[sweet delta]

Choose support mode, not attack mode

[primal silo]

what about in secretary?
that's what I'm looking for

[glass quest]

I've once read somewhere that the Twin 40mm would be the way-to-go, is that not like that anymore?

[undone plover]

oh i forgot we can do that
so choose supp and turn off auto call correct?

[sweet delta]

If you mean STAAG, that's just the gold version of twin 76 rainbow. And with 5 lower hit, perhaps the CL gun would be better than STAAG in most cases

[onyx flame]

doesnt have it either

[primal silo]

thanks for taking a look at it

[red sapphire]

Basically, you don't need to call for subs for the x barrage so yes, I think it's that

[grave cove]

I think I just cleared opsi story but im not sure. Are the practice battles infinite?

[undone plover]

idk why i thought in support mode it was always auto call on

[grave cove]

What does that mean?

[undone plover]

i cant rly remember but can u show the big boss in the middle of the map
did u clear it?

[grave cove]

No I havent cleared arbiter. It keeps giving me these enforcer "practice" missions

[undone plover]

i think there is a couple but i rly cant remember sry
wait till someone else chimes in
it should finish at some point and u get the actual arbiter and harbiter

[grave cove]

Gotcha

ty

[sweet delta]

That's chapter 5

[soft raft]

You have to do them before you can access the actual arbiter fight

Iirc there's only three (one for each arbiter)

I forget If enforcers had their own practice fights or not

[grave cove]

Ok ive done 2/3 but its giving me enforcers not arbiters so I'm hoping I dont have to do 5 fights

[sweet delta]

You may need to do more than 5

[grave cove]

How so?

[cobalt robin]

i need 9 more prints for pr8 bb gun, do i go back to pr7 after that or finish gouden first?

[undone plover]

u want 3 of that gun eventually

how many La9 u have? and is your pr7 ships done?

[cobalt robin]

i only have 1 la9 and i have like 70 prints for the pr7 ships since i did gear focus only

and i dont even have anyone from pr7 yet

[undone plover]

finish golden lion and the gun then go back and finish pr7
january will add catchup to pr7 so u will be able to finish the ships faster

[cobalt robin]

what abt meck? do i skip her for now?

[undone plover]

oh I thought u meant golden lion is the last ship left in pr8

[cobalt robin]

nah

[undone plover]

just finish 8 then move to 7
do ship focus till u finish them all tbh
then u can go to gear focus when 7 and 8 are done

[cobalt robin]

shes the first pr8 for me

[cobalt robin]

all of them?

[undone plover]

sure why not
it is more eff to finish a season fully then move to another season

no harm staying gear focus if u really like it tbh but for newer players lacking a lot of URs i prefer ship focus
u can get a lot of nice ships that way

[cobalt robin]

i dont like the other pr8 ships 😔

plus i wanna get kea to dev30

[undone plover]

when ship focus ideally focus DR 2.5h research as a priority
with G research sprinkle and event BP the PR will finish on their own

[undone plover]

then can do meck and lion with 2.5h DR focus

leave the PR to finish with selectors or later
do same thing for PR7 and Kear in 6

[cobalt robin]

alright

also who should i get from pr7?

[plain palm]

anyone else see this bug before

[eternal basalt]

You LDPlayer?

[plain palm]

bluestacks

[eternal basalt]

Could happen there too, though less frequent

[tulip tinsel]

there's your answer, don't use emulators

[cobalt robin]

no issues on mumu

[plain palm]

first time in 3 yrs i seen this on bluestacks haha, all good

[cobalt robin]

@undone plover

[undone plover]

the rainbows

[cobalt robin]

nakhi and who?

[undone plover]

[cobalt robin]

oh napoli

alright thanks

[undone plover]

when I mean get them i mean blueprints

[cobalt robin]

yea i will dev30 them after gouden and meck dev30

[rain bobcat]

finished NJ l2d guide, god there's so many more l2d's to do

ping me if need any l2d guide from hakuhou to black friday event (im working backwards)

[vagrant gale]

what are the interactions to grab NJ ass

[stark quiver]

do all of them ayaya

[robust onyx]

Roll down the window

[rain bobcat]

I am, but my teammates are a bit busy so its gonna take some time

[robust onyx]

Touch her back

[rain bobcat]

New Jersey (NJ) Interactions: Black Blur Prelude

[cobalt robin]

asking the important questions in gph

[rain bobcat]

the actual ass fondling starts at step 4 of pose 2-2

[stark quiver]

[rain bobcat]

all their budget went to NJ

there's basically 4 animations and that fondling thing

[wary saffron]

How do I make Unzen a flying nuke

[viscid swift]

what

[wary saffron]

How do I make her strong

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/
gear her well, max limit break her, level her, and max her skills

among other things

[wary saffron]

K thanks

[rain bobcat]

cheeky

what horrendous combo can you get away with on D3

[viscid swift]

depends a bit on how powerful the elites are but a lot

[rain bobcat]

scylla ranger "a lot" or a bit stronger

[viscid swift]

Apparently this is what I used to use 2 years ago

[viscid swift]

Level 100 Honoka and Fu Shun

[rain bobcat]

oh nah I was talking about 1:1ing it

but maybe I'll 3:3

[viscid swift]

just use any battleship

[rain bobcat]

u reckon UR BB+lb0 cassin lives this

[viscid swift]

in the c maps maybe, D maps hell no

it didn't work with Unicorn

[rain bobcat]

[sweet delta]

How do you 1:1 with unicorn

[rain bobcat]

I don't think that's worth unless you use some lb0 ship

and I highly doubt an lb0 lives d3

[viscid swift]

not on this map but I tried it on other events

[hazy olive]

Think what this calls for is...

...THE MONITOR LINE!

Pepperidge Farms Remembers

[midnight turret]

Should i go for the UR gear in the event shop or the ship?

[hazy olive]

UR Gear

The destroyer is perfectly solid but you don’t really need it from the shop if you build and Unzen gun is great

Besides, I already got the gun in the few hours the event has been up, it’s possible to get everything

[midnight turret]

Ok

[warm latch]

dont buy ship from shop until after event, youll probably drop it or build it before event ends

[midnight turret]

Oh ok should i buy the building tickets then instead of the ship??

[hazy olive]

After the gun and the gold augment pieces

[midnight turret]

Ok! Unrelated but is oumi good

[icy sphinx]

What do they mean about D3?

I don't quite understand

[viscid swift]

they mean the map, in the event

[hazy olive]

YES.

Aside from UR ships, and even then, she’s competitive with the lower end ones, she’s the best BB

Best gold BB by a fair margin IIRC

[icy sphinx]

Oh, I think I did 2 of those, I haven't changed my fleet line-up from that time a lot lol

[midnight turret]

And what about marseille

[icy sphinx]

I don't remember if I did it but I think it was one of those

[icy sphinx]

Maybe I did 3 or 4, I don't remember well

:b

[hazy olive]

It’s okay, I think it’s a tank light cruiser that’s…okay.

[midnight turret]

Oh ok

[hazy olive]

Really, with Oumi and Unzen, you’ll be in a good place.

[midnight turret]

My vanguard is decent anyways but was just wondering

So no hakuhou and bismarck zwei??

[hazy olive]

You want to raise Oumi though gonna put it out there.

[hazy olive]

Well you’ll have to wait for reruns.

