[tropic tusk]

Oh wait U mean UR bulins on the perma UR ships

[hollow sail]

as long as you can secure enough to MLB new URs

[tropic tusk]

No save for the next UR instead

[silk sphinx]

If you’re caught up and active though sure go ahead

[hollow sail]

in a quick fashion

[stark quiver]

save what

[silk sphinx]

7 eq of ur bulin plus no need to lb reruns means you’re comfortably at positive income of ur bulins

[stark quiver]

i am 100% active

[tropic tusk]

Make sure U have at least enough to MLB 2 new UR then the excess can use on perma

[hollow sail]

considering there may be double URs at points, you may want to retain the ability to get 7 quickly

[stark quiver]

im 50 from perma, but i also kinda get kron up faster

so like copy + 2 bulins instead of 3 bul

[silk sphinx]

I mean, nowadays we can get 5k + 3k spec core from medal shop plus 1 ur bulin per two month plus at least one from each ur event

Even for say 4 new ur events and 4 ur reruns that’s like 38 ur bulins for just 8 ships even if all double ur

They’ll be fine

[stark quiver]

so ill be fine throwing 3 URins at kron?

[silk sphinx]

Honestly yeah sure

We do have anni soon but it’ll be a new month

That said since it is perma don’t be in a rush to mlb everyone

I don’t retire any ur dupes I get, and at this point I have an lb 2 musashi, nj, shinano, kron and lb1/0 etc

[stark quiver]

yea just calced it, ill have 4 excess and 2 from august + 2 from setp

thxnka lixxy and gph

[quartz breach]

Is there any benefit beyond sortie buffs for activating all of the "Power Core" things on the Materials stages?

[stark quiver]

i think event pt missions

[silk sphinx]

That for the yumia one? You get a random extra gear skin for each completed one

Not super useful but

Completing all the needed alchemy you’ll be at around 16k event currency so you’ll have extra mats if you grind more

[quartz breach]

Yeah I made all the fancy furniture, I just want to get the purple-rarity augment module stones now.

[upbeat isle]

Are the Atelier Ryza good to make a fleet out of? I don't play the pvp unless for BP progress. Was curious in the line of story/hard mode amd event levels. If anyone has any info on a good only Iron Blood setup as well I can post what I have if anyone has any tips. Thank you for any help provided.

[glossy granite]

Yo guys, poverty setup for U37, U81 and U96?

[empty bloom]

Is there currently a way to get Perseus

[hollow sail]

she's permanently added to special construction. not worth deliberately pursuing her

[glossy granite]

Tier list syndrome lol

[hollow sail]

atelier ryza (the rerun event) are decent gold ships, none are particularly notable besides klaudia though, which is a good healer but unicorn is generally considered superior and everyone has unicorn so yeah. atelier yumia (new event) ships are a bit better than the old ones, but don't exactly change the meta and they don't synergize with the atelier ryza ships since they are considered a separate faction

[glossy granite]

Im still looking for a decent setup of U37, U81 and U96 🤔

[upbeat isle]

Thank you for the info. Uni has collected a little dust for a while now sadly. Mainly due to me trying to figure out a good Iron Blood fleet.

[hollow sail]

submarines are quirky and generally people don't give much thought to what toss on them until they can actually get their hands on gold torps due to them not really being needed until you reach hard content, by which point you'd have better gear

if you only have purples, i guess g7es are what you'd probably go for

[stark quiver]

6 bidders
hull design and snorkel

[hollow sail]

he said "poverty"

[tropic tusk]

He said decent

[hollow sail]

he said poverty in his first message

[stark quiver]

what about it isnt poverty
6 bidders are piss easy to get, just takes time
if you cant get snorkels and hull desgs yet, then just run oxytorps or something

[hollow sail]

it is easy to get, but the semantics of "poverty" isn't really the point of contention; i presume the question was asked due to a want for submarine use without having gold gear

[vague oracle]

need help with the gears

[stark quiver]

she she fate sim 5

[vague oracle]

almost there to 5

[stark quiver]

then for now use

[brazen lotus]

Bloody u552 gets mvp an embarassing amount of times for being 30 lvls lower with trash gear

Shes gonna be scary all kitted out

As far as gear goes basically always snorkle unless oxy skill, and hull design unless it also messes with skills

Right

[stark quiver]

unless a skill doesnt require it

[lavish scroll]

If i use gouden and i put meowfficer that has destiny skill does she get negative luck?

also if she had negative luck there is any effect of my gameplay?

[hollow sail]

there is an effect, but it doesn't matter much

luck is used for some calculations

[lavish scroll]

like crit, drop rate on commision or what?

[hollow sail]

used for crit rate and hit rate

and evasion (it's just the hit rate formula but on you)

the luck lost by destiny does not really matter

[warped acorn]

theres a albacore in my pvp shop should i buy it

[noble pawn]

If you don't need bullins for right now, yessss

[dreamy blade]

only if you have flasher who was event limited

[stark quiver]

is anyone here tankier than portland

[noble pawn]

None

[stark quiver]

well thats not good....

[vale spindle]

Haguro is the only tank there

Shes like portland ish as a tank thats basically it from ur list

[hollow sail]

bolzano meta

slightly inferior stats but has zombie skill

[stark quiver]

oh i do have decent tanks

[hollow sail]

if using only for one battle and no skills leveled portland might still be slightly superior idk, can't be bothered to math

[slow fox]

I recall

Haguro is like 100.01%

[hollow sail]

recalled wrong 🥶

[slow fox]

mutsuki

[dreamy blade]

if you do haguro first it makes the rest of them tankier

[muted crescent]

is it worth buying Noshiro from Merit shop or I wait for Eldridge to show up (I don’t have her retro item)

[vale spindle]

wait for eld cause if u really want noshiro you can guarantee her from war archives

[hollow sail]

i'd rather buy a gold from merit than tread through possibly 60 warchives runs honestly

you could buy eld preemptively but you don't need to start caring this early probably

[marble heart]

What should a shikikan frozen in 2021 do to catch up with whatever the hell the game has turn into in the past 6 years

[vale spindle]

first read the wiki
next consult various guides but also just do stuff cause you learn by doing the combat stuff hasnt really changed since 2021 its just mew ships

and equips

[vale spindle]

You should put all your attention on the current events before any other game contents outside dailies cause event is important

[marble heart]

Aight

[cobalt robin]

warspite revived in 2025

[marble heart]

Holy shit to say that I'm overwhelmed by this screen would be an extremely gross understatement everything is so new

I still used sortie meta from 2018 as well

[cobalt robin]

Collect everything in handbook and homecoming

[rapid shard]

as someone who just started that menu is living hell to learn

[plain saffron]

Now change back to old UI

[cobalt robin]

you'll get used to it, I'm also a returning player

[marble heart]

The blocky orange one? Yeah I missed that and the old lobby music

[plain saffron]

Everything is fine except the swappable tile at the bottom

[marble heart]

Lemme just settle in to familiarize myself with the UI at the moment

Also is the basic Kizuna AI ship still meta I guess not

[sinful escarp]

she is not

[hollow sail]

was she ever

game changed a lot since back then. ships are much much stronger

[marble heart]

She's okay back then

[sinful escarp]

hmm since you are a returnee from that way back, i recommend going for pr4 anchorage for a reliable tank

on second though just do pr8 mecklenburg first

[hollow sail]

meck will take long while to fully research

[sinful escarp]

so will the others. he is from 2021 so he is also starting from 0 on pr4

[hollow sail]

but we are comparing a coinable PR with an uncoinable DR here...

[sinful escarp]

hmmm forgot about that...

[hollow sail]

getting anch/avp asap is pretty valid imo

[sinful escarp]

then yeah going ancho>avp is better imo

[hollow sail]

i mean he can and should stick to PR7 or PR8 research, just that the ships he should be unlocking first are just those PR4 ones or at least other strong ones from PR4 onward that are coinable

[sinful escarp]

i would say to do pr8. since back then there were barely any sardine ships and np ships.
he will have an easier time getting the fleet tech to research pr8

[marble heart]

Aight

Let me just relearn how to walk baiscally

[narrow kiln]

Where does the Ordnance Testing Report drop most often, besides Arbiters?

[hollow sail]

C4 and C5 abyssals can drop gold ordnance, and one guaranteed from C6

besides that you just have to hope to get lucky from cat nodes

[narrow kiln]

Thanks.

[cobalt robin]

guaranteed from c6 cat node?

[short blade]

is it okay to ask for pve teambuilding suggestions here?

joined for the ryza event three days ago and feel like I hit a bottleneck.

[cobalt robin]

this is the channel for everything gameplay help or questions you might have

[hushed sorrel]

the sole exception is pvp which has another channel

[hollow sail]

no, C6 abyssal

[cobalt robin]

pvp exists?

