[dark terrace]

(shinano/bismarck zwei/enter/roon/Prinz Eugen/shima) would this fleet be more or less.

[wind hazel]

sir, you gotta be more specific. for what? campaign chapter 5? for pvp? for opsi?

if ch12 and under, sure go ahead

anything more than that i wouldnt use that vanguard

[dark terrace]

Which vanguard would you use?

[wind hazel]

depends
on
content

like ch13 requires different approach than w14, and same thing for w15

[dark terrace]

for campaign

[wind hazel]

BRUV

[turbid marsh]

i think z52 is the only one that fits your description, and sandy/shimanto kinda

[whole crypt]

campaign what chapter

[dark terrace]

then it would be(ROON/EUGEN/Z52)?

[wind hazel]

can you just tell for WHAT CONTENT YOU WANT TO USE THEM ON

[dark terrace]

campain

[turbid marsh]

he gonna say campaign again

[wind hazel]

OK WHICH CHAPTER OF CAMPAIGN

[rain bobcat]

[dark terrace]

12 for up

[wind hazel]

CHAPTER 5? CHAPTER 12? CHAPTER 15?

Chapter 13 i would remove half of them

[rain bobcat]

LMAO

[wind hazel]

chapter 14 i would remove all of them

ok maybe Shimakaze fits chapter 14, ironically

[turbid marsh]

well for fleet suggestion, why don't you show them what you have in dock? they probably dont know what you even have at this point.

[dark terrace]

ok

[turbid marsh]

but if its an general frontline that can work both 14 and 15, probably gonna be z52 sandy eldkai, but i can't make that assumption that you have all ships.

[sharp comet]

i'm maxed out on 600k. every single gear i need is +10/13 and i'm close to running out of the 375 gear capacity, so crafting even more is not possible (yes, i put everything onto my ships, so no i cannot minmax it). i'm out of cog ships pretty much every time so i cannot spend coins on awakening. i'm out of augment module cores, so i cannot buy gold augments. i have every retrofit. i have every pr ship maxed, so no coining. i buy 3d dorm gifts every week. i have every minigame skin box in shop so buying minigame coins are pointless.
are cats the only thing i can spend coins on?

[rigid onyx]

gear skin boxes

[dark terrace]

I don't have any

[sharp comet]

i have every minigame skin box in shop so buying minigame coins are pointless.

@wind hazel help me

[rain bobcat]

gear all ships for satisfaction/fleet tech

[oblique valley]

what do these do?

[rain bobcat]

ur 600k is gonna be gone in less than 100 ships

[sharp comet]

i'm close to running out of the 375 gear capacity, so crafting even more is not possible (yes, i put everything onto my ships, so no i cannot minmax it).

[rigid onyx]

yes, i put everything onto my ships, so no i cannot minmax it

[rain bobcat]

speaking from experience

[sharp comet]

do u read

[rain bobcat]

everyone in the dock???

[sharp comet]

...

[rigid onyx]

i believe it's just cats

[turbid marsh]

well he is a grinder thats for sure, probably high up in fleet power

[rigid onyx]

if you want you can start making different lb copies of ships if you want to be a fleet power gamer

[dark terrace]

ready I was taking photos of what I have!

@wind hazel@turbid marsh

[wind hazel]

gimme

[wind hazel]

give 5 affinity to ships

[turbid marsh]

i assume you didn't spend ANY bulins for shinano and nj

[dark terrace]

.....

use bismarck zwei

[sick kettle]

are fate sim important?

[late flame]

depends on what ship

[oblique valley]

that's it wtf does it give any cosmetic effects

[turbid marsh]

oh, so you used duplicate only for shinano and nj. thats good news. focus on mlb bismark, spend your time in 12-1/12-4 to farm level, eventually working towards sandy kai.

[dark terrace]

Now that I saw it, I have UR ​​exchange, which one do I get?

[tulip ibex]

Question: in new managing island gameplay
How can i open my restaurant again while it on break?

[turbid marsh]

if you can't beat w12, 11 or 10 or 9 should be enough. go for any really, can mlb shinano/nj as well, they strong enough for contents pre-w15

[sick kettle]

does anyone have a list on what pr/dr that depends on fate sim to be good?

[dark terrace]

@turbid marshok

up NJ

[wind hazel]

no lol just affinity

[wind hazel]

notable ones avp, shimanto

[white ice]

someone please help me, cant clear ch 6-1

[whole crypt]

flasher's hunt range is kind of shit

[whole crypt]

I feel like there's going to be a gear issue and Hakuhou is doing very little without LB

[soft raft]

for one thing, Pennsylvania is currently hard whiffing half of her barrage every time she fires it

[whole crypt]

that's likely not even close to the biggest problems he has

[white ice]

i put best gear i currently have

backline always dies first

[whole crypt]

my guess is you're using bad gear that you think is good

[austere flower]

Hi, I am new in the game and my lvl 20. I started the game bc the Amahra event but it doesn't show to me the full event why?

[soft raft]

becuase it literally just ended

[austere flower]

What? So there is no way to get them?

[whole crypt]

rerun in about 2 years

[soft raft]

you will have to wait roughly 2 years for rerun

[austere flower]

Omg why 2 years?!!

[soft raft]

idk go ask the devs

[whole crypt]

because that's the current running schedule

[white ice]

thats my gear, is it bad?

[austere flower]

2 years is too long man I can't wait . I was really want them so bad:(

[soft raft]

it's a faster wait than you'd think

[whole crypt]

very

[violet grail]

Isnt your main issue just limit breaking all your ships?

[whole crypt]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/#gear
https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/

[whole crypt]

given his current level and stage not really

[white ice]

im like 20 levels ahead

[whole crypt]

besides Hakuhou

[oblique valley]

maybe you could show your dock to see if there are other ships to use

[whole crypt]

the ships are fine his gear is just b0rk

[white ice]

my ships not good?

[whole crypt]

the ships are ok besides Hakuhou being 0LB

[soft raft]

that's already the starter fleet template outside of the currently useless hakuhou

[oblique valley]

they're fine at this stage just it's good to have a look at the dock as well

[white ice]

i dont have any other gears tho, where do i get them

[sick kettle]

does afct will be added in coreshop or will it remain event locked?

[soft raft]

we dunno 100% yet
prob the limited Core shop

[austere flower]

Do I need to get the Girlship then the skin to get the L2d for her?

[soft raft]

No
you can buy the skin without owning the ship

but you just cant use the skin until you do have the ship

[austere flower]

good

[late flame]

i also wouldnt buy skin unless whale

[wind hazel]

i would

[wind spindle]

Did I miss something in the new island thing? I can't figure out how to make combo' plates even though i have plenty of the items crafted. and i am starved for dev coins so i can't even buy seeds

[civic crag]

after 8 months I maxed her out, how is this gear setup?

[vivid nebula]

They are broken iirc

[vivid nebula]

I did :DD

[wind spindle]

lovely...

[wind hazel]

uhhhh not too good, where do you want to use her at?

[civic crag]

opsi

[vivid nebula]

The island is very broken atm

[austere flower]

Wait what about the L2d? It's the same thing right?

[wind hazel]

mob? or boss

[civic crag]

boss I got sandy for mob

[tulip ibex]

Question: in new managing island gameplay
How can i open my restaurant again while it on break?

[wind hazel]

change 2nd gun to drake gun if you have, use quad mag torpedo

and maybe fumo instead of toolkit

[vivid nebula]

Yeah those torps are quite bad for auto

[civic crag]

what's drake gun

[civic crag]

oh yeah that's a place holder I'll change it

[vivid nebula]

Its this

[wind spindle]

i can see that. it appears they didn't really balance the rewards for stuff. oh hey, heres 30 bucks for an item that the seed is 1600

[wind hazel]

this is vs Light. otherwise double hind gun for med/heavy

or hind+drake if you only have 1

[vivid nebula]

Also, do not send workers to manage your farm

You get 1 harvest in return per seed for some reason

yeah I got scammed out of 15 grass seeds

got 15 pieces of grass in return

[wind spindle]

FFS

[wind hazel]

hello sir, dont use big gif on this channel

[wind spindle]

sorry bout that

[vivid nebula]

This worth making?

