[eternal moth]

Technically it's affinity in this game; I think other similar games use affection

[rain bobcat]

isnt this the same guy that didn't like aggression from helpers yet becomes a prick when corrected in a civil manner

[viscid swift]

It's just buggy af, poorly designed and doesn't give me much of anything related to the main gameplay loop in the first place from what I've seen

[weary edge]

who even is u bruh

[wind hazel]

buddy why you have to bring that up, topic is already over

[weary edge]

like y u tryna start shit up again we alr passed that

if u gotta problem then dm me or block me

[eternal moth]

Anyway, I'm going to bed. Hopefully we get a post about Queen Anne's Revenge soon.

[weary edge]

that hasnt been confirmed yet tho right

ive been hearing stuff abt how she might be a ur

[late flame]

nothing is confirmed at this point

[wind hazel]

unlikely UR

[eternal moth]

If it's anyone else I'll be VERY surprised.

[late flame]

pirate bulin

[weary edge]

i mean yeah it does seem hella likely

[eternal moth]

Apparently that thing about revenge is also from a poem about Black Bart, her captain.

[weary edge]

u mean black beard? or is there actually a guy named black bart

[eternal moth]

Wait, yeah, blackbeard. Black Bart was Royal Fortune's captain.

[weary edge]

@wind hazel btw my fault for earlier i lowk had a bad day das my fault for bein a dick

[eternal moth]

Black Bart (Bartholomew) Roberts

[stark quiver]

f2p players get 4000+ gems and more per year, which is enough for many rings

[weary edge]

wait da? that seems like a lot more then normal

[eternal moth]

4000+ gems per year? What?

[stark quiver]

i maen 4000+ base

[weary edge]

that still seems exaggerated

[eternal moth]

Yeah, and they're better off spending those on dock space

[stark quiver]

how?

[weary edge]

the grind never ends 💔

[weary edge]

bc im still broke 😭 😭

[rapid shard]

Eh not really. I average around 50-75ish a week from commissions alone

[weary edge]

what duh hell

[wind hazel]

now this is exaggerating

[weary edge]

bro i rarely get a gem commission once a week how u getting 50-75 a week

[viscid swift]

I would be surprised if I averaged that a month

[weary edge]

fr

[rain bobcat]

thats very exaggerated

[sweet delta]

24/7 c1 grinders don't want you to know this one simple trick

[sharp socket]

this man is lying i got a total of 531 gems from commissions over 1.5+ years of playing

[forest palm]

are we here to take the piss

[late flame]

eww c1

[rapid shard]

I usually get 4-5 pop up each week. Might just been luck on end tho

[rain bobcat]

I would be lucky to get 20 a week

[weary edge]

you've been keeping count? 😭

[stark quiver]

ive won more than i have lost
but thats because i get really gem comms

[viscid swift]

Over how long exactly

One or 2 good weeks is hardly an average

Shad up Mr 1200 gems winner

[stark quiver]

1500

[weary edge]

who tryna buy me gems 💔 (im in dire need of dock space)

[sharp socket]

of course

[weary edge]

i think i got like a gem commission maybe twice or thrice since i started playing almost 2 months ago

[sharp socket]

as a true f2p player i keep track of all my gems

[rain bobcat]

push w12 convert all gems to dock its that shrimple

[weary edge]

https://tenor.com/view/it's-not-as-shrimple-as-you-think-shrimple-meme-shrimp-meme-shrimp-gif-1921944168216252712

[weary edge]

im lowk finishing up on 11-4 so ill proly do w12 tmr

[sharp socket]

mods get his ass

[weary edge]

snitches get stitches bro 💔

[rain bobcat]

if ur not atleast 300+ dock by w12 you've been wasting

[weary edge]

the lion wastes his gems on shop refreshes

i proly should spend some of my gems rn on dock space

i also hear that like all the pirate ships r lowk kinda buns so hopefully queen anne will be somewhat decent 🙏 🙏

[silent hearth]

yall act like gems are expensive in the shop. im sure i buy far more then most, but even just buying a few hundred a month would only cost you like $5

[rain bobcat]

a single skin on avg is $20

[silent hearth]

i didnt say anything about skins lol >.> buying skins (purely cosmetic) dont help you in the game. rather that can be...distracting...

[weary edge]

i lowk would spend money if my father didnt analyse every single transaction i make. i dont even know how he has access to my bank account. but i dont want him seeing transactions on this game and him thinking “huh what’s azur lane” and searching it up and thinking im a pedophile or sum shit

big brother is watching ahh

but yeah im sitting at like 246 dock space and im at w12 rn

[pseudo ether]

money saver

[weary edge]

so i really need to start expanding

[silent hearth]

sweet baby jesus. you poor guy.

[weary edge]

like ill spend 20 bucks on a game that i never spent money on in like the 7 years ive been playing it and he’ll be on my dick about it going all like “stop wasting your money on stupid shit” like bro leave me alone im an adult 😭😭

like am i the unreasonable one here

it’s not like im spending hundreds of dollars in one transaction

he’ll give me shit for like a 5 dollar purchase

[pseudo ether]

i'd crashout too if people are getting nosey on where i spend my hardworked money on

[silent hearth]

Step 1. go to walmart
Step 2. buy a google play card
Step 3. ???
Step 4. Profit.

[pseudo ether]

sounds like a good time to make a separate bank account tho

[weary edge]

it IS a separate bank account idk how he has my account details 😭😭😭

[silent hearth]

look man you got bigger issues then spending money on a game lol.

[weary edge]

even the tellers were like “yeah ur not supposed to let anyone have access to that”

[pseudo ether]

bet you'll get questioned for buying gift cards too lol

[weary edge]

man fuck gameplay help i need financial help 😭

[weary edge]

it’s funny bc i used to do that and HE STILL FOUND OUT

like bro im using CASH how r u tracing ts

[pseudo ether]

you're actually cooked 🥀

[weary edge]

like dont u have more important things that require ur attention 😭😭😭

[silent hearth]

the transaction would just show up as walmart. he could just tell his dad he bought anal lube, im positive that would shut his dad up. little would he know it was actually spending money on a gooner game!

[weary edge]

u know at that point id proly rather just tell him its a giftcard 😭😭

[silent hearth]

hahahahaha

[weary edge]

ok time for me to knock i lowk got hella studying to do tmr

oh and uh w12 grinding too

[silent hearth]

lol good night. study hard little bro, gotta get a good job to spend money on your waifus.

[weary edge]

yo lockheed hmu 🙏✌️✌️

i aint even wanna do it for the money im da js evil

[grim aurora]

at what level can i see skins in the shop?

[visual iron]

is there a better way to get rid of Lv120 ships i raised for fleet tech or just retire them

[rain bobcat]

just retiring

[late flame]

better way is buying dock space but yeah retiring is the only other option

[silk sphinx]

You can try something like wise

It’ll give you another debit card you can connect to your main bank account, but sincerely you’re not supposed to be purchasing stuff if you’re not financially secure or spending other peoples money

That said if it’s your own money and you’re an adult then ignore everything I said and go for it

If of course you’re sure about actually wanting to spend ofc

[grim aurora]

how does affinity work? i’m reading that at 200 they gain 12% something buff and below that 9%? should i wait til 200 affinity to oath?

[fair lance]

100 affinity is the cap before oathing is 6% to all stats except speed. To go over 100 you need to oath which knocks you up to 9% and then 12% at 200 affinity.

[late flame]

^ basically you will not be able to go above 100 affnity before oath
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Affinity

[grim aurora]

thanks

[shadow yarrow]

What does rossiya aug add to lod obstrel barrage

[hollow gust]

Tf when did she get a augment

[cobalt rapids]

on release

[cobalt rapids]

it just adds stat buffs
barrage is unchanged

well except it ramps up to 100%

[safe nexus]

for capayev do i really have to wait for her dupes?

when she is tier 0?

[thorn tartan]

question about private island: i figured out how to plant wheat, feed food to chickens for nuggets I think... and hit trees and rocks for wood and coal. I don't know what I'm supposed to do next

[wind hazel]

wdym wait for her dupes

[woven star]

You can use gold bulins for ssr ships. But as for me chapayev not worth. I hope you have better options

Best of her skill is debuff enemy dd's eva

[safe nexus]

im building a second fleet and doesn't require her, so i gues i can wait, kinda a waste of dock space to not use her tho 😭

[woven star]

Do you have San Diego? Kazagumo? Sirius? There'r more useful options. And believe me it's not a big waste of fleet dock

[safe nexus]

ye, which is why i dont need chapayev

[woven star]

Chapayev better equivalent now is Trafalgar and not sure maybe one more ship with eva debuff

[safe nexus]

i dont have her

[hollow gust]

You shouldn't be suggesting support buffers to someone who can't even make a 2nd fleet

[hollow gust]

Chapayev is a SR ship which requires much cheaper bulins. She isn't really someone you max out early but putting SR bulins on her is not that bad of a investment

[safe nexus]

i already building ships for a second fleet :C

lvl 100+ rn

[red sapphire]

I have this items. Where can I go for SR upgrade parts and UR design plans and testing reports?
-# Or am I pointing too high for now?

[mint flint]

just do all of them

have you bought out the shops yet

[red sapphire]

I bought all SR upgrade parts and 1 UR upgrade parts (I have 4 sr and 5 ur). I still have to buy the other stuff but it's not enought to craft anything

[woven star]

Read context and early text before write to me

[hollow gust]

And you should take in the context that it's just dumb to suggest later game ships to new players

[woven star]

Man wtf you smoking? I told him that chapy not worth for bulins and maybe he has better option where point best usefull ships. Best usefulness as I noticed is eva debuff where Trafalgar point that niche. Read text

[mint flint]

you recommended these alternatives

[hollow gust]

How the fuck are ships like Sandy going to be better investments early on. Or the fact that kazagumo does different things.

