[elfin hollow]

it needs several prompts and feedback from you guys (who are basically veterans of Azur Lane) to prompt the AI to rethink for itself and verify and give a better answer

[whole crypt]

if you need to ask something about the game just ask it here

[soft raft]

^

To give you a actual answer, UR and research ships (and iirc META ships as well) are not affected by the lvl caps per LB

IE you can have a UR be lvl 100+ while they're still 0LB

[viscid swift]

as if it needs to be said, Ai can and will just make stuff up

[whole crypt]

or otherwise hallucination

part of the problem is there isn't a lot of materials out there that AI can scrape for AL, and of what's actually out there a lot of it isn't up to date, accurate or even right to start with

[elfin hollow]

I asked AI to make the following corrections:

[whole crypt]

just stop asking AI

[viscid swift]

who cares

[elfin hollow]

How does one get more of these gold nugget type things on the top right hand corner?

[viscid swift]

missions which require you to clear even stages x number of times

[spark patio]

Do we have any mt today?

[soft raft]

No

#game-news would've mentioned it if we were gonna have one

[spark patio]

wth is this event only 2 week long

[soft raft]

"Only"

that's the normal event duration wdym Only

[spark patio]

I thought UR event was 3 weeks long

[stark quiver]

its not always

[ivory pawn]

It's specifically anniversaries that are 3 weeks. Dw it gets me too.

[stark quiver]

also dont we have 1 more week

[soft raft]

May and Sept URs are 3 weeks because it's Exam season in China in May (and also CN Anniv) and JP anniv in Sept

[stark quiver]

im at 2k event points 😭

[whole crypt]

it started because Chinese uni entrance exams

CN and JP anniv used to be 2 week events until CN players asked for an extension because of the exam clash, JP has had some weird 2+ week shit after that but eventually they kind of all settled on 3 weeks

[stark quiver]

gaokao 💀

[sweet delta]

EN Anni better be 3 weeks too or we riot

[whole crypt]

but you guys have no rainbow

[elfin hollow]

is this "Akashi Shop" = "Akashi Recommends" section of the cash shop?

ive never met akashi in the game so far.. hope she is an important character

[viscid swift]

uh what

[stark quiver]

she isnt

[little tree]

~~ she scams you~~

[late flame]

there is a quest to get her in game, but its not really worth the effort unless you want her for collection

[spark patio]

there was a guide for getting Akashi iirc

[stray crane]

guy c1 for ap crate where do i farm for coins ?

c5?

[whole crypt]

have you cleared map

[stray crane]

yeah

[whole crypt]

do you normally burn in C3 or C5

[stray crane]

c3

[whole crypt]

then just run C3

[stray crane]

okay

[elfin hollow]

if i am stuck on 7-4 due to low exp, what is the best way forward? try to get PR or META ships? or just do the grind on ch7 and hope exp can rise..?

[whole crypt]

how high can you go for the event

[wind hazel]

wdym stuck due to low exp lol

[elfin hollow]

i can complete C2 in the springtide event battle

[whole crypt]

keep running and see if you can level till you can manage D1

[onyx flame]

prob cmd lvl

[elfin hollow]

This is my fleets

[whole crypt]

campaign doesn't really offer you anything right now

[viscid swift]

Sigh

[wind hazel]

you're using shit ships without max limit breaks, that's why you're stuck

[whole crypt]

am I looking at 3 0LB URs

[viscid swift]

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

Might wanna read this

[viscid swift]

How much do you want to bet

[onyx flame]

4 prob

[wind hazel]

1LB NJ no cap

[whole crypt]

nevermind I just saw Shinano

[elfin hollow]

yes I am using 3 0 limit break UR. cuz i though UR were the best and I really like new jersey and shinano

[late flame]

10 dollars say none are mlb

[wind hazel]

UR are the best when they are at max limit break

[whole crypt]

anyway... when you say low XP do you mean you can't clear 7-4 or you don't have enough commander level to open 8-1

[viscid swift]

Just read the progression guide

[whole crypt]

either way the only answer is to keep leveling, and the best place to do it now is in the event alongside point grind

[elfin hollow]

i mean my 2 fleets as shown in the picture cannot beat 7-4..

[viscid swift]

Now that's a low

[wind hazel]

that's not low exp

[whole crypt]

use 1 fleet
consolidate your gear and LBs to 1 fleet of ships

and you just have to keep playing to level the ships

[viscid swift]

But an unsurprising one

[elfin hollow]

alright i will focus on somehow, getting my new jersey and shinano to LB them but it will be hard. meanwhile i will LB the rest of them

[whole crypt]

use ships you can actually LB or are already LB'd first

just don't touch the rainbows if you have LB'd purples/golds

[viscid swift]

Or just bench them

[elfin hollow]

i thought i should save up resources to LB my favorite ships only. but it appears this is not correct, and i need to focus on getting to a point where i can grind good resources first

[viscid swift]

.

[ocean terrace]

if a research ship has an option for FS, and I have blueprints for it, am I forced to use them or can I convert

[viscid swift]

The latter

[wind hazel]

i mean if you insist you can just focus on limit breaking NJ. it is worse long term, but don't spread your UR bulin between that many UR ship. focus one by one

[late flame]

the latter*

[elfin hollow]

yes i did read the guide and i believed this was the key. that EXP can be used to overlevel my URs so they can demolish maps easily. turns out thats not the case

[elfin hollow]

yes thanks, i really like NJ and is the reason why i play this game

[wind hazel]

so drop shimakaze, shinano, ulrich

[viscid swift]

Did you not read literally anything else in there....

[late flame]

rainbow doesnt always mean best

[stark quiver]

rainbow means best most of the time

[viscid swift]

Like the part where a 0 limit break UR is worse than a MLB common

[soft raft]

level advantadge doesnt really mean that much when the ship is still missing like 80% of their kit

[ivory pawn]

Right at the very top. Literally first thing.

[whole crypt]

how does 0LB NJ compare to retrofitted Nevada one for one at say lv100

[ivory pawn]

Well, second thing, but the first thing is a link to the newbie tips.

[viscid swift]

Worse I think

[wind hazel]

no idea but im willing to bet 2LB NJ will shit on most mlb non SR BB

[viscid swift]

https://youtu.be/9neFkkE-Wgw?si=c1IaN0l7tH44MeWT

Suchi made a video on it though

[wind hazel]

yup eat shit nevada! 🦅 🌈

[onyx flame]

just barely

[late flame]

smh wasting UR bulins on NJ in 2026

[wind hazel]

i'd rather they do that and love the game than burning out using poop shits and abandon the game

[stark quiver]

meta slave mindset

[whole crypt]

2LB though
that means 0LB is easily worse

[wind hazel]

that's why you mlb your NJ

[whole crypt]

that's why you don't use the rainbows you can't MLB

[viscid swift]

There's a massive difference between being a meta slave and understanding the game

And this is the latter

[wind hazel]

newbie can easily get their NJ to 2LB now

[viscid swift]

But why though

[wind hazel]

because they love NJ

[elfin hollow]

i currently cannot LB NJ right now as i have "no ships matching your filter criteria". I dont have any UR bulin. i have SR bulin and I have to use them to LB my SR ships... darn i really thought i could build a dream team focused on a few URs but looks like I have to wait...

[whole crypt]

there's a huge gap between super casual and meta slave and you can still be closer to the former even if you understand the game

[viscid swift]

I mean I also love Mogador but you don't see me shilling her at every opportunity

[wind hazel]

i am not. refer back to this

[ocean terrace]

it won't take too long, maybe a couple weeks to MLB her, depends how active you are

[viscid swift]

And they can use NJ at a later date even at 0 LB

When they have a half decent fleet together and some progression

[wind hazel]

if you want me to give the gph advice, i'd say save your UR bulin for Soyuz rerun

[elfin hollow]

really i can MLB NJ in a few weeks..? how is that possible? the pity for NJ requires 400 wisdom cubes

[soft raft]

UR Bullin income is way slower than SR/Elite Bullins so yeah no dur
Plus that's just one part

limit breaking URs also costs more coins with final LB alone costing 20,000 coins

[viscid swift]

Like, I'd rather they get a decent spot in the game first before encouraging shall we say experimentation

[ocean terrace]

if they're a new player, they have current event UR bulin, 1 from spec cores, another from the missions new players get

[viscid swift]

UR bullins exist

[ivory pawn]

Because you don't use dupes, you use bulins. You can get up to 5 every 2 months.

[wind hazel]

i dont wanna dictate how another person should play the game, just inform them the pros and cons, let them decide on their own

[soft raft]

Technically you can get up to 8k spec core per month (5k from grinding and 3k from shop) which is enough for 2 UR Bullins (4k spec core per copy)

outside of one-time sources and cruise pass lvl 100 reward, this is the most consistent way of getting them

[frosty shell]

I’ve got two UR bulins, which 2lb should I max?

