gameplay-help

[fluid compass]

Ah ok that's why I still have the purple tokens. I saw that they refresh, but had them from when I started.

But yeah rn the rewards are kinda ass. That changes as you get a little further though? Maybe at least 2 gold mats per zone?

[muted wind]

yeah, if there is still stuff in the shops, just buy as much as possible while clearing. no reason to delay the reset further if you can get through

[brave canyon]

Yeah the rewards are way better in higher tier zones

[muted wind]

c5 and 6 definitely have better rewards, but you should already have done those so... maybe not

[fluid compass]

All that's there is meta mats and rainbow gear blueprint things. I want those, but I don't have the purple tokens.

[brave canyon]

You have to grind pretty hard for he purple tokens

[fluid compass]

I think the next objective is Chapter 1.6 or something like that

[brave canyon]

They will be your major limiting factor

He’s referring to corruption level

[muted wind]

yeah, corruption, not chapter

[brave canyon]

Make sure to set subs to auto

It’s really good for sub exp (they are otherwise annoying to level)

[muted wind]

if you still have strongholds (do those spawn already for you?) and yellow/red coordinates to do, those give a fair amount of purple tokens. otherwise no advice on that end, may as well unlock resets

[fluid compass]

I'll have to remember to do that yeah. All the zones are like, corrosion 3. Unless you mean corruption specifically, in which case I have no clue what you're talking about lol

[muted wind]

oh, wait, yeah, corrosion, not corruption. whoops

[fluid compass]

I haven't seen any tutorials or anything for that. I'm not out of the NA sea yet.

[wind hazel]

follow the red exclamation mark, do your story

[muted wind]

ah, guess they'll spawn when they unlock. just do story

[brave canyon]

Also you get a free redeploy every 24h, don’t be afraid to use it

[fluid compass]

Almost though. Yeah, I am. Doing all the zones at least once before I progress the story though. At least for now.

Yeah, I just have all my best ships there atm. No need to redeploy I don't think.

[muted wind]

redeploy is a free heal too.

[brave canyon]

I would prioritize story, it will unlock the other ports and let you reset end of month (which you want)

[fluid compass]

Ah ok. Well my mob fleet is max health thanks to Unicorn, and the others barely take damage anyway. I'll have to keep that in mind once it gets tougher though.

Alright, thanks guys. Guess I gotta grind this out for better guns lol

[bright tusk]

What BiS auxiliaries for William?

[wind hazel]

hp+hp or hp+oxytorp

[scarlet cosmos]

Besides UR retro ships, what are some good retros that are worth it?

[wind hazel]

ddg

[scarlet cosmos]

Ok and besides the sakura bbs, and kearsarge, are there any other aviation bbs?

[wind hazel]

obvious ones helena, indep

[scarlet cosmos]

Yup i have them retro’d too

[wind hazel]

a collab unit

[scarlet cosmos]

Ahh okay, I also remember back then they said the retro for fuso made her worse

[wind hazel]

kinda

[scarlet cosmos]

Okay :( So considering PR 8 and PR7 URS, would it still be worth it to invest in kearsarge?

[wind hazel]

if you have lion i'd just skip kearsarge. she's really, really niche

[scarlet cosmos]

Ah okay, I think I’ll just wait for Lion’s rerun then

Thank you for your help as always!

[strong tartan]

you're gonna be waiting quite a while

[onyx flame]

by the time lion rerun you can prob coin kearsarge

[wind hazel]

you'd probably finish kearsarge before lion can rerun

[scarlet cosmos]

Oh why’s that — did she rerun already? I took a year long hiatus after amagi cv event

[strong tartan]

the difference between kearsarge and lion isn't make or break

[wind hazel]

you have to wait until 2027 for her to rerun

[strong tartan]

she released may of 2025

[scarlet cosmos]

Huh, I thought it would be one year for a rerun right? Unless they changed it

[wind hazel]

it's always 2 years

[strong tartan]

no it's always been 2

[scarlet cosmos]

Holy crap I thought Guam released a year ago

[wind hazel]

original run
2 years before rerun
1 year before archive

[scarlet cosmos]

That makes sense, thank you

Would it be best for me to just focus PR8 after hindenburg or go for DRs in PR7?

I don’t have any DRs from 7 or 8

[wind hazel]

💀 why didnt you focus series 8

[scarlet cosmos]

I wanted hindenburg for wife 😭 I made sure to FS5 Bayard and Daisen beforehand

[wind hazel]

do you have soyuz nakh fritz

[strong tartan]

he doesn't have nakh

[wind hazel]

right. do you have soyuz fritz. i forgot what's after or before amagi

[scarlet cosmos]

I have soyuz, no fritz or nakh

[wind hazel]

got zwei?

[scarlet cosmos]

Yes

[wind hazel]

focus series 8

[scarlet cosmos]

Okay sounds good, thank you!

[grave oasis]

Is Guam good for my account? Also anyone I should focus on leveling?

[slender arch]

hey, uhh whats that website where you can view ranking of each ship and their tier list of equipments?

[onyx flame]

do /tierlist in #bot-spam

[wind hazel]

no because your resources should go to lion

[onyx flame]

that 0lb lion

[wind hazel]

in fact the way you spend your resources is highly concerning

cowpens owari oumi all at 2LB. why

[grave oasis]

ive kinda been conserving anything and everything

[fleet marten]

Is Gouden gun just that great compared to Azuma gun? against light ofc?

[wind hazel]

max limit break your lion, oumi, cowpens

[grave oasis]

okay ive been saving everything and only using what i got from pulls for LB

[wind hazel]

using duplicate is good, but using bulin on top of duplicate is better

[onyx flame]

yea its better

thats marco gun right?

[wind hazel]

ye

[onyx flame]

hmm free marco gun it seems

[wind hazel]

is that the milestone or something

i forgot our patch note is out

[eternal basalt]

Its coalition raid... don't think there will be a shop

[onyx flame]

raid again?

[keen flower]

wait you can just analyze it outright, bruh i waited to do saint louis before knowing
do i just analyze all the pr1-pr4 data?

[onyx flame]

all combat data packs gets analyze

the only ones that cant be outright analyze are ship blueprints for the ones that arent dev 30 yet

[eternal basalt]

analyze != blueprint

[spark patio]

Is this gear bad? i dont see it in any gear tl pics (maybe i was blind)

[wind hazel]

it's mid

[keen flower]

should i get champy gun first?
is sp boss med?

[wind hazel]

heavy

should get champy regardless

[eternal basalt]

It IS the CNY slot...

.CNY may be feb... with UR and non-raid this year

[zenith heron]

The UR version of this Torp Mag is the good one, yet again its UR Version is just as good as the Gold Quad Mag torp, just more dmg in expense of slower CD and bad spread

[spark patio]

should i do this craft?

[eternal basalt]

Do you manual

[zenith heron]

nope, unless you manual, which is rare

[keen flower]

breh, i thought you needed 20, there is only 20 print in the shop for series 2

[north gorge]

those prints refresh monthly

[onyx flame]

which is why its typically advice to get gold ones first since those are timegated

[spark patio]

no i dont do that. i cant dodge

[north gorge]

no point crafting those torps then

[ember patrol]

Had to pity Guam is she still good?

[eternal basalt]

If you need a CB with AA

[spark patio]

which should i upgrade? i could do 10 bulins

[rapid shard]

Decided to start a second account. Got Constellation from free tickets, is she good to invest in or should I still grab Bama from medal shop?

[rapid shard]

Personally id say Laff2 then Lex2 based on what you have right now then wait to see what Feb UR will be

[whole crypt]

pasta until 5 Feb, actual CNY is 17 Feb

I just have no idea why they keep doing coalition events the format is so shit

[tulip tinsel]

is there any way to refund 4 double ring packs or I'm screwed

[whole crypt]

there's basically no way to refund anything bought with gems

[tulip tinsel]

[eternal basalt]

CNY slot is January event... first since a long time it isn't

[whole crypt]

and having bought it 4 times that was definitely a you problem

[white agate]

i like it tho?

[tulip tinsel]

I know i was just dumb and didn't know it was the worst deal

[white agate]

why would you? rings are useful

[whole crypt]

the actual event timing itself goes back and forth a little depending on CNY date, it's just been a long time since there has been a CNY this late

[tulip tinsel]

Sitting at 250 dock space

[eternal basalt]

Feb would be weird though, since that's the UR spot

[white agate]

wait, did you not buy the promise crate?

[whole crypt]

it could be worse you could have bought fewer rings at full price

[rapid shard]

Any opinions?