Or the fact that new players aren't going to be considering her eva shread but instead just a solid ship . Stop reciting expensive as fuck or more niche ships to new players

Oh hey Z52 is the most busted DD in the game , let's tell every newbie that has her to invest into her before everything

[woven star]

Not alternatives other better options

[mint flint]

when you mention them in conversations, newbies are going to assume that they are good, and that they should therefore invest in them

[wind hazel]

how is sandiego not a better choice than chapayev for 2nd fleet? lol

[hollow gust]

You guys were literally criticizing warspite for taking materials away from Ur bulins gain.
Sandy is a expensive as fuck ship , who wants retrofit and augment for max performance

[wind hazel]

nobody said retrofit sandiego. the common recommendation in this channel for new player has been mlb+augment

[rain bobcat]

sandy is augment only not retro

also im still dying on the hill that retroing warspite is better than saving unless you have a great BB

[hollow gust]

Either way my annoyance are most towards ships like Sirius. There were zero consideration on how he was going to upgrade them , instead the are just spouting the best ships in the game

[wind hazel]

it's always case by case basis. how many UR you have, what you have to catchup, any new UR in the horizon, etc

[hollow gust]

~~there is never going to be a bb drought though ~~

[wind hazel]

raising kazagumo or sirius on 2nd fleet aren't too terrible though

[red sapphire]

Meanwhile me using Sirius on fleet 1

[wind hazel]

raising Aurora, now that can be viewed a bit problematic for a new player

[rain bobcat]

there are plenty of better options ig for total strength like ryu lion

[hollow gust]

Would rather use Chapy a better all rounder

[red sapphire]

Is ryu good?

[wind hazel]

they are all valid 2nd fleet choice. chapayev sandiego kazagumo sirius, there's no wrong pick lol

[rain bobcat]

tankier than portland and has excellent damage for beingg a gold

[red sapphire]

Oh nice. Can she be main tank?

[rain bobcat]

that certainly is an option for like <w13 but there's also other good main tanks early and she definitely isn't capable of tanking anything remotely difficult

[hollow gust]

Well if she is tankier then Portland, that means she will hard carry early game

[rain bobcat]

yeah she's quite strong

[red sapphire]

Okay. Good to know thanks

[wind hazel]

pretty much, can reserve portland for 2nd fleet for new player lol

[rain bobcat]

tbf collabs usually have a good vanguard

[hollow gust]

Kala > Azuma

[red sapphire]

Should I play anything from Ateliers?

[rain bobcat]

kala and reisalin are good

[hollow gust]

You should be sticking to your current ships instead of constantly juggling more and more ships in

[rapid shard]

Kala is a solid tank. Lenja isnt a terrible DD and Klaudia heals decent with a short freeze

[hollow gust]

Just a fat waste of exp and resources

[red sapphire]

Okay

[rain bobcat]

[red sapphire]

Seems like the collab have good ships then wow

[wind hazel]

most are garbage, just so you know

[hollow gust]

Most events have a decent ship or two , doesn't mean you swap to the new event ships every single time just cause they are minor improvements

[red sapphire]

Yeah fair enought

[rain bobcat]

tbf we only use them immediately because we have like, 0 ships to raise that interests us

so we can afford to immediately collect and level up new event ships

[red sapphire]

How do I raise ships efficiently?

[rapid shard]

Or you started mid collab and they was best options starting out lol

[rain bobcat]

you simply use exp books to get them to 90, mlb them, then straight to the 12-4 fleet they go

[red sapphire]

Isn't 70 to mlb?

[rapid shard]

Yeah but 90 just makes them immune to dying in 12-4 unless no gear at all lol

[rain bobcat]

70 you can mlb but the technical limit before you HAVE to mlb is 90

[red sapphire]

Ah okay

[rain bobcat]

70 lb1 80 lb2 90 lb3

also because 90-100 is a massive gap to fill with just exp books and 90 is enough to survive 12-4

[left cedar]

95 to 100 is alomost equal to 105-110 in amount of XP

[red sapphire]

Okay. I just mob with them and take fleet 2 for boss or I go all straight?

[left cedar]

100 to 105 is less than 95-100

[rain bobcat]

its usually impossible to go 6+boss unless you are raising an MLB UR main fleet inside the fleet or the other members are minimum lvl ~105

[rapid shard]

I usually just let the low level fleet clean up mobs then second fleet of 115ish clear boss. I have a rotation going of dorming/xp book to 70-75, throw them in mob till 115ish then they get swapped to fleet 2. Usually by the time mob hits that 115ish mark the 2nd fleet is 120

[rain bobcat]

or if you somehow are raising multiple good golds ig

but definitely very hard to go 6+boss with shitters

shitters being purple and below for 5 ships of the entire fleet

[rapid shard]

^ i just let uni or Klaudia carry the mob fleet at the start

[rain bobcat]

whenever I oath a UR I usually throw them in the farming fleet then use that advantage to go to 13-4 and do 7+boss

[red sapphire]

I want to raise USS ships to develop Ancho

[rapid shard]

Ive been staying at 12-4 just cause the purples and blues ive been raising have terrible AA for 13-4

[red sapphire]

What should I raise? I don't have much good USS vanguard ships honestly

[rain bobcat]

12-4 is usually the go-to I just go 13-4 if possible because I need gold for my activities

[rapid shard]

Honestly just pick some random blue/purples. You can MLB them quickly. Also look at the ship drops for the stage your farming and thats basically free MLBs from them dropping

[rapid shard]

I want bunker hill and need some gold so bout to swap over to 13-4 now that current mob is around 110ish

[red sapphire]

But I want to raise decent ships. You mean the commons and like?

[rain bobcat]

what do you have

[rapid shard]

Yeah just raise them to 70 to MLB for the tech and xp for Anchorage. Eventually you just gonna start raising randoms for fleet tech anyway. If you got a solid main fleet never hurts to raise some randoms that your getting dupes of. Im currently running Nevada and Oklahoma for tech cause they free and easy

[red sapphire]

Yes but I don't even have a second properly bilt OpSi fleet yet

[rapid shard]

You can clear basically everything but maybe arbitor and lv6 abysals with one fleet. Long as its a decent fleet setup

[rain bobcat]

what are you doing again, anchorage leveling? or just getting tech points

[red sapphire]

Anchorage research

[shadow canopy]

thinking of ryuuhou here, but would be great if there is a better choice

[red sapphire]

Unicorn is on guild shop

[rain bobcat]

sandy bristol bbaltimore

[rain bobcat]

better yet buy all of these instead

[red sapphire]

Okay

[rain bobcat]

ryuuhou is just severely inferior to unicorn

[shadow canopy]

[rapid shard]

Fleet 3 is what I use to clear everything up and if they die in a abysal I use 1 or 2 to clean it up. I did just swap out Roon for Agir to start leveling her. And Ulrich is not MLB. She's just there for IB mainfleet xp farming and crossfleet

[shadow canopy]

okge... my unicorn is retrofitted anyway

[red sapphire]

I see thanks

[rain bobcat]

if you have either of aquila volga then ryuuhou will never see the light of day

[rain bobcat]

dont flag uvh ever

[rapid shard]

Yeah i was swapping some stuff around and she got there and im.not spending AP to swap her back lol thats a tomorrow project

[rain bobcat]

you can simply look at the circle on the top right of ur screen and click fleet to rearrange

[rapid shard]

Long as you have a decent tank Unicorn built and a good main fleet dmg dealer its not that bad

[hollow gust]

Those fleets

[rapid shard]

1 shots lv6 strongholds so good enough for time being 🤷‍♂️

[pseudo ether]

should i raise san francisco or retrofit helena

or do both?

[rain bobcat]

helena

[pseudo ether]

Should she replace z23? For bosses

[rain bobcat]

sure

[deep cypress]

How do I scrap gold cats? Can't feed them to other gold cats, right?

[muted wind]

you can feed them to other cats

you actually need to feed 4 duplicates to even max out their skill

[deep cypress]

Weird. Game don't seem to let me do it. I'll check again. Thx.

[muted wind]

they're probably locked, just unlock them first

[deep cypress]

Oh, yeah, that makes sense

[shy violet]

heyo, i don't know if it's the correct place to ask that but i didn't find a more adapted channel, so...
i'm the kind of player who always make googlesheets to keep track of what i have or not in games, and i'm facing a little problem : no matter how i try i just can't get the same sorting as in game.
i almost always keep the sorting by lvl, but for example i have 7 rare ships at lvl36, and i just can't find any logic in the way these 7 are sorted, it's not by name, not by id, not by stats, not by xp...
does anyone know how ships are sorted when the lvl is the same

[muted wind]

the in-game level sort is level then rarity then internal id. i don't think the last part is exposed on the wiki so...

[shy violet]

well these 7 are, in sorted order, hobby brooklyn juneau marblehead galatea curacoa and asashio, all rare, all lvl36, but hobby's id is (according to the wiki) the 5th among these, not the 1st one

unless it's an other id and i didn't look at the correct place?

