Materials stages in the current events

[jovial badge]

im literally at 5-1 and my fleet is just pure ass since idk whats good and whats not🙏

[muted crescent]

at 5-1?
then you're fine af, just grind naturally

[jovial badge]

yea

[cobalt rapids]

whats ur feet

[muted crescent]

I guess you can do event if you can clear lvl 80 enemies in T5 and material stages on either event but you're fine

[jovial badge]

enty vv unicorn
helena laffey portland

[lilac forum]

are these broken or something atm, whenever i auto search my fleet dont go for these anymore, they completely avoid it

[stark quiver]

thats not bad
make sure portland is leftmost position

[cobalt rapids]

ur fleet is infact not ass
just get ur lvls and limit break ur ships when u can
and consult sams gear for poverty gear options

[jovial badge]

oki

[sweet delta]

Have you put cats on your feet

[muted crescent]

really good fleet,
do Portland/Helena/Laffey (left to right in that order) so Helena doesn't get cooked

[jovial badge]

that's the problem tho, no way to get em, im even low on data packs

[lilac forum]

lmao im an idiot i forgot

[muted crescent]

who are you struggling to limit break atm?
is it your main fleet?

[sweet delta]

Exp packs are a luxury that new players should not solely rely on for exp

[stark quiver]

consult https://azurlaneecgc.com comon resource guide
and just grind at a stage thats safe to auto in event

[jovial badge]

jus got VV to 5*, for now my priorities are enty (lvl 58) and unicorn (lvl 54)

[jovial badge]

okee

[cobalt rapids]

ur avg lvls early one should be fine even without boosting with xp packs
just keep pushing and when u get stuck just get more lvls
ur aim is to get to the ts stages in the event asap

[muted crescent]

Unicorn needs her retro asap if you don't have it.
but besides that, I think you're fine.

[cobalt rapids]

ull need like 80 avg lvl and a fully lb-ed fleet tho

[sweet delta]

I think TS is out of reach now

[muted crescent]

oh yeah he don't have that

[jovial badge]

working on it, i only need 4 panels

[muted crescent]

I mean with a shit ton of effort I think he could just get T5 to safe and auto that?

I don't think it'll go well cuz lvl 58 against lvl 80s is 44% more damage taken

and basically half damage

[last swift]

Fuck, I accidentally misclicked and bought a slot for chibi-dorm for gems. Can I get the gems back?

[stark quiver]

no

[jovial badge]

I don't think so

[stark quiver]

what number slot?

[last swift]

blyat

[stark quiver]

if its third slot then its fine

[last swift]

I bought the fourth slot

[stark quiver]

[stark quiver]

you cant get gems back

[last swift]

bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[shy oracle]

is w9 when cost limit becomes a thing or is later on than that?

[cobalt rapids]

the former

[eternal basalt]

w9 for normal, for hard earlier I think

[shy oracle]

Right ok tyty

[muted crescent]

w8 for hard

[stark quiver]

do i have enough time to get from lvl 138 to 140 b4 en anni

[eternal basalt]

Depends on your oil

[cobalt rapids]

dont think so

[sweet delta]

c1 23/7 might do it

[muted crescent]

how much xp do u need for that I'm lowkey curious

[stark quiver]

more than 10k

[cobalt rapids]

i dont make that kind of xp in 2 months

[stark quiver]

im at like 78k/182k for 38>39

[muted crescent]

no way you don't. I made like 50k in a month 😭
I went from lvl 65 to lvl 77 in July

[inland shoal]

xp gain is slower the higher your lvl compared to the enemies

[sweet delta]

i leveled up once in july

[hushed sorrel]

i still didnt hit 150 :o

[stark quiver]

i do wonder why....

[muted crescent]

like... my commander lvl vs enemies or ship level vs enemies

[cobalt rapids]

the former

[inland shoal]

cmdr lvl vs enemy ship lvl

[stark quiver]

the threshold is 21 right

[muted crescent]

oh so that shit drops off a cliff

[cobalt rapids]

21 and 41

[stark quiver]

oml

i dont have enough good vanguards at high level

[muted crescent]

holy shit how am I gonna get all the stuff from rerun event 😭

[hushed sorrel]

hmm? i needed 2-3 days

[muted crescent]

yeah but my morale for all the fleets I can use is at an all-time low

[stark quiver]

i finished yumia day 1

[muted crescent]

yumia day 1???
is bro nuts 😭

[cobalt rapids]

you still got 3 full days

[hushed sorrel]

you still got time

[cobalt rapids]

if u have access and can do the mat stages ure fine

[inland shoal]

Why do I still have to craft items in Yumia event for the dorm thingy when all I have left to craft are those useless neutralisers?

[muted crescent]

I'll probably finish th1 today but fucking hell ref*

[muted crescent]

I mean you can craft any colour neutralizer 15 times and then you can get more event points

[hushed sorrel]

the neutraliser are a permanent quest for even more event points

[muted crescent]

mb mb th1

for dorm thingy it's just raft everything in there once only

[cobalt rapids]

then just try to grind as soon as u have morale recover theres nothing more to it

[inland shoal]

Yeah but like why force me to craft them for the event furniture? Cuz they think I'll enjoy their amazing crafting UI so much?

[muted crescent]

I should probably run 1:1 fleets after I go sleep

[stark quiver]

should you?
do you have the crossfleet needed to make it work

[hushed sorrel]

ask the developer and not us xD

[muted crescent]

what crossfleet?
all the crossfleet I have is Zwei 😭

[soft raft]

/crossfleet

[odd root]

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/images/equip_misc/Cross-fleet_Effects.jpeg

[inland shoal]

I just thought I had missed sth at first and wanted to make sure lol

[stark quiver]

crossfleet that helps you clear enemy waves instead of your actual fighting fleet
i usually run
soyuz,alsace,musashi
kronk,shima,unzen

[muted crescent]

I have literally no crossfleets besides Zwei and I guess Trafalgar

[stark quiver]

what are you planning to use for 1:1

[muted crescent]

I’ll probably have to split these 2 fleets and use them individually

Uni’s fleet is entirely in dorm

[stark quiver]

you might be able to live thru th1 without crossfleet then

[muted crescent]

if there's anyone I'm worried about in any of these fleets it's honestly Ayanami

acc nah she might just be fine with +48%

[cobalt rapids]

i mean if they clear is w.e but
if vanguard on boss has issues then move nep there to tank
otto or sanfran can tank in mob
and if ur mob leaks botes then move nagato over ark there and flag her so she can shoot em

[muted crescent]

Sara's lowk cooked

[muted crescent]

I can just use Howe instead of Ark then

[stark quiver]

i like cv screen clear more

[ornate narwhal]

Which servers have which SSRs in the medal shop

[inland shoal]

Ah right, very good question

Avrora CA BB
Lexy CV CL
Washy CL CL
Sandy
Amagi BB BB
Lil E BB CL

[obtuse island]

is independence or saratoga better for mobbing

[inland shoal]

Indep

[brazen swift]

are 450 wisdom cubes enough to get a ur? i havent played in 4 years

[inland shoal]

Yes, you need 400 to hit pity

[obtuse island]

wait for the next ur event tho

[brazen swift]

alright will do thanks!

[serene cloud]

when is the next ur, have 100 cube rn

[viscid swift]

not until September probably

[serene cloud]

have some time to save 400 cube

[hushed sorrel]

after en-anni but we dont know exactly how much later. you have lots of time

[viscid swift]

not exactly difficult to guess

[ornate narwhal]

Do we know avora or lil e? Bc I want to make alt and idk if a server currently has both hood and enty

[hushed sorrel]

400 is good but most player will be able to pull her before they hit pity

• the time the event runs. you dont need to pull her the very first day of release

[serene cloud]

ye, im just afraid of bad luck

[viscid swift]

well Unzen will probably rerun soon after that event ends

[serene cloud]

ohhh even more time to save lmao

alr have unzen

[inland shoal]

I don't, oughta wait for ppl here to kindly tell us

[undone plover]

this is lilE

[stark quiver]

lemme get avrora for you

[undone plover]

avrora

honestly CL + BB might be better than CV + BB

[inland shoal]

Sandy also still missing

[cobalt robin]

also avrora 😔

[hushed sorrel]

why does the medal shop in other server even matter :o

[inland shoal]

So I can put it on the wiki page

[undone plover]

thorin just wants a list
And sharkbait was asking cuz he wants to start an alt I think

[cobalt robin]

is Anni next event or will we get a filler before that

[lilac forum]

how good is emden?

