gameplay-help

[verbal plinth]

Yeah I'll never get holo so not a huge deal

[viscid swift]

we're trying to have an actual discussion, not just telling people to "get lucky" which is rather unhelpful, such talk can be taken to #al-general

[whole crypt]

can we cut it out already, the point is just don't waste cubes where they're not needed

[red hawk]

sorry, the tension was just getting a bit much was a bit of banter, won't do it again

[whole crypt]

that's really all there is to it

[viscid swift]

oh trust me this is normal

[wind hazel]

the weekend special

[viscid swift]

happens every week

[whole crypt]

every day

[forest palm]

right JP also doesn't get the B2 DDs

[whole crypt]

JP is -2, EN is -8

[plain saffron]

what's B2

[whole crypt]

bilibili collab DDs

[forest palm]

BiliBili

[viscid swift]

bilibili I presume

[plain saffron]

ouh

[forest palm]

also -8?

[whole crypt]

sad

[viscid swift]

yeah, we never got the uterwermo collab

[forest palm]

should it not be -6

[whole crypt]

6 from utaware and 2 from bili

[forest palm]

only assumed it was 4 from the screen

[whole crypt]

I just snipped 2 rows from the screen

I'm just reminded logging out to reset commissions is no longer a thing now

[plain saffron]

thanks

[wicked obsidian]

Where do I farm these...?

[soft raft]

you dont really
also DO NOT use those for CDC XP

Always convert those to protocore

[plain saffron]

can't really farm those

[whole crypt]

can't farm at all, not can't really

[wicked obsidian]

I can convert them...how?

[plain saffron]

also convert to protocore then buy weapon blueprint instead

[whole crypt]

go to depot, analayze

[plain saffron]

some people will say 'farm" BP or something so i'm playing safe

[soft raft]

Go to depot -> Tap on it -> tap "Analyze"

[whole crypt]

all sources of CDPs are limited and one time, you may count cruise as recurring but that's not farming

[wicked obsidian]

How.... Did I get those..Combat Data pack in the 1st place??

[soft raft]

mainly cruise pass and the research rookie missions

[whole crypt]

research missions, cruise

[plain saffron]

likely missions bcs season 1

[whole crypt]

since those are PR1 chances are research missions

[wicked obsidian]

Ow...i DO research 1 time everyday.... didnt even realize i was getting them from there

[viscid swift]

not those

[wicked obsidian]

oww...YA...there was the DeV. mission

[whole crypt]

as it turns out lv104 GL dev5 is a fairly bad idea for 1:1 13-1

will probably die if the 0 ammo fight is a red CV node

[silk helm]

1:1 13-1 is crazy

[whole crypt]

it isn't though

[verbal plinth]

Cog farm right?

[forest palm]

ya that's a cog farm

[whole crypt]

it's a cog farm and I have nothing else to do besides leveling GL now

[forest palm]

the cog struggle

[silk helm]

is that a legit strategy?

i do be needing cog

[muted crescent]

bro dev 5 and lvl 104 is wild asf

[inner delta]

its legit, they start dropping at w12

[sweet delta]

It is not a legit strategy for a new player who needs help

[silk helm]

ill just be poor on cogs 😦

[verbal plinth]

If you got a ton of ships already max XP maybe

[whole crypt]

it's also not a legit strategy to normally do with a new research ship

[silk helm]

well... i have a ton of ships that are lvl 100 with enough xp to reach 120... but no cogs

[whole crypt]

either you buy yourself out of this predicament or you wait out the daily raid
1:1 13-1 requires rather specific ships and probably oathed if you want it to happen reliably

also not sure how many of "ton of ships" because 13-1 chip grind isn't fast either

[sweet delta]

Do it all year and you'll be able to 120 an extra 10 ships

[undone plover]

Also the rates for cog chip farming is really really bad
U get sth like 300 per 10k oil spent
Even with the most efficient cog chip farming team

Do your comms and be careful who u uncap and u will be fine

[red hawk]

what do I do with the special general blueprints

[whole crypt]

convert them to blue prints for research ships when you actually get to work on them, you're probably still quite far off

[undone plover]

Convert to ship prints
General advice is use it in same season
So general print s7 for s7 ships etc

More specific advice I will need to see your dock and shipyard status

Can hold on to them and decide later when u know more

[whole crypt]

to be fair I'm really just leveling GL, technically already out of cog drought

[stark quiver]

do you have max faction tech pts

[whole crypt]

no because PR8

[forest palm]

just like me fr fr

KMS was the fastest faction to finish tbh

[stark quiver]

im only at 22k tech ♿

[whole crypt]

that's with GL

oh right Kawakaze META not 120 yet either

[cobalt robin]

me with my 3500 :-:

[fallen jay]

Quick question now that Anchorage is mlb and level 74 should I swap her into my mob fleet in place of little Agir?

And just swap the gear set on Little Agir onto Anchorage?

[opaque musk]

Any suggestions for Vanguard fleet? I'm trying grind exp for Plymouth

[forest palm]

Trafalgar, London, Sirius

[verbal plinth]

Maybe aurora for light later

[stark quiver]

aurora instead of london so you have a good ship instead of some tech fodder

[forest palm]

I keep forgetting she exists

[red hawk]

so should I keep pushing campaign through low morale? or wait for regen

[viscid swift]

well at 0 morale your XP gain is cut in half

[quasi nymph]

what was the universal purple he bb gun again ?

[viscid swift]

the Mk6?

[silk helm]

universal...

[quasi nymph]

i always get confused about that one gun

so which one is it ?

[quasi nymph]

thanks

[fallen jay]

So uh should I replace Little Agir with Anchorage or no? She’s fully developed and level 74

[forest palm]

do you have a tank for your second fleet?

[fallen jay]

Portland is my tank for boss fleet.

[forest palm]

and what level is your Little Agir and Portland?

[fallen jay]

Portland is 111 and Agir is 95

[forest palm]

for now swap out Little Agir for Anchor, once Anchor is high enough level swap Portland to mob and Anchor to boss

[fallen jay]

Alright. She should be able to survive in 11-1/4 right?

[forest palm]

do you not have access to world 12?

[fallen jay]

Not yet I’m very close though. Just need to beat 11-4 two more times. So far oil has been holding me back from doing it and going to W12 right now

[forest palm]

12 - 1 would be a lot easier for leveling as opposed to 11 - 1, but if you're Anchor is Dev 30 she may do alright, if anything she just sits in dorm till Lv 90

[fallen jay]

She has been sitting in dorm still is right now. Just growing her power

[little plinth]

do you do reduced damage when helping others with their meta battles? I feel like I've noticed this for a long time but unsure by how much

[stark quiver]

You dont get reduced dmg
but you dont get supporting barrage

[forest palm]

it's the opposite in your normal fights you have the support barrage bloating numbers

[little plinth]

ah that would do it, cause normally when I do the helper fights I do 1.4-1.55 but I 1-shot when I finally did my own

[manic spear]

guys is there like a skip battle option for farming if you already 3 starred the level or something

kinda like crk with their time skips or whatever they were called

[viscid swift]

no

[soft raft]

no but you can set the game to run 3 runs back to back by itself

can technically turn it into 6 if you use the HELP plans but that would mean faster morale and oil drain

[visual pebble]

daft question, sure, I just saw a video where Fritz Rumey has two fighters equipped as so

yet for me her second slot is dive bombers

[soft raft]

She needs to be MLB for her 2nd slot to be able to equip fighters or TBs instead

[sweet delta]

it appears that you are using a suboptimal fritz

[visual pebble]

👍

Cheers

[last zenith]

guys. whats a good sakura tank.

