[lyric stump]

I copied my mob from cn lol then i cant do boss

[stark quiver]

Boss is pretty easy

Full clear or just one fleet gun for boss

[versed elk]

should be the latter

[lyric stump]

Full clear. Like fight till boss spawn

[versed elk]

its impossible to do this boss on out of ammo im quite sure

[wind hazel]

you sure you werent seeing dupe fleet

[lyric stump]

U have 1 ammo left for 14-4

[versed elk]

i know, by full clear he means all the mobs on the map

[wind hazel]

because this is what some of they were doing

[versed elk]

my z52 died on the last mob but i cleared all the mobs relatively healthily

[versed elk]

yeah cowpens helps a lot for the 1 fleet wipe

[tender lotus]

Is that 2 unicorn?

[wind hazel]

2 raff unicorn aquila z52

[stark quiver]

Chinese gaming

[lyric stump]

They rly like that collab character

Idk why

[versed elk]

kurumi is really, really good

[wind hazel]

i mean kurumi is very good at tanking suicide ships, and surviving

[stark quiver]

Cuz she’s good

Too bad I can’t use her
Forgot to get her skin smh

[versed elk]

just use her brother

[wind hazel]

i have her skin 😈

[lyric stump]

Ig another character to raise

[versed elk]

my game crashed halfway while testing rumey and essex bruh

[stark quiver]

Sure you do

[wind hazel]

non believer

[stark quiver]

[wind hazel]

you wait i finish this meta fight

[versed elk]

i havent raised momo or kurumi but they seem really good for these fights, maybe better than bayard

[wind hazel]

segs

[stark quiver]

Mori whale

[versed elk]

wow ur 153

[wind hazel]

f2p gem LOL

[strange sphinx]

[wind hazel]

c1 grind paid off

[strange sphinx]

man need more bulin for Kurumi

[versed elk]

i almost didn't clear 14-4 boss with essex rumey lion might be time to drop rumey

[lyric stump]

Actual?

[versed elk]

it does not feel desynced enough to do its job

[wind hazel]

it's over a long period of time

[versed elk]

maybe i go back to independence

[strange sphinx]

[wind hazel]

yeah essex fritz have very close timing

[stark quiver]

I’m new

[versed elk]

you are only 142? no way

[wind hazel]

willy D porter, more like, willy DD porter

[strange sphinx]

Double DD, Double Bado-

[stark quiver]

I log in to play PvP and spend some oil then I log off

[versed elk]

what is pvp

[stark quiver]

Beta testing game mode

[versed elk]

bug fixing gamemode

[lyric stump]

Finally i did it

[strange sphinx]

is there a good F2P Gear for my Mob farming in Opsi? I can't give the good Gear to those ships because I'm also farming with them in Event

[stark quiver]

Have you considered amagi + hakuhou

[lyric stump]

My vanguard finally not dying

[wind hazel]

who would have thought not using traf as main tank will change things

[strange sphinx]

[versed elk]

is it actually good

[lyric stump]

Cause i ran out of option to not do 4dd cause of torp

[versed elk]

idk bro im too lazy to swap around too much gear so i just use indep for natural desync lol

[wind hazel]

you had options

[rain bobcat]

you dont even need 4 DD

[versed elk]

i'm using 2 dds

[lyric stump]

Its working now anyways. Clearing mode will be much easier cause i can throw shima and shit to fill requirement

[lyric stump]

How

[versed elk]

because im the goat

[rain bobcat]

are you using multiple CAs????

[stark quiver]

Only bayard died but that’s because she ran rudder and fumo
Was able to clear nicely even with synced cvs

[versed elk]

idk bro idk what to tell you i just hit the torp requirement

[strange sphinx]

should Vit white DB is enough for both Uni and Independe + Purple HE gun for FDG for Opsi Mob run?

[versed elk]

where battle tractor max

[stark quiver]

I forgot about that

[rain bobcat]

uni and indep can't even equip DBs

[lyric stump]

I was but i couldnt so i have to run dd

[wind hazel]

TB i assume

[lyric stump]

It works now anyways ty

[wind hazel]

the white vit2 is a TB

[versed elk]

gonna stick with this for my 37 more escort battles

[strange sphinx]

yeah yeah that stuff

the double Plane

[versed elk]

shimanto actually so good

[lyric stump]

Fr shimanto saved my day for the torp requirement

[versed elk]

i’m only using her cuz of the burn remove

[stark quiver]

How to pay to win gold plates

[strange sphinx]

Also Mori, Is it Advisable to give USS tb for independence or just give her wyvern?

[wind hazel]

just wyvern

[stark quiver]

There’s no good uss tb

[wind hazel]

skypirate 🔥

[versed elk]

c1

[lyric stump]

Sky pirate was good

[wind hazel]

not better than wyvern

[versed elk]

skypirate lmao legit havent heard that name in so long

[lyric stump]

Outdated ig

[lyric stump]

When i first play al i saw a guy did 12-4 with illustrious, illustrious u and lil illistrous and he used sky pirate

But that long long long ago

[stark quiver]

I am missing +13s smh

[versed elk]

why fairy magic is she not your flag

[late flame]

-# She believes in fairies

[versed elk]

why not wnt + slower he gun

to out time eldridge skill

[robust plinth]

are any event ships worth building rn? returning player here, little overwhelmed...

[stark quiver]

I found it better to use than wnt
457 is there to add more pressure to enemy backline n stuff

[versed elk]

might be server diff tbh i quite like wnt cus its more consistent

are u using nakhi or glorious nvm should be glorious cus u have fairy magic

[stark quiver]

Though you do have a point with outtiming eld
Glorious

[versed elk]

i think nakhi is more of a beneficiary from fairy magic and wnt on flag

[stark quiver]

Yes
The current rate up banner is good

[versed elk]

surely i start using bbs on medium in opsi so i can use nakhi in pvp finally

[robust plinth]

thanks

[stark quiver]

I don’t even have properly built opsi fleets

[rigid onyx]

lexington 2 has potential

for pvp

[versed elk]

i don't think so respectfully

[stark quiver]

I’ll start testing sometime soon maybe

[versed elk]

so fast mine is still lvl 70

[late flame]

hah pvp

[versed elk]

fortunately i already got the highest score on my server post-lion so i can take a break now

[stark quiver]

Ima get a few more podiums and retire probz

[versed elk]

i still find it crazy ur 142 my amagi was 140 when i stopped in end 2023

[stark quiver]

I don’t grind a lot

[strange sphinx]

how good is the Event Aircraft?

[versed elk]

timing db its better than suisei kai orwhatever u call the gold suisei 12 or something

[late flame]

limited to event = just get it even if its crap since it's gonna be ages before its back

[strange sphinx]

Well I got it already, just asking how good it is

[lofty thistle]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[kind slate]

how’s the new dd? winston or smth?

is she higher priority than sashi so far?

how abt lex ii

ik she’s good for light or smth

[wind hazel]

the priority depends on what you have and not

[kind slate]

pls wait imma get photo of roster

[lofty thistle]

[wind hazel]

honestly, probably only lexington, then laffey2 next month, then ask again lol

[lofty thistle]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[wind hazel]

if you wanna push campaign i'd just do raffaello alone first

[kind slate]

i’ve just got w15 left. still raff? no one else?

[wind hazel]

kinda-ish? maybe lexii will help but you also have essex amagi, you're not in much need of the other non MLB

[mossy junco]

retrofit helena doesnt count?

