[onyx flame]

you got 12 ur bulins right?
my take is hakuhou + lexi2 then see how good the new ur is

[agile patrol]

i think this is a really good take. im in

[woven star]

Laffy 2, Lex2 or next UR... just wait for next UR event

[wind hazel]

hakuhou has no use

[agile patrol]

nevermind it's a bad take
just because mori said so

[wind hazel]

that's not how it works

[onyx flame]

my brain is just more ur cv needed

[agile patrol]

i trust your judgement

[agile patrol]

what's lexi2 and haku good at again? heavy?

[sick frost]

no use is wild, she does damage on par with mecklenburg to heavy armor

[woven star]

You have Hakuhou and Shinano 0lb. Or both for heavy boss cv or non. Can't pair

[wind hazel]

just look at which ship gonna help you more in campaign or bossing.
laffey2 will help you more in campaign than hakuhou will.
next meta showdown is regensburg, a Light boss, hakuhou will not help you.

[onyx flame]

lexi2 is kitted against light and hakuhou is against heavy

[woven star]

Lex2 against light or campaign or pvp. Versatile ship imo. More useful as Hakuhou

[agile patrol]

i think this is a good time to mention i am still at ch13 because i haven't pushed
now is a good time to work on one

[onyx flame]

then you can prob do lexi2 and laff2 then hold the last 4 and see what the new ur do

[agile patrol]

amazing take. definitely doing this

[woven star]

At the end you can pair Lex2 with Essex retro for camping I guess for boss fleet

[sick frost]

i think you should decide if you care more about campaign, arbiter, or metas and base it off that, you already have arguably the best light armor killer - lion, and you have meh ships for heavy

also later campaigns have a much bigger threat of heavy armor, so def consider that

[agile patrol]

im extremely biased towards opsi so im always going to tell u i care more about arbiter but
the whole game isn't arbiter :((

[onyx flame]

with what you got you can prob clear harbiter unless gear issue

[sick frost]

not too sure about that one...

[agile patrol]

i actually havent tried doing harbiter. i should do that...

[sick frost]

try it out!

[agile patrol]

butbut my opsi CV is incomplete

^^^

how do i make this thing sync

[sick frost]

ive personally never used avp

[agile patrol]

what website is this?

[woven star]

Have you bf109?

[sick frost]

azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/

[onyx flame]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/

[sick frost]

i didnt know if u could send links lol

[agile patrol]

urhhh nooo but i can make one

[agile patrol]

one sec ill remake it in mrlar and send the link to make it easier

[woven star]

So only for synch. This against medium boss

[sick frost]

try using junkers on all 3 and have essex and enty launch every so slightly after, even if the enemy isnt frozen, junkers will def hit

[agile patrol]

https://mrlar.dev/s/d3779bb81525f22e6768547d4d9895da4e7ffa93

[agile patrol]

hmmmmmmm..

[sick frost]

are you targeting h, m, or l armor

[whole crypt]

chips and arrays, sub gear

[sick frost]

very important for kit, this feels like a heavy armor focus which is strange for those carriers

if your targeting m or l armor, dont use torp bomber in essex flex slot, use a rocket fighter (bf109g)

[agile patrol]

i couldnt tell you :(((( i do what makes big numbers
dont get mad at me

[strong tartan]

what boss is this for then

[onyx flame]

esses most likely wont sync, purely cause shes just too fast

[sick frost]

i set up each of my opsi fleets for different armor types usually

[agile patrol]

i seeeee.. so like
different setups for each month??

[wind hazel]

pretty much

[agile patrol]

this month's is medium armor

[sick frost]

the fleet you sent could be good on med armor with a few changes, im cooking up smthn rn

[agile patrol]

mmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmm hmm

[woven star]

use Saiun and beacon for synch

[agile patrol]

OH i'm supposed to switch out my BB guns aswell for different armor types

[forest palm]

Aviation Manjuu exists...

[sick frost]

https://mrlar.dev/s/3a07cb20e2a7219b2465327d958cfa1252515760

[autumn yarrow]

is nakhi worth teching if no soyuz?

[sick frost]

no, but soyuz is rerunning

[autumn yarrow]

is rerun before summer?

[tulip tinsel]

it's like in 1-2 months

after moskva prob

[autumn yarrow]

is that a new soviet ship?

[onyx flame]

check #game-news

[agile patrol]

this is the best creation ever. i'm making it
so this is gonna be my med armor setup?

[sick frost]

yes

[agile patrol]

perfect!!

[sick frost]

as long as essex lands during the freeze cuz the kais drop their torps from far

[autumn yarrow]

oh its a vanguard i thought its a bb

[tulip tinsel]

CA

[woven star]

AvP strike first every time

[sick frost]

also @agile patrol if enty's torps are missing, swap the dive bomber to the f4u and take off her homing beacon

[woven star]

it's look like shit but if you toss only this plane smthing like that. there isbetter composition

[wind hazel]

avp should go 2nd, and syncing essex is a lost cause

ngl using this fleet, going manual is easier than creating a sync for them

[onyx flame]

i could sync essex for the comp, but it need 2 la9 and i was like nah

[sick frost]

you can get her to sync perfect if you doin sum wack shit like this

[autumn yarrow]

any improvements i can make?

[wind hazel]

now open the sync window

[wet palm]

14-3 & 14-4 HARD help

[onyx flame]

[wind hazel]

nvm that isn't even syncing right

[sick frost]

this is truly a head scratcher

[sick frost]

i still think you should have uvh go first as the kais will land even if the target isnt fully frozen, and the junkers especially dont care

[agile patrol]

so i have everything now but. very slight issue
15/25 VIT-2 blueprints

[sick frost]

def work on pr7 prints when u can, cuz la9s are busted

[onyx flame]

wyvern is certain a choice

[sick frost]

ikr

[agile patrol]

the urge to make bad financial decisions and buy 10 pr7 proto prints

[agile patrol]

i'll switch to pr7 once i'm done with meck's bps probably. im like 8 blueprints away

[sick frost]

the devil on the shoulder always wins, if ur patient, just use this instead of the vit

[agile patrol]

wait you're a genius

[onyx flame]

honestly just manual harbiter ngl
strength smack your vanguard hard so you wanna control how they move

[sick frost]

that is always the true answer

[agile patrol]

strength smack your vanguard hard
i am very aware. my first strength fight didnt go well

thank you everyone for the help i'll be working on all of this 🥺

[woven star]

harbiter even easy than normal. normal has anti-heal

[agile patrol]

one last thing. i can just switch out my bb guns with flandre/champy. ya?

[woven star]

for BB fleet same backline as for York2 Meta. I only hope that you use BBs spec for medium bosses on Meta too

[sick frost]

def use champ if you have it, but flandre gun is also fine

[onyx flame]

their basically the same

[agile patrol]

i have 1 champ 2 flandre

[sick frost]

thats solid

[dim tundra]

been wanting to replace eagle, who should I mlb to replace eagle with? I'm commander lvl 51

[woven star]

non of this?

[agile patrol]

uhhh let me check

nope

[woven star]

and 1 this

[agile patrol]

nou ..

[woven star]

Ok. Last tip try first BB fleet and second CV. When harbiter hp drops lower she ignore some shelling damage

[sick frost]

ah yes, raf gun, the gun i literally never use on raf

[random rain]

Which gear should I use T3 Reports for? Tenrais?

[sick frost]

what kind of UR gear u got?

there are prob better options then tenrais based off what u got

[whole crypt]

you can already get 1 tenrai from proto cores, it's kind of questionable whether you need a second

which you should make (more of) depends on what you have now

[random rain]

four wyverns, 1 plym gun, three dd kais, one twin 457s, and two tenrais

most setups in W15/16 always had like three or four of them

I probably need to make some since the other two are tied down in the hard mode fleet

[sick frost]

im curious what ur fleet looks like if you need more than 2

[whole crypt]

more plymouth guns I guess or just hold on to the ordnance reports, you don't get a whole lot of them

most setups in 15-16 don't even use 1 Tenrai

I have no idea what comps you're looking at

[random rain]

probably flex fleets since there's a lot of UR gear, but I guess I'll invest it for plymouth guns for now, thanks!

[whole crypt]

flex slots usually are using fighters where they can

Independence, Unicorn, Cowpens have 0 DB slots
Aquila is usually used in healer config so 0 DBs

maybe the IJN CVs if you're using them for some reason, I don't know

[sick frost]

ijn cvs in campaign isnt too bad... but even then you only need 2

[whole crypt]

not so much for 15 and 16 because they prefer fighter heavy loadouts

[mighty tulip]

Who should I mlb next with my gold bulins?

[sick frost]

sirius and potentially taihou, her augment actually makes her very strong (unless you alr have hakuhou, shinano, and amagi cv/implacable)

[mighty tulip]

I appreciate the rec thank you 🙏🏽

[wind hazel]

skip taihou

sirius is ok, reserve the rest for next week event, see if any of the SR any good

[whole stream]

Hey, anyone got the most stable and up-to-date cheap farm fleet comp for 13-1 cog chip farm purposes?

Closest thing I got is this old ass video with 153/run
https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Qw411X7om/

[autumn yarrow]

was raffaello 2024 or 2025?