[sweet delta]

sandy is CL SS or SS CL idk because i already bought one

if i buy the other, will the order be correct?

[hushed sorrel]

to my knowlegde its the direct next one

[viscid swift]

we've got the anni stream on the 9th so

[cobalt robin]

I'm just here for the ring

[hushed sorrel]

part of it even already begun: #game-news message read this one

[ornate narwhal]

If I want to start an alt should I try to get the collab ships?

[cobalt robin]

didn't get a ping for it

[undone plover]

she is very good
decent buff for KMS BBs
but overall rarely used because z52 trafalger and plymouth are a thing

[inland shoal]

I think so, but tbh I don't really care about order anymore anyway as it has no meaning

[undone plover]

honestly depends what u want to get out of the alt
if u have them on your main probably not since none of them are that meta

[lilac forum]

could i fit her into this iron blood fleet?

[undone plover]

well she is better than that z boat so sure

[ornate narwhal]

Ok so should I just save until the UR next month?

[undone plover]

sure
I mean I dont have an alt tbh so kinda depends why u are starting an alt and what u are trying to achieve with it

[sweet delta]

i think a 6 star emden should replace a 4 star hindenburg

[undone plover]

this is sandy btw

[undone plover]

true didnt see the burg dev levels

[lilac forum]

okay thanks!

[undone plover]

read what suchi wrote
replace hinden for now since she is 4 star

[ornate narwhal]

I just want to try playing the “optimal” way, as my main account I kinda just do whatever and I want to try being optimal and seeing if it makes the game easier/more enjoyable

[undone plover]

oh I see
well optimal implies playing for meta
and pulling for meta is usually UR banners first and foremost and for SR banners come and ask who is worth pulling
but really if u are playing active u can pretty much pull every banner even on main
and maybe skip a few reruns until u build a decent cube stockpile

[ornate narwhal]

Ok

[lilac forum]

ahh okay, ill do that, hindenburg is taking a long time to get done

[inland shoal]

Yeah thought so, after my edit I looked and all the other instances of SS ca and SS CL were in that order
I'll just switch it next month if I remember

[ornate narwhal]

Any tips on unlocking PRs quickly or grinding through the first 10 chapters quickly? On my original it took me like 2 months or something

[undone plover]

for grinding chapters get unicorn and mlb and retrofit asap
use decent boats u can mlb (not full gold fleet)
re-check the newbie guide if u forgot and just grind

for unlocking PR ships
pick saint louis first since probably easiest pr1 ship
then try and unlock anchorage or agir/FdG by specifically getting ironblood/USS boats and MLB them at level 70

[ornate narwhal]

Ok

[undone plover]

at around level 70-80 for your fleet go farm universe in unison or passionate polaris in war archive for an easy and early oil cap
or if there is an easy event like the current one
the sooner u farm oil cap the faster u progress

[ornate narwhal]

Ok

Should I try to get both the grindable event ships

[undone plover]

the rerun has 3x points so easy to get and she is a decent boat so def go for it
the new event idk
it is def possible so why not i guess
u should farm event anyway for points

[ornate narwhal]

Use repulse not LI right

[undone plover]

long island probably better tbh

[ornate narwhal]

Kk

[undone plover]

ranger is best if u drop her or saratoga

[ornate narwhal]

Should I do dailies in old or new even banner?

[cobalt robin]

what was the asw plane in gear lab?

[stark quiver]

fairey gannet

[undone plover]

new banner better
but just do light tbh unless u want the ships

[cobalt robin]

30 electronics 😔💔

[undone plover]

I dont think it uses that much does it

[cobalt robin]

It does

[undone plover]

oh actually wait no u are correct, I was mixing it up with the fw

[cobalt robin]

😔😔

[undone plover]

u can use the purple asw plane if u need sth transitional for now

[cobalt robin]

Is there anything I can use my 250 flex tape on

High durability elastomers

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab

[undone plover]

I mean this asw plane btw
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/General_Motors_TBM-3_Avenger_(ASW)#tabber-Type_3

u can make the dd gun I suppose

the 5th one
having a few doesnt hurt
but it also uses SR gun designs so make sure u dont need those for sth else

[cobalt robin]

hm I could even make the ur one

is it worth?

[undone plover]

i would only make the UR one if u have the UR gun designs and have ~2 NJ guns

like dont use selector prints for it really

[viscid swift]

ahem

[cobalt robin]

alright

[cobalt robin]

Yes I'm looking through it 😔

[undone plover]

but yeah check that link by cheeky probably gives better idea what is worth or not

[cobalt robin]

What is worth ST

[viscid swift]

ST is single target

[silk helm]

wait thank you so much for this, the samheart one is kinda misleading

[viscid swift]

it's why we created it

[silk helm]

thank you goat

[cobalt robin]

I like this one better as well

[undone plover]

I wouldnt say misleading
sam's resource is what we have been using and linking for years
but it lacks some context

[cobalt robin]

why is the twin 76 aa A tier for new player

[undone plover]

because it is VERY expensive and shares some resources with other things on the list like wyverns

[cobalt robin]

it's like the last ur gear you should go for

[viscid swift]

Lol no

[sweet delta]

after what?

[cobalt robin]

mori told me that

[viscid swift]

Not even close when the Shima torps are in the lab

[cobalt robin]

Wyverns, dd gun, tenrais

[viscid swift]

Tenrais use T3 Ordinance Reports

[undone plover]

i guess some ppl would rate the NJ gun higher than it which is fine sure
every guide/list will have some author bias and some ppl can disagree with it that is fine

[cobalt robin]

Forgor the dd gun name

[viscid swift]

And the DD gun is nice to have but it's never going to be decisive

[silk helm]

do you really only need 1-2 tenrai?

[undone plover]

yes

[cobalt robin]

well I didn't count that with the "ur gear"

[undone plover]

like more is nice to have sure but t3 ordnance is expensive and maybe better used for other stuff in the future

[cobalt robin]

Just the good ur gear you should definitely get

[viscid swift]

I mean if you're focusing on campaign especially, why you'd choose the 100 Kai over better AA guns is beyond me

[cobalt robin]

I was legit told this

[rapid summit]

How to know what guns to give ships instead of picking the best rarity of whatever gun does more damage?

[undone plover]

this is also influenced by the fact the best DD we have atm all use either the mogador gun or the single113
so really your twin100kai will probably sit unused

[cobalt robin]

I don't mind getting twin 76 in the near future, I was just curious since I was told something completely different

[silk helm]

how much 'gain' is the ur AA vs a staag?

[undone plover]

it always matters the context where ppl give advice
and the more general a statement the easier to take it out of context

[sweet delta]

twin 100 kai isn't better than the best gold guns against single armor types. Its advantage is covering all armor types decently. And twin 138.6 shits on twin 100 kai when it will return with Alsace rerun

[silk helm]

u gotta get the twin 76 for the cat ears

[rapid summit]

Ty

[cobalt robin]

context was what ur gear next but it's wtv now

[undone plover]

btw not flexing with this i am just giving you some context but these are the UR gears I have crafted after 2 years
I can craft more but I am somewhat of a hoarder but just giving you an idea of what I have felt the need to craft so far

[silk helm]

~~my eyes ~~

[cobalt robin]

You definitely sent that to flex

[undone plover]

it is not even a flex since most boomers here have 2x that amount

[silk helm]

only 1 afct?

[undone plover]

yeah I wasnt here for vanguard og run

[silk helm]

youngling

[cobalt robin]

I need that table man 😔😔

also gonna have a 457 soon

[silk helm]

wait wtf u have 5 la 9s?

