[real parrot]

What about the t3 parts

[quasi nymph]

still have this much in stock

[sweet delta]

yeah fucking right "new player" with URs from 2 years ago telling "other" new players to retrofit a Warspite who'll be largely useless

[quasi nymph]

daily rng plus guild tokens,events and medal shop

[real parrot]

Parts I meant, not blueprints or whatever they’re called

[real parrot]

Feels slow to me though

[quasi nymph]

i retrofitted my warspite when i was new as well

[proper violet]

It's slow, but steady so if you played long enough it's free af

[slender turtle]

The problem is you are spending cores on a ship that isn’t that useful when it could have been spent on a bulin for a uselful ur

[proper violet]

But if you are new, and need the resources for shipyard fx

[slender turtle]

And like 90k coins

[proper violet]

It's gonna be jarring

[undone sluice]

road to 125

[quasi nymph]

lol

[undone sluice]

😎

[quasi nymph]

that reminds me , which ur should i limit break next ? yorktown 2 or bismarck 2

have 2 bulins to spare

[hollow gust]

[real parrot]

Bismarck Zwei

[slender turtle]

Probably biz zwei since you have vanguard and lion already mlb. You have nobody to pair with yorktown rn

[barren quarry]

GUYS RAINBOW BOX IS IN CORE LTD.
WHAT WAS RAINBOW BOX USED FOR AGAIN?

[quasi nymph]

ngl my lion is doing worse then warspite right now by like 50k dmg

[soft raft]

It's a UR version of the HSFCR

[barren quarry]

o

[soft raft]

Also is your caps lock on or something

[slender turtle]

Im not not even sure how you are managing that, lion is the highest dmg bb in the game

[barren quarry]

ya

[quasi nymph]

yorktown does pairs up with entreprise , essex and lexington right ? or some extra specific vanguard support is also needed

[slender turtle]

I mean yes, but i think the BBs are more useful than the CVs

[errant jacinth]

btw is there a tier list for ships? I've been using this one but it seems pretty outdated

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/ca

[slender turtle]

Unless you have a bunch of LA9s sitting around somehow

[soft raft]

There's this, but it's for lategame content as the title would suggest
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[slender turtle]

And you already have lion and vanguard mlb, which are a good pairing with biz zwei

[errant jacinth]

what level would I need to be at for endgame to matter? cause I'm lvl 75 rn

[quasi nymph]

what are la 9s ? best i can do is a bunch of vits and hvars maybe

[slender turtle]

They are the pr7 ur ship, really good for medium armor. But you need like 4 or 5 to for the lex,kear, yk2 team. BBs just require less gear for light/medium armor atm

[soft raft]

Whenever you start tackling W13 (and beyond) and the more difficult parts of Operation Siren

Commander level doesnt really mean much outside of gating you from acessing some content

[verbal plinth]

Getting max for canteen is good to do idr what lvl

[young otter]

So if I was going to craft a UR 100mm Kai, which ship will it be more useful on, Laffey 2 or San Diego (Retrofit)?

[sweet delta]

depends whether you have the other rainbow DD gun

[icy bridge]

Help with 2nd team

[sweet delta]

san diego could use the 100 kai better

[digital hollow]

okay I need extremely sweaty nerd youtube channel that analyze and update regarding meta in PVP/META showdown/PVE. Drop your channels here (or my DM if this server doesn't allow it)

my favorite AL channel gone missing

[scenic mesa]

Is this a good item? Which ships use this for great effect?

[digital hollow]

Any your BB. Prioritize the strongest one

[scenic mesa]

Wait so white/black shell+this item?

[digital hollow]

Usually white shell and that

Black shell is basically 4th option these days

[young otter]

I do not.

[scenic mesa]

Replace the black shell?

[digital hollow]

Yes. BB standard loadout aux these days basically like

White shell (or Yellow for HMS mobbing/PVP)->Rainbow fire control->Yellow fire control->Black shell

[digital hollow]

Bumping this post

[young otter]

Ok so then, say, for example (Since I don't have any other UR DD guns)

San Diego: 100mm Kai
Laffey 2: 114mm MK. IV (MK 4)

Is that better/will that work?

[deep cypress]

Can we share channels here?

[digital hollow]

idk but if you want to safe just dm me

[deep cypress]

Do you know some guy named Suchiguma? He's good.

[sweet delta]

i have heard of him

[sweet delta]

pick up one of these from gear lab for laffii

[young otter]

Got it. Thx.

[sweet delta]

JimmyAL and Suchiguma are the only channels who understand PvE.
I have no idea about the PvP. You can check the pinned sheet in #pvp

[deep cypress]

Jimmy is pretty sweaty too. Thjey both have their tier list.

[white agate]

man did self ads

[digital hollow]

So far I only have essex ranch's sheet though

but thanks for sharing your channel

[slender turtle]

In suchi we trust

[narrow arch]

How do you get core data besides battles

[viscid swift]

your only way is campaign hard mode

[stark quiver]

quyet is dead 😭

[narrow arch]

Unfortunate

[viscid swift]

good

[white agate]

who?

[stark quiver]

ther arent any good pvp ytbers that i know of

[stark quiver]

quyet nguyen

[white agate]

i still don't understand

[stark quiver]

he was a azur lane youtuber that recently went poof

[digital hollow]

Yeah that's why i am asking

Been good source of my pve stuff since then

[stark quiver]

i vouch that the youtuber named suchiguma is better

[digital hollow]

yeah dude been self promoted himself to me 😂 and I take that. Instant subscribe

[forest palm]

Quyet and good source does not compute

J3C and Quyet are gone just one more to go

[rain bobcat]

🧀

[safe wagon]

how do i get the pretty ships? i just started playing

[sweet delta]

Which ships are pretty?

[safe wagon]

Richelieu

[sweet delta]

Do this event

[safe wagon]

okay, thank you!

[proper violet]

Do I need a second helena?

[rain bobcat]

no

[proper violet]

Ty

[rain bobcat]

in fact you will never need a second anything

[proper violet]

Ight bet, someone once told me I should have a second one for some reaon

But forgor why

[hollow gust]

dont even need 1 these days why are people bothering with 2

[stark quiver]

I have 2 helenas

[hollow gust]

helmet doesnt count

[stark quiver]

i havea lvl 1 helena

[rain bobcat]

indep carry is crazy on w15

[torpid zenith]

There's a dialogue question i wanna ask but im very shy to say it

[stark quiver]

[torpid zenith]

So I am looking at the wiki for certain shipgirls for their pre and after oathing but bc im using the wiki idk their expressions. Some lines I can tell the intention/meaning but others i have trouble with

So I wanna ask if anybody knows the expressions of certain shipgirls for their oathing/ex lines

[narrow arch]

Whats my best bet here for an actual dedicated hard mode BB because I cant use Hood due to her being a BC I guess

Everyone besides new jersey can be MLB rn

[soft raft]

Arent there quote compliation vids on youtube you could watch instead

[torpid zenith]

Yeah but unfortunately some are either extremely difficult to find or just straight up dont exist

[viscid swift]

dare I ask which ships you're looking for?

