[wind hazel]

wait for new data keys in 6hours

[rapid tusk]

When farming for passionate polaris SP5, I should have auto clearing on yea?

[wind hazel]

yes

[rapid tusk]

Ok thanks

[wind hazel]

remember to use your HECLP too

[rapid tusk]

HECLP?

[wind hazel]

high efficiency combat logistics plan

[rapid tusk]

Is there any info in the guide about this?

[wind hazel]

i dont think they mention it

it's just to get double rewards for one single data key, making the best out of your limited entry per day

so instead of 4 times, you essentially get 8 if you use it

[rapid tusk]

Ah okay cool!

[soft raft]

The HELP plans are basically timesavers
Think of them as doing 2 runs at once, which means double everything (including the negatives) except # of runs

[rapid tusk]

Are these 2 fine to use? Not sure what the best options are out of what I have

[soft raft]

Sure whatever
min-maxxing cats outside of just getting two SSR ones to lvl 30 is basically only something endgame players with literally nothing else to spend coins on bother with

tho it is worth noting that there's the pirate themed SSR Cats which are very solid cats if you dont particuarlly care about cat min-maxxing

[slow fox]

Did I put WDP on there wtf

omg I did :sextsuki:

[worthy prairie]

I need help building the fleet for W13

[trail dagger]

Is wvyern better to craft than spearfish? On the guide it said spearfish rated worse because it is cheaper. I don't quite understand

[hollow gust]

The spearfish is a lot more expensive

[ivory pawn]

UR ords are rarer than UR plans, that’s all.

[wind hazel]

which guide are you looking at

[trail dagger]

This one

[peak fable]

wait wtf, can destroyers also shoot submarine torps on the map???

[rapid shard]

Thats referring to wyvern being cheaper than spear

[trail dagger]

Ahh okay, so it was the other way around ,okayy thank youu

[toxic night]

I came back after not playing for like 3 years and wtf is all this 3D ship stuff, is it important or can I ignore it

[trail dagger]

Oh yah i misunderstood XD

[wind hazel]

ngl it is kinda hard to tell which the "it" is referring to

[peak fable]

my guess would be private quarters

and probably the island planner

[wind hazel]

im talking about the spearfish wyvern note

[toxic night]

Yeah both of these and project identity

[peak fable]

they are all optional, I've been skipping them all

[autumn pumice]

Hey, quick reminder, those support fleets in 16-3 with CVs, they don't bomb stuff, only intercept, right?

[toxic night]

I feel so outdated in this game, last big change I remember was when operation siren came out

[peak fable]

dont worry, just continue grinding chapter 12 for the rest of your life and you're good

[autumn pumice]

do I give support CVs avi aux gear or AA aux gear?

[wind hazel]

avi

[peak fable]

can someone answer me this, I legit just saw my Hatsuzuki reduce an enemy fleet's hp by 20%

[toxic night]

12-4 grind for coins never ends

[peak fable]

oh wait, is this a cat ability???

[signal geyser]

Yep

[rigid onyx]

the coin grind famously does end

[rapid shard]

Will a 15-4 fleet work for 16-1/2?

[stark quiver]

whats your 15-4 fleet

[wind hazel]

1 and 2 are kinda trash so very likely yes

[stark quiver]

i have faith

[rapid shard]

Is 16-1/2 plane heavy or mainly subs?

[stark quiver]

enemy shelling heavy
but its really easy trust me

[rapid shard]

Eh I survived all the heavy shelling stages no problem so shouldn't be too bad then

[scarlet cosmos]

how is oumi in mobs compared to boss?

[rapid shard]

She does pretty good at least for me. Handled mob for W14 with ease

[rapid shard]

Yeah you was right, even boss is stupid easy even with completely ignoring subs cause I have none for support fleet

[stark quiver]

id use subs in support fleet and go 0 subs in surface fleet

[bright tusk]

Is this large treasure fleet easier than medium recon fleet or medium recon fleet still easier?

[silver lintel]

Whats 16-1/2 boss armor type

[rapid shard]

Do they actually impact the fight at all? Only "issue" was the no ammo fight with Sandy just randomly going from 2/3rd health to next to zero randomly

[stark quiver]

what impact?

[tropic tusk]

can i use like lion ,uni , laffy2 instead of rafflio , cow laffy2? for 16-1

[rapid shard]

Support subs for that first "fight" I just threw 3 lv70 0lbs ones that did nothing but didnt have any trouble with the boss

[stark quiver]

thats cuz the boss is easy
but honestly it doesnt matter

[tropic tusk]

nice thx imma try it

[rapid shard]

I just hit the autofill and sent it. Does doing more dmg to Atago make the mob fights easier then?

[stark quiver]

i think so
or boss idk

[rapid shard]

Im still gonna keep ignoring subs then haven't actually needed them at all still

[keen owl]

Do i switch Leona With EU sub?

[stark quiver]

youll need them in -3 and -4

[keen owl]

These are the subs i train. Should i use the UR or the Combo subs?

[stark quiver]

replace with 404

[rapid shard]

Are they actually needed? I aint going for lethal 3rd star

[stark quiver]

i needed subs to normal clear nodes
granted my fleets and gear were unoptimal but still

if YOU dont use them during clears, you will experience something known as ultimate demise

[keen owl]

Thanks. Do i just need strong torps stats for support SS?

[rapid shard]

Well shit, sounds like I should start sorting them out then. Cause my fleet above is about the best I can make currently and you definitely better geared than my "optimal" setups are lol

[rain bobcat]

mobs are fucked even with ammo and if you dont take optimal path, 1 out of ammo is all it takes to die

[stark quiver]

put 404, flasher and archerfish as support subs

motherfuckers with 404 have it good

[rain bobcat]

do you not

[rapid shard]

Seems like everyone is using raff 2 healers for -3 and -4 and still having issues. Is mobs for those stages that rough?

[stark quiver]

shes lvl 99 blud

[rain bobcat]

yes

[keen owl]

Oh not for call in subs? have these equipped on them

[rapid shard]

Im also gonna gonna assume no raff=living hell?

[rain bobcat]

out of ammo fights are practically churches because you have to pray you win

[stark quiver]

yah

[rain bobcat]

sashi probably works with aquila cowpen

uni is not gonna do shit

[rapid shard]

Is vanguard pressure not that bad or is it just nonstop backline shelling?

[stark quiver]

vanguard pressure is just as bad as backline pressure

[rain bobcat]

it's still there but backline is worse

imagine 14H but uncheesable

[stark quiver]

ayaya do you have 6 of those new sub torps

[rain bobcat]

I don't even have 1

[rapid shard]

I haven't tried 14H or even 13H yet lol now that ive cleared 15 ill probably get 13H cleared tonight on reset. I aint gonna try 16-3/4 any time soon, I dont have the VGs that can tank and dps enough from what it looks like

[keen owl]

I put them in Green slot right?

[stark quiver]

yea

[tropic tusk]

support fleet must use those 3?

[rain bobcat]

some very admirable courage trying to use smth that bad on w16

[stark quiver]

no, but getting the <30% threshold is good

[tropic tusk]

cause of the ur sub?

[stark quiver]

i mean if you have gigachad maxed gold sub fleet it might work
but 404 is good so its just easier to hit threshold

[tropic tusk]

ok

[rain bobcat]

pastas can get there apparently

[keen owl]

I have others Max levelled but i dunno who to use. I herd i can use wht i used on the previous World.

[rapid shard]

Waiting on flasher to replace 58, who else should I raise sub wise then? And should I bother with the tempesta ones?

[stark quiver]

why did you partial LB 404 💀

[rain bobcat]

either go full pasta or full ironblood

[rapid shard]

half asleep mistake not gonna lie

[ivory pawn]

Eh it's just one bulin if you got the dupe.

[rapid shard]

Who all is the pasta other than Vinci?

[ivory pawn]

It's Vinci and Maggiore Barroca.

[rain bobcat]

I dont think its worth going tempesta unless you can raise 3 to 125 with good gear

[keen owl]

Is U556 Meta Better than other Gold U boat?

[rain bobcat]

so just go traditional subs

[rapid shard]

Sounds like wolf pack is the way to go then. Is it 47 101 and 37?

