[eternal basalt]

I mean, that'll happen even with a week rest

Except for us vets, who got nothing to pull

[forest palm]

I mean Marsei rerun you don't even have to spend cubes, you get her free

[rapid shard]

Well thats nice. I just seen rerun and haven't looked into it fully yet. Been trying to save up for collab and Unzen banners

[forest palm]

it's a small event with only 3 event maps, and no shop

[rapid shard]

Is she collection tier or actually decent?

[forest palm]

collection tier I feel

she is +1 FP~

[rapid shard]

Well she wont be getting bulins for quite a while then

[forest palm]

reasonable

[icy sphinx]

Quick question, the thing for gold UR ships, should I convert it into things to use on the proto shop?

The ones that give you blueprint, or should I use them to get more blueprint for a ship?

[rapid shard]

You talking about the blank blueprints that let you choose who they go to?

[icy sphinx]

Same question with combat data for shipyard ships at rank IV, I still don't have Anchorage so I don't know if I should use them on her

[icy sphinx]

Yes, those ones

[knotty jolt]

The prints no, the combat data yes

[eternal basalt]

Probably /2 points since 1 week rerun, and x5 each day

[rapid shard]

Dont use the data packs for XP, turn those into protocores.

[eternal basalt]

So each day 1000, 7000 total is all rewards

[forest palm]

should be able to just slam it in a day

[eternal basalt]

But it's x5 each day first clear

[forest palm]

eh...

[eternal basalt]

1. The event period has been shortened from two weeks to one week.
2. Each stage of the event will earn five times the amount of "Blank Sheet Music" once per day.
3. The number of attempts required to reach 100% of the event area progress has been reduced.
4. The event-exclusive "SP3 Clear" mission has been added (the exclusive icon frame "Stretch Award" can be obtained).
5. The exclusive furniture item "Stretch Ball" has been added to the cumulative points reward.
6. The following enhancements will be applied until the 11/20 maintenance:
Increased condition recovery speed for ships stationed in dormitories.```

[forest palm]

again you can do this in a day....

[eternal basalt]

But once a day x5

[wind hazel]

omg who fucking cares. farm however you want

[forest palm]

mhm

[icy sphinx]

Ok, thx

[eternal basalt]

And she's gonna get scrapped for me anyways. I want gold parts and t4 books

[forest palm]

burning bulins is more entertaining tbh

[peak fable]

I personally love this, because for me as a early-mid game player, that leaves more oil for more oil efficient activities, also known as Chapter 12 (I am always low on coins, oil and chips)

[eternal basalt]

~~As if us late-game players don't farm there too ~~

[sick kettle]

are these thing worth using or do i just stick with the x4 ones?

[forest palm]

Gold Quint Mag is bad

[raw edge]

Guys what should I do now that I'm lvl 30 and I'm at chapter 3

And I'm trying to search agir in the shipyard

[viscid swift]

Ignore the shipyard until you get to chapter 12 basically

[quiet kiln]

Should i get trade license over cruise pass if i want the gems? Or is cruise pass's other rewards worth it for the 200 less gems

[raw edge]

Ohh okayyt thanks and anything else?

All the yt guide are at 2 years old now

So im not sure if it's still useful

[quiet kiln]

What does the arrow mean? Get the cruise pass?

[onyx flame]

if your just valuing gems technically both of them arent worth it

[wary lake]

how do use the reward from level 8 intimacy for taihou in 3d dorm?

[tulip tinsel]

Should be in collection

[wary lake]

i get the "beloved companion" thing alongside the cutscene but don't know where is that one

[onyx flame]

thats a decoration for the room im pretty sure

[wary lake]

dang here i thought she get new stuff to wear

[tulip tinsel]

that's for gems

[spark patio]

my dock doesnt have any good BB so i want to use her as my BB, is it good? or i just wait for unzen?

[tulip tinsel]

unzen isn't a BB but yeah mlb sushi if you don't have other priorities

[thorn shoal]

what's currently the best lineup for non sub tempesta fleet

[viscid swift]

i-404, Flasher, Archerfish

[thorn shoal]

no i mean the main fleet

sorry for the bad wording

[viscid swift]

some combinations of all the SRs I'd imagine.
don't think anyone's bothered to try and work out which is the best considering they'd all be mediocre

[thorn shoal]

yea i know they're not the best, but using them together is aethetically pleasing, thanks for the advice tho

[sweet delta]

QAR plus two of
Ganj (heal)
Sao (real stagger plus buff, probably always pick her)
Pearl (slightly earlier damage)

And I believe there are 3 gold vanguard ships

[thorn shoal]

yea it's between ganj'i or pearl for me

[tropic tusk]

When was the last time this got upgraded?

[forest palm]

2 or so years back it used to be Lv 7

[woven star]

Full tempesta fleet isn't good idea cos they used their own guns. If looking for this event it's 3 main gun from t5 and 6 dd guns from t6. It's very expensive in oil value. And this's only for back line. For vanguards maybe better guns from shop as lowrld and better dmg.

[tacit mortar]

so where does QAR shine best?

[forest palm]

there's no content where you'd really want to use her...

[onyx flame]

waifu fleet

[stark quiver]

in a map where there is like 0 enemy planes

[peak fable]

is the gold suisei worth using or is it another helldiver low diff?

[atomic abyss]

it's a worse helldiver

nothing that comes out of tech boxes beats the helldiver

[undone plover]

there is no more reset before maint correct?

[broken anchor]

Are any of these ships worth keeping?

[tulip tinsel]

keep limited ones like kersaint and nuke the ones you can obtain

[crystal flume]

yeap most for stat
usually u save BB, CV, and DD one
It give bonus stat if u lvl them up to 120

[tulip tinsel]

yea keep ones that give fp/reload/avi/eva ones with hp can get nuked

[crystal flume]

^

[bleak sequoia]

I'm starting to work on 15 now, but I noticed Georgia at 120 has some high stats. I thought, Is it worth taking her to 125? Hmmm, looking her up on https://azurlaneecgc.com/samvaluation/ suggests it's not worth it. I'll leave her at 120. Good-enough 😄

[atomic abyss]

she really isnt

she's so far away from even the best gold BBs

stats dont tell you the whole picture

[bleak sequoia]

MGM and skills, gear, other ships per usual.

[viscid swift]

short answer, no
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit

long answer: no, no, no, she's been powercrept to hell

[atomic abyss]

she has less MGMs than usual

even when she came out she was already facing stiff competition

[bleak sequoia]

She's a mannequin for skins 😄 Thanks for all the other resources to check too.

[sweet delta]

I think a YouTuber recommended Georgia for chapter 15

The one you should avoid at all costs for gameplay Advice

[viscid swift]

which one there's so many

[safe crane]

this is probably a fair bit to ask but would anyone be willing to help me in dms so i can show what ships i have and what the best teams i can make are? im earlyish game in chapter 6.

[woven star]

+2 bbs FP is maximum what you can get

[viscid swift]

you could just start a thread in here and post that there

[orchid reef]

since musashi will be added um, will she be better than lion (boss fleet) or nj (mob fleet). or if should be musashi boss fleet and lion mob fleet

[rain bobcat]

musashi does like, half of lion's damage but is a cheat for campaign -- do what you will with that information

[orchid reef]

so lion boss, musashi mob right

but wdym by cheat in chapters

[fluid brook]

Shes just better

[sweet delta]

Is it time to dig up the game feedback post about Lion having the lowest HP of all rainbow BBs by far?

[fluid brook]

send it to me please

[orchid reef]

so lion is better or who is...sorry im bit dumb

can mlb musashi instant btw dw

[sweet delta]

Musashi and Lion are similar through chapter 14 but Musashi is notably better if your main fleet would be dying in 14 or 15

[fluid brook]

Ok, from the little that ik, Lion is better dmg dealer than Musashi, in Heavy/Med Boss, but Musashi is better in Mob Fleets

[orchid reef]

im at world 13 kinda, forgot doing it xd

[ivory pawn]

Musashi has a defensive skill that lets her take all of the damage the main fleet would take. Combo with being generally tanky, and a single target healer like Aquila, your main fleet will be incredibly safe compared to normal.

