[cobalt gate]

i think this is a 1st time they had like an url exlucive thing

[late flame]

only reason why i'm on official discord kek
it is in the News tab in-game when you log in game, but yeah its overlooked...

[cobalt gate]

oh was it?

yeah i'm not a big fan, other game do url stuff i don't think i saw them do exlusive stuff

wait i don't see it ingame

[stark quiver]

they advertised it in #game-news

[cobalt gate]

oh i see that now , nothing in game though

and like no reminders.....

[vocal niche]

thankss

[orchid reef]

who can i reaplce with Kronshtadt

[rain vine]

spee

[stark quiver]

is kronk even max limit broken

[orchid reef]

ofc

well, what gear for her

[versed forum]

Opsi Fleets

[orchid reef]

for kron

[soft raft]

Standard CB stuff like with Agir

[orchid reef]

on agir i have this so thats good?

[soft raft]

bruh why a CA gun
surely you have a Agir gun by now

[orchid reef]

what agir gun?

[forest palm]

use this...

[orchid reef]

on agir or kron?

[orchid reef]

idk lowk whats that heh

[soft raft]

Both
they both have caliber requirements that CA guns cannot meet

CB guns are also flat out better than CA guns cuz they bypass shields completely since they're arcing shells

[soft raft]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_305mm_(SK_C/39_Prototype)#tabber-CB_Variant

[orchid reef]

oh i dont yet heh

[forest palm]

then the purple gun from above...

[soft raft]

Bruh how

[orchid reef]

alr uh for anti-air, auxilarity same stuff as agir right

[orchid reef]

idk 😭

something like this could work ig?

[hard ocean]

I hate to ask something that'd been asked before but I couldn't find it.

As someone who plays this game a bit too casually, is there any reason to collect fleet tech points aside from being able to start PR ships? I know it also gives stats, but do they add up to anything worthwhile?

[ocean oriole]

Hi guys, I hit the 55k mark is that a good stopping point?

Or should I push for the 60k mark?

[rain vine]

55k is fine

[ocean oriole]

Ty 🙏

[steady vigil]

the stats you slowly gain over time will absolutely steroid your ships up

the stuff to focus on is AVI and FP for all applicable ship types, and TRP for vanguards

[rain vine]

not specifically for fleet tech points, but you generally will want some lvl 120 fleet tech for some ships

[steady vigil]

the others you can take it or leave it really.

you can check on the wiki for what tech types a ship gives so you can decide whether she's worth your time raising to 120

I guess accuracy is good as well

[viscid swift]

Accuracy would be more valuable than FP and AVI

[steady vigil]

how valuable is reload? great on BB and CV, not that great on others?

[hard ocean]

Oh I'll end up goign for all of it since I can do it slowly

[viscid swift]

if it helps you hit timings/get an extra salvo off it's god tier

[wind hazel]

not as important, but can be good on others, mostly CA torp timing, or DD especially z52 trafalgar

[hard ocean]

I'll proiritize Acc, FP, AVI 👍

[viscid swift]

otherwise it's whatever

[stark quiver]

oathless words

[wind hazel]

[viscid swift]

[wind hazel]

[stark quiver]

tech diff

[steady vigil]

is there a solved set of gear for syncing soyuz with nakhi?

[stark quiver]

for what armor

[steady vigil]

light

[wind hazel]

solved set?

[viscid swift]

just plug and play in Lars' calulator for a bit

[stark quiver]

42 cv rld and 18 bb rld

[steady vigil]

I was just messing around with it and I couldn't really figure it out, it kept getting desynced after the first attack cycle

[steady vigil]

I was noticing a huge loss in damage when using double hellcat compared to 1 hellcat 1 skyraider

is it worthwhile to just do the double hellcat anyway?

[stark quiver]

you lose more damage when it desyncs and nothing hits

[steady vigil]

is this correct?

[stark quiver]

but dont worry cuz with 76 rld you can sync

[steady vigil]

I thought we don't get cats in meta fights

[wind hazel]

we dont

[stark quiver]

meta

[steady vigil]

meta

[wind hazel]

42 cv 4 bb 💩

[stark quiver]

you cannot sync skyraider nakh and soyuz

or can you

[echo nexus]

any chance i can do this last minute? just cleared all the event stages for the first time in hard mode

[crude jetty]

Hi guys Laffey II or Eldridge Retro is better / they do different things?

[stark quiver]

its possible

[stark quiver]

differnt things

[vocal niche]

when ships got rerun will they be in the same banner roster ? feel like it's not worth that way if you dont have only 1 ship from that banner

[echo nexus]

funky, i’ll keep at it then 👀

[sinful escarp]

with multiple fleets i think its possible

[viscid swift]

yes

[ocean oriole]

What do u guys do in this situation?

[wind hazel]

nothing

[ocean oriole]

I'm saving for Anniversary now....

[analog phoenix]

Can we still doing a low-cost oil in event ?

[wind hazel]

yes but you have 5h left lol

[ocean oriole]

Mori should I be doing story or farming event for resources?

Which is better?

I hit 55k already.

[wind hazel]

story if at least ch9

[ocean oriole]

Ok ty

[analog phoenix]

Thanks , Is there a guide i can do lowcost oil team ?

[soft raft]

basic beginners guide to low oil cost is UniKai + a DDG

[wind hazel]

ranger+cassin/downes, lv70 0LB, put great gear on them like wyvern tenrai twin100 quad mag etc. use strong cats with great talents like flames
fill 2nd fleet with strong crossfleet, musashi alsace soyuz kron shimakaze unzen.

[viscid swift]

we have not even 5 hours left to go in this event though and low costing is very time consuming

like you'd be better off just rotating as many 1-1 fleets and spamming Ht6

[forest palm]

that or make speed run fleets

[vocal niche]

we are not at anni yet?

[viscid swift]

No, the JP anni stream isn't until the 5th

EN Anni event is just about to end

[vocal niche]

oh...

[steep vortex]

Which one should I grab?

[viscid swift]

Shinano dupe for limit breaking

[clever valley]

is it my imagination or does baltimore take alot of damage even if shes not in the left slot

[vocal niche]

how do I get that selector?

[stark quiver]

it depends on the enemy

[clever valley]

its the 400 pity

[clever valley]

oh, is she weak to certain ships?

[stark quiver]

no, but she has lower end ehp and it depends on the enemy, if they do big damagae then you take big damage

[soft raft]

What lvl is she, what lvl is the enemy, and how close is she to MLB

[clever valley]

she is 79 the enimies are 92 and shes at 2nd, ive been hesitant to spend the last 2 sr buli to mlb her as essex needs a bunch to retro and ive been lvling sandy in prep for w10+ so she needs them as well

[soft raft]

Damn 13 lvl disadvantage and LB2, no wonder why she's getting her shit kicked in

13 lvl disadvantage means she's dealing 26% less damage while taking 26% more damage in return

[late flame]

+dealing less damage since she is not MLB surprisedpikachu.jpg

[clever valley]

ah, i see. yah my 2nd fleet vanguard is lacking ive been trying to grind xp as much as i can to get them up to where the 1st fleet is

[hot turret]

I finally got my first UR bulin, should I limit break Lion first since she's the best dps rn?

[clever valley]

i have 6 sr buili so i think ill mlb baltimore unless you think i should save for the jp ani

[quaint shadow]

So how do I use this one

[viscid swift]

if you're not in W12 forget about Sandy and Essexs retrofits for the time being

they're massive resource sinks which you frankly cannot afford

[soft raft]

Bench her
She's painfully meh

Weak barrage and fairly eh kit otherwise

[viscid swift]

save until you have enough to max limit break a UR(4)

[quaint shadow]

What about her cv version it's been sitting on my dock doing nothing

[viscid swift]

can you max limit break her

[solid delta]

is it worth it to pull on the limited selection pool? if so which should i opt for rateup

[late flame]

just select from light banner

[limpid moon]

out of my current urs, which ones are worth lmbing? I have one bulin rn and im able to purchase 5 more

[quaint shadow]

Somehow I wanna put Repulse back on my team for no reason

[limpid moon]

also what should i be spending my protocores on

i bought out the prototype tenrai but i dont know what other ur prints are are worth buying

[covert tulip]

why is your new jersey still not mlb?

