i see shes really good for pvp too

[grave cove]

What are the rules on where to post dock images? Wanted to ask what UR I should MLB next

Or is that just for pulls?

[knotty jolt]

Flaunting pulls or etc is #trophy-room but help on your dock is here

[soft raft]

If it's more than one image, do it in a thread
but when you're looking for fleet help, you will likely be directed to make a thread to post your dock in regardless

[knotty jolt]

Since it's UR limit break priority help you should be fine just posting your URs here

[grave cove]

Current URs. If I can do the math I have enough for 2 MLB curious who I should do. Im guessing Musashi is 1?

[knotty jolt]

Musashi would be top priority

[onyx flame]

Prob Sashi and lexi2 then save for laff2

[knotty jolt]

After that id probably save them for laffey2 or Guam

[grave cove]

So definitely Musashi, but maybe wait for next banner for 2nd?

[knotty jolt]

Also a question: did you just dump all your core on the bulins right now?

If so it's better to just leave them as currency till you need them otherwise the bulins just take up dock space

[grave cove]

I'm at 3705 core rn

Fair i didn't think of that. I have generally been buying as I get 5k

[stable bloom]

ya do musashi

[knotty jolt]

Do you remember to buy the core in the medal shop too cause you make it sound like you're just doing the monthly drop stuff

There's 3k worth in the medal shop

[grave cove]

I grabbed all the medal shop core and have been getting what I can from extra event currency as well

I just havent been playing too long is why my dock is so slim

Thanks for the help. Any other suggestions or things I should be aware of?

[stable bloom]

idk if u have already but probably find an active guild and do the guild operations and missions

u can get some guild currency for yourself and use it to buy some decent stuff

[grave cove]

Yeah, got that covered. Appreciate it though

[stable bloom]

personally i use it to just buy some T4 gear parts

[brave canyon]

is there an early game guide for good/usable epic gear?

[wind hazel]

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

[limpid moon]

Any recommendations for what ur gear I should craft with my current ur gear and mats

[queen meadow]

I already lb’d lexington ii and I just pulled her again, is there any point in keeping her?

[whole crypt]

kind of depends on what you need

[whole crypt]

no
for one thing why are you still pulling if you already LB'd

[queen meadow]

Daily quests 😭

[wind hazel]

why even mlb if you're still pulling

[whole crypt]

you know you can do daily on light pool right?

[wind hazel]

you waste cubes just to get extra event currency that can be farmed?

[whole crypt]

and you're recommended to just do 1 light per day for that, the event one is only for points which is easier to just grind

[queen meadow]

I just asked what to do with her, I’m not gonna stick around for y’all pulling some “erm ackshually 🤓” reddit mod behavior

[limpid moon]

is wyvern worth grabbing for campaign

[dire arch]

How to get this things? Is there any way?

[whole crypt]

scrap her then

[dire arch]

I mean equip

[whole crypt]

those are gear prints
you need to collect enough of them before you can craft the actual gear in your depot

[whole crypt]

yeh pretty much the best generic TB alongside Swordfish, but Wyvern is easier to craft

[limpid moon]

also wanted to ask how twin 457 compares to the triple 406 or are they about the same

[whole crypt]

also just for the record we're not doing it just because we want to boss you around, this is a gameplay help channel and we often come across people making poor use of their resources so it's pretty much standard advice

[wind hazel]

different use. 457 is an AP mobbing gun. which 406 are you referring to

[limpid moon]

the rainbow one

[whole crypt]

the 2 guns do completely different things but neither of which you should really need to craft now
457 is a fast-ish AP gun that's great for lategame mobbing
rainbow triple 406 is a shelling HE gun which is good for BB teams on light bosses

[sweet delta]

The triple 406

[whole crypt]

the only rainbow 406 that can be crafted in lab is Mk7

(for now)

[hoary relic]

what is better, type 95 gay sub torp or gay g7e?

[hoary relic]

you mean 406mm mk7 aka NJ gun?

[limpid moon]

yer

[queen meadow]

I’m sorry, I thought y’all were. I’ve seen a few assholes in here.

[ivory sigil]

Does having Huge EVA saving alot for newship to stay alive despite at low lv?

[rigid onyx]

t95kai is probably better in bossing if you have a stop

otherwise rainbow g7e is better

[wind hazel]

maybe, but level disadvantage is still the issue

and depends on the ship. high eva ship with higher eva is kinda bad vs high hp ship with low eva

[rain bobcat]

sub wont matter anyway so just pick g7e since its more consistent

all hard content doesn't have sub option and all content that have sub option is easy

[rigid onyx]

pick gold g7e since you can refund them if ever necessary

[rain bobcat]

true

[rigid onyx]

refund gold plates that is

[whole crypt]

stiggy says 95k still better for bossing, no idea if G7ek will be better for late mobbing

[whole crypt]

it's more of the issue of reinvestment if you already made +13 95ks

[rain bobcat]

95 assumes stops during the sub duration iirc

[whole crypt]

and depends on what boss you're fighting and whether the fleet has slow/stop support that matches up

[rain bobcat]

anyway if you don't have any rainbows, either stick to gold g7e or upcraft to raibow

[whole crypt]

sad bidder noises

[rain bobcat]

atleast you can refund if you stick to g7e

finally, im down to 500 AP

[rigid onyx]

oh shit i need to start burning down my ap in c5

[rain bobcat]

I will surely finish this before I go out on the 31st

[whole crypt]

thing is as it stands subs only use with harb really if you're considering bossing, and none of the harbs are particularly hyperactive

maybe CM, but CM is CM

[rain bobcat]

pov you want to finish AP but scam cat comes in with 300 AP every few runs

[rigid onyx]

i turn off stop for scam cat when sleeping

[wind hazel]

c5 will burn faster than they appear

[rain bobcat]

wont really help that harbs die in 1 shot minimum 2 shot maximum later on lmao

[rigid onyx]

subs are useful for campaign but they havent made a new world in a while

[whole crypt]

yeh bis/meck/lion didn't need to finish the second salvo to kill this month's hermit

[rigid onyx]

14h was also somewhat easy for some reason

[slow fox]

-# I am having the time of my life not clearing 14H

[whole crypt]

because you already know how the map works it's just bigger numbers and ship restrictions, but also we have stronger ships now plus gear

[wind hazel]

14H is good opportunity to test main fleet eHP

[rain bobcat]

the last hermit rotation my d25 meck outdamaged bis LMAO

[rigid onyx]

i judge ships only off of end screne damage

[slow fox]

I definitely plan on getting some samples after I manage to safe 14-4H

[rain bobcat]

is it really though

[whole crypt]

the slot restrictions aren't really a problem as long as you have a good selection from each hull class, stats are slightly more annoying

[whole crypt]

it's great, if your ship doesn't vanish in one enemy salvo it's enough eHP

[rain bobcat]

isn't that just gonna be "who survives top position when fleet has 0 dps"

[wind hazel]

... that's the whole point of eHP no?

[rain bobcat]

full hp entering 2 star BB node, somehow cowpens just flops in the middle

[slow fox]

-# It's probably going to be scaled to how long Portland dies in the world.
-# So if Meck survives in the backline 3x longer than Portland does in a Recon node, I'm going to say she has 300%

[rain bobcat]

I mean yeah but wont a lot of ships die in 1 shot

no rudder/extinguisher im pretty sure 80% of ships are insta dying

[wind hazel]

yes, so there will be a cutoff where ships survive, with their eHP value, and the rest that die

[rigid onyx]

elite damage control manjuu s tier for ehp

[rain bobcat]

list just has percentages and the bottom 500 just says "dead" lmao

[whole crypt]

not really Unicorn and Aquila can actually survive 2 salvos and some, the problem is when you stack burn and suicide boats onto it

[rain bobcat]

you mean, portland dying in 15s and then you measure how long it takes for top pos to also die?

[summer patio]

What does retiring ships do?

[whole crypt]

repair ships though... rip light armour

[whole crypt]

gives you a bit of coins, medals if the ship is at least blue rarity, and frees up the slot from your dock

[rigid onyx]

i dont know why you need to scale it when the second is a perfectly cromulent unit

[summer patio]

Thank youu!!!

