[rain bobcat]

raff fleet gets hella melted on BB node

so u need smth else to deal with BB nodes

this for the raff fleet

or alternatively ditch laffii and run gouden while william carries asw since she has high asw

[sweet delta]

Is there any daily missions for the event stage or can I procrastinate?

[rain bobcat]

uh there's SP for 800-900

[sweet delta]

I'm cooked

[onyx flame]

i mean there 2 weeks and you earn uh 1670? a day assuming sp + 1 coalition battle and no 3x build 420 + 800 + 300 + 150
unless i got the numbers wrong somehwere

[cobalt gate]

wow these stages are awful, why are they pushing subs so much when they only give us like 1 hedgehog

seriously why haven't we got any more hedgehog or things equal to it

[ocean fiber]

Question but is kearsage and FDG considered power crept

[soft raft]

FdG yes
Kear is just very niche

[cobalt gate]

FDG kinda but is still beginner friendly, Kearsage is still pretty good in uss teams

[whole crypt]

FdG is actually not beginner friendly at all

[cobalt gate]

my bad, i think i wanted to say good for mobbing

[sweet delta]

does the nonraff fleet do the boss?

[rain bobcat]

on 3 star clears usually non raff team does boss+ some BB nodes

or you can raff team all mob but have to reset a hell lot

cowpens really likes blowing up

[fiery raptor]

is this w16?

[sweet delta]

no this is 16-4 lethal 3 star

[keen flower]

does 3* require 100%? for missions

[rapid tusk]

Is there a Shop Priority for the last Sea of Stars rerun event? (Spreadsheet)

[sweet delta]

i found that musashi can almost do all mobs without resets

[fiery raptor]

Why triple dd?

[rain bobcat]

musashi cow quila?

[sweet delta]

no but you can show a picture of your shop

[fiery raptor]

honest curiosity

[sweet delta]

because those 3 dds are good

[rapid tusk]

Ok I'll screenshot it in a sec

[sweet delta]

and because cowpens is goat

[rain bobcat]

because hull type doesn't matter

[fiery raptor]

i'm happy cowpens in w16 good i am going to oath her

[sweet delta]

musashi cow zui/uni i want to get rid of eldridge actually, she's too inconsistent

[rain bobcat]

it doesn't help that like 6 of the 10 best vanguards are all DDs

[fiery raptor]

reinstate jda?

[rain bobcat]

eldridge is cringe af in w16, either dodges all the time or gets halved every battle

[fiery raptor]

does guam/napoli/brest/agir struggle in w16 or subs just cancer there

[rain bobcat]

agir was already nowhere in ch15 and brest was hanging on by a thread

[sweet delta]

what the both z52 and wdp on this fleet, will musashi survive 4 BBs and boss?

[rain bobcat]

you mean a 2nd fleet musashi fleet? uh maybe

saw jimmy say if you pray enough musashi fleet can do like 6 3* BB nodes + no ammo boss with sub

[fiery raptor]

did someone say double musashi

[sweet delta]

i mean the raff fleet stole z52, wdp, aquila, and cowpens, now what's left for the second fleet?

[rain bobcat]

gouden shimanto eldridge/lafii maybe

[rapid tusk]

What to buy next?

[rain bobcat]

rainbow gun

technically I would buy flasher over it but idk if they'll come out with a good CB again

[sweet delta]

gems

[fiery raptor]

Flasher is pretty good

[fiery raptor]

doubles reset cant come soon enough

[rapid tusk]

I'm comannder level 65

[fiery raptor]

just bought the biggest pack today

[rapid tusk]

Gun or flasher?

[sweet delta]

i'll take the gun, it'll be added to gear lab or somewhere in like 3 years while flasher will be perma in 1 year

[rapid tusk]

Ok next what should I buy?

[fiery raptor]

asw plane

[rapid tusk]

And then remaining 1790?

[fiery raptor]

whatever purple plates are low for you

[rapid tusk]

Cool thanks

[sweet delta]

i don't have 3 +13 flapjacks and 2 +13 breguets

[fiery raptor]

why +13 bregs? > than wyverns?

[rain bobcat]

spearfish on cow is ok iirc

can just use wyvern on the other guy

[sweet delta]

wait laffii solo asw?

[rain bobcat]

reload

[rain bobcat]

wdp boosts asw too. but if you want to be safe you can gear wdp with double asw gear

[sweet delta]

eldridge lion wasn't enough even with ammo

[rain bobcat]

eldridge has low asw no?

80 less asw stat than porter

[fiery raptor]

if sushi is working mob, who is boss bb? Bisz?

[sweet delta]

a wdp-boosted eldridge

i put soyuz for crossfleet but you may just put raff to take some mobs too

[rain bobcat]

you can try double asw equip wdp or give wdp hedge and laffii another depth charge and give cowpens asw plane

[fiery raptor]

Soyuz sounds good because Nakhimov synergy. Does boss nead a healer or all-in on dps?

[keen flower]

i have 2 ur bulins rn, can i get 6 more at the time of feb UR? is it end or start of month

[rain bobcat]

jimmy uses a weird setup

he has raff fleet do every single escort and transport and a 2nd lion/musasahi fleet do every single BB

[onyx flame]

you only get uh 3 maybe 4
2 from spec cores, 1 from the ur event points and the last is from new cruise pass

[rain bobcat]

allegedly raff fleet gains hp on escort nodes

[little heart]

Why cant I battle, I dont get what the text is trying to say

[fiery raptor]

sounds legit. that's how my w15 lethal played out

[onyx flame]

did you fill in these fleets

[strong tartan]

I just recently got all my pr/dr8 ships to dev30 and im wondering if i should continue research and get another meck gun or go back to 7 and grab another la9, i have 1 copy of each 🐌

[rain bobcat]

2-3 meck gun then go back if you want

[little heart]

Ohhhhh thats what it meant, hey thanks bro

[strong tartan]

[eternal basalt]

August

[eternal basalt]

Eldridge retro has an inate hedgehog, so no

[keen flower]

does this mean i need 6 actual fleet for this event?

[eternal basalt]

No, 4 for SP, just 1 for EX

[keen flower]

fk i only have 2 fleet, can i farm d3 with 2?

[scarlet cosmos]

is there any reason to buy the fair winds cruise pass?

[eternal basalt]

To get the second row of rewards (ie. the skin and more)

[eternal basalt]

What d3?

[keen flower]

i mean whatever the equivelant of d3 here is, or is there none

[eternal basalt]

You already beat it, no?

[keen flower]

no i have not done the event

wait is there no event shop

[eternal basalt]

Oh, another guy... you can use one fleet, but it has reduced rewards

[keen flower]

how much should i farm this event, it feels like it has shit reward tbh

[sweet delta]

Musashi is full HP and the vanguard dies through Cowpens and Zuihou heals

[onyx flame]

mostly if you like the skin

[rain bobcat]

ye thats why you raff for escorts

[sweet delta]

I'll put Perseus

[clear spruce]

Can anyone recommend me fleets for the 14-4 hard world?

[brazen kettle]

Best way to lvl up low Level ships besides those books?

[civic prairie]

Next UR when?CNY?

[autumn yarrow]

was the angel feather rld?

[rancid echo]

can i farm in the windows of the heart only without progressing because i tried and the 1050 stays the same i tried like more then 10 times it stays 1050 o.o

[jagged scarab]

Hi! Which fleet is the fastest for farming? Like, fast fast.

[ruby knot]

I mean in which content?

[sturdy mountain]

Mine were
Mob: Raffaello, Volga, Unicorn retro, Laffey II, Eldridge retro, Momo
Boss: Musashi, Aquila, Independence retro, Z52, Shimanto, Trafalgar

Cowpens should work better than Volga unless it drops you to a lower ACV tier. I didn’t have her leveled up in time

[jagged scarab]

Hard 12-4 and 12-4 generally

[boreal merlin]

do u mean like farmin it fast time wise?

[jagged scarab]

Yeah

It takes 20 seconds each stage of hard

Too much imo, so i want to know if there's a fleet to do it it less than 10 seconds

[wind hazel]

hello what's the minmax fleet for this event

[proper violet]

Chp 14 boss fleet, is this ight or need bb? (Imagine anch maxed)

[wind hazel]

need bb

[proper violet]

Fdg good?

