gameplay-help

[shy bay]

Hope everything is fine and he will get the repo up soon, i need those json files for my wiki website

[keen flower]

when do i start making a 2nd fleet? after getting to world 9?
or after 1st fleet get to level 90

[viscid swift]

after you get to W9 and when you have enough good ships to constitute a 2nd fleet

[hallow mountain]

How good is Lexii? I just got her

Is it worth using my monthly bulins on her?

[tulip tinsel]

good against light armor boss and stuff, not the highest prio as there are not that many light armor content rn

[keen flower]

i forgot how much ship you need for enhance

i cant even fill for one ship

[hallow mountain]

Wdym? It's usually any common star ship you have

You can put just one in and it'll still enhance

[keen flower]

i used all the common ships i got into uni and i still need more

amount is like 3x more than i remember

[hallow mountain]

You get common ships by clearing stages

Like for example in the new event you can farm D3 and you'll get like 7 or more sometimes

My tip is that you don't use the blue ships (rare ships) for enhancing. Retire them for medals

Best ship to prioritize my bulins?

[knotty jolt]

It's just a matter of grind more

[knotty jolt]

Zwei, traf, hakuhou, lexington, vanguard in that order if you must the rest are whatever

[hallow mountain]

Here's my other UR girls

[hallow mountain]

Should I replace NJ with Zwei for pvp?

[knotty jolt]

Pvp is an entirely different beast

[hallow mountain]

Yeah I know

[knotty jolt]

Example being Seydiltz would be better then either

[hallow mountain]

If I had her

[knotty jolt]

And as pvp is mentioned mori comes in kek

[wind hazel]

wtf

[hollow gust]

Neither NJ nor Bismarck is good at PvP

[hallow mountain]

Wtf

[wind hazel]

NJ is still useable

[hallow mountain]

Need a good battleship for pvp, other than Seydlitz since I don't have her

[knotty jolt]

You can get her from war archives if you really must

[hollow gust]

Lion?

[hallow mountain]

I use both NJ and Lion

[viscid swift]

PvP meta looks something like this these days

[wind hazel]

gross

is kotori just seydlitz pro max?

[hallow mountain]

I thought it's more of survivability like Jintsuu and Anchorage

[hallow mountain]

Wtf is Kotori good

[wind hazel]

it is, and those 3 dds survive better

[wind hazel]

idk that's why im asking

[hallow mountain]

Yeah I wish I have Laffey2

[wind hazel]

your wish will come true next month

[hallow mountain]

I don't think she is

Her skills are damaged based

[knotty jolt]

Personally I'd just refresh enemies till you get ez weak stuff

PVP for me is just once a day as im to lazy to use up all 5 every few hours

[hallow mountain]

Yeah I know but for once I would like to beat the Jintsuu, Laffey2, Anchorage como fleet

[viscid swift]

something like that yeah

[hallow mountain]

How

[hallow mountain]

Wait lemme check her skill

[hallow mountain]

Oh damn that is good

Need to build her next

[knotty jolt]

Why does it say incapacitated?

[wind hazel]

why not

[upbeat wagon]

if they say die might get demonetised

[knotty jolt]

the term sink sitting in the corner

[agile patrol]

i might crashout
im at 85 pity, i got lexington 65 pulls ago. i cant get cowpens
do i give her up at this point 😭
this is kind of funny.

[wind hazel]

just pull

[agile patrol]

cant u pull for me. surely u have better SR luck

[agile patrol]

😱

[wind hazel]

just do 3 pull a day until end of event

[cloud panther]

inb4 14H teams

forgot what is cool thats not AA focus lol

[wind hazel]

maybe can do full eagle with essex

[jolly condor]

Is this a good build for lex II

[wind hazel]

no, it's crap

you can ask 1000 people and all 1000 will give the same answer

[rain bobcat]

pretty shit

[knotty jolt]

I woulda said bad instead of crap or shit

[rain bobcat]

repulsive even

[jolly condor]

it’s what i saw on yt

[knotty jolt]

Don't trust most youtubers imo

[rain bobcat]

time to report the youtuber to the government

[onyx flame]

is it kimo

[wind hazel]

what do you wanna do with lexington? boss or campaign

[rain bobcat]

never listen to the disgusting cheese

it's disgusting for a reason

[jolly condor]

😭

[jolly condor]

campaign ig but really just more of a general build

[viscid swift]

no such thing

[wind hazel]

ahh my favourite sentence

[viscid swift]

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

[jolly condor]

Idk what i wanna use her for rn. but im not currently pushing campaign. i was really just tryna get more hvar’s cus i was told they were good

[viscid swift]

sigh

they're good yes, but for light armor bosses and really light armor bosses only

[jolly condor]

i wasted so much oil then

[still sun]

I’m kinda new, just got to world 5, I was hoping someone can help me please let me know which ships out of my dock I should be focusing on leveling up going forward?

[white agate]

how is oil wasted for something good

[viscid swift]

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

[cloud panther]

how to run 3 L2?

[wind hazel]

it's a template to showcase her gear loadout...

[viscid swift]

follow the reccomended start fleet just swap Long Island for Cowpens

[tulip tinsel]

why is that unicorn level 1 and in fleet 3 🥀

[simple nacelle]

Best Research tier? I have selected the second one

[still sun]

I just started reading the progression guide about an hour ago and went and bought unicorn from the guild shop

[wind hazel]

select series 8 now

[onyx flame]

move your research focus to series 8

[viscid swift]

switch your research focus to PR8 for one

[onyx flame]

2 is kinda

[shy oracle]

8

[tulip tinsel]

8

[viscid swift]

and did you get Helena as well

[simple nacelle]

What blueprint get in the 8?

[still sun]

I was waiting for the shop to reset but I just manually reset it and got Helena

[strange fable]

What ships are yall using for yorkmeta? Stuck on vg rn

[viscid swift]

check the pins, I used Laffey 2, Momo, Trafalgar

[simple nacelle]

What map of here can be used for farm? Or what ship is good to get? (For fleet tecnology points or utility)

[white agate]

no, forget about it; unless you really need IB tech maybe, but even then

[viscid swift]

are you in chapter 12 yet?

[onyx flame]

you only go to war archive if you need IB tech (divergent chessboard)
or not on an oil capped campaign stage and arent high enough commander level as well as there being no event to grind (passionate polaris)

[simple nacelle]

Not yet, but i can clear it. I already have a solid team.

[viscid swift]

clear 12-1 at least first then

[simple nacelle]

I am commander level 99.

[viscid swift]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/fleet_technology/
after that well

[simple nacelle]

Okay, thanks.

[onyx flame]

yea then no real reason for you to be doing wa stuff unless faction tech

[simple nacelle]

Thanks, this is a really good info.

[analog tendon]

Isn't War Archive also the only place where we can currently get Cosmic Kicks? Guess it isn't worth to get with the oil used to reach the 60 runs?

