[lucid orchid]

Ic u can treat them like
late game content

[knotty jolt]

operation siren is not really late game but actually a decent enough midgame point

[lucid orchid]

Hmm how about prject identity, quarter, and permanent event

[knotty jolt]

I mean the permanent event stuff for the free skins is just extra resources

and for project identity literally idk what it provides then something to do while waiting for morale to regen

[lucid orchid]

[tulip tinsel]

just random minigames you can do if you have time

[lucid orchid]

Ok

[onyx flame]

project identity is basically daughter raising sim gives you a special secretary + their skins for reaching certain endings

[scarlet cosmos]

How is Tai Yuan compared to the other DDGs?

[rain bobcat]

technically the best

[woven star]

Maybe Chang Chun little better as a pair for Harbin if you don't have Fu Shun. But not sure

[rain bobcat]

@stark quiver raffa from @tiny mason

@rapid shard JB, kinda boring but there's 1 good pose atleast

[rapid shard]

Wish it had more to it but still her best skin so far

[rain bobcat]

well her other skins are kinda shit so the bar is low

[woven star]

Where from this pictures?

Want to see Strasbourg

[rain bobcat]

strasbourg has a built in tutorial

[woven star]

Where?

[rain bobcat]

you press the pump or something

or was it her foot

[late flame]

headphone, actually

[woven star]

Ah ok. Thx

Seems I found peach which never seen

[lucid crest]

Which should I MLB first? Shimakaze is a dupe in this list.
Also, should I switch Kronstadt gun to this rainbow? I can use a North Parliament CL gun as her secondary to proc her skill but I don't know if that's a better setup

[rapid shard]

Lion 100%

[tulip tinsel]

if you wait and get 2 laffey2 from rerun you can mlb laffey2

[covert sierra]

Anyone worth buying here?

[lucid crest]

Who's next after that? I have some stashed proto mats to MLB a couple of them

[late flame]

aside from gold bulin, eldridge only if you have her retrofit item

[lucid crest]

Eldridge if you can retrofit her

[covert sierra]

What does it look like?

[forest palm]

a blue tube

[late flame]

if you had to ask that means you do not have it

[rapid shard]

Most likely Z52 but new UR event is just around the corner so wont hurt to wait and see if they busted

[woven star]

@rain bobcat never seen scene when u tap car taillight.

[main patrol]

Does strategic search for opsi go for uncleared sectors first?

[forest palm]

if you set it to explorable, yes

[warm cliff]

i started a new account cuz i dont understand the game anymore, is laffy still good

[fluid merlin]

what skills do i level for vanguard

[forest palm]

just go back to your old account, and read the beginners guide you can find in #bot-spam, there's no benefit to starting an new account

[forest palm]

Order doesn't necessarily matter with Skill Leveling, you can get each to 6 then work on the skills individualy

[warm cliff]

im trying to log out my account, and trying to log in to my old one but it keeps trying to access the new one

both accounts are twitter

[tropic tusk]

just check but is it different twitter account?

[warm cliff]

so what i did was log out right in the settings and then the game gives me 3 choices, fb, twt and yostar

when i tap on the twt it will show a screen that says, "azur lane is trying to access your x account" or something similar,

and it shows the same account that i used to make the new account

[tropic tusk]

android or ios

[whole crypt]

do you mean you just login to a new game because you could just be picking the wrong server

[tropic tusk]

when login it redirect him to twitter, but that twitter is already loged in and cant log out ( i assume)

[cunning bison]

New ur eu event?

[whole crypt]

most likely new UR event based on past schedule, quite likely USS but we won't know till actual announcement

[cunning bison]

Alr thanks

[tulip tinsel]

it better be nj II

[wind hazel]

or what? what you gonna do if not nj ii

[tropic tusk]

depress , sad , betrayed

[umbral briar]

ask, any recomended CA for AA stage 13-3 Hard

[whole crypt]

GL, Cheshire

[tropic tusk]

wts GL

[umbral briar]

GL?

[tropic tusk]

her?

[umbral briar]

still dev 0

[whole crypt]

Cheshire too?

[umbral briar]

i will go with cheshire thanks

[umbral briar]

already mlb

[dark lotus]

Where should i farm with oil efficiency 7-2 or 12-2?

[whole crypt]

7-2 is 🚮

[tropic tusk]

12-2

[dark lotus]

Ohh sorry 11-4 not 12-2

[tropic tusk]

just fyi 12-2 is coin , 12-4 is exp

[whole crypt]

most farming will be done in ch12 when you get there

[dark lotus]

Im trying to get lots of the aa equipment and the purple plates

[whole crypt]

12-4 is better coin/oil

12-1 is better xp/oil

[tropic tusk]

oh i fliped it mb

wait is it 1 or 2 for exp?

[whole crypt]

the actual difference in xp/oil isn't significant but you also get more per morale in 12-4, 12-1 is primarily just easier for really shit ships

[dark lotus]

11-4 is good?

[whole crypt]

if you have 11-4 just move on to 12

[dark lotus]

cost limit in the upper level is better right? than 7-2?

[tropic tusk]

worst u farm at 11-4 best is 12-4

[whole crypt]

any stage with oil cap is basically better than without

[dark lotus]

In 12 there is no aa equipments huhuhu im running out of aa guns hahaha

[tropic tusk]

other then that just farm the highest till u reach at least 11-4

[whole crypt]

you don't need AA guns specifically

[dark lotus]

or should i equip from other ships

am i playing wrong? i want my ships have their own guns/equipments hahaha

[whole crypt]

carrier with proper fighters do just fine

[dark lotus]

OKIIII

Actually i also open 13-4

[whole crypt]

also you might just be using the wrong guns or overlooking good ones you have

[dark lotus]

Should i move there?

[dark lotus]

Im using the buils from the link they shared to me

[whole crypt]

12 is better xp per oil and less likely to murder ships for leveling

[dark lotus]

What starting level i can use there to level up ships? can i use 3 vanguard 100+? or should i do 2 lvl 100+ and 1 lvl 120-125?

Then in backside i will use perseus? coz i need to level up her, or should i team her up with unicorn for full support sytem?

[dry parcel]

This fleet really struggles on 14-4 boss. Any advice?

[whole crypt]

depends on ship and gear, ships can survive 12-1 from 70s-80s with good ships and/or some moderate carrying

[wind hazel]

show gear

[wind hazel]

do you have unzen

[dry parcel]

Yes

[wind hazel]

try this one

and get them to lv125, it will help with closing the level gap

[dry parcel]

Vanguard is fine, my main ships keep on sinking

[whole crypt]

don't remember 14-4 boss being particularly hard on main

[rapid shard]

It can a bit of pain for main if you dont kill the BB waves fast enough before boss spawns in. I had a similar issue. I had to run a faster Gun on BB to spread out Mainfleet salvo/strikes

[whole crypt]

fair, was just thinking of Mogami herself

[rapid shard]

I ran a similar timing setup with NJ Shinano Hakuhou and by 3rd wave of BBs there was a too long of gap between salvos and concealment breaks and they start hammering backline. Twin 457 on alsace should spread out timing enough to avoid it

[lyric briar]

Best fleets for comfyish chapter 15 clear? I have all ships

[undone plover]

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

try and work sth from this guide and post it here if u think it can still be upgraded

[golden moth]

Any uhh hints on whos the next UR or from where faction..

[rapid shard]

🔮

Nothing but guesses and speculation right now. Waiting for announcements

[golden moth]

Hai hai thanksss

[sterile jolt]

Eagle Union

[jolly plover]

Mini event of Helena META talking
Call To Arms with only EU girl
Commander focused mini event
Boise META on pass
Yorktown META on showdown
Yeah, it's Eagle Union, will yah.

[wind hazel]

it's Bismarck Drei

[rapid shard]

surprise empry UR instead to throw everyone off

[jolly plover]

That'd be hilarious

Ay, real quick. Y'all farming for Memories in Echo's points in a specific (more efficient or whatever) stage or just the one of your choices?

[forest palm]

I just live in the 12-4 mines, I got it done in no time

[rapid shard]

Ive just done normal 12-4/13-4 grinding and finished it yesterday

[jolly plover]

Yeah, chose to stay on 12-4 too.
Gotta for my Choukai some day.

[small quarry]

Guys, what kind of ship did you use to get through map 6 without any "difficulties"?

[hollow gust]

good fleets and overleveling, the game is extremly trivial for the first 13 chapters

[forest palm]

me who used Chicago till world 10

[tulip tinsel]

i didn't even use unicorn until like w11 bcs i didn't know she was good lol

[small quarry]

It's kind of annoying having to upload the chapters, and also increasing Shypyard's progress.

[hollow gust]

you shouldnt be farming shipyward until at least w9...

you get far too little exp per oil early on

[small quarry]

I'm doing the missions from the handbook.

[hollow gust]

doesnt change the fact you should wait though

[small quarry]

This mission is for Eagle Union, so that's not even the problem, since I'm using Portland, Phoenix, and Helena. Not taking advantage of this opportunity would be incredibly stupid.

