gameplay-help

[wind hazel]

it includes her

[wispy cosmos]

or rather you'll get more than enough from the oxytorps youre running already anyway

[whole crypt]

the point is when it's not hard to actually have everything it's easier to just have the options available whenever

[stone sluice]

Is it possible to get an extra proc of torps like g7es with high reload?

[whole crypt]

main acc just dropped EX with guild op fleet

[wispy cosmos]

yes, 404 can do 3 reloads of g7e if you have good cats

[pastel mesa]

Hey i was looking at the event spreadsheet and in shop priority it says to get 1 copy of Asama, however i luckly got one from b3 (b3 is currently my limit, will try hard mode in few days) should i sitll get one from event exchange?

[verbal plinth]

you can skip it if you got a drop

[pastel mesa]

Alrighty ty, also i was wondering.. should i prioritize in using oil for the event and put the story on hold for now? i have around 12k phoenix feather and since the best i can clear is b3 i get up to only 80 feathers each clear

[wind hazel]

keep doing event

[pastel mesa]

Okay thanks, i'll keep going then

[sage wyvern]

Is there a way to hide these?

[safe nexus]

do i need to get 3* to start reducing threat lvl?

how to reduce? i cant beat boss

[sweet delta]

the boss does, in fact, move for 45 seconds and stop for 10 seconds

[stark quiver]

dont do tactical training

[sweet delta]

beat boss reduces threat level. If you can't beat boss then you can't 3 star anyways

[stark quiver]

Or see if any of these work, if not look for other settings

[safe nexus]

i almost beat boss is the sad thing 😭

[sweet delta]

you do need to get 100% before threat level can be reduced though

[wind hazel]

manual it

[safe nexus]

ye i actually gotta manual it, and spam give repair toolkit

[lyric night]

Is the event on day 4 right now?

[safe nexus]

still die 😭

[wind hazel]

what are you using? at what map?

[safe nexus]

D1, pennsy unicorn yorktown portland helena Z23

[wind hazel]

show gear

[safe nexus]

i think its gear issue as their lvl is like 6-7 nly XD

too broke to build them

[lyric night]

So means we should have received the following amount of dream stones?

daily mission 45=20
SP 4 * 5 = 20
Mini game mission 415=60
SP first clear 50
Clear B3/D3 boss with new ships 50

For a total of 200?

[wind hazel]

ye should be 200, i just exchanged mine from this reset

[sage wyvern]

Didn't work

[wind hazel]

no way to prevent it from appearing other than finishing it

[lyric night]

Gotcha, thanks 🫡

[sage wyvern]

[safe nexus]

how to unlock oil cap for D1? do i need 3*

[silk saffron]

Hey all, I was wondering (currently around end of chap 10, started opsi a bit late and can't craft any good gear yet) is it best to start investing early in good URs (Vanguard, Shinano..) or should I instead focus on more cheap stuff like purple or SSRs ?

[wind hazel]

no just clear boss once

[safe nexus]

ty

[wind hazel]

invest in good ships that you can max limit break

[noble pawn]

There's better gold ship max limit break than non limit break UR

[silk saffron]

Right so URs aren't the way to go then. Tysm !

[safe nexus]

unicorn heal based on her max hp or the max hp of the ship she heals?

[zenith heron]

The Latter you said

[safe nexus]

oh ok thx

[agile sky]

working on awakening all my Ultra ships but im low on coins. Should i work on 1 ship at a time to 125? Or spread them out and get them all to 105, then 110 etc.

Fyi, this is just in regards to their awakening, exp farming would be for later...

[zenith heron]

Better One at a Time, its the same when Max Limit Breaking a Ship, you usually use a ship in most contents in their full potential

[zenith heron]

Especially if you know which UR to Prioritize first

[safe nexus]

when does daily reset?

[split gazelle]

now

[zenith heron]

less than a minute

[safe nexus]

oh hey lol thx

[agile sky]

gotcha. thnx

[round basin]

Who should I limit break?

[zenith heron]

the only time you can use a non mlb ship if you usually grind them in Lower levels for EXP, as long as said ship can handle said level, and a Non MLB Fleet is not advisable whatsoever

[zenith heron]

May I know how many Bulins you have on storage?, Other than One on Dock?

[round basin]

I got like 60k rainbow cores

[noble pawn]

he has 2 Lion with level above 1 and 2 rest damn

I'm pretty much you just can uncap Lion freely

[zenith heron]

you can go Lion>Z52>Trafalgar>Hakuhou=Amagi CV in that order

[stark quiver]

[verbal plinth]

raff or haku for bullins leaning raff but idk

or soyuz

[zenith heron]

Hakuhou straight up

[wind hazel]

this is kinda one of the scenario that i think up to you

[verbal plinth]

soyuz would fit light better i dont really got a good fleet for it

biz/alace/xxx

[wind hazel]

soyuz, your nakhimov isn't dev30, slight upgrade for triple BB but vanguard+zwei alsace are still good
hakuhou, we don't have heavy boss that need her right now
raff, you have musashi, unless you're missing aquila then raff might be better for w15

[verbal plinth]

kk ill think about it worst case ill just save untill i need one

[safe nexus]

do i still do the quest for build 3 ship?

[wind hazel]

unless you're still pulling for event banner, no

[safe nexus]

ko thx

[livid wyvern]

Does UR exchange for Special Gacha reset when a new UR is added?

[zenith heron]

its separated from the Event Banner, so it doesn't reset

[livid wyvern]

Oh shit Musashi is this or next month

[wind hazel]

no idea but it's soon

[rapid shard]

Eldridge finally show'd up in my Merit shop. I got her retro piece but gonna be a bit before i can complete it. Is she still really solid without it or does she need the retro like unicorn

[stark quiver]

shes ass without retro

[rapid shard]

Damn i was hoping she was at least decent without it

For NJ loadout for would HSFCR/White Shell for the crit dmg boost be better or Black shell? Finally got first HSFCR and trying to get her kitted better

[forest palm]

Lv 120

[wind hazel]

white is better most of the time

[rapid summit]

When I dev Agir to level 30 should I replace regenburgs or Otto von for her?

[near cargo]

What's good Auxiliary for I-401? I've never built a submarine before

[wind hazel]

oxytorp pressure hull if plebs

[warped tartan]

How do I accomplish the last one?

[muted wind]

put a bulin into your fleet and win a battle. do like 1-1

[uncut wren]

Best equipment for hakuohu?

[wispy cosmos]

@boreal wagon how many ship skills are accounted for in the calculator?

[dry meteor]

What should I buy in the event shop?
All in on the balls?

[boreal wagon]

too many to count lol

its like 900+

[vale spindle]

thats like between 50-75% of all skills waozers

but not all skills are combat related

[boreal wagon]

well it does also include every version of a skill (retro, augment, etc) and equips

[vale spindle]

that is true

i just guesstimated 2-2.5 skills / ship on average

[wispy cosmos]

would u be fine with ectl directing people looking for a fleetbuilder to your calculator? there's still people using our shitty one for some reason and yours has basically all the features i ever dreamed of

[boreal wagon]

go ahead so long as you somewhat direct them it is complicated to use and only surface level

[ionic kraken]

is there a max level for fleet tech?

[forest palm]

10

[vale spindle]

for the faction ones yet

[forest palm]

is it 9? I haven't looked at that screen in ages

[boreal wagon]

it is

its even 9 for all of them now since kms caught up

[forest palm]

I don't know if I'd call that catching up, but sure

[boreal wagon]

well yeah but u get what i mean

[frozen stag]

Is there a list for all the ships that rotate in the merit shop or is it random I'm just waiting for Eldridge

[split gazelle]

it's random yeah

[forest palm]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Shops#Merit_Shop

[vale spindle]

The ship in the shop is randomly chosen from a set of options

[frozen stag]

ah okay thanks, also do i make a thread to send my dock for fleet/pr/opsi advice

[vale spindle]

Yes

[frozen stag]

Opsi Campaign Pr/research fleet help

[runic bluff]

any thoughts on essex kai?

