gameplay-help

[viscid swift]

Still too much

And if you did try and go best in slot for everything well that was a bloody mistake

[rain bobcat]

1 gear is what, 12k if you crafted from gearlab

so that's minimum 15 gears

[whole crypt]

it takes like 30k at most to craft one piece of rainbow and enhance it to 13

[spare furnace]

Well, I had to craft gold gears to craft rainbow ones.

[rain bobcat]

what exactly did u craft

[clear harbor]

You all are making me feel very inadequate with my gear collection. 🤣

[rain bobcat]

did you go as much as getting the BiS of each slot

[soft raft]

and even then you realistically only need like on average 3 of any given UR gear

[verbal plinth]

longer you play more you get its ok dont feel down about it

[spare furnace]

2 or 3 of 155mm Kai Navel, 3 or 4 of RF MK 37, 2 Fairey Gannet, 2 or 1 Wyvern, 2 or 3 Tenrai, 1 Spearfish, and 1 Twin 410mm.

I think these were it.

Tho, to craft rainbow ones. I almost had to craft golden ones for all of them.

[viscid swift]

the UR AAs, Tenrais, and Spearfish were really all unecessary

I also presume you just completely ignored the notes in the gear lab guide then

[spare furnace]

There was note? I just followed the picture, lmao.

[viscid swift]

like
"Rated worse for new SKK compared to the Wyvern because it is overall cheaper and easier to craft while giving similar results." - Spearfish

I mean this
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab

also for the quick gear guide
"This is not strictly a crafting guide, and as such, don't treat all pieces listed in this guide as safe to craft.

[clear harbor]

I figure that's the case. Can't help but feel jealous of all the veteran players, though. 😄

[spare furnace]

I just looked the this.

[viscid swift]

like, this is literally right at the beginning

[spare furnace]

Well, I was blind to it.

[viscid swift]

fortunately for you all that gear is useful but you only have yourself to blame for inflicting yourself with a 200k price tag for something that should have cost at the absolute max less than half that

[viscid swift]

here's another tip, read the guidelines and notes of the guides

[clear harbor]

Reading is OP

Question, how good is Ark Royal? Is she useful as slow support for Hakuhou for bosses (for example, instead of Implacable who I don't have)?

Or am I better off with a different main ship and Bismark Zwei's black hole?

[rain vine]

do you have avp?

[onyx flame]

freeze would be better like avp^

[clear harbor]

Okay cool.

I have AVP, but AVP will be a while until Dev 30.

It seems like I misunderstood AVP's ability. I thought the freeze duration might not be long enough to support other bombers.

[onyx flame]

you want her at fs5 to guarantee the freeze so it definitly take like 2 months at 10 bps coined a day

[clear harbor]

Cool.

I'm working on Chesire right now (Dev 29), but can switch to AVP next.

Wait, follow-up question, 2 month to fully fate sim? Or 2 months to dev 30 + fat sim?

[onyx flame]

2 months for dev 30 + fs5

a lil bit less since its 343 + 165
so about 51 days at 10 bps

[clear harbor]

Cool.

Yeah, looking back, I think it was the 75% chance that gave me pause. Didn't know that fate simming would get that to 100%.

[onyx flame]

could cut it down to 42 days if your willing to fork over like 2.1k more coins a day and buy 12 instead but idk how your coins be looking like

[clear harbor]

My coin income isn't great since I'm farming all the events. So I don't have good coin-to-oil efficiency.

7 BP a day is doable. But I'm also investing 6 BPs a day into Agïr.

[onyx flame]

how far are you into the event, cause technically there no real need to farm it if you collect all the stages daily bonus + sp for all 7 days

[clear harbor]

I also whale for most non-URs. : /

[clear harbor]

29,000. Would it make sense to stop after the last copy of Asanagi? Or go for gold plates?

[onyx flame]

always go for gold plates, imo you can stop farming the event and just do the dailies bonusfor the rest of the events

just rmb to low cost A/B/Cto save on oil

[clear harbor]

Is that pretty common? I've been just doing D3 for the EXP.

[onyx flame]

for rerun you can technically coast by with just the daily bonus and sp

like if you do it for all 7 days you get 4700 pts a day which nets you 32900 pts by the 7th day

[clear harbor]

Ohhhhhhh. So low oil ABC for bonus?

[onyx flame]

and that doesnt include all the mission etc

[onyx flame]

yea i just run a 1:1 fleet and call it day

D stages i just run a normal one since its oil capped

[clear harbor]

Oh, dang. I didn't think about that. Another thing I misunderstood. Good to know for the next rerun.

I don't always have time to make it to SP the first day, but presumably I can just make that up with a few extra D3 runs.

[onyx flame]

p much, technically you overcap on points from the event missions which gives a bunch of leeway but you should also check how much stuff you want to buy from the event shop to deem if its enough

[slender turtle]

Whats the best subs for the highest level sub weekly mission?

[weary edge]

tempesta ships lol

i think royal fortune can solo it lol

[north gorge]

Yeah she can

[slender turtle]

Fackk i dont have them leveled lol

[rain vine]

just use 3 normal subs

[weary edge]

nobody does 😂

[tidal dust]

Do you need to manual the ex? Or can you do it on auto?

[sweet delta]

You can do it on auto with four +13 la9

[slender turtle]

I just did the daily, with 404, u-96, and u552. Was awful, but did it, ty all

[quasi vigil]

is ulrich best as a flagship?

[rain vine]

you want her off flag

[soft raft]

Her whole gimmick revolves around her being off flag
Otherwise she's just FdG lite

[quasi vigil]

okok thanks

[cobalt gate]

how does laffey 2 barrier work?

[whole crypt]

they can make it at around lv90-100 with semi-decent gearing

[cobalt gate]

so it isn't an invincibility?

[whole crypt]

nope

[cobalt gate]

i see, was thinking of using her for ex auto

[stark quiver]

she isnt bad for ex auto

[whole crypt]

if I remember correctly some EXs ignored some part of her skills, may have been the damage capping

[jagged marlin]

Any fleet ideas to beat Unzen EX?

[whole crypt]

so it's not a straight yes for Laffey II

I remember Tashkent gaming in the original run but that's manual

[stark quiver]

its the new ones

[whole crypt]

Unzen should be one of those where it's an issue if you trigger challenge mode

[cobalt gate]

welp i don't think its possible to auto this ex

[sweet delta]

maybe not for you

[jagged marlin]

I'm trying myself, but Z-52 and plymouth just say bye bye in first few seconds ;D

[sweet delta]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1gcCtBBEVM/?spm_id_from=333.1387.list.card_archive.click

[jagged marlin]

No Wichita Meta 🥀

[cobalt gate]

yeah don't think i can 1 shot

[stark quiver]

what armor is this boss

bet

[jagged marlin]

she is doing too much BS dmg

Laffey II with Manjuu can't outlive it even on Manual ;D

[rapid shard]

Whats the armor type of the current Arbiter?

[onyx flame]

med iirc

[rapid shard]

Thanks

[rain bobcat]

just get better

people in the top 10 are doing lvl 1 laffii and succeeding lol

[jagged marlin]

Looking forward to see clear like this

[knotty jolt]

sushigummy has a video of this https://youtu.be/BD7m3RqZ3HA

It literally just comes down to dodging

[jagged marlin]

Well, i guess i'll try on PC when i get home

[wanton dagger]

I got one unzen should i continue summoning for her?

