gameplay-help

[whole crypt]

depends on what those fleets are for because it doesn't really matter campaign wise and enither of those are proper OS boss comps with or without Hakuhou

[sinful spruce]

also, you can get haku from milestone?

[wind hazel]

no, you get UR bulin

[whole crypt]

bulin

[sinful spruce]

ah I see it now ty for your help

[magic locust]

thanks for replying at least, sorry for being rude

[whole crypt]

hm 0LB Perseus + Shropshire survives D3...

B3 was how many fights and how many points again?

[midnight bluff]

For Bolster defences in the castle, seems like upgrading only Unity thru Force gives you the biggest DPS increase?

[wind hazel]

5mob 1boss, 80 points

[whole crypt]

[warped tartan]

Guys, is the new UR worth it?

[eternal moth]

Just get her in the first 10 pull like I did and she's definitely worth it

[austere marsh]

rush for facility dmg upgrade , troop dmg only account for like 3% of your total dps

[fluid parrot]

always formation training. gives lots of dps%

[whole crypt]

while I want to cut costs B3 has always been a bit too slow for me

[warped tartan]

Noice, how about the other new UR?

[eternal moth]

I haven't even started the event yet lol

I assume she's worth it, but I don't know yet

[whole crypt]

just grab them, shop ship is essentially free anyway

[warped tartan]

Alright, thank you @eternal moth

[eternal moth]

You'll get her by just doing the event, so no reason not to pick up at least the first copy

[warped tartan]

Yes, thank you @whole crypt

[whole crypt]

worry about raising later

[warped tartan]

Thank you @whole crypt and @eternal moth

[wild sinew]

any1 have a team to kill meta boss yet

seem tankier than kawakaze but less dangerous

[wind hazel]

check pin

but previous team works, just use triple fire ext on vanguard

[whole crypt]

instructions unclear

[vestal raven]

hello this is my first UR banner how many copies of Hakuhou should i get?

[river junco]

1

[sweet delta]

are other people's games bugged so that it keeps playing Sail Away Justice through battles simultaneously with the real music?

[vestal raven]

and just use the UR bulins for limit break yes? thank you

[river junco]

I have music off so I can’t tell

[soft raft]

If only we could put multiple washing machine lol

[sinful fern]

Guys is the anni banner in en rn?

[soft raft]

You are a whole month late to that

[sinful fern]

Wait whay

[river junco]

Jp anni banner now

[soft raft]

Unless you mean JP Anniv Banner in which case yes we do have it

[sinful fern]

But en anni banner is gone?

[soft raft]

Yes

[stark quiver]

yes

[hollow dome]

sadly 😢

[sinful fern]

So whats the current banner in en right now? Should i pull?

[river junco]

Yes

[soft raft]

It's the current UR banner

CN, JP, and EN are all on the same schedule

[bleak skiff]

Is i404 like a normal gacha ultra rare ship?

[stark quiver]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlvPKGZ8BUw

[river junco]

I404 is shop ur, can’t gacha

[bleak skiff]

wdym by shop UR?

[eternal moth]

She's in the shop, not gacha

[soft raft]

As the term would suggest, she is in the event shop, not gacha

[bleak skiff]

So whats this event for?

[river junco]

Current event has double UR, you gacha for the UR CV, and grind event points to get UR sub from event shop

[soft raft]

For I-404....
That's listing the various ways to get the vouchers needed to buy her

[eternal moth]

That's how you get the materials for her

[bleak skiff]

oh but you still need to use ur bulins to mlb

[soft raft]

Yes
But if you're able to, you can buy a dupe as well

[bleak skiff]

Is the new UR cv any good?

[soft raft]

Stonks damage CV
She also finally powercrept Shinano in most scenarios by sheer virtue of having way more damage that she doesn't really need the buffs Shinano has

[hollow dome]

alright, i need some assistance figuring out who to feed some UR bulins too

I got 13 once I finish this event

And there’s a dupe of uvh at the bottom

[bleak skiff]

Who sould I mlb as well 😭 I have 5 UR bulins

[forest palm]

I'd point to Hakuhou, but there's also Unzen
though Unzen is having her rerun so the potential of ticket pulls is there

[safe nexus]

since i can barely clear 3* C2, am i able to unlock SP at all?

[forest palm]

3 weeks to grind the event, things may change in that time if you can consistently grind C2 then move to D1 and then D3 within this time frame, but SP may be a stretch

[sweet delta]

D3 unlocks SP

[safe nexus]

😭

[wind hazel]

13? z52 fritz lul

[hollow dome]

well i got 6 and then 26k proto LOL

[safe nexus]

im grinding too less coins ngl idk if i can pull on time

[wind hazel]

mlb z52 and fritz, then see if you need haku later for whatever reason, but most useful ones right now are z52 and fritz

[viscid swift]

We can't shorten her name

[wind hazel]

then see if you wanna continue for w15 or not, options divert then

[viscid swift]

Haku is way too confusing

[safe nexus]

ey nice i got a SR from pulling

[wind hazel]

well hakuryu doesn't use bulin, the context should be clear

[safe nexus]

Asama is it good? who to replace on my beginner fleet if so

[viscid swift]

You would be surprised

[hollow dome]

true, i did have to do a double take rq though LOL but tyty

[wind hazel]

fine i'll call her hkhoe now

[forest palm]

close enough

[wind hazel]

hollow knight hoe

[forest palm]

it is actually confusing reading haku when you lack any of the context

[safe nexus]

should Asama replace my Z23?

[forest palm]

why is the spread sheet asking acess

[wind hazel]

if mlb, sure. but you can also leave her for 2nd fleet later on

if you're new using higher level ship is better, don't lose momentum in grinding event

[silk helm]

i'm on board

[safe nexus]

ok ty

[wind hazel]

go ping sam i already pinged him once today, out of quota

[forest palm]

my introverted ass is out of energy as well

[stark quiver]

@vale spindle hey

[rapid shard]

Pretty sure its just a Google thing requiring you to sign in

[stark quiver]

Also is there a way to configure who I want in secretary rotation

There infact is

[forest palm]

what do you mean? do you have random on?

[stark quiver]

I was asking if I can choose who I want for random sec
And I found out I was able to

[forest palm]

sad the mini game only goes up to 120

[whole crypt]

does 4 oil clear B3 reliably before safe

[wind hazel]

or at least it didn't fail me

[vale spindle]

oh fuck one sec

[zenith heron]

the highest you can possibly of the event

[vale spindle]

fixed now

[zenith heron]

[whole crypt]

usually the biggest obstacle to lowcosting D3 is slot reqs like being stuck with a CA this time for fleet 1

though for most part it's hard to match B3 regardless, I usually only do what I can to reduce cost so that it's reasonably cheap while not taking as long as B3 to get the same amount of points

[spark patio]

Asama good?

[sweet delta]

Probably a knockoff Ibuki and only decent for torp meme

[spark patio]

colllection tier?

[sweet delta]

I mean definitely not that bad on the sam scale , but she doesn't tank

[spark patio]

huh

[wary skiff]

best recon plane for 404?

[spark patio]

I thought she was a tank. then what was she good at?

[sweet delta]

torp damage and buffing Ibuki

[solar lily]

is the new CV good

[spark patio]

do i need to pull oumi for her quest?

[sweet delta]

Float Bearcat from PR8, or else the only other choice is purple Seiran

[spark patio]

i mean I 404 quest

[sweet delta]

I-404 first copy is obtainable for free without any of the new ships

[wary skiff]

ah i almost disregarded it since it was talking abuot dds

still bidders?

[solar lily]

also i believe you dont need for the event ships to stay alive for the missions, you js need them to be present for the boss fight

anywho, concerning hakuhou, would she be better on a boss fleet or a mob fleet

[wary skiff]

they dont need to live

[viral solar]

Do characters get affection when I sortie with them in event missions?

Whats the best way to farm affection?

[grizzled sundial]

So i wasted 400 cubes to get Haku , should i even attempt to do build 3 ship per day ? 600 cubes in depot . I got enough UR bulin to fully upgrade Haku , but that mean I-401 will have to wait a long time for her turn to get MLB .

[wind hazel]

if in no rush, then just keep sortieing with them

[solar lily]

affection increase also multiplies when they get MVPs iirc

[wind hazel]

main secretary also increase affinity up to 90, can be effective during downtime

[viral solar]

Is there a faster way?