[sweet delta]

They're not the best, but Azuma or Unzen perhaps

[last zenith]

just confirming. ok
ok whats a good tank overall

[forest palm]

just post what you have, don't need to play a guessing game

[sweet delta]

depends on how hard the enemy hits

but the tankiest tanks include Napoli, Aegir, chinawall, laffii, guam, etc

[last zenith]

I cant post what I have. My azur lane is tweaking out

so just off the top of ur mind, what are some good tanks.
been playing for 5 years, I got most of those ships in those 5 years

[sweet delta]

/ehp

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

List of vanguard ships by tankiness by mebot

[cobalt robin]

Unzen can tank? Why is she listed as a pure dps vanguard in the spreadsheet

[last zenith]

unzen is less tanky than a lot. but she has best torpedo in the game

[sweet delta]

if portland can tank, then unzen can tank

[zenith heron]

she can tank by based on her HP alone... just not as much as the rest of the solid ones...

[cobalt robin]

Hm makes sense

I took the "pure dps vanguard" too literally

[stark quiver]

well thats indeed her purpose in end game

[cobalt robin]

dw my monty is the best tank for end game ✌🏻

[verbal plinth]

What's the kirov meta used for in that video perseus

[sweet delta]

15% fleet damage, only good for EX and speed runs because it's only for the first salvo

[verbal plinth]

Ahhh

[high star]

Does the -300 gem coupon expire?

[stark quiver]

yea

valid until: 2025.8.13 23:59:59 (UTC-7)

[high star]

piss and shit

[agile patrol]

hlep, i dont have anymore space for ship ladies
is it over for me

[soft raft]

Just scrap all your common rarity fodder

[agile patrol]

i

i have three commons, and that won't fix anything :(

[soft raft]

how willing are you to part with your gold and purple bullins?

[stark quiver]

get more d*ck

[agile patrol]

WHAT

[agile patrol]

uploaded my dock

[soft raft]

Have you already considered buying more dock space

[agile patrol]

what is the. er. recommended gem priority thingy

there was a priority thingy, on what i should spend my gems on first
i have 2 academy slots, 4 dorm slots, no second floor

[soft raft]

3rd dorm slot + 2nd floor of dorm
then after that it's all in on dock space

[agile patrol]

oh
so my next thing is 2nd floor

[soft raft]

yeesh 4th dorm slot

[agile patrol]

and then dump all into d*ck?

[soft raft]

yeah 2nd floor
then after that it's all in on dock with zero exceptions

[agile patrol]

perfect

[steep grotto]

How can I get Akagi fast?

[viscid swift]

your only way is to grind 3-4

[steep grotto]

not like I've been trying for days

[soft raft]

just keep grinding

tho I sincerly hope you arent like a week old player that's screwing yourself over by not continuing to push campaign

cuz Akagi and Kaga have been extremely powercrept

[steep grotto]

I am missing only Akagi

I am at like 6-1

[soft raft]

bruh

just come back when you can easily curbstomp 3-4 with 2 ships man, the foxes are not worth halting your progression towards W9

[whole vault]

What is the heartbeat mode in the 3D dormitory?

[cobalt gate]

welp i kinda ran out of italy ships to lvl up

[tame jungle]

thanks for the update bro

[stark quiver]

how important is 100% hit rate compared to 98%

[muted crescent]

use the high-effciency plans you see before starting

[hushed sorrel]

clear many maps with 3* and you should get the needed gems without much effort.
since you are already at max space i would upgrade the dockspace first thing or use your bulins!

also join a guild and make some guild stuff to earn the 30 guild dock space

[stark quiver]

i mean theres no difference other than time
and a person at 6-1 shouldnt even be farming 3-4

[muted crescent]

don't need to tell me of all people 😭
I've done that before

[muted crescent]

all of that aside, forget Akagi, you'll find much better than her as you go along

genuinely down there as one of the worst, and Kaga's even worse

[steep grotto]

Like NJ?

[muted crescent]

Shinano is also someone you can get from handbook

just get her.
NJ's also good tbf

[soft raft]

No, because NJ would at least be better than a decent amount of her SR equivalents

Kaga and Akagi just suck ass for SR CVs

[muted crescent]

NJ's UR 💀

[steep grotto]

Oathed Enterprise would be better right?

[muted crescent]

by a mile

[soft raft]

yeah exactly
She's a UR so she's better than most SR BBs

[steep grotto]

Whats the handbook I haven't played in a while

[soft raft]

Oath isnt neccessary unless she's waifu, but yee she'd be way better

[steep grotto]

Second Waifu

[muted crescent]

this stuff

I have a tab missing (I completed all the stage quests and got Shinano)

[steep grotto]

What one it for Shinano?

[muted crescent]

it's in Rookie Missions, 1st tab

complete stage 9 to get a choice between NJ and Shinano

[stark quiver]

didnt clear 10-4

[muted crescent]

level locked

I'm legit lvl 69 😭💀

[wicked obsidian]

Hay....Do we have any info on what or when the next (any) event is coming????

[viscid swift]

there's a livestream in less than 12 hours showcasing the new ships for the Yumina collab later this week

[eager mulch]

wake me up when they announce amagi-chan unique aug

[plain saffron]

So you'll sleep forever

[eager mulch]

that’s what you think

[desert trellis]

whats the quickest way to get blueprints for Napoli

[ionic kraken]

how do y'all grind for coins?

[viscid swift]

well your only way is to do PR7 research focus

[desert trellis]

that takes ages 😭

[viscid swift]

and with the best will in the world it'll take 3-4 months to get enough BPs to dev 30 her

[viscid swift]

grind 12-4

[wicked obsidian]

Oww... nice..ok

Hope it's a UR

[viscid swift]

I would bet my life savings there will not be a UR

[wicked obsidian]

U just smashed my Dream.... before I even started dreaming

[soft raft]

Alot of people would be hella pissed if they found out they've basically peramently missed out on a collab UR

[ionic kraken]

how long of grinding operation siren does it take y'all to craft a gear lab weapon?

[soft raft]

And if they really were to do a collab UR, it most definetly would've been Ryza who got it cuz she's like the main face of the franchisew

[viscid swift]

from scratch? 2-4 months depending on what it is and RNG

[soft raft]

that varies depending on how much RNG screws you over

[wicked obsidian]

So .. Ryza isn't gonna be a Collab unit.

[ionic kraken]

oh jeez so it's probly a smart idea to have termporary weapons to use in the meantime if a gear lab weapon is bis

[soft raft]

????
She's already in the collab dawg
We're getting Ryza rerun + characters from Ryza Yumina

[wicked obsidian]

Rerunnnn

There are rerun for Collab.....

This is a 1st....
I mean 1st time hearing something like this...

[soft raft]

Yup, this is the third collab rerun ever

[stark quiver]

is it gaurenteed?

[plain saffron]

This one? Yeah

[sweet delta]

How much is your life savings?

[fallen jay]

So is there anyway of getting more commander exp other than just grinding 11-4 over and over to get to 80 so I can play in W12-1?

Cause it’s only giving about 60 exp per sortie.

[stark quiver]

operation siren

[fallen jay]

Sweet been doing that a lot today. Does campaign help out with the commander level or nah?

[hollow sail]

opsi commander level is pretty slow iirc. well just be patient and keep doing campaign

[fallen jay]

Oof. I was hoping I could get level 80 soon so I could do W12. I finally got it unlocked just to be told by the game you have to be Commander level 80

[hollow sail]

you should do opsi anyways but not specifically for the commander level

[fallen jay]

Anchorage is leveling up nicely. She’s at 78 now

[fallen jay]

Yeah I have a lot of action point boxes I can use. Should I also be doing its campaign for exp?

[viscid swift]

not for XP but you do want to get it done

[hollow sail]

campaign for normal exp also yes

oh you meant opsi campaign?

[fallen jay]

Yeah.

[hollow sail]

you should do the story opsi missions as soon as you can

after you clear i think is chpter 4 you get access to the "normal" opsi shops when the month rolls over

[fallen jay]

Alrighty then. That should also get my teams leveled up a bit more.

