[sharp socket]

isnt it kears wanting yorkii and not the other way around

[atomic abyss]

Alpha since when did York2 have a meta

[wind hazel]

bb might be easier for you

[turbid marsh]

think york2 returned in light armour number 1 XD

[viscid swift]

More like Lexington and Yorktown are a Yuri couple wanting each other now

[stark quiver]

oh shit i meant yorktown meta

[stark quiver]

0 +13 guns btw
and no meck

[wind hazel]

yuri in my hetero harem game? blasphemy

[wind hazel]

you're fucked on both end then LOL

[atomic abyss]

As always I ask

[sharp socket]

just 2 shot alpa the oil is a rounding error anyway

[ocean terrace]

that's what gph is for though
or do I go run my own tests with ships I don't have

[atomic abyss]

If you're not close to one shotting
And you're already two shotting consistently

Does it really matter anymore

[forest palm]

prior to Lexii, Yorkii and Kears heavily relied on one another for viablility that much is true

[verbal plinth]

just get other people to clear for you /s

[wind hazel]

i can help 💪🏼 100% clear rate

[stark quiver]

come to amagi

[sharp socket]

i love 0 shotting meta fight

[wind hazel]

im busy helping sam and lars in washington bye 🦅

[whole crypt]

how do I go from 98% oneshot to 99.9% without kursk

[verbal plinth]

let others waste a couple mins fighting meta

[rapid shard]

Should I go ahead and MLB Lex2 or finish Unzen? Can get a total of 6 bulins right now. (Unzen was dupes from going for Owari)

[turbid marsh]

momo and kurumi works. traf + laffey2

[rapid summit]

Is there a time schedule for when new UR releases?

[turbid marsh]

end of feb, end of may, end of september, end of december

[stark quiver]

i dont use kurumi
i forgot to get her skin and oath

[atomic abyss]

For the past few years
New URs have come in Feb, May, Sep and Dec

So roughly every 3 months

[viscid swift]

If you have no aspirations of clearing w15 soon sure

I'd probably just do Lexington 2 though

[wind hazel]

i dropped kurumi too, this has been working so far, truly AA issue

[stark quiver]

is it reliable

[viscid swift]

Yes

[wind hazel]

yes

[forest palm]

this is why I just go for the bare minimum that gets me a 75

[viscid swift]

I use it

Does not conflict with PvP at all

[stark quiver]

ok bet
wait ok not bet

[viscid swift]

Don't even need to change Laffey 2's gears

[rapid summit]

Okk Ty

[slow fox]

-# 230% efficiency
-# 45% AABoost
-# 300 base AA
-# Am I missing anything

[viscid swift]

Me?

[sweet delta]

Smooth

[rapid summit]

Soyuz rerun happening in feb or after?

[slow fox]

-# WDP aa 😭

[rapid shard]

Should get Willy D tomorrow. Would she be worth MLBing based on rainbows i got?

[ocean terrace]

after, probably april

[opaque galleon]

Is lex 2 better than implacable as a slow for general use?

[viscid swift]

We don't know, I'd expect later than Feb though given Zero to Hero is next after Guam

[viscid swift]

Probably not

I still need to think on my firm opinion of her

[opaque galleon]

Her skills looked somewhat underwhelming to me but idk where she stands among other carriers atm

[rapid shard]

I know shes still up in the air so figured id get your opinion lol. I aint in a rush so ill wait for your verdict

[rigid onyx]

you have like 3 weeks for the opinion on willyd to solidify before you have to make definitive statements about her worth

[viscid swift]

My thoughts are right now I can't see using her for anything currently over existing ships in relevant content

[rigid onyx]

there will always be people who will test them more thoroughly in the meantime whether the currnet consensus is correct or not

[warped acorn]

for the event stages, shall i just do hard or normal for early progressing instead?

[opaque galleon]

This is for Willy D or Lexington?

[rapid shard]

Willy

[viscid swift]

It could fit both honestly

[opaque galleon]

I figured

[viscid swift]

Like

[rigid onyx]

lexington good in pvp probably

[rapid summit]

Oh alr ty

[viscid swift]

Lexington is just a case of where the numbers land

And Willy D is somewhat dependent on that

[sweet delta]

Cancel the Wichita test, she will just melt without your nerfing your fleet, and nerfing makes bias

[opaque galleon]

Is triple USS carrier is worse than two carriers with kearsarge?

[sweet delta]

Certainly!

[opaque galleon]

Also does it even compete with BBs at this point?

[viscid swift]

That's what we don't know

[blissful hamlet]

I'd use triple carrier since kearsarge don't have freeze

[rigid onyx]

they are at least comparable on paper

[viscid swift]

And we won't know for a while given there's no relevant light armor boss to test on

[blissful hamlet]

There's arbiter

[verbal plinth]

safe to pull and wait imo

[rigid onyx]

arbiter is content from half a decade ago

[verbal plinth]

arbiter falls over to everything

[blissful hamlet]

[viscid swift]

Serenity being Serenity as usual

[blissful hamlet]

Bro is cooking

[rigid onyx]

serenity may have issues with arbiter

[blissful hamlet]

Anyway I'd use triple carrier over kearsarge

[rigid onyx]

id use ranger and just never lose the roll

[ocean terrace]

thought the argument was Kear vs Lion~
with Lex II and Yk II

[blissful hamlet]

Kear vs lion is not comparable

[rigid onyx]

it probably depends on if you need eld or not

[viscid swift]

That's just in the fleet

[blissful hamlet]

Each have different uses

[viscid swift]

The wider problem is determining which fleet takes top spot against light armor

[proper violet]

Does unicorn use fastest planes or wyvern pancake

[viscid swift]

And there's more than just USN in contention here

[ocean terrace]

BB fleet is Fritz Lion Als right?

[stark quiver]

fritz is no bb

[blissful hamlet]

CV always have top spot vs light armor

[viscid swift]

Well that's a fleet yes

[south sequoia]

There isnt exactly a good testing ground here either, so it'll take quite awhile for results to roll in as well

[viscid swift]

Hahahahhahahaha serenity never changes

[proper violet]

Should unicorn use fastest planes or the usual suspects

[south sequoia]

Whos the january EX boss?

[atomic abyss]

The usual suspects

[proper violet]

Gotcha love you

[stark quiver]

bro
literally just test antilight on heavy armor and compare results 🧠

[rigid onyx]

fritz lion als carried two meta fights but sometimes theres extra mechanics and viability fits to those mechanics

[viscid swift]

.....

[ocean terrace]

thought that was the go-to vs light though

[south sequoia]

[opaque galleon]

BBs are competitive/bis against all content besides heavy bosses that don’t move iirc

[atomic abyss]

There's a difference between BB fleet and best light fleet

[viscid swift]

Aye

[atomic abyss]

It is true that Fritz has featured in the best light fleets

[ocean terrace]

then what consists of BB light fleet

[stark quiver]

alsace, zwei , lion

[south sequoia]

Alsace Lion zwei

[opaque galleon]

Lion Alsace Zwei

[south sequoia]

[ocean terrace]

ah I see

[viscid swift]

Anyway

[stark quiver]

we call mixed hull fleets hybrid fleets

[viscid swift]

It's just something to put on the back burner for a few months

[south sequoia]

Do we have any ex light armored bosses for jan - march?

[stark quiver]

uhhh

[rigid onyx]

same as hakuhou ig

[viscid swift]

Ex fights are abnormal in their length

[atomic abyss]

Clearly we shd be testing against helmet

[viscid swift]

And at this point we basically only care about performance in META showdowns

[opaque galleon]

I don’t think anti-light CVs could one shot the last meta boss though I may be off mark there

[stark quiver]

we do have cm bosses

[rigid onyx]

whats the meta fight that basically feels like oumi was designed to be good at

[atomic abyss]

I mean in all honesty if bosses are melting then you would probably want to nerf the fleets to begin with

[ocean terrace]

probably no point using oil from storage for this event right?
also if that's the case, when would I use storage oil?

