After Rumey for Best Support Fleet CV, which Goes after? Nakhimov?Lex 2? Essex Retro? (I used Rumey on my Boss Fleet)

[wind hazel]

Assuming all have equal level, affinity, and gear etc., the best support fleet carriers are, in slightly decreasing order of strength: Fritz Rumey, Essex (Retrofit), Hwah Jah (Retrofit), Nakhimov (REQUIRES DEV 30), Lexington II, Indomitable, Implacable, Chen Hai (Retrofit), Illustrious, Illustrious µ, Little Illustrious, Independence (Unique Augment), Langley (Retrofit), Yorktown II

[cobalt robin]

can i keep this for 15-4?

[wind hazel]

you can try

unlikely though on boss

[cobalt robin]

any improvement without dropping my wife boats?

[stark quiver]

you sure your account is strong enough to drag two dead weights?

[wind hazel]

idk who your wife baots are

[stark quiver]

the shit ones id assume

[stark quiver]

yeah, more tech, more +13s, better gears if not already

[cobalt robin]

well im not gonna drop enty, yumia and monty

[stark quiver]

and not running bismarck zwei
lion, or raffaello works

[rapid shard]

Monty is a anchor dragging your boss fleet down right now lol

[stark quiver]

ngl i didnt even see the 2nd image

[cobalt robin]

dont have raffaello

[stark quiver]

then do this

[wind hazel]

got guam?

[cobalt robin]

i have both my tables and 2 uss ur aa at 13

did get some tech the past couple months and didnt have issues clearing 15-3, havent tried 15-4 tho

[stark quiver]

Only two ur aas in total?

[cobalt robin]

i can craft another one

[stark quiver]

💀

[wind hazel]

got guam? got guam? got guam? got guam?
o
t
G
u
a
m
?

[cobalt robin]

yes but 0lb 😔

[stark quiver]

i have guam

[zenith heron]

Thanks, considering you are here amma ask for my help of progress...
Since the release of World 16, I wish to finish 15 as soon as possible...

Because I can clear mobs well with my Current Fleet, even without Hedgehog and using a Depth Charge instead,

but unfortunately I seem to be doubtly not be able to survive the next wave of mobs (Yes I am planning to Defeat All Enemies on lethal, even though it has been possible for years...)

I think my survival is really questionable considering my AA is great with a lot of good ships, probably Survivability it is...

like I lack a Hedgehog, only have 3 UR AA guns, 2 Wyverns and a Spearfish, then... I really have a problem with BB nodes and some times CV Nodes, but the Enemy CV Support Fleet and DD nodes are fine...

Also is it really recommended to deal it with no Clearing Mode? since it removes the Enemy CV Support Fleet

[wind hazel]

your boss vanguard aa is abysmal, i dont see it succeeding

[cobalt robin]

hmmm

[stark quiver]

you scrapped your hedgehog?

[zenith heron]

Been yapping about that for a year yes

[cobalt robin]

i can buy 6 bullins

[zenith heron]

I'll bring up a thread just in case

[wind hazel]

just dont lethal clear it if you have no issue clearing it normally

lethal clear is truly the most useless thing ever, it's really just a personal challenge

[zenith heron]

World 15 Progress

[stark quiver]

come to think of it, i havent logged on in a few days

[cobalt robin]

ill get another rainbow aa and give it a try

could also craft a 4th wyvern

[zenith heron]

||but the gems ||

[wind hazel]

do it on safe

[stark quiver]

if you arent good enough to do it then dont

[zenith heron]

I guess spam it till Safe then, I wonder how many attempts...

[wind hazel]

go double cvl and use two asw aux on unicorn cowpen

🫃🏼 kinda hit on your acv tho i think

but it;s something to consider since you dont have hedgehog

[zenith heron]

Even if Eldridge is there? (I kinda get this considering Eldridge sometimes misses her ASW)

[wind hazel]

yes, even with eldrdige

[hollow depot]

guys is there any good sustainer

my fleet ending at half hp 😭

[zenith heron]

No wonder, how about in my Vanguard Boss Fleet, Should Kurumi-Sandy-Z52 should be enough? orcI should exchange Z52 to Guam for more bulk?

[hollow depot]

like healer

[cobalt robin]

should i switch some boats around for more aa on boss vanguard?

[hollow depot]

cowpens?

already using her 😔

[wind hazel]

yes wanted to say move your monty to mob, maybe put gouden on boss

lv125 everyone

[hollow depot]

maybe it's because I don't know how to build and ship role eh

[cobalt robin]

main or off tank?

[wind hazel]

move kurumi to mob instead

[zenith heron]

So its Laffey 2- Sandy- Z52 on Boss?

[cobalt robin]

my rainbow aas are on sandy and gouden, who gets the 3rd?

[wind hazel]

guam sandy z52

[zenith heron]

Guam as the Tank then?

[hollow depot]

should I change anything

just placing randomly

[rapid shard]

Dont use none MLB ships like sashi and moskva

[hollow depot]

🙁

[wind hazel]

yes, kick off musashi, mosvka, dewey

[hollow depot]

bruv

[zenith heron]

Then on the Mob is just Kurumi Laffey 2 and Eldridge? I can shelf WDP? Since she is probably a bit niche compared to the 3?

[hollow depot]

I don't got anyone to replace them rn tho

[late flame]

tbh i only use wdp when my fleet is all eagle

[wind hazel]

ye sounds good. you can also consider shimanto for more aa if needed

then kurumi will go lul

i would prefer laf2 shimanto eldridge than with kurumi too

[zenith heron]

Fair point really

[stark quiver]

whats good about kurumi

[hollow depot]

😭

she's kurumi

[cobalt robin]

wife

[zenith heron]

Being Undying really, but I guess if Laffey 2 is there, no use, also her AA is somewhat Above average, just not as good as the rest , I might consider this

[late flame]

-# fml still no fujinami

[stark quiver]

another hyped SR shitter

[hollow depot]

btw should I get the Moskva skin

[late flame]

ikr but lucky bag curse

[cobalt robin]

up to you

[hollow depot]

is the animation worth it

[stark quiver]

who knows
cant you rent the skin

[hollow depot]

or is the krasny skin better

[late flame]

Its your gems also it is not gameplay related so

[hollow depot]

only Hindenburg

[cobalt robin]

sadly no

[hollow depot]

man should've remove the skin from the last event from renting

[cobalt robin]

theres a guy here that posts a lot of the interactions, forgor his user tho

[zenith heron]

ayaya with the url on his name

[rapid shard]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1sjtMMQzfVNG_Ntd-wE_h-QmJ5fBzRbH15OAvjZfQBaY/htmlview#gid=1073580327

Skin guide for interactions if you wanna check them

[hollow depot]

peak ty

bruh I can't open it

nvm

no krasny or Moskva skin yet

[soft raft]

iirc Moskva's skin is Dynamic so no L2D interaction there

[late flame]

If you are f2p i'd suggest not spending gems on skins
||unless you are first 2 pay||

[hollow depot]

bru

[hollow depot]

skin is life I play this game for the skin

[stark quiver]

me when i want to buy a skin and admire it as secretary, but gph tells me to get dock space that ill probably never use

[stark quiver]

if you wnna get it then go for it

[late flame]

Its your gems so yeah

[soft raft]

Just dont be surprised when you get hit with [YOUR DOCK IS FULL] every few sorties

[hollow depot]

already happening

[elfin hollow]

How come some maps I get attacked by air via air strikes? How to prevent that?

[hollow depot]

the whole sortie thing get stopped

[stark quiver]

the meta slave advice is to get more dock space so that doesnt happen
But if u want the skin and dont wanna spend money or take two years then go get it

[river junco]

what are the best ships to pair with eldridge in vanguard if I'm using amagi/shinano/hakuhou for anti-heavy opsi? tryna increase vanguard survivability

[hollow depot]

eh I play to enjoy not for meta and clearing anyway

[stark quiver]

get skin then

[elfin hollow]

What does this red bar mean? What does 112/138 mean?

[river junco]

red means the stats aren't enough to give you recon and airspace control for the level

[zenith heron]

Any Tank should do like Guam/Napoli/Gouden/Agir/Anchorage.

Also make sure you have a Kazagumo on that fleet

[elfin hollow]

Thanks then recon is 112/138 what does that mean? And as detection is 47/83? do you know meaning?