[supple wraith]

what skills are prio to level for Hakuhou?

[cobalt rapids]

Strong ur carrier but not at the top of the meta

[cobalt rapids]

Doesnt rly matter, you can do them in order

[zenith heron]

as strong as Hakuryuu on her own Accord, just your Normal Average UR CV

[cobalt rapids]

You mean again carriers ? U pick ammo based on armor not hulls

And in the end ammo isnt the only factor to decide either way

Carriers could be medium or heavy which means different guns

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

heavy

[boreal blaze]

i am soon reaching 120 on Hood so im rethinking who could replace her as a Flaghship for mob fleet, or should i just use watever until i hit W 10 ?
Thread : https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1416106964613726321

[rapid summit]

Why do some dr/pr ships take opposite faction tech points like iron blood and eagle union don’t fit unless I’m missing lore or something

[warped acorn]

what abt hard ex

[boreal wagon]

its because when they were released there werent many ships of that faction so they just made it easier

[boreal wagon]

that is hard but both are the same anyway in terms of armor

[cobalt rapids]

Its better to push w12 before restructuring but if u grind event then lvl oumi

[cobalt rapids]

Same

[rapid summit]

Ohhhh wouldn’t it make sense making it an allied faction like Royal Navy instead of iron blood

[boreal wagon]

iris used allied, vichya used axis (as secondary faction)

which aligns with the aligment they have

[boreal blaze]

yes grinding the even right now so don't wanna waste Exp

[verbal plinth]

fixed finally

[short geyser]

Is Zwei, Lion and Vanguard in a single team a good idea? I wanna invest in them but I'm still a bit nervous since it's a huge investment

[stable badger]

120 is the max level for the castle defense mini game?

[split gazelle]

for what content? bis2 and lion aren't bad investments

[dusk dirge]

Vanguard is good, but has been overshadowed by Alsace if you have her.

Vanguards damage is low but provides good buffs to other BB’s.

[hoary relic]

bis 2 and lion are good investment for nearly all contents

while vanny is niche since alsace is better than her

alsace would rerun in april 2026 or maybe a bit later idk so i guess u can use vanny for a while

[nova burrow]

Do the torp bombers from the event bring any special value (like intercepting) or are they as trash as the stats seem to indicate?

[undone plover]

They are just upgraded ryuuseis
So essentially the best converging TB we have
Mainly used in bossing with a stopper

If u are comparing the stats vs sth like wyvern it will look bad because wyvern is a parallel torp homber and <50% of the dmg will actually land vs a single target
Wyvern is good in mobbing

[robust nymph]

is it worth doing these? i dont like the idea of farming 10 times these earlier stages with ships im not interested in

[crimson glacier]

those are just if you need more points for the border

so do you need more for the border

[robust nymph]

real question is do i care about the border

[crimson glacier]

and this place cant answer that

[robust nymph]

probably not, im surprised i still dont have the submarine, should i have it by now? ive been doing dailies everyday

[wind hazel]

if you did everything since day 1, yes

[gilded carbon]

The Scepter is quite bad on Uni, isnt it. Giving the Fleet AVI for a short duration... On the first Launch. On Uni, who has pre-load. Bow it is
(Until she gets a unique One wich will make her even more broken)

[crimson glacier]

imo scepter is always better on her

[gilded carbon]

Why?

[crimson glacier]

evasion

[gilded carbon]

So less bothering with the ability and more about Stats

[crimson glacier]

the skill does nothing anyway on both

[wind hazel]

you only ever consider using bow for w13 and w15

the rest you just slap a scepter

[gilded carbon]

Will craft a few then after Haku is mlb

[tranquil crescent]

how do i farm for exp? im lvl 78 and i wanna get to lvl 80

[atomic abyss]

Same thing you've been doing

Grind something
Probably the event with full fleet

[vivid nebula]

Is it a good idea to grind for the 404 dupe? From where I am currently at, I need 37,160 event points to buy it.

[late flame]

the dupe is just an overpriced bulin but if you have gotten everything else you need from shop why not

[vivid nebula]

I actually barely bought anything from the shop apart from: Asama, 10x UR BPs, Ryusei Kai, and the first 404 dupe

What else here are sound buys?

Only thing I can imagine are maybe these?

[cunning bison]

generally, i want vanguard -> alsace -> lion right? for bb timing

[atomic abyss]

Yes

[atomic abyss]

Arrays at the very least
I believe the shop priority is pinned in the link

[cunning bison]

oh no how do i get the timings right...

[atomic abyss]

Vanguard naturally has high reload

So that's not an issue

As for the rest

Just use slightly different triple guns

[cunning bison]

thats the problem shes too fast...

[atomic abyss]

What

/calc

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Calculator for precise fleet reload times by mrlar

[atomic abyss]

In any case that's the best way for you to test out

There's always gonna be a gap between BBs

[atomic abyss]

Because of the reload jamming

BB guns can't launch simultaneously

[cunning bison]

ty!

[hoary relic]

use the t-pose radar to adjust ig

[hollow quartz]

What is the best way to get DR bps other than using catch up?

[solid delta]

The cogs

[cunning bison]

ah okie

[supple wraith]

does Sandy want one of those Barrage guns?

[solid delta]

Check al community guide if there’s nothing special you’re facing

[wind hazel]

because of bug, no

[short geyser]

Aights thx Col and Simon, I'll probably wait until April then for Alsace. Imma divert resources to Haku for a while

[split gazelle]

do we have an estimate on when musashi will be added to perm pool?

[supple wraith]

what bug?

also, how do I know my OpSi chapter progress?

[safe nexus]

yay i beat D1!!!!, how does cost limit work

[muted wind]

basically, if sandy's gun fires too quickly, the extra skill bullets won't proc on every shot, so may as well take a slower gun with better damage

[safe nexus]

thx

[supple wraith]

so just use a standard gun on her, aight

is it just me or is Hakuhou not yet in the azure fleet maker but also I saw Mori show me a screenshot of her in it but I can't find her on my end

[safe nexus]

it says dmg reduction receive when sortieing, does this count when i only press go and manual the whole stage?

[eternal moth]

She's there for me. Make sure to refresh the page.

Which fleet maker are you using?

[atomic abyss]

it's there?

[atomic abyss]

in what context?

[vague oracle]

got hakuhou at 180 pulls. should i just do 20 more to get a copy

[atomic abyss]

how many cubes do you have left
do you have unzen

[vague oracle]

no unzen

40 cubes left saved 400 just enough for this event

[eternal moth]

Clemenceau is next rerun event though.

[safe nexus]

the threat lvl thing

[atomic abyss]

no you just need to defeat the boss

[supple wraith]

the github one, is there anything else? can you perhaps send me a link for the one you use?

[last zenith]

what parts of the game get you UR blueprints fastest, Like what stuff should u do

[atomic abyss]

for what
research?

[safe nexus]

i meant does the effect only works when its sortie(full auto search and auto fight), or it works even when i manual the whole stage

[supple wraith]

oh aight this wasn't what I was using but I might as well use it now

[last zenith]

just in general

[atomic abyss]

as long as you defeat the boss, it doesnt matter if auto or manual

[last zenith]

I need more of the ur gear

[atomic abyss]

again it depends

if your UR gear is from research
then just do your rigging analysis for the correct series

or check the protocore shop for older rainbow gears

[last zenith]

o,

[safe nexus]

ok ty

[atomic abyss]

for gear lab rainbow gear
doing operation siren
more precisely for abyssals, strongholds and arbiters

[last zenith]

ohhhh ty ty scary mod# 49

[vague oracle]

guess saving it is i have spare and can buy more bullins for hakuhou

[late flame]

i would save yes

[wind hazel]

https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/ this is the updated one, you might be using the very old one

[dry meteor]

The kamikaze boat is so hard to stop 😭

What should I do 🥀

[wind hazel]

give your BB solid aux gun

[dry meteor]

What is aux gun 💀

[wind hazel]

their secondary gun

[dry meteor]

oh, how do I know if it's good tho

[wind hazel]

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

check here

[safe nexus]

what lvl commandant have to be to unlock chapter 9?

