noted

[forest palm]

though I think it continued on as FFNF, but I'm no serious historian

[viscid swift]

FFNF stands for Free French Naval Forces so no

[stark quiver]

FNAF

[forest palm]

perhaps WoWs has the answer

[viscid swift]

ironically the Vichiya prefix of MNF would be more appriopriate

[forest palm]

don't most all major European navies has Royal in their name

[stark quiver]

is new shima skin l2d

[forest palm]

I'd assume no

doesn't say L2D anywhere

[keen flower]

lex 2 > laffey 2 mlb right
i have 4 UR bulins and no other UR

[hollow gust]

Depends on what you have

oops mb

[ivory sigil]

guys, i have 150 UR voucher, Only 50 left for 1st Laffey2
It's no need to rush but i had a small question

since i need 300 more UR Voucher for the 2nd dupe, but the event only last 1 week,
how much UR voucher i would get till the day event end without the exchange (estimate)

Does it mean... next 6 days till event stop, i can only get like 150-200 URvoucher for free and the rest must be exchange?

[woven star]

Ig 300. I have 40 left. So seems 10 per day

[hollow gust]

SP is 15 a day

[woven star]

5 days left if this doesn't count

[stray vigil]

What are the island craftable things even for?

[ivory sigil]

62,550+ uh oh

(I even exclude the UR voucher cost)
Is there anything i should remove?

[lapis trout]

What would be the best comp for a full NP fleet? Id assume Soyuz (capital) Nakhimov and Volga and frontline in order from front to back Krohnstadt, ognevoy and last one?

Alas this is just my assumption, what would yall say would be an ideal comp

[woven star]

900 for avi parts...

[ivory sigil]

wyvern took it all but i can farm

[hollow gust]

where would you even use it

[tulip tinsel]

can skip out on a few blank gold faces

[lapis trout]

just in general. nothing competitive. think about just using it to defeat SPs for example most easily

[tulip tinsel]

pr6 coinable soon so no real reason the buy the golds ig

[lapis trout]

also to use to some degree in OP siren. But exercises or lvl 14 up I dont care about

[hollow gust]

then it doesnt matter what you run, pick your favorites

pure level difference is enough to complete 90% of content

[lapis trout]

I know that, Im still asking what most optimal is. Want to not clear SPs but demolish them

[stark quiver]

coins
gold pr prints since you can lit just grind for them in research

[ivory sigil]

I see, i thought i must always buy it and wait till someone D30 and use it all into them to get protocore currency

[hollow gust]

Chakalov is a higher damage then volga
Donskoi Voroshilov is the highest damage vanguard for northern
Kron is Tank
Kazan is a healing battleship

[stark quiver]

you have higher prios

[hollow gust]

its PR6 blueprints, not very useful

[lapis trout]

I thought Volga would be a good healer. And I dont have Kazan oe Oleg so thatll take some time before they are rerun. Id pick Volga over Chkalov simply because of her healing.
And for frontline youd suggest Krohn, Ognevoy and then Donskoi then?

I always ran a tank up front. Did so for the past 6 years or something ahah

[wind hazel]

kron chapayev donskoi

[lapis trout]

chapayev over a DD?

[wind hazel]

forget about the hull

[lapis trout]

of course with augment

[wind hazel]

CB CA CL DD doesn't matter

what matters is the ship is good. the hull isn't relevant

[lapis trout]

I thought Tashkent or Ognevoy would be good. Are they considered just worse than chapayev then

[wind hazel]

tashkent is also good

[hollow gust]

even voroshilov is a better choice then Ognevoy, cause i doubt you can sync your soyuz correctly
Tashkent is substantialy better then ognevoy especially ith augment

[lapis trout]

sync soyuz? what does that entail

[wind hazel]

freeze, which is irrelevant to what you wanna do

[lapis trout]

aaaaahh, so more useful in exercises

[wind hazel]

no, more useful in ST bossing

the SP boss just sits there, dont worry about not hitting them

[lapis trout]

ST bossing?

[hollow gust]

its useful for single target bossing, which has to be cosidered since he wants to make a general soviet fleet....

[wind hazel]

single target

[hollow gust]

SP is just one content

[stark quiver]

nah fam, freeze in pvp usless

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 go figure out the rest yourself

[lapis trout]

Im still confused what Single Target is tho then. Is that just main story

or a fleet designed specifically for bossfights or

[wind hazel]

meta showdown, arbiter, EX

well not all EX, but yeah

[hollow gust]

abyssals, any content that has only 1 spawn

[lapis trout]

ah so its very specific thus freeze isnt that important

[stark quiver]

challenge mode

[stark quiver]

its important in modes where theres only one boss, so that you time to freeze and all your shells/planes hit

[lapis trout]

I guess I could just switch ognevoy if I do meta analysis or stuff like that

[wind hazel]

what difference does it make. it still won't be 1shot

[lapis trout]

but wouldnt that be super useful in most case scenarios

[wind hazel]

it's not useful outside of single target bosses

more downside than upside

then again a full soviet fleet is also not useful anywhere else

[lapis trout]

so I would be better off using Chapayev or Tashkent in the middle and with any ST fight just switch it with Ognevoy? And would Volga be a good enough main fleet ship until Kazan is rerun?

[stark quiver]

single boss yes
but in content where there are multiple enemies on screen, you can freeze one at a time and everything else would still be moving and shooting, so its better to run raw damage and kill all of them

[lapis trout]

aaaah

[stark quiver]

or you can time zwei and implacable and kill all multiple enemies

[lapis trout]

I just wanna do a NP fleet. First did IB I think some years ago until brunhilde, had all ships and just focussed on maxing IB out

I dont actually use other ships. at all. Have Shimano, Guam, etc. but never use them lol

[wind hazel]

here go have fun

[lapis trout]

ty ty

I got the Krohn gun from the shop now

[forest palm]

the UR Gun in the event shop right now is the Alaska Class main gun...

[lapis trout]

yeah so

its the best for Krohn

[soft raft]

He meant the gun that's equipped to Kron

[soft raft]

No it's the best CB gun for anti-medium armor, not specifically BIS on Kron

[knotty jolt]

They're referring to how you called it making it seem like it's Kron's gun when it's Guam's gun.

[lapis trout]

and also the best for Krohn

[wind hazel]

He got the Triple 305mm MK8 main gun mount, which is also known as Alaska gun, which is equipped on Kronstadt on the image above, from the shop few minutes ago!

ok bye

[lapis trout]

I know that thats what they thought but I expected people to think ahead more

When Alaska comes out though Im allowed to use it in my NP fleet considering Alaska is rightfully Russian🔥

[hollow gust]

[lapis trout]

I digress, its rightfully USSR

Thank you Alexander II

[soft raft]

That's not even true at all but okay you do you

[lapis trout]

its a joke lol

Alexander II sold it 175 years ago iirc, its more a slavic inside joke

ridiculing bizarre claims from centuries ago that frequent Eastern European nationalists, look at Albanian nationalists claiming Ulcinj and Plav for example

[tranquil crescent]

so how long will it take to get 75000 event currency? and whats the best way to grind for em?

[tulip tinsel]

why would you buy all 500 vouchers

[stark quiver]

to convert them into coins

[tulip tinsel]

[lapis trout]

iirc chp 6.2 is great for coin farming. or 7.2. forgor

[tranquil crescent]

laffey 2

[soft raft]

How long it will take is not something we can really answer off the bat with nothing to go off of like what stage you can clear

Grind the highest stage that you can, and also make sure to do SP if you can do that

Also you shouldn't need to buy all 500 of them but we don't know if that's possible

[boreal wagon]

you dont need to buy all 500 to get let alone get both copies of her

[tulip tinsel]

you can get a lot from doing daily sp and other stuff

[soft raft]

That's not what he's asking about
He's asking about event points to buy the vouchers fot Laffey II

[tulip tinsel]

and ch6 is ass for anything

[soft raft]

Also no those two chapters suck complete ass for coin farming unless they're the highest stage they can clear

[lapis trout]

Oh misread it lol

[stark quiver]

i farmed 160k in 4 days before
it all depends on how much you can grind a day

[tranquil crescent]

so just highest level for now

[knotty jolt]

Ok did the math

If you do each stage once for their 5x and 3x bonus for the 7 days this event ran then did nothing but d3 it'd be 265 runs this is excluding SP

this is assuming you started this day 1 perfectly

[knotty jolt]

if you did do SP every day aswell that'd knock off about 31 runs off the required amount for this

This is also under the assumption not including the bonus free vouchers you can get

[tulip tinsel]

you get like 15 daily for doing 1 click stuff like interact with secretary or enchance 5 times etc

[knotty jolt]

I ain't doing more math for the free ones brain is done

[tranquil crescent]

[viral flicker]

How much dock space is enough dock space

[hollow gust]

800 slots lets you have enough for all ships + some space for farming

[viral flicker]

How much dock space do u have

[hollow gust]

700+

[viral flicker]

Dam

[hollow gust]

i dont keep useless ships

[knotty jolt]

I personally have 900

[vivid panther]

Can someone suggest me decent teams?

