[undone zinc]

I should go to sleep

[oblique canyon]

So Mecklenburg and UR gear it sounds like, thank you

[slender inlet]

Is mecklenburg really that good

[tawdry halo]

hi chat, what's the most efficient stage to farm in w12

[forest palm]

1 for xp, 4 for more coin

[sweet delta]

12-1 has 3% more exp and 7% more chips but 10% fewer coins compared to 12-4, per oil. It is extremely easy to level weak ships in 12-1.

[hardy creek]

What's the cheapest event team in terms of oil usage?

[sweet delta]

The event has the lowest oil cap ever, you're not going to beat 20 oil by much

[exotic wren]

what are these neutralizers for?

[rain vine]

substitutes for crafting materials obtained from map drop, can also submit 15 of a neutralizer for event coins (you have to check the event section of missions)

[crystal vortex]

Is this perfect for the gear?

[stark quiver]

Probably the worst gear for her

Other than the sword and staag
Not to mention she’s not even dev 30

[rain vine]

catapult isnt worth it

[crystal vortex]

It's too hard to get the blueprint

[stark quiver]

The only situation you’d realistically use her in is
Light armor bosses alongside with yorktown2
Her usual load out is
Mk7, hvar hellcat, staag/twin76, UR fire control radar, white shell

[crystal vortex]

UR fire control I don't have

[hardy creek]

Hwah jah and Chen Hai worth retrofitting? My max cvs rn are Unicorn, shinano, volga, Lexington, enterprise, saratoga and Jade

[stark quiver]

Gold fire control radar

[stark quiver]

Hwah jah is good chapter 15 support fleet ship
Bad everywhere else

[hardy creek]

How about Chen hai?

[crystal vortex]

Ok

[wind hazel]

same, but not as good as hwah jah

[hardy creek]

Aight

[oblique canyon]

I can still gain PR exp on 125, 3m exp ships right? Up to a limit?

[verbal plinth]

yes

you can get xp from 125's

[rapid moth]

And the limit is the amount the PR ship needs.

[oblique canyon]

Got it, that makes things easy thank you

[crystal vortex]

Like this

For the MK7 main gun, I still lack materials so I use what I have.

[wind hazel]

use the mk2, and change her augment. no hvar?

[crystal vortex]

Still lacking a blueprint for hvar

[wind hazel]

just dont use kearsarge then

[crystal vortex]

Augment sword

Okay

[wind hazel]

you're not gonna get any good mileage out of non dev30, no hvar kearsarge

better off looking at alternatives

[crystal vortex]

I'm working on it but it's taking a long time

[wind hazel]

it won't work until hvar gets archived

[crystal vortex]

[warped acorn]

what's a hvar

[wind hazel]

/wiki hvar hellcat

[odd root]

No wiki pages found.

[wind hazel]

this wiki doesnt like me

[wind hazel]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Grumman_F6F_Hellcat_(HVAR-Mounted)

[warped acorn]

oh it's a plane

[crystal vortex]

My blueprint still 10

[crystal vortex]

Yeah

[crystal vortex]

I can't access

@wind hazel Then how about the STAAG that I use? Does it need to be replaced again or is it suitable?

[wind hazel]

it's fine, UR 76 is an upgrade but staag is fine

[crystal vortex]

Damn... I need to play overtime opsi

To get all the materials

[verbal plinth]

no rush just try to clear each month

[stark quiver]

How many day left for opsi

[wind hazel]

3

[stark quiver]

[slim hinge]

Is there any use to craft neutralizers?

They don't seem to be required for any alchemy component.

[eternal basalt]

Repeatable missions for points, and 1 each is required for trophy

[rapid shard]

Hey is there a good guide for starting out? Checked pins but didn't notice anything and not wanting to make any bug mistakes early on. Played other gachas but just starting this one

[wind oxide]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[wicked obsidian]

Hay... In Ryza event ...in Geathring Mission..... It says if I have a certain item I can get More stuff....
Where do I get that item thoo?

[rapid shard]

That was exactly what I was looking for thanks. Also can I post screenshot of dock to get a idea of which units worth limit breaking for long term?

[wind oxide]

Yea you could post here or make a thread and they will sort out for you

[eternal basalt]

Click said item, can't give more on these vague directions

[rapid shard]

Limit break advice

[frigid elbow]

how does the gem coupon work exactly?
I am planning to buy Hindenburg rerun L2D skin, so does that mean it would automatically reduce the price of 1180 to 880 or it will only apply the next skin buying?

[eternal basalt]

You get 300 gems discount. If you just buy one skkin check the 300 gem costing item with Akashi, which gives a ticket

[wicked obsidian]

It's this item.... That the guide is talking about...

[robust onyx]

The coupon i think stated it is only usable for the skin event that is in effect

[eternal basalt]

I think the rerun just gives those tools automatically

[wicked obsidian]

Oh... So, it's automatically equiped

[frigid elbow]

so does that mean, I get a discount for Hindenburg bunny skin, from 1180 gems to 880 gems now?

[eternal basalt]

It should be, it's not in the alchemy, I think they streamlined it for rerun newbies

[eternal basalt]

Did you buy a previous bunny skin during event?

[robust onyx]

Hindenburg bunny skin will never be in shop it's 1 of 5 permanently removed skins

[hardy creek]

Which common units are worth investing into? Like good for event farming with low oil cost

[frigid elbow]

the last bunny skin I bought was laffey 2 when it first release, and none after that event.

[robust onyx]

Sorry for the bad news

[frigid elbow]

its literally available purchase in my phone right now

[eternal basalt]

Then you don't get the discount unless you buy a skin or the 300 gem Akashi pack

[robust onyx]

Than your lucky

[eternal basalt]

We ALL have access to her skin now

[frigid elbow]

its been reported a long while ago that they unbanned this skin

[robust onyx]

I see good

[eternal basalt]

No, it hasn't

[frigid elbow]

it has, 12 days ago in reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/1m2fm1f/psa_hindenburgs_delirious_duel_skin_is_back_up/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[eternal basalt]

Reddit is not official

[robust onyx]

Last I knew Shinano, Napoli and Hindenburg bunny skins were removed so if they reversed it good

[eternal basalt]

Even says "But as of now it was back on sale. Better get it before Google had other ideas"

[frigid elbow]

official or not, its still a source of latest information of azur lane

[atomic abyss]

Ofc it's a source
Whether it's a reliable one is a different story

[tame jungle]

so if i post the most ridiculous misinformation on reddit, it's suddenly a reliable source huh? neat

[eternal basalt]

Use your power carefully, get us Atago back

[tame jungle]

duty calls

[inland shoal]

Restart your game and possibly your emulator. If it persists try tech support ig.

[pale wasp]

Hey, all newb here, i played a year or so ago but forgot acc so im restarting, does it matter which i want from these three?

[void walrus]

Not really

All of them come from pretty much every campaign stage

[pale wasp]

Which banner should i be pulling on?

[void walrus]

Event -> Light

[pale wasp]

Any of the 2 events in paticular?

[void walrus]

Eh
Not really

Both are pretty ok

[pale wasp]

Oke ty

[tropic tusk]

The one with yumia is slightly better as she's the only decent ship

[woven star]

at least if not dropped buy Klaudia Valentz. She's not bad healer with pseudo preload

Ymia, Kala, Klaudia most notable

[red hawk]

did you even bother to take two seconds to check if it was true or did you just go "oh reddit fake news"

@tame jungle looks like you're the one spreading misinformation friend

[tame jungle]

i don't give a rat's ass so

[red hawk]

well of course you don't, youre mad you're getting called out

it's pretty normal. you made a deal about misinformation, but you were the one making stuff up because you couldn't take two seconds to self verify. This is a channel for helping people not making assumptions and opinions

for real it takes like 30 seconds for you to not look like an idiot

maybe next time, read the patch notes

[robust nymph]

was there an atago skin that got removed?

[robust nymph]

to be honest theres nothing wrong with what xilo said, i dont know why you're replying specifically to them

[inland shoal]

Was it really necessary to come back here after more than 2 hours to berate someone over sth ridiculous like this?

[tame jungle]

4 blocked messages it's all good guys

[tropic tusk]

the guy hold grudge

[red hawk]

was it really 2 hours, it was barely up above there when I opened and caught up this morning, slow chat

[eternal basalt]

And didn't even READ the original convo

[red hawk]

sorry, I woke up, opened discord, immediately saw someone crying about reddit misinformation, looked it up and called it out

sorry I didn't double check time stamps

[eternal basalt]

If anyone, ANYONE, got credible info on the banned skins, do comment. Cause YoStar said nothing, and the 2 perma skins are still gone

[jovial cosmos]

Which is better for Kearsarge? Plane or Cannon equipment?

