[eternal basalt]

Is that a logging tower and not a scanning tower?

[misty flicker]

i dont even know the difference but iirc that's the logging tower

wait im stupid

😭

[hollow gust]

[turbid dawn]

So yeah, Kurumi is basically what I'm missing from this fight with what I'm seeing

[hollow gust]

wait what the fuck? why is monarch so good

[eternal basalt]

Use scanner on it if not gone yet

[misty flicker]

i broke it

next time i'll try

wait no i did

the scan option when interacting right '?

[eternal basalt]

The scan option in the topleft, next to the radar

There are 2 towers, they are different, but really, I can't tell

[misty flicker]

ok i just got the right one

with the stat boosts

🙏

[peak fable]

if you had to rank the PR8 SR ships in general usefulness, what would their priority be?

if they are all equally useless, i might as well go for Kansas, cause one big charge shot sounds funny

[white agate]

idk, imo go for the one with the best backline tech

[rose whale]

Is the f4u plane worth buying

[white agate]

always if event plane since it takes 2y to rerun

[peak fable]

yes, its good

[rose whale]

Thanks

[hushed delta]

any guide or website with updated Submarine gear?

[white agate]

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

[zealous bough]

Just unlocked d3 should I farm d3 tillidnight?

For the gold plane

[eternal basalt]

Do you have 55k points?

[tulip tinsel]

grind as long as you can get to, 55k might be far away but 30k for bulin is really good

UR bulin

[light trail]

hold up real? can you post your gear? i can actually potentially copy this LOL currently i need to wait for soyuz rerun to do literally anything good

[whole crypt]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uU-t3CrFFpKFrheOUHSNHysDfb86P11OztobBlAWWK8/edit?usp=sharing

[light trail]

i've seen that and it has ships i dont have which is why i was asking for their gear

[whole crypt]

probably just similar to what's in stig's guide and pray for helena

[light trail]

im not tryna go off of a "probably" tho

[whole crypt]

helena is not going to give you consistent 1shots anyway

[light trail]

it's more than the zero one shots i get rn

might still be equip gated if it turns out they have 2 meck guns but otherwise i should be able to copy 1:1 or nearly 1:1 if only 1 meck gun

[whole crypt]

my guess is raff gun on Lion, at least a champagne or flandre gun on Vanguard, double La-9s on Fritz

Yorktown is medium, raff gun better than meck for first gun

probably HP for obtain and TRP/RLD for 120

[hollow gust]

It's literally just fill ships you don't have with Helena

[whole crypt]

he's asking about gear now I guess

from your clear screen

support barrage starts in 2 days anyway

[hollow gust]

That shouldn't affect the practice mode no?

[whole crypt]

don't know about sim, just saying for anyone who's on the borderline for oneshotting or twoshotting

[stark quiver]

no too late

[zealous bough]

These points?

[stark quiver]

then yes try to farm to 55k points
but dont focus farm the plane

[zealous bough]

Plane map still best or another one? For point farm

[eternal basalt]

You can get plane in WA anytime you want

[light trail]

the ships i dont have are mecklenburg and soyuz but your fleet had neither which is why i asked to see your gear (because i can copy the fleet)

[stark quiver]

no you cant lmfao
its not a clear 60 times gear bro

[hollow gust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRvx30G2VDQ&t=19s

[eternal basalt]

It drops, you can

[stark quiver]

anytime is such a stretch when it can take months to years to farm it

[light trail]

so these guns?

[zealous bough]

What do you get at 55k points?

[hollow gust]

did you not watch the video

[tulip tinsel]

gold plates

[hollow gust]

all my fleets are basically just jimmy

[light trail]

i'll fully watch the video later, dont have 22 minutes to spend on this rn

[zealous bough]

Huge noob could u tell me their names? I know lion and krumi and that's all

[light trail]

was just wondering if you could like screenshot and post them real quick

[tulip tinsel]

fritz monarch lion trafalgar duisburg kurumi

[hollow gust]

Fritz Monarch Lion
Trafalfgar Duisburg Kurumi

[zealous bough]

Thanks

[wicked dove]

When did lion release? I have never seen some of those ships before lol

Also using the new player fleet, are there any reccomendations for skill priority?

[strong tartan]

may 2025

alongside trafalgar

[wicked dove]

Ohh i see i didn’t play during that time yeah

Do those units ever get reruns or anything like that?

[strong tartan]

they eventually will just not for a while

reruns usually take 2~ years since the first run and another 2 until they're perma

[wicked dove]

Ah got it wow

How often do new URs release?

[strong tartan]

every 3 ish months

next one should be february

[wicked dove]

Ok ok ty

[red sapphire]

Does Hidden stages from OpSi drop good stuff?

[inland shoal]

Yes

Not all corrosion levels are worth it though

I think only 4-6 are really worthwhile, forgot about 3

[red sapphire]

Okay, thank you

[whole crypt]

C3 fractured doesn't have a gold plate on clear chests but layout can still be good for cat dives/scamcat spawn

[vocal heart]

Guys I have a problem with hard of chapter 14 - 4 I can't finish it because the BB kills me any advice?

[weary gust]

Kill the bb before it kills you.
Show us your fleet and gear so we can see what might be the issue.

[vocal heart]

Ok thanks now I'll create the fleet file and send it to you

[spice phoenix]

is cleve meta good for mob fleet? i read her “battle-hardened knight” skill and it says that it negates the out-of-ammo debuff. does this buff apply to all ships and does this even matter with the new qol autosearch updates?

[red sapphire]

Hi, I'm trying to get some of this so I can craft the UR one and get an equipment this month. What are abyssal zones? Strongholds?

[undone plover]

abyssal is this

[vocal heart]

this is the 14-4 boss fleet i use

[red sapphire]

I cleared all C4, 5 and 6 from shops. How can I get more?

[undone plover]

C6 should give one guaranteed
C5 is ~43% drop per my limited data
C4 is around 25%
u can find more coordinates in the shops
voucher and port shops
also some exploration stars give abyssal coordinates

[vocal heart]

@weary gust

[undone plover]

i am not sure about La9 tbh
I think rocket planes miss the concealed enemies
just use traditional bombers

[red sapphire]

I cleared both port and boucher shops. Exploration stars from specific zones?

[undone plover]

there was a document that told u which zone stars gave the coords
let me see if I can find it

[vocal heart]

what should I change?

[red sapphire]

Thank you, I can check one by one if it's too hidden

[undone plover]

this is not made by me so if there is anything wrong I am not responsible
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N0tPxZVrJIiHzoDLrRGMK4DSALlouFJUPOIjlCw6MnM/edit?gid=1052713990#gid=1052713990

[red sapphire]

Thank you very much

[undone plover]

the first plane the La9 change to flapjack on essex and indep
also idk if plymouth buffed by eldridge can main tank
maybe put gouden as main tank instead

[vocal heart]

@undone plover

[undone plover]

looks good
should work i think

it is normal 14-4 right? not hard?

i dont like musashi for hard mode even tho I think she was fine for some ppl
she died very fast for me even with aquila

[vocal heart]

hard

[rain bobcat]

indep is not it

[undone plover]

idk about musashi tbh
maybe wait for someone else to confirm if this works
she insta died for me

[vocal heart]

should I change BB?

[rain bobcat]

run 2 BB

make lion flag/alsace/soyuz

[undone plover]

yeah probably best tbh

[rain bobcat]

also put eldridge third not 2nd

[rain bobcat]

she does insta die here and there

slightly mitigated by running another Bb flag and essex top to minimise sniping chance but she'll prob die no rudder

[undone plover]

i just got salty with her since I was doing full clear lethal and tried so much to get mob working and then she insta died killing my whole run

[rain bobcat]

it is important to run 3 rudder on backline

or atleast fire ext

[vocal heart]

so i have to put 2 BB?

[rain bobcat]

yeah ppl realised as well that lion mob is goated because she can just burn the subs too

[vocal heart]

that I'm fixing the formation

[undone plover]

u dont have to but probably better
just flag soyuz/alsace/lion (whoever is not in mob) and use sushi off flag I think this works

[vocal heart]

alsace instead of musashi?

it's the second one in case what should I put in place of who?

[rain bobcat]

indep

[undone plover]

Alsace flag musashi off flag top and essex I think is fine

Lion is mob right?

