[agile patrol]

yaaaa!! the thingy

[onyx flame]

Waiter waiter more twin 128

[wind hazel]

why is it giving me 127 and 120 results

[agile patrol]

alright im broker than i expected. i can't even craft a 1500 coin gun.

[sick kettle]

i finally got 9 ur main gun bp do i craft mk7 or type 98 kai first?

[onyx flame]

Backline does most of your dmg so i do mk7 first imo

[wind hazel]

mk7 only if you're gonna +13 it

[stark quiver]

kurumi tank

stop losing in pvp

[zenith heron]

Curious, but is it ok for letting my UR DD guns stay on +10 + unless +13 necessary?

[wind hazel]

i only have mog gun at +13 and im doing fine

[ivory sigil]

yeah i was like keep losing to get 25merit/per lose at low rank and get like 250 merit only everyday

but then i realize i could reach higher rank with DAL team that each win give 100merit, and even lose is better than at low rank

[stark quiver]

i only have 0 +13 dd guns and im doing fine

[ivory sigil]

but what to do with merit as a newbie? I only see ppl using it for fleet tech?

[rain vine]

gold bulins

[rain bobcat]

buy good ships or buy bulins

[onyx flame]

Only good ship is eldridge if you got her retro item

[late flame]

instructions unclear bought le malin muse

[wind hazel]

gold bulin for you until tech farming

[agile patrol]

questionnn
how am i (me) supposed to level up glorious meta's skills? it seems like it'll take months to level one skill to 10. am i doing something wrong?

[wind hazel]

put her on opsi mob fleet

[late flame]

but yeah i'd only start to buy ships from there if i actually run out* of ships to level / collect
which i am in no rush to do lol

[agile patrol]

ooohhhhh ...

[ivory sigil]

wait is that only work with meta? or work with everyship?

[onyx flame]

Tbf there is one ship you want to snipe in merit shop once you start working on fleet tech which id DoY cause +2rld

[late flame]

doy or dork = duke of york

[rain vine]

its only meta ships, they dont use skill books to level

[wind hazel]

only for meta ships, because they gain skill exp from the missions

they can be leveled with skill books, but meta skill books

[rain vine]

[ocean terrace]

where do I select the option for my mob fleet to target mobs and boss to target boss in auto search?

[wind hazel]

Role before you press Go

[onyx flame]

You do it when in the select fleet screen before starting you battle forgot what its called

[ocean terrace]

oh so I can't do it when I'm in, alright thank you

[late flame]

yeah

[onyx flame]

Just set fleet 1 as your grinding/mob fleet then you dont gotta bother

[ocean terrace]

ahhh I see

does it save for future stages?

[ivory sigil]

yeah this pic ^

[onyx flame]

It should save it

[ivory sigil]

im refer to this

[ocean terrace]

nono that's referring to the 2nd star, auto search doesn't go for every mob fleet, only the necessary number of fleets before boss

[onyx flame]

But i just set fleet 1 as my grinding fleet so i dont gotta bother to check

[agile patrol]

something's wrong
i bought out all the nanoceramic alloys in opsi shop, but i only have 5 in my depot??

it took my purple coins and gave me nothing :((
yes. i restarted the game

[ivory sigil]

wait it doesnt allow clear all mob?

[ocean terrace]

only the amount that makes boss fleet spawn

[ivory sigil]

wellsht

[ocean terrace]

it's more oil efficient to manually go for 2 star

but if you're farming the stage then auto is fine since you just need to beat the boss for stage rewards

[rain vine]

this is what you bought?

[ivory sigil]

they should add the all mob clear button, there is nothing wrong if mobfleet dies u still had boss fleet to take like 1 2 mobfleet without any trouble

[wind hazel]

#game-feedback give suggestion here

[onyx flame]

Idk why you want that cause its less coin per oil if you do

[ocean terrace]

just to get the 2nd star I assume

it's just a little extra effort to be honest, not game changing

[ivory sigil]

also i often prioritze 3triangle ship when having full bullet, imagine hitting them with 0 bullet

[viscid swift]

well that's part of the fun of fleet building

[agile patrol]

yaaa
i bought all of them, but only 5 are in my depot

[stray crane]

this is crazy, I dont have a ship that can equip this ...

[wind hazel]

try CB

you know, like Agir or Azuma

[wind hazel]

show screenshot of your shop, and your depot

[wind hazel]

did you use them?

[agile patrol]

i did not use them no

[wind hazel]

if not ask for refund #tech-support

[agile patrol]

okay

[reef bane]

should i buy the bulin

[onyx flame]

Not until you need it

Aka when you have enough to mlb a ur and want to mlb a ur

[primal yew]

Can anyone help me update my OpSi fleet 🙏 https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1444376719367868467

[vale hill]

is there a use of farming all copies of kurumi or would gold bulins function the same

[onyx flame]

It saves on gold bulins

[slow crag]

Yo

[whole crypt]

the event stage is so shit for coins

[slow crag]

Naw fr tho

I just threw what not on them, think we good?

[whole crypt]

you don't need to intentionally farm for them, you get the points just running stuff anyway, if you get more copies then you save bulins for LBing her, if you intend to raise her

[whole crypt]

vanguards for most part should be looking at durability auxes

[wind hazel]

you only managed to get the CV fighter tb and aux right lol

[whole crypt]

well the weapons I'm slightly less concerned can just chalk it up to lack of gear

[slow crag]

something better than nun

[wind hazel]

not wrong, but im sure you can do better

[whole crypt]

much better

[slow crag]

Lemme show what im working with

[whole crypt]

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

[slow crag]

[past bear]

Why am i not in the list?
Joking aside, twins dont need torp aux, just put toolbox and blue evasion gear iirc and they survive more

[whole crypt]

for most part no vanguard ship even wants twin oxytorps

[sweet delta]

what is Vanguard Fleet and what is Main Fleet?

[slow crag]

400 pulls

[past bear]

Unless your a mob fleet of torp meme that survive just right

[slow crag]

Stop resisting, please 😭

[vale hill]

how strong are the new event ships?

[past bear]

Tohka stronger than drake iirc

Just watch suchiguma youtube vids

https://youtu.be/25zbKzbOsSc?si=z9NBPt9_KEIjlsmQ

[whole crypt]

wait stig tohka is better than prake?

[past bear]

Drake gets powercreeped easily

[whole crypt]

that I know but collab CA being better than her is a different level

[slow crag]

@wind hazel idk wtf i got

[versed elk]

@whole crypt idk if u saw but chihaya is going on the first take to sing

[rapid shard]

Does throwing a AA radar on CVs increase dmg fighters do on interception or is it AVI stat that increases interception dmg

[whole crypt]

I'm on the comments

[versed elk]

765 goated

[whole crypt]

unrelated but since you brought it up

[whole crypt]

fighters scale on AVI, adding AA will only add to their AVI damage reduction when hit by planes

[trail dagger]

How to open this resupply page? no need to go to each port?

[rapid shard]

Thanks

[versed elk]

Chihaya fans

[whole crypt]

after you go through a monthly reset

[agile patrol]

for ur very first Opsi month, the shop UI will be the old one with each port separate

after ur first opsi reset, all of them are put into one shop

[whole crypt]

just Ps overall

[wind hazel]

if you could just take a look at the links you were given you would know what to use. if you dont have the ones on the guide then just use whatever you have. but you can definitely do better than what you're using now with that inventory

[slow crag]

alr bet ty

[trail dagger]

Okaay

1 more day, no more open each port thanks

[whole crypt]

who else has preload airstrike besides unicorn and aquila, only chise?

oh wait Retrosex has a pseudo preload thing doesn't she

[viscid swift]

Perseus

Formidable Muse if the requirements are met

[agile patrol]

she's called retrosex now 😭 💔???

[whole crypt]

I've seen people call her sex retro or something as long as it gets the point across

[whole crypt]

what was the req again, 2 more muses?

[fallen jay]

What’s the fastest/easiest way to grind 2.3 million exp aside from World 12-4? I ask cause of oil limit.

[whole crypt]

12-1

[chilly crow]

Is this 0% in any way consequential to the gameplay, if so how do I raise it?

