[ocean terrace]

gotta enhance some of that gear and the UA

[errant jacinth]

I don’t have one 😭

also what augment for lexi?

[wind hazel]

use tenzan

can keep that unzen gun up to w12 ish

[cobalt robin]

About the 2x reward things, does it roll the loot pool twice or is it the first drop just x 2?

[viscid swift]

yes

[viscid swift]

the former

we don't do niche gear set ups in the qgg

tip, if you see a niche set up and don't know what it's for, don't persue it

[ivory sigil]

ok then, i will stay at purple fast gear, no UR bulin yet, just casually build her lvl / stats in boredom then

[wind hazel]

or you know, build ship that can help you immediately

[ivory sigil]

new jersey? no i havent got her

[ocean terrace]

what.

[wind hazel]

....

[cobalt robin]

nj

[hollow gust]

Why are you even bothering with porter gear

This is why I keep saying your addiction to the endgame tierlist is a waste of time.

[viscid swift]

more like a misunderstanding of where to place resources

[ocean terrace]

it's not bad as long as you ask why they're placed in certain ranks and if you should invest in them

[viscid swift]

they're focusing effort on gearing a ship they can't limit break nor should they any time soon

[ocean terrace]

but you right, most of the time it's blindly following it which isn't great

[hollow gust]

He keeps using it as excuse to level more and more ships cause they are high rank in stuff like meta.

Like just finish your current ones, you can save the bulins ment for porter for Laffey 2who you can use everywhere

[stark quiver]

devs didnt do a gachapon this year right

[cobalt robin]

It's not like the spreadsheet specifically says w14, 15 and harbiter

[hollow gust]

Wat that

[stark quiver]

remember that one gachapon thing last christmas

[wind hazel]

the web gachapon?

[stark quiver]

yeah

[wind hazel]

none but there's small twitter event right now #game-news

i will win 200 gem

[stark quiver]

i won 1500 last time

[stark quiver]

do i need to do anything other than share my info

[wind hazel]

just the pic, uid, server

[stark quiver]

[wind hazel]

steal someone's LOL

[cobalt robin]

I won 4800 gems last time -40€

[stark quiver]

moriforest uid number

[wind hazel]

[ivory sigil]

patience and impatience
i patience for research goods ships/stacking rolls/keeping bulins
i impatience for getting ship that is goodable to develop atm

okay i go back to newbie guide to find a ship that's actually useful to build now

today i learned eHP chart

are there Elite girl on the top list?? are they worth buy and build?

[ocean terrace]

but sometimes you don't need to build on ships except the ones in your fleet already

if you've been following advice here well, you should have the best ships attainable in your fleet right now

[hollow gust]

Level your current ship, why the fuck are still looking for more

[stark quiver]

remember that every half decent player here has been playing for a long time
dont try to keep up with them

[ivory sigil]

i feel jealous for seeing u had oath prinz eugen, that's literally free Tech for Iron blood which is closer to fdg / hutten / meck etc

[hollow gust]

[ocean terrace]

it's only 1 ship, also it means I stupidly used f2p gems for an oath
and I'll never use Prinz Eugen in hard content

[stark quiver]

oaths dont give tech
eugen doesnt give a lot of tech points

i used half my f2p gems for oaths too

[ocean terrace]

you got 1500 gems from some event for free, I don't wanna hear it

why can't I get 1500 gems

[soft raft]

I wonder
How many gems could $20 buy (including the 2x bonus)

[stark quiver]

becuase you arent me

[stark quiver]

15 dollar pack + 5 dollar pack

[soft raft]

I got a bonus in the form of a target gift card so I'm pondering where to spend it lol

[ocean terrace]

this no?

[cobalt robin]

I can spend it for you if you don't wanna

[stark quiver]

oh that yeah
also what kinda of job are you working that gives you a giftcard

[wind hazel]

there are a few options

#1 option would be gifting it to me as xmas gift

[cobalt robin]

My bday was last week, I should get it

[ocean terrace]

how about I pay you $5 for the $20 giftcard

if you don't mind GBP to USD conversion rates ahem

[soft raft]

Small insurance agency
My manager sold a very profitable policy so my boss gave everyone one to celebrate

[cobalt robin]

so you scam people

[soft raft]

Lol no I'm already gonna spend it
Just a question on which game to spend it on

[hollow gust]

20$ best values

[stark quiver]

gamble it

[cobalt robin]

Now that's a brilliant idea

[hollow gust]

My lexy finally securing mvp well

[ivory sigil]

eh? after i reached 21k score CleaveM sudden drop?

[onyx flame]

score got nothing to do with it, its just rng

[stark quiver]

what about it

[onyx flame]

also isnt trophy room rule still in effect

[ivory sigil]

retire purple bulin / retire stlouis are giving same medal right?

[stark quiver]

its always in effect

in here at least

[peak storm]

Uhh guys, how and where to get these gifts..?

[ivory sigil]

island planner

[onyx flame]

not really worth the effort since they only give like 1? affinity

[wind hazel]

worth for me

[stark quiver]

its one more than 0

[onyx flame]

i mean i play island planner jsut cause, but im prob never gonna use the items at all maybe on subs

[gusty olive]

How's Clarence with her skills?

[supple verge]

Is there any skin guide on the new skins for cow pens and Lexington

[rain bobcat]

https://bit.ly/ALCFguide

[cobalt robin]

Did cat nodes scale with level only or rarity as well?

[stark quiver]

both

[noble pawn]

can D3 be cheaper in oil?

[onyx flame]

you can 1:1 it

[wet wing]

En wiki not updated yet?

[onyx flame]

its half updated depending onw hat your trying to find ig

[verbal plinth]

irrc one was halfdone and the wiki program died

they could always use more help apply today!

[noble pawn]

300 oil cheaper nice

[onyx flame]

idk if you can 0lb ranger/cassin it but i just run uni+og laff and my cost is 450 so good enuf

[noble pawn]

I don't have them lvl 100

actually nvm uni laffey is available

[onyx flame]

if you got ddg it be a better choice than laffey

[verbal plinth]

imo grind pr exp your using oil that you could be using to level ships and making progress

[noble pawn]

I have spare 45k oil do you think it's worth grinding F6F HVAR in event

[onyx flame]

im grinding hvar so im trying to spread out my oil but i run 2 fleets, one 1:1 and my lvling fleet and i just swap to the other while waiting for morale

[stray crane]

u can clear it with 1;1?

[onyx flame]

ya

[clear harbor]

How often are HVARs farmable?

[hollow gust]

Forever , yorky event is archived

[elfin bay]

heck yeah, thanks

[clear harbor]

Oh, so like, if I really wanted to farm HVARS, I could go there? Is that even worth it at any point?

[gusty olive]

How is Clarence in terms of skills?

[upbeat wagon]

Not worth

[ocean terrace]

not really, since you're above W9, just farm as many from D3 in the event

[clear harbor]

But after that? I got my first print today. I might not get 25 prints by the end of the event.

[ocean terrace]

you're very likely to have enough for one by the time you get to 55k event points (which you should be aiming for)

[sweet delta]

what if i want more than one hvar

[ocean terrace]

do you need more than 1?

[stark quiver]

1 is basically useless

[ocean terrace]

you're not getting 5 or 6

[sweet delta]

i heard that a fleet uses 5

[ocean terrace]

better than 0

[ocean terrace]

less farming for next time you need them though

plus if you're new-mid you won't need them for the time being

[clear harbor]

Sushi, for your guide, does Single Target also include campaign bosses?

[stark quiver]

no

[clear harbor]

Single Target = Meta battles and similar fights?

[hollow gust]

You won’t be using single target fighters for campaign

[stark quiver]

yes

[sweet delta]

it's more like SW (single wave)

[clear harbor]

Thanks.

Glad I cleared that up.

[ocean terrace]

see what I mean though, it's a niche plane but you might as well farm it

maybe if you're lucky you get 5 you won't

[upbeat wagon]

how much hvar bp's should i expect per event point gained

currently at 22k with 6

[clear harbor]

Yeah, but I was trying to ask a different question. 😅 My question was more about whether it would be worth farming HVARS in archives after the event is over. The answer appears to be no. At least not for me right now.