[icy sphinx]

My main fleet has Bismarck Zwei, I haven't replaced her

[hazy olive]

Bismarck Zwei is objectively better than Oumi though

[icy sphinx]

I will get Unzen this time, the last time I was busy with studies

[smoky citrus]

Are tempesta ships worth it. I like the look, but I'm running out of space

[hazy olive]

Hakuhou prefers to be in a Sakura focused fleet because it launches an airstrike with every Sakura main fleet strike

[icy sphinx]

Yes, Bismarck Zwei abilities are really usefull

[midnight turret]

Oh ok i was just thinking of what bb i should put in my 2nd fleet

[hazy olive]

As a collectors thing? Yeah. As a fighting thing?

lol

[viscid swift]

worth what

[smoky citrus]

I see

[smoky citrus]

Worth the effort

[midnight turret]

No i meant it in the sense of not using them

[icy sphinx]

I use Bismarck Zwei with only 2 Iron Blood Vanguard ships, the rest are from different

[viscid swift]

again, the effort of what

[hazy olive]

Tempesta ships are very solidly average/below average. The gimmick doesn’t do anything in terms of punching against metas

[smoky citrus]

To build up

[warm latch]

tempesta ships exist to look nice

[icy sphinx]

I use one Tempesta for sub fleet but nothing else

[viscid swift]

not really no, though I'd rather not reqtire unique ships, never know when they may come in handy

[hazy olive]

You want to raise Oumi as a second fleet BB, but you really should be trying to run Hakuhou with a Sakura CV if you’re going with UvH and Hakuhou as a main

Note this does add the risk of no unicorn

[icy sphinx]

Unless the ship is on the normal building pool I don't retire them

[midnight turret]

Oh ok so if my main is like bismarck zwei hakuhou and shinano is that alright while unicorn is in my second with oumi??

[hazy olive]

Hakuhou is her own thing really, but her airstrike weight is so great she can work anywhere. It’s just you really should be putting her in with Sakura ships to get the most out of her

[viscid swift]

I'd rather not retire ships if they're only obtainable from builds, makes it a PIA to reaquire them

[hazy olive]

Yeah that works. There is a very, very thin theoretical point where Oumi might be better and that includes fighting a stationary target, but it’s not worth thinking about too much. Of course, the Oumi-Uni fleet will be mob

[midnight turret]

Ok!

Is san diego retrofit considered a UR??

[hazy olive]

Yes.

[smoky citrus]

I think the devs have a british bias. They are the most eqasily obtianed ships and the bests. My brit fleet is the strognest with lion, unicorn and warspite in the back while tradfalagard and london with yorl/shrtipsire making the van

[midnight turret]

And is she worth it

[viscid swift]

pffft

I swear this playerbase takes factionalism to another level

[icy sphinx]

lol

[smoky citrus]

Pattern recogniton isn't factionislm though?

[hazy olive]

???

[viscid swift]

one day it's the devs are biased towards Iron Blood, the next it's Eagle Union, the day after it's Royal Navy

[warm latch]

lion and traf are just some of the newest URs, powercreep is all it really is

[midnight turret]

It’s bc the royal navy has long dominated naval warfare so they have a lot of iconic ships, germany for example only has the u boats and bismarck-classes for them

[viscid swift]

tell me, how long have you actually been playing

[smoky citrus]

Oh. Oh ok that makes sense

[hazy olive]

Unicorn is good along with Perseus because devs severely underestimated how powerful healers were

[icy sphinx]

Indeed

[smoky citrus]

A couple years, thought this year is the one where I play more than a week at a time

[hazy olive]

That is all. As for Lion and Warspite

every faction has busted BBs

[smoky citrus]

I actaully got the blue stack thing

[hazy olive]

Nobody has ever, ever accused the devs of being biased in favour of the French and they have the Alsace

[icy sphinx]

Yeah, I like Perseus, 2 ready airstrikes that heal every ship

[icy sphinx]

Fr

[viscid swift]

I've been playing since December 2020 almost daily

trust me when I say this, there is no bias, Royal Navy just happened to get latest busted UR, nothing more

I remember times when FDG was best, then NJ, then Musashi, then Bismarck Zwei, then Alsace, etc

[hazy olive]

Nobody is going to claim devs are biased towards Sakura because the Oumi is simultaneously very powerful and easily accessible

The category is silly

[viscid swift]

Oumi is literally event limited, that's the opposite of easily accessible

[icy sphinx]

Bismarck Zwei is my favourite and I haven't stop using her since I got her, she's my first UR

[midnight turret]

Wait till they add gerald r ford

[icy sphinx]

Haven't use her, should I lmb her or should I do that with Z-52 or Trafalgar?

[smoky citrus]

Oh, I wasn't saying bias like a bad thing, I was saying bias like hey, I think they might like the british ships a smidge more. Because in the end of the day, you can just about build any fleet and have it be good with gear and training in the dorms

[candid gale]

Is there a way to level up commanders faster?

[icy sphinx]

Or the UR CV of iron blood?

[viscid swift]

get more commander XP? grind

[hazy olive]

I like the idea that AL devs will do what WeeGee is slowly shifting towards and just slowly going off the rails till they just introduce straight up modern ships for the lulz

[viscid swift]

or if you're below commander level 70 you can buy the level 70 commander pack for 5 bucks

[candid gale]

What is better exp grind, in event or main?

[viscid swift]

more or less the same but grind the event

[candid gale]

Alright thanks

[hazy olive]

Theoretically Archive E.X.s, in practice, whichever works, but events get you good things

For example the best CA HE gun

[viscid swift]

what

the former isn't true at all

[candid gale]

Ahh i see i think i would go grind in event

[hazy olive]

Oil cap.

[midnight turret]

Imagine being shoukaku in campaign doing ur business and then suddenly uss ronald raegen shows up

[viscid swift]

those maps also have fleet type, stat, and average level requirements to match which a new player will struggle to do

[hazy olive]

You’ll get there even if you don’t spend two hours grinding every level like I did, just take a little time,

[viscid swift]

SP5 of Passionate Polaris also has an oil cap but none of those restrictions

[hazy olive]

There’s this piece of advice thrown around which is “save your pulls”, but tbh, I’d suggest pulling a reasonable amount right now, given Unzen is great and Owari is good

[deft kettle]

is this worth it from the event shop

[midnight turret]

New aa guns be like: ciws

[hazy olive]

YES.

[viscid swift]

I wouldn't

[candid gale]

Okay thanks sir

[uneven knot]

use all ur tickets first then do cubes if u really want to

[hazy olive]

Each to their own, but it worked out alright for me

[icy sphinx]

I will get this gun this time

[viscid swift]

for one, the Date a Live Collab drops next week and we've got a new UR event, probably double UR dropping next month

and as good as Unzen is, she is long term a low priority

[hazy olive]

A new player won’t be hurt by having a few decent ships, and the current banner is pretty good

[viscid swift]

they don't exactly need those ships either do they

[hazy olive]

Not saying they should dump all their pulls in (even if it worked for me somehow), but it’s not a bad shout to throw a decent few pulls in, maybe up to 50 combined with tickets. It’s a matter of comfort, really. Each to their own

[smoky citrus]

Enty and jearesy and transsitonal? GUH

[hazy olive]

I simply think that having a few good ships early is worth having the 50 less cubes for the next event, because it makes life so much easier. Certainly did when I got Oumi.

[icy sphinx]

Should I limit break Alsace, Fritz Rumey, Z-52 or Trafalgar?

[smoky citrus]

Everyone keeps about oumi. Is she really that good? Haven't used her yet but it seems like i'm sleeping on her

[viscid swift]

it would literally just be oumi, Unzen would be useless because a new player can't max limit break her and it's not like we don't have solid BBs that are permantly available

[uneven knot]

oumi is goated

[hazy olive]

Best gold BB, matches New Jersey sporadically, it’s good.

[smoky citrus]

huh, neat

[viscid swift]

what other URs have you got, how any bullins can you get

[icy sphinx]

I have to check if I have her

[viscid swift]

she can match NJ though there's a number of conditions that need to be met

namely the bosses position

[hazy olive]

I still think having an Owari instead of a Pennsylvania is hardly a loss

But the gun is absolutely worth grinding for

[viscid swift]

let me put it like this, Owari and Oumi will both return at some point in the future guranteed,

The Date a Live characters may never return

[hazy olive]

Alright can we at least agree that they need to grind for the gun

[viscid swift]

did I say that they shouldn't grind the event?

[hazy olive]

Just trying to reach common ground!

[smoky citrus]

This is my north fleet now. How do i improve? I'm trying to get the research ship. Yes I know shinano isn't the faction but i'm trying get levels for her

[viscid swift]

are you in chapter 12 yet?

