gameplay-help

[viscid swift]

What

[forest palm]

nah that's just the style more or less for USS ships, kind of futuristic

[wind hazel]

no gear was shown right?

[ocean terrace]

so just a random theme they have for some USS ships

[forest palm]

don't think so

[viscid swift]

Lexington 2 wasn't even shown on stream

[forest palm]

she was tweeted out

[tropic tusk]

wait so total 3 UR ?

[wind hazel]

lmao you're right i didnt even realize that

[viscid swift]

Well battleships are mostly named after states

[eternal moth]

I don't know if I'm mad or impressed that they chose one of the biggest memes of WW2 to be the UR

[hollow gust]

CN livestream is such a mess lmao

[viscid swift]

Kearsarge is an anomaly with some interesting history behind it

[ocean terrace]

no I'm referring to the ships' designs

you know how Kearsage and Kansas have that same style of design

[viscid swift]

Yes but not in the steam itself which is very very odd to say the least

[eternal moth]

I think they'll do an actual unveiling for the next livestream

[viscid swift]

Oh I've learned long ago to forget any pretense of consistency with AL

[tropic tusk]

i see the jp one is in 2 days

[forest palm]

AL does have design consistency with each faction though...

[viscid swift]

Yeah, when the patch notes will be out

[eternal moth]

Do we even know all 5 ships? Lexy, Willie D, Pasadena, Clevebro,

[viscid swift]

No

We literally only know of those 4 plus Maury retro for some reason

[forest palm]

like USS ships either stick to naval outfits, or futuristic wear

[warped hazel]

who is next permanent UR to get on UR exhange?

[rapid shard]

Yorktown 2

[viscid swift]

Yorktown 2

[soft raft]

York2

[eternal basalt]

Thursday too btw

[wind hazel]

RKO OUTTA NOWHERE

[strange sphinx]

RKO?

[viscid swift]

Huh

[warped hazel]

i see th

[ivory sigil]

UR exchange is the normal pity 400?

[eternal moth]

Event pity != normal pity

[ocean terrace]

event pity = 200 pulls, separate

[soft raft]

same pity amount
but event and normal pity are sepreate

[fast frigate]

is guam and laffey rerun next?

[viscid swift]

Most likely

[tropic tusk]

event pity gone after event

[soft raft]

Theoretically yes

[eternal moth]

If there were any questions, there's the confirmation Willie D's a UR

[ocean terrace]

do these ever have meaning behind it

[soft raft]

Nope

[ocean terrace]

also what's the lore behind Willy D, why's everyone making fun of the ship

[eternal moth]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_William_D._Porter_(DD-579) She torpedoed the Iowa with FDR on board for one

[tulip tinsel]

what hull is willy and is she the one in shop?

[ocean terrace]

DD, yes

[soft raft]

DD
and yes in shop

[tulip tinsel]

aight thanks

[eternal moth]

Well, shot a torpedo at* Luckily it missed

[ocean terrace]

the Iowa as in... it's own battleship

[rapid shard]

Most unlucky ship of WW2

[verbal plinth]

Cowpens is a ssr

[eternal moth]

It was supposed to be a war game, but the launcher forgot to remove the primer

[viscid swift]

Now there is

[ocean terrace]

pretty random ship to make a UR

[eternal moth]

Wait, Cowpens? And they made the Willie D the UR over her?

[verbal plinth]

Yes

[soft raft]

Cownpen?

[tulip tinsel]

is there a datamine about the new URs or still too early for that?

[rapid shard]

Light carrier

[soft raft]

Way too early for that
they literally just got announced today

[tulip tinsel]

ok

[verbal plinth]

Other ssr CN didn't show

[ivory pawn]

Usually during maintenance, on Thurs.

[shell willow]

is the event this week?

[forest palm]

That has to be the best "official" nickname ever: The Mighty Moo

[strange sphinx]

Another COW

[rapid shard]

Finally might have a uni powercreep

[forest palm]

it is a CVL...

[rapid shard]

So is uni

[tulip tinsel]

nah kashino better

[ocean terrace]

they literally made her a cow after her name

[wind hazel]

big cow STAND

[ocean terrace]

no way that's her splashart

[tropic tusk]

sadly it is

[ocean terrace]

I love Lexy 2 design though so can't complain

[rain bobcat]

loading screen bar is getting replace by willy dee LMFAO

its her carring a torpedo while running

[forest palm]

it's another Fletcher, so it's basically the same

[ivory sigil]

At first i thought her (Willy D) look was abit similar to Guam, turn out it is just the same craze trait?

[eternal moth]

Don't shoot, we're Republicans!

[rain bobcat]

she can support her assets interesting pose

[eternal moth]

America stronk

[ocean terrace]

how is she supposed to be the same class as Independence lmao

[rain bobcat]

[knotty jolt]

Shit, those are huge.

[sinful relic]

the perfect hat

[scenic mesa]

USS Texas?

[eternal moth]

Cowpens

[soft raft]

Does that look like a battleship to you?

[onyx flame]

the chest is

[covert sierra]

The other UR unit is also In the same banner as Lexington 2?

[tulip tinsel]

shop

[ivory sigil]

that feel when all of us on this channel here are male

I feel like her CVL hull gonna attack on something else instead of enemyship

[forest palm]

probably gonna be Will and Colorado Meta in Shop

[tulip tinsel]

Why is Willy D a meme in WW2

[ivory pawn]

[rain bobcat]

torpedoed the task force flagship iowa containing president, kamikaze didn't even massively hit her but grazed a depthcharge launcher causing it to explode and eventually sink her

[atomic solstice]

best thing to get from protocore after georgia gun is plymouth gun?

[soft raft]

Simply put she was very unlucky

[rapid shard]

If you have tenrai then yes

[rain bobcat]

have you bought tenrai? BB guns?

[rain bobcat]

so are we, getting another dd

4th UR DD still no CL

[viscid swift]

5th actually

Not including Shima or the retros

[atomic solstice]

champ guns and tenrai yes

[zenith heron]

When did Sandy got her Retrofit?

[rain bobcat]

2019 or smth idr

[flint frigate]

Is it worth it to upgrade this up to lvl13?

[zenith heron]

She is like the first to retro right? or that would be Warspite?

[ivory pawn]

You already +12’d it. Fortunately, it is worth using torp plates on.

[tulip tinsel]

was there a gouden skin in stream or no news about her?

[onyx flame]

natta, prob in jp

[hollow gust]

Ofc they saving the naked ship for JP

[tulip tinsel]

wowzers catgirl maid skins

[warm cliff]

is the new ur worth to get? or we don't have enough info abt her

[onyx flame]

we know nothing other than how she looks lol

[knotty jolt]

we are still in the dark on stats

[viscid swift]

What information, there is none besides who they are

[eternal moth]

Yes, she's worth picking up. SHe's a UR, what do you expect? Even knowing nothing, that's enough

[strange vale]

which one worth for exchange wish 400

Nj or shimakaze?

[woven star]

Another UR DD?+

[strange vale]

i dont have both actually

[eternal moth]

Do you have 3 UR BBs?

[strange vale]

wait who 3 UR BB i forget the name

[eternal moth]

If you don't have 3 BB URs then get NJ

[hollow plank]

riding on the other perosn's question, is the current pity rate now , will it carry over to the new UR ship choices upcoming? 😮

and i only have one UR ship, shinano. which one is worth getting after? thew new one or old ones XD

[viscid swift]

No

[kindred arrow]

UR events have their own pity

[tulip tinsel]

event banner ur doesn't count towards permanent pity

[hollow plank]

ohh thnak you!

[strange vale]

tell me who is 3 UR BB?

