None oathed
Or so it is intended to be
I adjust a bit
Sometimes things break like Gouden gun on Azuma, it was fixed though
oh i see, i feel like the game is pretty vague about lots of things, lots of terms, thanks anw
Where is this from
Tyty
Is she good enough against light to use her since I don’t have alsace, my only other option is vanguard
in opsi how do i make my fleet regroup and rest? im at port
You can redeploy your fleets once in 24 hours for free for full heal. Or you can enter the port and tap Formation and repair all for opsi coins
Repair All doesn't fix the red wrenches though
ok ty
u should only pay ap for regroup and rest only in abysall zones if need 
i think repair fixes the wrench
just doesnt fix low resolve 
i have no idea what lvl of corrosion can i handle
always repair the hp with heal boxes and only use repair in ports to clear wrenches for minimal coin expense 

there are 15.5 days until event ends right?
depends on your ship levels
but make sure u have enough adaptive tuning as well
the roman numeral on the right recommends what the game thinks u can handle
ofc the scary bosses are still hard even if u can technically tackle them
thank you
ty
i think it is 14.5 days
or will next maint also be friday 
what is adaptive tuning
next maint is thurs, 2/10, but that's ~15.5 days away not 14.5
also ectl has an event timer
I'm still trying to understand the stat system in this game
Which is better for shimakaze?
neither is good...
should i buy special item tokens using operation supply coins?
Yes
if you're confused about vanguard gearing, check out ectl for easy to understand loadouts with mouseover descriptions explaining why each gear is recommended
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/dd?ship=shimakaze
what about action points
Yes
I mean it's just 2 tool kit for a DD in terms of basic builds 
is there a list of what i should buy? shop priority guide doesn't have it
2 tool kits is worth even if the skill doesn't stack?
Operation Siren Guide Pre-Chapter-4-Completion :kekecrack: Letz see… You've reached level 60 and unlocked the Operation Siren mode. TB would probably talk to you or something, and you’d be presented with a new map that's rather empty. If you are from any major azur lane discord server, you’ve p...
ey thx
ASW only does anything against submarines. Most of shimakazes damage scales by TRP stat. But vanguard ships should usually use defensive auxes, not offensive TRP or FP. Shimakaze is also resource bait so if she's still 3 or 4 stars, drop her from your fleets before it's too late
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/
A simple reference for what gear to equip in each slot for the most commonly encountered enemy types. Covers main fleet and vanguard weapons and auxiliaries.
is there any point where you'll use the anti sub defensive auxes (i.e. mine layers)
ASW used depth charges not mines
yeah I called it the wrong thing but I meant the depth charge dropper sorry
most DDs generally have low HP, which amounts to low survivability, 2 tool kits give a good amount of HP, so for most content this is the safest thing you can do
they used 5 dudes with pickaxes 
I know I used one for a bit during the yumia collab stages when I was starting out and it seemed to help on the stages that had a lot of subs
but I haven't felt like the event stages really warrant it
as the qgg says, you can do better than 2 toolboxes by replacing one with a 500/550hp aux with a different skill effect. those would be the first stack in the last slot on ectl
arent those all tied to events an unobtainable for newer players at this point
judging by the screen shot they're new-ish
S4G
SOT4
of an the can be omitted 
idk what that acronym is
seal of the 4 gods
is that in one proto?
no
core data, it's for the chinese DDGs
the only non event one is the operation af report, which isnt accessible for a new player either lol
yeah sorry I keep getting my terms mixed up not proto
it's in the shop though
with white shells and stuff
again this is why I dance around recommending event limited, especially something that's Collab related or stuckin the void like AFCT 
i just know the recommended ones here are all event
except for the regular toolkit of course
you can get the third best in 60 runs of universe union
the dress can be attained if you put up with it
i refuse 
farming cavalla was cancerous
I haven't touched WA since its inception 
I am literally considering modifying the gear guide images to specifically black out event/limited stuff so I don't get confused for now lol
just like blacking out certain stuff for my own visual aid
bros gonna only show the toolkit 😭

btw apparantly this event ends on friday not thursday so it is 21 days and we get 415 vouchers
idk why I kept repeating it is 20 days (i read this somewhere
)
so re-evaluate your maths for free vouchers ppl
it is not 405 it is 415
lol I meant like the other gun guides and stuff too, so I know what's obtainable for now
the big graphical guides for gear lab and stuff
at least you won't have to scratch out so much with BB guns, now CV planes that one is gonna be a little funny
how many planes are tied to events?
should I buy Asama in the event shop or invest in the dream stones?
hey guys i’m bouta finish roon pr. from pr 1-5 who would u recommend i start working on next
as in event ends on 3/10?
a lot of good ones
considering I'm still working on my first tenrai and stuff it's not a big deal that I don't have access to event planes
yes
for some reason I was under the impression it was ending on a thursday even tho it started on a friday so it was 20 days
when this was wrong
I did grab the new plane from the event, and made a couple flapjacks kinda saving everything for wyvern rn
do u have an announcement or smth, because even the ingame banner says 2/10
technically i guess it ends on 2/10 11:59 pm but essentially we are getting thursday as a normal event day
and tenrai
not having access to the F6F Hellcat HVAR, and AD-1 really do hurt your Light Armor capabilities for CVs 
i agree, good thing i farmed 5 during rerun
smh not 6
i would be dead if i got 6
also by ends on the 3rd faer means the 3rd doesnt have the event anymore but the 2nd does
yeah i get it now
i meant is the 3rd the last day
also can i dm u about ur calculator
sure
yeah saying it ends on 2 when 2 is the last day is weird to me ngl
but i guess azure lane operates by 1 second minus midnight logic or sth
welcome to why time zones are a headache
The event goes until Oct 2, inclusive as usual
simpler thing is to go look at the event banner and look for the end date
it seems like plenty of time to get stuff done tbh
too much time
I imagine a fair few people will be pretty much done with the event well before the last day or two
im almost done
do i buy asama or do i get the dream stones for I-404
I hit 60k still gonna grind some
go grind d3 for asama
wait and see if asama drops buy stones
too low level 😭
but that isnt usual
I404 is free, you don't need to buy stones unless you want her second copy
suchimisin formation
The inclusive is usual
they can't do d3, are they gonna be able to get 200 orbs without doing that or SP
do max lvl ships sorties still count as xp accumulation for research ship mission?
yes
They can do d3 in a few weeks
just a waste of XP for your ships
I noticed a similar issue on my alt this event that I had on previous with my main, you're more likely to be able to clear the requirements for D3 than D2, not that you need d2
but it's a habit I've noticed on these event maps, that one or two of the hard ones in the middle have high torp reqs that are tougher for new players than the eva and FP reqs of the final stage
hey y'all how to get Ägir and Eldridge
one is in pr4 one is in merit shop
yes they can, it's 105 vouchers from the mini game plus 5 a day from random daily missions that any player can complete
agir is a research dev ship, eldridge is in merit shop rotation
thanks
-# Based ship questions
not to mention 10 each for running each of the event ships once in D3
im fairly sure they can get to where they can do it, I was just curious if you could get it without being able to farm D3
I mean I guess you could always farm D1 until you can too
Devs design most things to be obtainable to the average player
with only a few months in the only thing really out of reach for me as a new player with events is EX
I still need to mald ex
they definitely require more meta/better gearing
imagine doing EX for 500 chips
I’m pretty sure my wheelchair fleet can win normal mode
I scraped by with a 3 minute clear
im fairly sure your wheelchair fleet would nodiff my main

