fleet building

[timber crow]

yooo witch dd should i buy from medal shop?

yukika, z46, le malin, kazagumo, tashkent, allen sumner or triomphant?

[sharp socket]

kazagumo

[wind hazel]

kaza

[sweet delta]

Are you speculating that Hakuhou doesn't come with ARA built in?

[wind hazel]

i speculate she has cringe taihou buff

[verbal thistle]

Should I take the AFCT / HCFCR off Lion/Alsace if they're firing before Vanguard?

I'll try again with an autoloader on Vanguard over the HCFCR.

[exotic wren]

after finishing opsi story(mb), i have to wait for monthly reset before the 'normal' opsi starts right? ie arby, shops, strongholds?

[stark quiver]

after finish chapter 4 of opsi yes

[pastel condor]

Where to get essex retro mat?

[viscid swift]

you can't right now, missed the event a few weeks ago

[pastel condor]

Shittt I just wasted my coins on her

[south sequoia]

another year of waiting for you

[pastel condor]

Could u show me her retrofitted

Also how can u farm coins easily

[viscid swift]

farm W12 for the latter

[viscid swift]

kinda underwhelming as far as a new UR goes but

[civic prairie]

Maint is today or tomorrow?

[viscid swift]

tomorrow

[pastel condor]

Shit and I'm out of coins

[viscid swift]

the new event lasts for 20 days, you have time

[pastel condor]

But?

[viscid swift]

she's a jack of all trades master of none

she's 2nd or 3rd best at many things but not the best at anything

[south sequoia]

to be fair its a retrofit, though then again eldridge exists

[viscid swift]

precisely

they should have touched her blue skill but they didn't

[south sequoia]

I guess you could say they absolutely evaded it

[soft raft]

have you made sure that all three of them are using the same gun, and if applicable, all have HSFCR/AFCT

[rain hearth]

is Eldridge retro good or not?
i am confused on that

[verbal thistle]

I was using an HCFCR instead of an autoloader on Vanguard. My mistake.

[viscid swift]

very good

[soft raft]

very good yeah
but not a high prio for the average newbie and her retrofit item isnt peramently avaliable (yet)

[viscid swift]

Vanguard has the highest reload stat of any BB in the game

[stark quiver]

vanguard is usually the fastest one out of the others tho
what guns and gear are they using

[viscid swift]

but anyway, not like her firing first is that much of a concern since her debuff is applied when she reloads not when she fires

like just in terms of how much I use each UR she's up there

[rain hearth]

ok seriously
there is so much misinformation around
i don't mean you guys
but a guy said essex retro is great and Eldridge retro is bad from the other server, he was also mod there
then someone yesterday said fdg is no longer great

i am just really really lost
can anyone bring me up to speed

[verbal thistle]

This was the setup before but I swapped the HCFCR with an autoloader for Vanguard. I'll check the difference on reset.

[viscid swift]

whoever said eldridge retrofit is bad automatically proves they no nothing about the game

[stark quiver]

give vanguard the mk2
and take that autoloader off alsace

[viscid swift]

this might be a good place to start
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit

[soft raft]

from the perspective of most veterans, FdG is indeed very whatever, but she's the most acessible UR BB in the game for newbies and you can slowly develop her with coins

[rain hearth]

what the hell
literally yesterday people in gph told me warspite retro is better than fdg

[verbal thistle]

Done.

[stark quiver]

nice

[viscid swift]

she is

[verbal thistle]

Thanks for the help

[soft raft]

she is
but you have to sink a crap ton of resources into her to make her get to that level

Which is just plain not worth it

her retro costs like 80k and her unique aug is another 20k
not to mention the 2k spec core for her retro item

[viscid swift]

tbf fair FDG costs way more coins than that to coin up

[rain hearth]

so can you look into my eyes and say fdg is good
very good for me who is just lvl 64 and whose only ur is sandy retro

[soft raft]

True, but at the very least it's just coins (outside of the research missions)

[viscid swift]

I mean she'll be good for you for a decent while

not that you should be thinking about either at commander level 64

[slow fox]

what

[viscid swift]

or retrofitting San Diego

[stark quiver]

actually i think this is fine
or mk7 on lion if you wanna milk more damage out of her

[rain hearth]

what! is 64 high?

[viscid swift]

no it's low

[rain hearth]

i plan ahead

[soft raft]

bruh

[viscid swift]

there's planning ahead and then there's being stupid with resources

[rain hearth]

i even chose z23 for fdg

[viscid swift]

Sandy is absurdly expensive for a new player

and those resources could for the early game be far more effectively spend elswhere

[stark quiver]

i was level 64 5 years ago

[rain hearth]

she really is
but she hard carries me through everything with her aug

[viscid swift]

you could have just crafted her augment and she would have been fine

and not touched her retrofit at all

[stark quiver]

are you cheating on me

[rain hearth]

i don't think there was any better use of the retrofit items

[viscid swift]

until you got to W12, when you could actually afford the coins among others to put into her

[rain hearth]

was there?

[soft raft]

You do know you can just save them up, right?

[viscid swift]

if you mean farming retrofit BPs, Unicorn's would have been better to go for first

Maryland you lacked a BB, Saratoga's, Portland's etc

[rain hearth]

i did retro her first
i know that part

[viscid swift]

like, Sandy with just her augment is a perfectly decent ship

and the retrofit costs almost 60k coins and an additional 3 SR Bullins

[soft raft]

^
esp for pre W9 where it's comically easy with proper bare mininum investment

[rain hearth]

umm
by the time i am high level, you will say fdg is no longer great

[soft raft]

that's not even what he said

[rain hearth]

and the ecgc huide said to focus on fdg

[viscid swift]

what

[verbal thistle]

So it's fine if Vanguard fires later?

[soft raft]

she'll last you until you get more and more UR BBs

[viscid swift]

FDG stops becoming good once you get 3 newer gacha UR BBs to replace her

[stark quiver]

kinda

[slow fox]

-# what

[verbal plinth]

that will take years

[viscid swift]

which is for you anyway ain't happening for a few months at least

[soft raft]

^

[viscid swift]

no it won't

like a few months at max with how often the devs like to release UR BBs

[ivory pawn]

Not necessarily. Depends on what URs and reruns release at the time you're playing.

For reference, I'm coming up on a year and I've gotten 3-4. (Musashi, Raffaello, Lion, BisZwei)

[viscid swift]

with Mecklenburg on the way

[ivory pawn]

Slowly but surely.

[soft raft]

For reference on how much the devs love putting out new UR BBs in gacha

[forest palm]

more vanguard representation than I thought, but not as much as main fleet

[stark quiver]

all my homies hate cls

[forest palm]

CLs being the minority, nothing ever changes

[south sequoia]

bad day to be a cl fan

Though considering sandy and plymouth exists I wonder what kind of monstrosities we would get with another ur cl

[slow fox]

-# Finally. 212% CL

[exotic wren]

oh i 404 is confirmed to be the shop one?

and here i was coping for the CV to be the shop one sigh

oh datamine will be out around maint start for EN right?

[soft raft]

tbh considering that the CV is the one being slapped all over marketing material
Yes
but the update is one day later than usual so check back in roughly 24 hours

[exotic wren]

oh

[stark quiver]

ur sub
doa

[exotic wren]

oh yah maint will be tomorrow i forgor

[south sequoia]

later actually

[forest palm]

glad I'm not the only one that has doubts about 404 being useful...

[south sequoia]

We are 4 hours away from the maintenance

in 18 minutes it will be 3 hours away

[exotic wren]

maint is today, event (and banner) starts tomorrow?