[wind hazel]

better on mob

but also works for boss

[proper violet]

Got musashi in mob fleet rn, cud be on boss

[late flame]

Why is anchorage lv50

[wind hazel]

ye can switch them

[proper violet]

Just got her like 10 min ago

[wind hazel]

also anchorage should main tank, kurumi off tank. better yet kurumi mob, let someone else boss

[proper violet]

Tohka boss also cowpens and quila switch

[wind hazel]

huh

[proper violet]

Nvm that independence switched out for the BB?

[wind hazel]

whats on your mob

[proper violet]

This is b4 switching around

[wind hazel]

fdg unicorn cowpens laffey sandiego kurumi
musashi lexii indep anchorage tohka +1

who else you got

[proper violet]

Hol on

Tings

Fdg gon be a while needa unlock her

[wind hazel]

easy fix, just use owari

[proper violet]

Amen

[wind hazel]

move sandiego to boss, put roon in

[proper violet]

So funny thing, roon got lvl 1 skills rn

[wind hazel]

[proper violet]

Lvl 120 xd

But all skills not maxed yet on all, as kinda new enuff to game

[wind hazel]

max it then attempt. you need level on anchorage anyway

[boreal merlin]

get ships with preloads + full cv fleet so you dont get that delay from bbs firing.

[jagged scarab]

Any team idea?

[proper violet]

Ight bet

[boreal merlin]

what are your ships?

[proper violet]

Like dis or how shud positioning be

[wind hazel]

anchorage main tank, sandiego middle

roon middle, kurumi off tank

[proper violet]

Xoxo ty

Then there is aux i know what to do with BB and cv I think

[wind hazel]

cruiser eva+torpedo bulge, dd double hp

[proper violet]

So haha what is a cruiser?

[wind hazel]

asw on laffey, unicorn

CB, CA, CL=cruisers

[proper violet]

On unicorn?

[wind hazel]

yes on unicorn

[proper violet]

I need alot of evasion then

[slow fox]

-# Should I start pushing fruit ration agenda for DD eHP

[wind hazel]

why do you need fast farm 12-4

[jagged scarab]

Waste less time

[proper violet]

What asw can I give unicorn?

[wind hazel]

fairey gannet or the one from guam event

[boreal merlin]

2nd one

[proper violet]

Dis one?

[wind hazel]

lion amagi akagimuse z52 shimakaze plymouth

[boreal merlin]

dang we thought of the same vanguard, but i was gonna say hinden instead of z52

[jagged scarab]

Ty. That's for hard too?

[proper violet]

In the case of milk girl, do we give her HP for more healing or just dmg?

[wind hazel]

i didnt check what's hard requirement, so adjust accordingly

[boreal merlin]

i was gonna say full cv fleet for main though

[wind hazel]

double catapult

[boreal merlin]

or 2 cv

[proper violet]

Ight dmg it is

[wind hazel]

the amagi is the CV, not the trash BC

[slow fox]

CVL + CV , CL + DD
BB/BC , CA

[proper violet]

Do I give sandy HPAR?

[slow fox]

-# MY AMAGI

[boreal merlin]

oh mb , u didnt specifty amagi cv

[wind hazel]

we dont talk about BC amagi here

[boreal merlin]

Catapult is both hp and dmg. Quite frankly its the best aux for carriers

[faint imp]

Is she still relevant for current content or nah? I got her just now, her skills don't seem too bad either. (she's also v pretty )

[wind hazel]

never was relevant

[faint imp]

oh

well at least she's pretty!

[wind hazel]

yeah pretty ||useless||

[faint imp]

brutal

[wind hazel]

can help with shipyard grinding i guess. not totally useless

[proper violet]

When is warspite viable?

[wind hazel]

when you're desperate for BB damage

[boreal merlin]

She is viable but if you are a beginner it's better to use your materials on other better ships like Owari

[faint imp]

She's another step to being able to get nakhimov at the end of the day, right?

[proper violet]

Yeah ok, got warspite retrofit and all, just needa lvl her and aug she lvl 99 alrdy

[faint imp]

I don't have owari

wait only that many points to get to research a really good ship? or is it because they're just not that common. bcs Kearsarge for exaple takes 1k tech points, and a lot of Iron Blood PR/DR ships are also between 700-1k

[wind hazel]

they arent common

[atomic abyss]

They are not that common

[faint imp]

I seeeee

[atomic abyss]

Can be painful to get that much outside their events

[jagged scarab]

Already built the team, ty guys

[faint imp]

can the S.P stages help with getting there? Or not much

[atomic abyss]

Certain ones can

/fleettech

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Fleet tech points are used for unlocking Shipyard ships and leveling faction tech stats.
Fleet tech stats are also given by most ships when you collect a new ship or level a ship to 120 for the first time.

Q: How do I get more fleet technology points?

• You get fleet tech points by:
• Collecting the ship (~20%)
• Max Limit Breaking it (~45%)
• Achieving level 120 (~35%)

-Higher rarity ships gives more fleet tech pts .
-Heavier ship hulls also gives more fleet tech pts: CV=BB>CA>CL>DD

Side notes:
-PR ships give more fleet tech pts than normal but follow the above formula with development 30 replacing MLB.
-META ships are considered a separate META faction. They give same bonuses as their non-META versions.
-Collab ships, Muse and little versions of ships e.g. Li'l Sandy, Clevelad and Lena etc do not give any fleet tech pts.
-Iron Blood faction ships receive double the normal tech points compared to other nations.

For more information and exact amounts, consult the wiki
You can also use this Fleet Tech Tracker by mrlar

[faint imp]

ooooh okay thank you!

[atomic abyss]

Wait wrong command

[faint imp]

This one also helps though!

[atomic abyss]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/fleet_technology/

More useful for this

[faint imp]

Oh! okay, just a matter of patience for the most part then

[faint imp]

How is the new SR Italian ship by the way seeing as I need Sardegna faction points? Is she worth actually using if I get her? Not just MLB and leaving?

[wind hazel]

useable

[faint imp]

neat!

[atomic vortex]

Should I prioritise hit or fp?

[undone plover]

for what hull

[proper violet]

For DD double HP what we thinkin? Repair kit ts?

[ivory sigil]

Please give her, she is the final key of whatever team is this i just made for defense pvp

-# (Hopefully neptune could improve some)

[ivory sigil]

Yeah, quickgear guide does recommend it as 4th best
do you have some 500HP aux item like pearl?

[wind hazel]

budget double toolkit.
better toolkit+hp aux with good effect

[proper violet]

I could prob get it somewhat fast

[proper violet]

Ight bet gotta check the gear list

To see what to work towards

[wind hazel]

most of the really good ones come from event

best permanent one is operation AF from shop

[proper violet]

AF?

[wind hazel]

/wiki operation af

[odd root]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Action_Report:_Operation_AF

[proper violet]

That one kinda dope

Shud I work on agir or fdg first?

[wind hazel]

agir

[proper violet]

Amen thought so

[late flame]

for w15 support fleet typical loadout looks like this?

[faint imp]

She’s my blue haired Russian ship

[late flame]

gotcha thank you
-# lucky bag cursed got me with fujinami *skin, so i'm finally getting off my arse to start w15

[crimson sand]

Hi i’m new,i just got Howe and i want to know with this line up she or bismark better.moreover, should i build she? Tysm:)

[ivory sigil]

May i kindly ask where is her pantie oops i mean where to get the 2 golden plane

[zenith heron]

Is it ok to skip said current event?

[zenith heron]

Gear Lab at the KMS Fighter section

Only use those for Ships within Support Fleets as because they only intercept and have no bombs on em

[late flame]

i peaced out of event once i got a copy of Ugolino lol

[zenith heron]

Good Enough for me then

[tulip tinsel]

ngl that whole thing looks cursed

[forest palm]

I spent like...2 ish hours an hit 60k

[crimson sand]

Yeah i know:)

[tulip tinsel]

More ships lack pantsu than you think

[late flame]

-# Schrödinger's cat pantsu

[analog tendon]

Which 2 aux should i use for Nelson between AFCT - Nelson's Pennant - White Shell?

[keen flower]

when is next event after this?

[ivory pawn]

Pennant + AFCT unless you need to not have the early first hit for timing reasons.

[ivory pawn]

Next month.

[trim depot]

is it worth leveling clarence

[rain bobcat]

no

in this era you only need 1 ARA vanguard and that is kazagumo

[ivory pawn]

+1 ASW

[trim depot]

shld I get her from the medal shop?

[ivory pawn]

She’s the top DD pick and one of the top picks in general, so yes.

[analog tendon]

What does ARA stand for?

