[dark axle]

I wish I have cow healing ship

[sweet delta]

Laffii Guam sandy Eldridge is only 4 ships vg, do you have golds like Kurumi Shimanto

If you don't have cow then either manual or just safe it

[whole crypt]

use triple CV boss fleet
also are you trying to lethal 3-star, because there's really no point to

[hollow plank]

when is this? XD

[wind hazel]

2 week ish

[dark axle]

This is all I had for gold

[whole crypt]

just clear the stage get it to safe then do all enemies

[dark axle]

Any good recommendations for against battleship comp in 16-3

[whole crypt]

Raff is good

[sweet delta]

Musashi is best

[dark axle]

Raff is who

[whole crypt]

like your mob fleet looks ok but your boss fleet I have no idea why you're doing fights with it

[sweet delta]

Because their mob fleet died I guess

[dark axle]

Okay I will try slot in musashi, yea my boss fleet have issue I can still clear 16-3 but I need sometime in main fleet to help clear all enemies since it has extra ammo

[whole crypt]

Raffaello is the one you're already using

[sweet delta]

Musashi Aquila Zuihou laffii who z52
Raff independence unicorn Eldridge sandy who

[whole crypt]

again the crux of it is just don't bother trying to 3-star it in lethal

if you can manage it sure, but if it's not working out you're just wasting time and oil

[sweet delta]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-16-fleets/#three-starring

Also level up fritz to 125 for support fleet

[dark axle]

I got it thank so I need spilt 1 Healer to each squad for 3*

[sweet delta]

Each fleet should have 2 or 3 healers, not 1

[dark axle]

Hmm okay

[sweet delta]

Unicorn, Raffaello, Zuihou, and Cowpens are healers there

[stone lava]

when are we going to be able to craft the LA-9s in gear lab? When PR9 comes out?

[forest palm]

PR10 if the trend continues

[whole crypt]

in roughly another year and 9 months

[stone lava]

oh

its been real

[forest palm]

this year should add the Proto 203 SKC

[whole crypt]

more importantly late this year

[stone lava]

yeah I dont have any hindenburg guns or LA-9s

[forest palm]

not like the Proto 203 SKC is of any importance

[north gorge]

You'll be able to buy a LA-9 in protoshop after maint

[rapid shard]

Has there been any word of when DR5 and PR6s will be coinable?

[north gorge]

After maint

JP patch notes are out

[stone lava]

Yeah I saw that but Im pretty broke on proto

[north gorge]

PR7 catch-up coming

[forest palm]

PRYs become coinable after 3 years is the trend, so~

[rapid shard]

Oh nice finally can get Ply to dev30. Any other notable things in patch notes?

[stone lava]

oh we get more handbook missions?

[north gorge]

Possibly, I'm not that good at interpreting the mtl

[rapid shard]

Yeah but was wondering if they had finally announced a date.

[forest palm]

it's always during EN Ann

[dark axle]

[stone lava]

yeah looks like it more missions

[peak fable]

does anyone know how much stronger Fate Sim 5 FdG is over Dev 30

[stark quiver]

manual 💀

[forest palm]

it's solid improvement makes her less flag dependent bout it for FdG

[sweet delta]

In terms of DPS my DPS sheet knows

[forest palm]

wait are they changing how coining works?

[sweet delta]

It says about 14% more, assuming dev 30 fdg went from 100% to 50% HP, was proccing the barrage, and was flag

[brave canyon]

Plymouth 😮

[whole crypt]

and Brest

[tulip tinsel]

do we get pr7 combat data packs?

[rapid shard]

Is one full mission series enough protocore to buy a rainbow gear?

[left ferry]

we're still getting pr 4 packs from this season in cruise missions

[tulip tinsel]

that's not what the question was about tho

[left ferry]

oh my bad

[left ferry]

this?

[tulip tinsel]

no the ones that give 10k xp per toward combat xp collection

[whole crypt]

check notes if they're adding PR7 missions

not sure why you'll want PR7 specifically because please don't use them to rush dev

[tulip tinsel]

oh yeah there is

i just want nakh and don't have ships to grind her

[whole crypt]

guess what, we have a NP event end of this month

[tulip tinsel]

wait fr i forgot nakh is np

[left ferry]

Wonder what ship it'll be🤔

[whole crypt]

and Soyuz rerun should be Soon™

[tulip tinsel]

But yeah we are getting one in handbook

[whole crypt]

do you have 513 Nakhimov prints, if not definitely just wait for event for ships

or was is 512

[stark quiver]

3

[limber pulsar]

Who should I limit break first?

[onyx flame]

prob hold and wait to see what feb ur is

[ivory sigil]

well, since the new banner is 2 days later, perhaps i could skip 1 day of passive coin...
tho not just 30k coin i need to spent rn, i was having tons of stuff waiting to claim in weekly

so i was thinking of maybe some Aux then, was thinking about laffey1 aux 🥕 but i wasnt play her nowadays, maybe get Georgia aux before getting her?

Some other option are (based on coin spend Priority i made ... aka MLAR-QCF-SGA):

-Merchant upgrade (farm from lv98 till lvl 100 for it since i'm having like 14k+ oil waiting)
-Hwah jah Retrofit (mats lacking)
-Quest startdev for Georgia (3 days wait timer)
-FS3 to FS5 for Anchorage (estimate 60k coin to done FS4 1st)
-Any other Aux?

[stark quiver]

do you even have georgia at d30+

[tulip tinsel]

if you don't even have georgia don't get her aug

[stark quiver]

idk why you need hwah jah retro either, georgia isnt d30 so theres no point in getting her augment (if you meant aux = aug)

[ivory sigil]

i was pretty surprise that her aug is S ranked

[tulip tinsel]

well it is a huge upgrade

hwah jah you don't need her at your stage tbh why would you grind w15 support fleet rn

[brave canyon]

what should you do with them?

[stark quiver]

everything other than merchant there is low priority for you

[stark quiver]

people convert them to prototype core for gears in protocore shop

[brave canyon]

o right, I was thinking of something else

[brave canyon]

lvl 100 is really important for the relays

[fathom burrow]

How much dock space does a new player have?

[inner delta]

not much

[stark quiver]

a new player starts out with 150 dock

[fathom burrow]

quite the bottleneck still then....

thinking about all the people I know who complained about dock space and then quit

[stark quiver]

peak gameplay

[ivory sigil]

Well if not buy any skin, you could have around 300-350 dock space if you farm enough

[inner delta]

i mean people literally refuse to buy space for skin so idk what to say

[brave canyon]

it's not too bad if you spend gems smartly

if you're f2p and mispend your initial gems you are fugged

[stark quiver]

i still need to 3 star chapter 16 for rings

[fathom burrow]

I get that, it's even without buying any skins in these cases so idk

[onyx flame]

prolly bought cubes/coins with gems

[stark quiver]

or its just because players in general dont get a lot of dock space

[fathom burrow]

Yeah ok. You aren't keeping all your new ship girls every year at least without getting more dock space. 10 dock space is $5, but we get like what, 30+ ship girls a year I'm guessing? Ok I get it

[onyx flame]

a lot more iirc but you also get gems from lny and anni (and sometimes comms) so you eventually catch up

[stark quiver]

i just buy more when i run out, too lazy to retire purples and up

[sweet delta]

about 60 new ships per year who use dock space, but free gems throughout the year more than cover that

[fathom burrow]

Free gems per year cover that many? fr

[brave canyon]

you get 50 gems per week from weekly missions

[sweet delta]

[brave canyon]

right?

[sweet delta]

i think you're thinking of the wrong game

[stark quiver]

you do?

[brave canyon]

lul ok, guess i mistook a campaign mission

[sweet delta]

this is what i have in the past 6 months of mail. Of course, the other half of the year didn't have anniversary gems, but it did have 300+ from lunar new year

For all active players
200 social media milestone
200 island reset
100 bugs
100 extended maintenance
200 required update
800 anniversary

Optional events that needed participation
200 event on social media

[inner delta]

anniv is going to be +100 every year

[spark patio]

is this good? should i grind for the rest 3?