[rain bobcat]

also if you dont like gambling use rudder on all backline

[undone plover]

And watch your screen and reset if u get bad rng

[vocal heart]

1. Alsace

2. indenpe 3) essex?

[undone plover]

1. alsace
2. musashi
3. essex
   Does musashi stay alive like this @rain bobcat

I never tried this
Mine was soyuz hakuhou amagi

[rain bobcat]

I put essex top because top gets sniped more

2 is top iirc so essex 2

[undone plover]

one sec i will show u

u have this gun?

[vocal heart]

I only have one that is equipped with lion for mobs

[undone plover]

i cant vouch for this working since I didnt try it myself

[vocal heart]

I'll try using this but what are the weapons to upgrade above 10?

[undone plover]

these
and u have tenrai at +13 already so all good
1 radar at +13 is enough if u have it since u should have 2 table as well
dont +13 any more for now

[vocal heart]

a moment that I modify

@undone plover

[undone plover]

this can also be +13 at some point

how many plates u have

[kind needle]

is crafting another plygun worth it? (Only had one atm)

[undone plover]

can be good for BB
1 for ply and 3 for triple BB fleet
but it is only 20 extra FP so if u dont have a lot of resources maybe hold off for now

it is pure luxury and a lot of fleets are mixed today so maybe u dont run triple BB a lot

[kind needle]

or should I craft 2nd NJ gun?

[undone plover]

u have lion gun?

[kind needle]

yeah

[undone plover]

1 NJ gun and 1 Lion gun should be enough for now I think
wait and see if u need more then craft

[vocal heart]

that's how it can go

[kind needle]

is 4 flapjacks enough?

[stark quiver]

Maybe

[vocal heart]

@undone plover

[whole crypt]

you can use way more than 4 but are you at a point where you want to use more than 4

[deft cloud]

Is there a list or something that shows the best route for retrofitting for ships?

[brave canyon]

Are the flapjack or the tigercat a good first +13 for an account?

[undone plover]

ok good luck
I think this should work but watch your screen and reset if u get bad rng

[brave canyon]

There’s only one route to the end and it’s not hard to max it all

[undone plover]

it doesnt matter than much
usually u want to do it all asap
picking 1 node before another node doesnt change much u want to max it all anyway

[glossy granite]

Next ur rerun is Guam and laffey?

[vocal heart]

there is a problem in the hard it doesn't let me put essex

[wraith abyss]

Question, since Musashi is now permenantly in war archives, how would i get her rainbow gun now? https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Triple_460mm_(Type_94)

[ivory pawn]

Currently you don’t. Wait for it to be added somewhere, usually Gear Lab.

[undone plover]

i think u can put it in the other fleet
can u show the problem?

[wraith abyss]

Oof... Ok, thanks. I got musashi after she was added to war archives and couldn't figure out how to get the stupid rainbow gun

[wraith abyss]

They should've put her gun in the gear lab when she was added to war archives at the same time. makes it so confusing. 😐

[ivory pawn]

It’s k, her rainbow gun is super niche anyways.

[wraith abyss]

So for mobbing, the purple sakura gun is recommended instead?

[ornate narwhal]

Which of the SSR should I grab?

[ivory pawn]

Aye.

[vocal heart]

that's the problem @undone plover

[undone plover]

swap position all 6 characters

[wraith abyss]

@ivory pawn do you think i need to +13 the purpl sakura gun, or is it overkill and +10 is sufficient?

[ivory pawn]

Pick waifu, pick tech, they’re all meh. Try to avoid the ones that can be found easily elsewhere like South Dakota.

[ornate narwhal]

So there’s no one that’s technically the best?

[ivory pawn]

Overkill, and also only goes up to +11 anyways.

[ivory pawn]

Correct.

[undone plover]

pick for tech or collection
none of em are that amazing

[vocal heart]

ok but in addition to what I change I should do

[undone plover]

hmmm.... well idk about aquila tbh for me I used lion + raffaello + unicorn in mob
do u have cowpens at level 120/125?

i think what u have should work if u just pick easy nodes
avoid stuff like 3 triangle BB nodes

[vocal heart]

nope 🙁 101 lvl

[undone plover]

your mob is fine I think but use a lot of anti sub gear
I didnt try noshiro myself
but z52 and bayard are good
maybe use shimanto or laffey instead of noshiro but I think jimmy used noshiro and it worked but idk who else he used

[vocal heart]

for the rest the formation for the mobs is perfect he doesn't die for me it's about musashi that dies for me and so where to change it

[undone plover]

if mob is fine before and your boss is now better so should work hopefully

[vocal heart]

but anyway what should I wear because alsace musashi and then?

because I can only put cvl

[vocal heart]

@undone plover

[kind needle]

Good for w14 or nah?

[undone plover]

one second I answered this but I think better i show u

[vocal heart]

yes better if you show me sorry

[kind needle]

should I make my Aquila DB or keep it like this?

[stark quiver]

isnt aquila there because of good synergy with musashi

[kind needle]

yes.

[undone plover]

do like this

[vocal heart]

ok sorry

[undone plover]

looks good
maybe change these to wyvern or breguet or another parallel torp

[stark quiver]

then why do u wanna go with a db 💀

[undone plover]

otherwise u are gambling on whether they land or not

[kind needle]

Idk, I use DB Aquila in opsi so...

[vocal heart]

I'll try to do it, thank you so much for your time, I'll let you know if I succeeded

[undone plover]

we want healer aquila
just use another fighter tho
bf109 is trash tier for ch14

[west mural]

Which event node is best to farm coins?

[kind needle]

Would F7F's work or should I use another flapjack?

[stark quiver]

if you take away 2nd slot fighter, aquila is not a healer anymore

[undone plover]

f7f is fine

[kind needle]

Oh.

[undone plover]

D3 if u can

but event will be over in 8 hours

[ember crest]

Any advice on a team I should build up next or what I should do next? I just auto 9-1 each day until my oil runs out but some of my main fleet is about to hit 120 now so idk

Here are my current medal shops too

[junior walrus]

I need to get rid of epic bulin. Are these these Z characters worth upgrading?

I can send my full list of epics if there’s some that are definitely worth upgrading.

[turbid marsh]

Hmmm 14-3 very interesting. Kinda hard to do 3 star lethal

Without porter

[undone plover]

alabama enterprise lexington II san diego cleveland + ????
u may not have enough gold bulins so maybe dont use enterprise yet until u get enough
saratoga can be ok for now
do u have enough crystals to MLB cleveland meta?

[undone plover]

chitose and houshou are good CV tech
imo MLB them
Z class also DD FP so also good

[undone plover]

use this website
check BB + CV RLD + ACC + AVI/FP
and MLB those ships
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/tracker?type=5%2C7&stats=hit%2Crld%2Cavi%2Cfp

if u are done then u can do DD + CL + CA pick FP

[undone plover]

@ember crest sry this was for u i forgot to reply

can also do cowpens instead of enterprise
she is probably better in story mode

[ember crest]

I have enough event currency to buy all of the crystals for Cleveland Meta. & 26 gold bulins atm I haven't used any. I also have Ticonderoga, Taihou, and U-81 if they're worth leveling, forgot to include them in the SS

[junior walrus]

Will this make teams for me?

[undone plover]

then alabama enterprise/cowpens lexington II (can u MLB lexy? u have 2 rainbow bulin can u get more?)
vanguard san diego cleveland meta and cleveland

[undone plover]

sadly not yet (maybe in the future )
this is just to track which ships are level 120 for tech

[dawn mauve]

What should i buy first on core shop?

[undone plover]

i recommend u raise second fleet in 9-4 not 9-1
and then push to chapter 12 asap
ch12 better for farm

[hollow plank]

can anybody recommedn me a fleet 1 and 2 in preparation for world 13? thank you!

[undone plover]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[undone plover]

can u repost images in a thread pls
this is getting chaotic

[ember crest]

Hmm I'm about to get one more from the cruise missions, lv97 atm. I thought there was one more somewhere but I can't find where now lol. I can always finish her once I get the last ones though. & I will push for ch12 and farm in the other stage too. Ty!

