[viral flicker]

Is there any other way to gems

[ivory sigil]

Better check in #game-news instead then...

[viral flicker]

Like war archives or anything

[wind hazel]

gem commissions, but entirely rng

[ivory sigil]

comms and N rarity memories

And some are 3 star hard map etc

[wind hazel]

island planner has some i heard, but it's lengthy

[onyx flame]

it is not a lot from island planner

[umbral briar]

sometime wanna see where can get the blueprint equipment

[viral flicker]

Can anyone explain why she died? During W13 1

[strange flame]

kinda sucks i installed so late, this year seemed like a good one for new ships and old reruns. how fast can i get a dr without coin maxed out starting from basically nothing -_-?

[ivory sigil]

tell your fleet?

Does u use San diago?

[onyx flame]

if its from research avg is 3-4 months longer if your new, from coin up about 50 days if you buy 10 bps a day

[ocean terrace]

well if you look at the game when she dies, you'll know

[onyx flame]

dont even gotta, look at that gear 😔

[umbral briar]

thanks

[viral flicker]

I auto

[wind hazel]

you're lacking AA. severely lacking AA

[ocean terrace]

yes but you can see while autoing, what your ships die to

[strange flame]

wait, i think i just noticed, does brest not have coin up?

[viral flicker]

Oh that's why btw what is aa?

[ocean terrace]

probably enemy planes though since W13 is known for that

[wind hazel]

and again, if you read the guide, you will know what to do

[strange flame]

she doesnt have a coin icon like the others do

[onyx flame]

season 5 dr hasnt been added yet (soon ish in like a month?)

[wind hazel]

Anti-Air

[ocean terrace]

DR5 and PR6 right?

[onyx flame]

should be

[viral flicker]

Oh

[strange flame]

oh nice, so its worth finishing her off, while i immediately start research on 7 rn so i can begin work on nakhimov

[onyx flame]

finishing as in from research or from building in the shipyard

[ocean terrace]

also why is Uni flag and not FDG or Bis

[autumn yarrow]

i got 18 hvar prints in 31k points. is my rng really this bad?

[viral flicker]

Does it even matter?

[onyx flame]

i only got 6 so far at about 30k

[wind hazel]

in your case, no. that fleet will die no matter where you put her

[ivory sigil]

W13 and W14 W15 are highly testing the truth about how good your Fleet can understand AA (anti-air) and not even slap powerfulship would help,

You need actual ship that is GOOD in AA buffing and AA gear that is worthly

[viral flicker]

Make me a fleet fr

[strange flame]

also within the context of the tier list i was just sent, thats primarily focussed on endgame content, and for now, i can just keep using what i have to do whats available? cause i havent even done 13-3 yet, and it feels like itll take me a really long time to catch up and get the ships that i missed out on seeing as unzen, lion, hakuhou and stuff are like 8 months away from entering the ur pity thing

[ocean terrace]

well no, it's W13 and W15 for AA

[wind hazel]

you were handed a guide that specifically tell you what to do, stop being lazy

[viral flicker]

Too much reading

[ivory sigil]

Thanks for telling us.

Might as well search a guide on youtube for it

[wind hazel]

no gem for you then

[viral flicker]

Sed

[stark quiver]

Understandable

[upbeat wagon]

[autumn yarrow]

omg i thought i had it bad. im sorry for you mang

[upbeat wagon]

traf wants fast firing gun right

[wind hazel]

if you can copy this, it's good enough to deal with w13

[strange flame]

also for opsi, what should i be doing for that to get kicked off, and how much should i farm it to be optimal per day

[viral flicker]

I don't even have all of them leveled up

[upbeat wagon]

Is HIT stat AA good on carriers?

[wind hazel]

.

[viral flicker]

Yea

[wind hazel]

hit always good

[onyx flame]

if you want yo gems gotta work for it, either in game or irl

[upbeat wagon]

I thought it only affect bb gun ty

[wind hazel]

cv doesn't magically 100% hit rate on enemies...

[hardy whale]

does opsi not affect morale?

[viral flicker]

Is war archives worth completing

[ivory sigil]

It is not gonna be helpful but i think maybe a youtube video would help?
https://youtu.be/m_M5L94HBPU?si=KHqVvKYF3zscsrzm tho it is 2020 so please take it as a grain of salt

[hardy whale]

No meaning it doesnt affect?

sweet time to grind opsi

[tulip tinsel]

no morale cost

[viral flicker]

Ty a lot

Mind telling me how to figure out who is aa

[tulip tinsel]

i wouldn't recommend an ancient 100x outdated yt guide

[sweet delta]

just3c the GOAT

[viral flicker]

It's not that old

Btw how many chapters are there

[tulip tinsel]

only 5y

[ivory sigil]

I wouldnt bother search until i heard the

[strange flame]

is the next rerun going to be sovetsky soyuz? and if so, is she worth getting?

[viscid swift]

no

[ocean terrace]

Guam in Jan, Soyuz is likely April-ish with a new UR in Feb

[strange flame]

-_- how will i have enough cubes for all these events

[jolly condor]

is the second dupe of will D. worth getting?

[ocean terrace]

yes.

[jolly condor]

💳

[onyx flame]

get lucky with gacha ez

[ocean terrace]

reruns give you vouchers (free pulls) though, so some hope

[strange flame]

what are these vouchers?

[tulip tinsel]

the video itself is put together nice and all but the composition and stuff is extremely outdated

[strange flame]

im guessing thats no for both?

[viscid swift]

no, read my name

[tulip tinsel]

she's worth it

[ocean terrace]

when is a UR not worth getting lol

[viscid swift]

Kronshtadt on her rerun

[tulip tinsel]

rainbow bb is peak

[forest palm]

Shimakaze wasn't worth on rerun either, nor was Ulrich

[viral flicker]

Is amagi AA?

[ocean terrace]

I think he might need to read progression guide properly...

[viral flicker]

I quit I don't need gems

Bye Ty for all the time and help u all

[jolly condor]

is the second dupe of will D. worth getting?

[tulip tinsel]

might as well get it it's not that hard to get

[ivory sigil]

-# Imagine me find a Chapter 13 video guide that made in 2025

Well if he/that guy really want the best guide, he need to combine both knowledge from the vid and the guide that gave by cheeky

[onyx flame]

saves you a ur bulin
also someone did the math you get around 400? of the currency needed to buy will D so its pretty easy to get the last few needed

[tulip tinsel]

should be dirt cheap after you do all mission rewards and stuff

[ivory sigil]

Or else he might just gem

[onyx flame]

free if you are in hvar grinding hell

[upbeat wagon]

Between these (minus ply) who would use ply gun best or should i use it on main fleet

[ivory sigil]

Man i still stuck at 6

[keen flower]

letmost vanguard take most damage right

[strange flame]

what is hvar?

[broken kayak]

rockets

[knotty jolt]

Rocket fighters

[onyx flame]

prob still ply ngl

[knotty jolt]

It's short hand name for the f6f Grumman hellcat hvar mounted

[atomic solstice]

helena

[forest palm]

Yat Sen, then Helena, the rest use DD guns over CL guns

[upbeat wagon]

Im not gonna be using her until dr5 catchup comes around sadly

[tulip tinsel]

is yat sen obtainable rn ?

[onyx flame]

she's in perma iirc

[atomic solstice]

has she ever not been?

[upbeat wagon]

Why are DD guns preferred?

[tulip tinsel]

faster, some ships want barrage spam for skill req and stuff

[atomic solstice]

I swear shes been in perma since the beginning of time

[ocean terrace]

why do people build the DE ships?