[late flame]

air raid assistance

[rapid shard]

Yall run lance or greatsword on Guam?

[ivory pawn]

Always Greatsword.

[rapid shard]

But shes got 0 trp so wondering if it might be worth lance in her case

[late flame]

<@&472236072743600148>

[odd root]

member must be a mention or valid user id.

[molten violet]

[rain bobcat]

lance is pretty useless

[keen flower]

AL gameplay-help is the last place i thought i see shit like that
for leveling pr ships like st louis/ancho or fdg
whats the best way to level them up
level them at dev 0 or wait

[inland seal]

haiyo, what is the event currency milestone to stop farming after that?

[rapid shard]

Wait till bout dev20-25 if you dont want to drag dead weight along or just till 30 if no rush

[rain bobcat]

its quite common

[inland seal]

tyy

[ivory pawn]

Pin is wrong btw, it’s 30k/45k this time.

[inland seal]

aight 45k then, tyy

[late flame]

it kinda also depends on what you wanna get out of it
i'm broke af so i just peaced out at first copy of ship lul

[eternal basalt]

55k is books

[ivory pawn]

Yeah, so

[whole crypt]

basically just run greatsword on every CA/CB

[boreal merlin]

Statwise, should I get more than 2 lvl 10 SG Radar or nah

[keen flower]

can laffey 2 with no lb tank? i only have portland retro as a MT, st louis is dev 0
im on 11-3 but cant push cuz no vanguard

[late flame]

nope

[late flame]

why do you need more sg radars though?

[eternal basalt]

You don't

[boreal merlin]

Yeah thats why I said statwise

[turbid marsh]

for 11-3 i think 0lb laffey2 should be able to do it, as a boss fleet tank that is. i remembered that thing surviving 13-1 safe solo 0lb with heals at the back when she first came out

[keen flower]

sorry i meant 10-3 not 11-3

im trying to get to 11-1 for farming spot

should i make her boss or mob tank

[boreal merlin]

send ur ship dock

[keen flower]

st louis is ready to build, but i dont have money to do so

[boreal merlin]

whats ur current fleet

[keen flower]

kagerou and kazagumo are there cuz for numbers, from last event for dd torp req
dont have anything better to put

[boreal merlin]

kazagumo is an honest viable pick

you having problems with the boss node?

[keen flower]

mob, z23 doesnt have enough bulk even with uni + cowpens
il try again rn
might be bad rng

last time i had to fight 4 3* mob in a row

[boreal merlin]

remove laffey on mob fleet, add in portland mt, mid is kaza and offtank is z23. z23 cant main tank cause her destruction mode is unreliable

boss node u have a pretty good main fleet, the only thing u gotta do is for your front line to survive till boss spawns and u nuke it.

[keen flower]

ok, thanks

[boreal merlin]

kagerou should be relaced

but

[keen flower]

ye she's gone after i get st louis, just need the money to build her

[boreal merlin]

if u can get norfolk or have her (I cant tell if u have her since u only showcased elites higher ranks), put her in

[keen flower]

just any level? or need mlb

[boreal merlin]

shes a rare so material wise she is cheap

mlb

[keen flower]

ok

[boreal merlin]

if u have more resource go for indianapolis, ig? idk

[keen flower]

i just did it with that 2 fleet, yea its just bad rng
having to fight 3 3* battleship mob does massive damage
i have norfolk and indiana

prob just gonna get indiana

[boreal merlin]

u can reset the level by exiting and looking for a level with mob nodes with less than 3 star

[tulip tinsel]

indy is junk

[covert sierra]

from these 4 units who should i focus to MLB first?

[wind hazel]

either invest 4 bulin into chikuma or use and cope with laf2 mob tank

[analog tendon]

What type of armor have the ''enemy playable chars'' that we fight in mob nodes? The same as the playable version?

[wind hazel]

yes

[boreal merlin]

They are all good picks ngl. Want pure vanguard dps? Unzen. Want a tanky vanguard with good AA Laffey 2 or Guam, Need a USS buffer with a good AA also? Deporter. It'll really depend on what content you are gonna do.

Do you perchance have Juneau? @keen flower

[keen flower]

no i do not

[boreal merlin]

ow

[main thicket]

just got my first shipgirl (bismarck, not zwei) to 100 affinity, should I oath her or save the promise ring to oath a better shipgirl

[boreal merlin]

You like her?

Oath her then

The stats from oathing ships +3% is only really more effective on min maxing PVP and world 15+

[onyx flame]

oath who you like, if you oath for meta your gonna be buying a lot of rings

[undone plover]

It is 6% stat boost when they reach 200 aff

Check out some oath skins as well
Maybe that will influence your decision

Wiki should have them

[tulip tinsel]

I oathed a purple cl lol

[remote vigil]

Is she ass? I haven't seen anyone use her since she game out

[tulip tinsel]

Top heavy st dmg in 3 ijn team

[boreal merlin]

Yes ^

[remote vigil]

what is st dmg 💀

[undone plover]

She is probably the best anti heavy ship atm

[tulip tinsel]

Single target bosses

[remote vigil]

Oh okay, thanks

[undone plover]

Vs arizona meta

I even managed a 850k

[onyx flame]

she's also a ur cv in general so she help in campaign

[junior fractal]

haven't seen anyone use her is a wild statement to make

[wind hazel]

not entirely false to be honest

[remote vigil]

I mean I haven't. I'm in a casual guild, I clearly don't use her, and I haven't rlly seen her mentioned aside from when she came out. I've heard a lot more ab Oumi than Hakuhou.

[trim depot]

how do i quickly see the total fleet tech for factions besides the main 4 in the fleet tech tracker

[turbid marsh]

i mean hakuhou isn't used a lot thats for sure. doesn't mean shes weak. just a lot of other ships more suitable in general content thats all XD

[stark quiver]

shes weak
bbs killed her

[hollow gust]

Cause there is 0 need for absurdly high single target damage right now

[undone plover]

Can she solo the guild boss
Forgot to try her there

Maybe if u run 0 gear shinano and amagi

[wind hazel]

dont have guld boss to try

[undone plover]

Yeah my guild also finished the 2nd op 2 days ago

[keen flower]

only my bb get targeted by enemy bb right, then after CV are revealed they can be targeted?
so off flag solo bb will still get targeted first?

[ivory sigil]

huh i didnt realize i finish all event quest in 1st day
it's currently the 2nd day, i reach like 40k...
but the event is 2 weeks long?

[soft raft]

yuh

[keen flower]

not having shop sucks, makes the event feels shit to play

[vocal sigil]

the w14 guide gives this sub fleet to follow, would 404 be better than maggiore here?

[ivory sigil]

so whatelse to do? i dont wanna make my event pts surpass 55k-60k

back to spam campaign/WA ?

[clear harbor]

Farm campaign. 🎉

[onyx flame]

one of the ways is to go to shipyard and check the faction reqs there idk if there other ways

[tulip tinsel]

Back to w12 is Lowkey best choice as event rewards suck ass except chip and plate

[wraith pendant]

anyone knows why helena requires so much more exp than other ships to level ? It's like triple the amount of exp compared to other SSrs

[soft raft]

What

[wraith pendant]

she takes 158k to go from 99 to 100, where Hood needs 95k to go from 110 to 111

[soft raft]

That's just how the leveling system works
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Experience#Ship_XP

It's like this for all non URs

[keen flower]

100 -> 101 it drops

[wraith pendant]

ah thank you I understand 🙂

thresholds require more exp, gotcha

[peak fable]

how many points do you get daily in this event if you just do SP and quests?

[safe nexus]

the event currency (Camera Film) can be used to buy anything or just there for the milestone thing

[keen flower]

11-1 vs 12-1 is there a noticeable diff jump?

[peak fable]

yes, gigantic

oh wait

you said "difficulty", uhhh, it will be noticeable if you havent invested in any AA ships or AA guns

but you should be able to clear it fairly easily as soong as you have a few maxed out AA guns, preferably gold ones

[soft raft]

There is no event shop, only the pt milestones

[remote vigil]

What qualifies as an AA ship

[safe nexus]

ok ty

[soft raft]

mainly ships with high AA mount efficency %
I forget if ships can have mutliple AA like with MGM

[trim depot]

is wdp and laffey2 sufficient?

or do i still need to max my gold aa guns

[boreal merlin]

San Diego for example is the best Anti Air ship because high base AA stat 568 at 125/Retrofit, 185% AA gun efficiency. Increases Entire Fleet AA by 50% for 8 Seconds (15% Chance when she fire AA Gun), and increases her AA stat by 25%

Pre retrofit/augment she is ass though

But she fills her AA niche excellently

[peak fable]

I think there are only 2 distinctions:

• A ship with exceptionally high AA stats (including AA gun efficiency), usually that would be CLs
• A ship with a skill that majorly boosts her own AA capabilities or the AA of your entire fleet.