[tulip tinsel]

no

[hollow gust]

Meh not really

[brave canyon]

pulled a bunch for Carl and got 2 Warspites

[ivory sigil]

If you perhaps buy 1 skin then it get reduced to 50.
Well total ship in game is currently 800+
But you can ignore some of the earlier ship that power arent relevant to your endgame progression

Apparently i reached 3rd month of AZ playing, chapter13, the dockslot is 240, with 1 skin bought and 1300 remain, there still some quest i havent touch

I feel fine with current dockspot, will eventually unlock when i get newer ship/ faction needs/ ease of N farming slot

[ivory sigil]

I still trying ... getting lv100 now would equal to spend all my oil, and thus coin accumulated would very huge probably

[brave canyon]

go ham brother

[ivory sigil]

So i was thinking of start dev for Georgia plus with daily coin up, i still had catch up if i need, but since i dont need her rn for any content i just gonna chilling building her until her aug is usable 😄

[stark eagle]

He so i copied this for chapter 14 hard mode but can i put beter equipment on this fleet???

I don't have the Italian Ship so in her place is goude leeuw

[ivory sigil]

I just start dev her in a relaxing purpose, as a way to get around with free coin up daily since my Anchorage dev is about to done and there is no other one to coin up

-# Unless if they announce PR6 coin up then goodbye her i go get my Flandre maxxing + Shimanto

[clear harbor]

I think we're waiting on PR6 and DR5 to be coinable soonish?

[ivory sigil]

Soon TM

[clear harbor]

Yeah, I don't know. I researched Plymouth a month or two ago. Hopefully soon. I don't have any DRs to coin right now.

[tulip tinsel]

tmr's maint

[clear harbor]

Yay.

[tulip tinsel]

• la 9(protocore shop) and pr7 handbook thing

[clear harbor]

That's a lot of goodies.

Is there an approximate time for when we get new research ships?

[onyx flame]

new season is typically during middle of the year

[clear harbor]

Only one season per year?

[stark eagle]

Can somebody help

[wintry cedar]

Hey guys any tips on autoing 16-4?

[north gorge]

What do you think would be better equipment for that fleet?

[stark eagle]

Maybe rainbow twin 76mm guns or the other rainbow France gun and a nother fire controle Table (rainbow)

[north gorge]

Seems fine to upgrade those

[stark eagle]

Yeah but i was wondering if there where anything else to replace musashi has a fire think on her but is that good on her?

[north gorge]

It presumably worked fine

[stark eagle]

You know that for sure?

[muted wind]

doing those swaps seems fine, it was presumably just not recommended because it's overkill and more expensive

[stark eagle]

O alright

[muted wind]

admittedly roomba has more range, so it's nice for auto consistency if you don't need the damage

[stark eagle]

Are there other thinks that can make this Lot easier

Also i copied the Napoli equipment and put it only goude leeuw is this still good?

[north gorge]

Wait a year or two for more powercreep URs to be released will make it easier

[muted wind]

gouden leeuw preferably wants her own gun rather than one of the UR ones, other than that it's probably good enough

[stark eagle]

O thanks then i give her her own gun

[brave canyon]

It’s good to build and start coining as soon as possible because it takes so long and there are so many ships to coin

[tawdry halo]

any worthy BBs to raise from this list y'all?

[whole crypt]

your pace goes up as you progress and as long as you're faster than the release pace you're fine

finishing a new series is just a matter of 3-4 months

[wind hazel]

oumi uvh since already mlb

[rapid summit]

How does Valentine’s Day event work?

[wind hazel]

treat it as grinding event point

i stole this from my guild, dont rat me out

- Choose one ship to be your date (by default, your leftmost secretary)
- Gain points when clearing stages (gain double with your date in the fleet)
- Accumulate enough points to get the Love Letter for said date
- Date can be changed in the event menu; up to 10x, each date has their own separate milestone```

[whole crypt]

oh new vday format?

[whole crypt]

hm looks like no new vday message for ships that already exist from before last vday?

[muted wind]

i guess they got tired of writing new messages for hundreds of ships every year. honestly can't blame them

[scenic yew]

LB NJ, she’s perfect

[whole crypt]

except she's been powercrept, can be obtained from perm pity and you should be saving UR bulins for new UR in 2 weeks

[dark axle]

Finally 3* gosh 16-3

[whole crypt]

not if you fail the boss fight

[dark axle]

Sakura empire is op

Time for 16-4

[wary saffron]

Will I get warspite from requisition pool?

[tropic tusk]

u dont pull requisition pool , like ever

[wary saffron]

I have 400 medals an I’m willing to waste them

[tropic tusk]

u have better things to buy

[wary saffron]

Like?

[tropic tusk]

go medal shop

[wary saffron]

The medal shop only has one SR SS ship girl

[tropic tusk]

did u click refreash?

did u buy all gold mats?

[wary saffron]

There is no refresh button on medal

[tropic tusk]

mb , but did u buy everything thast useful this month?>

[wary saffron]

No?

[tropic tusk]

ya u didnt

[wary saffron]

Oh shit specialized core forgot

[tropic tusk]

[wary saffron]

Well that still doesn’t answer my question if warspite is on the pool?

Also thanks now I have a UR bullin

[sick kettle]

so ply are going to be coinable next update?

[tropic tusk]

no idea never cared about that pool

[wary saffron]

Rip

[tulip tinsel]

the chances you get her from req are extra low

and yes she is in the pool

[wary saffron]

Low but not impossible

I am a gambler I never give up

[tulip tinsel]

one sr from 42 with 4% chance to build sr

[tropic tusk]

if ur gambler u should just heavey

[wary saffron]

I dealt with lower chances

[wary saffron]

Broke on cubes

[tulip tinsel]

why even gamble for warspoot

[tropic tusk]

love

[tulip tinsel]

just wait for like soyuz rerun or smth should be heavy pool

[onyx flame]

or just wait for medal shop to rotate to bb

[wary saffron]

Because I need her for the 50 gems in the momento

[wraith pendant]

and what are you going to do with these 50 gems ?

[tulip tinsel]

i bet it's a skin

[wraith pendant]

I'd be curious to see some maths as to how much those 50 gems cost money wise if they are obtained through requisition

to pull a specific ship

[onyx flame]

its like 0.0009% or something

literally better off buying the 60 gems and then asking someone for a dollar

[tulip tinsel]

Fr

[onyx flame]

anyway unless the thing your buying is gonna disappear after this maint, might as well wait we're getting some gems from lny event

[trim depot]

how many r we getting?

[whole crypt]

guaranteed is something like 288 or 388 I don't remember

you could roll like a very small amount more if you're lucky

[trim depot]

oh its a gacha

[whole crypt]

it's partly a gacha

[trim depot]

im getting 388

[whole crypt]

everyone's guarantee is the same I just don't remember if it's 288 or 388

[trim depot]

alr ic

[whole crypt]

basically for each of the "large" red packets you get a denomination that's 8, 18, 28 or 38 gems

I remember checking across 2 accounts one year the number of each denomination you get is exactly the same and you get the same total

it's just that after the "large" red packets you can still get a couple more red packets to roll and those can drop you like 1 or 2 gems

[trim depot]

damn alr ty for the info

[wraith pendant]

working on anchorage and Fried Carl, and I luck out on Sandy on daily pull. Ah well, I don't have the gazillion retrofit materials to build her anyway

[dark axle]

Does meta ship released after Feb 2025 get chocolate?

[hallow mountain]

what's the gear that grants the vanguard a shield thingy

i often see it in pvp

[soft raft]

It's a purely cosmetic Aux Gear Skin

[hallow mountain]

oh bruh

i saw it in the current event and i thought you can get it

didn't know it was a skin, damn

[soft raft]

It was from this event
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Rising_of_the_Ship_Heroes!

[whole crypt]

not sure how presents will work this year but

• ships launched after last vday will have a vday 2026 message
• ships launched before last vday will unlock past year messages

maybe wait for a bit more announcements

[inland shoal]

And yes METAs get their own lines

[whole crypt]

METAs have their own lines
muses and IIs share with OG

collab characters will default to akashi

hell naw I'm not playing whack a cat

[dark axle]

Is this confirm?

I scared I pick meta than I get cat

[whole crypt]

METAs are just their own ships

collab ships are just awkward because they can't add new content to them

[ivory sigil]

i decided to ignore my own priority and try 30 rolls in this banner and got nothing....

Beside the SR bigchest girl TWICE

I want the flatlooking gurl or Liverpool⚽

[late flame]

#al-general is that way though

[ivory sigil]

But is the Sr bigchest girl okayish to build?