[fallen jay]

Speaking of chapters I can’t tell what chapter is which in that place

[hollow sail]

level up in campaign then try clear as much of opsi story as you can before the end of the month

[fallen jay]

Does it reset the siren ops map each month?

[hollow sail]

keep an eye on the opsi stores in the meanwhile and buy the good stuff

yeah, it's all reset. need to do a full reclear each month of the entire map (not the story obviously)

[fallen jay]

So it’s at the end of July right? Not like a set you only have 30 days right?

[hollow sail]

yes end of july. start of new month = opsi map is wiped

[fallen jay]

Alright good then I have 11 days to get as much campaign done as possible. I have the siren ops thing at IV

[hollow sail]

your adapts are essentially like "buffs/nerfs", the more you have the easier it becomes to defeat the enemies

[fallen jay]

Oh that’s something I’ve been collecting as much as I can. Got a whole lot of buffs from it

[tropic tusk]

End of each month opsi will reset

[wicked obsidian]

Hay is it ok to Sell all Blue Gear ⛮ ??? I ran out of space...

[soft raft]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Thebombzen/Safe_To_Scrap_MK_II

[wicked obsidian]

These are Purple Gears...

I need to sell Blue ones...

[stark quiver]

read

[ivory pawn]

Read the text notes at the top.

[soft raft]

[stark quiver]

[wicked obsidian]

okk... Where is Gear Lab ?

Its not the Craft option Right...

[plain saffron]

It's under lab

[wicked obsidian]

ya...found it..Playing for 2 Months...1st time coming here

hay,, is there no way of knowing which Blue Equipment is needed in Gear lab...??

[stark quiver]

just look at the crafting tree and see what you need

[soft raft]

*tree

[stark quiver]

[wicked obsidian]

ow...no no .... i wanted to know that cause... (so i dont sell my blue Gear which i culd use in Gear Lab)

[stark quiver]

if you read the guide, then youd know

[wicked obsidian]

only 10 gear are specifically pointed out..

are those all... thats used in gear lab

[stark quiver]

no

[wicked obsidian]

So, You guys remember all the gear thats needed in Gear lab

[sweet delta]

if you'e not sure, then just equip gear on ships you don't use

[stark quiver]

i simply dont scrap gear

[wicked obsidian]

ow...that could give me some space...Tnx

[wicked obsidian]

how do U even keep them then...

[stark quiver]

put random gear on random ships as the guy said

[wicked obsidian]

looks like no other way...Gonna do that then

[viscid swift]

or just scrap everything because reobtaining blue gear isn't exactly difficult

[stark quiver]

me when mikasa gun

[soft raft]

[whole crypt]

not too bad only took me about 800 medals last I tried

[gaunt mauve]

I'm new to the game and I don't know who to get for my team

[stark quiver]

get shinano first, but dont use her
also ask again if you have full pity pts (dont pull right now)

and it seems you need a tank for that fleet

[gaunt mauve]

Yep

[muted crescent]

ok so I need to replace London for another CA for Hard Mode clears, do I just build San Francisco?

[wind hazel]

why need to replace?

[muted crescent]

London keeps getting cooked 😭

[wind hazel]

show the fleets

[wind hazel]

what about portland?

[muted crescent]

Nowhere to be seen

[wind hazel]

[muted crescent]

I scrapped her instantly

[sweet delta]

bro scrapped all gray and blue ships 💀

[muted crescent]

Yup

[forest palm]

[muted crescent]

filtered for CAs btw cuz I need a CA for Hard Mode

[wind hazel]

swap neptune and london

wait neptune is CL? lol

[muted crescent]

Yes.

[wind hazel]

which hard mode is that

[muted crescent]

W8 & 9

[wind hazel]

yeh just swap london to Uni's fleet

let neptune do the tanking for boss

[muted crescent]

I guess I swap her for San Diego

Z23 can off-tank

[wind hazel]

[muted crescent]

acc nvm San Diego goes off-tank bruh 💀

[wind hazel]

you're still unable to do it anyway

you are missing BC lol

[muted crescent]

eh I have Hu’an Chang

And besides I’m doing 1 fleet anyway and letting it run out of ammo all the way

[hollow sail]

london shouldn't tank in this fleet, she's literally the squishiest. london-class are all squishy

[stark quiver]

maybe deleting portland wasnt a good idea eh

[muted crescent]

so I get 2 BBs, Unicorn, London, Z23 and Nep (I can’t even have Sandy in there)

[muted crescent]

genuinely got pretty far without her 💀
I wonder how

[stark quiver]

becuase campaign is too easy

[muted crescent]

and also I have an MLB Otto I can just power level so so far I didn’t need anything to tank with 😭

[hollow sail]

you need portland because of the missions that require you to retrofit her

[stark quiver]

they changed it ren

[wind hazel]

yeah just run this, fill 2nd fleet with bullshit

[hollow sail]

oh not part of the missions any more?

[muted crescent]

They changed that shit. Not needed anymore

[hollow sail]

i like that

[gaunt mauve]

I buy this package can I get the character?(newbie)

[stark quiver]

nah, theres like new stuff

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Ty_102/Sandbox

[wind hazel]

no agir, only for PR

[sweet delta]

i would have expected a level 116 nagato to be better than 88 howe

[wind hazel]

anchorage, avp, or mp

[muted crescent]

oh right I keep forgetting I can’t just run 1 fleet and expect to be fine, I need ACV there

[stark quiver]

acv not a concern for 8 and 9

[sweet delta]

That's for season 5, not 4 by the way

[gaunt mauve]

That?

[muted crescent]

Was leveling Howe, Helena, Ayanami and etc with that fleet 💀

[wind hazel]

she's also a DR. the tickets are for the PR ships only

Anchorage is probably the most valuable purchase for a newbie, maybe

but i'd rather buy lv70 pack than PR ticket

[stark quiver]

id buy both

[gaunt mauve]

Why:-:?

[wind hazel]

so that you aren't commander level gated in campaign

[late flame]

tbh pr packs is just an expensive way to timeskip
(as a person who bought pr1-3 and didnt need it from pr4 onwards)

[wind hazel]

if you are loaded feel free to buy the tickets

[stark quiver]

the test for who has the deepest wallet

[forest palm]

Fred is the only ship of value in the first 3 seasons, the PR4 ticket is so far the only solid purchase

[stark quiver]

is this normal download speed ♿

[late flame]

nice but no

[stark quiver]

weird

[muted crescent]

tbh I got carried by Nep all the way here so...

[wind hazel]

portland would have tanked the same

[forest palm]

And Anchor would dumpster the both of them

[stark quiver]

i agree, napoli wouldve been better

[forest palm]

This is about PRY tickets smh

[muted crescent]

ye but she's not shiny

[forest palm]

Well at least Portland isn't required for Rookie Missions anymore, or burning Portland would be way more awkward

[muted crescent]

well I still have 2k guild tokens 💀

[stark quiver]

2k go baibai really fast

[wind hazel]

london isn't shiny either

[muted crescent]

her retrofit makes her shiny 😭

[wind hazel]

[forest palm]

London may as well be made of paper with gold foil overlapping

[muted crescent]

💀

is this even true anymore 😭

[forest palm]

If this was 2018...

