How would I figure out my gear syncing issues?

[wind hazel]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/
plug them in here, see if they are too close to one another

[sweet delta]

Make the main fleet have different reloads

[flint wyvern]

Okay

[undone tundra]

try give this to Friedrich if ur mob flag down

[hollow gust]

Eh

[undone tundra]

if vanguard down then gotta see finding good tanks to replace sandiego

[hollow gust]

Just move in the Plymouth from boss, drop in yuudachi

[undone tundra]

dun drop yuudachi unless you got better dd to replace

[flint wyvern]

Found my issue it’s the damn subs

The subs are smooth just going past my vanguard

[hollow gust]

Tanking with Sandy without support CV is the problem , dropping in plymmy is fine

[undone tundra]

Anti-Submarine is a big issue in chapter 14

[flint wyvern]

The subs are wrecking me😭

[undone tundra]

dd usually good in anti subs

[hollow gust]

Single target DDG for mobbing is the useless

[undone tundra]

did you bring this

[flint wyvern]

No😭

[undone tundra]

[wind hazel]

maybe start reading the link you were asked to read above

[flint wyvern]

Would chang or yuu be better to keep? I swapped in blucher for my tank for now

[undone tundra]

you can get one in moments page

[hollow gust]

Just use plynouth

[flint wyvern]

Oh okay

[undone tundra]

plynouth come to mob

[wind hazel]

plysouth

[undone tundra]

sandiego go boss team

[hollow gust]

Plymouth Sandy Yuudachi is basically perfect

[undone tundra]

not perfect but acceptable
better two dd

but idk what else dd he have

[hollow gust]

[sweet delta]

I don't think bulin is a good second DD

[flint wyvern]

Should I make a thread?

[hollow gust]

Why are you recc worse option

[wind oxide]

CN vs EN lol

[hollow gust]

Tf you mean CN vs EN, what's wrong with yuudachi??

[sweet delta]

Just follow the guide, it has fleet templates and lists of ships you can fill in with

[undone tundra]

laffey II, eldrige(UR) , z52 , trafalgar

[wind hazel]

cheeky and i already went through him. now it's your turn

[wind oxide]

you and him i mean not the ships

[rapid summit]

I just got my first pr ship and it says I can limit break them but how do I do that the option is not there?

[undone tundra]

but idk which he have

[viscid swift]

what's their gear like?

[eager mulch]

what’s going on gph I just got here

[viscid swift]

then freaking ask before making a recc then

[sweet delta]

Give or buy blueprints in the shipyard

[hollow gust]

Yuudachi has both durability and dps ? And laffey2/elridge is just worse dps. There is no need for more durability

[glossy granite]

What is the priority with PR7 prints?

[viscid swift]

Nahkimov

and Bayard I guess for PRs

[glossy granite]

I meant uhm

For PR yea

[undone tundra]

for anti subs

[sweet delta]

Wait a month until we see their fate sims

[flint wyvern]

Been running some opsi to get better gear lately so I’d say it’s pretty decent

[hollow gust]

Sandy and yuudachi is more then enough asw

[viscid swift]

my dude, all you need for W14 is the hedghog and an ASW plane on Unicorn

[glossy granite]

Wait if you need 523 for DRs how many do you need for PRs?

[wind hazel]

/devbp

[odd root]

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

[undone tundra]

but he did not bring that anti sub gear

[viscid swift]

you don't need to run DDs just for ASW, if they're not good I'd rather a good CL or instead

[rain vine]

light cruiser can run a hedgehog perfectly fine

[hollow gust]

So just bring it, why recc new worse ships?

See what he needs before recommending worse options

Elridge Traffy and Laffey2 is used for utility, w14 doesn't need the utility

[glossy granite]

Theres no way its 343 for PRs

[viscid swift]

it is

[cobalt robin]

Sadly

[eager mulch]

343 ain’t even that much

[glossy granite]

It isnt

[undone tundra]

they are simply too strong for main chapters

[wind oxide]

Ohh he's hk server not CN

[viscid swift]

what

[wind hazel]

💀 this guy

[cobalt robin]

It feels like a lot for your first pr

[wind oxide]

HK vs EN

[hollow gust]

wtf are you talking about. They provide utility he doesn't need, not that they are too strong

[viscid swift]

those are clearly Japanese characters

[rapid summit]

Dev 30 is max yeah?

[rain vine]

fate sim 5 if the ship has it

[cobalt robin]

Unless they have fate sim

[sweet delta]

His hedgehog screenshot sir, not discord profile

[rapid summit]

I don’t know what Roon has

[eager mulch]

fate sim 5 is max for roon

[hollow gust]

Understand why each ship is strong , not just randomly slot in op ships

[cobalt rapids]

does slotting in op ships like laffi not work in w14 ?

[eager mulch]

it works

[rapid summit]

That doesn’t sound like much at all

[undone tundra]

ultimate target is clearing the shit out right
slotting op ships simply works

[eager mulch]

it isn’t

[viscid swift]

if you want to just clear mob waves, there's certainly better vanguard comps than those 3 whose damage is quite frankly middling

[hollow gust]

Sure use your elridge when you lack clear

[viscid swift]

have you even used half the ships you're talking about

because from the looks of it all you seem to know how to do is look at CN charts and tier lists and then interpret them in your own(wrong) way

[eager mulch]

no way

[sweet delta]

Oh there is history

[rapid summit]

How much bp do I need before I should start using coins for fdg dev 30?

[cobalt rapids]

0

[sweet delta]

The performance in the thread was not very impressive

[cobalt rapids]

you should start coining right away when u build her

[sweet delta]

You can take the 150 catch-up for fdg at the same time, but always buy like 10 fdg bps per day if you have coins

[cobalt rapids]

assuming ure in oilcap and u somehow didnt built her before reaching that

[rapid summit]

Where can you buy that?

[cobalt robin]

He meant coin her 10 times

Which is basically buying 10 prints

[rapid summit]

Ohhh aight

Also is the reason this isn’t adding because I didn’t start using research focus for her until later?

[cobalt robin]

Huh wdym

[cobalt rapids]

what is ur season focus ? i hope ure not focusing season 2

[rapid summit]

I have 160 blue prints for her but in research it says 111

[cobalt robin]

💀💀

[soft raft]

what
Catchup works regardless of the season you're researching

[soft raft]

get off of PR2 focus asap

[cobalt robin]

I think he's on 2

[rapid summit]

Uhhhh is that bad?

[cobalt robin]

Yes

[cobalt rapids]

yes thats catchup and it doesnt have to do with how may bps u have only how many blueprints you got from the catchup

[soft raft]

more like there's no point doing so when all of PR2 is coinable

[undone tundra]

the catchup is independent counting
the blueprint you have included those you get from catchup

[undone tundra]

not worth to do anymore in most case

[rapid summit]

So should I do Roon focus then?

[undone tundra]

not recommanded to focus season 3 or below

[ivory pawn]

Catchup on FdG is fine, Focus should be on, idk, 5, 7, or 8.

[cobalt rapids]

what is roon focus
catchup and season focus are different
season focus should be set to season 5/7/8
catchup can stay on fdg or anchorage but go read the protocore minmaxing guide and turn ur pr1-3 catchups to protocore

[undone tundra]

4 maybe arguable

[cobalt robin]

Don't you need dev30 before you can turn those into protocore?

[cobalt rapids]

yea thats why i advised to read the guide

[rapid summit]

Where is the protocore minmaximg guide?

[cobalt rapids]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/research/#catch-up_min_max here and ignore the disclaimer

[wind oxide]

Sir how do you calculate a DOT damage from a ship's skill?

[cobalt rapids]

take her stats and apply the formula which u can either find on wiki for generic ones or on larsdb for special ones like lion

[wind oxide]

can you drop a glimpse or a example?

[cobalt rapids]

this is lion

these are generics https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Damage_Calculations#Damage_Over_Time_(DOT)

[crimson glacier]

lion has infinite duration dot?

[wind oxide]

Bro what?

