[onyx flame]

Arent there yet, its lvl 10 rn i think

[safe nexus]

lexiII cowpen independence

[onyx flame]

[undone plover]

U might have better options for backline but for those 3 I think sirius will be better overall

[safe nexus]

someone said to use that idk if cowpen is better or ships like unicorn

[onyx flame]

Uni shouldnt be considered for bossing at all

[undone plover]

For meta cowpens will be better
If they told u this maybe it was cause u didnt have better options idk

Imo come back to ask when we get level 15
So we can make u a fleet to use everyday until then ask for support

[safe nexus]

not much here

[safe nexus]

ok thx

[undone plover]

Do u have hvar planes?
If not maybe better to run BB

[safe nexus]

whats hvar :D

[undone plover]

Actually I dont even fully know the gimmicks
Imo just come back to ask when we get level 15

[safe nexus]

i only know this

[undone plover]

Yeah this is hvar
Very good vs light armor

[onyx flame]

Main gimmick is regen will spread 5 mark spread out for who ever has the highest stat of each. If a ship carries more that 1 mark they takes like 200% more dmg or something
And if someone with the mark sinks she reclaims it gains 20%dr per mark

[undone plover]

I see

[safe nexus]

i got confused reading her gimmick

[undone plover]

I will read the sushi guide when she gets to 15
So far brute force is working

[safe nexus]

that summary helped

[hollow gust]

just clap it with eagle faction fleet

[safe nexus]

for limited banner if i got the ship at 100 pity, do i go for another 100 for the guarantee?

how much only is it worth then?

[tulip tinsel]

like 20-30 off

[safe nexus]

got it thx

[bold stump]

Is Mecklenburg good?

or does she need to be paired with another ship?

[hollow gust]

very very busted BB, she becomes even better with Bismarck Zwei, who also happens to be op too

[viscid swift]

Yes, might wanna give that a read https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRMH0Yyv6vWH1apqWU7t0xV9xax73CELlCIC5g7Lw-pJnKpwDM4UBcTN22oqnfRKKq-3GQ6_0FbhcB8/pub

[solar sapphire]

Have many things changed in these 2 and half years?

[shadow yarrow]

Is pittsburgh the most recent eagle ca right now?

[timid beacon]

A whole lotta new pr ships n idk what else

[solar sapphire]

I'll try to log in again

[sweet delta]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/ships?nation=1&sortType=date&type=3

[shadow yarrow]

anchorage chan
technically im wrong but i was deliberately ignoring child alts

[solar sapphire]

I've been checking, and I think I stopped playing right before Guam and Laffey II

Usually, where would be have our accounts linked to?

[hot turret]

crap I didn't save the page, does anyone have the link for the best gears for each ship class?

[inland shoal]

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

[hard dock]

Any downside to using this one over the non-kai version for BB gun?

[inland shoal]

How did that question go unanswered for an entire hour 🥀

[hard dock]

Like why is it good for c14 but not better than the base one for other stuff?

[inland shoal]

Mmh I think outside of w14 it can lead to missing cuz the shots are relatively slow and focused so if you have a fast suicide boat approaching you it always fires behind the boat if you get what I mean
While the base gun has more spread so even with "wrong" aim it can still luck some hits in

You'd probably want a 2nd opinion though cuz I honestly kinda forgot most things about the meta of this game at this point

[undone plover]

that is how I remember it as well from what was discussed here in the past 👴

[hollow plank]

who should I MLB? thank you!

[viscid swift]

might wanna give that a read

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

[rain timber]

Can anyone like, briefly explain to me the difference between those 4 things? I have like no idea which ones I should prioritize buying, which of those things are used for what, etc.

[inland shoal]

Needed from left to right for: +13 UR gear, +13 SR gear, crafting of some gear lab UR gears, crafting of many gear lab UR gears
Ideally get all of them

[sweet delta]

i would say priority like this

[inland shoal]

Ordnance that important by now? Didn't realise

[sweet delta]

one step closer to having 200 plyguns

[rain timber]

Where would you put SR Gear Design in this ranking?

[sweet delta]

at 3.5 if you're new, but after a few months you don't need to buy them

[rain timber]

Thanks a bunch Sushigummy and Thorin!

[whole crypt]

it's probably more of how few of them you get each month

[eternal basalt]

Just farm them normally,don't buy them

[whole crypt]

but if you clear up your strongholds you should be able to afford all of them anyway

[fleet marten]

Should a Roomba suffice than a Sex Borfors for AA Carries?

[hot turret]

yep thx

[lyric night]

what guns does wdp want?

[inland shoal]

Depends, but can often be better, has a bit lower dmg, but greater range

[whole crypt]

fast gun

[fleet marten]

I see, but if I equip for example a Twin 90mm to my other 2 ships while I have a Sex Borfor on my AA Carry, considering the Sextuple has less range but the 90mm has more, does it extend the range of the overall Vanguard Fleet AA Range? or it only applies to the ships who equips said AA Gun?

[whole crypt]

your AA circle is:

• sum of your AA guns' damage
• average of your AA guns' range and ROF

ignoring fuse guns of course

[fleet marten]

so dmg adds but range is limited to said ships?

[whole crypt]

AA guns work as one "combined" gun using the abovementioned stats

your ships do not engage planes individually

that's why you only get one large AA circle instead of multiple around each ship

[fleet marten]

then I guess a Sex Borfor is worth then once I tackle world 15 unless I just go Roomba for not crafting one

[whole crypt]

personally I'd say just wait till you have a pile of rainbow AA guns, there's no rush to do 15+

[fleet marten]

Thanks for this then, but World 14 is doable though right? considering I have a Hedgehog, Eld Retro, and good Main Defense guns?

[exotic sorrel]

Is this also the reason why one of your vanguard should have the roomba

[sweet delta]

Roomba is just one of the best gold AA guns because of range, no matter how many roombas are in the fleet or what other guns are there

[lusty gulch]

Is my fleet good? i got that character should i use it? or which character should i aim for?

[wind hazel]

repulse not good. eugen not good investment

[sweet delta]

Show everyone you have

Assuming their discord role is correct, they have double DD in medal shop

[rain timber]

I need a good HE BB Gun (for Richelieu). Which of the ones that I have access to is the best option?
is purple Twin 410mm Naval Gun Mount is better than my SR options?

[lusty gulch]

That's all i have i just started recently

[wind hazel]

mk6

[strange flame]

yes, those sr guns are not the very good

that triple 406 that you have is also pretty good

[wind hazel]

your best gun

these are alright but don't need them unless you're using musashi

the rest are fucking dogshit, especially the gold ones you have on penny riche

[rain timber]

Yeah I still fall on the "the more shinier the better!" trap quite often lol

[viscid swift]

I'm pretty sure I've linked the QGG for you on a number of occasions.....

[wind hazel]

we need to make qgg shiny

[soft raft]

Not enough red arrows

[viscid swift]

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

[rain timber]

Yeah that's where I even got the idea that twin 410 might be better in the first place. Just wanted to confirm here. Is is still weird for me that shiny SR gear can be dogshit while purple gear can be just straight up better, but that's something I'm just gonna have to learn to live with lol

Thanks guys!

[viscid swift]

I mean you can just check the numbers yourself

damage coefficient x base damage x armor moddifier

the Quad 356 just does straight up less damage than the Mk6

[hollow gust]

not to mention half its shots spray the water

[viscid swift]

before you even factor in the longer reload time of the former gun and it's higher spread and thus worse geometric accuracy

[rain timber]

People told me that comparing shipgirls was not just comparing stats, now here I am, learning that comparing weapons is just comparing stats

Sorry, it's just not very obvious when one should "just math it out", and when "well the numbers don't tell the whole story"

But gear = just math it out then. Gotcha.

[wind hazel]

shipgirl is comparing maths too

[viscid swift]

comparing ship girls is effectively just comparing stats

it's just that some of the stats are more difficult to wrap your head around

like barrage numbers, patterns, and geometric accuracy

[lusty gulch]

Enterprise isn't in the medal store right now, will it be there next month?

