[uneven barn]

Just got the Eagle union's UR AA gun. But I don't know to whom it'd be most beneficial. Please enlighten me. I thought of sandy but that's it

[onyx flame]

prob put it on your AA carry first

[stark quiver]

Who is in your fleet

[scenic mesa]

Is this gun any good?

[stark quiver]

Yeah cbs

[scenic mesa]

+13 it?

[ivory sigil]

ough... they're serious. 2 seconds left for boss
i really need a mobfleet now

[stark quiver]

No

[scenic mesa]

Thanks

[uneven barn]

My general purpose fleet (used for w13) is now:

Shinano, Hakuhou, Amagi CV, Anchorage, z52, hindenburg

Essex, kearsarge, Fritz, Agir, Helena and Sandy

I know it's not well tailored one. I cleared w13 with this abomination.

[tulip tinsel]

just give it to the ship that has the best aa, in that case sandy

[hollow gust]

eagle aa should go to 2nd best most of the time, sextuple op asf

[ivory sigil]

Are there isnt anyone that healable like unicorn and good for early player? No?

[rapid shard]

Uni lol

[tulip tinsel]

every other healer is mid compared to uni

[rapid shard]

Plus they are not easily aquireable like she is

[ivory sigil]

But unicorn in endgame ranking are mostly D D D with only mob14 as S exception

[soft raft]

Finally got off my ass and found the Youtube link for the upcoming stream and does anyone know why tf it's on the 17th 💀

[hollow gust]

uni is the easy to obtain and good for newbies

[hollow gust]

[soft raft]

Her whole damn point as a healer is to be a perament fixture in your mobbing fleet so idk what you were expecting

[onyx flame]

yea thats cause you only need a healer in mob?

[hollow gust]

There are 2 streams, 1 for jp and 1 for CN; CN is monday 7am est

[ivory sigil]

Yeah i just want to look for a viable one with higher ranking than her to focus that's all

[hollow gust]

this is why its called endgame ranking , its useless for early game players

[tulip tinsel]

most of them are event locked so you won't get most anytime soon

[ivory sigil]

Been seeking up and down in that endgame ranking, i think neptune look viable?

[weary gust]

All fleets are purpose built, not many ships can go into whatever fleet and do as well as specialized ships for that role. The ships who can do that are borderline broken op.

[soft raft]

Hell no lmfao

[hollow gust]

1. newbies dont understand it
2. Endgame is different from early

[soft raft]

Aquila and Volga are both peramently avaliable now

[hollow gust]

although nepnep is pretty solid as a ship, shes very good but not worth it for newies

[ivory sigil]

She had proper ranking with C C C so i think it should be my next target

Beside i like her looks
Tho i been skeptical for her power, they mostly mention her as tanker

[violet grail]

Why are you looking at endgame rankings at all?

[hollow gust]

she needs her special augment and preferably fate 5; its just a medcore investment

[soft raft]

C means mid as hell when you ideally want at least S

[onyx flame]

trying to run before even crawling

[hollow gust]

if you want something thats actually tanky and high dps, use your tohka and kurumi........

and even the twins

[ivory sigil]

My fleet got almost demolished at Hardmode map11 that's all.

I just want to seek for a proper mob team that isnt rely much on mine current

Tohka and Kurumi already full build but they got excluded from TPD stat

[topaz smelt]

its more likely a gear issue than ships

[ivory sigil]

Refer to this team

[topaz smelt]

or the fundamentally obv, levels

[violet grail]

Bruh just get your ships to lv 120 lel and check the gear guide.

[hollow gust]

Well no shit you ships are unleveled as fuck and you are using pos just to fulfil torp

[soft raft]

Also maybe try moving your battleships to the flag position so they can have full angles against suicide boats

[ivory sigil]

I did trade sandy for Kurumi and then lvl up those Normal DD to higher lvl for matching TRP

Got S score finally but i worry about Hard chap12

[hollow gust]

lvl120 ships will provide more then enough torp without havinng to run shitters for puny 100 torp

[ivory sigil]

This team helped me S that Hard11

[tulip tinsel]

if you can barely get h11 trp req you won't get h12 anytime soon

[ivory sigil]

But i skeptical about the DD im building

[topaz smelt]

manual players

[tulip tinsel]

lowest is 2100 torp h12-1

[soft raft]

Fleet 1 has literally no tanks and in Fleet 2 your tank is in the wrong position

[ivory sigil]

Since they are not Z23 i feel invest them into lv100 are like hopeless

[ivory sigil]

Fleet1 is just dummy
And fleet2 got carried by kurumi

[soft raft]

Kurumi is still in the wrong position

[ivory sigil]

The heal from unicorn wasnt enough for auto so i give yoshino in
And thus the auto is clear

[topaz smelt]

the end game is getting every ship to 120

[weary gust]

Having only one fleet to clear higher level hardmodes is not advised. And your ships are underleveled, Kurumi is in wrong position, battleships were previously in wrong position. You have issues and the end game tier list isn't going to help any of them.

[ivory sigil]

Kotori are flagship tho

[hollow gust]

you realize if you use proper ships and gear and leveled up sufficiently enough you get torp stat naturally?

[ivory sigil]

The icon is missing the ingame battle still function smoothly

Kurumi did stand at the end of fleet

I dont want to be brag about my stubborness but i just want to maximize my chance until the next UR appear in 17th dec

[hollow gust]

not to mention how much gearing will give too

[viscid swift]

we reccomend you start developing a 2nd fleet around W9 for a reason

[viscid swift]

you know the event will last 2 weeks at least right?

[ivory sigil]

Yeah i been stocked up coin and cube

[topaz smelt]

this meta fight is kinda cooked

[ivory sigil]

Pretty much hopefully she would be something savior , unless she is Niche

[viscid swift]

I've seen your coin count and it's above 300k

[hollow gust]

Just yamai at hgh enough level gives more torp stat then both those shiranui and Gridley put together

[cursive sky]

Is she any good?

[viscid swift]

you can afford to spend some upgrading ships for a 2nd fleet

[topaz smelt]

shes not rainbow

[hollow gust]

nope tech fodder and please no more pulling

[viscid swift]

meh, not terrible not great

[cursive sky]

k

[hollow gust]

we have UR next week

[ivory sigil]

I had well calculated. If somewhat missing like 50k i would easily manage by retire or gems

i play the game the desperate way if that UR is proven enough tho

[hollow gust]

[soft raft]

Stop pulling on special pool bruh
Highly likely the upcoming UR event will also be special pool

[viscid swift]

you do know you only need 300k coins for 200 builds right

[ivory sigil]

I will continue after knowing the UR

[soft raft]

Pretty sure you cant even buy coins with gems in the first place

At least afaik

[viscid swift]

what

[ivory sigil]

Yes. Totally aware.

[rain vine]

you can, but the value proposition is horrible

[cursive sky]

First time I pulled on special bro 💔

[tulip tinsel]

u can buy 15k coin for 450 gem but it's the worst ass deal

[soft raft]

lmfao

that's like 3 runs of W12 with 2x plan

[tulip tinsel]

yea

[hollow gust]

there is just so much wastage, like your effort to not use resources actively harms your progresss for UR event

[onyx flame]

450 gems? damn what a scam

[tulip tinsel]

or 100 gem for 3k coin

[hollow gust]

man thats more expensive then cubes

[topaz smelt]

let the rich man whale

[knotty jolt]

I've spent idk how much gems on coins and cubes cause of my impatience

[ivory sigil]

Yeah i understand that
I was abit stubborn to sprint this far with DAL team.
i wasnt reach chapter 12 yet. But the Hard chap11 really told me that im close to reach a stop post.

I sorry for causing some abnormal situation but afterall it is been 3 weeks of testing and judging.
With a 3-weeks player, reaching this far wasnt ideal or possible at all without the help from you guys

[topaz smelt]

ppl can get to w12 in 2 weeks

[ivory sigil]

Is that during laffey2 banner or something?