[undone plover]

if u can filter vanguard then main ships seperatly it will be much appreciated

[dawn mauve]

Thanks

[undone plover]

i recommend go for this first if u can
not the shells

[undone plover]

cool then use her imo
also replace houshou with cowpens and put enty in boss so raise both if u can

[undone plover]

i think the other one is here
one of the tabs says bulin support plan or sth for newbies

[dawn mauve]

Why?

[undone plover]

it has bigger impact

faster gun go brrrrr

[ivory pawn]

I disagree slightly. Get White Shell first (and maybe cogs), then consider Table.
White shells are time gated at 1 per month.

[undone plover]

@ember crest when both fleets raised put helena in boss and cleveland in mob
And get alabama and san diego augments when u can

[white agate]

its rainbow, basically all rainbow are generally decent

[ember crest]

Oh yup that was it, I only had one mission left too so I can get it right away ^^

[undone plover]

that is a good consideration actually
i didnt think of it like this
maybe get shell yeah

but dont get black shell

eventually u want 3 white shell + 2 rainbow table

[white agate]

true, guess my 11 white shells makes me biased

[dawn mauve]

I don't think i can affort for several rainbow rarity.. so yea, that why i asking here for cheap but have enough impact

[white agate]

probably prio your first 3 white shells

[stark quiver]

is w16 tmo or next week

[ivory pawn]

Amen. I'm actually kinda surprised it's still on the left tbh, I figured with Table showing up it'd be bumped to the more niche side.

[white agate]

there are only 2 tables

tho probably you use the gold radar thing

[dawn mauve]

Alright thanks again

[ivory pawn]

Can buy 1 black shell any month.

[ivory pawn]

Next maint (tomorrow). Next week is Guam.

[white agate]

be like me and be biased RN shell with rainbow table

[stark quiver]

what a drag

[undone plover]

yeah i think it maybe should be lower than white at least
at most we use 1 black shell these days I think for mixed fleets

[quasi slate]

Any advice for building Cowpens/Porter?

[undone plover]

hey
maybe sth like this
let me know if u dont have those gears and augments
since many of these picks depend if u have the augment or not

u need to raise them to around level 120 though
some are lower level

[undone plover]

i dont think they need anything specific
just follow normal gearing advice https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

[hollow gust]

Using Sandy as tank is ballsy asf

[quasi slate]

Thanks!

[undone plover]

she is kinda good with her aug tho

actually does porter use duck gun or peashooter

i am not sure on that myself

[forest palm]

either the 76 or the 113

[vale spindle]

Isnt it tomorrow

[undone plover]

yeah it is tomorrow

[forest palm]

it's in the patch notes...

[undone plover]

sry alpa didnt see ur Q

[vale spindle]

#game-news yep

[hollow plank]

Thank you so much! i don't know how to read this image in terms of the gear sadly. 🙁 what do the numbers mean?

For the augment, i only have monarchs and warspite,, and sandy's. I can get an shans aux if needed but i only have 800 cores. idk how to get more of that monthly core XD

[undone plover]

ignore the numbers I just wanted to know if u have the augments
so u missed the collab augments?
check again maybe u have them
for the core thing dont get it maybe u have higher priority stuff to get
we can use someone else for now
and u get that currency in hard mode maps

do u have tashkent or chapayev augments?

[junior walrus]

Top to bottom in rank or bottom to top?

[knotty jolt]

definintely top to bottom

[soft raft]

Mostly Yes, but Top->Bottom doesnt really work for some hulltypes (Namely CV and BB)
read the gear notes as well too

[white agate]

is cvl reload necessary? i mean how important is that +3 from level 120?

[ivory pawn]

Just use the blue main gun tbh, also check out https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/.

[quasi slate]

If I am opening up crates what common items should I get rid of in my gear inventory

[soft raft]

Depends on how much you want 4 aistrikes in a META fight instead of 3 and a vauge suggestion of a 4th one 2s before the fight ends

[stark quiver]

important for specific timings
and what +3 are you talking about 💀

[ivory pawn]

The Iron Blood CVLs I assume.

[hollow plank]

oh oops sorry i also have tohka's. and i have kaguya's but kaguya's isn't leveld up. if it's worth leveling, i will do so now! 😄 so basically the only augment i don't have is yukikaze and an shan's circle thing

[soft raft]

No
Z52's gun damage is not that abysmally dogshit and her barrage isnt that mega cracked to warrant using the 76mm

[white agate]

cvls, elbe jade weser

[junior walrus]

I forgot this game was so damn complicated

[ivory pawn]

If it's gray and not equipped by someone, just scrap it.

[undone plover]

ok nice
Let me have a look see if we can find replacement for YKKZ + an shan

[stark quiver]

oh cvl rld
useless

unless youre a campaign malder i guess

[junior walrus]

Who benefits most from gun upgrades?

[slow fox]

-# We're all campaign malders with 14H and 16

[ivory pawn]

Huh, I was under the understanding you wanted goldburn or some specific amount of reload if you were using the 113. I should probably go craft one myself then.

[soft raft]

ignoring the fact that some of them cant even equip guns at all (Carriers), everyone benefits from having better gear

[hollow plank]

if that's the most ideal then, i can also invest in them to get it. 😄 so do let me know! whichever is easier or you think will help me make a stronger fleet XD

thank you soooo much for taking th time to check what i have ❤️ I truly appreciate you.

Also, if the suggestions are based on level, i can level up the others or if i need to max mlb gouden, new jersey, or william d as they are UR, i have 5URbulins in me for one.

[stark quiver]

it doesnt matter if you cant meet that threshold

[soft raft]

That's honestly more towards extreme levels of min-maxxing that most people barely give a shit about

cuz you need that said amount of RLD in the first place which most people will never have

[undone plover]

i think save your UR bulins
next event guam and laffey 2 very good
ask again in 1-2 weeks
i suggest kinda the most useful ones not based on level
I recommend u level them all to 120 then try ch13

[flint sonnet]

Who is coming first? Laffey or Guam?

[white agate]

laffey 2, so noone of the above

[hollow plank]

okay! I'll do just that then first. Thank you Faerlein! lastly, no other augments for any other ships other than the ones i men tioned. 😭 but i can make if needed.

[soft raft]

They're both rerunning at the same time
Guam is the gacha UR
Laffey II is the shop UR

[white agate]

oh they meant in that sense

[undone plover]

maybe just use kurumi in mob and cleveland meta as well
neptune chapayev tashkent all good with augment
but maybe no need for now

so like this
that is cleve meta not cleve fleetbuilder not updated I think or i have wrong link

[forest palm]

bug Ren they're the one that forked it

[undone plover]

i will remind him later

[forest palm]

it is funny cause Lexii is there

[undone plover]

yeah so is porter

[forest palm]

Cleveland Meta erasure

[ivory sigil]

Good morning,

does 67 BigSeven have 7 ship having the same skill name? If that true then how does it able to fit in 1 fleet? despite there is only 6 slot, not 7.

[soft raft]

1. They're all battleships so you cant even stuff more than 3 in the fleet
2. The name "Big 7" is a historical reference referring to the 7 battleships that had 16 inch/406mm guns before the Washington Naval Treaty

[ivory sigil]

Why does Z23 is called Nimi in the emoji list?

[soft raft]

Nickname based off of the Japanese pronounciation of her name

[hollow plank]

what happens when you buy a random loot bag skin from the package but the one you get , you already have?

[soft raft]

The skin bag?
Full gem refund for that skin's value

[hollow plank]

aAHH THANKS!

[spice phoenix]

which ships (except cowpens and both ur ships) are noteworthy for endgame content? (from this event)

[mighty tulip]

Since I’ve already retrofitted Portland I can retire all the dupes of her right?

[fair musk]

how do i unlock sp? i just finished b3 and im wondering how to get to sp because its asking me to clear required stage

[soft raft]

That's really it
Elites should be painfull obvious and Cleveland META just doesnt stand out too much

[ivory pawn]

The required stage is Hard Mode of B3, aka D3.

[soft raft]

Clear D3 (Aka Hard mode version of B)

/hardmode as to how to access it if you didn't know already

[odd root]

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

[ivory pawn]

Yep, no reason to keep her dupes anymore.

[fair musk]

ty @ivory pawn @soft raft

[balmy skiff]

am i missing out heavily after not pulling raffaello bismarck von lexington zwei?

[boreal merlin]

Whats the benefit of no intercept fighters?