[stark quiver]

why are you using the fabled ectl guide

[muted crescent]

I used this before I was in the server

[wind hazel]

idk even back when i started i dont find her impressive post retrofit at all

[stark quiver]

london is good for like 1 thing
tech

[wind hazel]

that description fits someone like DDG or Saratoga better lol

[forest palm]

London was good is the thing the problem is this was for content 7 years ago

[muted crescent]

and she's useless at even that cuz I have double the fleet tech of literally every other faction that isn't EU at 694 😭

[stark quiver]

120 tech bonuz

[muted crescent]

World 14 is in there ☠️ idk how to feel about that

[forest palm]

ECTL is a gold mine of outdated information

[stark quiver]

i have a feeling it wasnt at its best even during its time

[forest palm]

Well the world 14 stuff should be somewhat fine

[muted crescent]

I'm reading even further into it and what am I finding 😭

[stark quiver]

well noshi is infact good for torp buffing n shit

[muted crescent]

tbf tho 10/10 would get Noshiro anyway

[forest palm]

Ya that's 2019 type shit

[muted crescent]

for w13 btw

[stark quiver]

real chads use noshiro muse for the torp memes

[forest palm]

Ya we had 13 in 19

[muted crescent]

oh

[forest palm]

EN and the old warp speed days....I remember

[muted crescent]

the real question is do I get Ayanami's aug or Sandy's 😭

[forest palm]

Sandy's easily

[muted crescent]

part of me says Sandy's cuz she's acc usable later, other part says Ayanami for the massive ahh torp dmg

[jagged path]

who can heal other than Uni, i want to know all of them

[wind hazel]

ectl filter

[stark quiver]

[wind hazel]

fuck the secondary healers i guess

[jagged path]

they the healer?

[jagged path]

ok why

[wind hazel]

there's aquila and volga too

[jagged path]

they did nothing

[jagged path]

and who are they, are they on the list?

[stark quiver]

ectl doesnt list secondary healers as healers for some funni reason
and yea
aquila and volga

[jagged path]

Volga?

[stark quiver]

volga

[wind hazel]

the list is a bit mixed. like ryuhou is considered a secondary healer too

[stark quiver]

id put zuizui as a secondary mf

[wind hazel]

but for some reason aquila and volga are not there lol

perseus unicorn klaudia are main healers, idk about painleve

[jagged path]

why just carrier

[wind hazel]

because other healers suck in comparison

like Brest can heal, but it's really tiny amount

[swift flicker]

Can I still get Nagato meta? If yea from where?

[stark quiver]

no

[stark quiver]

well if there was a good non carrier healer we'd recc her but there arent so

[jagged path]

damn

[wind hazel]

wait for her to be added to dossier

not anytime soon

[stark quiver]

the mf wiki timed out and my code didnt go thru

[storm olive]

Iirc the healer tag isn't to say "this ship is a healer" it's to say "this ship is only in this tier because of their healing"

[forest palm]

ECTL and consistency is funny, then again they'll tell you they have lives to live and can't seem to do a 5 ~ 10 minute HTML fix

[stark quiver]

then aquila and volga should be there too

[wind hazel]

this is the Healer tag

[forest palm]

there's zero reason to not include those two when Ryuuhou is there

[storm olive]

Tell that to ectl not me

[wind hazel]

but... you mentioned the tag...

[storm olive]

And I'm just saying what ectl say, go complain to them

[wicked obsidian]

Are any of these Meta ships any good?

[wind hazel]

not for new player

most of them are for their lv120 tech and that's about it

[wicked obsidian]

Oww...Then I guess I will take 2 Meta crystal for my Submarine....

I got no submarine... can't even complete lvl 60 of daily

[wind hazel]

you have free i-58

[wicked obsidian]

Yeah... but didn't use her at all...lvl 0 I think...
On the other hand I am 2 Meta crystal away from MLB ing (Don't remember the name. See in the photo last right corner)

........
Heard she is a Ok submarine...

[wind hazel]

sure, i guess

what i wanted to say was you don't need any top tier submarine to complete lv65 daily raid

https://youtu.be/cxC2Iy4XVfE?si=I6dOhcwa-ptExpCN

[teal cedar]

Is Dimitri Donskoi good

[wicked obsidian]

F*** ... I have been playing it wrong...
I went all the ship I see.. and died ...
Didn't even think of ignoring them

[chilly plaza]

How good is Shinano actually?

[wind hazel]

very good

still a core in IJN heavy

[strange path]

Is worth mlbing her now over traf? Or save

[chilly plaza]

So flagship IIN fleet

[cobalt robin]

depends who your other urs are now but generally you shouldn't use bullins for perma Urs

[strange path]

I have 0 Ur carriers

Most of my urs are bbs

[cobalt robin]

Then either save your cores or mlb traf

[cobalt rapids]

it would be easier if u would show all your URs

[cobalt robin]

Or that yes

[cobalt rapids]

including the maxed ones

[stark quiver]

how many bulins can you get

[strange path]

4

[stark quiver]

get the handbook done overtime > get a shinano copy from the invite letter
ryza rerun this following week, so youll get some pts for pity if you decide to pull

id Mlb trafalgar
saving is also an option incase the devs throw us a curveball and do double UR for september

[strange path]

My shinano was the one from handbook

I did not know traf was good like that

[cobalt robin]

Either way alpa's suggestion still stands

[stark quiver]

oh, well at this point id still do trafalgar
seeing as you probs cant get hakuryuu

there are good enough non UR cv options right now for campaign
and it seems your main bossing fleets will be BBs for the time being, buffing them even more will be good
dont use bulins on NJ, get fdg up asap

[cobalt robin]

has the double ur ever happened?

[stark quiver]

hm? double UR event?
one shop, one gacha

[cobalt robin]

Oh yea forgor Lion was like that

[stark quiver]

it hasnt happened for JP anni tho, hence the curveball

[cobalt robin]

I don't like curveballs 😔

[reef flume]

Now that I mlbed Zwei and got her to 125 should I do Trafalgar o Z52? Which one has the highest prio?

[dreamy blade]

depends what other URs you have (but probably z52)

[reef flume]

Rumey
Trafalgar
Raffaello

[dreamy blade]

so zwei is your only mlb UR?

[dreamy blade]

yeah either z52 or fritz then

i'd probably do z52 first just bc shes so universal

[gaunt mauve]

I'm using Kiev so should I change it to Roon?

[wind hazel]

if im being honest, neither

[gaunt mauve]

My team

[low agate]

Should I put my rikka as an off tank or middle? Other vanguard is laffey ii and yuudachi. For mob fleet

[wind hazel]

yes, remove both emden and kiev. put your starter DD and helena

or a leveled up Portland+helena

[whole vault]

Does anyone know how to trigger heartbeat mode in the 3d dormitory?

[wind hazel]

what is that

[whole vault]

I have seen some furniture have this, or something similar

I will pass a screenshot later

[wind hazel]

maybe the peeps in #al-general know better, lots of whale waifu collector there

[gaunt mauve]

Portland that good?? . helena needs rf so it costs more resources than emden even though both offer tier

[boreal wagon]

idt there was something specific that you needed to do, it should just automatically start when u press interact on that furni
but some exclusive furni says special stuff for heartbeat mode without even having heartbeat mode so dont be mislead

[wind hazel]

portland is a cheap good tank that will last you until ch13, and there is no other ship that give bigger buff than Helena in the game. don't rely on tier list, it often doesn't paint the whole picture

most importantly, this is garbage

this is very good

portland, helena, your starter DD all use purple bulins, so they are very cost effective to raise

emden, while is a good ship, eats gold bulin, which is scarce. it's harder to raise her in the short term, and you will be dragging a 0LB ship in campaign pushing as a result, which is bad

[gaunt mauve]

:)) emden 6star ( oldpic sr)

[narrow kiln]

Which zone in OpSi gives better rewards for Gear Lab: Stronghold or Abyssal?

[wind hazel]

:)) dont use old picture

point still stand for roon and kiev

[gaunt mauve]

:)) srsr bro

[wind hazel]

why choose, do both

[narrow kiln]

And if I choose
What should you do first?

