[whole crypt]

I think I tried oak can't remember

[late flame]

While short-lived it was kinda fun to see her snipe in pvp alongside lion and whowastheotherHMS.. ah yes royal oak

[whole crypt]

she had her time in PvP, that was called 2019

[forest palm]

too many band-aid fixes that didn't address her overall problems

[late flame]

back to collecting dust in dock..

[muted wind]

augment 2 when?

[whole crypt]

like 99% of ships

[wind hazel]

you guys really underselling warspite too much

she's expensive but she isn't as bad as you guys say she is

[whole crypt]

I'll admit she's an okay bossing BB if you don't have a good rainbow roster

[wind hazel]

i'd pick warspite than nj

[forest palm]

I'd rather undersell Warspite than give the idea that she's good for a newer player

[muted wind]

the good part about warspite is that she's easy to get and doesn't need URins. whether that makes her worth investing in is another question, but if you already have the spare resources...?

[whole crypt]

nowadays I'd probably do that too because spoot doesn't cost you 16000 spec cores or months of pity dupes to LB

[forest palm]

also Monarch w/ UE exists now too...

[whole crypt]

if you're entering ch12+ and want to put together a functional BB boss fleet she's a valid option

you can monarch+spoot, depends on what you actually have

[wind hazel]

only thing i dislike about warspite is that she's kinda weak for campaign lol

[whole crypt]

which is why she's hard to sell, for cost-performance in progression

[forest palm]

which again I'd rather undersell warspite than give the idea that she's useful

[whole crypt]

it's... a choice, depending on the account's condition

[wind hazel]

that's just giving misinformation lol

[whole crypt]

I wouldn't recommend it outright, but there are potentially cases where spoot would be the least worst choice to put togther a boss fleet

[forest palm]

exactly

[whole crypt]

somethingsomething I usually look for context

[wind hazel]

tf you mean exactly lol

[late flame]

when in doubt just confuse

[muted wind]

can't lose an argument if nobody knows what you're arguing for

[whole crypt]

I mean I will actually recommend spoot if I bother to read the context for a case where she can actually be recommended

[dusk maple]

best boss fleet for 16-4 safe mode? my mob fleet is fine but the boss fleet vanguard ocassionally loses a ship

[wind hazel]

i use lexii yk2 indep guam gouden eldridge

[late flame]

16-4 safe? My mob fleet kils everything

[dusk maple]

[muted wind]

what's your current mob fleet?

[whole crypt]

more like what are you current fleets for both

[whole crypt]

but yes what mori said can work

[dusk maple]

sushi cowpens uni laff2 willyd shimanto

[muted wind]

who's sinking with that

[dusk maple]

no one, I said mob fleet was fine

[muted wind]

... wait. yeah ignore me i'm silly

[whole crypt]

EN moment

[muted wind]

-# brain immediately forgot the word boss when it scanned past mob

[wind hazel]

eldridge occasionally explode on lethal 8~10 but very consistent clear without dying on safe. havent seen her dying anymore

[late flame]

I sometimes sub shimanto out for kurumi, kills everything in 16-4 safe

[muted wind]

okay so i'm not the only that cannot read

[wind hazel]

it's usually due to ramming the big boats before musashi appear

[late flame]

Everything including boss

[wind hazel]

fighting musashi with like 50-60% hp, so she explode

[dusk maple]

well that mob fleet strat worked, mob fleet cleared the boss easily

[wind hazel]

fujinami chaser?

[late flame]

Fujinami is a lie

[forest palm]

farm long enough it all blends together

[exotic sorrel]

I finally got enough core data for an independence

I will retrofit her as soon as possible and get her augment too

[wind hazel]

bro who asked

[exotic sorrel]

I wanna know if she's better off as mob or boss fleet

[wind hazel]

she can do both

[white agate]

whats next event to rerun?

[late flame]

#gameplay-help message

[mossy stratus]

can i use EX ship tierlist as a guide to create formation for guild challenge?

[onyx flame]

just form up a anti heavy fleet assuming your guild only challeneges the highest level one

[mossy stratus]

so, i guess it's all depends on gears?

[wind hazel]

ship and gear

[timid beacon]

[viscid swift]

I mean Mogador has already been powercrept

[timid beacon]

I’m guessing alsaca too

[viscid swift]

kinda

I don't use her that much anymore but she's still a really solid BB

Mogador I would just straight up not spend bullins on at this point

[timid beacon]

So like is mogador just not usable anymore?

[viscid swift]

I mean she's still usable, but in terms of ships I'd want to spend UR Bullins on she's towards the bottom of the list

[exotic sorrel]

If I'm using Independence on the boss she has to use homing torps?

[wind hazel]

no

[agile pewter]

I got a new gun that is usable on BB but can't see the option to equip it onto one of my BB, why is this happening?

Do I have to match the ship faction too?

[viscid swift]

I'm gonna take a guess you're trying to equip a CL gun on a BB/BC that can only take DD guns in their aux gun slot

[wheat ore]

should i not use a ship if it's not max fate simulation?

[viscid swift]

depends on the ship and content really

[agile pewter]

It's this gun on Pennsylvania

How can I tell if that's the case

[tulip tinsel]

penn can't put on cl gun only dd gun

[viscid swift]

that is literally the case I described

USN BBs can't equip CL guns in their aux gun slot

[agile pewter]

Oh it said bb too so I thought it was usable

[viscid swift]

yeah the ships can also have restrictions on what gear they can equip

[agile pewter]

Whats a usn btw

[tiny goblet]

united states navy

[agile pewter]

So it's a restriction on that particular country?

[viscid swift]

no, other ships have it, only USN BBs have it as universal restriction

the reason why is because the USN used dual purpose secondary batteries that were no larger than 5 inches (DD Guns)

[agile pewter]

Does the game say this anywhere it's quite confusing

[undone plover]

if u open a BB and check the slot it will show the restrictions iirc

altho in game tooltip is kinda whatever
best check on aldb/wiki

[timid beacon]

Is it better to save 2x oil and rewards eff for events?

[viscid swift]

not really, all it does is save time

[hard dock]

Do I flag Alsace or Bis2 for Ply in Hard Arbiter?

[hidden pasture]

what augment to craft? im doing the augment craft quest and i have soyuz as my only UR

[timid beacon]

What did the quest say

[hidden pasture]

craft 1 augment

[tulip tinsel]

officer sword for soyuz ig it doesn't really matter

[timid beacon]

This one

[sweet delta]

Does a gold augment not count? You get so many blue/purple for free that you shouldn't craft them

[urban grail]

any comps for current meta

also what aux should kearsarge use

[flint arrow]

I know it's probably not a simple answer, but how far apart, roughly, are good and not so good items from the same slot? Rainbow items aside, how big would a difference be between, say, 155 kai and 155 vs light boss? Or quad mags vs quint non mags? Is it more like couple % diff? Or something crazy like 50% better

[floral latch]

How to get ship tech blueprint via research? I'm forgot which PR that always gonna give us ship blueprint, not like the PR ship blueprint but ones to retrofit blueprints. Because I'm desperately need some to get my sandy retrofitted and got her skill unlocked.

[viscid swift]

Really dependent on which gear you're comparing

[sweet delta]

For 155 on a vanguard, it's 15%

And vanguard ships usually do little damage in the grand scheme of midgame

[hard dock]

Which has better rewards, T4 siren coords or t5 map coords?

[whole crypt]

5 but you should be buying and doing both anyway

[sweet delta]

4

or debatable

[orchid spruce]

Working on Nagato META and getting her down to 15-20 percent. Aside from getting another Meck gun, what can I do to increase damage with this fleet? Are there any ships or gear I should swap out?

[flint arrow]

Yeah, though this was just an example. I just really dislike managing items and would rather not move my good items more than necessaary. So was wondering if enhancing some bottom of the barrel sr equipment, like idk devastator torpedo bomber, and slapping it on the random ship im leveling just for completion/PR exp sake, would work or would it make me struggle in the farming maps

[viscid swift]

Why is Lion running Nelson's Pennant instead of a shell

Agir is also redundant run someone who brings more contribution to the fleet

And why is Zwei running a 457

And for the record

[tulip tinsel]

+13 nelson flag 😭

[orchid spruce]

Yeah, bad early decision

[boreal merlin]

Actually insane

[orchid spruce]

I’ll swap that

[orchid spruce]

What should I be using instead? Would champagne gun be better?

