[uneven knot]

hey guys which pr do u think i should go for next?

[inland shoal]

With no context that question is impossible to answer

[uneven knot]

i made a thread it should have some pics of my dock

i only included the SR/UR ships tho since those would be most relevant

[inland shoal]

Oh sorry I somehow missed the thread, guess I'm blind

[uneven knot]

it lowkey is hard to see

[pale vault]

Hey so I’m just getting into operation siren and this is my gear, what are the first things I should work on crafting?

i just crafted the gold twin shot ap bb gun the one that upgrades to the ur one

[knotty jolt]

Depends on what you need

also how do you got all this and are only just getting into opsi

[pale vault]

um mega casualed the game for a year, skipped 2 years then just got back and am tryinfg to get better

my best fleet is battleship

working on clearing hard arbiter for the first time

still kinda working on best fleets

[knotty jolt]

Looking through you got plenty enough good gear, all I can think of would be flapjacks fighters and wyvern torpedo bombers

[summer niche]

Welp the time has come. Dock space is too cramped. Do I need to dump all the grays? I've heard I should save gems for the Dorm...
This hurts my packrat soul.

[knotty jolt]

dumb the greys, you can refarm them later if you need things like Tech etc

[grave mantle]

Is it worth going to WA to get sea hornets? As for me it is much easier to get them from WA than to farm materials for gear lab for flapjacks

[knotty jolt]

War archives is not worth the time and oil to farm for gear prints

[tidal dust]

Why do i need my meowfficers to be SR for Opsi if their talents and skills dont matter

[sweet delta]

No lamo, sea hornet is barely better than the 2x500s like hellcat, not worth dumping 100 runs worth of oil on a map that's worse for exp and coins

[summer niche]

Fair. I think I'll keep Ranger for now, just because she's pretty leveled. Might help me have enough people for commissions.

Gem Spending 101

Gems in Azur Lane are fairly rare from an F2P perspective. However, the gacha in Azur lane does not require gems and their main usage is expansion of facilities like dorm, academy, docks and depot, as well as buying resources, resource packs, premium items (rings and name change), and skins.

As an F2P, you can get up to 4700 guaranteed gems (3750 for 3* clearing all 15 main campaign worlds, 800 for completing Bands collection and 150 for 8 days login campaign), not counting random gems from commissions or occasional bonuses from events or other sources.

Considering limited availability of gems for F2P players, even if spent exclusively on QoL upgrades, it is impossible to upgrade everything.

This is the recommended way to spend gems as an F2P:

• 3rd Dorm slot (300 gems)
• Dorm 2nd floor (500 gems)
• Dock space (remaining gems)

The main purpose of the dorm is for faster morale regen while grinding. Using ships with 0 morale will receive a 50% exp penalty and lose affinity.

The 2nd floor of the dorm will have the same number of slots as the 1st floor. While it lacks passive exp gain, it has faster morale regen. 3 dorm slots with the 2nd floor gives you a total of 6 slots, which is enough for your whole mob fleet.

Dock space is the biggest constraint for players. While this can help casual players collect all their waifus, there is also practical use in collecting ships - for later levelling to get their fleet tech on reaching lvl 120. These are important for players as they provide crucial additional stats that help players to tackle the hardest content (W14/15, H.Arbiters, CM).

Alternatively, players may consider getting the 3rd Academy slot for faster skill training or more dorm slots instead of just dock space (not recommended).

While players may opt to buy skins/rings with the F2P gems, this will come at the cost of QoL. It is recommended to only buy those with real money 💳.

[knotty jolt]

Honestly, ranger is the funnier commons you can keep

Ya can always pray for those quick take off spam moments

[robust nymph]

is this thing great

[forest palm]

it's useless

[robust nymph]

i bought the key items with core data so i have so much left

[tulip tinsel]

for munition or whatever ships like kashino

[knotty jolt]

I've never seen people use cargo ships in any serious manner

[sweet delta]

I have

[knotty jolt]

[proven current]

For what are meowofficers even for?

[knotty jolt]

More stats

[hushed sorrel]

"Meowfficers are a late game, VERY expensive investment. Expect to be spending several million coins chasing a single cat. It is highly not recommended for the newer players to reroll cats, just use what is given.
You also want to be using cats on your Operation Siren mobbing fleet since the cat node rewards scale with the level of cats equipped"

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide

[proven current]

i almost never play OS

Opsi, so prob they are useless

[hushed sorrel]

you can also use them for campaign and i heard the stat boost is around 30% but i never cared enough to fact check that

[knotty jolt]

Not really, they still provide bonuses

You should do opsi, it's just free extra stuff too

[hushed sorrel]

atleast go and get yourself a random ssr cat, thats way better than having none

[novel solstice]

While it is hugely expensive to get a perfect cat, a decent one is pretty cheap and easy.

Open boxes til you get one with flame, and poof, +3%damage to your fleet, which is a lot.

[rocky lake]

So 2 questions
Best ways to obtain Cruiser Gold retrofit items(and the others really)
and are any of the ships from the upcoming event worth going for? ie QA's revenge, Adventure ect

[knotty jolt]

most of the time sailing frigates aren't worth using, secondly retrofit materials are very limited to 3 hard mode runs a day so outside that idk where else

[novel solstice]

retro items primarily come from doing hard mode stages. destroyers are X-1, cruisers X-2, etc. So do your three hard mode runs each day

[rocky lake]

👍 i thought as much just wanted to double check incase i was missing anyway of getting more

trying to go for plymouth but need Drake finished first to get the tech so the like 20+ cruiser retrofit items is killing me

[knotty jolt]

you can technically get one every so often from the guild shop but that's quite rare

You can also exchange like 100 medals for one in the medal shop too and they have a total of 4 for sale

But that's super expesnive

[grave mantle]

Sometimes retro items shows up in guild shop

Ah, it was already said

[rocky lake]

yeah, cheers guys 👌.

[sweet delta]

Drake is very good

The cat, not the ship of course

[pale vault]

lol drake was my first dr ship

and even years ago when i was researching her she was already falling off

[turbid marsh]

well she did shine for liek what, 2 or 3 meta bosses?

[pale vault]

i still use drake in my mobfleet

[summer niche]

Hmm, I guess putting away my gray ships isn't so bad. I found the right pit to throw them in:

[pale vault]

just got brest yesterday will replace once her skills are leveled, and 20 more bps till dev 30

[subtle grotto]

is hakuhou even good, my yorktown is doing more dmg somehow

[knotty jolt]

One of if not the strongest vs heavy armor units

[forest palm]

so many variables, all above skill issue

like I hope you're not using Hakuhou Non MLB

odds are you're using some jank build too

[turbid marsh]

and ihope you are not comparing these two ship when they are similar fly rate but yorktown a tad bit faster

[peak fable]

arent the BPs in the event shop ridiculously expensive?
I have 8k left and I am split between just getting another Painleve copy or the BPs

[sweet delta]

They are expensive, personally I skipped them for 2 or 3 years as a casual player who didn't farm events much

I buy them now to finish the new season faster

[peak fable]

well, I would dare to say I am fairly dedicated to Azur Lane min-maxing as far as I am, as I pretty much consumed all up to date informational content there is, but the thing is that I don't even have a ship that's above PR1, so I just have so many things to split my resources on and unfortunately Felix Schultz nor Flandre aren't really top tier ships either, that I could reason with necessity.

So TL:DR: I'm gonna do what you did, I'm too far away from the new seasons progression wise

[violet grail]

I managed to hit the 50k event points this time around and dropped painleve on D3 so was able to afford the blueprints this time around. Didnt buy them during amahara.

[silk helm]

50k even tpoints

[peak fable]

rip oil

[violet grail]

I mean just doing each stage once daily gave a ton of points.

[peak fable]

I did exactly that, 42k

[silk helm]

im a slacker i guess

[peak fable]

so assuming you farmed D3, that's... 8000 : 180 = 44,4 runs. so 44 x 250 oil equals... roughly 11k oil

should be a bit more than that because i only took an estimate

then again, you can't really farm PR6 BPs with oil through normal means, so if you really want a PR6 ship, that could be worth

[violet grail]

Uh i didnt keep track but that sounds possible. Anyways right now im sitting at 7k oil on hand waiting for next event plus I still have the 5k oil to buy from event shop.

[silent hearth]

any idea when the next event is btw? someone mentioned it would start before the end of the month.

[hard mesa]

Tomorrow

[silent hearth]

ty

How important is Shimanto's fate simulation? is it cataclysimic or just eh it will help?

[sweet delta]

It is one of the stronger fates

[silent hearth]

is it one of the reasons why shes S tier then? she seems decent (mind you i havnt gotten her maxed yet and still dev 28) but nothing thats wowzers yet.