How can I open the SP stage in A Dance for Amahara Above event?
clear d3
which is b3 hard
Another quick question
What are some things to look for to see if a character is a good tank or not?
For example the new purples how can I tell if they're good?
I've been using ryza as a tank cause she's my highest level from when I started but I don't have anything unique for her so she's starting to fall off
Got it. Thanks
/ehp
List of vanguard ships by tankiness by mebot
that might help then
I don't get it ;-;
Is this a good time to make a new account and reroll? My account kinda sucks, I didn't play much
resources aren't frontloaded in this game, rerolling is pointless
if you dont, then just ask here
tldr is a lot of things go on
to determine how bulky something is
Totally not worth it? Do you have any rough idea about how many pulls we can get in the first few minutes
nothing
maybe 4-5 rolls at most
rerolling is super not worth it
refer to this
eHP stands for effective HP
the first column compares the HP of all vanguards in the game with Portland retrofit as a baseline
It's a list of ships by how tanky they are in expectation. 100% is Portland, higher is tankier than Portland, lower is usually not suitable for tanking
if you're following the starter guide, you're only rolling 1x a day on light pool except during events, you don't need to pull ships at the start to get through the first 10 chapters
That helps actually
Ok thanks I won't reroll then, but should I make a new account. This account was abandoned anyway, it kinda sucks. I mean just to start fresh and get good characters
-# only way I would do a new account is if I was f2p and screwed up by wasting gems on paid skins
@red hawk I kinda don't like this account units tbh
the point here is rerolling wont get you better ships, there is no point
it doesnt matter
you wont get much better even if you reroll
but like, if you're following the guide to starting the game, the ships you use all come from shops and stuff you have immediate access to, and you won't get better by rolling
you don't need to "reroll" for anything
because you're not rolling ships, youre not pulling banner
the only variation is whether you pick starter a b or c which functionally work the same
And you will also eventually get all the 3 starters
+4th starter by just playing the game
the point of the ships on the guide is they're low investment for return on usefullness early on. if you pull high rarity ships, you wont have the means to invest in them to make them worth using, because a MLB elite is way more useful than a no investment UR
and even if you managed to pull a couple good ships, your costs for upgrading them at every gate are more expensive than lower rarity ships
so you're gonna hurt yourself by trying to force a lot of stuff early on with high cost
I see, thanks guys. i get it now! Really appreciate it. I kinda wasted all my pulls when I uninstalled last time, I've zero now. Also is it recommended to pull on one banner after saving a lot, or pull whenever if pity carries over
pity never carries over
roll for limited URs only till you get UR
then 1x light build a day outside UR event
you don't want to do more than the daily mission pull except during events, specifically UR events. the standard banners aren't worth using
the 1x light build you do a day gets refunded by the mission rewards + more gold so it's worth doing
youll get most of what you need up through world 10 just playing the game
you don't need to worry about meta ships early on, you want "good on a budget"
which is what the guide ships are
Thanks a lot! I'll continue then. So I should skip this current ur event or pull what I get? I guess I should save as you said
definitely try and at least do the x3 daily event pull if you can get the cubes and stuff
but you should try for the UR if you can
Appreciate it!
Can you get essex retrofit without the event ?
u need to wait for its rerun in 1 year if u missed it
🥹