[limpid moon]

i only got her a few days ago from wishing well

[late flame]

well, NJ has been powercrept by other rainbow BBs so..

[hot turret]

Ight

[late flame]

yatsen and aurora from light banner (not avrora) - just do one daily pull

[atomic abyss]

Why would they mlb her to begin with

[wind hazel]

none at the moment, just wait for september UR

[atomic abyss]

There's many higher priorities

[sinful escarp]

tbh i would wait before mlb any UR. jp anniv is close

[atomic abyss]

Let alone any upcoming one

[covert tulip]

i see. I thought new players instantly gets NJ right after.

[atomic abyss]

Nope

[late flame]

since when lol

[atomic abyss]

It takes a fair bit of time to even get her from the newbie missions

[sinful escarp]

that is after the newbie missions

[limpid moon]

nah, i only got back into the game around lion event, first started playing around 2020 but quit around 2022

[atomic abyss]

Even then since he already has warspite

[limpid moon]

other than that ive been just logging on randomly and pulling

[atomic abyss]

Might as well get the augment for her and ignore nj

[clever valley]

ah i see kk

[agile patrol]

just so i have a. measurement to work on or approximation
how long does it take to get enough gear lab mats for a UR gun?

[sweet delta]

You can max Trafalgar now

[sweet delta]

Two months I suppose

[agile patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/взгляд-2000-ярдов-война-war-soldier-gif-3632617944134077161

[wind hazel]

what if jp anni is double UR and more broken than trafalgar?

[sweet delta]

With some in parallel. In 2 months you can get enough for a rainbow and also have progress toward another rainbow gear

[late flame]

[agile patrol]

ahh rightttt
okay that's fair!!

[limpid moon]

is she better than shimakaze as thats who i was thinking about upgrading recently

[viscid swift]

Ibuki is better than Shima

[sweet delta]

Then the whole world would explode because according to some people, this anni has a 121% chance of being an IJN vanguard ship

[sweet delta]

You can check endgame tier list in /tierlist and find out that Ibuki is a direct upgrade of Shimakaze, and Trafalgar is far more useful than shimakaze

[hot turret]

I see Bismark Swei is considered good in endgame, good thing I have her already

Not that I'll upgrade her yet, not gonna reach engame for a looooong time, but it's nice to have the good endgame ships early

[runic bluff]

how good is the pr8 UR gun blueprint??

[robust onyx]

Which print the gun or characters?

[runic bluff]

im still yet to get the 3rd pr7 plane

[sweet delta]

best heavy, second best medium

[robust onyx]

The UR gun is one of the best BB gun against heavy armor targets

[runic bluff]

dunno if I should get a 3rd pr7 plane

[wind hazel]

how many prints you got? on 3rd

[runic bluff]

26

[wind hazel]

too far, go 8

[steady vigil]

does this torpedo exist for any particular reason?

[runic bluff]

afaik raid event

[steady vigil]

it's gear lab craftable

[runic bluff]

surely 3 is enough???

[stark quiver]

yes

[past beacon]

Can someone help me build 2 fleet for Siren

[whole crypt]

how will meck gun compare with daisen gun for musashi

[sweet delta]

Perseus Aquila unicorn (where's independence?) Eugen Sandy Shimakaze
Musashi bisz NJ aegir Helena SF

Recommend buying dock space do that you can actually have more good ships

[fleet berry]

And when you are ready to raise her, she's already been powercrept.

[crude jetty]

What kinda team comps are Laffey II, Eldridge Retro used in

[hot turret]

Lol maybe, I'll just be collecting ships in the meantime anyways, no need to worry about endgame yet, I got bigger objectives in mind

[sweet delta]

For heavy it's still daisen.
For medium it's still autoloader raff except that other BBs need raff.
If meck doesn't jam other BB or get jammed then meck, otherwise 457 is too fast and low total damage despite having the highest dps, so musashi still takes daisen.

[sweet delta]

laffii is used anywhere in campaign in any fleet, and she can tank single-target bosses but there are better options.
Eldridge is used anywhere you need your vanguard to survive better, like campaign or some meta showdown or some other endgame content

[quiet kiln]

Is Guam, Eldridge, Plymouth a usable comp?

[sweet delta]

usable for sure

[bright tusk]

Is the pr8 180mm good for BB secondary?

[sweet delta]

it has 45 FP but doesn't actually kill suicide boats as well as some other guns

[atomic abyss]

probably october

[rapid summit]

Ok ty

Is my discord glitched or sum

[strong tartan]

musashi is next to be perma right

is there usually a common gap between ur events going perma

[wind hazel]

past 2 ones were added around 10months after rerun

before that they were longer, so who knows if they stay within 10 months this time, or maybe even shorter

[plain saffron]

Please don't tell me event ends today

[strong tartan]

event ended 18 minutes ago actually

[slow fox]

Event does not end today

[plain saffron]

Rip

[slow fox]

It ended yesterday

[plain saffron]

I didn't get anyone from gacha

[wind hazel]

nasi sudah menjadi bubur

[strong tartan]

ok time for me to do math

[plain saffron]

[ashen moon]

I dont really have any good Battleships so should i get Tirpitz or Hood or Warspite from the medal shop

[wind hazel]

hood is good early to mid game

[ashen moon]

im at W6 with nelson and arkangel so yea

[wind hazel]

if your nelson is already leveled up just keep her, she's good post retrofit and with her pennant aux

[ashen moon]

So i can just replace arkangel with hood

[wind hazel]

not exactly. use either hood or nelson, don't use both in the same fleet

if you have gold bulins and some exp books with you then hood will improve your fleet

[clever valley]

I need to lvl up the other ship so i can get nelsons pennant

[wind hazel]

nelson retrofit requires lv85, and skill lv90, so kinda late

[ashen moon]

I see

[wind hazel]

hood on the other hand need lv70 for her augment, that's including 4 gold bulins for her limit break of course

[cosmic osprey]

is this a major update are we gonna get a lot of content

[wind hazel]

no, kinda dead week, besides the eldridge retro item

[ashen moon]

i kinda chose bad time for asking cause i cant open the game rn

[clever valley]

Its maint for 4 more hrs

[cosmic osprey]

omg 4hr i thought is gonna be a huge update

[clever valley]

6 total started at midnight, so nope just a normal update, the jp anni on the 11th i think will be a big one

[cosmic osprey]

omg 6hrs for a normal update, that is crazy

[late flame]

6 hours is standard
8 hours for bigger updates

[cosmic osprey]

oh wow

[robust onyx]

Guess I'll run 15-4 again

[sharp comet]

6 hours for a teeny tiny retrofit rerun & shop update

[hazy parcel]

it's been a while but what's the best world for coins n oils

[rain night]

will yorktown II ever come back?

[hazy parcel]

Still 12- or something?

[onyx flame]

if you want coins and exp it still 12-4, 13-4 if you only want coins iirc

[atomic abyss]

In the permanent banner
Yes
Eventually

[rain night]

how long? ill be in college if its gonna be another like 2 years 😭

[atomic abyss]

~6 months?

No way to know for sure

[rain night]

alright thats not bad

hope thats the case

[hallow mountain]

what about Musashi btw?

next year?

[tender lotus]

How good this torp?

[tender lotus]

Musashi should come before YorkII
If follow the release date that's it

[whole crypt]

let's just say meck gun is the only notable from PR8

[tender lotus]

Which one? The UR gun?

I thought it was Gouden's but whatever

Still halfway then

[whole crypt]

GL gun is good but it's a HE CB gun

[gilded carbon]

the York2-Event had a rerun only earlier this year, so it will be a bit, after Musa coems to Perma. But it should be "relatively" soon

[forest palm]

[polar idol]

is this a good time to be starting this game out?