[wind hazel]

mvp rigging+short sortie

[fleet berry]

No, not even the 3 pulls per day. As good as 401 kit is, I don't see her in the top priority list for a while.

If you want to use her x-fleet, just raise her in the dorm + raise her skills in the classroom, but don't limit break her yet.

[bronze solstice]

does resetting cat talents give them the chance to get different ones? like if i dont see flames aggression when i first upgrade/select talents, i can reset points for a chance to see it appear when upgrading or selecting new talents?

[wind hazel]

no, initial talents are fixed on the cat

but the upgrades are rng, so flames can appear

so only reroll if the initial talents are great

[solar lily]

anything on the ryusei kai yet? (the plane in the shop)

[wind hazel]

strongest tb

[fleet berry]

Don't worry too much on the difficulty of limit breaking UR. It will probably delay I404 MLB for a couple of months, not even years. AL is a long game.

[solar lily]

deadass?

[warped acorn]

ryusei/ryusei kai always better than saiun kai?

[solar lily]

saiun is moreso for timing than raw damage

anywho, does ryusei kai retain the converging torps

or is it just the normal spread

[wind hazel]

it's the same as ryusei, except more torpedo damage. same timing same mod same everything, except dmg

[civic fulcrum]

this may sound dumb but what does the event reward you with :dies:

[uneven knot]

would i be better to use my 2 ur bullins to finish shinano or just save for more when i get haku

[cursive pulsar]

Best option to choose here?

[fleet berry]

Personally, I'll wait for Hakuhou.

[split gazelle]

Kazagumo as high priority, and most likely zara/pola for faction tech but I'd get specialized cores first before zara or pola

[fleet berry]

Kazagumo is a great CV buffer especially for IJN anti-heavy fleet.

For CA, you can get whoever you like since none of them are that meta. I'll recommend getting Zara/Pola mostly for Sardegna Empire fleet tech though. I forgot which one is better between the two.

[civic fulcrum]

^

[solar lily]

ic

[solar lily]

I'd say finish shinano first before trying to lb haku

[wind hazel]

dont use ur bulin on shinano

[uneven knot]

seems like im in a pickle

[wind hazel]

keep your bulins

[fleet berry]

I don't understand your question, really.

[civic fulcrum]

how do you earn commander xp fast too

[civic fulcrum]

what rewards do u earn from
the event im new and not too sure

[fleet berry]

A lot of things. Chips, skill books, coins, etc. You can check it in Amahara/Events > Milestone and the Exchange Shop.

Commander level: run a 3:3 fleet in the highest campaign or event stage that you can. Basically just play the game.

[civic fulcrum]

ah icic tyy <3

[cold summit]

uhh u can exchange points for things in the shop, like cat boxes, resources +lvl chips, research blueprints, an SSR ship from the event, gear boxes

[sinful fern]

Is hakuhou the ur i should pull for rn?

[tropic turret]

yo what do i do with 2 hakuhos?

[ionic kraken]

when do you stop pulling on this banner?

[inner delta]

limit break

[inner delta]

try get the UR once

[solid delta]

is ouni good? i saw her barrages being avaliable readily

[tropic turret]

no using on 2 seperate fleets?

[ionic kraken]

i got a couple of the ur and oumi. but no asama. do i try for asama?

[inner delta]

no

[tropic turret]

oke thanks a bunch👍

[inner delta]

isnt asama a shop? i dont remember she have rate up symbol

yea so no need to pull her

[sweet delta]

best gold BB, so IJN sweeps the gold BB podium 🥇 🥈 🥉

[ionic kraken]

okie dokie thanks

[solid delta]

i heard hakuhou is good only for ijn antiheavy

[left wasp]

Wait I didn't even realized Ouni was a BB
so what's the best fleet for her?

[wind hazel]

better than daisen?

[static harbor]

So got Hakuhou but uhhhh, I also have Nano and Amagi, still to early on who replaces who?

[fallow sedge]

How to unlock sp 🙁

[solid delta]

beat d3

[wind hazel]

clear D3

[verbal plinth]

what fleet are people clearing sp with 1:1?

[silver lintel]

Uni ply

[viral solar]

How do ships get mvp for affection points?

Pls tag me.

[static harbor]

Just searched history yeah, she replaces Nano huh, well had to happen one day

[verbal plinth]

kk about the same was using unzen for some reason

[static harbor]

Wait why 1:1?

[verbal plinth]

cheap

[wind hazel]

oil 📉

[verbal plinth]

sp has no cap i dont think

[static harbor]

Yall run out of oil?

[wind hazel]

yes

[wheat ore]

is there an actual reason why people don't fill the team in exercises?

[wind hazel]

they wanna meme, and def is useless

[verbal plinth]

i like giving people free wins

[static harbor]

Don't attackers do like 2x damage?

[wind hazel]

i think 20% more dmg, not twice

[wheat ore]

does losing to other people attacking not lose you ranking?

[wind hazel]

or something, but yes attacker get atk buff

[atomic abyss]

20% yeah

[solar lily]

MVPs are awarded for ships who score the most damage

so generally the better ur ship performs, the more likely they are to score an MVP

[viral solar]

Then whats the most efficinet way to farm those mvp points?

Doing world 1-1 hard mode with 1 or 2 ships and getting mvp for that 1 ship?

[solar lily]

well i suppose, but generally I'd say js play the game normally

[viral solar]

Playing normally for 6 years didnt help

Still.missing tons of ships and em having only 50 affection

[wind hazel]

is there any reason you want to rush affection?

otherwise just continue sortieing them, they will get affinity naturally before they reach lv120

[viral solar]

Ye I dont have time nor resources to play it slow.

[viral solar]

I have 200 level 125 ships with affection 50

[wind hazel]

💀

[viral solar]

So give me the fast way to affection 100.

[cold summit]

[wind hazel]

just so you are aware, if you grind 1-1 for affinity, it will put a dent in your oil supply

[polar lion]

How to reach 300k dps?

[solar lily]

car :3

[fleet berry]

Put a ship in the secretary slot and rotate them around when they have 90 affection. Then farm normally?

[wind oxide]

The minigame still does its thing while we're being offline no?

[wind hazel]

for main fleet, put fast gun, and use a passive vanguard ship, remove all her gun. for vanguard, the opposite

[viral solar]

Nah im forgetting to switch and that takes too long.

[cold summit]

is the minigame easy/fast to clear? havent looked into it tbh

[haughty skiff]

just 3 : 3 D3 and put one in the secretary slot if your goal is to just bulk farm affinity

for a specific ship do what Mori said

[viral solar]

Jus link me to a guide or whatever, like slaimuda github for gear etc.

[late flame]

please do not do gifs here

[viral solar]

There are times when I dont have access to internet cause of work so thats not an option.

Extended period of time can be 2-3 weeks cause of my work.

I need a way to farm it up in 1 day from 50 to 100

[cold summit]

curious, any reason for that?

[late flame]

this is a help channel

[cold summit]

understandable

[atomic abyss]

Because channel rules

Off topic images/gifs are not allowed here basically

[wind hazel]

example if you wanna farm for main fleet

[haughty skiff]

I don't think you can ; the Secretary slot is the only option if you can't actually play stages

Affinity usually isn't a problem since once you get it up it stays there ; i dont really know how you have 200 120+ ships with all their affinity at the bare bottom

i know books but that many books is impressive lmao

[deft kettle]

how good is hakuhou? havent tried her yet cuz idk if shes useful on 5 stars

[uneven knot]

finally pulled haku yippee

[late flame]

congrats.. also #trophy-room exists if you wanna share your joy

[cold summit]

any tips/tricks regarding UR bulins? seems kinda slow to get em from 6-8 cores per clear

[deft kettle]

i would use medals to get them fast

[harsh gust]

it's kinda supposed to be slow
there's a hard cap on cores per month anyway so you can't get more than 2 ur bulins per month

[wind hazel]

just play the game. you will get 5k spcore per month, additional 3k spcore from medal shop. 8k per month max

[verbal plinth]

make sure to do 30k points this event

[cold summit]

so 2 bulins per month

[wind hazel]

yes not counting cruise pass and UR event

[cold summit]

imma do 100k if the oil allows it

[haughty skiff]

you get 8K specialised protocores / month, 5,000 from playing and the rest from the medal shop and that's it

battlepass gives 1 ur bulin, that's 1 / 2x month
during a UR event there will be 1 ur bulin as the 30,000 milestone rewards

you also get one if you're a newbie and finish the training mission thing that gives additional specialised protocores

[polar lion]

How to reach 300k dps?