[viscid swift]

huh

S tier?

[silent hearth]

tier 0, S tier w/e you want to call it. so many games have a differnt tiering system...

[viscid swift]

no like S tier where

no relevant tier list uses such nomencleture for tiers

[silent hearth]

Monster do you like switching your name every week or something?

[viscid swift]

I change it often yeah

[silent hearth]

i think you get the general gist of what i was asking though, is her fate what makes her powerful? so is it something i should focus on? im still trying to get my anchorage to fate5 so ive been coining but ive been using every spare BP for shima since i got her.

[sweet delta]

Anchorage has one of the weakest fates

[silent hearth]

facepalm i was told her f5 was good...T.T

[sweet delta]

I wouldnt use season 7 and 8 bps on Shimanto

But all season 6 bps and catch-up go to Shimanto

[viscid swift]

no but it's certainly an upgrade

[peak fable]

so uh... do I analyze ALL combat data packs?

[tulip tinsel]

yes

[silent hearth]

then which S7/8 would i want to save BPs for? the only one i can grab from those seasons is Kansas ATM and i was told shes just ass so i havnt gotten her yet.

[stark quiver]

bayard is good dps if fs5,

[silent hearth]

oh i guess i could get Daisen too. is she any good?

[sweet delta]

Top 2 gold BB

Estimate when will Shimanto get coining?

[viscid swift]

January/February

[peak fable]

I heard that Shinano and New Jersey are a bit old by now, does that translate to me saving up my bulins for other URs if I don't have a single one? (except I-404)
Or do I just get Shinano and call it a day? (I can MLB one UR ship)

[silent hearth]

im close to Kearsarge too...i could probably get her now if i go through my dock and MLB the commons i got up to 70... ive been told shes a pretty good main ship too...

[viscid swift]

I mean you won't have BPs for her

[sweet delta]

And you have 513 Kearsarge blueprints?

[silent hearth]

284 atm.

[sweet delta]

It is correct that most new players shouldn't use bulins on them, but you can send your dock to get an accurate evaluation by Date a Live Collab upcoming

[sweet delta]

Do you have enough bps for fate 5 Shimanto after catchup?

[silent hearth]

oh jesus is the next event the Date a Live collab? i thought it was the other one that had Unzen or w/e.

[silent hearth]

no lol otherwise she would be D30 by now. im actively working on her atm.

[viscid swift]

still about a month off

[sweet delta]

how do you have 284 kear bps but not enough for Shimanto

[silent hearth]

when i first started i was told to set her as focus so i had her focused for about a month.

[peak fable]

No noteworthy ships below those, these are my best ones (I like Iron Blood)

[silent hearth]

ugh. i have shit for iron blood. cant even get the DR2 ship yet. maybe i should just get roon next then sigh

[viscid swift]

how many UR Bullins can you get right now/have?

[silent hearth]

@viscid swift back to that name again? lol

[peak fable]

I have 4, I can get a 5th soon

[sweet delta]

Well it is not Trafalgar day

[viscid swift]

I'd probably wait for Musashi to get added to perma pity

[peak fable]

Alright, I have no particular need for Shinano anyway atm, so Ima wait.

On a sidenote, how many URs are released per year on average?

[silent hearth]

is the San Diego unique augment still bugged? ive read that fast firing guns cause issues. is this just for the ones that are too fast, or will most standard DD/CL guns be fine?

[viscid swift]

at this rate we're looking at least 6 new gacha URs, probably 7 this year
1 UR retrofit, and 2 DRs

[pale vault]

i have all the perma urs, should i just use my pity to retire for the 400 monthly thingies or just sit on it

[viscid swift]

are they all max limit broken

[pale vault]

ya

[peak fable]

So 7 or 10 in total?

[viscid swift]

i'd wait then unless you have Musashi

[pale vault]

i have

[viscid swift]

10

[peak fable]

Kk, thanks

[sweet delta]

It's bugged for almost all guns, bugged a lot for the fastest guns, but still good bugged gun > bad non-bugged gun

[silent hearth]

heres my options for her ATM. which would you recommend for her?

[pale vault]

how do you know when ur done with operation siren for the month?

[sweet delta]

130 > 128

[silent hearth]

your never done! you could always do C1 farming 😄

[pale vault]

is there a point to that?

[silent hearth]

yep. you get AP boxes by the dozens if you stop at every shop keeper. farm a few dozen (or a few hundred) and you get more currency at the monthly reset.

or you could use the AP to farm C5 for parts.

[trim path]

not much for a casual player; it's basically ultra ultra ultra min-maxing

[silent hearth]

i have 182 gold AP boxes because ive been too lazy to do a proper C5 grind shrug

[pale vault]

what tactics level do you reccomend for hard arbiter (ive only cleared opsi once and couldnt beat hard)

[viscid swift]

203, 203, 156 is the effective cap for harbiter

[pale vault]

OH

[silent hearth]

idk, C1 farming is super easy if your doing other stuff, just check your phone or computer once in a while and you will usually be at a shop. i set it up on my phone while im playing helldivers and check it after every mission lol

[pale vault]

i may have wayyyy more than that

didnt kno there was a cap

[hushed sorrel]

in my case i do arbiter, harbiter and all stages exploring, chests and bosses. you can also do dailies ... lots of possible auto runs

[silent hearth]

So throw the B-13 on San Diego and call it a day then? what about AA?

[viscid swift]

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

[silent hearth]

yeah thanks. i COULD just throw a roomba on all of my vanguard that i use for carry but dont i need an accelerator or w/e? i feel like it just fires too slow.

[safe nexus]

how to lvl up meowfficer skill?

[viscid swift]

accelerators in practice are borderline useless

[silent hearth]

sacrifice dupes to the highest lvl one and you get their talents. otherwise every 5 lvls they get a skill point.

[viscid swift]

because AA gun reload is averaged accross the fleet and because there's absolute cooldowns anyway not to mention that accelerators tend to have poor range

[silent hearth]

does that include the main ships too?

[viscid swift]

yes

[cobalt rapids]

aa gun reload averageing is a counter argument

[pale vault]

when are they gonna bring back tactics academy speed up event? they didnt have it this anni and it made me sad

[silent hearth]

so thats why for main it recommends the STAAG on main, that kind of acts as the accelorator then for your vanguard?

[viscid swift]

they do it at random so we don't know

[cobalt rapids]

usually when a new server is released on any region iirc

[pale vault]

i failed to beat hard arbiter last time should i just make 4 boss fleets or just use normal

[cobalt rapids]

yes and it gives hit to main fleet ontop which they benefit from

[viscid swift]

1. even the best main fleet AA is only equivilent to average AA capabailites fo the vanguard
2. main fleet ships really want the extra hit stat

[silent hearth]

ok good stuff. i thought that the main and vanguard were separate AA stuff. that will help immensely.

[safe nexus]

ok ty

[silent hearth]

mind you each dupe gives 1 xp so a lvl 1 to 2 skill takes 1 dupe, then it takes 3 dupes to get it from 2 to 3. so you need 4 dupes ontop of the one your investing. this is for their SKILL. (i had the talent/skill mixed up) For Talents its just every 5 levels you get a talent point to invest. you can reset these however if you mess up your investing, though unless your min-maxing its not something i would bother with.

[stark quiver]

What should I buy

[silent hearth]

all the gear skin boxes!

[storm marlin]

You can't really increase the Dev level of PR5 with coins, apparently

[viscid swift]

SR Cat boxes, arrays, augment cores

[late flame]

lol royal fortune still no augment

[silent hearth]

what? yeah you can

[viscid swift]

you can with the PRs, just not the DRs

[cobalt rapids]

if they have a coin near their blueprint icon it means they are coinable

[safe nexus]

the meowfficer space quite low tho isn't that annoying 😭

[storm marlin]

I see

[silent hearth]

no lol just sacrifice your blue and non-usefull purples to the blood god

[stark quiver]

i already have a lot of augment cores
are bps worth

[viscid swift]

they're series 6 so your milage may vary

[silent hearth]

can never have enough. unless your a grandpa like Date a Live Collab upcoming/monster.

[viscid swift]

I'm not that old

[hushed sorrel]

as a collector i buy the skin boxes ... but i cannot recommend that for the average player. if you are unsure just listen to your heart

[silent hearth]

how old is your account? hmm?