Her name something carl

[late flame]

None of them are really worth the trouble

[wind hazel]

decent ship, if you don't know what to invest your gold bulin in

[faint glacier]

any tips for farming pr vanguard exp? i tend to struggle clearing even just 11-1 or the backliner just mvps and takes all the exp…

[onyx flame]

i would farm in chp 12 other than that make sure they are mlb and book them a bit more to higher level if needed and ofc decent gear

[wind hazel]

farm at 12-1, ignore the mvp

[umbral briar]

u can unequip the main gun, also better not use ship have barrage

[faint glacier]

ooh will try that out

[onyx flame]

i wouldnt do that unless your vanguard is capable of carrying themself

[wind hazel]

if you're already struggling i dont suggest you to do that

[whole crypt]

if you're struggling with ch11 I suggest fixing up your fleets and pushing to 12 before bothering with research

[woven star]

Main ships tech important too

[faint glacier]

tbh dont think theres much i can do for my fleets atm since im stuck waiting for ur bulins and opsi mats for gear lab guns… other than that i have oil piling up and nothing to do

[whole crypt]

ch12 doesn't need URs

if you have oil piling up then just level ships in 11

[wind hazel]

what are you even using?

[whole crypt]

you don't need anything from research, UR, OS or lab for ch11 and 12

[faint glacier]

ive cleared ch 12 and 13 but just cant consistently auto it on 3/1 for pr farming

[wind hazel]

what 3/1

[whole crypt]

just use full fleets

[faint glacier]

as in

3 vanguard 1 backline

[onyx flame]

throwing away exp by only using 1 backline

[whole crypt]

that's outdated as fuck

[wind hazel]

nobody does that

[umbral briar]

I think 3/1 or 1/3 is no longer relevant now because of the oil cap

[whole crypt]

also MVP control is fairly pointless

[faint glacier]

oop okay. seems like my info is massively outdated

[whole crypt]

running less ships stopped being a thing ever since oil cap was added

[faint glacier]

oh okay

[onyx flame]

lny event is raid coalition right?

[whole crypt]

MVP control is also not worth the time and effort if it makes your runs longer and/or unreliable

[whole crypt]

no, just basic raid

[onyx flame]

damn my sub affinity grinding

[whole crypt]

you can sub aff with raid what are you thinking

[faint glacier]

do the rest gain same amount of exp (other than flagship bonus and mvp) or is it scaled according to performance or whatever too?

basically asking if i can just have a weaker vanguard and pile strong backliners

[small nymph]

hey guys can you help me build a fleet for ch15? let's just assume i have all the shipgirls, who should i level and build?

[whole crypt]

all ships gain the same XP besides MVP, flagship, morale and skill modifiers regardless of how many ships you send and how much/little they do

[faint glacier]

kk, tyvm!

[whole crypt]

normal raid is just basically the current event format but with a server boss gauge, also there's a customizable EX boss thing

[whole crypt]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15/

[onyx flame]

ah so thats what that means, im ngl i thought the current event is just a weird coalition

[whole crypt]

coalition is the weird one, not raid

[tulip tinsel]

what aa gun yall slap on 12-4 grind

[whole crypt]

roombas will work

if your ships aren't too shit basically just don't go with no AA

[onyx flame]

whatever i got lying around which is a mix of twin 105, quad bofors

[whole crypt]

if your ships are very good 12-4 can be done with basically no AA

[small nymph]

see, i dont really get this
i need names XD
like who is the best tank who should be in flex etc etc
i just kinda slap all my URs in a fleet with unicorn and try to beat it on auto

[whole crypt]

have you read this part

[small nymph]

ah i see i missed that sry

[twilit wren]

i already got the top row for this table, what should i go for next

[tulip tinsel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/460648604974055424/1452499913026834472/Protocore_guide.png?ex=698deeb5&is=698c9d35&hm=58951e3fd833f67f742b2a1a9bacf0b7bb236c5107f0781ff762d7dacca0774d&

[twilit wren]

is the reason why 3 of the AP BB gun is recommended is to run a 3 BB main fleet against a heavy boss

[tulip tinsel]

probably

[twilit wren]

if thats the case i dont see why i cant just go for the twin 457 mm mk a , i already have enough for it

[onyx flame]

457 has a different use case

[twilit wren]

okey thanks!

[somber girder]

What does everyone do to build out your Op Si teams? Typically Fleet 1 mobs through everything with ease. 2 is built more for bosses and I never use 3 or 4. I just feel like im im underutilizing the other fleets but since they dont get xp why bother with so many fleets

[forest palm]

most vets only really use 2 fleets in ops at most, but really it's a Mob Fleet, a BB Fleet, a CV fleet, the 4th one is more of a flex fleet or just dumping cross fleet ships

[wintry cedar]

Hey guys is there a way to remove fog of war completely from chapter 16-4?

[viscid swift]

I need to yell at faer to update this

[ivory pawn]

<@&460646206851252224> scammer

[tulip tinsel]

what's outdated/changed in that?

[viscid swift]

removing the Agir gun all together mainly

and probably moving the La-9 up a bit

[sweet delta]

What's the difference in cost between 457, ply gun, and tenrai? La9 should be higher than at least 2 of them because it's not available in gear lab

Maybe even higher than tenrai

457 is nice for meta showdown without RLD tech or Meck guns though. Compared to +10 gold guns

[viscid swift]

457

Tenrai

[sweet delta]

Georgia 68 electronics, and equivalent of 55 T2 ordnance
Tenrai 81 and 48
Ply 20 and 56

[viscid swift]

Plymouth Gun

I'm thinking of derating the Tenrai's worth overall because we have less and less CVs, more importantly relevant CVs using DBs, let alone against heavy armor.

[tulip tinsel]

would the twin 457 be good against med armor boss or meck gun better?

[forest palm]

Quad 305 will perform better than the 457 on Med imo

[mighty tulip]

Question, as a newer acc I stockpiled >400 cubes for next UR, is it doable to roll that many times within an event if I don’t have a stockpile of coin?

[eternal basalt]

(providee you can do 9-1)

[ivory pawn]

Might be a little difficult pre-chapter 9.

[mighty tulip]

Yep! I have gotten to do ch 10 recently

Is 9-1 the best for coin farming?

[stark quiver]

meck gun is easier to time for skill issued people who still use helena

[forest palm]

don't most buff rotations even outside of Helena not line up well with the 457

[viscid swift]

Actually no

I think Meck gun is so fast it desyncs from Helena's radar scans

[fiery raptor]

would the upcoming CNY skins be rerun this year's Black Friday or would it be too soon for them to rerun? It's around November right?

[onyx flame]

Should be iirc the cutoff is like around cn anni

[woven star]

305?

Ah meck gun. Nvm

Anyway if not having meck I found triple 406 1940 better then 1938 for meta med boss

[fiery raptor]

Do people run healer in both fleets in w16 since both share in mob duties? Cowpens and Aquila vs recon and cv, Unicorn for main?

[sweet delta]

Only for 3 star

And you can distribute the healers however you want, but that Aquila Cowpens for recon looks like a bad idea

Musashi is hands down the best BB for main fleets , so Cowpens or Aquila or both should be there .
*Where best means best without resetting battles

[fiery raptor]

Uni Volga for recon with Raffaello or should I go for a different cv than Volga? Like CV Amagi?

If not Amagi who would be best CV I don't have Rumey.

[brave canyon]

an up to date video on crafting priorities (also with the choice mats) would be a great video nudge nudge

[viscid swift]

I mean the gear lab guide's been updated since December

[hot tiger]

What should I focus on in opsi?

[fiery raptor]

getting UR blueprints

[zenith heron]

If I put a Muse/Meta version of said ship, lets say Taihou at the First slot of the Secretary section, in preparation for the Feb 14 Valentine's day note, does it go within the same OG Taihou letter? or it goes with its Muse/Meta Counterpart?

[cloud panther]

Beat every zone once

[north gorge]

Patch notes say you get base Taihou

[hot tiger]

So should I focus on getting better equipment

[cloud panther]

Those comes with playing opsi and get gold plates

But opsi u just literally need to be strong enough to win 1 fight and can use heal boxes in between

[left wadi]

Any recommendations on who to pick in UR exchange?

[soft raft]

[velvet nova]

hey guys, I have a question!

Sometimes I get these little side stories with the shipgirls...? I was wondering what exactly triggers those to happen...

[frank phoenix]

is the gear reccomandation on this site accurate?

[ivory pawn]

Kinda, but it's poorly formatted and has some mistakes.

[velvet nova]

ohh

[peak fable]

what are the top 5 tankiest vanguard ships in the game? (excluding ships like Eldridge and Jeanne who make the team tanky)

[fiery raptor]

Napoli Ancho Guam Agir Laffii

maybe Brest is tougher than Agir

***Uni Volga for recon with Raffaello or should I go for a different cv than Volga? Like CV Amagi?
If not Amagi who would be best CV I don't have Rumey.