[tulip tinsel]

I think yes

[runic gorge]

Eh, the good AA dps ships don't have sky high base AA except for Sandy. AA dps consists of AA stat multiplier and the AA kit of the ship itself. A lot of high base AA ships actually have poor AA dps compared to the actual AA carries

Though for alkired's purpose, Laffii and WDP is more than enough

[peak fable]

meant to say that, but you are right to specify

[remote vigil]

I'm trying to build a fleet that I can use to progress in the campaign, which is why I ask. I heard w12 needs good aa.

[fiery raptor]

decent, not great i got by with +6 purple bofors

[peak fable]

you don't need anything crazy, just slap 6 +8-10 AA guns on your fleet and make sure they are at least lvl 100, you should be able to clear with any semi decent ship at that point

[fiery raptor]

w13 is when gold bofors and roombas start to matter

[hollow gust]

Meh

Just slap in 4-5 CVs and W13 is trivial

[fiery raptor]

my vanguard weren't even aa monsters either the my mob was noshiro laffey retro and reno and my bossing was portland retro shima and helena

yeah i went too hard on anti air and should have brought more damage

[boreal merlin]

SHIMAAAA

[vocal sigil]

once i finish building laffey and guam will this be able to auto 14-4?

[fiery raptor]

i think mobbing was illustrious ryuuhou and uni lol

[boreal merlin]

wish we have more sources of ur bulin

[runic gorge]

I just remember that there are like 10/11 ships that have AA dps beyond 2.5k per burst that we call AA carries and there are (lots of) ships just below that at 1.8k ish per burst and the rest are just sub 1k (most are half that). W12 doesn't need that much AA though yeah, just need good fighter coverage. I don't remember early W12 to be that hard

[remote vigil]

These are fine?

[fiery raptor]

i'd prefer sandy on mob and ply on boss

[hollow gust]

We get 2 bulins a month , not to mention event and cruise pass

[boreal merlin]

:(

[fiery raptor]

isn't 14-4 boss medium armor

[hollow gust]

Modern ships are ludicrously overpowered compared to w13

[vocal sigil]

I'll switch

[fiery raptor]

correct me isn't alsace an HE dispenser or am i treating her like richelieu again

[remote vigil]

I haven't even done w12 yet but that's good to know

[hollow gust]

She is busted as fuck in every armor type

[vocal sigil]

i tried to make them based on this https://renhex.github.io/alft/260, but I don't have shimanto or jeanne

[runic gorge]

Honestly the ships you're running is already good enough, just give them good AA gear like roombas or quad bofors and remember to enhance them

[remote vigil]

Tyvm

[runic gorge]

And mlb your laffii

[boreal merlin]

craft like 2 of these if u can (1 per fleet)

[hollow gust]

Your tanks go to the left btw , and I suggest you swap Alsace and NJ, NJ isn't as good at mobbing

[vocal sigil]

oh thanks

[remote vigil]

I'm still leveling her, I was just waiting to mlb in case I got the 2nd copy from the shop (I didn't)

[fiery raptor]

I ended up with 4 of those and 2 of the ur bofors for w15

[remote vigil]

I have plenty of UR bulins tho

[fiery raptor]

are sextuples still good enough for w16?

[peak fable]

it's like pulling up to a knife fight with a fully loaded t-90 tank

[hollow gust]

They are perfectly fine on your AA carries

[peak fable]

if your gear is leveled, nothing should be able to go wrong

[fiery raptor]

would the UR 76 be an overinvestment for the backline then from staag? That's a lot of UR blueprints I will burn through (and electronics)

for w16

[remote vigil]

Oh shit, I'll try clearing then

[hollow gust]

You want 76mm for basically everything , there is no reason not to craft like 6+

[fiery raptor]

[keen flower]

when do gold and UR print/mats from opsci start to drop? corruption level 5?

[boreal merlin]

Feels like its too much. You could be crafting something else. Like wyvern, spearfish, that twin bb gun i forgor the name with those electronics

[fiery raptor]

I have 8 wyverns from w15 fight i think i have enough

[hollow gust]

[boreal merlin]

though thats just me

[fiery raptor]

and i think same number of 457

[hollow gust]

76 is the best in slot AA gun for 95% of ships

[fiery raptor]

that's why i have the bp bank i was thinking to burn for 76

okay death to ur bp it is then

[boreal merlin]

dang that is a lot

[hollow gust]

You only need 2 457s, a spearfish for flex , and a few wyverns for your mob fleet

[fiery raptor]

i was scared as hell of w15 so i made wyverns for both fleets and the support fleet

[hollow gust]

Wyvern on support fleet is a scam

Not to mention some people favor Bruget over wyvern since it's faster

[runic gorge]

The UR 76s powercreep regular AA (high range and burst damage) and the STAAG at the same time so they're the only UR things worth having a lot of

[fiery raptor]

i think breguet became monthly after i cleared w15

and then w15 got nerfed lmao

feel the same anxiety for w16. waiting till i get gouden to 125 before i jump in this time

[boreal merlin]

interesting

[undone plover]

Might wanna jump in now while it is bugged

[boreal merlin]

is 2 ratgun and sextuple for each fleet good? or its better to go for 3 rat guns on each one

[hollow gust]

Most people don't use gouden , it's more important to stack air supremacy

[runic gorge]

It's best to go all ratgun tbh, sextuple only for sandy or something

[keen flower]

what is ratgun
why is it called that

[fiery raptor]

76

[boreal merlin]

ur 76mm

[fiery raptor]

it looka lika a ratt

[keen flower]

wtf it does

[boreal merlin]

lmao

[onyx flame]

450 from daily mission
800 from sp
420 from one run of hard (cant rmb if its need or not)
another 300 from 3x build if you do those

[runic gorge]

420 is from coalition iirc

[undone plover]

Yeah it is 360 otherwise

[white agate]

idk, i wamted to call it raccoon gun

[runic gorge]

I actually only heard ratgun today lol, before this I heard catgun and froggun

[keen flower]

i just knew that summons can block ships, i just had laffey 2 summon block 4 suicide boat to a standstill for like 4 sec

is that laffey only or all summon

[boreal merlin]

PvPeeps call it rat gun on their excel

all summon

Kurumi clone can block suicide boats

[runic gorge]

So can momo's plants

[keen flower]

for hard mode 3* mission for prints do i have to 100%?

or one clear enough by doing one full clear then go in clear mobs retreat

[boreal merlin]

Hm?

ohh 3 starring hard level

[keen flower]

these ones

[fiery raptor]

Are people running Cowpens in preference to Uni in 16? I saw one fleet with Uni but more fleets with Cowpens why is that? Targeted Heal?

[runic gorge]

No need for 100%, I did that for W9 hard mode and it worked

[hollow gust]

Cause DDs op, thus Cowpen , who has good dps + % of her HP heal is very good

[keen flower]

is there a way to give mvp to vanguard for vanguard shipyard farming?
im farming for ancho soon

[fiery raptor]

If Lafii, WDP and Z52 all on mob, would the boss fleet still run any dd or just ca/cl?

[onyx flame]

there is but it requires you to super gimp you backliner while jucing your vanguard

[boreal merlin]

u gotta remove main fleet equip so that vanguard has more chance to mvp

[fiery raptor]

put a potato in 1:3 backline like a monitor or a shit dps healer like shouhou

portkai with good gear should mvp often enough if not laffey retro

[runic gorge]

I didn't ran any DDs in the boss fleet for W16 lol, I've also seen a lot of comps where people just forego using UR DDs there

Meant in the boss fleet, mb

[boreal merlin]

Has Aquila fallen out of favor because of Cowpens?

[fiery raptor]

i see them together

targeted MEGAheal

[runic gorge]

Aquila's better at healing backline so she still sees use, even in W16

Hell, the mob pressure in W16 is higher on the backline so she gets comboed with Cowpens

[boreal merlin]

I see

[keen flower]

for this lex 2 skills, what ships can fulfill the AA debuff for 0 spd part

[fiery raptor]

WDP and Laffii iirc

[runic gorge]

York2 also does the job

[undone plover]

Trafalger also

[peak fable]

got it, 2k per day, for 2 weeks... so 28k, if I do nothing extra. Well, I guess I do want the plates so I'll be farming.