[rain bobcat]

that's a very vague question and the answer would be yes because she's not the worst gold U sub

[hybrid forge]

Are Mecklen adn GL of any use in Chapter 16?

I just finished dev 30ing them

[keen owl]

So these 3 are good to go. Go Wolff pack is 101 Same level or better at wolf packing than one of those 3 at top?

[rain bobcat]

96 81 101

404 flasher leo

[keen owl]

Gonna Oath and max my 101 bye 96

I mean 37

[wind hazel]

but why

[keen owl]

She is not on 96 81 101

[rain bobcat]

[wind hazel]

i mean why are you using kms subs

[keen owl]

Might be a bit weaker?

[cobalt rapids]

u dont need all that jazz to clear 16-1 and 16-2

[wind hazel]

this is all you need

[hybrid forge]

Is ti true 16 is easier than 15

[wind hazel]

dont waste your time

[rain bobcat]

half is piss easy half is hell

[cobalt rapids]

normal clear 16 is easier than 15

[rapid shard]

So far 16-1 is easier by a decent bit.

[keen owl]

Just gonna fix my Main fleet then. Btw who is 16 4 drop?

[wind hazel]

japanese bache

[cobalt rapids]

fujinami

[hybrid forge]

Wait, as as opposed to what

[cobalt rapids]

as opposed to full clear

[hybrid forge]

ah. But you can always reduce difficulty before going for full by doing runs

[cobalt rapids]

indeed

[rain bobcat]

full clear lethal 16 is like jumping from the side of a cliff and impaling yourself

[onyx flame]

unless you got 81/96 hidden below, then yea 101, 37, 47

[rapid shard]

Thats all my subs minus a random elite

[rain bobcat]

normal clear is like walking at the side of said cliff

[keen owl]

Do I need CA on 16 or CL and DDs can Rock it?

[cobalt rapids]

hulls dont matter

this isnt hard mode

[keen owl]

Thanks

[hybrid forge]

so yeah any use for Mecklen or GL?

[keen owl]

Do i need to bring lots of ASW planes and Depth charge?

[rain bobcat]

you can use them in 16

[cobalt rapids]

gouda is pretty good in ch16
mecklen would be secondary for bb slots if u have the top contenders

[rain bobcat]

meck is strictly boss for 16-4

[rapid shard]

For -1 just one asw plane, Eldridge and sandy with a hedgehog fully covered it

[rain bobcat]

musashi sits there like a good girl so meck just deletes her

[cobalt rapids]

musashi kinda easy but i heard shes bugged

[wind hazel]

not firing her gun yeah

[rain bobcat]

yeah she doesn't fire at all

[keen owl]

Is it Sakura Bias?

[wind hazel]

btw what torp do you guys use on shimanto for mob? triple mag? quad mag? or duoduo

[rain bobcat]

wut

[cobalt rapids]

ijn taking more Ls 😔

[keen owl]

Gonna Remove mine then.

[rain bobcat]

I use duo duo

[wind hazel]

enemy musashi, not your musashi

[rain bobcat]

good hit rate good damage good reload

[keen owl]

Oh if you use Meck?

[wind hazel]

no, if you use anything. it's enemy musashi bug, doesnt matter what you use against her, she's bugged

[keen owl]

Gonna Abuse it while we can?

[wind hazel]

up to you

[rain bobcat]

doubt its gonna change the outcome unless she shoots an actual rainbow 460

[silver lintel]

Whats the top wolf pack now

[keen owl]

Where can i get 2nd Hedgehog. I think i miss it

[silver lintel]

81 96 101?

[wind hazel]

what would you change? 16-4 mob

[rapid shard]

Eldridge has a built in one.

[rain bobcat]

there's only 1 hedgehog

if you scrapped it gg bricked account

[cobalt rapids]

552 96 101

[keen owl]

Wow Eldridge way to. Do u use her for Mobs or boss?

[rain bobcat]

some people liked running feather over catapult for eva

[silver lintel]

552 the non meta one?

[wind hazel]

i have one +13 from pvp too, perfect

[cobalt rapids]

i would put manjuu on laffii for insurance

[rapid shard]

Im using her in a off tank postion on mob, not the most ideal fleet but its working. You can scroll up and see my fleets

[cobalt rapids]

also the asw will prob not be enough ooa

[wind hazel]

after hearing your reset stories i probably wont be chasing lethal clear

[stark quiver]

feather?

[wind hazel]

si

[stark quiver]

bruh psyop victim

[wind hazel]

from gloM days

kinda useless now on lexii

[hollow gust]

feather was always nice on campaign , i run it everywhere

[stark quiver]

avgas + beacon
you wanna be fast on lex duels

[hollow gust]

lex totally not fast enough

[wind hazel]

[cobalt rapids]

doesnt skyraider defeat the purpose of being fast

[hollow gust]

dont forget the willy mid asf , cough ough cheeky

[cobalt rapids]

nice name

[wind hazel]

maybe, i just copy sheet braindead

[whole crypt]

copying homework is how I play AL

[keen owl]

Is spearfish strong at pvp?

[whole crypt]

it's fast

without giving up as much damage as going to non-rainbow TBs

[stark quiver]

it also has rockets

[whole crypt]

the rockets are fairly cope but I guess it's better than nothing

[keen owl]

Is willy D good?

Imma start grooming willy then

Whats good gun for Vittorio C? Is she barrage gun?

[rapid tusk]

Should I compose T2 skill books?

Or only gear boxes?

[ivory pawn]

If you'll run out of total books, no.
If you can keep the training going even if only t3+ books, yes.

[rapid tusk]

Thanks

At what point should I get the 3rd slot for academy training? I have 5 slots for dorm and 2nd floor access but that’s all I’ve used gems for

[ivory pawn]

Don't need it, just buy more dock space.

[rapid tusk]

Okay

What about 6th slot for for form then?

[ivory pawn]

Only if you're a spender. It can be nice to have, but is too expensive for f2p gems.

[shadow yarrow]

In 16-4 is one airbase always going to stay standing no matter how gud i am?

[stark quiver]

until you clear at least 4 mobs yes

but i think theyre bugged rn so theyre useless

[shadow yarrow]

I mean i only have 2 airstrikes to demolish em with

[stark quiver]

no

Strike here

after clearing the 4 mobs and bringing your mob fleet close to it to uncover fog

[uneven barn]

Where do you get to copy the gears? I have seen generalized gear guides like suchiguma and slaimunda but never seen unit specific gear guide.

[whole crypt]

because there's no ship-specific gear setups, it's all content-specific gear setups

to some extent you can copy and paste from something before if you know the content is similar in nature

I said I copy the homework but it goes a long way if you also understand it

[uneven barn]

True. I am trying to understand the gear system. But I have a lot to learn though

[forest palm]

it becomes pretty straightforward tbh

[stark quiver]

i turn my brain off and just copy whatever someone spoonfeeds me

[whole crypt]

it's a lot easier when you understand ultimately why we pick what we pick and there's actually not a lot of pieces you need to remember

[uneven barn]

Its just y'know not the common gear system. In mainstream gacha gears give stat boosts like HP, ATK, CRIT etc but in AL that's not the focus

[molten mortar]

does chapter 15 and 16 use same fleets and gears? just got a reality check how undergeared my fleets are when i tried chapter 15....

[whole crypt]

yes but we end up going to the same few guns/planes, you just need to know which numbers are the ones that matter on a piece of weapon

ah yes RNG bullshit my latest run is the worst run so far in terms of HP left even though it's got the highest damage reduction

[cloud panther]

What's sample 16-34 teams? No current banner maxed yet

[whole crypt]

strong UR BB + Cowpens + rainbow DDs more or less

[cloud panther]

No cow

[whole crypt]

every comp I've seen so far uses Cowpens so good luck using alternative healers

[cloud panther]

101 cow probably die

[whole crypt]

then wait for her to be 125

[stark quiver]

ive had luck

[hoary relic]

what should i +13 first, raff gun or admiral fire control table?

[whole crypt]

I'm not saying it must be Cowpens, but she's significantly better than the alternatives

[knotty jolt]

They don't use the same gold plates even

[hoary relic]

but they use the same spec gear upgrade............