[viscid swift]

Yeah but I'm not gonna actively encourage a sub optimal choice either

[wind hazel]

i wasnt either....

[ocean terrace]

@soft raft you don't think they could get enough to MLB in a couple weeks?

[viscid swift]

I'd argue you were but whatever

[whole crypt]

just on the topic please stop spreading out your UR bulins
based on your current roster just finish Hakuhou first

[elfin hollow]

what is "spec core"? im not sure i encountered it?

[soft raft]

After exhausting the one time source and in a month without a UR event? yeah

Also even if there is a UR event on going, it's another issue if they can even grind enough points for the UR Bullin from there

[soft raft]

Specialized core
it looks like a gray rectangle and you get some for every fight you complete

[whole crypt]

2 weeks is a couple of weeks, as is 5 or 9, and a lot can happen in terms of releases for "a couple of weeks"

[viscid swift]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vZslo_Mq3IIAnczYG0BkHHJlJU49zw5aJFZWNXD1ZZQ/edit?usp=drivesdk

[wind hazel]

1 UR bulin from current event, 2 bulin from this month grind, can mlb by 1st week of grinding on April

[ocean terrace]

I meant 2 weeks or so yah

and I was referring to them being able to MLB NJ within that time

[wind hazel]

but 2 weeks is sus, too tight

[frosty shell]

Okay that’s sweet thank you

[soft raft]

yeah no 2 weeks would be impossible even assuming optimal timing

[ocean terrace]

true true, they'd have to grind and play a lot

[whole crypt]

to be very fair, given his current progress he might as well finish LBing NJ if he can get the milestone bulin this event and whenever soyuz rerun happens

[opaque galleon]

It would just be impossible outright

[whole crypt]

but at least it'll be in the ballpark of a month

[ocean terrace]

looks like this in game

[viscid swift]

Anyway, that's the least of their concerns right now

[ocean terrace]

they're used to buy UR bulins from the monthly shop, and other things

[elfin hollow]

i found it thanks!!! it costs 4000 to buy UR bulin

[whole crypt]

the bottom line is it's not helpful for the 1 week he has left to grind the event

[wind hazel]

fixing the fleet is more important lol

[ocean terrace]

I had 6 UR bulins in my first 2 weeks

[wind hazel]

you played at the right time

[ocean terrace]

though there were a lot of factors to that

[whole crypt]

most players won't see 6 UR bulins in their first month

[viscid swift]

First 2 months if anything

[wind hazel]

most dont even see 1 because 90% are casual login 10mins

[opaque galleon]

1 from first time milestone, 1 from spec core shop, 1 from ongoing event, that’s all that are possible immediately iirc

[viscid swift]

Do you really think a brand new account that can't even get last 7-4 is gonna have an easy time getting 30k event points

[opaque galleon]

Lmao no

[viscid swift]

Or even getting 4k specialized cores before the month is half over even

[ocean terrace]

I had the luxury of having extra resources in storage from my account being so old

[late flame]

-# i did but then again i whaled from the start lul

[ocean terrace]

hence why I could grind the event at the time

[viscid swift]

I mean you weren't exactly new then

[opaque galleon]

Get out of here lmao, that doesn’t count

[ocean terrace]

true true, extra oil helped a lot lmao

[opaque galleon]

6 bulins my arse

[viscid swift]

Not even the oil

[ocean terrace]

I mean it was still f2p and I was only on Ch3 😭

[viscid swift]

Just having some semblance of progression

[wind hazel]

ch3

90% oil factor fr

[viscid swift]

And that returnee event which handed a lot of stuff out

[ocean terrace]

oh yeaaah true

[wind hazel]

what do you get from returnee, isnt it like free unicorn and techbox some shit

[elfin hollow]

is there anything you recommend buying in the springtide event shop? i think i made mistake spending 8000 lanterns to buy Ganggut META and have no use for her... i have 4200 lanterns.. what should i buy?

[ocean terrace]

oil cubes coins iirc

[viscid swift]

And an additional UR bullin

[ivory pawn]

Ideally the UR gun, but need 10,000 for it.

[wind hazel]

oh so that's why 6 ur bulin was possible

[viscid swift]

So that's how they got 6

[elfin hollow]

ok i save up. it seems there is no UR bulin in the lantern shop

[ivory pawn]

There is not, it's part of the milestones. Just need to earn 30,000 total.

[wind hazel]

@elfin hollow before you do anything just post your dockyard in a thread, let's fix your fleet before we start grinding again or you're just gonna be stuck again

[elfin hollow]

omg... i better grind hard

[opaque galleon]

Though you only have a week from now

[ocean terrace]

also hope you haven't been taking those commissions that use 1200 oil and give 4500 coins

save your oil for the event grinding

[elfin hollow]

you mean screenshots of my entire fleet? anyway you want it sorted by particular?

[wind hazel]

separate main fleet and vanguard if possible, doesnt matter too much, unlikely you have 500+ ships

bet it's just 3 screenshots (what could go wrong)

[elfin hollow]

bluebay DOCK

[blissful hamlet]

How is moska compared to hindenburg

[icy robin]

Is this gun good (dumb question)

[ivory pawn]

Yes.

[ivory pawn]

Lower DPS (except vs Med maybe), but tankier, has a slow, and buffs AA range.

[ocean terrace]

it's DR5 and PR6 that can be coined now right?

hmmm I'd like to know my research ship priority now then

doing FdG atm but I'll unlock her within the next week or 2

I've done Roon and Anchorage (both dev30)

[ivory pawn]

Plymouth would be ideal if possible.

Could also do Aegir, or any PR you’re able to do.

[ocean terrace]

I think I have plenty of tanks though atm

though I need a considerable amount of HMS tech points for Ply

[ivory pawn]

Plymouth ain’t a tank. Do, idk, Monarch then.

[ocean terrace]

yeah I meant Agir

yeah I think Monarch into Ply would be good

AvP doesn't really provide much for me right? she's just a decent CV?

[ivory pawn]

She’s the best budget freeze, also a good choice.

[onyx flame]

Shes a stop but she need fs5 which takes a while

[ocean terrace]

what about Shimanto

[rapid summit]

What’s the next major event? (One with 2 UR’s)

[onyx flame]

Shes good too for the later campaign chp

[ocean terrace]

so she's just a campaign ship

[onyx flame]

I mean shes mainly AA focus so yea

[ocean terrace]

think I'll try up my HMS points for now and aim for Ply then

[ivory pawn]

Maybe May/June ish.

[onyx flame]

they ask what

[ocean terrace]

could someone send the lars db for ships

[ivory pawn]

Oh, well that’s their fault for asking an impossible to answer question.

my ship level is around 70-99 and yet i keep failing level 60 tacitical training aviation... why is that?

is the daily raids and exercises even worth doing as a new player?

[sweet delta]

Have you read the game tip on the screen where you choose your ships for that?

[dire arch]

Hey i am getting closer to Lvl 60. I need some recommendations for Op Siren.

[whole crypt]

maybe start a thread with your dock when you hit 60

[tulip tinsel]

Free loot why skip it

[elfin hollow]

seems need a CVL or aviation focused team as i always get timed out

[tulip tinsel]

Aviation CV , shelling BB

[stark quiver]

whats bbv

[whole crypt]

shells get bonus on shelling, planes get bonus on aviation

[quiet timber]

how long would it take to get auto combat as a new player? is it only a few short levels?

[sweet delta]

at or after 1-3 so only 3 maps

[dire arch]

Where to get Mainz?

[late flame]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Shipyard#tabber-Mainz

[sweet delta]

I would like you to convey to Yostar staff to either hurry up and allow Yostar Account (yellow screen) to be used for login/bind OR remove it from Azur Lane entirely. All it's done for the past 1 year and 3 months is bait players, confuse players, and hide the working Yostar email bind (black button) and social media binds. So #tech-support is full of Yostar account already bound to another game account errors #game-news message

[elfin hollow]

Is research needed as a new player? I keep seeing a red uncleared button on bottom but cannot clear it

[sweet delta]

set research focus to 8

you can queue projects, up to 6, and that should always be running. Just choose the Q, D, G, scrap gear E, or C/T as last resort if you can't afford anything

[elfin hollow]

You mean pr/dr 8?

[inner delta]

huh, wdym. Isn't working as normal? as it used to? it just bind it to your email to give a key when you tried to login

im not understanding your question here

[elfin hollow]

can anyone confirm whether the current springtide event is a UR event and contains 1 UR Bulin as a certain milestone?

[inner delta]

i already told staff about it

[elfin hollow]

sorry i still cannot find where this is, is it in the cash shop milestone?

[tulip tinsel]

You click the event button and the milestone there

One of the 3 event buttons that's not the map

[muted wind]

there are 2 event buttons in the top right of the main menu, click the left one, then go the milestone/supply station tab

[whole crypt]

yes it's there, it's in every UR event, 15000 if it's a rerun

[elfin hollow]

lots of thanks!

if you dislike a particular UR you pulled (for example moskva). is it recommended to retire that ship so you generate a UR bulin and use it to LB one of the ships you like, like the NJ?