[smoky citrus]

no

[viscid swift]

I'd reccomend getting there first before you really dive down the faction fleet rabit hole

besides you really don't have much to work with here

[smoky citrus]

ah i see

[sweet delta]

A new player also doesn't need the northern research ship

[median prism]

Ive got 5 UR bulins who to max limitbreak

[sweet delta]

Show your maxed rainbows too next time, but according to my investigation into your history, you can max Hakuhou now

[median prism]

Alr

Tbf my only maxed rainbow is san diego which is retrofit

[candid gale]

Guys am i correct to pick her?

[sweet delta]

Considering that she's probably the only one you can start, and the recommended new player vanguard ships are mostly eagle union, that is the correct choice

[median prism]

Shld she replace centaur, enterprise or volga

[sweet delta]

Level up your ships to 120

We also have no idea what your fleets are and what they're for

[candid gale]

Ahh i see ,i forget why i pick her lol, thanks

[median prism]

They dont have a particular role per se

[toxic tartan]

I wanna ask for fleet tips but I always get told its good enough to get me through most the game but ill ask anyways.

[viscid swift]

well what are you looking to use these fleets for exactly

also 0/10 for not using Unicorn

or any healer for that matter....

[toxic tartan]

story

[viscid swift]

where are you in the main campaign currently

[toxic tartan]

12-4

[viscid swift]

yeah those fleets are dead in W13

[toxic tartan]

rip

[viscid swift]

like I said earlier, at bare minimum you need to add Unicorn retrofit to your mob fleet to get a healer in there

you also need better AA ships as a whole

[toxic tartan]

ill make a 4th fleet just for story fr

[viscid swift]

W13 isn't that difficult,
W14 and W15 though the requiremnets do a get lot more stringent

you also need good gear

the fleets would look something like
Mob: Fritz, [CV], Unicorn, tank, dps, dps/AA carruy
Boss: Bismarck Zwei, Yorktown 2, Warspite, tank, [AA carry/support/dps], [dps/aa carry]

for W13

[toxic tartan]

got it

[toxic tartan]

Aye aye

[flat fractal]

How do I go about farming these events, do I just do A and B and then skip to D for T6? Or can I unlock D from clearing C

[viscid swift]

older events you need to clear the C maps to get access to the D maps

[onyx flame]

i low cost a/b for the 3 star rewards then run as low cost as i can for c/d just to get access

[sweet delta]

I do ABCD and SP every day

[onyx flame]

a/b is x5 and c/d is x3 for daily bonus right? wanna math out how much i get from dailies and how much d3 grinding i need if at all

[spark patio]

best stage to farm is D6?

[stark quiver]

no, D3 is

[spark patio]

ah mb

[onyx flame]

if my math isnt wrong
1650 from daily normal, 2250 from daily hard and 800 from sp means 4700 a day
so 28,200 points from just doing dailies for the rest of the event minus day 1
neat no need to grind d3

[forest palm]

I'd still rather recommend grinding D Stages if the individual is sub world 9

but ya you can earn enough to manage the milestones, but it may not cover what you need from the store

[cobalt robin]

how many free tickets can we get in total?

[forest palm]

like 45~

[cobalt robin]

hope i get unzen with the tickets 😔

[flat fractal]

is the event in general worth farming outside of the shop?

[ivory pawn]

There's the milestones, but otherwise nope. Same goes for like 99% of events tbh.

Once you get the last gold plates from the milestones, and whatever you want/need out of the shop, go straight back to w12.

[soft raft]

UR Bullin at 15k event points
C3 and D3 have decent SR Gear on paper but farming for gear isnt really worth it if it aint event exclusive like the Hellcat HVAR from Yorktown II's event

[flat fractal]

Aight gotcha, yea i normally just spam D3 until i get the important items from the shop/milestones and go back to 12-4

[sweet delta]

Who is D3 gold ship

[onyx flame]

Hatsuzuki

[viscid fulcrum]

How can i get like 40 gems rn

[sweet delta]

she released only a month before w15

[soft raft]

why specificially 40?

[viscid fulcrum]

cuz im 40 short

[soft raft]

of getting what bruh 💀

[onyx flame]

3 star a campaign stage ig if your not swiping

[viscid fulcrum]

dont worrrry about it

[viscid swift]

what do you think blaster, a skin of some sort probably

[rapid summit]

How much bp for Hindenburg?

[onyx flame]

To dev 30? 513

[soft raft]

/devbp

[odd root]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/460648604974055424/885529968455598170/unknown.png

[soft raft]

all research ships within a rarity have the same amount of BPs needed

[wanton dagger]

Hi guys, how to grind for coins? I'm trying to get unzen but i'm lacking in coins

[viscid swift]

just grinding really

[sweet delta]

Chapter 12 or event D3

[stark quiver]

how to grind for coins
you grind it

[fiery swan]

how much better does indepkai get with aug

[rain bobcat]

[spark scaffold]

How to manage oneshotting this mf? She keeps nullifying and then barrier herself

[sweet delta]

Welcome to the hardest hard arbiter of the year

[spark scaffold]

Last month's hard mode wasn't this annoying, 2 fleeting is enough

[sweet delta]

Avoid the 20s barrier

[spark scaffold]

even if i could timing it, my vanguard died

[sweet delta]

Use any combination of these BB guns with AFCT or HSFCR, they avoid the 20s barrier and can get 3 salvos or almost 3 salvos before the big dome appears

[spark scaffold]

Is Alsace and Lion a must?

[stark quiver]

itll be much harder without

[sweet delta]

Im showing the BB guns, not the BBs

People killed November harbiter years before Alsace and Lion were introduced anyways

[spark scaffold]

Ah yeah that makes sense 🗿

Well i haven't been that strict about playing Opsi so i dunno about this is it always the November Arby that's hardest?

[rain bobcat]

yes

because it melts vanguards (main issue)

[noble pawn]

what's the best floatplane for SSV? Bearcat or Seiran?

[sweet delta]

The red text

[noble pawn]

Nice

[tidal walrus]

To use owari's 2nd skill properly u gotta have kii as flagship right?

[crystal flume]

🤔 between bayard and shimanto who should i max fate? with that paper thingy

[sweet delta]

There's nothing about Kii

[sweet delta]

Shimanto is better for campaign chapter 13+, Bayard is better for outside of campaign

[crystal flume]

thank you

[rapid shard]

Paper thingy?

[static sphinx]

Does someone know the priority for the event shop items?

[crystal flume]

these thing

[sweet delta]

I know the priority is

1. Rainbow Gun (rainbow/gold gear first, same as all events)
2. Build tickets
3. Save 8000 for Hatsuzuki if she didn't drop from B3 D3 SP
4. Stuff

[static sphinx]

Thanks

[stark quiver]

is zwei meck lion better than lion zwei alsace
and what should firing order be, for arbiter

[plush path]

You can’t use those on shimanto or bayard. You can use yellow ones though.

[rain bobcat]

math says alsace beats by around 5-10% on light, loses in med heavy

firing order is meck and zwei firing one after another

[stark quiver]

[rain bobcat]

basically just have to jam to make bis and meck tight

[rapid shard]

Im 4 cubes away from Musashi and gonna get her in a few from Pity. I can buy enough bulins to MLB her or Unzen right now and will have enough for Dec UR as well. Who would be better to MLB? Currently 14-4 campaign

[rain bobcat]

sashi would probably erase ur w14 problems

though I guess unzen has a similar effect

[rapid shard]

Im 50/50 between them lol thats why im looking for advice

[uneven knot]

anyone have that pic with the coinup prices

[rain bobcat]

i mean I would do sashi first because ur lacking a triple BB comp

[rapid shard]

Oumi is my third for triple BB comp with NJ and Spoot right now. Im assuming Sashi would be a big upgrade to that setup?

[fluid brook]

which website is this?

[limber tundra]

Hi im trying to finish D3 of the event but i never really learned the game so idk what team to build or ship to up could someone help me with it

[crystal flume]

ikr I'm just lazy to search one

[stark quiver]

save if you dont need
musashi might take big dmg bc of her skill without a secondary healer

[rain bobcat]

his problem is that he's dying to 14-4 boss and probably, either unzen or musashi would help\

[viscid swift]

D3 isn't that difficult, what have you got to work with?