[viscid swift]

get Maryland from the guild shop and retrofit her

[narrow arch]

Kk

[torpid zenith]

For now I'll just do 1 cause I'm very shy for asking this but I want to see/know Daisen oath lines

[narrow arch]

Thats so annoying I traded her for medals today 😭 I wouldn't have to spend more guild coins if I would have just kept her lol

[viscid swift]

you'll have to oath her and see for youself I'm afraid

[stark quiver]

https://youtu.be/PIExUjwSiaI?si=De8bLerapFOY_mnF
does this help

[viscid swift]

I also found this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Niw_J_rHSjw

just typed Daisen oath into youtube

[torpid zenith]

THIS

[torpid zenith]

Thank you so very much

Ngl that special touch oath line is crazy she into some tying stuff lol

Again thank you very much

[hollow gust]

whats the sync for hakuhou amagi implacable

[stuck dragon]

i get soon a 4th ur bullin, any recommendation who i should lb first?

[true zenith]

is there a limit to the number of dr/pr prints you can get from catchup research?

[ivory pawn]

300 among all PRs, 150 per DR, per season.

So you can get like 300 Anchorage, 150 Aegir, 150 Haku, 200 Roon, and 100 Monarch or something like that.

[digital hollow]

Lexington I'd say

[soft raft]

No lol

[viscid swift]

difficult to say

[soft raft]

Musashi is right there

[digital hollow]

My order
Lexington- Unzen-> Musashi -> Shimakaze > Ulrich -> Shinano -> Williams D' Porter -> Hakuhou -> I-404

[viscid swift]

what

[ivory pawn]

Best limited options are reliant on other URs you don't have to really show their strengths, while Musashi is perma.

[viscid swift]

that's wrong on so many levels

[stuck dragon]

i kinda need another bb for my second fleet, so i was also eyeing her

[viscid swift]

Shima 4th and not dead last being chief among them

Ulrich over Shinano and Hakuhou as well

[rain bobcat]

musashi > lexington> wait for feb > hakuhou > william/unzen > i404 > don't touch permas

[soft raft]

Guam/Laffy II rerun soon too

[stuck dragon]

isnt mushashi also perma? i could redeem her in build atm

[rain bobcat]

oh right I keep forgetting lmao

[viscid swift]

meh, not like they change that much

[rain bobcat]

I mean all it does is put guam above william

[viscid swift]

does it?

[rain bobcat]

eh Ig it won't matter since guam wont be giga useful til 15 again

would still be willy/unzen> laffii/guam > i404

[viscid swift]

still evaluating where I sit on her

[rain bobcat]

guams AB is generic isn't it

[viscid swift]

honestley there is a much simpler strat to this

[stuck dragon]

someone also told me that ulrich is the worst bb ur atm, does that still hold true?

[viscid swift]

level every UR to 120 at 0 LB, bank enough XP to get them to 125 if you so desire, max their skills, and wait until one becomes immediately useful and obviously useful, then commit the bullins

[viscid swift]

yes

[stuck dragon]

i kinda need some strong ships to finish my 2nd fleet, so that isnt an option atm.

[hollow gust]

hakuhou too slow isnt she

[viscid swift]

you don't need URs to clear through to W12

[viscid swift]

it is acceptable, just

[rain bobcat]

it's fine

[stuck dragon]

im at chapter 13 atm

[viscid swift]

what other options have you got then

[rain bobcat]

preferably atleast 0.05s faster but it's not broken type of slow

[hollow gust]

i wonder if i can improve it, problem is amagi is too fast

[forest palm]

manjuu exists

[viscid swift]

Tenrai instead of La-9 on Amagi could help with that

[hollow gust]

isnt tenrai just worst

[viscid swift]

no, they're pretty similar damage wise, against heavy anyway

[hollow gust]

wait im fucking stupid, ill just use junker instead of ryuu in first slot

[viscid swift]

you'll lose 10% AVI stat

[rain bobcat]

no you need sakura on first

[stuck dragon]

are the ships on the ur exchange not permanent? and if yes, where can i see how long there are obtainable?

[viscid swift]

they are permanent

[rain bobcat]

might be best you can do?

[viscid swift]

ships only get added

[rain bobcat]

otherwise you will have to play with manjuu timings

[hollow gust]

thats always a damage loss

[rain bobcat]

that's the tightest I can get it I think

[stuck dragon]

so is mushashi one of the better flagship bb? or should i wait to lb her

[viscid swift]

you should be using Perma pity to get dupes for Musashi right now

you really don't need 2 BBs for W13 though

triple CV mob fleet is a safer bet in W13

[hollow gust]

oh well ill just use tenrai

[viscid swift]

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

[stuck dragon]

no? should i use only cv for my 2nd fleet? feels kinda wrong

[sweet delta]

I could use a unicorn, an independence, a Cowpens, a BB, and two randoms for 13

[viscid swift]

give the chapter 13 section of the progression guide a read if you want to know why that is

[stuck dragon]

so i would then either lb hakuhou, william (only have shimi as DD rn) or unzen if i understand correctly. im leaning towards haku?

[viscid swift]

well for one don't generalize capabilties by hull type

[stuck dragon]

enti and independe and unicorn are my other up do date ships for the backline atm

[viscid swift]

and if you had to limit break one ship I'd reccomend Lexington 2 or Hakuhou

[rain bobcat]

anyway, this order is quite fine. only use bulin on musashi if severely lacking on BB which I doubt you are since you have mlb new jersey

this means, probably mlb lexington, and use pity for musashi dupes on perma banner

afterwards you could wait for the febuary UR since it could be a double event

[stuck dragon]

alr thanks. i go with lexington and then exchange musashi

is another DD like william needed later since i already got shimi? or is 1 sufficient

[viscid swift]

again, don't generalize capabilties by hull type

[rain bobcat]

they do completely different things

[viscid swift]

best to look at ships on their individual merits, especially vanguards

[rain bobcat]

just because some ships are the same hull doesn't mean they do the same thing

that's like saying independence isn't needed since you have unicorn

[soft raft]

^
Shimakaze is purely Torp DPS while Porter does a whole bunch of other stuff that isnt having mega stonks DPS

[stuck dragon]

so it would be the best if i min max through their abilities then sort by hull type. guess i played it wrong the whole time :D

[south sequoia]

do yall think crafting plygun is worth the cost? its way less costy than I thought

[viscid swift]

only if you have ordinance reports to spare

[rain bobcat]

if you have ordinance to spare yeah go ahead. it's cheap

[south sequoia]

any other rainbow ord gear to grab?

[rain bobcat]

tenrai, drek gun, NJ gun, are ord gear iirc

[viscid swift]

well we put the Plymouth gun at C tier for new SKK in the gear lab guide

[south sequoia]

oh sadge

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab

[slow fox]

Remember when I gathered data for 15-4?

-# Should I do the same for 14-4?
-# 14-4H?
-# 13-4H?
-# 13-4?

[viscid swift]

I think for 13-4H it would be unecessary

14-4H would be interesting though

if possible, could you also do main fleets as well as vanguards

[rain bobcat]

13-4H is just 15 lite

[slow fox]

rare main fleet eHP application

I'm gonna get that stuff down to Safe first

-# What about 14-4

[frozen stag]

Between golden leeuw and Plymouth who do I go after first, I have ships to get exp for golden but I have 0 good hms ships to lvl with for Plymouth and I heard she will be coinable soon

[rain bobcat]

unless you have enough BPs rn to 25 gouden leeuw or higher, just do plymouth in prep for coining

[undone plover]

is it heresy to suggest ditching uni in 14h
my backline seems to be struggling the most and i feel like after the initial heal she does nothing for that

[slow fox]

Raffaelo :mutsukiffaelo:

[rain bobcat]

raffa aquila is quite nice

[viscid swift]

remind me what were you running again?

[undone plover]

raffa uni zuihou z52 sandy eldridge

[noble pawn]

would it wise just to wait for coining plymouth than exchange BP for her?

