[valid forge]

best ship to pick from wish-willing card?
helpers seeing this question for like 10th time this day ig

[woven star]

@valid forge I think between impero and Richelieu for fleet tech as they hard to get. Many other from other sources.

[valid forge]

uh im not a helper here

[valid forge]

okay

fair

[woven star]

Kuybyshev from light drop. Zeppelin from WA. Bismarck, Belfast from medal shop. S. Dakota from merit. So left two others from special and heavy pull

[slender turtle]

Im almost done with pr8, should ai go back to pr7 im assuming for la9s and the ships?

[rain bobcat]

how many meck guns you have

[slender turtle]

Need 1 more print for second, game has been quite stingy with prints the last week or so

[rain bobcat]

I would get a third if you plan to make lion meck zwei ur main fleet

[slender turtle]

I dont see why I would want a third if that other medium gun exists

The raff gun

[rain bobcat]

because the same medium gun is horrible at heavy

[slender turtle]

Im never going to use bbs for heavy tbh

I have the ijn sisters for that

[sweet delta]

the IJN sisters shinano Musashi yamato

[rain bobcat]

by that same reasoning you wont need to go to pr7 because lion meck zwei demolishes light and medium competition

just overall depends on what you want to use for armours

[slender turtle]

Well I kinda need la9s and the ships from pr7 it seems like, never really got to get deep in pr7 cause pr8 kinda started pretty soon into me playing the game

[rain bobcat]

upto you if you like nakhimov

[slender turtle]

And is that even true for medium armor? Guess it would depend on the boss

[rain bobcat]

sonaru doesn't beat lion meck zwei and that's already with raff gun+4 la-9s lol

[sweet delta]

It doesn't?

[rain bobcat]

every single la9 you miss also heavily fucks your dmg

sonaru goes from one shotting to not one shotting with just 1 la-9 not +13 or completely missing

[stark quiver]

this comp works 5% of the time

[rain bobcat]

[slender turtle]

Just think it would be kinda a waste to go for 3rd meck gun if I don’t have the pr7 ships done and no la9s lol

[rain bobcat]

is there a no lion comp that kills consistently outsde of sonaru

[sweet delta]

At the beginning of the day we have zero idea what future bosses will cook, and I'd rather have a second la9 than a third meck gun

[sweet delta]

funny guy using nepgun

And hsfcr

[stark quiver]

fcr is now an afct tyvm

[small quarry]

There is a chance of returning the San Diego Retrofit item, the event. ''Sparkling Battle Star''... 2000 S.core It's half the price of a Bullin UR lol

[stark quiver]

nah

[versed forum]

should i buy gold blanks? i don't raise pr ships that much maybe don't need it and don't have enough medals

[sweet delta]

Skippable

[hallow spoke]

how do you have so much gold

[rain bobcat]

not that hard

I profit 100k every week

[hallow spoke]

wha how

from what??

[rain bobcat]

stages

[hallow spoke]

😭 im only at w8

[south sequoia]

Once you get to w9+ its basically hard to be broke in coins

because of clearing rewards

[hallow spoke]

:0

hitting chapter 9 is gonna be easy

all i need is level 65

btw the lower the T for the gear the better right?

[eternal moth]

Not exactly. T0 is good, as is T3

[hallow spoke]

theres only 3 tiers?

the white shell is really good tho

[eternal moth]

4. 0, 1, 2, and 3

[hallow spoke]

so 3 is best

the lower the seconds/wave the btter ribht?

[eternal moth]

T0 is generally best, but that's mostly from PR. T3 is best in a lot of cases

[hallow spoke]

ooo okay

i see people with gear that are 0.8s/wave, so the lower the better?

[eternal moth]

It really depends on the ship and gear piece in question.

[hallow spoke]

hmmm okay

what are these tiers bru 😭 i swear i rmb seeing t10

[eternal moth]

Unfortunately, different ships want different pieces of gear. Some want really fast guns, some want high-damage guns, etc

[hallow spoke]

and how do i know which wants which

why cant i play azur lane on bluestacks, this is buns

[rain bobcat]

mumu

[eternal moth]

You can play on Bluestacks, but it isn't my recommended emulator. I use Mumu instead, it plays much better

[viscid swift]

[atomic vortex]

Guam who do you think I should invite

Youve seen my dock so I assume you'd know if one was better to get over another

[viscid swift]

they're all just tech, you can also just hold onto it since it doesn't expire

[atomic vortex]

Fair enough

[wicked dove]

How good is Lexington 2?

And can I have some help with fleets?

[hollow gust]

Very, post your fleet in a thread

[tawny plover]

hi guys, ive been playing for years but i kind of stagnated for the last few months, is there a guide or a yt or anythign where i can see optimal setups equipment eq etc?, i have a lot of ships, ressources etc but i kind of dont know what to do, im also kind of stuck at stage 13 because i dont have a better setup, so help is appreciated1

[wicked dove]

Fleet help🙏

[hollow gust]

https://suchiguma.github.io/home/home-page

[tawny plover]

thank you

[clear harbor]

What does Lazy mean?

[late flame]

when you cbf with what equip to switch up* for light/med/heavy

[cobalt gate]

how is william's cross ship?

[chrome fiber]

Halo! Could anyone help me look at what i could replace in to my current mob and boss fleet as the third fleet is ship that im currently leveling up including a shinano that isn't there. thanks.

[late flame]

why would you need a third fleet though

[viscid swift]

what do you intend to use the fleets for

[chrome fiber]

Campaign and siren

[viscid swift]

which stages of the main campaign

[chrome fiber]

13-1

[viscid swift]

might wanna give that a read then
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/#chapter-13

[chrome fiber]

Okayy!

[summer patio]

Guys should I do a random 10-pull, go to sleep, and open it tomorrow?

[clear harbor]

If you have enough quick finishers, you can just open it now if you want. We typically get more quick finishers than we can use.

[summer patio]

Actually? That's awesome! When I first saw the time feature I wanted to quit, honestly, like "oh no here we go again" but now that I see quick finishers and all of that, this is AWESOME. Lesson learned never judge a book by its cover

[verbal plinth]

id keep your cubes for upcoming ur event if you dont need to pull lex

[clear harbor]

Yeah, understandable. Quick finishers are commonly used to gate pulls in other games. Luckily that's not the case with AL. Makes me wonder why they even bother with it at this point.

[chrome fiber]

Okay so i think i undestood a bit better il see what i can do. While doing so could you spot any ship in my fleet that i most likely wouldn't use or need to invest to much in just to get replaced. Or is all of them just fine.

[ivory sigil]

How to get USS faction score like you @ocean terrace ?
i can't reach above 600

[viscid swift]

Strasbourg would be the obvious one

[stable badger]

am i the only one who just freezes? i'm stuck on screen before server choice

[viscid swift]

Amagi BC as well

[stable badger]

and before that, it was stuck on clicking start on a comission

[clear harbor]

What your score at right now? Can you research any USS ships for tech points?

[ivory sigil]

no one beside 1st one (600+)

[proud rose]

mine exited with "login data expired" mid sortie, could be server issues

-Collab ships, Muse and little versions of ships e.g. Li'l Sandy, Clevelad and Lena etc do not give any fleet tech pts.
-Iron Blood faction ships receive double the normal tech points compared to other nations.

[eternal basalt]

Glad I am not the only one with server issues

[viscid swift]

get and max limit break more US ships

[stable badger]

great.. not just general phone issues from everyone calling for new years. but some gacha game also pooped it's pants

[clear harbor]

Oh, my advice wouldn't work anyway. Seattle requires 760 points. I thought there might be some PR1s you could grab.

[viscid swift]

there's a lot you can accumulate

[clear harbor]

They all go to 11.

[ivory sigil]

which fleet tracker site is better ? mrlar or retropaint? or better use both??

