[hollow gust]

Half a dozen gold ships are better dps then shima

[onyx flame]

Also rip traf but no lion anyway might be worth considering sashi

But after seeing what dec ur is

[grizzled mortar]

yeahhhh I started the game during rose on the high tower and never got her

But I made up for it by pulling three unzens on my first four pulls on her rerun lmao

[woven star]

Imo u can just leveling Shima for x-fleet without mlb

[rain bobcat]

the boss bar is very low in w15

and stacking the best support CV for your mob is noticeable

[hollow gust]

Stacking the correct planes is more noticeable

[valid forge]

are there any good ships in merit shop?

[stray crane]

i got avp dev 30 now i have enough tech point to unlock research for both fdr and agir

[hollow gust]

There are good ships in merit shop, but you just don't need them in comparison to bulins

[stray crane]

should i still go for fdr ?

[onyx flame]

You can still coin avp while reaearching fdg/agir thou

[remote yarrow]

-# Franklin D. Roosevelt?

[rapid shard]

Depends on your needs. Agir is a great tank and FDG is a great BB

[onyx flame]

And you want avp at fs5 to guarantee her freeze anyway

[sinful relic]

whats the estimate on cubes until the UR releases for dailies and weeklies? i have about 200 rn. would be able to get enough in time for one copy?

[remote yarrow]

Guaranteed 168 per month so you might

[rain bobcat]

you might

[hollow gust]

You should , especially if you farm your commissions

[rain bobcat]

-# but also ur fucked eitherway if they decide to do the typical january UR rerun

[remote yarrow]

• w/e you get from commissions

[sinful relic]

ive been farming everything i can get my little hands on.

[onyx flame]

just get lucky

[hollow gust]

This event should be 2-3 weeks which is 50+ cubes from just commission if you are diligent

[rain bobcat]

end year to early year is where cubes are drained

[sinful relic]

im getting like 60 extra cubes from the handbook that i havent done. and im still getting some cubes from completing levels/

[onyx flame]

Back to back urs

[rain bobcat]

sept new UR tempesta event collab event dec UR january rerun (for those newbies or missed it)

[woven star]

Yeah just get lucky. You can close some 5 stars on opsi map for cubes btw

[rain bobcat]

that's basically 1 major event per month

[onyx flame]

They definitly have enough for pity at least for this dec ur

[valid forge]

as i see there are some tier 0/1 ships in war archives, should i try to get them?

[rain bobcat]

no

[woven star]

This is what I did for Impl event when can't reach pity

[rain bobcat]

only darc is remotely worth and even then if you have eldridge she loses all value

[sinful relic]

alright thanks everyone, i have a general idea on if i have enough pity.

[hollow gust]

You flatly don't need ships like Jeanne/elridge for a long ass time

[stray crane]

is it gona be the same as the unzen event ?

200 pulls ?

[onyx flame]

Thats the norm for ur

[remote yarrow]

Every UR event is 200 pulls for pity

[rain bobcat]

200 pulls no free pull since not rerun

[stray crane]

okay

[remote yarrow]

400 cubes 300k coins

[stray crane]

i just noticed i need 60k to build dr ships and my coin limit is 50ish k

[rain bobcat]

thats only canteen limit

[remote yarrow]

That's only your soft cap, hard cap is 600k

[stray crane]

okay

so i just keep farmign 9-1 for that exp mission

[remote yarrow]

?

[stray crane]

research

[remote yarrow]

uuh if possible try to push

[stray crane]

i m at 12 rn

[remote yarrow]

It's better to grind on W12

Then why 9-1?

[woven star]

Lol. Rly why?

[stray crane]

Idk someone told me to do 9-1

[rain bobcat]

[stray crane]

in the game chat

[onyx flame]

[woven star]

Maybe 11-1?

[river junco]

Higher stages are better for coins

[rain bobcat]

another victim to clueless plebs in in game chat

[onyx flame]

Anyway go farm 12-1 for exp for shipyard research

[remote yarrow]

The game chat is probably the worst place you can ask for questions, followed by Youtube guides and general

[onyx flame]

-# Where does reddit place

[silk helm]

is hinden better than unzen?

[hollow gust]

Lmao no

[remote yarrow]

somewhere in between YT and general

[hollow gust]

Investing that many types of guns for hinden is just a scam

[rain bobcat]

unzen is better for heavy, hinden for other 2 armour types

but hinden loadouts are extremely expensive and neither is really useful in current META anyway

[onyx flame]

Maybe when york meta shows up

[rain bobcat]

its just z52 ply wash again

can make a case for replacing traf with a dps but wtver

[hollow gust]

Hindenburg better in medium a lie told by big gun

[verbal plinth]

Wash?

Ohnvm

[hollow gust]

Figurative language , it's always z52/plymouth spam

If those two somehow have trouble surviving you pop in Elridge retrofit

[onyx flame]

washington trust

[rain bobcat]

it will never not be z52 ply based

wtf do you put other than a z52 traf ply or aurora for light

the vg meta for META is just dead

[hollow gust]

The frontline and backline meta is stale as fuck for the occasion Unzen in heavy and sometimes medium

It will be Lion Alsace Fritz too

[rain bobcat]

like unzen I haven't even used her since dec 2024 for nagato

[hollow gust]

Unzen has been best in slot for every heavy armor meta if you time her correctly

[rain bobcat]

I doubt replacing z52 or ply to run mogador is even worth anymore honestly

and unzen is realistically not hitting most torps without mogador

we just need more vanguard variety at this point

[hollow gust]

[tropic tusk]

we need unicorn aug at this point also

[rain bobcat]

traf is also like 30% fp for lion

[hollow gust]

When unzen nukes for 2-300k it's very worth to sub out vanguards

[random rain]

hello, for hard 13-3 I used Musashi-AmagiCV-Hakuryuu for the boss fleet; should I use gear against heavy armor or medium armor (for shoukaku/zuikaku)? Thank you

[onyx flame]

I mean if you got gear for med you could use it but heavy should work just as well
only 1 way to find out

[spark patio]

How to beat warspite boss this month?

[hollow gust]

https://suchiguma.github.io/home/home-page

[spark patio]

wait, this was end game content?

[hollow gust]

the hard mode ya

easy and medium ire midgame

[spark patio]

Bruh, my main ships got clapped so bad while my vanguard lose 0 hp . Easy mode btw

[rapid shard]

Read the breakdown. You've got to stop the charge attack spite does thats nukes you. Just scroll to Dec challenge in Suchis guide

[spark patio]

Didn't know there was guide about this thing, thanks

[rapid shard]

Suchi threw together guides for each months with full breakdowns and fleets lol

[hushed tinsel]

Someone that could help me with Opsi mob and boss fleet?

[hollow gust]

make a thread

[hushed tinsel]

Help with opsi fleets

[pastel garden]

If I’m a pretty new player, and I’ve got the UR ticket for Shinano or NJ, is there one I should be picking here? I’ve really only got date a live characters and a handful of other SRs, along with unicorn and Portland retrofit

[onyx flame]

shinano, but only use it when you need 1 last copy to limit break her, if not she just be taking up dock space

[muted wind]

neither is useful until you can max limit break them, and due to new URs generally being better and therefore should have priority on bulins, you'll probably want to do that with dupes. so yeah, keep the ticket for now

[wanton dagger]

Is there any new UR ship in the next update?

[violet grail]

Closer to christmas probably so not next one.

[onyx flame]

this week patch is the prelude/call to arms event to the new ur
next week one is the new ur

[wanton dagger]

Do i need to save oil for this week event?

[onyx flame]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i mean you have to grind it so it just depends if you want to grind it right from the get go or slowly over the event period

[muted wind]

you're usually good if you start saving oil a few days before the event starts even then (well, and not claim oil from storage)

[onyx flame]

only 15k in storage cause i keep touching it when i need coins

[harsh cargo]

Some nodes end up being Fractured Sea over and over and I can't seem finish then. What's up with that?

