[brave blade]

so, we don't get a gift on the mail anymore?

[eternal basalt]

So I got 4 messages from Shimakaze for my 800 points, now back to Nagato since 4 is the max right?

[undone plover]

They are basically the same
Flandre gun is slightly faster so that is why I recommend 2 in the image guide
It could help u land 4th salvo better in meta fights

[undone plover]

I believe so
Unless u want her medal
Apparently there is also more “medals” if u reach level 11 or sth

#gameplay-help message

[eternal basalt]

Yeah, I care more for the messages

[brave blade]

at least i got the 2025 gift from tosa last year

[late flame]

such hassle
much obtuse

[orchid lake]

Hello guys, if I bought this does that mean I won't do the developments missions?

[eternal basalt]

For one PR4 ship, yes

[orchid lake]

Okkkk

[eternal basalt]

Make sure to buy the pack with 343 BPs

[versed forum]

will lvl15 give valentine gifts? idk where i can get it the Chinese one is easy to find

[eternal basalt]

5-10-15-20

Click the magnifier glass]

[ivory sigil]

im getting it then

[versed forum]

no i mean these forgot how i get it maybe after the event ends?

[inner delta]

they changed how valentine event work

[whole crypt]

translation: they fucked up valentine's day event

[grizzled sundial]

I don't know , i get to see 20 shipgirl valentine letter seems not to be a bad deal

[whole crypt]

even considering it in its working state there's still the issue that we'll no longer get new messages for old ships

[eternal basalt]

She's right there on your last screenshot, no?

[eternal basalt]

Does infact NOT work for 20 girls

[whole crypt]

more like 2-3

[eternal basalt]

(if we could give those 1500 to girls we want instead of 1, it could work, but alas)

[onyx flame]

9 different girl max

[eternal basalt]

With EXTREME min-maxing... does a point spend over count to that girl and be lost on grinding or not?

[grizzled sundial]

i dunno , i am on 5th girl.

[whole crypt]

if you do exactly 1 message per girl I guess

my game is still broken

[ivory pawn]

If you could do 1 message per girl, you could do up to 13.

Unfortunately, you can’t.

The most is 9 because of the 500 daily.

[onyx flame]

it increases over time so its 500, 800, 1500

so its uh 1 message for 6 girls, 2 message for 1, 4 message for 1 and 7 for 1

[eternal basalt]

It's 400 daily grinding

[whole crypt]

wait Nagato META only gets 1 message for this year doesn't she

[harsh nest]

I'm basically still grinding for Yorktown META

[woven star]

Idk instead of one message from 1 girl we get few messages and can toss them and ppls still crying that smthing gone wrong

[ivory pawn]

Huh, neat. Still maxes at 9 girls, but neat.

[eternal basalt]

She onlyy has the 2025 message, yes

[ivory sigil]

Do i need to have enterprise to get Manjuu?

[whole crypt]

when was her showdown

[onyx flame]

sep 2024

[whole crypt]

ah well I'll save the rest for bulin then

need to get the damn fix first though

[woven star]

Btw where I can look at release date of every ship? Can't find release date on wiki

[whole crypt]

check the event it was added with, should be linked on the ship's page

[onyx flame]

or just use aldb

[woven star]

Actually I should choose event and look at this event first date. But this looks so dum

Oh. Let me check aldb. True

I got only 3 messages from Musashi. Seems it's her cap

[eternal basalt]

2023, 2024 and 2025 yes

[woven star]

So. Anyone calculated how many year this valentine type event should be if we'll decide to get all letters from all girls?

[eternal basalt]

[ship girls * days] - 2 a day from 400 daily

[whole crypt]

even if you could get all messages for 10 girls each year we have over 600 unique ships

[eternal basalt]

And more than 10 new each year

[woven star]

Yeah. I thought smthing same. Over 70 years

[whole crypt]

no never

as hassat said we also get more than 10 new ships each year so you'll take like 60+ years to cover existing ships and then there'll be like another couple hundred new ships

[woven star]

Yeah. "Son, I give it to you hard family business to get all valentine's messages from all girls "

[true notch]

Perchance is there a pin for island planner where to catch the fishes?

[woven star]

https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1422463299877867540

[true notch]

Many thanks.

[mossy pilot]

Sorry if this was asked and answered already but What’s the best option for the Spring Festival Invitation?

[wheat locust]

I hit a level wall should I auto farm the event?

[whole crypt]

if you can run the hard fight just repeat that for a bit

[eternal basalt]

Do you have Fu Shun?

[mossy pilot]

No. Not yet

[wheat locust]

ye i can clear it pretty easily i cant progress to chapter 7 story it wants lv60 in currently at lv57

[eternal basalt]

Then pick her, the rest are in the pools

[whole crypt]

then repeat the stage for XP, shit stage but at least it has oil cap

[wheat locust]

aight, thank you

[iron hare]

Is there a level cap? Yamashiro is already at lvl 10. Did i just wasted 3 levels because of this dumb system?

[ivory sigil]

Thank you, after listened i have decide to +13 my 1st flandre gun and my 1st white bullet aux

After that i tried to do the Ex and... Kotori does score better 244 score

But she activate the final salvo at 00:00 and boss left

How to make she shot faster? Should i try to +11 +12 my rainbow Table to make her hit faster?

[wind hazel]

it's the same reload reduction +10 or +13

you get higher hit fp though

[undone plover]

altho +13 UR table is 100% worth

[ivory sigil]

I upgrade once and my score dropped by 10

[undone plover]

HECLP ticket doubles choco if anyone asks later

[wind hazel]

lol

[onyx flame]

there no level cap per say but there is a max no of messages you can get from 1 girl, additional every 10 levels you get special medal you can display on your profile

[fiery swan]

are the retrofits any good especially if i get their aug too?

[eternal basalt]

They both have augs Aux? They have no aug

[fiery swan]

but i saw ying swei and chao ho aug just now

a giant red fan and a giant blue paintbrush and they're right next to each other

[wind hazel]

those are aux

[eternal basalt]

Those are aux, but yeah they have augs too

[wooden osprey]

i can't just get enough of graf zeppelin skin, man i been thirsty, finally after aging quite a bit

[fiery swan]

okay what

What in the world are these things then

[eternal basalt]

Yes, but they also get aux this event. In the fireworks event

[tulip tinsel]

what plane should i give to cow on hard mode event

[undone plover]

normal flapjack + wyvern/breguet should work fine i think

[mossy pilot]

Sorry to be a bother. I’m still new to the game. After I pick her, how do I collect her?

[wind hazel]

you invite her and she will be in your dock

[undone plover]

u pick her like this and hit invite
then she should go to your dock
Fu shun will need retro item and I dont see it in shop (is it rerunning this event?)
so maybe dont decide yet
just hold on to the selector if u havent already

[rapid grail]

oh wait we already got retrofit/s for some of the chinese botes right chat

[forest palm]

Chao Ho, and Ying Swei got retrofits with this update

[spark patio]

can I ask how can I grind shipgirls's valentines letters?

[eternal basalt]

They don't need an item for their retro like the DDG's do

[undone plover]

EVENT IS 3 DAYS (14/02 is the last day)

select the girl u want in the valentine event screen
u can also change who u pick up to 20 times (total i believe)

1- you can give a one time daily bonus (given to 1 girl full cant be divided)
day 1 500
day 2 800
day 3 1500

2- u can get 400 sweet memories per day from sortie
sortie anywhere for example event stages to get pts
event = 2, 4, 6 pts per sortie for easy, medium, hard maps
campaign ch12 = 32 pts
campaign ch13 = 34 pts
sortie with the selected girl = double pts

200 pts = 1 level = 1 msg
msg depends on shipgirl history
For example enterprise has 7 messages HOWEVER some year 1 girls (like enterprise) in EN seem to have 1 extra msg (translated from CN)

in addition to msges u also get a "medal" for each girl who reaches level 1 at least (200 pts)

you get an upgraded medal at levels 11 and level 21 and level 31 etc up to level 51 it seems (max maybe level 60?) so u can have 6 total medals per shipgirl
u can showcase the medals in your profile page like this

if anyone sees anything wrong with this let me know so i can update it pls 🙏
or if u have extra info

[spark patio]

how can i know if i choosed shipgirls to get double from sorting or not?

[onyx flame]

if they are in your fleet when you sortie you get double

[onyx flame]

the 8 message one is legit, laffey got 8 messages and is at 10 rn

[undone plover]

like this for example
i have enterprise selected

If i sortie in ch12 i will get 32 pts for her
if I sortie in ch12 WITH ENTERPRISE i will get 64 pts
i have 800/800 since I already farmed the 400 pts for today

[undone plover]

so the extra chinese msg is there correct?

[onyx flame]

yea in fact it the one in the ss, i cross check the wiki quotes for en and its not listed (thou cn quotes also dont seem to have it but its missing 2020 one)

[pliant tiger]

So there is no cap, right?