For W16 vs recon and cv fleet

[ivory sigil]

so when it hit 0:00 it will be maint?

[forest palm]

should be in like 6 hours

[strange flame]

i wish i could just buy rainbow bulins with money :(

[ivory sigil]

I dont get it, PR6 coinable after maint as well? Or just speculation?

[strange flame]

when will dr5 become coinable?

[ivory sigil]

Would la 9 changed the tenrai priority of getting for new skk?

[stark quiver]

No

[fiery raptor]

***Uni Volga for vs recon and cv with Raffaello or should I go for a different cv than Volga? Like CV Amagi?
If not Amagi who would be best CV I don't have Rumey.

can someone plz help

[undone plover]

wdym recon

[fiery raptor]

w16

since one fleet is for main and one fleet is vs recons and cv

[undone plover]

ah my bad sry i havent done it yet idk what that is

[fiery raptor]

cowpens and aquila is with musashi in the main busters so that leaves uni with raffa and a cv

and i don't know who is optimal i'm defaulting to Volga since she's a healer with dps

[slim hinge]

Do I need to assign to my secretary slot before the maintenance for the Valentine's Day card? Or is that still on the 14th?

[fiery raptor]

before

[sweet delta]

There are no CV nodes

[fiery raptor]

ok cool, would amagi cv be better than shinano or yorkii or essex retro i don't have rumey

[sweet delta]

Those are the proper names for "DD" and "BB" nodes all chapters in campaign, not just 16

[slim hinge]

before what? maintenance or the 14th?

[fiery raptor]

the 14th

before reset

[undone plover]

yeah fair
I thought it was like CV support fleet for ch15

[elfin tapir]

but doesnt Laffey2 have very low HP

[fiery raptor]

skills

she's dang near unkillable

[stark quiver]

PvP meta

[fiery raptor]

she tanked w15 lethal just fine

[elfin tapir]

ohhh is it from this

[sweet delta]

Cowpens Aquila may be too little vanguard healing

[fiery raptor]

i was under the impression w16 main nodes had high main fleet pressure

should i split them up?

[sweet delta]

They have high main fleet pressure

and high vanguard pressure

[fiery raptor]

main vanguard for that is planned to be napoli wdp ply or napoli eld ply

[stark quiver]

High pressure gamemode

[sweet delta]

As with any enemy torpedoes, it doesnt feel good when your ship loses 80% of her max HP in 3 seconds

[stark quiver]

Also suchi why did you use la9 on uni in the guide

[sweet delta]

Dange

[stark quiver]

La9 rocket damage really better than flapjack bombs?

[brave canyon]

yes it makes her a crazy tank

[soft raft]

Stats arent the entire picture
The skills are the real meat and bones that define the ship's role and how good she is

[zenith heron]

I guess next ship it is

[whole crypt]

muse gets base
META is separate

IIs also get base

@north gorge

[north gorge]

Didn't see that metas were still separate, thanks

[zenith heron]

Meta is separate

[ivory sigil]

noooooo i need to pick someone else???

[zenith heron]

||Exactly. Its hard after all to make a letter that is from the source||

[soft raft]

And who knows if licensing shenanagins could get in the way of that

likely would since it's the other company's IP being used

[mighty tulip]

I have a ton of purple bulins, should I train up Saratoga or Ark Royal?

[soft raft]

Saratoga

Ark Royal is very niche and even then she's basically now the poverty option in that niche (Slow debuff utility) which is basically only ever seen in OpSi

[elfin tapir]

that makes sense, i'll need to look more into the skills from now on

unfortunately, that requires A TON of reading!!!

https://giphy.com/gifs/reading-dot-strategies-NFA61GS9qKZ68

[brave canyon]

is there any difference between champ and flandre guns?

in use cases

[whole crypt]

no

[vale spindle]

likely no datamine today unless nagami gets online to do it

[viscid swift]

2/11/2026 CN Datamine

[whole crypt]

I'll just go check bili

[brave canyon]

can you link if you find it?

[stark quiver]

5467 on bilibili probably

[whole crypt]

https://www.bilibili.com/opus/1168346411555618816?spm_id_from=333.1387.0.0

[stark quiver]

would you look at that

[sweet delta]

Mfw bilibilir with tens of thousands of followers posts freely about "spoilers" while people get warned for the same in #gameplay-help

[brave canyon]

ty!

[ivory sigil]

How can you have 4 line of fleet in 1 picture... was it a tablet?

[brave canyon]

looks like 2 +500 hp auxes

+1% something, probably luck or speed

[stark quiver]

so more useless auxes

[brave canyon]

third is probably +180 hp, +20 something

could be anything

[whole crypt]

no that's the +11 siren bonus

20FP 180HP
when equipped gives you fancy festive electronic firecrackers

[stark quiver]

wait cant you just put it thru translator and find out what that anything could be

[whole crypt]

the other 2 are 500 HP auxes with cosmetic effects on Ying Swei and Chao Ho respectively, I'm guessing like Anchorage's snowglobe

[hallow mountain]

What the hell does this do

[brave canyon]

Strange Power

it heals or buffs or shoots a barrage, overall quite good

[hallow mountain]

Sounds meh if it does random stuff

[brave canyon]

it's very good, highest tier of hp you can get (550) and the abiltiies are useful

[hallow mountain]

Why tf couldn't they bothered to properly explain it like this lmao

[stark quiver]

becuase it wasnt meant to be put out in text form like that

[hallow mountain]

Idk I'm pretty sure some skills are way longer than that

[whole crypt]

except it's still 550HP as a second HP aux if you already have toolkit

or in the cases where toolkit healing doesn't add up

[hallow mountain]

Is it good for PvP?
I'll use it for W-14 onwards

[stark quiver]

its good in pvp on yuudachi

[hallow mountain]

What about Laffey 2

[stark quiver]

laffey2 uses a speed/hp aux and manjuu

[ivory sigil]

Hmm accord to the team i owned, i had manage to make most of them reached lv120,

[stark quiver]

what about it

[hallow mountain]

Ok last question do torpedo stats stack? Like what if I put a rainbow and gold torpedo for Shimakaze

[stark quiver]

the auxes? yes

[hallow mountain]

Ok thanks

[ivory sigil]

Only some of 4 or 5 ship left need to build but idk who mainfleet should i build next

I'm going to replace Lexi2 soon

[stark quiver]

replacing lex2 💀
i mean the only remotely viable boat there is probably saratoga

[brave canyon]

Warspite's very good early just requires lots of stuff to get going

[whole crypt]

by the time you have the resources to invest in her fully you don't need her

spoot is just noob bait by large

[brave canyon]

i don't think that's true

she's better than the SSR BBs right? it'll be a while before we have full fleets of UR BBs

[whole crypt]

she's better than the mediocre SSR BBs after you spend over a month to retrofit her

[stark quiver]

new UR ships come out
and old URs rerun
and theyre probably all better than warspite

[whole crypt]

and pay for her augment

[hollow gust]

There are way too much very good SSR BBs these days

[whole crypt]

the top end of SSR should be better than a completed spoot

[hollow gust]

Oumi , owari , Monarch , Georgia etc etc

[sweet delta]

Is Yuudachi good for pvp?

[stark quiver]

i meant yukikaze

[ivory sigil]

Yeah i wanna ask for endgame content mostly

[whole crypt]

Warspite's not very good early either for the record

[stark quiver]

you are nowhere close to endgame, just focus on what good units you can raise rn
or tech boats to strengthen your account in general if you dont have any goodish units

[ivory sigil]

what vittorio or francesco? Are they better than Warspoot?

[brave canyon]

idk Warspite seems pretty good to me, guess I'll see how she compares to Monarch soon

[stark quiver]

pretty good because every other ship you have is bad isnt a good metric

[brave canyon]

but then my only BBs are them and Nelson obviously she beats out Nelson by a lot

[viscid swift]

Nah, she's now a proper UR BB

Against bosses at least

[wind hazel]

warspite slander

[fickle parcel]

I just bumped into a player who had 6 married ships at level 1. How is this possible?

[viscid swift]

There's an event which let's you gain affinity from the left secretary slot above 90

[fickle parcel]

Neat~ tyty

[stark quiver]

NArd lore

[whole crypt]

yeh but that doesn't improve her standing for early game

oh nice new minigame

[sweet delta]

What's chang Wu eHP?