[forest palm]

there's being rich, and there's being stupid, though the line may blur at times this is sheer stupidity

[topaz smelt]

the rich is often stupid

[ivory sigil]

i got lvl lock tho

[hollow gust]

thats how fast i got to w12 on my lile acc. with perma ships only

[upbeat wagon]

Is laffey 2 rerun close?

[viscid swift]

probably sometime early next year

[forest palm]

maybe a month or more

[ivory sigil]

If 3 week ago i start with 5$ it would help lv70 inmediate
But i stubborn with free so i end up havent able to test my DAL team in Chap12

[weary gust]

A month or two away is close imo

[hollow gust]

struggling with the new DAL ships is impressive

[topaz smelt]

youd struggle if you suddenly ditch all your leveled ships for half leveled shitters

[hollow gust]

2 weeks of progress till I ditched it since I was busy

[topaz smelt]

can prob clear 13 with that

[hollow gust]

it clears w12 fine, and i got anchorage in 2 weeks

[topaz smelt]

how close are you to haku on that acc

[forest palm]

well Anchorage is basically done at Dev 25

[hollow gust]

ya

[hollow gust]

I rushed eagle and Anchorage to punish newbies in PvP

[topaz smelt]

man bbs fucking suck on this meta

[ivory sigil]

Wait who is the 110 lv ?

[onyx flame]

juneau iirc

[hollow gust]

Ya

[viscid swift]

Juneau retro

[topaz smelt]

tbh a lot more than i expected on 2 weeks

[hollow gust]

retro juneau is a super carry

[ivory sigil]

I heard she is good for pvp but i been spaming for medal, maybe i should build her then?????)

Maybe build her before finish Sandy/UR ?

[hollow gust]

we get some goodies to start so it gave me a week headstart

[hollow gust]

bit late....she has everything you need for early game. instead of looking for new ships to level, work on your twins and exissting ships

[topaz smelt]

was that during the new server event

[viscid swift]

it would have been

still the most broken event in AL's history

[weary gust]

You should level up the ships you currently have for a usuable fleet.

[hollow gust]

june is a early game investment that gives you so much stats and support you need

[viscid swift]

doubt we'll ever see it on EN again

[hollow gust]

lil lion server trust

[upbeat wagon]

as in 2027?

[topaz smelt]

imagine assuming player base is growing

[weary gust]

Is 2027 next year?

[viscid swift]

2026

[upbeat wagon]

someone reacted no to it being close

[hollow gust]

oh shit this is my old fleet

[weary gust]

"Close" is subjective. Several other people said a month or two.

[forest palm]

game's been around for almost a decade so it's doing something right

[weary edge]

goon 🫩🫩

[ivory sigil]

wait she is UR tho... does u mean people spending 400 cube for a sub?

I dont have anyone SR sub. So idk what is that reward?

[ivory sigil]

Woah june 2025? Iirc there was Blackshooter collab right? Heard she is a decent BB

And then there is also Oumi event

And then the UR sub

[rapid shard]

Oumi and 404 was same event. and 404 was shop UR

[viscid swift]

June is short for Juneau here

[tropic rapids]

whats the fastest way to clear a war archive

[viscid swift]

what do you mean clear

[undone plover]

she was free from event shop

[undone plover]

most WA u just want to reach D3 map asap

unless u are fishing a certain non D3 map drop

[ivory sigil]

too much fomo

Omg 1st 25gems from comms
I thought they were fake comms

That's mean -75 gems from my 2 misclick i need three more time

[analog tendon]

Does the "face the Hard boss node directly when Clearing Mode is on" work on War Archive hard maps too?

[soft raft]

No

[analog tendon]

FCK

[tulip tinsel]

campaign hard mode only

[keen owl]

This Team OK for York Meta?

[soft raft]

tbh alot of shit works for pre lvl 15 META Boss

and currently she dies in like 2 UR BB barrages so lol

[keen owl]

Does Soyuz need to be Middle

[soft raft]

No

Lion would be flag anyways so she can be buffed even more by Ply

[keen owl]

I use this same team vs Renown META but i cant One round her

But why does Bismarck always get the First Salvo even if Lion have lower Main Gun Cooldown

[sweet delta]

Have you read Bismarck skills

[keen owl]

Nah im Proud Pureblood EN

I cant, Illiterate

I just Copy. Me see, Me do too

Ok imma read it

Does Her Rld buff dont reflect on the Gear Tale of the tape?

[sweet delta]

Gear s screen doesn't show any reload modifiers

[eternal basalt]

What's the command to get info on mail storage?

[keen owl]

So its Summoning Gaming to beat the Mama Irisviel Meta, the corrupted Holy Grail

[scarlet cosmos]

Can i use daisen before dev 30

[sweet delta]

You can use any ship before MLB or dev 30

[scarlet cosmos]

Thats true! I guess it doesnt matter if I’m just leveling her

[keen owl]

Should Have focused on Mcklenborger

Too much shortage on BP

[sweet delta]

4 salvo 457 does less damage than 4 salvo triple or quad gun

[keen owl]

Should i just Musashi Gun?

I have 2 set of those the i just use the AP+

[rich blaze]

Which design plan UR gear should I craft first?

I have 11 miscellaneous ones

[sweet delta]

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

[sweet delta]

use these two plus probably a 457 depending on which 3 bbs you use. Or go la9s nakhimov

[pearl berry]

When will I be able to get Eldridges retrofit item

[next escarp]

There a way to grind retrofit blueprint except hard modes in campaign maps and medal shop?

[pearl berry]

I think you get some from cruise missions but I think that's it

[next escarp]

Awww, I can't rush retrofitting. I spent most of my time for CVs

[hushed delta]

guild shop and daily "raids"

[next escarp]

Thanks friend

[pearl berry]

I'm working on retroing random common and rare ships

[next escarp]

I'm prioritizing rare ships as of the moment, they're my best choice in my case

[pearl berry]

You do you. I am out of money and almost out of oil for the first time in years

[hushed delta]

and you can convert blue tier prints into purple

[tulip tinsel]

like 1 year

[pearl berry]

🙁

I just now finally got Eldridge so it's gonna be a while before the retrofit

[midnight flower]

Is there any recommended uboat team composition?

[forest palm]

should be something like 81 + 96 and one of the following 101, 37, 47

[midnight flower]

Which one do you recommend out of the 3? Or do I just use whoever I have rn?

[pearl berry]

That's Funny. I'm already running 81, 47, and 96

[forest palm]

I'm not exactly sub savvy so I'm mostly parroting things from memory, but I believe 101 is the better pick

[pearl berry]

I also I've 110, 37, and 556

[midnight flower]

Hmm okey thanks

[pearl berry]

The only non German sub I have is nautlist

Nautilus*

Only reason I kept her is cuz I have her release skin

[deft hull]

is there a place to see the drop rate of the SSR ships in later chapters?

[forest palm]

no, there is not

[pearl berry]

The wiki probably

[forest palm]

the only one we know the drop rate for is Akagi + Kaga

[pearl berry]

Akaga would be a great event ship. An amalgamation of the two ships

[topaz smelt]

which may or may not be still correct today

[sweet delta]

there is no official drop rate but the empirical data from unknown sources suggest that campaign SRs are 1.5% per sortie. SSR does not exist

[forest palm]

"SSR does not exist" except I pretty sure every other ver uses that rarity

[tulip tinsel]

iirc cn has ssr not sr, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter shit

[pearl berry]

Merica

[forest palm]

ya that's a recent change

[sweet delta]

why stop at akaga?

[tulip tinsel]

akamagi

[pearl berry]

Cuz my knowledge is limited

I have kaga bb

And normal kaga, akagi u, and amagi. But not akagi

[exotic temple]

Should I start on them or wait for somebody else?

Would I just be wasting resources with Boise?

