gameplay-help

[soft raft]

the exception is collab reruns which last for 2 weeks

[late flame]

no reason to use lv125s* in 12-1 (i'm assuming farming runs) though,
unless grinding to max affinity on oathed lv 125 ship(s)

[cerulean field]

and reruns are every 2 years correct?

[soft raft]

reruns are estimated to be roughly 2 years after their intial run
then war archive aka perament rougly 1 year after that

[late flame]

good luck coping for older collab reruns such as idolmaster/neptunia

[cerulean field]

😭

[sharp pine]

The backline of one of my opsi fleets is YT2, Kear, and Enty. Is Essex Retro worth slotting in there somewhere?

[sweet delta]

essex is better than enterprise

[smoky turret]

is there a doc or something like that that has information on what to do/how to gear up for opsi/arbiter? i'm completely clueless about what to bring, for example i still can't understand what the icons on top of the enemies mean

[wicked obsidian]

Hay, does the abyss event end today or tomorrow??

[wind hazel]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide

[forest palm]

In about 25 hrs 45 mins

[wicked obsidian]

👌

[smoky turret]

thanks but for example how do i tell which to equip for which arbiter?

[fickle flume]

quick question

does Spearfish outdamage converging torps against light armour boss

[wind hazel]

arbiter has fixed rotation, temperance light, strength medium, and hermit heavy. we're on strength now

you can also disable fleet lock to check their information before battle begins. it will show you their armour type

[smoky turret]

thanks

[patent raft]

Is bayard is worth it to research and does it good for non-PVP shipgirl?

[wind hazel]

if you can develop her to fs5, sure. strong CL

[sharp pine]

I don't know her meta ranking, but she gives cruiser evasion fleet tech, which is pretty big.

[wind hazel]

she's like plymouth, but without the buff. so most of the time if you have plymouth, you'd pick her instead of bayard

which is unfortunate

[vagrant harness]

is it still too early for a pr7 catchup? hehe

[smoky turret]

which ships have air raid assistance?

[wind hazel]

normally used one, kazagumo

kearsarge has it too, just different name. then there's hammann2, ariake, etc. you can see under wiki

[stark quiver]

benson

[strong tartan]

• stephen potter and bellona

[vagrant harness]

whats a good backline for kear? yorky and?

[wind hazel]

essex/implacable

[vagrant harness]

what does rafaello do?

[wind hazel]

bb with sustain

[vernal cedar]

Hello, I have a question. Let's say I have 2 identical ships and I want to drain one to upgrade the other, but both have a level and when I go to upgrade I can't see it, is this normal? And if so, is it possible to somehow lower the ship's level?

[quaint shadow]

Chat how do I put Eugen back on my team

[versed forum]

is it fine to not do ex? i skip ex since start now im worried if i wasting anything

[wind hazel]

make sure your filter is on to show ship >lv1

[wind hazel]

if you can do easy EX you should do it, 500 cogs is nice rewards. if you can't then it's also fine

[vernal cedar]

yeah, thx

[sweet delta]

If you can do hard EX then you get on the top 100 leaderboard

[cold adder]

I’m looking for the spreadsheet that had each event and some notes on the shipgirls and equipment

[willow crag]

how long does it take to full clear opsi in auto?

[gilded carbon]

all achievements and all secondary missions for the sectors? Or, just having cleared the map once?

[willow crag]

just clearing map once

its been running for more than 3 hours already

does leaving it on for 5 more hours do the trick?

[gilded carbon]

hard to tell. Depends entirely on hos good your fleet is and how well you get through the high-lvl stuff like strongholds. "A few Hours" is likely accurate

honestly, i dont think there is a good answer out there. Try it.

[willow crag]

fleet composition doing the auto run is... Lion, Vanguard, Uni Retro + kron, chan chun and the other chinese dd retro

[willow crag]

aight, Ill just go grab groceries and hopefully by the time I come back its finished

[gilded carbon]

what does clearing the OpSi-Map give? ^^' i dont think i ever did fully clear it

[vocal niche]

how do I know more about the girls and their personality, is there any character story or group story like in BA?

[gilded carbon]

some have Events, you can look those up/replay them in the archive. Some have personal stories you get from setting them into Secretary

[harsh gust]

events for main story stuff
juustagram for little snippets of character interactions
some characters have personal stories you can unlock by setting them as secretary and clicking on them

[bleak skiff]

Am I able to get one more round of the points from the event after reset tmr?

[onyx flame]

prob not since there maintainences

[bleak skiff]

So I have to hit 10k points to exchange for the ship today

[gilded carbon]

yes

[bleak skiff]

thanks

[gilded carbon]

wich is doable, really. You get points for clearing, points for the missions to clear stuff and so on

[bleak skiff]

yeah yeah I havent done anything event wise lol

just login do my dailies get the 750 pts and move on

[vocal niche]

thankss

[gilded carbon]

then, good hunting, Commander. And good luck

[harsh gust]

you can also get the ship as drop from last event map stage if you get lucky

[bleak skiff]

Is there anything else I should get over the new ship

I rmb some events had exclusive gear

[gilded carbon]

wich new Ship? The 10k one isnt an exchange, its an ladder for progression. The exchange one is 8k

[gilded carbon]

this one doesnt have that

[harsh gust]

all of the stuff in the shop is generic, in a sense that even if it's valuable - it's nothing you can't get from any other event
I don't think there's any new gear so nope

[bleak skiff]

Just collect new ship girls then

[twin parcel]

What to prioritise in Event shop as new player...?

I already got Le Hardi, I have 8K spare...

[gilded carbon]

do you have good equip? If not, gold-boxes may be useful

Event-FAQ often has a small guide to what is good in the shop, but really its usually fairly similar

[tame jungle]

event faq isn't even updated for 90% of events

[gilded carbon]

in this case, it doesnt really change the answer, i guess. Boxes if you are low on gear. BPs and chip otherwise

[tame jungle]

check latest pin in this channel

[gilded carbon]

its always the same

[tame jungle]

i don't expect a new player to know what "always the same" means

[wind hazel]

ye, only difference is if there's unique weapon to buy, otherwise it's the same format

[hushed tree]

What's the Build Time for Massena, again?

[gilded carbon]

wich i answered before, too. Even if the Event isnt updated, what to get doesnt change since the shop is usually the same anyway, only event-specifics change. The mats dont. And i said that, too

[tame jungle]

ok!

[gilded carbon]

sry. i think it came over more agressive then intended

[hushed tree]

Thanks.

The Azur Lane Wiki I visit hasn't updated this particular data yet. XD

[wind hazel]

😭 join wiki team

[hushed tree]

No way, man.

I used to handle another Community Wiki but it got in the way of my driving job and other Games. XD

[wind hazel]

pay me, i will join wiki team

[cosmic osprey]

hi guys, what does rld mean

[wind hazel]

reload

time taken for the gun/plane to reload for next strike/whatever

[cosmic osprey]

is it worth upgrading that skill on unicorn

[wind hazel]

yes, after the heal

[cosmic osprey]

oh i got the heal to lvl 6 so i guess i should upgrade that a bit

[wind hazel]

no, go lv10 heal first

[cosmic osprey]

oh ok

this is what i got from the research. Is any of these good and like i should now do research but mainly focus on the q research right

oh theres more stuff too

[robust onyx]

La9 is good

[cosmic osprey]

is that the plane

[wind hazel]

yes, but you can forget about it for few months. keep grinding

[cosmic osprey]

btw i want to depot to see the my gears and i cant find it

[wind hazel]

because it's a blueprint

[tame jungle]

yes because it's a single blueprint

you need to have 50 to actually be able to craft a LA9

[wind hazel]

you need 50 of them to craft 1, which takes few months. hence why i told you to forget about it for now 😂

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see. So i need a specific amount to make the weapon?