[fluid brook]

Stigma can you confirm this?

[orchid reef]

i use unicorn in healing in mob fleet

[fluid brook]

Yes, but add Musashi as offFlag for the defensive skill

• Some AA (not much but some atleast)

[orchid reef]

well lemme say the backline:

boss fleet- shinano, lion, hakuho? that ur girl in ninja event

mob fleet- unicorn, nj, enty

[ivory pawn]

As you should. The common mob setup to sleep through w14/15 is Uni-Musashi-Aquila.

[orchid reef]

i dont even know who aquila is

[soft raft]

Italian carrier
Her main thing is she has a targeted heal which works well to keep Musashi healthy as she tanks damage for the backline

[orchid reef]

but ima just use musashi instead of nj and thats it ig

[rain bobcat]

no

you just have to not have ur acv at air denial and below

[orchid reef]

yeah i didnt had her not even having her lmao

[rain bobcat]

flagging her is optimal

[tight thistle]

What about vanguard? How 2 build?

I use Guam for lead, and Kronstadt for other end is that alright?

[fluid brook]

Your right, I have become way too dumb for not even remembering my Waifus skills

[rain bobcat]

you only off flag her if you dont have a secondary healer for whatever reason and backline takes heavy dmg

she tanks for backline til 40% which means now that shes 40% and no healer if you have her flag and she sinks you lose

[fluid brook]

Which chapter was suicide bomber heavy?

[slow fox]

-# 11

[fluid brook]

Which BBs are stronger (does more damage or have more util) than Musashi in Med/Heavy Single Boss?

[grizzled mortar]

so if musashi is coming to perma soon should i pick her up or a shinano for LBing

[rain bobcat]

like every single BB after her?

[fluid brook]

If you dont have Shinano MLB, get Shinano

[fluid brook]

name em plz

[stark quiver]

but do they have a correct fleet for shinano

[fluid brook]

Isnt Shinano pretty good by itself?

[rain bobcat]

bismarck soyuz alsace lion and in technicality raffaello is better in w15

literally every single bb after musashi is better than her in damage and utility

[fluid brook]

And Against Med/Heavy Boss?

[rain bobcat]

yes

only raffa is not better than musashi against bosses

[soft raft]

What
Please elaborate

Not like I can really help you rn since I'm working rn

[rain bobcat]

musashi's value is her tanking skill and her still having great damage even if she's powercrept

[sweet delta]

Soyuz is worse than Musashi against heavy

[rain bobcat]

they're within like 3-5% iirc?

I know zwei and alsace are within 3% of musashi in heavy

[sweet delta]

Top heavy BBs are Lion and Meck and the third would be Bisz or Alsace depending on needs

Top mediums are Lion and probably Meck and the third is Bisz Alsace Soyuz

Soyuz is much worse than Musashi against heavy

[fluid brook]

You got Meck Dev30?

[sweet delta]

No, I am a casual player

[fluid brook]

Really? you who got banned for being too good?

But Meck is second best only if shes dev30?

[rain bobcat]

that much should be obvious since dev 30 is max limit break

[grizzled mortar]

(keeping in mind for my question that i have MLB Hakuhou and am developing Hakuryuu soon and have a 0LB Shinano)

[rain bobcat]

how many bulins you have and what BBs do you have

[eternal moth]

Musashi

[grizzled mortar]

I just used my bulins to finish Trafalgar, and I have Zwei, NJ, and FdG maxed for UR BBs

plus warspite if I finish her retro

[eternal moth]

Musashi at 2LB is easily better than any gold BB, at least for mobbing

She's fallen off a bit for boss fights, but is still at or near the top for mob AFAIK.

[safe crane]

does anyone have any tips for hard mode as a more midgame player? i dont quite understand it and im struggling to get 3 stars even on the early ones

[sonic nova]

uh, is the musashi bunny fit coming with her perm release

[soft raft]

Is this a fleet comp question or a mechanics question?

[slow fox]

-# Zen is understanding they are the same thing

[soft raft]

The bunny skin did not come out with her event so no

However it might show up during this year's black Friday sale

[hazy olive]

Does she beat Oumi?

[soft raft]

Quite handily
Musashi is still on the higher end of the UR BB power scale while Oumi is closer to the lower end/higher end SR BB

[hazy olive]

Ah I see

So essentially, Oumi, whilst being practically the peak of SR BB power, still doesn’t hold a candle to URs, and with the exception of healers, that point holds on every other ship too.

[soft raft]

That last part is generalizing it a bit too much when it varies case to case
Esp since there are no comparable URs for the main healer role

[violet grail]

So one thing to know is you can cheese the 3 stars by defeating the escort fleets then retreating before fighting boss. This doesn't use up one of the 3 daily attempts. If its in clearing mode, escort fleets will no longer spawn so you may have to turn off clearing more if you are missing escorts defeated.

If your struggle is just with actually winning, just stick to whatever hard chapter you can farm, and keep progressing in normal campaign to chapter 9 for oil cap then chapter 12 for efficient farming.

[crystal flume]

if i have mlb musashi and then get another dupe
what happen if i dismantle it? is there bonus or something?

[sweet delta]

You get 30 medals

[crystal flume]

so that's all i see thank you

[sweet delta]

You also get 500 specialized core but that counts towards the monthly limit so it's effectively 0 if you play half regularly

[crystal flume]

just gonna save it for collection
while at it.. if i have multiple musashi can each of them use different skin at same time?

1st using base skin and 2nd using oath skin something like that

[lost stirrup]

hi chat, i’m new to the game and dont know what kansen I should use, how do I know which ones to use?

[crystal flume]

can try showing what u have first

[lost stirrup]

mb

[rain bobcat]

suchi do you remember which archives got selector

one of my mates said he's never seen one but I know shima and NJ def got it

[sweet delta]

I can't remember something I never knew

[sharp socket]

yes thats what people usually use dupes for

[sweet delta]

Read the first few sections and use the starter fleet there. You can use Ark Royal, Unicorn, and a random BB for now and buy Alabama from the BB medal shop asap https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[lost stirrup]

Okay thanks

[brisk dragon]

what do i get ? i checked the cats i have i don't see those 2 . not sure if they're worth?

[undone plover]

i like getting unique event stuff
teach is good iirc
bonnet not sure but it is only 1k
u have pearl already
get oil
and cog chips + arrays after

[brisk dragon]

blueprints are no longer a top priority ?

[undone plover]

probably never was
too expensive
like u can get them if u farm enough
and ususally for ppl who farm 55k it is an easy pick up
but 10k tokens for 10 prints is not that amazing tbh

[brisk dragon]

yeh i bought her very early. didn't trust my luck in the farm " nor did i trust in the time i can farm" and i was correct c:

[brisk dragon]

talk to me like a player who came back after not palying for 3-4 years
cuz all my info is outdated and brain too stressed to update :c

[undone plover]

no worries
from what I see I would grab oil (if u havent)
then the cats and cog arrays and chips

[brisk dragon]

don't make me question my memory more than i already do. please tell me it was actually "top" priority back then

[undone plover]

it was top prio in some guides for sure

like it is good to pick up if u can afford it
i just mean in this case since u have 10k it doesnt matter much

grab the other stuff

[brisk dragon]

done

[undone plover]

like 10 selector blueprints mean u finish a DR ship 1 day early maybe

[uneven knot]

do u guys use these to speed up the process or just convert them?

