[ocean terrace]

pretty sure she's Enterprise level

[proper violet]

Oh dang

Tysm working on those now

[brave rover]

oumi augment?

[ivory pawn]

The sword, as usual for BBs.

[brave rover]

ty

[clear harbor]

My dumb butt went for Meck as soon as she was released not realizing how slow it can be to Dev 30 a non-coinaable ship.

[ocean terrace]

wdym by going for her, like starting to develop her? or getting tech points for her

[chrome flower]

Where do you get gifts from?

[forest palm]

from the Island Game

[chrome flower]

I hate that uhhh

[kindred flame]

Great variety of waifus, you even got tohka 🔥

[ocean terrace]

what does this mean...

[proper violet]

Yeah got the whole collab, and got origami last, so I need to dump 4 SR bulins on her

Same with owari I guess

[kindred flame]

Funny, for me origami was my first, but I couldn't get kurumi, stupid emulator decided to fuck me up

[proper violet]

I got all of kurumi from the event rewards, and like 1 from the event pull

[tulip tinsel]

kurumi is not in construction pool

[proper violet]

Oh yeah, got kotori in pull

[undone plover]

probably a bug/desync or w.e
reload the game should fix it

[soft mantle]

How can i do this mission?

[tulip tinsel]

use 40 t1 xp packs, under ship level

[chrome flower]

You earn EXP packs either from playing games, or doing daily missions. They are the little white books with "EXP" on them usually with a blue or black background, you can then press on a ship and under ship level, if you press it, you can apply the books

[soft mantle]

These?

[forest palm]

pick a ship → tap xp bar → spend 40 done

[ivory pawn]

No, but you should tap those and then tap Analyze.

[viscid swift]

these

[chrome flower]

Circled in red

[soft mantle]

Yeah,ive found some,how do i use it in this screen?

[forest palm]

"boost EXP"

[soft mantle]

Oh i see it now sorry

Thanks yall

Btw is lvl 100 the max lvl? Also how good was the collab ships?

[knotty jolt]

ships can go to lv125 and the collabs are fairly good with the vanguard being stronger then the main fleets

[soft mantle]

Does the vanguard means the ones in the back or front

[knotty jolt]

the ones in the front moving around

[soft mantle]

Oh allright thanks

Also kinda personal but i have kurumi's skin and wanna buy another date a live collab skin but only have so to only buy one,which one youd recommend?

[knotty jolt]

Personally if these are free gems from doing campaign etc

spend it on dock space or a third dorm slot and second floor

[soft mantle]

I bought the 300 gem packed just so i could get one more skin lol

Though im not sure which to buy still

[knotty jolt]

If you plan to play for awhile and not just do collab then drop the quality of life upgrades are prioritized, if you do plan to just drop after the collab then quite literally do whatever does not matter

[ivory pawn]

The answer's purely subjective. I could list a skin but it's a horrible answer if you don't like it.

[viscid swift]

the skins are just dynamic so what you see is pretty much what you get

[soft mantle]

Yeah,also would the collab rerun?

[knotty jolt]

50/50

[viscid swift]

assume no until it does

[ivory pawn]

Unless it reruns, it will never rerun.

[knotty jolt]

for awhile collabs never reran and the first to do so iirc was SSSS gridman? or was it dead or alive? But since then they've done some reruns

[viscid swift]

a grand total of 3

[knotty jolt]

but whether or not they will for each is still entirely random to the wims of money

[viscid swift]

well no

they were to conincide with something from the other Franchise each time

[knotty jolt]

[viscid swift]

DOA was for that game's anniversery, Griddman was for the new movie, and Ryza was for the release of Yumina

and some collabs will just never rerun

[soft mantle]

Tbh i think its purely if both collab partners can earn money,take nier x nikke for hand,both has their collab rerun with much earnings

And if im not wrong both nier and nikke didnt has something special like a anic or something was going on while it happened,their collab was their way to earn money

[viscid swift]

well based on the data I have for 2 of the reruns collab reruns consistently bomb in terms of revenue

[next escarp]

Can I use tallinn as CA for W12 and higher?

[rain vine]

definitely works in 12
should work in 13, depending on who else you have
garbage for 14 and 15

[marsh tusk]

If you disassemble a PR ship can you get them back by researching them again?

[viscid swift]

you can't retire a PR ship

[marsh tusk]

thanks

[clear harbor]

I fully researched her even though she's forever away from being Dev 30.

I still have ships to coin, so it's not a huge opportunity cost, at least.

[ocean terrace]

oh right so you've researched her but you're focusing someone else now since you can't develop her

well at least you have her unlocked for the future

[next escarp]

I see, thanks. Can I have some recommendations of my current CA ships who should I invest in for W12 and higer maps. These are my CAs as of the meantime...

[clear harbor]

Well, I'm focused on PR8 research. It's just slow.

[ocean terrace]

oh I meant like focusing on developing someone

[clear harbor]

Oh yeah. That.

[ocean terrace]

Mecky gets her skin soon

[next escarp]

Exeter good for W12 or higher maps?

[knotty jolt]

pretty much anything can do w12 and below so long as they're properly leveled and geared. Once you reach w13 things narrow down heavily.

[next escarp]

Thanks friend

Is she better than portland, I find portland second skill unusable due to synergy for indie.

[hybrid forge]

Hey, how do I get the Michael?

[iron ridge]

Which date a live ships is best?

[iron ridge]

Get points

[hybrid forge]

?? How much?

[viscid swift]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[viscid swift]

it's from one of the missions, can't rememebr the details

[hybrid forge]

It says "see all the side stories"

[hybrid forge]

Oh!

[iron ridge]

Kurumi is meta now?

[viscid swift]

depends on what your definition of meta is

[iron ridge]

Because of immortality?

[viscid swift]

she's not immortal

[iron ridge]

Only if clones are active.

[viscid swift]

super tanky on mobbing content yes, but not immortal

[iron ridge]

And on PvP and event stages?

[viscid swift]

also Eldridge retrofit exists

so being super tanky isn't that interesting on its own anymore

[tulip tinsel]

Portland 2nd skill useless

[iron ridge]

It can be useful for pvp?

[crimson pecan]

Guys can i still get the essex retrofit item?

[tulip tinsel]

1-2years

[crimson pecan]

💔💔

[viscid swift]

ask #pvp but from what I've seen probably not

[iron ridge]

Alright. Tohka yatogami is also useful but it needs an unique augment, right?

[viscid swift]

yes

they all do really

[iron ridge]

Alr, thx.

[crimson pecan]

any recommend video about equipment tutorial?

Or guide

File not found

[tulip tinsel]

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

this one

[crimson pecan]

Thanks

[next escarp]

Can't they work without their augmented module

[viscid swift]

they can but it's a noticable performance drop

[brazen lotus]

Jimmys weapon vids have helped me quite a bit, dd, cl, bomber and aas https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6-XHQnZEfnk

[next escarp]

I see, thanks for the information

[reef bane]

is warspite worth retrofitting for new players?

[stark quiver]

No

[reef bane]

alr

[errant jacinth]

is there any quick way to get decor tokens? I'm like 100 off from buying the collab furniture set

[cobalt robin]

The quickest way would be to buy the decor coins pack for 500 gems (which I don't recommend AT ALL) otherwise getting decor coins is a gradual process by spamming commissions

[errant jacinth]

damn guess I'll just have to miss the set

[viscid swift]

you know you can buy individual items yeah?

grab what you can

[errant jacinth]

oh ty!

[viscid swift]

<@&460646206851252224> scam

[odd root]

eiji0x#0 got kicked.

[small quarry]

Does this task book, "HANDBOOK," have an expiration date, or will it only be completed when I finish all the missions? There's a mission for 30 recruits, and I don't want to spend any cube right now.

[ivory pawn]

No expiration date. Just do your daily light pull for now.

[viscid swift]

the latter

[brisk dragon]

do we know what next UR's faction might be?

is there some pattern they been doing or smth?

[viscid swift]

nope

[brisk dragon]

rip

what's the shop clear priority order again?