[narrow kiln]

By the way, are the in-game airstrikes timing calculations accurate?
(The ones shown on the gear page)

[atomic abyss]

no

it doesnt account for reload buffs from skills

only from reload stat and plane cooldown

[supple wraith]

just a quick gear check, is there anything I have here completely wrong in terms of gearing? Also what sorta augments should I run?

[split gazelle]

sandy wants a DD gun I think

[undone plover]

For the purple augments save for now
Dont craft any

[supple wraith]

how about the second slot of auxes for Vanguard

[undone plover]

Evasion gear aux for the cruisers in empty slots
HP aux for the ddg

Seal of four gods in core best
But shells more prio

Is she retro? Your chang chun?

[supple wraith]

oh forgor the shell on musashi is already gold

[undone plover]

I would still grab 4 shells before getting ddg gear

[supple wraith]

missing core for Seal

[undone plover]

Maybe 2 white at least if u have radar

[supple wraith]

2 Black and 1 more White?

I am 23/25 bps of the HSPFCR thingy

[undone plover]

Yes ideally
But tbh if have table + radar u can skip black for now

[supple wraith]

so 2 whites

[patent thunder]

How does on obtain Unzen?

[safe nexus]

ty

[undone plover]

1 more white for campaign
2 more if u have 3 BB for bossing

[atomic abyss]

event limited
wait for her rerun

[patent thunder]

gotcha tyty

[undone plover]

Should be soon her rerun
It was announced but no date yet

[supple wraith]

so something like this, this is my bossing fleet atm actually

well it should once I get to doing more campaign after I get the stuff I want from event

[split gazelle]

eva aux is usually one of these

[supple wraith]

oh aight right

[split gazelle]

or this one as upgrade if you have it

[supple wraith]

I am 21/25 on that thing iirc so soontm

[viscid swift]

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

[wind hazel]

aim for this

you got the UR table?

[supple wraith]

yea

I think it was from an event before

[forest palm]

wild

[supple wraith]

its fine to go +10 on the purple poverty gears right?

[wind hazel]

ye shouldn't be an issue for you i guess

i thought your acc would be newer

[supple wraith]

its from the HMS event right?

[wind hazel]

ye from HMS Vanguard event

[supple wraith]

yep I definitely did not ragequit after not pulling Vanguard

[wheat ore]

what ships should i try to retrofit? is there a way i can filter ships that are able to be retrofited so i can show them?

[wind hazel]

the one you use, like unicorn

[wheat ore]

i have done all the ones i use

i have been stashing retrofit materials for like 5 months now

not sure who to use it on cuz all the ships that i'm trying to raise atm are UR

[wind hazel]

keep them. use on ship that you wanna use and have retrofit

or maybe reserve for shipyard

[wheat ore]

wdum reserve for shipyard?

[wind hazel]

shipyard ships use gold retrofit bps

[wheat ore]

oh as in like the pr ones?

okay i see, but now that i have 2 fleets that are fully maxed out (not the gear) should i try to raise more ships based on meta? or i might as well just use whoever i like cuz i can just swap back to my good ships for the harder content

[wind hazel]

raise good ships>raise ships for tech>raise waifu

[wheat ore]

okay, should i just refer to the tier list for good ship? i'm not sure what is good

[wind hazel]

yeah, just sort by the content you want to tackle. for example if you wanna do w14, sort by w14 mob boss and look through the list

[vapid valve]

So I’m getting 15 to 16k gems is there anyway I get get blue and purple exp books and other stuff that I need like cubes and drills that can max out the most that I can

[wind hazel]

you dont need to pay for any of those

[vapid valve]

I just want to level up my ships faster and get more stuff

[wind hazel]

consider buying PR voucher then

[vapid valve]

What’s that

[wind hazel]

it basically gives you dev30 of PR ship from season 1 to 4 (or 5? i don't keep up)

[supple wraith]

are there details on what paid packs are recommended?

[wind hazel]

valuable ones include double gem packs, lv70 commander booster for newbie

[wheat ore]

wait you can do that? https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home I've been using this and i think you can sort by ship types

[wheat ore]

oh okay i'll have a look at ty

also one more question, i have a ton of grey ships taking up my dock space, as in i'm trying to keep one of each ship. Should i just unlock all the grey ships and get rid of it?

[wind hazel]

depends on your dockspace

if you need the dockspace, trash them

[supple wraith]

how about the bp thingy?

[wheat ore]

i have like 300 space and i'm always juggling around 270ish, i have sort it after maybe 6-7 sorties. is that normal?

[wind hazel]

i dont consider them value purchase, whatever the bp thingy is

get more dockspace if you can

50 free is sweet spot

[wheat ore]

ah i see, i spend all my gems on dock space so far

[turbid patrol]

what is the requirement

got it to 1190 then it get decreased

[soft raft]

Greater than 1200

And 1180-1190 is less than 1200

[turbid patrol]

i mean what stat

[wind hazel]

torp

im assuming that's D2

[forest palm]

reading

[soft raft]

Is this screenshot from a YouTube video or are you actively playing the CN/JP client

If it's the latter, why if you can't read the language 💀

[wind hazel]

😂 also dont play games you can't read

[forest palm]

that's Japanese...

also use google lens

[atomic abyss]

i mean they use the same character system anyways

google lens is OP for playing JP client stuff

i use it all the time for FGO JP

i do recommend it if you're playing diff language clients for whatever reason

[harsh gust]

if you playing on pc - google translate can translate images as well which I find smoother and faster than lens

[turbid patrol]

oh yeah

i feel dumb now

[median sigil]

Hey, is there maybe someone who uses Bluestacks emulator to plat AL on the PC? Because I have a problem and my Bluestacks app says the game is not compatible with my app.

Is there a way to overcome this problem?

[swift path]

is oumi any good?

[ivory pawn]

Top SR BB.

Still worse than URs as usual.

[muted wind]

make sure it uses 64-bit android. 32-bit android is no longer supported

[swift path]

compared to just SR bismarck, she's better right

[ivory pawn]

Easily.

[swift path]

or maybe compared to Hood

[ivory pawn]

Not as sure compared to Hood, but probably.

[wind hazel]

those are trash in comparison

[swift path]

it seems i will not regret my first purchase of an l2d skin then

what auxiliary gear type should i get for her?

[wind hazel]

hpfcr+white shell as always

[swift path]

wait sorry but what's an HPFCR

[median sigil]

Thank you so much! I towrks now.

[ivory pawn]

High Performance Fire Control Radar.

[swift path]

ah right

[harsh radish]

where do i get more prototype core

[ivory pawn]

Analyze the CDC packs from handbook missions and cruise pass. Or recycle blueprints once the relevant ship reaches dev30.

[boreal blaze]

first time trying a SP stage, should i clear every mob ? or focus on the weird Phantom like ones?

[muted wind]

clear mobs until the boss spawns and attack the boss asap. whether you take out the elites to do that doesn't really matter, but they have better drops

[boreal blaze]

okey so like in event regular stages then thanks

[muted wind]

yeah, there are also no extra objectives to do a full clear, so there is never a reason to lol

[short matrix]

Two questions,

1. what is the best way to grind out more wisdom cubes
2. what is the best way to grind stars in OpSi? Have many that need X to pop up a number of times, is there a way to increase the odss of say mysterious merchant appearing?

[safe nexus]

what do i buy with specialized currency?

[muted wind]

1. not much to do besides taking commissions that drop cubes, just play the game normally
2. nope, entirely rng. have fun. i still haven't gotten all objectives that require things that spawn only on first clear per month playing since opsi released lol

[ivory pawn]

Specialized Bulins 99% of the time. But only buy them when you’ll use them to save dock space.