[alpine musk]

is this thing good

[soft raft]

low priority

[alpine musk]

is there an infographic on what guns are good to prio

[strange vale]

oh i forget i have

warspite retro,uvh,musashi that BB i have

[viscid swift]

Is Musashi max limit broken

[soft raft]

Any 3 UR BBs

[alpine musk]

oh looks like theres tag commands for them

[strange vale]

ah vanguard i got too

but i didnt build her yet not enough bullin specialist

plus i have issue gear

[wind hazel]

Is Musashi max limit broken

[rapid shard]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/#introduction Here is the magic fix for gear issues

[strange vale]

i dont see laffey is UR

[viscid swift]

Sigh

Laffey 2 is a UR and event limited, normal Laffey is not

[soft raft]

If you mean in the screenshot I sent, that's because she isnt a Battleship in the first place

[wind hazel]

Is Musashi max limit broken

[strange vale]

need break limit her 3x again

[rain bobcat]

-#

[viscid swift]

So get a Musashi dupe for limit breaking then

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide

You also might wanna give this a read

[strange vale]

im trying

[wind hazel]

wow new stuff

[viscid swift]

Operation Siren guide coming soon maybe

[soft raft]

Big if true

[viscid swift]

Well I'm the one writing it

[wind hazel]

gl with that one, lots of stuff to explain

[undone plover]

yeah I remember starting on one then giving up quite early

[scenic mesa]

[undone plover]

it was especially annoying to explain first time clear vs repeat clears after

[scenic mesa]

Yey OPSi guide soon

[undone plover]

now cheeky has to finish it

[viscid swift]

It's already like 6 pages long at size 11 font

[undone plover]

[viscid swift]

I've also decided to just forgo trying to make a detailed sync guide for this

Because fuck that

[fast frigate]

anyone know what this bar thingy is on the left?

[knotty jolt]

I could not write a comprehensive guide to save the life of me, my autism would make it so unreadable.

[undone plover]

Well I can share my WiP one

[rapid shard]

/concealment

[knotty jolt]

concealment

[fast frigate]

what does it do

[silk helm]

is there a section on c1 spam

[plain saffron]

/detection

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Detection Level:
If the gauge hasn't been filled, your carriers gains "hidden buff", which is 10% flat AA resistance reduction to enemies (basically they deal more dmg) and they can't be chosen as a valid target (enemies BB won't attack your CV when hidden).
If the gauge has been filled, there will be an exclamation mark (!) displayed to the side of the gauge, and your carriers lose the "hidden buff". They will regain the buff when the gauge level falls below the red line.
The gauge will be slowly filled if spotted by the enemy (both planes and ships) if they crossed the detection line, when they are burning, and when launching an airstrike.

Well even if i were to do one it would be it's own separate thing

Yes

When is the next UR event?

[wind hazel]

in 3 days

[robust onyx]

Next update most likely

[silk helm]

will cvs be relevant again?

[robust onyx]

Not likely

[wind hazel]

maybe

watch as lexington 2 has 10 butterfly summons

[robust onyx]

Watch as Lexington 2 is only effective against light armor targets

[wind hazel]

lexII is your mother

[sinful relic]

how do i raise my coin cap?

[wind hazel]

increase commander level

uh, you can also buy from guild tech

[turbid marsh]

i wouldn't mind having lex2 being my mother

[sinful relic]

noted

works out, went from 12k to 50k from trying to level my ships XD

[forest palm]

that is soft cap, and nothing stops you from going over, you will likey earn more than your passive income could compare to

[sinful relic]

OH okay

[muted wind]

soft cap only stops you from claiming coins from the merchant

[wind hazel]

as a relatively new player i still recommend to increase your coin cap to the max. you'll use a lot of coin on daily basis, being able to claim your canteen coin is good and healthy for you

[drifting patio]

What’s a good way to earn with out spending money

I want to buy outfits and all

[bold haven]

Is she strong? I just got her

[robust onyx]

Against light armor

But not at 0 development level

[bold haven]

So its need 50 or 100 to be usefull?

Development lv is expensive asf

[tulip tinsel]

125

[sinful relic]

canteen is maxed till i can get to level 80, ill try maxing the coin storage in guild.

[wind hazel]

it max out at FS5. dev30 before they start to be useable, FS5+augment for full potential

in short, you can forget about using her for at least a month+

[bold haven]

Thanks i think I will use her later
Rn i waitting for the next banner

[viscid swift]

there isn't one

[drifting patio]

Noooooooooo

I’m crying

I must just go and earn then using real money

[atomic solstice]

consumerism my beloved

[white agate]

we got only 1 UR in the incoming update right?

[gray sphinx]

Lexington II and William D. porter. William probably the shop UR

[white agate]

ok, i am blind; i read her as super rare in the news

[drifting patio]

Consumerism?

What’s that I’m bad at English

[undone plover]

Better google it
It is beyond the scope of azure lane gph
tldr is societal emphasis on buying stuff and money

[scenic mesa]

[gilded carbon]

How good is Cheshire still? I can not use any of the PR8-ships in a while, so im stuck at collecting BPs for them. Meanwhile, i could do other ships

[undone plover]

Good AA ship
Pretty much useless otherwise
Check suchi’s tierlist for more details

[gilded carbon]

Noted ^^. Most of the really good PR-ships are already build for some time

[undone plover]

If u just want to level ships
Start farming tech

[gilded carbon]

I suppose it doesnt really Matter, hm? At this rate, just hammering out PR1 would be as useful to me, probably

[atomic solstice]

agir wants fast torps ye?

[analog tendon]

I'm wondering how i currently have more tech points for IB than Sakura as a 2 months old player

[upbeat wagon]

She wants to sync

Is 125'ing enterprise worth?

[rapid shard]

IB ships give double points

[analog tendon]

🤦‍♂️ i completely forgot about that. Ok now it makes sense XD

[gray sphinx]

Depends on your dock

[fiery swan]

why are my sub fleet still at 150 morale even after 9+ campaign clears on autodeploy, they aren't in dorm

[eternal moth]

Are you actually calling them in battle? If not they aren't being used.

[fiery swan]

they've been set to autocall and i do see them appear on field

[eternal moth]

Then I'm not sure

[fiery swan]

also they've grown several levels in that span of farming, surely they wouldn't gain exp if not called

[knotty jolt]

iirc they only lose morale if they sink

[fiery swan]

that's convenient

[brazen lotus]

World 15 loadout prep

[dawn spade]

should i get New Jersey or Mukashi on the UR exchange?

i have a skin for both so i wanna get both at some point. just thinking if there's a chance one of them will disappear from the exchange any time soon

[tulip tinsel]

they won't disappear, musashi if you don't have anyone to lb

[dawn spade]

👍 thanks

[upbeat wagon]

currently using her in opsi and boss fleet campaign alongside implac

Could post pics of my dock

[hollow gust]

When is JP livestream

[wise cairn]

17th

[hollow gust]

17th when

[soft raft]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpxp4izhpsk

[hollow gust]

Thaanks

[gray sphinx]

it's not bad but if you have URs like shinano, amagi CV, hakuhou, or even DR ships like hakuryuu then I don't really see any space for enterprise. At least that's how it is for me

[upbeat wagon]

I dont have any of those atm

Been grinding tech points for hakuryuu

[gray sphinx]

I mean enterprise isn't a bad ship by all means so it wouldn't hurt to 125 her. It's only one ship

[upbeat wagon]

*i have 1lb shinano too

but thats useless

[valid forge]

Any new ships to upgrade?

[gray sphinx]

not really no

just continue grinding and prep for the UR event. get some coins and cores to buy UR bulins to max LB those URs

[valid forge]

Okay

[valid forge]

Should i upgrade saint louise when ill get her?

[soft raft]

she would be doing jack shit if she isnt D30 so eh

[valid forge]

D30?

[soft raft]

Dev 30
the research equivalent of Max limit break

[gray sphinx]

unless she's development 30 you aren't really using her like any research ship out there. Plus like someone mentioned before she's mainly used against light armor so kind of niche ish

gotta obtain the ship and then spend an extra like month or two depending on how much you focus on blueprints for the ship

saint louis is pretty old so her levels are coinable so it's not too bad but normally grinding research ships take quite a bit of time

[viscid swift]

Maryland retrofit(get her from the guild shop) and I guess wait for lexington 2

[valid forge]

Okay, what she does tho?

