So I’d probably farm T6 to lessen the amount to buy from Core Data, but not past 55k points.

opaque galleon
#

So which is the weakest tempesta main fleet?

wind hazel
#

ngl but you might as well roll a dice to decide

wispy cosmos
hallow mountain
#

is the old demi cannon any good?

#

like yeah i know none of the tempesta guns are good but like is it the okayish one

warm latch
#

its the only main gun available for tempesta main fleet ships

hallow mountain
#

well that explains it

#

so are any of the new Tempesta girls worth building? Or are they still kinda meh

warm latch
#

not really

wheat ore
#

does the game ever give out oath rings outside of the anniversary?

silk sphinx
#

but those are the only ones i can remember in around 3~4 years of playing

wheat ore
#

oh okay, that's quite rare then 😅

silk sphinx
#

yeah, the game is very generous in terms of cubes and resources, but gems and anything related to gems is quite stingy (its monetization strategy after all)

#

if you want rings, then best pay irl money for it and purchase the double ring packs (-18% off per ring compared to regular) with gems obtained from double gem packs

hollow gust
#

Beg Internkun for another ring

wheat ore
silk sphinx
#

it's not like you really need the rings anyways, i've got 9 in my inventory and don't know who to use them on

hollow gust
#

Just oath your favorite ship , oathing for meta is a steep hill

silk sphinx
#

yeah i paid for it. i really only pay for rings tbh

#

i've oathed pretty much all my ur bbs and a couple ur cvs

wheat ore
silk sphinx
#

depends, i don't care too much about cosmetics, but azur lane is at the top in the market in terms of skins

#

here the question of value is subjective - skins are beautiful, high quality and may have complex animations and lots of content in azur lane

#

but are entirely cosmetic in effects (with voicelines and high value compared to other games granted), whereas rings grant +6% stats, and increase morale

#

it doesn't really matter, but for my strongest ship girls i like to push them a bit further

wheat ore
#

that does make sense yeah

silk sphinx
#

ultimately if you can afford the money and have disposable income, do what you will

#

shelling out a lot of cash for a gacha game is pretty financially unwise if you need that money elsewhere

red sapphire
#

Good afternoon. What BB fleet can I do for endgame with this stuff?

cobalt rapids
#

oumi lion musashi

red sapphire

#

Next bulin investment should be Zwei not vanguard

red sapphire
fierce pivot
#

Did they move the weekly free supplies pack somewhere else? Can't see it on akashi's shop

onyx flame
#

it should always be in akashi recommends iirc

fierce pivot
onyx flame
#

it disappears once you bought it at least for me

wheat ore
#

should i get rid of multiple copy of the same cat? I have tons of the same SR cats

fallen jay
#

What level do I need to farm for Sardegna ships? I’ve farmed for Littoro from Emperical WarArchive

warm latch
red sapphire

#

yes, most cats dont have static talents

wheat ore
#

oh right

violet grail
# wheat ore oh they have different talents?

I think the most basic concept is just to look for talents that buff the same type of ship as the skill of the cat. So a CV cat with talents that also buff CV stats for example. If you get really lucky I think rainbow talents like flame's aggression, mountain's tenacity, forest's serenity are considered good, and unique ones like soulful warrior or ace pilot.

SR cats start with 4 talent points but sometimes a unique talent can replace a regular one with 2 levels which makes it only a 3 talent points start.

But trying to get a perfect cat takes insane amounts of gold and time so dont bother anytime soon. You really just want to get level 30 SR cats to get better cat paw rewards in opsi. The rest is super lategame minmaxing from what I understand.

Please correct me if im wrong. Only just started trying to find info on cats and probably not gonna be actually focusing on them anytime soon myself.

tulip tinsel
#

trying to get max cats early game is waste of time and coin, just use it on ships/gear whatever

violet grail
onyx flame
#

just get 2 sr cats to max level for opsi, can focus on the rest late NurnNom
But if you want to start filtering good cats there is a cat guide you can look at for base talents at least

MEOWFFICER QUICK GUIDE

What are Meowfficers?
They are companions that you can add up to 2 per fleet (including sub fleets). They buff your fleets with their "skills" and "talents". There are 27 different types of them.

How do I get them?
You get them by opening Cat Boxes in the Cattery. The Cattery can be found under HQ > Cat Lodge. The first Cat Box you buy everyday is free. You can buy up to 14 more per day, with each costing 1500 Gold. It is strongly recommended you do NOT binge on them!

How do I level them?
Just like ships, they gain experience when sortied. They do not cost oil, however their exp gain is dependent on the oil spent by the fleet. They max out at level 30. You can also level them by feeding other meowfficers to them, at about 30% exp loss (20% bonus if identical). Additionally they can gain levels passively through Comf-Forts.

What are talents?
Talents buff a specific ship type or faction. They get 1-3 permanent talents, depending on rarity.. Every 5 levels they gain, they get a Cat Paw which can be used to roll new talents or raise the level of some talents. You can reroll any new talents once every 24h with gold (increases with number of talents).

What are skills?
Skills are unique to each type of Meowfficer. They usually give some stat buff or some perk to the fleet. They get 1 skill initially, and they can get up to 3 skills, each obtained by feeding duplicates (1 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd). The potency of the skills is dependent on their stats which increase through levels.
Do note that the skill stat buffs are mostly inferior to talent stat buffs.

Visit the AL Wiki Page on Meowfficers for more details.
Cat Guide by Riceist#3504 for detailed explanation of skills and talents.

Should I use DD secondary gun on Oumi?

rain vine

#

okay, asking because someone else shared a google document awhile ago that had a note about using DD gun on her

#

thank you

stark quiver
#

why would you use a cl gun on her

rain vine
#

Thinkpitz is it something in her skill setup that im missing?

stark quiver
#

yes

vestal pawn
#

she has skill that sets secondary gun range to 95

stark quiver
#

its not required, but i dont see why you wouldnt give her a dd gun

ignore what i said before then

is there a way to combine a bunch of this to make a SR one?

is there a way to farm for SR bulins then?