Poverty
a lot of event stage gear is decent if you're early on, but it's not gonna be end game level gear
im kinda sleepy so I cant think but which one was that setting that let you save ur l2d customisation to allow it to persist
^
the highest levelled of those 3
can someone dumb down the XP books/lecture hall for me? how active do I have to be to make it produce books?
as long as you're using level 100+ ships constantly you'll always have some
uhhhhhh
normal event grinding is enough
guys?
does it cap out the contribution the extra xp your ships give towards more books
can we see all your carriers
like is there a point where doing more runs won't give you more xp books from the lecture hall
i only have those four
that is putting the cart before the horse
well
no saratoga?
I'm just trying to learn how it works really, like I get that it gives a certain percent of xp you get from 100+ ships towards creating xp books right? but does that amount youre contributing daily have a cap or does it just keep pumping them out based on how much xp the ships are getting
the "cap" is when its full
the bar can be filled
if its full, no amount of grinding will get you more
so if that bar is full that's your maximum rate you're getting books, that's really pretty much the last bit I was gonna ask
its not rate
the rate is fixed
it's just how much you have that can be CONVERTED into books
I'm saying it wrong, I apologize. As long as that bar is full, you'll keep pumping books out, (always at the same rate) the only way I won't be producing books is if that bar has no progress
but the amount of banked XP I have has no bearing on how fast they are produced just that they keep coming
yes
How do you get more krohn gun?
Which of the two upgrades are more worth it to prioritize in Turmoil in the Ninja Castle?
i dont think you can get more
unless the wiki is lying to me
i said those are the only ones i can use
use lexington then
ok
There's always a gap between an event and its respective event exclusive gear (if applicable) being added to permanent sources
Ahh ok
me when shima torp
3rd Gamer table 
AFCT is gonna be stuck in the void just like Z Flag 
manual poimeta did not work 
Anyone have some favourite ships for ultra-low oil farming?
I'm missing a few map drops so I've been using 1:1 0lb ships but they're not cutting it for the last few I need, so I put together a higher mlb fleet but it's a little more expensive than I'd like
Bonus if they're able to clear the event A/C maps for the x3 daily...
Current fleets attached for comparison. I don't know if I'll get lower than Luna/Mika but the other fleet can certainly go lower...
-# MIKAZUKI MENTIONED
Yo, I just got to Lv 80 today, bought enough Gems for the limited decor in Private Quarters, and it says Data Does Not Exist. Even after rebooting and downloading all the assets. Help please??
Nevermind, I fixed it. Had to go claim all the PQ login bonuses and use the beach ticket.
What is the average cube gain per month?
you're guranteed 168 cubes a month
commissions should easily push that over 200 a month if you're remotely active
250 would be somewhere around your upper practical limit
So more or less its possible to have guaranteed UR from the end to another release if you go from 0
yes
Uni + An is 20 oil, guess I'm not getting much lower than that am I?
does your oil and coin cap continue to go up with commander level or is it based on buildings
not really no
both
and guild upgrades
so it will go up as commander level goes past 105+ and you can use guild tech
at what point should I start investing guild coins into something besides dock space every so often
(on top of shop items on refresh ofc)
up to you really
the max commander level is 200 but the highest known is something like 196 last I checked
Is there a most effective way to use general blueprints?
highest level ship in that research level or analyze for coinable pr
left mob right boss, definately have much more space to improve but it works for now
is that hood sara and impero
thats good to know :D
I know that's Kawakaze, but I can only see FBK
yeah ikr, back then in 2024 thats really hard
impero looked like a good ship but I have a wealth of carrier already
nah well before that even
i started like late 2023 so i dont know much D:
I was talking about w13 in here the other day and someone said they did it back then with twin 113s for AA and hellcats
we have a lot better gear options now apparently
113 aa and hellcats are really good
that's still pretty standard for people clearing W13 today
im not saying they're bad, I'm simply saying there is gear above it that can be used now more easily for newer players than back when 13 was current
at least from what I've seen personally
when talking hellcats, they're talking gold ones right
cheekyman is level 151 
eh, the AL playerbase is just allergic to doing OpSi as a whole
why? I love opsi
tho i have to say, im not exactly sure who should be boss and who should be mob, especially the backrows, also i forgot if positions matter
it's like free xp and gear without oil
its repetitive and boring
and people cba to finish story puzzles
not knowing how it works, getting intimidated, and perceiving the rewards as not worth the effort
fair but you only have to do those one time and you can cheese it
among other factors
I know, but the playerbase as a whole doesn't seem to get that
I like having C1 farm as an option to bring lower ships into level range of safe 12 farming
the rewards are only worth if you plan on doing harder content tbh
the only part im struggling with is bossing
holy shit if I get the harmony siren again I'm gonna find my 13th reason
I don't do enough damage yet
I struggle with abyssal/stronghold
maybe you need some adaptive tunnings
I have over cap on tuning
Swap Hood and Alsace, swap Saratoga and Soyuz. Instant improvement even without considering the other ships you have in dock. Hood must be flagship
I just don't have good gear and ships really
will do
same
I can run c6 fine, it's just bosses that I struggle with damage on really
especially the one that self heals every fight
what about levels tho and skill levels
Which is to get rid of Hood for independence, if independence is level 115+
most of my mains are 125, and working on maxing skills
gear level???
most of my gear is poverty gear at this point
a few gold upgrades like flapjacks and white shells/research pieces

but still just getting going on gearing
pretty much a lot of 120mm twins, purple roombas, gold quad boms
shes retrofited lvl 100 rn, still farming for xp
dang. at this point you might as well just be lacking some healing rather than damage
remember to use your meds and stuff since they don't even give vouchers
fwiw my boss fleet is 125 Nina Friede, 117 enterprise, and 125 Yumia, frontline 125 sandy 120 eldridge 125 helena
I always time out
Why is Eldridge In the middle
when I was setting up my opsi fleets the other day someone told me put eldridge OT
but I mean, is that really gonna fix the issue of a lack of damage
ill try that but im not sure if they have enough AA
Middle is not the off tank position
Eldridge is also way tankier than Sandy
I thought so but I was just listening to people in the chat, idk, so is offtank the far right position of formation then?
Yes
send your gear rn
make a thread with like your entire fleet
tbf though, fuck OpSi
not a sentiment I share
Who, your mob fleet has AA problems? That's why you get rid of BBs. Boss fleet shouldn't have AA problems with Cheshire there and 2 UR BBs insta killing the boss
nah I'm just salty I'm broke as fuck rn, but why do ppl hate doing OpSi, besides it being a chore to do?
boss fleet seems to struggle a bit, i runned it like 2 times but its kinda rng, 1 failed 1 passed (13-4), failed as in flagship died
as I said, the initial clear is a bit of a PIA and the perceieved rewards are not worth the effort to your average player
you're not losing much of any AA and Soyuz and Alsace will kill much faster than Saratoga and Hood
becuase its boring, you get like minimal rewards unless you are a gameplay maxxer, story puzzles are annoying, it gets shoved in people's faces telling them they must do it, etc
i guess its just rng then, most of them on gold quad +10 and some on gold roomba +10
Let me build it out in the fleet tool to visualize better
I will say though I'd consider a fleet a fail if doesn't clear 13-4 effortlessly in 2025
opsi > exercises
Your fleet or gear Is just too weak then, wouldn't have been helped by Seattle either
XD, my gear is still stuck in 2024, i ran out of energy for opsi for today
you don't even really need OpSi gear for this
2024 gear is more than enough to steamroll 13
like the standard for gear in W13 is pretty much all stuff you get from tech boxes
and the core data shop, maybe a few AP guns from the protocore shop
i assume its roomba for AA?
yes
also this might be simpler to comprehend