[forest palm]

Chinese Ships? some are genuinely good

[ocean terrace]

they're just tanky no? what else is there to them

[forest palm]

there is tanky

[atomic solstice]

ddgs explode

[knotty jolt]

They're also fairly strong for their oil cost

[onyx flame]

chiness dress look good

[ocean terrace]

hm, haven't heard anything about them in particular

[forest palm]

Ning + Yat + Ping is one of the bulkiest comps in the game

[ocean terrace]

and that would be used for what content

[forest palm]

campaign

this comp has been in use since around 2018

[knotty jolt]

ning and ping alone carried me through alot when forming my second fleet

[ocean terrace]

I see, it's just an oil-efficient tanky vanguard comp then

[strange flame]

how many copies of cleveland do i need to max her out

[knotty jolt]

4

[broken kayak]

0

[forest palm]

anyway CN has An Shan, Chang Chun, Fu Shun, Tai Yuan, Harbin as well

[tulip tinsel]

which ddg best

[broken kayak]

since u can use bulins

[strange flame]

4 for cleveland meta? so i just need her 4 shards in the shop?

[forest palm]

I think An Shan is the best soloest

[ocean terrace]

I've never heard anything remarkable about them though, whether it's bossing or new player ships etc

[knotty jolt]

wait on those in case dupes drop while farming d3

[broken kayak]

harbin was meta in pvp for a bit

[strange flame]

im gonna stop farming d3 once i get the second ur dd and cleveland meta pieces and dr bps

[onyx flame]

nowadays DDG use case is to low cost

[ocean terrace]

so more of an endgame thing when you wanna farm certain things?

[strange flame]

is that a poor strategy?

[knotty jolt]

usually you stop farming at 60k points

cause at then you'd get all the actual decent stuff from the milestones

[onyx flame]

55k if you dc about saving a bulin

[upbeat wagon]

Is this a bad weapon

[ocean terrace]

you want high and med prio at least

[knotty jolt]

Its ok but most things don't usually use it

[upbeat wagon]

i have like 8 of it and no other yellow dd gun

[stark quiver]

idk why UR vouch is up there when its literally grindable passively

[tulip tinsel]

poverty gear

[keen flower]

at what level should i start to do event missions?

[upbeat wagon]

[strange flame]

i dont see a ur voucher in this event, is my ahh blind

[tulip tinsel]

it's yellow and has a !

[onyx flame]

for the newbs who cant reach sp

[late flame]

for folks who wanna get her early ig

[knotty jolt]

it's those star things you trade in for william d porter

[ocean terrace]

also I'd buy the oil just to farm D3 more

[knotty jolt]

with the exclamation point

[tulip tinsel]

it looks goofy like wdp

[knotty jolt]

impact font exclamation point

[honest tulip]

Do ships lose affinity from dying

[stark quiver]

they lose morale and if you push them on to die anyways, they start losing affinity

[honest tulip]

Oh so it's only when morale is down?

[onyx flame]

only lose affinity if you use em at 0 morale

[stark quiver]

yes

[honest tulip]

oh okay cool. later chapter bosses are annoying

[stark quiver]

you might wnna fix your fleet

[knotty jolt]

they won't from the interaction's i've had with them in general to the point i have them blocked

[late flame]

and gear

[honest tulip]

going to

[ocean terrace]

berke is that you

[quartz island]

What are the best submarine fleets now? Do I need to build around I-404?

[knotty jolt]

best fleet is 404, archerfish, flasher

[tulip tinsel]

archerfish flasher i404 afaik

[knotty jolt]

Best but cheap and easier without 404 would be a wolfpack

[quartz island]

Interesting lol; thanks

[true lichen]

I only ha e 3x 10 point missions left. Thats a total of 235 thingies for will d. Can u really get 400 without buying them?

[late flame]

Yes

[onyx flame]

you get the rest from daily mission + sp

[ivory pawn]

You get 415 for free if you do all the missions.

[true lichen]

Ah okay.

[ivory pawn]

You need 500 for both copies of Willie D.

[true lichen]

Does ex stage give them aswell? I died there

[tulip tinsel]

sp only

[true lichen]

Thank god

[knotty jolt]

EX is only for bragging rights + 500 cog chips

[onyx flame]

whats ex gimick this time round

[stark quiver]

nothing to brag about ex ez mode

[knotty jolt]

we have a 10k point hacker in sandy

maybe he's just really good

[onyx flame]

top of the line gaming chair

[stray crane]

i saw sumone use 3 1;1 unicorns rotate around to farm event should i do that ?

[onyx flame]

no lol

[knotty jolt]

using dupes is kinda sweaty

I'm already sweating by swapping ships around as their morale drains

[late flame]

for EX (normal) i went with ijn cv - got that 500 chips and peaced out

[strange flame]

is the azur lane en community tier list a good reference point?

[onyx flame]

i legit would not bother with tier list if your new

[strange flame]

thats fair, but im not that new, and i just wanted to know if it had any valid points

[stark quiver]

its an alright reference point

[strange flame]

what is the context for its placements?

[flint sonnet]

So what’s gonna be the best team for Lexington 2 now? Yorktown and Essex?

[viscid swift]

tbd

[atomic solstice]

30m H > DR face ?

[viscid swift]

no

[sweet delta]

definitely not essex

[alpine ermine]

I was able for one time to get 1470 gems. I am only commander level 26 and I just started playing about three or four days ago. I won’t be able to buy more gems again. What should I do with them?

[remote yarrow]

#bot-spam /gems

[clear harbor]

Does the Module Development weekly raid only drop blue augments?

Actualy, better question. Is there a way I can farm purple augments?

[ivory pawn]

It sometimes drops purple.
You can upgrade blue to purple (recommended) or just straight craft purples.

[clear harbor]

oh, I didn't realize I can upgrade blues.

Seems like a relatively low investment cost to +10 my purples, should I be doing that? I have ~300 of the yellow upgrade material.

[sweet delta]

300 you can do whatever you want with that much

[clear harbor]

My bad, not 300. 135.

[alpine ermine]

How do you find the expanded option in the dorm? I am very new.

[inland shoal]

You see the area around your dorm with the construction sign? Click that

[alpine ermine]

It says I need an expansion license. Where do I purchase one of those also thank you for telling me that.

[atomic abyss]

the same place that tells you need one

[proper violet]

Am I silly or is pulling for UR dupes actually fine on event since high nuff chance?

[atomic abyss]

silly

[ivory pawn]

Tap the expansion license in that popup to purchase it. Yes it's rather unintuitive.

[proper violet]

But like UR so limited, so if you wanna get that mlb

[atomic abyss]

unless you're like at 190 or maybe 180, no point pulling further

i suppose you could fish with 1 pull on event/day

UR limited, but so are other URs

[ivory pawn]

You use UR bulins to get the MLB, like with every other ship.

[atomic abyss]

if you alr have guam then sure ig

[knotty jolt]

We are getting a rerun of laffey2 and gaum next month in january, and a new UR in Febuary

[atomic abyss]

at your own risk

[proper violet]

Yeah I get that, but doing daily missions of 3 pulls got another one so my brain like dopamine and shi

[alpine ermine]

Thank you

[bleak junco]

Or three if you want the pts

[atomic abyss]

you shdnt even be doing that 3 pull daily mission if you have the UR imo

[knotty jolt]

Triple UR events one month after the other

[atomic abyss]

unless you have like well over a thousand cubes

[knotty jolt]

Save your cubes hard

[proper violet]

Yeah ok

[bleak junco]

Oh this is in the case of having the UR. Okay nevermind

[proper violet]

Just the free daily on event maybe

The cope pulls

[viscid swift]

it's not free if you do it on the event

[proper violet]

Ye -1

Could just collect for next event ur

Or event in general cause fun

[atomic abyss]

that would be my recommendation

[keen flower]

how do i auto clear a stage?
im using clearing mode but it gets turned off after each battle

[ivory pawn]

Are you trying to force your ships to fight when they have no morale?

Let 'em rest in the dorm for a bit, recover their morale, then try again.

[keen flower]

green morale

[ivory pawn]

[keen flower]

auto search activate, then battle goes off
auto search off

im playing on emulator

[ivory pawn]

So am I. We're talking event stage, right?

[keen flower]

no im on story
new acc

[ivory pawn]

Eh, same thing really.