[whole crypt]

it started at 100%, 0% means it's been cleared by the server

this event's stages uses a pseudo raid format, if you cleared a stage at least once before 0% you get the augment reward when it gets cleared, if not you'll need to get it from an event mission

[chilly crow]

Ic ic

[sullen dew]

What is "efficiency" in the gear equip screen?

[viscid swift]

it's just a damage multiplier

[stray crane]

i think all u gotta do is clear it once and u get the reward in the mail

[ivory pawn]

Had to clear it once before it hit 0%. If you missed it the augment got moved to the point milestones.

[stray crane]

oh okay

[stark quiver]

whats the fastest stronghold fleet

[sharp socket]

rainbow spam

[stark quiver]

that sounds ass and not the fastest

[sharp socket]

i spend more time getting stuck with bad framerate and game not processing information than being in battle so ive come to conclude that making the fastest fleet has very little gain compared to just something fast

[ivory sigil]

yessssssss unlocked

i ranout my final oil to reach lv60

[verbal plinth]

is what cn has but idk seems fast

mix of preloads and stagger

[stark quiver]

my game very fast

[stark quiver]

whats an alternative for gouden

[ivory sigil]

/opsi
opps
wheerr opsi guide

[stark quiver]

there is none

[hollow gust]

Huh Traffy

[verbal plinth]

think they have z52 as alt

[bright tusk]

What core ships are needed to farm coins and levelling in 13-4?

[ivory sigil]

wat to do when i start opsi?
@ocean terrace create a mobfleet and bossfleet?

[stark quiver]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/19P3KPrgOrzCySoUrjDZgsfqJsCpJCyb9XmmSKozVzbw/edit?usp=sharing
i lied, theres one but its kinda shit

[gray sphinx]

one mob one boss if you're starting out and don't have too many ships. Clear what you can and if your mob fleet and boss fleet are good enough two of those fleets should be good enough to clear strongholds as well

[ivory sigil]

yeah im reading it @stark quiver
any trap that i need to avoid?

[stark quiver]

they are 1-2 week player
i dont think they can make a mob and boss

[gray sphinx]

oh yea if you're a week 1 or 2 player you probably won't get far in opsi lol

[stark quiver]

not really

[ivory sigil]

so rough look is goona be like this?

wait forgot

lets just assume i have 0 gear, is there any major upgrade i need to put my hands on? like mlb someone?

if i press start does it allow redo from begin or i have to wait for 1 month etc?

[stark quiver]

Put your best ships in fleet 1

[stark quiver]

idk

[gray sphinx]

you can always fix your fleet later if that's what you're thinking about

[wind hazel]

you can redeploy your fleet for free every 24hr. it cost some AP if you redeploy less than that duration

[gray sphinx]

did they recently add fast forward to campaign stages btw? I don't remember it being there before

[wind hazel]

yes

[gray sphinx]

THANK THE LORD

[wind hazel]

thank the dev

[gray sphinx]

should've added it ages ago ngl

[ivory sigil]

what was it? skipable story button?

[gray sphinx]

no you just move faster on the map

[ivory sigil]

💀 what? the current speed rn is unlike in the past?

[gray sphinx]

I mean you gotta full clear the map first before you gain access to fast forward but if you did and have that activated then yes it was slower than that before

[ivory sigil]

how do you get yelllow plane for yoshino

what should i do 1st in the grablab thing

[slow crag]

Idk i just had a yellow one

[wind hazel]

it's a shit fighter

[slow crag]

It is?

[rapid shard]

Yeah it is lol you want to use purple corsair or x2 500lb gold fighters until you get flapjacks

[wind hazel]

you can even keep the purple corsair until you craft flapjack with it and skip gold hellcat

[atomic vortex]

Genuine question

Why is my Richelieus gun worse than NJs but the stat cards tell a different story

[rapid shard]

The quad guns are trash. Just because it does "more" dmg per salvo doesnt add up to the complete package.

[atomic vortex]

Why are they bad?

[rapid shard]

Youll get less total salvos as a start and the slight increase per dmg isnt worth how slow and how bad spread is on them. The purple triple 406 mk6 is the best BB HE gun for the overall package and doesn't really get replaced till you can get the rainbkw mk7 or lion gun

Even on JB who needs a quad for her skills, it isnt worth using it over just a outright better gun

[stark quiver]

shell do funny shotgun

[rapid shard]

Doesnt matter how hard it can hit if it cant even hit the target lol

[atomic vortex]

Fair enough

[rapid shard]

Plus a 20sec gun like mk6 syncs perfectly with Helenas debuff starting out

[heavy crag]

just because you can, does exchanging aigr bp unlock her fate sim

[rapid shard]

She doesnt have a fate sim yet

[heavy crag]

then... uh why does the exchanging option exist even

it looks just confusing

[viscid swift]

because there's a non zero chance she gets a fate sim in the future

[stark quiver]

devs said so

[atomic vortex]

Outside of research projects how can I get BPs for these

[sweet delta]

no worthy methods

[stray crane]

war archive

[viscid swift]

half true

[rapid shard]

NJs war archive can drop rudders but not worth it. Drop rate is too shit

[vale hill]

do event shops still sell gear for collab units?

[sweet delta]

what do you mean? See the current event shop for an example

[vale hill]

i remember the gridman collab had main weapon, and auxiliary for the collab characters

[atomic vortex]

War Archive solves Steering Gear but not FCR

[atomic vortex]

Ah

[rapid shard]

There is no guarantee on Blueprint drops. You can do as many runs as you want and possibly get 0.

[whole crypt]

collabs are a case by case, for example atelier made you craft the gear

[rapid shard]

Only guarantee is the SR ship dropping on 60th hard mode clears in WAs

[vale hill]

does the current event have any limited time gear?

[whole crypt]

they all do, it's just a matter of where and how

augments are stage clear/mission, shop has 2 pieces of aux

sometimes they're in minigames or milestones or the like

event tab should have a summary page

[vale hill]

ok

[ivory sigil]

huh why i dont have opsi dailymission

[stark quiver]

Because you have not beaten chapter 4 of story mode

[ivory sigil]

I did reach chap8.
Do you mean Chap4 of opsi storymode?

[viscid swift]

he does

[ivory sigil]

I probably missed something let me reload game realquick

[vale hill]

are these monthly packs or because black friday?

[late flame]

Black friday iirc

[sinful relic]

managed to complete my first daily

[thorny bay]

i haven't updated my mob fleet in a while, any upgrades? (opsiren)
another question is are any of the free tempesta meowfficers good great in opsiren?

[sweet delta]

• dev 20+ gouden or anyone tankier than Unzen for stronghold consistency
• ibuki, atago to replace hinden or harbin for speed

[thorny bay]

what about the cross fleeting?

[hollow gust]

What was Z52 best gun for yuudschi? One of the blues?

[sweet delta]

twin 100 kai

[ivory sigil]

congratz

is this upgrade or downgrade?

[ivory pawn]

Downgrade.

[hollow gust]

Huh so against light the DD gun does enough damage that it’s more important the spamming?

[rapid shard]

Only real upgrade for your DB slot is the Tenrai. Helldivers will be used for a very long time

[hollow gust]

Hmm it's not much of a improvement

Oh well

Spaghetti code is real

Are they finally calcing Rdps

[reef bane]

how do i increase my ships morale?

[sweet delta]

basically just use the singles for better tanking

Z52 DMG: 102174/86764/92047 DPS: 1277/1084/1150 for 80.0s
Twin 100 Kai, Imp. Quad Mag, Twin 134mm, , , Dual Swords

Z52 DMG: 100556/98481/100862 DPS: 1251/1225/1255 for 80.4s
Single 113, Imp. Quad Mag, Twin 134mm, , , Dual Swords

[rapid shard]

Stick them in your dorm

[spice phoenix]

are all of the date a lane event characters collection?

[hollow gust]

I didn't fuck up eh?

[sweet delta]

in fact with the 291+ RLD, single 113 beats twin 100 kai on all armors

you fucked up

3 million exp and not love

[hollow gust]

I made her mad yesterday , I was one battle short and they were all mad

So might as well just clear the boss fight

[rapid shard]

Vanguards are fairly good mainfleets are nothing crazy

[hollow gust]

I’m gonna do a couple more 15-4s and they should be back to 100

291+ should be doable with goldburn max tech and oath eh?