[sinful relic]

would i be able to invest in cleveland meta? (i like cleveland)

[atomic abyss]

Worth using

[slow fox]

-# :mutuskinothavingit:
-# Where aa proof

[atomic abyss]

You are able to invest
May not be the best investment ofc

If you like it just invest tho

[viscid swift]

and the meta literally will be medium armor for the next few months

[verbal plinth]

wait till end of event to see how many dupes you get before buying shop

[sinful relic]

im prob not gonna roll anymore, unless 1 roll per day, since i got everyone BUT cleveland.

[rigid onyx]

ultimately since this is a waifu game i recommend following best practices for the first 3 months of an account and then you can invest in whoever

[atomic abyss]

If she waifu for you just roll

Better than you regretting 2 years later

[viscid swift]

She's in the shop

[stark quiver]

why roll when u can buy

[rigid onyx]

clevem is map drop no?

[ivory sigil]

-# the duality of men

[atomic abyss]

Or rather farm

Well in this case farm

I meant moreso in general

[viscid swift]

Seriously, check your obtainment methods before rolling

[stark quiver]

hmm

[atomic abyss]

In any case

[stark quiver]

good idea cheeky

[rigid onyx]

me when i see a new player roll the banner for the map drop thinking they need to sweep

[atomic abyss]

I think AL has gotten to the point with URs like we did with SRs a few years ago

[viscid swift]

Don't be that one guy who wasted 600 cubes trying to get Kii

[stark quiver]

who was that

[warped acorn]

guys shall i do hard or easy to speedrun getting d6

[viscid swift]

Shop ship on Nano's event

[verbal plinth]

if kii was my waifu id do it

[atomic abyss]

Someone very unluckii

[stark quiver]

i mean who was the guy

[verbal plinth]

ahh was shop

[viscid swift]

Don't remember

[rigid onyx]

i did easy 1:1 min oil fleets until d3

[warped acorn]

but what mode u choose

[bleak junco]

Yooo…. Should I max LB Willy??

[atomic abyss]

Not unless you're rolling in bulins

[viscid swift]

Probably not

[bleak junco]

I am actually

[ocean terrace]

UR bulins? how many

[rigid onyx]

will laffey 2 be the first rerun with a shop ur

[viscid swift]

Yes

[rigid onyx]

maybe theyll make it easier to mlb

[bleak junco]

Right now I have 8, and I can buy 9 more if I wanted lol

[ocean terrace]

go for it then

[viscid swift]

Unless you have a massive backlog to get through dunno why you're asking

[ivory sigil]

yeah mlb her i mean u even buy the skin of willy whatelse can stopping u at this point?

[atomic abyss]

Oh well back to fixing up my ichika figure
See y'all

[deft hull]

would a laffey II/halford/baltimore vanguard work well with kear/lexii/yorkii?

[rigid onyx]

not mlbing a ship when you have spare ur bulins is~~ almost as~~ more brainrot as bulding 2

[deft hull]

not sure if baltimore is better suited to buffing a heavy damage dealer like essex instead

[viscid swift]

Define well

[atomic abyss]

(I'm back briefly)
I would sooner take out Halford first

[viscid swift]

It's certainly not optimal

[rigid onyx]

sounds like you're trying to faction fleet

[deft hull]

I started last may so missing a lot of UR options

[viscid swift]

Trafalgar would be an easy slot in for one

And William D shines in such a fleet

[warped acorn]

what is lex2 good at

[ivory sigil]

bruh 600 cube for an SR

does that mean if i fail to get Cowpen i would get similar issue ????

[deft hull]

kind of, not set on it but it does tickle my ocd 😂

[verbal plinth]

you could reallly unlucky

[viscid swift]

Kii was the 0.5% shop ship

[deft hull]

ohh that's good to know, I wasn't sure how worthwhile traf's buff was for kearsarge

[viscid swift]

That's why it was a complete and utter waste

[rigid onyx]

map drops are .5% while non map drop srs are 20% 2%

iirc bottom 5% rng puts you at around 450 cubes?

mean to sweep a banner not including map drop is 206 cubes

[viscid swift]

2% you mean

[rigid onyx]

yeah typo

[bleak junco]

Just in case….. I actually don’t know why I asked but I guess I wanted to make sure I really wanted to do it

[deft hull]

yeah I haven't got her dev 30 yet but I liked the idea of making the BBV and destroyer with a plane work together but not sure she's really providing a whole lot of value, i'll have to read willy d's skills but UR bullins in short supply

[ivory sigil]

-# yeah u're my only that inspire me to build willie D

-# until get roasted by metawise

[clear harbor]

Do HVARs drop from any enemy in D3? Or just the boss?

[deft hull]

does sirius buff to CVs stack with baltimores?

[stark quiver]

yeah

is momos UA important to this fight @viscid swift

[viscid swift]

Not sure

[sweet delta]

Considering that it doubles the number of minions

[viscid swift]

Why....

[rigid onyx]

iirc elites and boss

[deft hull]

once I get lexii built I'll have to try sirius/balti then ty guys

[stark quiver]

so i need her aug

[sleek flower]

how many free ur vouchers do we get per day? 10?

[viscid swift]

From dailies yes

[errant mauve]

Is Ulrich better at mobbing than FDG

[viscid swift]

No

[errant mauve]

[sweet delta]

Is there a mini game?

[viscid swift]

No

[true zenith]

are SSR comissions worth it?

[sweet delta]

Where did the usual mini game UR vouchers go?

[viscid swift]

Missions to clear event stages X number of times

I think the highest was 60

[stark quiver]

As it turns I can’t power of money this thing

[sinful relic]

so somehow, i made my mob fleet stronger than my boss fleet. im confused.

[tidal meteor]

Also clear B3/D3 with the other event ships

[warped acorn]

what is lex2 good at

[slow fox]

-# your heart

[vale spindle]

pin updated with usual event stuff

[viscid swift]

Iight armor

[short geyser]

What is this... I just opened Akashi's shop and I think I got thrown a walnut.

[rapid grail]

lex2 loadout at mlb?

[rain bobcat]

depends what you want to use her on

[cobalt gate]

welp i always have 30 bars left for yorktown meta

[rapid grail]

i mean what planes she can equip

[rain bobcat]

fighter/db/any

[rapid grail]

plane distribution? same as yk2n?

just give me it, the pc lags with emu + disc + web browser setup

[lofty thistle]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[rapid grail]

thanks

[slim hinge]

What's the armor type of the boss in SP stage for this event? I need to clear SP before the daily reset.

[ivory sigil]

I dont get what u mean

Compare to spamming oil in DAL Section6 map
-# which only help me drop more purple Aviation Oil Tank
This D3 does give some Golden looking Plane
There were some purpleplane too
-# but those are Hellcat and idk if they good

Meanwhile the event shop does had okayish items, maybe the coin isnt as wise as doing MainChapter, so lets just do Mainchapter when u got all the necessary item in shop
-# unless if u only want the best gear and ignore the midgear and midship then

[cobalt gate]

the plane is good

for light armor

[atomic abyss]

I mean the issue moreso is Halford is horrendous by PR standards
At that point you're better off using a Helena even
Assuming you're actually sticking with USS

And not a semi optimal fleet

[slim hinge]

Does anyone know what the armor type of the boss in SP stage?

[eternal moth]

I only have 3 LA-9s at the moment, not 4. What's the best replacement for YorMet, assuming I'm using Soy/Nakh/Fritz?