[viscid swift]

suchi's been around since 2019

[sweet delta]

Alpa 's azur Lane is older than date a live collab upcoming s

[stark quiver]

im new

[silent hearth]

yall a bunch of grandpas lol

[sweet delta]

2019 is not old

[silent hearth]

for a gacha is sure the hell is lol

how many gachas are this old and this active still? not counting chinese server gachas (the chinese are crazy about gachas)

[knotty jolt]

[safe nexus]

multiple times still 😭 since get full easily

[silent hearth]

yeah i have to sacrifice like 20 of them a day. you get a ton of blue/purple boxes if you run C5 grind (i usually get 1-2 every hour)

[stark quiver]

im missing fs5 copies for DR

[safe nexus]

yea i might start doing that but for c3 soon, so i can imagine it 😭 either way thx for the info

[silent hearth]

So VS Yuudachi META im using Oumi/New Jersey/Hakuhou, would Saratoga(retro), Independence, Enterprise or Izumo be better? all of the ships i mentioned are maxed skills/MLB/LVL (120+) except sara who is 115.

[cobalt rapids]

enterprise would be better over hakuhou if u had access to rockets

[silent hearth]

unless you have a hard time with C5 i wouldnt reccomend C3 grinding. C5/C6 is where you get 1-2 cat nodes and are what you are aiming for.

[sweet delta]

If you have hvar or bf109g then enterprise could be better 🐌

[silent hearth]

unfortunatly no rockets :/

[stark quiver]

idt they have hvar

[sweet delta]

C3 is C5 but better if they have time

[cobalt rapids]

and c6 is a worse c5/c3

[safe nexus]

im aimming for the other stuff so not really

i forgot what it is tho lmao

[silent hearth]

whats your goal with OPSI grinding then?

[stark quiver]

becuase i was told by gph

[safe nexus]

i legit forgot XD only target is exp with the c1 positive AP grind rn

[silent hearth]

so is C3 more efficient then? ive been doing C5s with spare AP but time isnt an issue for me.

[cobalt rapids]

ur opsi targets should be to maximize goldplates gains and gearlab mats gains

c3 is c5 but with more akashi on average but more ⌛
if u dont stop for akashi then they should be the same

[stark quiver]

C3 is a bit better than, theres same to more cat spawns, and paw nodes are around equal

[silent hearth]

yeah i never see akashi in the C5s (i dont think ive seen her more then once out of the several hundred ive done which is friggen wierd)

[stark quiver]

ive seen 1 akashi this month across everything

[silent hearth]

ouch

she appears at like 10% of the time for me in C1 grinds

[cobalt rapids]

the chances should be the same but c3 costs less than c5 so then since akashi spawns per zone that means more zones repeated -> more akashis
the same logic how c1 akashi farming works

[silent hearth]

hmm ok. maybe ill switch it to a C3 grind then for now. ive gotten enough AP boxes saved up that i could run it from now until the end of the month probably.

[viscid swift]

it takes me 3 days just to get through 40 or so

[cobalt rapids]

just make sure u clear any explorable, logger or anything with icon above u have left before ap dumping because the rewards from those are exponentially more than secured zone spam

[stark quiver]

these people have more than 8 gold boxes at a given time

[silent hearth]

yeah ive got a few other things saved up and the weekly blockade or w/e now to do. ive been slacking the last few days since i got Helldivers 2

[silent hearth]

idk man, Akashi cant get enough of me on my C1s. more often then naught she will spawn with at least 1 gold AP box too. i have several screenshots of her having like 5+ boxes to buy.

(5+ boxes including blue/purples. not golds. though its not uncommon to see her offering 2+ gold boxes too)

[stark quiver]

[silent hearth]

i see this usually 4-5 times every day. either im very very lucky or its not uncommon.

[cobalt rapids]

iirc c1 farmers data estimated akashi at like 5% spawn

[silent hearth]

does she offer the same stuff no matter the C your in? it doesnt seem like the difficulty your on matters.

[cobalt rapids]

yea but its random

[grave mantle]

Sometimes her stock is excellent, sometimes it is full of repair kits

[silent hearth]

yeah thats what i meant, she doesnt have a chance to spawn with higher options on a C6 then if she spawned on a C1 right? i havnt seen her enough on higher difficulties to be able to guess

[cobalt rapids]

correct

[silent hearth]

gotcha. either way ill give C3 a chance today and maybe finally make some progress on my gear lab.

[silent hearth]

so if i get some BF-109G i should replace hakuhou with Enterprise?

[wheat ore]

is there a website i can check all the skins with the live2d? just so i can decide what skin to buy and such

[silent hearth]

One other issue ive been having is with Helena. its hard to tell when her radar ping goes off and im not sure if im just not syncing her with my barrages or if i AM and its just not hitting the boss. either way ive never managed to get a higher dmg with her in the vanguard then with my current setup (i maxed her skills)

[viscid swift]

if you look for it, it's not too difficult to notice

[stark quiver]

look harder

[silent hearth]

ive noticed a few times but its really difficult sometimes. i use the UI from the Hakuhou event because its less intrusive but this also makes the skill popups smaller and stack ontop of each other more often

[sweet delta]

Listen

[stark quiver]

also just know how many bars you do with scan vs without scan

[grave mantle]

You can see them on wiki, though only the static image of l2ds. Can't help if you need to watch the animated version

[stark quiver]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/skins

[wheat ore]

oh i see, yeah that's a bit annoying then

[undone plover]

Most l2d skin interactions are posted on youtube or chinese forums if u know how to look

[wheat ore]

i think some of them are age restricted on youtube

[undone plover]

U can ask in #al-general also iirc they had pins with links to twitter or sth like that that showcase em

[undone plover]

Ah well I cant help u there

[wheat ore]

i'll have a look 👍

[tame fog]

I think there's a bug on this mission

I read the whole story but it doesn't register

[viscid swift]

that's for the Danmachi story

[tame fog]

Oh woops

[silent hearth]

so in the safe to scrap guide it says that the twin 152 is safe to scrap, but this is what crafts into the triple 155, wouldnt it be better to keep 1-2 copies just in case?

[viscid swift]

I mean you get plenty of Triple 155s just from opening tech boxes

[silent hearth]

oddly enough i havnt, ive gotten a LOT of the twin 203s but none of the triple 155s. but i get your point, ty

also why are CA guns not an option for sorting?

[cobalt rapids]

for some reason they are on CL guns..

[rain bobcat]

who is the jp twitter guy that has skin poses/instructions posted

[undone plover]

it is pinned in #al-general

[fringe copper]

Why i cant even log my Facebook and my friend cant to

[silent hearth]

Any recommendations on which 2 META Dossiers i should grab first?

[undone plover]

juntsuu if u care about pvp
otherwise go for fleet tech
like Queen elizabeth meta or hiryuu/souryuu/ark

[knotty jolt]

Have ya tried the classic turn it off and on again ie exit and retry?

[silent hearth]

mmk, i have Jintsuu set atm by coincidence. i was thinking about switching to souryuu because she looked like she had decent ratings for differnt stuff and S tier for W14. ill keep it on juntsuu just for shiggles and maybe see if i can actually build a decent pvp fleet. my current fleet i use for bossing seems to punch up pretty good atm.

[knotty jolt]

Also try #tech-support instead

[weary edge]

i thought metas didnt give fleet tech?

[fringe copper]

What is it?

[silent hearth]

they do, towards META. but hes talking about tech as in the bonuses you get towards stats.

[fringe copper]

You mean turn off wifi and on and then exit the game?

[weary edge]

oh ok

[undone plover]

yeah fleet tech has 2 sources
1- individual ships (except collab/child version/muse) on obtain + level 120
2- faction tech

[rain bobcat]

tech stats

[rain bobcat]

souryuu is bc she has 2rld

hiryuu has 2hit

[zinc hornet]

haven't managed to pull painleve. do i bother dropping cubes for her or just take the L

[viscid swift]

why would you pull for her, she's in the event shop

[violet grail]

Save cubes for banner with Ultra Rare. Buy 1 copy of painleve with 8k event points in exchange shop if you want her.

[zinc hornet]

oh man i didn't even look at the event shop

sorry guys, dummy moment from me

[paper walrus]

should i buy the gun from the shop

[viscid swift]

yes

[violet grail]

Yes

[rain haven]

is it worth even doing hidden zones in Opsi below level 5?

[ivory pawn]

Worth doing 4s. 3 and below, eh I do them because lazily autoing, but you can skip.

[rain haven]

i mean wouldnt it be better to keep the cooridnates to convert to vouchers? (for zone 3 and below)

[muted crescent]

you can buy her off the shop?

[tulip tinsel]

if it adds up and u can buy the one with abyssals it might worth it

[short wagon]

how do i tell difference between covering and parallel torpedo

[forest palm]

the game doesn't really tell you afaik, though you can infer a Bomber is converging or parallel by the Bomb it uses

[daring oracle]

can someone explain to me how the arbiter got deleted in the video from captain fluff in media content?

[soft raft]

#al-lore

[stark quiver]

what does AL lore have to do with gameplay?