[viscid swift]

just gonna add this

[sick kettle]

which he dd gun do i get between twin 127mm and single 138mm

[pastel garden]

Much appreciated. So really just waiting until UR in couple weeks

[viscid swift]

from the gear lab?
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab

[gilded carbon]

Thats great advice, especially for the Bulin-rates

Gives some context

[sick kettle]

yeah both of them isn't there

[viscid swift]

which Twin 127mm exactly

but as a rule of thumb anything not listed isn't worth crafting

[sick kettle]

both are craftable

[viscid swift]

oh right we forgot to add it

the 138 straight up isn't worth crafting

and the Twin 127 would be a decent but not esepcially high priority craft

I'd put it like a C tier for new player worth

[sick kettle]

well i do got a plenty amount of materials required so ill try crafting it

[viscid swift]

it's also just not that high impact on the fleet overall

[astral canyon]

My Fleet 2 struggles to complete the Boss Fleet on 13-2 Hard , any tips?\

[hollow gust]

Swap in Sandy to fleet 2

Say bye bye to Helena Meta

[astral canyon]

KK , so who can I replace sandy in F1 with? Seattle

[hollow gust]

A dps CL

And you run more fighters for your CVs , Seattle is fine for dps, you want double Cl guns

[viscid swift]

meh

[astral canyon]

ill try this out thanks!

[violet grail]

Hey, not sure if you got an answer to your question, just in case, you can tap on "change zone" under "hidden" and switch to "explorable" to do that first.

[clear harbor]

Fleet Upgrades

[errant jacinth]

how do I change the ships in my opsi fleet? idk I'm just blind 😭

[tulip tinsel]

go blue port click top left diamond and fleet change or smth the first on top

[quaint estuary]

Do the augments for the date a live ships do anything special (like the gridman ones)? Also what triggers their extra skill voicelines? Kinda sucks not hearing them say metatron or sandalphon…

[tulip tinsel]

they kinda mid without their augs

[errant jacinth]

sorry where’s the top left diamond?

ohh I found it

[ruby gulch]

The mini map in the top right that’s labeled as “order”

[tulip tinsel]

Order

[cobalt rampart]

extremely new and still learning, am I missing something on why laffey doesn't do nearly as much damage as the others? I have her with the next best gear I have(enhanced to around +6). this is on divergent chessboard d-4. when I look at her stats, they are less obv because of the level difference, but not enough to make such a damage discrepency from what I can tell. her damage should be around 50%~ of javelins unless I'm misunderstanding or misreading something

my only guess is that its because she's not limit breaked fully, is that all it is?

I've had this same problem with z23 as well when I've tried using her

[undone plover]

She is 3 star not limit broken

[tulip tinsel]

anyone got the vang aa chart? Like tierlist or smth

[violet grail]

Getting ships to max limit break is pretty much mandatory in azur lane. Its a huge power spike.

[undone plover]

Get ships to full star asap
Or dont use em

[cobalt rampart]

I didn't know it made that much of a difference

[violet grail]

But also, vanguard ships role isnt to do damage its to tank and buff/debuff and deal with fodder/ suicide ships to some extent. Main fleet (backline) does the damage.

[cobalt rampart]

ive got a lot of bullins just not sure who to use them on

[tulip tinsel]

non mlb ship do like 1/4 or 1/3 dmg only

[undone plover]

Level difference is also a huge buff/debuff
25 level difference is sth like 50% more dmg taken and 50% less dmg done

[cobalt rampart]

ty all

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rb_uXVmDnK2YKe-0YRTrf3VUcQi8mKwEMYKCBFmVXCc/edit?usp=drivesdk

aa is a bit complex tho so if u are tackling ch 15 for example i recommend u ask if the comp and gear makes sense not just go by this chart

Also this doesnt take into account fleet buffs iirc
Only personal effective AA dps

[tulip tinsel]

thanks, i just wanna read numbers for future and bored atm

[ocean terrace]

go to threads and right click on your thread, copy link

[elfin bay]

hi guys, I’m curious, is the fastest way to speedrun a PR/DR is to spam H researches with rainbow>blue>purple>gold prio?

[forest palm]

something like that, but it's cube heavy and if you have less than 400 might as well forget about it

[tulip tinsel]

more like 1200 because UR events soon

[elfin bay]

Thank you

[clear harbor]

What does flex mean here?

[viscid swift]

flexible slot

[clear harbor]

Like a slot on a CV/CVL that can have any plane type?

[ivory pawn]

Exactly.

[next escarp]

Should I get this gear for clearing campaign maps?

[sweet delta]

You should bring enough AVI and EVA so that ambushes don't even occur

[next escarp]

I see, thanks friend

[small quarry]

Guys, without me noticing, a bulin reached level 4 💀 ... it can't be used as a limit break.

[boreal wagon]

tick the "> lvl 1" in the top right

[elfin bay]

do we have a guide for best value packs to buy in shop

[small quarry]

Where would that be? I'm a little lost

[elfin bay]

I think it's when you want to limit break a ship, you need to click that on top right

[astral canyon]

I beat it! thanks for the help 🙂

[small quarry]

I almost cried thinking I lost a bulin SSR because of a mistake. 😂 , thanks guys

[analog tendon]

Should i still craft this if i already have one Aichi B7A Ryusei and am 6 bp away from being able to craft a 2nd one?

[elfin bay]

thank you!

[viscid swift]

still a useful sidegrade

[small quarry]

There was an update a few days ago, will the game be closed with this new update? Will any news be revealed beforehand or only on the 15th?

[viscid swift]

huh

[small quarry]

When the game updates, is the game closed, or is there only a content update without needing to wait for the update?

[ocean terrace]

are you talking about the maintenance on the 11th?

[small quarry]

yes

[undone plover]

does WA save progress if u clear og event not rerun?
this is my musashi event WA
0 progress saved but i only cleared the rerun

[ocean terrace]

maintenance means the game will be down for usually around 6 hours

[small quarry]

I thought they did two types of maintenance. One updates the game, and the other only updates the content without needing to close the game. Thanks for the heads up. 👍

[winged willow]

Which carrier should I use instead of Hornet in ch13?

[weary edge]

send ur fleet

[ivory pawn]

I can say, idk, Fritz Rumey, but that doesn’t help if you don’t have her.

[winged willow]

Hang on...

[winged willow]

Yep, no Fritz, sadly. I'm quite a bit behind on pr ships. Wish I could coin Drake and Hakuryuu

[small quarry]

Can I get a good ship in War Archives.... do I need 2 team ?

[viscid swift]

why aren't you using a battleship in the boss fleet....

this thing is proving useful before I've even finished it

[rapid shard]

Im 100% stealing this so i dont have to type it out everytime lol

[viscid swift]

Well it is part of a longer Basic Fleet/Clearing Guide I have in the works for W1-13.

With any luck it should be finished and up on Suchi's site in a week or 2.

[elfin bay]

hi guys, do you have the link for tech stats on all of heroes, I had it saved a year ago but I lost it

[eternal basalt]

WA are brand new, no saved progress

[fair lance]

You talking about this? https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/tracker?reverseOrder=true

[elfin bay]

Yes, thank you

Ooohh they changed it? It was blue the last time I used it

[fair lance]

Might have been the github one I don't have that link

[inland shoal]

That's a different tracker by a different person

[fair lance]

https://retropaint.github.io/azur-lane-fleet-tech-tracker/ found it

[elfin bay]

Oh yes, thank you Horles and Thorin, that's the one

Time to list all of my ships again LOL

[inland shoal]

The new (not blue) one has more functionality btw

[woven star]

Btw why cv rld shown 42 rld max but real number 23-27

[viscid swift]

that's because 42 is the max

[fair lance]

Because it's counting faction tech as well

[elfin bay]

Got it, I like the summary on the new one, I'll try it first

[winged willow]

Air stuff.

[viscid swift]

I mean, this is in regards to W13

[woven star]

So bbs still max 18... ok

[rain bobcat]

14 is from faction tech for CV

[winged willow]

Which bb do yourecommend, Ulrich?

[rain bobcat]

the one you have mlb

if none mlb then none

[woven star]

And +1 from Aquila... too complicated

[boreal wagon]

-# if only there was more than one tab to my summary that breaks it all down

[rain bobcat]

[stark quiver]

does bulin have skills
ur bulin

[boreal wagon]

all bulins have a skill that does nothing in combat but ur bulin also has one that does (but its hidden)

[stark quiver]

one that i can upgrade?

[rain bobcat]

no

[boreal wagon]

no

[stark quiver]

damn
UR has both skin and aug right

[boreal wagon]

yes

[stark quiver]

ig im bringing it to 125

[tender lotus]

Is it worth it to craft these?

[rapid shard]

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

You can cross check them with this

[inland storm]

is there any reason to do the level 30 one if ive completed the level 70 one?

i assume no?