[stark quiver]

800 dock very small

[tulip tinsel]

how much gem is 4 double ring packs

[hollow gust]

980 x 4

[tulip tinsel]

im so cooked

[hollow gust]

if you are f2p you flatly dont buy rings

[tulip tinsel]

i alr bought em like 1y or 2 ago

[hollow gust]

then you fuck yourself over

[tulip tinsel]

i know that

[hollow gust]

that dock is so fcking cursed, theere are so many ships scattered

Unicorn Soyuz AkagiU
Portland Z23 Momo(with augment)

Enterprise New Jersey Origami
Eugen Helena

[proper violet]

Tbm avenger in event shop must have?

[hollow gust]

its good asw plane

[proper violet]

Is there a prio list fo dis event shop?

[knotty jolt]

Same as any other, get the UR ship, get the essentially free equipment, then the rest as you need them

Chips, coins, oil, prints etc which is required more for you at the time

[proper violet]

Ight, thought the dark chips would be high prio

[knotty jolt]

Tho for this one mightaswell make an exception for flasher too tho hold off in case you get her as a free drop from d3

[proper violet]

Got her free af early

[zealous bough]

Oh flasher drops from d3?

[eternal pine]

is guam good? got her in like 10 pulls

[turbid marsh]

yes guam veri good

[hollow pier]

Need some advice for who to uncap. I have access to 8 total UR Bulins.

I have:
Lexington II (5star)
Guam (5star)
William D. Porter (4star)
Soon to have Laffey II (4star)

And then I have the pity URs left to uncap as follows:
Kron (3star)
Vanguard (3star)
Ulrich (3star)

[onyx flame]

shoulda just sent a pic of all of your urs

[hollow pier]

honestly prolly faster than typing it yea

[onyx flame]

Is that all your urs? Perma one you can forget using bulins on me

[hollow pier]

yeah thats it

rest are already uncapped, which is why I didnt screenshot the inventory originally. spread apart too much

[onyx flame]

I mean showing all the urs also lets us know what else you might need to fill in gaps

[onyx flame]

My take is laff2 and then finish lexi2 and guam then see what feb ur is and chrck in again then

[hollow pier]

All righty. This is my first time really being behind on UR bulins. A feb UR means Ill be even more behind.

[onyx flame]

Axtually scratch guam you got gouden, wdp might be a better choice

Could also just do laff2 and lexi2 and then see what feb ur is then decide again

[eternal pine]

who do I bench for them?

[hollow pier]

yeah maybe that's the play. There are so many URs now that I feel like they are really competing with each other. I didn;t know how Lexington squared up against all the UR carriers already out

[onyx flame]

Shes part of the prob best anti light comp but the people couldnt really test it out since there no relevant boss rn

[hollow pier]

All right, Ill keep that in mind. Thanks for the help!

[turbid marsh]

none if shes 0lb, mlb, she can bench basically all of em

[hollow gust]

You should be working on Laffey2 not Guam

[turbid marsh]

but yeah, laffey2 > guam

[eternal pine]

do I just continue pulling on the event until I can mlb them then or smth?

[turbid marsh]

i heavily advise not to unless you have 1500 + cubes

[eternal pine]

oki

[hollow gust]

Just grind more bulins from monthly and shop, you also get a URin from event milestone

[turbid marsh]

cause guam has many replacements, just go for laffey 2 at this point, save ur bulins for laf. 15000 has one, and then each month you get like 8000 proto for 2 ur bulins or something, if i remember correctly

[stark quiver]

im running of dock space, 950/1000

[little tree]

~~ i only got 780~~

[forest palm]

what are you just sitting on Purple Bulins

[stark quiver]

idk actually, theres mostly a lot of dupes that ive yet to use for mlb

[forest palm]

slacking

[little tree]

Im sitting on 35 purple bullins

[turbid marsh]

hmmm i dont have that many stuff, only at 880/1000 right now if empty.

[stark quiver]

[zealous bough]

Is admiral nak not good? I thought she was really good but I'm new

I was trying to get her face cards in research

[tulip tinsel]

you can't UR bulin her, she's shipyard ship

[hollow pier]

yeah Im on the blueprint grind still

[elfin hollow]

what do people spend their coins on, i hit 600k cos i got lucky and didnt need to build

[forest palm]

I just burn those lol

[forest palm]

Buy Cat Boxes, Reset Cats, Augments come to mind

[zealous bough]

Oh true I'm a noob lol

[elfin hollow]

didnt think about augments, good idea

[analog tendon]

Is https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/equips/id/150200 actually good to equip on Princeton or is it just to waste a depot slot?

[clever jolt]

Beginner here, farthest I've made it to is 4-1. Got some new characters from summoning and was wondering if I should make any changes to the team

[atomic solstice]

Can laffey2 and guam carry through w15?

[turbid marsh]

yep, not alone though, but they are hyper carries in w15. probably need like sandy in one team and then a shimanto/another good aa ship or something.

[atomic solstice]

Thats the plan

[knotty jolt]

drop indianapolis, the portland buff for having her there is a sham.

[young quest]

yeah indianpolis is bait, the buff skill is weaker than just having an actual good ship in her place

[clever jolt]

Who would I replace her with?

[knotty jolt]

The basic beginner fleet is what you have shown with helena in place of indy

[ember forge]

Hello, how do i get rid of this exlamation mark ? I have nothing no claim in here

[cobalt robin]

theres new medal you received, claiming it will remove the popup

[ember forge]

clicking on every medals, nothing to claim

[cobalt robin]

you can swipe to the right for more medals but if there reallly isnt anything to claim then try a restart

[ember forge]

it's been some month like that lol

was wondering if i was the only one with this issue

[cobalt robin]

havent heard of this issue, none of the medals say claimable or something like that?

[ember forge]

nope

[cobalt robin]

yea i have no idea 😔

[flint scarab]

Should I make the rainbow dd gun next?

[white agate]

i would maybe do the 2nd he ur gun first

[cobalt robin]

i would go for more wyverns and 76aa

[white agate]

also i hope that z-flag is there for the meme

[flint scarab]

(I have no idea what it does)

[cobalt robin]

it gives mikasa some crit rate, fp and hit

crit rate applies to any ship but only mikasa gets the fp and hit buff

[ebon storm]

I want better boat

[cobalt robin]

for what

[dark hazel]

Is Kronshtadt worth the mlb for crossfleet if I have 11 bulins just sitting around atm? I have shima/unzen/z52/guam already mlb, so I guess my question is how much better her barrage is

[cobalt robin]

do you any other non mlb urs?

[dark hazel]

UvH, New Jersey and Porter, but I didn't plan on mlb them
I have most URs, I think the only ones I'm missing are Amagi, Raff, Implac and Musashi

[rain bobcat]

willy is good much better than kron

[cobalt robin]

kron isnt worth using bullins on, let alone just for her crossfleet

[dark hazel]

Wasn't sure if it was significant over other crossfleets or not, thanks. Does Porter have an xfleet? If not I probably won't use her for anything so also pointless to use bulins on

[white agate]

well, guess we are not in gen thi

[cobalt robin]

she does have one, not sure how good it is

[rain bobcat]

good bc its at 5s

[white agate]

is her xfleet better than krons?