[muted wind]

you only get 400 specialized cores for doing that and it counts towards the monthly 5k limit, so you can gain quite literally nothing from that. no.

[elfin hollow]

omg good thing i asked, so retiring a UR ship only grants you specialized cores, instead of granting you a UR bulin outright?

[muted wind]

-# *i think it was 400, if that was wrong, the rest of my statement still stands

[muted wind]

yeah, absolutely not worth it

[eternal basalt]

Mosvka: Coin 18 Specialized Core 500 Medal of Honor 30

[whole crypt]

*0 specialized core because you cap anyway

[muted wind]

oh so i did get it wrong. close enough. still net 0 yeah.

[whole crypt]

assuming you don't hit the cap... I'd still just use a dupe for LB first

you're giving up a bulin later for 1/8 of a bulin now

[scarlet cosmos]

any tips on how to 3 star 16-3? i 100% it, but am having trouble clearing all mobs bc out of ammo

[whole crypt]

have you tried repeating it to get it to safe first

[scarlet cosmos]

yes

i am also running two mob fleets now

[whole crypt]

start a thread and post what you're using now

[scarlet cosmos]

[twin bronze]

Is there any advantage of having tuning adapts more than 203/203/156? Wiki mentions max health reduction is capped at that value but I've seen some folks have over 500 tuning

[late flame]

its just flexing past that point

[onyx flame]

most people have that high off an adapts is mostly from c1 farming

[elfin hollow]

One if my ur ships reached 100. What should I do now? Should I limit break the ur as it stops gaining exp at level 100? Do I still need to put it in dorm?

[eternal basalt]

They still gain xp in combat. But you want them 120/125 anyway so you might aswell uncap her

[elfin hollow]

It says you use cognitive chips. Are these chips the hottest thing? Like very scarce?

[onyx flame]

they aren super scarce but you use them quite quickly

[eternal basalt]

For vets, yeah, they are superscarce

[elfin hollow]

I see… if a UR ship hit 100 and is not improved using cog chips. Does the exp the ship earns go anywhere? Is it related to that proficiency classroom?

[eternal basalt]

It is hold on her (up to 3 million)... and all ship s level 100+ gain profficiency for the classroom

[elfin hollow]

And the classroom makes exp books? Right? My class rooms it is making 933exp, what or how do I extract it?

[eternal basalt]

It's all automatic now

[onyx flame]

you still gotta collect the book like the same for gold and oil but thats bout it

[flat oak]

Btw, regarding bonus stuff we get from commissions, do u farm it by doing 1 hour commissions only?

[next lotus]

I think it's regardless since the bonus scales with the hour of the commission so 8 1 hour commission has same bonus as 1 8 hour commission

[onyx flame]

if you mean the ticket stuff, its based off the length of the comms, so its more important to make sure they are constantly running

[flat oak]

Hmm ic

[sly ibex]

There's undergoing maintenance?

[wind hazel]

no

[eternal basalt]

CNY Part 1 ended for real now though

[onyx flame]

do ships not get exp from dorm if they arent uncapped

[viscid swift]

nope

[onyx flame]

damn thats like 2 or 3 weeks of dorm food wasted

[whole crypt]

don't worry I waste dorm food on a daily basis

[soft raft]

You guys use dorm food?

[whole crypt]

well you have to at least put 1 food item in for daily, granted it's not an important daily

sometimes I just chuck random ships in there so I have space for food

[woeful sluice]

Can somebody please help me building Opsi fleets?

[forest palm]

make a thread, post dock in thread, and someone will help

[woeful sluice]

Opsi

[vocal sigil]

in lion/zwei/alsace backline is alsace the one that gets replaced by mecklenburg?

[wind hazel]

ye

i think alsace is still viable vs Light

but i cant provide the maths, im talking out of my ass

[whole crypt]

not like it matters for up to harb

[forest palm]

even Harb tends to not matter when you're talking about the high end

only matters in Meta or CMs

[whole crypt]

unfortunately those are affected more by gimmick and timing that the raw power of the ships

[sick kettle]

whats the guild tech priority after the max dock space upgrades

[whole crypt]

anything really, even dock space is just a slight gem saving

[honest laurel]

um , is the combat data for Pr1 and 2 safe to be analyze into Prototype core ? are there any shipgirls on series 1 and 2 that's worth building ?

[whole crypt]

combat data packs for every series is safe to analyze, we dont' recommend using them to accelerate research at all

[honest laurel]

Can i ask why is it not reccomend ? it there to speed up the grind

[whole crypt]

because you end up with a ship that's useless anyway without the prints

you can finish the XP grind for a ship in 3 days, it takes months for the prints to hit dev30

[honest laurel]

so its better to take the grind as a side gig while you work on their required blueprint for dev 30 then ?

[atomic abyss]

yes

[whole crypt]

like the one time I'd say it's maybe okay is if you're super casual and just want to unlock the ship for collection

but that's about where it stops

[honest laurel]

that was my goal for like 3 years of playing , finally getting serious just start of this year

[whole crypt]

then you should definitely analyze all your CDPs

there's no real rush for it, we get 5 new ships a year so as long as you're finishing more than 5 a year you're not falling behind

older ships are also fair game to just leave for later since they're mostly irrelevant

[honest laurel]

not all of them right , retiring perseus or uni might be detrimental cause they are literally carrying my entire mob fleet

[whole crypt]

Perseus should be safe to ignore if you have Unicorn

[honest laurel]

so i see....well i'll keep playing and saving cubes for UR then , for the 36k fleet power future, thank you for the valuable info 🫡

[elfin hollow]

About the war archive. Which one I should play first or it doesn't matter

[soft raft]

W12 is alot easier than you'd think at safe threat level

We have people here who drag 6 low rarity tech fodder ships thru that map with no healer perfectly fine

[soft raft]

The most relevant one is Divergent chessboard for the German ships

The rest are kinda whatever outside of Parallel Superimposition for Hellcat HVAR but that's a pretty niche plane all things considered

[whole crypt]

the usual recommendation is to use Polaris as an oilcap stage outside of events if you're still stuck out of ch9 from commander levels
alternatives are running divergent chessboard for KMS tech

[soft raft]

And I guess Polaris if you haven't gotten to W9 yet

[elfin hollow]

I haven't reach chapter 9 because I got lvl cap. Still have to reach lvl 50

[whole crypt]

there's also shit like running mirror involution for rudder cope or parallel superimposition for rocket cat but those are later goals

but you basically can just ignore archive while there's an event going

[eager mulch]

hvar

[young wolf]

guys do i need to own the ship first to try the rental skin?

[whole crypt]

yes

[hard dock]

should I use PR / DR ALL prints tier 5 or lower for protocore?

like all of the ALL prints

[whole crypt]

do you have Plymouth

4 is probably still okay to spend on Anchorage and Agir

PR prints are less of an issue since you get to pick a ship you finished but DR needs you to have gotten said DR to dev30 anyway before you can analyze the prints, realistically in the time you need to enhance older DRs by coin you probably won't be thinking too much about analyzing them

[hard dock]

I accidently spent 100 Ply catchup prints on Ply

[whole crypt]

what do you mean accidentally, you're recommended to spend all 150 anyway so you have her usable asap

[hard dock]

oh

thanks
Is there a guide for this?

[hard dock]

I had her 25-ish so probably saved like 10 days of coining

[whole crypt]

usually you do like 10 prints a day on coins so if you use all 150 it's 15 days

[hard dock]

After getting all the event banner ships do you switch to standard pool for daily

[whole crypt]

yes

[hard dock]

or standard heavy / special for UR

[whole crypt]

just go back to 1 light a day, pulling for perm UR is a waste of cubes

[hard dock]

you don't get perm UR from event UR banner right?

[hard dock]

okay why

[whole crypt]

light build also contributes to perm pity and doesn't cost you 1 more cube
pulling for a perm UR generally isn't useful because you won't be able to afford to LB anyway

[hard dock]

oh true

makes sense thank

should I UR bulin Moskva or Alsace (or UvH )

[knotty jolt]

Alsace imo

[tulip tinsel]

main fleet> vanguard
alsace
uvh is junk even at mlb imo

[whole crypt]

UvH didn't age too well but not exactly junk

do you have enough bulins to finish the LBs, if yes then Alsace is good still

how far is Anchorage from dev30 just use your PR4 catchup on her if you haven't

[hard dock]

any tips on making a fleet with her

[whole crypt]

Agir and Anchorage can handle your tanking before Moskva is ready

[hard dock]

dev25

[whole crypt]

oh then she's pretty ok for tanking already, still finish her though

[hard dock]

I tank with Roon

[whole crypt]

Agir and Anchorage are significantly better

[hard dock]

well, off tank, and roon mu

[whole crypt]

Alsace can fit in most places, fleet building isn't a thing without knowing what content it's for

[hard dock]

oh okay

what about this month's opsi boss?

