[pine whale]

Hm. Alright

Where should I move Kurumi?

[junior fractal]

you'll likely use Penn for a long time until you get a decent replacement - she's good at the start where you're at

[pine whale]

My placement looks exactly the same as the one from Sam's site but with Kurumi in the middle.

[red sapphire]

Seems ok

[pine whale]

Understood

[onyx flame]

techncially kurumi would replace port

[red sapphire]

May be you can move Kurumi front or back depending of the overall performance

[pine whale]

Which is the class for center then?

[onyx flame]

center is for the squishiest

[pine whale]

I will optimize then

[onyx flame]

left is tank slot which port is usually for new players, while right is off tank

kurumi basically is a tank so techncially she would take over port role

[pine whale]

That explains many things

[onyx flame]

main thing is you gotta make sure you acquire kurumi before the event end, if not poof goes all investment

[crude basin]

can i use my unzen for anything

[onyx flame]

unless she's mlb no

[junior fractal]

you can set her as your secretary

[onyx flame]

and as a vanguard her prio for mlb is pretty low maybe wait till dec ur and see

[crude basin]

what should i be spending gems on

[onyx flame]

/gems

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Gem Spending 101

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[lofty harbor]

what is this? i don't understand. i just click click and this happened

[robust onyx]

Looks like PR research

[red sapphire]

This is where you can develop ships. By earning faction points you can develop ships of that faction. Every 24h a new mission is open. When you clear the missions you get the ship

[lament hazel]

For DR Character, is she a nice addition or "Waifu" only?

[lofty harbor]

i see... ok thx

[lament hazel]

Waifu only = the kit ain't worth it

[red sapphire]

She's great campaign tank, I have heared

[lament hazel]

Ok

[rain vine]

shes also going to take you a very long time to get to a usable state

[robust onyx]

She virtually a side grade to Guam

[junior fractal]

and we mean months by a very long time

[onyx flame]

about 4 months tbh which isnt tooo bad

[red sapphire]

I'm cooked because I'm unlucky at getting Meclenburg prints. I'm getting x3 times Leew

[onyx flame]

my meck is stuck at 29 cause all i see now is gouden

[whole lichen]

where to grind carrier bp for my unicorn

[robust onyx]

Hard b mode x-4

[onyx flame]

x-4 hard stage, chp 3 and above for gold

[whole lichen]

best way to get exp?

[hot oriole]

grind

[rain vine]

get to world 9+ as fast as possible, ideally get to 12-1

[hot oriole]

but which exp do you want? Commander or Shipgirls?

[tulip tinsel]

get 3k xp packs best xp source

[whole lichen]

Yeah but my ships are still underleveled, if i'm stuck then what stage should I grind

[robust onyx]

Highest possible

[rain vine]

or sp5 on passionate polaris for oil cap

[whole lichen]

sp5 on unison same too right?

[onyx flame]

polaris is a bit more useful first

[rain vine]

yeah, that works too
passionate polaris has the better 60x drop

[onyx flame]

cosmic kick which i still dont have

at least the event one function like a dal cosmic kick

[whole lichen]

mhmm alr

[analog tendon]

What should i do once i reach 300/300 and STILL can't even unlock her?

[tulip tinsel]

that only gives bps, you have to build her in shipyard

[onyx flame]

you can either go do other ships like agir/fdg/shimanto/plymouth etc (preferable save pr1,2,3,5 to be turn into protocore) or just leave it blank and come back to do a new one later

[analog tendon]

i think i've read somewhere that for each Serie i can get only 300 bps for the ENTIRE Serie...is that correct? Should i focus for catch-up a ship from any Serie except 4?

[tulip tinsel]

you can only get 300 for the gold ships from catchup 150 for rainbow ships

maximum 300 on every series for golds

[crude basin]

anything important in the meta shop?

[tulip tinsel]

get them for tech

[grim siren]

Hallo, does Kurumi's skill affect her ehp?

[crude basin]

is there any priorty in the meta shop

[onyx flame]

no not really, at most you get fusouM, yamashiroM, hiyouM, junyouM for their furture lvl 120 tech

[polar venture]

Is the event worth spending cubes on?

[onyx flame]

do you care about the DaL collab characters at all? (as collab they might not ever rerun)
if yes then just pull (prob stick to 3 a day first if newish/poor on cubes)
if not return to 1 light pull a day

[eternal basalt]

Next (new) event UR

[onyx flame]

techncially collab is more fomo

anyway the ships are above average golds but not meta defining so it really just up to collection

[eternal basalt]

Kurumi not META?

[onyx flame]

maybe if they dont fix the bug

[sand mirage]

Anybody knows how to get the nodes reward in this date a live event ? The progress bar doesn't seems to be filled even when it's cleared.

[tulip tinsel]

because it's supposed to go down not up???

[inland shoal]

You had to fight the stage before it was cleared
Now there's supposed to be replacement missions but they're bugged

[gusty notch]

this collab event maps look terrible - the rewards compared to oil is a joke. or am i missing something pals?

[sand mirage]

Had fight the stage a lot and it doesn't move at all. The area that haven't been cleared also shows 0%

[sand mirage]

The area that haven't been cleared also shows 0% which meant it's not a goes down bar.

[inland shoal]

Umm
It's the entire server working together and the stages start at 100%, 0% is the final state after it is cleared

[tulip tinsel]

brother the ones with 0% are the ones that are cleared

[inland shoal]

Just because you didn't fight a stage doesn't mean it isn't cleared, as I said it's serverwide

[sand mirage]

I see.... A raid situation. I just play 5th area and that's it. My bad.

[inland shoal]

Dw you're not the only one confused by the inversion of 0% and 100% compared to the way normal stages look

[eternal basalt]

play 2-5 to unlock 6

[ivory sigil]

When does the autobattle function start appear in Azurlane?

[eternal basalt]

On event? After 1 clear

[ivory sigil]

Nah i meantime azurlane QoL specifically, does oldbie player had autobattle function? Like azurlane back in 2017

[onyx flame]

its after you cleared 1-3 iirc

[eternal basalt]

Auto-battle was in from the start, wouldn't be here without it

[viscid swift]

Yeah but a lot of other features weren't

Like oil caps, auto search, auto repeat, and I think clearing mode

[safe nexus]

is 100 ACC means 100% accuracy?

[viscid swift]

No

[forest palm]

lol no

[viscid swift]

It's just 100 hit/accuracy stat not 100% hit rate

[forest palm]

it's more like 1% if anything

[safe nexus]

so how to check my hit rate then?

[viscid swift]

You gotta calculate it

Fortunately for bosses Lars' calculator is able to do that for you

[safe nexus]

math in this so fun

generally how much ACC is considered low?

[viral shadow]

Wtf, doesn't this decrease her speed debuff by a lot? Like yes she does more damage and more tanky but her speed debuff is basically nothing now

[robust onyx]

It's an extra speed debuff

It doesn't say it over rides it

[viral shadow]

It does, it changes the skill

[twin river]

How increase the affection with characters?

[onyx flame]

either slot them into your secretary slot to raise them to 90 affinity, or bring them to battle which you have to in order to reach 100

[safe nexus]

where is this i cant find it

[inland shoal]

5% 1% and 0% are honestly basically the same
Lemme check code to see if that description is even accurate tho

[twin river]

Thank you!

[tulip tinsel]

5% speed debuff is uselessly low

[robust onyx]

Not like Kurumi's 30% speed debuff or her group 100% speed debuff

[inland shoal]

Yeah it's a typo, the augment does 10%, not 1%

[cloud forge]

Hey fellas, I'm farming 12-1 rn but my goal is just power leveling. Is it also the best world stage for exp/oil ratio? Or is there a better option

[inland shoal]

Not that that's particularly useful

[tulip tinsel]

12-4 maybe

[inland shoal]

Technically 11-1 is slightly better, but depending on how fast you go cog chips may become an issue so for those you might want to go to 13-1 or 14-1. I generally recommend 12-1 though or for a slight coin focus 12-4

[cloud forge]

I basically afked the game but did my daily raids only for like a year so I have loads of chips

[inland shoal]

How many chips do you have?