[viscid swift]

no clue

[wind hazel]

maybe yes maybe no

[viscid swift]

the rotation is random month to month

[lusty gulch]

okey thanks

[rain timber]

This had kinda just stuck with me since that conversation @viscid swift
(27 days ago lmao, what even is my memory)
(Sorry Taz for the necrobump)

[viscid swift]

Taz isn't wrong

most people when they say stats refer to the numbers you can see in game

there are plenty more than you can't see though

[rain timber]

Do you realize what I mean by "it's not simple to know when you should just math it out and when numbers don't tell the whole story" now though? 😭

[wind hazel]

the numbers do tell the whole story. you're just not accounting the other numbers from their skills, barrage, etc

[viscid swift]

if you want just a very rough comparrison, you can do a quick comparrison like this

my point was that with the KGV Gun vs the Mk6

[rain timber]

I also have to use the reload time to get dps though, no...?

[viscid swift]

just that rough comparrison will show you its worse

before factoring in reload and the soft factors which allow the Mk6 to pull even further ahead

[rain timber]

Also is "damage coefficient" the 3 in "DMG - 69x3"?

[viscid swift]

no

that's another damage multiplier you can't see in game

[rain timber]

[viscid swift]

you can easily find it on the wiki though or in Lars' Database

[exotic sorrel]

I js realized I don't think I have a good AP type BB gun

[rain timber]

At this point I think I'm just better off blindly following the ecgc guide and never questioning anything, unless I want to have to do research into hidden numbers that the game doesn't even show me

[exotic sorrel]

No way I'm gonna use those things that you get from techboxes 😭 I would rather stick with Mk6 even if it's HE, I also wanna know if the event gun one is a good AP gun

[rain timber]

https://tenor.com/view/shiideraii-gif-14380039779560819976

[exotic sorrel]

Oh it's called the Soyuz gun I HAVE ONE IM SO GLAD I BOUGHT IT FIRST 😭😭😭🙏 thankyou

[wind hazel]

at this rate we need a guide on how to use the guide

[inner delta]

what if just use both nickname and in game name so people dont always get confused, start with that

[hollow gust]

ECTl 2.0

[viscid swift]

we don't have enough space for that without redesigning the page

besides, we link all of them to their respective page in Lars' database

[inner delta]

then its maybe better to put in game name

like so many people get confused by nickname naming

like it's also kinda inconsistent youknow

if your argument about "the gun came with the ship" both are pr and both have the coresponding ship on the research that the gun are on

[viscid swift]

not necessarily practical

given how much names overlap now

[stark quiver]

it feels like its geared towards older players who know gun names already :laes:

[inner delta]

its more about making it more consistent and general majority will just see the actual in game naming

[stark quiver]

no nitro

[viscid swift]

for instance, Triple 406mm Mk6 or Mk7 could refer to 2 guns

[wind hazel]

to be fair cheeky use both on the pinned message

[inner delta]

yeah, im talking about the website

[wind hazel]

but they'd know it's soyuz gun

[inner delta]

yeah, but that from the game side game problem, guide personally i still think it would just be better to follow said game instead of making a new naming and its not even consistent like where is "georgia gun" or "new jersey gun" etc

im just recommending the more general approach, if you think the current is still fine then its fine, since you people are the owner, so you can do w/e you want

[viscid swift]

I mean I agree but the space limitation is our main limiting factor

[inner delta]

yeah, just something to consider

maybe if perchance found a better way to fit it, but if it's not possible then its fine

[hollow gust]

Nicknames are valid to the fact that there are over half a dozen meta triple 406, no reasonable player could remember the specific gun breakdowns

[inner delta]

im not talking about valid or not, im talking about general use case it's always better to use what game use

yes its valid, yes most people know but there's always the chance of people not knowing and that's not good for a guide to do since you want to be generalizing as much as possible to reach more people

[viscid swift]

maybe we should just add a note saying the names link to database so they can see the full name there

[inner delta]

also it give you reason if people still confused about said 406, "we only use the one ingame, so blame the game"

[hollow gust]

[inner delta]

you said about the many 406s, if you already use the name in game and people still don't know then it's game fault

[stark quiver]

quick gear guide aint so quick anymore

[rain timber]

Game just needs to add an option "sort by dps against armor type (light/med/heavy)", that would make the guide obsolete and just make the game better, and equips less confusing.
(yeah it wouldn't account for spread/missed shots ig, but that would be a pretty good estimation tbh)

But I guess digging for ambiguous names and hidden numbers is just better lmao

Alas, we are not Yo-Star 🫠

[viscid swift]

hardly

because you'd still get shit like this

[stark quiver]

single 152 x 4 is good

[hollow gust]

Sorting by dps against amor type invites far more confusion, even without accounting for spread there are 3 different variables to a gun

[viscid swift]

and before you ask, no, that blue gun isn't nearly as good as the DPS numbers suggest

[hollow gust]

cofetti gun

[rain timber]

Why IS equipment even this confusing? 🫠

[sweet merlin]

what to do with a dup UR that is alread MLB?

[viscid swift]

ask the devs

[soft raft]

Scrap

[hollow gust]

scrap or keep as trophy

i also have a spare vanguard for shits a giggles dps testing

[stark quiver]

its only confusing if you try to minmax

[viscid swift]

it isn't even min maxing, that gun just isn't good period

[sweet merlin]

can i brute force 13-4 with my boss fleet?

[viscid swift]

probably

[stark quiver]

bruh no soyuz 😭
tickets are a scam

[hollow gust]

ulrich🤢

[sweet delta]

not probably, but it begs the question of why

[sweet merlin]

ill happily trade you my spare one

[sweet merlin]

wjats up with her?

[sweet delta]

using 6 level 125 ships in farming mob 💀

[sweet merlin]

i'm farming PR

smnd coins

[sweet delta]

farming PR using the boss fleet only, plus 6 ships wasting exp in the mob 💀

[sweet merlin]

it wants full IB main

my boss is 3 IB main and i do not wanna overhaul my dorm so i just said forget it just use boss

[sweet delta]

did you mean you will use your boss fleet for all 7 mobs plus the boss

[sweet merlin]

yeah

[viscid swift]

Well that's very dead

just use some XP packs and boost some other IB main fleet to level 90 or so and spam them in W12

[hollow gust]

just do it in w12

then you can use any ironblood garbage u want

and its more exp eff

[solar sapphire]

Hello again

Sorry to bother, I managed to download the game again

How can I now enter the game and recover my old account?

I remember it was on the Avrora server, I tried to enter and was sent to Little Sandy iirc

[viscid swift]

did you bind your account

[solar sapphire]

I remember I did that years ago

[viscid swift]

preferably to your yostar/email

[solar sapphire]

That's the only way to enter in other phone, yes?

[viscid swift]

before you login then bind the game on the new phone

[solar sapphire]

Alright... I will try, I hope I didn't lose my account

[exotic sorrel]

Cuz I'm a returning player these gears are new to me so I can't really memorize them

Pretty sure back in my days the twin 457 was the only UR gun that existed :v

It shouldn't be too hard to like get used to the nicknames after like a few weeks

[wooden osprey]

how much is the 2 ring pack?

[stark quiver]

980 gems

[sweet delta]

On the guide you can just look at the picture. In text form like this channel, sometimes you'll have to ask

[glossy iron]

Difference between heavy and special banners?

[sweet delta]

Bait banner is the same as bait banner

But to answer more specifically, heavy has BB/BC/realCA while special has CV/SS

(seriously, avoid those two banners )

[glossy iron]

Alright thanks

[glossy iron]

I've sunk 107 pulls on them-

[sweet delta]

💀

[glossy iron]

But oh well thanks anyways

Are the URs in the exchange pool now technically in the standard UR pool or are they still technically limited? And also for limited banners is the only UR you can get the one is on banner or is that chance on top of the chance to get a UR?

[viscid swift]

They are in the standard build pools

And events will only have that event's UR in the build pool

[wind hazel]

what is realCA

[viscid swift]

What

[wind hazel]

realCA

there's real and fake CA now?

[sweet delta]

maybe i just meant low rarity trash by fake CA

but the emotional damage caused by Kent is very real

[slow fox]

real CA have medium or heavy armor

[wind hazel]

kent is as real as my eyes that can see mirror

[solar sapphire]

I was able to enter the game

In my own account

So now I have to bind it with the new thing?

[viscid swift]

Yes

[sweet delta]

you can bind it from the website without installing the game, you just have to know (or chance upon) the correct old bind

[hard dock]

Don't all CA's

Wait that's CB

[slow fox]

Yeah

[atomic abyss]

No

A few CAs don't have med or heavy

As suchi said, usually the lower rarity ones

Stuff like Wichita
I believe Suffolk and London too?

