[undone plover]

PSA to check this tab every day since this random mission does not show in the daily missions tab

[knotty jolt]

otherwise use a torpedo bomber

[ocean terrace]

so barra

[hardy whale]

like is this any decent

[wind hazel]

if they arent max limit broken, they are shit

[hardy whale]

only my URs are not MLB sadly

[wind hazel]

remove them then

[hardy whale]

i dont really have anyone else

[wind hazel]

everyone have someone else

[hardy whale]

one sec ill get a imgur

[wind hazel]

you might be overlooking some useful lower rarity ships

[balmy skiff]

verdict on Raffaello von Bismarck of Lexington the second?

[west steeple]

who to MLB first, Cleveland META or Cowpens?

[muted wind]

you can't use bulins to limit break metas

[hardy whale]

https://imgur.com/a/Hss3dmO

[west steeple]

oh

[safe nexus]

how do i find the community ship ranking again?

[muted wind]

you can get the crystals to limit break cleveland meta either from the event shop or when you get dupes on B3/D3/gacha

[safe nexus]

ty

[verbal plinth]

What main would be best 1-1 a light boss

[wet wing]

I wont be banned when I asked for Lexi skills after the in game update was done right?

[frozen stag]

Who's good to pair with Lexington 2

[muted wind]

we already had them translated from CN for a while in the pins

[wind hazel]

do you have nelson hidden somewhere

[ocean terrace]

YorkII and Kear/Lion for now

[wet wing]

ah I see thanks

[knotty jolt]

kears and yk2

[fast frigate]

after this is it guam rerun

[hardy whale]

dont have her

[fast frigate]

finally

[wet wing]

what the hell Guam after this? should I skip her?

[balmy skiff]

just how meta is lex2 or should i say...raffaello von bismarck of lexington der zwei compared to hakuhou?

[knotty jolt]

defo no she's really good

[fast frigate]

no shes good

[wet wing]

Im out of cubes :((

[frozen stag]

Well damn I don't got both I only have ijn carriers

[ivory sigil]

I gonna say the D word nvm having willy D is having good D

[ocean terrace]

have you started pulling my boy, if not gogogo

[wind hazel]

do you have BB on your medal shop?

[hardy whale]

1 sec

[ivory sigil]

does this mean we play Hard ? or stick with norm

[wind hazel]

actually nvm, gonna take a lot of bulins either way

[ocean terrace]

farm D3 aka hard B3

[hardy whale]

i have bulins for days just not ur ones

no, no bb in medal

[muted wind]

first normal clear per stage gives 3x points, otherwise farm hard... but you can clear the event on normal to get to the last stage faster

[wet wing]

So Im currently stuck on either getting Lexi 2 or Guam

I shouldnt have become inactive for 3 years

[west steeple]

Musashi or Yorktown II? I'm very close to pity

[hardy whale]

the past cant be changed my boy, only the future

[ivory sigil]

idk if i do 10 every day, i would reach 200 by day 20th which is the final day maybe

But wait if the time till Guam and Laffey2 rerun is too close i think i better skip rigt?

[wind hazel]

just mlb your duke of york for now then,
DoY unicorn ryuhou
portland laffey noshiro

warspite enterprise arkroyal
kurumi kaza emden

[ocean terrace]

I got lucky and got Lex II in 40 pulls, but you ideally want Lex II

[knotty jolt]

iirc it's 1/15 for guam and laffey 2

[hardy whale]

wanna ask like how a MLB SR is better than a non MLB UR, doesnt it just increase stats?

[wet wing]

Is Laffey 2 a shop UR?

[wind hazel]

ships gain other perks when you max limit break them, on top of being able to utilize fleet tech

[wet wing]

so I atleast I can add another good UR for my fleet

[undone plover]

even if guam and laffey are better than the 2 new UR i would still pull new UR first
guam and laffey will archive in 1 year
new URs will rerun in 2 years

[wet wing]

even if I dont get both Guam and Lexi 2?

[hardy whale]

another thing, my gear is kinda ass, what should i grind for decent gear

[knotty dome]

i forget; can i do 5 normal stages and then do D6 hard without C1-D5 hard?

[muted wind]

stats, (all out assault), additional weapon mounts, preloads, extra efficiency. basically, a mlb main fleet ship deals ~3-4x as much damage as its 0lb version

[knotty jolt]

for things like most battleships limit break one gives +1 main gun mount for them and limit break 3 is another. that's like double and triple damage

[hardy whale]

got it

[wind hazel]

most early game gear come from techbox or rookie rewards

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

use this to help gearing your ships

[hardy whale]

im missing more of the top tier stuff

edit: tbh im missing like everything and yes not gold but i mean top tier according to the list

[wind hazel]

gold doesn't mean good

purple doesn't mean bad. and UR isn't always the best

[knotty jolt]

use the things in the last best slot

[wind hazel]

you can use purple gear until w12 perfectly fine

[ivory sigil]

MAN THAT FRICKING LUCKY

meanwhile me: #trophy-room message

[hardy whale]

dont worry big man it comes around, this was my first time getting a UR first pull

i replied to the wrong thing nvm

[ocean terrace]

nicee you got her in 20 crazy stuff

[muted wind]

2 cleves in the same 10 pull is hilarious

[wet wing]

even without new URs I can clear opsiren stronghold still yes?

[kindred arrow]

Oh absolutely

[knotty jolt]

Strongholds aren't that hard

[rapid shard]

You can clear with all purples long as they are geared decently

[wind hazel]

~_~ i mean havent you been clearing them before this???

[knotty jolt]

you always have the option to leave and go to a port for repairs and renter

[zenith heron]

this a Decent Dive bomber guys?

[wet wing]

I sometimes get rekt by that healing ability sometimes

[kindred arrow]

Always buy event gear

[knotty jolt]

honestly can relate back in my days that was painful

[zenith heron]

I know, just asking you guys' review about it

[wet wing]

even though I have some decent URs I cant clear fast with just 1 team

[balmy skiff]

verdict on lexy2 chat?

[wind hazel]

killing that boss is easier than you think, if you have some CV

[hardy whale]

on this im assuming the top is mob, bottom is boss?

[balmy skiff]

is she better than Hakuhou?

[wind hazel]

unicorn is always the mob fleet

[rapid shard]

Hakuhou is for heavy, lex is for light armor

[ivory sigil]

wait i realize i havent got cowpen ? Does that mean i should roll more like 3 per day or keep the cube for future?

[wet wing]

light armor carriers right now is Essex, york2 and her right now?

[undone plover]

was it 415 total UR vouchers we can get?

[knotty jolt]

if you want her otherwise you can just stop

I personally got everything and was lucky with just 30 pulls solely so i can get the border

[rapid shard]

Ideally kear yk2 lex2 but Essex can work

[muted wind]

either works, the RLD tech may be useful in the future, but it's not like you need to care about that for a while

[ocean terrace]

im gonna do 1 event pull a day for now see, i dont have cowpens either

[wet wing]

Ive been using 12-4 for farming stuff is it fine

[tulip tinsel]

took me 90 pulls for lex2 and no other event only clev meta breh

[hardy whale]

for this, my Laffey would be a torp-focused ship?

[onyx flame]

just use normal aa the 2nd row

[wet wing]

wait whered u get this one?

