[stone sluice]

I love seeing Zuihou there

[sick kettle]

i havent cleared whole w13 yet do i farm in 13-2 or just stick to 12-4?

[stone sluice]

Stick to w12

[ivory sigil]

nah it is empty by now
let me see if i can use it
opps how to use 1 oil ?

nvm imma speedrun the chap8 abit to unlock its hardmode

[ivory sigil]

~~did zuihou can be obtain is last month? ~~ nvm it was last year

[true kraken]

which one should I pick

[wind hazel]

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

[true kraken]

what are airship?

[wind hazel]

bottom right

[hasty skiff]

how to get more of the materials for gear lab in operation siren, its my last thing for rookie missions

[clear harbor]

Do OpSi and don't forget about daily missions?

Maybe there's a more efficient way that veterans know of.

[onyx flame]

its really just play more opsi

[rain bobcat]

consistency

[hasty skiff]

Where specifically do you get them, ive played a little bit and i didnt get much apart from the port store

[sweet delta]

Everywhere, really. But the more you play and the more harder stuff you play, the more rewards you get and it's not a linear time to rewards correlation

Playing all the easy zones and calling it a month won't get you very far

And neither will playing all the hard explorable zones and calling it a month

[jolly condor]

can someone send the build for agir

or just the spreadsheet for gear

[atomic solstice]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/

[viscid swift]

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

[atomic solstice]

napoli or nakhimov if I dont have soyuz?

[onyx flame]

prob still nakh if you mean researching and getting prints rn if your alr done with pr8, cause soyuz gonna rerun next year and you prob have nakh research finish just about as soyuz comes back

[atomic solstice]

not done with pr8, just been focusing pr7

[west steeple]

Who PR Ship should I get after friedrich?

[rapid shard]

AvP or Agir

[onyx flame]

anchorage

[stark quiver]

who else do you have

[real folio]

hello, what ship to research? i finally unlocked Meck. im torn between her and Nakhimov....even if i dont have more than 2 NT main ships , not many blueprints either

[west steeple]

I only have roon among research ships...

[stark quiver]

meck good

[stark quiver]

then achorage will be a good option

[west steeple]

ok thanks

[real folio]

unfortunately i have under 100 blueprints for both (also no soyuz or bismarck UR)

[stark quiver]

do you mean which season to prioritize?

[real folio]

i know to prioritize season 8, but i also want nakhimov now that i heard that soyuz might do a rerun next year

[stark quiver]

meck is probably more useful than soyuz and nakh since they take high reload to sync and do stuff

shes still good standalone

[real folio]

ok then ill stick with meck then and try to get her blueprints. thats also good because my BB isnt the best option from what ive gathered

[tame mural]

hello. The game said that Kurumi is temporary. How can I make her permanent?

[real folio]

ah btw, from the other researchable iron blood ships, what to get later? i could coin them on the side ( i already have AvP lb3 and nearly finished with Friedrich)

[halcyon nymph]

Hello. Just wanna ask. I wanna start building my 2nd fleet. Who should I raise beside Saratoga, Helena, Unicorn, and Nelson? Should I start raising San Diego? Is Portland and Pensy still viable? Thank you.

[ripe bluff]

Does musashi want flag

[rain bobcat]

yes but wont lose much if not flag

[halcyon nymph]

Here's my other shipgirls.

[ivory sigil]

who's your most used BC for this hardmode?

[real folio]

for kurumi to become permanent you need 1000 points in the event (not the event currency) , you can get that from farming chapter 3 and onwards.)

[ivory sigil]

/hardmode

[odd root]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/460648604974055424/1322138175426269215/image0.png

[stark quiver]

huh

[ivory sigil]

/reqhelp

[odd root]

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/images/equip_misc/Hard_Mode_Req_Help.jpeg

[ivory sigil]

how to get those BC

[rapid summit]

Is the Admiralty Fire Control Table still possible to get?

[onyx flame]

for now no, event reran and got archived but it still not here so its just up to majuu now

[rapid summit]

Oh dam ty

[ivory sigil]

it is not craftable?

[real folio]

if its the eldridge or essex retro item, no from what i know of

[rigid onyx]

i dont think there's any craftable aux

[onyx flame]

not from the gearlab at least

[ivory sigil]

what is the 1st thing you would do after login

[whole lichen]

What UR can u get from the rookie mission

[whole crypt]

Shinano or NJ

[whole lichen]

It's recommended to go for Shinano right

[onyx flame]

she is the better choice yea but you can leave the invite till you need 1 more cpoy to mlb her

[whole crypt]

the thing is we have so many more perm URs now and you want to save bulins for new URs too there's no real reason to pick one now and force yourself to work on her

just hold on to the invite, it doesn't expire

[valid forge]

is prinz eugen good

no again damn

[whole crypt]

have you checked newbie guide

[valid forge]

yes

[whole crypt]

there's no reason you should need eugen then

[sinful relic]

uhm?

are the skins bugged?

[slow fox]

-# Eugen slander smh

[halcyon nymph]

How about Lutzow? I saw her on the hard mode guide.

[sweet delta]

If both are maxed with bis gear, Tohka tanks a bit better than Eugen and does 4x as much damage.

[valid forge]

okay

[sweet delta]

Are you level 16+

[sweet delta]

not worth gold bulins unless you're desperate for tech which should not be the case

[sinful relic]

yeah im 22 XD its the first time this happened

[ivory sigil]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Masséna why there is no banner for this ship

nvm it is another le hardy event

[whole crypt]

looks like none of the ships from the event indicated limited pool on wiki

[whole lichen]

Is Alsace considered a perm UR in the selection

[whole crypt]

Alsace hasn't even reran yet

[whole lichen]

mhmm ok

[sinful relic]

question what hard mode would be good for purple for retrofit? my unicorn is level 90 and i have all the golds, just missing this one

ah nevermind, i fgured it out

[whole lichen]

Is the only way to get promise ring is gems as a f2p

[agile patrol]

i really wouldn't recommend buying promise rings with gems if ure unwilling to spend money
i wouldn't recommend using gems for anything cosmetic as a f2p

[stark quiver]

What tech do these two give and what tech does pompeo magno give

[whole crypt]

you get 1 from missions from your first ship hitting 100 affinity
besides that they usually hand one out every anniversary so you'll get another in August for EN
they otherwise hand them out very rarely on special occasions
for F2P we just don't recommend buying rings at all

[stark quiver]

💀

[ocean terrace]

should I be saving coins for the UR event as a new player?

[wind hazel]

yes

[ocean terrace]

I shouldn't worry about the soft cap then, and claiming coins from munition

[wind hazel]

never had to

you can care about it for now, start saving like 2 weeks before

there will be prelude event announcement, can start saving then

[ocean terrace]

got it thanks

[whole lichen]

for still new players what should I use the gems on then

[inland shoal]

Dorm slots until you got 3 and 2nd floor, rest into dock space

[halcyon nymph]

I see. I just fill her for my hard mode. Currently clearing the missions for my Saratoga retroship.

[reef bane]

wait what is special about 2nd floor in dorm

[inland shoal]

It has as many slots as 1st floor and higher morale recovery (no exp tho)

The point is that 3 slots + 2nd floor enables you to put a full fleet in

[reef bane]

oh

[halcyon nymph]

Do I still need to retrofit Portland as a beginner?

Guide said she's a good tank.

[whole crypt]

she is, and a relatively cheap one at that

if you picked up Tohka and have no trouble raising her then Portland sort of drops in priority, but you really want to be retrofiting Unicorn first anyway

[halcyon nymph]

So her teammates are... San Diego and Helena? I need some help on building my second fleet for stages 10+.

[whole crypt]

there's no specific members you need to go for, if you want fleet help start a thread and post your dock there

[halcyon nymph]

Oh.. where should I post it?

[whole crypt]

sandy and helena are decent picks but it'll depend on who else you have and whether those 2 go to the main fleet

start a thread with the thread button then post screenshots of your dock inside

[halcyon nymph]

Help. I need to build my second fleet.

[halcyon nymph]

Thank you. I didn't know this.

[scenic mesa]

If I buy a skin to a ship I do not own yet, will I get it when I get the ship? For example I have Nakhimov at 89 percent

[onyx flame]

you get the skin irregardless if you own the ship or not

[scenic mesa]

Oh thanks, so I'm going to buy her Photoshoot skin, is this a good idea? Or are any other skins that are better?

[onyx flame]

better in what? cause like skins are preferential (your looking at it yourself after all)
and if your an f2p you shouldnt be buying skins in the first place

[split bramble]

what does that skin tickets thing do?

