[stark quiver]

bro i forgot to do pvp

[viscid swift]

well if the meta was medium armor I might glaze Nahkimov and La-9s more

[ocean terrace]

I meant comparatively to PR8

since Nakhimov needs Soyuz

[rain bobcat]

well i've never used napoli more than once since DR30, i've used gouden and its basically a better guam which is very very good

[ocean terrace]

and you'd rather have Gouden over Napoli

[stark quiver]

yeah

[viscid swift]

well

[hollow sail]

napoli kind of a pointless ship if you have eldridge

[ocean terrace]

powercreeping of traditional tanks like Agir and Napoli right

[sharp socket]

nakhimov is amazing, bayard and daisen are really good, napoli #1 ehp, la9 best med fighter

[viscid swift]

friendly reminder that Eldridge retro released 1 month after Napoli

[stark quiver]

really

[rain bobcat]

eldridge existing and gouden being above guam level makes tank only kind of nothing crazy

[ocean terrace]

I love both Nakhimov and Soyuz's designs but I chose to focus PR8/DR8 purely because Gouden is better than Napoli

[sharp socket]

unfortunately napoli doesn't do very much except being super tanky which would be useful if eld didn't exist

[stark quiver]

you focus pr8 because meck is more practical than nakhimov

[hollow gust]

Gouden is busted

[stark quiver]

literally

[viscid swift]

meh, haven't found her that impressive

[rain bobcat]

yeah I bet

[ocean terrace]

I was told it's 50/50 between Bis Zwei Meck and Nakhimov Soyuz

[stark quiver]

nah

[hollow sail]

gouden looks strictly superior to guam at first glance but technically she is a good bit less tanky than guam in plane hells, just probably not usually enough to matter much assuming good fleet comps all around

[hollow gust]

Gouden is tanky as fuck, has amazing aa, has very solid dps

[viscid swift]

she's only 118% of Portland

[sharp socket]

im about equal on both meck and gouden prints, should i dump my blank dr8 on meck or gouden

[viscid swift]

and yes, it is noticable

[ocean terrace]

isn't Fs5 Bayard the same as Tohka

[hollow gust]

My Gouden shits on z52 on dps for yuudachi meta too

[rain bobcat]

my meck was over 150 ahead of gouden

[viscid swift]

she was noticably more fragile than Z52 when I tried her in Yuudachi META

[hollow gust]

[sharp socket]

the game decided i shouldnt have ship/gear focus and do everything at the same time

[viscid swift]

Meh

[hollow gust]

Either way , she is more suited as a campaign ship. Quite unfair to use her in boss content

[stark quiver]

Meh

[viscid swift]

I know, but that was about all I could really trial her on

[hollow gust]

Why is your backline damage so much lower then mine

[stark quiver]

goose comparing himself with ply to someone without ply and oaths

[hollow gust]

I thought cheeky splurged money for oaths

[sharp socket]

no he bought 2 mog skins

[viscid swift]

Hell no

[hollow gust]

🤮

[stark quiver]

all my money went into pvp oaths

[hollow gust]

That's even worse

Oathing for PvP is so fucking useless

[viscid swift]

0 regrets

[hollow gust]

DeZeven is based as fuck , I respect that

[sharp socket]

oh he bought alot more skins

[stark quiver]

non pvper words

[cloud fractal]

The generic Crystal Fragments for the meta shop. How do we acquire those?

[viscid swift]

weekly missions, harbiter, opsi exchange shop

[hollow gust]

If you are losing in PvP with no oaths you suck

And pvp is so attacker focused you cleave through meta fleets anyway

[stark quiver]

im not losing
but moving 5 in 3 also doesnt help

[sweet delta]

What happened to swimsuit mog

[viscid swift]

couldn't fit her in

[weary edge]

meck skin when 🙏🙏

[ocean terrace]

maybe this UR event

[onyx flame]

prob when dec ur event

[ocean terrace]

I assume none of the PR8/DR8 have any skins atm?

[onyx flame]

natta, they get their skin during dec event

[ocean terrace]

all of them?

[rain bobcat]

yes, 1 each

[ocean terrace]

oh so it's guaranteed nice

[hollow gust]

Is it? I remember one year , one of the ships didn't get it

[weary edge]

insert squid games celebrating gif

i finally finished researching meck so now she’s sitting at dev23

research lab has been refusing to give me meck projects lately tho and only gives me gl projects

is that a thing? like the more bps u have for that series the less projects you’ll get for it? because im pretty sure you stop getting projects for them completely if you get enough blueprints for fs5, i swear im getting like 3 gl projects for every meck project

[onyx flame]

desire sensor

[rain bobcat]

uhhh

I think that was ruppy, but she get her skin the week right after the dec UR event

[weary edge]

what skin has the best interactions in your opinion

[stray crane]

hot af

[rain bobcat]

that's more of a subjective thing

[weary edge]

well yeah but that’s why i asked in your opinion

[soft raft]

You're prob misremembering

If a ship is maxed out (IE D30, or if they have a Fate sim, FS5) or has enough BPs to do so, their face research gets removed from the pool until all ships of that season have been maxed out

[stray crane]

these also hot af

[weary edge]

yea that’s it, thx

[soft raft]

#al-general is also where this skin talk should be going

[rain bobcat]

but I can say that the best are definitely
shimanto soyuz chien wu (obviously since dual form)
bois bellau pearl anchorage

[weary edge]

bro doesnt know what channel he’s in 😭😭😭

oh wait ig that includes me too

[stray crane]

yeah cause u asked

[weary edge]

what did that one guy say again, the dec ur might start 14th?

[rain bobcat]

18th

[weary edge]

is that confirmed or speculation

[rain bobcat]

confirmed

[stray crane]

got the pic yet ?

[weary edge]

oh right 18th bc events always start on thursdays

[weary edge]

the teaser?

[stray crane]

the ur ship pic ?

[weary edge]

oh uh i dont think so can u send it

[sweet delta]

Events don't always start on thursday

[weary edge]

you lied to me you are the guy from the guides

every time ur helping a newbie u hit them with that “collect my pages(guides)”

[onyx flame]

there only so much prediction that can be done, manjuu could literally throw a curveball for all they want

[weary edge]

yes instead of uss UR it will be np 🤪

[ocean terrace]

what's wrong with that

[stray crane]

i want lion

[ocean terrace]

I love the NP ships

[weary edge]

nothing it’s just that historically dec urs have always been either ib or eu

[ocean terrace]

oh fr? I like that

EU referring to europe right

[weary edge]

eagle union

[ocean terrace]

oh lmao

[ivory sigil]

I know but i need someone who had Ayase
Why did i dont play AZ sooner i could had get Ayase

Is anyone here had Ayase in your AZ ? Can i see the pic?

Specially her outfit

[olive geyser]

what are the good AA guns for sandy? i can't afford the rainbow yet

[stark quiver]

sextuple aa

[olive geyser]

got it. ty

[weary edge]

isnt that gear lab

[onyx flame]

yea, but its cheaper than the ur

[stark quiver]

not just gear lab

[weary edge]

i havent grinded. opsi yet so 😭😭 gold roomba for me

[desert epoch]

When collab end?

[weary edge]

tmr lol

[rain bobcat]

24.5HRS

[desert epoch]

Will it be by the time we got today's reset?

[ivory sigil]

24 hour and 30 min left

[vocal niche]

24 hours 30 mins

[desert epoch]

Oh okay

Question, do you get cubes daily?

[weary edge]

yea u should be getting like 3-5 daily

[desert epoch]

I am still missing Kotori

Gotta grab her real quick

[weary edge]

same lol

[ivory sigil]

...