[cold summit]

great, thanks, didnt know about the bulin at 30k and forgor about the battlepass

[turbid patrol]

should i farm 7-4 or C3 i'm lv 56

[cold summit]

i "think" since im no expert, C3 would be better bcs of the event exchange/milestones

[midnight bluff]

Is wave 100 the end of the castle game?

[turbid patrol]

alr ty

[haughty skiff]

C3 , use a 1 : 1 fleet for the mob fleet if possible

you really want to push into D1 as it has oil caps, so make sure you progress towards that

[solid delta]

should i just farm a3 with a low-cost team

like with vanguard at the back

given im lv 58 somewhere (cant get 2 teams of nice level

[safe nexus]

just got prinz eugen do i replace anyone from my main fleet? portland/helena

[sweet delta]

you do realize that Vanguard is Ultra expensive?

[haughty skiff]

no, just farm B3 with a 1 : 1 mob fleet. also using a UR is expensive

the goal for a newbie should be to at least get to D1 for the oil cap, as it'll let you farm EXP on 6 ships cheaply

[safe nexus]

so ignore?

[verbal plinth]

until oil cap stages id stick with purple/gold

[wind oxide]

does the minigame still run even while we're offline?

[uneven knot]

is enterprise still goated?

[rocky lake]

is Asama worth getting?

or should i just spend the event currency on other things in the shop

[haughty skiff]

still the same as she was before

[haughty skiff]

whilst farming D3 to get event currency you'll likely get her as a drop

[rocky lake]

i cant get a fleet together to go into D3 not enough of my ships are high enough level

most of my main fleet is like 100~ but my secondary fleet is 60-90 (60s being Hakuhou,Oumi and UVH)

[atomic abyss]

Then work on D1 for now

[cold summit]

level em up

[thorn tartan]

i wish this ninja castle made any sense at all

[atomic abyss]

Level the fleets on D1
You should be able to reach d3 by a week or 2

[strange sphinx]

Most cost efficient fleet for normal mode of tge event

[haughty skiff]

farm D1 then; if your main fleet can clear D3 then see if you can only use the bare minimum required and try play the stage

[wind hazel]

just try 5mins online, vs 5mins offline

[thorn tartan]

how do i "repair" my ninja castle?

repair progress: level 1

[sweet delta]

Defend waves to earn currency

[wind hazel]

get the hammer and coin from battling monsters

[thorn tartan]

yah, then what

[wind hazel]

then click the ones that need repair... and repair it

[thorn tartan]

there is nothing to repair. and when i got into lord's scroll; repair progress level 2 is all grayed out

[uneven knot]

does the minigame give u event currency?

[wind hazel]

recruit your toons

[wind oxide]

Oh yea i think it does

[safe nexus]

how to get most exp from exercise? fighting enemies as close to my lvl?

[sweet delta]

Fighting highest level ships whether you win or lose

[safe nexus]

i see thank you, do i prioritize lvl or merit in exercise as a newbie

[whole crypt]

you can't really prioritize merit unless opponents you can actually beat show up

[potent tinsel]

does anyone know how many dream stones we get per day from dailies?

[safe nexus]

they sometimes appear

[whole crypt]

the answer is really just using the ships
you can farm 50 to 100 in around 13 hours with MVP but that's practically the hard limit

your limiting factor isn't how long you can play but how fast morale will regen, because you will not gain affinity once morale hits orange

techincally you could do it a bit faster now with onsen active

[inner delta]

backline is basically 25-30

tank can be 15

[whole crypt]

"useful" is basically always 30

[quaint tapir]

if you're w12 or below 20 is enough for it to not be throwing entirely

[safe nexus]

for tactical class is the priority, unicorn > helena > asama

[whole crypt]

you can level and raise affinity for a ship from dev0

[inner delta]

farm event stage is w/e dev

[whole crypt]

farming event is also possible from dev0

[inner delta]

event stage is easy enough to use whatever

[whole crypt]

the point is just gearing and not the whole fleet being shit

like you're not going to make it using 6 dev0 ships, that's basically the same as going in with full 0LBs

[quaint tapir]

yea, but if they want to use a DR that isn't full dev 20 is about the point at which they aren't just entirely being carried by the rest of the team
or at least, that was the general consensus when fdg came out and event stages haven't rly gotten harder since

[safe nexus]

do i get ryusei kai from event shop? priority is getting asama then ryusei kai right?

[whole crypt]

why would it matter whether or not the ship is being "entirely" carried, it's just event grinds

[wheat ore]

should i skip the event normal mode and just do hard mode for every stage?

[quaint tapir]

ryusei first, don't get asama until near the event end in case you just random roll her as a drop

if you get her as a drop you can just invest the currency elsewhere or use it for a LB dupe if you have nothing else to get

[safe nexus]

i already got her from the ddrop XD was thinking its cheaper to get her to reduce using bulins

[uneven knot]

what would you rec to pick up after the ryusei?

[whole crypt]

chips and arrays

[quaint tapir]

imo use the currency to get ~100 of the UR vouchers first because the UR burin is a lot more painful than SSR burins when you get like 6+ of them a month

[safe nexus]

😭 ty

[quaint tapir]

idk if you need more than 100 vouchers from the shop if you do all of the dailies and missions tho, so +/- a bit

do note that the math as-is assumes you're doing the SP stage daily

[safe nexus]

i cant unlock it im too weak

[quaint tapir]

then hold the currency and see where you're at later in the event, prolly can't get the 404 dupe

[whole crypt]

getting second copy isn't realistic for newer players who can't do D and SP

[quaint tapir]

but if you're short for 404 herself you'll want to be able to buy the difference with vouchers

[whole crypt]

just grab chips/arrays, prints, gold cat box

[quaint tapir]

yea, put the stuff you'd dump into asama towards things you need now

idk how asama's stats stack up individually but she seems to want a team of ibuki + unzen which is not new player friendly to try and put together

[whole crypt]

doesn't matter it's not like you'd seriously want to be building around Asama anyway

for most intents and purposes she's just another event SR

[quaint tapir]

pretty much just a stat stick for new players lol

[verbal plinth]

dont think she will take watame spot in opsiren anyways

[safe nexus]

🫠

idk who to give ryusei kai to

yorktown or unicorn

[quaint tapir]

hakuhou if you roll her in her 3rd slot

unicorn wants parallel tbs, not aimed ones

[safe nexus]

before that? im definitely not getting her anytime soon

[scarlet cosmos]

weird question, is there anything that makes Enterprise's skill proc 100%?

[sweet delta]

Restarting the battle

[quaint tapir]

boss team CV that can use TBs, but if you don't yet have two teams the ryusei will probably just sit in storage for a bit

[safe nexus]

i see guess just keep it for now

[quaint tapir]

ryusei generally isn't recommended for campaign because campaign bosses move around a lot and aimed tbs will just miss if you don't have a slow

[verbal plinth]

good to have when you need it

[quaint tapir]

but aimed tbs are very very useful in later content and you'll be glad you have it

[safe nexus]

is tenzan aimed tbs

i been using it for both yorktown and unicorn cause it was the recommended hmmm

should i at this point just use ryusei since its probably better then tenzan

[wind hazel]

they aren't meant for campaign use

[safe nexus]

ye but i legit dont have a better one 😭 i saw all the aim ones missed most of the times which is funny

[quaint tapir]

you want this or the purple one for campaign early on

[wind hazel]

uh... then i guess that's a yes

[safe nexus]

i dont have it

[quaint tapir]

whenever you get them then

investing in the ryusei isn't really a bad idea, it's good all the way to the endgame so

[safe nexus]

T3 royal tech, i got that the least 😭

[quaint tapir]

just.. not really what you want in campaign stages

[safe nexus]

i will replace when i can then thanks

[quaint tapir]

you can also get one of these from the core data shop whenever you build up enough currency to ease the pains a little since the breguet is the upgrade for the barracuda

[safe nexus]

ok thx, still haven't get the 2 shells tho

[quaint tapir]

and the breguet from core data will also carry you through to the endgame when you start getting wyverns

[quaint tapir]

breguet >>> shells if you don't even have a barracuda

[safe nexus]

that bad ok i go get asap then

[quaint tapir]

like the difference it'll make in your unicorn's ability to carry you is insane

[safe nexus]

she almost max retrofit as well i cant wait

[quaint tapir]

yea retro unicorn with breguet + other decent gear will kinda just walk all over everything up through w12

and she'll still be top dog through the rest, just no longer absolutely carrying you through everything

[safe nexus]

amazing

do i save and only use cognitive on unicorn?

till good ships like asama or ships that i want as my endgame team?

