[wind hazel]

yes

[fluid umbra]

Nice

[wind hazel]

it's a tad overkill for w12...

[fluid umbra]

Fairrr, I don't really need to but I maxed essex anyway and I'm getting bored of enty so

[wind hazel]

i mean everything on this fleet

all capped at 125, multiple UR w12 is so dead

[random rain]

hello. i'm trying to use the "budget boss" fleet for 14-4 (the one with fdg as a flagship) to auto in safe but my fdg keeps dying randomly. putting some cats improves her chances of survival, but the risk of losing the fight is still there. do I just need to increase fleet tech, or do I just slap fdg with some ur gear so she could survive? thanks!

[rapid grail]

drop the gear and fleet she's in

[random rain]

the one from the w14 brief guide; it works quite well, just trying to avoid the chances of her dying randomly

[neon ice]

heya , i'm looking for some ideas to bring my opsi fleets closer to the current "meta"

anti - medium , heavy , light

[crimson glacier]

but can you even lose anyway with your current fleets

[neon ice]

rarely but i want to stay up to date

light fleet for sure is out of meta

[crimson glacier]

light fleet rarely ever matters

[wind hazel]

soyuz nakh fritz for light med

your bb and cv still work

[crimson glacier]

i dont remember when was the last time i used light fleet

[wind hazel]

kick soyuz off, put in lion

[crimson glacier]

its just 99% mob fleet and if it doesnt kill some bosses then just finish with carrier and thats it

[wind hazel]

shove trafalgar in somewhere if you want. whether you wanna keep agir helena or not, up to preference

[neon ice]

something like this ?

[knotty jolt]

I always find it interesting how some old ass ships can still find places in the meta due to how weird their skill is like aurora for light armor

[crimson glacier]

like i dont think im up to date at all but nothing ever stops me anyway

[wind hazel]

sorta. i usually just make 2 bossing fleets, that's it

[crimson glacier]

probably should use lion somewhere since ppl hype her up

[neon ice]

i like to have boss fleets for all 3 armor types since i have nothing else to do xD

[wind hazel]

kinda pointless to make 3 fleet for 3 armour, since soyna fleet can take care of light med, and bb covers all 3

most if not all bosses in opsi die in 1 team if you gear those 2 fleet properly

[crimson glacier]

like only time i need to use something else than mob fleet is harbiter and some unlucky c6 abyssals

still does more than half of harbiter anyway with mob

oh right arent ppl starting to get the new research stuff maxed now too, are they any good

[wind hazel]

we're only 2 months in...

meck and her gun are good

[crimson glacier]

idk i got the prs to 30

[wind hazel]

do you look at PR ships

[crimson glacier]

im always open for new tech

[wind hazel]

sadly PR8s suckballz

[crimson glacier]

lol alright

fits their design

[strange sphinx]

Opsi Boss armor?

[wind hazel]

just like my mom, heavy

[knotty jolt]

[strange sphinx]

also Dev 29 ply can be used or no?

[wind hazel]

can work as bb buffer, can tank. dmg still wants dev30

surely you can dev30 her soon

[strange sphinx]

need only 56 more

[wind hazel]

just use blanks, can use DR6 ones too

[strange sphinx]

but my luck in Research is Abysmal

[strange sphinx]

Assuming I have blanks

[slow fox]

@viscid swift

Position-dependent damage ratio for the CA Arbiter looks to be 0.52/0.22/0.26

[noble pawn]

will get you 50x 20 AP Box

[slow fox]

For reference, BB Arbiter is 0.50/0.23/0.27

[desert trellis]

hi how can i beat this month's challenge mode boss helena hard mode, my dmg is not sufficient enuf to kill her in time

[knotty jolt]

For one show us your setup cause hard to help if we don't know what we're working with

[knotty jolt]

What's their gear like

[desert trellis]

shd i use other characters first

[knotty jolt]

I mean the ships are usable but if their gear aren't proper then it doesn't matter what ships you are using

[desert trellis]

right

[knotty jolt]

Like I see people in meta fights vs kawakaze use AP which does nothing vs light armor

[spark patio]

Can we produce t2 expbook?

[knotty jolt]

Sadly no

[knotty jolt]

I'm guessing only one HVAR hellcat otherwise more would be better. Second you could opt to switch out sandy with Aurora to make sure your main fleets airstrikes hit more consistently. And lastly use the French torpedoes from the gear lab

Normal toros have reduced damage vs light armor while the French ones are reverse having poor heavy armor damage but boosted light armor damage

[desert trellis]

ye i only got 1 hvar hellcat, nd letme see if i even hac aurora

[knotty jolt]

You should as she is an elite ship

If you really wanna min max damage you could drop out a vanguard for Helena but that's just a suggestion.

radar scan forever powerful

[desert trellis]

i dun hav vanguard the ship

[knotty jolt]

I mean a ship in your vanguard slots

[desert trellis]

oh ye sure i dun mind droppin 1 slot

wat that does?

[knotty jolt]

Helena? She has radar scan increasing damage enemies take by 40% as it's a debuff on the enemy vs a buff on your ships it's boost is multiplicative. It's only problem is it's inconsistency

[desert trellis]

naw it was never a issue bothering me that my fleet's taking dmg

its that my fleet isnt doin enuf dmg, and that i could never finish her in time

[knotty jolt]

Also ya could squeeze a small bit more on independence by giving her the Hit boosting AA guns

[knotty jolt]

Oh I mean you could bring your own Helena to battle to boost your damage with your own radar scans

[desert trellis]

norm or meta

[knotty jolt]

Helena has been a meta ship for boss battles cause of radar scan boosting your damage immensely

Normal Helena has the radar scan

[desert trellis]

GREAT, WILL DO

[knotty jolt]

Meta faction ships are majority of the time not worth it

[desert trellis]

yeah, right

i still fully deved helena meta so y not if shes slightly better than norm helena in this case, if not naw

[knotty jolt]

Normal is better

[desert trellis]

ima swap out sandy w/ helena

[knotty jolt]

40% damage vulnerability is a huge boost in damage and literally no other ship has such power

All other self damage boosts cap around 15%

And even debuffs cap around the same amount

[desert trellis]

ima try it out

[knotty jolt]

Good luck

[turbid dawn]

I was just looking into doing the CM for this month, which are the best 2 DDGs nowadays, I have no idea? 3rd ship I'm gonna use Aurora

[desert trellis]

AHHHHHHHHHH AM ALRDY OUT OF MY SCHEDULED TIME

i dun hav enuf dmg

[knotty jolt]

Rip

[desert trellis]

guess i shd skip this month

[knotty jolt]

Ya could try dropping independence for Lion

Equip her with NJ gun too

[desert trellis]

not the lion gun?

[knotty jolt]

I mean if ya got it ye

[desert trellis]

ye

[desert trellis]

this gud enuf?

[knotty jolt]

Do you have any accuracy boosting AA guns?

[desert trellis]

uhhhh for example?

[knotty jolt]

Like the twin 40mm staag bofors

Ya can craft them in the gear lab if you must

[desert trellis]

which:

[knotty jolt]

The ones mori shows

[wind hazel]

remove the staag from sandiego, helena

[desert trellis]

okie, shd i swap out the shell also

[knotty jolt]

The shell is fine

[desert trellis]

i can get another 1 if its better

[knotty jolt]

Ya good as is

[desert trellis]

which ships shd i put em on

[forest palm]

give Sandy the Twin 113 btw

[wind hazel]

your bb, your cvl

[desert trellis]

ight

[wind hazel]

why give sandy 113 when there's sextuple

[knotty jolt]

I mean idk what's going through them but currently we trying the monthly battle vs Helena

[desert trellis]

so uh i gib sandt sextuple?