yeah okay thats easier to read for sure, thank you
what are accelerator AA guns?
psyop
they just increase fire rate or what
hello, who is worth investing in between fritz rumey and hakuhou ?
things like damage, range and reload are averaged between all the aa guns of your fleet, accelerators are just to help/carry an specific thing or just to give some extra stats
no
what extra stat
for bb auxes, is it fine that i run black white shells or hsfcr + white is better?
accelerators are just fast AA to bring down the average load time
they dont give extra anything
you want HSFCR + white shell
hit for bbs, the fp for dds
they're specifically fast firing AA guns with usually poor damage meant to be used to decrease the AA gun reload time of your AA guns since AA gun reload time is averaged accross the fleet
thought accelerators weren't limited to reload mb there then @muted crescent
134 isnt an accelerator
and staag is backline
accelerators are usually a frontline term
stagg is kinda an accelerator I guess?
accelerator because we have no options
and it gives hit so
alright, thanks

but then again twin 57 and 76 exist
and 57 is basically an accel and aa carry. not that you should craft any in this age
you might still wanna if you really min max AA
well
wait what? we shouldn't craft any???
gotta pray before every clear
yeah see, not a consistent fleet
crafat twin 76 ur aa, not twin 57
That's definitely a gear issue if your fleet is almost dying in just 50 seconds
What gear is everyone using
i forgot what website people use to show builds

Updated Fleet Thread- Gearing for Opsi Boss/dedicated Mob Fleets.
They send a screenshot for each ship
If I asked for w15 fleet help would you guys gph me 
this is for boss
where Roomba
was on mob ship :(
she can
idk thats what i got recommend like ages ago
What is this New Memory for Watarase event about? Some 7 day login campaign?
just a new character/secretary story
i only have 2 gold roomba so idk who i should put it on
Is your mob really healthy?
yeah i doubt they struggle with AA if swap to quad, im trying that rn
Cheshire and Helena
aight let me test it out
is there any way to check my airstrike cooldown?
would this be useful for anyone?
Although you're better off using an online calculator to be more precise, ingame it's the cooldown on the planes in the equipment tab.
Yuudachi
i just did a run, thats crazy improvement on survivability :D, tyvm
no, it would be bad on the account of zero CC
what about hakuhou instead of amagi
or is the issue the BB
shame I sort of liked the idea of doing a backline of hakuhou shinano and oumi
you could if the enemy doesn't move much 
but also there's just better options than Omi 
I mean im sure I could get away with it in some places since I'm not as progressed as others but it wouldn't be worth the investment into shinano rn
oumi is probably the best BB I have at the moment
the only other options I have are nina friede who isn't completely awful, hood, penny, and a retro weevee I did for fun
I haven't been here for any UR's and I don't have warspite
or vanguard
wasn't oumi top gold bb tho
I think the problem is she's not good for that combo necessarily
heyy returning player from when PR3 got released and completely forgot the gameplay loop, other than catching up to events what stuff should i do daily/grind
like she'd be better with other carriers or a bb fleet maybe idk
I just don't like when the answer is "well just use lion or w/e" it's like saying to use event gear many of us don't have options
Exercises, daily raids, hard mode, operation siren (if we are talking about pure dailies)
You can throw in some ship leveling by grinding your highest comfortable world stage as well if you have spare time. We also have oil cap now, so running full fleets instead of low cost ones is actually quite viable now
Do daily raids to get the cog chips. Do hard mode daily. Do the other stuff that triggers daily missions. Do your opsi daily quests and burn some of your AP doing other stuff in opsi, then burn oil doing D3 event map or highest world you can do.
which cog chips do u mean?
The blue looking chips that are used to push ships past lvl 100 to lvl 120 and from 120 to 125
ohh those, ty
kinda stuck on 25k oil rn, is there any way to burn it FAST fast or am i just here manually grinding away
25k oil goes away so fast if you really spam grinding. I went from 24.7k to 4000 in one day
I recommend using it on the event stages though. We have pretty nice torpedo bomber in the store and an Ultra Rare submarine too
ooo noted
If you have cubes, pull for the current Ultra Rare carrier
Try to do all the missions for Eldridge's retro event which is on right now too. Her retro is great.
Oh yeah that too. Eldridge is now no longer used for just pvp, surprisingly haha
She is now a UR if you can believe that
😭😭😭 last i properly played they only introduced the first gacha UR
We have soooo many now
Some are good, some you can live without
its kind of a headache seeing the many ships compared to muh UR warspite n sandy 
That first UR you mentioned, is now in the standard pool
the new UI was a bit of a headache too, they even gave roon (my beloved) a wedding skin after i left the game 
Oh yeah I am very fond of the new roon skin haha. But yes the new UI, especially the shop
You can toggle the old one if you want. It's in settings (doesnt affect shop ui though)
noted! ill come back if i have any further questions
Reacclimate yourself to the game, and have fun!
I feel like I am missing something, how do i get the currency for the Ninja Castle event?
Bolster defenses and collect or next wave
Useful?
not really if you have unicorn retro already
has +2 cvl AVI at lvl 120 i guess
Powercrept by Unicorn retrofit
I see i see
You can use her in case you got bored of using unicorn all the time . And she heal both main and vanguard . Plus doesnt matter if you are using uni or per when you can finish the battle quick
guys, who should I mlb next ?
BisZwei > Hakuhou > Yk2 > Raffaello > Mogador > Shimakaze == UvH
tho keep in mind Unzen rerun has been confirmed with no date announced yet
Do you have 4 UR bulins
In Yuudachi showdown, if I only bring Trafa for EVA debuff, is hit stat better than FP stat?
Up to like 95% to 98% hit rate, hit stat is better than FP stat from AA gun, white vs black shell, and augment
I just started, do you know who I should invest in?
That doesn't look like a just started, but you can use Oumi Perseus Enterprise Portland Helena LeHardi
Wellps like semi playing for a month
Is the UR gud?
how does UR exchange work?
Short answer: No one there right now except enterprise and eventually Hakuhou
Long answer: Go give this a read https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
Not at 3 stars, and you shouldn't use bulins on any UR ship unless you have enough to max in one go
Alr Ty
Use the fleet I gave you , max limit break everyone on it