[quaint tapir]

you'll be swimming in cog chips before long but yeah early on prioritize unicorn to 120 for sure

[wind hazel]

i dont think this is good lol. you will get barracuda from opening tech box, just a matter of time

[quaint tapir]

yeah but if you want to progress now you're kinda eating dirt hoping for favourable RNG when the breguet will instantly let unicorn carry otherwise mediocre teams

shells are good but if they already have a white shell the rest reaaaally doesn't matter until closer to w11

[alpine quail]

What do I buy from monthly core shop?

[wind hazel]

i really dont think that's an issue in event, most of the mobs aren't moving at all

[muted crescent]

I'm still getting told to buy Breguets to replace my Barracudas 💀

[quaint tapir]

you should

[wind hazel]

i mean that's an upgrade, not similar for this case we're talking about

[muted crescent]

ik, I just had to buy Indep first

[wind hazel]

it's from yorktown2 event, hvar

[muted crescent]

that's an event plane I'm pretty sure

[split gazelle]

I have 0 breguets and made it through ch12 just fine, don't really see a need to get them if you have other priorities

[quaint tapir]

like i'm speaking from having done the new player grind within the last 3ish months, breguet was vastly more relevant for speeding things up vs shells past the first white shell

[wind hazel]

[woven star]

Is there only one copy of new plain? Or am I miss something?

Sadge. And it's not even UR

[quaint tapir]

i don't know if they've ever had event gear that you can get more than one copy of during the event

every event i can remember is one copy during, one copy with rerun, ... additional copies ?? depending what they do with it after

[whole crypt]

hvar was pretty much the only ever "event shop gear" that was also farmable

[vale spindle]

They have
Most recent notable was was hvar
before chappy gun was permanent it was also farmable in russian events

[whole crypt]

wasn't hazemeyer also farmable in that raid back then

but rocketcat is pretty much the only piece that's consequential

[fallen verge]

what gear should i use on oumi?

[solid delta]

410?

[quaint tapir]

standard bb kit unless her skills say otherwise

[solid delta]

becoz she had the barrage

[quaint tapir]

410 only for mobbing timing otherwise standard mk6 is better damage

[solid delta]

i thought 410 would be a nice allrounder for that

[quaint tapir]

actual damage is lower than mk6 in most fights even if it gets an extra salvo off generally, not worth bothering unless you're doing it for timing to space out mobbing damage

[blissful hamlet]

How good is the new plane?

[wispy cosmos]

the uptime will generally get you better clears than the higher damage salvos though

[split gazelle]

It's an upgrade to the Ryuusei by 10%, rest is the same stat wise iirc.

[blissful hamlet]

:god:

Is it a gold colored rainbow plane :OMEGOD:

[warped tartan]

What's the best stage to farm in the event?

[harsh gust]

D3

[warped tartan]

Thank you @harsh gust

[sleek spade]

is this a good secondary choice for BBs?

bruh I forgot to attach image

[wispy cosmos]

yeah

[sleek spade]

nice ty

[alpine quail]

Is there any use for dupes outside of limitbreaking?

[atomic abyss]

Retiring for medals

[alpine quail]

but since retiring URs isnt very smart i just limit break right?

[tranquil crescent]

WHO WAS THE GUY YESTERDAY THAT TOLD ME ABOUT SHIP TIMERS N WHAT THEY CAN HAVE?!

I need to find them

[wraith knoll]

Asama somewhat worth using at all?

She gives ok buffs for vanguard

[atomic abyss]

Yes
That's better
Always prioritise dupes for limit breaks

[atomic abyss]

Not the same person but I was there yesterday

[tranquil crescent]

You were the one who showed me technically, thank you

[warped tartan]

Which of these ships I can use to farm D3, of course as few of them as possible to save oil

[forest jasper]

d3 has oil cap

[atomic abyss]

You should be using full fleets for oil cap

[alpine quail]

do i try to fully limit break an UR with bulins after i get a dupe of them or do i keep them on tier 1?

[tranquil crescent]

I just did two event pulls, got a 1 hour and 30 mins, and the second was a 5 hours n it was haku

[atomic abyss]

My personal recommendation is
If you've gotten the UR from the gacha
To stop rolling

If you luck out to get a dupe

Then use the dupe for limit breaking if you have the coins

Beyond that
The priority for UR bulins depends on what other stuff you already have

[alpine quail]

haku should be safe to limit break tho since shes new right?

[warped tartan]

Ah I see, thank you @forest jasper And @atomic abyss

[tranquil crescent]

I'm gonna tweak the fuck out, I wasn't actually expecting it to be real

[silver lintel]

Does hakuhou replace shinano

[atomic abyss]

Probably yes

[atomic abyss]

Again depends on what other stuff you have

[warped tartan]

Also guys! How do you all got so many coins? I'm broked and I haven't got hakuhou yet

[atomic abyss]

Farming before hand

[alpine quail]

if byo ther stuff you mean other URs, i only have Tier 1 Unzen

[warped tartan]

I see, thank you @atomic abyss

[atomic abyss]

Ah if only Unzen is 0 limit break (we don't use the term tier)
Then yes
Prioritise Hakuhou if you can already max limit break her

If you cannot max limit break Hakuhou then wait, just use the dupes to limit break

[alpine quail]

my unzen is 1 limit break but i got told to not limit break her further using dupes becasue theres better options

[atomic abyss]

What

You were likely told not to limit break her further using bulins

Not dupes

[alpine quail]

im stupid,yes

[atomic abyss]

The dupes ain't gonna do anything else

[haughty skiff]

okay so

'dupes' are copies of a specific ship, 'bulins' are different; those can be used on any ship within the rarity of the bulin

you always use dupes for limit breaking before bulins, you should only use bulins if you can MLB (max limit break) a UR

[stoic forge]

Should i use the 113mm or should i use the one i am using rn

[vale spindle]

current aa on her is fine

[warped tartan]

Guys! Do you use high efficiency combat logistics plan while farming D3 or nah?

[stoic forge]

Ye

[vale spindle]

i do but thats because i dont grind as much time

it should only be used to save time if you have enough time to do all the runs normally then do it normally because otherwise you might run out of morale too quickly

[warped tartan]

So... Is it mandatory/helpful to use HECLP or nah, it's just optional?

[late flame]

optional, moreso only used if you lack play time

[warped tartan]

Oh I see, thank you @vale spindle, @stoic forge and @late flame

[hoary relic]

who should i prioritize, shinano or hakuhou

they havent been mlb yet

[atomic abyss]

Never shinano because she's permanent

So you should be using dupes for her

In any case
Only limit break Hakuhou if you can go all the way to max limit break

If you can't hold on till you can

[hoary relic]

geez i feel so guilty to shinano cuz she has been 1lb for 5 months

[atomic abyss]

I mean you have better so why limit break her

[late flame]

this is after all a resource management game

[atomic abyss]

Its a resource management game disguised as gacha
Just like GFL1

[spark patio]

Can i skip the quest which use new ships to beat D3?

[hoary relic]

what about i404 do we even need to mlb her cuz she cant be used for meta

[atomic abyss]

low priority

meta showdown isnt the only end game format lol

[late flame]

tbh i'd shelf 404 until more testing has been done + more UR subs released

[exotic vine]

can i use ryusei kai for hakuhou

[late flame]

especially if you already have either wolf pack or fish-pack

[atomic abyss]

you can skip the ones for the chat border
but not recommended to skip the ones for the UR exchange currency

they dont need to survive anyways
they just need to be in the boss fleet

[spark patio]

I mean i lack oumi to finish all

[atomic abyss]

so?

[late flame]

just do what you can + this is a 3 week event

[spark patio]

I can only do 4/5 the quest

[atomic abyss]

again, so?

[late flame]

its not like event ends* this weekend or what lol

[atomic abyss]

by doing them you reduce the amount you need to grind to get i-404

[spark patio]

isn’t 5/5 give us some token?

[late flame]

-# gotta love the lack of reading

[spark patio]

ok mb then

[atomic abyss]

as far as i am aware

for each one that clears D3 you get some

[vale spindle]

yea its like 10 per ship or something

[atomic abyss]

doing 1 less than all still saves you time for grinding

[spark patio]

mb, i just bad at english and didn’t know i don’t need to get all ships

[atomic abyss]

cos to get that 2nd copy, it does take a fair bit of grinding

[late flame]

-# when in doubt check this screen yes?

