the gun

[wind hazel]

i will never forgive bridal z23

[molten zinc]

this thing

[amber walrus]

oh

[amber walrus]

man fuck i spent the report shit on soemthing else just now 😭

[fierce lantern]

What list is this

[hoary relic]

ecgc weapon guide

[wispy cosmos]

it's a good avi aux if u dont have cata/sidegdades yes

[hoary relic]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/

[hoary relic]

🤔 what abt the purp aviation tank?

[molten zinc]

you can brute force with other gun if you wanted to since I don't even craft any 155 Kai for W14

[eager marsh]

I downloaded one of the girl's room and emptied the energy now it's gone

[wispy cosmos]

what about it, it's the poverty option

[hoary relic]

[civic crag]

is there any point of sub fleet in opsi

[wind hazel]

free damage

[hoary relic]

not at all

[civic crag]

tuff

[hoary relic]

i barely (never actually) use subs in OpSi

[wind hazel]

[gilded carbon]

why? ^^'

[late flame]

as for why scroll up a bit

[wind hazel]

she isnt responding to my dms 😭

[hoary relic]

cuz of this

[molten zinc]

she ghosted him

[vital nexus]

Is there any merit to building a fleet around queen Elizabeth's royal navy faction buff?

[late flame]

nope

[tropic tusk]

thers love

[soft raft]

Nope
It doesn't change the fact that she's still a dogshit elite BB

[hoary relic]

why would u use eliz

[tropic tusk]

cause love

[molten zinc]

I mean you can try if you at end game and have nothing to entertain yourself

[gilded carbon]

she could do with a good Retrofit

[molten zinc]

but as a newbie then the answer is a big NOPE

[vital nexus]

I see, I would call myself a mid game player atm, trouble is, that fleet is my strongest

[hoary relic]

[vital nexus]

Unicorn, illustrious (until vanguard is ready) Eliz, charybdis Jervis and Hermione

[plain saffron]

Anything new tomorrow patch?

[atomic abyss]

skins mostly

[supple wraith]

how important is it that I try and desync my mob main fleet?

[hoary relic]

skins and lores i guess

[atomic abyss]

also i see nagami has gotten into horse

[atomic abyss]

strongly encouraged, but dont think too hard about it

[plain saffron]

I love horse

[supple wraith]

question is do I even have the tools to desync?

[atomic abyss]

yes

unicorn is desynced with other regular carriers

[supple wraith]

could I ask for help in how to do it?

[soft raft]

Whole lotta mid good lord
That's being hard carried by Unicorn

[atomic abyss]

by nature

you can

but at your level it's as easy as changing gear

[vital nexus]

Is it over kill to have Jervis and Unicorn in the same fleet since they both heal?

[supple wraith]

actually how do I even check their syncing?

[late flame]

-# or do fun shit like this, but yeah faction fleet is a meme

[soft raft]

No cuz Jervis heal isn't as cracked as Unicorn's
But the rest of your vanguard is just terrible

[atomic abyss]

at your level you can jsut refer to the in game cooldown calculations shown

CVLs like unicorn have higher reload and will be desynced from other carriers

which have lower reload

[supple wraith]

cooldown calculations?

[hoary relic]

do i really need a twin 457 for w14?

[late flame]

/calc

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Calculator for precise fleet reload times by mrlar

[vital nexus]

It seems I still have a lot to learn with fleet crafting

[hoary relic]

for mobbing fleet

[gilded carbon]

yes. Welcome to AL. ^^ Dont worry, it will come in time and were here to help.

[vital nexus]

Ty

[atomic abyss]

need?
no

want, yes

if you're using musashi you wouldnt need a 457 on mob

[vital nexus]

I had misconceived that putting ships of the same faction together was a sure-fire good idea

[late flame]

whatever faction benefits does not outweigh having non-good ships in fleet

[gilded carbon]

if you are needing more immediate tips, screenshot your collection of Ships and post it in a thread

[gilded carbon]

dont worry. A mistake that many made at the start ^^ Nothing to worry about.

[wind hazel]

treat them as a bonus if fulfilled, but don't build around it for campaign

[wheat ore]

how much grinding is recommended for the event stage is it to 4000 points?

[wind hazel]

55000

[wheat ore]

wiat what's the max again?

[late flame]

really depends on what you want out of it

[gilded carbon]

but you still have 2 weeks, so plenty of time to grind. ^^

[hoary relic]

what if i use raff?

[late flame]

80k for max rewards but there are folks who have grinded way beyond

[wind hazel]

no max. there's a last reward milestone, but there isn't exactly a hard max

[vital nexus]

All of it? Or just my fleets and where should I put them

[atomic abyss]

preferably 457
could just use a champy otherwise
with fire control radar

[gilded carbon]

all, usually. Or only gold and rainbow, most of the time. If oyu are very new, purple too

[wheat ore]

oh but yeah i meant like what is the points need for max reward lol, i'm not sure how useful is the stuff after the bulin for me. So i'm not sure if i should spend my oil doing my campaign instead

[hoary relic]

i guess i'd craft 1 457 then i have enough mats for 2

[wind hazel]

it's very worth it to get until the 55k reward

[gilded carbon]

there is also a very in-depth guide for starting the game wich is just recommended.

[wheat ore]

okay will do, ty

[atomic abyss]

do grab one from protocore if you have some to spare
assuming you already grabbed the more important stuff

[wind hazel]

you can do some maths and calculate remaining days, multiply with daily rewards+daily bonus from normal+SP, and spend the minimum oil to reach 55k by the end of event

[supple wraith]

idk if its just me but this seems pretty synced which is not what I want right?

[atomic abyss]

no that's perfectly fine

you want it to be this desynced for campaign

[vital nexus]

What sort of thread? I'm still new to discord

[supple wraith]

eh I thought this wasnt desync enough

[atomic abyss]

no it's enough lol

[wind hazel]

1~2s apart is good

[atomic abyss]

anything beyond that is gonna cause your damage to crap itself cos you're using worse stuff

[inland shoal]

Synced usually means you have all three really close to each other, like no further than a second apart, often less

[supple wraith]

yes but the goal is to desync this tho

[atomic abyss]

the whole point is for there to be enough time for the previous strike/salvo to clear the screen

[supple wraith]

which apparently is already desynced enough

[gilded carbon]

click on the plus next to where you write. There should be a thread-open option. Looks like a spool of wool. Just open is, name it and write Hi inside. Afterwards you can post pictures in it

[atomic abyss]

thorin provided you an example of what synced is

[inland shoal]

Yeah I'm just saying you're not synced, so dw

[atomic abyss]

so you know what not being synced is

[supple wraith]

ah

[vital nexus]

Current dockyard

[late flame]

-# i hate helena challenge mode

[native robin]

Q in research has the most chance of getting gears right? while H has the most blueprints

[late flame]

/research

[odd root]

credit: Newbie#1553 and Lunar#7777 https://i.imgur.com/wGQkqJk.jpg

[inland shoal]

Yes
But any H other than 1h is kinda bad and even 1h is only if you have a lot of cubes

[supple wraith]

so this one basically has very bad syncing for a boss fleet aye?

but like how do I get around the cooldown reduction from rainbow table?

[inland shoal]

Yes, but sync is probably not rly that important at your lvl

[supple wraith]

when should I be thinking about it then?

[inland shoal]

You only rly need sync to align your strikes with your buffs and boss stuns or to get around boss mechanics

[native robin]

understood

[split gazelle]

You'll encounter it first in your BB / CV OpSi fleets

[wind hazel]

you also dont wanna use bf109g for campaign most of the time

[supple wraith]

I mean this aligns with Helena Radar Scan a bit ig

[supple wraith]

oh... aight we switching out of those ig

oh Reppu is basically same timing

[inland shoal]

Yeah Helena radar scan has a pretty long window so the sync doesn't have to be all that tight
But yeah campaign bossing is a bit different cuz it still has mobs so you don't even rly use the full ST strats there

[late flame]

*Single Target

[supple wraith]

icic

[native robin]

can you tell me more?