[simple nacelle]

Yes, im trying to level faction tech, i have lvl 3 - 4 but want more XD

[simple nacelle]

Which is the use for these items? Items that gives: Ships equipped with this are classified as "µ" ships

[tulip tinsel]

it just gives evasion and speed

[jolly condor]

I think i’m going to throw my lex II in the trash for now

[wanton spear]

coefficient of friction?

[onyx flame]

it is but there better place to spend oil on and eventually you just use gold rudders

[white agate]

no, micro

[keen flower]

what do i need to do?

[tulip tinsel]

clear d3

[hollow gust]

Click B3, do hard mode D3

[keen flower]

i only do polaris when there is no event right, what level is the oil capped stage enemies

[hollow gust]

Why do Polaris?

[keen flower]

oil cap, idk i just wanted to see

when do oil cap start on event?

[tulip tinsel]

iirc d3

[keen flower]

welp its still a long way then

i wanted to see the fastest way to get oil cap stage

[onyx flame]

D1 should have it alr

[bright tusk]

Who is the best SSs to accompany I-404?

[onyx flame]

archer and flasher

[tulip tinsel]

iirc archerfish and flasher

[errant jacinth]

is anyone from the wishing well cards event good? ik they're all SRs

[indigo cargo]

is albacore worth grabbing

[sweet delta]

Depends on what subs you have and what you might get next month from Guam rerun

[brisk osprey]

Whats the best way to get gold?

[eternal basalt]

Invitation != Wishing Well

[errant jacinth]

oh sorry that's just what the event was called 😭

[eternal basalt]

So it is

[clear harbor]

If you're not at W9 yet, farm the most difficult campaign map you can until you get go W9 where there's an oil cap. With the oil cap, farming coins becomes much more oil efficient. If you're at W9 or later, farm the most difficult x-4 (9-4, 10-4, etc.) map you can manage safely. 12-4 is commonly used to farm coins in terms of balancing out difficulty and coin/oil efficency. And, if you can beat 10-4, there's a good chance you can beat 12-4.

But, if there's an active even, like right now, you're best farming that event assuming you don't have a urgent need for coins.

[cloud panther]

wouldnt D3 better than W9?

[clear harbor]

Oh, is that the case?

[brisk osprey]

Speaking of the event how do I unlock sp and ex

[clear harbor]

Beat D3 to unlock SP.

[brisk osprey]

Bet

[knotty jolt]

/hardmode

[odd root]

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

[rigid onyx]

yeah

[cloud panther]

if anything D3 currency also can exchange for coins in shop

[cursive sky]

Yo I pulled her, is she any good?

[sweet delta]

How did you pull her

Pulling on the wrong banner?

[stone sluice]

What armor are the w14 bosses?

[sweet delta]

HHLM

[cursive sky]

I pulled on heavy, using the last 4 cubes I had

[sweet delta]

Not a good idea. There's like nobody good in Heavy pool

[cursive sky]

So where should I pull?

[sweet delta]

I mean the current event has some of the best ships in the game on rate up. Never pull on heavy or special for powercrept ships

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/
Should tell you it's always event or light build

what was deleted

[clear harbor]

My explanation that is likely less helpful than the above. 😅

[sweet delta]

Im pretty sure it was better

[cursive sky]

Thanks vro

[slender turtle]

Is the gold experimental helldiver upgrade actually even better than the purple one?

[sweet delta]

it's better by 20 avi stat

and better in that it can be enhanced beyond +11. But that's actually worse because it baits unaware players' resources.

[slender turtle]

Gotcha, might get a couple i guess cause i have a pretty decent supply of electronics now

Also any advice on which ur i focus on next? Or just hang out till one more worth comes around

[sweet delta]

i wouldn't recommend it, considering that you'll afford tenrais in gear lab sooner or later

you are just throwing electronics for a 2% damage bonus to the CV, if she even uses dive bombers

[slender turtle]

Ah i mean i have 3 tenrais, so i guess just more worth to keep making those? Figured i would only need like 1 or so more, i definitely have the ordinances to make them rn

[sweet delta]

more than 2 tenrais is already just for comfy

[sweet delta]

WDP and LexII are the most likely to be useful in the near future (near = after several months).

[slender turtle]

Yeah figured lex would be a good choice, especially with yk2 in perma pull now, wasnt sure about wdp since i have z52 and traf, but ig she does serve kinda different role for uss

[sweet delta]

save 3 or 4 bulins for laffii for sure

[slender turtle]

Gotcha, yeah was planning for that as soon as I heard the rerun was coming, will finally have Eldridge and laffy after years of not having them lol is guam really a prio at all?

[sweet delta]

no

[slender turtle]

Gotcha, just not really that useful for much rn?

[wary hawk]

Guam was already a niche unit when she was released to be fair

[atomic abyss]

what

[atomic abyss]

it's moreso laffey 2 is useful for more things than guam

they fulfil similar roles

tank + AA carry

[wary hawk]

Very unfortunate to be released together

[atomic abyss]

it's just that laff2 being able to survive on the cusp of death gives her a lot of additional options

[sweet delta]

Guam was great for the meta showdowns with high damage against vanguard. And then Eldridge retro came along and made all CBs obsolete in bossing.

[slender turtle]

Understood. I’ll probably just mlb lex for now, and make sure i have enough bulins for when laffy 2 comes out, slowly but surely get all these urs i missed not playing the game till a couple years ago maxed lol

[ivory basin]

which UR to prio, im all over the place

[sweet delta]

how many UR bulins can you have now?

[ivory basin]

i can buy 2

[sweet delta]

Musashi would give immediate benefit

[ivory basin]

i see, what about my other ur bulin

op, i forgot, it takes 2

anyway, thx

[ivory basin]

so, at 0 limit break, I shouldn't use those URs until i max them?

[sweet delta]

that's correct, and certain URs like Krons are the bottom priority for UR bulins, which means that she should be benched immediately

[tulip tinsel]

0lb ur's are worse than blues

[rigid onyx]

isn't Guam basically power crept by GL

[knotty jolt]

i think so yeah but at the same time, how many here even has a max gouden?

[turbid marsh]

more like pwoer crept by z52 and eld XD

[viscid swift]

Campaign still has some use for the traditional tanks but for no other reason than we can't have 2 Eldridge retrofits

[clear harbor]

Is there some sort of bug or intentional set up where Kurumi can't die because her clone is present, but her clone also doesn't take damage?

[cobalt gate]

I mean doesn’t she heal herself by using a clone when hp is low?

[clear harbor]

Yeah, but the clone itself was taking zero damage.

[cobalt gate]

Hmm not sure then

[clear harbor]

It could have been bad luck on my part (this was PVP). The clone was hanging out at the bottom toward the reare, so my units kept targeting the real Kurumi. Or maybe I have it backwards, that was the real Kurumi sitting back and the clone was tanking indefinitely with 0 HP at the front. I also didn't have the luxury of recording as I was almost dead after watchign it for a while and could not reproduct the phenomenon on a second attempt.