[stark quiver]

What are other hard content we have
Arbiter too easy

[white agate]

we need harbiter leaderboard

who bullies her better gets top spot

[undone plover]

one strike harbiter

[hollow gust]

What leaderboard , most fleets sneeze and harbies die

The current one with Helena my eagle fleet one striker light harby

[white agate]

i 2 shot, but i did not use +13 gear

[hollow gust]

Without Helena I was doing 80-90 bars a strike

[rain bobcat]

you can 1 strike harbiter quiter easily

[pastel flax]

What girls should I use for op siren especially for strongholds. Also what gear should be using for them

[rain bobcat]

none

[hollow gust]

Even challenge mode is more fun then harby

I pulled out a 3 million damage Plymouth screenshot out of it

[fast frigate]

is there way to play this game in pc? it drains sooo much battery health when i play on phone

[cobalt robin]

emulators

[hollow gust]

Mumu emulator

[fast frigate]

oh thx

[white agate]

mumu,ld,blusestacks; whatever works better with your pc spec

[stark quiver]

thats too easy

[undone plover]

i mean only 1 rotation not whole fight

[stark quiver]

yeah

im aware

dont even need a 2nd ad1

[uneven knot]

hey guys with my UR's prio laff2 first than guam? I can buy 4 more ur bullins from the shop

[stark quiver]

lexington2 prio
and then laffey later

[uneven knot]

bet ty

[stark quiver]

wdp variant left 9 bars

[fallen jay]

Who in this event is worth pulling for if any?

[fast frigate]

if i have low spec what would work the best

[white agate]

can lower for all 3 the optiins

it kinda cimes to how well it synergyze with your gpu,cpu,ram harmony

[zenith heron]

||Me with my 2nd +13 Skyraider 💀 ||

[hollow gust]

Why Kirov ?

[zenith heron]

Laffey 2 in the Event Shop currently has higher Prio than Guam, and Flasher if you missed her

[stark quiver]

why not

[hollow gust]

Better buffs

[stark quiver]

i mean a 15% straight buff is pretty good

[rain bobcat]

wdp prob better than aurora if willing to gamble hit rate

[stark quiver]

[fast frigate]

what do u recommend tho out of all 3

[stark quiver]

mumu

[white agate]

idk, mumu runs well for me

if i were to rate mumu>=bs>ld

[sweet delta]

Are these spawns the same every time?

And is a mob battle length of 2 minutes and 32 seconds acceptable

[stark quiver]

is your fleet shit
and is it lethal 3*

[sweet delta]

Does 16-4 have more main fleets than reconnaissance fleets and more large than 16-3?

[tropic tusk]

every year we get new pr right?

research*

[forest palm]

been the case for the past 8 years

[tropic tusk]

roughly when is it again

[forest palm]

early July usually

[white agate]

btw pr ships are collabs

same for dr

[tropic tusk]

ok research ship

[stark quiver]

they dont count for tech and collection then %

[tropic tusk]

no collab dont count collection %

[forest palm]

you're joking I know, but yes, technically Research Ships are collaboration with WoWs

[white agate]

[tropic tusk]

wait they are?

[forest palm]

yes

[tropic tusk]

damm didnt know that

[stark quiver]

mfw cheeky gueeses 4/5 ships correctly

[forest palm]

we get some WoWs ships and WoWs gets some AL girls

[lean valley]

They do give fleet tech / etc though

[white agate]

wut???

[tropic tusk]

wows get al i know

[lean valley]

"Collab" in AL basically means "not guarenteed to come back again"

[tropic tusk]

that applies to alot of games, not just al

[white agate]

non war brands related collabs

[stark quiver]

at a fair price of 200 usd per or something , wg special

[rain bobcat]

can have anywhere from 2-9 BB 3* or smth

[zenith heron]

From a Certain Screenshot, I saw some bossfleet Vanguard Doing Gouden-Napoli-Guam, are subs not that strong enough to worry about in W16?

Also if no Dev30 Gouden, should Brest be a good Alternative?

[soft raft]

Brest has alot less AA than Gouden so no

[zenith heron]

Who should be a good alternative? De Zeven?

[soft raft]

De Zeven wouldn't be tanky enough

[zenith heron]

So I guess Gouden Leuuw is now a must have in 16...

[white agate]

no

there is no must have, unless maybe full clear in lethal

[soft raft]

Wouldn't really say a Must, but she's definetly very strong for W16

[sweet delta]

I have heard that there are no enemy subs in campaign boss battles

[wind island]

I skipped the original guam event, how much does the event equipment hold up the value it had in 2023?

[white agate]

its a ur equip, so get it

[stark quiver]

they asked for value
it doesnt hold as high of a value just because CBs arent that common in top meta fleets

[ivory pawn]

Guam's still very good for top-end campaign so there's certainly still some value. More valuable than most of the event shop that's for sure.

[white agate]

just sweep the shop

[stark quiver]

that takes more than 170k event pts bro

[white agate]

sweep the important things

i am en route to 65k points by the event end i think

[stark quiver]

im en route to 10k or something

[rapid tusk]

I'm still a really low level. Should I still be running exercises if I'm getting wiped 90% of the time?

[tulip tinsel]

if you don't no merit if you do and lose half merit, conclusion just do it no morale decrease

[rapid tusk]

Is there any downside to doing it and losing? Like stats or something?

[stark quiver]

yeah
your winrate goes down

[zenith heron]

Bcs I do recall DDs in mob of W16, good thing I have all of them, so if I don't have a Gouden, then Laffey 2?

While Mob goes like Z52-Traf/WDP/Shimanto/Sandy- Eldridge?

[rapid tusk]

Oh so might pay not for me to vs higher levels then if I want to keep my W/R high?

[cobalt robin]

Your win rate is completely pointless unless you really care about that

[rapid tusk]

Also I noticed there's like no cutscenes/dialogue on the campaign from like chapter 3 through 8. Is that normal?

[white agate]

yes

story is in the events

[rapid tusk]

Ah okay

I guess for me though I've only just started playing like a month ago so all these events seems confusing since I'm arriving mid way through tho

[brave canyon]

It’s free exp and points.

You can make a leveling fleet and lose every battle and it’s still worth

[civic prairie]

Umm, for bc slot,is massena or constellation better?

[wind hazel]

does it matter

[soft raft]

Constellation

[civic prairie]

For hard guam event

[wind hazel]

yeah does it matter which you use?

[civic prairie]

Maybe they have diff dmg or anything idk

[wind hazel]

they are both SR BC that you will forget about soon. use whichever that is mlb and higher level

[brave canyon]

After a brief look constellation looks better

[civic prairie]

Alright thanks mori

[brave canyon]

Her skills look decent and higher FP

[whole crypt]

both are whatever as long as you can clear the stage

[civic prairie]

Yeah thats true

[white agate]

hard mode is unicorn plus eldkai and do all

[brave canyon]

Massena’s barrage looks funky it seems she can spam it out three times in a row because it activates off itself?

Could actually be cool

[rapid tusk]

What should I spend my gems on next? I have 2nd floor dorm space, 5 slots in training/rest, 180 dock space. Suggestions? Currently have 800 gems

[brave canyon]

But I’m not sure how it works or if its good

[rapid tusk]

Also I'm F2P

[ivory pawn]

Dock space.

[brave canyon]

Did you buy gems? Dock space is always good and if you have some spare an extra space for skill training is great

[rapid tusk]

3rd slot for skill trainig is 500 gems

[soft raft]

Why did you buy 5 dorms slots 💀
it should've been 2nd flor, 3 dorm slots total, no extra training slots, then all in on dock space

[soft raft]

extra space for skill training is great
No it's not as good as you'd think

[rapid tusk]

Because someone here told me to get more dorm space?

[soft raft]

Only one dorm space tho
who tf told you to get 2 more after that?

[rapid tusk]

I'm F2P

[rapid tusk]

Idk was ages ago

[soft raft]

[wind hazel]

it's fine just buy more dockspace from now on

[rapid tusk]

Roger

[soft raft]

Oh well at least you didnt spend gems on skins

[rapid tusk]

So spend everything I have on dock space?

[wind hazel]

ye

[rapid tusk]

Thanks

[brave canyon]

Ranger is absolutely cracked

If I was starting again I would run ranger at the start for sure. Really strong for a starter ship and super cheap to build because she’s common.