[whole crypt]

looks slightly behind Portland before red skill proc?

actually EVA skill should put her slightly ahead it looks like it'll depend of how consistently can you add stacks for the damage reduction

[slow fox]

chang wu out?

[brave canyon]

after maintenance

[ivory sigil]

What about warpsite vs Georgia?

[slate siren]

ive wasted between 3 and 5 hundred cubes trying to get carl and i got like 6 nubian

[stark quiver]

cool

[ivory sigil]

Does any of them had problem with skill inconsistency or faction reliable?

[brave canyon]

https://youtu.be/wDbXUIsMly4?si=XQouKHcosOeQQRcg&t=98

[slate siren]

[whole crypt]

Georgia with augment is apparently top gold for medium/heavy now?

[brave canyon]

damn, I spent about 100 and got 2 warspites and 2 nubs and 1 other useless one

[whole crypt]

Warspite just isn't really worth the investment

[stark quiver]

i spent 0 because i got them all 2 years ago

[slate siren]

https://tenor.com/view/damn-ye-robert-pattinson-the-lighthouse-willem-dafoe-gif-16327355

[whole crypt]

there's also that we should be getting a new UR in 2 weeks

[whole crypt]

if you want to salt #al-general is that way

[strong tartan]

when shoukd we expect the stream for that

[whole crypt]

if a stream happens around the weekend of 21-22 Feb

[ivory sigil]

i happen to favor her despite it was tough to know the truth

I guess i gonna stick with either her or continue up when i have enough for Georgia

[brave canyon]

I also didn't get her, but only rolled about 100 cubes and got 5 SSRs

[strong tartan]

fun

[brave canyon]

i think they're underrating Warspite

Warspite>Georgia

[rustic adder]

pvp doesnt give affection right?

[whole crypt]

Warspite's viability issue is slightly compounded by the fact she costs you spec cores to retrofit, even if you were already done with other higher priority retrofits

[strong tartan]

warspite isn't bad her investment is just so high for what you're receiving

[whole crypt]

and costing a unique augment is also not helpful

[stark quiver]

no

[whole crypt]

stiggy you have the numbers for spoot vs top golds now?

[sweet delta]

@slow fox purely hypothetically, what would the eHP be of a CA with 125 levels and love and
Base stats of 4902 HP, 54 luck, 257 AA, 78 Eva, medium armor
+18% Eva stat
-2.5% damage taken from 15s to 30s
-5% damage taken from 30s to 45s
-10% damage taken from 45s to 60s
-12.5% damage taken from 60s to end

[wind hazel]

just check his dpsv1 sheet

[whole crypt]

I guess looks decent for bossing

[sweet delta]

it assumes the boss is frozen for the whole battle

[safe nexus]

is laffey 2 dps high? ik she is a super tank only

[wintry cedar]

Hey what does the ops damage boost stand for when upgrading over +10

[valid hatch]

Hello, new player downloading the game now and was wondering which of the 3 starter ships I should pick.

[whole crypt]

well doesn't contest the idea it's too expensive to bother with

[safe nexus]

they are pretty much the same

[onyx flame]

Doesnt make too much of a diff

[whole crypt]

Laffey II's self DPS is decent but not great

[safe nexus]

so her uses are buffs and tanking?

[whole crypt]

mostly

[onyx flame]

Boost dmg against siren enemies in opsi iirc

[valid hatch]

Ok good to know. Thank you.

[whole crypt]

damage bonus against siren enemies, stacks with siren killer on research ships, off the top of my head it also caps at 25%
enhancing weapons past +10 is mainly for the improved damage on the weapon itself, the siren bonus is just extra

[sick kettle]

does ply will be coinable next update?

[stone lava]

Ye

[sick kettle]

high priority or nah?

[stone lava]

I mean she’s probably the best coinable ship after update

[clear harbor]

Who's more effective at tanking for the whole Vanguard? Eldrige Retro or Anchorage?

I mean imporving the whole vanguard's survivability.

[pale mason]

are any of the current event banner ships worth pulling for? i have ptsd from the one time that i skipped and they were actually useful in some fleets

[tulip tinsel]

No

save for UR

[pale mason]

ok cool thanks

[opaque galleon]

How hard do the bearcat floatplanes mog the seiran for SSVs?

[whole crypt]

generally Eldridge but could depend on use case

[clear harbor]

Yorktown Meta and Jintsu Meta. Eldridge has been mostly solid, but I had one bad run where everyone died super quick for some reason (wasn't watching so I don't know what happened).

[cobalt gate]

what is a good boss frontrow for 14-4 hard mode?

[brave canyon]

Eldridge is RNG oriented so she can get plopped

I'm guessing

[whole crypt]

Eldridge+Napoli I guess
but Yorktown META isn't hard on vanguard

Jintsuu META is a different ballgame

[opaque galleon]

I don’t like eldridge with smoke tanks since the timings can clash and be kinda wasted.

[onyx flame]

Prob got bbq by the laser with the AI just standing in it, assuming yorkm

[whole crypt]

it's really only a thing for maximizing vanguard durability in extreme cases

[clear harbor]

Yeah, it was Jintsuu. Usually I can easily two shot Jintsuu. But that one run was very bad some how.

[tulip tinsel]

Yes

[opaque galleon]

You’d just run traditional HP/dodge tanks for more consistency no?

[whole crypt]

unless your Eldridge rng gets extremely bad you're not going to have it any better overall

[clear harbor]

My vanguard is Eldridge Helena Traflgar. Running Helena and Traf to eek out out as much damage as I can to two shot.

[opaque galleon]

You’d do better to run kursk against yt meta

[clear harbor]

My Kursk is level 73.

[whole crypt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qevTFzjuxJE stiggy from 10 months ago

[rapid tusk]

What does making a promise do?

[clear harbor]

Yeah, not a huge sample size, but anecdotally Eldrige is doing notably better.

[rain bobcat]

I completely forgot there were gonna be new ships, I just keep remembering the segs skins

[onyx flame]

Oath a ship aka marry

[brave canyon]

What do you guys like here, g 130 or purple Meck?

[onyx flame]

I rather take meck

[brave canyon]

Meck is seggsy

[rapid tusk]

What does it do by marrying a ship?

[strong tartan]

slight stat increase but most of the time its just oath who you like

though sometimes since all stats get increased that also means whatever synced before may not sync once you oath a ship

[gray sphinx]

Why would you ever pass on a face DR research

Especially a smexy DR ship like meck

[cobalt gate]

what do you guys use for 14-4 hard boss? i seem to get murdered

[whole crypt]

I would take 1.5g

[whole crypt]

what are you using now

[whole crypt]

1.5g is better if you're gear focusing

[brave canyon]

im split focus I guess but it'll be a long time until i get to meck

IB tech is quite low

[whole crypt]

it'll get faster as you finish PR8 anyway

in terms of prints

[brave canyon]

should I move on from 8 after a meck gun?

[whole crypt]

why not 3

[brave canyon]

💀

[cobalt gate]

@whole crypt using the 1st team for boss

[sweet delta]

lamo

[whole crypt]

not using Shimakaze could be a start

[rapid tusk]

So it’s better to get to 125 before using oath?

[whole crypt]

there's no difference whether you do it before or after

[cobalt gate]

I mean shima has cross fleet

[whole crypt]

the idea is if you want to keep a comp sycned, you may have to oath everyone instead to keep the timings consistent

[whole crypt]

her cross fleet is kind of meh you'll do better just using a stronger mob fleet
she's also paper and will fold in 14H

[cobalt gate]

Who to change to then @whole crypt

[whole crypt]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/edit?usp=sharing pick something that ranks higher

[forest palm]

anything interesting from the datamine?

[whole crypt]

don't know how well the new CA will fare
purple is purple
doubt Ying Swei and Chao retrofits will save them
aux gear nothing outstanding

there's a new minigame, not sure what this means for fu shun acquisition

oh fu shun is in the invite

no mention of an shan in the notes

[late flame]

-# new missile when

[slow fox]

According to the information that Suchi gave me, there is a CA that is like 93% or something

[forest palm]

An Shan really found dead in a ditch...

[whole crypt]

what puts her behind Portland

is the HP difference adding up that much over the EVA skill and dmgred

[slow fox]

:leeuwthink:

To ground ourselves, let's average-out both of their DmgRed skills.

Portland: ~1%
NewGirl: ~7.5%

At this level of LCK/EVA, 4 LCK is about 1 EVA. So Portland has ~8 EVA on NewGirl. Including NewGirl's EVAskill, then has ~6 EVA on Portland.