[wind hazel]

i came back to my BB fleet using 9mins to defeat it, idk what went wrong LOL

[wind hazel]

usually yes, but challenge mode it doesn't matter

[forest palm]

I haven't bothered with CMs after the first go round

[wind hazel]

not sure if sandy is good for this CM either

[desert trellis]

[knotty jolt]

That's why I suggested they drop her for something like aurora or Helena

[wind hazel]

z52 trafalgar helena maybe

[forest palm]

could always throw Eldridge in there somewhere

[wind hazel]

eldridge is useless this time

[knotty jolt]

I mean they mentioned they have no trouble surviving

It's just they run out of time due to lack of damage

[warped acorn]

how does armor break works

[knotty jolt]

It means you deal more damage

[warped acorn]

well do they make u deal 2x dmg all armor type to the opponent

[forest palm]

most Armor Break doesn't stack unless it's a unique type, so anything that applies Amor Break most often refreshes it

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 i read suchi's cm for helena and im lost

[knotty jolt]

Armor break is a debuff that boosts damage by the stated amount only the highest value armor break takes precedent

[warped acorn]

oh damn cuz ma agir had that one too

[knotty jolt]

Tenrai has an 8% boost

[forest palm]

using Agir for armor break is a good luagh

[warped acorn]

uh huh

[forest palm]

general armor break is always 8%

[knotty jolt]

Agir also has an 8% boost as such all they'll do is refresh the duration of each other

[forest palm]

or rather generic armor break

[warped acorn]

[knotty jolt]

Fei yun, New Jersey, and voroshilov have 5% armor breaks and as such they won't take precedent or stack if they are applied if an 8% is already in effect

[forest palm]

AL works of an ID based system, a lot of ships with Armor Break use the generic ID for Armor Break, there are some with Unique IDs that stack rather than just refresh it

[warped acorn]

dang, ig so additional 8% dmg the opponent takes from all source of dmg?

[knotty jolt]

Not really from the wiki it says FP damage

[warped acorn]

oh so fp only, guess better than nothing, thanks!

[desert trellis]

YOOOOOOOOOO I FINALLY BEAT IT

I KEEP USING SHIMA'S TORP TO BAIT HER THREAT DETECT, THEN RIGHT AFTER THAT I SPAM MY LION ND AIRCRAFTS

[knotty jolt]

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

[desert trellis]

thx lots man

Is there a priority for the OpSi vouchers shop?

And should I get the Data Loggers orrrr..?

[wind hazel]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/shop_priority/#voucher

[noble pawn]

Quality Tuning is good?

Nevermind lol

[wind hazel]

optional

skip if low voucher

[noble pawn]

I only have 10k

[agile patrol]

but what about the opsi data logger
sacrifice 5000 oils and unlock everything...
or sacrifice nothing and clear everything manually... 🤔

[noble pawn]

you can get 1000 AP so no loss to be honest

[knotty jolt]

I buy it occasionally depending if I have to much oil and feeling lazy

It's more a convenience then anything

[stone sluice]

Me too

[agile patrol]

frick it. im not buying it
time to actually play the game

actually.... hmmm...
my oil generator thing is always full

[noble pawn]

your dock your rule

[agile patrol]

i hate that

[noble pawn]

Hella worth it

[agile patrol]

this is gaslighting at its finest
FINEIMBUYINGIT

[turbid dawn]

How the hell do you torp dmg to proc for this CM? My backline isn't firing at all, my DDGs are the only 1 shooting their guns+missiles and she still procs the cannon dmg. I've even tried nerfing the DDG guns into just the 'barrage' guns and I have the same issue

[agile patrol]

kay i think i did it right
I'll buy the rest of the classified files thingies once i clear them

[noble pawn]

buy classified file logger while you're at it easiest UR design gear

[agile patrol]

wth is this new opsi shop UI

[agile patrol]

yaa i bought one already
i need to clear it before i can buy the rest. or so it says

[turbid dawn]

This is what I'm running atm, the only thing I can think of is that the Fritz+Lion barrage are FP based so count towards the 'cannon' dmg and help proc it I really can't think of any other reason

[noble pawn]

You can only buy one more again until you clear the mission

[bright rose]

I just joined azur lane do I just grind story mode now?

[eternal basalt]

Added years ago, but OG shop for first timers

[muted wind]

i'd also suspect that fritz + lion + DDG main guns will outweigh your torpedo damage here

[agile patrol]

waaaaaaaaaaaait
the items never 'expire'? until the end of the month?
i can 100% clear the entire shop?

[wind hazel]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

welcome to zuzulane, read this guide

[muted wind]

the classified loggers never refresh, they are a one-time purchase. everything else resets monthly

[bright rose]

Thanks

[wind hazel]

vouchers are only exchanged at the first day of the month, you won't get more

[agile patrol]

ohcrap i need to clear my files thingies quick then 💔

[agile patrol]

i meant the regular shop
in the other UI, the shop refreshed and you lost whatever u couldnt afford
but now it seems like everything is in one menu

[wind hazel]

the classified file loggers won't be gone

you can buy those whenever you want. the rest are reset

[muted wind]

4k is probably enough to buy the rest of the stuff that resets on month end (minus coins and high efficiency thingies)?

[agile patrol]

ah okay good good

[turbid dawn]

I've given them the +0 AA main guns w/e they're called, the worst DD gun

With +13 rainbow dildos and both +13 SY-1A missiles

[eternal basalt]

That wasn't how the old worked, but you can forget that all in the new

[muted wind]

do the missiles even hit before the first proc? that'd be my other question... though the reload should be fast enough...

[turbid dawn]

They do, I'm trying to get a video by Gyazao but it only does 7s so can't see the whole 'proc phase' which is annoying

[muted wind]

actually, let me throw that same fleet at it so i can see what the timings are

[agile patrol]

-# use ShareX i've been using this for the last year or so and its probably the best screenshotter and mini-video recorder thanks for listening.

[turbid dawn]

6m54s kill. Idk what I was doing wrong

The timings were completley messed up by about 5m though

[wind hazel]

i mean you killed... what's wrong with what

mine took 9min, you should be happy with 6

[muted wind]

i'm assuming you're trying to use the ddgs to trigger torpedo protection on helena, right?

[turbid dawn]

Correct

But no matter what it it was 100% cannon

[muted wind]

... which is... what i got just now

[turbid dawn]

Even if Fritz fired during it and the BBs didn't

Still got cannon

[wind hazel]

did you time your DDG missile?

[turbid dawn]

Yeah they were like 20.08 or something

[cobalt rapids]

ingame ?

[muted wind]

ah, i see the problem, tai yuan fires the missiles too soon, give her less RLD

[bright rose]

Is the banner worth rerolling now?

[cobalt rapids]

ty has a whopping 25% rld buff

[wind hazel]

no, 1 light daily until 11th, we have event then

[cobalt rapids]

this is why we use calc and not ingame numbers

[bright rose]

Can you explain a little bit I don’t really understand ):

[muted wind]

try replacing the oxy torp with some non-RLD buffing gear, though she's probably still too fast then

[wind hazel]

you do a Light build every day until the 11th. we have Ultra Rare event on the 11th, in which you should change from Light build to Event build

doing a Light build will grant you 3 cubes income per day, if you complete all the dailies

[bright rose]

Oh

[knotty jolt]

There's little reason to not dona daily pull cause one of the daily missions is to do one build and it gives back one cube

[uncut adder]

How to delete Private Quarters?
I delete one for example and the game ask to redownload the resources on start. We can't enter the game if we Cancel that request.

[wind hazel]

umi does this work?

[bright rose]

But I accidentally receive all of the oil in the mail and now I have like 5000 extra oil that I can hold

[cobalt rapids]

ty with 0rld tech and non oath and basic ddg missile works
or yk use the other ddgs

[turbid dawn]

I did try asking but no-one answered sadly as I didn't know which the current best DDGs are

I just went with past knowledge

[cobalt rapids]

cc and anshan
fushun is fine aswell but she might be fast aswell but non oath is fine probably
just plug em into calc

[eternal basalt]

Disable in options menu

[cobalt rapids]

probably want some tighter sync

[wind hazel]

i hate essex

[cobalt rapids]

also u need an SG

[wind hazel]

oh ye

[muted wind]

chang chun and fu shun should have the same RLD in combat, difference is that cc will also buff an shan's RLD

[cobalt rapids]

thats fine coz anshan is a slowpoke
on the contrary cc should bring anshan near her so easier rld tech fiddle

[muted wind]

wdym slowpoke, they all have 200 or 201 base RLD

wait, that's level 120, either way, just a few points off, probably not enough to matter here even over a few minutes?