[sweet delta]

what chapter? One of the early stages may be bugged considering how many new players report this

[keen flower]

chapter 2 are all doing this rn
all 4 stage

[clear harbor]

How do I upgrade a blue augment to a purple one? Do I have to upgrade the blue to +10 first?

[ivory pawn]

Yep. And then it'll give you the option on the same screen.

[valid forge]

which augment is better for helena?

[stark quiver]

sword

[sweet delta]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules/

[edgy carbon]

i was looking at the wiki and saw some UR ships cant be constructed and are only from event shops, like i-404, do these events rerun relatively often? or am i cooked

[fair lance]

Every UR event reruns in 2 years and then in about a year after that they get archived and added to the perma pool though we haven't had UR shop be archived yet so we don't know how they will handle it.

[inland shoal]

They rerun once after ~2 years

[ivory pawn]

Like other events, they'll rerun after 2 years and be archived a year after that.

The first one with a shop UR actually reruns next month, funnily enough.

[sweet delta]

if you look for a specific event, it usually reruns after 2+ years and then goes permanent after another 1 year.
If you look for any UR, there are many new or rerun UR events throughout the year.

[clear harbor]

UR shop be archived yet so we don't know how they will handle it.
Is this referring to URs that can be bought in the Exchange Shop?

[soft raft]

No

[ivory pawn]

It's referring to URs like Willie D.

[fair lance]

Yes it was referring to shop URs.

[soft raft]

The first double UR event hasn't even reran yet

Or at least it won't be for another few weeks

[edgy carbon]

2 years? man i wanted them bc they looked nice, i mioght not even be playing by the time theyre back. ty for the responses

so i should prioritize getting william d porter in this event bc otherwise cooked for two years eh

[ivory pawn]

Well, probably not that cooked from what everyone's been saying about her. But yeah, she and Lexii won't be back for over 2 years on the current schedule.

[edgy carbon]

like shes not that great? i meant from a collection standpoint at least

[sweet delta]

she is great, you should also be building event hard for LexII and Cowpens

[clear harbor]

Yeah, generally you want to get 1 copy of any URs available to avoid having to wait. Can be tough for brand new players, but after a month or two, players should have the resources to claim all URs reliably if they spend wisely.

[ivory pawn]

She's still a UR. You'll still want to get her if you can.

[edgy carbon]

yeah ive got both of those already but no bulins to MLB them, i am learning AL is a long multi week grind for few units, cant just max it out in two weeks and move on to the next

[clear harbor]

Don't worry about Bulins for MLB. Those will come in time. Just make sure to ask which URs to prioritize.

[inland shoal]

And don't put bulins into multiple URs, max one after the other instead

[edgy carbon]

ive got NJ, shinano, and lexi atm, assuming i focus on lexi?

[clear harbor]

I will defer to a veteran player. I think the upcoming URs in the rerun are supposed to be pretty good, too.

[ivory pawn]

Ask again when you have 4 UR bulins available to use.

[clear harbor]

Oh yeah, that's the best advice.

[edgy carbon]

oh you dont even focus on one as you go, you dont bother at all until youre completely ready to max it out?

[clear harbor]

But it's unlikely you'll want to use Bulin on NJ or Shinano. If you play long enough, you can MLB them with the permant pity.

[clear harbor]

It's better to wait until you can MLB in one shot so you avoid partially LBing a UR just to find she got power crept.

[upbeat wagon]

Is shinano used these days, how much is she powercrept

[clear harbor]

Or find you have other more pressing needs.

[cobalt robin]

she got replaced by hakuhou in ijn cv fleet

but she is still good if you dont have hakuhou

[drifting pike]

is there a reason to use both shinano and hakuhou?

[forest palm]

if you lack Amagi

[drifting pike]

I read her skills should buff hakuhou right?

[drifting pike]

I do in fact

[forest palm]

Basically the core comp is Amagi + HKHO + Imp. If you lack Amagi it's Shinano, if you lack HKHO it's Shinano, if you lack Imp it's August. If you lack Amagi and HKHO you use Haku

interestingly if you have a boss that doesn't move much you can just run Amagi + HKHO + Shinano, and if any one of those three that you're missing just fill with Haku

[drifting pike]

who is Imp and why is she core comp?

[late flame]

-# i still cant bear to drop shinano for hkho in opsi lol

[forest palm]

Implacable, she has CC

[late flame]

Implacable for stop

[fair lance]

implacable she can make a boss stop moving so converging torpedos all hit the enemy

[drifting pike]

imp, shinano, hakuhou on the main fleet, right. now for vanguard, just guessing but is unzen on the board? what else should I run vanguard?

[late flame]

If shinano is in then you need kazagumo

[forest palm]

Unzen doesn't do much

[late flame]

• insert tank, sirius

[forest palm]

Guam or some shit with Kaza + Sirius is kind of the basic option

[drifting pike]

I heard Unzen is a good vanguard DPS. but then what else should I run? as full vanguard comp to complement the given main lineup?

[late flame]

what Taz said (swap laffey2 for guam)

[drifting pike]

So sirius and kaza are buff for main dps, what role does laffey2 or guam fill? I read guam doesn't buff CV?

[late flame]

Tank

[rain bobcat]

tank, AA

[drifting pike]

Hmm I don't have guam or laffey2. What other tanks/AA are decent to use (newer player oriented/non-event)? Is kronshtadt a "usable" substitute or the new william D or even a SR?

[late flame]

either works if you lack options

[drifting pike]

any other notable options for implacable for CC? Didn't occur to me she's an event ship as well.

[forest palm]

like I said August

[drifting pike]

Ill start building her next then. I'll keep this in mind for my IJN fleet. Thanks all ❤️

[weary edge]

how good is lex 2, worth building?

[rain bobcat]

formi

[peak fable]

uhhh, so dock space is getting pretty tight at around 315 ish, what's the play?
do I 120 common and rare ships and then trash them?

[forest palm]

315 isn't really high...

also depends on your goals

[peak fable]

I am aware, but I am f2p and don't have many more unlockable gems ahead of me

[atomic solstice]

yes

[forest palm]

F2P gems should be going exclusively to Dorm Space

[atomic solstice]

or retire common/rare ships that are easy to reaquire

use up ur bulins if u have a lot

[peak fable]

yeh been using up my bulins whenever I can, I think I should just start getting through the low rarity units and discard them

thanks

[drifting pike]

How many dorm spaces is like the minimum? I'm at 6 and low spender. Do I get more floors or not needed? I feel like 6 is juuuust not enough for farming and need a 2nd fleet to farm

[atomic solstice]

6 is the usual recommendation

cuz mob fleet morale goes way faster than boss fleet

[knotty jolt]

a second floor shoulda taken precidence over more dorm slots

the second floor copies the first floors dorm slots and it's far cheaper

Ideal scenario woulda been buy one dorm slot then second dorm floor for 6 total slots any further is just qol

[drifting pike]

Damn I did not read that text right then... there goes about 3 skins worth

[atomic solstice]

rip

[misty tree]

Is 5 enough HVARCats or should i go for a 6th

[atomic solstice]

ur good

[knotty jolt]

5 would be enough for what is needed 6th is just incase

[obtuse island]

you got 5 hvars????

[misty tree]

Got 3 from York2 event some year ago, just finished 2 this event

[rain bobcat]

6 if kear gets powercrept. 3-5 if not

[obtuse island]

dang, how many oil did it took for you?

this event

[jolly condor]

I need help with remaking my mob fleet for lexington II. currently it’s lex/uni/?/Agir/tohka/unzen

[obtuse island]

but lexII is suppossed to be for bossing isn't she

[atomic solstice]

have fdg?

[jolly condor]

i was thinking that too, but i already have a boss fleet

[misty tree]

I think something like 60k so far

[jolly condor]

fdg?

[knotty jolt]

friederich der grosse

PR2 DR ship

[atomic solstice]

any ur bb would fit there tbh

what content is it for

[jolly condor]

op si/ campaign

[obtuse island]

i mean, what could you possibly be using over unzen and agir in a bossfleet?