[viscid swift]

Yes

Also Table goes to Lion not Zwei

[timid beacon]

Is there a guide for grinding for fleet tech points?

[woven star]

Pick one and level up them

DD - FP
BB - RLD, FP, ACC
CV - RLD, AVI
CL/CA/CB - FP, EVA

[undone plover]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/fleet_technology/
sam has a nice list of sources from perma for some nations

oh my bad u asked about fleet tech

[woven star]

It's fleet points. Not fleet tech

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/tracker?reverseOrder=true
Or https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Fleet_Technology

[soft raft]

*Tech points not fleet points

[floral latch]

Looking at the cube emote.

So all I need is to do the research that needs cube for payment? Doesn't matter the PR? Because rn I'm on PR8, focusing on getting better weapons type of research.

[woven star]

Nvm if looked fleet points for research #gameplay-help message this one

[woven star]

Yeah. I guess he looking fleet points long day

[soft raft]

ngl I'm confused by your question
What are you looking for? Research Dev BPs or Retrofit BPs? Because you cannot get the latter from research at all

[floral latch]

Retrofit BP. Those purple and gold ones, I need gold

[tulip tinsel]

there is a research that gives retrofit bps but it's shit for that and just grind hardmode for that

[soft raft]

You primarily get those from grinding hard mode campaign
X-1 for DD
X-2 for CA/CL
X-3 for BB/BC
X-4 for CV/CVL

[floral latch]

Yep the X1

[soft raft]

San Diego is a CL so you should be farming X-2 instead of X-1

[flint arrow]

by the way speaking of retrofit blueprints, is there another use to them? other than retrofitting a ship or to build a PR ship?

[floral latch]

So all I need to do is head out to hardmode yes?

[floral latch]

Oh yeah, aight. Any stage of hard yes?

[soft raft]

afaik no not really

[flint arrow]

ok good to know

[soft raft]

Highest stage you can starting from W3 and above (Because W1 and W2 dont drop gold rarity BPs)

[floral latch]

Oooh, okie, thanks for the heads up

[wicked dove]

Hi is Roma / Shangri-la good?

[viscid swift]

Might wanna give that a look
https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/

[wicked dove]

Ty, i am more of a new player atm lol

[ebon verge]

how much CV rld tech do i need for 4 strikes with this team?

[viscid swift]

Roma is mediocre, Shanrgi-La is decent for a new player

[viscid swift]

pretty much max

[ebon verge]

nvm then guess ill just add more dmg aux

[thorn tartan]

Which rainbow guns would you prioritize in the gear lab?

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab

[lilac ivy]

How good is this cat for Meck/biz/ fdg or uvh ?

The first 3 skills are standard but what should I reroll the 4th to?

[viscid swift]

pretty mediocre

not a cat I would reroll

[ivory pawn]

I wouldn’t waste the coin rerolling, but it should work as is assuming you don’t have really good cats.

[lilac ivy]

Mediocre? am i just looking for all rainbow skills?

Cats were always confusing to me

[ivory pawn]

Flame’s Aggression or the one-point hull skill for the cat, in Oscar’s case Soulful Warrior, plus other good skills.
So for Oscar, something like Flame - Artillery - Officer, then reroll for Soul + RLD.

[shut zinc]

is any event on rn? trying to get back into the game

[ivory pawn]

Faction specific skills suck because they’re faction specific, though the IB one isn’t as bad thanks to Meck + Bis.

[lilac ivy]

Fa? So Every is just a better cat than This one for my IB fleet?

[ivory pawn]

Yep.

Every + Drake is hard to beat tbh.

[viscid swift]

no but there will be one in a few days

[lilac ivy]

Thats disheartening i thought the FP skills were very good on backline...

[ivory pawn]

They are! They’re the ones you want to get. It’s just that Flame and Soul are the two most important, unfortunately.

[lilac ivy]

Ty for the info 🙂

[hushed delta]

do we know what's the best gun for eldridge against Light/ this Meta?

[tulip tinsel]

ignore barrage

[stable badger]

heh. still remember prior the retro, Eldridge was ALL about her barrage

[hushed delta]

so moga gun, nice thx

[flint arrow]

trafalgar wants swords right not hammer

also, if i only have one twin 76 AA gun, should lion have it or trafalgar?

[fleet aurora]

is there still a guide like siamuda where they list gear recommendation for each ship?

[ivory pawn]

Just use the quick gear guide, which I’ll link after I remember the command.

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

[umbral briar]

did golden part/material can drop by this contruction?

[onyx flame]

dont think it does at all

[flint arrow]

q.q all in s tier for meta in tier list

[onyx flame]

Well just cause they are s tier in meta fights doesnt mean their suited for all meta fights

[viscid swift]

Did you even note what armor types they're good at

Or gearing

among other factors

[turbid marsh]

this is a pretty old game, so bosses are... comp specific

[undone plover]

S tier assumes properly geared in proper comps

[fleet aurora]

ok thx

[woven star]

I guess tb issues. Hvar top for this

[hollow gust]

Doesn't matter when your gear sucks

That fleet with actual gear should do over 1 mil

[woven star]

Or using in inappropriate sense

Can try to help if u make 🧵 and shown dock with gears

[flint arrow]

That fleet with actual gear should do

[exotic sorrel]

Will I encounter enemy nodes in opsi where they're like fogged? (The ones that you can't identify what kind of enemies you're facing)

[merry leaf]

for op siren, where can i farm or get golden items to build

[ivory pawn]

Everywhere, best spots are Port Shops, Arbiter, Hidden Zones (yellow chests), and Sirens (Red skulls)

Oh, Strongholds too (red vortexes)

[merry leaf]

bet ty

[flat wraith]

Do some shipgirl don't bennefit from tech?
couse I have no gear/tech button on Bayard

[soft raft]

Research ships only get tech bonuses from other ships when they're D30 (which is their equivalent of MLB)

Same applies for regular ships as well

[flat wraith]

forgot about this part, thank you

[tulip tinsel]

Would a 125/100 soyuz be overall better than 125/200 nj?

[viscid swift]

yes

[sweet delta]

I'd use a 120/100 Soyuz over 125/200

[undone plover]

is ch16 air thing fixed?
and is clearing mode live yet?

[sweet delta]

Idk if it's fixed or not, because clearing mode removes it anyways

[tiny apex]

if i post my ur/sr dock here i may get some help building a fleet wich i should investo on ?

[ivory pawn]

Put it in a thread and sure. What campaign chapter are you on?

[tiny apex]

9.1

do i make the treah here or there is a speficif place ?

[ivory pawn]

In this channel yeah.

[tiny apex]

i made it

[languid trout]

on this website, what does the tier N mean
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/bb

cause it says hermione is tier N but idk what that means

[forest palm]

wouldn't concern yourself, it's outdated, and they aren't going to continue updating it

[soft raft]

that site is outdated and no longer maintained, but TN essentially means complete bottom of the barrel trash

[languid trout]

fuck

so should i just retire those ships then

[soft raft]

yesnt
they still have value as being tech point and fleet tech fodder, just that give up any hope of justifying using them for actual content

[languid trout]

fair enough

what's a better version of that site then

[frail stump]

are unicorn and perseus still the best mobfleet healers?

[viscid swift]

Cowpens came along to give them some competition

[soft raft]

Perseus got powercrept quite a while ago and nowadays is bsaically completely phased out
Unicorn Retro still the top, but Cowpens gives her some competition depending on what your vanguard compostion is

[frail stump]

ah alright thanks for the replies guys, is it possible to get cowpens now? or do i just wait for rerun

[sweet delta]

Wait 2 years

[soft raft]

You're gonna have to wait for a while (She's from Indiana event)

[sweet delta]

She was just 3 months ago

[clear harbor]

Lex II event, right?

[strong tartan]

yes

[lament plover]

How do you calculate the stat for Regen Meta? Can't you just look in the ship equipment tab for the number?