[viscid swift]

Mr Lars actually gets updated and doesn't have errors

[ivory sigil]

I can't access yet to worth USS ship in the guide like Enterprise etc

[viscid swift]

there's literally tons of EU ships you can get and MLB

check the various shops and what you already have in dock

[clear harbor]

At a certain point, you'll probably just need to level whoever so you can start researching Anchorage if that's what you're planning on doing.

[ivory sigil]

Is getting laffey2 / guam count as USS factionscore as well?

[ivory pawn]

They're USS ships so...

[clear harbor]

Yeah, the rerun event should help with your fleet tech.

[eternal basalt]

+current event (-meta)

[ivory sigil]

yeah i do but
i got gated by EXP book, i've never had enough to raise 1 or 2 ship to lv70 to MLB them

[ivory sigil]

yes i had MLB them (exclude the UR)

[clear harbor]

Ultimately, you'll get there in time unless you deliberatly avoid USS ships.

[ivory sigil]

hmm should i also buy USS ship in the RNG merit shop too? (assuming i had alot of ⚔️)

[late flame]

which? eldridge?

[ivory sigil]

there is a SouthDakota SR and Morrison Elite

[clear harbor]

Maybe the Guild Shop?

[late flame]

i'd say no unless you want them for tech or something

[rain bobcat]

why so broke on exp book though

[stark quiver]

how much is a lot

[proud rose]

working again

[ivory sigil]

-# pls assume...

-# i've been begging the exercise dude to give more ⚔️ merit pts... mymomma is kinda homeless rn most of my winrate recently are either 98 or 99%

[true zenith]

does the oil -> cube commission show up regularly? is it worth running it if i need more cubes for the guam/laffey2 rerun?

[summer patio]

What do I do with specialized cores? Do they do anything?

[viscid swift]

depends on how much you grind and commission rng but cube commissions I almost always take as a rule of thumb

[viscid swift]

you can buy UR bullins with them among other things

[summer patio]

I mean, I won't have an UR in the foreseeable future anyways

[ivory sigil]

-you can get 5000 monthly max
-you can get via doing map/mission
-it can help you get 1 UR bulin with 4000 point
-it can help you get "limited material" for Retrofit some very old good ship (San Diego) with 1000 point

[eternal basalt]

You're not pkaying now or in February?

[summer patio]

I do, but I kinda blew all my resources on hoping to get Lex II, and, it, well, didn't go out well (did 60 pulls, so yeah, the expected result anyways, I barely started playing the game lol)

[eternal basalt]

Got a week Got tickets for Guam too...

[viscid swift]

there's literally a double UR event ongoing right now

one of which you can get just by grinding

[summer patio]

Wait fr? Which one?

[viscid swift]

William D. Porter, in the event shop

[eternal basalt]

And 15 you get a free Laff2

[summer patio]

Just how mich grinding? And grinding what?

Ah right the event I'm so stupid sorry yall

[true zenith]

this one in particular, ive never run it before so its just sat here :/

[ivory pawn]

There's always a 1000 or so oil commission available, it's normally not worth taking. But that one specifically, might be worth grabbing if you ever have an oil surplus.

[soft raft]

Eh even with a oil surplus, that oil is better spent on grinding

[summer patio]

How do I get the cool event currency specifically needed to get porter? Did some stages but they give the other one I think

[ivory sigil]

Objection 💥:
-It's the best source of UR bulin beside gift/free cruisepass/spending
-Assuming you had access to 1 UR, it need at least 4 UR bulins to MAX Limitbreak, hence it can take you atleast 2 months to do it
-# -this assume you didnt had any copies of UR
-# -also assume you dont have 2 or 3 UR ship to build at once

[summer patio]

Awesome!

[eternal basalt]

Depends how much cubes you got

[soft raft]

You can earn the vochers from a variety of sources

• Daily missions
• One-time missions
• Event shop (150 event pts per pop)
• Clearing the SP map

[summer patio]

Thank you a lot mate!!!

[halcyon nymph]

Who should I pick here?

Kinda newish player.

[late flame]

doesnt matter just go with who you like

[halcyon nymph]

I see. Okay!

[true zenith]

Thanks for the commission advice guys!

I play enough that I can use the 1200 oil but I think I want the cubes more for now

[ivory sigil]

Wait wat they give at least 5 cube for 1200 oil? That insane how to get them

[viscid swift]

if you have the oil tale and never do it again

[viscid swift]

just hold onto it

it never expires

[halcyon nymph]

But your dp says I should get Belfast. 🤭 Okay. Thanks for the info. I'll just hold onto it then.

[viscid swift]

huh

[viscid swift]

yes I know Belfast is on the ticket

[tribal belfry]

yo ghuys is it good time to start?

and if yes what shud i reroll for

[viscid swift]

the best time to start is always asap

no real need to reroll in this game either, you can reroll for Lexington 2 if you so desire

[tribal belfry]

is game fun tho

[stark quiver]

lol

[verbal plinth]

try it and see if you like it

[stray crane]

Maint today ?

[sharp socket]

that depends on you

[viscid swift]

I mean what do you consider or find fun

[proper violet]

When do you get those?

[viscid swift]

no, if there were a maintinence there would be a notification both in game and in the game news channel

[stark quiver]

not doing pvp

[late flame]

-# just observe maintenance spiritually

[rain bobcat]

8hr abstinence

[stark quiver]

hmm now do i wnana brick my acct on +13 seahornet and new db

[viscid swift]

I will not watch you crash and burn again alpa

[stark quiver]

cn made some 🔥 lex cooks

[narrow arch]

Is bismarck good

[stark quiver]

normal bismarck not so good
bismarck zwei good

[narrow arch]

Mhm mhm, is south dakota good

[viscid swift]

no

just hold onto the ticket, all the ships on that ticket are just tech

[narrow arch]

Oh I was planning on getting graff for oath reasons then

[stark quiver]

understandable

[robust plinth]

since the core shop is getting reset tomorrow, should i get rainbow table thingy or items from the monthly shop?

[whole crypt]

table is in corelim you can buy it whenever

[ivory sigil]

does this even worth doing

[whole crypt]

not early on

[wind hazel]

save for unique augments first

like sandiego's, independence's

[ivory sigil]

yeah i got'em

wait bofor is great right?

[balmy skiff]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/460645783021289472/1449226933857550408/Screenshot_2025-11-06_230057.png?ex=69572dc2&is=6955dc42&hm=cf0f30172373518f557dd7ed3227fe47cd457d1957ac29c99ef9a211ad790e2e&
at what tier lexluther 2 would land at?

[wind hazel]

unzen tier fr no 🧢

[viscid swift]

William D. Porter would probably go into the 2nd tier

Lexington 2 might drag herself and Yorktown 2 back up to the 2nd tier as well

[wind hazel]

or maybe with fritz

[ivory sigil]

should i immediate 10+ them?

[wind hazel]

if you dont have other AA guns sure

is hakuhou really 2nd tier material

feel like shinano and hakuhou should go down, unzen go up

[rigid onyx]

do i not see helena feels like she'd slot into the aurora tier

[whole crypt]

Helena is at the bottom

she's transitional because you basically will stop using her once you get kill comps with no radar RNG

[stark quiver]

helena is for noobs

[viscid swift]

it's basically 2 of Amagi CV, Shinano, and Hakuhou for a heavy armor comp

[rain bobcat]

is haku shinano really all rounder

[stark quiver]

no

[viscid swift]

Unzen also didn't impress me in W14

[whole crypt]

Unzen is pretty much heavy boss/fast mobbing

but if you ask me Ibuki does fast mobbing better

[stark quiver]

also why isnt ranger on there

[rigid onyx]

ibuki wins within the first 15s iirc

[whole crypt]

ranger is above this list

[viscid swift]

because I hate RNG and so should you

[rain bobcat]

ibuki wins first 20s over all fast mobbing vg yeah

[stark quiver]

ranger is technically the best backline in game

[rain bobcat]

she just gets hard cucked by single reload and gun damage

[wind hazel]

doesnt that sound like just for heavy armour niche? meanwhile amagi is strong standalone even for campaign

