[ocean terrace]

what if I've only just unlocked it and can't afford to buy it all, or is that unnecessary minmaxing?

[onyx flame]

i mean if you want to minmax it be like, ap boxes + loggers first then prints and mats

[sweet delta]

I don't think they're doing that with 11 hours left

[onyx flame]

i mean they havent finish chp 4 yet so it doesnt matter

[ocean terrace]

I'm on Ch4 though so I assume I'll unlock it soon

[onyx flame]

i mean as long as you finish chp 4 before monthly reset, when it resets you get the new monthly opsi

[ocean terrace]

what happens if I don't finish before the reset, can't I unlock it afterwards?

[sweet delta]

Then you continue your month for another month

[onyx flame]

you gotta wait for the next reset aka next year

[agile patrol]

oh
so im not bad at the game for needing 4 full exits->reenters to clear normal arbiter

[ocean terrace]

which is bad because I've already cleared some areas right, I'd get more rewards from a fresh map

[onyx flame]

ehh its less that and more your missing out on more mats and stuff since the monthly resettable ones net more stuff

[ocean terrace]

got it ty

[sweet delta]

Hard arbiter is not normal arbiter, November normal arbiter isn't the strongest

[agile patrol]

ohhh.. so i am bad at the game.

[proper violet]

Is there a reason to keep a second helena?

[sweet delta]

EX scoring

[onyx flame]

skin display

[proper violet]

What is ex scoring?

[sweet delta]

Beating event EX stage with a level 1 Helena for higher score on the leaderboard

[proper violet]

Oh lmao

[agile patrol]

which normal arbiter is the hardest??

[sweet delta]

Idek what modifiers the normal arbiters have, I think nobody cares to record them

[proper violet]

Hard arbiter I asume is a max limit broken max lvl type shi?

[atomic abyss]

yess

normal arbiter is the more important one

hard arbiter rewards are paltry by comparison

[solemn marlin]

Can someone remind me step by step how to migrate my account onto a new device? I just got a new tablet and I don't want tk make a mistake by accident.

[small quarry]

Hi everyone, good afternoon or evening.

How do I remove this filter from my screen? I've already looked in the settings and unfortunately couldn't find it... How can I change the background image? I'd like to put Kurumi Tokisaki.

[twilit wren]

What are the best fleets that I can build with the ships that i currently have?
Specifically for arbiter
And for stronghold clearing

[pine whale]

@twilit wren, you might want a thread for that
@small quarry let's cut corners here. Is she NPC

[twilit wren]

Ok cool thx

Fleet building help for stronghold and arbiter

[small quarry]

Okay, so all the collab characters are NPCs and can't be included here? And how do I remove this filter from the on-screen chat conversations?

[pine whale]

No. Only Kurumi. And it relies on the Nightmare Rhapsody screen on the event tab

[small quarry]

Okay, maybe I'll come back a few more times, the game is quite complex, you have to understand everything from the morning lol... I'd like to remove this, it's bothering me sometimes, where can I disable the chat conversations?

[onyx flame]

have you tried restarting the game?

[small quarry]

I'm playing through the PC emulator; I downloaded it this morning and I'm still playing now. 😭

[sweet delta]

I think this is the way

1. On old device in game, make sure Yostar is bound with email
2. Open game on new device
3. Ignore any yellow web pages
4. Press the black Yostar button
5. Ignore any yellow web pages
6. Enter your email and generate a code
7. Ignore any yellow web pages
8. Submit the code
9. Ignore any yellow web pages

[tulip tinsel]

You can't really change the background but set secretaries on the screen

[onyx flame]

thats a visual bug, you have to try either restarting the game or something, thre might have been a fix by someone else but idk

[small quarry]

I'll open and close the game to see if it's changed.

[solemn marlin]

Thanks a lot. I'll give it a try right away.

[spark patio]

i have saved 1800 so far, i did buy 3 white shells, 2 french planes. what should i buy next? rainbow oxy or subs aux?

[fair lance]

Have you bought independence?

[spark patio]

yeah i did too

[fair lance]

Where are you in campaign?

[small quarry]

It worked, thanks for the help. Just one question: collab characters only reach limit break with copies of them, right? The yellow and purple ones don't work.

[fair lance]

They can be limit broken with bulins

[onyx flame]

but ofc use dupes first

[small quarry]

I only made 2 jumps in the event and didn't get anyone SSR, so I'm being a bit cautious.

[knotty jolt]

rainbow torp aux is scam don't buy

[violet grail]

Do hestia/vestal/akashi have their opsi crossfleet skill even at level 1 or do they need to be mlb?

[spark patio]

12-4, i am preparing for W13

[knotty jolt]

more breguts then

[spark patio]

how many bauehehfbdbdbb should i have at once?

[knotty jolt]

atleast 3 for a full carrier fleet

[spark patio]

i dont know how to type thta name

[knotty jolt]

or if you're running a battleship and 2 carriers depending on the carriers

[violet grail]

could also start buying the cv timing auxes maybe? if you think you might look into using them.

[knotty jolt]

they could equip double torpedo bombers so the third bregut would still be useful

[spark patio]

I still have 1000 left, what should i buy next?

Bc i already bought 2

[knotty jolt]

ye the thing that reduces first launch time is useful

[spark patio]

the feather?

[knotty jolt]

in campaign desyncing is good cause having two airstrikes happen at the same time is wasted damage

cause the first likely is gonna wipe the screen anyways

[knotty jolt]

It's the purple Aux

i forget it's name

[onyx flame]

beacon

[knotty jolt]

that

[onyx flame]

you really only need 1 or 2 max

same with the manjuu

[knotty jolt]

it's relatively cheap too at 500

[spark patio]

Manjuu? arent they chickens?

[spark patio]

Ok so i will buy the french plane and 2 beacons?

[violet grail]

1 beacon 1 manjuu

[fair lance]

It has manjuu in the name

[onyx flame]

blackburn if your gonna make a wyvern

[knotty jolt]

honestly what are manjuus

[spark patio]

yeah, i am about to ask the same question

[violet grail]

werent you the one that told me to just farm more opsi rather than buy blackburn back when I asked that

[onyx flame]

not a question for gph thats for sure

[onyx flame]

i dont think i did lmao plus i bought 2 blackburns to craft my 2 wyverns

[tulip tinsel]

chibi chickens

[violet grail]

ah someone else then, i did end up farming mine the hard way haha

[knotty jolt]

anywho with the remaining 500 core data you can start work on sub gear if you so wish

[small quarry]

Aside from Bulin, is there anyone in reserve that I could use better on the team? I don't know their all classes yet, but I definitely need a healer.

[tulip tinsel]

unicorn, in guild shop

[onyx flame]

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

[spark patio]

Other recommendations ?before grinding for the snorkel and the pressure paper?

[knotty jolt]

not that i can think of, others likely would have a better idea but for w13 you already seem pretty set

[onyx flame]

you can tweak the formation according to what you have but unicorn is a must have

[spark patio]

So the best now i save coredata for sub gears?

[knotty jolt]

if you want, they're entirely optional. You can clear 13 without them fairly comfortably

[sweet delta]

You got Drake?

[tulip tinsel]

you could buy 10x100 chips

[onyx flame]

core data prio image isnt updated with drake

[spark patio]

Is that cat good? i dont have it

[knotty jolt]

ez flame buff for +3% damage

[spark patio]

damn, i just realized i bought the french this month, so i will buy Drake and Beacon. thanks guys, see ur next end month when i have a lot of core again

[fair lance]

Plus 49 FP for BBs

[knotty jolt]

they're doing w13 prep, they're gonna need more carriers then bbs

[fair lance]

I know but for future.

[stark quiver]

That’s doesnt matter since they will still use some bbs

[spark patio]

also about w13, i have to use 3 cvs for both mob and boss or just for one of them ?

[spark patio]

how did u know i will bring my Nelson to challenge w13?

[knotty jolt]

for boss maybe for mob no

[stark quiver]

because you need to snipe repair boats in boss somehow

[spark patio]

wha? are they op?

[brave rover]

yo could i have some recommandations for chap 13 ive got 1 fleet that does well and the other insta dies

[spark patio]

So 3 Cvs for boss, 1BB 2CVs for mob will work

[knotty jolt]

it can

[spark patio]

Can Owari nuke W13?