[white agate]

mainly missing on lexi 2

[hollow gust]

Not pulling Bismarck is a pretty huge loss , Lexy is less but most people can't be picky

[white agate]

bis 2 will rerun and raffaello is just ok

[ivory pawn]

Bis 2 already reran tho.

[white agate]

by rerun i mwan perma

should be in like 6 months?

[hollow gust]

Raffey is busted asf in campaign too

[soft raft]

Rocket Fighters are basically exclusively used in Operation Siren due to that lack of interception, tho in exchange they drop rockets that behave like faster converging torpedoes that dont really need slow/freeze as much as TBs do

[white agate]

can manage withou her, but yes, she is reliable

[ivory sigil]

Hmm the boss of 12-4 is harder than boss 12-1 right?
Does this team handicap too much or it is abit okay to farm exp 12-1

[ivory pawn]

As an individual fight she is yes.

[ivory sigil]

I dont wanna changing gear too much from my original team but yeah i do switch 2 which is Beaver Badge and Hydraulic gold onto Sandy

[hollow gust]

wtf are those comps

[weary gust]

Bro those fleets should be slaughtering 12-4 even if that's lethal and the comps are whack.

[ivory sigil]

It is safe

[hollow gust]

Comp is shit but the ships are strong enough

[weary gust]

Then as long as they're geared even remotely somewhat decently they will stomp it.

[balmy skiff]

is it a huge loss not pulling lex2?

[weary gust]

In the grand scheme of things no.
Possibly she will be best in slot for a very specific instance of a light armor boss in the future.

[silent zodiac]

So just curious, what common ships, if any, are useful or interesting. Like, I've heard Ranger can be a rng meme, and Nevada/Oklahoma can serve as cheap off flag bbs if/when needed

[hollow gust]

For most people yes

She is more then capable on all armor types , and will likely be your best carrier

Saying she not useful just cause she is a light armor specialist is just stupid

[balmy skiff]

but what if i own
-shinano
-york2
-hakuhou
-fritz
-cvmagi
-hakuryuu
-avp
-implac

[hollow gust]

then you can have a carrier for light armor too??

if you can afford to get lexy why tf would you hesitate....

[fleet marten]

Is it ok to Skip on WDP?

[hollow gust]

willam is free.....

[fleet marten]

I haven't gotten too much points on her due to being busy, and I might only get Lex 2 as of now

How many estimated points and sorties is needed to get at least one copy of her?

[ivory pawn]

There is nothing in the event shop more worth buying than WDP. Ofc depending on your current progress it may or may not be possible currently.

[hollow gust]

practically non considering how much free currency you get

[rain bobcat]

do the quests

willy is like legit piss easy to get within 5 hrs

[fleet marten]

this might be easier if I logged in early , might do the quests

Looks promising

[white agate]

12-1 is the best stage to exp farm per oil
the xhapter 11 does not give chips iirc

[hollow gust]

you get like 400 from just finishing missions

[white agate]

they need to pull those ships first

[junior walrus]

Is Yorktown 2 worth putting resources into if I can’t MLB?

[hollow gust]

you wait till you can afford to max limitbreak her

[rain bobcat]

you can simply raise her to 120 instead and chill

[ivory sigil]

Hmm i did test on 12-4 them and the mobfleet is surviving with 70% Hp of vanguardsFleet

Meanwhile the Bossfleet also similar with 80%...

[fleet marten]

I've only done 80 pulls and got Cowpens and Cleve Meta, no coins left, but currently sortieing for points, HELP though does a lot for lost time exchange for faster Morale drop

[junior walrus]

Also as a newish player what do I spend event tokens on that is generally good

[rain bobcat]

when farming 12-4, ur not expected to do boss fleet with mob fleet which reduces difficulty massively

[soft raft]

There's a shop priority in the pinned Datamine Translated datamine

[zenith heron]

More like doable at best Rena, if you are currently doing sorties rn, in only takes one boss fight w the mentioned ships to get those

[ivory pawn]

You mean the missions that are only once a day? Can only get like ~110 ish if you start today.

Which still cuts the event currency cost to under 15k, still worth.

[hollow gust]

400 is if you started from day 1

[ivory sigil]

I think the bossfleet can be handicap for more, aka beating the boss S score with around 30%-60% HP remand...

Is there any vanguard member i could replace those lv120 in my vanguardbossfleet?

[woven star]

Hm. Maybe I little bit overfarm

[ivory sigil]

I dont think there is other person in the list rn

Guess i will replace them with Guam and Laffey2 in next week?

Or i should lv up Clarence KB to lv100 and give her a try?

( or maybe lv70 is enough for survive 12-4 boss?)

[hollow gust]

just dump a useful ship like kazagumo

if she isnt durable enough then she can sit in dorm for a few days

[ivory sigil]

Yeah it's been her 5th day in dorm rn, im still lvling her ability, apparently lv8/10

[woven star]

Just put Kurumi as a tank and few lvl 100 ships behind

[weary gust]

Ehh, 12-4 boss likes to nip weak vanguards with torps, so squishy/underleveled vanguards tend to go down randomly.

[rigid onyx]

the real solution to pushing w12 is to overfarm in d3 until level advantage makes it trivial

wait this is exp farm

[woven star]

I miss a lot so yeah I can't understand wth you talking about. 12-4 normal safe and boss hard? Gear issues

[rigid onyx]

i just realized im stupid and have like 5k cog chips in hard mode 3 stars

[rapid shard]

Other than Peashooter does kazagumo want anything specific gear wise?

[robust plinth]

ships store the xp they gain from battles even when they're lvl 110 right? so if you increase the level it will carry over. but what about dorm exp?

[rapid shard]

You can store up to 3mil xp from sortie xp but dorm does not store any additional xp when they hit a lvl cap (100,105,110 etc)

[robust plinth]

so when the level cap is hit, dorm xp is wasted?

[rapid shard]

Correct, dorm will give 0xp to that unit when they are at a cap

[robust plinth]

any other way to increase morale other than dorm? also currently i have 4 slots. is there any difference in exp received if i put just 1 ship there?

[rigid onyx]

buy 2nd floor

[rapid shard]

2nd floor give increased morale recovery but doesnt give xp

[rigid onyx]

if you put 1 ship iirc that one ship gets more exp but the total exp is higher the more ships you put in

[robust plinth]

💀🥀need gems

thanks guyss

btw... if i joined a guild with maxed dock capacity upgrade... my dock capacity should've increased right?

[knotty jolt]

You need to buy the upgrades

Once you do tho they'll stay even if you leave guilds

[robust plinth]

ahhh i seee

is it worth tho? im guessing yes?

[weary gust]

It shouldn't take that long, you need 4-5k contribution to unlock, so 3ish weeks of being active.
Ofc it's worth it, effectively free dock slots.

[rapid shard]

Yeah cause only other way to get more dock space is gems

[slate siren]

does agir not have the awakening thing

[knotty jolt]

Not yet

[robust plinth]

no need for upgrading?

[slate siren]

pr4 that's crazy

[knotty jolt]

It will cost a fair bit of coins

[weary gust]

You need the contribution points to unlock the upgrade. Then you buy the upgrade with gold coins (infinitely farmable) and guild coins (not much use for them besides this).

[ivory sigil]

I just want to sandbox to check what lvl is the safe for exp farm in 12-4 that exclude gear wise. But yeah if i encounter an issue i would try farm in 12-1 then.

Btw Talk abiut Clarence, some people say she meh, some say she gud if were in USS, but there is a skill that relate to something Air Raid Assistance, who is the best one had this skill?

[knotty jolt]

All air raid assistance have the same base effect of +15% carrier and light carrier damage the differing effects are their secondary bonuses

Plus in a USS fleet like anti light with kearsage lexi2 york2

Kearsage has a skill that does the same as air raid assistance and it can't stack with it

[ivory sigil]

Hmm iirc Kurumi is low dps, but helpful for pretecting against suicide boat meanwhile tohka had a shield and good dps and Yamai have Pull enemy and great dps...

[rapid summit]

Can you get more than 1 Laffey II from exchange for LB her?