8 planes, no fighters, 2 dps skills

Super cheap oil too which is great early

[soft raft]

You're completely ignoring the fact that both skills are heavily RNG reliant to make her as cracked as she can theoretically be

especially quick takeoff

15% max chance to proc is really damn low

[brave canyon]

You have a decent chance of getting one or the other

[soft raft]

[wind hazel]

there's a reason why most newbie use long island before they get something better

[brave canyon]

And can reset lul

[wind hazel]

[soft raft]

Most people dont reset fights unless it's super difficult shit like W14+

Do you really expect newbies to keep resetting and resetting chasing the rainbow in the sky that is Ranger proccing a fuck ton of quick takeoffs

We dont call her RNGer for nothing

[brave canyon]

[rain bobcat]

[stark quiver]

i do that

[glossy granite]

What are the best "BC" category ships cuz i am not USING Hood again 😭

But these missions forces me

[forest palm]

Constellation

[soft raft]

Just keep using Hood if she's the highest lvl one you have

||Like a true gambler ||

[fast frigate]

idk why its in korean but why cant i play

[forest palm]

That's probably the Korean client which is regional to South Korea....

[fast frigate]

but im in canada tho;;

[wet prairie]

What’s the best general use sub torp?

Been using bidders for a while now, I heard the oxy torp is best for bossing

[knotty jolt]

bidders for lazy g7e if know the reload breakpoints or can achieve them

[hollow gust]

Then get the normal AL from Google

[wet prairie]

What about the new rainbow G7?

[knotty jolt]

idk about them but i assume same with normal g7e

[tropic tusk]

wtf korea has unicorn as icon

when can we have that

[hollow gust]

Tf? Enty is better

[fast frigate]

oh yeahh wrong store mb

[tropic tusk]

this should be an option instead

[hollow gust]

Apple and Android both have customizable apps

[plain saffron]

wdym

[hollow gust]

You can customize the icon of anything you want

[plain saffron]

i don't really understand but anyway devs could make customizable app icons if they want

[hollow gust]

If you don't like enty you can just change it through your operating system

[plain saffron]

i'm poor, my phone don't me me do that

[hollow gust]

Huh really?

I though it was built into default Android

[wet prairie]

Pretty sure it depends on the OS and the phone maker

iOS you have to jailbreak iirc

[plain saffron]

the phone maker can add or remove stuff from stock android yeah

or you can download 3rd party launcher but eh

[hollow gust]

Apple has built in shortcuts

[wet prairie]

I forgot about those

[stark quiver]

na fam

[tacit mortar]

hi guys, can anyone recommend a torp that has the fastest loading rate? I care not for everything else.

[hollow gust]

you can sort in wiki

[tacit mortar]

I see, thank you.

[ivory sigil]

instruction unclear, my vanguard dies, proceed 3 healer

[tropic tusk]

wt is ur team?

[ivory sigil]

They still sunk & timer 2 more is mins

[tropic tusk]

show ur team and wt ur fighting

[ivory sigil]

EX of this rerun event

[tropic tusk]

arr ex

u can just ignroe it ur team isnt powerful enough

[brave canyon]

Theoretically, with enough resets, Ranger out dps all other ships

[ivory sigil]

Dont get it
3 mainfleet LV125
3 vanguard LV120

[tropic tusk]

if i didnt remember wrong ur whole fleet isnt 125 yet

[ivory sigil]

Yeah i just raise exchange kotori lv125 to lv120 cowpens

[tropic tusk]

ex mode is more of a power testing mode

highscore mode basically

[ivory sigil]

Yeah i did pass the Lexi2 EX with the similar team... are they really demand something tanky like Laff2 ??

[tropic tusk]

laffy2 can tank yes

[ivory sigil]

But i hasnt got her

[stark quiver]

I did it with my pvp fleet

[tropic tusk]

look at me i dont even care

[hollow gust]

is the boss light armor?

[stark quiver]

heavy and then light or med idk

[tropic tusk]

thankyou for talking

[ivory sigil]

[tropic tusk]

should i even get the ticket since its a rerun

[rain bobcat]

also this event follows the old EX format

[stark quiver]

do you already have the old ships

[rain bobcat]

aka cringe to kill for plebs

[stark quiver]

also arent you a collector or something

[rain bobcat]

the easy EX format started from amagi 2024

[tropic tusk]

i mean i will collect more laffy y not

[stark quiver]

if you are a collector and a noob, then maybe the tickets might give you chances for perma pool ships for collection %

[hollow gust]

Meh I autoed it , EX is easy

[tropic tusk]

i guess free pull is free

[strong tartan]

what's the second best sub fleet if my i404 flasher and archerfish are already in my main sub slots

[hollow gust]

Mix some Ironblood subs and it's enough

[stark quiver]

MrDonny

[hollow gust]

That has been my name since forever

[rapid summit]

What are all the UR that are supposed to get perm added to banner this year in order?

[onyx flame]

implac, zwei, unzen, guam/laff2

[quick mason]

Do I need to equip the specific aircraft just to activate this talent?

[onyx flame]

that divebomber isnt good btw

[quick mason]

Thx for the emote "No", Sure

[forest palm]

all that is saying is that she launches a unique plane, think of it like it's innately built in

[quick mason]

My bad I changed it into purple helldiver

[plain saffron]

Do I need to equip the specific aircraft just to activate this talent?
the answer is no, that's why "No" emote

[sweet delta]

For 16-1/2 you should put the flasher alba/Archer 404 in support if you have a chance to kill. If not then idk. But I know that wolfpack is bad at killing

[dawn mauve]

Hey mate, which skill should be maxed out first on Laffey II?

[tropic tusk]

all

[stark quiver]

[tropic tusk]

theres really not much difference tbh lol

[stark quiver]

theres a big ehp diff

[tropic tusk]

dont use her till all max

[stark quiver]

blue skill if you are farming ship levels as well while leveling skills

[dawn mauve]

Thankyou

[brave canyon]

Does armor break only apply to bullets?

Damnit it’s true, eugen is even worse than I thought

[fallen jay]

I have none of them. So I assume Laffey 2 first and then start pulling for Guam?

[hollow gust]

Eugen is just a bad ship , armor break affects only FP based damage

[brave canyon]

Damn I leveld her basically only because I though she was tanky and would increase my airstrike boss dps

Big whoops

Still my tankiest ship I guess until I level the new URs

[trail dagger]

for this re run event, do daily clear stages or farm d3?

[onyx flame]

both you need to buy minimum 190 ur vouchers for the 2nd laff2 which is 28.5k points assuming you manage to unlock and do sp day 1 which will net a total of 310 voucher for free. more if you miss any

[trail dagger]

i did miss the first day

[ivory pawn]

-30 then, so you need to buy 220 vouchers if you want the second Laffii.

[onyx flame]

-15 if they only missed the sp but did the daily mission

[ivory pawn]

True. It's also assuming you obtain every ship in the banner.

[trail dagger]

Alright, so points and voucher is a must. First time entering this event so no ship at all. this mission is not daily right?

[still parcel]

I've rolled 170 times and gotten 3 copies (including the original Guam). Should I claim the insurance or save it for the banner later?

[soft raft]

they aren't daily

[soft raft]

How many cubes do you have left?

[still parcel]

572

[soft raft]

Sure if you want then

You still have enough to guarentee pity for Feb UR if you don't spend too much on the upcoming Italian banner

[trail dagger]

okay thx

[rapid summit]

should I use the Staag or Twin 113M AA gun mount on Laffey II?

[lean valley]

Just to be clear non-permanent URs don't rollover pity (i.e. leaving Guam at 170 means next UR event you still start at 0)

[gray sphinx]

STAAGs are mainly reserved for backline/BBs for the most part

[rapid summit]

Okk ty

[exotic wren]

essex, york2, lexy 2; what should be their firing order?

[rain bobcat]

essex in bum fuck nowhere, york 2>lex 2

[whole crypt]

assuming no Kearsarge Yorktown first then the other two just anything within 2 seconds after her

[rapid grail]

how long can a ship at 10 morale regain it to 150 in first floor of dorm?

3.5 hours at 40 morale per hour

[scarlet cosmos]

whose the best battlecruiser in the game?

[woven star]

Is lex2 second? How about slow? Especially when only 2 cvs

Anyway for lex2 order should be same as for implacable if having aa debuff

[whole crypt]

if you have them within 2s after Yorktown, Yorktown's skill will load them instantly so timing isn't a real issue

Lex going middle is ideal but not significant

[rain bobcat]

I completely forgot ruppy heals

[chrome thistle]

yo question im new, just wondering, is it possible to play the whole game without unicorn or is she just that important

[late flame]

you can, but its like playing extra hard mode

[jagged mirage]

so i have a few questions. First of all, i am getting roon rn, but i can't FLB a lot of german ships rn, so i just do not get experience once they hit their level caps (70/80/90)? is that correct?
Secondly, does the operation siren auto play feature prioritize missions/ can you make it so it does? I have grinded it pretty religiously, but on auto for 3 months now and i still don't have enough stuff do build one rainbow gear.