[cobalt rapids]

yes her special burn is infinite

[wind oxide]

The 3s goes on till end of fight lol

[boreal wagon]

its a damage tick every 3s

[hollow gust]

It's 20-30k in a full meta battle fight , not bad at all for a supplement burn

[cobalt robin]

I'm confused abt bearcat float, says it can intercept but I'm assuming that's only when a dd has it equipped for the skill right?

[undone tundra]

sure there's better vanguard comps to clear mob waves only, but in his case he has enough damage to do so
his issue is simply the subs, those dds i mention are very good dds in terms of tanking , handling subs with more than enough dps in chapter 14, whats wrong with this recc?
i cleared chapter 14 before bismark zwei landed, so i know the era of the old days
CL's anti subs can be enough to handle, but when you hv better option
why not using them (unless he doesnt hv
maybe laffey II not the best dps dds but not far from yuudachi
not to mention eldridge's barrage perform very well when multiple enemies there

[cobalt robin]

I can't seem to make it intercept otherwise

[viscid swift]

for one, you don't need 3 DDs to to take of ASW in W14

and I also cleared W14 well before Bismarck Zwei landed

[elfin hollow]

Who's the 3 best in slot for chapter 15 support cv

[undone tundra]

my original recc is just 2 dds

[viscid swift]

I'm not talking about your original recc

[undone tundra]

i just mention some picks of the 2 dds slot

[viscid swift]

and I'm not saying even need any DDs to get a good comp that's capable of handling ASW

[undone tundra]

of course there are more picks that are ok
even 2 CL is actually ok , if it works, then go for it

[viscid swift]

and if they don't have any other good DDs, why should they use another bad DD over another good cruiser

and again, you didn't even see what they had to work with first

you just blindly reccomended a comp without adding the proper qualifiers

[hollow gust]

1. look at Sandy asw, in what way is it inferior to most DD?
2. You mention Eldridge barrage , guess who has one of the best outputs Sandy. Especially post augment her AOE dps is top tier. You recc one of the best ships for mobbing to go to boss , where her asw doesn't even matter
3. In what way would laffey2 and Elridge output be superior to yuudachi?
4. You talk about the old days , but somehow dissuade against yuudachi who was basically the top options for w14 mobbing
5. You recc niche meta instead of already good options.
6. Your best recc is Z52, and you don't even know if they have them
7. You freeload off newer and better ships with a flaw understanding of how w14 actually works

[boreal wagon]

it can always intercept and the skill doesnt apply to intercepts so it will always launch a single plane

[turbid marsh]

oh yikes....

[stark quiver]

whats cooking guys

[wind oxide]

HK vs EN

Battle of the never yielding

[undone tundra]

1. sandy did hv a high asw, but laffey has higher not to mention z52, and eldridge got a magic anti-sub stuff (of course i know using 1dd with sandy can be enough to handle w14

2. i wont deny sandy has better output than eldridge, but just tanking ability not that great, seeing he has single heal, i worry the durability so recc eldridge, while having some AOE ability to replace part of output of sandy

3. not superior, but not big different , especially laffeyII with 2 UR torpedo gear (idk the exact name of it

4.i did used yuudachi to clear w14, and i knew she is quite top in mobbing w14, but z52 and trafalgar better than her in this field while laffeyII and eldridge are not that worse than her

5. i just provide an option using different ships, is this sth really bad? im not saying the original comp doesnt work

6. idk if they have them does not change the fact that z52 is a good option, if they dont have then find replacement , thats simple

7. w14 is not a difficult map , many comps can get through it , if the comps work, then use it, just depends on which ships you like to use (as if the gears dont have any problem

[hollow gust]

1. z52 where?

[undone tundra]

all in all i just want to help the guy to win the fight
but not here to battle with bros

[stark quiver]

[hollow gust]

how you helping the guy when you are randomly recc UR shipw?

[undone tundra]

ask the dude dun ask me man

[hollow gust]

so why recc ships you dont know he has?

[viscid swift]

what, you are the one making the reccomendations

[undone tundra]

if he dun hv he will tell and we will help him figure out what comp he can bring

[viscid swift]

or maybe just ask him what he has first????
instead of confusing him by reccomending something he may not even be able to pull off

[hollow gust]

if you know stuff like yuudachi survives when are you concern about survivability enough to bring elridge, whos only purpose for his fleet is increasing survivability

[viscid swift]

and again, you didn't even see what gear they were running because that fleet while not brilliant if it was properly geared should have cleared W14 just fine

[undone tundra]

im sorry not to ask what he has before throwing out reccs

[hollow gust]

so whats wrong with
Plymouth Sandy Yuudachi
that you want to bring Z52 and Elridge in?

[undone tundra]

no wrongs but they simply could be an option

[undone tundra]

whichever comp he chose, if he cleared w14 its fine

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1193929165158748190/1385146895055454230/693ACE318F02BBACFF18C794550FA134.gif

[turbid marsh]

i think we can get over with it, always ask to post dock before helping. done. for recc z52 and eld, probably just get ready for w15 and future meta, wouldn't hurt to level them up or use em.

[sweet delta]

A quick search should reveal that he does, in fact, not have any of the top DDs. So just recommending more DDs by hull type or specific DDs he doesn't have is not good

[viscid swift]

the issue is among other factors is his belief that DDs for whatever reason have an inherent advantage in W14

they do not

[undone tundra]

im not good at english, if my words and tone hurts you i would apologize immediately as you point out.
im just curious about the en community and join this server
sorry for taking up the time

[hollow gust]

its not about words or tone when you want to keep insisting on recommending certain ships when they are either not needed or not available

[viscid swift]

yeah pro tip, when you come into a new community, one very good way to give everyone a bad impression of yourself is to start spewing hot takes

[undone tundra]

cause dds has higher capacity of this gauge

[viscid swift]

rather irrelevant if the ships aren't that tanky or do less damage to begin with

[hollow gust]

and unless they are the top ship they sacrafice for it?

[sweet delta]

Only needs one DD, not two, to hit the cap on concealment

[undone tundra]

isnt the cap depend on this (what does it call in english ?

[flint wyvern]

😭dang I got some new urs since then

[wind oxide]

Evasion

[undone tundra]

generally the more dd the higher the concealment isnt it?

[undone tundra]

thk bro

[sweet delta]

Well two DDs, but yuudachi ply sandy is pretty darn close at 92% of the max

No because there's a cap on the concealment

[undone tundra]

oh ok my fault

[flint wyvern]

Would it be worth using zwei bis on any of those fleets for 14?

[wind oxide]

Higher yes but he said one DD in a fleet is enough to reach the requirement cap that's what he said
Also wrap this up guys

[viscid swift]

just start a thread and post your dock will you
I'll sort this out from scratch

[flint wyvern]

Okay thank you😭

[undone tundra]

would be better than fdg, but more or less the same level with musashi

[wind oxide]

[hollow gust]

zwei isnt really better then fdg for w14 though

[wind oxide]

How is zwei the same level as Musashi when Musashi is literally the best Mob fleet ship?

[full plank]

my main fleet is portland(retrofit) javelin(retrofit) helena(no retro yet) lion taihou unicorn(retrofit)

i can exchange for UR rn

this is my first one,question

new jersey or shinano

[viscid swift]

Shinano

[full plank]

i wanna exchange and swap someone on my team with either so who do i exchange for

[full plank]

and then swap taihou with her?

[viscid swift]

take away Aquila and Musashi's ability to tank damage for the main fleet suddenly becomes something of a liability

[flint wyvern]

Team for W14 and Beyond!!

[viscid swift]

can you max limit break her?

[rain vine]

is the taihou max limit broken, and do you have 4 UR bulins?

[full plank]

i can get the bulins no issue

[full plank]

taihou is mlb but i can get rainbow bulins no issue

[undone tundra]

in his case not enough healing for musashi, her ability of tanking damage for the main fleet will harm herself

[viscid swift]

how many Bullins can you get and do you have any other URs you can max limit break?

