[tulip tinsel]

what indep is not in guild shop

[soft raft]

She's in Core Data not Guild

[winter hare]

is it worth the data for her?

[soft raft]

Yes

[winter hare]

i got 1900 rn

and how do you get more of them?

[soft raft]

grinding hard mode stages

[winter hare]

Thanks agian for the help yall, its been Helpful!!!

[hollow gust]

She was good for a few months and then dropped

Even when she was good she was side grade

[spring wing]

I'd still get Independence retro before Colorado Retro but rn you need to focus on Unicorn. Yeah mb I get the core data shop and guild shop mixed up.

[winter hare]

gotcha, ill make that my prio for now.

Thanks agian!

[crisp vigil]

Is there a quick way to level it fast ,? Because I am spamming for 2 hours now and only filled 17%

[atomic abyss]

it's meant to be slow lol

[crisp vigil]

Oh

[atomic abyss]

esp if you're not grinding like

w12

[strong tartan]

even if it went by fast you'll be spending most of that time accumulating blueprints for the ship

[flint arrow]

farmed 2.4m for golden leeuw in a day and wont use her for who knows how many months 🤣

[white agate]

i am still in rld tech hell

[arctic aspen]

[hollow hollow]

jesus christ, W15 is absurd

[viscid swift]

hardly, it's been out for almost 2.5 years at this point

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide
https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/

might wanna give those resources a look

[turbid marsh]

Just need the right ships and equips and u ll be soaring through em dw u got this

[hollow hollow]

I forgot i leveld volga for this

[flat pelican]

is regens meta light armor or heavy armor? so i know whether to equip he or ap gear

[hollow gust]

It's stupidly easy now

[soft raft]

META bosses have the same armor type as their playable counterparts

So to say, she's light armor

[hollow hollow]

I'm stuck on 15-3

[viscid swift]

just read the guides

[hollow gust]

Then it's a fleet comp skill issue , the last 2 and a half ships have release some of the best ships ever , hell unicorn has been getting replaced nowadays

[hollow hollow]

NJ or Vang for bossing

[viscid swift]

NJ I guess

[hollow gust]

Well that explains some of it

[soft raft]

Vang's gimmick is pretty much worthless in campaign

[hollow hollow]

hang on, let me put up what i WAS using

[hollow gust]

50 dollars that it's 2020 relics

[hollow hollow]

is there an up-to-date fleet builder thing? this one apparently doesn't have half my stuff

[viscid swift]

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

[hollow hollow]

danke

https://mrlar.dev/s/fc0b0f4076233f8f61cff811508896cf80385a81
mob

[viscid swift]

I mean you have practically no AA in that fleet

all equipped with bad AA guns

[viscid swift]

you definitely need to give all of these a look

[hollow gust]

yeesh

[hollow hollow]

https://mrlar.dev/s/fdc695f698b8ea51390600211c3198cd01f0806f
boss

[viscid swift]

similarly shoddy

you effectively tied one arm behind your back trying to do W15 with these fleets and gear loadouts

[hollow gust]

Shima in this ecoomy

[hollow hollow]

i've got 2 sextup bofors, 8 stags, 8 twin 40 haz, 3 twin 90mm, 1 quad 30mm

[hollow gust]

lets just say everything needs a fix, NJ is the least fucked and she still has problems; epecially that aux gun

[viscid swift]

I reiterate, look at these guides

if you need to wait to craft better and gear and level up better ships so be it

[hollow hollow]

I do have better gear, I think. I'm reviewing the guide rn

[viscid swift]

I don't even wanna know what the support fleet looks like

[hollow hollow]

lusty, lusty u, indom, all oathed, 125, gold fw +10 and cuda for stats, 2x steam pults +10

[viscid swift]

That's about the only thing in this lineup that's acceptable.

[hollow hollow]

the other bis ships for it aren't at 125 or even ready to fight, since i planned those 3 and trained them up specifically for the roles

[viscid swift]

then I would reccomend waiting to get said ships leveled up, W15 and W16 aren't going anywhere

[hollow hollow]

nyak is stalled, implac will take time is all

same with york 2

[viscid swift]

I meant for your main fleets

improving the support fleet is a relatively low priority for now

[timid beacon]

Is this skill worth getting

Also any way to get this or do I actually have to wait

[viscid swift]

you have to wait for it to rerun

[frank plaza]

What is the best way to farm ships, coins and gear without losing affinity

[viscid swift]

the latter OpSi I guess

the first 2 though aren't happening without affinity loss

[timid beacon]

Cheeky which W12 node was the one that was good for coins?

[stark quiver]

12-4

[frank plaza]

Ok thanks

[wind hazel]

cog drops from ch16, if anyone is interested. seems like same as ch15 from what i gathered

[white agate]

would need a 100 campion set i think?

[wind hazel]

huh

[soft raft]

That skill lets her sync with BBs that are using HSFCR by equipping SG Radar

Ideally you should also be getting every node done anyways
the only one you never really want to touch is the main fleet/vanguard mode toggle for the DDGs because there's basically no reason to run them over traditional backliners

[slow fox]

erm #media-content

[whole crypt]

more like was that video even necessary it's just the template

[wind hazel]

lost your content creator tag

[stark quiver]

it wasnt, like most of the messages here anyways

[wind hazel]

real

[sharp furnace]

are the rates awful or is my luck awful, been trying to farm this, done 70 war archives runs for 10 mats? only have 3 copies, going for 5

[stark quiver]

rates are terrible

[sharp furnace]

it felt easier to get during event

[wind hazel]

70 for 10 is considered good lol

[viscid swift]

Which event?

[sharp furnace]

i think it was the Parallel Superimposition event

[sweet delta]

100 for 15 is average

if you're committed to farming it, then remember to use double plans for effectively 8 runs per day

[sharp furnace]

ah going to take me couple of months to get 2 copies with collecting archive tickets, thanks a lot

[stark quiver]

thats the hope and dream yes

[winter hare]

Months??

Good lord how slow is this games progression

[stark quiver]

kinda slow if you want specific equipment

[uneven cave]

this is minmax gear grind we're talking about

[winter hare]

Ahhh

[uneven cave]

if you don't want to do that, go slap on some rocket bf109

[sharp furnace]

well i was able to craft 2 full copies during event which took my like 2 weeks, i'm hoping another Parallel Superimposition event comes soon

but i used saved/stored oil

[north gorge]

we had drops in the Lex II event, so it will probably rerun during that, but if you only need 2 copies you'll get them from WA before that rerun

[stark quiver]

i farmed 5 with the shitty rates

not in archive but yk

[uneven cave]

shouldn't you have 3 for free from shop

[wind hazel]

use lion, minus some hvar requirement

[north gorge]

HVARs were in shop?

[wind hazel]

it was for york2 event. not for lexii

[north gorge]

ah

[wind hazel]

it was also nerfed a bit during rerun? i think according to cn wiki it wasn't

[stark quiver]

que
i farmed 4 +1 shop during york2 rerun

[viscid swift]

You do know for the OG run of that event the rates were bugged to be higher than intended right?

[sharp furnace]

actually i farmed them in Lex2 event, not York2 event since i didn't play back then

so i wouldn't know

[spark girder]

what are desynced ships?

[inner delta]

you mean the shot/launch time for cv/bb?

so they aren't sync shooting or launching plane

[spark girder]

ahh

[spark girder]

and those ships are preferable for mobs?

[inner delta]

yes, so you dont just dump everything at once because mob spawn is staggered

[spark girder]

okay, so looking at my unicorn, both of my planes have the same second/wave, so that means she is synced?

[inner delta]

no i mean between ship

1 ship will launch everything and that cant be staggered

if you using 2/3 of the same hull

[spark girder]

hull?