[onyx flame]

wdp doesnt but york2, laff2 and traf are the usual pick

[undone plover]

A single 5x run can give u 2k tokens
Can just farm it all today

[boreal merlin]

u said u wanted fast clears, akamuse decreases her first loading time by 40%

akamuse will strike first then after that amagi cv, this will prevent overkilling with air strikes

[jagged scarab]

Oh, tyty

[eager mulch]

||||

[ocean fiber]

Question but what or and Dr ships are considered aboustly noe

[knotty jolt]

Can you rephrase that please?

[ocean fiber]

Which pr or Dr ships aren’t meta relevant anymore

[undone plover]

Insert cheeky tierlist here

[knotty jolt]

Ah, most tbh. The DRs are fairly still relevant but the gold PRs not so much with few selection

[ocean fiber]

May I ask who

[knotty jolt]

Anchorage being one good gold PR

[tulip tinsel]

shimanto good too

[hollow gust]

Anchor , Shimanto , Bayard

[knotty jolt]

Technically ibuki has one but it's so niche for Opsi that idk if i should include her

[tulip tinsel]

what she do

[ocean fiber]

So ibuki is strong?

[knotty jolt]

Fast clears with double pre loaded torps

iirc with augment she does outshine unzen momentarily but after abit unzen still wins

[knotty jolt]

only in operation siren which isn't that grand

[ocean fiber]

Ok how about Haku

[knotty jolt]

Haku has been power crept sadly

[ocean fiber]

Severely?

[knotty jolt]

i think severely

[calm fiber]

Which one should i mlb first

[knotty jolt]

is that all URs? Also how many bulins can you get atm?

[ocean fiber]

But she’s still goods heavy Adam he aircraft carrier right

[calm fiber]

I have few bulin but i can buy some brb

[knotty jolt]

if you don't got the better stuff she's decent enough but cause of the new stuff not worth the investment anymore imo

[tulip tinsel]

i'd say lex2 and wait for feb ur

[calm fiber]

Who gonna be the next ur in feb then

[knotty jolt]

We don't know yet

[calm fiber]

Well atleats i know my cube gonna be drain

[tulip tinsel]

who knows she might throw atomic bombs at enemy and powercreep lion

[calm fiber]

So keep for now then or mlb some

[knotty jolt]

alot of new players cubes have been down the shitter with 3 URs back to back each month tbh

I'd say mlb lexi2 like advised before then wait for febuary

[calm fiber]

I just back to the game since off in 2023

[white agate]

no

don't touch my lion

[faint glacier]

whats a good number of cubes to save up to be safe? ofc more is better but, generally

[tulip tinsel]

400

[ocean fiber]

Alright whys the best new haveay damage aircraft carrier then

[calm fiber]

162 and a dream for me

[tulip tinsel]

hakuhou

[knotty jolt]

Hakuhou aka the cooler haku

[white agate]

400 if you are caught up
600 or more if not caught up

[soft raft]

At least 400 since that's the required for pity in the worst case scenario where your luck is absolutely abysmal

[ocean fiber]

Tiahou sister is better than Haku?

[knotty jolt]

She can launch 7 torpedo bombers I'd say thats alot of heavy armor busting

[calm fiber]

Does yall have good loadout for lexi2

[tulip tinsel]

against what

[calm fiber]

Is there like general use loadout or somethin

[onyx flame]

there no such thing, your gear is tailor to what your tackling

[calm fiber]

Huh i see, guess i go messing around and find out

[onyx flame]

do read the disclaimers and stuff
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

[faint glacier]

caught up as in..?

[white agate]

as in you don't give a shit about events reruns anymore since you already played all the events in the last 2 years

[ocean fiber]

Ok who’s the best modern crusier to have now

[onyx flame]

[ocean fiber]

For pr or Dr

[knotty jolt]

gouden leeuw imo

[onyx flame]

it depends what you need it for thou cause like gouden and ply are both good but they do different things

[knotty jolt]

I mean for chapter clearing which is usually a high priority she's strong

[onyx flame]

[ocean fiber]

Is it bad people use ancrhage or agair in 2026

[copper glacier]

Laffey II is a tank, right? She goes on the left in the vangard?

[proper violet]

Agir dope af

Anch got cool evasion tech

[copper glacier]

Is it worth it to spend all of my UR gear design plans on the Twin 100mm 98 Kai gun in the gear lab? I'd be putting this gun on Laffey II.

[fiery raptor]

it's a good gun for laffii yes

[tulip tinsel]

what other ur gear you have as it can change prio

[copper glacier]

And grinding OpSi is the only way to get more of those UR plans, right? If I've bought all of the ones in the OpSi shop can I get more through random drops?

[copper glacier]

In general or currently equipped to Laffey II?

[tulip tinsel]

every ur gear

[fiery raptor]

In general

[copper glacier]

Just a sec! I will show

[fiery raptor]

like 457 tenrai and 76mm twin

[copper glacier]

Dats all I got

[fiery raptor]

100 kai is a lower prio then

laffii is fine with the core exchange tash gun

130mm BM

[copper glacier]

Are there any battles that she wouldn't be able to do with the 130mm BM?

[fiery raptor]

no? just a bit less coverage in w15 and w16

in aa that is

[copper glacier]

Okidoki. Honestly, I'm still on chapter 12-4 lol.

[fiery raptor]

it can wait. My 100 kais were made specifically for w15 so it can wait

[copper glacier]

Ok. I thought I asked before but upon doing a search I couldn't find my previous post so I will ask again.

Can someone explain to me how to use the loadout for gear? I'm confused.

[onyx flame]

Dont buy it with core, its craftable now

Or just make z46 gun from gearlab their like basically the same

[copper glacier]

I was just trying to look for it in the core shop and didn't see it. 😅

[onyx flame]

If you dont want to think too hard about gearing just use this https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/
Just make sure to give the disclaimers a quick read and cross check with the gearlab guide (also in the website)

But the first ur that should be crafted from gearlab should be a wyvern at least

[uneven knot]

is there any point to grinding this event out or is my oil best spent elsewhere?

[tulip tinsel]

Ideal farming thresholds are:
30k (good stopping point)
55k (last relevant rewards)

You shouldn't farm past 55k unless you are crazy. Go back to other permanent stages.

[twilit wren]

Hi which URs should i finish upgrading first

[copper glacier]

My vote is for I-404

[ivory pawn]

How many more bulins can you get currently?

[copper glacier]

And Laffey II

[stark quiver]

Are two rainbow skill books really that relevant

[tulip tinsel]

i just copied pins

[ivory pawn]

Two red? Yes.
Two blue? 🚮

[twilit wren]

3

[viscid swift]

Lexington 2 next

[twilit wren]

William doesnt seem as good as the others

[ivory pawn]

But yeah pins were probably copy/pasted from other events and not adjusted. 45k is last gold plates.

[stark quiver]

@vale spindle yo bro

[uneven jewel]

I forgot to check before running it, how many points does SP give per day?

[stoic horizon]

800 if I remember right

[uneven jewel]

Ah got it. So same as normal event SPs. Thank you!

[vale spindle]

isn't thjere like rainbow skill books at 55k

i just added a middle one for 45k

[stark quiver]

theres rainbow book, but its worth is questionable

[white agate]

tbh getting to 45k this event is so cheap and fast i have no issue, for the ur book tho idc

@stark quiver wait, is the actual event any good to farm affinity in solo battle?

[stark quiver]

Uhh idk
I just know sub affinity good

Perhaps it is
If you forgo points

[forest palm]

yes these type of events are good for sub affection farming

[cobalt gate]

so basically to farm sub affinity, you use a low oil fleet and just rely on the subs you farming affinity to do damage

[forest palm]

not like this event is difficult by any measure, there certainly isn't any "carrying" that needs to be done

[cobalt gate]

i mean its mostly that the event has enemy subs is whats annoying. seriously give us more hedgehog if they wnat to do it like that

[sweet delta]

Rainbow book is worth for people with 4 skill training slots

[novel solstice]

Even with three training slots, I find them helpful; each time we get an "instant training" event I burn through all of my rainbow books and enough of my 8-hour books that I need to start crunching the shorter ones together to make more of the 8-hour ones. I am obsessively trying to level every girl to 120 though, so I do have a lot of ships that could use some skillz.