[wind hazel]

thank you sir, good day sir

[wind hazel]

eh, i wouldnt

[civic crag]

aight thanks

[vivid nebula]

I have like 5 champ guns and 1 flandre

[civic crag]

since I've finished hindy what ship should I dev next

[vivid nebula]

Probably Meck from pr8

[wind hazel]

anyone that you have BPs for dev30+/can be coined

[wind spindle]

yeah, i hadn't even clocked that. i had been using manjuu to do the first field. So i've lost hundreds of crops to that.

[vivid nebula]

I was scammed harddddddddddddddd

any begginer roadmap or guide i can follow

https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1422463299877867540 exists

[soft raft]

A L2D skin is still a skin so yes

[vivid nebula]

How many HSFCRs do you generally need?

[whole crypt]

3 at most

[zenith heron]

2-3 is the usual, as much as you need is on you

[vivid nebula]

oh...

[split gazelle]

I use 4 cause I'm lazy

[vivid nebula]

I may have over crafted

how about steam catas?

[wind hazel]

yes

[whole crypt]

I have more but I too am just being lazy

[wind hazel]

by w15 at least 14

[zenith heron]

its usually the best AVI auxi you have in general

[vivid nebula]

I think I have way more than 14...

[wind hazel]

oh yeah?

[zenith heron]

seems normal

[wind hazel]

how many wyvern do you have?

[viscid swift]

I mean

[vivid nebula]

My biggest regret was the oxy torps

[viscid swift]

you can have as many or as few as you deem necessary

[wind hazel]

gold helldiver and skypirate chad

[silk helm]

whatas wrong with oxy torps

[vivid nebula]

I have too many for my use case and they are so expensive to max out

[wind hazel]

scrap them 👍🏼

[whole crypt]

but shiny

[vivid nebula]

Does equipped gear count towards the depot cap?

[whole crypt]

nope

[wooden osprey]

what's the current meta
do i really have to play opsi to clear w15

[dapper token]

Which pr ship should i focus on first

[wooden osprey]

bocchi( kearsarge )

[viscid swift]

strictly no but it would make things a heck of a lot easier, especially if you're lacking on ships, tech, oaths, etc

anyone got a yuudachi meta one shot comp?

[viscid swift]

[robust onyx]

Elite Meta are collection only

Most SR Meta are also collection only

[spark patio]

what should i buy now?

[rocky pewter]

rocks

[wind hazel]

if asama not mlb, i'd buy 1 asama+2 gold cats

[spark patio]

i have enough asama to mlb

[wind hazel]

then cats+whatever you want

[rocky pewter]

rocks for aug

[spark patio]

btw, can i have aug guide? the prioritize one

[wind hazel]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules

Which meta is worth to get from shop

[robust onyx]

None

[wind hazel]

the one with good tech

[rocky pewter]

all of them for tech

[wind hazel]

some of them have shit tech and are not worth getting more than the other

[rocky pewter]

what metas you dont have?

[dapper token]

all from the shop

[rocky pewter]

so new player get any with barrage or tank skills

[wind hazel]

dont get sheffield, hunter, trento, memphis

fusou hiyou junyou and yamashiro have good rld tech, good if you're leveling for tech

[dapper token]

ahhh i see

But none is usefull for actual sorties?

[wind hazel]

yes, none are good

[rocky pewter]

nevada is good

No not really

[violet grail]

woohoo got my first +13 gear ! (champy gun)

[cobalt robin]

do i get 3rd saiun or 1st bf?

[stark quiver]

First bf is more useful

[cobalt robin]

its best dmg against medium after la9 right?

[stark quiver]

Fighter yes

[desert tapir]

I have a Discord Culture question. Is there a point where I Stop posting dock list when asking for formation help.

Things have gotten a.. a wee bit out of hand.

👉 👈

[weary gust]

Even if you have the ships that doesn't mean they're leveled/mlb.

[wind hazel]

unless you're me

jk i dont have them all leveled mlb

but sure you can just say "assume i have everything"

[desert tapir]

Thats very true.... For now. I'm running out of ships to spend Bullion on.... and If this keeps up I can see a point where levels not much a stop gap either.

[stark quiver]

i still ask for help so its prob fine

[sweet delta]

Same

[violet grail]

I just realized I had upgraded and been using the wrong 152mm main gun this whole time. Why do they have the exact same name

[safe nexus]

azur lane announcement date a live collab, then danmachi. so why is danmachi coming out first? and any idea when date a live is coming out then

[robust onyx]

Next update

[viscid swift]

probably in November

[robust onyx]

Date A Live maybe November

[safe nexus]

then am i even able to save cubes for date a live if i do this collab?

[soft raft]

Danmachi is also likely a smaller scale Collab like what they did for Black Rock Shooter

Only 2 ship reveals before they went to skin news

[sweet delta]

Both are similar and mid, just use the higher enhanced one

[violet grail]

I dont think I have a better option for now though. Dont have the mats to craft UR gear yet.

[safe nexus]

im new so no idea small means how less cost it is

[robust onyx]

Free to get

[violet grail]

Ill try to replace it with twin 137mm mk 1 when I can

[safe nexus]

so peak?

[robust onyx]

As in complete task to earn them

[safe nexus]

ye i expected that from free, ok thx i dont need to worry much then

[violet grail]

In general is my Oumi geared up correctly or something still needs changing? (Currently Ch 12-1, and using her in opsi and exercises and pretty much everywhere).

[sweet delta]

You don't have any extra gold CL guns?

[atomic abyss]

Right one is a CA gun

[violet grail]

Thats my only yellow cl. Worth moving it to oumi?

[wind hazel]

you dont have any gold CL gun

just open more ijn gold techbox

[violet grail]

Oh I sorted by CL didnt realize ca guns show up there also

Opened the few yellow boxes I had. No cl gun but I got a second roomba poggies

[eternal moth]

Only Hestia and Ryu for the DanMachi collab. Well that's disappointing.

[atomic abyss]

Minor collab like BRS it seems

Well it's fine

It's probably supposed to promote the fact danmachi author is dropping 3 new danmachi books on the 15th

[eternal moth]

Yeah, it's just that with such a big name I was expecting more. It seems like a waste

[atomic abyss]

Well date a live is a huge name too

[wind girder]

Anyone knows how to make combo meals on the island ?

[eternal moth]

Fair

[safe nexus]

Who?

[atomic abyss]

(I do think it's a waste too btw)

Shinano always

[atomic abyss]

#1422463299877867540 should help

[eternal moth]

Shouldn't you have more options than that?

[atomic abyss]

I'm assuming

That's the newbie missions ticket

[eternal moth]

Oh wait, that's the beginner missions, yeah.

[atomic abyss]

Not the UR spark

[safe nexus]

ye beginner

[sweet delta]

pick shinano later

[safe nexus]

😭 ok th

[eternal moth]

I don't really like that advice. Having a UR that early in the game is such a big boost to your ability to kill things that a little bit of sub-optimal play is fine.

And considering the increasing prevalance of UR bulins, what with the increasing amount of monthly material, UR bulins are easier than ever to get.

[viscid swift]

yeah and they've also increased the number of URs we get in a year

the numbers still put things at a deficit

[zenith heron]

curious, but does anyone know what total number of dock space can you get for free based on the number of Apologems, Social Achievements and Anniversary in EN?

[median prism]

What shld i spend medals on

[sweet delta]

Depends on the SR hull types in your shop and what ships you have in dock

[violet grail]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/shop_priority/

Mostly just on prototype bulins it seems.