[boreal wagon]

every ship has 2 IDs, an index ID and a real ID, its sorted by real ID which is not on the wiki

[muted wind]

yeah, the wiki id is not the game's internal id. i'm honestly not sure what it means. https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/ships has the real ids down in the misc section

[shy violet]

ok, that explains why i can't get a correct order with that 🤔

[boreal wagon]

(also real IDs change with every lb - just increments by 1 - and can change with retrofit)

[muted wind]

i ran into the same issue with my own spreadsheet, decided to just cut off the last digit and ignore the retrofits with different ids until i notice problems

[shy violet]

ignoring useless details is often a good option, and if you find out it was not so useless then you can still look at it later

[muted wind]

yeah, i just change the id if i notice the retrofits are sorted wrong

[boreal wagon]

wait until you find out ddgs have 2 retrofit ids

[muted wind]

good thing i literally don't care

i think i just use their vanguard id

[shy violet]

now the question is, can i easily export these id from this site

[muted wind]

probably not, i could send you my list sorted alphabetically or by id if you'd like

[boreal wagon]

you can export it from my site if you really wanna deal with my json files

[shy violet]

the list by id could be great indeed, thanks 🙂

[boreal wagon]

but just getting their list is probably much easier

[muted wind]

sent a dm, i hope that's good enough

[shy violet]

i'll put this in my sheet and see if the sorting seems correct 🙂

[silent hearth]

ugh god i hate the sirens that heal at 30%

does hard arbiter give out progression rewards (like hitting 75% ect)

[shy violet]

the 7 lvl36 rare are still not exactly in correct order, juneau and marblehead are switched 🤔

[muted wind]

yeah, it does, definitely worth at least trying

[rapid shard]

Pretty sure its a reward at 75% 50% and 0%

[muted wind]

juneau's retrofit probably has a different id and that's what i had
yeah, it is. non-retro should be 10207

[silent hearth]

mmk ty. but theres no reset/hidden mobs right? just gotta get her in 1 run?

[muted wind]

yup, gotta 1 run her

[shy violet]

maybe 🤔 you took these id from the site you linked above

[muted wind]

no, i got my own tooling for dealing with the game data like a moron

just cross-check the site if you run into more cases like that, it's probably just retro vs non-retro

[shy violet]

i'll do, thanks 🙂

[violet grail]

What % are you managing so far on hard arbiter? I got to 84% last time I tried. At 2 fleets so far, hoping to get a third one up and running by the end of the month to hopefully hit that 75%.

And ye the abyssal bosses that heal definetly feel the most difficult. I try to attack with my weaker fleet first to proc the "weak point" so my stronger fleet does more damage after.

[silent hearth]

first time i tried it, i got it to 54%, but the first 3 fights were on auto so i could probably get it below 50% if i min-max it by switching gear between my teams and manualing it.

[rain bobcat]

arbiters are a UR check or a +13 weapon check

[forest palm]

yesn't

[silent hearth]

this arbiter is my least favorite arbiter so far too >.<

[forest palm]

you don't need +13 gear for Arbiter, regular or hard, you need proper compositions, and correct gear

it's more so a gear check than anything

[rain bobcat]

I kinda meant +13 check for 1-2 fleet but yeah for 4 fleeting its just good gear

[forest palm]

again you do not need +13

[silent hearth]

yeah i was just throwing my strongest at her and i got it to 54% with mostly auto. i could probably get it to 25% by the end of the month, half my units are either wearing blue or un-upgraded purples.

[violet grail]

oh wow so close to 50 nice. When you say switching gear, you mean like fighting with strogest fleet, then taking off all their gear and giving it to the next fleet to fight? I was wondering if the gear gets updated or not when you already entered a zone.

[forest palm]

get that through your head

[silent hearth]

yeah you can switch gear between fights

[violet grail]

I should defo start doing that, ty for the info.

[silent hearth]

my current teams are meh, if i did what i did on auto and with shit gear im sure i could do much better with effort.

[forest palm]

Gridley is wild

[silent hearth]

grinding C1s to get her to 70 before i do another 😛

[forest palm]

you shouldn't be grinding C1 period with shit like this

[silent hearth]

its free xp, i got several units over 100 over the last 2 days.

[forest palm]

several yet not a lot here indicate a good investment

[silent hearth]

shrug why does it matter? im gaining AP boxes faster then im using them and using them to grind ships up. whats the issue?

[muted wind]

they're implying you should level better ships

[forest palm]

you're not gaining any affinity on ships you're leveling

[primal yew]

What main fleet can I put up for Meck exp farm for 12-4 I usually run Unikai and Perseus this is for mobbing btw

[silent hearth]

i dont have a whole lot of better ships lol

[solemn comet]

The correct channel

[primal yew]

Sry for the obvious questions I just got back after almost a year away so I completely forgot what my ships can do

[silent hearth]

im sure ill get affinity when i use them for various things. im not worried about getting affinity with some of them. i really dont see why this is even an issue.

[forest palm]

Graf + Peter + Odin

[rain bobcat]

well you can work towards zwei seydlitz and any+1 to 125 or run anyone else you like

[muted wind]

honestly, if you don't want to level anyone while grinding for meck, may as well take the 3 URs and call it a day. 12-4 doesn't really need a healer if you're strong enough, and oil cap should make the cost irrelevant too

[forest palm]

then you'll just be wasting xp

[muted wind]

... actually, no, seydlitz would be a good idea anyways due to preload

[primal yew]

yeah if possible I'd like to work to 125

[rain bobcat]

then yeah just run zwei seydlitz+1

[forest palm]

just use what I suggested it's easy and you'll blow through your grind

[primal yew]

nvm they all have 3m excess

Uhhh who's worth it to 125 other than zwei I have the blue cog chips

[silent hearth]

i really dont understand, how am i wasting XP? im not argueing, i really want to know what im actually doing wrong?

[muted wind]

take the next 3 in the list, it doesn't really matter

[primal yew]

aight

[rain bobcat]

seyd has a semi preload+zwei fires fast with 457

its quite fast+both are good to 125

[rain bobcat]

gg

[forest palm]

if you go back to max affection and the ship is 120 after a point you are going to be wasting XP where you could have worked on affection in addition to xp grind

[rain bobcat]

if you want to c1 farm early because you just have so much time id rather you run it with 115+ ships who are already at love and just work towards their 120 or 125

[primal yew]

As for these is the Prototype the better option? I might as well upgrade some of these so I have spares

[forest palm]

Hellcats and Tigercats

[rain bobcat]

well running it on weaker ships is fine but gettting from 50-100 affinty takes quite a lot more runs than you might think, probably 100 to near 120 ish already in terms of 12-4 runs without mvp

[primal yew]

alr alr

[forest palm]

the BFG isn't good for campaign where AA is needed, and the Messershit is hot garbo

[warped acorn]

is 1-1 affinity farming still working nowadays?

[rain bobcat]

no

[warped acorn]

what's the min chapter for it

[forest palm]

you may as well grind gifts in the island lol

[muted wind]

bfg is totally fine for campaign if you don't need the extra AA, and it's good for any medium armor boss also

[warped acorn]

u got a point

[silent hearth]

this is the team im using for grinding XP on C1, i dont have a lot of spare oil atm so i cant get their afinity up, however i have around 1400 AP worth of boxes (and growing) so the only thing i really can do atm is just grind more C1.

[rain bobcat]

idk why ur leveling gridley though

[silent hearth]

to get her to 70, im out of good ships to lvl atm

[rain bobcat]

shinano is just dead as fuck even if you run her on c1

gonna be useless until mlb and you'll need affinity later on

[red sapphire]

Is Stephen Potter a good addition to a CV helena fleet? Something like Anchorage - Stephen Potter - Helena as Vanguard

[silent hearth]

o.o the mobs die in less then 10 seconds

[muted wind]

i mean why not

[rain bobcat]

kazagumo exists

[muted wind]

stephen is fine if you don't have kazagumo
-# i may be biased

[forest palm]

stop faction fleeting

[red sapphire]

Okay Kazagumo then

[rain bobcat]

stephen potter in opsi is just 2022 hopium

[muted wind]

i fail to see how asking if a ship with a CV buff is good for a CV fleet is a problem

[forest palm]

all the ships listed are USS

[heavy zealot]

Is blackrock shooter a good unit?

[late flame]

decent but bbs are aplenty

[rain bobcat]

decent

[heavy zealot]

Am thinking of using her instead of indiana and/or hood, for my 2nd fleet

[forest palm]

go for

[silent hearth]

ok more like 18 now that i replaced Ibuki, but none of the mobs are living long enough to harm my main. honestly i dont plan on developing Shinano until i MLB her either, im just leveling her because my other 'decent' ships are pretty much all at 120

My saratoga was level 1 yesterday, this grind is how i got her upto 99 lol

[queen frigate]

Got shinano and baltimore, what roles should they be in

[silent hearth]

is the Shinano MLB?

[heavy zealot]

Is blackrock shooter better ghan indiana and hood as dps? Assuming they using the same gear XD (but brs has her unique aug)

[primal yew]

Is opsi still the "hardest" content of this game?

[queen frigate]

No?

[rain bobcat]

one shotting meta needs more investment than opsi

[silent hearth]

i think W15 is, im only on w13 and i can easily clear OPSI except hard arbiter

[slow jasper]

So I get this both on island and in private quarters. Tried repairing, didn't help. What else can I try?

[silent hearth]

its 'generally' considered not worth using a UR until you got some limit breaks on them. shrug and i dont know who baltimore is.

[queen frigate]

The heavy cruiser?

[mint flint]

its not "generally" considered not worth, ships that arent MLB just arent good

[hushed sorrel]

you should move to https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/488684387932700672

[mint flint]

they lose a huge chunk of their usability

[violet grail]

This may be a bit too vague of a question but what are some good purple ships to level for a third fleet to help with opsi c6 abyssal and hard arbiter that can be gotten from guild shop or campaign drops?
I'm thinking I'll probably level Hiryuu and Z23 next, got enough bulins for a third purple but not sure who.