[ivory sigil]

Uhoh... i guess there isnt much choice,

[knotty jolt]

There are 2 during these sorts events

[rapid summit]

Okk ty

[knotty jolt]

One at 200 special event currency the other for 300

Granted idk what they'll cost since this is the first time a shop UR event got its rerun

[ivory sigil]

imagine someone had 2 of her in old event but didnt build her

and got 2 of more aka MLB without costing a single UR bulin

[rapid summit]

I don’t mind if that happens all I need is 1 more bulin

[knotty jolt]

suchi has a base lv1 laffey2 they used to high score in unzen's event EX

[ivory sigil]

Does that mean i can MLB william If her event rerun?

[rapid summit]

If Laffey II and Lex II are together do their skills activate?

[knotty jolt]

If you're referring to the AA debuff on laffey and Lexington's skill 2 buff on AA debuffed enemies yes it should

[uneven knot]

have they said when coin up is coming for plymouth yet?

[soft raft]

afaik no

[clear harbor]

If I bought a handful of these, do they give duplicates? Or is there duplicate protection?

[hexed glen]

You can get duplicates.

[rapid yoke]

How many ur bulins to mlb a ur?

[hexed glen]

4

[soft raft]

all non-research ships need 4 dupes/bullins to MLB

[spice phoenix]

does anyone know the ex boss armor type?

[rapid summit]

Okk ty

[thorn shoal]

can't think of who's going in the vanguard aside of laffey2

[whole crypt]

WDP?

[thorn shoal]

can't max her yet, no bulins

[ivory sigil]

laffey1 and laffey2 cant in samefleet right?

[whole crypt]

they can

[soft raft]

They're both completely different ships IRL and in-game so they can be in the same fleet

[whole crypt]

I'd probably just keep Laffey II and drop Baltimore for DPS or maybe Helena

why not Guam over Anchorage

[wicked dove]

Hi, how good is Lexington II? I somehow got a second copy as a new player

[soft raft]

Pretty good, especially against light armor

But of course, it's MLB or bust for all ships so you wont be using her for a long ass time

[whole crypt]

probably the best carrier you'll have for a while
meta wise she's mostly just for anti-light bossing

[wicked dove]

Ah ok

She’s literally the only ssr+ carrier i have rn lol

[thorn shoal]

guam can't take hits no?

[whole crypt]

bruh Guam is a CB

[thorn shoal]

from my past experiences she can't take hits but maybe it's just a skill issue on me

[whole crypt]

yes it is

[thorn shoal]

i'll try her again then

[whole crypt]

you're probably gearing her wrong or something

[thorn shoal]

it's the usual, washing machine + toolbox aux

[whole crypt]

like I won't necessarily say she's more durable than Anchorage but anything that can melt Guam should also melt Anchorage unless you're just invulgaming

[thorn shoal]

yea her dodge can be clutch

[whole crypt]

the only place where that matters is like EX hard

or I don't know are you trying to do 0 adapt harbiter or some shit

[thorn shoal]

forgot

[thorn shoal]

vh?

[whole crypt]

VH plate

[thorn shoal]

oh right

[whole crypt]

but yeh if that's antilight bossing I'd just drop Baltimore and put Aurora in the middle

[thorn shoal]

alright, thanks

[rain bobcat]

dw

ive seena guy say uvh> meck and that meck is not for bossing

funniest joke of january

[whole crypt]

there's a difference between mistakenly claiming it and being delusional 🙂

[vast sparrow]

What illustrious is better in my support fleet?

the muse or the normal one (Current setup - Illust, York2, Implac)

[rain bobcat]

probably normal, and also even if it wasn't the case muse isn't worth raising

[whole crypt]

if I remember correctly Muse is better because of slightly higher AVI

oh nevermind base has 10% higher fighter slot eff

[still drift]

14-4 boss fleet? okay?

[whole crypt]

Unzen is going to die

[still drift]

Litterly just coppied this Guide

[knotty jolt]

The bottom on the right row is front posistion

[whole crypt]

that's 123 left to right

[still drift]

Soo Napoli is tank?

[knotty jolt]

yes

[still drift]

and this mob?

[knotty jolt]

Where's unicorn

[whole crypt]

he's probably just copying from the fleet templates

[still drift]

....... i REALLY not wanna use Unicorn.....

[whole crypt]

what's wrong with Unicorn

[still drift]

i hate er

[knotty jolt]

[whole crypt]

sucks then she's just the best healer in the game

[still drift]

i thought Perseus is

[whole crypt]

nope

[knotty jolt]

Perseus was at one point but power creep

[still drift]

DAMNIT.......

[whole crypt]

also I highly recommend at least lv120 for anything you bring to 14

[still drift]

So i have to use unicorn.......

[whole crypt]

125 is strongly recommended

[still drift]

ohh im gonna use my 9k EXP books do not worry

[whole crypt]

good luck wasting books on Shimanto

why not just level normally at ch12 before trying

[still drift]

i have 9000 T1 EXP Data books..... why wasting my time there?

[whole crypt]

because you can't have 9k books

[knotty jolt]

isn't max holdable blue xp books 3k

[still drift]

idk what the Hard limit is, i just never used them at this point

[whole crypt]

Shimanto is a prefectly capable ship and there's definitely other shitty ships that can use XP packs, unless you're just not leveling for tech

[still drift]

me leveling for tech? Not really... i just mostly Level my Big Booba Ships...

[rain bobcat]

pretty sure that template hinges on levels and gear a lot because its a "unicorn only needs to preload heal and heal one more time before everything dies" type of concept

ie if you cant meet the dps you will slowly wither and die

[still drift]

i mean.... i had those 2 options

[whole crypt]

that template hasn't been updated for about a year and a half but yeh

[still drift]

what would u update?

[whole crypt]

Eldridge retrofit good

[still drift]

eldride instead of?

[whole crypt]

depends if you intend to just copy those templates and replace 1 ship or rebuild the fleets completely

Musashi or Raff are probably better options nowadays for the BB too

[rain bobcat]

fdg there is prox barrage since its 1 BB

[whole crypt]

this guide was written not very long after Guam's event as far as I know, we kind of moved on from there
BFG on Aquila is kind of sus because concealment fucks with rocket targeting

[stark quiver]

Whats good gph

[whole crypt]

ch16

[stark quiver]

that’s not good

[whole crypt]

you can do it alpha, be the first to guide us through the new stage

[rain bobcat]

isnt that for BBs

[whole crypt]

if it was a La-9 maybe? BFGs are shit on heavy

if I'm not mistaken that's for sniping AA/repair or rammers

[stark quiver]

You’d probably find the absolutely worst cooks of all time

[still drift]

WQhen the F did i Level up Unicorn......... God Damnit......

[whole crypt]

she is the best healer in the game so naturally it happens if you've even used her at all

[viscid swift]

Just link them the end game tier list and let them sort by w14 mobs and bosses

[still drift]

Question,,,, what Plane should i use if i not have more than 1 of those UR Brit planes?

[whole crypt]

he's copy and pasting from the templates on 14 guide, somewhat aged, probably also no idea on how to customize/improve

lol msgk

[still drift]

HEY i Can only Copy Paste..... im not very good in doing my Own stuff..... I litterly just play mostly with my Waifus ....

[stark quiver]

Understandable

[knotty jolt]

she looks ok, but im praying on those skills being good

[still drift]

again, what Plane can i use instead of UR Plane?

[knotty jolt]

Breguts

[still drift]

whut'

[knotty jolt]

The french torpedo bomber

[still drift]

the BR.810?

ahhh thanks

[slow fox]

109.22%

[knotty jolt]

The reason being the wyvern and breguts can intercept aircraft like fighters

[whole crypt]

ch14 is still effectively part of the endgame, even with ch16 coming today there's no cap raise, so ch14 is still hard besides whatever powercreep happened since its launch
the templates are very basic to even start approaching ch14, you'll want to swap in better/newer ships if you have them and you can seek help for fleet building if you post your dock in a thread
I highly recommend waiting till everything is 125 before trying and probably just waiting for more gear or even just +13 on some of the pieces you're using now

[still drift]

Is there a better Choice for my Rumey instead of the Flapjack? i just have 1

[still drift]

my ENTIRE Dock?

Well..... to make it short....

i have ALL Ships in Game..

[whole crypt]

Flapjack is the best generic fighter now but tigercats are good too, if you don't have more consider farming some OS before trying

[pliant tiger]

It is weird seeing Azur Lane actually having an endgame, well, that is w15 too but still

[whole crypt]

14+ has always been part of the endgame

[stark quiver]

W15 is now early game

[rain bobcat]

rather than end endgame it's more just a slight bump along the road

[strong tartan]

16-4 is 132~ right?