[supple wraith]

how about this one, when do I start making these? I'm close to clearing OpSi story

probably because no AA capability? Which is bad in a fighter slot

[wind hazel]

you usually want fighter with intercept capability, otherwise you'll run into AA issue, especially since hakuhou already using converging tb

[split gazelle]

When you have enough units to make them. BB fleet requires 3 BB's, CV requires 3 CV's with August von Persival for freeze.

[supple wraith]

oh AvP is a research right? hmm I dont even have Anchorage yet sfjsdhf but I do have a few decent BBs and CVs here and there

[whole crypt]

BBs just easier to use

[supple wraith]

guess I wait for AvP

[whole crypt]

besides getting AvP you also need to get a whole bunch of planes

[gilded carbon]

i may need a few more opinions in a thread somewhere above, please

[native robin]

I see

[supple wraith]

yea but to get planes we need to farm OpSi and to farm OpSi I need fleets and fleets need planes and...

[wind hazel]

you can get gold hellcat from techbox

they last until you can craft a few flapjack

even purple corsair suffice

[supple wraith]

frogplanes

[split gazelle]

does anyone have the recent protocore spending image

[supple wraith]

oh I have planes then

[split gazelle]

ah so only saiun is recommended now from protocore

[supple wraith]

ykno what would be nice in that pic? Having the usecases on the side

[wind hazel]

that's what quick gear guide is for

[supple wraith]

you know what, you have a point

not me prio-ing Daisen gun tho

[split gazelle]

prioritize the champy/flandre guns first as you will need those to setup your BB fleet, seeing as you can only buy 20 BP/month and need 25 for one gun

[supple wraith]

oh I already have one Champy

I guess I can buy prints for Flandre gun now as I still have more of the stuff tho that delays my Tenrai a bit

was buying Daisen gun as I have Musashi and it seems to just BiS for her on every content outside the need to sync

[gilded carbon]

then sry to ask, but i seemed to have missed it. Wich one is the Flandre and wich one is the Champy-gun?

[split gazelle]

champy

flandre

[gilded carbon]

Thanks!

[supple wraith]

actually question about BB fleet as it seems it should be the one I should be working on first, Musashi would still require to be on IJN main gun just because of the strength of the barrage right?

and then I sync the two others to her timing?

[split gazelle]

I'm still new as well so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I would suggest delaying tenrai to get started on your opsi BB fleet first, seeing as most stuff you will need eventually is from opsi.

[supple wraith]

understandable, you still a big help dw

[hoary relic]

uhh kinda

[atomic abyss]

that's not protocore

[hoary relic]

i mean i only have 4 pieces

[atomic abyss]

ah that

[hoary relic]

buying 46 pieces would be uhhh

i already crafted wyvern

also 10rai

im thinking of crafting another mk7 lol

[atomic abyss]

nah 1 mk7 is enough for now

2nd mk7 isnt high prio
even the first isnt

[hoary relic]

mk6 is kinda hard to sync for vanny

since i need vanny to fire first

[split gazelle]

This is beyond my knowledge seeing as musashi has a way faster gun than the other 2 BB you might have. So someone else would have to answer that

[vivid nebula]

Hi guys. Just wanted to ask what is FDG's best in slot gun is for mobbing? Thanks!

[hoary relic]

to buff lion and bis

[hoary relic]

an odd-numbered salvo gun?

[split gazelle]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide#main-fleet-weapons

[shell willow]

twin 457 mm should be best mobbing in general

[atomic abyss]

it is

[vivid nebula]

Ahhh this?

[shell willow]

yeah

[vivid nebula]

Like this then?

[wind hazel]

drop black shell

[vivid nebula]

For what?

[wind hazel]

ur table/hpfcr

[vivid nebula]

Wasnt playing when it was in shop both times unfortunately

Or actually no, I was but I didn't consider getting it since I was burnt out iirc

[wind hazel]

so hpfcr

[vivid nebula]

Should I +13 anything here or since she is for mobbing + 10 should be fine???

[wind hazel]

just leave everything at 10 if you dont know what to +13

white shell is good to +13 if you dont have one

[warped acorn]

is hakuhou for mob or boss fleet in campaign

[wind hazel]

the rest not so much

[vivid nebula]

Is this worth +13ing?

[wind hazel]

/plus13

[odd root]

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/images/equip_misc/%2B13_Priority.jpeg

[forest palm]

you shouldn't be partially upgrading past +10

[vivid nebula]

Yeah I figured that out really late

I have like 30 pieces of gear at +11 and +12

[forest palm]

as long as you understand

[wind hazel]

[vivid nebula]

Fortunately, more than half of them are ok and I am slowly catching up on gold plates

So I should have that number down by early next year hopefully

[vivid nebula]

Is it just me or is it super blurry?

[split gazelle]

discord limitation probably, open the image in your web browser

[forest palm]

open in browser

[supple wraith]

probably open in new tab

[vivid nebula]

I zoomed in already XD

Thanks

[supple wraith]

could I get suggestions on what BBs to raise alongside Musashi for a BB fleet?

[wind hazel]

ur

otherwise whatever BB you are using as well. like nelson maybe, maryland, etc

[vivid nebula]

I have 4 champy guns and 3 flandres. The 3 flandres are all unenhanced. Are they still worth raising?

[supple wraith]

is Nelson good?

[wind hazel]

dont enhance until you need them

[wind hazel]

decent if you dont have any better

like Oumi from banner is great

[supple wraith]

I have these SRs tho Monarch isn't dev30

[wind hazel]

get FDG

use any for 3rd filler for now, either you wanna continue monarch or raise nelson, just flip a coin

[supple wraith]

oof that fleet tech is rough

will work on it ig

[split gazelle]

iron blood gets x2 fleet tech so it's not the worst

[wind hazel]

IB is easy, you get double points

[supple wraith]

am at 160 rn xd

so am assuming I catchup FdG after Anchorage?

[vivid nebula]

I never understood if I should be sinking gold here:

[wind hazel]

just follow this https://azurlaneecgc.com/fleet_technology/#kms

[vivid nebula]

The upgrades are so expensive and I am low on coins

[wind hazel]

sure that works

[wind hazel]

just upgrade when you have coin, they give extra stats so it isn't all that bad

[supple wraith]

boy that's gonna take a while but aight, so something like Musashi FdG and Monarch/Nelson

[vivid nebula]

I mainly did them for cogs tbh

[wind hazel]

but not really a rush to upgrade either

[vivid nebula]

Thats quite a lot of barrage ships in one fleet

[supple wraith]

do yall do the big 8k coin cost researches?

[wind hazel]

no more like musashi fdg and oumi

[vivid nebula]

Musashi as his flag right?

[supple wraith]

oh icic and Monarch/Nelson temporarily takes FdG slot aight

[wind hazel]

idk i think oumi might prefer the flag in this case

depends on the fleet too i guess, like with ply or without ply

[whole crypt]

almost never

[supple wraith]

oh? is it cause her barrage is focused middle while Musashi's is locked-on lightning and basically can't miss?

[supple wraith]

oof ohwell I just sent 8k on a Meck research just now

[cobalt rapids]

@slow fox do you have subs ehp
does aa radar beat rudder for 404 in ch15 ?

[wind hazel]

yes and also the secondary gun

[inland shoal]

I do for DRs I like

[supple wraith]

what's with the secondary gun?

[whole crypt]

8hr DR face is probably not that bad

[vivid nebula]

Thats actually a good spend lol

[supple wraith]

oh cool but mah goldies

[whole crypt]

I wouldn't say good but it's not bad

[inland shoal]

Her skill gives her gun range, so if she's flag there's more she can potentially hit

[hoary relic]

isnt we need bis2 for meck?