[ivory sigil]

Good luck not getting dupe of other i mean

Btw i have like 225 cube for now

Does it fast enough for the next UR event or RIP 💀 ?

[desert epoch]

Tbh I am struggling with contents that requires multiple fleets

I might need your help building 4 teams for Sector 6 Hard for collab even

[onyx flame]

should not be doing that if your new, just run solo

building 4 fleet is stretching your already twin af resources too much

[ocean terrace]

just keep saving, you might have 400 by the time the event ends, also you might not need the pity anyway

[rain bobcat]

enough

[ivory sigil]

You only need 1 team,
Press Solo battle on the bottom right

[desert epoch]

What about Coalition Reward?

[ivory sigil]

Not much different, just extra pts

Btw what lvl is your ship btw?

[onyx flame]

you get 30 extra points, but its better to just run s6 solo, then s5 coalition
cause oil cap = more farming + more base points

[ivory sigil]

will ayase rerun?

[desert epoch]

Remind me how to equip Augment Module

[atomic vortex]

Gotta have max LB ship I think and it's in the gear screen at the bottom

[hollow sail]

need MLB ship and click rightmost slot on gear equip screen

[desert epoch]

Max Limit Break, not Awakening right?

[hollow sail]

right

[rain bobcat]

a bit far away

[soft raft]

Yes eventually
(She was part of Amagi CV's event)

[hollow sail]

there are a few exceptions, META/UR/research doesn't need MLB

[ivory sigil]

i know im broke

how to get the free thing, i dont see any place to get this free thing

[weary edge]

resets daily

[ivory sigil]

you mean it is a mission?

[weary edge]

no like when ur coining the first 2 r free

doesnt apply to non coinable ships

[ivory sigil]

i cant find the mission relate to giving free blueprint

[weary edge]

it’s not a mission amigo

[ocean terrace]

ok look

when you've unlocked the ship, you can start developing it

[hollow gust]

Why is my z52 so doodoo

[ocean terrace]

some ships (PR 1-6) can be coined (you can develop the ship through coins)

the first 2 blueprints are free every day

[ivory sigil]

im not looking at it ... you mean number right?

[ocean terrace]

you can only see it after unlocking the ship in shipyard

[weary edge]

@ivory sigil

[ivory sigil]

oh no i accidentally press submit exp

does that mean it screwed?

[weary edge]

no ur good

[soft raft]

Wdym

[onyx flame]

huh? if you dont submit you cant work on the next one

[ocean terrace]

huh, you can't submit exp
you can earn exp through ships, submitting is for items like blueprints and coins

[weary edge]

after ur done with all that, that’s when u start coining

once u actually get the ship you need to upgrade it’s dev level, max being 30

[ocean terrace]

dev level 30 = mlb but for research ships

[weary edge]

u need 343 blueprints in total, when ur coining (using this ss as example), every time you add one, it’s the same as using 1 blueprint

512 blueprints for dr ships

[ivory sigil]

so basically no ship = no imcome for the last 2 ?

[weary edge]

ok protocores is something completely different

[ocean terrace]

did you read the guide for research

[weary edge]

yes please do read the guide first, it’s a lot to explain

[ocean terrace]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/research/

[ivory sigil]

the guide said i need a ship then i can convert the blueprint for protocore using some trick like force blueprint a dev30 ship ?

[real folio]

when the said ship is at max dev level and then fs5, you can then convert them into protocore currency

[ocean terrace]

depends but it's usually recommended to convert your CATCHUP blueprints for protocores

catchup blueprints are the one you chose here

[weary edge]

dont need to be fs5 for conversion

[real folio]

no? ok my bad then

[weary edge]

u can convert bps once they’re dev30

[stray crane]

how about fate sim

[weary edge]

just coin it

[stray crane]

okay

[ivory sigil]

huh i have like 91, did you were catch up on roon before?

[ocean terrace]

no you shouldn't catchup PR ships, recommended to catchup DR

[ocean terrace]

who is that btw

[onyx flame]

is that flandre

[ocean terrace]

flandre is ass.

[weary edge]

bro… 🫩🫩🫩

just catch up anchorage or smth

[ocean terrace]

agir, anchorage, fdg

[weary edge]

coin fdg or agir and catch up them to convert their bps into protocores

[ocean terrace]

any of those 3, I need better BBs so I went for FDG

[onyx flame]

pr 1-3 and 5 are the usually reco to convert to protocore
dr its up to you

[real folio]

do you have to fs5 every single one?

[weary edge]

recommended

[onyx flame]

some ships want em but some dont need em

[weary edge]

like avp is must have

[real folio]

is there is a list? and im coining avp at the moment

[onyx flame]

i mean if it can be coin just coin it unless you got other things to coin

[stray crane]

same

[real folio]

i just have too many to coin, im finishing both Fdg and Avp at the same time

[weary edge]

uhhh i personally did roon > fdg > avp > anchorage > agir

well i actually got fdg to dev30 after avp and anchorage

[stray crane]

u coin all of em the same time ?

[real folio]

i cant unlock anchorage so i went for aegir

[ocean terrace]

is 10-3 better to farm than 10-4

[weary edge]

hell nah id be broke ash 😭😭

[real folio]

i coin a Pr and a Dr in the same day yes

[weary edge]

in terms of gold ur better off farming X-4

[stray crane]

3k a day

[ocean terrace]

10-3 has higher coin per oil spent

[weary edge]

oh then ig do 10-3

[onyx flame]

just push to chp 12

[ocean terrace]

and exp per oil spent

[real folio]

3k for avp and 7k for fdg

[ocean terrace]

I'm level locked

[weary edge]

welcome to hell

[stray crane]

u rich i got no coin

[onyx flame]

i mean you alr got the numbers so farm 10-3 then

[weary edge]

farm 12-4

[real folio]

i farm 12-1 all day

[stray crane]

no oil bro

[weary edge]

buy oil from event shop

[ocean terrace]

it was just weird to me since X-4 is always recommended, it's only W10 that's different

[stray crane]

already did

[ivory sigil]

i got mocked like the same day i mlb my yoshino on 1stday

what about shimato, she is PR6 too

[weary edge]

what r u using all that oil on 😭😭

is ur canteen maxd out

[real folio]

chasing meck combat exp 😛

[ocean terrace]

why PR6...

just do PR7/8, but honestly PR8 >

PR7 catchup is in 2 months

[weary edge]

just finished that today and now she’s sitting at dev23

[stray crane]

almost spent 20k oil in 2 days

[onyx flame]

they are on research focus 8 which is fine, doing catchup on flandre from pr6 is not fine

[weary edge]

bro 💔💔💔

[ivory sigil]

bruh i still at PR8

[ocean terrace]

oh that

[real folio]

congrats! i want her too

[ocean terrace]

yeah no Flandre is ass

[onyx flame]

anyway switch your catchup to shimanto, flandre is

[ivory sigil]

i being squeezed by 2 mommie and 2cuties and sacrifice cube, what should i do

[weary edge]

rly? not anchorage?

[ocean terrace]

even then there are better

[weary edge]

always go gouden leeuw

well, mecklenburg, then gl

[real folio]

definitely gw, in that case, normally meck

[onyx flame]

i mean it really doesnt matter, they cant get the either of those 2 ships anywayway

[weary edge]

lol true

[remote vigil]

She so cute tho

[ocean terrace]

thats why you usually go Roon -> FDG -> Agir

[weary edge]

her gun is 10x better than her actual self

[ocean terrace]

for the tech

[weary edge]

yeah that’s what i did

[real folio]

i had to get some iron blood on top

[ocean terrace]

obtainable through protocore shop unfortunately

[weary edge]

should be the firs tthing u buy in protocore shop

[real folio]

i got roon > fdg > odin > aegir to unlock meck

[weary edge]

odin 💔💔💔

odin is lowk aura tho

[remote vigil]

Foreign language ngl. I'm lvl 88 and have no idea what I'm doing aside from collecting waifus.