[whole crypt]

with what you have now BisZwei/Alsace/NJ should take care of most arbiters fine, just change to the right gun for the armour

[hard dock]

are the PR 6 guns worth getting when I already have 3 PR 3 guns?

[hard dock]

should I use T3 reports on Ply gun?

or the BB gun

[lyric stump]

do we know whos the next meta fight? and whose returning as perma?

thx

[woven star]

Any guide for 14-4 Hard? Especially for boss

[onyx flame]

regensburg is the next one
next dossier should be nagato

[mossy sierra]

i'm having trouble passing 8-3 because i need to make it to 8-4 and defeat it to continue the akashi questline

[tulip tinsel]

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

[onyx flame]

the 457? you really only ever need 1 and you can get said one from protocore shop
also https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab/

[hard dock]

Ty! so Ply gun

[onyx flame]

eh kinda depends since tenrai also needs em unless you alr got like 2 tenrai, thou tenrai also arent used as much anymore

[hard dock]

oh I have 27 ply gun prints though might trade prints
alr got 2 tenrai and a skyraider

[onyx flame]

plygun it is for your ordnance then

[whole crypt]

progression guide aside consider not bothering with the quest line for now because Akashi does nothing for your fleet

[hard dock]

what about the 27 prints though

[mossy sierra]

i guess akashi isnt worth getting

[whole crypt]

it's not significant but she unironically dilutes your build pool once you unlock her

[mossy sierra]

what does akashi do

[hard dock]

[whole crypt]

in the current game basically nothing

[onyx flame]

i mean you could buy 23 prints from the protocore shop

[whole crypt]

regardless of that though, check guide and ask again if you still have problems with clearing the stage, there can be quite a number of factors contributing to that

[mossy sierra]

i'll just keep leveling up my shipgirls and make more fleets

[whole crypt]

you should use 1 fleet where you consolidate your resources
multiple half-assed fleets won't do better

[mossy sierra]

but i always use auto combat and is that better or should i go for manual combat

[whole crypt]

we are auto by default here

the thing is if you try to use 2 fleets you're limit breaking and equipping 12 ships

[hard dock]

is it worth it

[whole crypt]

there's a very good chance you're not affording that and spreading stuff halfway around

[mossy sierra]

i use one fleet to defeat enemies and the 2nd fleet for the boss

[whole crypt]

you can use 1 fleet for mobs and the same fleet for boss

[mossy sierra]

but the HP goes down quite fast

[onyx flame]

dont you got the protocore spending guide just gotta work down the section

[whole crypt]

because your gear and LB is being spread thin between your 2 fleets instead of building 1 solidly

[mossy sierra]

maybe i'll enhance the gear

[hard dock]

carrier based la 9

[whole crypt]

start a thread and post what you're using now, there's a fair chance you're also using bad gear besides it just being unenhanced

[hard dock]

wait the bb gun and ply gun are same tier

[mossy sierra]

okay, but i can figure it out myself

[onyx flame]

just pick which you need first for the tier, if your planning on tackling chp 13+ soon 457 would be better
and you can skip the tenrai since you alr got 2

[whole crypt]

sure, just keep in mind you can always ask here if it doesn't work out
gearing can get fairly complicated though not particularly at that stage

[mossy sierra]

i will always ask if i ever run into problems such as event battles and genral
plus when i first played this game i used the bulins thinking that they are stronger but i was wrong they are used for limit breaking

[whole crypt]

there just happens to be a lot of common mistakes with gear but if you read through the guides a bit then it shouldn't really be an issue

[mossy sierra]

maybe i will look at the guides

[whole crypt]

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

[hollow plank]

Thanks! To confirm, i don't need ay UR for my normal ship fleet?
also between what you mentioned whihc would be the mob and hwich is the boss fleeeT? thanks!

[nocturne glade]

Mob fleet is the one with unicorn and cowpens

[tulip tinsel]

Unicorn is always in mob

[umbral briar]

ask, why I-404 using G7E not bidder?

[sweet delta]

Because in game loadouts recommended by other players are ass

G7e are indeed better than bidders for I-404, but that's with snorkel hull and not oxytorp

[umbral briar]

can i have better loadouts

[sweet delta]

@umbral briar

[umbral briar]

thanks

[woven star]

Dam. This game keeps trolling me for awhile. Seems 14-4H boss no need bb as flag. Just pure dmg and survivability for back lines. Finally 100%

[low bough]

what does the damage modifier do on 10+ stuff?

[woven star]

More dmg. Smthing +18% at 13. Lower 10 - dmg and cdr

[odd elm]

anyone know what the 25gb update included

it just made me install 25gb when launching the game

[low bough]

https://tenor.com/view/kaden-bear-walk-gif-7458441216561741282

[woven star]

Pls no gifs

[little tree]

~~ the mods will smite you ~~

[ivory pawn]

Did Sandy not count as UR?
As some others have pointed out, Unicorn is pretty much always mob.
You could opt to raise and MLB Guam or Moskva if you wanted and stick them in, but I figured might as well leave your options open since you shouldn’t need them for 13.

[woven star]

URs re always nice. Musashi can save ass a lot for chapters as example. And they have cross-fleet barrage which can save ur farm time

[inland shoal]

No gifs like this in this channel pls thx

[low bough]

Oki doki sorry

[inland shoal]

Even if I personally liked the gif

[odd elm]

was there a 25gb update today or did something jsut break in my files

[woven star]

Seems you didn't play for long time. Island eating space alot

[odd elm]

i play daily though....

but today when i launched it just made me install 25gb of files

[soft raft]

Dunno
Usually that means that an asset redownload happened considering that download size but there hasn't been any news about it

[woeful sluice]

if I have 33 tenrai bp's do i focus PR 2 until I have 50 or do I just leave it?

[sweet delta]

You mean 4 and focusing 4 is a terrible idea

[woeful sluice]

I thought they dropped from 2 lol

so just leave it even tho I am really close on getting it done

[sweet delta]

I'd rather have 17 more Meck gun or la9 bps than an extra tenrai

[woeful sluice]

fair enough. Btw I'm currently focusing PR7 to finish Nakhimov, do I change it to PR8 to get the Meck gun faster or wait till I'm finished with Nak?

[north gorge]

Nak has catch-up bps now right?

[tribal vine]

does this pity counter go to UR exchange when the event ends?

i just got moskva finally and im 199/200 for the pity soo idk what to do

[hollow gust]

just get another

[tribal vine]

im soo dry on cubes, isnt a collab coming?

[hollow gust]

you are 1 away from pity, just spend the 2 cubes

[tribal vine]

what would the dupe be used for?

[hollow gust]

limitbreaking your moskva??

[tribal vine]

ok

[soft raft]

No
UR Event pity is completely separate from Perma UR pity and each UR event is its own pity counter so it won't transfer to the next UR banner

[tribal vine]

got it tyy

[vale spindle]

No its separate

pulls on a banner with rateup limited time UR do not count for the ur permanent exchange points

[rapid summit]

Is it worth using UR bulins for Moskva or use for Yorktown II instead?

[knotty jolt]

depends, how many bulins do you have/can get atm? What other URs do you have? etc etc

Best to just post a screenshot of your URs and how many bulins you got

[worn aspen]

Does anyone know what the next event is likely to be?

[rapid summit]

I have 3k protocore and have yet to max out the cruise missions so I can get 2 bulins if I do that

[knotty jolt]

Imo I'd say hakuhou would be a better option to max then moskva or york2

Others here might have better insight on this

[rapid summit]

Hmm they might ig I’ll just wait for now

[late flame]

#gameplay-help message

[rapid summit]

Alr ty

[fleet marten]

How do you get the other Currency that isn't the Old Coins in the Event?

[soft raft]

The only things we know are the following:

• New URs Feb/May/Sept/Dec (And no we don't know anything further than that besides that the Sept one has been a Japanese event ever since basically from the first UR ever)
• Soyuz Rerun has been announced, no confirmed date yet

[soft raft]

Do the "Clear event stages [X amount of] times" missions

[dire arch]

Hey guys is it good to retrofit Unicorn?

[whole crypt]

Unicorn is the top retrofit priority

[rotund crater]

yes, from what i've seen, she's one of the best healers in the game with her retrofit

[vivid bay]

what's a good stopping point for current event farming stage?

[whole crypt]

55k

[dire arch]

Thks 4 the help

[rain timber]

Is there any way to get more than 2x375 sync points daily for the Yorktown META Showdown? Or is this supposed to just be the daily cap?

[ivory pawn]

Can get up to 3x75 by doing other people's in addition.

Though you need to be able to do at least about 1.1 million damage without the support barrage to get the max amount.

[rain timber]

Yeah I'm at like ~300k damage (with the support barrage), but I didn't know that helping others also gave me sync points
I don't think I can get all her crystals though qwq
Is it possible to get like "generic" crystals or something for limited META ships after their showdown thing?