[crimson glacier]

doesnt matter

[wind hazel]

stronghold because you can cheese it

[crimson glacier]

opsi is just slow grind, you are just meant to do everything

[gaunt mauve]

New

[wind hazel]

remove Kiev

use a proper tank, sooner or later sandy wont be able to tank for the team

[gaunt mauve]

who replaces kiev

[wind hazel]

.

[narrow kiln]

Hmm...
Why only SR?

[gaunt mauve]

I'm about to have roon so I'm planning to wait and replace Kiev

That good?

[wind hazel]

no....

[split gazelle]

Why wouldn't you use portland?

[wind hazel]

idk how many times i need to repeat myself at this point

[narrow kiln]

I guess I could only say that Mori clearly has enough experience to give advice. Portland is not a bad tank, but it would be hard for me to say otherwise because I'm still a newbie.

[wind hazel]

idk what the hell are you saying either

[gaunt mauve]

Idk that (newbie)

[tropic tusk]

Just cause U got roon U still need to dev 30 her inorder to use her (which will take a while) so before that just stay with portland

[narrow kiln]

...
Well, then it’s better to pretend that I kept quiet.

[whole crypt]

Portland is not that cheap if you include retrofit but still cheaper and easier to get around than any tank better than her

[gaunt mauve]

Roon not roon u

[whole crypt]

Helena also does not need her retrofit for most part

[tropic tusk]

@gaunt mauve

[wind hazel]

yes, it's the same thing

roon comes at dev1, which is essentially 0LB, still useless. same as RoonU

[whole crypt]

Roon Muse will actually be more useful immediately if you can LB her (don't) unless you can throw some 1mil plus coins at Roon immediately

[tropic tusk]

When U first obtain a ship they will always be lb0 which is useless

[gaunt mauve]

ಠ_ಠoh, i see

[tropic tusk]

This game is unlike other games where U obtain and instantly useable. Limit Break in this game isn't hard most of the time are easy ,only hard time are UR and research ships

[gaunt mauve]

Lb? :))

[whole crypt]

limit break

[gaunt mauve]

Oh ok

[whole crypt]

most ships are junk without LB, but AL doesn't need you to pull dupes to do it like most gachas

[gaunt mauve]

is there anything good in here?

I have 343 prints roon so how many stars

[eternal basalt]

MLB, FS0

[tropic tusk]

Dude it's on the picture 343=dev 30 which is max limit break

[rapid grail]

dev30 roon
can add 165 more prints for fatesim 5

[tropic tusk]

Now U need another 165 for fate 5

[polar lion]

Is Spite good now?

[tropic tusk]

Whts that

[wind hazel]

bottom UR level

[tropic tusk]

Warsprite?

[rapid grail]

yea she's an actual UR now. pretty great for someone so accessible since erly game
also her augment is craftable

[woven star]

she's the most expensive and worst UR ship in the game. so yeah in some sense it's a premium ship

with augm for pvp but as I know even there ppl move on from her

[whole crypt]

tea party too volatile

[eternal basalt]

QE retro makes her strong again

[plain saffron]

Is she still worst after augment?

[whole crypt]

she's just actully a rainbow now yes but still questionable vs modern lineup for the cost

she's especially awful for early game being a resource sink

[hollow gust]

If warspite is worst rainbow does that make shima and Ulrich

[whole crypt]

neither are part of the "modern" lineup anyway and low priority for pity

[eternal basalt]

Vanguard has much less competition, and they offer cross for that

[hollow gust]

Shima loses to SRs , that's quite some competition.

[whole crypt]

VG scales with stronger ships so she doesn't get sent straight to the shitter

[woven star]

Ulrich - tech rld, shima - some x-fleet... feel like warspt something near them

[hollow gust]

Why the fk would anyone especially newbies prioritize crossfleet? Also spite is literally ACC tech

[polar lion]

Who else better than Shima other than Ibuki?

[woven star]

acc you can get without refit. are talk about wrspt in general or about refit sense?

[polar lion]

Shima still top vs heavy?

[hollow gust]

You will realize how irrelevant dps vanguards other than the top 2 are in the meta. And there isn't mentioning Shima has literally nothing else going for her. Much rather bring in utility ships

[woven star]

shima maybe 4-6th pick up choice from perma

[hollow gust]

She is last pick

[tropic tusk]

But isn't warsprite t0 in PvP ? If so y bad

[tame jungle]

you may or may not know this but pvp is not pve

[hollow gust]

Ulrich and Kron cross fleet is more valuable then shima

[rapid grail]

that is a question best asked in #pvp
also can just read but alas EN is incapable of such simple thought

[hollow sail]

he was referring to her +2 acc tech stat bonus from reaching level 120

[tropic tusk]

But the man didn't say for wt

[tame jungle]

you're in gph, 99.5% chance the topic is pve

[tropic tusk]

#gameplay-help message all he ask was good?

[woven star]

Kron and Shima 2 ships which new players can get without event UR rotation for vanguard slot... idk how useful Ulrich in this case

[tropic tusk]

There's still 0.5 so U can't assume it's not

[tame jungle]

i can

[tropic tusk]

Then Ur wrong PvP is also a gameplay it's just they have another one to talk more deep on one of its gameplay

[tame jungle]

sure buddy

[hollow gust]

🍿

[rapid grail]

pvp is different compared to pve and vice versa
atm just focus on pve first and do whatever afterwards; especially here in #gameplay-help whic is pve focus

[tropic tusk]

And just do U know not everyone knows there is a PvP channel

[hollow sail]

[polar lion]

We got extra chips from daily raid? Since when?

[tropic tusk]

If that's the case then this should be call gameplay help for pve

[hollow sail]

the pvp channel is right below this one... you'd have to be blind to miss it

[late flame]

#pvp

[tropic tusk]

U need to check the role to see it

[hollow sail]

what role

[late flame]

id:customize

[woven star]

i think you just hide some tabs in discord. there'r no roles for pvp

"need help with PVP"? I don't check and still see pvp tab

[late flame]

i did uncheck it and it became hidden (screenshot is before i clicked on it)
edit : this is on PC

[hollow sail]

interesting, because i have everything unchecked and still see it

[late flame]

mobile may work different

[hollow sail]

i'm on PC

[late flame]

or different browser lol (firefox)

[wind hazel]

go on browse channel, untick it

[rapid grail]

[hollow sail]

that hides it as expected. but i don't remember having to tick it to begin with

[boreal wagon]

this has nothing to do with roles. When you join a server the survey determines what channels you can see and cant see, but you can manually add the channel to your list even if you untick it by just going to browse channels and ticking it, or alternatively by just visiting the channel. If you skip the survey you also get ALL channels.

[wind hazel]

that's a sign, pvp is in everyone

[tropic tusk]

On default PvP is unchecked

[low agate]

Haven't played in a while is rikka still good vs mobs with the initial laser?

[whole crypt]

depends on where you're using, it's not like she's gotten worse it's just we have better ships since

[low agate]

Is guam top tier?

I can mlb her but idk if I should save the bulin to mlb another UR

[tropic tusk]

if shes being use in w15 does that count as top?

[whole crypt]

she's very good but don't know if you have a higher priority UR

[low agate]

It's not worth using bulins on NJ right? If no I'll mlb shinano after guam

[whole crypt]

are those the only URs you have to LB now

[tropic tusk]

how about show all ur URs 0lb +mlb

[undone plover]

It is just more efficient to save bulins for new and rerun URs
This way u can use the perma pity to get dupes and LB perma URs

[low agate]

Yes I haven't played in a long time missed out on a lot of stuff

[warped acorn]

what faction is saint louis

[hollow sail]

guam is mainly used in W15 elsewhere she's not quite as prevalent

[rapid grail]

st. - american
saint - french, iris libre

[warped acorn]

hmm i just got her wonder just dust her or what

[tropic tusk]

can u even retire a research ship?