[silk helm]

LMAO

is kurumi better than laffy 2

[whole crypt]

the point is do what makes progression easier first and do the XP farming later, XP becomes much better and faster later on

of course you can farm USS XP while doing earlier chapters just don't expect it to add up to much, and be ready to swap out for other faction ships if it helps you get further

given tech point requirements you're also likely not working anything consequential early on, older series research ships are mostly powercrept

[small quarry]

I only had Saint Louis available, and she asks for Vanguard Eagles Union, so I'm doing it because I only have these 3 Vanguard EA

I know the first PRs are relatively weak lol, it's just a matter of completing a task, and it's the only one I have available at the moment... so why not do it, let's just have fun.

[hollow gust]

Using Tohka instead of Pheonix would make a huge difference in progression

[small quarry]

I only managed to catch Kotori... so... that's it. ❌

[lucid orchid]

im currently lv 90,and there is effect like enable to quick up my tactical class 10 rimes per day. Does this perma?

[tulip tinsel]

gone after dec 10

[lucid orchid]

[hollow gust]

Kurumi is free too

[small quarry]

Today, on my 8th day of logging in, I received an SR Prinz Eugen, a great addition to the team or meh 🤔

[ivory pawn]

She's best off on the bench, but at least she'll look good.

[hollow gust]

kurumi, whos basically free is more then durable enough and has like 3-5x Eugens damage

[small quarry]

I arrived late to the game and couldn't complete the missions 😭

[ivory pawn]

Portland, who doesn't cost SR bulins, is also more than durable enough. I doubt she outdamages Eugen, but you're not using either of them for their damage.

[small quarry]

With these active banners, can you get any character in the game?

For example, with the last banner that has 2 UR, you can only try to get those 2 UR, right?

[red sapphire]

Don't spend on banners that are not event (only 1 daily light). Instead, as a newbie player, try to get the good shipgirls that are outside of gacha (examples: Portland, Unicorn, Helena)

[forest palm]

so Event Banners either pull from the Heavy, or Special Pool(Light almost never happens). Permanent UR are excluded from the pool of UR events, and pulls on event UR Banner do not count towards perm pity

[small quarry]

I'm kind of like Scrooge McDuck 😂, I feel bad about using up cubes, since I'm doing a lot of missions that give me cubes.

[red sapphire]

Do not use them. Do 1 light pull because you complete a daily that returns the crystal

This guide can help you getting some ok ships outside of gacha for early game https://azurlaneecgc.com/early_ship_recommendations/

[small quarry]

I was already wanting to ask this, are you going to be the chosen one... you guys farm cubes just to use in collaboration banners and UR events.

[clear harbor]

More or less. UR specifically.

[red sapphire]

Most people likelly do that, yes

Unless they are collectors or there are ships they want yes or yes

Also, feel free to ask if you need anything else

[small quarry]

Many comments suggest the new UR could be EA, class Iowa, Alaska, or Missouri ; how true is that?

Thanks everyone for welcoming me so warmly 😎 ... since I asked twice on the game's Reddit and the post was deleted both times... damn them.

[red sapphire]

Me my self, no idea

All I know that will 100% happen is what they announce on #game-news . May be someone knows

[hollow gust]

Cause its useless predicting Urs

[small quarry]

I understand, creating only cheap speculation and provoking things without knowing, there's always that kind of thing.

[true kraken]

Is any UR have aug yet?

[forest palm]

Sandy and Warkai don't count

[true kraken]

prob the content in game not hard enough for them to make a improve on UR

[soft raft]

that's not really the reason why they do augs

[zinc cave]

they flip a coin instead

[soft raft]

the game difficulty has barely moved outside of W15 being a thing and new META fights being tougher

[jolly plover]

Yuudachi Kai sitting in the corner eating her meat.

[forest palm]

she doesn't have a UE afaik

[true kraken]

Do we have aug tier list for which aug should be priority in making them first?

[forest palm]

one of suchi's guides has it...

[true kraken]

is it in pin?

[red sapphire]

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

[true kraken]

Thanks

[red sapphire]

No problem

[true kraken]

what is new skk mean?

[zinc cave]

if ur a new player aka is it worth investing into early

[soft raft]

New player
SKK is community slang for the Commander (aka you the player) in Japanese

[vague shadow]

I’m doing the 1 million EXP quest. Do ships that already maxed out still count EXP after sweeping?

[true kraken]

is this one good?

[onyx flame]

it is but i wouldnt craft sub gear until your actually planning to raise a sub fleet

[red sapphire]

Yes, but you shouldn't craft it yet. Submarines are not a priority, you can wait to craft it

[true kraken]

I have a mission

[onyx flame]

if you really want it done make something more useful for your fleet like z46 gun or what have you

[red sapphire]

You also can craft a purple if you want to earn gold mats

[slate siren]

ive been playing op siren and still have 0 of these, where do i get them?

[onyx flame]

strongholds, hiddens, abyssals, arbiters, cat nodes its kinda rng

[zinc cave]

and the supply store

[jolly plover]

Yeh. All luck. Will happen sooner or later.

Except for the one on the OpSi shop, that is.

[red sapphire]

Also check if you have this. Sometimes rewards are deployed as this

[slate siren]

where is op siren shop?

[jolly plover]

At the ports

[red sapphire]

You can enter the shop when you visit certain ports

[tulip tinsel]

blue ports

red ports lowk useless🥀

[red sapphire]

I'm colorblind, I totally missed that

[onyx flame]

if you done chp 4 of opsi you can buy the blanks from st petersburg, if not you have to check all the blue port shop and pray i guess

[jolly plover]

You'll want this one.

[onyx flame]

free access point to other bits of the map trust

[tulip tinsel]

Wait that's true fr

[small quarry]

I have some R ships, do you have all of them with Limit Break or do they withdraw to collect coins?

[tulip tinsel]

i scrap blue ships for medals

[small quarry]

only the base body remains 😭

Unicorn misson what better Augment ?

[hollow gust]

scepter on every CV, although you should be saving your augment mats on the SR ones

[small quarry]

I need to do this and the retrofit. I'm using Unicornio for these mandatory missions.

[ivory pawn]

If this is for the Beginner missions, you don't need to finish the whole page to unlock the next. So you can wait until later when you have a character with a Unique Augment you want to craft.

[hollow gust]

just do the missions slower

there is no need to rush it that hard that you detriment yourself

[sleek spade]

Hey guys. Does spearfish rocket has singular target shooting or is it just a spray?

Oh so I can use it against light boss like skyraider if I don’t have enough skyraider?

[fair lance]

I believe it's parallel not converging and it's damage is more heavy and medium not light.

[ivory pawn]

Spearfish is a Torp bomber, Skyraider is a Dive Bomber. For a flex slot, a Rocket Fighter would usually be preferred vs Light/Med bosses iirc.

[stark quiver]

The torps are parallel

[hollow gust]

Much of spearfish is still parallel torps which is not that good for single target bosses

[ivory pawn]

I lied, Skyraider can actually be really nice in the Flex slot vs Light, but regardless you don't bring Spearfish vs bosses.

[inland storm]

does leaving a hard mode stage use up an attempt? i accidentally started it in clearing mode

[fair lance]

As long as you don't kill the boss it doesn't count.

[rapid summit]

Could lion’s gun get added back if her rerun came out? Or a 1 time thing?

[inland storm]

okay, thx

[fair lance]

It'll come back during her rerun but who knows how long till it's perm.

[rapid summit]

Okk ty

[tulip tinsel]

i mean unzen gun rerun so prob lion gun too~~ in like 1.5years~~

[ivory pawn]

Event reruns always include the same unique rewards as the original event, so it should be back around March 2027 or whenever it was.

[ocean terrace]

just got Emden from my daily light pull, I see she has some sort of use on the endgame rankings, is she worth using at all for me?

[sleek spade]

Unfortunate

So sad…

[cobalt rampart]

hello, I've looked this up quite a lot but there are a lot of differing answers and some of them were from years ago. is there a defacto best way to grind commander xp that is oil efficient? I'm commander 52 right now. I also have nearly maxed out archive keys

[ivory pawn]

She's very much a "I want to use this ship specifically" kind of ship. Or in short, no.

[fair lance]

The best way to level commander level before w9 is war archive and using a full fleet of 6 ships. If you mean you used all your keys then just do the highest campaign you can with full fleet of 6 ships

[ivory pawn]

In War Archives:
If you can clear Polaris SP5 or whatever its final stage was called, it's the best option due to oil cap.
Divergent Chessboard D4 is also a solid option. Also has oil cap, and drops various IB ships to help you build up tech points for Shipyard.
Otherwise, just using full fleets on the latest chapter.

[upbeat wagon]

Do I buy yat sen's equipment or more white/black shells, i already have a couple shells

[true kraken]

can this fleet do 12-4?

[tulip tinsel]

if you mlb and bring decent enough aa gun yeah it should be able to clear it, and level more levels

[ivory pawn]

More investment is key, levels are probably too low atm. Also put the Twins in the center, they're the squishiest of the DaL Vanguards. Probably want Kurumi on the left, but Tohka should be fine.

[true kraken]

between these 2 which one should I craft more for general use?

on CL main gun

[tulip tinsel]

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

[upbeat wagon]

Is there a time where BB doesnt use white shell?