[cobalt robin]

I just noticed 💀

[autumn pumice]

In Yumia collab you don't get any extra points for crafting colored Neutralizers like in Ryza collab?

[inland shoal]

You do, check missions -> event

[autumn pumice]

ok thanks

[muted crescent]

bro I don’t even have a HPFCR 😭

[stark quiver]

what a flex

[muted crescent]

why do u need 5 ur torp auxes tho?

[stark quiver]

not even 6

[muted crescent]

I swear you only need 3 💀

[stark quiver]

when i wanna gear a full vanguard for torp damage and statstick

[muted crescent]

unless we trying to get crazy torp numbers on DDs

[stark quiver]

i put them on my subs sometimes for arbiter one strike

[stark quiver]

our depots look shockingly similar

[undone plover]

honestly I had the core data and just bought em
U are probably fine with 2 and maybe 4 max

[manic spear]

How do I stop gambling

[muted crescent]

remember that you're gonna struggle to get the UR ship you wanted

[eternal basalt]

Spend all your money on shipgirls

[manic spear]

down to 48 cubes lol
now I wonder how to farm

[woeful sluice]

What should be the first things you craft in the gearlab and how many?

[hollow gust]

everyone but you will have the shiny UR next month

[muted crescent]

fr

he be trying to hit impossible odds for URs

[eternal basalt]

Just pull it in 2 cubes.

[manic spear]

need stop gambling now
how much cubes does it usually take for the ur?

[hollow gust]

400 is pity

[eternal basalt]

UR is in 2 months, with a 3 week event. You get plenty of cubes with EN anni events, there's 4 in the webevent right now

[muted crescent]

I'm avoiding web events like the plague sadly

[hollow gust]

huh isnt JP anniversary in septemver

[muted crescent]

I live in the UK
age verification is everywhere, I can't even listen to Spotify without sending my driver's licence over

[eternal basalt]

Yes, at the end of september, august + september

[woeful sluice]

I heard people just upload random driver's licences they found online

[undone plover]

<@&472236072743600148>

[woeful sluice]

omg Mr. Beast no way

[stark quiver]

Take his balls away

[muted crescent]

you can upload random screenshots but still man I'm not giving shit

[eternal basalt]

Random guy just offers Mr. Beast driver license for HyperWiz, so sad

[undone plover]

gifs are not for this channel no

[muted crescent]

I meant the content of the gif

[tame jungle]

just keep it on topic for gph smh

[muted crescent]

can we have some humour here at least 😭

[tame jungle]

#al-general

[muted crescent]

but fair enough

[eternal basalt]

Good idea to craft Gouden Leeuw's CB gun for her?

[viscid swift]

might be good on her for light

medium and heavy armor though I'm just using the Hindenburg gun

[muted crescent]

is it bad that I have PR/DR 5 focus cuz I want Ply dev 30 asap

[eager mulch]

no

[muted crescent]

and a quad 152mm

[viscid swift]

not the worst but I don't consider PR5 focus at this point to be a particularly good choice

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/research-focus

[muted crescent]

yeah that's what I was thinking but like Ply isn't coinable atm

[viscid swift]

she will be in 5-6 months

[obtuse island]

i was reading a few suggestions in the game feedback channel and i read that the high efficiency thingies to get x2 drops weren't working in the yumia event and i want some confirmation about if this is true or not

[muted crescent]

and she's literally the last Royal Navy ship

[muted crescent]

they work. I used them today

[viscid swift]

ok, not sure why that's particularly relevant

[muted crescent]

because I can't research anything else, more or less
too few tech points to do anything else

[obtuse island]

mk

[eternal basalt]

What supposedly were they not doing?

[viscid swift]

you can't do Roon or Ibuki to help get more tech points?

[muted crescent]

yeah I use exactly 1 ship for grinding each of them

[obtuse island]

giving the x2 event points ig

[viscid swift]

if you're in W12 then get more ships that do qualify for them leveled up

[eternal basalt]

Well, that's just plain wrong

[muted crescent]

at least I have Helena, Sandy and San Francisco for grinding St. Louis but genuinely I don't wanna MLB Suzutsuki for Ibuki

[viscid swift]

most of the messages made in game feedback are done by idiots who do nothing but complain mpst of the time complaining about largely irrelevant things

[viscid swift]

doesn't have to be an SR, you can use elites

[muted crescent]

I scrap all of these and below, besides Shouhou

[sweet delta]

~~No I think most of the messages are done by bots. One specific bot, I mean ~~

[viscid swift]

well now you know why we tell people not to do that

[eager mulch]

[muted crescent]

Su-2 worth crafting? Is it good?

[viscid swift]

no

[sweet delta]

The two AA guns are good

[muted crescent]

I mean I alr have 1 roomba, and ik about the staag

[sweet delta]

And are you an ancient player or how do you have pr1 bps

[muted crescent]

no I did PR1 for about a month till I realised it was stupid asf

[sweet delta]

1 roomba is not enough

[viscid swift]

you can make good use of at least 2 roombas

and the stagg you pretty much auto slot onto all of your main fleet ships

[muted crescent]

so... vanguard should keep an assortment of gold bofors and roombas, and STAAG for main fleet, yes?

[eternal basalt]

Roomba's are in boxes

[viscid swift]

something like that

[sweet delta]

Roomba > quad bofors

[woeful sluice]

What should be the first things you craft in the gearlab and how many?

[sweet delta]

And gold AA are better than purple AA

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab

[muted crescent]

ok that's a third roomba 💀

[woeful sluice]

just go down the list one by one or filter by new players?

[sweet delta]

It's sorted by new players by default, but do consider there are 4 tables

[hushed sorrel]

craft when needed. you have limited resources

[viscid swift]

it's a guide

you can just go down the list by new SKK ratings but I would reccomend actually considering what you're trying to do to get the most out of it

and understanding what each gear is good for

[brazen lotus]

So the prio ship you research focus affects what bp drop also?

[muted crescent]

Are these fleets good for W12?
hold up these ain't it 💀

[viscid swift]

the season you focus yes

[woeful sluice]

alright, thank you

[muted crescent]

there we go, are these good for w12

[viscid swift]

sure, though Ayanami isn't doing much of anything

[muted crescent]

it's her or Z23

[viscid swift]

I would take Z23 anyday

[muted crescent]

why tho?

[hushed sorrel]

the question is kinda wrong. the research focus says which pr you get the most researches from, but if you choose another pr in the actual researches it doesnt matter at all.
but yes the research focus boosts all researches of the same number gear and ships

[viscid swift]

because not only does she have more levels but because Ayanami is of questionable value in a mob fleet being played on auto

[eternal basalt]

It gives 3/5 of that season in researches

[viscid swift]

not playing to her strengths at all

[brazen lotus]

🙏 this game is unplayable if you only have the info avaliable in game lol

[muted crescent]

fair, but I usually play manual
especially when I need to clear them all after the event ends

[hushed sorrel]

this game is very casual playable. most progress will be done over time and slowly. so just enjoy

[viscid swift]

why manual? your fleets are more than capable of auto clearing

[muted crescent]

idk tbh I couldn't even tell you

[viscid swift]

let me put it like, if you play on auto instead of manual especially when you're farming you can do something else why the game does it's thing allowing for much greater uptime

[muted crescent]

alright, any gear I should transfer over to Z23 for the time being?

[viscid swift]

also don't craft unique augments willy nilly

[eternal basalt]

Everything bar the gun

Got anything better than a quickloader tthough?

[obtuse island]

js get a good dps dd gun on z23 and put 2 toolkits on her

[muted crescent]

I mean this is all my vanguards, more or less

[eternal basalt]

You can not equip a ship on z23

[muted crescent]

oh 💀
now I get what u mean 😭

I mean yeah I don’t think I have much to equip

[obtuse island]

twin 127mm should work, the twin 100mm is a barrage gun and you don't want a barrage gun on a gun focused ship like z23

[muted crescent]

I swear ppl keep telling me that one is shit

[obtuse island]

it's a poverty equip, obviously there will be tons of other guns that will be better, BUT remember that each gun has a purpose

you can't compare guns that have different purposes

[stark quiver]

did you read sam's gear guide

[empty bloom]

Any of these worth leveling / building?