[silver river]

Please tell me which main ship increases the damage of the Japanese vanguard's torpedoes or main guns?

[brazen lotus]

Idk many ijn ships but I know shinano buffs DD

[slender turtle]

Amagi cv buffs torps

[viscid swift]

What is this for anyway

[forest palm]

can't be anything good

[viscid swift]

Kurumi's clones do hang back so to speak

[worn quest]

I have 4 UR bullins left, i already mlb lexington II and porter, who should I mlb next?

[viscid swift]

None of them honestly

At least for now

[keen flower]

whats the easiest oil cap stage? event d1?
mlb level 70 ships enough? with purple gears

[viscid swift]

I'd argue 12-1

[keen flower]

im still at command level 39

[viscid swift]

Farm d1 of the event if you can then

[keen flower]

i can prob try to do d1 with 70 mlb ships tbh

just need the mlb for stats

[worn quest]

is it even possible for newish players to mlb all URs? I feel like im barely keeping pace with all the new ones since I started?

[viscid swift]

Or consider buying the level 70 commander pack for 5 bucks

[silver river]

Shinano and Amagi are already in another fleet. I'm considering who to make with Unzen, Shimakaze, and Magador to boost their torpedoes and gun damage.

[viscid swift]

D1 enemies are what level 90

[viscid swift]

Doesn't sound like that fleet will do anything difficult so use whatever honestly

[keen flower]

prev acc i did d1 with level 75 mlb ships

although this event damage is bazookas compared to that event

[viscid swift]

D1 of what event

[keen flower]

event from like 4 years ago

[viscid swift]

Yeah I rather suspect you're misrembering things or the quality of your fleet was abnormally high

[silver river]

node clearing fleet

[keen flower]

enty uni, porland z23 helena
forgot the bb, ur bb lb2 iirc
no retro

had purple gears across

[viscid swift]

Node clearing fleet for what? Events? Operation Siren? Too easy

[slender turtle]

Yeah not totally sure what main ship that would be then, i know it was pretty common to use ijn torp ships with the amagi fleet specifically because of her buff, not really aware of other torp buff main ships

[silver river]

OS

[viscid swift]

Purple gear means jack if it isn't good

[keen flower]

its the good ones, i still remember

[viscid swift]

Just use a standard mob fleet set up then

[keen flower]

well poverty ones, but the ones in gear guide

[viscid swift]

Again, gear lab doesn't automatically mean good

[grave cove]

Is there any other ways to raise affinity other than secretary, dorm, and battle?

[viscid swift]

Aside from gifts no

[grave cove]

K, and does the sortie make any difference? Like chapter 5 vs chapter 12? (Just picked two randomly)

[hollow gust]

affinity dioesnt care, as long as you mvp you get more, if not its 1 point every 16 wins

[grave cove]

Appreciated thank you

[analog tendon]

Speaking of gifts for affinity, how do you obtain them? The only one i've come across till now is a one-time reward from Island Planner

[viscid swift]

Island Planner is the only way to get them

[hollow gust]

isnt all the gifts just one point of affinity? it takes less time just grining it out

[forest palm]

I don't think so

[analog tendon]

i think the one i got from Island Planner was 5 points

[cobalt gate]

The rainbow one is 5 pt but I think only sell for real money?

[boreal wagon]

the rainbow one is 5 and is paid only and one time rewards in island planner (said one time rewards take quite a while)
all other gifts are island planner only and are 1 point each

[hollow gust]

so yeaaaah waste of time lmao

they made it so worthless...

[peak fable]

what's the difference between attack and support mode of the submarine fleet?

[white agate]

if island planner had autoplay afk and i could log in once a week it would be worth soething, as of now its shit

only good thing is i can high five shipgirls

[knotty jolt]

Attack mode means they'll attack enemy fleets in their hunting range reducing their max hp when you enter battle with them, the amount reduce is effected by some stuff idk what but i assume total sub stats and such

Support mode means it'll not attack fleets

Attacking an enemy fleet costs the subs 1 ammo to do

[peak fable]

what's the point of support mode then LOL, unless I got it wrong and attack mode consumes oil?

[knotty jolt]

Attacks dont consume oil

[peak fable]

then i should always have that mode on, no?

[knotty jolt]

But since it does consume 1 of their 6 ammo it means you can't call them into battle as often

[peak fable]

ah

I get it now

[knotty jolt]

If you're at world 15 then it's similar to the airstrike support you get that reduces enemy hp by 10%

[trim sparrow]

Sup guys. Any suggestions for next 3 subs to work on?

Together

[forest palm]

404, 81, and Homura

or 101 over 81 or Homura

[trim sparrow]

Right on

[charred pollen]

What gear can I give otto von alvensleben

[viscid swift]

standard DD gear besides her main gun

for her main gun she wants the Plymouth gun or the Twin 150mm from PR6

[charred pollen]

Which ones that exactly

[viscid swift]

you mean the rest of her slots?

[charred pollen]

Nah the twin 150mm which one is it exactly?

[knotty jolt]

[late flame]

jumpscare by gun on mobile

[charred pollen]

That’s why I couldn’t find it, it’s a cl gun

How good is that gun for general use on dd’s?

[knotty jolt]

Select few DDs can even equip a light cruiser gun

[viscid swift]

it isn't

pretty much only Felix and Otto prefer CL guns over DD guns of the ships that can use both

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

[charred pollen]

[hollow gust]

even then itslike what only 2 CL guns thats superior to DD guns

[barren quarry]

I've been doing opsi strat search in a effort to get mor sr main gun design plans, but have recieved 0. is the chance this low?

do I have to do a specific thing to have better chance or something? its atually startig to pmo

[barren quarry]

so my luck is just ass. I have been doing strat search for 3 days now

[viscid swift]

strategic search on what exactly

[barren quarry]

I picked everything

[viscid swift]

what

[barren quarry]

corrision level all zones

[viscid swift]

secured or explorable

[barren quarry]

explorable

[viscid swift]

why....

should have set it C3 or C5

and the only hope you've got of getting SR design plans from secured nodes is as cat node drops

[barren quarry]

FUCK

[viscid swift]

secured nodes also have the worst drops of pretty much any node in OpSi anyway

[barren quarry]

I did explorable tho

[white agate]

explorable is secured, unless you still need to finish opsi for the month

[barren quarry]

oh

[viscid swift]

no they're not

[white agate]

oh, right

[viscid swift]

if you still have explorable nodes to do I question if you've been doing much of OpSI at all

[barren quarry]

well... I havent been doing much opsi

[white agate]

[viscid swift]

if you want good drops you gotta do OpSi a lot more than just this

[barren quarry]

sighhh ok. see you in a month or so

[ivory pawn]

Don’t forget the shop sells a bunch of SR plans that you can convert to a type of your choice.