[viscid swift]

could try a rudder on whoever is in the topmost position

[rain bobcat]

of course, lol

[undone plover]

raffa and zuihou on fire extinguisher

but they still struggle
unless i babysit the rng

also for some reason my dumb ships arent killing the topside BB that spawn

[viscid swift]

that's pretty normal

[undone plover]

it is spamming like 2 shells per sec

some will land no matter what

[viscid swift]

you kinda just have to tank the hit

[undone plover]

maybe full dps vanguard is the better option

[viscid swift]

and try to avoid getting revealed at all costs

[undone plover]

did anyone try napoli unzen + eldridge or sth like that

[viscid swift]

Napoli doesn't really do much

[rain bobcat]

noshiro bayard is allegedly quite insane here

[undone plover]

oscar is saving me with the 13% procs 😭

[viscid swift]

allegedly being the key word

[rain bobcat]

noshiro highs are very high, but the lows are catastrophically low

[undone plover]

maybe i just need more 125s and +13s

[viscid swift]

how many 120s are you running....

[undone plover]

only zuihou and sandy

honestly i feel like edridge is doing nothing

[viscid swift]

if you're just doing normal clears should be fine

[undone plover]

i am just resetting for good rng atp

[sweet delta]

Uni Zuihou is like Eugen

[viscid swift]

honestley my best advice would be just pay attention to what's revealing you

[undone plover]

i am lacking dmg
that is the main thing
and rng suicide and planes can reveal me if the vanguard decides to run it down

[viscid swift]

oh wait you're running Raff as your BB yeah

at that point try Independence or someone over Zuiho

[undone plover]

yeah perhaps

[rain bobcat]

wait coinable ply comes before fate

I can convert my 500 BPs

[viscid swift]

well so did Agir

[undone plover]

6 La9 gang soon

[viscid swift]

and you don't need to FS a ship to convert the BPs even if a ship has a FS so long as they are dev 30

[rain bobcat]

yeah, I was just holding to see if anyone gets FS before coin in DR5. Guess im converting everything

[sweet delta]

Wtf I only have 4

[viscid swift]

I have 5

[undone plover]

100 prints in depot

it is just the topside BB cheeky
if it dies all good
if not i am cooked

it spams like 25 shells before it dies

[viscid swift]

that's why running converging TBs on the slower CV was a strat

[undone plover]

breguet zuihou was a wrong choice

[rain bobcat]

run converging and rockets on the slower CV

[viscid swift]

well, not Bf-109G

[undone plover]

5 rotations for it to die

as in 5 separate backline rotations not 5x3

doable?

[rain bobcat]

maybe

[viscid swift]

wait fuck, we forgot to add William D to the list of Pea Shooter users

[undone plover]

tbh I do have this fleet 2
idk if this can manage the boss tho

[rain bobcat]

you dont need to do that for the all enemy star btw

[undone plover]

ik
it is a personal challenge kinda thing

[viscid swift]

you have 2 BBs nodes left to do, I'd say you're dead

[undone plover]

they are 2 star

i will try the lion fleet i suppose

so rudder > FE for backline?

[viscid swift]

just a reminder of how much the 14-4 boss fleet can fuck you

to be determined but gut feeling so far is yeah

[undone plover]

yeah i feel like eldridge was def overkill for raffa + zuihou oh well

i am on single line and vanguard are full hp

[stark quiver]

Yea bro

[broken kayak]

man W14-4 hard is a whole world of pain

[viscid swift]

eh it's not that bad the 14-4 boss asside

[broken kayak]

the boss is the pain

this torp req sucks

brute forced it whatever

[viscid swift]

barely noticed the torp requirment

[broken kayak]

stopped being an issue when i started running ykk in mob

[sharp furnace]

Who should I limit break next?

[viscid swift]

your choice in investing in a heavy armor comp(Hakuhou) or a light armor comp(lexington 2)

[undone plover]

is 2 star BB worse than recon 3 star cheeky

[viscid swift]

I'd say yes

[rapid shard]

Same reload thresholds apply to her when picking between 113 and 76 right?

[viscid swift]

yes

[rapid shard]

Thanks. And did yall ever fully decide if shes better off with fast torps like DuoDuo or sticking with quadmags

[rain bobcat]

the quadmag thing is assumign you have high tech rld+goldburn

there's no reason not to sync her up with atleast the flagship BB shooting time

[errant jacinth]

how can I buy the dorm’s 2nd floor? I’ve already bought the 3rd slot & fully expanded the size with the decor tokens

[viscid swift]

try switching to the 2nd floor

[clear harbor]

How many of these, if any, should I keep?

[stark quiver]

0

[tawny bear]

all of them for fleet power mwahahah

i hecking love fleet power!!!!

[quiet pawn]

are map coordinates worth using?

[viscid swift]

yes

[undone plover]

cheeky so far this is performing best
not close at all
but backline very slowly dying

i think 2 BB is def the choice here
Just not sure how to heal them better

musashi dmg is cracked but raffa underperforming
is this a raffa mk4 angle
is her heal related to her rof in any way?

[stark quiver]

[viscid swift]

well I'll remind you that wave clearing and ensuring enemies die are equally as important in W14

[narrow arch]

How do you get prototype cores for the prototype shop? Im at 10 and I honestly forgot how to get them

[undone plover]

yeah this kills enemies very well
especially BB nodes
the CV just cant kill
I didnt try the converging torp tech but maybe this is better
raffa heal is very nice

[narrow arch]

I need 60 for the triple gun for my CAs

[undone plover]

doable this time ?

[narrow arch]

[undone plover]

analyze cdc packs
and excess BP

[viscid swift]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/research/#protocore_income

[wind hazel]

convert excess blueprints after ship dev30

[narrow arch]

Aha

[viscid swift]

neither CA gun is high priority

[viscid swift]

you might just have a chance

[narrow arch]

Looking at the tierlist it says theyre the best for general purpose damage so like, it'd be nice just to know how to get them eventually

[viscid swift]

I'd reccomend learning to walk before you run

[mighty tulip]

Read the guides that sushigummy recommended. Now that I have my main fleet. I was able to auto play into ch 7. I can’t do it until I reach lvl 50. What would be my best use of oil now that i’m not trying to level up both my fleet 1 and fleet 2 😅

[wind hazel]

event

[viscid swift]

grinding the event for one

[narrow arch]

I got the triple 406, I can get the Tenrai, ill start working on the 380s

[wind hazel]

why do you have fleet 2 by ch7

[mighty tulip]

Idk what I’m doing as my simple answer

I figured how do I finish a chapter if I don’t have 2 fleets to defeat all the ships

[onyx flame]

you can still fight even wit out of ammo for a fleet

[mighty tulip]

Yeah I found that out after reading the guides 💀

[dire arch]

I've been trying to get Kaga in 3-4 still didn't have her 😭😭😭

[mighty tulip]

Can I do most of the event with this fleet?

[viscid swift]

come back and grind 3-4 later when you aren't impeding your progression and you can farm them cheaply

[viscid swift]

I doubt you're gonna be able to do any hard mode maps with that

[ivory pawn]

If they were higher level and Uni was retrofitted, but you can at least farm easier zones to get exp and event rewards.

[dire arch]

I have Akagi but Kaga is only remaining.

