[icy sphinx]

The discord bugged

[cobalt rapids]

are these all ur URs including maxed?
Alsace is first prio

[icy sphinx]

The MLB I have on fleets
My MLB UR are: Laffey II, Guam, New Jersey, Yorktown II, Lion, Bismarck Zwei and Sovetzy Soyuz

[cobalt rapids]

a picture is worth a thousand words

[icy sphinx]

Wait a lil bit, going to take screenshot now

[forest palm]

[icy sphinx]

The fleet I use are number 1 and 2, they have worked so far :)

"""":)

.

[cobalt rapids]

alsace fritz z52 and traf
but ask again when december UR gets released

[icy sphinx]

???

I have 4 bullins, but I should wait for December?

[cobalt rapids]

no i mean current prio is alsace > fritz / z52 > traf
but when december UR is released u should ask again for other prio changes

[icy sphinx]

Ohhhh, ok thx

Altrough with the UR BB's I have, I still should get Alsace?

[warm latch]

you have 4 bulins so you can mlb alsace, dont start limit breaking other ships until you have 4 bulins, that might not be until dec when priority might change

[icy sphinx]

Ok

[cobalt rapids]

you can do fritz over alsace first if u have hvars and la9s

or if ur goal is to push campaign then also fritz over alsace

well if campaign focus then alsace falls below even z52

[icy sphinx]

Campaign I still have to complete, I haven't played a lot for a while

[icy sphinx]

I have Hellcat with HVAR and Skyrider, also the Bf 109 with AP rockets

[icy sphinx]

@cobalt rapids tell me what you would change, so I can implement that

Altrough the current configuration has worked for me so far, altrough I haven't done a lot of campaign

I haven't started 8-1, i was busy and forgot to do """:)

[cobalt rapids]

when ure farming it doesnt matter what u use, well except it matters only that they still benefit from xp because farming means lvling ships
if ure looking for specific campaign advice like ch14/15 then post a thread and ur dock and also make sure to read the ch14/15 guide from /guide

[wind hazel]

what the fuck

[warm latch]

itll work fine up to 12, probably 13 too but you dont really need to go past 12

[cobalt rapids]

ch 8

[icy sphinx]

Yes "":)

[icy sphinx]

I will have to check the guides later "":)

[cobalt rapids]

lion unicorn soyuz - laffey2 something something
zwei nj yk2 - guam helena something

and push to ch12 asap

[icy sphinx]

Perseus gives me HP and it has 2 ready CV attacks

Helena I have to level up

I left her really low, I think bellow 100 """""":)

[warm latch]

unicorn is better for campaign

you want more spread out timings not just all preloads

[icy sphinx]

I may try that, now I have to level Unicorn too :)

[cobalt rapids]

then just use something over helena till ch12 it doesnt matter
ur goal is to unlock oilcap before grinding
u have 2 fleets with full UR backline and laffey 2 + guam ull breeze through content
also dont forget to farm event before that tho

[icy sphinx]

I will farm event, also I have , it doesn't appear on screenshot, Le Malin on fleet 1 with Prinz Eugen and Otto

I also have full fuel, 25k is my cap

:)

Well, thx for the help guys

[rain bobcat]

how many skins was it for a ring in black friday again

5?

[onyx flame]

6

[reef flume]

Best gun for Trafalgar?

[wind hazel]

76 without rld
single 113 with enough rld

[reef flume]

100mm kai isgood?

[wind hazel]

she doesnt want it

[twin chasm]

how should i handle 2nd fleet at chapter 2?

[reef flume]

Which dds want it?

[twin chasm]

i dont have much ships

[wind hazel]

dont use 2nd fleet at all until around chapter 9 onwards

[reef flume]

Dont bother with it til ch10

[wind hazel]

eldridge, laffey2, etc. you can even use it on CL that can use DD guns, like sandiego

[twin chasm]

oke, also is there any worth pulling in the event banners?

[wind hazel]

no

[twin chasm]

okay

[reef flume]

Z52?

[wind hazel]

same as traf, 76/113

[reef flume]

Alr thx

[vernal hornet]

i want fast xp compat for new character from gambling how to do in quick time

[weary gust]

exp packs -> w12 -> w11 -> event t6 (<-which you should be doing for the event points)

[lucid orchid]

do gear level transfer

like crafting into new piece

[weary gust]

No but it refunds the coins/plates if you use it as a material in the gear lab to craft the next step up.

[lucid orchid]

it can craft into the gear the sheet hightly recommended, shall i level it first to be for use

[wind hazel]

which one?

[weary gust]

I'm not sure what you're asking here tbh. Any gear you're using you should upgrade. If you're crafting new gear there's no reason to upgrade the materials.

[forest palm]

farming w11 is gross

[lucid orchid]

oow, i mean currently no have enough resources to craft, so i use that piece of materials first

[wind hazel]

which one which one which one which one which one which one which one which one which one which one

[ivory pawn]

Just because something upgrades into a strong gear, does not mean that it itself is a useful gear.

[lucid orchid]

oh

[ivory pawn]

Or to quote Mori, which one?

[lucid orchid]

give me some time

[wind hazel]

i swear if it's firecrest...

[late flame]

duck gun

[lucid orchid]

triple 406 mk6, twin 152 mm naval, 533mm quadra torp mount

[twin chasm]

having a hard time now in 2-3 with only habing javellin leveled up

[wind hazel]

you can +10 mk6.
skip that twin152
which 533 quad?

[onyx flame]

im assuming this cause they said mount and never mention mag (forgot to attach image lmao)

[wind hazel]

if it's ^ then can +6 and use as transitional torp

[lucid orchid]

yes lol

[wind hazel]

or use any other torp lol

[ivory pawn]

Have you picked up Uni, Penn, etc from Guild Shop? If you need to just hit a lower level world a few times, though I’d try the event stage first.

[twin chasm]

not yet

i thought its random lel

[ivory pawn]

Nope, you get to pick from a selection. Recommended to grab Unicorn and Pennsylvania then refresh and grab Helena and Portland.

Maybe pick up Carrier retrofit prints if you have enough extra coins.

[sick kettle]

which gear do i 13+ first? gears that i have are wyvern, ryuusei kai, and 2 flapjacks

[ivory pawn]

/plus13

[odd root]

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/images/equip_misc/%2B13_Priority.jpeg

[ivory pawn]

You don’t need to +13 until you know you need it, but very likely you end up +13ing the Ryuusei Kai at some point.

Flapjacks not until you don’t need gold plane plates anymore, Wyvern even further after that.

[steel swift]

How do I get this thing to disappear?

[onyx flame]

complete the akashi hidden quest line (note it will force you to do lower level hard stages so i would just live with it)

T5 drops it

[ivory pawn]

T5 iirc.

[onyx flame]

but you only need 4 cause there only 4 main fleet tempesta ships

[steel swift]

How do I solve it?

[onyx flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Akashi/Questline

just know that you be forced to do 10 days worth of lower chp hard stages so your core data income gonna drop

[violet grail]

Is essex worth levelling if I dont have her retro item? Just pulled her.

[onyx flame]

not really imo

[eternal basalt]

2 are in the shop, not 3

[vernal hornet]

Ok I don't understand but i will do

[grizzled sundial]

If i don't collect my weekly task rewards , how long it will stay there ?

[ivory pawn]

Until it resets at the end of the week.

That’s in like 4-5 days ish. Monday morning if you’re in the Americas.

[tulip tinsel]

weekly tasks stay for 7 whole days

[twin bronze]

What's the minimum CV Rld tech to get 4 airstrikes in META fights for non oathed ships?

[viscid swift]

depends on the ship and gear

[weary edge]

this week's should still be there after monthly reset right

bc im waiting for reset to claim the specialised cores

[tulip tinsel]

monthly doesnt effect weeklies

so yeah you can

[weary edge]

god i can finally get the pr3 bb gun 🙏

[tropic tusk]

wait did u get it from research?

[weary edge]

no protocore shop

[tropic tusk]

if im not wrong u can craft them

[weary edge]

u can buy 20 blueprints from pr1-7 every month

[stable badger]

which cannon is better for tempesta ships? the one from T5 or T6? as in to farm

[weary edge]

yeah it's just that im pr research focusing 8 so i never get pr3 research projects so my only blueprint income is from protocore shop

[tulip tinsel]

the main fleet and vang tempesta ships need diff gun like normal ones

[onyx flame]

T6 is dd gun, T5 is main gun, diff purpose (technically core shop gun out class T6)

[tropic tusk]

no like gear craft

gear lab

[weary edge]

oh well i mean it'd still be a lot cheaper for me to just craft it with blueprints

[onyx flame]

you could craft champy gun, but protocore is faster innit

[weary edge]

because im still working on opsi campaign as ive been really lazy with opsi

so by the time i have enough mats to actually craft it in gear lab i couldve already built like 3 from bps lol

[tropic tusk]

well if ur lazy now then u will never farm wt u need later on

[analog tendon]

as a new player (started 10 days ago) if i want to MLB Saratoga should i try to farm her in campaign or use Bulins?

