[wanton spear]

are any of the tempesta ships worth using cubes for

[ivory pawn]

Not really, no. Pure collection.

[wanton spear]

ok

[wheat ore]

what's the best way to farm these? I'm always low on them

[wanton spear]

you get those from just sortieing i think

also supply

[wheat ore]

supply like the shop?

[wanton spear]

yeah

[onyx flame]

There no specific way to farm em other then doing stages that drop em and praying. You can also buy some from event shop when its around

[safe nexus]

First fleet is mob and second is boss, is the lineup good? (don't have any other ship)

[weary edge]

is north carolina good for w13?

[soft raft]

No lmao

[weary edge]

lol

[soft raft]

sure she has High AA but like
That's it

Her damge sucks ass, and BBs arent really supposed to be AA focused anyways

and most of the time Backliner AA just means they take less crash damage from enemy planes that slip by your vanguard

[weary edge]

btw ive never seen these before should i do these

[lean valley]

Depends how quickly you want the ship dev30 and how many cubes you have

Ultimately they are basically the best reseach in terms of time / prints

But as usual, don't use cubes unless you have at least enough to pity an UR or really know what you're doing

[full pumice]

anyone know the SR ship drop rates from the event stages?

[dark hazel]

server side info, nobody knows

[full pumice]

not rates, meant pool*

like which ships can drop

[dark hazel]

It's usually the ships that are in the currency shop iirc

[full pumice]

so the only way I can get QAR is the 2%?

[ivory pawn]

Pearl's the drop ship this event.

Amity cannot.

[ivory pawn]

Seems fine. Swap Sandy and Portland, and Saratoga and Albion.

[violet grail]

How impactful would Independence from core shop be if my current mlb lv 120+ CV(L)s are Hakuhou, Centaur, Impero, Unicorn?

My other option im looking at atm is to buy blackburn firebrand to craft my first UR weapon wyvern, without it I would need an extra 21 military electronics.

Currently dont have any good ships to level so im mostly just leveling Ironblood ships to get the 2M xp for Roon and waiting around for eldridge to cycle back in merit shop.

[weary gust]

Independence is better than Centaur and Impero, but more than that she's useful for her crossfleet buff and staggered airstrike timing when mobbing.
Don't buy the blackburn. Just regularly farm opsi and you'll get far more components than you need.

[wheat ore]

is there any reason to upgrade this if i don't use indianapolis

[vast bear]

no

[ivory pawn]

You shouldn't be using Indianapolis, so you can just ignore Portland's skills entirely.

[wheat ore]

what's the best way to raise ship level? cuz if i bring them to w13 they just get one shot, the ship is aorund lvl 110 btw

[soft raft]

Why are you doing W13
Go do W12

[wheat ore]

cuz that's the world level i'm on? that's what i'm asking, do i just repeat sortie 12-4 until my ship is level 120 or something

[tulip lagoon]

How the fuck to beat world 14-3 nodes fully?

[rain bobcat]

you can equip mass amounts of air radars

depending on ships, it could vary from needing air radars to you just not using the right equipment

eitherway 13-4 is only recommended for those who actively want to get lots of coins

12-4 is much easier on your ships for the same amount of exp/slightly better exp for the price of less coin

[lost shadow]

Why cant i switch role no matter where i click on?

[rain bobcat]

use a really good team or get it to safe

[tulip lagoon]

You can't get safe without cleaning it to 3 starts first

[rain bobcat]

you can..

[lost shadow]

Thx

[rain bobcat]

3 star and 100% are independent of each other

[tulip lagoon]

Really? I cleaned it several times and nothing changed

[rain bobcat]

threat only starts to degrade X clears AFTER 100%

[soft raft]

You can only do that when you have two fleets
if you only have one fleet active, it's automatically set to "All enemies" Since well, there's not another fleet that can help out

[tulip lagoon]

Let's test out my node fleet and I don't give a fuck if their level is not 125 and their skills are not 10

[rain bobcat]

i can't clear full node help
uses ship 40 and 20 levels behind optimal respectively

[tulip lagoon]

I'm too good for that :3

[soft raft]

Ah yes a lvl 87 Kawakaze
against lvl ~120 enemies

Have fun with your massive lvl disadvantadge, and Perseus's +90% longer reload screwing her over wont help things either

[tulip lagoon]

You know it's not my first time cleaning 14-3 so I perfectly know that it's gonna be a pain in the ass 👍

[soft raft]

Then why the fuck are you shooting yourself in the foot!?
Just go farm lower worlds until you're ready, it's not like W14 is gonna go poof tomorrow

[rain bobcat]

the stats are one thing -- but per level you are behind the enemy you deal 2% less damage flat so ur kawa is minimum debuffed into dealing only 34% of her normal damage

at that point any DD at 120 will be better

[wheat ore]

when should i start worrying about the cats?

[rain bobcat]

you don't need them period

[tulip lagoon]

Let me reveal you a secret, I cleaned the world 13-4 with a kearsarge lvl 1 😂😂😂

[rain bobcat]

but if you have cat boxes, may as well queue them at all times and check wiki for what talents you might want to lock

[wheat ore]

wait really?

[rain bobcat]

you don't need cats, they're just a pretty decent boost in damage

[wheat ore]

ah okay

[rain bobcat]

tempesta gold cats are very good, you should probably look into raising them first

[soft raft]

Min maxxing them is quite literal endgame shit when you have nothing else to spend coins on

But at the very least just have 2 SR ones at lvl 30 since those help your drops from meowfficer nodes in OpSi

[wheat ore]

i see ty

[spare harbor]

who do i get after fdg again
is it anchorage

[rain bobcat]

not particularly a hard feat lol

[soft raft]

Ok?
Like that means much when the main threats in W13 are different than W14

That also doesnt really tell me much either cuz she could've just been massively hypercarried by everyone else

[rain bobcat]

I could easily make it so that a level 1 backline doesn't even take a speck of damage in 13-4

[tulip lagoon]

Check out my boss fleet against light armor(they are equipped with heavy armour guns and planes)

[tulip lagoon]

I know it's not that hard but I'm just saying I'm ready to do crazy things

[rain bobcat]

really that example boss fleet isn't even a part of it

because on the w14 clear you are shooting urself in the foot, and for the boss fleet ur not because that thing can use any decent gear and kill all of opsi easily

hell im using triple BB AP guns and I kill temperance in 3 salvos

[robust nymph]

wait huh? why can i do this step infinite times

[rain bobcat]

thats just vg and main fleet mode

[robust nymph]

so do i leave it like that?

[rain bobcat]

well leave it in vanguard mode since DDG backline is useless

[robust nymph]

oh okay, didnt know some ships had this option

[rain bobcat]

ddg exclusive

[tulip lagoon]

That's what I expected, but it was still a fun experience :3

But I will managed to clean it

[viscid swift]

might I suggest a better fleet and gear to make life easier

[soft raft]

It's a toggle to switch between Main fleet and Vanguard mode
Which like already stated above, Main fleet mode us useless as hell

[spare harbor]

What r these red bars

[sweet delta]

/detection

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Detection Level:
If the gauge hasn't been filled, your carriers gains "hidden buff", which is 10% flat AA resistance reduction to enemies (basically they deal more dmg) and they can't be chosen as a valid target (enemies BB won't attack your CV when hidden).
If the gauge has been filled, there will be an exclamation mark (!) displayed to the side of the gauge, and your carriers lose the "hidden buff". They will regain the buff when the gauge level falls below the red line.
The gauge will be slowly filled if spotted by the enemy (both planes and ships) if they crossed the detection line, when they are burning, and when launching an airstrike.
Credit: -It's Rajaku-#1817 and Newbie#1553

For more information, consult the wiki

[spare harbor]

ok interesting thx

[sweet delta]

Not that it would go from that bad of a loss to a win, but have you considered not using single line when the vanguard is dying that badly?

[tulip lagoon]

Fuck I forgot about fleet formation thing

But anyways it's not a serious fleet with kawakaze lvl 87 and skills lvl 1

[tulip lagoon]

Good idea... But that doesn't really apply to me, cause I'm just playing 6 months and don't have much good ships and good gears 👍

[viscid swift]

Then work towards getting better ships and gea4

and at least get everyone to 120 yeesh

[brisk dragon]

best team for current META boss?

[urban mountain]

are my fleets good

[brisk dragon]

is lvl 117 too low for recommended ships?

