gameplay-help

[grave mantle]

Yes

Cheshire is very good - damage reduction, great AA, fast loading torps

[red sapphire]

Okay thanks

[rain bobcat]

chikuma isn't horrible yeah just outclassed by most actual good tanks

[split gazelle]

same for cheshire no?

[grave mantle]

There are less ships that outclass cheshire in tanking

[zenith heron]

can anyone review Northampton 2? Just a Damage Cruiser but not able to tank as much compared to Portland Retro?

Just needing some context while grinding her randomly at 12-4 for tech, even if she might give sad tech

[split gazelle]

@red sapphire is your neptune fs5? or cheshire for that matter

[red sapphire]

Not yet. Cheshite is 6/6 no fs and Neptune is 5/6

[split gazelle]

I'd probably use neptune + kala for tanks

if you can get her to fs5

[red sapphire]

What does cheshire fs5 do?

[forest palm]

absolutely nothing in terms of beneficial skill buffs, it's just +15 Luck

[red sapphire]

Oh I see

[scenic axle]

So besides medals and clearing x-4 stages are there any other ways to get t3 carrier blueprints

[forest palm]

not really the resource is heavily gated

[tulip tinsel]

sometimes pops up in guild shop iirc

wow i was right

8 gold retro matlmao

[forest palm]

that's if you're lucky

[tulip tinsel]

ye its luck same as x4 hard stages

[scenic axle]

I just needed 3 more for Saratoga...

[scenic axle]

WAIT WHAT

[tulip tinsel]

😸

[steel swift]

Where can I get this item?

[forest palm]

nowhere it's lost to the void

[tulip tinsel]

all my luck used on something i dont even need D:

[scenic axle]

Nothing 😔

[olive sentinel]

I think the difference between them at 12-4 is not big.
AA it's more important

[tulip tinsel]

from an event in past, unobtainable rn

[steel swift]

Oh man

[tulip tinsel]

ikr so sad

[steel swift]

No wonder I was having trouble throughout chapter 12, it turns out my AA was too weak

[forest palm]

world 12 doesn't really demand that much AA, certainly nowhere near the magnitude of world 13, or world 15 for that matter

[tulip tinsel]

w13 aa is hell after 12 4

[steel swift]

So which faction can be relied upon for chapter 13 and beyond?

[cobalt rapids]

all the factions

[forest palm]

you don't faction fleet simple as that

[steel swift]

But my fleet 1 is full of iron blood ships and their AA is under 2000

[wind hazel]

well duh, outside of Fritz, ironblood have jackshit CVs

[cobalt rapids]

faction fleets are handicap so u have to compensate harder
people did ch15 will full iron blood

[forest palm]

📣 Don't Faction Fleet

Strasser, Graf Zep, and Fritz can hold relatively well in 12 and 13, but compared to 15 that' bar my as well be close ot the floor

[wind hazel]

if you adapt the best faction in Azur Lane (fact), Eagle Union, you would have no issue with AA, with #1 San Diego carrying

[grave mantle]

Though sometimes it is okay to have half the fleet of same faction

[rain bobcat]

just don't advertise that

use good ships period

[olive sentinel]

And torpedo protection

[turbid marsh]

ram them with them 120s

[olive sentinel]

If all your fleet member are 120 than 12-4 is easy

☝️🤓

[weary edge]

can u coin 2 dr’s at the same time?

[weary edge]

also making sure u have the danger lvl at safe for that 10% dmg reduction

[viscid swift]

you can, it'll be bloody expensive though

[turbid marsh]

you can, but not recommended...

[weary edge]

expensive ash right

[weary edge]

ah okay thx

bc i was thinking of researching agir after fdg but if that’s the case i might just do anchorage instead

anchorage needs 343 blueprints? bc i already will have 300 from the catchup so coining her wont be that expensive right

[viscid swift]

yes

[grave mantle]

I found 7 anni invitation in my inventory and there are 3 ships that I don't have. Which of them would be more useful?
U-81 (I have 2 IB SR subs, that would be 3rd. But I also have Archy, Flasher and I-404)
Joffre (idk where to use her)
Vittorio Veneto (I have only 1 Italian BB better than elite, and that is Littorio. Though I could use her or VV only for research)

[errant cloak]

Is there any way to disable skin projection for pr ships when using them as favorite ship secretaries?

[hollow gust]

Huh?

[safe nexus]

whats the chances to get an elite ship in story?

[polar lion]

How many pts do u guys farm rerun?

[hollow gust]

There are no concrete rates , but it's not that rare

[hollow gust]

Get enough for all the gold plates

That's like the only reason to farm reruns

[hushed sorrel]

usually just a sp per day, its enough for most stuff. there is not really a good answer what you should do. its up to you

[polar lion]

That's like 55k?

[viscid swift]

35k for reruns

[safe nexus]

i keep getting the same elite when i wanted another so i dont think i can spare oil for event atp 😭

[polar lion]

Owh noiceeeu I almost skip this rerun coz I forgor about the event shop chips and milestone plates

[lofty patrol]

How does one stop the weekly "bind your account" thing popping up when it's already been done?

[polar lion]

But oof it's already Tuesday. I miss out on all those multipliers dailies

[red hawk]

what gun is this, and it is worth using

[onyx flame]

its from pr7, and i dont think its used at all

oh wait it got uses for mobbing or heavy boss for ca

[red hawk]

just so many of these guns that look alike

[onyx flame]

its napoli gun

[peak fable]

do you get more purple and gold BP drops on average if you farm the latest hard mode stages?

[onyx flame]

maybe? no one did the math for the odds

but you want to do the highest for core data anyway

[tulip tinsel]

i dont think it matters, only that golds start to drop from 3 4

ye and core data a must

[red hawk]

I haven't even heard of that one lol

[red sapphire]

What's a good BB for mob?

[onyx flame]

depends on what you have and what your mobbing against, i really only know of fdg and musashi (but thats cause i got no clue of anything else)

[red sapphire]

I have Musashi I gues she can do

[rain bobcat]

anything and anyone is fine for mobbing outside of 14/15

though someone that can make your life easier would be musashi/alsace/lion/raffa

[red sapphire]

Should I use Lion for Mob?

[rain bobcat]

you shouldn't need to

most bossing comps take a hit without lion and mobbing can be done completely fine with musashi/raffa

[red sapphire]

I see, then I can use Musashi I think

Or may be non BB

[tulip tinsel]

NJ good for mob and even not that hard bosses

[timid vortex]

What do you need to farm to get milestone done so fast? Event is almost over

[red sapphire]

That currency can be obtained on event stages and missions

[tulip tinsel]

D3 sp anything

[wind hazel]

do all daily bonus, SP, repeat D3 if needed

[weary edge]

just got sandy from daily pull, should i build/retrofit? i heard she's essential for w13

[timid vortex]

fuck me. I can do C3 maximum

[red hawk]

she's definitely worth having, her retro isn't a first prio for cruisers but by the time you're able to do w13 you should be able to do it

[tulip tinsel]

sandy top AA and has decent damage

[wind hazel]

good ship but retrofit can be delayed. just mlb+augment is enough to keep her going until harder content

[weary edge]

okay thanks

[peak fable]

you can get to 40k+ easily by simply doing every event stage once per day

the problem only arises when u cant

[timid vortex]

These 3 are only if you have nothing else to do?

[tulip tinsel]

then do the dailies u can and maybe grind the best one you can

[tulip tinsel]

Yeah no rewards

[onyx flame]

technically island planner have rewards (its just slow and tedious)

[timid vortex]

even on tablet it's annyoing to do

[tulip tinsel]

Not worth the time, takes long and not worth the rewards , u can grind out that 1 affinity a lot faster

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 grinding requires oil...

[timid vortex]

D1 requires CL. Welp...

[wind hazel]

i see CL

[viscid swift]

you might wanna max limit break your Ryu

[timid vortex]

I'm low on yellow bulins. Is she good?

[viscid swift]

solid yes

[timid vortex]

and I'm super low on gear. To the opsi I guess

[wheat ore]

does anyone have any idea why mumu player runs worse than on my phone, like when i scroll in the dock mumu player lags. My pc is pretty powerful and should be able to handle the emulator?