[strong tartan]

just the treaty cruisers iirc

[shadow canopy]

How do I get this retrofit item?

Its not in the proto shop?

[north gorge]

Wait for it to rerun around EN anniv this year

It's the newest UR retro so it's not old enough to be in protoshop yet

[shadow canopy]

[timid beacon]

Wait for a rerun ain’t no wayyy

I was exited to retrofit my Essex but won’t happen soon then

[onyx flame]

its in like 5 months

[spark girder]

is this pamiat meta good?

[white musk]

Would it be worth it to pursue a second LA-9 for nakhimov, or just grind out an Hvar*

[wind hazel]

hvec?

[hollow gust]

Prob Hvar, either way those two complete different armor types, you will need 2-3 maxed LA-9s

[deep rivet]

not sure where to post this, but I was lacking funds to buy Gangut Meta's Crystal. Will I ahve to wait for a re-run or just wait for a few months for the Meta Crystal to be available for Crystal Fragments?

[white musk]

I thought they were both medium armor?

Or was la9 heavy

Idk
I was digging in the documents last night, memory suck

Either way, I'll keep on researching LA-9, ty

[wind hazel]

it's already on the shop

[deep rivet]

Oh Thank you, I missed that

Why is it locked hahaha

[wind hazel]

hvar light
la9 med heavy

i recommend getting 3 meck gun before getting more la9, it's simpler and more efficient to setup than minmaxing multiple la9 that will require additional gear

[wind hazel]

do you have gangut meta?

[deep rivet]

yes

[sweet delta]

wait 3 days

[wind hazel]

oh have to wait the grace period ends?

[onyx flame]

prob cause the event shop is still here

[deep rivet]

That makes sense

[wind hazel]

real

[deep rivet]

Thank you again

[white musk]

Im developing meck rn anyways, so this works out

Thanks mori

[solar lily]

whats the Mecklenburg gun best used for

[hollow gust]

Medium and Heavy Bossing

[dawn igloo]

should i keep pulling for the guaranteed soyuz? i just pulled her for the first time at 161/200 rn

i am a new player so i have relatively limited ur bulins

i have enough to mlb soyuz but i was going to mlb shinano first

[north gorge]

don't keep pulling

[knotty jolt]

First: use dupes to max out shinano as bulins would be wasted on her, second depends on cube amount remaining personally since you say you're new stop and save, and third use the UR bulins for Soyuz she'll be a better investment imo

[light trail]

is kear/lex2/york2 + WDP the best for light bossing?

[stone lava]

For USS sub fleet, do you need snorkel/hull for all auxiliary?

[dawn igloo]

why should i use dupes for shinano, are they easier to get because she is an older ship? i have 187 cubes so enough to reach pity but my main worry is not having enough coins to build more ships, finally my reasoning behind maxing shinano first was that i have kazagumo and other ijn ships, but i do not think i will be getting admiral nakhimov for soyuz anytime soon. or is soyuz by herself still generally better than shinano?

[knotty jolt]

It's cause dupes are permanently avaliable

[light trail]

dupes are free and UR bulins are worth more on newer UR ships that you cant get free dupes of

[knotty jolt]

You can eventually get up enough to max out shinano through the perma pitty you cant with Soyuz and such, you are forced to use bulins once her event is over

[dawn igloo]

ah i see

[whole crypt]

easier to just snorkel/hull, may depend on which torp you use on what content if you really want to minmax

[knotty jolt]

iirc yes for that vanguard will be boss dependant idk about willie d tho

[light trail]

i thought i read willie was peak

[whole crypt]

WDP is an auto slot for uss antilight

[stone lava]

ok yeah ill just throw snorkel/hull on for all lazy lol. Also, I have like 600 gold torp prints. Just spam +13 a bunch of bidders and g7es?

[whole crypt]

you mean torp plates

[stone lava]

yeah plates sorry

[knotty jolt]

Bidders if lazy but imo put the plates to g7e cause atleast later you can reclaim them if you upgrade to the k version

[whole crypt]

I'd save for G7eK

why even reclaim just craft up then enhance

600 isn't enough to finish the second torp anyway

[knotty jolt]

still working on second g7ek missing a print

[stone lava]

alright thx. Finally bothered to actually look into subs a bit

[whole crypt]

let me see if I have anymore G7es to recycle

[light trail]

pic 1 (yk2, imp, ru) is my current opsi light fleet, if i just change to pic 2 will that be like the best i can get rn for light boss?

[hollow gust]

What's hamman doing there

[light trail]

cv boost (kaza is in another fleet)

[hollow gust]

Kearsarge literally has it built in

[onyx flame]

you can swap out hammann 2, since im pretty sure her skill doesnt stack with kearsarge one

[light trail]

oh sick, didnt know that. kear is barely dev30 for me so i havent used her at all and was looking to make uss anti light fleet with her. who are some good options to put instead?

[hollow gust]

Aurora

[light trail]

is she the best that comes to mind

[knotty jolt]

She's for consistency to increase hit rate

[onyx flame]

she works for opsi?

[light trail]

alright uhh... another option? because i dont have her yet somehow lol

[knotty jolt]

Other option would be trafalgar

Similar function just half from 20% evasion debuff on aurora to 10% on traf

[light trail]

she's in a different fleet

[knotty jolt]

[onyx flame]

prob easy to just show your vanguads

[light trail]

i'll go into my thread https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1251088141381533808

[knotty jolt]

I guess last option that comes to mind personally is Sirius

She buffs your carriers instead for +10% hit rate but only carriers so kearsarge doesn't get that benefit

[woven star]

Halford still bugged? How about her eva debuff?

[hollow gust]

Aurora is literally one of the best supports against CLs/DDs

[light trail]

i'll keep that in mind for when i get her

[light trail]

updated my thread if anyone is willing to help out

[slow fox]

-# When is AmagiCV Rerun

[onyx flame]

this year near the endish

[slow fox]

-# Need to save cubes

[solar lily]

aurora retrofit when

[wind hazel]

thursday

[exotic sorrel]

Oh god

That reminds me I managed to farm a lot of cubes :3 commissions were consistently giving me cube ones I think by May I can hopefully get that UR

[glossy iron]

I rlly rlly want Shinano ok-
And then I found out I could get her from finishing the tutorial quests and I'm probably just going to do that

[tawny notch]

Should I delete a bunch of my Sr's that im not using because they r taking up dock space

[wind hazel]

retire elite or rare first

[tawny notch]

Yeah i have like 130/150 after that

[wind hazel]

buy dockspace, 150 is the default

[scarlet cosmos]

How is enterprise lategame/in 2026?

[wind hazel]

you really dont want to retire SR ships

[tawny notch]

Dockspace is so expensive

[wind hazel]

irrelevant

[tawny notch]

And im not paying for gems

[wind hazel]

you will have to suffer then

[timid vortex]

tashkent mu is fragile or am I doing something wrong?

[tawny notch]

Love the exortion

[wind hazel]

you're doing something wrong by using her in the first place

there's almost no reason to use her at all

[timid vortex]

I'm not doing some hardcore content to care about meta

[wind hazel]

then enjoy her and her fragile hp

[elfin hollow]

I got ognevoy now. Should I lvl her up or save for 2nd squad?

[wind hazel]

what are you using?

[elfin hollow]

Laffey, helena and portland

[wind hazel]

2nd fleet

[wary hawk]

It's just basic f2p game monetization unfortunately

Design a problem, sell the solution

[timid vortex]

I fixed her. Now she's surviving just fine

[elfin hollow]

Btw. Who is coming for next banner? And are they a good unit for newbie

[wind hazel]

we dont know what's on next banner

[elfin hollow]

Oh.

[timid vortex]

hopefully someone boring because rolling on third banner in a row is bad for my account economy

[onyx flame]

well all we know is its sakura empire event

[wind hazel]

news flash, it's new Sakura Empire event, and it would be most likely something interesting

[timid vortex]

most jp ships I'm interested in are permament so we

[wind hazel]

famous last words

[timid vortex]

I'll delete your waifu if you jinx it

[wind hazel]

nooo you can't delete bache

[timid vortex]

no more correction

[muted wind]

if anything, didn't you jinx it yourself by saying it's we actually?

[tawny notch]

Warframe u can trade for the currency to get more slots, just greed tbh

[onyx flame]

unless your spending your f2p gems on skins, you should have more than 150 dockspace atp

[scarlet cosmos]

Are any Cleveland class ships good?

