[daring oracle]

fml just max lmb lion

[hollow gust]

Missing Lion

[edgy steeple]

that's what i got when Haku was new

[hollow gust]

???

[daring oracle]

I just maxed lion

[rain bobcat]

thats fine

[hollow gust]

Why is that a bad thing...... Lion is the best BB in the game

[knotty jolt]

lion is like top dog

[daring oracle]

powercreep

[knotty jolt]

idk if the new ship could beat her and even if they did second best isn't that bad

[daring oracle]

not like it matters tho

[rain bobcat]

[hollow gust]

Half a dozen ships would be powercreeped before Lion tf?

[viscid swift]

she'll last at least 2 years/s

[rain bobcat]

powercreeping a ship with like 25% more dps than the rest of the URs is a hard feat mate

[ivory pawn]

If a ship powercrept Lion, Lion would still be used next to them. A different ship would be the one to be dropped.

[stark quiver]

why are you shitting on them

i think just saying lion is great is more than enough

[rain bobcat]

I call too close

[daring oracle]

do we have any idea what type of ur it's gonna be this time

[viscid swift]

I doubt it'll be a battleship anyway

[viscid swift]

absolutely not as per usual

[rain bobcat]

inb4 iowa

[daring oracle]

tone ur when

[viscid swift]

allow me to rephrase, I will commit unspeakable acts if it's our 4th UR BB this year

[rain bobcat]

[viscid swift]

and 15th overall

[ocean terrace]

I'd like a UR BB

Are there tendencies in terms of whether it could be 2 main fleet ships, 2 vanguard ships or a mix?

[rain bobcat]

i mean we did get a CV in hakuhou

realistically though its either vanguard or CV

[daring oracle]

when was the last vg Ur?

[viscid swift]

Z52

[rain bobcat]

because 2024 was also BB BB CV CV

[fair lance]

Trafalgar was it not?

[viscid swift]

there's no real patterns

[ocean terrace]

If it's a vanguard with Laffey II and Guam rerun my vanguard is gonna be a whole lot better than my main

[rain bobcat]

a BB would be hilarious as fuck though

[daring oracle]

no UR cl yet right?

[stark quiver]

we've had 4?

[viscid swift]

2021: BB, DD, BB
2022: CB, BB, BB, CV
2023: CV, BB, CA, CB/DD
2024: BB, BB/DD, CV, CV/DD
2025: BB, BB/DD, CV/SSV, ???

[rain bobcat]

raffa lion meck

[stark quiver]

meck is dr

[rain bobcat]

4 if dec is UR

[stark quiver]

what can i say devs love their bbs

[daring oracle]

bbs more like big boobs

[eternal basalt]

even dds have those :/

[daring oracle]

missed out on z52s

[hollow gust]

please no more fucking BBs

[eternal moth]

WTB USS Midway

[viscid swift]

meh

[eternal moth]

But it'll probably be Lexy 2 instead.

[silk helm]

y not 🙁

[eternal moth]

Because there are way too many UR BBs as it is.

[velvet slate]

i personally would love a new USS UR BB, but i love battleships so im biased af

[eternal moth]

Any new USS UR BB is going to be an Iowa, almost guaranteed.

[stark quiver]

idc whats hull it is as long as its bad, its annoying having to constantly oath

[hollow gust]

we have 4 fucking fleets worth of UR BBs

[silk helm]

wow no CLs rip

[viscid swift]

gimme a Des Moines or a Worcester

[eternal moth]

Yeah, I'd love to see an upgraded version of Helena, or a ship with similar capabilities

[stark quiver]

I want a kashino retrofit

speaking of which i forgot to get her skin

[eternal moth]

It'd be hilarious to see the Barb and the Johnson as the next 2

[silk helm]

i forgot to buy the shimanto skin 🙁 i hope they bring it back soon

[rain bobcat]

[sharp socket]

no BC? st vincent surely

[eternal moth]

Who?

If you're talking about the WOWS version, that looks like it would be a DR to me, not something released in an event.

[mint fable]

As for the sole performance against Medium boss, who's better between Nakhi and Rumey?

This excluding Soyuz

[stark quiver]

Is the boss moving

[mint fable]

Yes

[stark quiver]

nakh is better since she has a slow

[mint fable]

Rumey better if the boss just stay then?

[stark quiver]

Yes

[mint fable]

Alright thanks

[viscid swift]

well, it is an N3 class battleship basically but boosted to 30 knots

[ocean terrace]

ooo they had collabs with WOWS for Nakhimov, did they do any other ones?

[viscid swift]

all of PR is a collab with WoWs

[ocean terrace]

wait really

[viscid swift]

yes

[ocean terrace]

all ships in PR1/DR1 to PR8/DR8?

[viscid swift]

yes, gear as well

[ocean terrace]

ohhh that's cool

I've never played WOWS but it has ships so

[sweet delta]

Good

[ivory sigil]

Hi

1st time seeing voting event, is there any benefit if we pick or not pick the top3 girl in the podium list?

[weary gust]

Aside from patting yourself on the back for not being a sheep in picking one of the top 3, no.

[ocean terrace]

vote Nakhimov

the only proof I have that my account was made 4 years ago are the 2021 popularity avatar borders I'm pretty sure

[weary edge]

well now everyone can get them 🤣

[ocean terrace]

yeah I think this is the only way to show it's 2021

I could be wrong

[sinful relic]

damn im not a true amagi lover if i dont have that

i think the game bugged, i claimed these two but it didnt give me the resources

[weary edge]

i started the game 3 months ago lol

[ocean terrace]

ah. so I've been scammed

[velvet slate]

they went into storage

[weary edge]

on the left side of ur screen where it says mail, it says storage, just go to that

[sinful relic]

OH! thank you

[rapid shard]

For W15 support fleet do skills level matter?

[viscid swift]

no

[rapid shard]

Thanks.

[urban mountain]

Would it be unwise to pull for musashi

[robust onyx]

Don't pull for permanent UR

[sinful relic]

whats the ballots used for?

[robust onyx]

Popularity

[sinful relic]

should i pull light for the 3 pulls?

[robust onyx]

1 light pull till next event

[sinful relic]

per day?

[robust onyx]

Yes

[sinful relic]

got it

[robust onyx]

Next event should be UR banner

[sinful relic]

whats this btw?

[robust onyx]

Side event

[sinful relic]

worth doing?

[robust onyx]

Not really, but easy to finish with normal running

[sinful relic]

noted

[verbal plinth]

Free rewards from just doing maps you aint really doing anything for it

[stark quiver]

yeah

[sinful relic]

ill try it after my 3 hard modes for tday

[weary gust]

Those hard mode stages might count for it ...

[zinc cave]

You don't really have to try, just playing normally will get it done eventually unless you play really lightly

[sinful relic]

i pretty play tilll my morale is gone

thank god i dont use as much oil, trying to 3 star all the maps

[ivory sigil]

can i progress this without having adapt6 ?

[knotty jolt]

yes but it might prove difficult

Biggest advice i can give, DON'T BE AFRAID TO USE REPAIR KITS!

[sweet delta]

It might prove difficult even if you have adapt VII

[knotty jolt]

Use them after every battle to full heal if you must just don't be afraid to use them

[sinful relic]

question, with dorm, is it the higher my comfort is the faster my morale regens?

[knotty jolt]

comfort effects xp

[analog tendon]

isn't that a "normal" map? They can just go back to port to heal when needed, then go back

[ivory pawn]

Morale gen is based on the floor the ship is on.

[knotty jolt]

Second floor and oath determines morale regen rate

[sinful relic]

ohh, so ideally i should prob oath my main team? (im fine with spending money on rings) if its worth it

[knotty jolt]

example: Non oathed first floor ship recovers iirc like half? compared to a ship on the second floor that's oathed

or was it 50%...

[stark quiver]

main first yeah
oath good mains

[rain bobcat]

20
40
50

oath +10

[sinful relic]

good that tohka is oathed, how many free oath rings can i get without relying on mail?