[viral shadow]

I see, much better, now the question is if it stacks with itself, it mentions it doesn't stack with similar skills but does that include itself?

[cloud forge]

Not like a gigaton but enough to LB several

I just want to have more ships in the 120+ range to ensure Harbiter monthly kills

[inland shoal]

By "similar skills" it means literally only itself

[viral shadow]

how does similar skills doesn't include other speed debuff?

[undone plover]

is it 160 tokens per 100 oil? on T6?
no coalition

[rain vine]

yes

[robust onyx]

The time it takes for her main gun to fire twice is too long to be a problem

[tulip tinsel]

what hull is she

[inland shoal]

Because the buff is nothing special, like all buffs it doesn't stack with itself
Why they put "doesn't stack with similar skills" don't ask me, I have no clue, but they have a tendency to do this on debuffs

[robust onyx]

Ca

[inland shoal]

She's a CA, so yeah you're not gonna shoot 3 times in 3s anyway

There are special buffs that have an entire group of buffs they don't stack with, like smokescreens or Reload Orders. This isn't one of them

[heady jasper]

should i get and mlb the two new collab units from gacha

[wheat ore]

What is this quick finish class thing, do you get 10 a day?

[robust onyx]

Quick skill development

It automatically finishes the development

[heady jasper]

👉👈

[onyx flame]

which ships are you refering too

[heady jasper]

the tohka and kotori

[onyx flame]

imo kotori is the only one worth consider, assuming you have the sr bulins to mlb her

[gusty olive]

How about Origami?

[heady jasper]

i kinda forgot how to increase the production slot thing gacha

[onyx flame]

origami also not a terrible choice if your new and dont have many carriers

[eternal basalt]

What gacha?

[onyx flame]

prob asking how to hold more than 10 ships in construction which isnt possible

[heady jasper]

nvm im dumb lol

[eternal basalt]

production thing makes me think Island

[onyx flame]

island coded, cooked

[azure coyote]

Any of the collab ships good?

[viscid swift]

main fleets looking meh, vanguards tbd

[fluid merlin]

question for the UR exchange who do i get i already have shinano

[whole lichen]

Tweaking rn, already broke but got another copy of Kotori

[onyx flame]

musashi

[fluid merlin]

shld see me got origami x3 and tohka x2 and right after i bought yamais from event shop i pulled them

[eternal basalt]

Why buy, its day 2

[agile patrol]

uhhh. i got yuzuru yamai and her sister (???) from the event, it showed up on the auto battle thing
but i got nothing in my dock? is this a known bug

[onyx flame]

relog and it should appear

[agile patrol]

i am so going to die

[heady jasper]

if i have tons of gold bulletins or whatever i just need yo pull 1 copy of the char yes?

[red sapphire]

Restart the game

[agile patrol]

Restart the game

[red sapphire]

My discord is bug that's why I replied so late, it didn't load any reply

[knotty dome]

is oil cap on stage 6 active on first attempt?

[ivory sigil]

should wait Unicorn appear in mapfarm so i can max limitbreak her
or buy Unicorn in the guild shop to MLB her

or use universal bulin to MLB her instead?

[red sapphire]

On every attempt I think

[knotty dome]

thanks

[onyx flame]

oil cap appears only after the first clear for section 6

[knotty dome]

[onyx flame]

so cheap out on your first clear, then abse the oil cap for no returns event stuff

[rain vine]

bulin

[knotty dome]

there's a cost limit message right from the start. and there's no clearing mode for these stages. so which is right?

[rain vine]

you dont need to clear to unlock oil cap on t6

[knotty dome]

thanks

[alpine mural]

Yo, i got a question

[onyx flame]

damn oil cap right of the unlock? this whole event is wack

[alpine mural]

Why is stage 6 of the vent not showing as clear?

[onyx flame]

its a server wide progress

[alpine mural]

I cleared it twice, once on normal once on hard

[alpine mural]

Oh, ok
Ty

[tulip tinsel]

cleared when it reaches 0%

[woven star]

Dam, is a first person who cleared st6 haven't oil cap? It's suck to be first

[heady jasper]

how is this

[rain vine]

is this supposed to be a boss fleet?

[strange rapids]

Any of the collab ships good?

[heady jasper]

no.. just story fleet. im new idk what to put tho

[rain vine]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
give that a read

[rain vine]

main fleets looking meh, vanguards tbd

[heady jasper]

how does one retrofit

[junior fractal]

What are other servers at for sector 6 clear %? Little Enty is at 71.95%

[junior fractal]

clicky ship and then hit Retrofit on the left, follow the arrows to Modernize and bam

[ivory sigil]

i can't clear stage6 tho... 3-days-old AZ player

[gray aurora]

What is the tech prio for vanguards?

[onyx flame]

think its eva for cruiser then fp/torp/hit
and for dd its fp

[gray aurora]

Oke ty
I already started with eva so thats good

[onyx flame]

this is what i stole got from here back then
Fleet tech:
BB: RLD > HIT > FP > others.

CV: RLD until 20 (prioritise +2) > HIT -> AVI > RLD (the rest) > the rest.

You can also do RLD (20) > HIT > AVI +2 > RLD (the rest) > AVI +1 as an alternative. I like having excess RLD for easier timing.

CA/CB/CL: EVA > FP > HIT = RLD = TRP > other.

There is an argument for CB and CA: EVA > FP -> HIT > RLD > TRP > others; CL: EVA = FP > TRP > HIT/RLD > others.

DD: FP > TRP > other.

[tulip tinsel]

it's slower than the other sector's

[brittle smelt]

Is it better to MLB Z52 next or Unzen? or someone else?

[rain vine]

can you get more UR bulins?

[brittle smelt]

yep

[rain vine]

then mlb z52

[kindred dagger]

Hi can npc ships gain affinity?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[fickle parcel]

In the event map selection, under sectors 3, 4, and 5, there are rocket symbols under them. What do they mean?

[tame pivot]

So like.. for the event do I just have to keep clearing this to read the last side story? or like what do I have to do?..

[echo vector]

Does coalition battles increase tokisaki kurumi's quest ? Does it increase ship affinity ?

[heady jasper]

i think im close

[echo vector]

I think so

[junior fractal]

close-ish! You'll need to do these 3 and then Modernize.

[weary gust]

Server wide clear progress. That mission is cleared when sector 6 is cleared by the server.

[junior fractal]

make sure you do the correct hard stages every day to get the gold retrofit plans so you can unlock these remaining nodes. And you'll need a bulin or Unicorn dupe for the Modernization

[weary gust]

It definitely progress's Kurumi's quest. I think ships get affinity from the battles too but not 100% sure on that.

[tulip tinsel]

you get affinity too

[tulip tinsel]

if you can clear hard mode x-4 stages 3 star you should get a few gold cv retrofit mats

[young ridge]

What do the little "bullets" under some of the stage names mean? I'm still grinding down stage 6, but both 5 and 6 have several below their name.

[heady jasper]

wheres the guild shop again

[inland shoal]

Supply

[heady jasper]

i swear im dumb cuz i dont see it

bruh maint

[heady jasper]

is jp version different cuz hmmmm

[inland shoal]

No clue

[viscid swift]

shouldn't be

[heady jasper]

ig im gonna wait till this maint ends

[viscid swift]

though if you can't read what the stuff says, that won't help you navigate the menu

[heady jasper]

theres a little english in the jp version which helped a bit.. do i need to join a guild first tho

[viscid swift]

no

[heady jasper]

okay thanksss, im just trynna get me a Helena for story lol

who do i switch with for unicorn and helena is the question

[viscid swift]

Long Island, and Shropshire

also, limit break the ships you use, also not gonna ask about the inordinate amount of cubes you used pulling for dupes

[agile patrol]

hi. i have roon, sanrui, agir and anchorage now
i do have a "Finish one series 2 ship" mission in my handbook. should I go for FdG now?? or do I get AvP for my opsi CV fleet?

[keen zealot]

The event stage is super trash for gold with no bonus clear reward??