[fast frigate]

is lex 2 good

[hardy whale]

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

[wind hazel]

no, gun. but there's no need to worry about AA if you're not in 13 or 15

[hardy whale]

i really need to get AA guns

[barren cedar]

so the new UR lex is worth investing the bulins right?

[wet wing]

oh didnt know he had a literal guide hub

[balmy skiff]

if i get lex2,should i use my urins on her or laff2? (I have 3)

[onyx flame]

i mean you can just shove whatever you have tbh dont gotta worry too much early on purple quad, roomba or 105 works enuf for new players

[ocean terrace]

do u get the same rewards for clearing A1 as C1? like is it the same mission?

[wind hazel]

ask when you have 4

and it also depends on what other UR you have lol

[knotty jolt]

hard mode provides more excluding 3x first clear bonus on normal

[balmy skiff]

but what if i had four of those urins?

[ocean terrace]

so I should clear everything at least once? normal and hard?

[onyx flame]

nah no reason too

[wind hazel]

no, just clear A1 to B2, then D3

[tulip tinsel]

what is cowpen's tech? rld? didn't get her bcs rng's a bitch

[onyx flame]

do A1-3, B1-2 then for the last one D3

[hardy whale]

i literally have nothing haha but its ok need to farm gear

[tulip tinsel]

thanks

[wind hazel]

and it also depends on what other UR you have lol

[tranquil vine]

do i actually have to farm 30k event points to get wdp immediately or does the actual amount drop dramatically becauseo f missions and such

[undone plover]

i would also try and do b3 once a day if u can use a 1:1 fleet for the 3x bonus

[muted wind]

should be much lower due to missions, even if you want to get her day 1

[ivory sigil]

man, beginner luck is surely fucc tup
Does A1-3 B1-3 means normal mode and not hardmode ?

[kindred arrow]

If you're patient you can get a copy for free

[tranquil vine]

im not

[undone plover]

i am trying to calc it
gimme a min
I think old events was 405 daily vouchers
so u needed to buy 95

[tranquil vine]

oh im bulin-ing WDP for sure

[stray crane]

oh damn 30 pull got lex2

[onyx jacinth]

first link

[ivory sigil]

Does A1-3 B1-2 means normal mode and not hardmode ?

[kindred arrow]

Yes

[onyx flame]

A,B are normal
C,D are hard

[wet wing]

do we have to complete normal mode to unlock hard mode for the event? or can we directly go into hardmode

[ivory sigil]

which skill priortize 1st for her

[onyx flame]

you can directly go to hard mode but you can low cost your way to unlock hard D3

[stray crane]

oh wow another one

[wind hazel]

there's no reason to do hardmode to get to D3, go low oil A1 to B2

[muted wind]

you can go directly to hard mode, but there's no reason to until you hit the last stage (or can't farm that difficutly)

[ocean terrace]

I'm running 1:1 with 120 Tohka with 70 Lex II, I should be able to breeze through A1-3 and B1-2 right?

[onyx flame]

#trophy-room

[wet wing]

what does low cost unlocking hard d3 mean

[wind hazel]

trophy rule is active

[undone plover]

i think it should be 415 daily vouchers
155 from challenges
50 from first SP clear
10 per day for 21 days = 210
so 415 total
need to buy 85
but this is not clear yet how much it gives so maybe less I will update when I unlock SP

[ivory sigil]

but it doesnt look like a trophy ?

[rain bobcat]

https://bit.ly/ALCFguide skin guide WIP is now being released.

Lexington 2 is done cowpens and yk2 later (3am I have to get sleep)

if I miss anything please go to this thread https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1451059957586854029

[onyx flame]

Do A1-B2 then you unlock B3 which you can switch to hard mode to get access to D3

so you low cost A1-B2

[kindred arrow]

Using low oil cost ships to do the 3 star missions (like say, Unicorn + a DD), then do D3 to save on oil

[ocean terrace]

I should be 3 starring my way to D3 though right?

[wet wing]

oh so I can unlock normal b3 and that directly unlocks hard d3?

I have like 90k oil in mail so I dont have a problem with it

[kindred arrow]

You don't need to unlock hard, it's a toggle

[thorn shoal]

what class is lex 2

[wind hazel]

you only need to do B2 to unlock D3

and to unlock SP you need to do D3

[thorn shoal]

weird since i noticed york 2 is essex class

[onyx flame]

essex class as well

[thorn shoal]

is there a way to check it

[onyx flame]

9 essex class now

[thorn shoal]

wiki hasn't been updated since november

[thorn shoal]

op class

[thorn shoal]

ah thanks

[wind hazel]

unmaxed tico

[muted wind]

the class is often also listed in the flavor text for the default skin

[thorn shoal]

ok they def want you to use lex 2 with york 2

[undone plover]

it was an oversight but now I am bulin starved so I am farming WA for 1 dupe

[thorn shoal]

but who else gives the aa debuff

[onyx flame]

laff2

[wind hazel]

kearsarge

[knotty jolt]

that's extreme poor talk

[wind hazel]

but antilight with no strong antilight boss to test it on

[onyx flame]

a lil late for muudachi

[wicked sluice]

How good is new ur, is she worth maxing?

[undone plover]

wichita was light right?
i guess it is her or jintsuu

[kindred arrow]

isn't harbi light this month?

[forest palm]

Wichita M?

[thorn shoal]

kear doesn't have it, only laff 2

[wind hazel]

no, and even if it is, harbiter isn't strong

[rain bobcat]

ask again in 9d , for now it's quite decent for anti light/campaign

[tranquil vine]

which new ur

[late flame]

Lex2

[undone plover]

worth maxing depends on your dock situation
come back when u stopped pulling event and show your URs so we can give proper advice

[kindred arrow]

I mean yeah, but better than nothing
Doesn't matter though I was just wrong

[thorn shoal]

can only think of this fleet

[ivory sigil]

why do we need 3 star A1-3 B1-2 ????

[onyx flame]

so who reached B3/D3 is it true that hvar is in the drop table

[kindred arrow]

Missions

[ocean terrace]

mission rewards

[undone plover]

if u are still pulling event for other ships dont use bulins on her yet
u might MLB and drop a nother dupe later which is a sucky feeling

[onyx flame]

mission rewards just like every event

[tranquil vine]

oh my god is this sp map how the later campaign worlds feel

[muted wind]

sp is easier

[undone plover]

SP is easy usually

[tranquil vine]

i cant see the battle because half my screen is planes

[muted wind]

oh what

[undone plover]

well easy if u have proper levelled ships

[tranquil vine]

i think i went into a three-triangle carrier fleet

[onyx flame]

shimanto time

[wind hazel]

wait til you see w15

[muted wind]

i am not there yet, but i have to suspect that w15 is worse than that too

[kindred arrow]

we have w15 at home

[undone plover]

most times I 1:1 SP

[rain bobcat]

lexi 2 kurumi 1:1 is the dream

[ocean terrace]

is this real

[muted wind]

i just remember getting something like 100 enemy aircraft approaching at once there. so sp is probably nothing in comparison

[muted wind]

wait that actually sounds good. i'll do that... on the next event

[rain bobcat]

well im still on d1 and im about to sleep so ill know tmrw, but its working swimmingly so far

[undone plover]

aff speedrunning

[tranquil vine]

is this how w15 feels

[muted wind]

imagine that but 10x the planes... and surface enemies that actually survive

[tranquil vine]