[tulip tinsel]

I ain't that dumb

[white agate]

i still insist there is nothing wrong with buying rings; ofc as long as ypu are oathing regularly tho

[tulip tinsel]

Worded it bad i meant im at 250 dock space with 10 rings that I don't even use

[whole crypt]

shit format, shit XP, no ship drops, random rewards locked behind using coalition mode

[eternal basalt]

But maybe this year CN gets their first UR

[white agate]

oh wait, you used f2p gems for those rings

[whole crypt]

that'd be pretty fire ngl

[tulip tinsel]

Yes, -19.6x10 dock space

[eternal basalt]

No shop

[whole crypt]

that too

[wind hazel]

good

[keen flower]

what is coalition event

[whole crypt]

it's just a bad format overall

[wind hazel]

can still buy alabama for 2nd fleet

[eternal basalt]

3 fleet hard, 4 fleet sp, 5 fleet ex

[rapid shard]

None of the other Medal options better for boss setup?

[strong tartan]

what format is this event using if it's anything like that one school event im gonna riot

[wind hazel]

none

[rapid shard]

Thanks. Trying out complete different fleet setups on second account and actually following the beginner recs to see how it is and to do complete f2p on it

[keen flower]

if i switch pr ship and i complete it, does the 24h cooldown reset?

[wind hazel]

no

[eternal basalt]

So old... but yes, that was a coalition raid

[strong tartan]

has it really been that long? anyways thats a shame

oh well it's whatever

[wind hazel]

writing angry feedback #3

[eternal basalt]

Start date June 27th, 2024

[tulip tinsel]

What event

[wind hazel]

https://azurlane.yo-star.com/news/2026/01/21/maintenance-notice-1-22-12-a-m-utc-7/

[tulip tinsel]

No that raid coalition

[rapid summit]

Is Soyuz directly after the Feb UR?

[strong tartan]

oh wow

[onyx flame]

not directly one or 2 months ish

[strong tartan]

we don't know but probably not

[rapid summit]

Oh good my cubes aren’t gonna get drained at last

[eternal basalt]

Probably. Or a few weeks after.

[whole crypt]

following maintenance is Implacable archive, we have no further insight past 5 Feb right now

[rapid summit]

Wait implacy this maintenance or next?

[north gorge]

next, JP patch notes have a preview section

[rapid summit]

Oh nice

[eternal basalt]

After pizza event

[whole crypt]

could be middle of it if there's a maint next week

but nothing announced yet for next week so

[eternal basalt]

5th is also Island Reset

[whole crypt]

dead week with archive until 12 Feb then CNY event sounds about right just no idea what the event is

another key sign this isn't the CNY event is they haven't announced the usual CNY shit with it

[eternal basalt]

CN UR event end Feb They did announxe a rerun during the stream

[tulip tinsel]

UR DDG

[rapid shard]

UR CL cope

[inner delta]

#al-general

[eternal basalt]

And they give all stream content before next stream in feb

From zero to hero, a crap event.

[whole crypt]

it's entirely possible to run a 2 week CNY raid from 12-25 Feb then kick off new UR at end of month, but just wait for announcements

[rapid shard]

Still no date on Zero to Hero?

[eternal basalt]

Doesn't fit with rerun, nor the one new event per month format

[whole crypt]

did they say rerun in Feb?

[eternal basalt]

It has to be, new stream in Feb

They usually announce the stuff they release between streams.

[whole crypt]

eh, I see zero to hero rerun which hasn't happened yet?

ah well wait for announcements I guess

[eternal basalt]

(an option that can also happen is no stream since no UR, but I don't think that's likely)

[ivory sigil]

there is no more UR voucher left for free beside the one in shop right?

[onyx flame]

there missions one ig if you havent done em

[tulip tinsel]

if you did sp and daily this day yes no more

[eternal basalt]

And the 50 challenge if not done yet.

check the UR event tab

[undone sluice]

guys do flasher or take gun and create large cruiser?

[eternal basalt]

gun and contine B3/D3 grind till 15k and hopefully flasher

[undone sluice]

no oil(

ok ty

[keen flower]

do war archive give retrofit prints?

welp waiting for prints it is then

[hallow mountain]

Is this good to get? Because there's barely any anti sub weapons

Though it is niche and not really worth the slot to give to a ship, right? Unless it's W-15

[onyx flame]

i would get it since its an unqiue event aux, but there is a craftable one in gearlab

[hallow mountain]

Oh it's craftable nvm

[onyx flame]

not this specific plane, but another asw plane

[hallow mountain]

Is that gearlab one better

[onyx flame]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ivory sigil]

thanks for remind, i manage to get 300 UR voucher for free in total, aka i just need to buy 200 URvoucher more for both laffey2

[eternal basalt]

The 300 copy is a ripoff, even during regular events with more vouchers.

[rapid shard]

Took me nearly 71k to buy both copies, cog chips, gun, plane and one copy of Flasher for MLB after drops. had enough left over to buy the 30 gen plates

[gilded carbon]

I cant find the Guide for Shipyard where it says what Max numbers of BPs are needed for URs

[eternal basalt]

513

(without FS)

[gilded carbon]

513, noted. Thanks!

[rapid summit]

Anyone got tips for getting general and main gun plates…kinda short here

[eternal basalt]

+215 for FS

[gilded carbon]

...wich means im Low. And here i thought my 350-ish for Kearsage where good

[weary gust]

Buy from shops when possible and use the weekly selectors for general. Aside from that you cannot influence what type you get.

[ivory sigil]

ah i manage to find 10 more... i think it is the final

[rapid summit]

Alr ty

[ivory sigil]

end up had to buy 190 UR voucher in total
aka 28.500 event point

[onyx flame]

yea thats correct its a lil more than what you had to get for the original run

[ivory sigil]

I look like i had to skip some item, since based on my previous calculation ^ If i need to buy all the necessary item + this UR voucher... i would need 90.000 event points

im currently at 58k now. which is i nearly 40k pts necessary to farm them all

[rapid summit]

I’m using mecky and Bzwei as a bb but I want a third one, because I love high damage. Should I add Musashi or some other bb?

[ivory sigil]

Blue is what i've bought so far, Red are the skipped one, should i farm 40k pts for the remaining stuff in shop?

-# oops, exclude the coin for UR exchange, i wasnt bought any

[white agate]

won't make it

also you brought useless shit over the useful stuff

[woven star]

I wouldn't skip gold cats but as you wish. DR, aux prints maybe most useful from that

No reason to buy PR as ships should be coinable soon

[novel solstice]

Definitely get the cog chips, when you start farming for tech you will wish you had more of those.

The purple aux upgrade plates are also handy if you find yourself running out of those (I ran out a lot when I was a new player, so much aux gear to upgrade, but eventually stopped needing them because a lot of the aux gear hasn't been replaced in ages).

[eternal basalt]

Is DR6 though

And I skip cats since I got 500 untrained gold still in the box

[rain bobcat]

did you already get flasher

[rocky pewter]

does anyone knows stat/whatever requirements for w16-4 boss to appear with less mob fleets killed?

[ivory sigil]

i see, i will try to get those DR chip... and the aux craft stone?
yeah I did got like 3 flasher 1 from D3 and 2 flasher from gacha

[tulip tinsel]

i'd skip dr prints too expensive tbh and only pr6

[rain bobcat]

if you want some things to consider are cog chips gold cat and gold augment stone

pr dr6 shit I wouldn't bother

[noble pawn]

Would it happen if I somehow need two laffey II instead of one? Lol

[rain bobcat]

pvp loadout

[woven star]

DR6 Kear and Hinder. Only if you want dev them. Otherwise no reason as no reasons to focus on research 6. PR6 as I heard should be coinable soon as research 5 ships

[eternal basalt]

PR6 and DR5 yeah, though it really should have come in january, and no sight of it

[noble pawn]

therre's UR event late februari iirc, better to save cubes

[tulip tinsel]

no

[white agate]

cn ur incoming

[trim depot]

alr

[eternal basalt]

And also not really on the next event, only 2 on the banner... (of which 1 elite, so useless)

[rain bobcat]

skin is more important

[undone plover]

was gray plate poverty ever a thing?
I remember some boomers saying u might have issues if u do gear focus
I am on gear focus for 1.5 years now but still gray plate stock is growing
I do low cost occasionally

[whole crypt]

if you exclusively farm 13+ you'll get there eventually

but the new event system also facilitated B3 farming so

[undone plover]

i c

[whole crypt]

I think I was down below 5 digits for a few some time ago but looks like not nearly as much an issue now

and buying from medal shop is always a thing

[undone plover]

yeah I always buy there since it is cheap

[rain bobcat]

if ur like me and farm 14-4 all year round you'll be brokr someday

[undone plover]

why 14-4 not 14-1

[whole crypt]

nowadays I just do 12-4 or 13-4

[undone plover]

12-4 is so comfy with the ammo these days

[rain bobcat]

money

I do cats sometimes and I upgrade a lot of gear for power

[whole crypt]

money is why I do 13-4

[eternal basalt]

Chips is why I do 13-1

[whole crypt]

[wind hazel]

akagi is why i do 3-4

[wheat ore]

which UR should i work towards apart from lexington, as in leveling them up and the abilities ready to MLB?