[woven star]

Ah, yes. I always forget that york2 have aa debuff too. Always thinking that kear has

[white agate]

got cowpens?

[jagged mirage]

there's different healers. Unicorn is just very accessible.

[jagged mirage]

experience for the dockyard mission, to specify

[chrome thistle]

nope i just started 3 days ago...

[rain bobcat]

basically every single other good healer is hard as hell to get or limited like zuihou raffaelo cowpens

[jagged mirage]

thanks, it felt like i was not progressing, but mb i was just doing low xp sorties from the new event or something

One more question, is there a way to speed up the blue meta lab fights? having to sortie like 8-15 times depending on the ship is kinda annoying.

[tulip tinsel]

if you played opsi for 3 months and bought the ur blanks from shop you should be able to craft UR gear iirc

[jagged mirage]

well first month was getting through the "story", so starting the second month, but from that point on i THINK i did buy them all, yes

[tulip tinsel]

if you're talking about york meta you can request help and let others do the work for you

[jagged mirage]

i am not really a social player, am in a very inactive guild and don't have anyone on the friends list, so it won't really help usually unless someone happens to chance upon it.

But i guess i'll keep trying

[tulip tinsel]

it's mostly randoms that do it

[jagged mirage]

i see

[lean valley]

Requesting global works pretty consistently, so long as you do a couple rounds of requests

[tulip tinsel]

you can request every 30min or smth iirc

[lean valley]

Everyone gets 3 chances a day to help others that gives rewards so they're incentivised to do it

[uncut ocean]

how did this person get 2 taihou in one fleet?

[jagged mirage]

i think one is taihou and one is taihou idol version

[late flame]

taihou muse

[tulip tinsel]

3*

[jagged mirage]

and you can rename ships that you have promise ringed

[uncut ocean]

ohhh

[scarlet cosmos]

is there ever a reason to use a BC over a BB?

[wind hazel]

hard mode requirement, only that

[jagged mirage]

nope another one actually

if you like that ship more!

[wind hazel]

i like lion more :)

[jagged mirage]

understandable!

[rain bobcat]

is BC better than BB or hard mode

[jagged mirage]

you just might need to field one. Hard mode just might have that requirement

[late flame]

-# sort by bc when

[jagged mirage]

i would love to be able to sort by CURRENTLY limit breakable. I don't want to see all the ships i have not fully limit broken. i want to see the ones i have duplicates of rn!

[deft kettle]

is guam useful?

[wind hazel]

for campaign yes

[scarlet cosmos]

really? So even prinz rupp falls short when compared to other SR BBs?

[wind hazel]

yes, she isn't even top 5 SR BB BC combined

[rain bobcat]

yes

[deft kettle]

is laffey II gonna come back next year? i dont think i can get her this year with the amount of storage i have currently

[scarlet cosmos]

that really sucks wth

[wind hazel]

i think you can spare 1 dockspace for laffey

[deft kettle]

cuz i have azur lane uninstalled

[rain bobcat]

just use her, the game isn't hard unless you go to w16/w14H

[wind hazel]

oh, phone storage...

[rain bobcat]

go on pc

[zenith heron]

If you don't have the likes of a Maxed Gouden Leeuw, then Guam is good to go as well, do use your tickets as efficient as possible to save those coins for now.

As for Laffey 2, good thing she is Grindable AF,

and for Flasher, do pull her with Guam if you habe have too, but if you don't get Flasher till the end of the Rerun, buy her at Event Shop

[deft kettle]

yeah, sorry for not mentioning

[deft kettle]

my pc is potato

[wind hazel]

just download the least needed amount, it's like 16gb total

[white agate]

uninstall the other games

[rain bobcat]

the game runs on potato

[wind hazel]

surely you can spare 16gb

[deft kettle]

no gpu though and no wifi router

[tulip tinsel]

only in perma pool or some other source

[rain bobcat]

ive made it run on a 2010 thinkpad

[wind hazel]

do you have ethernet cable for your pc?

[deft kettle]

yeah but i dont have a wifi router

[uncut ocean]

all w16 fleets ive seen have essex retro, is threre any without?

[wind hazel]

just use your phone

[rain bobcat]

simply use lexII

[deft kettle]

is laffey II really important for me?

[wind hazel]

lexii yk2 indep works

[scarlet cosmos]

i remember talking about flandre too, is there anyway to make her viable in harder content?

[wind hazel]

laffey2 is a very strong ship, whether that is important or not is for yourself to decide

[deft kettle]

if shes gonna come back in the future then i can wait

[wind hazel]

she will, in a year

[deft kettle]

then im good for now

[wind hazel]

just compensate with the other area

[deft kettle]

ima wait till i get rewards from inactivity cuz cubes take too long to get

regarless of dailies

[wind hazel]

people have run ironblood w15 or faction fleet this and that. flandre alone won't be too difficult to pull off

you get less rewards waiting for the returnee rewards than playing daily, just so you know

[deft kettle]

i dont have time to play everyday anyway ;^;

[wind hazel]

in fact you lose out A LOT more

[late flame]

imagine quitting taking a hiatus for returnee rewards

[jagged mirage]

it might be cause i pull for ships exclusively and buy ships exclusively in all the shops that offer them, but i actually am still struggling to get through stage 10 normal mode rn. Any tips?

[deft kettle]

oi dont blame me for being lame at this game

i need a break

[wind hazel]

see you next year

[late flame]

-# have a kitkat

[wind hazel]

show fleet and gear. make a thread

[jagged mirage]

completely understandable, play whenever you feel like it, don't feel pressured to stick around for dailies

[deft kettle]

mid candy af

[jagged mirage]

well, tbh rn i switch gear around a lot to grind the shipyard ships, so that is part of the problem

[tulip tinsel]

don't grind for shipyard until like w12

[jagged mirage]

yeah but... i want those ships! 😄

[wind hazel]

so dont do that...

[late flame]

the git gud push to w12

[jagged mirage]

snipping tool

oops i wrote that in discord not on my search bar xD

[tulip tinsel]

get to w12 and grind there a lot faster than w10

[late flame]

+w12 enables you to* earn more coins, chips and such

[jagged mirage]

My ships and brainstorming how to make me progress

[late flame]

btw it is an option

[jagged mirage]

yeah, but it i think it respects bulins so when i save a few just every ship gets shown

[rain bobcat]

cube in this game takes like max 3 mins daily

[whole crypt]

imagine needing a break from games

[late flame]

well some do, for various reasons

[sweet delta]

Ruppy is top 3 SR BB/BC for chapter 14 fr no cap ong

[late flame]

i lowkey forgor rupp exists ;p

[scarlet cosmos]

oh i see, what would be missing?

[wind hazel]

how would i know

[late flame]

rest of your fleet will have to carry harder i suppose - i.e. git gud at fleetbuilding

[wraith pendant]

is there a way to signal I have updated a thread with more newb questions, or shall I just wait for people to pass by ? thanks !

[jagged mirage]

posted some screenshots of my gear in the thread, how do i know what's good?

[jagged mirage]

oh, damn. you asked i just posted xD

[wraith pendant]

Ah well, I hadn't checked, I guess one bird 2 stones for the next perso to give help 🙂

[heavy zealot]

Mlb someone here or hold it for guam/laffey2

[wind hazel]

how many spcore do you have, because you cant mlb with just 3 bulin

[heavy zealot]

I can get 2 bulins from shop

[wind hazel]

if you're getting 2nd laffey then invest in her, then save for Feb UR then ask again

[white agate]

now the question is... do we get first feb ur or first lny event?

[wind hazel]

ask me in 3 weeks

[white agate]

[heavy zealot]

Idk if im getting my 2nd laffey, but ill try, how bout wdp or sumn tho?

[wind hazel]

she can wait

unless if you wanna start boss focus straight away, then dont invest laffey2, invest WDP instead

but you're kinda lacking here and there in term of backline so it's kinda shit to go that way

[heavy zealot]

Wdp boss focus? Is she tanky or hurt or sumn?

[wind hazel]

good buffer

[heavy zealot]

I lack back line? I thought i lacked Frontline - seems i thought wrong, im close to getting kearsarge , she good right?