[keen zealot]

if you have enough techpoint I would say go for it man

[agile patrol]

ya i do

[heady jasper]

i meannn i kinda used lot of gold bulletins

[rain vine]

kinda rough to use gold bulins on ships that have 0 fleet tech

[heady jasper]

idk i like them

i have some spares so why not

[viscid swift]

Gold Bullins are pretty time gated, best not to use them willy nilly

[sweet delta]

do Yoshino's lasers scale on AVI stat of 0?

[onyx flame]

depends on your bb lineup, if you need a mobbing bb fdg there also the bit of are you coining anything rn since avp gonna take like 2 months to be coined since she need fs5

thou the event book mission isnt gonna poof anytime so you can ignore it and get something more impactful for your gameplay first

[dense knot]

whats the best team i can make with these guys

[pine whale]

Hello. Hours ago I was told to push for campaign, but, perhaps surprisingly, perhaps predictably, am 2 levels behind, thus locked from 3. Do I go for Hard Ch1 or for highest Normal Ch2 I can get? Or maybe event?

(for Kurumi)

[sweet delta]

do 3 hard mode every day
farm event

[pine whale]

Which chapter for hard mode? Or do I have to check so presumably only 1-1 Hard. Oh right

[sweet delta]

3 starring all 4 stages of 1 chapter unlocks that chapter's hard mode

[heady jasper]

looks good enough

[viscid swift]

also limit break your ships

specifically Helena and Javelin

[pine whale]

Which I did. I mean. Today I just unlocked, but, in your opinion, should I stick to 1-1 or push until end of Ch1 in hard with the 3 I have?

[viscid swift]

you don't need to do 1-1 Hard to do 1-4 hard

[sweet delta]

can't you skip straight to 1-4 Hard? Prefer 4th for Unicorn retrofit

[pine whale]

I'll screen then to avoid confusion. Brb

[heady jasper]

soo where do i get sr bullins again?

[viscid swift]

you mean purple Bullins?

you should have quite a few accumulated already but 3 starring campaign maps gives you a decent amount, weekly missions, and you can get 10 from the medal shop

[pine whale]

I can skip to 1-4?

[clear harbor]

Research question:
Shorter research seems to be generally better. But Medium G (4 - hours) is better than Short G (1.5 and 2.5 hours). Is Medium G more efficienct in a particular way?

[viscid swift]

yes

[dense knot]

out of kotori, long island, and pennsylvania which is the best

[pine whale]

Many thanks

[viscid swift]

uhh Kotori almost by default but whether you should put bullins into her is another matter

[viscid swift]

we don't know, we're just going off of user collected data for drops and looking at the average hourly rate for drops

[dense knot]

lets say this is my team then, (idk whether to replace long island or penny at the back) which units should i put universal bulins into

[pine whale]

That's one hell of a hyperfocjsed team

[viscid swift]

you should limit break all ships you're using

[clear harbor]

So data suggests better blueprint output? Better Gear output? Both?

[pine whale]

Bulins are replacements for ships you can't farm duplicates on. If your team is only composed of those, well you limit break all of those 6

[forest palm]

any of the collab girls interesting

[viscid swift]

UR gear drop rate

[thorn tartan]

Is this a 2 week event?

[viscid swift]

yes

[clear harbor]

👀 That's very important to me.

[pine whale]

Kurumi and Origami, definitely. Tohka idk but she's UR and I was told she's good

[viscid swift]

Kurumi might be interesting

[pine whale]

Kurumi is a breath of fresh air for late game and early game

[viscid swift]

said who

[pine whale]

You all, here.

[brisk dragon]

which one is easier to do for those event stages . solo or coalition?

[viscid swift]

when?

[pine whale]

In the last 24h I have asked

[viscid swift]

solo because you don't have to field as many ships

[pine whale]

I mean,I trust you

[sick kettle]

so does the banner worth pulling or no

[viscid swift]

and I definitely didn't say that

[dense knot]

is nelson any good

[pine whale]

Ok then maybe not you. Apologies

[viscid swift]

only for collection

[viscid swift]

solid after retrofit

[karmic pebble]

Where do I get kurumis augment

[viscid swift]

wait for your server to reach 0% on area 6

[brisk dragon]

it's 1 fleet for multiple bosses right?

[viscid swift]

yes but your HP gets restored after each fight

[karmic pebble]

Dang...back to work ig🤦🏿‍♂️

[brisk dragon]

ok so it's also better for farming intimacy. only downside is less event points. ye?

[tame pivot]

Ahh, makes sense now..

[viscid swift]

yep

[agile patrol]

.
AVP NEEDS FS5???
okay nvm im switching to AVP then.
i already have a good BB lineup. Lion Soyuz BisZwei for my BB opsi fleet

[red sapphire]

Yes because slow becomes 100% chance

[tulip tinsel]

??? tohka ain't a UR

[pine whale]

Ffs. Forget that then

[glacial heath]

Is any of the collab ships worth it for a new player?

[heady jasper]

anyone know how to clear the escort fleet missions in 1 go?

[pine whale]

Unlocking Kurumi is a sufficient start. Get to chapter 3 and prepare to farm

[heady jasper]

kurumi is good?

[pine whale]

That I can't say for certain but she's "interesting" allegedly

[tulip tinsel]

can't call her very good but for new players she's good considering she's free

[heady jasper]

prepare to farm for what actually

[viscid swift]

you can't

[pine whale]

To unlock her permanently

[viscid swift]

most of them need multiple runs to finish

[heady jasper]

damn okay thanks

[viscid swift]

they're decent but unless you're a collector it'd be better to save for the december UR

[dense knot]

why are some of my units gone when i create a formation on hard mode

[viscid swift]

huh

[sweet delta]

hard mode has hull type limits, if you clicked a box with a hull lock then only ships of that hull will be available

[knotty jolt]

Have they fixed immortal kurumi btw this this morning patch?

[sweet delta]

what is there to fix

[knotty jolt]

[onyx flame]

something about kurumi clone being create with an invincible effect like from gold rudder and basically being immortal or something, idk the specific

[dense knot]

it says dd underneath it is that you’re referring to

[heady jasper]

at what stage do i need to farm for something

[onyx flame]

yea that slot specific wants a destroyer aka dd

[dense knot]

are these like weakness types

[viscid swift]

no

[dense knot]

how do i deposit my oil

[viscid swift]

the characters are warships and warships have different hull classifications like battleship, aircraft carrier, detsroyer, light cruiser, heavy cruiser

[dense knot]

when i type in a number it goes back to 0

[viscid swift]

storage is only for oil collected from the mail

[dense knot]

so is this important gameplay wise

[dense knot]

aw i thought it was a bank of sorts

[viscid swift]

only in so much as you have main fleets and vanguards and the hull type restrictions in hard mode

[dense knot]

are either of these 2 good

[viscid swift]

no, and the latter is limit breaking fodder for SRs

[dense knot]

i see

[eager mulch]

[dense knot]

do you always have to bring a new ship into your team and spam missions for exp like in pokemon

is there not a way to feed them materials for levels

[eager mulch]

there is

[dense knot]

how do i

[eager mulch]

you can put them in 1st floor dorm (slow)
use them in commissions (slow)
feed them books (expensive)

you tap on the xp bar in the ship menu

[dense knot]

where can i feed books

[viscid swift]

omg it's turtle

[karmic pebble]

Nah bro 0.09... how do I increase it

[viscid swift]

there's a thing above the xp bar of the ship in info

[dense knot]

thanks so much why has nobody told me this

[eager mulch]

amaginom

[barren cedar]

Are the new units of the event worth to upgrade considering in "new"?