#

im really missing them

undone plover
#

weekly missions and pvp (merit shop)
3 starring some maps gives a gold bulin

#

gold bulin income can be a bottleneck early on
which is why we recommend not going for a full SR team

undone plover
brazen lotus

One has 85 reload and the other has her propper 112

#

When selecting which preset ship

vestal pawn

where is the second?

#

Dyslexia strikes again, ty for borrowing your eyes

shrewd lintel
#

Hello guys anyone can help me and tell me whats best gear to build on Pearl?

tulip tinsel
#

tempesta are only collection and waifu, they have no aa and not that good dmg

#

but ig it would be the cannon thats from map and the auxs from event shop

shrewd lintel
#

okey thank you bro

#

Is Yat Sen a good investment if I need tanks for my fleets?

robust nymph

is there a way for quick select when retiring ship to select common ships? takes so long to select one by one everytime

And develop her

#

Harvin is good?

rain bobcat
#

sure

tulip tinsel

shes a good cl

For now I developed Neptune Anchorage AvP Plymouth Hakuryuu Cheshire Izumo. Don't know if I should prio someone else or I can go for her

is this ship xp oder player xp?

agir and roon both good ib tank

dawn wedge

oh i thought player 😅

onyx flame
tulip tinsel
#

agir has nice armor break debuff against enemies and slows enemies

robust nymph
#

i was lazy to retire manually so i would just enhance random ships but its inefficient

red sapphire
#

Event cats from the shop are random?

tulip tinsel
#

they have fixed skills or something, but imo they are decent if u dont wanna do cats(like me)

stark quiver
#

infact yat sen + 1 of ping/ning hai makes up one of the tankiest frontlines in game

wheat ore
#

does enterprise only have 1 skill? or can i unlock more

rain bobcat
#

1

tulip tinsel
#

only lucky e cuz she old ship

#

but its a op skill and pvp troll

wheat ore
#

ah okay

gilded carbon
#

Enty Retro would make her quite powerful, probably

rain bobcat

her whole gimmick is hat her kit scales proportionally with how good equipment is because the only possible thing she can do is deal damage

wicked folio
#

hey guys recently came back to the game, and im pretty overwhelmed with dockspace (184) should i lowkey just delete every ship that isnt gold? is there any purple ship that i should save if so which ones?

viscid swift
#

there's a number of them, especially once we get into fleet tech

#

either way 184 is really just suffering, even if you're not a collector you still want 300-400 dock space

wicked folio
#

i see, i only have 200 gems, im at main story 11-1 but IIRC i spent most of my gems on dorm upgrades (which i dont remember its been so long since i played)

#

will i be able to get that much dockspace as f2p?

Gem Spending 101

Gems Gem 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 💳.

Hello all, I'm new to the game, been playing roughly 10 days now, currently at chapter 7.
I didnt do any research until after I have already commit a bunch of resources into the current event banner ships. My understanding now is the tempesta ships aren't endgame worthy. I have max limited breaked queen's anne revenge and about to spend ssr bulins on lyme. Should I stop using SSR bulins on the tempesta ships?
Also if I want to keep pushing higher chapters it seems I need to invest in elite ships first to get them to lvl 80 and onwards? Since I'm quite limited in how many ssr bulins i have atm.

viscid swift

# native spoke Hello all, I'm new to the game, been playing roughly 10 days now, currently at c...

Get unicorn, portland and helena from guild shop, retrofit Unicorn as soon as you can, then portland. You will still be using these ships getting into lategame. They do not need any gold bulins. the tempesta ships are not good ye.

Your first goal in the game is going to be reaching chapter 9 which has oil cap. If your commander level is too low for ch9, you can also do war archives private polaris SP5 or Universe in Unison SP5 which also have oil cap. Starting from chapter 9 or 10 you can start working on a second fleet. And once 2 fleets done you can start working on fleet technology to unlock PR/DR ships.

Also go to lab - research academy and bottom right research focus set it to PR8 and the catchup to PR4 Anchorage. Once you've done that you can forget about it for a long time and leave it on those settings.

This is all in the guide, just thought you might benefit from a shorter summary of key points.

why isnt it choosing gray ships?

wind hazel

try selecting dont keep

robust nymph

oh ty

eternal moth

Or keep enough to max LB

tidal dust
#

does build time mean anything in terms of rarity?

#

i mainly use greys for enhancing because you dont' get medals from them right?

rapid shard
#

Build times vary between hull types

#

use grays for enhacning, Blues and purples give medals so dont use them to enhance ships

ivory pawn
#

A higher rarity ship does have longer build times, but the build times also vary by hull type so it's not always cut and dry.

weary gust
#

Build times are wholly irrelevant to anything because you can't pick from the times before you roll, you roll and it is what it is and you just quick finish them all immediately anyways.

foggy zodiac
#

Hey, I'm still new here and have enough gems, do you guys know where I can see people discuss about new skin or something? Because I want to try spend on them

weary gust
#

If you're f2p then it is advised to not spend gems on skins/rings. Save them for dock space, 2nd floor of dormitory, and third dorm slot.

#

Aside from that skin discussions on what's good/bad goes in #al-general

I couldn’t cuz i just finished the story middle of this month

fiery swan
#

Why does ehp chart imply that Fargo can tank

weary gust
#

It doesn't? It says Fargo has 114% eHP of Portland, who is the baseline and the "newbie" tank due to decent bulk and extreme ease of access. End game tanks have ~130%+ eHP and other skills that help reduce damage to the entire fleet or support in some way.

forest jasper
#

can anyone double check aldb tracker page is down?