[late flame]

anytime is a good time

[polar idol]

i c
is there a beginner guide somewhere?

[wispy cosmos]

not if youre playing en

[late flame]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/

[polar idol]

got it, thanks

[wispy cosmos]

u should hold off another ~1.5 hrs

[late flame]

maintenance ends around then yes

[oblique valley]

omfg i finally got eldridge

what is she good for?

[forest palm]

a lot of stuff actually, her retrofit item is also getting rerun starting after maint

[oblique valley]

i'm on jp server but yeah i gotta wait another week for that

what equipment does she use

[soft raft]

Typical DD stuff

[zenith heron]

HP Auxiliaries as usual, Any Good AA Gun, Any torp useful for a DD, and Damage focused DD guns as per usual...

[oblique valley]

can i use her as a tank? since my account has no good tanks or is she more off tank

[zenith heron]

She can tank, not a super tank, but she can tank, especially after Retrofit

[oblique valley]

will she be good enough for boss fights as the main tank 🥲

[zenith heron]

it depends, because she can tank well for me in Campaign, unless its World 15...

Other bosses like Harbiters, CMs and META fights are not recommended, but may vary

Like for example, she can Tank this month's META Fight, but not this month's harbiter... (unless if you want to cheese the Gold EU Manjuu Auxiliary)

[cosmic osprey]

is the server back up

[oblique valley]

i just finished chapter 12 moving on to 13 so should be enough, the only other tank i have is azuma but she’s been powercrept right..

[wind hazel]

yes, you should get anchorage/agir

though azuma suffice for w13, even 14

but anchorage and agir are better

[whole crypt]

so is this what the update is for

[wind hazel]

ye seaside 3D dorm

you guys got mandatory update right?

[whole crypt]

CN and JP did

[hushed sorrel]

the update time before and after events is mostly 6-8h. it kinda shows how small the developer is

but it should be working now

[oblique valley]

what's the difference between the two?

[wind hazel]

both are tank, anchorage has smokescreen skill, while agir has armour break debuff. both are great tanks

get anchorage first, she's cheaper to coin so she comes online faster

with catchup she comes online pretty quickly out of the gate, if you got it done

[oblique valley]

oh agir is decisive

[wind hazel]

yes

[oblique valley]

i'm close to getting shimanto i'll start anchorage after

[oblique valley]

what's the total amount if i have no blueprints, i constantly have no gold

[fallen verge]

is there any way to configure the auto battle to prioritise lower difficulty fleets

so that it doesnt just kill itself

[wind hazel]

/devbp

[odd root]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/460648604974055424/885529968455598170/unknown.png

[oblique valley]

oops i meant like what's the total amount of gold you need to coin out a ship?

[tropic tusk]

alot

[wind hazel]

that depends on how many you spend per day

[oblique valley]

right now a lot too tbh most of my ships/gear still need levelling

[wind hazel]

refer to the graph under Coin https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Shipyard

[cosmic osprey]

ive unlocked the cat thing is that important

[wind hazel]

recommended to get at least 10bp a day for good pacing

[dapper fog]

Yuubari buffs exp gains for cruisers. Houshou and Langly buff exp for carriers. Are there any other ships with exp+ skills?

#bot-spam for personal use of bot commands for future reference

[cosmic osprey]

is the best way to farm the cubes is carrying on with the campaign? Rn im on 196 cubes

[atomic abyss]

no, you should continue campaign, but campaign doesnt give cubes

you get cubes over time from daily missions and commissions primarily

not grinding

you get about 168 a month at minimum

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see so i gotta be doing campaign

[atomic abyss]

you only need 1 team

to push to w9

that should be your first goal

[cosmic osprey]

i meant i dont have enough units for comissions

[atomic abyss]

you shouldnt be investing in a 2nd team

[oblique valley]

how long will anchorage last me, can i run her as the main tank in like chapter 14+ or stuff like siren/ex

[soft raft]

The main thing is to do your dailies
That's a net gain of 3 cubes per day if you do a light pull for your daily build mission

[atomic abyss]

forever

[wind girder]

Has anyone seen this before

[atomic abyss]

still top few tanks in the game
can be used as your main tank for w15 and opsi

[wind hazel]

longer than azuma could

[oblique valley]

good to know, i wanted to get plymouth but my fken fleet tech is too low 💀 and agir might take too long to coin out

[atomic abyss]

anchorage has yet to be directly powercrept

[cosmic osprey]

btw i have unlocked the cat lodge, do i need to worry about it now or later on

[atomic abyss]

well, you level them thru commissions then

[atomic abyss]

later

[oblique valley]

for chapter 13 are bbs or cvs better for the bosses?

[soft raft]

I did 1 BB 2 CV

[atomic abyss]

BB + 2 CV for bosses from w13+

[soft raft]

CVs are a must because W13 is plane hell lite

[atomic abyss]

you need carriers for air superiority buffs

[hushed sorrel]

never. its not much afford. just train random yellow cats for now. you can do a lot but its not a must do

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see thanks g

[oblique valley]

is it enough if there are carriers in the mob fleet or 1BB2CV is still favored

[atomic abyss]

for w12 and w13 only
3x CV in mob is viable

minimum 2 CVs in mob

you want at least 4 CV/Ls in total for w13 and above

[cosmic osprey]

i havent touched the story for a few days cause I was focusing on the event. Im on 3-3 so hopefully i can get to 5

[hushed sorrel]

up to chap 12 should be easy without any good setup

[cosmic osprey]

my lowest lvl unit is 60

[rapid grail]

chat should I enhance this gear to +13?

[hushed sorrel]

if you need help with fleetbuilding you should post some screenshots, but for example you can get a few very good starter ships with shop currency you start with

[wind hazel]

yes but you can't

[atomic abyss]

good gear, but a waste of mats for +13

you can upgrade 3 gold guns to +13 with those resources

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 feel like this is just flex

[tropic tusk]

how yall so luckyto arleady got taht gun

[rapid grail]

including the universals, just need 3 more

maybe just in case I'll need it for some upcoming meta showdown or smth

[tropic tusk]

i have been focus on wep only since pr8 day 1

[whole crypt]

just enhance when you actually need to

[tropic tusk]

fking insane luck im only at 16 bp atm

[whole crypt]

46 now so actually having a copy now is lucky but not too crazy

[rapid grail]

okay then, keeping it
(new gun for pvp is going to release)

[opaque galleon]

You can’t decraft gold guns atm, and meck gun is bis for heavy, I would say to just +13 it since you’ll want 3 of them at the end of the day. Investing in gold guns atm is a bit of a waste of resources imo.

[wind hazel]

i mean that's just bad if you gear focus LOL

[tropic tusk]

bad as in bad luck or?

[wind hazel]

maybe bad picks

16 is extremely low for gear focus

[tropic tusk]

wait let me double check

[whole crypt]

bad picks

statistics doesn't work that way

[wind hazel]

you should be at least 25 by now, even if unlucky

or even 20

[tropic tusk]

mb 27

[wind hazel]

that sounds more like it

[whole crypt]

that's just normal bad RNG

assuming gear focus

[tropic tusk]

ok now i feel slightly better

[robust nymph]

how do i get rid of meta ships if i cant retire them?

[cosmic osprey]

if i change the order of the fleet can it affect the xp or will they perform thesame. Im talking about the front 3

[late flame]

they do not take up dock space

[robust nymph]

oh wait really

[tropic tusk]

did i select the corrct ones?

[ivory pawn]

The only increases to exp are the Flagship and whoever gets MVP. Vanguard positions won’t normally affect either.

[rapid grail]

the META botes used to take up dock space until a later update made them not count for dock space

they are now chilling in a subset of the dock

[whole crypt]

2.5G is kind of 🚮 and I wouldn't take 5hr face on gear focus

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see. Yh ur right i just finished the fight and it doesnt change it

[tropic tusk]

wt do u mean by that

[soft raft]

Where did they move META lab on JP and CN?
Heard that apparently it's no longer in the usual spot

[whole crypt]

it means you're picking the wrong researches for a gear focus

[whole crypt]

yeh they moved let me check where else can you find it from

[opaque galleon]

1.5hr grant donation is better because it’s shorter and let’s you reset faster. 5hr face likewise doesn’t give you enough to justify the 5hr wait time

[wind hazel]

dont take this unless you really had no better choice

[opaque galleon]

Technically 1hr rigging analysis is better than 2hr, but you can still take the 2hr ones if you are going to sleep or work.