[forest palm]

because emulation is wonky versus an actual client made for the device

[hushed sorrel]

my 15 years old pc is also "powerful" and mumu works fine

[muted wind]

i think mumu just in general can be a bit slow for anything that involves file access? at least that's what it feels like for me.

[red hawk]

my mumu kinda sucks because the laptop im using doesn't have a discrete gpu

[hushed sorrel]

atleast it works?

could be worse

[barren cedar]

good afternoon, is there a place to check how to team build or the characters worth investing in? im new

[red hawk]

it runs, but it's not ideal, better than LD player or blue stacks. I only really use it to run stuff in the background while I'm watching stuff anyway

[wheat ore]

i'm just wondering becuase i have seen youtube videos of people using emulators which runs the game super smoothly and i want to know which one that is

[wind hazel]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

start here

[forest palm]

I have one PC that prefers Bluestacks, and another that prefers Mumu.

[barren cedar]

ty so much

[hushed sorrel]

some of the updates stopped emulators from working and some of that stuff. i used to use blue but it just dont work anymore

[forest palm]

PC emulation is just wonky, and your RIG will work fine with one emulator and not other ones

[wheat ore]

oh 💀

[forest palm]

I can swear up and down that Bluestacks P64 works wonders for me, but some will have a different exerpience

[red hawk]

LD player definitely had issues locking up in combat in azur lane, but worked fine for everything else

[spark patio]

how good is yuudachi retro?

[viscid swift]

Yuudachi META is better

[rain bobcat]

outdated

[forest palm]

outdated is the wrong word

she didn't have much out the gate to begin with

[spark patio]

not good at all?

[viscid swift]

she's okay but really not the resources

[silk helm]

is it possible to grind 10k event points by the reset?

[viscid swift]

yes

[silk helm]

time to lock in

[viscid swift]

why, you still have a day and a half to go before the event ends

[silk helm]

oh okay i thought it was over tmrw, got confused on the dates

[robust nymph]

can you get UR prints from blue rarity q and g?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[sweet delta]

You can check the possible rewards on the project in game . It just doesn't tell you the chances

[glossy lark]

Any recommendations which ships I should prioritize in shipyard

[sweet delta]

The usual recommendation for first shipyard ship is saint Louis because of Portland and Helena being in your fleet

[red sapphire]

Is upcomming event a rerun?

[hushed sorrel]

i doubt we ever had 2 reruns in a row. it should be a new one

[sweet delta]

Considering that they've been announcing a bunch of new ships for the past week

[ivory pawn]

It’s new Tempesta, it’s already announced.

#game-news message

[onyx flame]

seems to be a new banner and a rerun at the same time?

[cobalt rapids]

its new tempesta and old banner rerun

[wheat ore]

i'm having trouble with world 13 atm, these are my 2 fleets. Can someone tell me how to make my fleets better?

[cobalt rapids]

swap enty and ilustrious
level trafalgar and boot jav for a tank
and upgrade ur gear

[wheat ore]

are tanks CL? i'm not sure which ones are tanks

[wheat ore]

this is kinda what i have for frontline atm

[cobalt rapids]

/ehp stuff thats higher than portland

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

List of vanguard ships by tankiness by mebot

[cobalt rapids]

franklin uni illustrious - traf sanrui jav/nimi
lion bz enty - portland helena sandy

[split gazelle]

That calculator factors in abilities right?

[cobalt rapids]

yea

[rocky lake]

#game-news message any of the ships from the upcoming event Worth going for?

[cobalt rapids]

only u can judge em if they are worth to get based solely on their art

oh the rerun, then no

[wheat ore]

is that your suggested fleet setup for me? first one is mob and second is boss?

[sweet delta]

Please judge based on their art and stat hexagons

[novel solstice]

None of the tempestas are amazingly good ships that will replace the URs in your lineup. Their art may be your thing for setting secretaries, though.

[cobalt rapids]

yes

amity is cool ig, luckily shes the shop ship

[wheat ore]

oh okay i was told that i should put lion and trafalgar on the same fleet lol

also who's sanrui or nimi? i'm not sure about the abbreviations

[cobalt rapids]

you can put trafalgar and lion on the same team for single target bossing but sandys aa is more important for boss fleet and helena brings more dmg
so the only place u can put traf on boss is tank
technically she could survive boss so if u level her u can replace portland with her and give port to mob

actl just put sandy tank and traf off tank and theres that

sanrui is saint louis
nimi is z23

[wheat ore]

ah okay ty, but how's sanrui=saint louis 😭 ?

[real folio]

probably jp pronounciation

[viscid swift]

it is

[cobalt rapids]

サン・ルイ

[wheat ore]

oh okay that's fair

[real folio]

date a live collab when? do we get kurumi?

[long hull]

How do I get this for Essex retrofit?

[grave mantle]

There was event several weeks ago

Wait until rerun

[long hull]

And when is that

[grave mantle]

Usually 2 years

[viscid swift]

probably late november and unknown but probably

[viscid swift]

probably next August

[grave mantle]

It is 1 year rerun for such events?

[real folio]

time to stop pulling for anything then, hopefully we get kurumi

[storm olive]

It was for Eldridge retro item, but that's all we have to base it off of

[long hull]

Bru 😭

[grave mantle]

Welcome to Azur Lane, the game of WAITING

[real folio]

Anything out of the lvl 1 any good?

[viscid swift]

kazagumo for your CV fleets potentially and there's a decebt amount of fleet tech there

[real folio]

ive seen the kazagumo name here and there, should i start slowly working on her? later into the game ill start and try to level/ lb them up ...i still cant safely get through chapter 10

[grave mantle]

She is mostly for boss fleet, so work on her if you don't have enough damage from boss fleet carriers

[uneven knot]

i just finished my catchup for fdg should i just coin the rest of the bp while researching pr8 or switch it to pr2

[tulip tinsel]

Coin cheaper

[real folio]

I'm mostly working with these, I can also clear this event D3, manually however

[uneven knot]

🤣🤣🤣

bet i just wanted to make sure :p

[viscid swift]

drop Hakuhou, she's useless at limit break 0, UvH, Roon, Saint Louis as well

[sweet delta]

I've said that twice

[tulip tinsel]

Dont use non MLB ships

[real folio]

I was leveling them up for the requirements in d3

I thought that roon and saint Louis were good?

[sweet delta]

Why waste exp on ships you won't use for another several months?

[warm latch]

theres no reason to because theyre not mlb

[viscid swift]

level up ships that will help you meet the requirements as well as be useful for you

[sweet delta]

Just farm D1

[grave mantle]

Not until mlb and fs

[uneven knot]

also which is more worth the la-9 or the proto quad 305

[viscid swift]

they are, at Dev 30 with their unique augments which they aren't right now

[sweet delta]

Just continue following https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/research-focus/
I believe you already chose 8 so continue with 8

[viscid swift]

we may need to demote kearsarge from niche to powercrept

[uneven knot]

i actually just recently switched to pr8 i’ve got like 12 la-9 bp but im so poor with the aircraft upgrade parts

[grave mantle]

Make a single fleet and try using it:
Unicorn, Akagi, Kaga
Portland, Laffey, Helena

With proper gear they should solo D3

[real folio]

thats what i use mainly

they flop at the boss due to the ammo (0/5) thingy

[cobalt rapids]

akaga

[viscid swift]

do I want to know where all the gold bullins went

[real folio]

kaga and akagi and some other mistakes...also the new jersey mistake too

[grave mantle]

Okay, here is my advice: don't use non mlb ships in large quantities. Throw one, maximum two in the fleet while other ships are good and strong

Basically, use the fleet I listed above and replace 1-2 ships (NOT UNICORN AND NOT PORTLAND) with underleveled ships you want to farm. And they should already be lvl 70, mlb and geared to consistently survive and get xp

[real folio]

i swap out akagi and helena while i farm in chapter 9-1, that i can clear auto..i was trying to get javelin and z23 to 100 level that way, and others obviously

[cobalt rapids]

i think you should follow this advice till u get through ch10/11

[sweet delta]

Don't level Javelin and z23

Helena is so much better than them

[real folio]

i tried it in chapter 10, i need a 2nd fleet just to clear some mobs and i could clear the boss later, with an A

for progressing in content i always use helena. i just swap her out when auto. i think laffey clears things faster

[cobalt rapids]

none of those non mlb ships ure raising will be helpful tho
nj is a compromise

[wheat ore]

one more question, with the order you wrote for the fleet, does that mean franklin would be the flagship for mob fleet?