[hot aspen]

Guess I won't be getting that Kurumi the 3rd and Yoshino the 2nd.

[small quarry]

I need to complete this mission in a new match, because I've already tried repeating it on completed maps and it still hasn't finished. I set it up as requested and it's in the picture. 😭

[viscid swift]

you sure it's a CV and 2 BBs and there isn't a Battlecruiser or CVL in there

[small quarry]

kotori or prince of wales, kirishima unicorn , I'm still a beginner, but I try to see if I'm doing the right thing before asking; being a nuisance all the time is annoying.

[brisk dragon]

do we only have less than 30 common ships ?

[warm latch]

unicorn is a cvl

[soft raft]

Unicorn is a CVL and CVL is a different hulltype than CV

[brisk dragon]

i'm counting 25 in my dock rn. i have practically full collection so far " missing like 2 or 3 events ships and 2 or 3 farmable ships"

[soft raft]

We have 42 commons

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Category:Common_ships

[brisk dragon]

was using the extra purple bulins. MLB'd all elites
and done all the rares
then i started doing the commons

but i noticed there's too few

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaait. fk me mb
when they get retro'd they be listed as Rare

[viscid swift]

Kirishima is a battlecruiser and Unicorn is a CVL

[small quarry]

Where can I see this difference? It's kind of complicated, this CV and CVL thing on the character itself..... I'm basing this on that.

[brisk dragon]

totally forgot retro is a thing. that casson and downes dupes reminded since i don't see their main copies

[viscid swift]

to the left of the name

[soft raft]

Huh do they not do the additional + sign for CVs and BBs in-game that the wiki does

Never really realized that lol

[small quarry]

I only know that tanks exist because I saw a video and the guy said it's the ship with the + symbol. 😭

[weary gust]

If you mean Heavy Cruisers vs Light Cruisers, one class or the other are not inherently tanks.

[small quarry]

It's already finished, thank you for your continued support, I hope to count on you in the future.

[brisk dragon]

how is the essex retro? "legit just saw it"

[viscid swift]

kinda meh

jack of all trades, master of none

[small quarry]

only with that + symbol.

[viscid swift]

huh

[brisk dragon]

oh? shame

a retro after so long. i got my hopes up

[weary gust]

Yeah I still don't know what you're talking about. The + symbol next to the cruiser/CV/BB symbol does not indicate a tank.

[soft raft]

Not all Heavy Cruisers are tanks

There's a whole other hulltype (Large Cruisers/CBs) that entirely consists of tanks an there are some very tanky DDs and CLs as well

[sweet delta]

Do we dare ask what video you watched?

[small quarry]

You're confusing me a bit. Isn't the position I'm showing for tanker ships? Did I say the ship with that cross is a tanker? Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know. 🤔

[sweet delta]

I don't understand it

[viscid swift]

the symbol is just the hull type and ships even within the same hull type have wildly different capabilites

the left most position in the vanguard/front row is the position you want to put your tankiest ship because that position takes the most damage

[sweet delta]

96.5% of Azur Lane YouTube videos give bad advice

[ocean terrace]

is that 96.5% biblically accurate

[small quarry]

Don't tell me she should take Helena's place 🤔 ? Either the formation is correct. If that's not the case, I'm going to be furious.

[viscid swift]

wel Z23 should be off tanking with those levels

[small quarry]

Lots of missions to complete, and I used her as a guinea pig for almost everything. 💀

[sweet delta]

I mean in this case Portland is indeed the tank, but the statement that + means tank is just plain wrong

[small quarry]

I'll read it later; I can't just keep asking for help all the time. 😌

[rain bobcat]

• isn't tanking here

[weary gust]

What is Tohka's ehp anyways

[viscid swift]

128%

[crimson pecan]

What should i get in ur exchange, i have shinano, nj, musashi

[viscid swift]

is Musashi max limit broken

[ocean terrace]

what sort of missions should I be accepting in opsi?

[viscid swift]

everything

[ocean terrace]

mmm alright

[crimson pecan]

One more star

[ocean terrace]

are there punishments for failing to do them after accepting?

[viscid swift]

get a Musashi dupe then

[viscid swift]

that if you don't do them they'll hog the number of missions you can have active

[crimson pecan]

How bout other? Are they bad?

[viscid swift]

low priority

[crimson pecan]

Alright

[ocean terrace]

is that a proper event? do we know anything about it?

[soft raft]

wdym?

[rain bobcat]

LMAO

why does it look like its gonna be a KMS event

[soft raft]

Oh that

No that's a small prelude type thing

[ocean terrace]

if it's till 7th Jan, it's overlapping with the UR event no?

[rain bobcat]

yes because its part of it

[soft raft]

do daily missions to unlock story cutscenes that will hint at the next event (and likely heavily hint at the faction that will get it) and also get a shitty purple aux gear you will never use

[ocean terrace]

the 'next event' referring to the UR one?

[rain bobcat]

prelude>call to action>UR event

[ocean terrace]

what's the 'call to action'

I mean there only like 2 weeks before the UR event, they fit that many small events in that time?

[rain bobcat]

bonus exp to certain ships of the same faction as UR event

also a confirmation of what faction the UR event is

[ocean terrace]

if it was Iron Blood related, would all IB ships get bonus exp and would that contribute to research development (I'm doing Roon's right now)

[soft raft]

*Call To Arms
It's a "Prep week" that gets put out a week prior to a event where specific ships get XP boosts

Then when the event goes live, the 2nd half opens which is where the event's chat frame can be obtained

[rain bobcat]

only like 5 ships in the entire faction get a boost in exp

[soft raft]

Here's a example: https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Call_to_Arms:_Sakura_Empire

And alternatively there could be multiple factions (Including META) in a CTA like what happened for Soyuz's event

[ocean terrace]

so it's fully connected to the UR event? in terms of missions and rewards?

[soft raft]

for the ones connected to a UR event timeslot yes

all major events that arent collabs have a CTA

[ocean terrace]

oh I see

what other major events are there outside of UR ones?

[rain bobcat]

EN anniversary anda few more sprinkled throughout the year

[viscid swift]

I think the EN Anni is all that's left at this point

[rain bobcat]

yeah lol

we used to have atleast 1-2 outside EN anni

[soft raft]

What I mean by "Major event" in this context is the standard A/B/C/D event format with a 5 ship banner

[rain bobcat]

well we do still have 1

[ocean terrace]

in the case of a double UR event, would the call to arms be linked to both ships or the event shop one or gacha one?

[rain bobcat]

tempesta is still guaranteed every year

[rain bobcat]

the call to arm is just a bonus exp for 5 random ships they choose and when event happens it gives u a special profile frame if you get all ships

[viscid swift]

all the call to arms does is give an XP boost for ships that'll be in missions to get the exlcusive chat portrait for that event in game

that's it

[rain bobcat]

it doesn't in any way do anything outside of that

[ocean terrace]

was this the prelude to Soyuz's UR event?

[viscid swift]

that's Hakuhou's

[soft raft]

that is not the CTA

[ocean terrace]

I asked if it's the prelude

[soft raft]

Oh
then yeah

[ocean terrace]

so it's Mist Upon Silver Summits (prelude) which gives small rewards for random missions
then Call to Arms: Antartica (CTA) for bonus exp to UR event ship-related factions + missions related to UR event ships
then finally the UR event where you can unlock border/frame + the new ships

as an example ^^^

[viscid swift]

something like that yeah

and it's not related factions btw

I think it's ships that'll be in the story but sometimes it just seems like it's drawing names out of a hat

[ocean terrace]

ah got it

[errant jacinth]

wait is EN aniversary different from the global one? I thought there was only one ani

[sweet delta]

En is global

[soft raft]

There are 3 Annivs that the game observes

• CN in May
• EN (Aka Global) in August
• JP in September

[ocean terrace]

these missions in the CTA are only for the border/frame correct?

[errant jacinth]

ohhh interesting, does stuff happen for each server individually? like JP server doesn't get stuff for EN ani?

[ocean terrace]

then are the event stages of the CTA the same as the UR event?

