if you are going to whale anyway then dont start over
I don’t know how to buy gems in this game bro
im not gonna whale
then happy grinding
…what is whale btw
This game is kinda cheap on paying, imma pay if i know the method
*either vanguard or shinano
clear HT6
hard t6 there a toggle at the bottom of T6
I have every UR except for Laffey II and Yorktown II can I skip the new UR
Epic fail. I thought that there is no Hard because no selector at the bottom of screen, like in the past. Thanks!
why tho lol
does it matter what server i pick
... we dont even know who the new ur is and what she does
yesn't. The only thing that makes it better than the other ones is current medal shop rotation. But since it's nearing end of the month with shop reset coming soon it'll depend if you can get the medals fast enough on a new acc
oh ok thanks ima start over, wish me luck. Now i know the game a bit better i can manage my resource better and not spend the gems on cubes like i did
after AvP,who's next?
I have 40 cubes
(completed Agir,Haku,Ancho,Monarch and FdG)
I have literal scraps
I think plymouth is the next step but I'm not sure so better wait for someone elses answer.
how do you get augment modules? (the material)
event shop, daily raids, cruise missions
300 gems i think for only 11 cubes… damn it was a mistake ive been doing back then when i was also a newbie haha. I was also desperate when there is a banner.
Dont buy cubes with gems bro
Was joking
no no no, I use gems on dock space and “necessary things”
yh i got desperate
😭
is eldridge retro equip coming back?
Check the filter for augments 
Those are the ships with unique augs im asking if any are high priority
saratoga > san diego. mainly because you aren't using san diego yet
Sandy? Kk, i know shes super good aa but i didnt know if i should have been prioritizing lvling her
besides your main fleet she's a high priority to level up.
Tier list for augment modules, rating each unique module's effectiveness and how recommended it is to craft.
Kk
How the hell do you get rid of this notif?
you either dont have a ship currently being worked on for unlocking
or a ship has an unsubmitted mission
I think it also shows that you have (free?) coining available.
negative
I have every other ship unlocked
yeah the notif will remain until you can start her
That was never a thing with other ships? WHy now all of a sudden?
that has been always a thing
I can't seem to clear 14-3 with this guide
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief/
the fleets are level 125 with max skills and +10 gold or rainbow gear
I have air supremacy
The only ideas I have left are meowficers, mood, enhancing gear over +10, manual play
Have I missed something silly?
First part of the Chapter 14 guide, with example fleets for auto and explanations of ship roles.
It's kinda silly then to give you a notif about something you can't do for 23hr then, no?
the game has a few useless notifications. the worst one is in operation siren "unable to leave through this zone" i never understood this
redundencies withstanding it's just how the game is made, take it up with #game-feedback 
how much xp loss compare to 12-1 and 12-4
you gain more xp going to 12-1 and lose coin compared to 12-4, the difference is very 🤏

open a thread, post what you're using, and your dock, SR and UR only
alright give me a moment to get that done
map 12-1 is 6.11 Coin / Oil
map 12-4 is 6.80 Coin / Oil
i dont know where to find the exact exp
oh damn the ratio, but thanks bro!
Azur Lane Guides: Chapter 14 Brief
who should i mlb???
Will Fritz Rumey be back to the game 
hold off as JP anniversary can change things up
eventually, but not any time soon
So happy ending?
why jp anniv
ive just started over im thinking of spending 1 quid and get the saratoga, is it worth it
Sara drops in a lot of places.
JP anniv next month will have another UR ship, and it might be good enough to prioritize, may as well wait
no
just focus on the recommended beginner fleet
okok
this time ima make sure i dont spend my gems on cubes 😭
can someone send the beginner guide again i can't find it
thanks
a l2d skin in this game is roughly around 10$ right? or there's cheaper way to buy them
yeah, and that's the cheapest you can get them
thankss
yo can mogador have a rerun? or is it unobtainable now
next year
o aight thanks👍
She wont be back for a good while
o is fine i can wait
i mean, 4 UR reruns away is ~1 year, so that estimate of "next year" still seems likely enough
left to right row by row starting from the top
crossed out ones have already rerun, beyond that in order they initially ran and what we assume will be the rerun order by default
wait we can only claim so many spec cores?
aight rhanks👍👍
5k a month + medal shop.
5k from research/weeklies/stage clears combined monthly, plus what you can buy from the medal shop, so yeah, it is limited
medal buys don't count towards the limit?
nope
well this is kinda late don't you think game. Hmmmm free medal I guess?
Correct.
so the actual cap per month is 8k spec core
ah yeah, cores you get from retiring UR ships count towards that 5k limit also lol
you read that correctly.
if you play regularly, you will always overcap the monthly
I have 3 SRs and 3 gold bulins, who should I limit break if anyone?
- Graf Zeppelin (already at LB 2 from dupes but level 40, won’t reach LB 3 req for a while)
- Prinz Eugen (LB0)
- Peter Strasser (LB0)
don't LB just to LB
none of the above tbh
none are worth
+strasser could eventually be worth for tech late game, but it is definitely not worth for newer player yeah
helena w/ or w/o sg radar?
whether she uses SGR or not depends on what gear you're using, and who you're using
like the fleet?
mhm
Is kearsarge is worth it to research and use for non pvp only?
if you're looking to make a good anti light fleet Kears is good for that especially with Yorktown II or Essex retro
for vanguard I js run yuudachi/helen/roon and for main I run essex/warspite/shinano (I know it doesn't make sense but I honestly js realised how f-ed up this is)
in campaign kearsarge is quite meh - her use is mainly vs light armor per Taz's comment
Oh alrighty then
so if the other main fleet ship except her are eu cv/cvl, she get 3% buff? (its lv 1 skill)
With the PR and DR ships, can they still be viable below dev 30? Bout to finish Kansas and got enough BPs to get her around dev 20 then starting kearsarge with enough to hit around dev15-18ish.
go all the way to dev30
I plan to but BPs taking a bit to stack up for 30. Just curious how poor performance will be below 30
i believe that counts herself, so 4.5% (15% at level 10)
oh nice
generally safe to assume skills count the owner unless it specifies "for every other" or the like if they match the condition
is ognevoy good in 15-4?
no
hmmm i see thanks. i just going to try her on boss i guess shes wont survive
Chat quick question u 81 or avrora
what
avrora or aurora
neither
Strasser can be expensive according to her augment. But she can be fine equivalent of AvP as has stun for enemy
Is this for wishing well?