[whole crypt]

Unzen only catches up if the fight lasts long enough for torp reload

[viscid swift]

if I ever bother to do another iteration of that list I'll do it

[rigid onyx]

move bayard into campaign one tricks

[whole crypt]

even then Ibuki has a slight advantage if Unzen's torps are way overkill, plus torp RNG vs Ibuki's directional slash

[viscid swift]

well that was before W14 hard mode came out

[whole crypt]

is there some reason Bayard is good for 14/14H I should be aware of

[rigid onyx]

damn unzen and hind aged really poorly

[rain bobcat]

hinden is still a waifu of mine

[rigid onyx]

good damage

[viscid swift]

truly I was good at predicting tides

[rain bobcat]

I used some giga scuffed fleet to do 15 3 star

eldridge shimanto hinden

[rigid onyx]

feels bad when i like bayard over hinden for campaign stages and the latter is a rainbow

[rain bobcat]

kill everything before you need healing strat

[rain bobcat]

wasn't that the case with scylla for a good bit

[viscid swift]

if they made her not paper then it might be something but

[rain bobcat]

yeah hinden really lacks bulk

[stark quiver]

her skin has enough bulk

[rain bobcat]

they could've just removed her blue skill gimmick

[rigid onyx]

wiggleburg

[viscid swift]

sadly DR fate sims happen as often as new campaign chapters at this point

[rain bobcat]

and outright gave her all the effects

when is next fate sim batch is it on coin up batch

[whole crypt]

to be fair Hindenburg might be good for helping with production Kagerous in 14/14H

[rigid onyx]

fs5 cope: remove blue skill restricton, +5% universal fleet damage buff

[viscid swift]

if they do another DR fate sim that would be when they do it

[whole crypt]

but being relatively paper in offensive loadout is just sad

[viscid swift]

but they haven't even added a DR fate sim consistently every other year

Haku's fate sim was 2023

or was it 2024

[rigid onyx]

it was like 4 months before amagi cv iirc

[viscid swift]

definitely more than 4 months

[whole crypt]

giving Hindenburg FS first is kind of sad for the state of offensive CAs if you compare with Drake

[stark quiver]

wait is agir fs even out

[viscid swift]

no

[rigid onyx]

drake has fs5 no?

[wind hazel]

yes but it's bad, hence compare with drake as CA

[whole crypt]

at least Drake was just given FS ahead of DR2, if they give Hindenburg FS first it'll be ahead of Agir and DR5

[stark quiver]

2035 plans

[rain bobcat]

yeah

[rigid onyx]

idk why they're so stingy with buffs

[stark quiver]

you guys expect too much

[whole crypt]

actually maybe I should test hindenburg in 14H or something but my 14-4 is already -2%

[rain bobcat]

I mean 2% not a lot

[whole crypt]

I'm happy with 14-2 because I need more arms

[rain bobcat]

prob try 14-3? ppl sometimes say its as hard as 14-4

[whole crypt]

I had little trouble with 14-3

[rain bobcat]

lion raff cowpens hindy eld bayard/shim maybe?

[glad light]

so who deserves the HVAR hellcat more: Lexington 2 or Essex?

[stark quiver]

lexington perhaps

[whole crypt]

Shimanto is more of a burn snuffer, you shouldn't need her very much between Cowpens and Raff heals

[stark quiver]

doing 14-4h just reminded me to fuck off from campaign and stick to pvp

[viscid swift]

like this is workable at least

[whole crypt]

neither if it's not in a light boss fleet

[rain bobcat]

yeah that's why Im saying the blue restriction is stupid

[viscid swift]

still though, Bayard is even tankier still and a good chunk of her damage is from barrages which fire in fixed patterns which don't get fucked by concealment

also Kronshtadt and Azuma who

[rain bobcat]

[stark quiver]

azuma good

[fading wolf]

Anyone can check general and help me please?

[soft raft]

Insert Azuma wheelchair joke here

[whole crypt]

to be fair Hindenburg's profile isn't for mobbing DPS it's just maybe ignoring shields helps with shitty rammers in 14

[cobalt robin]

if you need gameplay related help, send it here instead of general

[rain bobcat]

you know I actually thought she was disabled waaaay back

[fading wolf]

Yes my bad i just joined

[stark quiver]

🔥♿

[whole crypt]

the problem is when your profile isn't for mobbing but then there's no place for you in a boss fleet

[wind hazel]

have you seen azuma standing up?

[whole crypt]

on her knees yes

[stark quiver]

no but thats exactly what we need to know to call her a cripple

[cobalt robin]

she would be too powerful on her feet

[viscid swift]

her armor is so bad she may as well be crippled

[fading wolf]

So to get meklenburg fleet tech points which banner am i supposed to do the pulls? I have lots of pulls

[whole crypt]

you're supposed to farm Divergent Chessboard archive

[viscid swift]

you wouldn't pull primarily for fleet tech

[whole crypt]

if you have medals you can check if there's any KMS ships in the shop lineup

[viscid swift]

I also want to emphasize this point

[cobalt robin]

outside of event Ultra rare banners you only do daily pull on the light banner for the daily build mission, getting fleet is a gradual process

it will take you quite a while till you can unlock meck

[whole crypt]

the bottom line is you're not going to be accessing a lot of the newer shiny research ships for quite a while, and even when you have enough tech you won't be able to unlock them on short notice

[cobalt robin]

since you just started, play the game normally and dont worry about shipyard, that'll come way later

[rapid yoke]

May I ask what is the fastest way to level up?

[whole crypt]

pay $5

[cobalt robin]

using a shit load of books, otherwise spamming 12-1, 12-4

[soft raft]

Ship level or commander level?

[rapid yoke]

Not the ships, the commander, sorry mb

[cobalt robin]

pay the 5

[soft raft]

grinding stages with full fleet(s)

[viscid swift]

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

[whole crypt]

you skip like a couple of weeks of commander XP with it

[viscid swift]

I am getting so much use out of this guide

[cobalt robin]

that would be the fastest but if youre already above 70 you wont be getting any exp, just the bullins from the pack

[stark quiver]

i read it

[rapid yoke]

Thank you

[whole crypt]

you're getting so much use out of quoting yourself yes

[stark quiver]

now i can progress through chapters 1-13

[rapid yoke]

I'm level 43 and I need to be level 50 for chapter 7

[whole crypt]

lol all those cute icons

[viscid swift]

that was all Suchi's doing

[cobalt robin]

if you have the $5 to spare, its a pretty good deal, otherwise refer to the screenshot above

[whole crypt]

if you don't want to pay the $5 then it's just grinding
right now the best place to do it will be in the event

[stark quiver]

im broke as shit

[cobalt robin]

[whole crypt]

buy a couple skins or rings less

[viscid swift]

he says before and after buying Lexington's skin

[cobalt robin]

i got a whopping 14k gems left for skins

[whole crypt]

at least when I say I'm broke I don't buy rings or skins I'm just giving the money to bannam instead

and why is that in gph

[cobalt robin]

is buying accounts against TOS? for a lot of games it is..

[whole crypt]

it is

[viscid swift]

alpa wants to get himself bonked

[cobalt robin]

question, as someone who does not have many BB's yet i have been using Pennsylvania on my main fleet and Nevada for my boss fleet, i alsop grabbed Bismarck from the Winter festival, but have no ironblood carriers yet. should i keep using Penn/Nevada or would getting Maryland or Grinding for Nelson be better?

[stark quiver]

THis man lost to whitefoxy

[wind hazel]

getting nelson or maryland would be an upgrade

[stray frost]

Depends on the level of the ships

[whole crypt]

keep using Pennsylvania unless she's capped
OG Bismarck is pretty much just a tech ship and you want to save your SR bulins for good SRs

[steep salmon]

Happy new year and, what ship should I get with the wish-fulfilling card?