[rain vine]

no

[polar solar]

is there a quick way to check if ship has fleet technology

[cobalt rapids]

wiki or aldb

[sweet delta]

This is ALDB https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/tracker

[cobalt rapids]

u can checkingame in fleet tech tab but menu nav-ing ingame is slower than pulling a new tab and searching the name

[polar solar]

yeah, wish they allowed name search for fleet tech page

[wanton dagger]

How to increase eva fast? I have equip all my gear with eva stat and i still have 100 eva to go

[knotty jolt]

Fill the other fleet with ships

You don't need to even use them, just having the other fleet filled for the stat requirements

Also use the adjust button to move Portland to the front

[woven star]

DDs have high eva stats

[wanton dagger]

I'm new so if i fill the other team i'll need to lv up them to 90

[knotty jolt]

Depends how far the average level would dip

[atomic abyss]

The only alternative is to swap Portland for a DD of a similar level

Or a shit ton of evasion gear maybe

[sleek spade]

Hey guys when can we expect a gear lab update?

[atomic abyss]

🔮

[wanton dagger]

It required 90 average

[atomic abyss]

In the past we get one in January and July
But otherwise 🔮

[sleek spade]

very sad. I really need the rocket F6F...

[whole crypt]

it requires >90 average i.e. 90.1 is ok, 90 isn't
if you have any other 2 lv88 or 89 ships that can fill second fleet slot reqs you should be good

actually with your current totals you only need a total of 151 levels in the second fleet

[knotty jolt]

Average lv is not the same as required level

[whole crypt]

you only need 151 levels in fleet 2, preferably 1 CV+1 DD

[woven star]

And use Adjust button. Portland should be in left most slot btw

[slow fox]

-# Wow that's 25 levels per ship

[safe nexus]

how do anyone beat event EX

i cant even dodge and they hit like a truck

[knotty jolt]

Dodging better

[rain vine]

a lot of trial and error of learning the attack patterns

[knotty jolt]

Also beaver badge praise be

[safe nexus]

😭 i also see the boss with ??? hpbar what does that do

[whole crypt]

fairly sure it takes like 100 hits or something

[knotty jolt]

That's what you kill to win

[safe nexus]

i see ty

do i use 1 ship to move faster? and have main fleet do the dmg

[rain vine]

yes

[knotty jolt]

@safe nexus here is a video of sushi doing it with lv1 ships

[safe nexus]

lvl 1 amazing

ty

[whole crypt]

basically you just need to get like 100 hits or something into the shadow thing and Unzen will drop dead in a few seconds, how you do it is

back in the day I think the highscoring combo was with Tashkent

[knotty jolt]

Is the shadow dragon close enough for Odin's aux guns to hit?

[whole crypt]

don't think so and that's kind of slow anyway

[knotty jolt]

I mean sushi used Fritz's aux to assist

[whole crypt]

stig's run works out because the 2 ships have fairly high bullet count with barrages that will hit the shadow even without leveling the ships

plus Laffey II just pretty much survives anything that doesn't ignore/negate her skill

[knotty jolt]

Did a check an Odin's guns hit by a technicality, they're aiming at unzen and the AP pierces to hit the dragon

[whole crypt]

well you could try it does add some hits

with any luck her lightning provides significantly more hit count though

[rapid shard]

For those of us who dont have Laff2, who would be decent vanguards to use?

[rain bobcat]

prob needs levels

I don't think anyone is half as tanky as laffey at lvl 1

[rapid shard]

No way in hell im pulling off a Lv1 run lol I just want a basic clear for the rewards

[wind hazel]

helena, dodge better

or whatever ship really, fast moving one is also good

[cobalt rapids]

doesnt eldridge work

[wind hazel]

she should

[warped acorn]

how to do this ex

[wind hazel]

dodge

[warped acorn]

ahh

[wind hazel]

you can use triple healer to make it easier

[whole crypt]

tashkent is good

[slow fox]

[crude basin]

could someone help me with fleet building

[wind hazel]

sure open a thread

[crude basin]

Fleet building help

[eager marsh]

Do you guaranteed to pull a ur before 200 or the guaranteed comes from the pity?

[rapid shard]

At pity is only guaranteed UR

[eager marsh]

So you can get to 200 pulls without pulling a ur?

[rapid shard]

Yes

[eager marsh]

My frickin curse

[heavy zealot]

Who to lb

[atomic abyss]

Implacable when you have 4 bulins
Don't use them otherwise

[heavy zealot]

Imma save my bullins, 2 rn, i believe i can the other 2 soon

[heavy zealot]

Is ryusei kai enuf forr her?

[wind hazel]

musashi>implacable

[heavy zealot]

Whaa, who do i rlly upgrade

[wind hazel]

musashi is the better pick

you can ask for a 3rd opinion

[heavy zealot]

A bb?i already got lion and nj as my bb for now

[wind hazel]

ok, show all your UR right now

[wind hazel]

wait for Dec UR lmao

[atomic abyss]

Yeah I'd just wait at that point

[wind hazel]

even then i'd still mlb musashi before implacable

[heavy zealot]

Dec ur?, btw, do i keep pulling unzen?

[atomic abyss]

With tickets yes
Cubes no

[wind hazel]

no, just use tickets

[heavy zealot]

Hmm, i just redownloaded.... Do we think i can grind enuf to get the event gun thing before event ends

[wind hazel]

yes

[covert sierra]

Is there a faster way to recover mood of the ship?

[wind hazel]

morale? put them in dorm 2nd floor

[sleek spade]

Hey guys do I really need to play the new island mode or is it optional?

Does it give anything good or is it just like dorm that ppl play for fun?

[wind hazel]

optional, but it gives affinity item which can be beneficial if you're lazy to grind them especially on sub

[eternal basalt]

And gems for a LOT of play

[whole crypt]

getting useful amounts of affinity items is also fairly troublesome

[eternal basalt]

Fairly easy after the restart... r maybe it's because I am high level now

[wind hazel]

just do the daily that give 2k coin

do it everyday and you can buy out all the affinity item with extras

[fiery swan]

can Ryu Lion actually tank at least in mob

and how good is Hestia

[robust onyx]

Hestia is trash

[wind hazel]

yes

[tender lotus]

What to focus on techs?
These are mine
From left: DD CL CA BM CB BC BB BBV CVL CV SS SSV IXv IXm IXs AR AE

[rain bobcat]

vg fp and cruiser eva

[forest palm]

missing CV hit, CVL RLD, BB Hit...

missing BB FP

[tender lotus]

BB has 97 max fp

[forest palm]

anyway for vanguard EVA(Cruiser) → FP → TRP → Hit → RLD → AA → ASW → HP

[fossil vale]

Will-be new player here for when DaL update drops - how fucked/good would a new player be in pulling for the upcoming characters?

[wind hazel]

pray to your favourite deity for good luck

[muted wind]

only half of them are gacha-only, so you may be fine. i'd start now to at least save up a few cubes tho. and to maybe be able to clear more of the event

[forest palm]

AL doesn't front load you with pull currency btw

[soft raft]

We currently don't even know much more about them besides their appearance, rarity, and hulltype until the datamine drops

[fossil vale]

Alrighty

[cobalt robin]

new ur will be in december right?

[forest palm]

late Dec most likely

[cobalt robin]

i had to pity unzen so my cubes kinda fucked

plus i wanna pull on date a live collab

[forest palm]

💳

[cobalt robin]

i only swipe for skins and rings

i thought i would have enough for everything but pitying unzen was rough, now im at 250 cubes

[rain bobcat]

shouldn't have pulled unzen lol

[cobalt robin]

i wanted her

[whole crypt]

priorities

[weary edge]

unzen isnt exactly useful right now though, you probably wouldve been better off saving ur cubes for december UR

[forest palm]

even in the content she's useful for she wasn't absolutely necessary

[cobalt robin]

eh its whatever, i wanted her so pulled

thats just how i play

waifu > meta

[weary edge]

lowk goated dont let the Man tell you what to do

[forest palm]

then be prepared to spend it's gacha

[cobalt robin]

i got to 15-2 by using ships i like so ill keep at it

[weary edge]

oh okay i mean if ur that far into the game then i dont think anything matters anymore

[cobalt robin]

yea but my collection isnt very far sadly

[weary edge]

it’s okay i started two and a half months ago mine isnt that good either

[cobalt robin]

for me its been like 8 months

[median prism]

Prinz adalbert good?