[atomic abyss]

Light

[slim hinge]

Thanks

[rain bobcat]

isn't it just bf109

[atomic abyss]

It should be

[atomic abyss]

German rocket plane

So BF-109G

[cobalt gate]

am i doing something wrong or is yorktown meta just hard to kill in 1 hit

[atomic abyss]

She is yes

[eternal moth]

On Fritz, Nakh, or it doesn't matter? I'm checking calcs right now

[atomic abyss]

Fritz has better fighters

So prioritise the the LA-9s on her

[cobalt gate]

sadly don't think i can 1 hit this meta, missing 30 bars of hp, i don't think that has happened in a while

[ivory sigil]

U use Kursh?

[cobalt gate]

i'm using momo + kukuri

[onyx flame]

kursk been fixed

[turbid marsh]

yeee so i use momo instead. laf traf momo

[cobalt gate]

what is traf for? just slow?

[turbid marsh]

im pretty sure traf summons 2, all round support. if i remember right ofc. doesn't matter cause i one shot anyways

[cobalt gate]

traf summons?

[turbid marsh]

nvm its the support

[eternal moth]

Fritz top damage in SoNaRu, does that sound right?

[indigo cargo]

should i get shinano from the beginner mission thing

[onyx flame]

yea but only when you need 1 last copy to mlb her other wise she just be taking up dock space

[cobalt rapids]

Yes, its 🎲 between her and cat

[frigid linden]

Is the event dive bomber better than the helldiver?

[cobalt rapids]

Its a faster suisei with better dmg

If timing isnt important use helldiver

[scarlet cosmos]

do you guys think cowpens can replace aquila's role as secondary healer?

[cobalt rapids]

No

[hardy whale]

whats project identity and island planner for?

[stark quiver]

side gamemodes for personal interest

[hardy whale]

does it help the main game?

[bold haven]

Who should I replace for cowpen or keep it and doesn't change?

[wind hazel]

2nd fleet

assuming you gonna mlb that lexii

otherwise kick off lexii and only use when she's mlb

same goes for the 🐮

[bold haven]

Hold on i new who is lexii?

[onyx flame]

lexington 2, left of kotori

[bold haven]

Thanks

[wind hazel]

[nimble cypress]

Lexington 2, the new banner UR from the event.

[onyx flame]

real talk where the unicorn thou

[wind hazel]

TRUE

that escaped me lolol where's unicorn

[hardy whale]

any PR ship i should focus on getting

icl i just want becus wife

[rain mesa]

any recommended lineup for yorktown meta fight?

[fiery swan]

I got lexii and have enough urin for both her and the shop DD, should I immediately MLB her to use in D3

[muted wind]

do you have any other URs?

[fiery swan]

All of them except Unzen, and the sub is the only one not MLB

[muted wind]

oh yeah then may as well limit break them. william may not be super useful in that situation, but unless you want to raise i-404, i don't see a downside

[fiery swan]

Do I prioritize William or I-404 (already use the meta sub + the two gold Italians as sub fleet)

[sinful nymph]

Are we able to change our choice afterwards?..

What even is the canon option?

[onyx flame]

you can see both option in the memories later

[muted wind]

i-404 is really only a priority if you want to call her into combat. honestly, either works, do what you prefer

[safe nexus]

what is CM and hard arbiter?

[hollow gust]

Challenge mode, and the opsi boss in the middle

[safe nexus]

oh ok thx

[wicked sluice]

Who should I mlb next, not for any specific content just whoever is best overall

[hollow gust]

Theoretically it’s time to work on Lexington and Yorktown

[wicked sluice]

Ill get to work then

[tidal finch]

is lexington 2 good?

[inland shoal]

Yes, but excels at a niche that is not relevant right now

[strange sphinx]

Hmmmm now what's next, I got all the banner ships, should I prioritize event now ?

[gilded carbon]

so, Lex2, YK2 and who else in their comp? Kearsage?

[strong tartan]

kearsarge or lion I think

[gilded carbon]

i dont have Lion, so work on Kear it could be. With 300-ish BPs i can start her soon, i suppose

[icy creek]

Hello can someone explain to me how does the bonus bp in research work ? Sometimes I get one sometimes not

[rain bobcat]

rng to get more prints of the same person with the D face

[light trail]

how many ur bulins do we get per month

[rapid shard]

Roughly 2.5 from all sources

[onyx flame]

per month 2 from spec cores, 0.5 from cruise pass
another 1 if there ur event

[light trail]

wonderful ty

[sinful relic]

question, is it possible for me to just straight up skip PR1? im getting so many USS ships i may just be able to go for Ankourage. (idk how to spell her name)

[onyx flame]

~~there also another for 37usd in the shop ~~

[onyx flame]

ya only reason you start on pr1 is cause new players lack faction tech to unlock the more useful ones later on

[hollow plank]

so from the PR series, who's like the top 3 to go for in what order? Thank you! ( I don't have any new ones from pr 2 onwards)

[keen zealot]

How good are the new ships?

[light trail]

i have 52k protocores once i max out and i'll have 1 more now and 1 more next rerun so that puts me at 15 by next rerun, almost 4 URs. that should cover guam, laffey2, soyuz, and next new UR so i guess probably i keep saving and say fuck WDP right?

[rain bobcat]

wdp is ok, lexi 2 is good for antilight (how good? well sucks to suck there's no light boss rn lul)

[keen zealot]

we just have a light boss meta last session

Bruh

[drifting pike]

Is it more oil-efficient to spam D3 or to do A1-B3 daily for the x3 multiplier?

[onyx flame]

anchorage, agir ,fdg are the noteable for new player then afterwards depends ig there no real order persay just depends what you can start working on cause faction tech

[rain bobcat]

yeah and guess what that hakuhou a heavy only CV was released during a light boss while lexi 2 is released during med boss

magnificent planning by devs

[hollow plank]

i am an old player / returning one so I can go through til pr 8, if this is the case, would you still recommend the same chars? or different ones since I have enough faction tech for all? Thank you! ❤️ I hav eno clue what i'm doing rn lol

[rain bobcat]

3 b2b cleve meta where is my hvar prints

[onyx flame]

ehh i would still do anchorage, agir and fdg is a lil up in the air depending on what you have the rest just depends if what you have/need like if you need a freeze for a cv vomp but dont got implac, there avp, need more AA carries shimanto or gouden but you also need to be able to dev 30 or even fs5 em for them to be useful

[weak elk]

how much gold should u use per day for development

i have been doing 10 times worth

[rain bobcat]

depends how rich you are, 10 is common

[muted wind]

10 is a good middleground where it's not super grindy but also not super slow. how much you can/want to do depends entirely on how your coin supply looks like in the end

[onyx flame]

i rmb seeing somewhere for dr if you buy 15 bps instead of 10 you double the coin cost but dont even half the time spent

[muted wind]

-# efficiency is relative

[rigid onyx]

get more dock space wth

[muted wind]

20-30 free slots is enough, honestly

[rain bobcat]

it is but it's cringe

[rigid onyx]

do be at 360 with that many urs i feel like theyd have to have had scrapped ships

[muted wind]

-# i run on that much free space, just gotta retire ships every repeat or 2

[white agate]

me when below 100 free slots

[rain bobcat]

suffering on a daily basis

[onyx flame]

seem reasonable if they started around en anni tbh

the amount of perma ur is a lil dubious thou

[muted wind]

actually, that's not quite true. when an event starts, i end up spending my stored up bulins and i get more like 30-40 free slots

[vale spindle]

i used to be that guy with only 20-30ish free slots, then i somehow won discord events and got gems so now i have like 50-60 free slots

[muted wind]

-# i whale on this game i'm just not feeling like buying slots preemptively

[vale spindle]

i can safely keep 1 copy of every ship no issues with 900 dock space (for now) we will see how that goes in the future

[mighty nexus]

are the URs in the event good yall, if so then how

i'm hoping that lexington 2 has good synergy eith enterprise or nj

[white agate]

when was the dock increase gem price?