is it worth buying more dock slots?
/gems
Gem Spending 101
Gems
in Azur Lane are fairly rare from an F2P perspective. However, the gacha in Azur lane does not require gems and their main usage is expansion of facilities like dorm, academy, docks and depot, as well as buying resources, resource packs, premium items (rings and name change), and skins.
As an F2P, you can get up to 4700 guaranteed gems (3750 for 3* clearing all 15 main campaign worlds, 800 for completing Bands collection and 150 for 8 days login campaign), not counting random gems from commissions or occasional bonuses from events or other sources.
Considering limited availability of gems for F2P players, even if spent exclusively on QoL upgrades, it is impossible to upgrade everything.
This is the recommended way to spend gems as an F2P:
- 3rd Dorm slot (300 gems)
- Dorm 2nd floor (500 gems)
- Dock space (remaining gems)
The main purpose of the dorm is for faster morale regen while grinding. Using ships with 0 morale will receive a 50% exp penalty and lose affinity.
The 2nd floor of the dorm will have the same number of slots as the 1st floor. While it lacks passive exp gain, it has faster morale regen. 3 dorm slots with the 2nd floor gives you a total of 6 slots, which is enough for your whole mob fleet.
Dock space is the biggest constraint for players. While this can help casual players collect all their waifus, there is also practical use in collecting ships - for later levelling to get their fleet tech on reaching lvl 120. These are important for players as they provide crucial additional stats that help players to tackle the hardest content (W14/15, H.Arbiters, CM).
Alternatively, players may consider getting the 3rd Academy slot for faster skill training or more dorm slots instead of just dock space (not recommended).
While players may opt to buy skins/rings with the F2P gems, this will come at the cost of QoL. It is recommended to only buy those with real money 💳.
dunno what kind of answer you want besides "Basically any carrier that isnt doing OpSi syncing"
That's the only thing you should be using your gems on outside of 3rd dorm slot and 2nd floor of dorm
should I retire my blue and purple ships then?
there's barely any space
as long as they're easily reobtainable, sure if you're that desperate
there is a reason why f2p should not use gems to buy paid skins
I'm not f2p
huh
In that case, spending on dock space expansion is also viable
btw what should i aim to craft in gear lab
Do you realize how vauge of a question that is?
Ratings of all worthwhile Gear Lab gear that new and old players should craft. Recommends how many of each gear to get and how important they are.
no cuz idc that much
A simple reference for what gear to equip in each slot for the most commonly encountered enemy types. Covers main fleet and vanguard weapons and auxiliaries.

Aight, so, how good is Hakuhou?
She's a good UR but not meta defining
Huge niche in anti heavy
great for anti-heavy
Does she power creep anyone?
Shinano
Wait, actually?
Yes
If you don't want a stop you can run Shinano/Amagi/Haku, but otherwise it's Amagi/Haku2/Imp
now it's Amagi + HKHO + Imp/Lion 
I have no idea what her nickname is going to be.
HKHO works
Taihou II
hakuhou is more than enough
you have fun with that 
Yeah it's more than enough, which is why we need to make it less
anyway HKHO works for me it keeps her name intact and only 4 letters 
If I tried to get all the event characters on banner will that be a bad idea?
how many cubes u have
134 and only chapter 6
it would be bad yes
get hakuhou and dip
unless you're a collector there isn't much reason to get all the ships off the banner 
I wanna collect but it seems bad for the future in case I don’t have enough for the next lr
Idek what’s good in this game besides the starter ships I was told about in the guide
UR is good, so save for next UR
we do have a UR rerun floating around, so ya at that cube count not really worth it
should i use my merits to buy south dakota, i know i probably won't use it but merits don't seem to have much use otherwise
nah, save them for Cubes and Gold Bulins
you can buy cubes?
I believe it's only a quantity of 1, but yes cubes are technically in the rotation for 2,000 merit a piece
did they accidentally remove the ninjatown shortcut on JP 
go to #bot-spam spam for personal bot use
wait is there a shop priority list
just bookmark https://azurlaneecgc.com/
I don't think one exists for merit, but there's others
ah, so there is 
do the higher world maps cost more oil to run?
higher chapters have higher oil caps, from ch9 onwards
if before ch9 or if for clearing before oil cap kicks in it just depends on what you use
oh okay that makes sense, it's weird tho because 12-2 and 12-3 costed different
oil cap also progressively increases within a chapter, from x-1 to x-4
ah i see ty
What is the "manage projection" button on shipyard?
Guys what is the build for I-404 again. Does it use Bidder? Does it need Snorkel
astral projection from the wiki you can place same PR/DR ship but with different skin
What should I get on the event banner before I stop gambling and save up for stuff?
the UR
👌🏻
allows you to set a ship as secretary with multiple skins being displayed
Bro...m
Have you already tried force closing and relaunching the game?
I tried but it's still the same
on mobile or on emulator?
Mobile