[daring oracle]

huh? I talking about the ex stage?

[forest palm]

cause reading comprehension is weird

[soft raft]

then you should've just said so 💀
Cuz at first read I thought you meant the abridged AL Lore summary

[short wagon]

can i use auto to get threat level low

[forest palm]

that's on you Blast

[daring oracle]

ong

[soft raft]

That depends on if your fleet can actually live consistently enough, but in most cases yeah you should be able to

[short wagon]

overelveled 🤑

[daring oracle]

but can anyone explain^^^
I see the Helena skill proc but im still confused by the amount of dmg those bbs had

[soft raft]

prob a gear and/or a fleet tech diff

[daring oracle]

lvl 1 Helena lvl 1 Mikasa

[stark quiver]

fluffy used mecklenburg and bismarck zwei , who're both good against heavy armor, mikasa was used to buff them both with a 20% damage buff for BBs

helena is 40% damage debuff for enemy when sg radar proc, cleveland has a 25% damage buff for fleet when assault order is procced, shimikaza does big torpedo damage

[daring oracle]

I really gotta start looking into buffs more

[stark quiver]

since mikasa and helena are both buffers, well cleve too , they get to stay at level 1 because fluff good at dodging, and more level = more fleet power = lower score

[viscid swift]

he also manually dodged the attacks

[daring oracle]

what could I use instead of meckle

[stark quiver]

richelieu and alsace

[daring oracle]

yea its a skill issue I've been using a vanguard thats way too slow

[knotty jolt]

Beaver badge

[stark quiver]

bro

[stark quiver]

use faster ships
if not use tanky ships + eldridge

[daring oracle]

ill try with richeliu unless a 5 star alsace works

[stark quiver]

neither works

[daring oracle]

I've been using to CAs in vanguard so maybe thats why im so slow

[stark quiver]

yes and also weak
ca isnt tanky and doesnt do enough personal damage to kill before death

[soft raft]

5* Alsace
Yeah no bruh

[daring oracle]

I've been using Anchorage for her skills and agir since she's pretty tanky

[stark quiver]

throw in eldridge retrofit

[daring oracle]

working on her :(

[stark quiver]

speaking of which, i havent malded ex yet, i hope ranger is nice

[soft raft]

Unfortunately tankiness isnt enough for EX when you gotta manual

And CB+CA means that's a fairly slow vanguard

[daring oracle]

yeah ill swap em out

[stark quiver]

@viscid swift hi do you think i can get 6 in a row full ranger proc assault carrier and quick takeoff

[daring oracle]

also kinda annoying I dont have musashi gun

[viscid swift]

I dunno

[stark quiver]

[knotty jolt]

Pray to RNG Jesus

With enough resets anything is possible

[forest palm]

someone else who bought into +13 460

[daring oracle]

who has the priority list for +13 again

[stark quiver]

im down around 700 gold plates today

[woven star]

Having 2 +13 460 that's

[daring oracle]

but deadass does someone have a link or img

[woven star]

Bot tab #bot-spam message

[forest palm]

I'm just sitting on Gold Plates for Quad 305

[brisk dragon]

are u guys able to log in to the game?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[daring oracle]

fml both my Mikasa and Cleveland have no levels are their skills

[stark quiver]

Don’t worry about those
It takes a lot of optimizing

[forest palm]

Deleting a boss isn't something you can magically do it takes time

[daring oracle]

got the boss to 30 bars

but then the evil parallel lasers

I've gotten the boss to 4 bars before

but my last vanguard ship had already procced the maintenence crew

[rain bobcat]

just run it with OP ships if all you need is a clear

why are you trying to follow an optimised one shot composition

[daring oracle]

not even trying to one shot

literally just can't live long enough to clear

[rain bobcat]

yes but the comp is meant for one shotting if ur using helena and cleve

the comp falls apart past 1 salvo

[daring oracle]

im using soyuz, bis2, NJ, laffey II, Shimkaze, and helena

[rain bobcat]

use anchorage

[daring oracle]

I have been for like the last 12 attempts

[rain bobcat]

do you have good CVs

do you have musashi

[daring oracle]

no musashi :(

my phones screenshot are showing up hol on

[polar lion]

How to read event story?

[viscid swift]

this is why eldridge is one of the best ships in the game

[daring oracle]

im outta bulins man

[viscid swift]

well, just accept you're probably not beating it this time and get to work on leveling her asap

[woven star]

Do you use EU Damage Control on laff2?

[rain bobcat]

you might be able to do a some coping doing shinano amagi bis2 shimakaze helena ancho

assuming ur CV actually have +13 across the board

[daring oracle]

😢

[rain bobcat]

if you cant get her to atleast 10 bars before the lasers id say theres no hope

[woven star]

Not really for passing he need +13. Maybe for top score

[polar lion]

But why?

[rain bobcat]

imagine not having 460 +13

[forest palm]

+13 460 isn't bad, but it isn't good either, it's like finding a use for that one random block of wood you stored years back

[daring oracle]

yea im cooked also gotta go oath amagi brb

[viscid swift]

why are you using HE against a heavy armor boss

and why isn't Amagi using a TB in her first slot

[daring oracle]

good question

[viscid swift]

why is Shinano using that DB

[daring oracle]

I just kinda slapped gear in there also I think my bis is using a shit meta showdown loadout I made

[viscid swift]

and why are you using so many BTDs and don't have a single helldiver at +10

[forest palm]

[viscid swift]

why are you using a bowgun against a light armor enemy

[rain bobcat]

[daring oracle]

profound stupidity

[viscid swift]

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

Might wanna give that a read

[daring oracle]

I just swapped the augment i think the rest was for meta showdown

[rain bobcat]

id say it'd almost be a miracle to clear EX at this point

[daring oracle]

I might need some insane luck if I run my triple bbs

[forest palm]

all of this for a measly 500 chips

[daring oracle]

cause I got arbiter low and survived the lasers

just emergency maintenance thingie ran out at the very end

when I was a couple seconds from all my bbs reload

[mossy void]

What is a quick way to get affinity up for ARs? Trying to work on Hestia but it's a very slow grind, so wanted to see if there was something I didnt know

[viscid swift]

besides gifts?

[woven star]

Amagi btw don't need beacon if paired with Shinano

[ivory pawn]

Make sure they're in the leftmost Secretary slot.
And bring them to fights.
There's also the new gifts from the Island Planner game mode.

[mossy void]

Yeah I never got any gifts for them so lol

[viscid swift]

grinding the old fashioned way doesn't take that long either way

[rain bobcat]

like I said, if you cant get it to almost dead before lasers theres no hope

[mossy void]

She's like 91 affinity so

[viscid swift]

not even been 2 weeks and mines already at 100 affinity

[daring oracle]

fml then

[forest palm]

that Island mode crashes like hell on my S23

[rain bobcat]

lasers will basically kill you outright

[mossy void]

Its just theres no way for her to get MVP to make it quicker. I been working on her on and off (been busy)

[forest palm]

<@&460646206851252224> scam bot

[daring oracle]

ya I couldn't get anchorage torps off fast enough

[woven star]

Oh, free money. Sarcasm

[viscid swift]

I've seen her get MvP at least once

[forest palm]

they're using Mr Musk

[mossy void]

How. I just run on 1-1

[rain bobcat]

yeah well they barely do damage

[rain bobcat]

probably the worse place lmfao

[viscid swift]

in W12, AA damage added up, not that I was trying to make it happen

[daring oracle]

I think i was trying to get her and shinanos airstrikes to line up better with my implace slow but outside of that I kinda just slap her in a mob fleet even though its stupid

[mossy void]

...it was the best for a while but I did hear it changed but I forgot where exactly. apparently its 2-1 now for quick affinity.

[woven star]

I did ex with Ama, Shina, Lion, Ancho, Agir, Eldr. It's doable with +10 gear but score maybe will be lower

[daring oracle]

I just want the clear tbf

but i dont think I have the right ships/gear avaliable rn

eldridge is in the middle of her retro she has the levels but not max lmb

im also just ass at dodging

[woven star]

Idk. Retro it just dmg buff. Main reason in her deff skill. But I don't think you can max until tomorrow

[daring oracle]

I think I finished her skills aside from retrofit one if she has one

I was spamming rainbow books

[wheat ore]

I'm using the scrapping guide and in the guide this is called supermarine seafire and apparently it has bad bomb loadout. is that the same plane?

[viscid swift]

hardly, before her retrofit her blue skill starts on 20 sec cooldown, post retrofit it does not

[woven star]

I'm just survive until red and yellow waives. Getting red wall and dodge yellow. That was 3rd cv launch

[viscid swift]

yes

[wheat ore]

why are the names different?