-u81 can form wolfpack with any of u96/101/47/37
but submarine is niche and mostly optional until you hit campaign w14 / late opsi / harder EX fights etc
-HMS aurora is good vs light, but you do need to form a fleet around her (e.g. yorktown2,kearsarge etc)*
-russian avrora is meh
Yass Ess aside
do you need the augment? for her to be good, I mean
yes + you'll also need to MLB (max limit or full stars) her
Yes. Without only slow with some chances
Pick Yat Sen + AURora (not Avrora)
That's why she good
is she even good?
last i heard the aug is kinda meh and doesn't really meet the timing
good is not enough these days if comparing to 🌈 kek
If u really need 81 and can afford it with cubes go for it
Who else do u have as options? Can u show?
no, compared to AVP lol
avp?
time to find suchi's notes
oh the pr4 ib cv
Another variant Implacable but she appears in perma in 2 years or so
is strassen better for boss/mob
Imho she little better AVP but it's a my point
Yes
You can spook them in event banners
But most events are not light banner
Why only those 2?
Do u have other options?
is odin gun the fastest bb gun?

for what context
need to clear opsi fast
remove BB
457 
opsi mob? unicorn+any 5
go for preload and fast load CVs, remove your BB
im confused cuz it said 18s reload, vs odin is 15s reload
being fast doesn't excuse being shit 
mikasa gun is the fastest
if you really wanna use a BB then put mikasa gun on Musashi
that's the fastest BB you can get. but i recommend going 3 CV, it will be faster
Yes AVP more versatile while Strasser have strong buff for IB cv fleet. And as we have only good Fritz from IB cvs AVP can be a common choice. But for AVP you'll need IB main fleet for research so not bad investment in Strasser
good luck getting it again if you already scrapped because you'll need to roll mikasa
do I run essex/enty or essex/shinano?
essex + shinano would have more consistency 
ijn essex kai when
I don't really need the 3 ijn ship right
where it matters, you want to
it would improve Shinano's damage...
realistically you only need 2 because Shinano counts herself
... I think I didn't read the skill properly bruh
2 more, which is 3 total
this game is bad at explaining itself, more so than a long winded YGO card
what's an easily obtainable and good ijn ship
Hakuryuu, and Kazagumo 
well Shokaku instead of Hakuryuu
if you want to be poor about it
haku can be easy to obtain depending on your research
and/or if you wanna $$$ on her instead of anchorage
which one do i get? im currently on 14-4
my vanguard is -1 to mlb, do I use it or save it for possible upcoming ones
if i say i have some of the other ur bb, would you change your answer?
if you have other ur bbs, i'd argue you should take vanguard even more so
aight thankss
Who should I use the invite on? I already have a monty
got essex?
no>essex
yes, but not mlb>essex
mlb essex>she needs 3 more copies for retrofit, essex
got essex retrofit>check pin
It's for the 7th anniversary
yes im aware
yes, make sure you get her retrofit item from minigame as well
Just start and leave the gamemode 7 times
run the minigame 7 times in a row (start, exit game)
Ok, I already got the item
Can someone tell me which team can beat this boss?
i went with the same setup as vs KawaMETA (recc fleets shld be pinned iirc)
Kearsarge / Yorktown2 / Lion
Eldridge retro / Trafalgar / Plymouth
Without these characters we can't beat this boss??
If you are doing normal mode most should beat it
I can just use the prototype MK2 on the Essex right
because you think they're the only team that tried to do it?
I think this is an equipment issue, I don't own any equipment like this
is essex absolute evasion worth to build a fleet w 4 uss
her blue skill isnt worth considering for fleet building no
I have this kind of equipment more or less everywhere
for w15 it can be done
depends on what fleet you're building but it's not hard to include 4 USS in a working comp with her
iirc the percentage is too low to be worth the while
eldr (no retro tho)/anch/helena I guess?
what other ships you got, best to take out perseus unicorn for some dps instead, probably gonna need some tank to work with too
don't think too much about building around it, it doesn't save you from end-screen damage so the best it does is help lighten the pressure on your vanguard ships in plane heavy maps
eh true enough
I just honestly don't know what I'm supposed to put on my boss fleet
what are you using it for?
boss fleet for what though
campaign boss fleets are entirely different from showdown/arbiter fleets
Oh right
just campaign
york2+essex+eldridge+sandiego, good enough. add your filler BB and flex vanguard
Any good Kearsarge main fleet comps? Feeling like i'm doing something wrong.
no yorkii 
Is Guam plus a carrier fine? 
is there like a ship tracker
tracker for what, tech?
yea
nope
i have like 4 in my main fleet 💀
collab / child / muse ships all do not give fleet tech
the tech from 4 ships wouldn't really matter anyways
feels kinda pointless that ive been using them so far tho, theyre not even that good from what ive seen
depends on how good your other ships are
Def moving away
Nagisa -> Hood
Marie -> Tai yuan/ Chang chun
Kasumi -> Saint Louis?