[muted crescent]

a little, didn't rlly notice this in there anywhere

you should read the full guide

[stark quiver]

not for now if you have other SR and elite ships to use bulins on

[empty bloom]

I have plenty of bulins currently, not sure if I should be building other ships but

[forest palm]

with what you have I wouldn't worry about subs past doing the Weekly Sub Raid, which you just need I-58

[empty bloom]

I have 15x each gold and purple bulin

My two fleets and some of the other ships I have that I can build, if you think I should swap anyone out

[zenith heron]

[muted crescent]

oh yes also do I build Warspite, and if so, who do I replace for any of these?

[forest palm]

what else do you have sitting in your doc? UR wise

[tribal steppe]

what's the best pr1 to unlock if you are a beginner??

[sinful escarp]

not pr1, go to pr4 or something

[hollow gust]

You will very likely get Saint Louis and Roon fleet tech first . Set your research focus to pr7 or pr4

[tribal steppe]

no fleet tech

[forest palm]

"PR6"?

we mostly recommend starting with FdG in PR2 then hopping over to PR4 to do Anchorage, and Agir since you can use coins to purchase their BPs

[soft raft]

Roon for german tech points
Ibuki is Unzen lite after you get her unique aug

Tho tbh you can just go for whoever you want in PR1

[forest palm]

except Monarch, she is just bad value at this point

[soft raft]

Monarch aug when man

[forest palm]

it's just the Squidward watching out the window meme but with Monarch

[tribal steppe]

so technically Roon so I can start with FDG??

[sinful escarp]

i remember a time when monarch was the most recommended in pr1

[forest palm]

Roon is honestly not a bad start

[tribal steppe]

Cause I got P. Heinrich as well luckily on gacha

[forest palm]

I assume the PR6 focus is for the Triple 380 mle 1935

[hollow gust]

Roon and Saint are both good ships, its generally more likely you have enough points for saint louis before roon

[muted crescent]

Zwei and Sandy.

[forest palm]

if you have the massive resource dump, go for it

[muted crescent]

Well… therein is the issue

getting 50k coins is genuinely smth I can’t do for a while
And 8 bulins (cuz I need 2 for Strasser and I’m MLBing her first) is also another issue

[obtuse island]

wouldn't buying the champy gun from the prototype shop be better tho

[forest palm]

the 380 is comparable to the 406/50 with the 380 being slightly faster, in a way it's to avoid the bottle necking of waiting about 3-ish months for 3 BB guns

[obtuse island]

oh alr

[forest palm]

granted the PR6 Focus is something Goose suggested, you could alternatively just buy PR6 Weapon Blanks and get the 380 that way...

[forest palm]

seems like you're not in a place to comfortably invest in Warspite Retro + UE

[muted crescent]

what's UE?

[forest palm]

Unique Equipment

[muted crescent]

oh yeah I forgot about that

I have the mats, not the coins, so that's another 21k 😭

[fierce lantern]

laffey II rerun?

[eager mulch]

January 9th, 2025 - January 15th, 2025

[fluid brook]

The new Collab only have 4 Gold Ships?

[viscid swift]

yes

[fluid brook]

Thanks

[soft raft]

It wont be for a good while

[wary skiff]

is there no point in the extras, i still havent gotten yumi but i got a bunch of ninas. do collabs always have a rerun?

[sweet delta]

most collabs have not rerun

[boreal merlin]

t4 giving half exp?

[sweet delta]

you are putting 1500 to level 6 and 1500 to level 7

[boreal merlin]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[brazen lotus]

Tirpitz doesn't care about syncing shots with bismark right

Wondering if twin 457 rainbow would be good on her

[viscid swift]

which Bismarck

[brazen lotus]

Plain ol yellow

[viscid swift]

well no but doesn't necessarily mean there's nothing else in the fleet you want to sync to

[brazen lotus]

For sure still lvling em so waiting to mess with reload times after, but bismark has a sword and the first tpose radar to get more uptime on that first shot buff

[ionic kraken]

what do you all prioritize getting in these 2 event shops?

[stark quiver]

Cogs and oil for me

[dreamy blade]

cogs, DR prints

[warm flax]

Any reason to craft dupes of the Ryza collab augments? I have them already.

[dreamy blade]

nope

[sweet delta]

They give 2 augment cores each

[warm flax]

I thought you might get some gold. LIke you get for crafting event trophies.

oh... i could use those.

[proud geyser]

Yeah those are important

[zenith heron]

Is it possible for Triple BB (Lion, Bizwei, and Soyuz) to defeat Algerie Meta Boss Fight better than the IJN CV Boss Fleet?

[stark quiver]

Doesn’t Algerie prefer zwei

[zenith heron]

I see, probably due to the multiple enemies surrounding her? so her Black Hole suffices enough?

[atomic abyss]

M.Algerie is a zwei check yes

[sweet delta]

The strategy when algeriem released was Bisz+5

[silk helm]

suhci are you going to make a gear guide as well?

[sweet delta]

For what? Preparing for Sam's death?

[hollow sail]

[glossy granite]

I can buy 2 of these, do i go for anyone or tech?

[hollow sail]

could go for tech or warspite dupes if you don't have her MLB yet

[glossy granite]

Did her new augment make her good or something

[silk helm]

shes no lion

[hollow sail]

makes her alright, still more boss oriented than campaign. ideally you have her retro and her augment, it's a bit expensive though

[glossy granite]

Im going for IJN tech which i need anyways

[hollow sail]

suruga gives the most tech of those, followed by tosa then nagato then mikasa. but in terms of usefulness nagato is a bit better than the rest. not meta but sometimes usable alongside strong IJN carriers

[dreamy blade]

iirc mikasa has the best 120 tech of all of those options (+1 hit)

[viscid swift]

She also gives less tech points than a destroyer

[dreamy blade]

oh what the weird

[wind hazel]

31 total wtf

[hollow sail]

historically accurate

clearly you should invest in mikasa stocks with the upcoming UR IJN BB

[long hull]

Can anyone help what’s fastest way to earn combat data collection because I can’t grind high chapter levels yet

[sweet delta]

grind any oil capped map like the current event Materials

[long hull]

So I just grind the event levels?

[hollow sail]

specifically the TS1-TS5 ones

[shut hedge]

Are the ateliers any good for viability, only reisalin and klaudia?

[icy turtle]

How do I get reisalin?

[soft raft]

gotta pull on the banner

specifically the rerun banner, not the new yumina one

[ionic kraken]

is t3 twin 380mm main gun sk c any good?

[wind hazel]

no

[brazen lotus]

Its fine to +6 but really one of the worst 'end game' options, you should have better purple alternatives

[viscid swift]

It's a bad gun no matter where you are in the game

The mk6 is readily available and a much better gun

[brazen lotus]

Ya true, I still used it from ship lvl 70 to 90ish

[wind hazel]

i use it from ship lv1 to lv125

[brazen lotus]

I also thought the mk6 was referencing the 283 for a while and couldn't understand why people loved it lol

[hollow sail]

new ateliers generally a bit better than old ateliers (yumia probably the best of the bunch). except klaudia, who is technically quite good but still usually considered inferior to unicorn

[topaz wedge]

Hello all, i'll like to check if we can use multiple discount voucher for a bunny outfit purchase?

[hollow sail]

no

[topaz wedge]

Ok thanks!

[rapid shard]

Are there any notable augments from the Rysa event? Almost fully finished crafting them all

[hollow sail]

that's not very different from asking whether the ship is good or not

[leaden mountain]

what r ways to get more yellow gears? or r the purples fine?

[hollow sail]

in which case you can read the message i wrote just a little bit above

[hollow sail]

you get more gold gear early on from gold tech boxes

some of this gear needs changing. bulge and boiler does absolutely nothing for BBs

[leaden mountain]

how do i get more gold boxes? also how do i tell if a gear is good for a ship?