[sinful relic]

wait do i need two fleets for chapter 5 hard mode?

[ivory sigil]

no

[sinful relic]

?

[ivory sigil]

but you need a sidefleet that reach the requirement

[sinful relic]

damn i cant do stage 5 yet...

[hollow gust]

Just fill fleet 2 with 2 ships that fulfil requirement

[ivory sigil]

what stat ur team missing? @sinful relic

only need fulfill the one below it

[thorny bay]

im assuming replace agir with napoli unless the slow / armour break is worth something?
replace laffey2 with z52
break one of the wolf pack subs with i404
replace one of the mains for musashi? (in fleet4)
not sure which rainbow is best for cross fleeting atm

[summer prism]

is there a +13 priority for w15 or theres no need to?

[hollow gust]

[hollow gust]

Wait teach is as good perfect purple? More fucking lied to me

[thorny bay]

copying homework

[hollow gust]

CV fleet for cleanup, BB super strong rn

[viscid swift]

I'll be honest, so long as they clear it doesn't matter

[late flame]

-# have not tweaked opsi fleets much tbh

[viscid swift]

the power level of new ships has far surpassed what is at this pojnt 4 year old content

[hollow gust]

I butcher up my fleets to buff my mob

[viscid swift]

I abuse OpSi for XP these days myself

[thorny bay]

yeah, mine clears for the most part, just that i value clear speeds atm for mob fleet for the most part

[ivory sigil]

how to begin without screw up? i did rmb someone said i need to go to other port asap

[hollow gust]

You are new asf , and you won’t clear far. It literally won’t matter what you do. Just paint the map as blue as you can

[ivory sigil]

go where
left right left right ab ab

[ocean terrace]

follow the story missions for now

[hollow gust]

It doesn’t matter, follow story, paint thr map blue. You eventually have to clear everything

[atomic vortex]

Cosmic Kicks on Sheffy or nah?

[hollow gust]

Its more useful in your heavy cruisers, also why you using Sheffield

[atomic vortex]

Cuz Sheffy is my wife and I love her

She's hard carried since I started

[hollow gust]

[stark quiver]

grey would relate

[atomic vortex]

She's wife and the GOAT

[hollow gust]

[stark quiver]

she can be better

[atomic vortex]

Richelieu second after her

[atomic vortex]

Yeah ik I'm working on it, just don't have a lot of good gear

[hollow gust]

Huh

[atomic vortex]

And ive prioritised other ships

If she was my main fleet instead of mob she'd have Helena's build

[hollow gust]

[trail dagger]

am i doing something wrong with monarch? this is abyssal opsi DD boss fight XD

same gear with warpsite

[viscid swift]

she's off flag for one when she's dependent on it her barrage

[hollow gust]

That sandy build is special

Also +10 bow is just a debuff against DDs

[viscid swift]

though frankly with those number disparities I'd rather suspect Warspite's barrage at 20 seconds is just killing the boss before Vanguard and Monarch can shoot

why do people run CL guns a CLs that can run DD guns sigh

[fluid karma]

How to deal with siren research facilities killing my autosearch in opsi?

[viscid swift]

tell strategic search to ignore them

[trail dagger]

Ah Okay i'll try putting her in flag

[trail dagger]

Sandy gun?

[hollow gust]

Sandy wants DD guns

And those AA radars are shit

Especially on sandy of everyone

[fluid karma]

Not seeing the option to ignore them

[trail dagger]

Can change to french gun?

i only have this option for sandy

[hollow gust]

That gun is fine, not optimal but still better then CL

[viscid swift]

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

[atomic vortex]

I love how you have that link on a hot key

[viscid swift]

I just have it bookmarked

[atomic vortex]

Someone drops a gear question? Eat this fucking link

Quick draw on the guide is wild but understandable

[sinful relic]

got the first one finally

[viscid swift]

huh

when you get ask the same questions repeatedly it's helpful to have an FAQ

[hollow gust]

Hull implement does basically nothing

[trail dagger]

alright, i will try that, thanks

[atomic vortex]

Fair enough

[hollow gust]

I'm so broke on coin

[rain bobcat]

[ocean terrace]

I don't think my coins have gone over 10k in the last 5 days

[rapid shard]

You wont start having stacks for a long time lol between coining PR/DRs, awakening past 100, gear upgrades, etc. Ill get up to 80-100k then a hour later back to 5k lol

[ocean terrace]

but the UR event requires... 300k coins? to pull 400 cubes

[rain bobcat]

im sitting at 400k after pulling DAL

[rain bobcat]

yes

though 14 days is a LOT of time

[ocean terrace]

as much as I'd love to stack some up for the event, everything needs coins to do

[rain bobcat]

I could probably farm 600k within 14 days with just daily oil

[ocean terrace]

especially since I put together my 2nd fleet, I needed limit breaking, retrofitting etc and I still haven't completed that cos of coin deficiency

[rain bobcat]

oh monthly reset tom, finally I can get more guns

[ocean terrace]

on the bright side I'm getting close to 400 cubes

[ocean terrace]

is that in 24 hours? or 48

[rain bobcat]

23hrs 58 mins from now

[ocean terrace]

is there a way of getting Sandy's retro item other than the current protoshop?

[rain bobcat]

no

[ocean terrace]

so if it monthly resets, how would I get it

[ripe bluff]

Will the collab ever rerun

And how good is tohka anyways am I gonna be missing out

[viscid swift]

the retrofit items don't rotate out

[ocean terrace]

beautiful thanks, thought I'd be missing out if I don't get it now

[viscid swift]

nothing in the prototype shop does for that matter

[viscid swift]

maybe but assume no until proven otherwise

[viscid swift]

about as good as FS5 Bayard

[rain bobcat]

I would give it a pretty low chance

[ripe bluff]

Fucking 300 cubes and still didnt get 3/3 2%s

[rain bobcat]

[fiery swan]

How good are the collab girls

[sinful relic]

tohka is finally maxed for enhancing

[viscid swift]

Ok

[viscid swift]

[ivory sigil]

idk 7 origami in a row sound like a bug to me, better head to techsupport or trophyroom

[stark quiver]

i have 75 dw

[true lichen]

If i replaced lvl 123 ryu lion with lvl 94 unzen, would that be too bad?

[wind hazel]

yes

[true lichen]

Back to the grinder then

[onyx flame]

Is the unzen mlb

[next escarp]

Should I grind EXP on highest available campaign map, or is there a map (methods) with greater EXP?

[wind hazel]

what's your highest available campaign map?

[next escarp]

10-1 but when boss battle starts, vanguard can't take suicidal boats

I use portland, Cleveland and javelin as of now.

[wind hazel]

grind 9-4 then, start working on 2nd fleet

[past bear]

U. Should atleast lv max ryu before benching her imo

[next escarp]

Should I use BBs for main instead of CVs?

[wind hazel]

... are you not using BB?

[hollow gust]

[next escarp]

I use 2 BBs and 1 CV

[wind hazel]

then why the question

[next escarp]

Secondary gun can't handle suicidal boats

[wind hazel]

CV will do even worse

what bb are you using and what are their aux gun?

10-1 shouldn't be that bad

[true lichen]

Yeah you are probably right 😁

[wind hazel]

you dont use unicorn?

and i would rather you put the 155 on owari

[next escarp]

I use her for mob fleet, also. My vanguard consists of 1 CA and 2 DDs. Might be the problem

[wind hazel]

so this is the boss mainfleet? then that's fine

just need some better gearing

[next escarp]

Then why they always die, do I suck as commander

[wind hazel]

gear and maybe level issue

if you can't handle 10-1 yet just grind 9-4, more coin anyway

[next escarp]

This are my best ships for boss fleet as of now. Should I update their gears, I'm trying my best to get better gears on tech box but my luck is the worst.

[wind hazel]

yes their gear kinda suck

and +10 your toolkits, have eva gear on portland

this is also part of the reason why they are dying

[clear harbor]

Oh huh. So in theory 11-4 is more coin efficent than 12-1?

[wind hazel]

more coin, but also significantly harder

pretty much no reason to pick 11-4 than 12-1

harder, doesn't drop cog chips, coin difference isn't really that much

[clear harbor]

Poor choice of stages. Generally speaking, n-4 is more coin/fuel efficient than n-1 and (n+1)-1?