[stark quiver]

no but they are annoying

just use owari in boss fleet and then everything else carriers

[spark patio]

Bosses from 13-1 to 13-4 are just CVs or BBs, aren't they? bc i want to use Hakuhou and Essex for bossing

[ocean terrace]

alright I've finally completed Ch4 of opsi, should I do anything before the reset? or wait till after

[stark quiver]

clear as many zones and nodes as you can

[ocean terrace]

also I assume the Ch4 SP mission isn't necessary

[fair lance]

13-1 is a CA the rest are CVs

[stark quiver]

that sounds good

[brave rover]

aside from sandy what are some other good vanguards for w13?

[stark quiver]

there are a lot
it all depends on what you have

[brave rover]

err i have a thread where i sent pics of my doc

[stark quiver]

where

[brave rover]

idk how to link it its called os help :C

[tulip tinsel]

this? https://discordapp.com/channels/456397991847395339/1442171914100408351

[brave rover]

yeh

i was getting help with os but now im chill on that atm

[ivory pawn]

I would explicitly save that for after reset if possible, to give you the maximum amount of time to successfully complete the loggers.

[ocean terrace]

got it, should I be going from port to port and purchasing what I can with those purple coins

[ivory pawn]

Try to purchase gold plates, gold mat boxes, and any UR material.

[spark patio]

I did auto clear all the hidden and exploreable zones now i cant do it anymore what should i do next? spam secured zones or what?

[ocean terrace]

what are 'ashes ships' that they're referring to

[soft raft]

META ships

[ivory pawn]

If all of your loggers, strongholds, zones, missions, etc are cleared, head over to a c3 or c5 zone, use all your AP boxes, and implement strategic search.

[ocean terrace]

are there ways to predict which ships and ship-classes are released? for example, if there's a trend of them releasing certain ships to finish a battleship class or releasing multiple ships of the same class at once

asking out of pure curiosity

[boreal wagon]

not really

there are some events where we know the faction before hand like lunar new year being naturally chinese

but there isnt really a golden trend or way to predict

[soft raft]

And September being Japanese

[forest palm]

I'm pretty sure we're at a point where AL is releasing paper ships for Germans, so that's a real shot in the dark

[sweet delta]

And October being sailing frigates

[soft raft]

Havent we been at that point for a long while now
And now Japan is running out

[ocean terrace]

I see, I'm looking forward to them finishing the Yamato-class and a lot of other classes too

[forest palm]

Japan has a fair bit left to milk...

anyway, most UR events are accompanied with a live stream, so we tend to know from that

I'm sure there's some crackhead theory one can come up with based on event story

[ocean terrace]

I assume that's an official Azur Lane livestream? in China or something

[tulip tinsel]

UR AR next frfr

[ocean terrace]

you know how Roon's IB vanguard exp collection has 2 separate missions, do they stack once both are unlocked? as in, if I earn 1000 xp, it fills both at the same time

[soft raft]

Nope

[ocean terrace]

that's miserable.

[forest palm]

ya CDC1 has to be done first

[soft raft]

Eh you'll live
It's the easy part belive it or not

[ocean terrace]

well I don't want to use Prinz Eugen or Z23 but I'm forced to

don't even have a decent enough IB ship to use as a 3rd

[forest palm]

just use the K Class

[ocean terrace]

I'm broke enough as it is to nurture another ship

[forest palm]

still Eugen and 23 aren't even that bad

[ocean terrace]

for now yeah, might be some trouble in the higher stages though

[forest palm]

afaik you can use them as far as world 13 before they run out of gas

[ocean terrace]

I'm also just hesitant on mlb'ing Prinz Eugen because she'll never be used again, and I'm broke so

[forest palm]

that's fair Eugen is hardly recommended due to her being costly

[ocean terrace]

I have a lvl 80 mlb Sandy with her augment waiting to be put in the fleet but research priorities

[violet grail]

Is there a way to update my guild support ships while the ironbottom maritime defence battle is still going on or do I have to wait for it to end?

[ivory pawn]

Gotta wait for it to end.

[eternal basalt]

Ashes ships are META ships in other areas than the OPSI dhop, they just NEVER updated the description there

And no, I have no idea either why it has different descriptions in the shop and inventory

[slim hinge]

Where can I acquire gifts to raise affinity?

[soft raft]

Island mode

[slim hinge]

Well fuck. I don't play that mode since my pc and phone can't handle it.

[stark quiver]

you are not missing out on a lot

[sweet delta]

putting the ships in sortie is faster than grinding island to get gifts

[deft kettle]

who do i choose

[sweet delta]

shinano since she's 4 already stars and you have a max hakuhou. Next time post your URs, not your fleets

[stark quiver]

is enforcer harmony hard

[sweet delta]

hard for new players and for alpas

[deft kettle]

Hope this helps

[sweet delta]

it doesn't help, i already looked at your history and answered

[ocean terrace]

Shinano > NJ good yes yes?

[violet grail]

Just keep the voucher in depot dont use it. Just gonna take up a dock slot for a ship you wont max limit break for a very long time if you do use it.

[ocean terrace]

I mean I have 4 UR bullins atm, but I guess I should save them for the UR event and see which one's better to invest in

[fair lance]

Seeing as Shinano and New jersey is in the perma pity I'd suggest you don't spend any bulins on them.

You have at least 3 URs that are up coming that you can spend those bulins on.

[ocean terrace]

yeah makes sense, by the way I should be picking Musashi in the permanent pity right?

[fair lance]

Yeah Musashi is recommended if you have no other URs

[ocean terrace]

I technically have Shinano though

[fair lance]

But if you have a couple of UR BBs that could change.

[ruby sinew]

are ur ships not worth leveling up if they cant be max limit broken?

[fair lance]

Not for newer players no because they are missing too much power.

[ocean terrace]

pretty sure my fleets' biggest weakness atm are the BB for both mob and fleet (Kotori and Maryland respectively)

[soft raft]

She's not in that ticket tho lol

[ocean terrace]

I asked about UR pity after

[fair lance]

He asked about perma pity not the ticket

[soft raft]

oh wait nvm

[ocean terrace]

also 3? isn't it 2 if it's a double UR event?

[ruby sinew]

i see. then i will not level up vanguard :/

[fair lance]

I'm talking about the new UR in december and Guam and Laffey in January.

[ocean terrace]

both Guam and Laffey are higher prio than Shinano?

[fair lance]

Considering you can't get dupes from the perma pity they are usually recommended to use bulins on them first though someone could correct me on that.

[ocean terrace]

wait so if I get Shinano from the handbook reward, can I not get her from pity as a dupe?
or is that not recommended in general

[fair lance]

You could but BBs are way easier to gear than CVs for newer players so if you were gonna spend bulins on a perma UR I'd highly suggest Musashi over Shinano.

You could have enough if we still get a dupe of the shop UR being Laffey.

That's if you're close to pity anyways

[ocean terrace]

what if the december event is a double UR

[fair lance]

exactly, you wouldn't have enough for 5 URs

[ocean terrace]

I get it now thank youuuu

[eternal basalt]

+ a new one in feb, URs are coming!

[stray crane]

i need z52

[eternal basalt]

Need to wait a year then

[stray crane]

how about mogador

[eternal basalt]

June/july 2026

[pine whale]

• I'm at Section 2. After a (I presume lucky) first run, I end on A with Kurumi dying first. I presume it's because she's 44.
• As time is running short, do I level her to 50?
• Or do I just push like crazy on campaign, since I'm on Stage 4?
• Everybody else is 50 to 55 (Laffey being the highest, the other 4 being Penn, Unicorn, Helena, and Long Island)

[stray crane]

u dont have exp data pck ?

[soft raft]

How badly do you want that Kurumi dupe

[pine whale]

Well, I'm pretty low on horsepower, so I kinda need it. And yes, I asked referring to exp books

[eternal basalt]

We have 3 full more days

[pine whale]

So, it's full days, not just "current +1". Well, there is the Morale drop on explosion. That'd be my slowdown

[eternal basalt]

monday, tuesday, wednesday.

[stray crane]

u should have tons of gold bulin too

[pine whale]

Based on which timezone? I'll make a thread then

[kind slate]

What’s different in 15-2 from 1?

[zenith heron]

Boss node can one shot you backline, needs some EVA Gear...

[kind slate]

what… so like rudder on all backline?

[fair lance]

For your boss fleet yeah.

[zenith heron]

Yeah, also scepter on your CVs on boss fleet only

If you plan to manual, time the air strikes when the bosses fires their gun to nullify it

[eternal basalt]

Or just use Musashi, she soaks damage from the flagship

[pine whale]

Section 2 Specific Limbo

[timber crow]

yoo, need help with DDs, which ones are the best

im retrofitting eldrige, and already got Chan chung, read she was good, should i retro yuudachi too?

[cobalt robin]

eldridge retro, laff2, z52

[timber crow]

laff2 is blocked by banner i suppose

[cobalt robin]

do you have eldridge's retrofit item?