[viscid swift]

she'll be your BB for your 2nd fleet

if you want more info why
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide

[trail dagger]

wow, new guide page

[uneven knot]

what are your guys thoughts on porter the new UR her stats are looking kinda buns

[woven star]

Why so many Saratoga's copies? Even for retro you'll need only 1. You can retire at least 5 copies for space

[rapid shard]

That stat thing means nothing

[uneven knot]

hopefully she has some insane skills

[stone sluice]

Unless they release a Kronstadt-like UR

[onyx flame]

what stats the data mine isnt even here
(and the circle stat thing is just for show lol)

[eternal moth]

Kron was pretty good on her release IIRC.

[valid forge]

got a lot of them from farming lol

[onyx flame]

retire for medals

[woven star]

Retro for Maury... collection ship. Hm

[bleak junco]

I’m pretty sure the skills and other stuff are more important than that circle grading thing

[woven star]

True. ~~But D Porter looks like debuffer or buffer with her circle ~~

[spark scaffold]

Will f6f have a rerun then? i didn't see any patches

[viscid swift]

Yorktown's event will be archived this patch

[stark quiver]

those who know

[viscid swift]

so you'll be able to farm it from the WA

[stark quiver]

are u gonna

[viscid swift]

what no, I already have 6

[spark scaffold]

I'm hoping it will be a drops on the next event

[stark quiver]

i only have 5

[stark quiver]

most likely not

[spark scaffold]

I mean, she is still on the same class with York II so yeah.. i'm just hoping for it

Or just put it on the monthly shop altogether

[upbeat wagon]

Is there a good war archive event for farming sakura tech points?

Aside from musashi, I have wakatsuki

[eager mulch]

still a chance for UR helena right?

[errant jacinth]

are any of the URs new? or just reruns?

[undone plover]

Feb May Sep and Dec are new UR events
in between are reruns
and also older UR are archived

for example in 3 days is new UR event with 2 new URs
after that we will have guam and laffey rerun (old URs)
and also next patch at the same time Yorktown II is archived (older UR)

[errant jacinth]

is porter the new UR? or have they not been announced?

[undone plover]

Lexington II and William D. Porter are the new URs yes

u can see the announcements in #game-news

[errant jacinth]

and what do you mean by Yorktown II is being archived?

[woven star]

Check guild shop. This will be cheaper

[undone plover]

her event will be added to war archives
and she will be added to the special perma pool
but u should save cubes for new URs so dont build on perma. Perma pity will slowly go up with time so u can get her with perma pity later

[upbeat wagon]

[obtuse island]

yorktown II is gonna get archived next update too??

[soft raft]

Yuh

[undone plover]

well... idk if it is this week or update after that actually sry.

[obtuse island]

seems like we're getting the whole USS package lol

[undone plover]

was the date announced?

[vale spindle]

Thursday

We have a call to arms active that already gives it away xd

[tulip tinsel]

And a cow

[undone plover]

no i meant ykii archive

[undone plover]

A lot of sakura archive ships are obtainable elsewhere like merit shop and core shop
U could farm the sakura archived events for some drops but it is not as ideal as KMS points since each drop will count for less
I would just wait for other sources until u get enough

[ivory pawn]

In JP or CN patch notes iirc.

[soft raft]

JP

[obtuse island]

is c1 grinding for exp actually relevant? i'm saving oil for the event and i don't know if i should keep grinding there

[ivory sigil]

14 days left for a test in Hardarbeiter
i wanna rush my 2nd fleet for it
in a same time, my coin capped to wait for the UR,
and yet seeing them UR as CL and DD (despite not quite sure about their kits yet),
idk where should i put them in my #1447544444785004545 message team either

I'm quite in a conflicted situation, i need more mainfleet than vanguardfleet, which both UR are.

[stark quiver]

Then just see who has more value when they come out

Which is likely lexi2

[undone plover]

lexi is a CV not CL tho

[ivory sigil]

3 plane bomber?

[undone plover]

not sure what u mean
but she is going to be a carrier like yorktown 2 or enterprise or amagi (CV)
We dont know her skills or loadout yet tho

[hollow gust]

[forest palm]

would be funny to get a UR healer

[knotty jolt]

Raffeleo in the corner:

[forest palm]

she never was a healer

[knotty jolt]

But she can

[forest palm]

again that's not her main purpose, and if you are using her for that you are asking to die

[ocean terrace]

Have there been any updates since CN stream?

[forest palm]

assume not, wait till the JP stream which is in like 30-ish hours

[undone plover]

Cowpens was not teased in the stream but is in #game-news

[ocean terrace]

Oh right. Yay I guess

[valid forge]

Is there a way to disable ships appear on screen upon skill usage?

[cobalt gate]

Wait they showed all the ships before the livestream?

[ivory sigil]

😭 what kind of stat is that ??? despite being a UR ?
I feel like being rickrolled on aprilfools at december in a same time
i hope they dont seriously pull out: the worst UR in the history of their 1st day release

[exotic heart]

Im kinda confused on the call to arms event ive been using enterprise for alot of sorties but the bar didnt go up at all im doing anything wrong?

[ivory sigil]

Only the x2 exp event exist,
the pts event for pfp circle start on 18th DEC after updates

[exotic heart]

ahh so ive been grinding for nothing🥀 thanks for telling me

[low juniper]

What is the name of that one ship everyone's been wanting to be added in the game for so long

[viscid swift]

there was a CN live stream earlier today

[viscid swift]

could you be more specific, that's quite a long list

[low juniper]

If I remember correctly, which I'm not sure I do, I think she might have been a sister to Kashino or something? All I know is that people said she was huge

[low juniper]

Maybe it was something about the largest caliber

[knotty jolt]

The yamato

[low juniper]

YES HER

[knotty jolt]

We got her sister ships of Musashi and Shinano before her

[low juniper]

Oh so they're her sisters?

[knotty jolt]

they're all yamato class ships

[tulip tinsel]

that stat thing is the biggest bs, very misleading

[low juniper]

So what was it about her, was it the largest battleship or smth?

[viscid swift]

largest battleship ever built and carried the biggest guns ever mounted on a battleship

[knotty jolt]

iirc she could fit the definition of a dreadnaught but im pretty sure she was considered a super battleship correct me of im wrong im trying to recite from memory shit

[low juniper]

Ahh

Does that mean that if she were to ever be added, she'd have a larger rack than Kashino

[viscid swift]

Dreadnought is a sub type of battleship that ended well before the fast battleship era

[tired grotto]

I nearly finished my first team what should I use as a second team

[viscid swift]

a lack of gold bullins is what's really gonna hamper you

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide
I'd reccomend you give that a read among other things

[tired grotto]

I don't worry about that I just don't know what are the good characters I should up

[viscid swift]

I mean you should worry considering that

you're gonna have to bulk out your fleet with purples and retros

what have you got to work with in that front

[sweet delta]

I don't think they care about progressing that quickly or the amount of time needed to get gold bulins

Considering the account age and levels

[tired grotto]

Yeah I mostly play when a new unit I like is out

I don't try hard at all I just want to know what I should up to do a 2nd team to clear without losing in story

[viscid swift]

I mean I wouldn't consider this much try harding

among other things using lower rarity ships could be the difference of literally months of waiting for no reason beacuse there a number of decent elites

and just the fact W12 is broken as a farming spot and you wanna get there asap

[abstract ore]

What ship should i use for mob and boss fleet for chapter 14

[viscid swift]

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

[tired grotto]

I will try to go there ASAP

[viscid swift]

could you post your elites then

[tired grotto]