[barren quarry]

ohhhh I c,

[dawn spade]

which BB should i focus on, a MLB Owari, or a 3-star New Jersey? they're the same level, but i wont be able to LB Jersey for quite some time. is she still better than Owari despite that?

[forest palm]

and MLB ship is going to be better than a Non-MLB ship

[hollow gust]

NJ just ain't worth it

Musashi is also in exchange for you to get , the recent SR BBs have been super capable

[dawn spade]

okay, i see. i thought so too but i was surprised when i saw them in combat because it seems NJ took like twice as much damage. maybe its the gear

[hollow gust]

NJ non lmb, is likely, less hp, less damage

[dawn spade]

alright. im still like ages away from the exchange though and i already have NJ

[hollow gust]

Better then spending bulins on NJ

[dawn spade]

yeah. those damn bulins are driving me crazy

[viscid swift]

it's a bit rough and ready but you might wanna give this a read
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRPJgxnXwC4r3Z8AlbzPUhHDXt0Dr7KP4TPriFnGafQrt1wE7Jb5AdRgfy8tXaLpTC-CtYAVMZgJE0g/pub

[dawn spade]

i'll just use Owari for now and get Musashi when i can. thanks

[trim depot]

how low is the oil cap for war archive sp5

is 59 not above the oil cap yet?

[winged willow]

Should I replace Souryuu retrofit with Hornet 2?

[viscid swift]

you need to clear the map first to unlock the oil cap

[trim depot]

oh ok

[viscid swift]

replace her yes but Hornet 2 may or may not be the best choice

[winged willow]

What would be best choice? It's for ch 12-13 fleet

[viscid swift]

that depends on what you have to work with

if she's already leveled though no need to make the replacement until after you get to W12

[clear harbor]

In OpSi, do players generally get enough AP replenish items to clear out all explorable zones while also clearing out daily missions and hidden zones?

[knotty jolt]

Easily, we have to much actually

[clear harbor]

Lol. I am too conservative with my resources.

[knotty jolt]

I can clear every stronghold and abyssal zone etc and by the end of the month I can have like 3k+ spare AP to spam to grind out more stuff

[clear harbor]

I should actually do the math to see how much spare AP i have

Apparently I have ~2,000 spare AP sitting in my inventory. But what if I need all of those for the final boss?

[weary gust]

Arbiter doesn't cost ap.

[clear harbor]

How difficult it the Arbiter? I've never tried it before..

Can I exit to heal, like strongholds?

[stark quiver]

yes

its easy because you can exit and heal

[clear harbor]

Cool.

[knotty jolt]

Arbiter in the center?

[clear harbor]

Yeah, that one.

Also, is it pretty typical to spam Request Recon even for the full 10-9 AP to auto areas?

[stark quiver]

you can just wait for the cooldown

[knotty jolt]

I mean we get so much AP it's fairly negligible

[clear harbor]

That's what I usually do, but I would like clear out a bunch right now since I have the time to babysit the game.

[stark quiver]

not when you keep doing it

[viscid swift]

yes
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRPJgxnXwC4r3Z8AlbzPUhHDXt0Dr7KP4TPriFnGafQrt1wE7Jb5AdRgfy8tXaLpTC-CtYAVMZgJE0g/pub

[clear harbor]

Hm, I might have been doing auto wrong. I never bothered with strategic search after failing to use it properly the first time.

[modest moat]

quick question: what's the difference between these, really

is it just the hit stat

and the other has better dps

[viscid swift]

overall the 76mm is better

[crystal flume]

huh maintenance is today does that mean this event will be gone after done?

[stark quiver]

no

[crystal flume]

got me sweating i still need 3 plane thank you

[knotty jolt]

event is 3 weeks long

this maintenance is adding a second batch of skins

[barren token]

and gear lab update

[knotty jolt]

That too, arguably the more important thing but hey, skins.

[stark quiver]

gear lab update isnt important to most of the playerbase ,lol

[viscid swift]

W14 Hard Mode, and the Admiralty Fire Control Table

[forest palm]

well PR5 getting chucked into GL will be nice

[rain bobcat]

plygun statsticks for free

[sharp socket]

why pr5 on gouden

[stark quiver]

GL as in gear lab

[clear harbor]

I thought the same thing. 😅

[sharp socket]

coffee hadn't kicked in yet

[uneven knot]

which ur should i prioritize rn? i can get an extra 3 bulins

[cobalt robin]

i would wait for guam and laff2 rerun on 15th jan

[uneven knot]

actually so real i forgot that was happening

[polar lion]

How does vbf94 compared to Tenrai?

[viscid swift]

it doesn't

it's almost the opposite end of the spectrum

[polar lion]

So is it worth to use for anything?

[viscid swift]

it's better than the Suisei Kai

[cobalt robin]

its fast so thats something at least

[polar lion]

Okay

[rain bobcat]

atleast it's fast

if it wasn't it would be so useless

[fiery swan]

If I'm severely strapped for torpedo bombers, is it a good idea to buy the avenger from core data for indepkai so I can give the barracuda to someone else

I already bought breguet

[wind hazel]

not worth it, just get more breguet next month or open more box for more barracuda

even tenzan is servicable

[stark quiver]

are you excited for 14h mori

[fiery swan]

In that case, can I buy the NP CL gun instead

[wind hazel]

i'll be playing ai limit

[wind hazel]

for what lol

[fiery swan]

I'm also strapped for CL gun

[knotty dome]

are there stack limits on gold plate ALLs?

[ivory pawn]

Nope.

[knotty dome]

i'm at 999 and that seems suspicious lol

[wind hazel]

are you doing pr8 focus? because donskoi gun is decent

[ivory pawn]

I would not be spending any core data on non-essentials atm tbh, UR Tables are coming literally tomorrow.

[wind hazel]

or even 155kai. you need 2 for W14 anyway

[fiery swan]

I am, but I don't have enough prints yet even if I'm doing the ones where you have to donate gear plates

[wind hazel]

155kai then

otherwise just stick to twin150

same as barracuda, if you dont have enough then just open more techbox

[rain bobcat]

14H aka just run ply eldridge

[viscid swift]

Bayard > Plymouth honestly

Also we don't know the hull type restrictions yet

[wind hazel]

your bayard 125?

[viscid swift]

No...

[ivory pawn]

I'm terrified of the stat restrictions tbh.

[rain bobcat]

your bayard exists?

[wind hazel]

🤝 raised to 120 and dipped before her FS was here

[rain bobcat]

me when 600 prints not even constructed

[ivory pawn]

Mine is!

[rain bobcat]

I don't even have flandre constructed lmao

I just don't bother raising PRs these days

[viscid swift]

I could book her to 125 if I really wanted but I'm gonna see how keeping her at 120 works out

[stark quiver]

of course, im a pvper

[viscid swift]

But she's CL Eva tech

[whole crypt]

bayard has place in PvP?