[eager mulch]

idk they’re new don’t know how good they are

[karmic pebble]

Is there a way to crank up these numbers?? 0.09 is wild dawg

[dense knot]

is the gear in this game the equivalent to a relic artifact system

[viscid swift]

no idea what that is

[tulip tinsel]

??? don't know what that is and not likely the case

[onyx flame]

its server based so hope more people do it

its not relic based

[dense knot]

when you farm for equipment with particular stats which benefit your character like crit damage etc

[tulip tinsel]

this isn't genshin

gear have fixed stats

[viscid swift]

you do have to farm for better gear but 95% of the time good gear is good on anything that can use it

[dense knot]

so outside of levels is gear the most important to clear levels

[viscid swift]

something like that yeah

skill levels, limit breaks, affinity, tech, character quality are varying degrees of important

[proper violet]

Is musashi meant to be in the side or middle?

[sweet delta]

flag middle

[iron hare]

There is no oil cap in the even maps?

[knotty jolt]

only sector 6

[heady jasper]

where can i farm gold ship blueprints like for retrofit

[proper violet]

Musashi Newjersey and who would be a good third main ship?

[gleaming bloom]

How to get dorm coin. I want to buy stuff to decorate

[knotty jolt]

hard mode campaign map

[soft raft]

For what purpose?
Also frankly how TF are we supposed to answer that when we have no idea who else you have and what state they're in

[hushed sorrel]

mostly from commissions but also from other sources like the battle pass

[proper violet]

For missions/OpSi I guess

[gleaming bloom]

Can date a live skin be buy even after event ended (||I don't got money yet 💔||)

[soft raft]

Hard mode
X-1 for DD
X-2 for CA/CL
X-3 for BB/BC
X-4 for CV/CVL

[soft raft]

OpSi is a different matter and tf do you mean by missions?

[peak fable]

am I delusional or does farming this event feel really bad...?

[hushed sorrel]

most likely not only if they will be a reevent but thats on the rare side for collabs

[soft raft]

It is permanently poof until the slim chance that the Collab rerund

[proper violet]

The story missions?

[dense knot]

to get 3 stars on a mission do i have to beat every other ship before the boss

[viscid swift]

It is

[proper violet]

Like how deep in the tism are we talking bout?

[iron hare]

100 oil/run? That is fucking expensive

[soft raft]

So campaign
Which then you'd need to state which specific stage you're on

At this point just post your dock in a thread

[peak fable]

I hope there is something better to farm after Sector 6, cause if there aint, I may just full skip the event

[soft raft]

Sector 6 is the last stage
But at least it has oil cap

[proper violet]

Awe so like every stage is big different later on? And no one size fits all work?

[hushed sorrel]

there is sector 1-6, nothing after that was annouced

[viscid swift]

There isn't

[soft raft]

Pre W12 you can get away with basically anything as long as it's decently well built

But W13 and afterwards there isn't any real one size fits all due to how different those worlds are compared to eachother

[proper violet]

Awe am at W10 atm

Was thinking shinano cause hot

And good

[dense knot]

are formations important and when do i use which

[eager mulch]

wiki member blaster is new

[proper violet]

Honestly not sure, but line goes hard lmao

[viscid swift]

Pretty much always double line

[proper violet]

New knowledge, is it like balanced mode or?

[viscid swift]

Because more vanguard survivability is almost always more valuable than a bit more damage

[proper violet]

Ooooohhh

[viscid swift]

And circular formation you would only even consider on AA heavy maps

[proper violet]

Yeah ok thanks o wise one

[dense knot]

should i be concerned by these stats

[inland shoal]

Not really

[proper violet]

Unicorn heals, helena debuffs

[knotty jolt]

be concerned it's an A rank

[forest palm]

the lack of limit breaks...

[knotty jolt]

A rank means someone died in that fight

[inland shoal]

Or they took absolute ages

[tulip tinsel]

the most important thing you should be concerned about is that lack of stars

[knotty jolt]

Strong early collection late

[inland shoal]

Kurumi could be somewhat interesting

[proper violet]

Kurumi seems cool, cool gimmick

[heady jasper]

kurumi always cool. zafkiel

[proper violet]

I am so mad I need origano to have all of em

[dense knot]

yea my helena died

[proper violet]

I just want all so I can stop pulling

[proper violet]

What got her

[tulip tinsel]

that's because helena is squishy

especially with 1lb

[inland shoal]

I suppose lacking limit breaks, levels and most likely equips didn't help either

[proper violet]

Tru

[knotty jolt]

I think kurumi off tank would be better then helena

[proper violet]

Helena always furthest back

[dense knot]

the boss at the end she took alot of damage because i had to fight a billion ships to reach the boss

[gleaming bloom]

💔

[dense knot]

wdym off tank

[inland shoal]

If by furthest back you mean middle then sure

[knotty jolt]

Front posistion is main tank last posistion is off tank

[dense knot]

whats this stuff

[inland shoal]

left = front = tank, middle, right = back = off tank

[knotty jolt]

Skills upgrading

[proper violet]

Yeah I meant protected the whole ship select fricked me hard

[trim sparrow]

Sup guys just checking, the Yamai twins only available in shop and pulls right? No map drop?

[tulip tinsel]

map s6

[dense knot]

better?

[proper violet]

She is in event shop ye

[dense knot]

is it worth it for me upgrade kurumi and kotori skills

[proper violet]

Kurumi doing black everything gotta be motivated

[inland shoal]

Most of all you wanna upgrade Unicorn healing skill

[trim sparrow]

Oh damn right on

[proper violet]

You are goddam right

[tulip tinsel]

upgrade uni skill and someone else like kurumi ig

[dense knot]

her carrier? and which book should i use

[knotty jolt]

Ones to match the skill's color for bonus XP

[inland shoal]

Always use the matching colour (+150%)

(At least until you're rich)

[proper violet]

Who the left front bi again?

[inland shoal]

Yeah looks like her blue skill is rather worth to upgrade

[tulip tinsel]

portland

[proper violet]

She good?

[dense knot]

which kurumi skill do i upgrade

[tulip tinsel]

early game sure

never used her

[proper violet]

Is the starters better than portland or different roles?

[tulip tinsel]

port cheap tank

[sweet delta]

Should kurumi be A, S, or SS tier for chapter 14 mob?

[proper violet]

Awee

Yeah I didnt have a tank for a long time, I still dont I think

[inland shoal]

No clue, I don't really know how well she does yet especially with augment

[icy creek]

Hello they said there was a patch for the gold reward in coalition but I don't see any diff. Is it normal ?

[sweet delta]

According to the bot, all three date a live vanguard ships are significantly tankier than retrofit Portland if you max them

[proper violet]

I use sheffield meta, helena and Z23 rn

Helena and z23 retro

[tulip tinsel]

get that purple meta out of there 🙏

[knotty jolt]

Get a portland in that fleet

Pretty much every purple quality meta is not woth the investment

[tulip tinsel]

used foch meta early game, worst mistake i made

[proper violet]

Ok so replace sheffield meta?

[tulip tinsel]

yes

[dense knot]

to get 3 stars do j always have to beat every ship before the boss

[proper violet]

Would any of these be better than portland?

[inland shoal]

Yes

[errant jacinth]

is there one that's the best of the three?

[knotty jolt]

yes but the resources need to make them better wouldn't be that good for you

[pallid wind]

per chance im asking for a friend but if you instantly upgraded kurumi to tier 6 lvl 70 off the bat using bulins and then the next day you find out in the milestone rewards that you get 3 of her to use to limitbreak, what would you do after you get those 3 kurumi are they useless now?

[proper violet]

Same for chikuma/yuudachi meta?

[knotty jolt]

You could always hold onto the copies and have more

It's what i'm planning to do

[pallid wind]

so like just for display 😭

[knotty jolt]

Gotta flex on the brokies

[bleak junco]

Either retire or keep one if you have her skin and wanna have both versions on your screen lollll

[proper violet]

Is it also too expensive for yuudachi meta and chikuma?

[bleak junco]

Cause I don’t see what other use those dupes would have for you

[pallid wind]

ok this is a fire idea

[knotty jolt]

metas are considerably less expensive to max but not many are useful even for SRs and chikuma idk

[tulip tinsel]

tell that friend to use those 3, mlb them and get them to level 125 (joke of course)

[proper violet]

Portland it is, any other same price but better ships?