[ocean terrace]

well if you're not below W9 then no usually for any WA, like I answered earlier

[stark quiver]

dont expect anything
what matters is the end result

[rain bobcat]

alpa I gave in

[stark quiver]

dont farm archive please

[rain bobcat]

I oathed entire USS comp because I saw ring pack

[clear harbor]

Not below W9 = above w9?

[slow fox]

Lexington II AA Intercept

[stark quiver]

bro

youre late to the party

[rain bobcat]

[stark quiver]

WTF lexi isnt mvping

[rain bobcat]

i switched loadout btw

im running bf109, double tenrai

[slow fox]

Misinformation

[ocean terrace]

AA intercept is how well you deal with enemy planes as a CV right?

[hollow gust]

Enhance her…

[rain bobcat]

much higher than yk2 huh, is that because of the AA buff thing

[stark quiver]

wat

[slow fox]

Yes.

[hollow gust]

Did you not enhance her for rld and avi?

[ocean terrace]

her offensive skill is level 1

[slow fox]

It is not. Neither is she a statstick by any real measure. She simply has 6 high efficiency planes.

[stark quiver]

i would if i could

[clear harbor]

(Left) Sushi's guide and (right) core shop.
These are the same, right? I don't want to buy the wrong thing.

[rain bobcat]

oh right Ikeep forgetting

yk2 is 2 4 3 isn't she with low fighter eff

[slow fox]

Remember! AA stat does not affect CV interception!

[stark quiver]

oh my lord i have so many ship dupes that i need to lb with
950/1000 without farming 😭

[clear harbor]

Here's my Hakuhou's load out. VIT should be Wyvern if I'm not doing Single Target stuff?

Like W12 farming and Event Farming

[wind hazel]

ye

[onyx jacinth]

what to take from those 3 ? I am newbie and i have these

[clear harbor]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
Here are some helpful tips for new players!

There are recommendations at the top.

• Unicorn
• Helena
• Portland
• Pennsylvania

Oh, you already have Portland, so no need for a second copy.

Also, it looks like you can limit break Long Island.

[onyx jacinth]

who to take from limited ship?

[shadow stump]

are there yorktown meta fleets yet

[clear harbor]

I think generally you don't want to take from the limited option. Too expensive.

[stark quiver]

its in pinned messages

[stark quiver]

get the t4 gear parts too
do main gun

[shadow stump]

ohh its a google doc, usually its just a picture

[stark quiver]

its pictures in a google doc

[ocean terrace]

uh does coining BP discount not reset during daily reset?

[scarlet cosmos]

Are there any good buffers for vanguard ships?

[onyx flame]

it resets 4 hours after

idk why but that what it does

[hollow gust]

Spaghetti code

[viral flicker]

Is there any other healer except unicorn

[onyx flame]

non as good

[south sequoia]

the only other main healer is perseus
other healers exist but only as secondary healers, meaning that they themselves arent alone enough to sustain for long periods but they work well with main healers to create a good form of sustain
We have aquila fighter mode, zuiho, cowpens and klaudia
And ryuuhou, but she isn't as powerful as the other 4

[clear harbor]

Was Unicorn always available through the Guild Shop?

[verbal plinth]

think so

[onyx jacinth]

does the game gets bugged in auto play in bluestacks?

[verbal plinth]

yes try mumu

[onyx jacinth]

mumu lags weirdly in my pc idk why but bluestacks is smooth

[verbal plinth]

if you switch it off pie 64 i think bluestacks works

idk how you do that tho

[onyx jacinth]

so i need to switch off pie 64?

[verbal plinth]

yes its not really 64 bit

[ocean terrace]

id recommend getting the android 11 version
means you gotta redownload bluestacks and AL though

my bluestacks was freezing too before I switched to Android 11 vers.
thought I'm on mumu now

[hardy whale]

is there a way to disable the low affinity notification

[verbal plinth]

nope

dorm them and wait

[red sapphire]

Should I +13 Champ gun?

[wind hazel]

first one yes

[red sapphire]

Okay, thanks

[median jetty]

Is Hindenburg worth building?

[wind hazel]

great dps but seldom see use. hard to recommend, on top of focusing series 6 is not recommended

[zenith heron]

Anyone have an updated +13 guide

Already took a look at Sam's

[tropic tusk]

that one is already updated

[zenith heron]

Well I guess time to use my +13 plates, mb then

[red sapphire]

Could you share link?

[zenith heron]

just do /plus13 at #bot-spam

I took a look at it so you can look at it as well

[red sapphire]

Thanks

[tulip tinsel]

kid ships like lil enty don't give any fleet tech right?

[onyx flame]

yep, no fleet tech

[tulip tinsel]

free medal time that is then

[clear harbor]

Do I want fast torpedoes on Anchorage for her smoke screen? Or are yellow/purple quads mags okay?

[tulip tinsel]

fast for smokescreen

[red sapphire]

Is Twin 137 best main fleet aux after Plygun? So, if I have Lion should I use it over a 45 fp cl gun?

[ivory sigil]

hmm 8k or 5k ?

[rain bobcat]

8

[rain bobcat]

only in ch14

[red sapphire]

Other than ch14 what's the best aux gun I can use (other than Plygun wich I have 0 )

[rain bobcat]

any 45fp

[red sapphire]

Okay thanks

[upbeat wagon]

Should I equip ply gun on main fleet or vanguard if i only have 1

[red sapphire]

Vanguard I think

[mighty nexus]

just got aquilla, should I slot her in my main fleet (don't mind musashi she's supposed to be replaced with origami and then some other EU main fleet), mob fleet or a third one for op siren

[tropic tusk]

unzen timeing tho good shit

[crystal flume]

what's york meta fight ship class is?

medium?

[zenith heron]

Madgeburg is a Tank or not?

[whole crypt]

armour class is med, ship classes are weird with METAs

[whole crypt]

no

[slow fox]

-# gph is healing

[barren trail]

Hey, is there any guide or help site that would help me build my endgame gear? I have some good ships and I am wondering if there is any made guides since i couldnt find any definitive ones on the net (I mean as what gear to equip on what ships)

[fair lance]

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

[barren trail]

thank you! also I assume the UR guns are mostly about grinding in OS right

[fair lance]

Some of them. Some are from events and research.

[barren trail]

And events ones I assume I have to wait for reruns

[fair lance]

Some have already reran so no telling when they will be added to gear lab

[barren trail]

oki thank you!

[valid forge]

what i should get in core shop?

i have 2200 cores rn

[inland shoal]

/coredata

[odd root]

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/images/equip_misc/Core_Data_Priority.jpeg

[vast sparrow]

Whats the difference between Lock-On and Bracketing

[valid forge]

what autoloaders and steam catapults do btw?

[upbeat wagon]

Steam catapults give AVI (more damage for carriers)

Autoloaders increase RLD for battleships

[valid forge]

they increase reload of firing or ability cd?

[upbeat wagon]

firing

[red sapphire]

Flandre and Champ gun are equivalent in terms of effectiveness?

[rain bobcat]

champ slightly higher dmg, but slower

[red sapphire]

I see. Thanks

[fluid merlin]

Where do i get more of thee

[tropic tusk]

campaign hard mode

[white agate]

welp, my fleet costs 178, i don't know why i was even complaining

[fluid merlin]

Is dewey meta any decent?

[tulip tinsel]

shit

like all other purple meta

[fluid merlin]

Anyone here useful?

[tulip tinsel]

No

[hollow plank]

is there a link for what to buy in the core shop mont hkly and ltd and medal etc? thanks

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/images/equip_misc/Core_Data_Priority.jpeg

[hollow plank]

Thanks!

[tulip tinsel]

From the medal shop you buy whatever you need

except the gear box and other stuff that's not worth it

[hollow plank]

Thank you! are these meant to be analyzed for prortype cores? all of them from series 1-4?

[onyx flame]

analyze all combat data packs

[tulip tinsel]

not only 1-4 every single one you get

[still knot]

I just got this two ships
And I don't what to do with them

[wind hazel]

ok

[low hull]

help, any good fleet setup for the new META ship?

[verbal plinth]

pins have a google doc with examples

[valid forge]

how to open that window?