[forest palm]

• Soyuz would be better off in the 2nd Fleet
• Independence would be better in the 1st Fleet
• August would be better in the 3rd Fleet
• Kazagumo would be better off in the 3rd Fleet

also dump Ulrich

[brisk dragon]

how do get that gun right in the middle?

[forest palm]

PR6

it's the Twin 150 Tbtsk C42T

[brisk dragon]

is it this? yes it is. ty

[spare harbor]

this isnt really gameplay but what country is tempesta meant to be
or is it completely fictiona

[forest palm]

ask #al-lore they'll likely give you a more concise answer

[brisk dragon]

is that an overall good gun?

[forest palm]

good, not really? it's very niche that's for sure

[urban mountain]

this better?

[brisk dragon]

rip i crafted 7 of it

[forest palm]

it's fine just toss it on some ship you don't use, and if it comes up it comes up

[forest palm]

again follow what I said, which you didn't entirely do so

[urban mountain]

Sorry misread

[brisk dragon]

i only have 1 copy of this gun and guide show 2
one for Alsace and other for Chapayev

craftable ?

[forest palm]

not yet, you just use the next best option, Alsace doesn't need the Quad 152

[brisk dragon]

what's a good 2nd option?

[urban mountain]

Here we go, ik chkalov needs some levels. All pr ships used are maxxed tho

[brisk dragon]

i build teams once every few months so i often find things different/forget what i did last time

[forest palm]

don't worry about the 4th fleet, the first 3 Fleets are gonna do you more favors if they're built correctly

[urban mountain]

Got it thx

guam should probably be used elsewhere then

[forest palm]

simplest BB Aux Gun is the 155 or 155 Kai, unless it's 14/15 which wants specific Aux Guns on the BB

[forest palm]

she could fit into the 3rd fleet, drop Shimakaze

have Gaum in the front where Laffey is

[brisk dragon]

ehh it's just for META boss

[gray sphinx]

1st fleet vanguard could use some updating too. Neptune in 2025 is 💀

[forest palm]

again 155 will do fine

[urban mountain]

I figured vanguard didnt matter that much

[forest palm]

Neptune with UE is actually good(?)

[gray sphinx]

Ehhh still better options imo but if you got none ig

[urban mountain]

where do you use laffey

[brisk dragon]

how do i get this ? and what can replace it?

[forest palm]

again Laffey can stay in that fleet, just drop Shimakaze

[gray sphinx]

the downgrade to that is the HSFCR, but the AFCT is currently unattainble

[gray sphinx]

If you want to look at some alternatives you can give that a skim

[bronze solstice]

+13 gear does do more damage than +10 even outside opsi right?

[quasi finch]

Should I focus TRP or RLD?

[brisk dragon]

hmm
is this main gun 112 dual purpose that i found in gear lab?
and i can't find the torp

[hushed sorrel]

i dont know, but you might want to give https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide a read

[brisk dragon]

there is way too many new equips :c

[forest palm]

that's the Single 113, it's in the British subsection, the Torpedo launcher is unattainable

just continue to use the Quad Mag

[rapid shard]

That torp is from a old event

[forest palm]

not really old lol

[brisk dragon]

which event? i don't remember missing any

[forest palm]

it came from like I think the daycare event last year

it was run in another event

[brisk dragon]

was it in shop or farmable?

[forest palm]

it was a point only reward

[brisk dragon]

hmmm weird. i don't remember missing any point reward stuff....

[forest palm]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Welcome_to_Little_Academy
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Substellar_Crepuscule

[brisk dragon]

unless the event was loaded with stuff. i might have missed it somehow :c

[forest palm]

it's the Improve Quad Magnetic

[brisk dragon]

ay ye 113. i typo'd. my bad

[twilit wren]

i got pearl from t6, should i continue doing it for event currency?

[forest palm]

grind up to at most 55k points

but you can skip out on purchasing Pearl from the shop

[twilit wren]

cool thx

[brisk dragon]

are those normal AA guns or Time Fuze or whatever i'm reading in gear lab?

as if guns aren't confusing enough that make 2 with same icon.... :c

[forest palm]

Time Fuze AA Guns are virtually useless to every ship except North Carolina w/ UE

[brisk dragon]

ok good

don't remember this AA gun before. what it is for? speed ?

[forest palm]

which?

[brisk dragon]

the one in screenshot above. shown on 4 different ships

twin 134

[forest palm]

the Twin 134 is essentially a stat stick to give the ships it use an extra bit of FP

functionally as an AA gun it sucks lol

[brisk dragon]

aaaaaaaa i was trying to make sense what FP is for AA
it's just simply Fire Power. overall stat for the ship

os lvl 117 too low for META boss?

[forest palm]

not quite, but 120 would be better

[brisk dragon]

yee ik

i don't have time to lvl them up rn

[tulip lagoon]

Use sortie

And x2 books

[brisk dragon]

leveling other ships/farming PR

as long as i do over 50% dmg to META boss i'm good

[tulip lagoon]

I want fucking Musashi

I got no ships and gears against heavy armor

[sweet delta]

Musashi fucking goes in #al-general or not even since it's nsfw

Lion Meck someone is best against heavy, not Musashi btw

[slow fox]

-# omg modshigummyu

[brisk dragon]

ehh i think this like exactly 50% dmg?

[tulip lagoon]

Funny cause in the first place is Mecklenburg and second is MUSASHI and I don't develop German fleet so my only option is MUSASHI

[sweet delta]

1540000 is Yuudachi meta

[brisk dragon]

50% is 770
i did sliiightly over 50%

hmmmm
Trafalgar died around 20-15 seconds before battle ends

[viscid swift]

considering you don't need a IB fleet to make Mecklenburg good

[sweet delta]

Making her not main tank would help

[brisk dragon]

who would main tank tho?

[viscid swift]

Eldridge

[slow fox]

-# eld maintank mentioned

[tulip lagoon]

I don't have Germans to build Mecklenburg I scraped them all :3

[brisk dragon]

oh she's a tank? i'll try

[viscid swift]

okay

[sweet delta]

As usual these pictures show vanguard as rotated from the slanted fleet screen. They're also numbered 1 2 3 where 1 is the main tank

[viscid swift]

your self handicap

[tulip lagoon]

I don't like Germans anyways

[viscid swift]

I literally don't care

[tulip lagoon]

I'll beat the game with us and the British fleets anyways

[viscid swift]

ok

[brisk dragon]

u mean here bottom is main tank?

[viscid swift]

yes

[brisk dragon]

i read it the other way around. top in main tank

[rain bobcat]

lion still hits harder even on heavy

[rain bobcat]

wait shouldn't that thing still hit like 1 mil without +13

or are you also lacking in tech

[brisk dragon]

hmmmmm not idea . i only build teams once every few months

i lacking that UR CL gun " got 1 copy"
i only got 1 copy of that UR Aux on the BBs
and i don't the those torps on Tarfalag

skill levels are meh too

can't say i duplicated that fleet properly

[brisk dragon]

i might be ? don't remember last time i checked. while i have full collection i don't remember actually leveling that tech thing

[rain bobcat]

ur gonna be missing about a quarter of your damage if ur BB cannot get 4 shots off

[brisk dragon]

what do u suggest?

[tulip lagoon]

But it's still not enough to kill artibter in guild boss (I don't really know types of arbiters)

So I borrowed Sovietsky soyuz

[viscid swift]

considering that it's only a level 115 boss

[tulip lagoon]

Guild bosses have levels?

Huh never knew

I thought they only have armour type

[viscid swift]

enemies always have a level, level advantage is a mechanic in this game and quite a powerful one too

[sweet delta]

Compiler is 125

[rain bobcat]

I don't even think any BB can solo carry guild boss with other backlines doing like <50k dmg because theres barely enough time

[sweet delta]

At best they can solo carry damage while being buffed by 5 or more ships

[rain bobcat]

if you hyperbuff then might be possible yeah

[brave musk]

some1 help me wich team i should build?

[sharp socket]

what content are you building for

campaign, w14, w15, opsi, etc

[eternal moth]

And do you have Unicorn?

[storm spire]

Who should i choose from UR exchange lineup

I have shimakaze

[wind hazel]

do you have musashi? if not hold until musashi gets added

[eternal moth]

You can either choose Shinano, or wait until either this Thursday or next (not sure when it will happen) and get Musashi

[storm spire]

Will do 👍 ty

[uneven knot]

unzen should be getting added soon too right?