[cosmic osprey]

i might of picked this for todays research 😭

[dapper fog]

Thank.

5hr face is only really bad if you're focusing gear

and honestly for early game just take what you can afford

[opaque galleon]

2.5 hr face is the best for specific character focus

[cosmic osprey]

never mind i did not pick it it was smt else. My longest research is 2hr 30mins

[obtuse remnant]

The other day I saw something like a tier list in a spreadsheet for a guide for the use of ships etc but I can’t find it anymore. Does anyone know where I can find it?

Ty

[whole crypt]

1hr rigging is only very slightly better than 2hr per hour and mainly for refreshing on top of drops, but I'd take 2hr if it's there regardless because you don't know what you get after refreshes

[cosmic osprey]

yh btw do you think i can get 400 cubes before the ur drops next month. Im on 196 rn

[whole crypt]

yes

[tropic tusk]

this was the only non free option lol there wanst even cube nor did i had refreash sadly

[whole crypt]

well maybe not before the event starts but enough before event ends, save coins for the build though

[cosmic osprey]

what u need coins too. How much do i need

is it like 40k or smt

[whole crypt]

you need coins to build it's just another event banner

to hit pity is like 300k coins, but you may not need to hit pity

[cosmic osprey]

omg 300k im on 5k coins 😭

[whole crypt]

or was it 200k I don't remember build costs

[tropic tusk]

when it comes to draw the main issue is cube , for money u can earn as u play

[cosmic osprey]

does pity reset or it carries over

[whole crypt]

event pity is per event, only permanent pity holds up

[cosmic osprey]

oh damn i gotta pray hard that i get lucky with the summons

[tropic tusk]

when u draw event perma doesnt adds up

[whole crypt]

just keep playing and stocking coins

[cosmic osprey]

yh u right i gotta grind

is it worth me give a promise ring to helena

[tropic tusk]

shes still being used in almost all ur bb team

[cosmic osprey]

yh she always gets mvp for my team. So i should ?

[tropic tusk]

oath are always up to u as they are more end end end game options

[rain vine]

unless you really want to spend a lot of real money on getting rings, you just oath waifu

[tropic tusk]

but if u do care about dmg n stuff put it on a dps and not a support

[cosmic osprey]

oh im not sure what to do then. I will hold off for now

what u have to spend money to get more of the rings?

[tropic tusk]

oath ring doesnt have expire time also so just keep till u really want to use

normally u will wait for x2 oath ring as its more cheap

[rain vine]

they cost gems, and if youre going to oath for meta, youre going to need a lot of them

[cosmic osprey]

damn i thought u can get it for free. Btw i am doing a 2nd rn to try and 3 star it. Im at the point i got the 3 star before the boss, so do i need to fight the boss or can i retreat and i will get the 3 stars

[whole crypt]

lmao did they accidentally remove all top layer links to meta lab

[wind hazel]

need to clear boss if you're doing kill all

[ivory pawn]

The 2nd star is completely independent of boss clear.

[cosmic osprey]

i dont need to worry about submarines now right

[wind hazel]

campaign no

daily raid 🤏🏼

[cosmic osprey]

can i sell that free sub u get at clearing 3-4

[tropic tusk]

u could just bring them in for tiny bit of exp for them if u have any

[wind hazel]

no, keep her, she's crucial for daily raid

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see

i can tell i can clear more story mode now cause ive gained a lot of lvls during the events. Is gonna be fun i hope

[sinful escarp]

keep doing the submarine raid even though you arent using subs yet. once you get the subs you will have equipment for them that way

[cosmic osprey]

i havent done any raids yet

[ivory pawn]

Should fix that, they give a nice chunk of coin daily.

Plus other useful stuff ofc.

[cosmic osprey]

oh can i do it at my current level

[whole crypt]

the only way to get there as far as I know for now is to go through a meta ship's detail screen or through showdown menu through a ship

[cosmic osprey]

what are the names of the raid i should do

[whole crypt]

all of them

[cosmic osprey]

i can only do few most of them are locked

[ivory pawn]

All of the ones you can do.

[sinful escarp]

it changes daily, except for the cognitive chips one

[whole crypt]

they're opened based on day of the week, just spend every attempt of every one you can do each day

[cosmic osprey]

oh calm

[ivory pawn]

Once you clear a daily raid stage successfully, you can “skip” future clears of that stage and just get the rewards.

[cosmic osprey]

oh wow that is good, i will do all the ones i can now

[muted crescent]

This a good meowfficer?

[wind hazel]

almost

[cosmic osprey]

btw for the submarine raid one shall i level my sub up with books?

[muted crescent]

what’s missing from it

[wind hazel]

the hp talent ruined everything

[muted crescent]

rip

[wind hazel]

useable until you got something better though

the other 2 talents are great talents

[muted crescent]

I had this before I got this

[wind hazel]

one with flame will be better

[swift path]

for general purpose, between new jersey, kronshstad, or UVH, which one should i UR exchange for?

[wind hazel]

you got the rest?

[tropic tusk]

y not nano?

[wind girder]

Okay since we talking about meowfficer I will ask again

[swift path]

already have her, not MLB'd tho

[wind girder]

Has anyone seen this before

[wind hazel]

then get shinano

[swift path]

i only have shinano out of all the UR exchange

[whole crypt]

so continue to get her to LB her

[wind hazel]

i tried leveling my takemaru, and saw this briefly before i got the 3 new talents, lol. you might be stuck in the bug

[swift path]

so if i already MLB, should i lets say replace my fleet 1 enty with shinano?

[wind hazel]

likely not, depends on how your 2 fleets look like

[swift path]

yeah actually fleet 2 is used for mobbing

also should i actually retrofit essex?

[wind hazel]

if you can, yes

can be quite expensive

[dusty pier]

Is perseus gud

[swift path]

from what i know she may be the best 2nd healing ship

[wind hazel]

yes, but unicorn is better

[late flame]

+unicorn does not use gold bulins

[dusty pier]

I saw the eldeidge retro. Should i use her for boss or just mobbimg

[noble pawn]

both

[swift path]

then considering i have both unicorn and perseus, should i put one of each for fleet 1 and 2

[wind hazel]

no, bench perseus until you start leveling tech

[whole crypt]

only your mob fleet should need a healer

[swift path]

bismarck zwei is fit more for mobbing or bossing?

[dusty pier]

Any good guide on fleetbuilding? Honestly i mostly just throw anything in and hope it works

[rain vine]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/fleetbuilding/

[muted crescent]

Both, I’d say

[swift path]

what about graf zeppelin

well then between amagi or akagi idol?

as to replace perseus

[slow barn]

Hey bro, can you help me for improve my w15 team again for get 3 stars?

[muted crescent]

Is there a meowfficer guide

[wind hazel]

under /cats

[viscid swift]

you got the map down to safe yet?

[slow barn]

its not safe, but is close.

Now i gonna get eldridge retrofit and i have essex retrofit.

[slow barn]

Is something like this good?

[viscid swift]

regular 155 on Musashi not the kai and ditch the Tenrai for another fighter or TB

and Flapjack on Unicorn preferably

[cosmic osprey]

is this good to use on any one of my starter fleet

[viscid swift]

no

<@&460646206851252224>

[cosmic osprey]

what is this

[viscid swift]

a scam

[slow barn]

Is swapping the sky pirate with the unicorn for the flapjack +13 with the aquila a good idea?

[cosmic osprey]

yes indeed hopefully it is removed

[viscid swift]

I wouldn't use the sky pirate at all

the AA buff is cope

[cosmic osprey]

btw my portland and saratoga are close to lvl 70 so should i lmit break them again at 70 or save my mats

[viscid swift]

limit break your ships asap

[slow barn]

Kai isnt better than regular 155 for killing the boats?