[inner delta]

uh 2-3 cv

or 2-3 bb

[spark girder]

okay oklay, so in the google doc tierlist, i saw independence's note saying "buffs carriers but desynced"

so waht that really mean..

[inner delta]

wait that's uh wait

[wind hazel]

this is a desycned fleet example

[inner delta]

yes, that

the 2 cv launch at a different times

[spark girder]

oooh okay

[wind hazel]

independence has load reduction so she will launch earlier than most CV/L

so natural desync ship that will help you stagger your fleet

[spark girder]

ahh okay, and this load reduction comes from what?

[inner delta]

[timid beacon]

I’m conflicted so like is Perseus just not good anymore

[wind hazel]

unicorn is better

[timid beacon]

Yeah but I’m looking for a secondary healer and I’m not sure if I should use my stuff on Aquila

For my second fleet primarily

[wind hazel]

perseus isnt a secondary healer

she like unicorn is a primary healer. aquila would be good, cowpens would be better for a secondary healer

but also second fleet doesn't really need a healer. it's usually your bossing fleet, and boss fleet doesn't require healing unless for some specific content

[timid beacon]

Ah alright

I’m just trying to see what route to take since I’m trying to get fleet tech points since I’m trying to get Plymouth but thanks I will look into Aquila

[wind hazel]

if you're fine with just sticking around w12 for months to come then sure going for perseus to help you reach plymouth faster is an option

aquila is better if you wanna push campaign beyond w13, but if you are not then it's pointless choosing aquila

[timid beacon]

I mean I might have to since I’m at W11 and stage 4 and I’ve been crawling my way since I want to farm 12-1

[wind hazel]

you can clear it without any of those ships dont worry

[rain timber]

Is 12-1 significantly better to farm than 11-4? Farming for balanced gold/XP

[timid beacon]

I’m sure I mean the guide mentioned it’s better

Since you get can cognitive chips I believe?

I’m not sure but I’m doing it for the coins lol

[forest palm]

ya, world 11 kind of gets shunted because cog chips drop in world 12 and have a high relevance

[wind hazel]

it's easier, and give you cog chips. gold wise 11-4 is still better, but it's also much harder to clear

[forest palm]

also world 11 is kind of a pain to raise ships compared to 12

[timid beacon]

12-1 it is.. I feel like I’ll die at 12-1 but idk I’ll see

I don’t have a boss fleet at all and not sure how important that is

[wind hazel]

clearing 11-4 is much harder than clearing 12-1...

[forest palm]

if you have good planes on your Carriers (a hellcat is enough) you'll be fine

[wind hazel]

you should have been working on your 2nd fleet

[timid beacon]

Yea I got a flapjack on uni 💔

[rain timber]

My 11-4 is at Safe while 12-1 is at Lethal. So I need to lower that threat level to make 12-1 actually easier I reckon?

[wind hazel]

by design 12-1 is already easier due to the enemy system

there's no suicide boat there, and the planes are pretty shitty

[timid beacon]

I mean I have sort of but it’s incomplete still

[timid beacon]

Alright that’s nice very nice

Here’s my current fleet my gear is.. up to date sort of

[wind hazel]

you should raise your 2nd fleet properly before tackling the end of w11

[viscid swift]

Why is almost everything maxed out

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 or you can just try mono fleeting with this

[forest palm]

a fleet like that should stomp the shit out of 12-1....

[rain timber]

-# Why the pregnant man emoji 😭

[wind hazel]

it's my favourite emoji

[timid beacon]

What’s wrong tho

[forest palm]

gear choice?

[timid beacon]

For

[viscid swift]

I would have expected ships you're leveling for the 2nd fleet to have been rotated in

[wind hazel]

what do you have on 2nd fleet

[timid beacon]

This is just for cross fleet

[wind hazel]

raise more ships. kick off uvh implacable, put in good ships that you should be raising. move musashi to mob to level her up faster too. put nj 2nd fleet

you should have alot of exp books from your multiple lv110+ ships, it shouldn't be an issue to invest in new ships

[viscid swift]

Why tf hasn't Musashi been rotated in for NJ

[wind hazel]

because NJ waifu

i can tell by the skin and mlb status no cap

[timid beacon]

True and my Musashi is no where near as strong as my NJ currently

[wind hazel]

ye because she's underleveled

[viscid swift]

It's good enough to start farming levels in 11-1

[wind hazel]

she doesnt even need to be equal level to be stronger than NJ, sadly

[timid beacon]

😭😭😭 nooo

NJ is so great such a shame she isn’t as good as people say she was before…

[wind hazel]

yes it's about time for you to learn that NJ is kinda trash in UR ranking

[wicked dove]

Hi, if i do higher stage hard levels does it increase drop chance of retro blueprints?

[wind hazel]

not really, we dont exactly know, but higher stage is more core data

[viscid swift]

Who gives a shot about that right now, the main thing is massive amounts of XP is being wasted on what is a desperately needed 2nd fleet

[wicked dove]

Alr, just wondering cuz gold blueprints are unobtainable lol

[wind hazel]

they are somewhat uncommon drops. be sure to pay attention to guild shop as they sell it sometimes

[timid beacon]

Alright I’ll get to work on my musashi more, I’ve been too attached to NJ and I’ll swap some other ships I got too

[viscid swift]

and swap someone out for Roon as well

[solar lily]

whats the use cases for the HVAR plane and LA-9

[timid beacon]

Even if it’s Zara?

[trail dagger]

HVAR Hellcat is for light armor, LA-9 is for medium armor bosses

[wind hazel]

show me your entire dock. put it in a thread, it's faster. or you wanna read a guide?

[soft raft]

Anti-light and Anti-Medium respectively

And exclusively in OpSi because rocket fighters lack passive interception

[viscid swift]

better to get levels on a ship than not

[wind hazel]

la9 is best fighter for med and heavy. why do you guys always forget about heavy 😭

[timid beacon]

No please no more guides cheeky made me read a lot but I clearly haven’t read enough

[viscid swift]

I mean all of this is all explained in the progression guide

[sweet delta]

damn did i commit a grave mistake by using them outside opsi

[trail dagger]

Oh wow, thought only tb that deal dmg agaisnt heavy

[wind hazel]

yes mod will kill you for using la9 in campaign

[timid beacon]

My poor dock

[wind hazel]

that's when your cv has a flex slot

if you use nakhimov, for example, you cannot change her fighter slot. what are you gonna do, shove a TB in it? lol

[timid beacon]

Alright I did

[visual blaze]

is there a general team i can use for world 12 or is it different for each one?

[sweet delta]

yes you can use any general fleet for 12 because 12 is easy enough to be considered as general content

[stoic ermine]

but get some upgraded aa guns

[sweet delta]

but if your ships or fleet is too bad then youll need higher levels or better gear to make up for it

[visual blaze]

i do have most of my ships at 125 (ive been avoiding the campaign for at least a year)

thanks 👍

[spark patio]

is this good for Regensburg meta?

or should i do 3BBs?

[wind hazel]

this look giga trash

[scarlet cosmos]

which timestop ship is best?

[wind hazel]

lexii and nakhimov

[whole crypt]

the one that fits your comp

[spark patio]

aight bro

[late flame]

check pins or the video posted by suchi

[spark patio]

look like meta is not for me at this point

[inner delta]

you dont need to 1 shot it

[grizzled sundial]

i replaced Kear with Lion , unfortunately i am not at full RN tech , nor Vanguard equipments is lv 13 . can not get pass 140k damage threshold :/

[atomic abyss]

the average player should aim to 2HKO metas

that's enough

[spark patio]

what is 2HKO? i dont get it

[whole crypt]

2 hit KO

average is probably going to be closer to 3 for this one

[late flame]

or do one try then send help

[spark patio]

i could only do 350k per try

[atomic abyss]

if you're new

that's normal

[late flame]

To get most of my hvarcats to +13 i actually scrapped 2 x wyverns(+13) lol

-# i mean i got 4 more of them at +10 anyways...