#

their other pages is working fine

atomic abyss
fiery swan
weary gust
#

Roon is one of the oldest ships in the game, and Fargo is fairly recent, so yeah..

atomic abyss
soft raft
#

Roon at this point is a slightly more expensive Portland sidegrade

atomic abyss
#

Well she is fairly good now with her augment at least

soft raft
#

Also it's not like CAs have all the tank roles
There's a few decently durable CLs and there's Laffey II, Z52, and Eldridge Retro for very tanky DDs

fiery swan
#

But it's not like we'll use L'Indomptable as a tank over Friedrich Carl right???

soft raft
#

no, but at the same time that doesnt really mean much either when L'indomp is kinda whatever and you're comparing her to Carl who's on the more higher end of SR CA Tanks

fiery swan
#

I think ehp isn't the be all end all of deciding tanks

atomic abyss
#

it isnt

#

but it certainly is a factor to consider

soft raft
#

^
It's got enough work and math behind it to back it up as a legit resource

fiery swan
#

Because ply specifically can't tank but she has more ehp than most of the early CA tanks, and I haven't heard anyone advice to use Bayard as tank

atomic abyss
#

let's be real here

#

if someone has bayard, they probably know what they're doing or they waifu her

soft raft
#

Ply wont be boss tanking anytime soon but she's bulky enough to off tank or tank on Mob

And people dont reccomend Bayard because 99% of the people who would get to her would most likely have at least Anchorage and Agir

fiery swan
#

So is Fargo actually capable of mob tanking? Or L'Indomptable for that matter

spark patio
#

Roon with aug good in w13?

soft raft
#

you would probably be already in the process of replacing her by that point, but sure she could work I guess

spark patio
#

I could build Agir but i have to coin her after that

atomic abyss
#

i imagine fargo can tank up till 13 fine

rain bobcat
#

mob tank is a low bar outside 14-15 maaaaybe stronghold

sweet delta
#

One does not simply use chapter 13 and below to set bars because ships can just be over leveled or overgeared

not as good as actually being there tho

actually are you allowed two fleets both sharing one identical ship

actually hows raffa at mobbing

#

i feel like i built her wrong

viscid swift

one of the best

yeah I built her as an anti medium bosser because her sig was a SAP gun

#

actually using her she feels like she doesnt belong on that fleet

viscid swift

well she's at the lower end of the spectrum for boss damage as far as UR BBs go

also if Z52 is supposed to be that good then I definitely built her wrong

viscid swift

well you could start by maxing her skills

ripe bluff
#

#

The reloader is pointless and yeah, not maxed skills.

ripe bluff
#

but it cant be that big of a difference maker can it

did she come with any pink gears now
iirc she didnt right

Pink gear??

ripe bluff

ur gear

viscid swift
#

no

ripe bluff
#

what do I replace reloader with anyways
reloader has just been my go to I dont know what else to put aux ik its not that good

viscid swift
#

and if you're using her for AA a better AA gun wouldn't hurt

ripe bluff
#

she does AA?

#

wait isnt the gold bofors like already one of the best AA guns in the game

viscid swift
#

also don't exactly know what you're expecting from her anyway

#

no, it's quite mediocre

ripe bluff
#

or at least as good if the tiers arent ordered

viscid swift
#

ships aren't ordered within tiers

ripe bluff
#

i c
got a build I can just copy or something then

weary gust
#

Mainfleet and vanguard are totally different too.

ripe bluff
#

oh huh whend they add the cat ears AA gun I suppose Ill get started on that

viscid swift
#

and although I use Z52 and Alsace both a lot which partly why they're there

#

but you have rather different expectations of main fleets and vanguards

ripe bluff

oh right theres the colbert guns

#

speaking of out of the gold AA guns which ones are the best

not necessarily a bad thing, most characters meta wise are useless, and fleet tech is fairly an endgame concern

#

most characters you pull just because you like them or for collection

or because you can... thx AL for all those cubes

but anyways, there's UR events and the DAL collab soon

those banners are more important, and collabs might not rerun so you'll permanently lack them

For a guaranteed -10% max HP every 10s, their survival times are equalized. Should I instead give them a particular amount of damage before the dmgred and hitrate checks>

#

Okay. I will use Amity as the benchmark. ONLY Amity will have exactly 10% maxHP damage per 10 seconds as a result of enemy pressure.

Good morning. What are the criteria when building OpSi fleets? Mob + BB + CV + Cross / Mob + Light + Medium + Heavy... what do you guys do? NurnNom

atomic abyss
rain bobcat
#

Mob boss 2 crossfleet

or mob bb CV cross
for typical mid-endgame setups

atomic abyss
#

i would only recommend crosses if your fleets are already competent

red sapphire

atomic abyss
#

remember that it is always better to build 2 strong boss fleets than 3 half assed ones

red sapphire
#

Just figuring out what to use

spark patio
#

only UR and DR has cross?

wind hazel
#

no, some SR have it too. check /crossfleet

red sapphire
wind hazel
#

AkashiHide even elite or rare...

red sapphire
wind hazel
#

wet noodle

spark patio
#

Only good crosses are URs and Independence?

wind hazel
#

that's the general gist of it. even some UR's crossfleets aren't good, like most of the UR CV's

icy cave
#

Has anyone tested a full tempesta fleet? How does it perform

wind hazel
#

get shit on by planes

warm latch
#

tempesta ships dont have aa

spark patio
#

cannon can’t hit planes

warm latch
#

theyre collection ships more than ships youd actually use

icy cave
#

Ah hahaha

wind hazel
#

their hentai tentacles can only molest what's in front of them. they can't molest the planes high up, so they die horribly in anything plane heavy content

whole crypt
wind hazel
#

they should still do ok in maybe w12 though

icy cave
#

Their designs are just rlly cool

scarlet cosmos
#

are there any black friday deals in this game?