[wind hazel]

...When gaining the 5th stack, increases this ship's Main Gun Crit Rate by 20.0%, sets her Secondary Guns' Range and Targeting Range to 95, and after the next time she fires her Main Guns, the loading time of her Main Guns decreases by 20.0% until the battle ends.

basically she wants flag for max coverage from her aux gun pewpew

[vivid nebula]

(For me its good since I want my meck to be dev 30 now) but yeah case-to-case

[supple wraith]

ohhh

[whole crypt]

even focusing on Meck it's more on the mid end

[echo vector]

Is the ninja castle mini-event over ?

[supple wraith]

when doing research focus, I am basically committing to finishing up all the prints for every ship in that season right?

[late flame]

due to a bug - the ninja castle icon disappeared

[inland shoal]

No, the button to go there just disappears probably when you finish the related missions due to a bug

[wind hazel]

there's a bug and it's missing from menu. Amahara>UR exchange>complete event to be taken to ninja castle

[echo vector]

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

[inland shoal]

Tbh if you don't do cube researches I think it's one of the best choices, but not like there's many great choices either way for focusing a single ship

[supple wraith]

and these researches yield what? 1 print? out of 350+ we need?

[wind hazel]

it's usually more getting the right ships+gear, because most series there are kinda useless ships that aren't really all that useful

[inland shoal]

8h is at least 3 prints

[supple wraith]

oh icic

what about season 8, are there standout ships/gears and ones to avoid?

[wind hazel]

you just want meck, and her gunx3+gouden, maybe 1 gouden gun as well, that's all

you will max out the other ship BPs chasing the gear, so dont worry lol

[hoary relic]

meck gonna replace alsace if we dev30 her right?

[wind hazel]

no

[hoary relic]

since meck need a pulling effect skill

[wind hazel]

maybe only for heavy and med

[inland shoal]

Need is a strong word

[hoary relic]

ye right

[supple wraith]

f this shit am out

[hoary relic]

meck?

still suffering from no oils

[supple wraith]

baby steps first ig

[hoary relic]

is that fdgmama?

i recognise through her thighs

[inland shoal]

I recognise her by the tech point requirement

[soft raft]

Lol

[late flame]

-# 690 pt requirement when

[red hawk]

if im trying to maximize opsi xp and rewards, should I be manually clearing red enemy fleets

that auto skips in hidden

[hoary relic]

just let auto-sortie do everything what u need to do is wait till it is done

[red hawk]

i mean after auto clears, it leaves a lot of ships that give xp and stuff

[hoary relic]

in hidden zone?

[viscid swift]

most of those give nothing

[red hawk]

yeah

i thought red had drops/xp blue none

[late flame]

opsi exp is also like.. uh

[hoary relic]

those enemies in hidden are pawns if auto-sortie ignored them

they give nothing

also auto-sortie help u collect rss nodes and crates

[red hawk]

yeah I mean I've been letting it auto clear up till it stops, but I was thinking since I'm just chilling here and waiting for oil to build up, and have the time while im doing the xp for IB mains on FDG, I should clear the rest of the xp mobs

cause they do give xp, but yeah it's opsi xp

it also adds up though

[hoary relic]

🤡 those pawns in hidden zones? they give no shit bruh

auto-sortie already helps u do everything

[red hawk]

i literally just killed 2 of them after auto sortie and both fleets gave several hundred xp...

auto search absolutely does leave behind pawns that give xp

[wind hazel]

do c1 loop, it's better than manual hidden

[red hawk]

I was kinda doing both after I got some AP from C1

got a bunch of ap, was doing some hidden nodes and planning on going back to c1

[wind hazel]

well i dont personally recommending clearing out all the mobs in hidden, but you may wanna pay extra attention for some crates that got stuck behind enemy/portal that autosearch miss

[red hawk]

yeah I do always grab those

[wind hazel]

that's the extent of minmax i would recommend personally

[red hawk]

the pathing gets a bit silly on auto sometimes

but it's just based on it's priority and obstacles

[late flame]

ai pathing is just sad

[red hawk]

it is hilarious though when it does a cat node, then runs across the map for crates, stops looting crates partway just to go across the map for another cat node

and come back to the crates

[hoary relic]

me who just set auto-sortie and go goon do smt else

[narrow kiln]

Can someone tell me what exactly is so good about Trafalgar?

[hoary relic]

EVA debuffer

[junior fractal]

Will 8-2 Hard Mode have a better drop rate for T2 and T2 retrofit blueprints than 7-2 Hard Mode? I'm assuming so but would love confirmation.

[wind hazel]

we dont know exact rate for BP, but it gives higher core data, so do 8-2

[red hawk]

does someone have the chart for opsi node xp

[junior fractal]

will do, thank you! I figured it's best to do the highest you can anyways. have a good one!

[edgy valley]

Shinano dupe or Jersey?

[forest palm]

Shinano

[lyric stump]

depends on skin. My dupes literal just skin carrier to show off apl skins

[forest palm]

#al-general ah opinion

[edgy valley]

[red hawk]

just a bump on if anyone has the opsi node chart

can't find it

[undone plover]

It is in the opsi wiki page

[red hawk]

ok ty I knew it was on one of the pages

too many guides to keep track of lol

my browser tabs are looking like my moms been on the computer

[undone plover]

Idk if we have a chart for hidden/explorable tbh

[red hawk]

I just really wanted to know this one, and I mean, the xp/fleet I would imagine should be close to the same for same corrosion level

C1 is the best for just general XP grind though looking at this

[undone plover]

Probably yeah
That would be my guess
This is base xp dont forget
So xp per ship will be base xp multiplied by 1.44 if S rank battle + morale bonus

[red hawk]

right right

and should always have morale bonus since I'm not running anything else

[undone plover]

Yes even more so since it should be AP neutral at worst

[red hawk]

akashi can be cruel

[undone plover]

U can add some ship with xp skill bonus for more but u are sacrificing 1 slot for higher eff on 2 other slots

[red hawk]

yeah I'm just loading up my back line with my back line IB ships for FDG and spamming C1

i need some new vanguard ships to level because i've capped most of mine that i've invested in, but I'm not sure who to start putting lb into

[violet grail]

Hi, I started playing 4 days ago. Was wondering if any of the ships in medal shop or meta shop are worth buying for a new player or should I save my currencies for now?

[red hawk]

use the new player guide and buy the ships that it recommends in the guild shop

[undone plover]

Good ships > fleet/faction tech
As simple as that

For vanguard DD FP is prio atm

[red hawk]

the meta shop ships are collectibles only, and then for medal shop, it really depends on what ships you have available for hull type

[undone plover]

Medal can be worth
Show what u have
Meta shop forget for now

[undone plover]

I meant what medal options u have

[red hawk]

for carriers- enterprise, for ca- San Diego, for DD Kazugumo, for BB Hood

[undone plover]

CL > sandy

[red hawk]

cl yeah sorry

CA is kinda whatever

[undone plover]

Spec core/kazagumo > gold bulins > baltimore/any CA for tech points
I would go for this prio

[red hawk]

at least for medal ships none that are favored like the other hull types

[undone plover]

For the CA u can skip if u dont get enough medal by the end of the month

[violet grail]

Many thanks for the advice!

[red hawk]

why is kazagumo valued? I picked her up on recommendation

[late flame]

air raid* assistance skill , and/or helps fulfill shinano ijn requirements

[wind hazel]

best vanguard with air raid assistance in the game

[violet grail]

Tbh Im mostly just running Oumi + Laffey now that oil costs are starting to get high so more ships probably isnt what I need yet XD.