[real folio]

i think i should have gone for rupprecht but i like her as well

[weary edge]

oh no

send a pic of ur dock rq

[hollow gust]

Who uses flandre gun

[weary edge]

ME

i dont have meck gun yet im like 6 bps away

[stark quiver]

noobs

[weary edge]

isnt flandre gun like second best ap gun 😭😭

[hollow gust]

All I remember was that gun was a piece of shit

[onyx flame]

are you rmbing correctly

[ocean terrace]

it's no.1 on protocore priority list

[weary edge]

y yall hating 😭😭

[ocean terrace]

the gold BB guns are flandre and champy

[weary edge]

i personally like flandre gun over champ gun

[ivory sigil]

what does that mean? Flandre actually had flandre gun on her ?

[weary edge]

u get more use out of her gun than the character herself lol

[remote vigil]

I shrunk it down to SR and UR only

[hollow gust]

Huh I flipped the two guns , oh well

[weary edge]

yo ahh aint lvl88 😭😭

[uneven knot]

anyone know why i cant see the other mission loggers? i thought there were supposed to be 8 per month

[short beacon]

is there a way to make all my purple bulins to use the skin?

[hollow gust]

Either way flandre gun goes only on your slow BB

[stark quiver]

8 lifetime

[short beacon]

and all future obtained ones also

[uneven knot]

no wayyyyy

[stark quiver]

manually equip the skin on each one?

[weary edge]

rigging analyses refusing to give me meck gun prints 😭😭

[stark quiver]

same

[short beacon]

this seems lvl 88 to me tho?

[stark quiver]

but i dont even use meck guns so it doesnt matter to me

[stray crane]

damn i want owari

[weary edge]

nah it’s photoshopped

[short beacon]

btw what is the max lvl rn?

[weary edge]

y not

[weary edge]

idk if there is one but it shouldnt rly matter, once u hit 100 anything level locked should be unlocked at that point

[stark quiver]

i dont use bbs at all for bossing content
and i only do pvp so

[lyric stump]

Dont think theres max cmd lv i heard people hit 200 or smth

[short beacon]

yo wth

[stark quiver]

its 200

[lyric stump]

Actual ?

[short beacon]

jeez im having gbf ptsd rn

[weary edge]

tf is gbf

[stark quiver]

yeah

[lyric stump]

K goal is 10 lv per year and 140 now so 6 years

[short beacon]

im only 125 rn xD

[weary edge]

i aint even 100 yet vro 💔

[stark quiver]

level progression isnt linear

[lyric stump]

Ik spend more time

[short beacon]

granblue fantasy, grindiest game anyone can ever play

[weary edge]

i think if they 140 they proly already know that 😭

[weary edge]

this the only real gacha game i play so i wouldnt know

[lyric stump]

People even grind opsi lv1 for cmd xp lol

[stark quiver]

you can c1 grind and 15-4 grind levels btw if u didnt know
But its like detrimental

I stopped grinding commands level too, I am noob fr

[short beacon]

btw should i be grinding archives for hydraulics? im all out

[stark quiver]

nah

[hollow gust]

I'm lower level

[short beacon]

or should i just take them from other ships im not using rn?

[mint fable]

I don't think so

[stark quiver]

my ass you are

mrdonny

[mint fable]

Unless maybe you're looking for Fleetpower stuffs, then maybe that's good.

[lyric stump]

Do researches and u be rich over time

[hollow gust]

I'm lvl102

[short beacon]

is it available for all pr researches?

[lyric stump]

Yep

[stark quiver]

alt acc level 102

[short beacon]

it feels like im at the 120 range forever

[stark quiver]

it happens

[mint fable]

It's not easy indeed, but not impossible either, so keep going

[short beacon]

btw what is a good pvp team?

[remote vigil]

good question lmao

[short beacon]

im fine going slow, i leave the game quite frequently xD

[stark quiver]

I use this for PvP

[short beacon]

does anyone even play pvp? i normally don't touch it unless there are missions

[ivory sigil]

imagine playing Azurlane for NNN participate challenge 🥀

[mint fable]

That's good, you're playing for having fun then

[lyric stump]

The german bc ,lion, alsace, lf2, the meta ship, and ur retrofit dd

[mint fable]

Some do frequently playing PvP, mostly the progressive one

[lyric stump]

Cant remeber nane

[short beacon]

i dh half of what is here

[remote vigil]

I play it for merit

[lyric stump]

Its not worth building one. U can just grind normally with 6 lv 125s.

[short beacon]

being a returning player sucks lmao, missing all the new URs

[mint fable]

They're looking for as many Merits as possible for buying Bullins

[short beacon]

gold or UR?

[stark quiver]

lion, seydlitz, glorious meta
yukikaze,laffey2,eldridge retrofit

[mint fable]

Gold

[glossy granite]

Who to mlb first 🤔 Fritz, Z52, Musashi, Unzen, Trafalgar i got like 9 UR bullins 😭

[short beacon]

makes sense

[glossy granite]

Or do i just save for end december

[lyric stump]

Who u already mlb?

[mint fable]

The one closest to MLB first

[glossy granite]

Trafalgar then

[short beacon]

do yall buy out all the gold bulins from shop every month?

[lyric stump]

When am rich and got left overs

[mint fable]

Me personally, yes

[short beacon]

wth do i buy with core data anyway? other than the white and black

[onyx flame]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[onyx flame]

once you got 3 whites and 1 black the rest is kinda up to you

[mint fable]

Independence really good, buy her if you didn't have her yet

[short beacon]

who the hell are buying cog chips

[onyx flame]

me

[stark quiver]

Some weird people like to try hard PvP for some reason

[mint fable]

Some real progressive player who's 120-ing all those ships

[short beacon]

why only 1 black?

[lyric stump]

Everyone should just use 2 bullin as defense

[onyx flame]

you can also grab drake if you dont have the cat yet very solid BB cat

[lyric stump]

U use firecontrol more oftenly

[short beacon]

i cant imagine myself running out of them luckily

[onyx flame]

it take 2.2k per Sr ship to go from 100-120, then there also lvl120 tech

[lyric stump]

Ive been 120ing my ships for a while and i have still good 50k+ or how many i forgot

[glossy granite]

Been pretty lazy the past 2 months or so i gotta lock in lmao, with lvls aswell

[delicate kraken]

wasn't there a sheet or something about gem pack value? does anyone have it?

[short beacon]

who uses the black one tho?

[delicate kraken]

thanks

[short beacon]

i've been using them on everyone honestly, never bothered with other aux gears

[lyric stump]

For me my soyuz with cv hybrid fleet

[weary edge]

wait so someone said that meck and all the pr8s r gonna get a skin when dec UR comes out, so will the DRs get l2ds?

[short beacon]

when would i wanna use black and when would i wanna use radar?