[tawny notch]

I mean yeah cause it wasnt a problem when I was getting those gems😭

[scarlet cosmos]

Also, does independence buffs occur with Cleveland meta

[onyx flame]

i dont think the cleveland class has been relevant in forever

[muted wind]

was never worth using for the independence buff anyways

[onyx flame]

considering her class is ashen might, imma go with no

[whole crypt]

my stand is if you don't care to pay for the game then the game shouldn't care about your opinion

[muted wind]

-# that's a funny way to put it but i agree

[onyx flame]

that and her unique aug changes the skill req so it dont matter anyway

[whole crypt]

regardless it's not worth bringing a cleveland just for Independence's skill

the closest to useful is monty w/ aug

[muted wind]

double-checked it and cleve meta does not have the tag independence checks for so she doesn't work, yeah

[whole crypt]

all META ships do not have their original class tags

[scarlet cosmos]

Sounds good

[wary hawk]

Making money is greed lmao

[muted wind]

-# i mean someone had to pay for the premium currency in warframe too so none of that makes any sense ngl lmao

[cobalt gate]

is there a guide on fleet tech farming for vanguard since i'm done with main fleet?

[onyx flame]

eva fp cruisers, fp dd

[glossy iron]

How can I tell if a character is good or not?

[iron berry]

Is there any good PR/DR6 ships? I effed really hard with the handbook. It has already been like 3 months and I might want to change it or clear it. It was very counter-intuitive to have the highest PR in there the worst xD

Well, "worst"

[iron berry]

I search for it in there

[glossy iron]

Thank you

[wind hazel]

kearsarge, shimanto

[iron berry]

I just saw that there is Series 7 in there, is it recent or my mistake was even bigger without knowing? haha

[wind hazel]

i forgor

[iron berry]

Shimanto is cuter but Kearsarge seems more useful to my dock... so Kearsarge it is

Thanks!

[onyx flame]

would rather you pick shimanto cause she can be coined at least

[iron berry]

Oh, I didn't know about that. Still, I have very poor Sakura Empire ships rn, so It will be easier for me to just develop Kearsarge for the time being

[twin bronze]

how much dmg loss does CVs suffer when they lose concealment?

[soft raft]

/detection

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Detection Level:
If the gauge hasn't been filled, your carriers gains "hidden buff", which is 10% flat AA resistance reduction to enemies (basically they deal more dmg) and they can't be chosen as a valid target (enemies BB won't attack your CV when hidden).
If the gauge has been filled, there will be an exclamation mark (!) displayed to the side of the gauge, and your carriers lose the "hidden buff". They will regain the buff when the gauge level falls below the red line.
The gauge will be slowly filled if spotted by the enemy (both planes and ships) if they crossed the detection line, when they are burning, and when launching an airstrike.

[glossy iron]

Is there an easy way to tell what gear is from what faction?

[soft raft]

oh nvm that doesnt really have a specific number

[soft raft]

You can sort by faction in-game

[onyx flame]

click on the gear then click on gear properties

[glossy iron]

Thanks

[whole crypt]

the bottom line is unless you're helping keep the lights on in some way, shape or form the it's kind of whatever, at least in WF you function as a pvp sandbag but that does basically nothing in AL

[woven star]

Shimanto more useful and less investment for developing her as coinable

She can extinguish all Burning ships. Some heal, AA and imo more useful than SanD. Good ship for w14+

[zenith heron]

Shimanto is the only important one in PR6,

since Kearsarge guarantees you to commit to Yorktown 2 and Lex 2 (Essex Retro if possible)

Meanwhile Hindenburg is just a pure dmg Vanguard, Top 2 if not on par with Unzen, and that's it

[elfin hollow]

Is unicorn a good meta unit? Is it really enough to MLB unicorn?

[wary hawk]

Unicorn is one of the most important mobbing units for any stage of the game

[zenith heron]

No reason to skip her honestly, especially as a starter

[soft raft]

She's the best healer in the game after retrofit

[flint arrow]

Are the arbiter fights once per month only? Also - not sure if i clicked too fast and missed something, but i feel i got way less rewards from arbiter hard than normal?

[rain bobcat]

because you do get less

[flint arrow]

Bruh

[soft raft]

Normal is the main one you want to beat
Hard is bonus

[flint arrow]

That seems omega backwards but fine. Either way, it's not farmable right? Just a monthly clear

[zenith heron]

That's right

The Order is usually : Temperance (Light) - Strength (Medium) - Hermit (Heavy).

Considering its Hermit right now, next month guarantees to go back to Temperance

[flint arrow]

Once you buy entire shop and clear arbiters, is there any relevance to doing opsi still that month? Just for meta coordinates?

[soft raft]

Correct
Tho you are free to fight the hard mode fight as many times as you want after you beat if you want to

[soft raft]

META showdown and continuing grinding for gear lab mats

[zenith heron]

Draining your AP efficiently other than Meta Showdown for grinding, like the person above me said so

[flint arrow]

As in regular drops from map?

Reclearing secure zones?

[wary hawk]

Mostly from the meowfficers, but yea, reclearing

[flint arrow]

Any specific tiles you target then?

[wary hawk]

EIther C3 or C5

[leaden turret]

Building a CV boss fleet currently, and I can exchange for UR rn
Should I get shinano/implacable?
My current mains are enty, york2, and AvP, with hakuryuu dev30 as subtitution

[zenith heron]

C1 I think for Farming AP and Scamcat

C3 and C5 for efficient farming stuff, since C4 rates are the same as C3 like C6 is to C5, it just gets more AP for the same rates, so not that efficient except the ones recommended

[soft raft]

Oil?

[zenith heron]

mb

[late flame]

Oil in opsi? lol

[zenith heron]

||Time to retire, one of my EN moments for sure ||

[soft raft]

Enty/Yk2/AvP would be anti-light
Shinano/Haku/Implac would be anti-med/heavy

Get Shinano if you haven't already from your rookie missions, otherwise get Implacable

[leaden turret]

...you can get shinano from what

[soft raft]

Yes
After the rework, the final reward was changed from a selector between Hood/Illustrious/Enterprise/San Diego to a selector between NJ and Shinano

[leaden turret]

Damn aight im getting implacable then thx

[onyx flame]

might as well get shinano to mlb her faster, unless your planning on using ur bulins for some reason

[wheat ore]

is there a reason to not use the rainbow skill books? because i've always just used them and the gold ones, never the blue ones

[undone plover]

Use them
Best overnight or when u know u cant login for a while
To maintain skill training uptime

[forest palm]

ah, we're getting 16 auto

[soft raft]

Clearing mode?

[forest palm]

https://azurlane.jp/news/734

[wind hazel]

sugoi less than 3 months

[soft raft]

Real

[soft raft]

That's prob the fastest we've got clearing mode for a campaign world right

[wind hazel]

w15 was exactly 3 months

[wheat ore]

is world 14 a small or big step up from 13? since i just finished 13

[wind hazel]

yes w14 difficulty spike is real

w13 is the last chapter where you can brute force with UR

[forest palm]

12 to 13 is a gradual slop, 13 to 14 is a steep incline

[plucky ice]

Which UR should I build next? Someone that can help me in w15 please

[wind hazel]

musashi or raffaelo will help w15. guam laff2 lexii as well but really depends on how many you can mlb

[wheat ore]

should i continue to push campaign in that case, i'm not sure what else to do but it seems that my fleets just aren't strong enough for it. Should i switch focus to doing some op si stuff and gear lab?

[wind hazel]

push when you think you are strong, or need the gems

[forest palm]

you can stop at world 12 and work on fleets and ops stuff

[onyx flame]

return to w12 and just grind fleet tech/shipyard/wait for ur bulins/opsi

[wind hazel]

i didnt push past w13 until i had 3 row stack of UR and lv125

[wheat ore]

as in your mainfleet is all URs?

[wind hazel]

when i asked for fleet for w14 and cheeky saw my dock and he went "i like what i see", gave me fleet, and i finished it in no time ezpz

[wind hazel]

no because all UR is trash

i meant i was overprepared for w14

nowadays we have stronger healer and ships, it can be done more easily than in the past

[plucky ice]

Should I use perseus over unicorn

[wheat ore]

so is unicorn still good for w14?