Does 6 EVA beat 500 HP?

No.

[cobalt gate]

Isn’t new ca mainly for her buff?

[whole crypt]

skills look offensive oriented but I'm mostly just following on stig's question of her eHP

[slow fox]

Based "I don't really care about offensive skills" eHPmaxxer

[ivory sigil]

What happen when i reach 400/400 UR select? Would it add up even if i not select?

[inner delta]

no, it stay at 400

[whole crypt]

to be fair I'm more concerned how well she tanks given her likely position to be used with other Chinese ships if you bother at all

[slow fox]

Front/Middle/Back considerations are apparently....

0.5/0.25/0.25

[ivory sigil]

So what would be the next UR that enter the permanent? And which one people hope to enter the Permanent the most?

[inner delta]

i dont know the schedule for that

[whole crypt]

they're just added in order of release

[ivory sigil]

Where can i find the list

[whole crypt]

don't think there's an easy reference but next on the list is BisZwei

[ivory sigil]

Yeah,i try to use Standard list on wiki and it does kinda resemble that. It is funny that Willy porter had her ID so early that she is nearly top of the list

Why i cant find Lion ,wasnt she in middle of Early 2025 UR and late 2025 UR ( between Trafagal to Lexi?)

[ivory sigil]

Thank you

[wind hazel]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/ships?rarity=6&sortType=date

[rain bobcat]

i can prob only update 1 skin as update comes out. I have stuff to do early morning and the guy with good timezone is sick rest will be within 12ish hrs of update

[wind hazel]

gooners 9/11

obviously l2d+ skin priority, right?

[rain bobcat]

will do fdg first probably

was it fdg dual, CN l2d+, shinano normal and that's it?

[wind hazel]

shinano is l2d

normal l2d

[rain bobcat]

just 3 skins l2d then

ill do fdg tonight then both CN and shinano while I work in the morning

[hallow mountain]

Wait wtf I didn't know Eldridge can tank, how

[muted wind]

her full-evasion skill is pretty neat. though if you get bad rng, she can also just get nuked

[whole crypt]

Eldridge is only viable as a tank in moderate pressure, if it's high pressure you want a main tank plus her skill

and she needs retrofit

[ivory sigil]

Seem like my UR 400 select only choice is musashi, there isnt anyone would replace her spot right? Has any BB had powercreep her so far ?

[wind hazel]

kinda yes and no

you dont have many options so it's a no for you

[tulip tinsel]

just pick sushi she's the best from perma UR

[ivory sigil]

Yeah I still wait for a 3rd BB as an UR to add to my primary team
Even if i build Warsprite, Georgie or Flandre, they are still not the highest prior when it comes to Moosashi

And yeah Lion is a wait for 2 years long, i assume Meck only use during Hard/Medium bosses

And Lexi2 in Light bosses

[still knot]

Can someone explain how this thing works
(Old Pic btw)

[soft raft]

Lecture hall converts some XP gained by lvl 100+ ships into XP packs

The ships you see in the hall are purely for cosmetic reasons and are mostly a remnant from the previous lecture hall system

[still knot]

Kk

[wind hazel]

when you don't have options, you use them for all armour

[slow fox]

base

[ivory sigil]

yea AZ is not a game where swipe mean win

Technically swipe can help me earn meck immediate but shjt gun 💀 and skill are those that cant be quicken with cash

[rapid tusk]

When's the maintenance meant to be finished?

[tulip tinsel]

1h 35m

[whole crypt]

how low do you need to go with cost for EX to par hard for pt/oil again

[frank phoenix]

When maintenance over

Let me iiiiiin

[trim depot]

gems for extended maintanence trust

[frank phoenix]

1$ worth of gems ain't doing much

[rain bobcat]

on god if maint is extended im not doing skins til morning

[frank phoenix]

I want to play xD

[rain bobcat]

its already 3am and im fucking tired

[rapid shard]

You just jinxed it

[frank phoenix]

5pm here,it's bearable xD

[still knot]

11pm gang

[tulip tinsel]

+1h

[frank phoenix]

Just got pinged for approx 1 more hour. Rip

[rain bobcat]

aaight im sleeping

[still knot]

Good night

[strange flame]

im gonna cry

[frank phoenix]

someone ping me when game's alive pls

[drifting patio]

Wait is the ship in the limited thing strong

[soft raft]

wdym
what "Limited thing" are you referring to?

[sullen idol]

i think he means hai chou and chang wu

[fast frigate]

is this upd new UR ship update

[tulip tinsel]

new retrofits any good or just purple junk?

[exotic wren]

they're gold junk now

[tulip tinsel]

nice

[tulip tinsel]

maint ended

wth is this event format man

[strange flame]

i thought the friedrich skin had two perspectives

[stark quiver]

Raid

[tulip tinsel]

it's so ass wtf

[stark quiver]

It’s a pretty fun format

[strange flame]

nvm i figured it out

[stark quiver]

There’s also a new valentines thing
Devs are cooking with this update

[viscid swift]

Does no one read patch notes

[stark quiver]

No?

[soft raft]

We're gacha players, what the fuck is reading amirite

[eager mulch]

I don’t

[late flame]

-# tbh if everyone read then this channel would probably be so ded

[stray crane]

just grind hard?

[rapid grail]

so from what i can understand...

• pick up to 10 botes to get their valentines day letters before feb 14
• level up a bote's sweet memories lvl. by doing regular farming
• if u use the muse or Type II versions of a ship, they'll default to the OG ship
• can only get valentines day letters for botes released between feb 14 2025 & feb 14 2026

Neat lmao. Can anyone check whats wrong abt this

[strange flame]

who is the shipgirl in the left side?

[onyx flame]

the new one aint it

[hollow gust]

The fact that older girls aren't getting new fits

[hollow gust]

Open the game and it's light pool SR ChangWu

[safe nexus]

in the event i see easy normal and hard all having 15/15 what does that mean?

[hollow gust]

Just do hard

[strange flame]

Ty

[short wagon]

whys there a 1.9gb update

[hollow gust]

Cause they are removing old event and adding the new Chinese new year girls

[short wagon]

thx

[sick kettle]

does the ex entry still consumed if you leave mid sortie?

[hollow gust]

Generally yes

[shadow oracle]

hi guys i am a newish player do i pull on this banner

[hollow gust]

I suggest not

[sick kettle]

pull 1 daily and only 1

[short wagon]

is playing on bluestacks a good idea

[gray sphinx]

I mean you could use mumu player but any of them work tbh

I play on emulator on occasion so it doesn’t burn a hole through my phone when I decide I wanna grind for 5 hours in the background

[sick kettle]

so, do i gamble for meck gun or get guaranteed gouden bp

[safe nexus]

whats the 15/15 for the event stage for?

[gray sphinx]

The first 15 runs each day gives you extra progress on the bar you see at the very bottom of your screen in the event

[shut tangle]

Can I use this new event to help me further advance my pr xp grinding?

[sweet delta]

/15runs

[odd root]

The first 15 runs you do each day give better rewards than normal. Once you hit 0/15, you can still fight, for the same number of contribution points, but the droprate of equipment blueprints is much lower. Your 15 runs reset each day, so you will get 15 more "drop-boosted" runs tomorrow. You can use challenge tickets to run "boosted" attempts when you run out of your daily amount.

[gray sphinx]

Didn’t know they had a whole ass command for that

[shut tangle]

Nice

[late flame]

~~smh i was doing it in #bot-spam ~~

[gray sphinx]

@safe nexus well now you know

[safe nexus]

thx

question now is do i get more from boosted normal or a non boosted hard?

[hollow gust]

Just take golden riggings , easiest choice ever

[rustic adder]

Is the valentines secretary locked in already?

[shadow oracle]

okay thank you

what do i save my cubes for i have so many

[tulip tinsel]

I dunno if anyone is having this same "issue", or if this is the correct channel for this, but I only had 6 of the shipgirls + the one for this year in the new valentine thingy. The 2021 shipgirl, in my case, Eugen, isn't showing up, for some reason, while my past shipgirls were. If someone knows why, thanks in advance.

[gray sphinx]

You want to keep 400 cubes for a UR event to hit hard pity in case your luck goes haywire

[shadow oracle]

i’m at 70 pity rn would that reset?