[wary timber]

does the torp from William D Porter actually have a chance to hit my flagship

[onyx flame]

2025 iirc

[tulip tinsel]

what projectile do fighters make

like la9 for example

[wary timber]

La9 is rockets

[inner delta]

la9 is rockets?

[inner delta]

pog it counted as torp?

[vale spindle]

no thats just wiki / game being wiki / game

[inner delta]

o

sam when you update

[vale spindle]

after new ur event drops

[wary timber]

Spearfish, BF109G, the HVAR Hellcat and Skyraider have rockets. Spearfish has torps too

[twin bronze]

There's one more

[wary timber]

oh i never used that. the BF109G and Skyraider are my goto

but really i dont use rocket planes outside of AVP and Implacable

[flint arrow]

if i fight arbiter and have no resolve in all 4 fleets its over i cant finish it?

[sick kettle]

if its hardmode then yes

[flint arrow]

ty

[strange flame]

what is the difference between the french and american rainbow AA?

[tulip tinsel]

iirc the 76mm is just superior

[woven star]

Stats lower rld for EU

[wind hazel]

57 slightly better aa, 76 has hit stats. 76 is good

[woven star]

Not sure having 6 frog AA is a good idea. At least one EU should be

[strange flame]

which one should i build?

[wind hazel]

the good one

[strange flame]

is there a geniun need for one over the other

[wind hazel]

no reason to make 57

[whole crypt]

76 has better alpha

[pine siren]

Can someone pls help me with a mob and boss fleet formation. Im pretty new and have been using just random characters.

[white agate]

was 2 wyvern the right number to possess?

[late flame]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide

[cobalt robin]

will next ur be single ur event?

[wind hazel]

2 is good amount. more can be better but not necessary

[steady rain]

im at 350 dock space after maxed dock tech and constantly getting full, should i retire common, rare, elite ships that are easy to get? are there any more tips?

[wind hazel]

use common to enhance, retire farmable rare elite
ideally buy more dockspace

guild has some dockspace to buy

[steady rain]

i maxed out guild dock space, out of gems
do i not retire common ships?

[inner delta]

you can retire or enhance

[steady rain]

i mean i have a bunch of lv70 common ships that i still keep but maybe i retire for more space?

[wind hazel]

.

[steady rain]

thx

[south shard]

Hmmm should I buy skins? Or are there some stuff I should buy that are priority?

[late flame]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[south shard]

interesting, thanks

[fallow cape]

Which DR Ship should i prioritize first and what UR should i chose when pity 200 also

[whole crypt]

Plymouth
perm pity is 400 points, if you're building 200 you're building the wrong pool, but take Musashi first anyway

[fallow cape]

after plymouth should i take agir or mecklenburg?

[whole crypt]

are you focusing PR8 now

[fallow cape]

yh because i see mecklenburg is high tier on tierlist (google)

[mint sedge]

Hey! I'm asking for your help again. I'm using this fleet to clear ADS in ch 14, but Lyme is dying a lot (I think it's due to a lack of AA and too many aircraft). I thought about using Azuma, which I've already finished in shipyard, but I don't like her chibi design. So I was thinking of upgrading Friedrich Carl since it seems like a good vanguard tank and apparently can heal the vanguard. It also has a better chibi design and would help me upgrade my IB Techpoints to start with Hindenburg research. My question is, what would you do?
P.S. My URs are lacking stars, but they're working for now, and I'm upgrading them little by little.

[fallow cape]

but if i choose musashi in pity then i have pretty solid main fleet, so i consider getting agir next

[late flame]

lol tempesta ship in w14

[mint sedge]

tempesta ships are beauty

[whole crypt]

not sure what tierlist you're using
meck rates fairly high but kind of depends on content and you need to have her in her completed state

[tulip tinsel]

it's easy don't use non mlb ur in w14

[wind hazel]

you're using non max limit ships

[wise finch]

I know some of these aren't the best units but I've already invested in them. Should I continue to just MLB and use them or save resources for better units

[wind hazel]

remove your hakuhou, unzen

[mint sedge]

Strangely, the only one who dies is Lyme.

[whole crypt]

underleveled
incomplete hakuhou

Unzen and Laffey II both incomplete too

[wind hazel]

because she's main tanking. your other ships aren't contributing enough damage, so lyme dies first. you're not killing enemy before enemy kill her

[whole crypt]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

[mint sedge]

And I'm not usually a meta-fager; I mostly play with what I like and what works.
Lyme is the one I need to replace. If I wait until I'm at 6 stars, I'll never use those URs.

[late flame]

what works is also usually meta

[mint sedge]

But thx i guess

[whole crypt]

Lyme can work in 14 but needs a good fleet and lv120+

[late flame]

if you wanna play what you like stick to w12

[wind hazel]

what you like isn't gonna work, either accept that or you move on

[whole crypt]

unfortunately ch14 is where you can't waifu over meta

[tulip tinsel]

if it's not mlb it's junk

[cobalt robin]

you can kinda

[whole crypt]

if your waifu are meta sure

[mint sedge]

Why? Why? That's how I got in ch14-4

[cobalt robin]

well i dont think yumia and monty are meta

[safe nexus]

just unlocked fdg, do i use all of my DR bp?

[whole crypt]

you were incredibly lucky but 14-4 is harder than 14-3 by a fair bit and it only gets worse here on

[wind hazel]

blanks? no unless it's DR3 and below

[safe nexus]

ah ok i got 6 7 8 lol

[wind hazel]

keep those, dont use on fdg

[whole crypt]

also have you been playing on manual, because I don't see how that fleet can beat 14-3

[mint sedge]

Nop, auto that fleet clear ads and when lyme die switch to my EU fleet for 2 figths and the boss

[whole crypt]

yeh that's not going to work for 14-4 at all

if not anything else you're taking 4% more damage and dealing 4% less

[safe nexus]

someone recommended i get agir next, but handbook i need to complete a pr 3 ship, i also got enough tech points for plymouth and shimanto, what do i do

[whole crypt]

if you were already scraping by 14-3 14-4 is just going to melt you

[wind hazel]

get plymouth

[whole crypt]

Plymouth higher priority coin DR now

[wise finch]

ok so just use them until chapter 9 and save resources?

[safe nexus]

oh i can also kansas and dmitri donskoi, they worth for me to go to them now or still plymouth?

[whole crypt]

essentially

[safe nexus]

my brain rn thinking higher pr/dr means better so i wanna know do i skip to top since i can?

[wind hazel]

plymouth
l
y
m
o
u
t
h

[safe nexus]

ok got it thx

[whole crypt]

what's the fastest 13-4 clear fleet you can think of

[wind hazel]

fast load triple CV and UR spams

[whole crypt]

will be swapping out the 2 leveling ships soon

[mint sedge]

But I just cleared 14-4 with one star, so I came to ask. I'll follow my instincts and level up Federica Carla (XD) hoping she survives longer than Lyme. The bad thing about Tempesta is that they're very limited by their gear, I think...
THX

[wind hazel]

i like this one

[wind hazel]

your problem isn't lyme. notice how everyone is talking about your non MLB URs. please understand where the issue is

carl is unironically a worse tank than lyme, your issue will get worse instead of improving

[whole crypt]

Lyme gets an A for 14 mobbing
Lyme isn't the issue, it's your whole fleet being underleveled and URs being not MLB

@mint sedge

[late flame]

-# i'd just let him be, he is not obliged to read anyway

[dim tundra]

^^

[wind hazel]

invest in constellation

[mint sedge]

I don't mean to sound pushy or toxic, but if I wait to play with the meta ships or SS tier-in-tier lists, I'll never play what I enjoy.

If I wanted to play meta, I'd go play a card game or a competitive shooter. I thought the point of Azur Lane, with all its fan service, was to play what you like, not to be obsessed with meta tier lists like everyone else.
Everyone told me not to play Enterprise so much, and with it, I dropped Yorktown 2 to 54-52 health bars. I prefer to enjoy what I like. Sorry for being so persistent, and thanks again, I think...

[dim tundra]

alright

[late flame]

sadge unicorn noises

[dim tundra]

honestly, gacha games are the most fun when you get the characters you want
ppl just like doing tierlists cus there are some ppl who play to get the best team possible

[nocturne glade]

The problem isnt the fact that youre using the ships you enjoy, the problem is that as youve realized, your ships arent MLB

[wind hazel]

we're not telling you to use meta ships, we're telling you to use ships that are max limit break. your UR, or any ship for that matter, is trash for not being max limit break

[dim tundra]

^^

[whole crypt]

which part of "the ships are not MLB" do you not understand, we're not talking about the ships not being ranked higher

the ships are incomplete which puts them in a state where they're only doing 60% or even less of their max

[late flame]

where's cheeky MLB pic when we need it

[dim tundra]

what about an elite ship? I have a lot of elite bulins

[whole crypt]

heck some of those ships you have are ranked fairly highly even

[wind hazel]

unicorn, ark royal. you should raise unicorn to replace perseus eventually

[dim tundra]

will keep that in mind, thank you

[wind hazel]

also let prinz eugen tank

[mint sedge]

Dude! If you tell me where I can get more UR Bullies, I'll upgrade them right now. I've been playing since October, and I already got the Specialized Cores for the month. We're limited to 4 UR Bullies in the shop every 3 months plus 1 every 60 days of the Battle Pass, approximately...
If I wait until they're 6 stars, those ships will just gather dust, and I don't know if they're meta or not. I like how they look. I used Laffely 2 trying to compensate for my lack of AA, and I used Unicorn because I needed a healer, but the original idea was a Sakura-Tempesta fleet that looked like Blue Turkey, flashy.