[wind hazel]

i guess if you put essex to support, then lexii will help as main fleet yeah

guam laffey2 will give you room to mlb both raff and lexii

[wind hazel]

it counts

[strong tartan]

she should

[mossy junco]

i guess its bugged for me

[wind hazel]

or you didnt have her on boss fleet, or you didn't do at A2 or C2

[mossy junco]

ah classic one of being illiterate, i assumed it was B3/D3 for all ships

[wind hazel]

💀

[whole crypt]

sortie frame missions are useless anyway

[mossy junco]

i need them this time😔

[tropic tusk]

u probly die at boss battle

[whole crypt]

are you missing one of the event ships or something

[mossy junco]

no bullins to mlb

[whole crypt]

which ship
there's like 2 more weeks to the event

more like Cowpens is the only SR ship
LexII and Clemeta are obtain
the other 2 are purple

[mossy junco]

cuz rngesus thought one cowpen for ~500 cubes was enough, and i need the bullins for other ones

[wind hazel]

just do helena lol

[whole crypt]

again there's 2 more weeks
that or just hold out for the rerun then you get it for free

[wind hazel]

you can run it as low oil A2 for 2 weeks, dont worry

ranger+helena A2 for 10 days ez 300 points

[whole crypt]

if it's Helena retrofit you can probably run C2 low cost for more points

[tropic tusk]

just unicorn + helean a2 x10 problem slove lol

[wind hazel]

i think a2 bonus is more than c2 no?

[whole crypt]

if you do a2 daily I guess

[tropic tusk]

idk i just mlb all the ship and that mission was done

[whole crypt]

I'm just thinking of getting it out of the way in one stretch of C2s

[light trail]

is it a sin if i ignore cleveland meta crystals

[wind hazel]

maybe

[light trail]

like realistically she'll never be worth anything right

[whole crypt]

not much special about her and MLB doesn't give tech, you can raise her as 0LB for tech it's just a lot more troublesome

[wind hazel]

well she can reach lv120 without mlb, so yeah

[tropic tusk]

thers no harm in getting her crystals right? u do have to fam to 55k or sth in event

[onyx flame]

doesnt it get yeeted into the meta shop right after anyway

[wind hazel]

yeah it does

[whole crypt]

it does but crystal frags are fairly limited

[tropic tusk]

shes also droppable in d3

[light trail]

i plan to farm more than that because of hvar prints so i probs will get more but if i dont have full crystals like... i dont really want to care

[versed elk]

if u want to farm more than that just buy from shop lmao

[wind hazel]

yes you dont need to care

[tropic tusk]

if u dont care for tech points later on then u can just ignore

[light trail]

there's so much to buy this time tho

also what tech does she give at 120

[tropic tusk]

isnt always the same amount for new UR

[versed elk]

it feels like the exact same

[whole crypt]

clemeta doesn't even give any useful tech points and you can level to 120 without LB for METAs

[whole crypt]

there's less to buy this event than say an event with a rainbow gear

[light trail]

that's kinda bad

[whole crypt]

also crystals are cheaper than dupes

CL FP is good but again you don't need to LB to level her

[light trail]

yeah well im not an idiot im not gonna buy a second ship from shop lol

[whole crypt]

you can if you farm 100k like I do

[versed elk]

back to sleep

[tropic tusk]

believe me its call fat fingers , cause i bought it by accident before

[wind hazel]

💀 ngl but if you're farming hvar, what do you even care about your overflowing event currency. what is her crystal gonna cost you

[versed elk]

yes you will 100% overflow event currency

[whole crypt]

just care about the shop after you're done farming

[light trail]

how many more days of missions that give us 5 UR exchange tokens btw

[versed elk]

u got 3 weeks to farm hvar so just spam then buy it after event ends

[wind hazel]

~ <2 more weeks?

[white agate]

she is free, tho i have to admit i got only 1 copy of her and am at 70k points with 28/50 HVAR

[whole crypt]

I mean if you want the WDP dupe I guess it does cost a bit more

[versed elk]

yeah im farming for the dupe i think i might raise both

[whole crypt]

but if you're farming HVAR you'll probably have the drop by then

[warped acorn]

@wind hazel got shimanto now, who else do I get for w15

[wind hazel]

gouden leeuw

[versed elk]

guam works fine

[warped acorn]

hmmm, that's going to be another time I guess...

[alpine musk]

just got the admiralty rainbow gear, are any of these worth buying as well?

[wind hazel]

no

[alpine musk]

i see

[white agate]

Z flag, an aux that gets its very own additional effect only on mikasa gets 3 copies, admirality an aux that gets used by everyone gets only 2 copies

[analog tendon]

just unlocked and tried the lv100 Tactical Training raid. Killed the boss but got an A because i didn't kill all the enemies?
Please don't tell me that a suicide boat exploding on my main fleet is considered a missed kill....

[white agate]

idk, been too long since i played it; i just sweep it every time

[onyx flame]

Prob took too long or someone sank

[analog tendon]

i got the ☑️ for kill in time and no-one-died, only the "kill every enemy" was missing. And the suicide boats crashing on the backline are the only thing i can think of that i technically didn't sink normally

[trail dagger]

any york II subs for making lex 2 better? Currently running Ancorage, + Enterprise for 3 USS

[onyx flame]

York2 provides the aa debuff to enemies while also buffing lex2

Also if you dont have the aa debuff running 3 uss ships does nothing for lexi2

[trail dagger]

Whattttt

Oh i reread the buff again, actually cooked

[rigid onyx]

keep in mind the aa debuff doesn't have to be USS, so a lot of people theorize that yorkii lexii/lion/kear + traf is good as well

[tropic tusk]

i might be blind i might be not , but does this game have a line channel/ platform? in any language

[rapid tusk]

What are war archives?

[tropic tusk]

basically old event that was once limited now perma

[heavy zealot]

Should i tryna retrofit warspite

[tight yarrow]

Is the UR g7e worth to make? Or i just stick with bidder

[rigid onyx]

subs are niche

[heavy zealot]

Ah, i thought she'd be good

[tropic tusk]

shes currently tier 0 pvp , but u need other ships also... so its not really good for beginner

[heavy zealot]

Who to mlb next

[tight yarrow]

Stick with bidder is it then

[trail dagger]

im in the situation being poor on UR, this is my UR

[heavy zealot]

I was thinking wdp musashi or implacable

[heavy zealot]

Where's this

[trail dagger]

here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit?gid=803392514#gid=803392514

[tight yarrow]

Prob musashi for campaign

[onyx flame]

imo do musashi first then depends on how much ur bulins you have after you can do willy d or wait for laff2

[heavy zealot]

Wait laff2? Is she gonn be back?

[tropic tusk]

should be on jan /feb

[onyx flame]

like 15 jan or thats what cheeky said

[tropic tusk]

every year nov, dec, jan is a tough time for new players im happy im finally pass that

[onyx flame]

im in a aight spot 11 ur bulins to my name thou 7 is basically reserved for laff2 and sashi

[tropic tusk]

i just need like 4 more URs to mlb then i will start having excess bulins

[meager path]

Is pasadena good to build or downgrade?

[onyx flame]

she's an elite which basically makes her collection tier alr

[tropic tusk]

how dare u say that to unicorn

[lofty thistle]

unicorn is basically ur in everything but actual rarity

[white agate]

unicorn is a SR

[lofty thistle]

[tropic tusk]

shes SR after retrofit

[tropic tusk]

give it a try

[white agate]

still SR, she is gold in the dock

[tropic tusk]

she startes with purple

[white agate]

same as essex is a UR ship

[tropic tusk]

essex is gold to begin with

[inland shoal]

You stepped into a purple patch, it's poison or whatever. Sometimes the visual effect bugs and doesn't go away

Does leaving and reentering OpSi not fix it?

[lofty thistle]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[inland shoal]

Interesting
I think I just kept it running whenever it happened to me and it eventually fixed itself
Though maybe that's also just me not caring until the next day when I'd restart AL anyway

[tropic tusk]

it fix itself cause new effect over lap

[inland shoal]

Yeah that makes sense I suppose

[wind hazel]

is anyone else getting this visual bug? usually from returning from sortie

[onyx flame]

i get it when i claim comms then put new ones and go back

[inland shoal]

Had it once but that's long ago
Not like I played the game a whole lot in the past 4 days tho

[wind hazel]

aight i guess it's buggy patch

[inland shoal]

On that note does anyone else have the issue that upon accepting a comm the comm is obviously accepted and the timer is ticking down but the client somehow doesn't realise it's accepted and thinks you still have 4 comm slots and tries to put the same ships into other comms again when you press recommend? Only solution is relog
This happens to me almost every single day

[wind hazel]

gives you invalid input something something on 2nd try?

happens a lot when you press too fast at the commission

[whole crypt]

smol indie dev plz understand

[inland shoal]

My bad sorry for trying to play the game without waiting 2 business days after every button press

[wind hazel]

old game can't handle fast finger 😭

[warped acorn]

are william good for w15

[wind hazel]

can be

[warped acorn]

perhaps i shall open another thread for it, the old one is lost

[vestal yoke]

I just made an account, I saw that you can get a free UR, what should I be doing to get it?