[gray sphinx]

That’s a separate pity from UR events. And UR events will not add onto that pity when those events roll around

[sick kettle]

alr im taking it just hopes that its not going to be shit like 2 of my last gold q

[shadow oracle]

Ohhh i see thank you

[somber girder]

I used Blue Stacks and Mumu and found that Mumu runs much smoother

[wraith pendant]

^

[shadow oracle]

this game is so hard to learn and no one reddit has any guides they just talk about boobs

[safe nexus]

here is way better with websites

[trim depot]

can i only designate one character at a time

[agile slate]

do we still get a valentine message on the 14th?

or is it only this valentine event now

[safe nexus]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/

[shadow oracle]

ohhh thank you

i remember the community tier list but i never saw this one

[safe nexus]

there is also some bot commands, i forgot what are they but can just find any at #bot-spam

[shadow oracle]

also would any of you guys mind helping me build a team its been so long since i played idk if anything changed

ik im supposed to have a mob fleet and boss fleet but no clue after that

[safe nexus]

any extra fleets are for opsi or specific ships for specific situations

[safe nexus]

you need helena, i think unicorn better than perseus?

[shadow oracle]

I have them too just not retrofitted

the t3 drops r too hard to get 😭

[safe nexus]

best to retrofit them since they are pretty much gonna be used no matter how long it seems

[shadow oracle]

what would my fleet comps be assuming i had both retrofitted?

ahh idk if unicorn retrofit was even out when i last played i rlly dont remember

[safe nexus]

buy from shop or beat all X-4 hard stages

[shadow oracle]

or maybe i just didnt bother to check cuz i had perseus already

[whole crypt]

just keep hitting up x-4

[shadow oracle]

yeah im doing that rn just takes so long bc i only get 3 clears a day

[whole crypt]

it'll come eventually

[short wagon]

yea i saw everyone everywhere say use mumu so i just downlaoded mumu
last time i was on bluestacks 2 years ago the game jyust stopped loading after the manjuu screeb

[whole crypt]

outside of some odd cases for some folks where mumu doesn't work well for some reason the only (stupid) comment I've heard against mumu is "oh noes my chinese backdoors"

[short wagon]

lol

[tulip tinsel]

what hull are the 2 new retrofits? and is the missile in the event better than the one in core shop?

[sharp echo]

do i just spam hard mode to farm point?

[wraith pendant]

so any idea on how interesting the 2 new ships are ? Worth pulling for or skip ?

[onyx flame]

2 cls, ying swei and chan ho

[paper timber]

I don't understand the current event much but the 10 ship girls I pick, do they have card or what?

[stable badger]

excuse me but, wtf??? the valentine thing has been set with the maintenance today?

[hollow gust]

It's 10 chances to pick a ship you will develop

[tulip tinsel]

yea

[stable badger]

fk this shit. i don't want a META of all things

[somber girder]

Where do you select the ships to put in your roster? I dont see anything in the events tab or anywhere else.

[stable badger]

...

[woven star]

Not sure what u ask but left button what on his screen and right to swap ships

And secretary should be

[paper timber]

Develop into what?

[whole crypt]

not dev, 10 chances to change the ship you want to earn sweet memories for unlocks

[night helm]

Anyone know where i can find showcase of all the secrets for the new fdg skin

[peak fable]

probably asked like 30 times alrdy, but do we full clear this event daily or just hard

[clear harbor]

Sorry, I haven't been able to keep up with AL news. So Lunar New Year event doesn't have the typical event banner? I Just pull from the Light Pool to try to get the event ships?

[ivory pawn]

Yep.

[stray vigil]

Okay, how does this valentine thing even work? Did I mess up by not switching out ? I set her to sec for max affection as usual and now she is stuck there

[whole crypt]

oh wait EX oil cap is actually viable now?

[sweet delta]

I don't understand the Valentine thing, will there be a pin with guide?

[whole crypt]

pick ship (defaults to secretary)
win fights earn points to unlock messages for ship
old ships get access to past years vday messages
ships newer than last vday get a new message
total points unlock a ring and some affinity items

you can change this ship up to 10 times during event

[sweet delta]

Pick 10 ships or pick 1 ship then farm then pick 2nd ship?

So if I picked a second ship before farming, then my account is bricked?

[tulip tinsel]

is the drawing thing timegated?

[whole crypt]

you can change back not sure how that bricks anything

[sweet delta]

How much do you farm for each ship and can you get multiple years messages ?

[stray vigil]

So I am forced to farm for her? I can't get my kearsarge chocolate?

[sweet delta]

So there's no bricking, as long as I pick the 10 ships at any time in any order, and I farm enough for each within 3 days?

[paper timber]

So, I already have Cleo Valentine card, if I change it to Gouden, would I get a card from her as well?

[agile slate]

do we still get a regular mail like in previous years too?

[whole crypt]

presumably you should, I'm running shit to check if this is a daily cap

[undone plover]

is it 10 total messages?
or 10 chances to change the ship to get 1 msg for 1 ship in the end ?

[stone sluice]

You mean you can get a free ring out of this?

[paper timber]

What about older ship that show up on Valentine screen? Dev them or not?

[whole crypt]

not sure I just stuck Nagato on first and unlocked a few years of messages I wasn't using her in earlier years

[paper timber]

Oh

[whole crypt]

game doesn't state very clearly how much unlocks what messages or how many

bottom line if you haven't swapped to your favourite secretary you can still do it now and have at least 1 day to do it, but older ships don't have new messages for this year

[boreal wagon]

every sweet memory level is one message
you can level characters beyond the amount of letters they had but there isnt much point in that

[sweet delta]

Is there hardcore Chinese player info

[sweet delta]

So 10 cards total, plus whatever you had from previous Valentine's?

[ivory pawn]

Looks like it’s a message every 200 points.

[boreal wagon]

assuming the 400 resets daily you can get 2 letters a day for however many days the event runs from just that
and the daily reward button is another letter and a half per day

[stray vigil]

Do I have to do carbinenenenee meta or can I just safely change to someone I actually care about?

[boreal wagon]

its not limited to one letter per ship

[late flame]

-# i'd like to buy a vowel gotta collect em all letters

[ivory pawn]

The 10 chances to change ship said it resets daily, so can probably get more.

[boreal wagon]

well all 3 patch notes said 10 total so i wouldnt be so sure on that

[whole crypt]

the amount of sweet memories you can earn per day seems capped?

[boreal wagon]

i believe the 400 is a daily cap yes

[whole crypt]

so you can't just keep unlocking more

[undone plover]

if someone can math the total and pin a quick guide here it would be appreciated so ppl can know what to pick

[boreal wagon]

yea you

[trim depot]

wait u can get multiple letters per ship

[agile slate]

this is so confusing

[whole crypt]

thing is again, there are no new messages for old ships this year, so there's basically no reason to do it on an old ship

[boreal wagon]

yes but there is no new letters except for the ones that didnt have any yet

[undone plover]

what if i want more letters from enty

[paper timber]

Huh, so Aegir is out this year?

[whole crypt]

is there a jah version of nimi stamp

[boreal wagon]

if you already have all ägir letters yes

[paper timber]

Do we have a list of which ship getting a new card?

[whole crypt]

ships that released after last vday

[boreal wagon]

any ship released after Valetines last year

[paper timber]

I have none, I was planning this year to be her year

[trim depot]

will the second one for example gouden be the same or different

[boreal wagon]

then you can grind all of her letters

[whole crypt]

there's no second one, there's only one

[ivory pawn]

Gouden will have one letter that’s also new.

[whole crypt]

new ships get one 2026 message
old ships can get up to all previous years' messages you have missed

[late flame]

just time travel one year forward

[trim depot]

ok ic now

[whole crypt]

and CN has been complaining a bit about them ditching the messages for old ships

[paper timber]

Oh, so we don't need to pick one ship for one card but we can grind for all of them in theory?

[boreal wagon]

in theory

in practice there is caps

[ivory pawn]

There’s probably a hard cap to how many we can grind, we just don’t know what the cap is atm.

[paper timber]

Well, I already have Cleo, time to grind for Gouden. It is for 2 days, right? or 3?

[stray vigil]

I guess I'm stuck with m4 carvineemeneksw8 meta

[boreal wagon]

im not sure what your day question is

[glass quest]

What is the „best“ submarine trio to make use of?

[whole crypt]

400 memories per day which is what, 4 message/day at most?

[boreal wagon]

900 per day
the daily rewards button is 500

[ivory pawn]

You get 10 swaps (maybe per day), if you want just swap.