[viscid swift]

nope

besides the Anni mail package which each server gets on their respective Anni

[fluid brook]

Do Collabs gets a Rerun?

[sweet delta]

Jpgets less stuff for en Ani

[errant jacinth]

oh what usually happens during ani's then? I assume UR reruns?

[viscid swift]

it has happened, woudn't expect collabs to get reruns though

[viscid swift]

JP and CN get a UR event, EN gets a large event

[soft raft]

CN and JP get new UR events
EN gets a regular SR event

And each anniv gives goodies including Gems and a Oath Ring, but you can only get the goodies for the region that you are in (So EN cant get JP and CN rewards and vice versa)

[fluid brook]

Ty, We are expecting a UR Event at last week of December r?

[viscid swift]

the 18th

[fluid brook]

a double one*

[rain bobcat]

18th

[fluid brook]

It was announced?

[viscid swift]

there's a stream on the 15th

[fluid brook]

Damn theres alot to catch up with, ty

[errant jacinth]

huh, do we know why EN doesn't get a UR event as well? are URs like super rare or smth?

[fluid brook]

Difference in time of Anni

[soft raft]

EN in Agust
JP in Sept
URs are spread out in Feb/May/Sept/Dec

IE We are way too close to JP Anniv to get one

[errant jacinth]

ohhh I see, so URs are like super rare

[ivory pawn]

EN gets one kinda nowadays with the Retrofits.

[soft raft]

Dunno if I would call 4 per year "Super rare" but lets just say there would be no way most people could recover their cubes if another UR event was gonna be the very next month

[sleek bolt]

Hey guys, does retrofitting Ijn Ise, into bbv, wont required dupe ?

[soft raft]

All retrofits can either use a bullin or dupe for the modernization node

[sweet delta]

No, URs are ultra rare

[errant jacinth]

maybe I'm misunderstanding what a UR event is? is it just a single UR is on banner (either new or rerun)

[golden moth]

This upcoming event after mainte is not a call to arms yea?

[soft raft]

There is the possibility of it being a 2 UR event (1 Gacha, 1 shop)

And UR Reruns are not part of that Feb/May/Sept/Dec count

[soft raft]

Correct

[errant jacinth]

ohhh so it's 4 new URs per year, with re-runs being interspaced throughout the year?

[ocean terrace]

does that mean we're having a December UR event, Jan Guam + Laffey II rerun and Feb new UR event?

[errant jacinth]

also 1 shop UR means what? pay straight gems for it?

[rain bobcat]

maybe, maybe not

[rapid shard]

Usally event currency or a special mission set to aquire the points for it

[soft raft]

That would frankly be dumb as hell if it costed gems

[errant jacinth]

oh so basically free if you just play the game?

[soft raft]

Yes

[rain bobcat]

nov-early next year is always a fucked period for ppl with low cube count

[ocean terrace]

why's it a maybe, is the maybe referring to the Guam Laffey II rerun?

[rapid shard]

Yep. 1 copy from the special missions and usally a dupe in the event shop.

[rain bobcat]

yes

[errant jacinth]

how much is a low cube count? cause I'm at like 200 :D

[ocean terrace]

I mean so is the gacha if you play enough for 400 cubes (event UR pity)

[rain bobcat]

that would be in the realm of "cooked if ur not lucky"

[errant jacinth]

cooked I fear 🫡

at least I'm new so I can grab stuff from the campaign still

[rapid shard]

Also. Depending on if they run a double UR event for Dec, if Gaum/Laff2 reruns when expected, which of the 2 is higher priority for Bulins? Asking cause if its a double event i wont have enough to MLB all 4 quickly. But can do 3

[north gorge]

we kinda need to know what the dec URs will be

[rain bobcat]

depends how insane the new UR is

but I would say all dec UR+guam is ur first mlb tentative

unless of course dec UR has a sub or is worse than laffii for ch15

[rapid shard]

Yeah I know Dec UR is still in the air. Just curious between laff and Guam on usefulness

[errant jacinth]

are all the URs goated? I've heard mixed things about unzen at least

[rain bobcat]

I would mlb guam over laffii any day

[north gorge]

More recent URs are better than older URs

[rain bobcat]

esp if ur lacking AA

[errant jacinth]

yeah I've heard new jersey isn't great (maybe misinformation idk)

[north gorge]

Unzen is good at her thing, but her thing isn't really needed

[rapid shard]

NJ is still very good but just overshadowed by newer URs like Lion Alsace etc.

[rain bobcat]

unzen, the ship I haven't used since last year

used her only once -- as secretary when her new skin came out to update my guide

[errant jacinth]

I was gonna pick her from the newbie handbook thingy so that's nice to hear

[rapid shard]

Honestly would reccomened shinano over NJ starting out. Strong CVs are hard to get early on. And there's a lot of Gold BBs that will be plenty good enough till you get better options down the road

[rain bobcat]

pov ur just losing cubes daily because of how shit research rng is

[rapid shard]

haven't gotten a single meck print in 5 almost 6 days now from.riggings

[errant jacinth]

I think someone told me that earlier actually but I just like NJ more 😭

[stark quiver]

pov i never lose

[stark quiver]

if you dont play for any like meta stuff go ahead

[rain bobcat]

eh I mean if you like NJ it's wtver go get her and buy her skin rn

[rapid shard]

Valid reason and I did the same lol just FYI they gonna be a dock warmer till you get them MLB

[errant jacinth]

I did that lol so I’m kinda locked into picked her now

how long’s it gonna take to MLB her?

[rain bobcat]

for ur enjoyment when you get her

[rain bobcat]

long ass time without bulin

[weary edge]

a while, dont use bulins on her

you're better off investing in another BB icl

[errant jacinth]

oh is she not worth using bulins on? so I’d just need dupes to MLB?

[weary edge]

yea

nj is on perma banner, so you can get her through UR exchange or pulling on perma banner (which you shouldnt do)

[ocean terrace]

what. ok there are clearly more to L2D skins than I thought there was.

[weary edge]

but even then, she isnt a priority on the perma banners

[stark quiver]

@rain bobcat how far along are you

[weary edge]

gooner hell

[rain bobcat]

ok so hear me out

[errant jacinth]

yeah I just do single pulls for the dailies 😭

[rain bobcat]

i've decided to do all 2025 skins and major 2024 skins while leaving out the other 2024 and older skins unless someone asks for it

[weary edge]

in terms of perma banner, you should get musashi > shinano > vanguard > then whoever u want

[rain bobcat]

stuff not done -- 2025 list will be finished within the next week or so

[weary edge]

unless u dont care abt that kinda stuff then just do wtv

[stark quiver]

you are fried

[rain bobcat]

ive completely disregarded the people in the "others" list because they either have small amount of interactions or too old to care

[errant jacinth]

this is MLB order?

[weary edge]

yes

[rain bobcat]

ill release the WIP page by december UR

[stark quiver]

its december

[errant jacinth]

I’ll probably get favs for now before I start caring too much

[rain bobcat]

yeah

[stark quiver]

damn i en

[errant jacinth]

at least for secretary purposes

[rain bobcat]

musashi is worth using bulins on btw

the rest no

[weary edge]

i havent mlb'd her yet, im waiting to see who the new dec UR is

[errant jacinth]

she’s the purple lady that was featured in the event before the collab right?

[rain bobcat]

yes

[sinful relic]

does the event end soon?

[rain bobcat]

4hrs

[errant jacinth]

cool I’ll just save my 2 bulins then 👍

[sinful relic]

i don tthink ill be able to get the last 1

[stark quiver]

yeah

[sharp furnace]

guys, is there a recurrence for ship summon selector that they brought before, i want to get Albion.

[rain bobcat]

use her on boss fleet and spam event

boss fleet as in very very last fleet of the battle

so fleet 4 for sector 6

800 is not that much

[sinful relic]

awit wuh? colition?

i only have 1 team.

[rain bobcat]

just run that team then

that's very doable with 2nd floor dorm unless ur clear speed is down in the ditch

[sinful relic]

i dont have 2nd floor dorm just yet, i think im like one expansion away

however everyone is at 150 morale so i should be good, and my oil reserves are pretty good with me reaching ch9

[grim siren]

You can get her copy in under an hour or more

[sinful relic]

it takes about 500 oil with my fleet, for 5 runs of solo normal mode. is that any good?