[cobalt robin]

meh

[median prism]

Better than portland or roon?

[desert epoch]

She good? I just pulled without much thinking

[tulip tinsel]

if you can mlb her yes, if you can't no

[cobalt robin]

roon is def better

[forest palm]

now that's taking the piss

[tulip tinsel]

roon better

[median prism]

But better than portland for 2nd fleet?

[hoary relic]

roon is definitely better, with her augment

[hoary relic]

im pretty sure by the time u do need 2nd fleet, u wont use portland

[cobalt robin]

probably not but ada not worth investing

[hoary relic]

cuz u will have ply or ancho

[cobalt robin]

portland is much cheaper

[median prism]

I alr have 2nd fleet lol

[cobalt robin]

what chapter are you at?

[hoary relic]

for what chapter?

[median prism]

11

[hoary relic]

meh u dont need 2nd fleet for chapter 11 or even chapter 12

[median prism]

Not a particular strong 2nd fleet but its a backup

[hoary relic]

just use lv gap to smash chapter 11 and 12

[hoary relic]

2nd fleet isnt needed, at all

[median prism]

This my first fleet

[hoary relic]

go for roon while gaining tech points to unlock ancho

[median prism]

Im thinking of putting Roon, Eldrige and 1 more in a team

[hoary relic]

roon is definitely better than adal and portland, either with her augment

[median prism]

Who would u suggest

Im deciding between Helena, San Diego and Unzen

Well unzen once i get more UR Bulin

[hoary relic]

unzen is niche actually

[median prism]

Welp guess im gonna save my wisdom cubes for the eventual Sov.Soyuz rerun

[unkempt mortar]

can the discounts stack
like i have the -180 from black friday pass, and lets say i buy the 10 bucks lucky bag that gives me -300
do i get -480 in total or do i have to use the -180 first to get to the -300

[median prism]

Soo helena or diego

[onyx flame]

they dont stack, from what i know -180 coupon applies to anyskin not just reruns, but 300 only applies to rerun

[median prism]

For a mob fleet

[hoary relic]

for what purpose?

[unkempt mortar]

well what if im buying a rerun in the end

[soft raft]

If your Eldridge isn't retrofitted yet, perish the thought of using her for the time being

[onyx flame]

still doesnt im pretty sure

[median prism]

She is retrofitted

Thats why i wanna use her

[unkempt mortar]

i kinda want to try it out but im scared to lose my money over this lmao

[hoary relic]

pmaybe just put her in your main fleet

replacing portland

[median prism]

Replace z23?

[onyx flame]

it doesnt, i had both coupons for a bit but when i got around to buying i could only apply one iirc

[median prism]

Eldrige can tank?

[tulip tinsel]

no

eldridge extremely squishy

[onyx flame]

eld can tank thou

[unkempt mortar]

wait does that mean u got to choose which coupon u want to use?

[hoary relic]

for w11 and w12, eld has no problem tanking

[tulip tinsel]

if her inv skill activates she can but otherwise nuked

[median prism]

Isnr replacing z23 better..

And replacing portland with roon

[onyx flame]

there is an option for it

[hoary relic]

compared to eld: no

[median prism]

...isnt eld like one of the best DDs

And z23 very meh

[hoary relic]

ye that's why replacing portland with eld

[median prism]

Im gonna replace portland with Roon tho...

[hoary relic]

i mean if u have eld retrofitted, there are no reasons to use roon

[median prism]

...wha...

[onyx flame]

they are in theory competing for the same spot as tank, you dont really need more than 1 for a fleet unless your up against something that just melts vanguard

[hoary relic]

as i said u dont need 2nd fleet at all if u r not going for w13 yet

1 fleet is totally enough for w11 and w12

[fast steppe]

who should i be looking to lb next

[hoary relic]

🤔 hakuhou and laff 2 i guess

btw, level up your traf tho

[drowsy quest]

Is she good? To swap for any of my team?

[soft raft]

Decent, but eh I wouldn't really bother with her for now

Namely because it's cheaper to raise Z23 and rn you don't really have much resources to spare for raising multiple SRs

[winter plover]

AVP is the best slow support I can get without RNG on pull ?

[soft raft]

she gets better at FS5 when her proc chance becomes 100%

There's also Admiral Nakhimov who can have her slow upgraded to a freeze if she's with another Russian slow (which ends up being Soyuz 99% of the time)

[winter plover]

And do we have any vanguard ship can debuff slow

[tulip tinsel]

agir or eld

[soft raft]

There are a few, but their usability in place of backline ones can vary

Agir isn't really known for her slow and in some cases Eldridge's can work well enough

[winter plover]

My girl Hakuhou is using Ryusei (converging toperdo bomber), so I want to help her can hit boss 100%

[hoary relic]

no implac?

[winter plover]

No implac

[onyx flame]

avp fs5 is your best choice then

[winter plover]

thank you

[rain bobcat]

agir needs heavy tech to be consistent in slowing

[forest palm]

who uses Agir, or Roon U for their slow

[elfin hollow]

what is skin projection?

[ripe bluff]

are DDGs ever worth using in main fleet

[forest palm]

allows you to have multiple of the same PR/DR as your secretary with different outfits

[ripe bluff]

Ive been using fushun main fleet exclusively on my cheap fleet because she was like the cheapest thing I could throw into my main fleet

[elfin hollow]

is it worth spending 400 on?

[onyx flame]

not a lot of shipyard ships have like more than 3 skins

[ripe bluff]

do subs cost extra oil

[blissful hamlet]

What are all the new ship? No I don't need pictures, I need name hull type and rarity, and no I can't read Japanese

[hoary relic]

u mean DAL collab?

[covert sierra]

Should I go and MLB her or just wait and save it for other ships?

[wind hazel]

#date-a-live-livestream-discussion message

[wind hazel]

you're missing 1 bulin, just wait til dec

[hoary relic]

we will have a new UR in dec right?

[wind hazel]

yes

[onyx flame]

1, mayhaps 2

[blissful hamlet]

All gold ship :god:

[hoary relic]

btw what is better for lion white shell or 6crh?

[onyx flame]

3 is gacha, 2 is points, 1 is map/shop

[blissful hamlet]

:OMEGOD:

[covert sierra]

I need 5 copies/bulin for MLB UR ship?

[wind hazel]

4

[south sequoia]

White

[wind hazel]

o you got unzen dupe

[onyx flame]

there a lvl 1 unzen locked for some reason

[wind hazel]

i thought that was the one you have lol

use the dupe, save your bulin until dec, doesn't change anything

[covert sierra]

Ok👌

[violet grail]

I just pulled warspite, how worthwhile is it to invest in her? I see in evaluations it says she's like UR lvl BB but worst of them within that category. My best BB is still Oumi, second best alabama. I just started unlocking FdG a couple days ago after finally getting enough ironblood points so its still gonna be a while till I actually get her and dev 30 her.

[onyx flame]

imo i wouldnt bother, but thats cause it cost both spec core and a boat load of coins for mediocre

[violet grail]

Alright thanks for confirming my suspicions.

[onyx flame]

still gotta 120 her someday thou cause hit stat

[violet grail]

I've been spending all my merit points on Ironblood ships for a while so havent been getting much gold bulins so uh she can wait.