[atomic abyss]

you can but it isnt very good for campaign
unless you have nothing better

[boreal wagon]

but the last 2 of that screen are basically wrong

[atomic abyss]

nomis, that screen is likely what confused them

[late flame]

hmm ok

[atomic abyss]

you'd need to see the individual missions themselves

[spark patio]

thought the “✅” will give some token

[boreal wagon]

complete event is actually ninja castle but the 5/5 counts your stage progress for some reason
(and ninja castle also is 7 daily missions not 5)
and the event exchange should actually be 0/500

[atomic abyss]

all the 4/5 or 5/5 indicates is how many of those missions you have done

[late flame]

having taken a closer look, i agree it can be confusing

[spark patio]

understood, thanks Ender Nomis

[wispy cosmos]

if ure a boomer with no urin scarcity she'll slot into either fine

[acoustic spindle]

anyone have any good advice for farming sync?

[late flame]

check pins

[supple wraith]

should I upgrade Penn's skill or save for other more important units?

[atomic abyss]

upgrade the skills of ships you are actively using

you will get more than enough resources for other ships over time

[late flame]

except maybe portland's skill that requires* fielding indy
or actually she'll be fine without any skills levelled

[atomic abyss]

you will want to prioritise unicorn

[supple wraith]

yes I'm doing Uni's healing skill rn

[leaden garden]

Is this actually good?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[leaden garden]

Aight thanks, I can use it on Hakuhou right?

[spark patio]

i can’t play much during whole event, that why i want to ask a lots at this point

[atomic abyss]

all the more you want to do such missions then

[late flame]

i'm also stuck at work the whole week - i only averaged 1 hour login in total this last week lol

[elfin hollow]

The question is, how good is it

[atomic abyss]

better than the ryuusei and vit-2

best converging TB in other words

[elfin hollow]

Oh shit nice

[late flame]

-# pfft cant farm plen during this event ala yt2 event

[spark patio]

atleast you knew what you need to do but i didn’t

[late flame]

eh its mostly the same base actions each UR event so its kinda like muscle memory

[wanton dawn]

im not sure if this is gd or not, esp the mob fleet.
I was also thinking whether i should limit break trafalgar and add her somewhere. thank you:))

[warped tartan]

Where should I farm gold? Event D3 or others?

[spark patio]

anyway, thank you for your patience and explaining to me

[wanton dawn]

13-4 is gd for gold but 12-4 is the best place to farm imo...

[atomic abyss]

D3 since event is ongoing

[supple wraith]

is there an option for auto-search to clear every escort?

[atomic abyss]

no

[twin parcel]

Anyone good between these 3...?

I already have New Jersey, Enterprise, Essex, Portland, Unicorn (Retro), Helena...

[late flame]

-# just dont be an idiot like me and use the wrong currency to exchange for coins

[warped tartan]

I'm haven't reached 12-1 yet, much less 11

[atomic abyss]

stick with your current fleet unless you're at the point where you need to build a second, which is ch9-10

[atomic abyss]

then absolutely D3

[warped tartan]

Thank you @wanton dawn and @atomic abyss

[wanton dawn]

ah sorry mb, D3 is def the way to go esp if u arent done with farming event

[twin parcel]

Just curious are they worth investing for future...?

Do they have any use or just fodder...?

[spark patio]

Oumi

[atomic abyss]

indomitable has use for w15 support fleet

oumi and asama have yet to have their verdict out yet, they're new

[spark patio]

belfast enjoyer tell me this

[late flame]

i read somewhere sushi also recc oumi

[twin parcel]

Currently I'm using above team for Boss Fleet & Massena & other 2 from her banner with San Diego & one SR Vanguard I forgot the name for Mob fleet...

[atomic abyss]

i suspect they're owari tier

but again, maybe let's wait for more than just 24h

[spark patio]

what is owari tier?

[atomic abyss]

top of golds

[spark patio]

gold but good or sth?

[atomic abyss]

they've been out for less than 24h even

[civic prairie]

Wise choice to withdraw oil from mail for event farming?

[atomic abyss]

this would be the best time

[civic prairie]

Alr

[wanton dawn]

can i ask what is the fastest mob fleet for general farming in op si currently?

[verbal plinth]

lion/uni/aqua tank/ibuki/watame i think

[atomic abyss]

something long those lines yes

[ebon storm]

Ryiisei or saiun kai wich is better?

[wanton dawn]

who is watame....

[atomic abyss]

watarase i think

[verbal plinth]

yeaaj i cant spell lol

[ebon storm]

Halp ples

[atomic abyss]

ryuusei
but depends on your timing for syncs lol

saiun is still much faster

[ebon storm]

Thank

[warped tartan]

Does opening the second floor gives more slots for morale recovery or nah?

[wanton dawn]

oh the gold from amagi event, didn't think she wld be good:0

[ebon storm]

Ill probably mix and match both on haku to time with my others

[atomic abyss]

it does
that's the whole point for it being higher priority

[verbal plinth]

any dps ship would work imo

[atomic abyss]

it doubles the slots you have on ground

[verbal plinth]

harbin alos works if you got her

[wanton dawn]

what makes ibuki gd in op si...?

[atomic abyss]

2x preloaded torps

[verbal plinth]

and aug

[atomic abyss]

she's the best torper after unzen basically

[warped tartan]

I see, thank you @atomic abyss

[wanton dawn]

ohhh icic thanks🙏

[atomic abyss]

in fact for sub 20s battles she does better than unzen

[wanton dawn]

damn....

prob a dum question, but if u use uni and ibuki, they both have preloaded attacks, wouldn't that lead to enemies taking more damage than needed and not hitting the next wave of enemy?

[atomic abyss]

that may happen if you use 2 preloaded CVs

that will not happen with preload airstrike and preload torps
because they have different travel times and different reach

[late flame]

tbh opsi mob fleet is just unicorn + 5 (i do switch them up every now and then)

[wanton dawn]

ahh icic than youu🙏

[wanton dawn]

i just want my daily grind to be as fast as possible haha, i used to just run whatever I need for leveling up without unicorn too

[supple wraith]

how is Minase? is she better than the starting recommended Vanguards?

[atomic abyss]

even if she is she wouldnt be worth using

[supple wraith]

why's that?

[atomic abyss]

because your starters will likely be levelled

[supple wraith]

we have the exp thingies tho right?

[willow crag]

whats the consensus on the new buildable UR?

[atomic abyss]

at that point you would use the exp books for good ships

[supple wraith]

yea but I basically have no ships

[atomic abyss]

you're only meant to have 1 fleet as a new player

also, spamming build this event should give you some good ships

[atomic abyss]

anti heavy specialist, kicks out nano for IJN

[supple wraith]

where cubes? but yea that's what I've been doing

[supple wraith]

am 20 deep in and I haven't seen an SR

[atomic abyss]

20 is nothing though

[willow crag]

wait really? Ok Im curious on her skills now, Ill go read it

[supple wraith]

that's all I have so far

[atomic abyss]

as long as you play the game actively

you should be getting at least another 100 or so cubes by the time the event ends

[alpine quail]

what are the priorities for Core shop (mo.)?

[atomic abyss]

/coredata

[odd root]

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/images/equip_misc/Core_Data_Priority.jpeg

[supple wraith]

are any purple gear upgrades over blue/gray?

[turbid dawn]

Has anyone got any hints for the hard mode of the EX stage? I can only cheese it with high dmg, I just can't figure out how to not get destroyed by the 'scent orbs'

[late flame]

tbh unless you are going for scoreboard, there is no value in doing hard EX when you have cleared it already

[turbid dawn]

Eh, gives me something to do while waiting for morale to get back up

[late flame]

opsi is a thing though unless you ran out of AP

[turbid dawn]

Yeah I've done all of what I can of that for now, I'm actually after starting since day 1 of OpSi 1 star off fully finishing it

[split gazelle]

c1 farming

[atomic abyss]

Yes

Except for naval camouflage

And steering gear

Which are blue

[supple wraith]

is Dunkerque Meta replacing anyone on the team?