I know it sounds contradictory, but I prefer to max out Federica Carla and see if I can get 3 stars on 14-4, even if I have to wait a week. I'm not in a hurry.

[whole crypt]

if you're not in a hurry just keep grinding consistently
you need to level your ships as well, level advantage makes a significant difference at the top levels
for UR bulins you can buy them for 4000 specialized cores a piece and you can get up to 8000 cores a month so it's again, a consistent effort

[wind hazel]

please read

[whole crypt]

hitting up ch14 now when you started in October is already very fast, but a lot of the game is just level shit up at ch12

while you get levels and more gear

[mint sedge]

the limit say 5k core? how y get the other 3k? seriusly

[nocturne glade]

Maybe try seeing if your gear is upgraded as well. God knows if youre on a +6 toolbox or smth

[whole crypt]

medal shop

[nocturne glade]

you can buy more with the medals from retiring Rs and above

[whole crypt]

there cores from medal shop are not counted in your monthly limit

so the actual monthly max is 8k, there you just got 0.75 more bulins each month

now it's just waiting while leveling, and collecting gear through research and lab

[mint sedge]

Wait! are you telling me the ones from the medal shop don't disappear like the ones from the weekly challenge when you reach the limit?
Damn! That's why I stopped buying them, thanks ❤️

[errant pewter]

yo chat, do u guys have any build for: Laffey II, Guam, Perseus, Admiral Nakhimov, Kearsarge or Anchorage ? pls

[woven star]

Ehm. I think I got some troubles. Already buyout shop and w12-4 has low drop rate of them... very low

[tulip tinsel]

for what

but this can help
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

[errant pewter]

To pass ch 13 and above. I'm actually farming exp on 12-4 and grinding Siren Ops a lot, but, I don't have enough gear to build everyone haha. So, I'm looking for builds (and also, fleets)

[errant pewter]

Thanks!!

[whole crypt]

you could do 13-1 instead

chips is a long process, even if you pay for them

[woven star]

Yep. But w13 don't have higher drop chance. Just double amount. And I lost exp farm for low tech ships

As I noticed 1 drop from 6-9 runs. So poor

[fast frigate]

what ship should i develop first in the shipyard

[woven star]

Hard to realize how fast they depleted in few month from 20k to that

[woven star]

Saint Luis or Roon if this first your ship. Otherwise FdG, Anchorage, Plymouth, Shimanto. For long term Mecklenburg

AvP but when Implacable in perma imo not prio

[whole crypt]

90k took me like 2-3 months I think

[woven star]

Dead week. Almost no cog rewards from last few events

[errant pewter]

Yo guys, how can I get blueprints fast for this gun ?

[tulip tinsel]

pr6 research/protocore shop

2nd lowest prio tho

[nocturne glade]

Shimanto wants EVA auxes right? Since high hp and low eva

[onyx flame]

same as other cruiser one toolkit and an eva aux

[nocturne glade]

great, ty! I guess ill just give her washing machine + toolkit

[frank phoenix]

will shinano 0lb do anything with some proper gear or i shouldn't even bother until mlb?

with new ur and soyuz rerun coming up i got other uses for ur bullins so she won't be mlb for quita a while XD

[tulip tinsel]

every ship is junk at 0lb

don't bother with her imo

[tropic tusk]

I mean UR and research ships U can always just level them up when Ur free even if they not mlb

[sweet delta]

I saw your comment and...

• Seriously? I specifically told you not to +11 or 12 things and you just +11'd the gold gun for musashi
• there really is nothing wrong with your fleet and gear, I'd expect it to lose once in a few runs, not 10 times in a row
• so there must be done usage error like not using cats or not using subs
• Reddit is terrible for winning advice, I can count on about two fingers the number of good people there and they usually get drowned out by bad players/bots upvoting bad advice

[marble raven]

hello can u guys show me what fleets u are using for Chapter 15 ( pls dont just post the Azur Lane Guides link ) i just want some fleet with there gear if u want u can send me it privat

Was it RNG?
20 gems are too many to leave up to chance

[eternal basalt]

I got 4 from RNG... 320 seems too high

The 16th through 25th are RNG , the first 15 give exactly 300 guarantee d

[marble raven]

is this fleet formation right in a bit confuse xd

[viscid swift]

no

[onyx flame]

guam should be the front aka the tank aka the left

[viscid swift]

for tha vanguard it's 1. main tank, 2. middle, 3 off tank

[forest palm]

the vanguard is backwards

[marble raven]

ah yes thats sounds right xd

[sweet delta]

Is NJ Alsace the best you have

[harsh zephyr]

Okay, but the main issue is that with the gear recommendations, you’re the one who said that they had to be at +13. I don’t have enough gold plates to get them to that level, so I don’t really have that option.

( Also I only just noticed that I was pinged here, sorry for the delayed response… )

[sweet delta]

My example picture was +13 but that's an example. If you don't have plates for +13, then don't +11. +11 is barely better than +10. You'll just be forever out of plates and keep on +11'ing new and better gear instead of consolidating to +13s properly

[harsh zephyr]

So I can get away with sortie’ing on +10, is that right? (Though for obvious reasons, it’s best to get gear up to +13 as soon as one has all the gold plates needed to get the gear up to that level?)

[sweet delta]

Yes, +10 gear works but is worse than +13. Something went wrong in your 15-4 boss though. Can you post a video of it?

[harsh zephyr]

I ended up figuring it out earlier… my vanguard fleet kept losing too much health during Boss 1 to survive Boss 3, so I ended up switching to manual play up to a point.

Mostly to avoid torpedoes since my fleet kept going into them on Auto Mode.

Once the boss appeared, I switched back to Auto for the rest of the fight — by then, my vanguard had enough HP (and I had enough airstrikes / torpedoes / volleys saved up) to wipe out Boss 1 and take down Hatsuzuki and Wakatsuki during Boss 3.

[viscid swift]

probably could have just done a mob, boss, mob set up

[harsh zephyr]

Well, that’s the thing — this is after I went and did all the other recommendations on the guides posted on this Discord. Taking down the enemy support fleets first, boss fleet only for 1 and 3, circular defense formation, staggering the sub appearances, etc.

[viscid swift]

well running circular formation for everything is probably what did you in

circular formation is reccomended for super CV nodes if you're struggling with AA but for pretty much everything else you go back to double line

heck if you have good AA just go double line for everything

[sweet delta]

mob boss mob means you stack one fleet with the best ships like musashi/raff, cowpens, unicorn, laffii and use it for all mobs and bos 1 + 3. Then the "boss" fleet can be a bunch of crossfleet ships

[hybrid forge]

do you guys know what the setting is for OpSi s oit doesn't ask for confirmation every level on strategic search?

[sweet delta]

reduce tb guidance in the game settings

[hybrid forge]

That's it, thanks

[barren token]

GPH recommends using cube research don't they?

[ivory pawn]

If you want to finish the ships of that season asap and have enough cubes sure. It's not something you need to do.

[sweet delta]

I don't think so

[rain vine]

that ones not really worth the cost or time

[sweet delta]

If you have 1700 cubes then you should do H cube reaearch if you want to finish ships faster. But 4 hour H is pretty inefficient, 0.5 and 1 hour H are the best blueprints per hour and blueprints per cube

[languid trout]

what's the best ways to get oil

besides munitions

[sweet delta]

Touching grass

Oil is the "stamina" of this game

[hushed delta]

commissions*

[rain bobcat]

paying up

[hot turret]

Alright I definitely need a second fleet, here's all my URs, I'm currently saving the Bulins in case Moskva is op as hell otherwise I can max limit break any of them.
I also have the item to retrofit Warspite but I don't know if she's any better than some of the URs I have currently.

I have too many SR to just show screenshots as to not overload your screens so if you got must have recommendations in terms of SR I'll let you know if I have it, also here attached is my current main fleet.

[sweet delta]

what chapter ?

and just show all your SRs, 250 is a small dock

[hot turret]

I currently paused at chapter 11 because I know this is where things start ramping up

[rapid grail]

• better secondary gun and a fire extinguisher on lion
• yeah go build that second fleet for clearing boss ndoes

[sweet delta]

lion unicorn essex eldridge sandy should have no problem one-fleeting until chapter 12, where you will likely farm for the rest of your naval career

[hot turret]

Here's the SR

I just don't really know who to put in a boss fleet and who to place in a mob fleet, I heard Cowpen is also one of the best medics now

[hot turret]

yeah gear is probably my biggest weakness at the moment I will probably ask questions later about it but for now I just want to secure a mob and boss fleet

[sweet delta]

although cowpens is the strongest, you should just go to chapter 12 before farming exp from scratch for new ships like cowpens

Belo Aquila Unicorn Eldridge Sandy anyone
Lion Essex anyone Adalbert Helena Montpelier

[frank phoenix]

Soyuz rerun should come with some other northern parliament ships in the banner,right ?