[silent zodiac]

Penn is MLBed but not max level yet. Nevada is neither and was mostly just a place holder ATM

[whole crypt]

is Nelson in any shop?

[wind hazel]

no

[stray frost]

Nelson is in i think chap 2

[stark quiver]

you can just hold onto it

[silent zodiac]

just a drop from 2-3 (i think)

[whole crypt]

you can probably drop Nevada for now

[stray frost]

Either 2-3 or 2-4

[steep salmon]

But why?

[whole crypt]

don't bother trying to farm for the ship, just buy Maryland from guildshop if you can

[silent zodiac]

ok, will grab MAryland from guild shop and start to level her to replace Nevada

[stark quiver]

its either that or you get it to obtain their tech points
because none of the ships on there are acutally good

[silent zodiac]

thanks

[whole crypt]

retrofitting will take a while though

[silent zodiac]

was unsure about Maryland, because she seemed to have a retrofit skill for having other BB/BC and i use 2 carriers currently

[stark quiver]

gphers which ones here have good tech
and is pushing past 60 bb rld more important than 27 -> 29 bb hit

[steep salmon]

One of them must be good

[whole crypt]

the main thing you're after is the upgraded big seven barrage, the other skills are kind of whatever

[silent zodiac]

ah, ok, makes sense

[whole crypt]

also given the time it takes to get there you might be replacing Maryland by that point

[silent zodiac]

fair

[stray frost]

Im useless here since i use carrier instead of bb

[whole crypt]

really none of the invitation lineup is particularly outstanding, so either you pick a waifu, pick someone for tech, or pick one that's harder to get outside of the invite

also the invitation doesn't expire so you don't need to decide right now

[wind hazel]

kursk fp2 that's all i remember

[viscid swift]

Voroshiolov, Avrora, Kuybyshev, Kursk, Minsk, Gremyashky

[steep salmon]

Waifu it is then ig, thanks

[stray frost]

I think that was the main goal, not to give you smth op but let you pick a ship thats special in their own way

[whole crypt]

it's basically just a selection of older SRs

[stark quiver]

i heard voro good can you confirm

[viscid swift]

good for what

[stark quiver]

like a good ship

[stray frost]

Well each ship is good in a different way

[whole crypt]

I mean CL EVA isn't bad

[ivory sigil]

why does some recommendation give unicorn a homing looking device?

[stark quiver]

oh shes eva, i shouldve checked before bulining

[stray frost]

Are you saying like all round?

[stark quiver]

kinda

[whole crypt]

because the ingame gear recc is dogshit submitted by people who don't know what they're doing

[wind hazel]

voro pretty tanky, can be used for nakh freeze if you dont have soyuz, and sexy

[stark quiver]

ah thats where i heard she was used

[whole crypt]

Voro is Nak freeze cope plus tanky yes

[stark quiver]

god i hate having to farm cl eva

[whole crypt]

but at the end of the day she's 1CL EVA

[wind hazel]

because they are shit

the ingame gear loadout recommendation i mean

[whole crypt]

I insist the best use of the ingame gear loadout is to for me to quickswap my common CVL gear because no one saves loadouts there

[stark quiver]

are the gear loadouts connected across all of en servers

[whole crypt]

no idea

[stark quiver]

how do i upload my own

[compact current]

hi all, as a new player (like two days) should i keep pulling on the event even though i won't hit pity in time? i'm 50 pulls deep with a couple copies of cowpens to show for it

[whole crypt]

just poke around the menu there's a save feature, off the top of my head it limits how many loadouts you can submit in a day

[whole crypt]

Cowpens has no pity regardless, you're basically pulling for a chance to get her, and if not then hoping that you get some other useful ships in the process

[stark quiver]

ok bet, all EN lexys will be pvp ready

[ivory sigil]

imo cowpens > lexi2 (in newbie case?)

[compact current]

yeah I wasn't really pulling for her in particular, she's just the only ship i got. i guess i'm more asking if it's worth just sinking more pulls into the banner or at this point saving for the next UR banner

[wind hazel]

no, lexi>cow>everything else

[stark quiver]

used in endgame secondary healer over a good UR?

[wind hazel]

pull until you get lexii, or drained dry trying.

[ivory sigil]

most newbie guide said newbie should priortize getting BB

[stark quiver]

well whens the next BB gonna come

[wind hazel]

idk how that newbie bb thing is relevant

[ivory sigil]

(cuz CV for newbie is harsh to build)
Meanwhile Lexi2 is niche?

[wind hazel]

UR CV is UR CV, it will help a lot in campaign and bosses

[wind hazel]

the niche is only niche when you have every UR in the game, try to understand the context

do you have issue understanding the problem here

the new player have all these ships??

[rain bobcat]

[ivory sigil]

since she is in unzen tier then niche is imo

[wind hazel]

fuck, talking to a wall

[ivory sigil]

bro i mean if he want to get it he just go and give it a luck

[rain bobcat]

lexi is here

[whole crypt]

next event will be a rerun and you'll get some build tickets to help, not like you'll reach Guam pity between the tickets and how few builds you have now anyway

[ivory sigil]

im talkabout building them in early newbie

[wind hazel]

UR CV IS UR CV FOR ANY NEWBIE

[rain bobcat]

literally no one who answered ur question said lexi 2 is unzen tier

[wind hazel]

it doesnt matter if endgame she is niche or useless

[rain bobcat]

both lexi and william are in that orange tier

[ivory sigil]

okay okay so it's bulin UR problem, same as newbie problem then

[wind hazel]

a newbie won't get better CV anytime soon, Lexii will be the best ship they would have for MONTHS

[viscid swift]

I did not do a good job of color coding

[whole crypt]

literally none of that tier list matters for someone who's not even at ch12

[stark quiver]

make it rgb next time

[rain bobcat]

also CV are only harder to build in the context of +13ing because they take a fuck ton more plates

opsi is not +13 or bust like meta showdown

[ivory sigil]

i just ask whether she is recommend to build for newbie imo tho she is UR bulin gated that's a clearly not now then, /the rest are depend on his luck to hit the UR with 50 rolls or else

But yeah i only mention he should build cows > lexi for early abit, while dps thing let the unicorn and newbie bb do it job

[wind hazel]

getting the UR is the primary objective

getting cowpens is nice bonus

[whole crypt]

honestly basically any gacha rainbow can carry you up to 13 without issue, if a new UR turns out to carry better then LB that one first, not like you should LB URs before you get 4 bulins to do MLB straight anyway

[ivory sigil]

yes. we are talk about the same thing. i'm not against u tho

[wind hazel]

you sure did sound like you were

[rain bobcat]

even for a newbie they should use lexi regardless since the first 4 bulins come quick

[ivory sigil]

-# i thought i was getting bully all a sudden, nevermind then just abit of new year 2026 debates
i had a small question: Since Newbies-earlygame-midgame player are recommend to build BB like Maryland/Nelson/Hood/Alabama...

Does getting Constellation is a bonus to build like them?

[rain bobcat]

and lexi will be highest priority to mlb literally until soyuz rerun in who knows when

[ivory sigil]

(imo Constellation rerun should be along guam)

[wind hazel]

depends on the states of the account. constellation would be good for 2nd fleet

if they already have, for example, alabama AND nelson built, then less priority to invest. would use gold bulin somewhere else instead

[whole crypt]

for even newer accounts if Constellation comes while you build with tickets she's pretty neat

but definitely won't go out of my way to build Guam's banner otherwise

the best ship is shop anyway

that said Guam's banner is also heavy-based so there's a good chance of fishing out a usable BB, Constellation or otherwise

[hollow gust]

laffey diff

[wicked dove]

Hi, does anyone know why my repeat sortie isn’t autoing? It autos the first encounter then stops

[tropic tusk]

do u see akashi in map?