[hollow gust]

musashi

[forest palm]

very rare situations

[upbeat wagon]

What does she use

[hollow gust]

Table/Hsfcr + Black/Autoloader

fite me stigma

[sweet delta]

AA radar

[hollow gust]

[sweet delta]

White is almost always better than black shell, sometimes you don't use white shell because of autoloader or weird campaign things

[ocean terrace]

would you say all the DAL ships are worth getting to 125? other than Yoshino
I'm using them for my mob/boss fleet so they are being used

[upbeat wagon]

alright

[stark quiver]

No

[tulip tinsel]

kurumi or tohka maybe if you plan to use long term

[ocean terrace]

well I don't think I'll get 3 vanguards better than them (Yamai twins too) until Guam/Laffey

[stark quiver]

what chapter are you on

[ocean terrace]

just unlocked 11

[stark quiver]

you do not need 125 anytime soon

[ocean terrace]

alr tyyy

[soft raft]

Lvl 125 is for W14 and above

[ocean terrace]

got it, I still awakened Unicorn though, since she's always gonna be in use

[upbeat wagon]

Would I be able to do W14?

[soft raft]

That image does not really give us enough info to tell for sure

[stark quiver]

maybe

[soft raft]

If you really want help, post your dock in a thread

[upbeat wagon]

W14 help

[stray crane]

anyone got the opsi farming guide the c3 stuff

[stark quiver]

what do u need help with

[stray crane]

farm gear lab prints in opsi

someone told me to keep doing c3 for the cat node thing

[stark quiver]

its an option yes
you just open ap boxes
Recommended strategic search settings are:
Repeat zone yes
Stop for mysterious merchant yes
Don’t pause when encountering siren construct
Never Display coordinate reminder
Yes automatically exchange items

[undone plover]

this is only after u clear every icon on the map

[stray crane]

i did

except the hard abiter cant clear it

[undone plover]

well just make sure u have 200 AP per week for new strongholds
did u also buy all the coords in the port and exchange shops?

[stray crane]

almost

[undone plover]

do C3 after those then
C3 is negative on AP
meaning u will run out on AP if u do it

[stray crane]

okay

[stark quiver]

everything is negative ap

[undone plover]

except C1

[forest palm]

depends on if you do it right

[red sapphire]

How good is Hood on End Game for mob fleet?

[ocean terrace]

not very good.

[red sapphire]

Hmm I kind regret 125 her now

[ocean terrace]

definitely shouldn't have

[red sapphire]

Does she have any use?

[ocean terrace]

also don't you have UR BBs? from what I saw earlier you have good BB options anyway

[tulip tinsel]

old starter bb pretty much it

[tulip thorn]

Whats the best fleet to farm in 15-1 while leveling 1 vanguard ship?

[red sapphire]

Oh yes, sure. I wanted to know if she has any use

[ocean terrace]

just check the spreadsheet for the ship you're looking at

ok the link doesn't wanna work

but you get what I mean

[red sapphire]

Yeah, I have It don't worry. I wanted to know if she had a niche or something

[ocean terrace]

they're usually mentioned if they do in the spreadsheet, also it's categorised so that useful ships are at the top of the list, including niches

[red sapphire]

I see, thanks

[sweet delta]

Hood's niche is having a bug that 99.9% of players don't know about and will never encounter ||oh wait, that's so common it's not a niche||
If you make her reload faster than 12 seconds, her barrage will only fire every other salvo despite being 100% chance.

[ocean terrace]

so she has a bug that makes her even worse than she is

[sweet delta]

i mean having a reload faster than 12 seconds is already gearing her badly or memely

[red sapphire]

[true kraken]

Does opsi give special core?

[stark quiver]

yea

[true kraken]

is there Opsi guide for fleet set up?

[onyx flame]

Not really its mostly just 1 mobbing fleet plus x no of bossing fleet

[true kraken]

like 1 mob, 1 CV boss, 1 AP boss, 1 HE boss?

[rain vine]

mob, CV, BB, flex
flex can be just remaining crossfleet ships you have or a specific anti-armor if you dont want to change gear

[obtuse island]

just got my first la9, do i only want to use it for med armor bosses?

[stark quiver]

no

[obtuse island]

so light and med

[stark quiver]

heavy too
on figher slots

light if no hvars and 109g

[obtuse island]

alr ty

[true kraken]

what to buy

[rain vine]

thats not exactly helpful if we dont know what exactly is available for you to buy

[ivory pawn]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/shop_priority/#voucher

Costs 2,160, you can spend the other ~2800 on Classified File Loggers for a UR Print per Logger plus other mats (one time only purchases, don't refresh), the Hidden Zone Data Logger to Strategic Search Hidden Zones, Red t4 skill books, or META Crystal Fragments.

[true kraken]

what about this

[stark quiver]

its useful if u dont wanna be map locked and cant jump between nodes

[ivory pawn]

Nice QoL to save time if you have excess oil. Not necessary, can just do your zones and Recon to auto.

[true kraken]

so you guys said these can be purchased only 1 time? or I can purchase again after refresh?

[weary edge]

idk why id even question it but support ships count as main fleet when ur grinding xp for pr development right

[viscid swift]

support fleet ships don't gain XP

[pulsar shell]

what is skin projection ?

[spiral glacier]

can someone help with a fleet for 13-1 ? send me a print with the fleet + gear ?

i know i need a lot of AA

[fair lance]

It allows you to put PR ships in more than 1 secretary slots

[tulip tinsel]

just slots to flex Skins, useless if you have none

[pulsar shell]

oh weird

[fair lance]

It's because you can only get 1 copy of the PR ships it's been a complaint so they did this.

[weary edge]

zoinks

[pulsar shell]

why would I need that, when I already have Roon and Roon ɥ

[hollow gust]

You can't really copy peoples comp, send your fleet in a thread

[weary edge]

oh wait i meant repair ships, are those the same thing

[viscid swift]

no

repair ships do count as main fleet ships

[weary edge]

oopsies

[ivory pawn]

The Classifieds are one-time only purchases yes, never reset. Just buy some if you have excess vouchers and need UR prints.

[weary edge]

ok ty 🙏

[spiral glacier]

ok

[true kraken]

ok

[kind slate]

How long is the insta skill lvl thing gonna stay?

[proper violet]

Should I put my wyvern on unicorn saratoga or origami?

[undone plover]

sara cant equip it
just put it on unicorn
she has a preload so she will send planes twice by the time origami sends 1 attack

[kind slate]

Also do we know what the December UR is?

[forest palm]

18th

[undone plover]

I think the event is Eagle Union
but no idea about the UR
ppl have their speculations but all of that is baseless

[kind slate]

Aight. How many cubes would I be able to get from now until banner end?

[forest palm]

a month gives you 168 guaranteed, so maybe roughly 120 cubes by the 18th, and the event is 2 weeks long

[undone plover]

around 200 cubes I would say

[forest palm]

how many do you have now

[kind slate]

90 rn

[forest palm]

gonna be rough then

[kind slate]

yea gotta get saving lol

[scenic mesa]

Hey guys how can I get Tashkent the most convenient way possible?

[agile patrol]

Enterprise II

[fair lance]

You pray she shows up in gacha or wait till the next wishing well event(not for a while iirc)

[scenic mesa]

Thanks

[eternal moth]

Enty META

[zenith heron]

is there any gameplay significance for Painleve's Dive Bomber and Torp. Bomber Slot switched compared to the standard Fighter-DB-TB position slot, like let me say, efficiency reasons?

[forest palm]

DBs lack passive intercept so it'll affect your AA

[ivory pawn]

There isn't.

She's also not the only one. Ark Royal has TBs on slots 1 and 2, with the DB on the 3rd slot as well for example.

[strange sphinx]

the copium I'm waiting for

[ocean terrace]

I've got 2 White Shells and 1 Black Shell from the core data shop, should my next target be Independence, Breguet or Firebrand (for future Wyvern)?
My current CVs are Origami, Enterprise and Saratoga

[warm cliff]

how do i save this account

i just came back

[sweet delta]

what's in your medal shop, BB CV CL DD SS

[warm cliff]

wait

[sweet delta]

independence if you can retrofit her soon, else breguet

[sweet delta]

and how many exp packs do you have

[warm cliff]

where do i see medal shop again

[mint fable]

Shop -> Supply -> Monthly -> Medal

[rapid shard]

Dont bother buying firebrand till you have all the mats to craft wyvern. Firebrand and the next gold between it and wyvern is pretty mid as well.

[analog tendon]

this question isn't even meant for me and it still gives me depression....ffs i need so much exp

[warm cliff]

here

[mint fable]

Can you show what's inside that "SR SS" & "SR CV"?

[sweet delta]

just go look on the wiki...

[rapid shard]

Isn't the SS selector a single sub anyway?

[warm cliff]

oops

[ivory pawn]

SS is just the one sub, ignore it.
CV is a bunch of Carriers, but I bet you're gonna be told to pick up Enterprise once you get a few more medals.

[sweet delta]

Nelson Unicorn Enterprise(from medal shop) Terrible Portland Laffey
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[warm cliff]

alright

[sweet delta]

you can retire all blue Royal Navy CAs and DDs for medals, and also york/exeter if you need more medals

[warm cliff]

and then i try getting exp cards?