[paper timber]

The event said day 12/2-14/2, I want to know if it is possible to grind after 14/2

[late flame]

404, archerfish, flasher

[whole crypt]

I just dumped everything on Nagato so far and I'm fairly sure I'm way overcapped

[stray vigil]

I swapped to kearsarge as you can see. I guess she'll be there staining my list.

[boreal wagon]

no the event ends after valentines

[paper timber]

So we get 500 as daily and 400 as cap per day?

[whole crypt]

any idea what those bars actually indicate

[boreal wagon]

assuming the 400 is daily which is unclear atm yes

[boreal wagon]

your step to the next level ofc lol

[ivory pawn]

Yeah, is what it is.

[late flame]

overcapped on Cleo before i realised i could swap ships lul

[whole crypt]

well Nagato's hasn't moved so I assuming I'm already completed capped out on her or something

[boreal wagon]

are you at 400/400 for the day

[whole crypt]

800/800, JP

[paper timber]

Last question, if I change secretary now, would she show up in the next daily reward so I can insta get her card? Or I have to change it in event screen instead?

[boreal wagon]

yea it only goes up if you earn sweet memories with her selected so it cant move until that resets

[ivory pawn]

Should be the latter.

[paper timber]

I didn't know about the cap so about 30 of them was waste on lvl 2 Cleo

[whole crypt]

thing is I should already have all her messages

[boreal wagon]

how many messages did u have from previous years

[whole crypt]

last 2 years I think? or 3

[boreal wagon]

did u grind memories with her selected?

[whole crypt]

yeh for 2 days worth

[paper timber]

Man, I just want a new Valentine card, why are Manjuu come up with this overcomplicated system

[boreal wagon]

if you had 2 and grinded 800 on her then she should be at level 6 lol

[whole crypt]

just checked I have mail from her for 23 24 and 25

[boreal wagon]

then she should be at 7 if all 800 went towards her, im not aware of some per character limit

[whole crypt]

weird shit

[ivory pawn]

She clearly got some points as indicated by the bar.

Does her level 4 cost more than 200 points for some reason?

[boreal wagon]

it shouldnt

but then again 🍝

[whole crypt]

ah well not like I can find anything out here before next day change

[paper timber]

Wait, does the event hard stage increase Affinity?

[whole crypt]

they all do

but standard affinity rules apply so it's pretty dogshit

[paper timber]

Great, time to grind Sub aff

[boreal wagon]

did u press the daily reward button yet cuz i noticed u said 800/800

[whole crypt]

ah yes it's good for subs

[boreal wagon]

the button is another 500 per day

[paper timber]

Ehh, I am grind sub aff, I rather dogshit than none at all

[boreal wagon]

did u have a daily reset already or why is urs max 800

[whole crypt]

yeh it's day 2 for JP already

[boreal wagon]

i see

[whole crypt]

considering all 800 should have gone to Nagato being stuck at 100 on lv3 is weird as all hell

[paper timber]

Wait, Valentine card don't show up in Items anymore

[whole crypt]

yes they changed the whole system there's no more mail and items

[boreal wagon]

well 100 on level 3 would be exactly one daily reward button

[paper timber]

[whole crypt]

yes but you also get the points from grinding and I have more than 1 day of daily reward

[boreal wagon]

but it is indeed weird, not sure if u have tried relogging yet

[paper timber]

What the fuck is happening with Manjuu?

[ivory pawn]

And level 4 on Renown would be exactly enough for the other 800.

[late flame]

🍝

[whole crypt]

🍝 indeed

[boreal wagon]

well i think he had 4 letters from renown from past years

[whole crypt]

the 3 was also already on Nagato for that matter because she had my last 3 years

the points and levels are just all wonky

[boreal wagon]

hm maybe jp didnt fix the bug that made EN extend

and your points just vaporized into thin air

[whole crypt]

oh EN extended?

[paper timber]

Ugh, do we have a list of anyone whose getting a new card?

[late flame]

Yep

[whole crypt]

let me check weibo

[late flame]

new furniture in 3d dorm also* not appearing after i bought em smh

[whole crypt]

CN had a patch it seems there was something else also broken?

[boreal wagon]

anyone released after or on last years February 14th if u need a list by dates: https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/ships?sortType=date

[whole crypt]

guess that patch isn't coming to JP till tomorrow

[tired forge]

welp, my Biscuit is stuck at 98/200 today because I didnt realize there was a farming cap and most of the points went to Shinano

[paper timber]

Oh, so Francesco have a new card, nice

[late flame]

cope for hotfix

[short wagon]

this keeps happening on mumu

[boreal wagon]

idk that very patch touched a lot of love letter stuff tho so your points probably vaporized bc jp hasnt fixed it yet

[short wagon]

do i need network bridge mode?

[whole crypt]

probably, but the CN patch was also live after midnight so their day 1 points probably had similar problems

[boreal wagon]

prolly

[stable badger]

318 is max amount of points per run, for EX event

[whole crypt]

will have to wait to see how they "fix" after patch

theoretical max is 320 but it's never going to hit it because it somehow calcs based on HP before last hit or some shit

[boreal wagon]

CN made a whole ass post about the issues with the whole system that is like 3 paragraphs long

[whole crypt]

with a large enough last hit on enough HP left you can be stuck with like 290+ on a kill

[ruby grotto]

should we be clearing easy normal and hard 15x a day? or just hard 15x a day?

[whole crypt]

yeh I was just reading it

it wasn't about the system specifically

[stable badger]

you can run Hard a million times a day

[forest palm]

they really overcomplicated the valentine's stuff, huh?

[whole crypt]

that post was mostly a "sorry we fucked up by not giving you new vday messages" than about the new system

also something broken about 2018 vday messages

[late flame]

-# also no apologems for maint extension smh

[paper timber]

Does the 10 pick reset each day or I only have 10 chance?

[boreal wagon]

game says daily, patch notes all say total

idk if nnt swapped before his day reset and can say which of the 2 it is

[paper timber]

[ruby grotto]

but is it efficient without the 15 times bonus reward? i.e. if i can just do 15x a day and get all rewards by end of event then there's no point running more?

[paper timber]

It is oil efficient

[whole crypt]

assume total
not like you have enough points to unlock for 10 characters anyway

[tired stream]

do you do the 10 swaps first? or need to level them one at a time?

[boreal wagon]

one at a time

[stable badger]

for these, Yes

[whole crypt]

you need to do a bit more than 15 hard to reach final milestone

[paper timber]

Yeah but changing them every day is something I consider a chore

[keen flower]

any reason not to do more than 15/day?

[boreal wagon]

doing more still gives event points

[whole crypt]

why would you want to change everyday you just change once to the character you want to unlock messages and that's it

[boreal wagon]

and you need to do more than 15/day to keep up with milestones

[whole crypt]

you're not changing again until you want messages for a different character

[forest palm]

Roon Gun of all things

[paper timber]

I mean, you need 200 to unlock one, it is 400 daily for one and change to get 2 more each day

[ruby grotto]

should we be doing normal and easy to take advantage of their 15x daily bonus reward or is it hard all the way

[late flame]

ngl it would be nice if there was a prompt to confirm before swapping ships

[whole crypt]

yes but it also depends on how many messages you want/need to unlock on one ship because if you're doing old ships they can have multiple messages you need to go through

[agile slate]

is this 400 daily cap per ship?

[boreal wagon]

no

[whole crypt]

no it's shared

[agile slate]

[whole crypt]

so once you cap out that day swapping doesn't do anything

[agile slate]

why did they even do this

[boreal wagon]

im pretty sure all the 15 bonuses do is affect drop rates of everything but event currency which for <hard you dont care about anyway

i dont quite remember or care how raids work but the event pts should be the same with and without

[agile slate]

wait after the hotfix its now 20

[soft raft]

Dont bother with Normal and Easy if you can do Hard

[whole crypt]

work backwards from milestone you want to hit and see how many runs you need, even just hitting gold plates at 38k takes more than just running 15 hard

[boreal wagon]

yeah bc CN realized they communicated the whole system bad so they doubled our swaps

[whole crypt]

but you should have enough from doing hard + EX assuming you can kill EX

[agile slate]

they gotta remove the cap then whats the point if you cant complete 19 ships

[whole crypt]

if you want 48k for prints then you'll probably need a bit more still

because they never intended for you to complete 19 ships?

or 10 for that matter

[agile slate]

why not

[boreal wagon]

because they have to rerun this system next year

[agile slate]

we will get way more than 20 ships per year anyway

just let people get some messages

[whole crypt]

I don't think the intention was to let you unlock as many as you want

if you think that's a bad idea then #game-feedback or go rant on weibo