I was told it was going to be expired

[onyx flame]

discount for purchasing black friday limited skins

[split bramble]

do I get a 180 gem discount?

oh ok, thank you

[onyx flame]

the 180 one can apply to some perma skins

[craggy pecan]

is leveling gears up to 6 good enough for world 12

[split bramble]

depends your ship

[onyx flame]

lvling up transitional gear to 6 is aight like purple catapults but some you have to +10

[split bramble]

lunch box is worth it, but most purple are not worth it, save it for golds

[craggy pecan]

whats transitional gear

[whole crypt]

basically gear you won't be using in late/endgame

[craggy pecan]

i'm not seeing a lunchbox gear on the wiki

[sweet delta]

By chapter 12 you should have all +10 if available

Don't be that guy in chapter 14 asking why he's failing while using +8 gear

[craggy pecan]

Oof

[whole crypt]

you'll be spending a fair bit of time leveling in ch12 and will be shuffling out gear while you do it

if you just got here you probably still have a bunch of stuff you will be replacing, it's more of when you get the replacement pieces

[craggy pecan]

thanks ya'll

also is the enhance thing in the ship a good thing to max out

[whole crypt]

if you're not sure whether your gear is worth enhancing past +6 check the gear guides or start a thread and post your depot/current ship gear

eventually you will want to enhance all of your ships to max stats they can attain, this doesn't cap out until the ship reaches lv100

but the relative improvement is far less than LBs, levels and giving the ships proper gear

[craggy pecan]

no wonder i never enhance my ships

[whole crypt]

just feed them common fodder as you go

[craggy pecan]

Aye aye

[spark patio]

where should i use gouden cb gun? Agir? btw how can i see that list?

[onyx flame]

you really only use gouden gun against light if you dont have unzen
list is just from the wiki research academy

[whole crypt]

Agir really doesn't want a HE gun

[hot aspen]

So, how many dupe do I need to max a Ship??

[haughty skiff]

4 dupes / 4 bulins

[hot aspen]

Yeah, what's this?

i keep getting them on missions

[haughty skiff]

that's a bulin

[hot aspen]

what's the use??

[haughty skiff]

i'd recommend reading this for a lot of general information

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[haughty skiff]

bulins are used to limit break ships- they're functionally the same as dupes

[hot aspen]

Is that like limited how many star the bulin?

Like, 4-star bulin for 4-star ship

[sinful relic]

wait when does the event end? tmr?

[hot aspen]

Yes, Tomorrow. for my timezone.

[whole crypt]

purple bulins are good for common, rare and elite ships (grey/blue/purple)
gold bulins are only for gold ships
rainbow for rainbow

damn it game where is my metatron DB skin

[hot aspen]

So, Is this still doable (within the time limit)

[whole crypt]

if for claiming Yoshino yes there's enough time to get 2.5k

I might be slightly more concerned what your progress is with Kurumi

[hot aspen]

Grinding for 4 hours now

Already got her.

Im now aiming for the 2k dupe

[whole crypt]

if you can run stage 6 with coalition it's just like 13 more runs, a little less considering you still have Wedneday's daily missions

[sinful relic]

heya so i got tohka to level 100, now what?

[whole crypt]

stage 6 without coalition will take you 15+ runs

[whole crypt]

tap on this for unlocking past lv100

[sinful relic]

oh!

thank you

[hot aspen]

Well, Im only stage 1 strong and I need 90-ish runs to get from 0 to 2k

[whole crypt]

when did you start, shouldn't take too much to do at least stage2-5

[gilded carbon]

What is a good Combination of Sardagena-Vanguards for exp-farming? Napoli and Cunniberti?

[sinful relic]

i got sandalphon to level 10 is this good for tohka instead of leveling a main weapon for her?

[whole crypt]

any ships you have that fit the requirements

[whole crypt]

that's for her augment, it's not the same slot as her guns

[sinful relic]

i meant coin wise.

apologies

[whole crypt]

I mean you already spent the coins it's not like you can get them back for something else
her augment is quite substantial and you're probably still using rather mid guns anyway

[sinful relic]

yeah its pretty much between these

[whole crypt]

enhance the gold one as much as you can

[sinful relic]

got it

i got it to 7+ is that any decent?

[gilded carbon]

Would be These three, currently lvling them

[whole crypt]

it's probably better than anything else you can get on short notice, +10 is fine when you have the coins/plates to spare

[sinful relic]

im a tad poor after MLB kurumi

[whole crypt]

can you bump them any higher and LB them, what chapter are you grinding at

just drop Roma and use a proper main fleet

[ocean terrace]

which aux would you say are priorities to get to +10 as a newer player (I've got white shell and black shells to +10)

[obtuse shadow]

@muted wind

[whole crypt]

toolkits and rudders

[muted wind]

i did say "start a thread"

[obtuse shadow]

I'm sorry, I'm quite new to this

[sinful relic]

also i think i asked this before but thought i solved it, but is there any way to get ethese without hard mode? i got all the golds and such but ran out of these, i need 2 more to retrofit unicorn

[warm wigeon]

Guys is there any code for gems??

[obtuse shadow]

What good ships do I have?

[whole crypt]

hard mode is the main source, you'll just have to wait for it

if you have enough spare blue ones you can craft them up to purple

[sinful relic]

noted, is X-3 the main source for purples? or do i just gamble with X-4

[whole crypt]

-3 is BB prints, -4 is carrier prints, you need to do -4

the tier/amount doesn't change within chapter

[sinful relic]

noted, i did 5-4 since its the highest one ava, and i had all the golds, so i was repeating it and i kept getting more golds instead of anything below.

[whole crypt]

that's mostly RNG
thing is if you have enough spare blues you can craft up for purple but golds are drop only

so having a handful more golds drop is useful

[sinful relic]

ahh, i have no blues, i used them all up for all the other parts for retrofitting unicorn

[whole crypt]

just give it a couple more days

[sinful relic]

noted noted, thank you

[whole crypt]

prints also come from stuff like login stamp and occasionally event missions but the amount is small and not consistent

just keep doing hard mode daily

you can also check guild shop, since you get 4 rotations each week and the currency is rather disposable

[sinful relic]

anything from here should i buy? ill be doing a few more runs so im kinda just waiting, but anything here?

[whole crypt]

these first since they won't be coming back

[sinful relic]

what should i use those two on?

[whole crypt]

spare points maybe cog chips or cog arrays

crystal is a decent EVA aux, especially since you'll be short of good ones at this point
onigiri is pretty much just a mid HP aug

but since it's limited why miss it

[sinful relic]

got it, thank you for the help and advice

[scenic mesa]

Hey guys what carrier is good to paiR for Soyuz+Nakhimov fleet?

[earnest sluice]

Guys

Is there any code for gems?? I need for gacha

[ocean terrace]

is onigiri worse than a purple toolkit?

[west steeple]

Do I buy this first with protocore?

[whole crypt]

it's less HP and the regen is worse than a normal toolkit

[whole crypt]

no

[whole crypt]

it's one of the first recommendations for proto shop, you'll need to buy prints across 2 months to have enough for 1 copy

[violet grail]

Just go in order from top to bottom. So, yes to your initial question.

[west steeple]

ok thanks for the list

I didn't knew combat exp can be used for protocores, thankfully I haven't used any of them

[rain bobcat]

just do +6 if ur broke

you don't wanna +10 most stuff a newbie gets outside like toolkits if ur really struggling with coins

[sinful relic]

im currently grinding the event abit more, im missing one more kurumi and then i get MLB her. and then ill grind chapter 9 since i just unlocked it.

would 9-4 be good for coin grinding?

[rain bobcat]

general rule of thumb

push until its legit unclearable unless you really need to farm for say an mlb

[whole crypt]

gold eugen gun is fine to +10 you won't get a better gun for a good while

the best way is to just check gear guide to see what you'll be using for a good while

[rain bobcat]

I would say when ur level gets about equal to or less than the enemy it might be a bit hard to fully clear and that's when you should farm a little before pushing again

but if ur fleet is good they could also easily bridge a slight level gap

[sinful relic]

noted

[noble loom]

Do you only get the 300 coupon if you buy a "limited skin" for full price or is it buying any skin full price. For example I want to buy lemalin bunny, elbe valentine, and chocolate mercuria. if I use the free 180 on le malin will I get a 300 when I buy elbe for full price?

[rain bobcat]

have to buy a rerunning skin specifically at full price

also the 300 coupon is also only for rerunning skills exclusively

[noble loom]

so it would have to be one of the ones that have the 1 days left? you are sure about that cuz the coupon says it only works on bf skins but works not on them

[rain bobcat]

it won't apply if you try to buy a normal skin, only the 180 coupon works for that

[main patrol]

what fleet for jintsuu meta?