[wind hazel]

main menu>meta showdown from left quick menu>dossier analysis>meta dossiers

[solar lily]

thoughts on Willy D Porter?

[true zenith]

does the prototype shop (rainbows) rotate each month?

[ivory sigil]

had u watch suchi newest clip ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7L-0rDViII

[white agate]

no

[rain bobcat]

ok

[solar lily]

will do

[hollow plank]

is lexington ii worth MLB ing? i only hav 3 UR bulins and don't have any other UR ships but was concerned i might need to save it for other URs for future use? thanks!

Is she already tiered as S or something?

[wind hazel]

if you dont have any UR ship then she's automatically your best UR

[strong tartan]

next ur is likely in feb and by then you'd definitely have enough to mlb whatever comes then

[hollow plank]

Ahh good ot know. thank yhou! I don't know how often or how easy / hard it is to get UR bulins so I wanted to be sure. Thanks!

[white agate]

you get around 2 per month

[ocean terrace]

2.5 including cruise pass

[azure coyote]

I have so many many cruiser and battle ship retro bp who do I even use it on that'a good?

[white agate]

just those ship you like the retro design

[tulip tinsel]

aside the good ones like eld, essex, sandy, uni and others most of the other one's are shit

[azure coyote]

Well

Guess I'll just hold onto it forever

[tranquil vine]

i cant go to a port then return to a stronghold, right?

[rain bobcat]

you can

[tranquil vine]

oh

does it retain my progress

[wary saffron]

Someone tell me how this weekly bs works

[rain bobcat]

the only times you can't return to port and back again are abyssals, hiddens, and HARD arbiter

[tranquil vine]

so i can just go and repair everyone

[rain bobcat]

the weekly in the mission tab with the 20 tiers

[wary saffron]

Oh bruh I already did all of them

[forest palm]

you mean the weekly activity points? that's just your weekly missions you usually need a 1000 points to clear per week, but you can get more if you don't claim all

[tranquil vine]

ALRIGHT IM BACK FOR ROUND 2

[wary saffron]

I did all of them😭

[forest palm]

if you game it right you can get 2,065 points per week total

[wary saffron]

Now I Have to wait till Sunday

[forest palm]

about 42 hours from now

[wary saffron]

I need two more cubes to unlock musashi but holy shit I got all of them

[rain bobcat]

wut

[azure coyote]

What type of ship is the UR from the event?

[wary saffron]

Like there is no other ways I can get cubes

[tranquil vine]

i absolutely despise the healing on this boss

[wary saffron]

Like do war archives give me cubes

[tranquil vine]

WHY CAN THE BOSS HEAL

[onyx flame]

gacha ur is carrier, shop ur is DD

[wary saffron]

It has shipgirl rights bro

[trail dagger]

some enemy can take advantage of your fleet's heal

Gotta read the skill description, can be done by turning off fleet lock

[azure coyote]

Is the shop UR good?

[tranquil vine]

the issue is that I CANT OUTDAMAGE THE HEAL

[onyx flame]

https://youtu.be/H7L-0rDViII?si=lV8I0ifa850fjizh

[tranquil vine]

SO I JUST CANT KILL THE BOSS

[alpine musk]

no reason to 3* on D3 if I already 3* on B3 right?

[rain bobcat]

use a better team

[tranquil vine]

THIS IS LITERALLY MY STRONGEST TEAm

[rain bobcat]

hold everyones airstrike, until 4/4, hold honokas salvo, hold all torps

dump them all at once, and sacrifice your vanguard by ramming into it manually as well

[tranquil vine]

IVE BEEN DOING THAT.

does lowering the control level weaken the boss or smth

[rain bobcat]

ur adaps are also kinda low

raise adaps, use better ships, come back before end of month

[tranquil vine]

i raised to 160/153/113

[rain bobcat]

also I find it hard to believe a fleet with NJ or a fleet with amagi CV can't kill a shitty stronghold unless they're not mlb

[tranquil vine]

amagicv isnt, nj is

[white agate]

me going for arbiter with 60/60/60

[tranquil vine]

okay yeah adaptability was part of the problem

YEAH IT WAS ADAPTABILITY LOL

nj, delete the boss.

it didnt even give me a rainbow bp

[trail dagger]

Got a question, which one is better for bossin, LMB Shinano and Develop Hakuryuu, or Limit Break Lexi and use it with enterprise? also does Lexi 2 and AVP share the same role?

[meager path]

how to know what ship is better for early player to build fleet?

[rain bobcat]

1. spending bulins on a permanent UR is a horrible decision
2. lexi does not freeze without AA debuff on enemy which is usually sourced from york2/trafalgar/some very shit shit option so you will likely need a stopper without either traf/york 2

[onyx flame]

laff2

[rain bobcat]

if you have no other better URs to mlb that's NOT PERMANENT, then lexi is the default option to mlb

[ocean terrace]

is it horrible if it's Musashi

[rain bobcat]

debatable, personal preference

it isn't unwise to spend bulins on musashi and zwei

[ocean terrace]

I know she's good at campaign, but does she excel at anything else?

[rain bobcat]

implac is a very debatable choice since formi does more dmg if you just wanna gamble the 80% stop chance

[rain bobcat]

good heavy bossing dmg

not that shit against medium either but still lower end of UR BB potential for medium

[ocean terrace]

so she really can do it all (mostly)

[trail dagger]

Okayy, thxxx

[ocean terrace]

I assume she's never BiS though, more of a general all-rounder who's good at everything?

[rain bobcat]

she's not BiS on anything in the game yes but she's not an unusable option

well for newer meta fights I would consider her unusable because she lacks too much dmg but for anything else yeah

[ocean terrace]

honestly sounds like she's worth using bulins on as a new player unless Feb UR is a BB

[rain bobcat]

highly depends

they like releasing UR BBs frequently because it's a very popular class/hull

[ocean terrace]

reckon it's a trend that'll stay? since they've released a lot already

[late flame]

or devs running out of ideas

[ocean terrace]

hope that means Yamato and Iowa come out soon

[rain bobcat]

I would say there's definitely atleast new 1-2BB a year

anyway the upcoming reruns have 2 BBs in soyuz and alsace

[ocean terrace]

when are the new UR dates again? usually

[rain bobcat]

mid to end feb, end of may, early to mid sep, end of dec

[ocean terrace]

was Lion the may one this year?

[rain bobcat]

yeah

[white agate]

how do i log in when i reinstall the game? it asks me only to create a new yostar account

[rain bobcat]

use ur previous bind?

[white agate]

yes, issue is : how do i log in?

[rain bobcat]

wdym how

it doesn't prompt you for a yostar centre account (completely different shit from ingame yostar bind btw) unless ur already logged in

[ocean terrace]

you input your email and it sends a verification code to your email iirc

[rain bobcat]

and anyway you can ignore the yostar centre pop up for 7 days

[white agate]

oh, so i need not to log in with the yostar account? jist mail and get the code?

[rain bobcat]

assuming that's what you have bound sure

[ocean terrace]

well when I click yostar, it pops up with 'input email' then generate code

[white agate]

thought i had to input my yostar account credentials, oh well

[ocean terrace]

well your yostar is bound to an email so

[white agate]

feels clucnky ngl

[ocean terrace]

yeah I had to ask when I reinstalled the game

[gusty olive]

How is Clarence skill wise? Is her skill make her worth using outside of waifu reasons? Does she have a niche?

[drowsy quest]

How can i pass part 2 on the event, i clear all the stage on normal, and two of them on hard, and still cant unlock the SP stage

[ocean terrace]

need to clear D3 for SP

[rain bobcat]

clarence is just a typical purple ARA haver

[teal hare]

i might be stupid but usually when i start clearing the ongoing event, i should be able to do the hard mode and i cant find the button for it

[ocean terrace]

/hardmode

[odd root]

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

[teal hare]

ahh thx a lot they actually changed the location xd

[ivory sigil]

asking any ship frequently on this channel work too

but Majorly should able to check the guide from some source

https://azurlaneecgc.com/early_ship_recommendations/
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips

[alpine musk]

where can I use this thing

[ivory sigil]

they are not for use

they are a stamp for this

[alpine musk]

oh so I gotta unlock the medal first

[tulip tinsel]

cosmetic only

[ivory sigil]

check them via memories / commerorative memory

[alpine musk]

gotcha

[onyx flame]

or you could click on the event page and then achievement

tbh you dont gotta bother just check missions, they are a one and done thing anyway

[brisk osprey]

Is William d porter worth grinding for?

