[late flame]

nope

[wind hazel]

some of them are good but it's hard to raise them as a newbie

they require their own materials for enhancement, and you need to do meta showdown for their meta crystals if they are from there, or need to buy their crystals from shop if they are from event

[late flame]

+by the time you can use them, you'd have gained access to* better alternatives, i.e. research and/or rainbow/gold SRs

[boreal merlin]

best cl waepon for light arm?

ca*

[median jetty]

Aside from cassin, downes, and ranger, who are the common/rare ships that are worth keeping just for low cost farming of materials. I'm planning to build 2 fleets for it so I need recommendations from each class.

[tulip tinsel]

unzen gun

[wind hazel]

z20/21

and more Rangers

[vale flicker]

if i already have a ship at max exp, do they contribute to exp for research

[rain vine]

/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.

[vale flicker]

thanks

[spark girder]

guys do we think unryuu is better than enterprise?

[hollow gust]

Fuck no

[shy quartz]

Does anyone know how to get this ending? I tried various ways.

[exotic sorrel]

How reliable is Helena Meta's slow?

[hollow gust]

She gets stat checked by a ship from 2018 and all she can offer is a partial preload which is a downside if you want to use her as a single target bossing carrier

[hollow gust]

Might as well be non existent

[exotic sorrel]

Cuz I read her skill she does it every 15s (100% at max level) for 3s

[hollow gust]

Treat Helena meta as a anti light dps, cause she sucks at everything else

[exotic sorrel]

Ouh alright then 😓

[hollow gust]

She sucks as dps compared to everything else too

[exotic sorrel]

Her debuff also sounds really horrible... It makes the enemy take more dmg but only has a 30% chance of doing that 😭

Meanwhile Roon muse' is guaranteed

[viscid swift]

30% per projectile that hits

[rapid grail]

z20 & z21 comparable to them for lowcost farming?
also do they cost the same oil cost as lb0 cassin/downes?

[wind hazel]

it's more offensive variant, since they want mog gun as their skill boost AP dmg. same cost as mahan class, same 0lb lv70 stuff

[lucid dirge]

there i can get endings guide?

specifically for endings 1 4 and 7

[inner delta]

pin

[lucid dirge]

thanks

[junior pasture]

If i wanted to make a "Little" fleet which are best

[hollow gust]

FDG Shinano
Anchorage

everyone else is trash so use what u want

[junior pasture]

I have little Eugen , Enterprise, Friedrich, Zeppy, Amagi-chan

[hollow gust]

how are you plannong on making a little fleet if you dont evenn have 2 vanguards...

[junior pasture]

I am getting ideas on the actually good ones before I do it at the moment

[hollow gust]

the thing is every single little ship are bad, there are some that are just less trash

[zenith stag]

can someone explain to me the pinned message guide for ending 7? i've tried recruiting 0 and still not hitting the ending

like what does 'the rest' mean

[ivory pawn]

Just recruit no one and choose any option for ending 6.

Turn yourself in during VR-2
Recruit all the girls but the last for options 1 and 2
Recruit all the girls including the last for options 1 and 2
Recruit all the girls for option 3
Recruit none of the girls and chose any option

[twin lake]

just do this, just got all endings with it... holy confusing pinned msg, df

[wind hazel]

yes it should get update

[zenith stag]

tq

yea ppl above were just saying look at pinned, but doesn't really help when pinned isn't clear lol

kinda sad that being captured by nayoro is not its own ending

[ivory pawn]

Pin's accurate at least. Just too much detail except 6 with too little detail.

[wind hazel]

having to do this 7 ending shit is worse

[wind hazel]

[junior pasture]

Horrible... stremitelny and glow worm are just baby sitting

[hollow gust]

Use it if you insist it , all I'm gonna say is that basically all those little ships are borderline useless . Also pick better babysitters

[junior pasture]

Who would you recommend

[hollow gust]

If you are a scrub then Portland and your original starter ship

[junior pasture]

Oh god I love it as never bothered to use any of these ships in a team before

Moskva and Portland she has the mood of "I hate this whole idea"

[timid beacon]

Is 11-1 better for xp than 12-1?

[sharp comet]

does siren scanning facility trigger with strategic search + auto search for the opsi mission? also on secured zones?

[hollow gust]

technically yess, but u want cogs so 12-1 better

[wraith pendant]

any reason as to why FdG would do vasty less damage to the current meta challenge than to arbiter NM, whereas Musashi does roughly the same amount ? is there some mechanic I'm not seeing ?

[hollow gust]

You can't really compare damage like that , considering the two bosses fights last different amount of time

[wraith pendant]

yeah I get that, but she does something like 4 times less damage from one to another

[whole crypt]

gear issue, not hitting, etc

[hollow gust]

Are you using AP gun in FdG

[whole crypt]

this month's arb is hermit so that's heavy armour

regensM is light

[wraith pendant]

I understand the gear part and all, I was just wondering why she would do far less damage from one fight to the other, but it might be that she's just not hitting, since arbi doesn't move much, where meta is quite fast

was just wondering if there's a specific stat responsible for this

aside from gear

[whole crypt]

if you're using an AP gun for hermit and not changing that for RegensM it does absolutely dogshit damage on light

[wraith pendant]

I'll look into that, thank you very much

[whole crypt]

AP guns are usually around 40-50% mod on light

it literally deals less than half the damage it would for heavy

[wraith pendant]

yeah I just noticed, should have looked into that in the first place

is it worth it to craft the 410 kai over the normal 410 for musa ? I mean, is the gain much noticeable ?

[whole crypt]

it's not much but the upgrade is cheap as hell

[wraith pendant]

right, I'll grab it then, no reason not to

[narrow arch]

Shinano is good right?

I have the choice between her and new jersey from a letter thingy I got from missions

[flint arrow]

ye

[narrow arch]

Is shinano a bossing or mobbing fleet character

[forest palm]

how are the new Aux in the event shop?

[whole crypt]

boss but you won't have any use of her or NJ early on

[ivory pawn]

#gameplay-help message

[wraith pendant]

right, tripled FdG damage against meta by switching to a light BB gun, thanks again for the help

[flint arrow]

why the reward for 100k points is only a rainbow box

that shit is barely worth anything no? seems kinda backwards to be the last reward

[sweet delta]

considering the average player can't even grind 10k

[whole crypt]

because you're not meant to grind 80 and 100k

they're just stretch goals and don't mean much

[flint arrow]

ok

[cobalt gate]

55k is basically where you can get most of the shop and good milestone

[jovial falcon]

What to do when ship deck is full?
I mean as in full but u dont have anything to expand it.
N all r locked as in thy r the 1st copies.
Use all blues as exp?