[full plank]

i got lion she got 1 lb im about to get another rainbow bulin

im world 10 rn btw

[viscid swift]

max limit break Lion first and foremost then

[full plank]

so uh shinano or new jersey
who do i exchange

[undone tundra]

i think you can max limit break lion first

[hollow gust]

shinano

[viscid swift]

still Shinano, max limit break Lion first

[full plank]

ok
say less

[viscid swift]

no

[full plank]

NAVAL F.L.E.X? 😭

nah i got the flex medal 😭

[stark quiver]

same

[wind oxide]

Also we getting guam on December or next year?

[viscid swift]

probably next year

[elfin hollow]

Yo, starting azur lane in 2025 is good idea?

[full plank]

never too late,game is peak you will love it

[hollow gust]

faster you start, longer time to get currency

[verbal plinth]

Faster you start more cubes you will have

[viscid swift]

probably not the best place to ask but I wouldn't say there's any particular reason not to

[undone tundra]

whenever you start is ok

[elfin hollow]

Ty

Idk about this game and one other haha that's why i want to start a game with active community

[undone tundra]

[undone tundra]

sorry

[sweet delta]

Almost got a seizure fr

[wind oxide]

Weak

[full plank]

skill maxout priority for shinano?

[undone tundra]

lion first, but shinano worth it also

[full plank]

lion skills maxed but for shinano what skills to max in priority

[sweet delta]

All of them

[undone tundra]

at the end all no matter which first

[sweet delta]

Or none of them if your Shinano isn't even mlb

[full plank]

oh
my god
yeah no wonder people said shinano makes everything braindead. i saw a screen wipe

[full plank]

i mean i can max out her skills in advance

[rapid summit]

Is there a way to see all of a ship voicelines or do i just keep clicking on them?

[undone tundra]

see their in game profile

[proper cypress]

as a new player, outside of unicorn, portland, starter, helena what other ships, should be a priority to work on retroing? im trying to note for myself to help keep focus on what should work on.

[viscid swift]

depends on your roster but some potential options are Saratoga, Nelson, and Ark Royal

[proper cypress]

ok i have those 3

[daring flower]

hihii :3 is kronshtadt worth mlbing?

[cobalt robin]

not with bullins

[proper cypress]

what about retro independence?

[cobalt robin]

I mean if you have no other cv

But you could easily get enty

[proper cypress]

i have enty but no way currently to mlb her.

[ivory pawn]

Tap the head to get rub voiceline (and animation if applicable), tap the boobs to get special touch voiceline (and animation if applicable), or tap anywhere else to generate a random line (and animation if applicable).

[fallen jay]

Thank you so much! Nowhere I checked was saying where to click for interactions. Just tap screen in general. Also aside from oaths are there other ways of unlocking more interactions with them?

[ivory pawn]

Not to my knowledge.

[fallen jay]

Next Question do I have to beat each level in war archive to get all the story or do I just go straight to hardmode and beat D3 or D4 as soon as possible to unlock it all?

I’d like to save the tickets for actually important stuff when I do this. Currently I’m just using them to get items from Chessboard for Iron Blood.

[dreamy blade]

There isn't much "actually important stuff" so don't feel the need to save tickets

But the point of rushing to d3 is to unlock clearing mode which is oil capped

[stark quiver]

[raw sorrel]

hello people sorry for this dumb question but I'v been playing for a pretty long time now and at the begginning I thought that theses cahracters were unlockable only via these print like many others Gacha (didn't read the tutorial as I should). But know that I really want to play the game so lv up character weapons ect... I don't actually know how to get "Tech Points" and I also don't know the utility of all the prints I have. Sorry again for taking your time

[stark quiver]

alright so
tech points, you can obtain them by simply obtaining , max limit breaking, and getting lvl 120 for ships in the specific faction

[viscid swift]

/fleettech

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: How do I get more fleet technology points?
You get fleet tech points by:
Collecting the ship (~20%)
Max Limit Breaking it (~45%)
Achieving level 120 (~35%)

-Higher rarity ships gives more fleet tech pts .
-Heavier ship hulls also gives more fleet tech pts: CV=BB>CA>CL>DD

Side notes:
-PR ships give more fleet tech pts than normal but follow the above formula with development 30 replacing MLB.
-META ships are considered a separate META faction. They give same bonuses as their non-META versions.
-Collab ships, Muse and little versions of ships e.g. Li'l Sandy, Clevelad and Lena etc do not give any fleet tech pts.
-Iron Blood faction ships receive double the normal tech points compared to other nations.

For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki
You can also use this Fleet Tech Tracker by mrlar

[stark quiver]

yea that also works, shouldve done that

Can you show the ships you are using

[ivory pawn]

Might be able to get you a quick fleet upgrade. I assume you haven't seen the newbie tips yet.

Yep, haven't seen https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/dayonetips/guildshop yet.

[soft raft]

Not the SR Bullin 💀

[fallen jay]

Hey guys which ship should I get first from PR4? I got the pack to unlock one unfortunately Agir isn’t an option

[dreamy blade]

Anchorage or AVP

[soft raft]

^

[fallen jay]

Which one would be better to help me unlock Agir sooner in the long run? I assume AVP since she’s Iron blood

[soft raft]

AvP would be better in terms of grinding Agir since tech points and CDC1 XP

but Anchroage is more useful overall

AvP mainly only sees use in Operation Siren and depending on if you have Implacable and/or Nakhimov + Soyuz, is basically never used

[fallen jay]

Dang this is a hard choice then. I don’t have any of those units though so she’d see a lot of use from me in Siren Ops.

[soft raft]

Just go for Anchorage with that paid pack then grind AvP later

[fallen jay]

Alright. You haven’t steered me wrong before.

Should I also fully develop her right away? I’d assume so she can be more tacky and survive to hopefully be added to either mob or boss fleet for more use

[soft raft]

There's another version of that guide along with a bunch of other useful guides on this site
https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/

[jade sable]

Are meowficers unimportant? Should I be looking for specific things when choosing perks?

Also is unicorn strong enough as a healer to carry me through 13-15?

[soft raft]

at the very mininum get two SR Cats and get them to lvl 30 (doesnt matter what talents they have) for meowfficer nodes in Operation Siren

Unicorn is the best healer in the entire game after retrofit and is essentially a perament fixture in your mob fleets

^Safe to scrap @spring basin

[inland shoal]

They're okay, but nothing amazing, not rly worth investing gold bulins in

[flint fiber]

What about enterprise and formidable?

[stark quiver]

enterprise good
formi no

[loud scarab]

i can't connect on bluestacks is it my connection, the emulator or something else?

it has to be bluestacks cause i can login from my phone with the same connection (on wifi)

[strange path]

Are the two planes before wyvern gear lab only?

[viscid swift]

The Firebrand is in the core data shop

[strange path]

Thank god

[jade sable]

Ok ty

Are there any tankier vanguards? My dps seems fine but even with healers my first ship always gets beat up

[fallen jay]

Wait why does it matter getting the cats to 30? Do they do anything special then?

[stark quiver]

no

[inland shoal]

No it's just the max lvl

[stark quiver]

but what you want are two level 20 gold cats for opsi, so they get max rewards from cat nodes

[fallen jay]

They’re stuck at 19. Tried enhancing it takes so much exp to do that…is this another long term project?

[signal plover]

How much better is 12-1 than 11-1 for xp farm?

[stark quiver]

sure?

[stark quiver]

technically 11-1 has better xp/oil
But 12-1 can drop cogs sometimes, and give a good amount of coins

[fallen jay]

Also it’s better to focus on one or two ships leveling them up right? In thr mob fleet? Like one low level in main and one in vanguard? Or do I only do 1 low level in general to be carried? By lower I mean low at like upper 50s low 60s

By the way Urban what do I use Anchorage for?

Like who is she replacing in the fleet if I can get her max development?

