sonaru still works fine, I don't see how Soyuz is more spoot than NJ
if you replace Soyuz in sonaru for medium you're taking her out of heavy or light
or just out of generic bismecklion
forest palm
Soyuz is going to be a benchwarmer if you have Moscow, mostly because there's a higher ceiling that can be achieved
whole crypt
if it's for Yorktown META throwing Moskva in means replacing one of the summoners or Trafalgar, I'm not sure swapping Soyuz out for Lion on top of that will net your any better
if it's for CM... current CM is heavy
as it stands there's very little reason or relevant testing for a nakhimov comp with soyuz replaced
we don't exactly have a completed Moskva anywhere yet either

URs so weird, they belong anywhere but dont at the same time

Out of all urs never expected for soyuz to be in this situation lol
Its just because of the Reliance of Nakhimov, which its either Soyuz or Moskva, depending the situation

Yet shinano is 4 years older than soyuz lol

Somewhat Transitional if its the right word
whole crypt
Soyuz is 3.5 years newer yes
glossy granite
Imma still mlb soyuz when she comes out i love my russian ships
whole crypt
Moskva is not a one-to-one replacement of Soyuz because they occupy different slots
Soyuz's CV debuff isn't going to be replaced by Moskva's 5% AA debuff so whoever replacing Soyuz's debuff needs to do more damage and replace the damage buff margin
Lion can do that but Lion is currently also being used in other comps
when Shinano was replaced by Hakuhou in triple IJN Hakuhou isn't being contested in other comps

Or i should just get perma banned for my dumbness

there is no single encounter now where you'd reasonably replace Soyuz with Moskva
it's not like when we got enough rainbow BBs that NJ fell off from pure output, or Vanguard subsequently

Ops definitely could add more enemies types, more boss types, newer modifiers, there's a lot of way to update ops without ostracizing low end players

if doing those things do not increase the difficulty it's as good as making no changes because we're already steamrolling OS

whole crypt
don't know what to tell you it's been like that ever since analyzing blueprints existed, if you do not have the ship at at least dev30 you simply cannot analyze any of the ship's prints
the only toggle is for whether you want to lock prints for FS
dark bolt
its all good, just commenting on it

if you havent devolped them does the face researchs still stop after getting enough prints for dev30?

more precisely they will stop appearing when you have enough for the ship's current max, depending on your focus
if you're focusing on PR7 now for example, researches for dev30 but not FS PRs will appear but dev30 DRs will not

Gem Spending 101
Gems 
in Azur Lane are fairly rare from an F2P perspective. However, the gacha in Azur lane does not require gems and their main usage is expansion of facilities like dorm, academy, docks and depot, as well as buying resources, resource packs, premium items (rings and name change), and skins.
As an F2P, you can get up to 4900 guaranteed gems (3750 for 3* clearing all 15 main campaign worlds, 900 for completing Bands collection and 150 for 8 days login campaign), not counting random gems from commissions or occasional bonuses from events or other sources.
Considering limited availability of gems for F2P players, even if spent exclusively on QoL upgrades, it is impossible to upgrade everything.
This is the recommended way to spend gems as an F2P:
- 3rd Dorm slot (300 gems)
- Dorm 2nd floor (500 gems)
- Dock space (remaining gems)
The main purpose of the dorm is for faster morale regen while grinding. Using ships with 0 morale will receive a 50% exp penalty and lose affinity.
The 2nd floor of the dorm will have the same number of slots as the 1st floor. While it lacks passive exp gain, it has faster morale regen. 3 dorm slots with the 2nd floor gives you a total of 6 slots, which is enough for your whole mob fleet.
Dock space is the biggest constraint for players. While this can help casual players collect all their waifus, there is also practical use in collecting ships - for later levelling to get their fleet tech on reaching lvl 120. These are important for players as they provide crucial additional stats that help players to tackle the hardest content (W14/15, H.Arbiters, CM).
Alternatively, players may consider getting the 3rd Academy slot for faster skill training or more dorm slots instead of just dock space (not recommended).
While players may opt to buy skins/rings with the F2P gems, this will come at the cost of QoL. It is recommended to only buy those with real money 💳.

Oh? Why?

because they are all either downgrade or too little upgrade over what you're using

They are usable , but not at the same power level as certain ships that get recommended a lot

I didn't understand this whole meta ship thing tbh. Back in the day I remember the best is UR and SR.

I see, well.. How much of an upgrade is it between Muse Taihou and standard Taihou?

muse is a downgrade
like i said, nobody from CV medal will be worth or will be replacing what you're already using
if you want upgrade, consider getting independence from core shop

Hmm I see.. How is formidable doing at current game meta tho? I remember many people calls out her time stop ability.

my daily system is >daily raids>pvp (exercises)>hard mode + some other daily stuff that'll take around 10-15 mins, then just grinding
grinding being just setting the fleet prepared to auto farm without changing anything

elfin hollow
Cool
silk sphinx
like so many ship, so many guns, so many ships and so on
as your account gets stronger eventually you'll have extra copies of various gear
so you don't need to swap gear as much unless it's really difficult content and even then you can prob manage with your good old UR fleets
elfin hollow
also about gear. I got the canon and the hedgehog. who should I give it too?
silk sphinx
and you'll be levelling ships to lv120+ so that takes a long while, minimal swapping
hedgehog ignore it, it's for maps with submarine type enemies
you'll use it in campaign in much later chapters otherwise essentially never
it's a very useful/important gear piece there, the best anti-sub gear in fact, and you only get one, but v circumstantial due to enemy subs not being that common outside of late campaign chapters
elfin hollow