These are my elites

[viscid swift]

well this makes things a tad tricky, Bismarck Zwei, and Enterprise will be the 2 main fleets you level to go with Oumi

vanguards will have to be the Yamai sisters(hope you grabbd their unique augment), and Asama I guess

[tired grotto]

I didn't got their augment cause I didn't liked the event at the start 💀

[low juniper]

Are the DaL collab ships strong

[ocean terrace]

the vanguards are some of the best SR units

[low juniper]

Oh really

What about the mains

[ocean terrace]

main fleet is alright, Origami is about Enterprise level

nothing special though

[wary saffron]

Quick question how long will musashi stay on the banner

[ocean terrace]

she's permanent

any of the URs in pity exchange are permanently in the pool

[forest palm]

Ships shown on the perm banner are not on rate up

[low juniper]

So that would be Tohka, Kurumi and the Yamais right

[soft raft]

No off topic images here fyi

[wary saffron]

Puts a smile on my face

[gritty spear]

Since the topic of Musashi has already come up, I will ask: Did they really "release" this ship without a "legendary" 460 mm gun or I don't know about something? Let it be a laboratory, where it would take several months (or however long) to acquire it, but as long as it was there. Unless, of course, they have some ambitious plans for this weapon that we don't know about (to be more specific, a certain ship and event). It's not really a priority for me, but I'm just asking out of curiosity.

[soft raft]

She did come with a triple 460 in her event as a shop item but it takes a while for event gear to be added to permanent sources

The gun is very niche anyways due to its long ass reload time

[ocean terrace]

Should I always have food stocked up in dorm? Or only when I need to level new ships

slowly running low on food

[gritty spear]

Ah, alright. I thought they would add them together. Never mind, then. Well, the calibre determines the reload. Maybe it has a powerful kick, but there's also a chance that it doesn't (in that case, "sad face" I guess).

[sweet delta]

I have 6 dorm slots and couldn't spend all my food. I buy from medal and guild shop only

[novel solstice]

I find that there are plenty of food sources to always have my dorm food running, but I'm the sort of player that is usually getting the food from event shops and guild shop etc.

[sweet delta]

I fill it once or twice a day so there is some downtime

Dorm exp is so slow that for new ships you actually care about, you'd just use exp packs. So do spend your food whenever you remember

[ocean terrace]

would it not be better to buy BPs before food in medal shop though?

[sweet delta]

For new players sure the season 7 bps would be useful for ships, but I don't need my 69th confetti gun from protocore shop

[ocean terrace]

the maintenance for the UR event will only be an hour?

or 6 hours as usual

[rain bobcat]

8

[ocean terrace]

is that for all UR events?

[rain bobcat]

every single event is 8hr

[forest palm]

most major content updates are 8 hrs

[ocean terrace]

ah so normal maint is 6

[rain bobcat]

only essentially non existant event is 6

[vale spindle]

maint usually 8 hours (normal size event) or 6 hours (no event but minor new content added like augments or whatever)

[viscid swift]

that's assuming of course there's no extension

[ocean terrace]

can you buy skins for ships you don't own?

[viscid swift]

yes

[ocean terrace]

guess I'm getting Mecky skin

[sweet delta]

When someone buys a skin for a Collab ship but doesn't get the ship:

[ocean terrace]

I was seriously considering DAL skins but I'd rather get it for UR/DRs

[stark quiver]

i get all

correction: i get more than cheeky

[ivory sigil]

CAN I BUY COLLAB SKIN IN FUTURE? LIKE SOMESORT OF VERYVERY NICHE SKINEVENT?

[eager mulch]

[clear harbor]

I did something similar. I bought a cruise pass for Hatsuzuki confusing her with Felix Schultz. Thankfully the Uzen event reran not too long afterward.

[viscid swift]

not unless the collab reruns

[next escarp]

UR aux gear can only obtain through event right?

[undone plover]

well UR torp is in core shop
Z flag also but it is a meme
if u mean the UR table for BB it should be added to some shop in the future but we dont know for sure

[viscid swift]

as in next year at the absolute earliest

[next escarp]

Thanks for giving me the slightest hope

[undone plover]

i have 1 only I also want more

[next escarp]

[viscid swift]

newbs

[stark quiver]

it wasnt announced?

[viscid swift]

no as in they explicitly said in previous patch notes nothing would be added to the core data shop this month

[stark quiver]

[next escarp]

War archives good for grinding purple parts? , if not where. Except the higher W maps

[sinful socket]

Faction fleet ❌
Essex Fleet ✅

[wind hazel]

Essex fleet ❎
Essex feet ✅

[sinful socket]

[viscid swift]

just grind as you would normally

[sweet delta]

What about December gear lab update with Royal Navy aux tab

[viscid swift]

50/50 chance they forgot the Gear Lab Update

[next escarp]

It takes forever to max out my gears

UR gear is pain

[ocean terrace]

oh no my steak is too juicy, lobster too buttery

[next escarp]

[brittle minnow]

Any chance to reset the 2 star hard mode?

[sweet delta]

If you mean how to do the second star, then
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/#clearing-maps-hard-mode

Turn off clearing mode

[brittle minnow]

its already been cleared

[viscid swift]

yeah read the rewards bit of the hard node section closely

[ivory sigil]

Noway the fomo too strong but they refuse to let more gems spending

I thought there would be scared event that allow everyone to buy 1 limited skin in the past that include all the collab

[wind hazel]

non dark mode

[ivory sigil]

Is that a breakfast or dinner

[soft raft]

There is black friday which reruns all (non collab) skins that released prior to a cutoff date

[brittle minnow]

I will try

[meager path]

how do ik all the fleet position from vanguard and main?

[wind hazel]

use this to filter main fleet vs vanguard

[viscid swift]

you might also wanna give this a read
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide

[next escarp]

Ngl, some people max their dups as flex. I am offended, give it to me instead

[wind hazel]

hi offended

[next escarp]

[next escarp]

Reading sushiguma's guide on mobile phone is annoying, it scrolls back. I'm switching to my laptop

[viscid swift]

yeah.....
sorry about that

[sweet delta]

What's scrolling back

[cobalt rampart]

ive yet to buy anything from this shop, the guide recs the shells and independence, would independence be better for now? these are my current cvs. the bb ive primarily been using has been hood. I think the shells might be meant more for bossing bbs?

[sweet delta]

Shells are for all BBs

Only buy Independence if you're about to have enough carrier retrofit bps to max her at once

[ivory sigil]

Me too

Should i buy independence for my fleet too?
Was she mobfleet or bossfleet

[shut quartz]

Personally I prioritised shipgirls over gear. No regrets, but I've been playing for years and only just finished chapter 13 😂

[viscid swift]

I mean so did I but I cannot say in hind sight it was a particularly wise choice

[wind hazel]

Only buy Independence if you're about to have enough carrier retrofit bps to max her at once

[ocean terrace]

when calculating how many retroprints are needed, how do I add this up?

[wind hazel]

you use lars db, it tells you everything needed

[ocean terrace]

oh could you link that

[stark quiver]

yeah

[wind hazel]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/ships/id/377?retrofit=true&skin=107229

scroll down to bottom, full list including coin plates etc

[ocean terrace]

tyty

[cobalt rampart]

I do have enoguh to retrofit I think

[viscid swift]

just for future reference btw, each / indicates a seperate node/instance

[ocean terrace]

so 1 / 2x means 1 print then 2 prints for 1 complete node

[rain bobcat]

yeah

[ocean terrace]

holy shit sandy is EXPENSIVE to retro

[forest palm]

ya

it's worse when you put the cost of her UE on top of it

[ivory sigil]

-# i havent able to retrofit my sandy

[ocean terrace]

I have it fortunately, crafted it to complete a mission

[forest palm]

this is why we still avoid recommending Warspite Retro

[shut quartz]

The jump to UR is always expensive 🥲

[forest palm]

cause Warspite needs the Retro and UE to be good, and only gains performance equal to NJ

[ocean terrace]

this convinces me more to spend all my pulls on 1st day for Lexy 2

then I can focus on retrofitting Independence and Sandy

[viscid swift]

still have 0 idea what the event pool is gonna be

[forest palm]

modified Special?