[cobalt rapids]

long syncing 0.Xs matters
depends afterall how long u take so the missiles dont desync from the 6s window

[radiant mesa]

I want to be F2P aside from like any super cheap amazing deals. Is the $5 “Commander level boost” pack with 4 gold Bulins, 200 purple xp books, and a random +6 purple main gun an amazing deal?

[rapid shard]

It was a massive boost for me starting out and you wont get stuck in story due to commander level

[radiant mesa]

K, I’ll grab it.

[knotty jolt]

Only the gold bulins are worth it really the XP books are nice but you can level up really easy anyways

As much of a whale I am those packs tho imo are not worth it

[wind hazel]

the lv70 it provides is really good

[hollow gust]

the 5 dollar pack is about progression, you can rush much faster into content that actually worth grinding

[fiery swan]

does black rock shooter need flag

[hollow gust]

you should flag your main BBs

[fiery swan]

but like there's those high tier BBs like Alsace and such who don't need flag

is BRS barrage one that requires flag to work properly

[hollow gust]

new BBs dont need flag but they should still be flag

[bright rose]

Should I pull on the light build since I lack main force ship?

[hollow gust]

First guide newbie tips

[knotty jolt]

click on that pawprint btw it'll get you a billion gems trust

[copper pine]

what is best comp vs light armor enemy again?

[knotty jolt]

I mean it isn't the "best" but is what I was using for Kawakaze meta fight and she's light armor.
It uses Fritz, Lion, and Zwei for main fleet with eldridge, Z52, and trafalgar for vanguard

[hollow gust]

Easiest to run is nahk Soyuz Lion

[knotty jolt]

you can obviously optimize it further with something like aurora in the vanguard

[copper pine]

i need to rerun jintsuu

since i heard her meta ship is very good on a lot of stuff

[knotty jolt]

my setup can almost get a full one shot clear on kawakaze idk how well it can do vs jintsuu meta tho gl

[copper pine]

is there any substitute of aurora

[hollow gust]

Trafalgar is perfectly fine

[copper pine]

traveler? never heard of her

owh

[knotty jolt]

we love autocorrect

[copper pine]

is fumo and rudder enough to make her... alive

[wind hazel]

how do you sync them

[copper pine]

also i assume 533 improved Quad magnet is not in gear lab?

[wind hazel]

event item

[copper pine]

the normal quad magnet is fine?

[wind hazel]

ye

[copper pine]

also yorkie, kear, alsace is fine? for the main fleet

[hollow gust]

Wdym?

[knotty jolt]

i mean if we're running light armor and you wanna hyper optimize you could run the french torpedoes

[wind hazel]

wdym what, what loadout do you use to sync them

[knotty jolt]

but they're non homing so you'd need to manually shoot to get the most out of them

[copper pine]

im currently like... 2500 away from 25k points for the final jintsuu core

[wind hazel]

alsace look odd one out lol

[copper pine]

was from pilica12's guide

[wind hazel]

[bright rose]

If I don’t have exp data pack do I just grind old stage to level up my ships?

[copper pine]

the one mentioned here

[wind hazel]

if you can use the current kwkz meta fleet, they work for jintsuu. i used it last week to help guildie

[knotty jolt]

yes

[copper pine]

unless this guide is obsolete

[wind hazel]

only 1 way to find out

[knotty jolt]

i mean it looks like it's before lion cause otherwise you'd be using her maingun on a ship

[copper pine]

im currently testing it. but the sucks thing is, i dont have fritz so i can't use the german supremacy backline

[hollow gust]

You can double hvar converging torp and HE guns with shells on your Bb. You have so much rld from tech to adjust the rest

[dusty pier]

the game content of all servers are the same right?

[copper pine]

69% 980k

[wind hazel]

medal shop is different

[copper pine]

oof thats quite bad right?

[wind hazel]

2 shot is 2 shot

[knotty jolt]

to optimize for a oneshot is sorta unnecessary.

[wind hazel]

what...

[copper pine]

i dont have several parts tbh excluding auxilary

[wind hazel]

if you can optimize from 2 shot to 1shot, that is very nice lol

[hollow gust]

no reason that alsace is that low though

[copper pine]

its a 40 oil and like a minute setback to be fair

[knotty jolt]

ye it can be nice but to do so isn't really all that required

[copper pine]

alsace flag?

[wind hazel]

well it saves you time and oil...

[knotty jolt]

I mean you only get 200 logs a day for 2 battles

[wind hazel]

also yes your plymouth is buffing nobody there

[copper pine]

plymouth left most?

[wind hazel]

no, your flag

why is yorktown2 the flag

[hollow gust]

kearsarge should flag there

[copper pine]

kear flag, left alsace right yorkie?

[wind hazel]

left right doesn't matter here i think

[copper pine]

ply as tank or eldridge?

[knotty jolt]

iirc flag should almost never be carrier

[hollow gust]

doesn't matter, jinstuu meta does barley any damage

[wind hazel]

that's not the point here

[copper pine]

good to go?

[wind hazel]

i guess?

[hollow gust]

still dont like double skyraider, its far slower then alsace and others

[copper pine]

last run for that 980k, i think eldridge died at final 5-10 second

1.15 million, 170k improvement could be better if i didn't went hiatus i guess

im still confused about alsace's performance

too low right?

[wind hazel]

what's her loadout?

[knotty jolt]

do you not have lion or someone else?

[copper pine]

i do, lion is better?

[knotty jolt]

Try her instead

[copper pine]

same loadout? mk7 etc

[knotty jolt]

well if you have her maingun that would be better

[copper pine]

lion or kear flag?

[knotty jolt]

either or

just swap alscace out for lion and try it again

[copper pine]

406 mk II is her gun right?

[knotty jolt]

ye

[wind hazel]

inb4 damage drop

[knotty jolt]

i'm not responsible for any loss of damage

[wind hazel]

you are

[knotty jolt]

I mean alsace isn't doing anything much. as she is a buff to other french ships and there's none

[copper pine]

testing it now

[wind hazel]

she gives debuff 12% no?

[knotty jolt]

that's all tho while lion got the perma burn which increase damage recived by 10%

[copper pine]

almost a kill

[knotty jolt]

defo alsace was holding ya back

[wind hazel]

damn

[knotty jolt]

[copper pine]

if i can do that vs jintsuu, kwkz should be easier right?

[knotty jolt]

[wind hazel]

well not really

[knotty jolt]

each meta has gimmicks to them so they're all different

While they might both be light armor jintsuu is a cruiser while kawa is a destroyer

[silk helm]

what has been the hardest meta?

[copper pine]

the question is, is kawakaze meta easier or harder than jintsuu?

[hollow gust]

Jinstuu is far easier

[wind hazel]

grey can you share

[hollow gust]

You can pull off more dumb stuff

[copper pine]

helena meta was hell

[knotty jolt]

idk about hardest but my most hated and annoying to do was either QE or algerie

[copper pine]

to me, its helena meta

[rain vine]

why not just use alsace and lion together?

[copper pine]

the other two is doing 330k+ damage

also, just got 1.4 million, just need 19k damage

[knotty jolt]

i mean cut out the weakest link

[copper pine]

and i got full break for jintsuu meta

btw is it true she is very worth it to max?

[wind hazel]

if you pvp or play EX a lot...

[knotty jolt]

I mean it's a meta so maybe?

most meta faction ships aren't worth it but the few that are still are niche

[hollow gust]

Just double Hvar and HE gun, adjust your rld from tech

[copper pine]

for kirov meta, what do i need?

same with jintsuu?