[eternal moth]

Yeah, she'll be added at the same time as Musashi

2 separate events: Unzen rerun, and Musashi's event being added to WA

[uneven knot]

damn they really tryna drain us of cubes before the UR in december

[eternal moth]

It said that'd occur during the next maintenance, so if they set up maintenance this Thursday it'll be this week, otherwise it'll be next. Since there are already 2 banners running, I think it'll be next instead.

[sweet delta]

Wdym they be tryna drain cubes now, when they tryna drain cubes all the time with lood new ships every month

[uneven knot]

actually tho after coming back to this game i never realized how many event there are 😭

[stoic forge]

which cl gun should i get

[brave musk]

chap 13

[sick kettle]

are there any gold ship thats worth developing in pr7?

[hollow gust]

Everyone is really good but Halford

[stoic forge]

is joffre a good cv

[hollow gust]

medicore

[soft raft]

Her tech is mid too, +2 HP and +1 AA

[stoic forge]

still gonna use her

[rain bobcat]

if you have good enough fleets you can easily swap 1-2 people out for whatever waifu you have and still clear any content

it just makes it much harder for people who are lacking in strength

[glad light]

so which is more worthwhile: Pearl or Queen Anne's Revenge?

[safe nexus]

ty

[stark quiver]

queen annes revenge seems better than pearl

[rain bobcat]

opposite imo

[stark quiver]

how so?

[rain bobcat]

I like anne better so ill use her over but pearl has higher self buff and guaranteed barrage

[glad light]

also pearl has the better skin, personally

[stark quiver]

thats if youre runna QAR solo
and her second skill is much better than pearl's

[rain bobcat]

is anyone speed raising them btw

lmk performance in stronghold/boss and w15

[stark quiver]

garbage in w15
ass in stronghold/boss

[rain bobcat]

first impressions seems like they clear mobs quite nicely and have decent alpha though

does her dmg just suck ass compared to oumi

im broke in oil so cant really level her and have affinity quickly

[glad light]

QAR or Pearl?

[rain bobcat]

mainly QAR im curious about

[glad light]

so which of the 2 event banners are more worth the cubes

[viscid swift]

both are equally dubious/collection filler

[rain bobcat]

new one technically

but they're all just collection and mostly useless

[stark quiver]

QAR seems better

[uneven knot]

how long does it usually take u guys to do both combat data collections for research ships

[wind hazel]

2-3 days

[uneven knot]

damn i been slacking

are u 12-4 farming?

[wind hazel]

12-1 lul

[uneven knot]

interesting, any reason for 12-1?

[wind hazel]

better exp per oil

[uneven knot]

i may have to try that my next research ship

[sick kettle]

does a pr ship with dev 30 still able to receive its bp from H research?

[wind hazel]

yes

[icy sphinx]

Is it worthy to get French triple 406mm gun to +10?

[heavy zealot]

Do i just save the pity ? Already mlb shinano and nj

[icy sphinx]

No idea

[wind hazel]

save for musashi if you dont have her

[heavy zealot]

I get her?

[wind hazel]

soon

[wind hazel]

which one is that

406/50?

[heavy zealot]

What the hell is sailing frigate, btw is she any good?

[icy sphinx]

Yes

[wind hazel]

worth to even +13

[icy sphinx]

Not have for +13 yet but good to know, thx

[heavy zealot]

Whassat?

[icy sphinx]

406mm gun L/50 barrel

[wind hazel]

this

[icy sphinx]

L/50 barrel is 406mm×50= the lenght of the gun

[icy sphinx]

Yes

[hollow gust]

Huh teach is actually a decent alt CV cat

[icy sphinx]

Also, isn't it better to use the brit AP shell instead of the jap one?

[wind hazel]

no

[icy sphinx]

Why?

[wind hazel]

it's worse on average

[icy sphinx]

Stats wise?

[wind hazel]

it basically give lower low and higher high on an average compared to white shell

so it kinda loses out on the average because of the lows

there's some graph by yahoo if you wanna ctrl+F on this channel

and the fact that it's locked only for HMS ship kinda suck, so not recommended to +13 it

[icy sphinx]

Wiki it has less firepower than japanese one but better accuracy, also a 30% more crit damage compared to 25% more crit damage on japanese one

[wind hazel]

yes the lower fp contribute to the lower lows, the hit dont matter because we can cap the hit rate with eva debuffer etc

so it's trading lower fp for higher crit dmg, hence lower low and higher high

[hollow gust]

Have people tested Teach Meow, pretty sure it's better then most purple CV cats

[stark quiver]

teach doesnt give my 82 reload meaning its ass

[wind hazel]

what's there to test lol

it has flame, 10 rld, and XX AVI stats, that's it

[stark quiver]

solve for x pls

[icy sphinx]

Ahhhhh, now I understand what you mean

I'm kinda sleepy

[wind hazel]

27 avi? i think

like my purple shit cat already give higher rld and avi

so what's there to test really

[hollow gust]

3ACC/30AVI/10Rld

[wind hazel]

unless im missing something really special from its command

[stark quiver]

perfect purple

[knotty jolt]

We love cat math

[wind hazel]

right 30avi, idk why mine is +7

unleveled

[hollow gust]

Not maxed

[scarlet cosmos]

so from what i saw, oumi is best SR BB, and also great for bossing. What would be the best SR BB for mobbing?

[wind hazel]

it's good for people who dont have great cats

[scarlet cosmos]

(sorry ive been obsessed over SR BBs over URs lately 😅 )

[hollow gust]

Although my purple cat is prob better thinking about it

[wind hazel]

like every and drake, that's about it

[stark quiver]

Is this a good general cat

[wind hazel]

yeah it's like Power Ranger Megazord

[hollow gust]

Damn if I had soul instead of destiny it would be better

The rest are basically perfect

[stark quiver]

what a grinder lol

[hollow gust]

I took too long of a break, my Gouden only Dev25 only 63 gun prints too

[safe nexus]

does special item tokens from opsi get converted to supply shop voucher?

[thorn tartan]

I just noticed a bunch of meta ships in the "meta" shop tab. What is that blue currency; 60 for each meta ship.

Also, meta ships don't take doc space right?

[knotty jolt]

The blue currency thing are crystal fragments, which are obtained from weekly missions. Also yes they don't take dock space

[tropic tusk]

thers no prgroass bar on this ? is it a 1 time thing only? like if i got it last year , this yeaer i cant get it?

[plain saffron]

it havne't been 7 days yet, and yeah no progress bar somehow

[thorn tartan]

It says unobtained 1/1 for about 10 ships. Does this mean I can only get 1 crystal for that meta ship? Don't I need 5

[knotty jolt]

after buying the meta ship it's like 30 crystal fragments per limit break crystal

[tropic tusk]

i know its not yet 7 days my main problem was the prograss bar

[plain saffron]

you can only get each ship once, then crystals until maxed

[thorn tartan]

are the crystal frag used for anything else?

[knotty jolt]

you can buy meta skill books and upgrade materials with them

[plain saffron]

by progress bar you mean reward for each day until last?

[tropic tusk]

ya or is it only 1 reward on the 7th day?

[plain saffron]

only 1 on last

[tropic tusk]

ok thx

[thorn tartan]

I have about 1700 frag: IS there any reason not to go buy all my missing meta ships in the shop?

[tropic tusk]

theres 0 reason to buy them to begin with

[knotty jolt]

Literally no reason not to for tech, collection, or stats

[tropic tusk]

unless u aiming for 100% collection

[thorn tartan]

you don't get collection tech?

[knotty jolt]

oh right

[tropic tusk]

they count on colleciton

[rain bobcat]

half of them there have rld tech

thats abt it

[tropic tusk]

u just need 1 meta ship to use to kill QE meta and thats all

[lean valley]

They also don't take up dock space

So like, why not get them (unless you really want the meta books)

[tropic tusk]

theres no rush also they arent going anywhere

[knotty jolt]

The crystal fragments otherwise have no other use and just another number

[tropic tusk]

that shop is perma

[thorn tartan]

so the only reason is that there is no rush then

[knotty jolt]

Go at your own pace

Most aren't useful tbh outside of tech stats

[thorn tartan]

i mean, that applies to 98% of the ships right

[tropic tusk]

yes

[knotty jolt]

Imo get hunter meta atleast cause the comments are great on her lol all just bloodborne jokes

[tropic tusk]

the only meta u will be using is jintsuu meta but shes from the archrive meta fight thingy

[thorn tartan]

I"m going to get them all right now. No reason not to have the collection tech.