[onyx flame]

wonder if someone wrote down the cost for her retro somewhere

[weary edge]

so bulin splitting is a never, but when it comes to dupes of a character it's okay to use even when not going to mlb right?

[onyx flame]

yea just yeet the dupe in, they only eat dockspace after all

[weary edge]

true

[violet grail]

just to free up dock space really, dupes arent rly needed, and you cant use it to limit break anyone else anyways

[onyx flame]

yeesh plus another 21k for aug

[violet grail]

i aint swimming in T3 retro blueprints like that sheesh

[safe nexus]

how long will the DAL collab last?

[zenith heron]

That would be December 3

[safe nexus]

not that long i see 😭

[swift vector]

best emulator for azur lane? bluestacks, mumu player keeps freezing

[limpid moon]

Not really a best but I use ldplayer

[swift vector]

did they fix it so it safes the window size?

[limpid moon]

Wym?

[safe nexus]

how many gems would the kurumi skin be?

[onyx flame]

its dynamic so like 980 ~ ish prob

[viscid swift]

Dynamic so 980-1080

[safe nexus]

if i include wallet what are the ways to get gems

most effectively

[swift vector]

window size like bluestacks so it doesnt start in fullscreen

[onyx flame]

any of the 2x bonus

[safe nexus]

peak ty

[limpid moon]

At least for me it doesn’t start in fullscreen

[swift vector]

ah probably fixed then

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 💳.

[sharp comet]

@wind hazel my goat 🐐 pls tell me what u used

[swift vector]

ld player so unresponsive for me

[sharp comet]

mumu player is the best

[covert sierra]

Is there an example of the trust event points?

[viscid swift]

like half of the little ships

basically you get trust from clearing main campaign and event stages

[covert sierra]

Ohh like the one from danmachi for Hestia?

[viscid swift]

numbers should be pretty much idential to this
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Soar_Fledgling_Wings!

[viscid swift]

yep

[jolly basin]

When is the funny date a live update? 😮

[ivory pawn]

Thursday Nov 20th at the usual maintenance time.

[pure jasper]

how many wisdom cubes would one say is a good amount for the collab coming up

[tulip tinsel]

as much as you can get

[onyx flame]

there no pity so you could get shafted

[pure jasper]

welp i only got like 300 so ig i should get to grinding again

its in like 3 days so i might be cooked anyway hopefully i pull something in my 300 lols

how many could i possibly grind before it leaves? hopefully the event gives a good amount

[tulip tinsel]

just noting that new ur in dec

[pure jasper]

im cooked smh prob not getting that ur

[onyx flame]

~~ez just get all 3 collab unit in first 3 pull ~~

[pure jasper]

i like the way you think

the gamba giveth and the gamba taketh away

[tulip tinsel]

got unzen for free

[pure jasper]

i got unzen in my first 10 tix to kek

a good 20 saved there

[turbid marsh]

eh, just new ur, you don't get to use hakuhou that often too, maybe you can be optimistic about the new ur not getting any gameplay XD

[pure jasper]

one can pray kek

know what maybe its for the best ngl

i have 0 ur bullins in stock rn lols

[onyx flame]

ez just get 5 ur in the first 10 pulls

[urban lodge]

What’s the best meowfficr?

[ripe bluff]

whats the best DD for AA

[onyx flame]

prob laff2

[ripe bluff]

dont have whos next

[ivory pawn]

Check out the cat guide, but note you really only care about BB, CV, and maybe SS cats. https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide

Also Every and Drake are better than most non-perfect cats if you have them.

[rain vine]

traf or z52

[ripe bluff]

k

anyhow am I going to be fucking stupid for running 3 tempestas in a fleet
I really want the extra ammo

[onyx flame]

fairly cause they give no AA so you just get planed to death

also depends on what stage your playing auto pick up ammo now if it exist

[vestal lark]

whats the go to submarine fleet? KMS or USS?

[sweet delta]

3 Tempesta doesn't give more ammo than 1 Tempesta

[sweet delta]

Flasher I-404 plus one of archerfish homura

[ripe bluff]

wait they dont stack?

[vestal lark]

archerfish homura???

[ripe bluff]

breh

guess ill bring hestia

also is auto loader still the best aux for BB rld behind fire control tower because you cant have 2

[sweet delta]

Hestia and 1 Tempesta gives the same ammo as just Hestia

The surface fleet ammo max is 6

[vestal lark]

sorry whos homura?

[sweet delta]

But submarine fleet can have more ammo for more Tempesta round shot

[ripe bluff]

bruuuuuuuh

[vestal lark]

Ah i see okay okay thank you

[blissful berry]

I have a question about collabs, can I ask here or do I go somewhere else

[ivory pawn]

Is it gameplay related?

[viscid swift]

if you don't know just ask and we'll tell you if it's appropriate or not

[blissful berry]

Aight

Is there a chance we'll ever get a rerun

[rain vine]

not 0, but dont count on it

[viscid swift]

it's not 0 but it's very close to 0

[ivory pawn]

Until proven otherwise, assume a collab will never rerun.

[knotty jolt]

imo if they're ever gonna do a rerun it'll be atleast within the likely rerun timeframe

those are way dated so very unlikely

[blissful berry]

[viscid swift]

hey at least you have most of them

[blissful berry]

My goal is to collect them all lmao so im very upset

Call me Ash Catchem, gotta have em all 😞

[viscid swift]

I mean compared to this

[knotty jolt]

Hey, atleast you have them i joined late and never got to experience them and i've been here since atleast the first year anniversary

[blissful berry]

I cant back out anymore, been in the game for too long

[stone sluice]

Do we know when the +10 morale thing is gonna end?

[viscid swift]

the 20th

[stone sluice]

[errant jacinth]

is there any ship from the meta shop that would be an upgrade? I have 96 tokens and a ship costs 60
same for the medal shop

[serene estuary]

whe is the date a live collaab coming to global

[knotty jolt]

purples are not worth it usually

[errant jacinth]

so what should I do with my tokens? just hoard them?

[knotty jolt]

Spend them cause they still provide tech stats

Meta ships don't take up dock space so it's just free stats cause there's literally nothing else ya can spend them on but enhancement materials for meta ships or meta ship skill books

[errant jacinth]

what about the medal shop? those are all golds right?

[knotty jolt]

Yes

[errant jacinth]

is there anything worth buying for me there?

[knotty jolt]

not alot but there are a few

[onyx flame]

Medal shop ship hull priority

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

[knotty jolt]

ye slim picking

[errant jacinth]

if that's the case am I better off using medals for retrofit parts/bulins?

or anything else really?

[knotty jolt]

Bulins yes but primarily the gold bulins and retrofit stuff ehh

[onyx flame]

you can use it for gold bulin or dupes to mlb to save on bulins

imo i wouldnt spend medal on retro (price feels like a scam)

[knotty jolt]

You can if you're having shit luck on hard mode drops but not recommend to drop 100 medals for one gold print

[onyx flame]

but main prio for medal shops other than sr ships for new players is spec cores

[stark quiver]

whats average payload travel time for full la9s on fritz and nakh

[errant jacinth]

what are spec cores good for?

[knotty jolt]

their only use is to trade in for UR bulins

And since URs are only good when max limit broken and they're some of the strongest ships in the game you can guess why they're high priority

Also you're very limited to how many UR bulins you can get a month, they're the most time gated resource

[errant jacinth]

yeaa that makes sense lol

[onyx flame]

you can farm 5k spec cores a month and with medal shop you get an additional 3k which means 2 ur bulins a month at 4k spec core each, so yea

[viscid swift]

same time as JP and CN

[serene estuary]

Which is

[viscid swift]

Read my name

[glacial heath]

anybody know any tierlist for research academy, i have a god one that is 00:30:00, it costs 5000 coins + 20 AA gun parts. Is it worth or?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[lavish crow]

I haven't updated my "strong" (ie not exp grinding) formations in a while, what would y'all say are the two strongest atm? I have everyone.