[limber tundra]

If i put the Advice team i got this

but i got some ships that are just not lvled up yet i can send them

[viscid swift]

Ah the most useless feature in the game

[limber tundra]

oh :' (

[viscid swift]

Yeah just post your dock in a thread

[limber tundra]

My Dock

i think i made it?

[silk helm]

island planner?

[rapid shard]

Musashi has more uses than Unzen right? From what ive seen others say her main use is bossing for mainly torp dmg against heavy

[viscid swift]

More or less

[whole crypt]

Musashi should be more generically useful but it's always a Depends™ especially when they don't occupy the same slot

[stark quiver]

unzen is pure dps

[rain bobcat]

unzen is just portland with 500x the damage

[rain bobcat]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator

[rapid shard]

Well im pulling for Owari mainly so may end up with a free MLB unzen in the process like Hakuhous event went for me.

[stark quiver]

[rain bobcat]

pushing his luck

[rapid shard]

Oumi caused bankruptcy but was worth lol with Musashi is the 410Kai enough or does she really need the daisen gun?

[viscid swift]

410 Kai is good enough

[tidal walrus]

Is owari a good flagship?

[stark quiver]

yeah

[tidal walrus]

I'm brainstorming positions

[wind hazel]

daily+SP enough to get everything important?

[viscid swift]

it gets you 41k so yeah

[wind hazel]

umazing

[viscid swift]

umastare

[undone stag]

hi can i check for this event rerun whats the best stage to farm?

[wind hazel]

low cost b3 or full fleet d3

[undone stag]

alright ty

[rain bobcat]

you dont really need to "farm"

[wind hazel]

or dont farm and just do daily

[rain bobcat]

doing 1x A B C D daily+3 star reward is enough

dailies alone from next reset til last reset is 23k points

so if you get 10k from somewhere you prob only need like 10 D3 runs total

probably closer to 26k points accounting for daily missions

[undone stag]

kk ty

[weak elk]

is the rainbow gun in event exchange good and who is it good for?

[errant jacinth]

hiii I started the game like yesterday & I'm getting cooked on the main campain, how exactly do I craft gear for my ships? I only see like two options and they're both greyed out

[fluid brook]

Best HE Gun for CA

[weak elk]

crafting is kinda hard you can try daily raid or just leveling up ur ship, you generally want to find gear boxes and use it in depot

[errant jacinth]

oh so just lvl my ships as high as possible for now?

also where can I get more exp data packs from? I assume from daily raids, but I don't see them there

[fluid brook]

if you mean the books, you need Academy for that, and need to grind with ships above or equal to lvl 100 for it to accumulate exp

[weak elk]

exp data packs drops from lecture hall only i believe but you can just fight in previously fought maps for exp

[errant jacinth]

also for the event banners, if I don't get the rate up within the 200 builds, does my progress carry over?

[weak elk]

uh no, the 200 allow u to exchange for the ur ship, but for event its limited time

[errant jacinth]

oh so I should only pull if I have 200ish to guarentee I get the rate up?

[weak elk]

even if u get the UR u can still exchange for it if u reach 200

[errant jacinth]

okk gotcha, is it reasonable to expect getting the rate up before 200?

[weak elk]

unless u are super unlucky u could get most of em

[wispy cosmos]

are there any secrets missing from wiki page other than the latest hindsashiz52fancy

[wind hazel]

pearl

and zeven

[fluid brook]

[wispy cosmos]

i mean the asmr not the sec quests

[weak elk]

there is asmr????

WHERE?

[viscid swift]

they're called secrets in game

[weak elk]

is it the secret!?!? fukkkkkkkkkk i wanntt itttttt how do i get the tickets

[fair lance]

It's in the monthly daily login

[weak elk]

3 months....

[viscid swift]

you can also buy them with gems

[stark quiver]

just play more

[ivory pawn]

Alternatively, 💳 .

[weak elk]

[viscid swift]

thee's also a couple of free al ASMRs on LD site

[weak elk]

oh so thats why they have headphone symbols...

[viscid swift]

I reccomend Mogador's

[stark quiver]

bro

[errant jacinth]

ok wait, rn should I just spend my oil/fuel and just farm the story missions?
just do the highest lvl ones I can?

[weak elk]

depends how strong is ur ship rn? it might be better to grind the event for gear

[errant jacinth]

does this mean anything? I don’t know enough lol

[weak elk]

okay i see u are new new

[fair lance]

I wouldn't farm this event for any gear besides the shop weapon

[tulip tinsel]

Try to grind the event stages, it's better than campaign

[viscid swift]

read that, use Owari instead of Penn
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[weak elk]

this best guide rn since ur resources are low

[errant jacinth]

yeah I started yesterday lol :D

[true lichen]

Whats good to buy besides the ur weapon?

I have been buying oil for xp

[weak elk]

augment module, cog arry and building support

[viscid swift]

cog chips

[true lichen]

thank you 🙂

[slender turtle]

Whats the best 1:1 set up for these normal mode stages of the events?

[viscid swift]

the usual

[sweet delta]

I used 4 oil ranger cassin from A1 to B2 and 6 oil for B3, all lethal

[viscid swift]

what are you even using for 6 oil

[sweet delta]

Ranger Cassin z20 downs

[viscid swift]

I see

unfortunately my Z20 is already level 120

[sweet delta]

Mine is too

[slender turtle]

🫡 ive been lazy on getting the usual low oil fleet set, guess ill go get it done, feels a bit rough to use uni/z52 on level 20 stages lol

[sweet delta]

Then use level 1 common cvl

Is 122 oil D3 any good?

[sharp socket]

how does low oil work, is it just backline never dying because no suicide boats in the stage

and frontline being able to kill despite 0lb

also what kind of clear times are you looking at with low oil vs d3 oilcap

[whole crypt]

what's that with

[sweet delta]

0lb low oil just waits for crossfleets so Soyuz is after 20s every battle

Chise bulin is 122 oil

[sharp socket]

what if it finds its way to a 3* BB node

[whole crypt]

why Chise

[sweet delta]

CV or BB lock

[whole crypt]

Aquila?

[sweet delta]

They were 95% HP after boss so idk

Chise la9 tenrai spear wiped all elites in preload, waited for crossfleet for other mobs, and killed boss in crossfleet and first non preload

My Aquila is on babysitting duty

[whole crypt]

that's why I have a second Aquila

[sweet delta]

It appears that chise 0lbDownes for 108 oil does not clear preboss well enough

[whole crypt]

lv advantage and fleet tech I guess

[sweet delta]

I forgot to bring 404

[whole crypt]

I forgot she exists

yeh Aquila should work too

probably not getting any cheaper

[sweet delta]

Just play CN

[whole crypt]

I stopped bothering

what does 404 cross fleet do again, hit buff?

[rain bobcat]

just lb0 downes cassin then? doesn't bulin cost 2 anyway

though ig it would be redundant since bulin already clears

anywa I gave up, I did calculations and saw that I can get 35k with just dailies after a 12k day 1

good enough

[whole crypt]

bulins are 3 let me see where double mahans get me

[sweet delta]

I did a 108 but it needs chise preload to not be unlucky

[whole crypt]

rng = bad

dual mahans die in boss fight

[hoary relic]

is unzen usable for meta bosses?

[whole crypt]

depends on the boss

she was in a few kill comps, particularly against heavy

[rain bobcat]

1 year ago lol

[sweet delta]

Unless they release , Unzen 's standing will only get worse and worse

[whole crypt]

could always do it through some convoluted mechanic with a META

[rapid shard]

Other than main gun does Musashi need any other specific gear? (Ignore Aux gun its just a placeholder while leveling)

[soft raft]

No not really

[weak elk]

any ship that releases a barrage similar to anubis or terror?

[soft raft]

wdym by that
cuz there are an absolute shit ton of barrages in this game, nearly every ship has one one way or another

[whole crypt]

you mean Erebus, and yes there's Abercrombie but monitors are shit

[weak elk]

like straight line arrow that just blankets the screen

[sweet delta]

Nagato

Volga with beacon bishamaru works but is of course much slower due to no preload

[weak elk]

oh that works

[whole crypt]

I'll just stick with preloadAq

[rapid summit]

Does the Sp in the event have a requirement to join?