Oh, I fogot about cog chips.

So I guess when it would be more relevant to compared 12-4 to 13-1 (assuming I can farm 13-1 reliably, which I don't think I can)

[wind hazel]

not really the case, 13-1 for example has more coin/oil than 11-4

it's only the case for the next chapter

like 11-4 more than 12-1, 12-4 more than 13-1, so on

[clear harbor]

Got it. Thanks.

So I shouldn't be stressing out about not being able to farm 13-1 if I'm worried about coin. I can just farm 12-4 for now.

[wind hazel]

not many reason to move away from 12-1 or 12-4

only time you wanna go farm somewhere else is for more cog chips or more gold cause you're desperate

[atomic vortex]

If I redeem this and scrap the ship would that give me the last 300 I need for this

Or will it not count

[wind hazel]

it will count

dont do taht unless you maxed out shinano or nj though

[atomic vortex]

I've had both max LB for yonks

[stray crane]

now i m broke

[hollow gust]

Run eva gear

[stray crane]

sg radar ?

[atomic vortex]

I hit 5k where my bullin

[ocean terrace]

protocore shop

[hollow gust]

Click exchange

[hollow gust]

Naval camo is fine, there are also the blue gem from event

[atomic vortex]

Ain't enough cores

[true lichen]

I made a mistake by prioritizung series 5 blueprint mission. Now the final mission is to actually build one of them and im nowhere close to even having the ability to dwvelop one 🥲

[ocean terrace]

ooo new suchi vid dropped

[hollow gust]

Buy more from medal shop

[wind hazel]

[atomic vortex]

I thought hitting the 5k would give me one

TS don't make sense to me

[wind hazel]

5k is your monthly cap

[ivory sigil]

bruh kurumi immortal

[hollow gust]

Its 5k monthly cap, bruh

[wind hazel]

you can only obtain as many as 5000 from grinding

or retiring the UR ship like what you did

[ivory sigil]

@ocean terrace i literally facing a kurumi immortal this morning ^

[atomic vortex]

Didn't realise it was the monthly cap

[hollow gust]

That’s a skill issue

[atomic vortex]

Thought it was a free bullin goal

[ocean terrace]

if I'm out of depot space, how do I know which blue gear I should disassemble? Do I need to manually look at gear lab to see which ones aren't in good paths?

[ivory sigil]

oh sorry my Opsi did not reach chap4,

but the reset of month is getting close, should i speedrun to open this month? or let it go for next month then start opsi ??????

[ivory sigil]

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

[wind hazel]

speed run it

old opsi shop format suck ballz, complete ch4 asap

[main latch]

perseus is good ?

[wind hazel]

worse than unicorn

[main latch]

for a second fleet at least ?

[wind hazel]

you dont need healer for 2nd fleet

[main latch]

heh okay

[wind hazel]

raise perseus when you've run out of ships to raise and wanna raise tech

[main latch]

Should i work towards Admiral Nakhimov ? or grind for PR8 ships ?

[rain bobcat]

8 unless you have soyuz+fritz

eitherway even if u do that more or less evens it out and I would still pick pr8

[silk sphinx]

idk, is nakhimov not worth finishing pr7 for?

[rain bobcat]

you need 2 to 4 la9's without or with fritz

and eitherway meck already curbstomps nakhi's damage in med and heavy

so unless you cant do 3 UR BB meck just wins

[silk sphinx]

is this about bb superiority in current meta? there's only two UR stoppers right now, and nakh is one of them

[rain bobcat]

I still stand by the fact that it's also because I would use gouden over napoli any day of the week

[rain bobcat]

ig it would also matter if you have zwei or not yeah

[silk sphinx]

meckle is good sure but as someone who has everyone, there's so many UR BBs that one meckle, competing against soyuz, bis, lion, alsace

I haven't even figure out where to slot meckle yet in my opsi fleets - mostly out of laziness, granted tho

[rain bobcat]

but it is with little doubt that lion meck zwei is the best comp for all armours

[ocean terrace]

I had this convo with some people here before and ended up agreeing it's pretty much the same

[silk sphinx]

as for golden Leeuw, same thing, I have way too many URs and no idea which to pick and choose. I'll prob swap in leeuw in a bit, but it's not someone I value all that much either

[ocean terrace]

nakhimov needing Soyuz to rerun though

[rain bobcat]

pros and cons
pr8 has "better" 2nd rainbow
3 BB route needs less plates
meck outdoes nakhimov if she has zwei

cons nakhi might be better if no zwei but idk

[silk sphinx]

not all armous, i thought it was just heavy iirc, maybe + med

and for one of them other comps were also quite close

[rain bobcat]

ok its like

[silk sphinx]

whereas for nakh dependent comps, having her vs not is a world of difference

[rain bobcat]

top 2 light and med, top 1 heavy but the thing is the nakhi comp is below all those places

top 1 light is allegedly lion als zwei
top 1 medium is lion soy fritz

it could easily change with META fight gimmicks though

if u trust the chinese

[silk sphinx]

yeah taht's a pic i saw before, though i think someone else on this server did another sheet

[wind hazel]

it basically boil down to whether you have soyuz and la9 or not

[ocean terrace]

I was recommended to go for PR8 because Nakhimov needs Soyuz + the 2nd DR is better in PR8

despite me preferring Nakhimov's design a lot more than the PR8 ships

and PR7 catchup is in 2 months

[summer prism]

what does the words at the top say?

[wind hazel]

light medium heavy

[silk sphinx]

is that really chinese? not japanese?

[stark quiver]

Close enough

[rain bobcat]

now that I think about it

I am fluent in jp but I just expected it was chinese because they usually do the hard optimisations

[wind hazel]

the dude is from hong kong

[rain bobcat]

期待値 is def japanese yeah

[ocean terrace]

it's Japanese

[rain bobcat]

but it's basically the same character in chinese I think

[silk sphinx]

similar but different

at least, based on my shitty 2nd gen chinese skills

[silk sphinx]

me angy

[sweet delta]

Is that the japanese ratto

[slow fox]

Why does this information not contain #samples

[wind hazel]

the what

[silk sphinx]

it does say expected value, not calculated or average

so idk, did they just chuck a spreadsheet calc at it or what

he uses japanese in his bio and profile and sometimes images but types in chinese for posts

Maybe you can contact him on discord for questions

[quiet jackal]

hi is the azur lane community tier list (slaimuda github io) no longer being worked on?

[forest palm]

It's more upto date on their personal discord iirc

But for the most part what is there is still useful

[hollow gust]

Tf yamai is the third highest dps Cl?

[forest palm]

that's not a high bar though...

like it certainly isn't a low bar either, but it isn't some out of reach high bar either

[quiet jackal]

the following URs are the ones i havent invested yet:

Guam, Trafalgar, Sovestsky Soyuz, Lion, Vanguard, Z52, Mogador, Shimakaze, Alsace, Fritz Rumey, Yorktown II and Kronshtadt.

which one should i go for first? and in order?

[sweet delta]

How many UR bulins can you have now and what are the limit break statuses of all of the URs. better show a picture of all your rainbows, including the maxed ones

Without context the answer is just Lion above all

[quiet jackal]

i have like 24k specialized core

ive been playing on and off, mainly just to get ships but havent been able to sit down and invest each of them

[sweet delta]

With 10 bulins, you can max lion and Trafalgar then save two. Just as importantly, level the good ones to 125, that includes Bisz lion Trafalgar and I guess Aegir unzen and temporarily Vanguard

transitionally, not temporarily

[pine whale]

Which do I MLB first once hit 70? Don't mind the Xs: the "event' comes from a coalition battle I can't make, that I have to remove, yet.

Got about 4-5 Purple Bulins, I think (obviously, Kurumi is off limits because of the event and the Gold requirement. She only has one Gold in)

[rain bobcat]

347215 6 is basically free

[hollow gust]

Backline > Frontline Dps>Support ; although they are basically free ; there is no reason you can't do all

Kurumi is honestly the easiest considering you get 4 copies of her

[pine whale]

Full notes, correct? For max copies of Kurumi beyond Gold, I mean

[forest palm]

Penny + Unicorn + Portland are the most important there for Purple Bulins

[rain bobcat]

oh portland is there

[pine whale]

Number 7, yes

[paper nebula]

is it possible to full auto Worlds 13 14 and 15? and also what do you guys in End Game use oil for cause ive been lazy on farming Operation Siren and trying to accomplish after World 12.Is there like a node to farm or something

[forest palm]

I wouldn't bother investing in Long Island than what is needed

[pine whale]

Would Taz and Grey agree with this?