[warped acorn]

prob ignore it forever let it remain dusted

[tropic tusk]

oh dust as in let her sit and never be touched

[warped acorn]

yea

[tropic tusk]

mb i thought ur dust means kill her

[rapid grail]

[hollow sail]

true, though i'm of the opinion that MLBing shinano quick isn't that bad since she's still really relevant. if someone wants to make use of her power without having to wait a lot of time i wouldn't blame them

[undone plover]

Yeah shinano and vangaurd are the only 2 I would consider using bulins on atm
Maybe sushi too when she gets added

[rapid grail]

she's a good gun ca, with relevance against light armor. gets beaten by the DDGs in that department so w/e. doesn't rly hurt to raise her regardless

also can give xp to brest if you wanna get her in the long term. do use her on cdc2 xp farm

[rapid grail]

nah sushi is dead; just raise CVs at that point

[undone plover]

She is still a top BB vs heavy and in campaign

[rapid grail]

also the cooking for late campaign fleets is any UR BB (except warkai) + 2 CV/Ls

[undone plover]

I wouldnt say she is dead
~~also maybe JP anni releases her sister and she gets indirectly buffed ~~

[warped acorn]

damn

[whole crypt]

Musashi is far from dead

[woven star]

sinano can be get from rookie rewards now. so at least +1 copy her from there

[low agate]

Is chang Chun still used?

[woven star]

not sure is it worth to retro unless you have already retro item and free coins

[undone plover]

All ddg are still used like they were before
But fu shun/TY are used more these days I believe

[tawny cradle]

Yo chat, is there anyway to get IJN ships faster? Me keep getting USS ships

[low agate]

What about yuudachi retrofit

[cobalt rapids]

no

[undone plover]

War archives
Medal shop
Guild shop
All these can have some IJN points
September event and unzen rerun after should also give a lot of IJN points

[woven star]

big number of torp stats for requirements map

[whole crypt]

DDGs aren't super high priority if you lack gear and retrofit item

[low agate]

Possible to do w13 with constellation flagship as boss fleet?

[woven star]

from retro - unicorn, sanD, helena... if just begin playing - nelson, if have retro item - eldridge

ah portland

[low agate]

Laffey ii and guam should have enough AA for w13 I think

[woven star]

every other more like optional

[whole crypt]

sandy retrofit not that high priority because of cost, just give her aug and cope

unicorn first then portland for tank

[tawny cradle]

IJN points?

Me need 15 more IJN ships

[undone plover]

I thought u wanted the ships for the faction points

[woven star]

I think he has already them. I just say in general what to retro... answer for question about warspite and yuudachy

[undone plover]

Well my advise still stands
U can get more ships in those shops or future events

[whole crypt]

why do you need specifically 15 IJN ships

[tawny cradle]

Ibuki

[tawny cradle]

Kk

[whole crypt]

you don't just need 15 ships you need vanguards specifically

if you don't have the ships just come back to her later

[rapid grail]

in fact there's also good USS botes like Anchorage to get

PR4 coinable so no worries about getting prints

[novel solstice]

You can also get some from main campaign map drops.
I wouldn't recommend going back and farming easy levels, but if the top world you can reach drops any you don't have, figure out which map and try to get lucky.

[tawny cradle]

But my main fleet also count

[tawny cradle]

Then why my main fleet counts?

[viscid swift]

They don't

You're probably confusing what's a main fleet and what's a vanguard

[tawny cradle]

No vro

I have 5 ijn ships and 5 is counted

[crimson glacier]

how do you know

[viscid swift]

Prove it then, what Sakura empire ships do you have

[tawny cradle]

Me look at docks

[narrow kiln]

I have a question. How does FP work on ships with guns and without basic FP?
And also, how do ships with FP stat work without guns?

[tawny cradle]

Shinano, shoukaku, i-58, amagi, and hiei

[viscid swift]

Have you retired any Sakura empire ships

[split gazelle]

probably used common sakura empire ships for enhancement

[boreal wagon]

there is no difference to what FP means

FP is just used to scale gun damage and some barrages use FP

[tawny cradle]

No

[split gazelle]

just proving that only vanguard ships count

[whole crypt]

if you want to be sure go to ship list in memories/archives

but main fleet ships should not count for Ibuki regardless

[narrow kiln]

Will extremely low FP negatively impact damage?
(the Sakura Empire has some really fun ships)

[boreal wagon]

FP can only increase your damage (since 0 FP just means base damage)
(but do note it only increase damage that actually scales with FP, if the ship had none for whatever reason it just does nothing)

[tawny cradle]

Oki

[narrow kiln]

thanks

[cobalt robin]

Does tai yuan need seal of the four gods to be good?

[whole crypt]

bottom line you need missile. s4g good but DDGs still decent without it

[cobalt robin]

Don't have any missiles 😔

Is the sy1 missile good?

[whole crypt]

there's only 2 missiles and sy1 is the only one regularly available

sy1a has only been from events so far

[cobalt robin]

I can get either the seal or missile for now

[whole crypt]

missile first

[cobalt robin]

Alright

[tropic tusk]

Wait so according to stream it shows 2&3 how about 1?

[muted crescent]

Check your collection, sort by CLs, DDs, CAs and CBs

[bleak skiff]

Who should I mlb with my bulins?

[muted crescent]

personally I would MLB Unzen with that

[bleak skiff]

whats she good for?

Will there be another ur soon?

[muted crescent]

Another UR will be out soon (next month I think)

[bleak skiff]

so should I save them or use them on unzen

[muted crescent]

Straight up a DPS vanguard

[muted crescent]

personally save for now

[whole crypt]

next new UR should be JP anniv in Sep

[bleak skiff]

These are my two fleets for clearing story rn

[muted crescent]

I’m not exactly the best person to ask 😭

[muted crescent]

isn’t there also a rerun in Aug?

[bleak skiff]

of who tho?

[whole crypt]

rerun should be nov

[viscid swift]

no

[muted crescent]

oh, so what’s in Aug?

[whole crypt]

personally I'd LB Vanguard first

[viscid swift]

EN Anni

[whole crypt]

EN anniv, probably another "normal" event

[muted crescent]

ah ok

fair enough

[bleak skiff]

if there is someone I do mlb who would they replace in my two fleets

[whole crypt]

your fleets are already plenty for ch12 and that's where you'll be doing most of your grinding anyway

[bleak skiff]

so save?

its 4 ur bulins to mlb so I have to wait 4 months basically for another mlb ur

[tropic tusk]

2 month now each month u earn 8k now

[polar lion]

SY-1 or SY-1A better?

[whole crypt]

there's time to get enough bulins by JP anniv, I'd probably go with Vanguard

[whole crypt]

SY1A is better by a bit but it's limited

[polar lion]

Aight smh I hab 2

[tropic tusk]

wt is sy1 and sy2

[charred grove]

Guys, since I've returned a couple days ago, I have SO MUCH oil.
I'm trying to farm 9-1 but I only barely have two fleets, and that "morale" stuff is holding me back.

I'm trying to burn that oil but unable to.

There's nore oil in rewards and stuff too

[whole crypt]

sy1 is the missile, there's no sy2

[whole crypt]

buy curry in dorm

[charred grove]

Curry? Is that food that boosts ships' morale?
Problem is: I only have 1F-3 spots in dorm right now

[whole crypt]

food has nothing to do with morale it just increases XP for ships in 1st floor
it's the only realistic way to spend off large amounts of oil quickly that's not a complete waste

[tropic tusk]

wait i read wrong sy1 and sy1a

i assume they both missile at this point?

[charred grove]

Ooooh I see it see. Thank you so much!!!

[narrow kiln]

What can you say about Emden?

[whole crypt]

decent somewhat gimmicky CL

[narrow kiln]

Will it be more useful than the Z23 retrofit?
(in theory)

[tropic tusk]

y mean comapre with edmen?

[narrow kiln]

Yes.