[rain bobcat]

0

[sinful relic]

noted so its only 1 you get from missions after a ship reaches 100 affinity

[knotty jolt]

You get 1 free ring for getting a ship to 100 affinity and that's it

[rain bobcat]

also vanguard oaths are not valuable outside of waifu/pvp

[sinful relic]

thats handy to know, thank you. is there a limit on how many rings i can buy btw daily?

[rain bobcat]

no

[sinful relic]

ooh perfect

[knotty jolt]

I mean you're limited by how much money you make irl so...

[sinful relic]

i could buy all the deals and then the top one for a few times, is the trade license worth it?

though i honestly dont think ill oath anyone outisde URs and my main team and perhaps a few favourites.

[analog tendon]

Vietnam flashback to GBF's "Monkeygate"
Thanks for your sacrifice, random japanese gacha addict....we are all indebted to you 🫡

[rain bobcat]

trade license isn't worth if you don't need cubes

[sinful relic]

i see

[hushed sorrel]

you shouldnt. you will be fine without it.

[zinc cave]

Oath who you like.

[hushed sorrel]

no content i know about needs a full oathed fleet

[sinful relic]

ooh thats not too bad

[stray crane]

exercise?

[sinful relic]

ayo whose this? she seems cute

[zinc cave]

Trinidad

[sinful relic]

any decent?

[forest palm]

no

[wise cairn]

trinidad aka spicy elite 🫴

[zinc cave]

Standard Elite unit, so no

[sinful relic]

shame, ill still collect her tho

[wise cairn]

might have to wait until 2027 if u don’t have her

[zinc cave]

Okay dps for an Elite, but otherwise not noteworthy

[sinful relic]

like i like my ship girls, but honestly i wouldnt mind having a main fleet consisting of girls i like, then again im pretty much poor atm until i get my current girls maxed.

AH btw since i can actually enter azur lane now, ill show what everyone has @zinc cave

[zinc cave]

You'll eventually move onto levelling different ships and fleets once you start accumulating so don't get too fixated on what you have right now

[sinful relic]

i think alabama, unicorn, and tohka are the ones ill keep.

[stark quiver]

My game looks weird

[zinc cave]

happens

[sinful relic]

this is what i currently have, sincei i was able to double check

my gear so far

[stray crane]

wait the opsi boss reset daily ?

[hushed sorrel]

no boss in opsi resets daily, the only thing that resets daily are the daily quests as well as the meta fights

[stray crane]

oh nvm its the hard arbiter i thought its the normal one

[sinful relic]

is any UR gear good gear? or certain ones

[ivory pawn]

Most are, but some are better than others.

[sinful relic]

so its def worth it to get the final reward for the ballots thingy

[fair lance]

That box gives a guaranteed gold equipment not a UR though if you're just grinding everyday you'll get it.

[sinful relic]

ohh thought it was a chance for UR mb

[lyric flume]

What ships are worth bumping along to 125? Like should I hold that material for UR only?

[ivory pawn]

Any ship you use in endgame content. There's a bunch of golds and even a handful of purples that can be worth bring up to 125.

[stark quiver]

ships you like are good if you use them a lot

[regal panther]

At what level am I able to expand my dorm for my girls? I cant find the expansion license in the shop so I can only assume its level locked. Currently 46, started about 5 days ago

[lyric flume]

Like should a oathed ship be bumped to 125 or should I be tryna hoard them

[soft raft]

The easy answer is anyone you're gonna use W14 and above

[sinful relic]

uhm whom is this?

[rain bobcat]

strassbourg

[sinful relic]

UR?

[rain bobcat]

no

[sinful relic]

oh! is she any good?

[eternal moth]

Gold

[rain bobcat]

mid

[sinful relic]

shame, i think the game wants me to get her, shes the only one popping up for loading screen for the last 15 times

[knotty jolt]

She's hot and that's about it

[clear harbor]

When I click on the Main Stage, I get taken back to the voting screen. Is this intended behavior? Does this event have it's own missions? Or do I farm votes by doing my regular non-event routine?

[sweet delta]

Level 1, you buy it from the construction sign

[sinful relic]

when do dailies reset btw?

[clear harbor]

2400 AL time (-7 utc)

Reset is in ~ 4 hours.

[sinful relic]

thank you so i have time to let the girls get some moral back up

[clear harbor]

If you're not used to the time change, you can go to the HQ menu.

[sinful relic]

ohh that would be helpful. ill change it thank you

[clear harbor]

Oh, I don't think you can change it (maybe I'm wrong).

I think the HQ time is synchronized to -7 UTC.

[zinc cave]

• Can upgrade the things in red to +10 without an issue, they have longevity
• Replace Laffey's torps with the 533mm quad, the 533 Quint Mag torps have bad pattern and reload making it worse
• Your AA guns are fine
• Equipment skill don't stack so Laffey isn't getting double regen from the Repair Toolkits, and only the highest one takes effect
  • Replace Tohka's Autoloader with a Repair Toolkit from Laffery
  • Give Kurumi the other purple Repair Toolkit, replacing the blue one
• Your secondary guns aren't ideal but they are serviceable for now at +6 already
• Unicorn's Hellcat is fine but you can upgrade your F4U Corsair to +6/+10 for much cheaper and get more damage out of it
  • F4U Corsair also used for a good Fighter crafted upgrade later in the game which refunds part of your upgrade cost

[rain bobcat]

sure it doesn't stack but laffey wants double toolkit anyway

kurumi can sit on shittier gear because she has heals and should be off tank since she doesn't have augment

[zinc cave]

That's fair, I haven't read through Kurumi's skills

[sinful relic]

i can MLB kurumi rn but im currently trying to get the coins for retrofit unicorn

[zinc cave]

• Nelson's gun is AP, makes it bad for Campaign farming, look for another HE gun like your spare Triple 406mm or a Twin 410mm (3rd Year Type) (faster reload than 406mm, better for mobbing) from T3/T4 Sakura Tech Boxes

[sinful relic]

i changed Nelsons gun, next ill see if laffey can switch to another torp

[zinc cave]

The torp I recommended is in your depot

[sinful relic]

i dont have a gold one but i do have purple

[zinc cave]

That one yes

[rain bobcat]

if you have crystal from collab give it to tohka over autoloader

[sweet delta]

I take left over right

Quad purple nonmag is overrated

[sinful relic]

better?

i couldnt upgrade it anymore

[ocean terrace]

no repair kit? or am I wrong

[soft raft]

Yeah where did the repair kit go

[sinful relic]

one sec, im still switching stuff over

[ocean terrace]

on CAs and CLs, it's repair kit + EVA item usually right?

[zinc cave]

Open your T4 Tech Boxes when you get them, fuse other Tech Boxes up to T3 and open.

[sinful relic]

thats what ive been doing dw

[zinc cave]

Can find drop table here fyi
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Equipment#Equipment_box_contents

Rarity variable based on pack opened

[lyric flume]

Can you change the time on that?

[zinc cave]

should roughly look something like this using what you have right now

[sinful relic]

oki

[zinc cave]

Don't bother upgrading your gold CA gun or Quint Mag past +7 for now, its quite pricy for where you are right now

[zinc cave]

stuck to server time rn

[lyric flume]

Ok 🙏 thank you

[ocean terrace]

I'd actually like some advice on gear too

I've followed the quick gear guide as much as I can, then again I haven't look at every single piece of gear I have in depot
or what I can craft in gear lab

[zinc cave]

Just fire away questions in here, thats the purpose of the channel after all

[ocean terrace]

I'll send my depot and equipped gear in my thread and link the thread, give me like 2 mins

[rain bobcat]

probably better to enumerate what you can't equip

[stark quiver]

how do i see threads made by me

[rain bobcat]

for example look through the guide for options in ur main team and tell us what you can't replicate

[ocean terrace]

sounds good too, I'm just finishing some auto runs rq

[zinc cave]

you can find threads for the channel here, but searching is a bit tedious

Make sure you join the Thread to have it pop up on the server navigation column on the left

[stark quiver]

I remembered my thread name

[ocean terrace]

can I just post my equipped gear and depot lmao, or would you really prefer me looking through which ones aren't on the list

[zinc cave]

just do whatever's simpler

[ocean terrace]

just takes a lot more screenshots since I'd have to show individually which gear is equipped on which ship

[clear harbor]

Does the voting even have it's own stages? Or am I good to farm campaign?