[hollow sail]

put your highest accuracy or highest firepower gear on them. look towards fire control radar, sg radar, even a gyroscope is better than what you have right now

but ideally a purple shell

[leaden mountain]

i crafted a ton of these event gears r they any good?

[hollow sail]

if you are very new you can buy some of them from the event shop or try to find big discounts of them in the coin shop

[long hull]

Should it be 3 Main 1 Vanguard if I’m needing Main Combat Data Collection? Or other format

[wind hazel]

3:3

[hollow sail]

no, you use a full fleet of 6 ships. the stages cap your oil cost

[leaden mountain]

thanks

[hollow sail]

it's a complex question. you should probably look at the equipment guide for a general idea

/equip

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

[long hull]

So should I get 3 strong Main and like 3 weakish vanguards so that the mains can get more XP?

[hardy creek]

Which ur gears in gear lab should I prioritize first?

[wind hazel]

wyvern

[exotic wren]

wait i forgot, idol ships provide faction exp ye?

[stark quiver]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab
theres a guide , and yes as mori said, wyvern

[hollow sail]

if you want to manipulate MVP, i guess you could do that. your flag gets 1.5x EXP by default and MVP grants 2x EXP. make sure you aren't too weak though

but always be leveling something that is of use

it's not a good idea to put like 3 common DDs in the vanguard just so your main fleet can get all the MVPs

[long hull]

Is this a good one for Main XP CDC eagle union

[wind hazel]

66% good

[hollow sail]

it's overkill for event stages

[stark quiver]

0lb guam

[hollow sail]

you don't need unicorn for this

also 0 LB guam at low level in the tank position is uh yeah

[long hull]

I used unicorn because guam kept getting low health

[wind hazel]

more like you dont want unicorn

[hollow sail]

that saint louis surely tanking better

[leaden mountain]

which gears should i use here for lion?

[soft raft]

Bench her asap bro
0 LBs and she's in the main tank position, ofc she's constantly gonna get her shit kicked in

[long hull]

What do I replace of her

[hollow sail]

also you don't need a full eagle union vanguard either but i guess that may just be a coincidence

[stark quiver]

whys the head tweaking

[soft raft]

Saint Louis is french

[hollow sail]

true, i realized 2 seconds after posting

[soft raft]

You have Saint Louis right there

[leaden mountain]

im ngl im not too sure what this means

[hollow sail]

i blame name again

[wind hazel]

wdym, they are gear...

[long hull]

Do I just rearranged the format into this then?

[exotic wren]

Kala's CL gun is just a stat stick right?

[leaden mountain]

yea but like i dont have those, what stats should i be focusing on? fp?

[hollow sail]

0 LB guam hiding 0 LB NJ

[wind hazel]

hit fp yeah

[hollow sail]

classic

[muted crescent]

keep Guam middle if you insist on running. Laffey's gonna tank way more than Guam at 0 LBs and 20 levels lower will

[long hull]

What that mean I’m slow

[stark quiver]

get down mr president

[mint flint]

0 limit breaks

[muted crescent]

no limit break new jersey

[wind hazel]

this very bad

[leaden mountain]

would this be good?

[wind hazel]

this very good

[long hull]

I thought when you meant LB I thought it was pounds 😭

[wind hazel]

yeah it's good enough until you can buy white shell from shop

[hollow sail]

this is alright as a stopgap equip

[leaden mountain]

i should do fp for both gears?

[wind hazel]

hit fp

[leaden mountain]

whats hit

[wind hazel]

you sure you dont have any of the purple fire control radar?

[hollow sail]

hit is hit, we also call it accuracy i guess

[leaden mountain]

oh

[hollow sail]

used in calcs to determine if an enemy gets damaged or not

BBs have low base hit so they want more

[leaden mountain]

would the shell be better or use fire

[wind hazel]

brother

[hollow sail]

shell better

[wind hazel]

im gonna strangle you very soon

[leaden mountain]

mb 🥀

[hollow sail]

well probably not that much difference tbh, especially early on where the acc is so low

[wind hazel]

just a sec ago you told me you have none of those

[leaden mountain]

the yellow ones

[wind hazel]

so follow the purple ones

[leaden mountain]

i didnt even see it til literally now too

[wind hazel]

there's a reason why i put two examples there

[leaden mountain]

😵‍💫

[wind hazel]

[leaden mountain]

so i should change this one to fire?

[wind hazel]

if you haven't enhanced the gold one, just use the purple ones, they are cheaper

[leaden mountain]

🫡

[wind hazel]

they are both transitional aux until you get to the gold ones

-# and then gold become transitional until you get UR table

[leaden mountain]

[leaden mountain]

also for this where can i find the options for other ships?

[viscid swift]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/

[wind hazel]

i made that one up with https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

just read sam's gear guide for more in depth explanation on what to use

^ sam's gear guide

[leaden mountain]

[long hull]

For this one should I focus on the Normal or SP or EX one?

[viscid swift]

Also obligatory 0 limit break ships are shit

[viscid swift]

Well you have to clear all the normal stages to access the material and SP stages

[viscid swift]

Also where even are you in the main campaign?

[leaden mountain]

which tech packs give the purple shell?

[long hull]

12-1 but i cant play it cuz im not level 80 im 79

[hollow sail]

W11 is already good for exp

[viscid swift]

That's good at least, still might wanna give this a read

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/research-focus

[hollow sail]

when you are done with event you would go there... but i imagine that by the time you are you will be level 80

[leaden mountain]

who r the upcoming UR reruns?

[long hull]

the thing is when i do run w11 my fleet can barely last so i would just go to w9

[viscid swift]

That just means your fleet is shit

Like running a 0 LB NJ and Guam

[hollow sail]

unzen is expected to be next iirc

with musashi probably added to UR exchange soon

[leaden mountain]

has implac had a rerun yet?

[viscid swift]

Yes, months ago

[leaden mountain]

[hollow sail]

i think the UR exchange pipeline would be musashi->york2->implac? not sure

[long hull]

I don’t got any UR bulins I’m broke😭

[wind hazel]

so dont use UR ships yet

[leaden mountain]

i started right before musashi's rerun so i managed to miss her and implac early on 😵‍💫

[viscid swift]

So don't use them

https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/

And get your gear sorted

[long hull]

Just checked and realized I didn’t have any gear on for guam 😭

[soft raft]

Not like it would've made a difference with those levels

[leaden mountain]

is there an anti air list? im not seeing it in there

[wind hazel]

under AA gun

[leaden mountain]

ty

just MLB traf, who next? shinano?

[sweet delta]

Do you even have 3 or 4 bulins, wait for September

[leaden mountain]

[onyx flame]

How does one even hold 60k coins for FDG when my cap is only 58200

[wind hazel]

hard cap for coin is 600k

the soft cap only make you unable to retrieve coin from the canteen, but not from farming

[mighty falcon]

how can I find where to craft or get this item?

[hollow sail]

check atelier

[mighty falcon]

its not there

is it a receipe I have to unlock first?

[wind hazel]

it's under items

[mighty falcon]

why your atelier background look different than mines?

[wind hazel]

you went into the wrong one

[harsh gust]

iirc if you just press on "Obtain Energy Tuner" it'll have a direct shortcut anyway

[mighty falcon]

it didn't work for some reason unlike the other items

[harsh gust]

hm, weird. I thought it works

anyway, if you have 'different background', it means you went to Ryza one, instead of Yumia

[hardy creek]

You can't use coins to level up the dev level for ur research ships right?

[hollow sail]

you can for the ones that are coinable

[alpine plover]

where is the synthesis button???? for the older collab

[shy oracle]

U can pr1 till pr5 I think it is

[hollow sail]

PR1 through PR5 golds are coinable, and DR2 through DR4 rainbows

[hollow sail]

you click on the gear/item then after you fill the entire grid the "begin synthesis" button on the bottom middle-right will be able to be used

[alpine plover]

no not that i meant the synthesis screen where is it?