[crystal ore]

I already retrofit portland and uni. So i have sandi, helena, sagatora and laffey who should I retrofit next?

[atomic abyss]

independence

[solar lily]

is this thing still worth crafting

[onyx flame]

If you dont have at least 1 yes

In fact its prob the first ur gear that should be made still iirc

[late flame]

spearfish may be slightly better, but uses waaay too* much resources for my liking

[onyx flame]

Wasnt it the same ish but lacks passive intercept

[wind hazel]

idk

been playing for more than 6 years but i have no idea how rare those opsi shit actually is. which one is rarer?

[onyx flame]

9 ordiance feels rarers than 9 ur plane planes

[rapid shard]

If your not need the gold ords it isnt too bad to get the rainbow ones compared to the plane ones

[onyx flame]

~~But how will i make my 500 flapjacks ~~

[autumn pier]

assuming i have all available ships, both buildable and PR, who should i put in the meta boss fleet if equipment is not a problem?

[inner delta]

Pin have all the setup

Multiple fleet option too

[autumn pier]

Ahh, i see it thanks

[autumn pier]

another question, whats the best sub fleet for general use? currently im using wolfpack with the recommended equipment from the guide

[kind olive]

Any gear recommendation and lineup for I-404?

[woven star]

Fishpack fleet + i-404. Gear set can't say. Standard sub ig

[kind olive]

what's fishpack fleet? sorry I only know IB's wolfgang

[atomic abyss]

Flasher and archerfish

[woven star]

Archerfish + Flasher EU subs

[silent bluff]

Are the ijns worth getting?

[zenith heron]

Which IJN's are you talking about, if you are talking about starters or progressive ships within the IJN Faction, Kazagumo and Izumo are good to get

Edit: Kazagumo is what I am sure, unsure about Izumo

[kind olive]

aite.. ty @woven star @atomic abyss

[whole crypt]

Izumo is going to be a slight mess to unlock early on and needs her augment

[kind olive]

uh-oh. Haven't build both

[whole crypt]

if you're coming to a point where you want subs then yes

will probably be easier to dorm/XPpack them to 100+, secretary for affinity then just auto summom when you grind

[hollow depot]

guys any guide for operation siren

[hot flare]

currently my WDP is getting two debuffs for meta, and i believe that its because of the ACC stat. How do people manage to make Aurora have the ACC debuff

[wind hazel]

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

[north gorge]

You can lower DD hit tech if you need to

[hollow plank]

how to have little friedrich moral go back up? she is already sad but i can't seem to add her on the dorm or train? thank you!

[agile pewter]

Are retrofit difficult to get as a new player? I see that the beginner guide has some that should be done asap but I don't have the mats

[kind olive]

buy her ice cream no instant way bro. u need to let her rest. iirc 8h so that it back full... could be wrong. google might know

[wind hazel]

not difficult, just time consuming. you wanna be picky on who you retrofit early on

shipyard development also consume gold retro blueprints so it will be divided even more later

[woven star]

You can swap augment on swords if hummer to lower acc. And there's few aux for acc for Aurora

[onyx flame]

trusty sg radar

[light trail]

what's the IJN cv heavy fleet mentioned in suchiguma's moskva video

is it nya/amagi/hakuhou?

[onyx flame]

Amagi cv/shinano/hakuhou which ever combo it is among those 3

[wind hazel]

yes

[light trail]

tyty

in the light fleet at the bottom, who can sub in for aurora? trafalgar taken in top BB fleet so cant use her

(i dont have aurora)

does kazagumo work?

[late flame]

Kazagumo more useful for ijn

[onyx flame]

Nop ara doesnt stack with kearsarge

[wind hazel]

no good replacement, maybe if you wanna cope with uh, bristol, but i'd just use helena

[light trail]

oh that's right

[onyx flame]

Or run some shiny dps

[light trail]

maybe i can run traf there instead of top bb and replace her more effectively in the BB fleet?

would that work with anyone

[wind hazel]

want my honest opinion? just scrap the eagle fleet. your bb fleet is more than enough

[light trail]

i have every UR if that helps

[late flame]

Traf also works better with Lion

[wind hazel]

that bb fleet will 1tap every single boss in opsi

it makes eagle fleet pointless, even more so when you need to move trafalgar around with missing aurora

[light trail]

i really wanna use it because 1. shiny new toy 2. dont wanna swap equipment all the time

[wind hazel]

you only need to swap bb fleet gear once every 3 months

in fact you can even dont swap and just use AP gun during temperance month

[light trail]

it's for opsi, i dont need super optimal i just wanna crush them in a more fun way for me rn

[wind hazel]

... then use your waifu

you're making super meta fleet, but you wanna make it fun. that doesnt sound right

[light trail]

asking for ideas of best compromises. not really my fault i dont have aurora yet even after all this time but i still want to have fun playing a game

[wind hazel]

use helena bb fleet. put trafalgar in your eagle

[light trail]

thanks

mmm if a ship isn't max mlb and it's at its max level, does any experience goes to ship research?

[late flame]

/prgrind

[odd root]

Does __ count for Shipyard Combat Data Collection EXP?

Yes

• Combat in Main Campaign, Events, Operation Siren
• Ships that are level capped for any reason, if the EXP otherwise would count. Even if you see +0.
• Muse (µ) ships and loli ships, if the faction matches.
• Use faction filters in Dock to double check.

No

• EXP from Exercise, Dorm, EXP Data Packs, Commissions.
• META ships. They are META faction, not the faction of their normal counterparts.

[onyx flame]

Should but your wasting exp

[strong tartan]

what gears did the doa collab have

[iron berry]

I was getting northern parliament exp through tashkent muse, since she was the third highest level vanguard I had. But I don't know if it is worth to max mlb her or just wait to have bullins and exp for Ovgenoy, for example

[woven star]

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

[iron berry]

Maybe I will even if only for tech

[crystal ore]

Oh. I thought he mean it depend on who I want

Also should I get independence?

[onyx flame]

But muse ships dont give lvl 120 tech?

[iron berry]

Naniiii

[late flame]

Muse ships does not give tech

[iron berry]

Well at least I hope they give faction exp

At least until I can change her

[strong tartan]

wrong collab page but I'll just navigate to it using the link thanks

[late flame]

DoA vs DaL kek

Oh, well, fuck me. I will need to fight her eventually, then. Time to suffer.

[iron berry]

Hi, can I make a decent sub team with those?

[strange flame]

what fleet yalls runnin to kill the meta boss fast -_-

my middle keeps dying so fast

[north gorge]

there's a document about fleets in the pins here

[atomic abyss]

Check the pinned message

[atomic abyss]

No

[rotund narwhal]

Does aurora even have a retrofit

[flint arrow]

no

[rotund narwhal]

okay

[atomic abyss]

Doesnt need one

[rotund narwhal]

Cant say anything about that though

[exotic wren]

Opsi again

[exotic sorrel]

I have an aurora too I'm somewhat confused on why she's good

Would assume it's the auto reduced eva on enemies

[late flame]

read her skills 🙂

[stable badger]

does this work with META queen liz?

[late flame]

iirc yes

[leaden turret]

Is there any way to restore little friedrich's morale?

[wind hazel]

if still npc, no

but i suggest to not use her at all

[tiny apex]

does al have a designated calendar where particular events with particular priority where maybe new important ships come out or whatever happen in those periods or they do things when they feel like ?

[leaden turret]

So just use by putting her in a fleet then use the other fleet to kill all enemies?