[undone plover]

One of the best vanguards for pure CV fleets
Her skill (ARA) gives 15% dmg

She does suffer a bit more with the recent release of broken vanguards like z52 and traf and mixed fleets becoming more meta
But still top option for newbies

[red hawk]

oh ok well i guess she's next on my list to level for van

how about aurora, is it about her debuff?

[late flame]

VS Light armor* yes

[red hawk]

so aurora /saint louis is a good duo in a van?

[undone plover]

Aurora is the single strongest debuffer (after helena)
But she is only valid for 2 hull types

[undone plover]

Kind of yes
Since both excel in “anti light” dmg
But sanrui is less used late game

And aurora is niche
So dont use her outside her niche

[red hawk]

I just had her because of wishing well event pulls

[undone plover]

To put it into numbers
Aurora’s 20% eva rate debuff is ~25% dmg boost to typical late game BB fleets

[undone plover]

Sounds like someone followed the correct advice

[red hawk]

i ended up with avrora too lol

she definitely seems like a niche case ship

so much to manage- i need to not waste xp levelling maxed ships, but I shouldn't level ships just to level, it's a game of juggling what's gonna progress the account most + actually upgrade the roster

[wind hazel]

just level good ships

[slow fox]

I don't have sub eHP. But I don't think AA Radar would be better than Rudder (assuming composition of damage is 33% avi damage)

[silk helm]

does the onsen still exist? i can't find it in my game 🙁

[red hawk]

(all the good ships are limited) not really but feels like it

[tropic tusk]

after first release wait 2 years for rerun then 1 more for perma

[stark quiver]

Go to minigame
And the onset button should be next to the minigame start button

[wind hazel]

there's a bug and it's missing from menu. Amahara>UR exchange>complete event to be taken to ninja castle

[red hawk]

and by the time it's perma it's powercrept

[silk helm]

weird bug

[stark quiver]

What

[wind hazel]

what

[late flame]

-# smol indie developer plz understand

[wind hazel]

he doesn't know

[tropic tusk]

not really

[cobalt rapids]

oh i thought it would need to to be like 40% or more avi dmg from total but i went of zuihous hitrates
what hitstat do u us
wait nvm u said dont i read do

[atomic hamlet]

How Can i collect the last item for essex, i forgot to Play the minigames from last event lol

[red hawk]

is there any on the perma pool that you wouldn't consider somewhat powercrept or replaceable rn

[wind hazel]

you gotta wait next year lol

[atomic hamlet]

[undone plover]

Aurora pretty much

[red hawk]

no I meant UR's

[atomic hamlet]

[red hawk]

stuff like kron, jersey, all that seems to be not a big priority

[undone plover]

Shinano and vanguard perhaps
In that they can still be used for late game comps
But perhaps not the best
Since lion did powercreep every BB
But more supportive ships have more longevity

[forest palm]

NJ is more power creep reasons, and Kron just awkwardly lives in a space where there's just so many options available

[red hawk]

I mean they'd all be pretty much massive upgrades for what I have, I just meant by the time some of us f2p can get around to them they have either other cheaper options or something

[undone plover]

And musashi is still queen in campaign probably
Altho idk if lion is better with her pure dmg

[tropic tusk]

there was shinano but she finally got replace on this new UR

[wind hazel]

only if you have access to amagiCV

[red hawk]

she works with shinano too though right

[tropic tusk]

oh

[stark quiver]

Yes

[forest palm]

this is largely important

[red hawk]

if it wasn't for unzen rerun I would mlb shinano and run her with haku

[undone plover]

Well u could have shinano amagi hakuhou as BiS vs heavy if boss doesnt move I think

[stark quiver]

So hermit

[tropic tusk]

yesterday i was told haku is dead

[undone plover]

I think he meant hakuhuo not hakuryuu

[red hawk]

i mean azur lane is dead too, so

[wind hazel]

suchi said nagato (yes, nagato)+traf is stronger i dont believe him

[forest palm]

Amagi won't rerun till like what late 2026?

[red hawk]

all games are dead from the moment they start

[late flame]

-# omae wa mou shindeiru

[tropic tusk]

oh

[undone plover]

[red hawk]

I think I asked about this because Oumi is my best BB rn, but theyd be an ok trio as long as stuff didn't move from what I understand

if I really wanted to do shin/hakuhou/oumi

[slow fox]

I'll do the calc. One moment. How long is I-404 surfaced?

[forest palm]

yes, just pull Traffy out of the old magical hat

[tropic tusk]

we can now techly get 2 UR bulions per month right?

[red hawk]

isn't it like 2.5

[forest palm]

yes 2.5

[tropic tusk]

oh thats event better

[cobalt rapids]

3s + normal sub surface time
but the 3s are important to me

[dry meteor]

I offically ran out of oil, WHAT SHOULD I DO

[red hawk]

yeah that's why I was tempted to mlb shinano now, I got enough dupes of hakuhou to have UR bulins to use, but I know you shouldn't use bulins for shin but I wanna

[late flame]

Touch grass

[tropic tusk]

opsi c1 loop

[wind hazel]

play elden ring

[dry meteor]

I’m lv 57 💀

[red hawk]

haku still a good carrier without anything else though, compared to what I have

[dry meteor]

What is grass

[undone plover]

She is yes

[late flame]

Google it bro

[forest palm]

Haku would be fine and all but now HKHO exists, so she back on the bench

[undone plover]

@cobalt rapids do u remember if I asked u this
But what is avg wyvern vs flapjack AA?

[red hawk]

is eldridge slow good enough to make Haku/oumi/shinano better against more mobile opponents or not enough

[stark quiver]

Is 60% slow enough for the boss? Idk which one so

[red hawk]

I don't think I have any ships with a Peter Strasser like slow

[undone plover]

U really should clarify u mean hakuhuo when u talk about haku @red hawk
Ppl getting confused

[wind hazel]

AVP from series 4 is free

[undone plover]

Us boomers remember another haku

[forest palm]

if you're thinking of world 13 you're going to be using Parallel rather than Converging, and that's due to Taihou boss adds eating Converging torps

[red hawk]

im sorry, I'm still getting used to the names of ships and shorthand, same problem I have as a cardinals fan with St and Saint Louis

[late flame]

Worst case can use Ark Royal retrofit if no avp

[undone plover]

We usually use sanrui for the pr ship
Well I do at least

[forest palm]

using Ark feels like some real desperation type shit lol

[red hawk]

yeah that's what I hear, it's just funny because the team i'm a fan of goes by both

[stark quiver]

When someone says they use haku
They are either a meta pig or a clueless noob

[red hawk]

depending on where it's written

the old haku was part of the combo with shinano wasn't it

before the new haku

[forest palm]

no

[tropic tusk]

oh

[late flame]

Hakuryuu/amagi CV + shinano + kazagumo

[red hawk]

oh it was an option if you don't have amagi CV

[forest palm]

Haku was used before Amagi, and even then Haku was falling off prior. The funny thing is Haku just got her FS and then just got completely overshadowed by Amagi

[slow fox]

AA Radar beats rudder when 63% of incoming damage is AVI damage.