[viscid swift]

probably but it's only 5 ships this time around

Porter will be shop as per ususal
Lexy 2 Gacha
CleveMETA probably Gacha/Shop
Cowpens probably gacha
Pasadena is the only Elite we know of so there's either gonna be no new Milestone ship this time or it's gonna be just a 2 ship banner

[ivory sigil]

Good luck bro on hardarbeiter

[ocean terrace]

just to make sure, I only need to pull for Lexy II and potentially insane SRs right?
as well as farming event stage for Willy D

[viscid swift]

pretty much

[ivory sigil]

Hope Willy is tanky enough
Or else she goes basement with me

[viscid swift]

huh

[forest palm]

[wind hazel]

brain rot gph moment

[ocean terrace]

I mean she's a UR DD, she'll fit in my team somehow

[shut quartz]

Based on past ones I'm guessing the new UR DD will be a store purchase with event secondary currency while Cleave META will also be there for event primary currency but also drop in the last stage

[ivory sigil]

DD arent that high HP (imo)

[ocean terrace]

Eldridge retro, Laffey II tanky asf (not due to HP tho)

it's less about actual HP more about eHP

[sweet delta]

I am of the same opinion

[forest palm]

this is just feeding the wrong person...

[ocean terrace]

don't you use DDs such as LaffeyII and Eldridge as main tanks? or off-tank

[wind hazel]

it's a fact that most destroyers have among the lowest hp in the game. but that doesn't tell anything much

[sweet delta]

It's not really an opinion but straight fax

[ocean terrace]

oh you're referring to the HP stat purely lol

[wind hazel]

Felix has more hp than Laffey II, doesn't mean jack shit

[ocean terrace]

I mean if we're going off just base stats, Willy D might be Elite level or worse lol, doesn't tell us much

[ivory sigil]

-# (it is also self explained my question about why most littleloli ship are having DD as hull)

Flandre being the BB exception

[wind hazel]

because the devs are lolicons

[ocean terrace]

I think we have some of those in this chat...

[ivory sigil]

it is common to find people putting the 6 Little version in the exercise defense fleet tho

It's not about strength, It is about an announcement 🗣️

[shut quartz]

Yeah, that's just a fun theme team

[wind hazel]

burn the little children with the lion flame

[stark quiver]

lion flame is old meta

[shut quartz]

Personally, my defense team is all muse variants

[wind hazel]

thank you for not using meta cringe def

[ivory sigil]

Man i wish i play AZ earlier i would have made my defense fleet as bluehaired as possible

[shut quartz]

I don't much care about the pvp side, but the meta fleets are so boring

[wild sinew]

wait

auto fleet now can take more ammo from port?

[ivory sigil]

Hmm Yuudachi META 🔥 burning your opponent alive

[stark quiver]

yeah

[ivory sigil]

Wait what port?

[abstract tiger]

the port that gives ammo on the map

[ivory pawn]

Yes, yes it can.

[ivory sigil]

Yeah chapter9 with oilcaps and also autopickup ammo & crate

[jolly star]

what i do if my battle just frozes?

[sweet delta]

Restart the game, and use a different emulator like mumu if you were using ldplayer

[jolly star]

oh, ty

[rain bobcat]

ld player the freezing king

[rapid summit]

I’m using enterprise and this isn’t going up, is it supposed to be for next update?

[forest palm]

as the date says there it's for the next update

[rapid summit]

Okk ty

[ivory sigil]

. i was hoping flandre was strong compare meck
but she would be coinable soon so

[viscid swift]

bleh, Cs

[forest palm]

[ocean terrace]

how do you queue research and what does it do?

[ivory sigil]

i'm not willing to keeping the coin, but i will keep the gas in turn of needed

[forest palm]

it's as the name implies you pick a research an que it, and it's banked into the que and the game will proceed through the que

[ocean terrace]

how do I do it cos I've looked for it before but couldn't find the option to

[forest palm]

you should see an orange button press it

[ocean terrace]

also you're only able to queue research that shows up with the others right?

[ivory pawn]

After you start a research, you'll see the Queue button pop up where the start button was.

[ivory sigil]

It's appear after u press confirm button
queue button light up when u complete the request/ but disable if the queue list is max 5

[viscid swift]

6 not 5

[ocean terrace]

right but can you change the research available after starting research?

[ivory sigil]

yeah 6th is the one that can't be put in queue list but still workable if 5 other had complete

[ivory pawn]

As long as you haven't queued it, yes.

[forest palm]

once you que a project it randomizes the options

[ivory pawn]

Once it's queued, it's locked in until it's done.

[ocean terrace]

have I been doing something wrong if I've never rerolled for research or queued any

[ivory sigil]

Press terminate to cancel a confirmed research, but not advise if u already spend coin/cube/rigging on it

[north gorge]

You’ve been missing out on uptime by not queueing

[ivory pawn]

Means your research uptime was probably terrible. The reroll is only once a day so it's whatever.

Technically you probably lost out on a better research once or twice, but if you weren't queueing research you'd have barely noticed a difference.

[ocean terrace]

so should I queue any research? or only good ones

if they're all mediocre I should just queue whichever one for other options right

[ivory sigil]

@ocean terrace i will make it easy to understand
u do see people said that 30 mins research is good right?

example if you were playing AZ all day, with 5 research of 30 mins, the total wait is only 3 hours for 6 research completed

what if u were a business man that only able to login once per day
you would prefer a 4 hours / 8 hours / 12 hours one

like if u had like 6 of 12 hours one, your research list can be as long as u had a 1 week summer vacation/ honeymoon with prinz eugen cosplayer probably? So yeah, i not saying 30 mins research is totally best, it is all depend on which one suit u the most

[hollow gust]

[forest palm]

[ivory pawn]

Always queue.
If they're all mediocre, refresh. Otherwise ideally choose the fastest unless it costs cubes.

[viscid swift]

what

[ivory sigil]

i saying in casual perspective... not hardcore

[hollow gust]

what the fuck is that reasoning

[forest palm]

then don't give advice?

[hollow gust]

ill rather have a gap in research then take a shitter and longer research

[viscid swift]

you always queue researches simple as, it reduces the downtime between researches to near nothing if you log in every few hours

[ivory pawn]

From a casual perspective, you can easily queue enough research to last from login to login thanks to the queue. If you're worried about it, hopefully you can find a few 4hr Riggings > Grants.

[stark quiver]

i rarely do researches

[ivory sigil]

it is not everyone having a same f2p perspective as mine, i know 30 mins is best to get but also same as the resource that u spent, it is nearly cube+coin

so for some reason u just happen to join the game recent and wanna keep the cube, people had said to me to stick with basic research/rigging

If i wasnt that dedicate i would act the same as @stark quiver i skip the whole research thing

[ivory pawn]

You rarely see 30m, so it balances out. But yes, if you're low on cubes especially now I would prefer to skip it.

[ocean terrace]

well I've been living on the game for a week or so, so I don't think I've missed out on too much research

[viscid swift]

mate I was free to play up until about a year ago and I've only bought a few skin since

[ivory pawn]

Also 30m Rigging doesn't cost cubes.

[stark quiver]

Dul does

im also f2p and i do 30 mins p

[hollow gust]

30 minutes so good that advocating to skip it just cause you didnt wanna have research gap is kinda stupid, especially when just 1 can make up 90% pf your daily gain

[ivory sigil]

i did skip a gouden 30min recently due to how it cost 5 cube... despite i really like gouden

[hollow gust]

[ivory pawn]

Your loss.

[ocean terrace]

oh I've only been doing cheap G and Q really, should I not be doing that?

[hollow gust]

giving out shit advice....