[vale spindle]

2k dock space

[white agate]

also my game freeze vs arbiter wtf

[muted wind]

lex2 synergizes well with yorktown 2 mostly
-# enterprise also kinda but not as much

[white agate]

is it a known bug?
its a pvp freeze type

[onyx flame]

new attack directly on hardware

[muted wind]

bluestacks?

[white agate]

phone

[mighty nexus]

yawgh, shame bc i'm trying to have an eagle fleet.

what about william D porter

[muted wind]

okay phone is unusual.

[mighty nexus]

in need of a good damage dealer aside from yuudachi and tashkent

[muted wind]

i'd say william is more so a support. i think she still deals better damage than those two, but that's not a super high bar

[mighty nexus]

good to hear, i need to boost my lackluster vanguards

main fleet's vanguard has tohka and unzen but mobbing fleet is just... a nothing burger

[muted wind]

vanguard damage is generally not the highest thing. the bulk of your damage will come from your main fleet anyways

[hollow plank]

when sorting or showing people here on the help page the ships I have, would it be easier to sort by level or rarity? or by MLB( is that even possible?) Thanks! 😄

[mighty nexus]

i'm saying it like that the mobbing fleet dies bc owari and my main fleet's passives kept killing everything before unicorn's airstrike even heal them

i dont know how that happens, it does and it kept bleeding them more than they heal

[muted wind]

suffering from success

[mighty nexus]

san diego is appreciated but i dont have the coins to retrofit her, im trying to get at least one of the ships on banner to get william d porter faster

[muted wind]

I'd say rarity sort makes it easier to figure out what you have

[mighty nexus]

also i have ZERO cruiser blueprints🫩

[muted wind]

are you doing the right hard mode stage for cruiser bps?

[onyx flame]

is your unicorn not retro? she comes with a prelaod so you always get 1 heal off regardles

[mighty nexus]

weeelllll no, i barely do hard mode aside from getting dailies done

[mighty nexus]

not yet, coins are scarce rn for me

[onyx flame]

are you not doing your 3 run everyday?
also uni retro is like prio no 1

[mighty nexus]

yeah i just knew of that, too late, and now im trying to get a good mob fleet to do ch9+

should be halfway already, but still far from a retrofit

oh wait i have perseus, does she have a preload

or heal with airstrikes

[onyx flame]

she does but your just spreading your resource thinner by raising her when you alr got uni

[mighty nexus]

yeah okay, good idea to focus on uni then

[sinful relic]

heya, so ive been grinding more, trying to get more stuff and im wondering. is laffey or saratoga worth retrofitting? and is rodney worth keeping (for w12)

[muted wind]

i'd retro independence before bothering with saratoga (unless you already have). rodney is probably fine to keep for w12 if you don't have any alternatives, but w12 also has no suicide ships so you can do CV-only main fleets if that's easier

[white agate]

saratoga kinda decent, laaffey not worth it when laffey 2 in a month

yt meta is heavy or medium armor?

[muted wind]

medium

[sinful relic]

currently my main units, everything thats SR ill be keeping, its only laffey, saratoga, and rodney im thinking of either swapping in the future. then again whenever i make a 3rd fleet for opsi ill think more. i dont have independence

[muted wind]

independence is in the core shop

[sinful relic]

noted

[weak elk]

what ship is recommended for world 13

[onyx flame]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/#chapter-13

[sinful relic]

actually, i dont think ill get independence anytime soon.

[white agate]

am i the only one having this weird bug where sometimes after a lot of auto the game breaks and loading a battlle takes like 12 seconds instead of the usual 3?

[sinful relic]

wait, was one of these worth getting? ive been saving the stuff allot and i can buy about half of them.

[weak elk]

oof... plane heavy gotta bring sandy and z46 then... problem is cv wise i only have enterprise unicorn hakuhou and graf, the rest are... iffy....

[rain bobcat]

save enough for 50 prints and buy tenrai or buy 0

[onyx flame]

only if you can afford the 50 bps at once

[rain bobcat]

water dripping 1 print at a time is useless

[lofty thistle]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[sinful relic]

gotcha. i think ill wait for the reset, so i can get the rest of the series 3 and 5 weapons for nelson and alabama

[weak elk]

no wonder why unicorn sunked ...

[icy creek]

Hello, what do u use for 1:1 in D3 ? Currently using kurumi and unicorn but wondering if there are others

[lofty thistle]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[white agate]

eldridge uni works too, issue is i think kurumi uses less oil than eldkai?

[weak elk]

left it in auto and everything disapeared anyway thx

[icy creek]

Just check 10 for Eldridge and 11 for kurumi.

[white agate]

eldridge non kai or kai?

[icy creek]

Well If I can have another combo not using unicorn

[white agate]

maybe perseus eldkai? not really sure if it works

[rain bobcat]

lexi 2 kurumi because I need to lvl lexi

[rain bobcat]

perseus costs more and def doesn't work

[white agate]

perseus retrofit when

[icy creek]

Ok I guess I may be using Eldridge uni and Lexi kurumi

[white agate]

what cross fleet and gears? lvl 10 gears and good crossfleet?

[rain bobcat]

no crossfleet needed technically

full rocket build

[white agate]

kurumi lvl 125 and lexi lvl 70 lb 2 works?

[icy creek]

Do u need to mlb Lexi 2 ?

[rain bobcat]

if you use crossfleet then its musashi alsace essex 2

[rain bobcat]

of course. lowest I've gone was lvl90 lexi 2

[white agate]

essex kai crossfleet so strong?

[rain bobcat]

no, you simply need a CV cross lol

[icy creek]

Ok I will try

[rain bobcat]

hardmode restriction

[white agate]

and full roket build for kurumi right? she uses the event roket i guss?

[white agate]

amagi?

[rain bobcat]

essex xfleet is ok, but definitely not musashi soyuz alsace level

[white agate]

amagi cf was good too i remember

[rain bobcat]

any of amagi essex fritz lol

[icy creek]

For me I use musashi, Shimano, unzen xfleet

And when I get D I may add it too

[sinful relic]

i wish to use amagi SR but i heard shes pretty bad? still gonna collect for waifu purposes though

[white agate]

use amagi ur

[sinful relic]

lemme wait a year

[rapid summit]

513 bp for kearsarge right? Like every other dr?

[white agate]

unless she got fate sim yeah

[rapid summit]

Ty

[cunning bone]

where i can get maury??? i "accidently" scrap her when i got here when i did the mission

[boreal wagon]

light build

[cunning bone]

no other option?

[boreal wagon]

none

[cunning bone]

rip, then i have to wait when wishing well is back

[upbeat wagon]

Who should I use for crossfleet here?

[brave trail]

yall know which UR rerun next year 26-27?

[white agate]

sashi,fritz,z52,impla(impla cf kinda non existent)

[onyx flame]

right to left

[brave trail]

ty

[white agate]

laffii,guam,soyuz,alsace,mogador ???

[onyx flame]

minus eldridge obv

[brave trail]

brah im missing out of laffey for way too long

missed her banner back then

[white agate]

wait, who did disable the modify text option from game help

[upbeat wagon]

what abt raff?

[cobalt rapids]

if u have slots use all of the mlb ones
if u have to pick 3 main then its musashi raff and fritz

[white agate]

she has crossfleet? i remember being deluded by another underwhelming sardigna ur i kinda forgot everything about her

[upbeat wagon]

ic ty lots @white agate

[white agate]

the ur sub crossfleet is decent yes?

[rigid onyx]

what do people use to 1:1 sp these days

ur sub xfleet is 10% hit its lowkey insane

[cobalt rapids]

anshan uni like the beginning of times

[rain bobcat]

uni+1 or smth

[rigid onyx]

and just barrage xfleet spam

[upbeat wagon]

in 1:1 do you kill the boss with the 1:1 as well or does the cf fleet kill it

[rain bobcat]

<-

[cobalt rapids]

cf costs too much oil

[rain bobcat]

cf is like +20 oil if you let it boss lol

[rigid onyx]

+60

[cobalt rapids]

u either 1:1 mob and 1:1 boss if weak or 1:1 all + cf

[hollow plank]

Yoshiklee needs help! Getting my ships in a row.