[cobalt robin]

sadge 😔

[hollow sail]

possible cat node rewards don't change with area

only thing that matters is the rarity/level of your cats

[short blade]

I~ probably have questions about what makes equipment good.
-# But i feel like a good place to start is to ask about what teams you'd recommend from my roster

[cobalt robin]

I have sr cats but sadly only lvl 19 and below, I have one elite cat at lvl 30

[short blade]

I dont really get the different class of ships tbh. I probobly missed a tutorial somewhere.

[cobalt robin]

Uni, Nina, Saratoga
portland, laffey, reisa

You can get portland and uni from guild shop

[hollow sail]

for guns/torps it's the particulars of each, at least for torp we can say that the gold quad magnetic torps are always good though, so you can use those

[cobalt robin]

Retrofit unicorn tales priority

Idk if there's any bb in guild shop as well so that's why Nina

Oh yea Helena is also in guild shop, a must buy

[cobalt robin]

I think you replied to wrong message

[hollow sail]

nah he asked what equipment is good

[cobalt robin]

Oh yea above that

[short blade]

portland is good...? i didnt expect to hear that about a blue unit

[cobalt robin]

She's a good early game tank

[hollow sail]

for aux gear, generally:

DDs want high HP aux (always 1 toolbox on mob fleets)
CL wants HP/eva aux (usually also always 1 toolbox on mob)
CA/CB like eva a lot (toolbox on mob still alright, but boss fleets like 2 eva aux)
CV, just equip catapults as aux everywhere for campaign except select few cases way later on
BB wants accuracy and firepower aux (radars and white shells usually, if you don't have gold ones equip purple ones for now)

[short blade]

Ima be honest. I forgot this menu existed

[slow fox]

Apparently, CL also eva/eva. The line between eva/hp and eva/eva is more DD-like than CL-like.

[cobalt robin]

Finish uni's retro as soon as possible

She's the best healer in the game

[hollow sail]

CL have a pretty wide stat distrib but yeah, however if it's mob that toolbox will always be quite nice

[rapid shard]

Im working on her retro right now. is there any realiable way to get the purple parts? or is it just RNG from hard nodes

[slow fox]

-# For mob I always recommend 1 toolbox tehe

[cobalt robin]

rng, the only guaranteed prints are from the hard mode clear missions

[hollow sail]

sandy has 4.1k HP, but ply has 5.7k

some DD toe the line already also for HP/eva like felix

[rapid shard]

I got golds covered to finish just needing 2 purps and shes fully retrod. After her who is next highest prio for retro? ive got most the rares and san diego is most notable SR

[cobalt robin]

You can craft blue prints into purples, next in line would be Portland → starter

For more I would need to see your dock

[rapid shard]

ill post in a sec

[short blade]

I take it this uni character was under the thing i redeemed on a whim

[hollow sail]

portland use also under the consideration that you retro her. since she's fairly cheap, and her stats are ok

her skills are not good, she's just used for having half-decent stats and being cheap

[short blade]

i see...

[hollow sail]

well you do have LB2 ryza

and according to @slow fox she is 98.6% as tanky as portland

[cobalt robin]

I'll be busy in about 5 mins but other peeps will help you

[hollow sail]

so maybe, you could use her

[rapid shard]

This is what

Discord being stupid not letting me post them together

[hollow sail]

sandy is also good but keep your bulin consumption in mind. her retro is very expensive, but you can build her aug and she's already got some value with it

[hollow sail]

also start buying those gold plates

buy plane/gun ones, 3/2 ratio is fine, or just go all on planes

[rapid shard]

im currently tossed up on focusing sandy laffey or portland next after uni is done

[hollow sail]

then refresh shop and do it again. buying those plates is very very important, always do it

don't buy limited ships like you did before

none of those ships are good and are largely a waste of guild tokens

they are always there, so you're not missing out on anything

[cobalt robin]

Sandy mlb will be helpful but retro is very expensive and you won't get the full value until like w13 so do that later

Warspite mlb will do fine until then and her retro plus augment make her into an actual ur bb

[rapid shard]

for BBs im running New Jersey and Mass with 3rd kinda still being determined. Should i focus on laffey or port before Warspite?

[cobalt robin]

is your nj mlb?

and yes retro and mlb port and laffey first

[rapid shard]

Not yet. just gotten one copy right now.

[cobalt robin]

I gtg tho, hopefully someone else picks up after me

[hollow sail]

warspite retro is equally as expensive as sandy retro, each requires 3 bulins

[rapid shard]

Thanks

[hollow sail]

wait until tomorrow before using any bulins on them

[short blade]

Hmm. You recommended pitting ryza in that team... But wouldn't it be better to leave her with the other collab units to generate ap?

-# we do need to make multiple squads right? I haven't been wasting resources?

[hollow sail]

warspite and sandy are both medal shop ships so they can show up on monthly medal shop where you can potentially buy copies of them

[rapid shard]

Yeah im not using any bulins on anything at the moment. right now farming 3-4 for 2 more corsair blueprints and gaining some levels on new pick ups

[hollow sail]

she's already LB2 and she's basically portland or better so i see her as potentially usable

you already have some levels on her. but you need to be careful since you don't seem to have much bulins right now

check medal shop for any you might be able to buy, or merit shop

[random rain]

hello! trying to finish w13 hard. I don't have guam. who is a good tank substitute for the boss fleet that has okay aa? Do I just use cheshire instead?

[hollow sail]

also about using multiple fleets, 1 fleet can tolerate at least up to world 9 pretty easy, and even beyond that, just might take a little bit more grinding or the occasional usage of the manual mode

[short blade]

The thing i want to clear is the ryza collab more than the main "story".

I'm under the impression that if a squad runs out of ammo you cant use them... But never tried lol

[hollow sail]

yeah, sticking with event for now is good

the levels are not too high. you can use out of ammo fleets, but you deal 50% less damage

[wind hazel]

just use a tank, let the other 5 ships worry about the AA

[hollow sail]

well since you are very new you might struggle a bit

but that's normal

[random rain]

okay cool, thanks!

[short blade]

That's pretty harsh... The ryza squad i was using crushed the lvl 50 map but got deleted pretty easy on the lvl 60

Does unicorn become a good healer or smth?

[slow fox]

Mebot approved

[hollow sail]

best healer in the game

used on every mob fleet by everyone, pretty much...

unfortunately she doesn't have real competition

[slow fox]

-# My OpSi mob fleet has RaffBrest

[short blade]

-# i was under the impression that this class was a healer

Doesnt really know that the different classes are

[hollow sail]

they are healers

[wind hazel]

there are good healers.

and there are bad healers.

[hollow sail]

just not good ones. they are very outdated and never used except some very very very specific shit that veteran players do to maximize their leveling on other ships lol

[hushed sorrel]

atleast akashi is somewhat cooler and has more character, but ppl say she isnt a good healer

[rapid shard]

For doing the event to clear shop i cant fully clear the T5 spot so should i just keep running T4?

[hollow sail]

akashi isn't even worth acquiring. i haven't acquired akashi in my current account because the game wants me to go back to world 1 for her missions, and i'm not about to bend to getting less core data just for that (and that's with all the hard mode slacking i already do, lol)

[short blade]

Assuming I actually build uni this team would be good then?

[hollow sail]

don't bother with serri

stick with sara, and retro her whenever you are able to

[wind hazel]

dont bother with lila either

[hollow sail]

same with lila, not really good

[narrow kiln]

There's just a Unicorn.
And there's Akashi, which works like 4 AA guns and a toolkit

[short blade]

I started like 3 days ago so I dont have much stuff to do much retrograding.

[rapid shard]

Im in same boat

[hollow sail]

no problem. just use sara normally for the meanwhile

[hushed sorrel]

there are a few semi-healer as well who can also fight

[hollow sail]

you'll retro her when you can. do hard mode, >=W3 hard mode specifically since gold prints only start dropping at W3, and keep an eye on shops for retro prints also

and don't forget about those gold plates either, always buy those, highest priority of everything you'll be very glad later

they are the most important resource in the game and you can never have too many of them

[rapid shard]

For doing hard mode is there a specfic node to run or just anything past W3

For retro prints

[hushed sorrel]

highest you can or trying to max star them all

[hollow sail]

each stage drops a specific hull's blueprints. and the higher the world the more core data you get

-1 will drop DD prints, -2 will drop cruiser, -3 BB prints and -4 carrier prints

[short blade]

-# potentially dumb question but what should i go for first on unicorn stuff.

[rapid shard]

So while focusing on Uni just do the -4s till shes done? does the #W effect the rarirty?

[wind hazel]

everything

[short blade]

• does the AVI stat increase plane reload time or damage?

[wind hazel]

w3 above starts dropping gold, but you wanna do highest because you get higher core data as well

[wind oxide]

@sweet delta when you equip granshine on yumia does it replaces a preequipped AA gun or she gets two aa guns?