[knotty jolt]

This is what I ran for kirov meta

gonna do a quick run to check it's damage

ik ik it's weird shush mori

[wind hazel]

IJN vs light is a choice alright

[copper pine]

it kills with that same roster

[knotty jolt]

my setup is bad idk what i was doing back in the day

[copper pine]

that yorktown damage is disgusting jesus

[silk helm]

have u tried using essex instead of lion?

[wind hazel]

i think kirov was the last UVH appearance

[silk helm]

curious what the results would be

[storm olive]

even then, sara can compete with uvh against kirov

[wind hazel]

oh yes it was also the saratoga special lul

[rain night]

what should i do with spare gold now

[wind hazel]

the double tenrai strat was it

[knotty jolt]

btw the entire gimmick of kirov meta fight was she summoned in allies

[storm olive]

and the more of them you kill the more damage kirov takes

[knotty jolt]

i think that is why my setup was so weird to deal with the different enemies

[knotty jolt]

save it

[rain night]

is there a hard cap?

[knotty jolt]

we bouta get a new banner soon best to use it on that

[copper pine]

killed kirov meta with 3 seconds to spare lmao

[storm olive]

600k iirc

[knotty jolt]

there is a soft and hard cap

[rain night]

oh thats high lol thanks

[knotty jolt]

soft cap is whatever it's stated i forget the hard cap for coins

[copper pine]

this time, kear did 510k, yorktown is 487k

[knotty jolt]

oil hard cap is 25k iirc

[silk helm]

how far are you in campaign?

[rain night]

im only at 11-3

more out of just not doing it than not being able to though

how far should i be

[knotty jolt]

I mean 12-4 is a good spot to be in if you don't plan to go all the way

[rain night]

whats at 12-4?

[wind hazel]

more exp, more gold

[knotty jolt]

at 12-4 normal missions can give things like cognitivie chips

[rain night]

alright

[hollow gust]

[knotty jolt]

plus choukai drops on 12-4

[rain night]

is choukai good

[cobalt rapids]

no

[knotty jolt]

no lol

[rain night]

ok

ill just sell for medals then if i get her

[knotty jolt]

atleast keep a copy for fleet tech and the like

if ya got the dock space for it

[cobalt rapids]

mlb her with dupes for free ijn tech pts

[rain night]

all the ssr map drops are like unusable right

other than yuudachi but expensive ahh retro

[cobalt rapids]

wdym unsusable

[wind hazel]

umi do you know if 134 or the ijn fp AA gun is better on unzen?

[knotty jolt]

I mean kaga and akagi are semi useable albeit hyper power crept

[cobalt rapids]

ijn fp unless theres planes

[wind hazel]

ty

[knotty jolt]

I'm fucking old I only know of when they were used to counter Enty in PVP cause of their faster airstrike time allowig them to off enty before she could proc a lucky E

[cobalt rapids]

the only thing akaga is good for is +2 avi

[wind hazel]

pee vee pee

[rain night]

like completely outclassed

more like useless than unusable

[silk helm]

why is BB hit higher prio than BB rld in fleet tech?

[cobalt rapids]

then yes

[forest palm]

Akaga never did anything against Enterprise, it was Hiryuu that outed Enterprise

[wind hazel]

BB rld is sometimes not needed, but HIT is always more damage for your BB

[cobalt rapids]

i like rld

[wind hazel]

i have to love rld, f2p gaming

[silk helm]

ah got it

[strange sphinx]

What are the planes thar are good in heavy except for pr7 rainbow

[forest palm]

the typical fighters...

[knotty jolt]

All praise the xb2c

[hollow gust]

There is a German one in gear labs

[forest palm]

BFG isn't much better than a Flap on heavy ya?

[viscid swift]

it's worse actually

[fallen verge]

worth levelling san diego yellow skill?

between unicorn and helena and now her, i have almost no yellow books left

and then so many blues and reds

[knotty jolt]

Unicorn takes top priority

Then helena then sandy

[fallen verge]

yeah ive levelled their skills already

and portland too

just saying i have almost none left now

[knotty jolt]

how far along are ya atm

[wind hazel]

if you run out of yellow books, just use the blue books

[knotty jolt]

because while sandy is good she is primarily just used for AA

and is needed primarily in w13 otherwise you're fine not using her

[wind hazel]

sandy has good surface damage too

[fallen verge]

levelling her is helpful anyways since im trying to get saint louis for some missions

[worldly pewter]

asw too right ?

[knotty jolt]

i don't think that'd need her yellow skill leveled unless you got her augment

ya should be fine using the books on another ship in the meantime

[wind hazel]

you should get her augment if you're using her

[fallen verge]

going to

[knotty jolt]

augments are expensive investments be mindful

[warped acorn]

anchorage red skill worth upgrade right

[knotty jolt]

ye

i mean every ship would want it's skill maxed it's more of a which do i prioritize over others question

[warped acorn]

[undone zinc]

Is any of them worth getting for?

[rain vine]

kazagumo

[undone zinc]

Only kazagumo?

[rain vine]

i guess z46 if youre really struggling for ironblood tech
other than that, no

[haughty skiff]

Kazagumo
Baltimore is the most useful of the CAs but none of them are not worth investing into

You should get Gold Bulins and the protocores before the CA

[strange sphinx]

hmmm any good Converging torp bombers except for Pr7 and Torp bombers

[short matrix]

any tips for Sept challenge ship? Can't seem to get my DPS high enough. Use auto battle so I can do school work

[rain vine]

https://suchiguma.github.io/challengemode/september

[short matrix]

is it the lower down it is the better it is?

[rain vine]

top > high > mid
also should be able to tell just from looking at the gear setups

[rain night]

helena???

[wind hazel]

dont you know? Helena is half japanese

[soft raft]

what?

[short matrix]

well Mid-end CV is below Top-End BB so I'm trying to tell if CV is more effective for this. I don't necessarily have the gear they have for the fleets but I do have the ships to the correct level

[agile patrol]

hi. i checked the gear lab priority guide and the google drive guide
I still don't really understand which one i should be getting
my BB currently uses Lion's gun, and im using Unicorn and Enterprise along with Lion
should I go for UR Wyvern first? Or the 406 MK7? whatdowhatdowhatdo

[rain vine]

do you have the ships, equips, fleet tech needed for said fleet?
if no, then you use a different fleet
both cv and bb work

[wind hazel]

wyvern is good

[agile patrol]

amazing. spectacular. great infact

[wind hazel]

start with 1-2 wyverns and 1-2 conv tb (junkers) first for ur electronics and ur designs

-# copy pasted from umi

[viscid swift]

we have a new skk rating for a reason sigh

[undone plover]

did u check this one? https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab
check the new SKK column

[agile patrol]

OH.
ohhh this looks much easier to read 😭

[undone plover]

new skk doesnt exist it is new player

[agile patrol]

-# what's a conv tb?

[viscid swift]

Sam has not updated his gear lab guide in ages

[wind hazel]

converging torpedo bomber

[weary gust]

Torpedo bombers either aim their torpedos all at a single target, or drop them in a line going paralel with each other. The ones that aim towards a single target are called converging.

[viscid swift]

I checked last night, no Algerie gun, no pompeo gun, for some reason there's Goldiver on there

[wind hazel]

like ju87, saiun kai, ryusei, vit2

[agile patrol]

thanks yous!!!

[warm wadi]

heyyy so I really need to get some ships for research ships is it ok if i pull on the banner a bit to get some new stuff or should I wait for the limited banner? and when will the next limited be coming?

[rain vine]

you always wait for event banners

[wind hazel]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/fleet_technology/

[viscid swift]

the next event will be next week

[agile patrol]

kay soooo. these are my first priorities
two wyverns and two ju-786878877 D-4s

[viscid swift]

and there's plenty of ships to farm, you don't need to resort to pulling

[weary gust]

If you're new enough that you don't have tech for PR/DR ships, you're too new to be worried about PR/DR ships.