[median prism]

Ty

[sweet delta]

How outdated is. That? No San Diego

And still on season 6 bps

[soft raft]

That varies a good bit based off of when they start playing cuz obviously they wouldn't have access to prior rewards

Ig if you want one example, I started during Microlayer rerun and I have like 680 dock space, 3rd academy slot like a idiot, 3rd dorm slot + 2nd floor dorm, and iirc buying the 11 cube thing once

[ebon verge]

is the rainbow fire control table good on soyuz with nak?

[zenith heron]

thanks for the heads up, but was expecting this answer anyway, because I forgot that free gems also exist by contests by a chosen number of players that can also add to that number...

||Also unsure since I am quite sure that 1st Anniversary did not give 100 gems based on my unc mind||

[stark quiver]

You didn’t spend half your f2p gems on ship repairs?

[ebon verge]

is essex better than implacable for support fleet?

[robust onyx]

Some one did that?

[stark quiver]

Yes and I know who

[robust onyx]

I'd made the mistake of buying cubes once but never that

[weary gust]

A f2p who has been playing since at least 2nd anni could potentially have over 1000 dock space. I have 850 atm, could buy a bit more, and I've bought a ring pack once, a dorm item, and 2nd floor/third slot in dorm.

[soft raft]

It's a direct upgrade over the HSFCR so you'd use it in the same scenarios as that

Namely syncing with SG Radar Helena

[robust onyx]

Yeah I've bought a lot of stuff not just dock space but could have been around 1000 dock space if I didn't

[dark hazel]

1k dorm slots

[stark quiver]

I have 1k dock and 12 dorm as f2p fr ong

[sweet delta]

syncing with SG Helena as a reason for using AFCT/HSFCR is so 2021 gameplay

[ebon verge]

I mean is AFCT that good to justify using it even when it breaks syncing (with nak in this case)

[soft raft]

That's context dependent

[sweet delta]

in terms of syncing with nakh, HSFCR is worse. If the battle is short, then using AFCT while keeping a reasonable timing would be better for Soyuz's damage. However, taking HSFCR's worse stats is probably not a good idea unless it's a 4 strike showdown or something

depending on the TBs that nakhi is using, you want Soyuz to be in the range of 2 seconds before nakhi to 2 seconds after nakhi, for every salvo

[ebon verge]

Well im trying to learn this syncing thing for w15, this my boss fleet

[zenith heron]

sorry for the brought up of the topic since I have 380 total for my current Dock count, was wondering what should be the exact amount of free Dock space to get if we knew the gems we had ever since 1st Anniversary till 6th at least at that point

[sweet delta]

but for campaign you shouldn't sync

you need to kill the waves before the boss in a reasonable time

also not much point in syncing if it's all splash/parallel damage. It's only 40% crit damage for nakhi. Desync is better

wrong gun on Sandy btw, she wants damage-dealing guns

Soyuz should use AP because the relevant chapter 15 bosses are M/H

[ebon verge]

So pr8 gun or the pr2 gun for AP?

[sweet delta]

the rainbow pr 8 or the rainbow pr 2 are both ok

[ebon verge]

Wait nvm i dont have that pr8 one yet

[whole crypt]

just for the sake of leveling should I swap 404 to flag

[soft raft]

Is there a flag bonus for subs? Been a while since I finished Wolfpack so haven't really checked lol

[whole crypt]

no, but Flasher's hunt range is dogshit

[soft raft]

Lol

[cobalt gate]

which gun the best for ca?

[whole crypt]

which CA for what purpose

[cobalt gate]

15-1 lvling

[proven current]

What´s the best way for avoid or counter attack Air strikes? radar or sonars? (im refering to the stategy mode, not battle mode)

[silk helm]

15-1 lvling

[whole crypt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Combat#Encounters

not sure why you'd want to do that but probably hindenburg gun

[ebon verge]

Wait doesn't drake gun have higher modifier against heavy armor?

[bold surge]

Yes

[bold peak]

Is meta ship worth the grind nowdays?

Like for example is Helena Meta better than Helena (should I use her to replace the normal helena in a fleet?)

[soft raft]

Realistically no ot really outside of tech
Helena META doesn't even do the same gimmick as normal Helena in the first place

[dark hazel]

most of them are collection only but why not play the game

[bold peak]

Is there any pointer or tier which meta ship dossier worth the grind ?

[sweet delta]

in practice due to soft stats, Drake gun is only 0 to 5% better than Hinden gun against heavy

[soft raft]

Anyone with good tech
So namely FP, AVI, and backliner RLD

[sweet delta]

Jintsuu is meta in PvP and EX/torp meme, otherwise there are some high tier gold ships but they're worse than rainbows

[bold peak]

Wdym by good tech, is it synergy?

[soft raft]

Fleet tech bonuses

Namely the lvl 120 one

[bold peak]

Okay got it, so I assume good to be used with shima?

[deft kettle]

boys, who shall i focus on researching: Monarch or Roon?

[bold peak]

Ah..

[sweet delta]

I don't know who you have, everything depends on what you have. Because shimakaze and most gold METAs aren't the best but could be used depending on their investment level for new players

[bold peak]

Roon kinda quirky but good tank if you don't have any Vanguard

[deft kettle]

i got lion and bis zwei maxed

also how do you get this famous drone

[bold peak]

Hmm I see, so how do you even utilise Jintsuu, like what the fleet would look like? 2 cl and 1 dd?

[sweet delta]

I recommend not looking at in-game loadout recommendations, but the Flapjack is from gear lab and is actually good

[bold peak]

Tech tree

Pretty easy to get if you do ops siren monthly

[deft kettle]

i need flapjackk

[sweet delta]

#pvp pin probably

[deft kettle]

is it royal tech?

what faction is it from

[vast citrus]

should i 3 star every stage befre 9-4 or just fast track and 1 star it all

[sweet delta]

/wiki Flapjack

[odd root]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Vought_XF5U_Flying_Flapjack_(Prototype)

[soft raft]

American
Developed directly from the tigercat

[deft kettle]

gud

[queen frigate]

Should I put san diego in my mob fleet?
Not retrofitted

[ebon verge]

Sure if you dont need the 3star rewards

[deft kettle]

i dont think its recommended

just retro her first if u want her full anti air power

[soft raft]

Wherever you need either more DPS or more AA coverage

Which would prob end up being mob early on since it does most of the fighting, but I run her on boss perfectly fine

Particularly was nice for W14 boss where you need vanguard DPS to get to the boss asap before your backline gets melted too much

[deft kettle]

Arent the resources for flapjack hard to get? I dont have any pieces of any resource except for the corsair airplane

[forest palm]

literally spam T3/T4 USS Boxes and you'll get a few Corsair

[rapid grail]

yes you just need to play opsi for a month or so

do the 3 types of zones, the bosses

you have 4 fleets to play around with and beat them

[deft kettle]

island

[vestal raven]

what DD gun should i craft for Trafalgar? i think i can make the single 113m dual purpose MK.4 gun

[sweet delta]

blue single 76mm works

you can delete it after downloading.
If, a few months ago, you unchecked the download box for island, then you wouldn't have needed to download it today

so it was yes for both parts

[sweet delta]

single 113 is about the same as single 76 until it becomes much better at high RLD stat https://suchiguma.github.io/deepresearch/single-113mm-vs-76mm/

[vestal raven]

thank you for sharing this!

[rain mesa]

where do yall go to find equipment builds for the new UR ships

[viscid swift]

just know what gear is good and in what context

builds depend more on content than the ship itself

[azure coyote]

Is island planner beneficial at all?

[onyx flame]

you can get some gems and some stuff to increase affinity for your ships but dats bout it so far

[azure coyote]

Welp

The mode does not run on my device

[violet grail]

Gems? Gems is gud

[onyx flame]

its not a lot of gems

[forest palm]

my old ass S9 runs the Island mode

[azure coyote]

I turned my graphics to the lowest settings and it's still choppy as hell

[forest palm]

really though I'm pretty sure this mode is turning most all devices into a space heater

[onyx flame]

fire update literally 🔥

[stark quiver]

Portable stove

[azure coyote]

So fire my phone is now considered a bomb threat

[limpid moon]

Worth farming opsi even when if hit the cap for the meta battles?