[robust onyx]

You need 50 prints for a single La9

[cosmic osprey]

yh your right lol, ima forgot about it for now lol

even the gold gears are they blue prints too

[robust onyx]

Yes

That gold print though 🚮

[cosmic osprey]

damn i got excited thought i can finally use better equipment but guess i will wait

[gilded carbon]

funny enough, you cant even whale for those equipments. Wich makes it even for all

[cosmic osprey]

thats good

[gilded carbon]

i think so too

[cosmic osprey]

btw does it matter which series i unlock now if so what one shall i do?

[robust onyx]

It a series 7 limit

[cosmic osprey]

what shall i pick?

[robust onyx]

So no Meck or Gold

[cosmic osprey]

it doesnt matter what i do?

[robust onyx]

No it is universal DR print

[split gazelle]

it kinda does

you want to pick the series you are currently working on. so let's say you are researching roon, you'd ideally want to pick series 1

[robust onyx]

Good for any DR series below 7

[cosmic osprey]

oh how do i check who i am researching again in the room

[robust onyx]

But don't waste it on coinable options

[cosmic osprey]

im researching pr d8

[wind hazel]

no need to focus on this one, you'll complete it as you play. you can't rush it

[cosmic osprey]

oh calm so i should hold off from unlocking them for now

[wind hazel]

i mean that handbook missions in particular

but yes you should also start paying attention to developing shipyard ship when you're at least around chapter 9 campaign

[cosmic osprey]

oh ok, it sounds like is gonna get complicating

[wind hazel]

no, just a bit annoying

[mint fable]

Beside the UR one, what's the best AA gun for vanguard?

[gilded carbon]

Twin 40mm Bofors STAAG

[wind hazel]

mix of sextuple, twin 113, twin 90

[gilded carbon]

oh, you meant for the Vanguard, not the Ship called Vanguard

[wind hazel]

HMS Vanguard or frontline ship vanguard

[mint fable]

Frontline

[wind hazel]

ye

[gilded carbon]

then disregard my comment about the Bofors

[mint fable]

Thanks

[gilded carbon]

its a BB-AA-gun ^^ Would it have been wrong for the HMS Vanguard, btwß

[tame jungle]

staag is good

[gilded carbon]

i try to make one for every new gold/Rainbow-BB i get

[dusty pier]

which skill to prio upgrade for anchorage

[wind hazel]

lv4 blue then red, then max blue then max red

[gilded carbon]

just upgrade them all. Usually, you get her and then coin her. So you have plenty of time to lvl them all to 10 before you use her

Dev lvl 30 and then Fate Sim lvl 5

[wind hazel]

maybe he bought voucher

[dusty pier]

no I just forgot that I need to upgrade the skill haha

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼

[gilded carbon]

thats a possiblity, yeah ^^'

[spark patio]

any good ships that work well with this?

[cosmic osprey]

i got 86 medals what sr shall i pick up from the shop

these are the options that i have

[atomic abyss]

San Diego

[atomic abyss]

Technically Janus
But javelin isn't really worth using unless you're still new and have nothing better

[cosmic osprey]

oh calm and who can she replace in my starter fleet btw. and unicorn is in here too

[spark patio]

where can i get Janus? ( i am new

[atomic abyss]

Laffey

[robust onyx]

Different usage from who you have but likely Laffey

[atomic abyss]

Then don't bother
You can't get Janus easily

[elfin hollow]

Light Construction

[atomic abyss]

Just use javelin cos you have nothing better

[tame jungle]

don't throw away cubes on light construction

[atomic abyss]

You shouldn't be spamming light build as a new player

Only limited UR banners

[elfin hollow]

Wishing Well > Light Construction > Janus

[gilded carbon]

Javelin isnt Bad. As a Starter she will be useful for a long time. When she isnt anymore, you will have Others

For where you are, it works well

[cosmic osprey]

finally i got an upgrade in my team

[spark patio]

should i use medal to get Sandy? i have a lot of elite ship to retire

any ships that good to keep?

a lot of hipper and gnei lel

[elfin hollow]

I've started the current event and I'm missing some gold and cubes to get the selected characters from the Wishing Well. Does anyone know roughly when this event will be repeated?

[atomic abyss]

Next May

For reference

Any character in wishing well are permanent

So it's honestly a bait banner

[atomic abyss]

Helena is excellent and should be raised
Retire all duplicates and keep 1 copy of all other purples there

[late flame]

+one would rather roll for event rather than wishing well

unless super lucky or skipping event

[cosmic osprey]

i just unlocked this, should i develope this or not. Im not sure how this works yet.

[atomic abyss]

Press develop for saint louis

But just let it be

[cosmic osprey]

oh ok calm

[atomic abyss]

You won't be actively focusing on it till you hit chapter 12

[robust onyx]

Likely the only one you'll be able to run atm

[elfin hollow]

Thanks! Sovetskaya Belorussiya, Richelieu and Kronshadt I would really like to get them, any ideas?

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see and for the san diego character, i was wondering what are the best skills on her to upgrade first?

[atomic abyss]

Don't bother
They'll come from rolling event banners
Kron you can get from permanent UR pity

[elfin hollow]

I'll do some more construction today, but I don't expect miracles hahaha

[atomic abyss]

Don't

Not worth

Save for upcoming UR events

[glass quest]

is the Prototype Spearfish worth crafting?

[robust onyx]

Not really

[atomic abyss]

No

Good but wyvern is more important

[glass quest]

what else could I use the T3 Ordonance Testing Reports on that‘d be worth it

[spark patio]

Should i exchange Sandy? i have enough medal now

[late flame]

spearfish is better than wyvern but is significantly more expensive to craft

[cosmic osprey]

any recommendation on what to lvl first?

[atomic abyss]

Depends on who is in your medal shop

[atomic abyss]

She only has 1

Until she gets her retrofit

Which you won't be able to get for a while

[cosmic osprey]

oh lol silly me so i guess i should level that skill for now

[atomic abyss]

You should
And you should save up some coins for Sandy's unique augment

[cosmic osprey]

how much coins is that

[atomic abyss]

Sandy is lower priority than Hood or Tirpitz

[atomic abyss]

21000

[spark patio]

others are Sirius, Dido and Belfast

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see, do you know when it is coming

[atomic abyss]

It's permanent

You just need the coins to craft the augment

[spark patio]

So, Tirpiz or Hood?

[elfin hollow]

Speaking of future UR units, the ones I like the most are Sovetski Soyuz and Implacable. Do you know when they might come out approximately?

[atomic abyss]

Implacable has already rerun
So she'll be made permanent in at 8 months
Soyuz is due for a rerun next March

They are not "future" URs

[spark patio]

Bought hood, the rest medal i should spend on bulin or specialized core?

[atomic abyss]

Specialized

[cosmic osprey]

btw san diego limit break does she take the sr bulin and i should limit break her right

[elfin hollow]

Thank you so much for everything.
It seems like I still have a long way to go before I can get my dream fleet, haha.

[atomic abyss]

She uses SR bulins and you should definitely limit break her

[robust onyx]

She'll need mlb to use her augment gear

[atomic abyss]

I wouldn't be fixated on a "dream" fleet anyways

[elfin hollow]

It's true, gacha never gives you what you want, it's all random haha

Azur Lane has a lot of beautiful characters, so there's no problem, although to unlock the PR I see that it takes a lot of time,
few faction points are obtained

[spark patio]

should i put hood in mob or boss fleet?

[robust onyx]

She'll need her augment gear to truly shine

[spark patio]

she had her own?