[soft raft]

Elite METAs are all dogshit ass in terms of practical value

[sweet delta]

depends on your ships and whether you need a second fleet

[exotic temple]

I'm good on the second so okay thanks both will hold off

[sweet delta]

actually boise is just bad because she's 95% reliant on equipped guns

[topaz smelt]

you want them all eventually for fleet tech

[exotic temple]

I know Helena is good as is and I could work for her Meta you think?

I see her a lot in exercises

[deft hull]

ty I guess I got insanely carried for bunker hill god bless

[topaz smelt]

you can treat meta ships as completely different entities with no relations to the og ship

[sweet delta]

helena meta is just an average gold CL nowadays, you won't really need her by the time you finish her dossier

[exotic temple]

Prob will be ages until I see a chance to work on a SR Meta right?

Ok

[sweet delta]

you have a chance starting at commander level 60

[exotic temple]

Just be patient then 👍

[pearl berry]

Is u 556 meta worth a damn

[slow fox]

Do we have qualitative updates on Kurumi's survivability?

I've been using her at MLB-1 lvl90, but I haven't been paying attention to her at all.

[sweet delta]

no new news after soloing 15-4 lethal auto at level 100

[topaz smelt]

she sits at 1 hp on the meta fight

[sweet delta]

depends on your subs, she's not the best

[slow fox]

Do you think a 125 Kurumi would be able to do 15-4 mobbing indefinitely?
Or some meta fight (without superheavy burst) indefinitely?

Do I even care for calcing her eHP and not slapping infinity on it?

[sweet delta]

she can do anything easy indefinitely

but wichita meta i dont think so

[slow fox]

My eHP chart is for easy content

[sweet delta]

but how do you define easy content? Anyone with a toolkit can survive indefinitely if the enemy does 🤏 damage

[sweet delta]

15-4 no because of RNG

[slow fox]

14/15-4 mob/boss + arbiter + abyssals + (some metas ig [need to update dist] )

[sweet delta]

but you dont add her after-battle heal anyways unless you will add a row?

[slow fox]

After-battle heals, as well as initial-battle heals, are considered only for mobbing entries. They will be separate a row.

[sweet delta]

556meta doesn't break wolfpack

[pearl berry]

Idk what that means

[forest palm]

U-556 Meta isn't German btw

[sweet delta]

you keep wolfpack

[pearl berry]

What's Wolfpack

[sweet delta]

for you it is this

[grizzled sundial]

Is Lion strictly for light enemy or it is just her gun and i can use Lion for heavy enemy with the appropriate gun ?

[sweet delta]

Lion gun is strictly for light enemy, Lion is meta for almost all enemies

[warm flax]

Hello @slow fox

[pearl berry]

I am sorry I'm stupid I don't understand what you are talking about lol

[warm flax]

A Wolfpack consists of three IB submarines

[slow fox]

Hi! I'm @slow fox, the go-to source for Azur-Lane related queries about modeling shipgirl survivabilities! What can I do for you today!

[sweet delta]

• 3 german submarines = wolfpack
• those 3 happen to be your best submarine fleet for now
• inserting u556 meta into your wolfpack makes it worse

[pearl berry]

O cool

I've never heard of Wolfpack before but dope

[wind hazel]

if you read their skill, you'll find that name there

[pearl berry]

Who actually reads skills

[wind hazel]

not you clearly

[sweet delta]

good players

[slow fox]

-# Hostility in GPH smh 🚨 🚨 🚨

[pearl berry]

Good thing I don't play to be good I play to look at cute girls

[wind hazel]

cool

[keen owl]

Me see meta, me do meta

Let the smarts do the thinking. Let's outsource

[forest palm]

admittedly I've stopped reading skill names and have since been labling them S1, S2, etc

[keen owl]

I only read S1 S2 S3 to mastery with arknights

And Which Module is good

[forest palm]

that's the funny part AK skills have names too

[keen owl]

Yeah they sounds Kinda cool. Like Deztretza

[forest palm]

anyway boiling down a skill name down to something like S1 is quicker than saying a name that you know no one is going to remember

[stark quiver]

i dont read skills at all
i just ask here

[forest palm]

peak EN player

[rapid shard]

Yall read?

[keen owl]

Yeah for example this names

If i Say Shock and Awe M3 do they even recognize it

[stark quiver]

whts that

[keen owl]

Leizi's Skills

Are the UR AA guns expensive to make?

[wind hazel]

kinda

[sweet delta]

only 81 electronics and 9 UR designs per

[forest palm]

electronics being in high demand that is rather costly

[ivory sigil]

The hobby i love the most is enter the gallery section on wiki

Not the skill section lol...

But yeah yesterday i found a ship girl with a greenhair and a whole bible of skill name

[wind hazel]

sounds like raff

[forest palm]

Raff caused so much confusion initially

[topaz smelt]

wasnt datamines partially to blame?

[stark quiver]

i know raffs good and thats about it

[forest palm]

ya, but it didn't help that it was mucho texto

[hollow gust]

whats confusing about her , its just black and white stacks

[wind hazel]

oh yeah? explain it like im 5

[hollow gust]

i remember i was explaining it on update day

[ivory sigil]

Im 3 weeks old in az to see someone with that longasstext skill

[stark quiver]

did u see it in game

[wind hazel]

just to be clear, she is really an anomaly in term of skill text length. nobody else has this much wall of text

[sweet delta]

yet

[woven star]

Just this girl ships little bit complicated. Sometimes more than another

[forest palm]

AL really should make a simplification for skills

[stark quiver]

just run it thru AI and get a tldr

[wind hazel]

lexington II will be like enterprise

[Lexington II]
Skill 1: Lucky 🇱

[stark quiver]

Lucky L sounds like a 10% skill

[forest palm]

now you make me wanna run Raff's shit through GPT lmao

[topaz smelt]

itll find a way to get it wrong like everything AL

[forest palm]

interdasting

[wind hazel]

even the simplified version is still too much

[stark quiver]

surely i can get 54 prints in 1 week rite

[forest palm]

I am mildly impressed by the Overall though

[keen owl]

What the paint for

Is she like Marking the enemy

[forest palm]

S1 line 2 and S2 line 2

[stark quiver]

I’m only missing d30

[keen owl]

Is it Like Hey Sardine ships attack that one painted with black

[rain bobcat]

[keen owl]

Me Missing 100+ Prints

[forest palm]

ya'll so slow

[stark quiver]

i didnt do research at all for a while

[keen owl]

Oh actually just 95 more. I focused on PR ships and Equipment BPs first

[topaz smelt]

flex your meckguns

[rain bobcat]

pr lol

[keen owl]

Only have oneS

[solid robin]

What fleet do yall use for world 13 hard? And the gears? (The planes are fucking me up real hard, Im being humbled)

[sweet delta]

i use musashi aquila zuihou eldridge shiranui sandy

[ivory sigil]

Not anormaly textskill lol

I love to see Ship with anormaly chest size (compare to other ship)

-# (Maybe Kashino was anormal enough)

[keen owl]

Fleet 2 on auto cleared

Others are just swatting Flies Musashi doing DPS

[rain bobcat]

would be more surprised if you specified manual

[solid robin]

Im being blind, who's the 3rd ship in main and vanguard

[keen owl]

Lusty I think

[rain bobcat]

lusty and shimanto

[stark quiver]

does anyone have a 1:1 for 13-1h

[solid robin]

Oh!

[keen owl]

I think im blind too, onlu see main

[rain bobcat]

its gonna end up over oil cap no?

[stark quiver]

i dont mind that

[rain bobcat]

nvm its 60 oil cap

[wind hazel]

i tried it, not consistent

[stark quiver]

what comp

[wind hazel]

saratoga z52

[stark quiver]

indep might be better now

[atomic solstice]

Leveling kurumi worth for w15?

[solid robin]

I'll try 13-1 again later after reset

[wind hazel]

yes probably

[stark quiver]

no, she isnt even good for w15

[atomic solstice]

Fweh

[wind hazel]

but z52 explode randomly, cant find consistency

[solid robin]

What AA guns do yall suggest?