[tropic tusk]

just so u know u need same as usual , mlb , 120

[thorn tartan]

yeah, i've leveled a few meta ships so far, mainly for reload techs; but also because they don't require gold bulins........

[tropic tusk]

yep they require their own meta shard

which if ur buying from shop u need to buy their shard from shop also

[thorn tartan]

eventually

[onyx flame]

meta doesnt need lb to lvl to 120 do they?

[tropic tusk]

no idea never tried

[onyx flame]

looking at the wiki it says it doesnt

[tropic tusk]

then it doesnt

[rain bobcat]

no

[plain saffron]

doesn't yeah

but they'll also be very shit without LB

[rain bobcat]

^

[tropic tusk]

when is this event finish ?

[rain bobcat]

2 weeks

nov 6

[tropic tusk]

2 more weeks to pull the last ship from banner wish me luck

[rain bobcat]

lemme guess QAR

[thorn tartan]

i only got QAR so far

[tropic tusk]

yep

already like 80 in?

[rain bobcat]

bro yknow the funny thing
I cleared entire new banner before 40 pulls
I got dupes of the entire second banner non rated up within 100

and I still needed to go 150 deep for QAR

all in the same banner

[tropic tusk]

that sucks

[thorn tartan]

there's no pity for non-ur right

[rain bobcat]

no

[tropic tusk]

yep there is none

[rain bobcat]

you can go 1000 pulls for an elite

[tropic tusk]

this pull count is going to perma

[rain bobcat]

dunno if someone has gone that deep but defiintely hundreds ive gone for an elite

[thorn tartan]

that's why i don't try very hard for non-ur. I'll wait 3 years for it to drop in a pool i guess......

[tropic tusk]

i did try 50 pull no elite

[thorn tartan]

but I got QAR on my first pull

i was thinking maybe the game juices your first pull or something

[tropic tusk]

its just rng

[uncut wren]

Hi, are any of the new ship good for end game?

[rain bobcat]

no, horrible

[uncut wren]

So not anything like fancy ?

[rain bobcat]

fancy isn't event good for late game

lyme is slightly less tanky than fancy, idk about damage

[uncut wren]

Been using her as an off tank in w14

Anyway thanks for the help

[red sapphire]

What's a good vanguard for Hakuhou AvP Shinano? Anchorage Kazagumo Helena/Sirius?

[rain bobcat]

gamba for damage vs consistency upto u

without guam basically ancho is one of ur good tanks

you can also full gamble with sirius kazagumo helena

[split gazelle]

you might want helena for your BB team if its for opsi

[wind hazel]

depends vs which boss

[red sapphire]

Hmm I'm going Sirius then I think

For consistency

[red sapphire]

OpSi general content

[wind hazel]

[red sapphire]

Should I use Sirius for that more than Helena?

[wind hazel]

you can use sirius vs temp strength

you can drop sirius for something like Unzen against hermit

[red sapphire]

Don't have Unzen yet. I will use Sirius for now

[wind hazel]

sure

[compact pelican]

How do you get gifts for your shipgirl?

[onyx flame]

island planner #1422463299877867540

[compact pelican]

Thanks

[thorn tartan]

So there are 4 new ships to pull and 1 from points right?

The pin doesn't have the usual breakdown of the ships and their building timers.

[wind hazel]

asking again, why do you guys want the timer 😭

[smoky grail]

guys I have a question

[thorn tartan]

Can I get one from stages?

[onyx flame]

pearl is from t6

[wind hazel]

t6, sp, shop*

[thorn tartan]

so, 3 you have to pull, 1 you might get from stage, else pull, and one for points

[wind hazel]

literally buy her, dont have to pull for pearl

[thorn tartan]

oh, right, from points. I might start working on T5 for the cannon.... I don't really need more T6 cannons. Plus the tier list says to use the 12 pounder instead of the old cannon

[wind hazel]

you can buy 2 from shop

[thorn tartan]

oh, well i might not need more than 2 more demi-cannons.....

since the main sailing ships can only use 1 anyway

[wind hazel]

ye if im not wrong you only need total of 3 for martinho, sawai and anne

[thorn tartan]

yeah, that sounds right.

And we have 3 now. Plus I have the prints already for 1 more........ I"m rich

[wind hazel]

if you had 1 from previous event then you dont need to farm at all, can just buy the 2 from shop and done

[onyx flame]

pearl also uses 1

[wind hazel]

oh right i dont have pearl

she's also main fleet?

[onyx flame]

yea

[wind hazel]

4 i guess lol

[thorn tartan]

we can field a full tempesta fleet now! for what's it's worth

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 but using 4 mainfleet tempesta sound cringe anyway

[thorn tartan]

I"m going to stick them in my pvp defense fleet. maybe you get lucky and get it

[rain bobcat]

ppl somehow saving drills but wanting to feel excitement or disappointment

[rapid summit]

Will mogador and Alsace return 2026 Or later?

[onyx flame]

should be later half of 2026

[rapid summit]

Okk Ty

[tropic tusk]

have u try restarting the game

thats wt happen when ur in a rush

dont even look at all event rewards / shops then just stright up buying things

[onyx flame]

i mean you can only get amity from this current event shop or gacha only

[tropic tusk]

ya it is

i am done with this event banner should be 120 ish pull

[limpid moon]

Anyone got a rough estimate on when unzen banner might be

[forest palm]

roughly after the current event ends, it's hard to tell with these things

[limpid moon]

If it is the next event, might be over for me as I don’t have enough for guaranteed ur

[onyx flame]

supposedly, 6th nov

[forest palm]

you get 45 free pulls, so the bar is lower, but ya it's a rough time for newer players this time of the years if patterns hold up

[limpid moon]

Sat at around 110 pulls rn

[onyx flame]

you make it to pity

wait how long does ur rerun last?

[forest palm]

1

[limpid moon]

1 week iirc

[onyx flame]

okay you might not make it

[limpid moon]

Clearly will get 10 unzens on the first 10 pull

[onyx flame]

if my math is right its like super close

[forest palm]

I mean... 155 pulls is more than likely to get the UR unless the individuals luck is absolutely rancid

[onyx flame]

me when hakuhou came from pity at 200

[limpid moon]

Hoping my luck won’t be as bad as when I returned to playing again earlier this year

[spare harbor]

do i use up my bulins on musashi when she comes to permanent pool

[limpid moon]

I’d say yeah

[forest palm]

if your UR BB roster isn't stacked go for it

[limpid moon]

Idk much on meta and all that though

[north gorge]

I'd at least wait until we see what we get at the end of the year for the new UR(s)

[forest palm]

Collab will be latter next month as well

[limpid moon]

Another collab? I’m done for

[forest palm]

it should be the Date-A-Live one they(devs) talked about

[spare harbor]

just warspite nj and ulrich

[forest palm]

ya Musashi will be a hefty upgrade to you

[spare harbor]

alr ty

wbout cvs
i have essex and shnano

[rain bobcat]

I would recommend just completely skipping using cubes on unzen

[limpid moon]

Could

[rain bobcat]

she is not particularly someone who will be massively helpful throughout

[limpid moon]

My vanguard ships are kinda meh compared to my main rn

[rain bobcat]

furthermore, new UR comes on december and a date a live collab is scheduled to happen mid november

[spare harbor]

wai deadass?
hell yeah im saving

[limpid moon]

Full saving probably would be better with both collab and new ur

[rain bobcat]

even vanguard wise alone -- completely disregarding the fact that a backline ship will usually be 200% more valuable, unzen is not someone who is used frequently

[spare harbor]

so no info on the new ur?