[onyx flame]

define cap, there a max no of message you can get from a ship girl, thou there no level cap for it

[undone plover]

i see good to know thanks

[pliant tiger]

as to how many sweey memories you can get per day from farming

[onyx flame]

there is

[plain saffron]

is it 10 or 20

[undone plover]

there is a cap
400 pts is max u can farm per day
and 800 today for the "daily bonus"

[whole crypt]

finally fixed

[eternal basalt]

We don't have 2019 from girls that released on EN post-feb 2019, they are in this event

[onyx flame]

you can change up to 20 times, but only up to 9 diff girls will give message due to how the stupid daily ones are given

[undone plover]

also assuming u swap at 200 pts when u grind
if u reach 204 with one girl that is another medal/msg gone

[plain saffron]

are the stuff we get the usual valentine lines?

[pliant tiger]

I already backread that you can get through farming and dailies, so I was curious to know if it would be worth it to get my Trieste to X to get a newer character medal like I am seeing you get another for going overboard into 10

do they get shiny compared to the others that you get for simply having them at lvl 1?

[onyx flame]

you have to get it to 11 to get the new frame for the medal

[pliant tiger]

ah, I see

[undone plover]

i dont think u get another medal
just your existing medal is "upgraded"
u can see it in nntktt's screenshot here

[onyx flame]

the frames

[undone plover]

what was the issue and what was fixed

[onyx flame]

well

[eternal basalt]

They get 2 medals

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/468804193646542849/1471820758907879578/image.png?ex=69905366&is=698f01e6&hm=110a989ce51e0122d5dabcdbbf5a2928d423a20508bb2db28581c54024704b49

[undone plover]

yes but u also get a medal u can showcase in profile for anyone who gets to level 1 (which is 200 pts)
and that medal can be upgraded if u reach level 11 with the girl
each level = 1 msg and it seems year 1 ships also get another letter to compenstate for EN having 1 less valentine

[whole crypt]

this was what it looked like until 10 minutes ago

for that matter my medals look fucked too ❤️

[onyx flame]

one thing fixed, another broken 🍝

[undone plover]

wait do u have 2 nagato medals or not

[pliant tiger]

multiple years

[whole crypt]

I don't

[undone plover]

so is it bugged or is hassat wrong?

[whole crypt]

I didn't even have a single medal before the fix I think

[eternal basalt]

Do you have it to display just the max?

[pliant tiger]

ah, yeah, this is the image of why I asked newer medal instead of upgrade

[whole crypt]

oh there we go

[wise finch]

How many valetine's story does a character have?

[spark patio]

can i equip those 2 at the same time

[onyx flame]

depends on how old the character is

[whole crypt]

so these are what, 2 sets of frames?

[undone plover]

depends when they were released
if they released after february 2020 for example they should have 1 for 2021 2022 2023 2024 and 2025 so 5 total like shinano for example
u can check wiki for them but double check for ships released in 2019
they get another letter translated from CN

[wise finch]

which wiki are you talking about? I can't seem to find any info on valetine stories or character release dates

[eternal basalt]

Valentines quotes are at quotes, release at the events date

[wise finch]

oh ok thank you

[undone plover]

u can check jean bart here for example
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Jean_Bart

drop history shows iris of light event https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Iris_of_Light_and_Dark
which means she released june 2019 on EN
click quotes page https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Jean_Bart/Quotes
u see she has 6 msges
but technically I think she should have 1 extra msg from CN
but I cant verify this tbh until tomorrow

[eternal basalt]

I got an extra message on Nagato

[whole crypt]

is this 2 sets of medal frames or is it just 1 up to 6 as you get more levels

[ivory sigil]

Summary

Select 1 ship in valentine event
For Ship showing 0/200
-If tap claim daily reward
She become 200/200 aka unlock valentine letter and gain 1 lvl
-if not tap claim daily reward
She stay 0/200, and if you sorties you gain point, put her in your sortie fleet, the point increase doubled

Tapped her at 200/200 gain 1 lvl and get u the letter and set the number back to 0/200
Continue sorties or tap daily reward to reach 200/200 again increase that ship lvl, it will unlock the remaining letter that were once happen during the past Valentine event as well

Only ship that release before 2025 valentine have past letter, ship that appear beyond that only had 1 letter
Check this list for detailed ship: #al-general message

The valentine medal thingy, u can read the one other just wrote

[eternal basalt]

She gets 800 points today with daily reward, apparently 1500 tommorrow

[ivory sigil]

Huh i didnt able to reach 400 pts cap yesterday, does it mean today the cap is continue from where i let off yesterday? Or it renew as 0/800 ?

[plain saffron]

huh so technically we get way more lines than usual right? 20 per ship

[eternal basalt]

Was 400/800 for me this morning, but the daily gets raised

[whole crypt]

what's memory level vs medal frame progression

[undone plover]

what does it say

[trail delta]

has the action not been added yet?`where do i use these?

[eternal basalt]

You don't... point Milestones

[whole crypt]

there's no auction that's just the event name

[plain saffron]

it's milestone for this

[onyx flame]

how you get 20 per ship, but yes you can technically get 20 messages from this event spread out accoss 9 ships if you finesse it from day 1, 1 message for 6 girls, 2 message for 1, 4 message for 1 and 7 msg for 1

[trail delta]

right... brain fart my bad

[plain saffron]

i'm still lost with this valentine event, clicking around and i get 3 saratoga gifts

[undone plover]

no
the lines stay the same
technically we get 1 more line for those year 1 ships who missed the first valentine it seems like laffey and enty

there is 4000 total pts in the event
how u divide them up to u

if u dont mess it up u can unlock total 9 medals and 20 lines this year
each 200 pt = 1 potential line (if the ship has a line available)
for example going to 2000 pts on enty u get 10 levels and 8 lines not 10 levels and 10 lines

[twin bronze]

Does anyone know what is this level is for?

[whole crypt]

what levels are the medal progression at

[undone plover]

i think they said level 2 medal is at level 11

[plain saffron]

there's like valentine letter here until i opened it, and there's 3 somehow

[eternal basalt]

I mean they are set to level 60, but... do we get that many lines in 2106?

[plain saffron]

or is it the compensation

[undone plover]

intimacy level or sth i guess
doesnt mean much
level 11 should upgrade the medal or give u another trafalger medal i still dont know which
trafalger will have 1 line anyway so extra levels until level 11 dont unlock much
but it is still extra levels

[whole crypt]

screw this we ball

[plain saffron]

what's the roman numeral there even represent

[forest palm]

XIII

[sullen idol]

how useless r these dds?

[whole crypt]

the memory level but looks like they stop using roman numerals after 10

[plain saffron]

lol

so is this 2 or 11

[undone plover]

fu shun is good after retro
the rest are useless

[plain saffron]

how my laffery is 2 but sara is 1 tf

[whole crypt]

21

[eternal basalt]

There is no retro fu shun item available atm though

[undone plover]

sara here has 300 pts
laffey has 400

[plain saffron]

i was about to ask, but i assume no datamine for these info because banned?

[forest palm]

I → V → X → XX → L(50) → C(100)
there's numerals like 2 more that I can't remember

[undone plover]

how did u use the daily bonus?
and the daily farm?

[plain saffron]

where the pts comes from

bcs i have sara on display wtf yostar give me back my points

[undone plover]

some could be old from previous valentine
each msg should be 200 pts

for current event
400 per day from sortie (like when u farm trust on loli ships)

500 one time bonus yesterday (bulk cant be split)
800 today
1500 tomorrow

[whole crypt]

I'm going to fathom a guess these take lv30+ or some shit

[plain saffron]

when i opened the event it ask to "unlock" something then i choose sara

[whole crypt]

so next year

[undone plover]

that is what they said
I dont think we have any confirmation from anyone

[forest palm]

for like 1 ship?

[undone plover]

can u show the event page?

[plain saffron]

i could find out but i need to know will it get me banned first

[whole crypt]

whatever I'm putting the rest of the points this year into bulin

[onyx flame]

i mean datamining has been reallowed already for a while hasnt it

[plain saffron]

with asterisk

[undone plover]

who did u give the 800 from today to?

[woven star]

Datamine has smooth rules. So...

[plain saffron]

how do i know because from the UI idk which clicking does what

[plain saffron]

also what this does? it have 0 explanation

[eternal basalt]

Seems it gave 800 points to Saratoga

[undone plover]

yeah i think u used it on sara u just havent unlocked the msges yet

[eternal basalt]

Click on Sara in bottom left

[onyx flame]

wonder if the ui is bugged for yours

[eternal basalt]

Relog, it says level 13, Sara must be level 10

[woven star]

Seems so

[plain saffron]

wanna bet it's 11

[twin bronze]

Umm... Is it possible to reach lvl30 within the event duration? Especially when it caps at 400 per day

[plain saffron]

still lvl 1

i gonna restart the game instead

[undone plover]

is your laffey 11?
can u click msges here and go to laffey and see how many msges u have

[onyx flame]

your hard capped since the max no of points available is 4000 which is 20 levels
400 for 3 days
500/800/1500 for daily

[eternal basalt]

The level 21 above used up all 3 days

[keen owl]

1 I, 2 II 3 III, 4 IV, 5 V, 6 VI,7 VII, 8 VIII, 9 IX, 10 X, 11 XI, 12XII,13 XIII,14XIV,15 XV, 16 XVI,17 XVII,18 XVIII,19 XIX, 20 XX, 30 XXX, 40XL, 50L, 60LX, 70LXX, 80 LXXX, 90XC, 100C, 400CD, 500D, 900CM, 1000M

[woven star]

10. I push Musi from beginning

[plain saffron]

is there anyone with lvl above 10 yet

for EN? and it shows normal numeral?