HOW CAN THERE BE EVEN MORE PLANES

[kindred arrow]

This isn't even w12 plane amount

[rain bobcat]

that's not even 1/16 of w15

[wind hazel]

this is w12-4 at best lol

[onyx flame]

seem tamer than 12 ngl

[tranquil vine]

[rain bobcat]

w15 has like 70 planes every wave

[tranquil vine]

i just got "combat info doesnt exist" what

[muted wind]

welcome to your first droplet of plane hell, we'll see you there

[onyx flame]

anyone at D3 yet what the gear drop

[tranquil vine]

did i just get softlocked

[verbal plinth]

Where is the x coming from

[muted wind]

try to relog/restart

[viscid swift]

HVAR hellcat

[kindred arrow]

restart, probably just desync

[wind hazel]

this is 15-4

[late flame]

Soft locked while doing pity pull was fun

[onyx flame]

so it is real that hvar is gonna be in D3

[viscid swift]

Yes

It was ahem "accurately guessed"

[obtuse island]

how many copies is recommended to grind?

[tranquil vine]

i see a submarine
thats it

[kindred arrow]

just in time to *not* use them because Lion

[viscid swift]

Depends if you're willing to commit but if you want to mon max 5-6

[muted wind]

-# oh yeah there are also enemy submarines there

[tranquil vine]

where

[muted wind]

not in the screenshot

[tranquil vine]

oh i was like "i cant see them"

[undone plover]

scarier moon rune screenshot

[knotty jolt]

Destroyer nodes have submarines supporting them

[tranquil vine]

john aircraft

[obtuse island]

welp, i'll just hope 20k oil is enough for atleast 2

[muted wind]

good luck

[wind hazel]

the AA in this event is a little cringe, B1 and i am feeling the pressure already

[sinful socket]

is Essex Kai/Yorktown II/Lexi II new CV comp?

[viscid swift]

Bearing in mind as well some of us cleared w15 without Laffey 2, Guam, Gouden, Z52, Trafalgar or UR AA guns

[stark quiver]

No

[verbal plinth]

Ham2 1-1 what aa

[late flame]

-# i have all those ships and still not motivated to clear w15 lul

[stark quiver]

It’s probably not enough for even one

[muted wind]

-# is your plan to let ham tickle the enemies to death?

[kindred arrow]

Last time I grinded them I needed 60kish for 2 to give you an idea of what to expect

[undone plover]

yes but u had aquila musashi

[stark quiver]

Kimo cheese didn’t even use Aquila to. clear

[kindred arrow]

And this is while lowcosting

[stark quiver]

You have no excuse

[tranquil vine]

i have this weird obsession with trying to use destroyers for everything so uhh w15 with destroyers is gonna be fun

[wind hazel]

laf2 is a destroyer

[tranquil vine]

laff2 and wdp are gonna carry me

[wind hazel]

z52 trafalgar too

[verbal plinth]

Eld

[stark quiver]

laff2,z52 eld

[obtuse island]

yeahhh im cooked before i even started

[tranquil vine]

right now my main DDs are the chinese missile ones and

[stark quiver]

Just don’t try too hard to grind for hvars if you can’t

[wind hazel]

💀

[stark quiver]

The grind is not for the weak

[tranquil vine]

i cant lowcostmax since my ships dont have the raw stats to meet the requirements for D3 with just 1:1 and 1:1

i gotta 1:1 and 2:2

[obtuse island]

and for the cherry ontop the hvar is a second faster than the la-9 so i will have to mess with loadouts

[wind hazel]

it's supposed to be 1:1 and 3:3

[worn lake]

[tranquil vine]

im lowering costs everywhere i can since i gotta farm a LOT

[stark quiver]

You have a second fleet to stat pad and put cross fleet

[tranquil vine]

my mobbing fleeohright

[stark quiver]

They are also good for different things

[thorn shoal]

gonna run this and hope for the best

[wind hazel]

who dis

[stark quiver]

Me

[wind hazel]

you're riding very cool batmobile

[sinful socket]

so Kearsage is still central to the comp then

[stark quiver]

Wait to see if lion is better lol

[thorn shoal]

too good to ignore since half the comp benefits the aa debuff

[viscid swift]

The 3:3 fleet is a cross fleet fleet that will never actually fight

[tranquil vine]

alright, can unicorn + fu shun farm d3 with the help of my six crossfleet abilities

[muted wind]

probably?

[kindred arrow]

That's what I'm doing to clear

[tranquil vine]

i mean i think theyre both level 125 at this point

[wind hazel]

that's what most people do

if fleet requirement allow...

[tranquil vine]

yea they're both lv125 lol

[whole crypt]

so what did I miss

[viscid swift]

yes

I dunno, just woke up

[tranquil vine]

each run costs me 300 oil and ive got like 16k saved up

[whole crypt]

as usual I miss day 1 because busy from work

[stark quiver]

Waking up at 12 is crazy work

[wind hazel]

300

[late flame]

-# just lurking here for updated yorktown meta fleet

[pallid trellis]

hm...

[sleek spade]

Isn't D porter's AA buff really good?

[whole crypt]

I just realized now I can't level the new event ships because I just sent my night time comms out

[sleek spade]

that's some insane AA buffs lol

[stark quiver]

What’s this

[wind hazel]

ahahahahahahaha

[whole crypt]

game hates you obviously

[knotty jolt]

Zoomies

[wind hazel]

dying to isuzu smh

[wary lake]

Did they change mecklenburg data collection method? I swear it was vanguard before

[wind hazel]

no

[wet wing]

is Implacable a good freezer for Hakuhou and Shinano for my heavy armor fleet in opsiren?

[fallow dove]

i have the same issue, tf are we supposed to do

[terse juniper]

is the new dive bomber good for lexington 2 or yorktown 2?

[whole crypt]

main fleet ships have never taken vanguard XP

[stray crane]

we get anything for 3 staring the event map ?

[wind hazel]

yes

check mission tabs

[inland shoal]

It looks like a timing alternative if you ask me, it's very fast

[wind hazel]

our skin got censored?

[muted wind]

you can take it off

[wind hazel]

teach me

[stark quiver]

Dear god

[onyx flame]

[drowsy quest]

Is the UR lexington II good? Or good enough to replace unicorn or shinano ?

[muted wind]

different role

[onyx flame]

no one replaces unicorn

[knotty jolt]

Nothing replaces unicorn lol

[valid forge]

just got lexington 2

[kindred arrow]

You won't be replacing unicorn where you need to use her

[valid forge]

should i grade her? :clueless:

[muted wind]

lex II is good, but she's more so USS cv fleet/anti-light ship

[zenith heron]

Light based CV since red Skill says so

[drowsy quest]

Just got her, and i was thinking she would be an boost for my formation, to replace someone, maybe kotori?

[true lichen]

Should i do all stages in easy mode first? And once every day?

[zenith heron]

Also, She has a 0 spd debuff, Oh I hope its on proc, but then again its just 40% slow until requirements are met

[valid forge]

just got meta cleveland, should i grade her? :clueless:

[zenith heron]

Kotori is a BB so different role, also don't use a ship that isn't MLB yet unless your intention is to grind her normally and would not use her anywhere else other than grinding in Campaign

[stark quiver]

She’s a BC

[onyx flame]

potato potato

[wanton dagger]

Is new banner good?