Having only one ship not helping me with akimov pr xD

[hot turret]

Lion would be for boss right?

[viscid swift]

you can get Gangut from the merit shop

[sweet delta]

at chapter 12, you can level up any ship efficiently, including cowpens, oumi/owari, independence, enterprise, eldridge, and check the endgame tier list for more

[hot turret]

so all these are great ships to have for 12 and higher, got it. thx for reminding me of the tier list I will also check that

[sweet delta]

the only new main fleet ship in the event will be a META faction, not Northern Parliament

oh you said Soyuz rerun, then it's only Soyuz and Poltava

[viscid swift]

just so you know, you can also use Italian ships to grind out Nahkimov

[frank phoenix]

Ye but she needs 200 tech points in northern parliament

Of Wich I'm missing like 180

156 to be precise

[rapid shard]

There is some archives with NP ships if your trying to get points needed fast

[frank phoenix]

I've got time until the rerun+developing the ship itself and I'll have to get ur bullins too

So technically it's not a hurry xD

[viscid swift]

which you can get from vanguards of the faction as well....

like there's a decent number of perma NP ships that you don't to roll to get

[frank phoenix]

Are some np rares in the guild shop?

[rapid shard]

Nakh is also gonna be useless unless you can dev30 her anyway and your far from the amount of bps needed

[viscid swift]

no but check the WA and guild shops
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/ships?nation=7

[frank phoenix]

How many bps does catch-up give ?

[rapid shard]

150

[viscid swift]

like if you want to get the tech, be proactive about it instead of waiting for events

[frank phoenix]

Ehh,not that bad

Ur also needs 500+ bp?

[rapid shard]

Like 512 or 517, cant remember exact

[sweet delta]

513

[frank phoenix]

So I'm like half way there with the catch-up

[sweet delta]

[frank phoenix]

[rapid shard]

Its takes a couple months to get BPs to dev30 a DR so I would just focus on grabbing some NP ships from various shops/archives in mean time.

[frank phoenix]

If I can grab 2-3 with the upcoming np banner it should be good enough

Haven't checked if there's any vanguard tho

Nvm,all cv's xD

[rapid shard]

@sweet delta meant to ask, your dps sheet. Is that assuming 125 200 affinity

[sweet delta]

Read the disclaimers sheet

[rapid shard]

It's bugging out on mobile for me

[frank phoenix]

Where do I get ur bullins outside of protocore shop?

[rapid shard]

Events/cruise pass

[frank phoenix]

🥀

[sweet delta]

All of Google sheets often doesn't load on mobile for me too

[rapid shard]

Its only Google docs that are a coin flip if they work. I cant get the meta doc to load at all on mobile

[rain bobcat]

it will work if you use the app itself

mobile browsers cant load google app format

[nocturne glade]

yea open in sheets and it's fine

[hot turret]

Monthly missions, very easy to grind, the only annoying part is waiting for weekly missions to open lol, but I always get one bulin at the end of the rewards

[wind hazel]

[rain bobcat]

I wonder why

[sweet delta]

They seem to be referring to the bimonthly missions

[soft raft]

While I'm at it while updating my rerun order list, there wasnt any news on new WA right

[covert phoenix]

How much of a difference does not having rainbow G7e torpedoes on my submarines make in world 16?

[late flame]

not very much

[viscid swift]

end game sub content not found error

[late flame]

i basically just slapped on bidders (not optimal but it works)

[harsh drum]

Yeah, 16-2 is bugged with sub support

Gets 100% stuck on this

As soon as you do the sub support, it gets stuck forever on this screen. Nothing moves at all, and timer is stuck

This is the fleet I used

[ocean terrace]

so what do I want to do with this event?
and should I pull on the banner

oh wait it's a standard banner

[soft raft]

just your 1 daily light pull per day
these ships aren't exactly amazing and we literally have a UR event looming around the corner

[ocean terrace]

since I didn't participate during this event, should I just be grinding out Hard stage, or doing them all 15 times

[soft raft]

Only Hard mode is worth doing since that and EX are the only difficulties tha have oil cap

EX also only really worth doing if you can beat it at all, otherwise just grind Hard

[ocean terrace]

and how much should I be grinding till

[soft raft]

Most people stop once they get all of the gold plates
Wouldnt really reccomend going any higher than that

[zenith heron]

Sorry, I haven't tested the Light CV Comp since Lex 2 and WDP but who deals more damage?

The Former: York2 or the Latter?

[sweet delta]

what are you comparing to what

I'm confused by former and latter

[weary edge]

i missed the stream, is the UR coming next maintenance

[wind hazel]

yes

[weary edge]

bang

[wind hazel]

kok

[weary edge]

are there 2 URs or is it just the ca?

[wind hazel]

just the ca

[zenith heron]

Yorktown 2 or Lexington 2, who deals the most dmg?

so that I'll fix my gear equip's considering I have 3 Hvarcats and 2 La9's to use them...

[sweet delta]

the latter

[rapid tusk]

Is level 20 the max level for a cat?

[wind hazel]

30

[errant jacinth]

is chang wu worth getting to MLB? I just got her off light construction

[late flame]

for collection? yes
for actual use in end-game content? no

[errant jacinth]

for collection should I just MLB everyone that I can? within reason

I only have like 250 dock space so I'm just concerned with running out

[zenith heron]

She is too niche to begin with since she is top 3 most dmg dealing vanguards, but needs to be with more Dragon Empery ships, which is sad.
https://youtu.be/6lVAjtg1DAw?si=J2aMz7HV9AXRI0MQ

And Impractical at best

[errant jacinth]

I'm still fairly new so it sounds like she'll be useable at worst

[zenith heron]

At worst, since she needs the same faction Vanguards

As for Extra/Effective HP, I am unsure about her standing to be able to tank, the experienced here probably knows more

[whole crypt]

if you're still fairly new you should pick more effective SRs to raise because costs

[errant jacinth]

I started around the date a live collab, took a break after lexington 2 and came back now

so idk if I'm still considered new?

[whole crypt]

relatively, more importantly if you haven't been playing consistently you'd have been missing out on resources, which is more reason to be careful with your spending

[patent warren]

Hi

[whole crypt]

if you just came back make sure you clear up the red envelopes before next maintenance, there's gems in there which you'll need for dock space

[ocean terrace]

which red envelopes are you referring to?

[inner delta]

The event one from cny

[ivory sigil]

🐥 🧧 the one that give some but all add up to 300

[soft raft]

Do you have a question?

[hardy citrus]

ive got 600k coins, what do i do with all this stuff

[inner delta]

The fast way is dumping on cats

[slim inlet]

Hi is there a core data priority list somewhere?

[onyx flame]

/coredata

[odd root]

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

[odd drum]

hi, do anyone know any fleetbuilder tools? sound like Renhex already drop

[soft raft]

Renhex's is the most updated one
Dunno what you really mean by him dropping it when It's only really missing the two (or 3? idk) ships from this event

[sweet delta]

i think they mean the huge ass message at the top

[whole crypt]

aww renhex moved on?

[stark quiver]

i think i know what they meant by renhex dropping

i also think theyll be missing more than 2 or 3 ships really soon

[soft raft]

Huh, didn't see that on my screen when I pulled it up

Sucks to hear tho, damn

[sleek spade]

Is chang wu good? Should I try to roll her or no?

I got 1k cube but not sure if it’s worth it

[wind hazel]

collection

it's light event though so if you wanna gamba go ahead, 1k is a lot of cubes

[hidden pasture]

Completely new just reach campaign 2, should i pull for more character or progress with basic fleet

[atomic vortex]

How goated is she?

[wind hazel]

progress with the beginner fleet

[hidden pasture]

Alr

[whole crypt]

fairly good but do you have 513 prints for her

[atomic vortex]

No

I only had enough for dev19😭

[whole crypt]

there's time to finish PR8 before 9 comes

[atomic vortex]

Out of prints and that's all I could do

[whole crypt]

just keep researching PR8 with the right picks

[rain timber]

Hey people, between Prinz Eugen, Prinz Adalbert and Prinz Heinrich, is any of them a good tank worth spending SR Bulins on? Or is there a better elite/rare ship for that? I am deciding who to level next...

[tulip tinsel]

no

[dim tundra]

who do I mlb to replace nimi and boise meta with?

how do I complete combat data fast, I've been stuck on this for days

[tulip tinsel]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

[wind hazel]

heinrich is okay

[tulip tinsel]

don't bother with shipyard until w12

[rain timber]

Thanks!
And what else should I take into account when deciding who to level next? Feels like it is so hard to chose
I have a lvl100 Phoenix but I don't think she is scaling well into higher levels...

[dim tundra]

oki

[wind hazel]

generally you can consult the end game tierlist to see who's good, who's not. the above progression guide covers the topic in more depth, should give it a read

[stone lava]

for rigging analysis is there any times that are more efficient than the others?