[viscid swift]

Supermarine is just builder's name

[wheat ore]

ah okay that's a bit confusing

[daring oracle]

I hate coin shortages like how tf did i spend 80k coins in a day

[knotty jolt]

If you're a fleet power gamer like me a few hundred thousand is chump change and you go through that much in a week if not more

[daring oracle]

im gonna need to make a list for priorities at this rate, like I got eldrige retro, opsi shit, pr development, coin farm, everything

[woven star]

Fair but not significant. I mean still doable.

[viscid swift]

considering that the fight should ideally not last beyond 3 rotations locking yourself out eldridge's invulnerability for more than 1/3 of that is as we say not ideal

[woven star]

In this case - yes. In 1 min fight it's 1/3. In 80 sec 1/4. But usually first damage patern can be dodgeable. Depends on bosses and situations. Not sure about this ex boss

Btw Anco preload torps can help in this situation

[soft raft]

Since when did she have preload torps

[woven star]

Anyway not an expert. Ofc Eldridge retro is a beast. But without it is not so much worse.

[soft raft]

unless you meant the part where she has a chance to reduce her next reload time by 3s but that's not a preload

[woven star]

Since dev10 Anchorage. Preload torp so deff skill on eva at the battle starts

[soft raft]

Oh nvm
but honestly that speaks to how "useful" it is when I frankly didnt even know that until today

[crude jetty]

Is the UR build point exchange in gold banners like the current Iris one different from the points exchange in UR event banners

[soft raft]

they are two sepreate pity counters yes

[crude jetty]

Thank

[viscid swift]

they are meant to be dodgable but they're very clearly having issues

so for practical purposes they may as well be playing in auto

the retrofit is in either way not an insignificant upgrade

[wheat ore]

is it worth doing the fate simulator for the pr ships if i don't use them? cuz i'm currently researching a ship and i have nothing to spend my gold on

[woven star]

I don't meant insignificant. Just say without still can useable

[rapid shard]

Depends on the ship. Some FS5s are more impactful than other. There is the upcoming event you'll want coins for as well. Plus Unzen rerun in the near future

[wheat ore]

wait does fs5 give tech points or does it actually do anything?

[viscid swift]

I would argue not, eldridge pre retro hasn't seen use since 2018

it's just a skil upgrade

[rapid shard]

Fate Sim level give Lck points and final fs5 changes a skill

[wheat ore]

i'm doing monarch but i don' use her

[soft raft]

and for DRs they get another skill upgrade at FS3

[rapid shard]

If you not using or plan on using her than no point wasting coins. But some units it does help a lot. And its never a downgrade

[wheat ore]

ah okay, yeah i'm just researching roon atm

[rapid shard]

You definitely want to do Roons cause its a big boost to her dmg

Like 40% increase if I remember right

[wheat ore]

okay okay 👍

[woven star]

I'm playing this game not for long but I think burn wasn't be a some kind of meta. Where I guess Eldridge become best option vs dots

Just my guesses

[viscid swift]

what

[woven star]

I meant burns like Lion and bosses who don't have huge damage but have often ticks

[rapid shard]

You do get 2 free levels daily towards Fate Sims so even if you not using monarch right now make sure to keep using the so they dont get wasted

[viscid swift]

first off, Eldridge's skill makes ships evade damage doesn't make them immune to damage and DOTs still tick even when her skill is active

[woven star]

Hm. Ok

[soft raft]

Bro is not cooking 💀

[viscid swift]

also evidenced by the fact we don't use her against Yuudachi META

[wheat ore]

oh that's good to know ty

[soft raft]

by 2 free levels he means 2 free BPs

[viscid swift]

also in future I'd reccomend speaking on matters you're not particularly familiar with

[rapid shard]

Shes a gold as well so doesnt take that much either. Monarchs new unique augment makes her pretty solid now. Not sure if you seen that get added

[viscid swift]

Monarch's fate sim is useless

[rapid shard]

Yeah thats useless lol but no point in wasting the 2 free bps a day if you have nothing else to use it on

[soft raft]

Do yall bother going for the 2nd Supercarrier node on 15-4 or nah

[viscid swift]

Well you have to unless you wanna deal with even more planes

[soft raft]

Fair enough

[sweet delta]

I skip it fr if my boss fleet is strong

And mob fleet is ultra weak to planes

[short wagon]

triple 155 or 1934triple 152

secondary bb gun

for mobbing

[soft raft]

Triple 155

the 1934 Triple 152 isnt worth it
It's essentially a Itallian Neptune Gun

[north marsh]

Where do you read the story?

[viscid swift]

danmachi story

[north marsh]

ohhhhh

[summer niche]

LOOOOOL
Hakuhou finally got out of her commission, and she brings it just to the edge.

[soft raft]

Ok

[viscid swift]

just give it a rest, you've got not even 5 hours of this event left

[rapid shard]

You'd be much better off just normally leveling to be able to do the upcoming event tomorrow

[summer niche]

At this point I just want to try for that level for fun. 😛
But fair I guess. I dunno what normal leveling is yet, I'm only up to 5-2 or so.

[viscid swift]

it's no different to the previous stages, more of the same just harder

[rapid shard]

And tbh that fleet might not be able to fully clear all mobs then boss on top. Your not over leveled by much at all

[eternal moth]

There's no dorm set for this upcoming event right?

[eternal moth]

Why isn't Unicorn retrofit?

[idle plover]

Hey chat, need advice in which ship I should get for the UR thing

[eternal moth]

Is Shinano MLB?

[viscid swift]

I might hold off potentially

[stark quiver]

Because I wanna do ex

Anyways I basically quit AL so I’m doing w/e

[summer niche]

Because I'm so new she isn't. 😅

Been playing like a month I guess.

[vale spindle]

joined after me then quit before me

[eternal moth]

"We plan to update the following contents after the next maintenance.

・Event reprint

・Permanent implementation of events in the history of operations" I assume this is most likely to be what, Unzen rerun and Musashi being added to WA?

[viscid swift]

that's what I think yeah

[vale spindle]

isnt next maint tempesta or is that after

[eternal moth]

That's maint after

[vale spindle]

👌🏾

[eternal moth]

So most likely next week

It could be two weeks, but we'll see.

[rain bobcat]

wut

[twilit wren]

the limited ships this event will get added to permanent pool eventually right

i'm going broke from trying to pull lyon

[sweet delta]

Nobody knows about collab rerun or permanent

[eternal moth]

Don't forget that as I just mentioned, Unzen will rerun within 2 weeks, and we still have another collab plus another new UR event by the end of the year.

[twilit wren]

[sweet delta]

Date a Live may not rerun or be permanent, while Lyon and Unzen will

[twilit wren]

i still have 700 cubes, is that a good amount lol

[eternal moth]

That should be enough. Personally, I'd hold off on getting Lyon until she's added to perma, but it's up to you.

[forest palm]

the rerun already foots the bill on 45 pulls

[weary edge]

does anyone know how many coins i need to spend on fdg if i already have 150 bps for her?

[tidal dust]

What are rate up ships?

[sweet delta]

Rate up is 2% for gold, 2.5% for purple

Non rate up or "available" ships share the remaining percentage with all other ships of that rarity in the pool

will it cost like 980? or 880

[knotty jolt]

Even if it was 780 I'm not getting it cause to forgettable

[viscid swift]

ok

[stark quiver]

but is it gonna be 980 or 880

[wind hazel]

does it matter?

[stark quiver]

no

but itd be nice to know

[rain bobcat]

probably 880 if its not dynamic

shouldn't be dynamic since we have kron and izumo

[stark quiver]

nice

[soft raft]

Take this then do the math again after subtracting 150 BPs from the D30 total (513)

[weary edge]

ty twinaroni

[uncut willow]

Is it better to save cubes for upcoming event or chace Clemenceau before this event ends

[viscid swift]

I mean Unzen rerun is due soon as well as the Date a Live Collan

And the current rerun is just tech and the tempesta event isn't even that

[uncut willow]

So don’t chase Clem or Tempesta, save up?

[soft raft]

Yeah

[uncut willow]

Sick, ty guys

[weak elk]

who should i raise 1st konstand or new jersey

[viscid swift]

probably neither

[weak elk]

why?

[viscid swift]

well is either max limit broken

[short wagon]

difference between AP and He?
i know ap is armour piercing

[weak elk]

not yet?

[viscid swift]

armor modifiers, HE can set burns and AP can pierce among other things

[short wagon]

would u reccomend HE or AP for w12 CA

[viscid swift]

exactly, and you wouldn't under most circumstances want to invest UR Bullins in either

[viscid swift]

I reccomend using a good CA Gunhttps://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

[short wagon]

is https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/#ca_guns better ir us suchiguma github better

cuz ik theres these two

[viscid swift]

they compliment each other

[short wagon]

kk

[viscid swift]

suchi's guide is meant to be a simplification of things whereas Sam's covers just about everything

[short wagon]

alr

[weak elk]

then what are the ur bulin worth using on?