[eternal basalt]

It didn't before a patch

[keen owl]

How do u even increase the number?

[eternal basalt]

Expect we get it later

[plain saffron]

i'm guessing it's 11 but they don't code it and it shows 1, but since it seems to work hmm

[woven star]

this 11

[onyx flame]

give them more sweet memories

[ivory sigil]

Yesterday i saw it as ⏸️ pause button

[plain saffron]

still same lvl

so sweet memories level is the total lvl right?

or is it from other sources

[red sapphire]

How good are new ships/retrofits?

[onyx flame]

every 200 sweet memories = 1 level on the character

[plain saffron]

including this?

[ivory sigil]

they are for the funz

[onyx flame]

that one is the combined level of the characters

[plain saffron]

i'm guessing because i didn't open the event page, it counts the total level, but somehow only apply the today total points on my ships once i opened the event page?

[red sapphire]

Ahh okay thanks

[plain saffron]

because how tf i have lvl 13 but only 2 + 1

[eternal basalt]

By having a levekl 10 Saratoga

[plain saffron]

but 2 plus 10 is 13

[onyx flame]

it includes previous valentine messages, since my ning hai comes from the old 2019 valentine one

[eternal basalt]

Level 9 Saratoga

[woven star]

0lvl)

[plain saffron]

so old messages counts towareds total but not on ship?

where's my saratoga's lvl yostar

[onyx flame]

well it should, since my ning hai is level 1 but i havent put any sweet memories on her

[plain saffron]

i'll just farm and hope i get more frame

[ivory sigil]

Add her to the list yet maybe ?

[woven star]

btw did you open messages in archive?

[plain saffron]

yes

3 of them

the one with oath like animation right

[eternal basalt]

Then she must be level 3, did you do this already #gameplay-help message ?

[plain saffron]

yes i choose sara on both

[eternal basalt]

Nagato and Shimikaze new, the rest all old

[plain saffron]

wait it choose or preloaded i forgot
should've took a pic

[woven star]

and one more... put Sara to secretary if not

[plain saffron]

but sara anyway because no way i choose laffey

is it because i have 5 sara as secretary

[woven star]

you said 5... hm

[onyx flame]

perchance, some one ran into an issue earlier where they were using balti muse but dont have og balti and their medal wasnt displaying

[plain saffron]

my alt works fine hmm

i'll come back after getting lvl 12

[fiery swan]

Are the new retrofits good

[eternal basalt]

There is a tutorial for Operation Valentine now... just 2 days late

[whole crypt]

I'm just (not) amused that they decided to not extend at all even after that bs

[hushed delta]

what is that item? how are you level 16 in sweet memories?

[eternal basalt]

Been playing since 2020

And the item is one of those coins for 5 affection from the Island

[hushed delta]

with a UR background?

[warm phoenix]

is it ingame?

[hushed delta]

ok but I'm only level 14 in "sweet memories" and I've already capped points

[eternal basalt]

10 from this year, 6 levels from past valentines

[plain saffron]

so it is lvl 11

[hardy anchor]

How are people receiving medals from the Valentine’s Day event? Do you just give a ship a ton of points?

[undone plover]

200 pts is enough to get to level 1 and unlock 1 medal

[eternal basalt]

Medals means NO messages.

[undone plover]

well 1 medal is at least 1 msg as well

[plain saffron]

what's the breakpoint for medals

[eternal basalt]

1-10-20-30-40-50

[undone plover]

u should have 2 medals or an upgraded medal for sara now
actually can u clarify idt anyone confirmed

can u put 2 sara on your profile banner?

[plain saffron]

2

[undone plover]

[hardy anchor]

Oh they just sent an in game update with instructions

[plain saffron]

2

[eternal basalt]

Someone already posted having 3 nagato medals before

[plain saffron]

also they fucked the profile UI now

[undone plover]

ah I must have missed it then but good to know

[plain saffron]

Collecti, sasuga yostar

[undone plover]

sry meant to reply to hassat

[onyx flame]

🍝 fix one thing break another

[hushed delta]

this event is worse every minute

[onyx flame]

handbook broke again?

[plain saffron]

elaborate

[green drift]

can someone explain how the valentine event works???

for some reason i cant open the wiki page

[onyx flame]

red exclamation and clicking on it does nothing

[plain saffron]

btw i assume my other lvl2 laffey is from old valentine?

[eternal basalt]

Cause there IS no wiki page

[plain saffron]

idk why they don't just say what lvl the message unlocks at isntead of putting "certain" fucking everywhere

[hushed delta]

how do you get to level 50 in 3 days

[inland shoal]

You don't

[plain saffron]

btw is it also chinese on new main UI?

[hushed delta]

the what is this level 30-40-50 portrait thing

[inland shoal]

It's long term game engagement, you can unlock those new medals in a few years

[inland shoal]

No

[plain saffron]

so they prob didn't realize

[hushed delta]

in a few years only in this specific month and time window, located entirely in your kitchen

[tulip thorn]

Need helperino here :c #1471615532548489271

[eternal basalt]

It's 200

[plain saffron]

lvl 200

[whole crypt]

200 points, 1 level

[green drift]

it is really only for 2 days?

if it is, then how we even get to lvl 56???

[onyx flame]

this

[plain saffron]

also is it just me or claim rewards resetted

[eternal basalt]

No, 200 points one letter

[plain saffron]

*daily rewards

[inland shoal]

Wtf why does it say 10?

[onyx flame]

its for 3 days and you cna only get to 20 cause its hard capped, so if you want the max one you need to do it over like 3 years

[undone plover]

mine on EN hasnt

[plain saffron]

they abandoned roman numerals in latest patch

[onyx flame]

idk but i got kicked out of the game for a mini patch and the roman numeral is gone now

[undone plover]

wait I just got update now will check on login

[inland shoal]

Technically you can get to 27 ig

[eternal basalt]

3 days, and as said, YOU DON'T

[whole crypt]

come back next year

[plain saffron]

and my lvl 11 sara shows as 1 and there's a whole story about that

[green drift]

then why the heck they show lvl 56 portrait???

geez

[whole crypt]

to tell you it exists so you come back to get it next year

[hushed delta]

I'm just going to pretend this event never happened, same as the island

[inland shoal]

To keep you playing for the next 2 years ofc

[undone plover]

I dont think u can even get it next year

[plain saffron]

but don't you love your wife

[onyx flame]

it take at least 3 years assuming from zero

[undone plover]

next year u can reach max 47 if u have been focusing a single girl for 7 years now
unless they change the pts

[green drift]

so this is the valentine event going foward huh

understood

[whole crypt]

depends on how many days/points they give us next year

[eternal basalt]

Someone got 0-21 from CN

[whole crypt]

for the record next vday is a Sunday so if they keep the exact same scheduling we'll have 4 days instead of 3

[onyx flame]

handbook broke again thou 😔

[eternal basalt]

3000 for one girl

[plain saffron]

here i claimed

[plain saffron]

after patch i had it again, wtf

[undone plover]

i checked and I def didnt get it
did u miss yesterday's?
maybe it stacks if u miss it

[whole crypt]

[green drift]

how much gems we can get from the lunar new year event?

[plain saffron]

i just opened it today so yes

[whole crypt]

oh there's more rings?

[eternal basalt]

Seems you got bugged, now unbugged

[whole crypt]

not that I think we can reach lv30 this year?

[eternal basalt]

300

[onyx flame]

shame we dont get the depot items but hey more free rings

[plain saffron]

ouh so it shows 1 up than you have isntead of all

[onyx flame]

it be next year for that

[green drift]

15 dock spaces huh

[plain saffron]

dammit due to technicallity that we can't actually see it ingame i can't datamine it

[sharp furnace]

how do you raise levels? by using them?

[eternal basalt]

By the event

[whole crypt]

it's just the sum of the memories levels you earn with your ships

[plain saffron]

my alt also got another daily rewards, so i guess they do stack, but need to relog to claim again

[whole crypt]

or something like that

[plain saffron]

so you can speedrun on last day

[eternal basalt]

1500, lots of mem levels, terrible for messages

[plain saffron]

just read wiki

[eternal basalt]

The non-existing page? Oh, for messages

[glass aurora]

Can I just get this one since I really need aircraft carriers? Or is there a much better option that is really strong?