[mighty tulip]

I have some materials after Uni becomes 70 to do her retrofit

[tawny bear]

with lvl 100, max lvl break and lv 10 skills on unicorn and cowpens u could

[mighty tulip]

I’m close

[tawny bear]

prioritize healing skills ofc

[wind hazel]

you're not close trust me. needs lv90 lol

[viscid swift]

you need her to be level 85 for her modernization node

[mighty tulip]

Sad

Okay will grind the event maps for now then

Thanks for helping a noob 🫡

[tawny bear]

keep pushing with that fleet healers are op

[mighty tulip]

I wish I knew about this discord when I started Saturday 💀

I wouldn’t be having 2 fleets 🤡

[wind hazel]

you're fine, i didnt join until a year later

🫃🏼 still got to w12 with 0lb shimakaze and dev10 saint louis

[onyx flame]

its hard to brick your account anyway

[meager zephyr]

is the current event banner good for early game

[viscid swift]

always worth pulling for URs, Cowpens would also be good to get early on

[meager zephyr]

alr uh what can i spend my oil on if im 20k over my storage? 25k/5k

cant claim anythin cuz of it

[wind hazel]

the event

go grind d3, it will go away very soon

[meager zephyr]

the a note through firmament or the island planner? i just got back after like 5 months sry

[soft raft]

the first one

Island planner is completely optional and also a complete slog for basically zero pratical benefit

[forest palm]

the affection raising consumables aren't even worth the grind...

[wind hazel]

ngl but i just do the 2 daily that gives 4k coin daily, takes like 2min to complete. can buy out the entire affection item from shop

[noble pawn]

do we need 4 of these right

[wind hazel]

not need, but want. and 5

[mighty tulip]

How do I unlock the next levels? Do I have to 3 star the A and B?

[onyx flame]

clear D3

/hardmode

[odd root]

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

[mighty tulip]

Do you think I could do C with my current main? My Vanguards were pretty beaten in B3

Or should I just 3 star A and B first?

[wind hazel]

keep doing b3. c1 is way higher level than your fleet level

give your vanguard the appropriate aux

[mighty tulip]

Oh, what aux would that be 👀

[wind hazel]

sec, im building image cache on the site

[sweet delta]

Is it updated with this event?

[wind hazel]

you might not have that many toolkit, so uh... use your highest hp gear available

[mighty tulip]

Definitely dont have that I got one toolkit 💀

[wind hazel]

understandable, very normal. just keep opening your techboxes, purple or gold or rainbow ones

craft all the tier1 and tier 2 to tier3

[tropic tusk]

craft them all?

[wind hazel]

yeah, you never want to open tier1 or 2

[stark quiver]

i open tier 1 and 2

[wind hazel]

you're not n00b

except iris and sardegna i guess, but those cannot be upcraft

[mighty tulip]

I suppose I continue to grind event B3 until the event is done or until I can start ch 7 right?

Ch 7 doesn’t open up for me until lvl 50 💀

[wind hazel]

you'll gain level while grinding b3. when you are ~75ish you can go up to C maps

you can forget about campaign for awhile, do event while you can

campaign is only more attractive when you can reach chapter 9

[sweet delta]

I need vanguard ship with the highest ACV

[viscid swift]

Halford?

[mighty tulip]

Okay cool. I’ll continue to grind my fleet1 in B3. Thanks Mori!

[viscid swift]

well well

[sweet delta]

Fubs

[bleak junco]

I should probably do this right….. working on mecky but I’ll probably get gouden some day lol. I dunno what goudens good for tho or if I’ll ever need to use her

[viscid swift]

yes, she's got good AA, damage, and is decently tanky

[bleak junco]

Okay!!!! Thanks

[sweet delta]

I think 6513 fleet AA is too high

[muted crescent]

Alright uhh… I’ve been gone for a while and I see a new UR rn. What did I miss and what should I be farming for?

[glacial widget]

Hey is there a fleet/gear comp for 14-4 hard floating around anywhere?

Or are we just using the same stuff for 14 regular

[whole crypt]

the main issue is making a viable fleet while meeting the reqs

not sure what you used for normal but it does force you to use quite a bit of torp ships

[sweet delta]

the main issue is making a viable fleet

[viscid swift]

well meeting reques isn't terribly difficult

yes, you have much less margin of error than you do in regular W14

[whole crypt]

you have to watch the screen a lot more for resets

[sweet delta]

i guess i dont need air supremacy

[whole crypt]

for 14 superiority should be fine if you want to drop a carrier

[sweet delta]

im using 4

[whole crypt]

which 4

[whole crypt]

why Perseus

[wind hazel]

crossfleet heal

[whole crypt]

are you trying to 1 fleet the whole thing

[late flame]

-# i am still not quite motivated to continue from 14-1 (normal) lol

[trim depot]

when does the event banner end?

[onyx flame]

7th jan iirc

[forest palm]

says it on the banner

[onyx flame]

Its en no reading here

[trim depot]

is there any info on the next event banner

[onyx flame]

Guam rerun next

[trim depot]

mbmb

[forest palm]

there isn't much of a roadmap since all major servers are sync'd

[trim depot]

is she recommended to pull for?

[knotty jolt]

For early on players she'd be good to pull for, for us later players she kinda got pushed out of the meta but is still strong

[late flame]

the real prize of that *event is the free laffey2

[trim depot]

im not sure if I wanna save for Guam or spend on Lexington

[knotty jolt]

I'd say guam is more universally usable then lexi

tho lexi is a backline

[viscid swift]

I'll make it easy for you, Cowpens is a really strong pick up

[onyx flame]

Ehhh we technically alr got guam at home gouden

[knotty jolt]

ye but how many got a max gouden

[whole crypt]

that's not hard

[trim depot]

I have 1 copy of her so far

[viscid swift]

it's been 6 months since PR8 released, plenty of time

[trim depot]

after around 100 pulls

[white venture]

which sub fleet is currently the best? I was stuck to wolfpack for so long that I am out of loop

[knotty jolt]

i404, archerfish, flasher

[white venture]

expanation please for arch and flasher?

[knotty jolt]

archerfish: increased oxygen meaning longer time in battle, bonus vs heavy armor which is ideal and flasher is there for the eagle union ship for buffing archer

and flasher slows enemies down making the other subs more likely to hit

[white venture]

snorkels arent needed? only PRHD and aug-torps?

[knotty jolt]

I use snorkels cause im lazy

[late flame]

[abstract oriole]

Question....is there a way I can hide the UI when rotating waifu skins on the status screen? It always hid it before but sometime before the DAL event it doesn't hide the UI anymore.

Or is this a bug?

[white venture]

thanks for u both and happy various holidays!

[whole crypt]

great now I have no oil for event

[worn quest]

Chapter 13 fleet Help

[white venture]

oh no!~~ couldnt be me too~~

[abstract oriole]

IE what's circled in red shouldn't be there

[late flame]

-# i still cant be arsed to continue from 14-1 lol

eh photoshop or crop it out

[soft raft]

have you already tried repair assets?
or it could be a desync and you'd have to force close and relaunch the game

[late flame]

-# smol indie dev and spaghetti code plz understand

[abstract oriole]

Not yet, it's been happening since the DAL event on both my iPhone and iPad

[late flame]

new to bugs?

[lean valley]

How much better is HVAR than La9 for light armors?

[knotty jolt]

Just check their armor modifiers and you'll see

[whole crypt]

timing and skill reqs aside aside per round 1056 vs 720

also not including the fact that you can +13 3 rocket cats with the plates for a La-9

[lean valley]

That implies I can get 3 hvars with my current drop rates

[whole crypt]

10 more days to go

[stark quiver]

this is 3 week event no?

[rain bobcat]

yea

[stark quiver]

theres only 10 more days?