[warm wadi]

oh ok then XD

[undone plover]

between the S there is no specific ranking I would say
read what they are good for
and they use some different materials and share some
but 1 junker > 2 wyvern > rest is fine
the gun doesnt share mats with the planes iirc so u can craft it
but read the notes as well
the gun is rly only needed for ch14
so u can delay it if u dont need it atm

[nova halo]

has anyone encountered the freeze bug on LD9?

[agile patrol]

im gonna
do the 1 junker, 2 wyverns, and
get the "533mm Quadruple Magnetic Torpedo Mount" because i love torpedoes and the ones im using are slightly ass

[undone plover]

dont go overboard with the torps
u should in theory be able to get them in KMS tier 4 boxes
but they are cheap from what I remember so i guess u can craft 1-2

[fallen verge]

jp anni should be 1-2 weeks away now right

[wind hazel]

quite a lot of people do, can check#tech-support for more support about it. or switch to mumu12

[wind hazel]

it's on 11th

which is next thursday damn time flies

[fallen verge]

oh wow thats soon

ive managed to save up 400 cubes so im ready

[clear harbor]

Are any of the Medal DD’s a priority over fleet tech or waifu collecting?

[undone plover]

kazagumo

[clear harbor]

Perfect. I need IJN fleet tech anyway.

[glossy granite]

Get kazagumo

Shes nice for OpSi

[strange sphinx]

hmmm for heavy armor, Should I just go for this or give Amagi double wyvern or 1 wyvern and 1 Tenrai?

[cobalt rapids]

u should fix all their planes and make them sync

[wind hazel]

dont flag amagi too, and maybe give unzen that hinden gun

[weary gust]

The Flex (Heavy) and Torpedo Bomber categories are exactly the same, there is no reason to be splitting them apart.

[cobalt rapids]

not all flex slots are tb flex slots

[weary gust]

But all torpedo bombers used on single target bosses are the same.

[wind hazel]

[cobalt rapids]

ig i dont understand what you mean

[weary gust]

I just don't see a reason for that fourth row to exist.

[strange sphinx]

yeah Looks like I did switched them again

[wind hazel]

the fourth one is dedicated for TB slots

the first one is dedicated for Flex slot, which may be a combination of TB DB or fighter slot

[strange sphinx]

hmmm good sync?

[wind hazel]

no lol

[cobalt rapids]

no, shinano and amagi need to be within 0.2s of implac for 4 strikes

[fallen verge]

is it worth buying the cheaper specialised cores

[cobalt rapids]

its worth buying both

[fallen verge]

from the medal shop

[cobalt rapids]

unless ure a boomer with 100k spec cores

but then u should also have and endless pile of medals

[fallen verge]

ill do that then

[eternal basalt]

Still buy both

[fallen verge]

i cant fully afford the pricier ones though so ill leave them until i can actually gacha

[eternal basalt]

You got the whole month

[cobalt rapids]

most medal income is from regular sorties

[eternal basalt]

Otherwise 11th is UR event

[fallen verge]

thats what i meant

how much coins is 200 pulls by the way

[cobalt rapids]

300k

[fallen verge]

thats a lot

[wind hazel]

easy solution, don't pull day 1

[soft raft]

300k coins and 400 cubes

[cobalt rapids]

yes but its doable during event duration
or u can just prefarm it

[fallen verge]

probably just have to pull as i get the coins then

i barely get over 20k coins at any given point before dropping down again

[cobalt rapids]

are you at oilcap ?

[eternal basalt]

You have 3 weeks

[fallen verge]

as in capped out oil?

[cobalt rapids]

as in ch9 + preferably ch12

[fallen verge]

oh that

not yet

[cobalt rapids]

focus on doing that then till event hits

[fallen verge]

what commander level is needed for ch9?

[cobalt rapids]

65

[fallen verge]

alright

[cobalt rapids]

coin income skyrockets at oilcap worlds

[fallen verge]

what exactly is the difference

[cobalt rapids]

clearing rewards

[eternal basalt]

(which oncludes event d maps)

[cobalt rapids]

and well oilcap which limits the oil u consume

together = 📈

[fallen verge]

thanks for answers

[oblique valley]

does eldridge run spam dd guns or just normal damage guns?

[strange sphinx]

OPSI BOSS FLEET

[sharp comet]

mori my gph goat

[grizzled talon]

need help with w14 fleet (with fleet 1 & fleet 2 equipment) as well as opsi fleet

[strange sphinx]

man, I can really sync them, when I got 4 th strikes, Amagi have red color (This is dsync right?)

[gilded carbon]

out of curiosity and given she is in the next event, what gear to use for Houshou meta?

[ivory pawn]

Same as any other CV.

If you don't know what CVs usually use, check out https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/.

Wait, she has a CL main gun.

[cobalt rapids]

the cl gun can be the same as bb intercept aux but it doesnt matter much because she has 100 fp and a weak slot so its not like she can be the sole interceptor

[undone plover]

Red just means they are too close and abs cooldown and jamming are causing it to delay by a few milliseconds
If u hover the red part it should explain it

It is not a hard rule but actually if 2 are red this means you have better sync

[clever valley]

are there any good ships in the war archives?or gear i should go for? im getting close to the max amount of keys

[viscid swift]

no

outside of Iron Blood fleet tech, everything is collection

[clever valley]

kk

[agile patrol]

junker acquired
im gonna make another one for my unicorn (because why not. its so cheap?)
and then. maybe +10 both

[undone plover]

Although one thing to look for is that if 4th airstrike launches at 88 it probably will miss the boss since the fight will end before the bombs reach the boss

Usually BB take 4 seconds to land all their shells per salvo
CV take 3.5 seconds for TB and a bit less for rockets and bombs

[viscid swift]

yeah note how it's C for campaign/mobbing

[undone plover]

U could craft a second one
It will be eventually useful
But junker is mainly for bossing

[agile patrol]

perfect!!!

[undone plover]

Neko explain 🔮

[viscid swift]

"C: This piece of gear has a niche use but is otherwise terrible."
as we define for worth

[cobalt rapids]

depends on conv tb and on boss location
saiun can take like ~3.5 or less idr exactly
vit2 can take over 4s for the same location

[undone plover]

~~Syncing guide when ~~

[wind hazel]

my sync guide is copying homework from this channel

[viscid swift]

I mean it shouldn't need to be that long

[undone plover]

I will have a go at it maybe

[quaint tapir]

u37 is nice if you're building wolfpack, otherwise yeah basically all collection/tech

[clever valley]

whats wolf packs?

[soft raft]

german submarines

[clever valley]

ah kk

[quaint tapir]

any gold uboats really

[soft raft]

it's a nickname based off of the hunting tactics they used in WW2

[agile patrol]

i
i feel like ive just breathed air for the first time. ever.
what the fuck is the junker's damage?
no seriously, whatever it touches disappears.
ive been living without this? for so long? when i could've gotten it so easily?

[quaint tapir]

u96 and u37 are two mainstays in most wolfpack comps, 552 is a great flex if you have her

[clever valley]

Ah kk, yah these are the only subs i have

[cobalt rapids]

if u reached oilcap its worth mlbing or 5* i-58 and then doing the lv65 sub raid

[quaint tapir]

good news is subs won't matter until you naturally have more of them anyways lol

[eternal basalt]

Hope for UR special banner

[quaint tapir]

me out here hoping the UR is unryuu

[agile patrol]

im seriously in awe right now. this is amazing.

[agile patrol]

when is the UR banner?

[quaint tapir]

11th

[undone plover]

Using the correct gear for a situation does that
Altho to clarify for the junker
Use it in your bossing fleet
When u have a ship that can slow/stop the enemy
It uses converging torpedos
Which have a tendancy to whiff(miss) when the enemy zooms around

[strange sphinx]

Last question before I close this calc.... no right?