[hushed delta]

Centaur is a stronger CV

[eternal basalt]

Still missing the new 2019 ones

[eternal basalt]

Do you have Fu Shun?

[plain saffron]

after doing some AI calculation i'm guessing the total is 120 levels

[eternal basalt]

Everyone is in the pool but her

[whole crypt]

great for medal frame

[glass aurora]

No, don’t remember pulling her anyway

[plain saffron]

and estimated total of 5 rings

[whole crypt]

fu shun is not in any build pools

[eternal basalt]

Can't pull her

[whole crypt]

she's only ever been available through CNY
same for An Shan who's currently dead in a ditch

[glass aurora]

Then no, this is my first ever one of these. I started right near the end of the laffey II and Guam event

[hushed delta]

Retrofit Fu Shun is incredibly strong, cheapest oil wise, I use her to solo every event

[onyx flame]

her retro item is now where to be found rn but i still grab her first at least

[undone plover]

I would just hold on to the selector
Fu shun could be added to guild shop

[hushed delta]

oh, I thought her retro item was in the proto shop

[eternal basalt]

Nextvweek patch, so hold for that

[undone plover]

Should be eventually just not yet

[whole crypt]

upcoming on JP only mentioned new skins so I won't hold my breath for fu shun item or an shan

[hushed delta]

An Shan's item is in the proto shop

[whole crypt]

no An Shan the ship

[glass aurora]

The issue is I have so little cv’s my only one that is “usable” is unicorn. I’m running double BB

[eternal basalt]

26th UR event. Might use planes pool

[onyx flame]

cant be that unlucky that your medal shop hasnt rotated in any cv

[whole crypt]

even then there's always Independence and Saratoga

[undone plover]

Get independence if u have spare coredata

[glass aurora]

2 medal shops so far, both were BB and SS

[vagrant gale]

what level does this affection thing need to get something permanent for the inventory?

[glass aurora]

I’m saving for that rn

[eternal basalt]

You get nothing

[vagrant gale]

so my streak of dommy mommies sitting in my inventory is ruined

[woven star]

Hwah Jah is in list?

[onyx flame]

oh btw here is feb medal shop for all da servers if any green name is around

[undone plover]

I think the inventory stuff got removed
Now u get a medal u can show on profile and there is also a separate section for valentine stuff

[eternal basalt]

Remind me in 5 hours

[onyx flame]

i be dead asleep in 5 hours

[glass aurora]

This is literally every CV I have

[sweet delta]

Does anyone care about seeein that on the wiki though, just open the game and look at your shop

[glass aurora]

Didn’t see her no

[undone plover]

Are u able to farm event fine?
Where are u in story?

[onyx flame]

souryuu is fine as a stop gap

[glass aurora]

Did 8-4 need 2 more command levels to do w9. Can’t do EX stage but can easily do hard

[whole crypt]

buy Independence

[sweet delta]

I'd just save fr independence an prefarm retro bps to retro immediately

[undone plover]

Clear ch 9-1 at least then think about changing main fleet or raising fleet 2
For now use your main fleet
Use 2 BB if I have to it is ok

Show your main fleet if u think it is bad and needs work

Level 115 uni will carry anyway

[sweet delta]

It's constellation Pennsylvania

[glass aurora]

I think it is fine, this is my main fleet, tomorrow I should finish retrofit for Helena

[sweet delta]

Or not

Bruh why are you retrofitting Helena, do you have enough for independence already?

[hollow gust]

Also isn't the new Italian girl pretty decent?

[eternal basalt]

Different BPs

[undone plover]

Helena is not that high prio tbh for retro
Like sushi said start farming x-4 maps in hard mode daily for CV retro prints

[sweet delta]

She appears to be their strongest BB ||80% of the time||

[hollow gust]

The pizza should be slightly below owari no?

[wheat locust]

what ships are top retro prio?

[hollow gust]

Unicorn

[undone plover]

Uni and portland if u use portland

[wheat locust]

done with her

[undone plover]

Rest is highly variable

[hollow gust]

Save up for independence and retro her

[sweet delta]

Rest is highly variable

[wheat locust]

ye I use portland guess ill go for her

[wheat locust]

is she that good?

[eternal basalt]

Also wait for stream 20th and go off from there

[undone plover]

Secret UR

[wheat locust]

whats that?

[wheat locust]

ohh

[eternal basalt]

Stream for new UR event

[undone plover]

They mean new event for end of month so might influence your choices
I would still save for indep

[wheat locust]

ohh, ye am already saving cubes

[sweet delta]

Then cowpens is secret HR

[eternal basalt]

Human Resources would be much improved if true

[still knot]

Who do I get

[eternal basalt]

Do you have Fu Shun?

[still knot]

Idk

[eternal basalt]

Get her if you don't have her yet, no other way

[sweet delta]

Who do you have…

[still knot]

Is she good?

[sweet delta]

Worst advice I've seen

[eternal basalt]

If retrofit, which is currently unavailable

[sweet delta]

Pick Fu shun later, if at all

[whole crypt]

the real answer is just hold on to the invite

[tulip tinsel]

what you can't retro fu shun rn?

[still knot]

Kk

[undone plover]

U need her item which is not available atm

[whole crypt]

no item

[viscid swift]

her retro item is unavailable right now

[tulip tinsel]

bruh

[silent zodiac]

Ooh, I grabbed Taihou, not Fu Shun, woops

[tulip tinsel]

no second ddg for me then sob

[eternal basalt]

All others are in their pools

[silent zodiac]

Did not know Fu Shun was only available during events

[undone plover]

U can technically get tai yuan and chang chun but not rly recommended

[viscid swift]

none of the DDGs really

[tulip tinsel]

i alr have one of them

[sweet delta]

fu shun probably goes to guild shop eventually

[tulip tinsel]

good for saving oil ig, like clearing event stages or smth

[eternal basalt]

"probably"

[wheat locust]

my fleet is all over the place lol (uni jump off the screen)

[eternal basalt]

Urunami flasbacks

[undone plover]

Looks fine
Bisko is out of place but she is decent

If u are in ch9 already consider leveling some ship to prep fleet 2

Event could be decent for this but not sure I never raised bad ships in raid style events as a newbie

[wheat locust]

im currently on ch8 but cant do it cuz i dont have not enough lv so im doing the event right now for some xp

[pearl compass]

Did not everybody get a 2026 Valentine's message?

I got one for Jean Bart yesterday but Ulrich didn't get one today

[eternal basalt]

Just the ships released post feb-2025

[pearl compass]

?

[hollow gust]

[sharp furnace]

is this my daily cap?

[eternal basalt]

UvH has 4 messages, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025

[plain saffron]

is it daily or total?

[onyx flame]

well total is more accurate, it increases by 400 with a new day

[pearl compass]

I got a new message for Jean Bart, presumably the 2026 one. Ulrich didn't.

[onyx flame]

no you got one of her previous year one

[undone plover]

Does jean bart have an extra msg like enty
Someone elp me

[pearl compass]

for fuck's sake lol

[undone plover]

Oh so u have 7 total?

[pearl compass]

It's new, I checked. I love how yall just make assumptions without reading what I'm writing

[undone plover]

There goes one medal
I have to get another jb level

[undone plover]

Thanks

[eternal basalt]

Probably an untrlated 2019 message

[hollow gust]

They literally said that they don't write new ones for old ships

[undone plover]

Tbf I didnt read what the convo was before I started blasting typing

[undone plover]

It is for the old ships
Supposedly translated from one of the CN ones

Cuz EN missed 1 valentine

[hollow gust]

All those "new" ones are translated from older years.

[undone plover]

It is new to me

[onyx flame]

still old thou

[hollow gust]

Valentine's Day are usually slightly modified and region specific. This year since they aren't doing older ships EN gets direct translation ones of older years

[pearl compass]

Okay, thank you for the explanation

[eternal basalt]

CN/JP Servers
Start date July 26th, 2018
End date August 9th, 2018
EN Servers
Start date June 27th, 2019
End date July 10th, 2019

So yeah, a newly translated 2019 message

[pearl compass]

Compared the one I got with the 2019 CN one and it matches. Thanks again for the clarification!

[dense rover]

How do i use the gifts to rise the aff lvl ?

[eternal basalt]

Don't worry... I got one too

[eternal basalt]

Marry them, but click on gift instead of oath

[dense rover]

i see

[old sphinx]

who should i take in UR select, I already have NJ Ulrich and Shima only Shima MLB

[undone plover]

Musashi if u need a good BB
Implacable if u need a good CV
Yorktownii if u have lexingtonii

[old sphinx]

i have lexi 2 yes and shes my only UR CV
thing is have 2 UR BBs already being NJ and Ulrich

[sweet delta]

I would say Musashi then

[undone plover]

Musashi is still more prio than yorktown ii imo unless u already have like 3 modern UR BB

[old sphinx]

my URs
MLB Shima War Lexi2
WdP NJ Ulrich

[undone plover]

Musashi then

[sweet delta]

Musashi if u need a good BB
Implacable if u have two of Shinano AmagiCV Hakuhou
Yorktownii if u have lexingtonii and enough BBs

[undone plover]

I wouldnt spend bulins on NJ and UvH tbh

[dense rover]

So i rise the normal affinity , i thought i rise the level in game event ,

[undone plover]

No gifts are just minor boosts to affinity

U get more in island planner if u play that minigame

[dense rover]

Not rly no , very rarely , too boring for my taste , anyway so in the event we cant rise their lvl above the daily cap and we can have only one active correct ? Also how many lvls should i rise and is there a cap ?