[eternal basalt]

Coming soon

[tulip tinsel]

laff2 should rerun soon

[timber crow]

yeah, they did a rerun luckily

[cobalt robin]

jan right?

[cobalt robin]

retrofit her, ignore yuudachi shes pretty mid

[timber crow]

z52 is also a banner type right?

[cobalt robin]

yes

[timber crow]

is a CL, CA, DD build ok? i mainly use Laffey retro + Duca + Helena or london (both retro)

for mob that is

[cobalt robin]

hulltypes dont really matter as long as its the right characters

[eternal basalt]

Also january, but 2027

[forest palm]

Duca and Laffey are fine for mob, Helena kind of isn't, London works though

[cobalt robin]

eldridge retro gonna go huge

[timber crow]

also gos San DIego retrofit, she good?

[cobalt robin]

very good

[timber crow]

excellent, im trying to rework my fleets since i got to W10

[cobalt robin]

is she still no1 aa with her augment?

[pine whale]

I just made the thread, if you can and want to help me

[forest palm]

Sandy's UE more so boosts her damage than her AA

[cobalt robin]

well either way sandy very goated

[timber crow]

thanks guyss

[forest palm]

the highlighted bit is what Sandy's UE does btw

[ocean terrace]

how viable is she pre-retrofit, or how much worse is she

[forest palm]

with her UE she's good, without that and retro she's a glorified AA barge

[fair lance]

You're missing the mod effect which does increase her AA

[cobalt robin]

[chilly gyro]

I have enough bullins to mlb another ur unit, somebody told me to hold them for the next ur ship, do we have info on her so i can make a decision?

[fair lance]

No we don't have any info until the JP livestream.

[chilly gyro]

Okie, when's that?

[fair lance]

Hasn't been announced yet.

[forest palm]

Later in Dec no exact date

[chilly gyro]

Oh, ok, thanks

[small quarry]

Where can I find information about daily and weekly reset times?

[ocean terrace]

daily is at 00:00 GMT-7

[quartz nest]

Why do i get this? I didn't think there was a limit to the specialized cores but exactly 18018 feels weird

[viscid swift]

the limit is how many you can earn per month

which is 5k not including the ones from the medal shop

[quartz nest]

Oh i didn't know that, thanks

[ivory sigil]

anyguide to buy or skip ?

i mean i have like 30k

[fluid brook]

Did you bought the UR Plan and Ord from shop?

[fair lance]

This is the old shop buy everything so it resets nvm it resets tomorrow face palm. buy ap and the tokens

[knotty jolt]

AP and the purple tokens

Each purple token is equal to 100 coins so it's just discounted when converting to tickets during monthly reset

[knotty jolt]

That's just an akashi shop

[fair lance]

Ah yes ofc I thought it was his first monthly shop lol

[ivory sigil]

Where to find monthlyshop? 1st port?

[eternal basalt]

1Sst, 2nd, 3th and 4th

[warm latch]

any blue port

[fluid brook]

any blue port

[drowsy quest]

Which one is shinano best augment?

[ocean terrace]

only if you've finished Ch4 though I think

[rapid shard]

Youll gain access to monthly shop after your first reset when you start opsi

[fair lance]

*after chapter 4 of opsi.

[fluid brook]

Id go with Scepter

[ocean terrace]

yeah the game tells you when you gain access to the reset opsi map, which is after completing Ch4

[ivory sigil]

How to reach ch4

[ocean terrace]

do the missions in information

[ivory sigil]

I cant see any red indicator

[ocean terrace]

it'll tell you what to do, you can press view for it to guide you too

[drowsy quest]

Thabks

[west steeple]

Is there a OpSi guide?

[drowsy quest]

She doesnt hace a unique one?

What about unicorn? Same thing the scepter?

[sweet delta]

If you press the empty augment slot, the game will show you craftable augments too. Since there is no gold one, Shinano has no unique augment

[fair lance]

You could go bow but generally you want to use scepter for harder campaign stages or with fights without planes.

[drowsy quest]

Oh i didnt know that, so if they have a unique one it appears on each character

[sweet delta]

You may also consult https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules for who has unique augment, how good each unique augment is , and what purple to use

[fluid brook]

It will appear with a gold background

[fair lance]

When you go to equip one it will show up on the craftable ones in that menu if that ship has one

[drowsy quest]

Thanks in advance to everyone

[elder grove]

who can replace chikuma? I need the iron blood exp for PR

I just realized I only have one iron blood ship in my two fleets hence why it's going so slow

[sweet delta]

did you just quit for 2 months

[cobalt robin]

Any of the mlb ships will do fine

Ideally you wanna run 3 ib ships tho

[elder grove]

no only play hard mode and weeklies, I had over 200 cubes but I tried for UR on the normal banner and got less that a hundred now

at least I'm closer to 400 pity now lol

I haven't done the events but I'm happy playing like this for now

[sweet delta]

So why is your Lion still 3 star after 2.5 months, you should've gotten enough to max her

[elder grove]

I do have enough to max her, just haven't done it

haven't even awoken her past 110 yet either, the content I'm doing hasn't required her to be stronger

been trying team comps at least with the front lines trying to build other shipgirls

[sweet delta]

You would get more benefit out of leveling your good ships to 120+ right now rather than farm Roon or Aegir, but since chikuma is average anyways you can switch her for Eugen

[elder grove]

but I got fdg to only need exp now, hence why I need exp the for iron blood faction

she is still great too right?

[viscid swift]

let me put i like this, are you in chapter 12 of the main campaign yet

[elder grove]

no

chapter 9 rn

[viscid swift]

push there first then before you even think about dedicating yourself to farming XP for PR ships

it'll be that much quicker, easier, and efficient

[elder grove]

hmm, well I guess I can push story instead of farming only hard mode for the day

[sweet delta]

You should also note that fdg doesn't take vanguard exp...

[elder grove]

wait what, ffs I didn't check that either

[cobalt robin]

Main fleet ships need main fleet exp and vanguards need vanguard exp

[elder grove]

I forgot that is a thing for pr ships

[stray crane]

for what ?

[cobalt robin]

Although agir's cdc1 needs main fleet ib exp for some reason

[cobalt robin]

research ships

[elder grove]

but fdg is still great right?

[stray crane]

research mission ?

[cobalt robin]

combat data collection missions for research ships

[cobalt robin]

good

[fair lance]

All cbs need a mix of xp

[stray crane]

so 12 is to farm exp for that mission

[cobalt robin]

Damn didn't know that

[cobalt robin]

Although she will be unusable for quite a while till she's dev30

[sweet delta]

Not for someone with Lion, Bisz, Warspite, and any other maxed rainbow BBs I didn't see

[elder grove]

isn't warspite trash?

[cobalt robin]

Who said that?

[sweet delta]

Warspite is better than fdg for bossing

[stray crane]

for real ?

[sweet delta]

And for campaign you already have bisz for one fleet and Lion for the other

[weary gust]

Warspite hasn't been trash since her unique augment made her roughly equivalent to NJ (but NJ is the bottom of the bar for UR BBs)

[stray crane]

so i should retrofit her ?

[weary gust]

It depends what you have/how far in you are.

[stray crane]

i finish san diego yesterday

[elder grove]

it was around this time last year

[stray crane]

stage 11-1 rn

[weary gust]

Would need to see the rest of your dock, but if you're using a ship you should generally retrofit it..

[elder grove]

"She has been comically outdated since 2019
Modern day SRs beat her"

this was what was said to me

[cobalt robin]

if you have no other bbs then warspite could be good to retro, although she's expensive af

[wispy cosmos]

lmao

[stray crane]

pretty much done

[weary gust]

That was LAST YEAR. Things change.

[wispy cosmos]

as others have already said prioritise pushing campaign first before worrying about the pr grind

[hollow gust]

And she has gotten a busted augment since

[weary gust]

Don't just take stuff a year old as fact for life.

[stray crane]

idont have the augment yet tho

[cobalt robin]

Plus she needs her augment as well

[elder grove]

how do I get her unique augment? it isn't the sword is it?

[sharp socket]

just use a gold bb like hood or nelson retro until you get to rainbow bbs

[cobalt robin]

Well that's outdated now

[cobalt robin]

Craft

[weary gust]

When you go to equip an augment, there will be an option to make an SR one. That is her unique augment.

[stray crane]

yeah i cant get her augment i ran out of materials

[weary gust]

Yeah unique augments are expensive.
On that note, which is priority for Warspite? Retrofit or UE?

UE is definitely the cheaper option to do first.

[stray crane]

whats UE ?