[tropic tusk]

use bulins

[weary edge]

well that's why im working on it now

idk just doesnt rly make sense why you'd go out of your way to spend resources in gear lab for a gun you can buy bps for in protocore shop

[tulip tinsel]

how much is it from gear lab

[tropic tusk]

u can do on both side

[twin bronze]

Hmm lets say rumey and nakhi with hvar/bf109?

[weary edge]

dont you only really need one champ gun tho

[onyx flame]

pretty pricey

[viscid swift]

Like 38 or something with Beacon

[onyx flame]

you want 3 ap guns so a mix of champy/flandre

[weary edge]

yeah and im about to get my second flandre gun

after which im gonna shoot for tenrai

then proly plymouth gun or that pr2 rainbow bb gun for campaign

im just following this guide

[tropic tusk]

thats just spending on the shop

[weary edge]

u guys think champ gun is better than flandre gun

[onyx flame]

their like about the same

think one of em is slightly faster, like very slight

[weary edge]

for heavy i think they're like only beaten by meck gun right

[onyx flame]

ya

[twin bronze]

alright thanks
Then I need just 3 more

[tulip tinsel]

unzen rerun should be after this tempesta event and new ship is in like dec

[weary edge]

musashi should also be coming to ur exchange as well

[weary edge]

we're getting like what, 45 free pulls?

[tulip tinsel]

yeah sushi too, i didnt know there will be free pulls

[rain vine]

dont think perma adds get free pulls

[weary edge]

really? i thought i heard we were gonna get tickets

[tropic tusk]

pera pull dont get free pull

u will get free pull on new UR (should be)

[dawn wedge]

how accurate is this?

[tropic tusk]

really accurate

[dawn wedge]

so its hard to progress with pearl?

[tulip tinsel]

should be 99% accurate

[rain vine]

you can get up to 12

[tulip tinsel]

pearl has no aa and mid dmg

[tropic tusk]

80% of subs are useless

[warm latch]

thats tempesta ships in general, theyre mostly just collection

lyme apparently is a decent tank, but has the problem of no aa in later chapters

[tulip tinsel]

its hard to build them too bcs not many guns and auxs

[tropic tusk]

if u want to build them u need to farm this event like wt 6 cannon ?

which is insanly hard and not really worth it

[weary edge]

would you guys say all URs are better than even the best golds

[warm latch]

no

also heavily dependant on what youre doing

[weary edge]

true

[tropic tusk]

its hard to answer that as theres no ship thats the same function

[tawdry halo]

Hi chat, may someone help me build uhh, 2 mob fleets and 2 boss fleets from these

[tropic tusk]

for wt

[tawdry halo]

General use

[tropic tusk]

theres no general use in this game

[tawdry halo]

Then I guess campaign

[tropic tusk]

where are u in campain now

[sweet delta]

Why do you need 4 fleets for campaign

[tawdry halo]

Chap 12 finished

[tawdry halo]

shipgirls mood problem for grinding

[sweet delta]

If you're just grinding then just put any 6 ships who need exp in the mob fleet(s)

[tropic tusk]

So U just want a farming fleet?

[sweet delta]

Not the level 125 ships

[tropic tusk]

Or U want to push 13

[tawdry halo]

4 farming fleets

2 mobs 2 bosses to evade mood issue

[tropic tusk]

Technology U can go 4 mob farm fleet

[tawdry halo]

Well give me 2 boss fleet builds then

I'll figure out mobbing by myself

[tropic tusk]

If Ur just going to farm 12-4 then that's ez

6 random ship that's lvl 100 or higher with decent gear

If they are lvl 70 or higher just unicorn and 5 random ship with good gear

[tawdry halo]

Again though I'm kinda requesting for 2 boss fleet builds from the 3 screenshots sooo

[tropic tusk]

U don't need a boss fleet as Ur mob fleet can also kill the boss

[tawdry halo]

Yes I know, still want 2 dedicated boss fleets for some reasons though-

[tropic tusk]

Just put random 3 BB and Helena

Then 3 CV and kazagumo

[tawdry halo]

Also is Anchorage or Agir better for mobbing

[haughty skiff]

agir is for bossing ; anchorage is either

others have already said this but you dont need 4 fleets for campaign , and you shouldnt use fully levelled ships if you're just brain-off farming 12-4

the campaign is up to world 15

[tropic tusk]

15 has a really high requirement

[haughty skiff]

by DR i'm gonna assume you mean it and not UR, probably - it'd depend a lot but the requirements are high either way

[tropic tusk]

And just so u know there's 2-3 boss per map

[haughty skiff]

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

just read the guide, you dont seem ready to work on W15 yet if that's what you're highlighting

it's not like anyone farms W15 so you're not missing out if you can't do it atm

[tropic tusk]

That's a insanely hard mode fleet I wish U luck

The only reason U would want to push w15-4 is just for that one ship that's drops on 15-4

Or U just want to finish pushing which rarely ppl does it

[haughty skiff]

Houston 2 (15-4 dropship) is just for collection

[tropic tusk]

After 12 there is really not much reason to keep pushing

[haughty skiff]

the biggest value is the 200 gems from W15

i'd recommend checking out the newbie guide if you haven't already

[tropic tusk]

Also I'm using full UR team and I'm having a hard time so idk how U can win with that fleet

[haughty skiff]

UR doesnt mean they're good at everything

[haughty skiff]

and there's other content, like OPSI, that you can work on that is much more valuable then pushing W15

[tropic tusk]

Opsi reset in 2 days gotta farm all the cp and buy everything before it resets

[haughty skiff]

Volga in your boss fleet ?

[tropic tusk]

Right she's boss now I'm just farming 15-4 for that ship

[haughty skiff]

valid ig

[tropic tusk]

On save still can't auto sadly

Had to hand run it

They are shit , they just got collection

Do farm till the last gold mat tho

Check pins for detail

[stark quiver]

how many week does this event go for

[haughty skiff]

2 weeks total, ends on the 5th of November

[stark quiver]

oh shit

[haughty skiff]

basically one week left on the event atm

[stark quiver]

where do i get tempesta augments

[tropic tusk]

Farm till U get this point

[haughty skiff]

pretty sure the augs are perma (?) so you dont need to worry about them, but they should be craftable like the others

[tropic tusk]

Aug are perma for them so no rush

[haughty skiff]

double checked, they are perma

[stark quiver]

oh so its not farmable

[haughty skiff]

no, they're just normal augs

[tropic tusk]

Those item in shop will be gone after event so buy them before it ends

[real folio]

theres also a purple mug from the minigame if anyone is interested

[haughty skiff]

how many points do you need to reach to get it ?

[real folio]

doesnt need points i think, just do it 7 days in a row

[haughty skiff]

oh okay, kinda weird the minigame doesnt have rewards to indicate the progression like the others

[tropic tusk]

Ya that part is funny but just play 7 times and U will get it

[real folio]

i just left it afk and lost

[stark quiver]

i enter and insta leave minigame

dolphin spotted

[real folio]

the event burns through too much oil...at least for me

so im thinking of skipping the rest...im at 17k points

[peak fable]

I just realized you can't get URs on the event banners... am I just tripping or are the event banners kinda just bait

[stark quiver]

im overcapped on oil and at 26k, just farm t6 lol

[real folio]

chapter 11 for me burns 800 oil

for 3 clears on auto i mean

[stark quiver]

why are u doing campain when theres an event you didnt do

[real folio]

im trying to level up ships, im positive the event gives less exp for the oil cost it needs

[split gazelle]

it's usually recommended for new players to skip non-UR events to save cubes.

[sweet delta]

Event gives less exp, but why level up ships when there's so much limited stuff to get

[real folio]

well the blueprints are definitely tempting, i wont deny that

[zinc swan]

Sorry if i'm interrupting and for the wall.

I've been playing the game for a while, not really focusing on clearing content. I've made it to chapter 11 so far, but i'm starting to struggle at this point and likely need to get some more meta units going.

So far i'm realizing I need anchorage, so i'm working on that now, if theres a team suggestion I could get to just farm xp for that since i need the 2 million atm to unlock anch.