[hollow sail]

you want to do everything but going from left to right is technically more important so you can get to the modernization node

[wind hazel]

you will get everything before you can even reach lv90 for retrofit, dont worry just unlock everything

[rapid shard]

Thanks, im short 2 purples to finish her and wasnt sure if W# effected rarity drop rate

[hollow sail]

as far as we know the print drop rate doesn't change, it's just for the core data

most important early on because each world increases the core data by 2

[boreal wagon]

it replaces whatever aa shed normally have, which is either the one you equipped or the default aa if you dont equip any

[hollow sail]

going from 10 to 12 is more impactful than 20 to 22

[inland shoal]

(Plus you have core data to spare later on anyway)

[hollow sail]

granshine grants a +10 roomba that replaces any other AA gun she might have equipped

this obviously means yumia is british

[wind oxide]

Ohh thanks

[brazen lotus]

Not sure what guns to aim for on my z crew, are the 130s worth it, or just hold out for rainbows or somethin? Current gear, hedgehog instead of extinguisher tho

[inland shoal]

Triple Z fleet isn't great
The main gun on Z46 is decent, the others are bad
The torps are worse than the quad version
The AA guns on Z1 and Z23 are bad but with 3 Zs it's kinda whatever anyway
There's better HP auxes than Pearl and FE

[hollow sail]

is that Z1 retro and aug

[brazen lotus]

Ah I thought they were good accelerator aa, since 46 is the only one with good efficency. Yarp, might give z23 another 128 and call it a day

[hollow sail]

it's not that bad to use gerats in this situation but maybe others would be better. more likely to be if you have aug Z1 also

Z2 has mega shit AA, Z1 has "just" bad AA. if aug Z1 then gold bofors at least on Z1 i would say, if not regardless of aug. assuming you don't already have better. could maybe just post gear

[brazen lotus]

I only got 2 gold pom poms and 2 ironblood ones on my bbs to be replaced by stags lol

Roomba to be replaced by sex boof eventually

[hollow sail]

when you say ironblood you mean the gold SKC right

[brazen lotus]

Yea the 105 base gold

[red hawk]

for poverty gearing does it matter much whether I use roomba or the standard bomfors

[hollow sail]

assuming you mean purple roomba and bofors, it dosn't matter too much. it irks me a bit to use 3 roomba though, reload is quite slow, i would personally stick to 1 roomba max rest bofors, but 3 gold roombas has been shown to work in several environments (on high level ships at least)

especially if you don't have particularly good accelerators for your main fleet (STAAG)

if your reload is super slow you might really not ever get a second shot at many planes early on. opsi can actually apply some plane pressure on you early on

i sure know about that, going all into opsi as soon as i could with bad AA guns, even the relatively minute amount of opsi planes compared to your "plane" campaign chapters was quite painful for a bit

[brazen lotus]

Thats why I run the dummy torps atm, just save up the barrages and shotgun carriers asap lol

[hollow sail]

you most likely have better DD guns though

some of the purple ones are better, and other golds

[hollow sail]

you're kind of in a bind for Z2 because there isn't really any good AP guns to give her besides the one you already have on Z46

[brazen lotus]

Tryin to farm a bagette gun atm but thats going to emden

[hollow sail]

the gun that upgrades into the gold SKC (the purple twin 128mm) is the only other AP gun that is ""viable"", but it's quite bad against light armor. the purple twin 120mm is considered an alright transitional DD gun. a lot better against light armor, but inferior against medium and heavy than the aforementioned

these low tier guns already don't deal much damage against medium and heavy anyway so that is often not super important

so twin 120mm is probably what i would use on Z2 (and Z1 for that matter) in the meanwhile. if you have spare sakura gold tech boxes, maybe you could also find a gold twin 100mm which is also decent, matching or slightly better than the twin 120mm depends on your FP stat and AoA kinda

i am just assuming you are low on resources and maybe not the best idea to invest in another 128m SKC

if you are super committed to using Zs, i guess it wouldn't be that bad though. but that'd come from your own personal choice

[brazen lotus]

Hmm sounds good, the 128 was my first gear lab craft

[hollow sail]

if you see yourself using Z2 longer term and not because of wanting a necessarily good or meta fleet, then you could go ahead with making another one, that's about it

it's honestly not expensive anyway

SR plans are not the stopgap in terms of resources. everyone eventually has more of those than they can spend

[brazen lotus]

A man can dream

Ty for the explanations, gold 100s would be a lot easier than 130s anyway

[hollow sail]

the resources you mainly have to watch out for are the gold military electronics, gold ordnance and anything rainbow, those are stopgaps in your equips because either all the very good gear needs them to be crafted or they come in particular short supply

if it just costs 3 SR plans like the twin 128mm SKC and no electronics then it's pretty cheap all things considered. just keep in mind what else you might want if you're very new

[zenith heron]

Also to note that UR Ordinances can be crafted from too much Gold Ordinances if you are in OPSI for a while now...

[quick grotto]

Question, would it be better vouchers wise to use the hidden coordinate loggers or let them be traded in? Or would it depend on the level?

[sharp comet]

just use em. you'll have more than enough to buy out the reset shop if you dont overcap your opsi oil daily

[inland shoal]

Iirc 2 and 3 aren't rly worth doing

[hollow sail]

2 considered not worth, 3 is still good

[forest palm]

2 gives basically no vouchers whatsoever

[hollow sail]

you can get cat nodes on that, i wouldn't pass that. i've gotten gold plates from it. and it's not like you'll have many of them anyway

2 though skip, pointless

[forest palm]

if it's for end of the month crunch sure, but you can just incorporate them early on in the month

[hollow sail]

it honestly doesn't really matter if you do them or not because you'll have like 3 tops lol...

[quick grotto]

I only have 9k vouchers worth of turn in so I'm trying to squeeze out every last one. And I've been draining my AP daily.

[forest palm]

I just value the mat potential over the like 5 vouchers it'd give you which is the equivalent of a droplet of water

[wicked obsidian]

Is there any guide/photo on Atelier Yumina charecter.... Which gear to put on who???

[sharp comet]

these are the conversion rates

[forest palm]

that is correct

[hollow sail]

that's the ""wrong"" way to look at it, it's not the mats, it's the AP. that precious 30 AP, that you didn't use on those 3 C2 loggers, for those two precious C3 secured runs, that give you a miracle cat node and a 510 AP akashi

[forest palm]

30 AP over the course of a month is nothing, at the end of the month where you have to purge ap kits sure

[hollow sail]

AP is AP, you can always optimize it

you either have that AP or you don't. what you don't use to open zones, you'll use at the end to burn, etc

[forest palm]

again it isn't wrong to gamble on mat potential either over 10 vouchers

[hollow sail]

over the vouchers yes

extra daily strat is also underutilized

can actually net a pretty solid amount of extra materials

[forest palm]

though it may all just be moot if you have the logger to just auto Hidden Zones in which case you'll end up doing 2s regardless

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Detection Level:
If the gauge hasn't been filled, your carriers gains "hidden buff", which is 10% flat AA resistance reduction to enemies (basically they deal more dmg) and they can't be chosen as a valid target (enemies BB won't attack your CV when hidden).
If the gauge has been filled, there will be an exclamation mark (!) displayed to the side of the gauge, and your carriers lose the "hidden buff". They will regain the buff when the gauge level falls below the red line.
The gauge will be slowly filled if spotted by the enemy (both planes and ships) if they crossed the detection line, when they are burning, and when launching an airstrike.

wasn't tolls of war you need to regroup and rest

[wind oxide]

[inland shoal]

Or remove it at a port

[forest palm]

ToW is removed from repairing a ship at port, it has little wrenches to indiciate it

[woeful sluice]

I just looked it up on the wiki and it said fleet deployment, regroup and rest and repair at a port

[inland shoal]

Yeah fleet deployment basically is a "free" regroup and rest. But can only be done in a port

[forest palm]

that's resolve

[wind oxide]

I must be sleep deprived

[noble pawn]

isn't that low resolve

[woeful sluice]

so just winning a few battles should do the trick?

[inland shoal]

Broken triangle is low resolve, wrenches on ship icons on the left is tolls of war

[noble pawn]

one battle for each fleet

[cobalt robin]

No one battle recovers resolve for everyone

[inland shoal]

Winning one battle with any fleet restores it for all your fleets

[woeful sluice]

gotcha, thanks a lot y'all

[twin isle]

Got all skins except Nina

[cobalt robin]

you need help with sum?

[twin isle]

Lol, I'm not that rich, there are real whales here, consider me as casual buyer

[forest palm]

#al-general

[twin isle]

Sorry

[noble pawn]

need sum help with deez nuts

[cobalt robin]

No, I meant if you need help with something gameplay related

[twin isle]

I opened discord it set the channel here

[leaden quest]

Sorry there any active codes in the game now?