Or just mix them

[hollow sail]

no one but devs can say how "unbanned" this skin really is, all we know is that it's available now, might not be available in the future

[cobalt rapids]

canon

[hollow sail]

the accuracy of radars/shells still helps the planes, but the catapults don't help the shelling

[jovial cosmos]

i see

[robust nymph]

was it summer march that got removed? why that out of all other "worse" skins out there lol.. its fine tho i dont wanna go off topic too much

[hollow sail]

no one knows for sure, can only speculate

maybe it's the way she's gesturing

the shinano/napoli/hindenburg skins could be because of gambling/alcohol references (the shinano skin also kind of looks like a certain place in amsterdam) but that's just my guess

[inland shoal]

The list in general makes no sense, it's just what google got complaints about, it's weird, but let's not discuss skins further in here

[woven star]

weird policy happened now. heard steam denied some games with adult content. so it's everywhere

[cobalt robin]

it was the payment processes that denied it, like visa and MasterCard. People should be able to spend their money however they want to imo

[plain saffron]

did i miss another "skin banned on EN" misinfo spreading?

smh people stealing my job

[cobalt robin]

[eternal basalt]

Yes, reddit is key They are the ultimate source of true info

[late flame]

lol reddit

[inner delta]

i thought thorin made it clear above

[woven star]

I hear some platform like Patreon banned same content games. Master cards after and it moves to game platform steam/google store etc. And speaking of Master there were a big number of games so it's not just ban of some game dev company. Feel like world trying make some rules but don't know how. or just my misinfo. anyway little bit oftop

[cobalt robin]

well steam hasn't been doing anything, it was just the payment processes. Haven't heard anything about that for patreon tho

[inner delta]

wew people actually can't read, do i need to just take action instead

[woven star]

shortly saying - most of that games have family content if you know what I mean and what I heard. anyway

[eternal basalt]

Rip Kaga x Akagi... well and China

[woven star]

no more mommies for AL

[wind hazel]

what's more effective in campaign for fishpack subs, mix or double bidder?

[undone plover]

I remember sushi said mix is better for campaign
Probably due to stagger
But maybe wait for him to get online

[wind hazel]

[hollow sail]

mix for constant flow recommended by most good players i've seen

[wind hazel]

does that take rld into account or not?

[hollow sail]

i mean it's kind of a mix of how the equip fires the torps and the reload

if you meant whether reload is a problem or not, it shouldn't be assuming you're using the proper torps and snorkel which is the default for campaign anyway

still waiting for that sub breakpoint calculator

[tulip thorn]

Where do i find the tower of horizons?

[eternal basalt]

Bottom right corner of the map (it's the new event)

[tulip thorn]

Omg thank you so much

[woven star]

@verbal plinth @quartz veldt solved my medallion. Just get more affinity and exp with yours faction. Seems you as I'm just retired too much ships while medallion wasn't claimed #gameplay-help message

this events have affinity and exp buff so best option make a fleet with faction ships to get it faster

[eternal basalt]

It got fixed with today's patch

[woven star]

oh. misinfo. so was a bug

[eternal basalt]

Gph-misinformation today

[forest palm]

small company please understand

[verbal plinth]

Yay ty

[balmy skiff]

how good are the new yumia ships???

[turbid marsh]

decent enough for w14 and below, irrelevant in the UR meta

[storm olive]

isnt there a wiki page specifically for sub oxyrld

[hollow sail]

it's very incorrect

[red hawk]

I've seen a couple different guides but I'm not sure how accurate they are

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbguide

there's this one but it follows a different plan than what I was originally told, solo till 9

but it has all the same initial starting recommendations

[plain saffron]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/dayonetips/guildshop
use this instead
or all the sam's guide

[red hawk]

see I did that stuff, and it says to use the one fleet till 9, but the newbie guide part of it shows developing a fleet right away

it's part of the same collection of guides

[plain saffron]

the one you sent is made years ago and is very outdated

[verbal plinth]

12-1 is more cogs than 4 right

[plain saffron]

more per oil

[red hawk]

right but you see they're literally part of the same set of guides so I was confused at first, I didn't realize some sections were better kept than others

[verbal plinth]

Ty

[plain saffron]

yeah idk why ectl keeps them too

[red hawk]

is the ship tier list up to date/valid?

[wind hazel]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit?gid=992971658#gid=992971658

use this instead, more comprehensive

[plain saffron]

you should a website of it

[red hawk]

Appreciated, trying to bookmark all the stuff people recommend here

[eternal basalt]

12-1 base
12-4 more gold than 12-1
13-1 more cogs than w12

[red hawk]

definitely need to open that on my pc though lol

[forest palm]

this is why you make a personal server to dump and archive shit

[red hawk]

Apparently Helena and Unicorn are the only 'good' ships I have

[forest palm]

they last well into the end game, there are other stepping stone options if you're just climbing

[red hawk]

According to the tier list almost every other ship I have is D tier across the board

[wind hazel]

what ships are you using

[red hawk]

The starter set with LI swapped for yumia

[wind hazel]

then you're fine

[forest palm]

most of all the information in that spread sheet is for the end game isn't it? shouldn't really be concerning yourself with that till you reach the relevant content

[red hawk]

No, I was just surprised that there are two of them that are actually decent long term and it's none of my gold ships

I mean Yumie was an upgrade for progression

[sharp comet]

most gold ships are decent long term

[forest palm]

lot of SSRs fell off back in 2019

[sharp comet]

that list is just for endgame

[grand solar]

Exactly how bad is the damn debuff in OpSi when your ship falls in battle, but you can't get to a port to fix it because it's a bloody stronghold you are in?

[red hawk]

Endgames a way off for me lol

[wind hazel]

you can leave stronghold

[grand solar]

Didn't quite answer my question.

[red hawk]

It is kind of nice to know what ships I should keep an eye out for long term though- like Eldridge seems worth saving for

[forest palm]

Tolls of War disables all skills for the ship that is affected, and Low Resolve means a fleet can't enter battle

[wind hazel]

your ships can't use skills, that's how bad it is

[wind hazel]

but your question is irrelevant because you can leave stronghold...

[ocean oriole]

Morning guys, I have a question.

I just pulled Nina & I wanted to know if she's worth building because I can't find any tier lists with her on it.

I've been playing for 3 weeks & I'm still not at level 60 so my resources are limited.

[grand solar]

Great...

So useless...the ship

[wind hazel]

depends on what else you have

[verbal plinth]

Go kill a mob in any map it will reset

[sharp comet]

no thats for low resolve, not tolls of war

[verbal plinth]

Oh mb

[red hawk]

Some of the new banner ships don't seem to be on that list

[ocean oriole]

Rn I'm just working on retrofitting a few characters.

I've been very unlucky but I have a few tier ones and twos. I have a lot of building to do ngl .. 😭

[grand solar]

Yeah. I screwed up and forgot to deploy subs to the boss fight because the boss did a DoT to my ships and literally died just as it died...So it got the last laugh

[ocean oriole]

I haven't pulled many good ships yet.

[wind hazel]

what bb are you currently using? you got weird filter on

[red hawk]

I wanted to ask about that, should I go and try to farm the retrofit stuff because all I need is one t2 to be able to fully retrofit unicorn

[grand solar]

Just work on building your fleet. Don't try to do stuff you aren't exactly equipped yet to handle.

[wind hazel]

you should be able to get enough by 3*ing the x-4 hard maps

[ocean oriole]

Lol I'm still using Repulse.

& I'm using Rodney lol. Yeah I should probably build her ngl... 😭

I'm sorry I'm really new to the game. This game is pretty complicated compared to the other gacha games I've played.

[red hawk]

ok yeah, I should be able to do that then, I have plenty of low hard stages to clear

[ocean oriole]

I didn't know to save the XP and poured it all into Neptune... 😭

[wind hazel]

you should change both repulse and rodney yeah, but not with nina. you are already splitting too many gold bulin between your ships, like sandiego yuudachi prinz eugen, that's very bad already

[red hawk]

I have all the t3 I will need, but I have one t2 I need to clear to get to those nodes on her retro

[grand solar]

Look use what you have. There is no shame in using lower tiered ships because it's all you have. I used Nevada for a long time simply because she was about the best BB I had after Warspite.