[wind hazel]

it was hakuryuu+shinano, then amagi+shinano, now amagi+hakuhou

next yamato+me

[cobalt rapids]

i mean they have the exact same guns but flap intercept is like 2s faster and flap also has 10 lower spd
so flap = better, by how much? ping guma

[red hawk]

best I can do is Oumi + Hakuhou + Shigure XD

[undone plover]

The reason haku was benched with amagi release was because we used implacable with that team since many bosses do require a slow/stop

[cobalt rapids]

thank you bot

[forest palm]

get Kazagumo

[undone plover]

Just to clarify

[red hawk]

I did she's unlevelled

[stark quiver]

I used level 1 nagato
Amagi cv and shinano

[forest palm]

even then August also existed

[undone plover]

I would take haku + eldridge at that point personally
AvP vs heavy is a meme

[forest palm]

Eld didn't exist back then in that capacity

[undone plover]

Oh fair enough

[red hawk]

isnt the retrofit a "newer" thing with the slow

[late flame]

all we need is a rainbow healer that can also do slow

[wind hazel]

2 years old

[undone plover]

~~No I demand an exact answer ~~

[red hawk]

this was the rerun

it was essex that was the new retro

[undone plover]

2024 en anni

[wind hazel]

oh right, not 2

[forest palm]

brother living in 2026

[red hawk]

so will eldridge do another rerun or end up in spec core shop

[forest palm]

the latter

[wind hazel]

i thought time flies, but time is sometimes slow 🪦

[undone plover]

She reran this anni
So will be archive next

[red hawk]

so 1 rerun then shop

[forest palm]

that's how it has been done for like 8 years

[red hawk]

i know yuudachi retro item is in there, but Im hearing that she's not really worth the cost these days?

[wind hazel]

yeah

[forest palm]

another ship that got a boost an then quickly power crept thereafter

[wind hazel]

her META is stronger 😭 powercrept by herself

[red hawk]

is her meta actually worth getting

[undone plover]

~~Augment coming soon ~~

[wind hazel]

well she's basically free

[red hawk]

I did dunkerque just because I hadnt done one yet for fun

[forest palm]

I actually clear 14 with Yuudachi Kai

[late flame]

FML still have to go back 6-4 for collection

[red hawk]

but I know Dunq Meta is garbo tier

so I wasn't sure about yuudachi meta

[late flame]

She's donut tier

[undone plover]

All showdown meta are worth getting
They dont take up dock* space and give resources in their analysis milestone
But probably not worth using when u have shipyard to work on

[wind hazel]

if you do meta daily, and get the enhance item from the reward, you can basically max her out, for no cost. just need to mlb+level her skill

[red hawk]

the cruise pass ones are all just collection fodder from what I understand

[undone plover]

And tech

[red hawk]

oh meta gives it's own tech?

[forest palm]

there's like one or two Cruise meta that see use, and it's for PvP

[undone plover]

Not the faction tech
The collection + level 120 tech

[red hawk]

like I said, I did dunq for fun, and she's purty but I'm not gonna use her for anything

I haven't really been doing much more than the daily meta showdowns

not levelling any others

[undone plover]

Aim for 25k
So if u decide to use em u have all the crystals

More is better for more resources ofc

[red hawk]

yeah mainly was aiming to have them able to be mlb long term

since it's not really that costly to do

[undone plover]

I stay at 25k because I want to bully test them later when they archive when I am stronger

[red hawk]

what do you get beyond 25k

[undone plover]

Coins cog chips books and meta mats

[late flame]

-# Modney* at 25k because i sucked at one shotting back then

[undone plover]

I think everyone did for rodney outside of some super boomers with max CA tech or sth like that

[red hawk]

I guess Im missing something, whats the point of staying at 25k then

[river junco]

you get all the crystals needed to mlb the meta ship

[late flame]

If you cleared it (i.e.70k) then no dossier to fight

[red hawk]

this is the statement that confuses me, if its a joke i missed it

[subtle cave]

is the onsen gone? i cant find it anymore

[red hawk]

#gameplay-help message

apparently there's some sort of UI bug

[cobalt rapids]

btw bot there is 31 eva for subs from tech and the porple augment you use anyway gives another 18
can you recalc

[slow fox]

31!??!!?

[subtle cave]

how do i get to the onsen from that page though? its just ninja castle

[slow fox]

[[ MISINFORMATION DELETED ]]

[whole crypt]

[slow fox]

ABsolutely crazy

[river junco]

are you equipping 404 with a radar/rudder?

[slow fox]

Wait I'm lying

[red hawk]

go to amahara icon on main menu-ur exchange-complete event arrow

[slow fox]

50%

[cobalt rapids]

this looks more normal now

[subtle cave]

it just takes me here i dont see the onsen

[cobalt rapids]

thanks again

[slow fox]

yes

[red hawk]

Can you see it going back from there

[whole crypt]

what's the other aux in question here

[subtle cave]

no it takes me back to ur exchange

[red hawk]

Hmm I'm sorry that's all I've seen about it

[whole crypt]

well you can't do rudder/rudder anyway

[subtle cave]

dang i hope they fix it soon then

[cobalt rapids]

the other aux is oxytorp

[red hawk]

Have you tried repairing your install or anything

[whole crypt]

it's a bug

[subtle cave]

so you cant access onsen at all?

[red hawk]

I didn't know if there was a way to force it to fix itself

[whole crypt]

onsen is out until fix

[red hawk]

oh its out for all of us, I just noticed

[subtle cave]

damn that sucks, well thanks for the help guys

[river junco]

devs prob made it icon disappear after you finish mission 7/7 cause I remember it being there earlier, forgetting about onsen

[red hawk]

is it still working for morale boost

[slow fox]

For those calcs, best eHP combo is Rudder and AA

Not Rudder Toolkit

[hollow birch]

im using these 3 subs, which one should i replace with i404

[red hawk]

in the background or is it completely gone

[whole crypt]

it works you just can't access and change the ships that are in

[red hawk]

ok that's fine then I have what I need there

[whole crypt]

I'm just amused it's still broken for EN because JP already got that bug a few hours ahead and hotfixed

[late flame]

maybe intern-kun decided to fix it at one go during maintenance

[red hawk]

cause america is gonna get a bigger greater fix it's gonna be yuge

[whole crypt]

well it's maint day tomorrow anyway so just sit it out

[red hawk]

like I said, as long as it's still operating in the background that's all that matter for me

tomorrow is the day we get the rest of the event stuff right

[boreal wagon]

~~you forgot that we basically dont exist ~~

[eager kernel]

Hello

I'm new to the game and want to know the order of the secret codes?

[late flame]

The answer is there is no secret code

[eager kernel]

Really?

[atomic abyss]

really

[eager kernel]

Okay, thanks. I've been following the cat's footprints but haven't found anything yet 😂

[whole crypt]

oh that

just keep tapping akashi in the gem shop

[safe nexus]

this is one of the recommened for Z23 torpedo gear, and i got a quintuple one instead that is the exact same name, is it doable?

[whole crypt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Akashi/Questline
it's just this and there's no reason to do it until you're actually after Akashi for collection

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Akashi/Questline

[strange sphinx]

ok if Kearsarge is not showing up because I choose her as the catch up and Her catch up is enough for D30... should I go straight Pr8

[wispy cosmos]

the quints arent worth using, youre better with non homing quint torps at that point

[river junco]

^, quint is worse than quad mag torps, lower hit rate and slow

[safe nexus]

oh thats why ty

[whole crypt]

Oumi is another Kii class?

[safe nexus]

is max lvl possible for all ship lvl 125?

[whole crypt]

currently yes, but for most ships you'll stop at 120

[late flame]

You are also gated by arrays, so that limits how many ships that you can take to lv125

[wispy cosmos]

anyone know what's currently bugged with the chao ho/ying swei augs

[eager kernel]

Thank you for the information.

[safe nexus]

what?

i just made unicorn awken at lvl 120

[strange sphinx]

[wispy cosmos]

the dark blue ones on the right are cog arrays, the left ones are cog chips

[whole crypt]

for awakening past 120 you need to use cog arrays on top of cog chips, and arrays are significantly more scarce

[safe nexus]

unicorn is worth it right?

[strange sphinx]

does it change when the you wanna 125 UR or just same on all rarity?

[novel solstice]

Unicorn is the best healer in game by a wide margin. You use her for all mob fights. Get her, love her, refit her, and use her for all content except bossfights.