[wind hazel]

so i stopped nnt had better mileage out of it, you should ask him

[stark quiver]

isnt nnt like max everything
and oath

[wind hazel]

you're halfway there

[hollow gust]

Just use Lion and Gouden

[stark quiver]

i dont even have gouden unlocked blud

[wind hazel]

i'll try that when my gouden is 30

[hollow gust]

actual turtle

[wind hazel]

oh yeah? what's your meck gun

[hollow gust]

38/50 for gun 2

[wind hazel]

what a turtle

[stark quiver]

more than me

[wind hazel]

ancient turtle

[stark quiver]

im getting dicked down in pvp

[hollow gust]

now thats a skill issue

[stark quiver]

Pace issue
i never lose

👋

[ivory sigil]

Is the stream on day 15th CN is match via the ingame time? Or it would happen earlier/later?

[sweet delta]

it's according to chinse timezon

[ivory sigil]

What about the as the 17th JP stream? It's 17th due to Ingame timezone?

[sweet delta]

i'd imagine the announced time is in japanese timezon

[ivory sigil]

Ah k

[warm cliff]

should i? or the HE bullets better?

[sweet delta]

the twin 100 is better at equal enhancement but of course is more expensive to enhance

[warm cliff]

alright thanks

[stray crane]

yudachi good ?

[wind hazel]

mediocre by today's standard

[indigo cargo]

what do i do for now

should i war archives

[hollow gust]

you can start with iromblood one

[keen owl]

What is Those Exp 123456?

[hollow gust]

huh

[wind hazel]

combat data packs for PR ship combat data collection, or you can analyze them and turn them into protocore

[keen owl]

So its Protocore fodder. Thanks

[wind hazel]

yes pretty much

[regal crater]

It's crazy I never check this

[exotic temple]

I actually got enough for two of them which ones?

[sweet delta]

they're all horrible for usage in battles, only buy them for tech

[exotic temple]

What is tech again?

[ocean terrace]

where'd you get all that

[soft raft]

Fleet tech bonuses & Tech points

[wind hazel]

bonus stats that ship give when you obtain and get them to lv120

[soft raft]

Years worth of maintance rewards

[rapid summit]

When is stream for EN?

[exotic temple]

Ok

[sweet delta]

When you collect her, fusou meta gives all your max limit broken BB/BCs +2 HP (quite useless).
When you get her to level 120, she gives all MLB BB/BCs +1 RLD (extremely good)

[regal crater]

Exactly

[ocean terrace]

my account's 4 years old and I came back to tens of thousands not hundreds of thousands

[sweet delta]

there's no EN stream anymore this year

[stray crane]

give me sum omg

[rapid summit]

Oh dam

[regal crater]

Well, guess I'll continue farming

[stray crane]

[soft raft]

EN only gets a stream when it's EN Anniv
CN gets one for their own anniv as well
Otherwise it's all JP

[ocean terrace]

CN stream on Monday right, that's the earliest one

[stray crane]

i took 3k oil out from my storage thats everything

[wind hazel]

you have oil in your storage? 😭

[stray crane]

i think its the maintenance compensation

[stark quiver]

I dropped 40k on kotori leveling spree

[regal crater]

I don't play much before DAL. So excess oil goes in there. Heck I don't know this exist until recently. I for sure though there's nothing in there.

[rapid summit]

Oh so is the jp stream soon?

[ocean terrace]

I only played for a couple days when I first got the game and came back recently during the DAL event so I'm not sure
I doubt I used all my storage reserves in a couple of days

[ocean terrace]

CN one is on Monday

[soft raft]

JP Stream is uh
Wendsday morning (for some reason)

CN has one for monday

[ocean terrace]

I wonder if there'll be a difference in what they show or say about the event in either stream

or if it's just a different language lol

[wind hazel]

game content same, the yapping very different

well you might get to see more details on jp stream on the skills, but it's really just descriptions

[ocean terrace]

so I gotta choose between Jap yap and Chinese yap or both

[wind hazel]

in the end it's really just to see how big their boobs are

cn stream is often straight to the point. quick yap.
jp stream is 2hours yapping, 30mins more yapping about the yap, then game content and more yapping for next 1hr

[ocean terrace]

CN is earlier anyway so guess I'll tune in for that, do you happen to know the time it starts?

[ocean terrace]

also I know cats are very very endgame, but just in case is there a tier list for cats or a guide on them?

[stray crane]

i think these 2 are the best

[kind slate]

have we got stream for upcoming urs?

[ocean terrace]

^^^

[kind slate]

thnx

[wind hazel]

check under /cats command

[rapid summit]

Forgot cats existed

[wind hazel]

the tempesta cats are very good until you start going tryhard searching for perfect cats

[ocean terrace]

both Drake and Kidd? Knew drake was really good but didn't hear much about kidd

[hollow gust]

you lied to me mori, Teach was better then purple cats

[ocean terrace]

ah but only kidd and drake are available as of now if I missed tempesta right?

[rapid shard]

Yeah youll have to wait for rerun next year

[stray crane]

waht they mean by perfect ? same cat have diff skills ?

[ocean terrace]

different talents

[stray crane]

yeah i mean talent

well dats annoying

[ocean terrace]

so for example, you want DD cat skill with DD buff talents

[hollow gust]

DD cats🤢

[stray crane]

i need 7 more data to trade independent

[rapid shard]

you really only want cats with mainfleet skill or ones for sub fleet

[ocean terrace]

I just got Justice and got excited okay...

with shiny rainbow Miracle skill
hence why I was curious about cats

[sinful relic]

so how do i make this from threat lethal to threat safe?

[rapid shard]

Main rainbow you want is Flame

[rapid shard]

Repeated clears

[hollow gust]

miracle isnt that good, only flame is good these days for like dps

[sinful relic]

turning it on clearing mode is fine?

[rapid shard]

Yeah once you have i 100% you have to do like 3-5 clears (cant remeber exact amount) to get to safe level

[sinful relic]

got it

[exotic wren]

Between NJ, UvH, Kronk, Shima and I-404 who's prio for MLB? I can have 9 purins right now but am saving 4 for next UR

[rapid shard]

Wait for event. could be a double UR

[stray crane]

so all these are trash ?

[sinful relic]

my sanity would hate me...

[rapid shard]

Also dont use bulins on permant URs. wait for pity dupes

[sinful relic]

is amagi cv considered meta? i gotta know what my wife is frfr

[hollow gust]

antenna and takemaru arent that useful

[stray crane]

whats max lvl for these cats

[ocean terrace]

really?

[hollow gust]

oh oops wrote the wrong cat, the useless one is justice

[ocean terrace]

cos they're vanguard right

[stray crane]

where did u find this

[ocean terrace]

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

I didn't know there was a cat guide either, not that I'll use it anytime soon but nice to know

[rain bobcat]

depends

meta for ijn cv yeah. top meta no because BB better

[stray crane]

this gona take me forever to unlock

[hollow gust]

for heavy ijn cvs are still best...

[rain bobcat]

not really?

[hollow gust]

[rain bobcat]

of course hakuhou has the highest heavy dmg but do you think implac amagi hakuhou can out damage meck+zwei+lion

if you cope shinano and eldridge maybe

[wind hazel]

wha

[hollow gust]

you told me teach was worst then my purple cats

[rain bobcat]

isn't teach like equal to max purple

[wind hazel]

if your purple cat is shit then of course it's better

[hollow gust]

[ocean terrace]

are the game news pings hinting at UR event skins?

[wind hazel]

read the following after that

[hollow gust]

[wind hazel]

how can teach be better than this? explain

less avi, less rld. somehow it's better? what maths is that

[ocean terrace]

Lexington 2 confirmed

[knotty jolt]

[wind hazel]

teach 30 avi, 10 rld, flame. and some acc (lol)
perfect purple 35 avi, 20 rld, flame.