[cobalt rapids]

yes but it doesnt rly matter

[wheat ore]

oh does it not matter what ships are flagships?

[cobalt rapids]

between those 3 in ch13 it doesnt

[real folio]

i honestly started raising whatever after to try and get the tech points. then i messed up and needed a 2nd fleet...im stuck with this mess. i still dont know what to do for a 2nd fleet and i slap whatever i have together

[sweet delta]

I think you haven't shown your low level ships yet to get recommendations

[real folio]

ill post all of them here? its around 100 of them from UR to R

[viscid swift]

just the Elites, SRs, and URs

and trust me my dock consists of more than 500 level 120s alone, sifting through that much is nothing

[sweet delta]

But you know your dock better than other people's

[real folio]

This is what I have up to the SR and Meta SR

[viscid swift]

get Maryland from the guild shop and start leveling her and Glowworm as well as retrofitting them

[hushed sorrel]

i got a question about opsi. as most of you know you can auto-run explored stages till you run out of actions points or meet one of the stop-options if they are activated (like with akashi).
the question is this auto-run doesnt work on my emulator, it always stops at the very end of the map when the 'you did it' message gets shown. it should just go to another map ... what could i have forgotten to activate? or just a bug?

[viscid swift]

when you get enough Bullins you can max limit break Ryuu

[sweet delta]

Why not wait and see pearl or anne

[viscid swift]

I have 0 faith in a Tempesta ship being useful

let alone them be being able to equip her

[sweet delta]

I have faith they will be better than last year's. And give a free gold demi cannon or better

[real folio]

ill get Maryland and work on what you said, i should have enough next week to lb3 her.

also my gear is fairly bad. (cries in 3 barracuda)

[cobalt rapids]

what message is that
explored ( secured ) stages shouldnt have a message iirc

[violet grail]

could it be you didn't disable TB guidance?

[hushed sorrel]

one moment i need some time to produce a screenshot

[cobalt rapids]

true, since device settings dont sync

[hushed sorrel]

where must i do that?

[hushed sorrel]

i will check that out

the guidance was indeed still activated. I thank you both.

[violet grail]

ooh tempesta starts as soon as fools scales ends? i thought thered be a week of downtime between them. So theres just gonna be 2 event exchange shops at the same time?

[hushed sorrel]

wouldnt be unusual

reruns have often no break after they ended

you loose the ability to produce more fools scales event currency so the shop is only used for those that missed the chance to buy stuff

[violet grail]

well regardless no UR in that banner so still gotta stick to minimal pulls. im finally above 400 cubes now though.

[violet grail]

im mostly just holding off on buying the oil for now, bought most of the other stuff I wanted, figured i might want to be able to save up extra oil for tempesta but maybe its not that big a deal.

[peak fable]

what ships do I equip the High Performance Air Radar on? I assume it's only good for plane content.

[viscid swift]

almost never

[forest palm]

HPAA is basically bait

[peak fable]

nah trust, I need it for 12-1

[viscid swift]

12-1 isn't even considered plane heavy content, or all that difficult

[peak fable]

yeah that was a joke

[viscid swift]

can be difficult to tell at times in this channel

[peak fable]

well well, guess I am not crafting my first ever research bp gear

[robust nymph]

tempesta ships are gonna be available in the same banner of new ships?

i have 320 cubes should i be worried

[cobalt rapids]

non rate up with the new banner or on rate up on their old banner

[robust nymph]

wait huh, so its one of the two and we dont know yet?

[cobalt rapids]

its both
it will be 2 banners

[turbid marsh]

one banner new ships with 2% up rate, and 0.5 for older tempesta ships XD other one would be just filled with older tempesta ships

if i remember correctly

[turbid marsh]

is that google translated?

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[robust nymph]

ah didnt consider it, damn i see i mean ill pull from the banner with both i suppose;\\

[robust nymph]

can you address this question as well so i get depression

[turbid marsh]

so you are skipping collab

[peak fable]

wtf 6% chance for getting a UR? hype? (please dont be bad)

[cobalt rapids]

u should be fine on avg with 320 cubes but depends on ships + just know that theres also a limited collab on the horizon that has a very low chance to ever rerun so spend accordingly

[viscid swift]

Ur means SR here

[peak fable]

oh... :(

[viscid swift]

Funny stuff with machine translation

[turbid marsh]

please see my comment on google translation and switch ur to super rare

[peak fable]

so no URs :(

[robust nymph]

i dont think they release Ur that often we just got hakuhou

[peak fable]

fair point, I started less than 2 months ago, so im not that well informed

so uh... are all tempesta ships useless by default?

[viscid swift]

Well they have 0 AA stat, they use their own unique gear which is not easy to obtain

[turbid marsh]

highly doubt tempesta are getting URs in general, because in reality they are just wood.

[peak fable]

0 AA stat when Im camping in W12 is certainly a great combo for leveling them

eh... I hope they came up with an idea to make them useful

[turbid marsh]

they have main fraction ships to take care of right now, so highly doubt it

[tidal dust]

I hit stage 9 which js where im told i should start leveling and gearing a second fleet, so who should be in fleet 2

[heavy zealot]

Just save?(Already mlb those two that i have there)

[slender turtle]

Vanguard the only useful one of those options

[viscid swift]

Get Maryland from the Guild shop, Saratoga, Centaur, Glowworm, maybe San Fran for now

[sweet delta]

Nelson

Is already lb1 level 37 also same strength as Maryland but with near 100% barrage

[tidal dust]

So second fleet for now nelson unicorn sratoga centaur glowworm san fran? Who should take unicorns spot in the main fleet?

[sweet delta]

Whatever he said, just switch Maryland to Nelson

[tidal dust]

That was only 5 ships i assume ship 6 is unicorn, what should i out in unicorns spot in main fleet?

[viscid swift]

that is already 3 main fleets and that will not be your 2nd fleet there will be rearranging

[sweet delta]

Helena would be the vanguard you add

[viscid swift]

I didn't list a 3rd vanguard because frankly you have no other vanguards worth noting

oh they don't have Helena leveled

[tidal dust]

I see, i had assumed that unicorn eventually slots into the second fleet for the healing. That said, what should i packet level the ships to before they are capable of surviving 9-1?

[viscid swift]

your milage will vary, experiment a bit and see what you'll get away with

and as I said, I just told you to level up 6 ships

your mob and boss fleets will shape out differently

[tidal dust]

I see,how good is panleve? I havent gotten her yet, but ill get her from the shop if she doesnt drop

[viscid swift]

it'll probably look something closer to
Mob: Amagi, Unicorn, Saratoga retro + augment, Ryu, Glowworm retrofit, [filler]
Boss: Nelson retrofit, Enterprise, Centaur, San Fran?, Helena, [filler]

[viscid swift]

I wouldn't use her over Saratoga

[tidal dust]

And i wait on UR until i have the bulins to mlb it right? I should be able to get new jersey from the handbook stuff here soon

[viscid swift]

yes

[violet grail]

Not recommended to use bulins on permanent URs, save them for a limited UR. Just because of how powercreep works with new content.

[tidal dust]

I see

[violet grail]

I've been told to just keep the handbook ticket in inventory unused until ive gotten another 4 copies of that ship from pity from daily pulls. which would take forever anyways. so its not really likely that ship will get used anytime soon.
Basically specialized bulins are being saved right now for Unzen rerun and whatever UR we get in december.

[robust nymph]

is bayard good? does she need any specific setup

and does she have the special 5 more levels after dev30

[sweet delta]

Good
Specific setup she needs is dev 30+
There is fate 5

[robust nymph]

okay just got her, no xp packets so shes stuck lvl68 but i think i have enough prints for fate 1 only so far

harbin is sr so she should be coinable despite season 5 correct?