[cosmic osprey]

oh calm. I got a dupe of portland and sara so hopefully i can get one more each from doing campaign so i can save the bulin

[viscid swift]

only in W14

[viscid swift]

you don't need to br frugal with purple bullins

[cosmic osprey]

oh are they easy to get

[slow barn]

So what should I change for Tenrai? I think destroying the boss faster is the best option, so a TB is better. But which TB should I use? Convergent?

[viscid swift]

a Flapjack or Wyvern

[hardy creek]

Guys, how do I complete this mission

The fully limit break Essex one 💀, I've tried exiting the game and reentering

[slow barn]

I don't have another wyvern . And my vanguard, its better enough?

[viscid swift]

Breguet then

[tawdry maple]

what gives the RPG shield thing? Is it an equipment or a skill or a skin

[viscid swift]

better

[soft raft]

Aux gear skin
It's purely cosmetic

[viscid swift]

except you still forgot to replace the 155 kai

[slow barn]

From lion?

[tawdry maple]

ik, but it looks cool on main tanks

[viscid swift]

yes

[cosmic osprey]

is blue kagerou good to keep cause I cant find it on the tierlist?

[slow barn]

But its +13 this gear.

[viscid swift]

put the Twin 137mm back on Musashi

[viscid swift]

irrelevant if it can't hit what it's supposed to be shooting at

[wind hazel]

good for torp stat stick for hard mode requirement, can keep

[viscid swift]

dunno why you'd +13 aux guns in the first place honestley

[slow barn]

I had put it for my Helena

[slow barn]

Also i change something in my vanguard or its good enough?

[cobalt gate]

so was the port town adventures the only web event that had anything exlusive to it? i'm doing the survey and discovered there were a ton of web events i had no idea of due to how it had little marketing

[viscid swift]

I didn't make any reccs in that regard

[cosmic osprey]

btw on the map say im at 11/12 on destroying the fleet for a star, does it count if i encounter one that u have a chance to evade but u failed it so u have to fight it?

[rain vine]

no

[cosmic osprey]

thanks g

[modern aurora]

Kronshtadt, Ozhnevoy, and Kirov

Who's getting kicked out by Tallinn?

[whole crypt]

is Kronshtadt MLBd

[modern aurora]

No, but the buff she gets from having NP equipment is maxed

Ouch. Goodbye Kronch, you will be missed

[whole crypt]

don't use ships without MLB

also Tallinn just happens to be tank replacing your not-MLB'd tank

[undone zinc]

Who should i invite?

[cosmic osprey]

i maxed lb my first character which is san diego, lets goo

[modern aurora]

Wait there's an invite?

[undone zinc]

I found it on my Depot

Ty @whole crypt

[whole crypt]

if you are on EN it was part of EN anniv

[modern aurora]

...

So I just missed it

By a few days.

[cosmic osprey]

damn when was the inv given

[modern aurora]

And it has Tallinn.

[cosmic osprey]

i started few days ago and i missed it too

[modern aurora]

I'll go vent my rage at War Archives with my Italians

[cosmic osprey]

btw in the cat lodge should i be training any thing cause i have 7 cat boxes

[undone zinc]

I have Laffey, Otto and Helena for vanguard. All of them mlb
I now have Saint Louis mlb, who should i exchange her for?

[modern aurora]

In a full Northern Parliament team, should I use Admiral + Chkalov + Belorussiya for the Main Fleet? Or someone else, like Volga or Rossiya?

[spark patio]

Saint louis good to use?

[wind hazel]

open them, free damage. you're looking for gold and purple cats. more info under /cats

[spark patio]

oh i thought it was st louis, mb

[haughty skiff]

havent played in like 2 and a half years so i'm just double checking this comp for 14-4 lethal auto ; musashi boss / fdg mob

laffey retro is laffey 2 she just isnt on fleet-builder for some reason

[wind hazel]

the aa guns look cursed, shimakaze double torp very cursed too. and you don't need the beacons on unicorn aquila. upgrade 155 to 155 kai, give fdg hpfcr instead of black shell. use someone else than laffey, surely you have someone better, let ply tank too, use quad mag torp instead of quint

give them augments as well if you can, and eva instead of manjuu elite on anchorage

maybe an EU fighter on indep too, flapjack is good

no wyvern at all?

[haughty skiff]

figured ; just copy + pasted some old auto w14

i have agir, guam, brest, ect

i have like 0 opsi gear my ass was lazy

[vivid nebula]

Soooo i did a thing and I would like to ask how usable is she in this state?

[wind hazel]

maybe can buy breguet from core shop if you have spare core

[modern aurora]

bump

[vivid nebula]

Fate sim 0

[haughty skiff]

oh shit i didnt know it was in core

[wind hazel]

maybe easier to post what you have in a thread

[haughty skiff]

i also can get second hiden gun but that seems useless for w14 / w15 clear and more for opsi

i have like early pr6 drop meta gear LMAO

[wind hazel]

hind gun is better than that gold gun on anchorage

[wind hazel]

less damage, useable but you want fs5 eventually

[vivid nebula]

I can probably coin her prints up to that point

I am doing massive PR catchup and I am making steady progress

[wind hazel]

sure, can just take it slow, no need to rush

[haughty skiff]

any recommendations for replacing laffey 2 + aa guns ? i dont have anything gear lab so i cant upgrade to 155 kais

[wind hazel]

unless you wanna rush harbiter that you havent beat

[wind hazel]

o that's laffey2?

[wind hazel]

let's do this

open thread and we'll see what options you have

[haughty skiff]

yeah laffey 2 isnt on teambuilder for some reason, the 138.6mm is also UR

[wind hazel]

https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/ updated one

[haughty skiff]

tyty ; ill open a thread on this rq

Cursed W14 Teambuilding

[wind oxide]

what the retro item converts to again?

[wind hazel]

coin

[wind oxide]

how much

[wind hazel]

idk probably 2k as usual

[whole crypt]

also a trophy item in your depot

[tribal storm]

is noshiro a decent tank still or should i look into something else for mobbing

[whole crypt]

noshiro might work for 14 but otherwise she'll fold for high difficulty fights

[molten zinc]

If you force her she can main tank W14 but W15 is way too much and there're better option anyway

[shell willow]

do we have info on next meta showdown ship yet?

[tawdry maple]

I assume it's not worth raising a second eldridge?

[wind hazel]

no, you can't retro 2nd one either way

[slim dome]

idk why since i can handle all of the other top level dailies, but even my boss fleet with min level 122 ships dies SO FAST on the lv95 escort cargo

(NJ, Zwei, Enty, Minneapolis, Saint Louis, Helena)

[wind hazel]

have you tried... evading

this is the torpedo one right?

[slim dome]

yeah

[wind hazel]

go manual, evade 60s, win

[tawdry maple]

isn't that the one you're forced to dodge?

[slim dome]

even when i take manual control they still just fire so many torps

[wind hazel]

there's empty spot where they dont fire as much

[tawdry maple]

CV screen clear?

[ivory pawn]

Equip anti-torp bulges, try to blow some up to give you more space.

[wind hazel]

forgor if that works i just evaded

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9Dead61mRk

[quaint tapir]

well bbs don't help at all on the evade daily, swap to 3 cvls with fast load times

your backline exists purely to screen clear in that daily

[slim dome]

oh yeah uni definitely helped, managed to clear it this time in manual

[tawdry maple]

It was supposed to be manual anyways, so

[slim dome]

...yea i got used to auto from the level 70

[tawdry maple]

everyone's doing auto, just not for some of the challange stages

[red hawk]

is Saint Louis useable at Fate Sim 4

[hollow gust]

Argubly benefits more from her augment then fate sim

[red hawk]

I have it

Just working on getting her levelled

[hollow gust]

Either way she is a solid ship but she is still a anti light specialist

[red hawk]

how durable is she compared to say, portland?

