What's the difference between tai yuan's vanguard mode and main fleet mode?
Main fleet and vanguard
Basically ddgs can be back line ships
hardy creek
Oh damn
forest palm
you almost never use DDG in the main fleet

Main fleet DDGs don't really do enough to justify putting them there, especially when they remain pretty squishy fwiw

lacking a bit of tank option for 2nd fleet so you need to move portland, can use a budget option for mob like Phoenix until you have someone better. something like massena nelson saratoga portland z23 baltimore could work, need to mlb baltimore though. either her or le hardi. if you can get more lehardi from shop/map drop that would be nice
tbh you probably just need a bit more level. hood has augment yes?

What are peoples opinions on Essex retro? After playing around with her for a bit I just don’t understand really how she’s meant to be used. Her barrages are a bit of a mixed bag and she only really synergises with YorkII+Kear who’re awkward to work with, have no time stop and are anti-light and it doesn’t seem Essex is built towards that
warped acorn
does essex have/req sync...
turbid dawn
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EZISMkGAHg
Yeah I mean after going through this video it just kinda reaffirms that she’s not gonna be used tbh. In a vacuum by herself she’s okay against heavy but you’re not gonna take out Nano, Hark and Amagi
late flame
she's kinda in a weird spot yeah given her choice of partners are kinda limited
turbid dawn
The only one you maybe could replace would be Nano right? But the issue is Nano gives the AA reduction for more plain damage and she buffs every torpedo in the fleet, so every TB and probs Inzen if you’re doing heavy
So her damage might be a bit better but I think Nanos buffs still outclass her
late flame
would be funny if jp anni comes up with something that powercreeps Shinano
turbid dawn
does essex have/req sync...
Well generally you wanna sync all your back lines. And she buffs only Eagle union CVs. And the problem is Kear+YorkII are more suited to light bosses where Essex is more heavy and they don’t have a way to stop boss to guarantee hits which is needed most of the time against light bosses
warped acorn
Well generally you wanna sync all your back lines. And she buffs only Eagle unio...
oh damn u mean the ones that can stop boss...
wait cvs only?
turbid dawn
Correct, and yeah that’s why people like Eld, Implac and Nahkimov so much
warped acorn
Correct, and yeah that’s why people like Eld, Implac and Nahkimov so much
no wonder, but they arent eagle union..
seems like sacrifice req
turbid dawn
Well that’s why I think she’s in an awkward spot since she doesn’t synergies or do anything the best. At least she’s good for W15 support ig?

It might take some time to actually get them and max them but you can look at some PR ships
Like Taz says, you can get Roon, Agir, or Anchorage
red hawk
I already have kala, so I was thinking of swinging her and nina up to my main fleet to replace portland and penny and giving those two to my weaker second fleet to beef it up a bit
so it'd be Uni Nina Yumia/Kala Z23 Helena with Enty Penn Sara/Portland Sandy Shigure
forest palm
that certainly wouldn't be a bad idea
red hawk
i have all the augments for the relevant ships

don't necessarily know about investing in Shigure though

she's already refit lol, I didn't have a lot of options at the time for the second van

sandy had a purple one but she's in a different fleet so does that matter? or do I want to prioritize having a gold roomba specifically for her

still learning the differences, and even two ships in the same class can be different because of abilities and stats

30 luck is worth about 6% tankiness, so divide the HPs after gear and tech to fi...
so a general rule of thumb is that the higher the hp, the more important luck is?
ie 30 luck does more for a fatty like gouden than it does for a destroyer
slow fox
That depends. If that 30 extra LCK contributes to the destroyer hitting her evasion cap, then it may be that the %improvement is greater in a destroyer.
steady vigil
what's the evasion cap? I was under the impression that luck applies to evasion rate and not evasion
ie it bypasses evasion softcap
slow fox
Luck and evasion applies to evasion rate. Which is then capped to 0.9
The general rule of thumb that I use is:
3 LCK ~ 1% eHP improvement for low
LCK ships
5 LCK ~ 1% eHP improvement for moderate LCK ships.
7 LCK ~ 1% eHP improvement for high LCK ships.
steady vigil
so when it comes to the albion report auxiliary, this is better on high evasion ships than low evasion ships?
since the closer you get to the cap, the more impactful each additional % is
ie 86 -> 90 is better than 10 -> 14
slow fox
That would only be true if the formula was 1/(1/EVA) - which it is asymptotically not.
Using Albion Report might beat out mere EVA Boosts in some cases (probably a middling EVA domain), but for high EVA ships, I would still recommend HP auxes.

