs like how houshou and langley boost exp earned for CVs/CVLs

[hoary relic]

why dont u use exp books?

[paper ore]

i use them as I get them. never seem to have enough of them

[stark quiver]

they dont have 3 thousand on hand probably

[viscid swift]

No

[hoary relic]

i mostly spare at least 200 for new ships

[soft raft]

ngl I barely really consider running those types of ships

[stark quiver]

i leveled both langley and houshou alongside 2 bbs bc i didnt know their skil

[soft raft]

Do they even give enough of a XP boost to compensate when they dont match the faction

[paper ore]

ah. ok

[cobalt gate]

i never notice, but i only get 2k gold for beating normal difficulty of challange mode right

[stark quiver]

whichever difficulty youve cleared in the past, if you clear it again, you get 2k coins

[craggy sorrel]

what is the best way to farm material for gear in opsi?

and should i repeat secured zone too?

[split gazelle]

strongholds, abyssals, dailies, arbiters. farm C3 after you've done that and have AP leftover, just make sure you have enough AP for next rotation of dailies/missions

[sinful escarp]

always stop for akashi for more AP boxes

[lucid dirge]

what's the best way to farm Exp to 120 lvl for ships only for tech bonus? Idont want fully invest in them but i just need more BB RLD

[sinful escarp]

12-1 or 12-4, full fleets.

[fast steppe]

how does Fritz perform on heavy bosses

should I take enty instead

[lucid dirge]

even vanguard

[stark quiver]

set up a fleet with 6 ships with good tech
or 2 fleets with ships with good tech and run it thru 12-1 until theyre 120

[fast steppe]

there's cost limit so it doesn't really matter

[stark quiver]

better than enty, but needs a tb and probably a +13 la9

[lucid dirge]

what are good ships in vanguard with good tech bonus?

[stark quiver]

there are quite a good amount
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/tracker

[lucid dirge]

Thanks for advise

[split gazelle]

Cruisers: EVA -> FP
DD: FP

something like this iirc

[stark quiver]

enable these settings and see
hit isnt as important to frontline because frontliners come with a good chunk of hit stat
so more fp is better, but after/during fp grind, feel free to mix in some fp,
eva too but theres a small pool for that tech

[exotic wren]

CA or CL gun for Tallin?

[forest palm]

CA guns are gonna be generally better on her

[turbid patrol]

is there anyway to get san diego now

[split gazelle]

depends on your medal shop, otherwise get lucky with daily light pull

[turbid patrol]

oh i thought san diego got removed from medal shop

i will just wait for it then

[fast steppe]

nowhere near an la9 atm, so just use enty instead?

[stark quiver]

Sure

[desert tapir]

Hey I recall someone mentiong an alternate way to play on PC from Bluestacks?
What was that?

[split gazelle]

MuMu probably

[hot oriole]

Can't pass cr6 Opsi areas

[tame jungle]

that's not very nice

[turbid patrol]

are there any op siren guide

[split gazelle]

I would personally recommend to make a thread with your dock and make it that way.

https://azurlaneecgc.com/fleetbuilding/#opsi_fleet_comps this exists too but still recommend the thread way

[split gazelle]

wait im dumb. did you mean on how to actually do opsi, or did you need help with the fleets for it

[wind hazel]

maybe both

[loud scarab]

is there a way to get rid of a mewofficer other than feeding it to another non max level one?

[hollow pier]

Man the constant eldridge tax for vanguards on meta fights has me cooked. I started after her event left and the current meta fight applies so much vanguard pressure. No Laffey II or finished Napoli either. Is there an estimate as to how long the wait should be for Eldridge's retrofit item to come back?

[sterile jolt]

No one knows... Maybe year, maybe more.

[wind hazel]

should be soon, im guessing within next 2 months

[sterile jolt]

Oh wow

[hollow pier]

If that is accurate I would be very happy

I always see Eldridge recommended as the go to for vanguard survivability

[golden moth]

Hmm im curious..is it posible that this yr pr8 will be 6 ships will be released..sorry for the dumb question

[sterile jolt]

Not really

[golden moth]

Thansk for the 🔮 Haha..my bad

[boreal merlin]

How does pvp ranking work? Last last season I somehow got to 900 - 1200 rank, but now im stuck at like 1500 to 2000

[wind oxide]

Ask in pvp lol

[boreal merlin]

theres a pvp channel here?

[wind oxide]

Just below this channel

[boreal merlin]

ok found it. i didnt have the channel role picked

[forest palm]

[narrow kiln]

I will be getting a steering wheel (aka Improved Hydraulic Rudder) soon.
What class of ship is it best for?

[forest palm]

any Cruiser the only Hull Type that normally doesn't want it is DD

[rapid grail]

did k overshoot the pts needed for gold plated

[forest palm]

nah 50k is fine

[rapid grail]

I'll stop at 55k then. Lowcosting was surprisingly bearable for the oil used

[hollow pier]

For someone who hasnt completed PR6 or 7 yet, is PR8 something I should even have on my radar? Its my first time seeing a research tier release

[narrow kiln]

And for what purpose are you doing research?
(looks at my nickname, and at Nakhimov 12 dev lvl)

[hollow pier]

New demon IB ship is pretty and I want her

[cobalt robin]

Based

[hollow pier]

Would I be dumb to stop PR6/7 and just focus on PR8 to get her maxed out (and likely the other ships as DR takes so damn long)

[split gazelle]

depends on if you're a meta gamer

[gaunt cedar]

ask when pr8 comes out?

[narrow kiln]

Sounds like a logical reason if you got everything you wanted in the earlier series.
I will either do Dmitry Donskoy next, or immediately after Chkalov...

[narrow kiln]

Sounds like something I would do as a Waifu Gamer.

[hollow pier]

I have just started recruiting from PR6 and 7 so I am behind on heavy hitters from those series.

Id like to balance power and waifu hunting but thats a tough tightrope to walk

[hollow pier]

People were guessing either this week or next week but I am not knowledgeable enough to give you a proper answer myself

[gaunt cedar]

i mean im pretty sure no one knows if the ships are going to be good since they're not out yet

same thing probably goes for gear

[hollow pier]

yeah I guess that is the clincher. If the ships and gear are all crap, it would really skew things. Same if they were godly.

[warped acorn]

what pr3 ships should i develop

[split gazelle]

You could unlock your waifu but skip the dev30 part.. you'll have her.. just not usable lol

[gaunt cedar]

i read in guide that kitakaze is best from pr3

[hollow pier]

That is what depression sounds like in gacha form. I joined GBF for Ferry and they legit never released another unit for her to this day and she died in the meta right as I joined.

[warped acorn]

isnt kitakaze pr2

[gaunt cedar]

oh right

[fair lance]

We have haku’s fate sim but who knows for agir.

[gaunt cedar]

PR3: Cheshire > Odin > Mainz > rest this is from guide ih ave

i dont think any of these you're going to use though

[karmic pebble]

how many prints do i need for 30/30 daisen

[narrow kiln]

I can say that I personally started with PR7 because I was able to get Nakhimov before Chkalov (easier technology points conditions).
What YOU personally will do - only you can decide.

[warped acorn]

thinking to get ches or mainz lol cuz i have sandy

[wind oxide]

/devbp

[odd root]

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

[karmic pebble]

thanks cuh

[hollow pier]

yeah I started during the UR Amagi CV event and have had a ton of catching up to do. Ive recruited every ship from PR1 to PR5 and recruited one from each of PR6 and 7. I have PR7 on focus right now but god knows it takes a while to work through a season. I am maybe 1/3 of the way through? Prolly more with selector blueprints laying around. I figure the order I unlock the ships doesnt matter since the prints will need to catch up anyways

[narrow kiln]

In general, my attitude can be characterized by the presence of Retrofit Yamashiro on my account, despite the fact that this, in my opinion, is one of the most pointless investments. But she, like the class (BBV) seemed cool to me

[hollow pier]

Yeah screw it. Daddy going in on IB demon lady. Not like I am doing anything cutting edge anyways

[warped acorn]

where is the link abt shipyard priority

[rapid grail]

lvl 120 -> retrofit afterwards is the way for BBV retrofits

[narrow kiln]

I'm not sure I'll have her at lvl 120 anytime soon.

