gameplay-help

[wind hazel]

yes, even CL doesn't necessarily mean more AA

[bold peak]

Well ig there's laffey and z46, imma shut up

[bold peak]

Alright

[wind hazel]

again, hull doesn't determine their role

i can use z52 trafalgar and eldridge, triple DD, yet their AA are great

put in avrora, a CL, and the fleet AA might be worse

[peak fable]

Fighters are +6 Corsairs, I have 2 Air Radars in there, just +3, AA guns are all +8 purples. I don't think any other gear matters here, because vanguard survivability is not the issue.

[wind hazel]

look i cannot help you if you dont help me. show me their loadout, everyone in the mob

[dusty gulch]

Hey so on Hard Mode I think I normally defeat all escort fleets by retreating a few times and then clear the hard mode stage to get my 3 star rewards, but this time I cleared the stage first and then went in and killed the remaining escort fleets and did a retreat but didn't see any rewards pop up. Am I screwed? I cleared the stage again and didn't see any cog arrays rewarded.

[wind hazel]

they only drop from boss

not killing boss=no stage reward

[dusty gulch]

oh that's terrible.

[atomic abyss]

On the other hand

Not killing boss means no attempts used

[dusty gulch]

umm yeah but I just care about the 3-star reward of 25 cog arrays.

[rain bobcat]

I don't see the prolem here

did u actually 3 star it

[dusty gulch]

Yeah but idk if I got the rewards since I retreated after I got to 3 stars. No popup or mission or anything saying I got rewarded.

[autumn walrus]

hello, is there any different between the servers??

for beginner, which servers should I choose??

[rain vine]

unless theres a specific guild that you want to join, it doesnt matter which server you choose

[autumn walrus]

then what is server that has the most people (the active player) in it??

[rain vine]

any of them

[atomic abyss]

We don't know
I would recommend just taking the one the game recommends tho

[hallow mountain]

Is Hestia any good as an AR ship?

It has actually been 8 years since we got a new one

I hope they get the hint and give Kashino a retrofit

[rain bobcat]

typical so not great a ship but ok repair ship ig

[atomic abyss]

The best one, though still a repair ship

[atomic abyss]

It has not been 8 years

It has been like, 3

[dusty gulch]

Oh man I think I'm just trippin.

[atomic abyss]

Last repair ship before Hestia was vestal meta

[boreal wagon]

also kashino isnt even a repair ship so its not even related

[hallow mountain]

I feel like that's not entirely true

I read her skills and I found that she gives dmg buffs which seems interesting

[atomic abyss]

It's great by repair ship skills standard

[hallow mountain]

And she's apparently the best healer ship (AR) so far?

[atomic abyss]

But consider she literally does no surface damage

[wind hazel]

it's good if you wanna rig vanguard MVP for 12-1 farm

[atomic abyss]

And the buffs are just a nice bonus

[hallow mountain]

I meant like, putting Kashino to the backline as an option, kinda like An Shan

[boreal wagon]

no?

[atomic abyss]

Why would that help anything

[hallow mountain]

Yeah I know she'll still suck but I have no idea how they'll fix her

[atomic abyss]

As people have put into #game-feedback every once in a while

Just making them not part of your 2 fleets would help a lot

[boreal wagon]

thatd just hurt even more bc you are removing a main fleeter instead

[hallow mountain]

Maybe if they'll make it so that she can equip Yamato guns for herself

[atomic abyss]

Ok that's enough coping

[native robin]

I need a healer that packs a punch, I can put her in a fleet for bossess

This healer is Unicorn ain't she?

[inland shoal]

I mean idk what you want to use Unicorn in a fleet for bosses for

[rain vine]

you shouldnt need a healer on boss fleet
if you do need one, aquila would be the best option

[whole crypt]

why do you need a healer for a boss fleet to start with

[grave mantle]

Any of Aquila/Klaudia (collab)/Painleve
They are actual CV healers

Volga can also help with healing, though she will heal less consistent, and she is also a proper CV

[peak fable]

I think it translates to "my Vanguard is too weak, but because I don't wanna change ships or improve gear, I hope that my main fleet will carry the lack of survivability"

[grave mantle]

Getting powerful healer is more restrictive than getting proper vanguard

[peak fable]

im more wondering what he is using on his mob fleet if not unicorn xd

[grave mantle]

Maybe Perseus

[peak fable]

I hope so

Is this gun good for anything

[gilded carbon]

If we're already talking healers, how far off is Zuihou by now?

Aside from rare. And with a Skill for Submarines ^^`

[atomic abyss]

It's significantly better than what you're using

[atomic abyss]

Below Aquila, same level as Volga I'd say

Can't be compared to Uni or Percy

[peak fable]

Oh, that was just the standard equip, I was just wondering if that gun is good on San Diego

[atomic abyss]

It'll work

[peak fable]

Alright ty

[gilded carbon]

I only recently got Aquila. Is she worth investing in?

If she is an ok healer

[atomic abyss]

You will need secondary healers for W14 and especially w15

Aquila is the best of the secondary healers

A very very good investment

Given she can run a different load out for preload instead of healing

[violet grail]

Ive got 4 of those without particularly doing anything to get them. Just seems easy to get. I think all my vanguard ships have it as secondary gun, dont really have any better options yet personally.

[rain bobcat]

its the 12-4 drop thats why

[spark patio]

what is the best thing to whale?

[flint frigate]

Is the z flag from core ltd good?

[rain bobcat]

dock

[safe nexus]

what the max tuning for opsi?

[wind hazel]

max effective 203 203 156, max number 999

[gilded carbon]

Well. Once i get my sorry ass to properly Challenge W13 im coming back to that

[safe nexus]

ty

[silent hearth]

hitting 999 on any of the stats would take a shit ton of oil, would it even be realisticly possible?

[wind hazel]

opsi doesn't take oil

[boreal wagon]

its doable without spending any oil but takes quite some time and is somewhat rng dependent (and it is also pointless)

[wind hazel]

if you're c1 spammer, you'll get there soon

[safe nexus]

c1 spammer for what again?

[silent hearth]

cant you spend oil to get AP? im not logged in

[wind hazel]

free exp, more AP

[boreal wagon]

you can but you dont need to

[wind hazel]

yes but you can also don't spend oil for AP

[safe nexus]

c1 mainly exp grind?

[wind hazel]

exp is a side bonus

[silent hearth]

yeah i wouldnt bother, im just saying i thought you could XD

[safe nexus]

what was the main thing? i forgot

[wind hazel]

mainly to get more AP, to repeat more c3/c5 for materials

it's kinda shit, because the rewards are marginal increase

[silent hearth]

o.0 you get a decent amount of AP boxes from it? thats good to know

[safe nexus]

use more AP fto get more AP cool

[silent hearth]

i run out of things to do, so this will at least give me something to do tomorrow.

[wind hazel]

make sure to buy AP box from akashi would be funny if you skip the encounter in your setting

also dont try without safety net of 800~1k ap in hand

bf109g
or use BB+mk2/6/7

[silent hearth]

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

This is your best bet, if you dont have a listed gear piece for use F4U Corsair, for dive bombers use Helldivers, for Torps use Tenzan

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

The gear lab gives the best suggestions on which you should get from gear lab first, its better to go with its' suggestions then try to get a piece that might work in one situation better. some things will give you a much bigger over-all boost in more areas.

[rain bobcat]

got unlucky in the end

[frozen stag]

how good is ryu lion

[inland shoal]

Decent

[safe nexus]

so the only source to get positive AP is from the encounter?

[violet grail]

ive had a single mysterious merchant give 250 AP once so far, but she shows up fairly rarely and the shop isnt always that good.

[safe nexus]

😭

[coarse lance]

So what are you all farming for event points? Feels really weird that there are no event stages to do this time. I haven't touched main story stages in ages...

[violet grail]

just xp farming 12-4 for my second fleet, you dont need to do anything specifically for the event, it just completes itself.

[dapper token]

Is there a way to speed up dr print income

[novel solstice]

I just took the next dozen ships I'm leveling up for tech bonuses and am sending through 12-1 endlessly, praying for cog chips 🙂

[floral latch]

@wind hazel hey uhh, Mor? Better medium or small research?