[ocean terrace]

is she?

[glossy granite]

I have dementia, can i just start doing Hard first rather than first normal then hard? on the new event

[ivory sigil]

-# this event had too many chest!

[onyx flame]

low cost A1-B2 then go straight to D3

[boreal wagon]

you can even mix between them in the new format

[stark quiver]

She isn’t 💀

[wind hazel]

💀

[zenith heron]

[wind hazel]

oath affinity 200 and forget which hull she is smh

[ivory sigil]

She is BB right? the Hardmode did ask for BB and i still put her normally

[ocean terrace]

what did i just send

[stark quiver]

Hull doesn’t matter if she’s good

[boreal wagon]

-# luckily he never meta oaths as he has told us

[ivory sigil]

Hull name BB doesnt matter BC BBV BBC ABC

[ocean terrace]

no it does, for hull requirements in fleets

[wind hazel]

is she good in pvp?

[stark quiver]

That is just the one that is also part of that research series, right?

[inland shoal]

Oh I click the mirror

[ivory sigil]

wait so for low oil cost i just spam this???

[whole crypt]

if you can't go lower yes

[onyx flame]

why is lex in there?

@rain bobcat might be useful for you later

[robust onyx]

Lexington 2 looks like she wants faction fleets

[whole crypt]

I'll oath her anyway just in case

[stark quiver]

Rich man

[whole crypt]

current top for Lexington II is with Yorktown II

[wind hazel]

sez u

[whole crypt]

I'm not the one oathing for PvP

[stark quiver]

[whole crypt]

third ship may or may not be Kearsarge

[ivory sigil]

oh no my gem
they want to dance

[wind hazel]

which CV has strongest crossfleet barrage?

essex or amagi?

[whole crypt]

I'm inclined to say they're both meh

[waxen lark]

So if I don't have Yorktown II or kearsarge, probably not worth pulling on lex 2? I don't have any UR currently. My strongest fleet is DAL collab fleet. Currently in story chapter 10.

[ocean terrace]

is this heavy or special banner

[whole crypt]

Yorktown II just got perm
Lexington II is still stronger than anything in DAL

[ivory sigil]

(assume MLB)

@waxen lark if u lucky to get her in 20 rolls then it is totally beneficial

[stray crane]

wait so dont do the hard mode ?

[whole crypt]

for new event format you do not need to do hard for anything before D3

[ocean terrace]

until D3

[wind hazel]

Do
A1
A2
A3
B1
B2
B3 for daily
D3
SP

[undone plover]

A1-B2 > D3
extra do B3 if u want the 3x daily bonus only

[stark quiver]

According to me it was Essex retro

[wind hazel]

i picked her

[valid forge]

which ships worth to upgrade from event basically?

[undone plover]

essex retro has x-fleet?

[ocean terrace]

then repeat D3 right?

[stark quiver]

Am I behind

[whole crypt]

rainbows but will depend on your roster and availability of bulins
Cowpens probably good secondary healer or just something to level if your Unicorn is capped
rest is probably unimpressive

[whole crypt]

very

[stark quiver]

What’s are normal people at

[ivory sigil]

so we low cost oil until we reach D3 and spam oil there?

[wind hazel]

havent do today's

and this isnt the max either

[whole crypt]

folks should have broke 100% with change to Thur, since EN maint they should just be getting there now

[hollow plank]

so who to aim for this e vent banner? is ther elike a must have?

[wind hazel]

lexii

[whole crypt]

LexII

[stark quiver]

Bruh

[quasi nymph]

does the man who used to call himself bruce wayne of azur lane still around ?

[stark quiver]

Not that I know of

[wind hazel]

no, but i am barry allen.

[whole crypt]

I don't know this man

[quasi nymph]

i used to watch his streams 2-3 years ago

kinda forgot his chanel name

[whole crypt]

we basically give no shits about AL streamers here

[stark quiver]

Is it kimocheese

[quasi nymph]

nah bro that can't be him , he was american

[undone plover]

there is 47k from dailies (if u do 3x build/day even more)
another 8k from one time missions
so u will reach 55k without having to do any extra D3

[brittle osprey]

guy what's Lexington's time build

[ocean terrace]

4:25

[twin bronze]

Whats the gold gear drop for d3?

[fair lance]

Hvar

[wind hazel]

hvar

[hardy whale]

why is SP unavailable?

[whole crypt]

you need to clear D3

[fair lance]

Have to do D3 first

[stark quiver]

Are there enemy subs in event

[stark quiver]

I’m gonna slice my head off

[hardy whale]

i must be lost i dont even see a C1 - 3

[wind hazel]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/460648604974055424/1322138175426269215/image0.png

[quasi nymph]

time to load golden hedgehogs

[twin bronze]

HELL YEAHHH LESS GOO

[little tree]

What content is the new ur dd good for ?

[viscid swift]

uhh, she's the worst UR we've had so far

[stark quiver]

Worse than mog?

[onyx flame]

mog tier

[wind hazel]

not worse than prepatch mog, worse than post patch mog

[viscid swift]

her eHP isn't a liability but everything else about her is whatever

[stark quiver]

So shitass skills

[quasi nymph]

so not only were her stats sub par but even the skills werent that good ?

[viscid swift]

not good enough

[quasi nymph]

so laffey 2 and eldridge are like straight upgrades in comparison or does she have some niche ?

[hardy whale]

i dont see a hardmode am i blind

[boreal wagon]

she has the niche of killing your own flagship, albeit slower than the heatdeath of the universe

[wind hazel]

bro @hardy whale

[viscid swift]

she has worse damage than Trafalgar, 110% of Portland's eHP with skills that are very campaign oriented

[whole crypt]

@hardy whale

[hardy whale]

yes,. yes i am blind

[hollow gust]

What happen to 74%

[hardy whale]

i am way too tired to be playing azur lane, but i must press on

[viscid swift]

I dunno

[quasi nymph]

so a mob fleet based destroyer ?

[viscid swift]

anyway, still doesn't change the fact she's mid

[whole crypt]

mebot forgot dred and heal

[wind hazel]

why is the boss speaking Swedish

[viscid swift]

easily bottom priority

[boreal wagon]

dw they all will

[whole crypt]

it's probably another one of those caesar cipher things

[viscid swift]

let me put it like this, every other EU UR vanguard released before her is better than her

[quasi nymph]

what about lexington then ? her skills didnt seemed to be doing that much dmg , she is more reliant on anti air

[viscid swift]

what

she's basically cementing the USN carriers for antilight operations

[quasi nymph]

yeah more like a buffer

[stark quiver]

What does that mean
Are they back in meta?

[viscid swift]

dunno the point of trying to save Yorktown 2 in 2025 but

[viscid swift]

I dunno how they compare

[stark quiver]

Neither do I

[viscid swift]

just saying that's very much what they're oriented towards

[whole crypt]

you need a light boss for it to work though

[stark quiver]

Ah

[viscid swift]

precisely

[quasi nymph]

aren't most fleets heavily dependent on the armor type of the enemy ? like how ijn is very great againt heavy armor for now

[whole crypt]

WDP apparently is good for buffing Lion in Lion/YorktownII/LexingtonII

[uneven knot]

is lex 2 worth running if u don’t have york2 or essex

[quasi nymph]

WDP ?