[forest palm]

nah they pushed it to Friday

[viscid swift]

no

we're still more than 24 hours off from maintinence starting

[south sequoia]

She has to be doing above ur vanguard levels of damage to be worth it imo, subs aren't even getting reworked anyways so her usability is mega sus... but who knows, lets wait for when she drops and gets used

[viscid swift]

not even that

[exotic wren]

oh

[south sequoia]

wtf why did I think it was friday already

[viscid swift]

she won't be able to be used in half the content

[eager mulch]

[south sequoia]

that too

[exotic wren]

sorreh i can't see game-news for some reason

[viscid swift]

the only time she'll get used is when W16 comes out and only for that

[south sequoia]

ur sub dropped and the one mode where they constantly release challenge fights is the one mode she isn't even allowed in. I sleep

[exotic wren]

and she won't fit in wolfpack too i'm guessing

[viscid swift]

this is why this is a double UR event in name only

[forest palm]

Sea Slug 2.0

[exotic wren]

SSV?

[south sequoia]

ijn subs have their fair share of good subs, though there is always the subs like homura leonardo and etc. that are general and dgaf that much about faction

[south sequoia]

sub rework when

[soft raft]

only problem IJN faces is Wolfpack and Fishpack basically in a whole other leauge

[bright rose]

Do I need to upgrade torpedo to get modernization

[forest palm]

Simpler to say IJN subs lack synergy

[exotic wren]

CA/CB shared slot in HM when first

[soft raft]

considering that there's a arrow going from it to the modernizaton node, yes

[south sequoia]

she better not be ijn locked..

[stark quiver]

mfw

[soft raft]

It would be both funny and sad if she does
inb4 she turns out to be omega cracked as a sub faction buffer

[south sequoia]

all that to still not be usable in meta fights

[exotic wren]

she ends up buffing ijn surface ships every airstrike

shit it is possible

[forest palm]

I-13 kind of already does that, the problem is you have to play manually

[soft raft]

Totals w/ research and retros added if anyone was curious
Way less BBs being added than I thought for some reason ngl

totally also didnt change SS to SSV when I looked back in this channel lol

[haughty skiff]

UR Sub before UR CL from a event is so wild

[verbal mulch]

People are talking like there’s a Datamine out already. I feel like I’m missing something since there’s no pin…

[exotic wren]

there isn't any yet

[soft raft]

We're just mainly joking/speculating on how screwed over I-404 will be

[exotic wren]

and there's a thread for dataminers here right? or is it in the other side

[soft raft]

Not here

They prob have their own dedicated server for that stuff

[haughty skiff]

tbh half of the Gacha UR BBs are from like 1 - 2 specific years; they still add too many but NJ / UVH / Vanguard all in less than a year was one way to brute force BBs back into the meta

[south sequoia]

I would've taken a 5th ur dd anyday

[viscid swift]

nah, they release 2 new UR BBs at minimum every year

[soft raft]

Tfw Musashi

[haughty skiff]

You think we're getting another one in December ?

[viscid swift]

2021: NJ and UvH
2022: Musashi and Vanguard
2023: Zwei and Kearsarge
2024: Alsace and Soyuz
2025: Raffaello, Lion, Mecklenburg

[verbal mulch]

If we’re speculating, I think they’ll let her be deployed in the Main Fleet. No way they limit her to the sub fleet. Personally I think they’ll have her launch airstrikes from the rear, and periodically move forward to launch torpedoes. Kinda like Halford, but not crap.

[haughty skiff]

yeah ; NJ, UVH & Vanguard only had 1 UR event from NJ -> Vanguard that wasnt a UR BB thought (Shimakaze)

[viscid swift]

nah, the devs aren't that creative

[viscid swift]

Kronshtadt crying in a corner

[south sequoia]

as a 4th main fleet slot sure, as a slot in the main fleet as a whole? ehhhhhhhhhh

[wind hazel]

if they are creative we would have UR CL by now

[haughty skiff]

actually forget she exists half the time LMAO

[soft raft]

Maybe she shouldn't have been a zombie tank (or a janky attempt at one) then

[south sequoia]

well, "zombie"

[viscid swift]

anyway I don't put much faith int the devs to make her actually more useful

[south sequoia]

her conditioning and healing is weird.

[viscid swift]

bearing in mind this is the same team who indirectly last week nerfed Mecklenburg and Fritz

[south sequoia]

wait what

[viscid swift]

who screwed up Halford for months, who brok Fu Shun recently, who have had bugged augments that haven't been fixed for years

[rigid onyx]

is sandy still bugged

[soft raft]

BisZwei black hole no longer counts as a whirlpool effect for one of their skill requirements

[south sequoia]

you mean to tell me the only relevant whirlpool skill we have in the game isn't even counted anymore?

[south sequoia]

oh my

[soft raft]

Yup lol

[elfin hollow]

Is it worth it to get a tashkent gun for hood if I'm sticking with her as my other fleet's flag, or do I have to suck it up and stick with bread gun?

[viscid swift]

no

[elfin hollow]

Oh... but the twin 137 is so far away...

[soft raft]

If I could cope thru W11 with a purple DD gun on her, so can you

And this was ages before Twin 137 existed and Northern Overture hadn't even reran yet

[elfin hollow]

Yeah I get it, it's fine

[uneven knot]

hey guys im playing opsi rn and clearing stages but still not getting those vouchers anyone know why?

[elfin hollow]

Your stuff gets converted into vouchers at the end of the month

[uneven knot]

dang it

[rigid onyx]

if you've never completed chapt. 4 it doesnt reset every month until you do

[pastel condor]

Is the upcoming ur worth pulling or should I save for something else?

[wind hazel]

it's a new UR, worth 10/10 times

[viscid swift]

9.95 if we're realistic and include Kronshtadt

[wind hazel]

close enough

[sweet delta]

There have been 200 URs if one is 0.05

[uneven knot]

how much gold do u guys usually save up for a new event

[sweet delta]

Somewhere between 50k and 300k

[verbal plinth]

300k for ur event most of the time

or try too i cant keep it

[viscid swift]

North of 300k

[cobalt gate]

is it me or is rodney meta harder than the 2 recent meta

[uneven knot]

damn i only got 50k rn 😭

[viscid swift]

Have you read her mechanics

[verbal plinth]

you have plenty of time to get more coins

[cobalt gate]

yep, still not getting consistant 1 shot

[viscid swift]

https://youtu.be/_TC2V5wLszw?si=HIfb8cDwa4M9zely

[cobalt gate]

i don't have 2 ships married

[viscid swift]

Then adjust accordingly

[cobalt gate]

i did, and not enough damage

[viscid swift]

Ain't exactly difficult

If I could achieve consistent one shots with 0 oaths 2 years ago

You should be having 0 issue

No I didn't use Helena

[rigid onyx]

is there a way to get another vanguard event table if you missed run #1 yet

[safe nexus]

to limit break a ship i need a dupe/bulin that is lvl 1?

[scarlet cosmos]

Hey there; I’m returning to the game after a year and there’s some URs I have to be limit broke

It’s between Mogador and Soyuz. What are their roles?

[sweet delta]

If you accidentally leveled them, turn off the level 1 filter and you can still use them for limit break

[safe nexus]

oh ok thx

[sweet delta]

For a better recommendation which includes the new UR coming in 2 days, show a screenshot of all of your rainbow ships

And how many UR bulins you can get quickly

[scarlet cosmos]

I’ll post that when I get back from the gym! Thanks so much!

[slim hinge]

How are some players able to get to level 15 META battle this soon?

[wind hazel]

jp/cn players

[slim hinge]

This guy clearly isn't on CN or JP.

[wind hazel]

that isn't lv15 either

[soft raft]

Looks more like lvl 13

Tho man it's already lvl 15 soon? God I've been out of the loop on OpSi for so long lol

[wind hazel]

ye 15 reset today

[soft raft]

That's crazy

[stark quiver]

im cooked

[wind hazel]

moment of truth for alpha, can p2w 1shot poi? find out in the next episode of Azur Lane Z

[eternal moth]

Do we know why they're doing maint tomorrow and not tonight?