I only have the D ones. Just finished the gold Q that is 30 minute

The ones I mention rn is blue and purple D

[violet grail]

This is what I saw people post yesterday about research.

So presumably you are asking between 2.5h D and 5h D, in which case you would prefer 2.5h as long as it doesnt cost cubes?

[floral latch]

Yeah I've seen it a couple of times rn just wonder better take medium or small

[floral latch]

Honestly I prefer using cubes rn because I have 8k coins left.

[azure coyote]

Hestia and Ryu worth it?

[floral latch]

Wait wait.

[violet grail]

at that point you should just be doing free research with no req, commission and recycle requirements rather than trying to minmax.

[floral latch]

I changed my mind. I'll use the coins even if I have little amount.

[floral latch]

Ahh I see

Hmm... sadly no free rn.. Guess the cube should do for a bit.

[violet grail]

do you have at least 400 cubes?

[azure coyote]

Ain't no way blud is using his cubes for research

[floral latch]

180 rn

[violet grail]

heck no, dont use cubes

[floral latch]

Roger, no cube using

[violet grail]

refresh if you have it, if not take something that costs t1 or t2 plates or the cheapest coin one if theres like a 1.5k one

[floral latch]

I'll take the research that needs me to use 3k, so I will only had 5k left.

There is nothing else there sadly. It's 3/5k coin or 3/6 cubes

[violet grail]

aight 3k then

[novel solstice]

Also, if you are that short on coins: try to push the main campaign until you are at least at w9, your coin income goes up dramatically once you are into oilcap land.

[violet grail]

i thought he was w11 or 12 already, might be confusing with someone else

im finally managing to sit at around 30k coins most of the time now that im on 12-4 and done with mlbs and retros for current ships, feels nice not to be below 5k all the time.

[floral latch]

Just finished whole W9 just now

[azure coyote]

Is hestia and ryu worth it?

[floral latch]

Help the poor fella first

[violet grail]

from what ive seen written in this channel, hestia isn't worth same as any AR ship, ryu is decent.

[azure coyote]

Can't expect much from collab ships so idk what I was expecting

[violet grail]

gratz!

[floral latch]

Current state.

10k oil, 6k coins. W9 just finished. Even though 9-3 and 4 aren't fully triple star yet.

Push to 10 or triple them first?

[violet grail]

push till 11 if you can, 11-1 is a big xp spike

[floral latch]

Hopefully the oils are enough.

I'm currently had 2400 in refinery waiting to be taken. But can't because my limit is 7400

[violet grail]

is that just oil on hand, or including mail rewards from maintenances?

[floral latch]

Oil on hand, I already take everything from the rewards and used them.

[violet grail]

if you click batch claim, it stores in mail storage instead, which is nice for being able to store more than your cap. its not needed for most events but nice to have it just in case.

[floral latch]

I tried press it but keep says over limit unable to take

[violet grail]

anyways good luck with chapter 10

[floral latch]

Uhh hang on.. What's this storage thing in the mail?

[violet grail]

uh sec ill screenshot

[floral latch]

I have 39k oil and 32k coin waiting to be withdrawn?

[hushed sorrel]

yes if its in the storage

[hushed sorrel]

all the oil and coins you collect from mails go into the storage. you need to claim them twice to truly be able to use them

[floral latch]

Ahhh I see

[violet grail]

wow you rich rich, america bout to invade for all that oil

[rapid shard]

Leave oil in mail till you need it for event farming unless you really want to push campaign

same with coins.

[violet grail]

whats your commander level at?

[summer niche]

Coins are definitely my bottleneck right now, but I'm nervous to use cubes since I'm a newb who only has 50.

[floral latch]

Just reached 70 today

[violet grail]

dont use cubes

[violet grail]

ah so you're gonna be blocked by that anyways in campaign, just push as far as it lets you then.

[rapid shard]

Dont use cubes for reasearch unless your cube rich (600+) you need 400 to pity a ur when events roll around. and there is a rerun in the nearish future coming as well

[summer niche]

It's like free extra storage, so don't claim them unless you need them, so you can maximize use of free/daily sources... what I've heard at least.

[summer niche]

That was my suspicion, thanks for confirm.

[violet grail]

while you are low on coins, just do free research, once you get to chapter 12 you will start to have way more coins available. if no free research, refresh or take the cheapest available even if its super long, just to have some research going.

[rapid shard]

Also the rigging projects take plates instead of coins so you can mix those in

and if your lacking good gear rigging projects will help a ton

for example

[summer niche]

Next question... Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in A Dungeon event...
I'm a beginner leveling my first team.
Should I slot here in my main team temporarily and just jet her ride their coattails?

I've just started making my way through the main campaign chapter 4 with them, though they're clearly overleveled for it already, just from the time I've taken to 3* levels, plus a little time in the early Amahara stages before that event ended..

Oops, meant to posty my fleet with that.

[onyx flame]

there no need to slot hestia in

just grind more campaign and you still get her by the end

[violet grail]

just ignore the event, it will get completed just by farming campaign normally, no need to have hestia in any fleet at all for it.

[atomic abyss]

Hestia would make any team worse so no

[summer niche]

Yeah, I just don't know if I can guarantee being able to play every day, so time saved is good.
I'm probs fine, just don't want to get scroyed, lol.

[rapid shard]

Just doing normal playing youll finish it no issue. the requirments are super low. even if you miss a day catch up is easy

[soft raft]

Swap Javelin and Portland around
And id yeet Hakuhou for someone else cuz she's barely doing shit at 0LB

[rapid shard]

||At least shes nice to look att as secretary||

[violet grail]

Solid first fleet though. Just haku you might want to replace with something you can actually MLB if you dont have x4 specialized bulins yet.

[rapid shard]

99.9% of time URs are useless unless MLB and that applys to all raritys. a MLB purple would preform better than her currently.

[summer niche]

Yeah, just I'm likely to get a couple bulins pretty soon, so I figured based on some commentary I got that leveling her wouldn't be a terrible thing.
Good info though.
Regarding Jav and Portland, was already told that early, just jav was higher level at the time, and since they evened out I've forgotten.
Javelin's dodge is so high it almost doesn't matter so far though. xD

[onyx flame]

you really only need 72 boss battles max (assuming your only at chp 3 less if your at higher campaign) to earn hestia and her aug

[soft raft]

Evasion based tanks are not really that good later on cuz that relies on them consistently dodging

[rapid shard]

LvLing her isnt bad but currently shes mainly used for Heavy bossing setups (which there is none currently) to really maximize her. Shes good to lvl cause she will give you a nice boost to fleettech at 120 but youll be better off using a diff ship currently

[summer niche]

Makes sense. Enemy hit stat goes up I presume.

[onyx flame]

even less if your at higher campaign (idk if the double plan affect trust but if it doesn you can half the amount too)

[vapid valve]

I have been using hestia as a punching bag tbh

[summer niche]

Honestly at the moment I can use any team right now as long as I leave Oumi in, LOL. She scary.

[violet grail]

She do be a monster for damage.

[rapid shard]

Yeah Oumi is top gold BB currently and i love her too lol but youll probably run into some issues once you hit higher worlds with Hakuhou being basically dead weight

[summer niche]

Here are the ships I have available. Suggestions for swaps?
(And where should I go to help me guesstimate for myself? 700 is a lot of ships. xP )

[eternal moth]

What's the best anti-light fleet now that doesn't include Implacable?

[wind hazel]

lion soyna

[eternal moth]

And then for vanguard, I assume you include Sirius and Traf?

[wind hazel]

z52 ply traf, helena if you wanna gamba

kirovM+helena if 1 strike or something

but that's another setup i think

[eternal moth]

Ply and Helena are in another fleet, so I'll stick with Sirius for now. Not like light's hard to kill. Thanks.

[dapper token]

after anchorage whats the next pr ship to get

[grizzled mortar]

I can develop either harbin or Plymouth next, and have twice as many prints for harbin - should I start with her?

[timid vortex]

kashino's kit is weird. What gear is best for her?

[tame jungle]

you're best off not using her at all

[ivory pawn]

Might as well, can’t coin Ply yet so no rush to finish her unless you’re close to enough prints for dev25+.