[sweet delta]

I use the latest season's

And you should too

[uneven knot]

[fading dune]

may I ask howlong it takes Queen Anne's Revenge to cook before unlocking?

if its a different chatroom, I apologize

[sweet delta]

[fading dune]

I'm trying to pull QAR, how long does it take for her cube to be finished developing?

its not on the wiki

[slow fox]

-# 4:46:10

[sweet delta]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/ships/id/709?augmented=true

4:46:10

[fading dune]

thank you

[astral basin]

once i hit max limit break with a character i dont need to keep any more copys for anything do i?

[fading dune]

unless you can retrofit, no

[astral basin]

does retrofit take a copy?

[viscid swift]

yes

most of the golds to URs need 3

[astral basin]

ok thanks

also are these worth spending medals on or nah?

[hushed sorrel]

but dont keep dupes when the ship doesnt has a retrofit, all ships could get one one day but who knows when and how many ships do you want to keep :O

[astral basin]

yeah, i was planning on just retiring those

[weary edge]

i mean if u got nothing else to spend ur medals on then ig, make sure ur buying specialised cores first tho

[astral basin]

ig ill buy them cores then

[sweet delta]

I'd say those are the third worst way to spend medals, after blue plates and requisition

[weary edge]

i shouldnt use ur bulins on musashi right (as u shouldnt with any perma ur)

[vapid valve]

What UR should I get I have hit 400 ships

[weary edge]

musashi

[ivory pawn]

Depends on who you already have, but odds are wait until tomorrow and pick up Musashi.

[weary edge]

she’s coming to exchange after maintenance tn

[ivory pawn]

It can be worth, but as always it depends on what other URs you have and how many bulins you can buy.

[weary edge]

literally nothing 😭😭😭 and i have 4 rn

[vapid valve]

I have her and NJ

[weary edge]

if u dont have her mlb then get her again anyways

if u do have her mlb then either shinano or vanguard, proly shinano

[vapid valve]

I have shinano as well

[ivory pawn]

If she's really your only UR (or only UR not already MLB), and you can buy 4 bulins right now, I'm of the opinion to MLB her.

[weary edge]

i mean aside from i404 yeah

[astral basin]

mkay thx boss

[chrome ore]

Guys, what fast metode to get this things? I know it's from siren ops. But what ops? Im doing stronghold but for to get this thing almost never.

[viscid swift]

they're pretty rare to get as drops

[vale spindle]

Abyssal node not stronghold

[viscid swift]

fortunately you're guranteed to get 3 selectors from the shops and one from normal arbiter each month

[ivory pawn]

Abyssal Sirens, particularly 5 and 6, and cat nodes are the main RNG sources.

[vale spindle]

They are cat drops (rng rare) or abyssal drops (less rare but still rng)

[vale spindle]

You get some guaranteed from this ^^

[uneven knot]

i need 500+ ap to farm c3 right

[ivory pawn]

You just need to have finished everything else.

Just note we have 3 (4 if you want to tryhard) strongholds remaining in the month, plus all the daily missions.

[chrome ore]

But the energy tho, searching 200 meta point almost drain energy. And not enough for red zone area.

[ivory pawn]

Yes, so don't squandor AP packs until the last week. Just use natural regen to clear dailies and blow the rest on c3.

[uneven knot]

yeah ill try to save up as much as i can

i havent seen akashi in a while 😭

[slow fox]

Royal Fortune has no augmemt?

[spark patio]

should i craft the twin gun for my BB and is the bofor worth using?

[knotty jolt]

That twin is used most commonly on musashi as it's IJN gear

And the twin 40mm is good for its hit stat increasing BB damage reliability

[zenith heron]

That Borfor is a worse Stagg, So do not craft imo, while that twin gun is just best on Musashi, don't craft it if you have the Tripe 410 3rd Year gun (Izumo Gun)

[knotty jolt]

You can upgrade it also in the gearlab to essentially double it's bonus hit stat too

[rain bobcat]

its just a cheap option dont actually upgrade it to staag thats just a waste

[spark patio]

Izumo gun better than that twin gun?

[rain bobcat]

izumo gun is a 20s boss gun

[zenith heron]

The twin gun is barely better

[rain bobcat]

you use izumo gun when you pair musashi with other BB

[spark patio]

so izumo gun just niche use?

[spark patio]

can i use it for other BB like nelson retrofit?

[rain bobcat]

well its niche/useless if you have other BBs better than musashi for bossing since you will never use it on mobs

[knotty jolt]

Yea if ya want, more hit is more hit

Oh woops wrong message I'm looking at

[knotty jolt]

Just use the normal bb gear that's more specialized

[viscid swift]

CN Datamine 11/5/2025

[zenith heron]

so does the twin gun for mentioned, both are either alright for Musashi, but not great for almost any BB if the Champy Gun exists

[knotty jolt]

datamine

[spark patio]

so the gun i have and izumo gun is good for Musashi but other BBs?

[undone plover]

Other BB usually use champy/flandre gun for AP bossing
And twin 457 for mobbing

who are the top 6 worst al content creators in terms of gameplay

[forest palm]

active, inactive, or both

both

[viscid swift]

Uhhhhh

Really hard to narrow it down to just 6 yikes

[slow fox]

Worst content creator is me

1: Extremely cryptic
2: Not that accessible
3: Barely online
4: Does exactly what 90% of community doesn't care

-# Second worst content creator is Suchiguma for not putting me in the footnotes of all of his videos

[stark quiver]

ill switch gunnar with alm

[sonic hemlock]

Hawk isn't even a gameplay content creator.

[viscid swift]

I know

But tbh his video on the state of AL left a really bad taste in my mouth and he has even followed up on it like he said

[rapid grail]

just3c for recommending people to not go ham on farming hvars on og run of parallel superimposition

[sonic hemlock]

How dare someone voice an opinion that more and more people are having lately.

[viscid swift]

Oh and OG gangster for being an actual criminal and disgusting human

[viscid swift]

I don’t have an issue with him voicing the opinion so much as the manner he went about it

[lost trout]

how long until maintenance?

[viscid swift]

That video seemed to be made to create drama and stir up feelings intentionally or not

[sonic hemlock]

I mean, that one video was a bit more reactive to much more recent content. He's working on a much longer, much more thought out video.

[viscid swift]

Like, was the dramatic music really necessary if he was just putting his initial opinions out there

[soft raft]

1 hour 16 mins from now

[sonic hemlock]

I don't know what music that was since it seems he removed the video, but I'm almost 100% certain it was music from AL itself.

[soft raft]

No off topic images here btw fyi

[viscid swift]

I don't know but where it was from but either way it was very doom and gloom as well as dramatic

Either way, a poor choice

[sonic hemlock]

I mean... Yeah, his opinion on the current direction of AL is kinda doom and gloom since it's like AL is trying to hold on through fanservice and nothing else.

So in a way the music fit his feelings about it.

[viscid swift]

Which is fine

But stirring up even more controversy and drama on the matter which the video seemed perfectly set up to do

Is not going to endear me to such a creator

[sonic hemlock]

But like I said, that video was a bit of a reaction to the most recent content at the time. He's working on a longer, more structured feedback video on the current state of AL.

[viscid swift]

Given it would have been less work to not have music at all, I am not impressed to say the least

[stark quiver]

isnt hawk the guy who made state of AL

[viscid swift]

Yes

[stark quiver]

understandable

[gilded dune]

[gilded dune]

thanks! these new ships with the canons good at all? i grinded tf out of this event but only got enough canons for one girl

[onyx flame]

tempesta ships are not good, since they lack AA among other things

[gilded dune]

bummer

[onyx flame]

useable but they will perish against any type of plane spam

[gilded dune]

got it will not bullin any

[slow fox]

-# I got daylight saving'd
-# I thought I had an hour

[sweet delta]

Lyme and Fancy are tanky and have decent damage, so they are decent even in chapter 15 as long as you have other AA

[rapid grail]

+1 ammo slot, they are goated. Better than ARs because you don't have to sacrifice a backliner slot; they just occupy the front. Backliner Tempestas don't have that privilege though since they don't even have the AA that makes ARs barely worth considering for.
-# assumes: 1. farming content; 2. get a certain aux from current event shop or core data shop; 3. the other ships can cover for the Tempesta botes' weaknesses such as AA and damage

[slow fox]

-# Wao which aux

[rain bobcat]

wut

[slow fox]

-# Isn't that only sub ammo

[rain bobcat]

what that does is basically increase sub ammo count by 1

that's not fleet ammo in campaign maps

[boreal wagon]

it does increase fleet ammo by 1 as well if equipped on a non sub IX

[sonic nova]

whats the musashi outfit selection pack, it includes the bunny fit?