#

also, can i see someone's loadout for hakuhou? Mine seems to not do a lot of dmg

boreal wagon
#

during black friday all skins that ran before june of the same year rerun and we also generally get an event along with it that incentives spending and also gives some free goodies
there is however usually not really any discounts unless you spend in the first place (the spending event gives a discount voucher usually)

atomic abyss
scarlet cosmos
#

it is max limit broken, lvl 121

tulip tinsel
#

where do you use her (what armor enemies)

scarlet cosmos
#

bosses, such as 13-4 hard mode with implacable

she gets out damaged by implacable sometimes too

#

also heavy armor bosses

warm latch
#

what gear are you using?

scarlet cosmos
wind hazel
#

could be missing her torpedo

#

use a parallel torpedo bomber on her 3rd slot for campaign

#

like ryukai helldiver wyvern/breguet

scarlet cosmos
#

i use implacable for time stop with her so im not sure if thats the case, but i can try

onyx flame
#

would also swap ryusei kai and saiun position if your using it against a stopped enemy

scarlet cosmos
#

oh i didnt know that affected something

onyx flame
#

3rd slot got 5 planes at 155% eff compared to 1st slot 2 planes at 160% eff, so you want stronger torps on the 3rd slot

wind hazel
#

BacheScared syncing in campaign sucks

knotty jolt
#

You guys sync in campaign? NJDerp

rain bobcat
#

whats the gear on your implacble first and foremost

scarlet cosmos
#

Also, how long on average to complete SR and DR ship (get all bps) for?

rain bobcat
#

non cuber around 3-3.5months

rain bobcat
#

Ehhssex well theres the problem

scarlet cosmos
scarlet cosmos
rain bobcat
#

first off, your implacable has fighters which have aoe making it much easier to mvp in campaign.

second off, her stop isn't even helping hakuhou because that setup makes her like 4s faster than her

#

and the fact taht you have converging torpedoes on hakuhou in campaign makes it even worse

rain bobcat
scarlet cosmos
#

Ohh, I dont auto campaign so they go off the same time regardless, though is there a better set up for her?

wind hazel
scarlet cosmos
#

or do i just follow basic gear guide

wind hazel
#

3 is considered fast

#

you dont have to worry about completing them, they aren't anything meta for the next month until next META boss

rain bobcat
#

I was thinking more inline with completing a single DR instead of the whole season

wind hazel
#

getting more gear is better in the long run

rain bobcat
#

converging torpedoes go batshit crazy when there is more than 1 enemy especially spread out

wind hazel
#

fighter tb tb for implacable. you can use a wyvern if you feel like you need the aa

rain bobcat
#

tldr just dont use converging torpedo on both hakuhou slots

scarlet cosmos
#

sounds good, ty!

also, should i consider using one parallel and one converging then

knotty jolt
rain bobcat
#

something like this is better

#

for implacable, these 2 for campaign inside fleet and bossing single target respectively

scarlet cosmos
#

Okay! Besides wyvern (I only have one) , what are other parallel torpedo options that are good?

wind hazel
#

whichever you fancy

#

good to auto, no need manual

wind hazel
#

if your vanguard AA is great then i suggest to use double converging tb on impla since it's taihou. nuke her tits off

#

it's good damage against heavy

scarlet cosmos
#

Yup! Ty, ill use double converging Implacable

hollow gust
#

Taihou isn't the problem for w13h though

#

It's everything around her you have to worry abt

wind hazel
#

Ehhssex what do you suggest then mr grey

hollow gust
#

Parallel Spam and use a good Bb to kill Taihou ShiSleep

wind hazel
#

nah

Hi!
I’m just starting and I checked the wiki, but it doesn’t mention the difference between the global servers. Can I just pick one based on vibes?

spark patio
inland shoal
#

The only differences are friends and medal shops really

wind hazel
#

no major difference other than medal shop, lexington has CV and CL, good place to start nvm it's not updated on wiki LUL

spark patio
#

i forgot the type name of their torp, could only remember parallel

wind hazel
#

AkashiHide what happened to wiki medal shop

wind hazel
#

there are some rare cases where converging can be used, like in w14 or on implacable

#

still not fully all converging in w14 but yeah

#

in general you just avoid using converging in campaign. just use wyvern or breguet, it's that simple

inland shoal
#

Anyway it's updated now, but most September data is just missing cuz no one collected it

wind hazel
#

ender's fault

gilded carbon
#

Im looking to build the next piece of UR-gear. And from both the Gear-Guide and the Tierlist, i had this one in mind

spark patio
hollow gust
#

Better just to run independence instead of forcing implacable converging

gilded carbon
#

Is it a reasonable Investment?

inland shoal
#

Anyway ig Washy would be best start server now? With CV/DD?

wind hazel
#

sandy isnt that bad either

hollow gust
inland shoal
#

Hmm yeah true, I forgot how many medals you start with

gilded carbon
wind hazel
#

4 days to grind, you can at least get 1 medal ship to start with

inland shoal

Next thing you know washy gets hit with double CA . And I highly doubt most newbies will be able to get that many medals in 4 days

Hi, as an very new player I have the question what ship I should take from the Medal shop (have 114 Medals now)? Or should I wait for other ships? (Sorry if this is the 10th time you answered this here today but I used the search bar and found not what I wantedPandaups_Empire )

wind hazel
#

what ship hull do you have on medal shop?

onyx flame
hexed cosmos
# wind hazel what ship hull do you have on medal shop?

Is that not the same for everyone?
I have CA with Takao, Atago, Prinz Eugen, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Zara and Pola and CL with San Diego, Belfast, Sirius, Dido and Dido with the weird SymbolPandaups_Empire

I like Baltimore for her look but I dont want to choose just because of that

wind hazel
#

grab sandiego. go grind more medals, get 60, and buy the specialized core

hexed cosmos
wind hazel
#

buy the leftover specialized core with whatever medal you have left too. gonna monthly reset in few days, get grinding

hexed cosmos
#

Okay, thank you for the adviceSWUPanda_Liebe

ivory pawn
#

Some good news is CA hull is whatever, if it shows up again when you have the medals you can just pick up Baltimore.

wind hazel
#

medal shop priority

  1. Specialized core
  2. ships if you're new, refer to below
  3. gold bulin
  4. DR blueprints
  5. PR blueprints
  6. red skillbooks
  7. the rest

Medal shop ship hull priority

BB-Alabama, the rest for faction tech
CV- Enterprise, the rest for faction tech
CA- no priority, only for faction tech
CL- San Diego, Sirius, the rest for faction tech
DD- Kazagumo, the rest for faction tech
SS- U-96