[rapid shard]

If you can do the lv70 one, its a waste to do the lv30 one

[inland storm]

alright. i just wasnt sure if there was some first clear reward

thanks

[plain cloud]

Any idea how to blow through 20k oil quick

[inland storm]

dorm snacks

a waste, but the fastest, i think

[zenith heron]

The best use is by grinding.

The wasteful use is the one mentioned and the other Commission that uses a lot of oil for little change...

[tender lotus]

Is that list updated every time?

[rapid shard]

Yep updated every time there is a new addition

[tender lotus]

Great!
Thx man

[obtuse island]

what is VH suppossed to mean?

[forest palm]

it's an Aux that changes the armor type for specific ships to heavy

it's pretty useless...

Azuma hold outs

[obtuse island]

oh bruh

[forest palm]

that be it

[obtuse island]

thanks man

[rain bobcat]

you'd rather use beaver on agir

[obtuse island]

tbh i don't use agir all that often for bossing

[ivory sigil]

Does using x2 oilspend on War Archive increase x2 the counter for the items limited ?

Namely polaris sp5 for the heel

The black 👠

[rapid shard]

It doubles the runs drops but doesnt double the runs towards the x60.

[rain bobcat]

no

2x does not double run counter

[ivory sigil]

I see

[hot turret]

I have a ton of Epic Bulins, do I just start using them on my ships to get some ships to max limit break?

[obtuse island]

use them to get tech or mlb ships you might need yeah

[hot turret]

Tech?

[obtuse island]

you get fleet tech for a certain faction when you mlb or get a ship to lvl 120

[hot turret]

I see

[obtuse island]

it helps you to be able to start building ships in the shipyard

also when you mlb or 120 ships you get stats for specific hull types for example +1 CV reload

[hot turret]

Very interesting, I'll spend some Bulins then

[obtuse island]

but you might as well have better priorities other than that

[ivory sigil]

Should i craft this for the 1st time

[rain bobcat]

no

[ivory sigil]

oo... what torpedo should be crafted?

[forest palm]

Quadruple Magnetic Torpedo Launcher

[soft raft]

German quad mags

[forest palm]

I don't think there's any other Magnetic from a different nation

[soft raft]

In terms of relevant ones, true

[rapid shard]

EU does have the black ones that are mag

[forest palm]

that's an actual torpedo, and not a launcher

[rapid shard]

533mm Mark 35 Torpedo Mount (Quad Consecutive Launch) - These

[forest palm]

huh...son of a bitch

[rapid shard]

I built 2 for the hell of it and they aint that great

[forest palm]

that's how I remember it...

[ivory sigil]

Yea, thanks i did found the craft for rainbow one in Iron Blood trait
Thanks i found the EU quad that can be craft immediate too

[forest palm]

don't

[ivory sigil]

Wait so i shouldnt? Ok

[rapid shard]

Dont bother crafting the rainbow quints. and dont craft the EU black ones

Just make Quad mags for the Iron Blood section. they are the best for auto play you can make and aquire right now.

[forest palm]

you want these

[rapid shard]

The EU ones from my personal usage still are not worth it

[soft raft]

Dont bother with the quints, they are roughly as good as the quad version from the rarity before it since lower damage per torp, higher spread, and longer reload time

[rapid shard]

Plus with quad mags its much easier for all 4 to hit than for the quints to hit all 5. which gives better consistent dmg

[ivory sigil]

Oh ok, i can craft like 2 or 3 of IronBlood Quad (not rainbow)

i realize i dont use any DD beside laffey, i better return to it after got Laffey2 then

Man, the research thingy so stingy, 6hours basic and 1.5k gold wont drop a single character bps

The only CL that use Torp is Yamai sis and Sandy

[rapid shard]

Yeah if your building gold torps just do gold quad mags IB. they go on literally everyone that doesnt want fast torps ( Read skills to see if they do)

[woven star]

There was a time when I was using them on Eldridge and tried to synch with her slow.... awful

[main stag]

guys is there a guide i could use for world 15?

[sweet delta]

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

[main stag]

thank you sushi

[real parrot]

Is it better to fully limit break hakohou first or should I work on unzen?

[rain vine]

how many bulins can you get?

[viscid swift]

neither seeing as we have a new UR event dropping in a little over a week

[ivory sigil]

But the thing is
Should we consider the exchange?
Farm 9-1 for oil to EXP in order to speedrun to 12-4 for highest coin rate?

Wait are 9-4 10-4 11-4 12-4 had same oil/coin rate?
(This exclude the time and the additional reward for cogchip)

[ocean terrace]

compare it yourself
https://suchiguma.github.io/deepresearch/auto-search-exp-and-coins

[real parrot]

4-5 as of now

[rain vine]

then definitely save the bulins and see what the new UR will be

[ocean terrace]

though personally, I'm saving up coins so I'm farming 11-4 atm

[real parrot]

Sure

[true kraken]

which one of these can be flag ship?

[zenith heron]

I suggest Lutzow, but others here might have different preferences

[drowsy quest]

Who should i retrofit first i already did unicorn my options are, Helena, Z23 or Portland?

[undone plover]

portland > z23 if u cant replace z23
helena can be done later

[soft raft]

^

Helena's retrofit is mainly so she can use SG Radar in tandem with the HSFCR/AFCT on BBs

[ivory pawn]

And stats. Stats are nice.

[drowsy quest]

Thanks

[ivory sigil]

?? I did remember someone said about not give helena SG radar before in this message #1441564631268331721 message

Or was it due to they are not golden rarity but instead purplr rarity?

[rain bobcat]

what

[steel swift]

Is she good for completing the campaign?

[stark quiver]

yeah

but not at 4 stars

[viscid swift]

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

[zenith heron]

SG Radar puts Helena's RNG Buff from 20 to 16 seconds at the first proc

which is good for going with Battleships/Battlecruisers who use 20 second Guns, but use HSFCR/AFCT for the same reduced time within the first Volley shot

[soft raft]

SG Radar is purely for the purpose that I mentioned
It's completely irrelevant otherwise

It is a syncing tool used for OpSi boss fights

[reef bane]

is there a point in 3 starring hard stages

[soft raft]

Free guarenteed gold retrofit blueprints

You get like 2 but guarenteed is guarenteed

[rain bobcat]

if you need retro prints sure otherwise no need really

[fair lance]

You also get a bit of cogs and arrays at 11 onwards

[grave cove]

Is there a good stage/way to get ships to level 70 for MLB? I don't have that many books and I am just leveling ships for tech points. I know 12-4 is the standard, however the ships are only level 40ish and just die. Thus I can only get like 16 battles before I gotta wait for morale.

[fair lance]

either exp book or dorm them to level them up before you can send them into w12 for the rest of the levels

[grave cove]

Gotcha, so it's gonna be a little slow either way

[rain bobcat]

12-1 lol

but also you should never be out of books

you should only ever use books to boost a ship to lvl 90, 100 if you are rich and never more

[sweet delta]

I boost some to 115

[rain bobcat]

115 is what

1000 books lol

[viscid swift]

I'd argue 70 but whatever

[fair lance]

Especially with ammo auto pickup now.

[rain vine]

still doesnt help some vanguards

[fair lance]

Eh, I've had some blue vanguards live at 80s (not tank though)

[slim hinge]

The support carriers in chapter 15 can't use any skills right?

[rain bobcat]

no

[hollow narwhal]

any guide for beginer?

[viscid swift]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[pulsar shell]

if a bulin has some lvl on it, can you not use it as limit break material anymore ?

[onyx flame]

you can just turn off the filter for lvl

[ivory sigil]

yeah i hate how my dock slot keep getting full so i keep my elite / sr bulin in the mail as long as possible

[rain bobcat]

just buy more dock

[hollow gust]

That's why you buy dock

[soft raft]

We dont have a livestream link yet right?

[ivory sigil]

I think expand later building Sandy does help me spend all my SR bulin/coin tho

[inland storm]

uh, im not seeing a way to get to the last area? its the puzzle where it inverts your location every time you move. except on the turn you land on the correct node

oh, wait a minute, i just realized where i have to go

[forest palm]

[inland storm]

im dumb

[forest palm]

honestly impressed they got the 3rd way point, but missed the tile for the 4th

[eternal moth]

Yeah, screw that puzzle. I always just run around randomly until TB offers help

[forest palm]

the puzzle is super easy

[sinful relic]

uh im having so many issues with al on bluestacks 5, game freezing, not loading, certain things showing, not being able to click anything, is there a better emulator? (i cnat run it on my phone)

[verbal plinth]

mumu works really good

[sinful relic]

ill give it a try.