[whole crypt]

we don't usually recommend retiring unique copies of a ship, at least as long as you have space

if you're running out of space and can't afford more, then consider scrapping common ships or using them as enhancement fodder first

[slow fox]

Depends. I haven't completely fleshed it out yet. The top position is important because of that one top enemy BB?

[slow fox]

Perhaps. Maybe there's a more intuitive scale somewhere else.

[dim osprey]

Stupid question, but how do I unlock the S.P and E.X parts of the current event?

[rain bobcat]

clear d3

[wind hazel]

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

[wind hazel]

^do this at B3 to access D3

[whole crypt]

depends on which node specifically but production fusous exist in both top and bottom lanes, might be the command ship BBs that are causing more trouble too

[summer patio]

Are any of these worth buying?

[tropic tusk]

Sandy , the other one not really

[wind hazel]

get atago or takao, you will need your IJN tech

[ivory hearth]

Hi I'm a newb and I have like 25000 oil, but I dont know how to use them fast. How do I use it?

[silk sphinx]

1. Buy food in dorm 2. Use it for farming 3. Opsi, there's a 5k Oil cost thing you can get once a month if you do opsi

[bleak junco]

Weird question, are there any ships that are really fun to use? Like, with how they feel when playing in manual and stuff (in places like campaign I guess)

[ivory hearth]

what am i supposed to be farming? thank u so much

[rigid onyx]

event or 12-4

[silk sphinx]

rn the event, but otherwise the highest stage you can reach (up to w12-w13 ish)

[ivory hearth]

kk

[ocean terrace]

it's probably better to spend Medals on ships that I need for tech over the PR/DR blueprints right? (considering I've bought out all SR bulins and spec cores)

[white agate]

yes

prio rld,fp,hit and avi for backliners

[ocean terrace]

oh I meant faction tech but both work I guess

[white agate]

tbh faction tech is super easy to level due to the enormous amount of ur in the game

[ocean terrace]

yeah but research ships are also time-gated so I'd wanna do them asap

[white agate]

even if you don't mlb the ur bringing it to 120 gives the tech and the stat

[ocean terrace]

also USS doesn't have many good ships I can do anyway (need IB, EU atm)

[white agate]

like my uvh still 3* , but at 120

rld tech

[inner delta]

theres no point rushing research ship, you still the bp for them after you get them anyway for them to be usable

[ocean terrace]

well coinable ones

coining is time-gated too, earlier I start the better

[tulip tinsel]

just buy both ship and bp

[ocean terrace]

my PR ship progress is going well, just wanna get started on the FdG asap and prepare tech for Ply too

[cobalt robin]

noo i missed yesterdays hard mode attempts

[tulip tinsel]

it's sad you can only buy series 7 bp and not 8

[ocean terrace]

oh I didn't even realise

[cerulean field]

is lexington II good ship to get?

[wind hazel]

yes

[tulip tinsel]

it's shiny rainbow so yes

[stable bloom]

idk tbh, i feel like an all destroyer vanguard is kind of interesting

but main i like more because you can do all sorts of stuff with battlecruisers, repair ships, light carriers etc

[tulip tinsel]

all destroyer fleet

[wind hazel]

dd is fun to manual yes. point blank torp release is fun

[stable bloom]

well if i was just using CB's and heavy cruisers all i do is just move them and thats it

all destroyer i can just nuke 💀

[eternal pine]

is indianapolis good at all?

[tropic tusk]

use portland for early game better

[heavy zealot]

Would any dd want the UR gun from gear lab?

[vale spindle]

event ends in a week and some change right

[ocean terrace]

ends on 1/7

[vale spindle]

awesome

[onyx flame]

Most along with some cl

[ivory sigil]

technically i shouldnt ask but is warsprite easymode really that harsh ?

like we need a rainbow gear for it or the top10 ship in the CM excel endgamelist?

it is not even half of the time and my main is already 0

warsprite Guide pls

[ocean terrace]

those ships don't look great for bossing...

[rain bobcat]

ur using probably the worst composition you can use for bossing

[wind hazel]

it's dps check during its loading. you can try manual and unload your strikes when she's charging

[rain bobcat]

and also yeah, there's a dps check so you either have to manual or have good knowledge

[onyx flame]

Also suchi already has a guide for all the challenge modes

[tulip tinsel]

https://suchiguma.github.io/challengemode/december/

[wind hazel]

the knowledge will tell you to manual because you're missing the ships and gear to auto

dont you have origami? she will works better here than the healer

[rain bobcat]

isn't one of the strats like

having the most ridiculous spread of timings and praying

[wind hazel]

that's for auto

[ivory sigil]

🥲 the guide said it is hard for midend team

wait what the different between easy CM and hard CM ?

[rain bobcat]

one is obviously easier than the other

[wind hazel]

one is easy, one is hard

[rain bobcat]

no other thigns change other than dmg and hp

[ivory sigil]

for easynode was the submarrine/flag necessary? or they are just similar as cat officier

[weary edge]

is william d porter good/worth building?

[wind hazel]

what

[weary edge]

im lowk low on bulins i only have 5 UR bulins atm so idk if i should save

[wind hazel]

are you asking whether submarine flag position matter or what? i dont understand

[whole crypt]

skills can be more convoluted in higher difficulties

[onyx flame]

Save cause laff2 coming
Willy is good but shes more built for uss fleet bossing

[wind hazel]

if you dont have laffey2 then save, otherwise you can spend them

[weary edge]

ok thx

[rain bobcat]

willy is just good for bossing slot in general

10% flag +5% perma full fleet bonus is nice

[ivory sigil]

i saw some submarrine flagbarrer in the guide vid

[rain bobcat]

submarine is extra dmg what can I say

[wind hazel]

yes submarine positioning matter

some sub wants to be flag, some indifferent

[ivory sigil]

I was about to ask about Cowpens... does Healer dont work for this boss?
Or should i skip this boss and wait for better champ like Guam/Laffey2

[whole crypt]

sagittarius is what, spoot?

[red sapphire]

Hi, what should I limit beak next?

[hollow gust]

Guam and Laffey ain't fixing shit for warspite. You inherently lack the ability to break down warspite charge

[stark quiver]

yes babe

[ivory sigil]

"just use lion" ahh moment

[stark quiver]

nah fam
just use unzen

[wind hazel]

cowpens has stronger dmg than unicorn lol, so you might get better results

[onyx flame]

zwei prob

[stark quiver]

@wind hazel do you like new or old lex skin
the paid ones

[wind hazel]

swap your healers out really, use your origami cowpens, manual them

[ocean terrace]

iirc Cowpens fits 4 strikes when other CVs do 3 so damage is very similar to Origami and Enty over 80s

[wind hazel]

there's old lex skin?

[red sapphire]

Yeah make sense. I wanted to check before messing up

Thanks

[wind hazel]

this?

[stark quiver]

yeah

[wind hazel]

old skin is a skin.
new skin is just horny

[rain bobcat]

you simply need to do 30k dmg within the 5s of a dps check, it is a very simple mechanic to work around

[stark quiver]

i bought new skin without looking at old first

[wind hazel]

can you equip old skin on lexii?

[stark quiver]

yeah

[whole crypt]

why not

[hollow gust]

The old one is worn out , just feels old

[whole crypt]

old one is saru

[wind hazel]

using default lexii is the way

[strong tartan]

well if a kid was born on the same day it was released that same kid would be going into first grade so

let's see how long hard takes

[wind hazel]

[stark quiver]

[cobalt robin]

who is the rerun after guam?

[whole crypt]

I'm not playing helenarng

[wind hazel]

soyboi

[stark quiver]

or 5 with helena

soyuz

[hollow gust]

Its like new Lexy comparison to old Lexy, sure you can argue that old Lexy was a better design , things such as resolution is just better in new

[scarlet cosmos]

Should I fs5 bayard and daisen, or finish hindenburg? Hindenburg needs 65 more bp to dev 30

I also heard pr6 will be coinable, but im not sure if it applies to hindenburg

[stark quiver]

which do u prefer

[wind hazel]

it wont. only PR

[whole crypt]

Saratoga

[hollow gust]

New? Cause I can literally see the different grains of pixel on the old one

It's like 360p

[wind hazel]

i recommend fs5 bayard, has more use than hind lol

[ocean terrace]

shame the new one is just ass, literally

[scarlet cosmos]

okay ty! Also, 14-2 was clearable with your help last night!