[split gazelle]

UR is more expensive yes

[whole crypt]

damn did you just not really cog+ much

[safe nexus]

trying to max her rn, lacking gear left

[strange sphinx]

[novel solstice]

I want to send some ninjas to Astrata's castle to steal that pile of cog chips...

[wispy cosmos]

im pretty snail and i also overcap all of the ships im raising so that theyre 125 ready so my raising rate is quite bad compared to everyone else

[safe nexus]

what bssfights? the one in guild?

[whole crypt]

any boss fight shouldn't really need or want a healer

[safe nexus]

i only got 1 fleet rn anyways and without it i die 😭

[late flame]

-# there are some exceptions (challenge mode/certain META fights) but healers are usually not fielded for boss fights yeah

[novel solstice]

There are generally two types of fights. As you are going through a map, you'll usually have half a dozen "mob fights" followed by a "boss fight". Some special content like the guild bosses is just a boss fight.

For mob fights, your fleet is going to fight through several during the map, so a healer keeps everyone going.
For the final boss of any map where you could bring two fleets, you'll want a fleet that doesn't have a healer -- for the big fight, doing more damage is more important than getting healed. And this is also true of things like guild bosses, challenge mode, etc.

[late flame]

aka kill boss before boss wipes fleet

[safe nexus]

ah ok thx, so max out dmg and ignore sustain like a glass cannon at a boss fight

i have a new issue, i want to go to D3 but lack EVA again 😭

which DD do i target that is cheap

[strange sphinx]

@wind hazel I can't see Kearsarge in Research and When I saw her Catch up and it is enough for D30, will she not appear anymore?

[cobalt rapids]

if u dont have anything good to raise then u can dorm shiranui because shes common and also has good trp stats

[wind hazel]

if you have enough to dev30 then she won't appear from research anymore until everyone is also dev30

[safe nexus]

i got glowworm and laffey, do they have good trp stats?

ok guess i build shiranui

[strange sphinx]

so should I go PR8 now?

[cobalt rapids]

alot of ijns have more
but they are only statsticks
laffey i assume u have alr lvled so her gain is even less because levels get harder
and glowworm isnt a good statstick but shes ok post retro not that i advise doing it
for statchecks u can also load your ships with equipments that contribute to that stats
certain auxes give eva like rudder, blue wheel, camo, etc
and certain gear gives torp stats like surface torps and oxy torps auxes ( which u could use some gold ones if needed if u got them from t4 sakura boxes )

[safe nexus]

ok thx

[vapid valve]

Ok so I want to setup a full IJN eagle union iron blood setups what would be the best ships and the best weapon for said categories since I want to see what would be the best combos for max damage I will provide the ships I have by faction

[dark hazel]

faction fleets are bad

[late flame]

insert obligatory faction fleets is meme, because whatever faction benefits does not outweigh putting non-good ships in fleet

[wind hazel]

top tier IJN

jk lemme see what i can come up with

have fun, not particularly great in anything, but they are faction fleets alright

[forest palm]

top one will at least blow up heavy fairly well

[late flame]

-# top heavy

[forest palm]

take me back to the days of Taiho speed running

[patent raft]

Am i gotta unlock with gems and tickets? I kinda scared if i accidentally spend using gems and tickets

[wind hazel]

no, it's ticked on the tickets, so you will be using tickets

[patent raft]

Alright

[late flame]

Green Tick means whatever it's using

[turbid dawn]

Am I being stupid, how do you get to the Onsen? I swear it was through the mini-game event but I can't even find that anymore

[late flame]

It's.. bugged out

So no onsen until maintenance is over unless we follow jp in getting a hot fix

[dark hazel]

ninja castle > onsen still works for me

[wind hazel]

there's a bug and it's missing from menu. Amahara>UR exchange>complete event to be taken to ninja castle

[turbid dawn]

I was gonna say it was here, I completed the mini-event first day and now I needed to change out a ship who hit 120

But yeah Ill try that thanks

[forest palm]

it is probably automatically removed for stability reasons

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 oh yea i just realized i cant access the onsen from ninja castle...

[dark hazel]

if I close game is it going to disappear? I still have it

[grizzled wave]

which UR should i mlb? i know most people say i should do the more starred ones but i want to mlb the best ship rn. would that be hkho? for triple ijn backline?

[turbid dawn]

Yeah I can't find it

[wind hazel]

maybe lol

[split gazelle]

yes it will disappear

[late flame]

Mine went poof after patch notes went live

[turbid dawn]

Well rip the extra morale, I guess I'll be waiting longer for that 1 ship inbetween runs

[split gazelle]

oh wait I found it

this allows access to onsen

[wind hazel]

how many UR bulin you can buy?

[dark hazel]

do you actually have enough bulins to mlb anyone? you shouldnt start lb until you can go all the way

[wind hazel]

should be pinned

[grizzled wave]

6

[grizzled wave]

6

[wind hazel]

it's either trafalgar or fritz, but im not sure which would give stronger impact

[grizzled wave]

trafa for lion or fritz for bis2?

[wind hazel]

together, actually lol

[grizzled wave]

oh lol i didnt know that what would the 6 ships look like

[wind hazel]

it's more of a META focus upgrade

[undone zinc]

When Should i stop pulling for Hakuhou? I got 2 copies already

[dark hazel]

now

[late flame]

You should have stopped at one

[undone zinc]

😨

[grizzled wave]

like for meta ships?

[undone zinc]

But it took so few pulls.. (<100)

[dark hazel]

unless you're chasing the rest of the banner for collection, but you only need the 1 ur copy

[wind hazel]

META showdown

[undone zinc]

Okay!

[late flame]

your* cube balance will thank you

[split gazelle]

this button also works for onsen lol

[dark hazel]

fritz is probably going to be more useful for campaign pushing
assuming you have decent plane options

[undone zinc]

Understood bossu o7

[grizzled wave]

she good for 15? thats where im stuck

[dark hazel]

she is the best w15 support by far

[civic crag]

is ryusei kai good

anyone got like a cv tier list

[wind hazel]

go check /tierlist

[safe nexus]

im trying to get shiranui from 4-3 where i got it in the first palce but im not getting after clearing 6 times is it really that rare?

[wind hazel]

you can get her from B3/D3 event

[civic crag]

well looks like i’m putting all my rainbow planes on amagi

[safe nexus]

it cost more and somehow i didn't get too from the past few days of the daily 3x

[wind hazel]

wdym cost more

[safe nexus]

oil, im very broke on it rn

[wind hazel]

how does it cost more, just use whatever you're using in 4-3 on B3

[safe nexus]

ye i did unicorn and portland only

[wind hazel]

use your dd, cheaper than portland

[safe nexus]

94 in 4-3 and its 136 in D3

[safe nexus]

ok thx

[wind hazel]

ah, more mob fight

if you gonna do D3, full fleet it. low oil at B3

[safe nexus]

it should increase the chance for shiranui since more mob drops right?