[tame pivot]

Who should be on the top and who should be on the bottom btw?

[olive geyser]

how is the score on the event calculated?

[sweet delta]

Flasher middle, Archer top, 404 bottom

[sweet delta]

Previous coalition event EXs have been scored on the time to win and the number of your ships (including subs) who sank

[tame pivot]

Have a loadout recommendations for Flasher and Archer? im swapping out my U-81 and U-96 for the two

[knotty jolt]

Snorkels + hull with mix of either bidders and g7es if ya lazy or type 95ks and g7ek for bossing

[mint sedge]

Hey! I'd like to ask for your advice on good gear for Enty's, since Kearserge and Yorktown do more damage than her, and in theory, they should buff her.
I'm about to finish Operation Siren and was planning to make the Tigger Cat from Gearlab, so I'm not sure what to put in the Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber sections for CH14+.
I started in October, so I don't have many resources to craft in Gearlab since this is my first clean Operation Siren, but I do have a lot of cores and yellow boxes to open. Thx!

[knotty jolt]

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

I'll tell ya atleast to not spend more gold plates on those gear as there are better options then them, at the very least they're salvagable by crafting them to get the plate refunds

[tame pivot]

Gotten all setup now, thnx 👌

btw, how much better is this sub fleet than my old one with I-404, U-81 and U-96 with their unique augments?

[fleet marten]

Any relevancy to do said event?

[knotty jolt]

Some, cause of milestone rewards

Gold plates are gold plates mightaswell grab them

[fleet marten]

so its safe to skip? if done with them?

[knotty jolt]

if ya reach 45k points then ya can stop

[mint sedge]

I see in that link that the Flapjack (which I can now craft) is better than the Tiger Cat? And in Dive Bomber, is a Helldiver better for clearing chapters of the main story?

[knotty jolt]

yes

[mint sedge]

And do they also work in OS? When clearing stages?

[knotty jolt]

yes

[mint sedge]

Thx! y have all except the rainbow

[tame pivot]

btw, about how many gold plates is it to +13 one piece of gear? i've only done two before and its been a while. Just heard that for Chapter 16 you really want the best gear you can use

This is what I have as far as gold plates

[ivory pawn]

/plus13

[odd root]

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/images/equip_misc/%2B13_Priority.jpeg

[ivory pawn]

360 for rainbow, 120 for gold.

Also you can +13 in one press nowadays, so you can see how much you need by looking at any gear.

[tame pivot]

Ahhh, been a while since I've made a +13 so didnt realize

[wintry apex]

is pamiat a better tank then portland

[ivory pawn]

It is pretty new, like a month old ish?

[wintry apex]

both probably aren't great

[ivory pawn]

From Mebot's sheet:

[rain vine]

no

[ivory pawn]

(Portland is 100%)

[wintry apex]

ah ok

where could I see this sheet

ahhh found it

[stark quiver]

You don’t need to +13 for w16 but it’ll help
I wouldn’t enhance stuff just for campaign

[wintry apex]

why are there so many pages on the mebot sheet

and what do any of them mean 😭

[knotty jolt]

There's alot of ships

And they account for all of them

[fleet marten]

For BB shells example the Champagne Gun vs the Mecklenburg Gun

when a certain shell crits, is it per volley or per shell that hits said target?

Bcs if its per Shell, the Meck Gun can possibly be better for getting a crit than a Champy gun due to the number of Shell difference fired?

[rain bobcat]

meck gun has noticeably more dmg regardless so idk why that would matter

[wintry apex]

mainly wondering what all the stats mean lmao

and the difference between the tabs etc

[echo nexus]

would it be better to mlb shimakaze or yorktown first? they’re the last ones i dont have done in the ur exchange

[viscid swift]

do you have Implacable

anyway, between the 2 Yorktown 2 first

[echo nexus]

i have every ur except for soyuz

[echo nexus]

okie dokie, tyy

[viscid swift]

<@&460646206851252224>

[stark quiver]

And the /plus13 thing is kinda bullshit because you wanna +13 for bossing content you’re doing, whatever it may be, for example if you are close to one shotting a boss such as this current meta for example, you might look at +13 raff gun and la9s

[echo nexus]

what would also be the best way to distribute 24 rainbow bulins? been sitting on a ton of resources for a while so im thinking i should finally go ahead and use some of it
i’ll probably save some for soyuz but thats about it

[soft raft]

Why did you censor some of them 💀

[viscid swift]

Laffey 2, Porter, Raff, Lexington 2, is how I'd go

[echo nexus]

because they’re already being done 😭

[echo nexus]

alright, i’ll do them then, tyy

[undone plover]

it is still good to know what u have done
it might influence who to mlb

[ivory sigil]

does a leveled cat keep its [Skill Level]'s EXP to the feeded cat?

[echo nexus]

everyone not in the pic is mlb, apart from soyuz who i dont own, shima+yorktown since they’re exchangeable, and the urs from pr 6-8 who i haven’t finished, minus nakhimov who’s reeeally close to being done

[zenith heron]

||if they probably made a UR IJN CV that does freeze with IJN ships like Nakh to Soyuz and Lex 2 to USS, that should make Implacable Transitional? ||

[silent zodiac]

There is no daily bonus for doing each event mission right? I should just be doing the highest I can for event progression?

[soft raft]

correct

[silent zodiac]

Thanks

[little heart]

Guys, how do I defeat this bitch and why does it keep healing itself. How is that even fair

[hollow gust]

[ivory pawn]

You can scan the enemy on the map to see her skills - one of them is probably what's causing the heal.

[hollow gust]

Use better ships

[ivory pawn]

If it's troublesome, I assume it's the one that's healing her when she reaches 30% HP.

[viscid swift]

just out damage the heal

[ivory pawn]

Unfortunately, the only counter is to do more damage.

[hollow gust]

Is that a neptunia ship

[little heart]

Ya

[viscid swift]

might be

it goes without saying but that fleet is bad

[hollow gust]

All of them were shit , even for 2018-2019 meta

[little heart]

I know, its just I have 4 fleets abd all of them Delt a lot of damage, the boss fleet was down to just x4 health

That last fleet, which you are seeing now, is really bad

[viscid swift]

if you have anything close to max adapts a good boss fleet should be able to kill an arbiter on its own

[brave canyon]

The cat passes its exp at a 80% rate when fed, 90% if it’s the same cat

Idk what you mean by skill level

[soft raft]

The main thing is you have to out-DPS that heal

[ivory sigil]

I was asking the opposite, like feeding lv30 SR cat Lv3skill to a Lv1 SR lv1skill same dupe cat, does its Level skill retain its EXP

[brave canyon]

I don’t think so

[ivory sigil]

i see

so i should keep all the dupe cat until the perfect cat, instead of using them for a weak skill cat

[wind hazel]

as long as you have the space for it, keep a few dupes

[hollow plank]

doe sanyone have a quick guide or tips on cat officers? I read the cat guide but i'm sitll a bit lost as to who is best to keep for those cats that come in the golden boxes

and what skills to look out for in general. Thank you!

[wind hazel]

3 main cats category. bb, cv, sub

flame+soulful+fp talents for bb
flame+ace+rld/avi talents for cv
flame+alpha+rld/trp talents for sub

flame+mountain+fp/avi for campaign cats

related to bb include antenna, lime, oscar, every, drake. last 2 are tempesta cats
related to cv include bishamaru, jiro, eagle, teach. teach is tempesta cat
related to sub include steel, edelweiss, gral

[hollow plank]

Thank you so much @wind hazel !

[fiery raptor]

who would peope say is the best BB for bossing in w16 if i'm using Musashi for Mobbing?

or iirc people were doing a recon/cv bb split

Raffaello?

I'm thinking between BisZ and Soyuz

@me if someone can clarify for me thx

[rain bobcat]

run USS triple CV instead

otherwise probably soyuz

[fiery raptor]

Yorkii Lexii Essex Retro?

[eager mulch]

Implacable perma next update?

[soft raft]

Yuh

[zealous bough]

anyone know when Strasbourg comesback?

[soft raft]

Short answer: No
Long answer:

[sick kettle]

the new italian bb worth getting?

[soft raft]

Collection tier, especially if you have less than 400 cubes
Not having a 100% proc chance for her barrage is a instant snooze

[rapid shard]

Between Yk2 and Implac who's gonna be higher prio from perm now?