[late flame]

kear is niche

[wind hazel]

you're still missing yorktown2 so lexii pairing is kinda half assed

best you can do is lion nj lexii for now, with traf

but you also don't have any good tank from the look of it

that's why laffey2 might be a better consideration for you, at least useful for pushing campaign

[late flame]

+laff2 is excellent for pvp (and some other content)

[winter plover]

Is that true we need all gear +13 to beat map 15 ?

[late flame]

i would say no, but +13 helps

[scarlet cosmos]

No i cleared with +10

[whole crypt]

not everything needs 13 and some 13s are more valuable than others

[winter plover]

for real ?

I thought at least max +13 for main fleet

[wind hazel]

+13 will make it easier

by the time you're at w16 your gun and planes are mostly +13 too. important ones anyway

like tenrai, 457

[sweet delta]

I cleared 15 with +11 and below purple/blue gear ong

[wind hazel]

i saw 15 as 16

[rapid summit]

You can use a bulin and the same ship for mlb right? I kinda forgot

[iron berry]

Hi! If I where to buy some PR Voucher, which is the best ship to use it on, Anchorage?

[wind hazel]

anchorage or avp

[wheat ore]

for the daily tactical training i'm trying to do the lvl 100, which one is easier ? aviation shelling or torpedo?

[whole crypt]

depends on your current dock situation but Anchorage is one of the more usable ones, at least before an augment

[iron berry]

Before an augment? Do you mean she gets powercreept by other units with augments?

[wind hazel]

no

[heavy zealot]

Do we have an idea when she reruns

[wind hazel]

who is she

lexii? 2 years from now

yk2? already in permanent UR exchange

[heavy zealot]

Ahh, right, i confused them there, sooo i build yk2 after i get her :3

[wind hazel]

well, that depends on your account

[whole crypt]

no, but if you have a somewhat decent tank and lack BBs for example then Monarch with augment would have more to offer

[wind hazel]

i was assuming that was only pr4 voucher lol

[iron berry]

Nice, I got monarch the regular way and I am coining her. For Anchorage I don't even have enough faction points yet

[iron berry]

It's fine, I took into account all of them

[late flame]

just buy all of the vouchers

[wind hazel]

get anchorage then, skip the faction tech requirement

[whole crypt]

if PR4 specifically then AvP as a CV fleet stopper

generally we don't recommend buying the vouchers anyway

[wind hazel]

IB is easier to get the faction tech tbh, and AVP to a newbie is close to useless due to absence of planes

if you already have good tank, AVP.
if you need good tank, Anchorage

[onyx flame]

what is even the gimmick for this ex

[late flame]

yeah pr voucher is just throwing money for timeskip (i have bought all prior to pr4)

[rapid shard]

Break shield then nuke from what I can tell

[wind hazel]

pay2progress

it's not that bad tbh, you can do protocore conversion straight away. pay for early access

just a matter of how much you willing to pay

[late flame]

and i agree its not worth it hehe

[whole crypt]

oh so that's why I had Tashkent in the EX fleet

[late flame]

this EX? i think i just threw rainbows at it

[whole crypt]

Tashkent was in my fleet from 2 years ago when I opened it earlier

[rapid shard]

Seems really similar to recent one where you just have to shoot it enough then boss melts fast

[whole crypt]

Unzen's yeh, it's not a shield though it's something like 100 hits on the dragon

[late flame]

-# bleh no self destruct

[wind hazel]

i had the classic

[whole crypt]

after you kill the shadow dragon thingamabob the other boss just dies after a few seconds

[wind hazel]

whats the ex armour

[forest palm]

people do EX?

[rapid shard]

Think Med

[whole crypt]

looks like heavy in first half and light in second half

[iron berry]

Yeah, 15 dollars is ok for me. I don't plan to get them all anyway

[wind hazel]

wtf

[verbal plinth]

500 cogs is op worth it imo

[late flame]

i an cog poor

[whole crypt]

I braindead cleared it with bismecklion

[rapid shard]

Triple AP BB setup nuked it in 2ish salvos lol

[forest palm]

500 cogs is absolute peanuts

[whole crypt]

it's not if you haven't finished leveling

[verbal plinth]

peanuts is alot for a starving man

[late flame]

better than having to whale cogs imo

[whole crypt]

why not both

[onyx flame]

well my meck, oumi, owari cleared it so good enuf

[forest palm]

can you even buy cogs?

[late flame]

and i say that as a person who does whaling for cogs

[forest palm]

anyway, EX feels like it should give way more than 500 cogs

[late flame]

yeah, agreed

[onyx flame]

~~501 cogs ~~

[late flame]

500 cogs and 1 msierable array

[forest palm]

like...2500 is reasonable imo

[rapid shard]

Honestly should have rewards based on either time to clear or score with 500 being base and higher/faster being more to give a reason to try

[verbal plinth]

ex cheaters stocks rise

[forest palm]

and Manjuu is pretty good at catching those

[whole crypt]

clear rewards based on actual performance actively disenfranchises newer and more casual players

[forest palm]

isn't that a limited amount?

[whole crypt]

yes but you can still buy them

you can buy up to 15 stacks each month, if I remember correctly it was like 70% first 5, 30% next 5 and full price for last 5

[rapid shard]

I can see that point of view, and do agree a bit but at same time after you can clear them its basically pointless to ever try for any kind of meaniful score outside of YouTube vid lol

[whole crypt]

anyway have fun grinding

[mossy junco]

is there a reason why in the event the auto button autmatically swaps to fleet one regardless which fleet you select?

[forest palm]

sounds like you need to change roles

[mossy junco]

hmm weird, im pretty sure i adjusted that

[whole crypt]

roles allow you to pick one for boss/mob and the other fleet switches automatically
alternatively you can also pick one fleet to do very node and the other will be standby automatically
if one of you fleets does not qualify for sortie the other automatically gets set to all

it could have been when you were changing ships on fleet stopped qualifying from sortie and it switched the other fleet to all

[mossy junco]

so if you use auto button during sortie it will try to apply the setting you chosed at the start right?

[whole crypt]

yes

[rapid shard]

Has anyone done the math on how many vouchers you need to buy for 2nd laff2 copy with clearing SP first day?

[north gorge]

190 if you get every single voucher from missions/SP

[rapid shard]

Thanks

[wind hazel]

is lion or raff better for 3:1 16-4 with z52?

[whole crypt]

my personal experience is Lion because Raff can go over 120s for boss

[wind hazel]

im just using dedicated boss fleet now

my aquila shit the bed on 4th mob fight past 2 days

[whole crypt]

if you're using boss fleet for boss then just do raff, should be less prone to random deaths

[wind hazel]

ye trying raff now

i cant get 3:1 to survive boss

[whole crypt]

when I used Lion/Z52 it was roughly 95% consistent, and if you kept an eye on it just reset if a CV dies

[wind hazel]

how do you not lose hp to the two bb3*

mine gets to 50% hp by the 4th mob, after the 2nd bb 3*

[whole crypt]

I do but you can go into boss fight with red health and win

the worst I had was going into boss with both Cowpens and Lion in the red but everything came out green

[wind hazel]

mine cant, either aquila or cowpens just gave out after 30s battle

[whole crypt]

this is why you need max tech

but yeh the biggest problem is without a doubt the red mob nodes and BB nodes more than DD nodes

[dawn mauve]

Should i keep these stuff for PR ship later or can i exchange it?

[undone plover]

always analyze these for protocore

[dawn mauve]

Alright

So, the recommendation from that proto shop is rainbow weapon?

[rapid tusk]

Do I get EXP for defending against someone else's fleet in PvP?

[jaunty vault]

no you don't

[winter plover]

What to do with those combat data pack ?

[late flame]

Scroll up a few massages messages*

[winter plover]

ah, picture on above, ty

[tulip tinsel]

analyze all

[sinful socket]

Am I the only one to have problem with Event D3 Auto mode (the story doesn't move automatically)

[meager path]

should i keep all new ship or remove useless one?

[turbid marsh]

remove the useless ones that you can get quite easily, such as the elites like arizona or something, or blues like long island. assuming you are new player, you ll eventually have to get these ships leveled as well, in like probably 4 or 5 years.

lord fleet tech sama wants them leveled

[harsh radish]

is this any good?

[rapid summit]

What’s the luxury mean? If you got extra or rich?