#

I mean I guess I am a but lucky because I got 3 Lyme's, 1 Taihou and 1 Queen Anne's Revenge in 4 days since starting the game but nice to know where I should go from that on✅

wind hazel

wanna hear something depressing?
they aren't that good

hexed cosmos
#

That explains a lot xD

#

Anyways, that were my first pulls in the game so I dont really mind

peak fable

#

#

sad though, Lyme looks really damn cool

#

Is this thr second floor? Got a bit scared when it said "decoration only"

hexed cosmos

Iirc Lyme is a decent enough tank. But will probably fold in more plane heavy maps, which is the issue.

onyx flame
#

Looking at what i got enfer cube it is

weary edge
#

should i be grinding this event somewhat just to get the 10 dr8 blueprints from shop

wind hazel
#

if you grind up to 55k milestone you'll naturally be able to include those dr prints in your purchase

weary edge
#

i like, havent been grinding the event at all so im nowhere near 55k 😭😭😭

wind hazel
#

start grinding then

weary edge
#

is it more optimal to grind T5?

wind hazel
#

6

rain bobcat
#

Ehhssex no

#

you save a lot of oil doing t5 because of the massive difference in oil cap cost

#

its almost a 9k difference

eternal basalt
#

T5 has oli cap too

rain bobcat
#

though t6 is better if you low cost slug ur ass with costs <200 per clear

eternal basalt
#

Do T5 if you NEED another main gun, 4 main IX, 4 main gun...

rain bobcat
wind hazel
#

Ehhssex t6 has weapon prints, ship drop

rain bobcat
#

if ur not low costing t6 then t5 saves a lot of oil purely for points

wind hazel
#

if you wanna minmax point then you 3/4oil T4 and not T5

eternal basalt
#

No gold gun then, neiher BB or DD

wind hazel
#

which is why you just do t6

rain bobcat
#

though its possible to do 18 cost per fight in t6 with enough crossfleet

peak fable
#

does opsi strategic search not auto recon the areas?

wind hazel
#

need the logger thing from shop for explorable/hidden

peak fable
#

no, I mean normal areas

wind hazel
#

there's no normal area

peak fable
#

then I mean explorable

woven star
#

He meant explored I guess

wind hazel
woven star
#

I little doubt but let it be. Checked next month for explored area

wind hazel
#

MutsukiCurse ?

peak fable
#

I have zero coupons and there is only one logger for hidden zones

woven star
#

You need only one to unlock opportunity for hiden maps

wind hazel
#

did you finish the story before this month's reset happen?

peak fable
#

so do I have to manually search every single area left before reset? XD

wind hazel
#

yes lol

peak fable
#

me when I play a game that was released pre 2020

wind hazel
#

if you got time, the recon drops back to 0 AP every 30minutes. otherwise just spend AP if you're impatient/don't have time to wait

peak fable
#

should I use them all before the month ends or keep them and let them be converted

#

idek what gets converted and what doesnt tbh

wind hazel
#

use your ap boxes, do all your hiddens, abyssals etc . spend remaining AP on C3/C5 on repeat

peak fable
#

aight, spend everything, got it

woven star
#

Does first time story resets every month?

warm trench
#

Is it still good time to play Al? Im pretty new to the game

woven star
#

Isn't it stayed until finish cha4?

wind hazel
#

it's always a good time to play azur lane

eternal basalt
#

Unzen comin, Kurumi's coming, ??? Is coming. Yes, it's a good time

peak fable
# warm trench Is it still good time to play Al? Im pretty new to the game

If you ask if the current moment is optimal for new players, I would say there are technically better moments, but this game is not like most gachas, where exceptional timing has huge pay-off, no matter when you start, Azur Lane is always a slow burn, long grind. Even with the best timing, the experience new players have will remain almost exactly the same, as you will be time-gated by coins, more so than the pull currency.

#

Even if you were to get 5000 pulls, well, that's good for you, but you need the money currency "coins" for each pull and new players need that currency for tons of other things as well.

#

TL;DR, it doesnt matter.

eternal basalt
#

(You dion't need coins when there are tickets, like upcomin Unzen rerun)

onyx flame
#

only thing is if your new and planning to be an f2p, be very aware on how you spend the very very limited no of free gems you get, which for f2p is 3rd dorm slot + 2nd floor then dock space

eternal basalt
#

Or adore scamcat... she got skins

tulip tinsel
#

#

i'm trying to clear w13 for more gems cuz i'm lowkey running out of dock space. But i'm just not strong enough for it, what should i do? Should i just retire all my grey ships?

onyx flame
#

use the extra gray to enhance your other ships

wheat ore
#

yeah i meant like i only have 1 copy of each grey ship now

onyx flame
#

i would mlb then then retire since they are grey and pretty easy to reacquire, there really only 3 you should level to 120 for fleet tech

#

Langley, nevada and oklahoma

violet grail
wheat ore
#

oh so should i just spend my exp books on them to lvl 70?

onyx flame
#

no lmao

#

i would just dorm em till 70 then mlb for faction tech if you need it

#

if not just retire em

onyx flame

just wanna ask which route is technically more efficient for making the 406mk7

#

im guessing the purple (even though it eats more ur it doesnt use the ordiance which is more used)

leaden mountain
#

theres no hard mode for the event stages right?

cobalt rapids
#

right

cobalt rapids
#

only reason to do purple>mk7 is if u wanna save gold plates u spent early on on mk6

onyx flame
#

well im not too worried about plates so guess i go with the cheaper ur route then

weary edge
#

what was exchange prio again, was it (soon to be) musashi > shinano > vanguard > whoever else?

cobalt rapids
#

depends on dock they are pretty equal depending on what u need and what u have and then again they also are quite useless for a long while till they can be mlb-ed

Hi all, I made the mistake of investing into tempesta ships, but now swapped to leveling the recommended unicorn, portland, and helena. I want to capitalize on leveling more units, but I've capped on level on the ssrs I do have, is there any recommendation on which ones I can invest my ssr bulins into?
Or are there any other elite ships I should focus on instead.