[weak elk]

honestly i just wanted to fill the gap left behind when u only run erubus and terror,... 2/3 of the map is giving an itch i cant scratch

[soft raft]

If you're talking about Anthem of Remembrance, there is no SP like there is for normal sized events

[sweet delta]

What about the itch when they don't proc their barrages

[weak elk]

[rapid summit]

I mean for the unzen event because the event mission say there’s a mission for clearing the sp but I want to know if there is a requirement for joining

[rain bobcat]

[soft raft]

Wdym by joining? As in commander/ship level requirement?

[rapid summit]

These things

[whole crypt]

If you want a barrage like that but procs consistently then maybe Izumo with aug?

[rain bobcat]

avg lvl >110

[soft raft]

Your ship level average has to be higher than 110
no stat requirements

[whole crypt]

or pretty much just any BB with a wide barrage that's 100%

[rapid summit]

That’s all no random trp requirement or fp requirement?

[soft raft]

Yop

[whole crypt]

SP never has stat reqs but level req is higher than D3

[hoary relic]

[rapid summit]

Okk ty

[hoary relic]

collab after unzen rerun then another UR banner in Dec?

[whole crypt]

something like that, may be a week or 2 of downtime before new UR but no idea if there's any minor events or rerun that'll fit in there yet

[hoary relic]

anyways, when will pr7 blanks in medal shop replaced by pr8?

[weak elk]

i put 3 ship with quick takeoff in one team i do not care for consistency XD, just pure joy

[wispy beacon]

||~~At this point, y not just create a game (which is an extension of AL) so that players can "dynamically interact" with their L2D skin; and upload that game of steam? ~~||

[hoary relic]

no wonder why AL is 17+ rn

im curious what would skins be if the game is 18+

[wispy beacon]

that's my "suggestion" on how you can make a seperate mod for 18+, and still keep the main game 17+

[weak elk]

it would just be skins

[wispy beacon]

post it as a game on steam

[wispy beacon]

no, more than just skins

[hoary relic]

some new "features"

[wispy beacon]

in that game mod, u can buy each "interactive skins" for each girl with a price of a random skin pack ($30)

but u get nothing but that skin and the "interaction" alone

no more "add ons"

[hoary relic]

no seggs?

[wispy beacon]

I'm trying to directly use that term

[hoary relic]

[viscid swift]

And also rather irrelevant for this channel

[hoary relic]

back to my question:

[viscid swift]

I dunno, some time next year

[wispy beacon]

next June

[hoary relic]

dawg

[weak elk]

should one just skip to hard mode or finish normal mode

[hoary relic]

just do hard mode

normal mode is a waste of time and oil.............

[viscid swift]

I'd do normal node

X5 multiplier for your first clear of the day is quite profitable

[wispy beacon]

Do this for hard

and minimal fleet for everything else

[hoary relic]

why not unicorn?

[wispy beacon]

Maximize the benefit while minizing the cost

[wispy beacon]

trying to farm for xp at any chance I got

[hoary relic]

no spare xp books to use?

[wispy beacon]

118 vanguard is strong enough to stand on its own

[wispy beacon]

I do, but that is reserve for new UR

[hoary relic]

[wispy beacon]

once I got the new UR, she will immidiately went up to lv 120

[hoary relic]

me, who just gonna chill and get my URs lv by lv by sorting

cuz im lacking of books rn

[viscid swift]

Xp books are hardly enough to keep up with demand

[hoary relic]

trying to get max rld

[wispy beacon]

what kind of sort do you need to do?

Do u mean sortying?

[viscid swift]

Especially when you're short on cog chips

[hoary relic]

idk why i have never been in that situation lol

waiting for little NJ

[viscid swift]

You don't grind enough, simple

[wispy beacon]

Just 105 every girls that don't give you the stats that matter, and 120 for the ones that do

2 mil xp on that girl, then switch

[rain bobcat]

the only 2 situations where you would have many cogs is if you either don't grind at all, or have been playing since 2019

[viscid swift]

Why would I bother uncapping a ship at all if they give no useful tech

[hoary relic]

imm grinding lv for my girls to lv120 for extra stat lol

[viscid swift]

And besides I do, the end result is I have over 70 ships banked with enough xp to get to level 120 but no chips to uncap them

[wispy beacon]

But I do, and I didn't play since 2019

[rain bobcat]

[hoary relic]

[viscid swift]

You're also not even done maxing all the useful tech yet

[forest palm]

3.7k Arrays....

[wispy beacon]

yup, a long, long way to go

[rain bobcat]

dont have many 125, only meta

[robust mason]

Which UR should I MLB next?

[forest palm]

Failure

[warped acorn]

chat shall I go for hard mode instead or do normal first for the event

[rain bobcat]

do both but only 3 star normal

abcd daily clear is the way to maximise points without running out of oil

[noble pawn]

isn't this basically Koikatsu

[hoary relic]

give meh some array eh

[viscid swift]

Meh

[hoary relic]

[viscid swift]

Not much to use arrays on these days

[forest palm]

I just want more main fleet ships to raise

[hoary relic]

🥀 i do need arrays

[noble pawn]

prehistoric man showing off

[wispy beacon]

unless they release lv 130 cap

[viscid swift]

Hardly, I'm a zoomer compared to some

[rain bobcat]

i mean me having 4k arrays is actually quite impressive

given the fact that I dont buy arrays in core and event shops at all since the beginning

[forest palm]

Nothing praise worthy about that....

[wispy beacon]

same

[hoary relic]

but i do....

just recently not from the beginning

[stark quiver]

bro i need to reclear stages for points and tickets?

[rain bobcat]

I just dont have a reason to 125 a lot of ships

[noble pawn]

yes can get points

[rain bobcat]

clear once iirc or something

anyway like I said if you dont want to 'waste" oil doing d3 you can simply do abcd sp daily

[stark quiver]

thats a lot of work

[rain bobcat]

not rly you just auto search 7 maps daily

not much unless you play only mobile

[weak elk]

is 71 oil too much for a mob fleet?

[rain bobcat]

oil cap exists

cost does not matter

[hoary relic]

not at all, u will get oil cap after clearing the stage

[robust mason]

I play mobile
my phone feels like a hot iron rod after Autoing for a while 😭

[hoary relic]

isnt this normal lol?

[noble pawn]

buy cooling fan for your phone bro

[weak elk]

put ice on it /j

[viscid swift]

Honestly yes

[robust mason]

I hope 😭

[wispy beacon]

should be less than 20

[viscid swift]

If you've gotten ships leveled Unicorn and a decent vanguard is the max you need to clear event maps

[robust mason]

Bruh I’m running 74 for mob

Currently capped oil but that’s besides the case

[weak elk]

Ehh....

[wispy beacon]

think about the generic oil economy

[noble pawn]

do you really need to run 3 main 3 vanguard?

[viscid swift]

You're just wasting oil running a full fleet before the oil cap comes into play

[noble pawn]

I think Unicorn and two vanguard should be okay

[wispy beacon]

instead of clearing once, you can clear almost 5 if u ran a 15 oil comp

[wispy beacon]

or uni and 1 lv 110+ vanguard

[robust mason]

oh wait
mob fleets aren’t meant to be full of my waifus?

damn

[viscid swift]

What

[wispy beacon]

do you need help?

[noble pawn]

you can rotate your waifu if morale goes lower

[robust mason]

I hope not. 😭

[weak elk]

Better?

[robust mason]

Morale is always max for them 😆
They chilling in dorms

[rain bobcat]

why run normal biscuit

[hoary relic]

cuz he doesnt have biscuit zwei?

[wispy beacon]

If u really think about the oil economy; u can get this much points for only 8k oils, while maximizing the grind on what really mattered

[robust mason]

biscuit zwei worth the mlb?

[noble pawn]

very

[hoary relic]

yes for sure

[robust mason]

oh damn
I have her just backlogged

[hoary relic]

🙏🏿

[robust mason]

Musashi?

[hoary relic]

if u need a mobbing ship for w14 and w15

[wispy beacon]

yes, cross barrage is good for saving oil

[weak elk]

i dont got zwei biscuit

[viscid swift]

I dunno what you have or how many bullins you have

[robust mason]

bruh why ain’t I know this 😭

[viscid swift]

I prefer to put cross fleets in the other fleet but sure

[weak elk]

cross fleet?