[knotty jolt]

drop lex2 entirely imo for independance and put owari as the flagship for mob fleet

[atomic solstice]

bismarck is right there

[knotty jolt]

tunnel vision
otherwise yeah zwei would work

but this is pretty extreme for a mob fleet

[obtuse island]

pretty extreme is an understatement

[atomic solstice]

this mob fleet can fight god

[jolly condor]

i usually run her with hakuhou and shinano

[knotty jolt]

Also imo i would drop agir till she's atleast dev30

[atomic solstice]

then oumi

[jolly condor]

i’m 2 blueprints away from it i just don’t have enough gold

[rain bobcat]

run oumi on mob

[viscid swift]

How many have you been buying per day

[obtuse island]

agir and unzen are by far your best vanguard ships judging from what you got leveled there, you should be using them for bossing and change the mob fleet vanguard according to the world you're doing or just stick to tank/dps/dps if you're not trying to do anything specific

[jolly condor]

until it reaches 6000 ( the cost per 1)

[peak fable]

does someone know the daily income of the event currency rn? assuming you only do 3x normals and sp? (including daily quest income as well)

[atomic solstice]

idk about the daily quests but from clearing the maps once it should be 1790

[hushed sorrel]

we can try to count them together. maybe we will be able to collect the data
sp gives 800
daily quest with build 3 is 300

[drifting pike]

is it better points-to-oil to run every normal x3 once or keep spamming D3 without even doing the normal x3?

[atomic solstice]

its better to do the x3 once a day

if ur 1:1

[peak fable]

if you use an oil efficient fleet (1-1), then yes

[jolly condor]

if i switch them to the boss fleet who should i use to tank

[drifting pike]

hmm idk if I can have a 1:1 clear up to B3..

[atomic solstice]

sanrui should be able to mob tank opsi, idk about w14/15

[knotty jolt]

laffey and unicorn could likely do it easily

[atomic solstice]

the worlds are so low lvl anyone can do it with unicorn

[viscid swift]

that's 15 BPs a day, way too expensive, should have capped it at 10 a day

[drifting pike]

Guam rerun in a month? is that confirmed?

[atomic solstice]

only 9, its a dr

[viscid swift]

Mob: Oumi, Unicorn, Independence, Ryu Lion, Unzen, Saint Louis
Boss: Bismarck Zwei, Shinano, Hakuhou, Tohka, Helena, Eldridge

[atomic solstice]

oh thats per not total mb

isnt it fine if ur income can sustain it?

[viscid swift]

considering they've run out of coins their income can't sustain it

[knotty jolt]

considering they're broke on coins i'm guessing they can't sustain it

[viscid swift]

not many can, and the ones who can probably don't need to coin older DRs anyway

you're payng 15k coins a day for 5 Blueprints, does that sound like a good deal to you

especially when the previous 10 only cost you 7200 coins

[atomic solstice]

if Im wanting to rush a dr I might but yea thats rough

[stark quiver]

they do have a point

[viscid swift]

15k daily on top of awakening ships, enhancing gear, doing pulls, etc

just not sustainable

[stark quiver]

Cheeky are you getting 2nd porter copy on last day

[atomic solstice]

I remember dropping like 300k on anchorage in one day right when i came back

[rain bobcat]

[atomic solstice]

ts was not sustainable

[viscid swift]

yes

[stark quiver]

oh
so youre farming non lb porter
its kinda cancerous to farm d3 with lb1

[viscid swift]

I already max limit broke her

[stark quiver]

blud

[upbeat wagon]

[atomic solstice]

do hvars need a freeze?

[stark quiver]

if the enemy moves a lot yes

[stark quiver]

are you finally fleet power gaming

[viscid swift]

no

just call it a little trophy

[stark quiver]

mfs with unlimited bulins
i need to conserve, still got i404 and porter to mlb

[rain bobcat]

how are you broke on bulins lmao

[atomic solstice]

Does upgrading this give anything besides the arrays

[stark quiver]

i h ave 40k spec core
porter LB2
i404 lb1
no porter dupe yet, no cruise pass bulin and no event bulin

so i wouldnt say im broke but rather playing it safe

[sweet delta]

if you tap somewhere on the screen, i forgot where, it would show you the tech stats you gain

[obtuse island]

mb for not answering earlier, but you can make tohka tank in mob and agir tank in boss

[silver river]

Now that I have Admiral Nakhimov, is it worth replacing the ships somehow using it?

[upbeat wagon]

If i hit 55k or even the last reward in event do i continue farming for hvar's?

[viscid swift]

up to you

[soft raft]

Depends on how much you want them

[stark quiver]

new assumed meta fleet uses 5

[soft raft]

they arent strictly a must-get because anti-light is rare af and rocket fighters see basically zero use outside of OpSi due to their lack of passive AA interception

[stark quiver]

cm

[forest palm]

imagine doing CM

[white agate]

those farming hvar should be mindful: do you have the gp to spare for a niche solution using 5 identical gold planes?

[eternal basalt]

You can farm all off 2026 for it through War Archive though, so eeeh

[forest palm]

you get what technically 8 tries per day, may as well take full advantage of this event to cut it down...

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Fleet_Technology#Faction_Technology_Stat_Bonuses

[white agate]

yes, but then wouldn't you also need the gp to level 13 all your hvar?

to me lvl +13 5 idemtical planes feels like shit

[wind hazel]

to me it feels amazing

jk 5th one feels like shit

[knotty jolt]

Me sitting here with 3 +13 french torpedos I'm not even using cause light armor is rare

[stray crane]

is this hvar an end game leader board type of thing?

[soft raft]

Like with all rocket fighters, exclusively used in OpSi
Mainly for META fights

What's the current consensus about using Cownpens in late campaign so far?

[drifting patio]

I can’t get any Iron ships from the pull

[knotty jolt]

Stop pulling and go do divergent chessboard

[drifting patio]

Chessboard?

[knotty jolt]

War archives

you can get all these iron blood ships from it

[drifting patio]

I am

[viscid swift]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/fleet_technology/#kms

[drifting patio]

Never mind

I can’t win

[late flame]

just pity* lex2, i got graf zeppelin x 2 out of it

[drifting patio]

Well the only thing I got I New Jersey

I wish I’ve gotten something different

[weary gust]

Why are you wasting your cubes on non event pool pulls

[knotty jolt]

you should be fully capable of doing anything in war archives

[viscid swift]

tunnel vision that's the issue

[white agate]

all ships have iron

[peak fable]

Does anyone know how many UR exchange vouchers we exactly need if we complete every mission? cause I am getting 235 rn, +18 x 5 from SP, so 90... is there a daily that gives these vouchers too?

[drifting patio]

Well you see, event pulls are not my favorite. I’ve never got anything good in other Event pull

[hollow gust]

Huh wtf you can get 2 prints in 1 stage?

[eternal grove]

even 3 i think

[undone plover]

3 was possible in PSI
each elite can also drop it

[knotty jolt]

each of the elites can drop them

[late flame]

if rng likes you

[weary gust]

Building outside of the event pool is the absolute least efficient way to play the game and a guaranteed way to always be years behind current ship releases.

[knotty jolt]

Event pool pulls from the heavy and special pools

[drifting patio]

It’s fine, I’m most likely after the ship that released a year ago

[slow fox]

I totally messed up the eHPs of the previous two event ships (I copypasted the tempesta formula instead)

[viscid swift]

there's a random daily mission to earn 5

[late flame]

-# ragequit incoming

[peak fable]

okay so we are getting roughly 415-420... thanks, i guess it's like you said

[knotty jolt]

if you're after old ships then your best option would be to wait for a wishing well event to occur

[late flame]

b-but ww is a scam

[knotty jolt]

It truly is but one most do what they must for the waifu

[weary gust]

I've always gotten my picks from the wishing well events.