[queen frigate]

Rainbow bulins are hard to get
Currently I have uvh and shinano as ur ships
Which one should I focus on first

[mint flint]

neither are very high priority, just save your ur bulins

[silent hearth]

id save your UR bullins for event ships or meta ships (not META, im talking about the best ships)

[mint flint]

you'll eventually get shinano dupes from daily light pull pity

[warped acorn]

light pull?

[mint flint]

you should be doing a light pull daily yes

[warped acorn]

oh wait the 400 pity right

[mint flint]

yes

[queen frigate]

For the 400 pull should I go for a dupe uvh/shinano or get the nj

[silent hearth]

for one you should avoid pulling from the standard banners except for the daily pull to do your daily

[rain bobcat]

musashi(soon)>vanguard>rest doesn't particularly matter

[forest palm]

Shinano is still currently the best because people may have access to Hakuho, but they sure won't have access t Amagi

[rain bobcat]

valid

[red sapphire]

How do I get Plymouth blueprints? I can't get more by research focus

[lament plover]

Any Appropriate change I can make against Yudachi Meta fight? I am aiming for 2 shots cuz I have fked up my rsc

[red sapphire]

Make sure you are using HE BB guns I think it's light armor

[rain bobcat]

that can easily one shot

[violet grail]

is it worth farming 6-3 for ark royal drop if I don't have any ships that slow or immobilize yet?

[rain bobcat]

nvm ur lion is 99

[muted wind]

if survival isn't an issue (shouldn't be), definitely just level lion lol

[silent hearth]

get lion upto 99 would be the biggest. if you grind with her put her in your flagship position for the bonus xp

[rain bobcat]

simply get avp

[silent hearth]

is arkroyal retro any good btw?

[rain bobcat]

slower with typical slower damage but its only 60% slow and not a stop

[lament plover]

So second best HE guns for 3 barrels would be Mk 406 Kai?

[rain bobcat]

lion gun>406 mk7>406 mk6, that gun is shit

[lament plover]

Don't tell me I forgot to buy her gun

[violet grail]

hmm that might take me a long time still, 136/600 on iron blood tech points lol

[muted wind]

show your BB guns

[rain bobcat]

stick to BBs early

[zenith heron]

without the Mk2 and Mk7,

the purple mk6 is still your most doable BB gun for HE

[rain bobcat]

lion gun is 406 mk2 rainbow

[silent hearth]

most of the ships on campaign are not really 'worth' grinding. if you get her you get her, if not dont bother. when you go back on hard to get your 3 stars you probably will end up getting her

[rain bobcat]

surely you have it if you have lion

[lament plover]

oh fpund it. It's on Vanguard

[silent hearth]

the only one i would say worth getting a copy of is Yuudachi, shes a pretty decent DD until you get better ships (her retro)

[muted wind]

put it on alsace, then i'd look for an HE gun for vanguard that roughly syncs up

[lament plover]

oh wait I found another Mk.7 lying around

[silent hearth]

found another lying around? T.T gimmie!

[lament plover]

go craft one

I have slacked hard in Op Si that I only handful of rainbow

[zenith heron]

Kazagumo says Hi, also unsure why Yuudachi if its about IB Tech

[silent hearth]

i didnt mention tech, i was talking about map drops. he asked if ark royal was worth farming for. the only campaign ship worth farming IMO is Yuudachi.

[rain bobcat]

poi meta is better than poi retro just worthless nowadays

[silent hearth]

for new player ships Yuudachi was pretty strong. she was usually number 1 dmg in my team for a while until i started getting better stuff

[zenith heron]

to me all Campaign ships worth mentioning are Helena and Unicorn, even if you can get them early, the rest are just basically trophies

[rapid shard]

Farming for a SR on a non oil cap map is a bad idea for newer players

[rain bobcat]

poi meta has 60 days left and is better than poi retro for a fraction of the cost

[silent hearth]

ah i forgot about uni, i just grabbed her from the guild right off the bat. and he has a uni already.

[rain bobcat]

not only do you need 70k for poi retro you also need to spend half a URin

[silent hearth]

what is poi?

[rain bobcat]

yuudachi nickname

[rapid shard]

Other than the 2 Joe mentioned there isnt any worth actualy farming just nice additions if you get them. Pushing campaign with the easy acquirable stuff is 1000x better than farming 3-4 6-4 or 8-4 for gold drops

[zenith heron]

yes, but sadly it won't change the point that Yuudachi could be useful, since the starter DD is enough, the one worth it is Eldridge if blud has the Retro Item , and Kazagumo sadly... (both not campaign drop)

[mint flint]

ur retros are really expensive anyway

[rain bobcat]

if you want to know the long reason she's called poi, its from history, search battle of guadacanal yuudachi, if you want a short answer kancolle ( a ship game) has yuudachi speaking poi in basically every sentence because of the said historical reason

[rapid shard]

yes but they can be very good. Eldridge Essex and Sandy being the best investments. Warspite is solid but some golds are similar preformance for way lower cost

[silent hearth]

yeah idk. id still say yuudachi retro was way worth it to me starting. Helena is good when you have the right setup and Unicorn isnt worth farming because of guild shop.

that being said i got Yuudachi without farming shrug thats my opinion.

[zenith heron]

the only thing Yuudachi is worth, is probably Tech, but unsure if she has good ones, lemme cbeck...

[muted wind]

yeah, i wouldn't recommend yuudachi retro still. and... helena and unicorn are both in the guild shop, so why would you farm them

if you don't just randomly drop them before even getting them there

[rain bobcat]

sigh, there's many good options that are very cheap early, you can get ryu lion rn and she would hard carry all of ch1-12 for the vanguard and like I said poi meta is better than poi retro there's genuinely 0 reason to farm for poi

[lament plover]

Her record is dispute with Ayanami. So like she basically go maybe everytime she speaks. and it is cute; people like it. and bam it spreads.

[rain bobcat]

the reason its popular is kancolle but the reason it started was a japanese historical fact about the battle of guadalcanal

[silent hearth]

Yuudachi META is better, and i forgot about ryu lion. your right. I still wouldnt entirely discount Yuudachi though for a new player.

hes not going to be using retro BP for a while most likely, i had all the retro BP without having to save for a DD

[mint flint]

if they happen to get her sure but she isnt worth farming

[rain bobcat]

new player = even more limited oil and ur telling them to waste upwards of 30k oil to farm for a ship that's mediocre

[zenith heron]

FP and Torp, not the best, not the worst, likely mid...

[muted wind]

half a URin, the gold cost, and needing to get a map drop SSR should be enough reason not to even suggest this

[rapid shard]

None of the farmable SRs are even that great tbh. even W14 and 15s

[rain bobcat]

if you got lucky then ur heavily underestimatingg map drop rate lol

[rapid shard]

isnt it like .75% for a SR map drop?

[muted wind]

we don't really know, but somewhere around 1% at least sounds right

[silent hearth]

ah yeah for sure, wouldnt recommend with ryu and Yuudachi META available right now. i said this a few minutes ago, none of them are not worth farming.

[zenith heron]

yeah, still low when you are spending too much oil for a ship drop

[rapid shard]

I remeber seeing Foxmines being .75% for a SR and it could be either. Not sure on other maps but id imagine similar

[silent hearth]

none of them are worth farming* double negative.

[mint flint]

you contradict yourself in the very image you sent but ok

[zenith heron]

only farming for endgame stats/tech is the only viable thing here...

other than that, not much recommend anywhere else

[rain bobcat]

you say it's not "worth" grinding her then say its worth getting a copy of her..

[silent hearth]

nah, your taking that way. shes worth getting her retro'd. shes not worth grinding

[rain bobcat]

foxmines are a punch to the balls these days

[mint flint]

you quite literally wrote

[its] worth getting a copy of yuudachi

[rain bobcat]

oil cap just makes you cry when you try doing it

[rapid shard]

Gold pieces are hard to come by for a newer player. They would be much much better off using them for PRs/DRs

and Yudachi needs a lot for retro

[violet grail]

Im getting so confused lol. Tbh feels like all the recommendations being given are for ships that need gold bulins, im mostly looking for ships that need purple bulins.

[rapid shard]

I just used Uni and random blue CL and got fairly lucky getting them but only did that cause i was bored and it was super cheap to run them

[zenith heron]

Yuudachi has the least need for retrofitting as a UR, but not enough to still make her worth it when Unzen and new DDs are worth more in the late game

[rapid shard]

What are your options?

[mint flint]

not sure how you expect to get her retro without getting her first

[silent hearth]

keep trying. not my fault if you cant read. i was clearly recommending her retro. ill re-iterate since you are selectively reading what you want.

[mint flint]

you're selectively reading your own text my guy

[silent hearth]

keep burning that strawman blob.

[mint flint]

ad hominem or something

[rain bobcat]

tldr he's saying that it's nice if you manage to get a copy of poi and that her retro is decent

the problem is that a player has a very small chance getting yuudachi in 3 runs (you only need to 1 clear from ch1-9 to 100% campaign and hard mode 3 star maximum needs 2 clears)

and the fact that poi retro herself is quite mid in today's standards
以上。

[silent hearth]

completly agree, shes phased out of my comp already. for a while she was my queen . in hindesite with her META available and with Ryu lion i would say the retro isnt worth it. Ryu easily would take her spot if i was in the same spot RN

though again, i got her without grinding XD if it wasnt for that i probably would still not have her retro.

[violet grail]

I've got unicorn, oumi, helena, kuybyshev, laffey, impero at lv 120+; nelson, portland, kazagumo, hakuhou, centaur, Z1, San diego at lv 100+ some getting close to 120 now that ill need to replace soon in levelling fleet. All of those are mlb and retrofited.