[wind hazel]

i invited the dev team for a party tonight

[stark quiver]

Do y’all mfs have chappy raised

[wind hazel]

120

[stark quiver]

[bright glen]

Is this what I should put on her?

[eternal basalt]

Tomorrow

[stark quiver]

He asked why

[wind hazel]

surely we can just use traf, like kwkzM too

[stark quiver]

I tried traf +aurora

[eternal moth]

I know in the past they've started early because of things like Golden Week, so I wasn't sure if there was something obvious going on I wasn't aware of

[wind hazel]

why both just use either 1

[stark quiver]

Because hit rate skill issue

[wind hazel]

what's your bb hit tech

[stark quiver]

25 and 1 afct on lion

[wind hazel]

i mean, not that bad. just go white shells everyone

[stark quiver]

[wind hazel]

and you got oath too, surely that 6% extra hit will be handy

[stark quiver]

I’ll try out 5 different fleets if I am able to stay awake

[pliant tiger]

Is this gun worth crafting? (Using up design plans)

[wind hazel]

it's considered the best, but really endgame stuff

[cobalt rapids]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab yes depending on ur prios

[pliant tiger]

Already on endgame, and two NJ guns and two wyverns, is there no other UR gun that would take away from its value?

[wind hazel]

twin100 maybe

[pliant tiger]

I have one

[wind hazel]

see if your fleet need a second one

[stark quiver]

If you have mogador gun then you are fine

[pliant tiger]

Ah, twin 138, guess it's ok then, ty

[scarlet cosmos]

Following up on this

As for UR bulins, I can only get one soon

[stark quiver]

dont max either yet

[sweet delta]

then the answer is simply neither, because you should not partially limit break URs

[sweet delta]

and Hakuhou will likely be more useful than Soyuz or Mog for you

[slow fox]

suchimisinformation

[signal fog]

are there any maintenance today ?

[vague oracle]

It did mentioned on the 12th so I doubt it.

[signal fog]

[wicked sluice]

quick question when the new urs out and are they worth going all in for?

[split gazelle]

Friday and we don't know yet.

[wicked sluice]

nice

ive got around 450 cubes is that enough, im new so thisll be my first time with a ur event

[harsh gust]

that's enough to spark the UR in worst case scenario so yea

[patent raft]

How do i get more data pack for f2w?

[split gazelle]

Yes that's enough, 400 cubes will guarantee you hit the pity. Though you need a lot of coins as well

[wicked sluice]

rip my coin cap is 58k

will this event last as long as the last one?

[harsh gust]

event is 3 weeks long

[wicked sluice]

thats fine then i can leave the phone farming whilst im working

[harsh gust]

mostly from beginner missions

[split gazelle]

You can go over it, you just won't be able to collect them from the munition thingy that generates coins

[civic prairie]

Im short on 200 cube left,is it possible to get all of them in that duration?

[patent raft]

Wait that it?? There no other way to get for f2p?

[split gazelle]

I'm not sure, but it's chance based so you could get them in 200 cubes, 50 cubes etc. 400 just guarantees you get it no matter how unlucky you are

[harsh gust]

those are meant to make PR slightly easier for newer players (even tho you shouldn't use it to speed up research lol)
they don't give anything you can't already get elsewhere

[split gazelle]

We advice to convert them to protocore and farm the XP PR missions by doing campaign etc.

[patent raft]

Yeah that what i thought. I guess i have no choice but stick to the grind exp and save data pack or convert into protocore

[dusty pier]

is there any guide how to pick equipment against certain hull types?

[rigid onyx]

yeah, if you do commissions actively but you'd cut it close

[split gazelle]

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

[dusty pier]

tysm

[patent raft]

Is there some meta shipgirl rerun for meta analysis or (permanent research meta shipgirl)?

[dusty pier]

how to know the enemy armor type?

[grizzled sundial]

You can bet DD , CL have light armor , cruiser have medium and BB and CV have heavy

There are special case though

[zenith heron]

some CVs are also Medium so do take that in mind

[split gazelle]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/bosses here you can search for bosses and check their hull type.

[patent raft]

Reply if you guys got intel

[split gazelle]

are you asking if there is a good META ship available?

[patent raft]

No i meant. Is there some unavailable shipgirl meta well be rerun for have chance to get it?

[narrow kiln]

yes.

[patent raft]

Ah.. I see... Seem like i have to wait if meta hornet rerun soon

[narrow kiln]

someday she will be in Dossier, i think

[patent raft]

Uh huh...

[civic fulcrum]

whats the diff between this taihou and hte normal

[cobalt rapids]

different ships diff skills same character
the normal taihou is better

[umbral pollen]

When do you think the event will start

[verbal plinth]

about 22 hrs from now

[umbral pollen]

Okay let me do some math

[split gazelle]

+maintenance hours

[wicked sluice]

does they pity for ur banner count towards the regular 400 pity for urs?

or is it separate

[umbral pollen]

I don't think so

[cobalt rapids]

it doesnt

[patent raft]

What's the best exp grind for database for conserve oil without spending oil too much

[cobalt rapids]

ch12

[patent raft]

What stage number for place

[cobalt rapids]

1 or 4

[patent raft]

Alrighty then

[civic fulcrum]

howd u get taihou 😭

[gilded carbon]

Construction. Otherwise check the Wiki. It usually tells you where to get a ship

[umbral pollen]

How do I get lots of quick finishes

[civic fulcrum]

its jst which pool

i cant find it anywhere

[gilded carbon]

Heavy, i assume. In Case you have the Game Open, go to collection, filter for Sakura and Carrier and klick on her greyed out Portrait. Should Tell you that, too

[civic fulcrum]

alright (i do have the game open lmao)

[verbal plinth]

taihou is special pool

[civic fulcrum]

so where do ipull under then

[verbal plinth]

but id save cubes for ur

[civic fulcrum]

for? i just got another ulrich

and howd you farm coins

[verbal plinth]

12-4

[civic fulcrum]

im still at 4-4

[verbal plinth]

event stages is coming tomorrow good time to grind xp and gold

[split gazelle]

You want to save cubes for UR events specifically. They usually have ships that are way better than any of the permanent ones, and will only return ~2 years later in their rerun.

Friday is the next UR event

[civic fulcrum]

okayyyy ty

[split gazelle]

We recommend doing 1 light every day to complete the mission which makes the pull free basically

If you want more info check out https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips for helpful recommendations/tips as beginner

[tranquil crescent]

uhh where's the new ship?

[split gazelle]

Friday

[tranquil crescent]

i thought it was today

[split gazelle]

JP anniversary does things different I think

[clever valley]

Do i mlb shin or save the 4 mk3s for one of the 2 new urs coming next week

[split gazelle]

save

[tranquil crescent]

how's this?

[wind hazel]

n00b 💸

[wind hazel]

not very good. flag your BB, have a proper tank for your vanguard

[umbral wadi]

I’m new to
The game ANS I don’t have nearly enough cubes for the ur event

Do I even bother pulling!?

[wind hazel]

yes, gamble it

dont gamble outside of UR event

[umbral wadi]

Okay can do

Also I’ve been trying to follow the Azur tier list, but I’m having trouble with my fleet

[wind hazel]

yes tier list isn't fleet building

[umbral wadi]

ALSO I’m about to go the chapter 6, should I make a second fleet uet?

[wind hazel]

no, make one when you're at ch9 or 10

[umbral wadi]

Okay

Can I send a ss of my fleet? Tell me if it’s okay?

[wind hazel]

sure

or you can also follow this template https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

but maybe you have better ships too, let's check your dock out

[wind hazel]

patricia has her aug yes?

[umbral wadi]

Aug?..