[onyx flame]

retire easy to acqure ships like blue map drops ones
use the greys to enhance other ships

[jovial falcon]

All grey ones to enhance?

Or leave specific grey ones?
I mean are any of them limited. as in one time gotten...idk..

[soft raft]

None of the commons and rares are

We haven't had a new rare in like 5 years at this point

Also only use Commons for enhancement, you can scrap rares for medals which is what you should be doing with those

[onyx flame]

~~rare rares ~~

[jovial falcon]

I see.. thx for that

[vital cloak]

how do i unlock Little friedrich fully?

[spark girder]

click events and look at it

it’s just do sorties like a thousand times tho

[vital cloak]

i see, i thought it would be like, complete the event to unlock it fully

[onyx flame]

I mean it is basically that, you need to earn trust from doing stages and once you collect 1000? Trust you get her unlocked
It is timegated rm thou

[astral dust]

did anything change with the meta fight? my fleet that i was using the whole time just insta die now

[sweet delta]

your gear changed

[astral dust]

i didnt touch anything on any of the ships

[undone plover]

if they insta die someone is getting 2 stacks cuz your stats changed
check gear and fleet tech

[rapid grail]

new meta new gimmicks

if someone on the frontline gets 2 or more stacks, gg to your runs. try setting ships and gear in a way where each ship gets 1 stack

[astral dust]

oh okay thank you i will check it out

[narrow arch]

Im at w 10-2 so yeah probably not

Im just now really trying to get into opsi

[timid beacon]

CVS give the most amount of fleet tech points when mlb compared to other ship types?

[hollow gust]

Either CVs or BBs

[timid beacon]

Should I use all 343 blueprints for anchorage on the dev level or the fate sim

[sweet delta]

you can't choose

i would recommend not doing more than 10 blueprints per day with coins. they're quite expensive

[timid beacon]

Oh yea technically I can’t what I meant was if I should use them for development now or just coin her then use all blueprints on fate sim

[sweet delta]

if you plan to use the catchup bps on Anchorage instead of protocore anyways, then might as well use them earlier than later

then you can get her to dev 30 (usable) quicker

[vital meadow]

how do i get all the endings in the event story?

i turned myself in plus i recruited/not recruited the last girl and then chose all options 1-3 for the last story but only got 6 endings

[sweet delta]

recruit nobody

[vital meadow]

and then what option do i choose at the last 1?

[timid beacon]

I mean I am going to do catch up for the fate sim so your saying I can use the blueprints for dev 30

[sweet delta]

there's no difference between dev 30 and dev 35 in terms of what kind of bp you use

[timid beacon]

There’s a dev 35

[sweet delta]

fs5

[timid beacon]

Ah alright so I’m all good to just use all of these on dev 30 then thanks sushi

Cuz I bought the voucher and the blueprints needed

[sweet delta]

since you bought the anchorage pack, you can use blueprints on anchorage to dev 30. The meta advice after that is to convert the extras to protocore instead of fate sim

[timid beacon]

Thank you sushi I appreciate you

[round sparrow]

I accidentally spent my gems on a skin should I start over?

[sweet delta]

depends on the state of your dock and spent gems

[hard dock]

Should I fate sim anchorage or move on to coining shimanto

[rapid shard]

Shimanto, anchorages FS isnt that big of a improvement

[vapid valve]

Playing the story which out of these 3 get the best ending

Hello everyone, I'm currently facing a choice between picking the free Shinano or New Jersey~ Could anyone please help me pick and build a fleet for her? ^^

[wind hazel]

Question, at what world should I get rid of Helena and start raising a second fleet

[wind hazel]

you get rid of helena when she is lv120/125. second fleet by chapter 9 or 10

[narrow arch]

Ok so im at world 10 and shes close to 120

Ive already replaced Portland with Roon

Who do i replace her with

[wind hazel]

i have no idea who you have

All of my UR, SR, and Elites

[wind hazel]

can raise your adalbert, already mlb

[narrow arch]

Oh yeah I forgot i MLB her for fleet tech

[wind hazel]

why arent you using your maryland, why use the 2LB fransesco

invest in cowpens

[narrow arch]

Because I just threw her into my second fleet just to cap things in opsi

I dont have any investment into a second fleet other than implac

[wind hazel]

what

[narrow arch]

I was told to invest into implacable when I got her for a bossing fleet

[wind hazel]

when was that

[narrow arch]

I dont remember

Her last re run iirc, she was my first UR

[wind hazel]

that's fine

[narrow arch]

What should I replace Z23 with

Ill start investing into adalbert

[wind hazel]

scylla when you have the gold bulin

or you can use shigure. torpedo stat ship, convenient for hard mode requirement

or your prinz eugen lol

[narrow arch]

Really? Prinz? I thought she was bad though

[wind hazel]

yes but she's already mlb

that is why i listed scylla first

[narrow arch]

Ah

[silent zodiac]

From the UR exchange, who is better to grab, musashi or Shinano

[wind hazel]

depends on your dock

what is that supposed to mean

does anyone know what this new 25gb update is about?

[soft raft]

at that size that sounds like a complete asset redownload
but we havent had one announced yet so either they shadow dropped it or you havent played in a long ass while

[daring jasper]

Some time ago I saw on Reddit some people talking about the game had a different RNG per install

[late flame]

huh?

[wind hazel]

there's no rng install

[daring jasper]

They even made this, on the bottom it says this

you do realize that could mean just about anything right?

[weary edge]

btw can someone explain to me what the numbers mean in the armor mod section here? is it talking about % damage based on armor type?

[weary edge]

okay so it's what i thought, ty

[sleek bolt]

guys, what best map to grind Gold Quad Mag torp?
im out of Techbox & Lab Meterial

i expect Divergent D1 best place
but drop rate is 3 bp this week
how Persuit Spee SP3 & Orthant D1 bp drop rate tho?

[wind hazel]

shit drop rate, just farm opsi, craft in gear lab

[forest palm]

Light - Medium - Heavy armor, it shows what armor type it is affective against

[wind hazel]

you dont need more than a max of 6 for practical usage dont worry

sometimes you dont even want them

-# that sometimes is extremely rare

[sleek bolt]

i thought it most economic "bang for buck" mag torp
what else best "mass produce/equip" magtorp btw?