[whole crypt]

did it ping you why it stopped (low morale, full dock etc)
if not restart the game

[wicked dove]

No pings

[whole crypt]

even on OS with scamcat spawning it shouldn't stop after 1 fight

[wicked dove]

And i dont think i saw Akashi

[tropic tusk]

wait is this opsi or normal sorti

[wicked dove]

Story

[whole crypt]

even for OS the game shouldn't stop after 1 fight with scamcat

restart the game and try again

[tropic tusk]

mine stop when i see akashi

[whole crypt]

it stops after you finish the whole map, not 1 fight

[tropic tusk]

oh his stop after 1 fight?

[fading wolf]

Is the UR good?

[whole crypt]

which part of "autos the first encounter" sounds like 1 map

[whole crypt]

all gacha URs good but how useful she'll be to you depends

[tropic tusk]

i need glasses mb

[wicked dove]

It’s like after the first encounter it shows fleet lock on (i only have one fleet) and auto search is off

I think it may be becuase of the searching? But even then im not sure lol

[tropic tusk]

are u using emulator by chance

[ivory sigil]

do you disable it in the auto ?

[wicked dove]

Yeah i am

Nah I didn’t touch anything

[tropic tusk]

yea emulator will get stuck sometimes , u gota restart game

[wicked dove]

Alright ill try that first

[viscid swift]

Have you cleared w2 of the main campaign yet

[wicked dove]

Like all 3 stars?

[viscid swift]

Just cleared

[wicked dove]

Yeah

Im updating the emulator rn

[ivory sigil]

if not work can you show us a picture of what does it shown when u press Auto?

could be some reason, often are:
-1. Moral low of some ship (only warning)
-2. Dock full (sorting/enhance)
-3. Game out of date (restart game)
-4. Uncleared map (need beat boss multiple time to 100% to unlock auto)
-5. reject warning of something
-6. bug

[wicked dove]

Well the auto part works its just after the first encounter after the searching it just stops going auto but i can try

[whole crypt]

it still stops after restarting?

[wicked dove]

Not sure yet the emulator is still updating

[whole crypt]

a lot of ingame problems are solved by restarting the game

[compact current]

i had that problem too. it stopped after the first fight but would resume if i tapped the auto search button bottom right. not sure if that was the fix but i havent had it happen again since

[whole crypt]

if a relog doesn't fix it drop the app and restart completely

[wicked dove]

Ah yeah thats the same problem

[tacit jasper]

my game keeps freezing in Combat and it only fixes itself after several retry and restarts. (on an emulator)
is there a fix to this?

[wicked dove]

What emulator do u use?

[tacit jasper]

LD been using that for years & this problem has been happening recently

[wind hazel]

switch to mumuplayer

[viscid swift]

Mumu is the go to for AL

[wicked dove]

Yeah im using mummy

[wind hazel]

mummy HUH

[silver lintel]

Lads is 5 hvars enough?

[viscid swift]

Probably

[wicked dove]

Mumu is much lighter than any others I’ve tried (auto correct :((

[silver lintel]

Dont wanna farm another

[viscid swift]

Never know when triple CV might make a come back though

[wicked dove]

I think ld is the one my laptop flagged as a virus

[silver lintel]

Is anti light now soy nakh frit still

[viscid swift]

What no

[silver lintel]

Or bb

[viscid swift]

Mixed fleets

Lion, Alsace, Fritz is what we used against the last 2 meta bosses

[whole crypt]

anti-light was never topped by soynakfritz

[hollow gust]

Yorky Keary core was almost always top

[wind hazel]

until the flame nation attacked

[silver lintel]

So does lexii replace frit

[stark quiver]

maybe not considering timing issues
but york kear and kexy seems to be top meta

[slow fox]

-# kexingtarge

[whole crypt]

LexII presumably goes into KearYork but we don't have a relevant light boss to test

[hallow spoke]

Can I automate opsi?

[whole crypt]

yes after you clear chapters

[wind hazel]

to a certain extent yes

[strange sphinx]

almost reset yet still busy in new year, oh well Time to build Anti light armor for opsi

[hallow spoke]

Like I cleared the levels and I can only automate secured

I think the highest corrosion level I can clear is like 3

[whole crypt]

I thought of doing antilight but my conclusion was KearYork fleet is dead for crossfleet

tempy is not worth the effort, also slightly complicated by the fact that jellyfish summon is medium

[sweet delta]

Temperance has a jellyfish?

[hallow spoke]

Is richileau good?

I just got her

[whole crypt]

not impressive by 2026 standards but usable for a newer player I guess

[weary gust]

Very outdated, ehh even for SR BB standards nowadays.

[hallow spoke]

I mean I think I have my 2nd fleet already

[whole crypt]

for new players specifically preload is significantly more potent than what you can get out of most accessible BBs before more LBs

but she pretty much falls off after that

[opaque galleon]

Is the skip bomber SU-2 any good?

And the rainbow G7e too I guess

[hollow gust]

No , yes

[opaque galleon]

Why not? Isn’t the hit rate of the skip bombers somewhat better than normal bombs?

[hollow gust]

With what damage

[rapid shard]

#media-content message

Check out suchis actual breakdown.

<@&472236072743600148>

Su-6 has its uses in DB locked only slots and does have the potential to outdmg helldiver

[onyx flame]

Expensive af too

[brazen lotus]

I'd like harbin guns for my ss, got 1 atm, even though they only get a few volleys the 70 range always reaches

[viscid swift]

How much do you want a DB that's only better than a Helldiver against stationary bosses and still worse than Tenrais

[stark quiver]

eh its pretty cheap if you arent a noob

[whole crypt]

who are good vangaurds for Bis/Meck/Lion besides Z52/Traf/Ply

[viscid swift]

Porter

[whole crypt]

would WDP fare better for sonaru

[viscid swift]

For what

[whole crypt]

SoyNakRumey

[viscid swift]

Well it's a perma 5% damage debuff

[stark quiver]

it seems the implac plane found a useage

[viscid swift]

And a 10% damage buff for Soyuz

[whole crypt]

well I'm kind of thinking which 6 vanguards to use between those 2 for boss fleets

or keep 52/Traf/Ply for BB and just worry about soynak

[wind hazel]

why do you need 2 boss fleet, is the question

[whole crypt]

so that I don't need to swap the BB fleet out of AP

[stark quiver]

i forgot to do pvp bruh

[wind hazel]

swap bb fleet out of ap?

[whole crypt]

that would imply I need to gear sonaru for heavy or build an IJN fleet

[wind hazel]

isnt it just easier to just use BB ply52traf, and just swap the HE or AP gun, that's it?

[whole crypt]

it's faster to change fleets than change 3 guns

[verbal plinth]

you only need to use it twice id just swap 1 fleet for arber and change it back next month

[wind hazel]

lol whatever you think is more convenient then

[whole crypt]

guess I'll just drop Kazagumo back in

[weary gust]

That's why I keep a mob, anti-light, anti-med, and anti-heavy fleet in opsi.

[viscid swift]

Meh, you only to change for arbiter

[wind hazel]

i dont get the extreme laziness or unwillingness to click a few buttons more

[viscid swift]

I've thrown my ap equipped BB fleet against light armor Alyssals many times and they never failed to kill

[opaque galleon]

When does Skyraider get added to gear lab? Is it in summer 2026?

[viscid swift]

That would be the earliest

[opaque galleon]

August right?

[whole crypt]

I thought of that but KearYork has 0 xf

[viscid swift]

June

[verbal plinth]

kill everything before you even need xf

[vapid valve]

How do I unlock Guden leewu

[cobalt robin]

shipyard pr8

[vapid valve]

I meant to say the EXP part

[hollow gust]

Huh?

[cobalt robin]

if youre talking abt cdc1 and 2 you need 1.2m exp using kingdom of tulipa, iron blood or sardegna kingdom vanguards and 2.4m exp for the 2nd one

it says it in the menu as well

[rapid summit]

Any difference between the first and second reset of opsi?

[whole crypt]

after the first reset it's all the same
the only thing that changes is what arbiter you get for the month, which is the same for everyone anyway

[rapid summit]

Ohhh the arbiter in the middle of the map?