[rain bobcat]

the last time unzen was used for a completely meta purpose was last year's META. Today, she is used mostly as a speed clear unit or just a flex unit on heavy

[forest palm]

the next UR won't be till like mid to late dec

[rain bobcat]

leaks dont exist in this game

EN only gets "leaks" hours before the EN maintenance ends because CN server finishes their maintenance way earlier and has the files

every single server gets the same events at roughly the same date

[limpid moon]

Also wanted to ask how viable is york2, Essex retro for heavy compared to shinano and hak

[rain bobcat]

opposite ends of the spectrum in use case

[limpid moon]

Damn

[rain bobcat]

one is one of the best for light and very suboptimal for heavy and one is one of the best comps for heavy while being mediocre against light

[limpid moon]

Probably should mlb shinano and hak? Already have the first 2 built

[rain bobcat]

with a fat enough account thrown at the boss, it can kill still

if you have lion no need

[limpid moon]

That’s my top leveled ships rn

[tropic tusk]

From wht I see that's just a bunch of UR stuff together

[limpid moon]

Rn just leveling my fleets

Should of said my top leveled ships in dock

[tropic tusk]

That's better XD

[rain bobcat]

shinano should be acquired from just redeeming her from perma pity over and over again

and either way, you can use musashi lion zwei

to kill basically anything

[tropic tusk]

That's after U completed the rest for tech points

Unless U don't have that much space to do that

[limpid moon]

Yeah that’s what I’m running rn for boss but wanted to build cvs since I can’t really do anything else for my bbs except get ur gear

[rain bobcat]

to be honest with +13 even wih AP guns you can easily kill opsi light boss with BBs

the problem is from a completely meta boss fleet perspective, the only "great" CVs are fritz and nakhimov

hakuhou shinano/amagi +slow is a great comp for heavy
some variation of essex yorktown is great for light

but lion zwei/soyuz mecklen/fritz/nakhimov will just humiliate both

[limpid moon]

Ic

[rain bobcat]

if you want you can freely use whatever you want since the content in this game outside of META dont really require much thinking

but for convenience, having 1 comp that can basically kill everything in opsi without even changing gear is quite nice

[limpid moon]

Fritz is limited while meck and nakh are research right

[rain bobcat]

yes

also it is discouraged to prioritise getting nakhimov over meck without soyuz

since nakhimov will be missing 50 crit damage and the ability to stop the enemy

[limpid moon]

Was thinking meck is probably better anyways since I’m doing research focus 8 rn

[onyx flame]

technically if you finish pr8/meck by dec, you could get nakh just about when soyuz rerun is suppose to happen

[limpid moon]

Don’t see it being too hard, gotta pull out the ib fleet again from when I was researching like 3 other ibs ships like 3 months ago

Also good time to finish leveling them

[peak fable]

which of the event specific exchange items are worth getting/farming for? Like all this Tempesta shit just seems useless af 😭

[timid vortex]

is there a way to get cannon guns after event ends?

[wind hazel]

only 12 pounder from core shop, old demi cannon and old heavy cannon aren't available other than event farm

[timid vortex]

I only get cannon blueprints from nodes and very few. To get enough for everyone will be tough, if possible

[analog tendon]

What does this mean? I assume it isn't the main campaign, since i'm already at world 8 there....

[wind hazel]

yes it will be tough to get enough for everyone. fortunately tempesta ships are shit, so they aren't really recommended to use extensively. having 2 or 3 by the end of event is good enough

[wind hazel]

there are actually more to that sentence, it asks to clear >ch4 several times

[timid vortex]

I still like their designs so having them equipped would be nice

[onyx flame]

-War archive for old heavy now

[wind hazel]

are they there?

oh they are

with mary

[analog tendon]

can i clear anything from ch4 onward or is something specific, like only hard mode, only last node etc?

[wind hazel]

im not sure if hard mode counts, but anything ch4 onwards normal should work

[scarlet cosmos]

how is atago after augment?

[wind hazel]

better, still mid ship

[jagged marlin]

Hi! Looking for team advice to One Shot Auto QE2 Meta

[red sapphire]

Wich simulator do I trust for timings?

[rain bobcat]

renhex does not account for AVPs loading time boost from the KMS plane, only the efficiency

and ALDB is within 0.1% off the game timers so I would use that instead

[red sapphire]

Okay, thank you so much. With that said, the fleet looks ok?

[rain bobcat]

uh yes

make sure hakuhou is flag

you don't want avp to fire first

[wheat ore]

What do I do with another copy of a sr ship if I have them mlb

Do I just retire?

[red sapphire]

Okay thaks

[rain bobcat]

secretary for multiple skin / retire

[red sapphire]

Since planes are ok, a fleet like this is ok for engame?

Tenrai is a luxury I don't have access for now

[rain bobcat]

I wouldn't call tenrai a luxury because its much better on heavy but that fleet is ok

[red sapphire]

Luxury I mean that is too expensive for me for now. I'm working on that

The good thing is that if I replace Helldivers for Tenrais it will sync anyways

[split gazelle]

do you have shinano/hakuhou oathed?

[red sapphire]

Yes

[split gazelle]

all good then, if you have spare mats you could get this thing from gear lab for sirius.

[red sapphire]

I don't but I'll work on that. Thanks

[cobalt rapids]

u can trust the one on the right with 99.6% accuracy

[red sapphire]

Wait I actually can. Is that best for her?

[wind hazel]

it's an upgrade. you can use it on your other dd or cl as well

[brave musk]

wich ss i should level up?

[violet grail]

Is it worth keeping any elite meowfficers or only SRs? Would be nice to clear out some more space and not have to think about it too much.

[autumn pumice]

I only keep Edelweiss because there is no better staff cat for subs. Ofc keep Roberts too because he's a unique cat. I think that's mostly it.

[wind hazel]

gral/edelweiss for sub, jiromaru/eagle for cv

if they got trash talent then just destroy them

[brave musk]

some1 have fighter's gear build?

for iron blood

[soft raft]

what

[brave musk]

for fritz

idk wich gear is good for her

[wind hazel]

for what content

[soft raft]

why the fuck did you +12 that fighter before asking 💀

[brave musk]

oper siren

[brave musk]

it's 1 year ago... when i'm... newbie

[soft raft]

Give this a read https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

[brave musk]

i'm just returnee

[warm latch]

also mlb her

[rain bobcat]

zero interception goes hard

[wind hazel]

med
light
mob and gph's favourite general use

[sweet delta]

What about flap flap Felix cat cat

[wind hazel]

insert 4th row

[brave musk]

where is this pic come from?

[wind hazel]

made it with https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

[wheat ore]

are l2d skins the ones with the cutscenes? and what are l2d+?

[wind hazel]

l2d have interactions. l2d+ have even more interactions

[weary gust]

I knew I should have rolled three Rumeys There's lots of different plane loadouts, planes are very context specific use.

[brave musk]

are these two good? :333 or strash

[weary gust]

Both are very good aux for vanguard ships, though Goldburn is more useful than the Dynamic cannon.

[wheat ore]

ah okay ty

[weary gust]

Dynamic Cannon has high FP for vanguard aux, Goldburn is gold HP aux w/ a good extra passive.

[brave musk]

:0 0k

[wind hazel]

goldburn is more like the best hp aux in the game

[brave musk]

these?

[wind hazel]

left 2 are very good

[brave musk]

rpg and Cya

[wind hazel]

red towel is ok but the right one is garbage

[rain bobcat]

l2d has a list of interactions/poses
l2d+ has interactions + a completely separate pose with minor interactions

dual form has interactions, completely separate poses with interactions, and another separate pose that is basically a small l2d skin in and out of its own

[brave musk]

wich ss is worth to use?

[soft raft]

Definetly not the Japanese ones (besides I-404)
U96 and U47 are two of the main subs for the Wolfpack comp

[sweet delta]

101 and 96 are better than 47

You can use 96 101 47 assuming you have enough gold bulins and two unique augments worth of materials

[tidal dust]

Is there a best hardmode world for getting gold retrofit bps? Also do the tempesta ships use oil, because i feel like they shouldnt

[wind hazel]

no, just grind at highest stage that you can for more core data
tempesta use oil too

[onyx flame]

Oil for drinking, gotta stay hydrated

[tidal dust]

Reduced oil like monitors?

[soft raft]

X-1 for DD
X-2 for CA/CL
X-3 for BB/BC
X-4 for CV/CVL

And then higher world = more core data per run with the current max being 30 for W13

as for drop chances, they're all serverside so we have no concrete idea

[warped acorn]

is this event hard ex just too hard or smt

[stark quiver]

no, its as easy as any other new normal ex stage lol

[warped acorn]

e

[silk helm]

ex.. easy?