[onyx flame]

but yea for the gems this is the only one i seen

[weary gust]

Use all your natural AP regen, loggers, AP boxes, do the arbiter fights, and strongholds.

[azure coyote]

I'm not blowing up my device for 20 gems

[violet grail]

In opsi, should I avoid/ exit early from abyss zones if I'm having to use regroup orders to fully beat it? (On top of fighting the two ships in bottom corners).

Been struggling on corruption lv 6 abyss with the enemy healing when it went below some hp % 2 fights in a row because of unlucky breakpoint.

[sweet delta]

using regroup once is worth

[violet grail]

This ones gonna be twice, but im 20 minutes away from the 8 hour regroup refresh now. Its also my last objective left on the map rn. Gotta buy up some loggers after.

[hazy olive]

What gun for Asama

Limited options.

I’ve decided I’m gonna replace Laffey with Asama for a short while just to see how it goes

[sweet delta]

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

[hazy olive]

Also is this okay for Laffey

[sweet delta]

oxytorp and hedgehog are not ok though

[hazy olive]

oh. Should I stick Hedgehog on Helena and Oxytorp on Asama?

[sweet delta]

oxytorp and hedgehog are usually not ok for any vanguard ship

[wanton dawn]

Is there any case u wld want to use the 57mm over the 76mm raibow aa gun

[sweet delta]

some kind of super minmax AA that's really not needed. Or for Brest in chapter 15.

craft and +13 the twin 76s, not twin 57

[hazy olive]

So…oxytorp for U-101 or I-404 and Hedgehog for…uhhhhhhhhh……

[wanton dawn]

ok ty:)

[sweet delta]

Hedgehog is for ASW, and there are no enemy submarines in chapter 1 to 13. There are subs in events and war archives

[hazy olive]

Is Autoloader okay for Oumi or should I put it somewhere else

[sweet delta]

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

[tulip ibex]

How can I open my restaurant again?

[hazy olive]

Just to check Asama is better than Laffey damage wise, right

[eternal basalt]

Once a day,
#1422463299877867540

[sweet delta]

hard to judge relative damage when they're both so low level and poorly geared

[tulip ibex]

Thanks

[hushed sorrel]

How much time does the new gamemode take? if you want to archieve all daily task (if there are any? didnt play it that far yet)

[hazy olive]

I’m almost level 60! Then I can gear workshop. We gear then we workshop. We gear workshop.

(Hopefully when I have an Unzen too…)

[eternal basalt]

#1422463299877867540

[eternal fiber]

Looking for someone I can dm to help me build a fleet for chapter 13. I feel like I can do it with the units I have now, I just need help with what ships to use

[viscid swift]

just post your dock in a thread here

[eternal fiber]

alright

[rapid summit]

Any of these guns can work for bzwei or enterprise?

[eternal fiber]

Chapter 13 help.

[weary gust]

Enterprise is a CV and doesn't use guns, unless you mean the purple British Enterprise light cruiser who is a bad ship and you shouldn't be using. And there's only 1 BB gun there.
What are you doing? Equipment choice depends on content.

If you're just looking to spend protocores blindly then don't, hold onto them if you don't have a need for them.

[rapid summit]

No I mean the super rare enterprise

[plucky void]

who is a CV and thus doesn't use any of that gear

[eternal moth]

Enterprise uses planes, not guns.

Bismarck can use the quad gun though.

Or the twin 460

[weak elk]

Who should I trade

[knotty jolt]

I personally prefer NJ as she's easier to understand and equip but shinano would likely be a better option in the long term

There is always the option to hold onto the UR invitiation too

cause unless max limit broken they aren't the best and get outclassed by full limit broken SSR's

[forest palm]

do you have Amagi (CV), and Hakuho?

[weak elk]

Amagi no Hakusho yes

[forest palm]

then get Shinano

[wheat ore]

can someone recommend a good emulator cuz blue stacks ain't working anymore

[eternal moth]

MuMu

It's been by far the least resource intensive emulator I've tried so far; I tried BlueStacks, LDPlayer and MumuPlayer

[rapid shard]

Mumu12. I just swapped off bluestacks and probably wont ever go back

[wheat ore]

ty

[eternal moth]

It also doesn't have the annoying ad popups that BlueStacks and LDPlayer have.

[hot tiger]

How do I get more t5 boxes

[eternal moth]

Don't worry about it, they probably just have cranes anyways.

[rapid shard]

Event shops and random drops from maps are main ways

[silent hearth]

Im trying to figure out what priority i should focus on first for gear lab, i might be able to get my first rainbow from gear lab but i was thinking of focusing on building a few magnetic torps first, then look at building my BB guns

[rain vine]

/gearlab

[odd root]

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

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab

[silent hearth]

im looking at that already but im just not sure which slot would be better to focus first. my hakuhou and oumi are my top 2 dmg but it feels like building a few magnetic torps would probably be a bigger increase

[viscid swift]

what

the UR Quints are sidegrades to the gold quads you can get from tech boxes

[silent hearth]

ah no i mean making like 6 of the gold mag quads, not making rainbow

[eternal moth]

Strictly from a damage perspective, your best options would be Wyvern or DD gun

[viscid swift]

up to you and what you wanna do

the Quad Mags are not S for New Player simply because they can be obtained from tech boxes

[eternal moth]

Twin 155 Kai are really good, as are flapjacks. Quad mags you can get from IB T4 boxes, so not really worth it.

[silent hearth]

despite my position im still a new player, im about 2.5 weeks old

[viscid swift]

I reiterate, you can get them from tech boxes

not exactly difficult to get, just grind

[silent hearth]

i was thinking about building a few flapjacks but that miniguide says that gain is only a B

[eternal moth]

What guide?

[silent hearth]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab

[hot tiger]

How do I get this in opsi

[rapid shard]

Random RNG drops from Cat nodes and clears

[silent hearth]

is a DD better on Oumi then a CL weapon?

[eternal moth]

I see nothing that would make it better. CL guns have more FP, so should be better in most instances.

[stark quiver]

i guess in the time the rld time for dd guns are better than cls, which can give more damage in a given timeframe

[silent hearth]

her passive extends the range out, it makes a big difference in her dmg but the second weapon recomendations dont take her passive into account

[rapid shard]

Using the 155kai and z46 gun on oumi, ive had more consistent higher dmg runs with the 155kai. Not sure if twin137 would change that but so far thats been my experience with both at +10

[silent hearth]

yeah, its crazy good and i would think that CL dmg difference would just be better over-all but i can understand that it might be better because of the shorter time between shots

hmmm ok. ill give the 155kai a shot

[rapid shard]

Suchis guide does primarily have CL guns listed unless they are DD only

[rapid shard]

My runs have primarily been W13-4

[viscid swift]

that's for killing suicide boats

[slender turtle]

Think dd gun is better on boss st

[viscid swift]

not for sustained DPS at 95 range

[slender turtle]

155 kai probably better for general use

[silent hearth]

i know that there are big differences between gearing for a light, medium or heavy boss but when i can only build a few things so far im trying to go for general use

[rapid shard]

What gun is that on the standard light boss setup?

[viscid swift]

harbin gun

[stark quiver]

suchis guide is a general guide

it doesnt really account for ships with special use cases

[silent hearth]

should i try to farm Mirror Involution for High Performance Hydraulic Steering Gear BP or is it not worth farming for?

[viscid swift]

no

[stark quiver]

just do more research

[slender turtle]

Research gets you a ton

[rapid shard]

Farming war archives suck for BPs.