[whole crypt]

Laffey II and WDP both good, 404 best sub but no idea if you need subs

leveling doesn't take that long anyway, worry about it after Feb UR

[wheat ore]

wait there's another UR in feb 😭 both guam and unzen took me 200 pulls to get

[whole crypt]

you probably shouldn't have pulled hard for unzen

[wheat ore]

another question, this is my dock situation, i have like 2 bulins and not many duplicates. but i can't really push campaign to get gems cuz i'm not strong enough i think. what should i do?

[wheat ore]

oh rip, i mean i still have 400 cubes so i think i should be good for a while

[whole crypt]

where are you in campaign now

[wheat ore]

13-3, this is what i have, i don't think portland is doing much anymore

[whole crypt]

that should clear ch13 fine unless you have a gear issue

[muted wind]

is traf in front a good idea?

but besides that, i also don't see any issue. portland doesn't do anything except tank, so don't worry about that if you have no one to replace her

[sonic nova]

Whats a good fleet for lexii

[wheat ore]

should i put her 2nd or 3rd then?

[wheat ore]

tbf i did use gear guide but i'm not sure if my gear is that great, should i send pics of the gear, if so on what ship?

[muted wind]

put her in the middle

okay, i just checked the eHP chart, and all 3 of those have apparently about the same? hm. i think i'd still keep her in the middle

[plain saffron]

am i crazy or they resetted quick retire options?

[muted wind]

didn't for me. new device?

[plain saffron]

no i've been using same one

[whole crypt]

start a thread if you do

[trim depot]

what’s the top priority after getting both copies of laffey2

[turbid marsh]

both???

jesus very grindy player eh? gun, oil, chips XD

[muted wind]

would definitely prioritize the UR gun... also, this is the last day, do you have the time for that?

[trim depot]

i need xp to progress campaign so I’ve been doing the event only basically

4k points is doable ig

[ocean terrace]

when does Guam event end? today?

[silent zodiac]

yes, today is the last day to get anything done

[tulip tinsel]

15hours

[vocal sigil]

is this the pr5 gun?

[ivory pawn]

Yep.

[vocal sigil]

thanks

[manic sable]

hey chat is there any way to check which ship belongs to which construction pool? trying to find out which one albion belongs to

[whole crypt]

special and don't bother trying to build for her

[manic sable]

how come?

[onyx flame]

just wait for wishing well if you really want her

[manic sable]

oh right forgot they do that guess ill be saving cubes for that then

[whole crypt]

1. she's not that great a ship
2. there's no rate up or pity in regular pools
3. wait for a wishing well event to try her with rate up

[manic sable]

1 (is true) but shes a personal favourite of mine i have yet to pull but have all skins for

[whole crypt]

but just for the sake of easy sorting if you want to know where ships are, unless they're not in build pool then by and large CVs and subs go into special, BBs and CAs go into heavy and DD/CLs in light
all URs are in heavy+special
you can always check the aquisition table fo a specific ship on wiki

[manic sable]

i will keep this in mind thanks

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Albion for future reference

[manic sable]

ohh did not see that ty ill save this

[tough gate]

is chapter 16 still bugged?

[keen flower]

worth trying to farm d3 to get flasher? i got the gun, plane, and laffey 2

[hollow gust]

She is one of the best subs and part of the best sub fleets

[undone plover]

Yes get her
If u still have the x3 and x5 token rewards from the other maps do them first

[safe nexus]

when only do i start doing war archive?

[tulip tinsel]

if you are lucky never

[safe nexus]

its not worth it at all?

i dont even know what it do since i never done it before

[tulip tinsel]

just old events you can do for ships, trash xp and coin compared to like even w10

[safe nexus]

how much oil they take to get the ships? and any ships even worth it?

[tulip tinsel]

tech only

[safe nexus]

that bad ok, thx

[keen flower]

war archive even have oil cap?

nvm they do

[shell willow]

the other asw plane we can craft in lab is better than the one in event rerun shop, right?

[tulip tinsel]

iirc it's better

[keen flower]

why does const enhance have trp

[undone plover]

Usually barrage shenanigans

They would scale off the trp stat partially or completely
Can check barrage datamine to double check

[vocal sigil]

any auto fleets for ch15?

[hollow gust]

There are a lot , depends on what you have

[undone plover]

Check the w15 guide by suchi https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15
come back if u still have questions

[winged willow]

Does b3 or d3 event stage give most currency without boosts?

[clear harbor]

Is a second copy of Laffey to save on bulin worth more than buying ship build tickets, cog chips, BPs, or augment modules?

[ocean terrace]

for the x5 and x3 bonuses, do they apply to both normal and hard? or should I do hard for them

[clear harbor]

Actually, my quesiton is, if I sortie 18 or 19 more times, I can buy that second copy Laffey, but wouldn't have anything else to buy the random stuff (already picked up the gun, the plane, and I got flasher as a map drop).

[knotty jolt]

always better to do D maps

[winged willow]

Thanks. sighs heavily in no oil

[knotty jolt]

they have oil cap on them for one

[winged willow]

I have ~3000 oil.

[knotty jolt]

assuming 3k oil exact that's rougly 11 runs of d3 for 1980 points

[winged willow]

Still not enough points.

[clear harbor]

Did you already claim your weekly oil thing from Akashi?

[faint glacier]

if i have 140 pulls accumulated for the special event pool, does the pity system carry over or anything like that after the event ends? im assuming no but 😔

[undone plover]

It is 1 per day for every map
Easy has x5
Hard has x3

[undone plover]

For future reference I recommend u ask here before you commit
Most ppl would have told u to skip guam

U can recover for February so dw too much
I do recommend u skip next banner

Well unless the SR turn out to be giga broken which is

[faint glacier]

aah its okay, i dont play super seriously and often take 5 month breaks LOL so idek if ill still be playing by next month... i figured id just go for it

• i still have cubes left, just not gold, so im not too worried!

[winged willow]

Yep

[undone plover]

All good then
Wish u better luck next time

[faint glacier]

thank uus!

[jolly condor]

There’s no point in getting the second floor of dorms right?

[tulip tinsel]

u want that asap

[knotty jolt]

Second floor recovers morale like the first but slightly faster

[jolly condor]

so then no

[knotty jolt]

It also copies the dorm slots of the first floor, IE: you have 3 slots on floor 1, floor 2 will have 3 for a total of 6 for a full fleet

More morale means more farming tho

Unless you wanna tank your affinity

[jolly condor]

so what if i already bought all the slots

[knotty jolt]

Then you get 6 more slots on the second floor

[tulip tinsel]

12 slots total if you buy 2nd floor

[jolly condor]

I run out of oil too fast

[knotty jolt]

still better to have

At the very least you can get more ships at above 120 morale for the bonus xp effect

[jolly condor]

but if i have no oil then what’s the point of the bonus effect

[knotty jolt]

but getting a second floor woulda been cheaper then getting all dorm slots tbh

[jolly condor]

yea i know that now, but i asked this same question like 2 months ago. i was told to buy more slots

[knotty jolt]

[jolly condor]

i just don’t wanna waste more gems

also i wanna know how yall have like 100k+ oil

[knotty jolt]

For me I'm more conservative with my oil usage. I don't need to farm that much tbh

[undone plover]

Saving the maint oil for a rainy day

Daily oil is sth like 5k
And u need ~2 hours to burn that much oil in sorties every day

[knotty jolt]

198k oil stored for me

[jolly condor]

i only have 12k stored

[undone plover]

[undone plover]

Idk if anyone answered
It is kinda worth if it is not too much hassle for u cuz 19 sorties is not that easy but also not impossible
An extra UR bulin is def worth 19 sorties and looks like u already got most of the useful stuff from the shop

Did u buy the oil and cog chips and arrays
If yes then go for it
If not or cant farm due to irl stuff then just get the cog chips and call it a day

[viscid swift]

Because you can gain more XP for the same amount of oil spent or spend less oil to gain the same amount of XP by only grinding when you have the high morale bonus

[rich star]

hey I literally just started playing the game just wanted to know is there stuff I should avoid doing or on the other hand stuff I should do immediately

[summer patio]

What does requisition do, and is it worth it?