[tropic tusk]

thats a cl ship

z23 is a dd

[wind hazel]

yes emden>z23 not even a question

[polar flint]

whats a good way to grind prototype bulins?

just soley off proto shop?

[ripe pumice]

Where does emden scale in general?

[tropic tusk]

which one

[polar flint]

erm gold?

[silk helm]

just spend oil to fill ap in opsi. way better than curry

[whole crypt]

AP is sus

[tropic tusk]

well theres pvp , medal so for medal u just play and retire ships from blue and up .
pvp win and higher rank = more pvp points

[whole crypt]

it's only useful if you actually spend all of it

[polar lion]

Wait do we hab stream?

[soft raft]

Fairly decent DPS CL for a SR
easily replaceable later down the line, esp when she doesnt have the capability of using a AA gun at all

[polar flint]

alr ic, thanks

[soft raft]

you cant really grind bullins
you just slowly get them from doing stuff like weekly missions and you can occasionally get some from merit and medal shop

[novel solstice]

You can also get a gold bulin every week from weekly missions, so do those (should happen without effort if you play constantly), from the daily login if you play regularly, and from events. Which doesn't let you grind out lots of them, but it's a steady income.

[empty bloom]

Is she any good? I just really like one of her skins

[novel solstice]

As a new player, it's pretty easy to get a lot more gold ships than you are getting bulins for, but at some point the flow of new gold ships for you is going to slow down (once you have most of them that can be built...) at which point you will slowly start to clear your backlog because new event ships will come in more slowly than your gold bulin income.

[soft raft]

Nope

[empty bloom]

Unlucky

[polar flint]

alright, got it

[novel solstice]

She is not particularly good, but she doesn't need to be good to sit in your secretary slot and show off her swimsuit!

[polar flint]

thanks for the tips peoples

[empty bloom]

You’re so right

[soft raft]

purple rarity ship moment

[polar flint]

oh last question, shinano or new jersey?

[soft raft]

In the long run Shinano is better

[tropic tusk]

nano . nj is more of if u dont have other bb then sure

MEOWFFICER QUICK GUIDE

What are Meowfficers?
They are companions that you can add up to 2 per fleet (including sub fleets). They buff your fleets with their "skills" and "talents". There are 27 different types of them.

How do I get them?
You get them by opening Cat Boxes in the Cattery. The Cattery can be found under HQ > Cat Lodge. The first Cat Box you buy everyday is free. You can buy up to 14 more per day, with each costing 1500 Gold. It is strongly recommended you do NOT binge on them!

How do I level them?
Just like ships, they gain experience when sortied. They do not cost oil, however their exp gain is dependent on the oil spent by the fleet. They max out at level 30. You can also level them by feeding other meowfficers to them, at about 30% exp loss (20% bonus if identical). Additionally they can gain levels passively through Comf-Forts.

What are talents?
Talents buff a specific ship type or faction. They get 1-3 permanent talents, depending on rarity.. Every 5 levels they gain, they get a Cat Paw which can be used to roll new talents or raise the level of some talents. You can reroll any new talents once every 24h with gold (increases with number of talents).

What are skills?
Skills are unique to each type of Meowfficer. They usually give some stat buff or some perk to the fleet. They get 1 skill initially, and they can get up to 3 skills, each obtained by feeding duplicates (1 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd). The potency of the skills is dependent on their stats which increase through levels.
Do note that the skill stat buffs are mostly inferior to talent stat buffs.

Visit the AL Wiki Page on Meowfficers for more details.
Cat Guide by Riceist#3504 for detailed explanation of skills and talents.

if you consistently spend out your oil later on you will catch up with spending food
the problem with pumping in your AP now is you also lose regen over cap possibly for days while you burn it if you're not doing it quickly

[forest palm]

"furry chan"

[soft raft]

lol

[wind hazel]

fitting name

[forest palm]

I mean if you're going to slam the AP down you get from oil immediately it shouldn't be that much a loss, but sitting on it is a different matter

[whole crypt]

yes, but you're assuming the player actually spends the AP down

[wind hazel]

if you got time to do opsi, why not just use the oil to grind campaign

[cobalt robin]

I skipped the concealment tutorial, where can I find it again

[whole crypt]

morale

[wind hazel]

just swap ship

[wind hazel]

/concealment
fuck

[whole crypt]

regardless AP is fairly poor conversion, most players aren't that dedicated with OS

[eternal basalt]

In the help menu, on pause

[cobalt robin]

thanks

[eager mulch]

this guy messed up the command

[forest palm]

also Lenja is just another Felicia clone

[eager mulch]

everyone point and laugh

[wind hazel]

/detection

[cobalt robin]

Lol

[eager mulch]

this guy messed up the command x2

[wind hazel]

emote fucked it up

[eager mulch]

excuses smh my head

[cobalt robin]

I already found it it's fine

[wind hazel]

[sharp comet]

helo mori

[eager mulch]

not my goat

[cobalt robin]

[forest palm]

Dunk Meta?

demon donut is silly

[whole crypt]

saucy monty skin to go with it I'm not complaining
what tech was dunk again?

[viscid swift]

BC EVA

[whole crypt]

so 🚮

[eternal basalt]

It's free, not even a slot... and elite soooo...

[whole crypt]

well I'm going to level her anyway and elite skills are easy

[forest palm]

being free doesn't excuse shit tech

[tropic tusk]

for the upcoming collab they show 2 &3 how about 1?

[eternal basalt]

Orignal was 2 & 3

[tropic tusk]

oh so no 1?

[warped acorn]

what shipgirl does bisko support dmg looks like

[eternal basalt]

New collab is 1 & 2

[viscid swift]

why would there be a 1, all the characters in 1 are in 2 and 3

[tropic tusk]

oh... sorry i dont know that game at all

[soft raft]

what

[eternal basalt]

5 chars from 2, only 1 from 3... now finally with skin

[warped acorn]

the support barrage
it looks like fdg or uvh or smt

[soft raft]

If you mean their needle barrage, no
it's more like Musashi's thunderstrikes

[warped acorn]

oh

took me so many matches to notice her barrage looks like that

[woven star]

Isla seems have some kind debuff. Interesting which one but usually slow. So when new ships will be?

[soft raft]

probably this week at the usual time

[cobalt robin]

why does ddg missile also need general plates man 💔💔💔

[forest palm]

I remember when they were TRP Plates, never forget what they took away

[cobalt robin]

would've been better cause I have no general plates 😔😔

[eternal basalt]

New event is this Thursday

[rapid grail]

no event gear this time around? only saw the augments and the gear skins

[woven star]

Good. Have some cubs for ssr. Thinking get some ships. At least bb for collection

[eternal basalt]

There are event gears

Oh, equipment? None shown

[rapid grail]

any imgs to confirm? not a big fan of going to whatever strim discussion channels

[cobalt robin]

Gonna spend all my cubes

[tropic tusk]

all should be only aug no eqip? i think

[viscid swift]

not like they necessarily reveal everything during the stream

just wait for the patch notes/datamine

[eternal basalt]

Didn't even show any new maps, if any

[rapid grail]

fair enough, also didn't see the Ryza collab gears during their strim either. So won't rly bother much until the datamine

[cobalt robin]

Independence would prefer boss fleet right?

[rapid grail]

[viscid swift]

I mean they're rerunning the event, would be strange for the gear not to be there

[whole crypt]

she's usually used for mob

[cobalt robin]

Damn

[whole crypt]

yumia will be its own event + stages
ryza rerun will be separate and starts 2 days later

[rapid grail]

No? Mobbing fleets she goes.