[mystic acorn]

does the royal navy shell also work on meta royal navy?

[wind hazel]

we get chinese ships on lunar new year event, UR every 3 months apart, japan anniversary has always been IJN ship, i think that's about it

[wind hazel]

no, dont waste your exp using her. raise other ship instead

[tiny apex]

does the last rerun count as a one of those every 3 month ?

[wind hazel]

no

[tiny apex]

and if no how much has it been since the last one ?

[wind hazel]

new UR every 3 months*

it's usually feb, may, september, december

reruns in between

[tiny apex]

oki thanks for info

[hollow gust]

That shit barley works on actual royal navy ships , it's a scam of a purchase

[mystic acorn]

true but i just want Royal Navy BB to have it regardless

[late flame]

<@&472236072743600148>

[wind hazel]

💀 round 2

[hollow gust]

[solar lily]

is this the yellow and blue shell

[hollow gust]

The yellow shell that looks like a pencil is a fucking scam, even for royal navy ships it can be weaker then white shell

[solar lily]

tragic

idk it works fine enough on Lion for me

[hollow gust]

[solar lily]

Then again her sheer raw power just offsets any shortcomings the yellow shell had

[hollow gust]

It not that it’s shit, it’s a scam cause you can literally invest in a white shell that performs just as well

Not to mention a white shell isn’t locked to HMS ships

[hard dock]

What are the chances of getting mysterious merchant in a secured zone

Can I farm AP boxes with that or bad idea

[viscid swift]

[hard dock]

"Start with at least 1000 AP"

[safe nexus]

is achorage worth it to 125?

[atomic abyss]

yes

not extremely high prio tho

prio backliners to 125 first

[safe nexus]

I have these, so do I really need? I just want to make sure she still got a use even when I get better ships

[atomic abyss]

given that the only thing in that list remotely close to anchorage in tankiness is laffey 2, yes

[safe nexus]

Oh that good, OK got it thx

[atomic abyss]

she's one of the best tanks in the game

[flint arrow]

are the levle 50/60/70 etc worth it?

with cubes and stuff... im tempted cuz they include chips

[undone plover]

not really
depends what your aim is ofc
some whales buy all sources of chips for example

but do u even get enough for 1 ship?

[crude jetty]

Now that YK2 event is archived is that the best one to farm since HVAR hellcats

[undone plover]

it is the only way to get it so by that virtue it is the best method
just be careful the rates are really low
sth like 14 BP per 100 runs

[flint arrow]

what does the "enemy dd/cl only" mean in here on the tier list?

[wind hazel]

her skill only affect enemy destroyers or light cruisers

[undone plover]

it should take you 45 days of WA farming per HVAR
half of that if u use HELP tickets

[dusk maple]

anyone got good non-UR ships fleets for opsi? I wanna free up my URs

[wind hazel]

for what, mob?

[dusk maple]

all 4

[wind hazel]

[atomic abyss]

i smell cooking here

i was gonna say BB fleet with georgia

but how tf am i supposed to get the slow

was there a vanguard with that potent a slow?
momo/kurumi??

CV is pretty straightforward at least

[dusk maple]

roon muse, helmet can sync with 457 and macklen gun

[atomic abyss]

augment georgia oumi and sth else ig

[rotund narwhal]

what is a BM

[atomic abyss]

battle monitor
imagine a DD with a BB gun
they are just as frail

their guns are shit, their cost is low, their barrarge is decent

[rotund narwhal]

oh so it's the monitor

[atomic abyss]

yeah

[rotund narwhal]

like erebus or shit like that

[wind hazel]

i leave 4th fleet for your waifu or crossfleet

also i input 2 anchorage for some reason

[atomic abyss]

georgia prolly wants slow unless you know the boss isnt moving much

but yeah that looks about right

[wind hazel]

monarch aug has slow

no

I know there's a picture that ranks all gear and it gets updated every now and then, but I would assume not all CL's want the UR DD gun for example. There are differences in each ship's preferences

Only example of that I can think of atm is the UR quintuple mag torp being ranked above the gold quad mag torp

[atomic abyss]

quick gear guide is prolly the best

[viscid swift]

not as much as you think because

[undone plover]

formi rng ftw

[paper mural]

I know at least a while back, there were for example BB's that rely on barrage damage and BB's that rely on main gun damage. At least relatively. And depending on which of these types a BB is, they would want a different main gun

If that has changed over time, then all the more convenient I guess

[viscid swift]

that was arguably never the case

and in hindsight we were foolish to ever try and accomidate ECTL's way of thinking

[rotund narwhal]

What is this

[atomic abyss]

eh

cheeky that thinking of barrage gun predates ECTL

it was around as long as pre-EN days

[rotund narwhal]

Is this a fleet composition calculator

[viscid swift]

no

[wind hazel]

fleet template for a specific request

[whole crypt]

barrage guns were sort of a thing because in the days of yore hood with no viable FP aux and no augments existed

we kind of moved on from that for quite a while now

"barrage guns" are only better nowadays if you're overkilling and want to kill even faster

[flint arrow]

are exercises bugged? every day around this time it already shows as 5 exercises available but it doesnt actually let me do them until like 2- 3 hours from now

[viscid swift]

what

[flint arrow]

like the game shows 5/10 exercises available, but when i actually choose an opponent it says reached limit

[viscid swift]

have you tried retarting the game?

[flint arrow]

ok restarting just made it to 0/10 ig that makes sense

[mint sedge]

Hey! Remember my fleet that looks heavy? I want to make it for heavy bosses.
Nyakhimov, Sovetsky, ?
Moskva, Resenbur Meta, Ozornoy
I found Chkalov in my dock. His skill 2 does increased damage to medium/heavy armor. Would that work for my idea? I'm ignoring the meta and making something more functional—waifu fanservice—heavy appearance

[viscid swift]

I mean

at that point it's a case of if it works it works

like, the fleet won't be one shotting anything relevant

it may or may not be fine against abyssals and stuff

can't say for certain since I've never used that combo so it's just a case of try and see what happens

[mint sedge]

As I mentioned before, I don't want to one-shot them since I've already cleared heavy bosses, but sometimes I forget to change my gear XD, and that way I have this fleet ready for when they're heavy bosses. I think I already mentioned that, so let's get out of the one-shot mindset, I'd clear them, right?

[viscid swift]

when I say one shot I mean meta fights

because for just about everything else you can't really 2 shot since you have one chance to kill

[mint sedge]

But I already do that. My Ops Siren is clean; I beat Resenburg Meta in one try, except in World Boss Lits... By the way, does she have more health there or something? At level 15, she's always stuck with 3 bars.
I just want to use more ships and not get stuck on the same ones.

[viscid swift]

no

and for now the support barrage ain't active

[mint sedge]

thx again! I'll try Chkalov

[wary gazelle]

What's better to craft first, a Flapjack or a Wyvern?
I have Percy and Yuni in my fleet, both with Wyverns. Yuni has a Flapjack, it's the only one.

[atomic abyss]

wyvern

[wary gazelle]

Thanks

in proto shop not everything refreshes right?

the weapon prints wont refresh correct?

[soft raft]

Only the UR weapon BPs dont refresh

[flint arrow]

i want more plymouth guns

[woven star]

Gear lab

[rain timber]

Guys, I'm having some trouble in 12-1 with this fleet here. Dying to all the planes. I sometimes can clear the mob fleets but low consistency. Can anyone help me here with this? I +10'd all my AA guns but am still dying.