[ivory pawn]

Correct, she’s coinable.

[robust nymph]

is she great? shes the only dragon empery pr ship so id like to get her

[viscid swift]

Worse than Bayard

[robust nymph]

wait theyre both cl i didnt even realize

cl is usually the tank spot position or whats their role?

[sweet delta]

Hull type doesn't determine role, even if you say usually instead of always

[storm olive]

their role is defined by their skills not their hull type

[sweet delta]

Harbin is general DPS, Bayard is general better DPS plus tank

[robust nymph]

doesn't a certain hull type always match with -> very high hp ship?

[viscid swift]

no

[robust nymph]

oh okay i see

[novel solstice]

In general, hit points will be highest in CBs, follwed by CAs, CLs, and then DDs. But "good tank" is not the same thing as "high HP" -- evasion matters a lot as well, and has the exact opposite trend as HP, plus a number of ships have abilities that are relevant to reducing incoming damage or self-healing which will make them better tanks.

So role doesn't really depend on hull type.

[knotty jolt]

HP means nothing if you just dodge everything

[robust nymph]

okay very interesting ty

i usually tend to just remember each ship what they do and what they are so i never actually even wondered if hull type was the one telling the info

[knotty jolt]

Alot of stuff goes into dictating what a ship does and while hull type might get a general idea it's still to little information to go by and sometimes very unreliable

[tulip tinsel]

PR 5 cant be coined

[viscid swift]

the PRs can

[robust nymph]

chang chun or tai yuan which one do i build of the two?

[viscid swift]

Tai Yuan if you really want a DDG

[grave mantle]

Tai Yuan has self buff if full fleet, Chang Chun buffs NP and DE ships (the buff she gets on herself smaller than Tai Yuan self buff)

[robust nymph]

is there a way to make the middle vanguard unhittable? cause i want to level tai yuan in 12-4 but shes lvl35 and i have no xp data packs

[rapid shard]

Just throw her in 1st floor dorm

Long as you keep food supplied she will jump up to 50-60 pretty quick

[robust nymph]

guess ill send the 1k oil commission

[viscid swift]

Just make sure you can afford all of her gear and retrofit item

[robust nymph]

retrofit item? do i need a special one like for sandy and spite

or you meant like the prints and stuff

[grave mantle]

Special one

[robust nymph]

oh damn.. is it in core shop or where?

[grave mantle]

Prototype shop, 1k specialized cores

[robust nymph]

is it same currency as ur bulin....

[grave mantle]

Make sure you buy the right one, there are three there for three ships

[grave mantle]

Yes, that's the price for missing the original event

[robust nymph]

i see.. thank you

[viscid swift]

Precisely

Partly why the DDGs are not pushed

[stark quiver]

you also need like 1600 ish core data for her gear i think

[grave mantle]

800 for missile and 800 for Tashkent gun?

[stark quiver]

no

[grave mantle]

Oh, wait, not the Tashkent gun, it is her auxiliary item for barrage

[stark quiver]

yes

[robust nymph]

uuh if i look around i assume ill find that info somewhere

closed the game for today

[rain bobcat]

wait

are they putting the 2 events together in a single banner pool

[forest palm]

no

[boreal wagon]

they are doing the same thing they did last year

[dusty gulch]

Anyone wanna recommend a bulion prio order to 6* I-404, Hakuhou, Raffaello, UVH, and Yorktown 2?

[rain vine]

probably hakuhou, i404, raff, yk2, uvh

[rain bobcat]

depends on the rest of ur URS

if you have lion etc and can clear all content then it doesn't really matter too much in fact i would do 404 first

[stark quiver]

why not hakuhou who can clear content better than 404

[rain bobcat]

because if you can already clear content all content and have lion etc, you won't even use hakuhou unless you really like doing IJN CV

[last zenith]

what ship is the prototype vit 2 (vk 107) best for

[viscid swift]

Is it really so difficult just maxing their skills and 125ing all of them and waiting to see which of them proves useful before limit breaking them

[viscid swift]

As always content and fleet dependent

[last zenith]

just in general. I just want to stick it on her and call it a day

[sweet delta]

It's best on any mobbing carrier but may not be your best TB for mobbing carrier

[last zenith]

ok

[scarlet cosmos]

where can i find recommended loadouts for ships? i heard people here dont recommend slaimuda anymore

[ivory pawn]

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

[short wagon]

any predictions of the next UR rerun

[forest palm]

the devs said Unzen

also we don't do predictions in this channel that's for #al-general

[short wagon]

they lowk didnt have an answer, mb

[short wagon]

but thanks

[normal crane]

Unzen rerun when

[viscid swift]

your guess is as good as ours

[undone plover]

is today last day of event?

[wind hazel]

1 more reset to go

[short wagon]

if i have 1.4k free gems what do i spend it on

tactical class slots?

[stark quiver]

thats a pretty bad idea

[short wagon]

whats good idea

[stark quiver]

do /gems in #bot-spam

[median prism]

These 2 worth getting?

[short wagon]

chapayev gun is decent im pretty sure

[median prism]

The other one?

Im mainly short on DD guns

[forest palm]

neither of them are worth the core data

[stark quiver]

and chappy gun isnt worth
just get the Twin 128mm/45 SK C/41 Dual-Purpose Gun Mount from gear lab for dds

[short wagon]

it does say alternatively i can consider the class slots but (not reccomended)

[stark quiver]

do you even need that many

[short wagon]

i made a lot of changes recently and some ships' skills are base

[stark quiver]

2 is more than enough, once you get past early game, youll stop using that many

[median prism]

Then what do i use it on

[hushed sorrel]

2 are fine, you need to think it thought. the free gems are in early game a lot but the gain/time will decrease!

[short wagon]

white shell
black shell

[median prism]

I alr did

[short wagon]

get more

[median prism]

Soo next month

[short wagon]

yea

[hushed sorrel]

3 are a good number since you can swap them between the ships

[median prism]

3 of each?

[short wagon]

my current 1k is from the compensation mail
i spent all my chapter ones on dock expansion and also a skin very early on in the game

[stark quiver]

3 white and maybe 2 black is good

[short wagon]

do you have independance

[median prism]

No

[short wagon]

@stark quiver isnt independance obtained thru this

[stark quiver]

yah

[viscid swift]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[short wagon]

get independance then no

[hushed sorrel]

you might regret the skin one day ... if you want to stay f2p and want to collect a few ships. with the gems you might want to think about the dorm (as written in /gems as far as i know its content)

[viscid swift]

long term all an extra slot will do is eat more skill books

not gonna be overnight but sooner than later you will just start leveling skills for the sake of it and not any practical purpose

[short wagon]

I already regret the skin dw
i regtetted it 2 days after i bought it like 2 years ago

[hushed sorrel]

shit happens

[warped acorn]

if i rerolled the cat and didnt use the token, will the reroll cost still be same the next day?

[forest palm]

cat reroll cost depends on how many talent points you've spent

[rapid shard]

Based off the announcements will there be 2 event build pools or with both be on same with all being rate up?

[forest palm]

it's two separate build events

they've done this a couple times before

[viscid swift]

they can't put the ships from both pools on rate up

there will be the new event pool with the old ships in it but at reduced rates(0.5% for the SRs)

[short wagon]

how do total stats work?
lv120 implac better gear full enhance max skills
less total stat number than a newly retro lv105 essex w worse gear and no enhance

[viscid swift]

you mean fleet power?

[short wagon]

no i mean ship power
like individually

[viscid swift]

yes that's also fleet power

[short wagon]

yea why my l;v120 implac less than a lv105 essex who has worse gear

[viscid swift]

I forget the exact formula but it's based on the total stats of your ships plus gear equipped

[short wagon]

it had less when essex wasnt even in a fleet

[viscid swift]

either way it's a completely useless metric

so don't pay it much mind

[short wagon]

okay

[stark quiver]

FP is the summed average of every unique ship in your dock ships
oh you mean ship fp

[slate siren]

what does gift do instead of oath?