Beyond that, any suggestions for units I should be building or teams that could work. Was just here to collect the women but I enjoy the gameplay at this point and kinda want to fix my teams haha.

[stark quiver]

dont need, but why skip limited items

[peak fable]

well, they may release a strong tempesta at some point, so... perhaps they will turn out to be useful eventually.

[sweet delta]

1. Gold plates, gold cat boxes, limited cats worth millions of coins, oil, DR bps
2. Limited ships for collection (including Dolphin at 45k)
3. Easy to buy demi cannons instead of farm them in case next year's IXm is super strong
4. What do you gain by skipping event, you won't get ships to level 120 earlier, because

Lyme and Fancy are somewhat good but their gear costs a lot so up to the player if they're to be used

[real folio]

i dont own any IXm apart from the one you get for free, but i was tempted to get the gear after the blueprints

ahhh ill farm the event lol

[stark quiver]

blueprints are lower prio

[real folio]

i mean, i got the cats first thing of course

i think its called teach? and another one in the event shop

or the elite rare one you get from points, i honestly cant remember

[onyx flame]

there 4 cats, 2 from event shop, 2 from point milestone

[wanton dagger]

hello guys, i just start playing the game who should i get in 2 event banners?

[real folio]

you are right, my bad. Bonnet and teach are the cats in the shop

[sweet delta]

Drake is high priority core

[sweet delta]

Skip the banners and only do one build per day for the mission

[real folio]

before i spend my core points on something dumb...i should get drake right?

[onyx flame]

did you get your white shells alr?

[real folio]

the gear? no, i havent bought any gear from there yet

[onyx flame]

you would want 3 white shells and 2 blacks shells? but idk where drake slots between those

[real folio]

the type 1 ap shell right?

[onyx flame]

yea

you can only buy 1 of those a month

[real folio]

so they refresh once a month, also there are 2 core shops

so im assuming they use the same currency

[peak fable]

do i trash all purple cats?

[sweet delta]

/coredata Drake would be somewhere around cog chips or independence

[odd root]

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

[sweet delta]

Keep purple cats with single-level talents like ACE, rainbows, Alpha Wolf, etc.

[peak fable]

everything else trash?

[polar venture]

Is the pearl event worth pulling on as a new player?

[sweet delta]

No, but are you a new player?

[vale spindle]

They added cats to core data

[polar venture]

Pretty sure i lost my old account so I think I'll have to start over :/ just waiting on people to respond in tech support

[vale spindle]

if you have proof of a purchase on the account like a receipt on app store, or you have a screenshot with the uid, then you can just email the support directly

[polar venture]

Imma have to scroll through my receipts, thanks although it was on another deleted email so I guess Imma pray haha

I used to play on my tablet but ofc this Pic doesn't show UID

[vale spindle]

try searching through and see what comes up

[polar venture]

Is there a good way to contact support?

[polar venture]

I've contacted them so hopefully doesn't take long. I didn't end up finding a UID so again, praying

[wanton dagger]

i need help, this is my team and i can't pass 2-4, i got Sawai in the 7th buld

[knotty jolt]

use some of the bulins you have to limit break your starter ship like z23 here, also idk how well they are early on but later tempesta ships are known to be really bad

Also check their gear, remember to equip what you can onto them

shitty gear is better then having no gear equipped

[desert cove]

what should the chinese ddgs be used in main or vanguard

[haughty skiff]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

tempesta is collection so dont bother using or raising them

[sweet delta]

Redo the fleet, keep only z23 and maybe ganji if you really like her but you MUST buy the demi cannon for 2000 event points by the end of the event

[atomic solstice]

What pr5 should i grab for the handbook mission

[unique lantern]

Any idea what i should do with these? It always takes so long to save for an item that i keep forgetting

[desert cove]

arent those the universal ones

[unique lantern]

yea, which is why im asking, could make any item i want but dont really know which ones id need, im guessing some more planes first but idk

[desert cove]

i dont know much about gear lab but this might help
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab

[unique lantern]

i went down the gear rabbit hole and am even more confused than before, anyways, i got to the conclusion that im actually running low on the circuit thingies and are better off getting a few golds first

[harsh cargo]

Why have the Tempesta events been starved of gear two years in a row?

[sweet delta]

The gear is in core shop and event shop and event map drops and event mini game

[uneven knot]

hey guys how long does it usually take you to farm ur gear through researches?

[unique lantern]

i think a little longer than 2 months per UR piece but im also doing the bare minimum so probably less

[uneven knot]

damn i must be slacking

are u doing any cube researches?

[unique lantern]

i try to do all face, then rigging and if nothing else is there the coin and then cube researches

[stark quiver]

what does cube have to do with UR gear

[uneven knot]

i thought those researches had higher drop rates

or are they kind of a waste to do

[stark quiver]

H researches have no UR gear drop rates

[uneven knot]

[tulip tinsel]

H gives bps, retro mats and chips

[robust nymph]

is amity droppable in the event?

[rain bobcat]

no

only shop , non rate up within latest banner and previous baner

[wet basin]

do i stop with fate simulation for hindy or is it worth going all the way to dev 30 because that requires like 300 more blueprints which is alot more than i thought

[tulip tinsel]

hindenburg doesnt have fate sim

[tulip tinsel]

that just shows much much bp u would need for her fate sim if she would have

[warm latch]

all ships have that display, including ships that dont have fate sim yet

[wet basin]

I see, so is it worth going all the way to 30?

[warm latch]

yes

[wet basin]

Ive gotten pretty unlucky with her research blueprints and it took me like quiet a while to even get here

[tulip tinsel]

ofc she only gets mlb on dev 30

[warm latch]

dev30 = mlb for research ships, you always want to go to dev30

[wet basin]

Oh brother, thats gonna take a while then

[tulip tinsel]

i built her like 3months ago still missing 7 bps

[hard dock]

Hi chat! which PR research should I focus?
It's been 1-2 years since I played, and I have Maxed FDG, Dev 30 Agir, 20 Anchorage, 22 Ply

annd who should I coin?

[rain bobcat]

coin ancho avp hakuryuu,

focus season 8
use catchup and gold universals to completely finish shimanto fs5 without actually touching pr6

[rich blaze]

is using combat efficiency plans bad for grinding for gold prints? I swear I'm getting 0 gold cannons

[eternal basalt]

It gives loot *2. Are you doing T6?

[hard dock]

Okayy ty!
Coin in that order? And who do I try to build first in PR8

[rain bobcat]

well for faces focus mecklenburg

mecklenburg>gouden>the golds dont matter

[soft raft]

those plans are essentially you doing 2 runs at once
so you get double everything (including the negatives) besides total run #, and you have two chances to roll each droptable

[quartz breach]

Does Asama work well in lead position for vanguard?

[silent hearth]

Asama is a decent stand in until you get something better. if shes the tankiest thing you got then go for it (its what i had to do) but she is not meant to be a tank (off tank at best, and even then iffy)

she will crumple under anything actually challenging though.

[rain vine]

worse than portland, whos also cheaper

[silent hearth]

shes not terrible damage though for early game, higher then portland. again though she gets replaced pretty quickly

her and minase got me up to chapter 12 with no diff, i wouldnt try her in 13 though shrug

[rapid shard]

Biggest issue is shes a gold requiring gold bulins which for a newer player are very valuable. Portland would be a much smarter investment allowing you to use gold bulins on much more beneficial units allowing you to push farther easier.

[silent hearth]

ah i had so many copies of her during her event that i was retiring them XD so in terms of investment i would completly agree.

[rapid shard]

I got enough dupes to MLB her as well and to be completely frank even with really good gear shes pretty shit sadly. Im only leveling her right now purely for tech points then she will probably never be used again

[silent hearth]

oh yeah she gets replaced pretty early. i think i used Minase a little longer actually because Minase's all out launched a bunch of converging torps which RIP anyone in the way.

[rain bobcat]

the thing is

portland can no diff ch12 as a tank as well

so essentially outside of waifu reason asama is just a waste of resource

[silent hearth]

im not disagreeing, but im fairly sure that asama had higher damage. but i havnt touched either in a while so i cant say with 100% certainty! both get replaced fairly quickly

[rapid shard]

Basically any unit can push and clear W12 tbh with correct gearing and mainfleet support

[silent hearth]

guys the question was can she work as a main tank in vanguard, my answer was that she CAN tank for a little while until you get better options. bringing up this and that wasnt what the question was. but yes portland is a better tank. yes any unit can push w12.

yes shes NOT worth investing long term.