[cosmic osprey]

what does aa stand for

[robust onyx]

Anti-air

[cosmic osprey]

oh ok and is this set up ok for now?

i lb her 2 times

my account level is 35

[atomic abyss]

Are you at the point where you should be building 2 fleets

[atomic abyss]

HP and Evasion auxes for her
Frontline ships should not get defensive auxes

Gun change to a destroyer gun

Such as the purple twin 120mm

[cosmic osprey]

idk what an auxe is. i only have limited gear so i gave her that purple

[atomic abyss]

Auxiliary gear

[spark patio]

kinda i think, i am at 9-x and i did't push much bc of event

[atomic abyss]

Are the last 2 slots

[robust onyx]

Did the DD gun unlock before mlb?

[atomic abyss]

Well are you able to build 2 strong ones

[atomic abyss]

She uses a blue twin 127 as a stock gun
So yes

[cosmic osprey]

i dont have the purple 120mm

[robust onyx]

I couldn't remember

[spark patio]

yah, and my second fleet is bad bc of vanguard ships

[atomic abyss]

Purple twin 127mm
Or purple single 127mm then

The twin 150mm sandy has now should go to Helena

[cosmic osprey]

i have purple twins

[atomic abyss]

Can we see the 2 fleets?

[spark patio]

finding replacements for Swiftsure and eugen

[cosmic osprey]

oh i just clocked that sandy is short for san diego 😭

[atomic abyss]

Firstly
Hood to the middle

Secondly I would only replace swiftsure if sandy has her augment

[spark patio]

why did hood only have 1 skill?

[atomic abyss]

Eugen should be the tank

A lot of ships only have 1 skill

[cosmic osprey]

so the auxes i have on are defensive then how does an attack one look like

[atomic abyss]

No
You're using one offensive one currently

[spark patio]

many ppl say that eugen is bad, i now find other

[robust onyx]

Who says?

[atomic abyss]

Eugen is a poor investment early on
But you've already invested so

[cosmic osprey]

oh so my auxes are fine or do i need to find defensive ones

[atomic abyss]

You want auxes that give evasion and HP

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see, is that for all ships or just for her

[atomic abyss]

All Frontline ships

Should be taking defensive auxes

DDs take 2 HP
CAs take 2 evasion
CLs take a mix

[robust onyx]

Toolbox is 1 of the most used auxiliary

[late flame]

eugen does her job well as a tank, there is only 2 issues:
-she uses gold bulins (compared to portland) so its not so great for newer players, and
-she will be outclassed by research ships (e.g. anchorage, agir)

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see i was making a big mistake

[atomic abyss]

I would use Eugen as your boss tank for now

[spark patio]

idk, but one said that eugen is outperformed by portland retro, and then i put eugen in second fleet

[atomic abyss]

Eugen isn't outperformed by Portland retro

[spark patio]

ok

[cosmic osprey]

so the fuel filter on sandy should go on helena?

[robust onyx]

She's expensive compared to Portland

[atomic abyss]

Eugen is strictly better in terms of a tank
She is strictly worse in terms of new player priority to invest

The latter ship has already sailed

[spark patio]

i invested in her bc i luckily had a copy of her when i started

[atomic abyss]

I would call swiftsure a worse investment in this case tbh

[spark patio]

imma get Sandy asap

[robust nymph]

do i go for the tenrai?

[cosmic osprey]

what aux should the back 3 be using is it a mix or attack only?

[atomic abyss]

Both want anything that gives HP or evasion
So boiler, fuel filter, repair toolkit

[atomic abyss]

Attack only in most cases
So auto loaders, white shells, fire control radars etc

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see thanks a lot so far the help. It means a lot

[spark patio]

any good torp for eugen?

also 2 tool box or 1 toolbox and 1 steering gear?

[cosmic osprey]

is unicorn an exception cause it shows for me she can only have hp and ev gears. Or maybe i dont have the attack equip she can use

[atomic abyss]

Eugen torps are ass so just give her the quad 533

[robust onyx]

CV usually go double catapult

[atomic abyss]

I think you don't have gear she can use

She wants gear that give aviation stat

[spark patio]

Also, is it good to use 2 barracudas on Essex retro?

[cosmic osprey]

the gear i have is one blue and one purple oil aviation tank

[cobalt gate]

i feel like raffilo heal triggers are so random, any way to make it better?

[atomic abyss]

Not the best but it'll do

[atomic abyss]

"Don't rely on Rafaello for main healing"

[atomic abyss]

Stick with those then

[cosmic osprey]

calm thanks a lot

[cobalt gate]

well sadly need it when for some reason torp does so much damage

i still use unicorn as main healer

wow every torp hit and no misses thanks video game

[atomic abyss]

Then the issue is better remedied with bulges over toolboxes

[cobalt gate]

yep using bulges

[spark patio]

Does Helldiver and Barracuda better than 2 Barracudas?

[undone plover]

Is this the first time a UR retro is rerunning? Or did the old ones also have a rerun before archive into spec core shop

[wind hazel]

yuudachi one had rerun

idk about sandy 👶🏼

nor corgi

[clever valley]

does oathing a ship give any benefit besides a new skin?

[wind hazel]

they get stats buff

[cosmic osprey]

btw i dont have q in the research can u refresh it

[wind hazel]

9% with oath, 12% with oath and 200 affinity

[cosmic osprey]

the research i have are 2b e,c,h

[wind hazel]

purple E? that asks to scrap gear?

[cosmic osprey]

yes

[wind hazel]

that one is decent

[cosmic osprey]

oh ok how about the others

[wind hazel]

bad

[cosmic osprey]

can i refresh ?

[atomic abyss]

No they all had reruns

[wind hazel]

no, take the E. keep refresh for really bad batch

[atomic abyss]

Yes especially if the barracuda is purple

[cosmic osprey]

i took the e then refresh after?

[wind hazel]

no =_= if you take the E, you will have a new batch...

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see

[spark patio]

fine, imma save that Barra for other Cvs

[cosmic osprey]

i added the e to the queue. Im not sure what else to pick

[ocean oriole]

Guys... Will I make the 400 cube mark by the Anniversary Banner?

There's like 2 weeks left right? 😭

[cosmic osprey]

im on 176 cubes idt i can get to 400 cubes in time for the anni 😭

[atomic abyss]

By the end of the anni banner yes

[ocean oriole]

How many coin do I need? 😭

[wind hazel]

scrap the required gear it asks for, then it will be added into queue

[atomic abyss]

200*1500

So like 300k

[ocean oriole]

So should I start saving coins now or?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[ocean oriole]

Damn... How do you guys save coins?

[atomic abyss]

Farm for the coins

[wind hazel]

farm and dont spend

[spark patio]

…the Ut event is comming and only had 208 coins left

[ocean oriole]

Okkie dokkie artichokkie

Ty mori

[cosmic osprey]

i accpeted the research so it should be fine now. Idk where it gives me the option to scrap the equipment

[atomic abyss]

Depot

[cosmic osprey]

wait i have to manually select the gears and scrap them?

[ocean oriole]

Also one last question, not as important BUT who is meta from the event skins?

I got the Enterprise & Helena Event skin. Is there anyone else I should get?

[wind hazel]

yes, if you retire ships you will be given options to retire their crap gear as well. whichever is more convenient to you

some ship that are used for enhancement will also clog your inventory with trash gear sometimes

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see what u mean i have so many 1 star equipment

now it shows 2 q research i can do

is q the best for me for now

[wind hazel]

yes, but keep a balance, leave some plates for your gear upgrade

sometimes it's necessary to take worse research in case you need the plates

[cosmic osprey]

yh i only have 20 blue and i have to use all for one q reearch

i found 2 q i can do with resources left over

btw i have unlocked the retrofit tab, do i need to worry about it for now

[wind hazel]

ship's retrofit tab is always there. do unicorn's

[cosmic osprey]

oh calm

i can only unlock 1 tab for now.

i assume that research is the best way to find them ship thing i need to to further level the retrofit

[wind hazel]

er, no lol

do your hard mode daily. you also wanna 3* the x-4 stages in campaign

you can check what's needed at the bottom https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Unicorn

sometimes they appear on guild shop, keep an eye for these retrofit blueprints

[ocean oriole]

Hey guys, question should I just keep farming the event?