[rain bobcat]

actually not completely sure about the coupon part since its been 3 weeks since I bought the skins but im pretty sure only 180 applies for perma skins

[rain bobcat]

wdym

[noble loom]

Because what you are saying makes sense, but at the same time the 180 also says it only applies to "bf skins" but it applies to everything

thats why im confused

[rain bobcat]

oh

maybe 180 doesn't then

but anyway the 180 is pretty useless if you plan to buy an even amount of skins

[noble loom]

no 180 DOES work on normal skins despite saying it doesnt

thats why im wondering if the 300 also does

and if you get it by buying non rerun skins

[rain bobcat]

the answer is "probably no" and "definitely no" to both ur questions

[noble loom]

I wish it was more clear, cuz did you test it or are you assuming? I assumed the 180 wouldnt work till I looked at lemalins bunny and it let me use it, and elbes skin and it let me use it, but it DIDNT work on some

it seems so random thats why I wanted confirmation

[onyx flame]

180 works on some perma skins and some event skins its kinda funky

[noble loom]

but you have to buy a limited skin (x days left) for a 300 coupon?

full price obviously

[onyx flame]

300 is definitely limited to the black friday ones yea

[noble loom]

guess Ill just get one skin then, I was planning to do the 180 discount, buy another full price, then the 300 but that wont work then

[rain bobcat]

ok, 300 DOES NOT apply to perma ships

[boreal wagon]

the 180 one works on about 800 skins more than the 300 one
so that probably answers your question

[noble loom]

okay so even if I DID get the coupon it would barely work on any skins

[rain bobcat]

it would only work on black friday skins yes

[boreal wagon]

it still works on like 200+ skins but yes

[noble loom]

and I cant get the coupon the way I was planning before #gameplay-help message

[rain bobcat]

left is a rerun skin, right is perma

[noble loom]

okay thank you for testing it for me

[boreal wagon]

the issue with how coupons work in this game is that they just have a large list of skins that they apply to

[rain bobcat]

had to pull up my lexington server

[boreal wagon]

so even if it works on one rerun skin and one perma skin that doesnt mean it works on ALL of them

[rain bobcat]

didn't wanna spend on a useless skin on sandy server

[noble loom]

Im only so specific about testing in this game cuz of how broken it is sometimes

[boreal wagon]

the 180 is the biggest proof of that because it doesnt even work on some of the black friday reruns

[noble loom]

do you have a list lars?

[boreal wagon]

i have a list of skin ids which isnt going to help you lol

[noble loom]

the mine failed me its all server side which makes sense

[rain bobcat]

you dont wanna be using the 180 coupon unless

1. you plan on buying an odd amount of skins
2. you plan on buying a perma skin

[boreal wagon]

nor does it tell you what skins count for actually obtaining a coupon when u buy at full price cuz the server decides that

[noble loom]

what a broken system classic

all the skins I want are perma so ill just pick one I suppose for the 180 then wait till next bf I guess

[rain bobcat]

just saying btw, all BFs are different

[noble loom]

Ive been here for years I know

[rain bobcat]

this is by far the fattest black friday but who knows what's next

if you really want the skin just buy it, but if you want to wait a year sure

[onyx flame]

cant believe they changed bf and removed the free 1k spec cores mah ddg

[boreal wagon]

i mean it wasnt exactly a surprise theyd change it

[noble loom]

I mean ive waited like 7 years I can wait one more

[rain bobcat]

saving $5 whole every other skin is massive lol

[boreal wagon]

every single black friday has been different in one way or another

[noble loom]

I think the small coupons will be standard now, it gets even people like me who have never bought any skins (other than for hammann) to buy some

I guess I COULD buy hammanns racequeen to get the 300 coupon cuz I dont have it but who knows what I would be able to use it on

[boreal wagon]

its also been standard that we get special goodies for buying 6 skins which always included a promise ring
and we dont have that this year

[rain bobcat]

most black friday skins you would be able to use it on

[boreal wagon]

things can wildly change

[rain bobcat]

we technically have a mega low cost promise ring

[boreal wagon]

yeah but you get my point

[rain bobcat]

via the shit bundle

[boreal wagon]

yeah but the bundle isnt even related to BF technically

[rain bobcat]

they removed the 6 skin for ring to get clout for the bundle but the bundle is so dogshit LMAO

[noble loom]

next time you open lexington can you check if lemalin Listless Lapin, pamiats Mercurial Chocolate Love, or elbes Pure-Hearted Bad Girl interact with the 300 coupon? its cope but if u can thatd be nice

dont have to do it rn just whenever is convenient just ping me

none are bf skins so I doubt it but like lars was saying it works randomly on 200 skins some not bf

~~I guess most people arent cheap like me and dont care about the small coupons ~~

[rain bobcat]

no no and no

[noble loom]

thank you for checking

[rain bobcat]

nws

[rain bobcat]

because I have too many skins and do gods work with skin tutorials day 1 of updates

[noble loom]

doing gods work though, cuz half the skins are like CLICK THIS RANDOM PIXEL

[rain bobcat]

I bought around 8 skins during black friday to make up a couple skins I missed

[ocean terrace]

should I disassemble these

[noble loom]

yes

[rain bobcat]

no use for them so yeah

[boreal wagon]

-# every time i see those cranes im reminded of how stupid repair ships work internally making all 3 cranes not even work if your repair ship is LB2

[noble loom]

hestia kinda works at least

[rain bobcat]

the one that pissed me off recently was pearl

the shooting mechanic pissed me off

[noble loom]

I forgot to rent it so I didnt experience it

[rain bobcat]

pixel aiming spot that took me half an hour to figure out where to put the crosshair

[hot aspen]

Please tell me that i don't need 5 hours for this to be happy

[boreal wagon]

i more so meant that because repair ships have inherent healing built in and because that uses the same skills as the cranes and those cranes dont stack and only the highest effect applies it means that:
at lb0 blue crane is useless (which is why its unobtainable)
at lb1 blue and purple
at lb2 all 3
at mlb all work because the special mlb version stacks

[rain bobcat]

not to mention the horrible control needed

[rain bobcat]

wdym

[boreal wagon]

not that cranes are remotely even ever useful but this is a fun tidbit adventure i had with repair ships

[hot aspen]

Like, How do you improve morale?

[rain bobcat]

20/hr default
40/hr first floor dorm
50/hr 2nd floor dorm

[noble loom]

I have 2 leveled cranes that I leveled up super early so I just throw them on as a toolkit for the repair ships basically I know their skill is useless though

[hot aspen]

Oh, that was quick

[boreal wagon]

-# (the skill doesnt do what it says anyway)

[noble loom]

classic

[covert sierra]

Anyone worth taking here?

[onyx flame]

only for faction tech

[boreal wagon]

well ig technically it kind of does but its very misleading cuz how its worded youd assume the equipper heals but it just heals the most dmged ship in the fleet

[covert sierra]

Oh the other one is CL for the 3rd time

[rain bobcat]

-# make newbies start on sandy since BB CL this month

-# totally not because I also want to feed more ppl into my server for the next raid

[noble loom]

you mean washington

[rain bobcat]

nah washington is already a lost cause behind

avrora=sandy>wash>=amagi>lexi in terms of veteran population i think based on this event

[noble loom]

I hope we get a pc client someday and they do a big server combination using the yostar login thing but thats GIGA COPE

[rain bobcat]

sandy got very close to avrora but got cooked by slackers on the final stretch

was equal up until hours before the clear

[rain bobcat]

pc client would probably be a steam thing but giga cope atp unless game reaches >50 gb

[scarlet cosmos]

At what point should I stop rolling for Tohka? 😭 i have spent 300+ cubes and am coping atp

[rain bobcat]

feel the pain

you never stop rolling if you really want her

collab might not rerun, UR will unless you fall to fomo

[scarlet cosmos]

Is the wise decision to stop and save for UR event

[rain bobcat]

either way is wise

you either guranteee superiority in collab unit or not fall into fomo if you save for UR

[scarlet cosmos]

I heard tohka is very good too

[rain bobcat]

good upto ch15

[scarlet cosmos]

Time to pull from my mail box

[rain bobcat]

she's tanky enough to not die for 15-4 full lethal full clear

[hot aspen]

Damn, This Morale thing is annoying.

[pine whale]

What do the various abbreviations on Azur Lane mean. Like AA, BB, not to mention those stats like FP (I think?)

[rain bobcat]

all of those values are 10 higher than reality lol

[ocean terrace]

are the event skins only up until the next daily reset?

[pine whale]

Ah yes. THIS QUESTION TOO I HAVE TO RUSH WITH PURCHASES

[hot aspen]

So, Is there another way to getting more morale??

[rain bobcat]

up for uhhhhhhhh, 56hrs

[ocean terrace]

they're based on game-terms and naval terms, you just have to learn them
(BB = battleship, AA = anti-air, FP = firepower)

[rain bobcat]

no

[pine whale]

Spending gems for the third slot then handling meticulously the Dorm and your own time

Beyond that, NO. Better now than ever. RUN

[rain bobcat]

its currently 4hrs past tuesday reset. the collab will be gone exactly on thursday reset

[ocean terrace]

so until the end of 12/3

that Tohka skin is tempting.

[rain bobcat]

server time yes

[forest palm]

oh fun popularity poll is back I forgot about it

there's like 43 hours 30 minutes left before the event goes away btw

[ocean terrace]

how do I tell if a skin is limited-time or permanent?

[rain bobcat]

everything in popular is perma except for the cruise pass skin preview

[ocean terrace]

what if I'm looking at it via the character in dock?