[short wagon]

ill grab myself a Napoli CA

[weak elk]

[viscid swift]

I woudn't spend protocores on it

[short wagon]

alr no it is

[viscid swift]

limited/non permanent URs

[short wagon]

i only have eugen gun for CAs rn so im tryna look for smth
poverty i recently started Opsi

[viscid swift]

eugen gun is fine, especially for campaign

[weak elk]

oka what if i dont care for the limited then who should i do 1st

[viscid swift]

are you dead set on using those 2?

[soft raft]

If you really wanted to ignore limited URs (Which frankly you shouldn't), currently it would prob be Shinano >= Musashi (When she gets added) > Vanguard > Everyone else

[viscid swift]

at which point I'd ask how many UR Bullins you have/can get and what you're current URs are and their state of compleiton

[weak elk]

i have two... and i have a couple ssr maxed, UR i only have hakuhou limit breaked to max

[viscid swift]

well I would suggest waiting until you get 4 UR Bullins before you even think about max limit breaking a new UR

and Unzen is due to rerun next month

which would certainly take priority over Kronshtadt for UR Bullins

the perma URs are the oldest and for the most part the most powercrept URs

as such they're the lowest priorities for what are rather time gated UR Bullins

[stark quiver]

cheeky, do you usually do 3 pulls a day for new banners or go completely apeshit on it day 1

[viscid swift]

I go all in day 1 but I also have a lot of wiggle room

[weak elk]

any good ship in the current event?

[viscid swift]

not really, all largely just tech

[weak elk]

tech?

like for guild stuff?

[viscid swift]

the perma stat bonuses you get when obtaining a ship and getting them to level 120

[stark quiver]

wdym wiggle room

[viscid swift]

cube count

[weak elk]

huh... im very lost...

[stark quiver]

hehe same

[viscid swift]

most ships, when you obtain them and get them to level 120 give a small permanent stat bonus to all ships in their hull type and then some

like +1 FP for all DDs

it does add up as you can see

[weak elk]

dang 47 ships?

[viscid swift]

well not quite

[ivory pawn]

Any clue what I might be missing?

[viscid swift]

New Meowfficers? How to get them?

You get all limited-time Meowfficers guaranteed by playing the event (either through Daily Login rewards, minigames, or Event Shop). All Meowfficers from this event have fixed stats and skills (no rerolling).
In addition, these Meowfficers are NOT permanent, so be sure to acquire them before the event ends.

New Meowfficers for this event:

• Teach
• Bonnet

How to get Tempesta Augment Modules?

You craft them normally, just like any other ship with a Unique Augment Module. These Augment Modules are permanent.

How do the double banners work?

Banner 1 (New Ships):

• RATE UP: Queen Anne’s Revenge, Lyme, Pearl, Royal James, Portsmouth Adventure
• NOT RATE UP: Ganj-i-Sawai, Fancy, Amity, (rerun ships) and all other permanent ships within the build pool

Banner 2 (Rerun Ships):

• RATE UP: Ganj-i-Sawai, Fancy, Amity, Portsmouth Adventure
• NOT RATE UP: all other permanent ships within the build pool

Which banner should I pull on if I want ships?

If you want the new ships, pull on Banner 1 until you get all the rate-up ships, then switch to Banner 2 for the reruns if desired.

Should I pull for these ships?

Reasons you should pull for the ships, in no particular order:

• Waifu
• Collection
• Better than some permanent options at their hull type (only for gold ships)

There is 1 more rerun UR event, 1 more new UR event (and potential UR reruns), as well as 1 Collaboration event scheduled for 2025, spend cubes wisely.

hit isnt useless
its 30 avi 10 rld 3hit flame while a perfect bisha is 49 avi 20 rld flame

Just came back to the game after a very long time, is there any efficient way to get rainbow gear prints for their priority ship? like hindenburg gun for eg

[silk sphinx]

Not sure what you mean by for priority ship

Like I understand those terms separately, rainbow gear prints and priority ship, but the combination confuses me

[wet basin]

ah forget i said that, is there any proper efficient method of getting the rainbow blueprints for the research gear?

[silk sphinx]

Both are typically obtained in the same way, via research academy

You do researches (H, D, Q, G)

[wet basin]

Yeah they take quiet a while, so i was wondering if theres a faster more efficient method of getting them

[silk sphinx]

It should take a long time, even if you’re efficient with it at most you’d get maybe 3-5 copies of the ur gear in a year

[hollow gust]

2 and a half month per gear isn't that bad

[hushed sorrel]

for the research gear you can buy enough bp to craft a single piece per

[tulip tinsel]

hindenburg gun is in pr6 or sum iirc

[wet basin]

so these particular researches have a high drop rate of the gear?

[silk sphinx]

And that’s with cubing (though I often forget to load up researches, so honestly a lot of downtime)

[wet basin]

Sorry, like i said been ages since i came back

[hollow gust]

[silk sphinx]

Anyways, basically like everything in AL, expect lots of grinding

[silk sphinx]

?

[wet basin]

I understand thank you

[silk sphinx]

But getting a copy of the gear will take several months (2+) even if you’ve finished the series and don’t need ship blueprints

And know which researches to take

[hollow gust]

3 1/2 months for first gun is real unfortunate

[silk sphinx]

Once again, lots of research downtime and overlapping on oil

Doing masters plus other stuff, I’ve literally fallen asleep in my office chair several times

And spend the night at the university… with p severe insomnia

can’t be super active anymore

[cobalt rapids]

getting 1st copy of the gun about right now with full ship focus isnt that bad either way

grey just has unrealistic expectations

[rain bobcat]

you'd have to queue 24/7 in order to get gun+ships within 2.5 months

[gilded carbon]

I have a question, but its less directly gameplay and more personal progress-oriented

[ivory pawn]

If you don’t ask your question, all you’re doing is adding extra wait time to getting your answer (or a proper redirect).

[gilded carbon]

Sry.i have been going through some of the early Game Guides recently. Its been about a year since i started playing again and its unsure to me how well my Account has progressed since. Especially Gear-wise

Basically, this is the UR-gear i got since. Minus the Torps, wich i had prior to my extended break

Did i mess up?

[red sapphire]

Looks good stuff to me

[hollow gust]

There isn't much to mess up unless you spend your gold plates frivolously

[gilded carbon]

Wich i dont.

[hollow gust]

Although that gun useless on Sandy

[gilded carbon]

Is it? Oh. Well, i can exchange it. She was serving lvling-duty and as the only CL in use at that time, i gave it to her

It gets changed every now and then anyway

But, wich UR-gear should i aim for next in the Lab?

[hollow gust]

Blanks should be for just wyverns

[red sapphire]

What's the ship you have Musashi's gun on?

[gilded carbon]

More Wyverns?

[rain bobcat]

wut

you only need 2 wyverns max then you should get some AAs

[hollow gust]

Spending blanks on AA is dumb as fuck

[gilded carbon]

Champagne

[hollow gust]

You literally don't need them

[rain bobcat]

somehow getting dmg boost for w15 or backline is worse than crafting more than 3 wyverns?

[hollow gust]

There are so many good gold AA you can get that are more then sufficient for w15

In what world is it worth crafting rainbows AA for w15. If you have AA template already , then sure craft it ; no reason to spend blanks on them

[red sapphire]

Is it recommended to creaft at least 3 of the acc ones for the backlane

It's a good power up

[rain bobcat]

mate the same can be said for wyverns

every single other TB is enough before w14

[rapid shard]

I still fail to see how crafting a bunch of wyverns is more beneficial than AA guns. Your using 3-4 AA guns per fleet and 2 maybe 3 wyverns per fleet.

[hollow gust]

Wyverns are a fuck ton more useful to W15

[rain bobcat]

and ur not using >3 at once for >w14

you were implying that its only EVER worth using blanks on wyvern no matter what

[hollow gust]

They literally gave 1 wyvern , it's flatly just crafting 2 more and save the rest of blanks

[woven star]

🍿

[rain bobcat]

so I say that its 2 wyverns or 3 and you call me out for saying that blanks aren't only for wyverns

actual moment

[tame jungle]

u gotta chill

[late flame]

-# i used 27 blanks on AA so

[rapid shard]

Once you have the 2-3 wyverns crafted, what would you use the blanks for at that point? AA guns are beneficial for every unit in game

[hollow gust]

Yes blanks should be spent on only wyverns right now , which will have actual impact on both mob and boss fleet performance.