[strong tartan]

you're welcome

[scarlet cosmos]

I'll fs5 bayard and then move on to hinden, I just want hinden dev 30 bc wife

[hollow gust]

[stark quiver]

your welcome

[strong tartan]

my welcome

[wind hazel]

his welcome

[scarlet cosmos]

or should i also stay in pr7 to get nakhimov? I have soyuz

276 bp left for her to be dev 30 😭

[rain bobcat]

[whole crypt]

[wind hazel]

just make a decision, whether you wanna run sonaru or BB

both are good boss fleet, but sonaru really wants the LA9

[scarlet cosmos]

is sonaru soyuz + nakhimov?

[wind hazel]

soyuz nakhimov fritzrumey

can be soyuz nakhimov lion too, sometimes

[scarlet cosmos]

ok ty!

[eternal pine]

I got barely any tech bonus/shit cats/No rainbow gear for back line lol

[whole crypt]

so the answer was 3 minutes without Helena, slightly surprising

[eternal pine]

is javelin good at all?

or atleast like better than these idiots?

[wind hazel]

she's more or less the same as laffey. you should replace... whoever that is in the middle with helena though. and maybe not repulse as your bb

[eternal pine]

how do I gets helena?

[whole crypt]

probably better than Smalley but I'm fairly sure I told you guild shop last night
also to replace Repulse with Pennsylvania

[eternal pine]

probably better than Smalley but I'm fairly sure I told you guild shop last night
ya I can't find them there, I got portland and unicorn from it though

[wind hazel]

same place

[proper violet]

Guild shop got her

[wind hazel]

... how did you get unicorn but didn't see helena

[tropic tusk]

[onyx flame]

you have to refresh the guild shop after you got uni and port

[whole crypt]

Pennsylvania is in rare, same lineup as Portland
Helena is in elite, same lineup as Unicorn
you can refresh the shop using guild coins once per scheduled refresh on week change and Friday

[onyx flame]

like if you read the newbie guide it even says

[rapid yoke]

Which augment for william porter? Sword or hammer?

[rain bobcat]

the one that gives torp i forgot which

[wind hazel]

ham

[light trail]

is fba 19 safe to disassemble if i have 4 equipped as "backups"? it's like maybe shitty equipment but when i go to disassemble it says it's "important equipment"

i have like 14 extras

[wind hazel]

it's unique, but useless. isn't used for anything

just have some backup yeah, scrap the rest

that's what i did too

[light trail]

so it's just like memorabilia

[wind hazel]

just equip on the trash and forget about them

[rapid shard]

Is .3 diff close enough for Shinano Hakuhou AvP? Avp is middle

if you have unicorn already, you can raise whatever skill you want on perseus. you won't be using perseus when you have unicorn

well she's decent, mediocre isn't the word for her

but she also isn't what you wanna consider to use on harder content, so in the end she's FP tech

no

[wind hazel]

mostly for 1shot harbiter

[rain bobcat]

I mean, filtering by hard content, harbiter is usually not part of it

[wind hazel]

eh... it is

just that you have extra fleet for it

Hello all, looking for suggestions on fleets to use for the new hard maps added. I have most of the ships so just feel free to suggest.

No problem clearing the first map, but I can't defeat the boss fleet on the second map and on the third map my mob fleet loses after a few battles despite Aquila and Unicorn healing.

Thanks in advance.

check pins, there's vids of stig and jimmy clearing 14-4H lethal should be some reference

wat old event should I unlock first?

what old event are you referring to?

Does marco polo need to be flag for barrage?

war archive prob unless their refering to the old mini event stuff for some skins

Are secondary healers a must in hard content?

there's not much point running any of the war archives without anything specific you want to get, especially not while there's an active event

[white agate]

the one you want to read the story of

unless you can unlock them in other ways from the archive

[toxic wren]

Hey chat! Does Eldridge without retrofit make any sense in W14 and W15 or is it better to find some other option?

[whole crypt]

find other options

[whole crypt]

you can do that for 14/14H hard

but keep in mind you still want to keep at least air superiority and your options of ships that will work with 2 BBs will be limited

[spark patio]

which ships should i unlock after FDG? i just had FDG this evening

[forest palm]

Anchorage or Agir from PR4

[red sapphire]

Hi. I was checking the "Ranking for End Game Azur Lane" documment and according to this definitions should I aim to use at least B+ tier ships for endgame? (Or at least using them until I get something else better)

[hollow gust]

That would be a fair assessment

[whole crypt]

the reality is you'll want to be using A and above before challenging endgame stages but bottom line you would want the Bs fully decked out

[red sapphire]

I see. I don't have much tanks I can use so I wanted to know what would be the fair point to use for now. Will look for the best I can not lower than B and will try to use A at least

Thanks

[celest tartan]

can secretary affinity go above 90 now??

[plain saffron]

only with buff, also been like that for a while

[celest tartan]

wat buff

i was not aware of this change

[plain saffron]

event buff i don't have game open rn

[ivory pawn]

If you make a Romantic Wish in the Winter Cards event.

[hollow gust]

There is a tank from every PR season, no reason you should be lacking at all

[toxic wren]

Hey everyone, does these formations good?
1 - boss fleet
2 - mob fleet

[onyx flame]

persus and uni is alr a nono

[hollow gust]

You def posted here at least 3x , did no one correct your fleets

https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

also just use Renhex

[red sapphire]

Lacking I mean the highest tier of tanks. I have Portland and some from PR of course but I wanted to know the tiers so I see if I can actually use them

[onyx flame]

@toxic wren cheeky alr gave you a fleet comp

[toxic wren]

Yeah, about this... These formations have any chance of closing chapters 13 and 14?

[hollow gust]

The fleets you posted? Lmao no

There is just so many things wrong with it

[onyx flame]

are you even at chp 12?

[toxic wren]

I got to him. I'm wondering what to do next.

[hollow gust]

Like 4/6 of your ships have problems , at this point why are you not using the comps cheeky suggested?

[toxic wren]

I use them, I'm just trying to build formations for this myself, but so far without success

[whole crypt]

you seem to be fundamentally missing why the picks are problematic

[hollow gust]

Cause you keep using glass cannons or no cannons.

[toxic wren]

Apparently so. I read the guides, but I don't seem to fully understand the roles of ships.

[civic vortex]

Is possible to complete 1-1 hard mode with 3 stars?

Hi!!

[ivory pawn]

Turn off Clearing Mode.

[whole crypt]

turn off clearing mode

[hollow gust]

Williams fundamentally has no use in that position, her damage is nonexistent , her durability is nonexistent
Sakawa damage is 2020, with no durability
Ulrich as a campaign ship just isn't that good
Percy has no damage beyond 30 seconds

[toxic wren]

Well...

[gritty spear]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/ ~ What is the difference? I will try what you sent here, maybe it will work better for me.

[hollow gust]

Both works

[civic vortex]

thanks

[hollow gust]

Arguably lars is more useful since it has a built in calc but it's preferences

[bold haven]

Is she good?

[woven star]

Not the best but decent in her role. Depends what you have more

If you new better save ur bulins for back line ships

Or wait for Laffy 2 rerun

[civic vortex]

Can we win expansion?

And were I can see again this stickers?

[onyx flame]

no, you buy the expansion with decor coins

[civic vortex]

Are stickers useful?

Deserve?

[tulip tinsel]

don't build her

[naive nexus]

in the same way you can click on the tea pot to make all interact spots light up on Eugen, is there a place or way for other skins to do same?

[tulip tinsel]

this has skin interactions
https://bit.ly/ALCFguide

[rapid tusk]

Should I be selecting a research focus in the beginner stages?

[tulip tinsel]

not recommended until w12

[rapid tusk]

So just ignore it for now?

