[wind hazel]

only for collection %

[hot turret]

Ok

[eternal basin]

Is Uzen really that good? Just curious cause she do not wanna come to me at all

[knotty jolt]

she's ok

She's strong at what she does but is quite squishy as a result

[sweet delta]

Unzen is just top 3 vanguard DPS with zero support, so she can easily be powercrept from the top meta and has already been powercrept from the top meta

[turbid marsh]

idk about unzen being squishy

[forest palm]

Unzen should be around Portland bulk which isn't much for content that matters

[safe nexus]

Is there a way to disable the story from appearing everytime I clear d3?

[forest palm]

pretty sure that's post story stuff, which will stop after a point

[violet grail]

It stops after you get to 100% then clear another 10 times to get to "safe" difficulty.

[safe nexus]

Bruh why 😭 and thx

[wary saffron]

What’s a trp

[tulip tinsel]

the torpedo stat

[onyx flame]

fill in stuff for fleet 2 to pad out stats but you dont have to use em

[wary saffron]

Ok thanks

[sweet delta]

Where's Unicorn?

[wary saffron]

I changed the fleet she’s in the fleet rn

[teal hare]

can someone tell me why the EX stage of the event literylly oneshots my best vanguard?

[rain vine]

its the old version of ex, which requires you to know the attack patterns and manually dodge

[violet grail]

Is there a recommended speed buff for it? Like using gyroscopes? Ive been mostly just ignoring ex stages tbh. Thought I was simply too weak for them still.

[rain vine]

just use 1-2 destroyers

[wary saffron]

What’s an EX stage

[teal hare]

i swear to god there is no space to move xd

[teal hare]

Its the hardest stage there is in the event, you can play it after you defeat the SP stage

[sweet delta]

[wary saffron]

Guys how do I get more engagement rings without spending gems

[sweet delta]

Wait until August

[zenith heron]

your best bet is Anniversary, which is once a year, lucky if other events give a ring...

||Also if you probably attend rare events on this discord but that's probably less to get||

[wary saffron]

But chat gpt said there is love points that you can exchange for rings

I guess I got scammed by bro again🤦

Well anyways I was like fuck it so I oathed shinano

[viscid swift]

why the fuck would you trust chat GPT for info on what is a relatively niche game without a lot of sources to draw info from

[warm latch]

i see this in every game i play "but ai said this" ai is unreliable at best, but most of the time doesnt know shit

[viscid swift]

people seem to forget that generative Ai can and will just make information up and that it needs information to draw from

the more sources it has to draw from, the better your results will be

[sweet delta]

More sources like reddit or kimocheese transcripts

[wary saffron]

Because I thought it would be faster to ask this dumb ass BUT I WAS WRONG ONCE AGAIN BC THAT GUY RAGEBAITS ME AND FEEDS ME LIES

[warm latch]

its hard to get an ai to say it doesnt know the answer to a question, itll try to answer it no matter how wrong the answer might be

[wary saffron]

Ik ik that mf will stand on that hill and defend it no matter how wrong he is

Which made me want to punch my phone

[limber tundra]

is it worth to farm the ship to limit break her?

[wary saffron]

Is the UR rarity gun worth it for Unzen(costs 10k event coins)

[rain vine]

probably, as long as you have the other stuff like build tickets

[undone plover]

5 copies would be expensive
i would grab the high prio stuff and get her copies with w.e is left

[limber tundra]

i took the rainbow gun, what should be bought prio?

ticket gold and oil?

[sweet delta]

Build tickets, cog arrays, cog chips, oil, gold cat box, DR blueprints, PR blueprints

[limber tundra]

i got 15k cog chips, does it go fast?

[sweet delta]

I summon @viscid swift

[viscid swift]

not even enough for 7 SRs

[sweet delta]

At one point in my career, I had 140 ships in my dock who were capped by cog chips

[limber tundra]

dang, good to know

[light trail]

does that mean she's not really worth ULBing anymore?

[sweet delta]

Depends on your rainbows and bulins

And on when there will be a relevant heavy boss

[light trail]

rainbows
2 UR bulin
42k protocore

[sweet delta]

42k spec core you can afford anything, it's just do you want to use Unzen anywhere?

Opsi mob if you don't have Ibuki atago etc

[turbid marsh]

crossfleet XD

[light trail]

does she have any use cases that my other vanguard URs wont have above her

[forest palm]

nope

[light trail]

guess i save everything til soyuz rerun

[forest palm]

Unzen is purely a DPS ship

[light trail]

or maybe i just ULB for the hell of it lol

[turbid marsh]

i mean the only use is probably heavy armour meta boss that doesn't move at all

[light trail]

who's the UR gun good on/against btw

is it best gun/top tier for anything

[sweet delta]

Anyone whose fighting light armor and doesn't have special ammo gimmicks

And for ships who require HE like Atago or Saint

[light trail]

okok. is it like "always use whenever applicable" or is it situationally better than other guns

[sweet delta]

It's a rainbow gun, if you want to use anywhere then it's worse than the pr6 rainbow gun

[light trail]

i dont really understand what that means

[sweet delta]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/#vanguard-weapons-ca-guns

Bro playing touhou while everyone else playing azur lane.

Thanks for the vid!

[light trail]

thanks

[ripe bluff]

how do you guys not run out of purins

gold bulins

also are the purple skip bomb planes worth using

[turbid marsh]

well the helpers here are normally 3 + years of game play therefore them old people don't lack that resource

[knotty jolt]

I'm always low of gold bulins

[turbid marsh]

fine 5+

i guess shall grind them exercises, be more lucky to grind more sr copies heehee

[viscid swift]

took me about 4.5

but then again I also slacked on PvP for a long time

[rain bobcat]

I have like 700k

[turbid marsh]

i didn't do exercise for 6 years now i think

but i always keep 30k just in case i need 2 bullins XD

[ripe bluff]

I was sitting on like 50k but tempesta events ate all my savings

I really dont want to actually have to play excercise its so boring

[viscid swift]

face some tough oponents and that'll get you invested

[ripe bluff]

also is the purple skip bombers worth using

I dont see any reason to use anything else for stationary targets

[ornate narwhal]

Is Bremerton a good tank?

[rain bobcat]

not really

survivability wise she's worse than portland

which is quite the feat

[knotty jolt]

are you referring to these things? had to search cause didn't even know we had skip bombs

[ripe bluff]

ya
basically turn dive bombers into aimed torp bombers

[knotty jolt]

If you are referring to them i have never seen anyone actually use these things

Especially since the sb2c helldiver is one of the best and cheapest planes in the game

[sweet delta]

see if they do more damage than 50% accurate helldivers

||not even close||

[ripe bluff]

makes dive bombers made for single stationary target specifically
still loses to bog standard planes

well hope they make a gold usable version someday

[knotty jolt]

did some numbers for fun and vs heavy armor a grey sb2c at +3 does 60% more damage if every bomb hits

[ripe bluff]

they do look fun tho

half the things I do in this game are just because it would be funny

[sweet delta]

yeah Nakhimov has a "gold" version in her skill

[ripe bluff]

I mean I made a mobbing fleet with both rupprecht and odin

was it that useful no is it funny watching secondary spam yeah

[floral fox]

hello, when do you have lvl up 6 good ships, what is the good thing to do after lvl up others one ?
i'm a bit lost to who lvl up now

[knotty jolt]

Ya level up whoever is strong then after that whoever you want.

[floral fox]

oh okay thanks

[cinder saffron]

So I just got Unzen, got a whole 12 levels into her from books, she’s my first UR, and I want to throw her into my fleet, but I’m not sure where

If that’s even a good idea, all I know is I want to find somewhere to use her and level her up

[viscid swift]

well it's a bad idea if you can't limit break her

you also need to limit break the ships you currently have in your fleet

[cinder saffron]

True, working towards a few Bulins, need more SR bulins before I can limit break my other ships at the moment, gold is another problem…sorta, but you got it boss

[modern depot]

Lf help with OS, here is what I’m using rn which is probably not ideal, any suggestions, here is my dock

I should probably mention that my 2nd fleet is able to clear all the nodes without much trouble. Fleet 1 is primarily boss killing but the other 2 fleets die quickly or just don’t do anything at all

[knotty jolt]

Looks relatively fine to me other then the random Taihou

Why is she there?