Is the event very good for resources compared to just story mode?

[wind hazel]

if you still need the points, yes

[ocean oriole]

How hard is it to pull a UR on the event banner btw?

[forest palm]

if you can farm HT4 ~ HT6 and are sub world 8 then yes

[wind hazel]

if you havent unlocked ch9, also yes

[forest palm]

not really that hard

[ocean oriole]

Really? Then do I really need 400 cubes?

[forest palm]

as a safty net yes

[wind hazel]

it's an insurance

[ocean oriole]

I know 400 guarantees it, but realistically you can pull it within 10 right?

[strange sphinx]

when the UR banner?

[forest palm]

next next week

[wind hazel]

if you're really lucky, sure.

[strange sphinx]

well luck

[ocean oriole]

I wish you guys luck too.

[spark patio]

Really?

[late flame]

bro has not experienced* back to back pities

[forest palm]

it drops the 11th

[ocean oriole]

Noce

[strange sphinx]

I mean you can also pull 2 UR (Like me) if you really lucky

[ocean oriole]

You just wanted to flex... 😑

Do you have to add that (like me) lol

[late flame]

rng gives, and rng takes

[wind hazel]

you can also just have more cubes (like me) to pull back to back to back to back and still have a lot of cubes

[ocean oriole]

Ohhh Mori, how many cubes do you have?

[wind hazel]

more than you

[ocean oriole]

😭

[strange sphinx]

hmmm I got Retro Eldrige but don't have her 2nd skill yet(Lack of bulin) . Should I just farm her Exp for now

[late flame]

or whale (not that it is recommended, as a person who did exactly that)

[ocean oriole]

Brother you were typing for like 2 minutes and that's all you wrote...

[strange sphinx]

318 cubes here

[ocean oriole]

Nice... 💪

[late flame]

#al-general exists btw

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm what are the support CV for the World 15?

[ocean oriole]

I actually had a question...

[late flame]

mori answered it. scroll up

[wind hazel]

fritz, hwah jah, essex, nakhimov, etc

[forest palm]

I answered that question lmao

[ocean oriole]

Ty guys for answering my question.

[oblique canyon]

When do lil ships rerun usually? About 2 years?

[strange sphinx]

Fritz and Nakhimov is out of option for now so hmmm Illustrious

[ocean oriole]

However, nobody answered this question...

[forest palm]

that's just an #al-general question...

[ocean oriole]

I actually asked that they didn't give a good answer...

[wind hazel]

anchorage

[ocean oriole]

Ty, I'll get her.

[late flame]

and seriously just buy whatever you like
its not like skins give stats or some extra bonuses

[forest palm]

who gives a fuck about meta when it comes to outfits, I have every outfit for Bremerton not because she's meta

[wind hazel]

i mean he cares, hence he's asking

[late flame]

eh, i have every unicorn skin save for event since i didnt join AL yet when it was out

[cosmic osprey]

rn im on 7.5k coins on the event , how many more coins do you think i can get before the event ends. And for the event shop shall i start of by buying all the gold boxes

[wind hazel]

you mean event points? that look like coin

[ocean oriole]

Well I'm super new to the game. Like 2 weeks old.

And I don't have all the ships for the skins lol

[late flame]

event is a poor source of farming for coins though.. or do you mean event point lol

[wind hazel]

you have less than a day to farm more, maybe can hit 10k before maintenance tomorrow

[forest palm]

you keep the outfit even if you don't have the ship...

[late flame]

but no need to lose sleep over it, the event does rerun albeit in a few years

[cosmic osprey]

yes silly me that thing

[strange sphinx]

question, How does support CV works in W15? I read the guide but still bum about it

[cosmic osprey]

so should i focus on geetting the gold boxes first with m event points

[forest palm]

specifically the Eagle Union, and Royal Navy stuff after that the Iron Blood box, while the Sakura Empire has the least value among them

[cosmic osprey]

oh damn it ends tomorrow, idk if i can get 10k but i will try

so is should get them in that order

[forest palm]

it's basically a auxiliary fleet that helps with AA, said fleet can't use skills at all

[cosmic osprey]

damn only if i started earlier i could of cleared the event shop

[wind hazel]

they will send out fighter to do some AA for you during fight. basically only fighters will be sent out, that's about it

that's why ships with good fighter effiency and slots like fritz essex are used

[cosmic osprey]

should i get the sakura boxes or should i use the coins for something else

[strange sphinx]

except for fritz and Nakhimov, who are the cv that have good fighter efficiency? also the prototype Fighter(the Eagle Union) is the go to plane?

[wind hazel]

if you can clear all techboxes you should

[cosmic osprey]

yes i can

[wind hazel]

scroll back up ~_~

nomis's picture

[cosmic osprey]

and i have 3k remaining after so idk waht to do with that

i got 2 gold gears lets goo

i am repeating stage t4 as that is the highest i 3 starred

[wind hazel]

best fighter to use is this one https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/equips/id/47200

followed by flapjacks and hellcats

the IB fighter is cheaper to craft than flapjacks so go that route if you wanna

[forest palm]

best in the case of world 15 only

[wind hazel]

we're talking about support fleet... of course w15 only

[late flame]

w16 submarine support fleet, trust

[weary gust]

Tempesta still manages to die in the support sub fleet

[oblique valley]

do you still get exp for pr research when using level 125 ships?

[late flame]

/prgrind

[odd root]

Does __ count for Shipyard Combat Data Collection EXP?

Yes

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

No

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

don't get how NGA is up there an ECTL isn't

[dusty pier]

anchorage for boss/mob?

[soft raft]

Mainly boss

Her damage output is pretty eh while her tankiness is quite good

[wind hazel]

can be both. ship that work on boss is also good in mob

[forest palm]

Anchorage is flexible

most traditional tanks function that way

[small linden]

I haven't farmed exp for iron blood main fleet ships in awhile. What is a good fleet to grind the exp for mecklenburg? I currently am using this and wondering if Z52 can tank 12-4 on her own without healing.

[strange sphinx]

can

[forest palm]

what ever fleet works quite honestly

with all those levels, and the ships you're using there should be zero problems unless you gear horrendously

[turbid marsh]

jesus overkill for 12-4 XD

[agile patrol]

hi.
i have a red marker in OpSi with Corrosion level 4
roughly how hard is this?
i don't wanna spend 80 AP and then find out it's a level 250 enemy or something

OH it depends on the C level
it's 112

[small linden]

looks at my fleet nah. Not overkill. lol

[wind hazel]

is umi among us right now?

[forest palm]

it really depends on the modifiers an abyssal has, they're not static

[agile patrol]

Modifier? wdym?

[small linden]

And Taz, my gear is BiS for the most part, at least for farming.

[agile patrol]

Among Us?

[forest palm]

Abyssal have a pool of traits that they can randomly have, you can see them if you can the boss

[agile patrol]

i see i see

[simple ice]

probably a dumb question but i cant think of a place to check anymore, where is "memories" the game always mentions story can be reread ?

[agile patrol]

you know where you press 'battle' in the lobby screen?
there's a 'switch' button. it's tiny
press that and memories will show up

[forest palm]

at the bottom right of the main menu you should see a small double sided arrow

[turbid marsh]

z52 + bis + fdg probably can 3 ship clear lolllll

[simple ice]

i never would have found that thx

[agile patrol]

took me a few weeks to find it

[proven kernel]

i just realized there is an event for returnee, and it requires putting another player's UID

i know it's the last day but still, anybody want to provide theirs?