[rain bobcat]

theres the word well

and I would highly argue that anything below portland in tankiness does NOT main tank "well"

[rapid shard]

Portland is the baseline for who can reliably "Tank". Anything less than her isnt viable as a tank for long or short term investment when Portland is as easily obtainable as she is

[silent hearth]

damn guys lol. i didnt say she could main tank "well". i said she could until you get a better replacement.

[knotty jolt]

stuff has been boiled down to a science

All to help the new players so they don't squander resources and then regret it later

So they can reach the same levels as end game players with the least amount of effort

[rapid shard]

^^ AL is a long term investment game. You dont want to waste time gated resources like bulins on units that will only be useful for a week or 2 at most

[rain vine]

portland is in the guild shop
you can get her pretty quickly

[rapid shard]

Once you've got your core teams and have cleared 12-4 and can clear Opsi C6 zones then you can start raising whoever you get the itch for. Till then you wanna focus being able to clear most content to get the most resource income

[soft raft]

Who's tankier, Eldridge Kai or Ply?
Debating on who to yeet off of my 15-4 Letha->Safe grind boss since it feels like LaffeyII/EldKai/Ply is lacking DPS at times

[silent hearth]

im just gonna stop answering in this channel. everything i say is immediatly contridicted. Portland is a better tank, i never said she wasnt. Asama works as main tank until you get to anything more challenging until chapter 12. i wouldnt invest resources into her unless you got multiple copies of her.

they asked a simple question, no one answered for 45 minutes. if you wanted to break it down for them then you should have said so instead of waiting for someone to say something you wanted to tear into every minute detail. i didnt bring up portland because she wasnt part of the question.

[rapid shard]

EldKai should be more tanky due to skills

[rain bobcat]

it was answered with an emote before ur message as far as im aware

[rain bobcat]

eldridge

if ur using 2 DDs then just go zuihou 2nd healer and use z52

[silent hearth]

thats so not helpful in anyway ayaya. at least i put a bit of effort into telling the person 'yes it works, but only until you get something better'. if you really felt like telling them NO PORTLAND BETTAH then you should have said that.

[rain bobcat]

it was just answered in a literal sense because the question wasn't in depth

can she work in as a tank yes does she "work well" probably not

[rapid shard]

He asked if she works well in lead tank postion and was answered by suchi saying No which is accurate and answered what he asked

[rain bobcat]

im just saying that anything below port is usually designated as an off tank in most content

because anything below port is usually paper

[silent hearth]

no, and i made it clear she didnt. i made that pretty clear in fact. she works until you get something better. that litterally what i said, and its the truth. portland is a better tank, but honestly at that point who gives a flying F? by the time that ASAMA wouldnt work portland wouldnt be a decent tank either.

asama isnt paper. shes not got defensive skills but she has high hp and is a CA with heavier armor.

medium* excuse me

[soft raft]

Port and Asama are both medium armor wdym

[rapid shard]

Thats not what makes someone viable for tanking tho. The skills make a massive impact, just having high HP doesnt mean that they are viable tanks

[slow fox]

-# eHP mentioned

[rapid shard]

Eldridge has really low HP but is a amazing tank for example

[hoary parcel]

What's the most efficient way to play for the begining

[rain vine]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[soft raft]

also each armor type has different damage types they take more damage from so the argument that heavier armor = better tankiness doesnt really work

[rain bobcat]

if you just started then just give the link a read through

you can ask if X you just got can replace someone if you want

[rapid shard]

Speaking EHP. Who is currently highest right now?

[rain bobcat]

just a disclaimer that anything is usually taken in endterm value context as well as actual usability

[knotty jolt]

can ya give us the ehp of portland if ya wouldn't mind

[rain bobcat]

napoli/triple chinese

[slow fox]

Napoli
Chinawall
Agir
ANchorage

Laffey II and Lyme also 150+

[soft raft]

she's the baseline at 100% EHP that all other vanguards are compared to

[slow fox]

-# Brest Guam Kron Honorable mention

[rapid shard]

Which 3 makes the wall? The site is bugging out on mobile

[rain bobcat]

yat ning ping

[soft raft]

Yatsen and the Hai siblings

[knotty jolt]

I was meaning actual quantitative number

[slow fox]

About 14000.

[rapid shard]

Also shocked Lyme is that high. Is she actually decent to invest in? Assuming AA isnt needed

[slow fox]

-# I'm going to invest in Lyme. Possibly even wife.

[rain bobcat]

shes ok

[soft raft]

Ehhhhhh
keep in mind she'd still be heavily screwed over in terms of equipment options compared to non-frigates

[rapid shard]

Is she another Anchorage or does she actually put out dmg with correct gearing?

[rain bobcat]

shes just like blaster said kind of screwed by being a tempesta

[slow fox]

-# She is parpar with Anchorage (Fate) according to the eHP model

-# Does she deal less damage?

[rain bobcat]

I havent raised her so idk

im still using ryu lion+2 shitters

[slow fox]

-# That's not a very nice thing to say about Hatsuharu and Mullany

[rapid shard]

I am Lionless so actually have to make dmg come from other sources lol

[rain bobcat]

also mebot doesnt it get annoying to type in -# or are you just used to it

[slow fox]

-# It doesn't get annoying. I use it because eHP advice is not game advice

[knotty jolt]

i mean after awhile things just become normal.

[rain bobcat]

fair enough

[rain bobcat]

lion is a true anomaly

shes far above anything else in light med and barely behind mecklen in heavy

its quite bullshit to be fair and they still havent updated opsi content

[rapid shard]

Yeah I started a little after her event ended and regret not starting just a couple day sooner.

[rain bobcat]

severe fomo as soon as you started huh

[rapid shard]

Na just cucked from getting easy mode for entire game 😂

[knotty jolt]

Multipliers ontop of multipliers

[rapid shard]

Also curious can 404 solo clear the lv95 weekly sub mission?

[sweet delta]

6 torps left over and I killed 3 extra cargo ships so

[rapid shard]

Which gear set is that on her?

Im working on doing your cheap setup on her right now and curious if it could clear no issue

[rain bobcat]

he's using either double type 95 +13 or double g7e +13 probably

[viscid swift]

shoulda been here in 2021 when NJ was hot stuff

[weary edge]

do boss fights give more xp than mob enemies? im currently grinding xp for pr reserach and id do three 12-4 runs and 3 T6 runs, where 12-4 i had my USS vanguard team only on mobbing and for T6 i had them clearing all enemies and i noticed i get the same xp progress from both

[soft raft]

Making the boss fight count for XP grind is just 1 extra battle's worth of XP in the grand scheme of things, barely much of a droplet to make the grind for milions of XP noticeably faster enough to justify

I just treat XP from there as a extra little bonus if I happen to be running units that count

[sweet delta]

Yes, see wiki page for numbers

[sweet delta]

Gph try to answer the fking question challenge

[weary edge]

lmao thank you guys

[silk sphinx]

Boss node does give more exp but only slightly

[umbral needle]

is anyone else getting flashing black tiles in opsi i havent read the patch notes recently

[soft raft]

Have you already tried asset repair
Also are you using a emulator? If so, which one?

[umbral needle]

LD player

[soft raft]

Hmmm
prob a problem with LD Player itself, try a different one like Mumu

What
please elaborate

[umbral needle]

ive noticed it in a few different zones

stopping on it doesnt trigger anything, ill check on my phone

[weary edge]

wait wtf to finish part 2 of opsi campaign i have to clear every single node of the na NE section??? 😭😭😭

[soft raft]

I guess so lol

[weak elk]

which stage in hard mode is the best to farm at

like the extra loot beside gold blue print

[soft raft]

the only relevant hard mode resource besides the retro mats is core data

Which you gain more of per run the higher the stage, with the current max being 30 per run for W13H

you also only get 3 Hard tries per day so you cant exactly farm it per se

[rain bobcat]

is this the single meck gun sync or does someone have another setup that fires closer

this seems pretty chill and for heavy, changing meck to champgun seems to have the same ish result in syncing

[stark quiver]

whats this for

[rain bobcat]

4 salvo sync

[stark quiver]

wat ab this

[whole crypt]

what about 2 meck gun sync

[tender lotus]

Any strong fleet for 1shot the temperance?

[sweet delta]

lion + 5

if you're failing, then you should show what you have

[rain bobcat]

can anyone try this btw

I dont have meck 200 yet

[slow fox]

-# Meck has dev 200!?!?

[whole crypt]

try it on what, there's nothing hard with med to use that fleet on now

[stark quiver]

i dont have dev 15 meck

[rain bobcat]

just go to even yuudachi support to try the sync

[whole crypt]

you just need a calculator if you want to check sync

[rain bobcat]

how many guns are you at

[tender lotus]

Actually i just saw your video and thanks to that I'm able to beat it with 1 fleet
TYSM

[wind mauve]

Guys I'm stuck at the loading screen, how to fix that?