[zinc cave]

There are tasks you have to fulfill to gain tickets, check the event hub

[clear harbor]

But no event specific stages, right?

[balmy skiff]

META-wise,who is better between DoY and Massa

[zinc cave]

There are no event specific stages, no

[ocean terrace]

also this really makes it hard to scrap my blue gear

[stark quiver]

why

[ocean terrace]

i dont know if it's a gear lab mat or not

[sweet delta]

Scrap them all, and just open more tech packs when you need to craft something

Except the niche good blues like 🧯 ofc

[ocean terrace]

I don't have any to open most of the time since I open them whenever I have a T3+

[balmy skiff]

@sweet delta
in terms of meta...Duke of York or Massachusetts?

[stark quiver]

duke

[sweet delta]

Duke is better for bossing, Massachusetts better for campaign

[zinc cave]

DoY has better longevity with her dmg% increase utility if you have solid damage dealers and no alternatives
Massachusetts is specialized for Medium damage output, not hard to find a better dealer

Assuming this is META showdown

[rain bobcat]

dork coping in 2025

[zinc cave]

Not much space for coping if they're picking between those two

[onyx flame]

At least doy got that +2 rld at 120

[ocean terrace]

https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1441564631268331721

put my gear there, let me know if I can format it better or send something different

[sinful relic]

is belfast any good?

i kinda want one of these girls for a vanguard unit maybe

[onyx flame]

san diego for cl

[sinful relic]

atago lookin nice-

[onyx flame]

CA is just pick what you need for faction tech

[sinful relic]

oh san diego? but i wont be able to build her anytime soon

[ocean terrace]

you'll want her for W13 at some point though

[sinful relic]

no where close to that tho

[onyx flame]

she's still better than just about everyone else in CL, sirius is 2nd best pick after you gotten san diego

[ocean terrace]

yeah but you'll eventually want her for it lol

[ocean terrace]

sirius gives CV buff right?

[sinful relic]

wouldnt i need sirius more atm cuz unicorn maybe? (idk)

[ocean terrace]

pretty sure Sandy is a better CL in general though

plus she has a unique augment + a retrofit

[sinful relic]

is she good by herself without retrofitting?

[onyx flame]

retro can come later, Unique aug gives her a pretty good buff to be used

[sinful relic]

im currently 3 starring all the campaign, so i have some gold bulins to like max someone out.

[onyx flame]

ya but you really only use her for boss comps with like triple cv

[ocean terrace]

I don't even use her but I know I will at W13 so I have her ready

I'll probably retrofit her after the UR event too, save up retro bps till then

[sinful relic]

i want a decent fox girl i can use for vanguard-

i could honestly buy her mic

[onyx flame]

not now

[ocean terrace]

you'll want UR bulins for now, UR event soon

[sinful relic]

ohh okay

im pretty close to the free UR too

[onyx flame]

you honestly wouldnt claim it till you need 1 last shinano just to save dock space

[ocean terrace]

I mean with this dec UR event, Guam and Laffey II in Jan and ANOTHER new UR in Feb, I doubt I'll get to mlb Shinano any time soon...

[sinful relic]

oh? i meant to go for shinano?

[ocean terrace]

NJ is like one of the worst UR BBs, maybe the worst

[onyx flame]

among the 2 picks you get yea shinano is the better one

[sinful relic]

i wasnt thinking NJ, i was thinking vanguard...

[knotty jolt]

how good strong would sandy's dps be if you gave her 76mm aa main gun, this is under the assumption pre retrofit and only her augment?

[ocean terrace]

huh, the handbook only gives you between Shinano and NJ

[sinful relic]

OH no i was looking at th 400 exhcnage

[ocean terrace]

if you're talking about UR pity, you go for Musashi

[sinful relic]

musashi?

two fox girls poggers

[ocean terrace]

well the picture you sent was the handbook

[onyx flame]

neither you be using until you can mlb then anyway

[zinc cave]

the fire rate increase is not worth the drop in base damage

[sinful relic]

yeah and then someone said about last copy for shinano so i just assumed you would go for her on the 400 pity

[knotty jolt]

Just checking for the sake of a new profile on a different server im doing for fun, was thinking maybe could use her like a budget z52 barrage ship

[rain bobcat]

well sandy has neer been fixed

[whole crypt]

eh maybe a duck gun, should already be too fast for her augment barrage anyway

[rain bobcat]

so her augment will fuck you over anyway

[whole crypt]

76 is just wasting gun damage and stat stick stats

I wouldn't say fuck you over, you still gain from using the augment, just not as much as you'd like with a 76mm

[knotty jolt]

Was thinking of doing some janky shit to see if i could overly optimize something early on

[rain bobcat]

only OGs will remember why twin 100 was called duck gun

[whole crypt]

apparently it's a EN naming thing from KC? I didn't know until here

[knotty jolt]

im an og and idk even know why

[rain bobcat]

yeah and also it quite literally looked like a duck before 2021

[whole crypt]

the twin 100mm is also colloquially akizuki gun, which somehow got shortened to duck

[rain bobcat]

the original sprite if you remember

[whole crypt]

not sure about the appearance part

[rain bobcat]

its a base of a gun with 2 barrels pointing up like a neck

[whole crypt]

ah well

[zinc cave]

duck

[whole crypt]

I'm personally not concerned as long as it's understood which gun is in question, I'm perfectly fine just calling it a twin100

[knotty jolt]

Old sprite was weird imo

[zinc cave]

minecraft lever looking gun

[whole crypt]

the point still stands you don't need to go down to 76mm for pre-retro sandy + aug

that said it is the cheapest option that will work

[clear harbor]

Oh, I was asking if there were mission stages. I guess if there ever are, they'd appear here, right?

[sharp socket]

does rld thresholds for single 113/single 76 apply to all barrage focused dds

[sinful relic]

retried 9-1 and it seems my ships doing allot better.

[whole crypt]

also consider what you call a "barrage focused DD"

[ocean terrace]

do you earn more ship exp from doing opsi missions/nodes or autoing campaign (W10/W11)?

[rain bobcat]

campaign by 100x

[sharp socket]

would the ddgs be barrage focused

[whole crypt]

OS missions don't grant XP, only specific enemy nodes do and it's less than campaign
it doesn't cost you any oil though

[wind hazel]

you earn more by doing both

[whole crypt]

DDGs are gun DDs by a large margin

[sharp socket]

ok what about yukikaze

[whole crypt]

if you don't know whether the DD you're using is actually "barrage-focused" you lose less just using all-rounder or damage guns

Yukikaze is less "barrage-DD" and more just "shit-gun-DD"

she can use a 113 or 76 yeh

[forest palm]

actually using Yucky

[whole crypt]

PvP though, if that fancies you

[stark quiver]

ew pvp

[grim siren]

Is Scylla a "Barrage-focused" ship?

[whole crypt]

pretty rich coming from you alpha

[forest palm]

wtf I swear PvP is slowly returning back to 2019 with some fancy trimings

[whole crypt]

something about how her augment sets her up for return to PvP

[whole crypt]

I just copy homework, don't ask me if/how it works

[stark quiver]

run fastest gun to aoa all the way

[wind hazel]

nerd

[hollow gust]

Falling for the yukikaze

[forest palm]

+13 on that Launcher is a choice

[stark quiver]

i dont have +13 opxytorps

[whole crypt]

[forest palm]

wonder what's left on my Yucky

[stark quiver]

[wind hazel]

look at mine

[stark quiver]

yeah its pretty good
just wait for en to fall for new psyop and 100% wr (not counting eld nukes)

[whole crypt]

point is I don't care, I just copy homework

[stark quiver]

sounds about right

[grim siren]

Is it normal to be spawn in inside Akashi???