[hollow gust]

my purple cat CVs has like 55 avi

there is no way 35 is perfect cat

[wind hazel]

yea you went avi talents

im chasing rld, you're chasing damage

same shit, purple perfect of any kind is still better than teach

you cant get 20rld with 55 avi lol

unless?

no flame all purple talents? idk if anyone wants that cat

[hollow gust]

[knotty jolt]

Question: for 15-4 would it be best to use the mob fleet for the first two bosses and use your boss fleet for the final boss?

[hollow gust]

MBM is usually more reliable

[knotty jolt]

I did m BB and boss fleet nearly lost entire vanguard but I barely won

[scarlet cosmos]

so im very curious, i love my NJ -- but what makes her a low tier UR?

[hollow gust]

its just a dps diff

[sweet delta]

damage, buff/debuff

[knotty jolt]

First two bosses seemed easy enough for my mob fleet to clear the last one felt the hardest for whatever reason

[sweet delta]

among the lowest damage of rainbow BBs (Vanguard is out of the picture)

[rain bobcat]

mbm is easier because you dont have debuff while fighting any of the bosses

[sweet delta]

and a pretty weak 5% debuff

[hollow gust]

huh??? why are your mob doing 2 bosses in a row

[soft raft]

She has been heavily powercrept by newer UR BBs

[knotty jolt]

Boss did two in a row

[scarlet cosmos]

wait does this make warspite retro with the augment better than her now?

[rain bobcat]

did u read how the debuff works lol

[strange sphinx]

Warspite dmg amp after her UA?

[hollow gust]

the whole point is to change between the two fleets. thats why its called Mob boss Mob and Boss Mob Boss......

[scarlet cosmos]

I know who Oumi is, what does the all 10001 mean? :0

[knotty jolt]

Nope cause this was my first run just assumed it was a perma debuff on that fleet

[onyx flame]

enemy movement path iirc

[knotty jolt]

Anywho now Ik so hopefully future runs will be better as I farm out Houston 2

[scarlet cosmos]

i see, so if the enemy gets into range of her secondary guns then she will outdmg

i guess it's time for me to continue investing into warspite too based on that graphic

[sweet delta]

warspite has no buff/debuff and miss more if boss is moving

[next escarp]

Leander good?

[pearl berry]

Yes a common ship is very good

[forest palm]

Leander isn't worth investing

[next escarp]

Got it, will preserve resources for better ones

[late flame]

-# b-but need more health

[next escarp]

Who's my best choice as of now

[late flame]

for?

[knotty jolt]

Imo kurumi Cleveland and Helena but iffy in Cleveland cause I'm old

Id recommend working on Helena cause of the XP boost will help immensely

[sweet delta]

For what chapter are you on?

And why filter CL only, hull types don't determine ship role

[next escarp]

For 12 and higher, cuz for oil cost, I'm low and wanted to save...

[sweet delta]

3 gray DDs is the same oil cost as 3 rainbow CBs

You should level up Helena and/or Yamai though

[weary edge]

is the teaser teasing new ships and their skins

[next escarp]

Got it, these are the ships which I invested as of the time. Are they good enough, please ignore my triple Cs, they're for grinding Cheshire

[weary edge]

so is it teasing new skins for ships already in the game?

[ivory pawn]

If it's like last year, it's specifically skins. They may be for new ships, they may be for old ships. Last year was a mix of both, I think 1 new and 2 old? Idr.

[late flame]

the 3rd one is practically north carolina's bunny skin

[sweet delta]

Again, WHY are you filtering by Hull type , where are all the CAs

You shouldnt be caring about oil cost, just level up 6 or 12 ships to 120

[next escarp]

I thought I should change to DDs, sorry. don't be mad

[sweet delta]

Vanguard:
Helena Kurumi
Lyme if you have gold guns for her
Filler stuff like portland Laffey Cleveland

Main:
Level up Aquila Owari Unicorn Saratoga Shinano and keep Amagi as filler or Hood as filler if you got augment already

[next escarp]

What is filler?

[sweet delta]

Stuff you have no choice but to use for now

Don't level them too much , you just don't have the gold bulins for the good ships

[next escarp]

I see, thank. Will do my best friend

[stray crane]

amagi is strong

[wind hazel]

not this amagi

[inland storm]

when these enemies spawn, will they only go for your active fleet or can it go for the other ones, as well?

[sweet delta]

Closest fleet

[forest palm]

iirc they go for the nearest fleet

[inland storm]

i see. thx

[forest palm]

so they can go after inactive fleets

[inland storm]

will they retroactively change targets if the closest fleet changes or will it only go for the one that was closest to it when it spawned?

[indigo cargo]

does 3 starring war archive maps do anything

[wind hazel]

yes, it wastes your oil

[inland storm]

lmao

[knotty jolt]

They can change targets

[sweet delta]

They can also trap your active fleet in an infinite movement loop

[inland storm]

huh? how?

[wind hazel]

they just keep moving up and down because of terrain restrictions

[inland storm]

oh, on auto

[wind hazel]

you dont auto?

[forest palm]

I feel like I remember the devs saying something about this not happening as often

auto AI is still dumb enough to get stuck in a hazard tile though

[soft raft]

or repeatedly walk thru one because they just beeline straight to the destination

[drifting patio]

I just started the game

[topaz smelt]

Haven't seen it happen for years

[drifting patio]

What do you mean

[topaz smelt]

The game of tag in opsi

[drifting patio]

Okay

[kind slate]

what’s most efficient way to get 100 affinity

[topaz smelt]

https://giphy.com/gifs/8JDQ2ZsyzbGIp0dnD8

playing the game normally

[drifting patio]

I am damn weak

[onyx flame]

first secretary slot get you to 90 affinity slowly but other than that you gotta use em in battles
there also the affinity items but thats from island planner game mode which is

[kind slate]

aight thnx

[drifting patio]

Are you japanese

[soft raft]

How is that anywhere relevant to this channel 💀

[drifting patio]

Just asking

[kind slate]

yea

[drifting patio]

When have you started playing this game

[kind slate]

um i think like 3 or 4 yrs ago? didn’t play for decent chunks of time but

[drifting patio]

I’m I just wanted to ask how much do you need to play in order to getstrong

[kind slate]

honestly i’m like the last person you should ask ngl. i play so inconsistently that im probs pretty weak for someone who’s been playing for 3+ years

[drifting patio]

Ok, so just need to play everyday to make it worth it

[kind slate]

yea probs. and do events ig

[topaz smelt]

theres not much to the game, you get to the main gameplay loop like a month in

[drifting patio]

Events I don't know if I'm strong enough to play that. I only have 2 UR and 2 SSR ships

[soft raft]

If you grind consistently and often enough, shouldnt take much longer than 2 years or so

[soft raft]

Higher rarity doesnt always mean better, a huge chunk of SSR ships are meh

You also ideally want to have your ships MLB so your URs would be useless as hell for a long while

[drifting patio]

And the gacha stuff, It is easir to pull gacha in this game right

[sweet delta]

many f2p players have reached 100% collection after a few years

[soft raft]

Pretty easy yeah
You're guarenteed to get at least 168 cubes (enough for 84 pulls) per month from guarneteed sources

[drifting patio]

84 pulls per mounts is insane

[soft raft]

UR Pity is also at 400 cubes (200 pulls) but doesnt transfer to other UR banners

[drifting patio]

The other game I play is really hard to do gacha unless if you pay

[drifting patio]

But most of the UR banners are pretty strong right like the current one

[soft raft]

This game mainly gets away with such high gacha income becase the skins are the real money makers, not yankin up the powercreep to convince people to pull

[topaz smelt]

the games been fill tilt on powercreep for years now

[sweet delta]

they yank up the powercreep anyways

[drifting patio]

Powercreep?