[soft raft]

Dunno
Depends on if RNG wants to be a complete asshole or not

[grim siren]

Tbh, oil to event currency wise, it's worth it for coalition yes

And potentially free gear skin aswell

[sinful relic]

sector 6 btw

i cant do hard mode just yet, kurumi is suffering XD

[ocean terrace]

you can start researching a PR/DR ship once you've finished researching (not developing) your current one right?

as in, I can develop a ship while researching another, or would I have to finish developing one to start research on another

[grim siren]

Do you have preloaders? Spam preloaders at fleet IV

[sinful relic]

i can show you my current ships if you want see if i can manage to cook up a 2second team, but honestly i dont think i have enough ships.

[soft raft]

You can only work on 1 research ship at a time
Once you fully develop and obtain a research ship, you can start on another one immediately

Otherwise you can switch between multiple incomplete ones at once, but you get hit with a 24 hr cooldown before you can switch again

[ocean terrace]

so if my current ship isn't dev30, I shouldn't research another one, unless I want the 24 hr cooldown, got it

[stark quiver]

@rain bobcat do you have interactions for raffy skin

[grim siren]

You could make a thread and send your dock innit

[soft raft]

No that's not what I mean
there is no cooldown for working on mutiple ship's dev levels

[stark quiver]

Whats the fastest fleet for 13-1 hard

[soft raft]

Once you fully develop and obtain a research ship
IE when you complete the missions to unlock it

[ocean terrace]

well you used the word develop to 'obtain' a research ship, so I assumed you mean developing to dev30

I use the word 'research' to obtain a ship, correct me if I'm using the wrong terms though
and 'develop' to mlb the ship to dev30

[rain bobcat]

haven't done ill ping you when I do

[grim siren]

Developing, you mean like getting blueprints for the researching ships?

[ocean terrace]

well you can unlock a research ship by fulfilling research missions but developing is the process of getting it to dev30 no? by coining and/or blueprints

[stark quiver]

blud

[rain bobcat]

[olive grotto]

In operation siren, what the difference between the explorable and secured maps? I noticed there is an option to switch between the two on some of the zones

[grim siren]

Getting it to dev30 is blueprints or coins

[rain bobcat]

explorable is the map before u cleared it, it becomes empty after you clear it

[ocean terrace]

yuh

[rain bobcat]

secured is the "farm" version of the map, it has way less enemies

[grim siren]

Wait, like this development? Or this?

[ocean terrace]

nono my original question was whether you need to dev30 a ship to research (start unlocking) another, or if you can do it right after obtaining a ship (3 stars)
but they answered it

[grim siren]

Ah, my bad

Btw you could complete the ship's mission and hold it to save dock spaces

[rain bobcat]

blaster already answered but as a very simple explanation, they are separate things but you will be locked from transferring to unlocking a ship for 24hrs if you transfer from a non completed one

[sinful relic]

does operation siren affect morale?

[rapid shard]

Nope

[viscid swift]

no

[ocean terrace]

non-completed refers to one that hasn't been obtained (hasn't had it's research missions completed)

[sinful relic]

ohh thats good to know, what type of rewards are in operation siren? anything useful for me as early as i am?

[rain bobcat]

yes

[rapid shard]

Materials for crafting all the top gear is gathered by doing Opsi

[grim siren]

Yup, such materials to build equipment in the Gear Lab

[rain bobcat]

there is definitely the strat of doign all missions except giving coins and cubes away for all ships until you are close enough that by the time you level their skills to 10 they will be dev 30

[rapid shard]

Sooner you start the sooner you can craft better gear

[sinful relic]

ooh that would be handy, i think alabama would need some better gear considering shes my flagship/

[ocean terrace]

is there a way to see my accepted missions in opsi?

[rapid shard]

Information button down in bottom.right

[rain bobcat]

information

[sinful relic]

thank you btw. i accidently closed the gear guide but could someone link it again?

[rain bobcat]

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

[sinful relic]

much appreciated

[ocean terrace]

I think the bigger problem for newer players is fleet tech though

I'm only doing Roon to help me to get to FDG and Agir

[stark quiver]

when is chapter 16 releasing

[rapid shard]

Youll fairly quickly get enough fleet tech for all the ships. Northern and Sard tech is a but harder to get tho

[rain bobcat]

idk like within 2 yrs or smth

[stark quiver]

thats pretty long time

[ocean terrace]

yeah but I haven't pulled much for ships, I managed to get the DAL ones in around 100 cubes or so

probably will get lot more pulling for the dec UR

[verbal plinth]

we might see w16 on cn stream but shurg

[stark quiver]

i can prob steamroll it with how easy the game is these days

[rain bobcat]

ch13 was what 5yrs ago

ch14 was 2yrs ago?

[viscid swift]

4 years ago

[rain bobcat]

wait no ch14 was 4, 15 was 2

[viscid swift]

too busy working on shit like TB, Island, and 3D dorm to even be bothered to add a new campaign map

[rain bobcat]

realistically wtf can they even add for ch16

its just gonna be ch15 but 2x more subs realistically

or ch15 but its all bosses/elites

[viscid swift]

combine the surface threat of W14 and the aircraft of W16

[ivory sigil]

does these item disappear after game update?

[viscid swift]

we'll be fighting Battleships and Kamikazes after all

[rain bobcat]

yes

[grim siren]

Yup, use them now

[stark quiver]

ezaf
eld carry

[viscid swift]

datamine is out

CN Datamine Machine Translation 12/3/2025

[ocean terrace]

datamine for the UR event?

[verbal plinth]

pre pre event

[ocean terrace]

ah the prelude

[soft raft]

That wont be for like another 2 weeks or so
we havent even had the stream for the UR event yet anyways

[frozen stag]

W13-15 fleet help and gear

[daring sleet]

How do i get the Camael Augment ?

[whole crypt]

given the current pace of things we should get CTA next week with stream around the 13-14 weekend

[sinful relic]

uhm who is she? and can i get her anytime soon

[whole crypt]

Hakuhou, UR ship from this year's JP anniv event, will probably be back in 1.9 years for rerun

[soft raft]

Hakuhou
And no, she was the JP Anniv UR this year back in September and you'll have to wait until she reruns in roughly 2 ears

[viscid swift]

Hakuhou and she released 3 months ago

[sinful relic]

appreciated, at least i have a long term goal now

[onyx flame]

Check your mission > events

[whole crypt]

long term gaols in AL are more like "I'll just play this game with no aim for 8 years"

[sinful relic]

is there a way to stop the auto from picking fleet 2?

[onyx flame]

Adjust roles before you start the auto battle

[sinful relic]

oh?

[whole crypt]

before you enter the map on the screen where it lists your fleet selection, there's a roles tab
you can pick for mob/boss or all/standby between the two fleets

[grim siren]

Click roles, then all enemies

[sinful relic]

ooh thank you

[sinful relic]

appreciated

laffey is starting to take the most damage in my vanguard, is there any way to either swap her out iwth someone better or make her stronger?

[viscid swift]

have you checked your mail?

[whole crypt]

do you have any ships you want/can swap her with or do you just want to swap her position in fleet

[daring sleet]

Oh , i see.
Got it in the mail.

Thank you very much. @viscid swift @onyx flame

[wind hazel]

put her in the middle, give her purple toolkit+500/550 hp aux gear, increase her level

[sinful relic]

(she has torps cuz i had all other good aux's on another ships)

[wind hazel]

so do what i told you

[ivory sigil]

what the different in buyset and buyall,
and if i already buy some single individual
does it mean if i dont use those button buyset/buyall i wont able to deploythem automatically on set?

[onyx flame]

iirc buy set mean you buy enough to replicate, buy all means you buy all the extra pieces

[rapid summit]

Is this a new event?