weary edge
tulip tinsel
#

hood and ryu lion

weary edge
#

but definitely prioritise unicorn retrofit above all else

tulip tinsel
#

bro why mlb queen anne 😭

#

Got it thanks. Im roughly 11 days in. What timeline could I expect to get some viable ssrs and possibly urs?

tulip tinsel
#

unzen rerun after this

native spoke
weary edge
#

how much time have u invested into this account

native spoke
#

11 days

weary edge
#

what do you think @tulip tinsel, is this a wipe

turbid marsh
#

tempesta ships are borderline just toys, good to have, not very good to push contents XD

native spoke
#

I dont think I will wipe unless you guys are saying I've wasted alot of my f2p resources

weary edge
#

if ur f2p then as long as u havent wasted any gems on anything other than dorm space and dock space u should be fine

tulip tinsel
#

idk man its up to you, i wouldnt really wipe and never tried

weary edge
#

u definitely dont have to wipe, but it is a setback

native spoke
#

So to recap, keep building unicorn, helena, portland. limit breaks on hood and ryu lion. Save for unzen rerun.

weary edge
#

yes

native spoke
#

Cool, thanks for the feedback.

#

how many cubes did you spend on this event

tulip tinsel
#

yea but prio unicorn shes best healer

yeah that's pretty not good but honestly it could be a lot worse

#

in al u rly gotta be careful where you're investing ur resources and time especially if ur f2p

tulip tinsel

how u got hood i have no clue how ppl get her i got her randomly from pull

weary edge
#

i got her from medal shop exchange when i first started playing

#

she carried me all the way to w12

#

I did the requistion once as recommended by the guide to for clearing the handbook and it gave me hood

weary edge
#

wow that's kinda crazy luck

#

yeah maybe you should keep the account lol

native spoke
#

also for the event shop, should i be trying to get both pearl and amity, or just go for the meowfficer, auxilliary items and the old demi cannons

weary edge
tulip tinsel
#

cog arrays, oil and coin maybe

weary edge

yeah oil and coins if u need a boost to grind more

tulip tinsel

and the pirate cats are decent

just make sure you're getting those UR pr8 prints, you wanna start saving up on those asap

tulip tinsel

yeah grinding non coinable dr bps is pain

get these ones, idk if the purple one is worth getting

tho i have no clue about her because built her 1month ago and i mostly use agir

weary edge
#

how long did it take u to coin agir

tulip tinsel
#

dont really remember it, i think i did like 6-8 daily and it was like 3 weeks or less

onyx flame
#

aint no way its that fast with 6-8 daily unless your using the faceless bps

#

takes like 500 bp to get to dev 30 if you do 10 a day its be 50 days so a month and a half

tulip tinsel
#

theres the 150 from catchup

onyx flame
#

if you also run the catch up it still be a month

They are pretty much just collectors ships

Some are viable
Their biggest downside is lack of AA which makes them die easily in plane heavy worlds like ch15

Any lineup tips for current arbiter?

forest palm

rainbow slop

slender turtle
#

Is it less efficent to have ships that you are leveling in the first floor of the dorm instead of the second floor because if the increased morale gain?

#

Or does the xp gain of the first floor offset it

forest palm
#

I tend to put my leveling Fleet in the 2nd Floor while the 1st Floor is for leveling unused ships ShiWoke

novel solstice
#

If you are hard-core farming, the XP from farming is much greater than one the first floor gives you, so you want them on the second floor to keep the morale flowing in.

If you aren't seriously farming, the first floor's XP is useful.

novel solstice
#

If you have three slots, you'll put half the fleet on the first floor and the other half on the second floor, so 🤷

silk sphinx
#

personally the decision is made by the fact i can't usually afford to cog awaken immediately everyone

#

so people who are cog capped get placed in second

#

alternatively, people who want more exp go second, because normally dorm exp gain is kind of low

#

and yeah, morale is easier to keep high in 2nd floor

forest palm
#

I wouldn't say the second floor keeps morale high, just that the degradation of morale happens at a slower rate ShiWoke

Has anyone tried a 1:1 grind fleet for 12-4? Just. curious so that I'll take note for it next time when I save oil

#

There's zero reason to do that.

soft raft
#

W12 has oil cap so why even bother

weary gust
#

You might as well run the full fleet because you're getting all the extra oil over cap as "free", which you can get way more than the amount of oil you'd save running 1:1 fleets.

have you done OpSi? and if so have you unlocked META showdowns

hot oriole
#

Is +11 gears squads enough to clear all of OpSi?

sweet delta
#

+10 is enough depending on your stuff but Try not to +11 stuff

#

+13 one thing at a time instead of +11 everything

hot oriole
#

Aight

#

Bro my main CL gun is so ass💔

sweet delta
#

Is it better for fleet 1 in opsi to be a boss fleet for dealing with abyssals?

#

It seems that fleet 1 always spawned in the middle when entering a abyssal zone, which means it would always be within 3 times (1 move) of the target tile

weary gust
#

Can your mob fleet not handle the abyssals?

I would prefer it like that

#

then I want my mob fleet to be the one spawning infront of that said boss fleet

How do i get more of this thing

Is buying it the only option?

you can craft T2s into T3s

I have not looked into changing my main team in a very very long time
This is my roster now, what should I look into running?
For main fleet: New Jersey-Unicorn-Saratoga; Roon u-Regensburg-Otto
For boss killing fleet: Shinano-Bismark Zwei-Enterprise; Prinz Eugen-Helena-Z46
Submarines: I19-U556 META-U47
These fleets still work fine right now, but what would be better?