[rain timber]

So I want mostly C+ W15 ships from the Big Ol' Spreadsheet of Tiers in either mobbing or bossing (whatever I need more), basically. Gotcha, thanks!

[ivory sigil]

maybe take alook at this?

just go with mood

[stone lava]

thx ill save these

mainly focusing gear so i try to only get the DR face

[keen bloom]

guys which one is better on general BBs

are there any exceptional BB ?

[wind hazel]

table white

[cobalt robin]

Table is generally paired with white

[keen bloom]

[livid cave]

Hello guys I have a question, how can I return and select Yorktown Meta as the meta that I want to grind? I picked Arizona out of curiosity

[wind hazel]

they are separate, you can go back to current meta showdown

[sweet delta]

You have to win this one

[sweet delta]

Press auto deploy and wait 15 minutes, then claim rewards and don't start another Arizona

[livid cave]

Alr alr thankssss

[nocturne glade]

For strongholds, do I just want to kill the bosses and leave or should I full clear the area?

[sweet delta]

If you're not auto searching, then you can skip the mobs

Do the boss of each square plus the intruder siren

[nocturne glade]

I turned on autosearching but it just went down a few squares I assume cause of fog

[nocturne glade]

I see, ty!

[livid cave]

@sweet delta thanks for the help it worked

[nocturne glade]

Will I ever need 3 of a timing converging tb or is 2 of each enough? (Currently have 2 each of VIT-2, Junkers, Ryusei, Saiun Kai and Tenzan kai)

[vale spindle]

just craft as you need

u will know when u need more and know when what u have is enough

[nocturne glade]

I see, I guess i'll just chill with 2 for now. Ty!

[sleek spade]

ah ok then thanks!

[wraith pendant]

are there some good Iron Blood CV gear that gets used by other ships than those of said faction ?

I'm looking at Graf Zeppelin skill that increases aircraft efficiency if equipped by at least one IB aircraft

oh got it, BF-109G

[twin bronze]

You can use junkers as well

[nocturne glade]

probably not very easily accessible

[wraith pendant]

I've got 2 of those, I'll slap one on for the time being

thanks, was just looking at fighters, but dive bombers will do the trick

so general consensus is that I'd rather spend protocores on SR BPs than UR ones ? I can buy all BPs I need for the La-09, but then I'm dry, and considering buying BPs to craft a second champ gun for the time where I can use 2 BBs in the same fleet (in 1-2 months)

[onyx flame]

gold ones are timegated so you prob want to get them first

[wraith pendant]

any reason I should grab 380mm over champ gun ? I only see a minor damage diffrence, and reload diff ? Or maybe just get one of each for ... reasons ?

[onyx flame]

you want 3 total whether its 2 champ/1 flandre or 2 flandre/1 champy

[onyx flame]

also depend on how close you are to a meck gun which might let you get away with just 2 of em

[wraith pendant]

yeah I'm looking at this chart a lot, just trying to understand if there's any real diffrence between champ and flandre guns, or just how many bp I'd have of any of them in order to save ressources, in which case I'll just go for the flandre gun since I have 9 BPs from random research

[whole crypt]

champagne gun flandre gun and soyuz gun are by and large sidegrades

[onyx flame]

prob can just get 2 since soyuz is rerunning soon so you can get another ap gun from there

[wraith pendant]

I'm 30 BPs shy for this one, never even thought about checking how many I'd gained from research up until now

[whole crypt]

also why do you have flandre gun prints

[onyx flame]

pr7 focus? prob

[whole crypt]

flandre is 6

[onyx flame]

no wait 6

[nocturne glade]

yea flandre is 6

[wraith pendant]

I really dunno, my focus is on 8

[marble raven]

Need some tips can't clear 15-4 the mob fleet is doing ok not super good but ok.the boss fleet can't kill the last boss.

[wraith pendant]

Well considering finishing Meck gun costs me 1800 cores, and Flandre 240, I'll go for Flandre for now

thanks for the help

[onyx flame]

you get your meck gun prints from research not from the protoshop

[wraith pendant]

allright, thank you. Well I'm on focus 8 atm, and tbh I really don't know for how long I'll be there, since ... well I don't really get why I should prioritize this one (I think DR ship BPs like Meck), so, later for Meck gun

oh wait, Meck gun is 8, silly me

so much info, but i'll get there. Thanks again to all you good and patient people in this sub, you're really helping in navigating all this.

[woven star]

I've noticed that CV cats like Bishimaru have more CV stats instead of CVL. Usually using Bishimaru and Every for Cowpens and Uni mob fleet. Is any better cats option for them?

[undone plover]

probably any cat with mountain/flame
the 3% dmg buff and resistance will apply to the whole fleet not just 1-2 ships

[hollow gust]

Most of the time it should be mob boss mob, NJ just isn't a good BB these days for high end campaign

[glass aurora]

Is it worth trying to get this? I seem pretty close and I’m very lacking in CVs

[hollow gust]

You should be going for PR8, not hoping around season to season

[robust onyx]

Not unless you can get her development lvl30

[glass aurora]

Do you mean like instantly? because I assume there is nothing stopping me from getting there unlock wise

[robust onyx]

She's virtually useless before development lvl30 and will eat up dock space

[glass aurora]

I guess I just hope there is CV in medal shop next month fml

[hollow gust]

Huh that's a garbage ass reasoning?

[robust onyx]

Sure it is

It would take roughly 3-4 months to get her to dev30

[hollow gust]

You don't do Nahkimov because she requires investment in gear and other allies.....BBs are far stronger for newer players.

Every other DR is going to take months of Investment printwise , why would that be in contention??

[robust onyx]

But you would need to grind pr7 research

[glass aurora]

Is it that much of a leap in time? It took me less than a month to get Saint Louis there

[tulip tinsel]

nakhi can't be coined

[robust onyx]

Saint Louis can be coined

[tulip tinsel]

if you really need cv for whatever reason there is independence in core shop

[glass aurora]

Already have her

[hollow gust]

Lexington event wasn't that far behind , you shouldn't lack carriers

[glass aurora]

Don't remember that event

[robust onyx]

Likely started after that event

[glass aurora]

Guam and Laffey II was my first event and It was right at the end so I couldn't get Laffey II

[tulip tinsel]

lex2 event was before christmas iirc

[robust onyx]

Yeah Lexington 2 was before the rerun

[tulip tinsel]

you need to grind like iirc 513bps for her and you can't coin her yet and even with catchup it takes months to get that many bps

[glass aurora]

This is all my CVs. Pretty sure only Unicorn, Independence and Saratoga are worth investing in.

[forest palm]

that would be correct

[hollow gust]

you are still in early game, more then sufficent

[slow mulch]

how do u farm for specific ships in War Archives? Just keep doing the levels until a SR drops?

[north gorge]

I wouldn't farm for drops in war archives

unless you've got nothing else to spend oil on

[slow mulch]

I'm not playing for meta

[whole crypt]

the SR ship drop is usually only in B3/D3
not usually recommended but depends on what ship you're after

[slow mulch]

Jean Bart

[whole crypt]

JB doesn't drop from maps

[slow mulch]

?

[north gorge]

She's in the monthly SR from medal shop when it's BB, so just wait for that

[whole crypt]

wait for the BB pool to show up in medal shop

[slow mulch]

BB?

[whole crypt]

battleship

[north gorge]

It will be like this except saying 'SR BB'

[slow mulch]

okay thanks

[copper drum]

How to use this?

[tulip tinsel]

click on a ship' affinity and gift

+5 affinity to a ship

[ivory sigil]

Click on ship and click to affinity (stranger/friendly/love/crush) icon

[copper drum]

Ouh, thanks a lot

[exotic sorrel]

What about DukeYork

Think I got her in D3 after like a few rounds

[hollow gust]

That includes Duke of York

[exotic sorrel]

She's not that good as a BB?

Oh no I just finished getting her support skill to level 10 😭 the one that increases the dmg enemies take when they get hit by her salvo

[hollow gust]

Her damage is abysmal, that skill only worked back then when there aren't UR BBs with her gimmick built in

[onyx flame]

at least she got +2 rld fleet tech at 120

[tawdry topaz]

If I oath Yorktown 2 will I get the original Oath skin?

[dim tundra]

[soft raft]

#gameplay-help message

Go read that first cuz both of those fleets are very scuffed
Not to mention you dont appear to be ready to work on 2 fleets at once

[dim tundra]

thx

[inland seal]

Heyya, I just returned and saw the ongoing event. Should i farm hard stages only?

[onyx flame]

38k points then bail use tickets on EX if you can clear em

[inland seal]

38k and there are only 3 days left

Lmao ig just gonna reach 10k at best, tyy anw

[undone plover]

It is a raid type event
U can prob farm that in 1 day if u wanted to

[keen bloom]

[forest palm]

you can do this in a day

21 sets of 15 + 2 additional runs will net you 38k btw

assuming Hard farming

[tawdry topaz]

38k? what's the final reward

[soft raft]

After that there's 2 PR8 blank BPs at 48k points and a single Rainbow tech crate at 60k

neither are really worth it because 2 BPs is basically nothing and while the crate is Rainbow, it's more like guarenteed SR because you can't get rainbow gear from tech crates

[glossy iron]

just started the game, any tips or anything that I should do?