[shy oracle]

I have 500 gems best thing to use them for?

[alpine plover]

oh nvm i found it, seems really like a hidden button

[wind hazel]

dorm 3rd slot, then buy 2nd floor, then the rest into dockspace

[shy oracle]

As in having 3 spaces if ur dorm right just for clarification

[wind hazel]

yes

[shy oracle]

Alright I already have that so I’ll buy the 2nd floor their thehelp

Thanku*

[hollow sail]

anyone know how this mission works, i don't get it

[muted crescent]

craft everything in the menu once

Inc augment stuff, all the neutralisers and a gear skin box

[hollow sail]

ah so one of all, alright

[slow fox]

Do multiple of one craft work?

Wait no I'm baka

it's 25 "recipes" smh

[civic prairie]

Is there any ways to farm combat data pack besides from by handbook missions?

[harsh gust]

no
battle pass gives some iirc, but that's it
you can't 'farm' it

[civic prairie]

[shy oracle]

Lecture hall does it passively w lvl 100+ ships but its not exactly farming it

[wind hazel]

expbook is not combat data pack

[cobalt robin]

combat data packs from lecture hall?

Did I miss something?

[shy oracle]

Oh I read his question wrong ngl

[civic prairie]

Thats exp data packs

[cobalt robin]

[civic prairie]

Isokay ill farm exp from sortie

[wind hazel]

why do you wanna "farm" it to begin with

[civic prairie]

Umm for pr ships

[cobalt robin]

NO

[wind hazel]

never turn them into PR exp

[cobalt robin]

Convert combat data packs to protocore only

[wind hazel]

always turn them into protocore

[civic prairie]

Oh alright,im not using it yet

[wind hazel]

use it now, analyze all of them

[cobalt robin]

[civic prairie]

[cobalt robin]

we saved him right before a disaster

[shy oracle]

Yh I might of used like 70 for xp before ik abt analysing them

[wind hazel]

• ~9prints

ffs -~9prints

[shy oracle]

Yh I didn’t know what I had done till afterwards I just thought Yh fuck it this makes it less time

[vale spindle]

Cruise pass and that's it

[worn trail]

i dont understand, i already did T5 stage, why isnt synth unlocked?

[vale spindle]

Wrong event u need to clear the ryza event t5

u cleared the yumia event t5

i said "wrong" but ideally u do both anyways so its not a waste xd

[worn trail]

ooh

thanks man, i was stuck there for a second

[sharp socket]

where do i find this

[inland shoal]

Just clear the TH5 mission and I think that one will also be done

[sharp socket]

alr great

[gilded carbon]

What is a good set up for farm-gear for her? In the Tierlist, it said to use both Unique Aux.
Also, im severly lacking in good Torps-Bomber-Aircraft...

Given my only healer so far is Uni, she sounded like a reasonable Investment.

[forest palm]

Uni tends to be the only healer you need, that said those TBs aren't really useful in mob

[wind hazel]

barracuda/breguet/wyvern

[quartz glen]

I want to craft rerun gear, but I only get Augment T3. Is it because I already have those, so they’re giving me compensation instead?

[cobalt robin]

You can't get dupes of the augments

[quartz glen]

Sadge

[cobalt robin]

not like you could use dupes anyway

[quartz glen]

well i want hoarder thou

[cobalt robin]

hoard the gear, you can craft dupes of em

[vale pelican]

Is the gear worth getting the dupes? Wasnt it basically the same as normal gear on non collab chars?

[hollow sail]

second crystal ice bomb in case you want to use 3 cruisers on boss i suppose

crystal ice bomb is the third best eva gear for cruisers after rudder (which you can only equip one of per ship) and beaver badge (which you only have one of total)

pretty much no meta scenario where you would do this at the moment. but the "use case" is there

[shy oracle]

What’s better to do mlb eugen and Otto or save coins to fully retrofit san

[vale pelican]

[hollow sail]

san diego is the only with real long term value

[vale pelican]

but eugen is kinda bad

[hollow sail]

get sandy aug first

then you can be concerned about retro

[shy oracle]

Alright I’ll do that then ty

[reef flume]

Are the Atelier Ryza/Yumia gears worth crafting?

[vale pelican]

Yes

[reef flume]

Why tho?

[vale pelican]

What else are you gonna do with the mats? :D

They enable the collab chars. The Ryza Chars were surprisingly good (nothing BiS but useful into the late stages).
They are also really easy to farm.

[hollow sail]

grimoire and endemeteo for future-proofing as they're the only high AVI gears equippable by any bote

others are more or less ignoreable but crystal ice bomb is still a nice pickup as are wirbel luft/panacea as that gear has seen use in pvp before

but why would you ignore anyway since they are all pretty easily obtainable

[robust nymph]

if i wait for combat data 2 to start, i can farm for 1 and 2 simultaneously?

[hollow sail]

no

[hardy creek]

How much flying flapjacks should I craft?

[forest palm]

as much as you comfortably need

[vale pelican]

all of them. (however many you need for world 15 - or if thats not a concern yet however many you can afford comfortably)

[hollow sail]

flapjack not super crucial before W15 but still a decent craft for W13-W14 as you wait to tackle W15

as it does have 1000lb bombs

[noble basin]

on the dev missions in handbook can you change it even though aint finished

[cerulean musk]

is 35k good stopping point for both events

[wind hazel]

ryza 30k is fine but point is not a concern because of x3, can easily overshoot til whatever you like
yumia 55k is good stopping point

[vague oracle]

Is Mainz worth to research for my iron blood Fleet?

[wind hazel]

as stepping stone for agir

[robust nymph]

what does this icon mean on skins?

[wind hazel]

has its own background

[robust nymph]

i find ships with insanely nice designs just to get hit by this

[hollow sail]

common sight

[robust nymph]

so event skins like these ever come back? i see some are purchasable on some shops like ticket shop or core data shop but i guess only a few?

[hollow sail]

depends

that one will probably return at some point since it's not part of a collab or anything

[red hawk]

I thought that said soaring asparagus at first

[forest palm]

[chrome frigate]

this si fine right since i cant really get a gold main gun atm thats 280+

[wind hazel]

sextuple wasted on her

[chrome frigate]

what should i put there instead then?

[wind hazel]

+10 your gear too

[wind hazel]

any other aa gun, sextuple is better on aa carries like guam or sandiego

enough to buy everything necessary

[chrome frigate]

i was using this as a guide

[wind hazel]

yeah dont follow it 100%, it won't be accurate everytime. like how 76mm is missing, the purple cb gun you're missing isn't listed, etc

[tropic tusk]

those aa are used in differnt place, they just list the general wep not all

[chrome frigate]

ok so use anything else on that list except the bofors im using currently then? or is there a better option

[wind hazel]

quad bofor, twin113, twin90, anything works for agir. sextuple is just better on AA carries, like i said previously

[chrome frigate]

im looking for general use so i dont have to think XD

[wind hazel]

before w15 you can slap every ship with twin113 and it will work

vanguards anyway

[red hawk]

@wind hazel I got hood from the medal shop, I've heard there's a specific gun for it?

or maybe not specifically for it, but a best one

[wind hazel]

uh, not exactly specific specific, twin410 will do

like Gangut wants specific gun, but not Hood

or Musashi etc, some ship really want specific guns. Hood you can just use twin410 or mk6

[red hawk]

when I was looking at the scrap guide, it referred to one of the guns as "looking like the hood gun but that's not it"

so I wasn't sure if that meant there was one I should be keeping an eye out for

[wind hazel]

this is hood gun, it's very shit and can be scrapped

[red hawk]

oh ok

so I DONT want to use that one, good to know

[chrome frigate]

thats sad that their gun is garbage x.x

[red hawk]

I was looking at reddit discussion of it, and it said its problem is low damage, the high rate of fire wouldnt really make enough of a difference, and other guns have high investment costs, so the ones mori recommended are best

Hood better than nina for my second fleet backline?