[inland storm]

its more so i forgot it flipped me on the y axis as well as the x axis just for that node, even tho i knew what to do for the other nodes 💀

[hollow plank]

hello! new to augments. if i craft or creat an augment item such as san diego star blaster, can i upgrade it later on? or do I hve to upgrade it now to +10 before i craft? thank you

[viscid swift]

You can upgrade it later on but the main point of the augment is the skill upgrade so it would be rather pointless if you don't +10 it to start

[hollow plank]

ohh thank you! 😮

[clear harbor]

Me: AL braintrust, help me find like 2k more damage for this Meta battle
Also Me: Oh, I forgot to update my fleet with Eldrige and all her gear.

[uneven knot]

is upgrading this to +13 worth for musashi

[sweet delta]

What BBs do you have?

[uneven knot]

this is the lineup rn

[hollow plank]

Hello! What is the best way to get coins in the game? Also, sorry english is not my first language, on the guide,
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules/#s-tier-unique-augments

It means I should prioritize upgrading S tier unique augments first then A tier unique augments?

But if i don't hav eenough items or osmething, i should upgrade the p urple ones like dual swords? Did i get that right? Thank you!

[uneven knot]

i should have enough for the twin 457 by eow

[viscid swift]

Well you wouldn't craft augments for ships you're not using

And you get coins by spamming 12-4 in the main campaign

[whole crypt]

how much coins is a 12-4 again?

[atomic solstice]

~2k

[hollow plank]

For the tech packs, is it worth to always merge it into a golden tech pack? or like the blues to purples? thank you

[ivory sigil]

i guess there is no need to craft one if the t5 box gave me
tho it is not Quad but Quinn
Still from ironblood tho, but not worth to use right?

[ivory sigil]

There's no Purple to gold

[whole crypt]

only if you don't have a better launcher
the gold quints do less damage and the reload time is shit

[hollow plank]

ohhh dang. 😮 i thoguht it would be the same. so blues to purple then, always worth merging? thank you!

[whole crypt]

yes always craft up to purple first because you want a shot at the useful purple gear

[ivory sigil]

The purple tech box only worth if you are Azurlane player for 1st or 2nd week, that desperate need stuff

[ivory sigil]

yes, but no if you're bigbrain player want to make use the Handbook

cuz even if you open techbox t1 it still count for the handbook

[hollow plank]

ohhh 😮 i have a lot of purple but hten again i don't think ihave anygood gear (returning player) still a bit overwhelmed by it all. i appreciate all your inputs. thank you.

And all blue gears, i just discard? or is there one wo rth noting/keeping? trying ot just get a feel or summ ary of it as much as i can so i have a general direction of what to do haha

[smoky citrus]

Hey guys, thinking about making a new mobbing or boss fleet. What can I do with a musashi/shinano/shouhou set up?

maybe for a more boss like fleet I should replace shouhou with nagato?

[whole crypt]

yorktown is after maintenance tomorrow?

[whole crypt]

they continue to be useful for the first month or so

[ivory sigil]

About Blue, the one that worth keeping are:

-# Camouflage, Fire extinguster, Repairboxes, Hydraulic steering wheel.
You can discard all gray, with exception of those item above if you happen to be missing them on Blue rarity or higher rarity

Also, there are stuff that needed for Gearlab

you won't be getting a whole lot of tenrais and higher tier guns to replace your Helldivers and Mk6s before at least half a year

[hollow plank]

Thank you so much!

[whole crypt]

I see you're trying to make an IJN fleet so the usual disclaimer factionfleetbad
in any case if you want to stick to IJN ships then Shouhou as a healer belongs to the mob fleet
Musashi is a great mob fleet ship but with limited options on faction you may have to use her on boss
Nagato is 🚮 but IJN has 2 SR BBs that belong to top of gold BBs
end of the day it depends on what content you use this for, most things aren't difficult enough to really matter what you bring

[ivory sigil]

yeah you can even check plane commentary by dragging your mouse in the square of that gear

even if it golden rarity, it is still garbage

[smoky citrus]

It's not really faction fleet, it's just musa and Shina isamong the small handful ogf ships I have that ARE acutally ghood

my dock is actually in us chips in this thread though I did get some new ships like baltimore, minnie and a few other

[whole crypt]

it depends on what content you're tackling, are Musashi and Shinano already MLB?

[smoky citrus]

No

For now, I want flexible

so sometihng that will work for both op sci and story

[whole crypt]

if they're not MLB then you need to consider how many rainbow bulins you can throw around

story up to ch12 and OS mobbing are very trivial, levels and proper gearing will already do most of the lifting

[smoky citrus]

these are all my ult shjips

like I said, a handful

[whole crypt]

don't split up your bulins, and for now just don't bohter with Shinano and Musashi

[smoky citrus]

ok

[whole crypt]

Lion and NJ will already be more than enough

[blissful berry]

Idk if anyone remembers me but I was almost there...

[smoky citrus]

Lion is actually in my first boss fleet

[whole crypt]

have you done the attempts for today, if not you can probably get her before she's gone on maintenance
but you won't have crystals to LB her which makes her useless

[blissful berry]

I accidentally did yesterday's going into today, very last minute, so Im reopening the game to check if it did reset

Also I dont have any META ships LB, I just do it to collect. Dont really use them tbh

[whole crypt]

properly built and geared fleets with purples and golds are better than trying to fit non-MLB rainbows for most part, you might want to start a thread with your dock posted to see what can be put together
we're also probably getting at least 1 new UR in another week, which may change your fleets up once they come by

[whole crypt]

even if you don't get her now she'll be back with dossier eventually so no harm really

[smoky citrus]

I see, thanks. Will do

[blissful berry]

True true, thats just a lot of waiting and I like to have before the rerun 😞

[whole crypt]

there's plenty to do in the meantime, like getting the next new showdown and other dossiers you may still be missing

[smoky citrus]

My fleet 2.0

aight finished

bascaily, I just need one more boss fleet and mob fleet

[hollow plank]

from whihc of the 3 guides did you click? is it the equipment picture guide? 😮

[upbeat wagon]

Does it make sense to research a pr3 ship for the rookie mission after researching fdg, agir, anchorage, harbin and plymouth

[ivory sigil]

-# 🔹 List of equipment safe to scrap by thebombzen https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Thebombzen/Safe_To_Scrap_MK_II

[ivory sigil]

you mean this one?

[upbeat wagon]

Yeah the bottom quest

[onyx flame]

I mean you can for the rookie mission if you got nothing else you want to build in the shipyard

[whole crypt]

unless you really want to grab the proto cores for gear I would recommend keeping up with the newest series first

[upbeat wagon]

I need vanguards more than i need main fleet atm

[whole crypt]

if you're done completely with PR8 now you have breathing space to do catch up on older stuff and you won't need to catch up with it later

then there's PR7 and La-9s

[onyx flame]

Arent they asking bout just building and not researching?

[whole crypt]

it's more efficient to do both together

the research missions and catchup won't go anywhere

it's just more resources if you get around to them

[onyx flame]

I mean if they cant dev 30 and of the pr8 no rush to build then first anyway so might as well unlock one of the older ones to coin first

[upbeat wagon]

I am coining up agir and anchorage atm

[whole crypt]

I mean unless he's tech locked out of PR8 ships there's still plenty of time to finish PR8 before PR9

[upbeat wagon]

27~ dev level

[upbeat wagon]

I can do the iron blood/sardegna ones

[whole crypt]

might want to try to unlock the other ones while you're still at it

[upbeat wagon]

Could do pr3 for tech points too

nvm no eagle ship in pr3

[whole crypt]

if the ship gets you the tech points needed for PR8 sure

ultimately the research missions just end up being more items to convert for proto core

[upbeat wagon]

right

[whole crypt]

if you're done with the other series' missions then go ahead I guess you'll just be stuck out of clearing until you finish the ship

[upbeat wagon]

yeah stuck atm

[whole crypt]

if not you can do a series for which you already have a ship

ah so you're already doing series 3 now and need to finish a ship to get out of it? which other series are left?