[upbeat wagon]

i got lexington ii, is she good? should i keep pulling or that's enough (I don't have coins anymore 😓)

[hollow plank]

https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1451522418106564698 Hello! sending over the thread I made here for some various questions to help me get sorted out / started once more as a returning player. 😄 If anyone can provide any input at all on any of my inquiries there, I'd greatly apprecaite it!

Thank you so much!

[fluid flower]

Just one copy is enough just get ultra rare bulins

[tulip tinsel]

only really worth it to pull when you have a ton of cube and no bulin

[warm cliff]

oh so i don't need to get the other characters on the banner?

[fluid flower]

Yes its optional ||unless you like them||

[brisk osprey]

would any of these chars be worth adding to my fleet?

[tulip tinsel]

san Diego

[brisk osprey]

also is meta boise worth adding

[fluid flower]

San diego

[brisk osprey]

bet who should i swap her out with?

[tulip tinsel]

only if you can mlb her

[fluid flower]

The vanguard ship on the upper right

[tulip tinsel]

london shit get her out

[brisk osprey]

london?

[fluid flower]

Yes

[hollow plank]

thanks! tagged you on a thread where my ships are 😄

[brisk osprey]

thank you

ill slap london and meta boise in fleet 2 or smt

[tulip tinsel]

don't use boise meta, don't bother with 2fleets until like w9 or 12

[brisk osprey]

damn but i dont have enough ammo to clear all the fleets in normal missions

[sinful relic]

you can still clear them with one fleet without ammo

[white agate]

was 490 gems the minimum price for an oath ring btw?

or were there better offers excluding the free ones obviously

[brisk osprey]

can you wht does ammo do then?

[tulip tinsel]

If you're out of ammo you do 50%less dmg

[sinful relic]

no ammo means do less damage, i think it was 50% less damage, but it doesnt make a difference on lower end worlds

[brisk osprey]

also please tell me impero and volga are good

[tulip tinsel]

volga usable impero shit

[hot scaffold]

Guild rodney meta without unzen

[brisk osprey]

fuck impero is my fav ship so far

[tulip tinsel]

since she's mlb she can be usable with decent gear

retrofit unicorn

[brisk osprey]

whelp guess im just going to have to save up till i can afford to max a banner

[cunning bone]

if i oath yorktown 2 will i get her oath skin???

[rain bobcat]

yes

[hollow plank]

https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1451522418106564698 Can someone please help check my ships and suggest a good mob and boss fleet? I'd really appreciate it!

Taking future PR ships into consideration and the new UR lexii or other ships I just got. (also on the screenshots) Thank you so much!!! ❤️

The thread is quite long but you can just answer whatever you want / can.

[white agate]

should be possible yes

[warm cliff]

who can i retire

[white agate]

man got abandoned by the help channel

[white agate]

all the blues you can easily get again, also invest some gems in dockspace

if possible use pinks dupes to lb pinks so as to free more space

[ivory sigil]

quick answer: if you are a new player i suggest you retire most of the one duplicate of that commons/rare/elite that appear usually

long answer:
-did ask the same question 8hours ago, i thought they can be keep for fleet tech, then i got roasted since i was a newplayer try to think about keeping them. The fleet-tech stuff only you should consider when you're like 3-5 years old in Azurlane playing.
-# So yeah if you want to see abit of hint here is a picture of some Fleet tech character that give HIT fleet-tech point (click this message: #gameplay-help message)

[warm cliff]

thanks guys

[ivory sigil]

imo just retire those Blue rarity that had dupe, retire 1 and kept 1 like collection if u prefer

[sharp socket]

does cowpens have cv rld at 120 or only cvl rld

i couldnt tell you here even if i looked

but #game-news prolly does tell you

[rain bobcat]

it's technically live

oh just skin

[agile patrol]

a day has passed
how good is lexington II?

[blissful hamlet]

Too soon

[agile patrol]

impossible

[rain bobcat]

you can either trusdt maths coming up when suchi does it or give us another 6 months

there's no real practical test because light META just ended so we're gonna wait for anotehr 6months-1 year + to get any real hands on approach

[analog tendon]

What are these "oaths"?

[ivory sigil]

💍

[zenith heron]

May I know what is the current maxed rld tech count for CVs?

[boreal wagon]

44

[rain bobcat]

@stark quiver 10% chance and guess what

20k points, 2 hvar prints but already 4 clevelands

the map of all time

[woven star]

Unfortunately no hvar drops from B3.

WA maybe better solution for hvar in oil terms

[rapid shard]

18k points and 9 prints but zero Clevelands

[rain bobcat]

rng is one hell of a cunt huh

[upbeat wagon]

got cleveland meta from first sortie of 3 and its been sitting for 20 minutes grr

[rain bobcat]

im hitting the <0.75% chance 4 times but not the 10% chance

[rapid shard]

Had to hard pity Lex2 as well.... but got MLB Aquila pasa and cow from dupes in process lol

[rain bobcat]

that's quite good for you

you can use cow eldridge shimanto wdp mob in w15

[cobalt robin]

25k and 4 prints

[rapid shard]

Not gonna complain for the bulins saved but im at 4 cubes now lol

Whats your oil cost for your 1:1 x3 sortie setup btw

[rain bobcat]

576

but im also not full low costing

I have to use lexi 2 to get affinity

[rapid shard]

1:1 boss setup or full crossfleets? Im using uni/sandy with full boss and its only 538

[rain bobcat]

1:1 all fights

[upbeat wagon]

12k and 3 prints 👀

[white agate]

how, was there a banner that killed your cubes?

[rain bobcat]

im using 0 crossfleet to rig lexi 2 mvp

[cobalt robin]

My dream of getting 4 rocketcats is cucked by my amazing rng

[rain bobcat]

im currently 81 aff lvl 114

[white agate]

idk, i have 3, stil have to even build them

i use bb for light

[cobalt robin]

I started April so have 0

[rapid shard]

Yeah im holding off on leveling her, hoping for a dupe or 2 from a daily pull rest of event.

Whats the verdict on the shop plane?

[icy creek]

19k 12 print

[rapid shard]

Looks like poor man's tenrai

[white agate]

link to the tierlist per mode document? the one with the w14,w15 evaluations tho i don't need it for that

[cobalt robin]

It's mid, helldiver is better

to unlock we had to buy it for real ?

[rain bobcat]

?

if ur looking at the archive "???" quotes, those are affinity quotes

[analog tendon]

Wait, so part of the strategy for some endgame fights is straight up "Oath these ships to get a stat buff"?

[rapid summit]

I get you can get both ply gun and Hindenburg gun from the shop but which one is a bigger priority?

[tulip tinsel]

nah

/protocore

[odd root]

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

[wind hazel]

let's just say that's a thing

[tulip tinsel]

that's for the whales, it's doable even without oaths

[rain bobcat]

I mean before meck gun you'd have to gimp your BBs to get 4 salvo

typically meant having to run flandre gun or smth

[wind hazel]

if you have plymouth or other strong dps CL, then plygun

[rain bobcat]

fortunately with meck gun now, you can use it for 4 salvo without oathed BBs

[turbid dawn]

I just don't understand this damn Meta fight, all I'm missing is one lA-9 but I can only do 90 bars of health, like what am I doing wrong

Surely the single UR plane isn't going to be doing an extra 10 bars of HP

[white agate]

just be mindful oathing a ship can ruin her timing; so before oathing a meta ship think about things well or ask

[rain bobcat]

kurumi might rng you 3 clones

[wind hazel]

what is your sync

[rain bobcat]

momo could also be better than duis

[wind hazel]

your nakh is doing quite less than what i have

he doesnt have momo

[rain bobcat]

[turbid dawn]

Idk exactly what you mean but all basically fire at the same time

[wind hazel]

as in your soyuz and nakhimov are firing closely and triggering the freeze yes?