[novel solstice]

Enh, I retrofit them whenever. It's not like they're amazing before the retrofit, they'll do just fine in w12 grinding out xp as BBVs just like every other junk ship that you're leveling for the tech bonuses.

[split gazelle]

saint louis/roon > anchorage/fdg > avp/agir/hakuryuu is usually the priority
https://azurlaneecgc.com/research/#shipyard_priority

[turbid patrol]

both

i already doing it really dont understand it

[split gazelle]

Following the story will be your main priority for now

[warped acorn]

alr

[rapid grail]

its more of a starting at midgame thing. All the retrofittable BBVs give +1 BB RLD.

Wouldn't rec using them outside leveling stages.

[turbid patrol]

w12 is enough right

[split gazelle]

Yeah sorry I meant the operation siren story indicated by the [!] markers

[turbid patrol]

oh alr

[novel solstice]

If your fleets can handle w12, they can handle most of OpSi, so you should be doing opsi to get gear lab materials and gold gear plates and rainbow plates.

[turbid patrol]

currently w10 rn

[split gazelle]

just clear as much as you can in OpSi

[narrow kiln]

Well, I wanted to have BBV on the account in principle...

[novel solstice]

Clear whatever parts of it your fleet can handle, the rewards are still going to be useful to you even if you can't do all of it.

[narrow kiln]

And do I understand correctly that with the start of PR8, the catch-up system for PR7 may open?

[novel solstice]

Each zone will have a "corrosion rating"; lower numbers are easier, so start with the C1 zones and work up until you find where your fleets stumble. Then come back later to do the next part when your fleets are a few levels higher...

[warped acorn]

can kawaM slash dmg gets lowered?

[wind oxide]

Meta boss or the playable character?

If you're talking about the playable one then once the slash hits it does 100hp damage for 5 secs which is 500damage

[warped acorn]

meta boss

like get lowered down by shields etc

[wind oxide]

Maybe

[bleak nymph]

Was bismarck's oath skin l2d if you put it on zwei or did I hallucinate that

[narrow kiln]

Or how does this system work?

[boreal wagon]

catch up usually happens a tad bit after the new season

[boreal wagon]

it shouldnt be

[narrow kiln]

Also, remind me.
And when approximately do submarines start to matter?
(and are they important in events)?

[wind hazel]

as soon as you've unlocked daily raid for subs

campaign w14 onwards

[narrow kiln]

Is it possible that the company will continue (new chapters will appear)?

[wind hazel]

what

[wind oxide]

W16 coming very soon

[wind hazel]

you mean if there will be more chapters in campaign? maybe

[bleak nymph]

how much of a real difference do cats make when it comes to w14 onward? critical, nice to have?

[viscid swift]

where's neko's quote when you need it

[novel solstice]

They are a nice boost. You don't need to stress too much about getting an absolutely perfect cat, but just getting a cat with Flame is giving you 3% extra damage plus some additional from the stats, which is very worthwhile.

[turbid patrol]

opsi fleet

[narrow kiln]

Does anyone remember how much space there is in the dock at the start?

[fair lance]

I believe it's 150

[ionic kraken]

i'm gonna sound dumb but what is gear lab? and how do i get gear from it?

[hushed sorrel]

you need to grind materials from operation siren. and you can craft gear in the gear lab

[fair lance]

This is gear lab in the lab tab you get material for it from Operation Siren starting at commader level 60 iirc

[onyx chasm]

Given the current party (assuming I wanna remove some vanguard units) where would I want to farm for exp the fastest?

I was thinking 8-4 but idk

[viscid swift]

12-1

[onyx chasm]

I am NOT clearing 12-1 with this bro

Not with an S on each run at least

Tryna get this outta the way as quickly as possible

[cobalt robin]

It's doable, I did w12 with mostly poverty gear

[wind hazel]

you either mlb Zenker and xp book her up to lv70-80ish, or you use another ship, and still w12-1

[viscid swift]

you are lamo

either way 8-4 is a stupid idea, no oil cap

[onyx chasm]

Can't xp book her and I don't have other main fleet ships

[viscid swift]

what did you spend them all on, anyway drop her then and stick her in the dorm in the mean time

[wind hazel]

where did your xp books go

[onyx chasm]

Peter...

[viscid swift]

then why aren't you using her

[wind hazel]

peter is on the left

[onyx chasm]

Are you blind

[wind hazel]

deserved cheeky

[viscid swift]

ok let me rephrase that question, why did you book her all the way to level 100

[onyx chasm]

Whole reason I'm asking for somewhere other than 12-1 is cuz they'll just die and i'll lose morale for nothing

[wind hazel]

go 2/3 for now until zenker catchup with some level

next time dont invest all your exp books without reserve lol

[onyx chasm]

I didn't, I just didn't have a lot of books to begin with

[viscid swift]

my dude, W11 and the likes will be harder for your to keep your main fleet alive than W12

because there are a lot more enemy batteships to shoot at your main fleet and suicide boats to deal with

besides, I've dragged even level 1 ships through W12 before

[wind hazel]

swap z23 out for some AA ship if you wanna drag zenker, surely can survive

maybe 🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️

[viscid swift]

with cross fleets and if you build zenker for survability she'll be fine

[onyx chasm]

Any recommendations? Cuz the only reason i have these ships is cuz my main ones out damage bismark

[wind hazel]

sandiego

[onyx chasm]

Yep...

[viscid swift]

stick an AA radar and Fire extinguisher on her

stack the boss fleet with cross fleets and load that fleet with the best gear you have

[onyx chasm]

These are all the ships I got so yh

[ionic kraken]

is it faster to farm ops si for gear lab or farm a mission to craft a weapon for a ship?

[stone sluice]

Touch grass but don’t smoke it.

[viscid swift]

leveling a fleet with a UR Battleship in it is easy

[bleak nymph]

Can't you get unicorn? She makes your life for this so many times easier

[wind hazel]

ngl i thought that was SR bismarck lol

zwei+sandy will demolish it dont worry

[onyx chasm]

Never said it wasn't but again my other URs and ships out dps bismark in some way that I lose out on her getting mvp for like 3-5 matches

[onyx chasm]

I was using her until she started getting mvp majority of the time at some point

[wind hazel]

how

what's your zwei gear

[viscid swift]

shit gear, pretty easy to tell that much

[viscid swift]

yep, called it

[wind hazel]

yea ok change that main gun

put mk2 on her

[viscid swift]

or just an Mk6

[wind hazel]

fuck your lion, let lion mk6, we MVPing zwei

[onyx chasm]

What?

[wind hazel]

you have mk2 right?

[viscid swift]

who cares about main fleet MvP

[onyx chasm]

I do?....

[wind hazel]

i mean it's beneficial for this case

[onyx chasm]

Like what do you think i have a full iron blood main fleet for

[viscid swift]

you'll finish leveling main fleets well before you do vanguards

[wind hazel]

well it's for FDG exp grind......