[tropic tusk]

implacable is good on 15 boss , yk2 is good on light

so its up to u on who u want

[soft raft]

W15 boss? What

I mostly see her relegated to support fleet

[rain bobcat]

implac is mid

support fleet/not willing to gamble formidable tier

[viscid swift]

depends on your set up but overall I prefered Raff

[viscid swift]

btw Blaster we know Zero to Hero is the next rerun

[soft raft]

Ah yeah
hadn't inclued notes like that for a while since it would fuck up the formatting but I just figured out a workaround

There we go

[random ice]

Good day. This may be skill issue on my side, but I'm still a newbie and I can't understand the gear guide provide by the bot so may I ask, what gears should I look out for that can help me progress through campaign? I'm at chapter 6

[viscid swift]

what gear guide? sam's?

[random ice]

The 2 provided by the bot.

[viscid swift]

uh, it really doesn't get much simpler than the Quick Gear Guide

[random ice]

Ow.. maybe I am just looking at the wrong guide. Let me have a look again

[soft raft]

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

[cobalt gate]

is there any ship to replace agir for more tankiness for witcha?

[viscid swift]

Napoli

[soft raft]

Wouldn't Lion be better as Flag instead of Alsace

[cobalt gate]

lion isn't oathed so she only gets 1 shot off at the end instead of full

[rapid shard]

Is your VG dying? Im running basically the same just Tohka instead of Ply and they survive full fight 99% of the time

[viscid swift]

why isn't she running the Lion gun

[cobalt gate]

yeah vanguard dies at like last 3 sec sometimes if elderige proc rng bad

tohka?

[viscid swift]

could also try a 3 strike set up

[hollow gust]

I def don't remember that tanky of a frontline to be needed

[rapid shard]

Tohka is one of the Date A Live collab units. Very similar to Bayard

[cobalt gate]

you mean the 2nd gun?

[viscid swift]

yes

[cobalt gate]

hmm i'm not sure why i ididn't let me try then

although i think my issue is still vangaurd dying

[viscid swift]

I reiterate

[rapid shard]

Unironicly you could throw pearl on Eldridge as second HP aux and that will keep her alive for those extra few secs when rng is bad

[stark quiver]

i lived with z52, aurora, eld

[hollow gust]

Why not just use eagle comp

[rapid shard]

Thought aurora didnt work on Wichita @stark quiver ?

[hollow gust]

Unironically a eagle faction fleet would be busted as fuck

[cobalt gate]

why pearl? i have uss repair and goldburn. hmm would pearl be better

[viscid swift]

she doesn't

[hollow plank]

Hello! In the prize shop of the mini arcades, is there like a mini score i need to reach to maximize tickets given? Or can i just like lose on purpose and use the credits? XD

[stark quiver]

nah fam

[stark quiver]

she was fine for me

[rapid shard]

Damage control manjuu aux not peral. My mistake the secondary item effect is nice in meta fights where you die in last couple sec

[cobalt gate]

should i use anchormage instead i guess?

[rain bobcat]

wichita is CA

[viscid swift]

again, why not try a 3 strike set up

[stark quiver]

she is?
i one shotted either way

[cobalt gate]

whats that

[viscid swift]

don't need to worry about living as wel of you just kill sooner

[hollow gust]

, my porter wasn't ready so have to deal with Traffy

[viscid swift]

Lexington and Yorktown 2 mainly

[stark quiver]

bruh

[cobalt gate]

haven't really tried lexington built this before she was out

[stark quiver]

so youre telling me, i didnt even need aurora

[rapid shard]

Shes dead weight lol

[stark quiver]

bro 💀

[cobalt gate]

wait no kama?

[stark quiver]

kama?

[cobalt gate]

kaza

[stark quiver]

for me?

theres no point for me to run her

[cobalt gate]

oh wait who else has air assistnace

[hollow gust]

Even 3 shot is overkill

[stark quiver]

kearsarge

[cobalt gate]

oh

so i only have 4 hvar though

[hollow gust]

It doesn't really matter what kearsarge runs

[rain bobcat]

ur setup is specifically 3 strike so I doubt it wouldn't be

4 strike setup idk if it kills in 3 strikes

[hollow gust]

Yorktown 1st slot be easily sacrificed too

[cobalt gate]

ss of equipment? also i'm wondering for my current build if i do anchormage would It be better for vanguard survival?

[stark quiver]

i use this and it one shots perfectly finwe

[cobalt gate]

wait no elderidge

[stark quiver]

replace aurora with eld
and wdp mid

[rain bobcat]

the 4 strike setup I haven't used since lexi release

light boss where

[soft raft]

lol

[rain bobcat]

I did like 1 run of wichita and said "cool lexi is decent" and left

[stark quiver]

i use lex a lot

[cobalt gate]

so kearage uses 406 instead of lion gun?

[stark quiver]

well yes
thats kinda the point of kear

[cobalt gate]

oh wait yeah the uss gun thing nvm

[soft raft]

HE Yamato gun

[cobalt gate]

i'll try it later thanks, also whats the yorktown meta team now?

[runic gorge]

There's a few comps for york meta including 4 salvo BBs but the more intuitive one is probably the 3 strike Soyuz Nakhi Fritz using La-9s

[rain bobcat]

"intuitive"3strike sonaru needs 3-4 la-9s at +13 especially without momo

[trim depot]

can I just use any rare or elite cat as exp packs

I shld only worry about sr ones right?

[cobalt gate]

yeah rares are kinda useless

elite you would need a purple for sub and pure cv fleets if you want to build it

cv might not need to anymore with blackbeard, but not sure

[keen flower]

Where do I get Aug mats? I want to get both st Louis and Sara augment but I only have mats and XP for one
Also which one should I get first

[rapid shard]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules

Use this to see value of augments and which give most benefit

[cursive sky]

I pulled Lützow and Prinz Adalbert, are they any good?

[wind hazel]

nothing special

[bright wind]

Is there a way to help make my way to level 60 that doesn't solely rely on sorties?

Or at least, increase the XP I gain from sorties?

[onyx flame]

Run oil capped stages so you can earn more cmd exp per oil, also run all 6 ships and score s ranks in battles

You can prob just grind the current event in solo mode to use 1 fleet

[cobalt gate]

i mean oil cap is chap 9 though so not possible? probably event i think

[slow fox]

I know the perfect person to ask about this

[bright wind]

Well shit

[cobalt gate]

i would say do event 1st currently

[keen flower]

do lower level ships take more damage from enemy or is it just your ships damage thats gutted

[viscid swift]

Yes

[onyx flame]

Just grind the event first once you hit the amount needed for points milestone you prob be high enuf in cmd level.
If it still isnt enuf do passionate polaris in war archive

[opaque galleon]

You got 5 bucks?

[keen flower]

as somebody who dislikes spending money on video games, i can say that that 5$ pack
to get to level 70 command xp is the most worthwhile pack in gacha games
it gets you to be able to go to 9-1 for oil cap to one fleet it, hard mode event require ships to fulfill reqs,
if its something you cant do you are screwed out of oil cap

[tropic tusk]

yea but ur not going to understand alot of things

[onyx flame]

Their alr at cmd lvl 50 at least imo it aint worth as much anymore

[keen flower]

wait why doesnt this reset?

[tropic tusk]

reset daily 1 time

[knotty jolt]

Have you been playing since the reset?

If so might be a desync issue if you haven't used this daily resets usages

[wind hazel]

it's 4 hours from reset

so wait another 3hours 55mins.

why? ask the dev. it's stupid timing

[knotty jolt]

4 hour gap between dev reset and other reset

[keen flower]

thats prob the most unusual thing i've seen in term of time/reset

[wind hazel]

it is yeah

[broken kayak]

don't forget seasonal ingredients reset

[wind hazel]

what's that, can i eat it

[cloud panther]

da shrooms

[zenith heron]

[dusk maple]

what are the higest dps med and heavy armour fleets currently?

[scarlet cosmos]

Is there anyway to make hindenburg work in w16

[rain bobcat]

lion meck zwei

[wind hazel]

manual gaming

[dusk maple]

for both med & heavy? not any of the CV fleets?

[wind hazel]

if you trust this guy

[rapid shard]

Whats the difference between the meckbislion setups on right and left side?

[woven star]

Weapons

[dusk maple]

right is heavy armour dps, left is medium dps, weapon should be the same, her signature gun

[sick kettle]

so what are the priority mlb order, I've also got 16k spec-cores in stash

[woven star]

If you don't have meck gun there's some med/heavy alternative gun. And they way different

[wind hazel]

are these all your ur or there are mlb ones? if yes show them all

[versed forum]

is it safe to pick Yorktown 2 over HMS Vanguard from perm?