[soft raft]

There have been a couple of misses but yes URs are always worth going for

[soft raft]

New thing is better than older thing yadda yadda

[late flame]

sir this is a gacha, of course there is powecreep lol

[soft raft]

lol

[wind hazel]

oh yeah? then why isn't there unicorn II?

checkmate

[topaz smelt]

wait til next week

[late flame]

in before next UR beats unicorn

[soft raft]

Unicorn Retrofit Retrofit

[drifting patio]

There has to be a powercreep right?

[late flame]

-# or yuni augment

[drifting patio]

I just want ships from Iron blood

I’m begging this game

[soft raft]

Unfortunately many of them are pretty bad outside of UR/DR

[drifting patio]

I don’t care, I love German navy

[soft raft]

Their best healer is event locked rn lol

[strange sphinx]

Real powercreep will be buffed Enty

[topaz smelt]

that applies to most ship in the game

[strange sphinx]

sigh, where's my 100% chance to proc Lucky E

[drifting patio]

I live for my favorite characters, I don’t care if there weak

[strange sphinx]

also, The judgment for YK meta? Is she good?

[topaz smelt]

not rainbow

[strange sphinx]

Ic

[wind hazel]

she gives 1 rld, very good

[onyx flame]

york 1.5

[soft raft]

Lore accurate

[strange sphinx]

[true zenith]

how many (gold) resources should i expect from opsci each month?
i get a small amount from clearing maps, and some more from shops. am i missing any?
are purple resources relevant?

[sweet delta]

you're missing daily missions and special zone maps

[true zenith]

thanks

[strange sphinx]

we still don't have auto daily mission in opsi?

[plain saffron]

what's the strats for CM warsprite?

too lazy to open site just tldr it

[pseudo phoenix]

Does using specific allied units (Eagle Union, Royal Navy, any allied faction ship) deal damage taken to Yorktown META?

[plain saffron]

"allied" here refer to our ships and their summons, not the faction

the USS HMS etc is called "Azur Lane"

[pseudo phoenix]

I see I see

[eternal moth]

I wonder if Momo would make a good addition to the fleet then

[calm notch]

not sure if this is the place to ask, but does anybody have a list of everything that was in the date a live collab event shop? The wiki page for it doesnt seem to be up to date

[onyx flame]

the pinned should have the dal collab shop in the sheets

[soft raft]

Huh I wonder why

Yeah it should be in the datamine

But ngl there isn't really much that's different than normal

[onyx flame]

its basically the normal stuff but 2 event auxes

[calm notch]

what were the 2 event auxes?

[calm notch]

thanks the datamine sheet is also...pretty blank lol

[onyx flame]

did you change to the sheet to the event shop?

[calm notch]

is what I see but it doesnt tell me what the aux equipment was

it seems like I did buy the important ones though so my questions are answered. Thanks

[stark quiver]

what on earth happened here

[late flame]

slacking

[rapid summit]

Uhh got a question As long as you don’t kill a boss on hard mode you can keep doing it right?

[fair lance]

For campaign? Yes, it doesn't count as your 3 for the day if you don't kill the boss.

[fierce walrus]

Do average and easy level mob fleets drop purple ships?

[rapid summit]

Does that mean I can retreat and keep killing all the enemies I want without it going down?

[fair lance]

Correct as long as you don't kill the boss you can retreat and enter as many times as you want for the 3 stars

[rapid summit]

Oh ty

[fair lance]

Are you talking about the escorts as in not the boss of the map? Most of the time yes they can drop purples and below.

[fierce walrus]

Yes I am, the escort fleets with 1 and 2 triangles

Alright, thanks

[golden moth]

Guys is the new event will come next week

[valid forge]

what i should start making in gear lab?

[solid robin]

Whats the best AA rn?

[fair lance]

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

[fair lance]

Eagle union twin 76mm.

[sinful relic]

heya is this how im meant to train other ships to level 100+? i cleared 11-1 and its now safe.

[rain bobcat]

you replace anywhere from 2-3 ships and do stuff until you get their level 100+

[weak elk]

other ships? just put them in dorms or use exp sheets

[sinful relic]

hmm

[sinful relic]

uhh half the people in this channel told me NOT to use exp sheets after level 70.

[weak elk]

yeah cuz u dont get much return after that pt, plus u can max limit break a ship which should make em funtional enough to go on battles

[sinful relic]

yeah my two teams are all MLB, kinda just grinding. missing two ships to use for 2nd team but honestly it should be fine imo ill prob fill those two slots when the UR event happens in a few days.

[weak elk]

Uh.....

Good? Bad?

[onyx flame]

fighter and aa are bad

[drifting patio]

I want Bismarck

[tulip tinsel]

which

[drifting patio]

Umm it doesn’t matter

[tulip tinsel]

2 should be perma added in a year or two, the normal is in bb medal shop, permanent heavy pool

[drifting patio]

Can I get both

[tulip tinsel]

bis2 u cant rn

[sinful relic]

is there any early iron blood ships i can use?

[wind hazel]

main fleet not many. vanguard a few selections

[sinful relic]

i wouldnt mind a vanguard, would like to use one. mainly to get roon while im just grinding everything.

for exp

[wind hazel]

z23 z1 hipper etc should drop a lot from campaign grind

maybe not hipper, i forgot where

[sinful relic]

oh! i have those girls.

[wind hazel]

there's also the 3 common trio CL

[fair lance]

Guild for hipper

[late flame]

-# they really suck though

[sinful relic]

i did get this girl but idk if shes any good.

[wind hazel]

that's hipper muse, not recommended

[sinful relic]

so should i build z23?

[fair lance]

no admiral hipper is from guild

[wind hazel]

up to you, they are just fodders for roon exp

[wind hazel]

...

which part does it say guild there

[sinful relic]

do 2nd fleets get exp when not used or just main fleet?

[wind hazel]

fleets not used wont get exp

[fair lance]

exchange part for guild?

[sinful relic]

noted noted

[wind hazel]

why dont you check in game and see for yourself lol im blind

actually you're right, im blind LOL

i also blame wiki for not writing the note like other ships

other ships are like this, if they are available from guild. other than the icon

[fair lance]

Yeah that's true.

[sinful relic]

do i need to MLB z23?

[wind hazel]

well if you dont mlb, they will die often

[sinful relic]

she only needs to be tanky yes
?

[late flame]

She is far from tanky lol

[wind hazel]

they just need to survive

[sinful relic]

gotcha

[fair lance]

I'd suggest limit breaking almost all ships you're gonna use, every ship besides URs and metas can't be leveled to 120 if you don't

[wind hazel]

graf z1 z23 are fine for 12-1, maybe you can use unicorn to carry

[sinful relic]

im only at 11-2, i finally just made 11-1 safe for exp grinding.

[wind hazel]

if you're not commander level locked, push to 12-1

[sinful relic]

well my 2nd team isnt ready

[wind hazel]

then i suggest you to forget about Roon

[sinful relic]

im getting there but they need to be leveled.

and im kind lacking in decent gear still.

[wind hazel]

more reasons to forget about roon grind

[sinful relic]

should i just push opsi for now then?

[wind hazel]

get 2 stable fleets for campaign, push to 12-1, then think about PR grind

[sinful relic]

im still in the campaign for opsi

[wind hazel]

what are your two fleets?

show pic

[sinful relic]

one second. i had a thread where people picked out both teams for me.

[rapid summit]

Using San Diego retrofit rn should I use a cl gun or a dd gun because I believe she can use them

[onyx flame]

dd gun

any cl that cna use a dd gun should unless they got some skill reqs

[rapid summit]

Any dd gun that fits her? I don’t got any ur dd gun tho

[ivory sigil]

we didnt get the girl yet but get their clothes in #game-news ???

[onyx flame]

i mean you can just follow this guide just make sure to read the disclaimer
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

[tulip tinsel]

prob their skins maybe or upcoming new ones

[rapid summit]

Should I use all my action point boxes or save them just in case?

[wind hazel]

use them when required

[rapid summit]

Okk ty

[wind hazel]

you have natural AP regen so use your AP accordingly, don't overcap

[barren cedar]

Bismarck zwei is absurdily good as a DPS? Is she rerunning anytime soon?