In terms of gems per $

if you've already spent your doubles then the value of lucky bags go up a bit, moreso if you were going to get any/all of the skins anyway

Am I correct to conclude that specialized cores only uses are always just the rainbow Bulins and, when needed, one of the retrofit items from the shop? Or am I overlooking something?
sweet delta
That is correct, and you don't need to buy the bulin until you will use it
rain timber
That is correct, and you don't need to buy the bulin until you will use it
And are UR LBs like all other in the sense that I need 4 Bulins/copies to MLB?

As for priority you can ask here if you don't know which to MLB
Because UR bulins are so time gated, it's especially important to not waste them
slow charm
Trying to get 9 pieces of gear to level 8+ for the beginner missions. Does anyone have advice on which pieces of gear are valuable/important enough to upgrade based off of what I have or perhaps a document/resource that could give me a better idea on what's worth equipping, using, and upgrading?
rain timber
As for priority you can ask here if you don't know which to MLB
I mean I only have Musashi for now, and not sure if I will be able to get the guaranteed Moskva before the event ends. I think I'm down to comission RNG otherwise it will be pretty close 💀
I kinda had the idea limited URs are just generally plain better than permanent URs? Or are you talking like, depending on my fleet comp, etc. then having a vanguard or a main fleet UR can be a different priority? 🤔
sweet delta
Musashi the best perma UR could be better than some limited URs
And in general you should save up 4 bulins to go straight from 0LB to MLB. But as a new player there may be merits to a 2LB UR depending on your dock

What are those purple colored bullets? I thought only HE and AP types existed?
that's SAP typically, which is an ammo type specifically for Medium Armored targets
Orange-ish bullets indicate Normal Ammo

Ohh so it's not AP that's best against medium ? Only heavy armor?

yes, but we don't have much of anything that utilizes SAP that would make it better to use over AP

Gem Spending 101
Gems in Azur Lane are fairly rare from an F2P perspective. However, the gacha in Azur lane does not require gems and their main usage is expansion of facilities like dorm, academy, docks and depot, as well as buying resources, resource packs, premium items (rings and name change), and skins.
As an F2P, you can get up to 4900 guaranteed gems (3750 for 3* clearing all 15 main campaign worlds, 900 for completing Bands collection and 150 for 8 days login campaign), not counting random gems from commissions or occasional bonuses from events or other sources.
Considering limited availability of gems for F2P players, even if spent exclusively on QoL upgrades, it is impossible to upgrade everything.
This is the recommended way to spend gems as an F2P:
- 3rd Dorm slot (300 gems)
- Dorm 2nd floor (500 gems)
- Dock space (remaining gems)
The main purpose of the dorm is for faster morale regen while grinding. Using ships with 0 morale will receive a 50% exp penalty and lose affinity.
The 2nd floor of the dorm will have the same number of slots as the 1st floor. While it lacks passive exp gain, it has faster morale regen. 3 dorm slots with the 2nd floor gives you a total of 6 slots, which is enough for your whole mob fleet.
Dock space is the biggest constraint for players. While this can help casual players collect all their waifus, there is also practical use in collecting ships - for later levelling to get their fleet tech on reaching lvl 120. These are important for players as they provide crucial additional stats that help players to tackle the hardest content (W14/15, H.Arbiters, CM).
Alternatively, players may consider getting the 3rd Academy slot for faster skill training or more dorm slots instead of just dock space (not recommended).
While players may opt to buy skins/rings with the F2P gems, this will come at the cost of QoL. It is recommended to only buy those with real money 💳.

You have 600 so you may as well go for Moskva
Worst case scenario, you'd have to guarentee pity which you have more than enough cubes for
And just because you dont have Nahkimov now doesnt mean you should just ignore Moskva then have to wait 2 years for her to rerun while you get Nahkimov to D30

You can already afford every new UR banner unless you hit pity 5 times in a row or waste your cubes on a non-UR banner

so it's just a fairly new guild, the guild tech should catch up if everyone sticks around
you can buy it now but it'll cost more or just wait for your guild's tech levels to go up

all the ships you mentioned have aged but FdG and Anchorage are still fairly decent to use more importantly just having ships to spend your free/discounted prints daily
after you've finished Anchorage see if you can work on Plymouth, still relevant nowadays
and just got coin enhancing on CNY

I see ; so its better to focus on higher PR than lower ones then ?

considering most older series can be coined and most of their gear can be attained through various other methods that isn't Researching, ya
whole crypt
ideally for the research project focus you should focus on the newest series
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/research-focus
for ships though you might want to check in whenever you're about to start your next because what's best to work on may change by the time you get there
older ships can be enhanced with coins, but if you've spent some decent time in doing research for PR7 or 8 a newer ship you can complete is also fair game