[soft raft]

no

you'd have to wait for them to be added to dossier in like roughly a year

[rain timber]

Sooo I'll just have a 2LB Yorktown META 🫠

[stark quiver]

yeah

[soft raft]

Not like you'd likely be using her anyways

[rain timber]

Thanks for the info!

[knotty jolt]

At least metas can 120 without requiring limit breaks

[stark quiver]

if it makes you feel better, i have a 1lb yk meta for the next year or two

[soft raft]

And mine's 0LB because I got lazy

[stark quiver]

grinding in this game is so bad

[rain timber]

If we could "auto-repeat META-battle" it would be better for this in particular

[stark quiver]

yeah

like make it take more oil or something, i really dont mind

[rain timber]

-# sssshhhhhhhh don't give them ideas

[dense arch]

hi guys just asking if changing gold gear from purple really matters?

I am about to sortie 10-4 but my gears are major purple gears and I have difficulties in clearing the map.

Currently my gear are around +6~+8 and I was wondering should I wait for gold gear, or upgrade all the purple gear I have

[hollow gust]

Good purple gear is infinitely better then garbage gold gear

Also you are still in w10, pure level diff and decent fleet comp stomps the shit out of it

[whole crypt]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/
good gear is good
bad gear is bad
rarity colours are a bad indicator

[dense arch]

Ah I got it, so I should focus on leveling up my ship and use level advantage to pass it then

And thanks for the link

[wind hazel]

it's more than that, use the correct gear. you need fire extinguisher and good auxiliary gun for your BB

[hard dock]

Hi chat

How do I gear Enty/YorkII/Imply with 2 Tenrais, 1 Skyraider and La-9

[wind hazel]

vs medium?

[hard dock]

I guess

[wind hazel]

tenrai on york enty, la9 on enterprise, have fun syncing

[hard dock]

okay ty,
what about light? Swap a skyraider for tenrai?

[wind hazel]

yeah on york2

[hard dock]

[wind hazel]

actually im not too sure on this one, maybe better on enterprise

syncing also becomes easier iirc

[hard dock]

What order should they sync? York -> Imply -> Enty with cd cut?

[glass aurora]

I finally got my first level 125 ship. How does leveling work with one in the team? Am I wasting XP or does the extra get split between the others?

[hollow gust]

imply?

[wind hazel]

idk, imp goes 2nd is good

[hollow gust]

how do you squeeze any ship in the middle of those 2?

[wind hazel]

no extra, they accumulate additional 3m and then they become wasted exp. sometimes even that 3m is wasted, depending on ship

[glass aurora]

the ship is unicorn

[wind hazel]

just swap her out

[hard dock]

Uni heal

[wind hazel]

any lv125 ship=swap out

[hard dock]

how do the not wasted ones work?

[wind hazel]

they retain the 3m and you cope for lv130 release and instant boost their level after awakening

but as of now the 3m is useless all the same

[blazing maple]

question, how can I understand armor mod?
I don't know what it means

[wide needle]

Hello Im a returning Player any Ships Tier list so I know whom to invest

[whole crypt]

every unit, including your own ships and enemy ones have an armour type between light, medium and heavy
different ammo types on different weapons will have different effectiveness on the armour types

[soft raft]

There are three different armor types and each gun has damage modifiers against each armor type

If you see something that's like 100-95-150, that's the damage mods, and you read it from left to right: Light-Medium-Heavy

[whole crypt]

the gist of it is for main fleet guns HE is better against light and AP is better against medium and heavy

[hard dock]

does old mail get deleted

[whole crypt]

off the top of my head your new mail gets blocked

really just delete old mail there's no point keeping them

if there's something you want to keep for whatever reason move it to archive

[blazing maple]

No no, that I know. I mean the armour mod stat on the stat sheet

[whole crypt]

like urban said, it indicates the percentage effectiveness on the respective armour types

[blazing maple]

Oh I see

[whole crypt]

so in his example of 100-95-150 the weapon will do 100% damage on light, 95% on medium and 150% on heavy

[blazing maple]

alright then thanks ya'll

[safe nexus]

is this only for DD ships? and does OpSi mob ships has lots of IJN ships?

[sweet delta]

It's for all ships but only useful for DDs because they would be using 500 HP auxes anyways

Southeast quarter of Atlantic Ocean has more IJN ships, this item is basically useless in opsi because it's operation siren, not operation Sakura

[safe nexus]

i see thx

[safe nexus]

gun focused as in no torpedo gear?

how to find gun focused DD

[viscid swift]

Gun focused means the majority of their damage is FP based

[sweet delta]

The only gun focused DDs I use that on are 0LB cassin, z20, or downes

Because you don't want to use it in serious campaign and you prefer 500+ HP for bossing, so only farming is left

[cobalt gate]

Does z20 work for en server or just go with Cassini

[wind hazel]

huh

[whole crypt]

Z20 can work if there's no significant vanguard death risk

but it's not going to be significantly better than Cassin or Downes

[elfin hollow]

how does one actually see how much progress you made for the commander exp bar?

[rain vine]

tap the top left on the main page

[elfin hollow]

i can see a level for commander, but how about the progress bar?

[whole crypt]

go into your profile screen

[dusty gulch]

I have 12 ordnance testing reports. I have 1 plymouth gun and 1 tenrai. No Drake/spearfish/Georgia gun. Should i make another tenrai/ply gun?

[whole crypt]

are those 2 from the proto shop prints

you can get your first 457 from proto shop as well

while Tenrai is still the best generic DB for most part you will see decreasing use of it where it matters

the first Plymouth gun is also most significant on Plymouth herself, the rest kind of depends on what CLs you're using and extra FP on your BBs

[dusty gulch]

I have Mek/Raf/2NJ guns not sure if georgia gun's still worth. i guess i can buy prints at some point.

but right now i only have 1 ply gun and 1 mars gun and trying to run 3 CLs.

[whole crypt]

457 is the best lategame mobbing gun but you kind of only need 1, which you can buy from proto shop

[dusty gulch]

yeah i guess, but other things seem more important for me than another BB gun.

[whole crypt]

which 3 CLs are you using

[dusty gulch]

i bet they add a new CL gun soon. Shimanto/ply/SanD in W15.

[rain vine]

san diego wants a dd gun

[dusty gulch]

hmm true

[whole crypt]

you could craft 1 more plymouth gun for shimanto, or if the proto shop prints are still there you already have 2 guns total

the difference is just the biggest with Plymouth because she has 3 mounts

if you mean this gun that's guichen gun

and it's pretty much fine to use still, if I remember correctly it's the best gold CL gun just that it's limited

[dusty gulch]

yeah i just have 1 of those. is this one bis on SanDiego?

[whole crypt]

I don't actually have the numbers on hand whether that or either of the rainbow guns will be better, but it's good enough

[fleet marten]

Is her barrage still bugged?

[whole crypt]

I've never heard it being fixed, ask the testers and miners

just to be clear she's still plenty potent even with said "bug"

but if fixed she'll likely prefer the fast guns much more

[dusty gulch]

Not sure. Didn't seem to make a big difference between those 2 guns. above.

in terms of total damage.

[hollow gust]

There is a fat difference between Sandy using that gun and the rainbow ones

[bright lion]

How does one get all stars in operation siren?

I ask mainly because I don't know what the siren devices or secrets are about

[dusty gulch]

rainbow DD guns?

[rain vine]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/List_of_Operation_Siren_Zones
it takes a long time because there are a lot of missions that are random events after defeating promoted pawns, which only spawn on explorable zones

[whole crypt]

sandy has fairly good gun damage and as it stands with the barrage "bug" the 113 doesn't spam it enough compared to just doing raw gun damage

if I remember correctly even rainbow twin 100 is fast enough to have that bug though

[bright lion]

Aight, thx bro

[whole crypt]

siren devices means you need to interact with those tower things on the map

fleets won't do that on auto

[bright lion]

The ones with roman numbers?

Or the ones that need the purple battery like thing?

[whole crypt]

yes those

you don't actually have to spend anything, the game just checks when you walk onto one and you can pick to do nothing with it

data logging towers you can just smash them for loot
scanning device you can choose whatever you prefer

[bright lion]

And are the siren fortresses worth clearing?

[whole crypt]

strongholds are your largest source of tokens

unless you mean the abyssals, which are a major source of tokens, gold plates and lab materials

for most part if it has a special icon or overlay on the world map, clear it

you waste less clearing everything than picking the wrong things to skip

[bright lion]

And how to get the files stuff? They stopped appearing in the restart shop a while ago

[whole crypt]

classified loggers don't restock

[bright lion]

Sad

Anyway, thanks bro

[hidden pasture]

I finished rtf portland and unicorn, should i rtf saratoga or helena next?

Or z23🤠❓

[elfin hollow]

Should I used this?