[red hawk]

after unicorn who should I prioritize retrofitting? Helena?

[wind hazel]

portland

[grand solar]

Yeah Portland is a good early game tanky ship.

Even though she's crap now, if you get her Prinz Eugen is good if you've got nothing else.

[red hawk]

prinz eugen has no damage

from everything ive read

[grand solar]

She's an early game good tank.

[red hawk]

so maybe use her in my second fleet?

[grand solar]

Well decent anyway if you've got nothing else.

[red hawk]

idk I need to look at what I've got after a bit, I'm levelling yumie and saratoga for my 2nd fleet rn, I'll work on vanguard after

[wind hazel]

no, she's crap if you're already using portland

look for cheaper alternative

[forest palm]

I mean..do you already have Eugen MLB is my question

[ocean oriole]

I can't build San Diego RN so she's shelved for a while.

Yuudachi is halfway there so a lot of work to do. I got Prinz early & I don't pull very often I have like 250 pulls saved rn.

What should I do right now? Is Nina not worth building rn?

[wind hazel]

since you have 0 exp books, there's no benefit in building nina

[ocean oriole]

It's my third week I got her very early.

[wind hazel]

you don't have enough gold bulin to mlb her either, even if you have the exp books

where are you in campaign right now?

[grand solar]

Also important fact about subs. All good subs are lolis. No non-loli sub is a good sub. So remember that.

[wind oxide]

U-556 meta, U-552is not a loli

[grand solar]

But also not a good sub. So ergo my point still stands.

[ocean oriole]

I can't progress right now... 😭

[wind hazel]

scrap your 2nd fleet, use rodney unicorn saratoga duca helena suzutsuki

[wind oxide]

U-552 is not a good sub?

Mori is this true?

[grand solar]

Is she a loli?

[red hawk]

whoops didn't mean to reply, how awful would a vanguard of Isla, Lenja, and Yuudachi be

[wind hazel]

yes 552 is very bad sub ||for campaign||

[grand solar]

So like I said if she's not a loli sub, she's utter and complere crap.

[wind hazel]

552 isn't a loli and also the best KMS bossing sub

[grand solar]

Sure...you just said she was crap. She can't be the best and still be crap. It's either one or other, not both.

[wind hazel]

she's bad in campaign, but good in boss.

just like how unicorn is good in mob, bad at boss.

[hollow sail]

U-556 meta, maggiore and da vinci are pretty good

[wind oxide]

See

[grand solar]

But..you run into bosses in the campaign, sooo...she's still crap.

[wind hazel]

[red hawk]

I grabbed U-556 and 557

[grand solar]

None of which are not lolis. So are mostly okay

[silk helm]

... lol

[hollow sail]

highly questionable statement

anyway this is rather pointless debate

[grand solar]

It's not pointless if it's fact.

[ocean oriole]

Ty.

Do you recommend I farm anything for the event specifically?

[wind hazel]

yes, farm every augments and special auxes

get to at least 55k milestone

[eternal basalt]

Both

[hollow sail]

debating it is pointless but what i said had a point and is a fact yes

[red hawk]

Thoughts on this as second?

Maybe swap enterprise to first fleet for sara

[grand solar]

Nah Enty is good. Enty is an always has been good

[wind oxide]

that looks like a waifu debate so take it outside of this channel

[ocean oriole]

Is that possible? None of my units can break a hundred yet.

[red hawk]

Yeah but would she be better on my main fleet

And give my second Saratoga instead

[grand solar]

I usually set Enty as my flagship.

[wind hazel]

yes easily, the event is lv80 outside of SP, can easily farm

[ocean oriole]

I'm sure I can hit that. I've been grinding pretty hard on this game.

[red hawk]

I was just mimicking my first setup, battleship in the middle flanked by carrier

[ocean oriole]

Should Retrofit Laffey? She's on the last two nodes.

[wind hazel]

too expensive

[grand solar]

Yeah give Sara to your second fleet. She's actually a wonderful Carrier, but then again she's a loli. Nine times out of ten lolis are good ships.

[wind hazel]

yes

[red hawk]

what do you mean too expensive?

[wind hazel]

after unicorn portland

[grand solar]

Yus! Awaken the eepy bunny! 😄

[ocean oriole]

Ty. Do you have any video guides you recommend I watch? 😅

[red hawk]

I should have enough bulins for everything

[wind hazel]

5/6 ships in there use gold bulin, you won't be able to afford that many bulin

[red hawk]

and some I have dupes

[wind hazel]

no, most video guides are either outdated or not beginner friendly, or misinfo, or combination

[red hawk]

yumie is already MLB

[ocean oriole]

[wind oxide]

4/6 one is already mlb

[wind hazel]

you need 16 for just lenja yuudachi and enterprise alone

[spark patio]

Where can i check my ships if they were good or bad?

[wind hazel]

you got 16 bulins sitting round?

[ocean oriole]

Damn lol

[silk helm]

• hella gold

[wind hazel]

ok my bad 12*

[red hawk]

I have 14 with a dupe for lenja and I can absolutely get one more

[wind oxide]

should've used gold bulins on enty instead of yumia

[wind hazel]

holy

[wind hazel]

but no, still a no. keep yumia enterprise, invest in better ships for the rest

[red hawk]

that's fair, I guess I just wanted to use my shiny new stuff :p

[red hawk]

I just got the medals for enty last night, I got Yumia from build before that

[ocean oriole]

Should I buy her or no?

[red hawk]

what about weevee on the backline there?

[ocean oriole]

Actually, I don't know it's about the shop for the event. Any recommendations?

[red hawk]

wait for last day she drops

[forest palm]

wait till after the event ends in case she drops

[ocean oriole]

That happens?!?!

[red hawk]

yeah that's how I got her

[forest palm]

on T5 + TS5 yes

[ocean oriole]

How would anyone new know that?

[forest palm]

it's datamine'd

[ocean oriole]

Lol

[red hawk]

you wouldn't lol but most of us new people are learning as we go

I learned by her showing up when I cleared lol

[forest palm]

either way the shop stays for a week after the main event ends

[wind hazel]

she's ok, needs retro

[ocean oriole]

Oh thank God. If it didn't I would probably lose all my hard work... 😅

Are the gear skin boxes worth buying in the shops?

There is a mission for it I think.

[red hawk]

you can synthesize some

with mats from missions

[ocean oriole]

So don't buy them with event currency or coin currency then?

[red hawk]

I would probably prioritize stuff that furthers your account

[ocean oriole]

I've been buying them from the shop cuz I haven't been using my coins.

[red hawk]

over cosmetics

you will go through a LOT of coins lol dont' do that

[ocean oriole]

Not the event shop the regular shop.

[wind hazel]

you're gonna regret that very soon

[red hawk]

when you start limit breaking and everything you're gonna need every coin you can get

I'm always broke and I'm just getting started, you need like 10k+ for MLB and upgrades

[ocean oriole]

Then how do I save my coins, I'm still under 60 and I can't save that many coins right now.

How do you guys do it?

[red hawk]

for each ship and it's only going to get higher the more you level

[tame jungle]

you save your coins by not spending them on useless stuff like gear skins

[red hawk]

gachas are a marathon not a sprint. I just do the most valuable upgrades I can at the time

I just started in the last week and a half myself so I'm just trying to absorb as much as I can and not spend stuff stupidly

[ocean oriole]

I thought we were capped at 40K coins?

[red hawk]

you cap out depending on commander level

I bought the 5 dollar pack for 70, my cap is pushing 50k

[tame jungle]

nope, hard cap is 600k
beyond the cap you see in port you just can't claim from merchant anymore

[red hawk]

and then yeah it gets stored on top of that

also what they said, the cap only makes it so you can't claim the free gold

[ocean oriole]

I would've paid if I knew would take 3-4 weeks to get to level 70 lol

[red hawk]

yeah it's the only thing I've bought but it was nice to have at start

[wind hazel]

dont worry you can pay for dockspace, game is smart

[tropic tusk]

[red hawk]

it gives you a different offer if you level? or youre just saying you have something else to spend on

[ocean oriole]

I was trying to be free to play lol. I've been using all my free gems on dock space.