[wind hazel]

what

im talking about how some ship wants other torpedo, like anchorage scylla wdp etc, they can use other torpedo so quad mag isn't always the best choice for your ship

[sleek bolt]

owh, almost forgot about those girl, thanks for clarifying

[narrow arch]

What secondary gear should I put on adalbert

[wind hazel]

uh, you mean torpedo?

or 2nd aux

[narrow arch]

2nd aux

[wind hazel]

toolkit is common

[narrow arch]

I have camo and toolkit

On her rn

[wind hazel]

usually if cls have dd gun option its better to get dd guns

[spark patio]

then i have to take the BB gun ig?

[wind hazel]

minus every one AP gun from the list for every meck gun you own

if you're close to the next one then consider that as one as well

Idk what to do next , I got 6 LA-9s and 3 Mecky already

back to farming plyguns in pr5 research?

[hollow gust]

thats a waste of time, plymouth is grindable

[timid moon]

how long do i have to stay online to get the returnee rewards, the akashi homecoming campaign?

it takes 2 months right?

[wind hazel]

getting more plygun without wasting gear lab materials is not a waste of time

getting more hind gun, la9, or meck, is a waste of time

[hollow gust]

as if i dont have more gear lab mats then ik what to do with

[onyx flame]

343 for pr
513 for dr

[tiny apex]

dayum then im far away from maxing one

i tought 185 would get me far for agir

[onyx flame]

agir can be coined, so you shouldnt be on research focus 4

[tiny apex]

im way to short on coin

i need them for everything

in the last week the highest coin i had was maybe 10k

[onyx flame]

regardless shouldnt be on focus that isnt 7 or 8

[tiny apex]

i mean its pretty much that or the ship stays dead in the dock for ages to come

[sick kettle]

is there a way to lowcost ts even more? it requires 162 oil per run

[wind hazel]

fill fleet 1 with crossfleet, use fleet 2 to do everything, 150 per run

probably can go even lower with comet but i dont think normal people has a max out comet

[real haven]

is HT3 ideal for XP grinding too?

renhex's works it's just not updated anymore so will be missing newer stuff
I think Mori? shared this earlier there's a newer fork https://twocanoftuna.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

my personal opinion on saving oil for HT3 is if you want to save oil there you might as well just 0LB T3

Hi guys, I'm currently researching Brest and I'm on the second stage of the combat mission, but I'm currently leveling up to 9.1 and it's only increasing by 2%. Should I upgrade to map 12 and use Vanguard with only 2 Iris or Vicha?

[atomic abyss]

go to 12-1 and use a full backline + 3 iris/vichy vanguard

[onyx flame]

or grind at event HT3

[untold sierra]

I wanted to use 3 Vichya on map 12, but my levels don't allow it.

[flint arrow]

is this a reasonable W15 mob setup?

[atomic abyss]

those levels are enough with a sufficiently powerful backline

your backline is not sufficiently powerful atm

[untold sierra]

What do you recommend for the backend?

Although, whichever backline character is on that map, Ilsun will be the MVP.

But how am I going to do that?

Anti air

[atomic abyss]

not a 0LB Vanguard for sure
at least one more high level carrier
the middle slot can be either a BB or CV
MVP manipulation is a waste of time

[untold sierra]

Vichya and iris-like anti-air problems

[atomic abyss]

if you're worried bring 3 CVs in the backline

instead of 2 CV 1 BB

the exp in w12 is significantly greater than anything w9 offers

even without MVP

[untold sierra]

These fleet is good for 12 map

[atomic abyss]

do not use non max limit broken URs, they will be worse than even purple carriers
so dump yorktown 2 and implacable
return unicorn and add a different carrier in

[untold sierra]

All the tumors in the docum are severe except for those that are not MLB.

the first half of the sentence makes no sense

[untold sierra]

Sorry, I spelled it wrong.

Thanks ender

[flint arrow]

im curious if i need a DD at all for w15 mob, my DD lineup is really lacking. yuudachi and trafalgar are the only good ones i got, and it appears yuudachi is not highly rated for w15 according to the regal tier list

[zenith heron]

Do you bother to have a Kurumi and an Eldridge Retrofit lying around?

Kurumi is a good alternative for not having a Laffey 2

[wind hazel]

i'd drop plymouth for another aa vanguard like shimanto

and your brest isnt activating her skill

[timid vortex]

Chat, am I cooked?

[atomic abyss]

No. You actually have the ships

it just takes a really long time outside w12

[timid vortex]

but I won't be able to farm event at my current speed

[atomic abyss]

no matter how fast you exp grind, it'll be faster than getting 513 DR BPs

lol

so take it slow

grind event

[flint arrow]

yeah getting the ship is the quick part 🤣

[timid vortex]

I either take them and farm worse event nodes or farm better ones but without them

[flint arrow]

maybe like this then?

[wind hazel]

not agir

brest was fine you just need uh, iris? gear for her

if you have 57mm that would be perfect for her. otehrwise maybe can use that iris dd gun

138.6mm

you wanna use faster torpedo on shimanto too

something like this

[flint arrow]

don't have these torps :/ only 9/25 bps

and no rainbow shits for the iris AA gun, would the SR iris aa gun do?

also - why breguet over wyvern? the guide puts wyvern ahead in w15

[wind hazel]

better timing

[flint arrow]

[wind hazel]

use this then

[flint arrow]

okay, this i can do (other than the gun on sandy, will stick to z46 gun ig?) hopefully all the oaths and some +13 items make up the diff

thanks for help, will give this a try

[wind hazel]

try and craft some 76, it will help

[flint arrow]

as in the blue gun?

or you mean the rainbow AA

[wind hazel]

rainbow aa

[flint arrow]

i have 1 of these only, was thinking to keep it for boss fleet?

[wind hazel]

cant craft more?

[flint arrow]

im a returning player, my rainbow design and plate situation is completely fucked

[wind hazel]

just try this then

[iron berry]

Well, I just MLB Halford, is she any good? (Not FS yet)

[remote loom]

Guys, is duplicated ship is worth?, like i mean, if i got 2 bismarck zwei, instead of using the duplicated ship to MLB her, i'd rather position her on my second fleet(and the other 1 is on my Main fleet)?

[onyx flame]

no

you cant use duplicates for campaign and opsi so there no point

[remote loom]

Even on different fleet?