Her fast rld + desynced airstrike + good kit makes her good for mobbing. She's basically a tutorial on desyncing not just airstrikes, but major damage sources from shelling and airstrikes to hit different waves of enemies in a mob node (her + another 20-22s BB/CV)

[cobalt robin]

Mob it is then

[rapid grail]

Desync is good for mobbing, basically. Especially for late campaign

You can start to enjoy that as soon as you slot Independence Retrofit in your fleets

[wind hazel]

[manic spear]

How can I remove starter ship from team it says it’s a special vanguard

[cobalt robin]

Add someone else, you can't remove the only ship from fleet 1

This alright do far? (Don't mind the lvl 1 skills, I got her today)

[tropic tusk]

yea seems fine

i mean if thats all u have sure

[cobalt robin]

I got a wyvern but that's on uni and enty has my flapjack

beracuda is the only other parallel tb I have

[forest palm]

Barracuda for as basic as it is, still holds up when you lack gear

could look into getting a Breguet if you have your Core Data shop priorities settled

[cobalt robin]

I'll get the seal of the 4 gods next but could get it afterwards

[woven star]

Barracuda best mobing parallel planes. Breguet more premium cos faster launch and little better damage

[warped acorn]

so wyvern is for bossing

[soft raft]

where did you get that conclusion from 💀

[warped acorn]

brain

[cobalt robin]

what's that?

[woven star]

Wyvern best medium armor tb planes

[soft raft]

Wyvern is overall the best mobbing TB, fym medium

[woven star]

They much slower. So as you wish

[warped acorn]

so whats the conclusion

[soft raft]

???

[cobalt robin]

I was also told wyvern is best mobbing tb

[soft raft]

Wyvern pog for campaign as a whole and OpSi mobbing
idk what the fuck Voltic is smoking

[cobalt robin]

I need some of that zaza

[manic spear]

i have other ships though

[cobalt robin]

Main and vanguard both need 1 ship in fleet 1

[manic spear]

oh ok

[charred grove]

guys is there a guide for OPSI?

[whole crypt]

follow icons on the map
clear everything

[silk helm]

if u have a lot of ap farm c5

[cobalt robin]

Do the story first (at least till you've cleared chapter 4) it's the red !

[charred grove]

What?

[whole crypt]

if you didn't understand any of that, do what I said

[cobalt robin]

Just follow the red mark on the map

[whole crypt]

also please avoid posting memes here

unrelated gifs are certainly not welcomed

[charred grove]

I'm at 9-1. And I used to enjoy OPSI a couple years ago before I quit. I remember nothing lol.

[charred grove]

I dunno why, but sure

[cobalt robin]

Channel rules

[whole crypt]

clear everything that has an icon on the world map
if there's nothing with an icon you're either stuck at the end of a chapter that asks you to clear more zones, or you are just done clearing out the map for the month

[charred grove]

Oh alright

[silk helm]

if u need fleet help, just create a thread. lots of helpful ppl here like cheeky, suchi, and nntktt

[whole crypt]

I pretend to be helpful

[jaunty vault]

can confirm nntkppt is a pretender

[eager mulch]

agree

[cobalt robin]

Bro forgot the goat mori

[strong tangle]

anyone have that opsi gear chart?

[cobalt robin]

/gearlab

[knotty dome]

what are the rules for morning commissions? i always get 4 overnight commissions but this morning only 1 commission so wondering how it works

[whole crypt]

basically up to 4 of your "normal" comms get carried over on day change, and will be removed midday the following day

if you were running any of them across the daily reset there won't be anything after reset on that slot

[exotic jolt]

Is this gun suitable for Ägir?

[soft raft]

It doesnt meet her caliber requirement so no

[wind hazel]

give her CB gun

[whole crypt]

she kind of just wants her gun from PR4 research

[sweet delta]

It's suitable if you're fighting light boss and still need her to be that much tankier

[strange path]

What guns for traf? I also have the blue aa gun

[sweet delta]

The blue single 76mm

[exotic jolt]

I'll replace it with this

[sweet delta]

Yes but I recommend not using gold plates on random guns and not split to a bunch of +11 and +12

[exotic jolt]

oh thanks for advice

[jade sable]

Is this bis for agir?

[sweet delta]

No

[jade sable]

What’s is then

[exotic jolt]

ur guam weapon i think

[sweet delta]

Against medium, heavy, or mobs, it's the rainbow Guam gun

[jade sable]

Is that the triple 305 mk8?

Ok ty

And torps don’t really matter for her right?

[exotic jolt]

this one is good

[sweet delta]

They somewhat matter in bossing, but you can just put a purple triple 533 acoustic forever

[icy sphinx]

Good thing to know

[jade sable]

I think I have the ib quad mag on her

[icy sphinx]

?

[sweet delta]

Triple mag is better with BBs, which is where she's usually used

[inland shoal]

It also helps that basically no one else wants the triple mags while the quad mags are more desirable

[jade sable]

Iron blood quadruple magnetic ?

[inland shoal]

Literally this

[icy sphinx]

Oh torps

[inland shoal]

Or its upgraded form
But again just put the triple version on Ägir

[sweet delta]

[icy sphinx]

True

[jade sable]

Also do I pair agir with other slowing ships? Like AVP or can she slow enough on her own

[sweet delta]

Not particularly, and no

AvP is a freeze already good enough for 3 CV

But aegir on her own is also highly inconsistent

[icy sphinx]

I will do that too

[jade sable]

What’s a recommended comp for her then?

[sweet delta]

You use aegir mainly for her tankiness and armor break and a bit of slowing

[wind hazel]

tank for your bb fleet

[jade sable]

So agir damage damage? And don’t add a second slower?

[sweet delta]

Idk what vanguard ships you have maxed, but aegir is kinda power crept from the top meta now, so it's hard to answer

[jade sable]

Is it alright to post dock screenshots?

[sweet delta]

Always has been ok to post dock pics to ask for help

[jade sable]

All my others high levels are kinda just waifu ships

[sweet delta]

Yes you just shove aegir in the opsi BB boss fleet with triple mag torps

In campaign, you may use her as boss tank up to chapter 14

Guam is better for campaign though

[jade sable]

Also is there a best stage for oil-> exp and oil-> gold efficiency? Or is highest possible always better

[whole crypt]

best XP/oil is 11-1 but usually grinding will be in ch12
highest coin/oil is around 13-4 or 14-4, usually 13-4 is done because it's much easier and faster

[sweet delta]

https://suchiguma.github.io/deepresearch/auto-search-exp-and-coins/

[silk helm]

i just saw a good youtube video on efficiency actually

[cobalt robin]

What will this do?

[vale spindle]

change them from DDG (vanguard) to DDG (main fleet), its a toggle so you can swap back and forth

[whole crypt]

If you know 13-1 then you know.

[sweet delta]

Put her in main fleet mode

[cobalt robin]

The hell

is that even viable?

[wind hazel]

it's garbage, only useful for leveling lol

[sweet delta]

For one use case, which is coalition EX high scoring

[cobalt robin]

I might use that for leveling

[whole crypt]

I wouldn't even use it for leveling
it's mostly for low cost memes

[sweet delta]

I would

[grizzled wave]

should i put single 113 on sandy?

[sweet delta]

No

[wind hazel]

twin100 kai

[cobalt robin]

Well her and independence are the only ships I'm leveling rn and I need ib exp for Felix so why not

[whole crypt]

I mean it's an option if you're doing DDGs with few to no main fleet ships to work on

[grizzled wave]

who requires single 113 besides z52

[sweet delta]

Or planning for the eventual situation in which you have few to no main fleet ships to work on

[wind hazel]

traf, kazagumo...

[whole crypt]

too late

[fallow dove]

Anyone know if I'm delusional, went to scrap some 13+ upgraded gear and saw in the preview window that Id only get back 30 of the 120 goldplates used to upgrade it. I was a little surprised because I thought in the past that when you disassembled gear upgraded past 10+ you got all your goldplates back. Is this a change that was made or am I remembering incorrectly?