[wind hazel]

very easy

[forest palm]

how are the new batch of Meowficers they added, Every looks interesting

[wind hazel]

every is old

teach, like every, is decent

[forest palm]

[robust nymph]

in this case if i wanna get that ship prints, is purple better than blue?

[onyx flame]

ya get the guarantee 2 instead of getting 1 and gambling for the next project to be daisen

[robust nymph]

oh interesting ty, is she good?

[forest palm]

blue gives you better up time

[wind hazel]

for a gold BB she's good

[robust nymph]

what are the best research vanguard ships?

[wind hazel]

plymouth

[forest palm]

shimanto

[robust nymph]

[forest palm]

Napoli and Gouden as well

[robust nymph]

i have plumouth but its gonna take me 7 years to go to pr5 research

cause im doing 7-6-5

[wind hazel]

just wait few more months, coinable soon

[forest palm]

7 > 5 > 6 tbh

[robust nymph]

6 has kear tho no?

[soft raft]

Kear is more low priority than you're likely thinking

[stark quiver]

what are u gonna do with kear

[robust nymph]

stare at her

[weary edge]

get this man a kear NOW

[robust nymph]

i also wanted to switch focus target for prints and why are some not available to focus? besides the already completed ones

[spark patio]

pr5 coinable,no?

[robust nymph]

i never got any print of flandre so why is it locked

[split gazelle]

Because you've already used catch up on shimanto

[split gazelle]

DR's aren't

[onyx flame]

you can only get 300 bps for all pr ship for a season (either spread among all or all in one)

[spark patio]

So we can coins PRs but not DRs in PR5?

[robust nymph]

i got 300 for shimanto, 150 for plymouth, and other hundreds of pr4 and lower. so what is it exactly, 300 each pr?

[warm latch]

300 shared across all pr in the same season

[robust nymph]

ah okay i read it wrong, i see i didnt know

[weary edge]

i remember hearing sandy’s augment barrage is bugged, is it still bugged or does it work normally

[stark quiver]

Bugged

[true lichen]

How many builds should i do for dailys? 1 or 3?

[plain saffron]

if no event, 1 light daily

[weary edge]

is it still worth building for the aa buff or nah

[tulip tinsel]

sandy best aa can shred planes

[red sapphire]

Are this fleets ok? For now the idea is general content but if I can I would use those on OpSi + a BB fleet. For now it's what I have, any sugestions about ships and equipment are welcome. CV fleet is tunned with the other calculator but this one is easier to show equipment

[robust nymph]

how much event currency do 3 runs give in the event?

i feel like ive spent 25k oil already only on t6 and im only at 32k currency total

[weary gust]

1 run gives 180 points for 245 oil at oil cap.

[robust nymph]

so its 555 runs to get 100k, which is 135k oil?

[weary gust]

If your only source of points was t6. Which it isn't. You get points for missions and from SP and such.

[hollow gust]

Using Lion Traffy and Plymouth on a mob fleet is wild

[violet grail]

Ive been doing T5 runs 140 points for 160 oil per run.
Im at 37k event points so far in the event. Not sure how much oil ive spent maybe like 20k?

I give up the chance for pearl drop and just tank the 8k point exchange cost this way though.

[red sapphire]

That's good or bad?

I can swap

[hollow gust]

why would you use the best ships in the game for mobbing

[red sapphire]

Because for now I use 2 fleets

[hollow gust]

never shouldve worked on a CV fleet before BB

[red sapphire]

I have BBs for a BB fleet but I don't have the UR limit breaks yet, so I went for CVs

[thorn tartan]

is this a good event for leveling subs?

oil cost wise

[hollow gust]

the only good event for subs grind is those 15 hard/med/easy. events

[storm spire]

Is doing battles really the only way to level up characters?

[hollow gust]

there are exp packs and dorm

[violet grail]

Commissions also give xp. But ye packs or dorm are the main way until level 70, then put em in a fleet and farm.

[wheat ore]

is it possible to set it so you can hear skin voicelines but get rid of the sortie voicelines, cuz they are too repetitive

[wheat ore]

rip

[dark hazel]

Is there a place to read ex skills in-game? Tried hard mode and my vanguard died immediately, would be nice to know why

[viscid swift]

well tldr is 9999 hit and more really high stats

you can't tank hits, you have to dodge them

[cobalt rapids]

tap on this icon ingame
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/bosses/id/1721 stats can be checked on aldb

[dark hazel]

Got it, thanks.

[ripe cosmos]

is there trading for gear ?

[cobalt rapids]

wdym trading

[soft raft]

like in stuff like MMO games I guess where you can trade items with other players

[agile patrol]

Are any of the event ships worth getting?

[cobalt rapids]

no rainbow meta tier ships but some are decent but theres also collab which may not rerun ever soon so advised not to spend or at most spend lightly unless u have big cube stash

[cyan thorn]

Sadly, no

[hollow gust]

that would be so op

[undone zinc]

Any of them worth pulling for?

[viscid swift]

nothing other than for collection

[undone zinc]

May i ask who is the cutest of them here or should i do it on #general?

[viscid swift]

general

[thorn tartan]

i'm not sure what that means

[viscid swift]

Grey means raid events

[thorn tartan]

what's a raid event?

[viscid swift]

the one where your entire server beats the boss for progress to get rewards ]

[thorn tartan]

I don't think we have those in Little Enterprise.....

Where would i find it?

[viscid swift]

they're events

they don't happen that often

[thorn tartan]

I'm been playing for over 2 years now. How do I not know about it?

[viscid swift]

LNY is about the only regular raid event still, you probably just forgot/didn't pay attention

[thorn tartan]

where in-game would you find it?

[viscid swift]

in the usual event tab when one is going on

[thorn tartan]

hmm, pretty sure there hasn't been one in 2 years then. i check the little red indicators when i see them

[viscid swift]

there has

as I said, every lunar new year

[keen owl]

Which banners should i save my cubes?

[soft raft]

Regular non-UR reruns (because of the build tickets)
and whatever doesnt really interest you

[mortal bronze]

Hello, I have a question. whats the best route to limit break for essex (and how to check what u limit break before)

[last zenith]

all of them

that u dont like

[stark quiver]

because theyre the best ships in game? i wouldnt use bad ships for mobbing

[last zenith]

waif above meta

[forest palm]

just have 2 Lion

[soft raft]

there is no route, you have to do all three of them in order from left to right

[mortal bronze]

really? cuz I can do the same one multiple times?

[soft raft]

???
No you cant?

Unless you're talking about the retrofit tree in which case some nodes have to be done multiple times (usually 2-3) before the next one can be unlocked

[mortal bronze]

no, the limit break, where u use the same ship or that tier (So purple, gold, ect) to break the ship

[soft raft]

you can only do each limit break once so I have no idea what you mean by doing the same one multiple times

[mortal bronze]

the improvement, so for example, I use 2 materials (prototype bulin) and i get 3 tiers to choose from

[soft raft]

you do no choose what tiers you want to do

[mortal bronze]

you dont?

[soft raft]

you are required to start from the very first one
you are confusing previewing what each limit break level does as you being able to select which one you want to do

[mortal bronze]

ohhhh

yea, thats the case then, my bad. its been awhile since i played

[tender lotus]

Where can I find an explanation of each stat from a ship?

[uneven knot]

is the treasure box in the event shop any good?

[tender lotus]

Better to take it and see what happens than not buying it and regret

[ivory pawn]

It's not, but no harm having it on the off chance you want to use it someday.

[soft raft]

• Health is how much health they have
• Firepower is gun damage
• Torpedo is torpedo damage
• Aviation is plane damage
• Anti-Air should be self explanatory
• Reload should also be fairly self explanatory
• Evasion is how likely they are to avoid shots
• Light/Medium/Heavy is their armor type, which affects the damage that they recive from various sources of damage as each attack has sepreate damage mods for each armor type
• Speed is well, movement speed
• Accuracy/HIT affects how likely your shots will actually hit
• Luck affects Accuracy and Evasion to a degree
• ASW is damage for anti-submarine equipment
• Oil cost is how much oil it costs to deploy a ship

[uneven knot]

also, which chapter will subs start being mandatory? i have archerfish, i404, and u37 but haven’t limit broke or really leveled them that much

[soft raft]

At earliest W14

And even then, I barely used subs there. I've only used them on W15 to help deal with the supercarrier nodes and bosses

[uneven knot]

sounds good ty

[weary edge]

so is reload how fast they shoot their guns? does it affect how fast a carrier or bb gets their airstrikes/maingun fire

[soft raft]

Reload is as in reload speed
IE the time between salvos/airstrikes

[weary edge]

okay thx

also r accuracy and hit two different stats, like accuracy with how close it actually comes to the enemy and hit having to do with evasion (like enemy not evading)

[soft raft]

HIT is what we refer to accuracy as most of the time

hence why they're in the same bullet point

[vale musk]

Guys - somebody can tell me is that good room for my question - i use garuda linux (Arch) i use waydroid and i have azur lane but those game in battle have a lot lags. On windows those lags not apear. I have hp elitebook g8 845 (5650u with 32 gb ram and 500 gb ssd). Plz help 🙁

[sour glacier]

I have a question. Anyone understand why my first chicken feed give full stack leg??!!