[onyx chasm]

Again idc about leveling I'm just doing it for exp

[wind hazel]

yes rob your Lion, put mk6 on Lion, zwei gets the mk2

[onyx chasm]

Ok i swapped out the main gun

[wind hazel]

good, go grind

[viscid swift]

and make sure the rest of your bloody fleet is properly equipped

[wind hazel]

[cobalt robin]

How is bro struggling with +10 gear 😔🙏🏻

[viscid swift]

just because it's a farming fleet does not mean you should skimp out on gear

[wind hazel]

the wrong +10 gear will do that

[onyx chasm]

I'm struggling from success ngl

[wind hazel]

surely your peter and zenker are properly geared too

BTD1 moment?

[viscid swift]

Not that you need to take it to this extreme but

[cobalt robin]

Fire radar, shell, haze if I had all those when I did W12 😔🙏🏻

[wind hazel]

that's because you're n00b

[onyx chasm]

I swapped out zenker with uni again but yh peter is alr

[onyx chasm]

All cuz i gave lion her main gun instead of zwei 😔

[cobalt robin]

No you

[wind hazel]

well i mean zwei will do fine with mk6 too

you just had the wrong gun on her previously, hence the dmg gimp

[onyx chasm]

Yh it wasn't too long ago that i was maxxing out the event so yh

[wind hazel]

not sure what that has to do with using that shit gun...

[onyx chasm]

Tbh I just need to keep grinding opsi to the point i can make UR guns

[onyx chasm]

Coalition...?

[viscid swift]

you don't need UR guns to make W12 a breeze

you just need to know what's competent

[wind hazel]

no i mean, what does coalition got to do with using that shitty gun on zwei

[warped acorn]

what position do i change after i done build them

[viscid swift]

like this gun is on the safe to scrap list for a reason

[wind hazel]

this thing shouldn't be used, or even enhanced in the first place

[viscid swift]

it's worse than a purple Mk6

[onyx chasm]

Again, I never said I had issues with W12 I just said that my zwei was getting out-damaged by a bloody support 😭 (bro might be lost in the sauce 🙏 )

[viscid swift]

in fact scrap it now so you don't mistakenly use it again

[cobalt robin]

I'm starting to think he did that to ragebait you and cheeky

[onyx chasm]

Was told to use it if I didn't have anything better

[viscid swift]

that in my books is an issue
a level 115 Zwei should not be outdamaged by anything in that fleet unless you were tryong to make it otherwise

[wind hazel]

no shot

maybe you mistaken 406mm mk6, since same 406mm

[onyx chasm]

I had to use multiple ships and lion and musashi were carrying before I got zwei

[viscid swift]

I highly doubt that

[bleak nymph]

Speaking of BB guns, +13 or pass

[wind hazel]

i mean, still not an excuse

[onyx chasm]

No specifically that gun

[wind hazel]

find which dumbass told you that, and block him

[viscid swift]

how many Mk6s did you need for someone to tell you to use that

[wind hazel]

tell us who it is too so that we can block him as well

[cobalt robin]

What's that guy's address?

[onyx chasm]

Idk 😭

[viscid swift]

if you have non +13 it's a pretty easy +13 but I tend to hold gold plates until I need to +13 something for whatever reason

[onyx chasm]

The guys someone Ik irl so yh, he's been playing recently and got me back into the game after a couple years so yk

[bleak nymph]

I do have lion's main gun and (i think) enough gold plates to get that to +13 but idk what to do first

[cobalt robin]

Drop kick him please

[bleak nymph]

also have vit 2s that arent +13

[viscid swift]

well stop listening to them then, they're an idiot when it comes to the game

[onyx chasm]

It can never be that deep

[cobalt robin]

Yes it can

[onyx chasm]

I'll be sure to pass on the msg

[viscid swift]

like literally the Purple Triple 406mm Mk6 is the better gun

[wind hazel]

and they are literally free too

[onyx chasm]

So the lower rarity version is better than the gold?

[wind hazel]

and cheaper to enhance!

[viscid swift]

they're not the same gun

[onyx chasm]

Ah

[boreal wagon]

rarity also effectively means nothing most of the time

[wind hazel]

twin410 purple vs gold

[onyx chasm]

Also how much do i have to prog to comfortably start crafting the best gear for my ships

[cobalt robin]

You need to do opsi for that

[onyx chasm]

Yh ik i meant to put that in (mb)

[viscid swift]

do a lot more PR research, wait for some event gear to rerun/be perma

[onyx chasm]

I have all the slots maxed out basically all the time...

[muted crescent]

do more you must

[onyx chasm]

I mean it's not like i can't craft a decent amount of items it's just not the ones that go well with the ships i use from what I've seen

[cobalt robin]

Finish opsi story, clear c4+ zones, abyssals, strongholds, arbiter

[onyx chasm]

Well i'm not getting any of the red "!" anymore and I'm in europe so idk

[wind hazel]

it's hard to give a time frame, some of the BiS gear are event locked, some depends on your research progress, some depends on this and that

for reference I'm lvl 60 ☠️

[cobalt robin]

You're too early for that

[viscid swift]

well you're not making it past W12 lets put it like that

[muted crescent]

well no shit I can't even do w9 cuz I'm level locked let alone W12

[wind hazel]

need a little more level on your ships

[bleak nymph]

Gear wise, what should be my focus rn for zwei, running dual shell is silly? What should I aim for secondary gun?

[muted crescent]

not only that I need bulins for them

traffy and janus ain't got a single bulin to them

[wind hazel]

you should focus on 1 fleet either way

[viscid swift]

to be honest I'd more concerned if someone did have a fleet that could clear W15 and wasn't at W12 yet

[wind hazel]

and should have included helena.

[muted crescent]

I don't have her as a whole

[viscid swift]

which begs the question of why you're using them in the first place

[muted crescent]

acc I think I do but it's lvl 22 ☠️

[viscid swift]

get her from the guild shop

[muted crescent]

out of bulins and the rest are also no bulins like her 😭

[wind hazel]

zwei unicorn enterprise
neptune helena sandiego

use this

[viscid swift]

then don't use them, 0 limit break ships are shit

[narrow kiln]

and what is the average level of ships needed for strongholds, and do you need 2 or more fleets?
I accidentally discovered them while playing through the OpSi storyline and I want to know.

[viscid swift]

I swear I've stressed this enough

[muted crescent]

pls don't tell me to use all the starter ships, cuz that's all I have MLBed

[viscid swift]

well you can leave, heal in port, and come back as many times as you like without losing progress

[wind hazel]

time to change name, Rascal Does Not Dream of 0LB Ships

[viscid swift]

no but you could have used Helena instead

and she would have stuck around well into late game

[onyx chasm]

When is the next UR event again? Cuz ngl I've got some UR bulins sitting in my dock

[cobalt robin]

This stress isn't good for you cheeky 😔

[muted crescent]

tbf I have Ayanami atm MLBed, maybe I could speed build her when I get coins 💀

[viscid swift]

not until September probably

[onyx chasm]

[viscid swift]

no, just build Helena

[wind hazel]

also i swear you've asked about zwei gear countless time before havent you

[muted crescent]

welp, ok ig I'll just drag her in 8-3 and 8-4

[bleak nymph]

Wasn't me i promise

[fair lance]

Double shells is fine untill you can get a high powered standard radar, try and aim for a 45 FP secondary gun.

Switch crossbow gun out if you aren't fighting heavy enemies.

[wind hazel]

maybe another guy indeed

[narrow kiln]

hmm interesting.
Do they give a lot of gold and rainbow materials for gear lab, compared to the cleared zone 6 corrosion?

[viscid swift]

gold plates yeah, but you should be doing them all anyway

[warped acorn]

that high standard shit or black shell

[onyx chasm]

Ngl if I were to MLB anyone who would be the best out of: Amagi, Traf, Soyuz, Raff, Imp (Or i could just save...)