[upbeat wagon]

i did ships for 4 and 5

I cant do quests for 4 and above

need pr3 ship

[whole crypt]

you already have Agir and Anchorage so series 4 mission is an auto clear when you get there

[upbeat wagon]

And 5

[whole crypt]

in that case would it be easy for you to do XP for either Cheshire or Mainz

Cheshire likely might have more use if you still lack AA carries

[upbeat wagon]

i have z52 and sandy (non retro but close)

Chesire could be easier

I have lion at 117, implac at 121 and hood at 120 but a bit above

[onyx flame]

shimanto for 6

[whole crypt]

well we're just looking at options for ships to work on for PR3 if you want to get out of it, Cheshire is the only one left with any real function as an AA carry

[upbeat wagon]

yeah easiest one to grind too it seems cuz id need to grind 2 of those ships anyways

[whole crypt]

you can also just pick whichever is easier to grind based on what ships you have to use

[upbeat wagon]

alright

ty for the help

cheshire is vanguard nvm

might need to research drake instead, doubt ill have coinup for cheshire anwyays

[sweet delta]

[onyx flame]

but drake also vnaguard?

and the coinup for drake cost is worse than chesire since she's a dr

[upbeat wagon]

oh ok cheshire it is then anyways

[onyx flame]

i did champy first for pr3 but that only cause i was grinding fleet tech

[slim hinge]

Does it matter if you equip your support carriers in chapter 15?

[hollow plank]

is there an upcoming UR already announced that I might have missed or a special event or osmethi g to watch out for? 😮

[cobalt rapids]

if you dont equip them then ur support fleet might aswell not exist

stream on 15

[slim hinge]

UR event will likely be on the 18th. The live stream is on the 15th and will be hosted by bilibili this time.

[wind hazel]

giff link

nvm found it

hindenburg background, clearly it's ironblood UR event

[ocean terrace]

wait actually?

[wind hazel]

no

[cobalt rapids]

yes thats actually hindenburg

[ocean terrace]

I meant the ironblood UR part

do these 'Blueprint Completion Plan' events happen often?

[whole crypt]

I'm not saying we will or will not get an ironblood event but I feel USS has better odds

regardless just wait for it

[ocean terrace]

oh yeah I'd assumed it was USS, which is why I got shocked by someone mentioning ironblood UR

especially since it's Mori

[whole crypt]

the point is we don't know

keep in mind Soyuz was also used to tease us for years before her actual event

[wind hazel]

sarcasm is a lost art in 2025

[cobalt rapids]

indeed, my bet is on IJN

[ocean terrace]

I recognised after mb

[wind hazel]

dw ill contact my uncle that works as janitor at yostar to tell dev to make it ironblood fr

[ocean terrace]

wait how so? like they used her character for events?

[hollow plank]

what auxilliary are good for CL ships? or for sirius in aprticular? i tried to check out the quick gear guide but i don't have those listed 😮

[wind hazel]

some character appear in the story before actual release

[cobalt rapids]

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

[whole crypt]

Soyuz in particular was even thrown onto a CTA if I remember correctly

[ocean terrace]

it's in the gear guide, just scroll down

[cobalt rapids]

wait i cant read

[ocean terrace]

whaaaat

[cobalt rapids]

if u dont have blue rudders and toolkits then just use w.e coz ure prob like ch3 or smth

[whole crypt]

some character arts appear before the actual ships get added

[ocean terrace]

are there any ships that have appeared and not been released yet? as of now?

[whole crypt]

Laffey II design was dropped a whole year before she became an actual ship

eh I don't think we have any outstanding designs that haven't made it to a ship yet for now

[ocean terrace]

what stories are you referring to btw, just random ones during events? or from campaign

[agile patrol]

i am really really tempted to ditch getting my 2nd wyvern first, and instead getting a 2nd tenrai so i can satisfy my need of making a double tenrai saratoga. should i give in to my urges?

[cobalt rapids]

2nd wyvern is better if u wanna push campaign
saratago doesnt warrant prioritizing her for investment but 2nd tenrai would be good anyway otherwise

[sweet delta]

*then u prob shouldn't use Sirius

[onyx flame]

dont they use different mats unless your limited by circuits which is prob the case

[agile patrol]

[agile patrol]

circuits are my worst enemy

[whole crypt]

same for everyone until you've played OS consistently for maybe a year or two

or 5

[onyx flame]

i play opsi for the total of 3 month now

[agile patrol]

I've been doing OS consistently for a few months now and i see no end to the circuit shortage

[whole crypt]

the drought will end trust

[wind hazel]

🤝

[onyx flame]

my circuit is looking aight only 130 something but i also haven't crafted too many things yet, 1 wyvern, 1 406mk7, 5 flaps, 1 sexy bofors and a suisei 12A

[wind hazel]

suisei user

[onyx flame]

all in the name to sync hakuhou, shinano and avp

[wind hazel]

[cobalt rapids]

so many flaps

[onyx flame]

😔 idk how it reach that way either but it was the only way cause i aint got no la9 to slow avp down enuf to sandwich

[wind hazel]

beacon/manjuu

we got 4 tb in the game for timing purposes

[onyx flame]

i might go fiddle with it in the future at least i can turn it into a tenrai

[wind hazel]

if you use suisei and still 3 strike, it's kinda cursed

[onyx flame]

it is but my tech also still kinda shite rn so only 16rld

[desert epoch]

Who

[onyx flame]

kurumi before collab existed

[strange sphinx]

[sinful relic]

question, does 10-2 have the konga line of suicide ships?

[wind hazel]

until 11-4

[sinful relic]

welp time to work on my 2nd fleet, would my main fleet count as a boss fleet or mob?

[wind hazel]

anything with unicorn=mob

you can bring stronger ships from this fleet to fleet 2, if they are equally raised

like nelson tohka yamai probably can work better on boss fleet, but idk who's over there as well so it can differ

[sinful relic]

i see. i know kurumi is def mob fleet. the twins work pretty well as mobs considering they have an ability that traps most of the ships on screen in a circle where they cant move.

[wind hazel]

sounds better on boss

trap the boss, nuke it more accurately

[sinful relic]

ohh true

[ivory sigil]

yeah if u somehow get oumi, she will enter the boss fleet with her

[wind hazel]

-# bismarck zwei at home:

[sinful relic]

oumi?

[ivory sigil]

oumi

[sinful relic]

it may be this attack?

i need to level it up, but it sounds pretty good

[ivory sigil]

-# the ship with bigchesto that holding her almost seethrough stockingoutfit like is gonna escape the moment she release her hand

[sinful relic]

[ivory sigil]

idk i dont have her either

[ivory sigil]

there ya go

[sinful relic]

oh its a super rare, im assuming its not in perm banner?

[wind hazel]

if you dont have Oumi you can ignore this entirely.
if you wanna know the interaction, it's because Yamai enables Oumi to shoot freely with her aux gun

[onyx flame]

drag them a lil and locks them in place to get smack but yea if you dont have her the interaction doesnt matter

[sinful relic]

ooh okay, yeah i dont have many ships apart from the daily 1 roll and ships i get off missions as im saving as much as possible for the UR

[wind hazel]

also it really isn't that impressive on newbie's account, since you guys lacking good DD gun

[sinful relic]

noted

should i use any of these blueprints? (mainly the ALL ones)

[ivory sigil]

we are just 3 months late from her release lol

[wind hazel]

depends on which series they are

series 4 and below, you can use to speed up Agir's development

[wind hazel]

5 and 6 you can speed up plymouth i guess. 7 for nakhimov, 8 for meck

[ivory sigil]

I realize... if mecklenburg is often use for Heavy boss, does it mean for most general usecase, she wont be perform as well as other top tier BB?

[wind hazel]

for gold bps, i forgot who's useful below 6.............

[ivory sigil]

just grab anchorge and fgd

[sinful relic]

this one?

[ivory sigil]

you need to prepare fleet tech 1st bro

[onyx flame]

i mean you can just hold the blanks till you need em

[sinful relic]

noted noted,

[wind hazel]

she still tops med and heavy

[ivory sigil]

i see, wait what if she use light gun?

[wind hazel]

only isn't a pick for light, but even then she's still useable if you dont have alsace zwei lion etc

she still do damage with HE gun

[onyx flame]

ur bb is still ur bb after all

[sinful relic]

ill be getting these two soon thankfully/

[wind hazel]

just not as strong vs Lion Alsace etc

[sinful relic]

well not soon but in 22 days.

should i buy these when i can?

[ivory sigil]

happy new year to you
happy new guns

nah just let it there, free storage

[sinful relic]

true

[wind hazel]

only buy when you wanna mlb UR ship

[wispy beacon]

UR event next week, right?

[sinful relic]

got it, ill be buying them soon then.