[rain bobcat]

have to either:
know what event is what
ask here
check wiki/database

[ocean terrace]

mmmm okay ty

different depending on client too, huh

[rain bobcat]

also I don't think anyone knows why some shinano event skins still aren't perma like drake

it's just,not perma

[hot aspen]

So, It isn't hard to get a Super Rare???

[rain bobcat]

getting one, no. getting the one you want maybe

[hot aspen]

Damn, I think you might have jinx me

I just need the twin now and I probably won't be getting them now.

[forest palm]

you get the twins for free...

[muted wind]

the twins are in the event shop for 8k points

[rain bobcat]

-# be that one "veteran" who used all 1000 of his cubes chasinig a yamai twin drop from gacha for no reason when he cleared banner in 120 cubes

[forest palm]

the ships that are in the event shop have a less than 1% drop rate when they're on rate up

[boreal wagon]

i think you mean the right thing, but they have a less than 1% because they aren't on rate up

[muted wind]

... admittedly, 0.5% is higher than any other off-rate SSR in the pool... so... i guess it's still technically a rate up?

[forest palm]

they are visually shown, so to the average person....

[wind hazel]

rate deez up

[rain bobcat]

do you want a fun fact about my account

[boreal terrace]

um.. guys, how do I get the last augment? I already cleared stage 6 and all event mission is cleared?

[rain bobcat]

almost all UR banners I've gotten the 0.5 over the 1.2 UR

[wind hazel]

check mail

[forest palm]

btw next week CTA with UR event landing on the 18th

[rain bobcat]

yeah i booked it as that as well

prob stream sometime next week

[forest palm]

it's in the JP notes

[wind hazel]

cheeky not wrong

[past bear]

Is the livestream on the 15th CN or JP

[forest palm]

JP

[rain bobcat]

I assume JP like always

dec stream is almost always jp

[boreal terrace]

I only got this one in mail

[muted wind]

... wasn't it a bilibili link for the stream?

[rain bobcat]

that was some celebration thing im pretty sure

[ocean terrace]

so where can I watch it?

[muted wind]

oh, i see. two different things.

[wind hazel]

then idk. you sure you participated in sector 6 before it went 0%? or there isn't any other mission for you if you missed it?

[rain bobcat]

youtube on jp AL channel next next week

[ocean terrace]

wasn't it an 18k event points thing if you missed out on participation

[wind hazel]

idk

[muted wind]

it should be

[boreal terrace]

whoops... nvm it just arrived, I cleared everything a few days ago, thanks

[forest palm]

when in doubt reset it first

[muted wind]

okay that mail timing is weird as hell

[boreal terrace]

yea, it just arrived

[forest palm]

this event has been finicky with those rewards

[wind hazel]

intern saw my "check mail" message and quickly send it to him

[muted wind]

random question, do we have any clue if the gear skin drop chances from event stages are the same for all or different?

[desert epoch]

Question, are the Date A Live units any good? Also I just came back, is it possible to grind for all of them?

I'm just missing Kotori here

[muted wind]

they're all definitely good for new players, but whether they are useful for you depends on your account. kotori is only in the gacha.

[rain bobcat]

the vanguards atleast are crazy good

[past bear]

Here is my loot after doing this much farming. Do the math

[rain bobcat]

[muted wind]

uh, i was essentially wondering if stage 1 and 6 had the same drop chances because i am just missing a few still and figured i could low cost it if the chances were the same

[tulip tinsel]

should be the same iirc

[desert epoch]

I wonder if my acc can be called "new" tbh, but I definite am no better than a new player lmao

[wind hazel]

how do you know

[rain bobcat]

he's just the goat

[muted wind]

imma be real, someone guessing is better than no answer at all

[rain bobcat]

but yeah im also on the idea that it's same

[muted wind]

i'll try tomorrow if i don't get it from the boxes in the shop until then

[rain bobcat]

I got everything before 50k lmao luckiest event ever

[past bear]

In my observations, gear skin drops 1/10 runs

[muted wind]

... hm. 18 gear skins in the pool, i need 1 of those... 180 runs average to get what i need. oh no.

[past bear]

Thats the minimum run you need, you be the luckiest if it only took you that much runs

[muted wind]

i mean, minimum is 1, technically

[onyx flame]

im still scrounging for the last 3 skins

[past bear]

Wellif you wanna get all 18 kinds of gear skins

[muted wind]

well, i got all but 1

[forest palm]

I forget gear skins exist

[past bear]

We still have like less than 2 days. More time to farm

[forest palm]

43 hrs to be exact

[south shard]

Are some of the Collab ships good?

[tropic tusk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOxSGxxBx4g

[robust onyx]

3 of them are around the top grade for Gold rarity

The 3 are the Vanguard

[hot aspen]

So, what does affection do??

[tropic tusk]

get to 100 so u can put a ring on them , which gives u roughly +3% more stats

[muted wind]

you get +6% just for being at 100 affinity, don't bother with rings for stats

[pine whale]

1. Tohka/Origami (mediocre until mid-late, upon which they wreak havoc, on top of being even more expensive than the one below, BUT split OPSI/Events in half)
2. Kurumi (needs help for mid-late, kinda slow, carries heavily beginning)
   Everyone else I don't know

[tropic tusk]

ring is a must ... for love

[pine whale]

Affection affects only the ring that I know. Morale on the other hand is your everything. You only have one ring. It's your marriage. No polygamy

[tropic tusk]

after giving ring ur affaction can get up to 200

[hot aspen]

Okay, How do I see what level their morale is?

[pine whale]

Formation or Dorm

[tropic tusk]

at dome also sees it

[knotty jolt]

You can see it in your dock if you sort by morale

[ivory pawn]

You can tell it’s low by the orange smiley as well.

[tropic tusk]

if that orange smile turns red means u will only get like 20% exp?

[pine whale]

Thanks.

[south shard]

Basically all the girls are at best Above average on gold tier

[pine whale]

If you tank morale, I assure you you're losing more than that

[knotty jolt]

Only red effects XP negatively

[tropic tusk]

my moral never runs out

[knotty jolt]

Orange is just a warning you're heading there

[hot aspen]

Well, game basically saying, "Stop playing" at this point

[pine whale]

Depends on how hard you push the shipgirls in short time

PUT THAT SHITE IN THE DORM

[warm latch]

that is in the dorm

[tulip tinsel]

if you filter it in dock you can see every ship's morale

[pine whale]

ah.

[red sapphire]

Is it worth to build the mob fleet Vanguard arround Independence augment effect?

[ivory pawn]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Affinity (and morale)

[tropic tusk]

#1394281968417509456 message take a look at this

my moral never goes short

[pine whale]

Ah yes. I forgot to ask. Fucc

• What are augments? How do I equip?
• How many augments?
• How it works for event ships?
• Anything from the event shop I should eye? (I have one Onigiri, one Sephira and one Yamai)

[wind hazel]

depends, not that hard to use almost full EU fleet

[knotty jolt]

Augments are stuff for ships some have unique ones, their skills only proc at +10, the ship need max limit break to equip one excluding PR ships and for shop oil and coins with the rest at your discretion

[pine whale]

Regardless, if you're on a rush in the event, and can't do 6 (like me), spam 2: it has Section-NPC Tohka and your Kurumi spamming stuff

[south shard]

How good are the backlines?

[ivory pawn]

There’s a shop prio in the pinned datamine, it’s basically the same thing every shop.

[pine whale]

Wrong screen. You need Formation. The one on the screen is Dock

[knotty jolt]

Usable

[south shard]

Oh I was talking about the Collab backlines

[pine whale]

Ah, they're called backlines

[tropic tusk]

do u have her aux?

[south shard]

Thanks

[south shard]

Lemme check

[pine whale]

My bad then. I'll go back to farming. Thanks for help

[red sapphire]

Hmm I'm thinking about using Essex as flagship so 3 USS vanguard would make a lot of sense actually

[wind hazel]

why do you want cv to flag

[south shard]

Not sure which

[knotty jolt]

I mean if it's Guam laffey2 and sandy ye that'd work but what's with Essex flag

[balmy skiff]

how good are the DaL ships compared to Gridman and Ryza?

[red sapphire]

Honestly, I have no idea what to use. I'm choosing between Lion Musashi and Essex

[tropic tusk]

aux is the last 2 item slot

[tulip tinsel]

in gear tab the one with circle are augs, unlocks at mlb or for UR's it unlocks on 0lb, some have unique ones which can be crafted which just boosts ship stat, for this event you get everyone's for free, if you have them mlb you can equip it, for ships that don't have unique aug you can craft 2 and choose from them

[south shard]

Oh... My mind was busy thinking bout payments, I mistook aux as Aug hahaha

[wind hazel]

campaign right?

[red sapphire]

Yep

[south shard]

Here?

Wrong pic, it didn't load

[tropic tusk]

thats the same photo lol

[wind hazel]

you can do something like musashi unicorn indep anchorage helena/sandiego/sanfran/any other good EU ship

[tropic tusk]

sameone slacked on event

[red sapphire]

Okay, thanks. Perseus is also good? Instead than Unicord in this case?