[viscid swift]

fleets are kinda all over the place, could be better but if they kill everything they're fine

[modern depot]

Ijn carrier with kazagumo ig, idk honestly

[modern depot]

Any suggestions to optimize?

[viscid swift]

contrating your best ships onto 2 boss fleets rather than spreading them across 3 mainly

so
Shinano, Amagi, Implacabale/Hakuryuu, Guam, Kazagumo, Uznen
Bismarck Zwei, Alsace, Lion, Z52, Plymouth, [flex]

and get eldridge retrofitted and leveled up

[modern depot]

How do I get her retrofit item?

It’s event only right so probably just wait?

[viscid swift]

well it reran about a month ago, shortly after the EN Anni event began

[modern depot]

Rip

[hollow gust]

Why separate one of the best BB supports into a hybrid fleet that won't fully utilize her skills.

[modern depot]

?

[brisk dragon]

this battle pass thing that gives gems
how doable is it?

for f2p

[rain bobcat]

you do realise ply only buffs ur BB flagship and not the other 2

anyway having 3 BB is definitely better but its not like ply's value is just not there if you only have her+BB flagship

[rain bobcat]

wut

f2p means no money spent at all

but if ur asking if its actually worth the money the black friday pass is dogshit

if ur looking to start spending money, 2x gem packs are always going to be the best

[eternal basalt]

It gives no gems in the f2p section

[rain bobcat]

cruisepass is good if you want the skin it comes with

[brisk dragon]

oh my bad
i was gonna close the game and misclick on it
ii asked before reading to see if it's worth staying up more for it or should i just go to lseep

[smoky citrus]

Ayo, did they artiffically ramp up the sp diffculty for this event?

It has no right being this hard, last event sp I was crusing

Like every hit is a crit

[viscid swift]

no, it's pretty much the standard difficulty for events

[rain bobcat]

it's standard, I 1:1 barely taking damage

[viscid swift]

last event was just a different map format

[smoky citrus]

Oh ffs they really don't want anyone getting more tickets to get the even ships then eh

[viscid swift]

with an easier SP map than nomal to match the maps being easier than normal as a whole

[eternal basalt]

With SP3, not even having an SP map... and before that S|P was easier cause it was an SP event rather than EX event

[viscid swift]

it's not like SP is difficult

[smoky citrus]

?but it is

it's so hard 😭

[eternal basalt]

Level 100 vs level 115

[rain bobcat]

you should very easily clear it with 2:2 or 3:3

[viscid swift]

it only is if you're very new or have neglected your fleets and ships

[smoky citrus]

I don't know what that is

[viscid swift]

the number of ships in your fleets

[smoky citrus]

these are the only ships I have that can run it

[rain bobcat]

main fleet DDG is crazy

[warm latch]

no healer, and are those URs mlb?

[smoky citrus]

My healer is one level off

[viscid swift]

again, why aren't you using a healer
or rather, why aren't you using Unicorn retrofit

[smoky citrus]

uni is one level off and I don't have exp packs

[rain bobcat]

my setup from original run

[viscid swift]

I mean this account is at least 7 months old

[smoky citrus]

???How did you know????

[rain bobcat]

becuase.. surprise, lion is 7 months old

[smoky citrus]

oh lol

[viscid swift]

Kazan is the oldest event exlcusive ship you have and she released either March or April this year

[smoky citrus]

yeah my first event right when I got in the game was the tulipa event

[viscid swift]

so you've had plenty of time to get 2 fleets leveled up that should quite eaisly demolish SP

[smoky citrus]

???? I can?

[viscid swift]

so you only really have yourself to blame here, bearing in mind that can easily be done in a month and at a relatively casual pace

[rain bobcat]

if levels are your problem, and if lion is mlb, just run
lion taihou unicorn vanguards. 1 fleeting shoud be very easy

[smoky citrus]

I don't know what to do, i've been playing the game as usal

[viscid swift]

from a new account I might add

if nothing else you don't grind enough

[smoky citrus]

know one what to do, I'm litterlay just playing normally

[rain bobcat]

.

[viscid swift]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

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

these might help

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say Lion and Trafalgar are not max limit break

[smoky citrus]

nah

I don't have many bulins and I want to spread them out

[warm latch]

dont spread them out, mlb one ship at a time

[viscid swift]

that is the exact opposite of what you should be doing

[smoky citrus]

? isn't it better be more versatile?

[warm latch]

not mlb = not good

[viscid swift]

even a 2 limit break UR is still mostly comparable to an SR BB

[smoky citrus]

like I can always get more bulins

[viscid swift]

they don't truly demolish them until limit break 3

[smoky citrus]

????ayo thats crazy

[viscid swift]

and all 0 limit break ships are garbage

[warm latch]

thats just how important mlb is

[smoky citrus]

Alright then, thats it. Is there like a program or website I can copy and paste my ship lists into and it will automamtically sort them for the best comps? being underpowered sucks

[viscid swift]

no

start a thread and post your dock in this channel

[smoky citrus]

thats seems tedious I weouldn't want to annoy anyone

[viscid swift]

hardly, it's done on the regular here

and frankly it's a lot less hassle than a back and forth guessing what you may or may not have

[smoky citrus]

ah I see, cause I have alot of ships

[viscid swift]

my dude, I have over 520 ships at level 120 alone

[smoky citrus]

.....dayum

[viscid swift]

sifting through large amounts of ships is nothing new to me

[smoky citrus]

alright, cool lemme finish this stage and ill do it

[hoary relic]

[smoky citrus]

Us chips

[sweet delta]

It's normal to have a large dock

[hidden gazelle]

Question is this is a decent fleet for iron blood?

[weary gust]

Faction fleets are by default not decent.,

[viscid swift]

you didn't need to filter by faction, in fact it would be better if you hadn't

[smoky citrus]

really?

[viscid swift]

even by faction fleets standards its bad

[weary gust]

Do not use non max limit break ships. Normal Bismarck is bad. Your vanguard positioning is entirely off.
You should probably make a thread and post your dock too.

[warm latch]

Us chips

[viscid swift]

yes, just sort by level

[smoky citrus]

ok

[hidden gazelle]

I shall do that tomorrow then because I still need to farm up exp for friedrich almost done

[rain bobcat]

pretty mediocre because ur lacking vanguards

[weary gust]

If your FdG isn't at Dev 30, which it sounds like she won't be, she isn't usable either.

[rain bobcat]

also using biscuit (normal) is very discouraged

[hidden gazelle]

Lemme check on the vanguards real quick

[stark quiver]

Is it better to over cap on oil or to just buy curry

[rain bobcat]

just run 14-4

double plan

[weary gust]

It's better to not overcap to begin with. If you are overcapped and canteen is full, you can spend a little bit to buy dorm food, but that's still not advised.

[knotty jolt]

i mean so long as canteen doesn't overflow and you waste that

[stark quiver]

It’s been 3600 for a good month

[rain bobcat]

im eternally broke so I dont like overcapping

im up 500k since tempesta at 0

[knotty jolt]

the amount of oil you coulda had is painful

[hidden gazelle]

Tbh i just put random iron blood characters because i needed them for exp farming but now ik i have issues with fleet making in general i will ask most of the questions tomorrow then gn guys

[weary gust]

Faction fleet for PR/DR exp farming is fine, and ship comp for that doesn't matter so long as it's clearing whatever you're farming without issues.

PR/DR CDC is use whatever really. 12-4 on safe is a very low bar.

[ornate narwhal]

Is lutzow good?

[weary gust]

She's alright. Not really used for anything.

[ornate narwhal]

Is she better than Pennsylvania? For flag

[weary gust]

If at mlb yes. Would depend who else you have whether she is worth limit breaking or not.

[sweet delta]

all gold BBs are stronger than Pennsylvania.
Not all gold BBs are worth using over Pennsylvania.

[ornate narwhal]

So is she worth using?

[weary gust]

Prob not

[sweet delta]

depends if this is your old account, second old account, or a new account you just made 3 days ago

[ornate narwhal]

Its for a beginner account that my friend made

[weary gust]

Better to get Hood from the medal shop.

[ornate narwhal]

They are on Lexy so idk if they can get it

[weary gust]

If they're lucky they can use the free shipbuilding tickets from this event and roll Owari.