[warped acorn]

w15 fleet upd

[silent bluff]

What's the fastest way to level up ships?

[onyx flame]

grind the event, you can get it from the event shop with event currency

[onyx flame]

book/dorm them to a survivable level and then bring em to lvl at 12-1

[wind hazel]

you get to pick either new jersey or shinano from completing the Handhook, but it's pretty useless. UR ships are useless with just 1 copy

[onyx flame]

oh that free ur

[trim path]

any big difference in 14-3h and 14-4h compared to 14-1h and 14-2h?

[whole crypt]

may or may not be referring WDP but

[wind hazel]

oh yeah true

[whole crypt]

14-1 and 2 has no subs
14-3 and 4 also has worse level advantage for you

[wind hazel]

you know i didnt even think we have free ur this event

cause nobody talk about her 😭

[whole crypt]

well she probably will be going with LexII into that anti-light but no light boss now

just as a reference with the exact same fleet that I struggled with 14-4 to 0ammo mob and watching shelling RNG on boss, can lethal 3-star 14-2 with 0 issue

[trim path]

dam

[strange sphinx]

[silent bluff]

Are there anything worth buying for lex2?

[dim tundra]

which meta should I get?

[tropic tusk]

none those are pema no need to rush

all just for colelciton

[low basin]

Is it better to use 2x oil when farming or not?

[tropic tusk]

only x2 when u dont have time

[onyx flame]

the high eff plans? those mostly help you save time

[tulip tinsel]

purple meta only good for tech

[tropic tusk]

cause it just x2 reward and not exp

[tulip tinsel]

what? it doubles xp too

[onyx flame]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[low basin]

How about morale? Does it consume 2x as well?

[tropic tusk]

read again

[onyx flame]

it basically makes it so that you do 2 runs worth but in 1 runs instead

[wind hazel]

it doubles your exp

it doubles everything

[crimson glacier]

except affinity gain 🤓

[wind hazel]

gain deez 🌰

[tropic tusk]

someone lied to me about not double exp

[strange sphinx]

[tropic tusk]

i have never used x2

[tight yarrow]

uh, wwhy when i click the survey thing in game it said my name is 140 something and server is 3? should i be worry?

[tropic tusk]

140 sth shoul be ur id?

[strange sphinx]

can I ask, do we have List of Gear load out that is "Historical Accurate" (Where the Ships use the loadout that she used in Real history)

[tight yarrow]

my id isnt it, that why i'm worry

[tulip tinsel]

yea it's messed up, the survey

[tropic tusk]

go check on that server u might have an account there also

[shell willow]

it said my level is 1 or something, dw about it

[tropic tusk]

if not contact support

[tight yarrow]

i see

[dim tundra]

do I try to get her?

[hollow gust]

First copy is practically free

[ember patrol]

is the Admiralty Fire Control Table, gear I can safely upgrade to +13?

[dim tundra]

alr

[ember patrol]

just grabbed the second one, didn't even know it was available

[hollow gust]

That’s the highest priority aux gear to level

[ember patrol]

cool!

now Musashi can have rainbow gear lol

has any other rainbow gear been added? Like in the gearlab or was it just the table?

[low basin]

Hello! What should i take in this list? I'm thinking about taking Musashi/Ulr since i only have NJ as my battleship, but taking York II to pair with Lex II sounds nice as well so i couldn't decide

[rapid shard]

Musashi and keep picking her till shes MLB.

[low basin]

What does MLB mean?

[rapid shard]

Max Limit Broken.

Rainbows are basically useless till MLB, that also applies to all other rarities

[low basin]

Got it! Thank you

[stable badger]

we got a ch14 hard mode guide yet?

[rapid shard]

Suchi has a YouTube video going through everything for W14H

[rapid shard]

Ply gun is craftable now and new g7e rainbow torp

[ember patrol]

I have two of Ply Gun's is getting a third one reasonable/useful?

[dire arch]

Hello I'm new here. Can someone help me how to get Roon?

[stable badger]

fml. i just used my last 50 blueprints for one... now i just spend coins for it...

[quartz island]

Small amount of extra FP on the BBs for bossing if you need it; 3+ also tends to be helpful for PVP imo

[rapid shard]

Still better to protocore first one. @stable badger they are 6 rainbow ord to craft

[stable badger]

i'm uber old. i try to keep blue prints worth of 1 gun for... my hubris

[dire arch]

There is only 2 remaining progress left. One has this Sortie with Iron Blood vanguard one?

[rapid shard]

rich people problems

[rapid shard]

You need to grind xp with Iron Blood vanguard units

[onyx flame]

however if your new

tldr reach chp 12 then focus on it

[strange sphinx]

[dire arch]

Oh okay. I'll try.

[strange sphinx]

is there still no Separate Gear load out for Opsi?

[rain bobcat]

no

the answer is get rich enough that you don't need to change gear

I kill all of opsi with just my BB fleet

I dont even use HE gun on temperance and she just dies like a fly getting swatted

[sick kettle]

are there any soviet gears that worth crafting?

[stable badger]

still a ways away. needed another rainbow gun, hence why i converted my blueprints... only to be able to Make the gun now

[undone plover]

how did clear mode 15-4 work?
boss fights all 3 bosses but no debuff?

does it need healer then

[soft raft]

Wait since PR5 is now in gear lab, wouldn't Dragon Empery have their own tab as well so you can mass produce Harbin gun

[rapid shard]

No empry section yet sadly. Would love a couple Harbin guns tho

[wind hazel]

depends on what fleet but nowadays can forgo healer with OP ships

can always chuck in a cowpens if you're scared

[soft raft]

I just kept my boss fleet the same mainly out of laziness, but I prob could ditch Volga now that I've gotten it to safe

[undone plover]

not raised yet

[wind hazel]

volga it is

[undone plover]

farming H2 finally

[rapid shard]

How much more core data does 14H give compared to W13H?

[hard mesa]

Harbin gun is in np dd tho

[soft raft]

Wait what 💀

[analog tendon]

I currently have almost 100 medals worth of rare/elite dupes in dock for their eventual lv70 MLB, but i feel like i'd be better off retiring them all to use the medals now.
I always have more important ships to level up so those lv70 would probably be far in the future. Should i do it?

[rapid shard]

If they are from easily aquireable stages sure. Plus purple bulins come in excess so no real need to worry too much about dupes

[urban grail]

w14H full of planes right

[undone plover]

should be 2 more if this pattern holds

[rapid shard]

Not much plane wise. Its subs, beefy suicide ships and stupid HP BBs

[white agate]

W.T.F.

[hard mesa]

[wind hazel]

something something harbin was a gift or had history with NP or something

[white agate]

guess that works

[tight yarrow]

what is 14-4 boss armor type?

[white agate]

anyhow already brought it with special core, not gonna waste my opsi currency

[undone plover]

medium

[dim tundra]

do I spend my medals on requisition or save up to buy these

[undone plover]

never do requisition

buy spec core then san diego from CL imo

try for both if u can

[dim tundra]

oh okay

how do I get a lot of medals?