[strong tartan]

only really use it if you're low on time

you can use it but not only does it drain oil fast it drains morale just as fast

[elfin hollow]

ohhh. So only at the end of the event?

[strong tartan]

only if you forget the event was going on and just logged in on the last few days of the event

[elfin hollow]

ook

[rotund narwhal]

is moskva good for the weak players

[onyx flame]

really only use heclp if your super short on time since it also consumes double the morale

[strong tartan]

if weak means not enough rainbow bulins to get her to mlb then no she won't be as much use for you until then

[drifting patio]

Yes

[rotund narwhal]

what about after mlb

[onyx flame]

if you dont have a lot of ur in general esp ur bbs, i would highly consider saving the bulins for soyuz instead since she's rerunning soon ™

[fleet marten]

This Current Event lasts for 2 weeks right?

[glossy iron]

Is making a club more worth it than looking for a club and praying they check?

[untold sierra]

I just realized I misspelled some things; my reason for starting this game was character design, etc.

[late flame]

If you mean guild i'd suggest trying to join one first before deciding if you want to create a guild.. #1246721562741178410

[glossy iron]

this is lowkey just for the beginner quest but ill try and see if i can get into one thanks

[spark moth]

do I prioritize Moskva or Shinano's limit break?

[late flame]

..depends on what URs do you have, and how many UR bulins you can muster.

[mossy stratus]

how long does it take for a skin to get a rerun

[onyx flame]

depends but you can definitly expect it to get rerun with their event after 2 years typically, or black friday which ever comes first

[fleet marten]

For it to go Black Friday, it ranges from A few Months to a year right? I do remember that Last Black Friday their limit of rerun Skins are Pre Lion Event?

[rain bobcat]

its always everysingle event before CN anniversary event inclusive

if skin release date <= cn anni of same year then it will rerun

[iron berry]

Are research ships from 8 much better than 7 or is it more an utility thing? When can we say there starts to be powercreep between research seasons? I was wondering because I love Nakhimov and have been concentrating on research 7 ignoring 8 all that time

[rain bobcat]

personal preference

because of moskva it is now completely personal preference

[iron berry]

Nice

[hidden pasture]

Should i awaken unicorn and portland

[supple verge]

can someone explain how to chapter 15 boss debuff works?

[inner delta]

To 120 or 125

[hidden pasture]

120

[inner delta]

Yea go to 120

[hidden pasture]

Okey

[rain bobcat]

baasically a no ammo debuff

its like 40% though instead of 50%

[whole crypt]

it's a bit more than that

[rain bobcat]

and it only applies when ur fighting a boss fleet while carrying the debuff

mob fleets dont matter

[supple verge]

so for 15-4 is it possible to fight the first and third boss fight with the main boss fleet and mob fleet against the second?

[rain bobcat]

yes

[whole crypt]

ammo is 50% damage debuff
the boss debuff is 30% more damage taken and 30% less damage dealt

[whole crypt]

if anything it's the "30% more damage taken" part that's the problem

[supple verge]

so alternating is the best way to counter it?

thank you

i was planning to run 15-4 boss with soyuz nakhimov and moskva as the core once shes done

[whole crypt]

there's no particular bonus doing that besides Nakhimov getting freezes on her airstrikes

Nakhimov is better deployed as a support carrier anyway

[supple verge]

so is there a better main fleet configuration?

[whole crypt]

part of it is that you want to stagger main fleet attacks so it's not like Nakhimov's freeze benefits the rest of the fleet

just check the ch15 guide on stig's site I don't remember what I used back then

[scarlet cosmos]

do i use fast torps on yukikaze or is it okay to use long reload ones (533 quint magnetic torp)

[noble pawn]

Do Georgia with UW outdamage heavy than NJ?

[exotic sorrel]

I got an SR ship right while I was trying to 3* 6-4

Is she any good to use? Especially her retrofit?

[tulip tinsel]

No

[fresh crater]

Rekomendasi line up

[elfin hollow]

should I Used everything on grobe?

[noble pawn]

get unicorn

[elfin hollow]

@sweet delta So If I remember. You said buy
5 + 10 this month
20 + 20 next month
0 + 20 next next month.
I buy 5 for series 6 and 10 for series 3. (I might have do it backward)
Now I buy 20 for series 6. Haven't buy 3 since I'm trying to get it more at the end of the month
So the next next month. I should get Series 3 or series 6?

also how do I get more of this ticket

[wary hawk]

Comissions

[elfin hollow]

Oh. I see. Thanks

[fresh crater]

What's that unicorn?

[elfin hollow]

This is unicorn. You can exchange for her in Guild Shop

[elfin hollow]

is it true that you cannot get Bremerton even spending 400 wisdom cubes in heavy construction? is the ship that rare of a pull? if you wanted to pull Bremerton TODAY, what is the best way to do so?

[late flame]

Dream oh ya forgot war archive exists

[onyx flame]

get her from war archive rather trying to pull if you really want her

[elfin hollow]

this implies that Bremerton is currently pullable in heavy construction correct?

[late flame]

save your cubes and coins..she isnt worth

[elfin hollow]

it seems bremerton is not available in war achives?

[onyx flame]

is that ai

[late flame]

smh using ai

[elfin hollow]

my goodness, 60times on war achives! you get 4 chances per day for war achives!

[late flame]

It is still better than wasting cubes to pull

[elfin hollow]

is bremerton going to get a rerun with rate up annually?

[onyx flame]

she's alr in perma there is no more rerun

[elfin hollow]

pulling her is so difficult because it is a pool, and she is a UR in that very pool, so even lower chance... looks like have to farm war achives...

[onyx flame]

at least she's in the war archive which is just timegated and guarantee

[onyx flame]

assuming from your picture that you have 25 prints of series 6 and 30 prints of series 3, get the last 20 prints of series 3
you only need 3 ap guns regardless of the combination

[elfin hollow]

OK thanks

[elfin hollow]

Also I got like 30 print of series 3. Should I used it all on 406mm?

[onyx flame]

yuh the point of buying series 3 is to get champ gun (406/50)

[elfin hollow]

Like. Used all of the BP only for 380 and 406

And final question. Should I get enterprise from Medal shop to replace saratoga? I also have hood but people said I shouldn't used her

[onyx flame]

i would get enty yes

[elfin hollow]

Ok. So only Enty for now?

[late flame]

Enty = Enterprise (cv)

Yeah she is good.

P.s. not to be confused with the other enterprise (br*ish light cruiser)

Hood probably overshadowed by Alabama

[elfin hollow]

Oh. So any one that I can buy from shop can replace Penny?

[onyx flame]

if you got bb medal hull in medal shop get alabama, she's better than hood

[elfin hollow]

Ok thanks

[late flame]

never used either (hood/alabama) so i cant really comment kek

iirc, its alabama's augment that boosted her to be better than hood

[white agate]

so... is it comfirmed moskov can sub in well and effectively powercreep soyutz use?

[onyx flame]

she can free nakh from soyuz, the issue is replacing soyuz without breaking another comp like lionmeckzwei

[late flame]

better partner for russian cat yes. Powercreep? Doubtful

[strange flame]

evevn though i have only around 300 cubes, is it still worth trying to roll for sovetsky?

when she comes around after this event?

[onyx flame]

soyuz? yea shes gonna have rerun ticket too which is like 44 pulls

[strange flame]

my nakhimov is 12 from dev 30

[onyx flame]

soyuz is still a ur bb unless you got better ur bbs instead

[strange flame]

how long is the next UR from soyuz rerun?

[onyx flame]

you can prob expect a new ur in like endish may

[late flame]

aka CN anniversary

[wind hazel]

CL UR dream lives on

[mossy stratus]

am i cooked fellas i have no cubes left, is there a way for me to get cubes or gems?

[wind hazel]

buy them with money

[cobalt robin]

[mossy stratus]

that's the neat part, I don't have money

[whole crypt]

pray

[cobalt robin]

Did you get cubes from the commission event?

[hollow depot]

Guys how do I get this

the one that's not the coin

[late flame]

By doing event

[onyx flame]

event mission from clearing event map

[hollow depot]

o ok

[elfin hollow]

So I have to wait for the shop to refrest to get Enty right?

[elfin hollow]

Also forgot to ask. I have 30 ticket for series 3 now. So. Should I used all that 30 to get the 406?

[wind hazel]

it's random, you may or may not get her by next month

[onyx flame]

you can convert 25 first to make 1 gun, then once you get the next 20 convert the last 25 to get the last gun

or convert it all it doesnt make too much off a diff

[elfin hollow]

Ok thanks

[rapid yoke]

Was mogador released with alsace?

[wary hawk]

ye

[rotund narwhal]

Is yuudachi really not worth retrofitting

[wind hazel]

it's considered a waste of spcore, better spent somewhere else than on her retrofit

to put it in perspective, yuudachi meta is stronger than yuudachi retrofit

[wary hawk]

Worth it for collection

[robust onyx]

Not really worth actually retrofitting as said

[rotund narwhal]

Ahh

[lapis pebble]

what to buy on meta shop?