[tropic tusk]

200 per 10 till u hit 2k dock space then will be 300 per 10

[red hawk]

you need to save some for your dorm, you need 500, plus opening another slot isnt awful so like 800

because you definitely want the second floor

after that dock space

and never use gems in the shop

[red hawk]

hold up 2k? how many ships are in this game

[tropic tusk]

2k dock space ... theres like around 700-750 ish total in game

[red hawk]

what would be the point of needing 1k+ more spots than ships

besides to not have to retire as often, that seems... excessive

[tropic tusk]

ur too poor to understand

[red hawk]

rich people don't stay rich making too many superflous investments (nice try tho)

[rapid summit]

Does oil caps go for events too or just story?

[tropic tusk]

u need over 1k dock space case ur wifu will take 80% of the dock space

[turbid marsh]

TH has oil cap

[turbid marsh]

yeah, 1k is enough, at least im happy with 1k dock space right now

[red hawk]

oh so there are people who collect multiples of their favorite ships for fun. Makes sense. It seems like there's always some kind of challenge or fun way of personal play people do with gachas

collecting absurd amounts of silly resources and stuff like that

[tropic tusk]

thats y ur too poor to understand

[wind hazel]

ok relax mr bill gates

[wind oxide]

Re-lax

[red hawk]

so I'm noticing none of the SR medal ships are in that tier list

[soft raft]

In what tier list?

[undone plover]

Most ppl that have a lot of dock space do it for fleet power I think
For account fleet power ranking duplicates of different LB level count
So for example having NJ at 6 star then 5 star then 4 star and 3 star

[tropic tusk]

they count like that? isnt 1 ship count 1 time?

[undone plover]

Needless to say it is pointless and very expensive

[red hawk]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit?gid=992971658#gid=992971658

[undone plover]

They do
Unless u have 2 NJ 6 star then only 1 counts

[tropic tusk]

oh they count star instead of ship tahts nice

[boreal wagon]

every unique version of a ship counts, which also means some retrofits count as their own copy

[soft raft]

San Diego
Sirius
Enterprise is prob somewhere on there

[boreal wagon]

she is even in there twice

[viscid swift]

considering that tier list has every ship in the game more or less

that's unlikely

[red hawk]

SR medal shop. I used Ctrl f on every name

[wind oxide]

Shoukaku is second best after enterprise with her aug

[viscid swift]

they're main fleets not vanguards

check the main fleet page not vanguard page

[red hawk]

oh my god I knew I was doing something wrong, thank you

It didn't make sense to me why I wasn't finding them lol

[hollow gust]

none of them are worth over enterprise, just get a random one for tech

[red hawk]

I was looking at future investments past enterprise...

[wind oxide]

you'd get newer better URs instead

[charred grove]

Guys is there a guide for the current event? I'm so lost and confused

[wind oxide]

check pin

[undone plover]

For new event do hard stages and rotate between them until u craft everything in the craft menu
Then farm until u hit the milestone u want

For ryza rerun farm hard maps 10 times each and that should be enough I think

[dark terrace]

Hi guys!! Which one is better? (BL 15" Mk III Prototype) or (Triple 410mm Japanese)

[charred grove]

Thank you guys!
Not sure my fleets can do hard content, but I'll go as high as I can

[undone plover]

U have ~10 days left I think
Just do your best

[charred grove]

By crafting you mean the Alchemist's atelier recipe list? :3

[echo vector]

Is there any preview function for the "secret" asmr of z52 and golden hind ? I tried youtube but nothing there

[charred grove]

Yeah, I will

[wind oxide]

dont think so

[undone plover]

U really shouldnt have any of those guns since they are hardly used and they are from older season

The Mk3 I think is a very minor “upgrade” over the purple triple 406 mk6
The sakura 410 is only rly used on musashi since the champagne gun is just better for medium and heavy

Are u on pr1 focus by any chance? In academy

[south python]

The google doc is blank for me, what's the craft time for Nina?

[south python]

07

[tropic tusk]

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

[wind oxide]

wiki hasnt updated the construction timers

[dark terrace]

yes I'm farming my first ship in (room)

[undone plover]

It is ok to build roon
But switch focus in academy to pr7 or pr8
Or pr5

[charred grove]

Guys I'm still confused, there's so many tabs in those events, the pinned link is confusing me, too.
What do I need to craft? "Alchemist's Atelier: Recipe List" stuff?

[undone plover]

read this @dark terrace
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/research-focus

[red hawk]

pretty much one of everything if you want the event completion from what I understand

and the skystones are needed to progress the story in the main event

[dark terrace]

ok

[undone plover]

When u have enough materials u can just auto craft them
But u need to farm the material stages
If u have unicorn retrofit it should be relatively easy

[charred grove]

@red hawk ah

[charred grove]

Nah, still working on her retrofit

[undone plover]

Like I said u have time left

[dark terrace]

I'm finishing the uni retrifit farm

[red hawk]

that guy that said he was blowing coins earlier is trigerring me now because I'm like 10k short on finishing unicorn retro

[charred grove]

True :3

[wind oxide]

For yumia just farm each mat stage for 15 or more
For ryza farm them 10 each
then when crafting just auto select them and you're set

[charred grove]

Thank you!

[chrome frigate]

yumia's require 15... x.x
im already tired doing ryza's 10 each

[dark terrace]

I got the New J today

[wind oxide]

maybe more i do not know the exact

[chrome frigate]

MORE?!

[dark terrace]

[chrome frigate]

i dont have the oil for that

[wind oxide]

event shop has 4k oil each

[chrome frigate]

yeah and i already burnt through that doing just ryza's i dont think they thought this collab through x.x

[wind oxide]

Weekly +4k

[undone plover]

Like I said there is time left relax
U dont need to finish today

[red hawk]

when you're farming the event maps are you just running autoclear or are you full clearing the map everytime, I phrased this weird, but how should I be doing this

ive just been running clearing mode is that not ideal?

[viscid swift]

I dunno why you'd full clear everytime, just a waste of oil

[red hawk]

I didn't know if there was any advantage to it experience wise, that's why I asked

[chrome frigate]

yeah autoclear does it with minimalist fights and i saw it even picks up the resources before fighting boss so autoclear ftw

[viscid swift]

well your main goal is to get the material drops

[red hawk]

right but im also trying to level ships

[tropic tusk]

y not save some oil for next run for more exp and mats?

[red hawk]

so I wasn't sure if it was worth the extra oil to maximize xp

[undone plover]

Every node will cost extra oil anyway
So u wont get more xp per oil
Doing all the nodes just means less coin and same xp

[red hawk]

ok, that's clear enough then

[viscid swift]

any small XP you're gaining by maximizing the oil entry cost will only be lost in the coins you lose and extra time spent needing to manually select nodes

[undone plover]

And the entry cost is 10 oil anyway

[wind oxide]

#gameplay-help message
do you somehow remember where to get these remaining furnis?
faer

[red hawk]

fair, like I said, I asked because I wanted to be sure I was doing stuff efficiently, and not wasting opportunities by not taking every fight. But what you say makes sense.

[undone plover]

I havent finished the rerun yet tbh
But cant u just craft these
Or are they given for missions

[undone plover]

There is only 1 time u fight all nodes
And that is to get the 3rd star for the mission

[wind oxide]

They're not yet available and the redirect when you tap them goes to the request board which also has none of them as reward so im guessing we'll get them on 7th day

[chrome frigate]

im on the final stretch

[wind oxide]

the mats you get by taking on all mobs vs taking on only the required mobs and collecting the portal has the same reward
the only diff is the exp you get for your ships
you dont farm exp on event maps do you?
the eventpts you get is fixed after clearing a map and that is 180
same must go for the mats

[eternal basalt]

180 x3 if doing the Ryza maps of course

[red hawk]

I was actually recommended to considering my place in the campaign

running xp on event maps

and ignore my campaign till events over

[wind hazel]

they meant to run it auto at event maps, not manually clearing the whole map at event maps

[red hawk]

no no, and I'm not, let me be clear lol. I just mean I'm only doing alterier stages for farm during event and not grinding campaign for xp or anything

but I'm use clearing mode and autosearch

[wind hazel]

yea keep at it

[red hawk]

but I plan on grinding TS5 when I finish the recipes

[undone plover]

This is not like other events tbh
Any of the material maps give the same drops except the crafting materials
So u can farm w.e hard map it shouldnt matter much
Once u craft everything I mean

[eternal basalt]

Keep making neutralizers after for 110 points a pop bonus

[wind oxide]

Also upgrade the core for the map it makes it easier plus more affinity

👍

[rapid grail]

guys is lowcosting event good

[undone plover]

Depends on the event
And it is not a huge gain and also a bit annoying

[eternal basalt]

Do initial run, till oilcap unlocked

[red hawk]

what is lowcosting

[stark quiver]

you make a fleet to clear t4 using only ranger and a mahan class dd
both are at 0 lb and lvl 70, giving you a 4 oil fleet

[eternal basalt]

And zero materials, no affection, no xp, nuthin... just wasting

[steep copper]

😔 this is what I get for not checking if I was using upto date sources when building fleets a month ago

[turbid marsh]

i mean she is quite old

[sweet delta]

I mean this is endgame list, she will do great in easy to mid content ||like most other ships||

[verbal plinth]

Investment tier list when /j

[turbid marsh]

i mean end game tier list is basically investment tier list no?