[undone plover]

just farming maps
u get elite and rare dupes and u retire them

Does this mean that if a CL can equip some DD guns they should ALWAYS use a DD gun instead of a CL one?

bad advice for newish players ngl

[undone plover]

yes
there is some special cases like felix schulz but 95% of the time u want DD gun

[brave rover]

fellas who should i be spendin my rainbows on

[wind hazel]

finish your lexii

[white agate]

is there a support tier list for w15 bw? i don't see any index about supports fleet ships in the doc

[sleek spade]

Hey guys does sexy lexy 2 really need someone to do the AA debuff for her skills to work better? If yes, who would be best?

[wind hazel]

it's on suchi's w15 guide

yk2, traf, laf2, few others i cant remember

[woven star]

York2, traf

[sleek spade]

Nice, then Imma pair her with kear and york 2 for a mega light boss slayer for opsi

[white agate]

it has no pictures jkjk

[wind hazel]

it doesnt indeed

[inland shoal]

Welp I got it too now. But the background is just completely invisible
By afking in main screen in my case, came back from the afk screen, got that

[wind hazel]

yeah i think today's mini patch screwed things up. i submitted a bug report, see if it gets fixed soon

[inland shoal]

[kind slate]

do we know where to tap for the skins

[onyx flame]

most yea https://bit.ly/ALCFguide

which ships are in the winter wishing well card

[tulip tinsel]

Winter Wishes to get the limited item, Wish-Fulfilling Card. Choose one of the 7 SR ships (Bismarck, Belfast, South Dakota, Kuybyshev, Impero, Graf Zeppelin, Richelieu) to accompany you into the New Year!

[wind hazel]

it indeed goes past 90 i was wrong

[tropic tusk]

NICE

hope its enough for my uni i just swap it this morning

[inland shoal]

Smh forgetting about that well known lvl 1 oath tech

[wind hazel]

i legit thought it was other buff. thought this was just increased affinity gain from battle

[analog tendon]

Wait what? The secretary buff from the minievent allows affinity to go past 90 just by being the secretary?

[inland shoal]

Does this buff even work for battle affinity? In fact is there any buff that does?

[analog tendon]

....my dear Hestia, you are finally reaching 100 affinity today

[wind hazel]

there isn't? maybe im wrnog

[versed elk]

yeah thats how people do lvl 1 oath

[undone plover]

I learned u need to be logged into the game for that secretary affinity to add up
I used to change secretary overnight and thought I was being smart

[plain saffron]

smh

[whole crypt]

secretary affinity after 90 with the blessings is very slow though

[undone plover]

Do we also get this during LNY?

I forgot
Or was it always dec event only

[civic vortex]

wooow

[prime quartz]

can i put volga and illustrious in the same flagship team?

[whole crypt]

you can put them in the same fleet but whatever for

you won't really be using Illustrious for most part

[prime quartz]

thank you!

im newbie in map 5 atm xD ill have a long time to level up them first

[whole crypt]

Volga is a good ship but Illustrious is a waste of resources

[prime quartz]

😦 okay... im using javelin, should i level up laffey for mob deck

[whole crypt]

you shouldn't even be bothering with 2 fleets at that level

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

[prime quartz]

@@ oh sure! tysm

should i run javelin and laffey in the same deck? or one for mob one for boss

[undone plover]

Like nntktt said
1 fleet for now
Not 2

Read the links
It explains stuff
If u still have questions come back and ask np

[prime quartz]

no but i have 2 fleets with all ~50ish level

and the game ask for 2 fleets🥹

[undone plover]

That is bad
1 for now
Later when u get to ch9 u can make 2 fleets

[prime quartz]

okay tyty

[undone plover]

Try and farm event if u can
B1 stage is good if u can farm it

U can go back to story later

[robust plinth]

I'm a returning player, i have 25k oil rn and I'm planning to grind the story mode... but im overwhelmed trying to build an oil efficient fleet. is there any way i can make this process easier? 😭

edit : currently on world 8

[plain saffron]

ignore oil cost and progress

there's oil cap anyway in world 9+

[tulip tinsel]

just do event

[undone plover]

We need a big FARM EVENT disclaimer

[white agate]

how does that work?, the lvl 1 tech i mean

[robust plinth]

do i need to 3 star them asap? sorry if i ask alot basic things. i havent played this game for 1700 ish days if im not wrong... also what's farm event disclaimer?

[tulip tinsel]

you can 3 star them whenever you want, but it gives gems which is nice, event is not permanent while campaign is so you should focus on that instead of campaign

[wind hazel]

secretary to 90, then use buff to further increase from 90 to 100

[undone plover]

Normally u need to get affinity from 90 > 100 with sortie only
Since no other source and secretary caps at 90

And if u sortie u cant not get xp
So cant stay level 1

In this event there is a blessing that removes the 90 cap from secretary

Is there a level 1 200 aff I wonder

[white agate]

oh, i thought it was a secret tech to farm affinity faster

[undone plover]

No that is called 1-1 farming tech

[blissful galleon]

What are some good tanks that are permanently available?

Im trying to set up a good mob fleet but not sure what would be a good vanguard tank >.<

[undone plover]

Most are in shipyard
Anchorage and agir are relatively easy to get

Show your vanguard if u are not sure
Early chapters mob doesnt need anything especially bulky with unicorn carrying

[ocean terrace]

not permanently available but Guam and Laffey II soon

[undone plover]

Yeah I was just about to type that as well

[blissful galleon]

I know everything is underleveled right now but I’m building a hopefully will be mob fleet once leveled - -‘

[prime quartz]

Thanks for helping me, i never thought i can clear with just 1 fleet. Should i switch indianapolis to another ship? Or this is okay

[soft raft]

Swap her out with Helena

Indianapolis is complete ass and doesn't help Portland enough In any meaningful way to justify ever using her

Iirc her tech is mid as well but that's a different thing

[undone plover]

Do your pulls on event dont forget

Maybe u get sth good to replace some of them

[prime quartz]

Okay, i read the guild but snother one said helena does not good in early stage like mine

[soft raft]

What

[tulip tinsel]

ca cb aa lol

[prime quartz]

Too sad i got none yet TT only 70 pulls way to go

[undone plover]

Dont listen to ppl outside this channel

[soft raft]

Did you read it wrong or something, cuz it should be late game not early game

[prime quartz]

Haha okay, the guide said helena needs better gears to buff on time

Ill just focus on your help here from now haha thankyouuu

[soft raft]

What guide are you even reading
That's a bit of an exaggeration as well

Helena only needs SG radar (after retrofit) to maintain sync with BBs that use HSFCR/AFCT

[prime quartz]

Okay... i read too many random guides idk... lucky i fix my fleet just now 😭

[robust plinth]

just curious... is it worth starting a new account now? and what server? looking for some p2w action yk... since im a grown up and i can spend my hard earned money

[soft raft]

Here just read this one
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[prime quartz]

I just did, already save the link xD

[soft raft]

You can't exactly p2w this game besides the lvl 70 commander pack

The monetization model is heavily skewed towards selling hot skins, just spend your money on that on your regular account

[robust plinth]

what about the pr packs?

[undone plover]

they are time saver packs
I personally would rather spend on dock space, skins and oath rings instead

u can research a PR ship in 1 week if u have a good setup
and the blueprints are also not that hard to get
DR blueprints are more time gated but u cant p2w DR anyway

[ocean terrace]

could you explain that to me

how does that help sync?

[undone plover]

bb with radar have 15% cd offset on first salvo
so instead of 20 40 60 they fire on 18 38 58 etc
nromal helena is every 20 seconds
with SG radar she also gets first scan offset

[soft raft]

(and preloads don't count as "first salvo")

[undone plover]

sg radar is inferior to defensive aux
but when u want to use her with radar-ed BBs u have to use SG radar

[robust plinth]

yeah i was shocked when i saw i can speedrun PR ships. thought i can speedrun fdg lmao

[undone plover]

been there done that

[ocean terrace]

hmmm but that's an estimated 20 40 60 to a 18 38 58 right?
as in most BB salvos are around that time

[robust plinth]

how much dock space do you have btw

[ocean terrace]

so as long as Helena's buff period is active, all BB salvos should end up in that time frame and do more damage

[sweet delta]

1 out of those 5 ships is good. You seriously need to read some guides https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide#investing-in-new-ships

[blissful galleon]

wait what does this mean lol

[low basin]

Helloo, what should i build next for CVL? I really don't know which one is good and i need another. I heard Cowpens and Independence is good, but might as well confirm it

[undone plover]

yeah it is usually more I just used 18 as an example
Ideally u want to be around 16 36 56 76 etc etc
which syncs perfectly with SG helena

[robust plinth]

the pack where you can insta unlock pr ships and get all the blueprints

[sweet delta]

Cowpens is good all the way through endgame, and since you have a bunch of dupes you save gold bulins .
Independence needs retrofit to be good

[ocean terrace]

and is there a particular reason why BBs use radars? also that includes AFCTs right?