[forest palm]

there are some ops missions you can only attempt once a month

[red hawk]

the silver ones you'll use to buy UR bulins for UR limit breaking, and you'll want to buy the gold item sparkling mic at a later point for sandy retro

the blue currency gets used for gear bps

[safe nexus]

ok tyvm

[red hawk]

the rest of the items there are retrofit items, but none that you'll need anytime soon

don't buy the microphone until you're ready to finish san diego's retrofit, and don't buy bulins until you need them to save dock space

its OK to have unspent currency there to save space

[safe nexus]

i bought one already by mistake :D

since i got hakuhour its not a waste

[red hawk]

it's ok, I'm just saying you don't have to buy them every 4k you get

yeah if you're gonna use it its fine, but I'm just saying there's no point clogging the dock with bulins you won't be using right away

[safe nexus]

ye ik i thought shop gonna end or something, but your answer says that it dont so i kinda wasted 1 dock space rn

[red hawk]

one space is no big deal, just saying you don't have a lot of space early

so anything you can do to keep space down helps

[rapid grail]

When's the oath ring pack for JP Anni? Didn't manage to bag the EN anni's deal so buying it soon

[muted wind]

the limits shown on that page (retro items aside) do reset monthly, but the bulins have no limit, so yeah

[safe nexus]

ok thx

[red hawk]

@safe nexus also, you WILL exceed the number of monthly cores you can recieve by playing, that's normal

and make sure to get all the ones you can from the medal shop too

those don't count towards the monthly total

[safe nexus]

ok thx

[robust nymph]

does this survive 12-4 mobbing?

[verbal plinth]

Switch eld and anchor spot

[robust nymph]

even with 24lvl difference?

[red hawk]

I thought eldridge was a tank, why is everyone always recommending her as off tank

[verbal plinth]

She can I guess used to anchor being tank

[muted wind]

eldridge can tank some content, but anchorage still tanks better

[red hawk]

is eldridge good OT because of her vanguard buff?

[muted wind]

... actually, with the level difference, eldridge probably does better than anchorage for now

[polar lion]

RyuseiKai or blue vit2 better?

[verbal plinth]

Where your uni at

[molten zinc]

Eldridge high eHP coming from her skill proc giving the team 10s of invul, but when the skill doesn't proc or it's on cooldown, she's very squishy, so it's better to put her in the off-tank position

[robust nymph]

shes maxed id rather use ships to level

[split gazelle]

you don't need uni, should be fine with that comp as is

[muted wind]

eh, if they survive, it's fine. otherwise, swap one out for uni as a carry

[robust nymph]

i didnt know anchorage had the fate simulation thingy so im still finishing that too

[molten zinc]

Ryusei

[robust nymph]

also i was wondering, in the 200 pulls exchange is it gonna be shinano, nj, uldrich, hakuhou, and what? cause im 179/200 and im building 3 a day but i want to lb haku sooner than waiting for the 200 pull if it makes sense

[muted wind]

the event banner exchange is hakuhou only and is a separate counter from the permanent one

[robust nymph]

oh.. so mm is it even worth it

[muted wind]

at this point, may as well go for the dupe to limit break her with

[robust nymph]

yeah but the dupe is gonna be in a week and i want to level haku asap

i think without the last lb shes capped at what, 110?

[muted wind]

URs aren't level capped without mlb, you'll be fine leveling her now, you can get her to 125 already

[robust nymph]

oh really

[molten zinc]

UR, PR, DR and META don't need mlb to go pass lv100

[wind hazel]

keep eldridge main tank

whoever told you to let lv96 anchorage to tank vs lv120 eldridge is 100% trolling

[robust nymph]

yeah i did keep her theres no way that lvl difference is negligible

also nobody is even close to dying, just asama is half hp after last mob, seems good enough

[robust nymph]

so is it level 100 or 125, cause i think you two are saying slightly different things

[molten zinc]

Hakuhou can go pass lv100 and even reach 125 without mlb since she's an UR

[robust nymph]

oh alright, didnt know that ty

[wind hazel]

they dont need mlb to go beyond lv70/80/90, they still need to awaken to go beyond lv100

[molten zinc]

only CN can go to lv100 with non-mlb normal ship iirc

[forest palm]

Research Ships still kind of follow the LB System
in that they need to be a required level to use prints

[polar lion]

Do I replace all Champy gun use cases with Meck gun?

[stark quiver]

maybe

unless timing is a thing, its probs yes

[dreamy tendon]

is it worth to use medals to get enterprise for a new player

[ivory pawn]

Extremely.

One of the best uses of medals you can do as a new player.

[polar lion]

Hmm, do u guys +13 RyuseiKai?

[turbid marsh]

i mean why not, its a better ryusei

[undone plover]

From the 80 medal selector option yes
From requisition no

[undone plover]

Should yes
True min-maxer only +13 gear when he needs it tho

[wind hazel]

mine is +0 since i have no use for it

[polar lion]

Coz I hav bunch of +13 blue vit2 rn. Contemplating whether to +13 moar minimal upg stuffs or just hoarde and wait till rainbow converge torps

[undone plover]

What is blue vit

[wind hazel]

is it not blue

[polar lion]

Vit2 mode change

[undone plover]

U mean the pr7 one?
Keep in mind saiun is still preferred more for 4 strike meta so far
And like u said if u dont need it why upgrade it? If u have other planes to +13 as well

Vit-2 has the caveat of being a slow plane
So rly only first and possibly second CV carries it in a rotation
Dont go +13 a bunch of vit-2

[polar lion]

I hab bunch of all other TBs +13 too

[turbid marsh]

but vit2 different speed, probably only requires like what, 4?

[undone plover]

Then if u have spare plates ryuu-kai is a minor upgrade
If u have other planes u can ignore it for now

[undone plover]

I have 0

1 vit 2 junker 2 ryuusei(kai) 2-3 saiun is probably the best mix in a vacuum

[molten zinc]

6 saiun for 4-strike

[wind hazel]

3 everything

[turbid marsh]

i only have 2 vit2 +13, 4 saiun and 2 ryuusei, and 2 junker

[polar lion]

I can't rmb the last time I use Ryuusei tho. Wish I can refund the plates

[icy creek]

Hello, is it worth to +10 purple helldiver ?

[undone plover]

Yes
U will use it for a long time and +10 is cheap

No +11 tho

[narrow kiln]

How true is it that the only thing better than a Helldiver is a UR bombers?

[icy creek]

Ty I was wondering if i should wait to get better gear through research or gear lab but I have my answer now

[undone plover]

Very true

[molten zinc]

for general use at least

[undone plover]

Altho situationally a suisei can be better than a tenrai

But for general use tenrai then purple helldiver is your bread and butter

[icy creek]

Same Logic for my auxixiliary stuff ? Like toolkit steam catapult or aviation oil tank ?

All purple

I am worried to waste ressources

[undone plover]

Yeah
Purple aux plates are more in demand
So if not sure u could stay at +6 for non end game gear
But toolkit is end game gear

[whole crypt]

there is XSB3C from gear lab but it's just a helldiver with 20 more AVI and is a deadend investment

even at +13 it's worse than Tenrai +10

[undone plover]

But for guns and plane staying at +6 will hurt you a lot because enhance also reduces cooldown not just increases dmg

[icy creek]

Thanks I will do that

[slow barn]

Which is better for MLB, hakuhou, fritz rumey or unzen?

[stone sluice]

I’d say Fritz, but what other mlb URs you have?

[boreal blaze]

so to get i 404 should we use event currency to get UR voucher? Or just wait for daily missions to replenish ( if they do )

[spark patio]

I am about to get Roon but i am coining Saint Louis, should i stop coinning SL to invest in Roon?

or they are just the same

[wind hazel]

if you're lacking UR bulin you may want to consider farming to get the 2nd duplicate by the end of event

[wind hazel]

up to you but Roon's usefulness lasts a bit longer. how much invested are you in louis?

[spark patio]

Dev 27 now

[wind hazel]

just dev30 her, at least you can protocore catchup on her

[spark patio]

so i can use coins to get bps and exchange for protocore?

[wind hazel]

use coin to dev30 louis>activate louis catchup>convert all the louis catchup bp

[stone sluice]

Unless I’m blind, no Alsace

Why I-404 is 5 stars?