For cheap tank I mean

[inland shoal]

I mean the cost is really just the 4 gold bulins. I don't think Poi meta is particularly good so I wouldn't raise her. I think the best ship there strictly as Portland replacement would be Kurumi

But Portland is recommended for the very reason that she is the best really cheap and accessible tank

[knotty jolt]

All eHP is calculated with portland retrofit as the base of 100%

[proper violet]

Yeah ok, assuming all kurumi gotten she better then?

[knotty jolt]

i mean why not also have portland and kurumi

[proper violet]

Replacez23?

[knotty jolt]

i mean depends

[proper violet]

Cause Z23 retrofitted and shi, I would assume better but idk

[knotty jolt]

I mean starters are our starters cause they're very reliable

[proper violet]

Yee, I def need a tank fr fr, so portland for now for sure, kurumi maybe if I get all of em

How bout sirius, would sirius be a better tank?

[dapper violet]

Where do I need to recruit her? I search on build but didn't find her, is she on the event?

[tulip tinsel]

sirius is for CV buff

[proper violet]

Oh, where can I farm portland?

[tulip tinsel]

you grind event or campaign and get the stuff you need to get her

[light trail]

do you permanently get kurumi after securing sector 6?

[proper violet]

I think 10-4 was one, but am at 10-1 atm :C

[light trail]

or is it like loyalty

[dapper violet]

Ohh and what is this stuff? I'm still new so the event is a little overwhelming..

[light trail]

oh i see. forgot where to check the progress

[tulip tinsel]

read this

[dapper violet]

Is that on event page? Or somewhere I'm not unlock yet?

[proper violet]

Anyone know which campaign had portland?

[rain vine]

buy her from guild shop

[tulip tinsel]

click event icon with purple hair girl(tohka)

[dapper violet]

I see

[proper violet]

Tru, should I not save guild money for something else or?

Oooohhh wiki mode nice

[tulip tinsel]

should be there on the wiki

[rain vine]

no

[proper violet]

I just found out there is secretary missions, I am lvl 78

Holy shmoly

[rain vine]

you can get guild coins by just joining a guild that does operations and participating in them

[proper violet]

Ty love you

[dense knot]

whats the best way to get kurumi i just finished chapter 3

[hollow gust]

Grind event stage

[dense knot]

like sector 1?

[delicate void]

Yo what do you have on her right now, I don’t know what gear to put on her

[stone sluice]

What’s the max FP (dds and bbs) and AVI tech you can get as of now?

[wind hazel]

check https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/tracker

[rain vine]

clear the other nodes once each to unlock t6

[dense knot]

is it more worth it to use prototype bulin MKII to limitbreak kotori or kurumi

[dense knot]

i think im underlevelled for the others right now

[wind hazel]

you can get 4 copies of kurumi so bear that in mind

[dense knot]

will i be able to

[wind hazel]

depends on how much you play really

[dense knot]

how do i get the copies is it difficult

[wind hazel]

this

[dense knot]

would spending my fuel on sector 1 with kurumi on the team be enough

[hollow gust]

You get 11 Kurumi points per clear without Kurumi

You only need 1k

[wind hazel]

ideally you move to sector 2-5, even better at sector 6

[hollow gust]

~~theoretically it's faster to spam the easy ones with Kurumi cause harder difficulty is only 1 more ~~

[wind hazel]

well getting kurumi isn't the only thing i had in mind so...

[bleak junco]

It’s actually two more but I guess yeah

[quaint oracle]

does this event give affinity for winning battles?

[bleak junco]

Probably

It seems to still do the mvp thing so…

I think it would also give you affinity too

[quaint oracle]

okie

[sleek barn]

Here you go

[weary gust]

Mog gun for her secondary is just ... yeah.

[hollow gust]

Not rainbow AA gun

Also isn't the IJN one better

[wind hazel]

what ijn

[proper violet]

Plus fuel efficient to go lower stages since less ships

[bleak junco]

Are you talking about the unzen one or

[delicate void]

Thank you!

[dense knot]

is it worth spending gems for another row in dorm

[wind hazel]

3rd dorm slot+second floor

[drowsy quest]

Need tips, feel lost i dont if im going the right way with my formation, im at 7-1 on story mode

[wind hazel]

you're lacking a tank

[dense knot]

why do my 5 auto battles stop after 3 when i’m doing sector 1

[ivory sigil]

is there any way to get coin efficient as a newbie?

[wind hazel]

ch9 is the earliest

otherwise anything highest stage is your best source of coin income

🫃🏼 it will be dogshit before ch9

[proper violet]

How much you get for chapter 1 vs chapter 2? Is it just 2 more?

In event I mean

[wind hazel]

2 more what

[proper violet]

Kurumi points

[wind hazel]

think it's 3

unless chinese wiki has different points than global

11 sector 1
14 sector 2-5
16 sector 6

[proper violet]

Yeah ok, I need like lowest oil use per kurumi points

[wind hazel]

sector 6 then

unless you wanna low oil sector 2-5

[dense knot]

why do people recommend event stages when its like 60 oil for 11 points in sector 1 but chapter 3 stage 1 is 10 oil for 7 points

[wind hazel]

because you aren't only doing event stage just for kurumi's currency

you're also getting event currency to buy out stuff from event shop

[proper violet]

Wait why else are we doing it for

Oh yeah

[wind hazel]

[proper violet]

That was such a given it slipped my mind

Does it matter if the rating is A when you win?

[wind hazel]

not sure but it surely affects the other rewards you getting, so get S

[drowsy quest]

Who is a good tank and who to replace from my formation?

[proper violet]

Shii, I can't get S on all on lvl 80 one

[dense knot]

why cant i pur kurumi in dorm

[proper violet]

But tbf my fleet building skill ahh

[wind hazel]

well what else do you have? portland is the most accessible one

[wind hazel]

is she still npc?

[dense knot]

yes

[wind hazel]

then that's why. you can't put NPC in dorm

[proper violet]

You gotta unlock her for dorm or secretary

Me when I used rental ticket on her skin thinking I could secretary her

[dense knot]

w logic -> unlock kurumi -> play with kurumi -> need dorm -> need kurumi

[wind hazel]

you dont need to use her to get her

[proper violet]

Just gives extra

[dense knot]

oh

[wind hazel]

we're just in day 2 out of 14 lol

[proper violet]

Ye we getting her for sure

[eternal basalt]

She is not date-locked, you can get her now

[hollow gust]

I got her 3rd copy already

[drowsy quest]

I got this just with a few levels up, i got portland, who should i remove from the formation?

[proper violet]

Idek who huan is

[hollow gust]

Huang unironically not that shit for a Chinese ship

Not getting ouni or owari is fat rip

[proper violet]

I bet he does pool cleaning well that Huan fella

I got owari she good?

[hollow gust]

2nd best gold BB so like barley in the top 10 BB

[proper violet]

Also 140 pulls 0 unzen...

[sleek barn]

Np

[proper violet]

Who is best bb gold?

[sweet delta]

Oumi or Daisen depending

[wind hazel]

remove z23 if you gonna mlb hatsu, remove hatsu if you wanna save your gold bulin

[drowsy quest]

Thanks, my next question is is hatsu worth to mlb?

[proper violet]

I hate hatsu, not cause of her, but got 3 of her 0 of unzen

[drowsy quest]

Damn

[wind hazel]

eh i'd rather save it for better ships

-# that you dont have now

[drowsy quest]

Like….? Lol
Damm i already waste some gold bulin on her

[wind hazel]

mainly main fleet ships

what medal hull do you have on medal shop?

[ivory sigil]

is there any solution to help on a sudden pause bug while in battle? it had occur to me too many time that oil just all gone

[wind hazel]

the game will autopause if you bug out during the battle, resuming it won't consume additional oil

if you're having emulator issue, try using mumu12

if it's phone... get a new phone

[analog tendon]

I just reached 300 bp for Anchorage. Who should i focus for catch-up after her? Shimanto?

[wind hazel]

agir

[sweet delta]

Are you using BlueStacks or ldplayer?