[wind hazel]

remove sandiego for now, get a tank like portland, or maybe you have someone better. show your vanguard from your dock

[wind hazel]

this

[umbral wadi]

Never seen that in my life

[wind hazel]

go to your depot, click special on the left, see if you have it

[umbral wadi]

I don’t see it

[wind hazel]

then your patricia is a little poopoo in term of damage, but better to keep using than raising a new one by now

[umbral wadi]

I don’t mind grinding out a different ship

[wind hazel]

you have exp books yes? raise your portland, give her a little level and remove sandiego

[umbral wadi]

I just needa know who..

There’s no one better than Portland?..

[wind hazel]

what's wrong with her

[umbral wadi]

I just didn’t like her in the anime..

But if she’s my best I’ll use her

[wind hazel]

there's no one more cost effective than her for you right now

[umbral wadi]

Aw shucks

[muted crescent]

Portland's very good for how much you need for her

[wind hazel]

limit break her and your enterprise

and mlb your patricia too

keep this fleet going, event starts tomorrow, have fun

[umbral wadi]

Thanks!

[wind hazel]

also when i say remove sandiego, i dont mean replace her place with portland. move portland to the far left, she's the tank for your team

at least when she's equal level with your vanguard. right now helena probably has level advantage, just adjust and see which works better for you

[spark patio]

any things to avoid this suck debuff? i already used command and win the 2 escorts at the bottom

[woven star]

Seems you not strong enough. Maybe fleet issues

[spark patio]

boss is lv 112 with 100 hp bars lel

yeah, my fleet underlv like 10-15 lv too

[woven star]

Recover fleet or how it's called. Top icon near map. Give a sec

[spark patio]

i did it

seem like i have to wait then

[wind hazel]

you should leave these for end of month

if you're still underleveled

[spark patio]

wha…I though that was story boss and it won’t be hard

[tranquil crescent]

flag?

[wind hazel]

oh is this part of the story? i assume it was random abyssal

[wind hazel]

middle spot at the back

[tranquil crescent]

what about her?

[wind hazel]

move your BB there

[fierce lantern]

I’ve got only 130 cubes what are my chances of pulling the Ur

[wind hazel]

low

but never 0%

[fierce lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/hakari-kinji-kinji-hakari-hakari-kinji-kashimo-hajime-gif-15995875640514955845

Gonna spam those 10 pulls

[frozen stag]

when does hakuhuo drop not that updated with the news

[harsh gust]

tommorow

[frozen stag]

how long is her banner my cubes dont exist

[harsh gust]

3 weeks

[forest palm]

if all goes well Hakuhuo drops in 28 hrs and 29 mins

[narrow kiln]

good luck.

[iron hare]

What is the most efficient zone to farm gold materials in OP siren?

[ebon verge]

any reason why is the g7e placed above the bidder on flasher build?

[wind hazel]

c3 or c5 zone

[spark patio]

The quest ask me to move to a zone and i have to explore this boss zone to access to the quest

[zenith heron]

ask them, but because its magnetic is my usual guess, which makes it more doable for most peeps

[spark patio]

like i have no choice but fight the boss

[wind hazel]

i see. then just get stronger and come back

[iron hare]

You can chose the type of the zone if there is a boss node on it

[narrow kiln]

The chance of hitting the enemy is higher, her first skill will work better.
I think so.

[wispy cosmos]

if u hover over each icon or click them on mobile you can read helpful descriptions

[narrow kiln]

Its not really say something on her

[ebon verge]

yes but it doesnt say anything regarding why it is above bidder on her while on other subs bidder is on top

[zenith heron]

its probably because its more accessible and more usable, hence its magnetic, and slighlty easier to craft/ get it from golden tech boxes

[narrow kiln]

Some subs like albacore have g7e above too.

[wispy cosmos]

if u compare the descriptions for g7e and bidder on flasher, you'll learn that bidder has weaker homing. the description above is on all subs with bidder over g7e

[spark patio]

didn’t know what was this feature for…

[ebon verge]

i get the point of bidder over g7e, my question is is it fine if i use double bidder +oxytorp on flasher like other subs bc the site doesnt have that

for context im trying to push w15-3 and 15-4 if possible

[wispy cosmos]

if the site doesnt have it then it's not recommended

[narrow kiln]

As I can say, having only read and not having her.
As long as her torpedoes hit the enemies, nothing will stop you.

[wispy cosmos]

you're going to get less torps on target replacing either a snorkel or hull with oxytorp on flasher, so

[civic prairie]

Is 12-1 enough for coin farming?i think im hardstuck with limited built ships

[wind hazel]

good enough, -4 is better if you can do it

otherwise -1 suffice

[civic prairie]

[undone plover]

can poi torps hit backline?
and burn them?

[simple ice]

I have a question about pr/dr ships.
So i have been doing pr6 for a while now and soon will be done with all ships to at least pre fate sim.
My question from a efficiency perspective is:
Should i already farm for the dr6 fate sims or would it be better to just use prints for those when they eventually get the fate sim ?
(for context this is the only research tier i efficiently did all ships somewhat equally)

[gusty arrow]

Fleet for yudachi meta?

[rain vine]

check pins

[undone plover]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/research-focus/
move on unless u are very close to a hinden gun (the UR gun), like if u have 45+ stay for 5 prints i guess
read this guide to choose between seasons to focus

[simple ice]

hm, i see ill check that, thx

[balmy skiff]

is slaimuda reliable now?

[gusty arrow]

How do I recycle this?

[wind hazel]

feed the blue ones to one you wanna craft

[undone plover]

bit outdated
and as always read the descriptions of gear
also some of the recommended gear is not worth the crafting cost for newbies

oh did ectl update?
nvm about the outdated part then

[wispy cosmos]

is there anything in particular
ive updated descriptions for some holdover gear that was free for returning newbs but isnt worth the acquisition for newb newbs

[undone plover]

yeah I just saw some of the descriptions were updated my bad

[narrow kiln]

Hmm...
How good is donskoi gun as main fleet defensive gun?

[undone plover]

u guys rly should have a disclaimer last updated on XXXX imo for the main page
like the newbie tips page

[wind hazel]

message pop up when you click the blue augs?

[wispy cosmos]

equip some blue ones on random ships to free up space, then use the fodder like kunai as exp mats to clear your storage

[wind hazel]

true ^ 🧠 i didnt think this would cause issue even crafting new one

[soft raft]

Considering that I've barely heard much about it, it prob isn't too amazing or worth it It over the IJN triple 155/triple 155 Kai

[undone plover]

also @wispy cosmos was the raffa gun excluded on purpose for BB main gun?

[wispy cosmos]

yes
we might add it when we implement armour specific loadouts for backliners

[obsidian ivy]

What's the best opsi mobbing fleet rn assuming you have everyone?

[rapid grail]

its a niche gun that's the best for niche application; not that good for campaign
besides the HE mainguns do just fine

[wind hazel]

i mean then why is skyraider there lol

[undone plover]

oh armor specific loadouts would be neat
well good luck

[wind hazel]

skyraider also isn't good for campaign, is for light specific...

[undone plover]

true

[wind hazel]

kinda contradictory no?

[rapid grail]

[wind hazel]

then you have hvar as well

[rapid grail]

i haven't seen ectl since they added the link to the pvp sheet

[narrow kiln]

[undone plover]

I think probably the BB section just has too many guns and is a bit confusing as is
maybe that is why
I remember saying it should be cleaned up a bit back in the day
going armor specific is probably the simplest and most effective way to organize it tbh imo

[wind hazel]

slaimuda x suchi when?

[wispy cosmos]

no, just arbitrary on where we draw the line on how niche something has to be. lot less alternatives for skyraider vs raff gun

[wind hazel]

but havent people been using helldiver or tenrai before skyraider was a thing..

[rapid grail]

lion for the preload barrage
percy or unikai for the preloaded airstrike/s & healing
the choices gonna diverge right after
parroting two CN examples; one featuring dev20 gouden & the other fleet faster at c5 but slower at everything else (not including abyssal; arbiter since these are for your bossing fleet/s)

[undone plover]

double black shell tech

[rapid grail]

the reality is that a certain point, you will start experiencing diminishing returns for opsi mob fleets. really the only thing that matters for decent opsi mobbing fleets are consistency in doing strongholds & fast enough clear times for everything else

[wind hazel]

what's the arizona tech btw?