[sweet delta]

use them on portland and enterprise to catch them up so that they don't die in whatever you're farming

retrofit Unicorn asap, shouldn't have done laffey

[warm cliff]

sorry, when i was playing this game back then, the ytber said, laffey is so damn good, and so i did

[sweet delta]

i can count on half a hand the number of youtubers who give decently good advice

[ivory pawn]

Eh, might've been during the old beginner missions, not a big loss if so.

[sweet delta]

laffey was never good, you only had to retrofit her for the rookie missions, but now those missions don't exist

[ivory pawn]

Yeah, so now it's a terrible idea. But what about during one of the Gridman collabs?

[warm cliff]

i currently have bad gears and retrofit blueprints, should i focus on that?

cuz idrk where to start

[ivory pawn]

Start by clearing any Hard x-4, preferably chapter 3 or later. So 3-4, 4-4, 5-4, etc.

[stray crane]

wait how come they let u exchange enterprize

[ivory pawn]

Different servers get different hull types in their medal shop.

[stray crane]

damn

[eternal moth]

It changes every month

Each server gets the same ships in the medal shop overall, but the class of ship available changes based on the server.

And that's what rotates every month.

So for example, I'm on Avrora, and we have BB and SS this month. Next month it may be CL and CA

[ivory pawn]

has CL and CA.

[warm cliff]

will there be an upcoming event? so i won’t accidentally spend my cubes

[stray crane]

bro how u guys farm c1 took me almost 70 ap to get the merchant to show up

[ivory pawn]

Don't spend your cubes anyways except the daily Light pull.

[olive urchin]

When do the oath rings go on sale? Trying to figure out if I should buy them now or wait

[ivory pawn]

Next event (UR too btw) should be not this week, but the upcoming week.

[stray crane]

not 12/11 ?

[ivory pawn]

Not 12/11.

[stark quiver]

i pray

[ivory pawn]

I'd wait at least until UR event starts. Maybe it will, maybe it won't.

[warm cliff]

how many light pull should i be doing daily?

[ivory pawn]

The daily light pull. Singular.

You get a ship, you get a point towards pity, and its fully refunded via a mission.

[warm cliff]

alright thanks

do i need to have 2 fleet to reach ch9

[sweet delta]

[warm cliff]

ooh i see

[static harbor]

So anyone noteworthy among the A Live crew?

[ivory pawn]

Vanguards are high gold at worst, Main Fleet is ok.

[static harbor]

Collection then, thanks

[sweet delta]

i heard that level 100 kurumi tanked 15-4 lethal on auto

[ocean terrace]

how much priority does Hindenburg have compared to other DRs?

[ivory pawn]

She doesn't.

[true kraken]

lord

[ocean terrace]

fantastic

[ivory pawn]

Hinden's one of the highest DPS vanguard ships, but unfortunately that's just not a useful niche.

[warm cliff]

how to know what type of retrofit bp does the hard stage drop

[ocean terrace]

similar to Unzen?

[knotty jolt]

The maps will show them before entering

[ivory pawn]

x-1 drops Destroyer, x-2 drops Cruiser, x-3 drops Battleship, x-4 drops Carrier.

[static harbor]

Chapayev or Aurora vs. Light? I know Auro debuffs CL's but Chap doesnt

[warm cliff]

ohh thanks

[stark quiver]

which boss

[static harbor]

Uhhh lets say Yuudachi META for reference

[stark quiver]

aurora if no trafalgar and chappy if trafalgar

[reef bane]

is there any other way to get commander xp besides doing campaign

[static harbor]

No Traf, ive Z52 tho

[stark quiver]

aurora then

z52, aurora eld

or z52 aurora plymouth

assuming bbs

[static harbor]

Anti Light CV's

York/Essex/Kear

[ivory pawn]

Operation Siren if you've unlocked it. War Archive if you have keys, Polaris SP5 is usually recommended.

[vocal niche]

will Call to Arms event comes with a banner, or this will another no banner week

[fair lance]

This coming maintenance will be the call to arms

[stark quiver]

still same thing prob

[viscid swift]

latter

[eternal moth]

CtA is a prequel event, meaning the banner will come a week later.

[strong tartan]

what was the gimmick for arizona meta and what teams were best to fight her again

[sweet delta]

any rainbow main fleet plus any rainbow super high speed vanguard

[small quarry]

Which map between 1-6, even War Archives, can I get more gold by replaying matches 🤔 ?

[ivory pawn]

Highest stage you can do.
If you can, ideally see if you can do War Archives > Polaris SP5.

what

[swift vector]

need help with opsi fleet build

[sinful relic]

that would be nice imo

[soft raft]

I highly doubt that for both IRL and lore reasons but that's a convo for #al-lore or #al-general

[warm cliff]

how do i get currency for this

[stark quiver]

you cant anymore

[eternal moth]

Event's over

[eternal moth]

Enty Retro is far more likely, since she had several throughout the war. Enty 2 would imply CVN-65, which is a whole different can of worms

[rain bobcat]

[sinful relic]

modernization into UR? i wouldnt mind that iether

[soft raft]

You just missed the collab event by a few days
when a event ends, the event shop stays up for a extra week in case people forgot to spend the event pts

[warm cliff]

aww, when's the next event

[sinful relic]

i managed to get nelson retrofitted pretty easily, whose the next girl i should focus on? san diego? still need to yoink her but i can do that.

[soft raft]

later this month, likely 12/18 since we have Call To Arms this week

[warm cliff]

alrighty

[warm cliff]

is that a unicorn skin? looks cute

[soft raft]

It's her post-retrofit skin yes

[warm cliff]

OH COOL

[sweet delta]

independence before san diego, also we dont know what your options are

[sinful relic]

well helena was likely gonna be next, but im getting san diego prety soon

[sick kettle]

how do you get a flawless recon on guild operation?

[warm cliff]

if i push through ch 9, should i 3 star everything or do it later on

[sinful relic]

when trying to retrofit unicorn, i pretty much did it since ill need the gems for stuff

[warm cliff]

alright thanks

[onyx flame]

you want to 3 star anyway since it unlocks hardmode for that chp and you want to try do the highest chp one you can for more core data

[ocean terrace]

if I'm in need of gold retroprints, and I haven't 3 starred some lower chapter hard mode stages, is it better to just farm the highest one I can, or go 3 star lower ones (above W3)

[onyx flame]

If your really desperate you can go 3 star the lower ones. It really depends on how long you wanna wait

[north gorge]

Why not both? You can 3 star using only one attempt

[ocean terrace]

I'm about 5 gold prints off of retrofitting San Diego, I'm in no hurry though

[ocean terrace]

not really, the 2nd star takes 2-4 attempts (no oil cap either)

[onyx flame]

Nah you can kill all the mobs leave and then redo so it only take 1 attempt

[north gorge]

If you've already done the all enemies star on a map you can just farm the mob fleets by retreating before killing the noss

[onyx flame]

It just eats a lot of oil

[ocean terrace]

oh right, I do that but then I miss out boss rewards

[onyx flame]

But it doesnt take a hardmode attempt so your not really missing out on anything

[north gorge]

You want to spend your daily attempts in the highest world you can do anyway

[ocean terrace]

alright I'll keep that in mind ty

[onyx flame]

No rush anyway cause in like 2 weeks new event means more retro prints soon

[ocean terrace]

I feel like every day is dragging out waiting for this event, since it'll be my first UR event and all

[sick kettle]

which hull that benefit the most for the blue smoothie thingy aux

[ocean terrace]

unemployment at it's finest

[sweet delta]

None

also someone didn't read the story. Smoothie?

[sick kettle]

-# im definitely not clicking skip on each of those stories

[zinc cave]

You mean this? https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Blue_Sea_Mystery

It's kinda eh, but poverty FP/EVA aux for CA/CL if you have nothing else better to use

[sweet delta]

If you have nothing better to use, then you're a new player and should not be fishing for FP in vanguard auxes

[sinful relic]

how good is nelson retrofit? she seems so much better compared to what she was. but im unsure if its counted as above average

[zinc cave]

Strong mobbing BB retrofit for new players

Consider her above average

[icy stag]

Just got back into the game and realized I did not do much in the way of gears

Is there a website that lists Gears you can farm in non event stages just till I get something better in later events

[zinc cave]

[zinc cave]

[icy stag]

Ohh

[onyx flame]

or any map stages for that matter
most of your new player gear would come from tech boxes, while mid/endgame would be from gearlab with opsi mats

[eternal moth]

Or research

[icy stag]

Ohh right

[onyx flame]

oh yea that too forgor

[zinc cave]

and select few event stages, but yes what they said

[icy stag]

Alright

[zinc cave]

first link has thorough detail on gear and sources

[viscid swift]

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

[true kraken]

is there anyway to change SR copies to SR bullin?

[zinc cave]

Not in the way you want

You can retire SR ships into Medals (10 per), and then accumulate enough to buy 2 monthly limited SR Bulins or a select few SR dupe, (80 per) from the Medal Shop but nothing exists that swaps 1 to 1

[west steeple]

In OpSi, all my items at storage will be converted to voucher every 1st day of the month right?