[drifting patio]

A wishing well? Is that even a thing

[late flame]

ww also diverts precious cubes/coins from events unless lucky with UR and event ships

[viscid swift]

yes it is, happens twice a year

[knotty jolt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Building#Wishing_Well

[drifting patio]

Oh ok

[verbal plinth]

its a decent way to pull your 1 light a day if you put light ships

[knotty jolt]

it essentially lets you hand pick who you want to have a rate up

[wind niche]

How good is the Lexington 2, Saratoga 2, and Kearsarge fleet?

[late flame]

Sara what

[knotty jolt]

Sara

[soft raft]

there's a daily mission that gives like 5 per day for doing some random misc task

[viscid swift]

saratoga 2 doesn't exist

[soft raft]

Saratoga 2 isnt in the game lmao
Did you mean Yorktown

[white agate]

always got the ship i wanted from it

[wind niche]

Yeah that.

[soft raft]

Survivorship bias ahh statement

[weary gust]

Anti light fleet, worse than BB anti light fleet w/ Lion.

[late flame]

Funny thing is i never got any out of ww then the ship i wanted drops when i am not looking for it later on

[viscid swift]

is it?

[soft raft]

Smh defective bot

[viscid swift]

I can only say of mebot that they have let us all down

[late flame]

||||

[slow fox]

[strong tartan]

are you playing a future version of azur lane

[soft raft]

Is it even worth using Alsace for YorkM compared to Soyuz

My comp rn is Lion/BisZwei/Alsace Z52/Helena/Traf

[ocean terrace]

I know I should upgrade them all but for Independence retro, which ones are the most impactful/should get to a high level first?

[wind hazel]

you can try and see if there's any different for you, sim it

[stark quiver]

alsace is better probably
shes also faster i think

[wind hazel]

312 imo

[ocean terrace]

2-4-3 tech ratio is obtain, mlb and 120 right

[rain bobcat]

[whole crypt]

very roughly and there are exceptions

[ocean terrace]

so if I'm trying to get USS tech points I prioritise SR and Elite BB/CVs, use some exp packs to get em to lvl 70 and mlb them

[wind hazel]

more or less yes

[clear harbor]

Huh, how frequently does Akashi give out 10 tokens at the arcade?

[wind hazel]

weekly

[paper nebula]

whats a good stage to farm coins?

[rapid shard]

12-4

[ivory sigil]

I will never forgibe the chinese too 😭

But yeah that make total sense that i should get them to slowly build too

Beside JeanDA i think

They are mostly Elite ranking right?

[ocean terrace]

they have retrofits, but base are all Elite yes

[paper nebula]

idk if i should ask it here. but does anyone have any experience with having payment errors? to explain a bit a came from SEA but moved to Japan i cant use my previous and the one available to me right now (i dont have a credit card only the Google Play points one). i just need to buy the Cowpens skin for gameplay reasons yk haha. maybe you guys experienced this problem?

[wind hazel]

give vpn a try

[paper nebula]

i did it didnt work 🙁

i think its because my google play region is already set in Japan

[wind hazel]

no idea then, try contact customer support

[rain bobcat]

mandatory 14-4 mention

[ocean terrace]

maybe tech support channel can help with that?

[paper nebula]

oh there is one sorry i didnt scroll down far enough ahhahaha ill try there

[rapid shard]

was waiting for you to chime in

[smoky citrus]

I want to sub in saint louis after atago gets to 100, this is my current mobbing fleet. Unicorn skill is maxed. Do I need to use exp books on lo for D3? I'm asking because I'm stingy on my books and don't want to use any if possible. IF I need to, anyone know what level she should roughly be for d3?

[viscid swift]

it depends

swap her in now and see what happens

and get better gear for her

[smoky citrus]

Lol, you think she might be able to keep up at level 70 on d3?

also what gear?

[viscid swift]

I can, you may or may not

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide
only difference is she wants an HE CA gun

[smoky citrus]

Ok, will do. I didn't think she could honestly survive a stage to be honest, but your reply grants me confidence thx

[quiet pawn]

is sovetsky a good replacement for musashi?

[ocean terrace]

which sovetsky

[quiet pawn]

soyuz

[soft raft]

depends

[kind slate]

is the problem with ur payment card? if it is u could maybe try buying a gift card and using that? sorry im not much help

[quiet pawn]

is a flex anything thats a ur?

[kind slate]

it means flexible i think. so whatever fits the role ig

[quiet pawn]

would alsace be a good boss fleet flagship?

[rain bobcat]

sure

[whole crypt]

you will need a not-japan google account on play store to buy on EN

[rain bobcat]

don't change ur region to japan in google

or use a different google account for azur lane

[paper nebula]

i see i ahvent tried that

[fleet marten]

How many Hvar is like the best to have?

I mean this as the Hellcat Hvar Fighter

[ocean terrace]

5-6 ideally

[whole crypt]

5 is fine

[paper nebula]

from the games i play this a problem only to AL and BA ... CZN HSR WuWA and ZZZ for example works just fine... anyways ill try the changing the google acount for azur lane .. thanks for hte suggestion

[fleet marten]

5-6? well I guess that's a long way to go

[whole crypt]

if you want to be really safe then 6, but the minimum is 0 really, or 2 for skill activation on Keararge and Yorktown II

[knotty jolt]

the grind is grueling

[ivory sigil]

me with 6 bps despite using all 12k oil....

[fleet marten]

so I guess its good, since I have none and I only have is a BFG, which is still solid but not compared to the HVAr

[ocean terrace]

how many event points is that

[ivory sigil]

28

( i feel frustrated so i went to farm for new Hard map, i realize i been spaming Hard X-1 cluelessly didnt realize it only drop DD retrofit)

[viscid swift]

the 2 do different things

[wind hazel]

dont beat yourself up over it. BB is always an option

[ocean terrace]

that is pretty low, though it should average out over time like mine did

[whole crypt]

the reason you want 5 is to gear a maxed anti-light with Kearsarge/Yorktown II/Lexington II, but if you don't get there it's not the end of the world

[fleet marten]

Just trying to prepare, if there is a Specific Boss that prefers CVs than BBs.

[whole crypt]

I won't guarantee it will happen but there's also good chance rocketcat will eventually be added to lab, or otherwise be powercrept

[fleet marten]

I thought the BFG is a slim alternative to the HVAR Hellcat, despite being preferred in the Medium Armor side?

[ivory sigil]

yeah the moment i start bragging about how i got them they have been lesser appeear 🚮

[whole crypt]

BFG is better for medium, La-9 is even better and also for heavy, rocketcat specifically is for anti-light especially with use on the 2 ships that want USS planes

[ivory sigil]

the BPs is boughtable back in Yorktown2 event

[ocean terrace]

you shouldn't really farm for HVARs in WA tho

[wind hazel]

ye bf109g is the next best substitute fighter vs Light, not sure why cheeky said do different thing

[whole crypt]

if you are at a point where you only have 1 BFG you probably aren't in a position to worry about 5-cat comps anyway

[fleet marten]

Thanks for this

[ivory sigil]

they in WA ?

[ocean terrace]

lmao yes York2 event was archived when this Lex II event released

[hollow gust]

why are you even concerned about havrs....

it will be ages before you use it

[wind hazel]

ehh...

nothing wrong prepping for it

[ocean terrace]

realistically new players will get like 1 maybe 2 max, just nice to have for now

[wind hazel]

you can use it with lexii enterprise avp lul. wont be anything good but it's still something

[ivory sigil]

yeah i only mention for older ppl they i would assume they already had the plane/ via bought its BPs

[hollow gust]

the event is stilll grind to 55k and moving on

[wind hazel]

not for them

[knotty jolt]

it isn't even a full plane worth of blueprints

[ivory sigil]

me at 28k with only 6 bps

[ocean terrace]

I think I'll get to 55k, and if I'm close to another copy, I'll farm it
if not, I'll drop event

[hollow gust]

its available in war arcive, they can come back whenever they want

[wind hazel]

yeah and in WA you get nothing else in currency other than clear reward

[hollow gust]

when they can actually use the hvars

[ivory sigil]

why not 60k for the gurl? although she is elite... i think it's skippable

[wind hazel]

you might as well farm it now, so that you can buy extras from event shop. and there's no limit to your farm except for oil

[ocean terrace]

shes ass

though I might farm a little extra for the plane skins in the shop

[ivory sigil]

i see, chinese dress better imo

[wind hazel]

because purple bulin comes in many, so usually it's not worth the oil to farm another 5k

[hollow gust]

[wind hazel]

it's easy to say 55k when we have 5-6 hvar already

try putting yourself in their shoes

[ocean terrace]

can farm campaign anytime, can't farm this event anytime.