[ivory sigil]

but yeah getting Ironblood tech 950pts for a first month az player is not a fun experience

same as she @sinful relic

[sinful relic]

if iget it i get it.

thats how i roll

[ivory sigil]

i mean the guide did told the optimal way, but it is quite hardcore to finish them with in a month or 3, i think casually style could about half a year or so

[wind hazel]

nobody is asking you to get 950 pts in your first month lol

every guide is telling you to work your way towards Agir first...

and you will most likely start with Roon nevertheless

and sam's guide show you how to beeline towards the required faction tech points too

[sinful relic]

i started with saint is that fine?

[onyx flame]

i mean it doesnt really matter either way tbh if you follow the newbie guide letter for letter saint makes more sense since your vanguard is alr triple eu

[wind hazel]

yes. i mean you will start with Roon as your first step towards Agir lol

as in the ironblood faction tech farming process

[sinful relic]

I TOTALLY DIDNT ERALISE I COULD DO FIERCE ASSAULT FOR TECH BOXEWS

[onyx flame]

have you not been doing your dailies?

[wind hazel]

do your daily raid...... daily

[sinful relic]

this one

i cant do the sub one sadly

[wind hazel]

why cant you

[sinful relic]

i dont have subs

well i have one but it isnt leveld

[wind hazel]

exp book i-58 soon

[onyx flame]

where that suchi vid of the solo lvl 65 sub raid

[wind hazel]

https://youtu.be/cxC2Iy4XVfE?si=S3oaEm3OOfNL_vH0

[sinful relic]

thanks

also is the cruise pass worth it for a new player? im fine with spending a bit of money but is it worth for the money?

[onyx flame]

mostly depends if you like the skin, thou the additional mats are aight

[sinful relic]

should i get san diego or should i get someone that will help build my 2nd fleet. (yeah i havent bought it yet)

[onyx flame]

san diego

you can use her for the 2nd fleet anyway

[sinful relic]

ooh okay

[sinful relic]

hmm i might honestly

[woven star]

You can buy some double crystals pack. Imo it's more efficient

Cruise pass more about ship skin, some gear skin and UI skin. And some value of crystals

[sinful relic]

well all the parts are pretty useful including the tech boxes. im already at level 50 even though i still have like 52 days left.

[woven star]

Docks space is most issue in AL. Crystals solves most of these issues. Especially when double amount

[tulip tinsel]

that's normal

[sinful relic]

im pretty chill in terms of crystals cuz im like refusing to spend until i get the 2nd floor (one upgrade left)

[woven star]

Anyway it's all on you own what to buy. As for me I just waiting for better UI skin

[sinful relic]

the only skin i like thats apart of the BP would be this imo

[woven star]

This deer is not impressive for me

[sinful relic]

i personally dont care for the deer LOL

i just want the extra stuff

[woven star]

Did you saw some last UIs? Some of them looks nice.

[sinful relic]

yeah seen the fox girl but didnt have enough levels for her.

also the guide says its fine to buy the purples and blues?

[woven star]

Not sure

Best what you can expected it's cubes for coins if you have a lot of coins and as for me t3 aux part. There is always not enough of them. Most other things dropable

[whole crypt]

you basically don't want to buy boxes or plates from coin shop, at all

I'm not sure which guide says it's fine to buy them

[muted wind]

coins are definitely the bigger bottleneck, especially at these prices

[sinful relic]

noted, also are any of the META's worth buying? from supply shop[

[muted wind]

unless you plan to level them for tech, no, may as well wait

[woven star]

Just to be sure that we talking about same most of this UIs from previous passes

And for this season we got him

[plush inlet]

Will there be a re-run for the retrofit item for Essex?

[gilded carbon]

Likely next August

[tulip tinsel]

after like 1year

[sinful relic]

is she any good? just got her from doing my 1 pull.

[warm flare]

can somebody tell me why implacable have that low dmg?
she is 10-10-10 and still hit that low
what im doing wrong

[nova burrow]

Shes not launching because everything dies befor?

[forest palm]

for one she's not MLB, and two you have two ships that launch right out the gate and hog most of the damge

[rain bobcat]

she doesn't get the chance to fire lmao

[warm flare]

MLB?

[warm flare]

make sense ig

[tulip tinsel]

she misses the last star (mlb)

[slim hinge]

Does the support carrier fleet contribute to AA damage?

[warm flare]

last star?
sorry im dumb when it comes to this game

[tulip tinsel]

last limit break

[analog tendon]

Is the Call to Arms event basically "put these ships in your fleet and they get a special bonus to exp gained"?

[warm flare]

ohh

[tulip tinsel]

smth like that, and in like 1 or 2 week there will be a frame or smth

[onyx flame]

first part of cta is the ships listed get extra exp when sent to sortie

[scenic mesa]

Will PR7 blueprints be coinable soon?

[onyx flame]

no

[gilded carbon]

As well as Special Missions and usually a prologue of sorts

[whole crypt]

not bad but whether you should spare the resources for her depends on what you have

[analog tendon]

i'm so gonna obliterate my entire oil stock to level up Lexington and Hornet to 70. I'm 50 tech points away from unlocking Anchorage and MLB those 2 give 25 points each

[whole crypt]

CTA is basically 1 week before event some ships get bonus XP
during the event the ships will be in missions for chat frame point
except you can get the chat frame without bothering with any of them if you get and MLB event ships

if you want to raise the ships with the bonus yes it's more efficient but overall it's kind of whatever

[onyx flame]

also when jp patch notes says adding stuff next maint they usually mean the main after right? cause i see mention adding york2 to perma

[whole crypt]

lemme check

yes looks like Yorktown II archive in the following maintenance

[onyx flame]

that kinda quick

[gilded carbon]

Is Yorktown II worth in interrupting the mlb-process for Vanguard from pity?

[whole crypt]

well what it says is in a maintenance after the coming one (not specifically the next)
what usually happens is in the following maintenance

[onyx flame]

first question is musashi and shinano mlb already?

[whole crypt]

but even then Yorktown II is just a bit earlier than the usual

[gilded carbon]

Long, yes. And im really not lacking CVs

With Amagi and Hakuhou

[whole crypt]

no the first question is how many bulins do you have because we have a new UR coming

possibly 2

[gilded carbon]

2 + 20k currency for them

[whole crypt]

if you have enough to spare for Vanguard and/or Yorktown II then it depends on whether either of them helps you complete a better setup than what you currently have

[gilded carbon]

For that, i should make new Screenshots and an thread

[scenic mesa]

UR Indiana when?

[whole crypt]

we have Indiana and she's not UR
if you're looking for a retrofit there's many more waiting and I don't know if she's ever due for one
if you're looking for an Indiana II... is there a real ship for Indiana II?

[sinful relic]

well i need to do something for my 2nd fleet

[scenic mesa]

There's no Indiana 2 irl I'm afraid

[sinful relic]

my main fleet rn will be split into mob and boss fleet, so i need ships that fill in the gaps.

[scenic mesa]

Btw Is Peter Strassburg a good IB ship? I'm trying to make an IB fleet

[gilded carbon]

New UR-Pity YKII

[scenic mesa]

Which one of them is good?

[onyx flame]

obligatory faction fleet is bad
only good ones are fritz and z52 i think

[scenic mesa]

Yeah. I'm trying to rush IB PR research

[steel swift]

Eugen

Is she good for completing the campaign?

[wind hazel]

worse than agir or anchorage

[steel swift]

What about her?

I'm looking for someone suitable to replace Agir or Hindenburg.

[warm latch]

youre going to struggle because agir and hinden are both very good ships, assuming they are actually at dev30

well hinden is less good for the campaign

if you cant get them dev30 or mlb you just dont use them at all

[wind hazel]

unzen great ship but this is not good

[warm latch]

not mlb = shit

a mlb blue ship will be better

[undone plover]

does this ever give 65 cog chips?
or is it always 70
I never noticed this
or is the 65 if u dont manage S rank?

[forest palm]

it's the UR CA Gun in the same season....

[steel swift]

Okay

[undone plover]

thx idk why i didnt check wiki

[fluid merlin]

does doing all date a live character fleet give them a buff?

[rain bobcat]

no

[fluid merlin]

who is good among these

[harsh cargo]

When's the Implacable rerun?

[onyx flame]

she alr reran so your looking at like a year ish before she gets added to perma

[undone plover]

closer to 6 months I would say

[onyx flame]

she was right after yk2 right?

it might be even closer cause york2 is getting added next maint (18 dec one i think) according to jp anni

[harsh cargo]

Damn I missed her somehow

[covert sierra]

Is there a priority for Dossier?