[whole crypt]

well more like 12 ish

[sweet delta]

ez

[wanton spear]

how many UR bulins can you get per month?

[onyx flame]

2.5

[wanton spear]

is it worth waiting for better URs to limit break? or are they all worth

[onyx flame]

this accounts for spec cores and cruise pass but not ur events

[sweet delta]

5000 core from playing the game, 3000 core from medal shop. That is 2 bulins.
Add 1 bulin from cruise pass every other month, that is 0.5 bulins.
Add 1 bulin from every new or rerun UR event, that is 8/12 = 0.67 bulins per month.

[sweet delta]

for the best advice, send all URs and maybe even SRs you have

[sweet delta]

how many bulins can you get now?

[wanton spear]

I will retire the extra Lexington II

like one or two

[sweet delta]

save for Laffey II, who will take 3 bulins if you farm her second copy

fr how do you have guam but not laffii

[wanton spear]

i forgot to claim missions two years ago or whatever it was

[onyx flame]

pull for the banner but didnt play the event

[late flame]

TiL

[wanton spear]

easier to gamble than play 🙂

this at least is better than a poker addiction

[whole crypt]

I mean if you happy whaling to pull I guess, but playing is free

[wanton spear]

whats whaling

[sweet delta]

whaling was in the event story several months ago

[wanton spear]

i didn't play several months ago

i just hop on every like h alf a year

[whole crypt]

if you somehow got enough cubes without paying for them good on you

[sweet delta]

oh sorry i think i got the wrong definition of whale

whale in gacha context is spending a lot of real money

[wanton spear]

oh
they're not that hard to get

i haven't spent a cent on any game

[whole crypt]

they're not if you play consistently which you don't sound like you've been doing, and also I have no idea how many you spent to get that many dupes

[wanton spear]

i spent like 200

cubes

[whole crypt]

fairly lucky I guess

[trail dagger]

What does subs actually do in single target like hard arbiter? dealing damage or buffing main fleet?

[late flame]

mainly dealing damage

[forest palm]

they're there for extra damage

[whole crypt]

subs are mostly just adding damage regardless of scenario

[sweet delta]

most players use them for their damage
||speedrunners use them for both buff and damage||

[onyx flame]

~~i just use 1404 for xfleet ~~

[whole crypt]

stiggy playing a different game from everyone else

[trail dagger]

so the subs need properly geared and leveled for them to actually impact the fight ?

[late flame]

as with anything yes

[knotty jolt]

If you're using them for damage yes, if support buffing they only need their skills really

[whole crypt]

sub buffs are only substantial if you know how to optimize the specific skills anyway, most of it is really their own torp damage

[trail dagger]

Ah okay, subs is really needed to fight hard arbiter right?

[knotty jolt]

If the rest of your fleet is strong enough not really

[whole crypt]

you can beat harby without subs but it depends on your fleet strength overall

[knotty jolt]

Suchi example used subs like amity a tempesta, nautilus an elite rarity sub and another just for their damage buffing skills to one shot harbiter last month

[whole crypt]

you mean one round

[onyx flame]

last patch aka 2 days ago

[whole crypt]

generally we refer to any kill within 1 fight as oneshotting, stiggy puts together teams that kill in 1 round of salvo/airstrikes

[viscid swift]

This update

[knotty jolt]

Technically a one shot in both meanings, only one shot from each bb

[trail dagger]

guess ill build subs team for hard abiter, can i copy this subs fleet?

[whole crypt]

nope

[knotty jolt]

Don't recommend using theirs unless you know what you're doing

[whole crypt]

2 is max so people who picked up both original run and rerun copies can't buy any more

[late flame]

Those who can buy 2 are newer or missed out on event+rerun

[knotty jolt]

They should let us buy as many as we want

[late flame]

unlimited z flags

[trail dagger]

[whole crypt]

2 is fine do you really want to compete with veteran skk core stocks

[knotty jolt]

I'm a vet and I'm poor

[whole crypt]

last I checked I'm still on the edge of 6 digits

[knotty jolt]

Id have more if I didn't take a two and half yearish break

[whole crypt]

I'm at around 2980 days of continuous login so

[knotty jolt]

Gonna go check mine

1,400 if we remove 2 and half years worth of days

[sweet delta]

Id have more if I didn't skip hard mode back when there wasn't oil cap or clearing mode

[honest mortar]

do action point containers disappear after reset?

for operation siren

[glacial widget]

I’d have more if I wasn’t buying white and black shells every month lmao

[whole crypt]

I'd have more if I didn't have 20 or so oxytorps but yeh

[tropic tusk]

Still waiting sushi video on the main UR of this event

[sweet delta]

i already did it

[glacial widget]

who was the prior strongest? Volga/Aquila?

[sweet delta]

aquila/zuihou in general, or volga/aquila for chapter 14

[glacial widget]

isnt zuihou still better for ch14 if you're running laff/eldr mob?

[sweet delta]

low dmg

[glacial widget]

gotcha, so prio on dmg over healing?

[sweet delta]

at least for hard, the meta is tanky vanguard so that you can bring higher damage healers like volga, raff, cowpens

[glacial widget]

what was your final fleet for 14-4? Did you replace bis-zwei with raff and momo with kurumi?

i watched your video yesterday, dont know if you made any updates since

[sweet delta]

i did not test a lot, i've only played with 3 fleets. I just had this much HP after clearing all mobs in 14-4

[glacial widget]

interesting, i didnt consider lion and z52 on mob

eldridge wasnt tanky enough?

[whole crypt]

what was the spread of mob fleets like, 2/3 stars and DD/BB

[sweet delta]

I don't like that Eldridge proc'd operation rainbow a total of 1 time across 3 battles in a row combined in my last video

https://suchiguma.github.io/deepresearch/auto-search-exp-and-coins/#extra-tables according to this, it is 30% medium, 66% large for autosearch 7 mobs in normal 14-4

[glacial widget]

15% do be like that sometimes

[sweet delta]

according to mined data, it should be about 50-50 between DD and BB

[wind hazel]

momo isn't better than kurumi? has better buff

[sweet delta]

according to my tests, i didn't test them. But Kurumi doesn't need healing

when off tank

[wind hazel]

my cown isnt even 120 yet so i cant run it

[whole crypt]

Kurumi's survivability in 14 is just laughably ridiculous

[wind hazel]

can she even die in campaign mobbing

[sweet delta]

certainly

[whole crypt]

with bad rng and insufficient healing yeh

[rain bobcat]

waht's the shittiest you can go for 14-4H

[whole crypt]

why would you want to go shitty for 14-4H

[rain bobcat]

just to see

[sweet delta]

just to see the defeat screen

[whole crypt]

there isn't much headroom if lethal

[sweet delta]

by shitty do you mean low tech, low ships, low gear

[tropic tusk]

The main UR I only see the free UR

[rain bobcat]

ships

like, how bad ships can you clear it\ with

[wind hazel]

go find out

[whole crypt]

5 good ships and one mediocre ship maybe

[sweet delta]

clear, not 3 star? shouldnt be too hard

[tropic tusk]

I have a fleet that has like 90% clear rate

[wind hazel]

[whole crypt]

just reset until RNG clears the stage ez

[strange sphinx]

[glacial widget]

The least you could do is use Portland over Indy if we’re working with scraps

[smoky citrus]

Anyone know which hard mode cam maps give out the higest percetnage of purple prints?

[atomic abyss]

erebus not in middle

[atomic abyss]

highest you can do

[knotty jolt]

higher worlds tends to have higher chances

[smoky citrus]

Ah I see, I thought it was diffrent per world.