[noble pawn]

you play with fleet you select to fight
other fleet you don't select will help

[wispy beacon]

Now u know. This is what I ran (getting some AVI is really nice, help finishing fights much faster with dmg buff)

[noble pawn]

Shiny fleet

[wispy beacon]

even sub gave cross

[noble pawn]

Damn i-19 is peak design

[wispy beacon]

2 avi sub could give u just a bit more oompf in shooting down aircrafts

[robust mason]

A whole lotta shiny

[safe nexus]

the gear from the event shop, who is it for?

[wispy beacon]

Unzen

[viscid swift]

You decide what gear to use based on content not ships

[wispy beacon]

Unzen does give u a nice buff if u use the 203 HE UR

so takes that into consideration as well

[viscid swift]

You would also never want to use Unzen against light armor unless you had nothing bettet

[wispy beacon]

yeah, but Unzen gave u good cross, and clear bosses faster in farming scenario where there is an oil cap

save morale too

[viscid swift]

how is that relevant to her being poor against light armor

[safe nexus]

ok ty

should i get noshiro from medal shop?

[viscid swift]

No

[fallow cape]

DR ship has the feature that i can make multi skin of one ship as secretary, does normal ship have it?

[viscid swift]

No

PRs only have it because you can't get dupes of them

[fallow cape]

:((((((((((((((( then i have to wait multi year tho

[rain bobcat]

easy just pull dupes

[fallow cape]

ah never mind i just realize i have ticket for shinano in storage xd. ty guys ily

[robust mason]

Quick question
Am I allowed to send my fleet and ask for directives on who to swap/keep?

[viscid swift]

Yes, that's what this channel is for

[robust mason]

Should I make a thread?

[viscid swift]

Though it would be wise to post your dock and tell us the content you're tackling

Yes

[robust mason]

I’m not having any issues atm
Just wanna adjust it now before I cross over to a wall

Like hard-mode w10 got me stuck once but that’s all

Fleet assistance

[tired grotto]

I don't know which ur up between shinano new jersey and unzen

[viscid swift]

Are those all of your URs?

Either way I wouldn't use any UR bullins until you can max limit break a ship in one go

[weary edge]

should i research izumo or ibuki

im just looking for an ijn pr1 to develop rn

[wispy beacon]

izumo for +2fp

[rain bobcat]

ibuki since monarch is better than izumo

[safe nexus]

is asanagi good at all?

[weary edge]

also does owari’s 25% chance boost count if owari herself is flagship

[rain bobcat]

yes

[safe nexus]

Is there any dd ship I have that I should build? Since I'm forced to use dd for d3

[wind hazel]

no, just tech ship. maybe raise z1 to help with shipyard grind, or shigure javelin etc

[safe nexus]

ok ty

[pearl quarry]

What ship do I replace Unzen with?

[wind hazel]

if unzen not mlb, nobody

if she is, then put her on 2nd fleet

[pearl quarry]

Ok

[rapid summit]

Everytime I do a sortie I get a story, do I have to unlock all story’s before being able to do 3 sorties without getting interrupted?

[muted wind]

since this is a rerun of an event that still had the old format, yeah, kinda

[rapid summit]

Aight ty

[safe nexus]

what order of PR ship do i target again?

[wind hazel]

louis/roon>filler>fdg/anchorage>agir>pr4 except MP>plymouth>shimanto>the rest

[tired grotto]

I have one free copy of shinano or new jersey through the handbook and I got 2 unzen with the free pulls

[wind hazel]

your zwei is 0LB, she should get priority if those are all your UR

[rose whale]

between B and G research, which one is better? not consider the coin cost or clearing map requirement

[wind hazel]

g

you may find this handy

[rose whale]

thanks

[safe nexus]

ty

[ashen berry]

how should i be levelling ships if i want to get them from 0 to 100 or 120 quickly? do i use the books to get them to a certain level and then farm, or something else?

[wind hazel]

exp books to lv80~100, grind the rest

[ashen berry]

thanks

[unreal ember]

How are these for main fleets? (Screenshots of other ships i have in case one would be better than one i have in a fleet)

[weary gust]

Fleets are purpose built. There are no "general" fleets. So what are those two fleets for? It looks to me like you just threw random ships together.

[knotty jolt]

looks possibily like chapter clearing

[unreal ember]

they're for the main chapters

[knotty jolt]

they look generaly fine to me tho i will admit azuma is an old ship idk how well she'd fair in higher worlds

[unreal ember]

i'm planning to replace her with unzen if i get her

[rain bobcat]

are we ignoring the fact that there's no healer

[knotty jolt]

Ok we got a problem with that as in terms of tankiness im pretty sure azuma is better for that

[weary gust]

Anything works till w12. W13 requires basic AA fleet comp. W14 and W15 are two totally different beasts. Those fleets are not good for anything above w13 and they're not well built for even that.

[knotty jolt]

i am blind

[unreal ember]

what would be a better ship to use there instead of azuma then

[knotty jolt]

I see you got guam so her i guess

[unreal ember]

i don't really have good healers to my knowledge

[knotty jolt]

but ya like ayaya says you need unicorn or aquila and the like

[unreal ember]

alr

[knotty jolt]

in higher chapters ya can do no healers but only if you're lucky

hope you dodge everything

[weary gust]

Also, any of your ships that aren't MLB, are not functional ships.

[unreal ember]

i've been putting the high preformance hydraulic steering gear on all my ships

[rapid shard]

Retro Unicorn will cover all your healing needs for 99.9% of all content

[unreal ember]

mlb?

[rapid shard]

Max limit broken

[knotty jolt]

max limit break

[weary gust]

Rumey, Lion, Z52, Musashi are NOT ready to sortie.

Neither is Shimanto

[unreal ember]

right

[knotty jolt]

what chapter we even considering of tackling?

[unreal ember]

yeah i got an influx of URs with not enough bullins

[unreal ember]

i'm up to chapter 13

[knotty jolt]

ye im pretty sure guam would be better then azuma for that then

[unreal ember]

alright

[knotty jolt]

but considerin the work your other ships need that's the least of your worries

[weary gust]

Not at level 65 and missing a limit break.

[unreal ember]

i have enough exp packs to increase her up

the limit break is just a limitation till i have the bullins i need

[weary gust]

The UR bulins are the biggest limiting factor, you're pretty time gated on them.
In short you're nowhere near ready to use most of your URs, and we need to go through which ones you should limit break in each order. You don't want to split bulins between them, mlb one ship at a time.

[knotty jolt]

At this point im curious on what the ships are even geared with

[unreal ember]

yeah i have been limit breaking them when i have the bullins to do it, there's just not enough ways to get the bullins

[unreal ember]

i can send them to you

[knotty jolt]

best not too, create a thread if you must and make it for chapter 13 fleet building help

[warped acorn]

how good is unzen gun

[knotty jolt]

pretty good

[unreal ember]

Chapter 13 fleet building

[warped acorn]

is twin 155 or twin 155 kai better

[real folio]

hello, any SR worth getting from the merit shop? or just fleet tech fodder?

[weary gust]

Eldridge is one of the best ships in the game once retrofit (her retrofit item is event limited)

[real folio]

i have missed that one, anything else worth getting ? or just bulins ?

[wind hazel]

what is twin 155 kai

or even twin 155

[weary gust]

The cl guns I'm guessing?

[wind hazel]

if you mean triple, 155kai is only better at w14

and for CL main gun i guess

[warped acorn]

oh thanks

[wind hazel]

if BB aux gun, just use 155. w14 use 155kai, that simple

[grim siren]

This right?

Btw is Unzen Build time is 2:12:00 right?

[knotty jolt]

off by 1 minute

[grim siren]

Should I do Amagi/Hakuhou/Shinano or replace Shinano with Inplacable?

[wind hazel]

depends on boss

[knotty jolt]

If you need a slow or not

[rain bobcat]

depends if you can get away with eldridge coping or have a specific window

[pale plinth]

Question regarding cross fleet barrages. Do they scale off FP, and does gear that increase FP make them stronger?