[cobalt robin]

We got none

[leaden quest]

🥹

[twin isle]

I didn't notice it was gameplay-help my bad 😔

[rose whale]

I maxed these cores, what should I grind now? 😓

[wind oxide]

whatever
doesnt matter if you've built all items

[rapid eagle]

Okay people my homie made an AL guild but he can’t rank me
Bruddanem has 5k tokens but game keeps giving him the “need 100 tokens message”
Someone know why?

[forest palm]

TS5 till 55k milestone? like if youre done with crafting and mat gathering just push for 55k milestone

[rose whale]

thanks 👍

[inland shoal]

Wdym he can't rank you?

[lofty zodiac]

Ts1 or ts5 is the same no?

[forest palm]

TS5 drops the shop ship

[rapid eagle]

He has 5k guild tokens
But when he tries to rank me the game keeps giving the message that he needs 100 tokens

[undone plover]

U mean make you an officer?

[rapid eagle]

I think so

[undone plover]

There is universal guild tokens

Not his specific ones
U probably need more ppl contributing to the guild fund
Altho I didnt know making an officer costs anything

Look at the top

[inland shoal]

Iirc all the TS stages do

[rapid eagle]

We just made it today and it’s just the both of us in the guild
So yea
No funds put in yet

[undone plover]

U can try and make a post in #1246721562741178410
Hopefully enough ppl join u soon

[lofty zodiac]

I drop the ship from TS2 so think all TS can drop it

[forest palm]

more ya know

[wind oxide]

yes all mat maps drop the SR ship ♿

[rich stump]

Is there any video of showing every button that the skin has

[wind oxide]

https://www.youtube.com/@RyumaBrunestud
this guy showcases skins and maybe you can see from here

[rapid shard]

With the shop resetting in 1d is there anything I should grab before then? Cant get the bulin yet.

[ivory pawn]

That part of the shop doesn’t reset.

If you haven’t yet, maybe pick up 20 season 3 gold prints for Champagne gun.

Or at least 5 so you can get one next month.

[rapid shard]

Twin 234s? And I dont have champagne yet tho

[ivory pawn]

Then pick up some season 3 prints. At least 5, ideally 20.

[rapid shard]

Referring to these right? Sorry still pretty new to this

[slow schooner]

what's generally considered easier - strongholds or corrosion 6 abyssal?

[noble pawn]

Tigercat or Flapjack?

[viscid swift]

Flapjack

[noble pawn]

Stronghold. Corrosion 6 abyssal is hell for me

[wind oxide]

you can tap in and out of stronghold to go to a port and heal♿

[viscid swift]

depends really on your criteria, you can leave strongholds freely though, and you can't with abyssals

[ivory pawn]

Those are ship prints. The ones I’m talking about should be at the bottom.

[noble pawn]

I just cleared 2 Stronghold in span of 2 hour today

[slow schooner]

oh damn that's good to know

and i assume you have to pay 200 ap each time you come back?

[noble pawn]

Nope. free to enter again

[slow schooner]

nice, thanks

[rapid shard]

I see now with the post above. Will those 406s be good for ships other than champagne?

[viscid swift]

we don't call them Champagne guns because they're just good on Champagne

[ivory pawn]

Best anti heavy BB gun. Well, second best now, but it’s gonna be so long before you have enough of the best you’ll get plenty of use out of them.

Good anti medium too.

[rapid shard]

Sounds like new jersey gonna get a new main gun then. Thanks for help

[noble pawn]

Taking 3 battle to defeat single C5 Abyssal is painful. I'm grinding levels right now are there any suggestion to my fleet? Really appreciate the help

[wind hazel]

+10 your gear, make a dedicated boss fleet for abyssals

you just need more level really

[noble pawn]

I knew it

[wind hazel]

turn on reduce TB guidance setting

[empty bloom]

What exactly does this do on the right side

[undone plover]

Upgrade 1 skill + add 15 luck

[empty bloom]

What the heck does luck do

Just hit more?

[undone plover]

Bunch of things but more dmg and more tanky basically

[noble pawn]

Boost EVA stats maybe?

[undone plover]

Not evasion stat bit it is part of the eva rate formula

For DR ships FS5 I think is 25 luck and 2 skills

[forest palm]

the skill upgrade for Anchor is meh, but the boost to luck is rather beneficial to a Cruiser for sure

[hardy creek]

Anyone got fleet recommendation for w14?

[tropic tusk]

go mori go

[wind hazel]

suggest you to get anchorage and agir, and maybe wait for eldridge retro item to rerun, it will make w14 much easier

maybe fdg too? idk how warspite 2025 in w14 mob

[viscid swift]

poorly that's how

[wind hazel]

can cope with kazan?

[stark quiver]

NI’m

No, get fdg
Also they’re not surviving with only Portland

Well room ig but

[viscid swift]

Mob: Kazan, Unicorn, Volga, San Diego, Trafalgar, De Zeven
Boss: Lion, Enterprise, Saratoga, Anchoage, Plymouth, Roon

[vague oracle]

Which is better

I have enough blueprints to make either 1

[hollow sail]

they serve completely different purposes

[viscid swift]

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

[late osprey]

Is there a guide for materials needed for the synthesize in the Atelier collab?

[hollow sail]

no and you don't need one

just run a bit of each stage and get everything crafted eventually

[inland shoal]

It's sth like every stage 10 times I believe

[civic prairie]

is it necessary to get yumia and is she good?

[hollow sail]

not necessary and she's decent

[inland shoal]

She's decent, but nothing amazing

[twilit rapids]

already hit my points goal, what’s the most morale efficient map for gear skins?

[viscid swift]

low cost T4

[sweet delta]

It's morale efficient because it uses fewer dorm slots

[forest palm]

just go back to 12-4

[rancid drift]

Are the G-xxx 4 hour 6k gold researches best of PR gear?

[sweet delta]

according to this source, this is how many times to farm each map for the collab-limited stuff (not augment exp stones)

[blazing pecan]

I have heard that Cheshire is a main tank, but she is taking a lot more damage than I would like. For world 13, is there a better royal navy ship that I can replace her with, or would switching her position solve my worries?

[wind hazel]

the issue is the triple bb

use 2 CV and it will be fixed

and maybe they could use more levels too

[blazing pecan]

Cheshire is taking a lot more damage than the BBs, my triple AA vanguard protects them quite well. If I just need to level them though I can try doing that. My mobbing fleet has much more CV presence

[viscid swift]

are you clearing for the first time or?

[blazing pecan]

I am able to auto farm 13-2 without much trouble

I havent tried 13-3 yet

[viscid swift]

the fleet sucks honestley for W13

1. ships should be level 120 at a minimum and gear +10
2. your ACV and recon are in the gutter using 3 BBs and not 3 particularly good BBs at that
3. obligatory faction fleet is a self imposed handicap

[blazing pecan]

I should level them more, yes. This is my boss fleet, so they only need to last a couple battles. I have observed that the very high AA of my vanguard is enough to carry through. The partial faction fleet is for Howe, I made sure to limit it to that so I could stick sandy and shimanto in there. Cheshire just takes too much damage and sometimes dies

This might change at 13-3 though

[viscid swift]

do you know how level advantage works on AL?

also I would be very concerned if the boss fleet has to do more fights than just the boss

[blazing pecan]

It doesnt always

[viscid swift]

not to mention difficulty for the bosses ramps up a decent bit for 13-3 and 13-4

[blazing pecan]

That right there is a major concern and a reason for me to switch things up

[viscid swift]

if you're sometimes dying in 13-2, you're 100% dying in 13-3 and 13-4

[blazing pecan]

I suppose my question now is do I keep howe and switch out the other two BBs for some carriers, or keep hood and do the same thing?

[viscid swift]

I don't know what you have to work with

[empty bloom]

Currently grinding 3-4, should I be doing the 2x oil consumption and 3x sortie? Or do I need to defeat literally every mob to get the purple toolkit drops?