#

I hope my image formatting isn't too weird, I didn't want to put 10 images in the chat so I combined them all into one

rain vine
#

i would suggest making a thread and stating what content you want to tackle

tepid ridge
#

I could do that
I don't really have content in mind though
I use these for everything
If its a stage that requires certain types of ships I throw on my best ones and make it work

soft raft
rain vine
#

chapter 13 and higher and opsi have very different requirements

soft raft
#

"General use" or "Everything" isnt a real answer btw

tepid ridge
#

I will be sure to do this in a thread next time
I get its not a real answer, but its the best that I have got
I am only in chapter 10, and not far past the early stages of Operation Siren

I guess if I had to pick a topic, I would say event stages or war archives? I don't know what I need teams for right now

bold peak
#

Wait wait

#

The Agir doesn't have fate simulation?

rain bobcat
#

no

soft raft

bold peak
#

Time to hibernate then

rain bobcat
#

at most, there is probably a fleet that could do any boss/stronghold of opsi+all content except ch15

#

but the said team has 5 of the most busted rainbows in the game+unicorn

tepid ridge
#

ok then heres my question
What fleet should I look into running for whenever that becomes relevant?
Just please give me something to work on
Say for chapter 13, or some other not "baby mode" content I'm not aware of yet

#

surely this question is reasonable

#

please give me a mode worth doing and what team I should work on for it, because I clearly don't know that

rain vine
#

first, get to world 12
your current fleets should be able to get there with decent gear

tepid ridge
#

their gear might not be decent, and I don't really want to waste the materials on them if I won't be using them again
I can still do that if its your recomendation though

rain vine
tepid ridge
#

I thought it varied heavily depending on the character

worthy iris
#

AL cant play in emulator?

tepid ridge
#

thats what guides I used to read would tell me

soft raft
#

Like for example what you'd aim for on Carriers is drastically different in campaign and OpSi while most vanguard cruisers stick with the same gear

And Battleships switch out their main guns depending on enemy armor type

soft raft
# worthy iris AL cant play in emulator?

Nah it can
Use MuMu if you aren't already, especially if you're trying to run this game on Bluestacks

Also make sure that the device you're emulating is operating on 64bit not 32bit

worthy iris
#

Mu mu other emulator?

rain bobcat
#

mumu is one of the stablest and least resource consuming emulators for running azur lane

worthy iris
#

Alright thanks you

Any good comp for Harbiter? One shot fleet if possible

how do i find all map pieces in island planner?

onyx flame
real folio
#

Good morning everyone! Should I start raising her? Or not still?

knotty jolt
real folio
#

do i have to do this fate sim? i mean is it optional ? i have no idea honestly

knotty jolt
#

Fate sim is optional but they would still like it

#

They don't have a luck stat until they fate sim but otherwise it's like a pseudo augment buffing their skills

#

Personally after dev30 roon id work on another PR for gear instead of a ship

real folio
#

i see...so ill level her up for dev30. i cant work on anything else to be fair

#

im locked out of everything due to fleet points

knotty jolt
onyx flame
#

i mean you can coin her to dev 30, then continue coining her to fs5 if your gonna use her or coing saint louis instead

knotty jolt
#

Also remember to do your research catch-ups for large amount of extra prints

onyx flame
#

i hope your research focus is not on pr1 NurnNom

real folio
#

it is....i put it on pr1 since i could only get these ships..

#

i cant remember what the research catch ups are to be fair

whole crypt
#

we closing to 4-month mark from pr8 launch?

#

or we past 4 already

knotty jolt
#

By clicking research focus on the bottom you can switch your PR research and change catch-ups

onyx flame
knotty jolt
#

You can get a large number of research prints for ships due to catch-up

#

It expedites the development process greatly

onyx flame
#

for catch ups i would really only use pr 4 for anchorage and pr 6 for shimanto, the rest i save for converting to protocore.

real folio
#

i just found the catch-ups...i toggled it on

#

and i mostly wanted anchorage, im thinking she could replace portland retro in the near future?

knotty jolt
#

Defo replaces portland

onyx flame
#

anyway do swap your research focus NurnNom

real folio
#

if i cant even unlock one, i could shift the research focus to something else?

onyx flame
#

you want to start accumlating the bps for the ships since they cant be coined, that and the newer season has better gear compared to older ones which you can get from gearlab/protocore shop

real folio
#

I mean, I'm somewhere along these lines with all of the PR ships

knotty jolt
#

Even if you can't do the missions for the ship etc you can still research weapon prints and ship prints from research

whole crypt
#

newer players will need time to collect tech

#

just work on what you can work on first, notably this has no real conflict over which ship's prints you try to get first

#

you can unlock Ibuki or Kitakaze while you research for Shimanto prints

knotty jolt
#

We're telling them to change PR research for gear not ships cause they need that more atm

whole crypt
#

nowadays just do PR 7 or 8 I guess

real folio
#

i put the focus on pr8, ill try and get the one i sent...eventually lol

whole crypt
#

a bit of 4 is good but I wouldn't dwell on it unless you specifcally want to gear focus for a copy of tenrai

real folio
#

do gear blueprints drop randomly?

knotty jolt
#

Yes

#

Each PR has their own pool of Gear tho

#

Like PR 8 won't have a tenrai or or Georgia gun

onyx flame
knotty jolt
#

But PR 2 will have Georgia gun and PR 4 has tenrai

whole crypt
real folio
#

that i had no clue about, the earlier ones should be easier to get id guess?

whole crypt
#

and PR8 has these

onyx flame
#

no the drop rate odds should be sameish throughout all the season, just that newer season have better gear so the gear you get is more worth while

whole crypt
real folio
#

im fried by all the information haha, but i assume the mecklenburg gun is a main gun for BBs...also any of the UR gear would take me ages to get or craft. im really early in OpSi as well

whole crypt
#

only older rainbow pr gear gets added to lab, newest there now is tenrai, with the right researches you're looking at roughly 2 months for 1 piece of rainbow gear

onyx flame
#

yea pr8 ur gear is meck gun, best heavy bb gun rn in the game.
Gear from research academy doesnt need any mats from Opsi unless your refering to older season ur gear