[tropic tusk]

theres also a prio crarft and +13

[red hawk]

to a point, but when you have access to so few early on, like im in the middle of working up a second fleet and dont have many that are recommended rn

so trying to figure out what's good enough to not be complete trash is hard because the stuff I have is all the same rating and stuff

[turbid marsh]

yes, which is why you can create a thread and someone will help you when you post what you have in dock XD

[red hawk]

im just gonna grind out the few I know are good to decent levels and then see what I have picked up from event after that

[tropic tusk]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/#priority_guides

[warm trail]

do i get to own this in my dorm?

[viscid swift]

if you get the items yes

[undone plover]

that is why u can always come here to ask in that scenario
same thing with getting expensive gear and +13 gear
it is fine to consult resources and it is better to check resources/guides and also come ask here

[red hawk]

I'm just kinda glad I lucked out and got the atelier ships I wanted without pulling a bunch, I can save cubes for the september one

[eternal basalt]

Sad EN anni noises

[red hawk]

Ive pulled about 40 times and got all but nina between build and drops

[undone zinc]

Which one should i choose for the catchup thing?

[white agate]

ply and brest, harbin if you really want

[woven star]

Looking low oil vanguard ship for 1:1 fleet: something like ranger 0lb + common\rare mlb ship. Any suggestion or top tiers?
Right now thinking about Comet or Sims. Better DD ships. Cos there are better options like Fu Shun (9 oil) for ships like Rare CLs Suffolk with 10 oil.

[deft kettle]

should i mlb enterprise?

[eternal basalt]

PR none are that good, so whichever you want

[wind oxide]

dont think 0lb 70 common can be used at mat stages since they're level 80

[undone zinc]

Okay ply then because she cute ty

[undone plover]

i recommend using the gold ship catchup for protocore

[deft kettle]

boys is enterprise worth mlb

[undone plover]

depends who else u have but almost certainly yes

[deft kettle]

(other than shinano that will take awhile)

[woven star]

for example ranger 0lb+z52 can handle something like 105 lvl but total amount oil will be higher. just looking some low oil ships investments

SSR or Elite not a problem. harder with common\rare tier

[wind oxide]

SR? just slam in a DDG

[eternal basalt]

Note you get the whole DR section, 300. PR is TOTAL 300.

[stark quiver]

Why would you use a UR to 1:1 it just defeats the purpose of it

And you could just calc the pt/oil

[woven star]

cos 1:1 0lb fleet cant handle 70-80+ lvl enemies

[viscid swift]

just use Unicorn and a DDG, that'll easily take care of the first clear on all event maps

[wind oxide]

I'm also using that rn

3x with high eff cost 912

[stark quiver]

I think that’s just you

[wind oxide]

perseus and Z1 cost 900

[undone zinc]

Which gear should i craft for Klaudia?

[viscid swift]

you want to get all the gear and her unique augment

[undone zinc]

All the gear?!?!!

What's her unique augment? I can't find it

[stark quiver]

It’s not hard to get all

[woven star]

Maybe. But I'm asked not about efficency but about list of low rare ships

[undone zinc]

Ohh ty

[undone zinc]

Is all the gear really useful? Even in non atelier ships?

[viscid swift]

Cassin and Downes I'm pretty sure you already know

[sweet delta]

Elixir is a catapult side grade, and elixir and mystic robe are very important for klaudia

Bubble bullet and crystal ice bomb are also useful for non atelier sometimes

[stark quiver]

Wirbel luft PvP

[onyx flame]

quick question, for secretary only the left most ship gets affinity yea?

[undone zinc]

Noted

[wary skiff]

Ok is it normal to spend 400 cubes and not get all the collab chars.. I’ve mlb Nina friede and haven’t gotten a Yumia and I’m down to 330 cubes 🙃

[sweet delta]

According to a graph made by someone, the chance is about 5% for not getting all of Nina yumia lenja within 200 pulls

So it is quite normal

[novel solstice]

Randomness is random. There are a lot of people playing the game, and if there's a 5% chance that you don't have all the characters after 200 pulls, that means one out of twenty people get that bad luck on any given event... and if you've been playing for a year and a half or so and thus have been around for more than 20 events, you are very likely to have had luck that bad on at least one of them!

[viscid swift]

that's not how probability works but

[uncut adder]

yes. up to 90

[shy oracle]

um it doesn't it doesn't work that way...

[woven star]

Looking something with good dps\barrage. Downes value is more about survivability (her heal skill). I found Sims with her every 10 sec 1k total damage barrage and smoke at the battle start. But thought something else we have. Comet with refit and augm. is something interesting but her augm. barrage damage is not so impressive. Ok anyway seems nothing special else in the list

[viscid swift]

I mean there's various parameters you need to establish for low costing

[wind hazel]

augment requires limit break doesn't it lol

[viscid swift]

besides the usual what map you also need to put a cap on how much oil it is accpetable for your fleet to cost and such

[wind hazel]

try z20/21 with mog gun

[woven star]

I know. I'm talking not about 0lb ships. Common\rare dd with refit, mlb and augment if has and ofc full level...

[viscid swift]

why not just use a DDG at that point

a common DD at full level is gonna cost you 7 oil, a DDG is 9 oil

[woven star]

for example this event with 78 enemies lvl... cap about 20 oil per enemies. if full upgraded comet can handle it will be 10 oil per map and if z52 - 15 oil...

[viscid swift]

you know all the material stages and T5 have an oil cap of 20 for mobs right?

[woven star]

DDG 12 oil. just want know how far from 1:1 0lb can be useful

[viscid swift]

9 oil not 12

[woven star]

ranger + DDG =12. Ranger 0lb the lowest main ship as I know

[viscid swift]

I dunno, but comet probably won't work, you need to clear fast

so that Ranger doesn't die

[woven star]

ok. I will try. thought maybe someone know some vanguard tiers for low rare ships

[viscid swift]

no because there's no real point in having a low cost fleet between 0 LB Ranger + mahan and Unicorn retrofit + a DDG

[undone zinc]

What do i do if i have a 5th SR?

[novel solstice]

If you have more copies of a ship than you need to fully limit break and retrofit (if relevant) her, you retire the excess to get medals to spend in the medals shop.

[undone plover]

Ranger + ddg did not work for me on last easy map
But uni + 2 mahan worked

Not sure about hard
But I think sometimes due to sub/plane low level backline will die no matter what

[undone zinc]

Okok

[woven star]

yeah sometimes subs and planes can be a problem so I used Hedgehog on some event maps

[manic spear]

do I limit break shinano (shes still 3 stars, I have no other UR)

[stark quiver]

Do you have shinano dupes

[manic spear]

no only a bulin

[stark quiver]

Then nah

Save bulins for new URs

[manic spear]

ok

[undone zinc]

Is she worth leveling up? I like her tsundere attitude

[undone plover]

Not really
Eventually worth getting to level 120 because she gives good tech
But not early on

[undone zinc]

Ty

[undone plover]

Nelson is a good investment early on if u dont have many great BB
And she is also a tsun

She needs her retrofit tho

[narrow kiln]

funny answer:(Based on my experience actually... But somehow I was lucky enough to choose the Unicorn myself)
If you are ready to consciously weaken yourself for the sake of a waifu - that is your choice.

[timber crow]

guyys, can i share my fleets and gets some advice? im new on this ds

got some ships on lvl 75 but others on lvl 50ish and dont know if its worth to keep lvling them up

i read somewhere that its best to have like a durable fleet and a Dps fleet for mobs and bosses

[soft raft]

True, but not before at earliest W9 cuz you wouldn't have the resources to properly raise 12 ships instead of 6

Give this a read if you haven't already https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[timber crow]

true, im on W6 rn

and lvlng up is so tiresome

[slender pond]

Is there any reason to keep grinding the Ryza event if I already got all the gear?
Besides Kala dupes?