[forest palm]

You can Full Auto 13, 14, and 15 if you have the right ships and gear, sure, though you won't necessarily be using the same fleet for all 3. I mostly just farm 12-4 to level ships for my End Game, otherwise it's Ops Grind, Meta Fights, and so on

[rain bobcat]

hopefully you can farm event, because kurumi is basically only 1 bulin away if you fully farm her

[paper nebula]

i see .. is there a guide or spreadsheet somewhere of the ships needed to Auto 13 14 15? i cant seem to find it

[forest palm]

I don't see a reason to invest into Long Island, Laffey is debatable, and Helena is a lesser priority

[rain bobcat]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief, all guides are assumed to be auto btw, no one gives a damn about manual outside of EX

[pine whale]

Near next copy. I will farm

if someone is doing a manual guide then they've lost the plot

[blissful spade]

hello, can any experienced player tell me when the next UR event is gonna be? if there's any reason to save cubes after the current collab? just a projection is good enough, thanks!

[forest palm]

the guide by Suchi is what you're looking for @paper nebula

[fair lance]

Going by past years it should be near the end of December.

[forest palm]

roughly 18 days, but that's speculative, could be sooner

or later

[paper nebula]

oh i see i didnt know.. cause i tried before and i was worse than the Auto 😅 .. Thanks a lot guys ill probably try and finish 13 14 15 now hahaha

[blissful spade]

ah so pretty soon

pity is 400 cubes?

[forest palm]

alwys is

[quiet jackal]

what faction will it be? pls be dragon empery

[fair lance]

We don't know until live stream

[forest palm]

we don't know

[blissful spade]

also, any news from dev regarding pc client as of now?

[quiet jackal]

i dont mind another iron blood UR but other factions needs more love 😭

oh i just realized sakura empire had more UR ships but no yamato yet

[paper nebula]

oh btw how can you farm a lot of these things...i think i mdoing somethign wrong

[forest palm]

that's the thing you don't, there is no dedicated farming in Ops

[rapid shard]

Rng from cat node farming C3/C5 zon es

[forest palm]

you'll have a better chance from doing Abyss, and Strongholds due to high loot density

[rapid shard]

Only 100% way to get more is the couple you can buy in the port shops

[paper nebula]

i see thats explains a lot... well i guess its better to spam OpS cause i have shit equips... thanks

[hollow gust]

Most stable source is buying from shop every month

[rapid shard]

Like Taz said tho you've got a higher chance from strongholds and abyss zones. I just finished burning 2k AP in C3 zones and got a total of 11 of them specifically

[paper nebula]

well damn...i guess is tart farming now

[rapid shard]

Opsi resets tomorrow FYI

[forest palm]

AL rewards repetition

[quiet jackal]

im also missing alot of good gears especially UR ones

i hope i can catch up

[whole lichen]

Are AR ships any good

[rain bobcat]

no

[rapid shard]

No

[obsidian aurora]

augment conversion stones t1 & t2 are they good to buy from the event shop?

[analog tendon]

i read somewhere that on the last day of OPSI i should let the Strategic Search mode burn through all my remaining AP.
Is there a guide on how to set it up? Never used it before

[rapid shard]

I personally just set it to repeat zone, stop for merchant, and ignore siren constructs

Not best way to show but basically go to a zone you wanna spam. Ideally C3 or C5 if you dont have a ton of time and do the first clear then click strategic search and let it run

You have to secure zone (destroy everything) before you can start strategic search mode

[atomic vortex]

What does Eldridge at full retrofit do?

[analog tendon]

Guess i should choose a zone with long achievs like "defeat 180 enemies", right?

[rapid shard]

Turns her into one of the best tanks in game. 10s invul that procs a ton

[rapid shard]

If you want. Youll naturally get all the stars for each zone over time

[quiet jackal]

right, where can i get her retrofit item?

[rapid shard]

You cant currently. Have to wait for rerun again or for it to be added to the shop like the other items

[wind hazel]

it will be added to shop by next year

essegs turn to rerun

[forest palm]

still a lot of time till then

[rapid shard]

I just feel like if I say it will go shop, they will do a full event rerun just out of spite

[analog tendon]

Can i go back to the game main hub and do something else while Strategic Search is going, or would it stop working?

[rapid shard]

No. If you click anything it stops the search

[analog tendon]

Thanks for the info. Time to mute AL and do something else in another tab then :V

[rapid shard]

Just keep a eye on it incase scamcat pops up for hopefully more AP boxes. Shes the "mysterious merchant"

[violet grail]

To add to what ninja said also in case you havent done it yet, reduce TB guidance in settings so it doesnt stop all the time during strategic search.

[valid forge]

how does the oil cap works
it is mentioned in newbie guide

[west steeple]

Is there an operation siren guide?

[rapid shard]

Sets a maximum cost for your fleet no matter what your running on maps that have it. For example 12-4 is 951 oil for x3 sortie

[violet grail]

Oil used per fight cant go above the stated value no matter how high the oil cost of ships you use.

[valid forge]

cool

[near cargo]

How to use Raffaello? I mean what did she do in the fleet?

[solid forge]

guys, a question about the double rewards things
does it also doubles the aquired affection for the deployed ships?

[fair lance]

You mean morale cost? Yes

[near cargo]

Yes, but it also double reduced the mood

[tulip tinsel]

if you mean double oil thingy yes

[solid forge]

ah okay

thanks for the info mate

[tulip tinsel]

2x everything

[near cargo]

It's essentially just make a 2 run into one, with no reduced cost

Only saved time

[fair lance]

except war archive clears for the ship or equipment.

[solid forge]

yeah that's what I need

[drowsy quest]

How can i find the right augment for each ship? Is there any list?

[wind hazel]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules

[violet grail]

Prioritize the good unique augments dont just try to slap an augment on every ship. Its fine to save your materials for now depending on where you are at.

[drowsy quest]

Yeah i just realized i made one or two then i saw there is unique augments for each ship ill save my materials

[violet grail]

Also only craft an augment if you can +10 it since thats the point when they get most of their power.

[forest palm]

generic augments aren't even necessary for most all content, they just give a small boost in most cases

[violet grail]

I guess right now the order for newer players would be tohka and kurumi's augments, then save for when you get to chapter 12 and go for san diego and independence typically? Oh and Alabama

[wind hazel]

it depends on what they have

[forest palm]

something about using Tech-Less ships that bugs me

[wind hazel]

if they are really good and help with campaign then it's fine

[forest palm]

for sure, and the tech issue can be corrected as the player goes on

[sinful relic]

whats the earliest level for coin grinding?

[forest palm]

9-4 I suppose War Archives could count

[lucid orchid]

Alr have 1 heavy and 1 ap shell, what to exchange nexy

[wind hazel]

breguet or independence

then get another white tomorrow

[forest palm]

they could get another White now if that screen is concurrent

[sinful relic]

im at 6-2. the grind continues

[forest palm]

normal events, specifically D-3 are a good coin grind to orbit around, the current event isn't good for that though

well good coin grinds if you lack access to world 12

[sinful relic]

im trying to get to 9 but like uh its taking ages to clear levels XD (im ships are leveled and stuf)

almost at 7

i just realised laffey is taking so much damage compared to my other ships

[quiet jackal]

do the twins even drop from the last event stage?

i have been farming for a week straight and havent gotten her yet

[fair lance]

Yes, I've gotten 2 from map drops but it's on stage 6

[quiet jackal]

yeah i farm stage 6 too, coalition

guess im just unlucky

[tulip tinsel]

it entirely depends on rng, i had like 3 events with no gold ships from map in a row

[quiet jackal]

what is the % like? 1,5%?

[sinful relic]

okay i might honestly need to stop here, kurumi taking WAYYY too much damage at 6-4

[fair lance]

We don't know it isn't revealed the % chance we only know akagi and kaga's drop rate but if it's the same they are at 0.75% chance.