[rain vine]

buy set gets 1 of each thing
buy all is self explanatory

[viscid swift]

it's an event prelude

[onyx flame]

prelude to the prelude

[rapid summit]

Ohhhh that’s why I can’t find anything about it on the wiki

[ocean terrace]

would we have to wait till the CTA to know which faction the UR ship will be?

[sinful relic]

moar story?

[viscid swift]

at least, and the call to arms have sometimes been cryptic as to which faction it is

[ocean terrace]

you mean name-wise right?

[viscid swift]

huh

[ocean terrace]

would you not base the faction off of the event name?

[viscid swift]

how could you

[ocean terrace]

or is it off the missions

[stark quiver]

secrets of the abyss doesnt sound like any faction

[viscid swift]

no I mean sometimes it will be Call to Arms: Iron Blood

[ivory sigil]

so.... i guess if that had Le'<something> they would likely be france (FFNF)?

[ocean terrace]

I mean this is clearly Sakura Empire

[whole crypt]

CTA will be more obviously but prelude-preludes can be anything

[viscid swift]

well this was Alsace's

Call to Arms - D

[ocean terrace]

this was Hakuhou's

[viscid swift]

Rodney Battleship (BB)
Queen Elizabeth Battleship (BB)
Helena Light cruiser (CL)
Kimberly Destroyer (DD)
Hatakaze Destroyer (DD)

and this was the list of ships on it

[whole crypt]

and then we have the bait CTA banners that showed us Soyuz

[north gorge]

As is being typed there is no guarantee that you can always pick the faction from the CTA

[viscid swift]

completely cryptic as to which faction it would be

[ocean terrace]

so you can't base it off the CTA at all, got it

[viscid swift]

and Imma be real, the JP Anni is always Sakura Empire

[whole crypt]

really depends on what he devs were high on when they name the event

[ocean terrace]

oh right I forgot about that

[whole crypt]

it can be something stupid and cryptic or it can be something fairly obvious
or it can also be obvious only in retrospect

[viscid swift]

well no, I just mean it's not always clear

[stark quiver]

how many active players does en have

[whole crypt]

don't think we have an official count

[stark quiver]

evil devs

[whole crypt]

like I'm sure the devs track their DAU/WAU/MAU but there's not much point letting us know

[grim siren]

This looks familiar, like the one in Bismarck Zwei event, the Tower

[whole crypt]

they can reuse backgrounds and doodads especially if they use the "same place"

[rapid summit]

Literally my first thought but we had that what 6 months ago

[whole crypt]

tower gets reused too much to mean anything

[grim siren]

do they have enough budget to slightly change its appearance, no?

[whole crypt]

if they paid their adobe subscription should be easy

[rapid summit]

The budget goes to the skins

[ivory sigil]

i see, hiring big name artist like asanagi is not easy i guess

[verbal plinth]

tbh its a picture people look at once id just reuse old ones

if most people even see it anyway

[drowsy quest]

Which pack do you guys recommend from blackfriday packs?

[onyx flame]

i would only buy the pack if you dont mind the skin rng and also want a discount coupon but even then its kind mm

[whole crypt]

118k points and still missing that one skin

[verbal plinth]

missing chair i gave up

[whole crypt]

like can they just sell a full set of gear skins for gems or some shit

[smoky citrus]

I'm debating on making a new mobbing fleet for my SE ships. Is a combo of Kaga, akagi and shinano better? or perhaps something mixed as Shoukaku, taijho and shinano? For the vangaurd i'm thinking all dds, so asa, hatsu and probs shiranui or shimakaze when I get her

[verbal plinth]

put them in war archive imo make them useful

[whole crypt]

mobbing fleet where

[soft raft]

Insert obligatory "Faction fleets suck ass" statement here

[smoky citrus]

eveery where till 12-4

[soft raft]

Also a mobbing fleet without a healer is way more likely to get completely fucked

[smoky citrus]

I also want to get pr points

[whole crypt]

then it practically doesn't matter as long as the ships are leveled and geared

[smoky citrus]

oh

[whole crypt]

do you mean for PR XP grind or do you want to get them to 120 for the tech unlock

[soft raft]

Then 3 ships of the required faction and are in the required hulltypes + 3 other ships

[smoky citrus]

both preferbaly, but pr is more important

[whole crypt]

because if it's for the XP you only need either vanguard or main fleet at any one time

[soft raft]

and you can just grind in W12, idk why you'd go anywhere lower than that for grinding, esp PR grind

[whole crypt]

120 also increases faction tech if you're missing points for say Shimanto

[smoky citrus]

huh, neet

[whole crypt]

but anyway if it's for PR XP just bring any 3 ships that fit the req

[smoky citrus]

got it. Thanks

[whole crypt]

preferably ones that aren't maxed so they get XP themselves

[smoky citrus]

yep thats what I was gonna do

[whole crypt]

is that a radar on a glass

[forest palm]

ya that looks like a radar

[whole crypt]

Melena shenanigans again I guess

[onyx flame]

fancy radar 🔥

[whole crypt]

formidable skill req changed from albacore to HMS gear

[forest palm]

so give her Fairy Ganat?

[onyx flame]

also is the stats for it fp and eva?

[whole crypt]

can she use it though

stop extended by 0.5s but nothing to improve the proc chance

[forest palm]

ah, wait I was thinking of Hornet

[whole crypt]

Noshiro new per 10s barrage and +RLD/HIT

wtf is astoria's aug lol

[timber crow]

I hate this game gacha, i got 6 tokahs, and 0 orihimes, how can i get moree cubeeees

[whole crypt]

play for longer or whale

[timber crow]

Booooo, f2p on my momma

[forest palm]

would you rather deal with Hoyo slop where you have to roll for a weapon as well

[polar lion]

What is the cut off date of skins available for black Friday sales?

[whole crypt]

unfortunately for newer players cubes will be in short supply before the stockpile adds up

[ivory sigil]

what does oilcap and costlimit mean?

[viscid swift]

/oilcap

[odd root]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/901103255935942706/969285900607553606/unknown.png

[onyx flame]

literally in 1 hour and 40 mins~ basically before maint

[ivory sigil]

does that mean if i only have 1 fleet i would still not benefit ?

[rain bobcat]

cant u just use sea hornet

[forest palm]

just said that

[polar lion]

No I mean the skins that got rerun for black Friday sales until which date

[timber crow]

I mean, i used 135 cubes

[viscid swift]

you could use the beacon but that might fuck the timing

[forest palm]

I assume July-ish was the cut off

[rain bobcat]

cn anniversary event

[timber crow]

Not really a new player

[viscid swift]

135 cubes is a not a lot by AL standards

[timber crow]

Reallyy?!??

[whole crypt]

I'm fairly sure I spent closer to 200 for this banner

[onyx flame]

that not even a hundred pull

[viscid swift]

that's not even a month's worth of guranteed cube income

[tidal meteor]

So Formi aug bad?

[whole crypt]

you need 400 for a UR pity too

[timber crow]

Then im fucked

[forest palm]

in a month you can got 168 guaranteed cubes if you work it you might get over 200 per month

[viscid swift]

you're guranteed 168 cubes a month, closer to 200 if you're active and as high as 250 and that's not accounting for all the one time sources of cubes

[whole crypt]

just keep playing consistently, you're guaranteed enough cubes to pity new URs if you spend diligently

[polar lion]

I can't find classroom Azuma skin

[timber crow]

True

[onyx flame]

you will still benefit, cause it reduce the oil cost to a fix amount for the fights, so instead of a full fleet costing like 70-80 oil per escort, its now 27 oil

[stark quiver]

When are the Black Friday skins gone

[viscid swift]

just under 2 hours

[stark quiver]

O shit

[forest palm]

does it seem like we're getting a USS event

[whole crypt]

what was the last new USS? Indiana?

[forest palm]

think so

[viscid swift]

yep

[whole crypt]

then there's fair chance we're back to sea of stars again for USS

[onyx flame]

alaska/iowa cope

[sinful relic]

so i gave laffey 2 toolboxes, is this good? she died on the boss for 9-1

she was middle for vanguard btw

[onyx flame]

What her position is she in? Is she sandwhiched?