[strange sphinx]

so few minutes before reset?

[ocean terrace]

can I get confirmation that opsi won't reset if I stay inside it?

[strange sphinx]

is there better HE gun (F2P for now) than Purple?

[tropic tusk]

u can stay inside and dont come out of opsi so ur reset doesnt apply

[strange sphinx]

wrong reply

[scarlet cosmos]

does submarine position here matter?

[ocean terrace]

oh yes now to clear my 5 strongholds stacked up + arbiter

[soft raft]

I think you forgot to mention the hulltype

[strange sphinx]

BB

[tropic tusk]

i thought u wanted to stay inside

[strange sphinx]

that's husky though?

[ocean terrace]

why does it say there's maint right now on the disc

[soft raft]

NJ gun is in gear lab
But before that, yes the 406 Mk6 is still king

[tropic tusk]

oh wait lol ur right

[wind hazel]

yes, flasher flag, archerfish can go top, 404 bottom

[ivory sigil]

in order to get some reward in hard arbieter, the boss need to reach under 75%hp right?

i dont think i can do it with 1 fleet

[wind hazel]

so do it with 2nd 3rd 4th fleet

[strange sphinx]

I mean why you're just 1 fleeting it?

[ivory sigil]

yeah i hope but my 2nd fleet barely survive the 1st 30 sec

[strange sphinx]

Oh well Imma make opsi thread, again because my previous thread lost now (30 days I guess)

[sharp seal]

Can I pls get some general use team recommendations? 🙏

[azure coyote]

Which ship should I wish for with the wishing card

i heard that lexi2 work best with YK2 but her rerun banner is become permanent now, i havent get that part until i open the UR exchange selector, she did appear in the selector,

does that mean i should priortize picking her when 400/400 UR selector reached?

[ocean terrace]

yeah but light boss niche fleet won't be your priority for a while

musashi is still a lot better choice

[ivory sigil]

hmm Little Enty is BB DD

[remote yarrow]

Avrora CL BB

[ivory sigil]

[remote yarrow]

Yes

[late flame]

Yes

[rapid summit]

Dam

[wind hazel]

amagi

[ivory sigil]

thanks

Wait i should get Hood right?

[stark quiver]

no

[remote yarrow]

Oh I forgot to take a pic before buying Avrora's but it should be the same order even after buying them

[azure coyote]

Is avrora good?

[late flame]

-# (the shipgirl)
Avrora No
AUrora Yes

[remote yarrow]

I'm referring to the server btw

The ship itself's niche af

[ivory sigil]

so i should buy Alabama right?

[stark quiver]

i think so

[onyx flame]

its prob the best one for medal hulls this month

[azure coyote]

Guys what ship should I get from the wishing card

[wind hazel]

what BB are you using again, kotori and?

[stark quiver]

who even cares abt hulls lol

[ivory sigil]

maryland

not yet had 3rd
planning to get constellation as a subtitute if BBshop wasnt return

[onyx flame]

pick one you need faction tech for or claim it later
south dakota is in the merit shop and belfast and bismark is in the medal shop (sometimes)

[wind hazel]

buy whatever bb you want, maybe for faction tech

you should be aiming for UR BB next

[late flame]

or keep wishing card invite until you need something since it doesnt expire

[remote yarrow]

-# And then forget about it and never use it

[azure coyote]

Well I barely have faction tech in any faction cause I am kinda new and I've been saving my cubes

I'll just take whatever I guess

[onyx flame]

then just hold it tbh

[azure coyote]

Oh ok

[proper violet]

Why ppl showing the monthly thing?

[tropic tusk]

?

[wind hazel]

to update wiki

[proper violet]

Awee

[tropic tusk]

cause every server has different 2 ships monthly

[wind hazel]

now ping Thorin

[remote yarrow]

no u

[proper violet]

Is there anything worth from BB / DD? Like is warspite worth?

[stark quiver]

whos gonna do it

[wind hazel]

@inland shoal happy new year GPH best moderator employee of the year

[proper violet]

Is warspite worth getting from BB medal

[wind hazel]

if you're chasing tech

[ivory pawn]

Hit tech is nice. HMS tech is nice. But do you need a good BB?

[proper violet]

Ok all in the medal rn just for tech no good ones?

[wind hazel]

alabama is good mobber for beginners

[proper violet]

No not really, just want more good ships

[ocean terrace]

you probably won't be retrofitting her and she's really eh without it

good for HMS tech though

[proper violet]

So funny thing, I have her retrofit item

Real early on I goofed up

[onyx flame]

[ocean terrace]

still expensive to retrofit, and I'm pretty sure she's a boss only BB

[wind hazel]

you might as well

[proper violet]

If I didnt have it should not have, but at least another bossing UR o.o

Better than NJ?

[ocean terrace]

iirc her damage is really good if all the salvos hit (referring to suchi's dps chart)

[clear harbor]

So sometimes when you beat a boss node in OpSi, a bunch of resource nodes will spawn, one of which is a an alarm that despawns all remaining additional nodes. Is the Auto-AI smart enough to avoide that alarm node?

[onyx flame]

nop it just goes whereever

[ivory sigil]

i dont think so

i mean the alarm is not real, it is just RNG that if you pick2, the rest will yeet

[clear harbor]

You can scan for the alarm.

Oh, you're thinking of the other version of this "event" where it only spawns resource nodes.

[ocean terrace]

are abyssals re-enterable

[stark quiver]

no

[fleet marten]

Its the Arbiters that can be , not them Abyssals

[ocean terrace]

strongholds and arby then, alright ty

[ivory sigil]

abyssal u can use Redeploy with 50AP to heal all fleet when u're in abyssal, if you used it would take 8hour cooldown irrc

[void inlet]

Gotta love when the game soft crashes? I could still hear menu click noises.

[whole crypt]

@clear harbor @ivory sigil
there are 2 versions, one has no alarm and no enemies

• 1 node is "higher value" but in reality the drops are probably about the same and can be occasionally worse, though only the "high value" node will have showdown coords
• 1 node is alarm, you step on it all nodes disappear, 2 nodes are plain salvage, 2 nodes are "ambush" with loot
  all of these are visible in scan mode

if you auto the map your fleet will beeline for the closest node with no concern whether it's an alarm or otherwise

[clear harbor]

Annoying. I've been trying to figure out how to automate OpSi more.

[whole crypt]

just leave it to auto the salvage is not significant

[ivory sigil]

#bug-reports

[rapid grail]

just autosearch it

[rapid grail]

when in doubt, always restart game

[void inlet]

Yeah a restart fixes it. I've reinstalled and it still does it. Kinda wonder if the game just doesn't like Google Pixel phones

[ivory sigil]

does 12-4 is easier than 12-1 ?

[ocean terrace]

X-3 and X-4 is always harder than X-1 and X-2

by a noticeable amount

[ivory sigil]

ah i was missed abit during reading guide

[whole crypt]

depends
12-4 has an ammo node and your fleet doesn't need to fight boss with no ammo if you 1-fleet it
but 12-1 enemies are overall easier/lower level

[ivory sigil]

yeah i would bring cowpens to dance here abit... but she wont survive without unicorn 💀

[whole crypt]

the dynamic has actually changed a little ever since they added the ammo node pick up

[late flame]

+12-1 smaller map is good if levelling subs

[ivory sigil]

how to leveling sub? i thought dorm was the onlyway

[onyx flame]

set it on autocall

[ivory sigil]

does it work even if sub at lv 1 ?

[whole crypt]

just set it to auto summon if it's in range it'll come, add an out-of-range summon if you want

well give it some XP and durability/oxy aux

they're just there for XP don't expect them to do anything

[ivory sigil]

so more oil

[onyx flame]

expect them to eat your oil

[whole crypt]

and yes usually 12-1 is better than 12-4 for subs because of coverage

[ocean terrace]

what do strongholds drop, other than purple coins

[onyx flame]

[valid forge]

unethical question but
Should i live guild and join another one?