[hollow plank]

is there any downside to the x2 oil usage for the event? or is it as if i had ran the event 2 times? XD

[onyx flame]

its basically free, you might as well

investing into her is a whole other question thou

[ocean terrace]

just a timesaver

[tulip tinsel]

it just doubles everything, morale cost drop and other stuff

[brisk osprey]

I’m guessing cleveland meta isn’t worth

[hollow plank]

tHANK YOU SO MUCH!

[late flame]

HE(C)LP is good when you lack play time

[brisk osprey]

cleve meta is ok

[tulip tinsel]

avarage gold cl/ca whatever her hull is

[late flame]

CL iirc

[tulip tinsel]

she costs 3 ur bulins

[onyx flame]

she's good/aight depending on where you are in the game but due to her being more niche and that there are better vanguard reruning next year soon

[brisk osprey]

Any of these meta chars worth getting compared to who i alreDy have

[tulip tinsel]

tech only stuff

[brisk osprey]

Ok

[onyx flame]

purple meta is 🚮

[rigid onyx]

purple metas are 🚮 except for they're good tech

[tulip tinsel]

as in stats

[brisk osprey]

Rip

[late flame]

purple meta is really only for collection \ tech

[brisk osprey]

So all I cab spend those crystals on are bad purples and stuff to levelup metas I dont have

Gotcha

[late flame]

or hold on to them

[brisk osprey]

Oh do they save

[tulip tinsel]

pr6 golds coinable when plymouth is coinable too right?

[onyx flame]

should be

[brisk osprey]

Also any advice for ships i should aim for rn ive been told just to retrofit unicorn

[ocean terrace]

how would research prio change then?

[wind hazel]

raise a bb, drop your volga for now

[hardy whale]

is it worth it to invest in Lexi2 dupes for MLB or save up for next UR?

[late flame]

save

[tulip tinsel]

~~i have no idea tbh ~~

[brisk osprey]

Why for now?

[wind hazel]

and probably best to drop sandiego and raise a portland too

[wind hazel]

you'll come back for volga and sandiego by 2nd fleet.

you can't mlb too many gold ships because of gold bulin scarcity

[late flame]

because newer players lack gold bulins

[brisk osprey]

I dont think I have a portland

[wind hazel]

buy her from guild shop

[brisk osprey]

Bet

[wind hazel]

exp books her to ~lv70, mlb her

[brisk osprey]

I’m out of books 😔

[wind hazel]

do you have better BB than penny?

[brisk osprey]

Don’t think so no

Wait no I have Nelson

And revenge

[wind hazel]

nelson is fine. but where are your exp books, why dont you have them anymore lol

[brisk osprey]

Went into impero and the rest of my team

[late flame]

~~ buy commander pack~~

[wind hazel]

can you get more from handbook?

otherwise your portland nelson gonna suffer

[brisk osprey]

Oof is portland better than Nelson? For main fleet bb

[late flame]

portland is not mainfleet

[ocean terrace]

portland is your main tank in vanguard

[brisk osprey]

Ooh Yh

Drop san diego for portland then swap volga for Nelson

[ocean terrace]

pretty sure nelson should be flagship too

[shadow yarrow]

Best backline for yorktown meta and does meck have a place?

[ocean terrace]

pins for yorkM comps

[brisk osprey]

Why?

[ocean terrace]

her salvo, though I don't know if it's necessary

[sleek spade]

Hey guys for William D Porter should I use that very fast british DD lab gun on her?

[wind hazel]

you just flag your BB regardless

[sleek spade]

Or Sakura UR 100mm?

[wind hazel]

use peashooter if lazy

[sleek spade]

Ogey. I can make both without issue but just not sure which one is better

[wind hazel]

they are both better at different armour

[sleek spade]

Mmm I see

[rain bobcat]

ply rises in priority, PRs stay the same just that you can technically get free protocore from pr6 because you can coin shimanto

[wind hazel]

probably anchorage>plymouth>agir lol

[ocean terrace]

wait when exactly should Ply be coinable?

[tulip tinsel]

suicide ships, cv can't kill those, bb in middle can snipe in every direction

[wind hazel]

next month ish

[rain bobcat]

yeah I would say fdg ancho ply agir avp shimanto

[rain bobcat]

saratoga

[ocean terrace]

I might be able to do her right after Ancho then

[tulip tinsel]

no clue what saratoga does

[ocean terrace]

mobbing CV

[tulip tinsel]

she's not shiny so i don't need her anyway

[rain bobcat]

sara has CA main gun shells that fire every 10s and can kill suicides

[ocean terrace]

makes sense, though im pretty sure her and maryland's salvo is better at flag too

[south sequoia]

How does this evade work? like when she's about to die she goes into a state of invincibility for 5s and then dies?

so kinda like hiryuu?

[rain bobcat]

yeah

hiryuu nanoda

[ocean terrace]

do they randomly give ships oath skins from time to time or is there a pattern?

[gray sphinx]

Whatever manjuu wants so random

[south sequoia]

They give oath skins per major server anniversary

3 during CN anniversary
1 during EN anniversary
3 during JP anniversary
this has been the pattern given the last few years

[tranquil rock]

hating EN smh

[white agate]

@ocean terrace welp, idk yostar account bind must be bullshit, it logged me on a fresh account, then i did the twitter one and got to my account, but my yostar account too should have been binded to my game, i literally had binded it 1 year ago, welp, i'll try to see if i can fix it

[wind hazel]

they have some new yostar acc bullshit recently

[tropic parcel]

is the new event plane any good?

[inland shoal]

It's very fast, so good for timing adjustments

[tacit mortar]

guys, I just realize that the YT skin l2d is highly multi-functional. can anyone telll me its secrets?

[ocean terrace]

https://bit.ly/ALCFguide

[white agate]

man this is so damn confusing: when i log in on my yostar account the game starts from 0 even on my own amagi server,meanwhile when i log in on twitter i get access to my very own account where i play on amagi.
now when i enter the yostar site it says i have my very own account on amagi: then why don't you log me in on my amagi account when i log in with yostar account on AL

[ocean terrace]

maybe it only applies to the platform you first bound your account to, not anything you bind to after

[white agate]

idk, only thing i know is this yostar log in is so stupid: make it something that is intuitive ffs

[inland shoal]

Idk I literally never had any issues with yostar login

[ocean terrace]

could someone explain what the DD gun only is for?
this is for BB aux guns

[proper violet]

Yes but also

[inland shoal]

For BBs that can equip DD guns only...

[ocean terrace]

they exist? for normal BBs you'd rather have the ones on top of DD guns right?

[inland shoal]

Most of the time yes

And yes USS BBs exist

[inland shoal]

#trophy-room

[tulip tinsel]

my nj can only equip dd guns

[white agate]

i neither found any issue with it; the only issue i have is when i uninstall the game to reinstall it.
when i do that and it lets me log in with the yostar account i get sent to a new game, then if i log in with my x/twitter account it gets fixed, but the issue is my yostar account too should have worked since from the yostar site i can see my account with my nickname is binded to my yostar account

[sick kettle]

from what i remember ships that cant use cl secondaries are mostly BCs

[inland shoal]

It's also correct level and everything? Cuz weird that it wouldn't work, it's usually the only reliable bind

[weak elk]

does event map not have oil limits?

[white agate]

can't check the level, but i see the nickname and the user id and it corresponds to mine,same for the server

[ocean terrace]

only D3

[inland shoal]

As always D3 has oil cap

[inland shoal]

Why can't you check the level?
Not that it matters if uid is the same

[proper violet]

Do I just yeet second lex 2 into the first lex 2?

[inland shoal]

Yes

[proper violet]

Ight bet

[inland shoal]

Inb4 talking about enhance and not LB

[hardy whale]

@wind hazel sorry for the ping, regarding OpSi do I use the same 2 fleets you gave me?

[short geyser]

Between all these ships here, the most ship that will give me tech points are PoW and Indomitable right?