[onyx flame]

still not worth rather use the dupe to raise your ship strength up and save a bulin instead

[onyx flame]

not very
https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/20033

[remote loom]

Hmm, i see

[wind hazel]

you can actually use dupe in campaign, but bismarck isn't the ship you want for those kind of purpose

[remote loom]

I see, thx alot pal!

[round sparrow]

Is money the stamina system of the game along with oil? Cause it seems so low in beginners stages

[viscid swift]

coins aren't stamina

[flint arrow]

oil sure, coins i dont think so

its quite easy to upkeep coins from my experience

later on, at least

[round sparrow]

Cause just limit breaking SRs takes 10k

[wind hazel]

oil is your stamina

[round sparrow]

And coin accumulation is like 350 per hour

[flint arrow]

yeah but coins you farm from maps

[wind hazel]

it's normal to have coin issue as a beginner

and you will have coin issue for very, very long time

[onyx flame]

i can attest came back for almost a year and im constantly broke still

[whole crypt]

I continue to have coin problems whenever I bother with cats

[tropic musk]

Note that Coins and Oil collected from in game mail is stored in a temporary storage before you withdraw it.
You might have more gold than you think if you missed this.

[hushed delta]

Has anyone calculated when Hatakaze Meta will be available again? Added to the shop I guess?

[woven star]

1st April in meta shop

[hushed delta]

really? woooah nice

[wind hazel]

uh, what?

she's there, for a very long time

[whole crypt]

not exactly a stock I'd want to dip into for cats

[wind hazel]

wtf am i hallucinating

[peak fable]

do you guys play this event till 55k or 35k?

[wind hazel]

55

[woven star]

Ar this message from future?

[peak fable]

kk ty

[woven star]

finally I can get 26 rld dd

[wind hazel]

oh it's actually locked lol

[whole crypt]

the display could be wonky for people that already have her?

[hushed delta]

I guess it's because you have it already

[wind hazel]

yeah. im seeing it locked from noob account lol

[woven star]

~~press account...pathetic ~~

More funny Koln Meta can boost SS/V. Definitely meta

[chrome fiber]

I don't know if i should progress further into the campaign or not (w13). Don't know what ship to use my current fleet looks weird.

[frail pelican]

which of these two is better on musashi?

[exotic sorrel]

Is it worth using my augment resources to give my submarines their augment module

[exotic sorrel]

First one, second is ahh

[frail pelican]

is the gold one good on anyone?

[exotic sorrel]

Not one ship it's just plain bad

iirc that main gun has a special ammo that causes it to "shower" into mini bullets which misses the target like most of the time, making it really bad

Just disassemble it instantly if you see one

[soft raft]

^

[eternal basalt]

Uts limited gear, get it

[rapid grail]

left one. or rather, the 410kai from gear lab, made w/ twin 410 + some opsi mats

right one is meme and should not be built

[sick kettle]

what are the hulls that benefit the most from the event gears

[rapid grail]

does collabs, tempesta and meta faction count as one faction for each bote? i hear collabs are not counted for this one in particular
i read en skill, just playing on jp alt and got this thought

[rapid grail]

frontliners can benefit from the hp+spd auxes from current event, though they are niche in the sense where you can just spam a combination of toolboxes, rudders and +eva auxes on every frontliner in the game, barring specific content

vanguard vagabond aux posted above by me is good as hit+eva aux. though the game's content that demands this aux in particular is practically none outside of #pvp and certain meta fights

[tropic tusk]

1: 1st option at the end + reeruit 3-5 girl

recruit all + skip last one
Does that mean 3 to 5 girls or number 3and 5?

Ok I got it

[timid beacon]

I don’t really have any other options for a ship to put in my fleet and I was wondering if laffeys augment is any good

[wind hazel]

not worth it

[peak fable]

how do I complete this lol

[soft raft]

check the pins

[peak fable]

ah ty

[real haven]

how do i know which ending have i unlocked again

nvm

so I have ending #1-6 what is the 7th?

[flint arrow]

recruit nobody and select ending 1 iirc

i mean option 1 in last chapter

activate protocol whatever

[real haven]

Current ending unlocked

[flint arrow]

i think i was in same position and then i went to every chapter and un-recruited the girl, and then in last chapter didnt recruit last girl either, and then selected option 1 "activate protocol"

[real haven]

I see, I will try that

[cosmic moon]

are there any tips or guides about staggering or desyncing your fleet? is it based off the reload stat? how much of a difference would be preferable?

[whole crypt]

try changing planes or guns etc, but it kind of depends on what stage you're doing and what ships you have

[ivory pawn]

Just use different planes, aviation beacon, and/or aviation Manjuu for carriers, and use the aux that reduces first shot time on the BB.

[cosmic moon]

thanks, will give it a shot. trying 14-3 hard but my vanguard just instantly melts whereas 14 1/2 were a walkover

[rain vine]

whats your mob fleet?

[real haven]

What is the best mix of plane/ main gun for Soyuz-Nakhimov medium comp?

[whole crypt]

raff gun + La-9s

[real haven]

what if i dont have raff gun

[whole crypt]

meck gun

[real haven]

Will they sync tho

[whole crypt]

drop BB rld if it's too fast

[icy mist]

whats that unlock all endings in the Vagabond`s i got only 2

[cosmic moon]

twas my second attempt at copying someone elses homework

can swap for anything got all the top tier botes i know of 125 except moskva

[whole crypt]

if anything I'd use Eldridge in the mob fleet not the boss

and you probably want something stronger than Noshiro

HammII is a tad fragile for 14H

[icy mist]

Cant understand that guide about the endings

[snow pilot]

how to open ending 1?

[ivory pawn]

Turn yourself in during VR-2.

[ivory pawn]

Turn yourself in during VR-2
Recruit all the girls but the last for options 1 and 2
Recruit all the girls including the last for options 1 and 2
Recruit all the girls for option 3
Recruit none of the girls and chose any option

[whole crypt]

a couple of the chapters have an option whether you recruit a girl, there's even an indicator on the chapter whether you've done it

you can redo the chapters with different options to set the flags for the ending

[icy mist]

i have to view all and recruit all but 1 or 2?

[whole crypt]

and in fact you will need to redo it several times to get all the endings

[snow pilot]

1

[ivory pawn]

There are 6 girls you can recruit, the last one being in the same chapter you make the choice for the ending.

[icy mist]

that 1 or 2 is in VR9?

[ivory pawn]

The first 5 girls are just a “how many did you recruit check”. Just recruit all of them unless you’re going for the failure ending.