[soft raft]

still a no

especially at sync 4 wtf happened there

[quaint tapir]

too desynced

[undone plover]

The reason we recommend buying it even tho it is essentially useless for story mode is because when u setup your first CV fleet (which u should do at some point) it will be really useful and actually one of the best gear

[quaint tapir]

the junker is also amazing paired with avp, which has a good chance of being a new player's first slow/stop cv

[balmy wharf]

When is the next UR event expected to be, and new UR or rerun of Unzen / Laffy 2 & Guam?

[quaint tapir]

unzen rerun and new ur in 2 weeks

[undone plover]

Next UR sep 11
Next rerun UR is unzen sometime in oct/nov

[quaint tapir]

rerun might be a week or two later

[soft raft]

New UR later this month
Unzen rerun could be right after, or could be slightly later, either way refer to this in regards to reruns

[quaint tapir]

they've announced the pre event so there's a hard deadline on the new UR event now

[balmy wharf]

Thanks, those are the only three URs I’m currently missing, so I might be able to get them both by the end of the year then?

[soft raft]

depends

[undone plover]

Guam/laffey should be in january

[balmy wharf]

Close enough

[soft raft]

Intial run date is not a precise indicator of the rerun date

[quaint tapir]

within 6 months is a better estimate

[soft raft]

Shinano for example

[quaint tapir]

assuming you have the cubes to pity the reruns

[undone plover]

The only pattern that is held so far is 1 UR rerun between 2 new URs
So if sep is UR and dec is UR unzen should he oct-nov
And guam+laffey should be january-february

[eternal basalt]

And Guam in January. Feb is new UR

[undone plover]

Most likely yes

[soft raft]

2nd Guam gun

[undone plover]

Mgm3 CB when

[eternal basalt]

She was the ONLY UR in 2020, not 1 amongst 4 like now

[soft raft]

True, the 4 batch ones are more close to the pattern Faerlein mentioned

[undone plover]

They even moved rerun orders around to stick to that pattern that is why I mention it

[eternal basalt]

Fool and marseilles when though

[undone plover]

Marseillaise should be archived I think and skipped for rerun

[eternal basalt]

Not what they did for Foch

[bright rose]

What is this for?

[eternal basalt]

Stuff you analyze

[bright rose]

Analyze?

[onyx flame]

analyze it gives protocore, that can be used to get useful gear

[bright rose]

So do I just analyze all of them now

[onyx flame]

also question about proto gear, i got 2 flandre and 1 champy and the tenrai, i can start getting other stuff yea?

[worn quest]

Can someone help me make opsi fleets pls

[viscid swift]

yes

hmm agir gun it is

[hot tiger]

Advice for grinding gear in opsi

[viscid swift]

do everything each month, buy what you need from the shops, and spend all of your AP by the month's end

[agile patrol]

what are the 3 minimum equipments good for? why are these the minimum
well. i already know what the tenrai is. but what are the rest?

[onyx flame]

the 406 and 380 are ap bb guns

[knotty jolt]

Champ gun has good armor modifiers for heavy and medium same with the french gun, tenrai has armor break boosting damage the reason they're minimum is there are better options more specilized

plus they're just a good starting point to work towards till you decide to branch out to other gear options

[viscid swift]

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

[agile patrol]

thanks!! ! ! ! !!!

[undone plover]

Champy/flan gun = best gun vs medium/heavy for bossing (raffa gun + meck gun are better technically but more limited + expensive)
It is cheap since it is SR
And BB usually are strongest bossing fleet for newbies
That is why it is recommended to prioritize

[agile patrol]

spectacular. amazing even . ..

[knotty jolt]

I mean it's not best but is one of the better options while being more generally applicable

[undone plover]

I clarified

[knotty jolt]

I was mid typing when ya did

[onyx flame]

is there even a diff between naval camo/hydraulic steering gear or is the same thing just diff name

[knotty jolt]

same thing different name

same thing applies with ocean soul camo, but it's actually worse in the sense it's more expensive and really not worth the core data

[vale spindle]

blue one nope its the exact same thing just with different name / icon xd

[worn quest]

can someone help me rq in my thread pls? :]

[agile patrol]

herlo
ill likely have enough tech points to start unlocking Agir (636/700) before i complete Roon's research (because combat XP sucks and i hate it and i hope it gets thrown off a cliff). if that happens, do i stop going for Roon and skip to Agir

[soft raft]

still finish Roon cuz tech points is tech points

also the XP grind is the easiest part of research, belive it or not

[agile patrol]

im going to kill Azur Lane. if it was a person

[agile patrol]

HOWDoyou get like. 3.something million XP??

[late nest]

Is the Operation Siren Data Logger worth the 5,000 oil as a 1 month player or should I clear the map manually? I got to but didn't clear the Arbiter before this month's reset.

[agile patrol]

its been weeks and i havent even completed the 1.2 million xp part ! ! ! !

[viscid swift]

if you're farming chaoter 12 the CDC should be a breeze

[agile patrol]

oh.
-# i see where my problem is. thanks.

[viscid swift]

considering I can grind 3.6 million XP in less than 6 days

[soft raft]

Are you doing the following:

• Using 3 ships that match the required faction and hulltype category?
• Farming anywhere W9+? Ideally W12

[viscid swift]

without even try harding

I would very much consider that a you issue

[agile patrol]

u h h h h
my only ship that's KMS is Otto
so. I might. need to like shove a few more KMS(s) in there

[soft raft]

yeah no wonder 💀

1 ship contributing XP would definetly be hella slow

[agile patrol]

[viscid swift]

3 million XP is way more than you need to get one ship from level 100 to 120

[agile patrol]

slight oopsie . . .

[haughty skiff]

okay so

Use Otto / Z23 / Z1

If you have 12-4 at safe then farm there with Unicorn Retro + a Barrage BB
If not, then farm 11-1 at safe with the mentioned backline

[agile patrol]

im pushing campaign
ill try to get to 12-4 asap

[viscid swift]

people grinding tech before they even get to W12 is something I will never understand

[haughty skiff]

then just push campaign and clear W12

W12 is just a solid place to farm

[agile patrol]

im kitted enough to get to W12, maybe overkitted
its just that i was too busy last month doing the event and then my first month of opsi

[haughty skiff]

fleet check ?

[agile patrol]

one sec

[haughty skiff]

yeah that should fucking steamroll lmao

just clear W12

[agile patrol]

[viscid swift]

if it's geared properly

[haughty skiff]

get 12-4 to safe and farm

its so easy to get coins and exp when you have 12-4

[agile patrol]

it's like. half geared
(i have ZERO non poverty DD/CL guns)
everything else is geared

[haughty skiff]

i assume they've looked at the quick gear-guide and at least have some gear

[agile patrol]

one sec . . .

so. my backline i think is fairly nice

my. vanguard is slightly very abominable.

[agile patrol]

no i cannot do anything to fix it.
i do not have any better gear than this

[cerulean field]

does anyone have any recommendations or a guide in order to beat world 9?

[haughty skiff]

thats valid - you could put a second evasion gear on Portland instead of Torp bulge

but that main fleet should just carry solely since it's just so stacked

[haughty skiff]

W9 is quite easy, you shouldn't be struggling with it; could you show your current fleet ?

[agile patrol]

-# why is the torp bulge even there wtf.

[viscid swift]

I did say that Ju87ds aren't suited for mobbing sigh

[haughty skiff]

oh fuck yeah you have Ju8s lmao

[viscid swift]

also that aux gun on Lion is garbage

[agile patrol]

my other current available options are 🐀

[viscid swift]

open more tech boxes then

[agile patrol]

i'm aware. i do not have a better option
infact. i have opened a few 100+ gold boxes in total

[viscid swift]

I find that somewhat unlikely unless literally none of them were iron blood

[haughty skiff]

those are for bossing not for mobbing;no Gold Barracudas or Core Data's Breguet ?