[boreal wagon]

its usually any outfit they have and you get to select one of them

[sonic nova]

doesnt she only have two, disregarding oath skin

[boreal wagon]

also contrary to what the in game description wants you to believe sub ammo does not cap at 6 but fleet ammo does

[boreal wagon]

yes but i was more so saying thats how those UR outfit selectors work in general

[sonic nova]

so uh, said picking would mean just getting the skin thats not the bunny fit no?

[boreal wagon]

you can choose between her bunny skin and her boat skin

[sonic nova]

fr? I was under thr impression hrr bunny fit wouldnt rerun

[boreal wagon]

its not rerunning but every time a UR gets made permanent a voucher like this is added to the shop that just lets you pick any of their skins

[sonic nova]

ah

[sonic nova]

How much do they go for usually bte

[boreal wagon]

i dont remember unfortunately

[eternal basalt]

The patchnotes list this, no? Atleast the JP does

[rain bobcat]

wait now that lars is here

do you know which archives got selector?

my friend says he's never seen it before but I definitely remember NJ and shima -- dont know abt the rest because I missed their archive runs

[slow fox]

holy ecarp

Does it stack

[boreal wagon]

on normal fleets no

[boreal wagon]

aka this

[boreal wagon]

on EN only shima and ulrich

CN had NJ i believe but dont quote me on that

[rain bobcat]

did they rerun the skin on archive for those who didn't get it or just none

[boreal wagon]

idr how they did shina and kron but vanguards skin just reran

[rain bobcat]

ty mr database

[boreal wagon]

oh kron and vanguard also had a selector but its name was diff so i didnt see it (which is funny cuz they only have one skin)

[rain bobcat]

[boreal wagon]

NJ and Shina prolly had them only on CN but yeah dont quote me on that

[wind hazel]

i will quote you

[pure jasper]

I saw something about a collab, is that still going on or did I miss it?

[inland shoal]

You mean date a live? That's still coming

[pure jasper]

Oh nice I'm just on time then time to grind I suppose

[inland shoal]

If you mean danmachi that one's over for a while

[pure jasper]

Nah I already knew I missed that one, nothing I really wanted from there anyway

I will be getting kurumi tho

[eternal basalt]

~~You cursed it. Kurumi not included ~~

[pure jasper]

yostar loves money to much not to

Do we know that Independence augment will do?

[cobalt rapids]

indep is a campaign ship

[undone plover]

Check merit shop and war archive divergent chessboard

[tidal dust]

What should i use my UR pity pull on, its my first one

[tulip tinsel]

Musashi is top prio now iirc or the other floof

[ashen saffron]

soo um ho do i get ?

[forest palm]

read above your post

[eternal moth]

Literally the post above that one -.-

[ashen saffron]

my bad

[slender turtle]

If i have both skins from that pack that has mushashi skins, what happens if i were to buy it? Lol

[robust onyx]

You likely get gems instead of a skin

[forest palm]

it should tell you

[split gazelle]

u-81's aug worth getting?

[eternal basalt]

1080 discount coupon

[slender turtle]

Ah not bad not bad

[last zenith]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/equips/id/34300?level=11 this best mobbing gun for sushi right

[onyx flame]

yea

[last zenith]

good

[onyx flame]

unless your mobbing above w13

[last zenith]

fuck. If so what is the best

[onyx flame]

uh daisen gun

[last zenith]

which is...

[last zenith]

oh this thing

[native spoke]

Does it matter which fleets these units are in?

[viscid swift]

they need to be in the fleet that fights the boss

and you only need one of them for the bonus

[last zenith]

so this best gun for above world 13

[native spoke]

i see, thanks

[eternal basalt]

Bossfleet

Algerie META counts too, even if not listed

[viscid swift]

what about La Gal META

[last zenith]

how do u get more research 7 stuff.

[spark patio]

do i need to 3 star each stage? or just the boss is enough

[onyx flame]

for musashi mobbing ya

[last zenith]

perfect.
how do I get more research 7 stuff again

[onyx flame]

up to you if you deem the 3 star reward worth bothering for the oil cost

[onyx flame]

research academy and picking season 7 gear research

[last zenith]

I completely forgot how to pick gear research. its just the normal research thing right

[onyx flame]

yea gear just means picking the research that is most optimzed for giving gear bp, just look at the pic i sent above to see for gear focus, but it still subject to rng

[last zenith]

k

[dry tree]

Marselaisse retro when

[wind hazel]

tomorrow

[robust jackal]

Did this update include the QOL changes or is that coming later?

[spark patio]

any information about next week?

[viscid swift]

Unzen rerun

[sharp comet]

what is the +10 from?

[boreal wagon]

its the replacement for the onsen that wouldve normally reran

[sharp comet]

ohhh

[wind hazel]

can you get 11k event just by doing daily? or need to do some farming?

[wary saffron]

I got Shinano how do I make her nuke people

[spark patio]

is the gun in SP3 worth grinding?

[wind hazel]

not really

it's decent gun but don't specifically grind for it

[spark patio]

then i just grind for merseiabwishdjebdbc

[rain vine]

daily runs give you 8750 over the course of the week, so you need to farm a bit

[hollow gust]

Independence augment feels so meh, is the barrage even good

[sweet delta]

[spark patio]

btw, is Independence aug worth crafting? or just collection tier?

[half topaz]

We getting a separate chat for Island planner, or is it this channel too?

[boreal wagon]

#1422463299877867540

[sweet delta]

Likely to be A tier for new player on my list but 🔮 I can't calculate it this week

[viscid swift]

It's worth crafting yes

[pliant tiger]

Shop priority is only prints, right? I got Pearl through drop and already have the grapeshot and chest

So idk if those items are good.

[viscid swift]

I'd get the cog chips first but your needs may be different from mine

[pliant tiger]

I am an old player, so I have 224k cog chips so for me it is about if the item is great or not.

[white sandal]

then get the prints

[pliant tiger]

[sweet delta]

Is there cheaper than 6 oil for T3?

[orchid reef]

should i use these weapons on nj on musashi? or change

[orchid reef]

what if i am doing mob fleet...

[sweet delta]

It's just a 13% or so increase to her own damage, doesn't make Wolfpack better than fish 404

[orchid reef]

but yeah its sakura empire uh, so other stuff keep? just the main gun?

[warm latch]

i dont recognise that aa gun so its probably bad, and musashi wants cl secondary gun not dd gun

[rain vine]

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

[violet grail]

anyone know how much extra event points using one of the mentioned ships like richelieu gives? can they be in the second unused fleet or actually have to be in the fleet that fights?

[violet grail]

nvm, scrolled up and found the answer 😛

[tidal walrus]

Noob here
Is this worth it for dewey meta?