[onyx flame]

when your syncing your backline

[lyric stump]

Do z52 1st then sushi ( u at w12 ish?) Then unzen then rumey then trafalga then uvh

[short beacon]

ngl i got this far without knowing any mechanic for this game

[sweet delta]

use AFCT or HSFCR unless you know what you're doing with black

[weary edge]

sorry i prefer to keep my backline afloat

[short beacon]

i have no idea what that means but thanks for the tip

[glossy granite]

Im w13, scared to try W14 lmao i need to fix my gears first and certain ships

[weary edge]

it’s the rainbow bb aux

[onyx flame]

2 is the max rn, if they were around for the first event + rerun

[short beacon]

i only played the first i think

chances r they’ll add it to core shop

[lyric stump]

W14 just do
Heal cvl sushi/raffelo heal cv for mob
Then fdr essex lion for boss

[short beacon]

i hvt rly been using cores tbh

[onyx flame]

[weary edge]

i did just didnt go uber degenerate

[glossy granite]

Gooning is part of the Azur lane lore wdym

[weary edge]

ive heard historically collab units r buns but it seems lately they’ve been putting out some solid units

[short beacon]

this is rikka btw

[ivory sigil]

wat to do if this cap

[short beacon]

had to boot up my game just to educate you on the gooner culture

[weary edge]

use it

[short beacon]

let it cap

[lyric stump]

I saw someguy throw 5 engine on her and run hella fast or 5 ur torp

[sweet delta]

i saw that too

[short beacon]

that sounds stupid but fun as hell ngl, being able to equip 5 aux is such a unit

[weary edge]

any datealive units worth building and using

[short beacon]

kurumi is pretty fun, her skill is quite unique

[weary edge]

if i leak nsa files to the public will i be persecuted

[onyx flame]

the vanguard are all good, the backliner are just above avg golds

[weary edge]

i havent rly used her is she like a mobbing unit

[onyx flame]

mobbing tank yes

[short beacon]

btw imma nid yall to judge my progress real quick, left the game since pr6 and came back for dal.
I need yall to tell me how far am i from the new stuff since then

[onyx flame]

far as in what?

[short beacon]

w8 my pics just disappeared wth

[short beacon]

like what am i missing, and how badly do i need them. also does my current stuff work on end game content

[tulip tinsel]

u missed the 🦁

[weary edge]

the lion spends all his cubes on collab events and starts a new UR event with 0 cubes

[short beacon]

let me know if gears should be accessed as well

[lyric stump]

U r missing 2 super important ship called z52 and lion

[short beacon]

yeah i realized it, seeing them alot in guides and stuff

[lyric stump]

But good news lafdy2 and guam coming back to escort u through w15

[short beacon]

pog

i was pretty sad to learn there was a new laffey and i dont have her

[lyric stump]

Soon

[short beacon]

she was my second ever oath

[vale hill]

what time is the maintence?

[wind hazel]

<t:1764831600:F>

[weary edge]

if ur EST that is

[vale hill]

ok

[lyric stump]

Should show diff for everyone

[valid forge]

should i increase tohka's level cap?

[onyx flame]

if your planning to use her long term yea

[valid forge]

okay

[past bear]

Do it for me

[cerulean musk]

how do you get this

[tulip tinsel]

18k event pt if you didn't clear s6 before it reached 0%

[cerulean musk]

im at 100k points still dont have it

[woven star]

Check your mail?

[cerulean musk]

oh its in the mail

[errant frost]

I'm lv73 commander and I need to lv 80 .
Does stage 5 datealive event worth it?
It give 348 per run ,which is if auto-battle ×5 it give 1305 commander exp.

[onyx flame]

do you still need to grind the event? if yes then do the highest one you can preferable section 6 cause its oil capped, solo if you cant form 4 fleets

[errant frost]

1740

[onyx flame]

if not then farm the highest campaign stage if your already past chp 9

[errant frost]

Stage 6 not stage 5 it gives 1740 if ×5

Worth it? I think campaign 9-4 or 10-4 is slow to grind than stage 6 event.

[onyx flame]

if you dont need anything from the event go back to the campaign

[valid forge]

where i should spend my 1700 gems?

[wind hazel]

3rd dorm slot, 2nd floor dorm, the rest into dockspace

[valid forge]

okay

[vocal niche]

any healer in DAL collab ? I'm getting tried of using Unicorn already

[onyx flame]

there is but unicorn is still better

[tulip tinsel]

all other healers mid compared to unicorn

[rocky tapir]

How long does the current event take to completely finish with all the trophies and what not?

[wind hazel]

few days of farming

i think

[rocky tapir]

So no can do anymore then. Got less than 24 hrs

[wind hazel]

lemme recheck the missions

[rocky tapir]

Dun really care about the full rewards. Just the trophies and augments

[wind hazel]

yeah few days of farming at least, not sure if you can farm 18000 points in less than a day

[rocky tapir]

Ah

[onyx flame]

its possible if you can do s6 coalition hard

its like 95 runs~

[wind hazel]

how many points per s6 hard coalition

[rocky tapir]

Ok

[onyx flame]

190

[wind hazel]

good luck have fun

[onyx flame]

it really comes down to time since morale isnt an issue lmao

well an oil needed

[rocky tapir]

I got ton of those

[summer prism]

950 points per 5 run. So u need abt 100 run.

[wind hazel]

the oil needed is actually less than mission requirement lol

need to spend 10k oil

[rocky tapir]

I haven't played this game since forever. Only wanted to get the collab units.

[summer prism]

Oh right. U can get points from event mission too

[rocky tapir]

OK. S6 nothing. Did they change something with morale consumption?

[onyx flame]

it cause all 4 fleet are fighting 1 battle only so

it honestly regens faster than it consumes

[rocky tapir]

Even though not all are in dorm?

[wind hazel]

you'll see drop if you grind 24/7

[rocky tapir]

Ah

[wind hazel]

there's 20 regen outside of dorm so you might not see it after just a few battle

but continuously grind and you'll lose more than you gain

[onyx flame]

if you have zero downtime yea definitly will see it drop

[rocky tapir]

oh well. 1 time thing anyway and I'm out again.

[onyx flame]

new mini event? doesnt seem to be call to arms

[wind hazel]

just 7 days login side event

[onyx flame]

cool 2 week to gather money for ur then

[wind hazel]

well this one not login i guess, need grind lol

[crude basin]

is saratoga important to retrofit asap, ive done uni and portland already

[lyric stump]

Do sandiago

[crude basin]

appreciate it thanks

[onyx flame]

ehh you can hold off on retroing em if you need the prints for other stuff.
they mostly want their Unique augment if you want to use em

[lyric stump]

Unique argument is not hard

Just 21k coin and mlb

[lyric stump]

U can use san diago all the way till w15

[whole lichen]

where to get san diego

[onyx flame]

from light banner or medal shop

[lyric stump]

Very easy and common

Actual has been a while i seen her in my construction

[rapid shard]

Would a +13 Champ gun or +10 Gerogia gun be higher overall dmg in Arbiter length fight?

[onyx flame]

meck

but it prob be champ

[wind hazel]

you can check in lars calculator

[rapid shard]

Meck gun would be ideal but Rng has not been in my favor on prints lol just curious cause of the speed difference

[rapid shard]

Do you have the link for it?

[wind hazel]

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

[eternal basalt]

CtA comes next week

[rain bobcat]

most likely champ unless 457 gets a full extra salvo

[rapid shard]

Calc is showing with my cats/tech the 457 getting full 5th salvo compared to 4 with the champ.

[rain bobcat]

you can enable damage+skills in the calculator

[rapid shard]

Its acting wonky on my phone. Cant seem to get dmg to show up. Ill have to mess with it when im on my PC

Also, with the Twin 406 Mk4, does a preload count towards the 5th barrage count before it increases the reload?

[rain bobcat]

most likely not

the first salvo is almost always the one that's not preloaded

[boreal wagon]

it does count the preload

[rapid shard]

Wasn't sure how the game had to coded and setup and was looking at the bonus effect on it.

[boreal wagon]

it just increments a counter by 1 every time the ship fires
which includes any and all preloads

[rapid shard]

Does HPFCR do the same on ships with preloads?