[sinful relic]

yeah she was sandwhiched

[whole crypt]

most DDs want 2 HP auxes in most cases, but you'll want to ditch the blue one for better as soon as possible

[sinful relic]

all the other girls do extremely good, tohka and kurumi barely lose health

[sinful relic]

i have another purple but i need to ugprade

[whole crypt]

Tohka is just much tankier and Kurumi has strange regeneration shenanigans with her skill

[sinful relic]

LOL i love the way you said that

[onyx flame]

Moght also be bad rng compared

[sinful relic]

also do note Unicorn is about to Retrofit, but im just poor in the coin department

[whole crypt]

a purple toolkit will outstrip a blue one at the same enhancement, unless you're out of plates

will probably outstrip even before reaching the same enhancement

[sinful relic]

def

[whole crypt]

also level advantage might be making a difference if Tohka and Kurumi are higher level

[rapid summit]

Is this new event supposed to be for the new UR that’s coming or too soon?

[onyx flame]

Prelude to prelude prob

[whole crypt]

it's a prelude of the prelude

[rapid summit]

What now

[onyx flame]

Prelude to call to arms which is the prelude to the main event

[whole crypt]

the event should have its own CTA and a more direct prelude, this is a run-up to that

CTA and prelude are separate things

this probably means we'll have another junk aux in another week

[rapid summit]

Ohhh okk

[whole crypt]

it's basically just a filler "something is coming" event

[forest palm]

well we know the CTA is the 11th, and the UR event is the 18th because of JP notes

[whole crypt]

oh they already listed upcoming eh

[onyx flame]

Cn stream on the 15 right?

[forest palm]

there is no CN stream it's JP

[onyx flame]

Coulda swore i saw something about a stream on billbill

[whole crypt]

it's JP and I don't think they announced the stream yet

[forest palm]

only time there's a CN B2 stream is CN anniversary

[whole crypt]

oh they did announce a stream on 15

[forest palm]

I don't think so...

[forest palm]

ah it's on CN Boards

[onyx flame]

So i wasnt hallucinating

[whole crypt]

then chances are JP might be earlier and they'll just be "reannouncing" stuff for CN

[whole crypt]

that or they're streaming on CN because they couldn't secure the usual folks for JP

December schedules are hectic

give it a few more days to see if JP xwitter says anything

[forest palm]

there is some political fuckery going on right now, so might be...

[whole crypt]

well it doesn't involve traveling and data movement is still free

[sinful relic]

any of these decent?

[onyx flame]

Crystal is for cruisers

[whole crypt]

crystal is a decent eva aux

[sinful relic]

also before these go, anything i should grab?

[sinful relic]

got it

[onyx flame]

Prolly tech boxes

[rapid shard]

Chips are always worth grabbing as well

[sinful relic]

is there a nation i should prioritize?

[rapid shard]

USS then rest

[stone sluice]

I’d go chips

[onyx flame]

Ehh they are new ish still so the immediate gear will be more useful

[knotty jolt]

i mean second to prioritize would be iron blood after eagle union

[sinful relic]

noted noted

i have 980 left, i bought both iron blood and eagle union

[rapid shard]

Grab the HMS then as well. Cudas roombas and seafangs are great starting out

[knotty jolt]

either buy royal navy tech boxes or dump the rest on cog chips

your choice on that

[onyx flame]

Ill go with more boxes

cause i love gambling

[stark quiver]

or just grind more

[sinful relic]

HMS?

[onyx flame]

Royal navy

[sinful relic]

ohh

[knotty jolt]

we tend to use ingame and real life nomenclature rather interchangebly

[sinful relic]

i got the royal navy, i currently have 3k chips and i dont use them CURRENTLY i need more gear than anything

result of the gamba, anything i can use?

[rapid shard]

Chips will become a bottleneck in the near future once you get to world 12 and start leveling 4-5 ships at a time. Gear will help me you more right now but chips become a issue for everyone fairly quickly

[knotty jolt]

honestly that's not bad

[rapid shard]

All those golds are great ones. You got lucky

[knotty jolt]

you can technically use the purple quads and seafang till you get a gold

[rapid shard]

Purple seafang is a decent early option as well as the purple quad mags

[lyric night]

Am I missing something? Cant see any mission for Camael?

[rapid shard]

Dont use the messershit tho

[rapid shard]

Have you checked your mail?

[sinful relic]

what should i put those ones on? uniocrn and laffey?

this is what unicorn is currently using

[lyric night]

Oh thats awkward, claimes everything besides that lol

[rapid shard]

Put the gold Cuda on uni and gold mags on laffey

[knotty jolt]

Cuda and hellcat on unicorn

That's just gonna be a straight upgrade

[ocean terrace]

for recommended gear lab gears, should you only craft them once you can craft to the highest tier in one go?

since the previous versions might not be useful at all?

[forest palm]

most of the in between gear is typically crap, like Wyvern for instance there's no reason to be using a Firecrest

[rapid shard]

Depends on the item but most the time I wait till I can fully craft it.

[ocean terrace]

because I haven't been able to upgrade my gear for like 6 chapters now

[sinful relic]

is there a way to farm the common enchaning materials?

[onyx flame]

Thats like normal opsi grind takes a while

[knotty jolt]

Just do more battles, you'll acrude enough over time

[ocean terrace]

also struggling with opsi tbh, even the story missions are hard

dailies not so much

[rapid shard]

If its clearing then dont stress it. Takes quite a while to get enough mats electronics to craft meaningful stuff

[onyx flame]

Esp since if your newish the first few chap are basically a breeze
Most of your starting gear will come from boxes

[sinful relic]

go tit

[rapid shard]

What is your adaptability levels at? The 3 numbers on the side?

[ocean terrace]

I'll check in a bit

[sinful relic]

while im waiting for passive coin from my merchant. should i 3 star all the lower levels?

[onyx flame]

Tbf as long as your not fighting corrosion higher than then the roman numerial on the map your be fine most of the time

[rapid shard]

That does have a significant impact early on. You might just need to focus 1-3 corrosion levels before jumping to the 5-6

[onyx flame]

Just heal with repair boxes occasionally since you get so many

[knotty jolt]

Don't be afraid to use repair boxes really

[onyx flame]

If only they get turn to exchange vouchers 😔

[rapid shard]

Max effective point for the adaptability is 188/188/160 right?

[rain bobcat]

203 203 183

because the highest adap enemy is hard arbiter

[sinful relic]

whats the level for enemies on 9-4? and whats the recommended level for my fleet for that level?

[rain bobcat]

if ur as much as like 30 lower than that harbiter is basically like 40% more stats

[rain bobcat]

depends on how good ur ships are

but generally for campaign below w13 if ur the same level or slightly under with ships taht aren't compeletely shit ur fine

[sinful relic]

id say everyone but laffey are doing well. i hope the new UR is atleast vanguard.

[ivory sigil]

Wait u havent able to retrofit your unicorn?

Ouch, that proven abit on how a laffey in chap9 sink so easily

[sinful relic]

im poor in the coin department...

i was getting to 9-4 so i can finally coin grind for stuff i need.

[ivory sigil]

I think the concern is how oil is getting pile ups over time
You do get good coin from doing event tho sector6 tho

[sinful relic]

thats simply from missions giving me too much oil compared to what i use.

[ivory sigil]

You really need to use those overflow oil

[sinful relic]

okay so, my cycle is running out of coins, so i try to grind more, but my morale just dies, and then im at the state where i just need to wait , since i cant get the 2nd floor just yet. for the dorm

[rain bobcat]

how can u not get dorm by 9-4 is the amazing problem to ur situation

[onyx flame]

Rng with commissions

[sinful relic]

well im assuming 9-4 is like prob the best way to coin grind for where i am. i know theres higher areas but like

[rain bobcat]

you would've gotten over 2250 gems by the time you reach 9-4

how do you not have 2nd floor dorm

[onyx flame]

Decor coins is prob whats timegating em

[sinful relic]

^

[rain bobcat]

9-1 is decent

[sweet delta]

Collab furniture set >>>>>> second floor

[rapid shard]

Correct priorities

[sinful relic]

OH i should buy those shouldnt i

[onyx flame]

Well thats up to you idk if you can even get enough before it vanishes in 1 hour

[sinful relic]

where is the collab furniture? special?