[knotty jolt]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/ you should start here

[knotty jolt]

Requisition is building with medals and no it isn't worth it

[clear harbor]

Thanks! 19 sorties is doable. Will probably be most of my AL time today.

[winged willow]

Is that UR gun in shop for Guam?

[knotty jolt]

Not exclusively for Guam, it's for large cruisers in general

We just tend to call it Guam gun as it's the gun that is equipped on the real world guam

[winged willow]

Welp, I dont have Guam. I have gun and plane though.

[hollow gust]

when was wichita meta fight first started?

[compact current]

is it worth using my pr4 catchup on agir or just keep using them for protocore? i already have anchorage dev30

[rich star]

and do you think I should get Guam?

[knotty jolt]

Most likely not, since you're new you dont likely have enough cubes for pity and she isn't all that necessary so imo it'd be better to save your cubes for the upcoming UR we're gonna get in Febuary. By then hopefully you might have enough to pity her if you aren't lucky

[rich star]

alright thanks I'll do that then

[crimson pecan]

there's another UR in February?

[knotty jolt]

Feb usually has a UR

[onyx flame]

thats honestly up to you, do you value the 15 days and coins saved (assuming 10bp a day) or the 3k protocore instead (1 ur weapon basically)

[hollow gust]

Late feburary usually gives a UR

[undone plover]

Somewhere around eldridge retro time iirc

[onyx flame]

Doesnt wiki got the date?

[brave canyon]

I say go for Laffey a lot of the stuff is nice but not necessary. You can also go for the oil if you have time which basically pays for itself and winds up being free coins and exp

[knotty jolt]

here we are

[crimson pecan]

i don't have any cube 🥀 I'm down rn

[crimson pecan]

i see

[knotty jolt]

why's yours split into 2 lines

[undone plover]

If u are active u can get 200 cubes by the time next UR event finishes
That is a good chance to get her

[undone plover]

Phone

[stark quiver]

[polar oak]

Im sorry I think Im dumb but Im not sure why Im trying to clear these missions because I have been busy and I didnt play much so Im trying to get Laffey and Ive cleared this like 10 times and they survived and I still dont get the achievement Im missing something and I dont know what so after trying to figure it out for like 30 minutes I thought Id just ask

[knotty jolt]

The fleet that battles the boss must contain the ship

As for flasher you need to remember to call in your submarines during the boss fight

[polar oak]

But either way it should count for one of them because each is in one of my teams

It should work on the regular b3 stage right?

[knotty jolt]

Is the one with cowpens doing the mob fights?

If so use that fleet to fight the boss instead and then check

[polar oak]

Ill try again Ill manual it this time

[subtle cave]

if i want subs to auto fight do i put them in support or attack mode?

[knotty jolt]

You need to turn on auto call in before battle. It's an option on the left of the fleet selection

[subtle cave]

so just put on auto call, do i need to put them on support or attack mode?

[polar garden]

hi everyone, just wanted to ask about how much it will take for me to get materials for good gear in sirens? i just started it and i have no idea how much grind is required

[knotty jolt]

support mode means they won't launch pre emptive strikes that lower enemy hp

The pre emptive strikes cost 1 ammo tho so each strike means 1 less battle they can actively participate in

[subtle cave]

hmm so if i just want full auto its just better to do attack mode?

[knotty jolt]

If you're aren't planning to level them up yes, calling subs costs oil tho

[subtle cave]

ahh so if i want to level them they need to be support mode

[knotty jolt]

Not really just support mode won't waste ammo on things that won't give them XP

[subtle cave]

i see cuz ive just been trying to level them but on auto, didnt know how they worked

[wide dome]

When is the exact event end time (Little Enterprise servers)? Like how many hours from now?

[polar garden]

9 hours 48 minutes

[wide dome]

Alright should be enough time, thanks

[polar garden]

in my time zone the game updates at 12 pm, its 2:13 am rn

[polar garden]

wait what little enterprise has to do with the event

oh or its the server name

my bad sorry

[wide dome]

Yeah I figured it might be different across servers

[polar garden]

i think its the same, but actually you made me think about it too

[brave canyon]

#bot-spam message

are the vestal and Akashi cross fleet healing effects for OS hidden or something?

[eternal basalt]

No? Maybe with less TB talk?

[brave canyon]

Just under 10 hours after your post, 8 hours from now

[narrow arch]

How fast is the affinity drop rate

Theyre all at 100 already

[weary gust]

Affinity or mood?

[narrow arch]

Affinity

[dark hazel]

you leave casin/ranger/downs non-retrofit for low cost fleet, right?

[narrow arch]

Theyre exhausted but I gotta grind the event

[weary gust]

Better to put together a second fleet. The bigger problem with 0 mood is that every single battle will prompt you to actually fight. You will be unable to auto anything and it will be extremely annoying.

[narrow arch]

Ill just wait for dorm if thats the case

[weary gust]

The affinity drop itself isn't really an issue but qol grinding with 0 mood is torture

[narrow arch]

Yeah rip

[jolly condor]

is there a reason why people farm 12-4 and not the highest they’ve cleared when leveling?

[weary gust]

world 12 the sweet spot for training ships. It's the first world that drops cog chips, has a high oil to exp/coin ratio, and is easy enough that a full fleet of level ~100 ships properly geared can clear it without any carries wasting exp. It doesn't have any real fleet comp requirements either so pretty much any six random ships can do it.

World 13 the enemies are a bit too strong and you need a few carries/high AA. World 14+ are way too high level/dangerous for ships in training. And there's no point in grinding with already max level ships.

[rain bobcat]

because 6 ship leveling>5/4

I don't have many ships left to level so 13-4/14-4/15-4 is fine for me

[jolly condor]

ok then unfortunate i’ve been wasting hella xp

[weary gust]

Exp/oil doesn't go up drastically from w11 onward so pretty much your exp efficiency is 5/6 or 4/6 or 3/6 if you have 1/2/3 carries.

[stone orchid]

any advice on what kind of mob and fleets i can build w these ships? rn my fleet 1 is bossn and fleet 2 is mob but i’m looking to see if there’s smth more efficient i could make
bismarck is getting replaced the moment i have a viable bb replacement leveled and ready

[viscid swift]

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

[undone plover]

unicorn missing

hood uni sara
NJ warspite enty
vanguard is fine for now

and read cheeky's link

well put helena in boss fleet

[tranquil crescent]

should i get anything?

[inner delta]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[inner delta]

can refer to this if you need anything

[tranquil crescent]

already have both shells on maxed biszwei

[soft raft]

Get more then

[tranquil crescent]

oh okay

[soft raft]

Can't go wrong with at least 3-4 pairs

[tranquil crescent]

should i just put em on my strongest ships?

[soft raft]

They're the basic bread and butter aux combo for all BBs

[viscid swift]

I thought I told Sam we needed to move the black shell way way down

[tranquil crescent]

?

[viscid swift]

anyway yeah just pretend the black shell doesn't exist

and the AFCT takes its place in the priority list

[tranquil crescent]

whys that?

[viscid swift]

because the AFCT is just a straight upgrade in 99% of scenarios

[tranquil crescent]

whats afct

[viscid swift]

the 1% being when the 15% cooldown reduction on the first salvo is a detriment

[ivory pawn]

This thing from the /coredata above:

[tranquil crescent]

its not on the screenshot from before

oh nvm it is, wth

it like crushes it when i try to read the fine print

[ivory pawn]

It looks like you somehow grabbed an old version of the chart tbh.

[tranquil crescent]

that's what i was thinking

like its fine, i click on it, and it crushes

[tranquil crescent]

look

[ivory pawn]

Discord wtf.

[tranquil crescent]

they done gave my discord percs

[sturdy mountain]

For what? The campaign stages each have a gimmick that changes what your fleet should look like.
For general stuff, like events, I’d go:
Mob: Hood, Saratoga, Ryuuhou, Saint Louis, San Diego, Cleveland META,
Boss:New Jersey, Warspite, Enterprise, Yukikaze, Kuybyshev, Helena

As you level them up, replace Warspite with Shinano, Ryuuhou with Unicorn retrofit, and Yukikaze with Laffey II. Maybe Hood with Constellation, but bulins are a problem so try to save up for Hood’s augment instead. When it comes to rainbow bulins, I’d prioritize Laffey II but Shinano is still well worth it, too. Whenever you get a free UR, make it a Shinano to help limit break her.