Honoka -> probably my best BB rn, dont have the resources for warpsite
barracuda is for mob fleet and saiun kai is for boss fleet, am i right?
gearing no problem? (for boss fleet)
where are you using her
campaign
swap to parallel torps then
which
barracuda if poor, wyvern if not poor
guys, why cant i choose to focus on PR7-8?
yea
you can't focus a ship if you're looking for a PR7-8 ship to "focus" on, that's catchup
oh so i misunderstand the feature
Yo mori can i ping you to my thread from a week ago where i posted my dock for OpSi cuz idk which ship do i start with just to farm xp on research, im thinking of Izumo so i can get tech for Hakuryuu but i could wait a month for the JP anni or i could start Nakhimov
Or idk anymore
develop something, don't leave it hanging
Thats what im tryna figure out 😭
just start on izumo. who knows you only get the UR ship
and suddenly not enough tech point
aim for more, not less
well your goal is hakuryuu. so work on getting tech for hakuryuu
Izumo 68 tech for collection and mlb aint bad at all
Good day, can someone share an equipment tier list? I'd like to know how the latest equipment compares
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/
https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/
not exactly "tier list" but they suffice
Hi there. Returning player here, and I'm at that point where I'm basically relearning ship-building and fleet-building from the ground up.
I need fleets that work with Shinano, Kearsarge, Hakuryuu, New Jersey, Tirpitz, Baltimore, Sovetsky Soyuz and Rossiya, Musashi, Agir, Prinz Heinrich, Friedrich, Vanguard, UVH, and the maids of the Royal Navy.
I know that this is a very, very tall order, but any help or advice you can give me will be heavily appreciated.
make thread
post progress in campaign & opsi
show current fleets in formation & opsi; post screenshots of dock containing your botes (listing them all is convoluted when one picture says many words)
is it worth to spend decor tokens at some point? I'm at like 1300
already have expansion done
depends on how hard you want to maximize comfort
dont need to min max it was just thinking of buying a theme
if you have enough to buy the full set for a theme you like go ahead
you only really need to hit 300 comfort, 400 at most as that's when gains plateau 
it only improves your passive XP on 1F anyway so it's not super important to minmax it
I'd say at this point just buy dorm sets you personally like, you'll hit 300 eventually
yeah ive just kinda been sitting on them since I got the 2nd floor expansion but I figured it wouldn't hurt to start looking at it
they stack up fairly quickly passively
then buy furniture according to comfort gain. get everything that give the biggest comfort increase 1 by 1 until you run out of token
what does the FP part of gear do
it's the firepower stats
yea I get that but whats the damage stat for then
for gun damage. like your bb or cl gun damage
higher fp, higher pewpew damage
but dont be mislead by it. not all gear are equal
so fp increases main gun dmg?
some with lower fp might end up giving your ship bigger damage, because of various other stats involved
someone can help me explain why i cant choose pr8?
Because it's new
did i choose right ship to focus?
And please read, No Focus is one of the worst choices https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/research-focus/
Makes a recommendation to new players for how to set their Research Focus. Lists the pros and cons of focusing on each research season.
All damage is based on a stat like FP, TRP, AVI, or AA. So higher FP improves the damage of the gun and also the ship's FP-based barrages
oh!
Any idea on how to get lots of dorm coins outside of commissions?
there's no real way to speed up that part, just play the game, you'll get the chance to buy everything
Ight, just wondering cause I bought a full set for 1900 coins but now I want to increase floor space
im currently struggling a bit with W13. W12 is fairly doable now, but 13 had me surprised. is the key more Ships with specialized AA-skills? or more Carriers?
both as long as they are good ships
Fighter-based Carriers? Also, i only realized later that Hindy is... the most suboptimal Vanguard i could have taken
hindenburg can totally be balanced out with more AA on other ships, so you can still use her
fighters are very helpful but the ship herself should be good in the first place and i doubt hindy is worse than suffolk
yes & yes (provided there's ample support & other roles like AA carries are taken care of for the latter)
-# concern was probably the entire lack of AA on hindenburg, but it's not that really that big of a deal
in all honesty, i was thinking Curacoa and Charybdis
just chuck in sandykai and a good tank like ancho lol
yes, that
im saying hindys lack of aa doesnt automatically put her in the suboptimal category compared to ships that have aa
i mean, yeah
i will experiment with a few fleets, maybe i will come back to this. And likely will need to finally fully retro Sandy
but what if it's not a dev30 hindenburg
its more of a team effort
and w13 doesnt rly need aa carries but they help and sandy is a good investment for later on regardless so go ahead
then why even use her at all
she is Dev30 and wields 2 CA-guns
i mean if u have hindy d30 surely ur dock is capable of tacklin w13 without sandy 
apparently i was in your thread before, and you have very strong cvs
should have no problem trashing w13
maybe i just messed up a bit. i will see after dinner
could have been the vanguard that needed some tuning as i used some Ships for Exp-farm that i forgot to take out. Even though the Ships themselves werent bad as is
Ever since the start of the 7th EN Anniversary event, I haven't pulled anyone of the Girls yet, is it worth to skip them? or would it be a risk to miss some Valuable Tech?
level advantage do be pretty big
they are not meta per say but they have good tech but depends on u how much value CR% and tech
Is this the week when the Eldridge retrofit item will rerun?
Is she good to use with unicorn?
i mean shes great in alot of places
doesnt have any specific synergy with unicorn except u can put both of em in ur mob fleet
Good for both mob and boss?
It’ll rerun next time there’s a maintenance. There’s usually a maintenance post-event, so it should* rerun this week.

I noticed Bois's skin says L2D plus too, but what's different from a normal L2D?
More interactions
I though L2D plus was like Anchorage where there's another viewpoint
Theres normal l2d who also have that but who knows what it rly means
I mean it feels like Massena has more interactions than Bois and her skin isn't L2D plus
Massena has a few more different positions than Bois

is it worth getting warspite retrofit?
usually depends on what else you have and if you have the resources required.
have all URs except lion and trafalgar
MLB alsace, laffey2, or save? Only have 1 rn till next month, have MLB lion, trafalgar at base
since jp anniversary is close, it wouldn't hurt to wait to see how good the new UR is going to be
At that point Warspite retro would be collection tier for you
Lose her shell game and you get between leg interaction
Yeah I've seen it, it just feels like Massena has more in total, although I guess that counts as alternate view
ugh i hate chapter 15
It's that interaction that makes it L2D+ but I get what you mean
other than going triple spread is there any other way to stop a lot of torpedo?
just use them heals to heal em back, you know, like dezeven, z52, shimanto and stuff. seperate the cvls fly time
obligatory just farm an easier map
and for the record, the improved cog chip from farming 15-1 compared to 12-1 is at best not even 2 digits worth of ships uncapped to 120
That's at least the 12th day of complaining or asking about enemy torps
no dev30 golden lieu problem
Should I +13 Guam's and Mogador's main guns?