[onyx flame]

all the way to 16 still

[plucky ice]

and is using a healer on my boss fleet worth it

[onyx flame]

not at all, your looking to kill the boss before your fleet dies, so you want dmg and all healer dmg arent great cept cowpens but she's more of a subhealer

[uneven badger]

how to get this plane?

[onyx flame]

only source now is from war archive, parallel superimposition, D3/B3 map drop

[uneven badger]

hmmm alright

[plucky ice]

What do i need to change for my w14 mob and boss fleet because I am taking way more damage in 14-3 for my mob to continue

[onyx flame]

well, put a bb in there first and foremost

[forest palm]

HKHO could move to boss, but mob fleet could use a BB

[plucky ice]

OK thanks

[uneven badger]

is this one only dropped from war archive? I cleared D3 mirror involution 2 times and only got... one part

[onyx flame]

you get those easier and faster from research academy

[knotty jolt]

It's a research gear

[soft raft]

It's been a research gear for a long ass while

[knotty jolt]

the oil to print ratio isn't worth farming in war archives and of the gears avaliable only HVARs are worth due to being unique

[uneven badger]

:(

[uneven badger]

anyone got arizona meta guide/fleet? (don't roast me)

[onyx flame]

do /guide in botspam and check the meta chronicles

[late flame]

https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1Uz0UvQHsVUrlNz08Pc1IN04oABfMeiXTngfM8XJzRXo/mobilebasic

[uneven badger]

alright

[hidden pasture]

nah i dont have it

[knotty jolt]

Get them, they'll be used throughout the game

[wind hazel]

bro took almost a day to reply 😭

anyway get the 2 UR tables first

[eternal basalt]

Intern kun typed some shit wrongly

[soft raft]

Blucher event found dead in a bog

[whole crypt]

fun, not surprising though

[elfin hollow]

So I already retrofit uni. Currently Portland is on waiting list. should I retrofit helena/laffey after I done with them?

[onyx flame]

helena perhaps, the starter dds one are kinda eh

[elfin hollow]

fair

Damn. This event map cost a lot of oil.

[eternal basalt]

Can you make D? They have oilcaps

[wary hawk]

I suppose the oil cap of D is still pretty high for a relatively new player

[eternal basalt]

Blütcher reran, so it definitely gets archived

[timid beacon]

any way to do this? I’m trying to get this weapon and I’m not sure where to farm for the points

[viscid swift]

the event ended already

[eternal basalt]

Event ended

[elfin hollow]

Event ended before this event

[wary hawk]

The event ended

[timid beacon]

Rip

[exotic sorrel]

Is changwu any good

[soft raft]

That's the thing, it hasn't been archived yet

Meanwhile two URs and now this raid event that came out after Blucher are archived/going to be archived

[onyx flame]

kinda eh, technically like 3? highest dps vanguard but thats with a lot of conditional and it forces you to run her with other DE ships which isnt great plus she lacks AA/ASW

[exotic sorrel]

Oh...! No thanks I'm not gonna use her then ☠️

[tulip tinsel]

best option tbh

[exotic sorrel]

Cuz for some reason I kinda overlooked the fact that I'm kind of lacking good vanguard ships

My fleet 1 is lit just Roon, Helena and London (both retrofit) I also can't use Moskva since I used my bulins on Musashi

[red hawk]

You should be looking to get sandy from the medal shop when you can

Also, where is Portland and your start DD?

[wind hazel]

lots of good vanguard ships from shipyard

[twilit rapids]

struggling to clear a mob battle on 16-3 without musashi health dropping below half

[hollow gust]

Use Aquila

[soft raft]

Do you have Aquila?

[onyx flame]

or cowpens

[strange flame]

whats the best fleet for extra stage on this event?

[wintry wraith]

Question: Does the Item needed to Retrofit Yuudachi always available in the shop or is it a rotation alongside other items?

[timid beacon]

I’m abt to get my 3rd and 4th bulin ur bulin very soon at the same time who should i upgrade? I was thinking musashi but id like to know your guys opinion

[soft raft]

always avaliable

[whole crypt]

I'm guessing you're not getting soyuz at this point

[soft raft]

Musashi > Implacable
And maybe (And that's a very big maybe) UVH since you don't have another UR BB yet that you could otherwise use, but you could also just work on FdG instead if you can't get Soyuz

UvH and Shimakaze are some of the worst value URs these days

[whole crypt]

if not then go ahead and finish Musashi, if you're close to hitting next perm pity then save 1 bulin and wait for that pity for MLB

[timid beacon]

I just hit pity recently and plan to use all 4 on musashi

[whole crypt]

yeh that works, she'll probably be hard carrying you for a bigt

[elfin hollow]

how to get more of the cognitive awakening chis for 120 and above ships? what is best way to farm those?

[timid beacon]

Yes thank you I was hoping people would say musashi I’ve been itching to use her

[whole crypt]

you can't farm arrays, they only drop from the cog daily from lv100 onwards

[soft raft]

and they're in core data shop and event shops

[whole crypt]

besides that you'll have to be diligent with getting them monthly from core shop and when they're in event shops

[elfin hollow]

what is the "cog daily" and what do you mean level 100 onwards? what has to be lvl 100?

[whole crypt]

commander level

[onyx flame]

[elfin hollow]

oh thank you. how to do the level 100 tactical training does commander lvl have to be 100?

[soft raft]

I mean
why else would we specifically mention that

[elfin hollow]

is the max level of all SHIPS = 125? including PR and DR ships and META?

[whole crypt]

for the moment yes

[median prism]

Who is the 2nd best Nothern Parliament BB after Soyuz

[mint sedge]

Hi!
Which of these works best for Beaver Squad?
Its my automatic boss fleet

[elfin hollow]

what to do when you MAX LB and max level a ship? what to do next?

[soft raft]

Anchorage since she's the main tank and she has the least amount of EVA in the vanguard

It's wasted on backliners so they're out of the question

[whole crypt]

probably kazan who's pretty far down

[whole crypt]

then you level another ship

[undone plover]

Raise another one

[median prism]

Is belorussiya usable

[whole crypt]

what chapter are we talking about

[median prism]

Mainly for grinding exp for Nakhimov

[whole crypt]

then just use whatever gives you XP, it shouldn't matter for ch12 anyway

[vestal leaf]

Anyone know what these event points are and how I can spend them during the event?

[whole crypt]

chat frame

[elfin hollow]

is it recommended to do the daily tactical training the quick battle x3 option?

[mint sedge]

my np fleet its weak im farming xp for nyakimov in 11-4, but i think 12-4 its the best

[undone plover]

Yeah always quick battle
Iirc technically u lose some xp doing that but who cares

[whole crypt]

all daily/weekly raids can be skipped for max reward, there's generally no reason to use the actual battles nowadays after your first clear

[whole crypt]

you don't really lose XP since it doesn't cost you anything

keeping in mind daily/weekly raids don't have oil cap

[undone plover]

Rly? I remember some ppl saying u can manual them for more xp

[elfin hollow]

are there any SPECIFIC maps you can farm COG arrays?

[median prism]

Also is it good to have Nakhimov, Soyuz, Moskva and maybe Kronshtadt in the same fleet or do they not mix well

[undone plover]

No

[whole crypt]

it's a commander XP thing off the top of my head but it's not relevant nowadays

[undone plover]

Nakhimov + moskva/soyuz (and probably moskva better) is the better fleet these days
Kron not needed

[whole crypt]

daily/weekly raids have no oil cap and the XP isn't that amazing anyway

[undone plover]

Ah fair I probably mixed them up

[elfin hollow]

is cruise pass available to buy every 2 weeks?

[whole crypt]

if I remember correctly there's something about running them at some particular levels before that was somehow better than running stages, likely based on level penalty

[mint sedge]

I watch a YT video, with Nyakhimov and moskva cleanin OPS siren HARD boss, only these 2 last season, i wanna try that combo

[whole crypt]

OS bosses are kind of whatever nowadays

[onyx flame]

more like every 2 months

[whole crypt]

cruise pass renews every 2 months, buying it only grants you +15 levels on the current pass and there's usually no problem progressing to 100 even without buying

[elfin hollow]

oh it renews 2 months wow? so it is a great value, do you now when you can check the next renew?