[sweet delta]

Dewey meta isn't worth

The twin 120 in the back would be much better if you must use Dewey

Indianapolis is shit so take it from her no problem

[violet grail]

hi, most of the Meta faction ships are not considered worth using at all. I'm still semi noob myself but i can point you at some guides if you are fairly new.
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

[tidal walrus]

Ah thanks guys

[violet grail]

oh and in general if you are looking at Destroyer (DD) main guns the twin 120 mm main gun mount is usually the recommended purple if you have that.

if not just keep progressing in campaign and opening tech packs for gear, you will get useable stuff soon enough

[tidal walrus]

Oh cool, I don't use much DD but I'll keep that in mind.
Thanks for the tips m8

Who should I give a golden aa gun btw?
Idk who to prioritize

Main fleet or vanguard ?

[violet grail]

depends, if it has any hit bonus give it to a backline ship like your battleship, if not then whoever

anti air guns all combine into one during battle, that dotted circle that shows up when planes start attacking is the range of all your anti air, and its just a combination of all the aa guns

[tidal walrus]

It's a 105mm SK something

[tidal walrus]

Ah yes I know about this

[violet grail]

put it on any vanguard ship

its in the gear guide i linked, start getting familiar with it and ask if anything is confusing

[slender turtle]

Out of curiosity, how much worse is using leo, maggiore, and i404 than using 404 with wolf pack, j would use archer and flasher, but don’t have flasher lol

[sweet delta]

Leo Mag may be equal to or better than 2 wolves

[peak fable]

uhhh, do we farm this event as well??

[sweet delta]

No event is worth skipping for campaign

Farm every event at least somewhat

[tidal walrus]

Ah thanks again
Sorry I didn't see it
Yeah it's a bit confusing when it names some guns as specific ship guns but I think I'm getting used to it

[sweet delta]

You'll get used to it fr, it's better than calling the gun Triple 406mm when there are a dozen such guns in game

[ivory pawn]

Gotta farm a little if you want ship and gold plates. Just using the 5x bonus per day gets us 8,750. Need 11k for plates, so just 15 extra bonus-less runs of SP3.

If you run the 5x bonus with a bonus ship, you’ll get 11,200 instead and thus can only run each event stage once a day to clear.

[peak fable]

that's pretty much the answer I was looking for, thanks!

[vague crown]

Hi I’m a new player that is trying to push to ch9, here is my current fleet. I was wondering if the ones that aren’t fully limit break worth limit breaking/will it help me to farm Ch9. I’m currently on 7-4 and I’m struggling quite a bit

[viscid swift]

pick one of Saratoga or Joffree and replace Lyme

[soft raft]

Where did your Portland go

[viscid swift]

and get a battleship for your fleet

[soft raft]

^
You have zero suicide boat interception in the backline so that's prob one of the reasons why you're struggling

[vague crown]

is Lyme wrose than Portland? I was kind of hoping she can fill in that role and for battle ship is yamshrio good or i should just invest in pennsyvania instead

[warm latch]

lyme is tankier than portland, but being a tempesta ship lyme has no aa so isnt good for later chapters

[soft raft]

Pennsylvania
And idk enough about Lyme but Portland is very cost effective

[warm latch]

also way cheaper to mlb portland than lyme

[soft raft]

Lyme is also heavily restricted in terms of gear options

[vague crown]

ah i see, thats unforuntate

also my laffey is performing way wrose than lyme and helena, am i using her wrong or i just did not invest in enough?

[warm latch]

and lyme needs her skills levelled to be tanky

[soft raft]

Considering that she's 20 levels lower than the other two, you prob just didn't invest enough

Her gear may also be bad

[vague crown]

That’s the gear I’ve got on her

i kinda just shoved the +6s i got from the lvl boost pack thingy on. Probably not the best thing to do lol'

[elfin hollow]

So chat how good is the new U boat augment

[slender turtle]

Ah gotcha, good to know since i like thr design of leo, mag more

[rain bobcat]

how strong is the indep barrage

[sharp comet]

is this for the dorm?

[stark quiver]

yes

Also hi gph what ur gear should i make

[viscid swift]

well there's a gear lab update due next month

[undone plover]

UR sub torp time?

[stark quiver]

Nah

[eternal basalt]

January, no?

[boreal wagon]

based on what they promised last fiasco with CN being upset itll be june/july (idr which one of the 2) and december going forward

[safe nexus]

manjuu/beacon, whats this?

[undone plover]

Aux gear for CV
Found in core shop
Used for timing

[remote nacelle]

What's the best way to level up Affinity/Affection for submarine, assuming I have access to all worlds? Go into earlier stage and unequip vanguard/main fleet and pray?

[opaque galleon]

I think the raid events are pretty efficient for that

[rain vine]

just farm normally and turn on auto summon for the sub fleet

[safe nexus]

is the full name homing beacon?

[undone plover]

Yes

And the other one elite aviation maintenance manjuu or sth like that

[safe nexus]

ty

[undone plover]

Raid events are best since u guarantee a sub call
Normal maps have the issue of sub being out of range
It is not that inefficient just means u take longer time wise

If u can make it so your subs can mvp it would be doubly efficient but not always easy

[remote nacelle]

Any tips on this part? Say, for the ongoing event stages right now

[opaque galleon]

Gimp your vanguard and main fleet to some extent. Subs naturally are pretty good at outputting mvp damage when properly geared if the fight only lasts a short time.

[undone plover]

Pretty much
Having good x fleet so the fight finishes around 20s
Subs should fire before mainfleet
Give your ships bad gear
When I was farming i404 affinity in ch12 I had 0 offensive gear on 5 ships and only hakuhuo had gear for boss node

If u just fight mob nodes with mob fleet it should be pretty easy
As long as u have decent cross fleet

[remote nacelle]

Thank you!

[undone plover]

No worries
Watch the fights and see what u can do about it
Dont be afraid to experiment
U will soon find out if it is worth the min/max or just eat the extra oil cost

[viscid fulcrum]

musashi worth going for now?

[undone plover]

I had LDV + u552 (I think it was her) who also gave 2 extra ocean support (where submarines can join the fight from anywhere even out of range)
But if they are already raised or aff farmed u might want to chuck in 2 other subs since it is otherwise inefficient or just wait for raid
LNY is in 2-3 months and usually a raid event as well as an affinity boosting module/buff usually meaning passive aff can go >100 from secretary
These should rly boost the aff farm

[undone plover]

From perma pity yes
Save cubes for limited content

[viscid fulcrum]

k

[undone plover]

Dont roll perma for her
Just wait for it to slowly accumulate

[grave cove]

Whats the most efficient farm for the event? Best I've found so far is Ranger and Le Terrible (only event ship I have) on SP2

Both lvl 70 no limit breaks

[ivory pawn]

Running each stage once per day with one of the bonus ships in the boss fleet.

Will get you just enough points for the gold plates.

[eternal basalt]

Bonus ships make little difference, they don't get x5

[ivory pawn]

Wait they don’t? Well that’s dumb.

[eternal basalt]

Nope, 800 on SP3, 150x5 +50 bonus

[grave cove]

Does the bonus ship have to fight?

[eternal basalt]

AND survive

[ivory pawn]

Only the boss.

[grave cove]

So dailies would get you 6600?

(30x5+5) + (70x5+15) + (150x5+50)

Not counting today

[ivory pawn]

1250 per day, or 8750 total. 7500 if we ignore today.
With bonus, 1320 per day, 9240 total, 7920 ignoring today.

[grave cove]

Oh yeah sorry. Im used to another game where it says it ends on 11/12, but it actually means 11/11 at midnight so you dont get that day. Also i get 1320 a day how did you get 1250?

er nvm you're not counting the bonus ship

I can't read evidently

[eternal basalt]

(We all can't, we're EN)

[grave cove]

True

[clear harbor]

What are the Valentines thingies?

[sweet delta]

Just an item in the depot and a luv letter in the mail

[pallid tide]

am i missing something by not playing island planner?

[sweet delta]

I believe there are affinity gifts and 1000+ gems but it would take months to get all those gems

[pallid tide]

oh, ok it seems worth it enough

gotta get some dock space B)

[hazy olive]

Is Tashkent any good?