[stark quiver]

Yes

[knotty jolt]

I still consider ch13 endgame territory cause at the very least you need to stop and think even if for a moment

[whole crypt]

highest is 132, likely for 16-4 boss

[pliant tiger]

14 does not feel that hard even when using some dumber challenge fleets

[whole crypt]

I mean I don't find 14 that hard nowadays but it was a challenge when it was added and it still is nowadays if you go in blind

[pliant tiger]

Even on 2020-2021 w13 was hard but nice to do with a challenge like the IB fleet that couldn't do much AA att

[strong tartan]

not bad

[still drift]

guess i just try with generic Fleet and gear then.

[whole crypt]

one second cooking up fleet

[still drift]

either it works and nice.....
or it doesent and i never try again.....

[sweet delta]

Does this beat boss

[rain bobcat]

[pliant tiger]

[knotty jolt]

I'll be impressed if it does

[rain bobcat]

I don't have high hopes

[pliant tiger]

Just wing it

[whole crypt]

worth a shot but 0 ammo is kind of sus

[rain bobcat]

nah its 1 ammo

[knotty jolt]

the fleet battling isn't the 0 ammo one

[pliant tiger]

It's not 0 ammo

[whole crypt]

it's stig I have no idea what he's cooking

[pliant tiger]

The 0 ammo is the rodney META, the boss fleet is on the boss node

[whole crypt]

oh I see it nevermind

should be fine I guess

[pliant tiger]

And there is no (no ammo) debuff on the screen

[whole crypt]

I'm not saying it won't work but you might have to reset if you roll bad on BBs

[safe nexus]

is there a use for messerschmitt Me-155A?

[knotty jolt]

Anti air

[strong tartan]

like maybe a small niche in ch 15 support fleets but I'm not confident in that

[pliant tiger]

Should I give it a shot if Gloucester does well in w14?

[still drift]

also.... farming OpSi is allready done..... this month sad....

[pliant tiger]

[whole crypt]

messershit is a budget cope option for support
it can work but you definitely want something better

[still drift]

bought that US UR Anti Air this Month.....

[strong tartan]

isn't the fockewuoflf a direct upgrade

[safe nexus]

do i just keep one of it just in case? i got 3

[knotty jolt]

you can actually scrap them

[safe nexus]

it legit seem of no use to me, i scrap then

[still drift]

ok soo i Try it now.... Praying to Big Booba God it works.. No idea what im doing...

[whole crypt]

G3R1 is better but it's not crafted from messershit so messershit itself is a dead end

[still drift]

thanks for the Help guys

[knotty jolt]

technically does upgrade from a messer just the bf109t instead of the me-155a

[safe nexus]

do i also just scrap BTD 1 destroyer?, idk if XTB2D-1 is worth or good at all

[whole crypt]

destroyer and skypirate are 🚮

[whole crypt]

[still drift]

That a OP Fleet?

[whole crypt]

it should work

problem remains that lethal 14 can just smelt your main fleet if you don't keep an eye on it

[knotty jolt]

Trust the process

[still drift]

Hmm i need to Work on Eld, Cowpens still, raffaello and Volga..... im ... idk im against russians for some.. reasson

[whole crypt]

there's no reliable lethal 14 that you can take your eyes off completely

[wind hazel]

fujinami torp lv120 tech?

[whole crypt]

my guess is yes but wait for ⛏️

[still drift]

ohhh it will... i am a AUTO Only player.. if i cant Play it on auto mode i not play it.. reason why i not play Campagne..

[wind hazel]

[whole crypt]

we are auto by default here

i Know i play AL since Release but i am also mentaly wise like the Newplayers nowdays.. Auto mode and just have it run in the Background while doing other stuff.

[wind hazel]

dead on arrival as always

[turbid marsh]

second skill basically self buff + chance of torp firing second time

[wind hazel]

nvm not dead on arrival

[strong tartan]

73%

[onyx flame]

oddly specific number

[strong tartan]

oddly specific

[viscid swift]

Meh, looks like more tech fodder as usual

[turbid marsh]

first buff: evey ijn character will buff her damage by 3%. reload and trp will buff by 5% up to 15. every 15 sec barrage. 30% chance of firing another torp, if fail, then special barrage upgrade, up to 3 times only.

[viscid swift]

It's probably 70%

[knotty jolt]

Blame the copy paste google translate

[still drift]

BTW Guys PLS Tell me They not REALLY Put Iowa as reward for 16-4.....

[still drift]

for a Loser like me that would be devestating..

[still drift]

Fuji whooo?

[wind hazel]

it is 73% on the datamine

maybe an error

[viscid swift]

IJN Dd

[turbid marsh]

u really think they putting UR ship in campaign

[viscid swift]

Sunk with will hands at Leyte Gulf

[wind hazel]

or maybe actually intended 73% maybe lore

[still drift]

Ahh saw her up there. ROGER DD, Smol Booba... good for me i not Need her...

Puuhhh was scared a HUGE icon gonna be in the Campagne..

[safe nexus]

type 0 fighter 52 good?

ty

[stray frost]

Should i put my autoloader on Bismarck or Spee

[whole crypt]

Start of battle, generate shield for all IJN vanguard units, shields are 5% of ship HP, last 20s, adds 10%TRP while up. If shield is destroyed or timed out heal 4%. Avoid lethal damage once, after which 73% chance of 5s perfect evasion, if fail to proc heal 8%

Start of battle, 3% dmg, 5% RLD/TRP for every IJN ship in fleet (max 3 stacks). after start of battle barrage every 15s, 30% double torp, if double torp fails to proc improve next barrage (up to 3 times)

[knotty jolt]

ay you got the 73% too

[whole crypt]

73 probably as a "nami" meme

[wind hazel]

weebs be like, perfect IJN full DD fleet

[onyx flame]

neither, autoloader only used to adjust timing for bb

[slow fox]

Do you think a consistent 14-3/4H mob fleet is possible?

archerfisher andflasher .

[pliant tiger]

The collab ship and another one I forgot

Wasn't it the collab sub?

[whole crypt]

honestly I don't think we'll have a 100% consistent 14-4 fleet, at least not on lethal

[wind hazel]

that's bossing specific one, homura and i forgot who

[knotty jolt]

senran kagura girl

[pliant tiger]

Yeah, Homura

[stray frost]

What if i just time it myself

[strong tartan]

akemi

[knotty jolt]

i don't think that's how timing works but ok

[whole crypt]

at a glance Fujinami isn't completely DOA but same issue being if you can get her you have better ships/you won't need her

[slow fox]

rip

[stray frost]

You are talking about auto right?

[stark quiver]

wdym?
they can lit turn on manual and time themselves

[stray frost]

Thats what im thinking

[whole crypt]

everything is auto here except maybe specific EX strats

[wind hazel]

brother, timing bismarck or spee yeah ok

[pliant tiger]

Oh yeah, homura and U-556 META i think

[wind hazel]

next im gonna time my saratoga and my shimakaze

[knotty jolt]

if we're timing then there will be debuffers and idk if they'll wait for you to get all your shots loaded for full salvo

[onyx flame]

by timing i mean in auto and for either syncing the 3 backliners, or squeezing out another salvo during a fight.
if your not doing either of this there better auxs to use

[stray frost]

I just use them whenever they're needed

I hardly ever wait for a full volley

Im trying to pump out more shots

[wind hazel]

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

this might help you

[rain bobcat]

what does she do

[knotty jolt]

fire control radars would be better then

[stray frost]

Where would i get those

[knotty jolt]

luckily for you the table has been added to core data

[stray frost]

Im a beginner

I don't have data cores

[knotty jolt]

you got something to work towards then cause ideally those should be one of the first options you grab other when white and black shells

7 is used as na for number ateji

it's probably a nami joke because a lot of the yuugumos are something-nami

[wind hazel]

im too uncultured to know what is ateji

[whole crypt]

ateji is when you use a character just for its reading instead of its meaning

[bleak junco]

Isnt Musashi perma now?