[exotic sorrel]

You have other better torpedo units anyways

[rotund narwhal]

I mean

[exotic sorrel]

I think units like Jintsuu meta, Noshiro exists ig

[rotund narwhal]

I got laffey 2

[exotic sorrel]

Wait doesn't Yuudachi need some kind of special item for retrofitting just like any other Sr's

[rotund narwhal]

yes it does, and the item is in core shop

It's eau de barbecue

[exotic sorrel]

Ehhhh I bought the ones for Warspite and Sandiego

[robust onyx]

All SR retrofit require an item

[rotund narwhal]

Even the dumbsex

[wind hazel]

yuudachi isnt a torpedo ship is she

[rotund narwhal]

Isn't she DD

[wind hazel]

dd can be gun ship, torpedo ship, or hybrid

[rotund narwhal]

and how can I even tell

[wind hazel]

the skillz

[rotund narwhal]

what is laffey 2

[robust onyx]

She is a hybrid

[wind hazel]

ngl idk

[rotund narwhal]

and what about willy dih

[wind hazel]

x2

[robust onyx]

Referring to Yuudachi retrofit here

[rotund narwhal]

what skills are a giveaway for either type of DDs

[onyx flame]

yuudachi post retro becomes more of a gunboat doesnt she

[robust onyx]

Hybrids usually have skills that like both skills that are Torpedo and gun related

[rotund narwhal]

Ah

[robust onyx]

Yuudachi prior to retrofit was more Torpedo focused

[rotund narwhal]

so willy dih is torp

[woven star]

WdP wants fast torps but I wouldn't call her torp ship

Iirc she has 2 skills scale from fp and 1 from trp

[whole crypt]

technically wouldn't WdP want torps that time correctly with your main fleet

for bossing at least

[onyx flame]

she wants fast if shes mobbing but yea

[rotund narwhal]

I see 2 skills related with torpedos

[woven star]

AoE scales from fp and 2 gun hit barrage from fp too. Otherwise her torp skill barrage scale from trp. Iirc

[rotund narwhal]

What's an AoE

[woven star]

AoA sry last skill i forgot name

[rotund narwhal]

Yeah all out assault

and from what I see laffey 2 is a gun ship

[woven star]

Anyway even fasters torp hard to synch for bbs

[whole crypt]

ideally wouldn't you just use something close to 20s to use with kear/yt2/lx2

[woven star]

True. Yeah need to see whole fleet and cds

[rotund narwhal]

I dont have kearsarge

am I cooked

[whole crypt]

just saying for WDP's ideal boss case

[woven star]

unless manually tryhard

[whole crypt]

and honestly if you're not sure or don't have a good comp you can't go wrong with quad mags

[onyx flame]

as long as your using wdp in a bossing context, you want to sync her torps with your mainline regardless of what comp you use

[rotund narwhal]

what do you mean by syncing

[robust onyx]

She uses her skill when main fleet attacks

[rotund narwhal]

Ah

[onyx flame]

makes it so her torp launchs at the same time as your mainline fires/planes take off so that they can make use of the the buff she gives when launching torps

[rotund narwhal]

so this is possible in manual

[whole crypt]

or you just find a torp that reloads close to but just ahead of your main fleet

[elfin hollow]

what does expanding the dorm space do? when can i expand to floor 2? the space is bigger but still can only field max 6 ships

[rotund narwhal]

Expanding dorm space increases comfort stat

[robust onyx]

Helps with morale

3 spaces plus 2nd floor is the recommendation

[rotund narwhal]

You can only expand to floor 2 if you complete building floor 1 I think

[onyx flame]

you have to expand the dorm space (the one that cost decor coins) 3 times before you unlock the ability to buy the 2nd floor (cost gems) iirc

[wind hazel]

domain expansion

[rotund narwhal]

do cowpens and unicorn go well together

as healer

[mossy stratus]

only 8/20 and 20/20 left I don't think i can get all of them

[whole crypt]

depends on the stage and what ships you bring

[rotund narwhal]

I see 19 more pulls

[rotund narwhal]

Ok

[honest laurel]

Question : how long does it usually takes to grind 400 cubes ? are the rest period between major UR events enough time to get a pity ?

[whole crypt]

the guarantee is 168 a month

you usually hit around 200 each month after adding in commissions

[exotic sorrel]

What's up with this Helena Retrofit "issue" where it's a lot harder to synchronize BB's with her compared to CVs

Can't I just do manual instead

[onyx flame]

if you give her sg radar post retro it mvoes her radar scan forwards by 4 secs

simple solution is just remove the radar if your backline is slower

[rotund narwhal]

4 to 5 months for sure

[mossy stratus]

i really hope i can get her before spending money

[onyx flame]

you got 6 days to get lucky

[late flame]

Its also not advisable (having done so myself) to whale for cubes as it is poor value for money

[onyx flame]

~~i too need to get lucky cause im at 170 and no moskva ~~

[woven star]

Ups. Something gone wrong

[soft raft]

What
It's the other way around 💀

SG Radar moves up her first scan by ~4s which is similar to what the HSFCR/AFCT do on BBs

[exotic sorrel]

Ohh is it?

But what's with some players complaining about the "synchronization" thing in auto?

[woven star]

usually it's about torps

some skills use torps activation like Agir or WdP. you can choose different torps or just lower his upgrades to slow down (smthing like 8-9 instead of 10+)

[wind hazel]

[nocturne glade]

is there any point of raising lusty for w15 supp fleet? It seems like Fritz, Implac and Hwah Jah retro all have more fighters

[wind hazel]

if you have better options, then no

[nocturne glade]

I see, ty!

[exotic sorrel]

Is it worth getting Monarch's augment thing

[late flame]

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

[mossy stratus]

yeah i think ill just give up, my UR collection streak already lost since fritz event

[wind hazel]

just gamba

[exotic sorrel]

Ouhh alright that's good Monarch and SanDiego's are considered really good so imma get them, I think I'll get Monarchs fiest

[frigid relic]

Can someone help me build a team for main story stage, am on stage 10-3. Thank you.

[river junco]

You should be able to just brute force to w12 by leveling your ships and equipping decent gear, based on what you currently have leveled maybe something like
Oumi, Owari, Perseus - Eugen, Hatsuzuki, Unzen

[woven star]

missing Unicorn?

[river junco]

Also if anyone wants to use it, I forked Renhex’s fleet tool and added the new ships
https://twocanoftuna.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

[woven star]

I would Owary, Hakuhou,Perseus (?). Unicorn will be better as third slot

Ruy Lion (if you have augment) and Yukikaze (when you'll get augment too) in some near future when you reach chapter 12 for second fleet

[frigid relic]

Where can I get Unicorn?_?

[woven star]

Guild shop

Who said Kear isn't meta for 14-4H bossbut yeah Mecklenburg better

[wraith pendant]

any good USS Torp bomber for Independence before Wyvern ? Something I could use on someone else if needed ?

[whole crypt]

which part of "guaramtee 168 a month" wasn't clear

[whole crypt]

players who're bad at adjusting their BBs shelling timing, unless it's something about high reload vanguard being too fast for any fucking thing

[rotund narwhal]

Im telling the duration

[whole crypt]

if you're guaranteed 168 each month unless you just dump cubes willy nilly you're guaranteed to get 400 cubes in 3 months

[stoic horizon]

Wyvern isn't USS either but the only USS Torp Bombers are not worth it if I remember

[whole crypt]

the USS TBs are shit in general yeh, just give Independence a wyvern if you can

[wraith pendant]

So it's better to sacrifice the 15% efficiency to slot an overall better torp bomber from another faction ?

don't have that, but I'll just use something else in the meantime, thanks

[whole crypt]

baraccudas

or breguets

[stoic horizon]

Breguets gave Intercept right?

[wraith pendant]

I already have a breguet, would a second one be a waste ?

What about the VIT-2 ? I don't have one and it might (might) be better for my account to diversify, no ?

[stoic horizon]

Not sure on this one
I have 2 Bregs but honestly idk if it's optimal
They are faster than Wyverns per say but idk if there are any use-cases where a Wyvern doesn't already work anyway

[wraith pendant]

I'm in no rush anyway, I'd rather save up for something that is a real upgrade, and I'm far away from crafting my first Wyvern anyway

[stoic horizon]

Mode-Change or Standard?

[wraith pendant]

Mode change

I already have Ju-87 and a Ruysei, so that would be a 3rd acceptable torp bomber for when I'll line up 3 CVs

they all look quite similar to me, so I figure I'd just craft one of each

unless it's completely silly

[north gorge]

Ending up with two of each of the main torp bombers is pretty common later on when you need to care about timing, so getting one of each is prefectly fine

[wraith pendant]

So I should aim to have 2 for each of these, at some point ?