[spice phoenix]

was mogador a gun or torp ship? i cant remember

[plain saffron]

if you have enough recon there will be no ambush, ACV will determine your air superiority which affect plane dmg dealt, taken etc

[weary edge]

is soyuz rerun gonna be right after moskva event ends

[plain saffron]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Combat#ACV_Modifiers

[wind hazel]

somewhat an all rounder, with insane survivability

she basically never die in w15 w16 mob

[viscid swift]

honestley more like an average gold CL with Laffey 2 levels of survivability in campaign

[soft raft]

We have no ideal
only Soon™

[weary edge]

my friend thinks it's gonna be right after this event but i feel like that's lowk too evil to put 2 UR events back to back

[wind hazel]

well it did happen before

[late flame]

devs deciding event order with their dart board

[soft raft]

While that has indeed happened before (NJ Rerun right after BisZwei's OG run for example), we likely would've already gotten a announcement of that happening by now

Esp when JP patchnotes would've listed that under the "Future content" section a couple of updates prior

[viscid swift]

I mean yes and no

META showdown is due to change due to change this Thursday and I'd bet there would have to be a maint for it since she wasn't added last patch

and they obviously weren't gonna drop a rerun in the midst of a new UR event

[whole crypt]

considering JP already announced rerun upcoming but did not list it in patchnotes upcoming there's a very good chance it's not next week

showdowns we know because there's a countdown anyway

[weary edge]

i see i see

[hidden pasture]

should i rtf helena or saratoga

[sweet delta]

well show your dock, we have no context

[hidden pasture]

there u go

[sweet delta]

If you have core data for independence, she makes Saratoga obsolete. Independence also needs retrofit

[hidden pasture]

alrighty

i dont have enough for now

[sweet delta]

You can farm carrier retrofit blueprints while saving core data

[hidden pasture]

how many do you get from a hard stage clear?

[ivory pawn]

Depends on the chapter.

-# +32 for 14 I assume.

[hidden pasture]

alrighty

[vestal leaf]

This is approximately what my fleet looks like. I have enough for 2-3 max LB for URs. If I were to pick 2 from the list, which 2 URs would you say I should prioritize? Laffey 2, Yorktown 2, Shimakaze, Shinano, Moskva? For general content use.

[sweet delta]

Soyuz
and ig Yorkii or Moskva but kinda meh

[rain bobcat]

moskva + soyuz

[sweet delta]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRMH0Yyv6vWH1apqWU7t0xV9xax73CELlCIC5g7Lw-pJnKpwDM4UBcTN22oqnfRKKq-3GQ6_0FbhcB8/pub

Soyuz priority is higher than this doc says because you have zero other rainbow BBs

besides warspite

[viscid swift]

I really need to finish that

[vestal leaf]

I see. Is the confirmed Soyuz rerun also applicable for JP server, or is that for English only?

[atomic abyss]

JP, EN and CN are on the same events and pace

save a few hours due to timezone differences

[vestal leaf]

Man Soyuz is that high priority eh? Okok fine I'll save some cubes for her I guess

[ivory pawn]

It's more your first UR BB that has super high prio.

[atomic abyss]

more like for a player lacking mlb URs like yourself
Soyuz would be the most impactful on your dock

[vestal leaf]

Ahh ok I see. Most impactful is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks 🫡

[fickle parcel]

What are the last two quest gold currency for? Everything in my inn is maxed.

[ivory pawn]

Extras?

[fickle parcel]

The gold dumpling you need to upgrade each part of the inn.

There's 2 left, but everything is maxed.

[sweet delta]

there can be 3 left

[fickle parcel]

I see, you just float them?

[next glacier]

does lion better than NJ?

[wind hazel]

yes, the ferrari is better than the toyota corolla

[atomic abyss]

NJ cant even stand on the level below Lion

[next glacier]

lion better?

[whole crypt]

by a lot

[atomic abyss]

best BB in the game

basically

[soft raft]

Ignoring the fact that Lion is the newest UR BB and NJ is the 2nd oldest UR and the 1st ever UR BB, Lion is just way too fucking cracked to even be compared to her

[atomic abyss]

NJ is basically one of the worst UR BBs now

[next glacier]

but i got 17k than lion 16k

lvl are diff 25

[whole crypt]

that's context you didn't give us

a lv125 NJ will do better than a lv100 Lion just by virtue of level advantage

[next glacier]

what if same lvl?

[whole crypt]

assuming same LB

[soft raft]

Assuming they're both equally raised, Lion and it's not even close

[whole crypt]

if same level and LB Lion does maybe 50% more damage

someone check stiggy's table

[next glacier]

Musashi still best bb?

[whole crypt]

Depends™

there are cases Musashi will do better than Lion but raw damage isn't one of them

[soft raft]

Musashi is very strong for campaign mobbing if paired with Unicorn and a secondary healer like Aquila

Outside of that is where it gets more iffy for her the more UR BBs you have

[whole crypt]

not even Unicorn, just a healer that can target her when she's soaking damage

[next glacier]

my formation its Musashi,lion,hakuryu,z52,guam,and traf any command?

[soft raft]

What is this for

[whole crypt]

you're just throwing decent ships together it'll work for anything not actually challenging

[wind hazel]

wtf oathed NJ close 🔥

surely not 50% if unoathed

[onyx flame]

not quite 50%

[wind hazel]

that's a bit exaggerated

[next glacier]

crazy build

[whole crypt]

did Lion not get her last shot, also not counting lionflame

[wind hazel]

idk lol

[sweet delta]

69 hunder power 🔥

[whole crypt]

lionflame alone should already account for the difference, if Lion didn't get to fire or finish her salvo that damage makes more sense

[rain bobcat]

meck gun no oath should make 4salvo

[next glacier]

should i grind for tenrai?

[sweet delta]

grind what

you should buy or gear lab tenrai, absolutely not do research for it

[whole crypt]

look at the damage, thing probably died before Lion got to shoot

[wind hazel]

what

[rain bobcat]

I dont think a META has 450k hp

[wind hazel]

i retried with soyuz lion, both landed 4 salvos in

[whole crypt]

it does if you only have like 30% left

[wind hazel]

it was simulation...

[whole crypt]

[sweet delta]

what were you simulating for the damage to be so low

[wind hazel]

york meta

[sweet delta]

lion buffs nj by 10% while nj buffs lion by idk 2 to 4% btw

[wind hazel]

i aint gonna do it 1 by 1

makes no sense either way since you never go solo bb in bossing

lion>nj, that's established fact.

but 50% more damage is absurd

[sweet delta]

40% take it or leave it

[wind hazel]

no

[atomic abyss]

what is this, a BB garage sale?

[stark quiver]

look my shiny UR can do better than your shiny UR!!!!!

[whole crypt]

I tried it too similar results: likely combination of NJ damage buffed by Lion; Lion missing; lionflame damage not included on end screen

[sweet delta]

NJ stat padding with aa

[whole crypt]

I took out AA guns not sure how that adds up

both were just meck gun plus table

not at home I could try more later

[cobalt robin]

pr9 should be around june right?

[strong tartan]

mid july per usual

[cobalt robin]

i still havent finished pr8 😔

[onyx flame]

well you got 4 ish months to do so

[stark quiver]

you have until game eos to do so
much like the other PR seasons

[whole crypt]

it takes like 3 month

4 is enough to finish ships if you ship focus

[elfin hollow]

so Is there a way to get cube quickly?

[whole crypt]

commissions event if you haven't gotten those

[elfin hollow]

I already do it tho

5 days left and I'm out of cube for Moskva. ANd close to 150

[whole crypt]

pay scamcat or give up

[elfin hollow]

ok. I can buy the level 70 boost. And speed run the map

[whole crypt]

not sure if that helps significantly over just buying cubes directly

unless it's unlocking a tier on the commissions event turn-in

[late flame]

whaling for cubes would only kinda make sense if near the UR pity imo..

[untold sierra]

Are they providing information on which ships will be in PR9, or do we only have an estimate?

[atomic abyss]

not even an estimate

admittedly there's only so many ships they can choose from

if they announce it, it'll prolly be with CN anni in late may?