[undone plover]

i would help but I already used 2 alts to do this

[wind hazel]

fae do you know how the testings are done on the end game ranking sheet?

particularly on unzen

[turbid marsh]

same

[onyx flame]

i could give mine if ya still need it

[proven kernel]

i do

[onyx flame]

134354485

[atomic abyss]

@sweet delta

[wind hazel]

i didnt wanna ping

[atomic abyss]

is okei

worse case he blocks me

[little tree]

[atomic abyss]

most likely scenario is a

[undone plover]

I wanna say sushi tests stuff like unzen (top of the meta ships) in practice but idk the details (like how many runs or what the numbers 5 vs 4 vs 3 translate to in exact percentages)
but for ships like the new event ships he also has dps calcs (altho idk the details of that one )
but he can explain better I am sure

[wind hazel]

ye i was just curious on unzen's light damage being 5

[atomic abyss]

well

i believe she is only behind hindy for light DPS actually

[undone plover]

from my limited knowledge I remember ppl saying unzen has very good damage distribution
so she is both gun/torp based ship which makes her pretty good vs light with her own gun
but yeah maybe he has exact numbers to back this up idk
I would test myself later but I dont have unzen gun at +13 to compare results accurately
maybe will be better in light once we get 2 unzen guns?

[atomic abyss]

idt michita placed ahead of her

very easy to forget that unzen does have mgm+1

so even if she isnt the best on light

wouldnt 2nd or even 3rd best on light still well, warrant a "5"

[undone plover]

it is probably a case of burg/plymouth being a high 5 and her being a low 5 at worst case but still a 5

[atomic abyss]

im fairly sure she tops ply for light anyways

[wind hazel]

that's what i assumed too

[molten zinc]

MGM +1 with 10% higher eff compare to Drake plus like 50 something higher reload

i think she also has higher FP

[soft raft]

Drake Aug when 😔

[atomic abyss]

and also has very nasty torps, even if they're only x0.8 on light

i mean even if unzen placed below ply

[wind hazel]

that's what i wanted to know actually. was the test done with quad or the light torpedo

[atomic abyss]

i think it's fairly reasonble to call like top 10 frontline light DPSes as a "5" anyays

im 99% sure that was with the improved mags but lets wait for suchi to confirm

[wind hazel]

i assume the l/m/h 5 5 5 is like low 5, high 5, high 5

[hollow sail]

unzen also used in the "mog tech" which makes her land torps pretty decent consistently

[undone plover]

tbh one more thing that might contribute is vanguard damage in general being lower than main makes the ranges closer
like if u are working with 100-400k range vs 100-200k range the scales overall would be tighter with vanguard
but idk if that actually matters

[sharp comet]

moriforest my undisputed heavyweight gph champion

[wind hazel]

idk what makes you say that but don't let this distract you from the fact that The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table back in 1998

[forest palm]

[whole crypt]

[spark patio]

We can even create 4 fleets in opsi?

[undone plover]

yes but iirc there is a minimum level required
so early on u probably can only fill 2

[forest palm]

pretty sure you just have to clear ch 4, either way the focus is to make the strongest fleets possible rather than 4 shitty fleets

[wind hazel]

[forest palm]

advice still holds true

[wind hazel]

true

[fallen jay]

Is Bois Bell a limited time unit?

[viscid swift]

yes

[fallen jay]

Damn. I’ve pulled well over 10 times today since it’s the last day and still haven’t gotten her.

[whole crypt]

sup mogs

[jaunty vault]

mogged

[vocal niche]

is it worth to do medal gacha?

[wind hazel]

no, requisition is a scam

[vocal niche]

got it thanks

[spark patio]

It seems like a feature for scammers to ruin ppl’accounts

[wind hazel]

after you've purchased everything from medal shop, maybe you can have fun gambling

[sage sluice]

i mean theres maybe like.......a couple worthwhile ships in the pool lol

[vocal niche]

are there any skins that change characters' voiceline during combat?

[spark patio]

[agile patrol]

How do I. Get rid of the ultradebuff on my fleet?

am i stuck here

[whole crypt]

go down the sides there are a few sets of trash mobs you can defeat to remove low resolve

[agile patrol]

ohhh i thought there was only that siren

[whole crypt]

but I'd start with using other fleets first

[agile patrol]

they're. extermely trash and are only there for the crossfleet skills 💔

[whole crypt]

show levels

[agile patrol]

trust. they're horse acid 🐴

[wind hazel]

horse acid

you should group your high level together

better than mixing with the low level horse acids

[agile patrol]

yaa all my good ships are on fleet 1

this is what i use for everything

[whole crypt]

yeh well, kill the mob fleet come back and kill boss, but sort your fleets out before doing next abyssal

[wind hazel]

i mean your other high levels. BRS penny saratoga, otto sandiego

[whole crypt]

also get this higher

[agile patrol]

ive been trying to get as many as i can

[whole crypt]

just go repeat some C5s

[undone plover]

there is a few that change the skill line at least
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Bismarck_Zwei/Quotes
for example zwei oath skin changes her skill line
maybe check wiki but quotes pages are sometimes outdated

[agile patrol]

Which of these get turned into vouchers at the end of the season? and how many vouchers do i typically need to clear the shop?

[agile patrol]

thanks!!

[wind hazel]

clear shop around 13k, but the recommended items are only around 10k ish

maybe even lower

[agile patrol]

13k..
636 from supply token. 125 ish from ESDs
uhhh . . . .
i don't.. have anywhere near even 5k vouchers . . .
oops...

[ivory pawn]

8,760 to get all the good stuff.

[undone plover]

u can also click the item in game and it tells u how many vouchers it will convert to

clear the loggers and use all your AP before the month ends if u can

dont worry about vouchers

[ivory pawn]

Got a lotta AP boxes, use ‘em all up and do any Strongholds and you’ll see that number skyrocket.

[agile patrol]

yaaa i'll try to sweat them out soon

[wind hazel]

less than 5 more days

[agile patrol]

i still have a lot of markers on the map. shouldnt take too long though

[undone plover]

even if u cant clear the red loggers just getting to 75-80% HP threshhold for the first reward milestone is better than it converting to vouchers

[wind hazel]

ye, spend 2-3 days and get your enterprise to lv120/125, then do them. you'll do more damage

c4 should be doable for you with lion enterprise

[agile patrol]

yaa i cleared my first C4 abyssal
wasn't too difficult. i absolutely don't think i can do C5 red loggers though

[spark patio]

help

[wicked obsidian]

Who should i get ?

[late flame]

bismarck if you need ironblood tech

[wicked obsidian]

i need Sakura Tech

[late flame]

then suruga

[wicked obsidian]

How about amagi

[split gazelle]

so you already have avp/agir/fdg?

[wicked obsidian]

[late flame]

avp : https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/August_von_Parseval
fdg : https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Friedrich_der_Große

[wind hazel]

what he meant is getting ironblood tech is more beneficial

[wicked obsidian]

owww...no i dont have any of those 3

[wind hazel]

then you should consider getting bismarck or tirpitz

[wicked obsidian]

hmm..OK

[slow barn]

For opsiren, which antiair is better?

[slow barn]

For BBs

[ivory pawn]

Always Staag (or UR twin 76) for BBs.

[slow barn]

But isn't the fp stats worth it?

[ivory pawn]

HIT even better.

[slow barn]

Alright

[undone plover]

imo u should still try them
try 1 and see if u can get 50% hp or 75%
U still get rewards
and there is a 8 hour (I think) cooldown ability that heals all your fleets that u can use to fight an abyssal with the same fleets twice before leaving

[whole crypt]

generally for most targets of value where the difficulty is concerned, BBs are more likely to lose more damage out of missing a shot from the lower HIT than the damage gain from the FP will get you

[north elbow]

i forgot

how do you get fate simulation for agir

[wind hazel]

you wait until dev implement it

[north elbow]

oh it doesnt exist yet?