Try mumu player 12, because other emulator will keep doing that

Bind account with yostar to transfer it over of course

[ivory sigil]

hmm sure then i think mumu does sound reasonable

iirc i did try play DateALive Spiritgamingy by download mumu on my 2010laptop and it died shortly after 💀

dont worry i have 2020laptop for now, mumu must work right

[ivory sigil]

i already create the acc with yostar acc, i had history of playing AK and Mahjongsoul

[wind hazel]

ingame binding to yostar is different than the official yostar account that is totally unrelated to the binding process

[analog tendon]

should i also pick Serie 4 as my Research Focus? Or a different Serie?

[wind hazel]

go to ingame settings and double check and see if your account is properly bound

[wind hazel]

series 8

[magic fable]

are any of these meowofficers worth the core

[wind hazel]

drake good

[drowsy quest]

Im lost here let me check

[peak fable]

are we actually farming this event...

the voices get louder with each 5 auto runs

[wind hazel]

mute them

[drowsy quest]

Is this what are you talking about?

[peak fable]

ever since I started farming this event, my research exp moved faster towards 0% than 100%

[woven star]

20 medals... not much for pick

[gleaming bloom]

What chance to get purple rarity ship from doing stage

[violet grail]

I was making more progress with xp to unlock fdg in opsi than in this event

But still gotta get all them shop goodies.

[undone plover]

many times events are not ideal for xp and coin grinding
but the event shop and milestone makes it worth

[kind slate]

What sub fleet should I make?

[knotty jolt]

considering the good subs are not even max limit broken standard wolf pack

But if you don't plan to use them in actual battle just 404 for the cross fleet is good enough

[kind slate]

who are the good ones? I have a few gold bulins. Also who’s Wolfpack again?

[knotty jolt]

Wolfpack are the german subs like u96,u81 and u101 etc

[woven star]

As 404 not mlb better set woolf pack 96, 101... and 47 igues

[knotty jolt]

Good subs would be obviously the rainbow of i404 and flasher

and the best sub fleet would be 404,flasher, and archer fish but seeing as you dont have her second best would likely be either 96 or41 idk which

[kind slate]

So rn I would go for Wolfpack while maybe getting 404 built?

[knotty jolt]

Only if you plan to use them in actual combat otherwise it'd be a waste of resources

[kind slate]

I’m planning for w15

[knotty jolt]

Then ye go for it

[drowsy quest]

This is what i got on medal shop

[kind slate]

I might have asked this yesterday but I don’t think I got an answer..
is it worth making a third tenrai?

[knotty jolt]

seems like a waste imo

[kind slate]

aight. Is there a list or guide to how many of each gear I should have?

[woven star]

U have 20 medals. And ship purchase need 80. Usually I'd say Kazagumo but imo better wait for next month and pray for bb pack. SR ships can be expensive for beginners

And usually this more important

[ivory sigil]

what does this mean?

[drowsy quest]

Whats other way to
Get more medals? Just retire ships? If something is worth to get from there i can get more medals

[ivory sigil]

does it mean in 19 hours if i cant get 1million exp i would lose it ?

[peak fable]

it means if you run the event 3 more times, you will see negative percentage numbers

you go into exp debt

[woven star]

Scrap unnecessary elite ships @drowsy quest just leveling and farm chapters and scrap elite and rare ships

[knotty jolt]

the timer just says when the next requirement unlocks

meaning even if you complete the 1mil xp requirement in like 1 hour you'd still need to wait 18 hours till you can even start the next one

[drowsy quest]

Thanks just saw the specialized core is more valuable

[tulip tinsel]

You grab 3 eagle union vanguard ships and sortie and get 3m xp in total

[wind hazel]

yeah, just buy kazagumo, save it for 2nd fleet

[woven star]

And btw never pull ships with medals. Just a waste of them

@wind hazel what's Alien M. rate btw? Never saw it high but her second AA sounded interesting

[rain bobcat]

mediocre

[drowsy quest]

Thanks for the tips

[rain bobcat]

AA is basically "above dogshit but 10x worse than anyone with actual AA)

[woven star]

She has 70% trigger her AA buff and barrage which kind sucks. But in general use she not so bad. Just my point

[knotty jolt]

[woven star]

[wind hazel]

idk go check tierlist
/tierlist

[rain bobcat]

let me give this to you straight

she does 0 damage, and her actual AAcan be described as "above dogshit but 10x worse than anyone with actual AA"

to make her actually useful in the AA criteria she would have to run AA radars

[peak fable]

who is the best gold ship vanguard main tank?

[wind hazel]

anchorage

[rain bobcat]

ancho

[ocean terrace]

hey how do the new DAL ships stack up?

[rain bobcat]

gold

[woven star]

Nvm

[knotty jolt]

[rain bobcat]

above average, use if you want, dead weight in ch15

[ocean terrace]

all of them?

[rain bobcat]

basically. yeah

[ocean terrace]

I thought a couple of them were pretty good like Kotori and Kurumi

[wind hazel]

define pretty good

[rain bobcat]

the actual one above the rest would be origami being better than enterprise on average for normal content

[ocean terrace]

well they're not UR ships but you know, very useable

[wind hazel]

then they are pretty good

[ocean terrace]

compared to most SRs I mean

[rain bobcat]

if usable means ur fleet is not gimped before ch15

then they are above average

[dapper violet]

Why I can't play on the event stage? What the condition mean?

[knotty jolt]

you have it on coalition mode

[ocean terrace]

what's your standard of being good in ch15?

[knotty jolt]

did you fill out the other fleet?

[ocean terrace]

like the top top tier ships?

[dapper violet]

Other fleet? Like, the second one?

[woven star]

Not so bad as I expected

[rain bobcat]

someone that doesn't fold immediately against a planes

[knotty jolt]

yes on coalition mode you need each fleet filled

[rain bobcat]

using 1 of them for ch15 is probably fine. >1 ur fleet is gimped

[dapper violet]

I see.. The SS too?

[ocean terrace]

oh right, got it ty

[knotty jolt]

you can just turn it to solo mode and use only the one fleet

[woven star]

Depends would u want save oil or not

[knotty jolt]

i'd recommend that if you dont have the ships to make more then one aswell as just book it to sector 6

[ivory sigil]

i open a tier4 eagle tech box and got a 1st gold equipment ...

but it was only for AR ship ??? what kind of ship is that

[sweet delta]

I don't think they're booking it to sector 6 with a Juno and level 10 long island

[sweet delta]

Akashi, Vestal, Vestal META, and Hestia are the repair ships

[rain bobcat]

why was there a 90MB patch, did kurumi get patched or something

[verbal plinth]

coins fix

[flat fractal]

is the xp given in these event stages good at all, trying to progress lab research while doing it but seems like its not worth even trying to lmao

[rain bobcat]

huh

do people not understand that each fleet is only doing 1 BATTLE PER CLEAR??

[woven star]

Look at this from another point. No drop ships so u haven't overfull dock

[rain bobcat]

paired with event level exp, of course its slow

[woven star]

And affinity not so fast drop

[knotty jolt]

Considering people think the number goes up instead of down cut em some slack

[flat fractal]

i know that its 1 battle lmfao, im just wondering if the xp from one battle of this is similar or a lot less than stages

also didnt know that event xp was generally seen as low

[rain bobcat]

events have a maximum yield of ch9-10

[woven star]

Maybe chapter 9 exp of chapter 14 oil cost

[flat fractal]

ahh i see i see

[rain bobcat]

aka if it weren't for the point milestone, no one actually likes farming event

[flat fractal]

gotcha, thank you!

[rain bobcat]

still, this event is very cheap to farm so it shouldn't cut your costs down too much

[ocean terrace]

considering I have both Kotori and Warspite at MLB (no augment for warspite yet), who should I prioritise with gear and resources? I'm trying to retrofit warspite but it's taking a while

[woven star]

Better skip warspite retro for a while

[ocean terrace]

why's that?

[woven star]

Too expensive and low ship performance

Kotori looks like more pvp ship

[pine whale]

• What are those coalition battles in events?
• I also don't understand what these abbreviations on the event priority on Sam's site mean

[woven star]

Warspite consider as worst retro ship in the game

[rain bobcat]

???