[cobalt robin]

Unique augment

[stray crane]

oh

[drowsy quest]

How do you guy farm gold (coins) quick?

[weary gust]

Run w12-4.

[cobalt robin]

12-4 ideally, if you can't then run the highest stage you can clear

[drowsy quest]

Thanks

[elder grove]

there will be a day they make a pc client for this game, I don't want to spend half a day to download the island and 3d dorm..can I completely ignore that part of the game without issues?

[stray crane]

i use bluestack

[sweet delta]

Doubt pc client, yes you can ignore it

[weary gust]

You can ignore island and 3d dorm. I wouldn't place money on PC client.

[sweet delta]

Might as well finish it, pretty cheap for a rainbow BB

[ivory sigil]

if my ship reach capped lvl without mlb / chip, does the exp still increase hiddenly?

[elder grove]

the game is damn near 30gb it is past the realm of a regular phone game, it needs pc

[weary gust]

Ships only start storing exp above the current level cap at level 100. Which is only possible for mlb ships, or PR/DR ships not at full dev.

[stray crane]

dude just run it on bluestack

[sweet delta]

i've heard bug things about bluestacks

[weary gust]

Modern phones have like 256gb+ storage at basic options.

[rain bobcat]

URs also don't need mlb

[verbal plinth]

imo mumu is better for AL

[stray crane]

sometime game froze when u in battle

[knotty jolt]

My phone is 512 gigs half it has other big games like punishing grey raven and zenless zone zero

[reef bane]

big gyat game

[knotty jolt]

just get a better phone

[stray crane]

i have to delete wuwa

i m using a samsung s25 ultra

[elder grove]

I'm using a emulator and I freaking hate them with a passion, only have fgo on this game on it

[cobalt robin]

Just use mumu

[ivory sigil]

just use mumu

[weary gust]

I tried an emulator and thought it worse than native phone interface. Which is impressively bad.

[rain bobcat]

no shit lol

[stray crane]

yeah bluestack is the samething

[ivory sigil]

I use a laptop open 24/7 for mumu azurlane and use OSlink to play it remotely

that's how i reach lv60 after 1 week lol

[rain bobcat]

most emu's have old phone UIs from the 2010s

[cobalt robin]

BlueStacks is outdated

[reef bane]

blue stacks might be a crypto miner or smth

[stray crane]

yeah its my first time using an emulator

[rain bobcat]

bluestacks is like literal obvious bait software

[cobalt robin]

I wouldn't be surprised even, just run mumu or ld

[rain bobcat]

ld is chalked lol

[ivory sigil]

nah not ld, i gave up ldplayer to go mumu

[stray crane]

okay I will try mumu

[rain bobcat]

only mumu doesn't have bugs

[cobalt robin]

Is it? Haven't used in a while

[elder grove]

ok I made most of my UR level 100 and I can augment warspite, how do I make my fleets better? I have enough to mlb one of them

[rain bobcat]

ld experiences frequent bugs after big updates

[ivory sigil]

yeah i used it on my 1 2 3rd day of azurlane

on 4th day end up delete and redownload whole game on mumu cuz it buggy crash middle battle

[cobalt robin]

MLB the lioness

[stray crane]

this right ?

[elder grove]

damn, I only have enough gold to mlb lion or augment warspite, I'm guessing mlb takes precedent right?

[ivory sigil]

i think mumu had a remote too, but i already used oslink remote from ld stuff

[weary gust]

Lion is the strongest ship in the game full stop, yes mlb her.

[cobalt robin]

lion is the best bb in the game

[rain bobcat]

warspite is like half of lion's damage

[elder grove]

these UR bullins took so long to get😭

you have to use a dang code to use them now?

[cobalt robin]

Too generous

[weary gust]

Always had to

[elder grove]

not when I mlb bismark? unless I forgot

[cobalt robin]

just shows how limited ur bullins are

[cobalt robin]

You forgor

[weary gust]

Since Shinano, the first UR, any time you retire or use a UR bulin/UR dupe for mlb material it requires a code input.

[elder grove]

wow, I severely underestimated the last star price, I had to double check

I don't have half of the 20k

only a quarter lol, I thought it would cost 10k max

[sweet delta]

20k is half a day of income

[cobalt robin]

Sr costs 10 on the last lb

[elder grove]

I must've spent using my stashed money with bismark

[elder grove]

used most my gold on mlb SR-SSR ships now I'm broke

trying to get faction fleet points

[sharp socket]

in suchi latest vid about kurumi tanking 15-4 lethal solo, i notice the backline eating loads of planes and not dying, is raffy that good at eating planes or is there something im missing

[sweet delta]

are you sure they ate big loads of planes

[sharp socket]

you finished 2 super cv fleets without losing half of your backline hp, that seems pretty darn good

[stray crane]

aye bro i did it

[weary gust]

You did what ... ?

[sweet delta]

im using the best support and independence

[stray crane]

i retrofit her'

[elder grove]

any place I can farm gold other than dailies and commisions? I feel like I'm not going to the right places

[weary gust]

w12-4 or highest oil cap world you can do.

[sharp socket]

does the support fleet carry that much

yeah i also noticed indep and no unicorn, is this applicable in standard full fleets making backline live longer at the cost of vg survivability

[rain bobcat]

no lol

raffaello cannot heal a full vanguard

if its not solo kurumi or laffey you will quickly die

[sharp socket]

that was not my question but ok

[rain bobcat]

?

"at the cost of vg survivability" ur entire vg is gonna die or laffii/kurumi will be the only ones left

[sharp socket]

i was asking if this setup made backline live more at the cost of vg survivability

[rain bobcat]

ur not gonna accomplish anything

[sharp socket]

does it make backline live more

[rain bobcat]

well yes because aquila is there

[sharp socket]

alright thats what i needed to know

[rain bobcat]

raffa target burst heals lowest hp and aquila does the same

indep boosts her own AA and helps clear planes

[elder grove]

oh where can I get builds for the ship girls? I accidentally unequipped gear from lion and idk what the heck I had on her and I don't know how to build shipgirls anyway

[weary gust]

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

[hollow gust]

Huh Raffelo heals?

[rain bobcat]

have u not known this

[elder grove]

and I still don't know why we can't craft gold gear box, we can craft gold books

[rain bobcat]

raffa heals with x% of her own hp to lowest hp ally

[sharp socket]

will raff uni aquila work better at making backline live than sashi uni aquila

[weary gust]

"When this ship fires her Main Guns: 50% (100%) chance to fire a Lv.1 (Lv.10) special barrage (DMG is based on the skill's level). When this barrage activates, the following effects take place based on if Jet-Black Paint and Pearlescent Paint are currently applied on the battlefield: If any allies are affected by Pearlescent Paint, restores 2% of Raffaello's Max HP to the ship with the lowest current percentage of HP. If any allies are affected by Artist's Blessing, this effect will activate 3 more times (target is determined independently for each activation);"

[rain bobcat]

more or less equal or more in favour of musashi if support fleet is not the best probably

[sharp socket]

i find musashi to be very squishy in my experience

[hollow gust]

Ngl I always thought she had op shielding only

[rain bobcat]

when using sashi I dont think I've ever dropped below 60% hp

[sharp socket]

my sashi goes to like 30% hp after 2 super cv fleets about 50% of the time

[stark quiver]

did you let a big plane wall smack you
and that plane wall out dps's aquilas heal

i havent had that problem

[rain bobcat]

maybe timing issue

[hollow gust]

Also I find using Aquila with raffy redundant, better just to run dps ngl

[rain bobcat]

you need to nuke the CVs when they spawn

[knotty jolt]

During one of my 15-2 clears i actually managed to drop sub 50% on musashi

[rain bobcat]

15-2 is a bitch with double BBV, probably why

[sharp socket]

ive been playing on auto with no subs all the time

[knotty jolt]

idk what caused it to happen but she healed back up to 80%+ on subsequent battles

[sharp socket]

and some airstrikes as usual

[knotty jolt]

oh my boss fleets actually got beat hard on that one time my amagi cv just got one shotted from their first volley

[rain bobcat]

[sharp socket]

throughout my w15 journey i just found many of the guides about sashi uni aquila to be terrible because musashi does not live good

[rain bobcat]

you may either lack vanguard dps or ur CVs are a bit too close together

[hollow gust]

That has way less to do with Musashi then other parts of your fleet

[sharp socket]

was gonna raise raff but then forgor

[rain bobcat]

generally, musashi will not get melted unless the full CV wave launch once or teicr

remember it spawns like 2 carriers+hiyou junyou, that's a FUCK TON of planes

[hollow gust]

I'm a Lion mob simp

[knotty jolt]

I'm actually clearing w15 i think at a reasonable pace and my vanguard for my mob fleet consists of napoli sandy and z52

[rain bobcat]

[sharp socket]

ill go at it again with guam sandy laff2 once that event comes around and then ill see if it still happens

[knotty jolt]

Yes im using napoli shush

[rain bobcat]

i would like to say use shimanto over sandy

but prob works fine

[hollow gust]

Shimanto is a downgrade unless you have trouble having vanguard surviving

[sharp socket]

on paper my setup was pretty good when i passed it by some gph people

[knotty jolt]

Rate my w15 clearing fleets btw just let it rip no hold bars.