[wind hazel]

ye

[left cedar]

i recommend u to w8 laying in a confy place, cuz it will be a long road to ... and i would be surprised if Brest get it first

[wind hazel]

getting augment before fs5

[late flame]

in before her fs5 is worse than anchorage's kek

[whole crypt]

the aug is named FS5

there is actually no way Agir's FS5 will be worse than Anchorage because just by virtue of being DR the luck is 1% more evasion

[left cedar]

well, just w8 to see, but i would be surprise if going to be a piece of shit one ...

[sage sluice]

wait agir is getting an aug?

[whole crypt]

no

[sage sluice]

aww i got excited for a moment

[late flame]

guess we forgot the /s

[left cedar]

yes, but noone knows when

[whole crypt]

even if Agir got 0 improvement to her skills 1% evasion rate on her base HP is bigger than Anchorage

[left cedar]

and that gona make a piece of shit one ... cuz only the stats being worth it

[whole crypt]

unless devs intentionally nerf her skills for FS

[left cedar]

they did a shit one for FdG, and she is bottom for UR BBs ... after that one i just have 0 hope to expect gud things from Agir

[whole crypt]

actually FdG FS is good in the sense that she no longer loses damage from being damaged

it's kind of nice on fights where there's some mainfleet pressure

the barrage is somewhat unimpressive but still an improvement

[left cedar]

compare her improvment to Haky ... is no freaking hell to be even close of that improvment

[whole crypt]

similar state of skill improvement for Agir is going to be even better given it's on top of the 1% evasion

[late flame]

ironic because hakuryuu still crept by amagi (cv)

[robust nymph]

should i retro her if i have 0 plans on playing her after 120?

[left cedar]

kinda Shrop isnt much a thing, so if u are a begginer or somehow struggling to get matts and coins, dont bother with it rn

[whole crypt]

one of the skill improvements for Agir will likely be removing ammo type reqs for her blue skill, not seriously relevant for HE guns but she'll get a damage boost even with AP guns

[late flame]

only for collection % - no hurry to do it unless you are scrapping her afterwards maybe?

[robust nymph]

then nah ill save coins

[left cedar]

rn, ours only option is w8 to see, and my stands are crazy low for Agir FS5

[whole crypt]

I honestly think FdG's FS isn't that bad, at least in the time it happened

[robust nymph]

what about her, how strong/bad she is?

[whole crypt]

she was at least under less threat of turning irrelevant for ch14 back then and for a while was basically queen mobber, compared to Drake that was barely relevant even after her FS

[little tree]

~~ imagine agir fs is just torp skill upgrade ~~

[whole crypt]

Azuma also wasn't really going anywhere

[paper walrus]

i left my fleet in the dorm and overnight they didnt recover morale at all has this happened to someone else

[undone plover]

check here
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit?gid=1370253760#gid=1370253760

she is kind of like independence

but weaker overall probably

[robust nymph]

oh not too bad, ty!

[undone plover]

Sometimes the morale bugs out
Restart the app or check the dorm before u sortie

Even without dorm they should recover up to 119 in a few hours

[whole crypt]

she occupies a weird niche of having double half-time launches for short mobbing like OS, not exactly hard content but it's something

[fallen verge]

is unzen rerun likely to be before or after the jp anniversary?

[wind hazel]

after

[tardy trench]

since i stop gacha, what should i do with coins ?

[sweet delta]

Research projects, shipyard coining, limit breaks, awakenings, gear enhancement, and stuff

[robust nymph]

is this damage normal? thought shinano and agir would do more, is it a big difference if theyre both lvl119 instead of 125? this is the event's EX

[sweet delta]

Considering that the boss is light armor which is shinanos weakest, and without knowing anything Bout your gear except that aegir might be using an AP gun, there's not much to say

[undone plover]

How are your adapt levels btw?

This is opsi right?

[sweet delta]

Mine are nearly 300 each

[robust nymph]

oh i didnt know it was light armor, im using wrong weap on warspite as well then

[undone plover]

Who is the boss
There is cats so this is not meta

[wind hazel]

suchi, on the endgame ranking sheet, what torp did you use when testing unzen's dmg vs Light?

[sweet delta]

If you read the message with the picture

[undone plover]

Oh damn I rly EN

[wind hazel]

no torpedo

[robust nymph]

boss? this guy

[sweet delta]

no test

[wind hazel]

wdym no test

[agile patrol]

Hi
There was a "Two ships stand on these tiles" thingy in an OpSi hidden zone but
They disappeared when I defeated the 'rally points' and completed the quest

Was I supposed to stand on those before completing everything else?

[ebon verge]

is essex retro the only ship with 4 skills

[sweet delta]

I think doing the 2 tile thing just opens that square. But so does finishing the zone

[cobalt rapids]

4 skills that u can level ? yes

[wind hazel]

what torp was used in the calculation then?

[agile patrol]

ohh so its just an alternative

[sweet delta]

I'll get back to you on that later

[robust nymph]

this was the gear btw

[wind hazel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/817159241701916692.webp?size=56

[sweet delta]

How long did they survive for?

[robust nymph]

quite a long time, timer was 3:01. i mean relative to other attempts with different ships it was longer at least

so like 2 minutes i guess?

[sweet delta]

Try adding unicorn and fixing the gear for more damage if you want to try

[robust nymph]

unicorn instead of shinano?

[sweet delta]

Like rocket fighter and HE guns

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/bosses/id/1685

[robust nymph]

oh okie

i also have 49 prints of the tenrai just need 1 more..

[wind hazel]

buy it from shop

[robust nymph]

thats how i got the 49 other ones

[wind hazel]

out of proto?

[robust nymph]

yup

i didn’t even know until now they are also from somewhere else

[noble pawn]

are there like many mobs in EX to such use of barracudas?

I haven't tried EX Normal yet cuz underleveled

Ryusei or Saiun for bossing maybe

[twin parcel]

Is there any way to stop this pop-up every freaking day...?

Tried both ticking & unticking. Both give pop-up next day...

[robust nymph]

are these gold planes? i only have gold ones

[wind hazel]

no, it will always be there daily

[noble pawn]

Or Tenzan Kai if you don't have any

[wind hazel]

unless you dont logout

[noble pawn]

Then maybe Tenzan but you'd upgrade it to Lvl 10 to be really useful imo

[twin parcel]

[agile patrol]

embrace it

[twin parcel]

This pop maybe end up being one of the reason I might uninstall someday, but not today...

[eternal basalt]

And also patch notes!

[twin parcel]

Blue Archive made me numb to those. Those who play Blue Archive would know...

[narrow kiln]

By the way, how much harder does it become to farm experience for PR ships if you use only 2 ships of the faction?

[quiet pawn]

whats the next ur to be added to the ur exchange?

[viscid swift]

probably Musashi

[eternal basalt]

33%

[harsh gust]

very slightly more if the 1 non-faction happen to get the mvp

[worldly pewter]

just do the daily 3 hard stages

[narrow kiln]

Is good vanguard and Bismark Zwei, Gneisenau and Jade can be used as mob fleet, how you think?

[noble pawn]

for leveling? Hell yeah

is this normal for boss to disappear?

Never seen this mechanics before

[worldly pewter]

as long as the stage doesn't get stuck go on
there are bugs that forces u to relaunch

[solid delta]

Is twhkmo server and international synced? And are they both on the same schedule following jp?

[worldly pewter]

no uni gl hf

[noble pawn]

Oh I can clear EX Normal just fine

[worldly pewter]

the modern normal ex stages are like ch10 stages

[wind hazel]

global is only few hours behind jp and cn, taiwan server... has their own thing, not synced with us

[nimble wyvern]

don't know if this is the exact right place for this but is there a way to change the character you see in the guild lobby?

[solid delta]

Btw I read the pins and saw that rookie mission

Is it at the last stage then I could choose between shinano and nj?