Should I delete and redownload?
how does this help the person bruh 
try to repair assets
how do i suppose to help...........im not a dev
neither am i
if restarting the game cant solve it welll uhhh
maybe u can uninstall the game and touch grass
I'm literally done touching grass

have you tried
I'm doing it right now
is that the only thing has problems or?
i guess they havent fully optimized for 64bit
need so to help me arrange these torps for I-26, I-58 and I-404
yea turn the mark VIIIs into bidders
everyone else runs g7s
who are bidder? I-26 and I-58?
gear lab bidders
just put them on your best sub
everyone else runs g7s and mark 16 i guess idk
ok thanks
Guys does the skin of shinano that got banned will have a rerun. This upcoming mainte..sorry to ask it here
Maybe
#game-news already tells you wats coming on the upcoming maint
wait, do we get a free watarase next upd
No lol
bidders on i58 probably, u could swap them to i26 if she's raised more or u dont have 58's aug. g7e/g7a otherwise on the other sub. 404 can get whatever's leftover for now since u probably cant even lb her, g7a/type 95
I don’t have bidders:c
u cant make them in gear lab?
I said lab esrlier
do you need to use sub 
when there are still people coming into gph asking for help clearing worlds below 13, why not use the free damage available 
I’d like to fix their fleets and deter people from suggesting bad fleets
Considering how easy w13 is
Then again, why waste resources on bad bad subs
when the free damage is almost only like a few crit from your bb, it's not worth the time and resources
because bulins arent resource gated, and even purple subs do significant amounts of damage
Bulins are time gated and why not use it to put in actual tech ships
That actually improves your account in the long run
there is no way tech helps a player progress more than a purple sub fleet
when their sub gear look like this i'd rather farm for more bidder/g7e from lv65 before start gearing them
sub > tech for new player, throwing few sub for like so they just exist is prolly fine, no need for optimal sub
A purple sub fleet is irrelevant for any account, idk why this is a debate
you doing it as a side thing, not full focus
and i don't think we've failed to help people through w13 without using sub at all
i mean its not needed
Throwing cogs, bulins, coins, plates at bad subs and subpar gear is just not optimal lol
why cog
just have it at w/e lv, whatever gear lv and be done
its just some more dmg
If the question is “should a new player invest resources in purple subs”
I’d confidently say nah
the resources are negligible/whatever you have leftover, the cost is negligible, it sounds like none of u have used purple subs and know how their damage compares
like same can be said for tech, doing those along the way is good but having target for specific one is also bad
exactly, we dont use sub and never encounter an issue, so why waste extra oil LOL
its not specifically a bad idea, its just most of the case not needed yes
use sub>defeat w13
dont use sub>defeat w13
so what's the point
if it's for higher lv of daily raid, or w14, then by all means
but im sure shynano's case isn't this
i'd rather he divert his expbooks into raising better ships
and diverting his extra oil into leveling the better ships
i raised my subs to 115 and let them there cuz the only use of them for me is weekly raid
because why would u not? u can clear w13 on subpar fleets, would u ever say it doesnt matter and that people shouldnt optimise them better? raising them early sets u up in good stead for later worlds and gives u margin to clear if ur ships/gear arent quite there. you're not chucking in exp books or treating them as anything other than the lowest priority, u are dragging them along for very little and getting an overcommensurate amount of damage in return
read the last 2 lines i sent again, that's the answer
read my last sentence then
Read deez
how can you level them if you dont exp book or use them in battle that cost oil? lol
you're not addressing my points
because i think their oil cost is low and more than justified by what u get for it
but aint that subs are lack of uses?
we dont even really need subs to beat w15 at all
“We”
at 12-1 it's 17 per battle, that's almost half of the mob. do it over time and it will accumulate enough to justify not investing in shit submarine that doesn't really change anything from w1 to w13
u dont need good tech to clear endgame campaign either, doesnt mean people should ignore it
in that case i'd consider raising them or not due to the lack of uses or raising them when i dont have any shipgirls left to lv up
subs are not necessary for OpSi either
simon i dont think you're in the same wavelength as us
oh i thought u r talking abt subs
Bros in a alternating current 
we are but you're completely off the point about what we're talking about
doesnt really change anything
u can clear with worse fleets earlier in a new player's progression, and now u have a (not shit! a decent) sub fleet to help u going into w14

Since when lmao
i dont think we've had any issue with clearing campaign with what the players have in this channel that require the use of sub, AT ALL.
the logic doesnt follow to me because you can justify any myriad of subpar decisions with that argument
Since people stopped having skill issues
Which was when the game first launched because subs aren’t required for anything
you do you then, we're just gonna continue to do what we have been doing on this channel
The UR sub torp , should i craft it and give it to I401 ? It is not magnetic type though .
if you have to ask, likely not
where do u got these parts? i knw some are on maps, archive and store but idk abt the other
research, protocore shops etc
check the proto core shop for more detail........
ok bbg
so when it comes to the stats of weapons
what makes a good weapon?
looking at dmg 12x6 for example is that good or FR rate whats a good # etc
the fp stat isnt as relavent as other such as total alpha damage per load, fire rate, ammo type, maybe spread, firing pattern, modifiers, efficiencies
trying to learn all these and figure out if somethings good or not is so hard lmao
have u checked the wiki yet?
There is always those youtube video.
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide
this could give you a better idea of what guns are good for each content, then just compare its stats to other weapons
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/fleetsandgear/gearsituational
start by reading this, then if u want to understand why a gear is good/bad by yourself give me a ping afterwards
thanks! man there is literally so much i was hoping to get it dumbed down lmao
damn 3 different sources
what you do in this moment is to cross reference 
if u dont care enough and just want to equip good gear, just follow the qgg/ectl recommendations afterwards
diff sources but all r reliable though
i just dont have alot of the gear on the recommendations yet on the wiki so im just trying to differentiate between the purples i got
just use what u have first, ask astrata and others when u want to craft a gear
ectl has more transitional gear listed than the qgg then, but if u dont have the poverty stuff at all then just equip what youve got and keep playing because early content is pretty forgiving anyway
are they? that is for the user to deduct
u really think there are many options for a newbie to choose?
yes
since he hasnt touched OpSi for mats yet
i also do not know if they are new, and how do you know they havent done opsi
base on his depot?
what does that tell you
actually are there any youtubers yall can recommend for info? that'd be helpful
opsi crafted materials come in the form of gear lab
suchiguma for sure
none for newbies
but none for newbies as mori said
None, the actual "good" ones are mainly meant for late game min maxing 
im gonna overcap pvp
i am not nice
-# Assume MAX RLD,oath,+13 
average suchiguma setup
maint tmr right?
yes
maint on 19th
oh nice a day off for my oil to rec
they said short could be only a couple hrs
short=6
6h maint that would be 11pm after maint
Kind of a stupid question. Is there any "good" way of getting oil? Or is it just wallet, canteen, and commissions?
Been farming the event currency and ran out 
touch grass for 2 days and u will have oils to use
Makes sense 
not only u r facing this problem