[onyx flame]

only cap is a hard cap, also depends on what your trying to get out of the valentinte event

[eternal basalt]

Tommorow 1500 + 400 then event is over

[onyx flame]

if your fishing for as many valentine letters as possible its either 19 letters split between 9 characters or 20 letters split between 8 characters

[undone plover]

If u just want the medal 200 pts or 1 level is enough
If u want all the msges check wiki and see how many they have and get that many

If u want more medals for same girl get to level 11

[onyx flame]

some wacko math going on or just hyper focus on your fav girl and get her medal to display on your profile

[dense rover]

Well i wasnt sure and from that now NJ is lvl 4 1 lvl 2 and 8 lvl 1 .... so yeah idk maybe ill get the letters cuz im not sure that at this point i can do lvl 11 any of them , well i suppose that wed get this event the next year aswell so i can get max lvl then ...

[sweet delta]

You can get a level 11 if you use tomorrow's points

[eternal basalt]

1500 HAS to go to 1 girl 😭

[tulip tinsel]

How many lines do nj have? Valentine thing

[eternal basalt]

4

[deep storm]

Any chance the Valentine stuff will get pinned? I can't understand the in-game instruction/they might be wrong. For the Valentine's message collection, one ship was already selected (Yat Sen already had a message unlocked, from the first Valentine event years ago, but was at affection 0).
I switched YatSen out for another ship (UR Bullin) thatI had a Valentine from her, but Bullin started at 0 with no message unlocked.
I gave her the daily chocolate, and unlocked 400 points (cap), then switched back to YatSen; i couldn't farm any more points for YatSen (so the daily cap works)
But I lost one of the 20 switches even though I was just going back. Now the game message says 20 switches per DAY. Today I see that my spent switches didn't come back. (I'm at 18/20... Well 15/20 because I wanted to test stuff with other ships whom I have Valentine's stuff unopened in my mailbox)

So each ship has only 4 levels of Valentine's message? (How many points to unlock all 4? Because the daily gift bumps them up to level 4 already.)

[ivory pawn]

Good news, you only need 9 switches max, so it’s not a loss.

[deep storm]

Why 9 max?

[eternal basalt]

4 max since 2021 ship

[onyx flame]

there a hard cap of 4000 choc that you can earn which can only be spread to 9 ships max with the ratio of 1 message for 6 girls, 2 message for 1, 4 message for 1 and 7 messages for 1

[deep storm]

My brain still hurts
So the entire Valentine message event, because it only lasts until.. tomorrow? I should only focus on an older ship girl (Yat-sen) to get all 7 messages? Well, 6 in my case, with one message that came pre-unlocked (from previous events) but since she's affection 0, I'll still need to unlock level 1 again.

[onyx flame]

basically you can earn 4000 choc total
400 for each day (3 day event)
for a total of 1200 that you can split how you want
and
500 for 1 ship
800 for 1 ship
1500 for 1 ship
that is from the daily which cant be split so it each one gets shoved into 1 ship that you choose

[inland shoal]

That's why I asked you yesterday, sorry for not explaining it to you directly, thought you got it from what I said after

[deep storm]

I feel like this event was released too early

[inland shoal]

More like too late, December 2nd was quite a while ago

[onyx flame]

not the american date system

[upbeat juniper]

Hello there, say i got some issues i wanted to discuss

[eternal basalt]

#gameplay-help

[deep storm]

Since there's nothing new unlockable (other than older messages for 2020 girls if you got into the Valentine's after 2021), I'm thinking the sanest option is to ignore the event (there's not even a chat portrait)

[undone plover]

U can get medals of your fav girls for your profile banner
There is also milestone rewards
Some oath rings in there

[upbeat juniper]

I missunderstood the event GROSSLY. And i swapped girls 20 times thinking i was setting up a "valentine fleet".
Did i just lock me out of the event?

[inland shoal]

Not rly locked out, but you are now stuck with your last selection

[onyx flame]

well you can funnel all the points into the last girl you selected

[deep storm]

This event documentation was not very well implemented.

[undone plover]

There is an in game tutorial now
But yeah it is a mess

[upbeat juniper]

Also, if im correct. Can i request a rollback? I didnt get the infographics and the ones i had were wrong

[deep storm]

I want apologgemsy chocolate!

[upbeat juniper]

Yeah i didnt get one until later today

[undone plover]

No harm in trying but I doubt it tbh

[pearl compass]

Sorry, I just checked the EN part of the wiki and didn't think to check CN for untranslated stuff after you told me to check there. But yeah, I got it now, thanks

[upbeat juniper]

Earlier today the screen said i had to select "up to 10 girls"

[dense rover]

In the titorial The banner have lvl 56 we can get up to 12 i think ?

[deep storm]

This message is very pinnable

[upbeat juniper]

I actually took a screenie cause i was trying to make sense of this

[undone plover]

I can’t blame u for messing up
Try and ask for a rollback or sth
I dont think they have ever helped in cases like this so u could be wasting your time
In future come and ask here and dont trust the in game ui
Especially when it doesnt exist

[onyx flame]

27 is the theoretical highest, with 20 being the normal one if you start from 0

[dense rover]

Yeah sorry i was counting smth else , but its still not lvl 56 as shown ...

[undone plover]

Really sorry mate
The devs should have done better

[dense rover]

I think this mini evenmt was rushed , we had for 2 days like 5 updates

[shadow oracle]

whats the best ship to pick from jere?

[undone plover]

Almost certainly was
But what can u do
I recommend u leave some feedback so they do better in future

[inland shoal]

Well lvl 56 is reachable in 2 years

[shadow oracle]

this is my dock

[upbeat juniper]

Im really mad, i had a lot of work this week and today i suddenly saw valentine going on, I didnt even have the right shipgirl as a secretary

[inland shoal]

Most likely Taihou imo

[eternal basalt]

They added it today

[undone plover]

U have every right to feel this way
Imo send customer support an email and make your peace with it after

[upbeat juniper]

Yeah, thats what i can do atm

[shadow oracle]

oke ty

[dense rover]

At least from the new box i got Chang Wu`s L2D Skin

[inland shoal]

Also the lack of locks is scaring me ngl

[shadow oracle]

meep

[whole crypt]

I mean they changed valentines event so you really not missing very much

[undone plover]

I think pick no one
Hold on to the selector

[deep storm]

What's the support email?

[upbeat juniper]

Ditto

[shadow oracle]

does it gain value over time or something

[undone plover]

Let me see if I can find it
Sry am out atm will ping u in 15 mins when I am home if no one else responded

[eternal basalt]

Gain ships, pick the last one left

[jade lagoon]

so wat, how do you get the lv. 50+ medal of the shipgirl you chose if everything is capped?

[shadow oracle]

idk any of the ships so i dont know if these are new or old ones for the voucher

Ohh

[eternal basalt]

Valrntine 2028

[shadow oracle]

just for the collection purposes? so are the ships not meta

[onyx flame]

do it over the span of 3 years (-1 for this year)

[dense rover]

[e-mail] is the en one from the wikki

[undone plover]

Technically it can
For example u can use it to claim the ships that wont drop in gacha for u later if u care about collection

[eternal basalt]

[jade lagoon]

Oh

[deep storm]

Taihou for immediate workable carrier (you have very few). Jeanne for an immediate workable cruiser up front (though there's more front ships you can farm for free early on).