[wind hazel]

worse

[red sapphire]

Alright, Unicorn then. Thanks

[wind hazel]

you dont need to force it to be 3 EU, if you have every ship in the game then full EU is easy and great, but don't force it if you don't have the good ones

[crude basin]

is there a priority for research academy catch up

[wind hazel]

anchorage agir shimanto or fdg, depends on your dock really

[south shard]

Wha?

Oh for formation rating, it's threads right?

[tropic tusk]

im just kidding
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p50hpGY-cI

[late flame]

-# ngl for a moment i thought it was something up something

[red sapphire]

Okay. For now I have Ancho and Helena. Sandy is still low level so I gues the 3rd one can be Kurumi

Or do I need strong AA?

[south shard]

My fleet formation

[wind hazel]

you'll need AA if you're at w13 15

the rest it's fine with those 3

[red sapphire]

Hmm then Traffy instead than Kurumi can do?

[wind hazel]

i'd kick helena

[red sapphire]

So, Ancho - Traffy - Kurumi?

[wind hazel]

or move kurumi to mob

[red sapphire]

This is for mob

[wind hazel]

or this is already mob

then move helena to boss. helena doesn't belong in mob

[rain bobcat]

-# helena doesn't belong anywhere in ch15

[red sapphire]

Boss has Kazagumo and Sirius because I can't sync with Helena yet

[next escarp]

Nachi good?

[rain bobcat]

this is for ch15 right

[wind hazel]

no

[next escarp]

Aight, won't retro then

[rain bobcat]

if it's for ch15, you are massively underestimating how much yo ucan get away with on ch15 lethal not max tech

[wind hazel]

i meant no this isn't for w15

[rain bobcat]

oh

[red sapphire]

I want to push from ch12 so I'm not looking for strict ch15 right now

[wind hazel]

but nachi isn't good too no to her as well

[late flame]

not even retrofitted smh

[red sapphire]

Buf if you want to give me tips about ch15 sure, I will appreciate

[wind hazel]

i'd rather have helena there tbh

helena for boss is still ok up to w13

[next escarp]

Saratoga?

[red sapphire]

Okay, for Sirius, right?

[tropic tusk]

she good

[wind hazel]

decent, but your gear for her is bad

[violet grail]

Are you saying that cause you have SG radar on helena?

[next escarp]

Will retro then, thanks

[red sapphire]

No, if I give that to her bye bye CVs

[wind hazel]

for kaza lol

[next escarp]

I just slapped in gears for space

[crude basin]

this is my dock atm

[red sapphire]

Oh alright, thanks

[wind hazel]

tbh i wouldnt use sirius either

[wind hazel]

what

oh right, research catch up

do anchorage catchup, then agir

[crude basin]

thank you mori

[south shard]

What y'all think of my current status as W13-3 (not doing it at the moment due to constant events)

[forest palm]

[zenith heron]

[south shard]

[knotty jolt]

[tropic tusk]

[ocean terrace]

[onyx flame]

[cobalt rampart]

lot of text incoming sorry..

recently started playing, commander lvl 44, read tons of guides. feel like I'm sort of lost on what comps for my fleet(s) as I get more units. should I just stick with unicorn/hood/pennsyl vania/javelin/sirius/helena until later worlds?

also is there a "best" way to lvl up ships at this low lvl? ive been mostly using snacks on ships that are high up on the community tier list

also not sure when to use my gold bullins, or if theyre worth using on hood/sirius. and if i should save destroyer retrofit mats for someone other than javelin?

in about 20 hrs ill have Roon in shipyard researched, excluding the combat xp. should I focus on that maybe?

[zenith heron]

Your ships can handle w13 just fine, but if you want to ask for fleet building help, you can ask the experts here,

Aside from other remarks, that Traf not mlb is an eyesore, well won't blame you if you don't have extra UR Bulins or saving for the UR this December

[south shard]

I can buy 4

[zenith heron]

For now, I think its best to wait for the new UR this December, assuming you have more than 4 UR Bulins to conserve for

[ivory pawn]

For starters, drop Sirus for Portland, and use those dupes to get Portland to MLB. Keep Penn for now as you raise Hood, but she’ll be next to go. Maybe stick Saratoga in the dorm while you’re not actively playing to prep for being a replacement.
After that don’t worry about fleets until you’ve cleared w9. Focus your hard mode attempts on x-4 worlds to get Unicorn retrofitted asap.
Use gold bulins on Hood. Once the ships in your fleet are level 100 they’ll start generating xp books for your lower level ships.

[onyx flame]

Jp patch notes mention a mini story event being run after next maint is it a rerun or a new one cause i cant find nothing on it (that or my searching skills are extra ass)

[barren cedar]

im only missing her from the event, should i keep pulling to fully complete my fleet 2?

[heavy zealot]

Hmm

[ivory pawn]

She’s basically for collection, up to you if you keep trying to get her or not.

[heavy zealot]

Implacable? Musashi? Or do i just save

[ivory pawn]

Don’t buy UR bulins unless you’re gonna use ‘em immediately. I vote save.

[onyx flame]

hold till we see what dec ur is

[barren cedar]

Hmmm. Is that team able to do hard content like late story or am I wasting resources?

[onyx flame]

the vanguards technically can be used for chp 15 campaign (they just dont got good AA) and stuff but the backliners not so much

[rain bobcat]

backline is above average, vanguard is near the top of SR

[ocean terrace]

what's the priority for gear parts in general?
or is it whichever I need most at the moment

[onyx flame]

planes or main gun

[tulip tinsel]

main gun/plane then others

[ocean terrace]

alright ty

[rain bobcat]

if ur doing pr8 better to start stocking up on main gun

[ocean terrace]

also if I retreat a fleet during a stage but finish it with another fleet, are there any downsides?

[wind hazel]

you lose the crossfleet, if any

[rain bobcat]

you lose acv values if the retreated fleet had cvs

[ocean terrace]

not that bad then, ty

[wind hazel]

just dont retreat

[ocean terrace]

I didn't realise one of my ships were like 10% hp so I had to pull them out, finished off the rest with my boss fleet though so

[whole lichen]

For my tank should I keep using my Marseillaise (90+) or get a lvl 1 port and upgrade it to fit my team level and also retrofit it

[knotty jolt]

depends on what your other ships look like

Send screenshot of dock sorted by vanguard

[knotty jolt]

Wouldn't be a bad choice, compared to your other options like tohka or kurmi she'd be a hell of a lot cheaper to get to a usuable point

[whole lichen]

So I should invest to portland too

[hollow gust]

I won't

Especially when you have two massive upgrades in Tohka and Kurumi already there. 0 reason to start from scratch Portland

[undone plover]

I would just use kurumi
Isnt she the best here?

[whole lichen]

hmm

[knotty jolt]

do they got the stuff atm tho

[undone plover]

The stuff

[knotty jolt]

considering marseilles isn't at max limit break i thnk they're out on gold bulin

[whole lichen]

I'm just saving money

[knotty jolt]

well that answers my previous statement

[hollow gust]

Instead of wasting your time upgrading Portland spend that time on Tohka and finishing Kurumi.

[knotty jolt]

why haven't you maxed out kurumi if you got two extra dupes

[whole lichen]

I'm broke

[undone plover]

U even have 2 dupes
Use the dupes to mlb her when u get coins and use her instead of Marseillaise

[hollow gust]

You should also mlb that Marsillese considering she is leveled capped rn

[knotty jolt]

Relatable

[whole lichen]

mmhm alr

Hmm so is it better to use Marse or Kurumi

[undone plover]

Assuming u dont need the gold bulins for backliners

[hollow gust]

You can use both at the same time

Mars isn't a tank, but she is still a decent damage CL

[whole lichen]

So I replace Helena with Mars then?

[hollow gust]

Tohka Mar Kurumi

[undone plover]

Also mlb your bama

[hollow gust]

Anything lvl90 should be focused on, all that exp is going to waste

[whole lichen]

Alr I'll mlb Alabama too

What do I do with Hiryuu tho? Get her retrofit or just try to get one in to replace her

[knotty jolt]

Personally I would be using saratoga, but that's just me

[undone plover]

Can keep her and retro her
She is still decent in pvp I think
And u dont have many amazing CV anyway

[whole lichen]

hm

[undone plover]

But up to you
Sara is better for pve
So is strasser iirc
But u will need to upgrade em from scratch

[whole lichen]

I'll consider Sara once I hit world 9

[halcyon nymph]

@lyric ember @muted wind wow. After sorting out my ship girls gears, they are clearing stages faster. Thanks again.

[whole lichen]

Also just want to ask if I'm stuck cant progress to the next campaign how do I level up fast

[boreal merlin]

Building Sara, Uni, and Warspoot early/mid is pretty good investment since they'll still be relevant on harder content.

[whole lichen]

Unicorn?