[rain vine]

what content?

[lavish crow]

hmm, general I guess, although if I had to choose I suppose current META. Might as well speed that up.

[viscid swift]

Lion, Alsace, Fritz Rumey, Z52, Chapayev, Trafalgar

this of course assumes you have the tech and gear for them

check the pins for gear, should be the 3rd one or so

[lavish crow]

I've got all the URs maxed out (MLB 120/125) besides one of the newest DR's cuz bps. Most SRs who are good as well, and if not I can prio them in the grind fleet. Thanks!

remarkably european fleet

[red sapphire]

Hi, who should I limit break next?

[robust onyx]

Zwei though it's better to wait for next UR event which should be in December

[sweet delta]

If you have 4 then max Bisz now

[red sapphire]

I don't have 4... So, I wait december, or Zwei if I get 4 before?

Whatever comes first?

[sweet delta]

If you get 4 by like end of November then it would be safe to max Bisz immediately

[red sapphire]

Alright. Thanks

[harsh cliff]

how long on average will it take to get 950 points

[sweet delta]

IJN points or Haku aren't what new players are recommended to hard focus on, so there are few examples . And if you missed the September IJN event then it'll take a lot longer

[short star]

what should be focus? (if IB "finish" 950+)

[harsh cliff]

unlucky just started playing when tempesta started, sadly so many units are so hard to get

[sweet delta]

1. Aegir, AvP Anchorage
2. Shimanto

[tulip lagoon]

I finally cleaned 14-3

Check out my boss fleet

[sweet delta]

@tulip lagoon check out #trophy-room

[viscid swift]

ok

[hazy olive]

Worth going for a third Unzen to LB without using two bulins or nah?

[rain vine]

no, especially with that amount of cubes

[hazy olive]

Aight.

[onyx flame]

quick question for unzen ex stage, how many time do you gotta dispel the dark mist before it implodes

[sweet delta]

Even a first Unzen was questionable

[inner thicket]

Hello Quick Question
I have a full LB Unzen and I got a second. What to do whit it?

[onyx flame]

Retire unless you wanna display extra skin in secertary slots

[knotty jolt]

scrapping URs give protocores so that's likely you're best bet

[sweet delta]

Spec core not protocore for one

And they count to the monthly cap so retiring URs effectively gives zero spec core for active players

Half active players

[hidden gazelle]

I have a question do I need a full iron blood fleet for farming iron blood exp?

[remote yarrow]

No, only what it asks you to grind

[forest palm]

just 3 of the required ship an that's it

[remote yarrow]

If it's main fleet experience, 3 main ships, if it's vanguard, well 3 vanguard ships

[hidden gazelle]

I have no clue on that

[stark quiver]

which ship are you unlocking

[remote yarrow]

Go check what the mission says

[hidden gazelle]

I have

Its for PR.

[sweet delta]

Doesn't matter, go read the Shipyard requirement

[knotty jolt]

just realized i mixed up proto and spec coresmb

[hidden gazelle]

Need 2.4 milion iron blood exp using main fleet.

[remote yarrow]

There's your answer, you only need 3 iron blood main ships

[hidden gazelle]

Friedrich.

[hidden gazelle]

Fcking hell I was reading it wrong lmao.

[remote yarrow]

Which means you can just level something else instead of Eugen and Z13 if you wish to

And ofc Z23 since she's already 125

[hidden gazelle]

I have not that great of a luck with vanguards.

[knotty jolt]

non max lmb uvh gonna make the farm more painful then needed

[sweet delta]

You didn't need luck to set up the recommended starter fleet of Portland Helena z23

[hidden gazelle]

I have portland helena idk

[hidden gazelle]

I though i needed the ur bulin for better ur units.

[tulip tinsel]

i wouldn't mlb uvh imo

[knotty jolt]

Ye but you could use another iron blood backline if you have it over uvh. Unless she's your only option which if you only got 3 ib backline rip

[hidden gazelle]

I have her lmao

[remote yarrow]

Meh, Lv 100+ shouldn't struggle on Safe W12 unless their gear is bad

[hidden gazelle]

I am not even there

[remote yarrow]

At least get to 12-1 if you are gonna PR grind

[tulip tinsel]

then get there

[hidden gazelle]

[knotty jolt]

ngl gneisenau would likely outdamage uvh cause the limit break difference

[remote yarrow]

Stop PR grinding for now and get to W12

[hidden gazelle]

I shall do that 🫡 but do i need to limit break trafalgar?

[remote yarrow]

Idk where you've been grinding but it's probably not great? Unless you've been doing even which has higher priority for now

[hidden gazelle]

I took a break and now I am event grinding.

[remote yarrow]

Idk what Trafalgar has to do with PR grind but hold on to that until the december UR

[hidden gazelle]

Even since I maxed out lion I wasnt rlly thinking also I played other gacha and that took some more time for me.

[hidden gazelle]

[jade sable]

What’s recommended guns for Hindenburg?

[cloud panther]

Her gun(S)

[sweet delta]

Put the better gun in the first slot https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/#vanguard-weapons-ca-guns

[jade sable]

Very useful thank you

[quaint oracle]

what does skin development do for the pr's?

[drowsy quest]

Who is the best meta ship in game?

[rain vine]

allows you set different skins for secretary

[quaint oracle]

oh, cool thanks

[gray aurora]

Does the discount stack with the one we get for free from cruise missions?

[woven fern]

Im almost there this shit takes forever. Still havent pulled bismarck or enterpirse🥲 but once I get anch, hindenburg is next...

[hollow gust]

Shouldn't be skipping around in different seasons

[pure jasper]

P sure you have to buy a skin at full price before you can get that, so I don't think it stacks

[gray aurora]

You get it also for purchasing the lucky bag

[woven fern]

I dont really care for anyone else rn besides anch and hinden, but im doing them one at a time

[viscid swift]

Are you even in w12 yet?

[tulip tinsel]

I doubt you have the tech for hindenburg, and it takes months to get the bps for her MLB

[woven fern]

.....no

[woven fern]

i probably dont, but she's just the next one i want

[tulip tinsel]

understandable, she's very cute

[woven fern]

yeah, i like her designs. would be nice if i had better ways to get gems, im saving for anch since i got shinano's bunny outfit

[rain vine]

the better way = 💳

[woven fern]

i have a suspension on my google play

i cant spend money on anything google play related

smth happened when i was 12, a card got put in wrong and boom. idk who's card it was so i cant verify it. and google cant do anything:)

[pure jasper]

Ah I didn't know about that one, nice

[pure jasper]

Is your game acc connected to yostar or Google, if it's yostar then you can make another Google account and connect the card to that one. If it's Google then idk if it'll work, but as long as it isn't connected to Google play games in specific You should be able to just delete the Google acc (obv while remembering the password as to not lose it) and should be able to use the other acc with the card on it.

for any games connected to the suspended acc through Google play games, not really much you can do there

[woven fern]

i have too many games connected to that acc to delete it. tbh i only see it as a slight inconvience, i dont have a job rn and play trading card games, so not being able to spend money on mobile gacha games is a hidden blessing lol

[obtuse island]

they will drop a new ur in december right

[woven fern]

but maybe another time i will make another google play and connect

[rain vine]

yes

[viscid swift]

It would Unironically be quicker if you just halted tech grinding until you get to w12

[woven fern]

why would it? out of curiosity?