[sick kettle]

these are all the non mlbs

[wind hazel]

brother please show them all

[sick kettle]

wait

[wind hazel]

yes

not only safe, but recommended to do so

for you at least

[versed forum]

Soyuz rerun when?

[wind hazel]

soon

[scarlet cosmos]

any idea how to get prints for this?

[wind hazel]

musashi lexii laffii

save the rest for new UR then ask again

[late flame]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/equips?term=pie

[wind hazel]

dont craft breguet in GL

[sweet delta]

But that's highest DPS in 80s

[scarlet cosmos]

Ty

[scarlet cosmos]

Where should i get them then?

[late flame]

shop

[scarlet cosmos]

Also, is it best to equip Hindenburg with 1 AP, and 1 HE? Or just double AP

[scarlet cosmos]

Oh i see its in core

[wind hazel]

double ap

[scarlet cosmos]

Okay!

Also, I have one wyvern… between unicorn and cowpens, who should I put it on?

[wind hazel]

it's whatever. the other will be using breguet, basically budget wyvern. whichever that give you nicer stagger

[trim depot]

3 starring war archive stages does nothing right

[onyx flame]

it waste oils and keys

[trim depot]

okok

[tulip tinsel]

does uncap price change when i retrofit a ship

like chip price

[oblique mortar]

whats that one google spreadsheet document with all the azur lane ships ranked? well, not necessarily "ranked" more like given a letter from F to SS or smth on how well they perform in certain portions of the game

[lofty thistle]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[oblique mortar]

thanksssss

[lofty thistle]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[rapid shard]

Would a Dev25 Kear work with Lex2 Yk2 light setup?

[wind hazel]

no

[gilded carbon]

I have enough currency to have 8 UR Bulins. 4 may be reserved for february, so i can MLB one UR before that. William D, Laffey 2 or Lex 2 are my current options

Lex 2 suffers from my lack of, plainly, no YK2 or Kear. And given i lack more good Vanguards, William D. or Laffey 2 may be btter choices

[onyx flame]

i would say laff2 but that also depends on the rest of your ur collections, like if you got no ur cvs lexi2 would still be better

[gilded carbon]

I have strong UR CVs. Several, really. And some strong UR BBs too.
Im lacking a bit in stronger Vanguards, wich is the reason i thought of the two UR-DDs first.

[mild tiger]

I have William D. But still lvl. 1. Should i upgrade her?

[onyx flame]

then might as well do laff2 thou it would be better next time to send a pic of all the urs you have so we can give recos with full info

[onyx flame]

unless you can mlb her and dont have any other higher prio urs that need the bulins prob not

[mild tiger]

Aight, thanks

[gilded carbon]

Lex 2 and Vanguard, among the lvled ones, arent MLB. The Rest is. Vanguard though is currently the focus when i get a pity-UR from the Gacha

[tulip tinsel]

i'd mlb laf2 and rest for feb ur

[forest temple]

Hey guys, can I have an MLB order for these ships (also i have no idea what content i want to clear, i just want to make my account generally better)

[tulip tinsel]

lion

[forest temple]

after lion? i got like, 2 bulins + 44k cores to spend on bulins as well

[gilded carbon]

what makes Laff2 better then William D.?

[tulip tinsel]

different purposes

laffey2 tank willy boss fleet

[late flame]

-# also laff2 pvp meta

[gilded carbon]

ok? But i have Tanks. Anchorage, Ägir and others. A good Boss-Fleet-Vanguard sounds more useful?

[wind hazel]

lion fritz, then wait feb ur then ask again

[gilded carbon]

slowly printing Bulins you mean

[wind hazel]

actually throw traf in as well, you have enough

[forest temple]

Oh alright, thanks guys

[gilded carbon]

currently, my Boss-vanguard is Anchorage and Helena and whoever does dmg?

[forest temple]

yeah i have enough, i got 13 ur bulins to burn

[late flame]

is there any w16 guide out yet?

[wind hazel]

clearing fleet there's plenty

[turbid marsh]

they fixed airport yet?

[summer patio]

I don't get why it doesn't let me play

[late flame]

Need s fleet2

[trim depot]

do enemy bbs target the lowest hp ship

istg they only hit my low level ships

[elder parcel]

the material for Essex's retrofit is from an limited event, just like Yuudachi's back then?

[tulip tinsel]

unobtainable rn, wait for august

[elder parcel]

aight, thank you

[wind hazel]

no, mostly position, or might be because due to low level, and they are receiving more dmg compared to higher level ship, so the difference makes it more noticable

[wintry apex]

i think i found the perfect person to ask too

[keen flower]

for st louis what HE gun she want? is there any gold non research thats good

[wind hazel]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/equips/id/33040

from techbox

gear lab has some upgrade as well but ultimately your louis isn't even dev30, so it's kinda pointless. and she's also a very transitional ship that doesn't scale well

[turbid marsh]

im not too sure what to comment, i guess probably read better or obey what the instruction is next time

[soft raft]

It does say "Multiple fleets" after all so....

[late flame]

ezpz

[small quarry]

I saw a player JP mention that, I don't have TEMPESTA, sometimes I like to comment, but there are a lot of annoying people here. Thanks for replying.

[whole crypt]

if you don't have frigates you can also use stuff like BBVs and munitions ships

[wind hazel]

or just use different hull and complete it in a few tries

[woeful zodiac]

Hi, question for yall in the shipyard it says skin projection does it do anything when you complete it?

[whole crypt]

or that yeh, just rotate members and use different hull classes each time

[wind hazel]

cv+dd
bb+ca

this can complete all the mission. 2 rounds

[whole crypt]

skin projection allows you to unlock "dupes" for research ship to set multiple secretaries with different skins that's all

[woeful zodiac]

Ok thank you

[late flame]

+you need to buy the skins

[elfin hollow]

Guys can you reccomend me ways to get more cubes because ever since the event started i have not got any of the event ships outside of milestone one. and i dont want to lose opportunity to get them

[hollow plank]

Hello! In the prize shop of the mini arcades, is there like a mini score i need to reach to maximize tickets given? Or can i just like lose on purpose and use the credits? XD

[soft raft]

This banner is not worth it dawg, how many cubes do you even have? If it's less than 400, you're better off saving for the highly likely new UR in late Febuary

[elfin hollow]

0 cubes thats why i asked

[soft raft]

Well there's no real way you can speed up getting cubes
You can't really even whale for them either since the gem to cube ratio is complete ass

[elfin hollow]

I had 100 previously but kinda spended them for guam because i rly wanted not to miss her ,soo now im bankruptted pretty much

[elfin hollow]

I do have gems but id rather wait and stack them for a new chkalov skin or new azuma one ,but not using it on items except dock space or maybe rings

[soft raft]

Is this with free gems or 💳
If it's the former, dont bother saving up for skins and/or rings, you're gonna actively gimp your QOL by doing that

[elfin hollow]

Free gems ,every little gem from stages ,mails and commissions

[soft raft]

Yeah then dont bother
3rd dorm slot -> 2nd floor of dorm -> Everything into Dock space with no exception

[elfin hollow]

I see ,good point then ,is there a limit on how much dock i should buy or go heavy on it regardless?

[soft raft]

there is no reccomended stopping point besides "As much as you can"

If you're a collector, there are easily upwards of 700+ ships in the game, otherwise having plently of free dock space also means the "Your dock is full" prompt will show up less frequetly while you're grinding

[elfin hollow]

I see.. As for rings ,is the next event coming with anniversary or?

[soft raft]

CN anniv is May
EN anniv is August
JP anniv is Sept

And you get a free ring for anniv, but only for the anniv of your server region

[elfin hollow]

Ah ,then its only in august because im en server

Anyhow thanks for all advises you gave me ,i appriciate it

[elfin tapir]

When should I start to consider using separate mob and boss fleets for campaign, I kinda just cruise through it with 1 fleet atm. I just cleared Chapter 9

[tulip tinsel]

normally you start to make 2nd fleet at w9 or w12

[brave canyon]

I did in chapter 11/12

[stark quiver]

When you have the correct ships to do so
Not at a certain stage

[stone sluice]

Jimmy’s setup worked for me. I 3 starred 16-4 and I must admit it was not hard. But I also got lucky since I got 4 red bb nodes so raffaello fleet was able to deal with the rest