[wind hazel]

it's not needed most of the time to perform, optional to have

just get the 203, you can ignore the 234

[rapid summit]

Yeah I’m already doing that is it a CA gun?

[wind hazel]

ye ca gun

[rapid summit]

Okk ty mori

[rapid summit]

Yorktown II Lex II and Essex retrofit supposed to be CV meta?

[brave musk]

is this a bug? it's been a while

[wind hazel]

-sex +kear/lion

[wind hazel]

try restart or using another internet connection

[inland seal]

heyya, i just got UR bullin and no UR ship, who should i max MLB

[wind hazel]

nobody

[rapid summit]

Awww no lion or kearsarge…

[wind hazel]

then you gotta cook your own meta

[rapid summit]

[late flame]

-# instructions unclear, cooked wrong meta

[wind hazel]

no such thing

[atomic vortex]

FP or HIT better?

[forest palm]

HIT is more beneficial

[wind hazel]

on what ship

or what hull. what is this for

[soft raft]

RLD > HIT > FP for backliners
FP > HIT for vanguards

[spice phoenix]

is it worth it to +13 ur gear or should i save gold plates to +13 gold gear? (considering +13 a meck gun)

[wanton smelt]

What is the best fleet for each armor type regardless of mechanic? Purpose is to fight single target bosses. Hull type is not important. Like example, if the strongest BB fleet for Light armor is better than the strongest CV fleet for Light armor, pleass tell me the BB one.

[rapid shard]

Lion Meck BisZwei for basically everything

[wanton smelt]

What do you use for vanguard?

[rapid shard]

Tank Trafalgar flex for 3rd depending on what you can away with. Dps or survival if needed

[wanton smelt]

I don't have enough resource (esepcially gold plate, cog array and the rainbow thingy to craft rainbow gears in lab), so I am thinking of building a few fleets to throw at any situation and get as much damage as possible before I can build ships for more specific situations.

[turbid marsh]

regardless of mechanic? but all of them have mechanics though... well idk about arbiter, thats just easy as in no brain. i think what you are asking is the highest damage possible for light armour instead...

[wanton smelt]

I know it won't clear. Just put in as much damage as possible.

[random ice]

Good evening. I am just new to the game and I pulled for the limited banner and got Guam. I am planning of building her but it seems like i dont have main weapon for her. may i ask where i should get her weapon type at least?

[rapid shard]

From the shop Its the rainbow gun

[wanton smelt]

I think they have her weapon in the event shop.

[random ice]

May I ask if thats the only other way that i can get a main gun for her? is there any alternative? I am currenty saving for Laffey II so...

[turbid marsh]

pretty sure kear/lion + lex2 + york 2 has the highest possible anti light damage as of now.

[rapid shard]

You 100% want to grab her gun from shop. Its the best in slot @random ice

[wanton smelt]

I think there is a few gun in gear lab for her. But none really worth it.

[random ice]

I understand. Ill see if i can get that as well, I kinda want to prioritize Laffey II and her weapon so.. I dont have much oil left tho. is there a way to get more oil?

[random ice]

I understand. thank you for answering my question

[wanton smelt]

Did you unlock all commission slots? That's a big source of oil

[rapid shard]

You've got till Friday to grind the points. Just focus on the event stages. As far as oil upgrade your canteen as soon as you can and spam commisons. Reset sunday will give weekly package of like 3k oil as well

[random ice]

I have 4 slots for commission rn.

[vestal yoke]

what level do I have to be to clear the event SP stage?

[rapid shard]

110 average

[vestal yoke]

damn, can I get enough tickets for laffey without it?

[wanton smelt]

Yeah, that's all of them. Now just spam event stage. If you are really in a pinch, you can get only 1 copy of Laff and then move to the gun. I think you can get the first copy without too much grinding. Only the second copy need grind.

[wind hazel]

you lose about 105 UR voucher not being able to do SP, it's quite a big loss

more than half of the first copy

[vestal yoke]

well theres nothing I can do right now my account is fresh

[wind hazel]

need to grind harder

[random ice]

This is what I intend to do. is the weapon the mk something that is rainbow tier in the shop? with 10k needed

[rapid shard]

Just play the event and ignore campaign stages, you should be able to get laff2 and Guam gun before its over

[random ice]

Noted noted.

[turbid marsh]

need a little unicorn carry to help XD

[rapid shard]

Make sure you go back and do a single clear on the A and B stages each day for the x5 bonus for first clear then go back to grinding highest stages you can

[vestal yoke]

how much better is guam compared to portland in campaign?

[turbid marsh]

i wouldn't recommned using guam as of now.

[random ice]

Yeah, just recently found out about that and I am regretting now getting that at the start

[wind hazel]

infinitely better lol

[random ice]

But the oil consumption will be a lot higher than using portland right?

[wind hazel]

the only reason why portland is recommended as newbie tank is because she's cheap and readily available. that's it

[wind hazel]

yes but oil isn't a concern when you're pushing content, or when you're farming

[vestal yoke]

why does she need more oil?

[turbid marsh]

i feel you should just use your ur bulins to laffey 2 instead of guam

[random ice]

Oooh.

[wind hazel]

different hull, higher rarity

[soft raft]

/oilpsa

[random ice]

True. is it hard to get Guam on the banner tho?

[wind hazel]

depends on your luck

[late flame]

depends on how hard u pray to rngesus

[vestal yoke]

I mean I got lucky and got her early by coincidence, I'm just wondering if I should switch her with portland

[white agate]

no, just have 400 cubes ready and another 400 for feb ur

[wind hazel]

if she isn't mlb just forget about using her

[random ice]

That many?

[vestal yoke]

I should save xp books for new units to catch up with my team right?

[soft raft]

400 cubes is the amount needed to guarantee pity in the worst case scenario

[wind hazel]

yes

[random ice]

I got really luck then hehe. already got her and a copy

[turbid marsh]

i would say with laffey 2 can just... replace guam in campaign perspective.

[wary skiff]

I have 5 ur bullins to spend, who should I mlb of my options?

[grim flax]

I posted my 16-4 Fujinami farm fleet here
https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1460537087840354386

[turbid marsh]

honestly wait for feb ur, none of these are ESSENTIAL for you right now. maybe choose between musashi or laffey if you plan on tackling w16 right now at this instant.

[wary skiff]

Feb ur is Soyuz right

[turbid marsh]

thats the next rerun

[wary skiff]

I stopped at w13-1 like 6 months ago lol I’m too lazy to individually click the mobs to progress rn

[turbid marsh]

end of feb hass a new UR coming in.

[wary skiff]

Cool I’ve been waiting for soyuz

[wind hazel]

leaning to wdp or guam, then wait Feb UR

[wary skiff]

Her and Fritz mainly and z52

Guam even if I need like 20 more prints for goud?

[wind hazel]

you dont need musashi, you have lion raff, good enough for campaign

[turbid marsh]

oh i didn't see 2lb guam, mb.

[wary skiff]

I pulled 3 in first 10 cubes :p

[wind hazel]

having both is good

both can be used in w15, 16

[wary skiff]

Cool ty

[vestal yoke]

saint louis is a good ship to research fisrt right?

[wind hazel]

or you can also get laffey2 if you're getting 2nd copy

wdp/guam/laf2, flip a coin really

[wind hazel]

it's the easiest to complete yeah

[soft raft]

Luckily her rerun isn't too far off

[wary skiff]

I’m getting a 2nd copy which led me to the question lol. I was saving the extra bullins for soyuz

I think I’m gonna go with Guam and soyuz

[wind hazel]

you'll get more UR bulin when soyuz rerun dont worry lol

we still have Feb UR to go through as well

[soft raft]

There's always cruise pass as well

[turbid marsh]

8000 protocores a month + rerun 1 + pass 1, so yeah, this month can get 4 in total if my calculation is right

[vestal yoke]

is there a way to skip the cutscene during battle when your BBs fire?

[deft kettle]

is guam also good for event campaigns?

[soft raft]

Events are comically easy compared to campaign

[deft kettle]

yeah but i wanna beat e.x aswell

[soft raft]

🕹️ time then
Gotta manual EX most of the time

[rapid tusk]

First time I’ve seen this rarity in research. Should I be grabbing this one? It costs cubes tho

[wind hazel]

if your cube is low just skip

[tulip tinsel]

how many cube you have

[rapid tusk]

220 cubes

[onyx flame]

dont even got the coins to grab it

[rapid tusk]

I have way more coins in storage

[wind hazel]

skip

[rapid tusk]

Really?