[whole crypt]

if you're using any BBs in your Yorktown META team raff gun is the best gun

just buy more rainbow gear parts from OS or wait till next month

[hoary relic]

i only have 5 spec gear upgrade so uhh

[knotty jolt]

Id choose table as it's more universally usable

[cloud panther]

I think the fight skip comp need Hella avi

[whole crypt]

well it's a bit nuanced
AFCT is generally more useful but we currently have a relevant medium boss

[hoary relic]

well im using 2 +13 champy and 1 +13 meck gun for yk meta........no idea should i +13 raff gun cuz its lack of use

[whole crypt]

raff gun is the best gun for medium

though if you swap out your current guns you might need to check the timings

[cloud panther]

So maybe just daily heal to bring safe

[hoary relic]

i dont need to 1 shot yk meta so table then?

[whole crypt]

up to you neither makes a significant difference at this point

[cloud panther]

Somehow China plane is suggested as supporter

Why her instead of like Naki

[whole crypt]

you mean Hwah Jah? she's like one of the top support options

[cloud panther]

Yes her

[whole crypt]

both Hwah Jah and Chen Hai are among top picks for 15/16 support fleet

[cloud panther]

I understand Friz and Sex cuz they new

And UR

[whole crypt]

have you seen the slot eff and RLD on the Chinese carrier retrofits

[cloud panther]

So that's why

I can see that being key stat

[hoary relic]

what is better to +13 TB or hvar cats

[whole crypt]

only Fritz has any significant advantage being capable of an 8-fighter loadout

[ruby knot]

Is there an alternative for Raf in mob fleet

[whole crypt]

the other UR carriers are the same 6-fighter as the two Chinese carriers while being slower even if their AVI makes for something, and the Chinese carriers have very significant slot effs

[cloud panther]

Meck?

[whole crypt]

Musashi, Lion, all have different pros and cons

[hoary relic]

🤔 do we need aquila for w16

[cloud panther]

Do not Musashi she get ganged up

[whole crypt]

Cowpens more important

[rain bobcat]

isnt chen hai considerably worse both in normal and AA supp to hwah jah

[whole crypt]

"pros and cons"

[rain bobcat]

mob

meck gets demolished in mob

[cloud panther]

I rather have Lion burn for boss

[whole crypt]

even Lion is at risk of being demlished in mob it's just her burn can be cheesed

[blissful hamlet]

what ship is best for CV support fleet

[rain bobcat]

next UR is BB to powercreep ch16 trust

[whole crypt]

well depends since 16-3 and 4 can run 3-CV boss fleets

[rain bobcat]

fritz sex nakh

[whole crypt]

Frtiz/Chen Hai/Hwah Jah

[cloud panther]

Yeet the sex?

[whole crypt]

save you the trouble of regearing the UR CVs or moving them out of actual comps

[cloud panther]

Send her to fight I guess with Indep

[whole crypt]

all the other UR carriers are not nearly as much better than the Chinese carriers

[blissful hamlet]

does ship level affect support fleet?

[cloud panther]

Farm coins, craft more 13 planes and retry

3CV is gonna run me out of gears

Does Fritz shoot the gun as support fleet?

[stark quiver]

no

[tame pivot]

Do tempesta ships give any faction fleet tech or whatever from Max limit breaking? Or are they like muse/lil ships?

[cloud panther]

Fleet tech of tempesta does show in the thing

[whole crypt]

they do but Tempesta tech is all for Tempesta

[cloud panther]

But stupid stuff like HP+1 too

Dolphin lolol

[whole crypt]

the actual stat they give doesn't matter, the fact they all only add to frigates does

[tame pivot]

Ahh, but they don't contribute towards the major 4 in that one section tho right?

[blissful hamlet]

how is chen hai best for support fleet when she only has 5 planes? for example indomitable can equip 6 fighter plane

[whole crypt]

fast, high slot eff

[cloud panther]

He kinda explained above

[whole crypt]

also you don't need to regear your UR carriers for every damn time you go to 15/16

if you're willing to just lock one of the UR carriers there then go ahead

regearing Fritz is already annoying enough

[lament plover]

What CV fleet do I use on Yorktown Meta?

[blissful hamlet]

I'm not comparing it to UR CV but to indomitable

reload affect support fleet?

[stark quiver]

yes

[whole crypt]

yes because they still use your plane timers which calc based on RLD

[blissful hamlet]

I see

[cloud panther]

Look at your supporter and use those who oneshots

[whole crypt]

I mean strictly speaking yes some of those carriers will be better than Chen Hai, but Chen Hai I'll basically never need to regear for anything else

plus cheaper to cog

[stark quiver]

do ygs overcap ap and dailies

[whole crypt]

(yes levels affect them too)

the real fun starts first safe 0 ammo fight

[cloud panther]

Oh shit

hestia can give more ammo eh?

[whole crypt]

all repair ships do

[cloud panther]

But then 16-4 is 4 fights

Could be the best coin slot

[whole crypt]

it doesn't matter the damage/utility you lose is basically always worse than just using another ship

[cloud panther]

3* attempts eh?

[whole crypt]

what do you mean attempt this is the 3-star run lol

[cloud panther]

Specially the Wipeout star

[whole crypt]

I was done with RNG before safe

[cloud panther]

Ooh nice

[whole crypt]

I gave up on lethal when the game decided to not let my Cowpens go with 60% HP after some 20 resets

well Cowpens "survived" one attempt - the one I reset because Aquila died instead

[ivory sigil]

I forgot who is the recommended vanguard royalnavy to build exp for neptune (exclude Javelin)
Does guam possible?

[whole crypt]

Guam is USS

you could try stuff like Shropshire or Leander, just as a matter of being cheap

[ivory sigil]

surely traf being greatest option but end up waiting till 1 year isnt wise

[whole crypt]

just level anything it doesn't really matter

[ivory sigil]

i do think of janus or

How much 2.000.000 exp mean in lvl anyway?

[tulip tinsel]

xp scales depending on rarity

[rain bobcat]

[whole crypt]

only if you're rainbow

2mil is lv1 to 112 on a single ship

[atomic abyss]

rainbows take like 20% more exp

[whole crypt]

109 if rainbow

[rain bobcat]

wouldn't matter since ur doing it with 3 ships not 1

also you are locked into finishing a ship shortest time of 7 days no matter what. exp is the least of ur worries if you play a lot

[whole crypt]

well if you're not at least grinding ch9 it's really whatever

on ch12 you can do 2mil in 1 day

[late flame]

-# unless you are only using one ship of the correct faction to level

[crimson folio]

Are +10 weapons and equipments powerful enough to use in W15-16?
How much are they different from +13 weapons and equipments?

[rain bobcat]

you can finish the grind in 1 day or 6 days it doesn't matter you won't get them until 7 days

[forest palm]

~~ 2 mil xp can be done in a day~~

[rain bobcat]

+13 is very helpful

[whole crypt]

+13 weapons do 18% more damage
15 and 16 are the current endgame, you can clear with less but the less you bring the more you're subject to RNG

[rain bobcat]

campaign isn't running just try and if you fail come back later

[ivory sigil]

2.000.000 exp but they appear twice, i need to complete them one by one right?

[stark quiver]

what am i supposed to be saving

[rain bobcat]

its 1 then 2 so 3 million total

[whole crypt]

first CDC is 1mil, second is 2mil
if rainbow ship it's 1.2m and 2.4m

[forest palm]

Yes you have to do CDC 1 before CDC 2

[cloud panther]

amazon with her exp buff ?

[trim depot]

is it better to use energy storage devices on siren data towers or smash it instead

[whole crypt]

smash

[late flame]

i randomly let coin flip decide

[whole crypt]

data logging towers only give you adapts for spending 5 vouchers, you don't need it

scanning facilities are a bit more nuanced

[atomic abyss]

hulk smash is the way to go

[ivory sigil]

Wow 6% for destroyer
12% if max lvl

Pick me 3 destroyer then

[whole crypt]

more like 2 + Amazon if you bother

[ivory sigil]

I think i can farm exp in Polaris/Unison right?

[whole crypt]

it's better than farming without oil cap but the XP is nowhere near what you'll get from 11+

[cloud panther]

those are more like safely level shit ships, and the collab skins

[strange sphinx]

[rain bobcat]

y

just run 12-1,12-4 for exp dont bother going archive

[scarlet cosmos]

What are good mob bb for w16?