[viscid swift]

can you even max limit break any of them

[onyx chasm]

Yh

[viscid swift]

how many bullins have you got?

[onyx chasm]

5

With soon to be 8

[viscid swift]

Amagi I suppose

[onyx chasm]

Hm

[warped acorn]

how much adapts for file mission

[cobalt robin]

What's the best stage for coins in w13

[fair lance]

13-4

[cobalt robin]

Thank you kind sir

[muted crescent]

at w11 and above, X-4 stages are the best

[onyx chasm]

Who even is the next UR event

[inland shoal]

We have no idea

[viscid swift]

we don't know

[onyx chasm]

😔

[bleak nymph]

if you mean rerun, the closest possible one is unzen, if you mean actual new ur, we don't know

[gray obsidian]

don't we? #game-news message

[bleak nymph]

She's research, bonk

[ivory pawn]

That's DR, not UR. Same same but this is actually when we care about the different.

[viscid swift]

she's one of the next batch of research ships

besides why would they reveal a new ship more than 2 months in advance

[narrow kiln]

And, obviously, we don't have a server that's 1 year ahead of everything else?

[storm olive]

We have servers that are behind but not ahead (unless TW server caught up while I wasn't looking)

[viscid swift]

no, all 3 main servers are synced

[cobalt robin]

If we do get unzen rerun, she worth getting?

[eager mulch]

id rather have unzen than not have unzen but idk what your cube situation is like

[cobalt robin]

160 rn and I wanna pull on atelier collab 😔

[stark quiver]

Unzen will get perma’d

[viscid swift]

she's probably not rerunning until after the JP Anni anyway

[cobalt robin]

Alright

[bleak nymph]

but it's only been two years, are you sure?

[stark quiver]

After she reruns

[viscid swift]

he means eventually

where as the collab has no such safety net

[warped acorn]

how much adapt for file mission

[stark quiver]

The blue loggers?
0 if your fleet is good enough

[split gazelle]

you'll probably want to do those with higher adapts, nearing max I think.

[warped acorn]

hmm

[split moon]

is this useful

[stark quiver]

No

The su2 isn’t good
Helldiver better

Twin 90mm aa and bf109g are good

[cobalt rapids]

flan gun also good

[reef flume]

Ts good or bad? Never seen it before

[viscid swift]

why did you craft it before you asked but not, it's not good

[reef flume]

Cuz I needed to see how it was at +10 then ask

[viscid swift]

you could have used the wiki???

[reef flume]

I had lot of spare resources anyway

[split gazelle]

+13 or bust

[soft raft]

weak ass excuse when the wiki is a thing

[hot oriole]

Which gun should I put into New Jersey?

HE UR turret or AP UR turret

[cobalt rapids]

depends on the enemy

[hot oriole]

I often appear on Opsi to beat some bosses up

But sometimes It's DD, CA, CL

Sometimes it's BB, BC, etc

And I was confused about which turret should I take

[south sequoia]

Typically AP vs medium/heavy armor enemies
HE vs light

[frozen violet]

Good evening, I wanted to return to the game, but I encountered a problem: my account was lost, I tried all the methods. I would like to know how I can restore my account?

[desert tapir]

Yoink. and thank you mori

[hot oriole]

Ok, after a short consideration

I choose the HE one

[cobalt robin]

If you spent money and have the receipts it'll be easy to get it back assuming your account was linked to a 3rd party network. If it wasn't linked then it's gone, either way you should contact support via in game

[frozen violet]

The problem is that I only have receipts and various approximate, so to speak, entry methods.

[cobalt robin]

Receipts are enough, just contact support

[tranquil saffron]

Haven't seriously played the game in a while, what's the new meta BB fleet for opsi?

[sweet delta]

Opsi is easy so you don't need the top meta fleet, but perhaps it is Lion Alsace Bisz someone Trafalgar ply

[robust nymph]

should i care about this

[novel solstice]

Your wifu hates you, of course you should care!

[robust nymph]

yeah but i need her to level up and give me gold

[novel solstice]

Stick her (and anyone else going orange or red) in the dorm for a couple hours, and they'll recover.

Or just don't use her for a day while she recovers. The dorm makes it a lot faster though.

[sweet delta]

Considering that she gets halved exp at low morale

And you have to manually tap every battle of every sortie

[robust nymph]

this is being the annoying part, also didnt know about the xp. how low does she have to be to get half xp?

[sweet delta]

/wiki affinity

[odd root]

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

[robust nymph]

i put her in 2nd floor of the dorm

oh literally 0 okay, useful to know

[cobalt robin]

Poor Eugen doesn't deserve this cruel treatment 😔

[timid aspen]

Slavedriver.

[fast steppe]

what rainbow equip should i make from gear lab next i got a bunch of prints sitting around

[sweet delta]

More twin 76, a spearfish

[fast steppe]

my electronics might be the bigger bottleneck for twin 76 but aight

[cobalt robin]

Electronics cucks everyone

[wind hazel]

[rapid grail]

• more 100kai (ijn ur dd gun)
• at least 3 (one per UR BB for bossing/AA carries for late campaign mobbing) 76mm RF AA (american ur aa gun)
• one spearfish, optional

lol 76mm RF AA so good no one's considering the French UR AA lmfaooooooooo

[fast steppe]

hit is good

[fallen jay]

So should I spend some of my SR bulins to limitbreak Black Rock Shooter?

[sweet delta]

She's in your fleet so of course yes, gold bulins aren't so limited as UR

[pine inlet]

is the gear lab rainbow sub torp worth? which sub wants it?

[soft raft]

no not really

[muted crescent]

what should I grind next for a 2nd vanguard fleet

[cobalt robin]

what chapter are you at cause it looks like you're too early to be thinking of a 2nd fleet

[muted crescent]

world 8

[cobalt robin]

Not yet

Focus your recourses on your 1 fleet for now

[muted crescent]

well I have 1 fleet more or less built, I just need gear for that

[cobalt robin]

Then gear that fleet, too early to spread out your resources

[muted crescent]

what gear should I look out for to gear my fleet?

[cobalt robin]

/equip

[round maple]

Guys I want to ask, some strong fleet for chapter 13? I have almost all ships in the game well, except 2 free UR'S DDs Magador and Laffey

(Forgot to buy them before event ended 😭)

[soft raft]

Would be easier for you to post your dock in a thread so we have a better idea of who you have and how close they are to actually being useable

[misty terrace]

Haven’t played for a couple years, was wanting some direction. What’s still good among who I have, is there anyone I have worth building that isn’t built and for pulling atm do I just save and do my dailies for now? Also is there an operation siren guide and guide on the meta lab because idk much about them rn. Currently at ch13 as well

[novel solstice]

Unicorn is still the best healer in the game.
Current event ships aren't amazing, so probably just do one daily pull until the next UR event (which we get a lot of these days, so it probably won't be too long of a wait), unless you have a ton of cubes.

[round maple]

Uhh... Post like here?

[novel solstice]

Opsi in a nutshell: clear the story. After that, log in to grab the dailies every day, then do every symbol on your map until the map is clear, then near the end of the month burn your remaining AP farming corrosion-5 zones.

[viscid swift]

everyone left is largely tech

we don't really have a guide for OpSi but just clear everyone node, do the missions, and get what you need from the shops

just do a daily pull on the light pool for now

[soft raft]

Do one of these

[stark quiver]

i think this is a good mob fleet
hmm maybe replace zui with unicorn

[sweet delta]

Also get San Diego's unique augment and some others , see here for what's good
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules/
I would skip Hood and get Warspite, but if you waifu Hood and want to use her a lot then that's fine too

[viscid swift]

just want to get to work more on PR as a whole

[misty terrace]

Sounds good Ty

[misty terrace]

Ah ok makes sense, glad to hear it’s pretty straight forward

[misty terrace]

Ty for the link, I’ll give it a look and noted. Appreciate the help from everyone

[stark quiver]

and this boss fleet is good enough

[sweet delta]

Smh non activated Yorkii

[narrow kiln]

Excuse me, but won't Nakhimov lose a little bit of effectiveness in such a fleet?
like 20-40% of critical damage.