[inland shoal]

Anchor is a tank

[fallen jay]

So far left of vanguard. She can replace little Agir then

[inland shoal]

And you want to use as many low level ships as you reasonably can, every max lvl ship in your farming fleet is a waste

[fallen jay]

Cause I can fully develop her once she’s 30

None of my ships are max level yet. Unicorn is the highest at 118

Oil constraints prevent me from farming long periods of time.

[signal plover]

Does 12 1 give much more exp tho?
I usually do 3 clears with booster per day for pr ships xp and I was wondering if 3 clears of 12-1 would just yield much better results

[fallen jay]

But I’m having fun so it’s alright

[stark quiver]

im not gonna lie with you, i cant read that, so good luck

[inland shoal]

Wdym once she's 30?

[fallen jay]

Level 30 I can give her a bunch of development in the system

Blueprints I mean

[inland shoal]

I see

/devbp

[inland shoal]

For full dev you need this many prints and also lvl 70

[fallen jay]

Yeah I have all of them just need to level her up.

[inland shoal]

[fallen jay]

I bought the development pack so I have all the blueprints and skipped the construction phase

[inland shoal]

She's quite a bit better than Lil Ägir

[fallen jay]

This is a great game so I don’t mind supporting it by buying stuff from the shop with real money

She’s level 19 right now what map would be best to level her up fast without her being knocked out rapidly?

[signal plover]

Thx
I'll do my best
opens Google lens

[inland shoal]

Tbh exp books

[fallen jay]

I have none.

[inland shoal]

You can try wedging her in, but lvl 19 at low dev lvl just isn't nice

[fallen jay]

I know. It really is bad. But I have to level her up somehow. I have her in the dorm and in the mob fleet so unicorn can help her out if she survives being one tapped

Should I just keep my normal mob fleet and try to use the lecture hall to get books to level her instead

[inland shoal]

If she can survive, use her, but I doubt it

[flint fiber]

How good is Ryuuhou?

[soft raft]

She certainly exists
At best probably a side grade to pre-retro Unicorn

[signal plover]

Damn
11-1 is Hella good

[flint fiber]

So can I still use her in current content or would I need something better

[soft raft]

Just use Unicorn
She becomes the best healer in the entire game after retro

[worldly pewter]

i think that she is very bad

good tech though

[signal plover]

Oh
Ok then
Back to 12 - 1 I guess

[worldly pewter]

if ur fleet can handle 12-4 do that instead

[signal plover]

@worldly pewter sorry for ping
May I ask you why it is bad?

[worldly pewter]

i personally value more

[signal plover]

Understandable
22 total oil/exp is pretty good tho
Thx for advice

[worldly pewter]

exp isn't that important in the end
i think we went into this debate once in the past and the person arguing still wasn't convinced

[white agate]

12-1 super confortable to do

only thing 12-4 has over it is choukai for medals maybe

[worldly pewter]

[white agate]

i overcap gold
unless you go for fleet power ranking or cattery sr pulls

[slate trout]

Hello everyone

im new here

i just downloaded AL to my phone but is my first time playing a game like this and im overwhelmed by the menus
Any guides step by step of what to do? Thank you

[viscid swift]

this might help
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[eager mulch]

[hardy creek]

Who should I develop first between FdG, Anchorage, August, Chkalov and Napoli?

[viscid swift]

FDG

[glossy granite]

When did FDG come out again

AI says 2019 but is it true

[stark quiver]

you can see when her wiki page was created, or look at past patch notes

[eager mulch]

PR8 = 2025
PR8 - 6 = PR2
PR2 = 2019

[glossy granite]

Ah

Welp by the time i reach to the point of start doing PR8, might aswell get married with 3 kids by then

[fervent parrot]

How to scrap cat box? I got tons of it and i cant seems to buy any more maybe full? Or theres daily limit?

[ivory pawn]

Daily limit of 15 per day.

I haven't heard of any limit to how many you can hold.

[glossy granite]

Yo when do they make certain PR series coinable? So far its up to 4 but ik that in the past for an example 4 wasnt coinable

[soft raft]

you scrap cats by feeding them into other cats

[fervent parrot]

Cannibalism i see

[pseudo hearth]

MLBd Traf a few days ago. Should I be saving my Specialized Cores for the next UR event now? If not, which of my ships should I be using my UR bulins on next?

[limpid arch]

I need some better gear what maps can I farm for some basic stuff for most ships?

[honest sequoia]

none
U get them from gearbox

[strange valve]

how far into the game are you at the moment? what's your highest map?

[viscid swift]

I would save for the JP anni

[honest sequoia]

When is that

[viscid swift]

Mid September

[limpid arch]

11-1

mostly cause im lazy to do more story

[strange valve]

most of the good gear comes from gear lab and opsi

[limpid arch]

How worth are the battlepass? Considering buying it

[rain vine]

if you like the skin, its okay
otherwise, not really

[limpid arch]

Ah I don't really play opsi

[strange valve]

pr research also lets you accumulate some good blueprints too; but it's a slow burn

[limpid arch]

Ah thanks like the skin but doesn't seem to give much rewards

[white musk]

Does certificate of sponsorship work on bis2? Does it make her a good mobber in comparison to other ships for late game (ch14-15) if so?

[strange valve]

yes it does - and yes you would use her in the mobbing fleet with it

[stark quiver]

Yes
Maybe ?

[white musk]

Ty

[strange valve]

iirc that's the strat I used to 3* 15-4 at lethal threat level

[pseudo hearth]

I already almost have enough for another Bulin, remind me how long it’ll take me to get 3 more?

[strange valve]

the event usually will give you at least one through points iirc

[soft raft]

*UR event/rerun only

[white musk]

We're gonna get another one next month for seasonal missions too

[dire kestrel]

In Passionate Polaris which levels are oil capped?

[rain vine]

just sp5

[dire kestrel]

Ok thanks

[bleak skiff]

What does the skin projection do for shipyard?

[ivory pawn]

Lets you display more of that ship in your Secretary list. Potentially with different skins if you have them.

[bleak skiff]

Oh okay so no stat bonuses sweet

[viscid swift]

Less than 2 months

[muted crescent]

any URs I should use these on rn?
I know there’s a UR rerun coming up, idk when

[sweet delta]

Never pull specifically for permanently available gacha URs

[muted crescent]

That much I know now (I missed Lion precisely cuz of that 😭)

[sweet delta]

So what are you asking

[sinful escarp]

the way is to pull during events and build up pity from the none ur events

[muted crescent]

so when’s the next one?
I know there’s a collab coming up, but idk if it’s worth missing a UR for it

[fallen jay]

What should be buying with the meta crystals?

[sinful escarp]

just do 1 daily light build per day and take all the cube comissions you can

[sweet delta]

Expected September new UR, then a rerun Unzen after that

[fallen jay]

I couldn’t find the command for it in bot spam

[sweet delta]

You can buy any of the ships, but don't use them as a new player. Get them to level 120 in mid-late game for the good tech

[fallen jay]

Like which ship should I be buying from the store using meta crystals

[muted crescent]

there’s nothing special in there, no? Just a bunch of ships and their LB material, and some META ship mats.

[fallen jay]

Alright. Cause I have over 209 saved up

[worldly pewter]

when u start the tech grind buy the rld and hit tech ships

[balmy skiff]

only light

[pseudo hearth]

cool, thanks

[runic cobalt]

When i reach 120 with a ship i will never use (only for the stat bonuses and fleet technology points), it's okay to retire right?