[late flame]

🧯

[late flame]

nope

[supple wraith]

cool thanks

first SR I get and its a sub pft

[tranquil rock]

how good is hakuhou?
she seems like the best heavy armor damage cv but does mid damage to light and medium armor compared to other ur cv

[split gazelle]

Most replacements that early game players encounter are either from

1. Medal shop
2. Shipyard
3. UR Events

[late flame]

i'd wait for testing but seems like hakuhou can replace shinano

[atomic abyss]

she's not necessarily the best at heavy anyways
not without amagi to buff her at least

she is a heavy specialist tho yes

but the game doesnt really need you to have one right now

another light armour meta for some reason

[late flame]

-# foreshadowing next meta fight

[cerulean tide]

Can't believe shinano is replaced, at least she can be with haku again

[spark patio]

why +7?

[late flame]

because for some reason i thought i could try to +11

[spark patio]

a lot of ppl advice me to upgrade them to +7

but why?

[sharp socket]

isnt blues +7 free

[atomic abyss]

which haku

[soft raft]

Blue rarity gear can only be upgraded to +7

[atomic abyss]

hakuryuu, hakuhou
what next
hakuhaha?

[spark patio]

fr? i thought all gears can up to +13

[soft raft]

only gold and rainbow

[atomic abyss]

nope, just golds and rainbows

yeah you gotta recruit a character to move onto the next phase of repairs

And sp

[weak trail]

Tenrai or Ryusei Kai for first slot on Hakuhou? Or maybe some other plane?

[split gazelle]

you ideally want ryuusei kai on 3rd slot

[soft raft]

that is heavily dependent on the content

[weak trail]

I know it always depends... I'm looking for a more "general content" take

[soft raft]

then you should know it's already a futile attempt to find "General use"
but at the bare mininum if you're just farming lvls for her, I guess any parallel TB goes

[civic prairie]

Whats the difference of not having tb on 1st slot

Efficiency?

[soft raft]

Well for one, her flex slot is the one with Fighter planes in it

[cobalt rapids]

50%

[weak trail]

That's fair. I'll just use whatever then

[cobalt rapids]

for boss

[weak trail]

oo

[soft raft]

Note that's mainly for OpSi

[weak trail]

ah, I see

[cobalt rapids]

its for anything that isnt campaign

[hot merlin]

Guys, For a full sakura CV fleet, whom among the four CVs do I go with?

Like in general

[cobalt rapids]

hakuhou amagi shinano

[soft raft]

ignoring the fact that "General Use" is a futile endevaour, Hakukou, Amagi CV, and Shinano

[hot merlin]

why not the white dragon?

[cobalt rapids]

because shes weaker than the others

[robust nymph]

what am i supposed to do in here?

[hot merlin]

Eh I jave an IB fleet that clears everything, and most URs are in my hands too along with most gears. I can clear anything if I want to

[cobalt rapids]

its an autoclicker game
tap bolster defenses and do the usuall autoclicker stuff (hint : invest in formation training because its much stronger than the other upgrades )

[soft raft]

Amagi directly crept Hakuryuu with better efficency on her TBs
And Amagi also further buffs TBs

[hot merlin]

Ty. That happens to be the set of three ships that I own, don't have hakuryuu anyways

[abstract ore]

Should i max raffaello, lion, or hakukou first

[verbal plinth]

Lion

[soft raft]

what other URs do you have? and how close are they all to MLB?
Are you also able to MLB one of them off rip?

[robust nymph]

in the minigame what do i have to do exactly? its so weird

[cobalt rapids]

just fyi 3 sakura cv suffer greatly against bosses that move because they have no freeze in there

[forest palm]

just upgrade the stuff in Lord's Scroll it increases your damage, this only goes up to 120 waves btw and you'll be long done before that

[soft raft]

Beat the wave once, claim the first win rewards, invest the resources in upgrades, and repeat until you get the furniture thingy

[abstract ore]

all my UR are MLB, just i dont have MLB lion, raffaello, and hakukou

[hot merlin]

Also for a general use IB BB fleet, Which of the four BBs? Biscuit Zwei, Ulrich, Freddie Mercury, or Mecklenburg? Or do I do a 180 and put Fritz instead of one of them? And for sakura, do I slot mushashi in somewhere or are they fine as they are?

[cobalt rapids]

its just an idle game
lord's scroll to upgrade ur stuff
u can progress fast just push a few waves and collect ur coins and do some upgrades on facilities
then check back in a few days and max it

[soft raft]

but like who specifically
cuz for all we could know, you dont have Unzen (who is confirmed for a rerun sometime in the near future)

It's easier for you to show a pic than making us guess who you may or may not have

[abstract ore]

Hold on

[hot merlin]

Excuse me? Any help?

[soft raft]

I would say BisZwei/Meck/Fritz even despite the fact that they fucked up BisZwei recently and her black hole currently no longer counts as a whirlpool effect for part of Fritz and Meck's skills nvm

[hot merlin]

Goddammit they fucked up my wife

[abstract ore]

I just dont have those 3 MLB, PR excluded

[cobalt rapids]

thats fixed

[slow jasper]

So the new META strat is exactly the same, but with extinguishers?

[soft raft]

Lion > Hakuhou > Raffello > Trafalgar

[hot merlin]

But got it. What about Bisco's IB FP, TRP AND AA buff? wouldn't that only be efficient with a BB? Why FR? Is it simply because, despite that, dmg is higher?

[abstract ore]

O i didnt see trafalgar not mlb

[soft raft]

if you're talking about her faction buff, those are more treated like neat self buffs with the bonus effect of being a faction buff

[hot merlin]

So actually Fr is better than Using ulrich(I assume she is better than Freidrich) with Bisko. Thing is, I rn have only Ulrich, 23 research Friedrich, Bisko and FR. I was using all three BBs. Also, I assume that since you didnt answer the previous question, Musashi is not a good idea to slot in to the Sakura CV fleet?

[fallen verge]

do you get ur exchange points when pulling on event urs?

[vocal niche]

what type of ship is the event UR ?

[abstract ore]

CV, sakura empire

[vocal niche]

thankss

[soft raft]

No
you only get perma pity pts on non UR banners

[fallen verge]

thats going to be a lot slower than i thought then

[soft raft]

eh not really if you pull somewhat consistently on non UR banners

[fallen verge]

is that recomended to do?

[hot merlin]

Bro? any confirmation here? This is all the answers I need

[soft raft]

that's completely up to you based off of your cube count

[fallen verge]

fair enough

[soft raft]

FdG and UvH are more towards the lower end of the UR BB powerscale so yeah
UvH's gimmick also works against her in campaign

[ebon storm]

Any consensus on Hakuhou and the free UR?

[hot merlin]

And so rn I can use Bisko, Ulrich and Fr? And also, Musashi is not worth slotting in with the sakura Airs, ig.

[vagrant harness]

hi. is it just me but i keep noticing my auto search on chapter 12 farming keeps pausing for no reason. the only reason that'd make it pause is after the sort/expand/enhance. but now it just keeps pausing regardless.

[rapid shard]

Best carrier for Heavy now @ebon storm

[cobalt rapids]

strongest sub and strongest heavy cv

[tranquil crescent]

What the fuck

[soft raft]

You'd still want a BB for campaign cuz of suicide boats
just keep in mind that Musashi may or may not melt like butter due to her gimmick of tanking damage for the backline

[ebon storm]

Wait the free ur is a sub?

[vagrant harness]

im only missing asama on the banner. is it still worth using cubes to get? im down to like 190 cubes 😭

[soft raft]

She is the shop/map drop ship

[vagrant harness]

whats the team for ur sub? and team for hakuhou? looks like imma use my 8 ur bulin on them instead of alsace, z52 or laffey 2 lol

[cobalt rapids]

flasher 404 + 1 from albacore homura archer

[cobalt rapids]

i mean i dont advise mlbing the sub before stuff like z52 and alsace lol

[civic prairie]

i404 has dupes in shop,dont waste bulins

[vagrant harness]

tries hard to forget dropping like 50 cubes before asking this question 😂

[soft raft]

*Dupe (Singular)

[civic prairie]

Mb my grammar

[slow jasper]

was that after you got everyone else?

[hollow quartz]

Is there any use for blue augments or should I just convert them?