In events (excluding SP) I forget about mob/boss fleets and swap them when farming so they both level up (and become exhausted) as quickly as each other. Your ships are leveled up enough not to need dedicated mob/boss fleets for D3.

[narrow arch]

I need exactly 15 more tickets

I am die

I will get laffey II istg

[undone plover]

make sure u do this guys
I almost missed it

[viscid swift]

yikes there's a lot wrong here

[ionic remnant]

so does the sea of star area B20 access pass item stack? since u get a 2nd copy of it with this rerun event, and it's skill requires it to be on Princeton, can u use 2 of them on her to get 2x interception airstrikes?

[narrow arch]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-rising-metal-gear-rising-revengeance-senator-armstrong-revengeance-i-made-it-the-fuck-up-gif-25029602

[soft raft]

Aux skills dont stack

[ionic remnant]

dang, what's the point of having 2 of them then?

[soft raft]

Yes

Keep in mind some people also werent here for its intial run so to them it'd be their first copy

[narrow arch]

Actually

Tomorrow is the last day of the event right?

[ionic remnant]

well yes, but couldn't they just make it turn into coins?

[narrow arch]

So like

A last daily mission?

[compact current]

doesn't event end in just under 6 hours?

[narrow arch]

Idk

[south sequoia]

i mean you can just sell it
its not like princeton is relevant anyways

[ionic remnant]

well yes, but i'm a hoarder

[south sequoia]

then throw it on some random elite ship and forget abt it

gear doesnt take space when its equipped so

[ocean terrace]

how much have I lost out on if I was only able to get Laffey II and Guam gun and nothing else from the event shop?

[robust onyx]

Guam gun and Laffey 2 are the least you want

[ocean terrace]

alright so I don't have to grind all night for anything else right

[robust onyx]

Pretty much

The asw aircraft might be event locked but it's not a vital buy

Oh I forgot about Flasher which is a core member of the fishpack

[whole crypt]

yes but flasher priority is lower than laff2 and guam gun

[ivory sigil]

should i try to keep oil for the next event or spend it all for this event? I could get about 4-5k points if spend all current oil (not mail oil)

based on yesterday conversation, i have bought CogChip and Aux stone

[whole crypt]

I'd say go for the chips

[soft raft]

next event is looking to be a whole lot of mid (Coalition format) so may as well try to grind as much as you can in the remaining 5 hours before Guam goes poof

[whole crypt]

next event will have next two weeks' weeklies if you really need them

[ivory sigil]

if getting 4k, it barely enough for half of those PR/DR BPs, perhaps some aux upgrade stone, or coin or plates

[whole crypt]

chips then BPs

[hollow gust]

old BPs is just not worth it

[whole crypt]

I think you mean augment stones, you shouldn't need that many just stick with weekly

this one is PR6 still semi-useful for a newer player

[slow fox]

-# I'm short on augment stones

[whole crypt]

wtf have you been spending them on

[trim depot]

is c2 the best stage to farm for points if i use a 1-1 fleet

[whole crypt]

if you can do higher with a 1:1

[ivory sigil]

thanks, will try my last 5hour before maint start

cuz i been wondering 7000 oil use on event vs 7000 oil use on Chapter 12,
1 get me coin and minimal chips, other 1 give some BPs
I guess i will try DR 1st

[whole crypt]

you can do 12 later if it turns out there's not much to farm for new event

there's no shop so it's just a matter of how dogshit it gets to meet the milestones

[hot turret]

I never really paid attention to it but I am realising that Laffey II is available for exchange and I heard good things about it. Just now with what I already had and what I grinded today I reached 117 Voucher out of 200 for at least 1 laffey (I can limit break with ur bulins afterwards its not an issue).

But I am currently stuck on the B3/D3 stage which is the one containing the side quests that offer 10 vouchers each, on top of that the ships required to survive the bossfight I didn't take care of at all lol they are all lvl 1 with no limit break.
Should I try to brute-force the hardcore stage or instead farm the exchange currency to try and somehow reach 200 voucher before the end of the event?

[undone plover]

Atp I would go for clearing SP and the one time missions

That is 100 vouchers
What level is your fleet(s)

[ivory sigil]

iiirc i had done that side quest with Guam lv1, imo they dont need alive i think

[hot turret]

well thats the problem, I just got stuck on the stage just before SP, the hardcore requirements are a bit of a pain because it forced a Battlecruiser as the flagship and I only have terrible ships for that role, add to that the required dd which is a non limit break UR I just keep dying to the boss

[viscid swift]

the missions are probably still bugged so they shouldn't need to live

[sweet delta]

In the past, you did not need the ship to survive. So just put 3 to 5 ships who can beat the boss by themselves plus the level 1 ships

What is an SP event

[hot turret]

but I cant even clear the boss with a somewhat full force fleet for B3/D3 (hard mode of lvl 3 of chapter 2)

[sweet delta]

You seriously can't clear B3 if you can beat D2?

[viscid swift]

how bad is your fleet then

[undone plover]

Can you screenshot your main fleet?
U should be able to clear b3 at least

[whole crypt]

B3 or D3, what's the highest you can clear with your best ships

[viscid swift]

like, a new account should easily beat B3 in a week

[undone plover]

But without SP it is still hard
117 + 50
U need 33 still
That is 5k tokens

[whole crypt]

B3 is a very low bar to clear

[hot turret]

well with the annoying requirements rn everything up to D2

[whole crypt]

just do B3 instead

[viscid swift]

just clear the normal maps and do B3 then

[hot turret]

wait isnt D the hardcore versions?

[viscid swift]

hard mode yes

[undone plover]

Yes it is
But the missions can be done in B3 as well

[viscid swift]

hardly hardcore, they're pretty easy

[whole crypt]

yes but the mission only needs B3 or D3 not both

[hot turret]

oh I thought when it said B3/D3 is was stage b3 in hardcore thus D3 lol

[whole crypt]

you can run norm up to B3 and carry the event ships for points

[hot turret]

B3 should be fine then yeah

[undone plover]

How many tokens do u have?
U still need to farm 5k for 33 vouchers if u have 117 only
And do u have all 5 ships for 50 vouchers?

[sonic nova]

What's a good fleet comp around Musashi?

[viscid swift]

you build fleets around content not ships

[hot turret]

I cant find the name but I have 120 of the Laffey II exchange tokens is what I meant, looking at the event it seems easy to farm the other easier currency to then exchange it for even more Laffey tokens

[undone plover]

Yes but there is not much time left
Get grinding

[viscid swift]

I still don't get how you're stuck on D2

[hot turret]

yeah yeah I know lol I started panicking as well when I realized I could get laffey

[undone plover]

If u can clear D3 it would be good cuz of the 3x tokens

[hot turret]

D1 is at x3 rn as well so I'm doing that now

[undone plover]

Go do those missions
And maybe make a thread
Show your fleet
Lets see if we can help u clear d3

[whole crypt]

check missions for any more easy bunbun vouchers, then farm D1/2 for the remaining points to exchange

[undone plover]

Yes daily mission gives 15
Maybe u missed it
Check event tab

[hot turret]

well for now I'll definitely do the B3 boss with the event ships, I should have most of them even at lvl 1

[hot turret]

I did everything and the only remaining ones are SP (which I cant reach rn) and the event ships

[undone plover]

Ok good luck
Do that then farm D1
Then keep farming D1 or try and clear D2 and D3

[hot turret]

I'll try and do a thread later to discuss my fleet I suppose but I can't at this moment

[viscid swift]

you don't have 2 fleets?

[undone plover]

No worries
Good luck man
Hope you get laffey
I gtg sleep but someone will help

[hot turret]

I'm free 2 play and ressource gathering is not that easy for me, I only managed to get one UR to max limit break as my flagship and then got recommended a good fleet a while back that I use now, but it could solo everything having a second fleet only to meet the hardcore lvl requirements...And until recently I never invested myself in the event stages

[viscid swift]

what, being free to play has nothing to do with anything

[steel jacinth]

is there any reason to keep blue FBA 19 torpedo bomber planes?
asking because when i go to disassemble it it says it's important gear
i have 4 purple versions already

[viscid swift]

getting 2 good fleets together at this stage of the game is hardly difficult and it's pretty natural progression

[sweet delta]

You need zero blue or purple FBA

[hot turret]

It also just means I play this game more casually, until recently I only opened it for daily rewards and maybe one or 2 stage grind to 3 stars

[trail dagger]

Still don't get guam from free Build Vourcher, need to force it with cubes? only have 330 cubes

[steady vigil]

the game doesn't expect you to buy resources anyway, it's only for impatient (or dumb) people

[steel jacinth]

ok so i can disassemble all fba 19? thank you

[hot turret]

yeah I definitely need a second fleet for what you guys call Mob Fleets I believe

but I can't post a thread rn to discuss a second fleet, I'll get back to you guys when I can

[leaden mountain]

whens the next UR being released? i wanna get one of the new ships coming out but i only got 100 cubes

[whole crypt]

we expect new UR late Feb but no details right now

[errant vector]

new italian event+ship is tomorrow?