When they are late enough it doesn't matter what they spend on

[gilded carbon]

Sigh. I feel the need to apologize for this now.

[tame jungle]

dw you're not the one being unnecessarily argumentative and unconstructive

[red sapphire]

This is your channel to ask for help. No worry

[hollow gust]

Like for earlier game the rainbow AA has just as much impact as quintmag; You literally can't feel a difference. That's not even saying how wyverns have passive intercepts too

[woven star]

relax. it's always there 🍿 . take it as game part

[gilded carbon]

Ok.

Well. Im currently prepping for W13. If that is in any way important

[hollow gust]

It's actually just get more wyverns , sufficient CV and a AA carry for boss

[red sapphire]

Do you have Bréguets on your dock?

[gilded carbon]

2. Currently replacing my Mob-fleets Torp-Bombers with them

[rapid shard]

Wyverns are not necessary for W13 but are nice to have. Biggest thing is just having proper AA carry and correct plane/fleet setup.

[gilded carbon]

Given i may Run 3 CV in both fleets, the Wyvern and the Breguets will be in my Mob-fleet

[rapid shard]

If you need help making sure your fleets are setup right just make a thread and post what your running

[gilded carbon]

I will. When Sandy saw a few more lvl, i will undertake it

Thanks^^

[rapid shard]

Does she have her unique augment?

[gilded carbon]

Yes. And fully Retrofitted too

[forest palm]

if you're talking about Sandy, yes she has a UE

[gilded carbon]

Currently lvl 105

[hollow gust]

The most important thing is having enough CVs in each fleet. It's not only ACV but passive interception is extremely important for shooting down planes

[rapid shard]

1BB 2CV fleets long as you have correct vanguards will cover you plenty. 3CV is great long as they are geared correctly

[gilded carbon]

I was thinking about...
Shinano, Uni/Klaudia, any BB or good CV as needed for Mob. BB would be either Bis2 or Musa and a CV would be likely Hornet 2/Shangri-La

But Game is down, so No Screenshot

[rapid shard]

Musashi would be better on mob than Shinano tbh

[gilded carbon]

Why not both?

[red sapphire]

Sorry, I was away. Basically those are the lower tier Wyverns. You can slow down the Wyvern crafting a bit if you can use those

[gilded carbon]

Fleetbuilding Theory (No Screens because maint)

[gilded carbon]

All good. Yes, i saw that they where good so i got 2 ^^

[formal zenith]

Why is full clearing 15-3 so hard?

[wind hazel]

make it safe, then full clear 👍🏼

[formal zenith]

I can't bring myself to do it. I'm hoping when brest is maxed it will give me that extra edge I need in my mob fleet

[wind hazel]

then it will stay hard for you

[rain bobcat]

i mean.. you can run guam?

if ur trying to full clear just shove all the good ships in ur mob

ur boss will end up doing 1 fight only anyway

and fight battleship nodes when you have ammo

[red sapphire]

Perseus + Unicorn is ok for Mobbing?

[hollow gust]

Perferably not that combo

[red sapphire]

What's a good pair? For Healer I like more Perseus than Unicorn (personal preference), may be Theseus or a medal shop CV?

[wind hazel]

any good CV. independence saratoga whatever

just dont run double preload healer

[forest palm]

you'll be forced to use Unicorn for World 14 and World 15

[red sapphire]

Ohay that make sense

[wind hazel]

people ran perseus main healer w14 no problem in the past

[red sapphire]

Yeah I think so

It's just that I like Perseus a lot

[forest palm]

I know I only use Percy

[tidal dust]

Is it possible to 1:1 the event stages until stage D? Id like to use as little oul as possible to get to the oil cap stages

[forest palm]

ye, you can 1:1 even D Stages

[tulip tinsel]

u can 1:1 non hard stages

if one has every shipyard ships max dev and fs blueprint research still pops up or it just gone?

[quiet kiln]

W13 bosses manageable with Enterprise, Implacable and UvH?

[forest palm]

no, because Taihou's ads will eat your bombs

[quiet kiln]

ads?

[hollow gust]

More then enough assuming you level and mlb your ships

[quiet kiln]

Oh alright

[inland shoal]

Still pops up

[tulip tinsel]

ok thx

[hollow gust]

Although why UVH

[quiet kiln]

NJ on the mob fleet buffing Enty so UVH it is, i can replace UVH with Warspite but i want the cross fleet barrage

[grave mantle]

Probably that means enemies that spawn at the same time as boss

[sweet delta]

ads are advertisements

[quiet kiln]

Didn't taihou have a screen added to her 3d dorm

[grave mantle]

Additions can be also cut down to ads...

[sweet delta]

Adds

[forest palm]

ads, adds, mobs it's all the same

[quiet kiln]

W13 and above use AP for mobbing?

[atomic abyss]

yes

unless musashi, who still wants 410 kai

[icy sphinx]

Question should I get triple 234mm to level 12?

[forest palm]

no

no reason to go past +10 with that gun these days

[icy sphinx]

Ok

Which UR gun should I get to level 12? Or gold gun to level 12?

I can't get then to level 13 yet

[atomic abyss]

then dont get them past 10 at all

the biggest upgrade comes from 12 -> 13
which is greater than from 10 -> 12

[icy sphinx]

Oh ok,thx for the tip

[hallow mountain]

I'm stuck in the loading screen, anyone help?

I can't update my game at all

[woven star]

Net connection

[hallow mountain]

But it's fine

I'm typing messages in Discord alright

[woven star]

If it's infinite checking updates it's almost always net connection phone problem

[hallow mountain]

Could it be storage?

[woven star]

Not stable or too slow

[ivory pawn]

Considering maintenance is still ongoing, try again in a few hours.

It could easily be a hiccup on their end due to said maintenance.

[formal zenith]

Wish I had her. Most of the fleets that I see that clear it have her

[woven star]

Could be. One tip if used wifi disable if not - enable. For now got about 900mb update and login menu. But phone can be diff so just wait

[last zenith]

hmm

[woven star]

Unexpectedly OPening in first day

[tulip tinsel]

try restarting the game

[hallow mountain]

Yeah I'm using my wifi not data

[hallow mountain]

I have a couple of times

[tulip tinsel]

then the only thing i can suggest is #tech-support

[red sapphire]

What? The maintainance is not over yet, right?

[gilded carbon]

No. It still has an hour

[forest palm]

estimated maint is 8 hrs, it can go longer if something goes wrong

[whole crypt]

10 to 12 is 10%, 12 to 13 is 8%

12 to 13 is more increase per plate

[inland shoal]

technically 12 to 13 is only 7.3% increase cuz you shouldn't use +10 as baseline there

[tidal dust]

So how does one get to a point where oil isnt an issue?

[atomic abyss]

it... always is an issue unless you're a casual tbh

[forest palm]

you do reach a point where there's less value to coin, bullins, proto cores, core data, and so on, that said stuff like oil, cog chips, cog arrays, and gear lab mats will always be in demand

[tidal dust]

Like can i get to a point where i dont have to take days off to stock up on oil, like yesterday i only got my dailies done because i was stocking up on oil for the event,

[forest palm]

I suppose you could reach such a point, but that also depends on how you choose to play, also climbing campaign eats oil and there's no way around that

[stark quiver]

it becomes a non issue when you semi retire
im sitting on hard cap

[forest palm]

being a tech grinder means oil isn't exactly stable

[warped acorn]

do I just remain pancakes +10 or get them all to +13

[viscid swift]

why would you need to save oil for an event

[wind hazel]

10 is fine

[viscid swift]

you can start an event with 0 oil and still get all the important stuff by the end

[ivory pawn]

Even when I was in need of every gallon of oil I could get, I never felt the need to stockpile oil. Probably should’ve for York2 rerun, but can easily get everything important from shop even starting with 0.

[atomic abyss]

in my opinion

after playing for about a month or so, the average player shouldnt have oil shortages

because the average player is a casual

[sweet delta]

the average player quit before a month

[tidal dust]

Ive been playing 2 weeks, but i did waste alot farming before i found the newbie guide

[woven star]

Oil isn't a problem when you play less

[violet grail]

Basically if you're low on oil but still want to play, you do opsi. Also if you're only spending oil when the ships are above 120 morale and using 1:1 fleets on easy content you probably wont be running out that fast.

If you are actively pushing campaign getting to W9 or W12 tho its normal to run dry on oil.

Also unsure how much oil its worth stockpiling in mail. You could probs dip into that reserve a bit if you really want to play more.

[stark quiver]

1:1 as a noob

[gilded carbon]

What are good Ships to 1:1 anyway. Like, 1:1 for 12-4 or Event Hard-Modes

[woven star]

Outrange of 0lb something like ranger+z52, uni+Sirius

[stone sluice]

Any ship from new event that is worth pulling for?