[onyx flame]

its only good if you like the skin

[whole crypt]

they run in seasons, not 2 months from when you last buy it

it's fair value for resources but we generally don't attritube value to resources because everything can be waited out through grind

[elfin hollow]

is meowofficer worth it or marginal improement and no need to focus on it too much

[whole crypt]

just get a SR cat and throw it on for whatever token bonuses for now, minmaxing them can add a lot but it's also a lot of effort and coins
you will want 2 lv30 SR cats regardless for farming salvage nodes in OS

[timid beacon]

It’s a neat thing to have and ngl if you have played for a while and havnt touched them I’m sure you’d have like 10* sr boxes or more

[elfin hollow]

is SR cat solely referring to those that look like cat? or chibi characters also included?

[whole crypt]

SR are the ones that look like girls

[wintry wraith]

thx mate

[eternal basalt]

One girl gets 3 stacks during the META fight, shouls I replace her? She dies very quickly (now to find out who of the 3 it is)

[hollow gust]

Gotta spread it out to all 3

[whole crypt]

Eldridge/Traf/WDP seems fine

if you have 1 vangaurd taking all 3 you might have to split out your TRP and EVA and ACC

[twilit rapids]

musashi is still dropping below half even with aquila

[eternal basalt]

Will give a try tomorrow

DON'T use Musashi as flagship

[woven star]

There is test mode if coordinates depleted

[whole crypt]

even better CN and JP can test 15 now already

[woven star]

But even 2 stacks already overpowered

Still 13

[whole crypt]

as far as I can tell 2 stacks isn't going to work even with Eldridge walling

[hollow gust]

Isn't the current consensus eagle spam

[whole crypt]

USS + Eldridge/Traf/WDP seems the easiest to setup

[viscid swift]

Well what do you expect considering 2 stacks increases your ship's damage taken by 200%

[woven star]

330% I guess at 2 stacks

[whole crypt]

220

[woven star]

Hm. Ok

[eternal basalt]

3 stacks

[woven star]

I followed this

[eternal basalt]

So it's broken, great

[plucky ice]

I'm stuck at 14-3 the submarines kill my back mob hel p how do i counter it

[whole crypt]

by bringing good ASW

[whole crypt]

I'm not sure what EN client says but skill desc on JP actually says what it is

[plucky ice]

is hedgehog good

[whole crypt]

it's literally the best depth charge in the game

[lusty gulch]

should i get one of those?

[plucky ice]

Thanks

[woven star]

Uni can handle asw aux plane too

[tulip tinsel]

kazagumo

[eternal basalt]

It says 2 charges gives 220% damage, not 3.3x... can't show it now though

[lusty gulch]

who am i replacing for kazagumo?

[eternal basalt]

Also Eldrige retro and Hammann II have inate hedgehpg

[plucky ice]

should i put hedgehog on all of my vanguard ships

[eternal basalt]

You only have 1

[timid beacon]

Why not?

[eternal basalt]

She tanks all 3 ships damage, earliest to sink. And when flag that's a mission failure

[timid beacon]

Ohh alright

[viscid swift]

Run a rudder or fe on her then

[whole crypt]

[hollow gust]

Aurora should be better then Traffy

[whole crypt]

I guess was just lazy to regear Aurora

also considering Lion variant but I don't want to regear Lion

[soft raft]

[whole crypt]

worked once but not 100% consistent

[viscid swift]

Did anyone die?

[whole crypt]

afk'd that one but shouldn't have

hmm did a couple more all were kill runs

[hollow gust]

How did BBs do

[whole crypt]

didn't test

[timid beacon]

Best BB gun for musashi? I saw this on the top of the list so I’m not suure

[whole crypt]

make this

[undone plover]

this will work for 99% of content
upgrade it to the purple on on the right when u can
daisen gun in pr7 vs med/heavy enemies but u need that for bossing later only
twin 410 sth

/equip also check this for reference (QGG)

After daily reset will ticket vanish?

[whole crypt]

after next daily reset

actually just to be clear it'll be gone after the maintenance

[viscid swift]

Well that would explain no kill because Regensburg gains a 20% DR when a marked ship died

[whole crypt]

yeh I know but it didn't happen again, shit always just happens when you don't look

[undone plover]

would ply not work better than z52 considering the boss is light?

[viscid swift]

Does Plymouth even live

[whole crypt]

actually "next reset" should be turning to Wednesday for EN? so the following reset probably

[undone plover]

isnt she around z52 level

sometimes better sometimes worse?

[whole crypt]

Plymouth won't die she'll just kill another vanguard by giving her 2 stacks

[undone plover]

gimmicks

[viscid swift]

we could probably cheese it

[whole crypt]

also I'm not sure why light would favour plymouth over z52

[viscid swift]

Baltimore cope?

[undone plover]

well plymouth gun has good light modifiers
i remember sushi saying this for past bosses

but 5% fleetwide buff will probably edge out the 18% kear buff

[whole crypt]

considering the biggest damage dealer is Lex II more than likely

maybe if you use a Lion variant

[hollow gust]

Yorktown is such a op enabler

That DB unironically really important

[undone plover]

[viscid swift]

that's just personal DPS though

[hollow gust]

Z52 buffs the important part of a eagle fleet

[undone plover]

yeah

[whole crypt]

but yeh I'm just sticking with USS/Aurora, for what it's worth I'm not using the same gear as stig's doc for vanguard but it still works fine

[viscid swift]

could you try Lexington 2 flag?

for WDP's flagship damage buff

[undone plover]

how much was kear buff?
besides ARA

[whole crypt]

and increases the DMG dealt of your Flagship and your Eagle Union ships by 1% (10%)

flag and USS buff do not stack

[hollow gust]

[whole crypt]

but yeh I moved Kear to top like stig wrote to proc Z52 more, overall didn't see any significant difference

[viscid swift]

well Kearsarge still off flag for better uptime on Z52"s damage buff

[whole crypt]

yeh, it seems slightly better

[undone plover]

kear is 15% ara and 8% aviation
lion 10% fleetwide
correct?

[viscid swift]

yes

Lion, Lexington 2, Yorktown 2, Plymouth, Aurora, William D. could be an interesting option assuming we can get the marks to work out

[sweet delta]

Is it 8%

[whole crypt]

stiggy is the Lion variant locked to Traf for AA debuff since I see it's Yorktown being dropped

[undone plover]

is porter just 10% EU buff + flag?
or did she do other stuff?

[sweet delta]

And 5% all

[hollow gust]

Skill 2 gives 5% more damage taken

[undone plover]

oh so she is 15% total for EU fleet?
that is nice

assuming i did not misremember how modifiers stack which i probably did

[sweet delta]

15.5%

[timid beacon]

I’m srry it’s been a while so I forgot what the threats mean will it being lower mean less enemy ships to make farming easier?

[sweet delta]

For the torpedo timed portion

[undone plover]

not less, weaker

[timid beacon]

Man alright

[undone plover]

much weaker

[trail dagger]

Should be lower level enemies, and higher damage reduction

[whole crypt]

it's just taking less damage until you reach safe, when you reach safe the threat level is used to pad your level advantage too

[hard dock]

Event shop prio ?

[sweet delta]

do you have max tech except the newest ships, and max gear including 5 +13 hvarcats, and what did you change about the vanguard gear?

am i bricked if i don't have 5 +13 hvarcats

[undone plover]

rerun shop?

[whole crypt]

as far as I can tell the only tech I'm not yet done with is regens M and bogatyr

[undone plover]

soyuz gun + pamiat copy (if no drop from map/builds - save 8k tokens until event is done for this)
pamiat crystals
oil
cog arrays > chips
augment cores
rest is kinda w.e but u can get SR cat box or DR prints

[nocturne glade]

How is soyuz looking now that moskva allows you to enable nakhi without being on the same fleet?

[undone plover]

she is still a UR BB but maybe not top 3-5

[whole crypt]

didn't enhance corsair DB past +10, and yes I do have 5 +13 rocket cats

[nocturne glade]

I see, guess it wont hurt to raise her then. Ty!

[sweet delta]

who's low HP?

[undone plover]

top 4 probably Lion > meck/alsace/zwei these days

[whole crypt]

@sweet delta do you want me to test some variants with less rocketcats or less +13 rocketcats

[undone plover]

if u are low on bulins show your URs we can tell u prio
if not then yeah she is still very good and worth using

[timid beacon]

Any way to increase my chance to get sr prints drop rates I really need this one print or better way?