[strong tartan]

willy d

[knotty jolt]

quick refresher, the skins are a two part thing right? First batch now second ina week?

[viscid swift]

yes

[boreal wagon]

yes

[knotty jolt]

[civic prairie]

when is next ur banner?have a lot of cube balance

[knotty jolt]

Look at cheeky's name

[wind hazel]

read name above

[civic prairie]

ah ok

is she gud?

[inland shoal]

Yeah, 18 for A1

[wind hazel]

she okay

[quasi nymph]

is laffey 2 also gonna rerun with guam ?

[kindred arrow]

Yes

[whole crypt]

can you just tell me what that said pretty please

[hardy whale]

who is prior

[inland shoal]

MIMIC BEAST - HERMIT

[robust onyx]

Laffey II

[whole crypt]

again

[wind hazel]

laffey isn't from gacha, so basically free to get

only catch is we don't know how they will handle the currency

[strong tartan]

ikea item names

[quasi nymph]

yeah i remember her being in exchange event

[small quarry]

Good afternoon... where can I get these points? I can't play Operation Siren because of my account level.

[civic prairie]

is it worth to build and mlb lexii?i have retroessex

[tulip tinsel]

missions tab

[robust onyx]

Event task in daily tasks

[quasi nymph]

also if guam is considered just ok now, then what is the best ca/cb currently ?

[wind hazel]

these missions

[whole crypt]

get all event ships
MLB all event ships that's not UR or META

[strong tartan]

new ur is always worth

[knotty jolt]

I mean, we're currently shitting on willy d

[civic prairie]

alright

[wind hazel]

might have gave you the wrong impression with "she okay", she's great for w15, very strong AA ship, tanky

[strong tartan]

I've eradicated her from my memory

[whole crypt]

WDP is free and some CN bros are looking at her 10% flagship damage buff

[knotty jolt]

[whole crypt]

and also looks fairly ok for late campaign

[strong tartan]

she doesn't look that bad I mean mogador on release was something else

[quasi nymph]

new gear kinda disappointing though, i wanted something more shiny

[inland shoal]

Hermit, Lovers, Chariot, Empress, Strength, Magician, Adhesive Rapid Crawler Type × 2

[whole crypt]

mogs on release was a mechanical issue
WDP is a stat issue

[robust onyx]

HVAR farming

[quasi nymph]

so we do get hvar again at d3 this time ? currently clearing c3 on my acc

[whole crypt]

yes and there's no need to do C3

[quasi nymph]

i mean i gotta move through the campaign alright

[whole crypt]

you can do A3 with low(er) cost

[dry tree]

I have a question in regards to the datamine ban. Is it still possible to discuss kits (lowkey forsight) once it's up on other servers?

I had the thought since Jp server is ahead of us on when the content releases. Can we have a discussion when it's out there or is it strictly on OUR game server when it's available

thanks for the response if there are any

[upbeat wagon]

how much is monthly cube income, will i be fine with 200 cubes until next ur

[strong tartan]

first verdict on cowpens is american aquila isn't it

I think monthly income was 144? someone can correct me on that

[kindred arrow]

168 per month guaranteed + commission rng

[quasi nymph]

depends on your luck, i got lexing 2 under 30 builds

[whole crypt]

you can talk about "translations from CN/JP" but the bottom line is you should not be doing before CN is live and you also should not be discussing stats that are not visible to player

[upbeat wagon]

next ur i got lexii in 100 pulls

[kindred arrow]

You'll probably be fine for Guam since there's tickets

[quasi nymph]

yeah that's what i meant, you can hopeful like me and get a ur in ur next 10 pulls

[viscid swift]

something like that yeah

[upbeat wagon]

ah alright

[dry tree]

ah I see, that sucks. Thank you for the response.

[upbeat wagon]

you saying i continue pull?

[tulip tinsel]

got lexi2 already from pulls but not the other 2, is it worth pulling for more?

[viscid swift]

up to you

[inland shoal]

Btw in an unbelievable turn of events, map data for this event is available on the wiki
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/A_Note_Through_the_Firmament

[tulip tinsel]

i mean like is that 1rld from cowpen worth it or not?

[quasi nymph]

i mean i still would

[whole crypt]

surely some players just screenshotted it

does the event page even exist yet

[remote yarrow]

If you don't have more than 400 cubes for Guam probably stop now

[viscid swift]

I mean that's very much up to you

this is really not a particularly binary choice

[hollow gust]

Don't even need that , you only need 200 or so

[inland shoal]

Doesn't have much of anything other than the map data tho

[viscid swift]

depends on how many cubes you have, how much of a risk you're willing to take, how much you like the new ships, etc

[tulip tinsel]

900

[remote yarrow]

Well more like 312 if he pities but w/e

[whole crypt]

did the news thing just stop updating or something

[lime vapor]

Do u guys remove from event elite/rare ships that u dont use in ur dock?

[whole crypt]

collectors keep everything

[viscid swift]

no

[remote yarrow]

Depends on the person, I collect every ship

[inland shoal]

Well that's also manual work

[whole crypt]

if you're asking about dock space the answer is buy more

[remote yarrow]

Some ppl just keep URs,SRs and some useful Elites

[knotty jolt]

Then there are fleet power grinders

[inland shoal]

And I don't get the format so I'm not doing it

[lime vapor]

Cuz i collect everything and im starting to have problems with it since im f2p i cant just buy my way through it

[whole crypt]

start by dropping commons and rares that are easy to recover

[errant jacinth]

is there any reason to keep a lexington II dupe around? I got lucky and pulled her twice

[whole crypt]

use for LB

[knotty jolt]

use it to limit break

[kindred arrow]

You'll have to be picky then, start with perma ships that can be reobtained easily

[remote yarrow]

Well, collecting and being F2P isn't an easy task, it's possible but you'll eventually reach a bottleneck

[whole crypt]

it's easier if you play for 10 more years

[viscid swift]

I did it

granted I did start in 2020 when there were less ships period but

[whole crypt]

starting now it's probably another 5 years at least to catch up

without buying that is

[errant jacinth]

also is there gonna be another UR on banner soon?

[remote yarrow]

Read the name of the person above

[whole crypt]

read name of guy with blue name

[errant jacinth]

oh 😭

[lime vapor]

Im a 6 year playing player and im surprised my dock last this long with free gems

[white agate]

only true difficulty is getting all ships to 120, getting all ships should take 2 y except some niche ships not rerunning and still nowere to be seen

[whole crypt]

6th year players shouldn't have problems with dock unless you misspent gems

[remote yarrow]

Did you miss the F2P part

[wind hazel]

2y is lucky lol

[white agate]

oh, the dockspace

[whole crypt]

or you haven't picked up some of the later chapter gems I guess

[lime vapor]

Y E S

[lime vapor]

Im stuck in 13-2 also i still haven't able to get the free gems in the archive

[remote yarrow]

How are you stuck in 13-2 after 6 years

[white agate]

i mean, i still gotta do w14 and 15 , tho i am confident i can stroll rough them easily

[uneven knot]

my RNG so bad this event 110 pulls and no lexi

[remote yarrow]

One's being lazy, the other is actually being stuck

[lime vapor]

Cuz im random bsing my fleet 😭

[whole crypt]

[lime vapor]

Just random bs with upgrading and gears got me this far

[viscid swift]

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

[white agate]

i got 3 of them in a x 10 pull, tho all of them were lexi 1

[kindred arrow]

Well that has an easy solution, stop bsing

[uneven knot]

i would be so sick

[tranquil vine]

how much affinity does a full 3-sweep with HEPs use in D3

[errant jacinth]

isn't that less likely to happen than just getting a lexi 2?