[boreal wagon]

no

but thats because already loaded shots cant be decreased and HPFCR applies to the first reload

[pine whale]

• Me have Kurumi, Penn, Laffey, Long Island, Unicorn, and Starter Submarine, (and Portland as Seventh, 30 levels down)
• me got UR ticket now
• me have to choose ASAP
  which choose?

[tulip tinsel]

ur's useless if you cannot mlb them

[rapid shard]

Makes sense. wasn't sure if i did count the half second "loading" of the preload on a ship like Oumi. Can Ive messed around with white/black and white/HPFCR and didnt notice any real speed up on the first salvo. Was using the twin 406 so that could explain it

[pine whale]

Ok but which? New Jersey? I just need to pick one (it's free isn't it)

[rapid shard]

Musashi >shinano/vangurad > NJ> the rest

[pine whale]

Musashi it is! Thank you

[rapid shard]

Keep picking same ship from pity selector till MLB then swap to the next in line

Personally I would recommend Shinano before Vanguard unless you get some top tier CVs before then

[craggy pecan]

how do i automatically lock at least one copy of a ship no matter the rarity?

[boreal wagon]

btw damage calcs are disabled by default, and also they only paint a rough picture

[boreal wagon]

for ships you have already obtained once before youll have to do it manually, for any future new obtains there is a setting called "Automatically Lock New Characters"

[craggy pecan]

ah so i have to do it manually

[boreal wagon]

oumi doesnt have a preload tho.

more specifically the HPFCR only counts the first true reload doesnt matter how long that reload actually is but a preload isnt a real reload the gun just gets set to the ready state instantly
the reason the guns that say after X volley do Y count the preload is because they increment a counter every time the firing sequence happens and since preloads are just normal firings they are also counted

and yes with oumi if she happens to load her 5th shot also when the reload reduction she would get happens they combine additive

[deft kettle]

does anyone know what this bar means on aircraft carriers?

[rapid shard]

I thought hers was considered a preload? She fires main guns and a sweeping barrage together unless thats only counted as a barrage

[boreal wagon]

a preload is a main gun shot at the start of the battle

ex: alsace

[rapid shard]

She fires main gun at start of battle

[boreal wagon]

she doesnt

she fires a barrage at the start of battle

if she fired her main gun youd get a time slow and also the BB button would light up

[rain bobcat]

she simply switches when firing

[onyx flame]

Detection Level:
If the gauge hasn't been filled, your carriers gains "hidden buff", which is 10% flat AA resistance reduction to enemies (basically they deal more dmg) and they can't be chosen as a valid target (enemies BB won't attack your CV when hidden).
If the gauge has been filled, there will be an exclamation mark (!) displayed to the side of the gauge, and your carriers lose the "hidden buff". They will regain the buff when the gauge level falls below the red line.
The gauge will be slowly filled if spotted by the enemy (both planes and ships) if they crossed the detection line, when they are burning, and when launching an airstrike.

[deft kettle]

oh

alr thx for the info

[rapid shard]

Gotcha, ive got a gear skin that looks pretty similar to her barrage effects so thought it was firing as well, dont have alsace so dont have a actual preload BB. I thought it skipped the time slow on preload

[rain bobcat]

you dont have JB riche clem gascogne?

actually wait gascan doesnt have preload

[rapid shard]

Got clem and JB but haven't leveled and used them yet

[onyx flame]

massena

[rapid shard]

not MLB so haven't used her yet either

[tulip ibex]

Do we already have Shinano, Ägir, Kearsarg frame yet?

[white venture]

which emulator is the best for azur lane with AMD CPU? coz azur lane on bluestacks doesnt launch anymore

[vale spindle]

im snail sry

[scenic mesa]

This is my lineup, which PR ship should I go for next?

[whole crypt]

what do I do with this mess

[onyx flame]

level em

[onyx flame]

honestly think its up to you atp, if you need a freeze for amagi cv you can grab avp, or plymouth since she be coinable soon ™ or if your working on lvl 120 tech gascogne for her bb rld,

[scenic mesa]

Alright thanks

Maybe AVP it is then, btw where do I farm for endgame gear?

[tulip tinsel]

opsi

[onyx flame]

opsi + research academy

[haughty skiff]

opsi / research, it depends on what exactly you're looking for.

imo; plymouth -> avp -> agir. dr & prs can be coined seperately so you can get coin plymouth & avp at the same time

make sure you're researching pr7 or 8 - you seem to be working on 7 which is fine

[haughty skiff]

for context, pr5 drs & pr6 golds should be coinable around january

[onyx flame]

ngl i think they can skip agir considering they got enuf tanks

[scenic mesa]

I'm hoping of finishing my Soviet Fleet first Soyuz, Nakhimov, Kronstadt, Volga

[haughty skiff]

no harm in getting agir for her eventual fate sim, but i do agree she isn't a priority over other options

[scenic mesa]

Maybe AVP or Plymouth would be the best investment next

[haughty skiff]

you can get avp now, then ply near the end of december so you can coin her when it releases

shimanto is also a solid pick-up for when pr6 golds are coinable

[scenic mesa]

Alrighty then, thanks for the recommendations guys

[whole crypt]

is today the last day of instabooks?

[tulip ibex]

Do we already have Shinano, Ägir, Kearsarg frame yet?

[rain bobcat]

yeah

[wanton dagger]

Who is better New Jersey or Shinano?

I'm trying to get this

[tulip tinsel]

useless if you can't mlb them

[haughty skiff]

Shinano, however both are permanent URs and aren't worth the UR Bulins so both are functionally useless. Musashi is also a lot more impactful and is also a permanent UR

[whole crypt]

no need to rush for it
if you get there just hold on to the invite
there are more useful perm URs now than to spend resources on those 2 while holding bulins for new URs

[violet grail]

@rain bobcat
x10 training insta finish is until 10th of december so another week.

[whole crypt]

I don't have T4 red books to go for another week

[violet grail]

So use t3

[whole crypt]

[boreal merlin]

This event dried me of my red books. All I have left is the blue ones

I was already using purples ones since I was raising 4 red skills

[whole crypt]

well the main issue is really I'm basically out of skills to level besides red ones too

[violet grail]

Im getting to the point where i'm leveling submarine skills for lack of other useful ships.

[whole crypt]

I'm just leveling skills on ships that missed out on the skill leveling earlier on

[violet grail]

2 and a half months into the game my roster isnt that huge yet so easier to catch up on skills with this event. Not sure how often this kind of event comes around but I'll try to save up T4 red books for next time it rolls around.

[whole crypt]

it comes round like maybe once or twice a year

it's just I'm at a point of considering whether to spend T4 yellows and blues just for the 300 more XP

[violet grail]

would have needed 200 T4 books over these 20 days to make maximum use of the event o.0

[whole crypt]

it's not so bad when you spread it out across the 3 types and you also get some every couple days from daily raids

[violet grail]

Blue ones probably won't be missed.

[nova burrow]

Is there any datamine about the Formi augment?

[wind hazel]

too early, wait 13-14 more hours

i'll leak you the augment
Formidable new augment skill
Increase own weight by 200%

[worthy iris]

The event collab end around 16 hours?

[forest palm]

17 hrs 27 mins

[worthy iris]

thank you

[nova burrow]

Well my guess is it removes the albacore requierment in her skill^^

[plain saffron]

hi

[green galleon]

This has been bothering me for a while, is this supposed to happen? My Agir is already maxed out

I can't exchange her blueprint either

[ivory pawn]

Yes. That’s normal.

If you want to exchange her prints for protocore, uncheck the box “save for fate sim”.

Well, the 90’s a bit much unless you’re focusing 4 for some reason which you really shouldn’t be.