[soft raft]

1. You need carriers, otherwise you lack literally no passive or active interception against enemy planes, currently they are having a complete feast on your backline
2. None of your vanguards are particuarlly strong in AA
3. Warspite sucks ass

Also is this supposed to be mob or boss fleet

[viscid swift]

AA radars on all main fleets

[rain timber]

As in this? (I only have one gold)

[viscid swift]

yeah, you can use the purples if you don't have enough golds

[rain timber]

I'm kinda just leveling them so it's supposed to be mobbing

[viscid swift]

do I need to write a guide on how to farm in 12-1/12-4

[eternal basalt]

(Eugen does NO damage)

[viscid swift]

it's 12 fucking 1, I presume on safe as well

really doesn't matter

[sweet delta]

On Musashi

[sweet delta]

||Did 1 consent?||

[soft raft]

Maybe consider bringing Unicorn to babysit your fleet since ngl they clearly need her heals if 12-1 is whopping your ass

[rain timber]

-# maybe I forgor to put it on safe 💀
It's on Medium threat

[lusty gulch]

how can i improve my fleet? this is what i have so far i've been playing for 9 days

[viscid swift]

yeah that won't be helping

[soft raft]

Dont
All three of those SRs are too meh in the long term to be worth the investment, especially when you're brand new

[rain timber]

Also, 3) I thought Warspite was supposed to be pretty good compared to like random SRs??

[sweet delta]

What SR hull types are in your medal shop?

[lusty gulch]

i guess i should wait for the events then

[soft raft]

You need to retrofit her and get her unique augment to make her performance on par with NJ/UVH which is frankly too mid for the investment when NJ and UVH are on the lower end of the UR BB power scale and the fact that the top SR BBs are slightly better or on par with NJ and UVH

TLDR No she's not worth it

[lusty gulch]

i can buy 2 DD

[sweet delta]

You can buy 1 Kazagumo to replace Z23, the only problem is 70 levels difference of exp.
Buy Yukikaze later too

[rain timber]

Well it's either putting 80k on her (which I have already sunk like 50k or so) or leveling up a completely useless SR. I decided to invest in her even though she is expensive, because she is probably the best option I have.

If I could summon any SR/UR, sure, but I have to work with what I've got :<

[lusty gulch]

i have a ton of XP books thanks for the advice i'm going to get started on it right now

[sweet delta]

Note that Kazagumo needs this gun instead of fancy gold or rainbow gun https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/equips/id/11040?level=7

[rain timber]

Oh and why is it better to put the AA radars on main fleet as opposed to vanguard? Also should my best AA weapons go on main or vanguard?

[viscid swift]

I presume it's your main fleet that's dying?

and crash damage done by enemy aircraft is directly reduced by AA stat

[lusty gulch]

thank you so much for telling me the equipment in this game confuses me

[sweet delta]

AA radar is especially good on Musashi due to her skill

[soft raft]

Vanguards also have better things to put in their Aux slots than AA radars
Your vanguard also does the majority of the AA so they would get the best AA guns

[rain timber]

Yeah that was exactly the piece of info I was missing, thanks!

[digital grail]

Hi everyone, I'm a complete beginner does it matter what server I choose?

[sweet delta]

if you have friends who play, choose the same server. Otherwise the only relevant difference is the medal shop that rotates monthly randomly, and there's only 9 days left so tbh just choose any server

[stark quiver]

pvp is different

[sweet delta]

i wrote "relevant difference"

[flint arrow]

how often do we get the events where you can spam books

[ivory pawn]

Like twice a year ish for the last year or two.

[ornate heron]

I have all relevant ships, so was looking for best fleets. ty

[flint arrow]

i used 4 fleet using the "advice" button and they completed hard abiter 🤔

is this month's an easier one?

[whole crypt]

hermit is fairly straightforward

[sweet delta]

all hard arbiters are easy if you have a bunch of 125 mlb ships, including rainbows

[slim hinge]

What are the highest stats that Regensburg META debuffs you with? I've been trying adjust my gear but Trafalgar keeps getting x2 debuff.

[viscid swift]

FP, HIT, TRP, EVA, and Reload

[slim hinge]

Thanks

[zinc hornet]

traf is basically a requirement if i don't have aurora right?

[wind hazel]

realistic one shot yes

[zinc hornet]

yeah okay

i might be investing some bulins for this one

wdp, traf, and lexii

[viscid swift]

have you even got the HVARs, Skyraider, and tech to pull that off

[wind hazel]

im surprised your trafalgar isnt invested until now

[flint arrow]

Is afinity gained in opsi?

[viscid swift]

no

[zinc hornet]

i think so

[zinc hornet]

I've kinda just been coasting. i don't play a whole lot other than farming events and auto-running opsi

[zinc hornet]

i won't have the Tech to do it consistently but rng might pull through on a few occasions

[wind hazel]

you will need at least max rld to land the 4th strike

rng won't save you if you can't land the hit

[stark cipher]

man chapter 14-3 is kicking my butt, yall got any advise for proper team building

[viscid swift]

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

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

[stark cipher]

i appreciate it

[flint arrow]

Ehh thats sad. I have some ships oathed at 125lvl and below 200 affinity, hoped i could max it without oil usage

[viscid swift]

I have no idea how you managed that

[versed forum]

my 2cv keeps dying after 5-6 fights there no change even i put rudder or air radar any idea how to fix my 12-1 fleet

[flint arrow]

Well i oathed them too late

[wind hazel]

im surprised you lose. show gear loadout?

[hollow gust]

Are you farming or are those actual fleets

[versed forum]

farming

[viscid swift]

is the map down to safe? are they geared?

because otherwise I have no idea how you managed to fail with that

[ivory pawn]

Move Fancy to the center maybe?

[viscid swift]

thats not fancy

[ivory pawn]

Er, not Fancy. Whoever it is on the right.

[viscid swift]

well they said their CVs kept dying

[ivory pawn]

Are the CVs MLB?

[versed forum]

No

[wind hazel]

💀

[ivory pawn]

Cause I remember stupidly trying to farm w12 with non-MLB meta CVs thinking it'd be okay.

[viscid swift]

ah well, AA radars it is then

[wind hazel]

well use mlb ships, with proper gear

[viscid swift]

unnecessary, just run defensive auxes on the CVs

[wind hazel]

surely you have some CV that needs leveled, that are max limit broken

[versed forum]

only have Casablanca the rest blue non-lb

[wind hazel]

[ivory pawn]

Even 1-2 LB will go a long way, Glorious gets +1 fighter/+1 torp while Hiyou gets +1 torp/+1 fighter.

[viscid swift]

again, just run defensive auxes on them

[wind hazel]

$5 they will still die

[viscid swift]

like, what is this tosh that they need to be MLB

I practically only run fleets these days where the main fleet does absolutely nothing, in fact I actively make it so they don't do anything

and I run much, much shittier vanguards they still have left to level

[wind hazel]

you also have really good gear and really good crossfleets

[ivory pawn]

+near max fleet tech

[viscid swift]

they have Musashi for the cross fleet and Soyuz in the fleet itself

[wind hazel]

yeah and planes will still leak, wanna $5?

[viscid swift]

even if she's still 0 limit break her barrage is more than enough to kill

[viscid swift]

who cares if the planes leak, you run AA radars on the CVs and you just shrug the damage off

I'll raise you tenfold infact

[wind hazel]

@versed forum update us in 10mins

[viscid swift]

and yes, I have run 0 plenty of 0 limit break CVs in my time through 12-1

[versed forum]

should i put sexy bofors to 2 cl will it help?

[viscid swift]

I mean they should be running good gear either way

[wind hazel]

only on seattle

[viscid swift]

rip gear off other ships if need be
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide

[versed forum]

thx I'll try now

[viscid swift]

The gear part is debatably true for one ship

[wind hazel]

we'll see

[solar sapphire]

Hello again

How many days I have left for linking my account?