[viscid swift]

increases affinity

[uneven knot]

is sandy retro a must for ch13+

or will i be find with gold aa guns at +10

[soft raft]

Sandy's retro primarily fixes her DPS
which can be delayed somewhat by getting her unique aug

as for if you'll live with gold AA guns, that depends on the specific AA Gun(s) in question

[rain bobcat]

heavily disadvantaged in vanguard dps without retro

and also her retro boosts her AA by like 30% flat

[scarlet cosmos]

when was the essex retrofit event?

[soft raft]

August this year

[scarlet cosmos]

:( damn it'll be some time then

[soft raft]

It'll most likely rerun next August then get perma sometime after

@stark quiver in that 15-4 setup that you made for me, wouldnt Eldridge Retro be tank instead of Z52

[stark quiver]

que

yes

[soft raft]

I'm noticing Z52 consistently being half health and I just saw her die against the 2nd supercarrier node

ok thought so

[stark quiver]

if eld goes poof, try replacing 52 with laffey, but you might lack some dps

[dark hazel]

<@&460646206851252224>

[stark quiver]

what if i dont have telegram

[vale spindle]

<@&460646206851252224>

[stark quiver]

damn, there goes my 97k

[soft raft]

You snooze you lose

[soft raft]

She just went poof against the 2nd supercarrier node as well
idk if I should even bother at this point

Prob gonna try Guam/Eld/Z52 next

[stark quiver]

uhh, try laff or guam then
maybe you do need zuiohu to make it work

[soft raft]

Guam prob better due to how Aqualia's target heal works

I think Z52 keeps hogging her heals lol

Yeah this is going way more smoother lol

[patent thunder]

best way to get cubes?

[sweet delta]

Play daily

[soft raft]

Just do your dailies and dont spam builds on any of the perma banners besides 1 light build per day

Or in the case of reruns, using a build ticket on the rerun banner instead

[patent thunder]

ah i have just been doing that i barely build on the perma banners. just wanted to see if i could do anything else to get more. tyty 🫰

[soft raft]

at that point you pray to comission RNG

[rain bobcat]

the double dd strat is for raffa+zui or atleast raffa

because it needs big burst heal

[zenith heron]

can anyone review Northampton 2? Just a Damage Cruiser but not able to tank as much compared to Portland Retro?

Just needing some context while grinding her randomly at 12-4 for tech, even if she might give sad tech

[flat oak]

Is Yuudachi meta good?

[soft raft]

+1 CA HIT isnt too bad but it's low prio compared to FP
as for her tankiness, prob somewhat better than Portland

[rain vine]

according to ehp chart, shes less tanky than portland retro

[slow fox]

very sad

[rain vine]

better than yuudachi retro

[agile patrol]

should i pull on the event banner with cubes?

i have Clemenceau already. what about guichen?

i dont think its worth it personally.. idk

[rain vine]

how many cubes do you have?

[soft raft]

Eh
esp if you have less than 400 cubes
and esp if you dont have Unzen (who's rerun is soon™)

[agile patrol]

505

[rain vine]

probably pull a little bit or save
you want to be above 400 for UR banners

[flat oak]

Wonder if Unzen banner comes first or the rumored double UR event

[agile patrol]

the. rumored double UR event?

nvm im skipping guichen then. my cubes need to be stashed

[soft raft]

he's purely speculating right now
but there is precedent for double UR Banners like the one we had last month

[rain vine]

which one was that? hakuhou?

[soft raft]

yes
Hakuhou with I-404 as the shop UR

[rain vine]

yeah, thats been a thing for a while
im assuming theyre referring to 2 URs in the banner itself, which theres isnt a precedent for

[zenith heron]

[bright tusk]

Is yukikaze with twin 550 to spam barrage deal less damage than using torps with better damage

[sweet delta]

Purple triple 550 will likely get the same number of salvos

[vocal niche]

2 banners coming!?

[viscid swift]

one new and a rerun yeah

[soft raft]

And no build tickets for the rerun banner either

[tidal dust]

where do you find the loadout lists for ships like that one showing yuudachi?

[viscid swift]

this? suchi created it himself

[scarlet spindle]

What ships pair well with Indianapolis and Portland i have a tri CA vanguard

[tidal dust]

is there a place that has a list of them for various ships, like top 3 loadout or something?

[scarlet spindle]

Rn its Indianapolis, Portland,and Guichen i think but shes a cl

[viscid swift]

no because suchi doesn't hate himself enough to create one for every ship in the game

this covers most ships though
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide

[rain vine]

any reason why youre trying to specifically use an all CA vanguard as opposed to just using good ships?

[viscid swift]

Indianapolis is shit so don't use her

[scarlet spindle]

Nah rep home state

I have to

[viscid swift]

do that later on when you won't potentially be handicapping your progress

[scarlet spindle]

I cant pull Indiana s9 Indianapolis will have to do

[viscid swift]

i.e. when you get W12

[scarlet spindle]

W12? Im on 4-4

[viscid swift]

chapter 12

[rapid summit]

any Ur supposed to come out before Unzen?

[tidal dust]

when it comes to research do i always just choose the shortest time within the tier?

[viscid swift]

give this a read
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

unlikely given the next new UR event isn't until december

[scarlet spindle]

Ill take a pic which do u recommend?

[rain vine]

this or something very similar

[rapid summit]

Okk

[viscid swift]

for just about everything exceot Qs, after the 30 minute researches I preffer longer

[scarlet spindle]

I can make any of them level 70 to match my other ships

Except Cleveland i despise her...

Once the pic sends

[scarlet spindle]

My current is enterprise new Jersey Colorado indy Portland and guichen

I only use guichen cause i like the ship irl (the Chateaurenault not the cruiser)

[viscid swift]

ok

[scarlet spindle]

What should i use

[tidal dust]

If i enhance gear and then upgrade that gear via the gear lab, does the enhancement go with it, do i get plates refunded or just lose the enhancement

[viscid swift]

all plates are refunded

[tidal dust]

Ryu is really good

[rapid summit]

Are these the daily missions people talk about in opsi and if so when do I unlock it?

[viscid swift]

what else have you got to work with, namely detroyers since the subject is vanguards

though really that entire fleet probably needs reworking/replacing

[rain vine]

yes
after clearing chapter 4 of opsi story

[scarlet spindle]

It will take awhile to send

I like french destroyers

[rapid summit]

Where to see the chapter I’m on?

[scarlet spindle]

But vauquelin is hideous

[viscid swift]

ok

[scarlet spindle]

3/4 sent my fleet 2 is all destoyers

[rain vine]

in the opsi ui
information at the bottom -> story

[rapid summit]

Okk I’m on chapter 3-2 ty

[scarlet spindle]

@viscid swift

[viscid swift]

read the newbie tips I linked earlier but among other things right now you should be consolidating on one fleet right now not 2

[viscid swift]

what main fleet ships have you got

[forest palm]

[long hull]

I need help choosing one I forgot I had this in my depot and I didn’t use it before should I choose jof or tal? The rest of the ones in options I already have

[viscid swift]

Tallinn you can get from grinding the WAs so

[rapid summit]

Is it possible to see how much hours you have on Azur lane?

[long hull]

So I get Joffre?

[viscid swift]

That's What I'd do yes

[viscid swift]

No

[rapid summit]

Not even memory lane?

[viscid swift]

No

[rapid summit]

That’s sucks

Ty anyway

[still fiber]

is there a workaround , if i want to develop goluen leeuw but i do not own any tulipa ships ?

oih nvm

i just read it fully, it states i can do it with italian and german ones haha

[forest palm]

the power of reading is truly something

[tender cargo]

which event banner is worth pulling?

[grave mantle]

If it contains UR ship

[tender cargo]

ye fair, but upcomming ones

like 2 in one period, i need to choose since limited cubes T_T

[grave mantle]

There would be unzen rerun soon

And tempesta ships... I've never seen them being actively used

[rain vine]

they all have an AA stat of 0, so they cant do anything against planes

[spark patio]

which should i priotize? lving ships or grinding exp for AVP?

[tender cargo]

where is this said?