[onyx flame]

yea make sure to use up all ap boxes and loggers

[west steeple]

okok thanks

[zinc cave]

Yes, unless the OpSi story hasn't been finished yet

[ivory sigil]

I manage to clear 10-4 and totally clueless about the handbook mission

Does this handbook mission reset monthly/weekly? Or it is only 1 time per PR season

[west steeple]

does storyline means every chapter or only until chapter 4?

[zinc cave]

Need to complete Chapter 4

[zinc cave]

1 time per

[ocean terrace]

handbook is a beginner's thing that gives you rewards once, won't come back again after you complete it all

[ivory sigil]

Just unlock OPSI daily mission after u speedrun the OPSIcampaign4th

You dont need to beat the enemy, just click straight to the objective

[ivory sigil]

So we need to develop 1 each season to get those juicy combat data?

[ocean terrace]

no just 1 from series 6

oh you mean all of them?

[tulip tinsel]

you need a pr6 ship developed

[warm cliff]

is it worth it to buy the dock expansion

[ivory sigil]

But i just catch up 100 from flandre
It would take like 3 months for 6 months since i only click on focus PR8

[ocean terrace]

I think they were referring to every dev mission

[onyx flame]

after you gotten 3rd dorm slot and 2nd floor yea, as an f2p its what you should really only be buying after

[ivory sigil]

Errrr dock isnt dorm, i think he refer to 150/150 dock slot??

[zinc cave]

you're misreading

[onyx flame]

im talking about the prio of spending gems

[ocean terrace]

they're saying the priority is dorm then dock

[warm cliff]

yeah

[ocean terrace]

basically use your gems for 3rd dorm slot and 2nd floor, then start upgrading dock space

[warm cliff]

alright thanks

[ocean terrace]

also how do you have series 6 missions unlocked?

[onyx flame]

you can select any from the list

but to finish you have to dev one ship of that series series

[ocean terrace]

it says completed though

[ivory sigil]

I thought i could select and then deselect any if i got into a wall

[ocean terrace]

am I being stupid

[ivory sigil]

Am i being screwed?

[rapid shard]

Just in case there's confusion you dont have to dev30 a pr6 ship you just need to build the ship

[ocean terrace]

wait so you can select which series of missions you're doing?

[rapid shard]

Would highly reccomened doing Shimanto for PR6

[onyx flame]

yea you can pick any, its just to finish and pick another series you have to build one ship of said series you select

[sweet delta]

you can select any handbook research series, but once you select one you can't change it until you finish it

[ocean terrace]

ahhh must've been near the beginning then since I don't remember

[sweet delta]

so if you pick series 6 you're screwed becasu you don't have tech points

[ocean terrace]

that's what I was thinking...

surely you just go for series 1 first

[onyx flame]

p much

[ocean terrace]

though I think they were aiming for Flandre, from what I can remember

after I finish it though, I can choose whichever series to do correct?

beautiful so I can do series 2 and go for FDG, after Roon

[onyx flame]

i mean there 2 series 1 so you could finish that first

[ocean terrace]

is there a point though, series 1 ships aren't great iirc

[onyx flame]

combat data pack for protocore

[ocean terrace]

even Roon is mostly for tech points since I can't do anyone else

[onyx flame]

plus blanks for protocores later

[ocean terrace]

true, but I want a decent BB asap

maybe after FDG since Agir will take some more tech points

[ivory sigil]

💀 i just gated my ownself upon picking a gurl i prefer, since i did want to check the newbie guide to see which to select, but none of them told me

[onyx flame]

i mean yea, but as in the dev mission doesnt stop you from deving fdg
so while your building fdg you can finish the first 2 series 1 dev mission in the handbook get combat data packs to turn into protocore, save the pr1 blanks after roon is dev 30 to get more protocore and once your done with those 2 go do series 2 dev mission

[rapid shard]

Shimanto will probably be the easiest for you to get points for considering how many IJN ships are available throu drops and shops

[ocean terrace]

but wouldn't I need to develop a different series 1 ship to get the 2nd series 1 rewards?

[onyx flame]

nop

[ocean terrace]

oh? but I wouldn't be developing a series 1 ship after Roon

[ivory sigil]

there isnt enough for catch up, only 300 and i already use 100 for flandre, beside even if i do, i had to switch the focus into PR6 instead of PR8, cuz iirc we need like 550 bps for 1 girl iirc

[onyx flame]

yea thats fine, the mission just need you have alr built a pr1 ship to finish it

[rapid shard]

St. Louis is good to dev and level for future ship requirements

[onyx flame]

it just check if you dev any of that season ship, if you have it finishs it

[rapid shard]

Dont need catch up for the mission. Plus PR6 golds will be coinable soon so you dont want to use blanks on them. Save blanks to convert to protocore

[ocean terrace]

oh I see, so the final mission of building a PR1 ship is completed automatically
I'd only be doing it for the data pack missions

[rapid shard]

You should never ever use blanks for coinable ships (PR5 and below, DR4 and below)

[ocean terrace]

ahhh I got it thank you

[onyx flame]

there some exceptions unless you really wanna minmax protocore

[ocean terrace]

yeah cheeky argued I might wanna use my catchup prints for FDG but I think I'll save them for protocores

it'll only delay it by a couple weeks

[ivory sigil]

you mean we shouldnt catch up any even fdg or anchorge and let it only for protocoin?

[rapid shard]

Eh id argue that waiting a extra 10-15 days is worth waiting and coining over losing free gear that is a massive boost.

[ocean terrace]

my thoughts exactly

[onyx flame]

more like a month for pr

especially if you lack good vanguards 😔

[rapid shard]

Its advised against. The protocore you can get for the 300bps is worth a ton for getting Tenrai, 457, ply gun etc

[ocean terrace]

thing is, once I get to 12-4 I'll probably stop pushing campaign hard and settle a little to get gear, farm coins and level my ships anyway
so I don't mind some time off

[verbal plinth]

dont forget to get your 4k oil this week about to reset in 30

[rapid shard]

For context here is cost and time to just coin a PR. Catch up will save time but will set you back quite a bit on getting high end gear

[onyx flame]

i know i can prob do chp 13 and maybe 14 but i just dont wanna

[rapid shard]

not me rush clearing 13 1.5 months into game and working on W15 fleets right now

Here is the breakdown down for DRs as well

[onyx flame]

cost doubled by the days didnt halfed

[ivory sigil]

jesus, how many day would it take for no coin cost?

[rapid shard]

That is completely dependent on research focus (Gear or Ships)

[onyx flame]

172 days for pr dev 30 coin up
257 days for dr dev 30 coin up
if only free bps

[rapid shard]

Also a little RNG on getting facecards and if your taking cube projects

Ah I thought he was referring to noncoinable ships

[onyx flame]

average is like 3 months to dev 1 ship plus extra for others or something like from research

[idle perch]

for meowfficer, how to upgrade talent? assume I have a shit ton of resources.

[rain bobcat]

you either save 15 days on DR or amazingly get 3000 protocore

[ivory sigil]

then you can spam cat boxes. you need to lv5 each one to increase 1 talent each time

[rapid shard]

3k is a rainbow gear from shop too

[onyx flame]

just level em, either from comforts, battling or feed other cats to it

i should dev finish hakuryuu so i can start coining her

[idle perch]

to upgrade a talent, u can enhance them using 1 cat of the same skill that is level 5?

[rain bobcat]

just do minimum on hakuryuu

if you have hakuhou and shinano there's basically no use for hakuryuu unless you wanna eldridge cope

[rapid shard]

Each 5lvs you get a upgrade point for talents

[ivory sigil]

no need same skill, just toss any cat into their exp upgrade (for each lv5 they increase, the cat gain 1 point of upgrade/learn new skill for them)

[onyx flame]

im waiting for amagi cv to do eldridge cope

[idle perch]

but lvl 30 only gives 6 talent points. assuming im making a "perfect" cat, its impossible to max all talents

[rapid shard]

Im almost FS5 for ryuu, if I wanna eld cope how much would dmg improve dropping AvP for Ryuu? With Nano and Hakuhou

[ivory sigil]

depend on what cat you develop

[onyx flame]

yea thats normal, sr cats have basically a 10 point limit so a perfect cat is just 10/10 points in the good stuff

[rain bobcat]

much higher

if you have enough rld to make the most out of eldridge then its quite worth especially on hermit

[rapid shard]

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

Give this a read

[rain bobcat]

hakuryuu does like what, a few % more dmg than shinano

I don't even think avp is close to shinano on heavy

[rapid shard]

How much Rld is needed for eld to really shine?

[rain bobcat]

like 30CV rld maybe or something

the thing is, hermit has a pattern and the closer you get to max rld the less inconsistency you have

[rapid shard]

im only at like 7 right now

[rain bobcat]

when you are out of sync with hermits pattern, hermit can very slightly move under eldridge slow causing half ur shit to miss

[rapid shard]

There a breakdown of sync windows for Hermit?