[knotty jolt]

it's why i rephrased on second message

[bleak junco]

Ohhh okay

[knotty jolt]

also musashi is just strong enough to warrant possible use of bulins

[wind hazel]

not with that account

[whole crypt]

Musashi is a higher priority LB even being perm if you don't have enough good BB options

[knotty jolt]

well obviously with that much yeah

[twilit rapids]

preparing to switch from wolfpack to 404 2 fish and have 6 +13 bidders, keep them or switch to +10 rainbow g7e or +13 gold g7e?

[wind hazel]

go with rainbow

[whole crypt]

a newer player now will benefit hugely from LBing Musashi than waiting on any new URs until we get the next OP BB

[knotty jolt]

My eyes tunnel to hard when looking at stuff

[rain bobcat]

its like kurumi being 963

[wind hazel]

my first time hearing kurumi 963

[whole crypt]

well for numbers it's usually called goroawase too

[stark quiver]

3d5

[whole crypt]

3d5 happens but JP also just calls sandy ego sometimes

[rain bobcat]

usually they only get used as online nicknames/ very lazy chat

[wind hazel]

oh, yeah ive seen some from CN side when playing priconne. muimi=511

[whole crypt]

2333

[rain bobcat]

like some games completely blocking off japanese and displaying them as boxes

[whole crypt]

also kearsarge being 7234 in CN

[wind hazel]

i miss priconne

calling unit as dog, wolf, water mum

[whole crypt]

well part of those are nicknames

anyway #off-topic

[ivory sigil]

i almost thought there is a collab of us AZ and prico

[zealous bough]

as a new would it be better to buy the porter dupe in the shop or as money items as 32k points can get u

[wind hazel]

porter dupe

but make sure you can actually buy the 2nd dupe after converting

[whole crypt]

I ended at 110k what to do with excess points

[zealous bough]

how do u get enough oil

[whole crypt]

by being 👴

[rain bobcat]

how much oil do you get yearly on mail again

100k?

[wind hazel]

you guys count?

[weary edge]

does shimanto use the 550 twin torpedo?

[rain bobcat]

she can

[weary gust]

Definitely not 100k. Maybe like 60k.

[rain bobcat]

id rather just use the purple triple mag or duo duo

[whole crypt]

if we have maint say 30 weeks out of 52 in a year with an average of around 4k per maint that's 120k

I think that's a reasonable ballpark to go off

[weary gust]

We get 2k oil per maint ...

[rain bobcat]

2.5-5k

+amenities here and there

[wind hazel]

when do we get 5k

isnt it usually 2.5 or 3k

[rain bobcat]

when theres extension

[weary gust]

Does CN/JP get more oil from maint or something? Where tf are you getting more than 2k regularly

[rain bobcat]

its like +1k or 2k on extension usually

[weary gust]

It's 2k like 95% of the time.

[wind hazel]

fairer to use 3k as average

[whole crypt]

3k I guess
but I'm also lowballing the number of maint at 30

[wind hazel]

which is still around 100k i guess, plus some event stuff and whatnot

[whole crypt]

it's definitely over 100k each year

[wind hazel]

i should start saving

[weary gust]

I'm in danger of being attacked by the USA, 272k in storage.

[stark quiver]

dont you zero out

[wind hazel]

that's why i wanna save

[stark quiver]

i still have 40k or something

[wind hazel]

40k richer than me

[stark quiver]

i only pull out oil when i have a pvp ship to level

[whole crypt]

I still have around 120k in storage but my current oil is like 2k+

[weary gust]

I barely keep below natural regen cap, except during heavy grinding on occasional events when I have more time off from work.

[whole crypt]

well it was rough between leveling DAL ships and this event

it's probably going to be another 20k or so for ch16
then back to saving with Guam rerun until CNY raid

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 imma just clear then wait for clearing mode

[whole crypt]

crap I haven't counted Fujinami farming

[rain bobcat]

[whole crypt]

[wind hazel]

surely we gonna be lucky and get first map drop

[crisp wraith]

I spent a lot from my storage trying to finish my fleet tech.

[knotty jolt]

I got 193k in storage waiting to be used

[crisp wraith]

How long did it took for w15 to get cost limit again?

[stark quiver]

whos we

[wind hazel]

me and nnt, you excluded

[stark quiver]

like a few months i think

[crisp wraith]

Damn

[stark quiver]

I have nothing

[wind hazel]

damn even your coin is poor

[crisp wraith]

I'm more surprised at the coin storage

[knotty jolt]

My coin storage is 0 cause im constantly spending

[stark quiver]

i log on 3 times a day to do pvp
so as youd expect, im always low on coins

[whole crypt]

close to half a year off the top of my head, cheeky might have kept better track of the schedule

[wind hazel]

wiki to rescue

[crisp wraith]

Oh no! Looking up information myself!

[whole crypt]

I don't remember when ch15 was added date wise but clearing mode was close to end of year

[wind hazel]

jan 18 2024 added clearing mode

[crisp wraith]

It was like, two months before Guam I think?

[whole crypt]

well I can look it up but it's not really relevant for me

[wind hazel]

oct 19 2023 ch15

[whole crypt]

so 3 months ish

[plain saffron]

So what's the gimmick for w16?

[weary gust]

Enemy stronk

[plain saffron]

I'm at lunch

[wind hazel]

dont you know malaysians employer force you to work during lunch

[inner delta]

is cn server up

[plain saffron]

They already forcing me to work overtime unpaid

[wind hazel]

no, is that an issue

[plain saffron]

Hmm so capturing base, fog of war

[inner delta]

might be

[plain saffron]

I thought the ban was lifted

[inner delta]

just uh delete it

[wind hazel]

bruh i thought we lifted datamining

[inner delta]

yea

but thats like

well

[plain saffron]

:murm:

[wind hazel]

whatever you say boss

[plain saffron]

It's the ingame tips image

[wind hazel]

you guys should really really come up with what's ok and what's not ok. so far we know ships stats ok, story not ok. now even ingame tips might not be ok

[whole crypt]

or is this just the "not okay before server is up" thing

[stark quiver]

lmk when server is up then
i DO NOT have the images translated

[inner delta]

what else do you want me to ask other than that tips

that often came up here

[whole crypt]

anyway CN maintenance is on for another 1.5 hours

barring any delays/early opening

[balmy skiff]

is missing LexLuther2 a huge loss despite me owning implac,shinano,york2,fritz,cvmagi,hakuhou,avp,haku,cowpens and unikai?

[whole crypt]

can you not pity the banner or what

[wind hazel]

cant think of anything else, new ingame tips are very rare so it's usually just new ship stats that we already covered

[inner delta]

if anyone else want to add to the what is fine and not ping me
because tips was not in my mind when all these shit came up but i think its fine because they are more worried about ship/lore based

[crisp wraith]

I'm not sure what else we got that's gph repeated. Freaking uh… barrage animation?

[wind hazel]

ask if the new ship drop png is considered ok or not

[whole crypt]

msgk good

[inner delta]

oh that one is actually not ok

[wind hazel]

RIP cheeky

[inner delta]

until you can access the server

smh ratting him out

welp

[rapid shard]

cheeky got his datamine job back just to lose it again

[whole crypt]

so just to be clear that exact same pic is ok regardless of how it was obtained as long as it's only posted after servers are back live

[inner delta]

yea because its not "leaks" when server is up

because you can see it yourself in game without any tools

[cobalt gate]

is maintance in a few hours or tommrow?

[inner delta]

this applies to lore and shit too

[crisp wraith]

Former

[whole crypt]

fairly sure when I see it in game it's not a png with a checkered transparent layer but sure

[crisp wraith]

In about 1 hour 20 mins to be exact

[whole crypt]

CN finish maint -> EN start maint

[vale spindle]

with just pure names and stats its fine cause we are just 'guessing' until servers are live and we get plausible deniability

[still drift]

@whole crypt BTW... i just realised.. u Are GENEROUS with the UR Planes, DAMNH...... i just have 1 Wyvern. UR Gear is not really the stuff i own LOL

[whole crypt]

downgrade to next best
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/
or like I said just spend some time leveling and farming OS

[still drift]

well this month i allready farmed OS and bought the UR American AA

[knotty jolt]

just deleted my translation to not get get smited

[vale spindle]

accoreding to patch notes we get the chapter 14 mechanic of fog / lighthouse shit, chapter 15 mechanic of the air support shit, and some new submarine mechanic i believe

[still drift]

sooo.... ask again in 23 Days LUL

[whole crypt]

you don't "farm OS" in 8 days, you grind it daily for missions

[wind hazel]

crafting 76UR when you only have 1 wyvern doesn't sound like the best decision

[still drift]

?