I’d go Fritz but wait for others opinions

[spark patio]

…i did use somecatch up bc i was new to that research

like 80-90/150

[wind hazel]

how many remaining? lol

[stark quiver]

they dont have soyuz and nakh, which is her preferred comp
unless they run lion,zwei,fritz for meta, but will need high investment on rld

[wind hazel]

yeah well stop the catchup

[spark patio]

now i focus on hindenburg bc i have no idea who i will have to focus lel

[wind hazel]

you can do anchorage catchup

or agir

dont touch PR1, 2, 3, 5 catchup before you have their dev30 ships.
dont touch DR2, 3, catchup before you have their dev30 ships

[slow barn]

I wanted alsace
I gonna make I-404 MLB, but i want to know the next ship for make that.

[spark patio]

btw, does Vanguard give good tech points for research

[stark quiver]

404 is very low priority for you

[wind hazel]

i guess? but HMS tech isn't really needed much. what are you trying to do

[slow barn]

I gonna do that just because i like her. But after that i don't know what ship i do mlb.

[stark quiver]

bb hit

[spark patio]

just trying to unlock some HMS research ships i think. I am very poor at techpoint bc i was a newbie

[stark quiver]

not reccommended to mlb 404, but oh well
hakuhou after is good

[thin shore]

Hello peeps, i rejoined after a long time without playing it, i forgot how to level units, how to get better gear, EVERYTHING i need a small recap on how to do that

[wind hazel]

you can get them from other elite bb cv as well, no need to specifically get from Vanguard lul

[spark patio]

ok, i get it. imma make use of my elite bullins, i haven’t touched any elite ship for weeks

[slow barn]

Hakuhou is a better choice than fritz and unzen?

[stark quiver]

yes

[slow barn]

Because i already have amagi and shinano.

[wind hazel]

fritz has more use for the next 2 months than hakuhou

better for campaign too

[stark quiver]

do you have hvar hellcats/skyraider

[spark patio]

btw chat. I now have 3 bullins, should i use them for Shinano or use them for rerun Unzen?

[strong tartan]

never shinano just wait for unzen

[slow barn]

Are these fighters?

[stark quiver]

yes skyraider is a dive bomber

[slow barn]

Just one of them.

[wind hazel]

this guy pvp

[spark patio]

Does Hakuhou work better with Unzen?

[stark quiver]

@wind hazel if im a noob doing opsi before first monthly reset, and i see a port shop that resets, should i buy out the whole shop

[wind hazel]

pair well for anti heavy, amagiCV is the one that really work best with them. torp boost 📈

[wind hazel]

yes

[stark quiver]

nice

[wind hazel]

opsi guide?

[stark quiver]

i have decided to expand it

[wind hazel]

most confusing gameplay in the game fr, really need a dedicated guide

[stark quiver]

its so i can link a guide and not type long sentence

[spark patio]

is it ok if i skip 3 weeks opsi?

[wind hazel]

do you want mats for gear lab for strong gear?

yes>not ok
no>ok

[spark patio]

I want but i really busy for those 3 weeks, i could only play and sorte at night lel

[molten zinc]

Irl stuff > game

[stark quiver]

if your schedule doesnt allow constant grinding, then its fine, dont ruin your life over a game

[spark patio]

now i just focusing on the UR copy from the shop then spend the rest on good stuffs

[safe nexus]

who is better? kagerou or Z23?

[wild sinew]

It better give 404 seiran?

[wind hazel]

no, bearcat

[stable badger]

ones a torp boat, the other a gunboat so...it's not really who's better, and more like what you want from them

[red hawk]

so I MLB'd Haku, but I have 3 bulins left, I could MLB shinano, but I know most people recommend just waiting on ur exchange dupes. I could also MLB the UR sub, but I'm wondering if I shouldnt just hold these for the next event since I won't be using subs for a bit and shinano can wait?

[atomic abyss]

hold for unzen

[red hawk]

is it confirmed shes next rerun

[atomic abyss]

not explicitly

but she is the next UR due for a rerun

whether she's the next rerun event is an entirely different issue

[soft raft]

Rerun was announced on stream, no date yet

[atomic abyss]

i believe clemenceau event is due for rerun first

ah

[soft raft]

But there is precedent of UR rerun right after a UR event

[soft raft]

Theoretically yes

[safe nexus]

hmmm i have no idea

[red hawk]

just very tempting to want to go ahead and have another maxed UR

[native moss]

Could someone please show me the sakura empire item to put on Hakuhou on her last gear slot to get synergy with her S3 please?

[atomic abyss]

as said, save for unzen

[atomic abyss]

#gameplay-help message

[red hawk]

what are they recommending hakuhou for content wise

[native moss]

Huh so we don t use a special item on her and her S3 goes to waste ?
Thank you for the shortcut

[atomic abyss]

she's meant to be an opsi ship

[native moss]

I don t play Opsi so that checks out, thanks à bunch tho

[stable badger]

gun, better in auto. torps better in manual play.

[viscid swift]

what about her 3rd skill

[narrow kiln]

Have you read this skill?

By the way, the recommendations are collected completely suitable for skills.

[native moss]

My bad i came out of surgery and missed "first" and thought it was last gear slot

[red hawk]

so when it says Light (But Why) I'm assuming she's not ideal for light encounters?

[narrow kiln]

She still has Sakura's plane in the last slot too.

[native moss]

[red hawk]

how is she for general campaign

[native moss]

Which ones ?

[atomic abyss]

good due to being a UR
far from being the best UR for campaign tho

[spark patio]

Can 4 star I 404 beat daily sub lv 75? with 2 IJN subs mlb

[atomic abyss]

no

[red hawk]

well considering she's my only UR

[wind hazel]

maybe

[atomic abyss]

oh well with 2 other IJNs maybe

[red hawk]

besides a non MLB shinano and 404

[atomic abyss]

but you're leaning on the other 2

[atomic abyss]

then leave her on the boss fleet

[spark patio]

MLB I-58 and I-26 could possibly beat the lv 75 sub challenge right?

[vale spindle]

Yes

[narrow kiln]

Theoretically, according to the guide, any fleet can do this if everything is done successfully.

[spark patio]

And the lv required is around 95?

[wind hazel]

tbh just farm 65, worry about higher level ones when you have bidders

[spark patio]

what are bidders

[atomic abyss]

the best sub torps

[wind hazel]

you need the purple ones that you get from daily raid

and lv65 one give the highest chance to get them

[stark quiver]

https://tinyurl.com/OpSiGuide
here is the new ops guide

[wind hazel]

:kekecrack:

ngl but you should probably use proper words for guide

[safe nexus]

thx

[tranquil vine]

so ive been trying to setup an opsi fleet for just autoing stuff and my front position ship keeps taking absurd amounts of damage and im worried i cant find a good dd tank for the fleet

...dd because im using justice as my meowficcer.

[undone plover]

Not a good reason to use DD
Unless self imposed challenge
Just use a good tank

[stark quiver]

Nah

[tranquil vine]

i have fu shun and shimakaze doing most of the actual combat, and cant think of a tank thatd also cover aa duty

[undone plover]

If u want best tank DD knowing they are worse then show your DDs
Lets see what u have

[wind hazel]

a lot of unnecessary words that add no value too

[spark patio]

I lack of the yellow torp things

[wind hazel]

for example,
Fleet: It’s really simple, since you (reader) are probably new, then the only correct course of action would be to use the given newbie fleet/your current campaign fleet(s). Remember to use cats.

why not use
Fleet: Use newbie fleet/your current campaign fleet. Remember to use cats.