[stark quiver]

she froze people's games

[wind hazel]

the unethical def strat

[wanton plume]

[whole crypt]

that's just unironically being an asshole

[stone sluice]

2 copies of 155 kai are a priority for w14 over ply gun, right?

[whole crypt]

not really but it's not like the materials should be a problem

[wanton plume]

[wind hazel]

for w14 yes

[whole crypt]

is 155kai even significantly better than q152 for 14

[wind hazel]

significantly better no, better yes

[whole crypt]

point still stands, shouldn't be a problem material wise, unless you're just short on ordreps

[wind hazel]

it's a no contest since you can get plygun from protocore

getting 2nd or 3rd or beyond plygun from GL is optional, and considered luxury

[whole crypt]

get it from PR5

[forest palm]

probably gonna be farm more expensive to craft compared to a 155 kai

[proper violet]

What is the update about?

[forest palm]

#game-news

[proper violet]

Ty

[wanton plume]

[viscid swift]

is it?

[wind hazel]

according to suchi yes

it's explained in his w14 detailed

i remember there was a time where it was only numbers on excel sheet as well, with 155kai and 137 on top

[stone sluice]

That’s why I asked.
Unless suchi lied to us so we should believe mebot from now on

[viscid swift]

"There are too many variables at play here to test which CL or DD gun is the best for BBs. And nowadays, Chapter 14 is not difficult or interesting enough to encourage someone to spend hours on testing. Hence, we prepared the following list based on logic and various players' observations."

Plymouth gun only fires 4 shells and doesn't have great damage, so it's probably not good despite being able to pierce and being rainbow.

[forest palm]

so, what is exactly the argument here, on both sides?

[wind hazel]

whether 155kai is better than plygun or not

[ivory pawn]

Well, we're about to get the perfect testing grounds.

[wind hazel]

maybe you can ask suchi whether he still kept his old findings, but there was an excel where he compared the interceptions between 155kai, plygun, neptune, 137

[forest palm]

so, by that statement above it doesn't offer a definitive answer, and is more opinionated. not discredit Suchi's knowledge, but he gives reason he thinks and doesn't want to empirically test it.

[ivory pawn]

Why does it cost.

[forest palm]

I'm guessing this is another 81 electronics

[wind hazel]

because everything needs electronics

[viscid swift]

shhhhhh

[stark quiver]

mods gonna ban your ass blud

[forest palm]

well if you weren't around for PR1 grind back in the day it's gona be costly

[wind hazel]

oh shit yeah that is datamine LOOOOOOOL

[forest palm]

[ivory pawn]

I didn't see nothing.

[viscid swift]

anyway, no one saw anything agreed

[wind hazel]

dude we are so not getting used to this anytime soon

[stone sluice]

See what

[viscid swift]

good

[forest palm]

"smile and wave"

[wind hazel]

we can design new outfit for overlord duck during maintenance #server-news and maybe win something

[hard mesa]

We're getting W14 H?

[atomic vortex]

Would any of you be open to writing out 2 usable fleets for me

Opsi wants 2 more for some bs

And ion know who to throw together

[hard mesa]

[viscid swift]

you can just slot 1 random main fleet and vanguard in if you don't have more ships ready to go

[atomic vortex]

I have over 200 ships

Wouldnt hurt to have 2 more proper fleets

[ivory pawn]

Over 200 leveled ships?

[late flame]

over 200 lv120+ ships?

[cobalt robin]

maybe 200 lvl125 ships

[atomic vortex]

Ships

Level is secondary

[cobalt robin]

We can't help you with just that information alone, we need to know who you have

[ivory pawn]

Might hurt a little then. Better not to split your focus. I'm a little concerned about the Lexingtons.

[stone sluice]

You got to start a thread and post what ships you have

[cobalt robin]

i just saw the lexis

[viscid swift]

that's not a lot

[atomic vortex]

Pink hair pretty eyes are my weakness

[cobalt robin]

what's your campaign progress?

[viscid swift]

I'm gonna be honest as I see your dock now you don't have even one good fleet put together let alone 4

[atomic vortex]

Functional works too😭

[atomic vortex]

10.1 been busy with work and life

[viscid swift]

auto 0/10 for no Unicorn in sight

[atomic vortex]

Oh mb mb I excluded my 2 mains

[forest palm]

Sheffy is a choice...

[cobalt robin]

why would you exclude that

[atomic vortex]

Shes best girl and I will fucking die on this hill

[viscid swift]

anyway you might wanna give this a read
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRPJgxnXwC4r3Z8AlbzPUhHDXt0Dr7KP4TPriFnGafQrt1wE7Jb5AdRgfy8tXaLpTC-CtYAVMZgJE0g/pub

but I'll highlight this point

[atomic vortex]

This why I didn't show my 2 mains

Not gonna spread those 12

Just need 2 ( heavily on this ) functional fleets

[soft raft]

Well tbh the rest of your dock is in pretty scuffed condition anyways

[viscid swift]

not even gonna question all the lexington 2 dupes

anyway, just your 2 campaign fleets for now for OpSi

and stick whatever in the remaining 2 fleet slots

[atomic vortex]

Max LB was a side idea but its mainly because she's so cute and her style is my weakness

[sweet delta]

Maybe clevebro just wouldn't show up

[soft raft]

Hopefully you dont get fucked over by the Febuary UR then

[viscid swift]

pulling for dupes is always a waste in this game, just use bullins

[atomic vortex]

No I got her 1 time

But I just loved how Lexi looked

[atomic vortex]

She's cute ion give at all

I play for mostly hot chicks but occasionally progress

[hollow gust]

spending all your cubes on 1 ship isnt progress

[atomic vortex]

Did you miss the many parts of me saying I love her design?

[whole crypt]

well q152 is 30 x 4 x 1.1 x 1.1, 155kai s 23 x 6 x 1.5 x 1.05, so q155 should come out slightly ahead if only for boats, but q152 is also more FP and slightly faster relaod so

[viscid swift]

yes, but either way you only needed to pull one copy

[hollow gust]

you can focus on her with bulins '

[whole crypt]

I love a lot of ships but if they're shit they're shit, this is gph

even if they're good LBing can be done with bulins, dupes don't do squat in practice

[hollow gust]

In like 2 weeks we get two of the best vanguards in the game, then we get another rainbow in feb-march

[sweet delta]

They're not spending your cubes

[viscid swift]

anyway

[whole crypt]

one is shop, the other can take cubes if tickets don't do their job

14-2 boss is fusou?

oh Yamashiro

[atomic vortex]

Job will fix my character issues

After bills I'll just limit my diet

[whole crypt]

you can't really pay to LB faster but sure

[atomic vortex]

I can pay for bad bitches

[whole crypt]

pay to gacha rates are fairly poor

[atomic vortex]

Anywas do I have at least 2 functional fleets

[atomic vortex]

Matters not

[whole crypt]

this is coming from someone who's bought about 5 boatloads of gems for a ship that didn't drop

[frosty shell]

Which UR should I focus?