[soft raft]

Yuh

[zealous bough]

But not the ur right

[soft raft]

If you mean Guam rerun, yeah that's gonna go poof

if you meant next new UR, no lmfao

[cobalt gate]

It’s going to be next month new ur

I’m still confused. Is Lexington good in general or only good for light armor

[soft raft]

She's solid enough for most things, but she particuarlly specializes in USS majority Anti-light comps

[leaden mountain]

so u think itll be fine if i use cubes for the new ships or nah?

[sweet delta]

Is there datamine? We don't know if the new SR ship will be stronger than the new UR ship

[viscid swift]

Yes

[sweet delta]

1 BB FP and 1 CL FP

[viscid swift]

yes

[onyx flame]

😔 not even 100% barrage chance in the 2026

[uncut ocean]

is anyone actually playing the new game mode

[whole crypt]

looks like the datamine just showed up and the new pasta ships are hardly anything spectacular, so save

[mighty tulip]

I got laffii and have 4 UR bulins, do you think it’d be a good play to make her my first mlb UR?

[wind hazel]

any other UR?

[mighty tulip]

Just Guam and Lexii

[wind hazel]

lexii mlb?
if not lexii first

[mighty tulip]

Okie yeah no mlb on any URs. I also have WDP I forgot. Should I just normally train lexii or data pack her to 70 to mlb her?

[wind hazel]

whichever is more convenient to you. if you have a lot of xp books feel free to use it

[mighty tulip]

Hmm okay yeah since my acc is barely 30 days I feel I can just normally train lexii. It’s not like i’m in dire need to have a mlb UR. I can just continue campaign with my starter fleet.

[wind hazel]

mlb lexii will be a massive upgrade for your fleet

[mighty tulip]

Oh. Now you make me wanna do it LOL.

[wind hazel]

what's your current backline? how many exp books do you have now?

[mighty tulip]

I have 108 books

Cowpens/Nelson/Uni
Portland/Helena/Laff

everyone is retrofitted

[wind hazel]

just dorm lexii, raise her when you're making 2nd fleet, or replace uni/cowpens if she's lv70+ and you still haven't make 2nd fleet

[mighty tulip]

I just got to ch 9

So i’ll take your advice and dorm her

[wind hazel]

ye cause you dont have enough books to instant lv70 her

[whole crypt]

if LexII can survive being dragged around by the rest of your fleet you can just use her directly, if not dorm + books then LB her first
she should be the most significant difference to your fleet performance at this point in the game than the vanguard URs you have

[mighty tulip]

I was thinking this
Boss
Lexii/Nelson/Cow
Eugen/Helena/Z23
Mob
Enty/Penn/Uni
Port/Jav/Laff

[whole crypt]

Enterprise is a boss fleet ship, Cowpens mob

[slow fox]

-# Is the card duel 1/3 chance of each?

[wind hazel]

no other tank?

eugen kinda

[whole crypt]

honestly I'd just level and use 0LB Laffey II for tanking, she should survive using skill anyway

[slow fox]

-# Eugen good

[whole crypt]

just throw her in mob with Cowpens

[mighty tulip]

Unfortunately no. Also Mori she’s actually lvl 50ish I forgot I dormed her. I can book her to 70. Also Eugen is waifu 🥲

[whole crypt]

you can waifu later

[wind hazel]

if your eugen is already mlb then use her

[mighty tulip]

She is mlb

[wind hazel]

you can pick other vanguard to raise than javelin/z23

[uncut ocean]

when can we expect Lion event rerun

[wind hazel]

2027

[mighty tulip]

Lol I need 20k coin to mlb lexii

[wind hazel]

yes, don't be poor

upcoming event is also super crappy in generating coin, so be prepared

[uncut ocean]

really disappointing, missed her event and a couple others

[mighty tulip]

I guess i’ll wait to mlb her and just lb tier 2

[uncut ocean]

don't take breaks from game unless u wanna lose ur 100% collection💔

[ember patrol]

Is getting 50 more vouchers possible before the event ends? I'll use the thing that doubles the rewards and cost

[whole crypt]

as long as you're not splitting up your bulins for other URs, you may need to watch your coin spending

[onyx flame]

you got 2 and a half hours ish idk how possible it is with sincemorale blocks but do you have any other mission you can complete?

[ember patrol]

Nope did all the missions

And Nan's having a guest over soon

[wind hazel]

i dont think 50 is possible

[ember patrol]

I got the first one at least, I'd just like to get a copy so I don't have to buy more bulins than I need

[mighty tulip]

Imma try to mlb Sunday. I have nothing I’m spending coin on. Since all my starter ships and my Z23 are retrofitted, and I have Enty, and Eugen all mlb’d.

[rain bobcat]

oh is new kits out?

[mighty tulip]

It’s just gears I would spend coin atp

[onyx flame]

#gameplay-help message ⛏️

[rain bobcat]

is that FP bb tech?

[whole crypt]

what's the roster again, 1BB 1CL 1DD?

[safe nexus]

are the normal enemies in opsi light?

[soft raft]

wdym by that

[safe nexus]

lexington 2 good at light enemies right?< was thinking should i put her in boss fleet or mob fleet in my OpSi fleets

[uncut ocean]

is event plane worth getting? forgot if it was good or not

[whole crypt]

mob nodes consists of different ships that will mostly be different armour, when we say LexII is good against light it's in the context of using her on a light armour boss

[whole crypt]

it's an ASW plane, it was the best back on the original event run but now lab Fairey Gannet is better
plane isn't that expensive though I'd just get it, better to have and not need than need and not have

[safe nexus]

oh good to know thx

[viral tangle]

gang is hornet 2 a good pick for mob fleets?

[rain bobcat]

insane that I got 3 guams from the 44 tickets

[rain bobcat]

its a case of "fine for everything that's not hard"

[viral tangle]

so like good enough for now kinda thing
?

[rain bobcat]

if its not: w14, w15, w16 you can use basically anything and win

[viral tangle]

Ight

[safe nexus]

how good is cowpen?

[onyx flame]

very

[safe nexus]

worth to 125?

[whole crypt]

she's definitely one of the ships you'll want to bring to content where the last 5 levels of level advantage is relevant

[safe nexus]

ok ty

[ember patrol]

Uh I think it is possible I just need 28 more vouchers, I am determined to get the 2nd copy of Laffey II, just hope I have enough girls to get that much lol

[proper violet]

Anyone got the core shop priority list?

[soft raft]

You have 1 hour and 36 mins left so good luck

[soft raft]

there's two different core shops which one

[proper violet]

He can do it frfr if enuff ships

[ember patrol]

Thanks

[proper violet]

Y not both

[soft raft]

do /coredata and /protocore in #bot-spam then

[onyx flame]

afct first apparently

[proper violet]

Ty xoxo

How many white and black shell is recommended?

[whole crypt]

at least 3 white, 1-3 black

[proper violet]

Ight bet

Got 2 hwhite and 1 black, shud I get another black?

[north gorge]

Wouldn't bother

[sweet delta]

wtf why is afct with "spare core data only"

[proper violet]

So just chill with 2 white and 1 blsck?

[whole crypt]

at that point just save for an AFCT

especially if you don't already have HPFCRs

[whole crypt]

remind me is that table updated by sam?

[proper violet]

Got 1 table

And 1 gold

[whole crypt]

well ideally you should be sitting on 2 AFCT 1 radar + 3 white for a BB fleet

[proper violet]

Got warspite and a royal so she could use the royal in the meantime, afct it is then

[whole crypt]

yellow shell is a scam

[proper violet]

It is got it early af

[whole crypt]

spoot is also a lame rainbow anyway, worse if she's not retrofitted

[proper violet]

Ye I retro'd her

[whole crypt]

grab second table, then a third white, then maybe some breguets, Independence if you haven't bought her

[proper violet]

Got inde, tf is a baguette?

[tulip tinsel]

yellow or white shell better on lion?

[proper violet]

Plane awe

[whole crypt]

you'll never be wrong with a white shell, yellow is only very situationally, marginally better

[proper violet]

Ye gon get white for sure myself, but yellow better for spite rn. Focusin on gey table now

[whole crypt]

at a glance it seems sam just threw everything in lim shop as "spare only", presumably since you're not going to repeat the purchase very much for lim stuff?