[atomic abyss]

she will actively make your team worse, dont use her

[grizzled mortar]

yeah it's 85 prints for harbin and 43 for ply

[tropic tusk]

thankyou now give the rule a read (no gif allow)

[timid vortex]

[rapid summit]

I want to get mecklenburg gun for bzwei but don’t know if I should start it yet should I focus on it or wait?

[wind hazel]

why havent you been focusing it yet

[sick kettle]

why does the guide says that flapjack has higher aa than tigercat despite of their same gun damage?

[atomic abyss]

flies more slowly, can shoot more

@sick kettle

[sick kettle]

well just realized that both of them got different flying speed, thanks lol, guess ill be crafting more of those eyesore

[viscid swift]

and better intercept cooldown time

[rapid summit]

I have 19/50 I’m slowly I just haven’t gone full in depth for it but what would the best way to go for it would be?

[wind hazel]

gear focus your research, that's about it

[rapid summit]

So if I see it In one of the research just go for it?

[viscid swift]

depends on your preference of ships or gear first

[mystic heron]

which ones do i buy rainbow bulins for? i only have 104288 specialized cores + 2 ur bulins at dock

[weary edge]

“oh yea i only got like a million dollars in spare change” 😭😭😭✌️✌️ but probably hakuhou or traf depending on what ur lacking in

[red sapphire]

Newbie question. Is the armor break from Tenrai the same as Barracuda (831 Squadron)? And, should I buy the second mentioned?

[stark quiver]

whatre all the URs you have leveled and maxed, screenshot plz

[vapid valve]

is it any good to focus on the large projects on the research side

[stark quiver]

don buy cuda, not worth

[red sapphire]

Okay, thank you

[kind orbit]

i think my game is bwoken

[viscid swift]

that's just desync

[stark quiver]

and yes AB is same,

[stark quiver]

both haku and traf is good

[viscid swift]

and I-404

[mystic heron]

okey

[red sapphire]

Alright. I'm trying to set a route to build Aircraft for CVs and found that. I was curious. I supose until Tenrai I just use Helldivers

[short wagon]

aichi b7a good?

[viscid swift]

yes

[short wagon]

should i use it over prototype saiun kai?

[red sapphire]

For who?

[short wagon]

implac

[stark quiver]

depends on what gear the rest of your backline is using

[short wagon]

do i make a thread and just send ss

[stark quiver]

sure

[viscid swift]

use whichever fits your timing needs the best

[red sapphire]

May I have a look for learning? I'm actually looking CV stuff rn

[wind hazel]

and most likely wont be saiun, impla is fast

[short wagon]

ya

[viscid swift]

just plug your ships, gear, tech and cats into here
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/

try and get your CVs to ideally launch within 0.2 seconds of each other with Implac going 2nd

[red sapphire]

I tried to do that but the website sets it 50s minimum after previous launchs. Is that usual?

[short wagon]

gear

[viscid swift]

what

[red sapphire]

0.5s Oops

[weary edge]

im like 100% getting tenrai from protocore shop right

[viscid swift]

yes, it's a game mechanic

[wind hazel]

after getting AP guns, yes

[weary edge]

oh da? i thought tenrai was #1 prio in proto shop

[wind hazel]

no

[red sapphire]

Oh okay good to know ty

[weary edge]

hmm, allow me to consult the graphs 🤓

[red hawk]

Tenrai costs a ton, and can be crafted

[viscid swift]

crafting it is also expensive

[red hawk]

that's why it's not prio in proto shop

[wind hazel]

it is priority, but after AP guns

[viscid swift]

what

[red hawk]

I was literally told to craft my first one in this channel

[wind hazel]

craft with blueprints

[red hawk]

then I got told differently by someone

[sick kettle]

is it best to spread out gold plates or just try getting 13+ one by one?

[viscid swift]

the reccomendation is usually the one from the prototype shop and one from the gear lab

[wind hazel]

tell that guy fakyu

[red hawk]

because they said I was wrong for buying it fromm proto

[viscid swift]

they were wrong

[red hawk]

oh well, you live and learn

[wind hazel]

well you got trolled

[stark quiver]

[red sapphire]

You can keep everything +10 until you need more, gold plates are slow to gather I think

[rapid summit]

Is this decent for enterprise?

[wind hazel]

it's the best DB on her vs med heavy

[weary edge]

so like, these gold guns r better than the ur guns below it?

[wind hazel]

different usage

the 457 is a mobbing gun

unless you're pilica

[rapid summit]

Okk ty

[stark quiver]

you get to choose

[weary edge]

well right now im on w11 (not because im stuck, but bc im just lazy to progress lol), what gun do you recommend i get first? here's my list of characters for context

[wind hazel]

go from top to bottom, it's that simple

[stark quiver]

what if they already have prexisting ones

[wind hazel]

then they can use their common sense and deduct the amount they have with the needed amount

[weary edge]

which one is the second top one bc they lowk look the same 😭😭 is it the one i have the least bps for 💔💔💔💔

ok on my phone they look a lot different nvm

[atomic solstice]

yup

[weary edge]

i wish i was told this before the monthly reset now i gotta wait till next month to actually craft the gun 😭

[atomic solstice]

90% of this game is realizing how inefficient you've been far too late

[dapper token]

Okay hit me fam is the rerun event worth to pull

[wind hazel]

no, but do event for the gun, it's great

[dapper token]

Kay then

[violet grail]

I just realized I did buy one of each of those top two at start of the month, but never ended up equipping the 380mm mle on anyone.

[short wagon]

do ryusei kai and saiun work the same

[red hawk]

getting excited because you think you got something you wanted coming only to realize you fucked up and claimed the wrong weapon bps

[gilded carbon]

Any of the rerun-ships worth investing in?

[red hawk]

because you didn't spend enough time double checking stuff on the guides and just kinda blindly looked at guns and didn't really make sure to get the right ones

[wind hazel]

same concept, just different damage and timing

[violet grail]

I assume I should put the 380mm mle on my mob fleet BB aka nelson. was running triple 406mm MK6 on her

[wind hazel]

it depends on where you're using her

the AP guns are mainly bossing gun. can use on boss fleet for campaign but usually a bit slow for mob, 457 is preferred if you need AP gun on mob

[weary edge]

the only gun i can craft rn is triple 406/45 mk7 should i NOT craft that

[onyx flame]

it not very good so i wouldnt

[red hawk]

the purple triple 406 is pretty standard for mobbing for awhile

[rapid summit]

Is this decent for bzwei at world 12? I’m starting to focus on gear now

[violet grail]

hmmm, idk Im not pushing to 13 yet until Ive levelled sandy. so I guess any gear improvements right now would be for opsi to try to handle abyssal c5 and c6

[wind hazel]

no it's a shit gun lol

use mk6

[weary edge]

yeah but im talking abt the gold mk7 one not the purple mk6

[rapid summit]

Oh…. Uh The main gun?

[sick kettle]

does the rerun event gear will be Craftable or we still had to wait

[white musk]

You should have the rainboe gun from proto shop by now, no?

[onyx flame]

shop gear iirc

[weary edge]

i currently have the mk6 on both hood and oumi rn lol

[wind hazel]

you have to buy from shop

[rapid summit]

Focusing on mecklenburg gun

[wind hazel]

just check the quick gear guide. if you dont see the gear listed there, it's usually not worth considering

[onyx flame]

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

just make sure to read da disclaimer

[weary edge]

i think at the rate im going im going to have mecklen gun before i even reach any pr4 ship lol

[wind hazel]

[white musk]

Twin 457 isnt research

Its the one you get for free by exhanging the exp crap from handbook.

[weary edge]

i just dev 30 my first pr1 ship, dont have enough tech points for even pr2 ships, and im at like 14/50 for mecklen gun

should i just start developing another pr1 ship for the hell of it in the mean time

i was thinking maybe monarch or ibuki

[wind hazel]

do a filler, get faction tech for series 4 ships

[weary edge]

well im trying for fdg and i alr dev30 roon so 💔

[wind hazel]

azurlaneecgc has a good beeline guide on how to acquire them

both avp and fdg share almost the same tech point

[red hawk]

and agir is only slightly ahead of AVP right

[white musk]

Speedrun anchorage and fdg
Theyre probably the most important to have early game

Avp is a good bosser since she has freeze

[red hawk]

for required fleet tech

[wind hazel]

agir is 700

more or less 2-3 more mlb ships

[red hawk]

avp was 600 iirc?