[boreal merlin]

yes

uni retro, sara retro and war retro are pretty nice

[muted wind]

i'd argue warspite it too expensive of an investment to bother with early on, and replaceable later

[knotty jolt]

kotori would likely be a cheaper just as effective option to warspite

[halcyon nymph]

How about Sandy? Is she fine to invest early? I just realised now, Sandy = San Diego.

[muted wind]

yeah, but skip the retro, just get the augment

[boreal merlin]

dude she is the best aa

[knotty jolt]

you won't be needing her early on

[halcyon nymph]

Noted. Her augment is placed highly on the tier list.

[hollow gust]

Which you don't need for 95% of the game

[halcyon nymph]

I'll prepare her on my stage 12. I'm still on 10.

[knotty jolt]

ye working on her now would be a good plan for w13 pushing

[whole lichen]

Should I grind campaign or polaris map for lvl

[hollow gust]

Sandy is more for w14/15, you do not need her at all for early mid game

[boreal merlin]

yea but i was just stating that she's the best aa

[onyx flame]

are you on the oil cap part of campaign? aka cp 9 +? if no then polarism if yes campaign

[halcyon nymph]

For the Merit Shop, should I buy gold bulin or wait for a good 20k unit?

[knotty jolt]

only good unit iirc is eldridge and she needs her retrofit

[onyx flame]

you can also use it to secure faction tech

but yea only good ship is eldridge but you need to have her retro item

[halcyon nymph]

I see. Guess I'll just keep the currency for now. Thank you!

[boreal merlin]

her retro item is also glued to a minor event

[analog tendon]

I got one copy each of the White Shell, Black Shell and Independence from the Core shop. Is there something else specific i should buy from that shop?

[jolly condor]

can some send the gear sheet please

[jolly condor]

not really just keep buying the black and white shells for your bb and bc’s

[sharp seal]

At which Campaign chapter level would you recommend getting a separate mob and boss fleet?

[jolly condor]

12 or 13 but it’s much more necessary in w13

[sharp seal]

Ah okay, thank u!

Oh also, how does auto combat work for both fleets? does it somehow automatically choose the boss fleet during the boss node?
Or do we have to do that manually

[sharp seal]

Oh interesting.. Thanks Hen

[jolly condor]

no problem

[ivory pawn]

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

[jolly condor]

thank you

[red sapphire]

Depending of what do you have. There are other items aside shells and Independence that can be worth to buy (Bréguet or Beacon for example). Take this picture as a reference but feel free to ask here when you are going to buy your next item

[true lichen]

Are meta ships any good compared to sr?

[onyx flame]

only sr meta ships are worth talking about, purple are just collection

but they are also mostly kinda meh

[true lichen]

Fair enough

[weary edge]

what’s with the upcoming maintenance, is that just like, a small short maintenance

[analog tendon]

That's exactly what i was using as reference. I am not sure what to buy next. Breguet could be useful, but i just need 4 more UR Design to be able to craft Wyvern. Maybe the Snorkel for when i'll gear up my submarines or a 2nd White Shell?

[red sapphire]

Submarines are far from a priority, a second white shell is more usefull by far

You probably get Wyvern this month. Take bréguet if you have an other ship that will make use of it

[cobalt robin]

you should get 3 white shells, 2 black shells, independance if youre lacking good cvs, baguettes for your campaign cvs (unless you have enough wyverns for all of them)

[weary edge]

hi witch tenebria do u know what the maintenance is for on thursday, will it be a full 8 hr maintenance or a short one

[analog tendon]

the "baguettes" threw me for a loop for a split second XD

[red sapphire]

No idea, but they will tell us before it starts... sorry

[peak fable]

on a sidenote, should you get baguettes from shop or from lab

[cobalt robin]

my phone auto corrects it so i just leave it lmao

[weary edge]

if ur in the earlier stages of the game id say shop

[red sapphire]

Better from core, according to suchi gear lab guide
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab

[haughty skiff]

DAL event ending, popularity poll and a new mini-event

[peak fable]

trust in suchigoat

[weary edge]

ty, also hi 😛👋

[ivory sigil]

errrr is the shop priority saying right if we could just use 2 SR bulin instead of buy Copies of the limitgirl for mlb?

since i realize buying all blueprint it only enough for me to buy 2 girls

if the chip is also prior, i would love to spend 6200 oil today and tmr for the event for 10k pts (which give me 2 extra rainbowbook) and hopefully able to get it

[red sapphire]

Yes, you can use gold bulins for the shop ship

[cobalt robin]

you should get the twins once and then the other mats, if you have leftover currency you can spend it however you want

[turbid marsh]

ah yes cog chips

[cobalt robin]

chips

[ivory sigil]

it's a yes for someone who has many, not one who has none any...

[onyx flame]

more like arrays

[ivory sigil]

oh so no chip but array only?

[onyx flame]

i got both idk for you

[onyx flame]

prio list is here anyway

[cobalt robin]

later on youre more cucked by chips since youre getting way more ships to 120 than 125

[onyx flame]

or just get lucky and drop the ship 5 times on s6

[red sapphire]

Me casually checking the inventory

[whole crypt]

arrays are a more immediate concern but in the long run you'll run out of chips while having excess arrays

[cobalt robin]

i got the twins twice from stage and twice from gacha this game hates me

[whole crypt]

or be like me at 100k points but still missing one gear skin

[onyx flame]

sr eats 2.2k chips to get to lvl 120 btw so that enuf for like 18 sr ships

[red sapphire]

That's crazy

[whole crypt]

chips become a problem once you start leveling more ships to 120

when this starts becoming an issue depends on your pace

[onyx flame]

i got twins twice from gacha and like uh 5 times from the map

[cobalt robin]

i always get these low rate units multiple times from gacha yet here i am spending 400 cubes for unzen

[ivory sigil]

yeah i think so, let's try last 10k score... i hope they will drop me RNG yamai

tbh i dont know what to do with the remaining oil either... i been starting AZ at lv1 with DAL event and pour all oil into DAL sector

While other map related to Mainstory does oil costly, i was being level locked at 65, only reach 70 would it unlock me chapter9

and no, the oilcapped in event DAL so i havent touch the SP unison thingy yet.

[onyx flame]

i mean if the event finish and your still not high enuf commander lvl for chp 9 just go to war archive polaris

[cobalt robin]

ew war archive

[ivory sigil]

i will touch them if i bored
cuz i has like over 8chapter of hardmode that havent 3star (i only touch 1map per chaps for the retrofit unicorn)

[cobalt robin]

little tip, you can defeat all mobs and leave the stage and it doesnt consume a hard mode attempt, so you can do that till you have enough mobs and then kill the boss for an ez 3 star

[ivory sigil]

yeah been doing it, but it start to costly on oil and morale, in the end i guess i can just walking by pace on clearing them in future

[onyx flame]

the day parallel superimposition get added we (players after it reran) will all be going in

[cobalt robin]

yorky

[onyx flame]

more like hvar

[ivory sigil]

i would prior the chessboard divergen if i ever need KMS

does polaris drop anything nice??

[whole crypt]

imagine still needing rocket cats by the time that happens

[cobalt robin]

oh yea forgor abt that but yorki cooler

[onyx flame]

no la9 to my name so

[whole crypt]

rocketcats still better than La-9s for light

but BBs better now

[onyx flame]

fair

[cobalt robin]

lion creeps in

[onyx flame]

no lion i just live with mecky

[cobalt robin]

a world without lion is a world not worth living in

[onyx flame]

anyway the new jp event listed in jp patch notes is seems to be a new event?

[turbid marsh]

yeah u missing lots XD

[tulip tinsel]

which UR is going to be in the perma pity next?

[onyx flame]

york2 i think

[weary edge]

i thought it was bzwei

[onyx flame]

zwei is like 2 later

[cobalt robin]

impla please come home

[onyx flame]

no your stuck with avp

[silk helm]

isnt impla powercrept?

[cobalt robin]

by who

[onyx flame]

if you need freeze for cv shes the best choice

[reef flume]

By who?

[onyx flame]

thou i guess bb fleet wipes the floor against cv

[silk helm]

^ ya BB is better no?

[reef flume]

Depends

Imo CVs remain better for heavy armor

[silk helm]

lion meck bz2?