[untold sierra]

Thanks bro

[whole crypt]

doesn't CN anniv usually just say "yes we have it this year too" and the roster takes another while

[atomic abyss]

usually ye

[lapis pebble]

is there someone that i could mlb to help progression? im currently in ch9

[silk sphinx]

Check medal shop?

[silk sphinx]

You might be able to get a useful ship there

[lapis pebble]

medal shop DD

[silk sphinx]

Hm both? Aight

[lapis pebble]

ye

[silk sphinx]

Well hood with her augment as flag position is pretty good

I do notice these are all bbs/bcs though

You can check out cvs too

She’s also already lv70, you really should lb her

[lapis pebble]

My cv

[silk sphinx]

Lb0 (so no limit breaks) are capped to lv70

[lapis pebble]

ok

[silk sphinx]

Lb2 for example ca reach lv90, lb3 can go to lv100 and over with cognitive augments

[lapis pebble]

until 6star hood?

[silk sphinx]

If you use something, always limit break fully

[inland shoal]

(Unless you're using dupes ofc)

[silk sphinx]

Non-limit broken ships are far weaker than mlb (max limit broken) ships

[neon ice]

any changes for light arbiter ?

[silk sphinx]

Looks good

[inland shoal]

You'll basically never want to use non MLB ships so if you have 2 LB2 ships that just means you won't be using either

[silk sphinx]

That said I think we’re heavy this month no?

[lapis pebble]

is there a good gold farm under chapter 9? i always lack of gold got 100cube no gold

[silk sphinx]

Always higher chapters

Ch9+ have oilcap

[neon ice]

idk , i'm just shuffling the fleets a bit

this for heavy medium

or should i put bisko 2 back ?

[silk sphinx]

Hm bismarck zwei would replace Alsace, and z52 agir

[neon ice]

heavy is this . messed up the ss

[silk sphinx]

Mecklen really wants biszwei

Sure that works great ofc

[neon ice]

so for med , boot alsace and agir

[silk sphinx]

You can try out Moskva and nakhi instead for better stop/dmg, or swap out implac for shinano ig for more damage but no stop, but your fleet is already great

[silk sphinx]

Well technically that fleet would do both med and heavy

Mecklen/biszwei/lion is very strong

[neon ice]

i can use either fleet to finish off if necessary

[silk sphinx]

Mecklen flag

She’ll deal the most often but otherwise looks great

[neon ice]

alright other than that , it's finall ?

[silk sphinx]

You can customize your mob fleet (e.g. independence for crossfleet buff)

But otherwise it’s golden

[neon ice]

mob fleet is a mess

[silk sphinx]

You can consider replacing eldy with William porter for higher damage, though she doesn’t have a slow and isn’t as tanky

[silk sphinx]

And this, but once again as is its great

[twin bronze]

Tbh i keep alsace for her crossfleet

[silk sphinx]

Mecklen and biszwei go as a pair

And lion is the best ship in the game rn so…

[neon ice]

i did think of putting william , but i'll keep it as it is , as for nakhi-soyuz i just swapped them out , i want to go a few months with different setup

[silk sphinx]

You can read mecklenburg’s skill, she wants a German main fleet ship with her and biszwei by herself is already great

[neon ice]

alright , thanks for the help

[neon ice]

i think i'll use alsace for mob

[frank mason]

hi can i ask , is there any guild to finish chapter 15 - 3 and 15- 4 new , i watch youtube but still cant pass it ( skill issue hard ) . Can i see your team and gear when you pass it pls

here all ur i have @@

[onyx flame]

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

[silk thistle]

Is it better like this, or the one who had 2 BBV?

[inner delta]

Bbv is not good

[silk thistle]

(I've tried using Dual BBV, I think It still works?)

[inner delta]

What are you doing

[silk thistle]

2 BBV, 1 BB, 1 CL, 2 DD, 2 SSV and 1 SS

[inner delta]

No i mean what are you going to do with bbv

[atomic abyss]

is this the same guy who mentioned BBVs last time

it is

[hardy geyser]

Hey guys, are any of these units worth it?

[atomic abyss]

a comp with 0 BBVs is the best, we have told you this before

[atomic abyss]

kazagumo by a long shot

[late flame]

Kazagumo

huh a bbv diehard

[hardy geyser]

just her?

[wary hawk]

yukikaze is currently a good pvp unit

[late flame]

oh please pvp

[hardy geyser]

Okok ty guys

[wide needle]

What ship to choose in 400?

[atomic abyss]

musashi

[frank phoenix]

Is this acc cooked ?

[atomic abyss]

it aint cooked till the event ends

[wide needle]

So I just got the new UR Ship is it best among frontal?

[frank phoenix]

Yeah,still hope I get her

But don't even think I can hit pity lmao

[atomic abyss]

you mean moskva?
yeah very good but not top priority to raise

[wide needle]

Should I still build in this event Im only at 48/200

[atomic abyss]

no

[frank phoenix]

Soyuz rerun soon

So if u already have Moskva u set

[wide needle]

The pity dont drag over to next event?

[strong tartan]

No

[lean valley]

Is Soyuz expected on the 11th? Or dead week first

[north gorge]

We don't know yet

The most recent JP patch notes didn't mention it though

[wide needle]

Which do I prioritize? I want at least 1 mob and 1 boss fleet. Minneapolis 1st and 2nd skill alrrady lv. 10 (Im returning player)

Im planning on HELENA retro > Ark Royal retro > Sandy retro (too expensive for immidiate upgrade)

Im also tempted to invest on casablance

[wheat ore]

can anyone give some advice, i recently ran out of dock space (360) and i retired all my grey ships (it still wasn't enough), what else should i retire now? the blue ones?

[wide needle]

I think same as you only 1 unique ships each blue above

retire useless rare,epic,sr ships

[plain saffron]

you can retire easy to get rare and get them later, or max them now for fleet tech(the good ones) then retire them

[untold sierra]

How did the diamond mission come about in these commissions?

[atomic abyss]

it appears in urgent at random
chance to appear by actually playing the game

[elfin hollow]

So. I'm around 130 pulls. Will I make it at the end of the event?

I download from Qooapp. And basically I got region lock so can't spent real money tho

[cosmic wasp]

Any idea how can use it?
I just can't complete the 2nd wave on event the enemy bullet are flying everywhere

[shadow yarrow]

Anyone have the augmented roon dps chart and comparisons

[onyx flame]

Unless you got excess cubes from the comms event still not purchase no

[onyx flame]

Use them from the depot if you purchased them, wouldnt reco going lower than season 6 with them thou

[wheat ore]

wait so if i mlb them and retire, how can i keep track of which ones i have done?

[onyx flame]

Fleet tech page

[wheat ore]

ah okay ty, with the grey ships should i tried to get copies of the ship instead of using purple bulins?

[onyx flame]

It be better and in theory it should be fairly easy

You can also just yeet them and dont bother mlbing since the faction tech given is very small

[wheat ore]

ah okay, i suppose the hardest is getting enough exp for them.

[wheat ore]

so just mlb the blue ships for now?

[onyx flame]

Could do that

[elfin hollow]

Yeah. I have none tho. Maybe I will tried to do the 12 hours mission. Maybe it will give me some

I still got around 300 gems. Can get me 11 cubes

But...

[onyx flame]

I wouldnt do either of those 2 suggestion you just put forth

[elfin hollow]

Yeah

[versed forum]

who should i pair with eld? idk if kazagumo is needed maybe pick laff2+sirius?

here my vanguard

[forest palm]

I'd still take Sirius + Kazagumo

[elfin hollow]

how come it says hard mode for this map is not available? this is for main chapter 2 i already cleared up to chapter 7

[late flame]

have you 3 starred the chapter?

[elfin hollow]

no i have not yet 3 star becuase sortie doesnt seem to want to 3 star it for some reason..

[tulip tinsel]

you need to 3star it to acces hard mode

[late flame]

if you cannot 3star check the clearing mode *turn it off

[elfin hollow]

i did your method and still the auto clear bot doesnt seem to clear all enemies. and i cannot get 3 stars

[stoic horizon]

It because auto-clear targets as many mobs as it needs and then goes straight for the boss
If you wanna clear all enemies you'll have to manually lead your fleet to every mob and only then take out the boss
(Unless there's some secret auto-search function I forgot about)

[wheat ore]

how do i get the great reward?

[elfin hollow]

oh my.. thank you. seems like manual it is..