[rapid grail]

Not like the enemies you're fighting have stupid high EVA to matter

[undone plover]

maybe the debuff field + barrage proc with percy ?

1 barrage since it has a cooldown

[gusty arrow]

Done, thanks

[wind hazel]

i think i've seen another version but with royal oak or something

but that one is c1 clear i think, probably weaker

[silk helm]

there was a video suchi shared of c1 tech

[gusty arrow]

What gun is this?

[wispy cosmos]

no

[silk helm]

#gameplay-help message

[lucid dirge]

what's better white shell or black shell if i using AFCT?

[lucid dirge]

felix gun from research 6

[obsidian ivy]

Ty this is good

[rapid grail]

if enemy has decent eva stat, white shell. this is common build for late game bossing (and mobbing for w14-15)
else use black shell to stack up fp

[lucid dirge]

for exapmle for current meta?

white>black?

[rapid grail]

generally, yes
unless if you use aurora or the trafalgar + chapayev combo for Kawa and Yuudachi METAs; in which case you can use the Black shell because the EVA rate debuff these ships give

[silk helm]

new suchi yuudachi meta vid today? 🙏🏻 😭

[tropic tusk]

theres a guide no need vid

[safe nexus]

im low on oil rushing chapter 6 to do hard mode on it, should i be worried for tmr :D

[tropic tusk]

u should be fine

as long as u click commission on time and lucky for getting oil commission

[safe nexus]

i dont think i am 😭

542 oil rn, and 6-1 to 6-4 are all 2* only i dont think i can finish and do hardmode on time

[tropic tusk]

u do know hardmode mission is only 1 stage *per day right

[safe nexus]

not 3?

[wind hazel]

i mean you should do 3 times a day regardless

[safe nexus]

not the mission but doing it for the bp

[wind hazel]

just 3* the one you wanna get BP for

i assume you want CV retro bp, just 3* 6-4

[safe nexus]

i need 3* all 4 stages in normal to unlock which is the issue

currently all 2* and cleared all enemies

[wind hazel]

pretty sure you can skip

[rapid grail]

kawakaze meta clear fleet + change one of your auxes on all 3 frontliners to fire extinguisher

[wind hazel]

just need to clear 6-1 to 6-4, 3* 6-4, then you can access 6-4H

[rapid grail]

solved; that's literally how it is rn

[tropic tusk]

u can skip if its hardmode i skip hard 6-11 and start doing 12 before

[safe nexus]

oh tysm

[silk helm]

Wish me luck fam

[safe nexus]

if i fought too much and the ships are exhausted, do i force them? or its a very bad thing

[tropic tusk]

107

[wind hazel]

not good, touch grass

ships can lose affinity from 0 morale sortie

[safe nexus]

i afk the fights tho, not really lifeless XD

[tropic tusk]

its normal just wait abit

[narrow kiln]

On higher player lvl will be better to touch OpSi?

[wind hazel]

sure

do anything you want, as long as it's not sortie with them

[rapid grail]

yes, opsi is where you get your late game materials and enhance stuff for gear lab

[silk helm]

Meh not bad

[rapid grail]

even pvp

[eternal moth]

You lose out on XP when they're at zero morale.

[safe nexus]

ah ok good to know thx

[wind hazel]

ngl this is kinda low

[rapid grail]

isnt 0 morale decrease affinity?

[wind hazel]

you lose affinity and only receive 50% exp

[eternal moth]

And have to press continue after Every. Single. Fight.

[rapid grail]

ah fair enough then.

[silk helm]

unlucky i guess

[rapid grail]

dw about it; build up on fleet tech, that matters for squeezing out damage

and also do more opsi for more gold plates to enhance gear on

[wind hazel]

got ply?

[silk helm]

gun? or ship

[wind hazel]

ship lul

[silk helm]

yeh lemme test

[wind hazel]

go try this, max tech

[eternal moth]

Black shell, not white?

[wind hazel]

more burn

[rapid grail]

traf is fine; also 76mm rf is fine

[wind hazel]

ye same for z52, if not enough rld can use 76mm+another good hp aux

[silk helm]

My ships r firing out if order I think 🤪

[wind hazel]

[warped acorn]

do u beat the boss with +10 or +13 weapons?

[wind hazel]

13

[warped acorn]

dang, no wonder I have skill issues with it

[silk helm]

i have a mix of 10 and 13, we run it back tmrw

[wind hazel]

flag your lion tomorrow

and squeeze traf, some fight i saw them quite low hp at the end

[rapid grail]

you dont need to use alsace flag, no eldkai in the fleet for slow

wait i only need to gear swap lion

[narrow kiln]

[viscid swift]

Gear issue

[silk helm]

actual gear diff

goldburn rerun when

[tropic tusk]

and level

[spare harbor]

Uhm when should I be doing meta fights cuz rn I’m barely making a dent in th boss health

[dark terrace]

Hi guys, do you know a comp for Shinano?

[tropic tusk]

just fight and send help / auto run with abit of oil by urself

[rapid grail]

asap
well one thing you can do is to invest on good ships and gear
do operation siren for some extra stuff that'll come in handy
and you can also send requests for world, guild and friends so that people can come and beat META for you

[undone plover]

sth like this for mob/campaign
for boss it depends on the enemy and your other ships u are running with her
if she is not 6 star bench her for now and dont use her

[dark terrace]

@undone ploverThanks, but do you know a fleet for it?

[lucid dirge]

I have a question:
with my resources is it a good fleet for Yuudachi META?

[undone plover]

show your dock
also where do u want to use her?

[late flame]

shinano + either of amagi (cv) / hakuryuu + kazagumo usually

soon hakuhou

[undone plover]

yes assuming u have these resources already
crafting some of these is not really that recommended if u are new

[lucid dirge]

yes i have all of this gear and ships but i have dev26 plymoth at lvl125 should i swap out someone?

[silk helm]

Flagged lion and got my ships firing in the right order at least

[wind hazel]

i guess gear issue

[silk helm]

Still gear diffed

[undone plover]

probably not tbh
dev26 ply is missing a lot of dmg

[undone plover]

are u using the fire extinguishers?

[silk helm]

no whats that?

[lucid dirge]

yes like 50% or so...
anyways tysm

[silk helm]

jk yes i am

[wind hazel]

you got me ngl

[silk helm]

a lot of my gear is still +10 (only +13 gun is the mk7)

[wind hazel]

ye pretty hard to kill without most 13, guns and planes

[undone plover]

are u getting 4th salvo off?

[silk helm]

i think for my BBs not fritz (i think)

[late flame]

i want to try lion / alsauce / rumey / eld / traf - but i has no chapaev
can i replace her with say plymouth or z52 ?

[dark terrace]

@undone ploverok here

[undone plover]

i really think u should bench shinano for now
use her later
she is not MLB and there is new UR that could be better so save your bulins

after we know new UR kit maybe u can run them together when they are both MLB
for now enterprise + essex should be good enough for u

[wind hazel]

nnt tried z52, works

[undone plover]

looks like u are spreading your UR bulins between NJ zwei shinano etc
it is not good to do that
just focus 1 ship and get them to MLB and then u can move on to the next one

[rapid grail]

double UR event tomorrow

[dark terrace]

@undone plover okay

[viscid swift]

This works

[wind hazel]

cheeky yours kill 1s too? or earlier

[viscid swift]

1s before the fight ends

[wind hazel]

ye seems about the same from my end, all ended 1s left

[dark terrace]

I have a question, which is the best Augment for CV/CVL, Scepter or Hunting Bow?