[sweet delta]

Poverty pair for nakhimov or BiS for certain EXs to high score

Aka no, not particularly good in the general content

In fact the upcoming Unzen rerun is one such EX

I should get a level 70-100 unenhanced Tashkent

[grave cove]

Why would you not want to enhance them?

[ivory pawn]

Lower the investment, higher the score.

[grave cove]

Interesting mechanic

[floral thistle]

who to pick for UR exchange? these my URs

[uneven knot]

this event only goes up to sp3?

[soft raft]

May as well get Kronstadt since you literally already have all the other URs in that exchange and it's pointless to raise dupes

[floral thistle]

ye thats what I was thinking... just wanted to be sure, thank you

[whole vault]

Is it true that war archive sorties grant more rewards than the normal event sorties? Or are they basically the same?

[midnight turret]

Is painlevé good?

[cobalt rapids]

they are worse because no event shop or milestones attached

[midnight turret]

Oh who should i choose than?

[cobalt rapids]

choose where

[sleek tulip]

Rerun when? 😭

[cobalt rapids]

in 1 year

byebye 1 mil coins

actually shop is still up
so u should grab teach rn

[midnight turret]

Here are my ur’s/sr’s i only have like 3 ur’s so yeah…

[slow fox]

-# lyme mentioned

[midnight turret]

Who should i switch painlevé with

[cobalt rapids]

level oumi

[midnight turret]

Ok! Thx

[cobalt rapids]

and get helena aswell

[midnight turret]

Oh where can i get her??

[cobalt rapids]

guildshop

[midnight turret]

Oh

She’s currently not in the guildshop but thx a lot

I appreciate your help

Are the tempesta ships good anyway?

[stark quiver]

what happened t 460

[grave cove]

For general campaign is it better to have subs in support or attack mode?

[solemn marlin]

What are Queen Anne and Pearl's special interactions on their skins?

[cobalt rapids]

shes always there
choose her from here

[midnight turret]

Oh

Ty~

[rain bobcat]

anne, I haven't done pearl because im lazy

ill try to get most modern L2D's sorted by december and release my sheet

[sleek tulip]

didn’t know all this exists bruh

[midnight turret]

Me neither

[soft raft]

Tempesta events don't seem to rerun in the proper way

The ships will show up again next year, but the event itself gets archived instead of the typical rerun 2 years later

[midnight turret]

NNN is suddenly a lot harder now that i found out

[grave cove]

If you want the special touch animations touch the first crystal in the string between Pearl's feet and touch Anne's breasts

[sleek tulip]

Does it exist for every L2D Skin???

[cobalt rapids]

both pearl and QAR guides are posted above

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[grave cove]

Where are they posted?

[cobalt rapids]

cn forums/servers

[grave cove]

Could I get a link?

[stark quiver]

yes, lion big damage, and traf has support skills

[cobalt rapids]

https://bbs.nga.cn/read.php?tid=36411181&rand=22 this was a megathread but it stopped getting updated and new guides are on individual posts u gotta browse nga for

[stark quiver]

why is the message from half a year ago

[grave cove]

ty

[rain bobcat]

every l2d skin later than 2023 may

almost always has "some" interaction

[solemn marlin]

Those are simply marvelous! I'm glad I got them both

[grave cove]

Nice work!

[remote yarrow]

-# gph now helps with skin interactions?

[sleek tulip]

That‘s crazy

[astral basin]

just got this from my first T5 tech box, is it good?

[remote yarrow]

Nope

[rain bobcat]

the game's gameplay is segs in the menu+auto battle wdym

[astral basin]

^

[stark quiver]

we were always supposed to, since gameplay isnt supposed to only include pve content
but some assholes decided that being elitist and only helping people with pve minmaxxing is worth this channels time

[sleek tulip]

But only L2D, I think?

[remote yarrow]

I still consider it not completely gameplay related but aight

I don't mind it

[stark quiver]

considering other skins have little to no interactions , yeah

[midnight turret]

Z23 is she good

[stark quiver]

shes good if you are a new player

[stark quiver]

i mean it depends really, pvp is also gameplay, but got exiled, so are other things such as tb, 3ddorm, island, and other stuffs
since this is a help channel and the only channel named help in this server, it would be natural for people to come here for skin help since its a gameplay feature, and again, redirecting them to general where their messages get drowned out or ignored realy doesnt help

[midnight turret]

I am currently lvl 80-ish should i switch her

[stark quiver]

what other ships do you have, like full dock

[knotty jolt]

Depends on what you're gonna switch her with

[midnight turret]

Here’s my full dock

[knotty jolt]

ya could swap her for ryu lion or jeanne maybe, what's the fleet she in look like?

[midnight turret]

Euhmm san fran grenville meta z23 as vanguard
Painlevé dead master and graf zeppelin

As main fleet

[remote yarrow]

Is that your only fleet or do you have another one?

[midnight turret]

I do have another one

Chapajev, belfast and san diego as vanguard
Bismarck zwei, unicorn retrofit, hakuhou as main fleet

[knotty jolt]

ok then so we know which fleet is getting more love

[ripe bluff]

is there gonna be as much skycancer in ch14 as 13

[knotty jolt]

yesn't

[remote yarrow]

There's almost no planes in Ch14

[ripe bluff]

oh huh

[knotty jolt]

planes are still a issue in ch14 but the bigger threat in 14-3 and 14-4 are submarines

[ripe bluff]

oh subs arent that hard to deal with now

[remote yarrow]

Cuz you haven't encountered them yet

[knotty jolt]

They send alot of them tho

like alot alot

2 spawn like every 10ish seconds

[ripe bluff]

how many is a lot a lot

[rain vine]

youre really not gonna like ch 15, by the looks of it

[knotty jolt]

and they move relatively fast to your backline

[ripe bluff]

ah that might be an issue

[midnight turret]

Haha lol i just put random characters in a fleet i used to have black rock shooter and dead master in my fleet with chapajev

[knotty jolt]

eldrige + a ship with a hedghog will take care of it mostly

[ripe bluff]

but like how much planes I wanna see how much I can get away with BBs

[rain vine]

just equip a hedgehog on vanguard OR eldridge and one of the anti sub plane auxes on unicorn

[knotty jolt]

just gotta balance your boss and mob fleet so either one isn't to ASW making the other die to subs

[remote yarrow]

Honestly is just kinda w/e? You can keep using her or swap her for Helena to level her for bossing stuff

Unrelated but please make some space

[midnight turret]

Yeah i was thinking of that too but i like all the ships

[remote yarrow]

And unless you are planning to Fleet Power there's no need to have 6 Pearls retire one of them lol

You can limit break ships with dupes, no need to retire

[midnight turret]

What’s fleet power

[rain vine]

you can maybe make ch 14 work, but thats not gonna fly for ch 15

[remote yarrow]

Something ppl with alot of time and money do

[knotty jolt]

an arbitraury number that people measure

i myself am a fleet power gamer but i do it via one copy of ship

[midnight turret]

Oh yeah this game is p2w…

[remote yarrow]

It's not?

[knotty jolt]

It's literally a meaningless number

[remote yarrow]

That's not fleet power, that's just collecting lol

[midnight turret]

Oh thx i didn’t know

[knotty jolt]

I gear them all out tho even if im not using them

[midnight turret]

So how many copies should i have for each ship?

[remote yarrow]

Still isn't but aight

[knotty jolt]

ideally only 1

More is like whatever and waste of dock space

[midnight turret]

Huh why you need multiple for limit breaks right

[remote yarrow]

If you care to keep them one of each, you can actually retire them after 120 if you have no intent of using them after that

[knotty jolt]

yeah you use the dupes to limit break the one ship till it's maxed then you just stick with that one ship that is now maxed

[midnight turret]

Ok!