[white agate]

oath rings are the 2nd p2w thing, but the stat boost is not that huge anyway

[undone plover]

it gives hit stat + extra salvo in meta fights
without radar u only get 3 with the typical 20s cd guns

[sweet delta]

Because they give fat stats

[undone plover]

yeah afct is just a better radar

[ocean terrace]

I see ty

[undone plover]

this is a quick mcburger gun setup with radar and helena scan
u can see it lines up overall pretty well
u can min max this more with changing guns and rld tech etc etc
and oaths but u get the idea

[ocean terrace]

time to collect 3000 core data for AFCTs

[undone plover]

technically zwei here is missing some of the scans but u are overall hitting more windows than missing

[ocean terrace]

not sure if I should be thinking about timing just yet since my only bosses are harbiter and meta (which are both far out of reach to do atm)

[undone plover]

it is more so the lack of gear early on
U should think about it always
it makes your life easier
but when u dont even have radars not much u can do

even in opsi radar is usually used since some bosses have nasty debuffs and shields at 20 second intervals

[ocean terrace]

ah, I've encountered the invulnerability one, but how would you even counter that, it lasts so long

[undone plover]

and for campaign radar gives u good stagger/desync from the CVs

[undone plover]

u go faster or slower
most of the time faster
or u just manual until u can do that

[ocean terrace]

guess it's manual for now then

[sweet delta]

It is quite simple, if homework tells you to not use AFCT/HSFCR then you don't use them, else if you have AFCT then you use AFCT, else if you have HSFCR then you use HSFCR

[white agate]

if homework tells you to not use AFCT/HSFCR then you don't use them?

[ocean terrace]

what if I don't have enough for everyone on my fleet, is it still recommended to use them? I won't be syncing anything though

[undone plover]

yeah
essentially radar + white shell = default aux gear for most BBs

[ocean terrace]

so black shell really is niche

[undone plover]

i would still use it if u have it
better 1-2 BB hitting a dumb shield than 3 if u are autoing
unless u read the buffs and can time around em

for meta showdown i guess u can use autoloader on the last BB until u get the radar

[ocean terrace]

uh I've been using purple fire control radar

and black shell on the other

[wooden osprey]

are there ready to copy fleets for w15?

[undone plover]

it is used when hit rate is capped against a boss
and in mixed BB + CV we use double shell usually since radar would mean your BB would be a lot faster than your CVs
BB have higher reload and CV dont have radar

[ocean terrace]

but CV timings can be adjusted with planes

[blissful galleon]

is there an azure lane for desktop?

[ocean terrace]

emulators yeah, no official desktop client though

[white agate]

CV have manju and the other weird pink one

[low basin]

Can i already use Anchorage or do i wait till i really max her?

[white agate]

join the horde spelling pc port with the emoticons after every post in #game-news

[undone plover]

yes but the issue is the BB radar offsets only the first salvo

so imagine u get CV and BB around 20 second each > that is perfect
but now u put radar on BB and your BB will have 20 second cooldown but fires first salvo 3 second sooner
now your BB will always be 3 second faster

[ocean terrace]

I see I see

[sweet delta]

She at Dev 15 is already better than Portland

[ocean terrace]

what if you had like Cowpens, who I've been told has very quick reload

[undone plover]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15

[ocean terrace]

though I guess Cowpens isn't great for bossing

[undone plover]

realistically u cant sync her for bossing I think unless u really gimp your other carriers
I will need to look into her exact timings to give a better answer sry

like this for heavy armor on 0 rld tech
she is still too fast
maybe if u have La9 for her
or gimp 2 slots on enty and lexii

not really worth the hassle i think

[ocean terrace]

whaaaat how'd you know that's my CV fleet

[undone plover]

i remember your thread

[ocean terrace]

so I should use Helena in my BB fleet right? or is she better in my CV one

[undone plover]

works in both
more pain in CV since CV have a hard time reaching 22 seconds cooldown
any longer than that and they tend to miss her scan after 3 scans

[ocean terrace]

I see, also should I be using different planes or just stick with my hellcats, helldivers and barracudas

[undone plover]

u could run cowpens alone and sync enty and lexii tho
can work as a decent fleet until u get a better bossing carrier
YOLO her strikes maybe she gets lucky

[ocean terrace]

I do have Origami who's syncable I think

[undone plover]

better planes when u have em why not
if u are asking about crafting better planes depends if u have more prio

the QGG/gear lab prio should give a good idea

[ocean terrace]

yeah I'm saving up for a Wyvern atm, before crafting anything else

[undone plover]

if she is already raised why not
but raising collabs hurts your shipyard and tech progression

[ocean terrace]

she's mlb and lvl 110 since she was one of my first ships

only reason I decided to drop her from campaign fleets were because Cowpens and Indep are so good for campaign

[undone plover]

then use her tbh why not
I feel like she will do better than cowpens unless cowpens gets 4 lucky strikes

[cobalt robin]

LUCKY E

[white agate]

anyone knows what card gives what buff and why the 5 coins?

[ocean terrace]

hm Enty is very slow, and they start to desync

[undone plover]

btw u should do hard arbiter even if u cant beat it
getting to 75% gives some rewards
I was stupid and misses 5 months cause didnt know

[undone plover]

well enty and lexii are synced well

but origami is faster
and helena scan only fitting first salvo
salvo 2 and 3 miss her
still decent if she does proc for salvo 1 but she will be better in bb fleet i think

[ocean terrace]

I haven't actually made a BB bossing fleet yet, since I'm waiting for either FDG or Monarch to be done, Monarch will probably be most likely quicker to finish though both will take a month or 2

[undone plover]

in general most CV ordnance needs ~3.5 seconds to reach the boss

[ocean terrace]

only built BBs are Maryland retro and Kotori atm

[undone plover]

use any raised BB together it is fine
if not then helena can stay for CV
i remember it is your second month
so dw too much u are progressing well

[ocean terrace]

alright tyyy

shipyard really does take its time, I've got Roon developing and Anchorage researching, working on tech points for FDG and will do Monarch as filler but this will all take a while
hopefully done by the time Plymouth is coinable

[slender turtle]

How many hvars are really needed? Im at 4 right now and trying to see how much more I have to farm really to be comfy

[undone plover]

FdG will need 37 days of coining
so u have until then to dev plymouth

[undone plover]

honestly 4 is probably good enough
mixed CV fleets are the meta these days and those at most have 4 fighters

maybe if ykii lexii kear becomes light meta u MIGHT want 5? idk about that tho

and Kear can always run La9 not like her fighter slot matters that much

[ocean terrace]

slkdjsfjkf I don't even have near the tech points for Plymouth, she's just my next best target after the ones I'm working on atm

[undone plover]

and if we are being real lion probably beats kear anyway

[slender turtle]

Yeah figured i would want 1 more for when i dev 30 kear. But that brings up my real problem of no la9s lol

[undone plover]

u will get there keep at it

1 la9 will be in proto shop soon

[blissful galleon]

is lexington II worth it?