[onyx flame]

wait for opsi, if say all your fleet got low resolve, if you defeat one enemy does all the fleets low resolve get cleared?

[hollow gust]

Less durable

[tardy trench]

how do i get more exp data pack ? i want to lvl up some ships but cant find where to get those exp

I heard there will be UR event coming up soon, is it better to start saving up money from now even though it overcaps the limit, or keep it near the limit just enough to collect the money from the merchant? I can't collect from the merchant HQ and it feels like a waste 💀

i have about 90k rn, my cap is ~60k

[oblique valley]

is there no other way? mine are all levelled somehow

[ivory pawn]

Do you really need that many level 30 cats?

[oblique valley]

that's why i wanna get rid of them..

[past beacon]

On average, how long does it take to get 700 UR blueprint?

Through research

[rain vine]

i think 5-6 months?
depends on how lucky you are with researches

[sweet delta]

Why 700?

The DRs who have fate sim are all coinable and shouldn't be season-focused on

[past beacon]

I'm planning to build Nakhimov

[rain vine]

you only need 513 for dev 30
you can get the 215 for fate sim over time, as DRs get fate sims very slowly

[last crane]

Hi, i just oathed a lvl125 ship. Is there a way to boost her affinity without putting her in combat?

[sweet delta]

Without combat, you would have to wait for the shrine blessing event multiple times, which will take many years to get her to 200

[last crane]

Oh i see, ty.

[low juniper]

Does Kearsarge have FS?

[rain night]

is jintsuu a good elite?

[sweet delta]

With retrofit, she is one of the better pure torp ships, but pure torp fleets aren't good for most content

[rain night]

ok ill just retire then i already have enough torp

[cosmic osprey]

i got purple z1 and i was wondering if i should keep her or retire her

[stark quiver]

Jintsuu is boss drop
Just keep her

[cosmic osprey]

is tha her name

ill keep her

[robust nymph]

how lol

[stone sluice]

Grind the more coins you can (you gotta spend your oil on sorties anyway). Going over the cap is not a waste when it comes to coins. It’s bad if you reach the oil cap.

[stuck imp]

alright thanks

[tribal storm]

when researching i just wanna do cognitions right

[cosmic osprey]

which one out of these should i use on my helena

or one of thesse ships

is FS for avp important?

[strong tartan]

it guarantees her freeze so yes

[tribal storm]

DRs are fine without fate sim right

just need dev 30

[left cedar]

Haky is quite a improvment
FdG helps and can be coined, so yeah u should do

Azuma and Drake whatever, its gud to have but u not going to use them in meta Fleets or strong setups (not like u going to use FdG and haky in meta anyway)

[crystal juniper]

is there any where i can find the formula on how evasion affects the ehp of the ship, im trying to figure out ehp values and cant seem to find a formula

[robust nymph]

i can delay this to the 1st right? weekly reset is after

[left cedar]

on monday at 00:00 server time (somewhere near San Fracisco i guess) this resets, so u can hold up till sunday

[sweet delta]

/wiki damage calc

[odd root]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Damage_Calculations

[sweet delta]

Apply the damage formula with enemy as attacker and your ship as defender

[forest palm]

since September 1st is Monday, gonna say no

[robust nymph]

i thought it was on tuesday the reset? ugh so many games with different resets

so i have to accept it now right? (just to be sure)

[harsh gust]

the monthly reset is whenever the 1st of any month starts by server timezone (UTC-7)
which in this case would be monday cos that's the 1st

so yes, you wouldn't be able to claim it after monthly reset

[forest palm]

weekly reset is gonna be in 83 hours from now, which is September 1st 12:00 AM PST ~ 3:00 AM EST

normally what you're suggesting would work had this landed on any other day of the week

[robust nymph]

very unfortunate, i will be away 2 entire weeks that i go to japan next month ;w; not sure ill be able to get everything

cause im ont gonna bother trying to play on phone lol

[tranquil crescent]

do i use UR Bulins on Aslace cuz shes like, limited?

[eternal basalt]

You could, but wait for JP stream the 6th

[forest palm]

hold off till the next UR in two weeks

[tranquil crescent]

next UR?

theres a new ship coming?

[eternal basalt]

Of course, new event every month

[tranquil crescent]

also i got 1 shinano dupe as well, so i could get shinano to FLB

[forest palm]

well we know where it lands cause of the patch notes

not the inferior English ones

[tranquil crescent]

so idk if i should use Bulins on Aslace or MLB Shinano

[forest palm]

just wait out the 2 weeks there's a new UR coming

[cosmic osprey]

btw what is excercise game mode I havent tried it, I was asking cause is part of the dailies

[eternal basalt]

Event the 11th

[tranquil crescent]

guh but like, max shinano

[eternal basalt]

pvp

[tranquil crescent]

is the new ship gonna be like meta or smth 😭

[forest palm]

it's PvP, a joke of a PvP mode mind you

[cosmic osprey]

oh pvp damn i need to do it or else i cant get the reward for completing all daily

[cosmic osprey]

really, is it that bad

[eternal basalt]

We don't know, but JP has good odds for yes

[cosmic osprey]

is pvp ranked or u can face any teams

[tranquil crescent]

better than my pookie aslace?

[eternal basalt]

Lion already powercreeped her

[tranquil crescent]

who's lion

[cosmic osprey]

just wondering when i summon on the ur banner do i stop after get 1 copy or go to pity?

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Lion

[eternal basalt]

Get all from banner as usual... afterwards there is Tempesta and collab, not much reason to hold (well, unless you want Unzen)

[tranquil crescent]

bro i feel like i should just make a new account, cuz ive made so many mistakes

😒

[eternal basalt]

Unless you wasted gems no reason to reroll

[cosmic osprey]

wait theres 2 banner releasing or is the temepsta collab are later on

[tranquil crescent]

ive spent so many gems on coins and pulls

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see, is so hard to get cubes for me

[eternal basalt]

Tempesta october, collab november, 2 UR december

[tranquil crescent]

no dock space, no depot space

just everything on rolls

[rain vine]

depot space is useless anyways

[vale spindle]

Stop after one copy

[tranquil crescent]

well i got no dock space

[eternal basalt]

Yeah, then you might want to restart

[rain vine]

just start on a new server

[tranquil crescent]

my account is like so damn old, and ive spent at least like 20€ on it

[vale spindle]

only go for hard pity if you are really close to it cause extra bulin saving is nice otherwise don't

[tranquil crescent]

maybe more

[cosmic osprey]

i also made that mistake by spending gems on cubes but luckily for me i didnt progress far so i made a new acc

[stark quiver]

How much progress is in the acccount

[tranquil crescent]

chap 10

[eternal basalt]

Then it's not worth it, if you can spend there was just the x2 return

[stark quiver]

I wouldn’t restart the account

[tranquil crescent]

i cant, im broke asf

[stark quiver]

Also if you think you did bad
60% of my f2p gems went into those in sortie ship repairs and 40% into rings

[cosmic osprey]

oh really damn. R u still on the same acc

[forest palm]

just be a filthy leviathan in AL

[cosmic osprey]

how much free gems do u get in total again

rn i have 2.3k saved

[stark quiver]

Yea

[cosmic osprey]

are u high level?

[stark quiver]

Is 140 high

[tranquil crescent]

ive spent it on gold, skins, worship cubes, and rings

[cosmic osprey]

omg i thought the max is 100 😭

[stark quiver]

Don’t worry cuz I wallet warrior my way into repairing my account

[cosmic osprey]

im thinking of spending few bucks on this game i might get the lvl 70 and the 30 day pass

[stark quiver]

Lvl 70 pack good
Idk abt the pass might be better off buying 2x gems

[tranquil crescent]

also im like lvl 73

[glossy granite]

is JN anni on mid or end september?

[forest palm]

I think most players kind of hit a wall at Lv 140, pretty sure the average is like 140 ~ 155 at the top end

[cosmic osprey]

what level are u taz ?