[tulip tinsel]

we don't know

[tulip tinsel]

give her better gear/level/mlb

[sinful relic]

ive been trying to get kurumi, using the NPC. ssince she cant go above level 70 i need to get her. i think ill grind the event now.

[proper violet]

Is this good? Just got it as a drop from a chest

[wind hazel]

transitional

[proper violet]

I assume good for any BB?

[hot aspen]

New to the game.

Is there a Difference between servers??

If so, then what's there difference???

[proper violet]

The important part is, that I am in little enterprises

[tulip tinsel]

the only thing notable is medal shop hull which resets every month and pvp, otherwise doesn't matter at all

[hot aspen]

So, Which one is a good pick??

[proper violet]

Yeah

Server don't matter, but choose one with ppl you know if you do know ppl who play it I guess

[valid forge]

shoud i start doing war archives?

[tulip tinsel]

if you are endgame sure if new player no

[onyx flame]

Which War Archives should I do?

"I NEED IRONBLOOD TECH!!"
Divergent Chessboards

"I need to get to chapter 9 but I am only lv49 sobz"
Passionate Polaris/Universe in Unison's SP5 for Commander EXP, it is oil capped without fleet requirement

"I missed Eldridge retro item..."
Skybound Oratorio for Jeanne d'Arc

"I like PVP 🤓"
Rondo at Rainbow's End for Seydlitz

"But what about gear?"
Not worth the oil, go spend it at ongoing event or chapter 12.

[analog tendon]

wait, why is Jeanne d'Arc related with Eldridge retrofit item?

[wind hazel]

she was the ship that people use to keep your vanguard alive. eldridge retro made her redundant

so if you dont have eldridge retro, you gotta go back to jda

[ivory sigil]

I was lucky to had DAL event to push me from lv1 to 60 lol it probably the best capped oil i ever drank

Damn the siren is yeeting my DAL fleet like puppies, do i need to get some %buff in surrounding area?

Hello! is there an upcomign retrofit or something for this year or before year ends that I might have missed notice on? 😮 Thank you!

[fluid merlin]

what is the special general blueprint meant to do

[fluid merlin]

so who is good

[ivory sigil]

i had never seen a newplayer with gouden leeuw before... unless swipe

[rapid shard]

You literally cant swipe for PR8s and that new player part of his name is just a meme

[hollow gust]

You should do Pr8 focus and work on both

Mecky and Gouden are prob the strongest DR duo rn not to mention the gear

[kind slate]

Is Laffey 2 a better aa option than z52? For w15

[hollow plank]

I am 932/950 ironblood. any suggestions on how to get more points so i can do pr8? 😮

[wind hazel]

mlb some elite

[hollow gust]

Just use both

[pine whale]

Can I do Event Section 2 now? I'm not going fast enough Unicorn being Unicorn with her slow XP growth

[fluid merlin]

so which one from UR exhcange is a front liner cause my front liners are cooked

[wind hazel]

none of the UR vanguard from exchange are good

[kind slate]

Would I replace shimanto

[fluid merlin]

well well which one is the best to pick cuaee all of mine are cooked

[hollow gust]

Replace that shitty agir

[kind slate]

no tank? okk

[wind hazel]

musashi>shinano/vanguard>nj/uvh>kron>shimakaze

go from left to right, mlb one by one

[hollow gust]

Z52 and Laffey2 are the premiere tanks in the game....

[kind slate]

hmm I see thnx

[hollow gust]

Just keep the one holding the asw launcher as off tank

[fluid merlin]

also what is pr8 my friend is dumb bro played so long he cant my damned questions

[wind hazel]

PR8

[hollow gust]

Dev26

[fluid merlin]

so what does the research academy do

[wind hazel]

getting their blueprints and gear

[fluid merlin]

i dont suppose the dal characters are mid

[wind hazel]

they are great

[olive urchin]

Is there any use for the Shinano/New Jersey selector item if you already have both? Like is there any use for having a duplicate of those ships?

[wind hazel]

if both already max limit break then no other gameplay use

[fluid merlin]

so far my main team is shinano kurumi tohka origami yamais musashi is it fine?

[wind hazel]

are they mlb?

[fluid merlin]

all dal but yoshino and kotori maxxed i returned just for the collab

[wind hazel]

it's fine then

[pine whale]

Anyone?

[hollow gust]

Keep grinding 1

[pine whale]

Sigh. Until what

[hollow gust]

If 2 works the grind 2

[pine whale]

Yes but how do i know if it works. I just wing it? But yes, got it

[sinful relic]

wew good news, i can do sector 6 now, soon as i got kurumi i could 1 star her up and now i can do it. its basically grinding time till i get the twins, and then ill be gacha for the last two girls im missing.

8k more medals and ill have all the achievements for the event

btw is the BP worth buying? im only 43 levels in, unless i should wait and get the next one?

[hollow gust]

Battle pass worth it if you like the skin

[sinful relic]

ooh i kinda want it, also i managed to unlock saint louis for PR1, should i work on her?

also i ran out of oil...

[crystal flume]

uh how do i deal with this bs boss

[sinful relic]

uh is oil just a waiting game on how long till i get it back?

[fair lance]

pretty much you can consider it stamina and you only really get it from canteen and commissions

[peak fable]

you can increase oil income by sending out commissions as frequently as you can and also buy it off events, which give you more oil back for event currency than you have to pay

[kind slate]

try doing opsi whilst waiting. no oil needed 👍

[sinful relic]

OHH

opsi? whats that?

[tulip tinsel]

commander lvl 60 req

[peak fable]

operation siren, unlocked at lvl 60, it's kinda like a mini roguelike mode... I guess

[sinful relic]

ohh im level 71, i bought the uhh level up back, however im doing quite well tbf.

i ran out of oil cuz i was spamming normal sector 6 cuz im trying to get more kurumi and the twins

since i need all 3 kurumi for MLB and then i can continue with main story.

buy this? i have 10k i don thave twins jsut yet as im waiting.

[peak fable]

I mean... if you are gonna spend the oil... it kinda doesn't stop you from getting the twins, in fact it makes it more likely without missing out on other stuff.

[sinful relic]

true, im mainly grinding event as theres bunch of goodies and i have 3 girls left to yoink (twins and the two in gacha)

[fair lance]

You get more points than you spend for the oil so I think it's worth it.

[sinful relic]

even for normal sect 6?

i cant quite do hard for sect 6 just yet

OH i do

i make 100 extra, just calculated.

[fair lance]

Yeah you'll get 1200 points per 1000 oil

That's not counting the coalition battle so more if you do that.

[sinful relic]

alright good to know, thank youu

cant do coalition since i dont have 3 teams

[hidden gazelle]

I have problems with the event augments. It doesnt want to give me the augments while I cleared that sector.

[rain bobcat]

use a better composition/gear

[fair lance]

It's sort of buggy have you tried restarting the game?

[rain bobcat]

there should be 0 chance you lose with lion and proper gear

but if ur kinda new then understandable

[crystal flume]

uh what

[hidden gazelle]

Yeah I did.

[tulip tinsel]

if you didn't get 1 clear before the sector hit 0% you can get the augs in the mission tab

[hidden gazelle]

I only have 2 things left on my missions tab.

Imma prob sending a ticket for this

[tulip tinsel]

or just check mailbox

[worldly cairn]

i am trying to build medium armor fleet, is this main fleet good enough ? if yes what kind of vanguard is suitable for this fleet?

[rain bobcat]

no lion?

also, switch the guns lol that meck is too fast

by the 3rd salvo she's gonna be 2s off sync

[undone plover]

depending how fast the enemy is fritz may need diff gear
or the BB should run double shell
but then u lose the 4th salvo
can u show the sync window for this setup? I want to see how slower fritz is than the BB

[worldly cairn]

I change gun to this

sync window

[undone plover]

for vanguards
In a vacuum and with 0 info about the enemy
Z52 plymouth trafalger is the go to vanguard for BB(ish) fleets
replace 1 with tankier ship (agir/napoli/anchorage....) or eldridge if your vanguard dies before battle is over

[worldly cairn]

the fleet will be use in Ops Siren and Meta

[undone plover]

did u put tech numbers in the calc as well?
fleet tech

[worldly cairn]

fleet tech on

[undone plover]

can you share the link to the calc with this setup
lets see what we can cook for u

[ivory sigil]

wat does middle thing do, i saw them needed as a key to open crate?