I wouldn't recommend they spend cubes on this event with a collab coming and new UR in december.

[wind hazel]

hood 📉
alabama 📈

[weary gust]

I forgot she got a new augment recently

Need to go look up what that does...

Just upgraded guaranteed barrage on salvo? Must be pretty strong upgrade for her to displace Hood

[viscid swift]

well Hood wasn't particularly brilliant

just everything else was worse

[smoky citrus]

bruh. I can't even use this fleet. IT WON'T LET ME

WHAT DO YOU MEAN TRP? MY BOSS FLEET DOESN'T HAVE HAVE TORPS

[viscid swift]

just use a torp aux on a ship, you're only 6 short

[smoky citrus]

I can do that?

[viscid swift]

yes

[smoky citrus]

huh, alright

thx

[tidal dust]

where does the exchange gun rank?

[viscid swift]

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

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/#vanguard-weapons-ca-guns

[weary gust]

Best CA gun for HE armor.

[peak fable]

I think I used up all my luck of my life. Not only did I get 3 Unzens in 10 pulls, but also 3 gem commissions in one day.

[ivory pawn]

Sir this is a help channel.

[stark quiver]

nice

[ripe bluff]

is there any reason to not use shimanto gun for ghost AA gun on AA CLs

[sharp socket]

bad damage

[ripe bluff]

hm

[soft raft]

The ghost AA gun is pretty whatever
It wont really make a noticeable diff

[ripe bluff]

I mean its vanguard damage and youre using her for AA not damage

[soft raft]

Using who? Shimato?
She has very good DPS on top of pretty good AA

[weak elk]

hmm whats the best map to grind event point or should i wait for the daily boost

[ripe bluff]

no not shimanto herself

Im thinking some other CLs you force into AA role

[sharp socket]

theres not alot of those that aren't also not good to use in general

[soft raft]

Using Shimanto gun wont help non-AA focused CLs suddenly become way better in the AA department

[knotty jolt]

D3 is the best like any other event

[wind hazel]

daily+SP is enough, unless you wanna get extras

[sharp socket]

you could put shimanto gun on montpelier, but monty also has augment and can do fair amount of damage

[wanton dagger]

How to reach 100%?

[fluid brook]

Clear it several times

[stark quiver]

clear the stage one more time

[ripe bluff]

anyhow do I wanna give my rainbow quints to shima or harbin
theyre on the same fleet

[stark quiver]

if you have improved quad then harbin

[ripe bluff]

do I also want improved quad on harbin
I got two

[stark quiver]

yes

[ripe bluff]

are improved quads the best or smth

[wind hazel]

it has faster reload and slightly better hit rate vs the quint

[ripe bluff]

ah k

[wind hazel]

quint is rarely better at some cases

[ripe bluff]

now im actually debating who i want the rainbow quint mags on

[wind hazel]

just use it lol

[fluid brook]

on depot

[wind hazel]

the difference is marginal for farming etc

[ripe bluff]

auto bossing

[wind hazel]

just use quad then

[bright tusk]

Is daisen gun less good than izumo gun for musashi?

[ivory pawn]

Daisen's better.

[fluid brook]

which is Daisen Gun?

[soft raft]

PR7 Japanese BB gun

[fluid brook]

Proto Twin 410?

[soft raft]

Yee this thing

[fluid brook]

[clear harbor]

Are IJN bombers typically converging? Are there any that are parallel?

I'm trying to level my Hakuhou in my mob fleet. It migth be night to have an IJN Torp Bomber equipped in slot 1 instead of one of my converging bombers.

[wind hazel]

no, all ijn are converging

it's fine to use converging on hakuhou first slot, you want to

[halcyon moth]

Pulled Unzen at 31. Should I go for Dupes or stop now? Im assuming this is a full send but IDK im still kinda new.

[silk helm]

not worth pulling for dupes

[halcyon moth]

got ya. thanks

[rain bobcat]

simply a matter of mobbing vs 20s sync

[sweet delta]

Did original Unzen event's EX have BB lock?

[wind hazel]

according to youtube yes

bb+bb/bc

[ripe bluff]

Is it still worth building cheap farming fleets

[wind hazel]

depends on your account

[candid gale]

Is this good? Or better spend oil on battle?

[wind hazel]

good, cube one is worth. the rest no

[candid gale]

Alright thankss

[sweet delta]

Devs making the endgame easier :reallymad:

[sweet delta]

Bilibili says soynakfrist 4 la9 wichitam Helena Eldridge

[robust jackal]

Is Elbings challenge mode glitched? I keep getting Nuked despite my timing with unicorn for her air strike

[tidal dust]

do i MLB musashi, who i had at tier 1 or do i hold for doing MLB on Unzen

i have 3 bulins

[wind hazel]

i doubt your unicorn is set properly on her timing

[wind hazel]

3 is not enough to mlb musashi from base

[tidal dust]

i used one on her earlier

[sweet delta]

Have you read the boss skills?

[wind hazel]

are those your only UR?

[tidal dust]

those and krondstadt

[robust jackal]

Elbings skill one hits at 18, 3 secs later for skill 2

[sweet delta]

Check your cats

[wind hazel]

mlb musashi then. also dont randomly limit break and then ask who to mlb

[sweet delta]

Well if your unicorn reloads in 19s every time then at the second sting she is already too fast

Or 3rd sting

Well according to /calc your unicorns reload is 17.79s with 188 + 36 rld

Which is no good after the first sting

[ripe bluff]

pretty late game imo but I dont wanna spend shit to mine foxes

[robust jackal]

Is there a reload calc on a guide I can use that factors in fleet tech?

[wind hazel]

ranger+cassin 0lb can farm 3-4

[tidal dust]

are you able to morale anywhere except the dorm?

[crystal night]

Really struggling with boss fleet for 14-2, I can clear but Shinano and Drake dies a lot, my mob fleet is with Hood, Perseus, Unicorn, Jervis, Laffey II, Neptune. Any tips to making my boss fleet better?

[ripe bluff]

theres occasionally events for boosted recovery but im pretty sure they recover slower out of dorm

[wind hazel]

outside dorm 20/hr
dorm first floor 40/hr
second floor 50/hr
event buff +10
oath +10 extra on top of the above

[tidal dust]

i wasn't talking about recovery, i was asking about seeing what the value is

[ripe bluff]

does dorm morale have a cap or something
everyone gets tuck at 119 for some reason

[wind hazel]

what

[ripe bluff]

if I leave ships out of dorm they stay on 119 morale specifically for really long

so I wonder whats up with that

[wind hazel]

what value are you asking about

[wind hazel]

yes outside dorm morale only recover up to 119, dorm 150

[soft raft]

ships that are placed in in dorm have a max morale of 150
Literally as shrimple as that

[ripe bluff]

ah

[gilded dune]

for the choose your own gift bundles
do the specialized core count tword monthly? or on top of your monthly?

[sweet delta]

/calc

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Calculator for precise fleet reload times by mrlar

[tidal dust]

is there anywhere to see morale value in the dock or is it only shown in the dorm?

[wise cairn]

should I focus on purple fox mlb or finish raff, who’s currently 5 stars? I don’t have unzen yet

[robust jackal]

bookmarked, thank you

[wind hazel]

there's filter from your dock, but it's not intuitive. dorm is easier

[sweet delta]

When you try to put a ship in your fleet, it should show morale for all ships

[soft raft]

You should've just held onto your UR Bullins until you can MLB a UR in one go

At this point you may as well finish Raffello because otherwise you'd fall into the trap of having multiple partially Limit Broken URs

[rain bobcat]

can you restore agir's pillow in her skin after you take it off?

[wind hazel]

yes

[rain bobcat]

what do you press

[wise cairn]

…

[wind hazel]

i forgot

[rain bobcat]

[wind hazel]

should be on youtube, it's old skin by now

[ripe bluff]

can you only ever have one mogador gun
at least for now before rerun

[soft raft]

Until Alsace event reruns yes

[wind hazel]

yes

[viscid swift]

your fleets are really bad as a heads up

Mob: Musashi, Unicorn, Independence, Laffey 2, Watarase, San Diego retrofit
Boss: Monarch, Saratoga, Essex(only if you have her retrofit item)/Shinano, Anchorage, Jeanne d' Arc, Drake
read this and make sure your ships are equipped properly
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

I'd also reccomend getting your subs leveled to 120 as well because you are almost certainly going to need to lean on them

[sweet delta]

4 star Musashi

[viscid swift]

I am reccomending Musashi be max limit broken

[rain bobcat]

I can't find how to make her pillow return in pose 2

I was basing it off my memory but even on youtube can't really find anyone doing it

oh I found it

[sweet delta]

Is there anyone who's at least half as tanky as a level 1 Laffii and has lower power?