[onyx flame]

you can prob expect her next year in perma

[rain bobcat]

none

[onyx flame]

not really jintsuu meta is prob the only good one and maybe kirov for some weird niche thing, the rest is mostly tech like soryuu meta +2 cv rld

[rapid shard]

Wichita META thats being added is pretty good as well from what I heard and she will be added after maintenance

[wind hazel]

good with condition

[rapid shard]

Whats the condition?

[wind hazel]

her hp is low

[plush inlet]

I am so cooked.

[upbeat wagon]

Do you need to form your opsi mobbing fleet in a specific way (aside from a healer), are cv's preferred over bb's and vice versa?

[regal crater]

Is there any guide for chapter 13?

[wind hazel]

no, but usually you start with bb and/or cv fleet, eventually when you have every ship they can be mixed

[wind hazel]

use more CV, can triple CV mob if you're having difficulty, use good AA vanguard ship like sandiego, use circle formation

league of her own

[rain bobcat]

ridiculous damage

problem is she needs to be low and she might as well be as thick as an ant

[onyx flame]

oh neat jp strim on 17

[ivory sigil]

Nice , i both got her too, probably 3 4 days earlier

but seem like she isnt worth replace anyone yet

[small quarry]

How do you get those two items... I have some, but I don't know exactly how I farmed them lol (Actually, I need help acquiring 2 items from the 2nd image, please. I'm missing 2 for the LB .)

[onyx flame]

crystal frags are from weeklies and opsi arbiter (maybe someother stuff im forgetting)
boise meta crystal is from this 2 months battle pass

[ivory sigil]

she is not worth build
And 2 you get her automatically after finish the cruisepass

And the cruisepass is not even unlock the 3rd week yet (they had 8 week in total iirc)

[forest palm]

So JP stream on the 17th?

[ivory sigil]

i have 30k ... if the UR banner appear would it last long enough for me to reach 300k in time?

well i cant sure at lv73 would get this much

how long a UR banner last??

[fair lance]

new ones 2 weeks reruns 1 week

[small quarry]

You set off an alarm in my head, I forgot it cost gold along with the cube... well, goodbye research for now, I only have 10,000 and almost 250 cubes. 😭 😭 😭

[ivory sigil]

oh fx

[small quarry]

In a UR event, how many cubes are consumed per draw?

[onyx flame]

2 per pull

[tulip tinsel]

2

[onyx flame]

so you need 400 cubes in total as 200 pull is pity

[rain bobcat]

do we still have cn strim on the 15th

[weary edge]

what is average commander growth in this game? i started around 2 weeks before hakuhou event started and im now commander lvl 99, is that faster or slower than most?

[tulip tinsel]

depends on how much you play you play less= slower you play a lot = faster

[rapid shard]

I started end of July and bought the lv70 boost pack. Im lv117 right now but I do play quite a bit

[weary edge]

i lowk just afk grind while studying lol

[onyx flame]

sounds normal ish, thou tbh commander level doesnt mean much once your at like 100? iirc

[weary edge]

yea i think once ur lvl 100 u have access to all lvl locked content

i still remember thinking private quarters was like an extra dorm for morale boost 😭😭😭🫩🫩

[small quarry]

For those who started during the collaboration or started at the end of it, like me, it's best to skip this UR event, even if it's at the SSS level. You won't be prepared unless you invest real money in the game. 😌

[tulip tinsel]

just get lucky

[weary edge]

???? why would you skip it what

[tulip tinsel]

laffey 2 is free anyway

[hollow gust]

??????????????

[weary edge]

i literally started fresh 2 weeks before hakuhou came out and pulled her in like 20 pulls

[small quarry]

I don't have all the resources, it's simple, you'd have to rely on an RNG given by the "gods".

[hollow gust]

You make up to 300 cubes a month if you grind your comms ,tf you mean spending real life money

[glacial widget]

this is insane and objectively wrong advice wtf lol

[weary edge]

ok but just bc u dont doesnt mean other people dont 😭😭😭

[hollow gust]

Skipping a UR event is such a absurd take

[junior fractal]

in comparison for data I started around the same time and it took me 180 pulls, it's all about luck. Unzen took 50 something.

[tulip tinsel]

when i came back to al it was lion event and got like 4 dupes or smth

[sick wind]

just gamble

[junior fractal]

yeah new players, ignore this dude saying to skip the UR event lmao

[hollow gust]

You have 3 weeks to save , and the event lasts 2-3 weeks. You are saying you can't get 2-400 cubes in a 6 week time period ?

[small quarry]

I'm not imposing my will on others; I'm giving my opinion based on my resources. I don't follow anyone, and I don't force anyone to do what I say.

[weary edge]

ive lowk been like extremely lucky with pulls, i got unzen twice and only spent like ~20 cubes (God bless support build tickets)

[ivory pawn]

You can hide behind it being an “opinion”, but that doesn’t make it any less of a very poor decision to be sharing in a gameplay channel.

[weary edge]

yeah but this is gameplay help and what you advised is extremely unhelpful no offence 😭😭

[tulip tinsel]

i got unzen for free iirc

[rain vine]

there shouldnt be any opinion involved when you can calculate how many cubes you can get in a given time period

[hollow gust]

UR events are by far the most ships op ships the game , and they are locked down by a 400 cube pity. You have a significant amount of time to save for it if you started during the collab event. Where did your cubes go?

[sick wind]

but like most of the time you get the ship before 100th roll

this game is quite generous thb

[weary edge]

i think you should also pull for the new event UR

[hollow gust]

AL is one of the most f2p gatcha games ever, why would you spend money on gatcha currency

[junior fractal]

I personally only pull on UR events as a newer player about 3 months in

[weary edge]

same

[onyx flame]

they want it now, no waiting

[junior fractal]

that being said I spent idk 40 cubes on DAL and got very very lucky and got all the good units there, but otherwise I save for URs 🙂

[weary edge]

i hope it’s NOT lexington II

[forest palm]

it's actually funny how buying cubes is actively a rip off

[weary edge]

how many cubes do u get from daily missions again? net total of 3?

[forest palm]

yes, 4 if there's a rerun going

[weary edge]

then u can get cubes from commissions so like, u can get almost like 4-6 cubes daily

[hollow gust]

168 cubes are guaranteed a month +100-150 from diligent cube commissions

[forest palm]

suffice to say AL is modeled to push outfit sales

[junior fractal]

I had two back to back 2 cube rewards from commissions this morning, felt amazing

[weary edge]

okay bro congrats 🫩🫩🫩

[hollow gust]

New players have access to the rookie missions tab which is another 50+ cubes

[forest palm]

Cruise Pass will also yeet cubes at a new players that have consistent activity

[junior fractal]

ty ty I know I know, trophy room is thata way

[weary edge]

bigger flex than pulling a UR in first 10

[whole lichen]

Is there ways to obtain past ssr metas

[forest palm]

Dossier

[hollow gust]

Dossier

[whole lichen]

what is that

[weary edge]

but im pretty sure some are unobtainable yet

[tulip tinsel]

there's like 5-10 unobtainable rn

[hollow gust]

When new ones come , another one comes back

[weary edge]

go to where under the cruise pass it says meta

[forest palm]

no...

[hollow gust]

[onyx flame]

i mean technically it is correct

[weary edge]

wdym under cruise missions it says meta showdown

well, under specialised core

[muted wind]

... yeah the button is in fact there

[tulip tinsel]

iirc under cruise it's spec core but under that it's meta s.d.

[onyx flame]

pedantic

[weary edge]

yeah i just couldnt remember what was between them lol

[whole lichen]

why is the dossier list so tiny compared to the amount of metas

[junior fractal]

timegated dossier

[weary edge]

bc they dont want us having the cool ones

[whole lichen]

So most metas are unobtainable now

[novel solstice]

The dossier list doesn't include metas from cruise pass, and for ones that were from opsi they only add to dossier after a long delay.

[hollow gust]

There are 14 metas in dossier... you are only missing like 6?

[onyx flame]

it takes only about a year and a half for them to get added to dossier

[ivory pawn]

Cruise Pass METAs are added to the META shop.