[agile patrol]

uhhhh.. around 30 of those? were KMS boxes

[viscid swift]

Twin 150mm like on Helena would be your best option for Lion's aux gun

[agile patrol]

i'll see

[agile patrol]

i do have two barracudas yes

[haughty skiff]

use Gold Barracuda > Ju87 on Unicorn , save the Ju87s for your Boss fleet

i know you're using 1 fleet rn but it wont be like that for W13+

[agile patrol]

okiei!!!!

[haughty skiff]

I think even with your extreme poverty gear that Unicorn + Lion just sweeps W12 and the level advantage your fleet have will make up for it

[viscid swift]

also do you not even have a purpke F4u corsair for enterprise

[agile patrol]

one sec lemme check

[oblique mortar]

just making sure, but I should probably get the microphone thingy for sandy retrofit before getting the UR bulins, right? (my only ur as of now is NJ)

[undone plover]

only if u plan to tackle ch13 and above

tbh even for 13 probably sandy aug is enough

[agile patrol]

i. have four of them
i have the purple Hellcat and I think i mixed it up with the gold one.. that's why its on enty
-# oops #18273

replacing that

[oblique mortar]

I am... on chapter 7 as of now..

[undone plover]

so dont get it

just save spec core until the next UR arrives
and never use bulin on perma URs
save UR bulins for limited URs

there might be some exceptions
but best always save enough for 4 bulins then come ask here how to use it

[oblique mortar]

okay dokay

[agile patrol]

don't be like me who instantly shoved their first ever UR bulin onto a random UR ship thinking it's a common resource

[oblique mortar]

atm I'm both grinding to lvl 50 so I can progress in campaign AND getting the exp requirements for roon

[undone plover]

dw about roon that much

if your team is high level enough go do universe in unison/passionate polaris in war archive
it has easy oil cap before u unlock ch9

[agile patrol]

scrap that. i got a gold hellcat from a box

[oblique mortar]

damn

[forest palm]

[cobalt robin]

Is it worth making ur ords out of the gold ones?

[ivory pawn]

If you need them.

Gold ords are very useful to have, but you only get 1 guaranteed UR ord a month so.

[cobalt robin]

Hmm

I'll just wait for now

[fallen verge]

do ships store exp before awakening?

[eternal basalt]

You can make T2 ords into T3, so it's more 1 3/4th guanteed per month than 1

[eternal basalt]

Only if lvl > 100, not if limit broken stuck

[strange sphinx]

hmmm what boss fleet should Eldrige would be?

[slow fox]

Honestly I'm not a tech enthusiast. I don't think I've even touched Haguro

I'm just 120ing random ships

[sweet delta]

Unbelievable

[clear harbor]

Fleet Comp Help

[slow fox]

-# You know what's unbelievable? That JP anni will have Azuma 2 with 220% eHP

[red hawk]

im not going to have to redo all those siren research facilities now that opsi reset am I

this is my first reset

[eternal basalt]

You mean puzzles? Then no... if you mean otherwise... what are you talking about?

[red hawk]

yeah the puzzles you go through the teleporter for

the siren research facilities

[eternal basalt]

Those are onetime things (thank god)

[red hawk]

ok yeah definitely not fun

[zinc hornet]

Hey guys, is this fine for opsi mobbing?

[spring onyx]

Hey just wondering the best fleet I can make rn out of Iron Blood ships that I have

[stark quiver]

i mean yes
but i dont think theres much planes in ops, so maybe run a rocket fighter like 109g
xb2c can be tenrai, but if not thats fine
run parrallel torps

[static harbor]

Laffey 2 or Z52 for mobbing?

[zinc hornet]

just realised I'm 46/50 for la-9. should i jump back on pr7 research to finish that off over the 109g?

[stark quiver]

dont do research for the 109g, if anything go to pr8 after you finish the la9

[zinc hornet]

sorry i didn't explain properly

i am doing pr8 now. is it worth spending the time back in pr7 to finish the la9?

[stark quiver]

yes

[zinc hornet]

okay thank you :) here's what I've got for now. wyverns just completely slipped my mind for some reason

[red hawk]

hey alpha, we were talking about farming divergent chessboard, outside of the SR, who should I be looking for as far as fleet tech vanguards for IB

or rather- how do I know what ships have good fleet tech?

[stark quiver]

fleet tech as in faction points or 120 tech?
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/ships
anyway, you can check here

[rapid shard]

Did they change the weekly rewards? I only got one gold bulin for finishing all the weeklys

[stark quiver]

pretty sure it was always 1 gold bulin

[zinc hornet]

i can only ever remember getting one

[rapid shard]

I thought it was 2 guess im just gas lighting myself

[glossy granite]

Why does everyone get aquila except me

[red hawk]

I don't have aquila

[left cedar]

just, git gud, have a nice day
luck can be a pain.

[short matrix]

what is a good substitute for Aurora if I do not have her leveled up yet?

[viscid swift]

for Yuudachi META?

assuming we can use pretty much the exact same fleets for Yuudachi META as Kawakaze META which is a pretty big iff

Trafalgar if you're using BBs and Chapayev

[short matrix]

for the monthly challenge actually. Didn't realize how useful she was

[viscid swift]

not Chapayev then, Trafalgar still works

[stark quiver]

wait for wishing well
or god rng from event pulls

[short matrix]

okay, thanks

[eternal basalt]

CN anni is the next one, over half a year

[stark quiver]

im aware of that

[glossy granite]

2 wishing wells already got absolutely cooked 😭

Even did a random summon at once point and got Ulrich when i didnt even wish for her, i deadass got Ulrich before aquila

[silk helm]

shouldve kept pulling

[rapid shard]

What's the site for this?

[forest palm]

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

[rapid shard]

You the man. Thanks

[woven depot]

Hello i have a question, in w15 for the support fleet, does the level of my aiplanes matter

[stark quiver]

yes

+10 is enough

[woven depot]

Thank

[haughty skiff]

would love to get some help w/ opsi fleets

haven't played since 2024 so i'm a bit washed with opsi now'adays

[viscid swift]

if they're working I wouldn't worry too much

OpSi hasn't changed since 2024

[haughty skiff]

its been like 2 years since ive actually played it so im just unsure if they do work tbh

[viscid swift]

sure

[haughty skiff]

basically i have everything from Alasce event & before it , P1 - P5 100% & PR6 Dev25+ (Hinden at 20)

[viscid swift]

looks fine honestley

[haughty skiff]

noted, ill just add fishpack and gear up everyone ig

and get everyone 125

[hollow gust]

perfer not to run uni percy but meh its only mobbing

[haughty skiff]

actually i should just add in Indep over Percy

Indep Retro / Aquila, Indep seems more useful for the crossfleet AVI / RLD imo

[stark quiver]

indep is good

[haughty skiff]

feels weird not using Alasce but ig i'd need to toss in Jeane / Brest / Saint Louis in

[stark quiver]

alsace is probbaly better than musashi

[viscid swift]

she is

[haughty skiff]

toss Alasce instead of Musashi, toss Mushashi into the Mob over NJ ?

[viscid swift]

yes

[haughty skiff]

Will Alasce want her french faction based buffs ?

Seems like it, just unsure who to sub in for them

[viscid swift]

no

[haughty skiff]

alright

[elfin hollow]

For super super early game (<7 days) is the purple bread gun good enough for interception work for DD secondary locked BBs?

[viscid swift]

yes

[plain saffron]

When is stream

[balmy skiff]

what's the ideal fleet for Yuudoggo META?

[soft raft]

She literally just got announced today 💀
We know jack shit about her fight mechanics

but considering her hulltype, definetly anti-light

[balmy skiff]

give me a good example of anti-light fleet

[soft raft]

the most basic one I can give you right now is HE BB guns
And I guess something like this one that I have saved for CVs

but that's of course going to change when we actually know what the fight mechanics are

[muted crescent]

I just wanted to ask: is anyone seeing where Helena just doesn’t pop Radar Scan on 20s and I have to wait till later for it or is it just me

[soft raft]

it's a 60% proc chance

so you're simply hitting that other 40% chance to not activate the skill

[muted crescent]

Oh
Well time to bin Helena, can’t have luck like that /s 😭

[stark quiver]

max cv rld and max bb rld

[slow fox]

-# You have not, young disciple. As long as your waifu has above 100% eHP, there is no failure.