[tulip tinsel]

yeas

[rapid tusk]

What projects should I be prioritizing?

[ivory pawn]

Yes, you should set it to PR8.

[wind hazel]

yes, select focus series 8

[tulip tinsel]

ah that i thought it was shipyard

[ivory pawn]

And then choose cheap projects, preferably Riggings > the ones you have to scrap gear for.

[rapid tusk]

This yea?

[rain bobcat]

strasbourg, sirius, and bismarck skins do have them but its better to just know them by memory or look at my guide

[rapid tusk]

E.g. in this situation?

[tulip tinsel]

refresh

[ivory pawn]

Gouden Face research (2nd from left) was technically good, just an issue of lack of coins.

[rain bobcat]

probably just pick C since ur very new and broke

[rapid tusk]

Okay

[ivory pawn]

Same problem here, later you’d go for the Grant on the right, but due to lack of coins you’re stuck with the Basic.

[rain bobcat]

beware that C is actually borderline dogshit, but as a newbie it wont hurt to atleast get rewards here and there even if it's shit

[rapid tusk]

True true

[wind hazel]

use your oil to get coin, you have 24k

ngl but that refresh on gouden was really terrible

[hollow gust]

Why would you refresh a gouden

[tulip tinsel]

look at his coins

[hollow gust]

So???

He can get more cubes , and Gouden face is a fantastic research

1 gouden face is worth 3-4 of those shitty basic

[hollow gust]

Either way he kinda screwed you over by refreshing, you should check this list out for the future

[rapid tusk]

Why did he tell me to refresh then?

[wind hazel]

he's bad player

[whole crypt]

because he's wrong

[hollow gust]

Hes giving you shit advice

[whole crypt]

you would have noticed the following response we were telling him it's bad advice

[hollow gust]

This is why people takes months to finish a single pr ship

[rapid tusk]

It's frustrating for me since I'm a new player trying to learn so I usually take anyone's advice in this channel

[whole crypt]

yeh it takes a while to notice who's giving good advice and who's just talking out of their ass

[ivory pawn]

Oh no, losing one Gouden print is going to set him back months.

[whole crypt]

the issue is not losing 1 GL print
the point is GL research was fine to take but he ended up wasting a refresh into a worse lineup

[hollow gust]

More like it's showing him to not take Gouden researches?

[whole crypt]

that said it's a rather minor setback in the overall time it takes to do research

[hollow gust]

Lets keep advising skipping gouden researches and see how long it's going to take

[patent pivot]

anyone have retro hwah jah that isnt oathed

[rapid tusk]

What should I prioritize gem use on?

[patent pivot]

thx

[ivory pawn]

One dorm slot + 2nd floor of dorm, then all in on dock space.

[rapid tusk]

Ok

[whole crypt]

2nd floor of dorm may take a while if you haven't finished expanding 1st floor floor space

[rapid tusk]

Yea need 1000 decor coins for the next upgrade but nearly there

"Your highest priority retrofit is Unicorn . After that, retrofit any other core ship you use daily. "

I've max LB all my starter fleet. Should I focus on retrofitting unicorn next? According to the guide

[whole crypt]

Unicorn should have been first but if you haven't gotten around to her yet then yes

[rapid tusk]

I haven't retrofitted any characters yet

[wind hazel]

unicorn first

then depends on which you're using, usually portland next

[whole crypt]

it used to be Unicorn then Portland and starters but Portland and starter retrofits are no longer needed for newbie missions, so just do Unicorn first and work on whatever after that

Portland may be of lower priority if you have other usable tanks by that point

can we start thinking about low cost 14H

[wind hazel]

die trying

[rapid tusk]

This is current fleet

[whole crypt]

ah standard starter, then yes just go Unicorn then Portland

[rapid tusk]

I'm at commander level 39. Max starred everthing up to 5-4. Do I just keep running 5-4?

[whole crypt]

run the event first

[rapid tusk]

For the event do I need to run submarines?

[wind hazel]

no

[sick kettle]

no but you need asw, hedgehog is enough

[whole crypt]

it's actually possible to power through with little to no ASW but for weaker fleets it might be safer to bring 1 of any depth charge on a DD

[rapid tusk]

Ye I got absolutely cooked

[rapid tusk]

What do you mean?

[sick kettle]

you basically able to rawdog the mob fleets if you have a really strong and high level fleet to end the battle as fast as possible before the sub even reach your backlines, but yeah, only if your fleets are strong enough

[whole crypt]

you don't have to kill everything before the subs hit because you can survive a couple, and at lower difficulties even vanilla ASW can shave a fair bit off, but the weaker your fleet the less headroom you have to do without proper ASW

[wind hazel]

you should have improved depth charge from clearing 4-1, use it on laffey

or helena, idk who uses it better shouldnt matter too much

which map are you doing now?

[rapid tusk]

What main gun should I run on laffey?

[rapid tusk]

C1. Only just started the event

[ivory pawn]

Well there’s part of your problem. Do A1.

Find out if you can do C1 after you clear B3.

[wind hazel]

rob this from portland for the time being

craft all tier1 to tier2, then all tier2 to tier3 techbox, then open all the t3 techbox

[rapid tusk]

Yep done that

Should I enhance it? I haven't enhanced any gear yet

[wind hazel]

the main guns to +6 should be enough

and your planes of course. your defensive aux too

[rapid tusk]

How do I access A1?

[wind hazel]

/hardmode toggle it

[odd root]

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

[ivory pawn]

A1 is C1 on Normal.

[rapid tusk]

Ahh my bad. Thanks guys

[trim depot]

what is the point of island planner?

is it just basically a different minigame

[wind hazel]

kinda yeah. it has some gem but it takes a long time to get them, and it's not many either

[onyx jacinth]

Is level limit locked behind the limit break in all rarity?

[wind hazel]

no, META and UR can go to lv100 without any limit break

[onyx jacinth]

That's what i was thinking as UR buling are so hard to get

[wind hazel]

not that hard, just time consuming

you get to buy at least 2 every month if you grind the 5k, and buy the 3k spcore from medal shop

ur event and reruns each give 1, cruise pass give 1, so more or less 2.5 every month

[onyx flame]

shipyards ships also ignore it

[wind hazel]

i dont think so

[wind hazel]

actually you're right

i was thinking about their dev level needing lv lol

[onyx jacinth]

Fleet technology ships?

[onyx flame]

gotta get that dev 0 lvl 120 gascogne

[onyx jacinth]

How the leveling after 100 level works?

[wind hazel]

same, you just need to awaken them to go beyond lv100, otherwise they will accumulate exp but stuck at lv100

[onyx flame]

ships you get from here

[wind hazel]

every 5 level you need to awaken them

[onyx jacinth]

I am just stuck in unlocking sp event stages, i don't have enough ship leveled up to fill the requirements of D3

[wind hazel]

either expbooks them or raise them at d1/d2 if you can do them with the lower lv ships

[onyx jacinth]

I don't even fill the requirements of C2 too , i didn't set up 2nd fleet team and now i am stuck with low oil and have nothing to do

[whole crypt]

it do be like that earlier in the game

[true lichen]

If i have 100 medals right now, should i buy any of the ships i dont own or buy bulins? Or keep for next month so i can buy those ur bulin cores thingies again

[wind hazel]

what ships do you have on the medal shop

[wind hazel]

buy sandiego, grind remaining 60 medals, buy kazagumo

should be doable with event drop rate

[true lichen]

Okay thank you 😃san diego should retrofit to ur right. Is the other ship also that good

[wind hazel]

good for IJN CV fleet, also good torp stats padder if you ever need it for hard mode requirement

[true lichen]

Understood, ty sir

[ivory hearth]

Hi I just started, I got lexington II, should i keep pullling in the current banner? Or should I try to save

[woven star]

Save. Unless still don't have cowpens

She good too

[ivory hearth]

I dont have cowpens

should i try to pull for cowpens?

[woven star]

How many cubes left?