[onyx flame]

you want to run the highest you can anyway since coredata is honestly more valued than purple prints

[smoky citrus]

Ok

[knotty jolt]

If you really need to you can consolidate blues into purples

[smoky citrus]

Yeah, I already knew that. The thing is, I', still running out of pritns regardless.

[whole crypt]

just play for another few months/years

[knotty jolt]

sell your soul to the green cat

[noble pawn]

few months of dedication will bear the good result

[smoky citrus]

lmao

[stray flume]

Guys I pulled Cleveland META, is he/she usefull?

[knotty jolt]

Middle of the road gold

[silent bluff]

If I can retrofit unicorn should I retrofit her?

[atomic abyss]

highest priority retrofit in the game, yes

[silent bluff]

Cool

[knotty jolt]

highest priority in general

[ivory sigil]

5h meck or 8h gouden?

[stark quiver]

5h meck

[true zenith]

are oxytorps and snorkel only available in core data shop?

should i count on getting them anywhere else

[wind hazel]

ur oxytorp yes

both only from core shop

[tropic tusk]

I'm just leveling up ships so no

[white venture]

can I make 14-3H fleets better?

[wind hazel]

maybe, if you have the ships

[rapid summit]

I don’t have dev 30 meck and I’m not in a rush about getting her to dev 30 yet so can I go to pr5 and get Plymouth and focus on her gun? (Ik you can get her gun out of the store but I’m trying to make it quicker)

[sweet delta]

no

[rose whale]

This banner/event last 3 weeks right?

[white venture]

I have everything except neptunia ships yes

[onyx flame]

her coining should be like coming in a month or so

[sweet delta]

imma drop this then

[rapid summit]

Okk ty

[sweet delta]

i need to upgrade kurumi to SS for mob too

[weary edge]

i only have one plymouth gun, should i use it on a bb or cl

[knotty jolt]

Front line first vanguards can actually use it

[wind hazel]

on your CL dps>BB

[whole crypt]

stig is that the milk icon from island

[wind hazel]

somehow yamashiro 14-2 is scarier than mogami wtf

[whole crypt]

because it melts your main fleet

[strange sphinx]

w14?

[whole crypt]

14H

I think stiggy onefleeted 14-4 with it but I'm not sure what was on his second fleet

[strange sphinx]

oh wait we have 14H now I just remembered it

also do you have any fleet for 13H? Still Stuck (Note Lazy to do) in 12H

[whole crypt]

it's pretty much just throwing AA at the problem

given the TRP reqs you'll probably want something shimanto and the high AA DDs

[strange sphinx]

well imma make thread for now

FLEET FOR 13H (For now)

[whole crypt]

oh wait 13 was AA req

[rose whale]

Fs10 for drake when

[tulip tinsel]

never

[rain bobcat]

is +13 everything an important difference here

[wind hazel]

beaver not being +13 is biggest crime

[stark quiver]

Non pvpers

[jovial sandal]

Whos trh strongest carrier

[whole crypt]

strongest for what

and with who

[tulip tinsel]

ranger fr best carrier ever

[ocean terrace]

they got the same answer in al general and they replied 'how do I get her'

[jovial sandal]

Strongest carrier in al

[whole crypt]

sorry but gameplay doesn't work that way
we have carriers that can be strong for one type of encounter but not the best for others

[jovial sandal]

What are meta characters is it still shinano

[whole crypt]

Shinano is still part of the anti-heavy team assuming you don't need a stopper but IJN CV is no longer top anti-heavy

[jovial sandal]

What are those anti heavy i played when it was 2021

[whole crypt]

BB with new rainbow gun

also needs Lion and Meck

[jovial sandal]

Is the game still generous with pulls

[whole crypt]

we've never gotten less cubes

[jovial sandal]

Cool i guess i can play again thanks

[whole crypt]

rates have not gone down either

[jovial sandal]

How many percentage on sr? And ssr again

[whole crypt]

if EN you mean elite and SR

[onyx flame]

[jovial sandal]

Thanks i wanna play a gooner game besides wuwa

[ocean terrace]

you've come to the right game

[rain bobcat]

[robust plinth]

eumm, what's the priority for event farming?

[white agate]

HVAR in D3

[silent bluff]

Is clarence k worth building?

[terse juniper]

Jintsuu meta one shot

[serene moth]

what do people use to farm the event while taking the least oil per map clear? or just send it on hard?

[verbal plinth]

uni+x tends to be the goto for 1:1

[serene moth]

any specific gear to make that work? Or does general good 10 gear do it?

[verbal plinth]

good 10 gear and load other fleet with crossfleet stuff should be fine

[serene moth]

for the requirements i suppose that you need for hard?

[tropic tusk]

uni + any ddg

most ddg are the chinese ships

[dire arch]

Hey I am planning on getting Shimakaze UR. Is she worth getting?

[tropic tusk]

shes mainly for pvp now days

[dire arch]

Oh okay. Thanks.

[onyx flame]

if your grabbing her from perma pity there are better ships to grab

[tulip tinsel]

one of the lowest prios

[late flame]

even so there are better pvp ships than shima

[noble pawn]

does C6 gives better cat node than C5?

[tropic tusk]

c5 and c6 roughly has the same drop rate , so c5 is better cause of its less cost

[noble pawn]

I see

[robust plinth]

best way to level up ships and mlb for tech points?

[tulip tinsel]

12-4

[noble pawn]

World 9 for early commander
World 12 for mid game commander

[rigid onyx]

d3 is less exp/oil but you also should be grinding it until at least 55k by event end

[next escarp]

Should I give UR oxygen torpedo for submarine aux?

[rigid onyx]

depends, but in campaign basically always do pressure hull + snorkel

[next escarp]

For daily challenge clearing only, I ran out of torpedoes before killing the boss

[crimson glacier]

do you have royal fortune

[noble pawn]

Royal Fortune still works for daily challenge?

[tulip tinsel]

royal fortune can solo it

[crimson glacier]

isnt royal fortune the meta for it

[noble pawn]

I used Amity for that

[crimson glacier]

i havent used her but everyone says she wins by default

[tulip tinsel]

any sub can solo it

[atomic vortex]

What are the blue things used to buy UR weapons?

[noble pawn]

Royal Fortune cost me fortune
Amity was free from Tempesta event

[tulip tinsel]

you get em from exchanging ship bps and data packs

[atomic solstice]

do shipyard ships take dock space?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[atomic vortex]

Is this questionably dressed DD good

Or is she buns

[atomic abyss]

she's decent
none of the research ship save halford are "bad" per se

[atomic vortex]

What about her

[atomic vortex]

She my only currently available PR7

[atomic abyss]

one of the best gold rarity CLs

[atomic vortex]

Nothing in 8 and Felix is my only in 6

[onyx flame]

why do you have so many season 6 prints

[atomic vortex]

?

[atomic abyss]

prolly did pr6 focus

[atomic vortex]

Oh the bps

I pre farmed Kearsarge and chose a random character after her while not so sobar

I think I dead ass eneminemyimoed and ended up BP farming the questionably dressed DD

[inland rain]

tips to beating hard ex?

[hollow gust]

Warm up your hands

[atomic abyss]

you do need to manual

[inland rain]

yeah but is there spesific types of ship I should use?

[atomic abyss]

actually well geared ones
expect your backlines to be the DPS carry

[inland rain]

WHat are best backliners then

[atomic abyss]

if you dont have a very strong account i wouldnt bother with hard EX

[vestal yoke]

when should I start doing war archives?