[white agate]

nah, i still have 1100 cubes and am at 120/200, i'll manage

[tranquil vine]

idk if i can safely do a 3-sweep at 35 morale

[white agate]

yes

[uneven knot]

damn bro let me get some cubes

i’m down to 240 and a little half way over to potty

[tranquil vine]

my friend

im at 0 cubes .

[white agate]

actually less likely than to get 3 lexi II statistically wise

[clear harbor]

You should just be able to do one 10 pull per day for 20 days to hit the pitty, right?

[tranquil vine]

ok so does each battle reduce morale by 1, or is it by more?

[errant jacinth]

that's what I was thinking, it's kinda crazy

[lime vapor]

I am starting not to bsing thats why im im here 😭

[white agate]

depends on the ship sinking, else 2 per sortie iirc

[whole crypt]

can you go lower than Uni/DDG for this D3

[atomic abyss]

2 per battle
10 if the ship sinks

[uneven knot]

i’m praying for u twin

[tranquil vine]

nobody is sinking, im just trying to farm points with fu shun and i dont wanna affinity tank her

[clear harbor]

Also, is Cleveland Meta only obtainable through building?

[whole crypt]

B3/D3 drop, shop

[tranquil vine]

how easy is it to fix affinity tanking once i do it

[white agate]

drops from B3/D3 sp stage and shop

[viscid swift]

not that I know of

maybe if you level a UR Bullin but yeah

[whole crypt]

what do you mean maybe

[clear harbor]

@white agate @whole crypt Oh Thank you. I have't been able to see the shop yet.

[viscid swift]

I just remember some old CN fleets

[whole crypt]

it was a thing last event? rerun?

[viscid swift]

yes

[whole crypt]

not sure if it'll cut it for this one though

[viscid swift]

precisely

[white agate]

i would wait till the end of the event to get her trough shop tbh, her dropping should likely happen

[whole crypt]

ah well let me get to safe first

[clear harbor]

Lol. During the DaL event, I ended up getting 1 redundant copy of the Yamai twins through drops.

[uneven knot]

cleveland meta has animation when u build her. got trolled and thought it was the UR

[whole crypt]

all build METAs have a special cut-in

[tulip tinsel]

cube turns red

[white agate]

the red cubes? its for all meta from build iirc

[uneven knot]

this is my first time ever pulling a meta from a build. as u can imagine my disappointment was immeasurable 😭✌️

[pearl berry]

Is there an item that makes ships classify and ib ships

🙁 I want kurumi to be ironblood for agir

[kindred arrow]

but why tho
Agir doesn't even have Ironblood synergy

[tulip tinsel]

there should be a few ib ships you can get

[west steeple]

does D3 has oil cap

[pearl berry]

You need ironblood vanguard xp

[wind hazel]

pretend this is Kurumi

[pearl berry]

No. Her boobs aren't big enough

[wind hazel]

ok relax Issei

[kindred arrow]

Don't put Kurumi in fleet when grinding exp

[safe nexus]

is there a need to do C1 to B2? if i can do B3, like are there daily multipliers?

[pearl berry]

I'm grinding event but need xp

[zinc swan]

I've never once messed with the META ships system... should i start doing that big time? haha

[subtle grotto]

is there other ships that can heal asides from unicorn!!!

[whole crypt]

Cowpens from this event would be a start

[tranquil vine]

is there a way to turn off the mood popup

[whole crypt]

the low morale warning no

[zinc swan]

@tulip tinsel saying to continue ignoring em? lol

[tranquil vine]

boo

[pearl berry]

I clicked advise for hard mode and this is the fleet it gave me

[kindred arrow]

let your ships rest mostly
Can do opsi in the meantime

[tulip tinsel]

most meta ships are trash

[safe nexus]

shouhou heals vanguard ship only, yoshino which is quite less, and perseus are the ones ik

[viscid swift]

you know that thing just picks based on fleet power right?

[pearl berry]

You monster

[zinc swan]

New hestia ship heals too right?

[tranquil vine]

THIS IS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO GET WDP

i will refill her affinity afterwards!

[pearl berry]

Oh really? I had no idea.

[muted wind]

@rain bobcat found another interaction for lex2 skin that's missing on your spreadsheet. bunnygirl toggle if you tap the left side of her butt.
-# also you can pull on her top but that's less interesting

[zinc swan]

yea she's dog haha

[whole crypt]

you don't need to grind extra hard to get WDP

[safe nexus]

idk, i just know not worth to build

[pearl berry]

I REPEAT. YOU. MF. MONSTER.

[kindred arrow]

Cycle your ships when they get to low morale

[zinc swan]

Oh absolutely not worth it, she's a favorite character of mine so im getting her to 125, but shes pretty bad

[tranquil vine]

issue:
i dont think i have any other combos of ships that can 1:1 the boss when at 0 ammo

[pearl berry]

Uh. Wha.

[onyx flame]

restart prob

[pearl berry]

My 3 stars. You hoe.

[onyx flame]

ate it was hungry soz

[whole crypt]

might just be a desync restart game
if doens't work clear again
if still doesn't work contact CS

[kindred arrow]

not much you can do but stop for a while then

[thick belfry]

have we evaluated if the event gear is good yet?

[safe nexus]

is there daily multiplier for c1 to d3?

[viscid swift]

it's just the latest timing DB

[kindred arrow]

Normal A-B has x3

[viscid swift]

it has a niche but whether that niche will ever be useful is tbs

[junior fractal]

170 pulls here, took 180 for Haku as well. RNG will turn around aaaaaany day now 💀

[safe nexus]

i see so C and D no?

[kindred arrow]

Yes, C and D (hardmode) don't have daily bonuses

[safe nexus]

ok thx

i also dont need to 3* D3 right? if i done 3* B3

[kindred arrow]

Yup, those missions are shared between normal and hard

[native spoke]

For the next 400 pity do I prio Musashi or Yorktown II?
Also in general how do you build up this pity? I never pull on it unless its to do the daily one pull when there isn't an event banner.

[ivory pawn]

Daily 1 pull, and non-UR event banners pretty much.

[tulip tinsel]

daily 1x light

[safe nexus]

so 1 musashi a year+,gonna MLB her in half a decade

[stone sluice]

Can someone remind me how much oil you were spending per hvar gotten in average?

[safe nexus]

is it really not worth to use bulins for them its sad to wait that long espeically with non UR banner takes a long time

[ivory pawn]

By 5 years, you should have enough spare UR bulins to MLB whoever you want.

[uneven knot]

5 years 💀

[safe nexus]

5 years duration is the issue here XD

[kindred arrow]

I did 130kish for 4 while lowcosting

[onyx flame]

game a marathon after all esp considering rerun takes 2 years that not bad

[native spoke]

But in 5 years wouldn't you say the 400 pity units are irrelevant/powercrept and only for waifu purpose

[tulip tinsel]

probably

[ivory pawn]

Tbh it depends on your current URs. Just cause she’s perma doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea to use bulins on Musashi. Just less likely.