[undone plover]

what is the challenge boss armor?

the event one where u pick the buffs

[twin bronze]

Medium

[sweet delta]

i believe Chang Wu is medium armor

[undone plover]

does RPG aux stack?

[onyx flame]

it does but it stacks weirdly iirc, (i cant find the message for the life of me)

[sweet delta]

the message was on reddit and youtube

[sweet delta]

If the RPGs are equipped on the same ship, it is as if only 1 RPG were equipped.
If the RPGs are equipped on different ships, each rolls the effect independently. But some effects stack and some don't:

1. Stats for faction count stacks, up to 10. So if you have 6 factions and both RPGs choose this buff, you get +10% stats, not +12%.
2. Barrage doesn't stack. Your flagship only fires 1 barrage if both RPGs choose this.
3. Heal stacks.

[undone plover]

thanks

[polar venture]

Is there a # of ships (example royal navy for Plymouth) I want in my team if Im grinding xp for lab ships? Or is can just have 1?

[sweet delta]

the more you have (of the correct vanguard/main), the earlier you finish

[wraith pendant]

Considering my only viable CA atm is Anchorage, should I start coining roon while I wait for enoug bulins to mlb Guam after whichever main fleet UR I'd get my hands on first ?

which would be Musashi in around 2 months of daily pulls

I might also add that if I finish developping Roon I'll have to wait for rng to have enough mats to retrofit Sandy, which I have no use for atm anyway (I'd mainly use Roon in OpSi to clear strongholds with a 2nd acceptable fleet)

[sweet delta]

with laffii and anchorage, you don't need another CA. Use Eugen if you must have a tank. Roon is more DPS than tank in opsi

[wraith pendant]

ok thanks, main thing I'm lacking in OpSi is damage. I can clear Strongholds but I need to hop out of them and heal + resolve backup three or four times to clear one stronghold

and the Sirens with "heals X amount for 15 seconds when reaching 30% HP" are just a nightmare

I'm working on Independance, mainly need her leveled up and finish skills, I assume she will make a good improvement over Perseus or Saratoga in the damage department

Anyway I think I can stick with Friedrich Carl as tank for second fleet, Eugen is so god damn bad, even as a tank

and I should be able to start working on FdG by the end of next week, and hopefuly have her up and running a month and a half or so. My only usable BB atm is Constellation

[forest palm]

Eugen as a tank should have no issues....her damage on the other hand is shit

[wraith pendant]

Well that's interesting because if I give her the same gear as Friedrich Carl she just goes down way faster

all defensive skills are level 10 for both

and FC does more damage overall

maybe I'm missing something

[forest palm]

pending on what's available to you this is what a CA should be wearing as a generic loadout

[wraith pendant]

I have washing machine and beaver badge

since I run Cowpens in my main fleet healing isn't really an issue

that single ship has been carrying my ass for the past 4 chapters, and all of OpSi

she's so god dam great

[forest palm]

should be using Unicorn as well

[wraith pendant]

I am, but as I progress my gear I find myself lacking more in the damage department than surviability

so I'm swapping her out more often

mainly to level other main fleet ships for faction points

[rain vine]

if anything you would be swapping out cowpens, not unicorn

[wraith pendant]

but cowpens does double the damage Unicorn does

in every encounter

I mean I have Unicorn fully leveled, skills, 125, retrofit, she's been my first maxed out ship

and I do use her when I push chapters, but that's the only scenario

[rain vine]

what gear do you have on unicorn?

[wraith pendant]

I mean, maybe her reload skill for vanguard would be more interesting than Cowpen, it's just my vanguard is mostly ass except for LaffeyII

I can swap the Barracuda out for the breguet

[forest palm]

well that'd be a massive improvement...

[wraith pendant]

it's equipped on Cowpens :p

[rain vine]

thats probably why cowpens is doing better

along with the likelihood that cowpens is clearing everything before unicorn launches

[wraith pendant]

allright, thank you very much I'll try keeping Unicorn in my main fleet, swapping Cowpens to 2nd instead of Perseus, and see where that RLD buff gets me

[wraith pendant]

she tends to do that on easy fights, but even in longer ones she outdamages the cute little Uni

but I'll swap gear

[rain vine]

the benefit of unicorn retro is that she gets a preload, so you get an immediate heal at the beginning of the fight as well as clearing out the initial waves

[wraith pendant]

Yes, I've noticed

thanks for the tips Shady

[rain vine]

independence retro is a good damage option for backline

[sweet delta]

the reload skill is insignificant, cowpens naturally does massively more damage than unicorn with the same gear,
you should consolidate the strongest damage ships (which may include cowpens) on a few boss fleets in opsi

[wraith pendant]

on that topic, and until I get Independance up and running (next week), who's best damage wise : Saratoga or Graf Zeppelin (provided I equip her with on IB plane) ?

I have Saratoga retrofitted + augmennt

[livid wyvern]

for proto shop, is the la-9 or tenrai higher priority?

[sweet delta]

It's unknown and doesn't matter that much

[rigid onyx]

a first tenrai is more useful to an account than an la-9 imo but tenrais are available from gear lab, so it's impossible to say whats higher priority

[ember crest]

Can I only get Hai Chou during this banner or can she rarely show up outside of this event too? I've done like 150 builds and she hasn't shown up t-t

[sweet delta]

She will be gone for a year or more

[ember crest]

Dang okay I guess I'll try a bit more then

[rigid onyx]

how many cubes are you at

[vale spindle]

you can and probably should save for the next event if you are low on cubes

[ember crest]

Is there info on the next one?

[vale spindle]

yes check #game-news

[ember crest]

Ohh okay, ty

[sweet delta]

Even without info, you can bet there will regularly be UR banners throughout the year

[ember crest]

Yeah I knew I prob shouldn't have used as many cubes with no UR but I was trying to collect everyone 🙃

[sweet delta]

From a gameplay rewards standpoint, you should get good ships first before going for collection

[livid wyvern]

gotcha, on the note for gear lab as a early-mid player what should i be prioritising to craft

[ember crest]

Do all banners repeat eventually? I haven't been playing too long

[white agate]

is the next ur this thursday?

[sweet delta]

If you try for every banner, you'll miss ships from most banners. Total time to complete is 3-6 years. If you save a stockpile in your first years and only build URs, and then you start collecting all banners, then it's extremely unlikely to miss a ship so you can complete all in 3-4 years

The CNY ships get added a year later in the perma pool, one of the fastest time for ships

[frank phoenix]

Should I pr her after Bayard or go back to pr1 stuff? XD

[woven star]

Do you have Shimanto? Anyway why pr1?

[frank phoenix]

Cuz I don't have fleet thech for PR2 and above

[frank phoenix]

Probably not

[woven star]

You can't coining Bayard. So Brest only one option. Weird situation a4me.
Usually Roon->FdG
How many points to Anchorage, Plymouth and FdG you need?

This can help https://azurlaneecgc.com/fleet_technology/ @frank phoenix

Btw Plymouth and Shimanto missed. Actually IJN and Royal fleet Outdated

[frank phoenix]

Mostly nothing in the other fleets xD

[woven star]

I guess you just started. So better read guides #bot-spam message you have nothing to do now. Even if you'll get Brest (this should be near 50k coins and 10 cubes) you couldn't coining her. If you didn't reach chapter 12 in story missions just use newbie fleet 1

[wraith pendant]

If you can farm chap 11, what I did is sort my dock for IB ships (Elite or SR), then put them in the dorm (starting with SR) until lvl 70 > exp book to 100, then into fleet for exp farm on 11-1 (or above) until 120. If you check faction points, you realize ships give a nice amount if you MLB + lvl 120 them (I went for the ships I could use later). Then the 600+ IB points to unlock FdG look a lot less daunting

Plus I didn't have any "good" ship (meta wise) to level anyway, so might as well work on faction points while waiting for something usefull

[wraith pendant]

what's the best way to level up subs outside of dorm and events ?

[forest palm]

like you'd level any other ship

[spark moth]

What happens when I complete the research focus, do I get the ship or do I get 150 of the blueprints?

[stark quiver]

150 blueprints

[ivory pawn]

You got 150 blueprints (if DR).