[obtuse island]

because higher worlds are just way more efficient to grind

[verbal plinth]

thats twice they tried that

[rain vine]

world 12 is easy, gives good exp, and has oil cap, so you can run a full fleet

[charred pollen]

/ban 1199481769402048628

[odd root]

addlyn0307#0 got banned.

[remote yarrow]

wdym by this?

Like who's the best Ship in the game? Most ppl consider Zwei is the best meta wise

[rapid shard]

Lion is arguably best main fleet ship in game

[viscid swift]

because in W12 you'd actually be able to farm the resources to do it efficiently

[drowsy quest]

Thanks, also how do i get more house coins for the dorm

[woven fern]

ah okay, gotcha. ty ty

[viscid swift]

and you'd have 2 established fleets ready so you won't be gimping your progress

[hollow gust]

[viscid swift]

eh not since May 2024 at least

but it's rather misleading and misguided question honestley

[woven fern]

damn my fav ships are the worst:(

[bleak junco]

Is this a serious tier list. I saw some people shitting on it

[viscid swift]

I created it and yes it is meant to be serious

[dusk vortex]

what should I prioritize in the effulgence exchange shop?

[viscid swift]

it is looking at things from an end game perspective and being very harsh but

[bleak junco]

OH I didn’t know but cool!!

[viscid swift]

the Gun and then Build Tickets

[dusk vortex]

okay thanks

[viscid swift]

and who shitted on it? here?

[bleak junco]

what about after that

[bleak junco]

I think a while ago in general yeah

[jolly condor]

Is owari worth using??

[bleak junco]

I dunno when specifically but not a lot of people liked it (or thought it was correct)

[viscid swift]

1 copy of hatsuzuki if you didn't get her then cog chips and arrays, oil, augment cores

[flint moss]

Noticed I had this in my inventory. Anything in particular I should choose? Do any of these lead to UR gear?

[rain bobcat]

whats everything in it

[viscid swift]

firecrest is needed for the wyvern

[flint moss]

Last one is Ju-87 D4

[viscid swift]

and the Twin 76mm for the UR Twin 76mm

[tender lotus]

How to get that?

[viscid swift]

paid packs

[blissful hamlet]

What's bayard niche?

[rain bobcat]

having really good damage

she is a barrage spammer

[keen zealot]

Can I +13 Flandre gun as an alternative to +13 Champy gun? They are listed as the same for almost all list but only Champy was recommends to +13

[rain bobcat]

yes

[rapid shard]

What paid pack is that cause ive bought a lot of them and haven't gotten that

[keen zealot]

Tks

[cursive ridge]

If i'm fairly new should i use medal of honors for requestion or save them for the shop

[viscid swift]

save them for the shop

[south sequoia]

Never requesition

[lofty harbor]

so the first thing i should do is just finish mission yeah? when I'm just starting?

[eternal moth]

I also recommend reading this https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips and https://azurlaneecgc.com/early_ship_recommendations

[lofty harbor]

thx

[zenith heron]

||I borrowed the picture, only to get bombarded after all, forgot to add context for this exact Tierlist||

[slow fox]

-# I move on to Large Main Fleets now

[viscid swift]

[bleak junco]

Oh

[slow fox]

Would 1.00/1.25/1.20 be more intuitive

[viscid swift]

so

I presume no one died correct?

[icy sphinx]

How do you get this???

[knotty jolt]

Buying, it's from a paid bundle

[slow fox]

Yeah. I stripped the gear on the sample girls for this run so that they'd die before the rest of the vanguard.

[viscid swift]

hmmmmm

[slow fox]

But for Azuma, sometimes she'd outlive hammann ii, and go on for a few more. I scrapped all runs where hammann ii died before Azuma.

[lofty harbor]

the game will teach me how to retrofit and limit break later yeah? because i don't understand it yet

[knotty jolt]

Limit breaking is using dupes or substitutes(in azur Lane's case, bulins) to increase a ships power, while retrofit is you use special material to increase a ships performance

[lofty harbor]

ok thx

[jolly condor]

does owari’s 2nd ability stack the 25% per condition met or is it 25% no matter what

[knotty jolt]

It's just a flat 25% so long as any conditions is met and doesn't stack I'm pretty sure

It's designed in a way to make it 100% cause at max rank base chance is 75%

[sweet delta]

You played 300 battles?

[slow fox]

I played like 350 lol

Should do about 1050 more. I want data on Large Main, Large Carrier, and Boss.

[knotty jolt]

How much oil you spending on this stuff exactly?

[sweet delta]

🤏 maybe it spent like 3k for those 350

[slow fox]

It spends much less oil than running/grinding a map/event, yes.

[jolly condor]

Team help

[sweet delta]

Did you unequipped their guns too?

[slow fox]

Yes

[weary edge]

is this just a profile accessory? bc it's talm bout sum 50% off but ion see nun that in shop

[viscid swift]

yes

[weary edge]

ok thx, is there going to be a 50% off sale like the name implies when black friday actually comes?

[rain bobcat]

black friday has been here since thursday

it's technically already the best black friday to date imo

180 discount one time +300 discount every other skin bought

[weary edge]

why they baiting us with "50% off sale" 😭

[soft raft]

Have you heard of a funny thing called flavour text

[knotty jolt]

Remember: The green cat lies

[drowsy quest]

Still confused about this how can i know which one is for each ship? Whats the difference on each one

[knotty jolt]

imo only the eagle union is worth getting, you can get quad bofors, f6f hellcats aswell as the usual universal gear of steamcatapults repair kits and naval camo/hydrualic rudder

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Equipment#Equipment_boxes btw here is the list of equipment you can get from tech boxes

[drowsy quest]

Thanks bro

[lofty harbor]

can I skip hard stage for now? I'm just starting

[atomic abyss]

I would suggest you do the hard mode maps ending with-4 at least
You'll want to start working towards getting the materials for unicorn's retrofit

And they're time gated so

[lofty harbor]

ok thx

[fierce lantern]

wheres the rerun list

[knotty jolt]

always do your daily 3 hard mode stages cause core data is very limited don't waste your opportunity to get them

If you're having trouble just do the highest world one you can comfortably do for the most core data

[lofty harbor]

ok

[jolly condor]

could i run owari, bismarck, and oumi as a main fleet

[atomic abyss]

In campaign?
You could but not recommended

[jolly condor]

yea

[knotty jolt]

Have some carriers in that fleet

[atomic abyss]

The default for campaign is 1 BB + 2 CV per fleet

[knotty jolt]

at the very least you can do up to w12 with whatever so long as they're either geared well or leveled properly

[atomic abyss]

2 BB 1 CV works too if you're lacking CVs

[jolly condor]

i’m w13

[knotty jolt]

Bunker hill gameplay lets go

[atomic abyss]

The only time you're using 3 BBs in a single fleet is for operation siren bossing
Or meta showdowns

[knotty jolt]

w13 you hyper need carriers then

[atomic abyss]

W13 wants as many CVs as possible

At least 4 carriers

[jolly condor]

😭

[atomic abyss]

Too many planes
Your BBs will crap themselves

Go grind up your carriers in the event or w12

[knotty jolt]

w13 is extremely plane heavy, and your vanguard even with a full kit sandy will not shoot every plane down, your carriers will assist by intercepting them

[atomic abyss]

W13 is the point where randomly throwing stuff together doesn't work anymore

You need some form of strategy

[jolly condor]

I have carriers i just wanted this fleet to work, cus i just got owari skin

[atomic abyss]

Save it for operation siren then

[knotty jolt]

just use owari as your flag and have her escorted by carriers

[jolly condor]

i would have to use shimano and haukhou

[knotty jolt]

i wish you the best of luck clearing chapter 13

[viscid swift]

It's not exactly like they would struggle with w13

[jolly condor]

Idk if you’re being serious or not

[knotty jolt]

considering what i saw in your dock, if you're trying to do it as under leveled as you are, yes i am being serious.