[rain vine]

can just do both by putting some ironblood main fleet ships that need exp in your mob fleet for w12 farming

[grave mantle]

It is calculated by people here based on usual amount of URs per year and the standard of 2 years between original event and rerun

[onyx flame]

already announced during the jp anni stream plus rerun order, only thing we dont know is when

[tender cargo]

oo neat thanks! than if understand it correct wait till unzen and save my already non existent cubes

[grim notch]

uhh I can't play island planner game is crash -_-

[spark patio]

no skin ?

[red sapphire]

Finally... Took an eternity but finally...

I develop her after Ancho and pair her with Zwei?

[wind hazel]

you barely have any of her BP lol

[rain vine]

shes gonna be garbage for several months

[red sapphire]

So... I wait?

[split gazelle]

You wait until you have like 513 of her prints.

[red sapphire]

How do I get that much?

[split gazelle]

Several months of research academy

[red sapphire]

How does people have her maxed?

[split gazelle]

Spending lots of cubes

[wind hazel]

the same way

[red sapphire]

Any tips for speeding up the process? Don't know if event shop bp are PR8

[spark patio]

click on detail

[wind hazel]

do ship focus if you wanna speed up

[scarlet cosmos]

Is Daisen still best SR BB

[red sapphire]

I can't focus PR8 right?

[rain vine]

cant really speed up the process, youre fairly reliant on rng giving you good researches

[wind hazel]

you literally have to focus series 8 if you want meck BPs

[red sapphire]

I mean, ships

[wind hazel]

???

[rain vine]

pr8 catchup doesnt exist yet

[rain vine]

thats catchup, not focus

[wind hazel]

there isn't even one for 7, let alone 8

[red sapphire]

Oh my bad. Yes focus is on 8

Well... let's see if I can get thos BP this year

[wind hazel]

no, but still top 3

[red sapphire]

Those are the prio to take on research academy right?

[wind hazel]

yes

[red sapphire]

Okay, tysm

[fiery pelican]

a must?

[red sapphire]

Yeah

Best SR CL gun

[fiery pelican]

when is it ending bro? i never opened the app

[red sapphire]

No idea

[rain bobcat]

you have 20hrs

[spark patio]

how many breguet should i have?

[wind hazel]

0-3

[red sapphire]

We have no clues about tomorrow's event shop right?

[spark patio]

maybe Pearl will on the shop cuz she didnt have rate up

[wind hazel]

there are two new meowfficers?

[civic prairie]

Is peter strasser worth to build?

[rain bobcat]

no

[wind hazel]

for tech, or if you need mainfleet ship for pr grind. otherwise pretty forgettable

[spare harbor]

is it worth mlbing ulrich for fdg construction xp

[split gazelle]

No

[spare harbor]

im a little short on the iron blood main fleet department

do i js use random purple ships

[split gazelle]

You can still use her to gain xp without mlbing

[spare harbor]

isnt she fragile af without mlb
someone said urs without mlb are no use

[rain bobcat]

you can farm with them, they're just dogshit when ur trying to do something other than 12-4 safe and such

[spare harbor]

oh lit i can use with double xp for a while

[wind hazel]

you can use elite to farm FDG as well.

[spare harbor]

how do people who've finished main campaign get xp for dr then

[solid delta]

Is there a weapon tier list of somekind

Specifically I want one for bb guns

[spare harbor]

like im on w11 and i havent even unlocked fdg
how do people get enough xp for all other drs and prs

[wind hazel]

you... just grind them?

[spare harbor]

grind where lmao
when uve finished w15

[wind hazel]

w12 where else

[spare harbor]

oh ok

[rain vine]

um
12-1 or 12-4?

[warm latch]

w12 or event

[rain vine]

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

[warm latch]

you just use ships from the right faction and youll eventually get there

[rain bobcat]

no one grinds PR on stages harder than 13-4 lmao

just makes things annoying and less efficient

as long as you have oil and have a degenerate amount of time you can finish a the 3 million exp within 2 days

[spare harbor]

which world is endgame
14-15?

[rain bobcat]

the 7 day mandatory wait is a muchlonger time than you actually need to finish the exp part

[rain bobcat]

15

14 kinda gets hard but still quite easy

[spare harbor]

nd after w15 u js play opsi and wait for events?
and develop ships

[rain bobcat]

well you wont really do w15 without doing opsi and a lot more things unless you wanna make it more difficult than it already is

[rain vine]

you should be playing opsi way before you even get to 15

[rain bobcat]

theres people who have stacked accounts and haven't done w15

[spare harbor]

ok incredible i should slow down
thx

is staggering cvs a big issue in 14-15
cuz i dont get a single bit of it and currently im doing fine without it

[rain bobcat]

its a massive help

[spare harbor]

👌

[wind hazel]

maybe your fleet is staggered and you just dont realize it

[spare harbor]

how do u check
is there like a time delay stat that i havent figured out yet

[wind hazel]

just check the ingame of your CV. but that doesn't include skill/gear effect etc

[spare harbor]

alright
ill just
cross the bridge when i get to it

It’s this anywhere close to 14-15 requirements 😭

[wind hazel]

w14 sure, 15 5/6 useable

ideally wanna drop shinano for something better too

[spare harbor]

iwhat isnt shinano a good ur cv

[wind hazel]

not the best at 15

[spare harbor]

i didnt manage to get hakuhou🌾

[wind hazel]

she probably wont be that much of a use either

[spare harbor]

alright ill figure it out sometime
tyty

[rain vine]

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

[spark patio]

ch15 dont have heeavy enemy?

[balmy skiff]

how op is Lion compared to BisZwei?

[wind hazel]

there are, but shinano hakuhou both dont have the best fighter efficiency and slots. other UR like Essex Yorktown2 are much better in handling the AA in 15

[rain bobcat]

all medium with one light on 15-4 for boss

[wind hazel]

15-2 are literally heavy duo wtf are you saying lol

[rain bobcat]

ise is heavy?

[spare harbor]

holy chopped i needa wait for yorktown rerun to beat endgame

[wind hazel]

both ise and hyuga are heavy

[spark patio]

Hakuhou is good but not for ch15, right?

[wind hazel]

i mean she's preferred over shinano but that doesn't mean you can't attempt with shinano lol

[rain bobcat]

ok but not preferred

[wind hazel]

like you can try with amagi hakuhou no problem, as long as your fleet is good, gear is good

[azure sage]

hey commanders, i have a question
what is the best way to farm coins?

[wind hazel]

grind 12-4 or 13-4

[azure sage]

thanks

[red sapphire]

Trafalgar should use Quads or Rainbow Quints surface torps?

[wind hazel]

quad

[red sapphire]

Okay

Would this be a good setup? I don't have Sextuple yet but I will use roomba until then

[wind hazel]

use 76, you probably dont have the rld to make use of 113

and hammer aug give her slightly more damage

[red sapphire]

Okay, thanks

[gilded carbon]

too late. Rerun was already months ago

[real folio]

hello, are d3 in event good to farm? even in semi auto? (semi meaning i have to pick the targets to battle)

[wind hazel]

less than a day to farm there. but why you wanna semi auto

[real folio]

i cant do full auto, i can barely clear 9-4 on full auto tbf

[gilded carbon]

Wanna Show your Fleet and collection. Maybe that can be changed

[real folio]

i did yesterday and i got advice on raising glowworm, maryland and ryuu. if you want i can resend the pictures here in a couple of min?

[wind hazel]

nah no need

[gilded carbon]

If you already had that Talk, then its good

[real folio]

well im trying to level them up, but honestly i dont know where and how to use them. probably 2nd fleet?

[wind hazel]

you should be able to auto D3 though, your fleet is fine

i see lv110 2LB NJ, she should plow through enemies with unicorn lol

[real folio]

tbh i havent tried it since i lb2 New Jersey, but it didnt clear it all the time then

i just got the 406 royal navy gold main gun too

[wind hazel]

just stick to purple mk6

[real folio]

is it better than the gold one?