[fallen jay]

How many is a ton of cubes? Also is it a bad idea to use nay in research for blueprints for ships like Shina?

[stark quiver]

yes but its campaign
so syncing with soyuz isnt good
using a NP frontline also isnt good

[fallen jay]

Main thing holding me back with my newly built fleet is levels. And that can only be solved by grinding chapter 9

[viscid swift]

at least 800

[fallen jay]

Oof I don’t even have 110. Other than commissions what else do I do to get more? I haven’t claimed any of the rewards from main story or side events yet.

[fair lance]

I also wouldn't use any cubes in research unless you're at 1k cubes expect for 30 min face research you won't find too many of those.

[viscid swift]

just play the game and consistently

[narrow kiln]

thank you for the explanation.
however, I am not the most reasonable person, I will definitely not have problems with activating the skill.
And how unreasonable would it be to make a vanguard of 3 destroyers?
and can you tell me about the blue cannon that is located at Trafalgar

[stark quiver]

a vanguard of 3 good destroyers is reasonable
blue gun is the 76mm main gun, which has fast fire rate to proc trafs skill more often
the thing about syncing ships with each other in campaign is that there are multiple waves, so if you dump 2 ship's strikes into one wave, then the 2nd wave might be cleared fast enough, causing your fleet to take more damage

[fair lance]

you can find the single 76mm in eagle union boxes

[narrow kiln]

Thanks.
I see.

[novel solstice]

I regularly run world 12 with three-destroyer vanguards as I try to level up everyone.

[muted crescent]

who has priority for this aa gun

I have Nagato, Neptune, Bis Zwei to consider giving it to

[ivory pawn]

Backliners, in this specific case BisZwei should get the first.

[worldly pewter]

has anyone considered putting it on a cvl as a priority because of the hit stat ?

[native knoll]

Is it normal for alsace to do less than biz in the meta fight?

[novel solstice]

CVLs should get it once you have enough of them, but in general I'd assume that the BBs are out-damaging the CVLs, so increasing the hit on them will help your total damage more.

[native knoll]

Alsace has lion gun and better gear, she's firing before biz so it's not like she isn't getting off her shots and biz is. I feel like it has to be a accuracy thing

[undone plover]

show the whole fleet

is zwei buffed by plymouth?

[native knoll]

Plymouth is in the fleet yeah

[undone plover]

screenshot the whole fleet
we will understand more

[undone plover]

well
a few things that could make zwei do more dmg here assuming this is vs a meta boss is
1- is zwei oathed?
2- zwei just landed more shells (rng)
3- the gear is different (u said alsace gear is better tho)
4- overall zwei should have more dmg than alsace if the fight is long enough I believe so

[worldly pewter]

the total hit on the BBs will exceed the ones on the CVLs by a very big portion because of the aux so i thought a minor increase with the AA gun might be more worth there

[worldly pewter]

crit diff

[forest palm]

just an Alsac skill issue tbh

[native knoll]

Biz has consistently been doing a decent amount more

[worldly pewter]

he didn't share a result screen

[forest palm]

doesn't need to

[worldly pewter]

then how will u judge if there is a skill issue or no without results ?

[forest palm]

[native knoll]

My initial question was just if it was a normal thing. Let me get enough points and I'll get you a screenshot for damage

[undone plover]

i think it could be
altho is your vanguard dying?
if they die at a random time it might make the results more rng

[native knoll]

I do lose a little time at the end but alsace has a shorter reload so it's not like she is getting less shots off then biz

[stark quiver]

she looks pretty oathed to me

[stark quiver]

not enough hit
so its rng based

[undone plover]

so does alsus

[undone plover]

if u have a screenshot it would help
my guess would be in 3 salvos alsus should do more dmg to be honest but I dont have hard data for u

[worldly pewter]

i don't know why but i think i see alsace aim at the edge of the corners so often than the other ships

[vale spindle]

that might just be the preload, on auto preloads almost always whiff because not all enemies have spawned before it launches

on the non preloads it should be fine

[worldly pewter]

i hope so

[native knoll]

This one was a little closer then it usually is. Usually about a 60k diff

[stark quiver]

are you at 100% hit rate

[worldly pewter]

these numbers look very low compared to oath
most likely because of the black shell

[native knoll]

Should I be using white instead?

[worldly pewter]

yes u only use black for timing

[stark quiver]

if you dont have more than 90ish hit rate yes
i like to give myself a say 95-7% for hit rate
then id run black shell

[native knoll]

This might be a dumb question but how do I determine my hitrate

[stark quiver]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/
you set enemy to kwkz meta, input your ships, gears , oaths , tech etc
and then probably have to manually add trafs debuff

[forest palm]

do your BBs fire off a salvo close to the end like sub 10 seconds?

[stark quiver]

so for example my alsace has a 95% hit rate with this build +23 bb hit and aurora

[native knoll]

Vangaurd died probably 5 seconds before alsace fired her 4th salvo

[forest palm]

there's your problem then, VG dying ontop of Alsace not getting that salvo off

[sweet robin]

Best place to farm T3 Refit Prints?

[stark quiver]

use black if capped hit rate or close to 100%

[sweet robin]

I'm at Hard 12, drop rate is meh

[stark quiver]

hard mode ch3+
look out for guild shop, they sometimes have it

[warped acorn]

should i craft tenrai or 406mm mk7

[stark quiver]

how many tenrais do you have

[warped acorn]

0

[stark quiver]

tenrai, the jump from helldiver to tenrai is greater than mk6 to 7

[native knoll]

Okay, I'll look at the hitrate clac later and adjust my shells. That will probably help a good bit.

[warped acorn]

alr

[stark quiver]

how much bb hit tech do you have

[worldly pewter]

are u sure about this ?

[stark quiver]

you cant go higher than 100%

[worldly pewter]

not the hit rate it is about the damage

[forest palm]

I'm mildly curious if they have any RLD tech for that matter

[stark quiver]

hm?

[native knoll]

Not a lot

[worldly pewter]

u don't need a lot of tech if u have oath i think

[forest palm]

like I said it is an Alsac Skill issue

[worldly pewter]

8 might be almost tied with a non oath max tech

but max tech is already at the edge of the 00:00 mark so ur vanguards have to survive until the end

[worldly pewter]

i got brainwashed into the crit damage > crit rate at some point in the past

the evidence got burned though

[stark quiver]

its more fp, the crit rate in game is like hilariously low

[stark quiver]

with your tech, youd have around 90% hit rate with Zwei using this build
and 89.68% hit rate with this alsace build

[worldly pewter]

so it is mostly about the raw stats

[vale spindle]

how do u see the damage numbers i can't see them

[native knoll]

Okay so the reason you can get away with black shell and crossbow is because of aurora?

[stark quiver]

did you disable damage calcs

[worldly pewter]

are they oathed ?

[vale spindle]

ty bwo

[worldly pewter]

oathed and still under 90%

[native knoll]

Is that with oath and traf?

[stark quiver]

yea, its a simulation of your tech and ships

[native knoll]

Hmmm okay

[viscid swift]

it's a calc after all, anyway
do you have Eldridge retrofit

[native knoll]

No, I missed the retro item

[viscid swift]

rip

[stark quiver]

hyper unfortunate

[forest palm]

Eldridge is a mandatory if you want your vanguard to live

[zenith heron]

100% Evasion/ Invulnerability is truly something else

[native knoll]

Yeah, I'm aware. Just noticed the difference and was was curious what I was missing.