I'm looking for stuff that will help me in opsi abyssal c6 and harbiter for a third fleet. I've got stuff like Z23, Hiryuu, Javelin I could level I guess. Not really anything outside of what I could get in map drops or guild shop available to me atm.

[rain bobcat]

ur just not ready to do harbiter

[violet grail]

okay fair, then just for c6 abyssal then

[rain bobcat]

harbiter is a massive gear check+120 and comp check

[silent hearth]

just a heads up, Harbiter is nice to do but i doubt you will get her b4 the end of the month and its drops are just not worth stressing over.

[rapid shard]

Yeah i would just do stuff for tech currently your gonna need better options for harbiter

[violet grail]

my goal is just to get to 75%

[rapid shard]

Regular arbitir shouldnt be much of a issue with decentish gear

[silent hearth]

you should be able to clear c6 though. make sure you utilise the hidden mobs.

[rain bobcat]

you would need 3 very good gold lvl 120 fleets to do harbiter early on in ur game

[violet grail]

Oh I should start focusing on tech now? okay thats good to know

[silent hearth]

dont stress about it, your losing very very little by not getting her, even 50% wouldnt catch you much.

[split gazelle]

I barely beat harbiter with 2 UR 125 fleets + mobbing fleet

[rain bobcat]

also the fact that temperance is kind of an ass for newer players to clear imo

[rapid shard]

It never hurts and hopfully you'll get some strong random pop ups that will strengthen your fleet options.

[rain bobcat]

only if you really dont have anything good to level up for some odd reason that I would even consider trying to raise reload/hit backline ships at this stage

[silent hearth]

just for reference Harbiter gives less then normal 😛

[late flame]

well, you'll get there eventually

[rapid shard]

With your current fleet tho long as they are decentish geared you should be able to clear normal arbitor and c5 abysals no real issue. c6 might be a bit of a challenge but your can spend AP to recover all your fleets morale and HP once a day or so. might just take a bit

[silent hearth]

with a few 120s i think he should be able to do it if he uses the hidden mobs, without having to do the 50 ap order

[violet grail]

yeah i did normal at start of month thats not really difficult since progress gets saved. and i did a c5 abyss yesterday only needing one of the resolve refresh fights.

[rain bobcat]

my lazy ass can't be bothered lmao I just go in with IJN CV or BB+nakhi fleet without changing gear

[silent hearth]

oh yeah your golden then. so long as you dont get the one that heals at 30%

[rapid shard]

Yeah just focus on getting better gear, tech and ships before stressing Harbitor

[rain bobcat]

my IJN CV can prob kill 1/5 times depending on eva rng because I dont have aurora on it

[late flame]

same actually.. thats why i have never changed my fourth fleet from anti-light to crossfleet lol

[rapid shard]

Aurora is a sleeper elite ship. finally got her and now almost breaking 600k on poiMETA fight

[rain bobcat]

0 changes from last month I just go in balls deep

should probably use amagi now but I kinda like shinano skin so I keep her in

[silent hearth]

o.0 thats interesting. i think i have a copy. i might give her a try

[rapid shard]

BB rld tech is now finally getting 4th salvo on oathed NJ and Oumi at the 2sec mark lol

[rapid shard]

What you running on Haku for light?

[rain bobcat]

that's what, 12-14 rld?

[rain bobcat]

no changes from last month

[rapid shard]

right around that. still using Mk6s

[late flame]

tbh once you have the gear and sufficient levels of tech opsi just becomes an annoyance

[rain bobcat]

I dont really like swapping gear because I like having most of my dock geared for satisfaction with actual good gold gear so im broke+annoyed when swapping half the time

I do have spare +13s unused when I do need to swap I just dont want to click more buttons

[rapid shard]

I feel that

[muted wind]

real

[rain bobcat]

tbf the difference between crossfleet is very apparent in opsi, even with the same gear I doubt someone can one fleet without changing especially on the most disadvantageous armor for their fleet

[lament plover]

Looking at my warehouse*

Stand in front of it*

[rain bobcat]

crossfleets can do like 20 bars of damage to harbiter lmao

[rapid shard]

How much of a dmg jump is a +13mk7 to the +10mk6 triple 406? debating on crafting that next or getting more planes.

[rain bobcat]

18% total damage for most gears so probably around that ballpark

[split gazelle]

which planes?

[rapid shard]

Tenrai mainly

[rapid shard]

How much does the increased FP stat impact it?

65 compared to 25

[rain bobcat]

well the 18% dmg I mentioned is +10 vs +13 of the same gear, its much more if you go from +10 mk6 to mk7 +13

not only does it have more raw, it also has more FP

[rapid shard]

Ah gotcha. Im still trying to get a rough idea how much the actual stat number (FP, AVI etc) effects dmg output

[rain bobcat]

from rough estimate, the difference would be 30%

[muted wind]

eh, the fp difference probably comes out to 2-4% more dps, and since the gun isn't the only damage source, i'd probably only expect 10-20% overall, which is still a lot

[rain bobcat]

nah its not as low as 10 its +10 mk6 vs +13 mk7

its minimum 25% maximum around 30-35% difference

[muted wind]

for just the gun, maybe, but the gun isn't 100% of the damage

[rapid shard]

Ive got NJ setup as best i can minus rainbow table and shes currently strongest BB till next rerun of better ones. Gold tower White shell and USS DD gun with stag

[rain bobcat]

hm I mean I don't really have a reliable way to test this since my BB fleet doesn't have aurora and I don't have AP so it would be wanky with eva rng

I can try running it once though

harbiter is just paper lol how does 1 salvo erase it to 50 bars

im using AP guns with zwei the only one using HE

[rapid shard]

Im still in poverty status currently and 64 elec panels is a bit. So trying to be smart about next grabs. Will have first proto Tenrai from shop next weekish

[split gazelle]

Don't know the numbers on helldiver vs tenrai, but tenrai can be used against all armors (unless you have skydiver). Unlike mk7 which is light only.

[rapid shard]

Been following Suchis recommended gear lab list. trying to get one before stressing the second on some of the recs

[rain bobcat]

no ply or traf in team just vanguard dmg buffmight just be an unlucky run but wtver

[muted wind]

probably just rng because 50% more damage just doesn't math

[rain bobcat]

this is why I dont like it when everything is light armor for the month

cba to switch things around

[rapid shard]

Light armor options are my weakest atm ive got most the mid grade medium/heavy stuff. Not having any planes other than 109G/helldiver that are decent for light has me relying on BBs mainly

[rain bobcat]

its beacuse what can clear light armor easily would be USS CV+kearsarge, lion soyuz+nakhimov, or pure bruteforce with the wrong gear

temperance is just kinda boring

[rapid shard]

Yeah and im lacking all but Kearsarge (dev25) lol

Speaking of Kear, once i get her dev30 and finish Essex retro. Would Kear Essex Enty be a solid comp?

Dont have Yk2

[supple wraith]

are there gold gears from PR8 worth investing in?

[split gazelle]

donskoi's gun is mentioned in the cl section of suchis gear guide

[rain bobcat]

goodluck syncing without access to skyraider

I would say use avp instead though idk if even she can catch up to double fighter sex

also ur kear is gonna be held back by the lack of hvar

[split gazelle]

why run double fighter on essex

[rain bobcat]

its temperance would you not?

[knotty jolt]

AA capabilities

[rain bobcat]

well speed is an issue even with TB anyway so its still a problem

sex has what, 160 rld as a CV when oathed?

[rapid shard]

and Yk2 already had her rerun too... Best case id imagine is skyraider being added to shop?

[rain bobcat]

gearlab most likely

[rapid shard]

How long after UR rerun does it normally take for them to be added to perm selector?

[rain bobcat]

they follow the order they were released

after musashi is archived next is yk2

probably Q1 2026

if musashi is archived 2025 that is

[split gazelle]

just trying to learn, but this would work with DB no? fighter seems to be an issue yeah lol

i dont even know if this would be worth it

[rain bobcat]

ok its doable ig just scuffed

[split gazelle]

but thats with 2 tbs

with 2 fighters its even more scuffed

[rain bobcat]

yeah I kind of knew that just didnt think it would be 1s even with avp's rld buff

dont even know why they decided to just give her 20 rld

[split gazelle]

before essex retro I was using shangri la with her +20 rld augment

[gritty mulch]

Guys got a queston who is better between shinano and new jersey?

[rain bobcat]

shinano 9 times out of 10

[grizzled mortar]

i have 90 prints for chkalov, but she needs NP or Sardegna for farming xp and my only main fleet ship that would qualify is sovetskaya rossiya. are there any easily accessible ships I could pick up for that farm? (fwiw, doing her after Harbin and Ply)

[gritty mulch]

Alr ty

[weary gust]

90 prints is like having 0 prints. She won't be anywhere near usable. Most NP/Sardegna ships are event only, you might be able to get a few from war archives.

[grizzled mortar]

fair

[wind hazel]

it will be a bit scuffed triple bb, conte from merit shop and guilio from guild shop

[violet grail]

You an @silent hearth were right, was able to beat two c6 abyssal zones. both were ix concealement so light armour. And I think I got lucky that neither had the healing ability, still not sure if I could win against that.

[rapid shard]

Healing ability isnt that bad just need a fleet that can do x30 bars of health in one run. Not that hard to do just save best fleet for last

[violet grail]

Hm does that mean if near end of timer im at like x31 bars remaining I should purposefully not use any skills and avoid doing damage?

[rapid shard]

Na dont gotta do all that. Just if your not able to 1-2 shot it just make sure your strongest setup hits last

[violet grail]

Alright guess im overthinking XD

[rapid shard]

The healing part is just a pain for scuffed fleet comps and gear when new

[violet grail]

well that all somewhat applies hehe, idk if i can still call myself new one month in at ch 12.