[wind hazel]

unenhanced lv1 laffii

[ionic kraken]

is unzen good? i spent all my cubes trying for owari but got her instead

[wind hazel]

yes, one of the strongest vanguard dps

[sweet delta]

Is there anyone who's at least half as tanky as a level 1 unequipped Laffii and has lower than 723power?

[stark quiver]

dodge better

[soft raft]

Very solid DPS CA
She's essentially Shimakaze if she had actual gun damage on top of stonks torps

[flint fiber]

ok i need help the ships i circled in red i already have the rest i don't can i get any tips on what ship would be really good and useful to have that will help me through out the game

[fallow sedge]

Is triple 203mm good for unzen or atleast general

[rain vine]

what does your mob fleet look like?

[rain vine]

im assuming you mean the rainbow gun in the event shop?

[flint fiber]

tbh im rather new and i dont play much so i dont have the best ships ive been really trying to play more and get better ships😅

[wind hazel]

take alabama

[soft raft]

If you're talking about the UR CA Gun in the event shop, it's the best anti-light armor CA Gun so take that as you will

[flint fiber]

reason for alabama is there somthing she dose better then the others?

[rain vine]

with augment, shes a very solid mob bb

[wind hazel]

damage 📈

[covert sierra]

Which one should I prioritize to upgrade?

[wind hazel]

doesnt matter, level them equally to 4 or 5, then max 1 by 1

[zenith heron]

Is the UI Adaptation for CV Ships are like when they use their Strike, the Background also shows?

[onyx flame]

Is unzen ex gimmick just dodge good?

[rain vine]

yes

[next escarp]

Where to farm coins

[rain vine]

12-4, 13-4, or 14-4

[broken tundra]

Did they change something in this mode? Where are my daily quests? (And yes, I already logged out and back in after the new server day started.)

[rapid eagle]

is this how many more points I need for hindy

[onyx flame]

thats the amount of blueprints needed to dev 30 and fate sim 5 her (but her fs5 doesnt exist yet) so you only need 513 bps to dev 30 her

[spare haven]

need 718 bps for what? build her?

[weary gust]

PR/DR ships require blueprints to raise their stats/limit break and unlock their full potential. You can construct them after completing their research tasks (CDC exp 1 and 2, contributing some other materials).

[spare haven]

oh i see

[whole crypt]

this is how many blueprints is needed to finish her development+FS (which doesn't yet exist)
by points do you mean you're still short of tech to unlock her research

[remote mauve]

Where can I use most of my oil to?

[wind hazel]

campaign grind

[remote mauve]

Dam thats a really slow

[wind hazel]

anywhere else is a waste

[weary gust]

Event d3 stage is another option (also slower oil usage)

[remote mauve]

22k oil is going down slowly each time

[wind hazel]

13-4 x3+ HECLP and watch it goes down swiftly

[remote mauve]

At least is there a way to make the auto runs faster or nah?

[wind hazel]

use really strong fleet

[remote mauve]

Alr

Coin grind we go

[static sphinx]

Is skin projection worth the 400 gems?

[wind hazel]

subjective

[stark quiver]

i mean do you really need to see all your copies of a single pr ship with multiple bought skins

[weary gust]

Skin projection is worth 0 imo. It's a feature that isn't needed, and is only for if you want to display multiple skins of the same pr/dr ship at a time.

[late flame]

as a person who had bought them, no

[static sphinx]

Ah ok

Thank you

[rain bobcat]

there isn't even a single ship that has that many skins lol.

the 3-4 you get for free per ship covers everything already

[stark quiver]

am i slow if my meck is d24

[wind hazel]

depends

[rain bobcat]

prob not if ur 1 gun ahead of someone who has meck 30 rn?

[stark quiver]

im at 1.5 guns

[wind hazel]

i wanna say slightly behind

[weary gust]

That's around where I'm at PR8 BP/Print wise.

[stark quiver]

gg

dang my last ring goes to meck

[remote mauve]

Why does the game freeze for no reason (

[weary gust]

Meck D28 and 1 gun + 24 BP. (Could D30 Meck at any moment with selector prints).

[tulip tinsel]

restart

[stark quiver]

i have a whole 0 selectors

Can’t be that bad

[wind hazel]

86 and 27bp away from dev30

[worn quest]

when does the next ur come out? i have 8 ur bulins rn and im wondering if i should save for the next ur or use them on what i have rn

[wind hazel]

end of next month

[weary gust]

December. And we have a collab between then and now.

[wind hazel]

what UR do you have now? should be safe to spend 4 of them now

[worn quest]

i have unzen, bismark ii, ykii, that are not mlb yet. I also have new jersey, but ill just pull enough to get her mlb

[wind hazel]

mlb your zwei

[worn quest]

ok

[tender lotus]

Is it possible to 1shot the strength?

[rain bobcat]

yes, but november is just very fucked because of the stat buffs

you will need to have a fleet that can kill before shield for november because no vanguard is surviving past that point not to mention november boss has a shield that absorbs 20% of its hp every 20s

[tender lotus]

Stat buff? Did they increase some boss stat?

[rain bobcat]

november boss has a skill that increases all of its stats every 10s

basically by the time the shield spawns, the boss already has 50% more stats on top of 50% extra damage to ur vanguard

[tender lotus]

So this time strength is harder than last year's?

[rain bobcat]

bosses rotate with the exact same skill for the same month

last year's november boss is the exact same as this year's

[remote mauve]

Pity

[wind hazel]

sir nobody asked

[rain bobcat]

#trophy-room ???

[remote mauve]

Oh mb

[tender lotus]

Wrong channel

Alright I'll copy sushi's fleet and see what i get

[fierce lantern]

How good is unzen exactly I’ve got nearly every UR but her and Yorktown II, and Laffey II

[tender lotus]

Bruh I don't build kirovM who can replace her?

[wind hazel]

extremely strong vanguard dps

[wind hazel]

you're not gonna believe this, but kirov

only the 15% dmg taken buff anyway. kirovM has slow to it as well so it's kinda lesser substitute

[tender lotus]

Alright thanks

[dry tree]

is this good for Boss only? Erm, which CV usually would want this on their fighter slot?

[wind hazel]

usually used for single target bossing, most CV that has fighter plane slot can use it

[dry tree]

also if it doesn't have any AA can I assume it also uses rockets?

or just no AA straight up

[wind hazel]

think so, dont think non AA capable fighters are non rockets

or easier to say that all rocket fighters dont have AA capability

there are like 4 rocket fighters

[dry tree]

I see thanks

I haven't keep up with the equipments ever since Rafaello event

[astral basin]

i need help making a second fleet

[rain bobcat]

only rocket fighters dont have AA capability yeah

[honest tulip]

How do i get the xp tickets for expediting dr/pr ship construction?

[onyx flame]

Combat data packs? you really shouldnt be using them for the exp but to convert them into protocore

since exp is easier to come by then protocore (plus protocore shop got a load of useful gear)

[honest tulip]

Main problem is it feels like it's taking forever just to get 1 million xp for neptune

And that's just half of the xp required

[onyx flame]

are you using 3 royal navy vanguard? and what stage are you grinding exp at

[honest tulip]

6-1

[onyx flame]

if your not at chp 12 or even chp 9 you can just ignore it for now

[honest tulip]

And full royal navy fleets

[onyx flame]

yea i would just hold off and push campaign first anyway

[honest tulip]

Alright

[onyx flame]

thou rn there an event so do that first

[honest tulip]

Okay

[haughty skiff]

just gonna link this
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
https://azurlaneecgc.com/research/#shipyard_priority

you really shouldnt bother with farming research ships until much later; and they aren't even worth using until you fully develop them, which will take a month of coin-ups

[tulip tinsel]

grinding 6-1 is a waste of oil

[honest tulip]

Pretty much I don't care to bother much with them outside of unlocking Kearsarge, which still requires me to get about 430 eagle union points

[honest tulip]

Good thing I have over 40,000 oil

So nothing really wasted

[haughty skiff]

that isn't exactly why i linked the guide; you should really just work on pushing the campaign, it's significantly easier and not a waste of your time to grind in later chapters

[rose whale]

Best sub fleet and gear for them pls?