[stoic horizon]

Quite sure the great reward is just the thing you get at 7 lanterns answered

[wheat ore]

oh i see

[robust onyx]

You've already gotten it

[hard dock]

Is it worth putting coins / cubes for Mecklenburg rn if I'm only at 32 prints

[wind hazel]

how many cubes you got

[hard dock]

900 ish

but I also need reruns

[lapis pebble]

better get shinano or new jersey from the newbie mission reward?

[hard dock]

No Hood?

[elfin hollow]

Should I rush the handbooks to get 20 free cubes?

[lapis pebble]

i have hood

[elfin hollow]

Can I have like... 100 of them?

[wind hazel]

i'd cube some

[hard dock]

[woven star]

You can get some cubes for 5 star opsi maps. At least u can try

[wind hazel]

shinano, when you need her last duplicate to max limit break. otherwise just don't use the invitation

[lapis pebble]

ok

[elfin hollow]

I’m running out of oil constantly… any tips to get more oil or is the below summary good enough

[wind hazel]

pretty much summarized there

[serene moth]

whats the siren hull type this month

[wind hazel]

heavy, like my mother

[hard dock]

Don't use low cost fleets if oil cap

Some maps have oil cap with clearing mode

[hard dock]

Like my soul

[spark patio]

is this chatgpt?

[elfin hollow]

Perplexity with Claude but ChatGPT is included

[tulip tinsel]

what is this bs

biggest bs i ever heard here wtf

[elfin hollow]

Blame “gamerempire”

[late flame]

perfect example of why ai is shit

[hard dock]

Blame gamerempire

[tulip tinsel]

not ai, just really old outdated shit

[hard dock]

Farm event and buy oil from event shop

AI should've compiled Azur lane from scratch and played the game smh

[river junco]

There was one point in the game where retiring ships did give a bit of oil but it doesn’t now

[spark patio]

just pause for a few hours then play again

[elfin hollow]

is it true this game has less "whaleable content" compared to games like afk journey/afk arena?

[tulip tinsel]

you can get every ship for free

[river junco]

Yeah, whaling isn’t worth it, so its really only to get skins and stuff

[spark patio]

this game is friendly F2P

[tulip tinsel]

whaling mostly for skins and more dock space

[hard dock]

Use free gems for dock space

And oath Hood

[spark patio]

this is optional ofc

[late flame]

maybe ask in #al-general or #off-topic

[rotund narwhal]

man where do I get t3 general parts

[silk thistle]

Not just bbv btw...

I successfully know how to make a Spam Fighter

[stoic horizon]

Chapter 6 and above drop Gen Parts and event stages should too
Not sure which event maps exactly anymore but in general the later maps all drop T3 gen parts

[rotund narwhal]

Thank you

[elfin hollow]

so i have shipyard unlocked but i dont really know what to do with it to start. but i think i should start it sooner than later. is the below tips about right? im thinking of starting with st louis purely based off looks.

[spark patio]

Roon first iirc

[tulip tinsel]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/
yeah anything but ai please

also don't bother with shipyard until w12 just choose one or smth and ignore it

[spark moth]

How many blueprints do DR ships need?

[whole crypt]

513 for dev30, +215 if FS

we're not really expecting new ships till at least late March?

[spark patio]

new PR series?

[whole crypt]

nope

new events are usually towards the end of each month

[hard dock]

[hoary relic]

how long does it take a meta boss enter dossier? a year?

[whole crypt]

around 1.5

[whole crypt]

you pick pretty much any PR1 you can work on

the Roon recommendation is mostly tech for KMS

[hoary relic]

mostly we do roon first cuz she only need like 150 tech point iirc

[whole crypt]

Roon doesn't need tech points she needs 8 KMS vanguards

[hoary relic]

while ancho is quite hard since she req 1k

[hoary relic]

yep, no wonder why she is easily accessible

[whole crypt]

you pick Roon so that you get KMS tech for later series KMS
it's significantly less relevant unless you're trying to speedrun FdG, AvP or Agir

considering Plymouth is now coinable Neptune is a perfectly fine choice

as is Monarch

[hoary relic]

ply is coinable now so agir is less prioritized

[lapis pebble]

where to farm t3 gear part?

[whole crypt]

ch6+

[lapis pebble]

any ch6+?

[tulip tinsel]

world6 and above

campaign

[hidden pasture]

What to buy in the event shop?

[wind hazel]

check the doc on pinned message

dont get gangut meta before event ends

[hidden pasture]

So get her after the event ends?

[soft raft]

Yuh

If you manage to get her from B/D3, that saves you 8k event points

[hidden pasture]

Is she good?

[soft raft]

Eh not really

Or at the very least, she isn't good enough to stand out amongst other SR BBs to be worth going for

[hidden pasture]

Great

[onyx flame]

ur rerun right after ur event

[tulip tinsel]

finally soyuz

[hot turret]

Mmmm, I should probably start saving I heard Soyuz is good

[undone plover]

Get moskva if u havent already but yeah after can save for soyuz

[soft raft]

Oh wow ok then lmao

[strange flame]

how many cubes can you get a month?

im scared that, ill just not have enough cubes for future UR and alsace rerun

im on 260rn

[soft raft]

At least 180 somethin off of dailies/logins/weeklies alone

It's higher than that if you include commissions

You also get build tickets during reruns, which UR reruns have a slightly higher amount of those than normal reruns

[strange flame]

so even with my current cube count, its worth rolling for sovetsky?

[hardy umbra]

Could someone help me check my gear for Hood?

[undone plover]

If u like DOA collab maybe dont go all in on soyuz

[strange flame]

replace that gun

[undone plover]

theres a DOA collab?, do we know their abilities, they gooid?

[hardy umbra]

I had that feeling a long time ago, I just didn’t know what to replace it with

[undone plover]

Check second link
And please keep stuff +10 dont upgrade to +13 before u ask

[strange flame]

purple 410mm

[hardy umbra]

Mk

[whole crypt]

this will be DOA collab 3 you can check wiki for past collab ships but we don't know if there'll be new ones

[hardy umbra]

Is there any reason to it other than armour modifiers?

[soft raft]

Higher rarity doesn't always mean better

[undone plover]

Collab with 3 banners perhaps
2 rerun + 1 new
Some are decent
But no way to predict future unit kits
Probably will be very good but still nowhere near UR levels

[whole crypt]

also the roster is going to be quite large if there's new ships so getting all of them from 0 will be a pain

[hardy umbra]

Oh alright

[undone plover]

If u like the collab then save up for it imo
Soyuz will be added to perma in 1 year
And with moskva being a thing
Soyuz is much less crucial than before

[soft raft]

A large amount of gold gear that you can get from tech boxes is just categorically dog shit ass like that BB gun you currently have on Hood

[hardy umbra]

Whats the 410 better at compared to the 406?

[strange flame]

this one too, ammo type, and damage per minute

[undone plover]

Which 406?

[hardy umbra]

Triple for Royal Navy

[whole crypt]

there's like 10 guns that are 406mm

[strange flame]

he is using the normal 406, north carolina

[whole crypt]

there's like at least 5 guns that are triple 406

[strange flame]

at least i think they are the north carolina guns

[hardy umbra]

South Dakota too no?

[undone plover]

Faster gun
Easy offset from other backliners
More barrages
Good for some ships and when u lack twin 457 or radar aux

[soft raft]

Slightly faster reload time which is slightly more useful for ships like Hood who have a barrage that procs when they fire

Realistically tho the difference is quite small for the average player

[hardy umbra]

Oh alrighty then

[strange flame]

this triple 406 is good

[whole crypt]

but anyway ammo modifier is the main reason

[strange flame]

budget transitional purple

[hardy umbra]

What abt the twin 381mm?

[soft raft]

"Budget" my foot, it's the 2nd best HE BB gun

[strange flame]

i suppose the the word 'cheap' wouldve been a better descriptor

[whole crypt]

actually mk6 is 3rd best now

[strange flame]

not very good

[soft raft]

No

[soft raft]

Oh yeah Lion gun is HE lol

[hardy umbra]

:(

[whole crypt]

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

[hardy umbra]

And here I was thinking I could make a historical loadout 😭

[whole crypt]

if the BB gun is not listed there don't use it

[hardy umbra]

Thanks chaps, I’m gonna go dump all my purple plates into hood

And Vanguard while I’m at it, she’s got the shitty triple 406 but only to +7

[strange flame]

its alr, its not like gear spawns in out of thin air :). i would just use the purple 410 or triple 406 and slowly build up to better gear

[hardy umbra]

Which ones better?