[silent hearth]

yeah ive heard that >.> ive gotten 14 of them, and im consistent with my research, its just a pain in the ass.

[rapid shard]

Gear just takes time. Cant really rush it at all

[silent hearth]

plus im overflowing with the data keys

[stark quiver]

most people are

[silent hearth]

is it just not worth at all

[slender turtle]

Generally no

[rapid shard]

Main thing its recommended for is getting IB ships for fleet tech to research PRs/DRs.

[silent hearth]

ah ok

yeah i saw a list of fleet tech that had recommendations.

[round hare]

Is Essex retrofit item currently unavailable to obtain?

[soft raft]

You will have to wait until next EN Anniv to get it

[round hare]

And whens that? Thank you

[soft raft]

August

IE you just missed it by 2 months so lol 💀

[round hare]

I joined back in early September 😭

[heavy zealot]

Should i expect good dmg from shinano ;-;? I probably havent built her right

In a stage where my lion does like 150k+ shinano only does about 10k ;-;

[hollow gust]

Then your shinano isn't built right at all

[heavy zealot]

Any new player friendly build for her 🙏

[weary gust]

Lion is built different What stage?

[heavy zealot]

The sp stage on the last event and the meta fight thingy against jintsuu?

[soft raft]

First question, how close is Shinano to MLB?

[heavy zealot]

Both mlb

[soft raft]

sounds like Lion is killing everything too fast before she can even do anything then

[whole crypt]

wrong planes and/or torps whiffing

[weary gust]

SP stage she could be whiffing attacks on the mobs and then not firing on the boss, EX/META she should be doing ~70% of Lion probably.

[whole crypt]

maybe not 80% depending on what he's fighting but definitely not less than 10%

[heavy zealot]

The meta stage tho, over several runs, lion does about 200k? But shinano does the same dmg, around 10k ish, imma ss after i do a run

[whole crypt]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/

same as in same 200k as Lion or same 10k as your whiffing runs

[weary gust]

Just show us what equipment you've got on Shinano

[soft raft]

ngl we still need more info
like what gear is Shinano running and what specific META fight are you talking about

[whole crypt]

should be Jintsuu META, Shinano is not ideal but should still be pulling some weight

[soft raft]

Does she move around alot? I forget

[whole crypt]

a fair bit... but she's also light

[weary gust]

Light armor.

[heavy zealot]

Hmmm actually not so 10k , but sttill underwhelming

[weary gust]

Seafang is bad, Barracuda is awful for bosses.

Is she max level?

[heavy zealot]

:0 imma ss what i have?

[viscid swift]

that is shockingly bad

[heavy zealot]

121

[little tree]

Almost out dps by Jarvis????

[little tree]

Is she max enhanced ?

[heavy zealot]

Ah hecc, not yet, but would that suddenly make a gigantic increase in her dmg ;-;

[little tree]

Well if your trying to match helna scan it will

She is missing a ton of rld

[weary gust]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Aichi_B7A_Ryuusei#tabber-Type_3
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Nakajima_C6N_Saiun_(Model_21_Prototype)#Type_0-0
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Junkers_Ju-87_D-4#Type_0-0

Use one of those for the torpedo bombers/flex slots on bosses. Adjust timing by changing them around.

[little tree]

Avi also affects dmg output

[heavy zealot]

Wer do i get these ;-;

[little tree]

Gear lab

[heavy zealot]

Aw... Oke imma try to make one of them

This the ryusei one right?

[robust onyx]

That's what it says

[heavy zealot]

Hmmm i wonder how long it'd take to make one of those 😭

[robust onyx]

Gold IJN boxes

[little tree]

Huh??

[robust onyx]

Why waste materials

[little tree]

Im sure you cant inbox thoes ?

[weary gust]

Like one day of actually doing opsi?

[little tree]

If he has purple.matts tenzen kai is poverty enough

[heavy zealot]

Wai wha, just one day?

[little tree]

[weary gust]

You can buy all those mats from the shops so yeah, not even rng limited.

[robust onyx]

Guess you're right, I've never gear made them because I got tons of prints from the research lab

[rigid onyx]

pre first reset opsi is painful

[little tree]

tenzen kai is good enough poverty they can make 3 to gold plane

[heavy zealot]

Wym :3

[robust onyx]

You'll get tenzen from gear boxes, upgrade them to Tenzen Kai then upgrade them to Ryusei

[little tree]

The plane you need to craft the ryussi

[soft raft]

Tenzan Kai directly develops into Ryusei
which is one of the more common converging TBs people use

[heavy zealot]

Ah, already made one... Do i make mor?

[robust onyx]

If you can

You'll also want Sauin and junkers

[clear harbor]

How can I tell if I need more blue prints or augment materials vs. a second copy of I-404 from the event shop?

Like, I'm not really sure what the relative worth of all those are.

[soft raft]

Besides the fact that I-404 wont be back for another 2 years while the augment mats and BPs are avaliable from other sources?

[clear harbor]

I have a first copy, so the second copy is basically bulin, if that makes a difference.

[soft raft]

still get it
esp if you dont have much spec core, are missing a decent amount of old URs (cuz reruns), or both

heck even as a veteran with plenty of spec core I still get the dupe over anything else in the shop just to save time

[clear harbor]

I see I see. I started a few months ago with the Raff event, so my UR collection is pretty small so far.

[stark quiver]

i use spec core just to flex

[tawdry cloak]

hi guys, i want to ask how do i quit from guild?

[robust onyx]

Go into guild menu and leave

It's a 24 hour cool down by the way

[tawdry cloak]

ah thank you finally i found the leave button

[rigid onyx]

discord link leaked

[soft raft]

what

oh in the screenshot
like that really matters

[stark quiver]

my guild disc

im only in guild for 36 gold plates/month

[weary gust]

As long as your guild completes 2 of the highest level ops each month and has maxed dock tech, it's fine.

[stark quiver]

idek if mine has maxed
but not like it rly matters tbh

[zenith heron]

I am curious though, is defeating 180 enemies in Guild Achievement good? or lacking?

[weary gust]

It should be the 300 enemies for highest of that type

[zenith heron]

so its lacking? or negligent to bother?

[weary gust]

240 guild coins instead of 400 as the reward, and less guild currency.

Not a huge loss but the bigger issue is ... who is selecting that mission? There's zero reason to not pick the 300 enemies.

[autumn pier]

In the island planner theres a daily mission to interact with a character... I cant seem to complete it, have tried talking, emotes and high fives with the island npcs and also saratoga and it still wont complete

so what the heck is this "interact" supposed to mean?

[late flame]

see what emote is on top of the shipgirl and use that

also #1422463299877867540

[autumn pier]

Oh, that... didnt exactly work but i just spammed all the emotes one by one and the mission completed

[silent hearth]

suggestions on vanguard for yuudachi meta?

im using oumi-izumi-hakuhou for main

[noble pawn]

Need help with Arbiter hard. That fire support will be changed to HP stats

[sharp socket]

why is eld in middle and helena tanking

enty isn't going to hit anything there

[noble pawn]

Ah I didn't check the number

[silent hearth]

im thinking (this is for me) Anchorage-yuudachi-asama, but would harbin be a better option for yuudachi meta?

[sharp socket]

do you have an agir

[noble pawn]

Uh no

Still working on it

[sharp socket]

if not then anchorage helena and someone not eld and use 3 BB

put enty with some other CV and eld in there for slows

[rapid shard]

Stag AAs would be a improvement on Lion and NJ

[sharp socket]

didn't even see the AA, yea put staags on them

but not the biggest issue here

[rapid shard]

Also toolbox instead of icebomb on eldridge.

Or any 500+ HP auxiliary

[sharp socket]

you will need a 2nd boss fleet for this probably

[silent hearth]

hey is anchorage-helena-san diego a good vanguard for chapter 13 btw? ive been struggling and just got sanny yesterday and trying to boost her up

[noble pawn]

So we talking about two fleets? Okay

[rapid shard]

Helena for boss is okay but definitely not mob

[silent hearth]

even just for the AA she provides?