The rainbow ones
I'm using them bot in W14
mogador sure... but guam, low priority in my opinion
Guam gun is low prio
Frontline dd gun is also low prio
Did you already +13 back line guns?
If by backline guns you mean 2 Champ guns and Soyuz gun then yes
And Lion gun
Mk7 is the rainbow version of the triplr 406 mk 6 right
I forget the terminology for the guns
Corrects
Didn't know that, I'll do that then
But I do have the backline guns at +13
Also why's Guam's gun low prio
Because cb damage is eh and you probably won’t use cbs for most content where the damage matters
is the ur releasing early next month
help im getting so confused on how to clear hidden zones in opsi
Press auto-search and wait for it to do stuff
so i cleared one zone with a chest icon on top, and i did the disrupt pawn channel and left through the teleporter. but then it doesnt say anything like zone cleared and im not moving using auto search. what does that mean?
it doesn't say anything zone cleared, just leave.
You left the hidden zone, and it put you in an explorable zone which you already cleared
but do make sure you buy from akashi though if you see it
so what i did was change the current zone into hidden again and now im doing the disrupting pawn channel thingy again lmaoo
is there a way to exit this??
So it's light armor right?
If you exit then you lose that hidden zone and its rewards
For mob
Twin 457mm is better for mob, but Lion gun is quite good too
What's that
should i just exit then?
No, why would you throw away the rewards? Finish the zone until the dozen reward boxes and a teleporter appear (take the boxes then leave). That's what auto search does
btw if i want to save up for a ur how much cubes do i need roughly
A simple reference for what gear to equip in each slot for BB main guns and CV airplanes for the most commonly encountered enemy types.
you would want to go for 400 cubes just to be safe.
400 cubes
and im on chapter 2 story and is it hard to farm 400 cubes
im using the beginner fleet units. Who is the main priority to level enhance first, I was thinking portland as she is the one that tanks but I am not sure.
Portland is good to enhance
oh ok thanks and anyone else i should priorities too
Enhance others before portland
Enhance is for offense stats, and Portland's damage matters the least
But it shouldn't take too long because all gray ships you get from drops can go to enhance
Oh i see
should i upgrade my helana first
should i be leveling my fleets skills if so what levels shall i get it for now or i should not worry about it now
level unicorn's heal skill
You are minmaxing way too hard, leveling a skill 1 level too low or high or changing the order won't brick your account
Like level 10 is ok for chapter 1 or level 1 is ok for chapter 15, doesn't matter, just do it
oh sorry i was just wondering
is there a way to speed up the skill learning process
Not now
normally there isn't, but the devs sometimes have a mini event that allows you to quick finish 10 sessions per day 
oh i see
is it worth spending gems to expand how many units i can train skills cause rn i can do 2
no, 2 is all you need
oh ok
whats the best zone to grind in opsi?
i got so many of the special general blueprints, should i be doing anything with them or hold on to them
Hello! I'm new to Azur Lane and was thinking about doing the Brest or Bayard investigations because I like the French ones. But do you recommend any specific series for a new player? Is one series better than the others?
Focus 7, but as a new player you won't even have the tech points to start obtaining Bayard or Brest
Unless you built on the current banner I guess
Thank you very much!
Today would be my first day but I was looking at the wiki to see characters and game mechanics.
if you have already cleared the map zones, abyssals, strongholds, hiddens, etc, then you either do corrosion 3 spam if you have time or corrosion 5 if you dont
@sweet delta If you don't mind me asking, what does PR7 have that's better than the others?
7 and 8 are the best to focus, and 7 has the Bayard you mentioned
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/research-focus/
Makes a recommendation to new players for how to set their Research Focus. Lists the pros and cons of focusing on each research season.
Thank you very much!
should i just spend the merit points on gold bulins?
dont see anything that seems more worthwhile
unless i save for a good ship in there or something
Sometimes you might want to pick up a ship, such as Eldridge. Besides her the ships are mostly for tech reasons.
And sometimes a cube will pop up for 2k merits, goes without saying those are worth.
If you don't have her yet, and get her retrofit item which is rerunning very soon, would recommend saving merits for Eldridge.
ill do that then, thanks
hlep
what do
on the augment modules guide, i see a note that hoods module is bugged, is that still true or outdated?
It is true but not very significant
Suffer through having to tap Confirm every time you try to claim weeklies for the rest of the month
Nothing
for the wishing list for the light ships what are the 2 i should put. I want to do it so i can do my daily on it
You only have 2 days left, not much chance to get what you want if keeping to 3/1 pulls
2 is more than 0
should i do operation af action report + toolkit or hedgehog on eldridge?
She has hedgehog by default (after retrofit), you don't need to slot her with it
/corewaring
What
Did that command get removed 
No it didn't
Tf
First, it's corewarning, second, it provides no extra useful information
Oh I missed the first n
there's only one, "n" 
WHAT.
noooooo wth 
if you reach cap this month, means that you grind normally
This week ends on sunday, so... no hope, take the warning
hi how many dorm slots shall i unlock
The guide said only one
And then one more when you get second floor
By getting all the expansion license, I'm still trying to get the second one lol, 500 coins is a lot
oh i see, are you a new player too
i cant really do any campaign or event cause my team morale is verly low
im not a fan of the morale and affinity thing but it is what it is
just to be clear, you buy 1 slot, and the second dorm floor
second floor always mirrors first floor in terms of amount of slots
I'm lvl 58 rn, I know some things and some things I don't know lol
Oh rly? That's weird I never had moral problems since I made the account
<@&472236072743600148>
is this section new? its so good. basically fills in where the other equip falls short
fair i guess i am doing something wrong then 😭
I dunno, I personally changed ships many times in my lineup, kept getting new URs and what not, then recently I changed my lineup completely again.