[rain bobcat]

napoli is an outlier, and probably plymouth as well

[hollow gust]

Napoli and Plymouth

[knotty jolt]

also first few runs in chapter 15-1 and 15-2 i was using double aimed iron blood torpedo bombers on amagi

[viscid swift]

well I don't know what else you have to work with but subs could be better but that's kind of a wash
Napoli is a questionable choice

[hollow gust]

Sub fleet is Subpar

[knotty jolt]

Ignore the subs that's something else im primarily using them for health decreasing

[rain bobcat]

I think running double line over AA formation is a noticeable difference in vanguard survivability

[knotty jolt]

plus im working on actual good sub fleet just im lazy on leveling 404

[viscid swift]

I find gear usually breaks me more than fleet comps though

[knotty jolt]

of my support fleet they're equipped with the best fighters but one who has flapjacks cause i ran out of electronics

[knotty jolt]

I just really like garlic head

also i just really like smokescreen skills we need to bring them back imo

[true kraken]

is any of these 2 has heal?

[knotty jolt]

joffre doesn't heal painleve does

[wise cairn]

painleve

[true kraken]

dang I thought the chat is dead

[knotty jolt]

i mean we do got stuff outside of azur lane we do

[ocean terrace]

I assume these go on vanguards but could someone explain the skill + who I should put it on

[knotty jolt]

The skill is irrelevant it's a worse washing machine but still good due to having EVA stat

[weary gust]

Skill is a gimmick to enable muse ship skills in fleets without required number otherwise. Goes on heavy cruisers mostly for the EVA stat.

[true kraken]

I'm returned player, so are these still work good?

[ocean terrace]

CA like Tohka then I guess

which of these would it replace

[knotty jolt]

As much as i like me my factional fleets they aren't that good for proper endgame content

[true kraken]

It's for event stage, I just started today

[knotty jolt]

literally neither cause the crystal is exactly the same as cosmic kicks in every way but name both give the same EVA and SPD aswell as both have the function to change the faction of the ship

[ocean terrace]

lmao I see, is it only good on CAs?

[weary gust]

Event stage grinding is use whatever can clear it.

[knotty jolt]

Event stage can literally be cleared with whatever so they would work but you'd need more then just 2 fleets if you wanna clear it efficiently

[knotty jolt]

literaly any ship that'd want more evasion

[true kraken]

how come, show me, or do I need to make a thread for you to help me organize my fleets?

[knotty jolt]

large cruisers heavy cruisers light cruisers, hell you can put it on an mainfleet ship during 15-2 if the double aviation battleships are giving you too much trouble

[weary gust]

SP6 requires 4 fleets since it's coalition style.

[knotty jolt]

It's cause this event has a coalition mode thing where each fleet fights one battle seperately each

instead of one fleet fighting every battle then you send in the other fleet for the boss

also it doesn't pull from your premade fleets

[true kraken]

Ohhh, so how many fleets total do I need

[knotty jolt]

you gotta remake them in the event fleet tab

for sector 6 mentioned above you need 4

[true kraken]

but it only show me 2 fleet available

[knotty jolt]

sector 6 is the only one that matters cause it's the one that has oil cap

for sectors 1-5 clear it with as few ships as possible to save on oil if you can

like 1:1 fleets and such cause they don't have oil cap

[true kraken]

Oh, how long do you think I can clear the whole event if I just started today?

[knotty jolt]

if you're dedicated i think you could finish it in 3 days?

[stray crane]

yeah i finished in 3 days

[rapid shard]

Finished leveling all my IB main fleet options but still gotta finish FDGs second xp task. Between Strausser Tripitz Bismark and Lutzow are any particularly useful? Tech or gameplay

[stray crane]

60k event points

[true kraken]

Isnt the event ended in 3 days?

[knotty jolt]

I forget

[stray crane]

yes

[knotty jolt]

so best get working

[true kraken]

dang it, I just try to collect all date a live girl, is it possible?

[stark quiver]

yes

[stray crane]

should i just get this instead of the white shell next month i have 1 white and 1 black

[knotty jolt]

only if the ship that needs it is british

[rain bobcat]

no

yellow is on average wors on white for all ships even british

[sweet delta]

Is there any retrofit that is not +1 rarity from the base ship?

[knotty jolt]

ima just ask how cause yellow provides 5 more hit stat in exchange for 10 less fp

[stray crane]

so annoying taht i gotta clear the same map 4 times to move on

[rain bobcat]

it would result in very slightly lower non crit because of 10 fp difference and also a very slightly higher crit peak because of 5% crit dmg assuming ur shots don't get evaded

the hit difference probably isn't much unless DD

[stray crane]

i m using one dd rn

[rain bobcat]

however even against DD it's possible to reach almost hit cap with a debuffer even if you use black shell, i.e yuudachi and kawakaze META

[knotty jolt]

[stray crane]

so i should get another white shell

[knotty jolt]

Personally I think you should get something like a bregut

[rain bobcat]

indep/breguet then another white

[stray crane]

this ?

[weary gust]

Yamashiro/Fusou go from Rare to Common strength Don't think so.

[true kraken]

do I need to start one by one or just jumb to sector 6?

[knotty jolt]

i think you clear each one atleast once then to 6

[weary gust]

You need to clear each sector enough times to unlock the unique augments I believe? (Is that how it works after the raid events ended)?

[knotty jolt]

they get put into missions after the initial clear is over

[knotty jolt]

if not this then just jump to 6

[stray crane]

independent really that good ?

[ocean terrace]

great crossfleet + her retrofit I'm pretty sure, also CV buff?

[weary gust]

Strong mobbing damage, offset airstrike timing for mobbing efficiency, crossfleet buff to CVs, extremely strong intercept AA.

[knotty jolt]

She also recently got an augment that just boosts vanguard survivability pretty strongly for US ships

And you'll be using quite a few in higher worlds cause they're just strong

[ocean terrace]

also are you recommending indep/breguet when they don't have 2 white shells + 1 black shell?
is there a reason for that?

[true kraken]

I fouhgt 1 once and it still 0%, and it said complete mission for reward, what is the mission?

[knotty jolt]

Number goes down not up

Starts at 100% and we as a server worked it down to 0%

[true kraken]

Ohhh

[knotty jolt]

The augments for the ships should be in your event missions

[weary gust]

This event is a totally different format from others. It started as a server wide raid event where collective runs lowered the percentage and 0% is cleared. The coalition battle format is another separate event type that was also jammed into this event, making it the most annoying and worst designed event in AL history.

[stray crane]

when is the next event ?

[ocean terrace]

UR event mid-late december, some say 18th, others say 25th

[knotty jolt]

I'd highly doubt it'd be the 25th.

[true kraken]

dam, so is the mission easy?

[knotty jolt]

for newer players hell no lol

but it's just grinding

[weary gust]

Idk what the requirement is for unique equipment because this event format is totally f-ed in every imaginable way. I got the augments from running each stage at least once before server progress cleared them. The requirements for getting them afterward are different and were initially messed up to be bugged too.

[true kraken]

then can you help me for the sector 6 fleets?

[knotty jolt]

looking at your previous screenshots you'll be perfectly fine

enemy levels on hardmode are 100

reason why it isn't easy for new players is they can't afford to have 4 full fleets

[true kraken]

Oh, so when I do 1 time sector 6, I should go back doing mission to get all the aug before go back to sector 6 to grind points?

[knotty jolt]

iirc the missions actually require you to grind out points to a set amount to complete for the augments

[true kraken]

So basically just grind sector 6

[knotty jolt]

Best get grinding you don't have that many days left

[true kraken]

I start to understand now, cuz not 4, but 8 fleet in total if my first 4 is exhausted

[knotty jolt]

oh due to the length and since each fleet is only battling once it'll take a very long time for them to actually run out of morale

[true kraken]

Do I do full fleet for all 4 or just 1:3 ?

or 1:1 ?

[weary gust]

Oil cap so full fleet.