[rain bobcat]

it is used interchageably as "a statistic that determines the likelihood of the ship's attack to actually register damage."

[eternal basalt]

#1422463299877867540

[rain bobcat]

the actual shells being off is simply due to the guns spread

or the enemies movement being too fast

[broken vortex]

What's the difference between the sailing boats and the normal ones do they do different things or are they basically the same

[ivory pawn]

Sailing Frigates don't have AA, and use exclusive Gear.

[raw sorrel]

I just dropped a Pearl on the event lv is that rare ?

do someone know the percentage

[sweet delta]

~1% chance per D3 boss

[raw sorrel]

damn

I was a lil bit lucky this time

[polar lion]

Any of the new tempest ships meta?

[rain bobcat]

no

has anyone used QAR @120 by now

[stark quiver]

even at 120 you wont get any acual performance metrics out of her

[forest palm]

Will always say this Sailing Frigates will always be collection tier unless they make content tailored to them

[uneven knot]

6 runs of 11-2 and no gold bp grrrr

[hollow gust]

thats nothing

[grizzled plume]

I couldn't buy this weapon, I spent it on other things, the truth is I didn't realize and I made the mistake of not buying it first, now, my question is: how good is this weapon? Do I have to just uninstall the game if I didn't get it?

[hollow gust]

its just a gold gun, why would you uninstall for not getting it...

[warm latch]

itll be added to core shop or gear lab in a few years whenever the event gets archived

[grizzled plume]

First time this happened to me, I got distracted, maybe because I still haven't adapted to the new store interface, and in this rerun I didn't farm much either.

I have been busy.

In theory, how good is a weapon? I always improve the event ones and use them on ships that I'm improving.

[tidal dust]

Are the meta ships worth sinking resources in?

[sweet delta]

Depends on the meta ship, Jintsuu is very good but the purples are bad and most golds are average

[tidal dust]

Yuudachi is the current one

[weary gust]

It's a top tier gun, but there are plenty of sidegrades for it.

[tidal dust]

And i was going to use the brown dossiers for QE

[sweet delta]

QE is an average gold BB and the battle is pretty hard without a meta ship so you pay more oil

[tidal dust]

Do meta ships deal more damage to meta ships?

[sweet delta]

For QE battle specifically

[knotty jolt]

They're designed as siren killers first and foremost

It's their entire lore schtick tbh

[sweet delta]

Lion can also do it because she is fair and balanced, otherwise you should bring a main fleet meta ship or a very strong vanguard meta like Wichita

[grizzled plume]

What would currently be the best replacement for that weapon?

[stark quiver]

im pretty sure they were ships to went wonky because of crystal

[zenith heron]

Triple 152mm Mk 5 is your close call for a replacement, Available in Core Data Shop...

If no currency for that...a Gold, IJN Triple 152mm (3rd Year) is all you have...

[soft raft]

#tech-support maybe?
But you might be better off finding a community for whatever system that is you're using since tech support is more regards to technical problems with the game itself, not whatever hardware you're trying to play on

[sharp socket]

plygun or 155 kai

[tidal dust]

Qe battle?

[zenith heron]

Queen Elizabeth's META Showdown specifically...

[tidal dust]

Ah, do they do better against sirens?

[zenith heron]

Not really, its just their skills but not as much to put an edge compared to other Ships and PR/DRs

[sharp socket]

QEMeta fight has a mechanic that wants you to use a META ship to do more damage

[tidal dust]

Is this a good enough comp to do siren stronholds or the lone special sirens?

[sharp socket]

i doubt you're gonna be able to one fleet strongholds with that

[weary gust]

Amagi is meh, enty is at a level disadvantage, helena is gonna get wrecked and isn't retroed, jav isn't good.

And if those are your ships your gear probably needs work too.

[sharp socket]

nonretro javelin especially is not doing it

you can still run strongholds, just that you gotta pop in and out of it often to heal

might be more effort than its worth if thats all you have though

[tidal dust]

What about the abyssals?

[sharp socket]

you cant pop in and out of an abyssal to heal, so unless you have a strong boss fleet(s) you prob wont clear them

they have milestone rewards though so even if you cant do them you can still get a little bit of stuff

[grizzled plume]

I understand, thank you very much, for now I will do the one from the gear lab.

[grizzled plume]

thanks

[soft raft]

Amagi BC
No main tank in that frontline
Big doubt there

[rain bobcat]

ryu can tank better than port

not complete main tank but its till doable if the backline wasnt ass

[grizzled plume]

I'm here for some advice on weapons. I've been using the same ones for years and would like to improve. Which weapons are currently the best in their classes? And something I don't quite understand: Is the enemy's armor type relevant for equipping weapons?

[crystal flume]

uh slot?

seems like it's a bug

[hollow gust]

just clear space in dock

[weak elk]

ur full on ships

[crystal flume]

yeah usually dock prompt is full appear right away somehow not enough slot appear instead

[hollow gust]

thats normal...

[weak elk]

could be just lag or delay

[sharp socket]

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

[grizzled plume]

Oh, how wonderful, thank you, I will read it.

[fiery swan]

what's a good sub fleet with davinky

[ivory pawn]

Just throw in 2 other independently good subs. I-404 being the best, the other can be Flasher (alone or with Archerfish/Albacore), Maggiore, or some other sub that isn't reliant on teammates.

[vast sparrow]

Auto-laning Stronghold til i found this

where the fuck did i ended up

[weak elk]

whats the best low oil budget mob fleet for really easy map (white blue or purple no gold) and no unicorn

[vast sparrow]

oh nvm its the fog part of Stronghold

[trail dagger]

Is it rare to get gold Auxillary gear (Catapult, Hyrdaulic, Fire-Control) from research? or only certain research can obtain it?

[vast sparrow]

How many levels is this again?

[eternal moth]

Not really rare

AFAIK any research can give certain BPs

[rain vine]

dock caps out at lvl 15

[trail dagger]

Can still get it through blue color research that have blueprint?

I see, thank you

[spark patio]

Pearl worth using?

[wind hazel]

for you no

[spark patio]

hmmm bc of lacking gears?

[wind hazel]

because tempesta ships aren't good for harder content

[spark patio]

oh ok

[wind hazel]

it's better to raise ships that will help you to progress in campaign/opsi/meta

[weary edge]

does anyone have the pr bp to coin rates

[wind hazel]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Shipyard#Enhancing

[weary edge]

ty guys

[sick kettle]

are the 2 cats on event shop good?

[wind hazel]

teach is decent

[untold pilot]

How are the Tempesta ships, meta-wise?

[rain vine]

terrible

[forest palm]

nonexistent

[south spear]

Are there any that are IXM? I don't know who can wear this.

[south spear]

So how do wear it? Or do I have to upgrade?

[rain vine]

you can only use it on specific equip slots

[north gorge]

It's a main gun, you equip it in that slot

[south spear]

Thank you two

[woven rain]

Need help making 2 CV fleet for Siren

[glossy granite]

Guys wtf do i do? After doing dailes everyday for 10 months straight, after the Hakuhou event for some reason i have hit a wall like wtf, now it feels like a bothersome chore to log in 😭 Im so cooked

Am i burned out?

[inner delta]

sure? just literally do other things?

[violet grail]

Just take a break the game will still be here whenever you want to come back to it.