[shadow oracle]

i thought enterprise and perseus were good

[eternal basalt]

For your info, ALL are in the pools BAR Fu Shun

[shadow oracle]

at least they were when i quit 😭

[woven star]

Ok. So some manuals we got. I think I left one ship to get max level

Just another patch with info

[onyx flame]

they are, thou im bout perseus since uni retro exist. if you need more cv indep retro is good and there also sara, plus you might fish out something since ur banner is coming soon

[sweet delta]

Enterprise is one of the best SR CVs, and Perseus is just a unicorn side/downgrade

[shadow oracle]

i dont even know if unicorn had a retrofit when i played

everyone was saying perseus was the best healer on youtube when the banner first dropped

[sweet delta]

She was

[shadow oracle]

are you referring to independence and saratoga

[dense rover]

Well Persy was indeed the best some years back

[sweet delta]

Then she got promptly powercrept by Unicorns retrofit shortly after

[deep storm]

She still kind of is, but some events have you make 3 to 5 fleets; more ships, more power

[shadow oracle]

Ohhhh

yeah im still on like chapter 10 ill get there eventually

[sweet delta]

I misremembered, 2 years

You just continue using Perseus now since she's already so high level, but past chapter 13 you'll surely want unicorn retrofit

[sweet delta]

For now, buy and retrofit Independence

[shadow oracle]

oke thank you, also are monarch and renown good

[sweet delta]

Unicorn retrofit was 2022

[dense rover]

Monarch is good ye

[shadow oracle]

oh i meant vanguard

monarch vanguard are they support ships or idk

[sweet delta]

Monarch needs the unique augment to be good

[dense rover]

She is decent yes , also i use persy in OS for almost every content

[shadow oracle]

is the augment the last equipment slot

[dense rover]

yeah

[shadow oracle]

this one?

idk anything about the research ships i just chose the first one on the list but she looks cool

[dense rover]

she is my first PR to do ever and i still use her sometimes

[sweet delta]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/research-focus/ make sure you're not griefing yourself in research academy

[shadow oracle]

i griefed myself

im pretty sure loool i had so many data packs and ik for a fact im not on the right focus

[vast sparrow]

Just gonna put it here
https://bit.ly/ALCFguide

[sweet delta]

Use coins to buy 10 bps for monarch every day, that's it, don't focus PR1

[dense rover]

well just swap to another tier , also from the 2 month event forgot the name that u can buy the pass for 10$ u get exp that u can use on the older PR ships so you dont have to grind their exp

[upbeat juniper]

Thanks

[shadow oracle]

which pr7 ship do i focus on?

[sweet delta]

That's not focus

[shadow oracle]

this screen?

[dense rover]

Nyakhimov is good napoli and bayard are used aswell

[sweet delta]

Not useful for them

[dense rover]

that`s blueprint and research focus , to get the ship

[whole crypt]

picking a specific ship is catchup
focus is only on a series

[dense rover]

yeah probably u`re correct i just said for pr7 what i think is usefull , as he asked for pr 7;D

[shadow oracle]

sorry to ask but what is thr difference??

[sweet delta]

But if you have enough tech points for any of these, start building them without exp data packs
Shimanto
August
Aegir
Anchorage
Bayard

Then your catch-up selection depends on the above

[whole crypt]

and generally you don't focus on trying to finish a single ship because the best way to finish any single ship in a series is to build all of them

[shadow oracle]

o i did not mean to use two questjon marks my bad

i think i need to watch a youtube video on this why is there so much to the gamee

[whole crypt]

focus makes 3 out of the 5 projects you can pick every refresh to be of the selected series
catchup is a limited number of bonus prints for older research series to help you finish past ships faster

[shadow oracle]

oh im seeing i need tech pts to unlock the ship itself

[sweet delta]

There are almost zero good youtube videos for new players, they're outdated and bad even for the time

[dense rover]

ah yes i forgot bout the first wall , the tech points to start building the hsipd ;D

[sweet delta]

All you need is this for focus,
https://azurlaneecgc.com/research/ for other parts of research,
And #gameplay-help for which ship to actually start with

[shadow oracle]

all i remember is farm kaga and akagi

[tulip tinsel]

don't

[sweet delta]

Was never a good idea

[shadow oracle]

so according to the link i go anchorage first

i zont have tech point

[dense rover]

do you have for FdG ?

[sweet delta]

Do you have points for any of these

[peak fable]

is there a way to see what skins I own for ships I DONT own?

[shadow oracle]

i legit only have the pr1 ships

[dense rover]

Shop>Skin>Check owned skins

[peak fable]

ah ty

[dense rover]

Well you can focus on leveling ships for tech and then getting to pr that you need , its not one day process but you can do it

[shadow oracle]

Oke thank you

[sweet delta]

Actually get to chapter 12 first before concerning yourself with building pr ships

But you should always be doing research academy projects and some discounted Monarch blueprints

[tulip jay]

This Valentine's event is a mess. Has anyone figured out where to get exactly 100 points to avoid giving too many to the current ship?

[deep storm]

Just a heads up, I got curious and checked the wiki. CN/JP servers skipped Valentine's 2020; the oldest girls' 2018 messages match with EN 2019. Because CN/JP skipped 2020, EN got a year to "catch up". By 2021, all servers have the same number is available Valentine quotes.
(This event is a complete rehash, and a cock-up of one at that)

[dense rover]

Well check how much one battle gives and then count how many battles you need for 100

[tulip jay]

That'd work if battles didn't give like 16 or 18 points that makes it impossible to split the points across different ships properly.

[tulip tinsel]

iirc event easy mode is like 4 or 6?

[tulip jay]

Here's hoping it's 4.

[onyx flame]

easy is 2

double if your using the ship selected

[dense rover]

idk but i have 2 ships one of which is 136 and the other 64 so , if every battle gives 16 i get to 100 - i did only 12-4

[onyx flame]

from faerlein

[shadow oracle]

may i ask why?

[sweet delta]

They didn't skip 2020.

[shadow oracle]

also idrk how research works is that what helps me get pr ships?

[dense rover]

research gives you the blue prints needed to upgrade the researched pr ship - shed be 1 from 30 lvls and some have like fate that need even more BPs

[sweet delta]

Because chapter 11+ is way more efficient to farm than 9-10, and because farming ships requires using different ships that may grief your progression towards 12

[tulip tinsel]

12-4 best place to grind the xp there as w13 harder and below w12 xp is lower and not worth the time

[shadow oracle]

ohhh

so 12-4 to get tech points to unlock ship?

[tulip tinsel]

you get tech points from obtaining ships

[dense rover]

no 12-4 to get exp , u get tech points by lvl`ing the ships to 100-120-125

[shadow oracle]

idk im just doing the 15 sorties on hard for this event cuz its oil capped and im at work

[shadow oracle]

100?? oml

dont i need to limit break them all then

[onyx flame]

you get faction tech points from obtaining ships, max limit breaking then and level 120 em, typically we only care up to mlb

[tulip tinsel]

what you get tech from
obtain
mlb
lvl 120

[shadow oracle]

does higher ship rarity give more points?

[dense rover]

u get oil capped aswell in stages after 9 i think after you clear them with 3 stars

[tulip tinsel]

yea and main fleet more than vanguard

[sweet delta]

💀 most of your facts are wrong

[onyx flame]

higher rarity and heavier ship do yes but you should focus on raising good ships first before you care about faction tech

[shadow oracle]

well i have a lot of the purple bulins or whatever theyre called

should i just max out a bunch of purple ships

[dense rover]

which is wrong you do get oil cap when u 3 strats and i dont remember correctly for world 9 or before that , at least i got for w15 oil cap when i did it with 3 stars soidk

[sweet delta]

Can you just show your whole dock, in a thread

[shadow oracle]

Oke how do i do that

make a thread j mean

[onyx flame]

oil cap unlocks once you 100% the stage for chp 9+, you dont have to 3 star it

[sweet delta]

Take screenshots, thread is optional but find the 🧵 icon in discord

[shadow oracle]

Heres the family

[onyx flame]

if your on pc you can right click your message for an option to make a thread as well

[shadow oracle]

o im on mobile atm

[sweet delta]

Screenshots better than video

[shadow oracle]

Oke one sec

[onyx flame]

think holding down the message also brings up the option iirc

[dense rover]

fine i accept dat cuz i usually do 3 stars on the stage on lethal so i guess i miss remembered , sorry for the miss information

[shadow oracle]

oke i made thread

sorry for spam 😓

[deep storm]

So what's the gap in the wiki? (2018 2019 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025)
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Eldridge/Quotes#tabber-Japanese_Server

[still drift]

Does someone know how the sweet memories stuff work?

[sweet delta]

Because EN wiki doesn't put everything on

Especially for CN and JP

[onyx flame]

the 2018 and 2019 one for cn/jp should be moved forward by a year

[onyx flame]

#gameplay-help message

[icy robin]

I need help choosing

[muted wind]

musashi

[icy robin]

I already have Musashi, Shimano, and New Jersey

[muted wind]

is she at max limit break?

[icy robin]

No

[muted wind]

then pick her anyways for that

[icy robin]

Bet

👍🏾

I need two to fully limit break her

[sweet delta]

If you show all URs you have and how many UR bulins you have, we can make a good recommendation

[tulip tinsel]

what aux and main gun should i slap on kurumi on 12-4 leveling

[sweet delta]

Does it matter?

[tulip tinsel]

yes

[sweet delta]

Standard CL gear then

[sweet delta]

Is that after using the dupe Musashi you just got?

[icy robin]

No

[sweet delta]

You can ask again when you have 2 bulins, but likely max Lexington next

[whole crypt]

somethingsomething new UR in 2 weeks

[proven mist]

Hi, I feel I've come to the most important decision in my time as a player of AL, which ship do I pick

[proven mist]

Ohh similar question.. mushashi I should then..?

[icy robin]

If you don't have her

[proven mist]

I don't

[icy robin]

Then you should get her

[jaunty pecan]

how's the 2 dragon empiry duo new retrofit?