[hoary parcel]

Get better wifi

[arctic tapir]

i forgot to buy musashi's secret memory, will it rerun again?

[eternal basalt]

In 2 years or so

[dawn wedge]

wdym

i thought musashi rerun is in 1 or 2 weeks

[onyx flame]

secret is different from her getting added to perma pool

[rain bobcat]

[dawn wedge]

oh aight

im not so experienced xD

i just know that i want to make a japanese fleet and someone told me that i could get musashi soon

[eternal basalt]

Not rerun, perma-addition. But yes, it was about the secret that just left.

[dawn wedge]

ty ty

[tulip tinsel]

secrets are few minute long asmrs

[hard dock]

Is there a priority guide for port shops?

[tulip tinsel]

every ur, gold, gear mats coords ap boxes

Gibraltar useless

gold plates

[hard dock]

Not sure I can afford all that

[onyx flame]

knock out st petersburg first (cept the repair boxes)

or get the loggers from ny city (if you can clear em)

[hard dock]

okayy ty

[analog tendon]

i just got my first PR ship (Saint Louis) while focusing Anchorage. What should i do now? The only other ships i can research are Neptune and Roon and am broke as hell coinwise. Should i just use the 2 free daily coinup for Louis while researching one of the other 2?

[hard dock]

[onyx flame]

always use the 2 free coin up, prob work on roon next if you need IB tech

[hard dock]

I have like 62 Ply blueprints is there anything else you can do with those other than use them on Ply

[onyx flame]

you can only use it on ply

unless she's dev 30 alr then you can convert em to protocore or save for when she gets her fate sim

[hexed cosmos]

Hi, I didn't quite catch one thing:

So I was playing in the War Archives under S.P. "Strife, Wish and Strategize" with the Prince of Wales Image.
So, how likely is it, that she drops in SP.3 or is that absolulety unlikely to happen?

[wind hazel]

no idea but she's available from medal shop BB hull. don't waste your oil farming for her

[rain bobcat]

the drops are usually server sided

the only known drop rate in the entire game is the kaga sisters with 0.75% each

and yes it is possible for her to drop there but she's also in medal shop and quite useless

[hexed cosmos]

Allright, thank you

[peak fable]

is unicorn a lvl125 candidate?

[wind hazel]

eventually yes

[tulip tinsel]

shes good enough at 120 too

[rain bobcat]

10%-12% dmg is dmg but if ur broke then you can hold off

[forest palm]

[swift path]

how good's the new ships?

[tulip tinsel]

pirate ships, no aa gets destroyed where there are a lot of planes

[forest palm]

Sailing Frigates are collection tier

[tulip tinsel]

tentacle wifes

[wanton dagger]

do these units worth investing? are they enough for early stages

[swift path]

well then i'll just calculate the stages.... how many main world worlds are there in total

[tulip tinsel]

retro unicorn and they can be good enough for early stages with decent gear

[tulip tinsel]

w15 normal hard mode w13 max

[swift path]

and these skins aren't coming back?

[tulip tinsel]

they might have a rerun, most skins have rerun 1-2 years

[swift path]

i'll wait

also how do you get those gifts for affinity points?

[rapid shard]

Island planner mode

[tulip tinsel]

[wanton dagger]

should i full limit break unicorn?

[tulip tinsel]

yea and retrofit her too

[warm latch]

id recommend replacing those tempesta ships as soon as you get better ships

and purple META ships arent that good either

you should be able to get helena and portland from guild shop right now

[wanton dagger]

is she good?

[warm latch]

no, shes a tempesta ship

[tulip tinsel]

her thighs are godly but tempesta unfortunately waifu ships only

[wanton dagger]

i use the epic one to get unicorn

[tulip tinsel]

should reset in a few days

[wanton dagger]

so my team should be unicorn, helena, portland, sawai and z23?

[tulip tinsel]

missing 1 main fleet

[warm latch]

yea just leave long island in for now

[wanton dagger]

who should i get?

[wind hazel]

what's on your medal shop?

[tulip tinsel]

if u have bb on medal u could get a ssr bb

[warm latch]

and replace sawai with that bb

[wind hazel]

@wanton dagger

[wanton dagger]

here

[silk helm]

9 medals

[wind hazel]

2 days challenge to grind whatever medal you can, try and get sandiego from CL and that 10 SpCore

if can't get 80 medal then just buy whatever you can from the 10 SpCore

[tulip tinsel]

[real folio]

Hello guys, does this give a UR bulin?

[tulip tinsel]

u can exchange 4k into 1 ur bulin

[warm latch]

no, it gives you the specialized core needed to buy a ur bulin

[real folio]

if ive already bought the monthly one will it give anything?

[wind hazel]

crazy but you can read them

[real folio]

i didnt get the "exchange" thing it had there...

[wind hazel]

this means purchasing UR bulin with the SpCore

like you exchange your money for food at a store...

if you don't need to use UR bulin, you dont have to buy them

buying them and not using= minus one dockspace

[tulip tinsel]

ye

[real folio]

i need one more for New Jersey (i know, i messed up, but shes already lb2)

[warm latch]

dont waste ur bulins on perma ur ships

[real folio]

she is the only UR i use

apart from Hakuhou, i dont own any others non perma ones

[atomic abyss]

still not worth

[real folio]

so far im getting away with using her at lb2

[atomic abyss]

at that point a MLB SR BB would be better

[polar venture]

I was able to get my account back! Thanks to all who gave me advice yesterday 😄

[real folio]

i just retrofitted maryland . all the other BB ships i have are lvl1

Here's all of them + a lvl1 Lyon

[warm latch]

clem, nelson, maryland

also you should focus your perma ur pity on vanguard instead of nj, assuming you dont have a mlb shinano, in which case shinano would take priority

nj is just really low priorty, shes the oldest and most powercrept ur bb

[real folio]

i saw everyone had her mlb so i started leveling her up and now im 2 bulins in. ive only got one shinano which was my pity pick for the first time

can i use clem without any similar faction ship?

[wind hazel]

just use maryland and your 2lb NJ

[tulip tinsel]

used nj ever since got her from a lucky pull, carried me with early-mid game stuff

[warm latch]

if you give her iris gear that also gives her the faction buff

but just use your already upgraded ships (maryland and nj) until you can upgrade the others

[swift path]

i kinda forgot but does affinity go up by going to battle with the ship too?

[polar venture]

Anyone know what event is coming after maintenance? Just trying to see if I should save cubes

[tulip tinsel]

unzen rerun

[swift path]

worth it?

[polar venture]

Thx

[tulip tinsel]

ur vanguard

[polar venture]

I would get her anyway bc she's cool

[wind hazel]

use the free ticket before pouring cubes

just be advised that we have collab November+new UR on December

[tulip tinsel]

according to guide she good offtank with nice dmg

[real folio]

i guess im stuck with new jersey and maryland for now...i also dont have any iris gear for clem

[wind hazel]

she's a mid ship either way, like i said just use your maryland and nj

[tulip tinsel]

[random summit]

Wich one is good for Musashi?

[wind hazel]

for pvp? either

[random summit]

Pvp

[turbid dawn]

Now that I've 'finished' OpSi what are the best zones to farm with extra AP?

[wind hazel]

c3 or c5

[turbid dawn]

I'm presuming that's just for the chance of cat nodes?

[wind hazel]

yes

[icy sphinx]

How do you complete a zone?

That's something I don't quite understand

[turbid dawn]

Just do the stars that it says for the zone, a lot of them are RNG

[median prism]

Is eldridge worth getting

I got her retrofit material

[wind hazel]

yes

[bronze solstice]

Is this item recommended for meta fights? Over catapults or maybe shells?

[viscid swift]

no

[spark patio]

hey cheeky, how much was your I-404 cross damage?

[viscid swift]

haen't been baying attention to that honestley

[hoary parcel]

High efficiency combat logistic plan when should I use them?

Questions 2 = can I just use all my Data Packs to lvl up my ships and would I effect my gameplay late game wise?

[soft raft]

Only when you lack time to grind since those let you do two runs at once (which also means double the oil cost and morale drain)

As for your 2nd question, wdym by how they would affect late game?