[weary edge]

yeah i alr finished catch up on fdg, started on anchorage but switched to roon once she got to dev30 for protocores

[white musk]

Just coin them, use the catch up bp for proto shop

[wind hazel]

nah catchup on FDG is fine,

[white musk]

Free rainboe items

[red hawk]

you can always start the combat data collection on another ship you want to build while you're getting fleet tech for another ship too

so, if you can't quite dev the ship you want, just having CDC on another ship going temporarily isn't terrible

I did that with monarch while I worked on IB fleet tech

[weary edge]

y r there no uss ships in pr1 💔 i lowk gonna need the fleet tech for anchorage and kearsarge

oh shit my laundry's done brb

[red hawk]

feels like considering the way the guides go, if you're following most of it, you end up with a fair bit of EU Ships. Enty, Essex, Eldrige, Portland, Penny, Helena, Sandy, even your starter can be EU.

[weary edge]

ig i can dev ibuki while i wait since il proly need jp fleet tech too

[red hawk]

is oumi good enough to warrant awakening her to 125 at some point?

she's currently my most powerful BB

[atomic solstice]

what dr should i go for after fdg? agir?

[gilded carbon]

120 will Work for most content

[red hawk]

that's what I was told to do

FDG->Agir while PR on Anchorage

[violet grail]

I don't see why not, so far after a bit less than a month playing ive got three ships at 125 oumi being one of them and ive got enough cogs to awaken 3 more, but havent decided whom yet, probably hakuhou and san diego once they reach that level. oumi still definetly my strongest ship. I feel like I get enough cogs to not be too too stingy with them.

[red hawk]

because 125 awakening cogs are far less available

[red sapphire]

Should I pull for rerun ships incomming? Do you guys like the stuff there?

[red hawk]

and the extra 5 levels on ships that aren't good isn't going to save them from being bad

not that oumi is bad, I just wonder if she's good enough to be worth rating for end game

over what I might get in the next month or two

[atomic solstice]

yeah

[red hawk]

and I already awakened a bunch of collab ships I liked so I'm really trying to be smart about where I put chips now

because I'm in cog hell

I have 57 chips atm

[violet grail]

sounds like you've been playing for quite a bit longer than me. how would you say the rate of cogs compares to the rate at which you get rainbow bulins? coz if you save your cogs you're basically arguing you won't get enough new cogs in the time it will take you to acquire, mlb and level a better ship.

So far to me it has felt like I've been getting enough cogs to awaken at least twice as many ships compared to how many UR's I could MLB in the same timeframe

[atomic solstice]

looking up my favorite ships on the endgame tierlisr and seeing this makes me so sad lol

[red hawk]

Ive been playing for a couple months, but I'm just at a point where I've started levelling a bunch of ships past 100, and it adds up, plus UR's cost more to awaken an I just did Hakuhou

but you get I believe 2.5 UR bulins a month?

plus any from events/cruise pass rewards

[white musk]

Im a minnow at four months- Usually just buy cruise ship passes

The only thing Im upset about is missing lion by 10ish days ;-;

[red hawk]

I started right before the atelier double collab but after lion

[onyx flame]

its 2.5 if you include cruise pass, 2 is the monthly income from 5k spec from monthly and 3k from the medal shop

[red hawk]

ok I couldn't remember if the 2.5 was with the medal spec cores or cruise pass

it's everything but events counted

[kind needle]

Mog or Traf? Who to mlb first?

[weary edge]

i started like 1.5 weeks before hakuhou event started. is my dev progress saved if i start a different pr project?

[red hawk]

yes

[weary edge]

fire

[red hawk]

so like if you get caught between fleet tech levels and you can't quite get the ship you want, it's totally ok to start on another one temporarily

just like... make it one you'll actually want to use too

monarch is a decent BB for early

[weary edge]

that’s the one i started

[red hawk]

considering we don't get much right away, Ive seen her recommended after her augment for players needing a BB

[weary edge]

bc of hood and uni i should get the xp pretty easily

[red hawk]

just be aware she'll need an augment that'll run 21k gold

[weary edge]

i probably wont build her tbh

[red hawk]

I mean, you'll eventually do them all if you stick around long enough, but yeah, it's fine to just save some progress for later

and not waste the combat XP

[summer niche]

Kitting out Albion. These are my only non-blue fighters, just opened all T3 and up boxes.
Does the AVI stat make Seafang a lot better? Because otherwise the stats are looking lower. Just don't want to dump my books into it unless worth.

[red hawk]

gold seafang is acceptable but not ideal

[rapid shard]

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

[red hawk]

purple F4U corsair is the poverty choice

[rapid shard]

Bottom option isnt specifying seafang tho honestly any 2x 500pb fighter works till you flaps tigers or hornets

[red hawk]

that's why I said acceptable

[hybrid bane]

man i'm trying to maximize output for trying to auto 15-4 and solid start to clear op.siren hard boss always (the one from the middle). But i played the game on auto and without looking guides and thinking that the bunch of gear and bad use of goldplates i did so i really start to get overwhelmed, like got a triple 460mm UR +13 on musashi but i learned that the best was Kai kkkkkk

[stark quiver]

seafang is good

[red hawk]

and no, main stat isn't everything when rating gear, so just looking at gun FP, plane AVI and such isn't the best way to rate it's use

ammo type, bomb loadouts, fire rates, all that stuff can affect use case

which is why just sticking gold weapons everywhere isn't going to necessarily make you improve

and they cost more to improve

[kind needle]

If I'm running Amagi CV, Implac, Nano comp, should I use Fighter + 2 converging or Fighter DB TB on Implac?

[atomic abyss]

if it's possible, you will avoid DB for bossing
so fighter TB TB

[kind needle]

So Flapjack and two Saiuns work, then should I slap amagi cv and nano tenrai Junker TB, Ryusei/Saiun?

[atomic abyss]

they will need to sync, that's the most important thing

[kind needle]

Is it normal to implac to go first by a second even tho amagi cv and nano have beacons?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[kind needle]

Here gears

[atomic abyss]

so you would need to slow impla down

[atomic abyss]

fyi, the cooldown reduction from beacons is not shown here

[kind needle]

Oh... But in battle, implac goes first by a second then amacv and nano launches their airstrike

[atomic abyss]

lets see

[viscid swift]

Implacable wants to be 2nd

among other issues

[kind needle]

Should I adjust my planes...

[sweet delta]

Yes, why put Saiun on the fastest CV who's too fast?

[atomic abyss]

i just checked

impla and nano are synced lol

[sweet delta]

If you meant half a second, not a full second, that's how CVs work . But it's fine because they can begin to reload their next strike even while being blocked for 0.5s

[atomic abyss]

amagi is the one that isnt synced

[atomic abyss]

yes, because it seems like you've been observing incorrectly

fixed

[kind needle]

Imma ditch a junker then

[atomic abyss]

i already made it work

[half magnet]

(cross fleet) is this outdated? I can't find any info ingame/wiki relevant to this

[kind needle]

Thanks for the help

[atomic abyss]

the only thing outdated is hestia being missing
everything else is accurate

a lot of things are never mentioned in game

but it very well does happen
tho it does bring the question, why are you even using repair ships in opsi

[hazy olive]

Is Ryu Lion worth a damn

[atomic abyss]

for end game content? no

she is good, but nothing op

[hazy olive]

I mean I’m still bobbing around with Helena-Portland-Asama

[atomic abyss]

then she would be very useful for a future fleet 2

[half magnet]

thanks, can you tell me where to look for that info if it exists on wiki? or there is none, they just know it from experience/game code

[bold peak]

Question.. if you miss a meta ship event, will she be gone like forever?