[soft raft]

lol

or give Mebot a UR Rudder

[slow fox]

URudder!

[quiet kiln]

How high do i need to level up my ships via dorm and exp data until i can level them up via stages like 11-4

[viscid swift]

depends, I sometimes throw a ship in at level 1

[quiet kiln]

Won't they die

[viscid swift]

as I say it depends

with my set up it's unlikely but for yours maybe not

[bright rose]

Should I limit break my laffey?

[viscid swift]

you should limit break any ships you're using

[vale spindle]

good rule of thumb is lvl 70 mlb baseline, can go lower or higher depending on your setup

also surround them with actual lvl 100+ ships im not saying run a full fleet of lvl 70s you will probably die

[quiet kiln]

Tysm

[wispy cosmos]

if you're literally chucking them without a healer or bothering to equip them with better than transitional gear, it's closer to a fleet of 100s

[remote tide]

Is there an updated w15 guide? Or can I try to copy somebodys fleets? I have good ships but gear might be lacking

[harsh trout]

does anyone know how to reture over lvl 1 ships? im trying to find it in the retire page.

[zenith heron]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15

Head to this, thanks to Suchiguma...

[viscid swift]

turn off the filters that only show level 1 ships

[harsh trout]

it used to be on the top right to filter them out but i dont find it there anymore

top left*

[soft raft]

It's always been in the upper right....

[harsh trout]

on the sort tab?

[umbral pollen]

Is anything in the build shop good and yes i know the sr ship is good but i have her already

[viscid swift]

did you unlock them?

you can only retire unlocked ships

[harsh trout]

.... i forgot about that function

thank you

[soft raft]

build shop?

[umbral pollen]

ya

[soft raft]

no but like which one are you referring to?
none of the shops are called the "Build Shop"

[umbral pollen]

the build ship

[soft raft]

Are you talking about the one with Le Hardi in it?

aka the event shop

[umbral pollen]

No the normal one

[soft raft]

Just take a screenshot at this point cuz I still have no idea what you mean

[sweet delta]

[forest palm]

[muted crescent]

save them for event builds

never do the normal ones

[soft raft]

Bruh that is not a shop, that's the Gacha 💀

[umbral pollen]

When is next event

[forest palm]

11th

[muted crescent]

we'll find out on the 6th, but it's expected to be the 11th

[soft raft]

And highly likely to be a new Gacha UR

[umbral pollen]

What Nation is she planned to be

[soft raft]

The September event slot has been Sakura Empire since at least as far back as 2020

[rapid shard]

Needing some help on gearing for W13 This is current 2 setups for Boss and Mob Fleet. ive got enough mats to make 2 possibly 3 gold items in Gear lab just not sure what to make prio based on what im running

[viscid swift]

yikes

[viscid swift]

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

[rapid shard]

I started a month ago and just now getting this gear stuff figured out lol

[viscid swift]

I don't say this lightly

[rapid shard]

Forgot to set NJ with champ gun.

[viscid swift]

I think this is some of the worse gearing I've ever seen

[rapid shard]

Oh i know its dogshit

99% of it was stuff i got super early and just havent changed out

[viscid swift]

then fix it.....

[rapid shard]

Thats why im asking here....

[viscid swift]

my dude

[rapid shard]

Im literally reading it now dude

[wind hazel]

duuuuuuuuude

[stark quiver]

[rapid shard]

I havent really touched gear at all since chp5-6ish been sitting on 12-4 for a week or 2 and got fleet leveled so trying to actually get gear sorted and try pushing 13.

I know 13 is where Heavy armor bosses start appearing and havent messed with any AP guns really at all

[wind hazel]

start buying, it will come handy

[slow fox]

What is the source of this whoa

[viscid swift]

faer

[stark quiver]

[rapid shard]

Ive been buying the prints from shop. got one champ gotta buy the rest today for the 380. working on tenrai as well

[stark quiver]

also how does gph have faers guide already

[wind hazel]

dont you know? we are faerlein

[viscid swift]

no fucking clue

[wind hazel]

he posted it himself, and i yoinked it

[stark quiver]

is that even v5.0^2

[viscid swift]

don't think so

[rapid shard]

Looking at the champ and flandre gun. would it be better to get 2 of the champs and one flandre? Champ has slightly higher mod for heavy and 150x3 compared to 148x3. or is the .5sec difference in speed make up the difference?

[wind hazel]

2 1 or 1 2 works, they are mostly interchangeable and mostly only for adjusting BB timings

dont think too much, just flip a coin. what you really want is meckgun from series 8 in the end

[rapid shard]

Slowly working towards those and the other rainbows like Plymouth and drake gun but trying to get most out of limited mats ive got to get my fleet sorted out.

[wind hazel]

unless you have a lot of protocore in hand already, just stay with the min and recommended first

i dont even think getting drake gun is good

[rapid shard]

Based of the list that was provided its the one of the best across board minus hidenburg gun

[viscid swift]

for fucks sake

[wind hazel]

... so why are you not getting hindenburg gun first

why consider drake before hind gun if you're gonna look at the luxury category

[viscid swift]

This is not strictly a crafting guide,** and as such, don't treat all pieces listed in this guide as safe to craft**. Conversely, several pieces of gear have been deliberately omitted from this guide. While they might be better than some of the options that are listed (though not best in slot), they are only marginal improvements over some of the pieces that are listed while being much more expensive to obtain, like +13 Monarch Gun.

[rapid shard]

Whats your problem dude? i ask for help you give list then get pissy when im following the list?

[wind hazel]

unzen rerun is also soon, you will get an unzen gun. both of these gun gonna put drake gun in lower priority

[viscid swift]

I literally just copy pasted what I wrote as a preface for the guide, highlighted the relevant bit

which you very clearly didn't read

[wind hazel]

i mean even barring that, there's just no reason to consider drake gun before hind gun lol

[viscid swift]

just because something is good, doesn't mean it's worthwhile to obtain

[wind hazel]

when the guide you're looking at clearly put hind gun above drake gun

[muted crescent]

is this a good CA gun?

[stark quiver]

no

[viscid swift]

middle of the pack but more expensive to craft than its competitors

[muted crescent]

I did get it from research, assumed it was better than Eugen gun

[viscid swift]

it isn't

more like a sidegrade

[muted crescent]

ok fair enough

[wind hazel]

why are you getting it from research

[muted crescent]

I guess I can run this on San Francisco till I get Unzen gun

[muted crescent]

my dumb ass was running PR1 research 2 months ago and RNG gave me 25 of these

I do need different CL guns for w13, cuz this is horrendous. What do I try getting

[viscid swift]

no you don't, there are basically no suicide boats in W13

[muted crescent]

so these guns are fine for now, yes?

[viscid swift]

yes

[prisma torrent]

chat is there like a guide for OpSi

[viscid swift]

no

[stark quiver]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/19P3KPrgOrzCySoUrjDZgsfqJsCpJCyb9XmmSKozVzbw/edit?usp=sharing
i found this guide

[rain night]

Why is my unzens power so low?

[stark quiver]

fleet power?
it doesnt matter tbh
actual damage? probably wrong gear

[haughty skiff]

fleet power doesn't matter; if she isn't doing any damage then either a lack of gear, levels or limit breaks

[wind hazel]

my unzen power level is not 9000 😭

[rain night]

Its just power she is doing fine in battles

[soft raft]

Fleet power is basically flavour text

[stark quiver]

why isnt my 1000 fleet power unzen doing damage

[soft raft]

You can give a garbage ship like the neptunia ships rainbow gear and they would have high fleet power

Does that mean that they're really good now? Lmao no

[wind hazel]

because noob

[umbral pollen]

what is the best level for gold farming that isnt 13-4 because i am only at 12-2

[wind hazel]

12-4

[umbral pollen]

i am only at 12-2