[noble pawn]

I got the wrong gear and ship cuz I was lazy af to change

[sweet delta]

it's always St. Louis for blue guilds or Leipzig for red guilds

[nimble wyvern]

well i mean the chibis

these guys

Speaking as a newbie which of the research ships should I start? Given I rmb nothing about my account and it’s very beginner and hasn’t start those yet

[nimble wyvern]

i changed her and it doesn't update, do i just have to wait until reset?

[solid delta]

Roon? Monarch?

[steady vigil]

is it just me or is doing more damage than plymouth a ridiculously high bar

[wind hazel]

what's unzen dmg and dps with hind gun? well the data for med and heavy, basically

[wind oxide]

When alvitr rerun?

[worldly pewter]

anyone that u find doable without much of a streching in the usual mob comp

[sweet delta]

if you're not at chapter 11+ yet, then probably Saint Louis as your beginner fleet probably has mostly eagle union vanguard ships. Don't build Roon if you need to swap in useless ironblood vanguard ships

1371/1751/1647

[wind hazel]

damn unzen gun is kinda crazy huh

[tardy trench]

ok so i did 1 build for the event quest, didnt expect this

[atomic abyss]

Hi, such posts belong in #trophy-room
Please refrain from posting such things here if you dont have a question to ask

[thin flint]

Where should Eldridge be positioned?

[cobalt rapids]

what content
she usually takes tank or off tank

[thin flint]

For General and PVP

[cobalt rapids]

shes retrofit right
for general u can put her tank and if she dies move her off tank if she dies and u need her to survive more
for pvp #pvp

[storm olive]

pvp she usually takes tank or off-tank based on personal preference

[tardy trench]

okay mb!

[cosmic osprey]

What ship should i be using it on

[soft raft]

Those are both shit

[cosmic osprey]

oh i thought they are good thank god i dint upgrade them yet

shall i disassemble them

[eternal basalt]

Just toss them on some ships you don't use

[cosmic osprey]

oh ok.

btw i have a blue gyroscope what does it do

[eternal basalt]

It gives stats

[cosmic osprey]

shall i use it on one of my front 3 ships

[atomic abyss]

no

[cosmic osprey]

where do i see my blue prints

[atomic abyss]

it is not useful even as a poverty gear

[cosmic osprey]

oh i can craft some gears

[brazen lotus]

Hey lads, tryin to chip hard arbiter but only getting her to 80% or so. Gonna make an axis faction fleet thread if anyone has tips I'd appreciate it.

[cosmic osprey]

is there any gear hear i can make that can be useful for my ships

[forest palm]

Fire Control, Naval Camouflage, Hydraulic Steering Gear

[atomic abyss]

fire control radar
hydraulic sterring gear
naval camouflage

[brazen lotus]

Hard arbiter help / axis fleet

[cosmic osprey]

i should use the naval camo on the front 3 and how about the other 2

[forest palm]

if it isn't a DD, yes

[cosmic osprey]

whats dd

[atomic abyss]

he isnt using a DD currently

dd is destroyer

like laffey

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see im using sandy instead of her now

[atomic abyss]

helena and sandy take 1 camo each
portland wants 1 camo 1 steering gear

[cosmic osprey]

how about the fire control

[atomic abyss]

if you dont have enough camo for sandy and helena
steering gear works

fire control for your battleship in the back

[cosmic osprey]

like the ship in the orange slot

[eternal basalt]

Recommending camo instead of rudder, daaamn

[cosmic osprey]

so shall i give the fire to penny

[atomic abyss]

not sure what you mean by orange slot
but yes

[cosmic osprey]

in the formation

it shows orange slot with a ship in it

[eternal basalt]

That's flagship

[cosmic osprey]

yes thank you g thats what i was tryna say, mb for the misunderstanding

[atomic abyss]

your flag could be a carrier too
hence the confusion

[cosmic osprey]

oh idk what taht is

[atomic abyss]

it's the logos next to the levels you should be looking at

[cosmic osprey]

i will use the fire control on penny oh it doesnt matter who

[atomic abyss]

only penny can use that

[cosmic osprey]

sorry g idk the names like that yet pls forgive me

[atomic abyss]

read the newbie guide pls

for reference

[cosmic osprey]

ok sorry

im still tryna remember these 😭 . Is gonna take a while for me

shall i swap the fire control with a rammer or an auto loader?

[clear harbor]

Do gold/super rare quad magnetic torps generally perform better than quint mag torps? Like, is the jump in rarity worth going down a torpedo?

[stark quiver]

Yea

Quads are better in mostly everything

[clear harbor]

Because they're less likely to miss?

[forest palm]

well it's more like there's barely a noticable difference between UR Quint Mag and SSR Quad Mag

so you're just paying for an overpriced side grade

[stark quiver]

Lower spread

[terse fern]

Which new Atelier girl works best as the Flagship ? Or should I bring someone outside of collab to work as a flagship ?

[tribal storm]

getting back into game after a while and i for some reason have 2 extra copies of vanguard after my MLB copy, is scrapping them worth

[cobalt rapids]

dupes are only worth keeping for flexing or leaderboards(fleetpower/sometimes ex)

[tribal storm]

i think me from 2 years ago in my infinite wisdom MAY have burned 4 ur bulins just for the flex

also what is skin projection in the PR menu?

[cobalt rapids]

its explained in pins if u scroll down
tldr imaginary dupes for shipyard ships for secretary purposes

[clear harbor]

Makes sense. I should have thought about that. I invested a notable amount of resource into purple quint torps over quads.
Edit: Didn't use gold plates, though, thankfully.

[tribal storm]

so you can put the same ship as secretary several times

[cobalt rapids]

yes for multi skin purposes

[cosmic osprey]

hi, i have a purple fire control and idk if i should swap it out with an auto loader or a rammer

[cobalt rapids]

the rammer is worse

[tribal storm]

more gascogne skins when

[elfin hollow]

More Kronshtadt skins

[tribal storm]

who to MLB first...

[gilded carbon]

Z52

[sweet delta]

How many UR bulins can you have now ?

[tribal storm]

I can get a third pretty soon

[sweet delta]

Then don't use any

Ask when you can have 4. Unzen only needs 2, but she's rerunning soon and you may get duplicates for free

And idk what kind of filter you used to hide your max Vanguard, but show all UR ships next time

[steady rain]

is there a recommended choice for 2 ships in special ships wishing well? i want to get aquila for 2nd healer and not sure who else after reading the pins, i have none of the recommended ships in the wishing well pins and i can get essex from the anni selector

[worldly pewter]

suchi may i ask how did u know that he had a maxed vanguard ?

[sweet delta]

It sounds like you're a new player who should be saving cubes, so pick Aurora and someone from light and do one build . It ends today anyways

[sweet delta]

I backread

[steady rain]

im lvl 97 with 800 cubes, should i still pick aurora and who for 2nd?

[tribal storm]

I DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE MY UNITS SHOW WHEN THEYRE IN A FLEET

they get stuck at the top

[sweet delta]

Then show the top and filter for UR ships only

[worldly pewter]

yeah 100% if u pressed ur in that sort u would have seen every ur ship with the bulins

[sweet delta]

Aurora is much more impactful than Aquila , pick aurora and anyone you like

[tribal storm]

3 years and that never occurred to me for some reason

[forest palm]

<@&460646206851252224> bot scam

[cobalt robin]

Haven't played much Al recently, how is essex retro?

[rain vine]

slightly weaker version of fritz

[cobalt robin]

so she's still very good I assume?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[cobalt robin]

Les go

[brazen lotus]

Bumpin, axis opsi #gameplay-help message

[sage sluice]

Have we settled on a name for essex retro? Can it be retrossex? Copyrighted donut steel

[cobalt robin]

Ressex

[tribal storm]

in my head it's Essex Kai

also is there a guide on what researches are good to do

like I know basic research is kind of ass and mainly just there to kill time

[sage sluice]

somewhere yeah, dont have it but if youre farming ship BP's than always face researches

"grant" onces are a decent second place

[stark quiver]

for ww is it 1 data key for 4 runs
and does it only count as 1 clear on d3 boss fleets or no

[cosmic osprey]

guys do you know how long it takes the affinity to get 150 if my affinity is at 22

[stark quiver]

never unless you oath the ship

and it could take either a day or a long time to grind to 100 affinity, depends how much you use the ship

[sage sluice]

Affinity also does not go past 100 without oath

[atomic abyss]

well over 600 battles to hit 100

why did it even get below 50...