[worldly cairn]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/

[rapid grail]

Passable, November Harbiter sucks though. Would prefer faster guns for auto OR manualling it for this month's Harby specifically

[worldly cairn]

meck salvo seem to fast, swap gun with zwei?

[undone plover]

i meant if u could share the link for the setup

[rapid grail]

eh it's okay, especially with z52 skill relying on topside bb shelling/cv airstrike

[onyx flame]

use to power and open some map stuff like these, there some others

[worldly cairn]

(https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/s/MHwzfGppNzszLzEyNS8wLzAvNC8wLDAsMCwwLDEvMC0ydHZ0L2IwNi9nM2QvajUvMFwxMGI5MiwwLzAvMC8wLzNnOVwwLDAvMC8wLzAvMFwwfGloOzMvMTI1LzAvMC80LzAsMCwwLDAsMC8wLTJqYjkvYjA5L2czZC9qNS8zZzlcMTBiOTIsMC8wLzAvMC8wXDAsMC8wLzAvMC8wXDB8a3Q7My8xMjUvMC8wLzQvMCwwLDAsMCwwLzAtMmpqZC8yampkLzE5YzUvMWRkL2xqXDEwbDRtLDAvMC8wLzAvMFwwLDAvMC8wLzAvMFwwfDB8MHwwfDB8MHwwfDB8dW5kZWZpbmVk)

[undone plover]

i think u need to enable this btw to copy fleet tech as well
what is your CV and BB RLD?

[worldly cairn]

BB +10 CV+39

+3 BB reload still leveling

o yeah all 3 ship is oath

[undone plover]

maybe sth like this tbh
sadly the meck gun is faster than raffa gun and meck and zwei have basically identical rld
makes a tight sync impossible

[worldly cairn]

what if i have 2 meck gun? in 2 month xD

[rain bobcat]

... give zwei meck gun

I told u ur meck is too fast

but u still give meck a faster gun

[undone plover]

they are both equally fast unless i am mistaken
no matter who u give the gun one of them will be faster

[viscid swift]

Zwei is like 1 reload point ahead but Meck can store 2 slavos so

[undone plover]

meck vs zwei rld

[viscid swift]

she'll pull ahead from the 2nd salvo

[undone plover]

this fine cheeky?

[rain bobcat]

meck never gets jammed

bis does

[viscid swift]

it is acceptable

[rain bobcat]

ideally you have a 3rd BB fire first to keep meck from pulling ahead

[worldly cairn]

i use alsace lion for light armor fleet

[pine whale]

What are my Comfort Goals for Dorm? What do I need? How to get? Which currency?

[rain bobcat]

are you someone who hates changing gear

[undone plover]

actually should this happen cheeky?
@boreal wagon not sure is this correct? meck is getting jammed here

[rain bobcat]

if you don't mind gear switching, use lion and ditch the whole "this fleet can only fight medium armour or light armour concept"

[worldly cairn]

i change if its META fight not in opsi

[rain bobcat]

that's because of the salvo

[boreal wagon]

why shouldnt she be jammed

[undone plover]

oh god why have i forgotten all this

yeah nvm it is beacause of the salvo jam
how much was the constant BB jam?

[boreal wagon]

17.89-17.08 < 1.25

[undone plover]

sry i doubted u

[rain bobcat]

meck inhrently doesn't get fully jammed because of 2 salvo cap but if someone fires slightly ahead of her consistently then meck can't ever pull ahead unless the difference in rld is massive

[boreal wagon]

(also that link doesnt include their tech just fyi)

[undone plover]

yeah I explained to them and asked about the tech

[cobalt rapids]

meck can pull ahead

[rain bobcat]

the typical jamming of BBs happen when a BB cant fire and so their entire rld cycle gets delayed

[undone plover]

how much is the cutoff for pulling ahead?
like this is never pulling ahead correct?
cuz the gap > constant jam? even accounting for the jam meck is still slower here right?

[boreal wagon]

2 salvo cap BBs have the unique ability to pull ahead much easier than if they were 1 salvo cap

[rain bobcat]

probably safe for atleast 5 salvo

[inland shoal]

There is no specific cutoff cuz of lag

[undone plover]

but like there has to be a cutoff
in theory at least I mean

[cobalt rapids]

jamming of bb happens when a bb shoots her gun
while the bb shoots her gun the button for salvo is "loading" and no other bb or herself can shoot in the meantime
thats the jam
because most bbs only store 1 ammo that also means they also cannot reload in the meantime

[rain bobcat]

that's basically what I said

[boreal wagon]

and because 2 salvo BBs can reload in that time they can pull ahead much easier

[undone plover]

so just to double check for myself
meck is getting jammed here but not pushed correct? her 2nd salvo will still fire in the original time pre first salvo "push" correct?

[viscid swift]

yes

[boreal wagon]

i believe my calc answers this question

(if she were the second number would be orange)

[inland shoal]

Yes, but I've seen it exceeded quite regularly

[undone plover]

but in my example she is slower still since her gun is 19 seconds
vs 18 for zwei?

I just want to know why the gap is getting wider in subsequent salvos

[rain bobcat]

just check the bars instead of time to easily see

[viscid swift]

because Zwei has 2 points higher reload

[rain bobcat]

because u should also slightly jam zwei

[inland shoal]

So that's what her name meant

[rain bobcat]

BB timing in a nutshell mate

in reality you almost always have to have a 3rd BB fire first to jam both of their asses so you get a decent sync for atleast 4 shots

[undone plover]

but shouldnt zwei get the universal jam applied? how much was that?
does meck get to skip that type?

[worldly cairn]

this 1,19 delay

[hot aspen]

This is Temporary, right?

So, I could avoid leveling her up?

[cobalt rapids]

meck salvo is only ever delayed by another bb jamming her on the current salvo

[boreal wagon]

well if you do plan to obtain her using her event then any investments you were to make would transfer to the real unit

[cobalt rapids]

idk what universal jam means

[undone plover]

wont zwei jam herself as well?

[rain bobcat]

again its bc ur jamming zwei first salvo and because meck pulls ahead most of the time, it just gets bigger

[hot aspen]

So, How do I acquire her?

[cobalt rapids]

0.2s

[boreal wagon]

click the purple haired girl event button on the main menu then nighmare rhapsody

it explains pretty much everything u need to know, but tldr: just play the game

[boreal wagon]

-# (which is already included in rlds)

[worldly cairn]

How about this setup?

[cobalt rapids]

indeed

[undone plover]

i am trying to understand the cutoff where i should expect the gap to narrow instead of widening

[boreal wagon]

there isnt a universal one like thorin mentioned

[rain bobcat]

have u not read anything that's being said

[undone plover]

yeah but just having a ball park is good to know
also in theory there is
even if lag is a thing

[rain bobcat]

if you give zwei a slightly slower gun zwei jams and fucks herself over by 1s causing meck to pull away much faster

[rain bobcat]

experiment and cope

this was fine

[boreal wagon]

-# also thanks for reminding me i need to add goudens bullshit to this

[rain bobcat]

also safe with 3 mecky i think

[soft mantle]

I was clearing this stage in auto while i got this,how?

Oh ok i got it,how rare is it?

[hot aspen]

Is it possible to get this within 2 days?!