[rapid shard]

I was joking, second floor is way way way more important than a furniture set lol

[onyx flame]

Its a whole set takes like 1.6k? Or something decor coin for the whole thing

[ivory sigil]

Well i did reach 9-4 in last hour and yes

moral, it does troublesome for me but whenever it happen i just kinda rest for abit, i havent upgrade dorm

I mean i kinda play 4 - 5 times a day and each time is like 2-4hours straight

[sinful relic]

i have 238 coins...

[onyx flame]

It is what it is

[knotty jolt]

[onyx flame]

That is an option

[sinful relic]

i uh spent all my coin on the cheapest furniture for as much boost as i could.

[knotty jolt]

idk how many gems i've spent for cubes and coins but if i did and told yall, you'd likely be genuinely horrified.

[sinful relic]

from the collab that is

[rapid shard]

ive done the same, and bought way way too many skins this current sale

[rain bobcat]

[sinful relic]

OKAY i managed to get to 29 comfort

[rain bobcat]

well to say the least, i emptied all my 2x bonus not including the 4900 since it was already gone and still ended with 0 gems this black friday

[rapid shard]

Im pretty sure it was roughly 17-20 new ones from black Friday sales

[onyx flame]

Saving for dr8 skin hope it good

[rain bobcat]

uh problem with that update is

updates for me finish at 3am, so earliest I can do a guide for the skins will be around 8-10am

[onyx flame]

Is okay interaction is cool and all but i mainly want them to look nice in default since that how i see em the most

[opaque galleon]

Is there info for the new augments yet?

[rain bobcat]

https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1445982264487051485 mtl

[onyx flame]

Formi with 2 wyverns trust

[rain bobcat]

nah u can defintiely just run hornet+2 vit-2

no way they're improving her dmg and rld by so much just to lock her to wyverns

good for me ig

I never liked implacable

[sweet delta]

how about beacon

[ivory sigil]

Tbh it is unfortunate that you cant play that frequent
Cuz most moral can be heal decent within 2-4 hour despite not using dorm

If you only have 29 comform that means you dont usually do much commission that give free oil / gold / dormcoin

To me that is a super value resources that kinda forced me to open game 20hours per days just to check those

[viscid swift]

huh

[ivory sigil]

Yea not kidding for 2 weeks i already complete 326 commissions

That is equal to doing 23 commission a days

[viscid swift]

that's not unusual

[ivory sigil]

For someone who login once or 2 or 3 time a day, they would only reach 4 or 8 or 12-15 a day (assuming they choose 1/4/8 hours comms)

[ivory sigil]

Is that true that Helena Retrofit is better than Helena Meta?

[viscid swift]

yeah, just read their skills and you'll see why

[west steeple]

Should I buy this?

[onyx flame]

Yea you should buy out everything in opsi shop cept from gibraltar, repair boxes and adapts

[west steeple]

is there a list for that?

I'm still unfamilliar with opsi cause I'm new

[ocean terrace]

they said everything but the things mentioned

so just don't buy repair boxes, adapts and anything from the Gibraltar section of shop

[sinful relic]

from the looks of it, my firepower is kinda lacking for 9-1 in order to complete S rank... hmm

[onyx flame]

Im assuming your in post chp4 opsi, so all the port shop consolidated
You basically clear out everything except from gibraltar shop and adaptability tuning + repairsboxes

[clear harbor]

Are people able to reliably buy out the Gibraltar shop? I've never come close to that.

[lyric stump]

Any looks op?

[west steeple]

well I just started chapter 2

[lyric stump]

Play everyday

[onyx flame]

Ah then just buy it and move on

[west steeple]

alright

[lyric stump]

Clear all sea. Daily mission. Weekly fortress

[clear harbor]

Clear all the zones and use all the coordinates, too? I play every day, but haven't been able to max out content yet.

[onyx flame]

I clear out everything cept adapts and repair and still got excess left over

[lyric stump]

The weekly fortress?

[clear harbor]

Ehhhh, Yeah, I need to do that. I've struggled with them in the past, so I've been passing on them.

[lyric stump]

U need that

[clear harbor]

Those are the ones I can go back, too, right?

[lyric stump]

400 to 600 purp coin each

[onyx flame]

Stronghold are easy cause you can just leave and heal

[lyric stump]

Max of 3

[clear harbor]

I meant those are the ones I can start, and bounce out to heal, right?

[sinful relic]

oh... you guys werent lying when 9-1 clearing rewards are good. got 1.5k coins from 1 clear... woah

[lyric stump]

I mean therd can mbe only 3 stronghold on map

[lyric stump]

Yes

[clear harbor]

Cool. Yeah, I got busy with holiday stuff and didn't try Stronholds until way too late. I'll try to hit them up earlier this time.

[lyric stump]

That is one of most important source of ur purp medals

[clear harbor]

When do they rotate/refresh? Thursdays or Mondays?

[onyx flame]

Monday

[lyric stump]

2 per month to start and 1 each monday

[clear harbor]

Ohhh, cool.

[lyric stump]

Opso is easy its just keeping up

[west steeple]

this is not worth buying right?

[ocean terrace]

isn't that in Gibraltar?

[lyric stump]

If u r rich enough buy out whole shop

[west steeple]

what is gibraltar?

[rapid shard]

Yep thats why your struggling lol just focus on doing all the 1-3 zones and build it up before trying 5-6

[ivory sigil]

what whose adapt is that

[lyric stump]

I mean its only 5 daysin

[ocean terrace]

mine

I barely finished Ch4 before the reset

and currently only one of my fleets can do the content in opsi

[lyric stump]

What is avg lv of ur fleet?

[ivory sigil]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK31N9mlo2M
but this video told that you can use the record thingy for maximum lvl

[viscid swift]

Oh fuck Neldrin

[ivory sigil]

i got kept my stats after the reset and thus still at lv5

[viscid swift]

Shitty guides made using a shitty ai voice

[lyric stump]

Looks nice just keep grnidng adapt or buy from shops

[ocean terrace]

I don't watch anyone on YT for Azur Lane other than suchi

[viscid swift]

The what

[rapid shard]

That fleet is strong enough to clear everything minus maybe c6 abyss bosses and fortress bosses depending on gear. Just need adaptive levels up

[onyx flame]

Stuff for meta ships are last to get so prob not infact you wont bother unless your raising meta ships

[ocean terrace]

used to watch Azur Lane Meta a couple years back

[onyx flame]

Should watch jimmy too

[viscid swift]

Why

[ocean terrace]

who jimmy

[stark quiver]

i want to

[ivory sigil]

i mean i dont know how to repair ship until i watch that video lmao

before that i just keep wasting 40AP-80AP to exchange my ally backandforth so they can automatically heal

[rapid shard]

Jimmy does super indepth breakdown focused basically on endgame stuff from what ive seen

[viscid swift]

I mean

[ocean terrace]

im not endgame. not even close

[stark quiver]

jimmy is only endgame which 99% of the playerbase isnt doable for

[viscid swift]

Some of his end game takes are questionable even if I get where he's coming from

[onyx flame]

I really only watch the vid explaining about gear tbh

[stark quiver]

i dont watch jimmy, but i do respect him

[rapid shard]

@viscid swift in your opinion is his weapon type breakdown vids explaining what makes good/bad gear accurate?

[viscid swift]

Also yeah

[stark quiver]

not bad

[viscid swift]

He's got a really dry sense of humor that you really have to be in the know to know when he's joking which yeah

[ocean terrace]

also should I use opsi to try level my weaker ships? they struggle in fleets over lvl 90 but at some point they could help make up my boss/mob fleet

[stark quiver]

and unlike some people he actually waits until meta level 15 day to test

[rocky tapir]

Where do I access the collections on the new UI?

[viscid swift]

I mean they're fine for what they are

[sweet delta]

will battle simulation be available on day 1 of meta showdown?