[sharp socket]

just make a thread with your dock cause i cant guess what ships you have

[silent hearth]

the difficulty jump from 12-4 to 13-1 is insane

[rapid shard]

Helena isnt used for AA its for buffing dmg with her scan.

[sharp socket]

not really

[rain vine]

helena aint an aa boat

[rapid shard]

If your lacking AA ships look into getting Chesire. She can help massively with AA on one fleet with Sandy on second

[noble pawn]

just make a thread with your dock cause

[stark quiver]

yea

[rapid shard]

georgia unicorn yumia
cheshire lenja harbin

nj enterprise taihou
anchorage helena sandy

This is my fleets I used to first clear W13 fully. You can obviously swap some around like taihou, Georgia, and lenja for example. Main thing for W13 is having actual AA compared to W12 where random shit can work lol

[weary edge]

when is unzen rerun?

[wind hazel]

soon

[rain vine]

mob fleet can get away with 3 carriers

[weary edge]

is it gonna be after or before collab

[wind hazel]

after

[weary edge]

that fucking blows

[wind hazel]

why

[rapid shard]

Yeah thats just what I had available that was worth using per Moris help at a month and half into game

[noble pawn]

Will we get Unzen gun too?

[wind hazel]

yes

[weary edge]

blows for me bc i dont rly care about the collabs and i hear collab units arent usually that good

[stark quiver]

ofc, unless devs decide to throw a curveball

[noble pawn]

I really need CA gun so much

[stark quiver]

no you dont tbh

[wind hazel]

unzen's ca gun is an antilight ca gun lol

you're not gonna be using it that much

[stark quiver]

and we all know Ca and antilight dont go hand in hand

[wind hazel]

even less so since ca is falling out of meta already

[noble pawn]

How's good compared to Drake gun?

[wind hazel]

it's better, vs light

[hollow gust]

When you realize most collab aren't "good" for vets . They are more then enough for newer players

[stark quiver]

what

[wind hazel]

this time it's hard for it to be good. Hestia the repair ship

[soft raft]

lol

[stark quiver]

she got them healing factors what can i say

[wind hazel]

-# heal my mind with her giant oppai loli

[viscid swift]

I'll probably use her a lot

[hollow gust]

A lot of the newer collab ships are really competitive

[late flame]

[wind hazel]

the new 12-1 slave

[stark quiver]

lmao

[viscid swift]

But then again I also use repair ships a lot more than the average player

[stark quiver]

actually, whos the best repair ship rn

[viscid swift]

Considering the last one we had 2 mediocre gold vanguards, a standard SR BB and an interesting but otherwise unremarkable SR CVL...

Like yeah sure they're usable for newer players but so are most modern SRs

[ripe bluff]

Does anyone know if the 40cm gun cargo for kashino is ever gonna be obtainable again

[stark quiver]

i forgot i got yumia skin

[viscid swift]

In the core data shop

[stark quiver]

i was abt to say no

[ripe bluff]

Oh

Whend that get added wasnt there last time I checked

[wind hazel]

pretty recent

[ripe bluff]

Do they stack?

[viscid swift]

You can't equip more than 1

[ripe bluff]

Rip

I saw limit was two

And thought surely

[noble pawn]

Does it worth crafting?

[wind hazel]

no wait craft what

[weary edge]

any war archives worth doing other than chessboard and polaris

[noble pawn]

Drake Gun

[wind hazel]

no

[hollow gust]

Why do you need rainbow CA guns

[wind hazel]

if you really want one, get it from proto shop as your last priority

[stark quiver]

i think its bc they are using a ca

and if its for anchorage, just use eugen gun lol her dmage doesnt matter too much

[slow fox]

-# NJ Warchive for Rudder

[weary edge]

oh i didnt realise it gave washing machine bps, is ticonderoga good too?

[wind hazel]

he's joking, don't take it seriously

[hollow gust]

Tico hasn't been worth for a long time ngl

[weary edge]

well then is there any other warchive worth doing

[slow fox]

-# eHP slander

[wind hazel]

none really

[rapid shard]

IB ones for fleet tech if you lacking

[wind hazel]

either you want IB ships, or you want commander exp, otherwise it's entirely for ship collection

[weary edge]

ok ig ill js do whatever appeals to me

[stark quiver]

you can also farm campaign stages instead of wasting time in WA

[weary edge]

thanks genius but that wasnt really what i was asking now was it

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 lmao

[weary edge]

ill research if any other warchives other than chessboard drop ib ships later

[noble pawn]

the one gave you Iris Libre/Sardegnia ships maybe

[weary edge]

aquila lowk carrying me in fleet tech for them lol

[stark quiver]

seydlitz is used for pvp if you care about that

[weary edge]

ill look into that too thx

[warped acorn]

what is prototype la9 good at

[noble pawn]

bossing

[wind hazel]

best fighter vs med and heavy

[warped acorn]

alr, was planning to focus pr6

[stark quiver]

dont

[wind hazel]

just do 8

[weary edge]

for mecklen gun right

i think im at 13 bps for that (havent even gotten a pr1 ship to dev30 yet)

[rapid shard]

Needing to get NP and Sadrenga fleet tech up for prs/drs. Out of the 2 factions are any of the ones I have worth fully building for niches or just all tech fodder ships?

[wind hazel]

ye and for new ships BPs overall

[wind hazel]

volga

tashkent if you dont have soyuz and wanna cope nakhimov

[rapid shard]

This is actually to get requirements to get nakh and the elf girls lol. IB RN Sak and EU points are high enough for everyone else just lacking these 2 factions

Any of the Italy ones worth anything other than tech points?

[wind hazel]

not really, just tech

[hardy creek]

Guys who should I research next? I've done roon, Louis, monarch, FdG, Cheshire, ancho, agir, hakuryuu, AvP, Plymouth, Kearsage, Shimanto and Nakhimov

[wind hazel]

whoever you want

[hardy creek]

Ah aight, Izumo is useful for OpSi right?

[wind hazel]

not really, when you have monarch fdg

[ripe kernel]

I am from a caribbean country and cant buy things in the game with real money, any answers?

[hoary relic]

what gun should i use for eld

[hardy creek]

How about ibuki?

[wind hazel]

good torpedo boat, very useful in opsi mob

[hardy creek]

Aight I'll do her then

[peak fable]

Are there retrofit blueprints in the guild shop?
According to guides, there should be, but I don't see them in mine...

[hoary relic]

there are but not always

[peak fable]

Could refreshing do the trick?

[hoary relic]

pray that those bp will be on sale when u reset

[stark quiver]

maybe
get gold plates first before you reset
gun plates are good

[hoary relic]

everyone needs gold plates

literally everyone

[scarlet cosmos]

you cant coin brest right? if not, is she worth going after or should i got for nakihmov?

[onyx flame]

cant coin dr5 yet

[red hawk]

are there any guides or is there any advice for the higher level commander daily challenges? I struggle to survive/do enough damage on lvl 100 tactical and the 95 missions

resets in like an hour and I wanna make sure I'm pushing as high as I can with those

I know there's a video for subs

[rain vine]

tactical is just running the correct fleet setup
advance training - run 3 bb for suicide boat intercept, manual if needed for your vanguard to intercept
escort mission - run 3 cv and manual, use airstrikes to clear torps

[wheat ore]

been using the mumu player and it's kinda laggy, is there anyway to fix it?

[rain vine]

are you specifically using mumu 12?

[wheat ore]

does that mean android 12?

[noble pawn]

isnt mumu automatically Android 12 installed by default?

[rain vine]

i tried running the most recent mumu update and azur lane runs horribly on it

[wheat ore]

it's currently running horrible 😭, is there anyway i can revert back to the previous versions?