[viscid swift]

Aurora also works

Really quite a lot of stuff works

[wind hazel]

scepter most of the time, bow can be good in plane heavy world

[flat wraith]

I thought that i was beginning to grasp operation siren and clear it without much struggle
then Arbiter gave me a reality check with thermonuclear bomb

[dark terrace]

@wind hazelok

[lucid dirge]

is watasumi notes not worth running on dps vanguard? or increase is just too small comparing to just +FP aux?

[wind hazel]

used sometimes on ply

[lucid dirge]

is it better to use hammer or swords on z52?

[wind hazel]

sword

[karmic pebble]

whens the new ur event going live i thought it was today?

[wind hazel]

tomorrow

[karmic pebble]

thank god it aint next week

[late flame]

#game-news

[civic prairie]

Do ur event provide ur bullins?

[viscid swift]

yes, an UR bullin

[soft raft]

1 at 30k event points (15k for UR reruns)

And for shop URs, you can also get a duplicate you can use to LB

[civic prairie]

So just need 2 ur bullins per debut ur?

I mean the one i need to save

[harsh gust]

3 if we assume you get all 2nd UR copies for free from shop

you need 4 bulins to MLB and you get 1

[civic prairie]

Oh alright

[gilded carbon]

You get enough Bulins for UR over time anyway. One per month and some from Events and then from the pass

[civic prairie]

No worry i saved 6 for now just incase

[gilded carbon]

So even without copies, they are ready in a forseeable Future. Such Games are Marathons, after all ^^

[wind hazel]

you get 2 per month

that's excluding cruise and event, just from 5k grind and 3k from medal

[gilded carbon]

2? One from shop per month as it caps at 5k.

[wind hazel]

[gilded carbon]

Isnt it like 1,5 per month?

[wind hazel]

can you read

[gilded carbon]

Unless im mistaking, it costs still 5k. And by your math, you are 2k short

[wind hazel]

🤦🏼‍♂️

[split gazelle]

5k grind and 3k from medal

[wind hazel]

you can grind 5k specialized core every month, you can buy additional 3k specialized core from medal. you get 8k specialized core per month. one UR bulin cost 4k specialized core. 8000/4000=?

why did you even say 2k short that's wrong maths as well

oh you thought UR bulin cost 5k

[silk helm]

did they change that? I swear it was 1.5 a month, not 2

[wind hazel]

they increased spcore from medal shop

[silk helm]

ah okay and u get one from cruise pass too

[gilded carbon]

Yes. That was a mistake on myend

Just started that Game to check that.

Other then that, both my Reading comprehension and my math Work well usually. Maybe my Attention to Detail like prices in such an extensive Game could use some more Nuance ^^

[silk helm]

hey man this is EN we dont care about reading

[wind hazel]

📠

[red hawk]

if its not in an infographic I don't know what to do with it

[gilded carbon]

Anyway. Back to gameplay

[boreal merlin]

Is Nagato damage buff good enough to take off another UR? I wanna use her with Shinano + Hakuryuu

[wind hazel]

usually no

depends on the fight really, most cases she's not worth

[boreal merlin]

Aight

[flat wraith]

Runing this gear for musashi, I want to give her fire control radar so she can fire 3 salvo in 60s not just 2 as the gun has 21s cooldown.
I use her for pvp and bosses. Should i switch the white or black shell?

[gilded carbon]

Usually, gear-guides say ditch the black shell

[wind hazel]

pvp you need to use faster gun

and not that AA gun for sure

[flat wraith]

why
its cute
currently using my cl only for mob farming 12-4 to grind xp so they don't need it

[wind hazel]

because you wanna shoot fast in pvp. enemy wont wait for your musashi to shoot every 16s

is it even 16 think it's even slower

[viscid swift]

there's a pvp guide in #pvp pins

Musashi runs blue guns in PvP

[flat wraith]

Theoretically... i can give her a Twin 410mm (3rd Year Type) Kai
I'm 1bp short for Twin 410mm (Mod.A Prototype) to give her it. I have more luck getting 3 rainbow blueprints for hindenburg gun that this sr one

[viscid swift]

that top row of gear presets is more typically what Musashi's pvp loadout is

[wind hazel]

no, you give her either one of these

[flat wraith]

it looks so cursed

[wind hazel]

your loadout is more cursed

[tame jungle]

less cursed more abysmal dogshit for pvp

[flat wraith]

ah thank you for praises I have literaly no idea how to play it after years of grinding this game

so why is this blue gun superior?

[viscid swift]

because it reloads quickly, you can ask the folks in #pvp about the nature of PvP and why that's favorable

for PvE give this a read
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

[flat wraith]

My mind is melted
I have 4 guides that people link when I ask questions 🤕
All links say slightly other things

[viscid swift]

what guides

[late flame]

there is no 'bis' gear though - your equip will often change based on what boss, and what fleet composition

[flat wraith]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/#bb_guns
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/bb

This 2 I use mostly
First one mostly so I have any idea what planes do, witch one is better in its gear rarity
and second for general gear uses
don't care too much about what ship girl is best

[flat wraith]

And all I just wanted to know with shell should I swap

[wind hazel]

i mean ashura answered you, i was just following up on your pvp statement

[viscid swift]

for main fleet gear I truly do not believe there is a better guide

it's clear and concise

and you very much need an overview of the basics

[bright tusk]

Is raffaelo really good in yuudachi meta showdown?

[wind hazel]

jimmy tech

[viscid swift]

I have seen nothing to suggest she's better than other options

[hardy creek]

What loadout should I put on ancho?

[viscid swift]

standard CA gear, only point of difference is she wants fast reloading torps

[gilded carbon]

this one got recommended as BiS for her

her torps need to be fast for her skills to proc more often

[silk helm]

im gunna make a video on how i went from 0 rld tech to max in a month, be sure to subscribe!

[rapid grail]

no it was literally gatekept until like a year later after her release, it's good

speaking in #pvp
or rather it was so "bad" it was basically hiding in plain sight

[wind hazel]

sir, it's 2025 now. it's cursed in 2025

[sonic nova]

when's the hakuhuo update?

[flat wraith]

I love this game design
In games you think that higher rarity equal higher stats or special buffs
meanwhile in AL people say to switch gears 2 rarity's down.
I unironically love it in this game ❤️

we have Gangut and "fast" guns.
I saw more cursed sets in my live

[undone plover]

Read from here
They answered u

#gameplay-help message

[hardy creek]

Yeah I don't know why my message got repeated twice 💀

[flat wraith]

The cringe will stop in 1 blue print when i will get decent gun for musashi
at least the guide says the Twin 410mm (Mod.A Prototype) is less cursed.

[narrow kiln]

is pr8 sardegna torps also good as fast torps?

[cobalt rapids]

they are inbetween between fast and dmg

[narrow kiln]

Can you please remind me how to get gold Ordnance Testing Report?

[cobalt rapids]

grinding opsi

[vocal heart]

Hi everyone, I need a hand, I need to find a fleet to get 3 stars on chapter 15 - 3 and 15 - 4

[cobalt rapids]

have you read the ch15 guide? if no thats a good place to start if yes open a thread and post what u tried and/or your dock

[rapid grail]

post current fleets for w15 clear, dock. can help if u not too sure

[vocal heart]

Ok

I read that one to complete the chapters but not with the 3 stars

because it also says which fleets are used to make the 3 stars of those chapters

[cobalt rapids]

did u bring threat down to safe?

[heavy ember]

whose the best META to catchup on dossier

[vocal heart]

you mean 100% completed?

if that's it, yes

[cobalt rapids]

no i mean this to say safe

[cobalt rapids]

none are particulary amazing
jintsuu has some uses outside like pvp and EX
modney is the stronger option but at the end of the day shes just an above avg gold BB
or just do them for their tech in which case consult a tracker or wiki

[vocal heart]

no I have the lethal one

[viscid swift]

Get it down to safe first then

[narrow kiln]

thanks, i see place to grind later

[dusty pier]

If I can equip all type of planes for a slot, what to pick?