[frank phoenix]

yeah,i'm just casually xp farming 12-4 atm

[wraith pendant]

same here, I'll have the IB req for FdG in about 3 days

then I'll start working on Northern Parliament

[wraith pendant]

I read they were limited to gaining exp from ships dying in their hunting zone

[forest palm]

outside of Raids (which is the current event), there isn't really a min/max or optimal way to level subs, so you just have to use them an call them into regular fights

[wraith pendant]

allright thanks ! Only have to level 3 anyway so I'll get there eventually

[frank phoenix]

My i-404 is lvl 112 just from chilling around in missions

No proper gear or lb whatsoever xD

[vapid valve]

So I hit my 400 limit for a free UR which one should I get since I have NJ
Shinano
Musashi
Ulrich
And
York2
I also have a few other units as well

I forgot to add on I got this UR invite that allow me to bring NJ or shinano for free for completing the rookie missions

[whole crypt]

just take Musashi to LB Musashi

and MLB yourBisZwei at least

[vapid valve]

Great going to do that now and about the rookie UR invite what should I do with that

[whole crypt]

you can take a NJ to LB your NJ but you don't have to do that till MLB so just sit on it for now

how many bulins do you have total and how many more can you buy

[vapid valve]

7 to 8 maybe

[whole crypt]

MLB Guam, BisZwei, save the rest for Moskva
also you don't need to buy UR bulins until you actually want to use them

[vapid valve]

I have been on an endless grind to get more of them and get more weapons so I can start equipping them to other units as well

[whole crypt]

UR bulins are gated to 8000 spec cores each month and 1 every 2 months from cruise pass, besides event, you can't grind more than that
I'm saying you don't have to spend your spec cores to buy them until you actually use them

[vapid valve]

And on top of that get a few of the retrofits completed as well since I’m working on currently getting San deiego ayanami and a few other units as well

[fluid fjord]

Are you saying moskva because you assume she’s going to be good or has her kit come out and people have already decided she’s good?

[whole crypt]

new gacha URs have never failed to be good, regardless of whether she'll turn out to be good once you spend the bulins there's no way back so it's better to save first

[fluid fjord]

I’m new and I have Guam and Lexington, I haven’t gotten to the 400 ur pulls yet (I know I’m supposed to get musashi), but I wasn’t sure if the new ur would be a hard contender for my first ur to mlb

[whole crypt]

in your case ask again when Moskva is out, also how far are you from perm pity

[fluid fjord]

I think it’s only 40 cubes which I have over 200, so I’ll get pity while I’m trying to pull the new ur

[whole crypt]

active UR banners do not count to perm pity

[fluid fjord]

Wtf

[vapid valve]

I am trying to get more cubes for the new UR coming soon and yes that’s true

[fluid fjord]

Laaaaaame, ok then it might still be a little before I get the perma pity ur then

[whole crypt]

active UR banners only count to their own pity

[fluid fjord]

Are their own pity’s 400 as well?

[vapid valve]

It’s 200 for pity

[whole crypt]

200 builds in the banner which is equal to 400 cubes

[fluid fjord]

Ok, so I probably won’t hit pity but maybe I’ll get lucky lol. But thanks for the heads up

[whole crypt]

have you bought the cubes from the commissions thing yet

[vapid valve]

I haven’t got the cubes yet but I need the books

[forest palm]

how many cubes do you have now?

[vapid valve]

299

[fluid fjord]

Ya other than the last set which is locked behind chapter 8 and I’m not high enough lv to go to ch8 yet

[forest palm]

you should be fine then imo you'll more than likely make up for that 101 cubes between now and end of the event

[whole crypt]

how far are you, can you reach it before/during the event?

[fluid fjord]

I’ll probably reach it during the event. I have to be level 60 and I believe I’m 57 or 58 so I’m close. Then it’s just about moving through the 4 stages

[cosmic wasp]

Didn't know you can limit break using other character.
I just wasted my cubes getting limited SR on banner

Worst of it I cannot use the other one to limit break cause I accidentally lvl her up

[south sequoia]

U can still use the levelled one to lb og

[dense crag]

should I replace Queen Elizabeth with Vanguard? the fleet that I have is primarily made up of Royal Navy ships, I tried each of them, but I'm not sure about the difference it made

[onyx flame]

unless your vanguard is max limit break, you shouldnt be using her
also obligatory faction fleet is bad
i would swap QE for a better bb in general

[cosmic wasp]

Here what can I do?

[exotic sorrel]

Same issue I'm still not captain level 60 yet so I can't access

[south sequoia]

Take off the lock on the dupe and press this button

[cosmic wasp]

Thanks

Gonna lvl her up now

[left ferry]

what ship should i replace shimakaze with? for a boss fleet/exercise

[boreal merlin]

what are your other ships even?

For exercise/pvp just refer to this
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BewmBsf4EWKAf_UwYax05c7ksL51y6sjs96pIwD73Jc/edit?gid=37675266#gid=37675266

for boss fleet u gotta show your dock (screenshot) + what boss, so peeps can assess your fleet

[left ferry]

i have just about every ship, excluding colabs

[ripe yoke]

Help with w-15 and general fleet building

[boreal merlin]

You can just replace Shima with Plym, Z52, Unzen, or Hinden for boss. They'll have more dmg uptime than Shimmy

[covert sierra]

What's the main gun for musashi against medium armor?

[stone lava]

daisen

[sweet delta]

Bottom row of first table https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/#main-fleet-weapons-bb-main-gun

[brave canyon]

is frontier medal's effect pvp only?

[trim depot]

should i still take a 4h Q research over a 4h G one even if im focusing on ships

[covert sierra]

Oh it's on research

[boreal merlin]

yea

You can still use it for PVE. Stat wise it's the same with gold steam catapult just with 15 less hp

[chrome fox]

@twin bronze wait am i high then???

soz ping btw

[twin bronze]

DR ships dont have fs5 yet only PR ships (shimanto, felix and flandre) have it.

DRs are inconsistent with fs5 schedule

[chrome fox]

nooooooooooo this is a scammm. i forgot about that

[scarlet cosmos]

whats the power diff between lvl 120 and 125?

Also, did they change the amount of fleets we need to fight for boss in 16-3?

[hidden pasture]

Can anyone help me build a mob fleet and a boss fleet pls, my 1st fleet is doing all the job and its start to overwhelm somehow

And im pretty bad in gear usage also😔💧

[whole crypt]

where it matters up to 10% damage dealt/received
where it doesn't matter basically nothing
stats don't change by much in those 5 levels it's the level advantage for late content where it counts

[tulip tinsel]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

Get unicorn

[hidden pasture]

Does the method to get her in the guide?

[tulip tinsel]

Yes

[scarlet cosmos]

Ah I see, thank you

[tulip tinsel]

She's in guild shop in the elites

[hidden pasture]

Alr tks alot

[scarlet cosmos]

I know people use Illustrious for support fleet -- but would it make sense to use her for boss? I notice my fleet getting a lot of dmg before reaching final boss

[whole crypt]

the ship levels look fairly early, where are you stuck right now because you probably should still be going by one fleet

take a look through the progression guide but by and large you should be consolidating XP, limit breaks and gear for 1 fleet and it should take care of most things up to ch9 or even 12

[stark quiver]

No

[whole crypt]

Illustrious is used in support for her fighter capacity, her actual in-fight output is 🚮

[scarlet cosmos]

Hmm.. What can I do for my boss fleet then?

I have no issues getting to the boss fight, but when I do use my boss fleet -- my vanguard is low by the time I fight the boss

[whole crypt]

if it's for late campaign you might want to post all the details in a thread so we can check what can be causing you the problem(s)

the pressure is high overall so without knowing exactly what you're using it can be hard to pinpoit

[scarlet cosmos]

Sounds good

Ah wait you actually recommended me a strat before and I found the thread -- Im going to try it and get back to here if any problems came up

[hidden pasture]

Alrighty

[inner delta]

thoughts are more suited for #al-general

[whole crypt]

#al-general is that way

[scarlet cosmos]

i also do not get this map

[inner delta]

gimme your w16 auto 3star

[scarlet cosmos]

what do the air fields mean?

[whole crypt]

16-4?

[inner delta]

all 4

is it different for 1 2 and 3 4?

[whole crypt]

16-4 fleet should work for 16-3 not sure aboaut 16-1 and 2 cause I changed up a bit

[inner delta]

o

[whole crypt]

at the very least 1/2 use different support fleets from 3/4

[whole crypt]

they're literally airfields on the map
supposedly they should add like 80 planes to the enemy air waves if you don't destroy them using the map airstrike but currently they do not add or do anything if you have air superiority or supremacy

[inner delta]

wait, is bug again like 15 before thinkies, then its time to do them before they get harder

[whole crypt]

you're not trying to lethal 3-star right?

[scarlet cosmos]

ohh sounds good, im clear then!

[inner delta]

i mean if you got the fleet for it idm going for it, but i usually dont do that

[hallow mountain]

bruhhh

what's a good comp for world 14-4 btw

[whole crypt]

I personally think it's not worth the RNG because 0 ammo BB nodes are a mess

[hallow mountain]

im struggling with Perseus, Uni, and Aqula for mob fleet in 14-4

[inner delta]

o, yeah then im not doing it. Like i haven't even 3* my w15 cuz i cant be arse

[whole crypt]

I barely managed it on 16-3 but I didn't want to waste more oil testing for 16-4 after I reached the escort count for star

[inner delta]

fair enough

[inner delta]

you dont need all 3 of them, get a bb musashi or smth

percy out, change bb

[whole crypt]

specifically for ch14 using triple carrier for mobbing is asking to fail

unless you can somehow tell me it isn't your carriers dying which raises an even bigger question

[whole crypt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3WURqkEV2U I think Jimmy covered it fairly well unless you just want a copy and paste fleet

[inner delta]

did you also used that or

[whole crypt]

similar

[inner delta]

mkay then

[whole crypt]

he's not even using "best" setups

[inner delta]

what's the best setup

[whole crypt]

probably easier to copy CN then let me see if I can find it

[inner delta]

oke

im going to brb for a sec, just ping me with the link later

[frank phoenix]

so ch 13 is just a big avi/aa check?