[honest tulip]

Yeah going to be doing that from now on, thanks

[wind hazel]

wrong pic lol sec

[tulip tinsel]

kear is useless if not dev 30 and it takes months to get the bp for her

[slow fox]

-# "best sub fleet"
-# 3 404s

[onyx flame]

wouldnt it be if you could

[wind hazel]

i said wrong pic

but 3 404 will be OP

[rose whale]

Think i can afford the rich version for 404, it's it better than what is in the Pic?

[desert epoch]

I just got back and have tons of Stamina/Oil, what should I spend it on

[wind hazel]

think so yes

dont quote me tho

[rose whale]

Thanks for the answers

Not like there is any use for ur torp design atm...

[haughty skiff]

event grinding (roughly like 10K~ , but more if you missed out on a few days of the daily 3x / daily missions) , or just the usual 120 12-4 grind

[wind hazel]

-# wtf random deoxys

[haughty skiff]

yeah i have pokemon emojis LMAO

[desert epoch]

Wtf is that Deoxys gif
Also thanks

[wind hazel]

any gardevoir? for... reason

[weak elk]

idk if i gave sandy the right gun her dmg seems kinda weak for a ur, is she mainly just for anti air?

[tulip tinsel]

show picture

[wind hazel]

well what did you give her

[desert epoch]

Man of culture, I see.

[rain bobcat]

event points you need is roughly 10k+3k/6k/9k/etc from grinding depending on how many days of dailies you've missed. Best thing to do after that is do abcd sp daily to reach 35k points

[haughty skiff]

, thats about it

[dawn scarab]

Is worth maxing out Akashi skill in Island Planner?

[wind hazel]

well yes, she's using a very basic gun...

pick your poison

[rain bobcat]

double asw is quite something and that AA gun is quite horrible

[wind hazel]

i still kept her in renhex site

[weak elk]

i have none of those guns

[wind hazel]

keep using that gun until you have the better gold gun then

twin 128 from gearlab, tashkent gun from core shop

[onyx flame]

z46 gun pretty cheap to craft if you done some opsi

[weak elk]

ill look into it darn uh...

guess ill just focus on event for now

[agile holly]

hey i am newish to this game i started 3 days ago but it feels like i am not making any progress at the moment, what should i focus on most?

[tulip tinsel]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/ , event

[agile holly]

alright thank you

[weak elk]

whats the meme comp for glowworm

[agile holly]

another question how can i level up a character decently fast without doing commissions?

[wind hazel]

exp books, but if you're new then you will only have limited amount of them

using them in sortie is the natural way

[agile holly]

i am not too new i am currently level 34 but can't get past 4-4

[wind hazel]

that sounds very new to me

[agile holly]

ah well i have no clue xd

[wind hazel]

reason of failure to progress

1. bad fleet
2. bad gear
3. combination of both

[agile holly]

i am currently using marseillaise, new jersey, yorck, tashkent, howe and yamashiro meta as my first fleet can you possibly tell me what i can change?

[wind hazel]

everything

[agile holly]

haha alright well where do i start?

[lean valley]

Follow that guide linked above

[wind hazel]

the guide you were sent above

[lean valley]

If nothing else, get yourself a unicorn

[agile holly]

so the starter fleet page?

[agile holly]

i do have her she is level 1 atm tho

[wind hazel]

you have some exp books in your inventory yes?

[agile holly]

yeah 201 tier 1s

[wind hazel]

Halo Reach, objective: Survive

[agile holly]

most of the stuff i don't know how to use

[paper nebula]

How long does it take oyu guys to farm a PR Ship? Cause idk if im farming it right? ive been farming one PR Ship for 2-3 months already... what stages do you spam or smth

[wind hazel]

12-1.

what the hell are you doing that takes 2-3 months are you using their required ships?

it's usually less than a week

[paper nebula]

Im farming Gouden Leeuw and using Iron Blood vanguards... i usually just farm on the B3s of events... maybe 12-1 is better??? you guys doing the 3-3 set up or 1-3 for the oil? does the level of the ships you use matter?

[lean valley]

B3 doesn't have oil cap, so you'd be murdering your oil

[wind hazel]

12-1 has oil cap lol, just 3:3

not to mention the meager exp from b3

[paper nebula]

i see im doing it as a way to farm both EXP and points for the event

[lean valley]

For events, spam at least d1, ideally d3 (3:3) and main campaign do 9+ worlds 3:3

[tulip tinsel]

if you want to farm event too do d3

[paper nebula]

I see thanks a lot guys... ive been wondering why the new PR ships catch up before i finish the previous one hahaha

[civic prairie]

May i know when is next new ur?

[onyx flame]

should be in dec

[rain bobcat]

[whole crypt]

don't quote me on this but new UR is probably going to start 18 Dec

[wind hazel]

[eternal basalt]

25 dec-7 jan... know 7 jan would get maint since orig Island Reset

[rapid summit]

Is it true a new Ur is supposed to come around December?

[wind hazel]

yes

[forest palm]

we can make an estimation either way by the live streams they done consecutively for the past 8 years or so

[barren cedar]

is the actual UR in the banner worth the 200 pulls for the pity?

[forest palm]

she's nice when current content is focused towards Heavy Armor, but that isn't the case right now

[barren cedar]

oh soo she is good but not the meta at the moment

i think i will get her, ty

[forest palm]

you only need to pull 1 copy either way, so if your luck isn't in the gutter, shouldn't need to hit pity

[barren cedar]

sadly, it is

[gilded carbon]

Put it into a Thread and give some context to the content the Fleet is for

[quiet kiln]

Whats the priority to buy from the event shop?

[gilded carbon]

Gun, really. Then BPs and the Mats to increase Ship-max lvl

Keep 8k back so you can buy the ship in the Shop should you not get a drop

[tulip tinsel]

tickets, gold cats

[gilded carbon]

Tickets for Gacha are also useful to get

[tulip tinsel]

chips oil coin

[stone sluice]

Gun, oil, tickets, chips

[grim siren]

Is this a good equipment for Light armor enemies?

[tulip tinsel]

yea

[agile patrol]

are there any other ships than unzen worth getting from the banner?
i got 2 unzens in 18 (mostly free) rolls. idk if i should keep going
I have 800+ cubes still 😭

[rain bobcat]

no

just use 3 tickets every day then dump tickets on last day

[agile patrol]

not even owari ?

[onyx flame]

owari a good bb but she's still sr bb so ur will outclass

[rain bobcat]

practically useless if you have URs

[sleek tulip]

Is it good?

[onyx flame]

Ya

[grim siren]

BIS CA gun for Light armour enemies

[agile patrol]

wroing gun
iom blind

[onyx flame]

Thats not even unzen gun?

[agile patrol]

shut up im gunslyxic

[agile patrol]

apparently so (correct image)

[grim siren]

Is Spearfish worth to craft?

[pearl quarry]

Is there any f2p method to obtain ring aside from the anniversary?

[tulip tinsel]

iirc valentine day might give one but not 100%

[pearl quarry]

Dang, buying a ring it's quite tempting but I only have 690 gems+ the dorm are quite expensive

[rain bobcat]

only august gives one

[grim siren]

They given out a free oath ring during the launch of private quarters

[eternal basalt]

They did?

[grim siren]

Yup

Now that I think about it... We should've gotten a free oath ring during the Launch of Island Planner...

[plain saffron]

why would we

there's nothing romance/relationship related

[crystal flume]

r these the only ship i need for cv reload fleet tech? i don't see any regular SR ship

[boreal wagon]

that + aquilla (aquilla has rld on obtain) are all yes

[crystal flume]

thank you! time to get aquila then

[forest palm]

if it gets you 42 RLD

[soft raft]

Aquila is also very useful outside of tech
UniKai+Aquila+Musashi is one of the strongest mob backlines in the game, esp in later campaign

[boreal wagon]

itd be 45 because they also included cvl

[forest palm]

CV and CVL are separate in terms of RLD though

[boreal wagon]

thats what im saying tho

jade wouldnt be there if it were only CVs

[forest palm]

anyway all 29 ships are accounted for

[sharp haven]

Hello everyone! I'm not new to Azur Lane; in fact, I've been playing for a long time. I've decided to play properly now, but I'm finding the whole team composition (especially PvE) and equipment thing a bit confusing. Is there a guide, or could someone give me a quick overview of how it all works?