[wind hazel]

76UR is a very late end item to craft

[inner delta]

the whole ordeal of this move was staff does not like especially when lore/ship story are getting leaked before the game opens, so they said its fine for stats and not the ship itself

[wind hazel]

there are A LOT more gear lab priorities that you should craft before 76UR

[whole crypt]

let's not even mention you're missing 3 more weeks of strongholds and multiple chances at more sbyssals

[slow fox]

-# We truly DO must blame #al-lore

[inner delta]

yea you do

[vale spindle]

update ur pin to say 'new images from in-game regardless of the content are not allowed until game is live' or something idk

[crisp wraith]

I haven't read story since York2

[still drift]

thats all UR i have.

[inner delta]

i did

[knotty jolt]

get another wyvern

[vale spindle]

u didn't mention game assets specifically

[wind hazel]

what about gold gear

[whole crypt]

clearly you're not doing it completely wrong with research at least but you need to be more consistent with OS farming if you want to craft more lab

[vernal sand]

How do I get levels quick in the early game so I can stop dieing on the story missions

[still drift]

Gold gear is Looking better yeah

[plain saffron]

Bcs i thought it's back to normal after your latest announcement. so i guess it's now, if you can see ingame after server up it's fine?

[inner delta]

yea

[plain saffron]

So back to the 1st ban announcement

[inner delta]

the stats is fine to post

[whole crypt]

spend $5
otherwise it's going to be slow in early game there's no way around it
also https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/ https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

[inner delta]

again just not the ship

[still drift]

YEAH, always when there is a MAJOR Event i always Slack in OS..... my Weakpoint.

[slow fox]

-# Skill descriptions?

[inner delta]

skill is fine

[vale spindle]

just say game assets its easier that way

[slow fox]

-# lets go eHP calcs ONLINE

[zealous bough]

is the server going down 15 mins?

[plain saffron]

So only stuff in latest pin is fine and only AFTER game is up?

[long pulsar]

Any idea of what to expect in W16?

[whole crypt]

+1 hour

[whole crypt]

all we know is part of some of the new mechanics, not exactly how it'll work

[inner delta]

you can post the skill and stats

[still drift]

iwonder more whats the Next Event.

[knotty jolt]

already deleted my post translating the skills oh well

[whole crypt]

#gameplay-help message

[stark quiver]

so no game mechs yet

[rain bobcat]

[inner delta]

ship design, maybe extend it for weapon images and lore/story is no go

i haven't gotten a reply for the tips yet

[whole crypt]

next event is Guam rerun next week
next new event we don't yet know

[stark quiver]

oh right you just asked

[still drift]

i COULD make a Wyveern... if i would not be out of those

[plain saffron]

Yeah I'm even going to bother, time to move everything to site

[whole crypt]

which is why you need to be clearing OS more consistently

[still drift]

i mean i cleared OS, all i can do now is those Dailys.

[plain saffron]

When will we get actual full detailed rules

[knotty jolt]

Never

[vale spindle]

when they hire me to be their community manager

[knotty jolt]

When are rules ever so laid out and clear?

[still drift]

BTW Mid is Tank? right?

[vale spindle]

the slot labeled '1' is the tank, '2' is middle, '3' is offtank

[inner delta]

seems like its fine for tips, but well if staff every change it again ill tell you. But the main focus of this ban is once again for the lore/ships png leaks

[wind hazel]

1 napoli tank
2 unzen middle
3 plymouth off tank

[plain saffron]

And after the cn maint done or not?

[whole crypt]

but I like the msgk png

[wind hazel]

1 musashi flag
2 lion top
3 volga bottom

[plain saffron]

For the ships, not lore

[ivory sigil]

Wait is that number is automatically ?

[inner delta]

pngs/lore is after maint, stats/skill/tips before maint is fine

[whole crypt]

just assume by order the slots fill when you add ships on formation screen

[plain saffron]

So ship stuff is fine before maint, lore stuff after maint/timegate

[wind hazel]

ok lunch time revoked, you can translate ingame tips

[inner delta]

yea

[whole crypt]

it's always tank first then mid then off tank
flagship then top then bottom

[still drift]

ahhh thanks those fleet build stuff is new to me

[inner delta]

just dont attach the ship png

[knotty jolt]

quick, put a black bar over her eyes to hide their identity

[wind hazel]

that makes it lewd

[plain saffron]

But we can already see ships from announcement

[stark quiver]

i have them translated

[whole crypt]

black bar over msgk eyes definitely works

[inner delta]

but its not announced yet

[wind hazel]

actually share

[inner delta]

[plain saffron]

[vale spindle]

yea i checked weibo and jp twitter i don't see ship design yet

[whole crypt]

we know it's fujinami we just don't know she's a cute msgk yet

[plain saffron]

Post ship image but censor everything except guns

[inner delta]

"if it's actual leak (as in character that doesn't appear in story that's available to read openly)" this is from res

[still drift]

sorry guys if i come off as dumb etc, but as i am swiss and my Language barrier and that i am not a sweat in AL more focused on just collecting Waifus makes stuff...... Hard sometimes for me.

[plain saffron]

So if she was announced, posting full ship pics is fine?

[inner delta]

yis

[knotty jolt]

I too am not sweat but I do like seeing numbers get bigger

[plain saffron]

Thanks for clarifying yuki

[whole crypt]

well it's annoying technicalities, we don't actually have leaks its all in-game data

[inner delta]

yea sorry i forgot that part, technically the ships was in the stream already so technically not a leak

[wind hazel]

wait wait wait wait, the submarine support is... actually submarine fighting, and not our main fleet?

[plain saffron]

Quick post ship pics

[stark quiver]

go magnefying glass it

[ivory sigil]

I thought we had too much msgk in game already? Was Felix and Donkois are latest?

[stark quiver]

so just fog of war
Important to know that clearing one mob = one vision level , reach certain amt of vision threshold to show boss
I guess more air power rating = more powerful fleet for Fog Of War 1
And you wont know what youre fighting
islands and shit can be actual enemy nodes that you send big airstrike to blow up
Enemies have certain degrees of enhancement based off your visibility range
Dont think there is multiple boss

[plain saffron]

Submarine important now??

[whole crypt]

is that on weibo?

[stark quiver]

what is weibo

[knotty jolt]

Wait, we're actually attacking the terrain ingame now?

[vale spindle]

no

[whole crypt]

were the original screens JP or CN

[plain saffron]

Those are bases like in previous event right?

[slow fox]

Thank you Yuki for keeping it REAL

[stark quiver]

not in sortie i think
you probbaly get an nuke strike to take it out

[vale spindle]

chinese social media platform similar to facebook

[whole crypt]

or was it up somewhere

[plain saffron]

Capture base to get buffs

[stark quiver]

5467

[still drift]

i now JUST realized...... MAYBE i should not have made that US UR AA..... DAMNIT...

[plain saffron]

Six sev-

[crisp wraith]

It says you can destroy them with CV support fleet bombing.

[whole crypt]

oh #, might be CN dtm then

[stark quiver]

blow shit up to get less fucky enemies

[crisp wraith]

Like uh… Boris in Red Alert 2 calling in Migs?

[plain saffron]

I see

[crisp wraith]

Why did I use that example

[stark quiver]

im thinking to start with

musashi, aql, unicorn, z52, someone, eld/
raff, unicorn, good cv, z52, someone, eld
boss fleet tbd
but it also seems to have many-a-battleship nodes like w14

[whole crypt]

that's literally my wall of text in pictures

[knotty jolt]

last time i remember we did anything with terrain was the weird things in italian event i think it was with AA guns vs planes

[stark quiver]

yes

[wind hazel]

so there are 5 bases, but we only have 2 strikes

[stark quiver]

are there 5 or are there 1-2 per map and differnt for each 16-x

[slow fox]

So W14 is BBhell, W15 is AAhell, and W16 is whack-a-mole

[wind hazel]

idk, ask datamine team

[vale spindle]

w16 is my hell i haven't even 100% 15-4 yet

[wind hazel]

jk dont ask datamine team