[cobalt rapids]

converting blue to purple is cheaper than crafting new purples from scratch

[undone plover]

We have seen worse
a certain 🦙

[soft raft]

just use them as XP fodder for other augments

[vagrant harness]

i got hakuhou around 75. now my pity on event is like 102 oofff

[hot merlin]

Exactly why I said tho I think in general modes(I stopped with campaign since the 10th chapter) Musashi is worse than just going full CV brrrrr. Considering your answers so far. Also I am just going in the event, and trying to get a high dmg situation team comp, So I have my confirmation, Bisko, Ulrich and FR, and amagi, shinano and hakuhou. Btw, is it better to use azuma, Unzen and Shima or go with yuudachi in place of azuma, and if so, who is in tank offtank and middle?

[hollow quartz]

Oh thats possible? How can I do this?

[cobalt rapids]

enhance the blue to 10 then u can convert it to purple

[undone plover]

Learned a valuable lesson tho
Always check the banner info
And only go for stuff that says rate up

[soft raft]

Azuma/Unzen/Shima or Yuudachi
Yuudachi is not a tank lmao, you must've been thinking of Yuukikaze but even then she's meh compared to Azuma

[supple wraith]

should the server I play in matter?

[undone plover]

Not really

[hot merlin]

Nah I wanted to make the most of Amagi trp buff, I though Yuu was better than Azu in that situation

[cobalt rapids]

full faction fleets are just worse than mixed fleets

[soft raft]

not really
unless you really want to min-max your newbie experience and pick a server that has CV and/or BB avaliable in the medal shop to get Enterprise and Hood respectively

[vagrant harness]

but like, i can only get 1 dupe of ur sub?

[undone plover]

Pick a server with a good medal shop rotation if u are just starting
Or pick lil-e/amagi for the newest servers
Or the other ones for more 👴 servers

[supple wraith]

are there perhaps servers with those rn?

[hot merlin]

I have used mied fleets quite a bit already, I'm getting bored of the meta. I just wanna run my favourite factions in one fleet each

[undone plover]

That is fine as long as u know they will be less optimal

[soft raft]

wiki hasnt updated with September yet so dunno
but rn, if you can get Oumi, iirc she would be better than Hood

[undone plover]

And good luck running any other faction besides hms for mob

[hot merlin]

I know, but I dont do campaign at all, and most of CM is cosmeti rewards, and most of MS is just do it again and again until it's over

[soft raft]

Unicorn ftw

[hot merlin]

I don't even do mob and boss. Never done that in azur lane

[undone plover]

Bro has his own system

[hot merlin]

EX always has one of the enemies much weaker than your fleet in the list( a weaker IB fleet got me to vice admiral once)

[supple wraith]

aight I've been LB-ing my Oumi

[undone plover]

PvP legend

[slow jasper]

Meta fleet optimising help

[cobalt rapids]

pvp legend in EX

[hot merlin]

Then OpSi is usually just a breeze too

Anything can clear hard arbiter as long as you have 4

[undone plover]

Which map do u farm for xp/coins?

[hot merlin]

I don't farm for exp or coins. I still have 400 plus cubes, All URs in the game(except some DRs)

[vagrant harness]

whats the team for hakuhou?

[undone plover]

Campaign? Or specific content?

[undone plover]

How do u upgrade your ships

[vagrant harness]

campaign for now. im about to try w15 soon

[hot merlin]

All of them are at 100 plus, excluding the new ones and most of the useless ones

[undone plover]

Check the w15 guide
She can probably slot well in boss
But prob not ideal for ch15

[hot merlin]

And most URs are 125

[robust nymph]

so we wont be able to redeem a sr ship like amagi? i saw that on a tweet

[cobalt rapids]

we got our invititation in our anni

[undone plover]

There is invitation
It should be in the daily login thing

[cobalt rapids]

there is

[undone plover]

I think we get the jp one as well no?

Idk I am going off of memory

[robust nymph]

you mean the other event like a month ago?

[hot merlin]

So yah I'm built different. Honestly idk I just though its how the game works

[robust nymph]

in that one there wasnt amagi

[undone plover]

That amagi is not amagi CV btw

[vagrant harness]

asking this dreaded question again. i have all UR except lion and traf. which two do i mlb here? or is it definitely hakuhou and ur sub? (once i get it)

[cobalt rapids]

yea usually its diff from jp

[cobalt rapids]

they said sr amagi so i think they know

[undone plover]

Z52
Laffey
Raffa are higher prio for w15

[cobalt rapids]

the 7 login campaign gives 2 DR prints at end so yea no inv for us

[undone plover]

I see

[safe nexus]

Since my best is c2 in event do I do a2 to b3 for the 3x?

[undone plover]

We get it for CN anni tho right?

[vagrant harness]

so either z52/laffey and then raffaelo? since i can only mlb 2 right now

[limpid moon]

how does farming b3 in the event work because i heard its better than farming d3

[cobalt rapids]

i think so but my memory is not good

[undone plover]

Yes
Dont use full fleets if u can for easy maps

[cobalt rapids]

only if u can lowcost it to like 4 oil

its also much slower

[undone plover]

Cassin + ranger
Full x-fleet in boss fleet
Repeat until u lose your mind

[hot merlin]

Anyways, I got my fleet answers, ty guys

Gonna get going and modify them

[undone plover]

Are u done pulling event?

[safe nexus]

The more ships I use the more it drains my oil?

[wind hazel]

do you get UR voucher currency from 7th day minigame? how many?

[undone plover]

In non oil cap maps yes
Only d maps have oil cap

[undone plover]

Should be 15/day I think

[safe nexus]

Oh OK thx

[undone plover]

Wait isnt it 15
Why mutuskistaring me

[cobalt rapids]

idk

[limpid moon]

would i just give them eva gear and need them somewhat leveled

[undone plover]

It is

[vagrant harness]

yea, im not gonna pull any hakuhou dupes, and im lazy with event so i'll stop once i get ur sub, not gonna get the dupe too.

[cobalt rapids]

105 just from the 7 day campaing ?

[undone plover]

If your x-fleet is decent mid gear should be fine
If not give them some rainbow stuff
And hp aux for cassin not eva

[undone plover]

Check the mission tab
The mini game is the castle thing right?

[limpid moon]

is there any specific cross fleet that is better or just use any

[wind hazel]

these

[undone plover]

I mean if u are done pulling the banner then u can consider hakuhuo mlb

Your options are
Alsace
Z52
Laffey ii
Raffa
Hakuhuo

Alsus and z52 are top of the meta atm esp since u dont have lion
Laffey is pvp/ch15 goat
Raffa is weaker but very good ch15

What do u want to achieve?
Ch15 can be done without raffa/laffey tho

[wind hazel]

weaker crossfleet will introduce inconsistency

[cobalt rapids]

[hot merlin]

Actually hang on a sec guys, my musashi and hakuhou are both in commsion. Who from SR from sakura do I use for the third slot on the Sakura main fleet?

[undone plover]

Not here
Hit the complete event thing
It is bugged or misleading
Check the missions inside the castle game

[cobalt rapids]

oh i see it

[robust nymph]

is normal amagi bad?

[undone plover]

Shinano/amagi/hakuryuu/nagato
what are u trying to do?
Like what map

[undone plover]

Well she is very old
She was great back in the day

[hot merlin]

I mean general use, the ones answering me earlier know what I'm talking about.

[undone plover]

Oh I see
I will let them answer then

[hot merlin]

They probably arent here now

[late flame]

-# hate to break it to you but there really is no such thing as 'general use' per se

[hot merlin]

For my playstyle, there is

[undone plover]

U can show me what u have then
And I will try and help

[hot merlin]

But so it's amagi and nagato I can choose from. Ryuuhou won't work?

[limpid moon]

im missing some of them so should i just stick to farming d3

[hot merlin]

I have shinano, and UR amagi, but no hakuryuu

[undone plover]

Zuihou better healer
Between amagi BC and nagato I would take
Esp if u are going full sakura

[hot merlin]

So naga chan. Ok

[undone plover]

Amagi CV works but do u need a BB for your general content?

[hot merlin]

Nah, I'm using them in event.

So I figured I would want a CV for shinano buff to work

[vagrant harness]

if ch15 is doable w/out raffa and laffey then i'll go alsace and z52. top of pve meta? im not really in a rush to finish w15 right now honestly. is w16 out yet or nah?

[cobalt rapids]

go alsace and hakuhou

[undone plover]

Nagato amagi shinano then
Replace 1 with zuihou if u need heal

[swift path]

is it worth it to go for the banner AND the UR submarine exchange?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[swift path]

alright

[red hawk]

the sub exchange you can get just doing the event they're not exclusive

[hot merlin]

Ok. No SR CV is better than Nagato here right?