[north gorge]

eventually yes, you don't need to make extras until you have a use for them

[woven star]

this against single target bosses

[stoic horizon]

Note that those are converging so they're better for single-target, Wyvern is best for mobbing (idk about Spearfish)

[wraith pendant]

Yeah I finally understood that differnce, but thanks for the reminder 🙂

well I don't need a new one now, I have Ju-87 and Ryusei, and only Independence and Cowpens to equip

but since I've had good rng for plane crafting mats ... oh well I'll just hold on to them for now, since I don't need a new plane now

[woven star]

looks like you want for mobing. breguets good as ppl said. or cheap baraccudas

[wraith pendant]

I could always craft a second Breguet, I'd have use for 2 in the same fleet

[stoic horizon]

I would buy it from the core shop, cheaper than crafting

[woven star]

you can buy it from shop

[wraith pendant]

and given I won't have enough rainbow mats to craft a wyvern before ... I don't know, 3 months ...

yes I bought the first one for cores, but I'm 25-ish cores shy of the La-9

[woven star]

it's different shop coins...isn't?

[stoic horizon]

Quite sure Breguet is using Hard Mode currency and La-9 is with the analyze stuff

(Breguet purchase)

[wraith pendant]

oh right !

Then comes the next question, since I'm contemplating buying a second type 1 AP shell from this shop

I guess it all comes down to usable now vs usable in 3 weeks when I have FDG and Musashi

[stoic horizon]

Shouldn't be a bad investment

-# I have 5 of each because idk why lol
-# you definitely won't need that many

[wraith pendant]

Montlhy core income should cover both anyways, they aren't that expensive, so I don't have to choose

just checked

[stoic horizon]

Also if we're already in the core shop the Firebrand is also good to pick up because it crafts into the Firecrest which crafts into the Wyvern

It might be cheaper than going via Gear Lab to Firebrand

[wraith pendant]

I already have a firecrest saved up for that 🙂

[undone plover]

With table added only do that if u have spare core data
U dont need the wyvern that fast

[stoic horizon]

True that

[rotund narwhal]

FIREBRAND MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

[whole crypt]

#al-general is that way

also depending on how quickly you start getting momentum in OS you could very possibly get more mileage out of crafting wyvern from a lower plane and saving the cores for other stuff in core shop

[clear harbor]

If I have enough BPs to Dev30 all the PR8 ships and want to get more Meck guns, do I prioritize Q research over D now? Or are BPs still worth collecting for future fate simming or core currency?

[undone plover]

Prio Q
Occasional G
U will still get a lot of pr prints
And save your pr8 selectors from events if u can get them
Will be enough for fate sim
And DR are likely to get coin up before Fate Sim

Basically do gear focus here

[exotic sorrel]

That including other BB's who apparently give themselves too much RLD that they completely miss out on Helena's timing

I got my 4th UR BULIN now I just have to decide who to MLB between Moskva Ulrich and Musas

[elfin hollow]

What to do with two or more copies of meta ships? Like gangut meta

[ivory pawn]

The second copy got turned into a crystal you can use to limit break the original.

[clear harbor]

What are pr8 selectors? The “wildcard” bps?

[undone plover]

Yes

[whole crypt]

with a proper set of triples most rainbow BBs sync fine with SG + AFCT/HPFCR

most relevant ones at this point at least

most UR BBs are slower than this

this is at 18 RLD tech, if that is really an issue then just dial it back to 15 or 12
it's also based on a set of oathed BBs so if you're not oathing them the gap is less too

never mind that folks who have that much tech can also just ignore helena

[woven star]

another one ignoring Helena

[desert tapir]

Just got Moskva. Am I missing something or does her kit seem kinda... week compared to other ultra rare CAs?

[sweet delta]

the 8s barrage is decently strong

but the stats and skill stat buffs just make her a statstick yes, she just tanks and does damage

and enables nakhimov

[desert tapir]

That seems like it would pair really well with her frost Frost Shred really well, but yeah, stat sick. I guess I'm just used to being spolied by the PR ladies.

[sweet delta]

but don't mistake it, this stat stick is meta

[desert tapir]

I wouldn't be surprised. In this game the Weakest UR is still a monster. Do we no if shes main story or Ops Siren yet from the testers( Who are way more number orirented then I am and I have deep respect for)?

[sweet delta]

we predict that she's meta in bossing (opsi, meta, cm) and no slouch in campaign either

[desert tapir]

Best Start Grinding I suppose

[grave cove]

I was looking at the eHP chart. What does (Fate) mean?

[stray crane]

quick question when is the next double gems reset

aug ?

[sweet delta]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Shipyard#Fate_Simulation

[sweet delta]

extrapolating from previous years, Aug

[grave cove]

Ah gotcha ty

[supple verge]

how much harder is chapter 16 vs 15?

[sweet delta]

if you have 100% three star win rate in 15 then you might have 70% in 16. If you have 50% three star win rate in 15 then maybe 1% in 16

non-three star 16 is quite easy

[desert tapir]

[exotic sorrel]

What tier would San Francisco fall in purely PVE?

[woven star]

waifu tier

[woven star]

I would vote for Musy

[exotic sorrel]

Ykw nvm I'll just stick to my Roon and Moskva 💔💔

I'm also kind of considering Algerie since I don't have much CAs

[ocean terrace]

you know ships other than CAs can tank, also you won't need more than 2 fleets for just campaign

[inland shoal]

Definitely don't do Alge though, she's not good

[forest palm]

that list is predicated on late game, which is very small in scope, and you can make most ships work outside of that content

[hard dock]

What's the armor type of D3 sirens and boss

[wind hazel]

d3 boss is heavy

[spark patio]

is Ozornoy strong

[hard dock]

Why is the tier list down since september
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home

[fleet marten]

Ask on their Discord Server, but I believe their moderator on the tierlist had a mishap irl so it was on a "hiatus" for now

[wind hazel]

just average

heard she has a bug too lol

[whole crypt]

they're not relevant anyway

[whole crypt]

even if they stayed updating I can't honestly recommend ectl as a useful resource anymore

[zenith heron]

||I agree to this just because on how late they update their stuff till better alternatives exist, good as a starter to general basis, but once you are experienced enough to know the rest, you need more than just a tierlist, also the tiering is weird ||

[wind hazel]

is that One Piece ending spoiler

[whole crypt]

it's not just about how slow they update, with newbie guide, progression guide and REGAL now on ecgc and stig's side ectl just has 0 relevance at every stage of the game

[cobalt robin]

nah one piece season 1 just ended

[whole crypt]

no single piece of information on ectl should be how you should decide how to choose ships or gear, besides the newbie tips which is basically the same thing as is on ecgc

[forest palm]

ECTL's tiering isn't all that helpful

also it's always annoying to correct people on ECTL's gear rec

the tiering itself was lazy, it generalized by hull type rather than trying to assume by role, and their only real solution was tags which fine on the surface, but useless if you can't compare across hull to get a broader view

[whole crypt]

the problem is they made themselves about "generic" use and stopped being a good reference for OS and ch14+

[forest palm]

I'd say even for a casual player it was more harmful that helpful in the end

[whole crypt]

but then ships are tiered by use in their completed state which basically doesn't happen till at least ch9 or 10

it made no account for accessibility or "viability in specific content"

[forest palm]

that they said they don't tier based on cost, but Portland being high tiered while Eugen was low tier was hilarious

[whole crypt]

Portland is t3 I don't think any newbie is looking there and thinking "this should be good for my ch1-12 tank"

[forest palm]

ya that was also problematic in its own right

[whole crypt]

and good luck raising all the SRs that are packed into the T2+

[forest palm]

same could be said for stuff like Penny, NV, and all the good low rarity that can carry to 12

[whole crypt]

or even obtaining them to start with

so yeh, not only is ectl outdated and otherwise slow to update, it simply is not useful anymore

[forest palm]

past 2020 it wasn't all that useful

[whole crypt]

because OS and basically every rainbow being shoved into T-Ex

[forest palm]

more URs that released compounded more problems

[whole crypt]

gameplay realities changed, shop revamp and progression favouring push to ch12

[forest palm]

kind of funny how they from time to time scoffed at CN Tier list, but it at least did a better job explaining itself

[whole crypt]

CN tier list had a clear goal that it was for endgame, and even distinguished between late campaign and OS

being the middle of nowhere wasn't helpful for any of the recommendations

[honest laurel]

Sorry ; not a question but..just wanting to express my disbelief as i have been religiously following slaimuda tier list ever since started playing serious

[whole crypt]

you're likely not alone on that just don't do it anymore

[forest palm]

most certainly not alone, and why it's better to try and educate yourself, there's plenty of resources in this Disc to do that

[honest laurel]

I'll try to do that that ; CN tier list like this are fine right

[whole crypt]

tls is another joke

https://wiki.biligame.com/blhx/井号碧蓝榜合集

wow....alright imma go translate it