[whole crypt]

if you have a white it's probably better than yellow even for spoot

when used by a HMS ship yellow is only potentially marginally better on very high eva enemies or some shit

[proper violet]

Oh ye prob, but 5% bb we gamblin

5% bigger dmg is huge

Any suggestions on laffii aux?

[stark quiver]

whatre you fighting

[proper violet]

Good question, any general aux's for her?

[clear harbor]

Where do I go to update Battlesupport for my guild? Would it be inactive during the guild boss event?

Also, apparently I submitted mine without gear. Do I just need to make sure they have gear when I submit updates?

[whole crypt]

where are you getting this 5% from

you realize it's +5% on crits

[proper violet]

Yeee

[whole crypt]

and it's also less FP

[stark quiver]

crit farming does not exist

[proper violet]

Tbf I have no idea how important fp rlly is

[stark quiver]

like pretty important

[whole crypt]

1FP = 1% of weapon damage

[proper violet]

Oh damn, thas actually big

[stark quiver]

what rly?

so youre doing almost 2x weap damage with max fp

[whole crypt]

if your weapon does 100 damage every FP is 1 more damage

if you simplify the dmg formula

[clear harbor]

@undone plover @brave canyon We did it. I got enough sorites in to get the second copy of Laffey. 🎉

[whole crypt]

but going from 800 to 810 FP isn't going to be a 10% increase in damage

[whole crypt]

you should know this math

[proper violet]

I use table and black shell on musashi, shud I use white shell instead of table?

[stark quiver]

i dont do game mechs
thats why i dont answer these type of qs

[sweet delta]

1 FP = 1% of weapon damage
10 FP ~= 1% of weapon damage

[zenith peak]

soyuz rerun when?

[whole crypt]

for anything where it matters white > black

the usual is white + radar/table, black is only when you don't want the faster first shot for whatever reason

[proper violet]

Thought was musashi alrdy got mini white shell built in

At least the skill

[whole crypt]

her skill crit dmg increase stacks with gear

[proper violet]

Ye, but crit rate is wild

[whole crypt]

the point is wherever it actually matters the HIT stat is more important to make sure you don't lose damage to missing

[proper violet]

Usually in games, dunno how big it is here

[whole crypt]

you have very little control over crits, the point is you want the HIT on white shells

[soft raft]

^

[proper violet]

Ight bet

Awe kinda like wow hitrate

Is there like a cap?

For how much hit u wanna add?

[whole crypt]

you're not going to hit max for anything relevant

[proper violet]

Ight bet

[stark quiver]

if you hit max crit rate you are a hacker

[fleet berry]

In practice, excluding eva rate debuffing BB can go between 75%-90%, right?

[stark quiver]

also can i perhaps farm 10k event pts in 40 mins

[short wagon]

yea @whole crypt i had to go to work and then realised i had an exam in 7 hours i didnt get laffey

🫩

[clear harbor]

You still have 45 minutes. Is that enough time?

[short wagon]

no i need sleep shits in 7 hours and 15 minutes

[whole crypt]

something like that, I haven't checked the actual numbers in a while but the bottom line is the averages say you lose more damage missing using black shells wherever it's relevant

[short wagon]

welp i guess theres always the future
like 4 yeats from now there MIGHT be a SLIGHT CHANCE guam rerun agaib

[whole crypt]

Guam isn't going to rerun again, she'll be perm next year

the question is how will Laffey II perm be handled

[short wagon]

never getting laffey 2

✌🏻✌🏻

[whole crypt]

just wait for it we don't know how they'll handle archive for shop UR

[short wagon]

hopefully

[clear harbor]

That's rough. Hopefully you'll have success with the next UR event. In any case, good luck with your exam. That's likely more important anyway.

[south sequoia]

Datamine up?

[fleet berry]

MTL only so far.
#gameplay-help message

[vale spindle]

idk if we will do an official datamine today due to lack of available dataminer people

if this was like 2 years ago i probably would have scrounged up something myself but i am too lazy and tired for that now :murmwatvanish:

[south sequoia]

Oh

[clear harbor]

Right now my OpSi boss fleet is
Lion, Bisz, Hakuhou
Anchorage, Sandy, Eldridge

How much damage would I lose going from Hakuhou to Unicorn. I'm wondering if I might be able to start onefleeting OpSi to cut down on gear swapping.
Edit: Ignore the Augment. Showing loadout for the planes. Those are are the best planes I have.

[whole crypt]

sam do you just blanket the whole core lim with "buy with spare cores" because AFCT is probably a notch above the other items in terms of priority

[south sequoia]

Big 2026 and we still giving non 100% barrages to ssr bbs

[soft raft]

You would definetly need Unicorn if you want that to solo OpSi because otherwise you'd have no heals

Also i'd imagine you wouldnt really need a firm number to determine the damage loss when you're comparing a UR damage CV to a SSR healer

[whole crypt]

what you're looking for is a strong mob fleet not a boss fleet with a healer
it's going to vary depending on how much you want the fleet to handle and how much you can stack in terms of gear

[vale spindle]

pausers nagami may or may not be active

[whole crypt]

for a start yes you can put Unicorn in the fleet but you'll probably want to replace both BisZwei and Hakuhou
vanguard wants better DPS and utility

[vale spindle]

id just remove the disclaimer at that point then

[vale spindle]

he is not active

[sweet delta]

id just mix them with the other columns

[vale spindle]

that makes sense

[whole crypt]

yeh just chuck the lim shop stuff into the other two

[sweet delta]

also some boxes could use a description like
"drops to low priority after owning 1"

[stark quiver]

does event in in 25 min

[quaint shadow]

T3 Lion or T2 Laffey II hmmm

[clear harbor]

@soft raft @whole crypt Thanks. Food for thought. I could try playing around with a few fleet comps.

[whole crypt]

never split up your bulins for URs

MLB one ship at a time

[brave canyon]

Just reset bro

[soft raft]

It's either MLB or nothing
You dont want to be caught with your pants down with a partially LB UR when a new one comes out and becomes a higher priority target

[quaint shadow]

Aight then I guess I'll max out my Lion since she's been wiping out everything

[civic prairie]

laffey-2 any good?

[glad halo]

should I get guam's gun?

[scarlet cosmos]

yes

[soft raft]

Always get event gear
Guam gun is the best anti-med CB gun

[whole crypt]

and heavy

[soft raft]

oh yeah true because Brest gun is 🐌

[ember patrol]

I managed to get the vouchers in that little time I had, 50 in only 2 and a half hours lol

[orchid reef]

i just made my unzen mlb, do i move all gear from ibuki on her?

[whole crypt]

pretty much

[uncut ocean]

Question: How many new units in upcoming event?

[whole crypt]

3

[uncut ocean]

your game looks so saturated, how do i make mine look like that

[orchid reef]

rtx, its somehow still accidentaly turned on 😭

[eternal basalt]

2 in banner, 1 for points

[white agate]

its on emu

[gilded carbon]

How High-Prio is Cowpens? Even though i dread the answer

[whole crypt]

did you miss her or just don't want to raise her

[gilded carbon]

Her Design is an atrocity. But that is subjective taste.

[wind hazel]

she's the healer meta

[gilded carbon]

I do not really wanna raise her

[wind hazel]

then dont 👍🏼

[whole crypt]

allow me to teach you this neat trick: don't look at the screen when running shit

[gilded carbon]

So with the exception of Uni she outdoes other CVL-Healers? By courtesy of being new

[whole crypt]

she's better than Unicorn in some cases

[wind hazel]

she is even better than unicorn

[gilded carbon]

The option at Hand,im afraid X

She will see lvl then. Prog demands some sacrifice.

Thank you two

[wind hazel]

dont have to force yourself. game can be completed without X ship

[slow fox]

-# False. I can't complete the game without amagi

[gilded carbon]

I try. Will make me enjoy my fav Ships even more if nothing else

Not like i have Space to lvl her skills right now. But that will be available soon again

[white agate]

false. can't complete the game without long island and a starter

[whole crypt]

you can complete the game without using them after the forced tutorials

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼

[white agate]

can't skip the forced tutorial tho

[whole crypt]

if you want to be pedantic about "using a ship" I guess?

[narrow arch]

Damn I passed out and missed my last few battles to try and get laffey 2

[rain bobcat]

I mean I don't think many people even used unicorn for ch16

[tropic tusk]

y not? she not good for 16?