[viscid swift]

well skills also have to be factored in

[lament plover]

I assume it's not included into the number of ship tab?

[wind hazel]

use lars calculator, easiest way

[signal path]

For Mob Fleet is Saratoga still worth it? I want to give her Unique Augment

[lament plover]

What's the good DD to run with Laffey II and Z-52? Trafalgar?

[hollow gust]

content dependent

[wind hazel]

well not laffey

[lament plover]

for CV fleet in Regens Meta

[wind hazel]

z52 wdp aurora

[lament plover]

Who is wdp?

[wind hazel]

william d porter

[signal path]

Is HVAR in War archive worth farming?

[lament plover]

aight thx

[rain timber]

Is there a way to get rid of the notification when my DR/PR ships want to eat my retrofit blueprints/cubes/money, without using them? I don't want to put them into the ship yet because I'm nowhere close to getting the XP part, and can put the resources to better use until I get to finish the ship

[wind hazel]

if you wanna tryhard with eagle cv fleet, yeah

[wind hazel]

i dont think so, unless you switch to a new ship

just pretend the red [!] isnt there

[signal path]

Wdym?

[wind hazel]

hvar is worth farming only if you want to tryhard with Eagle Union CV fleet to try and 1shot META boss

[rain timber]

Bruv 😭 notification fatigue is killing me
Also I want to be notified when my gold upgradeable ships have reset their timer and all 🫠

[viscid swift]

You get used to it and it becomes muscle memory

[stark quiver]

i tried to open up blue archive and muscle memory opened azur lane

[soft raft]

oh whoops yeah
got my American events mixed there for a sec 💀

[slender turtle]

Anyone know why plymouth is getting 2 stacks on the regen meta fight with this fleet?

[onyx flame]

Well she has a self buff maybe she taking both eva and acc

[slender turtle]

Dont think there is any shot she is beating Eldridge in eva

Is acc one of that stats that count towards the mechnic?

[onyx flame]

Actually its prob trp and acc shes taking

I forgor ply has torp

[onyx flame]

Its avi,fp,acc,trp,eva

[slender turtle]

Hmmm how do I fix this thenn, try and get a BB to take acc?

[onyx flame]

I mean you could try shove more acc onto aurora

[stark quiver]

its really hard to tell who has what stat when you dont show gears, oaths and the rest

[agile pewter]

What's good to buy from here for a new player?

[sweet delta]

Eldridge

20k

[slender turtle]

Here is the gear, all oathed 200

[agile pewter]

She's not in the shop though?

[stark quiver]

you wait for her to appear

[agile pewter]

Ah ok

When does the item change?

[onyx flame]

Every day reset which is in approx 2 and a half hours time

[stark quiver]

just take sword off plymouth and see if it works
@slender turtle

[slender turtle]

I gave her the half moon aux and they all just have 1 now, so that seemed to fix it!

[stark quiver]

ply should be [(218*1.12)-20]=224.16, if you take sword off
and aurora would be at (186+40)=226
or that works too

[timid peak]

Who to prioritize in shipyard between fdg and nakhimov

[trail dagger]

Do you hv BP to upgrade nakh to Dev 30?

[onyx flame]

Plymouth

[timid peak]

Not yet lol but can switch my research focus

[onyx flame]

If your on 8 stay on it till you finish it

[trail dagger]

You can dev Fdg first or maybe plymouth first (recommended by goingtodie)because their be bps can be coined.

[flint arrow]

when is fritz rumey gonna return?

[grizzled sundial]

next year

[flint arrow]

[exotic sorrel]

If my BB can use a DD/CL gun it's better to give them DD right?

[onyx flame]

Cl

[exotic sorrel]

Oh nvm I thought I remembered DD guns being better thx for clari

[shadow stump]

what planes to use for support fleet?

[scarlet cosmos]

when do you guys think is the next UR event? Currently I have 2 UR bulins and am not sure to start mlbing mogador or wait for new UR

[atomic abyss]

CN anniversary in mid/late may

[shadow stump]

my cubes would like a break

[scarlet cosmos]

sounds good. How is mogador anyways? I got her a long time ago, just never put any bulins in her

[atomic abyss]

Flapjacks work but are rather expensive

Use this, gearlab iirc
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/equips/id/47200

[shadow stump]

i mean, i can just make more flapjacks

[atomic abyss]

She's fine
High gun DPS
But has the tendency to lunge into danger a lot
Has niche use to force enemies to as a pseudo stopper

[shadow stump]

would flapjacks be more prefered

[atomic abyss]

No

Support fleet fighters don't drop bombs

Don't go out of your way to craft more

[scarlet cosmos]

Thanks, I'll jut invest into her while we wait for next UR

[atomic abyss]

If you have some to spare use them
And then fill up the spare slots with this

[shadow stump]

could i just make 6 of them theoretically?

[scarlet cosmos]

Does Eldridge use a quick DD gun? Or standard

[shadow stump]

looks like she uses this one

[scarlet cosmos]

sounds good!

[rain vine]

theres no reason to do so when the fw190 g3 is better and cheaper

[shadow stump]

yea thats what i ment, make 6 of the fw190 g3

im guessing it dosent matter what i put into the torpedo bomber slot

[rain vine]

as long as youre getting 45 or 65 avi stat from the torp/dive bomber

[shadow stump]

is there a equipment bis for Tokisaki Kurumi

[crystal ore]

I just got shimakaze and victorio. Should I lvl up those 2 or change anyone in this team with them?

[undone plover]

vittorio veneto?

[crystal ore]

Yep

[undone plover]

1- stop pulling perma
2- if u have gold bulins and dont have better BB in medal shop than VV then u can use her i suppose

[crystal ore]

I know. I just do 10 pulls because I'm bored and I got her tho

This is all the BB I have atm

[undone plover]

just use soyuz
save gold bulins for later ships

soyuz penny unicorn and keep vanguard the same

what do u have in medal shop?
can u get enterprise or san diego?

[crystal ore]

I have 2 CL in medal shop. Already got 1 for Sandi

[undone plover]

then save gold bulins for san diego

[woven star]

Tomorrow event. So better save cubes and coins for pull imo

[agile pewter]

The next banner is good to pull on?

[wind hazel]

we dont know

[agile pewter]

What about this banner

[wind hazel]

there's no ongoing event

[exotic sorrel]

Oh so in my area tomorrow is the event would it be okay to skip the banner and continue saving for the next UR

[wind hazel]

wait for datamine

[muted wind]

next UR is also far enough away that you don't really need to worry about it

[wind hazel]

worry about collab instead

[tawdry halo]

Should I change my bomber to the F4U for Mamano?

[wind hazel]

no

[tawdry halo]

so there isnt any other bombers better than the Helldiver aside from Tenrai?

[wind hazel]

for campaign yeah though tbh you probably wont even see the difference in practice

[tawdry halo]

also which stage of chap12 gives the most coin again

I'm on coin shortage

[wind hazel]

4

[solar lily]

aint the f4u a fighter though

[onyx flame]

that version is a db

[solar lily]

wait it doesnt have passive intercept?

[tawdry halo]

thx

[tawdry halo]

you are finally using this channel?

[solar lily]

@tawdry halo omg hi mina

[solar lily]

plenty nowadays

[solar lily]

i would say skyraider is up there too but its not a true upgrade

theres also the gold helldiver which doesn't add much aside from 20 extra AVI

[onyx flame]

I mean it occupies a dive bomber slot and i dont think there a single one that has passive intercept

[solar lily]

i thought it was an upgrade over the flapjack 💀💀

[wind hazel]

[solar lily]

like hey, i see F4U i think the fighter

didn't know they just turned it into a marginally worse BTD-1 destroyer

[forest palm]

F4U are Corsair and BTD are Douglas

[knotty jolt]

we got 3 different F4U's, the normal fighter, the VBF94 squadron dive bomber, and another fighter version but VF17 squadron

[solar lily]

ik

the three corsairs

[wind hazel]

who says f4u is worse than btd??