[rain bobcat]

idk, I just run typical 20-21s CV setup

[idle perch]

so i cant level up talents using enhancing

[rain bobcat]

wel there's 2 sync points technically

either you are so slow that you actually hit hermit when she stops moving herself, or you are fast enough that you can cheese her movement and guarantee all hits

[ivory sigil]

idk about u guys but do you all have the same 1st cat as this one?

i had this on my1st purple cat and other future cat doesnt had even if they were goldenbox

[zinc cave]

It's RNG what you get

[rain bobcat]

she goes forward, side or something and then fully backward

high CV rld can hit when shes about to move in a straight line backward with eldridge cope

[rapid shard]

Completely RNG and honestly just focus in getting 2 cats to +20 lvl for opsi cat nodes. Focusing for skills is late late game thing

[rapid shard]

Not as far as im aware just the upgrade point at 5,10,15,20,25 and lv30

[idle perch]

so 6 talent points in total?

[rapid shard]

I believe so, granted im not the cat expert and im just now starting to mess with them myself

Im just following the guide I linked above.

[onyx flame]

6 points you can get from levels plus the 4 additional you get as base for sr cats makes it 10 and thats the cap

[eager mulch]

UR helena announced yet?

[rain bobcat]

turtle's quarterly coping

[zinc cave]

Elite has base 2 talents points, SR has base 4 talents points.
For SR if you get a special Talent as a base it can override a 2 point base so you basically end up with -1 talent point

[eager mulch]

wtf

[warm cliff]

should i get this

[zinc cave]

White Shell priority first

[warm cliff]

thankss

is there a way to get more core data

[rapid shard]

Daily hard mode gives core data

[zinc cave]

Daily Hard Mode is the only consistent source

Some events occasionally have Core Data as a reward, but not common

[warm cliff]

ohh i see

so should i get the white shell first as my first ever purchase

[zinc cave]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[zinc cave]

Reference this chart, though I would put less priority on Black Shells. The typical battleship setup uses a White Shell + High Performance Fire Control Radar (or equivalent) to maximize Hit Rate.

[warm cliff]

okay thanksss

[onyx flame]

the reco amount is like 3 white and 1/2 black then you can start working on the other stuff

[warm cliff]

ok i will keep that in mind

[ivory sigil]

i keep doing hardmode too late and end up fail to complete before the dailyreset

was try to maximize my lvl to reach the highest hardmap

[warm cliff]

is it good to 3 star all the lower hard main chapters, and then progress onwards or should i just grind on higher ones? maybe like ch 6 or 7? (i have not tested my limit)

[ivory sigil]

unless you don't priortize on highest Coredata, then most lowerhard map is just there for Retrofit item if you're missing 1

[onyx flame]

grind the highest one, only 3 star older ones if you need the guarantee gold prints

[ivory sigil]

how to disable a catch up?

[rapid shard]

Im 99.9% sure you cant disable it

[ivory sigil]

so what happen to people who use catch up to the max on dev1 ship, arent that suppose to be doing if you want protocore?

[rain vine]

nothing you can do about it, you just dont get those protocores

you can switch it to a different catchup, finish it, and not set another one

[ivory sigil]

yeah i was expect that, i can just select St louis and then click develop her so they will automatically turn those bp into something i can change into protocore?

or am i wrong?

[rain vine]

assuming you already have her at dev 30, yes
you can only convert excess bps from the dev 30 amount

[west steeple]

Is Abyssal difficulty depends on Corrosion Level?

[onyx flame]

yea

[ivory sigil]

wait so how to dev1 to dev30 without using bp?

[rain vine]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Shipyard#Coins

[ivory sigil]

oh so this image is about ^ coin for the bp to make dev1 to dev30 right?

[rain vine]

yes

[rapid shard]

You can tell if its coinable by the little gold coin next to the blueprint symbol (look at left one). Right one is not coinable for example

[ivory sigil]

yeah i saw the coin i just dont get the process yet so.

1st. prepare Fleet Tech = Start dev
2nd. prepare Materials, Tech EXP = Ship dev1
3rd. prepare Coin & Bps = Ship dev1 to dev30

[rapid shard]

Basically. And if your trying to be efficient wait to do a catch till after you have a ship Dev30. For example im doing Georgia catchup currently for protocore conversion then I'll do Harbins catchup now that shes Dev30/FS5

[ivory sigil]

what is fate simulation 5, a term for limitbreak? what does it cost?

[onyx flame]

extra upgrade past dev 30
gives the ships some luck stats as well as upgrade some of their existing skills

if you wanna be loose with it, its basically deving a ship to dev 35

[rapid shard]

FS5 is a buff to a skill. Some are really good upgrades like AvPs. Others dont really change much like Anchorage

[onyx flame]

takes prints too

[rapid shard]

Each FS level also gives some LCK points

[clear harbor]

If I have all the CLs here, do I just leave them alone, or do I buy a extra copy to work towards MLB?

[rapid shard]

If you have rhe extra medals then its a free LB

[clear harbor]

But maybe prioritize PBs and Spec Cores?

[rapid shard]

Spec cores 100% and PBs?

If your referring to the gold retro pieces I wouldn't buy those unless your rich in medals. They stupid expensive

[clear harbor]

PB = Blue prints, but I transposed the letters. 😅

[ruby sinew]

when coining pr ships do you only buy 15 blueprints a day? the wiki makes it sound like everyday the discounted blue prints reset

[wind hazel]

SpCore
good ship from medal hull that you dont have yet
gold bulins
rainbow blueprints
faction tech from medal hull if you need it
gold blueprints
red skill books
iris & saradegna techbox
the rest

[clear harbor]

I only do 6. 😅 But yeah, the discount gets reset each day.

[onyx flame]

it does reset every day

[rapid shard]

Yes discount resets daily

[wind hazel]

medal priority, in my opinion

[onyx flame]

i just buy 10bps a day unless im really want a ship up and running

[rapid shard]

#gameplay-help message

Here is the breakdown of daily cost

[clear harbor]

With rainbow BP from guild shop could be used on DR 8. 😩

[ruby sinew]

thanks

[clear harbor]

Are the memory echo shards for the current voting event? Or are they for the event afterwards?

[ivory sigil]

I see, i will learn it later on
but for now i would had to continue to catch up 1. So keep ignore the catch up and still pick Flandre tech6 for now, when it reach the cap of 300bp, no pick anyone else

[ivory sigil]

hmmm tenrai 457 and ply gun

you mean we need to have at least 1 copie of each ?

[wind hazel]

it's for this current event

[rapid shard]

Ideally your gonna want 2 tenrais at least 1 457 and at least 1 ply gun. The protocore cost is way way cheaper than crafting them in the gear lab.

[wind hazel]

also wtf who said it's against for using catchup for anchorage fdg agir lol

[clear harbor]

Oh. I think I missed this somehow. Or maybe I just don't remember.

[wind hazel]

you can do catchup for Anchorage and Agir. it will speed up having very good tanks for new players

[rapid shard]

Hes doing Flandre catchup and others like that lol

[wind hazel]

if you're new player, it's simple.
first, you do catchup for Anchorage
next, you do catchup for Agir
then you do for whichever that you already have Dev30, or ask again

[ivory sigil]

it's already messed up since day1 lol, there isnt any guide told me to not catch up

[clear harbor]

🤦 Okay, yeah, I didn't realize this was going on right now. Just thought it was the voting one.

[ocean terrace]

does FDG not fit in here first?

[wind hazel]

it depends on what you have, because nowadays a lot of very good BB are available to new players

FDG catchup is doable as well if you dont have many good BB

[ocean terrace]

I'd consider my BBs to be the weakest part of my fleet atm, with the DAL vanguards being good and all, so focusing FDG is fine right?

[wind hazel]

you just didn't bother to read

[ivory sigil]

anchorage is PR4, and PR4 allow 300 only

[wind hazel]

sam wrote very good guide that actually help new players but you guys just don't like reading, don't claim guides don't tell you, because they do

[ivory sigil]

yeah they put it at the end of the page and also behind a spoiler so, i assume it is a hardcore mode

so yeah yeah i get it for now, it is not like im reaading it or even read it without 99% understanding it

that's why i been asking whether a video teaching about Research and the minmax thingy cuz the more i read the more it tell me to yeet

[wind hazel]

i am aware. you coin the rest, so you reach dev30 a lot faster

[rapid shard]

PRs (Golds) are only 343 total BPs for Dev30.

All catchups are the same if memory serves. 300 for PRs and 150 for DRs

[clear harbor]

That seems right to me.

I think you only get 300 total for a seaon for all PRs total? you get up to 150 for each DR, though.

[ivory sigil]

i did catch up anchorage abit, tho that also mean for the rest of PR4 i wont convert any BPs

[wind hazel]

just finish her catchup

[ivory sigil]

yeah 300 PRs to convert to protocore

can i have the pic of priorty to buy in that protocore shop again?

[clear harbor]

Oh, where is this? I completely missed this.

[ocean terrace]

it says not to convert any DR catchup prints to protocores, does that mean I should use FDG's blueprints then? cos I was thinking I might convert them when I get to developing her

[wind hazel]

fdg agir are exceptions

[wind hazel]

it's made by faerlein, idk if there's a bigger guide that has all in one

right now it's getting passed around like a joint and that's that

also imo 457 should move to 2nd spot, agir gun should be lower

[clear harbor]

I honestly haven't converted any of my combat data packs yet. I guess I should do that now.