[slender jackal]

I used to use Slaimuda or what was the name of the EQ for ships, but I noticed that since october of 2025 the site is dead... do you have any other similar side that helps with shipgirls EQ?

[onyx flame]

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

oh right this too
https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/

[hidden pasture]

Should i pull this

[slender jackal]

wait... so the first link works for like each ship of the class? Like each EQ would be the same? The site I used prepared different EQ for every girl I think

[sleek flower]

you dont pull that. you do the missions on the right there to get the ship

[hidden pasture]

Ah alr

Tks 😘

[onyx flame]

its listed in the disclaimer section of the guide, but yea msot can follow it as a general guide
you ofc have to tweak stuff if a ship girl need specific types of gear or there is syncing involve

[hidden pasture]

Btw do you need to be in a guild to use the guild shop

[onyx flame]

you dont have to be in a guild to use the guild shop

but being in a guild make it easier to earn the currency as well as plates for gear upgrades

[slender jackal]

hmmm I see... well that is better than going blind, even though the site feels different. Thank you for the links!

[onyx flame]

mostly an AA check

[hidden pasture]

Oh okay, where is the guild shop😔

[inner delta]

is the cn w16 actually that much different from what jimmy did

[whole crypt]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1hViRBfErt can try this, might have to swap a carrier to BB for boss fleet in 16-1 and 16-2

jimmy used "worse" ships in the video

[inner delta]

oh right, this one is just the premium "you have everyone" kind of thing

[whole crypt]

if you listen to what he says he also mentions better options, and he has links to clear vids too

[inner delta]

yeah ok

[whole crypt]

just thought jimmy would be easier to swallow since I can't find the exact CN clear comp pics

[onyx flame]

Shop > supply > Guild

[inner delta]

yeah, but this bili also fine thanks

[hidden pasture]

Tks awot

[inner delta]

the more option the better

[whole crypt]

if you're not doing 0ammo raff is fine for mob BB and helps vanguard healing

aquila naturally also can be swapped for cowpens in that case

[inner delta]

why would you want 0 ammo, or its just for 1 and 2 and 3

[whole crypt]

all of the 4 maps can be done with no 0-ammo fights if you're not doing lethal 3star

[inner delta]

oh yeah no, im not going 3star

[whole crypt]

1/2 needs you to kill the boss on entry to cut down a fight or something

[inner delta]

you said it was pain and i trust

[whole crypt]

which means using a fishpack may or may not be with 404

3/4 checks by "visibility level" mechanic which is based on your AVI

[inner delta]

o ok

[whole crypt]

16-4 specifically with enough AVI you can open boss node with 4 mob fights

[inner delta]

is there any specific sub setup for the torp or just the normal is fine

[whole crypt]

404fishpack preferred for just being the best

rainbow torps if possible

[inner delta]

oke

the rich option best, got it

[hidden pasture]

I should retrofit unicorn first right?

[inner delta]

ye

[hidden pasture]

Fully?

[hidden pasture]

Or to a point

[inner delta]

yeah full

[hidden pasture]

Okir

[inner delta]

fish is what, flash alba?

[onyx flame]

flasher archerfish

[inner delta]

k

[hidden pasture]

Should i push campaign or farm for max retrofit unicorn first

Ive clear camp 4

[onyx flame]

? idk how you want to farm retrofit unicorn, you can only do 3 hard stages a day

[hidden pasture]

Wait i didnt see that

Mb

[inner delta]

@whole crypt the vid you sent have cv as support, am i missing smth lol

oh its just for -4?

[onyx flame]

3/4 is cv, while 1/2 is subs

[inner delta]

yea ok

[wraith pendant]

you can also get guaranteed retrofit T2 and T3 items by 3 starring relevant hard stages. For Unicorn I believe those are X-4 hard stages. Check the "Side Quest" in your Missions tab, and scroll down, you'll see them

This allows to retrofit a few of each hull type ships you'd want to build without having to rely on the drop rng from hard stages right off the bat

[steel rune]

hii, how do i get tech points? i know it's from getting shipgirls and all but can anyone give tips to get more?

[wraith pendant]

You get tech points by 1/ owning the ship 2/ MLB the ship and 3/ leveling the ship to 120

Then it's a matter of choosing, given your dock, and the easily accessible options to you, and the amount of points that is your goal, which route to take to access said amount of points

You can see how much points you get for 1/, 2/ and 3/ by checking out the ship's page on the wiki

and also, a breakdown for each faction here https://azurlaneecgc.com/fleet_technology/

[steel rune]

thank you sm!!!

[wraith pendant]

The way I chose as a newb is to replace one or 2 ships in my main fleet with ships I own that will net me the most amount of tech points by leveling them up to 120, and I just keep them in my fleet during my daily exp farm

so they eventualy reach 120, and that's done for this ship. Tech points climb a good bit without you noticing by doing this

I was a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing before I started doing this tbh

[onyx flame]

you should really only account tech points you get from obtain and mlb
reserve 120 for ships your using or going to use/good fleet tech

[hidden pasture]

Ive clear campaign 4, is there anything worth farm for in those 4 campaign

[onyx flame]

no, your first prio is pushing to chp 9 for oil capped stages

[hidden pasture]

Okay

[stoic goblet]

Hello, I got back to the game recently after 2 years and want to do opsi again. Is there anyone who could assist me with making 4 fleets capable of getting through opsi?

[wind hazel]

post your dock in a thread

[hidden pasture]

No need to 3star all of them right? Push to camp 9 then 3staring them is that an option

[wind hazel]

yes you can do that

[tulip tinsel]

You should 3 star the highest so you can do higher hard mode for more core data

[hidden pasture]

Okay

[onyx flame]

i would 3 star at least chp 3 so that you can start from hard chp 3 to try get gold prints. you could go higher but you have to see how much you progress

[hidden pasture]

Ive 3stared camp 1 to 3

4 is pretty hard to 3stared cuz my 2nd fleet is nothing but a joke

[wind hazel]

you shouldnt be using a 2nd fleet

unless it's for stats requirement, fodder fleet

you'll be fighting with your beginner fleet most of the time until maybe hard 6++

[red sapphire]

Hi, I have a +13 and a +10 Tenrai. Who do I give the +13 one, Hakuhou or Shinano? The +10 goes to the other

[trim depot]

should I take 1.5hr G or a 2.5hr G

[onyx flame]

1.5

[onyx flame]

nano has more efficiency while having the same no of dbs, so she prob takes the +13 one

[red sapphire]

Okay, thank you

[mighty tulip]

Do we get anything cool by continuing to do the private quarters stuff? I just unlocked it.

[plain saffron]

gifts to increase shipgirls affinity, though idk how much the total and if it's worth the effort

[mighty tulip]

Oh, I have like none of the girls in that list besides Taihou and i’m not even actively leveling her up 😬

[whole crypt]

private quarters has nothing to do with main game, it's island planner that has affinity items

[whole crypt]

private quarters is 3d dorm

[plain saffron]

wait lol i thought of the farming thingy

my bad 🏃‍♂️

[onyx flame]

only thing you really get out from 3d dorm is the ability to change the bg of the HQ menu

[mighty tulip]

Oh so just cosmetic changes, got it

[hidden pasture]

Whats the best way to level up the team tho

Btw how to know which gun is better than another

[whole crypt]

just check the gear guide, understanding the numbers get fairly complicated

what team are you leveling

[hidden pasture]

Shoulf i farm gears in stage 4-2, i think im lacking level to clear camp 6 rn

[hidden pasture]

Let me do a thread

Where can i do one tho

Or maybe i'll send here if ít fine

[mighty tulip]

From new player to new player, I would not use oil to farm gear

[hidden pasture]

👽hmm alr

I just do it cuz this say so

[whole crypt]

ectl is out of date

[hidden pasture]

Bruh😔

What do we have now

Btw heres what i have rn, only focus on the 1st fleet so 2nd fleet maybe look hilarious somehow

[mighty tulip]

I would get Helena from shop since she’s usable end game and drop Indi

Also as a new player you want to only use one fleet

[hidden pasture]

I use the shop to get unicorn alrd, should i reset

[hidden pasture]

Hmm alr

[mighty tulip]

I did what you did and the community said this exact same thing to me. Use your starter fleet forever everything

[hidden pasture]

Okay

[mighty tulip]

Worth to reset to get Helena, Uni, Portland, and Penny as a solid 4 ship fleet

[hidden pasture]

Oh btw

[mighty tulip]

You want Penny as Flagship with Uni and your Lex since you have her leveled and then for your front you want Portland-Helena-Z23

[hidden pasture]

I never do this be4, am i trollin

[hidden pasture]

Portland better than Indianapolis? Alr tks

Oh and btw whats the best way to farm xp beside using dorm

[mighty tulip]

Portland is better and tankier.

Plus has retrofit

[alpine plover]

where are the rest of the card? are they lock behind a item?

[hidden pasture]

Do all the quest tho, drawing, pacman, fireworks...

[mighty tulip]

Did you do drawing book, the pacman game, etc~

[hidden pasture]

Okay okay