[hollow sail]

for hood i would really just stick with twin 410mm since hood has mediocre main gun dmg compared to your usual BB aand fast gun keeps her main fleet reload buff uptime longer which is nice

[red hawk]

what about for a secondary?

[hollow sail]

depends on your budget, if very new then the same logic that applies to DD main gun more or less applies to BBs that need DD secondary

[narrow kiln]

Do TBF avenger buff from both yellow skills retrofit Independence stacks?

[hollow sail]

yes

[forest palm]

the cheapest go to for Hood would be a pruple Twin 120

[hollow sail]

cleveland-class + retro provides strongest barrage

basically non-retro + cleveland is same as retro but non-cleveland

[narrow kiln]

hmm...
And what Cleveland class ships would be good overall?

[warped acorn]

this good?

[hollow sail]

santa fe, montpelier, maybe houston 2? idk

santa fe prob best since she's most modern by a bit

[hollow sail]

that's the sub torp, not really

[warped acorn]

what abt comparing it to all purple torps

[hollow sail]

it's not a homing torp so it's kinda meh

[warped acorn]

alr guess i wasted a dock space on a shit again

[gilded carbon]

Yeah. But the Guide simply stated that the Prototype one was fast and thus could get more heals Out. The only reason i put it in

[gilded carbon]

When i get more, yeah. Sounds reasonable

[red hawk]

where can I get them besides all the way back at 4-2

[forest palm]

out of any purple or gold British Gear Box

[wind hazel]

IJN isn't it

[red hawk]

I'm pretty sure it's sakura boxes

[wind hazel]

oh twin120

[red hawk]

I can't remember

[wind hazel]

i read that as 410

[forest palm]

[red hawk]

ive popped so many I can't remember what comes from what

[forest palm]

but yes the Twin 120 from HMS Gear Boxes, or the Twin 128 rom KMS boxes works fine enough for hood if you're looking for cheap options

[civic prairie]

to farm shipyard exp,is by repeating sortie on 9-1 good enough?

[wind hazel]

go higher, 9-1 is very slow

12-1 at least if possible

[urban moth]

So, is this just straight up lying or what?

[tame jungle]

it's worded pretty poorly. i think the training refers to the xp gain, but you still get the extra morale from the dorm slots

[hollow sail]

it is referring that you don't get another slot to the right

[red hawk]

I'm starting to level my 2nd fleet vanguard, is San Diego, Javelin, and Isla viable?

[hollow sail]

if you have 3 at the bottom them you will have 3 at the top

[red hawk]

the 2nd fleet has a backline of Enty, Sara and Hood

[wind hazel]

if isla isnt mlb then drop her for another

[red hawk]

I have enough to MLB everyone just need coins

[wind hazel]

ideally you want another tank instead of abusing sandy

[red hawk]

so maybe prinz instead?

[wind hazel]

no

what do you have? got a thread somewhere?

[red hawk]

I'll post a dock thread, I only had one for gear or I can post at the end of that one

[wind hazel]

just post there

[dark terrace]

I just got Vanguard, should I invest in it or not? I'm developing NewJ at the moment!!!

[candid yarrow]

any way to track my build history? I believe I've spent almost 400 cubes on this banner but I don't remember the exact number

[plain saffron]

you can use the permanent banner spark counter

1 point per cube used

[hollow sail]

she's solid but works as a force multiplier. if you're new it's probably best to hold off for a bit before investing deeply in UR exchange ships; often is recommended to go for shinano as the first and to MLB her with duplicates repeatedly obtained from exchange as well. how far along is new jersey developed?

[keen owl]

Is Chao Ho skin limited collab?

[noble pawn]

For morale recovery actually possible just can't increase ship level iirc

[brazen jackal]

How do I do this, it's been stuck on 4% since forever😭

[forest palm]

are you using 3 ships?

Vanguard XP flow is naturally slow as well

[midnight salmon]

Hello I tried to reach fate sim with Agir but it’s not allowing me to proceed. Does she not have a fate sim 5?

[wind hazel]

she doesnt

[noble pawn]

Have u using Eagle Union ship to level. Mostly 3 ship

[hollow sail]

🥶

[noble pawn]

Lol wrong faction bro

[wind hazel]

sir ironblood is not eagle union

[forest palm]

fuckin hell...

[dark terrace]

@hollow saillevel 56 skills level 6 and 5 stars

[midnight salmon]

Damn is there any chance she’ll get it or has the dev team not said anything about it ?

[brazen jackal]

[wind hazel]

she will get it, whenever dev feels like it

[midnight salmon]

[wind hazel]

DR fate sim 5 is kinda random

[midnight salmon]

Ok tyty

[candid yarrow]

the UR? I just filled it so it reset lol

also general question, how do I farm oil? I heard people farm low world maps with an oil efficient fleet for oil commissions but I don't remember much about it

[plain saffron]

wait and do a lot commissions

[forest palm]

swip

[candid yarrow]

similar to how people farm low corruption opsi maps for the action points

[plain saffron]

you can get comms by playing other stages also and there seems to be some cooldown on how much comms can spawn anyway

[candid yarrow]

I'm doing my dailies but I always find myself out of oil and I want to keep a bunch in the mail storage if I don't need it, but for regular grinding it just doesn't seem like enough to keep up

[forest palm]

comission farming for oil isn't really sustainable

[candid yarrow]

is it actually that bad

[wind hazel]

if you grind a lot, the oil won't keep up with the production. either wait faster or swipe and buy oil

[candid yarrow]

canteen is capped anyway at some point isn't it

[forest palm]

don't for get, touch grass

[candid yarrow]

most of the time i'm on my pc for work stuff so it's just running 12-4 in the background as much as possible

[hollow sail]

this is not a thing people do any more

that's a thing that people did back when you could scrap ship drops for oil

and before oil cap really became a thing

[forest palm]

I do that too, my solution is just swiping for oil shamelessly

[plain saffron]

thank you for paying ther servers

[candid yarrow]

oh yeah, I vaguely remember that being a thing at some point

[forest palm]

I think over the like 7 years I've spent a little over 200$ on oil not too bad

[candid yarrow]

I'd consider it but I'm not in THAT deep yet

same with cubes I assume it's just doing missions and comms or spending money

[forest palm]

and gems to an extent

[plain saffron]

2-1 my beloved

[hollow sail]

even 2-1 gem comm farming is rather obsolete now, when you can basically do the same thing by just doing opsi C1 instead

[forest palm]

2-1 farming died long ago

[candid yarrow]

is this actually a thing lol

I only remember that for action point crates from akashi

[hollow sail]

it is a thing, but i think comms from opsi might have a reduced rate in terms of the amount of battles you need. the main point of C1 is the AP

still you can pick up some gems in time

[candid yarrow]

mmh yeah makes sense

[candid yarrow]

doesn't seem to be that many though, I don't think I've seen more than like 30 from a gem comm, and realistically the comms are already rare and you have a pretty high chance of not getting anything

[hollow sail]

you can get up to 60

really just depends on your luck (and i think which specific comm it is also influenced it iirc)

[forest palm]

better than doing the SSR ship coms

[candid yarrow]

I wonder if anyone knows the actual rate of these. I swear I see them like once a blue moon

[late flame]

its rng

[forest palm]

only rates that are publically known are the gacha, and Akagi + Kaga

[noble pawn]

Do you guys think building San Diego is worth it for mid game

[candid yarrow]

her retro is good

[red hawk]

I had her recommended to me, and I'm building her into mid game

[candid yarrow]

surely the other map specific ships are not as bad as the fox hell

[noble pawn]

I have spec core enough for her Sparkling Mic

[forest palm]

a lot of us assume that map drop rates reflect Akagi + Kaga drop rates, it's speculation but it's within reason to speculate this much

[candid yarrow]

is there not a datamine on stuff like that yet 💔

[red hawk]

the event maps are dropping a lot of stuff

[forest palm]

there's nothing to datamine the rates on server side there's nothing on the client side to see

[red hawk]

and they only really have to disclose rates on gacha stuff right, not the mission

[robust nymph]

this fleet fails 11-3 hard mode boss, whats the issue?