[stark quiver]

average unicorn moment

[cosmic osprey]

i was doing events to farm event coins as it ends tomorrow

let me load in and check how much affinity they r on now

[atomic abyss]

events arent even good for farming coins...

[stark quiver]

[cosmic osprey]

no i mean the event milestones thing

[stark quiver]

i think they mean benedictus coins

[cosmic osprey]

yes that is what i meant

[atomic abyss]

i wouldnt bother if it's at the cost of making your ships disappointed lol

[cosmic osprey]

i stop when it goes orange

[tribal storm]

is second floor of dorm worth so that I can farm more

[atomic abyss]

yes
stick 3 slots on 1st floor
and the 2nd floor which will give you the same number

[atomic abyss]

are you confusing morale and affinity

[cosmic osprey]

oh yes silly me i meant that mb

[atomic abyss]

affinity is how much the ship likes you and can be seen in the dock

[cosmic osprey]

i mean morale

[atomic abyss]

morale is consumed each time you battle with a ship

-2 each battle
20/h outside dorm
40/h in dorm first floor
50/h in dorm 2nd floor

[cosmic osprey]

yes that is waht i was meant to say. Im sorry i said the wrong thing by accident

[atomic abyss]

you will not go above 119 outside dorm

[cosmic osprey]

btw shall i used gems to expand the floor 1 . i need 1000 dorm coin

[atomic abyss]

no
use dorm coins for expansion
gems for 3rd dorm slot to put in more ships

[cosmic osprey]

oh calm thx g

[tardy trench]

are there any good elite ships ?, i have alot of bulins and im running out of capacity

[sweet delta]

Helena, unicorn, DDGs, aurora, potter, and others

If you still have extras then use them on ships for tech points of the faction you need

[fallen verge]

is there a guide for what equipment is good and what isnt

or what to look for in a piece of equipment

the "azurlaneecgc" web contain all info i need as a newbie right ?

[trail glade]

Why is the Junker so good ?

[stark quiver]

Most

[soft raft]

Strong converging TB for Operation siren boss battles (mainly META and Arbiter) where they can be synced with a slow/freeze and thus not completely whiff their entire payload

[cosmic osprey]

guys i got 8000 shall i use it to exchange to one copy of le hardi. I have already picked up all the gold boxes

[eternal basalt]

If you didn't get her to drop, do it

[cosmic osprey]

oh ok i will get her

[eternal basalt]

Final day of the event

[cosmic osprey]

luckily i bought her , is she good

how many hours is left for the event to be done

[eternal basalt]

Best of the event, though that's not saying much

[cosmic osprey]

oh ok

[chrome fiber]

Waiiiit is it possible to retrieve the ring if a oathed ship is retired?

[tame jungle]

nope your ex-shipwife takes it in the divorce

[eternal basalt]

Should take 50% of your gems too, fix it Manjuu

[sinful escarp]

and you lose a set amount of gold monthly

[zenith wren]

I have a fleet of mostly 100-120 ships. Can't beat the EX stage for the event. Any advice?

[sweet delta]

The EX stage is level 125 so that's understandable. What ships specifically?

[cerulean field]

If i have 2 fleets fighting but I dont use one of the fleets, do both fleets get exhausted?

[zenith wren]

It was actually the Sp stage and I've got Honoka, Tamaki, Unicorn, Belfast, z23, and Takao in 1 fleet and King George 5th, Arizona, Centuar, Algerie, Laffey, and Leander in the 2nd fleet

So how would I go about building a fleet for the SP stage? Ships, gear, what not?

[tribal storm]

morale down is caused by engaging in combat, so your boss fleet or second fleet should suffer almost no exhaustion compared to your mob fleet

[whole crypt]

throwing rainbows at the problem could be a start

[zenith wren]

?

[late flame]

meaning UR ships

[whole crypt]

this is what I used on my weaker account

[zenith wren]

I don't have too many of those yet sadly

[hollow gust]

"weaker"

[robust onyx]

Yeah it's weaker no Plymouth to support Lion

[whole crypt]

relative to this

[cosmic osprey]

damn lvl 125 is that the highest character level

[whole crypt]

(also tech and gear)

[cosmic osprey]

1 day it will be me 😭 😭 😭

how do u have an acc with lvl 125 characters and saying is weak

[tribal storm]

lowkey you look away while farming and it just happens

[robust onyx]

More of not the best team rather than weak

[tribal storm]

it's weaker

not weak

[cosmic osprey]

damn how long do u think it will take me to get to lvl 125

[robust onyx]

Lvl125 characters not long, player lvl very long

[cosmic osprey]

oh

[whole crypt]

my weaker account should be roughly equivalent of an account played for uhhh half a year to 9 months, with optimization

[tribal storm]

feels bad to have missed lion, bismarck zwei and laffey ii

[robust onyx]

Those are pretty big misses

Guam n Laffey 2 rerun should be soon though

Zwei just reran recently

[tribal storm]

FUCKKK i missed both 😭

she comes to perm next right

[robust onyx]

Zwei eventually

[whole crypt]

Musashi is next

[robust onyx]

Guam n Laffey 2 will likely rerun after Unzen

[whole crypt]

for archive

Guam and Laffey II rerun should be next Jan/Feb

[tribal storm]

is there any downside to using the high efficiency plans

[whole crypt]

you burn out morale faster

basically everything is doubled so it's only if you're trying to save time

[robust onyx]

You burn oil faster also

[tribal storm]

are dorm slots past 3 worth

or should i just get the second floor and not think about it

[robust onyx]

More the latter

[whole crypt]

normally for F2P it's 3x2

[jovial badge]

what should i get out of the event shop??? (except gold tech boxes that i alr bought)

nvm theres the datamine im dumb

[tribal storm]

usually its ship > gun > blueprints

[jovial badge]

anyways uhh i bought a 4th dorm slot by mistake, is that fine or?

[tribal storm]

at least thats how ive always cleared stuff out

[ionic kraken]

Is it ok to 125 a ship cause you like them? Or meta only to 125?

[jovial badge]

alrr

-5 hrs left, in gonna stay all night just for another 6k+ event coins to clear out the shop

[soft raft]

Depends on how much you can spare those cog arrays

[sinful escarp]

do switch mechanisms appear in secured zones?

[steady vigil]

are all the corrosion 6 zones equivalent for grinding?

[rain vine]

yes, but its not worth grinding corrosion 6
grind corrosion 5 is more ap efficient

[steady vigil]

AP efficient for getting what?

[rain vine]

cat nodes

[steady vigil]

my focus is on gold plates

and cat nodes are the best source of gold plates?

[rain vine]

so youre going for cat nodes

[steady vigil]

okay thanks. Are all c5 zones functionally the same?

[rain vine]

yes

[steady vigil]

is lion gun strictly better than the american HE gun?

[static sphinx]

What auxiliary do I use for royal fortune?

[rain vine]

http://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/ss?ship=royal_fortune

[static sphinx]

Ok thanks, but what do the 1/2 and 2/2 thingies mean?

[soft raft]

Lion gun > NJ gun > 406 Mk6

[rain vine]

different options

[static sphinx]

Ok

Thanks

[cobalt gate]

so i didn't know this is a thing, so i lose the chance to get this forever?

[rain vine]

most likely, yes
unless they decide to rerun it for whatever reason

[cobalt gate]

welp i hate how they didn't even avertise it anywhere, i just saw it randomly on discord