[turbid dawn]

100% yes

[wind hazel]

if sync is fine then it's really the bf109g not pulling enough dmg

this is what i have

[analog tendon]

Thanks for the warning, although if i know myself i'll probably still oath the ships i really like, proper timing be damned

[turbid dawn]

Without changing a single thing sometimes they go up to 93 bars of dmg done but I'm presumingf that's just RNG

[wind hazel]

ye, and duis isn't buffing anything else too

[warm cliff]

is this any good? i don't see it on the must haves

[wind hazel]

it's unique, just get it

[white agate]

wyverness

[turbid dawn]

Wdym? Her summons seem to be out when backline fires, unless they get destroyed

Oops wrong reply

[wind hazel]

duis isn't buffing your fleet

[rain bobcat]

try using helena

[wind hazel]

momo on the other hand has fleet wide buff and fp/avi buff

[warm cliff]

is it okay that i exchanged enterprise for lex 2?

[turbid dawn]

This was 2 procs but Helena ended up dying

87 bars I think it was

[iron berry]

Now that the event is out, I have Unzen LMB twice, only needs 2 final bullins to full LMB, but I also got Lexington 2 and will likely get shop UR girl. Who's prio to MLB?

[white agate]

@wind hazel was the cheapest price for an oath ring 490 gems?

[white agate]

would first prio important backliner ur over vanguards ur

[civic prairie]

may i know what plane is better to be used by lexii?

[wind hazel]

how would i know

[warm latch]

shes not mlb so no

[iron berry]

So Lex it is, no?

[warm cliff]

i understand why, thanks

[wind hazel]

normal or hard?

[ruby knot]

Defo hard

[hasty skiff]

whats most efficient way to level your ships

[undone plover]

Best deal u will get for oath rings is the oath crate 2 for 980 which makes it 490 each yeah

[wind hazel]

using them in sortie

[hasty skiff]

any stages the best or just the highest stage i can do

[wind hazel]

event D3 is good place

outside of event, 12-1 or 12-4 is good

[hasty skiff]

ok thanks

[abstract atlas]

which to pick?

[warm latch]

do you have musashi and is she mlb?

but also why are you pulling on perma pool when theres an event

[sharp echo]

Who should I limit break next

[abstract atlas]

i have

[sick kettle]

how good is cleve meta?

[undone plover]

eventually yeah but usually later
vanguard event UR table is still not perma
altho calling it their signature weapon is funny
it is more of their event weapon since usually there are no specific interactions between the weapon itself and the ship

[undone plover]

can u show your current best ships ranked by level?
are u trying to do sth specific?
push campaign?
get better bossing fleets?
OpSi?
farm fleet tech?

[warm latch]

and is shinano mlb too?

[abstract atlas]

yeah

[upbeat wagon]

How to achieve 20-25 oil 1:1, what ships do you use

[warm latch]

tbh it probably would be easier to just post your current ur ships

[undone plover]

musashi until she is MLB

[abstract atlas]

what is MLB?

[undone plover]

full star = max limit break

[warm latch]

max limit break, full stars

not mlb = shit

[undone plover]

get copy from perma pity saves u UR bulins for newer URs

[abstract atlas]

owww, i will do it after shimakaze full star

[undone plover]

i would skip shima tbh
she is not much used these days

[warm latch]

shima isnt that good, just focus on musashi

[abstract atlas]

shimakaze *5 no problem?

[warm latch]

no, shima is just not good

[undone plover]

no problem because she shouldnt be used

[abstract atlas]

owww okeii thank u

[abstract atlas]

can it be saved? will it not be lost?

[undone plover]

u can use 1 copy to limit break the main copy

[sharp echo]

No specific target, probably campaign.
No plan for siren (I know I'm missing out, just lazy xd)
Just trying to spend my bulin

[warm latch]

you use dupes to mlb perma urs, only use ur bulins on non perma urs

[warm latch]

same thing with your urs, those non mlb urs are just worse than mlb golds

[tulip tinsel]

mlb lion

[strange sphinx]

wait so D3 also drop HVAR? Also how's the Fighter in the event shop?

[abstract atlas]

yes, i'm just using bullins to limit break UR

[warm latch]

dont use them on perma urs

[gray sphinx]

yes and the plane in the shop isn't a fighter but a mehhhh dive bomber

[rain bobcat]

it's a DB and its just a worse but faster tenrai

[abstract atlas]

i'm still confused about this

[warm latch]

you save your ur bulins for new events

you dont use them on permanently available ur ships

[abstract atlas]

why?

for what?

[warm latch]

because new urs are stronger, most old urs are very powercrept

[upbeat wagon]

Do subs use oil to call?

[warm latch]

musashi is the only perma ur that it might be worth spending ur bulins on, but only if you really have no other options at all/no new ur events or no ur bb reruns coming soon

[abstract atlas]

maybe there's no hope left, i've used up all my cubes

[knotty jolt]

Another reason is UR bulins are time gated, you'r limited monthly. So why use a bulin when a dupe can work and you can use the bulin somewhere else

[undone plover]

well for 1 thing focus 1 full ship with bulins first then move on to next
like better have 1 Lion MLB than lion and z52 both 5 star

Now that that is out of the way
I would level these ships they are generally good

Lion, Zwei for URs
for non UR
probably san diego, owari, lyme are the best

[knotty jolt]

Crazy in this day we're suggesting a frigate tempesta girl

[undone plover]

• volga, D7P are good for later chapters

[abstract atlas]

so it's okay to use duplicates for limit break?

[knotty jolt]

It's prefered if possible

[undone plover]

not only okay
it is ideal

that is what duplicates should be used for

[abstract atlas]

ahh okei i understand

[strange sphinx]

ic, Thank you both

[sick kettle]

i kinda forgot, for Q and G research which is better between 1 and the 2 hours?

[abstract atlas]

how many cubes should i prepare to get the new hero later?

[undone plover]

Q 2h > Q 1h
G 2.5h is bad G1.5 is decent
so G 1.5 > G 2.5

[tulip tinsel]

400 atleast, not Hero ship

[alpine ermine]

Hi. I am commander level 19 and I just started playing a few days ago. Could someone please tell me how to get unicorn because I really need a healer I don’t know what to do about a healer.

[sharp echo]

ok, san diego owari and lyme.
ill buy the ur bullin now

[knotty jolt]

She's in the guild shop

[tulip tinsel]

guild shop

[abstract atlas]

....

[undone plover]

i forgot volga so so san diego > volga > lyme/owari/d7p (the dutch elf)

[knotty jolt]

the reason we say 400 is cause that's equal to pity

[alpine ermine]

AI told me on Google that she was in the guild shop but I tried looking and I couldn’t find find a guild shop. I’m really new and I have no idea how to find it. I play on an iPad.

[undone plover]

oh sry wrong reply i meant to reply to @sharp echo

[sick kettle]

thats for a guarantee if ur lucky enough it can be less

[tulip tinsel]

atleast

[upbeat wagon]

dont ask ai lmao

[rigid onyx]

shop --> supply --> guild --> elite ship

[tulip tinsel]

Shop supply guild shop elite ship should be first one

[undone plover]

rerun events come with free build tickets
15/01/2026 is guam event
dont worry too much just do your best for guam
after that u want to have ~300 cubes for end of february (new UR)

[knotty jolt]

god they're really not letting people's cubes rest huh?

[alpine ermine]

Thank you everybody for that. Is commander level 19 high enough to buy unicorn?