[viscid swift]

fleet tech, Tables, etc

[stark quiver]

[native knoll]

Seems like a lot of it falls on not being able to use aurora and swapping to white shells

[stark quiver]

yea, well 90% hit rate is alright

[viscid swift]

well there's a bit more to it than that but

[stark quiver]

holy mog you have more fp tech than me

[native knoll]

Let's see yours without aurora then

[worldly pewter]

it will be under 90% too because i don't have any oaths

[native knoll]

What am I missing?

[viscid swift]

have I got this right?

didn't think it'd hit 100 with just Trafalgar

[stark quiver]

are you sure you turned off assume 100%

[viscid swift]

ok yeah that's more like it

so even without oaths Lion still pretty easily passes 90%

[viscid swift]

well you have about half as much tech as I do, you don't have 2 +13 Tables for your battleships and you're missing Eldridge retrofit so your vanguard just doesn't live as long and you can't use Aurora

you're also not able to run Fritz Rumey which provides some screen clearing

your Z52 does about as half as much damage as mine

[zenith heron]

I was gonna suggest Anchorage but does she only get the 100% Evasion to herself only? while the others get 40%?

[stark quiver]

napoli would be better

[zenith heron]

also I wanna ask, if Smokescreen evasion can't stack their percentage from other ships who has it, are there any one who can possibly stack the Smokescreen Evasion?

[native knoll]

The question wasn't why I'm doing less damage then other people. The question was why alsace would do less then biz with better gear. I was trying to find the gap in my knowledge and it was essentially just hit and hit rate. But go off king. Congrats on your fleet tech

[viscid swift]

I mean, did you expect Alsace to do more?

for the same number of salvos, Alsace loses to most UR battleships, she only gets ahead because she has a preload among other factors

Alsace also debuffs the enemies hit by her barrage by increasing the damage they take by 12%

[muted crescent]

right so... I was told I should just max out one fleet instead of 2, what do I put on 1 fleet

[native knoll]

Then bizmark yeah kinda. Thats where this convo all started

[viscid swift]

also, since you're not using Eldridge, Alsace is gonna have a bit of a harder time hitting moving enemies which is about 2 salvos for this fight

[soft raft]

BisZwei/Unicorn/Enteprise Neptune/Z23/Helena

[viscid swift]

Zwei with her black hole never has this issue

[soft raft]

actually Sandy instead of Helena until Helena's lvls are higher

[muted crescent]

I could level Helena, I have books but I'd have to wait for 3 bulins next week

[viscid swift]

Also tip

Never use the black shell over the white shell on Bismarck Zwei

And white shell should be your default on battleships

[native knoll]

Yeah i was defaulting to black shell

[muted crescent]

isn't 1st barrage a guaranteed crit?

[native knoll]

I assumed I had enough hit

[muted crescent]

oh only 1st volley

[soft raft]

bold of you to assume that against a DD

[viscid swift]

Yeah most of the time you don't

[muted crescent]

Should Bis Zwei use both?

I mean I have both to give to her from Nagato

[native knoll]

Does damage auxs and oath make that much of a difference? I thought most of her damage came from here barrage

[viscid swift]

barrages also scale off of a stat, usually fire power for BBs and also have to go through a hit rate check right

So yes the extra stats from the auxes do matter

[native knoll]

Gotcha

[viscid swift]

Besides, most of the damage from a BB comes from their main guns

[native knoll]

This was specifically z52 btw

[viscid swift]

well I'm also running a Goldburn on her and have offensive DD tech maxed out including reload

and she's also just living longer thanks in part to eldridge

[native knoll]

I should put my goldburn back on her. I swapped it recently

[viscid swift]

I would

[native knoll]

I vaguely remember hearing the diff between the gold and blue gun depends on the reload stat. Do you know what those numbers are?

If that's even a thing at least

[native knoll]

Is rld the most important stat for them? Like would pushing for that 291 mark bring more damage over like firepower?

[viscid swift]

Not necessarily

These are just the break points for the two guns on which is better

[native knoll]

You mind sharing your z52 and traf?

[sweet delta]

what's that robot

[paper ore]

sales boosta bot from love ru event

evasion and hit stat

[native knoll]

You all think we will get goldburn added to the limited core data shop anytime soon?

[forest palm]

nope, it's a collab item, so chances are pretty nonexistent

[fickle parcel]

Are we not getting a 3rd Gridman collab?

[viscid swift]

I mean never say never but I find that highly unlikely

[native knoll]

The second one was a suprise if I remember correctly

[fickle parcel]

I may be thinking about the second one. For some reason I have a false memory of a Gridman 3rd collab teaser of just the title and background.

[forest palm]

even still you'd only get one unless they change things

[fickle parcel]

Double Goldburn legacy.

[ripe pumice]

So when is the new update for the PR8 series?

[forest palm]

this Thursday

[eager mulch]

[glossy granite]

How am i supposed to catch up to PR8 if i am still at PR5 lol

[viscid swift]

more time and patience

[glossy granite]

Might aswell be PR10 by then or PR11 before that happens

[viscid swift]

probably shouldn't have done PR5 though

[glossy granite]

Its just plymouth really, im still farming her prints im like 375+ so far

[forest palm]

I feel like within 2 years or less you can catch up

[white agate]

just get the ship you need, you don't need a full pr, you just need the right ships

[glossy granite]

But still

[viscid swift]

are you done PR6 and 7 or

[glossy granite]

Havent touched the ships so besides some prints and gear nope

[viscid swift]

and you started how long ago?

[glossy granite]

started what?

[viscid swift]

the game

[glossy granite]

I started in 2020 but did fuck all until Dec 2024 so you could prob say i started during Fritz event, and i found out you could queue research projects at March/April

[zenith heron]

I know this is just pure speculation, but if Golden Leeuw ends up being better than Napoli, should PR7's Mandatory choice should be Nakhimov only then?

[viscid swift]

you're about on track then, here's a rough and pretty generous timeline of how you catchup then

from the time PR8 drops to PR9 you'll have 6 months each to finish PR7 and 8 and once PR9 drops you'll again have 6 months each to finish 9 and 6 before PR10 drops

and finishing up older seasons with coining in the meantime

[viscid swift]

I mean Nahkimov was the priority anyway

[white agate]

sellpoint of pr7 are la-9 and nakimov, i did not touch napoli too niche and can use other options anyway

[dire kestrel]

Should I use my Specialized Cores on the UR Bulin?

[viscid swift]

yes, but only buy them when you need them

[dire kestrel]

Ok thanks

[sinful escarp]

you can honestly jsut drop what your current pr series and just go straight to pr8 and just come back later on

[worldly pewter]

i finished pr5 mid pr7 while taking a very long break in the autumn started with pr4 in february 2024 and still not done with cat

the only way to catchup with pr6 is with cubes

[viscid swift]

it depends on your timeline

but play your cards right and it shouldn't be that long

[sinful escarp]

it took me 4 years to catch up with the previous PR seasons. so yeah it takes time

i didnt play it right and just did what i wanted

[sweet delta]

It took me nearly 6 years to catch up on all seasons

[forest palm]

ya'll have catch up, and coining nowadays

[viscid swift]

and research queue

I'm old enough to remember a time when we didn't even have that

[forest palm]

and research that actually gives good prints

gotta love when a UL was practically worthless

[zenith heron]

man, and here I am still stuck with one more copy of BP for Quad UR CL Gun, before resuming PR7

should 2 copies of Ply Gun should be doable?