[rapid shard]

You've been following the guides lol you'll be fine

[frozen stag]

for gear lab crafting do you just save all mats to craft flapjacks and the 155mm kai since crafting rainbow gear takes a long time anyways

also what do i choose between the tigercat and flapjack i can craft only one and wondered if tigercat is more worth since im lacking on mats

[wind hazel]

craft according to your need. what chapter of campaign are you trying to push? or for what content?

[supple wraith]

is Aquila a Uni sidegrade?

[wind hazel]

no, aquila is a secondary healer

[frozen stag]

im procrastinating on w13 i probably can clear until 14-1 but mostly for opsi

[supple wraith]

so we run both in higher worlds?

[wind hazel]

craft 155kai when you wanna tackle w14. gold hellcat also suffice for w13, but if you wanna craft flapjack then go ahead, it is the best campaign fighter

[wind hazel]

you can do that yes

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab/ use this to further help you decide on what to craft. if you dont have wyvern yet then i recommend getting it first before any other gear

[prisma torrent]

anything i should build?

hold on there is another ss

[frozen stag]

oh damb just found about this, sadly i dont have a wyvern yet

[wind hazel]

twin 113 if you dont have them

also have you changed your research focus to series 8 yet?

[prisma torrent]

no

[wind hazel]

do that now

[prisma torrent]

not enough tech points for anything rn

[wind hazel]

that's not the point

you're wasting your research academy on old season that give ship blueprints that can be coined or terrible gear blueprints

[prisma torrent]

ok so where tf do i change it

[wind hazel]

Lab>Research Academy>bottom right, click research focus>select PR/DR8

when you see it become like this, then it's correctly setup

[prisma torrent]

ok done

[woven star]

I'll recommend skip Kansas for a while. Meck or fat elf. I mean IB ships for point will be appreciated

[spark patio]

fat elf

[woven star]

Yeah. I don't remember her name but she exactly like mh from anime Plus-Sized Elf

[spring delta]

Is there an alternative guide like slaimuda since its not updated anymore?

[slender pond]

When did the pack for the sport skins got updated to also add the Race Queen ones?

[woven star]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/

[spring delta]

Thank you

[violet grail]

Are you looking for a guide for something specific or just a broad collection of guides?
The two sites that get linked most often on here are
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/
and the ecgc posted above

[woven star]

Sushi for more specific stages and challenge mods and cgc in general tips

[sharp socket]

gouden leeuw

[spring delta]

Thank you
I'll read both guides

[woven star]

Same two words just different letters. thx. I didn't remember it anyway

[wind hazel]

only collab, little ships or muse ships etc dont give fleet tech

for new players some can be very useful, for vets they are practically collections

1 or 2 may find use for really end game stuff though, like homura sub or noshiromuse

[spring delta]

Trophy Collections

[topaz smelt]

some collab ships are good, most are collection fodder

[wind hazel]

also tico is under essex class, 2nd row. maybe you didn't click the arrow to open the essex slot

[red sapphire]

Only the tough one left... Tips for speeding up? I plan to do 12-4 if there is nothing better

[wind hazel]

grind at 150 morale, x3 sortie, rest 40mins to regain morale, repeat

[fluid brook]

This collab only have 2 limited ships?

[red sapphire]

Thank you

[fluid brook]

Thanks Mori

[peak fable]

probably was asked a million times by now and I apologize in advance: New Jersey or Shinano?

[wind hazel]

is this from handbook selection? keep it and select when you need 1 copy to mlb either one

[peak fable]

honestly, this is the best response till I have 4 rainbow bulins

[topaz smelt]

kinda depends which guide you follow

if you are following the pr4 strat, then you probably want nano, other strats idk ask the writers

[dapper token]

Do u guys recomend getting catchup for dr ships

[topaz smelt]

you just do all the catchups

unless you care about delaying progress for some gear

[wind hazel]

depends on which DR. some i'd keep to convert for protocore

[topaz smelt]

youll find a use for most DRs

Is this normal?

[wind hazel]

of course not normal lol

#tech-support pin for bluestacks fix, or switch emulator to mumu12

[red sapphire]

Could you guys recomend me an equipment setup for I-404? I think that shipgirl is a for-ever investment

[gilded carbon]

There is a Guide to that somewhere

It gets posted semi-regularly

[wind hazel]

#gameplay-help message

[red sapphire]

Thanks, wich one to choose at when I don't have much of Submarine stuff?

[wind hazel]

the one you can afford

[red sapphire]

Okay

[weary edge]

i also heard u get more xp from doing X-1 rather than X-4 is that also true

[forest palm]

it's small, but adds up in the end, yes

[wind hazel]

better exp per oil

[weary edge]

in terms of the best ratio of xp per oil is that for 12-1 or the highest X-1 u can do

since ik 12-4 is best gold - oil ratio

[forest palm]

higher you go the less ships you can afford to level, 12-1 is a nice sweet spot

[weary edge]

ok ty

[spark patio]

guys, should i give Sandy STAAG then give Eldridge rooma? or i should do something else?

[forest palm]

no...neither of those exactly want the STAAG, and Sandy wants the Twin 113 more

[spark patio]

oh so where should i use STAAG

[forest palm]

primarily your BB

[spark patio]

ok

[zenith heron]

Any good subs to pair with I 404 since no flasher? Homura and Leonardo? or something better?

[vital cloak]

does the pity or idk how is it called in here passes to another banner? or it reset every banner changes?

[crimson glacier]

resets

[tropic tusk]

theres perma which wont reset then then thers event which will reset

[vital cloak]

i see, thank you

[dapper token]

Is it better to get the research on ships u focusing on or ones that yield the most bps

[whole dawn]

Not gameplay related idk
What does the PR voucher do? Like if I buy the PR voucher series 5 do I unlock any of the ship I choose Within the voucher but I still have not yet reached Series 5

[vital cloak]

how many pulls do i need to guarantee a Event ship?

[rocky lake]

Are any of the ships from this new pool worth grabbing?#game-news message

[urban grail]

Whats hakuhou specializes in

[rocky lake]

yeah

it basically allows you to unlock any of the ships it specifies without needing the actual unlock requirements

and also insta builds them (they still need dev)

[ivory pawn]

Anti-heavy, ideally paired with UR Amagi.

[whole dawn]

But I still haven't reached Series 5 I'm only at series 2 does that still let me unlock a series 5 ship?

[rocky lake]

Yes to my understanding its basically just a way to skip tech requirements through paying

[urban grail]

Dps-wise is she comparable to the big shots

[ivory pawn]

There is no set sequence, as long as you fulfill the requirements you can unlock any ship in any season. The paid pack allows you to skip the requirement.

[urban grail]

And what about i 404

[whole dawn]

Dam ok I mean worth it? I suppose because reaching Series 5 takes a long time

[urban grail]

Whats the best combinations for subs now

[rocky lake]

honest unsure tbh im sure someone with more knowledge would clarify if they are actively worth it

[ivory pawn]

Imo, the PR5 pack is not.

[whole dawn]

[ivory pawn]

Tbh none of them probably are. If you forced me at gunpoint, maybe PR4 for Anchorage?

[ivory pawn]

Top sub, to no surprise. Just swap her into fishpack with Flasher and one of Archer/Albacore/Homura.

And Hakuhou is amongst the top anti-heavy damage when paired with Amagi, but iirc I believe the top BBs edge her out for first place.

[whole dawn]

While your here may you provide a good iron blood fleet

[ivory pawn]

Something something faction fleets are a good way to kneecap your progression. But besides that I’m not very good at fleetbuilding sorry.

[whole dawn]

[ivory pawn]

Only guarantee is 400 cubes for a UR. There’s no set amount for SRs/Elites.

[vital cloak]

i see thank you

[gilded dune]

do they give us enough to flb hestia and ryuu by the end or na?

[eager mulch]

[sweet delta]

They give you enough to get 0lb Hestia and Ryu

[gilded dune]

bummer gatta bullin

[violet grail]

what's the first fleet tech people start focusing on usually? iron blood to unlock friedrich der grosse?

[forest palm]

that's typically the plan

[violet grail]

guess im gonna be levelling a lot of ships starting with the letter Z for the forseeable future then

[little plinth]

Trying to do 15-3 and having a bit of trouble. I was following some advice given to me a while back, my fleets are:

Mob: musashi unikai aquila / eldridge (had guam but swapped for ASW) shimanto laffey2
Boss: alsace hakuhou (swapped enty out) york2 / brest anchorage sandy
Support: fritz nakhimov essex

I can post detailed gear screenshots if necessary, but in general what I'm running on mob is: a mix of flapjacks/wyvern/tigercat

flapjacks on support, sextuple/UR76/UR57 for AA. Curious what I'm doing wrong, as the mob battles go well(ish) for the first 2-3 battles, except musashi is getting hit really hard, and then it deteriorates rapidly. I scraped by barely on boss node as well, first one was easy but then the 30% debuff made me barely clear

[violet grail]

While you wait for someone knowledgeable on the matter to answer, i'll link you the W15 guide in case you haven't seen it yet: https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15

[little plinth]

yep I've seen that one, it's helpful but I think I'm still missing something. I even tried putting an AA radar on musashi to mitigate but it didn't seem to do much

[woven star]

I rather swap SanD with shimanto for mob fleet but I'm not familiar with w15

[topaz smelt]

sashi only works with aquila

kinda mid without

[red sapphire]

What's ok/good/great to craft in gear lab that does not use electronics?