[onyx flame]

Team comp guide doesnt really exist since everyone docks differs and it kinda depends on what your tackling but for gearing ships there are these
Just make sure to read the disclaimers
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide
https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/#legend

[pearl quarry]

I need an oath ring

[sharp haven]

thanks ❤️

[grim siren]

Well uhh... Do you have Gems?

[pearl quarry]

Yeah but not much

Wait does book of vows only apply to UR ship?

[grim siren]

Book of vows?

[pearl quarry]

Yeah

Whats the difference between book of vows and certificates vows?

[boreal wagon]

its just a different look there is no gameplay difference
(for context: Japanese, Chinese, META and Idolmaster ships all have their own oath background)

[wanton dagger]

Anyone rcm skins that is peak? I can buy 2 skins maybe 3

[onyx flame]

ngl thats more of a #al-general question

[tulip tinsel]

💳 time

[weak iron]

is this worth buying?

[warm latch]

no

[weary edge]

how come when i press recommend for commissions that require lvl 100 ships, it doesnt use any of the ones that i dont have in a fleet? is it because they're in operation siren? do they have to be completely free from any activity to be autofilled?

[weary edge]

definitely not at 27k coins, if ur one of those people with hundreds of thousands of coins to spare then maybe (but by then you'll probably have all the gear you'd ever need that you can get from tech packs). what i would recommend though is buying all the gold tech packs from the event shop (though that's after you buy the gun, cog chips/arrays, and blueprints)

[onyx flame]

iirc it trys to pick the lowest level after fufilling the req but idk if anyone really bother check other than that

[weak iron]

i cant clear this, do i farm lower stages?

[weary edge]

what fleet are you using?

[weary edge]

okay so i see you're following the guide that's good, is musashi max limit broken? and how close r u to unicorn retrofit

[warm latch]

swap musashi out for a mlb bb

[weary edge]

preferably hood or alabama, or oumi if u played during that event

[weary edge]

okay good keep working on that, uni retro is your top priority

[onyx flame]

owari works too if you got her from this banner

[weary edge]

though i wouldnt use any bulins on her yet in case u pull dupes of her from support tickets

[weak iron]

is it fine if i still use musashi even if no lb, its more fun

[onyx flame]

no she's missing like 2/3+ of her dmg

[weary edge]

you're missing out on a lot of damage, if u dont have her limit broken at all ur missing out on 2 extra salvos

[warm latch]

limit breaks are where a lot of your damage comes from

[weary edge]

usually general rule of thumb is dont use a ship if they're not mlb, since ur still very early game that rule's not as strict but you'd still want a mlb bb if you're gonna do hard mode event stages

also make sure you're using this gun or daisen gun on musashi

preferably daisen gun since a lot of the boss/humanoid nodes are heavy/medium enemies

@weak iron do you have hood built?

[weak iron]

i can buy her trought medal shop

[weary edge]

this my day one right here ❤️

[weary edge]

if u havent bought her yet then just buy alabama

alabama powercrept hood with her new augment

[weak iron]

at what captain level do i get enough bullins to mlb a ur

[weary edge]

uhh that doesnt really depend on commander level

but you get one from the event milestone, you get another from the battlepass (free)

[forest palm]

CMD LV doesn't reward you with stuff like that

[weary edge]

you can also get more from specialised core shop for 4000 specialised cores

you get 5000 every month, in addition to the ones you can buy in medal shop and from other external sources

[bold peak]

How do you get iris orthodoxy gear ? It's not even available on story drop

[weary edge]

wait for an event

[warm latch]

wouldnt recommend using ur bulins on musashi right now, wait until we see what new UR ship we get next month

[onyx flame]

either war archive/event or craft.
you can get the blue base from iris boxes that appears in shiranui shop evernow and then

[forest palm]

are you talking about gear lab crafting? there's blue boxes in the special shop

[bold peak]

Which war archive, any iris one?

[onyx flame]

it depends but farming war archive for gear isnt really worth it

[forest palm]

no gear is worth farming at this point from War Archive

[bold peak]

It didn't drop on d3 anyway

[onyx flame]

what bout cosmic kick

[bold peak]

Nah I'm just collecting

[weary edge]

you typically dont want to spend UR bulins on perma banner URs, on that note, perma exchange prio should be musashi -> shinano -> vanguard -> then whoever u want (in terms of getting copies of to mlb)

[forest palm]

pretty sure most of what you can get from any war archive you can practically craft in Gear Lab

[weary edge]

also mlbing URs is insanely expensive, it's like 30,000 coins just to go from 2nd lb to mlb

[onyx flame]

imo musashi might be worth using bulin on if you dont have any ur bbs (that what im doing anyway once i get one perma)

[bold peak]

Wasted 100 medals and all I get from a shop is the fighter one

[weary edge]

he's still going to need a second BB tho and you cant use penny forever lol, so id say for him he should get alabama since he didnt get hood

[onyx flame]

just get 5 owari from event banner ez

[weak iron]

should i try to get unzen?

[onyx flame]

depends on your cube count

[bold peak]

^

[onyx flame]

but you gotta rmb dal collab is next and dec has a new ur coming

[weary edge]

for now just stick to spending 3 support tickets daily and see what you're at near the end of the event

i wouldnt worry so much about the collab, dec UR tho 👀

[bold peak]

What's to come on dec ? New ur?

[weary edge]

2 new URs, probably eagle union

[onyx flame]

most likely a new UR

[bold peak]

Is yamato coming

[onyx flame]

never

[bold peak]

Ah okay

[weary edge]

yamato if i had to guess would be 10th JP anniversary

(so like in 2 years lmao)

[bold peak]

When is that

Next year?

[onyx flame]

2 years

[weary edge]

we just had 8th JP anniversary a month ago

[bold peak]

Gonna cash in life insurance by that time

[onyx flame]

but who knows, cause it most likely depend on where the story goes
all speculation anyway

[weary edge]

@weak iron but yeah do keep coming to this channel to ask for help/guidance, ive received so much help from a lot of great people that's helped me progress so far in just 2 and a half months, ive progressed farther than my friend who's been playing for almost 2 years

[tulip tinsel]

Another Iowa class would be nice

[weary edge]

we already have yorktown ii and essex retrofit, our last UR BB was new jersey so, i think we are due for a BB hopefully, and maybe a CL

[viscid swift]

who knows what it'll be

[weary edge]

BB with reload tech 🙏

[woven star]

Yeah BB with rld when I'm can't get Owari with +2Fp and 150 rolls. No Unzen, no Owari. Random can be sometimes cruel

[stoic forge]

what main gun should i give to sandy

[weary edge]

plymouth gun

[stoic forge]

are there cheaper option

[weary edge]

lol jk, marseillaise gun or donskoi gun

[onyx flame]

? give her a dd gun

if you want cheap z46 gun from gear lab

[weary edge]

icl i didnt know u could give her a dd gun

[tulip tinsel]

iirc dd gun better than cl on sandy

[weary edge]

ive been using donskoi gun on her 😭

[onyx flame]

if a cruiser can use a dd gun they should

[stark quiver]

Do you have a twin 100 Kai UR gun

[stoic forge]

yes 1

[errant jacinth]

hi I started two days ago and I was wondering on average how many pulls it'd take to get a UR? I'm like 70 in rn

should I expect to go to pity/200?

[stark quiver]

Sandy takes that
Assuming no other dd or cl needs it more

[sweet delta]

If you just started 2 days ago, it's not recommended to spend cubes on this banner. But simple maths says 1 / 0.012 = 83 builds, and complicated maths says that with pity the expected number of builds is 75 or 76 iirc

[errant jacinth]

oh should I just stop now then? also is this banner bad or smth?

[viscid swift]

well

we have a Date a Live Collab dropping next week to start with

[errant jacinth]

OH WHAT

[viscid swift]

yeah

stream is in a few days, revealing the new ships and skins

[errant jacinth]

does my pity carry over if I don't get the ur? or is it cooked?