The last girl, the one in VR-9, is the one that determines which ending you get otherwise for options 1 and 2.

[icy mist]

i got the 1 and 3 ending

[ivory pawn]

Ending 7 is said failure ending fyi.

[whole crypt]

if you're not sure which you're missing just run through all of them once

[snow pilot]

☹️

[ivory pawn]

Pssst: #gameplay-help message

[snow pilot]

Thanks

👍 👍

[frail pelican]

do you always have to turn yourself in to get all the endings?

[icy mist]

6: the rest ?

the 7 is missing

nvm i did it

[chrome fiber]

I don't know if i should progress further into the campaign or not (w13). Don't know what ship to use. Im lost my current fleet looks weird.

[icy mist]

High AA ships and lvl them up to 120 Sandy+Guam+New Jersey can do the world 13

[chrome fiber]

Okai

Can you name some of the UR ships that i need to get it up to 120?

[tulip tinsel]

lion 125, willy d laff2 guam basically everyone mlb to 120

[grave cove]

Anyone have recommendations for UR exchange? I have Shinano and Musashi so far. Both are MLB

[grave cove]

Ah ty

[timid beacon]

Nj bikini is so goated though

[jolly mist]

I don’t get this. What does “skip last one” and “last one” mean?

[jolly mist]

That makes sense.

Thank you.

[gritty spear]

Lol, is the New Jersey actually weaker than some battleships? If that’s the case, I’m actually a bit scared of how powerful they might be, because even today, despite having quite a few ships of any class, the New Jersey always saves my ass in loads of situations .

As for the Shimikaze , it’s the only ship I actually wanted to write a complaint about, on this channel, lamenting how completely weak it is xD In the end, I held back, and the ship itself got back on track with some hard-earned modules, but it was a disappointment for a long time. It’s just that I generally have some issues with destroyers in this game, and they with me... Anyway, I still think the Shimikaze should get a bit of a stat buff. I don’t know how often, if at all on a more noticeable scale, such things are done here, but it would certainly be advisable.

[sweet delta]

[soft raft]

She was the 2nd UR to ever come out and the first UR BB back in like 2021 so naturally she's been powercrept out the wazoo by not only newer UR BBs but even some modern SR BBs

Unlike with Shinano, NJ simply just has way too much competition within her hulltype

[gritty spear]

Any examples? The Bismarck Zwei is my dream ship, and I hope it’s really powerful. What else is there? I reckon the Musashi is a force to be reckoned with too (well, given the Yamato, obviously, you’d want that kind of firepower), though I don’t actually have any combat experience with it yet (I don’t own her yet, for Bismarck I must wait a couple of months, I guess). But what about other UR ships than these two? Which SRs are stronger than the New Jersey? O_O

[viscid swift]

in terms of all rounders

Bismarck Zwei, Lion, Alsace, Mecklenburg and maybe Soyuz

in campaign you have Musashi and Raffaello as well

[timid beacon]

Musashi so goated wish she had more skins

[hollow gust]

[soft raft]

🆗

[sweet delta]

NJ is still stronger than all SR BBs in more situations

[gritty spear]

Oh, it's interesting that Soyuz is that powerful. I’ve got her, but I haven’t upgraded her yet. I’m familiar with Mecklenburg (I’m not far off unlocking her), though I wouldn’t have thought she is THAT strong. Actually, I completely forgot about Alsace and Lion. I don’t like them, so maybe that’s why It happen. That being said, I’ve heard that Lion is just ultra OP. I’ve even had the chance to fight her, and she really did seem extraordinarily strong.

[viscid swift]

This was recent run against Nagato META

[sweet delta]

if you don't have any experience or judgment capabilities then maybe you shouldn't form so many preconceptions

[viscid swift]

you also might wanna give that look
https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/

[gritty spear]

Perhaps we’ll have to apologise to each other. .

[fleet marten]

"Including Bismarck Zwei"
Damn I guess her use is just her Black Hole Skill and her Pair with MeckBurger

[viscid swift]

that's not what it means....

[fleet marten]

Oh, did I miss something in particular that still makes her useful, or she is still as stable as she was released like Shinano and Yorktown 2?

[woven star]

If you find any vanguard with stun you can kick out BisZ

[viscid swift]

no, you read that completely wrong

"powercrept by newer UR BBs, including Bismarck Zwei"

[sweet delta]

NJ/UvH/VG are powercrept by Biszwei and other newer UR BBs

[fleet marten]

Now I understand, Thanks
Just woke up

[fleet marten]

I don't think there is one that is as consistent as the timing with Zwei, considering Momo and Kurumi are still rng, and if you use slows, still inconsistent as well

[hollow gust]

huh? why would bismarck zwei ever be replaced

[signal path]

What am i supposed to do here?

[soft raft]

There's 4 energy matrixes spread across the map that you have to find and then bring back to those squares

[hollow gust]

you did what you need to do already

[fleet marten]

Its a misconception from what I read earlier, its fine.

[hollow gust]

if you collected the reward in the middle its done

[signal path]

Auto dont wanna Auto anynore even with so much siren ships am I supposed to exit now?

[hollow gust]

for those stages you dont need to clear everythoing

[woven star]

I mean imagine Charybdis got 100% whirlpool, so Meck got some buffs. So if this cover all BBs strikes in theory Alsace can be replace for BisZ

Best what we have Eldridge with 60% slow it's it

[soft raft]

Charybdis sucks complete ass tho so why would you ever use her?
Meck also gets a buff if there's another IB ship is with her which Bismarck Zwei can fufill both that and the whirlpool req

[viscid swift]

a whirlpool that lasts 1 second and is locked to proccing every 20 seconds

[fleet marten]

If it was 100%, but a 75% is still RNG...

[woven star]

I mean in theory if whirlpool cover all bbs stikes.... 3 sec at least

[fleet marten]

Its fine, my mistake got answered already

[woven star]

Yeah. BisZ buff Mek and IB ships in same time. Nothing to change if Meck in fleet

[signal path]

Is it okay to use low cd Main Gun on Soyuz? I mean her skill every salvo seems strong

The Frozen thingy

[fleet marten]

If you use her for Mob I think, then that's fine since the barrage spam

[woven star]

Btw. If we talking about BisZ and Meck. What's better:
Lion, Vanguard, Alsace, Trafalgar
Or
BisZ, Mecklenburg, Lion, Trafalgar?