[wind hazel]

technically i guess

[safe nexus]

im trying to get shiranui for D3 yes, currently lacking lvls heavily but thx to D1 grind im heavy on books just need limit breaks

[wind hazel]

funny enough d1 also drop shiranui

in fact she drops from everywhere

[safe nexus]

i got shiranui first try from B3 insane

[safe nexus]

i never got it once after palying it like 5000 times 😭

[wind hazel]

i was gonna suggest to just get naganami from guild shop lol

[safe nexus]

too late lready lvl 70 from books

lacking FP now by 36 what can i do? i slap a ton of FP gears to shranui kagerou and penny(my statsticks)

[wind hazel]

more fp gear

[undone plover]

Oh sry, i didnt mean to confuse idk if anyone explained but it was partially a joke
Maybe a bad one

If u reach 70k analysis points vs a showdown meta u cant fight them any more

And some ppl (like me) prefer to do the meta showdown later as well to compare how it was vs release
Usually the fights become much easier since your account improves a lot and due to natural powercreep
So sometimes it feels like u are bullying the old boss since it becomes too easy

[safe nexus]

nvm i found one good gear giving 45 , ok im done thx

[red hawk]

nah that makes sense, i didn't realize that if you complete them you can't even do the fight when archived

this is my first opsi reset im just getting the hang of it and riding my friends support

for high tier meta

[undone plover]

Yes we dont have practice mode sadly
U could technically still do it if u have a friend in the same server who hasnt finished theirs
They can invite u to help them

[split gazelle]

make another account

[red hawk]

I was able to clear kawakaze 15, but it took 3x runs

and then id ask for support and some dude would one shot it

[wind hazel]

battle once, then spam that request support save some oil

[red hawk]

im thinking i might actually go in on getting yuudachi meta built out

[elfin hollow]

I mean she's straight up better than her ur retrofit yeah

[undone plover]

Making another account on the same server is against ToS I think
But it is fine if it is on another server
Even having 1 amagi and 1 lil-e is fine for example

[vast ore]

Can someone help me take out yuudachi meta

[stark quiver]

faerfaer lock in

[wind hazel]

not in LE sorry

[undone plover]

It would be best if u can find a guild
Or maybe ask in your server’s chat room
Since most ppl here will not be in your server I assume

[vast ore]

Oof

[stark quiver]

im too old to be in lil e

[grizzled wave]

what subs are good with 404?

[undone plover]

If u are lil-E I can help but we can chat in #lil-enterprise-general better

[elfin hollow]

The solo subs, archerfish+flasher, etc

[red hawk]

for en but not JP, someone looked it up

[silk helm]

i regret starting in lil e

[stark quiver]

why

[wind hazel]

because i am not there

[stark quiver]

holy aura

[silk helm]

all my homies are 👴🏻

[grizzled wave]

is archer, 404, da vinci okay? or maggiore

[elfin hollow]

Sure if that's all your built subs

Maggiore fits better than archerfish

[grizzled wave]

i used to do wolf pack thats why

[stark quiver]

when did le get added @undone plover

[grizzled wave]

k ill try leveling up maggiore/da vinci/404 for subs

[undone plover]

I think just after implacable event if I am not wrong
Maybe march-2023?

[stark quiver]

i thought en anni 23'

[sharp comet]

it'd be so cool to have a single item in here that we can click to show all gifts

[silk helm]

holy flex

[stark quiver]

3 valentine no flex

what you should be saying is LE players had to tryhard farm hvars and get y2 on rerun

[wind hazel]

hackers go brrr auto farm

[stark quiver]

i didnt need to hack

[wind hazel]

2hrs sleep moment

[stark quiver]

idk if i even get 2h throughout the night

[undone plover]

~~Lil-E secret nagato fan club ~~

[light trail]

whats optimal gear for i-404? also is she strong enough that you can just put her in any sub comp or is there something specific that is best with her

[cobalt rapids]

and yes shes the strongest sub and every meta sub formation is built around her now

[safe nexus]

i just unlocked the boss from opsi for META, do i care about it?

[cobalt rapids]

you can host ur battles from the coords u get anyway daily from doing opsi and press support and hope someone kills it for you and get free rewards including a free ship

[safe nexus]

which meta dossier do i unlock

[cobalt rapids]

for now it doesnt rly matter, oil is better spent progressing to w12

[safe nexus]

ok thx

i dont see the spport button

from what i see there is 2 types? boss from boss list and from opsi?

[wind hazel]

it's next to start battle at the right

[cobalt rapids]

the support button is after u tap on the boss
the left is current active showdown and the right is dossier

[safe nexus]

it says no bosses available

i can fight yudachi boss at boss list

[wind hazel]

did you collect your meta coordinates

this thing, 100 per battle

[safe nexus]

mine it says 20/200 in the box and daily: 120/200

[wind hazel]

collect remaining 80, you already activated it once for today

[safe nexus]

did i one shot the boss?

[grand solar]

Remind me, os Unzen a good tanky CA?

[viscid swift]

you would not use her to tank no

[grand solar]

So put her on the outside.

[safe nexus]

it gave me the tutorial and let me fight a boss, then i killed it so did i win?

[cobalt rapids]

what boss did u fight

[safe nexus]

no idea boss XD probably san diego

[wind hazel]

[safe nexus]

it was as squishy as the mobs i fought so far in opsi so idk

i think its not her actually nvm

how to get 5* in area i already explored?

[civic crag]

i think you have to go through multiple resets

[cobalt rapids]

go to overview and check exploration progress
it will tell you each star obj
just know that getting all opsi stars is a very long process and some parts are subject to rng

[safe nexus]

😭 and whats the difference between going to secured and exploration?

[cobalt rapids]

explored zones u finish turn to secured zones

[safe nexus]

it allows me to switch between exploration and secured whats the difference for that?

[soft raft]

What lvl was it at lol
Cuz the lower lvl ones are comically easy to fight

[cobalt rapids]

secured zones reset each time u finish em
exploration zones only reset when the monthly reset happens
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Operation_Siren#Zones you can read more here

[safe nexus]

well its my first tutorial and i have a lvl 121 unicorn with a +10 brequet and its post retrofit maybe thats why

[safe nexus]

oh ok tyvm

[soft raft]

That's not really the reason
The tutorial one is prob just very squishy

And normally you wouldn't use Unicorn in META fights because her heals aren't really needed for boss fights

[safe nexus]

im not using her for the heals im using for the dmg, everyone else is weak rn 😭 and no replacement for her yet

[obtuse island]

you gonna suffer with enforcer/stronghold fights with passives that counter healing

[safe nexus]

peak

whats my goal in opsi now? still in chapter 1, do i explore all area asap or try get as much stars in the areas i cleared

[soft raft]

Just clear the story until you unlock monthly reset

[safe nexus]

to do that do i have to expore all areas?

[soft raft]

Some of the stars can take literal years to get due to the requirements

[soft raft]

Just follow where the missions want you to go

[cobalt rapids]

clear story, explore all areas and try to clear anything with a shiny icon above
most stuff u can just re-enter at will or its easy but abysalls are 1 entry only and they are quite hard for newbies especially c6 ones

story is the red exclamations marks

[safe nexus]

oh ok ty

[crisp geode]

Hakuhou or Trafalgar as next UR?

[hoary relic]

i'd say traf since u r using BB comb

[crisp geode]

If thats what Simon says, then ill do it

[hoary relic]

but i still advice u to hoard abit

[crisp geode]

Okay

[hoary relic]

no need to rush atm

[crisp geode]

[stark quiver]

Ask again when you have 4 ur bulins

[crisp geode]

I have 12k thingies to buy them from shop

[stark quiver]

I’d do hakuhou and then Traf after, granted December ur doesn’t come early

[forest palm]

we do have Unzen rerun floatin around

[weary edge]

is the onsen gone

[stark quiver]

No

[weary edge]

it's not on my screen anymore

[tardy trench]

which ship should i get in core (mo.) shop ?

[weary edge]

independence

[viscid swift]

I'd focus on equipment over any of the ships

[stark quiver]

go to minigame tab

[stark quiver]

click on amahara
onsen should be next to minigame start button

[split gazelle]

@weary edge

[weary edge]

ty

[split gazelle]

its bugged atm

[icy creek]

Hi, i am at W10 and finished chapter 5 OPSI, should i start building a second fleet ?

Anyone for recommandation ?

Just started 2 weeks dont have a lot in my dock :/

[ivory pawn]

Make a thread, and share your purple/blues too. Also swap Portland and Laffey.

[quaint tapir]

enterprise and san diego (post-retrofit) are both pretty solid option
kazagumo is good but requires more specific team building

[icy creek]

Second fleet recommandation

[oak schooner]

how do i unlock SP Stages for the event?