[viscid swift]

Pitys only exist for URs and they don't carry over

[stark quiver]

Cooked

[errant jacinth]

then should I just keep pulling? I"m at 72 anyways so I should theoretically get smth soon?

also should I be grinding the event or main story rn?

[woven star]

I'm at 150 and no UR drops. So... Unzen is not smth special. Usually carry on backlines

[viscid swift]

I would personally not spend anything beyond tickets, I'd rather go for the collab and new UR next konth

and grind the event

[errant jacinth]

okay ty!

[sweet delta]

Theoretically you need another 70-something builds in expectation to get Unzen, because the 72 you've already done don't matter for probability except for the pity progres

[errant jacinth]

at least I got 2 owari so I can pretend that's worth it or smth

[sweet delta]

Fr Owari is more useful than Unzen for new players anyways

[woven star]

Yeah. +2 FP tech at least. Not bad traid

[errant jacinth]

fr fr? that's not crazy cope?

[sweet delta]

Ong

Literally put Owari in your fleet rn

She's about the third best gold BB

[errant jacinth]

she's been in there since day one (aka yesterday)

But better save cubes for December UR or date a live if you're interested

[errant jacinth]

I'll save for date a live then

for the formation should I just put all the golds & purples?

presumably they’re the best?

[sweet delta]

Show all ships, you already went wrong by using Dewey and takao and algerie

[knotty jolt]

Work on portland

[errant jacinth]

she's better than the golds & purples?

[knotty jolt]

Sorta

She is a very cheap and reliable tank that can be obtained easily

the way we calculate effective HP on ships is all centered around her aswell as her being the baseline 100%

[errant jacinth]

ohhh do I not have a tank already? is that why I keep dying past stage 4?

[sweet delta]

You didn't get the guide? https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[knotty jolt]

That can be part of it but it's a two way system between ships and gear

[sweet delta]

Use your level 1 Owari and a gold bulins to limit break the 71 owari

[errant jacinth]

I read it but I assumed that pennsylvania would be worse than golds/purples lol

[sweet delta]

Owari, Unicorn, Hiryu
Portland, Helena, Javelin should be your fleet

Well the guide certainly didn't say to use Takao or bad ships like algerie and dewey

[errant jacinth]

uhh I can't get a helena from the guild shop until next week

[knotty jolt]

She should be a drop on some map nodes

[sweet delta]

What did you buy

[errant jacinth]

unicorn

[onyx flame]

you can refresh the shop once using guild points

[sweet delta]

Please just read

[ripe bluff]

does black rock shooter want flag

[errant jacinth]

smth like this then?

[wind hazel]

hiryu hiryu hiryu hiryu hiryu hiryu hiryu hiryu

[errant jacinth]

and I assume I should limit break unicorn & helena too?

[wind hazel]

and portland javelin

basically limit break everyone you're using

[errant jacinth]

hiryu instead of pennsylvania?

[wind hazel]

yes

[errant jacinth]

and for gear, do I just put whatever I have for now?

[wind hazel]

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

[ripe bluff]

oh nice
BRS can be off flag no problem

[brazen lotus]

Does shimanto guns ghost aa scale with enhancements or is it the same at 0 and 13?

Does it take aa efficency or its own?

[vale spindle]

its skill dependant

has its own efficiency which iirc is 100%

[austere badge]

hi guys do you have any tips for getting cubes rather quickly? I really want to get Unzen and currently am 100 pulls deep, event done, and not a single event ship unlocked thus far, currently am at chapter 13 and cannot push any furthe because my level is too low, is there anything else i can do...?

[brazen lotus]

Ah thought so, no point upgrading just for aa then eh

[weary gust]

Cubes are something you accumulate over time. Only way to get them immediately is to spend real money, and even whales don't typically buy lots of cubes because of how much they cost.

With an upcoming collab and new UR event in December I would recommend giving up on Unzen. She isn't that useful tbh, even if she is strong, and she'll end up in perma pool eventually anyways.

[vale spindle]

The base damage does increase with skill level

So increasing skill level does increase the damage overall

[brazen lotus]

Just ment this gun, not on shim herself

[lethal harbor]

Can anyone who knows anything about this help? My game is acting strangely, playing audio and character animations, but the text insert doesn't appear. Also, the music in the port mixes up when the base melody is mixed with the customized one. What should I do?

[austere badge]

i see, thank you for your answer!

[tulip tinsel]

restart

[lethal harbor]

in which way?

[tulip tinsel]

you close the game and start it again

but the music mixing up i have it too probably it's a bug

[vale spindle]

ohhh
idk if it scales with enhance level, but it has its own reload and efficiency and range that are not ship dependant

[boreal wagon]

the skill text on my page links you to the stats of the ghost aa which also shows u its stats are constant

[brazen lotus]

Seems like a skill anyways

Just double checking, ty

[lethal harbor]

Having a ton of money, making a great, well-optimized game.❌

Having a ton of money, making crap that drains battery life like a behemoth and lags like crazy.✅

[lethal harbor]

The problem remains. Only the music started working as it should.

[tulip tinsel]

#tech-support then

[lethal harbor]

тщ

i have founded the problem

i needed to touch twice the message buttom

[lethal harbor]

thanks anyway

But the animation of the lion's chest is a disaster. It feels like they took two balls of liquid dough and started twisting and turning them. They could at least have made them firm.

[boreal wagon]

#game-feedback or #al-general

[spark patio]

should i keep those or i just retire them all? they take up about 50-70 of my dock rn

[errant jacinth]

what's the easiest way to farm money?

[viscid swift]

grinding

[errant jacinth]

grinding stages? like event/campaign

[forest palm]

usually 12-4 or D3 if you lack access to 12-4

[stark quiver]

motherfucker i bought the skins before i got the coupon

[forest palm]

sucks to suck

[errant jacinth]

D3?

[forest palm]

event stage

[errant jacinth]

ohh ok ty!

[onyx flame]

you can opt to keep the ones with useful lvl 120 fleet tech and for the rest mlb for faction tech then retire em

[stark quiver]

keep hard to obtain ships

[languid pendant]

i assume the EX stages in events are supposed to be basically impossible?
i've tried using DDs for evasion tanking, a mixed fleet and one of only CBs for the most health possible, so far the longest my fleets have survived has been 15 seconds

[tulip tinsel]

you have to dodge a lot of the projectiles, basically you need skill

[languid pendant]

oh, i'm supposed to manual this?

[tulip tinsel]

yea

[languid pendant]

oh

[tulip tinsel]

otherwise you will 99% be nuked

[onyx flame]

you want vanguard with invc skill to cover you sometimes but also slap on hp auxes since the boss has a 100% hit rate so eva is useless (iirc)

[rain bobcat]

does anyone remember how to unplug kearsarge's cables

[grim siren]

Is this a Good Opsi fleet?

[sweet delta]

you could make some changes, kick haku and add idk to mob fleet

Takemarus are likely not good, should use a purple CV cat and wtf how do you have 2 Kidds

[forest palm]

Lion should be flag, and Plymouth can tank ops content btw

[grim siren]

Ahh, about the 2 Kidd cats, while I was replacing my mob cats, with Kidd and Every, I've used "saved meowfficer" feature (Drake and Kidd) in the 1st fleet, and somehow it managed to duplicate Kidd, I don't know how it happened and how will happen if it encounters a cat node

[woven star]

Dam this random. 200 pulls and Unzen from pitypoints. Even Owari begun drops from last 20 pulls. Never believe statistics and chances. And pulls for sure unless have more than 400 cubes. 86 pulls they said

[rain bobcat]

??

[woven star]

Ah some sushi math

Old banners have different drop rate according to new? I mean something 1.2 vs 2% drops or I missremembered

[eternal basalt]

The rates never changed, in 8 years

[woven star]

I got Implacable and Unzen from pitypoints and other ships less in 100 pulls so seems just bad luck

[eternal basalt]

URs are 1.2%... out of 1.2%

[woven star]

Ok then

[eternal basalt]

You might get confused by ships in single events having a lower rate, 1.4% for Marseillas

[woven star]

I thought I so smth like 2% maybe that was elite ships. Not important anyways now

And one more. Best Bud from Owary said "when expired " but I can't find buff timing

[remote yarrow]

I think there can only be 1 Best Bud present at all times so 20s

[woven star]

And if she flag she count as BB and +25%? Not sure I ever use her unless 120 tech but want to know her some mechanic

[raven mural]

can anyone give gear ideas for her? i usually use the tierlist website but she hasnt been added yet
if you can give normal f2p gear, i mean no research specific or opsi stuff ive been lazy about grinding that ALOT, any and all help is appreicated thanks!