[white agate]

oh, yes i can check the level too, 130 as my game level

[inland shoal]

Yes, but eggspensive

[short geyser]

That's the point, I need to flex on the plebs (My Guild mates)

[inland shoal]

Well if you have the gold bulins that's certainly the fastest way to gain HMS tech pts
If not I'd level those that are closest to 120 and give decent pts

[jolly condor]

is cowpens better than aquila?

[ocean terrace]

could someone remind me how tech points are distributed with levels and mlb etc

[short geyser]

Got plenty, thx for the tips brochachi

[inland shoal]

2-4-3

[ocean terrace]

I assume they're ratios?

[inland shoal]

Ye

[ocean terrace]

ok tyyy

[soft raft]

Aquila is better for main fleet (Especially Musashi) since her heal % is based off of the target's HP
Cowpens is better for low HP vanguards since her heal % is based off of her own HP

[jolly condor]

pain, i was trying to put her on my mobbing fleet with lex ll

[grave ridge]

Hi all, wasn't there a pinned message somewhere whenever new event on like is this worth pulling is that worth grinding? I can't seem to find it

[inland shoal]

I mean it's literally pinned in this channel
Though the info on whether pulling is worth is rather vague there

[grave ridge]

Yeah thats the thing, I don't see it in the pinned messages

[twin bronze]

whats the second best DB for light armour

[forest palm]

Tenrai

[soft raft]

It's at the very bottom of this pin

[inland shoal]

It's in the 2nd pin

[grave ridge]

Ah okie

[inland shoal]

At any rate Lexii is obviously good to pull for, Cowpens is decent, but of limited use, CV Rld tho and Pasadena is purple so useless. But CL FP

[forest palm]

did Sam's team put the tech report in there

they did

Cowpens despite being middling, her tech is worth more than she is which is funny

[rotund narwhal]

Do muse versions of existing ships usually contain the same stats as the pre-existing ship? Or they're nerfed to some extent?

[tulip tinsel]

different afaik

[forest palm]

different stat values

even their skills are most notably different

[rotund narwhal]

are they worse or just different

[soft raft]

Different
esp if the Muse version is of a different rarity

[forest palm]

depends on the ship

[soft raft]

varies case to case but it's safe to say you'll likely never use them at all

[rotund narwhal]

excluding baltimore muse

[rotund narwhal]

oh well

[soft raft]

Muse ships provide no tech/fleet tech either so they dont even have that going for them

[forest palm]

I mean Muse Akagi is better than Akagi herself

[rotund narwhal]

came with questions and left with even more questions

[rotund narwhal]

whar???

[soft raft]

see what we mean by it depends lol

[forest palm]

Muse Roon used to be better than Roon but Roon got an augment that up'd her performance

[rotund narwhal]

that was what I was looking for ty

i don't got akagi only akagi muse so that definitely helps

[forest palm]

Akagi's performance is heavily relient on Kaga being there, and Muse Ver doesn't need Kaga to perform

[rotund narwhal]

Oh nice

my first gameplay-help visit was not so bad after all

[ivory sigil]

(Me too bro

Inb4 the 2nd day visit )

Guys, i did remember guide or someone saying portland is only there for tankiness so no need to lvl up skill is that right?

So what about the enhance? She only had 2 stats that's FP and RLD. It's only dmg so enhance is also a skip for her right?

if that is true then i had ran out of Vanguard to enhance for now

[ocean terrace]

her support skill is good for vanguard survivability

[forest palm]

yes, you can ignore Portland's skills, but you'll want to enhance her

[ivory sigil]

Idk i just search "portland skill" on the same gph channel and literally 20 answer saying no & bad

[forest palm]

again you can ignore them

[ocean terrace]

I'd trust what they say then

[forest palm]

25% chance skills are some of the most cope relient skills in the game

[ocean terrace]

every 20s too, yeah mb

[sinful relic]

with auto complete, is there a way to make it so they clear the entire thing before boss?

[forest palm]

no, auto clear only does the minimum

[sinful relic]

shame

[ocean terrace]

is cowpens recommended to use for a brand new player? alongside the newbie fleet (asking for a friend)

probably with Pennsyl/Alabama and Unicorn

[wind hazel]

yes just use your 2 campaign fleets for opsi in the beginning, until you have more options to choose from

[cobalt rapids]

yes

[forest palm]

Cowpens does have tech that's worth dragging her to 120, but I don't know how well she works into the late game

[ocean terrace]

I know she's a good secondary healer but just wasn't sure for brand new players if she's worth using

but they won't have access to good CVs I think? except medal shop ig

[wind niche]

How good is Lexington 2?

[hollow gust]

Well if you are a newbie she will be your best carrier

[wind niche]

How good is she vs other UR carriers since I have several?

[wind hazel]

she excels against Light bosses

and there's only... uh one other gacha UR CV that excels in Light, which is part of her team

[wind niche]

What is the other one?

[wind hazel]

actually it's 2 but fritz isn't part of the EU fleet so

[ocean terrace]

Yorkie II

[vast sparrow]

What was the old boss in 15-3

[soft raft]

Old?

[wind niche]

Well Okie Dokie. What is the third backline ship I should use with Yorktown 2 and Lexington 2??

[soft raft]

Wdym by old? They haven't swapped out the boss if that's what you mean

[wind hazel]

kearsarge

[vast sparrow]

Hold on, when was Chapter 15 released

[wind hazel]

oct 19 2023

[ocean terrace]

what... where tf is W16

[vast sparrow]

How the fuck is Zuihou here

[soft raft]

Because the devs said it so

[vast sparrow]

I swear theres another boss

[wind hazel]

because dev decided that...

[soft raft]

Iirc she was introduced as a boss NPC before becoming a playable character

Heck the super carrier node is based off of her IRL self

[vast sparrow]

I mustve sleeping this whole time

[wind hazel]

maybe

[vast sparrow]

I bought every shit i can except Dorm Food

[wind hazel]

what should we do with this important info? 😭

[vast sparrow]

Welp

[vast sparrow]

2nd Floor is useless thats all

[ocean terrace]

is it? I've run low on morale plenty times during this event
I'd be cooked without 2nd floor

[white agate]

2nd floor is op for farming morale

[ivory sigil]

i need her rerun my cv is kinda homeless rn

[hollow plank]

how much of the blueprints should I keep if I don't have the PR ships yet?
Or do I scrap all these as well and just coin all the way?

Also... how do i convert these or sacrifice them ? Thank you!

[ocean terrace]

you gotta wait till your ship is dev30 to convert them to protocores

or else the game forces you to use the blueprints you have to develop your ship

so if you wanna convert to protocores, you shouldn't convert any of your general blueprints to specific ships yet, unless they're dev30

[hollow plank]

Ohh.. okay.Gotcha., Thank you so much!

[wind hazel]

if you don't have any of the ships yet, those ship blueprints are all cooked. you can't turn them into protocore 💀

[hollow plank]

Sorry, one last, and does it matter if i convert htem to a certain PR series? or will they give the same prototype cores? I have one , neptune. is my understanding correc thta I can convert the general BP to her then i iwll have an option for protoype cores?

[wind hazel]

dont touch these

[tulip tinsel]

gold gives 5 rainbow 20 iirc

[ocean terrace]

if neptune is dev30 then yeah, you can convert the low series ones to her

don't convert the high series ones though, in case you wanna convert them to useful PRs

[hollow plank]

howcome? 😮 i can't for neptune if she is my dev30?

[wind hazel]

do you have the ships or not

[hollow plank]

got it. Thanks! whihc ones are considered part of the high series? XD

[hollow plank]

I have neptune, yes! i think i got it now based on what Husky mentioned. Thank you!

edit: sorry, i forgot about her during my initial post. LOL xD

[wind hazel]

if you have neptune at dev30, then these 11 can be converted to protocore

you can also convert general blueprints series 1 into Neptune for further protocore conversion

or series 2, 3, 4 etc

what's worrying is that you have so many other PR1 blueprints

[ocean terrace]

anything PR5 and below are useless right?

and should be used for protocore

[tulip tinsel]

they can be coined so yes

[sinful relic]

so good news i can finally grind more, ive unlocked the 2nd floor. 2 levels and i can push to 12-1. is there anything else i need to work on?