[forest palm]

Lv 153

[tranquil crescent]

if i buy gems, what do i get?

[cosmic osprey]

omg lvl 153 that is crazy too. Are you f2p or a light spender

[tranquil crescent]

whale

[forest palm]

[glossy granite]

Also have you been using the gems to buy skins instead of Dock space

or im tweaking

[cosmic osprey]

i might spend 20 and get the x2 gems and lvl 70. Even though im level 50 but u get 200 purple books so might as well

[tranquil crescent]

no i haven't been

[cosmic osprey]

yo are they all ur at the top line

[glossy granite]

Nah

Only those marked 4

[tranquil crescent]

i have two shinano skins

[glossy granite]

That you bought

[tranquil crescent]

also they're all oathed

[stoic flicker]

hello! (possibly) returning player here, how are dailies nowadays? are they faster? what about events? and the Operation Siren or whatever with map split into pieces, have they improved that?

[cosmic osprey]

what about the rainbow card unit in the picture

[tranquil crescent]

peter, run whilst you still can

[glossy granite]

URs have 6 stars on them, not 5

[cosmic osprey]

oh but dont units get star when u lb them?

[strong tartan]

yes

[stark quiver]

Books are eh really normal leveling does a lot
20 levels might be easily farmable for you

[tranquil crescent]

@forest palm if i buy gems, what do i get?

[glossy granite]

Yes but if they are UR they are 6 stars, SRs are 5

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see, so i should just get the 20 x2 gem pack

[stark quiver]

Probably
The pack does give you some decent gear but nothing tech boxes can’t do

[strong tartan]

wdym by faster dailies

[cosmic osprey]

did u buy the pack now to show me ?

[stark quiver]

No
That’s was a while ago, I bought it to instant 125 a ship lol

[stoic flicker]

idk QoL like sweeps

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see

i see what u mean all the books u got are almost gone. You have 7 ur that is insane

[glossy granite]

Alpha has way more

[stark quiver]

Oh those weee the ones that were shown
I have every UR in game

[cosmic osprey]

no way can i see please

[strong tartan]

you could say so

[haughty skiff]

dock space >>>> oath rings (either waifu or meta, whatever you care about)

you're always gonna want dock space and you said that it's something you lack

[cosmic osprey]

how much dock space do we get normally

[haughty skiff]

like for free ?

[strong tartan]

10 for each expansion

[cosmic osprey]

yes

[stark quiver]

+some dupes but

[haughty skiff]

oh, yeah it's 10 per expansion

[strong tartan]

Universal B

[stark quiver]

And tbh every UR in game is easily obtainable if you are resource smart

[glossy granite]

Dang im cooked

[cosmic osprey]

Massive respect to you g !!! Hopeful in my next life i can get all the UR 😭

[forest palm]

not having Laffey II is baffling

[glossy granite]

Not having soyuz, alsace, amagi, musashi and unzen/laffey/guam is a huge blow lol

[haughty skiff]

i took a 2 'n a half year break so i'll be backtracking for collection, but you for-sure don't need to spend to obtain them all

[strong tartan]

you can live without a Guam

[eternal basalt]

Guam/Laffey 2 rerun early next year

[cosmic osprey]

what is the best UR currently in the game

[haughty skiff]

not cooked but for sure not hard meta

[strong tartan]

for

[glossy granite]

Yea ik

[eternal basalt]

Lion

[glossy granite]

You are not even close cooked, i am cooked 😭

[haughty skiff]

Lion > Alasce >> Mushashi

[eternal basalt]

PS. table does not include retrofits

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see, now I want them 😭

[haughty skiff]

imo pick up Shimakaze and it isn't too bad ; Vanguard is also generally good as you have Lion but lack Alasce

[strong tartan]

skip Shima she's not worth it over unzen who should be rerunning soon anyway

[glossy granite]

Or just wait for musashi perma ig, im at like 50/400

[cosmic osprey]

what is the level cap for account level ?

[haughty skiff]

Vanguard is great as a sub-in if you lack a solid duo for a BB

[eternal basalt]

200

But like, there is only 1 JP I know is 160+ last year, we'll see this year

[glossy granite]

So not having laffey 2 is the biggest blow for me 🤔

[haughty skiff]

I'm betting it'll be Musashi Perma, Unzen rerun and new JP UR for this upcoming JP Ani

[strong tartan]

no it's Alsace

[cosmic osprey]

oh wow so no one is 200 😭

[forest palm]

is there even a Lv 190+ on JP?

[stark quiver]

Someone is 198 on cn

[forest palm]

that's what I meant

[glossy granite]

Ngl for someone who took a 2 year old break, you seem pretty tapped in

[tranquil crescent]

so how many times can i buy dock space

[haughty skiff]

Alsace is for-sure a bigger blow but so is Laffey II ; I know Fritz is a great sub-in DPS CV for mixed fleets (works w/ Lion), so thats also rough

[stark quiver]

Up to 4000 space

[eternal basalt]

Wait sept 6, definitely not a rerun and war archive... just the event...

[haughty skiff]

I coached AL before so i'm only a little rusty

[haughty skiff]

There's no limit but there's no point going over like 1K

[eternal basalt]

And... THE ISLAND (TM)

[glossy granite]

Since you took years break, do you still advise the 2-1 method 🔥

[haughty skiff]

Why wouldn't it be ? We had Mushi rerun and Unzen event back-to-back with Unzen release

[strong tartan]

with oil cap it's pointless

[haughty skiff]

I'm not THAT old lmao ; i stopped playing long after oil caps

[tranquil crescent]

to get to 1k spaces, youd need to spend like 18000 gems

[glossy granite]

Just testing ahahaha

[eternal basalt]

Dunno when they will happen, just NOT during the event time

[cosmic osprey]

my penny is at lvl 80 do i max limit break her or hold off on it and use the mats on someone later on that can replace her

[haughty skiff]

Realistically just get like + 20 - 30 imo

[glossy granite]

Ye your pretty good and in your case, missing out on Lion is def a blow for you at least

[eternal basalt]

180th birthday: BOOM

[tranquil crescent]

no i did the math

[glossy granite]

If only you came back like 4 or 3 months ago

[tranquil crescent]

200 for 10, 2000 for 100, 20000 for 1000

[eternal basalt]

It gets more expsive after 2000

[forest palm]

100 gems more, not too bad

[cosmic osprey]

wdyt guys

[tranquil crescent]

well fuck

[haughty skiff]

I wouldn't be surprised; I'm expecting something big, likely a Yamato / Nagato / Blueprint BB for this JP Anni due to the powercreep pushing Mush just out of her niches

Not expecting Yamato herself but something to rival Lion / Alasce comp

[haughty skiff]

Came back like earlier today, kinda sad i missed EN Anni and won't have Essex Retro

[eternal basalt]

We're getting BP catch-up next week

[haughty skiff]

You missed my point, i was referring to the actual JP Anni UR

[eternal basalt]

That wont require Blueprints

[haughty skiff]

Blueprint Ship is referring to the theoritical ships that AL adds but didn't technically exist, like Lion

[glossy granite]

Ik what its like am a 2020 player who only really really started to play in Dec 2024 and thats how i felt when i missed URs from my favorite factions (BisZwei and Soyuz, Musashi rerun aswell) b

[haughty skiff]

Ouch, 4 Year gap is rough

[cosmic osprey]

is it worth me max lb Pennsylvania or hold off from it?

[eternal basalt]

It refers to World of Warship collab ships

You mean Paper Ship

[haughty skiff]

Hassat i know PR Blueprint ships, ect.. I don't know the right term / term you know

Yeah, paper ship

[haughty skiff]

Are you like really new ?