[wind hazel]

yes, the gold one is shit

gold doesnt mean it's good, rarity isn't really a good indicator in this game

[real folio]

oh my god, and i +10 it too damn

i thought it was better lol

i also got the gold 356mm one

[shell willow]

its garbage

[rapid shard]

Purple triple 406 Mk6 will be your best friend for quite a while for BB main guns

[real folio]

pfff i seriously thought that if its gold it should be good

[wind hazel]

the worst gun in the game is a gold one

holy shit dev listened

[split gazelle]

[real folio]

what about the rest of the gold ones? the torpedo ones and so on?

[split gazelle]

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

[warped acorn]

whats that

[split gazelle]

ship that was unavailable for a long time I think. which caused most people to never be able to get 100% collection

[forest palm]

Uranami was a DD only available from an event in Feb 2020

[tulip tinsel]

Is event tickets gone tmr

[forest palm]

the event build is gone tomorrow, so yes

[boreal wagon]

and 2023

[red sapphire]

Is that a ship?

[forest palm]

just a shitty DD that got lost in the void and collectors couldn't get her
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Uranami

[red sapphire]

Oh I see

[turbid marsh]

🙁 so when they gonna bring the 5th anni frame back

[gilded carbon]

Never?

[forest palm]

it's a commerative item I don't know what else to tell you other than build a time machine

[turbid marsh]

yeah forgot to collect 🙁 oh well its not like this is the only thing missing anyway.

[ashen saffron]

so i have the Wattage Amplifier for Eldridge how do i ues it ?

[weary gust]

The Retrofit tab in dock on Eldridge, it is used in the 2nd to last node.

[red sapphire]

<@&460646206851252224>

[peak fable]

i sent my meowfficer in OpSi to search, but there are no more nodes except a teleporter in the map, does using the teleporter abort the search or finish it?

well, not like I have many choices really lol

[wheat ore]

is the steam catapult the best option for cv and cvl?

[wary hawk]

It aborts it
Walk around until its finished

[peak fable]

kk ty

[peak fable]

yes the golden one is goated and BiS on most

[red sapphire]

Yes, unless you need some kind of sync

[wheat ore]

so I should put double steam catapult on them?

[split gazelle]

yes

[wheat ore]

ty

how about the purple oil tank? is that okay also?

[red sapphire]

Use it as placeholder if you lack of gold steam catapult

[wheat ore]

okay 👍

[red sapphire]

If you don't want to spend too much leave it +6

[wheat ore]

oh i have a bunch that are +10 lol cuz that waas the best i had back then

[red sapphire]

Don't worry, you can use them

[red sapphire]

Take this as reference

[wheat ore]

oh ty, for my bb and bc I use 1 white and 1 black shell, is it better to use 2 white according to this then?

[red sapphire]

No, passives doesn't stack

On the picture is not displayed to combine two white shells

[tender locust]

where is the campain guide?

[wheat ore]

oh i misread that, lmfao. Btw where did you get that picture cuz i don't think it's in the equipment guide

[sturdy crater]

So im doing combat data collection for Neptune and it says ‘using Royal Navy Vanguard ships’ what ship girls fall under that? I tried sorting in the options but it just shows the same ones in my dock.

[wind hazel]

filter these, use any 3

[sturdy crater]

I did

Used them all, and the exp counter didn’t go up

[wind hazel]

show me

[red sapphire]

Vanguard ships are the ones that are on frontlane. The ones you move with the controls

Aren't they?

[wind hazel]

yes but we are not asking what is vanguard

idk why you suddenly explain what vanguard means

[wind hazel]

now show me neptune progress in your shipyard

[red sapphire]

He did ask for the shipgirls that fall under "royal navy vanguard ships"

[sturdy crater]

Literally the only one left is the 2mil exp collection which is at 33%

[wind hazel]

so you're getting exp. where are you grinding?

[sturdy crater]

literally anywhere, using the vouchers too

oops wrong reply

[wind hazel]

wdym anywhere lol, be specific

go grind at ch12, you'll get somewhere 1% per sortie

[sturdy crater]

Event, story

[wind hazel]

more or less, i think less

[red sapphire]

Vouchers doesn't count. I think it's battle XP

[wind hazel]

event has lower exp than ch12 so you won't notice the progress move that much

[sturdy crater]

okay so itll be harder than my iron blood exp grind 😭

[wind hazel]

it will be the same

[sturdy crater]

i do have way more KMS than i do HMS all them subs

[wind hazel]

you can speed it up by using 3 on mob 3 on boss

[gilded carbon]

Relax. Its a Marathon, not a Sprint. You will get there in time without draining Ressources overly

[sturdy crater]

NEED MORE SHIPGIRLS

Meta? More like i pull and grind for them to put in my collection and then say yayyyy

[wind hazel]

[silk helm]

for those farming w12, my vangaurd kills the enemies too fast that my main can't MVP. any fix? weaker guns on vangaurd?

[wind hazel]

take the W, because vanguard grinding is hell

[silk helm]

dangg alright then

[split gazelle]

wait your vanguard is getting mvp?

or am I reading this wrong

[rapid shard]

Yeah if vanguard is grabbing MVP while normal xp grinding take that W before the main starts taking all the extra xp away lol

[sturdy crater]

Usually but sometimes the iron blood subs steal the mvp

[rapid summit]

Is Musashi before or after unzen?

[atomic abyss]

musashi reran last year and is waiting to be added permanently

[rapid summit]

Yeah that’s what I mean…mb

Permanent in banner or war archives tho?

[warm latch]

both

[ivory pawn]

Both. Event to WA, banner ships to perma banner.

[rapid summit]

I believe there isn’t any Ur in war archives she’ll be the first?

[warm latch]

no

[pale vault]

Would Brest replace Drake in mob fleet once I get her to Dr30? I’m like 40 bp away.

[ivory pawn]

Her event, with the respective drop ship that is not Musashi, is added to War Archives to play.
Musashi and her fellow banner ships will be added to the perma banners.

[forest palm]

Brest would tank better

[pale vault]

and then should i put kronst in my barrage fleet?

[patent thunder]

what do they mean by secrets? like secret skins?

[wispy cosmos]

secrets are asmr type content

[viscid swift]

5 minute asmr vid

[wispy cosmos]

speaking of them, what's their rerun schedule thus far

[patent thunder]

ou

[wheat ore]

what are secrets?

[split gazelle]

read a few messages above

[wheat ore]

oh okay

[stoic horizon]

Are there any HMS Vanguards save Trafalgar or Plymouth maybe worth raising for end-game or is it mostly just those two?
(Working on Ply Research rn, kinda want to side-level some HMS shipgirls too)

[pale vault]

not me looking at the tierlist after missing the last 2 years

[acoustic granite]

Anyone knows the locations of the map pieces or even what to look for in the island content??

[stone sluice]

We get a new event tomorrow?

[pale vault]

tempesta

[cobalt rapids]

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

[stone sluice]

So I should save up some oil for it

[cobalt rapids]

u should be able to clear the important milestones and shop even if u start on 0

[median prism]

Is tallinn a good replacement for portland

[turbid marsh]

might as well just keep using portland at this point

[median prism]

I mean im also trying to get roon

[pale vault]

roon is good

what tanks do u have?

[median prism]

Portland.

Thats why im trying to replace her lol

[pale vault]

roon u is in the core shop

[turbid marsh]

dont really need to replace portlant until w15 tbh

[viscid swift]

Bad idea

[median prism]

Nah i am getring the PR Roon

[pale vault]

idk

i havent played in years

[median prism]

...

[pale vault]

until recently

[viscid swift]

Well things have changed over the past few years

[pale vault]

looks at level 120 roon u

[sweet delta]

Roon mu hasn't been relevant for years

[median prism]

Im gonna replace Z23 with Ayanami is that a good idea

[viscid swift]

Not particularly

I'd argue that's a downgrade in most cases if anything

[turbid marsh]

why you want to replace portland? she is good enough for campaign until w15 tbh

[median prism]

The purple irks me

[tulip tinsel]

bro dont use portland until w15 max 12

[viscid swift]

I'd be questioning more if they can afford to direct the Bullins to Tallinn

[median prism]

Ive got like 8 gold bulins

[pale vault]

why is w 15 better than 12 for farming? I havent pushed past 12

[viscid swift]

Yeah and I somewhat doubt Portland is the only replacement you want to make right now

[viscid swift]

It isn't

[turbid marsh]

thats late game for musashi/raff enjoyers for frontlines and cog chips

[median prism]

Helena and z23 are fine no?