[rigid onyx]

you want her asap

[knotty jolt]

you start out with enough guild currency to buy her player level doesnt matter

[undone plover]

u can buy unicorn the minute guild shop is open
u start with a good amount of guild coins

and u dont need to join a guild to have access to the shop but u should join a guild soon

[tulip tinsel]

like 800 or smth

[sick kettle]

as long as you reach the level to unlock guild feature (which i dont remember) you can obtain her

[abstract atlas]

okeii thanks sir

[tulip tinsel]

should be available after tutorial

[alpine ermine]

Thank you again. You guys are nice.

[rain bobcat]

Q 4>2>1
G 4>1.5>2.5

[desert epoch]

Is EX a one-time thing?

[undone plover]

@alpine ermine read these guides for help
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

[rain bobcat]

one time 500 cog yes

[undone plover]

u do it once for the mission that gives 500 cog chips
u can repeat it if u want more high score

[knotty jolt]

It's just bragging rights imo

[desert epoch]

But doing it again will not give any more reward, right?

[rain bobcat]

good day 1 for me, 90aff 115

[alpine ermine]

This is a much nicer community than when I’m used to. I appreciate the help again thank you.

[rigid onyx]

what armor type is ex

[rain bobcat]

light

[desert epoch]

Gooners are often nice

[knotty jolt]

We're all with a similar goal after all

[abstract atlas]

anyone please help me arrange a line-up for PvP, i always lose against people of the same level as me

[sick kettle]

so, how good are cleve meta?

[wind hazel]

check #pvp

[rain bobcat]

ok

[desert epoch]

Do not ask what they'd do to L O L I s tho

[rain bobcat]

cleve meta is typical modern AL gold

not repulsive but not top tier gold

[abstract atlas]

i really don't understand this game, i played directly at level 70 because someone asked me to, then that person disappeared.

[wind hazel]

in short you dont have good ships for pvp. best i can see is swapping out shinano for preload with unicorn

[knotty jolt]

you don't need to fight most players with decked fleets, you can always just refresh for weaker opponents

[wind hazel]

pvp is very different altogether, don't expect to win that much with what you have

[abstract atlas]

unicorn? ssr upgrade better than UR?

[warm latch]

unicorn is the best healer in the game

there arent any urs that fill that role

[wind hazel]

unicorn has preload, she can deal damage as soon as battle start

your shinano on the other hand might die before she can launch anything

[warm latch]

ur doesnt automatically mean its the best ship for a specific thing

[abstract atlas]

serious? not trolling me, right?

[knotty jolt]

Some SRs compete with URs in terms of effectiveness

Looking at you helena

[warm latch]

a ships skills are more important than how shiny they are

[abstract atlas]

owww okeii, thanks for suggestion elder

[warm cliff]

is this worth getting?

[knotty jolt]

No, spend it for a different ship like Sandy's augment if you dont have it yet

[rapid shard]

For Future reference

[languid turtle]

How do I unlock the SP and EX instances of the new event?

[rain bobcat]

clear d3

[warm cliff]

oh thanks

[upbeat wagon]

whats a good vanguard for 1:1, ive been using wakatsuki

[languid turtle]

ty

[wind hazel]

1:1 for which map

[weary gust]

please don't say 3-4

[upbeat wagon]

d3

[upbeat wagon]

huh?

[wind hazel]

unicorn+ddg

but i'd rather you just full fleet it

[knotty jolt]

but d3 has oil cap, 1:1 seems excessive

[upbeat wagon]

but the plane bp’s no?

[wind hazel]

true

[upbeat wagon]

i can 1:1 with no issue

[wind hazel]

unicorn+ddg
zuihou+ddg
cowpens+ddg
aquila+ddg
volga+leander

[upbeat wagon]

why ddg in particular

[wind hazel]

cheap, and strong

[upbeat wagon]

ah ok

[wind hazel]

they have base oil of 9

[upbeat wagon]

damn

[median prism]

Yay

[sinful relic]

considering im investing into lexi2, will yorktown be more worth it than musashi?

[atomic abyss]

no, absolutely not

[peak fable]

special construction pullers keep winning

[sinful relic]

shame

musashi kinda boring if im being honest. yorktown very beautiful XD

[atomic abyss]

musashi is still the best campaign BB for a reason, despite how long she's been out for

well if you really like yorktown2 go ahead

[sinful relic]

im not gonna go for her dw

i was just wondering, im saving my cubes anyways for gaum and laffey 2.

[peak fable]

new skin has got him good

[sinful relic]

i bought lexi2 skin...

no reason...

btw since most of my fleets are uss, do i get any buffs or anything?

im not sure how the nation buffs work

[atomic abyss]

they dont

[rapid shard]

Only nations buffs are ones listed in skills like Graf Zepplins for example

[atomic abyss]

any faction buffs (usually from UR ships) are treated as a bonus

[sinful relic]

ooh

[atomic abyss]

and not a key part of their kit

any other faction buffers are shit because the rest of the faction buffs dont justify using a shit ship

[sinful relic]

okay thats good to know, i was maybe thinking of investing into william d porter because of the buff, but honestly? i think laffey 2 and gaum are more worth.

[rapid shard]

they are tbh

[atomic abyss]

good ships first

if you wanna like, do the funny stuff

you can do that afterwards

[sinful relic]

noted

also do i put lexi2 my flag ship or keep alabama as my flagship?

the fleet so far ngl. (if im being h onest its stronger damage wise than my boss fleet)

[wind hazel]

bb flagship 99% of the time

[sinful relic]

may i ask why? is it because the triple fire?

[warm latch]

bbs usually flag because higher hp usually, and aux guns to take out anything that gets close

[rapid shard]

Barrage coverage

[warm latch]

and barrages too yea

[zinc basalt]

suicide boads

[sinful relic]

ooh okay, thats pretty neat.

[rapid shard]

And if they bottom slot and a suicide boat comes in at the top slot they might not be able to shoot it in time depending on the aux gun

[zinc basalt]

not all bb's barrage fixed to place

[onyx flame]

its also symmetrical so my brain is happy

[sinful relic]

umu thats handy to know, rather than just not knowing if im being honest.

is it fine to have double CV/CVL with BB as flag? for my fleets?

[atomic abyss]

that's the norm tbh

[rapid shard]

Just flag your BB unless one of your other ships has a flagship specific skill which are few tbh

[onyx flame]

that norm for campaign tbh

[zinc basalt]

ya

[sinful relic]

i dont think so, only reason i was asking about yorktown 2 before was because i heard shes good with lexi2, but i was told thats not campaign but meta

[zinc basalt]

uni is healler and lex 2 dd

so... solid

[wind hazel]

well it can be good for campaign too

[sinful relic]

i was thinking of putting lexi 2 into my boss fleet. because its kinda lacking if im being honest? tohka and twins carry heavily, levels obv take matter too

[warm latch]

lex2 probably isnt gonna make it any better

[zinc basalt]

swap sara and lex2

[wind hazel]

who was on your mob fleet before you placed lexii?

[sinful relic]

hiryuu

[wind hazel]

put her back. move lexii boss, kick rodney out

[sinful relic]

ooh okay

[wind hazel]

you got cowpens?

[sinful relic]

rip rodney. if only retrofit

[sinful relic]

actually yeah i do, i can MLB too if needed.

[wind hazel]

even better, kick hiryuu out again, use cowpens

[sinful relic]

LOL

[mighty nexus]

what are yall thoughts on the new ships? Lex2, Cowgirl, META Cleve, the other elite i could care less about and Porter D Williams

[sinful relic]

big booba woman here icome.

[wind hazel]

they are tech ships to me

[warm cliff]

is it even possible for a beginner level to clear the hard mode of the event stages

[zinc basalt]

bronson is solid for air raid assistance

[rapid shard]

Cow seems like a solid sub if you dont have Aquila/Volga

[obtuse remnant]

Hello new player here I had 2 questions. 1) is the new ur ship good compared to hakuhou? I can only lb one at the moment and idk who to use it on. 2) I got the ur but not the sr ships do i keep going for them or save my cubes now?