[stark quiver]

which ship

[runic cobalt]

Cleopatra for example

[stark quiver]

i mean, if youll NEVER use her, and dont mind not having her for like 2 years, then sure
id personally keep all the ships i have leveled
and you also lose fleet power

[runic cobalt]

Does having more fleet power increase fleet overall dmg tho or is it just for flex

[stark quiver]

flex

[runic cobalt]

I mostly ignore those things tbh so it's fine

[hollow gust]

There are so much non limited ships you can delete , why Cleo

[runic cobalt]

F2p, too little dock space

[stark quiver]

f2p or bad financial decisions

[hollow gust]

F2P can buy more then enough dock space if they spend smart

[viscid swift]

how much dock space are we talking

I don't usually reccomend retiring ships among other reasons because you're only really delaying the inevitable

there will be a certain point where run out of ships to retire frankly(i.e. ships you want to keep for one reason or another)

[steel jacinth]

what stage gives the most gray plates? i'm like >100 for practically all types because of researches

[soft raft]

bruh the fuck kind of researches have you been doing

[steel jacinth]

Q-100s

or whatever they are that take 20 gray plates every time

[viscid swift]

Farming 12-1 gives a lot, you can also buy some from the medal shop

[steel jacinth]

so farm 12-1 instead of 12-4? thank you

[viscid swift]

Low cost farming events so gives you a good amount

[undone tundra]

Bro may need to farm more on main stories

[wind hazel]

open techbox and scrap gear

[viscid swift]

Blue gear specifically

[undone tundra]

Blue gear for gray , purple for blue , gold for purple

[steel jacinth]

so open purple techboxes for scrap then?

[undone tundra]

But UR gear won't give you gold plates

[viscid swift]

Yeah

[eager mulch]

[steel jacinth]

ok, may need to free up depot space too since i only have 7 slots free..

[sweet delta]

You farm 12-4 and still ran out of plates?

[eager mulch]

does 12-4 drop gray plates?

[steel jacinth]

yep, i haven't upgraded gear in a while

[undone tundra]

Sure

[sweet delta]

I farmed 13+ for 3 years and still had 4000+ of each gray plate

[steel jacinth]

i'll get out of battle soon and take a pic of what i have currently

oh wait, the only ones i'm really low on are torpedo, aircraft, and general

[stark quiver]

[steel jacinth]

i guess that's because the researches i've been doing haven't taken main gun

but yea, definitely not a lot.

[eager mulch]

[viscid swift]

Have you been gear focusing for years or something?

[steel jacinth]

i haven't really upgraded gear in months

[wind hazel]

truly wonder how do people end up like this

[viscid swift]

So you haven't been farming all that much while simultaneously doing a lot of gear researches

And prioritizing the shortest ones

[stark quiver]

[steel jacinth]

i've farmed 12-4 to level up my ships for a bit, using the x2 item for every run i do
not every day of course, but when i do have time i try to do at least 15+ runs or so
and yes, i've been prioritizing the short 1h q ones

[viscid swift]

Well inconsistent play and heavy gear focus will do that

This is what I personally do for gear focus

Because you can't guarantee that you chain say 4 1 hour Qs

[steel jacinth]

yea, for doing research i've mainly been doing purple qs, blue 1h or 2h qs, 1h30m Gs, or 2h30m Gs

[stark quiver]

if 2.5g
id take 2.5D instead of there is the option to

[steel jacinth]

i rarely if ever do Hs, Es, or whatever the other one is

mainly because they cost cubes or gear*

[wind hazel]

E doesn't

[worldly pewter]

that person used what we call a tactical retreat

[viscid swift]

Purple E is actually good

[wind hazel]

E is free if you farm

[stark quiver]

2hE is good

[steel jacinth]

is it? i forget. is that the one with the scrap gear or the collection of gear?

[stark quiver]

the E show up right after i retire all

[wind hazel]

scrap gear yeah

[stark quiver]

🇪

[wind hazel]

open techbox time

[steel jacinth]

i know that Es don't appear in my researches as much as Hs do

[dreamy blade]

i have 2 champys, 1 lion gun, 1 nj gun, 1 izumo gun at +13, should i +13 raff gun or save plates for meck gun (or flandre gun?)

[steel jacinth]

because if there's no option other than to use cubes, then i go with E
since i farm 12-4 a lot to the point i have 475k coins and retire a lot of ships :/

[stark quiver]

do you need to +13 raf gun right now?

[dreamy blade]

well i dont need to +13 anything ever

[stark quiver]

do you need it right now

[wind hazel]

100 box results, it's... something i guess

[stark quiver]

what a waste of time 💀

[dreamy blade]

gray plates

[wind hazel]

morii

[stark quiver]

Poor guy got pinged for nothing

[viscid swift]

I don't get it myself tbh

[prisma torrent]

Is Roon good and should i build her

[dreamy blade]

thats less oxycolas than i'd expect

[prisma torrent]

For my 1st fleet

[wind hazel]

Roon is decent

[dreamy blade]

yes, but for if you should build her what part of story are you at?

[viscid swift]

She won't be usable for at least a month

[prisma torrent]

Why is that

[stark quiver]

that man has no curry

[prisma torrent]

6

[viscid swift]

Because you need to get Blueprints for her

[dreamy blade]

dont worry about research ships until youve at least reached ch12

[viscid swift]

Fortunately you can buy then directly for coins after you unlock her

[dreamy blade]

it's really hard to have the coin income to keep up with it until then

[prisma torrent]

Dev 25 rn

[viscid swift]

Unfortunately she needs 343 for max limit break and buying anymore than 15 a day gets really expensive

[dreamy blade]

she also wants her unique augment which is even more coins

[viscid swift]

Well rip all of those prototype cores then

[prisma torrent]

We get there when we get there

[dreamy blade]

if shes dev25 so youve already built her then where did you get blueprints for her? or have you already been coining

[viscid swift]

Also did you buy the PR pass or did you actually grind her out in world 6

[prisma torrent]

Grind

[viscid swift]

If it's the latter by god you're a masochist

[prisma torrent]

No, i started developing her last year

[viscid swift]

Yeah....

[prisma torrent]

Then i kinda sorta quit the game, then redownloaded

[viscid swift]

Grinding Xp in world 12 takes less than a week without much effort

[prisma torrent]

And she's more or less done, i pushed

[viscid swift]

Yeah you really shouldn't have

[prisma torrent]

I spent 10 minutes throwing slurs with my teammates in a MOBA game, i think this isnt taxing to say the least

[viscid swift]

Because you spend a lot of resources you didn't have into a ship that's barely usable at this stage

[eager mulch]

is amagi-chan good?

[viscid swift]

When they could have been used to make an actually good fleet

[prisma torrent]

What's done is done, time to thug it out like i usually do

[viscid swift]

And push the main campaign

Do you want advice or not?

[prisma torrent]

Not really, i was just asking if i should build her now or not

[viscid swift]

I'm happy to give it but if it's just gonna be ignored then

[eager mulch]

he wants advice but will not take it

[prisma torrent]

Wow okay

Im gonna end it here

[dreamy blade]

[eager mulch]

[stark quiver]

[worldly pewter]

no hard feeling get the general idea then act as u wish / like

[rapid grail]

[undone tundra]

guys what comp would u recc to stablely 1 strike Taihou meta without oath ships? (>90%
(other then z52, rumey, raffaello and raff gun i have all other ships

[stark quiver]

oh so hk players play under taiwan region?

[undone tundra]

yup , in same server

[worldly pewter]

no z52 i wonder who can tank and dps other than that cracked ship

[viscid swift]

What did we even use for Taiho

I think it was Amagi CV, Shinano, Implacable, Z52, Kazagumo, plus one

[undone tundra]

it will be predictable that z52 will come at the start of August but Nagato meta ends at August too
im afraid im not fast enough to get z52 ready

[viscid swift]

The thing is you kinda need Z52 if you don't wanna resort to Helena

[undone tundra]

and also the comp dont include helena

[undone tundra]

understandable

[viscid swift]

No other ship has the combination of AA, damage and utility

Trafalgar might but you need a BB for that

[rapid grail]

i used 3strike cv fleet w/ manual iirc. Torp ships to help in dmg dealt

shinano amagicv hakuryuu jintM shima unzen

[undone tundra]

what if bringing lion and trafalgar

[viscid swift]

Soyuz, Nahkomov, Amagi CV might work but

[stark quiver]

Try
Soyuz, lion, Nakh

[eager mulch]

but I love helena

[viscid swift]

I can't say because we got Trafalgar only at the tail end of hornet meta

[viscid swift]

I'm not that confident in Lion's performance against heavy armor

[undone tundra]

actually using it when fighting nagato meta but no oath so the 4th round of fire may not be able to end the fight

[viscid swift]

I think that was Nagato not Taiho

Because Taiho didn't have convenient stop timers

[stark quiver]

Megatron had like 2
And mfs had to use mog

[viscid swift]

Mecklenburg would be my BB of choice but that's a tad wishful thanking

[undone tundra]

[rapid grail]

fuck i forgot if i used the fleet against either of them

[viscid swift]

Though that also means needing Implacable which may or may not work out

[stark quiver]

I had like a 3% one shot rate for megatron

[viscid swift]

Yeah I think Helena was just more consistent since you only needed one radar scan

[undone tundra]

so lion nakh soyuz plymo trafa unzen at the time, after z52 ready kick unzen right?