[viscid swift]

you only need one really

[sweet delta]

Just gear lab it when it can be

[viscid swift]

anymore is getting into pretty extreme min maxing territory

[worldly pewter]

imagine running a budget yat sen

[forest palm]

gotta feeling the Quad 152 is gonna want Nep Gun when it hits GL

[sweet delta]

I think you misspelled "" as "budget"

[zenith heron]

I'll take note from that one next time...

I am stuck on 49/50 prints after all for 5 months for another Ply Gun

[desert tapir]

I took a bit of a.... break... from the game. If I start today is it still possible to complete the current meta girl?

[viscid swift]

yeah, only got her MLB a few days ago

[sullen dew]

what would be the best main gun for admiral zenker if she's in a mob fleet

[warped tartan]

Who's next to develop in PR1 after SL?

Good to develop

[viscid swift]

457 as per usual

[soft raft]

Roon for the iron blood tech points
Ibuki becomes bootleg Unzen once you get her unique aug
Izumo isnt half bad for a PR/SR BB with her unique aug

but realistically it'd be Roon so you can unlock FdG and start on her

[dreamy blade]

Roon if you don't have the kms tech for fdg

[sullen dew]

which one is that again

[dreamy blade]

UR twin gun

[warped tartan]

Alright, thanks everyone!

[soft raft]

The UR BB Gun from PR2

[sullen dew]

oh. I would've expected the proto 406mm

[viscid swift]

Why

[eager mulch]

which ones the proto 406mm

[sweet delta]

/wiki 406mm

[sullen dew]

the site that tierlists the ships usually has it at the top for mob fleet BBs' main gun
ex. the listing for marco polo

[viscid swift]

oh boy

[sweet delta]

Cheeky

[soft raft]

That's not how the tierlist site works

[stark quiver]

Ectl was not gods plan

[viscid swift]

first off, higher does not mean better in ECTL, in means better in general which means least worse in all possible content

[dark hazel]

that tierlist is dated and top /=/ best for gear in that list anyways

[soft raft]

dunno about dated but yes the latter is true

[sullen dew]

I see. time to rework the fleet then

[viscid swift]

specifically they've weighted it towards earlier campaign chapters with a lot of light armor enemies

[sweet delta]

It says "Best HE gun for ships with skills that proc on firing" though, does that mean twin 406 skc is the best HE gun for Lion?

[viscid swift]

however, for later campaign stages, OpSi, etc
when a lot more medium and heavy armor enemies show up, the 457 reigns supreme

[sharp socket]

if lion didnt have 3x170% main gun efficiency maybe

[wary skiff]

should i be putting the cats in specifc slots? idk diff bn command cat and staff cat

[wind oxide]

The cats do have slot wise activation skills so read them

[forest palm]

we have no clue

[hot tiger]

Any way to get akagi and kaga without months of grinding

[forest palm]

nope

3-4 grind is the only way

[hot tiger]

Who tf made their drop rates so low???

[forest palm]

almost like it's a gacha or something

[viscid swift]

If it actually took you months you'd have to be doing something like one run a day which is really stupid

Get a low cost fleet together and just spam 3-4 for a few days if you really want them

[soft raft]

Hopefully you werent one of those people who read a outdated guide that said to go farm 3-4

[hollow gust]

Tell that to my 300+ runs of w15

[viscid swift]

Massive skill issue or bad accounting

[fair lance]

in the ehp chart for otto, the 150cl gun is it shimanto's gun?

[hollow gust]

Sounds about right

[worthy prairie]

what gears should i prioritize crafting in the gear lab?

[forest palm]

/gearlab

[odd root]

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

[forest palm]

next ship for PR8 is a DD hopefully it's not as disappointing as Halford

[fast steppe]

good enough timings?

[forest palm]

you want August to launch second

[viscid swift]

Too slopy for my taste

[stark quiver]

3-4 days is too long

[forest palm]

literally just huck HELP at it you'll probably have them in a day if you're dedicated

[fast steppe]

better?

[stark quiver]

yea its good
skyraider scales better in enty if she hits owarida

[hollow gust]

Eh? That's a 4x140 slot

[forest palm]

banking on Lucky E procs

[fast steppe]

[hollow gust]

That just sucks

[sweet delta]

Is it for light and you only have one hvar?

[fast steppe]

yea

[stark quiver]

id use bbs

[sweet delta]

This one

[fast steppe]

it's for harbiter

aight

[sweet delta]

You can manual hold the first strike so it doesn't go into the 20% barrier

[forest palm]

[fast steppe]

does using data loggers count as "performing reconnaissance" for the area missions

since you can't request recon if you have the hidden/regular data loggers

like the option just becomes grayed out

[vale spindle]

this is what that means

[fast steppe]

wtf

aight thanks

[worldly lion]

Mog or Shim worth the bulins? Or should I wait for the next UR rerun? Thanks

[wind hazel]

Mog, next UR is like 2 months away, plenty of time

[vale spindle]

can invest in mog yes
just pray that EN anniversary event isn't a UR event

[oak sluice]

Did en anniversary get a ur event since ever

[stark quiver]

that would be funny

[wind hazel]

no, but they might throw a curveball, who knows

[vale spindle]

no but we went from rerun event -> sp event -> major event -> major event over the past 4 years

[stark quiver]

if theyre desperate for money ye

[worldly lion]

Mog it is. Thanks

[nocturne horizon]

Is the prototype Tenrai better than the Sb2C helldiver in opsi?

[wind hazel]

it's better everywhere

[nocturne horizon]

Ok thanks

[golden moth]

I hope the EN.anniv will throw its first UR event ohoho

[eager mulch]

what

[wind hazel]

en anni amag-chan UR

[hoary relic]

is traf good for bossing?

[cobalt rapids]

shes great for bossing

[hoary relic]

mhm alr ima mlb and get her to lv 125 then

[eternal basalt]

No for EN, they got the JP with Sakura getting their UR one month later, best we can have is an UR retro

[sweet delta]

amazing

[warped acorn]

is there a list of what ur equipment for every pr

[craggy sorrel]

this is good or no?

[cobalt rapids]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/equips?rarity=6&obtainType=research sort by UR and research

[warped acorn]

thanks

[cobalt rapids]

its a niche gun, only used if u know exactly what ure doing with it

[hoary relic]

use mk6 (purp one) if u dont have mk7 or mkII is used for someone else, that gun is niche due to high reload time

even tho it has high dmg

what gun should i use for traf? single 138.6mm or twin 114mm?

[worthy sage]

Hello, I'm new to this game. Wanna ask for some advice, should I keep progressing in my main campaign until I get stuck? I'm at W3 currently

[hoary relic]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/ here is the tip, u should rush to w9 cuz u get clearing rewards from w9 and fuel cap to help u save oil

[cobalt gate]

Ugh 25 bp for la9.research update in 2 days right?

[worthy sage]

Also, I've spent a day or two reading up on guides, I think I've finally understood some of the game mechanics, but it's still overwhelming. I have so many questions idk who or how to ask haha

But mostly just wanna ask if my current fleet comp is fine for early game at least, is there a better way to organize my Clearing and bossing fleet

[wispy cosmos]

blue singles or gold single 113

[worthy sage]

These are my current ships and fleet

[worthy sage]

Will read it, thx!

[stark quiver]

single 76

[hoary relic]

u can use a random bullsht fleet for campaign until w12 and event stages, except SP and EX.

u can use that fleet for OpSI also, it may take u few turns for Abyssal, Stronghold's bosses and normal arbiter

[wind hazel]

stop giving bad advice

[wind hazel]

use 1 fleet, nelson lexington portland laffey, go buy Unicorn and Helena from guild shop, put them in

[tame jungle]

if you could bullshit your way through w12 this channel would see a lot less chatting

[stark quiver]

there is indeed a lot less chatting

[hoary relic]

never said that

[tame jungle]

11-3 also

[wind hazel]

the legendary 11-3

[tame jungle]

(those who know)

[wind hazel]

( i don't know, i was sleeping)

[stark quiver]

missed out on peak

[hoary relic]

what does that mean? have i missed anything?