[remote yarrow]

Or use bulins

[knotty jolt]

bulins are timed gated quite abit so usethem wisely

[remote yarrow]

But like I said, if you don't/won't care about Fleet Power just use your dupes to limit break

[midnight turret]

Yeah i am actually stock on bulins

[midnight turret]

Okidoki! Thx a lot!

Are the tempesta ships vanguard or main fleet

[knotty jolt]

both

[midnight turret]

Srry for the shitton of wuestions

[knotty jolt]

lyme for example is vanguard while queen anne is main fleet

you can sort by vanguard or mainfleet with tempesta faction tag to check

[remote yarrow]

They also kinda suck

[midnight turret]

Oh

[remote yarrow]

They are mainly "woah cool pirate ships" and that's pretty much it

[spark hazel]

is marseillese good

[midnight turret]

Ohh

I thought they were good lol

[spark hazel]

i just got her im new

[remote yarrow]

She's pretty decent

[knotty jolt]

Saw somewhere that lyme actually has somewhat abnormally high ehp for a frigate so she's somewhat usuable, still not w13+ stuff tho

[midnight turret]

Lol when i started every sr i got was instantly in my fleet now i found out half of my resources are gone

[remote yarrow]

Since you are new I recommend not pulling for her any further, if you got her from Light build, we got an UR rerun next week

[spark hazel]

i got her from daily pulls

[knotty jolt]

then a UR this decemeber iirc

[midnight turret]

I have been told that unicorn is all i needed until w12-13 is she rlly that good

[remote yarrow]

Good, keep doing daily pulls

Unzen is rerunning next week and we got a new UR on December

[spark hazel]

should i use marsei

[ivory linden]

Yup if she is retrofitted

[midnight turret]

Oh i just pull on practically every cool-looking banner

[remote yarrow]

Yeah

[midnight turret]

Stupid me

[knotty jolt]

relatable but also try to use your resources more wisely

Alot of stuff in the game is time gated

[spark hazel]

should i replace sandy then? cause they both cl idk if that works idk

[knotty jolt]

best to make use of your stuff as best as possible

Only till like way later you can do whatever

[remote yarrow]

Depends on what else you are using

[spark hazel]

i use this

[midnight turret]

No san diego is good i think

[remote yarrow]

The latter doesn't matter, you can use any combinations of ships without worrying

[spark hazel]

shes god AA bro

[knotty jolt]

That looks fine as is imo, why not start work on a second fleet

[remote yarrow]

After retro

[spark hazel]

im on 5-1

[remote yarrow]

But you already invested your bulins on Sandy so just keep using her

[midnight turret]

Dw about it use ur fleet as it is make a second fleet with marseille

[spark hazel]

r u new too bro? we r gonna be good friends

[spark hazel]

ill do that when i need a second fleet probably ch9 ive no good bbs

[remote yarrow]

I wouldn't recommend starting a second fleet if my only one looked like that

[midnight turret]

Yeah but idk if we’re gonna be good friends i mean i play league, valorant, bf redsec, warthunder, osu and have 1500 hrs on fortnite

[knotty jolt]

work on that then first then worrying over vanguard slots

[spark hazel]

yes, im going to get alabama soon with medals instead of hood

[midnight turret]

Hood is bad

[remote yarrow]

Why her

[spark hazel]

okay i played valo

[knotty jolt]

Hood is usuable albeit very old and power crept

[spark hazel]

why not she’s hotter

[midnight turret]

I used her and wasted like a lot of resources on her and now i dont wanna disassemble ger

[remote yarrow]

Can we not say X ship is bad when she's not?

[midnight turret]

Oh boy stay away from it

[spark hazel]

is she your flagship

[remote yarrow]

Hood is perfectly usable until W12~13

[midnight turret]

No bismarck zwei is

[spark hazel]

my pc broke now i cant play

[spark hazel]

u have bismarck

[midnight turret]

Aww that’s sad what broke if i may ask

[knotty jolt]

ya can try for nelson retrofit if ya want

[remote yarrow]

If comparing Hood to Zwei makes her bad then 95% of the ships in the game are bad then

[spark hazel]

motherboard

[midnight turret]

I sound like a girl ngl

[knotty jolt]

She's a usuable budget BB

[remote yarrow]

So let's not do that

[spark hazel]

should i not get bama

[midnight turret]

No i just know hood is bad and zwei is better but ur totally right srry for the misunderstanding

[knotty jolt]

Let's compare every ship to lion while we're at it

[stark quiver]

hood isnt even good anyore, her only niche got nuked by alabama or massa i forgot

[rain vine]

alabama is better now because of her augment, which she got recently

[midnight turret]

That’s fixable and pretty cheap i think

[remote yarrow]

It was Alabama but idk where the Hood slander came from

[soft raft]

Hood isn't even "Bad" bad, she just got powercrept yet again

[remote yarrow]

Go ahead and get her

[spark hazel]

im broke im saving for a new build my pc is crazy to last 9 years

[knotty jolt]

Remember the old days when hood was good and the only thing to worry about was monarch people?

[spark hazel]

is that sarcasm? or should i really get her

[knotty jolt]

[rain vine]

yes, you should get her and her augment

[soft raft]

Yes go get her

[remote yarrow]

Get her

[midnight turret]

My cousins pc is already 10+ years old and still uses it so if u have good quality it should be usable for a long time

[spark hazel]

problem is, that pc was a prebuilt

[spark hazel]

soon when i get 80 medals

thanks guys

[midnight turret]

It should be possible to upgrade it

Normally…

[spark hazel]

i would use the okayish parts, probably the ram sticks, but im not using that gpu bro😭

a 1050 ti btw

[midnight turret]

What gpu is it

Oh srry

[knotty jolt]

not to be that kinda person but can we move this chat to offtopic or somewhere else

[remote yarrow]

👉 #al-general #technology #off-topic

[spark hazel]

yes sorry

[midnight turret]

That is old

[midnight turret]

Sorry

[knotty jolt]

[spark hazel]

anyone knows how to get ur gears?

[remote yarrow]

Some UR Events, Research and OpSi

They all take time

[soft raft]

Some are from gear lab
Some are from events
Some are from research
Some are from shops
Some are in both research and gear lab

[remote yarrow]

Oh and Protocore Shop

[midnight turret]

Opsi= operation siren if you didn’t know

I usually et the from those ur grade teh boxes ( idk what they are called)

Tech boxes*

[soft raft]

Those don't drop UR gear
They're guaranteed SR

[spark hazel]

thanks guys and do u guys know who the ur ship will be for next week? and is she worth pulling for as a new player without any UR ship?

[remote yarrow]

You cannot get UR Drops for T5 boxes, just guaranteed Golds

[midnight turret]

Oh whoops my dumbass is rlly in need of help

[soft raft]

Unzen Rerun is soon
Gacha UR always pog

[remote yarrow]

Unzen Rerun, December, we don't know

[spark hazel]

what’s pog?

[midnight turret]

Pog is like very good imo

[soft raft]

A Gen Z term for "Good"

[remote yarrow]

Twitch slang

[midnight turret]

Oh yes i still belong to gen z

[knotty jolt]

Unzen will have a piece of UR gear

[spark hazel]

nicee

[midnight turret]

10k wth i am cooked

Save me dear god

[stark quiver]

grind normally and youll get it

[knotty jolt]

Don't worry it's not that hard

[spark hazel]

no im pretty sure u can get that no?

[remote yarrow]

it's 1/5 of what you normally should grind for

[stark quiver]

like literally just login everday and do dailiesabnd sp

[knotty jolt]

reruns have 3x first clear on hard mode and 5x first clear on normal mode

[remote yarrow]

We recommend getting 55k on events if possible, or at least 30k for the UR bulins on UR events

[soft raft]

You'll have to grind 15k (usually 30k) for the free UR Bullin anyways so you'll get enough

Just grind harder

[knotty jolt]

plus you'll have plenty of build tickets to get the 3x build daily points

[remote yarrow]

Oh right, reruns ask for half

[spark hazel]

yeah its doable men dont worry

[midnight turret]

Uh yeah if i make my ships hate me for letting the fight over and over…

[remote yarrow]

Just put them in dorm

[knotty jolt]

They get decreased stats

[midnight turret]

And their affection drops to zero

[knotty jolt]

isn't it like -50%?