[strong tartan]

how many times do i clear 15-4 to take it from lethal to safe my brain farted

[tropic tusk]

8

[strong tartan]

grat

[wind hazel]

uh, it's 10

[tropic tusk]

oh i remember wrong

[wind hazel]

so far raff, lion, maybe musashi

[jaunty vault]

glowowing after spreading misinformation be like

[wind hazel]

ive seen some people use zwei too but no vouch for her

[cloud panther]

do I really need to gamba and make 6 G3R1?

kinda want to repurpose them pancakes

[wind hazel]

wdym gamba

[polar lion]

What does this means?

[cloud panther]

getting shot by teammate

[polar lion]

Owh that

[heavy crag]

how much free dock space would be convinient for event daily sweep from you guys experience

[wind hazel]

50 to beyond

[cloud panther]

at least a 3 run (or 2x book) uninterrupted

[heavy crag]

good enough for me then

[scarlet cosmos]

Oh man, I only have musashi, I’ll give her a try

[plain saffron]

how do you even hit teamates

[lean valley]

Porter has a skill that does it

[whole crypt]

I don't know does the torp actually hit and do damage

[copper turtle]

aye do i max limit break my lexington II?

[lean valley]

In reference to her irl counterpart shooting a torpedo at another USS ship (iowa I think?) that had FDR on it

[plain saffron]

glad to know they keep the emoticon instead of localizing it

[cloud panther]

how to translate lmao

[plain saffron]

removing it like some other skill

[wind hazel]

japanese and chinese: ヽ(｀Д´)ﾉ
english: (͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡ °)

[plain saffron]

does it shows Σ(°ロ°)!! on flag when there's no other USS ships?

[wind hazel]

uss show both hmm

[plain saffron]

huh apparently apply even when no USS

[wind hazel]

non uss only the bottom one

the beginning one anyway, too lazy to wait for the next buff

[plain saffron]

ok nvm i missread bcs she's at the back

hmm so when launching torp
flagship always shows Σ(°ロ°)!! and USS all shows (#`Д´)ﾉ, except herself which shows Σヽ(ﾟД ﾟ; )ﾉ

can't belive this silly skill made me actually plays the game after a while

[strange sphinx]

atleast it is not the one with "Temper temper" ship

[whole crypt]

lmao there's an additional one if it's USS flag?

yes Σヽ(ﾟД ﾟ; )ﾉ is WDP herself

[tulip tinsel]

is there any chance next CNY event has a missile

[onyx flame]

huh sardegna event end of jan

[whole crypt]

mm pasta

[onyx flame]

wonder if it prelude to feb ur

[wind hazel]

you wish

[plain saffron]

Cn news?

[cloud panther]

and I though the emoji changes depend if it's hitting them

[rain bobcat]

wtf

[tidal meteor]

These fleets of mine are getting clapped at 15-3, what should I change in terms of ships and gear?

[rain bobcat]

not use plymouth for one

[tidal meteor]

Replace her with Eldridge Kai?

[rain bobcat]

yes

kearsarge is also very mediocre in 15

[tidal meteor]

Should I replace Kear with IndepKai?

[rain bobcat]

BB would be preferred

[strange sphinx]

man, should I save my bullins for Laff 2 or invest it to Raff

[tropic tusk]

so far i only see raff on w16 and beside that i dont see her anywhere else.
but laff2 i see in alot of place

[sick portal]

Hello can someone please help there's no daily or weekly missions showed up

[tidal meteor]

Restart your game

Unless you've already completed and collected everything and forgot about it

[sick portal]

No it's a level 10 acc and I already restarted the game

Nothing happened

[strange sphinx]

[ivory sigil]

I forgot to ask
We should place our farming cat in mobfleet instead of bossfleet to maximize exp right?

[tropic tusk]

ur lvl 10 has nothing to do with did u pick it up and forgot

[south ridge]

Which gear should I priorize to get on core shop?

[tropic tusk]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[onyx flame]

white shells and afct first idk which one is higher prio but white you can only get 1 a month

[tulip tinsel]

probably, mob does most fights so more xp for cats

[summer patio]

What is the easiest war archieve?

[onyx flame]

real question is what are you doing in war archive

[tulip tinsel]

all of them are basically the same easy shit

[summer patio]

I've never done one before but I've heard they're good for progression

[onyx flame]

if your farming commander exp, passionate polaris/universe unison

[onyx flame]

only if you do not have enough commander exp to reach w9 and there no active event to grind

[tulip tinsel]

only if you're commander level capped from cost limit stages

[tropic tusk]

th newest one is nice

[onyx flame]

only other reason to go into war archive other than commander exp farming is to pick up faction tech ships for ironblood

[ivory sigil]

I assume it is a freshly new acc cuz that does happen to me on my 1st week iirc

[summer patio]

Is it beatable with lvl 90 Cowpens, 82 pennsylvania or 67 alabama, 58 levelled Unicorn and Lex II and Belfast (76), Helena(85) and Portland(69)?

Most fully limit broken

[onyx flame]

prob sp5 is like lvl 80? enemies

just dont try to 3 star the stage

[strange sphinx]

laffy 2 or Guam? for Bulins

[whole crypt]

L2

[lean valley]

How grindy is island planner if I'm just trying to get a couple affinity items? Mostly looking to push subs from 90 to 100 and hoping the items are easy enough to get

[late flame]

i wouldnt bother tbh

[tropic tusk]

there should be a new year event soon where u can spam farm easy for subs

[onyx flame]

its not bad but its not fast either

[tropic tusk]

there are those x15 runs

[lean valley]

Oh really, is that like raids where it's easy to get affinity but still burns your oil?

[whole crypt]

CNY is usually a raid event

but that's not the coming rerun or the next new event at end of month

[tropic tusk]

its like end of feb

[whole crypt]

more like mid-Feb

[crimson folio]

Which are better for boss team for W15-16?
3CV or 1BB+2CV

[lean valley]

LNY is 17th this year, so I guess around then

[wind hazel]

if you want to try, just do until you can unlock the daily supplies. daily supply+1 other daily activity(pet cat, interact with character) give 4k coin per day, takes 2mins to finish. can do it as part of daily things to do

[sick portal]

Idk I'm already on chapter 2 and there's still no daily or weekly missions showed up

[whole crypt]

keep in mind raid should start before CNY and we still need to be expecting a new UR for late Feb

[sick portal]

Hmm idk man😞

[whole crypt]

considering CN already announced faction for next new event there's a fair chance we'll go straight into it after the rerun

[wind hazel]

you're kinda forced to take 3 cv, otherwise you wont get air supremacy

not a bad thing 3cv

[whole crypt]

so 15-21 Jan Guam rerun
22 Jan - 4 Feb new pasta event
maybe 2 weeks of raid somewhere between 5-25 Feb
26 Feb new UR

[ivory sigil]

🍝 ?pasta

oh tempesta

[wind hazel]

italian pasta

[whole crypt]

no pasta as in Italian

[cobalt robin]

new Italian ships?

[rapid shard]

New pasta SR event im guessing?

[crimson folio]

I already have Yorky II, Lex II and Ess*x for boss team. Are they OK?

[whole crypt]

shrug

[wind hazel]

ye most likely

[whole crypt]

what I said up there is just an educated guess, we have no idea of the exact contents of the events anyway

[rapid shard]

Ah gotcha, wasnt sure in CN side had a announcement or something.

[whole crypt]

they just said next event pasta

[rapid shard]

What exactly is the raid you mentioned?

[wind hazel]

the annual lunar new year event

shitty raid event with light pool, that's what we had for few years, so it's a pattern

[tropic tusk]

hey its a free sub leveling up event

[wind hazel]

who knows, maybe this year it's gonna be chinese UR for once, since they ran out of anshan ddg

[crimson folio]

Seems remaining issue for me about playing W15-16 is many weapons & equips are only +10 not +13.

[tulip tinsel]

UR DDG would be funny

[tropic tusk]

thers no rush tbh , they prerma

[sick portal]

Broo I've restarted my pc but there still no missions showed up 😔

[tropic tusk]

bro u completed ur weekly mission just let it go man

[sick portal]

What no way this is still a fresh account

[elfin hollow]

Can anyone reccomend me a good fleet in lexi2 and without york 2 (i dont have her yet)

[tulip tinsel]

Anyone's opsi slow too or i just need to restart ?