[cobalt rapids]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide consult the plane section

[stone sluice]

What ships are people using to one hit Yuudachi meta lvl15?

[cobalt rapids]

im using my kwk fleet equipped with FE but check pins for better fleets

[vocal heart]

How do I make it non-lethal, because I have completed both chapters 100%

[narrow kiln]

This type of slot is often called "Flexible"

[cobalt rapids]

kill the boss over and over again till it goes to safe

[vocal heart]

but you know the number of times it has to be knocked down

[cobalt rapids]

u want to do it till safe tho which means 10 runs from lethal because theres a big difference from med/low to safe

[cobalt rapids]

if you tap on threat theres a number in [] that needs to hit 0

[glossy granite]

I really hope i can put Hakuhou to use with my Shinano

[vocal heart]

do you mean this?

[glossy granite]

as i dont have Hakuryuu or Amagi cv 😭

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[glossy granite]

How tf do you have 434K coins? Is it a combination of farming+only cube spending for research

[narrow kiln]

i think it will be not bad, if you get her.

[cobalt rapids]

if ure active u can overflow on coins when ur only expenses are research projects u dont have to do cube only

[vocal heart]

I'm getting ready for tomorrow's event

[glossy granite]

Ye i got my shinano MLB from her dupes but she just sits there on my dock basically

[glossy granite]

12-4?

[rain vine]

usually higher campaign stages

[glossy granite]

Ngl, what even is the best chapter for coin grinding if you had infinite oil

13-4?

Idek anymore, wallahi im finished

I have 500 cubes but i still feel cooked

[cobalt rapids]

https://suchiguma.github.io/deepresearch/auto-search-exp-and-coins

[kind slate]

Where can I get eldrich

[rigid onyx]

pvp point shop

[obtuse cloud]

one day she'll appear

[kind slate]

Time to do pvp ig

[hot turret]

What class of ship is going to be the new UR?

[wind hazel]

CV and SSV

[spark patio]

should i push campaign or save oil for event? (i stuck at opsi now)

[narrow kiln]

Can you say something about SSV, compared to SS, preferably in a way that a newbie could understand?

[idle perch]

how to clear challenge mode hard?

[wind hazel]

might as well save your oil

[viscid swift]

You can equip a sea plane instead of an aux gun

[wind hazel]

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

[narrow kiln]

and, it is better usage to this slot?

[wind hazel]

they dont have a choice, not a flex slot lol

we'll see how good it is tomorrow

[narrow kiln]

teoretically is will be better, that DD gun?

[wind hazel]

idk, existing ssv is shit so can't comment much

[narrow kiln]

...
Yes, sadly.

[umbral pollen]

How to do I get a lot of quick finisher for building ship

[viscid swift]

Just playing the game

[viscid swift]

Eh I mean yeah seeing as DD aux guns do nothing on subs

[safe nexus]

it didn't work for me it said need to get all stars

[sweet delta]

Fake news

[sweet delta]

Yes you need to three star the whole chapter 6 to unlock 6 hard

[stone sluice]

Thanks! It worked!

[safe nexus]

😭

[wind hazel]

wtf, i thought 3* is for their respective map

[viscid swift]

You need to 3 star all the stages in a chapter to get access to hard mode for that chapter

[wind hazel]

i guess fake news

[sweet delta]

[wind hazel]

if you pull more than 1 everyday you will have none

[sweet delta]

If you only pull on light and not event then you will have no QF

[wind hazel]

wot

[idle perch]

reeeeee, challenge hard mode is feels like i wanna kms, always not enough fp

[paper timber]

About META fight fleet, reuse Kawakaze Fight fleets?

[undone plover]

have u checked out suchi's guide?
https://suchiguma.github.io/challengemode/september

[cobalt rapids]

check pins

[undone plover]

and put 🧯 on vanguard

[idle perch]

yes, but my gear is a mess, i didnt unequip them, i just use whatever good equipment there is

i have all the ships, all the gears, and gear parts, coins, i have it all, its just that i hate removing what i placed for my ships

[wind hazel]

maybe fix that part

[undone plover]

yes u need to use brain for this one sadly 😔

[idle perch]

im gonna squeeze every drop if i have to

[wind hazel]

just save your existing gear on a preset

[undone plover]

sry I didnt mean this as an insult
I agree I dont like swapping gear a lot

[idle perch]

give this man a true. i forgot this exist

ok i might pull this off

[wind hazel]

use them daily and you won't forget about it.
like pvp

[cobalt rapids]

i believe in you

[wispy cosmos]

not that you can equip anything other than a seaplane on that slot

[idle perch]

idc about pvp, highest rank ive got is vice adm

[viscid swift]

fair enough

[sick kettle]

how important are luck stats

[wind hazel]

affect crit and evasion, somewhat important i guess?

and hit too iirc?

[sweet delta]

i get Captain rank regularly

[loud scarab]

the event starting tomorrow on a friday is an exception right?

[cobalt rapids]

if it affects evasion it also affects hit

[sick kettle]

im wondering if i should fs5 ibuki or dev30 Anchorage first

[wind hazel]

anchorage

[agile patrol]

hi
i have 4 bulins now
do i mlb one of these or do i wait for hakuhou?

[stone sluice]

Wait

[obtuse cloud]

wait and see if new one is good

[soft raft]

Wait
We have two new URs dropping literally tomorrow

[forest palm]

little under 23 hrs

[agile patrol]

ouh!!!

[idle perch]

any ways to get F6F hellcat HVAR?

well shit, ive blown thru all my stockpile and could only make 2 out of 4

any good substitutes?

i just need any, to just clear it

[ivory pawn]

LA-9 > BF-109G iirc.

[forest palm]

the BFG is the easier option

[idle perch]

but i need light armour dmg

[ivory pawn]

Ofc, but in case he has a LA-9 or two laying around.

[idle perch]

i do have 1 LA-9

now i need 1 more

[cobalt rapids]

u need to match the timing
la9 is much slower than hvars

[idle perch]

so BFG?

[cobalt rapids]

if you cannot copy the homework then u need to adjust it
as long as u match the timing recc in the guide then its fine

[idle perch]

its impossible cuz i didnt oath and im lazy to farm for cats

[cobalt rapids]

dont need oaths or cats
just match the timings
or just manual with cv fleet and dump the airstrikes outside the threat scan window

[ornate heron]

Is new UR a sub? Isn’t that kind of underwhelming?

[cobalt rapids]

dont know her kit but except the fact that subs are limited in certain content i dont see how its underwhelming

[obtuse island]

there's 2 new urs

[narrow kiln]

I would like to clarify that there will be a double event now, and the I-404 is a "free" ship from the event store.

[wind hazel]

it's the same event...

[soft raft]

Gacha UR is CV
Shop UR is the submarine

[narrow kiln]

I was wondering where exactly I made a mistake in my phrase.
Thank you.
I wanted to say that there are 2 UR ships.
But I have problems with forming phrases in English.

[ornate heron]

Oh cool, thanks

[undone plover]

u should say it is a double UR event
which implies it is one event that features 2 URs

[narrow kiln]

Well, I originally thought of saying that.
But somewhere along the way I lost the "UR" part.
By the way, is it okay to use (mlb) San Diego without retrofit to farm XP for Shipyard?

[wind hazel]

yes

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[wind hazel]

recommended to get her augment, very good. retro can wait

[undone plover]

yeah her RF is probably only needed in ch15 and 13 hard mode

and I guess ch14 as well if u use sandy for her ASW

[narrow kiln]

Well, I'll give her Augment in any case as soon as I can.
I just don't have enough bulins for a retrofit, but I want to do it.

[cobalt rapids]

i would retrofit eldridge before sandy

[narrow kiln]

Can you explain why briefly?