[wind hazel]

depends on how much of a beginner they are

[mighty nexus]

i wish i could have them as tech ships, since i have not enough of anything for kearsarge despite having a near-max lvl NJ

i NEED this event by a lot, else i'll have to grind divergent chessboard for agir

[rapid shard]

Depends on rest of your dock. they are different uses

[zinc basalt]

lex2 is light armor dd

[sinful relic]

...?

[rapid shard]

As for pulling that is completely up to you if you want them

[mighty nexus]

wha huh

[obtuse remnant]

Do they come back or are they limited for this event?

[rapid shard]

She is very very good FYI

[zinc basalt]

damage on light armor enemies

[mighty nexus]

limited for a good while

[verbal plinth]

in about 2 years

[wind hazel]

you have aquila too

[sinful relic]

should i invest into her instead of cowpens then?

[rapid shard]

Yes

[mighty nexus]

ohhh

[wind hazel]

you only have 1 cowpens?

[sinful relic]

i got her with cowpens in the same 10 roll so uh yeah, wasnt sure if she was any good.

[zinc basalt]

and good for chapter 15

[sinful relic]

i havent invested any bulins. but is aquila more useful for me?

[mighty nexus]

my bum ass wasted a good hundred cubes into lex 2 only to come back with zero event ships

[wind hazel]

aquila is a more versatile ship

[mighty nexus]

i dont even have the whatchacallit elite ship

i dont even have cleve meta, i dont even have cowpens

[autumn yarrow]

for how cheap have you guys been able to run d3 for

[rapid shard]

528 for x3 sortie. could go cheaper on boss fleet tho

[mighty nexus]

umm actually my mob fleet is not even levelled enough to bypass the level req

[sinful relic]

i got these 3 when rolling for the UR, i cant be bothered with the sub. so im assuming i should invest into aquila?

[autumn yarrow]

can you show

[warm cliff]

i can't finish d3 😓

[rapid shard]

Uni/Sandy on mob and full boss with cross fleets

[verbal plinth]

you could get away with a purple with uni even more oil save but its up too you

[autumn yarrow]

you dont have to fill the ship specific slots?

[onyx flame]

mine is 450 for 3x or maybe a bit more

[verbal plinth]

stack bossfleet with urs

[sinful relic]

problem is i think ill have to wait a bit before taking rodney out. i kinda lucked out on exp books because of lexi2.

[rapid shard]

Im gonna try sandy/Ranger later and see how that goes

[warm latch]

you have to fill 1 vanguard 1 main in each fleet youre using, but you dont have to fill all of them

[autumn yarrow]

LOL ok ive been playing for so long and i didnt know that. it makes it so much easier now xd

[rapid shard]

What you running?

[onyx flame]

btw when is a good time to get a DDG retro item, been eyeing anshan one but i kinda dont want to be on 3/4 of a bulin forever

[autumn yarrow]

i thought you had to fill the ship specific slots and also fill the requirement

[wind hazel]

i'd do aquila first yeah

[onyx flame]

uni + og laff they fight everything

[heady igloo]

how do yall find lexi II kit?

[verbal plinth]

anti light

[onyx flame]

my original is like uni + eldridge

[wind hazel]

do you have exp books? can get helena and go full fleet on fleet 1

[sinful relic]

noted, i think about 1 day and i should have both lexi 2, aquila, and my 2nd floor for dorm finished. im actually getting there finally!

btw is double catapult good for carriers?

[verbal plinth]

standard

[wind hazel]

otherwise just grind d1 until you can overlevel the enemies lol

[zinc basalt]

99% yes

[sinful relic]

cuz i have like 16 catapults now

[onyx flame]

gold ones?

[sinful relic]

nah just purple, i have no luck with anything gold

[verbal plinth]

keep opening boxes you will stack up

[zinc basalt]

[sinful relic]

just these.

i cant believe you guys waited through this while pushing so many things.

[rapid shard]

Keeping commissions running nonstop is the key.

[zinc basalt]

how give boxes to new players... don't need it

[sinful relic]

i have been, but i dont have allot of ships that are level 100 apparently without sacrificing my fleet

[verbal plinth]

never been coin desprate enough to open your boxes before? smh

[sinful relic]

gib some to the poor

[mighty nexus]

how does one get a faster air strike

[zinc basalt]

HOW

[sinful relic]

this is actually the most ive had...

[onyx flame]

lvl 10 your planes, run faster planes (make sure their good first), or get rld from tech or cats no other real ways

[rapid shard]

Faster planes and higher RLD tech

[mighty nexus]

gawd i really need to get gold uni and that preload huh

[zinc basalt]

turn it into purple

then open

[onyx flame]

anyway bump

[sinful relic]

yeah i did, is there actually things im looking for?

[rapid shard]

Thats all your choice tbh

[onyx flame]

living with 3/4 of a bulin

[rapid shard]

Buy one of the others to even it out

[sinful relic]

anything useful?

[zinc basalt]

eeehg

on early

[sinful relic]

thats all?

[onyx flame]

not really, at most purple purple 553mm quad torp to save to turn into gold quad mags or purple triple 283 depending which one it is

[sinful relic]

dang my luck is horrible, thats legit from like 9 hours of cycle grinding

[knotty jolt]

you forgot beacon

[zinc basalt]

solid

[sinful relic]

wait i can turn purples into golds?

[rapid shard]

No, not by combining

[onyx flame]

gearlab

[desert epoch]

Clear normal stage or hard event one?

[onyx flame]

normal A1-B2 via low cost, then go straight to D3

[desert epoch]

D3 hard?

[onyx flame]

ya it the hard mode

[sinful relic]

D3 isnt hard but kills ur morale LOL

wait- is anything good from event shop? or am i just investing into the things for the UR ship?

[white agate]

thanks

[onyx flame]

event shop got the usual prio prob in the pins alr

imma gonna be here forever cause hvars

[sinful relic]

hvars?

[rapid shard]

Gold plane BP drop from D3

[knotty jolt]

D3 print drops

[rapid shard]

Light DMG rocket fighter for CVs

[knotty jolt]

They're the best rocket fights vs light

[white agate]

long life to the light armor bb fleet

[knotty jolt]

You come to understand why we don't recommend people grind out gear prints for stuff when they try to grind for Hvars

[sinful relic]

ooh

[knotty jolt]

it ain't fun

[sinful relic]

gears just straight up confuse me.

[rapid shard]

it is pain

[sinful relic]

wait this one?

[rapid shard]

Yep thats it

[sinful relic]

well atleast i have 2?

[onyx flame]

Only time i'll bother using the double plan thing

[rapid shard]

You need 25 prints to make 1

[sinful relic]

yeah i know but i was jokingly saying atleast i have 2 prints XD

[rapid shard]

and for the Kear Yorktown2 Lex2 light dmg fleet you need 5 planes total lol

[warm latch]

2/125

[sinful relic]

HUH

[sterile jolt]

[verbal plinth]

your new player dont worry about it

[sterile jolt]

Good luck or just dont care

[sinful relic]

HECK NAH my morale is already just dying. poor alabama for the first time reached 0 morale

[warm latch]

and you can get them from war archive now cant you?

[white agate]

time to use the dorm to its full potential

[zinc basalt]

place ships to dorm

[rapid shard]

Dont grind them below 120 morale. You lose 20% bonus xp

[onyx flame]

its hella slow if you rely only on wa legit 4 runs a day

[sinful relic]

oh boy-

[sterile jolt]

Theres just no reason, when we already have great anti light BBs

[onyx flame]

8 if you use the plan thing to double it

[sinful relic]

another debuff to me just mindlessly grinding-

[white agate]

actually 6 or 8

[onyx flame]

i dont have those