[ivory hearth]

50

[woven star]

Save I guess

[ivory hearth]

kk

[viscid swift]

kinda debatable whether Guam is more useful than Cowpens

[whole crypt]

no guarantees on getting cowpens but I'd say it's ok to keep doing at least 1 event build a day for daily

[ivory hearth]

alright ty

and what is the priority for event shop

[whole crypt]

just decide if you want to push your luck any further on the last day if cowpens doesn't drop by then
check datamine for shop priority

[ivory hearth]

tyty

[broken swan]

I have been trying for 15 minutes to get to this screen, but no matter where I click or how I enter meta showdown I literally can not get to this screen. How the heck do I get here so I can start challenging Yorktown Meta?

[woven star]

If he had 150-200 cubes I'd say spend 60 for cowpens. But with 50 he can have 150-200 cubes for next rerun which has better chance for guam

[broken swan]

No matter how I enter the meta stuff, it always takes me here and the only other option is to fight the world boss.

[knotty jolt]

You need to kill your dossier fight before you can start another meta fight

[woven star]

Get fight with Helena meta. And defeat her. Next you get choice to swap on yourk

[broken swan]

Ahhh. Jesus I didn't even remember that. It's been like 2 years since I did OpSci. Thanks guys.

[woven star]

You just selected dossier boss so have no chance to swap now

[eternal pine]

are any of the war archive ships good?

[low basin]

When is Laffey 2 rerun?

[knotty jolt]

Seydiltz for pvp, Chapy with her augment is good but why would you get her? tbh most war archive ships are just for collection tech

[tulip tinsel]

jan 15

[eternal pine]

is this real

[wind hazel]

yes

[ivory hearth]

is boise meta good?

[pale mason]

is it a UR exchange event like on her release?

[tulip tinsel]

probably, first double UR rerun so we don't know yet

[pale mason]

oh who's the other UR rerun, guam?

[tulip tinsel]

Guam in gacha, laffey2 in shop

[pale mason]

i have like 20 cubes, its doomed
last 3 URs took me all the way to 200 😭

[tulip tinsel]

you get like 40 tickets=40 free pulls

[pale mason]

i hope my luck bounces back at some point then in that case

[clear harbor]

My mob fleet is trapped in OpSi. I sped through the dialog thinking it was the kind of trap where I could use another ship to free them by stepping on a panel. It's not the kind of trap I was thinking of. Anyone know how I can free Raff?

[tulip tinsel]

iirc there is one where you have to beat x mobs in the blocked are to get out, might be wrong about that tho

[ocean terrace]

is Raff's chibi that chunky holy

[ebon verge]

there's no option to auto search?

[clear harbor]

iirc there is one where you have to beat x mobs in the blocked are to get out, might be wrong about that tho
That worked! I did not expect to have to Thudnerdome my way out.
there's no option to auto search?
Yeah, it was just cropped out.
is Raff's chibi that chunky holy
Yeah, it's actually kind of annoying that the spirit behind her obstructs the square above her. It does go away when I scan, though.

[summer patio]

Is buying another slot worth it? Also should I exchange Pennsylvania with Enterprise when I have an Unicorn, Cowpens and Pennsylvania main fleet?

[viscid swift]

not really if you're f2p

[viscid swift]

you would also not sub out your BB with a CV in campaign

[ocean terrace]

pretty sure you'll want a BB as flag for now, Enty could go in your boss once you make one

[summer patio]

Basically I should make Fleet 2 into my boss fleet? Are there any main things to consider when making a boss fleet?

[tulip tinsel]

2nd fleet not recommended until w9 or w12

[pale mason]

i have these UR gear, along with 6 flapjacks, 3 ryusei, 3 ju-87 in terms of notable research lab gear. what should I make with the blueprints and ordnances I have? i've been saving up for like half a year now lol

[bleak junco]

Oooo, alrighty, does sound interesting. I was just wondering since sometimes the game feels a little bit…. Meh. And I heard some people say certain ships are fun to use on manual and stuff but I forgot which so I just decided to ask

[viscid swift]

you could get your 2nd fire control table for one

[pale mason]

oh that's in gear lab? didn't know

[viscid swift]

core data shop

anyway, another twin 76mm mk37 would be a no brainer

[pale mason]

ok went and bought that didn't know it was there

[pale mason]

that's what, aa?

[viscid swift]

yes

[pale mason]

any other suggestions? i really have no clue what gear to build and i have 25 descriptors still

[viscid swift]

eh, I would very much reccomend sticking to a craft when needed mentality

[eternal pine]

hi roughly how long does it take to reach the late/endgame as a new player?

[viscid swift]

depends on what you define as late/end game

[pale mason]

so that means you think my current set of UR gear is already 'good for now'? alright cool

[forest palm]

one to three months imo

[viscid swift]

mostly yes

[forest palm]

like if we're talking about getting to W14+, CMs, HABTR, and so on

[pale mason]

what in the bug did i just run into, i can click buttons on my homescreen if i click where they would be, but none of them are showing

[bleak junco]

I think that happens when you exit out of something you clicked on too quickly? Or something? Don’t know why it happens but did you close and reopen the game?

[pale mason]

yeah i never ran into this before, im restarting game to fix

[prime quartz]

my team is like this atm, is there any ships i should put into my team? im in map 8

pls help🥺🥺

[viscid swift]

you can start leveling Cowpens on the side for your 2nd fleet

[prime quartz]

oki! only her? the other 3 is not that good? i mean i know they are good vs light but 🥺

is my team alright atm?

[pale mason]

lexington won't really be useful until you max limit break her
essex needed other eagle union carriers to be effective iirc
ticonderoga would only replace pennsylvania but not really ideal since you won't have a good flagship
(someone correct me if im completely wrong)

[prime quartz]

i see, thank you!

[ivory pawn]

Essex needs retrofit, which requires an event only item that won’t rerun until next Autumn.

[pale mason]

i wonder if they'd add it to core dataproto shop or something

[ivory pawn]

Team is good for now btw, but like Cheeky said good to start leveling Cowpens and maybe some other character on the side.

[ivory pawn]

Protocore shop, for Spec Core. Like Sandy’s. Hopefully like Eldridge’s will be next year.

[pale mason]

mecklenberg > gouden for pr8 DR priority right? was thinking of using my series 8 bps

[prime quartz]

oki! im doing so but its really imbalance rn

ill try to reach map 9 before anything...

i wanna get something that is better than penny but idt i have one yet -.-

[white agate]

@slow fox the Nana person link on your Notes links to scamsite or ads, i think they changed dominium

[ivory pawn]

Cross your fingers to get BBs in the medal shop in a few days. 🤞

[tulip tinsel]

top tier UR BB's should rerun next year

[white agate]

also does eldridge ehp account for her rng invincibility?

[ivory hearth]

btw is there a tier list i can reference off of?

also is volga good?

[cobalt gate]

man i hate enemy torpedo

[untold sierra]

Hi guys, I have a problem related to this tech, can you help me?

[viscid swift]

what tech?

[viscid swift]

this helps give you an idea of the potential of ships
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[stark quiver]

[untold sierra]

Iris and iron blood

[summer patio]

What does marrying a shipgirl do? Improve any stats or sum?

[soft raft]

Fairly small stat buff, slightly faster morale recovery, and if they have one, a oath skin is unlocked

[untold sierra]

I increased Jean Darc's level to 70, but the increase didn't work.

[ivory hearth]

tysm

[summer patio]

How common are oath skins? Are they, like, marriage skins?

[soft raft]

The tech point bonuses are on obtain, MLB (Note: Not the same as just reaching lvl 70), and lvl 120

[slow fox]

Thank

[hollow gust]

Tech comes from Obtain MLB 120

[soft raft]

Not all ships have oath skins
And yes they are wedding skins

[light trail]

now that there's another UR sub torp other than 95kai (the g7e rainbow), is i-404's best rich person setup still 2x 95kai or is it 2x g7e (UR)?

[summer patio]

Thank youu!!! : )))
Also I'm sorry if I'm asking too many questions, I started playing the game and I'm obsessed with it, and I keep asking questions from hour to hour

[cobalt gate]

new one is better for bosses that don't stay still

[untold sierra]

Oh dear

[elfin hollow]

Why does the coordinate count not go up any higher than this? I collected the full 200 for the day.