Or if they’re old.

[green galleon]

Well I thought I should still collect them 👀
Anyways thanks

[forest palm]

there is almost 0 guarantee in which DR gets Fate Simulation

[ivory pawn]

I’d save ‘em myself unless you need the protocore for something.

[soft raft]

TFW you can coin Agir anyways

[twin river]

What is best lv up commander lv to 60? I am lv 50. And finished ch 7. Thanks the answers

[ivory pawn]

High campaign stage you can farm.
There’s also event s6 if you haven’t finished event, or Polaris s5 in War Archives to take advantage of oil cap.

[soft raft]

If you're talking about how to grind it faster, there's really no other way than doing stages with full fleets

[twin river]

Ah got it

[soft raft]

Or buy the lvl 70 commander pack but like you're 20 lvls away, wouldn't say that's worth it

[tulip tinsel]

20*

[viral solar]

Where do I get those?

Ive done all stages event ones but I cant for the love of me get those

[ivory pawn]

Missions > Event.

[weary edge]

oh do the more ships you use give you more commander exp? i didnt know that

i have a lvl 100 unit that’s not on any team or participating in any event but when i click “recommend” in commissions it says i dont have any lvl 100 ships available what do i need to do to make it recognise the surplus of lvl 100 ships i have available

[wind hazel]

might be stuck in guild operation

[weary edge]

hmm let me check

[violet grail]

The commission could also have specific unit type requirements.

[weary edge]

no not there, but it is true that they have to be completely free from any activity to be eligible?

[weary edge]

that is true but i was able to manually add that ship so

[wind hazel]

no idea lol

[weary edge]

😭😭😭

[mossy stratus]

idk if it count as gameplay help, but which skin do you guys think got the best goonservice??

[rapid shard]

#al-general would have the answers you seek

[weary edge]

no shame 😭😭

[rain bobcat]

pearl

I haven't done her in my list because she pissed me off but ill get to it sometime

definitely one of the crazy shit of all time that's for sure

[gray sphinx]

My mouth dropped when I saw the lion swimsuit skin booba interaction

[rain bobcat]

[onyx flame]

it might be getting fix patch notes mention a fix for pearl l2d

[rain bobcat]

so finally the joystick is getting fixed

only took them 2 months

[hushed cliff]

Is Independence generally better for mobs or boss or can she do whatever

[undone plover]

she can do both in campaign
but she is not a bossing ship outside of campaign

[mossy stratus]

no one responded me😢

[mossy stratus]

aight thx my homie

[undone plover]

can try later when diff ppl are active

[analog tendon]

12-3 is kicking my ass, i definitely need better AA

[gray sphinx]

That’s what sandy is for

[analog tendon]

For all the memes about her i still haven't got a single copy of Sandy :V
Maybe i'll get her in the upcoming UR event

[tulip tinsel]

medal shop if you have cl's

[gray sphinx]

I mean you can also grab her from the medal shop

[tulip tinsel]

or just use CV's and it should be doable

[undone plover]

show your fleets
maybe we can fix sth

[analog tendon]

Since i had heard how often Sandy comes out from building i bought Sirius from the medal shop (not that i'm complaining)

[tulip tinsel]

getting a random gold from building is all up to rng

[analog tendon]

This is what i've been using till now...and the boss wrecked my Main fleet. I tried swapping Ranger and Saratoga and i BARELY squeezed a victory (as in, i literally only had Nelson and Portland left with pixels of hp)

[undone plover]

could be a gear issue
mind showing the boss fleet gear? since they are struggling?
but yeah def ranger should have been replaced a while back at least
and u probably have sth better than amazon

[analog tendon]

Amazon is for finishing the last damn research mission of 2M exp from Royal Vanguard ships reeeeee

[tulip tinsel]

looks like gear issue or smth, can't understand how lvl 120 fleet cant beat 12-3 boss

[analog tendon]

gonna make a collage of the gear to not link tons of screenshots

[undone plover]

can make a thread if u want

and post w.e u want
we can manage

[red sapphire]

[red sapphire]

At the same time

[grim siren]

Hello, who's ship in the main fleet that constantly shoots like a vanguard ship?

[analog tendon]

Yeah, i've been following those guides (i should be able to craft a Wyvern this month, 4 UR designs left)

[wispy cosmos]

there's a few backliners with long range aux guns?

[red sapphire]

You lack of materials?

[analog tendon]

Literally only the UR designs, i already have everything else to craft it, including the Firecrest plane

[red sapphire]

No, I mean, for upgrading the equipment

[stray crane]

for real i m missing one ur plane print too

[grim siren]

Ah, I mean a good backline mobbing ships

[real folio]

does anyone have a list about the PR/DR ships ds5 if necessary or not? if said thing even exists

[analog tendon]

i've been trying to be sparse with upgrades unless it was some big piece of gear (pretty much only upgraded those gold/rainbow gears at +10, almost everything else came out already with +3 or +6)
and i'm currently low on coin and completely out of purple general plates

[viscid swift]

it does not exist

[real folio]

so its mostly ds5 everything? i know its recommended

i was just wondering if i could get away with not doing some at the moment at least

[red sapphire]

I see. It's safe to +6 the equipment, only +10 what is really worth it, but don't use things at +3 if you can +6 it

[lucid orchid]

hmm how to limit break research ship like saint louis

[real folio]

upgrade the dev level in research

[lucid orchid]

k

[red sapphire]

Also 155 and 113 AA are worth to +10 at some point, if not yet

[real folio]

every 10 levels is a limit break

[lucid orchid]

damn need lot coins

[real folio]

i personally would do 10 a day, for saint louis its 3k a day

[lucid orchid]

seem not effective to farm for libre tech point, i guess will pick another

[real folio]

roon is recommended for iron blood tech, but get a second opinion as well

[lucid orchid]

[desert epoch]

Remind me, is there any benefit in 3 starring main story?

[nova burrow]

Yes, gems

[lucid orchid]

i usually ignore until i stong enogh and come back grind

[desert epoch]

Oh, didn't see that

[undone plover]

hey mate sry had to go
make sure u follow the link they posted for the equipment guide
your planes are really not good u can get better purple planes than what u are using atm
probably explains why the boss is not dying
laffey should have defensive HP aux

[analog tendon]

Thank for all the help guys

[oblique mortar]

when/how can you change your OpSi fleet?

[forest palm]

whenever you're at a blue port hit the diamond on the top left of the hud

[viscid swift]

well no

it's very much on a case by case basis

[oblique mortar]

thanks

[undone plover]

u can change for free once every 24 hours

[real folio]

damn, i was asking since i wanted to start working on aegir now that i maxlb FdG, can i at least postpone it?

[viscid swift]

I would prioritize getting agir to dev 30 yes

[real folio]

alright, thanks for the help, i got to work on these 2 since the rest are locked behind fleet tech 😛

[desert epoch]

If a want a fleet full of DAL chars, who should I put as Vanguard?

[ivory pawn]

You should put 3 DAL ships as the Vanguard. How convenient that there are 3 DAL ships that can be in the Vanguard.

[desert epoch]

I mean the position that takes the most damage on Vanguard

[stray crane]

should i grind 12-1 or keep pushing ?

[ivory pawn]

Kurumi. Tohka in off-tank. Twins in the center.

[desert epoch]

Alright

[ivory pawn]

Whichever. It’s one of the two preferred farming spots, along with 12-4. You’ll basically be spending the majority of your naval career in those two.

[sharp delta]

so i only get the retrofitted version ?

[ivory pawn]

The greyed out one is if not retrofitted.

[stray crane]

i see

[pine whale]

• What's the difference between red and yellow?
• What's the difference between aqua and green?