[hollow gust]

why switch in a Vanguard...obviously she will get clapped by newer URBBs

[soft raft]

Dont bother, the difference compared to normal BB guns is too small to realistically matter most of the time, especially since Helena cant sync with them consistently

low CD BB guns are mainly used alongside normal BB guns for desyncing in campaign

[fleet marten]

Lion to Biszwei and Meck no Question

In Light tho, Lion, Bizwei and Alsace is best, but I believe its too minor of an increase in dmg that its no need to Change Mecklenburg in the BB Comp vs Light

Or so that I've heard

[tiny apex]

What is that thing top rigght 0/60

Kinda never looked into war archivea

[forest palm]

those are keys that let you run War Archive Maps

there should be somewhere on the War Archive menu (think it's towards the top), where you collect 4 keys per day

[whole crypt]

top left, before you select the event

each key allows you to run a single archive stage once

[tiny apex]

And what do i get from these ?

[forest palm]

reread...

[wind hazel]

they are your entry key to do War Archives

[tiny apex]

No i mean i run the stages and then ? What is the reward

[wind hazel]

no key=no run. war archive is just past events, most are shit

[whole crypt]

they have the exact same drops as the original event stages

[wind hazel]

only relevant one is divergent chessboard to get IB ships, or parallel superimposition to get hvar

[whole crypt]

there's no specific reward besides that, and a "pity" copy of the B3/D3 ship drop after running D3 60 times

[tiny apex]

Ah ok

[wind hazel]

passionate polaris or universe in unison if you need commander exp, good grind spot

[tiny apex]

Thanks for the info

[old laurel]

Heya All! Tweaking my faction fleets a bit more just wanted to know if you think they'd work well like this or if I should move around a bit/ replace with another. I have most EU ships minus Windborn steel ships. Also need more fodder for Lex and Laf but just put them in for the example ^-^ currently im using Essex fleet for bosses and Kears for Mobbing. So far so good ^-^

Post edit if there's a gear guide for Laffey id appreciate it x.x

[bleak sequoia]

Thanks. Straight forward and logical.

[soft raft]

Those certainly are fleets
As long as you're aware that faction fleets suck for pushng campaign, that's fine. Alot of shit works in W12 anyways if you're just grinding there

Also next time, dont partially limit break URs, it's either MLB or bust

[old laurel]

Oh yea im well aware, I have 2 push fleets for campaign and yeaaaaaa I kinda got stuck, I got Yorktown, Lex, Laffey, and Guam all at the same time so I had no reserve bulins or dups for them

So Lexington anf laffey have been sidelined for now till theyre MLB

Till then I have Independence and Normal laffey slotted in

[viscid swift]

work for what exactly?

[old laurel]

Grinding campaign and Hard mode up to 14-2, meta bosses, exercise, and OS.

After that I need actual fleets but they do work up to that

[viscid swift]

for just grinding W12 you wouldn't use maxed out ships period

[fast frigate]

anyone know what the next rerun gonna be?

[viscid swift]

exercise it's own beast but yeah you're not gonna make anythong close to meta with that

closest you could get is maybe something like NJ, Lexington 2, Laffey 2, Anchorage, Eldridge but

[old laurel]

Thats fine ^-^ I do understand they cant go far, I just love my EU fleet cause of the history behind these ships:) i have faction fleets for the other main nations too ^-^

[viscid swift]

for the current META the closest you'll get is something like
Kearsarge, Yorktown 2, Lexington 2, Eldridge, Helena, Porter

campaign is yeah I wouldn't even think about it since you have no healer

[old laurel]

Oh for sure x.x I decided to try 14-3 with them and they got royally destroyed XD

[viscid swift]

well, Cowpens but you don't exactly have the dps to clear quickly to make her it quite work with just her

[old laurel]

I've been looking at her and Constellation a bit, was wondering if I should build them next or not

After unicorn that is*

[viscid swift]

Cowpens yeah

[old laurel]

Okay cool! ^-^ thank you! Also is may the next wish event for pulls? Forgot what its called

[viscid swift]

outside of a few ships it's mainly just collection and tech

[viscid swift]

alongside the CN Anni yeah

[old laurel]

Sweet! Can't wait! Last question then ill disappear XD what meta ship from another faction would you recommend? Not sure what i have thats actually good but the most URs I have is EU. RN is Lyon and Tre. IB is just Bismarck zwei, SE I think its just Shinano and the purple fox lady ship? Also Shimakaze

[viscid swift]

might wanna give this a look
https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/

[old laurel]

Ooo thank you! I'll save that so I can refer instead of bugging everyone all the time.

Sorry can you link the gear guide too please? I tried clicking on the 14-4 guide posted a while ago but it wont load for some reason

[viscid swift]

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

[old laurel]

Thank you! That worked this time. Guess looking through the old link on the tab makes my phone have a seizure

Thank you for all the help again! Much work to be done! Hope you have an amazing night!

[wide needle]

Since jintsuu is in dossier and my dossier logger is often full is it worth doing her? I also lack vanguard for OPSi

Jintsuu meta is also tier B in META and I dont have good vanguard for 2nd fleet for OPSI

[forest palm]

you'll likely never use Jintsuu outside of maybe PvP sweat and EX sweat, so if that speaks to you go for it. However, most Dossier Meta are just obsolete in terms of use, so you're just picking what gives the better 120 Tech benefits

[wide needle]

Its also taking 2 regroup to beat stronghold

[inner delta]

taking regroup is fine, its cheap

[ivory pawn]

Jintsuu won't help you with that, but note that you can leave Strongholds, go to ports and heal up, then return to them guns blazing.

[forest palm]

you're also not locked in the Stronghold, you can leave and comeback as you like

[inner delta]

only for the coordinate fight you cant leave

[wide needle]

I mean look at what ships I have at 100+ Most of them is not even worth putting on end game tier list. I just have them now just for tech pts. Only 1 fleet can be said okay

[viscid swift]

I mean that's to be expected

just gotta do the best with what you have

[wide needle]

And I wanna invest on 2nd fleet so Im Finding ships I can get and worth

[viscid swift]

Ark Royal, Helena

leveling ships isn't exactly difficult once you get tp w12

so just work on something even if it does get replaced pretty quickly

[wide needle]

im at w12 but hard mode need torps and thats what I lack on campaign hard. but on normal Im doing okay. which map to grind exp for pr/dr again?

[forest palm]

12-1

[wide needle]

whats to be expect on 12-4 ? gold?

[wide needle]

should I auto or manual kill all mobs b4 boss

[tame chasm]

wait if i just skipped through everything can i still unlock all endings?