New account by the way

[boreal wagon]

its possible especially bc kurumi is at 1k and after that is "just" copies (which you probably would want as well though)

does require some active play though

[rain bobcat]

new acc though

[boreal wagon]

(also its 3 days because the 3rd is still a day that counts)

[rain bobcat]

would be very tight

[undone plover]

sry mate I tried to help but confused myself as well
like the others said meck has 2 capacity which the TLDR is she will always pull ahead by a bit
so when she is with zwei who is similar RLD u want meck to have the slower gun

your bigger issue is fritz in the current setup
but I think changing the La9 to bf109 will fix it
if not run 1 La9 and 1 bf109 and see if it works

[rain bobcat]

fritz just doesn't help the situation since she cant jam neither zwei nor meck

[undone plover]

yeah triple BB will be less pain probably

[worldly cairn]

i think i can swap lion>fritz

[rain bobcat]

try running this but replace lions gun with flandre gun if you only have 1 meck gun and increase autoloader level until lion consistently fires first

also this is assuming ur either at all oath or no oath

having uneven oaths makes this a whole of a lot more annoying and you'll have to painfully test many combinations

[undone plover]

neko come I need help
so I am trying diff combinations of guns to see how it works

is it true to say that making BB 3 pull ahead of BB 2 is easier than BB2 ahead of BB1?

like this example
looking at it u would think meck will pull ahead of everyone
she pulls ahead of zwei easily in salvo 2 but then she is stuck behind vanny
why

[worldly cairn]

all oath dont worry

[cobalt rapids]

because vanny is more than 0.3s faster than her

[undone plover]

ok so 0.3 is the magic number

[cobalt rapids]

and no1 is jamming vanny

[rain bobcat]

vanny should stay ahead

[undone plover]

so then it is kind of true correct?
BB1 is hard to jam with an alsus type BB
at least harder than BB2 when alsus is BB3?

[undone plover]

isnt it 0.25s tho

[rain bobcat]

its basically just bc vanny there isn't getting jammed by another BB

so meck is only getting closer by a small amount each time

leading to a safe sync

[undone plover]

yeah but BB1 is almost never jammed by another BB
so in theory at least
if BB2 is 0.2 seconds slower than BB1
BB1 will stay in her spot safely
correct?

[rain bobcat]

probably but you might want to check some CM enemy to see how it fairs for >4 salvo

[undone plover]

[rain bobcat]

not that you really need to check since there's templates for CM already

in this day and age as long as it doesnt break in 4-5 salvo ur fine

[cobalt rapids]

0.2-0.3s idk

[undone plover]

anyway thanks for the help
I feel like I learned sth new here
hopefully i will remember it

[agile patrol]

THIS WORKED
ive been stuck on level 5 skill for so long now
did a few opsi runs. already level 7 😭

ive been playing the game wrong

• What are my Comfort Goals for Dorm?
• What do I need from the related shop?
• How do I get the "Dorm Coins"?
• Which essential stuff requires gems?

[worldly cairn]

testing ark royal meta

[cobalt rapids]

we can conclude ark royal meta is dead

[hollow gust]

It's Ark Royal , you can remove Vanguard and still win

[viscid swift]

not sure what exactly you're trying to prove

I'd frankly be more shocked if you didn't one shot

[worldly cairn]

this month arbiter medium?

[undone plover]

Nov strength is the strongest harbiter iirc

[hollow gust]

This one is pretty shit to test on

[reef flume]

Why isn't Mecklen your flagship?

[fluid merlin]

so how do i retrofit

[hollow gust]

Cause its a wack asf "test"

[pine whale]

• Dock -> Ship -> First Tab from the top
• Several sections are ship-level gated, and require materials from the first levels of the campaign stage
• Only 3 Hard (at all) per day are allowed, and you kinda must
• Currency for each unlock of the "Retrofit tree" is divided by class, and requires special "currency" to unlock fully (you need the whole tree to complete a Retrofit).
• Being the best non-gacha ship for beginners on average, you would want to start with Unicorn, which would be x-4 (AKA 1-4 Hard)
• In order to unlock "x-something", you need to get 3 stars for that stage, not just level, so that means 3 stars for every level of that stage. Also gives 50 (or more, later on) gems for each stage you get 3 stars on (which often requires more than one run, anyway)

[rugged summit]

How do people achieve those crazy damage in meta battles?

[rain bobcat]

1. none get it naturally from buying random sets that increase ur comfort, exp from dorm is not ur main use of dorm
2. random sets u might like or just stuff that increase ur comfort note that you check that in the screen bfr buying where it says if it actually increases it
3. commissions
4. 3rd slot dorm+2nd floor

[pine whale]

How do I get Expansion "thing"?

[rugged summit]

Buy it with gems

[rain bobcat]

copy someone's homework on yt

[pine whale]

Do I need to? I can make a thread later on

[rugged summit]

On the long run u have to

[hollow gust]

[rain bobcat]

an easy way if ur rich is just check jimmy or suchi's runs

[pine whale]

Alright

[cobalt robin]

#trophy-room

[fluid merlin]

i aint see no retrofit button is it level locked?

[pine whale]

Screenshot.

[tulip tinsel]

which ship you want to retrofit??(not every ship has retrofit)

[pine whale]

I always assume Unicorn anyway

[fluid merlin]

i just have to do it 3 times for rookie mission

[hollow gust]

The end battlescreen is bwoken

[rugged summit]

A lot of the gems u get from campaign stages is better spent on maxing out the dorm slots first

[pine whale]

ah.

[rugged summit]

Then from there u can go spend it on either dock, skins, or skill training slots

[pine whale]

...AH.

[tulip tinsel]

shinano doesn't have retrofit she alr UR

[cobalt robin]

a higher rarity than ur would be crazy

[pine whale]

That changes perspective significantly

[fluid merlin]

than who can retrofit

[pine whale]

plebs non UR

[cobalt robin]

characters below ur that have a retrofit

[tulip tinsel]

also no lb shinano useless

[drowsy quest]

Can someone share the link to the augment guide? For the ships thanks

[fluid merlin]

i see that button NO WHERE

[fluid merlin]

i just hit 50 and for ur second question is cause my i have been asking my friend who knows quite literally nothing after playing like 3yrs

[pine whale]

Get Unicorn if you're returning

[cobalt robin]

filter by retrofit available

[pine whale]

Make a thread with Dock screenshot. Probably quicker

[fluid merlin]

found it thx

i think im level cooked tho

[pine whale]

cough

[fluid merlin]

oh im not nvm

its done thx

non mlb shinano useless

any non mlb ship is practically useless

not hard, just takes a while

i got the points while grinding the event tho

[tulip tinsel]

reddit comments are 99% bs

[ocean terrace]

took me like 2/3 days of farming sector 6 but morale issues if you're doing solo battles

just keep Kurumi in the dorm

[tulip tinsel]

you can't put her in dorm if you don't have her

[cobalt robin]

if you can run cucklition with kurumi on the last fleet

[ocean terrace]

oh right once you have her I mean for the other copies

[hot aspen]

Really hope that this 2 night is sufficient to get enough

you can get her in 2 day but that depends on how much youre grinding

[hot aspen]

How many hours in that 2 days tho?

Im like only have 6 hour of gameplay

Hi for some reason when I get a new skin the button doesn’t work to allow me to apply the skin but I can apply it later. Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow that to work? Thank you

[tulip tinsel]

you have the ship?

[gusty badger]

are datealive gear skins limited

what shiuld i do if im missing 2 only

rabbit and black stick

[ocean terrace]

black stick = zafkiel?

[gusty badger]

Idk

[ocean terrace]

or michael

[onyx flame]

buy skin boxes or farm on s6

[tulip tinsel]

the only thing you can really do to farm them is skin box or event stages

[tulip tinsel]

plane and torpedo

How does pearl's tears work with kurumi?

how steam catapult works?

[tulip tinsel]

it just gives high AVI(=more dmg)

[ocean terrace]

is the opsi breakpoint after completing chapter 4 or when you get to chapter 4?

[weary gust]

Completing chapter 4 I believe, but regardless, the game tells you when the monthly resetting unlocks.

[wary saffron]

I got another New Jersey

So I’ll limit break

[ocean terrace]

oh right thanks, I've been pushing through the story from tutorial for the last couple hours and was wondering if I'm there yet

[tulip tinsel]

iirc the last quests are the 3 or 4 c7 zones or something

[ocean terrace]

it's so that the port shops are all put into one shop right? is there anything else to it that changes

[onyx flame]

you get a monthly resetting opsi map + shop

[ocean terrace]

then should I aim to buy as much as I can once I reach it before the reset (in about 13 hours right)

[tulip tinsel]

13h 8min

[ocean terrace]

I see the shop priority for opsi vouchers but not for port items, are there certain recommended items to buy?

or will it all be converted into vouchers anyway

[onyx flame]

port shop doesnt have a prio cause by the end of the month you should be able to clear out the whole shop - Gibraltar/repair/adapts