[wind hazel]

kinda yes, anchorage doesn't need that many with catchup, and i dont think there's any other PR ship below 5 is that useful

[tulip tinsel]

12-4

[white agate]

ibuki, ibuki is 100% useful

[sinful relic]

i know, ill get there, my ships are like a few levels off 100.

[wind hazel]

no urgency to warrant converting bps for her

[tulip tinsel]

she's coinable

[hollow plank]

i'm a returning player. 🥲 Back in the day, there was only PR 1 and then PR 2 just started then I had quit xD

[ocean terrace]

never heard anyone recommend Ibuki except for IJN tech

[white agate]

my opsi cleartime says it warrants coining her

[wind hazel]

i see, then that's fine

[tulip tinsel]

sounds like personal opinion

[white agate]

she is just good to clear weak mobs fast with her augment and preload

[ocean terrace]

I see I see

[hollow plank]

Got it. I'm good to go. Thank you guys!

[wind hazel]

ibuki is good ship but it's not the same impact as something like Anchorage

[soft raft]

*If you don't have Unzen

[strange flame]

hello, returning player to the game. has the unzen event been rerun already? the wiki hasnt listed a date

[white agate]

tbh, once ancho is overtaken by the other ur vanguards you have ibuki remains the only good pr togheter with halford for padding i think

[tulip tinsel]

like 1-2 month ago

[soft raft]

Yes
The wiki just hasn't really updated in a while

[ocean terrace]

oh you can't enhance PR and DR ships?

[soft raft]

Halford!? Lmfao what

[tulip tinsel]

no

[strange flame]

does that mean im just screwed and cant ever get her?

[wind hazel]

we're not talking about opsi QoL ship here..........

[soft raft]

Dev levels are both enhance and limit break

[tulip tinsel]

that's what dev level for

[white agate]

does sge clear faster than ibuki? guess i am gonna unzen,ibuki, bayard then

[soft raft]

She will be archived permanently sometime like next year

[white agate]

good avi padding for events low oil fleet ngl

[strange flame]

does that mean she will be obtainable through the special banner?

[soft raft]

Yes but just wait for perma pity

[wind hazel]

like i get what you're saying lol, but that's not the topic

[strange flame]

what is that?

[ocean terrace]

the UR pity where you choose a UR after 400 pulls
she'll be added to it around summer/autumn 2026 I'm pretty sure

[white agate]

guess you use lion for bossfleet?

[strange flame]

is running the event d3 with the double oil bonus thing worth or should i just run a thin fleet and spam it?

[tulip tinsel]

it saves you time

[ocean terrace]

lmao is pure dps vanguard niche just fast auto opsi clear

[wind hazel]

if you wanna farm hvar, 1:1 and spam several fleet

[white agate]

yes, full preload too

[soft raft]

She's literally flat out better than ibuki

[white agate]

what does the tulipa ur do here? is she better than unzen?

[wind hazel]

im not sure if that's true for fast clear fleet

[wind hazel]

tbh idk, just testing her lmao

that spot was Kron's

[strange flame]

do they put the old ur weapons from events in the gear lab?

[wind hazel]

eventually yes

some are still missing, even gold CB gun

[white agate]

where is my ur Table

[strange flame]

aah, do i need 4 fleets to start farming opsi, and does it take a long ahh time to farm for the materials needed for the good guns?

[wind hazel]

you do not necessarily need that many fleet

[stone sluice]

Has SP a higher rate to drop hvar prints?

[wind hazel]

but yes material farming is ongoing process, do your opsi daily and you'll get them

[white agate]

we don't know, canonly infer gold ship drop may be slightly better in sp than hard

[ocean terrace]

can only do once a day tho, also no oil cap

[strange flame]

does opsi take oil and mood?

[stone sluice]

I mean whether it’s worth going for SP or investing that oil on d3

[white agate]

sure , have fun not getting the ur vouchers

[white agate]

gives exp, but no affinity

[strange flame]

to effeciently level up pr and dr ships of my choice, should i snipe the lowest duration projects?

[whole crypt]

not like it matters when you can't do it more than once a day

[upbeat wagon]

30k with 9 bp with the current trend i aint getting more than 1 hvar

[stone sluice]

You mean the currency to get the UR dd?

[strange flame]

what are the UR vouchers?

[upbeat wagon]

is harbin worth investing atp, how powercrept is she

[upbeat wagon]

Seems like a w15 ship solely

[stone sluice]

I got the UR dd already and have plenty of cores to buy a dozen UR bullins so that second copy is not a priority

[stone sluice]

How much oil do you have in storage?
I estimate Im grinding one hvar every 50k oil

[hardy whale]

should i buy any of these

[upbeat wagon]

30k

[strange flame]

oh so the medium 5 hours researchers are better than the 1.5 ive been spamming. What is D, Q, and H mean?

[upbeat wagon]

running 1:1 tho

[eternal basin]

So needing a little help, what’s the build for Lexington II?

[white agate]

1. getting the second ur copy is a prio
2. if you really had all those bulins you would already have 5 hvar
   3)if you had that many ur bulins that would mean you have played enough to do the daily sp stage for 178 oil

[ocean terrace]

you'll notice this but all H researches uses cubes, all Q researches are gear, G is random blueprint etc

but new players should avoid H and expensive researches, usually low research time is better

[stone sluice]

2. I do not. I have 3 I started playing during first yowrtown II run and got the hvar from the shop. I got 1 from grinding during the rerun and one from the shop.
3. true, I could go for a very cheap run

[soft raft]

Depends on where you want to use her

[eternal basin]

Is she better for boss or mob?

[hollow gust]

She can be used anywhere

[sick kettle]

get the ap box and tokens

[stone sluice]

I reckon you can get around 80k oil during the rest of the event so you might get up to 4 hvars if you keep 1:1

[strange flame]

i got all the event ships now, should i just save cubes now or should i keep rolling for potential lexington copies cause i dont have a lot of rainbow bulins -_-

[ocean terrace]

How to pull on UR event?
Pull until you get the new UR ship.

Got the new UR ship, what now?
Check your remaining cubes.

a) A lot, more than 1000++: Pull until you get all the ships.
b) Hmm, under 1000 but more than 500: Do 3 pull a day until you get everyone/end of event.
c) 200-500ish: 1 Light OR event banner per day max. Make a choice.
d) Under 200: Go back to 1 Light daily, save your cubes for next UR event.

never worth pulling for dupes tho

[fast frigate]

is it worrh to do 2x oil consumption 2x reward on D3 stages or should i js do regular

[ocean terrace]

it's just a time-saver, double rewards, double oil/morale consumption

[tulip tinsel]

that's not always true but yes

[strange flame]

ty bro, that is so helpful deadass

[ocean terrace]

except if you're close to pity right?

[tulip tinsel]

that too, and to get out of ur bulin hell

[ocean terrace]

like if you had tons of cubes and no UR bulins?

[strange flame]

i had 400 cubes and no ur bulins -_-

[ocean terrace]

I don't think 400 is a ton

[tulip tinsel]

that's just minimum

[strange flame]

yeah

Im not that high level and this account is from my hs days so didnt have that much time to play so its not that advanced

[tulip tinsel]

like if you have idk 1k+ cube it's safe to gamble but up to you

[strange flame]

do i just play and eventually i can buy bulins from the core exchange?

[ocean terrace]

I probably could've pulled for Lex II dupes but oh well, used my bulins already

[upbeat wagon]

yes

[ocean terrace]

yes and 1 UR bulin from cruise pass every 2 months
and sometimes in event point milestones like this event

[tulip tinsel]

iirc i pulled for 3 lion dupes lol

but that was insane rng

[strange flame]

what is cruise pass?

[upbeat wagon]

what is most worth thing to buy in this game?

[white agate]

dockspace

[ocean terrace]

double gems

[upbeat wagon]

after f2p gems

[upbeat wagon]

[ocean terrace]

altho the premium winter pack is nice

gives you a UR bulin and 2 SR bulins too and 3.9k gems

[white agate]

nah, not worth it

what does the pack give?

[upbeat wagon]

it prob costs like 50 dollars lmao

[white agate]

for how many money?