[wind hazel]

slightly more than a month

[solar sapphire]

Cool, I'll do in a few days then

[wind hazel]

why wait, do it now

[solar sapphire]

Thanks for the advice, today I think I'll be rather busy, so I did the dailies early just in case

That's why, I was curious if it was really important to do it rn, but if I have a month I can wait a couple of days

[stark quiver]

wdym
its pretty normal

[wind hazel]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

sorry that was preemptive

[versed forum]

done

[wind hazel]

interesting gear choice

[soft raft]

Why are you uing a rocket fighter in campaign

And that's certainly a choice not unlocking any of the skills on your META ships

Are locked META skills even active at all

[wind hazel]

you got any of these? change the nelson pennant to this

[viscid swift]

Mori you owe me 50 bucks

[wind hazel]

hey it was $5

[viscid swift]

I said I'd raise you tenfold

[wind hazel]

i didnt agree

[versed forum]

dont want to waste books and it works for me

[viscid swift]

touche

[weary edge]

how's the new meta?

[real haven]

Should I drop the 10 hour commission that cost 1.2k oil?

[soft raft]

never do those

[real haven]

Feels like its too much of an oil sink for what it is truly worth

[soft raft]

You would be correct

[real haven]

Used to do those in my 2 years of passive playing where I have little to no time to play

[viscid swift]

not particularluy noteworthy

[real haven]

For such a pain in the ass to deal with, this one is rather surprised.

I will just progress her as a shipfu then.

[weary edge]

unfortunate

[soft raft]

Average result for SR META ships tbh

[real haven]

Yeah, META is just for fun in general.

[hollow gust]

Regend has been one of the easier ones , a good fleet pretty much has 100% kill

[stark quiver]

regensburg meta's skills are pretty straightforward

[wind hazel]

@viscid swift check dm

[soft raft]

[wind hazel]

im snitching 1 of you guys. cheeky future mod, be careful

[hollow gust]

Now I'm curious too

[wind hazel]

it's nothing really, i sent him belfast rule34

[zenith heron]

I am curious what tool is this...

[viscid swift]

it's a site
https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/

[real haven]

True, but for someone who lacks basically any ship required to run those fleet well she IS a pain

[hollow gust]

That applies to every single meta , for current meta there is a decent variety of fleets

Granted Regend is Lexington's little btch

[stark quiver]

i think techless copers use like fritz alsace and those

[real haven]

mfw no yorktown

[hollow gust]

Don't need her

[real haven]

rn theres a fritz meck bis build

[hollow gust]

Lexy Lion Keary and Traffy still works

[real haven]

then i could prob accomodate since i do have mlb lex

[real haven]

no kear rofl ong

[stark quiver]

two shot demon

[viscid swift]

Try Alsace, Lion, Fritz then

[real haven]

fritz aint mlb need 2 more bulins sob

lowk cooked

[stark quiver]

so you have like nothing

[hollow gust]

If you are that poor ofc you won't be oneshotting

[real haven]

yes, ofc i have nothing

havent really grind for 2 years

[real haven]

Can a config of Lexi-Alsace-Lion handle Regen?

[hollow gust]

Do you have Trafalgar

[stark quiver]

i mean it can def two shot her

[real haven]

MLB 125

Any banner UR not shown in the screenshot is MLB and at 120/125 with the sole exception of Laffey 2 and Moskva being at 110

[real haven]

Well that works for me

[real haven]

What fleet can I make for Regen then?

[hollow viper]

Small question I see shinano is ranked high in some tierlists I've seen. Is she a great ship to focus on

[hollow gust]

She’s good but not UR Bulins from poor people good

[hollow viper]

Gotcha

[real haven]

For reference, Soyuz and Moskva is now MLB'd

[cobalt gate]

Is regen the new meta ship

[soft raft]

Yes

[elfin hollow]

new jersey just reached level 125 and fully MLB, what should i do next to improve? is there anyway to increase her level to 130?

[little tree]

~~ hopefully bullins weren't used on NJ~~

[elfin hollow]

yes because i played this game FOR new jersey and bremerton. my goal is to get them to level 125 and MLB first 😄

i just dont know if i can do anything further like retrofit new jersey etc to FURTHER improve the ship

[little tree]

Nope

[grave mantle]

Azur Lane is cruel game. Your favorite waifu in fact cannot be used in every content the game has. And in most cases bringing your favorite waifu means doing your fleet much-much weaker up to the point where you can't kill the enemy

[elfin hollow]

Thank you! If I must build a core fleet around New Jersey Bremerton and noshiro, what are the other recommendations you give me? I also have shinano and want to mlb her

[grave mantle]

Sorry, I can't recommend you anything since I've about the same progress in AL as you

[little tree]

~~ nj is only ship worth using of thoes 3 ~~ ch 12 + requires specialized fleetzs

Before realistically even up to ch 12 can be best if everything is 120

[elfin hollow]

Sad I wished Bremerton and noshiro etc would do well

[little tree]

Oh no they sit on the bench

Even nj has been power crept so much she is often benched

[elfin hollow]

But surely there are other ships that can be used to help Bremerton and noshiro?

[little tree]

Not past w 12

[elfin hollow]

I don’t know this sounds less and less appealing idk I put some money into this game for these two characters and sadly I have to think again if this game can be played long term I don’t wanna quit but I wish I can find a way

[onyx flame]

you can prob still use them in w13 maybe 14 if you bring decent enough carries

[tulip tinsel]

Noshiro with augment is not even that bad

[onyx flame]

additional, unless your pushing hard content you can just use your favourites
majority of the game is technically events and those arent hard at all

[little tree]

~~ i forgot nosh had an aug

You also spend a lot of time farming 12 1 for exp

[elfin hollow]

Tanks I will try to augment noshiro and Bernerton and find a way

I will search good carries that are meta

[little tree]

Unicorn 🦄 is great at keeping everyone alive

[grave mantle]

Which UR I should MLB? I can get 5 more bulins

[whole crypt]

where best to spend oil if not leveling

[whole crypt]

finish musashi then wait for CN anniv probably

[astral sleet]

how can I one shot the new META boss, this is the best I can do

[wind hazel]

use z52 instead of eldridge

[rapid grail]

can try wdp w/ yk2n & lex2

z52 and wdp over eldkai and ply

[solar lily]

do you even need to OHKO regensburg

or is 2HKO sufficient for most things

[brisk cedar]

does 16-4 good point to coin farm oil wise ?

[lyric stump]

I use same comp what is ur gear?

[stark quiver]

you save 40 oil and get to flex on noobs

but remember that only a fraction of the community cares about these things, so a 2 3 or 4 shot on the boss doesnt really matter, unless youre oil maxxing

[real haven]

Should I get Mecklenburg or Golden Leeuw first?

Or Nakhimov or Hindenburg

[solar lily]

oh lmao

[solar lily]

meck or nakhi personally

now the choice between whichever of the two you need most is up to you

nakhi is sorta easier to research though if you have pr7 datapacks or whatever they're called

[muted wind]

not really worth using datapacks at all tbf. i'd say meck is the safer choice now, but if you have moskva or soyuz, nakhimov is definitely a good option.