[cobalt robin]

Weekly missions aren't very difficult or time consuming to complete even for a new account really

[whole crypt]

did you just playing from the tutorial in the past few days

[sick portal]

No no Ive just started playing this game today I don't even do anything yet other than play the campaign still on chapter 2

[summer patio]

Guys should I buy tech boxes from the Core (mo.) shop? If yes, what rarity? If no, what should I buy istead?

[tulip tinsel]

no

[sick portal]

Just started playing today

[tropic tusk]

could u open ur dock

[whole crypt]

if nothing shows up after restarts and going through the tutorial try #tech-support it's not something we can help you with here

[tulip tinsel]

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

[sick portal]

I mean if it's weekly it's gonna reset again right?

[whole crypt]

resets are on day change to Monday server time

[tropic tusk]

every monday 4pm jp time

[whole crypt]

bottom line if you keep playing you should at least see daily mission tomorrow

[sick portal]

Alright

[summer patio]

Thank you!! That's really helpful : DDD

[cobalt robin]

Try upgrading a gear once

[tropic tusk]

yea u collected ur weekly mission

[sick portal]

Already did that nothing happened it's fine if it's gonna reset again then I'm okay

[tropic tusk]

4 purple and 2 gold isnt that weekly mission

[cobalt robin]

maybe not cause ive also had it not show up anything at the start of the week doing a weekly missions fixed it so idk

[tropic tusk]

well https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/488684387932700672 u go

[onyx flame]

easiest way to check is see if they got meta crystal frags

[whole crypt]

no the easiest way is check is the fact that Dewey META is there

[light trail]

jinx - w16 fleet help

[sick portal]

Maybe because I bought this account today and I'm wondering why there's no missions showed when I asked the seller they didn't respond so I joined this server to ask you guys

[whole crypt]

account trading is against TOS

[strange sphinx]

[wind hazel]

lol

[sick portal]

Thanks

[tropic tusk]

[whole crypt]

you also bought a trash account

[cobalt robin]

[strange sphinx]

Holy sht it escalated quickly

[sick portal]

Man whattt

[onyx flame]

[strange sphinx]

tech to ToS

[wind hazel]

ngl but get your money back

[tropic tusk]

spending money a shit account good job

[cobalt robin]

[whole crypt]

I think this part is the important part

[sick portal]

Don't blame me I've lost my old account😔

[tropic tusk]

not even 1 UR

[whole crypt]

just start a fresh one completely if you can't recover your old one

why even bother buying an account when you don't even know if it's a good one, it being against TOS aside

[cobalt robin]

Creating a new acc wouldn't be worse than that acc

[tropic tusk]

creating new account would be better then buying tbh

[sick portal]

I got the acc for like 2 dollars haha it's fine

[strange sphinx]

I mean if you have money, just buy the stuff in shop Akashi will not scam you

[cobalt robin]

If you have any email confirmations or receipts from spending money and whatnot it's very easy to recover your acc

[whole crypt]

just start a completely new one man, I don't see what this account can do for you especially when you have no idea what might already be missing from this account

[cobalt robin]

akashi and not scamming in the same sentence

[trim depot]

whats the benefit of the second floor for dorms

[sick portal]

I mean sure I've just created a new account

[cobalt robin]

faster morale regen but not passive exp

[whole crypt]

more morale regen slots, regen faster than first floor

[trim depot]

oh damn

is it significantly faster or just a lil bit

cuz it costs a lot

[whole crypt]

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

[cobalt robin]

It's faster enough to where it's recommended to get

And 2nd floor has the same amount of slots 1st floor

[sick portal]

I bind that old account with twitter... And that twitter acc got suspended for no reason. It's been 3 years

[whole crypt]

it mirrors your slot number on the first floor, even if it's not significantly faster it's still more slots to use

[oblique canyon]

What exactly does the sub support fleet do? Can i404 Xbarrage from there?

[trim depot]

it says no new training slots unlock with the second floor

[cobalt robin]

You can still recover with any receipts you might have, my acc was bound with Facebook which got locked years ago but I recovered using Google play receipts

[trim depot]

oh u mean like it doesnt give 3 new slots only 2

[cobalt robin]

Meant to reply to this

[whole crypt]

well the wording was it's supposed to add sub support to your fights but at the bottom line it engages in an entry battle which will determine strength of concealment and number of mobs you need to fight before boss

[summer patio]

Why does it show SR ships in war archieves and "fleet sunk in D3 0/60"? Do I have to like do that and then get the SR ship?

[tulip tinsel]

60 clears of D3, you get the SR ship

[whole crypt]

fighting D3 60 times in archive gives you a "pity" copy of the drop SR ship

[sick portal]

I don't think I ever spend my money on that account 😅

[summer patio]

Oh

[oblique canyon]

I see, do their stats matter that much? I only have 1 fleet set of Bidders

[whole crypt]

when you open the tab to assign ships to dorm you can see another tab on top to swap to for ships in 2/F
the number of ships you can place in 2/F is the same as however many you have open on 1/F

[sick portal]

A shame tho I've played on that account since 2019

[summer patio]

That sounds awfully tedious to complete

[cobalt robin]

it's still worth a try, if you know anything abt that old account. Which server, uid, commander level, starter ship, bound Twitter email etc etc are all helpful

[tropic tusk]

do u have email or sth from tht old account?

[whole crypt]

if you can't do anything significant to that fight in entry, enemies have stronger concealment and yours is weaker
you also need to fight like at least 1 more mob fight which will be on 0 ammo or your boss fleet

[trim depot]

ic its op then

[sick portal]

My email if that's what you're asking I tried to appeal on twitter to unsuspend my account and still no response from them

[whole crypt]

the recommendation for F2P is to open 2 more slots on first floor for 3 slots total, then open 2/F for 6 and you can fit one whole fleet

[oblique canyon]

Gotcha Ill have to get a second set of submarine gear then. Thank you

[tropic tusk]

i think twitter login was gone like last year

[sick portal]

Starter ship laffey,server little enterprise,uid can't remember

[trim depot]

u said 2nd floor doesnt give exp right

[tropic tusk]

go https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/488684387932700672 and ask them about ti , they wil help u

[sick portal]

Ayy thanks

[whole crypt]

it doesn't give passive XP but the whole point is to keep morale up so you can keep using the fleet for grinding
if you keep above 120 morale there's also an XP bonus

[cobalt robin]

Like I said if you have any of the information above abt your acc it's worth contacting yostar support

[sick portal]

Alright I'll try asking them thanks

[trim depot]

k alr thx

[tropic tusk]

have u paid before in this game?

[sick portal]

Hmm I don't remember probably not because red gems on that old account I got it for free

[tropic tusk]

ok

[serene moth]

this months siren boss, what gear or ships do i want to use?

[onyx flame]

she's light so gear for light bosses

[serene moth]

do we have a help sheet for best against light?

nevermind i found stuff on equipment website

I can max out the fleet im going to use first right, and then switch the gear on the next fight right

[tulip tinsel]

in opsi yes

[serene moth]

yea im planning on doing opsi boss

is the 155 triple good as second gun on main fleets against light? or is something else better?

[onyx flame]

secondaries on bb are only meant to deal with sucide boas except for some bbs

[serene moth]

okay, can i equip a good HE gun on mushashi or do i need to use a specific one?

[onyx flame]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/#main-fleet-weapons

[zenith heron]

Only Guns from the IJN Faction benefits Musashi, if not you won't get the 50% Bonus dmg from it

[serene moth]

so something like this right, also should i use both shells or only 1? if so black or white?

[tawdry halo]

Would +10 F4U does any better than +10 Helldiver for Long Island?

[rapid grail]

dmg-wise, no. Keep this plane though because it's good for another reason

[ivory sigil]

Long Island !???

[rapid tusk]

What is E.X. and S.P.?

[tawdry halo]

yea

[tawdry halo]

for what reason exactly

OpSi? Or it's good on a specific CV?

[onyx flame]

timing, for syncing your backlines together

[tawdry halo]

oh syncing all over again...