[ocean terrace]

lmao look at it before giving an opinion
$36

if you need the UR bulin, it's good though double gems wins in pure gem value

[strange flame]

are certain types of ships more impactful than others as in, are cruisers more impactful than destroyers for example

[upbeat wagon]

still expensive i was thinking more 10

[white agate]

kinda competitive with the x2 gem packs

[ocean terrace]

yeah go double gems

[wind hazel]

ship dependent, not hull dependent

[sweet delta]

I'd say large cruisers are more impactful than munitions ships

[white agate]

ship hull type is only a thing in hard mode and for some skills

[strange flame]

is there no faster way than catchup to get dr ships maxed without coin upgrade thing?

[onyx flame]

spend more coins

[strange flame]

for example brest or nakhimov

[ocean terrace]

what. nakhimov isn't catchup-able or coinable

only DR4 ships and under are coinable

[weary gust]

That's why they want a faster way.
No, research for current PR/DRs is much slower than seasons with catchup/coining. It takes months to finish a ship.

[onyx flame]

your only method for ship that isnt coinable is to get the print via research, thou focusing on season oilder than 8 is dubious

[ocean terrace]

ah my bad, ty

[onyx flame]

avg 3-4 months is not bad tbh considering coinup is like slightly less than 2 months

[upbeat wagon]

What commisions should I do, I have been doing the ones that give oil mainly so far

[tulip tinsel]

those are good

[weary gust]

Commission priority: Gems > Cubes > Cog chips > Oil > everything else.

If you're active you'll exhaust all the good daily comms and have to start picking trash comms just to fill time if you're unlucky with urgent comms.

[soft raft]

And avoid the one that costs 1.2k oil

[ocean terrace]

does Sandy want a normal DD gun or fast one?

[white agate]

if you mean smh like the blue fast gun, hell no

[onyx flame]

slap that z46 gun on and call it a day

[ocean terrace]

wish I had it lol, all my DD gun options are purple poverty

[forest palm]

Which is fine...

[ocean terrace]

yeah just slapping the only purple DD gun on qgg on every ship I can lol

[stoic badge]

What is currently the best bb comp for medium/heavy armor? Is it lion, mecklenburg and bis2? This is just for opsi.

[keen flower]

i made a new acc after i lost my old one
i got the UR on the first pull, is there some kind of hidden rate up shit
also does rainbow lb exist or is it gold only

do i need to get more?
or is one enough

[onyx flame]

ur bulins exist, you get them mostly spec core shop

[keen flower]

should i still spend builds on the UR banner since its new acc?

try to get 200 for extra copy?

[ocean terrace]

How to pull on UR event?
Pull until you get the new UR ship.

Got the new UR ship, what now?
Check your remaining cubes.

a) A lot, more than 1000++: Pull until you get all the ships.
b) Hmm, under 1000 but more than 500: Do 3 pull a day until you get everyone/end of event.
c) 200-500ish: 1 Light OR event banner per day max. Make a choice.
d) Under 200: Go back to 1 Light daily, save your cubes for next UR event.

[white agate]

yeah, probably she is your best ur ship for a while; especially if new account

[tulip tinsel]

useless if not mlb

[keen flower]

its mostly cuz this is he 1st pull of the acc
so im lacking on ships

so idk if its better to just get more SR and SSR

[onyx flame]

who got that new cheeky guide

[ocean terrace]

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

[white agate]

yeah there was the newbie guide reworked somewhere

[ocean terrace]

this?

[keen flower]

its been like 3-5 years since i last played AL
i legit forgot what to do

[onyx flame]

anyway just give this a read, you can filter out the newbie fleet for 1 or 2 ships for good gold if you have them
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[ocean terrace]

cheeky's making a new newbie guide?

[hardy whale]

wasnt paying attention to OpSi story and now im lost, do i still have any quest to do or am i free? i dont see any more of the ! or ? on the map

[white agate]

tbh, both previous guides are good, also the riceist guide too should still be ok

[valid forge]

how often appear events where you can instantly finish learning skills 10 times a day?

[onyx flame]

cheeky making a newer more up to date gude iirc

[white agate]

misses only opsi

[viscid swift]

twice a year max

[keen flower]

well can somebody answer if i should still pull on the event banner just for the SR and SSR?

[ocean terrace]

speak of the devil

[valid forge]

so buying extra slots for learning may make sense?

[viscid swift]

not unless you buy gems with real money

[white agate]

nah, tbh 2 slots for skills are more than enough, 3 or more are overkill

[onyx flame]

go back to 1 light pull a day

[valid forge]

okay

[ivory sigil]

Wait 5h D > than 8h ??

then why did i just got someone said get 8h??? #gameplay-help message

[ocean terrace]

Guam rerun in Jan so save min 400 coobs for her

[hollow gust]

8 hours are usually so ass

[white agate]

8h one is trash beyond redemption

[tulip tinsel]

too long

[ocean terrace]

usually shorter time >
cos more research can be done

[white agate]

tbh between guam and laffeii i am pretty sure laffeii would be the better one to mlb

[onyx flame]

i only get 8hr D if im missing a smidge of prints to finish a ship that or the rest of the options are tragic

[ocean terrace]

either way you want Guam from gacha

[ivory sigil]

168 cube per month right?
So assume jan and feb that's 300+ cube assume not roll for any clickbait banner

[white agate]

dunno, if getting guam hinders you from getting 400 cubes ready for the 1st new UR of the new year no imo

[ocean terrace]

idk about you but I'm not skipping Guam

[white agate]

after all if the new ur is a bakliner she will be more useful

[white agate]

me neither, i got 1100 cubes

[ocean terrace]

I guess we'll see when a new player asks around that time

[white agate]

main point is: for the guam banner the true UR is laffeii

[ivory sigil]

Goôdluck geting guam in 20 rolls

[ocean terrace]

isn't Guam more useful outside of campaign

[onyx flame]

just win 4head

[tulip tinsel]

You get like 40 free pulls on guam

So 320 cube

[keen flower]

Holy discord is fucking dying

[ocean terrace]

she has armor break and great AA, Laffey is tanky ash

[white agate]

dunno, laffeii use contentwise is more wide imo, epsecially for a new player

[ocean terrace]

I'll ask when I get both of them then I guess

[keen flower]

For most event banner the other ships are so so right

[white agate]

yes, unless UR event the other ships have a difficult time contesting

[ivory sigil]

Yeah i want to ask @wind hazel about it too,

iirc Mori did mention he had multiple new acc

Can i ask that is all of newbie acc had hidden UR rate up

[keen flower]

I'm pretty sure my first acc also got the UR early

[ivory sigil]

Cuz im not believing that i just save up 400 cube for 1 Lexi2

Just to realize i get her within 40

[keen flower]

Then 2nd ur I pity

[tulip tinsel]

it's all rng

[ocean terrace]

just be glad you got lucky

[tulip tinsel]

i got 3 lion dupes under 100 pulls

[strange flame]

what are qualities of the EX boss in the event and what kind of fleet should i run for it?

[undone plover]

Laffey is better for pvp and for this meta fight
Generally guam is a better bossing tank and she has more dmg and buff

But laffii also has some synergy with kear and lexii if u are missing ykii

[ivory sigil]

I believe there is someone out there with 100 sub account for each UR Ship lol

(Sorry that exagerrated, 10 for most imo)

[ocean terrace]

mmm I see, I'll ask again tho when the rerun occurs

[undone plover]

Yeah always best to ask when u are ready to mlb
Things can change between now and then

[keen flower]

how often do you get the UR thing?

[ivory sigil]

Why bother choose when u can get both

[undone plover]

2 per month

• 1 every 2 months
• 1 every ur event and ur even rerun so +8 per year

[ocean terrace]

other than 1 time rewards for new players

[undone plover]

Yeah that 2

[ocean terrace]

still wonder how I got 6 in 2 weeks to this day

[undone plover]

[ocean terrace]

if I can I would, but feb UR could be amazing

[ivory sigil]

black magic

[ocean terrace]

I haven't bought anything yet

but I'm very tempted to buy the prem winter pack with the UR bulin

also cos Meck skin

[ivory sigil]

Im not falling for flandre skin her OG wearlesser
-# But yeah indeed some skin in AZ just doesnt make sense, most submarrine get more clothes etc

But i will see if Gouden skin... tempt me or not

count the number of fabric on her skin: #game-news message 3

[strange flame]

also, are the fate simulations absolutely necessary for the ships's function? like azuma and hakuryuu>

[sweet delta]

Azuma and Hakuryuu are powercrept even after fate simulation, but if you must use them, then their fates are quite important. Some other ships' fates offer little

[keen flower]

i just figured out these did something

[lucid crest]

How to expand range?