[forest palm]

12-1 and 12-4 both function about the same the difference is 12-1 gives slightly more XP per oil while 12-4 give slightly more Gold per oil

also 12-1 is far easier

[forest palm]

also you want to just kill the required mobs, kill boss, rinse repeat

all mobs is a waste of time

[tame chasm]

and what does the skip 2-4 girls or something mean? i’m so confused

[half horizon]

Hello, I have a question, For the Island planner how do i use this?

[half horizon]

it means dont recruit them in story

[tame chasm]

oh

[ivory pawn]

Skip will send you directly to the choice to make for the ending.

[tame chasm]

what does 1st/2nd option at the end mean?

[ivory pawn]

When clearing VR-9, after recruiting the last girl, you're given 3 choices.

[tame chasm]

why did they strike over ‘recruit 2-5 girls’. sorry i’m a little restarted

so do i recruit all or just 2-5 girls?

[ivory pawn]

Because they should've removed it entirely but they wanted to leave it in there for some reason and still confuse people.

[forest palm]

I do find the way it's written mildly confusing

[tame chasm]

so i just recruit all

[ivory pawn]

Yes.

Turn yourself in during VR-2
Recruit all the girls but the last for options 1 and 2
Recruit all the girls including the last for options 1 and 2
Recruit all the girls for option 3
Recruit none of the girls and chose any option

[signal path]

With all this CV and CVL do I still need Independence?

[ivory pawn]

+1 RLD tech alone makes her worth picking up eventually.
I'd say you're not in a rush to get her, but she's still a good pickup eventually.

[viscid swift]

I'll admit personally I find Independence a bit hard to fit into fleets but there's very few ships that are better than her for campaign

And you really don't have any of those ships

[timid beacon]

So this is just for decoration nothing else?

[forest palm]

that thing lies, the second floor has a higher morale regen rate

[timid beacon]

so I could have more slots right now

So you guys recommend second floor? I mean I definitely can buy it.

[forest palm]

however many slots you have on the first floor, you'll have on the second

[timid beacon]

So I could’ve had 8 this WHOLE time

Thanks for telling me this they gotta fix that I was afraid of buying that

[forest palm]

it's been like that for like... 7 years...not on the list I'm afraid

[sweet delta]

welcome to EN, it'll probably never be changed

technically it's not wrong, since the second floor slots are not called "training" slots

[wide needle]

If I dont have centaur or ark royal in the fleet, is it worth using 818 squad torpedo bomber to slow down enemy ship esp. Boss to make sure BB hit each salvo more

[sweet delta]

Absolutely not

[wide needle]

I mean a little bit loss of dmg from torpedo bombers but having my BB Salvo hit wouldd make dmg higher right?

[sweet delta]

In what fleet and content?

[wide needle]

Bossing

[sweet delta]

You don't have any carriers that can reload that fast

[wide needle]

general Boss that are relatively fast

[sweet delta]

It takes 4 seconds for the torpedo to reach the boss

And BBs are naturally faster than CVs

[wide needle]

I observe only 1st salvo hit most of the time on my 2 bb then being mlb for extra salvo is useless if it wont hit right?

[sweet delta]

Actually what do you mean, you have a 40% slow from Soyuz which should be enough for most

[wide needle]

Even with those Boss stil manage to evade

[balmy skiff]

@sweet delta verdict.
who is more useful between ykkz and poi

[real haven]

They have a faster morale recovery, +50/hour per ship and +60/hour for oathed

Due to that, you can really stretch a fleet for XP grind for an extended period of times

[wide needle]

any Meowfficer guide?

[cobalt gate]

Isn’t it yuki with her argument now

[scarlet cosmos]

When should I have SG radar equipped on Helena

[real haven]

When shit hits the fan (and your Helena is retrofitted)

[whole crypt]

the question is why would you compare yukikaze and poitrofit when they do different things and are both irrelevant for top end PvE

[vale stirrup]

I can't get this last one to unlock in the dorm. It's night now and hasn't worked. My sirius is maxed on affinity so there's no energy consumption for touches, but if that's the cause then I can't fix that and this would be forever stuck. I've done touch in all sections of the room

[inner delta]

when you need your first timing to be 16s instead of 20

[scarlet cosmos]

So always then?

[scarlet cosmos]

Oh

[inner delta]

so not always

[scarlet cosmos]

Also, is there a gear lab gear priority list

I’m not sure to prioritize Aa guns or main battery with my resources

[onyx flame]

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

[real haven]

Depends, if air is your main issues, then AA, if not then go for dps

[whole crypt]

the thing about main guns is rainbow 76mm is far more impactful over the next best AA guns in a plane hell environment than crafting a Mk7 would do over just using a Mk6
you can get 1 copy of the 457mm from proto cores

if you're looking at DD, CL and CA guns then the priority is even lower

[scarlet cosmos]

ah so focus on AA right now?

I am having trouble on w16 after all 😭 I can't 3 star 16-3

Also, is there a gear guide for research gear? The ones you get from research focus/pr

Or should I just follow the quick gear guide k

[whole crypt]

if it's problem with ch16 then very likely AA guns will be more impactful

[scarlet cosmos]

thank you!

[whole crypt]

research gear you kind of just keep doing the newest series till you have enough copies of the series' gear, then you can go back and fish earlier series if you want

[scarlet cosmos]

also, is the only way to get t3 ordnance testing report in op sci? Im one away from getting rainbow gear

[whole crypt]

T3 ord reps are 1 a month from port shop but you can also craft up from T2s

[scarlet cosmos]

oh yeah got it

[whole crypt]

the rates are fairly bad though and it takes the T2s away from crafting gold PR gear

[scarlet cosmos]

i have enough to do it, but i'll check to see what gold PR gear I'd need beforehand

[whole crypt]

stuff like flapjacks mostly

[scarlet cosmos]

I think right now I just need to upgrade all my gold gear to rainbow 😅

i have 6 atm

I'll still have enough to craft a flapjack afterwards, i think i'll go for it then

[whole crypt]

primarily should be flapjacks and 155kais, champagne guns fall here but personally I think they're better to buy from proto shop if you still need any

[rapid shard]

Honestly how many Kais do you need?

[whole crypt]

if you need more 457s then the gun before 457 also needs T2s, on top of the T3s the rainbow gun takes

[scarlet cosmos]

are 155 kais best for main guns for CLs besides the rainbow one?