[ivory pawn]

That's great, keep doing that.

[stark quiver]

tbf not doing a 30 min wont make or break anything

[ivory sigil]

okay okay im poor and miserable okay, i will say different stuff when i have enough

btw give me advice on this 3

[wise cairn]

I just realized I can get this ur gun here for dd but is it worth?

[hollow gust]

That's a very easy G-412

[ivory sigil]

1st one is doing chapter
2nd is 1k5 coin
3rd free

[hollow gust]

The other two are just shit

[stark quiver]

grant donation

[viscid swift]

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

[ivory sigil]

but 1k5 sometime dont drop a bps

[forest palm]

we do have a research tier list in one of the bot commands...

[hollow gust]

So? It's a hour 30...

[ocean terrace]

I know but I feel like it's not completely skewed for new players + I rarely see the 'good' ones

[viscid swift]

it isn't

[ocean terrace]

so I just do the cheapest G or Q, with the occasional Meck or Gouden

[hollow gust]

the only thing you would ignore is cube

[viscid swift]

and it's kind of inaccurate anyway

[ivory sigil]

so it 1k5 coin for 1h30 to gacha a bps

instead of 4h/8h for an actual 1-2 bps

[ocean terrace]

but I need coinsss for a lot of other things

[forest palm]

Ds, Gs, Qs, an things with a UL tagged on it kind of simple

[sweet delta]

as if 8 hour free gives any BPs consistently

[hollow gust]

its 1hr30 to reset mission and chance for UR print and you look for 2hr30 UR.....

[ocean terrace]

I never do the free ones tho, only 1.5k/3k coins and gear parts
or Meck/Gouden face

[viscid swift]

when are those bot commands gonna be updated

[sweet delta]

When someone submits feedback to ender perhaps

[hollow gust]

thats good, then you pick the occasional 30 minute that show up, thats the most effiecent way to do things other then cubing

[ocean terrace]

got it, tyyy

[hollow gust]

taking data collection and basic is just stupid

[ocean terrace]

yeah I was told to avoid them from the getgo, though not knowing about queueing research has stunted me probably

[ivory sigil]

i got roasted like a bulin

[sweet delta]

You pick basic if youre broke and have an empty queue

But that's a last resort

[ivory sigil]

finally a message that hit my heart

[ocean terrace]

lol no worries, that's why I ask a load of questions here so I avoid doing stupid stuff
also how many Meck prints you got?

[ivory sigil]

15. exclude the 32 selector

[stark quiver]

?

[ivory sigil]

exclude the 3 reserach i havent claim above

[forest palm]

that is some terrible progress...

[ocean terrace]

oh.

I looked at mine and it's similar lmao

[hollow gust]

15 should be like 3 days of progress

[forest palm]

well, you didn't understand what research queuing was, this is a different case

[stark quiver]

15 is like 1-2 days lol

[knotty jolt]

i've just finished s8 personally. gouden was my last

[stark quiver]

shit research choices

[knotty jolt]

And I'd say i'm rather slow compared to others here

[hollow gust]

That's why you don't pick the cheap and slow shit

[ivory sigil]

please i need 5000 coin to raise my child gear/lvl (6 SR at once) pls donate

[viscid swift]

well, a lot of us had the luxury of only seeing PR8 face researches and being able to maintain a full queue, they do not

[stark quiver]

i remember when i was on like a constant 5k coin reserve and i had to halt researches

[hollow gust]

It's literally the 3 parts of a triangle, if you want cheap it's either gonna be slow or shit

[ocean terrace]

at least I have 275k coins, that's why I get to spam the coin researches

[stark quiver]

more than me

[smoky citrus]

Just reached 12-4, I hear that AA can clear it. Will this set up work for mobbing/ pr reserach? I'm curetnly grinding sandy and eldrige rn

[ocean terrace]

it'll all be gone on the 1st day of Lexy II

first hour probably

[hollow gust]

How are you gonna mob with no healer and 2BBs

[knotty jolt]

first off limit break your ships further

[stark quiver]

same, im pulling event and probably perma

[ivory sigil]

cuz i only reach Opsi and Chapter 9 like... 1 week ago

before that time, my coin was never above 10k

[viscid swift]

Eldridge might die but probably, use AA radars if planes are an issue and get the map down to safe

[smoky citrus]

I was thinking that I would kill them faster than they could damage me

[hollow gust]

[sweet delta]

You don't work on PR using shit fleets when your clearing maps for the first time

[verbal plinth]

did they say yk2 will be perm this event also? or am i misremembering

[hollow gust]

Who doing fast damage, cause it's def not that backline

[verbal plinth]

ty boss

[viscid swift]

also max limit break everyone

[smoky citrus]

I already cleared it. This the best I have in terms of main IB ships and AA ships

[ocean terrace]

you got to 12-4 with that fleet?

[stark quiver]

they are farming stuff

[ocean terrace]

ah, faction tech/research exp, got it

[sweet delta]

You'll need higher level ships and probably go back to 12-1

[smoky citrus]

no this is what I use currently

[onyx flame]

Backline will prob die ngl only 1 way to find out lol

[ivory sigil]

why not try lower chapter? 11-1 was having much exp tho

[smoky citrus]

got it thanks

[sweet delta]

@viscid swift send it

[ocean terrace]

cos W12 is best for farming coins/exp

[smoky citrus]

I mean I could try farming 8-4 for nachi and maya, but I'm saving oil for next event

[ivory sigil]

but for difficult wise i think for a decent lvl ship, u can try lower chapter for easier survival chance

[smoky citrus]

ok

[ivory sigil]

the coin/exp web? yea i had read. @ocean terrace did gave it to me #gameplay-help message

[viscid swift]

sent what

[smoky citrus]

I thought I had something for the Pr fleet earleier though

[viscid swift]

do you want me to write a section purely glazing Chapter 12?

[sweet delta]

12-1 is the minimum we recommend for someone who has access to 12-1

[onyx flame]

Fleet fine but 12-4 might be too hard just go to 12-1

[smoky citrus]

Phew, thanks

I want to get agi as fast as possible. I want them CB's

[ivory sigil]

due to LVL lock, i can't reach it, spaming 11-1 is the only option for EXP
I have 8k oil but i want to use them during the event for maximize UR speed

[ocean terrace]

'for someone who has access to 12-1'

[sweet delta]

But nobody asked about your progres

[ivory sigil]

but.......................

If we they die, they still gain exp tho?

so techcally win win right?

[viscid swift]

only for the battle they died in

[ivory sigil]

so keep them alive during mobfleet until boss then

[ocean terrace]

you don't really want to be farming exp if you don't have access to W12 though

[onyx flame]

i mean if your farming fleet cant survive 12-4 just move to 12-1 and grind there for a bit first

[ivory sigil]

it really said here in 11-1

[sweet delta]

What is your point

[ocean terrace]

isn't the exp here referring to ship exp? not commander level

[ivory sigil]

I was assume the EXP they are talking about is the commander EXP so i spam it

also the coin was greener than chapter 10

[viscid swift]

also before people get excited here's the system by which you get vouchers for the shop UR

there will be 2 copies, one that costs 200 vouchers and one that costs 300

[stark quiver]

argument lane

[forest palm]

11-1 is a pain in the ass to raise low end ships

[sweet delta]

What are people excited about?

[ocean terrace]

copies of Willy D right?

[zenith heron]

||I got an argument here last time, and they were right about 11-1 vs 12+, with 12 being better||

[viscid swift]

yes

[ivory sigil]

they are different and worsen than Date A Lane event ????

[sweet delta]

Yeah you can get two willies

[viscid swift]

what

[ocean terrace]

DAL wasn't the standard event format

this one is

[ivory sigil]

enlighten me bro

[ivory sigil]

so...... how should i spam my 12k oil

i know 11-1 is geniuenly stupid to spam

how about i spam it in SP Polaris / unison for item??????????