[weary edge]

i mean most metas arent that useful and not worth investing (i think) especially if ur a newer player, but i hear yuudachi meta isnt bad

[forest palm]

SR Meta get shoved into a store in the munitions shop, SSR Meta are put into the Dossier it's that simple

[muted wind]

yeah, there are more than half of all past meta showdowns already in the dossier. some ssr metas were from events after

[onyx flame]

legit only mssing these and wichita is getting added next update

[whole lichen]

the elite meta I'm looking for is not in any of these

[weary edge]

kawakaze my beloved

[weary edge]

probably in shop then

[hollow gust]

You said SR ones.... elites are different

[ivory pawn]

Elite METAs go to shop.

[whole lichen]

yeah the supply shop right

[weary edge]

which one u looking for gng

[muted wind]

yeah, the elite metas just go into the shop, they didn't have a showdown. they just come for free with cruise missions

[onyx flame]

might be a gacha/event one

[muted wind]

... there were event elite metas?

[tulip tinsel]

maybe some1 like glorious or the sub meta which dropped from map/shop?

[forest palm]

nah gacha event Meta are SSRs

[whole lichen]

so metas like bolzano erebus foch etc is not added yet?

[strange urchin]

Hello guys where can I see some of the lineups that people use to clear W15 on auto?

[ivory pawn]

And you’re gonna be waiting a long time tbh, especially for Bolzano.

[weary edge]

this one’s out of my paygrade can somebody handle this 😭😭

[onyx flame]

neveda meta my bb rld tech

[strange urchin]

Lol been putting it off for so long even though I have almost all SSRs to atleast lvl 120 except for the newer ones.

[muted wind]

misses one ship
account bricked for the next 3 years

[onyx flame]

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

[tulip tinsel]

foch meta was in like summer 2024 summer cruise pass or smth

[weary edge]

im reading this and w15 looks really hard 😢😢☹️☹️

[onyx flame]

i mean it is but its also what 2 year old now? so powercreep has happen

[muted wind]

yeah, the latest campaign chapters are some of the hardest content. with recent ships, it's easier, but you still need prep

[weary edge]

if i cant afford to +13 meck gun is it worth to use a +13 champ/flandre gun over a +10 meck gun

[onyx flame]

i say but im like never leaving chp 12 might do chp 13 someday just to get its hardmode thou

[muted wind]

i think so. unless you're fighting heavy apparently

[ivory pawn]

Erebus should be added Aug 2026. Foch Feb 2027. Bolzano Dec 2027.

[weary edge]

well they’re all AP guns

[muted wind]

yeah but they still all have different modifiers

[weary edge]

real as shit

[strange urchin]

Thank you

[weary edge]

i see

[onyx flame]

+13 should be better you can prob do a dps check on lars calcuator

[muted wind]

i mean, i'm just looking at the wiki's dps numbers, +13 flandre/champ is definitely higher than +10 meck, but they also have basically the same number for heavy... but also that's not a super good statistic

honestly, meck gun may still be worth it just for geometric accuracy

[weary edge]

should i use meck gun on meck? hmm 🤔🤔

semi serious question btw

[rapid shard]

Good gear on a good ship lol lot of people run that combo

[ivory pawn]

You use Meck gun on BBs vs Hvy/Med. Exact ship depends on how many you have, but if Meck is dev30 she should be one of the higher priorities.

[stark narwhal]

what would be my best general use fleet I can use?

[weary gust]

There are no general fleets

[tulip tinsel]

why unicorn not retro

[stark narwhal]

well I want to use the same fleet for siren stuff/campaign etc

[muted wind]

... yeah, may as well vertically invest into one fleet at early on

[weary gust]

Anything works in opsi for general clearing of the map and campaign below w12. A bigger problem you have is you're dividing up your gold bulins and so you have a bunch of unusuable non-mlb ships.

[stark narwhal]

gotcha

[weary gust]

Don't have time for details as I'm about to leave for work but retrofit Unicorn, use her with Enterprise and find a good BB (not warspite) to put as flag, use Tohka for your tank and Laffey/Voroshilov for vanguard. Only used 1 fleet for now.

[onyx flame]

should get unicorn up and running she basically be in your fleet forever unless your lvling

[muted wind]

don't really have anything to add, kurumi is a good choice to invest in too, but do that later. the bbs are all kinda meh also

[stark narwhal]

what bb should I try to go for?

[ivory pawn]

Do you have BB in the medal shop?

[hollow gust]

did you get get the BB from collab? If not Nelson

[stark narwhal]

No

[muted wind]

... while the nelson advice is sound, you don't have her either. could grind for her in 2-3 or 5-4, but that may be a waste of time within 2 weeks

maybe just upgrade indepence. no bb is kinda annoying due to lack of intercept, but i don't want to suggest anything that'll end up being a waste of resources

[weary edge]

and stop splitting bulins 😭😭

[stark narwhal]

splitting?

[weary edge]

focus on max limit breaking one ship at a time

[muted wind]

ships are bad until max limit break, so either max them out or don't use any

[weary edge]

either max limit break or dont limit break at all

[muted wind]

-# *baring rare exceptions

[stark narwhal]

seems like sound advice lol

[weary edge]

only time you’d do that is with a copy of the ship, not with bulins

since copies just take up dock space

[weary edge]

Alabama

[onyx flame]

they dont got bb in the their medal shop

[muted wind]

(alabama would be in the medal shop, but that's now something to check in january)

[weary edge]

assuming ur EN u have CA and CL in shop, so id say get sandy from CL

[muted wind]

(every EN server also has its own medal shop rotation)

[stark narwhal]

SS CV

[onyx flame]

they prob meant lil enty

[strange urchin]

W15 fleet and gear help because I'm a dummy who can't do it by myself lol.

[weary edge]

uhh who r the options for cv

[muted wind]

never seen anyone refer to it like that

[onyx flame]

enterprise is the only right choice

[muted wind]

they already have enterprise

[ivory pawn]

They already have MLB Enty don’t they?

[weary edge]

i mean they already have enterprise mlb so

i think shoukaku aint bad either right

[onyx flame]

i mena if they alr have then there no realy need to buy the medal hull

unless faction tech

[weary edge]

or u could just invest in specialised cores

[muted wind]

SS is apparently just u-96? is the wiki up to date or is that just the state

[undone plover]

what are the best CV x-fleet?

[stark narwhal]

spec cores from campaigns right?

[weary edge]

yea u can also buy up to like 3000 from medal shop

[undone plover]

weekly missions also give spec core

[stark narwhal]

do campaign reruns give cores?

[weary edge]

that plus monthly specialised core limit is already 2 bulins

[undone plover]

non medal shop sources cap at 5k
3k from medal
total 8k/month

[weary edge]

yes as long as ur not at monthly limit

[stark narwhal]

alr alr

[ivory pawn]

Wiki is up to date on Medal Shop.

[weary edge]

also please build uni retrofit 😭😭😭

unicorn u can buy from guild shop

[ivory pawn]

(They have Unicorn.)

[stark narwhal]

lol I will, I had assumed rarity = usefulness lol

[weary edge]

noooooo no no no no

[muted wind]

rookie mistake

[ivory pawn]

Well you’re gonna make Uni gold, so kinda?

[weary edge]

build helena too, most rookie fleets will have portland, starter ship, and helena in their vanguard

[muted wind]

i'd say helena is optional, especially when they already have other ships leveled

[weary edge]

i feel like helena would still be a good investment considering their state in the game

[stark narwhal]

war archive stuff worth going into or na?

[weary edge]

divergent chessboard for iron blood fleet tech

[onyx flame]

only if you need commmander exp or faction tech

[rapid shard]

Only if you need Iron Blood ships or cant do W9+ yet

[onyx flame]

i kinda wish it was dark mode

[stark narwhal]

so keep bulins until I got a ship to actually star up?

[viscid swift]

pretty much

[stark narwhal]

last question for now, is it worth retiring any sr ships?

[viscid swift]

I would not retire any unique copies of ships

[ivory pawn]

If you need space and can’t buy more space, I’d only retire ships you can easily get back.

You’ve got 70 space, that’s plenty to be comfy for now, but you’ll want to buy more asap. Probably after dorm upgrades tho.

[upbeat wagon]

Spend gems on first second floor of dorm(?), then on dock space

[harsh cargo]

What URs should I work on?

[cobalt rapids]

wait for UR event
unless u can get multiple bulins in shop rn

[harsh cargo]

Yeah I can get like 6

[forest palm]

again better to just wait till the UR event

[cobalt rapids]

would still wait 1 more week since double UR is a possibility

[ivory sigil]

errr just consider me as an example then since I did start during the collaboration

After 3 weeks in AZ game i had accumulate about 330+ cubes (some are in my mail)