[atomic abyss]

it doesnt exist on the wiki as far as im aware

[bold peak]

I thought you can get her anytime from meta shop

[atomic abyss]

added permanently at a later date for the meta showdown and cruise pass ones

if we talking about stuff like bearn or hiei meta who are event SRs

then they should rerun first

[bold peak]

Hoo I see

[half magnet]

i see, thank you

[bold peak]

How about someone like kawakaze, I should just wait her until dossier released?

[atomic abyss]

correct

[bold peak]

Wiki doesn't say a lot about the event and stuff (or i just missed them)

[wanton dawn]

does this timing work with Agir? it should be within 5 seconds right?

[bold peak]

Gotcha, thanks ender

[atomic abyss]

agir slow is a meme

[red sapphire]

Hi, I'm trying to sync this with any slow sup but I think it's a bit too tight... any ideas?

[wanton dawn]

oh why is that lol

[little tree]

Agir wiffs

[atomic abyss]

not consistent because it misses, even with magnetics

the only viable vanguard slower is eldridge retro

[sweet delta]

Especially with mk 35

[wanton dawn]

ohhhh that makes sense🥀 shld just use eldridge then

[sweet delta]

Always has been

[wanton dawn]

ah yea ok thank you:))

[bold peak]

Is agir good with plume umbrella, legit?

[sweet delta]

No

[atomic abyss]

looks fine to me
hard to say anything definitive without knowing what slower you intend to use

[bold peak]

Ok thanks just wondering

[wanton dawn]

just using it for the extra hp lol

[red sapphire]

I plan to get AvP, I have Peter Strasser and Formidable right now. Ark Royal is aviable but I lack of retrofit mats

[sweet delta]

Toolkit beats it in 15 seconds though

[red hawk]

from everything ive been told peter strasser "slow"" or whatever is sketchy af

[wanton dawn]

ohh right i completely forgot abt that:0 tyy

I don't have much to choose right now. May be the Decisive one that slows? Don't know

[sweet delta]

AvP > peter > ark > aegir for CV fleet with TBs

[red sapphire]

What is a TB? I'm still newbie

[robust onyx]

Torpedo bomber

[rain vine]

torp bomber

[red sapphire]

Oh okay thanks

[sweet delta]

The converging TBs

[red sapphire]

So, should I use Peter until AvP?

[sweet delta]

Yes just make her strike last

[red sapphire]

After Shinano?

On my case I mean

[robust onyx]

As in 3rd to lunch

[red sapphire]

Alright

Thanks so much chat

[desert cove]

is the slaimuda github tier list a good representation of the equipment for ships

[sweet delta]

it represents gear that is least likely to be bad. Which effectively means that the gear isn't optimized for specific hard content

[desert cove]

wym hard content

[sweet delta]

i mean that if you play hard content, then you need to minmax a bit more than copying the top row of gear there

[desert cove]

ah ok

[sweet delta]

like for the armor type of the boss, this is a starter guide
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

[desert cove]

ah yeah

ig you need to take those into consideration if ur minamxing

[rose whale]

Seems like we won't get a new banner anytime soon?

[desert cove]

im fine with that

should i use action recharges willy nilly or should i hoard em

[desert cove]

in opsi can u make the red port functional

oh that sucks

[atomic solstice]

should I get fdg to fs5 before starting getting agir to dev30?

[red hawk]

you only get the daily discount for a set number of uses a day, so if you're using them on FDG, it's going to make it so that Agir will cost more to coin up

[strange sphinx]

how many run do I need to do in 12-4 in theory to get hestia?

[forest palm]

it improves Fred, but she doesn't need F5, so you can just go for Agir

[red hawk]

it depends if you're using her or not

I've been getting like 15 or so trust a sortie

without hestia in combat

[forest palm]

it's gonna be 100 runs w/o which is nothing really

[primal blade]

Is Hakuhou good? It feels like she does wet napkin damage compared to Shinano

(Both are not MLB yet, I'm testing them out together)

[forest palm]

well that's your problem, you're using two URs that aren't MLB and missing a majority of the damage

nothing of what you test with Non-MLB ships will mean anything

[stone sluice]

She is good

[robust steeple]

can someone link me a good meowofficer guide? pls

[tidal fractal]

could someone help me with 15-4 i cant 3 star it

[sweet delta]

Did you get it to safe threat level before three star?

[tidal fractal]

ah well no not really i cant even clear lol i keep dying after the 2nd boss

[flat fractal]

generally when trying to level ships, does having it in the mob fleet give more exp overall per stage clear? on 12-4 if that matters

[sweet delta]

if you can't even clear it then why are you thinking about 3 star

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15/

[tidal fractal]

😔ur right i always try to clear all mobs first

[sweet delta]

there are 6 mob battles and only 1 boss battle, so mob fleet gets a lot more exp

[flat fractal]

gotcha thanks! i didnt know if they tried to balance it by making boss fights give a lot more or smtin

[tidal fractal]

ty

[last zenith]

what is the fastest way to get Prototype Cores

I need musashi gun on mini

[rose whale]

Seems like we won't get a new banner anytime soon?

[primal blade]

What if they are both MLB, good?

[atomic solstice]

hakuhou much better if both mlb

[primal blade]

Or should I run Enterprise Essex instead

[vague oracle]

Did not know plymouth is research blueprints only

[red hawk]

isnt everything above PR4 not coinable

[ivory pawn]

PR5 golds are coinable.

Ply + Brest + PR6 and higher are not.

[ivory pawn]

Rerun banner next week with Fool’s Scales rerun.

After that who knows.

[rose whale]

Oh nice, finally I have chance to get clem. She is the only banner ship i missed. Thanks

[viscid swift]

probably a Tempesta event

[red hawk]

is the fools scale event gear gun one of the named guns?

the triple 152 MLE

found it, it's Marseillaes

[forest palm]

I remember it being good if you don't have a Quad

[grave mantle]

Tier list shows it as the second best gun, just after quad

[hazy olive]

Should I get Tashkent or Chapayev gun from core shop or neither?

[viscid swift]

no

[vale spindle]

Neither unless you are using a ship that specifically requires it in their skills

[red hawk]

its put on the same tier as 155 kai

[stark quiver]

mle good

i used to use it a lot

[junior dragon]

is there a reason this gun is flagged as 'important'

[sweet delta]

the devs said so. But the gun is good for Gangut (who is bad)

[junior dragon]

Ahh I was just cleaning my Depot and wasnt sure why it was hidden from th disaembly xd

[waxen valley]

unzen when

[eternal basalt]

Probably early next month

[celest tartan]

ryu lion's event thing says "a new event mission will unlock everyday until..." yet does not specify what the event mission is and clicking go only takes you to the sortie page, not any specific mission. what are the missions?

[sweet delta]

kill 100 enemies]

you can check the bottom of the rewards list. The rewards list is in the poorly named Claim button

[celest tartan]

thanks, is there a level that is most efficient for this? like can i clear 4-1 twice in the same time it takes to clear 12-1 once making it more efficient?

[sweet delta]

I wouldn't care about efficiency, since just playing the game a little gives you enough already

[sweet delta]

*not 100 per day, it increases. Total is 1500 enemies over 7 days and im already at 4000

[vital meadow]

what's the best UR gun to make from gear lab?

i have an extra 18 main gun thingy so i can make 2 UR main guns

[rain bobcat]

/gearlab

[odd root]

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

[sweet delta]

arent there only 2 choices, 100 kai and mk7

[viscid swift]

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

[knotty jolt]

Georgia gun twin 457 also

and drake gun now that look

[sweet delta]

they dont use UR main gun thingies

[knotty jolt]

I mean i just skimmed and saw they asked ur gun didn't notice much on the second message

[gritty spear]

It is impossible to improve her satisfaction, so as I understand it, I should just ignore it? After all, she is a recruit, not the final Hestia. By the way, is there any way to differentiate between research tiers in the Research Academy? Because the game has taken up some truly wonderful trolling. It noticed that I was only five blueprints short of the 152 mm gun from Seattle, so now Tier II doesn't appear in my research at all. By this, I can't already get this gun, because I buy every blueprint from prototype shop. I must get five lacking from Research Academy.