[whole crypt]

not for -3 and -4 at least because most people copied the Cowpens/DD template

[white agate]

less dmg than cow

[tropic tusk]

nooo she getting replaced

[warm flax]

When was Alsace's summer skin rerun?

[rapid shard]

Black friday that just passed

[white agate]

just wait for her rerun by this point

[rain bobcat]

whenever alsace herself reruns

[narrow arch]

I have 3 UR bulins.
My only main fleet goes as follows
Portland (R), Z23 (R), Helena (R)
Unicorn (R), Maryland (R), and Enterprise

The URs i own are Guam, Willy D, Musashi, Lexington II, and New Jersey.

Are any of these worth investing in preemptively before I try to replace porter or do I have to wait for another UR

[wind hazel]

you might as well save the 3 bulin and wait for feb UR reveal before deciding to invest in either musashi or lexii or new ur

dont touch any of them if you cannot max limit break in one go

[narrow arch]

I can MLB in one go on all of them except Lexington IIRC because I dont have her level 70 yet

[wind hazel]

show them

[narrow arch]

I cant

[tranquil rock]

lowk guam should replace portland r as main tank

[wind hazel]

i forgot maintenance lol

[narrow arch]

Yeah lmao

[wind hazel]

show when maintenance is done

[narrow arch]

See you in 3 hours

Im so mad I fell asleep and missed my last couple of tickets for laffey II

[wind hazel]

it's ok laffey sucks anyway

[tranquil rock]

i got laffey ii the first time and shes been peak ever since

[keen bloom]

i have a question . Are there any ways to deal with light armor enemy other than using HVAR plane ? (i think my HE gun for BB is kind of suck)

[wind hazel]

why do you think he gun sucks

unless you're using the wrong he gun on your bb

[rapid shard]

Only BB I can think of that sucks against light armor is Massachusetts with her unique augment

[tranquil rock]

are you using the wrong HE gun for your bb or just plain out using a bad HE gun

[keen bloom]

beside the triple 406mm MkII i tried afew but the salvo just straight up missing

[rapid shard]

What boss you fighting?

[wind hazel]

that's why zwei is good

black hole keeps enemy in place, salvo miss less

[keen bloom]

a DD one

i dont remember exactly the name

[rapid shard]

Campaign, META, Opsi?

[gilded carbon]

Together with the Admirality Fire Table-thing wich reduced gun-spread Zwei is pretty accurate

[keen bloom]

hard campaign

9-4 !? sr i cant remember exactly

also which HE gun would u guys use if you encounter a light armor enemy

[onyx flame]

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

[keen bloom]

thanks you

[gilded carbon]

The spinning-motion DDs? Why not use a CV with Freeze?

[keen bloom]

i try using formidable but the torp is going clueless

[gilded carbon]

Do you have AvP?

[muted wind]

yeah, excluding some specific gear and ships, CVs are not a great anti-light choice.
-# also they're at 9-4. let's not expect too much
formidable is not a bad choice to make BB salvos more consistent though

[gilded carbon]

August von Parcival, Season 4 Blueprint Ship. An IB Carrier with a decent Freeze

[gilded carbon]

It was the easiest way to have them keep still to hit them that i knew off

[strong tartan]

formidable should work just fine

[woven star]

There is a chance that you have weak vanguards ships. Imo before smthing w 12-13 they deal most dmg instead of main slow fleet

Portland, Helena and smthing third?

[keen bloom]

I use rare DD to farm some exp

[strong tartan]

just use whatever started you picked

[woven star]

First of all is it "safe" stage? To farm exp you should drop thread to safe. And w9 not best place for farming second fleet exp. Which I guess is not optimal

[onyx flame]

its hardmode you shouldnt even be 'farming' exp there

[woven star]

Second. You should mlb and retrofit Unicorn. She can help to keep alive low rare and level ships. And imo farming exp at w9. At least w10 or even w11 would be minimum stage for that. Ideally w12 but not sure if it's doable on player's low lvl with one fleet

[wind hazel]

what about third

[woven star]

don't tell about fight club will be the third

[jaunty vault]

what fight club

[gilded carbon]

its a joke. Fight Club is a movie and an important scene is when the MC gets told that the first rule of Fight Club is not to talk about the Fight Club

there is no Fight Club in AL

[jaunty vault]

broke the first rule 🥀

[woven star]

no, he didn't. There's no FC in AL

[tulip tinsel]

maint should end in 45min right?

[polar garden]

imagine my face when i logged into a game and i see this

[soft raft]

🆗

[jolly condor]

that’s how it always is

[undone plover]

this is just placeholder text
it is not dynamic so it should end in 30 mins

or 1 second

[ocean terrace]

how long till we know how good the new ships are?

[jolly condor]

that was hilarious

[tulip tinsel]

not 100% so lowk junk

[hybrid willow]

Just ended 👍🏾

[undone plover]

as long as it takes sushi to bother to evaluate them
altho elites are never meta
and the SR has 80% barrage from what I saw

[ocean terrace]

at least my wallet's safe for now then

[undone plover]

~~mine is not safe from chien skin ~~

[jolly condor]

most people just say skip sr for then next ur

[ocean terrace]

I'm sad though, only managed to play for 2 days this Guam event
only got Guam gun and 1 Laffey II copy

[tulip tinsel]

wise choice ngl

[undone plover]

can do 1-3 builds/day and hope for the best
but if u want to guarentee Feb UR make sure u have 300 cubes by middle of next month

[ocean terrace]

400...?

oh right middle of next month

[undone plover]

u got the best things
reruns are always difficult esp if u dont have a lot of time

[ocean terrace]

yeah this format is new to me as well, though it's the old format
such a drag getting through it

[undone plover]

did u miss flasher?

[ocean terrace]

got her from builds :D

[undone plover]

oh nice then u rly didnt miss anything

[ocean terrace]

laffey II 2nd copy would've been nice, gold plates too

[undone plover]

this event is more chill (actually most ppl hate this type of format ) so u can hopefully go back to old rhythm of playing

[undone plover]

honestly it was a tall order going for 2nd copy
and it is not that crucial if u are smart with your bulins

[ocean terrace]

I was greedy and did 40 extra pulls for Guam copies since I really wanted to use her and got none 😭

I still have 600 cubes left but it's sad

[tulip tinsel]

Good gun or it's completely new and not tested?

[undone plover]

that is why we dont recommend it
play the long game and be patient
statistics are on your side

[wind hazel]

it's crap

[tropic tusk]

game is up?

[undone plover]

old SAP gun
technically usable in medium but no one bothers since u dont want to waste gold plates on it

[wind hazel]

not exactly crap crap, but crap use

[tropic tusk]

nice

[ocean terrace]

should I wait to see if it's worth pulling this event? I have 600 cubes

[wind hazel]

just pull 3 a day

[ocean terrace]

does ancho need fs5? or should I focus on other ships for now after dev30

[undone plover]

she works fine w/o it
If u have sth more urgent

[wind hazel]

just small bonus for her, she works dev30

[manic sable]

so can we keep getting these by grinding the main campaign?

[wind hazel]

no lol

[manic sable]

or is that event just over now?

[sleek flower]

no

yeah its over

[wind hazel]

it's joever. you can exchange whatever currency you have left in the shop but that's it. no more gaining it

[tulip tinsel]

unobtainable now

[manic sable]

[safe nexus]

is current banner worth pulling at all?

[tropic tusk]

new ship day 1 please wait

[wind hazel]

it's easy conclusion

you have a lot of cubes: worth pulling
you don't have a lot of cubes: not worth pulling

[safe nexus]

ok im broke thats that 😭

[tulip tinsel]

geh is this event like the admiral zenker one

[soft raft]

It's a coalition type event ala frostfall yeah

[autumn yarrow]

when is the next ur?

[undone plover]

End of Feb

[soft raft]

Likely late febuary

[tulip tinsel]

coalition is so ass bruh

[crisp estuary]

This has been here a while. What does it do?

[safe nexus]

who better in a 1:1 fleet? cowpen or unicorn

[forest palm]

let's you set multiple of the same DR/PR as your secretary

[soft raft]

it creates cosmetic dupes of research ships that you can use to have multiple of their skins set as your secretaries

Like for example now you can have 5 different Agirs all in different skins as your secretaries

[shy oracle]

hit my UR exchange dk whether to get york 2 or musashi

[ruby knot]

Which ship has the Eleventh Hour skill? Saw it got mentioned in previous EX

[tulip tinsel]

sushi

[soft raft]

Witchita META

[idle perch]

how many ships this event?

[onyx flame]

2 gacha 1 points

[idle perch]

ty

[jolly condor]

new ship might be decent for mob fleet

[onyx flame]