[forest palm]

they're talking about how GL converts an F4U into the shittier BTD

[wind hazel]

wha

[forest palm]

that's what I assume given what they typed out

[wind hazel]

what is GL

[forest palm]

Gear Lab ~

[wind hazel]

im so lost

[solar lily]

i mean like, idk why yostar decided to make that F4U into basically a btd-1 sidegrade

and not like a normal fighter like its purple cousin

[knotty jolt]

It's fast able to change launch times for timing reasons

[forest palm]

oh, they're talking about the VBF

[solar lily]

on the topic of bombers i see that the 2x 500lb deals 360 damage, is this like the total sum of damage for both bombs or the damage of one individual bomb

[wind hazel]

again who told you that

[hidden pasture]

should i retrofit helena, or wait for a SR to replace her?

[mighty tulip]

If i’m trying to get combat exp for Anchorage as fast as possible, running a full vanguard of USS will get me there faster right?

[solar lily]

retro helena

[hidden pasture]

aight tks

[solar lily]

yuh

[wind hazel]

she's not a priority

[hidden pasture]

the elite helena tho

[solar lily]

hwell yeah personally

[wind hazel]

retro her when you have excess retro bps and wanna start bossing with 3 BB

[forest palm]

rarity doesn't mean better

[hidden pasture]

now idk what to farm in hard mode

[wind hazel]

whatever you're lacking, farm it

[lost ingot]

hey guys, im a begginer and need sum help. can i ask for help here?

[whole crypt]

depends on what you need

[hidden pasture]

ik i just want to confirm we dont misunderstand another helena if there is one

[whole crypt]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/
these exist

[solar lily]

Technica helena meta? but thats a whole nother thing entirely

js stick with the regular helena for now

[wind hazel]

there's only 1 helena that has retrofit...

[whole crypt]

there is no better boss buffer for early players than Helena

[wind hazel]

no need to complicate things

[hidden pasture]

i just making sure cuz i dont know if theres any

[lost ingot]

everything basically, ive read some guides but im lost asf

ill read these ones that you sent rn

[whole crypt]

you will never find an SR that replaces Helena, just a fleet that no longer needs her buff

[hidden pasture]

aight

[wind hazel]

helena II will replace her

[solar lily]

Helena II in 2077

first gacha UR light cruiser

[abstract ore]

What good UR gear lab should i craft

[solar lily]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/equipment/

[hidden pasture]

we dont have any rn?

[solar lily]

i think this also has smth with gear lab stuff?

but generally if ya want gear guides check that out

[solar lily]

only ones from shipyard and retrofits, oddly enough

[real haven]

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

[solar lily]

thanks

[onyx flame]

ecgc still kinda works just gotta be a bit more bigger brain about it

[real haven]

best to just use suchi's

since if you need a gear guide it is better using the updated one to begin with

[vocal sigil]

is it worth farming the parallel superimposition WA for the HVAR bps?

[onyx flame]

depends on how much you value then tbh it is a fairly niche gear

[woven star]

If this worth then only on low oil fleet

[vocal sigil]

would you happen to know how likely it is to one cycle the meta without them? I only had 2 and I put them on lexi, so yk2's dmg is pretty lacking

this is what I have her on

[woven star]

La9 in 3rd slot and bf109 in first

If this york2 spec

[vocal sigil]

[undone plover]

Worth doing 4x daily runs on it in case u need it in future
It should be added to a shop at some point

[woven star]

Btw I can't one-shot even with them

[vocal sigil]

ty

[onyx flame]

i got 5 hvar but no yk2 or kearsarge

[woven star]

For one-shot u need 44 cv rld so they both can make 4th airstrike. No matter hvar is or not

I doubt 3 strikes can make it

[vocal sigil]

im only missing cv rld tech from the blues so I'm gonna focus on that for my farming

[woven star]

La9 and bf109 little bit behind hvar light dmg. So if you will need i guess 4-5 bars for boss kill they should help. lowest bar was 12 for mee with hvars

[forest palm]

<@&460646206851252224> bot post

[undone plover]

the issue with La9 is it cant 4 strike like HVAR
so it will be a lot behind HVAR because of that

vs light that is

[woven star]

Then bf109. They faster than hvar little bit. Best way to test if u can make 4 strikes

As for me I little bit surprised how la9 with lower dps and higher cd deal more than bf109. Only difference avi stats

[plain saffron]

anyone have opsi guide?

[onyx flame]

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

[plain saffron]

idk i never read one before, asking for a friend

[flint arrow]

Any info on the number of chips from cube analysis?

[viscid swift]

I think it's roughly something like 10-15 chips for every cube spent on the blues at least

for the 30 minute Hs it's something like 30 for every cube spent

[flint arrow]

30 minute H?

[viscid swift]

the Hs that take 30 minutes, pretty rare though

[flint arrow]

I see, thanks for the info

That's less than I'd hope for, but acceptable i will be doing them as long as i have a safe number of cubes for events

[bitter anvil]

What’s the fleet that can do big chungus damage to the Meta?

[viscid swift]

check the pins

[bitter anvil]

[safe nexus]

is it worth to 125 independence? i feel dependant on her

[empty temple]

im stucking at chapter 4-4 what should i do now?

[ivory pawn]

Run 4-1 until you have the levels to clear 4-4.

Tomorrow you can run a low level event stage instead to get levels and event points.

[empty temple]

i just put gear randomly at this time right?

[muted wind]

there is always the quick gear guide, but you probably don't have a lot of stuff on there (though you may have lower rarity variants of it):
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/
for now, it's probably fine to just grind levels

[ivory pawn]

If you have any of the decent budget gears, best to use those. Otherwise slap in something of the highest rarity, and try to at least use auxes with useful stats, like HP/EVA on frontline and FP/AVI/HIT on backline.

[round maple]

Guys I am a total newbie into this but... Should I try to use all recover stamina to finish all notes or prioritize yellow chests notes?

Also is it still worth even starting operation siren if everybody is over 5 years ahead? :/

[onyx flame]

opsi reset every month (assuming you finish chp 4 of opsi story) and it serves as the main source of your mats for making stuff in gearlab

[muted wind]

use the AP restoring items before the reset, they don't transfer

[sweet delta]

Well do you want to be 5 years behind or 10 years behind?

[round maple]

True

[viscid swift]

and why would being 5 years behind matter, PvP in this game is a joke

[round maple]

So I can freely use all of these for these 6 days right?

[muted wind]

yes

[round maple]

I can't even beat 14-1...

I have a ton of golden things to upgrade from weeklies throughout the years

[empty temple]

how can i distinguish which ship on the frontline and which on the backline?

[round maple]

I decided to try to realy lock in into recovering my account

[onyx flame]

filter by main (back)/vanguard (front) or look at the hull type of the ship

[muted wind]

admittedly, if you don't want to clear very late endgame, opsi is kinda optional, but if you do... better start late than never.

[round maple]

And what should I buy from the shop

[viscid swift]

might wanna give that a read
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRPJgxnXwC4r3Z8AlbzPUhHDXt0Dr7KP4TPriFnGafQrt1wE7Jb5AdRgfy8tXaLpTC-CtYAVMZgJE0g/pub

[toxic crown]

Just a question, if I use the combat logistics books on war tales D3 does it count as two or one

[round maple]

Thank you guys ❤️

[toxic crown]

I see, was curious about it but thanks yall

[modern depot]

Any suggestions on who I should replace with trafalgar or if I should move any of these ships around. Fleet 2 is my mobbing fleet cause the preloads and healing are nice. Fleet 1 is my main bossing fleet and 3/4 are primarily there for their barrages but can be used as additional bossing fleets.

[viscid swift]

I mean if it clears just fine you why change it

You're already well above the threshold to get through opsi comfortably

[modern depot]

I like trafalgar and if i remember correctly she has a team wide evasion rate debuff on enemies so it would nice to be able to use it. She also provides a cross fleet barrage

[sweet delta]

Drek

[viscid swift]

Yeah but what I'm getting at is that you could swap her out for just about anyone and not notice a difference

[modern depot]

Oh hell yeah, bet bet

[viscid swift]

She also doesn't actually give a barrage iirc, it's just a cross fleet buff

[rain timber]

This is my first time clearing an OpSi stronghold. After I finish the boss enemy and take the stronghold, do I get anything extra (other than XP) from killing those little mass produced fellas over here?