[hoary parcel]

I mean I'm spending every single data pack wouldn't it effect my late game in anyway? Lack f exp or som

[onyx flame]

i hope their talking about exp books and not combat data packs for the shipyard cause you want to convert those into protocore

[tulip tinsel]

the xp packs which lvl ships u can get them from study hall or whatever its called

Lecture hall

[soft raft]

If you mean the ship XP, no not really, esp when you start using lvl 100+ ships since the XP they grind also goes towards making XP packs

If you mean combat data XP for research, always convert those to protocore

[hoary parcel]

Alright thanks everyone I'll try to wrap my brain around this now and I was talking about the exp book

[soft raft]

XP books also didn't exist until like 3 years ago or so yet people managed just fine so you'll live if you run out

[hoary parcel]

Too lazy to grind for long hours

[short wagon]

do i buy from akashi in opsi

[onyx flame]

you buy ap packs and tokens (forgot to add)

[tulip tinsel]

ap boxes and tokens you can

[short wagon]

kk

[hoary parcel]

What othe uses to diamond have other then buying skins and secret tapes

[onyx flame]

buying dock spaces

which the the main use for f2p players

skins are really only for spenders

[hoary parcel]

That sounds miserable not being able to buy your favorite skin

[onyx flame]

there a very fix amount of gems you can get and basically no daily income so thats just how it is ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hoary parcel]

How ruthless... I'll keep that in mind I won't spend my gems recklessly but I also won't spend them on dock space yet

Questions = why do we need soo many dock spaces?

[soft raft]

There are like 700+ ships in the game and you'll naturally build up a fairly big collection as you play

Also the more available space you have, the longer you can grind before the dock full popup interrupts you

[jaunty vault]

collector mentality

[hoary parcel]

I'm not much of a collector infact I only collect golden ships sooo can I sacrifice dock space for a skin?

[soft raft]

Still would not recommend it

The 2nd point I mentioned would still stand as a reason to buy more dock space

[hoary parcel]

Alright I'll keep that in mind if the dock space Interrupts my gameplay alot I'll sacrifice buying dock space instead of skin

[short wagon]

why do i get exp in opsi SOMETIMES and not others

[onyx flame]

red enemies ships give exp, blue enemies ships do not

[short wagon]

i see, thaanks

[polar venture]

Game is going to go on maintenance today?

[soft raft]

No
#game-news would've had patch notes posted by now if that were the case

[polar venture]

Oh ok I saw something in my mail box that confused me I guess

[grizzled creek]

Is there a best Perma UR ship ? Does the free rookie ticket make a difference in that choice as well

[ivory pawn]

Currently Shinano > Vanguard. You want to focus on one ship at a time anyways, so if you do use the rookie ticket you just finish Shinano faster.

If you only just hit 400, and don’t plan to do more than the daily pull for the rest of the Tempesta event, might be worth saving your pity to next week.

[grizzled creek]

Yea I jus hit 400 & won’t pull til next UR

I only own a few URs though

[ivory pawn]

There is a chance Musashi will be added next week, depending on your current URs she might take the crown of best standard UR.

[grizzled creek]

I only have Alsace & Haku that just left

& then both the free URs that came with em

[ivory pawn]

[idle perch]

does losing in a challenge mode contributes to att win ratio?

[ivory pawn]

Might be better to pick up Shinano? I’mma absolve here and let other opinions come in.

[grizzled creek]

Ok thx

[ivory pawn]

You have a UR BB, and Shinano will go well with Haku at least until you hopefully pick up Amagi next year.

[spark patio]

thought Shinano and Hakuhou share the same role? wasn’t she?

[grizzled creek]

Hm

[ivory pawn]

Hakuhou replaced Shinano in anti-heavy comps that included AmagiCV. No Amagi, so replace Amagi instead.

The real caveat with Shinano is if you don’t use UR bulins you’ll probably have Amagi by the time you finish.

[spark patio]

btw, how good is Vanguard

[soft raft]

Very solid buffer for triple BB comps
Her damage is pretty eh for a UR BB

[grizzled creek]

I am 1 bulin off at the moment

I guess I can wait n see what comes soon maybe but

[ivory pawn]

If Alsace and Haku are already MLB, maybe worth. You’ll get enough bulins back by the time the Dec UR shows up.

[spark patio]

just use her for BB buff?

[grizzled creek]

They are both MLB yea

[soft raft]

That's why you would use her yeah

[spark patio]

should we tier her in support?

[grizzled creek]

I guess I don’t mind waiting to see what the next UR is I guess

[spark patio]

btw, 90% Musashi will be permanent next week?

[ivory pawn]

I wouldn’t say 90, iirc all we know is a past event is being added to WA. But yes.

[eternal basalt]

ALM's Discord: "Why would we bet it’s guaranteed." Here:

[onyx flame]

quick question regarding mrlar calc, how do you tell if a fleet is sync

[sweet delta]

Look at fleet sync view and see if they're close enough for every salvo

[spark patio]

what are fleet sync and salvo? wh is mrlar calc too?

[cobalt rapids]

/calc

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Calculator for precise fleet reload times by mrlar

[onyx flame]

currently looking at my fleet seems like their basically in sync (red isnt good right?)

[cobalt rapids]

Its not synced
And red doesnt mean good or bad

[sweet delta]

Is there a sync guide

[cobalt rapids]

Consider that saiun ju need like 3.5 to 4s to reach a boss usually and avp freeze is gone after 4s try to play with lars tool matching those reqs

[novel solstice]

What do you want a guide to tell you? Basically just use one of the online tools to check timing, then if you want something faster or slower you tweak the gear. There isn't that much gear to try tweaking with, so just try it and see what makes the timing line up.

[cobalt rapids]

Easy to say when u have all the context

[shadow yarrow]

I got a gold single 113, what do i do with it
sidegrade 76?

[cobalt rapids]

Slightgrade

[shadow yarrow]

I can roll with that

[lyric stump]

How i get to it

[cobalt rapids]

if auto pathing cant do it, i cant do it

[lyric stump]

Bruh

I hav to giv up this one?

[cobalt rapids]

apparently

[onyx flame]

so basically you want the other 2 carriers to go before avp
This in theory would be a better sync right (at my current rld tech of 10)?
still kinda stinky at the 3rd breakpoint but once i bump my rld tech up by another 10ish it looks better

[sweet delta]

AvP is best as second, with the third CV not using vit2

[cobalt rapids]

technically you want the freezer to be in the middle due to how the jam works and that freezing is delayed ( as in doesnt proc on launch ) so with avp in the mid you get the tightest sync because that means the 2 other cvs can be as close as 0.5s from avp (due to jam )
for example here avp launches at 69.27 that means her freeze will proc at ~71.77
hakuhou strikes at 67.86 that means theres a ~3.9s gap between her launch and avp freeze
which means she could potentially miss but with ryuusei and because of avp scaling slow its unlikely but yea

[onyx flame]

mid as in second to launch yea? if thats the case its a pretty easy fix for mine where i just swap one of nano saiun for a junker

[slow schooner]

are sailing frigate ships actually good for anything?

[frozen solstice]

what's that

[sweet delta]

A UR ship selector as you may guess

[forest palm]

outside of cheesing Sub Raid(which you only need to do once), they are essentially collection tier

[grave cove]

I'm working on meowfficers. Im a little confused on how to level the comf-fort. Is it just based on cat exp gain?

[forest palm]

pretty sure it's all static, and you have to do your daily collections to raise the level/gain experience

[sweet delta]

To level the comfort, you just have to click the bubble a max of three times per day

[forest palm]

it's been an age

[tulip tinsel]

takes like 4months or something ish

or more

[grave cove]

Gotcha, yeah it seems very slow so wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Also I found the Riceist guide is that the recommended one to follow for cats?

[forest palm]

considering they haven't physically updated how meowficers work, and have only recently added new ones(of which are static)...Rice's guide will probably still work

[grave cove]

Gotcha ty

[slow schooner]

Def a bit more, I've been playing almost daily for ~6 months and still have a few lvls to go

[tulip tinsel]

they arent updated cuz there havent been much new meows in a long time

[forest palm]

well, even in leu of adding new cats, mechanically it hasn't changed since its introduction

[tulip tinsel]

yea

[hard dock]

hi chat
How do you time Enty/Imply/YorkII airstrikes?

[stark quiver]

implac fires second

[fringe moth]

I just joined at the start of the current event. I decided that I wanted to make a full tempesta fleet and I have. Now I need gold canons and was wondering if any of the current event nodes dropped gold canons. I have all the canons from the shops. I saw on the wiki that the war archives have canon drops on t5 and t6 but I don't see canon drops listed for the same nodes on the current event.

[tulip tinsel]

cannons drop from t5/t6

[sweet delta]

You can check it in game

[stark quiver]

the image i sent went poof

[hard dock]

York First?