[onyx flame]

just different category of events

[tawdry halo]

I'm not up for that just yet, still need to grind more rainbow lab planes

[rapid tusk]

Is it best to play the War Archives in order?

[tulip tinsel]

it's best to ignore it entirely unless needed

[onyx flame]

shouldnt be touching war archive at all unless
you need commander levels to reach w9 and there no other active events, do passionate polaris/universe unison
or you need faction tech like iron blood, divergent chessboard

[rapid tusk]

Atm I'm just doing Passionate Polaris and autoing SP5

My commander level is 55

[zenith heron]

This is already good for general use, since nowadays Musashi is preferred in a Mob Fleet due to her Clearing

[ivory sigil]

yay i beat 13-1
and then my bossfleet lost 13-2

after witnessing some team recommendation in historychat... i think i might gonna stay out until i get laffey2 and guam then...

is that serious that we need a 3 4 rainbow gear #1452201533188997190 message like this for 13-2 and later ??

[rapid shard]

No you dont, for W13 its just a AA check. You dont need any rainbow gear to clear it. Pay attention in boss fight to see what your actually dieing to. If its crash dmg then you need more AA or better AA gun setup

Wyvern definitely is really nice to have but berguet from coredata shop can work just fine

[rain bobcat]

unless you have egregious raised characters you dont need URs on vanguard at all

[serene moth]

do people use bb comps to fight hard boss on opsi? this jelllyfish is tanking all my airstrikes

[rain bobcat]

[zenith heron]

You mean the boss in the Middle? The Arbiter? Keep in mind of its Armor type

[rain bobcat]

the jellyfish should at best tank only one airstrike

[serene moth]

yea someone said it was light

[little heart]

Hi guys, i have a question, why do I not get any exp

[rain bobcat]

the arbiter is light, the jelly is medium to be exact

[zenith heron]

Its doable for BB Comps, no embarrassment to 2 shot it, bcs until now I do

[rain bobcat]

where is that battle

[little heart]

Its in operation siren

[serene moth]

im using tenrais/saiun and hvars

[rain bobcat]

[tawdry halo]

Would Retro Sandy pull it through

[tulip tinsel]

there are opsi mobs that don't give xp

[tawdry halo]

With sextuple AA

[rain bobcat]

it definitely shouldn't live after 1 strike with +13s

with +10s maybe you need to use a few bf109g

[onyx flame]

if its the blue mobs they dont give anything

[rapid shard]

Sandy can cover 1 fleet with a roomba long as rest of fleet has decent guns

[serene moth]

yea im using those too, they are all 10

[rain bobcat]

what ships are you using?

[zenith heron]

What's your CV Boss Fleet Comp?

[tawdry halo]

Uhh my whole line up is just +10 golden Quad, golden Roomba, with Sandy using lab +13 sextuple

[serene moth]

york, enterprise aquila

[tropic tusk]

i just found out that even tho this screen seems stuck... its acutally moving

[zenith heron]

This is by Arbiter fight right? bcs I actually need to 2 shot it if Harbiter

[rapid shard]

georgia unicorn yumia
cheshire lenja harbin

nj enterprise taihou
anchorage helena sandiego

These are the two fleets I used to clear thanks Mori lol just a mix of good purple and gold guns tbh

[rain bobcat]

harbiter has been oneshottable since the beginning of time

[rapid shard]

Yeah that definitely will cover one fleet long as CVs have intercept planes

[rain bobcat]

ld player?

[rain bobcat]

no lexi 2? also york or york2?

[zenith heron]

Then I guess its gearing issue at my part, or questionable ship choices

[rain bobcat]

I mean

[serene moth]

not mlb but yea york 2

[rain bobcat]

IJN heavy CV can one shot light harbiter without even switching gears and using all torp bombers

[tropic tusk]

yes

[rain bobcat]

UR BBs can one shot it using AP guns of all things

it's really not that bad

[tropic tusk]

seems like the best one so far , unless there are better option

[rain bobcat]

its known for that issue

mumu so far has no issues for most ppl

[onyx flame]

in mumu i trust, thou sometimes it just crash mid auto for whatever but that was a while back

[tropic tusk]

imma give it a try

[rain bobcat]

bluestacks is just ad bloat and ld is a freezing demon

[tawdry halo]

Speaking of Harbiter of OpSi, would 4 full lv125 fleets with mostly max upgraded purple gears (best of dirt cheap options) beat the hard version

[rain bobcat]

with non mlb ur missing a large amnt of stats

[serene moth]

york 2 is mlb, i meant lex 2

[rain bobcat]

most likely

crossfleet alone can take out 10-20 bars

[boreal merlin]

Need help with Trafalgar

I honestly don't know what her role is in the fleet

[rapid shard]

She kinda does everything tbh. Dmg, buffs you and debuffs enemy. Pairs great with lion

[tawdry halo]

This line up is probably already enough to clear most of OpSi effectively right?

[onyx flame]

shiranui and foxhound? wth

[boreal merlin]

2 well built fleet is alr enough even for the hard arbiter

holy shit long island lvl 119

based

[tawdry halo]

Dedication is real

[tawdry halo]

She best gamer waifu

[tawdry halo]

I'm getting her to lv125

Actual lethal ghost

[shadow yarrow]

Does wyvern intercept work in support fleet

[median prism]

Just got Chapayev is she any good?

[wraith abyss]

For Musashi, should I give her Augment a sword or crossbow? Running purple sakura gun

[tawdry halo]

she's only fine if you can mlb her

[median prism]

I could. Is she worth it?

[rain bobcat]

maybe, maybe not

[tawdry halo]

If you dont have good ships currently, she would help you for the short run

she will eventually fall off for later contents

may I see your port

[wraith abyss]

Excuse me, for Musashi, should I give her Augment a sword or crossbow? Running purple sakura gun. Thank you.

[tawdry halo]

Sword

[wraith abyss]

@tawdry halo thanks again

[tawdry halo]

... with those girls I think you better off spend your resources on enhancing them than upgrading Chapayev

[median prism]

Oh. Thanks

[wraith abyss]

Your roster suggests your resources for MLB is not as wealthy as a veteran, except the "age" of your ships seems to have played a quite the while. Either you really play dont often, or you take massive hiatus inbhetween. Your resources need to be better spent before you can go the route "Girls before efficiency"

[zenith heron]

The only time you use Musashi with a +10 Crossbow if she is on a Boss Fleet fighting a Heavy Armored Boss, but yet again, its rare these days to see someone use Musashi in Boss Fights

[tawdry halo]

tbh only when a player have 2 well-invested, strong max level fleets already that they can finally start to think about upgrading other girls

[median prism]

I only started last...september i think.

[tulip tinsel]

i use musashi in boss too

[tawdry halo]

you're doing pretty good to be fair

[zenith heron]

One Fleet is enough probably until W9 then at that point you can invest on a 2nd fleet by that point

[wraith abyss]

You have a lot of UR ships for starting so soon

[late flame]

i use musashi in w14 now because i am lazy to swap out lion's gear

[median prism]

Jersey,unzen and shinano arent MLBed yet

[zenith heron]

||W14 Hard ||

[tawdry halo]

I only started to invest on 2nd fleet after I fumbled hard on 10-3

[wraith abyss]

Was there free tickets handed out recently to directly redeem UR ships or something? I wasn't paying attention

[median prism]

Nope

[tawdry halo]

no, there was the unzen rerun

[wraith abyss]

Isn't UR pity 400? he still has a lotta pulls.

[zenith heron]

Its not that late, till W13 imo...

Its somewhat doable to do W12 but it may be different for other people

[tawdry halo]

not sure about jersey and shinano

[median prism]

I also got lexington II and william d porter too

[zenith heron]

And the only pity that Azur Lane has to offer, lower Rarities other than URs don't have pity

[median prism]

Jersey i got twicr from normal pull, shinano was pity.

Hakuhou, unzen(twice), Lex II i didnt use pity

[wraith abyss]

Well, I'm assuming my shitty UR pull rate though. Which is about average 350 pulls per UR (excluding pity) 😐

[onyx flame]

pity is 200 pulls thou

[tulip tinsel]

are you pulling on perma pool or what

[wraith abyss]

400 cubes, if you run double cube pulls, it's 200 pulls, yes

[zenith heron]

probably meant 400 cubes

[tawdry halo]

I have been pausing for pretty long after easily pull through 12-4 with my 2 well invested fleets, currently just abandoning W13, might go back on that though for the gems...