[stark quiver]

[sweet delta]

What is the sandy pre retro augment bug?

[whole crypt]

does pre-retro have the same problem with errr was it VT

[stark quiver]

no

[onyx flame]

had enuf of scamcat, putting hand up now

[grim siren]

that damn green cat stopped my Opsi run

[whole crypt]

scamcat shouldn't even spawn after mapgen so I have no idea how you get stuck in one

[whole crypt]

@sweet delta

[stark quiver]

how long does it take to get a ship to 125 using 12-1

[rain bobcat]

2 weeks mvp probs

[sweet delta]

Less than a day to forever

[stark quiver]

and with full xp book focus

[whole crypt]

considering morale probably more than a day but should be done within a week

[rain bobcat]

doing 1 run in 12-1 and using 2000 blue books technically count at 125 using 12-1

[stark quiver]

no cuz i need oath 200

[rain bobcat]

oath 200 with regen oil is only a week or so

with stock oil definitely like 3 days or so with mvp

[stark quiver]

infinite oil

ok time to gimp fleet to the max

[rain bobcat]

if you no life it then within 3 days is possible

I got hakuhou 125+200 within a week

[stark quiver]

good enough, time to pull out the hvar farm strats

[whole crypt]

no-lifing is the default assumption

[rain bobcat]

[wind hazel]

what ship? meck?

[verbal plinth]

You be morale gated anyway

[stark quiver]

lol no

[rain bobcat]

yes thats why its 3 days ish not 1 day lol

if there was no morale gate shit would be over in a day

[viscid swift]

"She has been nicknamed "ducky" due to alternate Japanese romanization rendering her name as Akiduki. Together, Akizuki and her sisters Teruzuki and Hatsuzuki are sometimes referred to as "the duckies"."

what's with your name now cheeks

[wind hazel]

ty history otaku

[stark quiver]

did you 2x thing

[slow fox]

That's the next event

[rain bobcat]

that's effectively the same result

ur gated by how long you stay up with a timer

[stark quiver]

Oh rite

also the ship is kotori for reasons

[rain bobcat]

do 3 runs, wait like 20 mins repeat

[whole crypt]

wha?

[stark quiver]

i can wake up every 20 mins overnight if it requires

[whole crypt]

yeh I think that was the explanation I saw lat time

[rain bobcat]

what is he competing on

[viscid swift]

a little something from a British sitcom, Yes Minister

[wind hazel]

liver failure speedrun

[whole crypt]

ah Yes Minister

I know the show exists I don't get the specific reference though

[true kraken]

How to know if a ship is DR? like it doesnt show in shipyard?

[viscid swift]

Jim Hacker is the minister for the fictional Ministry of Administrative Affairs in the show

[rain bobcat]

[stark quiver]

rainbow

[rain bobcat]

diferent frame

[stark quiver]

its also called decisive rarity

[whole crypt]

decisive research

[rain bobcat]

research ships have a diffeent frame compared to normal ships, and also DR is rainbow

[stark quiver]

[true kraken]

I dont see any rainbow here? how?

[viscid swift]

'Nahkimov, Napoli

[onyx flame]

just click on bp exchange and if its rainbow its dr

[stark quiver]

good question

[whole crypt]

DR frame vs UR frame

[wind hazel]

... i dont think people can access that without unlocking the ships

[true kraken]

damn, so series 7 has 3 rainbow???

[whole crypt]

I don't think anything on the shipyard screen specifically tells you if it's a DR or PR, you just have to know the ships or check by the requirements

[rain bobcat]

I was about to do those exact ships since they're near each other

[whole crypt]

how did you get three it's just Napoli and Nakhimov

[sharp socket]

oath frame colliding with DR frame is interesting

[ivory sigil]

Not everyday we would see a White hair cat girl with black ribbon on top 🎀

[whole crypt]

UR vs DR oath

[grim siren]

Click BP exchange, if the Blueprint is Rainbow, it's a DR

[true kraken]

when it DR does it mean it better than the rest in the same series?

[zinc cave]

more or less

[whole crypt]

I mean they should be stronger

[viscid swift]

DR = Rainbow
PR = Gold

[whole crypt]

but you can't just compare if the ship is stronger if they don't fulfill the same role

[ivory sigil]

DR They take more blueprints, thus they take more resources
If u cant given enough resources, they suck, that's all.

Bruh if analogy i could say: "Imagine you married to a miss world champion but you had nothing in wallet."

[true kraken]

what is this mean?

[viscid swift]

hmm, another CV

[rain bobcat]

still no sex meta

[rain bobcat]

easy dumpster fire via BB

[true kraken]

Is it just me or Iron Blood seems to have more DR than other factions?

[zinc cave]

lol

[viscid swift]

they have 3 so

[rain bobcat]

4

[viscid swift]

oh right

[onyx flame]

500 paper ships

[rain bobcat]

they never built ships so there's quite a lot to choose from

[forest palm]

people don't realize that AL has practically ran out of real German ships to use

[rain bobcat]

yea

[viscid swift]

well no

[wind hazel]

infinity submarines

waiting for 20th anniversary where we get u-145129310323

where's Bayern, Baden, Hindenburg, Derfflinger, Von der Tan, etc

[zinc cave]

infinite type 2s

[whole crypt]

depends on gimmick but if there's nothing much special about the fight expect triple BB AP/SAP to murder her

[viscid swift]

fuck KMS, give me more SMS

[rain bobcat]

what, inflated high seas fleet and the 400 U boats

[sharp socket]

hindenburger is already in AL cheeky

[stark quiver]

sms hindenburg

[viscid swift]

yeah not that one, the other one

[rain bobcat]

sms yeah

[stark quiver]

this one

[wind hazel]

is that a phone tower?

[rain bobcat]

tldr the same thing i said, inflate the high seas fleet or sms to broken standard (bullshit) or make u boats

[whole crypt]

I just realized I've been using Hindenburg without a main gun

[rain bobcat]

watch. sms fdg>UR fdg in 5 years time

[sharp socket]

i hope york meta is ridiculously difficult and nigh impossible to 2 shot let alone oneshot without some magificent and deranged cooking

[viscid swift]

they don't need to be URs by they're good SR fillers

[viscid swift]

sadly given their recent track record I doubt it

[wind hazel]

nah, we need bismarck drei

[stark quiver]

i hope york meta is easy as shit to one shot because my ship and +13 situation is genuinely fucked

[forest palm]

was Yorktown RLD?

[grim siren]

a UR WW1 Battleship would powercrept a UR paper ship

[untold sierra]

Good morning guys

[viscid swift]

reload or hit

[true kraken]

quick question, how long does it take to do this?

[rain bobcat]

bismarck drei and vier

[clear harbor]

It resets every month, so it takes 1 month in that sense.

[viscid swift]

yeah she's +1 reload

[stark quiver]

yk reload
x=y^2 is avi

[forest palm]

hopefully Yorktown M is more RLD then

[rain bobcat]

[stark quiver]

o shit

[rain bobcat]

do we even need rld at this point

[forest palm]

more is better

[viscid swift]

I'll take it

[whole crypt]

all METAs so far should have been the same tech so shouldn't be an issue

[zinc cave]

we need negative RLD

[stark quiver]

ill not take it

[forest palm]

plus I'm running out of shit to level in the main fleet again

[sharp socket]

6 hours ish for all explorables, another 2 hours for hiddens and abyssals, an hour for strongholds, then take your pick of 30mins to 2+ hours per day, and you do the initial part every month

[clear harbor]

I have yet to really complete OpSi, though. Are you trying to complete the story for the first time? I think that took me 2-3 months because I didn't know what I was doing.

[whole crypt]

I'm running out of shit to level in the whole fleet

[stark quiver]

same bro

[forest palm]

I swear there's an few that are the except, and I can't remember which

[rain bobcat]

im just chucking random shit in to level lmao

[whole crypt]

there isn't

[sharp socket]

i have 3 boats to pick up from pvp shop for cv rld and then ill be done with pvp

[true kraken]

It's still take that long for so many year update?