[ocean terrace]

no UR stuff then, I'm tempted to skip the remaining 3 I haven't cleared yet...

[onyx flame]

prints and mats are always nice as well as plates

[ocean terrace]

I guess so...

[verbal plinth]

can never have enough plates

[ocean terrace]

can I stay in opsi infinitely lmao, before it resets

[whole crypt]

if your guild is shit sure
I do recommend securing a place in a new guild before leaving your current one
note there's also a 24 hour cold turkey before you can join a new guild

[whole crypt]

technically you can stay in there as long as your game doesn't crash or get forced into an update, until maintenance

practically why would you want to stay in there for so long, you're not going to be able to do anything else

[ocean terrace]

updates seem to happen so randomly and frequently

fair enough

anything I should use/clear before reset?

[verbal plinth]

rainbow cords

if you can clear them

[ocean terrace]

doubt I can but I'll try

[valid forge]

There are resets on OS?

[ocean terrace]

monthly yeah

[stark quiver]

are you living in the past

[onyx flame]

if you finish chp 4 then you get the monthly reset version fo opsi after the first month reset

[stark quiver]

or did i get teleported into the future

[ocean terrace]

I've been logged in for like 3 hours now lmao

[onyx flame]

they are living in the super past

[stark quiver]

day 32

[valid forge]

To clear all stages again?

[ocean terrace]

I left every stronghold and abyssal and arbiter for the final moment

[whole crypt]

all coord items, shouldn't take very long

[ocean terrace]

last time I tried C5 abyssals and could barely do them, C6 were a real struggle with self-healing bosses

[whole crypt]

can skip the blue C2 fractured
start from the lower corrosion ones

that way you won't be wasting time stuck on the top end if a C6 abyssals is being troublesome

[rapid yoke]

Hello, is lexington ii good outside of uss teams?

[ocean terrace]

if you're new, she'll be your best ship by far
when people here refer to 'niche' and 'only good for this or that' when talking about a UR, they're usually referring to very lategame bosses and content

[stark quiver]

yah fam

[cobalt robin]

waifu always good

[crimson glacier]

if you are new then she probably isnt that good

if you cant limit break her

[ocean terrace]

that's with any ships to ever exist so yeah

[crimson glacier]

and i dont expect everyone to know that

[ocean terrace]

fair enough

[keen flower]

get hood first right

[ocean terrace]

isn't Alabama there? she's better as a mob BB for sure

[cobalt robin]

if you need a bb she would be the best from that selection

[stark quiver]

alabama good
hood no good anymore

[ocean terrace]

i see what you did there

[keen flower]

why's that?

[cobalt robin]

biscuit also no good no more

[stark quiver]

the only reason hood was reccommended to everyone before was because her augment pulled her ahead of everyone else

but alabama recently got an unique augment herself, which makes her the best

[cobalt robin]

she did?

[keen flower]

k il get alabama then

is volga good to level up?
my back line is saratoga, unicorn, and west virginia

[cobalt robin]

volga is a good secondary healer which is only ever useful in w14+ and she is kinda redundant now since cowpens does everything better than her

[keen flower]

i dont have cowpens, i have 180 cubes and 8k coins
level 47 farming event c2, i dont like gambling just to get cowpens which i might not even get

[cobalt robin]

you dont need to pull just for cow

[keen flower]

i have lex 2
forgot to tell, no UR bulins rn

[cobalt robin]

i was abt to ask , you can stop pulling then

[keen flower]

yeah i forgot to tell cuz i basically cant mlb until a month from now

[ocean terrace]

well monthly reset did just happen, you can get some spec cores, UR bulin from current event and another cruise pass

[cobalt robin]

guam and laff2 rerun incoming and they will be universally more useful than lexi2 for you rn

[ocean terrace]

I thought main fleet UR > vanguard in terms of prio

unless the main fleet UR isn't that great and the vanguard is just that good

[cobalt robin]

well there are good cvs you can get for free and guam, laff2 are just that good

[whole crypt]

Laffey II is probably more important

[cobalt robin]

with indys aug she is basically a ur now in campaign

[ocean terrace]

independence

[cobalt robin]

i DO NOT mean indianapolis

[ocean terrace]

Portland would disagree

[whole crypt]

you're more likely to replace Lex II than Laffey II
there's also the odd quirk that because of her skill Laffey II is actually ok to start using without LBs

[edgy isle]

Whst fleet is meta?

[whole crypt]

meta for what

[ocean terrace]

I just assumed the mainfleet UR damage would just be better for new players, but I see your point

[edgy isle]

Pvp

[whole crypt]

#pvp is that way

[cobalt robin]

head over to #pvp

[edgy isle]

Okay thank you

[whole crypt]

well how many UR bulins are we looking at now and what's the UR roster looking like

[cobalt robin]

i wanna mlb both guam and laff2 immediately but not enough bullins 😔

[ocean terrace]

same, only have enough for 1 atm

[whole crypt]

considering Laffey II can hold out without LBs it's actually valid reason to do Lex II, depending what the rest of the roster looks like

[cobalt robin]

i have 3 rn, can get 2 more with this reset

[keen flower]

should i make new thread and post it? my roster is basically 2 pic

[strange sphinx]

man need more spec cores for UR for my Lex2, She just need one more

[ivory sigil]

bro spend the last day whole for opsi

[keen flower]

i have 0 ur bulins rn

[whole crypt]

start thread easier to type without slow mode

[ivory sigil]

i forgot what i need to priortize in gearlab, Wyvern or Tenrai?

[ocean terrace]

Wyvern

[cobalt robin]

you will get them gradually, you can get 1 from 30k event milestone, 1 from new player bullin plan and 1 at level 100 cruise pass

[whole crypt]

if you don't clear your strongholds first you're losing them, map only shows up to 2? 3? and "stored" strongholds don't populate if you don't leave the mode

[keen flower]

NightRuler Fleet

[cobalt robin]

also not to mention 8k specore which is 2 bullins

[ocean terrace]

yeah only realised that too late, oh well

to be fair if I had left it for the actual last day (yesterday), it would've been fine

[whole crypt]

it's not a huge loss, you stock shit from OS over time anyway

[ocean terrace]

what I need right now are UR plane plans anyway

[cobalt robin]

would a 1lb laff2 be usable in 15-3?

[whole crypt]

you technically could but I wouldn't recommend it

[ocean terrace]

well shit, I accidentally clicked out of opsi. at least I cleared most of the coords

voucher priority is just loggers right?

[rapid grail]

you can technically use lvl 1 lb0 laffey II solo when she released
there was a fix since then that heavily cripples that. at that point, be my guest lol

[cobalt robin]

well i already have plenty of handicaps from the units i refuse to drop so ill have to see

yumia, enty and monty

[rapid grail]

kotori/seydlitz - lexington ii/glorious meta/nakhimov - lion - yukikaze/lyme - laffey ii - eldridge retrofit

don't know why this guy didn't ask over at #pvp but i'll just answer regardless.
there's a pinned document there btw that lists most, if not all meta comps for frontline & backline, along with their gearings

[cobalt robin]

a lot of people dont know we have a pvp chat

[ocean terrace]

yeah and pinned has everything you really need there

[rapid grail]

en can't read

fork found in kitchen

[cobalt robin]

[ivory sigil]

opsi has reset does 9k8 voucher enough for stuff?

[ocean terrace]

13k to clear out shop iirc, but you don't need to clear it out

[whole crypt]

prioritize coords

[tulip tinsel]

buy the 1 time things first

[whole crypt]

buy the monthly things first more rather

[ocean terrace]

why is this month's CM so much easier

[ivory sigil]

oof that remind i was too forgetting 1k4 AP before reset

[ocean terrace]

I lasted like 30 seconds against Dec CM and beat this one first go

[cobalt robin]

those wouldve given you 5 ur plans

[rigid onyx]

the monthly things go away after a month

[ivory sigil]

WAIT how ?!