[split gazelle]

question, besides gems and status. Is there a reason to pass ch12? I guess for hardmode?

[median prism]

Same with oumi, enterprise and unicorn

[pale vault]

is there a point to pushing or should i just wait until there is literally nothing else to spend oil on

[turbid marsh]

collection too.

[viscid swift]

You should probably look to a 2nd fleet then

[pale vault]

what ships do u have? im curious

or is it like JUST JUST started

[median prism]

Neptune, Javelin, Asama
Hakohou, NJ, Volga

Thats my wnd fleet rn its basically just my next best stuff thrown together with minimal thought

[viscid swift]

Are they all max limit break?

[pale vault]

who are u gonna pick up at next pity?

true UR bullins

[median prism]

Only javelin and volga

Neptune is Dev lvl 20

[viscid swift]

Well that's not really a 2nd fleet then

Drop everyone but them then

[pale vault]

UFFF yeah nj isnt rlu doing much neither is neptune

[median prism]

Thats kinda why i wanna get a replacemenr for portland so i can throw her there

[viscid swift]

And start leveling ships you can actually max limit break for the 2nd fleet

[viscid swift]

Just post your dock at this point

[pale vault]

yeah i wanna see

day definitely has better advice im just curious

[median prism]

Ignore chardybis in fleet 2 im aware shes god awful

She was the first SR i got so naturally new player see fancy yellow = brain aneurysm

[viscid swift]

Centaur, Nelson retrofit, Ryuu, Glowworm retrofit

Get those leveled up for the 2nd fleet

[median prism]

Ryu lion?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[median prism]

So Volga and... Neptune? Are alright?

[viscid swift]

Volga is

You haven't got any other not worthy vanguards hence why I didn't list another

But no I would not use a dev 20 Neptune

[pale vault]

ur coining her daily right?

[median prism]

Thats why i wanna get tallonn from WA

[turbid marsh]

sandy is a bit expensive so im not recommending that until you have 12 gold bulins and rich enough for 4 UR bulins

[viscid swift]

You don't have the bullins for that

Sandy with just her unique augment is fine

Ryu can mob tank

[split gazelle]

@viscid swift trying to expand my knowledge here, why is it that san diego, from what I see usually not recommended as tank for newer players even though she has decent Ehp values? Is it because she's lacking bulk prior to retrofit or am I missing something else here?

[turbid marsh]

you are looking at ehp value in w15, which has a lot of aa and planes that taken as factor...

[viscid swift]

are you looking at her pre or post retrofit eHP

[split gazelle]

post retrofit, couldn't find prior hence the question about bulk yeah

[viscid swift]

well there you have it

[split gazelle]

oh I see, is she worse than portland pre-retro?

[viscid swift]

much worse

[split gazelle]

I see that makes sense, thanks.

[viscid swift]

not that I really trust Sandy to main tank even post retro

[split gazelle]

yeah that's fair. a 2nd tank is usually a bandaid fix to reach ch12 anyways until you get anchorage or the likes.

[real folio]

honest noob question..why would san diego need 4 ur bulins? i know she turns into UR from her retrofit...if shes already max lb do they get refunded? how does it work?

[turbid marsh]

she doesn't need ur bulins, however, her retrofit is half a ur bulin

[red sapphire]

Sandy needs SRs

[turbid marsh]

therefore, i wouldn't suggest NEW players to immediately go for sandy retro + ue because with that amount of resource, you can probably get 2-3 pretty decent gold ships up to speed

[real folio]

ok thats fair, i havent looked at her retrofit demands yet, i was curious since i landed a copy before. ill focus on what i have to retrofit for now then, thanks

[onyx flame]

you dont have to retro her for her to be useful right away, aug and mlb is enough till like w12 or 13?

[turbid marsh]

I was going to say aug is enough for 12-13 as aa carry + some mob clear, but i think there are better options for 1-11 tbh

[real folio]

im slowly cruising through chapter 10, so far i havent had any actual problems..except the massive oil for a clear

[turbid marsh]

then dont even worry about it, just touch grass or watch a movie or something, get on every like 1-2 hours for comissions and you get like what, 3-4k oil perday or something

[real folio]

thats give or take what i do, im a bit stingy for the oil, but it has to be done eventually..at least i hit a wall

[narrow kiln]

Can you tell me briefly about the Tempesta cats?

[turbid marsh]

still pretty high given the fact that there is oil limit? i guess someone is grinding too much XD

[real folio]

im on my first clear of it, i also have to do each stage 3 times (500 oil a clear)

[viscid swift]

You need unique augment at the absolute minimum

[real folio]

me? if me , do you mean the little toy laffey needs? as an example im talking about

[viscid swift]

No I mean Sandy's

[real folio]

ah, but the augment is that slot though?

[viscid swift]

What

[turbid marsh]

me no understand

[real folio]

This thing here

[viscid swift]

Yes

We know what the augment slot is

[real folio]

i didnt though

thats why i was wondering which one you were talking about

[uneven knot]

next pr ship?

[summer niche]

Aws, guess I can't complete the event.
Next question, should I grind event levels to get some last resources, or should I just go back to main campaign?

[real folio]

a 2nd fleet should count for the requirements though?

[sweet delta]

Sandy MLB augmented without retro with some random good gold gun is already about as good or better than Laffey retrofit augment with mog gun

[summer niche]

Oh, lol. I was told running with one Fleet as a newb was most efficient, so I didn't even think of that. xD

[real folio]

dont worry, im in the same newb basket 😛

[summer niche]

Looks like it drags my average level down too far. xD
Guess I'll have to try removing the low level ones one by one.

[sweet delta]

Or remove them all and add only 2 ships

[real folio]

that would definitely work, you dont have to use them, just have them there sitting pretty

[safe nexus]

is there a reason i cant get hilyou from 12-2?

[summer niche]

Best I could manage. Equips could probably get the FP up, but 30 EVA seems rough.

[novel solstice]

RNG fail. I've gotten her there.

[safe nexus]

i played so much and get vestal and clevenland so much 💀

[summer niche]

Could probably get it if Hakuhou wasn't tied up, but not sure it's worth pulling her out since it's half done.

[real folio]

do you have any DD ships? they have a lot of EVA, remove ranger if yes

[summer niche]

Lol, now level's too low.

She's my highest level after Javelin.

[sweet delta]

Well the second fleet isn't counting at all because you don't have a vanguard

Graf and Eugene would be best but still not be enough levels

[vestal pawn]

Is Yuudachi just not very durable? I have her in the middle slot but it seems like she always takes the most damage

[summer niche]

Whenever I try to put someone in the center slot it slides them to the left and leaves vanguard empty.
[Edit: Oops, brain substituted terms. Somehow thought Vanguard meant Flagship when I read that.]

[vestal pawn]

I have Yukikaze in the first position, but I had figured Yuudachi would be pretty safe in the second slot

[viscid swift]

levels, gear, etc

[vestal pawn]

117 Yuudachi and 123 Yukikaze. full enhancement and max skills on both, Yuudachi Retrofit is fully completed. only difference in gear right now is gun and torpedoes; Yukikaze has +10 twin 100m type 98 high angle gun and 533mm Quintuple magnetic torpedo (purple), Yuudachi has +10 B13 Twin 130mm B-2LM Main gun and 533mm Quintuple magnetic torpedo (Yellow)

[grave mantle]

Weapons doesn't matter in survivability in your question. What is in their auxillary slots?

[vestal pawn]

aside from the augment because Yukikaze has her uniquie item

[vestal pawn]

x2 +10 Repair toolkits

[grave mantle]

Yuu has less hp but more evasion if on the same level as Yuki, so in my opinion it is just a lvl issue

[viscid swift]

where are you using them?

[vestal pawn]

yes, about 500 more HP, but Yukikaze is ffront and Yuudachi is center

Also, Is Azuma better for boss fleet or mob fleet? or does it matter?

[uneven knot]

next pr