[heavy aspen]

@glossy granite I just came back from about 1 year break. Missed Lion etc. etc. but still I have my lvl132 account with most of the old UR:s anyway and the 'new' URs will eventually rerun. In Azur Lane very few things are actually totally missable... or if any... everything always reruns somehow. I had exactly same burnout feeling for even daily logins but now I feel I want to catch up and play again. It happens but AL is there waiting 😄

[narrow kiln]

Do I need MLB Trafalgar or I-404 or should I keep the Bulins (I can buy 2 more)?

[wind hazel]

no lion?

still traf>404 though

[narrow kiln]

I don't want to spend all my cubes on UR events if I don't really want the ship.

[wind hazel]

congrats you just missed out on the damage ceiling BB

[narrow kiln]

Excellent.
Still waiting for the Souz rerun.

[crimson glacier]

stop waiting

it will come anyway

[rain bobcat]

missing the best ship in the game for no reason ig lol

[final talon]

is there no hardmode for the current event?

[wind hazel]

none

[heavy crag]

i accidentally scrapped the purple cat from event, is there away to retrieve him?

[boreal wagon]

no

[barren cedar]

anyone can tell me who are the pirate girls i should invest my resources in? i don't know which of them are worth, only 2 weeks into the game

[rapid shard]

Tempesta Ships are not worth investing in early.

[red sapphire]

Wich one is better for AvP on a CV boss fleet?

Both sync correctly and I have ju for the reload passive anyways

[wind hazel]

left is stronger vs heavy

[red sapphire]

Okay. I'm taking left I think. I'm pairing her with Hakuhou Shinano. Thank you so much

[frozen stag]

Just got agir who do I research next,already coining hakuryuu and fdg and my anchorage is at fs5 (my only pr/dr ships)

[rapid shard]

AvP

Shes PR4

[rain bobcat]

depending on ur situation either avp or shimanto

utilise the entire catch up for shimanto and use universals until she is fs5

[frozen stag]

the ships im using currently

[rain bobcat]

mm I would:

1. set shimanto catch up first
2. farm avp and unlock so you can start coining
3. unlock shimanto

[frozen stag]

im halfway through avp before then i swapped to ancho so i can get her fast enough just gotta finish agir catch up

[rapid shard]

Is it worth using the 150mm Type 5 on Shimanto till you get FS5 completed for the skill proc?

[wind hazel]

if you need the aa

well shimanto kinda pepega without fs5 so it doesnt matter that much in the end, just use what you have and get fs5 asap

[rapid shard]

Yeah i checked the bps needed and after catchup is finished ill be around 30ish short to FS5 her so may take a bit till then.

[rain bobcat]

non fs5 manto is kind of cooked

[forest palm]

Shimanto doesn't need F5...

[wind hazel]

[rain bobcat]

she doesn't "need" it but having:
useless 2 main guns
-15% efficiency
less vanguard supporting capability

is quite massive

[robust jackal]

Are higher chapters better for speed leveling a single or two ships? I can auto 15-4, I've been in 12-4 for a while. Or would it be better to reduce the number of ships in 12-4 fleets to focus the exp?

[onyx flame]

if you want exp 12-1 would be a better spot in chp 12, high chp give more exp but its harder to carry underlevel ships through, only other thing you can try is like going to 11-1 (iirc) or try mvp rigging (pain)

[weary gust]

Run full fleets in w12. Higher worlds take too long to run/require high level/specific ships already. Running not full fleets makes no sense because oil cap basically makes it free to run more ships.

[robust jackal]

[junior fractal]

Is this what people mean when they say farm C5 in OPSI? You clear a Secured C5 zone and then use Strategic Search and spend the rest of your stamina repeating the zone?

[wheat ore]

is there a max comfort lvl in the dorm? cuz i have like 214 or something, can this be increased?

[crimson glacier]

not a clear max but it can go above 500

but the higher you go the less and less you gain, theres like barely any difference between 400 and 500 i think

in the exp gain bonus

[plain saffron]

yes but usually after you clear everything else in opsi

[junior fractal]

is this good enough to farm it then? I'm not at a stage where I can kill the big sirens and what not yet but can do random c5 and c6 stages easily

have a ton of stamina boxes to use or lose before monthly reset

[rain bobcat]

sure

just remember to clear ur c6 5 and optionally 4 hiddens as well

[junior fractal]

sorry can you maybe explain more what you mean and pretend I know nothing? still learning OPSI. Do you mean click around and do Hidden versions of c6 and c5 zones?

[wind hazel]

yellow treasure chest=your hidden

[fresh tangle]

Just pulled Ganji on the non ganji banner but she’s a healer and I only have unicorn (retro and max level). Should I develop Ganji as a second healer for opsi

[wind hazel]

no

[crimson glacier]

i dont think the tempesta ship are good for anything meta wise

[junior fractal]

is that what I use the coordinates to access?

[wind hazel]

yes, you can use strategic search>hidden tab to auto clear it, if you bought the logger from exchange shop

[junior fractal]

the 5k logger? I haven't spent anything after my first monthly reset

so much to learn with OPSI

[north gorge]

the one that says hidden zone

[wind hazel]

the hidden zone one, but you can manually request recon on the map as well.

you should clear some of the classified logger instead

they are one time purchase so do them whenever you can or want

[crimson glacier]

note that opsi is going to reset soon

[wind hazel]

they are fast way to get your wyvern so maybe you wanna do them earlier

[junior fractal]

so with the few days I have left before reset you'd recommend I purchase some of the classified loggers and do them, and they're a one time purchase. Should I then also try to use as many hidden zone map coords as well? I'm about two months into the game so definitely need all the OPSI resources I can get.

[crimson glacier]

you will lose everything in the opsi inventory

those id get those out of the way first

[wind hazel]

do all your hidden loggers, siren first

if you scroll down the exchange shop you'll see some siren loggers as well

and more hidden loggers? idk i forgot what's there

[junior fractal]

I've struggled with the one or two sirens I fought, I don't think I'm strong enough to kill them yet

the big boss sirens

[wind hazel]

what are your fleets?

[junior fractal]

I can start a thread for my fleets, is there a best way to show? Sort by lvl? rarity first? @wind hazel

[narrow kiln]

You are talking to waifugamer.
I don't see much reason to strive for simply "the strongest" characters.

[junior fractal]

Redgidor's OPSI Fleet Help

[wind hazel]

level i guess

[junior fractal]

thread posted

[tacit wyvern]

does buying taihou's cafe skin make it wearable for her during regular battles?

[boreal wagon]

if u mean her private quarter outfit then no

[wheat ore]

wait so how do i gain more comfort? cuz i have have bought the scenes for both floors

[crimson glacier]

basically just buy more stuff

[wheat ore]

ah okay ty

also is there a bot command for me to see the shop buy prio?

[crimson glacier]

i dont know if something like that even exists

you get so much dorm coins you can usually just buy whatever

[wheat ore]

oh no i meant like the normal shop, like for medals and stuff

[crimson glacier]

oh then probably but i wouldnt know about the bot commands

[violet grail]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/shop_priority/

[wheat ore]

ty

[violet grail]

how far y'all going in this event? i just hit the 45k for dolphin, tempted to stop and go back to farming 12-4. Got all the gear, meowfficers, gear parts, oil, chips, cogs, augment cores, pearl, saving 8k points for amity.

[wind hazel]

wont stop until 55k at least

[tulip tinsel]

55k for gold plates yeah

[violet grail]

oh right gold parts, i dont quite realize how valuable they are yet, havent gotten that much gear worth +13 ing yet. Thanks guess ill go for that as well then.

[onyx flame]

takes 120 gold plates to 13 gold equips and 360 for rainbow equips so you want to stock pile a lot of em

[violet grail]

when you tap on a furniture in shop it will show you how much comfort it adds based on if you already have the max amount of that type. So if you already have x34 furniture a +4 might only actually give +2 replacing a 2 comfort furniture. And maybe you dont yet have the x30 wall decor so might be better off going for that. But ye diminishing returns, you're at around 70% xp boost now a bit less, and you wont be getting much further than 80% in the end.

[tulip thorn]

How many guns shouldi farm from T5 and T6?

[ivory pawn]

If you’re not going to use Tempesta ships, which ideally you probably shouldn’t, 0.

[opaque galleon]

If you were to use the, though, which tempests main fleet ship do you not use?

[ivory pawn]

If you do want to use Tempesta ships for some reason, you get two main fleet guns from shop. Would just need the vanguard/secondary guns of which a better one can be bought with Core Data monthly if necessary.