[light trail]

does the quicker rld on the new UR sub torp mean more damage overall than 95kai

[cobalt gate]

but you need to +13 them since i think at +12 its only like 3% better than bidder +13

[light trail]

if i dont have bidder +13 it's already an upgrade

so im guessing generally new sub torp better?

[cobalt gate]

most should wait till chap 16 is out

[viscid swift]

https://youtu.be/6ClGiEc9vp8?si=ldXPf5OGK8BEpq1N

[untold sierra]

Okay, so how much does it increase? For example, I set the Z23 to 120, or how much power does the socket provide?

[light trail]

i have a ton of torp shit i have not been using, just sitting on

[forest palm]

only thing of value to come from GL update was the Quad 152

[hollow gust]

that is varied across different ships, backlines and higher rarity give more. You can find all values by clicking the research tab and then fleet tech

[untold sierra]

Thanks bro

[cobalt gate]

so each individaul is kinda low, its around a 3% increase for heavey/medium armor per torp at +13 vs bidder +13 and 5% for light armor bosses

the annoying thing about sub torps is not a lot of place to use them

no ex, no meta boss, no hardmode. mainly just hardmode opsi and new chapter

[light trail]

exactly what i was hoping to know lol, ty suchi.

what content lets you use subs vs single target bosses other than opsi tho? bc of that i dont feel like i need to consider non-moving single target damage

if it's only opsi always, i dont even need to minmax sub damage for that so there'd be no reason for me to consider ST damage

[cobalt gate]

well this one is mag

[viscid swift]

CM I guess

[light trail]

i see. isnt challenge mode just for fun anyway tho

i dont particularly care for CM much since it doesnt give anything iirc

[loud scarab]

for the second copy of the shop UR, is it 10 points per day for 8 more days left right?

[cobalt gate]

yeah

[loud scarab]

k thanks for confirming

[eternal basalt]

In the last event it stopped after 14 days though, so

[loud scarab]

what stopped?

[eternal basalt]

UR store event points

[loud scarab]

did the daily mission continue after the maps went unaccesible?

[cobalt gate]

no

[ivory hearth]

btw my ships are having low morale, what should I do other than wait?

[cobalt gate]

but map ends in 1-7 right

[eternal basalt]

Last event was the JP anni btw, another 3 week event

[eternal basalt]

Stuff them in the second dorm level

[ivory hearth]

kk, how do i get decoration token

[eternal basalt]

From commissions, don't think you need it to unlock second level

[ivory hearth]

ty, it says i need to expand first floor to get second level, and expanding first floor needs it

[eternal basalt]

Also the cat dorm give a ton of coins, but you need to visit them for a month before they start

[ivory hearth]

gotchu gotchu

I still have 25k oil, and my main fleets are all low on mood

[loud scarab]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Living_Area#Dorm

[ivory hearth]

🙏

[eternal basalt]

Then just swap to other chars, if you got so much oil

[eternal basalt]

(Doesn't even mention cat, shaking my head )

[loud scarab]

cats aren't in dorm

[ivory hearth]

yeah but i dont have any usable one since im a newb and dont have xp to level up ships, besides i dont have a lot of ships unfortunately

if i leveled them up itd be kinda a waste

[eternal basalt]

Eventually you want all leveled 120, and wasting oil is a bigger waste

[ivory hearth]

wait what? like every ship 120?

ok ok, that’s enlightening, thx for letting me know lol

[loud scarab]

i would consider that minmaxing but yeah, you get some ingame reward for getting any ship to 120

[ivory hearth]

what do i exchange here? I don’t have any of these

[loud scarab]

i don't really personally know which meta are better than other meta ship, you can try searching for "meta" in https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home and see which are rated higher

[stark quiver]

none

[ivory hearth]

why is that?

[eternal basalt]

"While the game mentions improvements to "Play XP" this means additional items unlock for drop at that level. Base level will grant 1 Cat Quick Finisher per cat, the first upgrade adds a possibility of 1 Dorm Token per cat and the 2nd update grants 2 Cat Quick Finishers and 1-2 possible Dorm Tokens per cat."
(didn't let me take a pick, tommorrow)

[peak fable]

none of the ships are useful, but you can still pick them up if you want to, you will eventually want to 120 them as well, but that will be very far down the line

[ivory hearth]

got it, thank you. Also, for the elite ship exchange in guild shop, I have helena london arizona and unicorn, who else should i exchange?

[loud scarab]

ah i see what you meant now

[eternal basalt]

Note the META ships take NO DOCK and just getting one gives you rewards, as each new ship does (excluding kids, muse and collab).

[ivory hearth]

kk, thanks

[peak fable]

whoever you want or need, if not dupes for what you already have. The guild shop doesn't have any important units aside of Helena and Unicorn, so anything else is optional.

[ivory hearth]

kk, thank u

[peak fable]

is Kansas gun bad, if I am not running a specific synced setup

[loud scarab]

what shop has indy? (core data)

[hollow gust]

total pos

its like 5 seconds slower then champog

[eternal basalt]

No shop
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Indianapolis
You get her on the second day though, so you're a one-day player or...?

[loud scarab]

i meant indipendence, i guess it's shortened to indep or something else?

[eternal basalt]

First time ever I see indy being used for independance
But yeah, core shop. Not a single other place.

[summer patio]

What are some good ways to get loads of coins? Just cleared 5-2, new beginner

[eternal basalt]

12-4, or any other level chap 9+

[summer patio]

Okay, so I gotta blitz to chap 9?

[undone plover]

farm event right now

[summer patio]

Is it hard?

[undone plover]

there is easy maps
farm the highest u can

[summer patio]

Thank youuu : )))

[white agate]

btw, i know my account is mid, but isn't there any drawback in sharing the user uid under the #rubberjuu-new-outfit event?
or does AL work differently from other games

[eternal basalt]

Event drops crap coins though, you can get 10000 in shop though

[stark quiver]

people get to add you and use your uid for god knows what
but nothing bad will happen
and no one will care much

[tawdry sluice]

Just wanting to make sure, this is a 3 week event? I've been busy over the holiday so haven't been able to play as much or log in

[undone plover]

It is 3 weeks yes

[tawdry sluice]

Thanks so much for the answer, was really worried about it

[eternal pine]

is this decent for a new player?

[undone plover]

Repulse is not
Pennsylvania is better

[eternal pine]

where can I get them?

[undone plover]

Otherwise looks good
Do your pulls on event maybe u got Lexington or cowpens

[eternal pine]

oh I got lexington already

[undone plover]

I would use her tbh
U can probably limit break her as u go

Penny is in guild shop

Show me who else u got

Maybe lexy too expensive for now

[eternal pine]

who do I replace for them?

[undone plover]

Repulse -> penny

But show me your dock
If u made some pulls u could have decent ships

[eternal pine]

@undone plover

[hollow gust]

use your pennsylvania, the guide literally tells you the ship with pictures....

actually look into the guide that was given instead of taking shortcuts

[viscid swift]

we have definitely had this conversation before

[undone plover]

i thought u had UR lexington
but purple lexy still better than long island anyway (i think)

[hollow gust]

at this point ignore them, its literally rage bait, posted the same exact picture 4 times in the 24 hours with the same exact question

[undone plover]

lets be nice it is the holiday season guys

[hollow gust]

legit just look at their comment history

[eternal pine]

are you dumb or just stupid

[stark quiver]

damn

[hollow gust]

do you want me to screenshot every single time you post medicore fleets, dont listen to a single reponse, post a slightly modified shit fleet with the same exact question?

or should i screenshot the fact you already have a older accounts, do the same thing,post medicore fleets for correction, not follow a single comment?

[tall kite]

Hey

I just fully limit broke Trafalgar and Essex(Retrofit) and I was wondering if I should use them in my fleets

[hollow gust]

dependent on content , but very likely yes

[tall kite]

Should I replace Laffey with Trafalgar

[hollow gust]

starter laffey or laffey 2

[tall kite]

How does replacing ships work? Should I just replace a DD

[tall kite]

Starter Laffey

[hollow gust]

you replace ships that do similar things

like for trafalgar she is a damage amp with alot of utlities, which generally makes her a helena replacement for newer players

[tall kite]

I do not use Helena, let me link my thread

My fleets and what I have, wanting to add Essex and Trafalgar or more

[eternal basalt]

Replace Laffey with Laffey the 15th

[mighty tulip]

Does everyone just disassemble grey gears?