[subtle flare]

iirc its this

[sweet delta]

season 1 to 4 projects don't appear unless you focus or no focus them, and that's for good reason because those projeects are horrible

Seattle gun also isn't worth griefing your research projects for a few days for

neither was it worth buying with protocore

[subtle flare]

will the clemenceau rerun event ships be added to permanent pool 2 years after the rerun?

[viscid swift]

around 9 months to a year after they rerun is the usual timeline

[subtle flare]

am recovering my cube stock, ik best practice is to only pull on collab banners that probably never come back

[gritty spear]

And what about this Hestia? Should I ignore that it's affinity is dropping down?

[subtle flare]

thats not affinity, thats morale, and youll be notified before entering combat if she's going to lose affinity

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Affinity

[gritty spear]

But can morale be increased somehow? Because this temporary Hestia cannot be put in the dormitory or anything.

[subtle flare]

i dont think so, if she can't be dormed

[viscid swift]

morale recovers naturally at 10/hour

[flint frigate]

What do i get from completing the skin projection of kearsage on lab shipyard?

[ivory pawn]

The ability to set her in your secretary list twice, so you can display more of her skins.

[broken anchor]

Which UR should I get from the light exchange?

[soft raft]

Shinano until she is MLB > Vanguard > everyone else
Also that's just called Perma Pity, it's not split between the three perma pools

[broken anchor]

Of the four unobtained

[soft raft]

Vanguard > Everyone else

[median prism]

Is Neptune good?

[soft raft]

Very whatever by today's standards

[median prism]

How abt Roon

[weary gust]

Roon is kinda okay to get early just because she's tech for FDG, but even FDG is pretty ehh by today's standards with perma UR pity.

[median prism]

I just got neptune i was thinking of roon next

I can only research PR1 rn

[knotty jolt]

i'd focus on a different ship

[sweet delta]

ships aren't useful when they're not max stars

[silent hearth]

so do you just set the strategic search to search the same C1 zone over and over to find Akashi? Any specific zone you would recommend?

[rain vine]

yes, doesnt matter which zone it is, just that its a c1 zone

[silent hearth]

awesome, im going to use this to grind a few low levels upto 70 too XD

[jolly condor]

Is regensburg worth using with Bismarck

[soft raft]

no not really

[pallid wind]

I just started playing for the collab but I legit can’t beat any of the level in Chapter 3 for the trust points… any suggestions, I read the guide on like starter characters already from the guild

[soft raft]

jesus christ why are you using a bullin in actual combat
Hestia and Repulse also just suck

[viscid swift]

didn't read it clearly enough consideirng you're using a bullin of all things instead if your starter

[soft raft]

where did your starter DD go 💀

and Pennsylvania

[stark quiver]

where does york drop

[pallid wind]

bro i learned about the guide abit late so i used all my exp token on random aah ships 😭 my penn is level 10

[viscid swift]

wiki

[pallid wind]

ARE U SERIOUS

[viscid swift]

he is

[hushed sorrel]

bulin ships are more of a resource than a ship since you use them as material for limit breaking ships

[stark quiver]

drops in wiki

[jolly condor]

[pallid wind]

see that makes more sense i used her to limit break herself 💀

So who do I even do to get points for the colllab

[jolly condor]

Use ryu she’s probably the best ship you have rn

[hushed sorrel]

for starter in chapter 3 you can use only 1 fleet. that makes it far easier to manage your equip and coins

[gritty flint]

This is my first fleet comp

[viscid swift]

it's bad

[gritty flint]

I know I just run it cause it has bis and zeppelin in it

[viscid swift]

ok then, do you have a question or something though?

[gritty flint]

I mean are their iron blood destroyers or cruisers better than what I hav cause the back lin is staying how it is

[viscid swift]

yes, plenty

Z23 retrofit would be the obvious if not biggest upgrade

just about any of the SR cruisers would be better

[soft raft]

everyone pictured there is bottom of the barrel levels of whatever
Graf Zep is the only one there that's somewhat decent but that's a pretty low bar in this case

And you prob dont have her unique aug

[median prism]

How is this setup

[viscid swift]

that's about standard for your starter fleet

[hushed sorrel]

another good ship for you is laffey, your start ship. put her also in your main fleet

[median prism]

Also i have 3 UR bulins who shld i use em on

I have NJ and Hakuhou

[soft raft]

come back and ask that question when you have 4 total
esp cuz Unzen rerun is likely sometime within the year and it's highly likely we're getting a new one in December

And it could also be a double UR event like Hakuhou's was

[pallid wind]

thanks to u i finally beat a level 😭

[viscid swift]

Hakuhou but hold off until you get a 4th before using them

[median prism]

I was thinking of getting shinano and using em on her...

[viscid swift]

don't

limit breaking Shinano using dupes you get from pity

[soft raft]

Hakuhou also handily beats out Shinano in terms of damage

[median prism]

Is Unzen or Hakuhou more useful tho...

[late flame]

they fill different roles

[gritty flint]

I do have a question about blueprints when can I start crafting gold and rainbow tier blueprints cause I got like 3 rainbows

[sweet delta]

what blueprints, there are so many types of blueprints

[median prism]

Which is a higher priority in ur opinion

[gritty flint]

The gear blueprints

[soft raft]

gold equips take 25 BPs to create (But some are lower)
UR ones cost 50

[gritty flint]

@soft raft ok thanks

[late flame]

unzen (vanguard/front row)
hakuhou (main fleet/back row)
-for a new player i'd say neither are high prio simply because of lack of resources in terms of UR bulins / gold / equipment

[vocal niche]

will a rerun event add new ships?

[late flame]

of course if i had to choose i'd take hakuhou since most of your fleet damage comes from mainfleet

[slow fox]

-# ~~From purely a formulaic fleet building perspective, I think it looks pretty good ~~
-# ~~eHP of vanguard is in order ~~
-# ~~Mainfleet has high level BB flag ~~

[viscid swift]

no

[late flame]

usually no but in the case of collab sometimes yes

[viscid swift]

also when you say rerun, I hear 3500 cog chips

[pallid wind]

how are we supposed to limit break golden like ships like ryu

[viscid swift]

with SR bullins

[pallid wind]

SR ?

[viscid swift]

gold

[pallid wind]

ooo gold bullins can i only get that through challenge milestones

[viscid swift]

you can also get those form the medal shop(2), merit shop, and some event mission rewards

and 1 from monthly login

[midnight bluff]

For the memories, if a ship is already max enhanced, how would i complete the mission to unlock the subsequent ones

[late flame]

enhance another ship

[viscid swift]

what

[midnight bluff]

Oh any ship works?

[late flame]

yes. assuming you mean the secretary quest missions

[soft raft]

the last time they did outside of the collab reruns that was August 19th 2021 with Microlayer Medley rerun prior to the shift to the current rerun format

[midnight bluff]

ya those

[viscid swift]

frankly it was a good change that they stopped that

[atomic solstice]

wow unicorn can really drag any fuckass vanguard through world 12

lvl 70 emden be chilling

[red hawk]

yeah I've done lower than level 70 on 12

especially when I was levelling eldridge too

[atomic solstice]

trying to finish the exp mission for agir got me scraping the bottom of my kms vanguard barrel

[red hawk]

another good way to get them in the range there is just to grind C1

you can do it with some pretty crap ships to pump xp

[atomic solstice]

event stage?

[red hawk]

Operation Siren corrupted zone

[atomic solstice]

oh yeah

[red hawk]

it's low Xp, but if you have the excess AP you can sit there and grind it

[atomic solstice]

and no morale loss, thats an interesting idea

[red hawk]

and it adds up over time, I got all my CDC for FDG in opsi C1

[late flame]

only downside is no affinity gain

[broken pier]

can anyone help me build a fleet here?

[viscid swift]

fleet for what content

[broken pier]

Opsi

[red hawk]

6% stat boost without oath isn't exactly gamebreaking when you're just levelling fodder for fleet tech

or I should say, lack of the 6% stat boost without oath from affinity

[late flame]

it is not, what i mean is i usually grind affinity to oath the ships used in levelling*

[viscid swift]

can you get anymore UR Bullins

[red hawk]

oh yeah, if you're oathing ships that's totally different.

and you still eventually have to do normal stages too, for chips/gold

[atomic solstice]

i got enough promise rings to bling out all my fingers

none for my ships tho

[red hawk]

I've only oathed ships for skins

and only with free rings

[median prism]

I alr got enterprise, oumi and unicorn there is it worth changing em out?