I'm currently spending my resources on investing on 2 more fleets just for the "I love my waifus", while saving up to start investing in an end-game sub fleet once I get Flasher

[gilded carbon]

Im wrapping up Ch. 13. How much of a Jump is Ch. 14 instead?

[ebon storm]

Is pr6 worth focusing for to max kearsarge?

[tulip tinsel]

no

[ebon storm]

Should i just leave kearsarge for now?

[zenith heron]

Chapter 14 has little planes but now has to worry about Subs and Suicide Boats, so strengthen your Backline Defense and Anti Submarine equip

Also Concealment and Enemy Healers that heal better than fucking Akashi

[wind hazel]

more difficult, require different strat

[ebon storm]

She needs 150 more i think

[median prism]

Also is mecklenberg good?

[ebon storm]

Im trying to make a uss carrier fleet but only have essex, yk2 and lexington 2

[tawdry halo]

the chapter where the hedgehog comes into usage

[ebon storm]

Pls help

[median prism]

..sounds like a carrier fleet right there

[ebon storm]

Dont i need kear buff?

[late flame]

kear is also not a carrier

[tawdry halo]

wait, what for, unless you are using mutual carrier buff or to make a synced cv fleet

[ebon storm]

Was gonna replace one of the three with kear

[gilded carbon]

Noted. Ch.14 has a Guide, i assume? Does it need Support-Carriers?

[tulip tinsel]

kear is BBV not CV

[tawdry halo]

Kear is a battlecarrier

[zenith heron]

Ch 15 and Above only for Support Fleets

[rapid shard]

No support fleet and yes Suchi has guide on his site for 14

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief

[ebon storm]

Ah so it seems i should just abandon kear for now

[gilded carbon]

I will Check the Guide and refer back to it incase i have a Problem with something the

[late flame]

not looking forward to shuffling gear for support fleet

[tawdry halo]

I'm not sure since I havent touch my hands on Kear yet, like I havent even build any PR5 ships so you may want to ask another person

[ebon storm]

I see

[rapid shard]

just use Indom Hwah and Illust and never regear them again

[tawdry halo]

but from a friend's acc, Kear does go well with Yorktown 2 and another boss CV

[zenith heron]

||you're shuffling gear on support fleets ||

[late flame]

i has no indom :p

[ebon storm]

Thank ye. Guess ill just do pr7 or pr8 from now

[late flame]

but yes i have all others

[tawdry halo]

also... you mean research focus

since... Kear is only... for catchup if I remember

[tulip tinsel]

research focus should be on 8

[tawdry halo]

pr8 is the best research focus

[ebon storm]

Ye research focus

[ebon storm]

Is that because of mecklenburg or lion gun?

[late flame]

meck gun yes

[tawdry halo]

research focus has nothing to do with Kear herself

[onyx flame]

Meck and her gun, gouden is also nice

[rapid shard]

Meck gun* and yes meck and GL very good

[tulip tinsel]

lion gun is in lion event shop

[hoary relic]

what should i +13? TB or hvar cats

[tawdry halo]

meck gun, lion gun was in lion event

[ebon storm]

Sorry meck gun

[onyx flame]

I mean it does if his research focus is on 6

[ebon storm]

Forgice me my lords

[tawdry halo]

eh

I need to know if Kear is still relevant

for the current meta lineup (?)

[onyx flame]

She might be part of the best anti light comp but there no relevant boss to check against rn

[wind hazel]

she will if light boss comes back

[hoary relic]

isnt kear and UA CVs are for light armour only?

[ebon storm]

Im thinking if getting some la9 would worth chasing pr7. are they that much of an upgrade over hvars or bf109s?

[tawdry halo]

so I guess I'm not gonna invest onto Kear for a while

[late flame]

kear remains niche outside of operation siren so she can wait honestly

[onyx flame]

Different uses

[hoary relic]

back to my question.................

[tawdry halo]

is A. Nakhimov relevant

[zenith heron]

Pr6 and Pr7 has become too specific which is why PR8 looks promising

[zenith heron]

Needs Maxed CV RLD for most comps but yes she is

[ebon storm]

Dont know if there are any other good st heavy fighters

[tawdry halo]

great, cat is relevant

[onyx flame]

La9 are for med/heavy, but hvars and 109 are for lights

[hoary relic]

but temperance hard isnt that hard tbh

[ebon storm]

Which fighters are good for heavy?

[tawdry halo]

also would Anchorage still hold up her spot as a relevant tanker or is she getting into the corner with Agir soon

[zenith heron]

Fighters like planes? there is a Gear Lab Fighter in IB section but why use Fighters against Heavy anyway

[hoary relic]

not even hard like strength

[onyx flame]

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

[gilded carbon]

Ok. I do Not have most Ships there. I will go into the more detailed Guide once Home and Open a thread here after

[ebon storm]

Forgive me im silly

[hoary relic]

she is still good for late game tho but not so much spotlight for her

[rapid shard]

Yeah just post dock in a thread and there's several people here who can help you sort out a fleet

[zenith heron]

^Read this @ebon storm

Also Torp Bombers are the prio against Heavy Armored

[ebon storm]

Thank

[hoary relic]

TB and dive bombers r for heavy

[tawdry halo]

I heard that Agir is going to dust the corner with Roon, so I kinda feared my totally mentally stable daughter would get the same treatment 🥀

[rapid shard]

Anchorage is decent but falls off late game due to her doing basically nothing dmg wise for fleetm

[ebon storm]

Speaking of agir will she ever get fs5?

[hoary relic]

in the future? yes probably, i dont see she can do much rn

[zenith heron]

🔮

[ebon storm]

I hope sp

[tawdry halo]

pain

[ebon storm]

I just want hakuryu to get an augment too so she becomes good again

[hoary relic]

we barely use CBs for campaign tho, probably OpSi but meh Opsi is ez ngl.

[zenith heron]

too Transitional to be relevant but is still useful if you don't have Hakuhou and Amagi CV, or just straight up use BBs

[tawdry halo]

4 lv125 fleets would probably just steamroll hard arbiter right?

like with dirt cheap max upgraded gears

[ebon storm]

Ye i just have her as a filler until amagicv comesback hopefully

[late flame]

4*good lv125 ships yes, not trash waifu ships

[hoary relic]

2 fleets are already enough........... but 4 for strength harb i guess

[ebon storm]

my battleships are weak though

Missed all the good ur battleships like lion

[tawdry halo]

I'm talking hard arbiter, so strength harb

[zenith heron]

Experienced ones have already one shotted them 1 fleet with all 125 lv ships long ago

I can do it if it weren't for my lack of care in my fleet comps, but I am stuck with 2 shotting it, you are not alone

[hoary relic]

temperance and hermit are ez, only strength makes me struggle abit

her leap almost killed my vang (like every time)

[late flame]

harbiter* one shot is usually when your gear and fleetech (mainly) and to a lesser extent, cats / crossfleet have begun to reach certain levels

[tawdry halo]

the true end game people where they start to randomly upgrade girls up

[hoary relic]

i only have like 50 lv120 shipgirls for tech lol, gotta grind more

[zenith heron]

for fleet tech and stats, whether it be small or miniscule

[late flame]

if you randomly upgrade good ships life will be easier

[hoary relic]

only have been played for 8 months

[zenith heron]

problem is if there was a ship that gives good tech like RLD specifically

[hoary relic]

just check fleet tech tracker tho

[late flame]

for trash/tech just leave them at lv 120

[tawdry halo]

I'm probably in the transition of mid-end game player already considering how Opsi is just slicing cake for me

[hoary relic]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/tracker

[tawdry halo]

there's still the second Arbiter that I need to clear, as well as W13, W14 and W15

[zenith heron]

forgor about this

[tawdry halo]

although I can probably just go all the way to W15 once I have a well invested sub fleet of I-404, Archerfish and Flasher

[hoary relic]

i dont even care abt doing campagin rn lol

just chilling and farming in w12, dont even bother doing w14

[late flame]

me too until i saw the w16 dropship

[hoary relic]

[tawdry halo]

because by the time I finally finished building the ultimate submarine fleet, in theory most of my ships would have gear lab stuffs already as well