[jolly condor]

I could level a majority of the characters, since i have a lot of excess xp on them. it’s just idk if im going to keep using them so i haven’t yet

[atomic abyss]

You will likely be using them because you don't have the resources for multiple URs, which would be their replacement

So just do it

Maybe not push from 120 -> 125

But at least till 120

[viscid swift]

Unicorn definitely doesn't have excess xp

[knotty jolt]

I saw aquila and unicorn in your fleet, they should carry you through whatever ails you

[atomic abyss]

No point worrying about the future

[viscid swift]

Nor Eldridge

[atomic abyss]

Worry about the present situation

[jolly condor]

yea i just don’t like using her, specially

[viscid swift]

Cog chips can be a bottleneck but they're not that rare

[jolly condor]

in progress

[viscid swift]

You should, she's the best healer in the game

Pretty much an auto slot for mob fleets

[atomic abyss]

Her only alternative is like Perseus
Who is not as good and way harder to get

[lean valley]

We really need a dedicated UR healer...

[jolly condor]

Ok i’ll start using her again

[knotty jolt]

Isn't that raffelio?

[lean valley]

Eh kinda? She does other things too, so she's not as easy a "mob fleet you want vanguard to live -> go" inclusion like unicorn is

[atomic abyss]

Rafaello isn't replacing unicorn so no

[viscid swift]

Not even close

[stark quiver]

healers heal tho

[lean valley]

I would legit settle for a UR who is just unicorn skills / stats, simply to have variety in my farming life

[viscid swift]

then just don't use Unicorn

you don't need her in W12 or OpSi, I'd argue in both it's a detriment to have her when farming XP

[lean valley]

Yeah for those it's not really worth it (unless I want really weak vanguards to live with crappy gear for some reason)

It's more farming 13/14/15 for drop ships or if I'm low on cogs

[viscid swift]

you don't even need Unicorn when you're farming with crappy ships, cross fleets take care of that

[main latch]

Just came back after a long while Who worth MLB ?

[viscid swift]

that's all of your URs?

[main latch]

i didnt play for a long so yea

[viscid swift]

how many UR Bullins can you get?

[main latch]

4 more

[viscid swift]

uhhhhhhh

go ahead and max limit break Vanguard I guess unless you're close to UR pity at which point I'd wait for Musashi

[main latch]

Should i just wait i need 40 more cubes

[viscid swift]

given the Date a Live collab drops in a few days I'd wait

[main latch]

Okay. ty

[ripe bluff]

where does one go to get a fritz rumey

or rather when can I get one

[edgy sandal]

next december

[ripe bluff]

brah

[edgy sandal]

U missed the event last year

[ripe bluff]

i didnt even remember a event that happened

[robust onyx]

When ever the event rerun happens

[sweet delta]

You won't die

[ripe bluff]

I guess I gotta wait a whole year for my triple secondaries meme fleet

I waited a year for fancy I can wait another for fritz

wait was she part of the z52 event?

[viscid swift]

yes

[ripe bluff]

I guess my mind just made me forgot about not getting her from gacha as some kind of trauma response

[sweet delta]

There are other ships with long range secondaries

[stark quiver]

just dont lose

[ripe bluff]

I know rupie and odin

biscuit 2 is kind of a stretch

[viscid swift]

oumi would be the most recent one

[ripe bluff]

oh huh
they should really tell you these things somewhere

[viscid swift]

well if you pay attention to skills and keep up with new releases

it's hardly difficult

[stark quiver]

they do

[ripe bluff]

well its really easy to miss

its not like PR ships where they give you a preview no trailer or anything that show them

[stark quiver]

they do that with pr?

[slow crag]

This good?

[viscid swift]

the wiki exists, not to mention someone did a review video on her a few days after she released

[stark quiver]

good for light armor bossing ig

[slow crag]

Alr

[ripe bluff]

itd be really helpful if they told you what 95 means when they increase the secondaries range by that
95 what apples bananas?

[viscid swift]

95 in game units

[ripe bluff]

yeah I know exactly how long a game unit is

[slow crag]

Finally maxed out yuudachi

[ripe bluff]

I definitely know when they give no scale

[viscid swift]

considering that guns normally cap out at around 70 range

who wants to tell them

[sweet delta]

Tell what

I didn't see a ruler on screen

[viscid swift]

not that

[stark quiver]

I do

[sweet delta]

I'll tell them

[ripe bluff]

oh what the hell

[sweet delta]

Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that Yuudachi is powercrept by gold ships, including her META version

[ripe bluff]

the secondaries only activate after 30 seconds

even biscuit 2 "secondaries" are better than that

[slow crag]

Im bout to get her meta version

Is her meta version a ur or sr

[viscid swift]

SR

[stark quiver]

theres no UR meta

[slow crag]

Is she retrofitable

[viscid swift]

no

[slow crag]

Damn,

[stark quiver]

Why are you comparing a top ur to a top sr

[sweet delta]

Considering that geryon is only there for less than half the time and only has one gun while Oumi has 3 DD guns at 200% efficiency , I think Oumi's secondaries are better

[slow crag]

Ur meta ship when

[ripe bluff]

I only care about long range secondaries

biscuit 2 sets her up after the first shot oumi need to wait a 30 seconds you cant reduce

[viscid swift]

so?

just use normal Bismarck if you really wanna spam secondaries

or Ruppchrect for that matter

[stark quiver]

just use oumi

[ripe bluff]

I already have rupprecht and odin in one fleet

rupprecht really want the flag spot tho

guess I wait for rumey

[viscid swift]

I mean you're inherently using a gimped fleet

[ripe bluff]

yeah ik
but its funny

[slow crag]

Ur meta ship whrn

[stark quiver]

idt they care

[viscid swift]

so why sweat over a details

[ripe bluff]

because it would be funnier

[viscid swift]

how should we know

[stark quiver]

i know ||that i do not know||

[slow crag]

Get the warthunder community to help

Find the files

[viscid swift]

they don't exist

the game doesn't add stuff to the live game until the last minute basically

there's no sort of public test either, everything is done internally

[sweet delta]

Does war thunder community hack the developers' communications?

[vale spindle]

they hack actual real life military people and leak classified documents

they will not hack a random developer company in china

[slate timber]

I’m new to the game and I want to make an eagle union fleet what can I make with these?

[viscid swift]

I would not reccomend doing a faction fleet especially at this point in the game

case and point being you can't really put together a servicable fleet with that

[wind hazel]

triple healer+laffey eldridge

[viscid swift]

might wanna give that a read as well
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[outer robin]

So I’m on 15-3 and my zuihou is not surviving the battle after the first boss fleet

Asking what I can do to increase her chances

[wind hazel]

lv125 her, and what's the fleet?

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 damn so many AA and she still dying?

[viscid swift]

what's everyone else's gear?

[wind hazel]

raff gear is horseshit

[outer robin]

Yeah the aux is kinda shit

[viscid swift]

not enough ASW for one thing

[wind hazel]

swap the sextuple from laffey to sandiego

[outer robin]

Not sure the asw is the issue but what do I know

[viscid swift]

also can I just say, that Raffaello gets a 0/5 for gear

ASW plane on Unicorn

[rain vine]

i mean, you could try watching the fight to see what exactly is killing zuihou

[viscid swift]

and give Raffello standard BB gear

[viscid swift]

not sure what node you were fighting but avoid BB nodes when you're out of ammo at all cost

[outer robin]

I’m trying to fight the double triangle or singles

So that 457 is on lion

[viscid swift]

try and take escort nodes when you're out of ammo they're the easiest

and as I said avoid battleship fleets at all costs when you're out of ammo

[wind hazel]

lion on boss? rob her, give her champagne or flandre gun

[viscid swift]

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

give Trafalgar an augment

also what is with people not grinding their ships to 100 affinity

[wind hazel]

exp books to rush w15 no cap

[outer robin]

Which ones are those

[viscid swift]

refer to that

[stark quiver]

hi gph

[sweet delta]

Laffii without usn gear

[wind hazel]

when he swap the sex lafii will have the greatest nation's gear

[ripe bluff]

guys how do you get more ordnance testing reports and design plans from opsi

it really feels like its limited to a few per month

[rain bobcat]

abyssals

[sweet delta]

I get several per month

[safe nexus]

do i build owari?