And even more recently (yesterday) I bought a third spot for my dorm.
So rly no idea what could cause low morale.
oh i just started again today and i only have one team for now.
I have wolfpacl but how tf do you beat supply line
You made a second account? I remember seeing you ask questions a couple days ago...
yes g, i got impatiant and spent all my gems on my cubes so i made a new acc. I was being stupid
Lol, don't worry too much about it, I also spent like, 600 gems on cube packs when I started this account, and I'm back up to 1600 rn (thanks to anniversary gems lmao and some 3 star lvl rewards)
Btw did you wish for 2 ships in Build? That can greatly increase your odds for ships you rly want (or that pro players recommended you)
I wished and got the 2 ships in 2 days (granted you got enough cubes)
no i havent wish one are you talking about
In Build section, there's multiple tabs, below the main one there's something looking like a present with a heart inside I think, there you can create a custom banner with 2 ships getting a higher drop chance
oh taht i did one single on it, shall i do another ?
probably a mistake for both of you to be pulling on that shit 
I'm more of a collectioner than a stat reader, I rly wanted 2 ships so I wished them, and now I got them so rly I don't pull these since
also cube packs are generally low value and even worse value if you don't wanna 🐳
there's hardly any repeatable ways to earn gems as a f2p (that is the business model lole...)
collection you can worry about when you're NOT new
oh i should not do another summon on it
in what cases should i use crossbow or sword augments?
I'm playing this game more casually, I already got lots of good ships with amazing stats, getting ships that aren't necessarily good is fine with me
Generally sword. Crossbow for heavy AA maps.
i see, thanks
In the case of battleships the bowgun is for more damage to heavy armor, so usually only on bosses that have that armor type.
Yeah ig don't do it lol, but keep saving your cubes, I heard next event has a UR on the banner
calm thanks g for the tips. it means a lot
oh thas also really good to know, since i'm struggling a bit with arbiter hard rn
Np
oh no wait, strength is medium not hard, right?
Strength?
Arbiter
Oh armor

are the current ships in the event limited? or can you still get them at a later time but the rates are lowered?
you will be able to get them at some point in future, not any time soon
limited for now, reruns take ~2 years and they eventually get added to permanent pool

do urs get added to the 400 spark thing over time and if so how often
whenever their event gets permanently added, so they'll get a rerun after roughly 2 years and then added permanently a year after that or so
and ive heard that musashi should be the next one, is that correct?
most likely, yes
cool, thanks
should combat data packs be converted into prototype cores
Always.
how do you do that
look for them in the depot and click them, then click analyze
do we know how long we have between events?
Is the current event the first ever time showing up or a rerun?
Sometimes a week or two, sometimes there's zero downtime but that's typically when reruns are involved
It's a new event run
is this a good sub cat
@slow fox I wanna ask your help with something real quick
for the purposes of maximizing eHP does this look correct and make sense to you
Cruiser Auxes:
Slot 1(mobbing): Improved Rudder > Beaver Badge > Crystal Ice Bomb > Sneaky Stealthy Prowler > Cosmick Kicks > Gridman Calibur > Rudder/Camo
Slot 2(mobbing): Toolbox
Slot 1(bossing): Improved Rudder > Beaver Badge > Crystal Ice Bomb > Sneaky Stealthy Prowler > Cosmick Kicks > Gridman Calibur > Rudder/Camo
Slot 2(bossing): Beaver Badge > Crystal Ice Bomb > Sneaky Stealthy Prowler > Cosmick Kicks > Gridman Calibur > Toolbox
if you stick to German Subs 
otherwise it's pretty meh 
Trying to log in azur lane on pc but this shows up, anyway around it?
Can it only have one device at a time?
no, you did something wrong, note how it says the account has been bound with another in game account
you can have your account on multiple devices, but only one device at a time can be active, so you clearly did do something wrong 
Hello. You've reached the Mebot helpline.
The mobbing slots are good. We maintain the Toolbox to keep consistent eHP gains over the course of the battle in slot 2. Then, in slot 1, we go EVAmaxxing.
No other devices are currently active and the same message still shows up.
you cannot use this bind to log in
what's wrong with eva maxing on both slots for mob?
Do i need to unbind the account on my phone in order to play on the pc?
use email the black button to log in
just dont play them at the same time. close one before opening the other
I suppose practically, that the mobbing healer will always top-off the HP of the ship, making a toolkit not necessary.
In absence of that, over 6 50-second mob fights, the 18% HPBoost given by the toolkit is signifigant enough to outperform EVAGear.
The other app has been closed for hours already and the same message still shows up.
are you trying to login or to bind your account?
log in
The bossing slots I would probably say something like (taken from eHP Comparator, for a 87s battle):
Slot 1 (bossing): IPH
Slot 2 (bossing): Beaver Tag > Toolkit > Crystal ice Bomb > Sneaky Powder
actually looking at it i dont see a log in button anywhere
its at the start of the game
yeah thats what i see
click the one where your account is binded and login
thats what happens when i click on yostar
is that the email you binded or not? if not then click this one
also maybe dont show your email here
yeah its the same email
noted
what happens if you click the other email address
did you hit start at anything point, because it may have created a guest account 
and it's trying to now bind w/e to said guest account 
Don't think so
that's what it seems like 
just to make sure. is your account really binded?
yeah
in the ingame settings?
yes
click which one your account is binded on then do what it says there
if you click yostar it should look like this. this means you are logging in and not binding it
yeah thats what shows up when I click it
but it redirects me to the yostar bind thing and then shows the error message
enter the email>click generate> go to your email and copy the code>enter the code>confirm
yeah ive been doing that
are you sure its really binded? cause i just tried for my account and it works
go to the device where your account is and then go to settings> account. if its really binded then it should look like this
yeah, im going to the yostar website and game and it says connected
not the website. but ingame
did you enter your email correctly
the period or lack of period needs to be the exact same, try it without the period if you have one before the @ sign
Does anyone know when the new skins from the Anniversary are going to be fixed to be interactable in the main menu?