[stark quiver]

Kick ply

[undone tundra]

the best comp i could come of

[viscid swift]

Unless you had literally everything maxed

[olive grotto]

What do the triangles next to an enemies fleet mean?

[undone tundra]

yup , every thing maxed

[viscid swift]

It's the difficulty level

[undone tundra]

reload of bb+17, cv+42

[viscid swift]

Just so we're clear, maxed main fleet tech, oaths and a good chunk of vanguard tech done

[rapid grail]

u actually lvl 154?

[undone tundra]

no oaths but other yes

[viscid swift]

Yeah the margins we had for Taiho were so low

That I'd rather run Helena unless like me you're incredibly stubborn

[undone tundra]

thk all, i will try without helena first to see how it goes

[viscid swift]

It's possible to one shot without her

[rapid grail]

mb i remember the spell circles; that was for nagato. now idk what i used for taihou in the first place; might need to consult the META Chronicles

[viscid swift]

Just really not consistent because even with Z52 it was pretty much Impossible to not leak planes

[undone tundra]

and seems nevada meta will come in August too, then i can max bb reload

[viscid swift]

Reload tech didn't matter for taiho since we pretty much exclusively ran 3 strike comps

Same with Hornet

[undone tundra]

isnt lion soyuz nakh run for 4 strike?

[viscid swift]

Well that you might go 4 strikes on

We didn't have Lion and Trafalgar for Taiho so it's kind of a crap shoot how that will turn out

[vague oracle]

Any good stage to afk farm? Oil overflowing

[viscid swift]

12-1

[undone tundra]

i go with this comp to fight nagato meta with about a 60% chance to beat her in once

hope this work for Taihou meta

[viscid swift]

You really need proper AA guns for Taiho

[undone tundra]

oh sure

[viscid swift]

I.e. Rainbow ones

[sharp socket]

why fpaa on backline

[undone tundra]

we dun have the rainbow eagle union aa gun still..

[viscid swift]

Also yeah hit on the main fleet

[sharp socket]

is your hitrate already maxed for soyuz

[viscid swift]

Taiho still has 75 eva

[sharp socket]

lion might be fine cuz afct but soyuz definitely not

oh also lion blackshell so i don't think she has max hitrate either

[viscid swift]

Against Kawakze without Aurora we're only looking at around 80% hit rate on the main fleet

[sharp socket]

if you want consistency youd go hitAA like twin 76 or staag if not rich

[sweet delta]

What fighter does nakhi need to 4 strike heavy without oath

[sharp socket]

bearcat?

[undone tundra]

i will change the aa guns for sure, but twin 76 not yet in my game

[sharp socket]

oh wait you're not global server?

[viscid swift]

Taiwan

[sharp socket]

[viscid swift]

Their schedule is weired

[undone tundra]

cuz not enough damage with 3strike for this comp
not much different with jp cvs 3 strike

[undone tundra]

yeah... can you imagine getting lion before lumey and z52
thats kind of weird
and we only got sandy's augment landed last week

[viscid swift]

Oh yeah

[sharp socket]

[stark quiver]

back to the future

[spare harbor]

should nj go in the mob fleet or boss fleet

[undone tundra]

depence on wt else ship you hv

[grand solar]

So who aside from Anchorage is a good tanking CA? As while I took the time, I'm not exactly too fond of Anchorage's personality.

[wind hazel]

napoli

[grand solar]

Where do I find her?

[wind hazel]

pr7

[grand solar]

Which faction is she?

[wind oxide]

Sardegna

[grand solar]

So Crimson Axis and Sardegna front line ships to earn XP for her?

[wind oxide]

Northern parliament and sardegna

[grand solar]

Ah Russian...two factions I barely use...

[strange path]

Should i be switching my research focus from 7 to 8 for gear?

[wind hazel]

how many la9 you got?

[strange path]

i have no idea what that is so probably 0

[wind hazel]

the rainbow fighter from pr7...... you know, the gear

[strange path]

definitely 0

[wind hazel]

like 0 prints? how long were you in pr7 before this

[strange path]

i am 15/50

i was in pr7 for like a month ish

[undone tundra]

then i guess you can switch to pr8 first cuz too far from getting 1 la9
unless you want to build nakh and get her bp

[wind hazel]

depends on what you want i guess. pr7 is more meta 1shot orientated, pr8 is more generalist approach, not wrong focus either way

[strange path]

is there a link that shows me which prints drop from which pr?

[grizzled sundial]

That 300 bp in PR research focus is shared among all PR ship for each season and not individual ?

[strange path]

yes

[wind hazel]

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

pr8 not updated, it's meck gun

[strange path]

oh this is very helpful indeed

[undone tundra]

shared among all

[strange path]

are any of the pr1 guns good? (not including hood gun and beehive) I'm 20/25+ for most of them should i go back and finish them or forget about it

[viscid swift]

I would forget about it honestly

[slender turtle]

Are the 2:30 hour ship specifc d researchs better than the 5 hr ones?

[viscid swift]

I would take the shorter research

[undone tundra]

i remember most pr1 guns can be found in other seasons but i forgot exactly which in where

[spare harbor]

do i use promise ring on deadmaster or nj

[undone tundra]

like these three can be found in pr7
most of them are still good gears

[undone tundra]

mostly recc to give it to your waifu
in terms of strength nj better, but there are more ships stronger than her

[spare harbor]

yh but rn nj's my only ur and i prolly wont be getting another ur until much later

[wind hazel]

just use it on your waifu

[spare harbor]

who's better than nj?

[wind hazel]

she's the bottom 3 of UR BB, what do you think

[undone tundra]

musashi , bis zwei, lion, soyuz, etc, UR bbs mostly better than her tbh

[spare harbor]

damn thats rough

[soft raft]

what being the oldest Gacha UR BB in the game does to a mofo

[wind hazel]

like i said, just oath your waifu. doesn't matter who

[undone tundra]

promise ring just give to your waifu, no maps requires oath to pass
but nj calls you honey, wont you want to oath her?

[spare harbor]

where does retrofit warspite sit

[wind oxide]

Same place as NJ

[undone tundra]

with augment, maybe slightly above of nj

[wind oxide]

Personal damage is slightly better

[undone tundra]

but still quite bottom bbs i would say

[spare harbor]

crazy
thx anyways yall

[undone tundra]

[iron meteor]

for bossiing is it better if i have all bb?

[stark quiver]

Depends on the boss

[sweet delta]

Depends on your bb

[grand solar]

You shouldn't wait rings on bottom tier ships. Give them to your best ships to make them better. Waifus don't equal anything in this game. I know. I've given rings to some of the crappiest.

And remember the only good submarines are loliboats.

Any others are complete crap

[hollow gust]

Why lion not SS for everything

[iron meteor]

can i ask for fleet help?

[wind oxide]

[stark quiver]

her name is literally lion

[wind oxide]

Bro's hard core lion fan

[stark quiver]

yeh

[stark quiver]

its all or nothing unless you are good enough to make your own sync for top meta boats
and tactical oathing is for the whales

[hollow gust]

Although how is Zwei SS for W14 bossing and Lion isn't

[iron meteor]

ive had this mob and boss fleet for so long now idk if i got any better fleets i can make

[grand solar]

No tactical oathing is for people who aren't whales as you are priorritizing what's best. Not based on how you feel. That's for the whales.