[cobalt robin]

not always but yea

[reef flume]

But again I get better results there with Mecklen-Zwei-Lion

[onyx flame]

pretty sure lion meck zwei wipes the floor against heavy and does better against light/med

[cobalt robin]

its lion doing lion things

[weary edge]

zoinks

[weary edge]

avp 😎😎😎😎

[onyx flame]

aint stopping me from making a mamagi fleet thou

[reef flume]

This reminds me I need to test my dev30 200affinity Mecklenburg vs my 200 affinity Hakuhou to see who does the most damage vs heavy armor assuming no Plymouth or AVI buffs

[cobalt robin]

i think you meant ark royal

[reef flume]

Hakuhou is likely to win maybe (yet with Haku-Amagi-Implac I can't clear Arizona Meta but I can with Mecklen-Zwei-Lion)

[weary edge]

so is meck useable without zwei

or does the extra 5% dmg rly matter that much

[reef flume]

The reason you want her with Zwei is cuz she gets a 15% buff on her FP, AA and TRP and also a 15% self rld buff

• their reload is pretty much the same but with Zwei being slightly higher (169 vs 170), the difference is so minimal that with same guns Zwei will pull the enemies first, then Mecks nukes them soon after

[weary edge]

yeah but isnt that just with any ib mainfleet

ion even got ein bro i finna be waiting like 1.5 years for zwei 😭😭

[dreamy tendon]

i have my first fleet around lvl 120. Im starting to build 2nd fleet. How should I go about leveling them from lvl 1? I have a PR and some UR ships

[weary edge]

use books to get them to like 70 then just farm stages

[onyx flame]

book/dorm then to like 70~90 then run 12-1 or 12-4

[reef flume]

Yes. But in Mecklen's specific case they have more synergy cause of what also Mecklen gets if there is another IB main fleet ship in her fleet
Aka her 15% rld buff

[viscid swift]

only for the first salvo

[weary edge]

but since i dont have zwei would she still be useable without her

[dreamy tendon]

what's usually the stage for a full fleet of lvl 70s? I'm currently at 9-4

[viscid swift]

frankly I'd only run them together going against medium armor

[onyx flame]

welll if 9-4 is the highest your at then run that just give them aight gear + dorm all 6

[reef flume]

My Mecklenburg on heavy armor does twice the damage of my Lion and Zwei combined to the point even the sum of their damage is below her
But probably it's cuz I geared her insanely and cuz there is Plymouth, must test without this

[viscid swift]

you know Lion's end screen damage isn't showing her burn damage right

[ivory sigil]

What if they đie?
Does run them in Unison / Polaris giving equal Exp to them running at chap9-4?

[tulip tinsel]

-10 morale

[onyx flame]

if its safe and they got okay gear, they shouldnt die at 70 at 9-4

[weary edge]

i wish there was a dps checker in the game, like u have a target dummy/dummies that u can change the armour type for and stuff

[tulip tinsel]

and not die, sink 👍

[ivory sigil]

No wonder my portland become portlan't

[onyx flame]

if your worried just slot in 1 carry or bump their level up a bit more

i drag lvl 80 through 12-1

[ivory sigil]

bringing da angel

[gray sphinx]

I always bring either unicorn or Perseus when I grind levels

[onyx flame]

i dont anymore

[viscid swift]

I don't

[gray sphinx]

I do it just for ease of mind but obviously it’s better not to

Otherwise it’s just minus 1 for ship grinding

[viscid swift]

hardly need it for ease of mind, just run cross fleets in your boss fleet

[dreamy tendon]

i shouldnt be using UR ships until mlb right?
i have enough bulins to mlb one rn- not sure if i should use them on unzen, hakuhou, or one of the two from the rookie invitation

[onyx flame]

no cross fleet for jack

[onyx flame]

yes,
consider holding till we see what dec ur but it prob be hakuhou, perma ur should be prio cept maybe musashi

[ivory sigil]

Yeah i guess so

Cuz i literally bring my Yamai lv60 not mlb into Sector6 Hard with boss lv100

[tulip tinsel]

i bring non mlb vang in 12-4 and they survive fine

[ivory sigil]

Wait so even if i had 400 cube for New UR december, it would still had chance to not get her but instead the offrate UR?

[ivory pawn]

No.

[dreamy tendon]

right, and main fleet should have prio over vanguard right?

[ivory pawn]

UR banner pity and UR perma pity are separate pities. UR banners cannot drop other URs.

[onyx flame]

yep we'll have to see what dec ur is but if it eh then you prob mlb hakuhou first prob come ask again when its here

[whole crypt]

more like all non-perm banners cannot drop perm URs

[ivory sigil]

Errr why we need a heavy hitter?

[ivory pawn]

That too, but at least non-UR event banners give perma UR pity.

[ivory sigil]

I had a question, is Yuzikaze Meta somesort of anti BB? She seem dont get hurt much from my Kotori BB
is that related to the light/medium/heavy dmg in the Endgame chart ?

and she moving like a wolf

My unicorn barely hit her any

[robust onyx]

Yuzikaze meta?

[ivory sigil]

Oops

Yudachi meta

[robust onyx]

Why are you using unicorn against a Meta fight anyways

[polar venture]

Do we know what the next event is?

[robust onyx]

The next event should be the new UR event

[tulip tinsel]

more than that, no

[fierce lantern]

How good is yuudachi retrofit

[forest palm]

she's alright, but not really worth the materials

[sweet delta]

Worse than most new gold DDs and CLs like Yuudachi META or all the date a live vanguards

[fierce lantern]

I dodged a bullet thankfully

[sweet delta]

What do you mean

[small quarry]

Hey everyone, I have a question. Kurumi "NPC" update, will it still remain on my account or will it be removed with the update?

[viscid swift]

if you don't get 1k points on her event within the next 36ish she'll be removed

[ivory pawn]

If she has the “NPC” tag, she’s gonna go poof.

[small quarry]

I started on Sunday, it's impossible to get it done, if I forget the items, they get deleted or sent to my dorm.

[sweet delta]

It was possible but difficult. Now if you don't finish it then you wasted the 2 gold bulins on her

[errant jacinth]

what would be the best two teams I can make for operation siren?

[small quarry]

I was already thinking about that, hard to get and easy to lose, gold bulin... life is a merciless drug.

[pine whale]

When they say 1d, does it mean at least 24h?

[ivory pawn]

25-47 hours.

[pine whale]

FORTY SEVEN?!?

Do we have UTC based countdowns here?

[ivory pawn]

If you’re talking about events, actual time left should be around 38 hours iirc.

[pine whale]

I'll end up having a heart attack. Well, honestly, the app takes a lot of space. I need to freeze temporarily event is over. Does this coincide with event shop?

[sweet delta]

Ignore opsi for now besides the easy part of the story and daily missions. You don't have two fleets. Use Kotori Owari Unicorn Kurumi Helena Hatsuzuki in both opsi and campaign, get to level 115 ships before considering opsi seriously

[jolly condor]

fastest way is just to look at the shop and go to top. that’s the time left

[pine whale]

Thank you. Doing it now

[boreal wagon]

event shops stay for an extra week, but during that extra week you cant gain points

[sweet delta]

@errant jacinth

[small quarry]

There's still a lot missing; it's easier to win the lottery than to finish on time. 💀

[brave rover]

err out of these who should i level, im getting xp to unlock Plymouth i was thinking neptune and sirius but who else?

[sweet delta]

I think farming 750 points in 36 hours is easier than buying all lottery combinations

[ocean terrace]

for new players, is it fine to use the mob fleet/boss fleet that you used in campaign for opsi? or are there tweaks to be made

ok ty

[turbid marsh]

yeah use what you have, tweak after you get more ships

[sweet delta]

Aurora

[sweet delta]

What's your dock

[ocean terrace]

also I assume the gear listed here don't craft into anything useful in gear lab right?
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Thebombzen/Safe_To_Scrap_MK_II

[errant jacinth]

I assume opsi stands for operation siren?

[ocean terrace]

if my current mob fleet or boss fleet struggles with either of their roles in opsi, is it also fine to put my best ships together + unicorn and just 1 fleet it?
would it get me far at all?

[small quarry]

Where could I get more points for her mission?

[errant jacinth]

does anyone know if the lvl requirement to start stage 9 in the campaign is 60? or 70?

[ocean terrace]

65

[jolly condor]

just spam the highest story quests you can do

[turbid marsh]

its not like you can just immediately get it 125 after getting a new ship , so there's no rush tweaking too.

[sweet delta]

Event Sector 1, coalition mode, split your ships between 2 fleets. Even try to use fewer ships to save oil. Kurumi must be on the last fleet.
Also check your missions for how to get Zafkiel, Kurumi will be much weaker even if you do manage to finish 1000 points if you do not get Zafkiel

[ocean terrace]

yeah I've only been working on a 2nd fleet for a couple days, and it's fine for Ch10 of campaign (which is what I'm on)
but opsi does seem to be a little harder in general so

[eternal basalt]

Vets totally can

[ocean terrace]

but also a lot of my ships in my now mob fleet are placeholders, either because I don't have better alternatives or for Roon's IB vanguard exp
my boss fleet is stronger overall significantly

[eternal basalt]

You can't get bonuspoints on coalition?

[sweet delta]

It's doable in under 3000 oil, you only need to run Sector 1 with Kurumi in the last fleet 34 times

[jolly condor]

😭34 times??

[sweet delta]

Or you want to tell them to run chapter 3 spending more oil 53 times? And probably not making progress on Kurumi augment?

[jolly condor]

true true

[sweet delta]

Is the augment mission same for everyone?

[small quarry]

Are you talking about putting Kurumi in the sub-fleet, the second team? Is Zakfield a character or an item?