[nocturne glade]

Yea not a high prio atm, defo doing laffii and guam first. I'll see if I want to raise her later though

[whole crypt]

HP wise I don't think anyone was below 10% by end of fight

[sweet delta]

watatsumi would be better than drone for one

[whole crypt]

I'm just lazy to swap

[sweet delta]

10% is unsafe, who was under 20%?

[whole crypt]

I don't remember why I even put it on her

[nocturne glade]

why do you need this? and no real way to increase rates afaik

[whole crypt]

lowest is usually Aurora

[sweet delta]

you really don't need that gun

[whole crypt]

could probably be improved slightly be swapping to +13 rudder and +13 550HP

[timid beacon]

I just want something better for my nj because at the moment in using this

[sweet delta]

have you tried looking at gear guidse

[nocturne glade]

you defo do not need that gun in that case

[whole crypt]

you realize a +10 purple mk6 will do better than that gun

[timid beacon]

damn your right

[whole crypt]

you're not looking at the right number

[forest palm]

+11

[whole crypt]

it's not just about the base damage value

[timid beacon]

It has a lower FP tho but it’s still better?

Way cheaper too…

[forest palm]

higher FP means nothing when the gun functions like shit

[sweet delta]

it appears that +13 550 is, indeed, higher eHP than +13 beaver

especially if it's cyan towel

[nocturne glade]

140-110-90

[viscid swift]

considering that BBs usually end up with over 400 FP even on the lower end, a 20 FP stat difference is negligable

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

[forest palm]

also don't carelessly use gold plates, and it's +13 or nothing

[timid beacon]

Ah this one helps thanks

Anyone know where is this 5% RLD buff of Rossiya came from?

[sweet delta]

have you checked your whole fleet

[solid maple]

Buff active after i set Kearsarge in the fleet

How?

[crimson lake]

Hellooo, I got soyuz on my 126th pull. Should I keep trying to pull to get pity?

[solid maple]

Better save up for newer UR

[eternal basalt]

2 months though, depends if you want the collab

unless there some new ones, then

Join a guild those help a bit

[boreal wagon]

somehow the ship id was wrong lol

[digital hollow]

Theoretical Regenseburg META fleet?

[trim depot]

just confirming, I should mlb soyuz right

[digital hollow]

She's washed twin 🥀 but if you love her then go ahead

Okay @sweet delta thanks

[viscid swift]

not for them

[sweet delta]

I don't see how being washed is relevant given the state of their BBs

[viscid swift]

Overall, still a decent battleship, but she has been powercrept by the likes of Lion, Alsace, Bismarck Zwei, and Mecklenburg. She also has 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 with solid damage against all armor types and a good barrage, making her incredibly useful and versatile for new players. She’s a very solid pick up for newer players lacking in UR BBs, doubly so if you missed out on getting Moskva to pair with Admiral Nahkimov. **However, if you have all the aforementioned Battleships plus Moskva, her placement drops significantly as she offers little for you at that point.

[eternal basalt]

@whole crypt Incase no one else send it yet, here's ENs text
"When the battle starts, Regensburg META <color=#92fc63>inflicts 1 stack of Hunt of the Mighty</color> against the allied units with the highest <color=#92fc63>FP, TRP, AVI, EVA, and ACC.</color> Hunt of the Mighty is not applied if the stats in question are all 0. If one shipgirl possesses multiple of the highest stats, she gets inflicted with multiple stacks.\nShipgirls marked with Hunt of the Mighty <color=#92fc63>take more DMG from Regensburg META for every stack possessed</color> (the 1st stack multiplies the DMG taken by 110%; the 2nd stack and onward multiplies it by an additional 220% each). If the shipgirl with Hunt of the Mighty is in your Main Fleet, she gets inflicted with Burn and takes DMG over time (Burn DMG is not affected by Hunt of the Mighty).\nIf any stacks of Hunt of the Mighty do not get applied, or if a shipgirl marked with Hunt of the Mighty stacks sinks, those stacks get transferred to Regensburg META. For every stack of Hunt of the Mighty Regensburg META possesses, <color=#92fc63>her DMG taken decreases by 20%.</color>"

[safe nexus]

should i 125 fdg?

[sweet delta]

Depends on your rainbow BBs

[forest palm]

what's with the html

[safe nexus]

yes.

[woven star]

Anyway 2 stacks ship will get a lot of dmg. Btw I tried sus fleet where z52 was with 2 stacks in the middle between Trafalgar and Plymouth and I guess z52 anyway dyed at 15 lvl boss. Damage from boss too high. still at 13 lvl boss and my fleet survive. But not sure it's possible as for me same for 15 boss

[sweet delta]

Yes

[eternal basalt]

Lvl 12 my x3 dies pretty much instantaniously

[woven star]

X3 too high. Maximum having x2 in middle. I tried Trafalgar with x2 and this was hard

So I put beaver on z52 and replaced 1 stack from traf eva debuff to z52. And move her in middle

Z52 have max trp, Traff has AA and eva here. Plymouth with avi. Z52 have less 10 or so eva as Traff so you can swap it if u want

[stark quiver]

is this boss easy to one shot

[drifting pike]

I have seen lots of guides and people say to use beaver aux. But where does one get it?

[forest palm]

it's in mementos → collections

Beavers comes from Fletcher Class

[woven star]

wrong my bad

[stark quiver]

manjuu is the new beaver

[woven star]

still from collection but 2nd reward

[forest palm]

I think there's like 850 gems you can get from collection, so it's something worth working on as a whole

[stark quiver]

i never had the need to do those other than for manjuu and beaver

[forest palm]

Little Beaver Squadron, Yorktown Class, and Tears of Pearl Harbor have worthwhile gear

[stark quiver]

oh right

[forest palm]

there's a whole wiki page dedicated to this thing btw
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/List_of_Collections

[woven star]

Furniture collection for more exp dorn

[timid beacon]

Gascogne good?

[crude scaffold]

if my depot is almost filled even without dups do i max the stars on the grays to get the gems from them and then smelt them for scraps?

[viscid swift]

I'd reccomend buying more dock space

[crude scaffold]

less skins tho

[woven star]

Gascogne was average but with augment can be good. not sure how she is now. So important question is Gascogne augment worth?

[viscid swift]

I'll take it over not having to pause halfway through a map clear to free up dock space

[wheat ore]

is there a giude for opsi fleet building?

[crude scaffold]

well ill bear that idea in mind idk yet

[viscid swift]

how much dock space do you have

[timid beacon]

Damn I didn’t even know she had one, i asked since i got her last year and lowkey forgot abt her

[woven star]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRPJgxnXwC4r3Z8AlbzPUhHDXt0Dr7KP4TPriFnGafQrt1wE7Jb5AdRgfy8tXaLpTC-CtYAVMZgJE0g/pub i know only this

[woven star]

she's smthing like little lion. Got barrage at the beginning and every 15 sec. So... btw never saw her barrage or dmg number or patern

[crude scaffold]

the base value i think

[viscid swift]

get more then, no matter how you play 150 is not enough

[crude scaffold]

btw which channel is for team building

[wheat ore]

okay ty

[exotic sorrel]

I have

Laffey and Ayanami retrofitted + 125

[red hawk]

portland is the standard starter tank for vanguard

[exotic sorrel]

Oh okay I'll keep her temporarily then

So that makes my fleet 1 become Sandy, Ayanami, Roon then fleet 2 Laffey, Helena, San Francisco methinks

Idk for Portland lmfao I replaced her as soon as I got Roon 😭

[red hawk]

SF isn't exactly a tank

[sacred dragon]

Is it worth to limit break Lexington II if i don't have Yorktown II? Currently i am unsure if i even should invest in her over other UR's.

[wind hazel]

sf can mob tank fine

[wind hazel]

depends on what else you might have and what you want to focus on

[sacred dragon]

true.. I have bulins to spare so I am trying to limit break some and try to get levels. I am not sure which ones would help me the most.

[wheat ore]

is there a day of the month when they reset the opsi?

[river junco]

it resets at the start of every month

[wheat ore]

am i suppose to request recon for each new node that i enter? but it does end up costing quite a lot of ap

[vivid bay]

are the 10 pulls in event shop high priority if i already have the UR?