Okay I was like i’m 125/300

Idk what gears to keep but I feel I just wanna get rid of the grey ones

[ivory pawn]

Most blues too tbh, but there's a couple you really want to keep around.

[mighty tulip]

Are there guides for it?

[ivory pawn]

/equip

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Equipment Guides and Tier Lists

🔹 Equipment picture guide by samheart564
🔹 Quick Gear Guide by elp
🔹 Full details on equipment statistics
🔹 List of equipment safe to scrap by thebombzen
🔹 Augment modules guide

use /tierlist for list of ships TLs and guides
use /guide for list of other gameplay guides and FAQs

[ivory pawn]

Safe to scrap, second from the bottom. It's mostly about purples/golds, but there's a list of what blues to keep in there too.

[mighty tulip]

If it's blue-rarity then keep in mind that the Ar 197, the Ar 195, and the He-50b all craft into useful items in the gear lab.

How do you craft gears?

[knotty jolt]

Two ways gear lab and prints

[sweet delta]

You open the gear lab?

[ivory pawn]

First you unlock the Gear Lab at commander level 60, then you farm materials for it in Operation Siren also unlocked at commander level 60.

[mighty tulip]

Oh i’m lvl 51, I only know about the prints

Is Operation Siren hard? For context I can full auto C1 in the event right now.

[knotty jolt]

Considering your point of progression it'd be semi hard

Very much doable but it'd likely not be enjoyable

[eternal basalt]

Some stuff is, some isn't

[ivory pawn]

It scales up to pretty hard. If you have Unicorn retrofitted you can get through quite a large chunk of it.

[sweet delta]

Opsi is like level 110-120 content to have an efficient time

[eternal basalt]

Remember, it was made in 2020, power increased a lot for players since then

[knotty jolt]

I'd say the only things that'd be of any trouble would be abyssals, strongholds, and maybe the middle zones unless you cranked it hard on adaptibility

[eternal basalt]

And damn puzzles, sudden level increase bastards for ZERO rewards

[mighty tulip]

I need a lot of T3 AA Gun parts, I was told to also take it easy on retrofitting Uni also because my acc is less than 2 weeks 💀

I’m addicted…

[knotty jolt]

Whoever said take it easy on retrofitting is an idiot

[hollow gust]

i mean if you can max a uni , you max your uni

[knotty jolt]

Max that uni out asap, she'll carry you through the entire game easily

[ivory pawn]

Retrofitting Unicorn is quite possibly the single biggest jump in account power you can get reliably early on.

[mighty tulip]

I guess i’ll exchange my universal parts to get that going

[eternal basalt]

Freaking uni helped me with 14-4H, it's good for you

[mighty tulip]

My Uni is lvl 83 right now

[knotty jolt]

Honestly feels like uni is never gonna be power crept

[eternal basalt]

We thought so with Perseus

[knotty jolt]

[mighty tulip]

After event ends and I can do chapter 9, who should I train for 2nd fleet?

[knotty jolt]

I can only think of nelson, enty, souryuu/ark royal as a backline idk who'd you have as vanguard

also what have you been doing to have the fox sisters already?

[sweet delta]

Just wait for monthly shops reset before planning

The only near certain choices now are enterprise and clevemeta

[mighty tulip]

Idr if you were in the convo when I initially came to discord, but I was leveling up 2 fleets early on and people said don’t do that. I was hard running ch3 to make a mob fleet to handle ch 4z

Then when I stopped I was able to just run thru ch5 and 6 with main so people said I can just run event with my one fleet

I also didn’t realize you can still fight things with 0 ammo 💀

[slow fox]

yes

[serene moth]

it it worth to farm the bp plane that drops in the event, if so how many should i try to get?

[eternal basalt]

Not really, you can do it throughout 2026 in WA

[sweet delta]

Yes, you probably only have time for 1 if you tryhard now, or 2 if you no life. It also drops from war archives parallel superimposition, but of course that's limited in tries

[stark quiver]

i got 4 in 5 days

[serene moth]

aight

[ivory pawn]

Yes, but how much has been a source of debate.
Personally, I vote look at how many prints you need at 55k. If it's not a lot keep farming to finish another.

[sweet delta]

You squared the no life part

[undone sluice]

36 pools, 2 Lexington, 0 cowpens, I'm in despair

[viscid swift]

I think you're looking for #trophy-room or #al-general

[quartz island]

is there a list of candidate teams to one-shot YorkM with? Preferably without Lex2 since I'm not done levelling her yet

[undone sluice]

oh sry 😓

[viscid swift]

check the pins in this channel, we should have something there

[rapid yoke]

Would laffey 2's event have a rerun?

[stark quiver]

Yeah on the 15th

[turbid dawn]

Stupid question, is there a way to see which ships you’ve gotten to 120?

I’ve lost count of which commons+rares I’ve done

[knotty jolt]

ingame fleet tech/collection area technically works

if it's 120 it'll show the tech bonus for it

[turbid dawn]

Oh here? Have I gotta check each one by one?

[knotty jolt]

I literally can't think of anything else but this.

Cause only other options woulda been to have manually kept track with like a 120 checker tracker site

[turbid dawn]

I mean scrolling through it yeah of we’re not including the 4 I haven’t acquired I’m only missing 11 it seems but I don’t have them in dock so gotta grind for them again ig

For the main fleet anyways

(Still haven’t pulled Centaur even though I’ve played for like 4 years)

[knotty jolt]

still missing Libeccio, an elite italian dd in light pool and Cavalla, an american sub only from war archives

[turbid dawn]

I lied I’m missing 5 but I dont think muse ships were in the fleet tech

[modest moat]

fargo drone for yorktown meta or no?

[sweet delta]

It's an airplane, doesn't count

[modest moat]

bummer

[bleak junco]

This is random to point out but you have the lucky numbers!! 777 ships!!!!

[sweet delta]

The Tempesta treasure chest does count as an ally.
The problem is that it gets destroyed in about 20s

[honest mortar]

does operation siren reset in 6 hours or 1 day + 6 hours?

[primal delta]

Would someone be available to help me with fleet building please?

[viscid swift]

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

[stable bloom]

I think it's mostly to do with certain shipgirl skills they can be quite fun to combine with others and some look really cool

[next escarp]

Hi, I might miss this on Sushigummy's guide. Does it also include the Meowfficer details?

[bleak junco]

Yessss, I’m not sure which shipgirls and their skills would be fun to combine with others tho, which is why I decided to ask which would be most fun to use lol

[dark hazel]

do /cats in #bot-spam

[ivory sigil]

sorry i feel abit loss, at the end of the month what should i do again for opsi?

[weary gust]

Everything you haven't done and spend all ap.

[rapid summit]

Does opsi end tomorrow or next update?

[rapid grail]

day after tomorrow

[rapid summit]

Aight

[ivory sigil]

For fleetcross ability, does they need to be alive/not in toll-of-war to available?

[whole crypt]

yes

[ivory sigil]

oops, accidentally let willyD got toll of war, but i think her fleetcross isnt that big of a deal right?

she just appear like a marisa shooting star etc and gone

what about independant fleetcross? I never seen it appear in battle despite i do had her

[stark narwhal]

should i swap someone on my vanguard for william d porter?
ive got tohka, kurumi, and san diego (not full retro, working on it)

[weary gust]

Independence's cross-fleet ability is a damage buff, it is always active and there's no barrage with it.