[ocean terrace]

I mean this one exists

[clear harbor]

Yeah, but the other one is more linear and easier for me to digest.

[ocean terrace]

same, but just in case you weren't aware

[ivory sigil]

there is so many guide to read lmao

but yeah
1 said 2 flandre 1 champy
1 said 2 champy 1 flandre
i think i gonna stick with 1 each and asking for plane, should i get that BF-109G plane??? or go for tenrai plane??

[dry tree]

Hello quick question, what gun does kurumi's clones have?

[undone plover]

i discussed this with neko and we agreed tier 2 for 457 is good enough since champy/flandre can substitute for it in campaign
also it is not really ordered within a tier
Just a more general "try and get all of these"

[ocean terrace]

well you should get 3 BB guns total since both of them tell you to get 3

[undone plover]

yeah it is just preference
flandre has shorter cooldown so for f2p ppl it might be better to fit 4 salvos in meta fights

[ocean terrace]

you'll want those AP guns for Ch13+ and certain boss fights, plus you'll have more fleets with more BBs so

[wind hazel]

ye i meant saiun>457>ply>agir on 2nd tier

having priority within that tier is still good i think

[undone plover]

ah I see what u mean now
I just tiered it by SR -> UR tbh so it stays pretty

[wind hazel]

otherwise newbie gonna get agir gun and does smol dmg

[undone plover]

true that might be better
I pretty much recommend ppl grab the first 2 tiers no matter what but if I redo it maybe for gear lab update (kron gun copium) I will do it like u said

[red sapphire]

Is It better Royal Navy shell for Lion than white shell?

[undone plover]

perhaps in certain scenarios yes
however in other scenarios the white shell might be better
the difference should be negligible
If u have enough white shells and need core data for other stuff there is no need to grab a yellow

[atomic solstice]

is it kay to focus pr6 if I specifially want Shimanto for her strength in w15? or is there a pr7/8 that is more worth for w15

[undone plover]

she should become coinable next month
and there is a catchup for 300 blueprints u can use on her
imo stay on 7 or 8 focus

[wind hazel]

just doing her catchup+general blueprints is enough to max shimanto, though it takes few months

[red sapphire]

Okay, thanks

[wind hazel]

you can steal bp series7 to enhance her

even series 8, 8 is actually dogshit

[atomic solstice]

oh shit yea pr6 coin is next month

[clear harbor]

Why is the Daisen Gun rated a higher priority than the Georgia Gun? Is it the cost? Cost aside, wouldn't the Georgia gun be better? Or do I misunderstand the guns.

[wind hazel]

it's exclusive for musashi

[clear harbor]

As in only applies for Mushashi? Faction bonus?

[wind hazel]

so if you have musashi, you get daisen gun for her, keep her in mob, and use flandre/champagne for boss on 2nd BB

yes musashi skill requires IJN gun to enhance her barrage

[clear harbor]

I understand now, thanks.

Oof. So I can probably buy a lot of things now. I crafted a few things I didn't need to craft. : /

Just means I get to farm OpSi more!

[wind hazel]

dont worry about it, i crafted gold helldiver and skypirates

[undone plover]

everything is re-farmable so dw too much
be careful with gold plates tho

[knotty jolt]

me sitting here with too many sky pirates and a triple set of spearfish

[clear harbor]

If I buy this, I can convert it into a gun of the corresponding season? Or do I need multiple of these like crafting stuff (gold catapults, for instance)?

[knotty jolt]

multiple

[wind hazel]

you need 25 to craft one

[undone plover]

u need 25 of these
nvm sry my bad

[knotty jolt]

Honestly is quite annoying that they only give 20...

literally 5 off of the gear

[wind hazel]

forced time gate event moment

[clear harbor]

Oh, I'm confusing crafting and gear lab. Oy.

[wind hazel]

should write feedback about it. makes no sense really, rainbow straight away 50/50

[undone plover]

yeah these are just selector gear prints

[clear harbor]

Okay, so maybe I didn't mess up so bad, then.

[scarlet cosmos]

So the other night I learned that Warspite and NJ do similar dmg. Should I not raise warspite then? My NJ is already lvl 125

[ocean terrace]

only if warspite is retrofitted, which is expensive

[scarlet cosmos]

Yeah shes already retrofitted

[knotty jolt]

you can just ignore warspite and nj tbh due to the addition of musashi to the perma pool

[scarlet cosmos]

Yeah I have both, so probably ignore Warspite or get her to 120 for tech then

[clear harbor]

Wait, is it actually cheaper to just buy a whole UR than a SSR gun with Protocores?

[knotty jolt]

her 120 tech is +2 accuracy so that's worth it

[wind hazel]

no, it's more expensive. i meant the 50 purchase without time gate

[clear harbor]

Oh, the URs are still just one piece of many, too. Sorry. It's late over here and my brain is not keeping up.

[rapid shard]

Crafting SR gear from blueprints cost 25 and UR gear is 50 prints

[wind hazel]

what i mean is, you can buy 50 blueprints of UR gear at once, there's no time gate for you to wait. gold prints on the other hand, need to wait at least 2 months because you are limited to 20 purchase a month

[ocean terrace]

yeah and if you want 2 of a gold gear you need to wait 3 months...

really is time gated a lot ffs

[rapid shard]

This game is meant to be played as a marathon not a sprint lol

Do agree the 20 print limit a month is kinda dumb for a arbitrary timegate

[ocean terrace]

fair enough but being 5 prints off my next big gear upgrade and having to wait a month

at least I have the UR event to look forward to

[onyx flame]

shoulda make it 25 prints

[ivory sigil]

Wait a min
The week already reset and i forgot which gear i should buy last week
Tho im willing to get 2 Flandre gun for now
It's my 3rd week in game and i'm chap10 for now
Maybe around 1 or 2 week more to progress to reach chap13

i already had the +10 Flandre gun but it just there for nothing, cuz most boss now are Light

P/s mybad they reset monthly

[barren token]

Does the Meck gun make the Georgia 457 irrelevant (and the Champy gun), or should I still want to get a 457?

[ocean terrace]

it's not a weekly reset, it's a monthly reset
you just need 3 combined total of flandre/champy guns

probably don't need to +10 them all yet, I've +10 just one for now and I'll do the rest when I need it

[ivory sigil]

Yea i was doing Flandre Catchup and it often drop those Flandre gun Bps lol

I see, but still havent get the answer for the plane priority

[wind hazel]

457 is still great for mobbing, it's much faster

1 tenrai first, then bf109g

you can even craft it from gearlab though idk which is cheaper

nvm fae's pic says it lol

[ocean terrace]

lol I just realised I have a slightly different version of this image

this one has the Ply gun and 457 above the SR ones in the 2nd tier

[wind hazel]

[same, but different, but still same].gif

[gilded carbon]

Is the new Event-Equip any good? Or collectable-grade

[wind hazel]

collectible

[gilded carbon]

Thanks, noted

[ivory sigil]

It does give EVA tho, good for newbie who has less hydraulic

[gilded carbon]

Shame that so many of these are just for collection

[mint fable]

In the scenario where i have Lion, Alsace and Rumey, and i only have 2 of Plymouth gun, should i better put one on Rumey or just put em on the BBs?

[onyx flame]

i would put it on fritz, unless you really want that fp for your bbs

[wind hazel]

you can use felix gun instead of plygun on fritz if they are both +10

[red sapphire]

Any gearlab purple worth crafting and use other than 410 kai?

[wind hazel]

the triple torpedo i guess

[mint fable]

Alright

[red sapphire]

Okay, ty

[ivory sigil]

yuudachi meta ranked 20 in W14 lol, does it mean she is worth to invest? or it is just Tentative yet.

Btw what is the different in reward from limited event Meta and permanent Dossier Meta?

[wind hazel]

no difference

[rain bobcat]

wdym

there's no inherent order in ranking btw lol it's just alphabetical

[wind hazel]

dossier is just the archive of past meta showdown

[rain bobcat]

if they're the same tier then they're close to each other

bayard is not somehow 50% better than sandy or shimanto in w14

and she is definitely not much better being "top 7" vs tohka who is "top19"

[sinful relic]

whats the first UR gun i should aim for?

[rain bobcat]

from research, pr8. for gear lab look at https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab

[sinful relic]

i almost have the first two

should i save my proto until i get all of them?

[onyx flame]

realistically your first ur gun would prob be meck gun from research since gearlab you be making a wyvern first

[rain bobcat]

yes

[onyx flame]

unless you can afford to buy all 50 bps of tenrai then yea save first

[sinful relic]

meck? which nation and gun is th at?

[rain bobcat]

pr8 rainbow gun

[sinful relic]

im a bit slow, where do i find this?

[wind hazel]

it's from research academy, series 8

[rain bobcat]

you have a chance of getting blueprints for it when you do series 8 research

[sinful relic]

this?

[rain bobcat]

get 50 and you can craft the gun

[wind hazel]

yes

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/equips/id/44320

[knotty jolt]

You should remember to select a catchup btw

[sinful relic]

catch up?

[knotty jolt]

The things below the research focus

by doing research normally while having a catchup selected you can get free extra prints of a ship of your choice of the currently avaliable catchup prs

[sinful relic]

i did this one, is this fine?