[zenith heron]

This is common for UR Events with Side UR Ships commended with, Starting with Guam and Laffey 2's Event

[ocean terrace]

you know how event progress in DAL was a result of your server's total progress, that's not how it's usually done

[viscid swift]

you can start an event with 0 oil and still get everything

but day one of the event is just to rush to clear D3 and SP

after that it's just spam D3 for most players to get event points

[ocean terrace]

farm coins in the highest stage you can, you'll need it

[viscid swift]

I am not one of those people

[ocean terrace]

how hard is it usually to clear event stages?
compared to campaign

[stark quiver]

like piss easy

[viscid swift]

D3 enemies are level 105

[ocean terrace]

so I can just 1 fleet through the whole thing?

[stark quiver]

can you?

[sweet delta]

I 1:1

[fair lance]

or 1:1

[viscid swift]

but you have to contend with hull type and stat requirements like in campaign hard mode

[ocean terrace]

oh right at what point is there an oil cap

[onyx flame]

D1-3

[fair lance]

Usually D maps

[viscid swift]

D1-D3

[ocean terrace]

so prior to that, you'd want to 1:1

[fair lance]

Even during you need to 100% clear it to get oil cap

[viscid swift]

well, oil caps don't unlock until after you 100% clear the stage

[ocean terrace]

1:1 fleet can consist of uni + my best vanguard and I'll be fine right?

[stark quiver]

Do you have good gear

[viscid swift]

maybe, mayne not

[ocean terrace]

meh, purple stuff from qgg at +6 to +10

[stark quiver]

Have fun

[onyx flame]

well if its the new hardmode style you can just 1:1 do A1-3, B1-2 then on the last node click hard mode to change it to D3 and then clear it normally

[ocean terrace]

if I can't 1:1 it, what's better to do, add more vanguards or main fleet?

oh right, C and D are hard modes of A and B

do you have to clear C at all then?

[onyx flame]

yea honestly i wouldnt sweat it about lowcosting D3 if thats even possibly, just use it a as a time to grind low lvl ships up

[onyx flame]

if its the new hard mode style which it prob is nope

[ivory pawn]

C3 usually has a mission reward, but can skip C1-2.

[ocean terrace]

I mean I'll probably ask again when the time comes, nice to know though ty

[onyx flame]

well techncially yes but you can just run the normal modes to unlock all of em then swap it to hard mode to grind

[ocean terrace]

normal mode as in A and B

clear A1-3, B1-3, skip C1-2, do C3, then do D1-3, farm D3

[onyx flame]

ehhh not quite they basically meld normal and hard mode together into 1 map so it isnt like older event where you click hard and you gotta redo the map again

instead its a bit like dal where when you select the mission you can choose normal or hard

[ocean terrace]

oh I see, no coalition mode right?

[onyx flame]

nah normal 2 fleet stuff

[ocean terrace]

does this sound about right?

[onyx flame]

you can just do A1-3, B1-2 then for B3 swap it to hard and it becomes D3 and then do that

[ocean terrace]

don't even need to do D1-2 and B3

[onyx flame]

cause its melded together B1/D1 are on the same node and clearing either will unlock the next

[ocean terrace]

but you need to clear A to be able to do B/D right?

[onyx flame]

yea either A/C so might as well 1:1 the easier one

[ocean terrace]

got it, tyyy

oh and 1:1 is usually uni + tank/dps vanguard correct?

[onyx flame]

for the hard ones yea, easier one is olb ranger + 0lb cassin/downes cant rmb which

[ocean terrace]

would my gear be enough tho lol

and they'd need to be levelled too I assume

[onyx flame]

i mean you can easily 1:1 A1-3 and B1-2 just run a normal fleet for 100% D3

[ivory sigil]

thanks for cube i need it

wait 2 cube for 42 is 30% discount is still way expense, how bad the price for gem to cube normally??

[cobalt robin]

bad

[viscid swift]

not cheap enough considering how many cubes you can get

[zenith heron]

pls don't purchase it

[cobalt robin]

For 2 gems I would purchase it

[onyx flame]

i wouldnt buy it even it it cost 1 gem

[cobalt robin]

I got gems from commission today so I'm feeling generous

[ocean terrace]

is there an ideal dock space you aim for? or you infinitely spend it on dock space

[stray crane]

did they reveal the skills for those new ships ?

[onyx flame]

i expand once the damn pop up starts appearing really rn im just chilling at 600ish

[cobalt robin]

I'd say 600 is a good spot but the more the better especially if you collect ships

[viscid swift]

Right now for me it's 850

[ocean terrace]

so let's say I get to 600, is it ever fine to spend gems on skins from then on lol

[onyx flame]

as an f2p?

[cobalt robin]

Buy skins with 💳

[ocean terrace]

right but what else is there to spend it on if I don't need the dock space

[onyx flame]

more dock space cause god knows you need it

[cobalt robin]

Best value with f2p gems is always dock space

[ivory sigil]

200 gems for 10 dockspot ???? the audacity is this???

[eternal moth]

I had 820 and still needed to buy more because I was running low

[cobalt robin]

Assuming you already have dorm 3rd slot and 2nd floor

[ocean terrace]

got it, guess the 💳 is coming out this week then

[viscid swift]

More dorm slots

[ocean terrace]

I have 4 slots unfortunately

[eternal moth]

Having more isn't a problem if you're buying gems. I never regretted going with all 6, but for F2P it isn't needed.

[onyx flame]

all 6 slots is nice, i can have 1 mob fleet and 6 ships just eating away for exp

[ivory sigil]

so in order to reach 600 i need extra 450dock space by spend 200gems x45 times = 9000 gems ?????????

[viscid swift]

Sounds about right

[ocean terrace]

I'd honestly have spent money if there were extremely worthy/valuable purchases, but it seems there aren't any (other than maybe lvl 70 pack)

[cobalt robin]

You're not very far into campaign I'm assuming

[viscid swift]

There really isn't any good value resource pack

[stray crane]

get the pass

[viscid swift]

Meh

[ocean terrace]

doesn't seem worth it

[viscid swift]

Cruise pass is mainly for the skin

[onyx flame]

cruise pass only if you really like the skin imo

[eternal moth]

Keep in mind, I've been playing for almost 5 years. I didn't buy them all at once

[stray crane]

u get a UR bulin and other stuff

[ocean terrace]

you get one regardless no?

[cobalt robin]

Ur bullin is free tho

[onyx flame]

the ur bulin is from the free side lol

[viscid swift]

Ur bullins is in the free track

[ocean terrace]

lmfao

[stray crane]

and the medals and stuff

[viscid swift]

Just over 5 years for me now

[onyx flame]

paid ur bulin is kinda

[cobalt robin]

Cruise pass is worth if you like the skin

[viscid swift]

God I feel old

[cobalt robin]

i was about to abbreviate cruise pass

[stray crane]

and the license

[eternal moth]

License is a great value

[ocean terrace]

the 30 day one?