[grim siren]

Is rld BB good?

[whole crypt]

I'm leveling DAL fleet now and that's probably going to be 120 before event

[stark quiver]

yeah

[whole crypt]

you don't have to do everything in one day

[stark quiver]

bulins

[whole crypt]

and actually across the whole month you'll probably spend more than that time

[true kraken]

but it would be better if I can do all in one day

[untold sierra]

@viscid swift

[verbal plinth]

It's worth it for gear

[rain bobcat]

you can after reset but you spend 5000 oil

[sharp socket]

im not low on bulins i still have like 30+ golds mlb waiting to level

[viscid swift]

yeah don't, spread it across a few days at least

[stark quiver]

cubes

[true kraken]

wdym by this

[sweet delta]

A few? 32 days id say

[viscid swift]

unlike certain people I do not leave AP dumping until after monthly reset

[untold sierra]

@viscid swift First of all good morning my friend I have a question to ask from last night, so is the account bad?

[rain bobcat]

I only have 10 maps left before opsi is cleared

[sharp socket]

before i quit opsi i do the initial part in one weekend and then do dailies and strongholds over the rest of the month

[viscid swift]

uhh, I don't remember what your dock was honestley

[stark quiver]

who are you referring to

[whole crypt]

there are daily missions you're better off just clearing a bit every day

[untold sierra]

I usually asked chatgpt in case they knew but it turned out wrong

[sharp socket]

buy logger, eat all the AP boxes, leave it on explorables only and go do something else

[stark quiver]

yes

[viscid swift]

I mean

[true kraken]

does it give exp for shipyard?

[stark quiver]

chatgpt is no alpa

[viscid swift]

ChatGPT needs to learn from something and there's not a lot about AL out there, get alone good shit

[whole crypt]

some nodes do some nodes don't but it doesn't cost oil and there's no rush anyway

[untold sierra]

After this conversation, I understood it too 🙂

[true kraken]

why are your URs like this

[clear harbor]

What do you consider the initial part? clearing out all the zones for the first time?

[rain bobcat]

the amount of ppl saying they consulted gpt first is increasing and it's hilarious

[untold sierra]

Idk

[forest palm]

a fresh ops map is really good XP actually

[true kraken]

then what do you guy recommend grinding exp for shipyard?

[viscid swift]

anyway, I pretty much said what I wanted too earlier, read the newbie tips, strat over from scratch with your fleet subbing in Owari for Penn in the starter fleet in the guide and start grinding it up
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[whole crypt]

most grinding will usually be done in ch12, when there's no active event

[stark quiver]

does azur lane reddit have a pvp section

[forest palm]

would you trust it either way?

[whole crypt]

they just link the pvp guide at the top

[true kraken]

btw do they make it easier to clear 14-4 now? I've been stucking for years

[sharp socket]

all explorables, vouchers shop hiddens + the hiddens you get from explorables, maybe a couple strongholds and abyssals

[viscid swift]

well powercreep has happened, not that 14-4 was ever that difficult

[true kraken]

how come

[viscid swift]

it was just a learning curve more than anything else

[rain bobcat]

everyone cleared 14-4 without uni retro even

[clear harbor]

Oh, what should I be picking up from hidden shops?

[rain bobcat]

hell I know someone who did the entire chapter with blues back on release

[untold sierra]

Also, how many draws does it normally take to get UR in this pit?

[true kraken]

this is what I left when I give up before, any recommendation in changing?

[forest palm]

400 cubes or 200 pulls

[viscid swift]

I mean you're not using a healer at all

[rain bobcat]

no healer and probably no asw

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief

the 2nd one is literally 90% pictures

[sweet delta]

He is berke pro max, gph has helped him countless times for 14

[true kraken]

can dev20 be use in 14-4 or not recommend?

[rain bobcat]

the legend of berke

[viscid swift]

no

that's kinda hard for vanguard since I dont have the DR they recommend for tanking

there's a million options

[sinful relic]

hmm should i start thinking of doing my second team soon?

[true kraken]

is there anyway I can buy UR bullin?

[viscid swift]

besides the prototype shop?

[true kraken]

yea

[viscid swift]

no

[uneven barn]

Hello guys, I am trying to get some UR gear from the gear lab (since I only have 1 wyvern as of now and other UR gears are from either events or PR research). Right now I am focusing on the frog looking AA gun and I have all mats except I am one short from UR design plan. I have done Arbiter fight and cleared them from the shop in my OpSi now. How can I get that one extra UR design plan? I know Abyssal zone fights drop them in random and I have done 3 of them yet no luck.

[viscid swift]

they're RNG drops from cat nodes at that point

oh and I guess there's those hidden file mission chains

[olive rover]

I'm having a hard time understanding how PR/DR ship skin projections work, how do I get rid of these extra copies of Nakhimov from my secretary rotation list? When I go to the Skin Projection list, the extra copies are supposed to already be turned off.

[uneven barn]

What? hidden file? Can you elaborate it

[viscid swift]

from the OpSi exchange shop

these

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab

also might want to give that a look

[uneven barn]

Oh I will it a try. Thanks man

[true kraken]

this should be good right? for 14-4

[viscid swift]

assuming you get everyone to 125, max limit broken yeah

and assuming you equip them correctly

[true kraken]

125? I have to put material to some ship I dont like?

[viscid swift]

what

[true kraken]

That against free will

[viscid swift]

I mean you're doing difficult content

can't afford to be as picky who you use if you want to clear, and comfortably at that

[ocean terrace]

what's skin projection and how does it work?

[viscid swift]

and if you don't like them and can't even be bothered to level them up to use them for difficult content why bother getting them at all

[onyx flame]

lets you display mutiple copies of shipyard ship to work as mutiple secretaries pins should have a showcase

basically its fake dupes to put skins on to work as mutiple secretaries

[ocean terrace]

oh right, ty

[true kraken]

where do I get more of this

[onyx flame]

tech boxes T4 and above so gamble time

[true kraken]

I guess it my time then

[idle perch]

is there a cat guide?

[rapid shard]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Riceist/CatGuide

[idle perch]

ty

what are the ideal build for cats?

[remote yarrow]

Do you have hundred of thousands of coins to spare?

If not just forget about getting an ideal cat and just use the Tempesta ones

Which are pretty decent

[ocean terrace]

is corrosion level the main indicator of how strong an opsi zone is? or does abyssal/stronghold matter more?

[onyx flame]

tempesta really only handles bb and half cv so you still need another cv and sub cats

[onyx flame]

corrosion indicated the difficulty of the normal, hidden and abyssal that are on it
stronghold are always the same difficulty

[ocean terrace]

just to clarify, abyssal has 1 boss that you need to beat, what are hiddens?

[idle perch]

no.... but i can farm them easily. 8 year veteran here

[onyx flame]

abyssal is the red beacons, hidden is the yellow one

[ocean terrace]

anything different about hiddens? compared to normal

[remote yarrow]

Well I'm not entirely sure if we even have a table for ideal/perfect cat talents but a perfect Oscar has Flame, Officer 3, Soulful, Firepower 3, Destiny

[idle perch]

where can i get this information?

like the ideal cat for pure CV.... etc....