[safe nexus]

does powercrept really matter a whole lot?

[ivory pawn]

Folks already do.

[reef flume]

If you have a ship that does damage and a ship that does more damage, which one you picking?

[safe nexus]

the one i like more

[onyx flame]

i mean it really depends on the ship their roles and what have you shinano survive for like almost 5 years? before being power crept

[turbid dawn]

Are there any good vangaurd ships for this Meta fight? Tried Kursk over Traf and it just ended up being worse

[safe nexus]

holy 19.5k 😭

[ivory pawn]

Fwiw, I MLB’d Shinano in under a year, no bulins or other bonuses.

[onyx flame]

did kursk get fixed?

[safe nexus]

how?

[onyx flame]

if so its prob momo/kurumi

[boreal wagon]

seems to be

[ivory pawn]

Pulling non-UR event banners while I had a surplus of cubes.

Ofc ymmv, but it won’t take 5 years unless you only do daily 1x and UR events.

[safe nexus]

in this year you pull on how many non UR banners?

[onyx flame]

anyho check 📌 there some early recos for vanguards

[remote yarrow]

That number is useless btw

[ivory pawn]

All of them I think? Also reruns come with free ~40 pulls, easy quarter of the way to next pity.

[safe nexus]

oh i see thx

[errant jacinth]

also how good is lexi 2? is it worth using my UR bulins I already got 1 dupe for her?

[turbid dawn]

Ah, I don't bother with collab ships so I don't have them, not much I can really do then, huh?

[onyx flame]

there some non collab choices that you could try

[wide sable]

has anyone been locked out on log in screen on Iphone?

[viscid swift]

you could try Laffey 2 and Duisburg

[wide sable]

I deleted the game and recently came back

and I've been stuck on the log in screen since, literally can't proceed even when I tried to without logging in

[white agate]

probably yostar account needed? how long ago was it?

[wide sable]

the only time I got past it was during sever maintenance

[wide sable]

I have a yostar account linked

and I have been playing since like, 2020

and just deleted the game right after lion's event

[white agate]

guess idk what the problem may be then, try asking #tech-support

[remote yarrow]

Well keep trying to login with Yostar otherwise go ask #tech-support

[errant mauve]

What’s the gold equipment drops for this event

[onyx flame]

from the map? hvar hellcat

[errant mauve]

Ok ty

[turbid dawn]

Even with Duis it's still worse then Z52, I tired LaffeyII but she does her summons way too late

[viscid swift]

not unsuprising given they don't sync up well

have you tried Nahkimov, Soyuz, Fritz 3 strike

[turbid dawn]

I guess I could give that a try, do I replace whoever the middle is with Duis?

[viscid swift]

yes

[hardy whale]

whats the maximum comfort for dorm?

[turbid dawn]

1 issue, I only have 3 La9s, would that be a massive issue?

[viscid swift]

it might cost you the one shot

may as well just run the BBs with Helena at that point

[wind niche]

How good is Lexington 2?

[strong tartan]

can the new corsair passively intercept

[turbid dawn]

Yeah that was the best 1 so far but I'm 4 bars off killing, I'm washed

[blissful berry]

Can the votes for this round be saved for the next round? (Waiting for Graf Zeppelin to come back) or do I need to use them this round?

[onyx flame]

they only last for the round its in

[blissful berry]

Damn, aight thank you

[proper violet]

Is cowpens good?

[blissful berry]

Also what Anniversary was this year? 7th or 8th?

[stray crane]

why my SP still locked ?

[onyx flame]

7th for en 8th for jp

do slightly different roles

Aquila is better for healing main fleets, Cowpens better for vanguards

[proper violet]

Is all 3 in 1 fleet good? Super heal

[viscid swift]

not really

you want a BB for interception

among other things

[proper violet]

True yeah

[wind niche]

Hello? Is the Lexington 2 good or no?

[viscid swift]

yes, how good is to be determined

[ashen saffron]

i am going to guess she is good ... but how good is she tho ?

[hollow gust]

why did you go for ulrich?????

[viscid swift]

not good enough to priortize for UR Bullins

also why did you pull heavy/special when there is a UR event going on

[hollow gust]

there is a UR event rn, and half the permant roster is better then her

[cobalt robin]

I hope that was only just a daily pull (still not good tho)

[ashen saffron]

yes

[ashen saffron]

wha-

[cobalt robin]

She is pretty low when it comes to UR BBs

[ashen saffron]

i see

[proper violet]

New jersey is low too?

[viscid swift]

yes

[proper violet]

Dangit

[white agate]

unless she got an augm when i was not following news

[viscid swift]

why would ever do daily pulls on heavy or special

[cobalt robin]

Spend your cubes on ur event and do your daily pull on light outside of pulling on banners, it's better on the long run

[ashen saffron]

it was just one pull

[proper violet]

Yeah I got cowpens alrdy so happy for now

[viscid swift]

I know, I'm saying that should never happen unless you misclicked

[proper violet]

We know we getting that pen skin

[cobalt robin]

Well if you do it for a longer time, the loss does add up

But I shouldn't really talk since I also do daily pull on special

[proper violet]

You sick man

Respect it tho

[cobalt robin]

I just want some ships from the special pool 😔

[peak fable]

glad to hear that I am not the only special puller

[ashen saffron]

aw come on go easy on me bru- one pull can brick my acc ?

[proper violet]

Same ngl

[atomic abyss]

low, but still above ulrich

[cobalt robin]

At the end of the day, you can do whatever you want really. Though it is recommended to do do daily light pull instead

[onyx flame]

it wont brick your account per say but you do lose out on 1 extra cube a day so over the year its almost 1 whole pity could hurt your chances for newer urs and what not

[cobalt robin]

Daily heavy/special puull for newer players might really cuck you in times of ur events

You're basically losing a cube everyday

[proper violet]

1 less skibidy

[ashen saffron]

ehhh not a bit deal for me ig i just play the game when i feel it

[cobalt robin]

Well it's up to you if wanna follow the optimal way (can't judge when I do the same thing )

[proper violet]

Yeah I follow the minmax on that cause I only ever wanna buy skins lmao, and would like more UR

[ashen saffron]

alr

[proper violet]

But if you want another pool, you want it, so no spilt cowpen milk

Is there a retrofit ship in this event?

[white agate]

yes

[proper violet]

Who?

[white agate]

maury

[proper violet]

Good?

[white agate]

its a blue ship so..., unless she is good for weird mechanics no

[proper violet]

Aweeeeee

Event plane worth?

[ivory pawn]

Even if you never use it, might as well pick it up.

[proper violet]

Truu

[ivory pawn]

Better to have it if you need it than not.

[errant jacinth]

do we know how good lexi 2 is yet?

[viscid swift]

no

[proper violet]

It has a skill against bb kinda cool

[fiery jetty]

where can we get maury, I unlocked it but deleted mine 300 years ago

is she in requisition?

[upbeat wagon]

dont spend medals in requisition

[white agate]

unfortunately datamine has been banned

[cobalt robin]

~~our thread 😔 ~~

[viscid swift]

light pool

[stray crane]

we farm D3 right ?

[errant jacinth]

oh yeah I saw that ban announcement earlier
any reason they banned it now and not earlier?