If it ain't L2D, it won't ever be interactable
Unless you mean the L2D skins are bugged or something, in which case who knows and/or maybe check your settings to make sure L2D/Dynamic is enabled
Have done that, its the new skins for Anchorage and Enterprise. Their model's don't appear in my dock at all when set as secretaries
Have you already tried repair L2D assets?
I haven't tried that one yet. That is next on my docket now. Any other things I can do if that doesn't work?
good luck
he also posted on reddit, and syanda replied lol
I think this is the best gear for spend the ordnance t3 alright?
Depends on what gear you have, but you usually want 1-2 tenrais
I would get the 15 prints from protocore or research personally, but I'm not the best person to ask about whats most efficient for gear prio
Is this a good loadout for Yorktown II against heavy bosses, or is Fighter-Dive Bomber-Torp Bomber better? I know there are better ship options.
If that syncs with the other carriers, sure that could work I guess
though I highly doubt it cuz double DB is pretty slow
Yes, I'm going to do that, but i want to know what i would spend my t3 ordnance.
Is there any Azur lane youtuber worth watching
like generally good, dosent spread misinfo/clickbait and enjoyable to watch lol

Well forgot about the timing there facepalm . Thanks.
Jimmy is pretty good imo.

why are there only 15 chapters in Azur lane? when I quit this game 4.5 years ago there were like 11-12 chapters already.
So during my absent they added only 3 more chapters?
it may just be 3 chapters but c14 and 15 have a large difficulty spike
go try chapter 14 and you will feel the pain
Is there a way to obtain the event characters other than pulling?
Are past elite meta ships(from cruise pass) not obtainable at the moment?
Some of them are in the META shop rn
the event ship that's the shop ship is also a map drop from B/D3
there's also one elite in the event pts ladder
but otherwise, no you will have to pull to get the rest of the event ships
Which ship is that?
For this event, it's Le Hardi
yeah im not getting the ship i want in time 💀
Is there any good fleetguides for W13? been auto farming 12-4 zero issues for few days and gave 13-1 a chance a mob fleet fell on 5th fight. Managed to clear W12 underleveled with no real issues
triple cv your mob, have some good aa ship, use circular formation
running Unicorn and gotta try Taihou with her. for 3rd would Essex, Bois Belle, Enty be better?
It would prob be faster for you to post your dock in a thread
Also if your goal is to farm lvls for underleveled ships, dont do that in W13, go back to W12
Peter strasser or warspite augment?
Na im just wanting to push up campaign right now 12-4 is easy grinding right now. ill start a thread tho
Realistically/Pratically neither
but if you absolutely had to choose, Warspite's would be more worth it ignoring how expensive her retrofit is on top of the augment
Is there any prio for augments?
tho at the same time, Warspite's value plummets proportionantely to the amout of UR BBs you have
W13 Advice
Most of the unique augs arent really worth the investment over the regular purple ones, but there's a few standout ones like (off the top of my head) Hood, San Diego, Kawakaze, Taihou, and Intrepid
Augments didnt even exist until like 2 years ago or so so the game is clearable without them
Ohhhh, so basically it’s better to just get purple ones?
not exactly

I thought Sandys was still bugged out?
iirc it's been fixed for a good while
And tbh even when it was bugged, it was still very good
Ah gotcha the tierlist from the bot still says it bugged
it wasn't a serious bug and only affected like 2-3 fast guns
said tierlist also has not been updated in months
It just got updated on the 20th
are you talking about ECTL or the endgame one?
Endgame
oh thought you were talking about ECTL
check with stig & co whether the bug still exists, but again it's inconsequential mostly
if it's fixed it just makes sandy slightly stronger still
It still affects all but the slowest guns
10-20%

should I always have someone train? or I could leave the academy slots blank
only in 2 scenarios they will be blank
a) you ran out of skill books, or
b) all ships in your dock* have already maxxed skills
- please do not spend gems on additional slots
(i am still kicking myself to this day for max slots upgrades)
thanks I just came back after 4.5 years break so there're a lot to train
is it alright if i craft the gold medium armor rocket fighter for my enty or should i just save up the mats
Is there possible way to grind gem for getting docks space and buy skin for F2P? if yes, where is the place to get gems?
No
Technically it's possible but you're better off getting a job
Oh alright
grinding commissions for gem commissions. and even then its very unreliable since its rng to get the comms and rng if you will get any
if you want to max skill all the ships in your dock youll want the extra slot upgrades 🙂
I think it's painfully obvious that you'll never attain enough currency to comfortably purchase outfits, and that mostly because that's this games main model for revenue 
what should be the goal for comfort level for Dorm in general? I got around 282 currently
get more dorm decorations. not the ones that cost gems (its not worth it)
just owning the decorations can add to comfort. no need to use them
300 at the least, 400 at the most, after 400 you don't gain much
besides if you run comms consistently you will have enough decor coins to buy the themes. i have all the themes (except for the collab ones from before i joined)
max skills for ship you're using or will use in the future
thoughts on who might be good to level up as i farm for anchorage xp (in event/12-4)? portland helena and sandy are included so far. trying to prioritize whoever might be somewhat useful in opsi or ch 13-14 in the future
sandy, helena(until 125), eldridge
aight i'll work on those. anyone else? trying to use all eagle for mob and boss fleet to maximize xp (might be overkill idk)
juneau, houston has good tech
northampton2, hammann2, and probably wichita
thanks!!