[viscid swift]

they're tempesta so

[gilded carbon]

Ranger? Interesting.

She may need more lvl then

[viscid swift]

why not just use Unicorn

[tulip tinsel]

u cant 1:1 hard mode stuff cuz of fleet req

[viscid swift]

you can

[gilded carbon]

Ah. Yeah ok

[viscid swift]

all you need is one main fleet and one vanguard hull type filled for a fleet to qualify

then you stuff the other fleet with cross fleets and stat padders

[tulip tinsel]

wait yeah that can work

[woven star]

0lb ranger for low oil backline. Usually if vanguard can't handle you swap on unicorn. I prefer L'Audacieux+Unicorn. Sometimes Commet kai+0lb ranger. But no reconnection for last

[narrow kiln]

can anybody explain me what is tempesta cats?

[wind hazel]

cats with fixed talents

[narrow kiln]

Are they any better or worse than the usual ones?

[wind hazel]

worse than perfect cats, but most of them are good and useable until you can get the perfect cats

well not "most", but some lol

like drake, every

[oblique mortar]

does this minigame have like. an end? (I skipped the tutorial)

I trust this person!

[vital cloak]

should i use these in this or use the cubes in limited banners?

[atomic abyss]

use the cubes here
you only want to use cubes on UR banners
tempestas are usually big scams

[slow schooner]

is there any info on abilities of meowfficers from those latest events? i don't feel like buying blind

[wind hazel]

datamine 📌

[slow schooner]

oh right

[rocky lake]

anything in the event shop thats unique to it and worth grabbing?

[vital cloak]

what's Rental outfits?

[wind hazel]

as usual, if you see gear, grab it. grab ship if you don't get it from drop by the end of event. the rest as usual, cogs bps etc as needed

[vivid nebula]

Just to check, is Fancy only obtainable via gacha?

That 0.5 rate kinda sucks if ever

[cerulean oriole]

Is the musashi and other one supposed an ultra rare and able to grab?

[uneven knot]

are these ships usually mid?

[atomic abyss]

not mid, usually bad

[uneven knot]

damn 💀

at least they’re hot

[atomic abyss]

it turns out that ancient ships dont have a concept of shooting things out of the sky

[viscid swift]

Check the other event banner

[atomic abyss]

and given a lot of hard content in the game is centred around shooting down planes uh

[wicked sluice]

Hi all, is new banner worth summoning on

[true lichen]

Does the 3000 oil reward for maintenance not work if i have 4900/4800 oil already

[warm latch]

oil and coins from mail go to mail storage

[wind hazel]

you can collect up to 25000 hard cap, but no reason to go over your softcap

just withdraw when you need the oil

[atomic abyss]

no, pretty ass
save for limited UR banners

[true lichen]

Oh didnt know that was a thing now. Thank you

[atomic abyss]

it's been like that for over a year now

[true lichen]

Havent played for two so much nsfw now

[sharp echo]

anything good to buy?

[wind hazel]

drake, op af, albion for ply

[dawn wedge]

does someone got a JP Tier list i want to know if pearl is good yk yk

[forest palm]

JP doesn't really do tier lists, it's only EN and CN

[dawn wedge]

sad

[fiery swan]

can asama the ca from hakuhou event tank

[dawn wedge]

sooo is there a big brain here that knows in a second if i should get pearl for my formation? ty for every help

[sharp echo]

JP tier list probably waifu tier

[wind hazel]

you shouldn't, and you need fixing instead of adding more problem on your fleet

[dawn wedge]

aight ty

[rapid summit]

Was unzen event 1 or 2 weeks last time it was out?

[wind hazel]

3

[dawn wedge]

ik ik my fleet isnt good rn

[rapid summit]

Oh that’s plenty of time Ty

[wind hazel]

rerun dont follow their initial run

[sharp echo]

awww ss eva
but is this fix skill or random?

[wind hazel]

it's always 1 week for reruns, regardless it was 2 or 3 weeks initially

fix

ed

[sharp echo]

so the ss eva also always there?

[warped hazel]

what queen ann timer

[wind hazel]

seriously tho why do you guys always ask for the timer, what do you guys do with the timer

[forest palm]

I like the metadata side of things

[rapid summit]

Oh dam

[rapid summit]

Debating to if I want to go build for the ships now or save for unzen and more I wait more cubes

[wind hazel]

i'd rather save for unzen and collab than on these shit sailing frigates

good waifu tho

[rapid summit]

Ima do it just for fancy and then save

[forest palm]

Sailing Frigates only have value as collection

[rapid summit]

Looks like alsace a little

[wispy cosmos]

no

[fiery swan]

Does Clemenceau need flag

[wind hazel]

true

[violet grail]

does that mean still pulling on light banner for the 1 daily pull rather than event banners?

[wind hazel]

yes. if you have some savings you could do 3 a day and gamba

just do some maths and calculate your cubes til next month

[fiery swan]

I play FGO so I want Queen Anne's Revenge to go with Blackbeard

[primal yew]

There's still no faster way to clear events for the first time other than running 1:1 and manually moving each battle right

[violet grail]

im at 421 rn. but if i need 800 by december for unzen + new UR guess i cant go too crazy

[hushed sorrel]

indeed but overall if you do either normal or hard for each stage and sp it shouldnt be more than 70 enemies

[wind hazel]

technically 3:3 will clear faster than 1:1

[primal yew]

Boutta drain my oil like crazy

[wind hazel]

then go slower and use 1:1

[rapid summit]

Uh…

Do all final stages in an event have the same amount of stat requirements as other events?

[robust nymph]

is pearl only from gacha? i thought the 0.5% ship is from rewards usually

oh nvm shes from exchange

[violet grail]

i think i saw her in shop and as drop

[robust nymph]

if i have none of the ships of both banners should i try to pull them all or not really?

[violet grail]

if low cube count apparently not worth pulling for these ships

[cerulean oriole]

are the ultra rare suppose to be up for grab?

[warm latch]

not really worth it, you can do 3x daily build if you have a good amount of cubes already

[keen zealot]

I heard they also use for weekly submarines farm

[warm latch]

but theres a ur rerun, new ur and collab event all coming in the next couple of months

[robust onyx]

The Frigates are collection only

[wind hazel]

the easy way, can be done with normal submarines

[hushed sorrel]

a few selected are if you pull with 400 cubes. since its not a ur banner each pull counts toward the standard pity ur

[robust nymph]

also who do i go for? my shinano is maxxed already and i have ulrich at 0 lb

[wind hazel]

and if you're really desperate for easy clear, then royal fortune is on shop lol

[median prism]

Are all the event ships rn trash

[keen zealot]

yeah but I guess the gears farm is kinda worth it if you are in the events anyway

[cerulean oriole]

i was refeering to the Musashi and Fancy

[forest palm]

only needs to be done once, and then it's back to being useless

[wind hazel]

how is gear farm related to pulling the ships

[wind hazel]

vanguard

or hold onto it until musashi lol

[robust nymph]

is shimakaze great?

[robust onyx]

Power crepted badly

[hushed sorrel]

Musashi isnt available right now in that pity pool or elsewhere and fancy isnt a ur.

in this event dropable are the ships available for event currency

[robust onyx]

Yes

[robust nymph]

cause i kinda wanted a vanguard ship not a main fleet ship from the exchange

all my best ships are main fleet ones already for some reason

[robust onyx]

Shimakaze and kron are not that great compared to the other options

Unzen rerun is around the corner and she power crepted Shimakaze

[robust nymph]

okay thank you

ill just pull for waifu im not interested in any of these really

[warm phoenix]

does this event not have a hard mode?

[wind hazel]

no

[rapid summit]

Does the event have a stat requirement the more you progress in it like the fool scale event?

[wind hazel]

also no

[rapid summit]

Okk ty

[robust nymph]

do yat sen and chen hai need a special item for their retrofit?

[wind hazel]

no

[robust nymph]

which one is a better ship of the two?

[wind hazel]

different use but yat sen has better use

[edgy saffron]

What do i pull on guys. Notice only special has UR chance rn

[fair mountain]

Why are there planes in this event???? none of the event ships can do anything against planes....

[wind hazel]

chen hai at best is a mid tier support w15 fleet

[viscid swift]

save, we have a UR rerun and a date a live collab next month

[wind hazel]

so dont use the event ships

[viscid swift]

and you might wanna give this a read
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[robust nymph]

does this gear make any sense on her

[wild sinew]

wait

[wheat ore]

who should i get on the UR exchange? I don't have any of them yet

[wild sinew]

where is hard mode in the event?

[rapid summit]

Does this go to certain stuff, everything, or maybe like just coins or something?