[slender turtle]

I started playing kinda towards the end of pr7, and heard it was better to focus pr8 when it came out, but I’ll be switching to pr7 after i get my last 2 meck gun prints

La9 in proto shop is big news frfr

[undone plover]

she is very good
worth limit breaking depends on what else u have in your dock

[undone plover]

u might want to stay until u finish mecklenburg and gouden leeuw as well

[slender turtle]

Oh i have them all finished, just need the last 2 prints for second gun

[blissful galleon]

I feel like a complete beginner eventhough ive been playing on and off for like a year ;-; ive cleared trough 10-1 but I notice my fleets are just not that strong and I would like to try and make a good mob and boss fleet that will carry me further while I kinda start to understand how to actually build a fleet

[undone plover]

read the guides
and make a thread lets have a look at your fleets
also u should farm event not story for now

[slender turtle]

Unicorn plus 5 ships will carry you till like world 12tbh

Yeah i mean her and 5 okay ships will get ya through 12 really

[ivory pawn]

Uni + 11 ships*. Usually start needing a second fleet around w10.

[blissful galleon]

thats kinda were im at

[slender turtle]

Her plus independence really equals ez mode for any mobbing stuff

[blissful galleon]

I need to start making a boss and mob fleet...

[undone plover]

d3 map is a good place to raise fleet 2

[ivory pawn]

But back to what Faerlein said, make a thread, post your dock, and we’ll make the best out of those two fleets.

This is the whole problem with your fleet, you're using 4 level 100 ships with zero limit breaks

i was trying to build a new hopefully use in the future fleet, not the feet i would actually use right now, at least not till i level it :)

Egg Fleet Help

[mighty tulip]

Started playing this past weekend and as a new player I feel like I’ve used all my oil farming levels to het my second fleet capable of being a mob fleet to help me progress thru the chapters. I just reached ch 6. Is this normal?

[sweet delta]

No it is not normal, you should not be leveling a second fleet

Read these
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/
https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[mighty tulip]

Oof okay thank you!

[narrow arch]

Insane, so I pulled once on the normal heavy pool since I already got Lexington II, just to see if it counted as 2 pulls or 1 for the UR pitty and I just pulled new jersey. I thow her into a bossing fleet with implacable dont i?

Since musashi would be the mobbing fleet BB

[ivory pawn]

You leave her on the bench.

[narrow arch]

Why's that?

[ivory pawn]

MLB good ship > non-MLB UR.

[sweet delta]

[narrow arch]

Oh well yes this was all assuming I had her MLB since I only need 1 UR bulin to MLB her

[soft raft]

NJ has also been heavily powercrept in general

[sweet delta]

And new jersey is among the bottom for bulin priority

[narrow arch]

Ah I see

Very unfortunate

[clear harbor]

People typically recommend using UR Bulin on non-permanent URs.

[ivory pawn]

Well once she’s MLB sure throw her in the bossing fleet.

[narrow arch]

Welp that sucks, guess ill just throw all the MLB into impla

[ivory pawn]

If it’s just one bulin and a favorite ship I don’t see the harm tbh.

[clear harbor]

Oh fair.

[narrow arch]

Like, even with her being powercrept shes still a fairly strong UR isnt she?

[clear harbor]

But I was going to say, if this is your first copy of NJ, and you're using Pity to MLB her, it might be a while.

[sweet delta]

I'm pretty sure they mean they have 3 UR bulins, not a 2 lb NJ

[sweet delta]

No, she's bottom of UR BBs

[narrow arch]

This

[sweet delta]

Idk if implacable is your best investment either, show all of your URs

[narrow arch]

Funny you should say that.

[clear harbor]

Guam and Laffey II are soonish, too, right?

[sweet delta]

Max implacable then

[narrow arch]

Do they ever go back and buff old ships that get powercrept?

[sweet delta]

I can count on one hand the number of times they've buffed old ships directly instead of through retrofits or augments, and my hand has one finger

[ivory pawn]

Tldr pray for first UR aug.

[narrow arch]

Man, and to think I was so excited to get my favorite ship

[ivory pawn]

But uh don’t get your hopes up.

[sweet delta]

Also don't use your UR bulins unless you have enough to max one ship at once. And when you do have enough, ask here with a picture of all your URs

If you want to use your favorite ship for a little suboptimal bulin usage, then nobody's stopping you

[narrow arch]

Well the problem is I thought she was good lol

Out of the UR pity that you get are any of them actually good and should I prioritize picking one?

[viscid swift]

Musashi

[narrow arch]

Oh that works out perfectly because I wanted her anyway

Ty guys imma go MLB impla now

[wooden osprey]

thank you ma man

[sharp bear]

dumb question, Lexington II doesn't have a cross fleet barrage does she?

[light trail]

would bis2 be better/worse/similar with alsace/lion for heavy/medium abyssal sirens over vanny? vanguard is agir/helena/ply

[undone plover]

I dont think she does
Unless I am missing sth

[undone plover]

She is on Alsace level
More utility cause of her blackhole
Worse than lion

[light trail]

sorry i forgot to put the person she'd be replacing, which would be vanguard

is her black hole > vanguard damage up

[undone plover]

On average probably does better yeah
Vangaurd is faster so can hit 4 salvo easier in meta fights but u asked about opsi so shouldnt matter much there

[sharp bear]

are there other URs that don't have a cross fleet barrage? I feel like this is the first UR from my memory not having a cross fleet barrage

[clear harbor]

What tool is this?
Nevermind, figured it out!

[light trail]

so kinda up to whatever i wanna do (for opsi)?

[undone plover]

First gacha UR to not have it I believe
I think some previous shop UR didnt have x fleet

[undone plover]

Pretty much
Opsi isnt that hard except hard arbiter

[sweet delta]

Hakuhou is the first gacha UR without crossfleet

[undone plover]

Oh
Her too

[inland shoal]

That is one harsh bot command

[undone plover]

There is a more detailed page in the calc if u can find it for more explanation of jamming

The tldr is some ships especially BB push each other a bit if they are too close in sync
But those with +1 capacity like lion and alsace are less affected

[sullen dew]

Why are Heinrich, Adalbert, and Friedrich Carl able to equip Gouden the CB main gun from PR 8?

[undone plover]

#Justkmsthings

sth sth history
Cheeky can explain it when he is back

[soft raft]

Deutschland class and P class ships (along with Gouden) can equip Gouden gun and the Triple 283mm (SK C/28)

And all 3 ships you listed are part of the P Class

[onyx flame]

mostly cause their class of ship was planned to be equipped with 283mm guns

[undone plover]

I think they were called pocket battleships

[whole crypt]

ok wtf 14-3 is a cakewalk compared to 14-4

[sweet delta]

Then change the helldiver, breguet, and triple 155

The fleet could use 5 hvarcats, so put the bfg in the weakestslot which is Yorkii first slot

[light trail]

but i have 4 hvarcats rn, couldnt i just replace it?

oh wait that goes in yorkii third slot

[stark quiver]

hvar

[light trail]

what do i change breguet and 155 to

[stark quiver]

this probably works

swap hvar and 109g position on implacable

oh you have two ad1s

[light trail]

is vit2 really best there

i could make it, i have the prints

[stark quiver]

this is cursed but yeah

[undone plover]

Why cursed
Looks good
Can u not use 4th hvar on plac?

[remote yarrow]

Are Flares still bait in W14H

[clear harbor]

How long are Meta fights? 80s?

[undone plover]

Oh 4 used already I am blind

[gray aurora]

Do I just build 2 of these? (I got 2 so far)
Or do I save those UR prints for something else. I know those are quite rare

[remote yarrow]

I'm wondering if I should craft something just for the sake of it I have 15 UR Ords

[stark quiver]

how do you do that

[remote yarrow]

Do what

[forest palm]

cropping

[stark quiver]

the vertical view

[forest palm]

that's clearly cropped

[remote yarrow]

I combine images with ShareX

[clear harbor]

If my Main fleet is Raff, BisZ, and Lion, it is important for Raf to fire first? Or can I rely on the vanguard to proc Jet-Black?