[ivory sigil]

Brainded like me and pick the doubleline

[white agate]

most of times you use double line, in w14,15 you may use circle defense sometimes

[keen flower]

never knew it had gameplay mechanic

[ivory sigil]

1. There isnt

2. There is cat

[soft raft]

Circle in 14? I think you meant 13

[viscid swift]

it does

[strange flame]

oh -_-, damn i spent so much time on them too. what are better alternatives?

[viscid swift]

might want to add it to the progression guide

[white agate]

yes, tbh i still have to enter w14 since i did not need the gems

[onyx flame]

your fleetspeed and no of ships affect it but after you 100% it goes away so i wouldnt worry too much about it

[ivory sigil]

Idk whether i would ask for adding assumption into guide but as a newbie for 4 weeks i do encounter some weird question that

• What should i do when im out of plate (wait till reach Chap9 for more plate drop)
• Out of coin etc (avoid +7 gear etc/ farm at Unison/...
• out of oil etc (comms/ weekly)
• out of moral etc (dorm)

would be great if u add those questionare / Q&A part

[ocean terrace]

patience is a virtue

[ivory sigil]

And yeah please add the "no catch up if u want tenrai quicker" and choose handbook to PR1 dev mission

@viscid swift
i dont want any crazy one pick dev Handbook for PR 6 like me another anymore

[wind niche]

How good is Kearsarge, Yorktown 2, and Lexington 2 fleet?

[viscid swift]

grind, grind, wait, wait

not much more to it than that

if it becomes a common question we will add it though

[upbeat wagon]

oh its possible to get 2 bp's from a single d3?

[viscid swift]

that probably falls outside the scope of the progression guide and falls more into a PR guide

[strange flame]

to upkeep gold when we are waiting for events, what should we do?

[white agate]

nothing, not like you won't get gold during the event

[strange flame]

cause researches cost gold and resources

[viscid swift]

yes

[strange flame]

so to cover those costs, is there an optimal farming routine?

[ivory pawn]

Farm D3 or farm 12-1/12-4 while low costing event.

[ivory sigil]

there isnt anyone answer that on PR guide

Hence why i end up pick PR6 from the 1st day

[ivory sigil]

Can u example a lowcost team?
Mine fleet still 801 per 3sorties

[ocean terrace]

for new players it's very very hard to lowcost

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/research-focus

[upbeat wagon]

Unicorn and dd/ddg

And crossfleets on second team

[ivory sigil]

another just use lion / just use guam????

[ivory pawn]

I don't plan to lowcost this event because lazy, so unfortunately I haven't the faintest what works this event.
It does need multiple crossfleets, so if you lack URs you might not be able to pull it off.

[ocean terrace]

no, 0lb ranger and cassin/downes iirc

[ivory pawn]

Ironically Lion/Guam are horrible options.

[ocean terrace]

you need good gear and x-fleet

[ivory sigil]

@viscid swift
No i mean this Dev misssion in handbook

I picked series 6 mindlessly thinking it would be harmless from 1st day

Turn out i just locked myself having tenrai for 6 months straight

[ivory pawn]

There isn't really an answer, just build whoever eventually. No rush, prioritize useful ships first.

[viscid swift]

sigh

[ocean terrace]

they picked PR6 for flandre and now cannot progress with those missions due to low faction tech

[onyx flame]

Uni + a good DD/DDG and a lil cross fleet can clear everything, i run uni + og laffey with only I404 xfleet but my laffey is oathed

[viscid swift]

we might need an updated PR guide at this rate

[ivory pawn]

Please tell me you're not focusing season 6.

[ocean terrace]

they're not but they did initially

[ivory sigil]

I am not longer after got roasted in #should i Pr6 or Pr8

[ivory pawn]

The Research Academy is unrelated to the handbook mission, so good thing you swapped.

[sudden karma]

hey yall is there a tier list or guide i can look at?

[ocean terrace]

they just won't be able to complete the handbook missions for a while due to faction tech, that's all

[ivory sigil]

But the Handbook cant be revert

[ivory pawn]

Once you get the tech points, feel free to build Flandre and finish the mission, but like I said earlier, there is no rush.

[viscid swift]

how new are you?

[strange flame]

i just looked at the research guide. essentially, are we relying on catchup to get the older ships?

[viscid swift]

no, you're relying on coining

[sudden karma]

returning player havent played since 2023 so im hella lost, account is level 72 rn

[viscid swift]

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

catchup is a bonus or to be turned into prototype cores

[sudden karma]

sweet, thank you!

[white agate]

basically you get an old pr ship only if either

• you like it
• it has a strong tech stat bonus
• all your ships are worse than it

[strange flame]

aah, since i just installed last week, iwas on 5 cause ive never seen brest before and wanted her, but instead i should be going for 7 or 8 for better gear value and can coin the old ships

[ocean terrace]

or faction tech

[white agate]

not worth it, just mlb your ships of that faction

[strange flame]

wont it still take a lot of coins, to max out those ships

[ocean terrace]

hence the usual route of Roon -> FDG, Agir/AvP, Meck too by the end of it

to help with IB tech for useful ships

[ivory pawn]

She'll be coinable in like a month or two, so you can work on coining her later while researching stuff that isn't coinable.

[ocean terrace]

lol all those old PR ships aren't really worth it other than Anchorage, might as well get some faction tech for better ships

[stark quiver]

What two frontline auxes increase dd ehp the most in 20-30 second fights like d3 mob

[strange flame]

also, are all these ships just bad in a modern setting???

[wind hazel]

the bouquet

[stark quiver]

What’s the second

[white agate]

prowler, don't it literally work every time?

[ivory sigil]

-# At this point i might consider marry Willy D as a soulmate for being dummy for whatever reason

[wind hazel]

idk

[white agate]

ok, guess not

[stark quiver]

It lasts for 1.5s

[viscid swift]

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

[wind hazel]

elite dmg control maybe

[viscid swift]

blogging goes to #al-general btw

[stark quiver]

Oh shit you’re right

[wind hazel]

if dd are eu

either that or blue towel

[stark quiver]

Porter ehp is super bad

[white agate]

what about VH armor? doesn't that kinda help more due to the heavy armor and more starting hp healed by unicorn?

[viscid swift]

does anyone know of a template on tierlist maker with all of the URs?

[wind hazel]

dd cant use it

[ocean terrace]

https://tiermaker.com/create/azur-lane-all-shipgirls--16619820
maybe this?

haven't looked at it myself, just based off title

[sweet delta]

Current Update: 12.1.2025

[ocean terrace]

only missing 2 URs then ig

[strange flame]

aw man azuma seems so weak :(

[wind hazel]

add your own, just 2 image

[stark quiver]

Jimmy has one without the new 2 URs

[viral flicker]

Anyone free to make me a team that can 3 star chap 13 and 14 fully without any trouble

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/#chapter-13
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief

[viral flicker]

But what team to run how to know that

[wind hazel]

if you read you will know

[sweet delta]

if you WHAT

[onyx flame]

en greatest weakness

[viral flicker]

Hmm

Done reading but how am I supposed to make everything 10 10

I don't have that much resources

[wind hazel]

farm them from w12

[viral flicker]

I need gems

[wind hazel]

gem is not needed to make your gear 10

[viral flicker]

No I mean

[viscid swift]

open your wallet then

[ivory sigil]

u can assume w13 w14 are endgame

[viral flicker]

I need gems so I have to do 13

[viscid swift]

not like 3 starring W14 is a walk in the park though

[wind hazel]

so do it

[viral flicker]

I deleted my wallet

[umbral briar]

sorry if wrong channel, but the wiki not update anymore?