[forest palm]

no, not for a long while

[wind hazel]

no more rerun, archive next year

[forest palm]

wiki having a stroke

[valid forge]

is there a guide for meowficers?

[tulip tinsel]

/cats

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

MEOWFFICER QUICK GUIDE

What are Meowfficers?
They are companions that you can add up to 2 per fleet (including sub fleets). They buff your fleets with their "skills" and "talents". There are 27 different types of them.

How do I get them?
You get them by opening Cat Boxes in the Cattery. The Cattery can be found under HQ > Cat Lodge. The first Cat Box you buy everyday is free. You can buy up to 14 more per day, with each costing 1500 Gold. It is strongly recommended you do NOT binge on them!

How do I level them?
Just like ships, they gain experience when sortied. They do not cost oil, however their exp gain is dependent on the oil spent by the fleet. They max out at level 30. You can also level them by feeding other meowfficers to them, at about 30% exp loss (20% bonus if identical). Additionally they can gain levels passively through Comf-Forts.

What are talents?
Talents buff a specific ship type or faction. They get 1-3 permanent talents, depending on rarity.. Every 5 levels they gain, they get a Cat Paw which can be used to roll new talents or raise the level of some talents. You can reroll any new talents once every 24h with gold (increases with number of talents).

What are skills?
Skills are unique to each type of Meowfficer. They usually give some stat buff or some perk to the fleet. They get 1 skill initially, and they can get up to 3 skills, each obtained by feeding duplicates (1 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd). The potency of the skills is dependent on their stats which increase through levels.
Do note that the skill stat buffs are mostly inferior to talent stat buffs.

Visit the AL Wiki Page on Meowfficers for more details.
Cat Guide by Riceist#3504 for detailed explanation of skills and talents.

[analog tendon]

is there a way to disable or at least reduce the amount of times a certain voiceline is said during battle?
Some girls have the horrible combination of a skill triggering often AND the related voiceline being annoying

[tulip tinsel]

turn down the volume to 0

[paper inlet]

👋

[scenic mesa]

Which one has good drops?

[violet grail]

Manjuu manufactory gives some furniture if you need any. Other than that its mostly just skins, tiny bit of coins, retro blueprints that sorta thing, doesnt really matter in what order you do em.

[barren cedar]

Is any of those better for owari??

For general use

[knotty jolt]

Both technically are.

Flandre and champ gun are generally identical

[barren cedar]

Ty

[onyx flame]

only switch if your fighting med/heavy armor bosses and/or in chp 13+

if not 406mk6 is still better for general stuff

[tulip tinsel]

wait what armor enemies are in 12-4

[knotty jolt]

Medium

[onyx flame]

the bosse? everything but 12-2 is med

[knotty jolt]

Still would wanna +10 them for other stuff

[upbeat wagon]

is it possible to make a BB shoot slower, my musashi shoots a bit before helena debuff

[barren cedar]

So the two 5 star guns are better for grinding 12-1, 12-4 right?

[upbeat wagon]

How much is bb volley travel time on avg

[tulip tinsel]

slower gun

[onyx flame]

nah mobbing you still would want 406mk6

[knotty jolt]

You can make Helena proc sooner Instead and in turn actually make musashi fire faster to coincidence with Helena's faster proc time

[analog tendon]

Does the exp gained by a ship in the Dorm count for the 2M exp Combat Data mission to build PR ships?

[onyx flame]

champy/flandre is more of a bossing gun, or mobbing ig for chp13+ if you dont have 457

[upbeat wagon]

Problem is other bb's in fleet shoot slower

Could make those faster too i presume

[barren cedar]

What is a 1:1 fleet orna 3:3 fleet? Looking at a guide and I don't get that

[upbeat wagon]

1:1 fleet 1 vanguard 1 main ship, to save oil on easy stages that dont have oil cap

3:3 fleet is a full fleet

[barren cedar]

Ty again

[uneven cave]

what's the reason 95k shouldn't be used with hull

[barren cedar]

And so for last, for farming exp for research and for fleet technology , I should use at least 1 of those ships in main and in front line right?

[upbeat wagon]

ideally on all slots

[barren cedar]

Ok , and the best stage to do that is 12-1? I might not be able to complete it with all slots for exp

[onyx flame]

you shouldnt be using 1:1 unless your trying to low cost event
chp 12 alr has oil cap

[upbeat wagon]

they should be fine if mlb, if not could farm in 11 a bit before getting to 12

[barren cedar]

Thank you again :)

[next escarp]

When do we expect Bismarck UR rerun?

Did it happen already?

[onyx flame]

it alr reran, you have to wait for her to get added to perma

[next escarp]

Where do you play Azurlane friend?

[next escarp]

Noooooooooooooooooooo

[onyx flame]

it prob be sometime next year for biscuit 2

[next escarp]

How about the UR KMS DD, I forgot her name...

[onyx flame]

that one is like 2027

[next escarp]

If that's the case, how long will it take to fully limit break Mecklenburg?

Is there like an estimation, my research was focused on 8

[onyx flame]

like 4 months avg? i dont rmb the exact estimate

[next escarp]

Best way to play Azurlane on PC, except bluestack? (i don't trust this one, this may be the cause of losing my original account)

[onyx flame]

mumu been nice so far

[next escarp]

Thanks friend

[onyx flame]

i think its cause type 95 kai isnt magnetic and is fast so hull brings sub closer which increase chance of missing

[next escarp]

Someone worth it on Meta shop?

[robust onyx]

Honestly besides for tech stats they are nothing worth using

[knotty jolt]

Atleast they don't take up dock space and you can't use those crystals for anything else besides this stuff

[next escarp]

This disappointments me

[knotty jolt]

imo get hunter meta cause of blood borne jokes

[next escarp]

Why call Meta when technically useless?

[knotty jolt]

Cause it's a different acryonym

[mint fable]

Because META here stands for something else

Not that "Most Effective Tactics Available"

[analog tendon]

Ever heard the argument "Waifu over Meta"? This way you can have both (at least in name )

[next escarp]

Little bit of humor, don't be mad

[tulip tinsel]

bcs it refers to metamorphosis

[frigid linden]

Is this a good gun for anchorage?

[onyx flame]

ehhh it a good gun but i wouldnt really make it and anchorage doesnt really need a good gun per say since her dmg isnt great

[sick kettle]

for shimanto do i use dps or reload torps?

[undone plover]

If u need the defense which is usually the reason u run her then fast torps usually better

[topaz smelt]

it more depends on the fleet and what youre fighting

youre effectively trying to time it to burn procs, spamming it as fast as you can is kinda pointless since more often than not it wont do much

[odd canyon]

Anyone able to help me move my account to another device? I got a new phone and I'm trying to transfer my good file over and the game won't let me. Thanks

[inland shoal]

Wdym transfer your good file? You should just log in with your bind

[weary gust]

You just download the game from the appstore on your new device and login with your account.

[cobalt rapids]

Targeting range

[uneven cave]

what, it has a minimum targeting range?

[cobalt rapids]

Firing/targeting range is bigger than bidders and g7e

[uneven cave]

it's still not homing right

[stone sluice]

Make EU CVs great again!

[marsh frost]

Relatively new to the game here. Are their any guides on best practices or easy ways to gear up shipgurls without doing it manually

An optimise button would be great

[cobalt rapids]

The only easy way is to learn the gears

[topaz smelt]

no this is a game where you switch gears depending on content

[cobalt rapids]

https://suchiguma.github.io/inserts/miniguides/quick-gear-cb-guns.html

My link is cursed

[onyx flame]

just the image 🔥

[marsh frost]

Rip

[onyx flame]

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

[cobalt rapids]

Thanks

[rapid summit]

If I buy ply gun could it reset at the end of the month so I can buy it again later on? Or do I have to actually go into research

[stone sluice]

The latter

[onyx flame]

or just wait for it to come to gearlab

[mint fable]

Those UR gear prints in the Proto shop are just once

[rapid summit]

Aw dam

Does it take a year or two for a shipgirl to get added to banners after her rerun?