[viscid swift]

you should not be grinding 3-4

[empty bloom]

Oop

[viscid swift]

if you're not done farming the event go do that, if you are push the main campaign

[empty bloom]

I’m as far as I can get in the main, I can’t get past 9-4

[viscid swift]

and if you really wanna farm for toolboxes, just open more tech boxes

[viscid swift]

then farm in the event or 9-4 or any map with an oul cap to get levels instead of wasting oil in 3-4

[empty bloom]

Okay ty

[blazing pecan]

This is the majority of my cv collection. My guess is that i should switch out two BBs for illustrious and unicorn, but then I would need to restructure because those help with mobbing more i think

[viscid swift]

what about your battleships, and vanguards

[wind hazel]

uni indep mob, saratoga enterprise boss. level them up

or indep<>sara

[blazing pecan]

I can work with that

[viscid swift]

nah, we're redoing things from the ground up

because if your mob fleet isn't even capable of consistently taking care of all the mobs

that has issues as well

[silk helm]

this is able to clear w13?? i can't even do that yet

[wind hazel]

*struggling to clear

[blazing pecan]

Just up to 13-2

Give me a little bit and I will restructure

[viscid swift]

Howe can also perform just fine btw without the self buff

there are also plenty of better BBs than howe though

[wind hazel]

just noticed the shimanto isnt dev30 too

at least the CVs are taken care of, even has shinano, can triple cv mob

[blazing pecan]

Howe or Hood? or are their roles too different to compare them

[knotty dome]

i got everything from the first ryza collab. i crafted 1 of each equippable gear during this rerun. is there anything else i need?

[viscid swift]

Howe but honestley, got a gut feeling you have a better BB than both of them

[viscid swift]

you can get the augments again for 2 more augment module cores

[blazing pecan]

Hood consistently outperformed Sandy even, but then again sandy was underlevveled. I'll show my bbs rq

[viscid swift]

ok so a few things, one AA damage is counted in the endscreen results so they're not particularly gonna be accurate in AA heavy environments

[blazing pecan]

my bb collection is less stellar, NJ is probably my best one

[viscid swift]

get that NJ to level 120, say by to Hood, Howe, and Royal Oak

though actually
Mob: Saratoga, Independence, Unicorn,
Boss: NJ, Howe, Enterprise,

no idea what vanguards you have to work with

but as I said, whatever you use, push to level 120 first

every level you have over the enemy is 2% more dealt by your ships and 2% less damage taken by them up to 50%

however this can also work the other way if you're underleveled

[blazing pecan]

I have way too many vanguard ships. does cheshire tank and sandy off tank work for boss?

I'll figure out the middle guy in a sec

[viscid swift]

well what else have you got to work with?

[blazing pecan]

Helena retro, reno, Allen m sumner, Baltimore (severely underlevelled tho), swiftsure, scylla, eldridge (i cant retrofit her tho)

Everyone else has no AA or is in one of my op siren fleets or isnt mlb yet

[viscid swift]

you know that just Cheshire or San Diego is enough to carry your AA for W13 right?

also you can use ships simultaneously in campaign and opsi fleets

wow, tqvm

[blazing pecan]

This is the best I can do I think

[viscid swift]

do you not have Anchorage, Agir, Fredrich Carl, etc?

[blazing pecan]

I do not have those three ships

[viscid swift]

or any better tank for that matter

[blazing pecan]

Felix S, Minneapolis, Monteplier, Cheshire, Roon, Mainz, Brennus, and Prinz Heinrich are my tankiest ships

[viscid swift]

is Felix Dev 30?

[blazing pecan]

No xD

[viscid swift]

Sandy main tanks for the boss fleet, swap her and Shimanto

now all thats left is to make sure everything is properly leveled(120) and geared

https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment

[blazing pecan]

cool, thank you!

Am i going to want AP or HE ammo for boss fleet in w13?

[sweet delta]

For BBs it is AP

Assuming the AP guns aren't terrible like twin 380

[blazing pecan]

I got those french triple 406

that guide says they are very good

what about my vanguard?

[viscid swift]

the guide also has that

[sweet delta]

the French triple 406 are very good

[blazing pecan]

So is AP the ammo type for w13 boss?

[viscid swift]

for BB guns yes

[blazing pecan]

and what about for my vanguard

[empty bloom]

It says one day but around how many hours is it till the medal shop resets? Or does that mean it’s currently at a day and x hours and it’ll start actually counting down at less than a day

[sweet delta]

13-1 to 13-3 are medium, and 13-4 is heavy boss

[empty bloom]

I want Le Malin so bad I hope she’s in there

[sweet delta]

Vanguard guns aren't so clear cut on ammo types

[small linden]

Is there an up to date guide for Ch 15? I figured its about time I stop putting it off and clear it.

[hushed sorrel]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15

[small linden]

Thank you very much.

[charred grove]

Guys, in OPSI, how do I:

• Request Recon? it's grayed out for me.
• Get the 5th star in an area, a.k.a use the Siren logging tower?

[ivory pawn]

Request Recon is to clear the Fog of War. If no Fog, no Recon.
5th star can be a couple things, but the Logging tower specifically looks like the below. Is RNG to spawn, if you see it just Smash it and it counts.

[wind oxide]

https://youtu.be/2p50hpGY-cI?si=dZhWQJYYA1DGTTt3

Ideally you would be using just one of the event auxes so that yumia wouldn't cycle between them and make it inconsistent

[red hawk]

you don't want the one that combines for a different ability?

if you use both pieces?

[boreal wagon]

if u mean bubble bullet and genesis hammer they dont even work on yumia because she isnt a ryza character

[cobalt gate]

so do i get double material for yumia if i use the efficent boost?

[red hawk]

oh yeah that's right different gear diff events lol

[chrome lake]

Hey guys need help for ship pairings are there any list for good ship combos.

[viscid swift]

not that I know of

[grave venture]

Which ship is best

Can someone tell me

[red hawk]

get enty

[blazing pecan]

Heck yeah they did it

[red hawk]

Enterprise is the one everyone has told me to get

[grave venture]

I mean for damage

[red hawk]

it's not just about damage, it's about all it's stats

[blazing pecan]

definitely enterprise then

[grave venture]

Ok

[red hawk]

it's one of the best ones you can get for free like that

[grave venture]

What about taihou I have her

Lvl 80

[red hawk]

there's a tier list https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit?gid=1370253760#gid=1370253760

[sweet delta]

More expensive and weaker

[grave venture]

This is my fleet

[red hawk]

get that uni refit

[grave venture]

Ok I will use enterprise

What uni refit

[red hawk]

unicorn

hers is the first one you should do

also you may not want so many SRs in your first fleets

[grave venture]

I have her at 1 fleet

[red hawk]

that's gonna cost a lot of gold bulins to max

[grave venture]

I have these ssr characters

[red hawk]

and they're just generally more expensive

[grave venture]

I mean max out copies

5 star character

[blazing pecan]

Once upon a time, I also made the mistake of upgrading every single sr i ran into. Now I hunger for gold bulins

but this account is also 3-4 years old

[red hawk]

you should really be checking the tier list and stuff before just randomly upgrading ships

[grave venture]

Ok

Man

[red hawk]

like when I started I ended up making a new account, because I burned my pulls right away on the special builds and got a UR that was completely useless because I couldn't do anything with it for MLB. Not spreading resources wastefully is important

[charred grove]

Awesome, thank you so much!!!

[viscid swift]

Ibuki, Unzen

[last zenith]

my 2 favorites with kawakaze

[narrow kiln]

Is Albacore worth buy if I have Archerfish but no Flasher?
(Ideally, I wouldn't bother with it, since I don't have gear for them yet and couldn't buy any)

[dreamy blade]

no

[thorny basalt]

I shouldn't bother with the PR8 AA gun, CL gun, or torps right?

[forest palm]

all the gold gear in PR8 can be forgotten, outside of 1 copy of the CA gun

for Gouden

[thorny basalt]

I haven't looked at her very hard, does she want that gun or would you still just stick the Guam gun on her most of the time assuming it wasn't already in use elsewhere?

Oh wait she isn't a CB

I thought she was

I just saw CB gun so surely she can use CB guns, not just that one specifically

[spring basin]

what is the central foundation key for in the event ?

[verbal plinth]

Next lab UR I should focus?

[stark quiver]

twin 76 UR aa is good
another dd gun is also an option ig
but i prefer the former

[midnight bluff]

Did they already take away the rental skins?

[fallen jay]

So is there anyway of getting Golden Hind? I’m getting conflicting info online.

[viscid swift]

currently no

[short blade]

Yall told me lila and serri werent good but hows kala?

[viscid swift]

she's okay

[fallen jay]

I assume she’s a special event. Any idea of if it’ll ever be rerun?

[fallen jay]

She’s beautiful. She reminds me of Fauna if she had white hair

[viscid swift]

she kinda already reran, she'll get added to the perma pool eventually

[fallen jay]

NOOOOO!!! What about Owari?

[viscid swift]

hasn't rerun yet

[stark quiver]

yes rental skins are infact gone

[fallen jay]

Alright. I’m glad I made a lot of progress in Siren ops

It’ll be resetting in a few hours

[fiery swan]

Why, did they just expire or...?

[stark quiver]

check the events tab

[fiery swan]

They are gone, but why

[cobalt gate]

is there a way to set so auto doesn't pick up the glowing parts? for some reason they always seem to pick up the alarm 1st

[weary gust]

The auto in where? Opsi?