[knotty jolt]

full as sector 6 is oil capped at 100 oil per full battle

[true kraken]

aight. peace out

is the thing for essex to go UR still available?

[wise cairn]

No wait until next year

[true kraken]

Noooooooooo

[clear harbor]

Am I stuck in an abyssal zone until I can clear it?

[knotty jolt]

yes

[clear harbor]

That is not ideal.

I think i'm stuck here until the reset, which means I can't buy stuff from port.

[knotty jolt]

What's stopping you from clearing it and getting to the exit?

[clear harbor]

I don't think my fleet is quite strong enough.

I got it down to 50%, but I only have one of those mob fleets left to restore resolve.

[knotty jolt]

you can spend 50 AP for a full fleet repair and morale restoration

[clear harbor]

I already used that. 😩

What a pain

I barely spent anything. was waiting to spend later.

[knotty jolt]

did a quick search after seeing suchi react and just found you can leave but you lose out any other rewards you can get

[rain bobcat]

take the L and exit

[clear harbor]

How do I do that?

[rain bobcat]

big button saying EXIT

[clear harbor]

Lol. So obvoius. Thanks, team.

Thank goodness.

[reef bane]

yo is F6F Hellcat gear bad or smth i dont see it on the quick gear guide by sushigummy 🥹

[reef bane]

oh

3rd best 😭

[clear harbor]

Thank you all again. I was able to bail, buy stuff, and craft a Wyvern.

[reef bane]

should i put my strong planes on enty or unicorn?

[whole crypt]

outside of serious plane hells the top 2 are effectively the same

for what it's worth hellcat is the best you can get that doesn't cost you any currency

[reef bane]

aight ima js toss it on unicorn

[whole crypt]

gold corsair is slightly better but it's core shop, other gold 2x500s are slightly worse for AA

[reef bane]

damn i have hellcat and baracuda

[whole crypt]

they're fine for most part

you're not going to have access to the better options until a fair bit later, they're all locked behind lab

[reef bane]

ngl im just gonna toss it on enty i js saw her ability
double damage sounds nice

[whole crypt]

both of them will need to be geared but yes Enty might want it more for damage earlier on

[reef bane]

am i blind where is the main fleet auxes section

[clear harbor]

Should I focus on buying gold plates or lab materials from the OpSi port?

[reef bane]

oh i see it nvm

🥹

[frozen zealot]

How come I can't use Kurumi as secretary? what is the npc tag?

[clear harbor]

Kurumi is sort of on loan.
As you clear runs, you get points. When you earn enough points, you'll get Kurumi permanently.

[frozen zealot]

oki doki

[reef bane]

if you retire an mlb ship do you get the bulins back 🥹

[frozen zealot]

haven't played the game in ages

[clear harbor]

In a middle of an auto run, otherwise I'd show you. Hopefully someone can give you a better idea.

[frozen zealot]

are the DaL units in general good for regular use?

[frozen zealot]

noted

[rapid shard]

Vanguards are very good

[clear harbor]

I think you need 1000 points to unlock Kurumi?

[rapid shard]

1k to make her permanent then you get dupes at 2k, 3k and 4k

[low hull]

help, what's the current meta on CV fleets for OpSi bosses?

[rapid shard]

Make sure get the secret ords and electronics at minimum. Ideally you should buy all

[reef bane]

should i unlock the modernization retrofit for unicorn? what happens if i do that

[frozen zealot]

also.. is farming gold still the same method as old? Auto sortie as high of a stage you can?

[rapid shard]

Yes you want to complete all retro points. Moderation is what changes the appearance and rarity

[reef bane]

with higher rarity i can keep upgrading her level right

[rapid shard]

Rarity doesnt change how high you can raise them level wise. All ships are capped to a max of 125

[reef bane]

i mlb my tohka but shes capped at 100 tho

[rapid shard]

Click the level bar. You can awaken them to increase cap from 100 to 105

Then 110 115 120 and 125

[soft raft]

You have to use cog chips to raise max lvl up to 120 (In increments of 5) and cog arrays to raise up to 125

[reef bane]

oh

[rapid shard]

Ideally you want to raise every ship to at least 120

[ivory sigil]

what does this do

[rapid shard]

Used to fight META boss

[soft raft]

Lets you fight the currenly featured META boss fight

[reef bane]

why do some ships have retrofit and some dont
i have warspite and shes the only SR that has retrofit in my dock

[rapid shard]

The spot circled in red

[north gorge]

Devs decide who gets a retrofit

[ivory sigil]

cant see where to use it, only dossle and 3time a day on Yuzukikaze meta

[clear harbor]

Are retrofits generally for popular ships that got powercrept?

[reef bane]

are retofitted ships better then cuz they have more things to upgrade

[rapid shard]

Only SRs with Retros is San Diego Yuudachi WarSpite Essex and Eldridge that I know of

[rapid shard]

When you click the showdown does it not take you to this screen?

[soft raft]

No
Cuz I dont think anyone really cared about Charles Auburn outside of the beaver badge reward

[reef bane]

i just noticed in both my fleets i go 1 bb as flagship and 2 cvs, is that good

[sweet delta]

many retrofitted ships were bottom of the barrel garbage, and after retrofit they became less bottom of the barrel garbage

[reef bane]

😭

[sweet delta]

good ships are good

[clear harbor]

Is there a way to buy specific upgrade materials? Shop seems to give them out randomly. I'm no where near buying out the shop. So it sounds like I'm not earning enough special tokens each month? I cleared out the special token purchases in the port shop already.

[clear harbor]

Lol. Good point.

[rapid shard]

Liverpool port shop has all the crafting materials. If you bought that out completely then your good.

[clear harbor]

Oh, I bought a lot of these thingies instead.

[ivory sigil]

they used to
but someclicky and i end up only see the dossle helena lv15 now

[soft raft]

iirc If you have a META fight active and you havent killed it yet, you'll always be redirected to that

[rapid shard]

You want to buy out that shop completely. Especially the gold plates

[clear harbor]

I'll buy gold plates next time.

[frozen zealot]

Is this event done now? I canjust auto farm now? I cleared all on hard mode haven't touched normal yet

[north gorge]

Yeah you can just farm

[frozen zealot]

cheerio

nice to feel my old ahh acc still can do things lol

[ocean terrace]

should I be buying any of these other things?

[frozen zealot]

if I max lvl loan'd Kurumi does perma kurumi keep levels ?

[ocean terrace]

when you actually get her from points yes

[rain bobcat]

no

[rapid shard]

@rain bobcat need some advice. Trying to get to point of one shoting meta fight. Closest run ive had. Im assuming I just need higher DPS vanguards?

[vale hill]

what's the event shop buying priority?

[wind hazel]

you need to use another ship other than musashi and agir lol

ok nvm that's not yuudachi meta

[reef bane]

x-1 is coins and x-4 is xp right

[wind hazel]

do you have plymouth

[wind hazel]

other way around

[rapid shard]

Not yet and cant get her to dev 25 even with catchup

[wind hazel]

z52 or trafalgar?

[rapid shard]

Nope only URs I have are Hakuhou and perms. Vanguard Kron and Ulrich are not MLB rest are

[indigo cargo]

medal shop resets soon should i grab anyone from it as an early game player

[wind hazel]

pray for triple radar scan

[rain bobcat]

plymouth alone would prob fix the issue

[rapid shard]

That was a triple scan run lol

[wind hazel]

gg then

[clear harbor]

Oh jeez. I forgot about the Medal shop. Thank you for the reminder, even if it was unintented.

[rapid shard]

Ive got BB RLD to +6 so im getting full 4th salvo on all 3.

Ply should be coinable next pr update right?

[rain bobcat]

yeah

[rapid shard]

Would Oumi be better than Warspite?

For this medium armor fight

[wind hazel]

doubt it

needs flag+mog gun to be effective

[stark quiver]

she does?

[rapid shard]

No mog gun, running twin 137 on her currently with standard gold auxs

[wind hazel]

forget about oumi then

do you have bayard fs5 lol

[wind hazel]

dps drops immensely without mog gun 13

even twin100k you will see dps drop a lot

[rapid shard]

Nope lol shes not coinable, on noncoinable ships ive got dev30/FS5 are Kansas and 30 prints from FS5 shimanto

Ill have one when month reset using +13 daisen champ and flandre gun currently

[stark quiver]

arent fcrs and those enough

[rapid shard]

Eh not quite. Cant seem to break 400k mark with any of them. With hpfcr white combos. Probably just need a bit more FP/HIT tech until I can get Ply Bayard or similar

[harsh isle]

hello, i just came back to the game after a long time and im kinda struggling, my main fleet is alsace, musashi, shinano, dido, z46 and noshiro
i need a second fleet but i dont know which ships are good

and also how can i level characters faster? i was leveling up a few ones but its too slow
also commander level because i need to be lvl 50 to unlock the main story-6 and im level 42

[soft raft]

You are not in a position to work on a 2nd fleet rn, esp when your current fleet is horridly scuffed

I would reccomend giving this a read https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[craggy pecan]

need some help on getting exp fast for the shipyard. Is there any way to gain the 1 mil exp fast or do i just have to thug it out for months?