[little tree]

Complete d3 it's the hard mode for b3

[storm olive]

What should hakuryuu flex slots be for mobbing (while AA is not a consideration)

[stark quiver]

torpedo bombers

[sweet delta]

Spearfish tenrai

[storm olive]

Neat thanks

[ornate narwhal]

Is Asama good?

[rigid onyx]

what's the max affinity secretary slot one can get up to again

[fluid plume]

I have a good amount of Dr ship's but I got my set fairly good, but since I haven't played in a while I cant really figure out if any ship's are worth working up, whos top currently for ships

[stark quiver]

90

[rigid onyx]

are there any raid events coming up or is that 🔮 🔮 🔮

[ornate narwhal]

Is asama worth using since I’m using beginner squad rn

[fluid plume]

She didn't seem to bad to me tbh

[stark quiver]

Not really

[ornate narwhal]

Just bc of limited gold bulin or just not good?

[fluid plume]

See, thats why I even asked my shit lmao

[rigid onyx]

It really depends on your other vanguard options and gold bulins if asama is worth raising specifically for a beginner fleet.

[atomic abyss]

No way to know

Raid events don't really rerun perse

[ornate narwhal]

I currently have 2 spare, with no other gold ships, vanguard is Portland, z23, Helena. Can clear story to get more bullin

[rigid onyx]

just keep with that until those are leveled you need to raise them all anyways

[atomic abyss]

Save the gold bulins for something else

Like say if you have her, Oumi

[ornate narwhal]

I didn’t pull her, got the UR and was told to stop pulling bc limited beginner cubes

[atomic abyss]

Which makes sense

So just save then

[rigid onyx]

do your daily one pull in the event still imo; stopping pulling is correct because of ur schedule having 2 more events in next 3 months

[ornate narwhal]

Yea I’ve been doing 3 daily on light, should I just be doing 1?

[rigid onyx]

only do the one pull in light or event

[stark quiver]

not good

[ornate narwhal]

Got it, wanted currency tho. Guess I’ll just grind more

[atomic abyss]

You shouldn't be doing 3

[ornate narwhal]

When is Essex’s mat coming back?

[rigid onyx]

about a year

[ornate narwhal]

Dam shouldn’t have missed it

[rigid onyx]

sucks to miss a bit but the blueprints are hard to get for a few months anyways

[atomic abyss]

Did you miss Eldridge too?

[rigid onyx]

Eldridge is still going on

[ornate narwhal]

Isn’t she up now?

[atomic abyss]

Yes so make sure to get it

Much more important than Essex

[stark quiver]

essex retro isnt even BIS for anything important lmfao

[ornate narwhal]

Yea I just need to do pulls

[ornate narwhal]

Why? I thought Essex was good?

[atomic abyss]

He doesn't even have anything beyond a beginner fleet

[rigid onyx]

essex is great

[ornate narwhal]

I’m using Essex rn

[atomic abyss]

She is when retro
But she has many side grades
Eldridge doesn't

[ornate narwhal]

Ok

[atomic abyss]

Eldridge retro is basically unparalleled

[ornate narwhal]

Out of CA and DD medal shop who should I get?

[rigid onyx]

asama is great too he's just looking from the lens of someone who has most options (i.e. ibuki). you could easily raise her when you're making a your first boss fleet when you're ready

[atomic abyss]

Kazagumo for DD

Ignore CA

[ornate narwhal]

Should I use her instead of z23?

[rigid onyx]

no just stick to that vanguard for a minute

hopefully you get oami during your Singleton pulls or owari in unzen event and you'll have a great starter fleet

[atomic abyss]

Absolutely not
Stick to beginner fleet
Kazagumo will likely be for fleet 2

I feel like we've had this discussion many times at this point

[ornate narwhal]

Yea prob I lost quite a few accounts…

[autumn yarrow]

does anyone know when guam or laffey 2 will be rerun?

[vale spindle]

does the event shop end on 10/2 with event or one week later?

[stark quiver]

have remembered anything we told you in the past
and also linked your account to an email

[red hawk]

they usually tend to run for a week after for currency use no?

felt like atelier shop was around for awhile at least

[stark quiver]

sam is asking if they are this time

[vale spindle]

not all of them because this isa 3 week event

There were a few 3 week events where shop ended same time as event

[red hawk]

right and I was asking if that's how it usualy went, based on my limited experience

[vale spindle]

(new Jersey first run)

[stark quiver]

was lion the same i lowkey forgot

[vale spindle]

usually is 2 weeks event 3 weeks shop but this is a 3 week event so that's why I'm asking if shop changed

[red hawk]

would be nice to know if it's gonna be something you wanna dump before the event ends or if you have a couple days before it closes after, maybe with maint we'll get updates?

[vale spindle]

no it's already announced somewhere in earlier patch notes

[red hawk]

it always sucks to lose track of stuff to the end of the event and waste currency

[vale spindle]

i just don't want to dig through them hence why I'm here 🙏🏽

[red hawk]

Note: Asama will be available in the Event Shop and Taekaze as a Point Accumulation Reward until October 9th, 11:59 P.M. (UTC-7)

based on that im assuming it's staying open

thats copy paste from the wiki patch notes

[vale spindle]

awesome its a week after

[red hawk]

since event ends 02

[stark quiver]

[vale spindle]

thanks

[stark quiver]

[red hawk]

bruh, a small thing I can do for all the work you've put to guides

you and everyone here who helps us hopeless noobies not waste everything like goblins

[rigid onyx]

early 2026 by precedent probably, but schedule is predictions and patterns not set in stone

[red hawk]

do they ever throw UR reruns on top of other events

like they did with atelier collab and it's rerun

[stark quiver]

no, that was a special case

[red hawk]

good that was a lot as a new player to get everything

I can't imagine doing it with two UR events

[west plaza]

just curious who r the best URs?

[turbid marsh]

where is that photo...

[slow fox]

So much slander on my eHP queens

[turbid marsh]

its okay, eld and z52 on there

[slow fox]

-# not queens smh

[turbid marsh]

my stan z52 slay

[inland shoal]

Free crossfleet is useless

[west plaza]

r none of the perma Urs good?

[inland shoal]

I mean UR is still UR

But they're pretty old at this point

(Also that tier list isn't an ultimate bible)

Anyway I'd get Shinano, she's the most useful of them imo

[hot turret]

did alsace move up? I remember the same picture with alsace one tier lower

[west plaza]

I just pulled that hakuhou person, whats that one thing shes rlly gud at?

[inland shoal]

Torpedo Bombers

She's especially strong against heavy armour

[west plaza]

K ty

[turbid marsh]

they still very good compared to majority of golds and purples... thats more of a personal list for UR only lol

[west plaza]

kk ill keep that in mind

[inland shoal]

Yeah but ofc UR bulins are a big investment

[stark quiver]

not that i know of

[waxen valley]

is unzen rerun nxt

[uneven knot]

anyone finish the event shop yet?

[inland shoal]

At least that's the first mentioned future update in the JP anni stream

[soft raft]

It's technically the 2nd event in line to rerun, but the devs have and will change the order

[dry meteor]

I’m trippin

Turns out I didn’t have oil crisis or coin crisis

Didnt know ts exist until 3 sec ago 💔

Wasted my event currency buying oil and coin 🥀

[stark quiver]

event oil is good for the price

you almost always buy it

[uneven knot]

accidentally bought some series 6 blueprints any of that gear worth crafting?

[sweet delta]

Triple 380mm

[bright tusk]

Is yellow shell better than white for lion in yuudachi showdown?

[sweet delta]

If you are well below hit cap

If Aurora or Traf+chap then use black shell

/calc you can plug in your tech and boss and enable damage to see

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Calculator for precise fleet reload times by mrlar

[low dove]

has there been any changes to this mob fleet? Fdg + Unicorn (retrofit) + Independence