[stark quiver]

its been a week i think since event dropped

[midnight bluff]

Every1 keeps telling me you can make the synthesizers in the atelier yumia collab and use it for the missions in the atelier ryza collab. Like how? it doesnt even show up as counting for the missions on atelier ryza

[viscid swift]

you don't

there are a series of missions for crafting them in Yumina only in the event tab for some reason

[cobalt gate]

@weary gust yeah opsi

[weary gust]

So by "pick up the glowing parts" do you mean the reinforcement signals that spawn new enemies in hidden zones? If so, no, you cannot set auto to ignore them or change their target priority.

[cobalt gate]

nope just when clearing maps 1st time sometimes they have glow drops, but there are ones that have alarms and the alarm is always the closest so end up picking none of the rewards before trigger alarm cvausing them to dissapear

[weary gust]

The ocean debris nodes are sometimes enemies or duds, the auto knows which ones are materials and which ones are enemies/duds and ignores those.

[stark quiver]

how does shiranui augment work

[woeful sluice]

Is there a specific order in which events get added to the war archives?

[ivory pawn]

Usually release order.

[woeful sluice]

Then why was Aquilifier's Ballade released before Rondo at Rainbow's End?

[viscid swift]

"usually" being the keyword, the devs can for reasons only known to them change the order

[toxic tartan]

does fleet tech max out or does it just go on forever?

[robust nymph]

i need 99 tech to start kearsarge.. getting these 3 at 120 is not gonna be enough right

[hushed sorrel]

only the fractions tech max out at lv 9. the other stat boni can be stacked forever

[woeful sluice]

idk tbh try /fleettech in the bot-spam and there you can look up all the tech points you get for each shipgirl

[last zenith]

if you happen to retire a ship u have like retire it completely. does it remove the tech points you got from it

[robust nymph]

no

[last zenith]

perfect

[robust nymph]

can i go for this? i got 3k core data and honestly nothing to buy, and with reset next month (tomorrow) i should be fine with 2k

[vale spindle]

if you want sure

[hollow sail]

aren't you new? how can you have "nothing to buy"

[forest palm]

I assume they've bought what they needed for the month

[robust nymph]

yeah i did, and already got the red things in the core data command

[forest palm]

2k on a fresh month is good either way

[viscid swift]

got Independence?

[robust nymph]

yup

[robust nymph]

.

[forest palm]

[hushed sorrel]

should be around 20 per but i am pretty sure the exact numbers are readable in the wiki.
for example helena gives only 13 fleet tech with lv 120

[robust nymph]

that’s sad, i can mlb indianapolis but after that its just gonna come down to mlbing random elite ships with 4 bulins each

i think ill start an other research while i wait to get the tech then

[forest palm]

do you not have Penny?

NV and OK are also pretty free tech wise

[robust nymph]

speaking of, not sure what to do now: people recommend anchorage but i already have agir and kala as tanks

let me check

[forest palm]

Anchor is way better than Kala

[robust nymph]

this is my eagle union situation

i could also start plymouth maybe

[viscid swift]

just get Colorado and/or Maryland from the Guild shop and MLB them

[robust nymph]

theyre both already lbd once, lucky

[forest palm]

your screen says otherwise

[robust nymph]

i will, but getting them to 70 is pain.. i already used all xp tickets. think by tomorrow night i will be able to start kears, now ill start ply

[viscid swift]

taz look again

why would start kearsarge or plymouth now

no coining for them so you won't have BPs for them

Anchorage, Agir, FDG, AvP, etc would all be useful ships to unlock that you can coin

[robust nymph]

i need a pr6 ship because i started in the handbook pr6 challenges and im stuck there until i complete a pr6 ship (all the other ones didnt require to finish prx ship so i didnt know)

[robust nymph]

agir, fdg, avp already done. anchorage i could yeah

[hushed sorrel]

if you use your 💳 that could be 7-14days till lv70 (depending on mood) in your dorm. not for f2p recommended

[viscid swift]

they all require you to complete a ship from their respective season to finish

and anyway, I wouldn't worry about that too much seeing as they're permanent

[robust nymph]

they do? i swear i checked and only that 6 one had it written, maybe it appears after you initiate it? idk regardless i also really wanted kears since i started playing, more of a collection thing.. ill start anchorage now tho

[viscid swift]

it's the last mission

[robust nymph]

thing is im researching ships faster than i can coin. while im leveling agir i also have fdg on hold, and same goes for normal sr ship

[robust nymph]

thats why i think filling kears im between wouldnt even hurt too much

[forest palm]

Shimanto is the more useful ship of that season is my problem, Kears is good but there's more hoops you have to jump through to justify using her imo, not taking in the fact you need 513 prints for Kears

[robust nymph]

ah thats a valid point

[viscid swift]

I would argue Anchorage is the first PR you can coin that you should be trying to finish but

[cobalt gate]

When do we usually get fate simulation for pr ships

[viscid swift]

the EN Anni

[robust nymph]

is she sr or ur?

[viscid swift]

PR

[robust nymph]

didnt mean to ping but okay

[forest palm]

I'd say the 14th of August

[cobalt gate]

Oh so pretty close

[robust nymph]

also see? it doesnt say here "complete pr5 ship" as last mission

[agile patrol]

Hallo!
I have 4 UR bulins, who do I Max Bimit Leak

[viscid swift]

that's because you haven't unlocked the last mission yet

[forest palm]

what other UR do you have?

[agile patrol]

thats all

[viscid swift]

"Clear all Series 5 development missions to unlock the final mission for this phase"

[viscid swift]

Lion without question

[agile patrol]

Thank!!!

[robust nymph]

anything else worth grabbing before tomorrow with 490 left?

was looking at the prints maybe

[viscid swift]

PR prints, dorm food, red skill books personally

[robust nymph]

ill take those but not the dorm food which i personally am fine without

also last thing, here since im only gonna do sp daily from now on and nothing else of the event. what do i prio?

i need more steam catapults so maybe i could go for the gold boxes that have them

[viscid swift]

personally I'd go for the augment stones and SR catboxes

[robust nymph]

the blue ones or the purple ones?

they're both called augment stones, not sure if you meant to get both

[short blade]

It feels like the localizers trying to keep the atelier terminology, but item attack in this case are sub weapons right?

Not the attacking auxillary items?

[viscid swift]

the ones for XP not for rerolling, the latter you get in abundance

[robust nymph]

will get those then, ty

sr catboxes i suppose theyre gonna be useful later on. ngl i have no idea how the entire cat system works, i do have 6-7 sr cats already but im just not checking the cat thingy ever

just doing the daily free cat build and get out basically atm

[undone plover]

For now just level them and put them in comfort

[grand solar]

Well just had my first time I had to retreat from a Strong hold because I couldn't defeat the boss on my own without nearly blowing through all my people....

[rapid shard]

Should I grab any of these or something in the limited shop

[viscid swift]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[grand solar]

I hate that I had to retreat...plus... I thought Prince Hinreich was supposed to be a good tanky ship. She can't seem to take a hit worth a damn.. Hell Prinz Eugen was a better tank than her...

[viscid swift]

what

[rapid shard]

So none of those SRs are worth it compared to the equipment?

[viscid swift]

correct

[grand solar]

I don't know, Royal Fortune is pretty damn powerful.

[viscid swift]

again, what

RF has one job, and that's cheesing the daily sub raid, other than you're gonna get more value out traditional subs espcially in campaign

[grand solar]

If you are wondering, I was doing more in OpSi earlier and i had to retreat because I was going to lose a battle against the final boss in the stronghold...something I've never had to do before.

[hollow gust]

proceeds to get oneshotted in any content impactful

[grand solar]

Right cause RF is not a loli and all lolis subs are bestest at everything sub related.

[rapid shard]

Im still trying to learn how the equipment all works. Should I grab white or black shells. For context my 2 top BBs are new jersey and Massachusetts

[viscid swift]

ok, I don't know what you're comparing her to exactly by Henrich when sortied with another IB ship is only 106% of Portland's eHP

[grand solar]

Well here is a rule number 1 about subs. If its not a loli, it sucks.

[viscid swift]

well that's wrong and your personal prefferences are frankly irrelevant to whether a ship is actually good or not

[soft raft]

dawg 99% of the subs in this game dont have big boobs
and the one that does suck ass

[hollow sail]

can you stop with this, honestly

[grand solar]

Oh? Surcouf is bad. U-522 is bad, I-25 sucks. Need I say more? Herring bad.

[ivory pawn]

No love for Maggiore Barroca I see.

[grand solar]

Why? It's true.

[hollow gust]

what a stupid take

[viscid swift]

Archerfish, Barroca, Da Vinci, Homura, U-552

need I go on

[grand solar]

No 552 is bad.