[knotty jolt]

What are you using her for tho cause that'll dictate gear options

[remote yarrow]

Yes, she can fulfill her 2nd skill requierements by being flag

[raven mural]

a generic build that covers all ive never of been a fan of always swapping gear so i try to make a universal gear set for them to be viable in any and all activities

[viscid swift]

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

[remote yarrow]

Well that's the problem with CVs, plane setup changes depending on the content you are doing and not a one fits all

[raven mural]

ok is she beter for mobbing or bossing? cause i tend to keep that seperated

[knotty jolt]

She's a bossing carrier with extreme heavy armor damage

[woven star]

She's heavy enemy niche. And usually tb,db,tb... other timing, synch and aircraft rates

[remote yarrow]

She can do both but excels against Heavy Armor bosses

[ionic kraken]

do y'all feel like the cruise pass is worth buying?

[raven mural]

lets do this then

[knotty jolt]

yes

[remote yarrow]

Read the linked guide

[remote yarrow]

Depends if you like the skin, if yes I'd say it's pretty worth it

[woven star]

Usually for skins and UI skin. Gems alone cheaper I guess. Never bought. Waiting for better UI

[raven mural]

again ty to all that helped

[gilded dune]

question does the specialized core from the choose your own gift pack go tword monthly or do you just get extra

[viscid swift]

don't know

[tulip tinsel]

prob extra

[stark quiver]

Who’s gonna take one for the team

[rapid shard]

Extra. I already hit my max for month and still got them

[eternal basalt]

Last year it was extra, doubt they changed it

[drowsy quest]

Need help for newbie to the game im complete lost just got a random team and loosing

[sweet delta]

Read https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/ and show the ships you have, you might have gotten Owari with free build tickets

[drowsy quest]

Thanks

[violet grail]

Are Eldridge retro and Independence retro reasonable ships to awaken to lv 125?

[stark quiver]

Eldridge yes

[atomic vortex]

Whos this gun for and is it good?

[sweet delta]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/#vanguard-weapons-ca-guns

[atomic vortex]

That's gas

[viscid swift]

What

[sweet delta]

That's not solid?

[stark quiver]

Boomer

[atomic vortex]

It's going on anyone but Unzen

Deffo for my mob fleet

[sweet delta]

Welcome to AL game design

[viscid swift]

hey, I can't keep up with all this gen z slang

[sweet delta]

This game is 17+ no cap

[atomic vortex]

You know how gasoline smells really good

Calling something gas means to say it's nice or good

[viscid swift]

I would argue it doesn't but okay

[atomic vortex]

98 Octane smells amazing

[eternal moth]

Gas doesn't smell good though...

[atomic vortex]

Perfect for roon

[sweet delta]

No, actually

[agile patrol]

this is the worst roon i have ever seen in my life

[atomic vortex]

And I care not

[sweet delta]

Aside from the three terrible purple gear in the middle, Roon prefers high raw DPS gun because she changes the ammo type

[agile patrol]

(i dont know anything about roon)

[sweet delta]

But you're a new player so nvm, you probably don't have other rainbow CA guns

[atomic vortex]

Nope

[atomic vortex]

Most ships got what I have and I tried to somewhat follow this but just don't have much of anything

[slow fox]

-# I had just enough UR AA mats and T4 AA plates to craft 6 US UR AA guns

[wind hazel]

surely you have eva aux, even blue ones

[atomic vortex]

Nope scrap everything Blue or lower

[stark quiver]

[wind hazel]

craft it again

[viscid swift]

well that's a mistake

[agile patrol]

????
u scrapped every single blue you had??

[forest palm]

it's just that easy open some boxes

[agile patrol]

re: https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Thebombzen/Safe_To_Scrap_MK_II

[atomic vortex]

Ye🤷

[agile patrol]

you shouldnt do that, johnnyshitterhands5

[wind hazel]

you can't scrap blueprints anyway, just craft them again

[atomic vortex]

No BPs

Got boxes but I'll open those later

[leaden mountain]

how do u lb a shipyard ship?

[knotty jolt]

Using their blueprints

[viscid swift]

you get blueprints for them from the research academey

[soft raft]

you use blueprints to increase their dev levels
D10, D20, and D30 are LB1, LB2, and MLB respectively

[leaden mountain]

so i'd need to get all 481 for agir???

[soft raft]

Yes

[leaden mountain]

[ripe bluff]

gives raffaello best anti medium bossing gun
raffaello isnt even a bosser

[viscid swift]

there's a reason behind that even if it is a bit roundabout

[leaden mountain]

is there a fast way of getting the blueprints? i only have 110 if i were to use all my general bp

[atomic vortex]

If it's anything to save my already generational aura loss my NJ isn't too bad I think

[wind hazel]

you can buy agir's blueprints with coin

[knotty jolt]

Depending on the ship they will have a catchup for prints you can do

[viscid swift]

I mean to dev 30 an entire season you're still looking at around 3 months minimum and that's with a lot of cubing

[wind hazel]

better dd gun, give AA gun with HIT, that's about it

[leaden mountain]

i just used all my cubes for unzen and couldnt pull her 😔

[wind hazel]

... and upgrade skill

[knotty jolt]

You have my condolences... But I'd have waited going that hard for her tbh.

[leaden mountain]

i usually get lucky and i thought 100 would be enough to atleast get her once

[viscid swift]

because what AL does is they take a lot of inspiration from World of Warships and the gimmick of Italian Battleships, Marco Polo in particular(she's based on the UP-41, same as Raffaello) is SAP which does huge amounts of damage to "medium" armor

[atomic vortex]

I don't really need her second skill to be leveled

[ripe bluff]

someone brief me on whats so good about the ryusei kai
the torps arent even aimed

[wind hazel]

yes you do

[leaden mountain]

since i cant mlb my agir for now should i mlb any of these?

[viscid swift]

you kidding me
Decreases the Spread Range of this ship's equipped Main Gun by 0.5 (5). When a fleet this ship is NOT in starts a battle, and while this ship is still afloat: fires a Lv.1 (Lv.10) supporting barrage 20s after the battle starts (DMG is based on the skill's level); if the Flagship of said fleet is an Eagle Union ship: also increases AVI by 5% (15%) for your Eagle Union CVs and CVLs.

[knotty jolt]

more damage

[viscid swift]

the reduced spread alone is not an insigificant upgrade

[atomic vortex]

Not that important imo

[ripe bluff]

even when some of them miss?

[wind hazel]

well your opinion is dead wrong

[viscid swift]

I'm telling you it's important

as a rule of thumb, you should max the skills of any ships you use

[wind hazel]

make them not to miss with slow/freeze support

[ripe bluff]

hmm

[soft raft]

??
They are aimed/converging TBs

Which like Mori said, need slow/freeze support to avoid completely whiffing

[atomic vortex]

That's the best secondary she's gonna get that I have

[ripe bluff]

wait they are?
mustve been some built in torp bombers that werent then

[soft raft]

Yes
It's literally a straight upgrade to the Ryusei

[wind hazel]

yes that's fine, the better one comes from gear lab

[ripe bluff]

also are purple cats better in the second slot than gold I keep seeing people put them there

[wind hazel]

depends which cat you're talking about

[ripe bluff]

i c

[atomic vortex]

Literally never touched the gear lab and know 0 about ut

[leaden mountain]

any help?

[viscid swift]

those all of your URs?

[wind hazel]

if you want better gear, start doing opsi and get materials for gear lab

[leaden mountain]

besides traf lion and zwei who r mlb already

[wind hazel]

it's usually only bishamaru gets put in staff slot, but even then i don't think it make or break the cat comp maybe im wrong. the rest the gold cat gets command slot most of the time

[viscid swift]

honestley I'd wait to see what happens in December

[leaden mountain]

🫡

[stark quiver]

Do you guys have perfect cats

[knotty jolt]

i think mori does

or atleast a near perfect