[solar lily]

^

idk, im a lazy bum when it comes to grinding so datapacks is a godsend for me

[wind hazel]

blueprints, not datapack

nvm you actuaslly meant datapack

[solar lily]

[muted wind]

yeah, nakhi is definitely easier to dev30 than meck now, i guess that's also true

[solar lily]

true that ig

[real haven]

I mean any of these is a good option when I get to weight my options here

[solar lily]

i say Mecklenburg if you don't have soyuz or moskva

[real haven]

Though Hinden will be the worst option but

[solar lily]

if you do, go ahead with nakhimov

[muted wind]

hindenburg isn't really worth the investment now (especially if you have moskva) and gouden leeuw is easily replaced by guam, so... yeah, but nakhi and meck are good

[real haven]

Well I have both at MLB which is why she is on the table

[real haven]

Then I guess priority work will be Nakhimov > Mecklenburg > Golden Leeuw and finally Kearsarge/Hindenburg

[solar lily]

yeah

[muted wind]

we'll have pr9 by then. but i guess that's a plan for now

[wind hazel]

getting them doesn't matter. what matter is are you able to dev30 them

[solar lily]

pr9 will feature legendary tier ships from WoWs or something

[wind hazel]

you can get them in any order, it won't matter

[muted wind]

i was assuming priority in terms of research tasks/bp, but yeah

[wind hazel]

you get the one that you can dev30 instantly

[real haven]

That is like, 6 weeks worth of unlocking, for BPs I already come prepared for everyone except the PR8s

[real haven]

Then priority on PR7 -> 6 -> 8 it seems like

To drag out as much time as I can for BP researches

[hollow gust]

Season 8 is by far the best for non vets

[wind hazel]

do you have the blueprints or not lol

and just to make it clear im not telling you to change your research focus. you should be doing focus 8 this entire time

are we on the same page?

[hollow gust]

PR6 is such a weak season looking back , Hindenburg and Keary are both so niche

[wind hazel]

that's everyone has been saying no?

[hollow gust]

Too many robot and ironblood simps

[wind hazel]

i dont think IB simps would say series 6 is great. they would say hindenburg is great...

[hollow gust]

Transitive property

[real haven]

Not for PR8s, else everything will be a guarante Dev30 in 2 weeks (some is a few BPs off)

That is why I decided to transition to that route while farming PR8 to at least have some headstart when they do become an issue

[wind hazel]

ok good

[real haven]

Let me check back on Nakhimov, since in case there is not enough BP for her then I'll start the PR7 research

Good way to get some more plane bps too

[wind hazel]

no dont change your research

stick to series 8

[real haven]

but but but... planes go boom boom,,,,

[strong tartan]

planes won't go boom if you don't have a cv to make them go boom

[onyx flame]

whats l'indomptable doing in the next ijn banner

[wind hazel]

don't go chasing 2 things at the same time, you won't get even one completed

[real haven]

Well that is where Nakhimov comes into play

[wind hazel]

skin

[real haven]

I mean true but is the PR7 UR plane bp purchasable yet?

[wind hazel]

only 1 of it from protocore shop

[strong tartan]

Nakhimov won't be of use unless you have the amount to get her to dev 30

[elfin hollow]

I just got one pr1 ship done but I cannot find it in my dock? How do I level it up?

[wind hazel]

did you unlock her?

[elfin hollow]

Why is poltova a BB I remember she was submarine?

[onyx flame]

i mean yea but what she doing in the gacha rate up
https://x.com/azurlane_staff/status/2035974829560762498?s=20

[wind hazel]

SP banner

[elfin hollow]

Why do I need to unlock pr1 ship? I just developed her

[strong tartan]

she's always been a bb

[wind hazel]

no i mean did you actually hit the unlock in the shipyard?

[elfin hollow]

Thanks I got it. Is this good?

[wind hazel]

no

[real haven]

I shall check again, in the case of what I need being inaccessible then PR7 will be high priority, else I will stick to PR8

[wind hazel]

not dev30=waste of exp books for now

[real haven]

Will be the best play for this

[elfin hollow]

What should I do here

[wind hazel]

enhance her everyday, for a month

until she is at least dev lv30

[onyx flame]

10 bps a day, getting tax 3k coins a day fr

[elfin hollow]

Is dev level same as normal level?

[wind hazel]

you should just stick to series 8, it's better for you in the long term

[elfin hollow]

How can I make series 8 I need to start with pr1 no?

[wind hazel]

no, dev level is basically shipyard ship's limit break

[real haven]

I mean Mecklenburg is one big reason and her gun too, but I also want to get Nakhimov prepared

[wind hazel]

how many la9 do you own?

[real haven]

Since I do remember having ~30 of those BPs already

[elfin hollow]

I just made her what do I do? Just abandon her and keep developing? Pr1? I have only 1 pr1

[real haven]

LA9?

[wind hazel]

[elfin hollow]

Any help

[wind hazel]

KEEP COINING HER DAILY, UNTIL SHE IS DEV30

now you move onto your next ship

[real haven]

Right, brain short circuited, like 2? But they are on Shinano and Implacable

[elfin hollow]

So I have to keep developing ship girls from pr1 all the way to pr8? What? I can’t skip from pr1 to pr8?

[wind hazel]

anchorage is good if you can start on her, otherwise do any filler

[real haven]

So I couldn't just yank them out either

[wind hazel]

no 💀

[elfin hollow]

Omg process long!

[muted wind]

you can skip, as long as you have the tech points to start a later season's ship. which you might not have. just check

[elfin hollow]

This game is very hard

[real haven]

Just develop what you can develop, since they are only locked behind tech points

[wind hazel]

no as in that's not what i fucking meant

[real haven]

So for example you unlocked Mecklenburg for research, then well, do it.

[wind hazel]

you asked what you should do with your Izumo.

what you should do is enhance her daily, buy 10 blueprints, get her to dev30

[muted wind]

also, keep using a few coins (up to 10 i'd say) (or even just the free enhancements) for izumo while you develop the next ship

[wind hazel]

you can do this by going into shipyard, select her, and you'll see you can buy her blueprints with coin

[real haven]

We can coin up to PR5 right?

[wind hazel]

pr6 dr5

[real haven]

Been a while so I don't remember as much

[elfin hollow]

Am stuck at dev 9. How to enhance further?

[real haven]

Hmm, that seems good enough for me

[wind hazel]

exp book her to lv10

[muted wind]

read the top right

[real haven]

This is Azur Lane, who even reads 😭

[strong tartan]

It's right there

[muted wind]

also please don't spend too many coins on this, the first few daily have discount

[onyx flame]

did they just hyper bought bps

[elfin hollow]

How do I MlB shizuno? I don’t need more UR billion right?

[wind hazel]

dev lv=limit break.

just like normal ship, shipyard ship has limit break in the form of dev level. dev10 require lv10, dev20 require lv30, dev30 require lv70 etc etc (tho im not sure on the actual numbers)

[real haven]

That is actually the numbers

And you need 100 to do the final step of Fate Sim

[elfin hollow]

Wow so what is point of pulling ur ship since pr ship don’t need ur bulin and much more efficient?

[muted wind]

because it takes months to dev 30 them

[wind hazel]

shipyard takes months to fully develop

[real haven]

I don't know, cause banner ship is needed to cowork with development ship too??

[wind hazel]

also select the Research Focus bottom right, change to PR/DR 8

[real haven]

And shipyard ship if come unprepared WILL hard punish you for the lack of resources

[elfin hollow]

Can just use exp books and push pr1 ship to level 100 and whale coins to develop to dev30 immediately?

[wind hazel]

you might as well whale the PR vouchers

[strong tartan]

no banner ur ship has been dependant on a research ship like ever

[muted wind]

hey anyone do the math on how much that would cost lmao
-# also that does not work for new seasons since you can't coin them for a few years after their release

[real haven]

For PR1 your best option is Roon

[wind hazel]

no it's actually Monarch

[real haven]

Every 10 BP drains like 15k?

[real haven]

Thought it was Roon, I probably got mistaken then

[real haven]

And to Dev. 30 you need around 350?

[elfin hollow]

Wow so none of the pr ships can be pulled in gacha? And have to be developed slowly?

[muted wind]

that's like... $300 for fs5 for a PR ship?