[viscid swift]

9 months is the average currently

[rapid summit]

So Yorktown II is getting added really soon then

[viscid swift]

Next update, the Jp patch notes said as much

[rapid summit]

Where can I find the jp notes please?

[viscid swift]

Just search up al JP news should be the first link in Japanesee that comes up

[storm marlin]

How does the META Showdown work? The progress I made yesterday was reset (Got Repulse META, tho.)

[robust onyx]

It's a battle to kill the boss

Depending on the support you might not even have to fight it for yourself, but you can, plus you can support 3x a day someone else

The fight timer is roughly 1 day, and you don't gain anything from it if it doesn't die

You can challenge your own Meta boss however many times as you need to kill it

[austere jewel]

Do special aa from gear and skills count towards the average range of the fleet?

[robust onyx]

Range?

[austere jewel]

Yeah like the 38 range on the type 5 cl gun, or shimanto’s skill

[robust onyx]

Unless a skill specifies that it overwrite the range no

[tulip tinsel]

the average of the fleets aa gun range

[austere jewel]

Range on shimanto’s skill is apparently 30 on the wiki, so I was wondering if that was messing with my overall range

[topaz smelt]

30s average if any thing

[austere jewel]

So yes it affects the range?

[tulip tinsel]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/images/equip_misc/AA_Range_Chart.jpeg

[austere jewel]

Because right now I like have 3 sextuple bofors

[forest palm]

dinosaur of a guide

[tidal dust]

if im not worried about timing right now should i be using the gold fire contol on musashi or should i just be using the black shell?

[scenic mesa]

Is there an OPSI farming guide?

[austere jewel]

Well I do know how average works, im just wondering if skills and the type 5 also affect that, which im assuming is a yes

[forest palm]

no, not really

[tulip tinsel]

you farm what you need 🤷‍♂️

[forest palm]

Ops has no real dedicated loot source, it favors loot density, spam C3/C5, what else...

[tidal dust]

not sure how up to date it is but https://azurlaneecgc.com/farming/#farming_opsi

[viscid swift]

a little sneak peak of something I'm working on

[hollow gust]

pictures where?

[viscid swift]

they'll get added once everything is done being written

[topaz smelt]

tldr if it looks like it should be clicked, click it

[exotic temple]

What ships should I use data packs on?

[storm marlin]

Oh wait, nevermind. I still have my progress

[scenic mesa]

Thanks frens

[scenic mesa]

Much appreciated

[exotic temple]

Also should I start decorating or just wait to unlock the next floor then decorate?

[viscid swift]

the latter

[exotic temple]

Okay will wait and okay will see after the event what ships I want to use the data packs on thanks

[onyx flame]

decorating really only affects exp gain form dorm food so 2nd floor is nicer cause morale gains

[viscid swift]

also gonna leave this here for yoru to read as well

[exotic temple]

Crazy never thought of getting a common to lv 100

[onyx flame]

you might someday

[exotic temple]

People have said rares are good to keep around how much truth is there to that.

[rapid shard]

Is that 6-10 counting merit reward variance?

[exotic temple]

There were apparently a few rares that were really good later on.

[viscid swift]

yes

[exotic temple]

But this was all said a long time ago on an old account.

[viscid swift]

that still remains true for fleet tech and by the fact gold bullins are still a time gated resource and

[topaz smelt]

so this meta fight might just be throw kursk at it

[viscid swift]

what has been said here

[late flame]

Kursk eh

[topaz smelt]

i think her subs give perma stacks

[viscid swift]

can she live consistently though

[topaz smelt]

no

she dies like 20s before end and i still kill with bbs

[tidal dust]

ill probably need to for fleet tech purposes

[topaz smelt]

and traf dies too

[late flame]

Vanguard pressure seems high

[topaz smelt]

its a bit, im running z52 and she lives fine

thing is kursk doesnt need to live

[olive geyser]

who's a good flagship for w14 mobbing?

[topaz smelt]

either that or kurumi just sucks in testing

[viscid swift]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit?gid=803392514#gid=803392514
sort by W14 mobbing and look only at BBs

[topaz smelt]

heres my meta fleets if anyone cares, im prob done with all testing until they fix kursk

[atomic abyss]

"From your testing"
Ah yes, I do wonder how you're testing on level 15 when its only Sunday...

We've said it before, and we've said it again

Staff is willing to turn a blindeye to stuff like datamines
Not information illegitimately obtained from modifying the game

[proper violet]

Should I get independence?

[atomic abyss]

Yes
You shouldnt be using NJ as she is without all her stars

[proper violet]

Bet

I have hood and her item, could use her instead of NJ but is hood better than independence?

[atomic abyss]

Independence is a carrier

If hood is already levelled, then yes you can use her for the time being

otherwise you can make owari flag and raise independence slowly thru the daily grind

[proper violet]

Ye thinking that might be it

[scenic mesa]

Anyone know when Owari is gonna come back?

[soft raft]

Bruh am I just stuck with Champy gun
I somehow dont have Raff gun???

[undone plover]

her event reran
she will become perma when unzen event archives
around Sep next year I would expect

[soft raft]

You just missed her rerun like 2 months ago (Unzen event)
You will have to wait for her to get archived

[scenic mesa]

Gotcha

[undone plover]

meck gun is still better than champy
double check your depot
sad if u missed that gun

[soft raft]

I've triple checked it
I would've remembered the popup if I scrapped it by accident so I guess I really did just fuckin forgor 💀

[atomic abyss]

that's raff buddy

[polar venture]

Do we know when the new ur is coming?

[inland shoal]

Next Thursday

[soft raft]

stream for it is tomorrow for CN, the day of maint for JP

[undone plover]

tomorrow strimm
check out the recap or watch it for more info

[inland shoal]

Inb4 CN stream is just merch and info only comes with JP stream

[soft raft]

We're also on lvl 8 of YkM now right
Pretty sure I missed a day

[atomic abyss]

yes

[gilded carbon]

what is currently the best Gun for Z52?

one of the barrage-guns with >1sec fire-rate?

[ivory pawn]

Well, it's technically 1s> fire rate, but minor detail.

[gilded carbon]

ah, mybad.

and thanks

[untold sierra]

Guys, how can I earn Iron Blood Tech points?

[ivory pawn]

Obtain, MLB, and/or 120 Iron Blood ships.

The War Archive Divergent Chessboard is a good spot to farm for a bunch of IB ship drops.

[untold sierra]

It's stuck here, I've done so much searching.

[eternal basalt]

Yeah, forget her for the time being

[untold sierra]

Is it only by ship?

[ivory pawn]

Only by ships.

[untold sierra]

Do I need to focus on a specific area on the map? Are there any tactics or map locations, like 9-4 for example?

[ivory pawn]

War Archives > Divergent Chessboard > D4

Skip A and B, clear C to unlock D.

[untold sierra]

My ships aren't at the level of those in D4; can they be D1 or C levels? Also, how long does that method take?

[ivory pawn]

Can do D1 or D2, would not bother touching C other than the minimal to unlock D. Drops are mostly RNG so hard to say, but should theoretically get everyone of note in 60 runs or less. I did not.

[viscid swift]

this includes grinding tech points

[untold sierra]

So you're saying don't do it, it's a pointless thing right now?

[ivory pawn]

If you're not at w9 yet, I'd say there's some value in farming the D stages. Early oil cap is nice.

[viscid swift]

I'm saying to do it right now would be hindrance to your progress and an overall net negative for your account

[soft raft]

If they can even get there considering that D stage is hard ver of B

[ivory pawn]

But that's only if you're commander level locked. If you can push campaign do that instead.

[untold sierra]

I'm at 9-1.

[viscid swift]

then forget about grinding tech at this poin