[remote yarrow]

oh, Riceist's page has it, check the link above

[onyx flame]

its basically a you can enter once area with like small boss you gotta beat idk how else to explain it but they arent as hard as abyssals

[ocean terrace]

wait are they the ones where you take the portal? or is that different

[idle perch]

ty

[remote yarrow]

That's different, that's Arbiter

[ocean terrace]

no I meant the purple/blue portal in the normal nodes that take you to a puzzle or something

[remote yarrow]

Oh that's only first clear stuff in Hidden Zones

Once you do those puzzles once they don't show up anymore

[ocean terrace]

oh I see

[crude basin]

is there an augment guide, should i make a officers sword for alabama

[ocean terrace]

honestly I have no clue what I'm doing in opsi, just clearing areas to get to my daily missions

[remote yarrow]

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

[ocean terrace]

struggling with corrosion level 5 and above but other than that not doing much

[remote yarrow]

And no, make Alabama's augment instead

[onyx flame]

shouldnt be making a sword for alabama but her unique augment

[crude basin]

okay the anchor right

[remote yarrow]

[sweet delta]

certainly not

[sweet delta]

great

[remote yarrow]

-# I just noticed I misread that

[sweet delta]

that's why i said to wait for higher level fleets. The good rewards are in difficult maps like c5+. But for now you can at least do the daily mission you can reach

[soft raft]

She has her own unique augment that makes her really good so no lmfao

[ocean terrace]

I mean I have nothing to do when I'm low on oil other than opsi and exercises, so I'm trying to progress as much as I can in opsi

[elfin iron]

New player here... I'm confused as to where the new characters are since they're not on the build

[remote yarrow]

Play another game, touch grass or go to sleep

[ocean terrace]

[soft raft]

There are currently no new banner events going on right now

[remote yarrow]

-# I'm illiterate ignore me

[soft raft]

I... dont think that's what he was asking about

[limber oriole]

For getting tech points, do I have the keep the ship in my dock or can I retire them once I'm done? Been thinking about doing some cheep purples here and there but I also don't use the majority of them, so I also dont want them in my dock. But I at least want to make thrm useful before I retire them, if I can.

[soft raft]

tbh I think I read that wrong too lol

[ocean terrace]

they're talking about the DAL banner I assume

[remote yarrow]

Nah that's my fault

[soft raft]

You can retire them without losing the tech points

[remote yarrow]

Holy illiteracy

[viscid swift]

yes but I would not retire unique ships period

[limber oriole]

Awesome, thank you

[elfin iron]

???

[idle perch]

for cats:
what do they mean by core talents? and how many appear for 1 cat?

[limber oriole]

I usually collect them. I just mean retiring the ships in the build pool and from the game. I like keeping my collab ships and special ones

[viscid swift]

the ones that you really want

[soft raft]

Yeah idk what he was thinking

But to clairfy, do you mean the Date A Live banner? If so, you just missed it by nearly 24 hours 💀

[elfin iron]

Oh I just was confused because I saw on the twitter post so I thought they would be

[ocean terrace]

newer players should ignore meta showdown right?

[crude basin]

does enhancing augments make that much of a difference - should i send the anchor to +10? or just save mats for like sandy

[remote yarrow]

I thought you meant how to build the newest ships gear wise, brain farted

[elfin iron]

Oof that's unfortunate

[viscid swift]

I mean keep a copy of every ship

if nothing else you'll want to work on grinding fleet tech later on

[idle perch]

all SSR cats have 5 talent slots correct?
so when i first get the cat, they will auto give 3 random talents which are called core talents?

[elfin iron]

Hahah it's okay

[viscid swift]

yes and no

[limber oriole]

Like, to keep? I don't have the dock space for that unless I'm limit breaking a given ship.

[viscid swift]

yes

and that's precisely why you want more dock space

[remote yarrow]

But we should be getting new Ships in the next few weeks, so look forward to that probably the 18th but don't take my word for granted

[viscid swift]

I dunno what Riciest's guide says but

[idle perch]

im using bishamaru for reference here.

So coincidentally in my cat dorm, I have her with flame's agression which is 1 of the core talents I want. The other 2 are garbage. Can i reroll that 2 garbage or no?

[limber oriole]

Why though? I can understand keeping some purples, golds, and obv urs, but every ship seems, excessive?

[viscid swift]

no

[remote yarrow]

Basically this (BB)

[viscid swift]

this is what makes cats so expensive

[idle perch]

so that means the 2 garbage talents are fixed?

[viscid swift]

yes

[soft raft]

Do you really want a [YOUR DOCK IS FULL] Popup every like 4 battles

[viscid swift]

you don't reroll until you get a cat with decent starting tallents

[idle perch]

so the rng part is that I have to buy cats and reroll to the 3 core talents I want?

[viscid swift]

i.e. ones you'd all want

[elfin iron]

Dang... Yeah okay Ill wait
I just realised the twitter says they're new augment modules... Which I don't know what they are 💀

I legit only played like an hour or smth

[limber oriole]

I'm being told to keep copies even thougb I dont want the "dock is full" problem

[viscid swift]

the RNG bit is getting a good cat to reroll and then rerolling for the tallents

[soft raft]

Then get more dock space so that's less of an issue

[idle perch]

oh fk

[viscid swift]

rerolling for a perfect cat can take literally millions of coins

that's why Drake is such good value

[remote yarrow]

Oh Augment Modules are for already existing ships, they are basically "accessories" they make for an specific ship that normally upgrades one of their skills

[idle perch]

i have that resource

[viscid swift]

it's an almost perfect BB cat for just 1200 core data

[elfin iron]

.... Oh god no wonder I thought they were new ships that were coming

Thank you. It was quite confusing

[viscid swift]

and that's when RNG will say fuck you and deny you an SR for 500 some pulls

[idle perch]

oh I have 1k SSR box

[remote yarrow]

For this batch they have Augments to Astoria, Giulio Cesare, Formidable, Prinz Heinrich and Noshiro

[stark quiver]

I think they have the resource

[viscid swift]

uhh good luck getting through them all before the game EofS then

[idle perch]

HAHHAHA

[remote yarrow]

Speaking about that I haven't checked Heinrich's

[viscid swift]

this batch of augs was really disapointing

[sweet delta]

have you been buying 15 boxes per day since the beginning of time?

[remote yarrow]

I was hoping for them to make Formidable's slow 100%

[idle perch]

what do I do with the spares? do i throw them away? except for every and drake?

[viscid swift]

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

pretty much

[idle perch]

no just getting it for free everyday, and thru opsi

[stark quiver]

Gods favorite child

[sweet delta]

aint no way you have 1000 gold boxes then

[idle perch]

^

[remote yarrow]

I mean for 8 years that's kinda possible? I have 200 golds in 2 years of just getting the free one, it's RNG and he may be gifted?

[idle perch]

wait

[remote yarrow]

You can cope and use one that has at least 2 decent starting talents it won't be that much of an upgrade

[sweet delta]

in terms of level 1 cats yes just feed away the ones with bad talents

[remote yarrow]

But yeah use the rest as fodder

[sweet delta]

when you do get a good one though, you need to feed it 4 dupes to max the skill

[idle perch]

i might be wrong

yep i only have 100+ SSR

[remote yarrow]

That's quite a big difference

[idle perch]

yes sir

[atomic solstice]

factor of 10

[clear harbor]

Should I generally be activating thses things rather than smashing them?

[rain vine]

just smash them

[still knot]

What do I buy here?

[onyx flame]

nothing really, non of them are good, thou 4 are used for their lvlv 120 fleet tech

[still knot]

So I just save?

[onyx flame]

p much, until you start lvling fleet tech stuff

[umbral cedar]

What's the best War Archive to farm? Khorovod? Mirror Involution?

[onyx flame]

Which War Archives should I do?

"I NEED IRONBLOOD TECH!!"
Divergent Chessboards

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

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

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

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

[ocean terrace]

regarding the Skybound Oratorio one, isn't Jeanne d'Arc significantly worse than Eldridge retro? is it actually recommended to do?

[onyx flame]

p much, its an option but well

i just use the copy pasta that mori made

[ocean terrace]

it looks like mori made it

don't ask what that means

[onyx flame]

honestly only reason i go into war archive now is just to get some faction tech

[ocean terrace]

I might need it for FDG and Agir

Roon's research has been piss easy but this IB vanguard exp is taking AGES

[onyx flame]

i mean it depends on where you are in campagin plus are you running 3 IB vanguard

[ocean terrace]

only 2 and those two are my best (Prinz Eugen and Z23) so that's saying something

[ocean terrace]

level capped at W10 rn

[onyx flame]

yea that will explain snail pace

[ocean terrace]

wouldn't be too bad if I could infinitely run autos but im oilless

how much in total is coining Roon to dev30?

is there a guide/data sheet for coining costs of ships

[onyx flame]

wiki, got a graph

[ocean terrace]

am I blind

[onyx flame]

its under shipyard page

[ocean terrace]

ah thanks

are you sure...