[strange flame]

406

[hardy umbra]

Faster?

Or does it just have more dps?

[soft raft]

Bench Vanguard
She won't be doing shit at 0LB, not to mention she's pretty eh for camping anyway when her main value is in Operation Siren

[soft raft]

Twin 410 if you want speed
Triple 406 Mk6 if you need damage

[whole crypt]

the easiest way to not go wrong is to use triple 406mm Mk6

unless the ship's name is Musashi

[hardy umbra]

💔

[hardy umbra]

I’ve got the triple 410 for her

[strange flame]

you get that purple gun from eagle union boxes, an the 410 from sakura box

[whole crypt]

Musashi wants the twin 410

[hardy umbra]

Also obscenely high level
No I didn’t know that I wasn’t supposed to max out my guns

[strange flame]

musashi needs a japanese gun

[hardy umbra]

Its Japanese

[hardy umbra]

Its the Azumo gun IIRC
Very good anti medium/heavy

[strange flame]

this one is great for musashi, fast fire rate ap gun

[whole crypt]

you are supposed to max out your guns in terms of enhancement, but only on the right guns

[strange flame]

if you dont have that, i think this one is the next best cause high fire rate

[whole crypt]

gear rarity is most a trap if you don't know what you're looking at

[strange flame]

yeah, yamato gun is ong kinda ass -_-

[whole crypt]

that one requires an upgrade in lab and it's a marginal improvement over the base twin 410

[strange flame]

and its rainbow -_-

[whole crypt]

I heard triple 410, not triple 460

unless he's naming the wrong gun the only triple 410 is izumo gun which is outdated

[strange flame]

im talking about the 460mm musashi event gun

[whole crypt]

no one brought it up except you I think

[strange flame]

ye, i just brought it up in response to the rarity is a trap statement

but i didnt structure my statement well so i just sound like a dumbass lmao my fault

[whole crypt]

it's not specific to triple 460 anyway, the best is to just not pay attention to the gear's rarity at all

[strange flame]

does bring the funny number up tho, so nice for the screenshot

[leaden turret]

Who should i do as PR? Mecklenburg?

[soft raft]

As in your very first one? No lmfao

[leaden turret]

Nah I got some already from 1-6

Got all the DRs from 1-6 except azuma, brest and kear

And some PRs too

[soft raft]

Meck if you want another UR BB
Nahkimov if you have Soyuz and/or Moskva
Gouden if you want a Guam side grade and/or need more AA for W15-16

[leaden turret]

Is nakhimov still viable w/o soyuz?

[hollow gust]

use Moskva

or if you are dirt broke Vorshilov works

[weary edge]

turns out it is soyuz rerun LOL

[hoary relic]

does soyuz rerun with any UR vanguard ship? or just her alone

[robust onyx]

Alone

[soft raft]

Currently Guam, Alsace, Fritz Rumey, Lion, Hakuhou, and Lexington II are the URs with shop URs

(Laffey II, Mogador, Z52, Traffalgar, I-404, and Porter respectively)

[hollow gust]

#trophy-room

[hoary relic]

btw, still mog good to use

[frank phoenix]

how many cubes left from daily/weekly missions until moskva banner ends?

[weary edge]

well it ends this coming thursday

[onyx flame]

4 cubes a day for the next 4 days and 12 from weekly
so 28 cubes guarantee

[frank phoenix]

so i need to rng 10 from somewhere to hit pity

[onyx flame]

doable

[hollow gust]

there are cubes from the commision shop

[frank phoenix]

2-4 from event shop

already brought most from there

stuck at 13-1 ,need more AA. that's maybe 1-4 cubes if i get more upgrades it

[hollow gust]

doubt you are having AA issues, the rest of your comp is subpar

[sweet delta]

just play the game, 10 cubes is like nothing from 5 days of commissions

[frank phoenix]

nah,literally i only have 2 viable AA guns

the rest is just quadruple/random guns from tech boxes

getting overwhelmed by planes on boss stage

[tulip tinsel]

more cv's good for w13

[hollow gust]

you can beat w13-1 with purple aa guns...

[frank phoenix]

will try it again later,got mlb musashi and a few more lvl105-120 ships

since last attempt

[hollow gust]

more CV - easier clear

[frank phoenix]

unicorn,independence retro,essex retro

running indep and uni for mob and essex for boss fleet

[twin bronze]

Is it fine if my acv is 4.5k for 16-1 and 2? I can use another CV in boss fleet but I don't wanna replace independence

[sweet delta]

you can do it with 2k acv

[frank phoenix]

what the f are those cats?

[hollow gust]

holloween cats

[leaden turret]

Whats shop UR?

[frank phoenix]

skins or separate ones?

[robust onyx]

The other UR in the same event

[frank phoenix]

also,not even a day downtime between moskva and soyuz rerun is criminal

[leaden turret]

Uhh elaborate please? Havent been playing for quite a long time

[robust onyx]

Those were list in the post below that 1

[soft raft]

Some UR events feature another UR that is only obtainable in the event shop

[robust onyx]

(Laffey II, Mogador, Z52, Traffalgar, I-404, and Porter respectively)

[soft raft]

This started with Guam back in Dec 2023 and has been occasionally a thing every now and then ever since

[real haven]

didnt soyuz stock tanked to the ground cuz of moskva too

[wise cairn]

Any way I can stop main from taking lots of damage in 14-2 boss fight?
Also I need BB gun good against boss armor if theres one

[eternal basalt]

Put Musashi along with them

[soft raft]

Yesn't
More like you can now free up Soyuz's spot for a 3rd CV if you so choose to

[robust onyx]

Stop submarine aircraft and suicide boat from revealing your backliners

[soft raft]

And Soyuz can still be a solid option for your boss comps depending on what URs you have

[real haven]

also lowk i should swap essex for raffaelo

(i never cared abt meta til now)

[hollow gust]

95% of people cant be picky, soyuz will very likely be your best in slot for your nahk

also what is that fleet for?

[real haven]

yeah seems fair, still a really good combo

[wise cairn]

Ok I can mlb her but I got like no coins

[real haven]

mostly mobbing, tho might be forced to run bosses in opsi too

[wise cairn]

How I do this?

[hollow gust]

both NJ and Essex can and should be swapped
that vanguard is unnesesarily bulky

[real haven]

would replace guam for moskva later

when i actually can run moskva, kinda low on bulins rn

[sweet delta]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-detailed/

[hollow gust]

Both your guam and Napoli can be swapped with more versaile ships, especially in higher stage worlds

[leaden turret]

Oh neat, and what currency is used to get them?

[real haven]

moskva, i plan to run napoli for well, being napoli

as i said im not gonna go hyper optimised, i want some fun too

rn i mainly care abt fixing the backline

[woeful sluice]

event currency

[leaden turret]

I only have z52 from the list, which one should I try to get?

[sweet delta]

[hollow gust]

Raffey is flatly a better ship then NJ, essex is a worst mobber then a faster CVL

[real haven]

im still building so thats why i even ask yall 🙏, but aight gonna get raffey up then

[eternal basalt]

You can get it with event currency, but that is VERY ecpensive and should generally not be done...

[real haven]

for an essex replacement what would yall recommend

[eternal basalt]

Any you can get during their reruns

Or the new one during CN Anni

[woeful sluice]

yeah I was trying to simplify for him. Since the currency to buy the UR from the shop is still event currency (but another currency) but obtainable from daily SP stages and so on

[pliant flax]

Help i claimed my license reward but i did not het the price

[hollow gust]

cruise pass? you gotta email al suppor

[pliant flax]

K thx🙏

[tulip tinsel]

Is this cross brooch good

[hollow gust]

ehhh

[real haven]

also i forgot to max independence red skill level

does it matter?

[hollow gust]

just max it now

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Cross_Brooch

[real haven]

boutta finish some ships

so ig after this batch

[fast frigate]

is soyuz worth to get it? i have moskva

[wind hazel]

do you have lion meck zwei alsace?

even if you have them she's still worth imo

[fast frigate]

i only have lion

and im developing nakhi rn

[wind hazel]

then it's not even a question whether she's worth or not

[fast frigate]

so do i pull for her?