[topaz smelt]

like almost nothing

[violet grail]

war archives doesnt refund a data key if you retreat right? its not cheeseable the way hardmode campaign is?

[viscid swift]

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

[viscid swift]

you pay when you enter so no

[forest palm]

there's a lot of things that are ok or decent that you can craft in GL w/o electronics, but they just end up being not worth the cost

[red sapphire]

Rip

[red sapphire]

Thanks. I will have a look

[whole dawn]

Chat is this aight
Main
Enterprise
Ticonderoga
Essex/Albion

Vanguard
San Diego
Helena
Anchorage
I'm still building my second fleet idk which fleet to use

[woven star]

Actually a lot... almost all torps, some dd guns, some cl. Most all not necessary but side grade

[forest palm]

again there's very small amount that you'd actually should craft

[red sapphire]

I have 3 quads don't know if I should craft more or something else

[topaz smelt]

its pretty much just 155kai and quad mags

[forest palm]

iirc Saiun Kai doesn't use Electronics

[topaz smelt]

imagine crafting that when you can just get it doing pr4

[red sapphire]

It needs 24

[forest palm]

doing PR4 research in 2025 is questionable

[woven star]

Just few, don't want recheck all others

[forest palm]

no one should be crafting a 17 DP when 155 Kai is just so much better

[topaz smelt]

doesnt the prereq cost elects

[forest palm]

pretty sure it doesn't

[woven star]

Most gold torps from boxes but for subs like g7 without electronics iirc

[forest palm]

also 100 kai is a heavy investment, and the Twin 137 has a small use case

[red sapphire]

I crafted one of those, should I get more?

[forest palm]

Triple 155 kai? they are solid general use CL guns and BB Aux if you are Quad 152 poor

[red sapphire]

Yes one triple 155 Kai

[vital cloak]

do i need to keep playing in stages to level up my Ships?

[topaz smelt]

155kai is terrible intercept gun outside w14

[forest palm]

15 uses the 127, ya?

[topaz smelt]

137

[forest palm]

still outside of that you can just splash the 155 Kai wherever, or just stick to the regular 155

[red sapphire]

What should I use on OpSi?

[topaz smelt]

ye 155kai is good for vgs

[red sapphire]

What is vgs?

[forest palm]

vanguards

[violet grail]

Hey there, I assume you are fairly early on in the campaign and in the game in general? You basically just keep pushing further in campaign until you reach W9 which is the first world with oil cap. But yeah farming campaign is the main way to gain xp for levels. Other than that you can also put ships into the dorm and use xp books.

[vital cloak]

i see, yea im pretty new, i just reached 3-2, but another question, is it worth to spend Gems to unlock more dorm slots for ships?

[violet grail]

you want to get the third slot, after that get second floor, which will copy the amount of slots on first floor. you dont need to go for 4th, 5th , 6th slot

[cobalt robin]

i keep having to reselect all my skins after launching the game, does anyone know a fix to it? I've repaired and reinstalled the game already

[topaz smelt]

137s, 155 normals, i think most gold ap cl guns, and 45 fp for stats

[vital cloak]

ok, i'll try that

[vital cloak]

but like, can i use these gems to spend on a skin first?

[violet grail]

If you are playing f2p, buying a skin will make things a bit harder later. Main thing that will suffer is dock space. But I did buy 1 skin for Oumi, if it makes you enjoy the game more why not I guess, just be aware of the trade-off.

[vital cloak]

i see, i'll get the 3rd slot first then

[violet grail]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/early_ship_recommendations/
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

In case you are interested here's some useful guides for new players.

[vital cloak]

i'll check that

[red sapphire]

Okay thanks

[weary edge]

12-1 gives more xp and more gold than any d-4 event stage right

[forest palm]

yes, D-4 is basically 10-3 rewards w/ 11-1 oil cap

[weary edge]

thx twin

[vital cloak]

i forgot to say, how do i unlock the second floor?

[sweet delta]

Tap the construction sign to expand the floor space 3 times, and then pay 500 gems for the second floor

[vital cloak]

i see, thank you

[violet grail]

oh yeah the expansions cost quite a few decor tokens so you may need to save up on those for a bit if you dont have em.

[weary edge]

yea i think the final expansion is like 1000 decor tokens, the one before is 500 i think? then second floor is 500 gems

[eternal pine]

so like how's the game for returning players?

[grave mantle]

As for me it is the same as before leaving. Several cases of powercreep (which made my unused ships with less use), also you may be sad for missing new URs

[sweet delta]

Better than it is for new players

[forest palm]

[sand igloo]

Should I replace Portland/Laffey with Magdeburg? Beginner newbie fleet

[left cedar]

nope, nothing that make her much better than this both, and she is not something usefull for lategame

keep her in dock to late techstats

<@&460646206851252224> scam bot

[topaz smelt]

wheres my good old mr beast scams

[forest palm]

it rotates I feel

[topaz smelt]

i forgot those bots existed until a came back here

[forest palm]

these types of bots are new-ish I feel

used to be much quieter not long ago

[subtle grotto]

how much gems does it cost to get all dorm and academy slots

[forest palm]

iirc Academy should be 500 + 600, and Dorm should be 300 + 500 + 800 + 1200

as an F2P there no reason to purchase additional Academy slots even less so if you're spender, and F2P should only buy up to the 4th slot past that if you don't mind spending then you should get the 5th and 6th slot

[dark hazel]

not really worth it long-run for more than 6 dorm slots and extra academy slots, unless you have the cash to spare on gems

[forest palm]

6th Dorm slot is massive if you heavily grind

[dark hazel]

I said more than 6

[subtle grotto]

Oh well im level 52 so how much do I even get

[mint flint]

6th as in 6th first floor mayhaps

[violet grail]

just get third dorm slot and second floor of dorm

[mint flint]

otherwise 5th wouldnt exist

[subtle grotto]

but no need for tactical class right

[forest palm]

yup

[subtle grotto]

Ok thank you 👍

[violet grail]

not worth, you end up running out of xp books if you get extra academy slots

[rain bobcat]

true

it allows you to rotate 2 fleets while keeping 120 morale which is massive

[spark patio]

is the event gear good? the eventide’s eve one

[rapid shard]

Its a decent HP aux

[topaz smelt]

prob still worse than a toolbox

[knotty jolt]

ya forgot to mention this part

One of few gear pieces that increases speed and luck

[viscid swift]

this is relevant how?

[knotty jolt]

might aswell show all stats

[viscid swift]

so? it's pretty mediocre with or without that skill, 2 additional luck may as well be a statistical anomoly

[rapid shard]

I dont see how a +2 in any stat really does anything unless it pushes you over some niche threshold like RLD to use the single 113mm over the 76mm

[steel swift]

Where can I get this item?

[rapid shard]

Its a collab item so no way to unless they rerun it

[steel swift]

Collab with what?

[rapid shard]

SSSS Gridman event

[steel swift]

Oh man, what a shame

[sweet delta]

Actually it was SSSS Dynazenon or just SSSS

[viscid swift]

both

[keen zealot]

The tierlist and suchiguma guide have slightly difference recommendation for main gun for Helena.
I have enough blueprint from research for donskoi gun (prototype triple 180m) and on Suchiguma they put it above purple everytime and 2nd best for generalist use, but on EN tierlist it is nowhere to be found.

I am right to assume that the EN tierlist weapon recs just haven't updated for a while?

[rapid shard]

Cant speak to EN list but Suchis is updated nonstop so i would follow that one

[keen zealot]

tks

[eternal moth]

I doubt a purple is gonna be worth the testing time for ECTL

Oh wait, I read that wrong, sorry. Let me look at that gun

[keen zealot]

I assume this thing should be better than the transitional gun then

[eternal moth]

You can always look at overall gun damage on the wiki. https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/List_of_Light_Cruiser_Guns#tabber-Max_Stats

[keen zealot]

sounds like a lot of work for my dumbass ngl

[eternal moth]

It doesn't always tell the whole story as you have to take accuracy and other factors into account, but it should give some idea.

[sweet delta]

Donskoi gun is better than the purple against all armor types even at +10

[crude jetty]

How many tenrais does one need

Is Shimanto better for mob or boss

[quiet kiln]

When will pr6 be coinnable?

[soft raft]

like 1-2
maybe 3 at most

[tacit wyvern]

should I limitbreak hakuhou or shinano, first?

[knotty jolt]

if it's bulins haku

[soft raft]

1. Do you have 4 UR Bullins (or enough specialized core to get 4 total UR Bullins)
2. What other URs do you have?

[knotty jolt]

as you can get dupes of shinano from the pity pool if you need

[tacit wyvern]

smart smart

[knotty jolt]

also you can get a dupe from the newbie missions if you haven't finished them yet

Generally it's better to use bulins on URs that aren't in the perma pool

[rapid shard]

You never want to use UR bulins for permeant URs

[tacit wyvern]

is there a faster way to get the specialized core?

[knotty jolt]

Not really

[soft raft]

Just grind grind grind
you can get a max of 5k from grinding and 3k from medal shop for a monthly total of 8k

This translates to 2 UR Bullins worth of spec core

[knotty jolt]

Do battles, weekly missions, scrapping UR ships and it's slow but you are stuck to the 5k a month excluding the amount in exchange shop

it used to be worse, only 4k a month and no exchange shop cores

[tacit wyvern]

dang, i just decided to play the game again and got hakuhou luckily

but both of you gave me some good advice so Imma follow that, thanks.

[rain bobcat]

either as long as its semi plane heavy

technically mob because of her support skills but putting her on boss if ur auto clearing ch15 isn't a bad idea

[eternal moth]

What are you guys using for mob fleet in OpSi?