Gouden leeuw gear set for exp grind?
Whatever's sensible
Twin 138 is wasted on her 
not if the fleet has only z52 and trafalgar! hah!
Even then....
how is it wasted if nobody is using
Cause it's improbable
Unless you want to switch gear constantly you are likely using more than one fleet
ok then just downgrade it
Obviously
is this a 2 week event?
yes
does the wishing well end in 2 days?
yes
is there any very hard to get ships that you'd recommend wishing for?
In the end there is always better ships to put the Twin 138 over a 55 slot eff aux gun slot 
aurora i guess
how many can i add to the well?
the rest is collection. maybe aquila gets a shoutout as well
AQL?
2
2 but only the same hull type
so albion is dead
The same pool rather
i have aquila.
ok not hull, but the build type
aurora i don't have
go light then
That one German sub
aurora+another that you might fancy
i checked the build type and say i was missing a about 3 in special and heavy and about 12 in light
UR banners are often special
i'll wish for aurora but i need one more to put in the well
whichever you dont have
Is it ok if i skip bois belleau?my cube saving is 94 rn
My bad i cant resist it
The gacha player curse
Go for tech as your second pick 
i'm missing 21 light
flip a coin
Pull a name out of a hat
is light pull 1 gem per pull
no
One cube per pull
pulls dont use gems 
wishing well light pull cubes
it's 1 cube, no gem
mori how many boats u have 120
@stark quiver stop slacc
99.99% smh
What is the other 0.01%
l'indomptab; suzutsuki; duca degli; kirov; swiftsure; le terrible; janus; lung wu; hu pen; nurnberg, yura, clevelad; z2; manchester; libeccio; maestrale; nicoloso; maille; pamiat' mer; oite; ardent; Are any of these very hard to get?
1 ship
have no fear
bitch please...
any of the gold ones really
okay ty
Just don't pull so much you go below 400 cubes
i have a lot of cubes
i don't think she's on the list
she should be 
wait a sec. are are these wishing well ships already avaiable in the pools?
Yes...
yes lol
so what's the benefit, a slightly higher %
better than just regular light pulls then. i already got the event ships
they count toward exchange?
Any non-UR banner counts towards perma UR pity
how many ops dailies can i hold at a given time
10 claimed and 5 unclaimed?
thanks so much for ur help. now i've cleared 47/50 zones and doing hidden right now
and trying out the emu on my laptop was super helpful
For OpSi mob fleet, who is the preload airstrike alternative for Aquilla?
other than unicorn perseus, i have no idea 
Gimme the gold version and purple too
Maybe Glorious META but idk different mechanics I guess
is it a good idea to go for pr6 if i want to go for kears
if you dont have yorktown2 then not many reason to do that
ok noted
do I still have next reset or is it azurover? 
former
How good is L’indomptable
not good
What’s in the next update?
wiki page: https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Daily_Raid#Supply_Line_Disruption
How to solo level 65 raid with a level 70 starter submarine I-58.
Why ?
w14 fleet help
why would we grind for event's SR ship if we could buy her from the shop?
When will guam's costume return?
you would technically be grinding for event ship anyway to farm event points, you really only buy if your unlucky to not get a single drop imo
thanksss
in about a Month or so there is likely to be a rerun of the Tempesta-Events. There you can get Sailing Frigates who simply destroy these. So, take it easy even if it doesnt work out. Also, one of these should be in the Shop somewhere, i believe
how do yall make those (not the website, like do you actually put the gears or it puts them by itself)
btw, i finally did t6 in the event, what now (the 1d remaining gave me motivation to finish the last 2 stages)
do HT6, then SP
you select the gears, the ships and other stuff
idk if my fleet (n skills) can make it thru ht6
already a miracle portland and helena didn't die halfway into t6
ohh alr
if you are not able to do HT6 then just continue farming the highest map that you can do
should I oath amagi cv or Shinano
only have 1 ring
go with whoever then, does not matter
hi guys if i am gonna upgrade skills what materials should i be using first
purple or gold books, best if you can time it so that you keep close to 100% uptime
follow the skill colour, unless you run out of the respective book skill colour. can happen especially on red skills
When will her costume return?
when the event reruns
And thats when?
roughly 2 years and a bit after the original run
so probably... somewhere at the start of next year?
F
her costume may or may not make an appearance during black friday sales in nov though
lowkey forgot about black friday sales yeah LOL
what do you mean by time it. Are the corrosponding books to the skills shows an exp boost?
Need to burn oil in farming stages for coins, where?
ye old 12-4
it means keep an eye on the timer to chain the skill books for less downtime
oh
not sure if it is a healthy behavior though 
oh ok
Permanent and not worth it.
oath both or don't oath any
Aiight, thanks
my goat moriforest 
for the daily single on the light ship, should i be doing it on the limited selected banner or the banner with 4 ships on it
oh i see thanks g
make sure it's Light that you selected though
i picked aurora yat sen
ye that's good
does a epic drop every 10 pulls or no
no
and is there any animations for summoning
only on UR when you obtain them
This ultra rare is like limited banner like arknight only show up 1 year?
new UR come 4 times a year, then they rerun 2 years after, then archive less than a year after
ye they get added into permanent pool, and can be exchanged with the UR point accumulation
I hear September there worth UR? Is true?
there will be a new UR, but we don't know anything about it yet
expect new UR to be broken
Thank you
my lowest lvl character is 30 is that enough to clear all the stages in the event part . Also in the beginner fleet what ship skill should be the main priority to upgrade
what 
your unicorn heal, your bb skill, then the rest you're using. skip portland
that's how it is for UR, they powercreep older UR
btw g do we know the details for the new ur, and if i do summon is 1 copy enough of the ur
1 copy is enough, we know nothing yet
is there any other bb i could use instead on Pennsylvania that i can get for free
nelson, maryland. but they need retrofit to be strong
oh so i will just upgrade penny and unicorn for now then?
you can use penny until you can raise a 2nd fleet, and raise either one of them on the 2nd fleet
oh calm
How much hard pity to get UR again? 300 or? Cube?