[stark quiver]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab
you can, its not a bad craft if you arent a new player
you can also get it from protocore shop btw

[remote yarrow]

And like Taz said, look at the top right side, there's a white filling

[stark quiver]

i dont think itll matter that much

[gray aurora]

Im not new
I just dont know what got added exactly and what else needs those special UR prints

I dont wanna use them all to then later regret it

[undone plover]

Next lab update is in 6 months
U could build more ply guns

Technically if u are not sure better save
Maybe they add something busted that costs ords

Income is around 3-4 UR ord per month so not that great

[stark quiver]

if i cant lethal full clear 14-4h
does that make me bad playr

[clear harbor]

I fell victim to small sample size. I had like two test meta runs where I did better damage with raf firing first and thought that was important.

[remote yarrow]

I lost to RNG and BB Fleets spawned when I was out of Ammo

[undone plover]

Most BB rng between 100k dmg per fight
So same bb can do 250k or 350k dmg and nothing changes
Dont read too much into it

[gray aurora]

Damn I feels like its much lower
Iirc you get one from arbiter and one from the shop

[stark quiver]

my fleets were too weak smh

Back to pvp i play

[white agate]

i think they excange their gold ones for ur ordinances

[remote yarrow]

I mean, the only reason to full clear is for the Gold prints which I doubt you need and bragging rights

I just wanna clear 14-4 to cope for New Orleans

[gray aurora]

Oh wow I didnt knew/forgot you could do that
i guess Im fine then

[stark quiver]

wtgf

[undone plover]

1 from shop and that is it
But u also get like 12-15 T2 which u can up-convert

[light trail]

so is this good, or is the next one better? i can make either one

[gray aurora]

Time to get alllll the ply guns

[remote yarrow]

1:8 conversion rate tho

[stark quiver]

use this @light trail

[undone plover]

All these boomers flexing smh

[remote yarrow]

[stark quiver]

how much do you have then faerlein

[light trail]

wait is ply gun in gear lab

[stark quiver]

yea

[light trail]

fuck, i JUST made 2 ur guns

WAIT THIS USES ORDINANCES NOT PRINTS

[undone plover]

[stark quiver]

bro

[light trail]

i can make so many ply guns (1 rn)

[remote yarrow]

gameplay-flex I'm part of the problem

[hardy anchor]

Is there any analysis on the rainbow G7E submarine torps?

[remote yarrow]

Not that I'm aware of

[light trail]

i KNEW these rainbow ordinances would be great

thank goodness i didnt waste em on tenrais

[forest palm]

far as I've gathered not that large of an improvement, the 95 kai still maybe better, ultimately if you already have an established loadout it's not going to be worth moving over to the UR G7e

[stark quiver]

is there a way to adjust position like the sortie screen

[remote yarrow]

N

[forest palm]

you just go to the fleet screen

[remote yarrow]

Well, that but not in this screen sadly

[undone plover]

u can also do it in the map but turn off fleet lock
altho idt it saves it in the actual fleet
probably just for that run

[ebon storm]

Guys how good is lexigton 2 compared to the other ur carriers?

[tulip tinsel]

goog at light

[undone plover]

light dmg specialist
probably best light dmg CV
but she is no Lion

vs fritz dps according to suchi

[clear harbor]

Is there anything I can do to get four BB Salvos off in a meta fight other than equip radars? The best I can seem to do is 3.00 – 3.67 Salvos depending on who has what gun.

[remote yarrow]

-# 67

[ivory pawn]

BB RLD tech, Oaths if rich.

[undone plover]

more RLD tech but that means long term grind
shorterm autoloader might do the trick

[clear harbor]

Would it be worth dropping White shell for Auto Loader? Maybe if it means going from 3 to 4?

[remote yarrow]

If it guarantees a 4th salvo sure

[undone plover]

that gun combo is a bit wack tho ngl

[remote yarrow]

Actually true, what even is that for? Anti Med?

[clear harbor]

oh, those are just my best guns...the only other thing of note I have right now is a handful of purple 406s

[undone plover]

seems to be since raf gun is doodoo in anything else

[undone plover]

purple 406 might be better than raf vs light armor tho

[clear harbor]

Make sense. I'm working on Yorktown Meta and Kirov Meta. So 406 would be better for Kirov.

[patent pivot]

Im running new sub torp tests once I bully my resident sub nerd into getting me comps

[clear harbor]

Oh, n/m. I don't use raff gun for Kirov. I've been using Saratoga instead of a third BB

[undone plover]

boomer tech

[clear harbor]

Lol. I've tried a few other strategies, but nothing seems to beat just saturation bombing the heck out of the screen.

[white agate]

anyway, datamine ban has been unlifted?

so the ban is now only on servers simulating with datamines?

[undone plover]

it should be in the pin but also careful with unannounced stuff like story and characters but that was always a thing I believe

[boreal wagon]

it kind of was an unwritten (though technically written) rule before as well

[white agate]

basically thing went to how they were before the 18th attack?

[undone plover]

more or less yes at least as far as this channel is concerned

[eternal grove]

new rainbow sub torps BIS?

[remote yarrow]

Wait for testing ™

[haughty pivot]

what can i do with copy of Ultra Rare Ships?

[undone plover]

limit break > keep for flex > retire

[haughty pivot]

when i tried to limitbreak like it wanted me to type some type of code to submit and i got scared like "am i doing something wrong?" lol

[remote yarrow]

No, that's how it works for URs

[haughty pivot]

didnt knew my first time having a UR copy

how do i increase affinity?

[undone plover]

like smootie said that is just a precaution
use it to limit break it is fine

affinity increases with battles
so just sortie them
and secretary first slot on the left

[clear harbor]

You should get enough affinity from just sortieing and leveling them from level 80.

[undone plover]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Affinity

[forest palm]

dorm also gives affinity although at a very small rate

[haughty pivot]

the ship is at dorm, 97 lvl and on my main fleet

nothing more to do ig

[clear harbor]

Even level 97 is probably fine. I'm just not really sure what the exact cutoff is. Just keeping using them normally and you should be good.

[haughty pivot]

lets see thanks for the advices

[white agate]

main secretary position is only till 80 affinity right? same for oathed ships right?

[stark quiver]

90

[undone plover]

yeah oathed first slot doesnt do anything i think

well atm it will cause of the blessing

[haughty pivot]

secretary doesnt gives any affinity when its more then 90?

[forest palm]

normally, yes

certain events can break that

[white agate]

ngl, i always assumed affinity capped at 80 for secretaries

[haughty pivot]

and how do i open SP part for the event?

[white agate]

then you need to sortie, was it always 90?

[wanton spear]

is tehre any reason to do W14/ W15 after you clear them?

[white agate]

ship drops, gems for 3 starring

[ivory pawn]

Clear D3, aka Hard Mode of B3.

[wanton spear]

are there any good ships worth grinding for

they don't seem all that special

[white agate]

there are ships you won't get anywhere else

so if you want 100% your collection you kinda need to grind there till you get them

[wanton spear]

after that theres no point right

[undone plover]

from maps usually no
in shipyard yes

[remote yarrow]

Beat D3, aka B3 hard mode

[haughty pivot]

oops my fleet is too weak

[white agate]

being at 77k event points and 33/50 HVAR prints feels a bit of a scam

also forgot to put one of the ship i was farming in the dorm so gotta wait till she recovers

[stuck dragon]

is there a way to automate daily missions in op.siren? strategic search doesnt work good

[white agate]

no

[clear harbor]

Oh, she probably pretty mad at you now, huh?

[white agate]

only way you can really use is click the mission tab, and go to the mission from there; then you let autosortie do its work and then you reiterate

[ivory pawn]

Just go to zone, request recon if needed, then autosearch. Then repeat.

[white agate]

if the mission happens to be on the port you need to manually tap autobattle too

[white agate]

no, sortening stops when at 1 mood, only barbarians would remove the safe setting

[stuck dragon]

thanks. really hope they rework op.siren sometimes in the future

[forest palm]

the load screen they changed to William used to be Foote, ye?