[knotty jolt]

Pretty much anything works for a mob fleet so long as it has either Perseus or unicorn

[rain bobcat]

watarase tech

percy boise+BB watarase ibuki+1

[knotty obsidian]

How many should I have for this main gun?

[hollow gust]

3 eventually

[rain vine]

"eventually" being the key word

[soft raft]

at most you only really need like 2-3 copies of any relevant UR gear

[hollow gust]

I mean most people should be on 2nd gun

[eternal moth]

You mean working on 2nd, not have second, right?

[jade crescent]

who is this? I see him for the first time, if this is a bot or a hacked account, then please ban him.

[hollow gust]

Who are you to judge if they should be banned?

[topaz smelt]

ban goosey next

[hollow gust]

If I get banned , Helena is gonna change to Streetlena

[rain vine]

how far into 2nd? im still at 46/50 on first

[hollow gust]

Im slow asf this year and I already finished lmao. Didn't play for practically 2 weeks

[topaz smelt]

prob early 2nd unless theyre gear focus

like sub 20 im guessing

i just finished my 1st

[rain vine]

my research selections have been consistently terrible

[topaz smelt]

and i feel pretty far behind

[hollow gust]

Someone needs to fix their selections

[rain vine]

the game hates me, apparently

[stark quiver]

just decline it lol

[hollow gust]

100% uptime and still no gun is pretty far behind

[topaz smelt]

smh cube harder

[stark quiver]

i have80% uptime and a gun

[topaz smelt]

clearly a skill issue

[viscid swift]

[rain vine]

rng is a skill issue, alright /s

[hollow gust]

Tf ? You don't have a gun yet?

[viscid swift]

No

[topaz smelt]

time to quit and play island

[hollow gust]

The standards are slipping , wtf guys

[viscid swift]

I mean this is partly why

[soft raft]

#1020044605053476994 is that way

[topaz smelt]

last time i cubed i lost 2 pity and ended at 200 cubes from 1200

[stark quiver]

nice one

[hollow gust]

For some reason leewu has been carrying my fleet instead of Magdeburg . POs German battleship

[topaz smelt]

horny elf > whatever that is

[hollow gust]

Beats 13-4 solo

[topaz smelt]

im getting there

[hollow gust]

Okay wth happen there

[stark quiver]

i gear focused > got gun
im also pretty much retired found sth better to play bpsr

[topaz smelt]

i kinda dont care about the gun

youll get 3 from casually doing it anyways and youll likely wont use all 3

[stark quiver]

its pretty useless rn

[rigid onyx]

players when the thing isnt good in current meta fight

[topaz smelt]

only fight in the game

[hollow gust]

The thing with that gun is that it's too fast rn, gonna need more then 1 to sync your girls together

I love my weeb knight so all I need is 2

[topaz smelt]

i havent even look at the gun yet

[hollow gust]

Champog but faster and better

[topaz smelt]

ig its nice for low tech

i feel like this kicks bz out the pool for soy

[viscid swift]

Considering it's realistically the only consistently rotating "hard" content in the game at this point

[topaz smelt]

they should just make meta fights have infinite hp and a leaderboard

[rigid onyx]

make helena great again

[topaz smelt]

maybe something like that will revive the competitiveness of the game
thats not FP or pvp

[hollow gust]

Smh just trying to bring your favorite girl back into the meta

[topaz smelt]

need to bring ranger back somehow

[hollow gust]

Smh we all know it's Lena

[topaz smelt]

lenas the wifey, rangers the secret meetups

[crystal flume]

how do u even get this?

[viscid swift]

Event limited

[crystal flume]

?

so i can never get it?

[forest palm]

I wouldn't even call it Event Limited, it's just currently unobtainable in any capacity

[viscid swift]

Cope they remember to make it permanent some time in the next 5 years

[crystal flume]

... wow

[viscid swift]

Only half joking there to

[forest palm]

Z Flag moment

[crystal flume]

never i found something worse than p2w

[viscid swift]

It was free during the event

Not like you could pay to get it

[crystal flume]

ikr haha damn

and it's meta equip even until now huh truly T2W (time to win)

thanks nonetheless

[forest palm]

there is worse, there's gear that comes from Collabs that'll never see the light of day again

[stark quiver]

o my second goldburn

[carmine osprey]

How can I put npc hestia in my fleet? I can't find her in the formation menu

[knotty jolt]

She's not vanguard she's a mainfleet. Repair ships go into the backline with your Battleships and aircraft carriers

[carmine osprey]

Ohhhh I see thank you

[mighty axle]

guyss, whats the akagi/kaga drop rate.... its soo rare

[viscid swift]

/droprate

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: What are the drop rates for __?
A: Map drop rates are unknown and cannot be datamined, due to being server-side. The only one known is 0.75% for Akagi/Kaga (individually) on 3-4. Community data collection suggests the other gold ship drop rates are somewhat similar, however.

Q: Then where should I farm for __?
A: Farm the highest map you can for it. Higher stages give more EXP, upgrade parts, equipment, and shop currency. Community data collection suggests the drop rates are also probably higher on higher worlds.

[mighty axle]

crazy

[knotty jolt]

Welcome to the fox mines

[viscid swift]

word of advice, come back to it when you can afford to do it cheaply and eifficiently and not stunting your progress

[mighty axle]

yea, ill find em when i dont have anything to do

[red sapphire]

Good morning. Why is raw triple 155mm better than triple 155mm Kai for content other than ch14 as secondary BB gun? I had a look at the weapons and the only diference could see was the HE and HEK ammo types

[viscid swift]

Firing pattern and spread among other things

The 155 Kai has a tendency to miss the smaller and faster moving suicide boats

[red sapphire]

Okay, thank you... That's too advanced for me

[rain bobcat]

155 kai is better for ch14 because it makes it easy to bust through rammers

for suicide boats alone, 155 (the right one) is preferred beacuse it has a higher chance of hitting things atleast once

[red sapphire]

Oh wow. Where can I check that for future weapons?

[rain bobcat]

thats in wiki

[red sapphire]

Okay. Thanks

[vale spindle]

its on the wiki but we stopped after a certain point cause as barrages got more complicated it became harder to create those kinds of gifs so

theres a new gif format that may or may not get added within the next year that we are prototyping but everyone is busy so no timeline on that as of rn

[red sapphire]

No worries, it's perfectly understansable

[knotty jolt]

Wait so the barrage gifs are hand made recreations?

[vale spindle]

not handmade, it was automated and will be automated in the future when we bring them back

[knotty jolt]

I thought they were pulled from the game etc

[vale spindle]

the data is from the game, but you have to parse all the bullets and the equation and the visuals to create the visual in a program

thats why as barrages got more complicated with more skills and conditions and bullet typesetc. it became harder to update this program to generate gifs

[knotty jolt]

[vale spindle]

also the game data structure got overhauled entirely some time ago

[sweet delta]

The new gifs will be pulled from the hacked game

[slow schooner]

does second effect of vh armor plating also trigger the first?

[vale spindle]

no the effects only happen on that armor type
so for light/medium armor it changes to heavy only
on heavy armor you get the damage reduction only

[slow schooner]

i see, thanks

[primal yew]

What's a good gun for Hindenburg or maybe I should craft it

[knotty jolt]

Considering the slim pickings you got, the guns on chesire and drake would work fine or the either or the rainbows.

[primal yew]

I just made this one it's good isn't it

[knotty jolt]

i mean that's her own gun so yeah it's good

[primal yew]

Oh great

[jolly condor]

is eldridge worth retrofitting

[red sapphire]

Yes

[rain bobcat]

run her own gun+what anchorage is using for standard and run what unzen is using over her own gun vs light

[primal yew]

Here's my current UR guns ideally what gun should I try to craft next

I do not have any PR 7-8 ships yet I'm working on Meck

[rain bobcat]

jesus christ stop upgrading things randomly above +10 but not to +13

ur like 1000 gun plates wasted on 457s already

[primal yew]

mb that was like

2 years ago

I just got back so I'm kinda lost

[rain bobcat]

just go through this for gear lab https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab

[primal yew]

tyy

[rapid summit]

Any good way to focus on this gun or just accept and research you see it in?

[knotty jolt]

RNG is a fickle beast, but best course are rigging research. They're very quick and only provide gear prints .

If a purple one appears ya can do it but those are 4 hours when blue are usually an hour

Gold ones are quicker at half an hour but are rarer and costs a decent chunk of coins

may RNG bless you

[rapid summit]

I always went for the gold ones even if I don’t need it

[rapid summit]

I hope they do

[ocean pilot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDEilp5Cil4
halo, i only have 1 afct, what is the subtitution? Type 1 AP shell is enough?
and who use afct?

||wish i can craft like that PR5 gun||

[woven star]

Afct used best you dmg dealer ship

Other ships with HPFCR

[ocean pilot]

i have both, so alsace?

[inland shoal]

The substitute is HPFCR and what Voltic said though if you cap on hit rate it can be better to put the table on the ship with lower hit

[rain bobcat]

just use white shelhpfcr and then then whoever you use afct on won't matter

I wouldn't recommend dumping on black shells unless you are rich or know what you're doing

that guy is using black shell probably because he has traf+chapa combo

[ocean pilot]

pls define rich, pricey or need +13 to be usable?

[rain bobcat]

rich as in has upwards of 700 plates and already has many +13 auxes for backlines and what not

[woven star]

Usually white shell plus HPFCR or AFCT if have. Lion can have yellow shell. Black usually for some specific ships. But most of situations you wand acc stats which black doesn't has

Black boosted crit while don't have hit(acc).

[ocean pilot]

ill copy this, thanks