Don't forget about the storage from mail too, assuming you haven't already gone through it
Game be like:
u can do opsi while waiting tho
What happens when I enhance my gear to level 13? Honestly, I don't fully understand this, and what gear should I prioritize to reach that level?
Should I get i 404 even if I don't use subs?
Hoo okay, thanks sir
of course, free UR with amazing crossfleet
get her stick her in sub slot and forget maybe level her skill
between the 2 new URs, who get bulin priority?
hakuhou
to buy additonal dock slot from guild do i have to buy it myself?
Wich more hard to get. Cube or drill
cubes have more uses cases but you get less insta builds per day
yes
the guild unlocks the upgrade, then you have to buy it
ok thx, it also said i dont meet the criteria, how to lvl up guild criteria
weekly mission, trade materials for guild coins, participate in guild ops
is it worth getting second copy of the UR sub?
If you can afford it (aka buy all the other stuff you need from shop too), sure
cubes
considering they're your gacha currency
you can very easily make without drills
wait isn't there supposed to be maintenance rn?
tomorrow
oh
How long will it take to fill up oil. Like without paying anything. Like 1 oil Every what? 1 min?
assuming you don't spend it but claim all you can get (including commissions), should be 2-4 days depending on your level.
hi
i got the 150 blueprints of FdG and Agir from research focus, who's next? Anchorage? Kitakaze? whowhowho
yes
Anchorage?
Anchorage, yes
OHWHAT. I can get 300 blueprints from research alone??
well. that makes it a lot faster
the reason is that those 300 are shared for all PRs per season
is uss the egale boxes?
ohh.. so, i can only focus one PR per season
the rest i'll have to do from scratch/zero
yup, just the DRs got their own counters
Finally got Eldridge do I just focus everything on getting her retro
do we have a list of equips from Mementos that are worth getting?
Beaver Squad Tag for sure and Nelson's Pennant if you use her are the most notable iirc.
https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment some of them are listed in the Aux section of some hulls. But I don't think there is a specific list for them
mainly theres eagle union damage control and thats it
pearls tears can be useful too
other ones are mid or bad
what does fleet lock mean?
It means you bypass the screen where you can rearrage the ship positions in the fleet before fighting
oh aight, that definitely missed that. Also, I didn't realize it was samheart the guy with the website. thankies!!

Is this how you level up characters?
Thats how you enhance
No, you level them by doing missions. This is just to increase their stats
So only passively?
Also should I enhance those 4 characters in the guide?
you gain exp mainly by using them in sortie, or in dorm through dorm food, or by using exp books.
enhance all the ships you're using
What is sortie
Fight battle combat
this button basically
not a waste
For guild? I always do 3x600 coins there
I thought I was getting the gold but instead I spent it. by the way what do I get in return?
Idk if there's even an option you'd prefer to coins as newbie
please donate to guild for mission
you get guild coins
Contribution points, guild coins, guild gets funds iirc
I have a lot of guild coins I bought those four characters but where do I spend the rest?
I'm trying to get the new ur character
guild shop ie retrofit mats
sortie with them or use exp books, that's enhancing their stats
how do i use exp books? cant find the page, pls help
click the boost exp
Only use them when you're leveling a new ship. Like if you're whole main fleet is high level and you want to level a new ship from lvl 0 to 70. That's when you use books.
Go into any ship page, unde the equipment you see the levels, press boost dp
Thanks guys!
still finding a "way" to fix my oil
not the subtle hakuhou flex
just XP farm in C1 of OpSi if you have nothing else to do
C1?
sounds like a good plan
Corrosion zone 1
why specifically Corrosion Zone 1?
It's a net positive of AP. You know how akashi shows up as shop in the zones? That ones sells AP boxes as well, and the zone cost is lowest
its a gamble
Yes but usually it's a net positive, unless you get really unlucky
should i craft type 98 kai or mk7? i dont have any ur bb but i got sandy retro
or should i get the rainbow mouse aa?
Wyvern

is it too fast or smt?
The bug
alr then
wdym lol it's the best gun for sandiego isn't it 

Fast guns means she can't get the best of her augment
Best would still be mog gun lol
i thought her skill trigger ever shot
But a lot of things want that so
no, i tested and mog is behind twin100 on sandy


on challenge mode, 10mins on both. 3 average
The bug occurs only if there's multiple enemies if you saw suchi's recording in the bug report
That's why you saw that result

yes that's fast gun isnt it. i dont think twin100 is fast
i mean not as fast as the peashooter
im still pretty sure sandy prefers 100 than mog

what does this means
just give her rainbow duck
onsen disappeared only for me?
can store 1 extra airstrike
oh wow
lets the carrier store one more airstrike, effectively useless on auto
happened to JP too then we got a hotfix
why would we even need 1 extra stored airstrike lol
its friday might be tue when we get our hotfix
🕹️
oh patch notes out for tomorrow
seems like the oath skins are not tomorrow but next week
yeh
It disappeared for me after restarting the game. Can someone try restarting the game and tell me if it disappeared for you?
they were also week 3 for CN I think
gone for me too. access through Amahara
bug, wait for fix
Ok, thx
Amahara>UR exchange>complete event, and you'll be in onsen ninja castle, with onsen
-# gaem wants you to forget about onsen
oath skins = wedding skins?
oh I just checked, time to switch out my Musashi's skin sjdfhsdj
is there plus14 guide
is 600,000 the cap for oil in the mail do we know if they are ever going to increase it?
not for me i guess
my oil
🥷
interesting
i believe it disappears after you claim all the special login rewards
uh......
it is still there for me
dunno then but it is mapped to the wrong event so it disappears after you meet some condition
for protocol, you can also go onto the event-page in notifications and from there into the event proper. It is still there
does bayard still receive exp in data collection even tho le hardi can't earn exp due need limit break?