[rain bobcat]

surely the gear lab update is on guam rerun no?

[wind hazel]

more like, surely there's gonna be gear lab update

[rain bobcat]

I want to experiment with 4 ad1's

[wind hazel]

inb4 they completely forget and update few months later

[plucky flicker]

hello I need help. I am stuck in an infinite loop of unable to use AIHELP to resolve a failed payment

[rain bobcat]

the state of my neglected kearsarge after 2 years

[wind hazel]

crush

[hollow gust]

i would have ditch the fuck out after i got what i needed? they are going to spend 40k+ doing what, getting 1/2 of another HVAR. Especially since a proper fleet takes 3-5 copies of the plane, Considering how far they are at, campaign is infinelty more valuable. Unless you prove the rates of war archive is better then event i see it as a waste of time

[stark quiver]

i had a stroke reading that

[rain bobcat]

wut

[wind hazel]

campaign isn't gonna run away mr grey

[rain bobcat]

idk why you are saying that knocking down 2 birds in 1 stone is worse than knocking yourself out instead

[hollow gust]

getting another porter copy is far better excuse

[wind hazel]

you're saying as if D3 isn't giving you resources lmao

idk why you wanna be so against newbies getting more hvar

[hollow gust]

idk why you are insist on getting another copy of hvar when they wont even use it...

[wind hazel]

for now. they might find the use later on

[ocean terrace]

I agree with Grey if by the time I'm at 55k event points, I'm nowhere near enough prints for another HVAR, otherwise I'd farm it

[wind hazel]

the same reason why you raised hakuhou yet we did jackshit with her now.

[verbal plinth]

not everyone has lion so they might get more use of it than people that does

[rain bobcat]

they can farm upto 55k, or more if they want to finish 1 more copy because atleast they can use more points to buy extra things instead of doing war warchive for virtually nothing

[wind hazel]

^^^^^^^^^

[hollow gust]

at least im getting through to someone...

[wind hazel]

it's literally better off farming it now than farming from WA

[rain bobcat]

you can't be telling me doing war archive 6 months later is better than farming points inside an event

[ocean terrace]

well it depends, it is an exclusive event and campaign can wait

maybe if I'm less than 10 prints off another HVAR I'll farm it

depends how much time is left too by the time I'm at 55k

[wind hazel]

if you farm daily, it wont take more than a week to reach 55k with daily bonus+SP. and this is 3 weeks event

[rain bobcat]

also light arbiter next month, 2 HVARs would be valuable especially for yk2/kear or even lexi/enty/avp

[fleet marten]

I do have Lion, but no Trafalgar, I just wanted to be prepared in the future where there would be any fleets that would go a bit of CV Ships on it and I can see the HVARcat as best in slot, because I know how slow a Skyraider is, and its frustrating to time it, then BFG exists, but its a slim alternative..

[whole crypt]

surely they won't break their promise on lab update again

[rain bobcat]

if newbies play their cards right, they can get 2 hvar + 1 la-9 for next light arbiter

[wind hazel]

if we get la9

[fleet marten]

Good Question, when did Hindenburg Gun get released to the shop?

[ocean terrace]

la9 is supposed to be in the next gear lab update?

[rain bobcat]

no, protocore shop update

[ocean terrace]

oooo even better

[wind hazel]

i dont have high hope for this company keeping their promises lmao

[ocean terrace]

would that change the prio of protocore shop though

[whole crypt]

also you can buy more shit from event shop as a newer player there's no need to bail right at 55k, I mean if you're nowhere close to finishing a copy sure but if you're a couple prints short why the rush to leave event

[rain bobcat]

no because tenrai and BB gun still worth more but you can get it relatively quickly eitherway

[ocean terrace]

agreed, even during DAL event I farmed till just over 60k for the coins, oil etc

[wind hazel]

no it's already included in the pic lol

[ivory pawn]

Well, Tenrai + AP BB guns would probably still be at the top, but LA9 should be right after that.

[ocean terrace]

right now LA9 is pretty low in that picture

[wind hazel]

like bruh

[rain bobcat]

nah, ply gun before la9

la9 is a strictly boss fighter, accomplishes nothing in campaign

[stark quiver]

Why are ygs arguing about farming hvars in a THREE week event

[ocean terrace]

cos Grey says drop it after 55k event points regardless, for new players

[wind hazel]

it's 55k and dip vs going beyond 55k

[ivory pawn]

Yeah that's fair. Surprised it's under 457 but ig I'm biased from Musashi being my first UR.

[verbal plinth]

you guys get drops?? /s

[stark quiver]

just chill the fuck out and farm it
you arent losing any shit going past 55k
its free resources from shop and just less exp
grinding before and after event end doesnt matter

[wind hazel]

that's what i said

[whole crypt]

that's what most of us are saying

[wind hazel]

so basically us vs grey

[stark quiver]

i didnt read what you are saying so

[hollow gust]

no its cause you cant read..

[wind hazel]

ok buddy

[whole crypt]

the way you're putting it is bail after 55k and worry about farming it in WA later

[rain bobcat]

ad hominem LMAO

[whole crypt]

like yes they may not need it now but why not farm an active event when it's here

[hollow gust]

there is a difference between finishing what you started and getting a brand new one fresh...

[rain bobcat]

that's what everyone's been saying wwww

[stark quiver]

id start a new one
just to never touch WA

[whole crypt]

you never quite mentioned that, you just said bail after 55k

[wind hazel]

right? why farm at WA lol

[stark quiver]

like spazing out over a bit of lost efficiency is stupid

[wind hazel]

like as a new player, i'd rather have 3-4 hvar ready to use than having just 1-2 and have to resort to farming from WA later

[whole crypt]

we are also not recommending newbies to go out of their way to farm extra copies

[stark quiver]

it also comes with the issue of drop rates
just because the rate is some obscured number right now
DOES NOT mean a player is gonna have that exact rate in their 4/8 runs a day of WA
infact I wont even be surprised if the rate is zero

[whole crypt]

it all depends on where your resources lie by that point

[short matrix]

what is the best way to get META ship rigging fortification parts? I have like 1000s of all but the one to boost reload of which I have a total of 1

[wind hazel]

opsi

you can also buy extra if you have meta currency from meta shop

[whole crypt]

you have to buy from OS at some point if you bother with METAs

[wind hazel]

this one, top left. selection

[ivory pawn]

If you don't need retrofit prints, you can also target whichever hard mode stage drops the reload ones for a regular boost.

But I'd prio retrofit prints if you need them over meta mats.

[ocean terrace]

is it worth grabbing her from merit shop for tech points? I'm 30 points off of Anchorage atm and also at 8 SR bulins

[wind hazel]

oh yea that's a thing now

[short matrix]

thanks forgot about that store

[whole crypt]

realistically newer players on hvar grind won't be reaching 4 copies, it's more of where they sit for prints after 50-60k points

[wind hazel]

actually, have you exhausted other options

[hollow gust]

most efficent way is to get from opsi and the milestone of meta boss battles, the problem with buying off meta shop is that it a pretty limited currency that also need to limitbreak meta

[ocean terrace]

medal yes, what else is there and guild

[wind hazel]

just 20 pts seem kinda low ngl lmao

[ivory pawn]

No purple US ships to MLB?