[onyx flame]

Holy spread of lb

[stark quiver]

maybe its dupes

[wind hazel]

well you are already using 2 functional fleets aren't you? just raise the better ships now, like essex eldridge kurumi cowpens lexii

[viscid swift]

Lion

[onyx flame]

Lion is no 1 on the prio for sure thou

[viscid swift]

but also yeah that is just horriffically wasteful use of resources

[atomic vortex]

I need 2 more Mori

Ik my 2 main are barely functional but I need another 2

😭🙏

[wind hazel]

imma be real i got headache trying to pair your ships

[late flame]

-# if i had 2 moris at my disposal i can retire yay

[atomic vortex]

I'm sorry bro😭🙏

[viscid swift]

no you don't

just stick a main fleet or vanguard in the other 2 fleet slots for the time being

[wind hazel]

oumi nj owari
kurumi helena ryu

lexii cowpens essex
eldridge roon idontfucking know

put other remaining good ships as mob, with unicorn

what you can look forward in the future is getting anchorage plymouth agir avp from shipyard, get kazagumo sirius from medal shop

[viscid swift]

you're in 10-1

[wind hazel]

he is? with that kind of ships?

[sweet delta]

Not even 10-3?

[viscid swift]

you should not be looking to level up anymore ships at this point especialy when you are more than capable of getting to W12

[viscid swift]

.

[wind hazel]

i see, i missed that. wow

[late flame]

mindblown

[wind hazel]

this is opsi btw, not campaign

[forest palm]

not like they need to make a third and fourth fleet for ops, just need two not ass fleets then worry about the other two fleets when they are able to do 12-1

[viscid swift]

exactly

[wind hazel]

this is the kind of guy that needs the 3rd to actually kill things in opsi, trust me

[stark quiver]

i need 4th to kill

[viscid swift]

I know that but trying to level up more ships right now would be a waste of oil

[wind hazel]

eh, can start replacing some of the vanguard tbh. just 10-1, perfect time to slot in eldridge kurumi to replace the shitty sheffield etc

[viscid swift]

anyway just so I'm not going crazy, this says the Kronshtadt gun is due to be added to the Gear Lab yes and not the Chapayev gun yes

[forest palm]

ya that 305 is Kron's gun

[wind hazel]

finally lol

[viscid swift]

I would not hold your breath.....

[wind hazel]

skyraider 2026 soonest

[forest palm]

one above it I think is Tash's gun too

[viscid swift]

because I have reason to suspect that it in fact should say the Chapayev gun and not the Kronshtadt gun

[wind hazel]

-# in reality 2027

[hard mesa]

Soyuz gun not included?

[forest palm]

I don't see MK1 so no

[wind hazel]

soyuz havent even rerun yet

[viscid swift]

no why would it be, the event hasn't rerun yet

[atomic vortex]

Unless I'm tweaking Opsi wants me to make 2 more of campaign

[viscid swift]

what

[forest palm]

definitely tweaking

[viscid swift]

OpSi required you to have 4 fleets yes

but not like you can make a functioning 3rd and 4th fleet right this moment

so just stick whatever in them for now, either way they will not be used

[wind hazel]

you can just use filler for 3rd and 4th, doesn't have to be useable for opsi

what's more important is stop using your maxed out shitty ships, and start using the good ships

[hard mesa]

I mean soyuz gun has been exist since 1st np event, just not an sr one, and its a T3 gear not T0

[forest palm]

again there's no Mk1 listed, so it doesn't matter

[atomic vortex]

My current 2 fleets were made with what I had at the time bro

[viscid swift]

I don't know what other elite gear they're adding exactly

[wind hazel]

ok thanks for history lesson but it's the present now. so change them

[atomic vortex]

I didn't have much else functional at the time

[viscid swift]

not that anyone cares for elite and lower rarity gear in the lab

[sweet delta]

What is your reason to suspect?

[wind hazel]

you see these 3 ships? start using them

[viscid swift]

something a certain CN user posted

[atomic vortex]

Who am I swapping out where

[wind hazel]

brs[flag] unicorn essex
eldridge[main tank] kawa kurumi[offtank]

oumi[flag] nj shinano
roon[main tank] helena ryu[offtank]

[atomic vortex]

In that order or anyone in particular slots?

[tropic tusk]

main tank is where ron is standing , off tank is where helena is standing

[lyric flume]

Are there certain srs that can be like almost ur level ?

[sweet delta]

Plenty of SRs are better than Yuudachi retrofit

[viscid swift]

and Drake

[zenith heron]

And NJ

[wind hazel]

funny enough but the picture above is your answer

under condition

[hollow gust]

wtf how is Lexington faster

[tropic tusk]

5 lvl diff?

[viscid swift]

because Lexington only has 3 DBs to Yorktown 2's 4

[tropic tusk]

oh wait nvm

[hollow gust]

Wait Yorky is 2/4/3? Oh right

[lyric flume]

Roon u is good?

[viscid swift]

not really

[hollow gust]

Default roon is better

[forest palm]

how the tables turn

[atomic vortex]

What build should I put on Cuthulu

[viscid swift]

who

[atomic vortex]

Normal DD build?

[atomic vortex]

Cuthulu

[viscid swift]

just use her proper name

no one's gonna know who you're talking about if you keep using pet names you've given them

and yes a standard DD build for her

[tropic tusk]

is that new torp worth building? the one coming out after today's patch

or just keep using the red tip one

[viscid swift]

the UR sub torp?

[tropic tusk]

ya

[viscid swift]

legally I know nothing about it at this point in time

[tropic tusk]

oh thats a new item?

[hollow gust]

[tropic tusk]

i thought it was sth i didnt see it for the past 2 years

[forest palm]

this graphic exists...

[plain saffron]

wait that was today right?

[viscid swift]

yes

[plain saffron]

nvm i forgot can't do datamine

[tropic tusk]

mb

[blissful hamlet]

Is translation of released content up now?

[atomic vortex]

Whats her aug?

Knives for hanmer

[vale spindle]

the fp one but it shouldn't really really matter

[plain saffron]

not until CN goes live

because after that we can see the stats and skills and translate it

[sweet delta]

when does CN maintenance end?

[whole crypt]

in 2-ish hours

I legally cannot talk about what I see on bilibili yet

[tropic tusk]

wts the the legally thing?

[plain saffron]

what

[tropic tusk]

is there a new rule or sth?

[vale spindle]

check pins

[plain saffron]

yes

[vale spindle]

until we get official content either through social media or game updates can't discuss it

[tropic tusk]

oh ok

[vale spindle]

we can discuss the gear names and such that are added cause its in patch notes

but stats are not official yet so can't discuss it

[tropic tusk]

i see

[polar lion]

What's the best loadout for Porter?