[ivory pawn]

Clear the bosses and get the cat nodes at minimum.
If you want, after you clear the bosses just hit auto. Keep an eye in case you get stuck in the fog (you will).

[rain timber]

I did that and auto tried to go clear all the enemies. Which would take a while and take a bunch of repair boxes. I am collecting all cat stuff and sunken resources and etc.

[tulip tinsel]

i never really got anything more than opsi coins and purple tokens from them mobs

[rain timber]

So killing small guys isnt needed here, thanks!

[forest palm]

it's a nice bonus if you can full auto the stronghold, otherwise may skip it

[timid beacon]

How do people get like 700+ adaptability? Do you just farm the shit out of opsi?

[forest palm]

C1 spam, not like it does anything it's visual fluff

[tulip tinsel]

c1 but that many adapt is useless

[forest palm]

adapts functionally don't do anything past 203/203/156

[timid peak]

Should my fleets more or less be lv 125 before I can clear opsi

[forest palm]

not necessarily, you can do it with 120 ships, maybe as low as 115. Ops content partially depends on your adapts

[timid beacon]

C1 as in corrosion level 1?

Damn so I wasted my adaptability scrolls on purpose then

[flint arrow]

would you say spending the blue prototype currency on 2nd hindenburg gun prints is a good idea? especially considering i dont have moskva gun?

[ivory pawn]

If you’ve gotten all the useful stuff, sure why not.

[tiny goblet]

not that it matters since im well past the point of it mattering but what exactly do the three adaptibilities do? like the first two when i inspect them say -30% on what i assume to be attack and health for the enemies but what does the last one do?

[viscid swift]

Improves your own ships' healing

[tiny goblet]

i see, so its says 100% because thats the amount of healing you get from your ships?

[sweet delta]

Your healing effectiveness is multiplied by 70% to 100% depending on the tactical adaptability

[tiny goblet]

i see, got it, thank ye

[glossy granite]

When we getting free skins like with farmer Nakhimov 🙏 😭 😭

[viscid swift]

that one was a collab

[glossy granite]

Really? I dont remember it being collab

[viscid swift]

it was, with a Chinese organization

[forest palm]

Pocky Belfast outfit still top tier

[glossy granite]

This server obssesed with this

[tiny apex]

if i have the game on my phone can i keep it on my pc emulator too or do i have to relog and do the download every time ?

[forest palm]

you don't have to relog

[tiny apex]

so i just can play in both whitout worrying about anything ?

[clear harbor]

You can only play on one device at time. When you log into a second device, it'll kick you out of the first. There's also some information saved locally, like load outs. But other than that I haven't run into any issues.

[sweet delta]

Don't need to enter the log in information every time, but of course you can't actually play the game simultaneously for double or quadruple farming

[flint arrow]

is +10 soyuz gun better vs heavy than +13 triple 406 mk7? i know its a better gun but i wonder how do enhancenment levels play into it

[tiny apex]

yea i just wanted to know if for example i can play on the pc while im watching something and at the same time play it on my phone while im on the bus

[ivory pawn]

Should be close, but Soyuz gun still on top. Soyuz is more noteworthy for Med anyways.

I might be underestimating the extra FP tho, I didn’t look too deep into it.

[sweet delta]

I think burn is more than 20 FP

[sweet delta]

I would take the mk7

Assuming there's no other source of standard BB burn in the fleet

[flint arrow]

it's lion vs 13-4 HM taihou with no other BB and me not owning any other recommended heavy gun

actually i have the champagne gun i just assumed its not worth the craft if in the same cell

will try with 406 cuz i lost with soyuz gun twice so far (albeit close) so maybe it makes the diff

[sweet delta]

I'd say champ gun is overall better than Soyuz gun

[viscid swift]

I doubt one gun change will swing it

[sweet delta]

Just not enough for a full tier difference .
And since your mk7 is +13, it's better

[timid vortex]

Do I get slots from buying these?

[wary hawk]

You do get slots from buying those

[undone plover]

30 dock slots at lvl 15 yeah
the rest i dont remember but dock slot is the most important one

[tulip tinsel]

is shimanto(fs5) worth the 125 uncap?

[little tree]

Do you need another AA carry ?

[tulip tinsel]

probably yes

[woven star]

I think Shimanto worth everything

She's probably better SanD

Not just AA but all other her skills

[flint arrow]

im wondering if i should invest into her... does w15 and w16 require strong AA carries?

[woven star]

Can't say about w15-16 but maps with BBs enemy on backlines it's definitely worth. Like w14H

[crisp estuary]

[little tree]

How good is bayard fs5 ~~ is she just a other avg gold ship~~

[rain bobcat]

for skins the page will be updated within 10hrs of update when update comes. I can't do it because my PC wont fkin post and I still have to diagnose it after I get home from work

[ivory pawn]

Above avg, iirc she was the top SSR vanguard DPS with it. Or close to at least.

Very useful for w14 specifically.

[little tree]

What about 14 H

[ivory pawn]

She worked well for me in 14-1H, but maybe I should stop slacking and finish the other stages.

[little tree]

I almost have her leve 120 and might start using her she is fs5

[tiny goblet]

i suppose then i have yet more reason to finish her blueprints aside for my love of the iris

[stark quiver]

good

[little tree]

thank you mister alpha

[stark quiver]

[lost ingot]

im new 2 the game, wheres the event banner that everyone talks about? i have to level up to see it?

[tiny goblet]

banners arent limited to level as far as im aware, it might be tommorow?

[ivory pawn]

There isn't any atm, next one starts after maint ends tomorrow.

Should be in about 17 hours ish? I didn't actually check the end date, am probably off an hour or two.

[tiny goblet]

daily reset and therefore maintenance starts in 9 and a half hours, maintenance runs for 8, so yes about 17

[wind hazel]

new banner starts in <t:1774537200:t>

sounds wrong

[tiny goblet]

that would be correct

[ivory pawn]

Is it not an hour late?

[wind hazel]

incorrect england

[ivory pawn]

DST might be throwing me off.

[wind hazel]

you sohuld still skip it. save your cubes for UR event on May

[timid peak]

Is event banner on top of light or heavy pool

[regal flax]

How does rerolling work in this game? I didn't find any guides

[ivory pawn]

Don't bother cause there's literally nothing worth rerolling for.

[regal flax]

Wdym

[ivory pawn]

If for some reason you still want to, then unfortunately idk.

[regal flax]

Can't I reroll for a ship I like?

[ivory pawn]

Unless it's a ship in an ongoing new event, you'll get them sooner than you'd think. But fair, I get it.

[knotty jolt]

Account rerolling isn't worth the time and effort for the most part as the game is designed as a long marathon then a short sprint

[regal flax]

I only thought about it because starting with a ship I like sounds better than starting with a few more pulls
I probably need to watch some guides on how the gacha and ship obtainment works

[tiny goblet]

you get way more than enough cubes to pull for ships, especcially when reruns give like 30-40 free pulls just for doing basic stuff

i honestly struggle more with coins than i do cubes themselves

[viscid swift]

you get like 3 cubes to start with

AL is an old gacha game so you aren't front loaded with gacha resources and you're instead rewarded with consistent play

rerolling is also a pain because you can't reuse usernames, though you do get 6 rolls per account basically since progress doesn't carry over between servers

[timid beacon]

Coins disappear instantly

[tiny goblet]

oh quite, gear crafting and upgrading, ship crafting and devoloping/mlb'ing, and pulling(not as much an issue outside of events)

[timid beacon]

Yeah im developing prinz rupprecht because i made a dumb impulse buy and yes it eats away at coins so much im just coining her at this point with the free daily ones

[timid beacon]

What chapter are you in?