[reef flume]

Her augment made her great again

[rain bobcat]

warspite is just about as good as NJ

[pine whale]

Stages: SP (once daily) > D3 > D1 > D2 > C2 > B3 > Highest stage doable.

[ivory pawn]

Warspite is far from the worst retro ship in the game.
Her issue is just the same as always, the cost to value ratio is whack.

[rain bobcat]

wrong assumptions because it was a new format

it's just sector 6 as many as you can until you reach the amount of points you need

[woven star]

For pvp where she loose her role again almost after week her augment was released

[rain bobcat]

?

[ocean terrace]

honestly I'm not sure on who to put my resources into and who to aim to get for my fleet (considering I'm pretty new at level 35)

[sweet delta]

Certainly not Warspite

[kind slate]

I’m currently using amagi/implac/shinano for anti heavy. If I want anti light, can I just replace gear with rockets or smth? Or should I make a whole different fleet

[rain bobcat]

can u stop spreading random bits and pieces of misleading information lol

[sweet delta]

Depends if you have a better fleet

[rain bobcat]

warspite is a UR lvl BB with a main issue of costing 2000 spec cores

she's not bad when ur lacking UR level BBs and have no other URs to do

[kind slate]

my fleet rn.
The bottom one I don’t use at all

[ivory pawn]

They’re special stages where you fight a series of battles instantly, instead of the typical run around a map and fight battles. The fancy bit is you can choose to use either one fleet (your choice), or you can more fleets (depends on stage, up to 4 on SP6) for more reward.

[rain bobcat]

this fleet doesn't even need to change gears, +13 AP guns will still kill temperance harbiter with lion

[kind slate]

Is temperance the light one?

[rain bobcat]

when you have lion and zwei you quite literally do not need other fleets in opsi period

[ocean terrace]

what if the only other mlb BB I have is Kotori, and I have no UR ships at all. I'm wondering if I should even be pulling anymore for this event

[kind slate]

yippee. 🥳

[rain bobcat]

yes, though its not exactly a high bar because even torpedo equipped heavy CV team can kill it

[sweet delta]

You shouldn't pull more unless you enjoy date a live

[woven star]

FdG much cheaper. And I said worse retro. Maybe Ydachy some near that rate. Are u recommend retro warspite or pick FdG?

[rain bobcat]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/ just follow this but replace pennsylvania with kotori and chill until ch10-11

[ocean terrace]

got it thanks

[sweet delta]

Warspite retro also takes away resources from unicorn and Portland and independence which I don't think a level 35 player has finished yet

[ocean terrace]

I got advice to pull all the DAL ships and make a fleet out of it since I'm new

[sweet delta]

Who gave you that advice?

[pine whale]

Is "sector" a whole event chapter, or sub section of a single "event-chapter"?

[rain bobcat]

[ocean terrace]

people in my guild lmao

[rain bobcat]

each stage is called a sector. its a new format which I actually like because it's cheap as hell to farm

[viscid swift]

The people in your guild are trolls or don't know the game

[pine whale]

So stage is single level. 6th level?

[rain bobcat]

clear every level from 1-5 once to unlock 6 and farm 6

[pine whale]

Sam's site, not my assumption

[viscid swift]

What

[rain bobcat]

he's not talking to u

[pine whale]

Thanks.

Ah. I see. My bad. Multiple people talking

[rain bobcat]

all good

[woven star]

Just make a thread and show your dock. And pleased to split main and vanguards ships on picture

[rain bobcat]

stig have you looked at tohka's dps

[sweet delta]

Kurumi will be at least S tier for w14mob same as Momo , no fleet buffs and worse blockers but won't die

[rain bobcat]

is this asuming she is patched

also interestingly, her clone seems to wander behind the vanguard instead of infront for most of the fight

[sweet delta]

I don't see how or why she would be patched

[rain bobcat]

rudder bug

[knotty jolt]

In the words of todd howard "It just works"

[rain bobcat]

clone inherits a parameter that when, kurumi has rudder effect active, makes the clone have perma 100% eva rate allowing 100% heals

[lean spire]

Am I allowed to retire rare units?

[sweet delta]

that won't matter in most battles

[wind hazel]

how's her personal dps?

[ocean terrace]

New Player needing help with fleetbuilding and making progress

[rain bobcat]

where are the lazy fucks on sandy

[lean spire]

So it's okay?

[rain bobcat]

was already expecting kurumi to be somewhat good to begin with

im interested in taking tohka higher up so im speed farming her

[hollow gust]

Thats %/h is so stupid , it resets every time hour ticks over lmao

[quiet kiln]

mb i fell asleep

[ivory pawn]

I doubt sushi was talking to you, but it's fine. I would make a point to only retire the ones you can farm or the ones from guild/merit shop.

[rain bobcat]

ahh it resets to 0?

LMAO that is so stupid

[hollow gust]

Yeah so it's more of a how much % did you clear at this hour

[rain bobcat]

[wind hazel]

that doesn't sound right

[hollow gust]

It's 6:06 so .07% in 6 minutes

[rain bobcat]

that is quite stupid

[knotty jolt]

I'm trying

[wind hazel]

i didnt grind because i slept and it still show some % when it should be 0

[hollow gust]

Yeah bc they don't know how to code % in the past 60 minutes lmao

[knotty jolt]

I think im at about 30k points so i've been putting in work

[rain bobcat]

im roughly 30 ish as well

event is quite cheap which I like

I'd actually rather events be like this all the time

[wind hazel]

i'd rather not, this is dogshit

[rain bobcat]

though its quite punishing to new players

[sweet delta]

Id rather events give urgent commissions and medals

[rain bobcat]

15-18 cost x4 per 200 points

it's quite good

[wind hazel]

dont care, i'd rather 4oil for 80 points like usual

[hollow gust]

They should reward the fastest server

[rain bobcat]

then lil e's got no chance

im betting they haven't passed 50%

[wind hazel]

lil e with 19649123 hackers botting day0 clear

[hollow gust]

Well duh it's free goodies for avrora

[knotty jolt]

I wish i could exchange oil for event points and progress in exchange i don't get coins or xp etc

means i don't gotta spend time doing the battles and get back to proper farming

[ivory pawn]

61.04% remaining.

[rain bobcat]

LMFAO

[analog tendon]

You are being optimist, we haven't even got below 60%

[wise cairn]

Too little ppl here

[hollow gust]

Wow yall cheeks

[rain bobcat]

sandy and avrora frontrunners as usual

[knotty jolt]

I mean little e is the youngest so it got the smallest player size

[viscid swift]

You can't low cost, you can't abuse cross fleets, there's virtually no ship or plate drops, coin income awful as usual

[wise cairn]

Fair

[hollow gust]

Sandy was up by a lot actually, we caught up and now should be fastest

[viscid swift]

And the most optimal way to farm splits the xp across 4 fleets

[agile patrol]

what happens when the sector 6 percentage thingy goes down to 0 in the date a lane event??

[rain bobcat]

you get the final augment

[knotty jolt]

We get kurumi's augment

[sweet delta]

you get a gear skin

[knotty jolt]

and one whole cube

[analog tendon]

For a moment my brain autocorrected this as the final judgement

[rain bobcat]

praise that guy who went 400 pulls for twins of all things when he cleared the banner in 60

[agile patrol]

buuuuut what makes the percentage goes down? seems it keeps fluctuating between 2.5%-ish and 0.5% per hour

[knotty jolt]

players doing the event

[agile patrol]

ohhhh
i assumed it was my own participation but i realized thats not the case

[rain bobcat]

horrible coding resetting the percentage thing

but it should be roughly 2.5+ for the top serversper hour

[knotty jolt]

i think at one point i saw it hit 3%~

[hollow gust]

rawrrrrrrrr

[wind hazel]

[rain bobcat]

wonder where washi is at

washi was basically lil E in 2020, it was the default selected server

[wind hazel]

i can answer you in 5mins

[hollow gust]

Should only be 3-5% behind , lili e somehow manages to be 30% behind but oh well

[rain bobcat]

the goats

[brisk dragon]

how do i enable ambushes again in main story stages?