[viscid swift]

not really

[brazen lotus]

Hey lads this is my fleet comp, would it be worth replacing leipzig with mainz?

[viscid swift]

yes, among many other changes

[cobalt rapids]

are your ships even mlb

[brazen lotus]

I got em all mlb around lvl 115 except using zeppy tryin to pull graf

[cobalt rapids]

so what content are u building for because lvling when grinding w12 or event and stuff u can just go ahead and use what u like

[brazen lotus]

Only player lvl 75 atm

[cobalt rapids]

maybe u can post ur dock in a thread for recommandations on what u should be working on then

[brazen lotus]

My 2nd fleet is grobe, ulric and augusta with the z gals 23, 1, 46

[viscid swift]

Probably garbage if you're only level 75

[cobalt rapids]

yes but in vacuum the only thing i can tell you then is to get and retrofit unicorn and get helena and then read the guides

[brazen lotus]

Is there content gated behind having those good ships? Or just more efficent farming?

[cobalt rapids]

theoretically no
practically yes

[viscid swift]

Not using Unicorn may as well be willingly handicapping yourself for no reason

[brazen lotus]

Good to know, tys

[cobalt rapids]

theres some usefull blue gear
notably the blue single 76mm dd gun and fire extinguishers and blue rudders(till u can spam gold ones)
and theres some blue gear thats prereq for gearlab stuff
most of it is safe to reaquire if scrapped tho but u should cross check if its not from a rare box like iris or stuff

[crude kelp]

Idk is this correct topic to question but someone has freezes in dorm after last update?

[cobalt rapids]

yes the game has been laggy ever since the collab upd

[robust nymph]

whens the event that drops the new montpelier skin?

[cobalt rapids]

when we get the new cruise pass on the 1st

its a paid skin

[robust nymph]

oh its like the battle pass? i always wondered if its worth getting

[cobalt rapids]

well if u want the monty skin u need to get it
is good value for ur $ but not better than 2x gems unless u want the skin

[robust nymph]

i see ty, yea when in game it said event i thought for free

[cobalt robin]

for monty skin it's worth it

[robust nymph]

original skin doesnt even look like her at all lol

[cobalt robin]

newer and refined art + big boobs

[cobalt rapids]

is game freezing at 100% in boss battle a known bug

[robust nymph]

before i join one is there a way to know if they are one of those who upgrades stuff or not..

[cobalt rapids]

not really
ure better off looking in #1246721562741178410

[robust nymph]

this is good right?

[cobalt rapids]

the most important thing is dock slots for most people and currently 30 is max yes
oil cap and coin cap dont matter much

the other important thing is that the guild does 2x compilers per month

[rapid grail]

yes these are maxed bonus

[robust nymph]

oh okay, i had no idea what the cap was

[rapid grail]

also kinda reliant on the entire guild being active enough to do 2 guild ops in 28 days or less

so having an active guild is a boon for more gold plates and benefits

[cobalt rapids]

if the guild doesnt do it twice per month then u need to switch guild

unless ure inactive urself

[robust nymph]

guild ops is the one with the boss to kill, or the one where you click on recommended and keep sending ships to missions

[cobalt rapids]

its both

[robust nymph]

pretty sure my old one was doing that more than twice a month

[cobalt rapids]

u only get rewards up to 2 times per month

anything more is useless but whats important is that they do the highest one for most rewards and not purfiier or w.e

[robust nymph]

ah gotcha i see

also is there a way to see if the request is still pending, or rejected perhaps

[cobalt rapids]

what request? customer support ?

[robust nymph]

no the request that i sent to join the guild

[cobalt rapids]

oh, idk

[empty bloom]

Starting to slow down on being able to beat the story around chapter 10, any suggestions? I think I’m good on my first fleet but want to improve the second, I have like 8 gold bulins I think so I can use those if needed, really would like to keep using anchorage on the second

[cobalt rapids]

replace nj and deadmaster with sara and yumia

[viscid swift]

Mob: Maryland retrofit, Unicorn, Saratoga, Otto, Pompeo, Laffey
Boss: Zenker, Ark Royal, Formidable/Enterprise, Anchorage, Helena, San Diego

[cobalt rapids]

limit breaks + levels will do the trick and read the gear guide for pov gears

[empty bloom]

Thanks guys

I don’t see Maryland anywhere

[cobalt robin]

does it matter if I farm t5 or th stages for points? they all seem to be 180

[cobalt rapids]

keep warpsite, u have 2 UR bulins and no UR so ure fine to spend spec cores on both sandy and warspite rf

[empty bloom]

I have New Jersey

[cobalt robin]

yea but you shouldn't use bullins on perma urs

[viscid swift]

I don't think Warspite is viable tbh at this stage

[cobalt rapids]

yea mb i meant no UR worth spending bulins rn so ure safe on getting enough till jp anni

[viscid swift]

yeah she's cheaper than a gacha UR but her retrofit and augment is still gonna be around 80k coins

and a lotta retrofits BPs

[empty bloom]

Got u

[cobalt rapids]

i mean yes but shell work fine till 12 and then she transitions into an actual UR bb by the time they need her for w13 or opsi

[midnight bluff]

Is there a purpose in crafting the neutralizers in the atelier yumia collab?

Seems like only the ones crafted in the other collab work

[viscid swift]

not really other than to use extra mats that may be useful in Ryza

[red hawk]

will the skins for atelier be available after the event?

[viscid swift]

no

[cobalt rapids]

collab skins are only made available again during collab reruns and considering this is alr a rerun and no history of collab archive..yea

[sweet delta]

There are missions where you can convert neutralizers to event currency

[red hawk]

I get paid again before it goes away so if I decide I want it then I'll do it

[empty bloom]

Which one is Maryland tho

[viscid swift]

you can get her in the guild shop, she's an elite

[cobalt robin]

will i have to clear ex hard to get on the rankings?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[cobalt robin]

😔

[empty bloom]

Is she that good vs who I have leveled already to sink more mats into?

[cobalt robin]

what abt ryza? I don't see ranking there

[cobalt rapids]

if u retrofit maryland she will be better than warspite till u retrofit warspite and much worse if u retrofit warspit + augment

[cobalt rapids]

maybe they forgot

but old EXs dont have different difficulties

[cobalt robin]

[cobalt rapids]

they only have a single difficulty and its the ranked one

[cobalt robin]

but I don't see the ranking tab anywhere or will it show up after clearing

[cobalt rapids]

thats why i said maybe they forgot

[cobalt robin]

forgor 😔

[stark quiver]

Don’t do ranking hunting, it bricks accounts

[cobalt robin]

I don't really care abt the rankings I was just curious

imma just try em for the 500 cogs each

[empty bloom]

Okay yeah pretty easy 💀

[dark hazel]

what corrosion level is the most efficient to farm for ur mats if time isn't a concern?

[stark quiver]

C5 is good

[cobalt robin]

c5

[empty bloom]

Now how do I make my dorm bigger

[cobalt robin]

Do you mean 2nd floor?

[empty bloom]

Yeah

[cobalt robin]

You need to expand first floor using decor coins first

[empty bloom]

How do I grind those

[dark hazel]

commissions

[cobalt rapids]

c3

[keen owl]

Is there a Yumia dorm?

[shy oracle]

you also get quite a lot towards the end of of your cruise mission rewrads

[sweet delta]

There are 3 dorm sets

[cobalt rapids]

assuming ofc uve done everything else alr in opsi

[robust nymph]

is there any point on doing the 3 dailies here if it says this

[cobalt rapids]

theres daily mission

[robust nymph]

oh it still rewards you 75 each ok, is merit more valuable than gold?

[viscid swift]

I would say so

[cobalt rapids]

yes
u usually spend coins or plates you have too much of
but if ure a casuall player who doesnt buy many gold bulins and doesnt raise many gold ships then u can spend merit aswell

[robust nymph]

i would say im just new not casual

ill spend the gold

[stark quiver]

Same cat nodes?

[cobalt rapids]

on average per ap spent yes

but u have more chances for akashi

[stark quiver]

Holy mog

But that doesn’t help when I’m doing opsi last 1-2 hours

[robust nymph]

so it shows this but the message said +30 so i assume im looking at the wrong thing or?