[wind hazel]

yes

[rapid tusk]

Where's the priority list again of what I should be grabbing?

[wind hazel]

if next rerun isn't soyuz i might tell you to take

but it's better to save your cubes for feb ur+soyuz

[elfin hollow]

How fast does stamina or w/e that thing is called that makes shipgirls not be able to figth recover? I usually 6 runs (with those x3 tickets) and then wait up to 12 hours...but maybe I am waiting too long.. also where do u get those x3 tickets?

[tulip tinsel]

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

never heard of 3x tickets

[vivid panther]

Ig you forgot sixth char on fleet 2 💀

[hollow gust]

cause you have nothing else good

[vivid panther]

dang

[white agate]

so next event only has 3 ships?

[undone plover]

So far only 3 revealed
We have had 3 ship events in the past
So could be 3 only yes

[undone plover]

HECLP tickets are mainly 10 from the free weekly pack
And 30 in opsi exchange shop
Sometimes some apology mails gave a bit as well

[stark quiver]

Holy mog

An excuse to dump cubes

[mighty tulip]

Is there a guide somewhere for the event? My main fleet dies in D3 🥲

[undone plover]

An event guide to clear it doesnt exist
But make a thread
Post your fleet and dock
Lets have a look at what can be done

[tulip tinsel]

event so easy im running non mlb vanguard

[mighty tulip]

D3 Help

[wide knoll]

I have Lex 2, W.D. Perry and now guam (my only UR’s) who should I limit break?

[tulip tinsel]

How many UR bulin you have?

[wide knoll]

4 and im 50 pulls from guam pity so i could get a copy of her easy

[undone plover]

Dont go for her copy
Not worth
Unless u have 2-3k coobs

I would mlb lexington
And then hold bulins for February UR
Make sure u get laffii she is “free”

[wide knoll]

100 cubes isnt worth? Arent the UR bulin hard af to get?

[gray sphinx]

If you wanna have enough cubes for the February UR it isn’t worth no

[wide knoll]

Gotcha ok. Is feb gonna be a good UR? Who is it?

[gray sphinx]

We don’t know yet but if your luck is like Guam’s then you’re down another 300 cubes

[undone plover]

Hard but not worth 100 cubes
Maybe 20 max

[wide knoll]

I got guam in 30 pulls

I thought itd be a good idea to pull till pity after

[undone plover]

All new UR are “good”
Whether they are amazing is another question and we cant predict who it will be or what their kit will be

[undone plover]

Never a good idea

[gray sphinx]

Never do that unless the other ships are good 💀

[wide knoll]

Oops

[undone plover]

1 guam dupe will not feel that amazing when u miss the next Lion

Focus on getting laffey

She is actually better with lexington than guam cuz of her AA debuff

[wide knoll]

Laffey 2 yeah?

Will do

[twin bronze]

Speaking of laffey, how much dmg increase does her 6% AA and AVI debuff provides?

[lunar arrow]

Only 3 ships announced for next event, right?

[undone plover]

All AA debuffs are kinda cope in this game tbh

Probably 10% dmg buff is what I consider standard/average for a buffer ship
Even 10% AA debuff doesnt reach like 5% dmg iirc

Unless the boss had 1000 AA but then at that point u just dont run CV 💀

[tulip tinsel]

what's the best place to farm for pure coin rn?

[onyx flame]

14-4 but you cant really lvl anything

well maybe 1 or 2 ships

[upper geyser]

Quick question. If I wanted to use Laffey 2 and Retro Eld, which ship would be a good 3rd for an Eagle Union AA tank? Guam or Sandy Retro?

I can't tell which is better, Sandy or Guam for the AA strength.

[wanton smelt]

Is Hakuhou better than Shinano in Amagi Shinano Implace team for boss? And which Vanguard should I use?

[hollow gust]

sandy is a better pure AA and dps you just do not need a guam when you have laffey

[white agate]

yes

for vanguard you are kinda free, the usual cv buffing

[stray cobalt]

Wait is there not clearing mode in W16?

[white agate]

or boss debuffs

[white agate]

no

[tulip tinsel]

it's not implemented yet

[stark quiver]

Oh wait I can just raise 2 more laffey 2s
One for pve/pvp swap and another for ex

[white agate]

feels pointless since laffeii is 2y old already, but ok

[stark quiver]

What does her age have to do with it

[twilit rapids]

should I spend ur vouchers on coins or get cores from retiring? already have mlb laffey 2

[olive geyser]

is the choice part in the event story replayable just to see what happens if i select the other choice?

[tulip tinsel]

sp core from retiring ur's count towards 5k monthly limit so up to you

[undone plover]

story should all go to archive iirc but maybe ask #al-lore ppl they might know better

[undone plover]

if u dont want a second copy of laffey sure
Not like there is another use for those things
dont convert normal event tokens for vouchers tho
the rate of conversion is very bad

[rose whale]

gonna replace the gold 305 on brest with rainbow, any caveat I need to know?

[onyx flame]

there isnt any cept maybe switch to unzen if its a light boss ig

[rose whale]

she is currently the tank of my w16 boss fleet

not touching 16-3 yet tho, just finished 16-2

[clear rampart]

Hey friends, I'm been trying to assist with coaching and helping a very new player in the game; when I started over 5+ years ago I was doing the Downes/Cassin/Phoenix frontline w/ Unicorn/Ranger/Nevada backline. Is this sort of thing still good; or does anyone have any suggestions for links, wiki, or guides I could share with them to assist their early game journey?

[undone plover]

/guide only unicorn is still a thing in that lineup
but now she can just carry on her own until chapter 12

Here are some other useful commands:
Use /tierlist and /equip for a ship and equipment tier lists
Use /tags for a full list of things I can help you with

[undone plover]

the first 2 links have a lot of useful advice
if they follow the tips they should be in a good position going forward

[wintry apex]

finished c3, but don't have the stats to even attempt d1 yet

[undone plover]

just farm C2 then
can try putting a second fleet just for stats and u still use 1 fleet to right but probably need some levels cuz of the average level restriction

also could be hard with 1 fleet anyway
if your ships are around level 100 see if u can raise 2-3 ships in C2 for now

[wintry apex]

ye the second fleet doesn't have the levels

main fleet everybody is 90+ uni hood and helena are 99

[wintry apex]

how exactly do do that, do I just put the ships I want to raise into the fleet and just clear it a ton?

[onyx flame]

swap out some ships and slot in the one you want to level then use the fleet to grind yea

just make sure they have enuf levels/good gear to survive

[wintry apex]

the gear situation is cooked

especially aux, I have no purple toolkits

[onyx flame]

just shuffle the gear from the ships you benched onto the ones leveling and rmb to swap it back

[wintry apex]

out of these is raising sara kuy and stella good?

i booked them up until they reached the level limit for c2

[gritty thistle]

Can I reroll in azur lane?

[dark hazel]

there's no point, pulling resources in this game aren't front-loaded

[gritty thistle]

Sorry but what do you mean by front-loaded?

[dark hazel]

you don't get them immediately after starting, they are time-gated for the most part

so there's nothing to re-roll

[ivory pawn]

You'll also reach a point where you can just roll for and obtain most ships a lot quicker than you'd expect, so there's even less point in rerolling.

[gritty thistle]

Ah I see. Thank you both!

[brave canyon]

You can reroll though it’s just a lot of work for not much gain.

[undone plover]

Get them all to 100
Then raise stella + cleve M
Then can do Lexington (soon u can MLB I think)
Kuy is decent if u can afford bulins
But u need 4 for stella already

[faint imp]

So, I’m level 74, and I believe it’s level 80 when challenge mode content unlocks, right? What’s the main difference in content here? I would assume it’s significantly harder, but in what ways?

Ideally I should 125 my ships first though before thinking about that content though, I would assume

[onyx flame]

There isnt much reason to do challenge mode since the rewards are cosmetic.

Other than that it just getting ships/gear to beat the gimmicks

[faint imp]

Oh, okay, interesting

[robust pulsar]

having trouble beating sp, and barely beating d3, any reccs on which ships to level up and such? (ran out of exp books)

[wintry apex]

I can mlb lexii rn

I have a lot of gold bulins so I can mlb both kuy and stella