[whole crypt]

I don't recommend spending meta frags for fort mats

[sweet delta]

did you sweep the new event ships

[short matrix]

I do the battles and stuff mainly but just run out of the reload augment as all METAs use them. The rest I have ample stores of

[ocean terrace]

ran out of coins and Shangri-La mlb will be expensive

[rain bobcat]

mlb someone with exp packs

[whole crypt]

just grind OS and buy the port shop materials for a few months

[rain bobcat]

even a purple or a rare

[ocean terrace]

I mlb'd like 3 USS CV/BBs just now

[ivory pawn]

Shangri-la is gold, too expensive. What about purples/blues?

[zenith heron]

If LA 9 gets released to protocore, how many copies is the minimum? 2-3?

[whole crypt]

0

[ocean terrace]

I'll see

[ivory pawn]

You only get one copy from protocore.

[zenith heron]

Lemme guess, its bcs BBs exist?

[whole crypt]

proto shop rainbow gear is only 1 copy and La-9 is fairly low priority

[rain bobcat]

you don't need la9 in a strict sense because the answer is to "just use BBs "

[whole crypt]

even if you use CVs it's just that bit more oompf on the relevant fighter slots

[wind hazel]

isnt the gap pretty big...

[rain bobcat]

you will really only need la9 if you really really really want to use nakhi/fritz

[wind hazel]

la9 is the BiS fighter by a big margin isnt it lol, a bit underselling it

[rain bobcat]

I don't think it will make or break you outside of nakhi fritz

[sweet delta]

you only need rainbow gear if you want to oneshot new meta bosses

[whole crypt]

it's a decent bit better for medium if you soynakfritz, for oneshotting some shit

for heavy IJN can go 0 fighters

[rain bobcat]

it's best med heavy fighter by a margin yeah but ur not getting a one shot meta anyway without 4 la9 using soynaru

just use BBs is the true solution to all problems

[stark quiver]

Is the new bomber faster than suisei

[wind hazel]

yes

[stark quiver]

Nice

[whole crypt]

you want 4 and +13 so throw 1440 gold plates in too

[wind hazel]

can 4 strike yk2 without 💍

[rain bobcat]

tight as hell btw

[wind hazel]

the f2p time has come 👿

[stark quiver]

bro what

[rain bobcat]

the bombs drop at 1s remaining with no oath 42 rld

[stark quiver]

does payload travel take a fat 3 seconds

[wind hazel]

max rld is 44 now

[stark quiver]

[rain bobcat]

2 maybe. it works without oath just a little tight

so you may want to get 44 rld or just oath their ass

[stark quiver]

does two make a big difference

[rain bobcat]

0.2 ish diff rld time

[wind hazel]

eh

[stark quiver]

no worries
i have oath anyways LMFAO

[wind hazel]

whats your rld

[stark quiver]

42

[whole crypt]

even 0.1s is enough if you're looking at that bit for ordnance to land

[wind hazel]

higher than i thought wtf. cv grinder

[stark quiver]

im new player

[rain bobcat]

Imean don't most helpers have atleast backline tech max anyway

[whole crypt]

but it's probably closer to 0.5 across the fight

[stark quiver]

im not a helper
im an inhibiter

[whole crypt]

I'm a homework copier but I'm a bad reference for tech

[viscid swift]

well technically none of us do at the moment, the sane ones anyway

[stark quiver]

i am noob

[whole crypt]

I mean I can max CV rld right now there's just no point wasting the grind XP

[wind hazel]

need to grind that bb fp

[viscid swift]

precisely

[stark quiver]

i have many boats lvl 100 for bb fp
but no exp pooled 💀

[wind hazel]

grind more kotori 🫃🏼

[stark quiver]

I need to get porter and lex up first

Which is probably a 121 thing but I need my 6th hvar

[whole crypt]

I already bumped YKM to 115 but the rest is grind

[ocean terrace]

probably wasn't worth it but bought Elite bulins from medal shop, max limit broke St Louis (no other good option) and used exp books to finish Helena to lvl120

at least I can start Ancho now

[ivory pawn]

If you bought all the other good stuff from medal shop, was worth. Well, maybe not the exp books, but you probably won't feel it.

[ocean terrace]

how much more exp do purple exp books give than blues?

[whole crypt]

a lot

[ocean terrace]

is there like a rough conversion rate of blues to purps

[hollow gust]

its 1 vs 5

purple is 15k and blue is 3k

[nocturne glade]

who to mlb next? I was thinking BisZwei then Trafalgar, but I'm not too sure how good the new ur is

[whole crypt]

purples are basically exclusively paid though

[viscid swift]

I would say your instincts are correct

[rain bobcat]

zwei then traf yes

[nocturne glade]

Great, ty!

[shut zinc]

why does it say i have this much but this is all i have, those are from mails btw

[whole crypt]

check your storage under mailbox

[shut zinc]

OHH

[sweet delta]

is LexII good at exercising?

[verbal plinth]

too slow

[stark quiver]

Not good enough loadout

So no

[sweet delta]

is she not tanky enough?

[stark quiver]

Uhh I’d wait for more testing from a verified source me
But the idea is that glorm’s double airstrike will obliterate her

[hollow gust]

skill diff by blue skill trust

[sweet delta]

how will double airstrike obliterate her if she goes invincible after 25% dmg taken

[stark quiver]

invincible

thats debatable
but whats also debatable is whether glorm/nakhs airstrike deletes frontline faster and bum rush your backline
that i do not know the answer to

[cerulean musk]

how many wyverns/spearfish should i have

[robust onyx]

Roughly 3 should do

[rain bobcat]

2 wyvern 0 spearfish minimum

[cerulean musk]

ok

[halcyon nymph]

Is she good?

[sweet delta]

Low priority for new players
Depends on all of your URs and how many bulins you can get now

[halcyon nymph]

I see. I'll just keep her in the dock for now then. I'm a newish player.

How about the new UR, is she worth getting for new players?

[wind hazel]

yes

[sweet delta]

All new URs have been

[bleak junco]

To use, or not to use… that is the question…….

[wind hazel]

what are you keeping them for, azur lane 2?

[bleak junco]

Yes totally

I just like hoarding them for no reason honestly idk. It makes me feel happy

[cerulean musk]

lexington2 uses flapjack tenrai tenrai?

[ocean terrace]

I guess she's useless pre-dev25 anyway

[cerulean musk]

also any good replacement for essex if i dont have her retro

[wind hazel]

yorktown2

[cerulean musk]

[lofty thistle]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[cerulean musk]

what is lexington2 loadout then

[wind hazel]

depends what you're using her for

[rain bobcat]

different use different loadout

[cerulean musk]

want to improve opsi teams if shes better there

[rain bobcat]

w15 double flap tenrai
bossing light double hvar ad1
under you can use same as w15 or flap double tenrai or wyvern tenrai flap

[wind hazel]

campaign it's the standard fighter db tb, or fighter db fighter if you need the AA

[cerulean musk]

[wind hazel]

get 2-3 more if you wanna play it safe

[rain bobcat]

5-6 total

beware its only if you actually want to use USS anti light

you can very much just use BBs with lion and call it a day for light bosses

[ivory sigil]

where can i find more 2 other with bluehaired

Bilibili~~ is CN locked so i cant get ~~is DD so i cant use

[rain bobcat]

[wind hazel]

gascogne

[ivory sigil]

[viscid swift]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/ships

[uneven badger]

help me I can't beat helena meta in 1 try ;(

[ivory sigil]

1 of they are limited, while 1 other are locked behind Heavy contrustion

[viscid swift]

did you remember to equip he guns......

[stark quiver]

champagne, gascogne, marco polo arent locked behind construction nor limited

[viscid swift]

there have been runs where I have beaten her even running AP though

[rain bobcat]

[ivory sigil]

if adding alsace and newjersey that surely could make a endgame team tho

[rain bobcat]

not rly

[wind hazel]

they'd be blue and useless

[uneven badger]

oh it worked

[wind hazel]

The Bluseless team

[stark quiver]

my blue team can do w15 no sweat

[viscid swift]

I bloody knew it

[onyx flame]

Guild operation > battle support > select 2 ships > Dispatch

[wind hazel]

your blue is blonde

[stark quiver]

same diff

[ivory sigil]

i want a blue lion

[wind hazel]

spray your screen

[lofty thistle]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[wind hazel]

im not sure if you can see your own ship on the support, since it's... your ship.