[viscid swift]

just the usual grinding

possibly

[ripe bluff]

did all the abyssals

also what does hard mode arbiter drop Ive never actually been able to beat one

[viscid swift]

not oridnance reports

some more gold plates and mats but that's the extennt of of it

anyway the reality is your income per month of them is relatively limited especially if you don't do things like C1 farming

[drowsy quest]

What is project identity?

[sharp socket]

uma musume but you're raising TB
it doesnt give you gameplay rewards btw

[safe nexus]

something like a dating sim, you dont have to do as it dont really rewards you anything besides happiness

[drowsy quest]

Theres two options? Which one get you more happiness?

[safe nexus]

for me i just get kurumi

[soft raft]

what
She's not even in that mode

[soft raft]

Whoever you like more I guess
The happiness he mentioned is purely theoretical not actual

[lofty harbor]

I'm still only on My chapter 2

[sweet delta]

Ok

[lofty harbor]

what should i even do

[sweet delta]

Use better ships

[lofty harbor]

how? i only have that much ship

[sweet delta]

Read the newbie guide you were given

4 hours ago

[lofty harbor]

how do you know that

[lofty harbor]

no really how do i even get better ship now

[soft raft]

Once again go give this a read
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[soft raft]

The search bar is quite the convient tool #gameplay-help message

Aslo the guide basically handholds you into having a solid fleet, idk how you didnt follow it

What does your fleet even look like right now?

[lofty harbor]

i don't see anything in there that tell how to get ship, that i can use now

shop haven't even open yet

[soft raft]

Bullshit

the guild shop is open even if you arent in a guild

Get these ships, then do your best to copy this fleet
Literally that easy

[lofty harbor]

where is that

[soft raft]

[viscid swift]

Oh right we need to get that updated

[rain bobcat]

reading is an invaluable asset

[lofty harbor]

that writing is so small

[soft raft]

It's the same size as the rest of the text wdym

Even on mobile it's perfectly legible

[lofty harbor]

but chapter 2 need 2 fleet

[uneven knot]

it doesnt u can still attack if u run out of ammo

focus on one strong fleet for now

[spark patio]

What is Independence good at? also AVP too

[viscid swift]

You might wanna read at least the first few sections thoroughly

[onyx flame]

indep a mobbing cv, avp is used for her freeze if you dont have implac (need fs5 to guarantee it)

[spark patio]

Should i Replace Essex with AVP

[wanton dagger]

Who should i choose to replace long island and portland?

[onyx flame]

well do you need the freeze for your other carriers to land their converg torps? cause if you do you also have to sync them with avp

[lofty harbor]

why i can't see unicorn and pennsy on my dock when i want to try to add them to my formation?

[viscid swift]

They're main fleet ships, they go in the back row

[viscid swift]

Owari can replace Long Island and no one replaces Portland for now

[uneven knot]

^ retro portland lasted me up until world 11 with mid gear

[haughty skiff]

alabama (flag) / owari / unicorn
portland / helena / z23

no one replaces portland, rarity doesnt mean good
you shouldn't use non-mlb ships and tempesta is just not recommended

[lofty harbor]

ty

[onyx flame]

i used port all the way to w12

[slate timber]

Is Howe better then Pennsylvania

[wanton dagger]

Is unzen any good? Should i invest in her?

[spark patio]

Yeah i have my hakuhou with ryusei kai

[haughty skiff]

howe is a bossing british buffer, penny is a budget barrage mobbing bb - they both serve different purposes.

gonna assume you're a newbie- you dont need to replace penny until later and it should ideally be alabama from the medal shop due to her augment making her significantly better then most golds for mobbing. oumi & owari are literally the best & 3rd best gold battleships and are from recent / current events

[haughty skiff]

depends on your ur & ur bulin situation, we are getting a ur in december and unzen is just a pure dps vanguard, which isn't that impactful

[spark patio]

Eldridge Sandy Helena or Eldridge Sandy Unzen will be better?

for bossing

[viscid swift]

What boss

[spark patio]

13+ i think

[viscid swift]

Helena is dead weight in late campaign boss fleets

[spark patio]

Thought she could be there bc of her skills

[onyx flame]

well it also have to depends who's your third ship and what your fighting, if the boss doesnt move too much you dont need the freeze, but if you do just rmb to sandwich avp between your other 2 carrier and sync em

[rain bobcat]

negligble damage and useless campaign skill, helena is dead weight

[soft raft]

Her radar scan needs to be synced with your backline to make the most out of it

And syncing is one of the last few things you want to do in late campaign much less in plane heavy stages

[viscid swift]

She's inconsistent and you actively want to desyhc your main fleets in late campaign Voss stages

[spark patio]

Can i use Agir for mobbing in W13

[atomic abyss]

Ofc you can

[wanton dagger]

Should i unlock slots in dorm

[onyx flame]

3rd slot and 2nd floor

[spark patio]

can i pair her with Anchorage and Roon in W13

[rain bobcat]

[whole crypt]

you can but you kind of don't want to

[viscid swift]

Sounds inefficient and ineffective

[spark patio]

Bc i put Sandy and Eldridge also Unzen for the boss

[whole crypt]

those 3 are all tanks and don't particularly offer you much in terms of DPS or utility, not to mention they lack AA

that boss fleet on the other hand has no tanks

[soft raft]

Have fun with your backline dying from all the enemy planes that will pass that vanguard with mostly full HP I guess

[rain bobcat]

[viscid swift]

Eldridge is fine

[whole crypt]

you can make it past 13 with good good interception even if vanguard AA is kind of shit

but we don't know what the main fleet is so

[spark patio]

I am afraid of if i only separate Sandy and Eldridge i cant def the planes

[spark patio]

Can i use those 3 tank with 3 CV in backline

[whole crypt]

why not pick something else with good AA or DPS or any utility instead of 3 tanks

[viscid swift]

Why do you need 3 tanks

W13 mobbing is hardly a high pressure vanguard content

[whole crypt]

also Sandy or Eldridge alone should be enough for 13 boss, if they're not then your fight is just taking too long

[dawn zealot]

After pr8, do you guys recommend farming more tenrais?

[viscid swift]

No

[whole crypt]

do you have 3 meck guns

[viscid swift]

Because you can craft them in the lab

More Mecklenburg guns and La9s would be the play

[dawn zealot]

Almost at 2 meck guns

Oh yeah, La9s then

[whole crypt]

if you have 3 meck guns then sure go back to an earlier series for say plymouth gun or La-9, but Tenrai is easier to just lab

[spark patio]

My vanguard ships are not that good

[viscid swift]

Get a 3rd then or get more La9s

[spark patio]

Im planning on getting a lot of tanks and let the backline dame

[whole crypt]

yeh just stick with 8 until 3 guns

[dawn zealot]

Got it. Thanks!

[whole crypt]

that's not how lategame works unfortunately

[viscid swift]

Your vanguard needs to do more than just live

[whole crypt]

and the solution to "vanguard ships not that good" is to get and level more good ones