[viscid swift]

It can be done in a few hours farming w12

If it takes you months then you are doing something horribly wrong

[craggy pecan]

took agir 6 months :/

[sweet delta]

Not playing the game is horribly wrong

[craggy pecan]

i'm constructing brest and all my ships from the required faction are below 100

I can't clear world 7 let alone 12

[north gorge]

Put 3 ships from the correct nation in main/vanguard and get grinding is the fast eay

[sweet delta]

Go to 12, use more exp packs or bring better ships

12 also doesn't require level 100 ships

[viscid swift]

First off, are you in chapter 12 of the main campaign

[craggy pecan]

I'm past 12

this all i got:/

[viscid swift]

Well push to chapter 12 first before you even think about farming Xp for pR ships

[knotty jolt]

Difference between max lb and non max

[sweet delta]

I don't see how that can't do 12

[craggy pecan]

They die pretty easily

[knotty jolt]

equip them with evasion aux then

[viscid swift]

What are you using to farm xp with exactly

[knotty jolt]

A low level ship can beat higher level enemies if their gear is good. The higher your level the less gear is a requirement

[viscid swift]

Also this was literally my farming fleet for 12-1 a few days ago

[ivory sigil]

200k GOLD !

[craggy pecan]

heres my gears

[ivory sigil]

[viscid swift]

bleh

[craggy pecan]

i don't have much T3 parts so i get them to lvl 6

[viscid swift]

first off, you do realize you only need main fleet or vanguard XP for any given missions right

[craggy pecan]

Yeah

[viscid swift]

so why are you running a full faction fleet

2nd, your gear is shit

[craggy pecan]

someone told me to

[viscid swift]

and your ships are not all max limit break

and they're all pretty underleveled

now, if it were just one issue this would be surmountable but when you combine them all together you get a disaster frankly

[knotty jolt]

Stat difference between max limit break and non limit broken ships is pretty big

and that's not including the other benefits to limit breaking like bonus gun mounts and preloads

that fleet is operating like at 20% it's full power

[craggy pecan]

Fah

[viscid swift]

that's being very generous by my estimation

[craggy pecan]

like i do not understand how ppl power thru floor 12 with 2 ships and no gear

[viscid swift]

well in my case cross fleets

[knotty jolt]

by having the ship be a higher level then the enemy helps

[viscid swift]

but if you have a half decent fleet that's properly geared, leveled, and limit broken it'll do just fine

[reef bane]

wait what is cross fleeting

[craggy pecan]

u barely have any gears on urs tho

[knotty jolt]

Ships that have effects that do stuff in the opposite fleet that's battling

[reef bane]

huh

[viscid swift]

I literally just said that

[knotty jolt]

For example the fleet new jersey is not in after awhile in battle will do an extra barrage

[reef bane]

oh what the heck

[knotty jolt]

She's not in that fleet yet she can send a barrage to it for extra effect

[reef bane]

wait thats crazy

but im still getting shinano from the handbook

[craggy pecan]

how do i know how to cross fleet

[viscid swift]

it's mainly gacha URs

[knotty jolt]

The skill will usually say it will effect the opposite fleet

[viscid swift]

but they're not necessary to comfortably farm W12

[reef bane]

truly the vanguard of all time

[viscid swift]

for now, forget about trying to run a full main fleet or vanguard of french ships, that's not happening right now

use just Lyon for now and farm with 5 other ships you have that are already decently leveled and max limit broken for XP

use AA radars on them if necessary to deal with the planes

[craggy pecan]

alr

[viscid swift]

and use a seperate fleet to fight the boss

[viscid swift]

and make sure to equip them properly

[craggy pecan]

i lowk do not know how to equip ships properly i just slap on whatever i have left

[viscid swift]

in the mean time, prepare the other ships that you're going to use to farm XP with by leveling them with the dorm/xp pcks, limit breaks, etc

[knotty jolt]

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

[viscid swift]

strip gear from other ships if need be

[craggy pecan]

how do i know which is good

[knotty jolt]

Read the guide

[craggy pecan]

is there anyway i can get auto farm to automatically switch to my second fleet for the boss

[knotty jolt]

that's on by default

Unless you messed with configs during fleet selection

[craggy pecan]

it don't do that so i prolly did

[rapid shard]

Yes before you sortie set roles for each fleet

[craggy pecan]

Omg thank you i've been trying to figure this out

6 years i played this game and i'm still buns

[knotty jolt]

tbh I'm a year one player been since first anniverary and im still learning from people like cheeky who started playing later then me

just part of the game

[craggy pecan]

respect to those who help other and teaches

[ivory sigil]

So after 10 days in this game
i think my DAL team is welldone and i can go back to continue develop my 2nd team
lets consider DAL team as a mobfleet
how should i build a bossfleet?

pls help cuz the month is getting reset
(imma post a thread for the info then?)

2nd team after my DAL team?

[rapid shard]

Boss fleet is similar build to mob just dont need a healer. Usually 1bb 2cv tank support off tank/dps

[stray crane]

[cobalt gate]

so is rainbow pr fate simulation random or we get them at a set time

[viscid swift]

well we'll typically get them January/February but whether they give a DR a fate sim at all each year is a coin toss

[craggy pecan]

i need both

[viscid swift]

I said for any given mission

and you can't work on CDC 1 and 2 at the same time

[craggy pecan]

Ohh so i gotta clear the main first

[wanton vector]

need help for team and equip 14-3 and 14-4 full clear 3 star.

[viscid swift]

have you got Aquila, or Zuiho

[vale hill]

what's the buying priority for the current event shop?

[viscid swift]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief
and have you given these a look through yet

[sweet delta]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQL0OyGRpSq2KKacSX0SZYpG5kUc8yM9MiCbmWb9KGK4QGV_m3roOeD7JHxfFNlWBh7P43_l2BrubOp/pubhtml#gid=801082563

[vale hill]

is it worth to get more copies if i already have the event SSR?

[slow rain]

which war archives files should I grind?

[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.

[rapid shard]

I literally just searched that up to repost it lol

[ivory sigil]

Yeah i was like... if i dont have eldridge what if i use Jean in 2nd fleet for #1444915679160438805 .... tho are they not worth? Or this is another of lackSR-bulin issue?

[viscid swift]

Jeanne is barely worth mention as a substitute for eldridge retrofit

[stark quiver]

yeah just use a tank 🧠

[rapid shard]

I thought Jeanne was pretty solid for a easily accessible unit? Definitely not EldRetro level but but thought she was still decent choice

[stark quiver]

shes good if you have skill issue
but other than that just run better ships to blast your enemy away

and shes basically minus a dps boat or damage support boat slot

[atomic abyss]

She's definitely decent yes

[fluid pike]

Could somebody give me some advice on how to use Oumi, it seems that she could be broken for bossing but I am not sure how to set her up properly

[hollow gust]

Equip her like you do with regular BBs

[onyx flame]

its basically flag her and then give her good dd secondaries, then there additional stuff like buffing her and/or dragging the boss closer so the secondaries can smack em

[fluid pike]

It seems like the long-range secondary guns and CC buff for main guns are strong, but it seems like she does not have enough range to cheese META fights without cheese, since they like to hang around just oustide of her range

[onyx flame]

for muudachi you need sometime to drag the boss closer like the twins from this collab

[fluid pike]

I have seen that most people use Bismark Zwei or now the Yamai twins from DOA collab can pull bosses into range

[ivory sigil]

How to get oumi ?

[sweet delta]

check gacha in 2 years

[fluid pike]

from the JP anniv event that you just missed

[ivory sigil]

So i only have like 35 mins left to speedrun??? Bruh it take so long to unlock the one in between

Like they always need fullclear to secure

[tulip tinsel]

Yes

[ivory sigil]

fkths puzzle trolling me when i need speedrun

[ocean terrace]

yeah I spent the whole of yesterday and earlier today grinding to ch5, if you take too long on the puzzles, TB (npc) gives you the option to clear it automatically though

[ivory sigil]

Pls dont say you took over 10hours for ch1 to ch4

[ocean terrace]

if you skip some mobs fleets and just do what the story requires you too, it's not that bad

[gusty badger]

why does akashi mailing me every 1hour

[hollow gust]

Its a series of preplanned gifts

[reef bane]

omg mika

[reef bane]

huh im not getting those

[ivory sigil]

Me Crying in poor f2p wallet

[hollow gust]

Tap Akashi

[ivory sigil]

No i mean the one in between, the land in between those

[ocean terrace]

is this from her side quests?