[glacial heath]

is the trick to do 13-2 hardmode just AA? I just tried automatic picking ships, but found out i atleast needed a healer+Cheshire.

[undone plover]

it depends on the specific barrage but yes a lot scale off of FP

they also get buffed by the dmg modifiers of the flagship of the fleet getting the x-fleet (the fleet that is fighting) for example in opsi having a ship with siren killer in flagship position increases x-fleet dmg by 15%

[pale plinth]

Good to know! just grinding fleet tech with weak ships so I figured i'd stack the 2nd fleet with xfleet to give them a bit of help

[soft raft]

Yes...
Normal W13 already needed more AA than previous maps, and you need a healer for mob fleet regardless

Auto suggestion is not the way to go 99% of the time

[jade raptor]

i dont know who to mlb next

[forest palm]

well removing what you have MLB isn't helpful to use either...

[jade raptor]

oops

sorry i had trouble telling what wasnt mlb or blueprint

[forest palm]

z52

[icy sphinx]

Same, I have Z-52, Trafalgar, Vanguard, Alsace, Mogador, Kronshtadt, Amagi CV, the last UR CV from Sakura, Fritz Rumey, Shimakaze, Mussashi and Ulrich to mlb

[regal crater]

Hello, a returning player here. I'm lost on what to prioritize right now. Anybody could help?

[tulip tinsel]

more context, but here's Unzen rerun event do that

[glacial heath]

yoyo, I see that I have maxed every ship in research 4. Should i use the blueprint: general blueprint - series 4 on ships i have not maxed out on resarch 3 or just dump it into existing research 4 shipgirl for like more prototype cores?

[ivory pawn]

It depends, but if it were me I’d turn them into Protocore.

[regal crater]

Well, I'm kinda lost mostly on the gears really and what shipgirl is good. I'm doing the event right now. In terms of story I'm only at Chapter 10

[glacial heath]

Actually true, since I can always buy the prints with coin for research 1-3 ships i dont have maxed out.

[pearl quarry]

Should I? I have 2 oath rings

My gears quite sucks because I'm still kinda new player

[quiet kiln]

Is the new event gun good?

[glacial heath]

have you max limit breaken her?

[pearl quarry]

Ah hell nah

Getting those UR for limit breating UR characters is quite difficult, I do not know how to get those. Matter of fact, what source that possible to limit break thos UR characters.

[ivory pawn]

Spec core is the primary route, though for Shinano it’s recommended to pick up dupes from the standard pity.

[pearl quarry]

I'm quite new, I'm trying to limit break SSR Atm

[ivory pawn]

You get 5k spec core from playing the game monthly, + up to 3k from Medal Shop, for 2 UR bulins per month.

[pearl quarry]

I have a lot of spec core i think, can you show me the picture?

[onyx flame]

Unzen gun? Yea

[pearl quarry]

Getting Shinano affinity from 99 to 100 took me a long time.

[ivory pawn]

In terms of your original question, if you’re not going to be buying more rings just Oath to show your love.

[pearl quarry]

I only have 2 rings, if I recall correctly, I get those from last year anniversary and through email since I haven't play this game for 1 year. Close to one year

Should I use my gem to expand my dorm or tatician class?

[ivory pawn]

Then oath for love.

[onyx flame]

Dorm 3rd slot and 2nd floor

[pearl quarry]

Dayum, is the oath buff useful or not? I'm painfully trying to get Sushi affinity from 93 to 100

[tulip tinsel]

Dont buy skill level slots

[tulip tinsel]

12% stat boost at 200 iirc

So the normal 6 doubled

[onyx flame]

Its useful but you need a lot of rings to make it worthwile

Plus you still gotta grind their affinity from 100 to 200

[pearl quarry]

😭

[onyx flame]

Takes a while for that one

[pearl quarry]

why???

[pearl quarry]

Devs give out free rings during anniversary right?

[onyx flame]

Yea

But if your not buying rings just oath who you love, dont bother with the stats

[pearl quarry]

It's uncanny that Strasbough always my MVP ships. It's easy to grind her affinity because she's always MVP.

[pearl quarry]

I only oath if they have like marriege skin like Prinz eugen. Ngl, I kinda want New jersys but is she even good nowdays?

[tulip tinsel]

main fleet mostly does more damage than vanguard

[onyx flame]

She still a UR bb but outclasses but like all of the newer ur ones like musashi that got added to perma recently

[pearl quarry]

I can tell, my main fleet is Z23, Prinz Eugen and the blue elite girl

[tulip tinsel]

that's vanguard

[pearl quarry]

Should I replace any of them for Unzen? (Currently, my Unzen isn't fully limit break through because I got her recently)

[pearl quarry]

ouuuuu

[ivory pawn]

If a ship isn’t MLB, they should be sitting on the bench.

[pearl quarry]

Main fleet are those in the back right?

[tulip tinsel]

Ye

[pearl quarry]

If I remember correctly, last year there were only 3 perma UR but now there's 7

[pearl quarry]

How do you put line a part of text?

[onyx flame]

2 ~ on each side

[pearl quarry]

Thanks and btw, I got lucky for Sushi that I pulled her twice

What does dd stand for?? 😭

[tulip tinsel]

Destroyer

[onyx flame]

On standard banner? you shouldnt be pulling on heavy/special

[tulip tinsel]

only daily 1x light

[pearl quarry]

No, I got Musashi last year when she was in the event banner. I asked in this channel if she's good. That's why I pulled her

[pearl quarry]

Dang, you're such a chill person.

[pearl quarry]

Why

[onyx flame]

Piss poor stats and missing like most of their dmg

Someone got the pic but for like backliners like bb they missing like 2/3+ of their dmg

[pearl quarry]

Don't blame me if I dont have high star gears. My best one are the epics one 😭

[tulip tinsel]

iirc around 2024 start of summer there was only NJ shinano and shimakaze

or only nj and nano

[rapid shard]

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

Here is a updated general gear guide

[soft raft]

Higher rarity doesn't always mean better
A large majority of gold gear is meh

[pearl quarry]

Does people buy skin to you know...??

NNN without the first N

[tulip tinsel]

ask the ones who buy

[rapid shard]

For Unzen, is quad mag torps the go to on her?

Or is she worth the quint rainbows

[onyx flame]

improved quad

[rapid shard]

i sadly wasnt playing back then

[onyx flame]

Same lmao, prob slap gold quad and call it a day unless you got excess mats

[ivory pawn]

Just run quad mags. Quints are so expensive for so little value.

[rapid shard]

Quint mags wouldn't hurt me much at all mat wise right now. Just curious if they was worth thr investment for her specificly

[slender turtle]

They arent really worth it, I almost feel like its more worth to make the rainbow sub torpedo at that point

[pearl quarry]

Why it didn't work?

[slender turtle]

?????

[rapid shard]

Works for me then. Cause im crafting a ton of gold quads so I dont have to keep swapping gear around

This is gameplay help bro. This the wrong channel for those kinda questions

[pearl quarry]

Mb

Hmmm, so giving a ship to ring is basically to show love?
grinding affinity is ass

[rapid shard]

Basically. The other use is for the extra stats if your a whale. Not reccomened because you'll end up having to oath a ton of ships to get full use of the extra stats

[pearl quarry]

Finally got it right, took me a while

[onyx flame]

Grinding affinity is pretty free if your grind lvling em at least to 100 affinity

[pearl quarry]

Gridning levels is quite slow, is there any way to speed up the grind?

[onyx flame]

Qurstion is what chap are you grinding at

[pearl quarry]

6

[rapid shard]

Grinding 12-4, Dorm for passive xp and books to get them to 75-100 to start grinding 12-4

[onyx flame]

12-1/12-4/13-1 are like the usual

[pearl quarry]

I haven't reached there yet...

[onyx flame]

You can easily rush to w9 with a like 1 level 100 fleet + unicorn

Thou rn you should be doing event

[rapid shard]

Focus on one fleet till you hit W10/11 then start a second fleet to push W12. Depending on your fleet it is possible to single fleet to 12-1 with a massive maybe on 12-4

[pearl quarry]

Whats wrong with the chapter 12

[pearl quarry]

How long is the event and why is it important?