[onyx flame]

76/113 and fast torps to sync

[viscid swift]

no

fast torps are only if you don't care about syncing

[onyx flame]

the quad mags are fast enough? wait i kinda rmb reading about this

[strange sphinx]

is that another Vit

[rain bobcat]

its a db

[forest palm]

no it's a Sukhoi

[stark quiver]

When is cn maint over

[keen flower]

how much does oil cap stages cap it to

200 oil/stage or like 30/sortie

[onyx flame]

depends on the stage

[keen flower]

what about like d1/d3 of this event?

nvm its on pins

[polar lion]

What is the best anti light bossing comp looks liek rn? HArby

[rain bobcat]

lexi york kear traf willy laffii/z52/ply

[severe tinsel]

Is william d porter and Lexington 2 good?

[rapid tusk]

Just unlocked shipyard. What is all this for and should I develop this ship?

[onyx flame]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/#shipyard-farming

just start on 1 prob saint louis if your following the newbie guide due to 3 eu vanguard, but dont focus on it too much till later

[plain saffron]

do we not recommend roon anymore

[cobalt robin]

if they require the ib tech

[rapid tusk]

Saint Louis is the only one that has the option “Develop”

[onyx flame]

depends if they even got the reqs, newbie guide makes you pick up helena and port so that alr 2/3 that can work towards saint louis while not focusing too hard on it

[cobalt robin]

though roon is optimal since most newer players will be lacking ib points for fdg

[polar lion]

So Lion, Bizwei, Alsace comp has been dethroned huh

[onyx flame]

yea, then just hit develop and dont worry too much about it till later

[south sequoia]

Still bis for bb light fleet

But meck wipes the sauce for med/heavy

[rain bobcat]

not that it matters lol

unless the next light meta needs airstrikes, BB will sweep regardless

[keen flower]

i just realized level affect oil cost, no wonder i use more oil each sortie
have never realized this

[rain bobcat]

no

[south sequoia]

Lion truly has changed the trajectory of bbs forever

[rain bobcat]

its limit breaks not level

[rapid tusk]

Ok

[late flame]

[rapid tusk]

“Waiting until you get to Chapter 12 to unlock a ship will be faster than trying to grind XP before then.”

So should I wait until chapter 12 before I hit develop?

[wind hazel]

no just develop now, but grind the exp later

[plain saffron]

it's both

lvl1-99 scaled + 2 per LB

[rapid tusk]

Can I develop multiple?

[onyx flame]

at once? no

[plain saffron]

you can only develop 1 at a time but you can enhance how many you want anytime

[late flame]

24 hour cooldown as well when you switch development

[rapid tusk]

So is there any downside to me hitting develop now? Or just the 24 hour cooldown?

[onyx flame]

literally none

[rapid tusk]

Ok good to know

[wind hazel]

there is downsive for you to not hit develop now

[onyx flame]

other than the 24hour cool down to pick a different one

[keen flower]

any reason to get san diego/warspite/cleveland retros?
or not worth it anymore for new players

[rapid tusk]

Ok cool thanks

[onyx flame]

cleve retro ?

[wind hazel]

sandiego is still very relevant for campaign
warspite, when you are rich
cleveland has no retro

[late flame]

Cleveland has retro? lol

[keen flower]

wait no not cleave

[onyx flame]

cleve 1.5 meta edition

[wind hazel]

yuudachi?

[keen flower]

either that or another CA/CL retro i honestly forgot

[ivory sigil]

portland?

[keen flower]

portland im already doing

[wind hazel]

helena?

[ivory sigil]

then i assume u are meaning maryland

cuz that's all the ship named "Land"

[late flame]

Maryland isnt CL

[keen flower]

oh wait its hele nvm

[wind hazel]

not priority

[keen flower]

yeah i honestly forgot she has retro cuz i did it very late

[wind hazel]

to recap
sandiego retro w13 and above
warspite not worth unless you're rich in spcore and coping for BB
helena not a priority, but can retro when you have excess CL retrobps

[sweet delta]

Will the T3 version of this be added soon?

[wind hazel]

considering that most of your cv retrobp will go to unicorn first, table has higher priority

[onyx flame]

1.5k core data per table poof

[wind hazel]

and also depends on what cv you have really

[silent bluff]

How many hours for the maintenance? 8?

[tender lotus]

Any tips for the current Harbiter?

[sick kettle]

so which any of these worth to mlb? i want to save up space cuz im currently got too many bullins

-# also you can ignore the dupes

[wind hazel]

AP guns on BBs

[tender lotus]

Use your dupes to LB ships that's the best way than retiring them

[wind hazel]

or nuke with IJN CVs

[wind hazel]

sirius cowpens

[tender lotus]

I haven't fought it yet so who's current arbiter?

[wind hazel]

hermit

[sick kettle]

I'll do that later, for now im broke on coins

[viscid swift]

How many have you got to spend exactly

First things first would be to get rid of the dupes though

You also just wanna get more dock space period

[sick kettle]

i could use 14 or more if theres some good option

[viscid swift]

There isn't really, all that remains is just tech really

[wind hazel]

owari, if you still need good bb

[viscid swift]

Well. Unless you don't have a sub fleet leveled already.

[south sequoia]

Hi pls let me know when cn maint is done so we can post the translation (assuming someone is going to do em)

[rain bobcat]

its in 30m

[rapid summit]

Where can I colour the manjuu for the manjuu drawing content?

[wind hazel]

huh

[onyx flame]

just save and edit the image yourself

[wind hazel]

save the template from #server-news, colour it on pc or phone

[vale spindle]

we are doing em

[rapid summit]

How the hell are people colouring in the manjuu so well

[wind hazel]

mspaint

[onyx flame]

the power of paint3d

[vale spindle]

[wind hazel]

lemme try asking grok

[south sequoia]

Those who know 💀

[wind hazel]

bro, AI is insane

[forest palm]

AI has kind of ruined art contests

[wind hazel]

you can tell mine is 100% non AI because i draw nice biceps

[rapid summit]

Ima just use my photo app for colouring it’ll be fire trust

[elfin hollow]

Is there some site where CN bros usually post skin interactions after the end of their maint

[onyx flame]

bilibili prob or just wait for skin guide

[rapid summit]

[whole crypt]

[wind hazel]

server live?

[whole crypt]

bili info

[wind hazel]

@vale spindle CN is live sir

[whole crypt]

ah open then

[stark quiver]

since servers are live, here are the fleets i made just now
that 100% match hull reqs by luck

[whole crypt]

Su6 is a worse tenrai supposedly

[onyx flame]

but is it a better helldiver

[sweet delta]

Who could have expected that

[wind hazel]

alpha napoli propaganda

[stark quiver]

napoli is good

[sweet delta]

Was kron gun added?