[hollow sail]

he just says those are lolis and then we are spiraling into pointless discussion

[viscid swift]

you're fucking idiot if you think that

[hollow gust]

🍿

[viscid swift]

Literally the best U-boat when not in Campaign

[rapid shard]

Im just trying to figure out which equipment to grab 😂

[grand solar]

And you just said it right there. Not in campigan mode. So ergo sucks.

[ivory pawn]

White shell first, then black.

[rapid shard]

Thanks

[hollow gust]

[viscid swift]

there's content outside of campaign? like Abyssals and Arbiters

now if you want to cotinue to spread misinformation and add pointless dribble to your advice, we can call the mods in

[grand solar]

White and black shells will pretty much serve your BBs and BCs as aux equipment.

[hollow gust]

shes fine in campaign

[viscid swift]

or you can shut up willingly

[hollow gust]

honestly i prefer black first then white cause the purple white doesnt stack with gold white

[viscid swift]

ehh, she'll loose too much HP from surfacing for 10 seconds every battle

[sweet delta]

She's fine in campaign at level 125 against chapter 13 fr ong

[hollow sail]

i can tell that you are annoyed there is a single hull type where there's a substantial amount of lolis near the top of the meta (your post history says everything), but can you please stop bringing this up constantly

[grand solar]

Barracuda plans are osme of the best torp planes early on. Same for purple Helldiver.

[viscid swift]

yeah but you'll also retire them relatively quickly whereas the white shells stick around forever

[grand solar]

Just sharing needed to know information.

[viscid swift]

it was not

seriously, stop it or we call in the mods next time it happens

[hollow gust]

if you are buying both anyway might as well black first

[ivory pawn]

If not able to afford both in a month, better to grab white no?

[rapid shard]

White shell is worth maxing out completely?

[grand solar]

Also...it might surprise you to know, but blue 76mm gun is one of the best erly to mid-ish game guns to have equipped on Ayanami.

[viscid swift]

yeah though maybe not quite as your first item to +13

[grand solar]

Like I seriously went years with that gun euipped to her before something better finally came out...

[viscid swift]

that is relevant how exactly?

[rapid shard]

This what im working with thats gold

[grand solar]

I'm giving actual advice. From personal experinece.

[hollow gust]

just let them talk to themself

[grand solar]

The Hellccat isn't a bad fighter, but the fighter from the shop is better.

[viscid swift]

yeah that BB gun is bad,
give this a read if you haven't already
https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment

[hollow sail]

it's also not really worth buying...

[viscid swift]

said fighter is also not worth getting

[grand solar]

Though farming the event for the Seahornet isn't a bad upgrade until you can get the flapjack.

[viscid swift]

again, really not worth it

[grand solar]

🤨 Okay...

[viscid swift]

waste of time, oil, coins, and XP

[grand solar]

Then what is he supposed to use?

[hollow gust]

the hellcat lmao?

[eager marsh]

is ectl ded?

[viscid swift]

F4u Corsairs and Hellcats until they get Flapjacks from the lab

[hollow gust]

they should still be updating it occasionally

[viscid swift]

no, but getting there at this point
expect updates every few months not weeks

[grand solar]

Okay cause everything I've seen has them being used over the hellcat.

[hollow sail]

corsair, hellcat, reppuu, seafang, it all works around equally well at the start

[viscid swift]

**if **they have them
if they don't have them it's not worth the time and effort to get what is effectively transitional equipment

[hollow sail]

plenty of options

[eager marsh]

oh okay, I went there whenever i need gear reference

[rapid shard]

Ill be getting champagnes gun tomorrow when shop resets to replace it. Would i be better off with a purple over the one I have?

[grand solar]

I've used the purple triple Mk. 6 406mm gun for much of my BBs and BCs.

[viscid swift]

your go to BB gun is the Mk6 early game, once you get Champagne and Flandre guns you'd use the latter against medium and heavy armor and the former against light armor

[rapid shard]

This equipment system is a pain the ass to learn as a newer player. Appreciate the help.

[grand solar]

It can be a pain for expeirenced players as well. So don't feel too bad about that one.

[viscid swift]

it's not that difficult, it's mainly a memorization game and understanding that armor types exist

and that you gear for content not ships

[rapid shard]

Ive spent last 3 days leveling and trying to get better gear to push campaign i hit 7-4 and started having a bit of trouble

[grand solar]

That will happen.

Like someone else said, this is a marathon, not a sprint.

[viscid swift]

lean more on levels and limit breaks early on, assuming you're using the reccomended starter fleet or something similar

[hallow vale]

Do the secretary affinity points accumulate while AFK?

[sinful escarp]

you can also stop on the main campaign for now and just do the event stages

[rapid shard]

I haven't seen a reccomened starter fleet. Do you have a link to it?

[viscid swift]

only in the first slot and up to 90 aff

[sinful escarp]

that way you can also get commander level so you wont have to stop and grind for level requirement to unlock the next campaign

[viscid swift]

in here
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips

[hallow vale]

But I can physically turn off my game, right? And she’ll gain affinity

[viscid swift]

yes

[sinful escarp]

but if the ships are too far in levels might as well use the ones you have now. aside from unicorn that is

[rapid shard]

This is my current main fleet I set up.

[viscid swift]

that's bad, like really bad

[rapid shard]

I figured as much lol

[hallow vale]

Thank you. And it’s 1 point per 5 hours?

[viscid swift]

not using Unicorn is an auto 0/10

[sinful escarp]

oof yeah, swap out taihou with unicorn

[viscid swift]

I don't remember off the top of my head but if thats what the wiki says then yes

[rapid shard]

She's being leveled and trying to get coins for last 2 retro upgrades

[viscid swift]

put her in now, she doesn't need to be retrofitted to be better than a 1 limit break Taiho

also obligatory non max limit broken ships are shit

[hallow vale]

Thanks for your help, now on to the current topic of fleets. I’m trying for a (mostly) Iron Blood fleet, are Bismarck, Eugen, or Z23 bad?

[forest jasper]

faction fleet is shit

[viscid swift]

yes, yes, mid

[hallow vale]

What would be better? Because Bismarck boosts Iron Blood stats

[sinful escarp]

boosting stats from bad ships doesnt make them good

[viscid swift]

even just sticking in the realms of an Iron Blood fleet

[sweet delta]

Bismarck Zwei

[viscid swift]

FDG, UvH, Bismarck Zwei, Mecklenburg, Prinx Ruppchrect, Odin, etc

basically any SR/UR BB released after OG Bismarck is better than her

[hallow vale]

I see. So I should use the build exchange points to get UvH? Or is someone else better?

If I want to primarily use Iron Blood ships

[viscid swift]

I would reccomend not doing faction fleets at all first and foremost

but if you really want to go for it, you would still apply good fleet building principles which is using good ships as your base

[sinful escarp]

unless its for PR ship research exp, but that is more partially faction fleet

[viscid swift]

also this is not a particularly good faction buff

"Increases the Main Gun, Torpedo, and Airstrike Crit Rate of all your Iron Blood ships by 4% (20%), increases their RLD by 4.5% (12%)"

[hallow vale]

Fair. Of all of the build exchange ships, which would be best? (Shinano, UvH, etc)

[viscid swift]

I would go for Shinano personally

[hallow vale]

Because?

[viscid swift]

she's the most relevant of the URs there which is to say she's still relevant whereas the others aren't

they've been powercrept and/or been made redundant

[sweet delta]

For now Shinano is the best, but since you shouldn't be using UR bulins on permanent URs, you'll have to keep picking her from the exchange over the course of several months, and nobody can predict the meta then

[sinful escarp]

cv fleets are op now and shinano is still being used for it even with the new ships

[viscid swift]

well she's the best until Musashi shows up

[sinful escarp]

yeah, but that is still a while right? unzen first?

[sweet delta]

~~IJN powercrept from the top top anti-heavy meta already ~~

[hallow vale]

So Shinano it is, then. One more thing. The Bismarck outfits carry over to Zwei, correct? I only have OG currently

[viscid swift]

she's basically the next in line to get archived assuming no funny shenanigans are pulled

[elfin hollow]

can anyone help me with this bug? (I repaired assets and there was nothing)

it keeps happening and im tired of it. I cant play Azur Lane thanks to this.

[hollow sail]

where's the issue exactly

[viscid swift]

yeah I don't see anything wrong here

[hollow sail]

oh the bullets look kinda weird

[viscid swift]

aside from some really questionable fleet building

[elfin hollow]

everything just freezes, projectiles stack.

[elfin hollow]

yeah it gets frozen but... it still tries to run.

[viscid swift]

have you tried logging out and back in again?

[hollow gust]

just restart the game

that fixes 99%of the issues

[elfin hollow]

yes, closing fixes it, but then it happens a few missions into a level

[elfin hollow]

it just happens again after a few matches.

[hollow gust]

then its your emu, switch it

[elfin hollow]

and lose all my progress?