[noble pawn]

my settings, never update mumu

[rain vine]

if you can somehow track down the mumu 12 install file

[wheat ore]

is vulkan better than directx?

[noble pawn]

if you have AMD graphics card

[whole crypt]

as far as I can tell it runs the game fine, so I'd just stick with it

for the record I'm using a team green card

[red hawk]

is there any reason to do the different styles outside of missions? like what's the advantage of aviation versus firepower when doing the raids for the loot

I know some event stuff and side quests require you to do specific challenges

[rain vine]

there is no difference between them in terms of rewards

[red hawk]

so just clear one and call it good

I just know i need to stop doing the lower ones because I'm gonna want the cog chips and stuff

[steel forge]

hello just started playing azur lane today and wanted to ask is this guide still up to date? https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbietips/dayonetips/guildshop

[rain vine]

the research section isnt updated, but everything else looks up to date

[steel forge]

thanks! are there any other starter guides that u can recommend?

[rain vine]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/

[noble pawn]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[steel forge]

thanks guys! ill take a look

[hazy olive]

Alright I now have a Reno

Any good?

[vale spindle]

shes collection tier only for the most part

[hazy olive]

Okay dokey

Also how do I keep escort ships in a hard mode battle because I need those fucking retrofit prints

[onyx flame]

turn off clearing mode

[stark quiver]

escorts dont drop retro prints

[wind hazel]

escorts dont give retrofit blueprints

[onyx flame]

prob want to 3 star em for the prints i guess

[wind hazel]

oh, true

[stark quiver]

damn
ive never done those

[wind hazel]

n00b

[hazy olive]

Any ideas 😭

[stark quiver]

heres an idea

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 reading

[rain bobcat]

what was the max a purple cat can roll, 9?

[onyx flame]

8 i think? cause it starts with 2 and you get 6 once level 30

[white ice]

is this worth?

[rain bobcat]

oh, ok my ark is perfect then

[rain vine]

no

[hazy olive]

it’s free.

[rain bobcat]

probably the worse possible research you should do

[rain vine]

c research is garbage

[white ice]

its 12 hours

[onyx flame]

i mean if they are super new and really cant afford anything its free at least

but its by no means good at all

[hazy olive]

When you don’t have the coins or the blueprints, you don’t really have a choice

[rain vine]

you dont have plates?
you have a q research there

[white ice]

i did the 2 hours gouden leeuw one

[topaz willow]

Hi, does anyone know how to get mushrooms and elegant wood in the island planner?

[onyx flame]

you can use this as a research guide

[onyx flame]

#1422463299877867540 but msuhrooms are found at the farm area and elegant wood needs research

[noble pawn]

this is my mistake playing AL gold no cost = easy profit

[topaz willow]

thanks!

[wind hazel]

^for really new players, try to prioritize the following

once you have stable coin income you can take D instead of T or C

[white ice]

im coinless rn because of research academy

im trying to get the waifus

[wind hazel]

but this is the research academy...

[white ice]

my waifus need to be strong

[vivid nebula]

Who is Hakuryuu best paired with?

[noble pawn]

then Q research is priority as it reward you with gears print

[wind hazel]

amagi shinano, but kinda lost her place nowadays

maybe amagi hakuhou would be stronger

[vivid nebula]

Whats the timing supposed to be?

[wind hazel]

ryu>the rest

[vivid nebula]

Ahh ok

How about the Haku comp?

[wind hazel]

[rain bobcat]

thy're both haku...

[vivid nebula]

Hou*

[wind hazel]

what about it

[vivid nebula]

Same timings?

[wind hazel]

with who?

[vivid nebula]

With amagi as you said

[wind hazel]

if you're using hakuryuu, you let her strike first, second or third don't matter.

what are you asking? hakuhou with who?

with amagi and?

[vivid nebula]

Oh is it no longer shinano if its Hakuhou and Amagi?

[wind hazel]

no hakuhou amagi shinano is the trio combo

but you were asking about hakuryu, so i gave you hakuryu info

[uneven knot]

hey guys i just mlb hakuhou what gear should i run on her?

[vivid nebula]

Ah. Sorry I worded my follow up wrong. I asked first about Hakuryuu then how would the timings shift if I replaced her with Hakuhou

[wind hazel]

doesn't matter, no preference. as long as amagi off flag

[vivid nebula]

Should the strikes still be tightly timed?

[wind hazel]

of course

[soft raft]

That is heavily context dependent
Also good god get rid of those BTD-1s asap

[wind hazel]

granted you don't need slow either

[vivid nebula]

As tight as the enty, yorky and avp comp you recommended me before?

[rain bobcat]

why does amagi have to be off flag btw, was it the distance thing

[soft raft]

Also you might want to give this a read
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

[rain bobcat]

path difference moment ig

[wind hazel]

depends on fight. with implacable the time is less strict than vs avp, but it's good practice to keep them all as close as possible

[rain bobcat]

physics coming in clutch

[uneven knot]

LMFAOO are they that bad 😭

[soft raft]

Yes

[vivid nebula]

Very

[soft raft]

unironically one of the worst DBs in the game

[rain bobcat]

atrocious hit rate

[vivid nebula]

Those SB2Cs outperform them by miles

[uneven knot]

bet imma scrap em 🤣

[wind hazel]

campaign

[vivid nebula]

I don't remember if the bombs tended to cluster or have atrocious spread

[stark quiver]

you can put them on unused ships

[hazy olive]

Should I make augments?

[wind hazel]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules/

[shadow yarrow]

Wheres treasure maps 2 and 4 in island mode

I already got number 3 from the bee quest

[safe nexus]

how to get a clearer image for the /plus13?

[wind hazel]

open in browser

[soft raft]

Have you tried the "Open in browser" button

[safe nexus]

perfect it worked thx

[exotic vine]

which ones should i use for bismarck zwei

[wind hazel]

both can be viable, but i would suggest getting 457 from protocore shop instead if needed

[soft raft]

Triple 406 Mk 7 is mainly for anti-light
Twin 457 is mainly a mobbing gun, but can see some use in boss in situations when you want to stagger your shots more consistently

[safe nexus]

can someone tell me the ideal lvl for a ship to reach so they are strong enough to do 11-1? (haven't unlock 11-1 yet but almost)

[rapid shard]

A half decent fleet setup thats got decent gear at lv100 should clear no issues

[safe nexus]

at lvl 100, thats gonna drain a lot of books to get even 1 ship, what about what lvl for 9-1 until they reach 100?

[mint flint]

you can slap ships into even w12 at ~80 with the right gearing

[hazy olive]

I mean to be frank, unless you just pulled a new ship that’s really good, your ships up to now will work, I’d assume, given that my ships are at level 100-110 (other than the newly chucked in Asama) in world 7

[rapid shard]

You dont need to use books to lvl ships. Just keep running highest world lvl you can that has oil cap and if you haven't gotten W9 yet Polaris is a good spot to grind xp

[dapper token]

Do higher hard stages gave more retro bp?

[safe nexus]

so do i target w12 then only i start new ship lvlings?

[gilded carbon]

What are some personal Augments that should be avoided?

[mint flint]

you generally want to start farming at w12 yes

[safe nexus]

ok thx

[mint flint]

12-1 and 12-4 are the optimal farming spots

[mint flint]

why would you avoid personal augments

[rapid shard]

Yes W12-4 is where 99% of plauw4s spend time grinding. Its best oil/xp-coin ratio

[mint flint]

oh wait theres that one sub aug actually

[safe nexus]

well i got ships i want to build for boss fleet for opsi so i wanna know when's ideal to build a boss fleet

[rapid shard]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules

[safe nexus]

ok thx

[rapid shard]

Use this to judge if a unique aug is worth investing

[safe nexus]

its too hard for lower lvl ships so i cant really

[atomic solstice]

do I pull the trigger on dropping 60k on eldritch retro

[mint flint]

you need to put good gear on them

[gilded carbon]

Will take a Look, thx. I just crafted the Aug for Sandy and checked what other Ships of Mine can have one. Quite the Investment

[safe nexus]

ye i did, the suicide ships can destroy my BB quickly even with my best if i lack dmg

[rapid shard]

What world are you at? And what lvl is your fleet? You can literally just overlevel and cleat everything through W11 with relative ease and honestly W12 too

[safe nexus]

lvl 120 eevryone except pennsy at lvl 110, the starter team unicon pennsy helena portland Z23 and nelson

[rapid shard]

Unique augs are great but some are worth way more than others. That guide breaks down boost to everyone really well

[rapid shard]

Sounds like a gear issue then tbh.