[tiny goblet]

working on ch13-3

[timid beacon]

I’d figure it would be easier to get coins on the higher stages

Because it certainly is for me and I’m in 12-1

Shouldn’t you be getting around like 2k range I believe per chapter clear

[tiny goblet]

got a very good mob fleet going with only some minor tweaking needed, but my main boss fleet is severely behind for main campaign, unfortunetly it appears that i must add other factions other than the iris temporarily to further push further in the campaign

[timid beacon]

Oh yeah that struggle is real

[tiny goblet]

i only truly care though to push far enough to get the gems needed for a ring of oath

[timid beacon]

What’s the struggle with the boss fleet I’m just curious

[tiny goblet]

once that is accomplished i will return to form for by then i will have the power and rescources to make my iris yet stronger, and even now they can handle all other content just fine

[tiny goblet]

aa/plane survival

i can destroy my enemies just fine currently but it is glaringly obvious that i must add more to improve upon that weakness for the planes are quite the nuissance

[lost ingot]

uh got it, but whats this?

[knotty jolt]

Ultra rare ship

[regal flax]

where can i see a list of ships sorted by the date they were introduced in the game?

[inland shoal]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/ships?sortType=date&reverseOrder=true

It's mostly (all?) CN dates though

Which were different for the first like 2~3 years

[regal flax]

thank you, i mainly care about the order there way added not the date

[inland shoal]

Well the order is also different in some cases on EN

But again only in the first few years really

[flint arrow]

how do i obtain the thingies to limit break battle pass metas? ofc im saying i didnt complete some of the passes

[viscid swift]

their crystals will be in the meta shop or added in due time

[eternal basalt]

And if from META battles you collect them in the Dossier

[sleek bolt]

guys, how to get princeton meta, if i missed her during prev cruise season?

[soft raft]

You wait for her to be added to the META shop

[timid beacon]

Is there any meta ships that are worth getting ?

[viscid swift]

mostly just tech

[inland shoal]

(The stat bonuses specifically)

[cyan rivet]

Having researched fdg, anchorage, shimanto and plymouth, what else is prio?

[viscid swift]

Shimanto

[forest palm]

they listed Shimanto

[viscid swift]

the rest is just tech then/protocore farming

[wheat ore]

how many blueprints do you need generally for dr ships?

[forest palm]

lol that's gonna take me years then, i got like 15 in a week for meck

4 ~ 6 months at most

[lost ingot]

guys ive read some ppl telling that the best way to spend gems early on is on dorm slots. is this true? its good to focus on buying all of them

[viscid swift]

not all of them

/gems

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Gem Spending 101

Gems in Azur Lane are fairly rare from an F2P perspective. However, the gacha in Azur lane does not require gems and their main usage is expansion of facilities like dorm, academy, docks and depot, as well as buying resources, resource packs, premium items (rings and name change), and skins.

As an F2P, you can get up to 4900 guaranteed gems (3750 for 3* clearing all 15 main campaign worlds, 900 for completing Bands collection and 150 for 8 days login campaign), not counting random gems from commissions or occasional bonuses from events or other sources.

Considering limited availability of gems for F2P players, even if spent exclusively on QoL upgrades, it is impossible to upgrade everything.

This is the recommended way to spend gems as an F2P:

• 3rd Dorm slot (300 gems)
• Dorm 2nd floor (500 gems)
• Dock space (remaining gems)

The main purpose of the dorm is for faster morale regen while grinding. Using ships with 0 morale will receive a 50% exp penalty and lose affinity.

The 2nd floor of the dorm will have the same number of slots as the 1st floor. While it lacks passive exp gain, it has faster morale regen. 3 dorm slots with the 2nd floor gives you a total of 6 slots, which is enough for your whole mob fleet.

Dock space is the biggest constraint for players. While this can help casual players collect all their waifus, there is also practical use in collecting ships - for later levelling to get their fleet tech on reaching lvl 120. These are important for players as they provide crucial additional stats that help players to tackle the hardest content (W14/15, H.Arbiters, CM).

Alternatively, players may consider getting the 3rd Academy slot for faster skill training or more dorm slots instead of just dock space (not recommended).

While players may opt to buy skins/rings with the F2P gems, this will come at the cost of QoL. It is recommended to only buy those with real money 💳.

[real parrot]

I need to wait until next month to reset my specialized core limit. Since the weekly quests refresh one more time this month, is it possible to stack previous unclaimed quests, or do they get removed after the weekly refresh?

[viscid swift]

they just get removed

not that hitting the cap for specialized cores is that difficult

if you play consistently you should hit it about halfway through the month

[real parrot]

I just spam opsi that’s why

There goes 500 cores

[viscid swift]

huh

[real parrot]

Operation siren

[viscid swift]

I know what OpSi is

what I don't understand is why you'd just spam that and let oil sit and go to waste

you'd farm the main campaign/events and when you're down on morale/oil you then spam OpSi

rinse and repeat

[real parrot]

No I do both

[viscid swift]

makes even less sense then as to how you're not hitting the cap earlier then

[real parrot]

Oh that I hit a long time ago

[viscid swift]

then why fuss over saving what amounts to at best a day of farming that you'd knock out anyway

[real parrot]

I’m at a shortage for buying UR bulins and I’m naturally pissed

[viscid swift]

just be patient, besides a good chunk of URs aren't that useful anyway

[real parrot]

Wish I knew that early game

[signal path]

Whats this?

[real parrot]

?

[signal path]

Can I do sometging to still get it?

[viscid swift]

no

there's a cap on how many you can earn per month

Whats the next event?

[viscid swift]

check the patch notes in #game-news

[timid beacon]

No way that’s a thing..

[soft raft]

It has been a thing from basically the very beginning of UR rarity existing

[zenith heron]

Its probably you haven't reached the limit yet due to not grinding enough

You can reach the limit as fast as Half A month within

That is without counting the ones at store, which isn't added to the 5000 per month limit

[toxic crown]

I wish it was raised by a small bit

[viscid swift]

it has been, the cap was raised by 1k and you can get 3k additional from the medal shop that doesn't count toward the cap

[timid peak]

I just hit it for the first time this month lol surprised me

[timid beacon]

Anyone know which one of these two is the better one to make? It’s for prinz rupprecht

[viscid swift]

the kai is a very small upgrade oer the regular 410

[real haven]

This is a bad idea right?

[vale spindle]

Click the checkmark for "reserve blueprints for fate simulation"

then its fine to batch analyze and submit them

make sure you exit the menu first cause not sure if it undos what you already selected or not

[real haven]

I am aware of that, I purposefully unchecked it

Napoli Fate Simulation coming in hot 2035

[vale spindle]

then its a bad idea because all shipyard ships will get a fate simulation eventually you should save for them

[viscid swift]

ehhh

[ivory pawn]

Napoli's might not be the worst idea considering how long it'll take, but only if you actually need the protocore to buy something.

I'd save Aegir's but that's just me. Surely this year trust.

[viscid swift]

I mean the last DR FS we got was Haku like 4 years ago now

[real haven]

Napoli skill is hard to get creeped

[viscid swift]

I rather suspect by the time we get Napoli's FS, if we even get it and assuming the game hasn't EoSed she'll be coinable by then

[real haven]

With Eldrige retro being considered more of a sidegrade

[whole crypt]

I think the bigger question is how much rush are you in getting proto cores

and if you've already exhasuted other core sources

[real haven]

Ironically never finished the handbook so y'know what

[vale spindle]

protocore purchases are also time gated or one time only too anyways

[real haven]

I'll just finish that first

Level 97 btw

[whole crypt]

I'm not saying more DR FS's are coming any time soon but it's still easier to have the prints waiting for it than needing to get the prints again or wait for daily free/discounted prints

it's not like there's anything you need to regularly and repeatedly buy from proto shop a lot

[real haven]

True, only main thing would probably getting Ply's gun for Ply herself

[viscid swift]

did you only buy a few BPs to finish off your last La9 or something

[real haven]

Yeah, tbh I don't even need to do batch since I alr have enough

[viscid swift]

how much is "enough" here

[real haven]

barely.

oh well i still have a full handbook to finish

[whole crypt]

handbook and cruise CDPs are always first to go for proto cores anyway

[real haven]

I might actually use series 6 for actual ship xp

since my oil count is low, Kear and Hinden will be a good time for me to save up some oil

[viscid swift]

well that's always a bad idea

[real haven]

I need the 2 week buffer of NOT spending oil to restock

[viscid swift]

what on earth are you gonna save for

and anyway, it's not like you need to finish the missions asap

[real haven]

considering i need to go for PR8 next, a 2 week buffer grind for BPs and oil restock isnt the worst idea

[viscid swift]

what

[real haven]

rn im taking the route of nakhimov -> dr6 -> dr8

since dr6 bps are pretty much available

[viscid swift]

if you take a break from grinding XP you're gonna overcap on oil in a few days

[real haven]

for dev30

[viscid swift]

so you're just wasting oil by not grinding

[real haven]

gonna take that sweet bit of time to do some 13-14 maybe 15 for more gems

need that dock space still, always do

[viscid swift]

that's not gonna eat your entire oil supply for 2 weeks

[whole crypt]

event after maintenance today anyway

[real haven]

fair ig, tho i could also split

[wind hazel]

hi, any datamine

[real haven]

instead of pr6 -> pr8 directly it can be smth like burger -> burger

[viscid swift]

can't you check?