[tame jungle]

he doesn't know

[hoary relic]

im cluecless abt what r u guys talking, what is the leg 11-3

[wind hazel]

stay clueless

and stop giving bad advice, for real

[warped acorn]

where do ppl use this and washington naval treaty

[tame jungle]

pvp

[stark quiver]

i use this on eagle union boats

[warped acorn]

and pearl tears too?

[stark quiver]

i use pearls tears on sirius when i make her tank strength

[tame jungle]

you don't want ships sinking in almost all pve content so pearl tears is pretty useless

[warped acorn]

oh guess ima ignore those equipment for now

[stark quiver]

my wnt is +13 for pvp, do not be like me

tbf manjuu is a good 500 hp aux alongside tk

[atomic abyss]

Damage control is pretty useful for bossing too

[stark quiver]

lowkey if you dont use it,
id keep it at +0 for the while being you may need it for ex one day

[fickle parcel]

Did I miss something or is there only 4 ships for PR8?

[tame jungle]

as you might've noticed, PR8 is not out yet

oh and EN is also missing an announcement for PR DD vittorio cuniberti

[stark quiver]

vacant slot never being filled

[fickle parcel]

That makes sense. I assumed the 4 being shown is what we're getting, since patch is in a few days and normally what is teased is what we get.

tyty for the missing 5th.

[rapid summit]

What’s a secret ticket

[cobalt rapids]

ingame asmr

[rapid summit]

Ok…

[cobalt robin]

It's peak

[exotic wren]

Should I Mlb Trafalgar or just hold it for the next UR?

[jagged marlin]

Hello! Looking for fleet advice QEM. I would like to try to get her in 1 run.

[cobalt rapids]

u can mlb traf and should get enough bulins by jp anni

[cyan bloom]

What's the minimum level for ships to survive 12-4 grind without the help of healers?

[cobalt rapids]

alot of fleets work for QEM
here is an old fleet example but u can replace them with new powercreep
and michita can be replace by other meta vanguards as long as they kill knights in time so they need helmet dps +

[cobalt rapids]

depends on ur gear and tech and ofc the ships themselves
usually its around 70-100 range

[jagged marlin]

Killing Knights is main issue ;D

[cyan bloom]

Alright, ty

[cobalt rapids]

well michita is the premier option since the fight rly favors her mechanics
but alot of stuff work
if ure rly low on tech/gear and options that u cannot kill the knights with something like helmet then u need to fall back to something like souryuu meta but that rly hurts ur dmg output

[rapid summit]

I’ll test when I can

[clear harbor]

Do larger escort fleets (more triangles) give better rewards?

[tender girder]

Hm i got 3 special skills but but they are all cl ca related. The cat good?

[cobalt rapids]

no but u can save it as trophy

[fickle parcel]

Does PR7 not have protection? Naki keeps showing up even though I have enough to max her fate Sim. I'm not sure if I remember them adding protection to most recently released PRs or not.

[cobalt rapids]

and ur other ships are not maxed?

from pr7 i mean

[fickle parcel]

Yar.

[robust nymph]

is z23 worth retrofitting?

[cobalt rapids]

well then what protection
when all ships are maxed all faces come back

[fickle parcel]

Yes they are not maxed.

[cobalt rapids]

depends on ur dock

[cobalt rapids]

and you are focusing season 7 ?

can u post a pic of ur shipyard screen

[fickle parcel]

Yea. Although I don't think focus should change protection?

@cobalt rapids

[cobalt rapids]

all ur ships are maxed...

[molten zinc]

[fickle parcel]

I thought 'maxed' including fate Sim too.

[cobalt rapids]

if the fate sim doesnt exist then d30 is the maxed status

[fickle parcel]

Ooooh, tyty.

[south sequoia]

I dont know if its emu bugging I can't tell what the additional effect is, what is it?

when I press the button on the bottom of the effect it still shows armament analysis

[cobalt rapids]

yea the UI is kinda bugged

[south sequoia]

ah fuck

ah wait nvm its bullet

surprisingly I have an easier time with hard mode compared to easy mode
though its probably because I threw my bb fleet at it

[cobalt rapids]

then probably because of the shelling shield yes

[white agate]

wait , so only 2 pr 8 ships?

[molten zinc]

[split gazelle]

where did you get that number from

[south sequoia]

Theres been 3

EN just hasn't posted the sardegna DD yet

Dmitri, kansas and vittorio cuniberti

[white agate]

nothing yet on the ur equip?

[slow fox]

URudder 🙏

[south sequoia]

stay tuned for the patch notes

we should be getting them soon, maybe tomorrow or later
it's a tuesday

[rancid raft]

When will Kearsarge perform better with 2 BB (New Jersey and Frederich Der Große) or with BB and CV (New Jersey and Implacable) ?

[south sequoia]

2 cvs, though there is cases like lion yorktown II

[polar lion]

Do we still get xp for grills in dorm but capped at say lvl105?

[south sequoia]

often times you're better off with running 2 cvs with kearsarge if the content requires a freeze/slow
i.e yorktown 2 implacable

[crimson glacier]

no

you need to uncap for dorm to work

[polar lion]

Aight

[south sequoia]

but if you don't need the utility, you are better off with someone like lion/enterprise/whoever has big dps as the third slot

[rancid raft]

Thanks

[normal cedar]

Should I shift from research focus 5 after 1 ply gun and ply dev 30/brest dev 25?

[wind oxide]

I'd get 3 plyguns first then shift

[normal cedar]

got it, thanks

[wind oxide]

No no it's just my opinion
Actually it depends on you and your needs

[normal cedar]

hmm, for reference, I've not done any other focus than 5, does 7 have better gold gear?

[wind oxide]

I mean if i was running a BB fleet for a random content i'd want atleast a plygun on all of them

[normal cedar]

if you run plygun as secondary on main fleet, then what do you use for vanguard tho?
cuz I thought plygun was for vanguard mainly?

[wind oxide]

Vanguard CL such as plymouth have higher priorities of the gun than the main fleet but it's not really a priority to get them as i said its just my opinion

[hollow gust]

Gtfo after you finish a gun and Plymouth

[hollow sail]

getting a surplus of plyguns is very much just a luxury, you're typically better off getting other more important gear

[hollow gust]

Especially with ships and equipment in pr7 always around

[molten zinc]

just saying, if you're at the point where you're grinding PR5 for an extra 20 FP for your BBs, then you wouldn't even be here asking for advice

just use any gold 45 FP CL gun or 35 FP DD gun if USS BB and call it a day

[normal cedar]

so shift to focus 7?

[hollow gust]

If you haven't finish 7 you shouldn't even be near pr5; now you have another season to look towards

[hollow sail]

you can even use mog gun for 55 FP if you're not using any vanguard that needs it

[normal cedar]

sure Ill switch to 7 for now, thanks ( i was told 5 over 7 before so I did 5... 💀 )

[atomic abyss]

Mate

Look at the date

Unless you're telling me you've made no progress in 3 months

[molten zinc]

oh damn SKC 305mm rainbow

[atomic abyss]

The reason I said that is because you were skipping over stuff like plymouth

To focus on Nakhi/Napoli

[hollow gust]

Another BB gun

[molten zinc]

https://www.bilibili.com/opus/1087179123152912400

[atomic abyss]

La-9 is definitely more important to have multiple copies of