[hollow gust]

[hollow sail]

if all else fails then make sure you can backup into your account and reinstall the game

[viscid swift]

what, you've binded your account right?

[hollow gust]

do you not bind your acc?

[elfin hollow]

no im too scared too.

[hollow sail]

or use different emulator

[viscid swift]

why????????

[elfin hollow]

Binded over several other accounts so I dont bind anymore.

[sweet delta]

99% of players don't know this one simple trick

[hollow sail]

[hollow gust]

????????

[viscid swift]

just bind with a Yostar account, it's basically an email bind

[hollow sail]

that reminds me of good old days where you had the one-time code only, that was a real reason to be scared, but nowadays not really

[viscid swift]

also Imma just say, if you don't bind your account now you could just very easily loose it at some other time like during a play store update

[elfin hollow]

i will hold.

[sweet delta]

💳 swipe now and keep the receipt for the ultimate backup plan

[elfin hollow]

Binded

but I doubt it fixed it...

[viscid swift]

it doesn't

[hollow sail]

binding is just insurance

[elfin hollow]

still why would I want that if it dont work already?

[viscid swift]

but now you can try another emulator without losing your account

[hollow sail]

now you can reinstall the game if no other solution works, or change emulator. bluestacks mid, mumu is where it's at

[elfin hollow]

im using bluestacks already, so i will try mumu

also one last thing, is it possible to switch a accounts server?

[viscid swift]

no

[rapid shard]

Might be a dumb question but if I have my account binded on my phone can I log into it and play it on bluestacks as well?

[viscid swift]

yes

[hollow sail]

only thing to beware of in mumu is that it's chinese and doesn't, or didn't used to, have a way to change to english language, but there was an english language version provided in their discord server

[elfin hollow]

ye

[elfin hollow]

as long as azur lanes in english is fine

[sweet delta]

You can't play at the same time, but you can switch between devices freely

[viscid swift]

you can also play using the same account but on different servers at the same time

[elfin hollow]

what..?

[viscid swift]

exactly what I said

[elfin hollow]

so then I can use the same account across servers.

[viscid swift]

you can be logged in on the same account on 2 devices at the same time but as long as say you're playing on the Amagi server for one and Little E on the other it will not kick you out

[viscid swift]

no, best to think of them as 5 seperate accounts with completely seperate progress

[elfin hollow]

:/

[rapid shard]

Each server is a "new" account then?

[viscid swift]

yes

[hollow sail]

very useful for your chapter 12 speedrun any%

[glad light]

whats "mana flow" mean in the event items descriptions?

[hollow sail]

it's like a resource/meter thing that atelier yumia ships make use of

it would all make sense when you read the skill descriptions of those botes

[glad light]

ive only gotten the poster girl and the redhead

[sweet delta]

Mana Flow is specific to Yumia only

Read her skills to find out more

[hollow sail]

i thought that was "mana" not "mana flow"

[mossy schooner]

Need help chap14

[hollow sail]

isn't mana flow the thing they all use when it reaches 100% and they go into "descent" state or whatever

[sweet delta]

In English that is Environmental Mana and Mana Surge

Mana Flow is Yumia's 10 stacks as I said

[hollow sail]

i see

i blame datamine, calls yumia's "mana" and the other "mana stream"

[vale spindle]

I was this close to translating it to environment mana but went with mana stream because it sounds cooler

[cursive laurel]

burning through AP before reset rn and strategic search keeps giving the "lets pick up our loot efore we forget" prompt after clearing a zone instead of moving onto the next one, so i have to interact with it everytime it wants to go to a new zone, which kinda defeats the point... is there any way to get around this or should i just deal w it?

[sweet delta]

In the game settings, you can shut TB up

Specifically, reduce TB guidance

[cursive laurel]

oh yay thank you

i hope that also means i dont have to press skip 3 times in a row for abyssal zones

[sweet delta]

Rewards are handed out one threshold at a time

[hallow vale]

About the guild logistics quests: 3 per day in the public guild, how many can I do in a player guild?

[maiden bloom]

What is the best tactical training class to learn for Emden

[rain vine]

as in submitting materials?
its the same number

[hallow vale]

So I can “contribute to guild logistics” 3 times in a player guild as well?

[rain vine]

that shouldnt be the case
did you make sure that youre actually meeting the ship requirements?

/prgrind

[odd root]

Does __ count for Shipyard Combat Data Collection EXP?

Yes

• Combat in Main Campaign, Events, Operation Siren
• Ships that are level capped for any reason, if the EXP otherwise would count. Even if you see +0.
• Muse (µ) ships and loli ships, if the faction matches.
• Use faction filters in Dock to double check.

No

• EXP from Exercise, Dorm, EXP Data Packs, Commissions.
• META ships. They are META faction, not the faction of their normal counterparts.

[vale spindle]

this is also on the shipyard wiki page as well

(that page was most recently overhauled by me)

[noble pawn]

Thanks for your hard work

[noble pawn]

Do you guys think crafting Gold 533mm Quadruple Magnetic worth it in gear lab?

[stark quiver]

no

[hollow sail]

it's pretty cheap all things considered, though you can still get them from tech boxes so if you have any spare ones and are patient, you'll probably get enough

[stark quiver]

i read quint in my defense

[noble pawn]

UR Quint is hella expensive. I don't have torpedo fleet nor do I have UR mats

[noble pawn]

I don't trust my own luck. I only got 1

[undone zinc]

Twin or triple 203mm cannons for St. Louis?

[noble pawn]

Pretty sure it's purple twin 203 SK/C

[hollow sail]

use 203 SKC

[undone zinc]

But but her HE passive

[sweet delta]

Twin 203 mounted for sure

[hollow sail]

uhh are you talking about saint louis, not st. louis?

[sweet delta]

And it's Saint, not St.

[undone zinc]

Omg I thought St. was the same as saint

[rain vine]

st louis and saint louis are two different ships
to avoid confusion, you can refer to the research one as sanrui or just spell out saint louis

[undone zinc]

No way there's another ship called st. Louis i didnt knew that my bad sorry

[noble pawn]

It's either lewd louis or pointy boob louis

[undone zinc]

Which one is Saint Louis?!

[noble pawn]

pointy boob

[undone zinc]

You're right, mr. Right

What torpedo gear and why?! (Still Saint Louis)

Ty

[noble pawn]

Gold quintuple for manual
gold quad for auto

[hollow sail]

st. louis is a CL so what i said wouldn't have mattered anyways

[undone zinc]

Is magnetic like aimed?

[sweet delta]

You probably don't want to give your best torp, the quad homing, to saint

[undone zinc]

Low efficiency?!

[hollow sail]

gold quad is the general pick for auto, since you only have 1 though you might want to use it on a ship with better torpedo dmg though

[undone zinc]

Why not her?! Low efficiency?

[sweet delta]

All torp salvos are aimed if within range of the enemy. Magnetic or homing torps will turn towards the enemy

[hollow sail]

magnetic means when the torp comes within close proximity of an enemy it begins tracking the enemy

[noble pawn]

Yup. It's for torpedo fleet like Ayanami and her IJN friends

[undone zinc]

Ohh, so uh... Homing!

Ty for your help to all of You

[hollow sail]

but yeah since saint louis has that big HE dmg bonus you want the twin 203mm purple

normally the SKC tends to be better on average on other botes

[undone zinc]

Is there any event aux worth giving to Saint Louis?

[stark quiver]

gold rudder and toolbox

[undone zinc]

Ty

[noble pawn]

Gold rudder and Repair tools

[hollow sail]

rudder and toolbox if she's doing multiple fights like mob fleets, rudder and crystal ice bomb (or beaver badge once you get that) for a one-off boss fight

[undone zinc]

Is Essex useful or is she only cute?

[viscid swift]

just cute

[undone zinc]

That's okay

[noble pawn]

Use her if you didn't have any USN CV Fleet

I grinded for Ticonderoga until I just realize I got Independence and Saratoga retrofitted before getting her

[civic prairie]

Some of the guide said that dont go for pr1-pr4,how to farm tech points without unlocking pr1-4 ships?

[ivory pawn]

You don't Research Focus PR1-4. You still unlock and build the ships as you're able.

Get tech points from ship drops, shops, building, etc.

[civic prairie]

I see

[noble pawn]

You farm tech points by max limit break ships

[sinful escarp]

you can start research at any PR season

[ivory pawn]

You can, but if you care about longetivity I recommend not.

7 or 8 would be recommended, but jury's still in the air as to which is better.

[clear harbor]

What do OpSi Coordinate Logger do?

[civic prairie]

For starter,is it ok to do august von parseval?

[ivory pawn]

Sure, she's great.

[sinful escarp]

yeah, but i recommend you go for anchorage first

[noble pawn]

to unlock hidden

[civic prairie]

Ok👍