[cobalt rapids]

has more content coverage and more utility thats harder to replace

[undone plover]

neko why did u me

[cobalt rapids]

i mean why sandy asw specifically

[undone plover]

idk isnt she generally levelled for most ppl by then?
and she is great asw and dps for mob fleet

and u will need her for 15 later anyway

[cobalt rapids]

i mean if starter lvl is great asw then yea shes great asw

[undone plover]

asw tierlist wen

[cobalt rapids]

i mean theres only like 3 ships with ghost asw and then just sort by asw stats

[undone plover]

i guess better phrasing is she is decent asw for what she also brings besides asw

[frigid relic]

Just comeback to the game, please give me some advise on what I should buy, create and some team advise @_@

[viscid swift]

give this a read
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

use the starter fleet except Owari replaces Pennsylvania and Hatsuzuki replaces your starter

and if you can afford it I would buy 10 cubes for 10k coins especially with that cube count

[frigid relic]

I bought it, is the 600 gems pack worth?

[narrow kiln]

#bot-spam message
I dont think.

[viscid swift]

No, none of the gem packs from this event are worth it

[cobalt rapids]

no f2p only advised to follow gem spendings in /gems

[narrow kiln]

By the way, how often do you feel there are events with double UR?

[viscid swift]

If they continue like they have 3/4 new ur events of the year will be double URs

[fallen verge]

what does eldridge do?

i know shes good but not why

[red hawk]

So comps look right here? Opsi F1 mob, F2 Boss, F3 level grinding

[cobalt rapids]

big vang ehp boost, auto sync slow, ghost hedge, decent aa

[cobalt rapids]

give eldr to 2nd fleet over port because 3rd fleet isnt doing anything
and sandy tank eldr off tank

[red hawk]

I had her in there because I was doing C1 grind for IB xp and stuff (fdg) and it was getting the most active use so I was trying to get her to 120

but I do have other tanks I could stick in there and just let port rot for now

[ornate forum]

I hate to trouble you with this, but I find myself in a bit of a bind. If it's not too much to ask, would you be willing to help me by composing three possible fleets that have the potential to achieve a 100% victory rate? I genuinely appreciate any assistance you could provide, and it would mean so much to me. Thank you for considering my request! @stark quiver

[narrow kiln]

and how often there are UR events?

[cobalt rapids]

well eldr would help regardless once shes lvled

[viscid swift]

new UR events are in February, May, September, and December

[viscid swift]

for what exactly?

[ornate forum]

For current META fight

[wispy cosmos]

id qualify it by the ships that can afford to take the hp loss from running hedgehog instead of toolbox as well, of which sandy is

[viscid swift]

I guess how much +13 gear, tech, and oaths do you have

[ornate forum]

Uhhh...

Give me a moment.

[cobalt rapids]

i mean thats fair

[sweet delta]

but what

[narrow kiln]

what chances to get an new NP UR in next year?
unknown?

[viscid swift]

no fucking clue

[sweet delta]

my crystal ball has a clue

but my divination skill isn't high enough to read it

[red hawk]

@cobalt rapids like this for tank and OT? Bottom two fleets are just for level fodder on repeat

[cobalt rapids]

eldridge off tank
if f3 and f4 are just lvling then it doesnt matter yes
but maybe u should flag the non lv125 one then

[red hawk]

I actually don't need her in there now that I think about it, but what's the advantage of flagging a lower ship more xp?

[narrow kiln]

Is it normal to ask here for advice on which UR ship MLB is first?

[wispy cosmos]

can anyone think of a backliner that performs better off flag vs flag other than joffre

[viscid swift]

UvH on bosses

[ornate forum]

rpg adventure interface, 2 steam catapults, flapjack, f7f tigercat, prototype triple 152mm dp mk 17, sg radar (just mentioning it), high standard fire control radar, eagle union elite damage control, super heavy shell, twin 134mm aa, 2 twin 40mm bofors staag, single 113mm dual-purpose mark IV gun, triple 155mm kai, twin 100mm type 98, type 1 ap shell, 553mm improved quad mag, 2 553 guad mag and 2 fumos

[eternal basalt]

Sakura 100%. Rest TBD

[stark quiver]

Amagi cv

[red hawk]

Yes, usually the newest event UR if you're using bulins depending on how good it is, you don't want to waste ur bulins on ones you can get from perma pity

Like don't use them on the one you get from the handbook

[viscid swift]

ok then, start by giving the guide for Yuudachi META in the pins a read

[red hawk]

Most would tell you to go ahead and wait to do any URs till the event

[cobalt rapids]

yea more exp

[red hawk]

You don't wanna use limit break materials up right before a big event

[fallen verge]

need to develop some gear for phase 9 of the handbook, but i have essentially none of the operation siren materials, and im not sure how to go about grinding them

[wispy cosmos]

hrm, didnt think about the ships with distance>dmg skills. anyone else other than amagi and massa

[viscid swift]

probably a few but none that are that relevant

[cobalt rapids]

clear anything with an icon above

[stark quiver]

But who are the few

[red hawk]

You'll want to look at the opsi guide and go through the story missions, then you'll be able to farm the nodes for materials and items to buy resources

[fallen verge]

mind linking the guide?

[red hawk]

Don't worry about rushing handbook, everything there is something you will do naturally

[fallen verge]

just that its the last thing i need for the ticket

[wispy cosmos]

actually do we know how amagi cv's s2 scales

[red hawk]

I could have sworn we had a link to a guide but I can't find it

[red hawk]

Essentially- go in and do all the ones with a red exclamation point, up past chapter four, then start opening up the map and doing nodes with icons above them

[narrow kiln]

I already got MLB Kronshtadt with bulins (dont want to make similar second time) and I have 4 lying in currency, accumulated for Souz.
Judging by the fact that I still have 1 more bulin in the dock, in a month I will come back with the question of where to use them.

[red hawk]

Yeah it'll depend on what you get ahold of during the event and all that

But pretty much everyone is holding a set for tomorrow's banner drop

[frigid relic]

Help me build a team for story and pvp am on 7.1 main storyline

[ornate forum]

Thanks @sweet delta

[ornate forum]

Bro is a player of 2years+ and still that far behind. I am jealous of that unzen

[narrow kiln]

Looks like it's time for me to make fire extinguishers...

[cobalt rapids]

owari unicorn taihou portland helena hatsuzuki

[viscid swift]

I said copy the fleet recommended in the newbie tips just subbing Owar and Hatsuszuki in for Pennsylvania and your starter respectively

[narrow kiln]

Will there be any costs for unsuccessful completion of the Challenge mod?

So it's okay to use this mode to look at the capabilities (and animations) of ships?

[viscid swift]

no because quite a few of these fights have gimicks which require specific comps

[ornate forum]

Where do u find this?

[frigid relic]

Back after about 2 years anyways

[ornate forum]

Wow

[eternal basalt]

Commander leak always there

[frigid relic]

When i log in it ppp up

*pop

[narrow kiln]

This "letter" is part of the event of the returnee.

[ornate forum]

Ahh

[ornate forum]

Well, where can u generally see how many days you've played for?

[eternal basalt]

With anni's

[ornate forum]

So... not now?

[cobalt rapids]

if it starts on 35 and scales with 0.0024 per unit then it needs 110 units for max dmg bonus
idk if thats true but im lazy to look deeper its true

[ornate forum]

Damn.

[cobalt rapids]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/farming/#farming_opsi is this what u were looking for ?

[formal robin]

is E 2 hour project better or worse than Q 1 hour?

[cobalt rapids]

its worse

[frank phoenix]

Chat,I'm at 280ish out of 400 on standard UR,with the upcoming banner tomorrow I'll probably hit 400,who should I pick ?

[cobalt rapids]

limited UR pity is separated from permanent UR pity and pulling on limited banners with URs doesnt build pity for perma

[frank phoenix]

Does limited UR pity carry over or it's all in?