[late flame]

oumi is a battleship so different role
unicorn (if you have her retrofit) is best healer period, also different role compared to hakuhou
enterprise would be the one you'd eventually replace once you are able to fully limit break hakuhou

[tacit mortar]

guys, will my maxed out sub still benifit from a improved storage battery?

[red hawk]

do I bother coining roon fs5 if I don't plan on using her anytime soon

or do I just go straight to anchorage coining

[atomic solstice]

do anchorage

[uncut ocean]

Question: What is highest Operation Level in opsi? Does it top out at 6 I've been here a while

[rain bobcat]

corrosion? 7 for arbiter 6 normal zone

[sweet delta]

There are 5 hunting range levels, so battery works. But it's bad for anything but farming with subs on auto

[round hare]

What are some Sardegna Empire Vanguard worth investing in? Needed for Combat Data Collection

[sweet delta]

What do you have

Because the only strong ship for endgame is, well, Napoli . So you just pick whoever has good level 120 tech to get

[round hare]

Gotcha thank you :)

[dark hazel]

7

[junior pasture]

Is hestia a good ship to use once permanently obtained

[late flame]

no

[quiet kiln]

In w13 should san diego be in the mob or boss fleet?

[viscid swift]

Probably the boss fleet

[quiet kiln]

I should probably mlb guam for the other fleet

[soft raft]

You can do W13 just fine without her (Esp considering Guam is only like 1 1/3rd years old, long after W13 came out
but yeah she would be very helpful

[safe nexus]

anyone able to helkp with my fleet here? i want to send my fleet gears for help

[knotty jolt]

Create a thread people will help ya there usually fairly quickly

[safe nexus]

ok ty, just making sure they are not offline

My fleet for 12-1 exp grind

[exotic wren]

My team building knowledge is stuck in 2023 help

[solar lily]

is this thing decent

[stark quiver]

its good

[steel swift]

How can I use coins when increasing development level?

[rain vine]

press the plus button

[steel swift]

No, I mean when I don't have my shipgirl fragment

[rain vine]

that doesnt change my answer

[rain bobcat]

[steel swift]

See, this one uses blueprints while Mainz uses coins, that's what I mean.

[rain bobcat]

because plymouth is not coinable

[steel swift]

Ah, okay

[rain vine]

if theres a coin icon there, then its coinable

[steel swift]

I thought all PR and DR ships were the same

[rain bobcat]

no

[steel swift]

Okay then, thanks

[jolly condor]

Should I use Perseus

[onyx flame]

if you already have unicorn up, no real need

[grave mantle]

Who is better for enemy stop: Strasser or August?

[atomic abyss]

fate sim 5 august

[atomic abyss]

no, unicorn retro is better

[idle perch]

[robust nymph]

how strong is le hardi? can be used for ch14?

[atomic abyss]

3rd link

[idle perch]

Ty

[atomic abyss]

okay, not recommended for 14

im sure you can use her though

can being the heavy lifting word

[robust nymph]

since i got back every event has been a carrier or a main fleet ship so i dont have many vanguards

[atomic abyss]

well that's what your research options are for

if you "dont have many vanguards"

[robust nymph]

yeah im getting there slowly but surely

[atomic abyss]

you shouldnt bother with w14

w14 is noticeably harder than w13

[spark patio]

which should i use this on?

[atomic abyss]

no one

it has its uses for AA stat padding in hard mode, or repair ships if you're using them for some reason

but it's not something for normal use

[solar lily]

like level 125 hypermaxed omega buffed san diego or something idk

[spark patio]

is this good for poverty sandy?

[solar lily]

change the 155 to the japanese 100mm

[zenith heron]

Go DD Guns

[spark patio]

this gold?

[solar lily]

ye

[spark patio]

how about this?

idk how good it was lel

[solar lily]

still the 100mm tbh

[zenith heron]

2 of this DD guns as long as they are gold are the staple decent guns to use

[rapid shard]

Even on a super sandy the AA radar is not worth it. Other auxs will serve you much better. Only semi niche i found was for using it on safe level 13-4 auto farming with her carrying 2 ships with bad AA

[solar lily]

o dang

[rapid shard]

Even then a EVA aux is better

There is a niche Musashi fleet comp where she uses it tho (Musashi not sandy)

[solar lily]

neat

[zenith heron]

||I believe that's the no Air Support World 15 fleet that you are talking about||

[jagged harness]

Quick question
How good based on your experience using USS Anchorage?

[rapid shard]

||Sandy with 800 base AA stat with both skills lv10 one taps literally anything that dares fly by tho. Total meme||

[rapid shard]

Very solid tank that can hold you over to end game till you get other super tanks

[zenith heron]

One of the good tanks in the game, literally a timed invulnerable for herself, typical smokescreen and above average eHP for a Super Tank

[rapid shard]

Yeah im pretty sure that was it. I asked bout the gold radar other day and those was only 2 reasons to ever use it

[jagged harness]

Ahh I see, thanks Im just thinking how good Anchorage will be hahah

[onyx flame]

just know that she doesnt do a lot of dmg

[rapid shard]

Total meme setup if you want her to completely carry 2 other mid tier ships in 13-4 auto. ||somehow steals MVP from Uni with wyverns consistently||

[solar lily]

i fear what typa AA rating this sandy has

[solar lily]

a timed WHAT

[zenith heron]

||For a Retrofit unit, not only has the highest AA stat in the game, but also Above average consistent damage when using a DD gun, followed by Good ASW, she deserves that win...||

[rapid shard]

756 before her skills buff it lol

[solar lily]

damn have i been sleeping on anchorage all this time

[atomic abyss]

she is literally one of the best tanks in the game

so yes

[rapid shard]

Requires either a specific blue or purple fast torp to proc

[zenith heron]

based on how fast your torps fire, she gets a few seconds of 100% invulnerabilty for her self

[solar lily]

and what are those

[onyx flame]

the iris torps

[solar lily]

o

[rapid shard]

These or the blue ones that you use to craft these

[onyx flame]

either

[solar lily]

mmm, neat

[rapid shard]

Properly setup only a couple of rainbows beat her as main tank and thats just because she doesnt deal much dmg

[solar lily]

those rainbows being?

[atomic abyss]

agir, napoli

laff2 if her luck is good

[solar lily]

uh huh

[strange sphinx]

is there a specific torp for Ply or regular Quadruple for gold?

[atomic abyss]

no specific torp for ply

[solar lily]

i gotta work on my EU tech points ngl

[wispy cosmos]

which secrets have rerun

[rapid shard]

Getting EU up to Anchorage is enough when starting none of the other EU ones past her are really worth it in the beginning

[spark patio]

so the gold one is the best options for DDs and CLs?

[rapid shard]

Not necessarily. Z46 gun is a bit better for dmg. Sandy like the extra AA off the twin100s

[solar lily]

i have a disproportionate amount of RN and IB tech points compared to everything else

[rapid shard]

Twin 127mm i think is a bit better overall than the twin 100 but could be wrong

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm what's the points for ryu? Same with hestia in campaign or different? (Didn't read)

[rapid shard]

If you can get Agir then you can skip Anchorage for the moment both can be coined

[atomic abyss]

different uses, i would treat them as equal

[spark patio]

so the 100mm one will for sandy and the 127mm one will for javelin laffey eldridge, etc?

[solar lily]

actually did agir first lol

[rapid shard]

I just double checked the 127 have +5FP -5AA compared to 100s

[solar lily]

currently doing Hindenburg atm (if only because i find her hot)

[atomic abyss]

did you miss the fact that the rofs and damage are different

[strange sphinx]

can I focus on Pr7 for La9? (Don't havw one yet) or bull head in PR8?

[autumn cedar]

are these gears good enough for Hakuhou, or are there any alternatives?

[atomic abyss]

good enough assuming it syncs

[rapid shard]

Yeah .5 sec diff with 100mm being faster

[atomic abyss]

hence why i said different uses

in practice the gold 127 is worse than the purple 120 anyways

[solar lily]

any DDs that would benefit the gear lab gold german 128mm?