[cobalt rapids]

you have to buy the upgrades urself
thats just how much the guild offers you

at discounted price coz otherwise u buy em at public guild rates

and after u get enough activity

[ionic kraken]

how do you get the augments for the atelier cards

[cobalt rapids]

in their respective events atelier minigames

[cobalt robin]

craft them in atelier section in the events

[ionic kraken]

can any of the atelier augments go an any atelier card? or are they specific to a character

[cobalt robin]

it's unique augments

[cobalt rapids]

unique augments ( gold ) are specific to a character
and this applies to every character

[forest palm]

UEs aren't shared among Alts, so Roon Muse can't use Roon's UE for example

[cobalt robin]

what's 2nd best tank equip after wash machine + beaver

[forest palm]

Blue Rudder/Blue Camo is the simplest thing

[cobalt rapids]

for cruisers ice bomb

[cobalt robin]

what's that

[forest palm]

Aux you get from this event

[cobalt rapids]

the blue bomb from ryza event

[stark quiver]

/wiki ice bomb

[odd root]

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

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

[stark quiver]

Damn

[forest palm]

ya...

[cobalt robin]

ice bomv works lol

I'll use wash machine and ice bomb on kala then

[regal wren]

Need help. The fomo.gonna explode my head. How to know i already unlocked everything in syntesis from first ryza event??

[cobalt rapids]

go to the atelier and if u crafted everything and u only have the boosts and spirit bottle and neutralizers left then u got everything

and check the request board

actually u can just check it in the reward list

[regal wren]

That s the problem. Im already done first one before so seeing the same thing. Thsy should show the item already unlock just like ship.

[cobalt rapids]

just check it here

[undone zinc]

Is she worth investing?

[turbid marsh]

not really

[stark quiver]

No

[turbid marsh]

she is the best gold cb, but also the worst XD treat her as eugen, maybe a bit worse

[undone zinc]

Then why is she so cute

[regal wren]

@cobalt rapids umm..How to see that?? Look like im so confuse that i really overlooked.

[cobalt robin]

best and worst?

[cobalt rapids]

tap on this then reward list
btw this shows only what u got this event so if u wanna skip dupes for some reason then ull have to manually check urself

[turbid marsh]

you see any other... gold cb?

[undone zinc]

Me

[cobalt robin]

I don't know

[turbid marsh]

yeah she is the one and only gold cb in the game XD

[cobalt robin]

That's why I'm building her

[stark quiver]

Same idea as one of the bb tech fodders being the new purple bbv

[regal wren]

@cobalt rapids ah damn.yeah it reset for me. Ahhhh...just fck do it all then.

[robust nymph]

huh why did you reply to me

[regal wren]

Oh wait...I just take a pic and censored all thing I get before.
I need to focus on new one.

[agile furnace]

what is this plane and where do i find it

[cobalt rapids]

its called experimental xsb3c-1 and u find it in gearlab and its not worth crafting and much less worth taking to +13

[agile furnace]

i was copying a fleet for scarnhorst meta off youtube

[cobalt rapids]

not a good idea

[sweet delta]

Forget whatever YouTuber you were watching

[agile furnace]

they killed it with 31 seconds remaining

[white agate]

i read it as you find it in gardaland

[cobalt rapids]

not much of an achievement
when copying gear make sure u understand if the invesment is worth it and why
otherwise ask here or just keep ur stuff at +10

[sweet delta]

I can kill scharn in 48s too with a confetti gun

Xsb3c is basically the sb2c helldiver but with 20 more avi and the ability to go +12 and +13, not that you should waste gold plates on that

[white agate]

perseus will ge the retrofit of the anni ||pls no, an aug yes, but i want a different type of kai||

[azure coyote]

What should I choose?

[cobalt rapids]

sandy and kazagumo

[white agate]

sandy or kazagumo or sirius

[white agate]

sirius got powercrept?

[cobalt rapids]

no

i mean yes but idt in the way u meant

[azure coyote]

You know what class they are?

[white agate]

sandy is cl, sirius too i think(else ca, but i am pretty sure she is cl), kazagumo is dd

[azure coyote]

Wait I should've worded that better

What I mean was are they an aircraft carrier or battle ship something like that

[white agate]

vanguards

[agile furnace]

So what should I replace the xsb3c-1 with?

[azure coyote]

Cause I have no clue what cl, ca and dd means

[agile furnace]

or should i craft something

[viscid swift]

if this is still for Scharnhorst META, why are you copying an old ass comp that's also reliant on RNG

[white agate]

dd=destroyer, cl= lightcruiser

[agile furnace]

yes and the video was 3 years old

so yeah its old

[viscid swift]

I rest my case

[azure coyote]

Ok thank you

[white agate]

discord got no dinosaur emote

[agile furnace]

i didnt know it was rng related though

[viscid swift]

I'm gonna guess Helena was used and Ark Royal procced her double damage skill twice as well

you can build comps which do much more damage these days with much less RNG

[viscid swift]

give the META chronicles a read

[stark quiver]

Kimochwese?

[agile furnace]

nope

[stark quiver]

[agile furnace]

i looked at the fleets and cant do either of them, so uh i need some help

[stark quiver]

The meta chronicles uses very unique comps to say the least
I find a lot hard to copy or just uncopyable

[agile furnace]

would a medium based fritz and nakhimov work?

with some other main fleet ship

[cobalt rapids]

if u gear accordingly
scharn is heavy btw

[agile furnace]

scarn is heavy? i saw it was medium

[cobalt rapids]

nvm

yes it will work more than enough

[azure coyote]

Is it bad to have 3 dd?

[cobalt rapids]

hulls matter less than what ships u use
especially for vanguards

[agile furnace]

so would it be bad if i put med on haku and shinano, fritz and kinda being used for kawakaze meta and i dont like switching gear back and forth

[cobalt rapids]

i mean a ton of comps can kill scharn meta if u gear appropiately

[agile furnace]

alright

i just struggle to get plane torps to hit her since shes alwats movin

[cobalt rapids]

even the kawakaze comp with no gear change probably

[azure coyote]

Are the Collab characters good?

[cobalt rapids]

some are better than others

[azure coyote]

I have lenja is she any good?

[cobalt rapids]

one of the weaker ones

[azure coyote]

😭

[cobalt rapids]

with 1 salvo to spare

[eager mulch]

big lack of amagi-chan there

[azure coyote]

Is brennus any good?

[cobalt rapids]

not really
shes average gold ca like a gold portland

[stark quiver]

Used to be the dps queen

[viscid swift]

I think I still have the SSs somewhere on my phone of that bug

[cobalt rapids]

https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1266223351773397043 is still up

[ionic kraken]

do all pr/dr ships have the coins option daily for blueprints? or does it stop at a certain set?

[inner delta]

it gets added overtime, so its not every yet

[ionic kraken]

is it available for dr6?

[inner delta]

i dont think so

you can check in game if they show up buy with coin or not

[regal wren]

Need help,I find out I still not unlocked all furniture from previous ryza.
So I must clear all request ??

[sweet delta]

There are some time gated requests

[regal wren]

Oh damn. No wonder I forget before ,maybe I'm too busy that time. 😢

[eternal basalt]

It takes 7 days for all missions to unlock

[left cedar]

6 days ...

[robust nymph]

everything is secured why doesnt it let me go in?

2 days left the most boring grind ever is about to end (not really its probably just starting)

[stark quiver]

do this

[left cedar]

cuz u dint complete chp 5 missions

[robust nymph]

o right, i swear it wasnt there before

[dusty wigeon]

Dumb noob question again, is maintenance now? Just making sure its not my end.

[left cedar]

EN spreading to images ?! we are doomed

[stark quiver]

no

[dusty wigeon]

OK thanks, its hanging at checking for updates so first thought was oh I missed a notice. bows

[obtuse island]

recently i tested yuudachi's main gun dmg with the blue 76mm and gold twin 100mm type 98, and despite yuudachi having 2 mounts the dmg is so low i highly doubt it's worth it to sacrifice speed for that small boost in damage

[stark quiver]

fast gun
so blue

[sweet delta]

Is your yuudachi retrofitted?

The gold gun should be better

[quaint tapir]

retro yuudachi just wants a standard DD gun no?

[sweet delta]

Yes

I wouldn't call 2x100% low

[viscid swift]

Skills aren't maxed and she's not level 120 among other factors

[hushed sorrel]

how exactly do i raise the affection of submarine above 80 (after being main secretary for a while)
do it need to fight or does it only need to be inside the map

[viscid swift]

She needs to enter the fight

[robust nymph]

is the 76mm bis for ayanami?

blue weap

[hushed sorrel]

thank you

[crimson glacier]

yes aya only cares about speed

[quaint tapir]

i think it's 113 mark 4 = 100 kai > blue 76 > rest

[sweet delta]

In terms of doing the only thing she's decent at doing, blue 76 or single 113 are the best

[eternal basalt]

Remember my screeeeeeeenshot

[robust nymph]

i was actually thinking about it, but it keeps giving me story parts to do.. idk how far i am

i want to be free..