[ivory sigil]

9000 gems is like 10+ skin

and az dev release 5-8 skin per event

[viscid swift]

Meh

Only if you're looking to Whale for cubes it's the least worse option

[ocean terrace]

Idk I've looked at all the things you can buy, nothing stood out in terms of value for me

[onyx flame]

it all an akashi scam

[stray crane]

i only buy limited skin for now

[verbal plinth]

gotta keep lights on somehow

[cobalt robin]

We all hate the green scammer cat

[viscid swift]

Like, the real cost per pull is pretty average compared to other gacah games if you whale

[cobalt robin]

I've spent too much on skins

[wind hazel]

double pack gems>trade license>/=cp if you like skin

that's it

[viscid swift]

But the issue is we get so many more free pulls compared to other gachas

[ocean terrace]

he abbreviated it

[cobalt robin]

[ocean terrace]

even the gems, like the gems to oil or coins ratio is so bad

[onyx flame]

i mean it an impatience tax after all

[cobalt robin]

not even whales buy those
I think

[eternal moth]

Major whales buy oil

[wind hazel]

whale buy oil 24/7

[stray crane]

i buy oil for almost 3 weeks now

[viscid swift]

Whales to Whale for oil and cog chips

[ocean terrace]

I like it though since the game isn't too p2w (despite it being a PvE game)

[viscid swift]

Like a certain sea cat I know

[cobalt robin]

I'm a whale for skins only

[whole lichen]

How do u get a lot of gems other than from campaign/hard mode

[wind hazel]

you buy them

[cobalt robin]

beg for gem commissions

[whole lichen]

mhm

seems like is about patience for f2p then

[verbal plinth]

yes like all gacha

[knotty jolt]

We love the green cat

[cobalt robin]

Hell no

[ocean terrace]

are you trying to get skins, it's not recommended to use f2p gems for those

[whole lichen]

No i'm still expanding

[cobalt robin]

i spent my first f2p gems on a skin

[eternal moth]

F2P is a big trade-off when it comes to gems. You really shouldn't be buying skins, but if you do buy them, know that you may not be able to buy dock slots down the line

[ocean terrace]

I spent it on oathing Prinz Eugen iirc

[verbal plinth]

bought 3rd book thing so worthless lol

[cobalt robin]

that was my 2nd skin purchase

[whole lichen]

f2p is about enjoying the default skins of the ship girls

[cobalt robin]

3rd slot is a nice luxury

[cobalt robin]

I consider myself f2p since I only swipe for skins

[ocean terrace]

honestly agree to an extent, I was considering the DAL skins but I really liked the base designs of most of them

[cobalt robin]

i did buy cruise pass once but that was only for the Monty skin ngl

[wind hazel]

i consider myself f2p since i only bought gems

[ivory sigil]

[knotty jolt]

Quick question was the dorm snack capacity 20k, many years ago

[stark quiver]

im at 1000 dock and running out stil

[viscid swift]

Been 40k as long as I can remember

[wind hazel]

shold be way more

[knotty jolt]

Ok just checking cause brain thinks 20k and am calculating the amount of gems I've spent on stupid shit like I've expanded my snacks to 60k

[stark quiver]

is a ring 600 or 300

[eternal moth]

600

[rain bobcat]

600

[stark quiver]

bruh

[cobalt robin]

300 would be heaven

[knotty jolt]

Remembering now, my 60k snacks isn't that bad. Takagi, one of the admins, has 102k snack capacity.

[ocean terrace]

I've just unlocked CM, when should I start worrying about it?

[stark quiver]

can you start worrying about that

[ocean terrace]

that's my question too lol

[stark quiver]

it requires decent/good ships

[ocean terrace]

what does it give?

[stark quiver]

like a chat frame and portrait frame
useless stuff

[ocean terrace]

oh so it's not really something I farm or work towards

[hollow gust]

It's all cosmetics

[onyx flame]

cosmetic stuff for when you talk in chat lol

[stark quiver]

its a side effect if you are active player

[ivory sigil]

wait a minute... Does hardArbeiter differ affect by 1st month participate?idk whether this one is the HardArbeite for December or not

[onyx flame]

its the same

[hollow gust]

Not worth it at all , you spend 10 minutes clearing easy mode for a shitty reward

[zenith heron]

How much Gold can we hold for grinding much gold?

[onyx flame]

600k

[hollow gust]

600k is hard cap

[zenith heron]

Doesn't matter what level you are right?

[strange sphinx]

what's her armor?

[onyx flame]

heavy i think

[stark quiver]

high explosive armor

[ivory sigil]

well i will see if i could chip off 15% - 20% hp or not

but what about the HP, does our HP get restore or we still had heal ourself?

[rain bobcat]

hermit is the easiest arbi

[stark quiver]

all arbiters are hard

[hollow gust]

It's normal mode , it's easy as fuck

It's 8 total tries with 4 fleet , and you can swap gears between fleet every battle

[onyx flame]

oh right what adapts for smacking arbi again

[viscid swift]

Operation Siren Guide coming soon TM

[stark quiver]

gearing is harder than the actual fight

[hollow gust]

203/203/156 for hard mode , it's significantly lower for normal

[strange sphinx]

switching gears is more tedious than fighting Arbiters

[ocean terrace]

orrrr we wait till the end of the month when we have better ships and gear

[onyx flame]

aight time to decimate the normal one

[hollow gust]

Critical thinking , you are a genius

[ivory sigil]

I did normal like over 15+ tries iirc

but is this correct?

[viscid swift]

Arbiter not Hard Arbiter

[zenith heron]

I think Harbiter Strength is hard if I kill after threshold? Always 2 fleet kill it ever since

[stark quiver]

will it include example fleets

[viscid swift]

no

[stark quiver]

i 4 fleet it dont worry

[hollow gust]

Example fleet , your welcome

[stark quiver]

bro

[cobalt robin]

I needed that back then 😔

[stark quiver]

you're

[viscid swift]

not enough oaths or Mecklenburg guns

[hollow gust]

[hollow gust]

Only backline oaths matter anyway

[stark quiver]

i only oath frontline for pvp
pve is feeble

[solar rune]

[cobalt robin]

Bro just shows the best ships as example fleets

[hollow gust]

[solar rune]

No

[zenith heron]

it is still an Example fleet

[ocean terrace]

technically it's the best example fleet

[strange sphinx]

F2p sample fleet when

[cobalt robin]

well no one that needs an opsi guide will be able to recreate those fleets

[ivory sigil]

-# no unicorn

[stark quiver]

examples are not for noobs

[stark quiver]

i need example fleets

[cobalt robin]

You don't

[ocean terrace]

well examples are to show what's recommended to clear it, and that's the best example of what you want

[strange sphinx]

then it is categorized as Invested Example fleets

[stark quiver]

My fleets are pretty bad

[cobalt robin]

Recommended doesn't have to be THE best

[strange sphinx]

[wind hazel]

well no, you're writing a guide aimed at new players. shoving UR as example is what we call dumbass example

[cobalt robin]

Not like you even need the best to clear opsi

[stark quiver]

@viscid swift in a meck fleet, whats the position each ship wants

[ocean terrace]

well if it's for a guide for new players then yeah, I was just pointing that the best fleet would be the best example in general

[viscid swift]

doesn't matter, OpSi is too easy

[cobalt robin]

Agreed

[knotty jolt]

I used factional fleets back in the day and I was fine

[stark quiver]

I want good order

[zenith heron]

Out of topic but for W15-3, Obviously Laffey 2 can tank, but could be hard to manage HP at BB nodes?

[viscid swift]

try and see what happens

[rain bobcat]

doesn't really matter

but for specifics, lion for med light, meck for heavy technically

[stark quiver]

ill go meck flag then

shes still d29 😭

[rain bobcat]

as long as they don't obviously jam each other in ridiculous ways it doesn't matter

[cobalt robin]

Which of the new urs is the gacha ship?

[stark quiver]

lexington prob

[knotty jolt]

Lex2

[cobalt robin]

Did we have the Livestream already?

[viscid swift]

yes but only partial reveals, it's a mess

[ocean terrace]

you don't think twitter revealed all the ships?

[viscid swift]

Porter, Pasenda, Cleveland META, and Maury retro were all revealed during the CN stream

Lexington 2 and Cowpens were revealed via tweats

[viscid swift]

well by my current count we're down one Elite but we're also got a retro when no one was expecting one so I really don't know

[ocean terrace]

surely they didn't tweet every ship except 1

[cobalt robin]

I only got 4 ur bullins

[onyx flame]

They coulda

[viscid swift]

nothing about this announcement as a whole is normal

[ocean terrace]

I'm pretty sure JP/EN moved on their own so they tweet all the ships while CN is doing their own thing

[viscid swift]

what would usually happen is a JP stream would be scheduled today or over the weekend and they'd reveal everything, ships, gear, and all