[atomic abyss]

it's better than the gold 127 and gold 100

[rapid shard]

Talking about the twin 128? Z46 gun?

[spark patio]

which should i use for my DDs then?

[atomic abyss]

a relatively cheap gold DD gun that can serve as a place holder

[solar lily]

ye

the gold 128

[atomic abyss]

purple twin 120s and gold 100s

[rapid shard]

Like ender said above cheap easy to make that will hold you over till better options appear

[atomic abyss]

purple 128 is shit, purple twin 127 is shit

[rapid shard]

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

Full DD gun list with pictures lol

[solar lily]

im assuming those "better options" are the Mogador gun and rainbow 100mm

[rapid shard]

Basically. Z46 is cheapest to make and others in same "tier" aint massive upgrades to justify cost

[solar lily]

i see

[spark patio]

better now?

[rapid shard]

Also pay attention the text above that for which ships want the blue 76 gun.

[rapid shard]

Id +10 the gun if you can but looks fine for time being till you get better AA guns

[spark patio]

I ran out of FP plates

[spark patio]

which one better than it?

[rapid shard]

Give her that gold roomba

[solar lily]

the gold roomba is a good starting point

[rapid shard]

And if your using a BB give them the haze maker

[solar lily]

generally speaking, hazemeyer/STAAG (or that rainbow 76 AA) for BBs, everything else for ur other ships

[rapid shard]

Torp based dmg ships benefit from the hit stat boost staggs and Hazes give as well

[solar lily]

ooo

never knew that

[spark patio]

what is gold romma

the round one?

[rapid shard]

Twin 113. The dinner plate looking one

[spark patio]

eldridge good now?

[rapid shard]

Yeah good enough till you getter gear. My basic ass eldridge build for example. Dont have any spare gold HP auxs

Also no general plates lol

[spark patio]

should i rob a gold aa gun from CAs and give her?

[solar lily]

ye

trust

[spark patio]

which one lel

[rapid shard]

Or just throw a purple roomba that you have for time being

[solar lily]

almost forgot the purple roomba exists

[spark patio]

so purple rooma?

[hollow gust]

Why is my 101 so mid

[rapid shard]

Yeah purple roomba will be just fine till you get gold ones

The ships with those gold AAs need the additional stat bonus they getting lol

[spark patio]

those gears good for zenker?

[solar lily]

its good enuff

also do try making augments for ur ships

and upgrade them skills

[onyx flame]

i rather run the fire control than black shell

[rapid shard]

White black is standard until you get gold towers

Aux gun could be better tho not sure what your options are but just cross check the guide I linked earlier

[spark patio]

the gold one? i dont have it

[hollow gust]

Aux gun is fine for early game , it's still the best purple aux

[rapid shard]

Stick to white and black till then

[rapid shard]

I thought the purple twin 128 was better poverty aux gun?

[solar lily]

gold tower is the uhh fcs thingy?

[rapid shard]

For DD aux gun that is

[spark patio]

the guide said the right one better, should i change it?

[atomic abyss]

right is only strictly better as a stat stick in terms of BBs

if you're lacking main gun options for CLs, the 155 will be a better interim than the 152

[solar lily]

20 more fp is pretty good tbf

[rapid shard]

Not if it handicaps your other ships that could benefit from that gun more

[spark patio]

my CLs use those

[rapid shard]

This is gold tower BTW

[spark patio]

which should i use for my BB as i use those for my CLs?

[spark patio]

one more piece lol

[onyx flame]

i mean the purple twin 152 works fine enuf for poverty bb secondary

[rapid shard]

You should be fine as is for now. Wouldn't stress swapping now. Especially since you cant +10 it right away to get the stat bonus

[safe nexus]

used like 1k AP, im not really getting positive AP from C1 grind, doesn't seem to be working ngl

[rapid shard]

Its RNG on the scam cat appearing.

[safe nexus]

😭

[rapid shard]

Do you have it set to stop when she appears?

[safe nexus]

ye

i bought before, just she seems to be very rare sometimes so im not getting profit thx to those very rare moments

[rapid shard]

Yeah thats just unlucky run man.

You have finished all the other zones before C1 spamming tho right?

And do save some AP boxes cause new stronghold pops up each week and thats 200ap

[solar lily]

wait is it actually better than the white/black shells

[rapid shard]

Yes standard loadout is gold tower paired with white for 99% of BBs

Black is just kind of a sub/next best till then

[solar lily]

o

[onyx flame]

when will the day come where we can get the rainbow table

[rapid shard]

When they add it to shop or event reruns. Pretty sure its already reran so waiting for shop addition

[solar lily]

rainbow table is which?

admiralty fcs or

[onyx flame]

yea that

[hollow gust]

[strange sphinx]

grey is questioning something

[hollow gust]

You realize hsfcr has to do more with timing than anything right?

[strange sphinx]

oh yeah, how niche is the Royal navy Ap round? /10

[rapid shard]

Im following suchis guide on that and I played around with NJ with both combos and got consistently higher dmg runs with tower/white over black/white

[harsh drum]

That's niche? I thought that was an auto include for any HMS BB

Since it functions as a better white shell

[hollow gust]

Maybe it's cause the timing from hsfcr allows extra shots

[strange sphinx]

he meant the t pose tower

[hollow gust]

You realize that won't really be applicable for all context, you are trading FP/crit rate for hit and speed boost

[rapid shard]

Yeah and if they asking for setups trying to time salvos is probably something they cant manage gear wise yet and overall will be easier and more beneficial

[hollow gust]

Idk why you are treating it as a direct improvement for most content

[solar lily]

niche as in its only used by RN BBs and nothing else ig

[harsh drum]

Well, true. Can't argue against that

[hollow gust]

As for the yellow pencil shell its sidegrade to downgrade for even royals , there is absolutely no reason for you to ever buy it

[rapid shard]

Didn't say it was direct improvement just the standard reccomened loadout majority of the time. When you start getting it syncing and timing salvos with buffs and airstrikes then you use other gear

[rain bobcat]

I recommend starting at 1500 AP

ideally the repeat strat is
start 1500
get net positive AP
spend all ap until back to 1500 on C3

repeat

[solar lily]

concerning t-pose tower vs big black shell, it did manage to bump my Lion's total power by 30 compared to the shell, and i like seeing numbers go up so

probably wont matter much considering i havent touched the campaign in 500 years

[hollow gust]

None of that is applicable for someone who is going through campaign, they most likely won't even get the extra salvo out

[rain bobcat]

hpfcr is better because it allows you to clear things swiftly

[safe nexus]

i do have that amount AP and used almost that amount now

[rain bobcat]

uni and ur other CV ideally launches before the BB then the BB straight up insta clears the next wave ideally

its a timing thing even outside of bosses

[hollow gust]

[rain bobcat]

what

[hollow gust]

In what world are non partial/preloaded CVs faster then BBs

[solar lily]

can i js replace the starter DDs with anything (i gotta let my level 115 nimi rest fr)

[rain bobcat]

wait I think I was thinking about the 2nd salvo

wtv same thing uni preload > bb salvo> cv > uni again> bb again

[rapid shard]

^^ gold tower enables that giving space before second CV launch

[hollow gust]

[rapid shard]

Running white/black on triple 406mk6 especially on a newer player with low tech would have BB and second cv firing at same time wasting one or the others salvo/strike

[hollow gust]

That literally makes no sense , have you look at the rld speed of ships

CVs for early game players are snails

0 tech vs full tech is over 40 rld points

The diff for BBs is under 20

[atomic abyss]

not only that

shitty planes too

[rain bobcat]

didnt the convo shift into why fpfcr is standard over black over time not just early

[rapid shard]

BBs for newer players are snails too...

[rain bobcat]

idk might've misread since I only skimmed

[rain bobcat]

CV reload is a massive difference btw

its like 4s time difference for CVs

BB you can get similar load time with only 5 tech rld

and ur only realistically losing time on META fights by 1s load time

[rapid shard]

I understand that. Im currently raising blues and white CVs to boost my rld tech currently.