[eternal basalt]

You're done with chap 5, you are now in the Arbiter Testing Phase

[robust nymph]

im in a corrosion7 area now its still story

[eternal basalt]

Post a screen, maybe start a thread

[eternal basalt]

See the top left, see what it says

[robust nymph]

[eternal basalt]

It's bosses might still be bugged, can't do them myself though. You can see it when attacking the boss without feet lock

[robust nymph]

i always wondered what that fleet lock was?

[eternal basalt]

It skips the fleet selection straight to combat

[robust nymph]

ill keep doing everything i see with this mark as of now

[eternal basalt]

You only get 3 tutorial battles

[obtuse island]

is there something in special i gotta focus on when it comes to gear lab? i've been grinding OpSi lately and i have a handful of mats but i don't really know what to get first

even using the priority list i still have quite a few options to choose from

[eternal basalt]

Which do you doubt between?

[obtuse island]

i had these in mind based on my needs

oh and also the flapjack

[eternal basalt]

I personally would pick flapjack

[obtuse island]

only having to craft a gold gear to get the best fighter sounds way too good to miss it

[viscid swift]

gimme a sec

[ivory pawn]

Quad mags don't need electronics, they're not bad to craft whenever. Saiun Kai is good, but maybe consider Wyvern or two first. Same with Flapjack, maybe grab Wyvern first. Twin 114 also doesn't need electronics, probably another good craft whenever pick.

[sweet delta]

I'll give you a second sec

[ivory pawn]

The catch is it costs Electronics, which are the most valuable of the various gold materials.

[sweet delta]

I prefer crafting twin 128 instead of 114 since the 114 is just a small upgrade to 100

[viscid swift]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ak-0fqLWBpShAlPY9i_lL5MW22DpUGh81k-EWgHd7J0/edit?usp=sharing

[eternal basalt]

Got a screenshot of one of the training bosses?

[obtuse island]

i wasn't considering rainbow gear cuz i'm sure that by the time i have enough of these i'd already have more than enough of the other mats even if i spend them on something else

[ivory pawn]

You'd be surprised then.

[sweet delta]

Very surprised

You can get 9 UR plans in 2 months

[obtuse island]

...

[robust nymph]

Got a screenshot of one of the training

[obtuse island]

oh.

[ivory pawn]

You need, what was it, 100 electronics for the Wyvern? And that's if you spend core data on the plane that builds into it.

Oh, other way around.

[sweet delta]

And I myself have averaged only 86 electronics per month by tryharding. 4 UR designs per month is much less tryhardy

[ivory pawn]

78 electronics if you don't spend core data, 57 if you do.

[crimson glacier]

what counts as tryharding

[obtuse island]

yeahhh i think i'll be saving up those then, i do play every single day until i can't grind anymore but i do care about saving time long term so yeah, i guess i'll be picking something that doesn't costs electronics

[eternal basalt]

Don't forget you get choice boxes for the last 2 stages of both normal and hard arbiter. You might have a bunch of them in your inventory.

[digital pivot]

Does Isla drop on every material map (like Klaudia was) or is she just on the last one? I'd check the AL EN wiki for the event but the page is still being "updated" lmao

[crimson glacier]

drops on all

[digital pivot]

Okay cool, that just means I've been unlucky too, ty!

[robust nymph]

how did this happen? mid fight-nobody died

[crimson glacier]

thats how the bosses are in opsi

[obtuse island]

you lost the fight even if nobody died

[robust nymph]

timer ran out?

[stark quiver]

yea

[robust nymph]

wth

[inland shoal]

That's the only way to lose without anyone dying yes

[obtuse island]

you only need to win a single battle to restore the resolve btw

[inland shoal]

Most bosses have some mobs on the side you can kill to restore resolve

[robust nymph]

can i leave go to port - formation - repair and if i click in this area again i dont have to do all over again here too right?

[stark quiver]

is that an abyssal?

[inland shoal]

If you are in an abyssal you can't leave, but you can do this

[robust nymph]

its this guy

[sinful escarp]

thats why you have other fleets. so if that happens you can still fight and not leave the zone

[robust nymph]

aight ill destroy an other mob ship

[ivory pawn]

It's not an abyssal btw, it's the pre-Arbiter boss.

Idk if you can leave those, try tapping the overview map and see if it gives a prompt.

[robust nymph]

so my fleet is not good enough to do arbiter?

[stark quiver]

if you leave then the boss is gone lol
fight the enemy on the side

oh lmfao its not an abyssal?

[inland shoal]

Especially at first you'll need more than 1 fleet to defeat it. But even just damaging it has good rewards

[ivory pawn]

Komi's doing the practice tests.

[hushed sorrel]

if its arbiter you can go repair as many time as you need (as long as its not the hard one)

[ivory pawn]

But as for Arbiter, you can leave, heal, and return until you beat them.

[stark quiver]

ah, been years since ive done one

[inland shoal]

But it looks like you already entered with low resolve, that's bad. I think you should be able to leave and come back for even the practice arbiters tho, just not for hard Arbiter

[robust nymph]

ye i killed a mob and then finished boss, it was low

[stark quiver]

nice

[eternal basalt]

It might reset the whole thing, seeing it's a mission map Just throw 4 fleets at it

[robust nymph]

guess i can leave

wait this is actually hard.. i thought 2 random decent fleets were enough just like in pratice.. guess i need to go back to port and actually form 3 good fleets

[eternal basalt]

You are fighting the actual Arbiter now?

[robust nymph]

yea

how does uni do more damage..

[eternal basalt]

You can leave it, and damage done to him sticks... just for the normal Arbiter though.

[hushed sorrel]

even if the 4th fleet isnt a good one there is no penalty having 4 fleets in opsi

[robust nymph]

ok this makes opsi at least a bit interesting, guess ill spend some time putting gear on many ships and then trying it

it'd be extremely boring to just constantly leave and requeue

[crimson glacier]

the harder stuff doesnt let you leave either so

for that you dont really have a choice

[eternal basalt]

You can leave, it just heals

[crimson glacier]

yeah for harbiter, for abyssal if you cant beat it then thats kinda just it

[robust nymph]

best working trio for boss would be warspite/enty/zenker?

[hollow gust]

well that nano if mlb

[robust nymph]

i have 5 ur bulins but im holding them (not for any particular reason)

[hollow gust]

have yout not gotten any of the recent URS??

[robust nymph]

i started back 1.5 months ago

and played i thin around 2-3 months in 2018

[obtuse island]

independence or saratoga for mobbing

[robust nymph]

its only one boss

ill try with this

2nd fleet probably has negative damage

its gonna heal the boss..

[sand wigeon]

In gunna commit a crime I keep rolling other collab characters other than the one I still don't have

[eager mulch]

ok but this is gameplay help

[robust nymph]

on hood left one is still best option?

assume everything +10

and i suppose this is also worth

[hollow gust]

did you not buy white shell?

[robust nymph]

other slot is whitew shell already

[robust nymph]

if yes ill get it to +10 rq

[forest palm]

the FCR exists if you lack the black shell, or HSFCR

[robust nymph]

the black shell +10 is in my inventory taking dust thats why i just equipped it instead of the fcr. but i remember someone saying the fcr is good on hood thats why idk if its a good trade off

[stark quiver]

more hit stat

[forest palm]

Type 91 Shell + FCR is the basic poverty setup, White Shell along either HSFCR or Black Shell is the next step above that

[woven star]

Formidable is a good ship. Sadly she is low level

[robust nymph]

wait is she? i actually like her design but stopped leveling her cause i got told she was bad

[forest palm]

wouldn't exactly call her good by today's standards

it's in her name too Formidable

[hollow gust]

No shes not , she was mediocre as fuck even back then

[forest palm]

back then we were arguing over Ark and Formi

[woven star]

She definitely better Akagi and Kaga. If ignoring her one skill her composition with F/DB+TB+TB better then illustrious

[viscid swift]

being better than those 3 really isn't a high bar

[forest palm]

that's very apples to oranges right there

[robust nymph]

[eager mulch]

both are good fruit imo