[cosmic osprey]

i started 3 days ago

[haughty skiff]

If you want to open a thread so the slowmo isn't in effect, i can help you out a bit

[cosmic osprey]

Are you sure idk have a lot of stuff to add in the thread

[haughty skiff]

It's faster then yapping with a slowmo anyway and it can't really hurt tbh

[stark quiver]

Follow noobie guide and you will be fine

[glossy granite]

Not really a 4 year gap, i played during Shinano and NJ when they first came out and 2nd anni but i played twice a year simply cuz i was very braindead and in last dec finally my brain clicked lol. And you returned earlier today? At least your on time for Eldridge retrofit rerun

I forgot how good she is

Oh yea shes really meta, my acc needs vanguards

[cosmic osprey]

is fine for now maybe later i can make a thread, Rn i only have questions on what to do. My acc level is 43 so far

[haughty skiff]

Mood; I remember popping in briefly to grab Alasce since i saw the content and knew she'd be busted, aside from that i haven't checked in much

Eldridge Retro seems insanely good for META Showdown by the looks ofit

I can't advise you on what to do if i don't know the state of your account

There's for-sure some newbie guides as mentioned above if you want to figure it out yourself

[glossy granite]

Shes meta in everything basically, also the fact that i never uninstalled azur lane and even when i transfer my phone data shows that there was potential lol

[cosmic osprey]

i was wondering what blue prints after q shall i prioritise

[glossy granite]

q?

[eternal basalt]

d

[haughty skiff]

There's a image in here that summarizes it like super-well, hold on

[cosmic osprey]

in the research thing

[glossy granite]

Didnt it say 2 quests a day but its 1 quest? Or am i reading it wrong

Oh it is 1

[eternal basalt]

It is 2 quests a day... IF you mean the event

[glossy granite]

Yea i took it wrong

[spring onyx]

When I get a ship to 120 should I instantly being starting it to 125?

[eternal basalt]

If it's UR, yes. Otherwise, ask

[cosmic osprey]

i have a h one is it worth me to spend 3 cubes, i have 208 cubes

[glossy granite]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit?gid=0#gid=0 I do like this tier list, maybe it can help you catch up a bit

[haughty skiff]

Rainbow >>> H > D (Ship BPs)
Rainbow >>> Q > G (Gear)
Rainbow >>> Q > D / G (Mixed / 'I-don't-want-to-spend-cubs')

[haughty skiff]

Read the image, it tells you

[cosmic osprey]

yh it says above 400 recommended 😭

[glossy granite]

208? You need to save up for JN UR event

[eternal basalt]

Like, required, IJN Anni is coming

[haughty skiff]

Yeah i've gone through it a fair bit ; I'm not really behind in a meaningful way imo

Would've been nice to have Essex Retro but i can run early 2025 Meta comps and be fine by the looks of it

[haughty skiff]

Exactly, so is 208 less then 400 ?

[glossy granite]

Nononono, if you reverse it becomes 802 cubes which means he has enough

[cosmic osprey]

yes silly me 😭 . i got bit excited that i had it so i didnt read it lol

[haughty skiff]

Also you can just likely save up and get whatever JP Anni tosses, it should be good

IMO it has to be a backliner or just something for Mush to become meta again

[spring onyx]

I just got to 120 for the first time on Saratoga

[eternal basalt]

It tosses nothing, EN tossed some though

[haughty skiff]

I don't think they're dropping Yamato & Lion in the same year so i think it'll be something from Nagato or a Papership i don't know exists

I don't think they're gonna make JP Anni bad

[glossy granite]

Have they ever tho

[eternal basalt]

Hmm, retro'd it could work

[haughty skiff]

I'm betting on it being something for Musashi

[glossy granite]

Im still butthurt over not having Musashi so i hope at least something to cope with

[haughty skiff]

Just something to buff her to be comparable / better then Mecklen at Heavy bossing

[eternal basalt]

It's a new ship... Musashi gets nothing

[glossy granite]

Oh shit i forgot, my IJN tech is absolutely shocking 😭 I still need to get Hakuryuu, i have every major tech minimum 1K if not 2K on some

[haughty skiff]

I didn't know i had to clarify that the something will be a ship, i thought that was obvious

[cosmic osprey]

is this a sold fleet for my level. I got lucky and got dupes of few characters making it easier for me to mlb. Rn Im tryan save to mlb unicorn but i dont think i will mlb penny

im also 7 medals away to get 80

[haughty skiff]

Like somesort of IJN-powercreep Plymouth / IJN BB buff or debuffer

[haughty skiff]

I mean this is fine for a beginner; you should prioritize Unicorn over Penny

What hulls are in your Medal exchange ?

[glossy granite]

It will prob be a Battleship

[haughty skiff]

It's either BB or somesort of DD / CL Buffer or Debuffer for IJN BBs that powercreeps Plymouth for IJN specifically, that's my two guesses

[cosmic osprey]

oh lemme show u g

[glossy granite]

Will it be better than prime world 15-4 retrofit Portland 🤔

[cosmic osprey]

is one character and is u-96

[haughty skiff]

I don't know but i don't see what else they can add imo

They cant pull Yamato and Lion in one year

[cosmic osprey]

is u-96 a good character to pick with medals

[haughty skiff]

what do you have here ?

[muted crescent]

You won’t need submarines for a WHILE

[glossy granite]

Take a screenshot and show us the pool

[cosmic osprey]

ok but it shows one

[haughty skiff]

You for-sure don't need a Sub as a beginner

[muted crescent]

take Sirius if you really want from the CL pool but no need to buy subs right now

[haughty skiff]

just take a screenshot and send it

[glossy granite]

Dont buy, show the other one

[cosmic osprey]

i picked san diego with my previous 80 medals

[muted crescent]

Oh so u already have San Diego

[glossy granite]

YOu havent bought Specialized core?

[muted crescent]

Acc fair enough I forgot there was Sandy in there

[haughty skiff]

okay so the answer is you already bought a medal SSR and only have SS left, gotcha

[cosmic osprey]

yes sorry

[haughty skiff]

Have you touched the Guild shop yet >

[glossy granite]

They should buy that specialized core asap

[cosmic osprey]

yes i bought few of my starter fleet there

[muted crescent]

I assume you have 80 medals right now?

[glossy granite]

Also this is off topic but pls uninstall Mcafee from your computer 😭

[cosmic osprey]

i have 73 im close to it

[cosmic osprey]

oh yh i need to do that i always forget to😭

[muted crescent]

cool. No need for U-96 for now, just get spec cores

[haughty skiff]

Oh okay then just continue with campaign; ignore Penny as she's getting replaced the instant you pull like anything better

Save your medals and wait for the weekly reset in 4 days

[muted crescent]

Bro delete that shit 😭
that shit’s worse than the default Windows one 😭

[cosmic osprey]

oh lol ima do it now

[haughty skiff]

They're brand new, they don't need to buy Spec Cores ?

[muted crescent]

what else are they gonna buy with medals?

[cosmic osprey]

wait shall i pick the specialised core or just save and then save for new chracter when it refresh

[glossy granite]

I would pick specialised core imo

[muted crescent]

they don’t need retro bps cuz u can get them as 3 star rewards at that lvl

[haughty skiff]

A BB that isnt Penny ; Like literally anything else ?

[muted crescent]

that’s Guild shop no?

[cosmic osprey]

yh i need someone better than her soon

[muted crescent]

I mean Sep is coming up he can wait for the refresh

[cosmic osprey]

i have 979 of them already so should i still get them specail core

[glossy granite]

You buy UR bullins to max URs with specialized core

Yes

[cosmic osprey]

oh i see,

[muted crescent]

That, but he should wait for Sep to roll around

[eternal basalt]

They need MORE spec cores, perma + the new ones + the reruns... with 4 oin December/January

[haughty skiff]

Guild shop doesn't have gold BB and at-best Elite, he doesn't have any tokens left i don't think

They can invest into Spec Cores but i dont think it'll make an effective difference for them due to being brand new, as it'll take the same amount of time anyway to get the UR Bulins ?

[cosmic osprey]

oh ok i will save

[haughty skiff]

Unless Medal Specs are independent of the 5K monthly limit ?

[cosmic osprey]

i have 3195 guild medals

[eternal basalt]

Cores will reset, buy them this month

[haughty skiff]

Okay then yeah spec cores makes sense if they're independent of the monthly spec limit