[robust onyx]

You'll get free pull tickets

[fast frigate]

oh sweet

[robust onyx]

Use those 1st

[sweet delta]

if not a question then is it an answer?

[wind hazel]

it's an objective

objective: survive get Soyuz

[hardy geyser]

Which one worth it to limit break?

I know there aren't many options

[tulip tinsel]

Musashi

[hardy geyser]

Right now, thank you very much.

[woeful moon]

Which stage for farming gold?

[forest palm]

12-4 or higher

[sweet delta]

D3 if < 55000 event points else 12-4 or higher

[woeful moon]

Any suggestions on cats? What I should be looking for?

[sweet delta]

Drake Every Teach and whatever submarine or carriers cats with good talents

[woeful moon]

Is it not possible to combine purple cat boxes into golds? I have like 3k purple ones

[atomic abyss]

no

Best ways to grind gold?

[tulip tinsel]

^^

[slow charm]

Not high enough level to do either. Im trying to get the guaranteed UR pull from the current event. I have enough cubes, but not enough gold. I was told I should try to pull for it and I'm not too far away at this point

[tulip tinsel]

highest you can do then

[slow charm]

thanks

[woeful moon]

Thanks

[river junco]

If WDP only has 6 luck, what happens when you equip 2 cats with the destiny skill to lower it to 0, then WDP's skill activates to -1 luck from 0?

[boreal wagon]

yes

[dusty gulch]

do i need musashi gun to time bismarck zwei with torp bombers?

[woeful moon]

does drop down menu not exist?

[flint arrow]

How do i submit the coins

[tulip tinsel]

when you have 1b coin you can click claim and get 2000 coin

[soft raft]

It's more like "collect"
Prob some horrendous TL error there

[flint arrow]

oh ok, thanks

[woeful sluice]

If I have 33/50 bp's for a Tenrai do I just buy the remaining 17 from protocore and stop there or do I buy the remainaing protocore Tenrai prints aswell? I can craft the 2nd tenrai in gearlab

[flint arrow]

can anyone help me make fleets to full auto w15? i dont have pr 8 ships and pr7 have low dev lvl. no guam. i should have all other urs

[rain timber]

Guys, if I need a high HP and low EVA girl to get tankier, should I give her a +EVA equip?
And, if I have a low HP and high EVA, do I give her +HP stuff?
Is my intuition correct here?

[undone plover]

Yes pretty much
Rule of thumb we use here is double hp for DD
EVA + HP for cruisers

Toolkit + rudder or
Toolkit + toolkit are the default options

[rain timber]

thanks!

[elfin hollow]

Does the cash shop get updated every maintenance or new event or rerun of event?

Question for those who may know; if you have DDGs in the vanguard position, do the automatically send or use missiles, or is it just strikes from the map screen?

[sweet delta]

They fire automatically according to the reload time , and commanders with poor eyesight can easily miss the missiles

[sweet delta]

/ddg

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

DDG Mechanics

Vanguard Mode:
No Preloaded Missile
No "timestop" on missile launch, can't manually aim; missiles are launched automatically
Missiles travel similar to surface torpedos
Main Gun shell speed +10%
AoA reduction carries over (8 shots for AoA)

Main Fleet Mode:
Preloaded Missile
Gains "timestop" on missile launch; can manually aim (similar to BBs)
Missiles launch in a tall arc with low spread (similar to Georgia barrage)
HP +50%, Evasion -40, Damage Taken -20%
AoA proc every missile shot
Gains "Hidden" mechanic; Damage Dealt +15% when "Hidden"
Main Gun range set to 75 (used for intercept; greater than twin 130 and twin 128 base ranges)

Note: Vanguard Mode is stronger. Main Fleet mode is worse than most BBs and only good for preload or low-cost fleets.

[vale badger]

Thank you for that

[vale spindle]

the DDGs all have barrage spamming stuff and the missiles can easily hide in the background amongst them

also not sure if missiles are affected by gear skins or not

[viscid swift]

might wanna give this a read

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRMH0Yyv6vWH1apqWU7t0xV9xax73CELlCIC5g7Lw-pJnKpwDM4UBcTN22oqnfRKKq-3GQ6_0FbhcB8/pub

[ocean terrace]

wait Soyuz is rerunning in 4 days? that's a whole lot earlier than I thought...

I haven't actually used my remaining UR bulins/spec cores on WillyD yet so I should use them on Soyuz then when I get her right?

[wind hazel]

that depends on what you have

[ocean terrace]

I have no good BBs

[wind hazel]

from what i remember you need soyuz more than wdp

[ocean terrace]

yeah still using Maryland retro and Kotori

FdG is taking a while cos I took a month break too

[rapid tusk]

Great, thanks!

[viscid swift]

Snowrealm Peregrination Ship and Gear Overview

Souvetsky Soyuz: Overall, still a solid UR battleship, but she has been powercrept by the likes of Lion, Alsace, Bismarck Zwei, and Mecklenburg. She does have a niche in buffing Admiral Nahkimov and activating her root, but it looks like Moskva will replace her in the role to allow for a more powerful main fleet to be run in place of Soyuz. However, she is still a UR battleship, making her incredibly useful and versatile for new players. She’s a solid pick up for newer players lacking in UR BBsm, doubly so if you missed out on getting Moskva to pair with Admiral Nahkimov.

Ognevoy: A decent Gold destroyer with decent damage and a small heal for the vanguard, she’s a decent option for newer players if you happen to get her, but she’s not a ship I would go out of my way to get if you’re lacking on cubes.

Pamiat META: Another decent Gold vanguard, she has similar damage output to Ogenvoy, and she can also mob tank pretty well during the early game. Again, a decent choice for newer players, just bear in mind that because she’s a META, she needs her own Crystals from the event or META shop to limit break her and META enhancement material to enhance her stats. Solid pick up from the event shop.

**Poltava **and Svirepy: They’re Elites, pretty mediocre ships all around, tech and collection only.

Triple 406mm (MK-1)/Soyuz Gun: One of the best Gold AP Battleship guns in the game, it’s a very good pick up for new players. It will be used extensively against medium and heavy armor bosses.

Cross Brooch: A pretty mediocre auxiliary all around, 300 HP isn’t terrible, but it’s not great either when you consider a Toolbox gives 500 HP. The barrage is also pretty mediocre, and the conditions are too restrictive for it to be of much practical value.

[inner delta]

wait, have you been doing these stuff or its just recent

[viscid swift]

just recently because Sam and the team seem to have fallen behind on them

[inner delta]

o

[rapid tusk]

Out of what I've got I thinking Musashi or William D Porter. What do you reckon?

[late flame]

Musashi

[viscid swift]

since you're new Musashi or Soyuz if you get her

[rapid tusk]

Ok I'll go with Musashi

[vestal leaf]

What's the best oil efficient way to farm coins? 11-1 map? Or are there any niche event maps / any other ways?

[viscid swift]

13-4 but honestley I'd rather farm 12-4.

[soft raft]

12-4

If you're not able to do that, then the highest oil cap stage you can comftorable clear

[vestal leaf]

Ahh ok ty all 😁

[rain timber]

Guys what War Archieve campaign would you suggest to newish players? (not that new - commander lvl 80+, but never had the patience to look into War Archieve stuff)

[soft raft]

Divergent Chessboard for getting Iron Blood ships (for the tech points)
Passionate Polaris has a stage with oil cap that you can grind prior to clearing W9
And there's a few maps with good equipment drops but that can come way later when you're absolutely bored

[hot turret]

So I got quiet a lot of these things, but uhm I haven't changed any of them in quiet some time, so I want to know if any of these are useful. I know some purple are sometimes better than gold but I just want you guys opinion

[soft raft]

Go give this a read
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

[hot turret]

Alright

How do I know if I'm about to fight a light, heavy or medium boss?

[plain saffron]

For opsi bosses you can disable fleet lock and go in to see
Other than opsi, is the enemy is shipgirl, usually it's same as playable counterpart
If not see hulltype, like dd usually light armor etc

[wind hazel]

you can also use this https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/bosses

[heavy zealot]

Laufey II , wdp, or someone else? I can get 3 ur bullins from shop, and havent gotten ones from event

[pliant barn]

Which is better for heavy bosses (Shinano)?