[atomic abyss]

and asking that kinda question probably means you dont have the best backliners or the best gear

[tulip tinsel]

if you need the ships for some very special reason, otherwise never

[atomic vortex]

Eww manual attacking

[atomic abyss]

only if you need the ships there for tech for research

[inland rain]

I mean i do have a lot of ships

[atomic vortex]

Any actual benefit to doing manual

[atomic abyss]

good manual play can increase your damage

in the case of hard EX it's almost impossible without manual cos the dmg is too high

in any case, for this event, the hard EX is prolly going to be some sort of anti light armour team

[hollow gust]

Manual has never been about backline dps , you manual cause your vanguard needs to survive

[white agate]

i disagree: halford has more usefulness of half the PR ships due to her avi padding alone

[atomic abyss]

there's a difference between useful and being good

by that argument, you can argue shirakami fubuki is useful for avi padding
same for all the other non-kears BBVs

but that doesnt make them a good ship

[vital meadow]

anyone got a comp/gear for the hard 14-3?

[hollow gust]

This is the situation where copy someone from YouTube would apply

[plain saffron]

shibuki mentioned

[vital meadow]

https://imgur.com/wykhLvb what does this crown on shimanto mean

[atomic abyss]

nothing
all research ships have that border

[plain saffron]

PR/DR ships

[hollow gust]

Also not a crown , that's a very distinct anchor

[vital meadow]

some of them has like kurumi tokisaki, which i dont have cuz i havent maxed mine out yet

is there a good replacement for her

[wind hazel]

for mob? can just do the classic laffey2 eldridge shimanto or bayard

if you have momo she's great too

[teal hare]

quick question, there gifts you can give to the shipgirls to increase the affection, above the vow button. But ive never seen those gifts, can you even aquire them?

[vital meadow]

who's momo

[proper violet]

Like I know it's 0.5% but why that mofo meta not droppin

[late flame]

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

[tulip tinsel]

island planner, which is a waste of time

[teal hare]

ahh thats why i havent seen them xd i dont touch that stuff

[late flame]

it was fun for a bit if you like animal crossing - but i ultimately dropped it since it required too much effort

[atomic abyss]

because you're meant to farm her from the event and not build her from the banner

[late flame]

just pity Lex2 like me, i got 2 copies

[white agate]

fun fact, i think i am at like 33/50 HVAR at like 80k event points and i got only 1 copy of the meta ship from stage drops

[rigid onyx]

skissue

[forest palm]

70k can make 3 HVAR

[rain bobcat]

55k, 2 hvar 5 cleve

[knotty jolt]

im at 74k and 1.5 hvars and 1 cleve

[white agate]

still 0.2 HVAR more than me

[quasi nymph]

which of these libre ships are actually good ?

need them for fleet points in order to unlock bayard

[hollow gust]

You are going to need the vanguard for Bayard research, so do those

If you already have a vanguard to grind then you do backline, as they give more tech

[onyx flame]

such good rng , im at 33 prints with 97k points

[rain bobcat]

I mean is that with sp

i did 55k purely from farming and daily mission (not including 3 pull)

[wind hazel]

2 hvar@55k with daily bonus included is insanely good drop rate

or you mean only missions and no bonus

still insane though

[rain bobcat]

no daily bonus just the typical clear 3 stage hard mode

[wind hazel]

how many pt is that, like 150 or 300 or something

[rain bobcat]

not 50 prints but 45 since I had 5 leftover

like 450 a day? I finished farming in 1 week

[wind hazel]

yeah that's crazy drop rate lol

[rain bobcat]

lets just say 45k points minimum from clears

thats 250 runs low if we say 45k from farming

quite insane luck

I finished my 2nd hvar of the event within 20k points of farming

[noble pawn]

lucky as heck I got fist HVAR in 80k point

[wind hazel]

i got first drop from SP today lol

[rain bobcat]

simply lovely

[rigid onyx]

20% drop rate in 250 runs if the estimated drop rate is 10% is like almost impossible

[rain bobcat]

idk I got quite a lot of double drops

[atomic vortex]

What are we talking about I'm genuinely curious

[rigid onyx]

hvar

[wind hazel]

hvar drop rate from D3

[rain bobcat]

I had guaranteed <10 prints before event

[rigid onyx]

if the drop rate is 15% you're in the top 98th percentile if the drop rate is 10% you are in the top 99.99999

[rain bobcat]

5-7 im sure

[rigid onyx]

although i doubt the drop rate is 10% it seems to be higher

[atomic vortex]

TF is the hvar

I got 3 b2b cleve before a single hvar print

I have 6

mine with sp runs but you know

why is there a + in the l2d button, making it to "l2d+" ?

Use both

[hallow spoke]

So I put both on my team?

[rigid onyx]

unicorn should be on every mobbing fleet, cowpens is a great off-healer with decent damage as well

[hallow spoke]

So I could do raffalo and cowpen with uni

[rigid onyx]

yeah

[hallow spoke]

Alr

[tidal walrus]

Who is best paired with Lex II
To use the second skill efficiently

[hollow gust]

Yorky2

[tidal walrus]

Yorktown II?

This is nuts

[hallow spoke]

Should I use fancy?

[atomic abyss]

no

[hallow spoke]

Rn it's Diego Bolzano, and fancy

[atomic abyss]

fancy isnt inherently bad, she's just not particularly worth investing into

[hallow spoke]

Oh

[atomic abyss]

esp since she has no way to shoot planes

she also uses a completely different set of gear

[atomic solstice]

is there any trick to the abyssal that heals a shitton when it gets low besides "do more damage"

[hallow spoke]

Wait lemme show dock

Idk who to use

[verbal plinth]

Hit it harder

[atomic abyss]

nope

[atomic abyss]

use for what exactly

[hallow spoke]

Progression

I'm like level 57

[atomic abyss]

firstly, dont raise any UR for now

URs that dont have all 6*s are worse than golds

second

[hallow spoke]

I just had another copy of rafallo

[atomic abyss]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

Read that, and go get unicorn

[hallow spoke]

I have a maxed unicorn

[rain bobcat]

hoarding airstrikes and ramming

otherwise no

[atomic abyss]

where is your unicorn then

unicorn is like the best ship for "progression"

[atomic abyss]

that is not maxed

[hallow spoke]

What do I count as maxed

[atomic abyss]

level 125, retrofit, 10/10 skills

[hallow spoke]

Alr

[atomic abyss]

firstly retrofit her

[hallow spoke]

I'm missing 3 more retrofit

[atomic abyss]

anyways read the beginner guide

[hallow spoke]

Alright

[tranquil rock]

what's the stats requirement for TB nature photographer ending

just asking here because nobody responded in the thread

[eternal basalt]

All requirememys are in the stickies

[atomic abyss]

well, i dont think you'll get an answer here either, cos most of us here dont really care for that

just wait, or yeah check the stickies/pins

[viscid swift]

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

Might also wanna give that a read

[robust plinth]

what about the fleet? what's the plan here

[rapid shard]

Once you get to 12-4 and get it to safe you can run just about anything lv85+ long as you have a okay amount of AA to level them

[atomic abyss]

if your idea is to raise tech, then any of them really

[robust plinth]

so basically just put for example, any kms ships and just slap equipment on them?

[atomic abyss]

yeah

if your gear is good enough that'll do

[frozen stag]

Are there any good hms ships I can use to grind ply exp other than sirius

[robust plinth]

i think I'm struggling with that... what about if i use a leveled ship to carry them? idk maybe unicorn? or anything else?