[warm latch]

event points for event shop

[onyx flame]

1 week, one of the best CA gun, plus its an event

[warm latch]

especially when event shop has good gear in it

[pearl quarry]

I mean the stages

[warm latch]

you grind the event stages to get event points for the event shop

[onyx flame]

You got normal / hard 6 stages each

[warm latch]

you dont get event points in 12-4

[onyx flame]

Grind the highest you can preferable hard

[pearl quarry]

Is auto movement reccomended or hell nah?

[tulip tinsel]

if they don't sink

[onyx flame]

Auto is fine as long as your fleet doesnt die

You can also opt to manual till its safe then auto ig

[pearl quarry]

Thanks for all the info, I have no more question to ask. Or so you thought?

[tulip tinsel]

that's what this channel is for

[pearl quarry]

Why does buying skin look so tempting. I only have 690 gems 😭

[rapid shard]

If your F2P dont spend gems on skins.

[pearl quarry]

Why?

[rapid shard]

/gems

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

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 💳.

[onyx flame]

skins literally does nothing for gameplay
Gems should be used on more impactful stuff since its so limited as a f2p

[tulip tinsel]

if you spend f2p gems on skin you lose a lot of dock space

[rapid shard]

Dorm slots, second floor, dock space etc will help you out way more than a skin ever will.

[pearl quarry]

I'm pretty sure people buy it because they're freaky

Dawg, I'm lacking friends in this game 😭

[rapid shard]

technically there was that one skin that was bugged for PvP so one did effect gameplay

[pearl quarry]

which is?

[rapid shard]

Its been patched for a long time I dont even remember who's it was

[pearl quarry]

Also, is meta characters good??

[inland shoal]

Technically skins affect gameplay byt yeah 🤏

[inland shoal]

Meta is meta
But assuming you mean the nation some golds are decent, the purples all trash

[rapid shard]

Purple METAs are all really bad. Golds METAs are okay with some niches like Jintsuu META for PvP

[inland shoal]

You misspelt Glorious

[rapid shard]

Jintsuu torp spam but now over shadowed by Yukikaze with augment

[inland shoal]

I know what Jintsuu's role is, just saying that Glorm is pretty big in pvp rn

[turbid marsh]

also some niche in opsi too XD

[rapid shard]

Ive honestly not seen anyone running her on Little E server. I dont have her but what does she do for PvP?

[regal crater]

Who should I MLB?

[rapid shard]

Is that all your URs including MLB ones?

[tulip tinsel]

Lion

[onyx flame]

prob lion dont quote me on that

[ivory pawn]

Lion. Do quote me on that.

[rapid shard]

Definitely lion regardless tho

Strongest ship in game

[stone sluice]

How many event points can we receive every day from dailies (besides SP)?

[onyx flame]

1650 from daily normal, 2250 from daily hard and 800 from sp means 4700 a day

well there also the mission ones but i didnt add that into my calc cause i keep forgetting

[rapid shard]

Is that from doing 1 sortie of all stages each day?

[onyx flame]

think its 450? from daily missions plus another 300 if you do 3 builds a day

[onyx flame]

yea basically snagging all the daily bonus

[regal crater]

Here all of them

[rapid shard]

Lion

[regal crater]

Noted

[onyx flame]

also does unzen event ex just require good dodging/inv? cause damn does it burn through my vanguard

[rapid shard]

Yeah my Vanguard of Agir Sandy and Eldretro got nuked in like 15sec. Whats the gimmick with this this one?

[pearl quarry]

Broo.. I'm quite confused now. I only have 2 rings and there's 2 ships that I can give it to. Idk if giving a ring will do anything good

Should I?

[warm latch]

its up to you

[pearl quarry]

Done
Gotta need that boost

[warm latch]

unless youre a whale dont worry about the boost

[pearl quarry]

I'm not a whale unfortunately

I just like her because she carries me throughout the journey

[inland shoal]

A lot of damage

It's thanks to her barrages on her taking damage
Turns out you take a lot of damage in pvp

[stark quiver]

its little e

also jintsuu meta isnt overshadowed by yukikaze lol

[hollow gust]

The slight bonus stat buff means absolutely nothing to newbies . It's not noticeable . Most people just pick ships with skins

[sweet delta]

If berke had fully oathed fleets, maybe he could've won in 2 minutes and 59 seconds instead of timing out in 11-3

[rapid summit]

Is Laffey II rerun in 2026?

[tulip tinsel]

if she has one it should be in 26

[slender turtle]

Still don’t get Alsace for like another year at least probably?

[onyx flame]

she's in theory lined up for 2026 as well prob the 3rd rerun

[wary skiff]

I just want Fritz and Soyuz. I think Soyuz is Feb and Fritz was near december

[onyx flame]

fritz is more like start of 2027

[short star]

Best Mob / Boss Combo and what to Level next?

[fleet cosmos]

out of these UR Ships which ones should I as a newer player invest Bulins into?
been playing for like 3 months and havent used a single UR Bulin, cause im not sure about which ones are gonna be used a lot.

My current URs: NJ, Shinano, Hakuhou, Unzen, Musashi, I-404
I currently have 14 UR Bulins available.

Gonna add this incase it matters, the Current Research ships I got unlocked are
Roon, FDG, Ägir, Anchorage, AVP, and am currently working on getting enough Sakura Empire Tech to unlock Hakuryuu

[onyx flame]

I would say musashi and hakuhou but see what other say

[fleet cosmos]

yeah I'll get more opinions, afaik Hakuhou is only good against Heavy Armored enemies? so she seems very niche? but as I said, im new and might be wrong.

[onyx flame]

she's niche but she's still a ur carrier which means big dmg

[violet grail]

If you are a fairly new player and don't have many UR ships then those kinds of evaluations dont really apply. Main fleet limited banner UR is generally good to MLB and use.

[kind anchor]

Is Unzen worth getting or should I wait for a new UR?

I’m pretty new, started a couple months ago, got to lv81 but still stuck in chapter 10. Only recently read the guide and working on max Helena and Unicorn etc. the recommended starters

[violet grail]

Just use the free tickets from the event, see if you can get her with those. Save up 400+ cubes for new UR in december + maybe if you want to pull a bit during collab banner.

Unzen is a vanguard ship not main fleet so less of a priority. Main fleet is where the big damage is at.

[weary edge]

i have a meowfficer called Teach and idk where it came from but it the talents look good should i be using this

it looks like a tempesta meowfficer but i dont remember getting it from the tempesta event

[wind hazel]

you got it from tempesta event shop. she's decent CV cat if you don't have anything better

[weary edge]

ah i see, i have Drake and Every as well

[wind hazel]

same as teach, but for BB

[weary edge]

also you said "if u dont have anything better" but i thought like Drake and Every were supposed to be like insanely good meowfficers

[hazy olive]

So is San Fran any good?

[weary edge]

just searched her up ive never seen her before 😭

[onyx flame]

they are but their talent only really applies to bb

[wind hazel]

they are good, but perfect cats exist

[weary edge]

id say she's decent for mobbing

use her with indep

[weary edge]

check out my perfect form, it's perfect 🟢 , but im assuming to get a perfect meowfficer takes ages

[wind hazel]

it does yes

[onyx flame]

and it cost a lot 💸

[weary edge]

yeah im only like 2.5 months into the game so, guess ill be using the tempesta cats for a while

[weary edge]

yeah i heard like drake is like equivalent of 2.5 mil coins

[kind anchor]

Gotcha thanks

[hot turret]

How good is Roma?

[hazy olive]

I mean it’s alright

[ivory pawn]

Decent. +2 FP iirc.

Probably not a priority unless you're farming fleet tech tho.

[sweet delta]

Average gold BB, which means not worth using except for tech

Considering that they have Lion among others

[hot turret]

Alright, at least it looks very nice

[stark quiver]

They can also be equivalent to 0 coins tbf

[onyx flame]

when the next lunar new year event runs, the previous one gets added to perma right? wanaa get my hands on chien wu someday cause damn that skin is nice

[hot turret]

Is South Dakota worth it in the Merit exchange shop?