#

thou the best way to get older season ur gear is from the protocore shop (mainly tenrai, georgia and plymouth gun)

split gazelle
#

or gear lab yeah

knotty jolt
#

It is super pricey and guns like flandre or champagne gun would likely be easier and quicker to gear for a ship

whole crypt
#

meck gun costs "nothing" you're just doing research

#

can't remember where it stands between 10/13 vs champagne/flandre though

real folio
#

anything sounds better than the +10 purple main gun ive been using ...ive also got the gold one, but its even worse

sweet delta
#

about how long would it take to get meck gun for free (T/C/E research)?

onyx flame
#

you be using the 406 mk6 for a long time im ngl

knotty jolt
#

I've still yet to get a meck gun myself uvhdead

whole crypt
#

that's a you problem

split gazelle
#

I've been playing the game for 6-7 months and just got the upgrade to the purple gun.. so yeah it takes a while considering you have other priorities for UR guns

real folio
#

ooof...im actually a bit more than a month in myself and im lost when it comes to gear

whole crypt
#

if you started doing pr8 from launch and don't yet have a copy of the gun you're just not doing the right researches

onyx flame
#

i came back after for 3 months after a 6 year hiatus and i could technially make the upgrade from the 406mk6 but i need the coins else where for now MutsukiHyperStare

knotty jolt
real folio
#

i mean im not complaining about gear, only crossing my fingers when i open gold boxes for anything golden lol

#

even though i have the idea by now that they are mid, even worse tier

this will be so helpful...i had to scroll through the guide to look for a random gun i didnt know about

frozen solstice
onyx flame
#

then click on current target>boss list

#

or from the main menu, Battle> Operation Siren>Overview>meta showdown

onyx flame
#

once you have 2 wyverns, any further UR aircraft design are 'technically' useless till they add new ur planes right

cobalt rapids
#

right now its only for wyverns so if more wyverns are useless to you then yes

warm latch
#

you have to finish opsi story

onyx flame
#

no need to finish it just gotta clear chp 1 then

#

im more confused how you got hornet meta without unlocking meta showdown MutsukiHyperStare

warm latch
#

oh is it only ch1 for meta? youre still gonna want to finish it at some point for more materials for gear lab

onyx flame
#

preferable you want to do up to chp4 at least to start the new monthly reset yea

frozen solstice
#

I may have completed all of chapter 1 at one point, but I haven't played it in two months.

onyx flame
#

once you finish chp 4 of opsi campaign, it changes to a 'new' version, where the whole map gets reset monthly along with the shops

frozen solstice
wind hazel
#

you do them both at the same time. do campaign, when morale is low, do opsi

#

and there's ongoing event, so campaign can wait

barren cedar
#

how does this work, do the guild owner has to level it up or is it personal and it moves on from guild to guild? i do need more space for fuel

onyx flame
#

the max level cap for the upgrade is done by the guild, you need to upgrade it personally to get the benefit and it carries over

barren cedar
#

thank you so much

I can't use her

wind hazel

she's a submarine

and you shouldn't be using tempesta ships in general

most of my team are tempesta I think;-;

time to revamp your fleet then

Is this fleet ok for endgame heavy armor bosses?

wind hazel
#

no

red sapphire
#

What would you change?

wind hazel
#

half of them

#

depends on which heavy boss too

#

if can eldridge cope then you can try triple IJN+tank/z52 kaza sirius/unzen/helena

#

AkashiHide sounds wrong

#

eldridge kaza +1 of the others

#

if can't eldridge then implacable+kaza+pick 2 strongest buffers

red sapphire

A neat GIF. You will also get the Option the first time you log into OpSi after the Monthly reset

#

Wich is hardly helpful, sadly

forest palm
#

I'm just sitting here wondering they wanted to change the positions of their ships, which there's a much easier way to do that ShiWoke

rain bobcat
#

yeah just click fleet

rain bobcat
#

but that setup is inconsistent

#

so realistically ur either waiting for implacable+replacing shinano with amagi cv or continuing with the eldridge cope until you replace hakuryuu with amagi CV

#

either way, heavy bossing CVs are useless because the top dogs on BB outdamages anyway

forest palm
#

August is fine enough

#

granted Sirius could be placed in there, but I don't know what they have ShiWoke

rain bobcat
#

shes fine but I think its agreeable to think of her as a mid game setup over implacable

#

eitherway not having amagi is a loss as well

forest palm
#

we did fine with just August

wind hazel
#

which part of endgame setup you dont understand

forest palm
#

also if this is ops the bar really hasn't moved ShiWoke

wind hazel
#

who even uses august endgame setup

twin chasm
#

is there an up to date beginner guide?

rain bobcat
#

surely they'll update opsi difficulty soon

icy sphinx
#

Question, do I limit break Trafalgar or Z-51?

wind hazel
#

august isnt even the best budget version against heavy as well

rain bobcat
#

rn half the things overkill by such a ridiculous amount

icy sphinx
#

I can also limit break UR BB or CV but I already have some

forest palm
#

Hakuho alone should trivialize most "heavy" content in Ops outside of HM Arbiter

rain bobcat
#

some chinese maths are telling me triple BB beats every armor fleet setup but no way to proveICANT

wind hazel
icy sphinx
#

But I don't remember well :b

forest palm
icy sphinx
#

The lack of carrier to clear the screen of enemy ammo is something that you may miss, if you don't kill the enemy quickly

#

But most of the time you will, I think

rain bobcat
#

tldr its allegedly zwei mecklen lion for all armor types -- alsace beats mecklen on light but who really cares about a 5-10% difference

twin chasm
rain bobcat
#

not really

wind hazel
#

doesnt matter

icy sphinx
rain bobcat
#

left? or thats who you have mlb

forest palm
#

Amagi CV and Hakuho are massive if you don't have those MLB HakuWhat

icy sphinx
wind hazel
#

lol just send screenshot

icy sphinx
icy sphinx
rain bobcat
#

I mean, hakuhou amagi cv musashi z52 traf I would say without knowing wtver else you have available

forest palm
#

Ulrich, Kron, Raph, Mog are definitely the ones that could be put on the back burner ShiWoke

#

again a simple screen shot of all your URs you own would help