[verbal plinth]

dont worry in half a year the ship you oathed for meta wont be meta anymore

[wind oxide]

[hollow gust]

Tf? Once you start oathing for meta you need to oath everything else to have easy time syncing. Which is near impossible for f2p

Not oath any meta ship makes you life easier since most top comps work

[undone tundra]

i guess its becuz lion's durability may not be that good as bis zwei

bis zwei got a summon stuff to help tank some of the damage

[stark quiver]

Yea I agree

[stark quiver]

whats these fleets for

[wind oxide]

[iron meteor]

just bossing and mobbing im still at 13-1

[stark quiver]

lets make a thread for this

[hollow gust]

CVs become bigger and bigger pain in the ass the more random your oath are

[soft raft]

yeah nah triple BB on boss is not gonna work
no chance in hell

[stark quiver]

ive had this mob and boss fleet for so

[wind oxide]

For one thing I know is Lion has literally the best damage and for... durability idk if you can kill off the enemies fast enough
There must be other reasons for why zwei is SS

[stark quiver]

triple bb?

[hollow gust]

Musashi is mislabeled

[soft raft]

#gameplay-help message

[undone tundra]

she has a unique gear which allow her do much decent damage when she run out of bullets

[stark quiver]

oh

[sweet delta]

does sextuple BB have a chance in hell?

[soft raft]

BisZwei has the black hole which can buch up enemies together

What the other guy said is extremely niche for doing 3* lethal runs on W14

[sweet delta]

players who use bisz mob in 14 and have certificate should use certificate even when not 3 starring

[stark quiver]

i will change it

[cobalt robin]

Someone with monty oath omgg

[tropic tusk]

As U play more that will be normal

[cobalt robin]

I'm just happy there's another Monty enjoyer

[white musk]

I uh
Spent like $40 on the azur lane collab in wosh for monty lol
Even though she's pretty much just a mediocre radar ship in that game

[cobalt robin]

I also spent money to oath monty lol I don't really care abt meta that much

[iron meteor]

what ship is this

[white musk]

nakhimov

[rain vine]

admiral nakhimov

[iron meteor]

oh wait is that the pr

[cobalt robin]

[signal leaf]

Is the Triple 406mm (16"/45 Mk 6) better than the gold normal version? ((BL 16" Mk I))

[tropic tusk]

Pr7

[stark quiver]

[cobalt robin]

40 more hours and I'll have agir 😔

[signal leaf]

So less fp but better armor modifier and slightly better damage right

[soft raft]

Don't bother using any BB gun that's normal ammunition in the first place

[signal leaf]

hmm okay

how do I tell if a gun is good in general?

cuz I dont wanna keep referring to a tier list 💔

[sweet delta]

understand the damage formula, pay attention to spread, splash, range, and all the other stats

[cobalt robin]

what the best way to lvl subs 😔

[inner delta]

dorm them

or exp book

[cobalt robin]

my precious books 😔

[inner delta]

then dorm

[stark quiver]

wait for a raid event

[cobalt robin]

Already had them in dorm for a week

Dorm only gets you so far

I have 1800 books but not sure if it's worth it

[wind hazel]

do you need the sub?

[cobalt robin]

well for w14 I'll need em no?

[wind hazel]

not really, they help but they are not necessary

[undone tundra]

unless u need some help in w14/15, else most of the time you dun need sub

[cobalt robin]

alright then

[stark quiver]

no

[cobalt robin]

I'll feed them to my bullins

[undone tundra]

even you feed them with books, you still get affinity to work with

[weary oar]

any recommendations on where to spend "extra" gold? i'm currently rerolling cats but i feel like there's better things to do

[stark quiver]

i mean..... you can also limit break ships, buy shop stuff with coins, uncap/cog awaken ships
https://discordapp.com/channels/456397991847395339/460645783021289472/1342705410859335742 <this is a last resort option

[weary oar]

i'll consider the last resort option

need more cog+ chips and gold bulins

[stark quiver]

unless youre overcapping at 600k, no need to do too much

[weary oar]

for sure

[midnight blaze]

I have a question about buying an item. The PR Vouchers Box didn't list the ship I'm wanting to get it. Do they sometimes not have all ships available?

[stark quiver]

do you want a DR ship?
they arent included

[midnight blaze]

Wanting Fredrick de Grove and he's not mentioned in it.

[stark quiver]

yea, they only include the golds

[quick vigil]

my cattery full, is there a way to recycle or something?

[stark quiver]

feed cats into another cats using the enhance tab

[quick vigil]

all max out btw

[wind hazel]

40/40 maxed out?

[eternal basalt]

Then you buy more slots, or hope the devs ever fix it (or mail support and have insane hope they want to delete a cat)

[quick vigil]

something like a feature where you can exchange what you have for parts

[eternal basalt]

#game-feedback

[vale spindle]

Remember to save coins for shipyard as ur unlocking new ships

[warped acorn]

retrofited helena now. should i give her sg radar or remain the same?

[wind hazel]

depends on the fight. campaign you just remove it

[whole crypt]

just curious when you say max out did you just get 40 cats to 30 or did you actually get 40 good cats

[wind oxide]

How good is kawakaze meta?

[undone tundra]

quite high torpedo damage, durability above medium , but not in top list

[wind oxide]

Ayooo damn your name
identity theft per min
Also how does she perform in meta boss fights and campaign (boss or mob) perferably

[narrow kiln]

What is a secret ticket and what is it for?

[whole crypt]

she'll probably be fine for campaign, event and OS mob but I don't see her standing out for a showdown or otherwise OS boss scenario

[whole crypt]

secrets is an in-game asmr-ish thing, you get a free ticket every month and it takes 3 tickets to unlock one

[bleak skiff]

Is she any good? I got her from doing the daily pull

I have 2 UR bulins tho and have unzen and nj without limit break who should I use the bulins on

[whole crypt]

don't do your daily pulls in heavy/special

do you have enough spec cores to buy another 2 UR bulins, if not just don't bother with them for now

[cobalt robin]

Keep the bullins for unzen or future event urs

[cobalt robin]

I do it 😔✌🏻

[whole crypt]

it's your choice to be wasting cubes

[cobalt robin]

Eh it's not that bad

[robust nymph]

i think if you look at it in the long run it's pretty bad

[cobalt robin]

depends on your account and cubes really

I'm not much concerned abt meta and I'll have enough cubes for the next ur guaranteed

[bleak skiff]

nah Id ont

[cobalt robin]

For me it's not a problem

[bleak skiff]

If its just 1 pull on heavy daily Im still net positive for the day

[boreal merlin]

Is SAP good?

[reef flume]

Medium armor only

[boreal merlin]

ah

[robust nymph]

eh fair, btw what's a good way to get t3 yellow books? i have so many of the other types but 0 yellow t3 ones which is annoying

[undone tundra]

if you hv characters not yet unlocked in heavy/special pool, it is acceptable to daily pull there as if you guaranteened the next UR

but still not that recc becuz you can get them in event pools too

[cobalt robin]

Yes also a reason why I pull special cause I want some girlies

[undone tundra]

and in anniversary events there are special pools that can choose whom to be pick up characters from the heavy/special/light pools

[cobalt robin]

Also I'm gonna go all in in the atelier event so I don't really concern myself too much with meta or min maxing

[cobalt robin]

Daily raids that's abt it

You can craft t2 into t3

If you're very low on the yellow ones you could also use blue to upgrade support skills

[robust nymph]

oh wait you can? didnt know you could with books

[cobalt robin]

It's less exp but most people have less red/yellow than blues

[robust nymph]

also didnt consider that, ty

[cobalt robin]

No problem

[bleak skiff]

Has the anniversary for the game already happened? for this year

[fair lance]

For EN it's in August

[narrow kiln]

Have you ever used Bullins on UR from a standard banners?
(Seeing your attitude, I wanted to ask)

[undone tundra]

en is in august

[cobalt robin]

I don't like any of the standards so no

[bleak skiff]

sweet as I came back just in time

[cobalt robin]

If I liked them I would've used ur bullins even tho it's a bad idea

[narrow kiln]

I see.
...Well, I did that with one.