[red hawk]

because the only thing that they're gonna get nailed for in court is hiding gacha rates to fleece users, stuff that's not connected to the lootboxes doesn't matter

[forest palm]

considering it's world 11 probably not keeping up with suicide boats, and burn

[hollow sail]

11-3 mentioned

[robust nymph]

i was auto and afk so i didnt see anything.. should i change aya for sirius?

[candid yarrow]

idk I think it'd be pretty funny to see if the droprate was like 3% and some dude with 1k 3-4 clears still don't have either

[red hawk]

the guide told me not to farm foxes, so I'm assuming that's something I'll want to save when I'm not gonna burn all my resources

[wind hazel]

need to see gear

[hollow sail]

11-3 boss is 2 light armor botes that move a lot. there's a healthy dose of suicide boats but with 2 BB it shouldn't be that much problem

more likely is that the BBs are whiffing or something

[robust nymph]

gear is pretty much the best in slot of the easily achievable gear all +10

[wind hazel]

need to see

[hollow sail]

might also be eating a healthy dose of torps, consider torp bulge

[robust nymph]

sure, if theres something off id be happy to know it

[hollow sail]

you are using AP guns

[wind hazel]

use mk6

[hollow sail]

the boss is light armor, so yeah

[wind hazel]

give sandy eva, ayanami toolkits

maybe better gun too, that gun kinda sucky

[hollow sail]

eva + bulge on prinz and sandy and 2 HP aux on aya

[candid yarrow]

isn't gold quad mag better than rainbow mag lol

[robust nymph]

such as? not sure which ones you mean

[candid yarrow]

both bb guns are ap

[wind hazel]

change from top to bottom

[hollow sail]

the guns you are using atm are AP guns. which isn't good for the boss. use the purple 406mm mk6 or another better HE gun you might have

[robust nymph]

i have 2 mk6 +10, will change

but besides for this boss the ap guns should be default? or what do i leave on

[wind hazel]

no lion gun? that one is even better

[robust nymph]

whats the name in game?

[candid yarrow]

swap based on armor type

[wind hazel]

406mm MK II

[robust nymph]

oh nah i dont have rinbow weaps

[hollow sail]

for mobs it somewhat depends on the bote, but usually the best is considered to be twin 457mm but you probably don't have that

[wind hazel]

honestly anything below w13 i'd just stick to mk6

[robust nymph]

also what aux is for eva? you mean radar?
those torps on aya are not worth you think?

[hollow sail]

the more threatening mob enemies tend to be medium/heavy

[candid yarrow]

also ^ (?)

[candid yarrow]

toolkit or any aux that give hp should work

[wind hazel]

evasion aux, like the rudder you have on eugen. not worth sacrificing survivability on ayanami, or most DDs. if she's surviving then 1 is fine, but it's usually not a good risk to take most of the time, especially when you're failing the stage

[wind hazel]

most of the time yeah

[robust nymph]

did you mean the blue weapon on aya? i thought that one was bis

[wind hazel]

quint mag is usually for timing or shorter fight

[wind hazel]

no on sandiego

can consider crafting twin128 in gear lab, good and cheap DD gun

[hollow sail]

the gun is honestly passable as is

[robust nymph]

aah these are my (limited) ooptions

[hollow sail]

you can just stick with that one for now

could check your prints to see if you have better by chance like a harbin gun or something but yea

[robust nymph]

miss this for twin 128

[hollow sail]

i wouldn't know what prints you got

[wind hazel]

just keep using that then

[robust nymph]

i can put the one rudder on sandy, and one survival kit on aya for the +7 torp

no way im 24/25 to craft the rudder grr

[wind hazel]

even blue eva aux works

[hollow sail]

what's a "survival kit for +7 torp"

[wind hazel]

TL: toolkit to replace +7 oxytorp

[robust nymph]

yeah sorry lol repair kit not survival

speaking of, i thought the sg radar was mainly used for eva, but seems like not it?

im trying to understand what each piece of gear does instead of just putting it blindly but its confusing

[wind hazel]

it's only mainly for helena lol

[hollow sail]

also i see you are not making any normal augs, when you have the spare coins, you might as well make them. it's only like 5k coins a pop

[robust nymph]

its more about the rocks needed, i have 19 now, was considering lusty weapon

[hollow sail]

you shouldn't need much for purple augs but maybe this is a new player plight that i'm not in touch with

also you can level with blue augs

[robust nymph]

4 rocks for 1 purple aug, not much but im prioritizing unique augments

[hollow sail]

you just select all the blue aug stuff that you'd never use

[red hawk]

would it be a bad idea to buy a single tech box from core monthly for the handbook to use the least resources right now?

just like a purple one?

[hollow sail]

bad idea

you naturally end up with more boxes than you can possibly ever care about just by playing the game normally and never even thinking about buying a box

[robust nymph]

i tried again again 11-3 hard with gear swaps and now it wasnt even close, i wonder if it was mostly rng or those little changes made such a huge diff

[hollow sail]

well the BB guns are making your battleships deal like 3.5x more damage with the main gun mounts

[red hawk]

I just meant to complete the handbook entry

you need to make a single monthly core purchase

[hollow sail]

handbook isn't going anywhere, just don't worry about it

[spice phoenix]

are any of the collab ships worth using? (i doubt it but you never know)

[hollow sail]

none warp the meta as expected. "worth" is somewhat relative and subjective based on how new you are

[sacred mica]

A silly question, what should i do? Im on a bottleneck, i am at level 69 initial and i dont know what i should do

*early level 69

[hollow sail]

you're gonna have to be more specific than that

[red hawk]

yumia is decent

[sacred mica]

So basically ive finished like the basic campaign that i can unlock rn and can only advance to chapter 10 at level 70 but i think that will take a lot of sortie to do so, my gears arent that good and here are some of my ships which are all still being developed. Should i just grind gears or should i do sps and if so which ones? Im trying to go for that shoe thingy on the ex but im not sure if i should do that, so im asking for what i should use my oils on

[red hawk]

I'm also on chapter 9 and I've just been grinding the event

[hollow sail]

you should probably be doing event stuff right now

[sacred mica]

I dont really like the event so idk, i wanna do smth that is productive for the long run, idk

[sacred mica]

Oh

[hollow sail]

event is productive.

you can get research bps, gold plates, etc. and maybe even a gear or two that might see use somewhere

[sacred mica]

Thank u for the advice

[hollow sail]

and cog chips/arrays, can never have too many of those as well

[robust nymph]

fleet 2 is mobbing, will it survive 12-4?

[hollow sail]

cog chips and gold plates are some of the biggest real bottlenecks late game

the sooner you start getting your hand on as many of them as possible the better

[wind hazel]

kinda sussy, but haitien is definitely gonna sink

[robust nymph]

i can xp boost her to 75, maybe would be worth it (implying 75 is enough to survive, which im not even sure about)

[sacred mica]

U mean these?

[wind hazel]

i doubt 75 is enough

12-1 is fine, but 12-4 is different

[robust nymph]

i need the gold, but i also am farming eagle union xp and waifu haitien xp.. maybe a bit greedy

[gilded carbon]

Its a Marathon, not a Sprint

[hollow sail]

yea talking about most of the stuff there. also, you should go to those things in the bottom right (combat data collection) select all of them and turn them all into proto cores

[robust nymph]

im already surprised fleet2 is surviving without unicorn, the jump from 12-4 to even 13-1 is insane

[hollow sail]

just click analyze on them and turn into protocore

that is all they're good for

[sacred mica]

Oh okay

[hollow sail]

it's a significant jump compared to anything before it for sure. but big levels and decent ships steamroll it

[sacred mica]

I was searching for them lol

So all of them?

[hollow sail]

yep, just click max and melt down all of it

[sacred mica]

And what should i buy with these?

[hollow sail]

it will depend on your specific needs, but there's a few recommended stuff

probably easier to have you look at the equipment recommendation guide for that

/equip