[atomic abyss]

firstly why are you raising tech for

[atomic abyss]

just gloucester

[robust plinth]

for fdg?

im kinda lost rn, havent played the game for 5 years. still lvl 65

[atomic abyss]

usually for research we assume mlb only and stop there

then forget 12-4 grinding

[frozen stag]

damn are there like any good ships I can get in the shops for the third hms

[atomic abyss]

focus on levelling up ships to mlb them, as opposed to getting them to 120

[atomic abyss]

HMS frontliners are mostly quite questionable tbh
oh i guess eskimo has DD FP tech

janus and glow are okay DDs

[onyx flame]

might as well level one for fleet tech thou rn vanguard fleettech is also kinda

[atomic abyss]

then focus on levelling up ships in the event to mlb them, as opposed to getting them to 120
you probably dont have enough resources to go around for a 120 grind

[robust plinth]

by enough resources u mean oil? i have 25k

[atomic abyss]

the bulins, the gear

have you gotten 12-4 to safe level even

do you even have the ships to get enough tech

[robust plinth]

oh the bulins, yuh that's the problem also dock space is tight.

nah just started 9 rn

[atomic abyss]

oh then forget 12

lol

[tulip tinsel]

then don't bother with shipyard until w12

[atomic abyss]

you can forget fdg for a while then

[robust plinth]

thanks guys

[proper violet]

I mean is roon not a good start for now?

Like time requirement fite xp

[atomic abyss]

the fundamental issue

is that before w12 you're getting fuck all exp and coins for the grind

you might as well focus on levelling a proper fleet in the event

[proper violet]

Yeah he won't finish it at all, but he could get the time thing removed at least in the meantime

[atomic abyss]

or hell, grind their levels in the event

[onyx flame]

and your spreading your exp to ships that you might not be using/help you clear to w12

[robust plinth]

speaking of which is there any guide i can use to prepare ships for w12?

[onyx flame]

like sure you can start it ig but really dont focus on it, if you got z23 as one of your main ships nice cool you can passively gain exp for roon, if your following newbie guide saint louis is a better choice with 2 eu ships alr but honestly it doesnt matter which you pick at the start

[proper violet]

Does researching give less xp to your ships in campaign/event?

[atomic abyss]

you're grinding exp on irrelevant ships

[onyx flame]

no but your changing your lineup to meet req which hurts you

[proper violet]

I guess, I was a silly boy and went for z23 from the get go anyway, forgor ppl might choose javelin or laffey

[onyx flame]

there really isnt since everyone docks differs, you can post your dock in a threadand ask for recos for a 2nd fleet to start planning on who to level ahead

[proper violet]

Homie got eugen mlb

[atomic abyss]

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

[robust plinth]

idk what im doing rlly, i just play blindy 5 years ago

[tulip tinsel]

that could easily clear 12-4

[onyx flame]

you dont have to follow the newbie fleet 1:1 since you do have better stuff compared to it

[robust plinth]

she's hot, i remember the first time i saw her hahaha

[proper violet]

Both z23 and eugen mlb, he can iron boi pivot easy af

[autumn yarrow]

do you wanna aim for 3x meck gun? or is 1 enough for the flagship

[proper violet]

She really is

[proper violet]

Where was that gotten again?

[onyx flame]

only reco i can give is retro uni asap and put her into your mob fleet

[robust plinth]

okayy. I'm planning to retro my uni btw... is it good thing to do rn or just wasting resources

[tulip tinsel]

pr8 researches

[soft raft]

Very good
becomes best healer in the game after retro

[proper violet]

Unicorn is doing her best

[autumn yarrow]

i actually got 1 meck gun before dev 30ing meck herself somehow

[onyx flame]

thats normal if your not hyper focusing faces

[tulip tinsel]

why my message got reacted with 🫃 . 🥀

[robust plinth]

her new skin is tempting ngl

[proper violet]

Yeah had the trial, is good, but missing something for me idk what doe

[robust plinth]

hell, earthquake happening rn. sorry off topic guys

[safe wagon]

How long does it take to get medals?

[white agate]

its pretty fast

[wind hazel]

grind a lot daily, retire the ships you farmed, and it will accumulate

[white agate]

add low cost farming and you get more than you can spend monthly

[wind hazel]

how many yo ugot

[atomic abyss]

it really depends on how much you grind

if you grind a lot, you get medals quick

if you dont, then well it'll be very slow

[white agate]

like a 1000, i did not farm anything for 4-5 month, just did daily so my stack went burned

[safe wagon]

When you buy a ship for 80 medals is it pick or random?

[wind hazel]

pick

[atomic abyss]

pick out of that particular hull type

[white agate]

unless you refer to requisition scam its determinate

[safe wagon]

Okay good

[wind hazel]

like this

[safe wagon]

Is it possible to get 70 before end of the month? Or should I just give up and wait until march

[tulip tinsel]

can be done in a few hours

[white agate]

i get like more than 70 daily

[wind hazel]

doable

also why march

[atomic abyss]

70 in a day requires you to grind quite a lot

[white agate]

man knows the secret schedule of the shop golds

[atomic abyss]

at least, quite a fair bit more than the average player

[wind hazel]

yeah few hours doesn't sound right for 70 medals lol

[white agate]

HVAR farming does not help my sense of what a normal player does

[atomic abyss]

if you grind over 4-5 days
consistent amounts of decent grind is sufficient with enough luck

[wind hazel]

though event does drop elite more frequently, i notice

[atomic abyss]

elites better drops

[tidal walrus]

Guys which ship does debuff AA
Coz then Lex II is bad with her second skill

[wind hazel]

oh make sense

[atomic abyss]

laff 2 iirc?

[onyx flame]

york2, laff2, traf

[safe wagon]

Is the wiki incorrect? It says CAs are in march again

[wind hazel]

are you misreading wiki

[atomic abyss]

medal shop rotation is random

[safe wagon]

Probably

[onyx flame]

the wiki shows past results not actual rotation

[tidal walrus]

Thanks
Which one is a good flagship btw ?

[atomic abyss]

there is no "future" schedule

[safe wagon]

Okay thanks

[wind hazel]

kearsarge

[safe wagon]

I’m gonna grind hard and hope I get her now

[onyx flame]

shouldnt be too bad, but hvar farming has inflated my medal count by a bunch

[analog tendon]

after getting exactly enough bp for one HVAR with 70k points i decided that my first and only HVAR is enough...

[white agate]

tbh may aim for 2 with low cost oil, but yeah really quite niche solution

[rapid shard]

I just got 51 prints at 100k from lowcosting.... I may just take a break from them for a bit

[wind hazel]

inb4 new gear powercreep next year

[white agate]

woudn't a skyrider buildable do that already or am i missing smh?too slow?

[wind hazel]

we only have 2 skyraider now, and if we have 4 then yes too slow

[soft raft]

No way UR Rudder

[split bramble]

Is it me or is 14-3 hard alot harder then 14-4 as there isn't a ammo depot

[rapid shard]

Na UR Toolbox first

[sage nebula]

Does Baltimore's augment change the mods of her special ammo?

[dim tundra]

how do I use this

[wind hazel]

a little bit of yes and no

[whole crypt]

it's the points for one of the prelude events, there's no shop to spend it

[dim tundra]

oh, I see

[split bramble]

Well I guess I'm not 3 star clearing it until I tlget it to safe

[dim tundra]

what do I do with the common ships other than using them to enhance other ships

[wind hazel]

retire for small amount of coin