[forest palm]

Red is an high in demand material used to uncap ships past 100
Yellow is a material that is heavily gated and used to uncap ships past 120

[sharp delta]

Blue is SR green is UR
RED is for getting your ships to 120 yellow is to get to 125

Blue amd green are universal blueprints that can be used to upgrade ships you research in lab --> shipyard

[pine whale]

Ah. What is research for

[sharp delta]

If you want ships like Kearsarge or Roon

[tulip tinsel]

you gather mats, coin cube and xp to build a ship, then get even more bps to get them mlb

[pine whale]

Ah, I see. No other ways to get those?

I suppose that, in absence of more event medals, I go for red and yellow, right?

[sharp delta]

Nope. Grind grind grind to get the PR and DR ships (PR= SR researched ship, DR=UR researched ship)

They all have DMG boosts in Operation siren too

Which operation siren is where you get the materials to research and build better weapons. That you see in the gear lab.

You also get a meta ship there

[small quarry]

The numbers presented on the Azur Lane Wiki are accurate and serve as a basis for combat power. ?

[sweet delta]

Combat power is a useless metric, and idk where on the wiki it provides that number except a formula

[tulip tinsel]

i think i remember something about that on gear page or smth, but it's still useless

[small quarry]

I'm referring to the numbers in the table; are they correct or did someone write them down randomly?

[sweet delta]

They're mostly automated according to mined game data

[forest palm]

pretty sure that data observable in game

[pine whale]

There we go.

[sweet delta]

So they are trustworthy

[pine whale]

What about this then?

[tulip tinsel]

yes

[pine whale]

Thank you so much. All of you. I'll rememeber it in the future. At least I hope. (I don't trust my memory)

[small quarry]

I'm having trouble with "Air Strike" and decided to research Shinano and Hakuryuu, just out of curiosity. Aside from HP, Shiano loses in most matchups. I just wanted to know if those numbers are accurate. / (It's just a layman's question, don't take it personally or use it as a means of dispute.)

[sweet delta]

Shinano is the better ship due to skills

[small quarry]

So, skills here can outweigh numbers, even if there is a gap between the main competitors. 🤔

[atomic solstice]

skills make up a huge part of a ship's strength, yes, and they aren't reflected in numbers

[sweet delta]

Skills can outweigh stat differences, and stat differences can outweigh skills

All new players and most old players also don't know which stats are important or even what each stat does

And 99.999% of players don't know when the skill description in game is lying to them

What it means is that you can just consult #bot-spam /tierlist or ask #gameplay-help what ships are good or worth to get. If you really want to learn how to judge by yourself, then you can start with

/wiki damage calcd

[small quarry]

I'm not a fan of comparisons, but sometimes it's good to have an idea. I'm just trying to advance as quickly as I can with team Elite, but this 'Air Strike' is too boring.

[odd root]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Damage_Calculations

[sweet delta]

Idk what you mean by Elite and Air Strike

The new player guide is designed to let you advance as quickly as you can without paying https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[small quarry]

I'm going with elite ships and 1 SR, and "Air Strike" refers to those attacks while ship moving on the map; it's taking away a lot of HP right now.

[sweet delta]

What is your fleet ? You shouldn't be meeting airstrikes or ambushes at all

[atomic solstice]

does musashi or vanguard have flagship prio?

[sweet delta]

Your problem is you're using 2 BBs and one of them Kirishima is pretty useless

[small quarry]

Unicorn, Portland, Kotori ,Z23, Kirishima and California

[sweet delta]

Limit break and enhance your unicorn but idk if that'll be enough for recon

[clear harbor]

Sushi, if I'm asking myself "Am I still a new player?" does that mean I'm a new player for the purposes of prioritizing Gear Lab crafting?

[sweet delta]

I think the paragraphs above defines new player

[small quarry]

I can only buy one elite character in the Guild section once a month ? I wanted to buy Helena.

[sweet delta]

Don't change any ships now

[small quarry]

as if I had another choice 😂

[clear harbor]

For what it's worth, the guild shop refreshes twice a week, and you can use the guild tokens to manually refresh.

The Medal shop (the currency you get from retiring ships) is one of the shops that rotates once a month.

[small quarry]

Helena can take Kirishima's, i spend guild points, I just won't use cubes, I'm saving them for that UR event.

mom im rich

[molten violet]

[clear harbor]

Maybe I'm overlooking something. I don't see a definition for a new player, but this information is helpful.

Somewhat related question (for anyone not just Sushi), I didn't realize I could buy Bréguet BR.810 from the core shot (some how missed that). Should I work on buying 2-3 fo those to replace the yellow Barracudas I have? Aside from the Wyvern, my yellow Barracudas are the best parrallel torp bombers I have.

[small quarry]

Actually, there's a problem: Helena is in the front fleet, while Kirishima is in the back, lol. Who would be interesting here: California, Nevada, Kirishima, or Prince of Wales?

[stray crane]

why not save up and buy independent

[clear harbor]

Right now gear is more of a need for me than ships, I think.

[stray crane]

i dont know how new u are but they told me to trade Bréguet BR.810 cause i only run one BB in my fleet and i already got the white and black shell

[sweet delta]

Again, don't replace any ships now

[small quarry]

A layman's question: why are San Diego and the other girl glowing? And in Unicorn's case, would it have something to do with retrofit? I have to do a mission like that; would it be an awakening or a treasure for her?

[small quarry]

I'm just collecting a lot of resources and accumulating them at the moment lol 😭

[stray crane]

its their retrofitted version

[sweet delta]

You're absolutely right! I apologize for the confusion. There is a definition for non new player of "players who have quite some Gear Lab materials." So I guess new player is someone who hasn't done much opsi

[small quarry]

Each gacha has a new and different way to elevate a character to another level... Since I'm obligated to do one, I'll try Unicorn.

[stray crane]

yeah do unicorn first she s very powerful

[clear harbor]

No apology needed. Thank you for all the work you do helping the community.

[small quarry]

This instruction is for craft, or can I do it in a different tab? I tried searching on my own, but I couldn't find it.

[clear harbor]

What are you looking for?

[small quarry]

That image you sent, would that be for creating weapons? Through craft or through research?

[ocean terrace]

it's from gear lab, something you unlock at level 60

[ivory sigil]

I got skeptical

So what's the beneficial to mlb with 1 yamai + 1 SR bulin instead of spend 8k pts for 2 yamai to save up 1 SR bulin?

Like... an SR bulin = 8000 pts?
For oil conversion, 8k pts is equal to 5000 oils

[small quarry]

😭 oh hell... thanks

[clear harbor]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab
As Husky mentioned, through Gear Lab.

[ivory sigil]

How do often veteran player use SR bulin nowadays?
-# assume they already got their proper 2 3 fleet ready. Iirc they also mention they also Retire the Elite Bulin due to too much

[undone plover]

as often as needed
I dont think anyone is at the point where they have full MLB all SRs

[undone plover]

well depends what u want to do
if u want to MLB all ships u shouldnt retire any bulins

[whole crypt]

what do you guys do when that one gear skin refuses to drop

[clear harbor]

I am usually limited by gold, as it's needed for other things. But every now and then I'll work towards MLBing a rando SR to make more room in dock.

Edit: I'm not a veteran player, but I've kind of reached the point where I feel like I'm starting to transition out of new player status.

[undone plover]

not check so I dont know what I am missing

[stark quiver]

Grind more

[ivory pawn]

Cry.