[proven mist]

But I do have some main cannon type ships.. nj etc, mushashi seems same type?

Is she special in some way than them?

[sweet delta]

Bruh max your Lion right now, strongest boss BB in the game

Musashi is the best BB for campaign, same as Raffaello
Lion Alsace Mecklenburg Biszwei are top single-wave bossing BBs

NJ is the bottom of rainbow BBs

[jaunty pecan]

who tf is mecklenburg

[proven mist]

Ohh... I invested in wrong girl

Uhm I am at chapter 12, going to try to push forward from here for chapters. Sooo

[icy robin]

PR ship

[sweet delta]

Right now just pick Musashi and leave her on the bench

[proven mist]

Ohkk

Thanks

[jaunty pecan]

ying/chao worth retrofit or scam

[hollow gust]

Not worth

[vivid bay]

is it normal to not get any support for meta showdown around this far in the season?

[hollow gust]

Not really?

[vivid bay]

haven't gotten anyone to help with mine for the past couple days so i been just dumping oil to solo

[sweet delta]

I would say it is normal a few times but not if you get zero help 10 times in a row

[autumn pumice]

from what I've noticed its all about when people are playing, there are some times when people are active and you get like 3 helpers, other times nothing at all

so I guess you might just be playing when others are not

[vivid bay]

RIP what times are usually good time?

[autumn pumice]

hard to tell, but like 2 hours ago I get help for my 2 META bosses, so maybe around then. Anecdotal evidence tho.

[vivid bay]

thanks, anecdotal evidence is still better than no hints at all 😂

[vale spindle]

yes

every now and then i get one or two supports per day but its unreliable

[pliant tiger]

Uhmm, what does single wave mean?

Like META fights?

[sweet delta]

battle in which the boss spawns immediately

as opposed to campaign bosses

[pliant tiger]

Okey dokey, so META, OPSI hard arbiter and EX

But for some reason, are the opsi bosses still the same difficulty?

[sweet delta]

yes they cap out at 2022 difficulty

[pliant tiger]

Last month I felt the arbiter hard boss was piss easy

[proper violet]

Is taihou the correct choice?

[pliant tiger]

It's been like a year or so when I last done it

So they probably are not taking into account recent UR strenght

[proper violet]

That free sr I mean

[sweet delta]

the correct choice depends on your dock. And Taihou is pretty mid in terms of power

[pliant tiger]

It's rare I call subs in to help in opsi nowadays

[proper violet]

Awe should I focus tech then? Def need me some royal shi

[sweet delta]

the best choice is usually to hold on to the invite until there's only one ship on it you don't have

[proper violet]

Awe tyvm

[mighty tulip]

Will Oathing my mlb Lexii make her airstrike faster for the slow to happen for my Enty or is this just based on what gear she has?

[sweet delta]

oath does indeed increase RLD stat which affects airstrike reload time. But changing gear is often enough. Also, it's ok for lexii to strike up to 1.5s later than enty does

[harsh cargo]

When is the Valentine ship picked?

[sweet delta]

whenever you want, while the event is running

[harsh cargo]

I thought it'd be locked to the first on your secretary list

[mighty tulip]

Also my Uni and Cowpens on my mob fleet are both nearing 120 (119 and 118) respectively. To train others do I split them and make 2 mob fleets?

I can make thread and post dock as well

[sweet delta]

to train anyone, put them in the one mob fleet. You can't have auto-search use two mob fleets equally.

and add as many high level ships as you need to safely farm the map

[waxen warren]

these are my current URs, I have the UR Exchange ready
I can choose from:
Ulrich
Kronshtadt
Vanguard
Implacable

I am leaning towards Vanguard & Implacable but can't decide which. I'm aware I lack a lot of LB's but I'm fairly casual and stock a lot, I could MLB whoever I grab.

[elfin hollow]

What's the build time on Hai Chou?

[sweet delta]

Implacable is better for completing Shinano Hakuhou. Vanguard won't do much when this perma UR will take months to max and Soyuz and Alsace are rerunning in the next few months

Save UR bulins for new or rerun URs unless you have extremely good reason to use on a perma UR. Like Lexii, wdp, and laffii there.

[waxen warren]

thanks a lot

[stone lava]

what's better to focus? PR7 for nakimov and LA9 or PR8 for meck and meck gun? Have almost no progress on both

[undone plover]

both are valid
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/research-focus#overall-recommendation
read this

[stone lava]

I mean yeah I don't have soyuz for nakimov but I assume she'll get her rerun soon

[undone plover]

that is true
if u dont have a particular preference then go for pr8
it is better long term

[rapid tusk]

This is still broken. Nothing appears in roster

[rain vine]

did you click on the ship icon in the bottom left?

[rapid tusk]

Yes

Am I doing something wrong?

[rain vine]

try reloading the game

[sweet delta]

Pick another ship because apparently Baltimore is broken for you

[rapid tusk]

I did

Will all my points get reset?

[forest palm]

it shouldn't, resetting the game is just for resyncing

[sweet delta]

I mean it's better than sitting on a level 0 Baltimore

Unless you want to bet that the devs will compensate you for Baltimore but check that you're still on Baltimore

[rapid tusk]

Ok I switched to Liverpool then what?

No one appears in roster

[ivory pawn]

Cause she's still at 0.

Give her a chocolate, and she'll show up on the list in the medal area.

[rapid tusk]

As in claim the daily rewards?

[ivory pawn]

Or go run a map. Either works.

[rapid tusk]

Does she have to be in the fleet?

[ivory pawn]

Nope.

[weary gust]

You can only get 1 oath ring from this event, right?

[rapid tusk]

So is it okay to do this?

[rain timber]

Heyo looking for a bit of fleetbuilding advice.

I am about to get my first guaranteed SR. I was thinking of going Shinano but when it comes to CV/CVLs I already have Saratoga, Ark Royal, and Unicorn. Does it make more sense for me to go for New Jersey instead, or is Shinano still good, even when I have all these aircraft carriers?

-# also sorry if I am posting in the wrong channel, please redirect me to the right one!

[sweet delta]

if you like liverpool then yes

[sweet delta]

you mean UR, and Musashi is the best choice

[dark hazel]

Rainbow ships are UR, golds are the SR. Musashi from perma, NJ is powercrept into irrelevancy.
https://azurlaneecgc.com/
good guide to browse

[rapid tusk]

Baltimore is my fav but that’s not working I guess. I like Liverpool so I guess I just give it to her?

[sweet delta]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/
All of the URs won't be relevant for a while anyways, save your UR bulins for the new UR(s)

[ivory pawn]

This year, but it looks like we'll be able to get more in the future.

[cobalt robin]

current ex doesnt have ranking?

[brave canyon]

Is there a good way of getting a lot of OS coins other than the normal grind? This cat is sucking me dry

[rain timber]

This guide suggests Shinano or New Jersey as the UR... so Musashi is just better?

[elfin hollow]

After Helena and Unicorn who else should I get?

[brave canyon]

The newbie quest gives NJ or Shinano, Musashi is recommended for the choice pick from the gacha

[brave canyon]

they’re the only S tier epics, Portland is quite good from the rare pool but not on the same level

[elfin hollow]

Hmm so I should just save guild coins now?

[rain timber]

Ok ok I see. But also, "limited time URs are kinda just better almost always" is what I kinda got from this guide. So, if I will save my rainbow Bulins for limited even URs... shouldn't I pick another Shinano/NJ to limit break one of them faster?

[elfin hollow]

Yeah got Portland from a cube already

[brave canyon]

Always buy out the gold plates and other useful stuff

[elfin hollow]

Alright

[viscid swift]

burn some of that AP on C3/C5

[rain timber]

But to use one of them to LB the other, since the handbook reward is already Shinano/NJ. Or are you saying "just get the Shinano/NJ and don't bother with them - go for max LB on Musashi"? Is that it?

[sweet delta]

• Save UR bulins, ask #gameplay-help for how to use them, when you have enough to max a UR, including Musashi
• Pick Musashi from pity, pick Musashi dupes from pity to limit break her
• Do whatever you want from the handbook reward

[tulip ibex]

I'm so confused about the Valentine's Day event
At first I thought I could change character 10 times, but now it's 20 times Should I focus on getting a high score on one character, or spread the points across other characters? I'm so confused, and I only have 3 days to figure it out
Can someone please explain this to me? 🙏

[ivory pawn]

It doesn't really matter, it's up to you.

If you want more letters, spread 'em out.
If you want to show your devotion, bring someone as high as possible.

[tulip ibex]

I'm not sure about The 20 changes, is it permanent or will it reset next year? I can't decide because I don't want to waste my attempts 🥺

[ivory pawn]

It'd be absolutely insane if they don't reset the swaps for next year.

[sweet delta]

isnt the game already insane?

[tulip ibex]

Yes, you have a point, but I'm not sure if the developers will.
Because I've experienced it once before 🥺
I hope they don't disappoint us.

[young ridge]

I have to wonder what the state of Azur Lane will even be like in a year from now..