[whole crypt]

I would assume su6 is better than helldiver if # is comparing it with tenrai

no they added Brest gun

let me check notes if it's on there somewhere

[vale spindle]

yes its under russian bb gun section

[whole crypt]

yep doesn't look like Kronshtadt gun listed

[wind hazel]

[whole crypt]

oh wait here it is

北方連合超巡用主砲　B-50 305mm三連装砲Mk-15

[vale spindle]

working on "translation" rn will post in like 5-10 min whilst we are compiling gear lab tree images

[whole crypt]

so they added 2 CB guns in one lab update but one's just worse

[late flame]

Finally rainbow table

now gimme goldburn

[vale spindle]

apparently ply gun is not found in the gear lab data in the patch that we are using, so theres likely a hotfix coming soon

[wind hazel]

[vale spindle]

CN patch that we are using for translations obviously

-# mother of suixide botes

[polar lion]

Cowpens heal skill seems liek Aquila. But one dmg buff and the latter gib shield. But which is actually better?

[onyx flame]

https://youtu.be/hRikqxmpKFg?si=MwdWBpMF2N9hbkUp

[twin bronze]

Do we know the acv req for w14 hard?

[south sequoia]

Aquila finally dethroned?

[onyx flame]

their like on par if aquila is paired with musashi but cowpen does a crapload of dmg

well enty levels of dmg

[south sequoia]

ENTY???

[cloud panther]

any china streamers doing 14H?

[south sequoia]

A fucking healer of all people is doing enty levels of damage?

[onyx flame]

its kinda insane

[south sequoia]

[icy sphinx]

Damn

[wind hazel]

https://live.bilibili.com/193463?live_from=84001&trackid=undefined&spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click this one is doing it now

[rain bobcat]

"this one"

[wind hazel]

red lol

[rain bobcat]

guy has some pretty shit gear I can't lie

[wind hazel]

https://live.bilibili.com/5776102?live_from=84001&trackid=undefined&spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click

a lot are gooning to skins

[rain bobcat]

that would be me

resident skin sensei

[polar lion]

So basically replacing Aquila coz she has better personal dmg?

[cloud panther]

oh fuk forgot the first time is actually hitting people

instead of go straight to boss

[south sequoia]

Does the cowpens vs enty thing account for 100% lucky e?

[verbal plinth]

idk seems pretty stable with normal team comp until eld misses and eats dirt

[cloud panther]

cant believe bristol lamp not used here but I guess it works

[trail dagger]

so cownpens > indep in mobbing fleet ? in the process of retro-ing indep

[wind hazel]

different use

cow heals, indep doesn't

but thanks to her rld cow can stagger naturally too

[rapid summit]

[trail dagger]

Cownpens damage is similar to Enterpirse, does that also mean more than independece? Cause if so, cownpens is more useful that indep. that is my assuption tho

[ocean terrace]

enty is usually used for bossing though, and indep is a mobbing CV

[wind hazel]

well indep has crossfleet to consider, it comes down to whether you want cow's sustain or not. both are viable with unicorn

[ocean terrace]

also do you need specific planes and rld tech to fulfill cowpens's 4 strike? or can a new player bring out her damage

[onyx flame]

her 4th strike goes of at like 74? at 0 rld

[wind hazel]

0 rld, bf109g+vit2

[stark quiver]

I get 6 hours of sleep and then I get to wake up at 7 to speed clear 14h

[ocean terrace]

does it not depend on the planes I'm using though

[wind hazel]

yes of course

[stark quiver]

Mori aren’t you excited

[wind hazel]

flap@76s

[ocean terrace]

so as long as it's below 20s it's fine right

[wind hazel]

why, willy?

[cobalt robin]

enty so good she can be in any fleet

[ocean terrace]

I need to learn how to use that tool honestly

haven't gotten around to learning CV timing and BB timings

[wind hazel]

i mean you need to set a target first lol

you can't just say, oh do this do that, without knowing what is it for

different boss has different things to consider

[stark quiver]

It’s better than traneptora

[ocean terrace]

so timings are used to sync buffs with barrages and plane strikes right

[onyx flame]

im just gonna slap mobbing gear onto cow and call it a day

[wind hazel]

that's the general gist of it yes

mostly to take advantage of timing window for your buffs

[ocean terrace]

I assume certain bosses have different lengths of battle so you'd need to adjust for each one?

[desert epoch]

What's today's maintenance for? I haven't mlb my Lexi yet

[stark quiver]

Yes and gimmicks

[onyx flame]

#game-news message

[stark quiver]

New skins and gameplay content
Don’t worry event is still here

[ocean terrace]

what tool is used for seeing timings and stuff again, where you choose ships and gear

[woven star]

And against some bosses invulnerability

[onyx flame]

aldb calculator

[wind hazel]

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

[woven star]

Got a question is it any reason to use this? None DAL ships needs a company?

And is it work for this?

[onyx flame]

effect a bonus if someone is using the onigiri, if not you treat it like cosmic kicks

[cloud panther]

bigger problem is what fight is over 30secs and u can use DAL peoples

the cool heal stuffs gotta proc within 10secs or less otherwise I'd just use the basic toolbox

[stark quiver]

Onigiri gives kotori an extra barrage

[woven star]

Yeah. True. I just think do I want use it on York meta as Kurumi in fleet. But yes seems not worth

[ocean terrace]

huh, is that listed somewhere?

[stark quiver]

Not that I know of

[ocean terrace]

should I be using it then on DAL ships, I've just been running toolkit + EVA aux for vanguards
and standard poverty aux for Kotori and Origami

[woven star]

Crystal have eva for some CL/CA. If you don't have better options like wash machine

[stark quiver]

I mean you can
Don’t think it’s too important tho

[rapid summit]

What is the buff that mecky and bzwei have together again?

[wind hazel]

meck do extra dmg because of blackhole+zwei being ironblood

[stark quiver]

[wind hazel]

alpha are you gonna 3* lethal

[hollow gust]

I'm clearing with royal to have the flex for killing with only royal , then I'm swapping to tryhard fleet for 3 star lethal

[wind hazel]

hope your asw is good because it hurts lul

[ocean terrace]

why does the timeline only go up to 80s?

[hollow gust]

We have gone pretty far from the days with only one asw

[stark quiver]

Don’t subs die to lion flame

[stark quiver]

That’s standard battle time for relevant battles like meta showdown

[stark quiver]

It can’t not be good
Gannet + hedgehog + eld

[ocean terrace]

does there happen to be a list of battle time for bosses

[stark quiver]

Idk

[hollow gust]

If it stays a bitch I'm just gonna run Z52 Eld Sandy

[cloud panther]

battle time?

[wind hazel]

he's doing hms

[stark quiver]

Eld is as good as hms

[wind hazel]

[stark quiver]

I’m ultra tryharding the moment servers come up anyways