[undone plover]

The exchange should give enough vouchers for 1 copy from dailies and missions
Dont buy the vouchers unless u go for second copy

[hot merlin]

Bro?

[vagrant harness]

is this for me? just clarifying

[swift path]

no i just plan to exchange from the shop and pull for the banners, is that right?

[red hawk]

you can go to your 1 daily pull once you get the UR

[undone plover]

Probably not
Nagato with 5 other sakura is very good

[hot merlin]

Great.

[undone plover]

Musashi better ofc but u said she is in commission

[red hawk]

yeah, do your event pulls for hak, and then the orbs from dailies and stuff for event should give you enough for exchange without buying more in shop

[undone plover]

Yeah just get the 1st copy with your daily vouchers
U should go for second copy if u are new and can clear SP

[robust nymph]

when the skins get released are they usually for amagi cv or normal amagi?

[red hawk]

is she one I should get 1+ copy of and just let her sit for now as a newer player? how soon would she be worth trying to MLB

[vagrant harness]

last q probably. but what content is hakuhou good rn? meta battle? and i dont have enough game knowledge to understand how op a ur sub could be or like how high is the potential?

[red hawk]

because I already have hakuhou I need to finish

[undone plover]

The new oath skin is amagi CV
And she has her own l2d skin
But so does amagi BC
U can check wiki
Sadly they cant be shared

If I had to guess I would say amagi CV is more likely to get new skins
But this is a pure guess based on almost nothing

[undone plover]

Good CV for campaign
Excellent in heavy armor bossing

[robust nymph]

how do you get amagi cv?

[undone plover]

Her own event
Wont rerun for a while tho

[red hawk]

wait on rerun

[undone plover]

When u do the math and u see you have a surplus bulin count
Realistically not for a while
Remember unzen is more prio

[vagrant harness]

and like im so active in game right now, i can prolly get 4 ur bulin in 1-2 months

[red hawk]

yeah that's kinda what I figured, it's gonna rot, but she's still worth geting the second copy

[undone plover]

And yes u if u can clear SP go for the second copy it is worth it in the long run

[red hawk]

it's 2 per month right?

[tropic tusk]

will this increase past 90 affinity?

[red hawk]

plus every 2 months cruise pass so 2.5?

[vagrant harness]

is hindenburg like top 3 vanguard or something? i can dev 30 her, is it worth?

[undone plover]

2 per month and 1 per 2 months
1 per new UR event
And 1 per rerun UR

[undone plover]

For dps maybe
But she has almost 0 utility besides that
And the only pure dps ship that has seen consistent use so far is probably unzen

I would go for pr7/pr8 and not wait for hindenburg unless u are very close

[red hawk]

considering the pace that UR's come available at, that's not too bad honestly, 5 every 2 months essentially, that's one full ship MLB and we aren't getting a new UR available every 2 months

[supple wraith]

where would yall estimate Oumi to place in the tier list?

[red hawk]

do they usually have two UR's per event or was this special

[undone plover]

Sushi was saying she might be around top of SR BB
But wait for his video and check it out then
I dont know what I am talking about
Tldr she is good

[ivory linden]

double ur was only for the christams ur and cn anniversary buy they changed it this year and did a double ur for jp anni

[undone plover]

Started with guam laffey event
Dec 2023
We had dec and may slots double UR since then
And this is the first double UR September slot

[soft raft]

Fritz Runey was a double UR and in Feb so lol

[ivory linden]

fritz was christmas raff was feb

[red hawk]

so there's a chance it'll be like this going forward depending on the event

[soft raft]

Oh wait right

[undone plover]

No one knows

But not wasting bulins is a good idea

[red hawk]

right I just mean there's precedent so saving is good

[undone plover]

Dont hoard bulins
Use on good ships
U will likely be in bulin debt for a while
But yes be selective in your limit breaks
In general be selective with limited resources

[red hawk]

I tell you what kills you early is retrofit cruiser prints

[vagrant harness]

i havent had the need to mlb a gold ship in a long time now lol. altho i heard bois belleau is really good? didnt get her tho, just assena

[red hawk]

everything uses them including the early PR

and three of the first ships people are recommended

[cobalt rapids]

bois is only a 50% fast launcher for opsi fast clears
she doesnt compete otherwise in meta

[undone plover]

Well sandy and helena rf is not rly a priority

But yes cruiser prints are always needed
Esp for shipyard

[supple wraith]

icic thanks, should I go for the 406 or the 410 gun on her?

[undone plover]

That idk
I am personally not a fan of the purple 410 a lot
I dont remember using it for a long time
Unless it is for musashi

[vagrant harness]

i remember there was a feature that u can exchange for gold retrofit prints and then i selected only one and i got like 46 gold retrofit prints out of it and was deep in the retrofit print jail for some time lol. forgot what feature that was though now

[undone plover]

Was this another akashi scam

[cobalt rapids]

oumi takes standard guns following qgg

[supple wraith]

qgg?

[red hawk]

not priority, just saying that a lot of the early stuff you're recommended to use and research all happen to share resources unfortunately, so you have to really prioritize, compared to say battleship which you swim in

[cobalt rapids]

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

[wind hazel]

quick gear guide

[undone plover]

True

[red hawk]

not that you need to have everything maxed right away of course

[supple wraith]

oh icic lemme check that out

[wind hazel]

should add /qgg to command

[vagrant harness]

proof that it did happen. i have 70 cruiser prints for some reason lmao

[undone plover]

Remember u can craft up t1 prints into t2

[cobalt rapids]

maybe u whale

or maybe it akashi homecoming campaign

[undone plover]

Yeah it could be that

[vagrant harness]

yenno what its probably the latter, never spent a dime on this game xD

[supple wraith]

bruh SR MLB costs 10k gold, but mah builds

[undone plover]

If u have a decent fleet already no need to rush to change anything yet

[red hawk]

so does their 110 and 115 awakening

[undone plover]

Wait till u see UR cost

[supple wraith]

my highest is level 70 atm pushing chapter 6, maybe I'll hold off for now

[undone plover]

Push event

[supple wraith]

definitely did not spend 1k or smthing of oil farming A3

[red hawk]

is it 20k for 110 my shinano just hit it

I know it's 25k for mlb

[wispy cosmos]

oumi should probably run 410 for campaign purposes imo

[undone plover]

33k for 100>120
I forgot the mlb but sth similar

[red hawk]

I assumed it would cost more based on MLB and how SR was tiered

[wispy cosmos]

but im an advocate of twins for barragers in campaign, and im sure others have different opinions on the importance of uptime

[wind hazel]

her skill seem to favour fast guns

[red hawk]

if I don't have a wealth of BB's (hood nina penny weevee) would oumi be possibly worth investing in?

[cobalt rapids]

it doesnt

[wind hazel]

no? the 2nd skill change based on firing though

[cobalt rapids]

does fdg prefer fast guns ?

[wind hazel]

idk fdg

[undone plover]

Just use 457 everywhere

[supple wraith]

is the twin 380 gold any good?

[wispy cosmos]

yeah, it doesnt matter

[undone plover]

Not really

I think it is ok poverty AP gun?
But just get a champy/flan gun

[wind hazel]

why it doesnt matter? isn't it better in longer fight?

[supple wraith]

aight, what else do I do in the Ninja Castle after clearing to 120?

[undone plover]

Just visit daily for the 15 vouchers I think

[wispy cosmos]

u have 50% on either fp/eva buff anyway, what does shortening the changeover time do

[cobalt rapids]

the uptime on the buffs is the same
the only thing u get more with fast guns is that debuff which is w.e

[wind hazel]

so that you can get fp buff quicker?

[cobalt rapids]

and lose it quicker

[undone plover]

But u also lose it quicker

Probably the salvo timings matter most

[supple wraith]

does 3-starring the event stages matter?

[wispy cosmos]

what asinine scenario r u thinking of where giving oumi a twin gun gets her an extra fp buff period in a fight

[undone plover]

For choice of gun

[wind hazel]

well i guess it depends on the map

[cobalt rapids]

shes just using the standard bb gun

[soft raft]

you can get a few extra rewards

[obtuse island]

For the quests

[cobalt rapids]

457 for late campaign and for bossing she follows the 20s chart

[undone plover]

Would she get 5 salvo in meta neko?
Cuz of her 20% rld thing?

Or did I read that skill wrong

[cobalt rapids]

with 457?

[wind hazel]

i mean you are the one agreeing on using twin410