[tulip tinsel]

im at the point that i need bulin and not gold which is worse

[stark quiver]

Same too many retrofits

[whole crypt]

but all the excess points and I only have less than 10 hours left plus I need sleep

[stark quiver]

Sleep? Or get a limited skin that might be gone 4eva

Or you can do what I did during the hvar farm era

[grave cove]

Just got my first UR pitty. Im assuming I pick Musashi?

[whole crypt]

I could just give up and use that box selector

[grave cove]

Ty

[ivory sigil]

I mean technically i should save up SR bulin as a newbie
-# But SR bulin is like giving 1 every week. So it would take 4 week to mlb 1 (assuming 0 from event/ and 0 from cruiseBP), I already skipped Alamaba in BBshop medal due to lack of SR bulin, but now her shop is long gone could take 3-6 months to return... like how much SR bulin can i hoarded after 3-6 months. So far i only think about LafeyII rerun, i dont plan to mlb all, except the one that recommend by fleet tech

[pine whale]

I don't have enough currency for both. And I don't think I can get the final Kurumi, so, which do I choose? SR Blueprints or UR Blueprints?

[tulip tinsel]

you bought chips? if yes UR bps

[pine whale]

Alright. Thanks

[tulip tinsel]

if you do pvp you get more

[ivory pawn]

Do your PvP, use Merits to buy more gold bulins as needed. Which reminds me, I need to do my PvP.

[tulip tinsel]

you can even lose it doesn't matter you still get merits

[ivory sigil]

-# Hmmm i need to save up 20k for Le malin muse ngl

[grave cove]

I only have Kotori left to get for the event is there any worth doing pulls for her beyond collection?

[gilded carbon]

you will get merit from both fighting and from ascending ranks, the later is quite a bit of merit too

[tulip tinsel]

if you have more than 400 cubes, otherwise just save for laffey2 rerun

[grave cove]

500 atm

[tulip tinsel]

there's no pity so it's risky

[ivory sigil]

Well she feel very nuking for a newbie
Meanwhile for collection purposes, she is not coming back due to being a collab ship

Tho i really feel unfortunate for ppl who can't lucky to get her.... (especially the guy that got 7 tobichi origami in a row)

[undone plover]

well this is the amount of gold bulins you need for backline recommended tech only just for a perspective

[ivory sigil]

💀 wtf that even more than my 150/150 dock

[tulip tinsel]

53mlb gold ship

[ocean terrace]

is there one for the IB tech route
(Roon -> FDG -> Agir -> Meck?)

[ivory sigil]

Ok, i guess i mlb the necessary immediate instead of hoarding them

[viscid swift]

well I don't have all the collabs but

[undone plover]

what do u mean

[ivory pawn]

What tech, RLD & HIT?

[undone plover]

RLD HIT AVI and FP

the cog chip amount is not correct since I didnt tick all the ships
but ticked all the SRs for the calculation

[ivory sigil]

bro is speedrunning meta this time after oath Prinz
-# i know my flandre suckass but she still a BB in a small body

Btw can i ask what is the favorite thing u like about Prinz can u tell?

Beside the story of owning a gifting storage
https://tenor.com/view/prinz-eugen-gif-22782890

[ivory pawn]

0 gold bulins, but your mileage may vary: https://azurlaneecgc.com/fleet_technology/

[undone plover]

we like to keep this channel for gameplay stuff
but you can talk eugen in #al-general

[undone plover]

does this include non tech stuff

[viscid swift]

I mean has pretty much every ship in the game at 120, let alone MLB

[whole crypt]

that's what's left

[stark quiver]

I still need to oath itsuka

[undone plover]

damn nntktt is the og boomer

[whole crypt]

yes we all need to oath Shidou

[boreal wagon]

-# i did not think anyone would actually use non-mlb marking

[whole crypt]

accuracy

not that it affects the bulin count or tech, and I'm not marking my 125s

[stark quiver]

Does San Francisco give good tech

[viscid swift]

FP

[stark quiver]

And brooklyn

For both?

[whole crypt]

Brooklyn is CL RLD

[viscid swift]

I think reload

[boreal wagon]

well u can only do it to META/UR/DR anyway in my tool since only CN has that stupid no level cap shit

[stark quiver]

Good enough

[whole crypt]

both are HP for obtain

[undone plover]

this was the good ch15 plane correct?

[viscid swift]

yes

[stark quiver]

Also do all of you guys already have 404 at mlb and 125

[viscid swift]

I do

[whole crypt]

should I say of course?

[stark quiver]

I should get to grinding then

[undone plover]

~~and 200 affinity ~~

get her to 90 aff with dorm dont forget

[whole crypt]

I only consistently oath for main fleet because timing

[stark quiver]

Dorm or secretary

[boreal wagon]

dorm

[undone plover]

i meant secretary yeah

[stark quiver]

I oath for PvP only

[boreal wagon]

how long do you want him to suffer damn

[whole crypt]

3 years probably isn't enough

only 2/6 of my PvP fleet is oathed

[stark quiver]

[ivory sigil]

So... playing in a Little Enterprise server.
cons is not able to adding friend to oldbie
But in return able to reach higher rank in merit??

Wait when did Little Enterprise server 1st arrive?

[undone plover]

perhaps
even little E is 2.5 years old at this point
idk if the pvp is that different tbh

[stark quiver]

I can reach aotn in every server
But little enty does have easier fleets 100%

[undone plover]

~march-april 2023 iirc

[whole crypt]

friends don't really do much
on the other hand you still won't have an easy time at PvP as a newer player

[dapper willow]

Anyone has an effective comp for chapter 15?

[whole crypt]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15/

[ocean terrace]

I managed to reach Captain last week before the reset by just targetting the weak fleets

got myself a lovely SR bulin from that

[sweet delta]

I thought lile is the tryhard Smurf server

[tulip tinsel]

yall when is next wishing well? i want perseus ahhh

[stark quiver]

I reached aotn unintentionally last week

[undone plover]

should be May-2026

[dapper willow]

Jesus

[stark quiver]

@undone plover are there a lot
Of super try hard fleets in lil e

[undone plover]

i lose to 2-3 ppl if I afk sometimes
but I hover around 500-1k rank when I start to spend my attempts cause I forget pvp

[stark quiver]

don’t lose

[whole crypt]

I haven't hit aotn in like at least 2 months because I just keep missing too many attempts

it helps I have 0 urgency with merits

[stark quiver]

Neither do I

[whole crypt]

can average 110 DAL fleet manage 13-4

[uneven knot]

in opsi do you guys even bother with c3 and below coords?

[cobalt gate]

so i feel like the game is crashing more often? any settings i need to change?

[viscid swift]

yes

[undone plover]

where is it crashing specifically?

are u on phone?
are you on emulator?
probably best to ask in #tech-support tho tbh

[cobalt gate]

other than island, it crashes randomly at start screen or store on phone

[undone plover]

try #tech-support channel

[cobalt gate]

gotcha

[ivory sigil]

-# Cheeky can i ask a side question what is your favorite belfast outfit so far?

Im able to reach ch9 for now but the cost for my fleet is like 75. Technically to unlock hardchap9 it would cost like 12k oil... (i might not done it even if play all night from 0am to 5am)

So should i try my best to unlock it, or stay at hardchap8 instead?

i forgot to address the requirement for TPR stuff

[proper violet]

This my boss and escort, katsuragi is kind of a placeholder so is portland anysuggestions on replacements and who to replace?

NJ goes for one

[tulip tinsel]

[viscid swift]

Monarch as well

[proper violet]

Who are good replacements for NJ and Monarch?

[viscid swift]

what have you got to work with

[proper violet]

Don't mind the bulins I am slowly but surely trying to use them, but purp drops all the damn time so no bulins used ;_;

[undone plover]

your screen recorder also records audio just fyi