[cobalt robin]

who

[narrow kiln]

Will you try to guess, seeing my nickname and roles?

[cobalt robin]

It's Kronstadt isn't it

[narrow kiln]

Yes.
And I came to the game to get Belarus...

[cobalt robin]

Is your kron mlb?

[narrow kiln]

Yes.
Also, I'm only missing 7k coins for MLB Bismarck Zwei.

[cobalt robin]

Damn

[eager marsh]

when is gems 2x bonus reset?

[remote yarrow]

On Anni

[cobalt robin]

Anniversary

[eager marsh]

is it back in May?

[remote yarrow]

No, August

[eager marsh]

alright tyty

[bleak skiff]

Whats the best iron blood vanguard I can make from these bc Im tryna get agir

[undone tundra]

i think the ssrs are good enough to farm in 12-4/12-1

[bleak skiff]

so

[forest palm]

zed fleet would work

[bleak skiff]

double roon + nimi?

[undone tundra]

but should be in max limit break state

[undone tundra]

if you bring an unicorn in the mob team, its fine

(actually without unicorn is also ok but it depends on your gears cant be too bad

[bleak skiff]

my mob team is warspite unicorn independance

then Ig whoever for the vanguard thats iron blood

[tropic tusk]

If Ur farming 12-1 or12-4 as long as U got uni the other 5 can be anything as long as lvl 70 above with gear

[bleak skiff]

oh okay, is 12-1 or 12-4 better?

like whats the difference between the two

[tropic tusk]

X-1 is exp more x-4 is money more

[bleak skiff]

ohhh

wb X-2 and X-3

[tropic tusk]

If U have good gear U can actually even bring 6random ships

As long as U got a boss team to do the boss fight

[undone tundra]

1st column is coins, 2nd is exp ,3rd is chips, 45 not important, 6 is affinity

[wind hazel]

not much point to do them since they don't provide benefit in term of oil or coin

[undone tundra]

calculated in terms of 10k oil

[robust nymph]

which one? prinz

[undone tundra]

left one better in most of the time

[muted crescent]

left one is better no?

[bleak skiff]

okay thanks

[robust nymph]

aight, and what about this?

[wind hazel]

left is better since it's already +10

any gold AA gun>any purple AA gun

[undone tundra]

some exception

[robust nymph]

is gold bofors better than twin105mm?

[tropic tusk]

Left is +6

[wind hazel]

💀 what exception?

[wind hazel]

bro can you look properly

[wind oxide]

see the pic he replied to

[tropic tusk]

I was looking at 2nd pic

[undone tundra]

this shit

[wind hazel]

still better than any purple

[undone tundra]

no

[wind hazel]

ok dude

[undone tundra]

these are also trash

[muted crescent]

never seen anyone use these ever

[undone tundra]

yup cuz they are too shit

[wind hazel]

i suggest you guys to just ignore this guy. he's extremely unreliable

[worldly pewter]

roon magde any of the z

[robust nymph]

looking at the sheet it seems like it

[muted crescent]

holy shit that’s some good shit there
By the way wtf is that UR part used for

[bleak skiff]

ty

[tropic tusk]

yes thats where u will earn most of the rainbow mats

[muted crescent]

but what do they do?

[wind hazel]

+13 gear

[worldly pewter]

+13 an ur gear

[muted crescent]

ok ic

[worldly pewter]

only the last step costs cogs

[rapid moth]

You need 5 of them to go from +12 to +13 if I recall correctly.

[tropic tusk]

ur going to need a mountain of them

[undone tundra]

the last step of +13 UR gear

[tropic tusk]

so dont u worry about it

[worldly pewter]

that is why sometimes u see people with +12 dock

i wonder why

[wind hazel]

i feel attacked

[tropic tusk]

[narrow kiln]

Is this very useful?

[wind hazel]

yes of course

[wind oxide]

Damn

[tropic tusk]

ur gear are only +10 imagine +13 lol

[worldly pewter]

the last upgrade has the most value out of the 3

[robust nymph]

did people who maxed out 2.4mil xp pr8 already use storaged oil? it's 951 oil 3 runs, 3 runs are about 3%. so it's about 33 runs needed which is like 31k+ oil

[gaunt cedar]

what do i do when ive cleared all the icons above nodes in opsi?

[robust nymph]

or maybe they farm further stages than 12-4 i suppose

[worldly pewter]

u can max everything with 0

[wind hazel]

im farming at 12-1, mainfleet, haven't used storage oil at all

[narrow kiln]

Is this the power of OpSi?

[wind hazel]

95%

[wind oxide]

actually you can just farm the highest xp per oil stage that is 11-1 and just loop over and over

[robust nymph]

are you waiting for morale to go back to 140ish before an other sortie or you dont care about it?

[rapid moth]

Using 12-1 as well, but then I'm only at 35% for the 2.4 part. I'm lazy.

[wind hazel]

i wait until 150

[worldly pewter]

never give this advice to anyone leave it to urself

[wind oxide]

Ahem

[muted crescent]

is bro gatekeeping 😭

[robust nymph]

wdym by mainfleet? using only 1 fleet and not 1mob 1boss is that what it means?

[wind hazel]

150 morale>grind 3 set sorties>touch grass 40mins+~, repeat

no im doing mainfleet CDC

[robust nymph]

ahh ok

[tropic tusk]

150 morale > grind 3 set sorties > opsi for 40 min > repeat

[wind hazel]

vanguard is gonna take longer, obviously, unless you rig it, which is still slower

[worldly pewter]

while the part of the best exp/ is indeed true
it doesn't benefit anyone in the long term

[robust nymph]

why? isnt it 2.4 for both? or is it cause main fleet gets mvp often

[tropic tusk]

@robust nymph no need touch grass man

[rapid moth]

Oh right. Yeh, doing vanguard, I keep forgetting the flagship goes faster.

[wind hazel]

because mainfleet flagship+mvp yes

[robust nymph]

i dont understand well opsi yet but from what i understood it changes after 1 month of you completing the beginning (?) idk regardless most of my opsi zones give 0 xp and they're tedious as hell

[worldly pewter]

btw u should prioritize the ur cog over anything else in the shop because i know someone who is kinda 👴 and still got that mat in a deficit state

[tropic tusk]

did u complet ur first time yet?

[wind oxide]

Wdym opsi zones give 0 exp?

[muted crescent]

I have AP for days I'm planning to clear that shi

[robust nymph]

idk what "first time" means really. i explored 90% of the entire map i just miss few zones

[cobalt robin]

No opsi gives some exp, Pepsi story and blue siren fleets don't give any exp

[tropic tusk]

0exp on comander

[cobalt robin]

Pepsi lol

[muted crescent]

there

[tropic tusk]

does ur shop reset every month?

[worldly pewter]

raise ur adapts and clear the stronghold mini boss that appears in the middle of the run
it drops a chest that gives around 350 purple currency

[undone tundra]

you gotta explore 100% of the entire map to complete the "first time"

[narrow kiln]

Some enemies* (possibly zones) do not give experience
*I remember for example enemies appearing in "hidden" zones.

[cobalt robin]

Opsi may not give a lot of exp per battle but it adds up to being quite a lot later on

[muted crescent]

bruh Abyssal killed me no way I'm doing stronghold just yet

[tropic tusk]

opsi gives ships exp period

[robust nymph]

oh okay, then no. i will try to

[wind hazel]

if you repeat c1, they give exp

[cobalt robin]

.

[wind oxide]

you farm opsi for gear mats and ship level
not just opsi but campaign comm level automatically comes you dont specifically need to farm for comm level and not like it matters

[tropic tusk]

just be slave at c1 , net profit on cp + inf exp

[worldly pewter]

grinding exp in opsi is one of the most giga hardcore activity that someone can do in the game
99,99% of the players don't do it

[cobalt robin]

Cp? Huh