Oh alright then. Thx for info
hey guys, what does the star mean in the formation? (one with red border)
I have few UR Carriers i haven't build yet. Implacable hakuryuu york II, who's the best to focused first?
the tank
thanks
from left to right,
flag top bottom, left tank, middle, offtank
Should i pick the 30min D research if my cube now is 160?
It gets removed after you restart the game. I think the condition was the release of patch notes/last reset
never do cube analysis if ur cube is under 400
👍
simply due to story-reasons. Could the Tempesta-Events be cleared with a Tempesta-only Fleet?
i dont get it
Who should I replace with i404 and what gears?
mb, forgot this is gameplay help

iirc youre a newer player, tempesta ships require heavy investment with core data gear, so probably not for u
not that new, really. Comfortably pacing along while lvling and clearing stuff.
shouldn't be an issue, in fact the EX was made easier if you use full tempesta
oh, really? Neat. Then its lvling-time... Skills and all.
luckily, Gaji heals reasonably well

do u have any of their gear other than the blue defaults
yes. And i can buy more, too
both Aux and Guns. Well, the one gun, the 12 Pounder
yeah, youll be wanting another 5, so 5 months and 4k core. and ganji and sao will need their guns too
-# you can do it
ah, an Admiral of Culture. I bow my head
i can equip 3 Ships fully when it comes to gun. Or 2 and an M, i suppose.
just level a few at a time instead of full fleet nearly got my ass handed back to me in 12-4 lol
Is it okay to postpone a 2nd white shell if I plan to use Nelson all the way to W13 and have the means to mlb Rodney and get nelson's pennant? Don't have a lot of good options for torp bombers and the barracudas are just not dropping right now so I'm thinking of picking up a breguet
That is, are we likely to have a rerun for the first Tempesta-Event this year? Should be in their schedule, given the Fountain-Event was 2 years ago
Also, third Tempesta V-Slot. Galley or Portsmouth?
it wouldnt be wise to attempt it now since investing in a tempesta would hinder your progress. then again the game has no satisfactory ending so it's up to u to decide what u like about it and if it's self made faction challenges then. 
galley
that is good. I found Portsmouth to be... not to my taste in design. Thanks!
rental tix reset tomorrow?
i dont think so, you will receive 3 more instead
i dont think so, u will recieve 3 only
so i can have 6 tomorrow?

Is this a good idea?
No, purple rodney
oh you meant mlbing rodney to get nelson's penant
my bad, reading issue
work on crafting a wyvern, that will help out
I'm afraid the wyvern is still far away for my alt, thanks anyway :)
any guide to single father simulator?
(tb)
i mean u only can have 3 tixes during the banner
erm idk honestly
😔
cant find it but there's a thread called "ask your tb problem" or something
https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1204845559790440488
am i wrong that we gonna have another siren to raise up
hopefully XD
is I 404 not crazy broken like we basically get an extra aircraft carrier every sortie
havent tested her (havent touched her tbh) so eh idk
Are you able to do fate simulation with Ägir? Somehow for some time I can't start the simulation with Ägir although it's already 120. When I want to exchange Blueprints it says it's around 200 missing to complete her. Cannot add anything to her if I click on the button
for a sub she is considered crazy broken, that much we can agree
no fatesim for agir yet
no fatesim for her yet
Oh okay, thought it was buggy. Thanks for the quick reply
coins up ur ancho eh
the game will have the option to reserve 215 bps for your DRs, whether they have FS5 or not
is the rainbow torp worth using over g7e
only if you have tons of RLD
if you have to ask, no
that totally doesnt involve min-maxing RLD (reload) with cats* sorry no fleettech
there're no fleet tech for sub RLD
-# that's the main problem

what’s the purple submarine notes aux thingy and how do i get it
core shop if this is what you mean
mine doesn’t have it
oh it’s there thx
-# petition to revert to old shop ui
How cooked are you if you skip this UR
is hakuhou still bulin prio over i 404 if i already have like 6 maxed UR aircraft carriers
You're not completely screwed over, but ideally you'd be able to get her
what does hakuhou do that’s so important or meta
hakuhou powercreeps shinano
are we deadass there’s no way
heavy is now Amagi + HKHO + Imp/Lion 
if you can find a boss that doesn't move you can run tripl IJN
its not like shinano got nerfed
useless is a hard word. She is still a powerful carrier. And much easier to get for most players then Haku, especially in 2 weeks time
ight but uh what’s that golden augment in this vid
Homura's augment probably?
TL;DR is submarine is still very niche and hence lower prio
carriers aren’t powerful, their planes mostly do the work
where do i get that
event locked
not just event locked, it's a collab so good fucking luck on that one
not the point that was argued about
-# but srsly i want goldburn to appear in shop someday
"carriers aren't power" the fuck you on mate?
silly me
That's not even correct when something called skills exists
they’re basically floaty airports in design
should give carriers stratagems like helldivers
14-inch dreadnought batteries!!

kindly dont.
roger that
how to get rid of this alert icon?
might be 3d dorm stuff
aw shit i dont have most of the equipment or ship
-# i have all the stuff but have not found the inspiration or inclination to clear them lol
mine is always from meowficcer dorm
I went through the private quarters but nothing sticks out to me 😭
🤔 still raff good at mobbing
can you open the HQ and share a screenshot?
when you press hq it should have the same symbol on the place where it is
visit the shop, click on the stuff, it's usually notification for the latest gem furniture shit
ts is my best shipfu so far
where do i get gold recon aircraft
if you mean the Bearcat then PR7 or protocore shop
just level them up to 120/125, get two of 155kai from gear lab, w14 is easy with your dock
meanwhile the only rainbow gear
in case im lacking of steam catapult, is angel's feather a good alternative?
whats 155kai
/wiki triple 155 kai