[rigid onyx]

the one time things you can buy whenever you have a surplus

[whole crypt]

the first priority when you don't have excess vouchers is always abyssals and obscured

[cobalt robin]

joke

[ivory sigil]

🎍zle

[whole crypt]

the real answer is if you get very good RNG with 1.4k AP you can fish a handful of rainbow designs from cat dives

[cobalt robin]

holy rng you mean

[whole crypt]

but the reality is probably not

[rigid onyx]

i get 2 ur prints a c5 run

[cobalt robin]

very funny

[whole crypt]

RNG at the end of the day

[cobalt robin]

i got 2 ur plans in total last month outside of shop

[ivory sigil]

wow u're right, auto cheese 🧀 too

[strong tartan]

what was the d3 drop for guam event

out of curiosity if there's anything worth other than guams gun

[whole crypt]

guam gun is shop

[wind hazel]

it drops me

[strong tartan]

okay I won't be farming

[wind hazel]

gold hellcat, pretty useless

[onyx flame]

and flasher

[whole crypt]

D3 ship is Flasher, gear is hellcat

[wind hazel]

b3 drops flasher too

[strong tartan]

eh ill just focus on points

[cobalt robin]

no way

[wind hazel]

that's why b3 superior

[onyx flame]

mega lowcosting time

[cobalt robin]

buy out entire shop time

[ivory sigil]

i did like 7 mins for easymodo

should i try normalmodo with this same team?

[ocean terrace]

is Yoshino supposed to get top damage

[eternal pine]

is cowpens good?

[wind hazel]

what boss is capicorn

[ocean terrace]

uh japanese CV, Katsu

[wind hazel]

oh, katsuragi, that's a CV

[ocean terrace]

is she? either way she seems way easier than warspite

[ivory sigil]

idk i dont have 2nd helldriver so only yoshino using rn

but idk why she even cap the BB dmg

[ocean terrace]

did you have AP gun on Kotori

[ivory sigil]

nah it HE

[ocean terrace]

she's med armour so

[ivory sigil]

it is very mystery, her Lazer is funny and shooting the mainfleet in pvp sometime
making her top DPS for no reason 😂

idk yoshi had 3plane, while uni had 2 plane only,

The power scored Uni 4551 > Yosh 4487 despite oathed

[wind hazel]

use better fighter

[ocean terrace]

power score means nothing

[ivory sigil]

seafang? or should i go get some flap

[rain bobcat]

I really should +13 2 z flags just to spite some people

[wind hazel]

seafang good

[rain bobcat]

use seafang

[ocean terrace]

can't you craft a shit ton of hellcats from D3 farming

[zenith heron]

Can Yoshino be a decent Secondary Healer?

[wind hazel]

ok ish

there arent many choice to begin with lol

it's kinda like
cowpens
aquila zuihou
the rest <--- she's here

[ivory sigil]

oh u mean the purple one or the gold one? idk the gold just appear today

[balmy skiff]

is Cowpens a better healer than Uni or Percy

[zenith heron]

Literally a different role of healing

[rain bobcat]

[wind hazel]

different healer, she's a secondary healer. unicorn perseus are main healer

[zenith heron]

Good shit

[ocean terrace]

either I guess, I'm pretty sure purple corsair and purple hellcats are best purple fighters tho

[ivory sigil]

Nah her heal is nearly brick compare to unicorn, only to bring along unicorn

[wind hazel]

purple hellcats are kinda bad, purple corsair good

[onyx flame]

Dont use the purple hellcats
If you have to use purple, corsairs

[rain bobcat]

ready in 2 weeks trust

[ocean terrace]

if I don't have enough purp corsairs though, I've been using purp hellcat

[wind hazel]

purple corsair good
gold hellcats good
gold seafang good

[zenith heron]

her healing skill acts like Illustrious skill I believe

[onyx flame]

You dont have other fighters?

[zenith heron]

Shield has to get destroyed in order to heal I believe

[ocean terrace]

and 2 HVARs

[wind hazel]

guam event gonna be good for you then lul

[ocean terrace]

oh it drops corsairs?

[wind hazel]

then again i dont think farming d3 is recommended, it's just do daily bonus and fuck off

[onyx flame]

damn piss poor rng for fighters huh

honestly atp might as well just make some corsairs in gearlab

[ocean terrace]

I was told to hold off on gear lab till I can make a Wyvern (still like 5 UR prints away from that)

[onyx flame]

corsair doesnt take any of the mats needed to make a wyvern

its just purple mats tbh

and you can get a fulmar from tech boxes

[ocean terrace]

hmmm

I may have scrapped every blue gear except fire ext, 76mm and steering gear

[onyx flame]

cause im just looking at the no of purple hellcats and seeing all the plates never being refunded thou after a while you be rich on plates too ig

[whole crypt]

lmao what's capricorn kill fleet again BB AP sucks against the skill

[wind hazel]

use plymouth scylla

[stark quiver]

wtf PvP discussion without me

[ocean terrace]

do I need blue or purple ones from those to make a corsair

[onyx flame]

corsair you need blue buffalo, purple fulmar is for wyvern

[ocean terrace]

oh

[tropic tusk]

have the meta shift yet?

[wind hazel]

that fleet didnt last 2 weeks 😭

[tropic tusk]

looks like i need to update my self

[eternal pine]

is cowpen better than any of these morons?

[whole crypt]

what's the gimmick again for capricorn

[wind hazel]

it's better than lexington

[ocean terrace]

base lex 😭

[stark quiver]

Bullet absorb shield or something

[wind hazel]

need high bullet count to break shield

[onyx flame]

lots of dakka

[rain bobcat]

shield that needs to be broken else she just heals 1% every second

[ocean terrace]

penny should be flag

[wind hazel]

scylla=ez mode

[rain bobcat]

vanguard with ply typicall both run double autloader

[stark quiver]

Who has Scylla raised lol

[whole crypt]

120

[rain bobcat]

everyone from 2022

[eternal pine]

penny is 20 levels under unicorn

[wind hazel]

who hasn't
stupid sexy maid... scylla mm... fragrant feet...

[stark quiver]

What is wrong with you

[whole crypt]

somehow Z52 and Traf not enough for shield?

[rain bobcat]

I don't think anyone from 2022/ whatever date scylla released doesn't have her raised

[wind hazel]

scylla hater

[stark quiver]

She’s overhyped fr

[wind hazel]

52 1 mgm, and i think barrage bypass shield or something

even sandy is better than z52 for shield breaking

[whole crypt]

oh right shield bypass

[wind hazel]

i still used her anyway

[rain bobcat]

the great loadout of all time

[stark quiver]

2026 and I still don’t have 2 meck guns

[wind hazel]

if you had scylla raised you would have 3

[eternal pine]

hi roughly how long does it take for a new person to unlock a shipyard creature?

[rain bobcat]

depends who

if from series 7/8 atleast 1-2 months

also unlocking is different from having them do actually good dmg

a newbie will prob take 6 months to get meck dev 30 form starting

[stark quiver]

[tropic tusk]

wt does luck stat do?

[tropic tusk]

thx

[stark quiver]

Does crit building exist in AL

[wind hazel]

yes, when you use warspite for pvp and hope it crit on enemy back line

[stark quiver]

Peak

[rain bobcat]

yes, it's called coping

[digital vault]

how to unlock SP and EX on event? just came back to the game

[wind hazel]

/hardmode toggle B3

[odd root]

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

[digital vault]

damn i was looking for a another area

[upbeat wagon]

is 3 seiun and its sidegrades in total too much to have

I can have 1 seiun and 2 of the np converging torpedo bomber atm

[wind hazel]

you want to have at least 2 of each torpedo bomber

2 saiun
2 ju87
2 ryusei/kai
2 vit2

can be more depending on how tryhard you wanna be

but 2 each is very standard

[upbeat wagon]

for timing purposes?