[ivory sigil]

Depend on what you are using them for, tanky or dps-wise:
-WillyD are DD, her eHP is lower and she often use when u wanna buff your ally MAINfleet, or for USS ally ability

-Tohka is tankiest of the selection here, she provide shield that if break, destroy surrounding projectiles, and return with waves damage. She also give proper dps upon highdamage received
-Kurumi isn't that tanky, but in return she get revive as long as her ability clone is still alive, her clone is also very efficent in protecting MAINfleet against suicide boat
-San diego isnt that necessary as tank, she is more on AA side which is often use in campaign w13-w14

(These advice are assuming u had them all Max Limitbreak + BestInSlot augment for them)

[whole crypt]

is your WDP MLB
and what is this fleet for

[stark narwhal]

"-San diego isnt that necessary as tank, she is more on AA side which is often use in campaign w13-w14" someone told to me retro her, should i continue to go towards that or?

[whole crypt]

Sandy isn't really a tank ship but yes she is a great pick for ch13 onwards

[stark quiver]

kimocheese has a better acct than me

[stark narwhal]

campaign clearing, and no

[ivory sigil]

Until you reach w13-w14 you will understand her importance
If for lower chap, it mean not yet, Tohka is the better choice here, But kurumi also suitable as well

[whole crypt]

more specifically she buffs AVI and RLD, also it's only "always" active if she's alive

[whole crypt]

avoid using ships that are not MLB
Tohka/Sandy/Kurumi is fine to keep using for now

[ivory sigil]

If not sandy, pick a tankier option, guam/laffeyII are good replacement, or portland/helena if u dont have other choice

[whole crypt]

???

but we're not using San Diego as a tank

Helena is also not more durable

[ivory sigil]

okay then, perhaps @stark narwhal you can wait till 15th January, there should be a rerun banner of Guam/Laffeyii, they are UR and provide best Tankiness for the campaign. I hope you had at least 400 cube or near it to prepare to roll for them.

-# i hope laffeyii are free like before too

[whole crypt]

like sure he should be pulling those 2 but if WDP isn't MLB he's probably also not going to be LBing Guam and Laffey II to replace anyone right away
I don't see the point of the recommendations

[rigid onyx]

since when was kurumi not considered tanky

[whole crypt]

notably there's 0 context of him having trouble with his current fleet, he's likely just asking if he should use a rainbow to replace anyone in his current lineup, to which the answer is no if not MLB or not suitable for setup

[stark quiver]

today apparently

but its fine cuz i have no clue what you guys are talking about

[whole crypt]

Kurumi is stupid levels of durable in mobbing

[dawn mauve]

Guys, between warspite and Z23 (Retrofit).. which one i need to give the Augment first?

[whole crypt]

neither

unique augments are expensive, there might be better places to spend the resources

[whole crypt]

specifically unless you're having trouble with the current fleet just stick with it, even with Guam and Laffey II you won't be using them straight away
if you have problems clearing stuff then maybe ask again, and we'll see what's wrong with the setup

[ivory sigil]

-# well if he somewhat MLB willyD then that's on his fault then, since MLB guam/laffey2 is surely the better choice here (this assume he didnot had a Lexi2/yorktown2 team)
It would be better if he posts a pic of his fleet and dock

[dawn mauve]

Well but i don't know where to spend my resources now

Maybe until i reach lv 50

Planning to retrofit Warspite too, so..

And where i can find list new banner/rerun for future?

[rigid onyx]

imo the hardest part of the game to get resources is the first 3 months so it's well advised to just follow boilerplate advice and then after you stabilize you can have projects

spootkai is super resource intensive

[dawn mauve]

Boilerplate advice?

[ivory pawn]

Basic, standardized, boring, take your pick.

[ivory sigil]

there is no need to pick plymouth right? when will she available for coin-up?

[ivory pawn]

Should be next month or so. Could get you a head start on her prints, but yeah I'd also skip this close.

[stark quiver]

do you even have her

[ivory sigil]

I feel loss at 70k event pts but not many BPs,
how many event pts u had and how much BPs you had for 2nd HVAR atm ?

[ivory sigil]

nah the Faction tech is too farfetch, i not even capable of unlock any PR2 ship yet

[stark quiver]

1 hvar is enough for current pvp meta

[stark quiver]

either take the cuniberti research or rigging

[primal delta]

I had a read but I'm still a bit unsure on which of my ships would be best suited to the roles.

[whole crypt]

warspite is expensive to retrofit and her retrofit is disappointing
just find a better BB to use
Z23 will be replaced fairly easily as well
the coins can probably be better spent elsewhere than crafting unique augment for these 2

[ivory sigil]

mori suggest i took the rigg, so i usually take it whenever my coin is empty or else i just took the cunibert

[whole crypt]

rigging is good for gear

[rain bobcat]

well even without coin issue I wouldn't take cuniberti

[ivory sigil]

does muse$ character doesnt provide anything? no fleet-tech, no faction-score?

[stark quiver]

collection %

[whole crypt]

muse have no tech at all, but they count to collection and also count for XP to PR if right faction/slot

[primal delta]

How do these two fleets look?

[whole crypt]

Unzen is not a tank and she's not MLB

Hakuryuu is also not complete

[rain bobcat]

using hakuryuu without mlb is quite a decision to say the least

[whole crypt]

would also be useful if there's some context what you're doing with these fleets

[primal delta]

Mob and main respectively.

[primal delta]

Max limit break?

[soft raft]

(For research ships, D10 = LB1, D20 = LB2, and D30 = MLB)

[primal delta]

Why shouldn't ships be used before they're maxed?

[soft raft]

Because they're missing large chunks of their kit otherwise

Namely stuff like Main Gun Mounts, # of planes, and the efficency % on equipment mounts which heavily affect a ship's damage output

For UR CVs, their obligatory flexible slot is also often locked at MLB

[primal delta]

Right, okay. Unzen isn't a tank also? I had assumed any CAs were able to be used as tanks.

[soft raft]

That's not how hulltypes work

Unzen is roughly as tanky as Portland (or slightly more tanky) which is pretty damn low for a UR CA

And her main focus is more on mega stonks Torp DPS

[uneven cave]

Laughs in London

[primal delta]

Lmao, I thought Portland was a tank too.

[viscid swift]

Portland is the baseline of roughly what we consider to be a tank

[primal delta]

So do I just have to go through ships looking at their hp then, regardless of class?

[viscid swift]

well it's more than just eHP

[primal delta]

So Portland is a tank but Unzen isn't?

Is it because of abilities or something?

[viscid swift]

how do I put this

Portland is only good at being a tank whereas Unzen can be built for DPS

[whole crypt]

that I can tell it's more of what stage are you using the fleets in

[viscid swift]

and Unzen is farm more valuable as DPS than as a tank

[primal delta]

Idk really, I guess I was just going to use them broadly?

[viscid swift]

it's just best not to generalize capabilities by hull types

[soft raft]

No
Looking at only the stats is also the wrong way of doing this

You mainly have to evaluate their skills since those are the defining factors behind what any given ship specializes in

[rain bobcat]

I mean ur also missing hp from mlb so rn she's effectively less tanky than portland

[whole crypt]

anything you can use a generic setup just means the stage isn't hard enough to matter

[primal delta]

So I look at their abilities to determine if they'd be suitable to tank?

[whole crypt]

or you look at this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HF6_hLEB8m_v0stp4DLGnIoDjgojvo7fjYz-cysjTMc/edit?usp=sharing

[primal delta]

I'm at stage 13 now so I guess that then?

[viscid swift]

you have to account for their HP, luck, eva stats as well as skills

[whole crypt]

in which case what you need isn't shiny, what you need is AA

[viscid swift]

I have a broad overview on W13 fleet building in the progression guide

[primal delta]

What does ehp mean?

[viscid swift]

effective hp

[primal delta]

I'll be real, I have no idea how to read that lmao.

[whole crypt]

oh cheeks wrote the progression guide?

[stark quiver]

same

[viscid swift]

yes....

[primal delta]

Is there a difference between ehp and hp?

[rain bobcat]

portland is 100%, anything higher than 100% is ok for tanking

[viscid swift]

HP is just the raw HP stat, eHP refers broadly to how much damage they can actually tank

[rain bobcat]

there's this thing called evasion and skills

[primal delta]

Ah okay, that makes it easier.

[whole crypt]

well it's on stig's site, I didn't read 🇪 🇳

[viscid swift]

I mean quite a few of the guides on his site were written in part anyway by me