[ivory sigil]

We need to secure by destroy all exisiting ship right??

[ocean terrace]

after the story part, yes

I guess it might take a while if your fleet isn't overlevelled compared to enemy fleet

I just used 1 fleet with uni and my strongest ships to clear through it quickly
auto-search helps when there's a group of fleets close together that you need to clear through

[ivory sigil]

I mean technecally yeah

[ocean terrace]

you have... 12 minutes left, good luck!

[ivory sigil]

But the shipmovement just like dancing in disco they keep rotating in 1 place and dance like thriller

[viscid swift]

If they're still on puzzles I doubt they're close to finishing chapter 4

[ocean terrace]

I mean it's not the end of the world

[viscid swift]

Fail enough times and tb will do it for you

[ivory sigil]

I should had press Skip button more frequent

[ocean terrace]

I read 0 texts of the story to get through it lmao

[ivory sigil]

Imma see u guys next month lol

[ocean terrace]

it's really not that bad

[ivory sigil]

At least i would have some proper time to prepare, either for the best or the worse

[hollow gust]

it took me less then a day to finish opsi story and that was when we were all starting to learn it

[ivory sigil]

ok ok, imma go whipping some merit point pvp before it reset lul, i reach lv60 all a sudden yesterday made it kinda rushed

[ocean terrace]

honestly I probably won't even be using my materials from opsi anytime soon in gear lab

[ivory sigil]

ohyeah, the best thing was from the protocore thingy right??????

[ocean terrace]

for new players I think so, monthly reset is now

grab your champy/flandre guns

[austere marsh]

wait why did the game kick me out of opsi , they didnt do it last month

[ivory sigil]

is this skin paid?

[ocean terrace]

yes, from cruise pass

now I know the purple gun is the 2nd best HE gun
so I assume I continue to use HE on mobbing BBs and shiny new AP one on boss BBs?

[onyx flame]

ap guns are used when dealing with med/heavy armor boss

[sharp socket]

for mobbing you can use twin 410

[ivory sigil]

how to get twin410

[ocean terrace]

these?

[vale hill]

is there any gear guides for what's best on the event ships?

[ocean terrace]

on all mob BBs?

I thought these were for certain salvo/barrage ships

[wind niche]

When did Azur Lane remove the siren labs from OPSI?

[onyx flame]

if you have 406mk6 no real reason to use twin 410, unless musashi cause ijn gun req

[ocean terrace]

so I should only use the champy/flandre if I know I'm against a med/heavy boss, on my boss fleet BBs

[wind niche]

Yes. AP guns generally better on boss BBs.

[onyx flame]

p much

[reef bane]

should i get U-96 from the medal shop?

[onyx flame]

depends on how much medals you got and or are gonna get through out the month

[reef bane]

and is anyone from the SR BB selection worth looking at

uh i have 233 medals

[rapid shard]

Alabama. Rest for tech if needed

[onyx flame]

alabama if you dont got a good mobbing bb yet

[wind niche]

Yes if you have other iron blood subs to pair with.

[reef bane]

i have richeliu and kotori as my flagships, rest are cvs

[wind niche]

What CVs you got? Cuz Alamaba is a decent mobbing BB.

[onyx flame]

ehh good enuf, you can opt to use the bb for faction tech imo

[ocean terrace]

would it be worth the effort and resources to buy Alabama, mlb her then replace her for Maryland that I was planning to retrofit?

[reef bane]

unicorn, origami, ryuuhou, enty

[ivory sigil]

errrr why i cant use both golden gun on same BB? are they for 2 BB team ??

[hushed dawn]

How do you get more Supply Shop Vouchers again?

[ocean terrace]

huh. you only get 1 main gun per ship wdym

[ivory sigil]

ah,, ok what does 2nd gun use?? any gold is fine

[ocean terrace]

auxilary gun, usually for defence

[wind niche]

Unicorn is a very good mobbing CVL. Should get the independence retrofitted.

[wind niche]

By grinding OPSI and leftover stuff you grind is converted in the next season.

[rapid shard]

W13 and up you need a AP gun for mob and boss

[tawny pumice]

Question about today's reset. What is the window that pops up after the cruise mission pop up upon starting the game? I was trying to close out of the cruise mission window and ending up clicking out of the next window too fast.
Edit: Cool it came back when I went back to the main hub. It was the coupon expiring warning

[wind niche]

Use against suicide boats. Useful with cruiser guns if possible for longer ranges.

[ocean terrace]

use these if you have them for BB secondary

these work too

[wind niche]

TBH gold triple 155mms better for secondaries if you are end game.

[ocean terrace]

we are both new (a week-ish)

[wind niche]

Well hello! Nice to see a new face!

[ivory sigil]

well, based on what we've been told so far (mostly in our thread)... i think it is a yes.

mr belfast pfp told me i shouldn't buy alabama due to SR bulin issue

[hushed dawn]

Is there a specific resource that yields more vouchers than others?

I end up at 11k usually and I would like to extend that to 12k.

I finish up everything in OpSi after a season. Harbiters, strongholds, hidden zones included.

[ocean terrace]

ah cheeky? I'll have to ask them later when they're on

[ivory sigil]

i think so... i were use gold

[wind niche]

How many SR bullins you got?

[ocean terrace]

damnnn you got some great gear? how'd you manage that? is my tech box luck that bad lmao

https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/

use this website for a full guide on any type of gear though

[wind niche]

Arbiters are best. Also holding onto the coordinates gives you more vouchers if you don't want to go through all the puzzles. Plus holding onto the special item tokens gives a bit.

[onyx flame]

not using loggers to get voucher is very

[wind niche]

I mean if you want to just get vouchers then

[ivory sigil]

1️⃣ 💀 oops

[onyx flame]

if you want more voucher you option is to c1 farm to generate more ap

[wind niche]

Big oof. Save them up then. Better to get a ship maxed.

[onyx flame]

but idk why you even want that much voucher for there only so much you can buy from the shop anyway

[ocean terrace]

how many UR bulins do you have?

[ivory sigil]

wait you mean your bb/ kotori wasn't using this?

wait let me check the gear lab.......

[hushed dawn]

Aight.

[ocean terrace]

no haha, most of my gear is purple

[onyx flame]

what are you planning to use maryland for first plus whats your current bbs

[wind niche]

I usually buy a logger, 20 high efficiency plans, and the tuning samples.

[hushed dawn]

I just need an extra 1k vouchers to clear the shop of all the stuff that I want.

[rapid shard]

Is arbitor back to Hermit this month?.

[ivory sigil]

so the person who need gearlab was me ???
now i feel morepainful to skip this month of opsi reset 💀

[onyx flame]

yea if thats the case just do c1 farming to print more ap to do c3 to gather more coins/tokens, dont leave logger to be converted, the mats drop are more useful

[cobalt gate]

so anyway to keep going or i can only just restart game?

[wind niche]

Gearlab is mid game when you have 3 decent fleets to do OPSI. You need to grind mats to craft better gold gear.

[cobalt gate]

its been stuck like this for 20 min

[ocean terrace]

Maryland retro as my boss fleet BB, Kotori as my mob fleet BB
BBs are definitely the weakest part of my fleets, only other options are lvl 100 mlb Warspite (too expensive to retro), Hood, Tosa, Bismarck, Sovetskaya Rossiya

[wind niche]

Probably restart the game IG.

[cobalt gate]

welp had like 1k stamina

[hollow gust]

say buy to your spare AP

[cobalt gate]

forgot to get out of the map and wait

[hushed dawn]

Aight.

[clear harbor]

So for challenge mode...Warpite pulls off her "darkeness" attack before I can charge any of my BBs or CVS. Should I switch to manual and start with a preloaded salvo?

[wind niche]

You should probably get retro independence as your main mobber for now warspite retro is weak.

[onyx flame]

wouldnt retro warspite, can consider continuing with maryland retro and how close are you to being able to research fdg since she can takeover mobbing bb

[ivory sigil]

good luck getting fdg

[ocean terrace]

I put white shell and black shell priority higher than Independence for now

[wind niche]

TBH Warspite retro is the weakest UR BB and very niche. Only useful for niche PVP due to accuracy.