400 cubes
for penny she has 1 skill and 2 question, how do i unlocck them, is it by leveling
she only have 1 skill
oh i did not know that
oh, btw for skills leveling i gotta wait 8hrs to level it
if you used gold skill book yes
also just gonna say it. if you cancel a training the book you used wont be returned
so just let it complete if you misclicked
oh so what book rarity should i be uisng first
like i said earlier, purple or gold. but time them
oh mb sorry
eg, if you can play 8hours a day, start with two purple, then end the day with a gold
it's not the same
for unicorn i should prioties are heal right
since we are talking about skills. dont level portland's red skill. its not worth it
i leveled my portland yellow skill yesterday to 4, is that skill ok
yeah that is fine
you can skip it....
you can skip, but its also alright that you leveled it
oh ok. I am basically at the same spot i stopped on my old acc. I am enjoying thid new acc
other ship's skill have higher prio
maybe if i grind nonstop in a day its possible
when im on a map and i have 1 bullet, is it better to use that bullet against a ship with 3 arrow thing then one with 1 arrow thing
will we ever get eldridge retrofit rerun ? v_v
depends. is your fleet healthy? 3 no problem. fleet not healthy? just take the 1
also depends if you still need to fight another before boss or not 💀 if still need to fight, then fight the 3 before out of ammo, easier fight afterwards
oh ok, is so annoying that i got a limit of 5 ammos. hopefully i can get a ship that can hold more or smt
it's a non issue really
out of ammo doesn't mean you gotta stop fighting
you just do less damage but as long as your fleet's survivable enough it's not an issue
yh true
for now i should focus on event. And the milestone thing for event can it be done by repeating the same stage or do i have to keep fighting new stages ?
nvm i cant get past ht2, fleet is too weak
THIS thursday
no wayyyy

quick question as to level contribution: looking at just raw stats on wiki lvl 120 and 125 is not that much difference, is there any other contribution in damage dealt/taken when taking level into consideration?
actually wouldn't it be next week since it should be timegated with the minigame
level advantage is a bitch
What minigame, Eldridge is missions
then still a week behind missions
What should I get from the Core Monthly shop?
what's trp and how do i make it higher?? (ughh i hate hard mode requirements) [btw sorry for dumb question but im actually rlly new]
the double line strategy is the evasion for the map or can it help in the fight itself
Depends if they do that, or just allow all missions at once 
holy so its up to 50% increase/decrease?
10%
it doesn't affect map it's literally a eva stat modifier in fight
use 2nd fleet, put in DD, use torp aux if you have
ijn DD have high torp stats
only problem is what ships to use in 2nd fleet
oh i see, i thought it was the map.
DD DESTROYER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
if i repeat the same stage in the event will it still ccontribute to going up in the milestone
level advantage is up to 50%, but between 120 and 125 it's 5 levels of advantage i.e. 10%
milestone goes up as long as you're getting points
will i get points for repeating event stage
but it says it here D:
See nntktt's post
oh i missed that, yes for 120 and 125, either way thanks! now ill see the need to sink more coin into it xD
sink deez
Is it worth trying to get gold blueprints from SP stages ?
okay nvm i give up
No I meant in war archive
oh lol. no it's not worth at all
i cant even build a fleet by myself 💔 (and play well)
Ok
So... I've been playing for a week and finally got Essex to replace Shinano on my fleet. My Unicorn's retrofit is almost maxed. Question: Should i go for Laffey's retrofit next or should i focus on Essex?
how is it possibile a 1 week player has better fleet than build than mine 💔
by following a guide
Gold BP doesn't drop from SP nor WA 
look, do you have any ijn dd? like shigure, shiranui, kagerou, whatever DD
I think he meant blueprints for gear
don't give up bro
Aside from following guides and asking for advice when i'm in doubt, i also play a lot of gachas so i'm more of less used to how this kind of game works
or even kawakaze meta. do you have it
I think only baguette guns drop in WA, but with a better gun in core shop 
only gear remotely worth trying to farm from archives is rudder
HVAR once Yorktown II is finally added
but it's not there yet
inb4 doesn't drop
ryuusei in Passionate Polaris when you're leveling for commander level
also fair chance it'll be in lab in another while and crafting is just easier
then the plane gets powercrept
by BF2010G
no just BFG summons big friendly giant
we need another event w OP gear so i can blow all my oil reserves
nope, as i know
what dd do you have? and do you have any leveled backline as well? other than the fleet 1
can u dm rq so I don't forget to send?
nah, peace out ✌🏼
how do i farm the coins to expand the dorm, rn i need 1000 to get the next expansion
Commission
oh i see
there's no way to farm them per se, they just trickle in with commissions and missions, and a bunch from cruise
oh i see, cause I dont have a lot of lvl 10 units is it ok to use 2 books to get them to lvl 10 as it says in the comission minimum 1 lvl 10
Do the webevent, 300 there IIRC
sure, but try to use on ships you gonna level soon
how do i find the web event
idk what other units that i have i can level soon
tbh it's really minmax, just use on whatever. 2 books are nothing
calm
Is there a way to set the autoclear for clearing the whole stage instead of going straight for the boss?
no
Ok
If i use only 1 kms plane,can it still trigger avp skill that require using kms plane?
Yes
For hard mode stages at what wold stage do gold plates reliably drop?
They don't
Oh kk
Your primary income for gold plates is the guild shop and OpSi
Also is she worth investing in?
i'm assuming you mean gold retrofit blueprints?
decent ship, but not high in priority
yep, i need a bunch for essex and sandy
They're not called gold plates, they are different things in this game
we don't really have numbers for it, but we speculate that higher worlds have a bit of a better chance of dropping gold retro bps
ah kk