[onyx flame]

at the bottom

under coins sections

[ocean terrace]

oh I see thanks

recommended daily is 10 right

so 3k coins a day

what does the bracket mean

oh total nevermind

I'm an idiot lmao, haven't slept

so about a month if I do 10 a day for 343 total

[atomic solstice]

no that one took me a minute too

yes

[ocean terrace]

I think. I'll hold off on coining her until dec UR event is over (or I pull the UR)

hopefully coin her between that and Guam/Laffey rerun

then start FDG my beloved

[rapid shard]

buying the reccomended 10 a day is only like 3k coins fyi

[ocean terrace]

well I'm not at W12 yet so I'm broke most of the time

I'm around 50k now that I've started saving for UR event

but I'll prioritise pulling for UR for now

also is there like a good way/method to pull during UR events? like a certain number of pulls per day for example

[violet grail]

I've been doing x7 for PR, x6 for DR recently coz Im saving up coins for the coming UR banners. But if youre not too strapped for coins x 10 or even x15 can be fine.

[sweet delta]

3 per day is the worst
for UR i guess you can go 10 per day, with a lot more on the first and/or last days

[ocean terrace]

mmmm okay thanks

[ocean terrace]

this is my first PR ship, and honestly she's not even high prio for me since it's just Roon

it's just for fleet tech for FDG really

but I guess I would wanna start research on FDG asap

[violet grail]

Roon is my first and only dev 30 as well. Shes at FS4 for me now. Im still coining Roon coz I havent quite finished getting anchorage but in a few more days ill be able to switch to coining her. And Fdg on the DR side.

I also set my catchup to FdG to speed things up coz purely coining would take a long time.

[ocean terrace]

oh I thought you were a veteran

seen you give loads of helpful tips around and about

[violet grail]

Been playing 2 and a half months. Pushing chapter 13 currently finally, pretty easily so far since I put it off for so long.

[rapid shard]

Hes paid attention to the guides and advice given here like me lol ive only been playing about 4ish months

[ocean terrace]

oh I see, you had me fooled at least

[rapid shard]

Roon FS5 with her aug is pretty solid tho i still use her a bit

[violet grail]

Yeah I've spent quite a bit of time either lurking in this channel or actively asking questions. And I still get a lot of stuff wrong, thankfully peeps here correct me when I do.

[ocean terrace]

same I have 70 catchup prints for her now, planning to use them rather than coining her all the way

[violet grail]

Oh ye I need to craft her aug, been saving materials for a while and saw there were new augs coming but tbh Ill probably be using roon a decent amount so should be worth.

[ocean terrace]

all augments only require those stones right

[onyx flame]

and coins a lot of em

[ocean terrace]

I should have plenty since I've only crafted Sandy's

[violet grail]

Uniques need yellow ones, regular augs just use purples.

[ocean terrace]

I haven't crafted many purple augs, probably should but I'm broke as always

[violet grail]

Prioritize strong unique augs.

[fiery swan]

I have 8 UR bulin and all other URs MLB except the IJN sub (and failed to obtain Unzen). Would it be a good idea to immediately MLB the IJN sub if I have enough for the December UR?

[ocean terrace]

Guam and Laffey II in Jan

[onyx flame]

i would wait for dec ur to see first (it could be a double)

[violet grail]

Thankfully laffey 2 wont require pulls

[onyx flame]

and we get a peek like next next week anyway

[ocean terrace]

I really hope it's a double UR for december with at least 1 BB cos my battleships suck right now

[fiery swan]

I already have every single other UR MLB and the only one I don't have is Unzen

[rapid shard]

I will say if you trying to get gear faster, try to avoid using catch ups and blank prints on coinable units. the proto cores you get from converting bps adds up fast to get Tenrai ply gun georgia gun and drake gun basically for free.

[violet grail]

If you are getting close to pity, musashi might be the way to go and mlb her even tho shes perma. But ye wait for christmas.

[onyx flame]

you prob could just mlb the sub, since you have enough for another ur + this month will give like 4 bulins anyway

[ocean terrace]

I've actually only ever pulled 130 times so far, including daily pulls

[fiery swan]

On the other hand, are davinky, maggiore, and U-556 meta a good sub fleet and who should be flag (may have gotten the number wrong, whatever, she was the one from Bismarck Zwei event)

[ocean terrace]

yeah to be fair it's only 15 days quicker if I use catchup, + like 100k coins

[violet grail]

Well in that case I guess your BB options would look something like nelson/alabama/owari at the moment?

[ocean terrace]

Maryland retro for boss, Kotori for mob

the DAL ships have done me well with the vanguards being top tier SRs

and the main fleet will work for now

[violet grail]

I keep forgetting the collab units are good XD since Im not at a point where I need to build them. Will probs build the self cloning one for fun tho.

[ocean terrace]

I only started on the 20th Nov, so couldn't get Owari

[violet grail]

Oh sheesh you're brand new XD doing really well for couple weeks in nice!

[sweet delta]

dedication

[ocean terrace]

awh ty, though I had more resources from mail than most new players (my account was made 4 years ago but I played for like 2-3 days with no idea what im doing)

homecoming rewards were very nice though

[violet grail]

I was defo not working on shipyard fleet tech 2 weeks in lol. Not worth doing that before ch 12 imo.

[ocean terrace]

tbh Roon's research was so easy for me, I have more than enough resources for her but just the IB exp that's annoying

but I was told shipyard is just timegated so should start asap

[ivory sigil]

wait so not smashing them is wrong ??? I keep put the stuff in them and they give like 1 or 2 stuff

[gusty olive]

So Formi have better dps now with augment?

[ivory sigil]

bro skipping sleep to calculate every Azurlane %any speedrun

[violet grail]

I know opsi xp is a trickle but considering how much c1 and c3 farming I did I wouldnt be surprised if it was actually a sizeable chunk of my shipyard xp.

But probably not something I should be recommending others do XD

[ocean terrace]

I just wanted to know how many coins I need for Roon

so I don't go too broke again

[ocean terrace]

god I hate opsi atm, have no idea what im doing, just running around nodes trying to clear stuff

[ivory sigil]

broke is temporary
waifu is eternal

[rapid shard]

Thats literally all opsi is lol

[ocean terrace]

it feels so chaotic and random lmao
I can't even finish story missions that are in c5/c6

[olive geyser]

is the roomba AA good for w13?

[ocean terrace]

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

[onyx flame]

the gold one yea

[violet grail]

For me its the first month I had spare exchange currency to get the hidden zone logger. Excited to do hidden zones on auto search for a change.

Got like 3 more explorable zones left to do before that, should be done with those today.

[ivory sigil]

i still stuck at old shop

but they just give me a T3 rainbow looking thing so

[ocean terrace]

hahaha, I rushed to clear Chapter 4 when I heard monthly reset was in 3 days (at the time)

[ivory sigil]

i spent 500 purplecoin for it and dunno what to do next

[rapid shard]

Pretend it doesnt exist and build up materials for a month or so then start crafting

[ocean terrace]

I have no clue what the loggers and hidden zones and abyssal/stronghold everything lmao

need to read a guide at some point

I skipped every story thing in opsi to rush finishing Chapter 4 so that probably didn't help

[onyx flame]

if you got the ecgc go to farming and at the bottom there some explaination regarding opsi

[fiery swan]

^

[rain vine]

giving an energy cell gives you adaptability stats, which arent that hard to get if you just do your dailies and clear the map every month
smashing them can give purple coins

[low dove]

heyo, I am a returning player. I noticed that independence got a module! How significant is it towards her gameplay? (mobbing)

[low dove]

they are still working their asses off on these websites, damn
big props

[gusty olive]

Formi good with her new augment?