[weary pilot]

Help

[white agate]

some CN people probably did something weird

[viscid swift]

tldr blame Lore Dataminers

[cobalt robin]

it was cn idiots this time, en W

[viscid swift]

with what?

[weary pilot]

I can’t proceed C3

[cobalt robin]

but a W since datamining is banned permanentally

[upbeat wagon]

big L

[viscid swift]

you didn't meet the stat and/or hull type requirements

[weary pilot]

Ohhh? Let me try again

Okie works now tysm

I was doing solo fleet

[errant jacinth]

also is the purple lexi the same lexi as the UR one? just like younger or smth?

[white agate]

datamines were the appetizer while waiting for the main dishes

[boreal wagon]

thats more a question for #al-lore but lore wise they are the same entity

[viscid swift]

same character, different rigging is a very simplified version

[fiery jetty]

thanks, time to do a daily pull until I get her again

[errant jacinth]

cool was just curious

[spice phoenix]

is asw fleet tech on dd worth it?

[viscid swift]

it's the last tech I'll be doing

[spice phoenix]

also muse ships dont give bonuses correct?

[viscid swift]

correct

[spice phoenix]

thank you

[turbid dawn]

I just cannot figure out a way to clear this fight, if I swap out Ply for Kursk the VG becomes way too squishy and dies too fast, but the damage from just the summons of Duisberg+BisZ just isn't quite enough

[cobalt robin]

no 5x and 3x rewards from event stages this time?

[viscid swift]

you need more summons

[sterile jolt]

not a rerun

[viscid swift]

only on reruns

[onyx flame]

there 3x on normal

[slender turtle]

Need kurumi probably

[viscid swift]

and Kurumi was free from her event

[cobalt robin]

is this not a rerun?

[peak fable]

hard stages dont have a bonus, right?

[boreal wagon]

its a main event lol

[turbid dawn]

But if I swap say Ply for Kursk the VG dies with like 20s left and she becomes unkillable

[onyx flame]

its lexy2 event lmao

[boreal wagon]

they dont

[onyx flame]

yea no bonus

[peak fable]

kk ty

[white agate]

they tend to have oil cap at like D3

[viscid swift]

I mean summons on a ship that don't fold like a house of cards

[slender turtle]

Think that is where kurumi is important, cause she wont die

[cobalt robin]

wait i was thinking it would lexi and yorki event but thats in WA now

[viscid swift]

Momo also worked fine

[peak fable]

on a sidenote, do preloaded torps or double gun vanguards clear mob stages faster on auto?

[viscid swift]

torps usually but I don't bother with speed clearing really

[turbid dawn]

I don't have collab ships sadly, because they don't work to collection+tech and take up Dock space I don't wanna spend money on I don't bother with them or retire them once I get them

[white agate]

i do for opsi

[viscid swift]

I use opsi for XP farming

[viscid swift]

well let this be a lesson in why you don't want to retire unique ships if you can afford it

you never know when a ship may come in handy and better to have something and not need it rather than the other way around

anyway, as I said, you still have Helena to lean on

[tulip tinsel]

just have all ur's and you don't need collab

[turbid dawn]

Wait I actually do have a Kurumi, I didn't pull for her and she's been in the dorm long enough to hit almost 100, idk how I have her then but I'm presuming I'd need to level the skills?

[viscid swift]

yes

[cobalt robin]

commons and rares acquired from stages can be retired but why would you retire collab ships 😭

[viscid swift]

collab ships are literally meta for one shotting this META showdown

[proper violet]

Tohka was decent tank for early stages fx

[turbid dawn]

They don't interest me and don't go towards collection+fleet tech basically, don't wanna waste cubes

[grizzled mortar]

so who is the eagle union AA debuffer that all of Lexi's skills seem to reference?

[viscid swift]

Yorktown 2

[grizzled mortar]

agony

[viscid swift]

well she's just one option

but the 2 are very much yin and yang

[slender turtle]

Who the 3rd main fleet with them? Kearsarge im assuming?

[viscid swift]

maybe

or just Lion because it's Lion

[grizzled mortar]

Essex would benefit from both

[soft raft]

She wasnt in the Gacha, she was obtainable by just grinding

[hollow gust]

where is the link for yorky meta comps?

[median jetty]

When is the estimation month for laffey ii rerun?

[uneven knot]

does lexi2 maid skin have secret interactions?

[cobalt robin]

should be pins

[viscid swift]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uU-t3CrFFpKFrheOUHSNHysDfb86P11OztobBlAWWK8/edit?tab=t.0

[cobalt robin]

read a certain someones name here

[viscid swift]

read my name

[cobalt robin]

[hot turret]

alright so I just collected Lex II, it's completely stock but would you guys say it's better than Retrofit Essex? if I max limit break Lex II?

[white agate]

but its guam

[cobalt robin]

laff2 is in shop, guam is the gacha UR

[white agate]

i know

[white agate]

probably will need to wait for people to do tests, tho some said lex 2 , york 2 and kea are the new meta fleet

[tiny mason]

[uneven knot]

ty twin

[cobalt robin]

who are you guys using for 1:1

[stray crane]

pasadena good ?

[hot turret]

I see, is York II in the current event pool?

[cobalt robin]

its an elite, i dont know if theres anything special to her

[stray crane]

i use cassin and unicorn

[viscid swift]

no

[onyx flame]

no, she got added to perma so heavy/special/perma ur exchange

[tulip tinsel]

they should have made pasa into ur and not shitty d 🥀

[cobalt robin]

using ranger and cassin to clear the normal stages rn

[stray crane]

how about cowpen ?

[viscid swift]

looks decent

[cobalt robin]

i was so excited for the first fletcher class ur and then they make her a meme unit

[hot turret]

I see, prob not going to focus on her then for now, I already have retrofit Unicorn which is amazing and I'm currently trying to retrofit Essex for my main fleet

[onyx flame]

i hope you got essex retro item

[stray crane]

my alt can only do D3 rn

[cobalt robin]

with uni and cassin?

[stray crane]

No

those for normal stages

[ivory pawn]

+1 CV RLD.

[cobalt robin]

i mean normal stages are easy

[hot turret]

I do but I can't find any T3 Carrier Retrofit Blueprints lol, I only have 3 runs a day in hardcore and my luck is terrible so far, I'm going to try and unlock higher stage hardcore soon

[white agate]

what is hardcore?

[cobalt robin]

if you havent cleared all stages, 3 starring x-4 will give you 2 gold carrier prints

[white agate]

guild shop occasionally has those too, also hard mode 3 star clears

[cobalt robin]

he meant hard mode

[static harbor]

How does the event plane compare to the Skyraider?

[viscid swift]

it doesn't

[cobalt robin]

its not even better than helldiver

[hot turret]

x-4, which chapter is that?

[static harbor]

OOF

[viscid swift]

almost at exact opposite ends of the spectrum

[white agate]

all chapters after the 7 with stage 4, should be in the missions

[proper violet]

X is any

[cobalt robin]

x-4 just means the 4th stage in any chapter

[stray crane]

so cleveland meta is a map drop ?

[hot turret]

oh ok

I'll look into it then

[cobalt robin]

getting 3 stars in a hard mode stage gives you clear rewards in the missions tab

[white agate]

isn't there a lower level/stage where you get only purple ones for 3*?