[real haven]

So that is 520k right there just to fully coin a ship to dev 30, ignoring research requirements

[muted wind]

yeah, maybe don't do that

[wind hazel]

multiply by coin $. who actually buy coin wtf

[strong tartan]

no if they were in the banner that would... defeat their entire purpose

[real haven]

And also ruin them lore wise, since there are basically just a bunch of blueprint ships.

The closest ship to even be "real" is probably FdG

[strong tartan]

Idk much about the lore to comment on that

[real haven]

Since she was nearly finished constructing before she got scrapped

[wind hazel]

whale this instead

[muted wind]

-# or don't, it's not worth it long-term

[real haven]

These are ships that has never been built IRL, they exists as a blueprint

[strong tartan]

I know

[wind hazel]

but you said you dont know!!

[real haven]

In game lore also basically based on this

[muted wind]

admittedly, a lot of gacha ships also haven't been built irl, they're just slightly closer to real designs

[elfin hollow]

My advice here?

[strong tartan]

I pick and choose

[muted wind]

don't

[wind hazel]

dont use them at all

[real haven]

Just no, coin them

The only general BP that you probably should use is the DR one

Actually, that is the only one being used

But only for ships that is explicitly not coinable

[elfin hollow]

I bought pr1 pack from shop. I don’t know what to do next I bought the premium bundle. It just unlocks 1 ship? So I have to develop 4 more?

[wary gazelle]

Do they need to be exchanged for currency for the store?

[muted wind]

when you get a ship to dev 30, you can convert these bp and then analyze them. doing that lets you buy stuff from the proto shop. before that, it's just a waste

[wind hazel]

it's the better way to use them

[real haven]

For PPR explicitly yes

[wind hazel]

tf is ppr

[real haven]

the gold one idk i forgot the classification

right PR, mb

[wind hazel]

[real haven]

Hey don't blame me my head is not clocking well

But overall PR ship blueprints are pretty common, in fact I have enough to dev 20 most of the PR7 PRs just by grinding for Napoli

[elfin hollow]

anyone know if these bundles are worth?

[wind hazel]

if you're really rich and wanna whale, buy series 2 to get Georgia and series 4 for Anchorage. buy the lv70 commander level booster as well. buy the most expensive gem packs and start expanding your dockspace too

[muted wind]

imo no (for the bundles)

[glad light]

do i lose anything if i scrap the lower tiered ships i retrofitted?

[elfin hollow]

but how can i buy pr2 and get georgia when ive not yet unlocked all 5 of pr1?

[wind hazel]

you can skip

you dont need to fully complete a season to move onto the next

[real haven]

Well you lose that ship along with any material used to leveling, limit break and retrofit

[muted wind]

the invested resources. you keep the collection progress though

[real haven]

No not really, unless you are on some hypergrind then PR4 for Anchorage/AvP

[elfin hollow]

you are savior thanks

[elfin hollow]

is georgia and anchorage META? and quite powerful for now? i am stuck at ch10

[wind hazel]

make sure you're really rich, im not giving good financial advice here

[glad light]

so pretty much just what i put into her, but other than that i dont have to keep any of the crappy Rares do i?

[wind hazel]

lol ok ch10, dont buy the lv70 commander pack

[real haven]

Georgia no, Anchorage is a decent starter, same with August von Parseval

[strong tartan]

Georgia after her augment is good and Anchorage has seen better days

[elfin hollow]

seem this game is super deep and better to take it one step at a time

[wind hazel]

it kinda is https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

[real haven]

Well if you retire the retrofitted version yes, else if it's unretrofitted then there is no consequences

[real haven]

Surprisingly is for a game branded for gooning

[real haven]

You lose nothing, and in my humble opinion, just do it go crazy

Retire all the spares, medal is an important currency for UR bulins too

[glad light]

cool cuz im running out of space and im out of gems lol

[elfin hollow]

can a person do anything wrong in this game? like if a person is dumb and didnt follow meta and just got ships they liked. can they finish ALL story events? all war achives?

[muted wind]

honestly, the game is about as deep as a puddle unless you want to oneshot meta showdowns or clear late campaign chapters. events can be cleared with basically any ships given that you have good gear.

[wind hazel]

you can do events with your waifu, as long as they are properly geared

[real haven]

Gonna need some proper gear then it should be fine

[elfin hollow]

is GOOD gear = gold gear enhanced?

[muted wind]

no

[wind hazel]

the only one thing a person can do wrong is scrapping the Hedgehog gear

[strong tartan]

not always

[real haven]

Though chapter 15-16 will prove difficult

[muted wind]

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

[strong tartan]

there's quite a few gold gear thats just not worth your time

[real haven]

Depends on what gear we are talking about, sometimes its better to use gold than shiny rainbows

[elfin hollow]

how is this game compared to Nikke? spend more on nikke or spend more on azur lane? right now spent more on azur lane and not sure if have time for NIKKE

[real haven]

And purples over gold, it is entirely dependent on the purpose

[muted wind]

notably, BB guns with normal ammo and fighters without (or less) bombs aren't never really worth using

[wind hazel]

let's just say spending $ on nikke will make your progress much faster. spending $ in azur lane is a total waste 😂

[muted wind]

-# still kills me that when, in nikke, you max out gear, it just turns into a relic system

[elfin hollow]

thanks! i interested in nikke but azur lane is so far taking all my time and idk if i have time to get another gacha

[strong tartan]

honestly you spend most of your time just letting the game play on auto in the background

[wind hazel]

nikke is still relatively young game, you'll find better future in it

manualling in it also give you better sense of accomplishment

[exotic sorrel]

THERE'S COMMISIONS THAT CAN GIVE GEMS??

[strong tartan]

yeah but don't get your hopes up

[elfin hollow]

i need to read ALL war archives and story 😄

[wind hazel]

in azur lane, manual is gonna get you bullied on the internet 😂

[muted wind]

enjoy the chance to get like 20 gems

[strong tartan]

do you really have to though

[elfin hollow]

i will try to find time for NIKKE

[exotic sorrel]

But it's still worth commissioning them right ...?

[muted wind]

i've gotten like maybe a few hundred gems from commissions since release, it's not worth mentioning. still take them, they also give good oil

[wind hazel]

daily in AL is longer than daily in Nikke

[kindred arrow]

Even if you don't get gems, the oil is nice so yes

[muted wind]

*not that you really play for AL dailies

[wind hazel]

ye you need to farm this farm that. nikke is afk game at its core

[exotic sorrel]

Oh wow I just realized I have 106 wisdom cubes I think I'll be able to get 350+ by May

[elfin hollow]

but i think azur lane SHIP design is better than nikke. nikke sometime design looks TOO MOE

[hollow gust]

You can get to 350 by April

It's piss easy to get cubes in AL

[wind hazel]

well yes, we have over 700 shipgirls, ez win

[exotic sorrel]

How much pity is it again for one UR in a limited build pool

[wind hazel]

400 cubes 300k coin

[exotic sorrel]

I think I can get to that... As long as I don't miss out a day in daily missions

[muted wind]

an active player should get a little over 200 cubes per month, so you're good, yeah

[onyx flame]

We aint getting a ur banner anytime soon anyway so you got time

[hollow gust]

More like closer to 300

[elfin hollow]

anyone hear any rumor of azur lane 2? will it be good?

[wind hazel]

300

[muted wind]

i've been tracking my pulls for 5 years and that comes out to like 220 cubes gain per month, so, i dunno where you get 300 from

[wind hazel]

ye 300 is very high lol

even 250 is considered above average

[onyx flame]

~~the power of trade license ~~

[strong tartan]

no azur lane 2

[hollow gust]

I call it the 10 hour tech

I'm at 68 cubes purely from RNG methods(coms/shops) this month , I use a clicker for every cube I get

[muted wind]

wouldn't it be easier to just count pulls and check the cube difference