[stark quiver]

either works i think

[rain bobcat]

well you have to make york fire first if you dont want enty to eventually fire too early

[hard dock]

oh right york has the CD skill

[fringe moth]

Huh, so that's what that question mark is for. Thank you. Now if only I could clear t6 not by the skin of my teeth. Guess I should get my last demi canon on the current t5, then go to war archive and do t6 there until I have a few more yellow canons. I wish I had a better source of 12lb long guns than the monthly shop.

[sweet delta]

Or use actually good ships instead of Tempesta?

[fringe moth]

No, I am here for tempesta. Once this event is done, the next year of azur lane will be prepping for the next Halloween event

[hard dock]

what is this thing

[violet grail]

Gotta respect the dedication

[ivory pawn]

It's a deactivated alarm, you can ignore it now.

[scarlet cosmos]

is warspite still meh after her augment?

[soft raft]

Lower end UR BB

[rain bobcat]

she's quite good

particularly useful for pvp but not extremely in useful in other boss content

given that the others have basically same or more output+buffs

[scarlet cosmos]

sounds good! How is she when mobbing?

i really like hindenburgh too, but is she meh as well? I remember asking about her and all I got is that shes good for op sci mob

[ivory pawn]

She's one of the top damage dealing Vanguards.
Unfortunately, that's just not a very useful role. But you can successfully bring her to a fair bit more than just opsi mobbing. As long as you're not trying to oneshot Harbiter or the META, she should pull her weight.

[rapid shard]

For the support columns is that still dmg listed?

[rain bobcat]

its something damage when there are buffs or 3 BBs I think

I can only read japanese not chinese so not completely sure.

the first 2 columns just say BB/CV solo

so its probably something like effective damage for the 4th row

again could be wrong since alsace shouldn't be that far behind zwei in raw dmg

[hard dock]

Is opsi reset tonight or tomorrow night?

[stark quiver]

shes not usefull in pvp anymore

[rain bobcat]

thats just lion diff

you can use seyd spite comps as well if you cope no lion but then again no lion is already gg

[stark quiver]

thats not lion diff

[rain bobcat]

and spite is useless when you have lion

[rain bobcat]

thats tomorrow

[stark quiver]

it is a concealment diff

[rain bobcat]

good damage, for anything not META you can use her

but all she does is dmg so if you have traf/ply its usually better to use them

[forest palm]

Nakhimov comps fell q little

[dusty oasis]

Is there anyone worth getting from the medal shop specifically CA

[forest palm]

No

[soft raft]

nop

[dusty oasis]

alr

is there anyone in general worth getting from medal shop

[undone plover]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/shop_priority/#medal

[quartz breach]

Does the submarine fleet add to the fuel cost for sorties?

[weary gust]

Only if they enter the battle through being called.

Them being present in the map by itself doesn't cost any oil.

[sweet delta]

@dusty oasis follow this but consider the following. The guide is now outdated, recommending Hood strictly over Alabama. And San Diego I understand @vale spindle thinks is too expensive but she's still better to buy than tirpitz/bism and above or below Sirius depending on dock

Because buying tirp/bism is for fdg tech, and fdg is several times more expensive than sandy

[dusty oasis]

thanks

[rapid shard]

Doesn't Bama with new Augment outperform Hood with Augment now?

Also how does Bama stack up to current higher end gold BBs like Oumi Owari etc?

[rain bobcat]

she's still considerably worse

oumi and owari are very good for being golds with no augments

[sweet delta]

Izumo is a rate below owari

[rapid shard]

Looking at your budget mob fleet recs for ch14 would Bama be a better choice over retro Maryland? Or is there something skill set wise im overlooking?

[sweet delta]

I would say that Alabama is better

[rich blaze]

does anyone know when eldridge retrofit item will be available next? She seems really good for helping vanguard survive solo bosses.

[bleak junco]

I don’t know if I’ve gotten much or any of these rainbow ones but are they worth spending the cubes and coins on? It’s also hakuryuu who I don’t know will be useful to me or not…. What content is she good for anyway

[north gorge]

You'll have to wait for it to get added to proto shop, rerun for it was a few months ago so it will be a while

[north gorge]

Haku has coin up so that is definitely not worth it, why are you even getting PR4 researches showing up?

[bleak junco]

Agir…….. I don’t wanna spend my coins…..

[rain vine]

🤨 you have 381k
just buy 10 prints per day

[north gorge]

Coins will be way faster than waiting on research and you won't be putting yourself behind on the actually relevant research seasons

[bleak junco]

NO. I WONT RISK GOING UNDER 300k I WILL FEEL REALLY BAD EMOTIONALLY

[bleak junco]

okay… fine… maybe you’re right….

my coins… my precious…..

[uneven knot]

lemme hold some of those coins twin

[rain bobcat]

300k is like 50k oil

[hard dock]

who should I spend blue books on? Is it worth spending them on like lvl 80+ shipgirls

[ivory pawn]

EXP books? Just use them to bring shipgirls up to a high enough level to survive whatever stage you farm.

[hoary parcel]

Is London good?

[eternal moth]

She's not really worth the investment over the ships you can start the game with. If you haven't seen it, I recommend https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips https://azurlaneecgc.com/early_ship_recommendations

[stark quiver]

is this month temperence

[hoary parcel]

Is this ship good?

[wind hazel]

mediocre

[light quest]

If I get a copy of an SR ship that I already have at max limit break, do I covert them to medals?

[rain vine]

yes

And this but it hasnt been updated in a while https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home

[hard dock]

So there aren't any hard mode stages in this event?

[hoary parcel]

Soo much reading TvT

[rain vine]

nope

[obtuse island]

nope

same time same thing lmao

[hard dock]

do I farm T5 or T6?

[rapid shard]

Its a lot of reading but will save you way more time and keep you from making poor choices early that will hold you back

[hoary parcel]

Hmmcoi

[rain vine]

T5 drops the IX BB Gun, T6 drops the IX DD Gun
depends on which one you need

[hard dock]

Okayy ty

which one do I need

[wind hazel]

you can buy 2 old demi from shop

and you're very unlikely to use that many tempesta at the same time unless you wanna meme

[hard dock]

oh and do they drop ships

[hoary parcel]

All of these are ur....

[wind hazel]

so farm t6 because that can only be farmed and not bought anywhere

[rain vine]

t6 drops pearl

[soft raft]

???
No it isnt???

there's SRs on the first one but they're all towards the bottom

but that's also called the End game tierlist for a reason so

[hoary parcel]

Oh mb

[stark quiver]

i agree

[obtuse island]

should i get another tenrai copy from the prototype shop? i don't really think i'd be able to take advantage from it since in my boss fleet only hakuhou uses dive bombers and i already have a tenrai, meanwhile i also already have the other important pr gears

[rain bobcat]

how is hakuhou ur only DB slot in 3CV boss

[obtuse island]

it's not a 3 cv boss fleet, also i got confused for a sec, i also use shinano but i use the suisei to sync her with hakuhou

[stark quiver]

why do you need suisei

[rain bobcat]

suisei makes shinano too fast

[rain bobcat]

some uneven oathing pepega I am guessing

but suisei should never be the option eitherway

[stark quiver]

uneven oathing does not matter

[obtuse island]

nvm

[hasty sequoia]

Anyone having trouble logging into sandy? I tried emulator and phone

[keen owl]

Who should be the Flagship mainfleet and the Tank on Vanguard?

[rain bobcat]

no, I can login fine

[rain bobcat]

setup is fine

[keen owl]

Thnx

[hasty sequoia]

I see thx

[scarlet cosmos]

so i just unlocked daisen and bayard. i really want hindenburgh

should i pr30 both daisen and bayard before going after hinden?

[vale spindle]

whilst you get the 150 hinden prints from catchup you can still be on pr7

[scarlet cosmos]

yeah that's what im doing right now

[fringe moth]

I am farming a demi canon from the current event's T5 node. I saw the canon in my reward list but it is not in my depo. I found canons in the craft tab. Do I need to farm for 15 demi canon drops for each canon I want?

[wind hazel]

yes, which is not worth it. just buy them from event shop

unless you wanna equip all 4 main fleet tempesta for some reason

[fringe moth]

I do want all my tempesta to have to have gold canons. I bought all the available canons from the event shop and the other canon from the core shop. Guess I am on the hook for more farming

I am running a full team of tempesta

[silk sphinx]

core shop does refresh monthly so

[wind hazel]

but why...