[rain bobcat]

she's broken rn and her efficiency boost doesn't work as intended

[gusty olive]

bruh

[rain bobcat]

if it gets fixed in CN and EN like it did in JP she's basically just a gambler stop with 2 TB slots

either a mid ish bosser or definitely a mid mobber

[gusty olive]

By doesnt work as intended?

This?

[rain bobcat]

the torp bomber efficiency there does not reflect in game

only hms TBs boost her torpedo efficiency in EN rn

so she currently only works as a double wyvern mobber

[gusty olive]

damn...

but on JP, that set-up should work?

[boreal wagon]

CN hasnt fixed it either yet

but yes on JP it currently works as intended

[rain bobcat]

yes

ur setup is too slow eitherway

but im assuming you dont have her max lvl

[gusty olive]

120

[ivory sigil]

I know my gear is hurt to look but...

im in bankrupt state
can you give only 3 to 5 advice about my gear (included crafting/lab) that i can slowly progress to when i have enough money/resource?

[ocean terrace]

I can't give much but you want repair toolkit (purple ideally) on all your vanguards

[ivory sigil]

(crystal on helena is a purposed to building her up so... nvm on it, i would give to kurumi when she needed)

Also somehow the Firecontrol was not able to insert for kurumi

[ocean terrace]

and you want steam catapults on your CVs (both slots)

[ivory sigil]

-ok 1 Toolbox Purple (Laffey) -> (Kurumi)

[ocean terrace]

yeah usually it's 1 EVA aux (like naval camo or crystal) + repair toolkit for vanguards

and for CV, if you have any purple steam catapults or can craft some, in both slots

[ivory sigil]

I can make 5

[ocean terrace]

like this

[onyx flame]

this is for cruisers
DD just want 2 hps auxes

[ocean terrace]

because they have high base EVA, low base HP, right forgot about that

is it worth crafting a tenzan kai?

or should I be focusing on the top tier gear like Ju-87 D-4

[onyx flame]

i mean it is an upgrade but do you even need converging torps

[ocean terrace]

I don't know do I?

I'm just looking at the gear lab guide lol

realistically all my gear is mediocre, other than BB main gun (triple 406mm mk6) and helldivers

[onyx flame]

converging is really only used in opsi against bosses and you also need a freeze or cope slow
campaign its just parallel spam

[ocean terrace]

oh I see

that makes sense actually

well I'll get a proto Tenrai at some point in the shop

Wyvern seems too hard to craft

Breguet is also in the shop but I need 1 more white shell + maybe independence

maybe my gear is fine for now

[onyx flame]

it is game is a marathon not a sprint somethings you just cant rush

[ivory sigil]

I have this 🚀 Rocket lookingthing, they are same purple but the stats seem more reliance?

so steam catapult isnt wise exchange?

[ocean terrace]

the skill is only helpful in PvP iirc

correct me if I'm wrong

[onyx flame]

they are basically the same, both are transitional anyway

oil tank is techncially better cause it give more stats compared to purple cata with same avi but like the hp doesnt really matter

[wary saffron]

I got 2 UR bulins should I spend both on unzen to mlb her or should I spend it on shinano

[ocean terrace]

wait for december UR

[wary saffron]

Or I save up until I get musashi

[wary saffron]

Why

[ocean terrace]

new UR being released in 13 days

[wary saffron]

Oh alright

[ocean terrace]

because it might be better than any URs you have

also don't use UR bulins unless you can max limit break them in one go

[wary saffron]

I can mlb unzen rn

[ocean terrace]

I would wait if I were you

[wary saffron]

Nvm I’ll just wait till I get musashi

[wary saffron]

I will

[ocean terrace]

we'll see how good the new UR is

[ivory sigil]

idk about u
but accord to the stats, it seem i would go for musha but the bulinUR gonna empty so... Let's wait

[umbral cedar]

What new UR?

[ocean terrace]

from perma pity yeah, Musashi is arguably the only UR worth mlb'ing

[ocean terrace]

18th december, new UR event
will be announced on the 15th on a livestream

[west steeple]

What specific gear should I develop to finish this quest?

[ivory sigil]

/gearlab

[odd root]

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

[wind hazel]

if you just wanna complete it but don't have the higher end mats, make tenzan kai

[west steeple]

ok thanks

[covert spire]

anyway to delete the blue(rare) argument? my slot argument is full 150.

[onyx flame]

feed it when lvling/crafting other augments

[analog tendon]

Where do you guys get all these augments? Do you craft a ton of them? Because until now i've dropped a grand total of 4 of them

[onyx flame]

the 2nd weekly raid gives quite a bit if your lucky sometimes, and it just stockpiles over time

[spark patio]

any ship good to use bc of their new augs now?

[wind hazel]

not really, useable ships become more useable, but nothing special

[ivory sigil]

if i start build Sandy to replace this Laffey ^ in future, would it be okay?

Or it would bricked Helena since helena need a Royal Navy (Laffey) to work with skill?

[sturdy nacelle]

Btw guys when will Formidable come back

[wind hazel]

how would that even brick helena lol

sandiego herself is also an eagle union ship....

you can even use non EU ship and put helena on offtank and that buff would still work. or just forget about that that buff

[rain vine]

shes not limited, shes permanent
unless you mean implacable

[wind hazel]

what even is royal navy skill

[sinful relic]

is 9-4 better for coin grinding or 9-1?

i want some exp too so uh

[wind hazel]

-4 is always better than any previous map for coin, for that stage

[sinful relic]

thats good to know, im assuming its not the same for exp?

[wind hazel]

less exp per oil

you do get more exp but it also uses more oil

[sinful relic]

cuz i just finished MLB kurumi and would like to get her to level 100

[sinful relic]

ahh okay

is there anyone i should retrofit after unicorn?

[wind hazel]

depends on what you are using

[sinful relic]

the other two ships would be helena, and nelson, someone told me not to retrofit laffey since ill be swapping her out for someone btter sooner or later

[wind hazel]

go for nelson first

[sinful relic]

i was thinking of using helena for my second fleet.

[dull zealot]

1894 based on unix timestamp

[sinful relic]

ohh okay ill do that then, thank you.

[wind hazel]

helena isn't a priority, can retrofit her once you have done the others

her retro matters more when you start bossing properly

[sinful relic]

noted noted, ill try getting san diego when i can, been slowly sacrificing purple doubles for medals. i got 28 days so i should be fine

when does the bossing happen? not campaign im assuming?

[wind hazel]

ye mostly arbiter or meta showdown etc

[sinful relic]

ohh okay, i havent really done those yet, not even opsi, im focusing on campaign more for gems and coins. ill do opsi when kurumi is more leveled

OH i forgot to ask, should i spend my chips to level up laffey above 100?

[main grove]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a suitable retro Essex aircraft?

[wind hazel]

depends on how fast you're replacing laffey lol

[rain vine]

you should be doing them at the same time
the faster you get through opsi story, the sooner you can start farming gear lab mats and unlock the new opsi store

[wind hazel]

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

[sinful relic]

at the moment i dont have a clear replacement, i need one more golden bulin and then i can pretty much MLB any SR for laffeys position, ive been told to use maybe the twins but im unsure how good they are and i dont really wanna use them just to replace them later.

[wind hazel]

if you have DAL units then they will last you very long, until w14

the vanguards anyway

[sinful relic]

ohh okay i may switch laffey out for the twin then.

only problem is i wish to level her up without spending my books

[main grove]

Applies to all ships

[wind hazel]

what are you reserving your books for...

[sinful relic]

saving for the UR

so i can max her out, if thats ok?

[wind hazel]

it's the same process for every ship regardless of their rarity, you exp book them to lv80~90, then grind the rest

[sinful relic]

i posted that in the wrong channel.

[sinful relic]

ohhh okay

so if im building these two, what would they take? i dont think they take laffyes stuff, maybe something similiar to kurumi?

[scarlet cosmos]

Is flandre bad

What makes her bad

[wind hazel]

flandre is strong lol