[knotty jolt]

That's just normal research but the catchup prints only drop if you have a catchup actively selected

[sinful relic]

any pr ships i should aim for? the one im currently researching?

[tulip thorn]

Is there a way to farm in 15-1 while leveling 1 vanguard ship?

[knotty jolt]

The recommend catchups would be starting with roon/st louis

then work upwards through them

[sinful relic]

oh thats perfect, i was already researching st louis

[knotty jolt]

The catchups can provide 300 extra free prints for the selected ship

[tulip thorn]

@rain bobcat sooo whats the fleet? 👉 👈

[sinful relic]

i shouldnt do the research that does cubes do i, which ones do i do?

[ivory sigil]

errr i were just had catch up debate up here
basically catch up is like a 2 edge blade, where you either choose to catch a girl Like Anchorage / Fdg

meanwhile other tier should be avoid catch up so you can abuse the system called catchup on dev30 ship to convert it to Protocore

[knotty jolt]

Grant researches aka G

[rain bobcat]

raffaello/musashi unicorn aquila/zuihou eldridge +2 rando shitters >=lv 110

[tulip thorn]

And for boss?

[rain bobcat]

typical w15 bossfleet

[tulip thorn]

I don't know whats the typical boss fleet....

[rapid shard]

For W15 mob fleet using Musashi is 410kai or Daisen gun better?

[rain bobcat]

whatever you used to clear w15 in the first place

[rain bobcat]

daisen is better but it's not a win or lose difference

daisen just fits more nicely into the aquila unicorn reload times

[sinful relic]

yknow trying to understand what you guys are saying is just plain confusing cuz i dont remember any names...

[rapid shard]

Thats what I was looking for lol

[wind hazel]

this is so wrong on so many level lol

[ivory sigil]

well, depend on resources, but newbie who are lack of golds shouldnt go for gold, just go for Scrap/Material that was plentiful or go for nothing

[knotty jolt]

is it?

[wind hazel]

you dont do louis or roon catchup UNLESS they are already dev30

[tulip thorn]

It was a loooong time ago

[rapid shard]

Im specificly asking about Musashis 2 best guns and which is better for W15 mob fleet setup. 410Kai is HE but faster whereas the Daisen is AP but a little slower lol

[sinful relic]

gold is fine now, im getting a fair bit, so i can afford to invest some.

[knotty jolt]

Or am i confusing the starting pr research with catchups?

[wind hazel]

you did

[knotty jolt]

[rain bobcat]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15 look through the bottom of this, there's an example fleet

[ivory sigil]

i did misread the guide and select on catch up

turn out we shouldnt catch up as a newbie... (unless if it Anchorge or fdg)

[wind hazel]

For catchup, if you're new player, it's simple.

first, you do catchup for Anchorage
next, you do catchup for Agir
then you do for whichever that you already have Dev30, or ask again

[sinful relic]

wait so didi do the wrong thing by catching up on st louis

[tulip thorn]

Is it up to date?

[sinful relic]

illl change that one sec

[knotty jolt]

I should just go to sleep i think that lack of it is getting to me it's like 2:38am

[ivory sigil]

tho........... i been following this sentence in guide and select flandre to catch up like a baka

[rain bobcat]

wtf 2 rando new orleans in a single day

[wind hazel]

that statement is not wrong, but it's lacking context. PR6 will have coin up soon, so it's a waste to catchup Flandre now. not doing any DR is also not applicable for Agir

[sinful relic]

im at 9-3 now, thanks for people who helped me, im doing so much better on w9

[rain bobcat]

btw just to help you out on w15

drop ur subs the moment hiyou and junyou spawn on carrier nodes, its usually 3rd wave

most people get murdered because they lack the knowledge that hiyou and junyou MUST get nuked

[sinful relic]

oh i sorta get it

[rapid shard]

I did a attempt on 15-1 and actually didnt have any issue with the carrier node. Was running only Uni as healer and wasnt quite enough and vg died on 5th mob fight. Leveling volga atm to hopefully fix that issue

Main fleet was still basically full health

But definitely appreciate the tip. Is that a issue on all W15?

[rain bobcat]

usually a glaring issue on super carrier nodes but also a slight problem on normal 3* carrier node

I think super carrier only appears starting 15-3 though

[sinful relic]

should i attempt w10 without a second fleet?

[rapid shard]

Should be fine. If your backline is randomly dieing on W10, swap one aux out for a FIre Extinguisher if that is a issue

[rapid shard]

Super carrier is this node right?

[rain bobcat]

^, i'd recommend playing safe and giving flagship extinguisher

[sinful relic]

the main problem is prob my with 0/5 ammo XD

[rain bobcat]

oh it's on all ch15, i guess 15-3 is where the double-triple boss shenanigans begin

[sinful relic]

nah its mainly my vanguard dying, need to level the twins but theyre suffering a lil

[ivory sigil]

definitely underlevel, but yeah even with lv100 the boss need to be very becareful

[rapid shard]

Yeah I nuked this on my fiest attempt in 55-60sec, my main issue was vg just running out of steam. The mutli boss BS starts at -3 right?

[rain bobcat]

yeah im pretty sure 15-2 doesn't have it

[sinful relic]

my team currently, i just used a bit of exp books on the twins cuz they were like 10 levels under

[rain bobcat]

that should easily steamroll tbh, also retrofitting nelson for first team is quite questionable

investing in a carrier like saratoga is a more common approach

[rapid shard]

If your having issues just keep leveling them a bit. Even with 0 ammo that fleet will steamroll W10 and maybe 11 solo depending on gear

[sinful relic]

i didnt have any other main team ships, since im not pulling till UR releases. apart from 1 into light ship

[rapid shard]

Unironicly that may help out a lot with the bomb boat spams

[sinful relic]

also i hadall the battleship retrofit items compared to another carrier.

from all the mission rewards

[tulip thorn]

Help with 15-1 farm

[ivory sigil]

well i were finish a battle with a boss chap10 Hardmode with my almost-best team and it was quite harsh to taken down

somehow most of my BB shot keep missing

[sinful relic]

i wont be doing hard mode on w9+ anytime soon. i wish to 3 star everything below before i make my way up/

[rain bobcat]

u don't really need to

do it when you need retrofit mats urgently only, don't waste the possibility of getting more core data daily

I don't even think I have half the hard maps 3 starred lol

[rapid shard]

Youll massively benefit from just doing highest world you can daily and just going back and cheesing the lower worlds when your sort for a retro/shipyard req

[sinful relic]

ive only done like 5? x-4 currently cuz of unicorn

[ivory sigil]

do my BB need a faster gun somehow? Or Auto mode is not recommend for those boss?

[red sapphire]

Show the guns you are using, so we can help you choosing

[rapid shard]

Your BB was just missing cause that particular bosses moves around a ton. Faster gun wont solve that issue

[rain bobcat]

that's normal because the boss is a fast DD

if anything just level maryland because 20lvls means she is doing -50% dmg minimum lol

[ivory sigil]

ok

[rain bobcat]

just use 406 mk6 period.

[ivory sigil]

my gear (update on 5th Dec 2025)

[rain bobcat]

only zwei is hitting her entire salvo against a fast DD

[ivory sigil]

I see, so we need to outsmart the boss ? 💀 When did AZ become to Moba game

[rain bobcat]

wdym outsmart

it simply dodges like how YOU would dodge in auto

unless you have slower/stopper/zwei there's no way to guarantee all salvos hit against a very fast enemy

[sinful relic]

honestly i keep forgetting kurumi can heal herself so when i see her die so fast but then stay low for really long periods before healing to half just messses with my brain.

[rain bobcat]

the only zombie with a useful skill

[ivory sigil]

She is fkng pog bro, like in pvp i literally outplay other with stronger score

[sinful relic]

holy whats with the line of suicide ships

[forest palm]

10-1 Conga Line?

[sinful relic]

yes

[forest palm]

never gets old

[sinful relic]

poor unicorn got absolutely destroyed. any way i can combat that?

[forest palm]

a better secondary gun on your BBs can help

[inland shoal]

Also flag BB esp ig you only have 1

[sinful relic]

my formation

[forest palm]

and what are you using on your BB?

[sinful relic]

i dont have much aux

[wind hazel]

what secondary gun do you have? also get alabama's augment

[sinful relic]

bit poor in the golden rocks department, also the 2ndary?

[wind hazel]

click here, show what you got

[wind hazel]

open more techbox whenever you can

this is budget

for nelson, if you can get one

[sinful relic]

which nations ar those two?

[wind hazel]

budget

128 ironblood, 155 sakura empire, 152 royalnavy

try to get them because w11 is worse

[sinful relic]

i opened like 20 of them, noluck. is there a way to farm random tech boxes? or is it still just RNG

[wind hazel]

still rng

[sinful relic]

sadge, welp this will take a bit, im currently researching a fair bit so itll take a second.

[red sapphire]

I think this budget DD gun can be helpful, can you check if you can craft it with blueprints?

[wind hazel]

if you have been diligent with research academy then nelson can also use donskoi gun

[sinful relic]

cant craft nothin apart from that