[silk sphinx]

eh, i'm tempted myself for fun

[wind hazel]

core shop doesnt sell old demi

[silk sphinx]

people play for fun, as long as you enjoy it and know tempesta ships aren't that good then you're fine

[wind hazel]

you wanna farm some old heavy from T6 too, otherwise you gotta farm from war archives

[silk sphinx]

i still wouldn't really farm it unless you really insist on it though, because gear blueprint map farming is extremely laborious

drop rates aren't that great and you want a whopping 15 of them per gear item

[fringe moth]

I am here for tempesta

[wind hazel]

good luck have fun

[fringe moth]

I am getting the last demi I need to help clear the t6 node. I only get by that node by the skin of my teeth

[rapid shard]

Just so your aware. Im at 58k on milestone and have only gotten 18 BP prints from T6. Drop rate is absolutely shit for BP farming

[rapid shard]

If you can squeeze a few clears out it drops the threat level making it much easier the more you clear it

[fringe moth]

That is right, I forgot about that, Once my fleet's mood recovers I will give it another shot

[scarlet cosmos]

stupid question - why is daisen gun better than twin 410 kai?

is it just the fp stat?

[wind hazel]

it's a different use case

410 is usually for mobbing

[azure drum]

Why does York's Darkness Field skill increase secondary gun crit rate when she doesn't even have a secondary gun?

[scarlet cosmos]

So Daisen gun is for bossing?

[wind hazel]

can be for mob too

[analog tendon]

How do i unlock Flame's Aggression? I thought it would unlock one of the talents every 5 levels but apparently not. Do i have to max out Tempesta Lookout first?

[rain bobcat]

enemy dependent. daisen gun is AP

[hollow gust]

Keep leveling the then

[rain bobcat]

max lookout (3) before flame node yes

[scarlet cosmos]

Ohh i see now, ty everyone

[tulip tinsel]

you get 1 skill token or whatever its called and use it to unlock the next skill u can

[versed forum]

DD=FP or CL=FP which is the most important for fleet tech? can't decide which one

[rain bobcat]

dd

[forest palm]

just run 1x CL/CA/CB 2x DD if you're tech grinding imo

[weak elk]

which priority ship to prioritize?

i only have neptune and roon

[wind hazel]

roon will be more beneficial for ironblood tech down the line

[weak elk]

roon is finished im in need of a new ship to work on

[violet grail]

Finished as in dev 30?

[weak elk]

in my dock and usable no upgrades yet

[violet grail]

If youre levelling ships to unlock stuff in shipyard go for FdG

[violet grail]

The priority ships arent worth using until they are dev 30 for the most part. Its the same sort of thing as mlbing regular ships.

[wind hazel]

roon>filler>fdg/anchorage>agir>rest of PR4(can skip MP)>plymouth/shimanto>the rest

if you can start anchorage, rush her

rush as in catchup+unlock her

[weak elk]

fdg i can anchorage i need 12 more eagle union pts

[wind hazel]

just buy some eagle union ship from guild shop

[weak elk]

does the level of the ship raise faction pt?

[wind hazel]

huh?

[warm latch]

you get tech points on obtain, mlb and 120

if you can, buy unobtained eagle union ship and you should get enough points

[weak elk]

hmm how many pts does an obtain give?

[violet grail]

depends on rarity and hull type, heavier ships give more.

https://azurlaneecgc.com/fleet_technology/ you can check points here

[weak elk]

oh its done

[wind hazel]

you're missing 12, just buy any lol

[weak elk]

i bought menapolis

[wind hazel]

[analog tendon]

Questions about War Archives: when the wiki says that a ship will be added to perma pool/core shop/etc, does it mean it will be FOREVER available in said place after i play that War Archive for the first time?
Also, does the "guaranteed SR after 60th run of the final map" keep count if i play other events (like the current one) and go back to the War Archive later?

[boreal wagon]

they are in perma pools/shops even if you dont play the war archive at all
yes (the counter is per War Archive, but it always starts at 0)

[analog tendon]

Thanks

[sick kettle]

which neutral gear bp do i convert next? those are the only ur gears that i have (theres like plenty of option in guide so idk which one should i prioritize)

[eternal basalt]

You don't need to play at all, but no, ships do not stay permanent there. Several older additions have moved to other shops

They simply listed where they got moved on when that event got archived (cause we run too far behind without keeping that up-to-date)

[modest pilot]

Do I just convert chairs, notebooks and oil?

[onyx flame]

Could take a look at this guide, it really dependa on what you need/use
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab/

[mild onyx]

why is my Vanguard a CL

even the chibi is her

[wind hazel]

because ligma

just restart your game

[tulip tinsel]

if restart doesnt work the files might be corrupted or sum, then just data repair in login screen

[eternal basalt]

Let me guess? LDPlayer

[mild onyx]

yup

[rain bobcat]

LD is quite horrible these days, many bugs

[hoary parcel]

Is there any ship tier list ranging from elite, super rare and ur?

[tulip tinsel]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home

or this https://azurlaneecgc.com/samvaluation/

[eternal basalt]

It's an issue that frequently pops up in LDPlayer... dunno why it does that but a reboot fixes it

[analog tendon]

is there a way to exchange/convert into something else gear blueprints? Or if i am not interested in crafting random blue/purple gear will they just sit there in the Craft inventory?

[boreal wagon]

they just sit there forever but they dont take up any kind of space as long as u dont actually craft them

[abstract solar]

Do we know approximately when alsace or Guam rerun comes? I remember there was a post that listed the potential upcoming reruns in order

[safe nexus]

after getting wyvern in gear lab who do i target?

[wind hazel]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/ships?rarity=6&sortType=date

+~2 years from the dates

[abstract solar]

The that would mean Guam is around 1 or 2 months

[wind hazel]

2

[warm latch]

later, new ur is in dec

[abstract solar]

Guess I'll skip the ships in this event then, since I'm low on cubes

[tulip tinsel]

tempestas are only collection and wifes

[safe nexus]

i also just made ju 87, so what now

[tropic parcel]

fleet for i-404?

[ivory pawn]

I-404 + 2 strong subs. Flasher + Archer/Albacore/Homura prob best, but you can also use some combo of Flasher, Leonardo, Maggiore, 556META, or some other strong sub.

[tropic parcel]

ah alright, thought she needed a full ijn sub fleet

[wind hazel]

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

[safe nexus]

ok ty

[eternal basalt]

UR reruns are AFTER there 2 year anni. See, Unzen thursday, 2 years after OG run.

[eternal moth]

Ju-87, or Ju-87d?

One's a DB, the other's a TB. The TB is the good one

[safe nexus]

the one from the
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab/

torpedo bomber section

[timid vortex]

Why doesn't auto choose? I have several free lvl 100 units

[plain saffron]

it's in fleet somewhere

[violet grail]

They are probably assigned to your exercise fleet

[timid vortex]

[plain saffron]

hard mode fleet also prevent auto select

[violet grail]

Just finished spending all my AP on c3 and got a c5 abyssal logger right at the end. I guess the regen might get me enough before the monthly reset.

Defo not worth spending 1k oil for an AP refill right? And worst case just taking the 400 exchange shop points it converts to is fine too probly.

[rain bobcat]

you dont need more than like 10-11k a month

[wind hazel]

just wait until tomorrow

as in before reset tomorrow lol

[junior fractal]

Would it be a waste to use the UR Series 8 blueprints on FDG? She's my only DR ship so far. Working on Agir at the moment. Should I just be patient and coin her up and save the blueprints for non-coinable DR ships? I feel like I've just answered my own question but still want to ask the experts.

[rain bobcat]

horrible idea to use blanks on coinables

also horrible idea to use dr8 blanks on anything below 7

[junior fractal]

yup I figured as much once I thought about it for longer than 5 seconds

ty for confirming

[violet grail]

Yeah if I wake up, i usually wake up after the reset. Ah well whatever.

[violet grail]

I just got to 10k points for next month yeah.

[violet grail]

Stay strong on the long coining grind

[junior fractal]

in my moment of weakness I wanted to spend it all to get her to dev lvl 25

[wind hazel]

just do her catchup and keep coining

[junior fractal]

I will! Slow and steady....

gotta remember to be patient

[rain bobcat]

all for her to still be useless

it doesn't take too long, 2 months ain't much

[swift path]

there's no tempesta and the sleeping sea re-run isn't there

[rapid summit]

Is it supposed to be 587 bp or 372 bp for dev 30 (haven’t developed her yet so I don’t know if that’s affecting it)

[tulip tinsel]

meck doesnt have fs

[forest palm]

it counts Fate Sim prints even if the ship doesn't have it because it's a placeholder, so in a way all Research ships have Fate Sim just not fully implemented

ok...and?

it's for tutel