[rain timber]

thanks a buuunch!!!

[stark quiver]

right

[heavy zealot]

:3?

[hot turret]

Definitely Laffey II is worth max limit breaking

[heavy zealot]

Oke, then save for someone good who might come?

[hot turret]

Well Sovietsky Soyuz is coming next event rerun and I heard she's very good

[soft raft]

Musashi > Soyuz (if you get her) > Implacable > Laffey II > WDP > I-404

Alsos just go ahead scrap that Shinano dupe

[hot turret]

Oh yeah maybe Musashi is better lol I don't have her so I couldn't tell

Btw is Evasion good for the main tank in Vanguard?

Cause I got this high performance hydrolic steering

[onyx flame]

Good for cruisers

[onyx flame]

yyea, shes right after next week maint

[pliant barn]

Should I equip a dive bomber (first slot) for gen. use?

[stark quiver]

no

[hollow gust]

odd??

[whole crypt]

ectl is outdated and gear reccs are confusing/stupid

[stark quiver]

theres no general section in the quick gear guide

[hollow gust]

Cause each gear is useful for different purposes, if you are running her in campiagn Flap, tenrai and Wyvern is very very good

[whole crypt]

there's nothing odd about that but just don't use ectl

[hollow gust]

the unfortunate part is, ECTL gearing is understandable if you know what ur doing; but ECTL is marketed towards newbies

[pliant barn]

Guess I was just confuzed by their reccs... torp bombers are sitting at the very bottom of the tier list.

[whole crypt]

if you know what you're doing then Shinano's top recommendation for slot 1 should be a TB

[hollow gust]

[whole crypt]

I guess slot 1, all the TBs are at the bottom

[hollow gust]

nothing wrong with a faster flapjack for campaign, ECTL isnt ment for single target after all

[hot turret]

so giving my main tank max evasion is a good idea? She's a cruiser

[whole crypt]

and yes it's somewhat sorted by gear type

[hollow gust]

its reliant on you reading the gear description, its confusing but not odd..

[whole crypt]

the recommendations are not a strict top down in priority, they're grouped by plane type with no context when to use what

[onyx flame]

typically you run 1 eva aux + a toolkit, there are some cases where you run 2 eva aux (but idk when)

[hot turret]

alright

[whole crypt]

regardless just use qgg, ectl's gear recommendations are not very good at this point besides just the site being out of date

[hollow gust]

too much nuance in the way they setup gearing for newbies

[fast frigate]

how should i spend my cubes on if i have 260 cubes

[rain vine]

1 light construction per day

[fast frigate]

ok

[strange junco]

how do i get alot of cubes

in 1 month

[exotic sorrel]

💳

I think someone said you're guaranteed to get 168 cubes per month

(minus the commissions iirc)

[stark quiver]

💀

[forest palm]

[whole crypt]

boga has summons? how does she fare for YTM

[atomic abyss]

It only took them 3 years to finally admit it

[whole crypt]

lmao

didn't you already take them off /tierlist month ago?

[atomic abyss]

Yeah

[pale mason]

i have nhakimov and mecklenburg done for PR6-8 DR ships. what is the next DR priority, to be using my rainbow prints on?

[wind hazel]

gouden

or kearsarge

[glossy granite]

The end.....

[forest palm]

~~good riddance ~~

[glossy granite]

I might cry

[atomic abyss]

The gifs also need to be ended

[glossy granite]

Cmon man 😭

[elfin hollow]

should I Buy meta at all?

[atomic abyss]

No

[tulip tinsel]

tech only

[slow fox]

we win

[vestal leaf]

Up to what seasons can I coin up PR ships and DR ships?

[tulip tinsel]

Gold s6 DR s5

[vestal leaf]

Ooo nice that opens my options up then. I'm thinking of going for a coin-able DR. I'm debating between Hakuryuu, Agni, or Plymouth? (Already have FDR)

[tulip tinsel]

Plymouth

[vestal leaf]

Alrighty then 👍

[onyx flame]

~~fdr? Franklin D. Roosevelt? ~~

[vestal leaf]

Oh fdG lmao oops 🤪

[whole crypt]

FdG is easier to replace with a modern BB than Plymouth is with other modern vanguards

[spark patio]

can i lv META ships to 120 without upgrading their stat? i dont have enough mats for all of them

[whole crypt]

you can level META ships without LB and fortification

[lapis pebble]

whats the priority to buy in core shop for newbie?

[whole crypt]

it's just going to be rather annoying because you're basically just going to have to babysit the whole way

https://azurlaneecgc.com/shop_priority/#core_data

[spark patio]

hey, im abt to get another 3000 prototype core. i already had 1 tenrai, which should i buy next? another tenrai or other gears?

[wind hazel]

do you have AP guns?

[spark patio]

what is AP guns?

[wind hazel]

minus the amount of meck gun you have from the 3 total

if you have 1 meck gun, get 1 of 380 and 406. if you have 2, get 1 of 380 or 406

if you have 3 then maybe can skip

[spark patio]

so which should i buy? ply gun or the rainbow 457 gun

[wind hazel]

bro

actually with soyuz rerunning, you can minus 1 as well

[dusty pier]

Is there a guide on how to fleetbuild

[solar lily]

what does this girlie even do (i just got her after not logging on for months)

[wind hazel]

for campaign, somewhat, up until w13 https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

[whole crypt]

tank, good damage, minor slow that works well with Nakhimov

[solar lily]

mmm ic

[wind hazel]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRMH0Yyv6vWH1apqWU7t0xV9xax73CELlCIC5g7Lw-pJnKpwDM4UBcTN22oqnfRKKq-3GQ6_0FbhcB8/pub

[solar lily]

im guessing her event exclusive 220mm is a good substitute for the UR german 203

considering they have basically the same stats

[wind hazel]

better stats

[whole crypt]

better stats in most things that matter, slightly worse in things that don't

[solar lily]

alright

[lapis pebble]

for newbie retrofit who after unicorn?

[wind hazel]

usually portland, but nowadays it depends on what you have

[safe nexus]

Do i pick someone or keep?

[whole crypt]

just keep

[lapis pebble]

does the cost limit mean 29 oil per enemy and 39 oil on boss? Even with full team?

[north gorge]

yes

[woven star]

Move Hood as flag, and Helena in middle

[lapis pebble]

ok, and whats does it do?

[woven star]

BBs have good hp pool and def, middle position the most protected, Helena week ship and has low level between others

[wind hazel]

makes your hood barrage centered, so that it miss less

[lapis pebble]

[soft raft]

To go into a bit more detail, besides Flagship being the best position to defend against suicide boats, like Voltic said, they have better bulk (since if the flagship dies, the entire fleet goes down with her). The majority of BBs also have barrages that are centered around them, meaning that if you put them off-flag, that means they're basically completely whiffing half of their damage as it careens off screen

[lapis pebble]

my hood always take dmg first than other 2 main ship tho (died first)

[strange junco]

how/where do i farm commander exp

[soft raft]

If you're not at 12-4: grind the highest stage you can comftorably clear with full fleets, preferably a map that has oil cap
If you're at/past 12-4: Grind 12-4 as per usual

[soft raft]

Yeah that's why BBs are better as flag
Tho I'll say if she is actually getting her HP chunked, that sounds like a limit break issue, or if this is W10-11, you need to give her a fire extingushier

[lapis pebble]

mlb on w10 with fire suppresor but no augment

[soft raft]

Realistically don't bother focusing on gear, just slowly get the relevant ones from protocore shop

[soft raft]

Sounds like a servere level issue then, what level is she?

Her augment won't really help her survivability but it's really good for her damage output since it buffs her barrage proc chance to 100%

[lapis pebble]

86

[soft raft]

I guess just idle at whatever season that has the UR gear that you want to farm for

Most of the relevant SR research gear is now obtainable elsewhere and the rest are just eh

[lapis pebble]

i need gold farm tho cuz cant lvl up retrofit or anything rn or summon

[soft raft]

Farm W9 then
You're already past the point where you have acess to oil cap stages

W9 doesn't have as many suicide boats as W10-11 so Hood will have a better time living

[lapis pebble]

farm with 1 full fleet until low threat?