[wind hazel]

yes that's normal. do opsi

[tranquil vine]

ill go uhh get extra images of the unleveled ones

[stark quiver]

Hmm you do have a point, I’ll cut out unnecessary text

[undone plover]

Laffey ii probably
Get her to 125 and she will tank for you
Again it doesnt have to be DD
Even if u use justice

[tranquil vine]

oh god its 6 images do i need to throw them in imgur or smth

[molten zinc]

Also glossary should be at the top, since it's a pain for the reader to scroll up and down to know what those words even mean

[undone plover]

U can make a thread if u want
But laffey ii is probably the tankiest DD

[tranquil vine]

uh huh

[wind hazel]

change your cat, don't use justice

[tranquil vine]

outside of dds, who should i check for as good tanks that also do aa stuff

[wind hazel]

Guam

[undone plover]

Guam is best
Opsi doesnt need lots of AA tbh

I use plymouth unzen hindenburg on mob

[tranquil vine]

i went into a corrosion 6 map and got swarmed by planes and my flagship almost died so i wanna do aa

also i dont have guam

[undone plover]

Ik golden leeuw is being used by some ppl for opsi
Do u have her? And what is her dev level if yes

If not just go tank and use sandy instead of shimakaze

[tranquil vine]

if its a research ship i probably dont have them

[wind hazel]

do you have enough adapt level?

[tranquil vine]

but shima is my nuker

[fallen verge]

is the ul research worth doing?

the 5 cube cost one

[gleaming bloom]

||Can I use something like auto clicker?||

[tranquil vine]

||no||

would cheshire work as a tank

[undone plover]

Q-UL almost always
The ones that need cube depend on cube count but are also very good

[fallen verge]

do they give a lot of ship prints?

[wind hazel]

sure, but also you really don't need to focus on vanguard AA to mitigate the issue. what fleet are you using? are they underleveled? do you have enough adaptive tuning when you went into C6?

[gleaming bloom]

So I have to click reply manually then 💔

[red hawk]

for what

[undone plover]

PR can give 5-9 iirc
DR cant remember
So relatively very good
They are time efficient since only 30m

[undone plover]

Which reply

[wind hazel]

think he meant replay

[gleaming bloom]

Replay*

[wind hazel]

which is actually [continue]

[tranquil vine]

silly cat will work, yea?

[undone plover]

U get 3x sortie
And to do more auto u need to manually restart it yes

[gleaming bloom]

How do I make it so it doesn't ask me to lock ship? I can back to my phone stuck at the option to lock a ship or not.

[undone plover]

Yeah
Not amazing tbh
Laffey probably better if u get her higher level
But like mori said maybe it is other issue u have like adaptive tuning

[viscid swift]

or just gearing

[undone plover]

There is a setting to auto lock new ships
But iirc for first time drop it stays on that screen anyway

[robust nymph]

what is this exaactly?

[undone plover]

Is this the lecture hall?

[robust nymph]

yes

[undone plover]

It stores xp then converts it to xp books
U upgrade it and forget about it
Ships > level 100 contribute xp to it

[red hawk]

how important is it to upgrade the buildings on reaching new commander tiers

[undone plover]

Rly easy to fill up
I dont think I have checked it in since I upgraded it to max level 2 years ago

[red hawk]

like im about to hit 100, is the upgrade worth saving coins for

[robust nymph]

so theres not a cap in the amount of books i can have right? if i dont use them ill stack them

[wind hazel]

yes, it give you better resources income

[undone plover]

Priority imo is for main fleet MLB so u can push and farm
Once u can farm comfortably upgrade buildings

[robust nymph]

it is worth it for sure, i remember for the 95 upgrade in 20 days you would make up the cost and its only a gain since after

[wind hazel]

how much do they cost, i forgot

[robust nymph]

10k-ish

[undone plover]

Me too

[red hawk]

they go down again after peaking

my last one was 30k for lecture hall

[wind hazel]

damn kinda $$ lol

[red hawk]

but I think 100 is around 10 or 11k for upgrades on all 3

[red hawk]

oh it keeps going up at 105

[wind hazel]

the oil and coin are so much cheaper in comparison lol

[red hawk]

thats the cap though?

[undone plover]

3000 for t1 books
500 for t2 books

Lecture hall only produces t1 books

[robust nymph]

oh cool

[red hawk]

is there a way to get t2 books outside of packs?

[hoary relic]

sadly no

[red hawk]

I've only seemed to see them when I got the commander upgrade

[undone plover]

Events sometimes

[stark quiver]

if you did anniverssary web event

[hoary relic]

which is the best comb for IJN CVs rn?

for heavy?

[robust nymph]

what would my vanguard be for 13-4 bossing and mobbing?

[wind hazel]

hakuhoe amagi+shinano/impla

[hoary relic]

mamagi is compulsory?

[robust nymph]

assume everything 125

[stark quiver]

what

[undone plover]

Eldridge mob tank + flex + flex
Agir helena sandy boss van

[hoary relic]

ancho is a good tanker but why her lv is 98

[wind hazel]

ye do that. was gonna say depends on how you wanna make your mob fleet, 1 bb2cv or 3cv

[robust nymph]

i had other stuff to level

[wind hazel]

triple cv you can put eldridge boss instead

[hoary relic]

so hakuhou implac and shinano would work right?

[frank phoenix]

Anything worthwhile for 10$ cube wise ?

[reef flume]

Amagi might be better than Shina now

[stark quiver]

no

[undone plover]

Amagi better if 2 IJN
Kick shinano out

[hoary relic]

i missed her banner

[robust nymph]

cvs are squisher right? so having 3 of them in boss isnt it risky to sink?

[reef flume]

Ouch. Then yeh use Shina

[stark quiver]

bbs are squishier if there are a lot of planes

[hoary relic]

against suicide bomber: yes

[undone plover]

3 UR CV will be fine tbh
Assuming geared and synced well
But yeah 1 BB 2 CV safer usually

[hoary relic]

but not against flies

[stark quiver]

but run 1 UR bb in chapter 13 boss to snipe repair boats and taihou

[wind hazel]

both can work, just depends on your fleet tbh and your ACV i guess

[stark quiver]

only noobs care about acv

[robust nymph]

i do what you guys say anyway, its been working out so far lol

[hoary relic]

[wind hazel]

cant go wrong with full rainbow

[undone plover]

U are probably overkill for ch13
I wouldn’t worry too much
Vanguards need more level but uni + Eldridge will carry mob

[stark quiver]

holy psyop

had full rainbow

[hoary relic]

eld is a DE so she can handle both sub and AA right?

[stark quiver]

yes

[wind hazel]

what is de

[hoary relic]

destroyer escort

did i spell that right

just a variant of DD but mainly go for sub using ASW weapon like K-gun laucher and hegehogs

[wind hazel]

ngl first time hearing that term

[stark quiver]

destroyer escorts dont exist in azur lane, its all just destroyers
DEs are basically even smaller destroyers

[red hawk]

they call them frigates now

[hoary relic]

and they surely sucks at torps

[wind hazel]

is this something history

[red hawk]

not to be confused with escort destroyers

[stark quiver]

reminds me of the time i tried searching DD escorts and got a totally different result

[wind hazel]

booba

[wind hazel]

after trying to fill the fleet on renhex site i realize we can never go full rainbow, because we need unicorn

[rapid grail]

ithink you still can? raffaelo + brest

[hoary relic]

DEs sometimes bigger lol not always smaller

[viscid swift]

compared to their contemporaries no

[wind hazel]

maybe you're right

[kind orbit]

hello

[near swan]

is the current event banner worth to gacha?

[viscid swift]

yes

[hoary relic]

all UR banner worthy to pull

[rapid grail]

short answer: yes
long answer: watch this- wait this isn't frostbyte262
anyways all UR events are worth rolling on

[kind orbit]

someone can tell me,what its the required stage to do the S.P> stage?

[rapid grail]

beat d3
you can go ez way with a1 to b2 and then pick d3
or do a1-a3 then d1-d3.

[hoary relic]

me, waiting for worc, des moines to join the game

[near swan]

then how can u get cubes?

[kind orbit]

ok,thank you so much

[hoary relic]

daily, weekly quests

and also daily login

[rapid grail]

Do dailies, weeklies and the occasional commissions that come from farming. Guaranteed rate is about 165~ cubes or so on a good month; around 200 for consistent playing and farming due to comms

[kind orbit]

i already done all these stages on 3 stars,and it didnt unlock 🙁

[rapid grail]

did you beat b3 instead

[wind hazel]

he did

[hoary relic]

isnt beating D3 will unlock SP?