[narrow arch]

Is porter good, just a quick question

[vale spindle]

no i think it was wdp but a beta design

[soft raft]

If you mean the loading bar chibi, that was always Porter from the start

[vale spindle]

yes modern rainbow good for the most part

[narrow arch]

Alr

[forest palm]

[proper violet]

Is there a place for lex 2 skin interactions?

Like where to press

[white agate]

ayaya1004 look their profile up

[strange sphinx]

[errant jacinth]

does anyone know how many opsi campaign chapters there are? I'm on 4-3 rn

[viscid swift]

5

[errant jacinth]

omg I'm almost done!

[ivory pawn]

4 is also the most important to clear, so you're even closer than you think.

5 just unlocks Arbiter. Which is still important but not as important, ya know?

[errant jacinth]

does it ever unlock a better auto-clear? cause rn it just stops halfway through a zone

[ivory pawn]

Tap Orders > Request Recon.

That'll clear the fog of war, which is usually what stops you halfway through a zone.

If you clear chapter 4, you'll get the option to buy some stuff next month that automatically clears said fog of war for a month.

[proper violet]

Look where?

[narrow arch]

Whats the command to get the gear tierlist

[wooden osprey]

maybe after oathing she won't get mad? like affinity -200 she still cool?

[proper violet]

When I get pity pick should I go with York 2 or is goonermaxing with shinano ok?

[narrow arch]

You can get negative affinity??

[quartz lintel]

Should I change out any members or keep on going as is?

[wooden osprey]

I'm exaggerating, not sure if minus affinity is possible

[soft raft]

Stick with your current fleet for the time being
also swap Helena and Javelin around

[quartz lintel]

Any particular reason for the switch? Trying to understand the logic

[sweet delta]

1. Do you have Essex retrofit item?
2. Are you pulling for Lexington II and Cowpens?
3. Do you have Kaguya Yuzuru 's unique augment?

[soft raft]

Middle slot is where the squishiest ship goes
Javelin is a DD which is the most squishy hulltype, and she is also a whole 20 lvls lower than Helena

[quartz lintel]

Right now, no to all.

[sweet delta]

I think you should make #2 a yes

[proper violet]

2 should be yes

[quartz lintel]

Can do

[errant jacinth]

is cowpens good?

[proper violet]

Me doing dailies got me like 3 Lex 2

[errant jacinth]

I have MLB Lex 2 but nobody else from that banner

[light trail]

why do i keep getting ur torpedo prints....will these ever be useful

[soft raft]

Yuh
Good secondary healer

[proper violet]

Cowpens like aquila

[light trail]

when gold quad mags are so good and the event quad mags are even better, what's the point of rainbow mag torps

[proper violet]

But more for dmg I feel like

[soft raft]

There's the new UR sub torp tho that's fairly niche

[errant jacinth]

ohhh is it worth pulling her then? even if I have MLB of the UR?

[light trail]

yeah but that's a sub torp...

[errant jacinth]

I have 400 cubes as well

[proper violet]

400 .-.

[errant jacinth]

I started a month ago so it's still really easy for me to get stuff lol

[soft raft]

Yes if you dont have Aquila, Volga, or Zuihou
tho idk what LexII's limit breaks have to do with this when you shouldnt specifically be pulling for dupes anyways

[proper violet]

I only pull event for daily since gambling, and been payin off so far lmao

[errant jacinth]

isn't cowpens on Lexi's banner? I'm just worried about getting another Lexi and having it be useless cause she's already MLB

[soft raft]

Dont worry about that too much
just scrap the dupe, no biggie

[errant jacinth]

do I get anything for scrapping a UR? like cubes back or smth?

[proper violet]

You get medal

[soft raft]

medal and coin like usual and 500 specialized core

[errant jacinth]

ohhh so nothing super special D:

[narrow arch]

Question, what happened to the old picture tier list that had all of the gear and the best side gears as well

Like the Type whatever Ap shell for AP bbs

[soft raft]

Sam's gear guide?

[proper violet]

On the UR choice when you spent 400 cubes, york 2 is better than shinano big time? Esp when you got lex 2?

[sweet delta]

Only if you got Lexii and not Amagi or Hakuhou

[narrow arch]

I think so

[soft raft]

It's prob still being updated reguarlly, but multiple complaints about it being difficult to read/a general unwillingness to read led to the creation of the quick gear guide

[proper violet]

But got shinano skin since I know I am getting shinano 100% eventually

[light trail]

how can i improve my carriers' gear

timing adjusters?

[soft raft]

Why Nagato 💀

[quasi nymph]

what is the username of the person who made a skin guide spreadsheet ?

[sweet delta]

With no further information about the boss or vanguard, this looks fine already

[stark quiver]

@rain bobcat

[light trail]

i heard here she's optimal

[soft raft]

wrong reply lol

[quasi nymph]

wrong ping i guess ?

[light trail]

okok (heavy opsi boss, eld/kaza/traf)

[light trail]

oh yeah oops

[light trail]

@soft raft

[quasi nymph]

gg

[real parrot]

Are there any of these SRs that are REALLY worth limitbreaking (I need to clear out some of my gold bulins)

[sweet delta]

Then slow down Nagato so she doesn't waste eldridge's slow before the CVs even launch

[errant jacinth]

I got cowpens in 55, is anyone else here good?

[light trail]

i think indom and maybe jeanne, but i think it also depends on which URs you have

[proper violet]

Kurumi real cool

[quasi nymph]

chapayev with her augments

good for light armor if i remember correctly

[sweet delta]

Kurumi and Cowpens

[real parrot]

Yeah I was thinking of Kurumi

[light trail]

how would i do this? different gun?

[proper violet]

Yeah cowpens also w

[real parrot]

These

[quasi nymph]

wait why is warspite not retrofited

[soft raft]

Because not really worth it

[sweet delta]

Yes, and remove radar

[light trail]

wouldnt that be a waste of resources

[soft raft]

end prodcut after retrofit + unique aug is congrats, you have a NJ tier BB

[quasi nymph]

nah good ship

[real parrot]

I was lazy

[light trail]

i think you're trolling so i'll just stop here lol

[quasi nymph]

bro you seriously think warspite is still bad ?

[slender turtle]

Warspite retro is not worth the resources

[proper violet]

It's better than a SR so worth I guess in that case

[real parrot]

I’ll retro her at some point because now she’s just level 1 it’s a lot of hassle

[proper violet]

But the retrofit resources are annoying to get

[light trail]

when there's anyone else to use idk how you can justify spending so many resources on a new color

[proper violet]

The argument isnt warspite bad, just not good enough for the resources.

If you got lots o resources, def worth

But that is if you got lots of it

[light trail]

all she does is single target shelling damage right? you can get that and more and stronger from a lot of other ships that are cheaper to get to max power

[slender turtle]

Would rather have an oumi instead of warspite most the time tbh lol

Especially for the resource cost lol

[light trail]

doesnt even owari beat her? from what i hear at least

[proper violet]

I just use owari so far

[errant jacinth]

even joffre is bad? damn I thought most SR would be good at MLB 😭

[light trail]

joffre kinda bad ngl. sexy but meh in practice

[proper violet]

Def gooner maxed, but not meta maxed

[slender turtle]

Owari is also really good, oumi is just a bit better. Warspite only really shines in pvp and boss fights against dds

[errant jacinth]

oh well I'm just happy to get cowpens in 55
back to saving :D

[slender turtle]

Which is still not even close to worth the investment cost

[proper violet]

Yeah cowpens is w

[narrow arch]

How do you get proto cores

[slender turtle]

Playing the game and from the medal shop

[narrow arch]

Im close to the type 1 ap shell

[slender turtle]

O

You mean the print ones

[hollow gust]

spite still better then nj

[quartz lintel]

Are there any gray ranked ships worth keeping or can I retire all of them to make space in the dock?

[quasi nymph]

retrofit resources are easy to get bro

[proper violet]

I think ranger had some use

[quasi nymph]

i am like a fairly new and casual player

[proper violet]

But not really other than maxing them for rewards

[errant jacinth]

rlly? including essex? cause I have the san diego one rn