what's going on with the oil cap mechanic? if I use 2 ships it costs 1488, if I use 6 it costs 1602.
this is really weird
red hawk
what exactly is the 5k oil cost item in opsi and is it worth it?
elfin hollow
What stage and what's the oil cap for them? Oil cap just limits the amount of oil spent if the oil cost exceeds the cap
steady vigil
the final event stage, I'm trying to figure out how to farm 55k points without deleting my oil, but that doesn't really seem to be possible
sweet delta
what exactly is the 5k oil cost item in opsi and is it worth it?
It allows you to do all zones without first clearing an adjacent zone, and it uses reconnaissance on all explorable zones. So you pay 5k oil for the ability to strategic search all explorable zones, not extra rewards.
elfin hollow
Your oil cost is likely below the oil cap running just 2 ships, 6 ships would've been far more expensive than 1602 without the cap
steady vigil
of course, but isn't the cap so low that there's no reason to ever run fewer than 6 ships?
elfin hollow
Yeah, but that's because you're letting more ships get exp. That and you get more coins for more oil spent with oil capped stages
sweet delta
You can do 20 oil mob fleet Unicorn DDG vs the 35 oil for using 6 ships and gaining exp
If you have much time, then playing T6 with a 4 oil fleet is far more efficient for points per oil
elfin hollow
Yes, 801 × 2 with the logistics plan

is the best to do, focusing in one fleet till W9 and avoid spread ur resourcers, at W9 farm few times 9-4 for XP and get resourcers and invest in 2nd fleet to keep pushing till W12

red hawk
this isn't a game that always has a banner worth pulling up, or that rotates highlight banners like say honkai or something
weary gust
oh ok thank. What do you mean by 1 light per day
When you go to the Build menu you'll see "Event" "Light" "Heavy" "Special"
Those are different pools of ships. All of them cost 2 cubes per build except light, which costs 1 cube. You do light build once per day for the daily mission outside of events, to save cubes for building during events.
red hawk
it has standard banners then event banners, and the standard banners aren't worth pulling between events and there is downtime between them

Is it good to have multiple of the same ship in a fleet? But a different variant

normaly it will be 3 banners to use ur cubes
light
heavy

heavy and special are 2 cubes per build
light is 1
diff between them are ships that can be adquired by
for begginers, that dosnt matter, and with several years of play u will be with quite alot of ships, so dosnt need to worry about for now
red hawk
and you only need one copy of the UR ship per event because you can get limit break items without dupes.
you don't want multiple copies of the same ship outside of limit breaking

you need to 100% clear a stage to advance to the next one (and sometimes there's a commander lvl requirement too)
3* is not related to that
left cedar
but that need a insane amount of effort and knowledge
cosmic osprey
how do i know how much i got left to do
left cedar
iirc, game change and till W10 or something u need 1 time to get 100%
weary gust
how do i know how much i got left to do
If it says "Cleared" you don't need to keep repeating the stage unless you can't beat the next. If it says "25%" or "50%" after one clear, you'd need to clear it 4 times or 2 times in total respecitvely.
cosmic osprey
it says cleared for me
left cedar
after u will be seeing a xx% on map and next one wont be in screen
cosmic osprey
it says 100%
weary gust
Then you can go to the next map.
left cedar
once u get 100% change to cleared
and u can go to next node or W(world - map)
cosmic osprey
it says cleared for me
left cedar
4 maps per campaign
events vary, but its 3 or 4 per node
if u clear all 4, have a "arrow" in ur right to u go to next world(chapter)

friend fire dosnt exist in this game, works for both, enemy and u
and in this game "hit" enemys mean recieve and deal damage, and that mean u get f*cked, cuz they have alot more HP than u

strange that it will sound, game is funny once u have to work ur brain to get resourcers, use them smartly, get ur waifus and advance in campaign/Op.Si ... once u have that done and have plenty of resourcers get bored asf

i know what you mean but isn't that with most games tho

kinda of, some games like for example, Cyberpunk u still can have fun once u have a max lvled character with plenty of awesome gear and go to town and make the caos happens ... in this game this option dosnt exist ...

don't underestimate how much XP you can get from C1 farming
red hawk
I don't know what that means
stark quiver
don't underestimate how much XP you can get from C1 farming
how much
viscid swift
it's when you farm C1 secured nodes in OpSi, unlike 2-1 farming it's actually net positive for AP if you do it long enough
stark quiver
i was thinking of c1ing for my ship retro levels

2-1 is net zero for AP. Zero cost, zero gain

some gears are good for every ship of that class, like rudder + toolkit for cruisers
and other gears are good 90% of the time so you can leave them on 100% of the time like the quad mag torps and AA guns
only for backline does the gear you use change more often from different content