[wheat ore]

also when the auto search, i keep running into dialogue for some reason

[sweet delta]

reduce TB guidance in the game settings

[sweet delta]

waiting 30 or 40 minutes in between makes it free. Or you can pay 5000 oil after your first monthly reset to recon all explorable maps

[exotic sorrel]

I have sm going on in my fleet doing a bunch of different main fleet variations, but I think for fleet one my final composition is going to be Duke of York / Monarch / Musashi then second fleet Alabama, Unicorn, and Saratoga

[sweet delta]

i dont recommend triple BB in campaign

[exotic sorrel]

Oh

[sweet delta]

besides ACV issues, your third best carrier is likely better than your fourth best BB

[wheat ore]

so the recommended thing to do is to do 1 node and leave, come back after 30 mins?

[sweet delta]

yeah i take like 3 weeks to clear the 72 zones. Many people just pay 5000 oil and auto it all

[timid beacon]

Thanks it’s annoying when you just tryna farm and the cutscene happens

[exotic sorrel]

Hold on let me look at the Cvs I have including the underleveled ones I may use in the future

[wheat ore]

isn't this the lowest settings i can have?

[sweet delta]

depends on what you want to do

if you have time to check the screen every few minutes, i don't recommend continuing past mysterious merchants though

[wheat ore]

wait what setting do i need to toggle for the dialogue to go away?

[wheat ore]

ah okay

[sweet delta]

game settings, not opsi settings

[wheat ore]

ahh i see ty

is it not good to auto use items or default to auto mode?

[exotic sorrel]

Enterprise, Saratoga (Retro), Illustrious, Ranger (Retro), Unicorn (Retrofit), Ark Royal, Graf Zeppelin, Shangri-La, Ryuuhou, Independence and Impero

Oh wait I think I know a fleet composition

Musashi / Saratoga / Enterprise

Monarch / Unicorn / Illustrious

[undone plover]

which limited guild ships have retrofits? besides chao ho

[vale spindle]

the cn dds

there's quite a few blue dds that have em too

[sweet delta]

i don't see CN/DE DDs in limited

but neither is chao ho in limited

[spark girder]

is there some sort of optimal order to do these war achives? i havent done a single one 💔

[sweet delta]

the optimal order is to skip them unless you have good reason like faction tech points, early oil cap access, or collection

and hvarcats

[spark girder]

ah

[spark girder]

what is this?

[sweet delta]

if you're under chapter 9 in campaign, check Passionate polaris or Universe in Unison SP5 for oil cap

hvarcats drop from Parallel Superimposition and are the premier fighter against light armor bosses

the best fleets against Regensburg META showdown can use 5 hvarcats

[spark girder]

ooooh okay okay ill try to get those then

[stoic basalt]

against BB arbiter, on amagi CV which one would be better for the middle slot

[sweet delta]

the problem is that gold gear drop rates are quite low, expect to run D3 100 to 200 times for a single copy of hvarcat (or other gold gear)

[spark girder]

oh wow yeah that sucks

[sweet delta]

xsb3c isn't even mentioned 🥀
even the best dive bomber against heavy, Tenrai, is worse than gold converging TBs that hit

and amagicv has another 15% buff in favor of the vit2

[cobalt gate]

stage that drop hvar is permanent now?

[stoic basalt]

idkman i was checking the azurlane community guide and apart from the rainbows which i dont own it listed those guys as alternatives :)

[sweet delta]

the problem is that

1. it's for campaign only
2. it's for general use
3. it's for easy campaign general use
4. it's outdated for 6 months (ships) or even longer (gear)
5. it's unmaintained now

I don't have Kearsange fully MLB yet , but is she needed to pair with York 2 / Lex 2 ? Can i replace her with Lion for Regen meta ?

[viscid swift]

You can

[flint arrow]

Are these augment modules resources worth to farm for? Ive never ran out of these yet, but idk if experienced players do

[soft raft]

Realistically there's no reason for most veterans to make many of the unique ones.

I've had no need to buy from event shops to make the purple ones, but at the same time they did front load you with resources when they were first introduced so ig for you, it's fine once you've got all the higher prio stuff

[flint arrow]

are uniques worse than the purples? harder to enhance?

[forest palm]

the amount of useful ships with useful UEs is small in comparison to useless ships with ok-ish UEs

[sweet delta]

are you not an experienced player?

[flint arrow]

me? not really, ive played the game on and off for years but mostly just collecting them girls and skipping a lot of the systems lol

especially in the last 3 years or so

hmm i bought the tickets, gun, coins, oil and arrays and chips. will spend the rest on these ig

[fleet marten]

Good morning gph, may I ask if I am wrong that Musashi is bugged right? Specifically the barrage? Considering I can only see a Visual Bug but the Barrage still goes through?

[viscid swift]

what bug

[fleet marten]

Like I heard here before in gph, especially during the release of World 16, that Musashi doesn't fire properly, or so I seem to understand, so I thought it correlates to what I see like the Visual bug that occurs when there is a sudden pause / interruption

[viscid swift]

they meant the boss in 16-4

[fleet marten]

Alright then, I thought it correlates to our Musashi, thanks for the correction

Waited a bit to ask what UR I should focus on next, don't have Sovetsy Soyuz luck has been awful 150 pulls I think (including all the free ones up to this point still don't have her ): I think I might have to pity her ):

[forest palm]

there was 2 in 1 minute before

[sweet delta]

Max WDP and Soyuz
Max Yorkii for META showdown
What gamemode do you struggle with?
You should still get Soyuz for her crossfleet.

[ember patrol]

I'm fine with all the gamemodes actually lol. Just want to work on a UR lol. Only thing I haven't done really is the latest campaign chapter but I'm avoiding it for now

[viscid swift]

I would reccomend reading this

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

[ember patrol]

Guess I don't have the ability to one shot anything In OpSi but that doesn't really bother me

[viscid swift]

that would be more down to an issue with gear, tech, cats, etc

also if you managed W15, you'll manage W16 just fine

[ember patrol]

I doubt it, don't even remember how I managed w15 not 3 starred either

Don't even remember the fleets I used lol

[sweet delta]

i think clearing without 3 starring may be easier in 16 than 15

[viscid swift]

just give that a read
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-16-fleets

[cobalt robin]

who should i mlb? i can buy 2 more bullins

[viscid swift]

might wanna give that a read

[cobalt robin]

since regen M is light ill go for yk2 then

[hollow gust]

you cant just use yorktown 2 without the correct planes...

[cobalt robin]

which i have

[hollow gust]

[cobalt robin]

we talking abt rocketcat? i have 4

[hollow gust]

you realize for the current top yorktown comp you need to invest in 5+13 Hvars, a +13 Skyraider and a VBF-94

your kearsarge isnt even Dev30, for most of the playerbase just use ur BBs for regends

[cobalt robin]

she will be d30 soon and if i really cant clear with uss fleet i can just keep doing it with my bb fleet

[hollow gust]

[stark quiver]

your bbs are oathed 125

but then again im 99% sure you arent gonna one shot so it wont matter

[cobalt robin]

if i can i wanna use the uss fleet instead

[stark quiver]

go ahead if you dont mind mlbing better units later

[cobalt robin]

i like yk2 and i still will have enough bullins for the next ur

[stark quiver]

then yeah go for it if you like her

[hollow gust]

you can go for whoever you like, but the response would always be you are too broke to effetively use eagle for single target. There are better choices for most poeple

[stark quiver]

The better option wont make a difference tbh so

[cobalt robin]

what would the better mlb option even be? moskva?

[exotic sorrel]

What makes triple BB not recommended for campaign is it because of the lack of fighters

[forest palm]

no defense against enemy planes

[atomic abyss]

Lack of planes in general is bad
They're better at clearing multiple targets
They kill other planes well
Airspace control becomes very important later on as the buffs or debuffs become significant

[exotic sorrel]

Ohhh okay i get it now thanks

[soft raft]

Vanguard AA isn't really gonna be enough to make up for the loss, and technically a BB's AA stat is actually towards reducing crash damage from enemy planes, so they don't contribute towards actual AA outside of the averaged out AA reload time

[atomic abyss]

Clearly we need vestal augment that gives her a BB gun

[exotic sorrel]

Does this mean it's better to give my BBs an anti air gun that gives FP stat

[atomic abyss]

Possible
Though usually it's better to give one that gives HIT stat instead
Like the STAAG or hazemeyer

[exotic sorrel]

Ohh alright makes sense

[soft raft]

You mainly only do the FP AA in some META fights

cuz that small smidge of FP realistically means less than HIT for BBs in the majority of scenarios where they have hundreds of FP stat compared to rarely getting past 80 HIT by default