[elfin hollow]

Anyone that is particularly better over the rest?

[young ridge]

It sounded like you can get bonus chocolates towards Operation Valentine, but I'm not sure who you're meant to use or what the conditions are cause.. well, it's so poorly handled. It sure isn't in that little guide they added.

[fathom apex]

silly question but for valentines, to get the valintines gift from a specific character they have to be in the left most secratery position? and i havnt missed it have i?

[young ridge]

Oh, yeah, that reminds me. Do META ships even give Valentines day gifts? I can stick Carabiniere META there, cause I like her, but if she's not gonna send anything there isn't much point. Shame basically all of my oathed ships aren't from February of last year onwards..

[opaque galleon]

How much does HVAR hellcat beat spearfish against light armor?

[sweet delta]

Cheshire is the only one with half a use, but she's powercrept by non-rainbows like Shimanto who is coinable and catchupable too

[toxic crown]

This gun any good

[cobalt robin]

niche

[toxic crown]

nah just asking because I’m considering getting it and maybe tossing it on kearsarge for now

[cobalt robin]

it has high dmg but quite slow reload so difficult to time properly

[toxic crown]

hm interesting

[sweet delta]

There's a rainbow version of that gun and even the rainbow doesn't see much use

Speaking of the triple 460mm

[cobalt robin]

well bb guns are content dependent and this one is an ap gun

[fluid fjord]

I saw that Yuudachi is good for mob fleet dps, is she only good if she’s retrofitted? Like I saw warspite is good once she’s retrofitted but she’s not worth all the mats

[inner delta]

yeah, need retro

[fluid fjord]

Is she worth the mats?

[wind hazel]

no, her META is stronger lol

[cobalt robin]

if you really like her, otherwise no

[fluid fjord]

Ok bet. I’m gonna skip that then

[near cargo]

Anyone know a good ship that has wide swept type special barrage? Something similar to Amagi

[sweet delta]

Raffaello

[strange flame]

does proto shop refresh its stock?

[sweet delta]

the rainbow gear doesn't, while the ship bps and gold gear bps do refresh monthly

[polar linden]

Guys? How to increase more my level in operation valentines? I'm currently lvl11 only

[neon gull]

Yeah, i was gonna ask the same question. How the F can you even get to level 56 (as shown on image) if you are progress capped per day, and you only have like 2-3 days of the event

[viscid swift]

You can't

[polar linden]

So what's the point of this then?

[neon gull]

Cool, then why do they even bother setting cap on how many times you can swap the characters. It's so dumb i am confused

[polar linden]

We can't even reach the max lvl of it and get the last frame

[viscid swift]

Hey don't ask me about the dev's poorly thought out, rushed out, poorly implmented and communicated event.

[inner delta]

im already asked dev to give more indepth explanation of how all this shit works, so see weather they respond and gave something or not in a few days

[sweet delta]

We can find out more next year

[runic bluff]

wait........we dont get 2026 valentines letter?

[inner delta]

no, its changed to the new format

[runic bluff]

so basically valentines just be.......obtaining past letters??

[sweet delta]

only ships released after 2025 valentine have new messages

available for collection in the new system, not through mail

[stark quiver]

........

[neon gull]

While i understand they didn't want to generate 800+ valentines messages each time the even rolled out, but it still feels off

[sweet delta]

is 2000+ boss DPS on a gold vanguard ship good

oh wait that's DDG

[barren token]

is anyone else having difficulty collecting the cog chips for defeating EX?

[wind hazel]

i think you're the first one with that issue

[echo vector]

Where to get hedgehog to fight subs ?

[north gorge]

Do the advanced challenge to get the cog chips

[echo vector]

Yep

[unborn garnet]

Anybody else having an issue putting Shinano's stockings back on with her new skin?

[barren token]

nvm found that the advanced challenge is its own seperate button

[echo vector]

Advanced and EX challenge button is right next to each other, easy to confuse which mode you're going into

[echo vector]

Same, i have to reset the skin

[unborn garnet]

Not just me, good to know haha

[hollow gust]

you need to get back to her stocking changing pose to swap back and forth, honestly quite unintuative

her other skins have form changes in defualt but new one is a specific pose

[tawdry halo]

I keep getting stuck like this in OpSi despite getting in and out for the past months to fix the issue, is there anyway for me to permanently fix it?

[atomic abyss]

What do you mean by "stuck"

[tawdry halo]

Screen freeze/Doesnt respond to interactions

Auto search just keeps running infinitely

[atomic abyss]

That sounds like an individual issue unfortunately

Most I can say is try a file repair or reinstalling

[strong tartan]

try switching to another fleet and moving that fleet to another square

had that happen to me once and thats what worked

[tawdry halo]

I cant even switch fleet in the first place

the screen just doesnt respond to the touches, always have to rejoin the game

[strong tartan]

odd

yeah I'd just try what ender said and do a file repair

[echo vector]

Sometimes I had that unresponsiveness, it was due to bad internet connection

Is this the best sub torpedo in game now ?

How big is the improvement ? Did somebody do the math ?

[sweet delta]

g7e for campaign, 95k for challenge mode, g7e for hard arbiter, 95k for speedrunning hard arbiter, 95k for coalition EX scoring

all standard content is easy enough without rainbow sub torps, so you just decide if you have some challenges or score needs

[hollow gust]

tldr, good but, not worth it

[echo vector]

Thanks

[white mica]

I'm confused. How are you supposed to get anywhere near these levels if its a 3 day event and there's a daily cap?https://patchwiki.biligame.com/images/blhx/thumb/b/b9/64bup5dsv56r55z1vmgt6ffm7v4ahwg.jpg/400px-甜蜜大作战tips3.jpg

[inner delta]

most likely you can continue next year

[echo vector]

It's meant to be a yearly reocurring event

[white mica]

ah. so you can get to the 50s if, and this is rough math. you invest in a single character every year for 5 years. uh huh

[wind hazel]

dont worry it's getting shit on left and right from everyone so some changes are expected to come

[sweet delta]

it would only take three years, including this year

[white mica]

i mean the fact that you can change characters 20 times but only earn 400 each day from clears also makes no sense

[stark quiver]

A lot of people bitching in #game-feedback

[white mica]

isnt it 2400 total?

my math may be bad

[dark axle]

Is hard apparently u can have 60 max valentine ships with allmessage (including past) if u grind. It will be permanent collectible via academy》medallion 》 rooster

3 days tbh is too little

[trim depot]

are the borders u unlock from the valentine event similar to the ones from the hall of fame

[white mica]

the problem is the grind is 3 days with a cap imo

[onyx flame]

no its for medals to display on your profile

[trim depot]

oh its a medal?

[dark axle]

Don't forget we also want max valentine border on 60 ships

[stark quiver]

we do?

[dark axle]

Impossible 💀

[onyx flame]

it should be 4k choc
400 for 3 days
500 + 800 + 1500 from dailies

[rain bobcat]

valentine here valentine there just gimme better skins and im good

[onyx flame]

new skin with next maint so perchance

[white mica]

ah. didnt realize dailies were increasing

[stark quiver]

i like this update
got free rings and shit

[dark axle]

The choc also give soo little from grinding is hard

[rain bobcat]

only 1 no?

[onyx flame]

there at least 2

[stark quiver]

free ring* and shits

[rain bobcat]

wher

[onyx flame]

2nd one is at level 30

[rain bobcat]

oh

[stark quiver]

thats pretty good
more pvp oaths

[rain bobcat]

can u even get there in time

[onyx flame]

not from this year, only next year

cause its 20 levels max per event (if numbers dont change

[trim depot]

so its 1 per year basically

[sweet delta]

How good is the Great Glasscannon of China?
ChangWu FuShun ChangChun

[rain bobcat]

lul

[onyx flame]

not guaranteed cause we dont know whats after

[dark axle]

China ships is always trash. US and Japan is meta

[stark quiver]

💀

[rain bobcat]

that's crazy

[trim depot]

can u control how much of the daily sweets go to a certain ship

[onyx flame]

yea you just gotta sortie carefully

[trim depot]

im going to overcap on every ship i have if i use the 1500 daily on any of them

[onyx flame]

chp 12 gives 32
easy/normal/hard gives 2/4/8? iirc
gets doubled if you use the ship

[stark quiver]

shes good but not most broken
and chinese ships being trash is just wrong

[trim depot]

i mean the free daily ones they give

[onyx flame]

but for that daily reward thing, cant it all get shove into the ship you choose

[trim depot]

alr ggs

[sweet delta]

3 of the top 5 vanguard DPS are Chinese

[dark axle]

Still trash no one use china ship in 16-4 LOL

The green hair UR ship also better

[rain bobcat]

calm down lil bro

[wind hazel]

he doesn't know he's playing a chinese game

[scarlet cosmos]

How does Painleve compare to other healers?

Rn not sure to level klaudia or Painleve — I have Painleve MLB but not klaudia (not enough ssr bulins)

[tired forge]

Go Klaudia