[sweet delta]

I'm saying run coalition mode

[jolly condor]

I don’t even remember how i got her aug, i was just grinding for pr/dr ship xp

[sweet delta]

18k points for Zafkiel yikes

I don't think that's happening

[jolly condor]

you can do it

[boreal wagon]

you very much can

but what suchi was saying is that kurumi has to be in whatever fleet fights the last of the bosses
which is true

[turbid marsh]

But he newbie though… I know I can totally get like 2-3 up immediately but…

[tulip tinsel]

if kurumi is not in last fleet you won't get double. or atleast in s6 it doesn't

[pine whale]

Also, I didn't get anything new from the new event. Idk how many hours left

[pine whale]

Or she explodes. Which is easy (rushing beginner here; needs maxed both skills)

[ocean terrace]

they're a new player no? they can only do solo battles, not coalition

[pine whale]

Yeah, in Solo. Kurumi is RNG on Auto due to her clones. On the one hand, her first skill is the broken one, on the other hand, it's the second one that gives her purpose outside of glorified support

What buy, 8k rn

[ocean terrace]

just check the datamine for event shop priority...

it's in pinned messages

[pine whale]

I got Sephira and Onigiri but idk slang/jargon

[eternal basalt]

Without it you might scrap your Kurumi, she is worthless.

[ocean terrace]

if you have 8000 points, get the cog arrays and augment cores imo, which I saw you didn't get all of

[eternal basalt]

Gear

[ocean terrace]

they got it

[haughty skiff]

big yikes

assuming the newbie does all the event dailies today & tomorrow (roughly 2k points; the wiki isnt updated for the event), it's still a total of 320 coalition hard sector 1 runs

[deft kettle]

is hakuhou used for bossing?

[sweet delta]

She can be used for bossing. She's better at bossing than campaign

[deft kettle]

okie

[ocean terrace]

I'm looking at gear for CLs and I'm a little confused on whether I should be putting DD guns or CL guns for them.
Does this line mean that DD guns > CL guns so CL ships that can equip DD guns should?

[haughty skiff]

if a CL can equip a DD gun, you give them a DD gun

so sandy gets a DD gun instead of a CL gun since she can equip DD

[tulip tinsel]

for faster skill activation(if the ship has such skill)

[ocean terrace]

I see, and that's regardless of how good my DD gun or CL gun is?

because ideally I'd use a good DD gun but I might not have one

[sweet delta]

CL guns have worse DPS and fire rate for AoA than DD guns so a ship needs a truly strong skill preferring CL guns to make good CL gun better than good DD gun

[ocean terrace]

that's unfortunate because DD guns are the ones I have the least of

don't think any of the ones I have are recommended on gear guide

plus the good CL guns seem hard to obtain

[sweet delta]

What ship and DD and cl gun you have

[violet grail]

I use my hakuhou in a lot of places just cause she's my only UR (not counting sandy r and eldridge r) but she definetly shines way more against stuff like arizona meta, guild boss and heavy armour abyssal bosses. In other places she's ok but nothing crazy.

[pine whale]

The most common fleet formation is frontline: double tank on the sides and DPS on the middle; backline: tank vanguard at the center and "backline DPS" and support on the sides. At least from the newbie guide which I got when I joined this server and game

[deft kettle]

👍🏻

[ocean terrace]

a lot of BBs rely on being the flagship due to their barrage, also a lot of main fleet have flagship skills, so I think that's a big factor too

[pine whale]

I just MLB Penn, who to prioritize next between Helena, Kurumi, Unicorn, Laffey, and Long Island?

[ocean terrace]

#1441564631268331721

[jolly condor]

uni

[tulip tinsel]

uni>kurumi>anyone else

[violet grail]

Got any other CVs to replace Long Island? She's gonna be the first one to stop being useful out of those imo.

[pine whale]

1. Uni then Kurumi, got it. Both are at 4 stars, according to what you told me these weeks
2. No, unless I train Origami. From 9. Off commissions

[jolly condor]

I lowkey wanna replace ryu, with the twins or kurumi, I’ve heard that they are better

[violet grail]

What chapter are you on? If eldridge is retro she can protect the frontline quite well, both eldridge and sandy can tank tbh till W12 or 13 I think so you could put a buff/debuff ship like helena kazagumo sirius in that last spot since thats your boss fleet. And if you are further than that you're gonna want some shipyard ships in there probably but I'm not qualified to give advice on W13+ XD.

[tulip tinsel]

it's a retro eld, rainbow frame, skin

[jolly condor]

😭nvm then

[violet grail]

Kurumi can be fun to play with and good damage apparently so why not I guess. I saw sushi post her solo frontlining in W15 though with some proper setup with crossfleets and strong backline XD.

[jolly condor]

i saw some stuff like that too with her and the twins, that’s why i was wondering

[ocean terrace]

why wouldn't Tohka be included with the twins and Kurumi in this conversation?

[jolly condor]

I already have better ships so she isn’t needed

[ocean terrace]

but you said replace Ryu with the twins or Kurumi no? Or is it just for fun

[tulip tinsel]

imo she would be better than saint louis but idk

[jolly condor]

yea, but i haven’t really seen anything with tohka

[ocean terrace]

right? My understanding was Tohka is the best out of the 3

[jolly condor]

who?

[tulip tinsel]

https://youtu.be/25zbKzbOsSc

[ocean terrace]

pretty sure she's more consistent that Kurumi + does more damage than both twins and Kurumi

[tulip tinsel]

but idk i didn't bother lvling her because im waiting for guam+laffey2 rerun

[pine whale]

Assuming you can afford the investment, yes, obviously. Because Kurumi has a flaw Tohka doesn't have: relying on 3 stupid automatic NPCs to save her own hide

[deep storm]

Where else do I get this (special event equipment) from? I don't think I deleted it from my mail.

[pine whale]

And I understand how cool it must be to masterfully pull a revive with Elohim, but, please, efficiency gets done with less

[tulip tinsel]

missions if you didn't clear sectors atleast once

[ocean terrace]

I mean if you're considering to invest into Kurumi or Yamai twins, I'm sure you can do Tohka

[pine whale]

Kurumi gets free Gold Bulins. And I'm a beginner. Tohka doesn't

[deep storm]

That's... I don't see it anywhere

[tulip tinsel]

are you missing one rn or not?

[ocean terrace]

oh I see your point, but the person asking doesn't seem to be a beginner

[onyx flame]

did you not click claim rewards?

[pine whale]

Ah. My bad. Just joined now. Real life and all

[deep storm]

Missing one. See it in someone's mailbox, but not in my mission log

[pine whale]

Think the minimum for event quest was 16k event points

[ocean terrace]

18k for Zafkiel, 15k for the other one

[pine whale]

Ah, 18k? I remembered badly then. I did get Zafkiel recently

[deep storm]

Which click is that. That's easily too many rewards

[pine whale]

What do you mean too many. "Claim All" is a thing, isn't it

[tulip tinsel]

or check depot it might be there 🤷‍♂️

[jolly condor]

when are they re-running

[deep storm]

That's not in my mailbox though

[tulip tinsel]

late dec or january

[jolly condor]

😭😭oh yea then i’ll just save

[onyx flame]

if its not in your mailbox then check missions > prob event

if not check depot > gear > special?

[ocean terrace]

if it's a double rerun, does that mean one in the event shop, one in the gacha?

[tulip tinsel]

there wasn't a rerun yet so we are not sure, but probably

[ocean terrace]

I assume they were released as a double UR event then too

[tulip tinsel]

guam and laffey2 yes, the first double UR event

[ocean terrace]

does that mean all reruns are exact repeats of their initial release, in the way of obtaining them

[onyx flame]

it should follow the same as the original just event shop prices cut down plus 3x, 5x daily bonus and gacha tickets

[deep storm]

I've got nothing

[ocean terrace]

oh so it's even better

[tulip tinsel]

you have all 6 tho

[deep storm]

"Claim all" from where? Mail, missions?

[onyx flame]

bro you alr got all 6

[pine whale]

Missions

[deep storm]

Huh. I'm blind and illiterate

[pine whale]

Michael from Side stories

[tulip tinsel]

that's aux not augment

[ocean terrace]

Michael is an aux though

[pine whale]

What's the difference

[ocean terrace]

you know the things you put after your guns, like toolkit and shells

[tulip tinsel]

ship can only have 1 aug, there are 2 aux slots

[pine whale]

No

Ah, those.

[tulip tinsel]

michael in aux slot, augment in middle the blue one

[ocean terrace]

looking at the stats though, I assume it's not a very good aux, just raw hp with no skill

[grave venture]

I wanna ask a question is there any good healer and support like unicorn

[hollow gust]

That main gun sucks

[tulip tinsel]

ignore gear

ik, and i don't care not like i use her

[hollow gust]

Like her best one is a blue

[strange sphinx]

ah she is barrage spam

[grave venture]

.

[tulip tinsel]

i just need royal navy vang xp