[lyric stump]

Which collecyion

[viscid swift]

But as just a quick reference they're poor

[rapid shard]

You dont really have the ability to at this time but eventually opsi can be a great xp source

[rocky tapir]

Like to see the ships I acquired

[viscid swift]

Also get outdated pretty quickly

[lyric stump]

Near where u click battle theres a tiny square with arrow on it

[viscid swift]

Under momentos

[lyric stump]

Next live is on 15th right? Ur event on18th?

[viscid swift]

Most likely yes

[forest palm]

there's a B2 stream on the 15th

[rocky tapir]

Thanks. I guess I am done with the event huh.

Coalition battle is such a nice addition.

[viscid swift]

I hate it honestly

[lyric stump]

Theres a event place to check whether u got ur things

[ivory sigil]

wait you did mention after opsi reset you only have 10k to buy stuff in shop... does that mean you have to wait for 1 month to get those voucher?

[viscid swift]

Worst event format we have

[ocean terrace]

I have 2.5k... and yeah I guess I have to wait a month

[rocky tapir]

I guess I like it because I can knock it down within a day.

[forest palm]

coalition are laggy as shit, and time consuming

[lyric stump]

Actual y u also use belfast as pfp

[rapid shard]

If they gave the coalition battles a "clear" bonus on gold it wouldn't be as bad. Gold rewards was horrible

[viscid swift]

I like her, she was a major reason I started playing, and my first oath, waited 6 months to get her

[ocean terrace]

which chapter in campaign are the event stage exp and coin rewards comparable to?

[ivory sigil]

-# what's your favorite belfast outfit

[lyric stump]

U can grind sub exp easier tho

[onyx flame]

Usually 9/10

[lyric stump]

6 months? Took me a week or smth also 1st oath

[viscid swift]

Yeah surprisingly there's a lot more things I care about than sub xp

[lyric stump]

Newest swimsuit

[viscid swift]

Oath skin

[lyric stump]

Sub xp is hard to grind af in nornal ( ok i didnt even grind it lmao

[onyx flame]

Qipao belfast also my first oath

[lyric stump]

O ya

[viscid swift]

Hardly, it's not difficult

[lyric stump]

Its annoying cause theres a limit of how much place they can go and amount of total attack

[viscid swift]

Especially now that we have xp packs

[lyric stump]

True, am too lazy and tgats what il do

[onyx flame]

Affinity on the other hand

[lyric stump]

Actual fuck submarines. When will i ever need them

[viscid swift]

Just set them to auto call and grind as normal

[sinful relic]

wait just realised i literally dont need to place furniture for it to count towards comfort???

[lyric stump]

Nop

[viscid swift]

No

[sinful relic]

im still gonna place them regardless cuz i dont like my girls sitting in a hobo area but its good to know regardless

[rapid shard]

Do you have to set it to auto call every time you x3 sortie or is there a setting i can turn on so it just defaults to auto?

[viscid swift]

The former

[rapid shard]

Gotcha, wish it would stay on last selected. Keep forgetting to change it so I can actually level my subs

[sinful relic]

when unicorn retrofits, does she automatically heal much better?

[stark quiver]

yeah

[viscid swift]

It does though

[sinful relic]

im about to retrofit her, its taking an ungodly amount of coins

[rapid shard]

I keep having to set it back to auto call on the roles tab before starting sortie. It defaults back to standby when I finish the runs

[ocean terrace]

wait till you retrofit SR into UR

[sinful relic]

san diego?

[ivory sigil]

warsprite

[sinful relic]

and uhh the one girl from royal navy yeah warsprite

[ocean terrace]

no don't do warspite.

expensive asf for a shit UR BB

[sinful relic]

whats wrong with warsprite?

[lyric stump]

Thought shes good now

[stark quiver]

expensive

[rapid shard]

Way to expensive for a new player to get fully retro+augment

[ocean terrace]

from the endgame sheets, she's close to the worst UR BB

[stark quiver]

@viscid swift how many spec core do you have

[lyric stump]

But the aug buff was prettty big

[viscid swift]

Over 100k

[stark quiver]

wtf

[ocean terrace]

I'm sure they took that in account

[ivory sigil]

are you building sandy? was she is for W14 or you're waiting for her aug ?

[ocean terrace]

I have her aug, just not retrofitting her yet

[lyric stump]

U can use sandy for all campaigns

[viscid swift]

It was, but in 2025 getting to NJ's level for single target bosses isn't that impressive

[sinful relic]

honestly the first girl ill swap out for a better one would be laffey.

[ocean terrace]

I'll probably retrofit Sandy after the UR event, need coins

[viscid swift]

And she's still a very poor mobber

[lyric stump]

How expensive is the retrofit?

[ocean terrace]

protocores for retrofit item too

[viscid swift]

60k coins ish plus 21k for the augment

And 3 gold bullins

[rapid shard]

19ish gold BB pieces as well

[ivory sigil]

the microphone ?you got it from event? or shop?

[ocean terrace]

no that's her retrofit item, not her augment

[stark quiver]

you cant protocore retrofit items

[sinful relic]

that does not sound fun

[ocean terrace]

whatever currency it is for UR bullins

[stark quiver]

[viscid swift]

Specialized Cores

[stark quiver]

yeah

[ocean terrace]

are they in the same shop though

[viscid swift]

Yes

[stark quiver]

I only have 50k

[rapid shard]

Same page different currency

[ocean terrace]

that's why I get confused lol

[lyric stump]

How u have 100k spec core? I started when spec core came out max 4k 5k every month only 60k

Ig u lucky on ur events?

[ocean terrace]

if I currently have 4 UR bulins and 5k spec cores, could I get 8 total by the end of the month?

[stark quiver]

i thought protocore and spec core had different shops

[viscid swift]

I play the game, simple as

[stark quiver]

i do too and i somehow have half of yours

[ocean terrace]

oh it's 2 UR bulins per month isn't it

[stark quiver]

idk

[lyric stump]

Jow many ur u pull from event usually? Cause i onlt get 1 and stop

[viscid swift]

You also took a 3 year break

[rapid shard]

Same page lol

[viscid swift]

I do the same

[lyric stump]

Then y u have much more?

[rapid shard]

Its like 2.5 a month counting all external sources

[viscid swift]

I dunno, though I doubt you've been capping out every month and buying all the ones from the medal shop if you've been playing longer than I have

[ocean terrace]

I'm in an opsi battle and maintenance is in a minute uh

[stark quiver]

damn

[lyric stump]

Lets say i took max 4 mknth break in total u r still 20k ahead of me

[stark quiver]

i lowkey forgot to do my dailies

[clear harbor]

Standard time is killing me...

[lyric stump]

O medal shop? I dont buy those lol

[ocean terrace]

I got lucky

[ivory sigil]

oh no 1 min left

[clear harbor]

Basically lost an hour of play each week. 😩

[viscid swift]

Yes those don't count towards the cap

[ivory sigil]

i still got 1 last hard map need to clear 😢

[lyric stump]

Y waste medal on spec core u got 100k

[viscid swift]

Why not

[ivory sigil]

noooooooooooooooooooo, does the reward keep if i finish it after the maintenance time?

[sinful relic]

rip event

[lyric stump]

I spent all on bullins

[onyx flame]

Prolly cause they got loads of medals too

[viscid swift]

I have 2500 medals after buying what I need

[sinful relic]

NOOO SERVER MAINTENANCE

[lyric stump]

Have 0 lol

[viscid swift]

Besides, cores are time gated, medals are not

[lyric stump]

I use up all i get per month on bullins and food for dorm

[ivory sigil]

OHNO I FORGOT TO CLAIM BOOK at 70k pts
AAAAAAAAA it gone fxk me minmax at 1 last min for nothing

[viscid swift]

I reiterate, I play the Game a lot more than you do

[viscid swift]

Event shop and milestones stick around for an extra week

[lyric stump]

Ig i do be lazy a lot of time. And i bet my hours drop after stop using emulator

[lyric stump]

Am 10lv behind 98.9 or 98.7

[onyx flame]

[sinful relic]