[soft raft]

that should be natural over the course of repeatedly farming the stage yes

[lapis pebble]

3.7 gold per oil in 9-4

[cosmic wasp]

Question how can I acquire currency on this one?

[stoic horizon]

You have to do campaign hard mode stages, that gives the currency, otherwise iirc through weekly missions

[cosmic wasp]

Thanks and how can I know which T4 are fit for her I'm confused

There eagle, Sakura etc...

[stoic horizon]

Equipment shouldn't be judged by nation but rather by what equipment you can get, iirc Eagle has priority but I'm not sure anymore

Gear can be equipped regardless of the faction the ship belongs to, just some choices are better than others
Refer to the gear guide for more details

[cosmic wasp]

Thanks a lot and for info

[exotic sorrel]

Isn't Alabama with her augment or Monarch with augment way better

[soft raft]

Yes but you dont know if he has either of them or not
And tbh it sounds like he's not really in a position to work on Monarch quite yet

[exotic sorrel]

Oh yah makes sense if they're early game

I give mine fire extinguisher she's quite squishy

[serene moth]

Need help with team/gear for hard arbeiter

[plush moon]

where did they put story option this time?

[whole crypt]

the inn minigame

[plush moon]

oh thanks

[dense arch]

Hi chat just asking, newbie here, I was thinking if I should save my cube or keep pulling for Moskva mlb (still need 3 copies to mlb)

[silk sphinx]

general rule is to never pull for dupes

[onyx flame]

you shouldnt be pulling for copies to mlb unless your mega rich in cubes

[silk sphinx]

if you're an old player, then you would be getting enough from regular UR bulins, and wouldn't need it

if you're a new player, you have too few cubes, and need to save them to get ships on banners

[onyx flame]

esp considering soyuz is rerunning right after

[silk sphinx]

in sum, there's pretty much never a good reason to pull for dupes using cubes (unless you're super close to pity)

[dense arch]

Ah I see, alright then thanks for the advise, I will just save it for the next UR and get one copy of them then uncap with bulins

[onyx flame]

there is if your in a weird spot of catch up of needing more ur bulins to mlb but your sitting on excess of cubes

[silk sphinx]

if you're catching up then literally every ur banner, rerun or not, is someone you don't have, so you can't afford throwing cubes at getting dupes

though you can get ofc an excess of cubes, i think i've got ~1.6k rn and many here have more

but that's really just for old players, which makes the question of needing dupes vs UR bulins a bit pointless

[solar lily]

is soyuz good

well damn okay

[sand ore]

Hey guys need advice: new player and i am building a team: Main: Nakhimov, Hakuryuu and Shinano. VG: Moskva, kazagumo and Sirius.

However i lack a lot of Fleet Tech to build Hakuryuu and with Soyuz rerunning (and i have enough cubes for him). How can i insert Soyuz in this team? (Got no other UR aside Moskva and Shinano, the latter is not MLB)

[solar lily]

20 cubes and a dream

[tulip tinsel]

you get 44 build tickets so you could get her for 0 cubes

[silk sphinx]

iirc you'll get ~44/45 free pulls max

[wind hazel]

if you're new, you just forget about ships that you cannot max in the nearest future

[hollow depot]

maybe I should've saved for the rerun?

instead of spending everything for moskva

[silk sphinx]

well, did you get her?

soyuz is great, so is moskva

[sand ore]

I will have 4 bullins when Soyuz arrive. Which i was going to MLB Shinano, but now it seems better give it to Soyuz

[silk sphinx]

moskva is technically closer to top of the meta, but BB > CA in general value here

[wind hazel]

that is correct, soyuz>shinano for you

[sand ore]

Do you have a recommendation of a super rares (or research ship) to complement nakhimov, moskva and soyuz?

I was thinking using sirius and kazagumo for completing VG, but i lack knowledgment what i can use as the third Main for a boss fleet

[wind hazel]

boss fleet for what

🫃🏼

[sand ore]

Against a medium/heavyish boss. Since Mozkva does really well against it and i like using her and nakhimov together

[wind hazel]

you remove soyuz, add shinano amagi/hakuhou/hakuryu, whichever pair you have

for heavy at least

[solar lily]

i have so little rainbow bulins for the amount of URs im getting

[wind hazel]

for medium it's usually soyuz nakhimov fritz

[sand ore]

Any SR or PR/DR i can use in the place of Fritz? While i wait for its rerun.

[wind hazel]

uhhhhhhhhh...

nobody comes to mind, probably just use your next strongest bb

[subtle cave]

this only gives affinity and not morale right?

[languid trout]

i've got 80 medals should i pick yukikaze or kazagumo

[forest palm]

Kazagumo

[untold sierra]

What's the fate simulation

[plain saffron]

skill upgrade(1 for PR, 2 for DR) + luck stats for research ships

[shell quail]

i've got a choice to spend my UR bulins atm, which order should i limit break them in between, Moskva, Trafalgar and krohnstadt?

[undone plover]

Show everything u have to get better advice

Between these 3 it is trafalgar but if u have neko dev30 I am leaning towards moskva

Dont waste bulins on kron

Show every UR I mean even the mlb ones

[shell quail]

Sure just give me a mo

[crimson lake]

Is there a list for ships that are safe to scrap?
Like ships that aren't limited

[shell quail]

@undone plover

[crimson lake]

i running out of dock space

[soft raft]

Anyone not in this section of the building wiki page is limited
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Building#Permanent_Construction

But normally the move is to scrap common, rare, and elite rarity ships you can easily re-obtain, usually it's not worth scrapping SRs

[undone plover]

Trafalger then
Moskva when u get neko dev30

[sweet delta]

It gives neither affinity nor morale

[crimson lake]

tyty

also i remember there being rewards for completing a full set of one ship class, I think it was gems

Or like whatever else, was that removed?

[onyx flame]

its still there just never got updated under mementos

[hardy umbra]

Guys is my hood setup better now? :<

[soft raft]

That DD gun is ass but yeah sure I guess if you're poor that's fine

[hardy umbra]

What should I replace it with?

[ionic edge]

Which UR ship should I level next

[hardy umbra]

Do you want the best choice or my own personal opinion

[ionic edge]

can i get both lol

[onyx flame]

lion, is the best choice

also

[hidden pasture]

Soyuz rr next?

Btw is there an event follow up this event

[ivory pawn]

This week yes.

[hidden pasture]

Do we have another event?

[hidden pasture]

Da hood

[soft raft]

Wdym by followup

[hardy umbra]

Best? Ask someone else
Personal? Vanguard

[hidden pasture]

After this event will we have another one

[soft raft]

Yes, but not right after Soyuz Rerun ends
And we currently have no idea what the next event will be

[soft raft]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Twin_128mm_(SK_C/41)#tabber-Type_3

[sweet delta]

No

[sweet delta]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Twin_137mm_(5.4"/48_Mk_1_Prototype)

[hardy umbra]

That? always thought it wasn't good

[soft raft]

I don't think he has OpSi unlocked yet

[sweet delta]

Considering they have a twin 127 D

[hardy umbra]

surprisingly I do

[sweet delta]

It's the best purple gun in that slot, but you can just craft the 137mm which is the best gold gun in that slot

[soft raft]

Oh that's a gear lab gun?
Nvm then yeah

[hardy umbra]

honestly i just base everything off of total stats

[hardy umbra]

oh sweet

whys that though? is it just about rate of fire?

[sweet delta]

For shooting enemy bombing ships, BB secondary guns want good damage per salvo, targeting range, spread, pierce, and to a lesser extent shell range and shell velocity. Rate of fire usually doesn't matter

[hardy umbra]

oh okay then

and the purple 128mm does all of that better than the golden 127mm D mount?

[sweet delta]

Iirc does everything except damage better

127 D doesn't have range or shell velocity to even do its damage properly before the bombing ship explodes

[hardy umbra]

well thats a waste of material I'm never getting back

[sweet delta]

Basically gear is very complicated with all their stats, so you can just copy the homework guides

Scroll down to the DD guns section, 127 D is pretty good for DDs and cruisers, not BBs

[hardy umbra]

oh ok

yay

[sweet delta]

If it makes you feel any better, your +12 gold triple 406mm is useless forever

[hardy umbra]

already scrapped it

threw on the purple triple 406mm from south dakota

still, gotta swap one out for Vanguard