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

[safe nexus]

that bad? 😭

[dapper token]

Best way to farm retro bp?

[mint flint]

just do your hard nodes daily

[rapid shard]

Yeah if they are basically all 120 your overleveling enemies by a lot and should be able to just brute force clear it. Since your not either you've got a really bad setup or really bad gear.

[mint flint]

even with a really bad setup, level 120 and with good gear can easily clear w11 and 12

[rapid shard]

Thats why I think its a bit of both. Can you start a thread and post your fleets and gear on them @safe nexus ?

[safe nexus]

ok

My gear

[rapid summit]

Could I replace regensburg with Helena for her debuff?

[dapper token]

do the higher stages gives more or nah?

[hazy olive]

Is Pennsylvania really the best you have BB wise

[rain vine]

helena is a better debuff (if it decides to proc) and easier to sync around

[balmy coyote]

A peaceful day

[dapper token]

Can u use DR ships at base LB?

[safe nexus]

belson and pennsy nothing else

[dapper token]

like is it worth

[rain vine]

no, they will be missing a ton of damage

[hazy olive]

Oh yikes

[eternal fiber]

ooooof

[hazy olive]

That’s worse than my lineup in world 7 😭

[safe nexus]

😭

[noble pawn]

I would say investing Rodney is a good choice for now
Or wait for good BB to level from guild/merit/medal exchange

[safe nexus]

i somehow got asma and not oumi 😭

[hazy olive]

I got Oumi 5 times.

[safe nexus]

i got 0 :D

[eternal fiber]

can't you get a UR invitation from rookie missions or something?

[safe nexus]

ye i did but they said not to use it now

[hazy olive]

Asama thrice (which is sad because she’s eh)

And HAKUHOU BABY (three times in 70 pulls)

[eternal fiber]

ahhh

[rapid shard]

UR would be useless without MLB

[hazy olive]

I mean aren’t the only ones worth pulling NJ or Shinano, and even then, you need to grind grind grind to make them worth it

[eternal fiber]

ahh, true

[safe nexus]

probably gonna make her MLB at lvl 70 nd wait

[eternal fiber]

idk how I'm forgetting stuff like that when I'm level 128 XD

[hazy olive]

A good UR ship at level 70 without LBs isn’t gonna do too good at world 8 or 9 nevertheless world 11

[rapid shard]

Plus shinano would be best pick but hardest to gear for him.

[hazy olive]

So you’d be dumping UR bulins into a regular pool UR which would be

Sad.

I will say Asama is probably a good choice for his fleet two because he doesn’t have many choices for vanguard there, that are good, anyways. Unzen is a direct upgrade though.

I’m shocked at the MLB Hakuhou and somehow not a single Oumi

[rapid shard]

I got 4 total copies of Hakuhou and had to go almost to second pity to get a single Oumi myself.....

[hazy olive]

I got MLB Oumi by about pull 35

Wait hold on

I got 7 Oumis

[eternal fiber]

I'm just stuck in this loop where I get cubes and then use them all up on event banners T_T

[hazy olive]

because my second is at LB 1

[eternal fiber]

maybe I should choose to skip some non UR banners

[hazy olive]

mhm.

[safe nexus]

i got hakuhou at 30-40+ pity, then i stopped pulling, i got the MLB from UR bulins and stuff

[eternal fiber]

i only have like 72 cubes for this collab, lol

[hazy olive]

I’m a metaslave because I’m not really interested in waifu

so I just metaslave.

[noble pawn]

People said NJ isn't good and pick Shinano. I picked NJ and she's serving my fleet till right from campaign to Arbiter, while Shinano can only work with IJN CV comps which doesn't exist in my current dock right now. I got BisZ and will replace her soon enough. It's up to you to pick either but I'd rather have it easy.

[rapid shard]

You did the smart thing.

[hazy olive]

Azur Lane is quite good with gacha tbf you can get a lot of cubes fairly easily

[eternal fiber]

Yeah, I think it's just because I try to pull for the new ships, Maybe that was important back when I came back to the game but now I'm in a good spot.

Dunno about this collab though because while I've never seen Danmachi, they will be limited...

[hazy olive]

From what I've heard, collabs are rarely good though, no?

[safe nexus]

ok thx

[eternal fiber]

Yeah, true. I just have a habit of pulling for super limited characters like collabs from my other gachas

[hazy olive]

I think Shinano would work for Kurumi if he gets another IJN CV that's even decently okay. Because he has MLB Hakuhou

[robust onyx]

Neither Danmachi ship will be groundbreaking

[hazy olive]

But it's a moot point because he would have to dump UR Bulins into a standard UR

[rapid shard]

Biggest issue is NJ has been hard powercrept by all UR BBs where as shinano is still competitive even with new ones.

[hazy olive]

Hakuhou-Shinano-another IJN CV is still perfectly good from what I know

[rapid shard]

I say this as someone who MLB NJ first as well cause I liked her the best

[wanton dawn]

is a +10 marco polo gun or +13 Champaign gun better for medium armour?

[noble pawn]

Sure, but does he has the gears? I mean Tenzan are easy to get. Lots of comps using Ryuusei and Saiun

[knotty jolt]

The reason to hold onto the invitation was cause until they get a dupe from pity or other source the first copy will be a paper weight in their dock

[hazy olive]

Although healing will be oof

Unless you wanna use Shouhou

[rapid shard]

Ships like shinano are mainly used for bossing so healing is a non-factor

[eternal fiber]

I'm pretty sure they have Unicorn, although idk if they managed to retrofit her yet

[hazy olive]

Shinano team needs IJN

[eternal fiber]

Ahhhh

[hazy olive]

Wait wait wait wait

@safe nexus RETROFIT HER NOW

[noble pawn]

he has Unicorn retrofit

[safe nexus]

everyone in my fleet is max retrofit

[eternal fiber]

Yeah, what I saw was a old screenshot, idk their current dock

[safe nexus]

building san diego retrofit now and its draining my resource super quickly

[hazy olive]

Does he need the most meta of gears? Most of the purple and gold planes will work well enough for W11, no?

[wind hazel]

you shouldnt retro her now

[noble pawn]

I mentioned Tenzan

[wind hazel]

delay it. get her augment and thats enough

[knotty jolt]

UR retros are major resource sinks and niche

[safe nexus]

what then who to retrofit

[rapid shard]

Sandy retro isnt needed to W13 so no need to rush

[noble pawn]

San Diego is super expensive. No need to rush her

[safe nexus]

idk who else is the main thing

[rapid shard]

Your good on retros right now so just focus on gear and leveling

[wind hazel]

saratoga

[hazy olive]

...and getting another BB and praying to God Unzen banner is good

[safe nexus]

also done

[wind hazel]

then save

[hazy olive]

Wait is she good

[wind hazel]

she's decent

[eternal fiber]

Yeah, she's good

[knotty jolt]

I mean she has double dive bombers and supporting HE barrage so for her price she's strong

[safe nexus]

should i just grind X-2 retrofit bp then?

[eternal fiber]

I used her in the past before I got better CVs

[noble pawn]

Saratoga. I'd say don't forget to get Independence too

[wind hazel]

whatever you need. see what retro bp you're lacking, balance it out. shipyard gonna need them too, not just your retro ships