[onyx flame]

if your at the final battle for guild op you cant set it anymore im pretty sure

[uneven badger]

i had to swap bismark 457mm MkA with 381mm ;(

[viscid swift]

what

why are you using a Monarch gun

[wind hazel]

use mk2+mk7

or mk2+mk6

[viscid swift]

even Mk6s should kill her in 3 cycles pretty easily

[uneven badger]

i only got 1 mk7 for alsace

[viscid swift]

use Mk6s then

[onyx flame]

got lion but no lion gun

also yikes that hurts to look at

[wind hazel]

your AA gun and aux, as well as augment are questionable

[wind hazel]

they'll see it dont worry

[wind hazel]

have fun

[stark quiver]

thanks, i will

[strange sphinx]

so oil efficient fleet for A and B event map?

[wind hazel]

ranger+cassin 📈

[uneven badger]

nah I use other AA gun and aux on campaign ships. Haven't swapped it and I didn't have much gears yet

[lofty thistle]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[strange sphinx]

what cross fleet? Alsace is good right but what about others

[uneven badger]

alr I'll do something about it

[wind hazel]

musashi alsace soyuz kron shima unzen

404 on sub too

[strange sphinx]

hmmmm so you can use sword if you're using HE ammo type Gun and use a bow if AP ammo?

[wind hazel]

sword for everything, unless you dont need the hit anymore, then bow against heavy boss

[cerulean musk]

wait i cant equip hvar on 2nd slot

[wind hazel]

3rd slot. 2nd is DB slot

[cerulean musk]

[cerulean musk]

[wind hazel]

"Sir, what is the loadout for Lexington II?"
"For general use"

[strange sphinx]

[stark quiver]

i thought this was a yk2 and lex build

[viscid swift]

just refer them to the qgg

[wind hazel]

havent seen that question past few days, funny enough

[strange sphinx]

Anti-Light gang

[stark quiver]

what do i run for general use on lexington 2?

[wind hazel]

i dont trust them enough to be able to read the table tbh LOL

[strange sphinx]

[stark quiver]

this medbae guy has been here long enough

[viscid swift]

that is....
not actually an invalid concern.....

[wind hazel]

sometimes when you give them something to copy paste, they will still fuck it up somehow

[strange sphinx]

what website again you guys use for timing attack?

[stark quiver]

that was me with cheekys advice in w15

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/

[rain bobcat]

the plane part of qgg is quite bad for some of the specimens

[viscid swift]

huh

[rain bobcat]

its not exactly braindead to teach what planes to use though if ur talking to someone who can't understand anything

[viscid swift]

well no and that wasn't the intention with the single target stuff

we listed everything in order of alpha strike damage

the idea being this gives an easy guide for damage rankings and then they can adjust timings accordingly

[strange sphinx]

question 2, How to see the Reload stats and everything in game?

[wind hazel]

it's simple enough to follow. i think newbies will only have some confusion over the flex slot part

most of them probably dont understand the difference of flex between light, med, heavy

the rest is really straight forward

[cerulean musk]

whats qgg

[ocean terrace]

quick gear guide

[verbal plinth]

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

[cerulean musk]

[trim depot]

is there a recommended formation for starters or is it better to post my loadout

[ocean terrace]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[onyx flame]

if you follow the newbie guide you basically have 1 fleet planned out alr, with room to rotate in 1/2 good gold ships

[ocean terrace]

is it better to send newbie tips or progression guide these days, or does it depend on their progress

[wind hazel]

both

[hollow gust]

Pretty sure rice's in ectl has both together

[onyx flame]

just wait for cheeky one to send

[wind hazel]

sandiego

this is fine to use but also isn't as comprehensive as cheeky's

-# and totally not updated

[ocean terrace]

it does look more appealing for new players though since it's formatted as less words and more pictures

could be preference though

[wind hazel]

yeah visual helps

[forest palm]

provided they are laid out proper and give sufficient information, it's probably the better way to do things

[ocean terrace]

shame it's not updated regularly though

[forest palm]

font color, font size, and font type also play a role

[ocean terrace]

also the tier list looks questionable to me and has no context

[forest palm]

their criteria is somewhere on the site, they use to give individual discerption for ships

[wind hazel]

only use it for vanguard gearing tbh

[viscid swift]

We have the newbie guide linked at the top of the progression guide

[trim depot]

if I got the ur ship once form the event banner do I just start saving?

Or do I pull for more dupes

[wind hazel]

How to pull on UR event?

Pull until you get the new UR ship. 1 copy is enough.

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.

[ocean terrace]

should make it a command atp

[forest palm]

good luck with that...

[wind hazel]

maybe should add to pull only 1 copy

[rain bobcat]

[viscid swift]

I did try and include pictures where it felt practical but a lot of the progression guide talks about theory, principles and mechanics without a direct correlating visual

[trim depot]

I lowkey just want cowpens

[stark quiver]

commands kill critical thinking

[wind hazel]

dont we all

[ocean terrace]

I think it's much easier to read if you're someone who knows the game a little well, but could look very daunting for brand new players to read

[trim depot]

but I am advised not to pull

is there other ways to get her or do I have to spend more cubes

[onyx flame]

only cubes

[stark quiver]

theres no other way to get her

[viscid swift]

You can only get her from construction

[late flame]

wait 2 years

[viscid swift]

Yeah I didn't hold back when it came to detail there

[stark quiver]

noobs gotta learn somehow

[stark quiver]

if you really want her then go ahead
unless u wanna wait 2 years

[trim depot]

I’ll pull until like 75

[stark quiver]

though there is a UR rerun event on jan 15

[trim depot]

if I don’t get her then wtv

[late flame]

-# ticket lucksack supremacy

[ivory sigil]

Well... i do admit it i only decided to build her due to

-# 1. I heard DAL fleet maynot good for w14 w15
-# 2. I heard JeanDA is usable in w14 w15
But yeah most of these assumption are made before the realization of Laffey2/Guam banner coming on Feb. As well as future possibility UR (assume they're not niche vanguardfleet like willy or fleetdemand like lexi)

In the meantime the only thing i can do is stocking UR bulin and making my dream team look like a meme

Can i ask if build cowpen (if i get her) instead of build JeanDA ??

[wind hazel]

cowpens will see more immediate use than jda

and probably even more useful

[hollow gust]

You really do not need Jean Darc at all early game

[trim depot]

btw how good is Lexington

[wind hazel]

UR good

[trim depot]

should I put her in my flex spot

[wind hazel]

if you're new, if you can max limit break her, yeah

[trim depot]

I can’t max lb her

[onyx flame]

then no use, she sits on bench for now

[ocean terrace]

Lex II doesn't have a 'fleet demand' for campaign tbh, she shines for light bosses with the right fleet yes
She's still a UR CV who's great for clearing most content

[late flame]

what about left feet

[wind hazel]

any UR CV are great for campaign

especially if you don't have any other UR CV lol

[ocean terrace]

UR is UR

[wind hazel]

lexii will automatically be your best CV

[stray crane]

so she better than shinano ?

[stark quiver]

good question

[ocean terrace]

I was wondering why you said that lmfao didn't realise till now

[stark quiver]

good comms

[wind hazel]

for campaign, i'd say yes

shinano is a very low bar

[ocean terrace]

What does Shinano specialise in for bosses? If anything

[wind hazel]

ijn heavy

[ocean terrace]

Wth Hakuhou and Amagi?

[stark quiver]

if the boss isnt move-y yeah

[late flame]

(as Mori said) good vs heavy
usually paired with one more ijn cv + kazagumo

[clear harbor]

Which would be best for Anchorage?

[wind hazel]

what does the table say

[trail dagger]

[clear harbor]

Twin 550 and Triple 550