[tawdry halo]

I have 80k unused oil in the bank

[hoary relic]

should i +13 my 2 hvar cat or use those plate for TBs

[late flame]

neither unless you know why you* wanna +13 them

[hoary relic]

i have 100k unused oil

[tawdry halo]

you're lucky to get 2 of them, I only managed to get 1

[hoary relic]

just enough for 2 at 92k pts lol

[tawdry halo]

vro has all the lucks

[late flame]

if you are not going to do any hard content just save the plates

[tawdry halo]

I got to 93k point and I didnt even have enough

[hoary relic]

i guess ima keep upgrade my BB fleet's gears then

[tawdry halo]

game did not like me

[hoary relic]

cuz i have no interests doing campaign rn

[tawdry halo]

I also have 2 unused rainbow admiralty tables rn

dont have the general plates

like Istg it's always the purple general platings that I run into shortage of out of everything else

[hoary relic]

gold plates is the only issue for me rn

goddamn a gay gear is 3x expensive as a gold 1

[whole crypt]

what's the cheapest we have now for 16-4 farm

[hoary relic]

[late flame]

#al-general is that way for oil flexing and such

[formal bronze]

does the support fleet carriers need to be built or can just have no equipment

[wind hazel]

need gear of course

need the correct gear too, not just random ones

[late flame]

lv1 non mlb support fleet

[formal bronze]

LOL

[zenith heron]

I do remember that syncing is also somewhat important in Support fleet?

[onyx flame]

[formal bronze]

so just get as high as possible avi

[whole crypt]

no, use good interception fighters

now of course they'll also want catapults

[formal bronze]

oh man this is crazy stuff

[late flame]

-# ngl its partly why i procrastinated w15 for ages lol

[formal bronze]

yeah i can see why wtf is this

[whole crypt]

it's not that complicated

[formal bronze]

noooo i have to use my brain 😔

[late flame]

and not get plane hell ptsd

[formal bronze]

look broski bored old fart i believe you can complete chapter 15 by this week

[ebon storm]

Is lexington 2 good?

[whole crypt]

yes

[trim depot]

is akashi's shop in opsi just an rng thing

[wind hazel]

yes

[trim depot]

how rare is it ive seen it once only so far

[wind hazel]

around 5% appearance

[whole crypt]

so do we have a (relatively) cheaper fleet for 16-4 farm

[zenith heron]

||Him and me could have done it before, but we still lazy af||

[formal bronze]

completing the same stage 7 times is crazy work

[ivory sigil]

i will note this to prepare everyone with golden AAgun and use all Flap instead of Seafang before trying 13-2

[wind hazel]

you can finish w13 with seafangs hellcats

[gilded carbon]

Ch. 14 prep and prog

[whole crypt]

ch13 was solved at lv120 cap with no lab gear and research was only up to PR2

[formal bronze]

the plane spam is insane considering the AOE aa if its any good?

ok thanks wont get

[ivory sigil]

10 times to make lethal to safe?
Does it start counter when we reach 100% or only S result count?

[onyx flame]

it only starts once you 100% the stage

[wind hazel]

after map is clear 100%, whenever you kill the boss, doesnt matter what rank, it will drop a level, starting from -20% all the way to 0% threat lv

[ivory sigil]

guess i will try again after getting wyvern
Cuz i was letting auto, everything of mobfleet was runs smooth but suddenly i saw defeat on bossfleet idk why

[wind hazel]

uh, from -2% to -20%, i got it backwards

[ivory sigil]

Their torpedo dmg was hurt imo, letting auto in lethal probably bad idea

[wind hazel]

what are you using

[hollow gust]

literally dont need anything, good fleet comp solves most issues

[ivory sigil]

Cuz my 13-1 run did encounter a sink ship during Bossfleet but i manage to restart the match in time and S in 2nd try

[wind hazel]

what are you using what are you using what are you using what are you using what are you using what are you using

[hollow gust]

All the collab ships are tankier, stronger and flat better then anything we can imagine when w13 came around
if you are losing then thats the fattest fucking skill issue imaginable

[rapid shard]

Recent collabs do well in W15 so they should stomp 13

[zenith heron]

Especially the Date A Live, Gridman and To Love Ru Units specifically

[onyx flame]

either gear issue or 2nd fleet is 🥀

[rapid shard]

my bet is lack of AA

[hollow gust]

Hell tohka is basically drake + aug + fatesim

[woven star]

Is any chance Shimanto will become coinable any soon? Or only research 5 will be?

[rapid shard]

Dr5 and Pr6 soon

[woven star]

Good thx

[wind hazel]

bro stop typing wikipedia, just show screenshot of your fleet

you've been typing since 5mins ago, im a little scared now

[rapid shard]

this is EN we hate reading

[ivory sigil]

oki

[plain saffron]

[rapid shard]

Gear needs to be +10 first of all especially AA stuff. Thats worth it

[wind hazel]

gear issue

[zenith heron]

When did the Proto Triple 203mm Gun (Hindenburger) got released on Protocore? so that I might be aware when La-9 will release?

[wind hazel]

dont you have enterprise? or you do not

[ivory sigil]

i do not

[wind hazel]

ok it's fine, gimme a sec

[hoary relic]

[rapid shard]

The gold AAs only being +6 and the AVI auxs only be +6 is killing your AA bad. CVs interception dmg is based on AVI and guns do more dmg/shot faster at +10

[tulip tinsel]

kurumi is good on w14 right?(normal)

[rapid shard]

Yeah and W15 too

[ivory sigil]

i think i can craft some bofor but they does intervene abit on Wyvern mats

[hoary relic]

why would u craft borfos

[ivory sigil]

And roomba

[wind hazel]

dont need to craft anything from lab, just get from techbox

[ivory sigil]

yeah i did

i open 20 boxs and got 1 bofor

[rapid shard]

And to be honest, there's zero reason to rush W13+ unless you really want to. Take it from me who rushed 13 and just finished 15which i honestly shouldn't have cleared

[wind hazel]

Sir, I'm poor version

[hoary relic]

which has more use, TB or hvar?

[wind hazel]

tb

hvar is used in 1 armour, tb in 2

[hoary relic]

🤔 mhm

should i get another meck gun or go for la9

[wind hazel]

depends on whether you have soyuz cat fritz etc or not, and your BBs

[hoary relic]

technically i use my BB fleet for everything

[tulip tinsel]

guys is there any easy to get sardegna vanguard

[wind hazel]

then continue using your BB for everything

[ivory sigil]

Okay i guess i will balance between Poor and rich version

getting my 2nd rudder tmr i hope

[ivory sigil]

Yeah i just wanna benchmark abit to see if invest Sandy rn is worth yet, tho there is still alot of improvement need to do

Do i need maxxing guam/laffey2 + several ratgun to beat w14?

[onyx flame]

think you have to wait for medal for pola/zara or merit for carabiniere, emanuela or trento
that or farm wa ig

[ivory sigil]

Yeah i been timing to get them or farm WA too, consider it was necessary to get Gouden and Cunniberti

[turbid dawn]

How the hell do I stop my Sushi from almost dying to 1 3* BB node in 16-4? Watching videos and comparing it to my own it just seems getting lucky and hoping that she evades the attacks or is there mopre to it then that

[tulip tinsel]

you can just use IB for gouden

[twilit rapids]

what equipment do i put on the sub support fleet for w16?

[hollow gust]

That's why people swap to Lion and Raffey

[wind hazel]

try rudder, aquila instead of volga, using shimanto instead of traf, and maybe not mikasa gun

[turbid dawn]

Aquila+Shimanto are in the other fleet

[wind hazel]

[hollow gust]

Also it's W16, you are gonna get nuked randomly, that's why you have resets

[wind hazel]

use raff cowpens volga then

[turbid dawn]

This is the other fleet

I had this sushi fleet to do boss+the BB nodes

[wind hazel]

do you even have air supremacy

[turbid dawn]

Yes

[wind hazel]

wow

well, have fun resetting

[hollow gust]

Gouden and Shimanto aren't good fits for ships that heal off own HP though

[turbid dawn]

I'm just going off Jimmys fleet

[turbid marsh]

think people are doing 16-4 lethal full clear now XD