[real haven]

and then kear -> leeuw

[whole crypt]

a bit early

[wind hazel]

i checked, there isn't any

[real haven]

1 week sounds rather fair tbh

[wind hazel]

what time is cn maintenance? now or 1hr later?

[real haven]

enough time to restocking and screwing around a bit

[whole crypt]

started 39 minutes ago

[real haven]

before locking tf back in

[viscid swift]

also friendly reminder C1 farming is a thing

that's a decent chunk of XP

[real haven]

true, and doesnt cost morale

not the fastest tho, but as if i have a choice with my 2k oil (legit)

[viscid swift]

I'm sure you have plenty in you mail storage anyway

[wind hazel]

i have mail storage oil now

the trick is to have a job 😂

[real haven]

drained

That is why I even need buffers

[viscid swift]

I mean again, buffers for what eventuality exactly

[sweet delta]

for an event that drops bps of a new UR gear

2 new musics

[real haven]

oil stockpiling (and bp prepping)

[wind hazel]

oo it's out

[viscid swift]

Time to get to work

[real haven]

Indeed, time to get some more BPs

[viscid swift]

I mean to get BPs you need to spend coins which requires you to grind

[opaque galleon]

How long until datamine?

[viscid swift]

now

3/25/2026 CN Datamine

will be machine translated though

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 aux look kinda pepega

[real haven]

use deepseek for translation, its abt as accurate as you can get

[real haven]

im talking abt event shops

I'm prestocking DR8s

[viscid swift]

you know you can start an event with 0 oil and still get 55k event points by the end right

[wind hazel]

another fast load ship

[real haven]

Huh, how will that work, enlighten me

[viscid swift]

weekly oil packs, commissions, etc get you enough oil over the course of the 2 weeks

[late flame]

-# and touching grass

[forest palm]

💳

[real haven]

right, those

[timid beacon]

So if you have a lot of oil your fine

[forest palm]

milestone grind is fairly simple, especially nowadays with bonus point map clears

[whole crypt]

bonus clears don't exist with SP events off the top of my head
for normal events it's also only on normal, unless rerun

unless you're grinding without oil cap for some reason 55k is rarely an issue anyway

[sweet delta]

what are Nayoro, Kizu, and Köln META eHP

[short vine]

Is there a way to get this or am I fucked until the event reruns
Essex retro item*

[inner delta]

have to wait

[short vine]

Riveting

[onyx flame]

well its not that long at least, only about 5 months

[clear harbor]

Sometimes when I try to limit break with my last yellow bullin, my game will say something like "This is your last ship of this kind, enter a code" like I'm using a UR bulin. But sometimes it doesn't make me go through that. Has that happened to anyone else?

[weary edge]

i think there's a setting for that

you should be able to turn it off

[north gorge]

Yes the setting is in the retire options

[clear harbor]

Thank you. I must have turned it on by accident.

[whole crypt]

# ⛏️ is up

[slow fox]

okay suchi

[tiny apex]

Is the patch to add content in or just to update the game ?

[tulip tinsel]

New event

[brisk dragon]

i feel like i saw a collab announcement not long ago. DoA? any news on that?

[whole crypt]

not yet but I'd expect April

[brisk dragon]

i only have 66 cubes rn
i guess for the first time in like 5 years i have to skip an event

didn't even manage to get last UR :c

[whole crypt]

up to you, this will actually be the second rerun but the usual "we don't expect rerun for collab"

[brisk dragon]

is it just me or AL been dropping new events much quicker than they used to?
or i been too unlocky that i'm always in less than 100 cubes

[brisk dragon]

just a rerun or might include new ones? cuz i got all previous doa

[whole crypt]

new events with build are always end of month so same 12 every year

[whole crypt]

we don't know

[brisk dragon]

i guess i been too unlucky then. cuz i feel like i'm not getting nearly enough cubes for those small events

[whole crypt]

there's fair chance of it being 2-3 new ships like last time

[brisk dragon]

i see

[whole crypt]

no idea how you've been spending but 5 years should have been enough to get a healthy stockpile if you don't spend cubes where you shouldn't

[strange olive]

Proud to say I got my account back UwU

[eternal basalt]

We got 2 in Febuary though

[whole crypt]

CNY is weird

also that one's light pool and unimportant

[eternal basalt]

Usually is the january

But now we got 2 with full cost + CNY

[clear harbor]

So reruns are usually at the beginning of the month?

[eternal basalt]

Except the DoA who probably takes a new event slot

[clear harbor]

I'm just thinking ahead to Alsace rerun. I'm going to be travelling beginning of June. 😬

I'm probably overthinking things, though.

[eternal basalt]

Don't miss out CN anni

[clear harbor]

When's that? End of June?

[eternal basalt]

End of May

[clear harbor]

Oh, I should be fine for that, then. And honestly, it's not like i won't be able to play while traveling. I might just struggle a wee bit with event points.

For banner pulls, in theory I can just stockpile a bunch of coins.

[whole crypt]

what event was Jan again

reruns are usually early-mid of a month, needs to be after event ends

[north gorge]

Guan + Laffey II rerun was after Lex II event

[clear harbor]

Whoa, time is a blur.

[eternal basalt]

I heard that San Diego is bugged rn. What kind of bug is it?

[onyx flame]

#gameplay-help message

[whole crypt]

is thorin writing up his mini-mine

[scarlet cosmos]

how is mogador late game?

[whole crypt]

high DPS but not very much more than that

her lunge has a minor stun which we kind of coped with 2 years ago but nothing really important

[scarlet cosmos]

hmm is she usable at least? i dont have her mlb at all. not sure if i should full mob her or hold off

my moskva already mlb

[onyx flame]

wait cause her rerun coming soon ™ and you can at least save on ur bulins

[tiny apex]

guys when should i start worring about cats ?

[stable badger]

there are better options. but we won't know if you don't say what you could mlb instead of her

[scarlet cosmos]

all my urs minus DRs are mlb

she is my only option rn

[scarlet cosmos]

oh, do we know when?

[onyx flame]

at the min get 2 sr cats to level 30 for opsi
you can start worrying about then much later tbh

[tiny apex]

what do they give important i kinda ignored them till now

[onyx flame]

approx like may or june? a tad hard to predict that far ahead but shes next on the list since its alsace event next

[onyx flame]

cat nodes in opsi gives mats, higher rarity + level gives better odds

what's the tech report

[muted wind]

Kizu: ACC/TRP
Nayoro: ACC/TRP
Unryuu: 2 HP/AVI
Köln META: HP/HP

[forest palm]

nothing too big

[hushed delta]

2 "free" ACC points be lookin kinda juicy ngl

[tiny apex]

gme is back up in 2h and 30 min ish right ?

[muted wind]

yeah, it should be

[plain saffron]

6 or 8?

[viscid swift]

8

[plain saffron]

thanks

[soft raft]

What

[wind hazel]

he asked whether 6 feathers are heavier than 8 steels. cheeky replied 8 steels are heavier, and he expressed his gratitude on his new profound enlightenment

[ivory pawn]

Oh, I thought it was hours of maintenance, that makes more sense.

[soft raft]

lol

[whole crypt]

nagami is a 🐳 now?

[wind hazel]

he did it for science

[plain saffron]

blame the bad UI

[regal flax]

where can i see server population? im not sure which one to pick

[plain saffron]

you can't, pick any doesn't really matter if you have friend pick same as them, maybe someone know which server have good ship in medal shop right now. also it's maintenance right now

[ivory pawn]

Can you even get 80+ medals in your first ~5 days?