[stark quiver]

yes

[wind hazel]

yes, but he didn't beat D3

[stark quiver]

[hoary relic]

let me guess, he have beated B3 in stead of D3

[wind hazel]

[hoary relic]

[wind hazel]

sir, that's B3, not D3

[kind orbit]

sorry,im new to this

[hoary relic]

uhh bro, are u for real? that is literally B3 not D3

[wind hazel]

refer to this picture

[rapid grail]

okay, click on the b3 stage and then pick hard mode on bottom left. that is d3 stage and beating it will unlock sp stage

[kind orbit]

but where its d3?

[hoary relic]

@kind orbitbruh?

[kind orbit]

oh....

[hoary relic]

please dont tell me that u just give a fk to all guides that the game gave u

[stark quiver]

why are you saying bruh when its a mistake everyone made

[kind orbit]

thank you all so much for helping the dumbass here and sorry for te incovenience

[stark quiver]

its fine lol, youre definitely not the first to mix that up

[kind orbit]

hey,its 11700 main and 11000 vanguard good for a level 60 1 month player?

[near swan]

idk is my current team good or not. i got guam,jew jersey,ulrich,kronshtadt,vanguard,trafalgar,lion,shinano,amagi,fritz rumey and raffaello. which should i use?

[wind hazel]

power is useless

[kind orbit]

ok,lesson learned 🫡

[wispy creek]

good lord what level of upgrades do you need to reach those DPS targets in ninja castle

[wind hazel]

upgrade your facilities buffs

[stark quiver]

i finished the event at stage 12

[stark quiver]

fleet power doesnt dictate a fleet's ability/strength
some ships can actually require lower rarity gear

have you tried reading the /equip guide in #bot-spam to try and gear your fleets correctly

[wispy creek]

oh my god the defenses scrolls.....

[kind orbit]

im gonna switch graf spee for atago

[wind hazel]

yes dont worry, many of us thought we only had 2 buffs

[kind orbit]

ok

[wind hazel]

just start leveling these, set yourself on a wave that give good income/s, come back hours later, finish until wave 120

[near swan]

i got some ur, but idk what who should i use, can anyone help me build my team

[wispy creek]

yeah i didnt see the scroll bar....DPS just quintupled

[stark quiver]

whats the team for and what are the rest of your ships

[kind orbit]

what is better for the graf spee?

[near swan]

i got guam, jew jersey, ulrich, kronshtadt, vanguard, trafalgar, lion, shinano, amagi, fritz rumey and raffaello.

[stark quiver]

again, whats the fleet for

[rocky lake]

from what i understand the difference in FP matters more

[near swan]

uh story and event

[rocky lake]

theres something to do with % dmg modifiers based on FP value i think

[kind orbit]

learned

[stark quiver]

damage , firerate, mods, spread etc

[rocky lake]

not sure if thats correct but im sure somebody can correct me or fill in the gaps

[stark quiver]

if you want you can open a thread, and post your entire dock

the FP stat of a weapon usually isnt what seperates one from being good or bad

[kind orbit]

my graf spee with te cannon in the right,it gives more damage than my bismarck with her 380mm purple cannon +10

[wind hazel]

HUH

[kind orbit]

the bismarck cannon the 380mm one in the bismarck gives an double shot boost right?

[wind hazel]

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

it will improve your dps 100000% no clickbait!

but fr, give it a read

[near swan]

team build

[kind orbit]

bismarck 122x2x2=488 in 18sec
graf spee 49x6=294 in 8:30sec 8,5x2=17sec and thats 294x2=586
bismarck=488 in 18sec
Graf spee=586 in 17sec

godanmit,it take a time 😅

[wind hazel]

that's... not how it works

[kind orbit]

oh.....

[wind hazel]

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

tl;dr, it's complicated

[sick kettle]

what aa should i use for unicorn

[kind orbit]

somehow,theres a way i can acumulate a quatity of exp highier than a 2 years old innocence in a time shorter than roon's battle with bismarck?

[near swan]

the event which buff should i upgrade first?

[red hawk]

on my alt- should I still grab hood from medals if I have oumi? or is there not a better BB in medal store

[ivory pawn]

Could be a good grab for second fleet, alternatively you can work on tech by picking up Tirpitz for Iron Blood for example.

[red hawk]

yeah that's what I was thinking, isn't warspite ok with retro too? or not worth

[wind hazel]

expensive investment

[red hawk]

just gold wise (and gold bulins I guess) right? because you don't really use BB retro for much else

[wind hazel]

her retro item needs 2k spcore

[red hawk]

oh she has a retro item

[wind hazel]

which is half of a UR bulin

[red hawk]

yeah that changes things

I was just thinking of the basics, I didn't realize she was one of the retro item ships

do all retro SR's require an item?

[ivory pawn]

Any SR to UR, and the DDGs.

[red hawk]

I've only done sandy and eldridge at this point so I wasn't sure if it was across the board that way, and of course eldridge and essex retro got given for rewards

haven't had to buy any others

[tranquil crescent]

can i just like, retrofit sandy n warspite

[hoary relic]

i dont think warspite is worthy to spend spcore on rn

[red hawk]

sandy definitely seems to be valuable enough, especially for doing campaign 13

[ivory pawn]

Is recommended to retrofit Sandy at some point.
Warspite’s fine now w/aug, just expensive. If you already have some UR BBs maybe not.

[hoary relic]

for w14 and w15 also

espically w15 where there are tons of flies

[red hawk]

she just seems to be generally good for campaign

[hoary relic]

is there any way to counter yuu meta's burning effect?

[rain vine]

fire extinguishers on all vanguard units

[hoary relic]

that skill is annoy af ngl

[hoary relic]

tried but not effective at all

the fire still there when my BBs fire

[rain vine]

you cant completely get rid of the fire, but you can limit how many of your ships are on fire at a given time by just using fire extinguishers
check the yuudachi meta pin

[hoary relic]

eh i guess i'd quit doing meta after getting yuu's 4 crystal

[tranquil crescent]

should i create an alt where i dont use any gems? just play the gamee

cuz i kinda fucked up my main by spending my gems on skins n cubes n coins

[civic prairie]

is it confirmed that next is unzen rerun or still TBC?

[soft raft]

No date announced yet

[hoary relic]

pretty sure next rerun gonna be unzen but no idea which date

[soft raft]

But it was confirmed to be a thing on stream

[sharp delta]

Hey so I placed I-404 in my fleet and did 2 sorties. 1st crashed my game the other didnt spawn a boss fleet.

[hoary relic]

[civic prairie]

usually on what month rerun occurs based on past rerun?

or no fixed pattern

[hoary relic]

usally after 2y after her first banner

[civic prairie]

alright

[sharp delta]

I am probably going to simply remove her from my active fleet and keep her in reserve until a patch or something

The sub fleet is the French gun sub, the redhead sailing ship and I-404 as flag.

[hoary relic]

unzen was released on sep 14th 2023 so technically she should rerun after hakuhou banner

the date is confirmed yet but we surely know she gonna rerun is this 4th quarter

[undone zinc]

Complete event 5/7 it's even worse now

[soft raft]

Second one sounds like a typical desync

[hoary relic]

shitty EN's UI moment

[sharp delta]

Okay. I did DC (does that every time the screen goes dark)

[viscid swift]

let me let you in on a little something

[wind hazel]

no it's properly tracking now

[ivory pawn]

Oh good, it’s fixed.

[viscid swift]

we say events rerun north of 2 years after they run for a reason and not 2 years after

the devs have and will change the order of reruns and when events rerun as they please

[hoary relic]

they literally made another bug after fixing a bug

[sharp delta]

Not sure what happened on the 1st as it was doing the auto attacks then my game was at the opening loading screen where it shows the companies who are involved with the game.

[ivory pawn]

What’s the new bug?