[viscid swift]

get your recon value high enough

[hollow gust]

No CVs No DDs

[brisk dragon]

i turned off clearing mode but i don't think it worked

[wind hazel]

why do you want ambush

[sweet delta]

yeah fr idk how people farm affinity like that

[wind hazel]

is this some hidden strat

[hollow gust]

Shut Strat , you are mostly limited by moral for affinity

[wind hazel]

washington

[brisk dragon]

so how do i enable them them again?

[hollow gust]

No CVs No DDs -_-

[brisk dragon]

oh that answer was for me
thought it was for someone before me. mb

[hollow gust]

The less recon value you have the greater chance of ambush

[brisk dragon]

how do i know max recon value i shouldn't go above for ambush?

[rain bobcat]

oh barely behind

37.97 rn sandy

[wind hazel]

samheart with 91619032 accounts running, and me

[rain bobcat]

ok so

I've found the solution to doing high quality image on my interaction repository but it will make this take longer since I can't read chinese, only japanese

[hollow gust]

Fuck how we behind again

[dense elbow]

Now that I cleared opsi does getting gold mats become any easier?

[rain bobcat]

the goats have woken up, 37.84 rn

[hollow gust]

When I last farmed i pulled out a .7% lead -_-

[wind hazel]

still the same-ish grinding pattern

[rain bobcat]

I am farming rn so

[hollow gust]

I blame fucking smoothie

[ivory sigil]

wat does this mean

[rain bobcat]

[wind hazel]

you can instantly finish the skill training 10 times

[rain bobcat]

bad timing for new players lmao

[wind hazel]

8 or 12 hours become 0second when you click finish

[ivory sigil]

i dont get the "a day"
so you mean i literally waiting upgrade several days without noticed i can just click click click click click ?

[dense elbow]

Lame.

[rain bobcat]

this is gonna take a long ass time

[rain bobcat]

10 chances, resets every daily reset

[knotty jolt]

for the duration of this event

so you can instantly finish 140 books

[ivory sigil]

which skill should i prioritize lmao

[knotty jolt]

Whoever is your best ships

[weary gust]

Depends on your fleet and what you already have trained.

[cobalt robin]

LUCKE E

[weary gust]

Train skills for ships you use. Train better skills first.

[knotty jolt]

As someone with 4 classroom slots i'm gonna be so cooked after this event

[ivory sigil]

which skill for myship? [bg yoshino]

[hollow gust]

[pine whale]

So, the elephant in the room

How do I handle Kurumi's crap stamina, since I can't have her rest on the dorm

[cobalt robin]

why is bro using full fleets

[pine whale]

Rn she's at 93. Let's say I don't play for 8 hours. How do I even? I'm too underleveled for event. In fact I'm not even level 20

[sweet delta]

farm more to have her join permanently

[cobalt robin]

get the actual unit

[knotty jolt]

One way is if you can afford to run coalition full fleets just have her in the final battle fleet

[pine whale]

That's the problem. How do I farm if her recovery is botched

[sweet delta]

farm without her

[pine whale]

Farm without her. Ok. Sure

Thank you everyone

[viscid swift]

For the record this was done at a casual pace and I've used her in a fleet once

[wind hazel]

that looks pretty fast paced ngl

[cobalt robin]

if youre casual pace then what am i?

[knotty jolt]

I got 5140 points and im running her every last fleet battle

[viscid swift]

see

[cobalt robin]

3k doesnt seem casual tho

[wind hazel]

it isn't

[knotty jolt]

And I'm actually on the slower end of the hard grind squad too

[cobalt robin]

im at 1.5k

[hollow gust]

Cause oil cap

And there is low moral impact

[cobalt robin]

didnt know there was oil cap

[knotty jolt]

100 oil per full clear on sector 6

[cobalt robin]

damn

[iron ridge]

Which Collab ships worth getting

[viscid swift]

they're all pretty much collection

[iron ridge]

Not kurumi or anything?

[sweet delta]

you're wrong

||Tohka Yatogami DMG: 140422/112834/88001 DPS: 1755/1410/1100 for 80.0s
Unzen Gun, Twin 138.6, Twin 76mm, , , Sandalphon

Drake (Fs5) DMG: 93867/94282/76036 DPS: 1173/1179/950 for 80.0s
Unzen Gun, Imp. Quad Mag, Twin 76mm, , , Greatsword||

[viscid swift]

well Kurumi is free pretty much

[iron ridge]

She has clones too

[iron ridge]

Tohka is just Broken?

[viscid swift]

I mean she might be tanky but that's about it

[iron ridge]

True, somehow AL Chat in game is kinda not funny...

[wind hazel]

😭 save drake with augment

[iron ridge]

And weirdest ofc.

[slow fox]

-# Tohka the BOAT

[viscid swift]

nah, Drake DPS is hardly anything noteworthy

[clear harbor]

BBs that start with a preloaded volley can fire at the start of combat. Do these ships benefite from HSFCR? or should I just give them White Shell + Black Shell?

[iron ridge]

Yes

[wind hazel]

preload is counted as 0th, so their first shot still benefit from hpfcr

[slow fox]

Currently, her clones have a bug where they inherit invincibility skills. Besides that, due to their intermittent invulnerability skills, the clones are expected to last a long time. For most situations where a boss doesn't nuke the field, you can reasonably expect Kurumi to be immortal.*

*: Pending experimental validation.

[sweet delta]

Hindenburg (Dev30) DMG: 179306/137716/108289 DPS: 2241/1721/1354 for 80.0s
Unzen Gun, Imp. Quad Mag, Unzen Gun, , , Greatsword

[slow fox]

finally the suchimisinformation we've been looking for

[hollow gust]

Everything beats drake

[wind hazel]

kurumi wont beat drake no cap

[sweet delta]

why is it a bug though

[rain bobcat]

im at 2.5k

[slow fox]

-# Doesn't seem like indended behavior. Rudder invuln or eldridge invuln is supposed to run out after 2 and 8 seconds, respectively. Surely, that behavior is also meant to be inherited by the clones.

-# Unless they just leave it, then this thing gets promoted to design gameplay.
-# DIsregarding that,the clones still have a very high sustainability that can be used to supplement Kurumi's eHP.

[uneven knot]

do the twins drop from sector 6 aswell?

[cobalt robin]

any vanguards with good tech?

[sweet delta]

is 124% for mob or for single battle boss?

[rain bobcat]

am I missing any screens for unzen skin? I think that's all screens

[hollow gust]

Just use the fleet tech trackerhttps://retropaint.github.io/azur-lane-fleet-tech-tracker/

[wind hazel]

👴🏼 damn grey still using retropaint

[slow fox]

-# 124% is the number that assumes she gets healed ONE time by a clone for 50%, and that one clone dies for 2% heal. This probably needs to be updated, because the clones are supposedly super tanky.

-# tl;dr bad assumptions

[sweet delta]

but she heals at the end of each battle too

could be like 30% per battle

[slow fox]

-# Ah, I guess then this is a boss fight, because it assumes she dies at the end of the battle.

[hollow gust]

Ngl I like the formatting more from retro , not to mention all my data is saved

[rain bobcat]

it's probably safe to assume that kurumi won't die as long as there's a clone even if she is patched

[sweet delta]

that is indeed safe to assume because that's how the skill works

[cobalt robin]

what tech am i looking for on vanguards? eva?

[hollow gust]

Fp hit rld , and CA Eva

[remote kernel]

What is better for Yorktown II third plane slot, fighters or bombers?

[sweet delta]

the question of interest is how fast the clones die. For example, I don't think Kurumi will be main tanking Wichita META showdown

[sweet delta]

rocket fighters if L/M bossing, wyvern or flapjack if chapter 13/15, wyvern or tenrai if chapter 14

[slow fox]

-# I had a discussion with Thorin - we can reasonably expect the clones to outlast the vanguard thanks to their movement behavior (near the back?) and their invulnerability skill.