[plain saffron]

ouh right it's end of month so pick any i guess

[regal flax]

i assumed little enterprise would have the most players being the defau;t option

[muted wind]

that's just the newest

[ivory pawn]

Can confirm Lil Enty has enough players.

[regal flax]

oh, any idea why they even make diffferent servers? i havent seen this in any game

[plain saffron]

i would assume it's the lowest because devs wants you to go there

when there's too many players they opened new server, old tech

[onyx flame]

you can

[regal flax]

avrora has the most nice sounding name ill go with that

[vocal sigil]

multiple small servers are cheaper than a huge one

[plain saffron]

they even have separate server for ios and android back in the day for CN

i think they still do but now you can transfer your account

[whole crypt]

I wouldn't necessarily say it's cheaper they're potentially virtual servers anyway

but smaller population is easier to manage load

[plain saffron]

probably because of the way they designed it

[muted wind]

i would not be surprised if it was just one server in the backend anyways

[plain saffron]

prob nope considering only some server got fucked during micro medley

just add more server it'll fix the problem

[soft raft]

"Just add one more lane to the highway bro, we'll finally fix the traffic problem this time"

[stark quiver]

Who do I exchange for

[woven star]

Do I need all 6 ships different faction or at least 2 faction will be enough?

Yes. It said "all" but want to be sure

[muted wind]

unless the spaghetti is wilder than expected, this looks like it actually needs different factions for each ship, as stated

[timid beacon]

I’m not suuure but musashi is better than nj imo shinano is also good idk abt the other options tho

[wind hazel]

vanguard for EX lv1 tryharding

[spark girder]

how does unryuu compare to enterprise chat?

[wind hazel]

ask again in another day

[flint arrow]

why tf is l indomptable on rateup

[muted wind]

rate up padding

[woven star]

And any guide for this?

[muted wind]

looks at time
-# it's been 18 minutes, my man

[woven star]

Datamine

[muted wind]

nobody is gonna bother datamining event specific stuff honestly

[exotic sorrel]

Depends on who you currently have in docks

[woven star]

I usually slowpoke. So thinking someone passed already

[sweet delta]

I'm not complaining that I got 3 lindoms before nayoro

Now I only need 2 more

[flint arrow]

isnt she an old af ship

[plain saffron]

did anyone figure out yet what the numbers means

[flint arrow]

well in any case it just pissed me off cuz i got 2 of her and no unryuu q.q

[stark quiver]

Already have that
I got musashi to raise

[sweet delta]

Yeah 92 years

[plain saffron]

[flint arrow]

exactly i already mlbed her in 1944

so shes jsut ruining my pulls

[sweet delta]

she isnt ruining your pulls if her 2% would have been split across like 30 SRs anyways

[muted wind]

yeah, the other new ship is 2%, and 2% is 2%

[timid beacon]

No clue if the event pool is worth pulling

[tiny apex]

What are these ?

[sweet delta]

Depends on your cubes and goals

[wind hazel]

aux gear

[sweet delta]

Pressing INFO might tell you

[late flame]

[muted wind]

ew, reading

[wind hazel]

any guide on how to press info?

[late flame]

Needs arrow and circle

[tiny apex]

surry

[soft raft]

Oh yeah event is live
Anything remotely interesting or nah

I've seen the tech but I havent looked too much at their skills yet

[plain saffron]

rough guesses
recruiting each girls adds 1 points except last one which adds 100 for some reason
last branch adds 1000,2000,3000 points top to bottom

ending 1: between 1003 and 1005 points(inclusive)
2: 1102 - 1105
3: 2004 - 2005
4: 2103 - 2105
5: 3000 - 3105
6(common/neutral ending?):
1000-1002
1100-1101
2000-2003
2100-2102

[woven star]

Did it

[sweet delta]

https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/

[hidden pasture]

Should i pull for the new SR or just retrofit saratoga

[sweet delta]

The new SR is just a worse independence

[hidden pasture]

Vas

[wind hazel]

other 3 is full of D

[tulip tinsel]

so this banner is easy skip?

[hidden pasture]

So buy independence? Or saratoga is enough?

[wind hazel]

if you can afford indep then she is a big upgrade

[hidden pasture]

Yeah i can, but i havent buy all the red item in the core shop

[crystal ore]

So since people said all 3 ships in this event suck. Should I do the 3 pulls mission on the event ship or on light banner??

[wind hazel]

but iirc you already have saratoga retrofit, so you can get indep later on

[plain saffron]

how to get all endings

1: at chapter VR-2 choose "Turn yourself in"
2: recruit everyone but skip last one and choose 1st option
3: recruit everyone and choose 1st option
4: recruit everyone but skip last one and choose 2nd option
5: recruit everyone and choose 2nd option
6: recruit everyone and choose 3rd option
7: recruit 1 girl that's not the last one and pick 1st or 2nd option

Edit: simplified the "guide"

[hidden pasture]

Havent retro sara

[wind hazel]

wtf scammaz

[soft raft]

You're likely better off just doing 1 light per day if you have less than 400 cubes

[crystal ore]

Yeah that's fair

[plain saffron]

can you screenshot this, i want to know if there's 6 or 7 endings total and what's the lst one if it's 6

[wind hazel]

is this just meme or my sorting is bugged

[plain saffron]

another ending, at 3rd chapter choose "Turn yourself in"
So 7 ending total

[plain saffron]

thanks

[woven star]

2 more girls when turn in. Yes

~~and this Nayoro skin... seems game changes ~~

[timid beacon]

Just got Janus she any good? I don’t have any other good damage dealing ships for my second fleet besides maybe laffey retrofit 😭

[worn aspen]

Any advice on how to clear escort mission lvl 95 in daily raid section?

[soft raft]

Meh
She's not even really known as a damage focused ship, she just kinda exists

[whole crypt]

do you need a second fleet I don't remember what your progression is

[timid beacon]

I mean I’m in W12 but stopping there to raise my other ships

[whole crypt]

if you're just leveling ships pretty much shouldn't matter but Janus doesn't do very much

[timid beacon]

Guess another ship to mlb for tech points then

[late flame]

Or level better ships*

[vocal sigil]

is anyone else having issue with ending 4? tried with 2, 3 and 4 recruits then getting the final one and nothing

[late flame]

-# way past my bedtime now so i'll just copy homework later kek

[haughty geode]

Any guides on how to get the endings to the story?

[stray crane]

what are the 7 endings ?

[wind hazel]

here

[onyx flame]

manual it, pack more cv to clear screens

[sweet delta]

That's what I was saying

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼

[elfin hollow]

To do hard mode and ex mode in events do you have to 100% normal maps

[tulip tinsel]

ex unlocked on D3 clear

[onyx flame]

this event doesnt have im pretty sure its an sp event

[timid vortex]

is there a reason to 3 star event nodes? I don't see missions for them

[onyx flame]

there the usual 3 star mission rewards

[timid vortex]

damn. Is it worth 500 oil

[onyx flame]

i mean you can low cost the normal version which will cost you like less than that

[whole crypt]

you can do T1 and T2 with less than 100 oil

[sweet delta]

Cost me like 12 oil

[whole crypt]

something like that

[timid vortex]

[sweet delta]

I don't remember if it was 3 or 4 extra mobs

12 or 16 oil with a 4 oil fleet

[whole crypt]

T3 with dual mahan

T2 is like 30

[timid vortex]

I don't have giga powerful lvl 125 ships, so no cheap sweep for me

[onyx flame]

just 1 unicorn and your starter dd can somewhat cheap sweep alr

[sweet delta]

When they learn that level 125 is worse than level 70

[onyx flame]

maybe they know it need crossfleets

[grizzled sundial]

How practical is the event shop aux ?

[whole crypt]

I'm fairly sure the giga powerful lv125 ships can already cost you 40 oil for a single fight not the whole run

[empty temple]

Any team suggestion? Or i just put randomly?

[stray crane]

what u mean by the rest ?

[whole crypt]

team suggestion for what content and what other ships do you have