[tranquil crescent]

Who's the best starter ship rn?

[wind hazel]

all equal

[hoary relic]

not sure is it true to call it a bug but uh idk is that called fixing or not

all they do is fixed the event exchange's number

[wind hazel]

simon what the fuck are you talking about

[ivory pawn]

And the event mission number too.

There are 7 daily missions, but for whatever reason it was saying 5 before.

[hoary relic]

this sht

[wind hazel]

yes, so what's the new bug you were saying?

[hoary relic]

idk did they fix it at all

[hoary relic]

didnt i correct it isnt a bug

[wind hazel]

it was bugged. it got fixed today, it's properly tracking now

[soft raft]

I mean considering this statement ^

[hoary relic]

didnt i said this

[wind hazel]

yes??

[hoary relic]

.

[wind hazel]

so what new bug

[hoary relic]

bruh?

[ivory pawn]

They fixed the bug, and Simon corrected himself on there being a new bug. All is good here.

[hoary relic]

[frank phoenix]

should i spam b3 or c3? can't afk d1 yet

[hoary relic]

at least go for d1 since u have oil cap there........

[alpine quail]

Helena is worth investing in and retrofiting right?

[hoary relic]

she is

[alpine quail]

k thx

[turbid marsh]

she is but i doubt she is a priority for newer players

[forest palm]

I'd cycle C2 if you're looking to grind out a map for xp

[hoary relic]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/#basic_fleetbuilding

[ivory pawn]

You can manual D1? If you clear it a couple of times it’ll get a lot easier, maybe try autoing then.

[hoary relic]

u should've check those tips if u r a newbie

[frank phoenix]

mostly rewards,possibly coins,need to pugrade some ships cuz xp capped at 80

[alpine quail]

im lvl 65 and i have a strong main fleet. i just need to work on my vanguard fleet so im pretty sure she is a priority for me

[frank phoenix]

can manual if i use boss fleet for those 2 mini bosses at the start,mob fleet gets grinded by them XD

[turbid marsh]

go for it!

[frank phoenix]

should be able to auto it in 1-2 days max

[hoary relic]

erm........

weird i was able to autoing d3 after the first time clearing it

now im out of oil due to autoing d3

[frank phoenix]

lemme guess,125 lvl fleet? XD

[hoary relic]

not at all i used low lv ships to grind exp for them

but mostly over lv 85

only ancho is lv125 to be the tanker

[frank phoenix]

u need avrage lvl 100 to be able to attempt it at least

something like that

[hoary relic]

now i need to wait oil to produce

[frank phoenix]

my highest lvl is a lvl 113 unicorn XD

[hoary relic]

D3 is lv104 so ye not a big deal for ur uni

[frank phoenix]

ye,my front line is kinda lacking,need to upgrade somebody

got a roon at 20/30 research lvl 77 XD

dmg isn't really the problem,it's mostly survivability of frontline

[hoary relic]

roon is a good tanker for early times tbh

sadly that u would replace her soon with ancho and agir

[frank phoenix]

yeah,just not there yet

[hoary relic]

later on would be ply 🥀

[frank phoenix]

SOON?

[hoary relic]

roon is good but not for end game contents

[frank phoenix]

best i got for now,along with a le hardi for some extra eva XD

[hoary relic]

i have reached 40k event pts, but at what cost

[red hawk]

oil

[hoary relic]

over 20k oil have gone

in just 2 days grinding

[frank phoenix]

damm,they made essex worth building with the retrofit

how many coins was it for a full retrofit? XD

[hoary relic]

erm over 50k i'd say

or maybe lesser idk

[frank phoenix]

scary numbers

i don't have enough to upgrade gear XD

[verbal plinth]

Not high prio

[hoary relic]

i just burnt over 400k coins to retro eld hiryuu soryuu and for haku's banner in just 2 days

[frank phoenix]

also burned a lot on this banner for mostly retirement medals and enhancement mats XD

[charred valve]

anyone got any advice for the ex stage

[sweet delta]

Use main fleet ships with high damage and tanky vanguard and/or manually dodge. There's nothing special to say

[charred valve]

are bc or cv better

[atomic abyss]

depends on which ones

[charred valve]

i have all so it doesnt matter

[atomic abyss]

lion nakh soyuz then

assuming all are mlb

dont have those? triple IJN CV

[charred valve]

agir unzen hinden vanguard good enough?

[atomic abyss]

drop hinden for eld retro
as sushi said, tanky

[static harbor]

Eh? Chappy is good now?

[charred valve]

alr ill give it a go

[forest palm]

anti light niche, or some shit iirc

[atomic abyss]

on her niche
her damage is very good
that's all

i think it was DDs specifically

[forest palm]

something like that

[static harbor]

Better than Aurora? (idk how to spell her name)

[forest palm]

no

[static harbor]

Ah wait it's only Vanguard that gets the extra damage to enemies, thought it was entire fleet

Shame, but aight, got nothing better to do

[atomic abyss]

aurora isnt a DPS
she's a debuffer

and aurora's closest competitor is trafalgar

who is... largely better if you have lion

[static harbor]

I thought Chappy 20% damage taken applies to the entire fleet

That's why I brought Rora up

[forest palm]

afaik the only thing Chap is doing for the fleet is decreasing enemy DD Eva Rate

[twilit wren]

bought independence, white and black shells from core data shop, any recs for what next?

[atomic abyss]

more white shells

at least 3 pairs

[twilit wren]

already got 3

[atomic abyss]

beyond that well, i suppose gears for the DDGs

avi beacons and avi manjuus as well

[viscid swift]

Breguets

[split gazelle]

sub gears too eventually

[jaunty vault]

/coredata

[twilit wren]

so many options haha

how about action report: operation AF

[atomic abyss]

never

[split gazelle]

isnt it a good dd aux

[atomic abyss]

breguets then

[wispy cosmos]

luxury item, niche use for dds with uss gear skills like laffii

less relevant now that you can fulfill those skills with the twin 76

[twilit wren]

why these 2 over angel's feather?

[atomic abyss]

because those 2 adjust airstrike timing
which is an essential part of using CVs for bossing in opsi/cm/meta showdowns

[twilit wren]

what exactly does airstrike timing mean? is it just syncing up so that they hit the same time?

[split gazelle]

yes, usually paired with a freeze. you'd want to line the other 2 CV up so it hits during freeze where the boss is mostly static so all bombs hit

though this is mostly done by changing the bombers themselves with the odd case of the beacon/manjuu

[twilit wren]

oh yea i did notice that those bosses move a bit then stop a bit
im guessing converging torpedoes maximise damage? when theyre frozen?

[split gazelle]

yes

though the frozen part is usually done by a CV like AvP/Implacable/Ark Royal

[twilit wren]

ohhh their skills slow down the boss!

i see the bigger picture now

cool thanks, it feels more fun knowing how equipments work lol
i stopped playing few years ago cuz couldnt be bothered to learn

[muted crescent]

guys how do u get UR gun designs?

it is only through c6 abyssals or?

[sweet delta]

Buy 3 per month from port shops, 1 per month from arbiter, and random drops from abyssals and cat nodes

But you should be looking for UR plane wyvern before UR gun Mk7 or 100kai

[muted crescent]

ic

[clear harbor]

What's the average frequency of UR events including reruns?

[atomic abyss]

8 gacha UR every year

[clear harbor]

Hm. Thanks. I pulled Hakuhou (🎉), but I also want Oumi for my collection. Trying to figure out how much Oumi is worth to me.

[iron ridge]

Oumi is highest gold DPS for BBs rn.

[clear harbor]

Oh, so at least kind of worth pulling for?

[atomic abyss]

no

[clear harbor]

😩

[atomic abyss]

even the best gold BB is still worse than the worst rainbow BB

[clear harbor]

Yeah... I have Raff, Bismark Zwei, and Lion, so I feel like I'm good on BBs for pushing for now?

[atomic abyss]

definitely

[grave mantle]

Can I trade one of my oumis for hakuhou?

[iron ridge]

You might want to save up for Alsace too