[spark hazel]

just let them rest in dorm

[remote yarrow]

Get 3/4 dorm slots + 2nd floor and you can have a full fleet resting for grinding

[midnight turret]

Oh yeah lol, my dumbass forgot about that

Yeah but i am f2p and crying in 50 gems i soend all my gems on dock expansions so yeah

[knotty jolt]

Then swap out the ships or just play less often

[midnight turret]

And campaign is of limits too bc my fleets suck hard

[midnight turret]

I dont have any other decent ships besides my fleets

Ill send you a screenshot

[spark hazel]

what campaign r you in

[knotty jolt]

you can literally toss whatever together in another fleet and throw it at stage 1

[midnight turret]

Idk like 11??

[spark hazel]

how many days have u been playing bro woah

[midnight turret]

Oh

[midnight turret]

Uhmm not very long 3 months??

Maybe 4

[midnight turret]

There are ppl out there with probably 1000+ ships i have only 190

[remote yarrow]

Well get ready to spend on dock space if you wanna keep collecting ships

[midnight turret]

Anyway gtg was fun talking to you guys

[midnight turret]

I know life’s hard on me but gotta keep pushing through

[remote yarrow]

But I imagine your main problem right now is just holding off to your dupes, if you used them you could probably free up like 20~30 dock space

[remote yarrow]

Also do yourself a favor, set this up and press quick retire

For common ships, use them for enhancing, no need to retire them

[spark hazel]

thanks for this man

[bright tusk]

How much spearfishes needed to craft?

[viscid swift]

need 0, I've got 3 as flexes/curiosity/experimentation

[tidal walrus]

Is it possible to extend the dock size to 800+?

[knotty jolt]

mine is 900

[tidal walrus]

I wanna spend all my gems there
Or whatever they called

[dawn zealot]

yep

[knotty jolt]

there are people here likely with 1k+

[remote yarrow]

Max is 4030 or something

[tidal walrus]

Tf can't imagine how much dat would cost lol

[knotty jolt]

I've spent well over 1.2k on this game so

[viscid swift]

*3030

[tidal walrus]

I wanna "catch em all" one day m8s

[knotty jolt]

gl with that

[viscid swift]

that only requires around 850 dock space at the moment even accounting for extra to deal with overflow

and I got that much just as a free to play

[remote yarrow]

pretty sure I saw Nao with 4000+

[tidal walrus]

Eh I wish I could extend my dock space easier
200 for 10 space sounds ouch

[stark quiver]

you did

[viscid swift]

did they increase the cap recently or something

[stark quiver]

cheeky lives under a rock

[remote yarrow]

Recently as like 3 or 4 months ago

[viscid swift]

huh

[remote yarrow]

[viscid swift]

weird

[remote yarrow]

It's around $200~300 per 1000 dock space iirc

[tidal walrus]

Imma grind dos gems
Ain't payin

Only paid for da pass coz it was worth it

[stark quiver]

idk i just got a irl job to whale

[viscid swift]

it'll take you 4+ years

[remote yarrow]

Well good luck, I said the same and I'm $100 down in 3 years (only on dock space)

[knotty jolt]

It's how the game gets ya tbh, hot characters limited space to hold them

[tidal walrus]

I believe in da free gacha gamer spirit
Always carried me

If it takes time so be it
More fun dis way

[viscid swift]

I mean you can get enough gems as a f2p to do it

the problem is the vast majority it will from anniversery/event prizes that typcially only happen once a year

[knotty jolt]

Wonder who'd win: Free gacha gamer spirit or EOS

[tidal walrus]

Free gacha gamer spirit ftw
Trust the spirit

[viscid swift]

if you actually wanna grind gems, it's so inefficient that you'd literally be better getting an actual job and making minimum wage(and I don't mean in a 1st world country either ) and buying gems with real money

[remote yarrow]

3rd world country citizen here

[tidal walrus]

Eh idk
If I desperately need space
Maybe I'll consider it
But I trust the spirit for now yk
Gives me luck in gacha

Gem Spending 101

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[remote yarrow]

-# Mucho texto

[tidal walrus]

I was tempted to buy the third dorm slot
But I didn't

[viscid swift]

I would

[remote yarrow]

You should

[viscid swift]

massive QofL

[tidal walrus]

You think?
I got saved up so

[remote yarrow]

3+3 allows you to have a full fleet resting

3+3 being 3rd slot + 2nd floor

[tidal walrus]

Aight thanks
Imma get it later

[knotty jolt]

I created a new account and the first thing I'm gonna do is buy the third dorm slot

[tidal walrus]

Second floor?
How much that costs

[remote yarrow]

400

[knotty jolt]

means i can continually farm 1:3 fleet style and just rotate my flagship

[tidal walrus]

Hmm it's fine

[remote yarrow]

It mirrors the slots you got on 1st floor

[tidal walrus]

I usually put the submarines there coz I rarely use em
I'm low level still

[remote yarrow]

So if you eventually get 4th slot on 1st you'll have 8 total and so on, until 12

[lilac sapphire]

Should I keep Dewey in my fleet?

[remote yarrow]

Nope

Probably not Porthsmouth either

[lilac sapphire]

I have Takao and Eugen. Should I put them there?

[remote yarrow]

Also get Unicorn from Guild Shop and replace her for Chen Hai if you don't have her

[remote yarrow]

Probably Takao and get Helena from Guild shop too

[lilac sapphire]

Alright.

[hollow gust]

the fact that z23 is the best ship in that fleet is wild

[haughty skiff]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[lilac sapphire]

I swear I don't have favoritism towards any ship in my fleet, trust.

[haughty skiff]

average ironblood enjoyer

in all seriousness, do just read the beginner's guide; don't waste gold bulins on ships that just aren't worth it. building only / primarily one faction will hinder your overall progress

bismarck & graf aren't good, even moreso for a newbie - but you've already fully invested in graf so you might as well use her

also; ships that aren't max limit broken (MLB) are useless, they deal significantly less of their damage

penny / unicorn / graf , portland / helena / z23

rarity also doesn't mean a ship is good; a lot of rares / purples (elite) are just better then a lot of gold ships whilst being significantly cheaper

[ripe bluff]

what planes to give i404

[haughty skiff]

bearcat from PR7

more info in this video
https://youtu.be/1MhvKc4iZsU?si=nyN37wMpXryRkrAR

[ripe bluff]

k

do I want it on i-13 too?

[haughty skiff]

if she also equips seaplanes and has no requirement on the slot, then sure ig, but she's not a good submarine

[ripe bluff]

hm

[haughty skiff]

archerfish / flasher / i-404 is the best general sub fleet at the moment; there's more info in the video i sent

subs are niche though, you'd only use them in w15 and w14 if you need it

[spark hazel]

i got alabama now, should i invest bulins on her

[haughty skiff]

yeah, she's the best gold bb from the medal selector due to her augment

but you dont need to invest in her until later

[spark hazel]

not for mlb?

[haughty skiff]

assuming you're following the newbie guide ; just dont split bulins between ships and focus on unicorn retrofit

[ripe bluff]

I kinda just use I-13 to buff main fleet damage

but other subs are good to have ig

[haughty skiff]

the recommended starter fleet in the newbie guide will clear most content, alabama without limit breaks won't be better then a mlb penny

[remote yarrow]

Aka MLB her

[spark hazel]

whats with helena why every new player uses her

[haughty skiff]

either mlb her or dont invest in her at all, but she isnt a 'must'