Right now Im stuck between crafting a 457 or plymoth gun

[whole crypt]

3-4 is probably plenty between the BB secondary guns and however many CLs you field that aren't using a q152

[scarlet cosmos]

what is q152?

[whole crypt]

155kai isn't the best but it's the most accessible while being good enough

[rapid shard]

ply gun

[whole crypt]

quad 152mm -> q152

[scarlet cosmos]

ohh i see

[onyx flame]

i mean you could also get away with donskoi gun if you dont wanna make more 155kai

[whole crypt]

both are in proto shop and both aren't super high priority for getting a second copy

[scarlet cosmos]

i didnt realize i had enough to craft 2 donskoi guns (going off gear guide) so i'll go with that

[whole crypt]

donskoi is PR8 so if you've been diligent with the newest series especially to get meck guns then you'll definitely have spare

[flint arrow]

am i bugged, i got my trade license shit 5 times today

[rapid shard]

Restart your game

[flint arrow]

okay indeed restart removed it

[muted wind]

-# remember, the game is held together by dreams and duct tape

[flint arrow]

certainly feels that way

especially on my new phone, whenever i minimize it there's good chance something will be bugged when i open it back up, especially in opsi

tho idk if its my phone or just a game got worse during my time away from it lmao

[scarlet cosmos]

outside of lex ii and naki, is implacable third best time stop?

or is it formidable/avp? i heard formidable did more dmg than implacable but unsure

[muted wind]

the main advantage that implacable has is that her root is reliable. not super sure how the damage compares in practice

[wind hazel]

go test it

[whole crypt]

Implacable damage should at least be somewhat comparable to not-dogshit SRs
AvP is reliable with FS, damage is comparable to Implacable for medium and maybe light, worse for heavy
Formidable is just not reliable

[muted wind]

-# i figured the testing had already been done and i didn't trust myself to read the data from regal correctly

[wind hazel]

apparently implacable shit on the rest

[fluid urchin]

Is there a guide on how to "Unlock all endings in The Vagabond's Recruitment Plan" event?

[fluid urchin]

Oh check pin? Okay

[wind hazel]

ngl the pin one is kinda shit

[fluid urchin]

Ah thank you, I was getting annoy trying different things to get all endings.

[scarlet cosmos]

Is there a vanguard ship that is consistent at slowing enemies? Trying to use one for air strikes

[onyx flame]

eldridge

[real haven]

Her damage is kinda ok? like I'll say relatively good, but not the level that would've been UR worthy?

But her root is definitely one of the most consistent one in the game and requires no additional setup, making her pretty usable for very much any build

and also since she is a perma UR now its only getting easier to run her

[whole crypt]

stoppers are kind of "depends"

[muted wind]

i feel like, even with those considerations, i'd be hesistant to recommend her. i haven't used her in ages

[real haven]

Works well in a Shinano-Amagi comp tbh

[muted wind]

plus, nakhimov exists and doesn't need URins

[whole crypt]

it does but there's no relevant moving heavy boss

[real haven]

cause I am using exactly that and it works, even with rather mid gear and a falling apart front

[whole crypt]

you can nuke hermit with 0 slow

[real haven]

true but eh

i like my wives, so they stay until i need bigger guns

[whole crypt]

that works

[muted wind]

also eldridge slow is usually good enough, so i run triple IJN for heavy unless i really need the root

[real haven]

Nakhimov do require moskva/soyuz to run tho, which means more expensive investments

[real haven]

Lion/Biz/Alsace will sweep whatever is more intimidating

[muted wind]

both of which recently ran, so people are likely to have at least one, and you need 4 URins either way. unless you wanna argue just using dupes for impla, in which case she will take a while to mlb

[real haven]

And unlike imp, they're not permanent yet, Soyuz will be next year at minimal

[wind hazel]

i think the point is that implacable is not the meta pick anymore. just because a boss in opsi die, doesn't mean she's useful. they die to even enterprise, doesn't mean she's relevant anymore

[real haven]

I am recommending based on the fact that some people do NOT have either of them

that is why i said, in terms of cost, implacable is in fact, the cheapest root there is

[wind hazel]

no, avp is

[muted wind]

... yeah, avp is

[wind hazel]

implacable is a wasted resources target

[muted wind]

avp is not as good in terms of damage across the board, but it's a much cheaper investment

[real haven]

oh yeah right i got AvP so late that tbh, I have never even use her at all

Though burger8 would make me use her

Right now she is just chilling in my port ig

[wind hazel]

if you have implacable, you have no reason to use avp
if you have soyuz/mosvka nakhimov, you have no reason to use implacable

this is assuming everyone is mlb

[real haven]

I will make a seperate Soyuz - Nyakhi - Moskva fleet

for targetting med arms

[wind hazel]

waste of time making so many fleets, that's my honest opinion

[whole crypt]

if you plan to play for 10 years little detours are fine

[real haven]

I mean what else is there to do, I like to see wives killing shit

so I'm doing exactly what I want: making a fleet so wives can kill shit

[wind hazel]

carry on, nobody is stopping you

[real haven]

Sure am

Need more oil honestly, been farming HT3 for both currency and XP now

[wheat ore]

why does it say i have maxed out protocores when i try to claim it from the weeklies but i only have 1000 when i check in shop

[wary hawk]

Maxed out for the month

[wheat ore]

so i should just wait 2 days to claim it?

[onyx flame]

doesnt make too much of a diff if you collect it now or later, you should max it out by the end of the month with regular play

[real haven]

yeah

[wheat ore]

but doesn't it mean that if i do claim it then i don't get it? cuz i already maxed it

[onyx flame]

yea but like i said if you play regularly you hit the cap for the month with room to spare

[whole crypt]

that's spec cores but if you play regularly enough you'll cap out anyway

[wheat ore]

ah okay

[real haven]

personally if you arent in an emergency for other rewards just claim it

else just wait 2 days to have a headstart

[whole crypt]

just wait for like 10 pity URs to retire and you hit cap on day1

[hushed delta]

I hit cap by the middle of the month, granted I play everyday and farm

[whole crypt]

2 to 3 weeks usually for active players

[onyx flame]

there not gonna be a ur till around cn anni yea?

[soft raft]

New UR yes
tho we prob wont get a UR rerun before then

[whole crypt]

next UR rerun on the list is Alsace so likely after CN anniv, shortly

[onyx flame]

trying to math out if i can dump some ur bulins for yk2 and still have enough for when zwei enters perma + new ur

seems like a yes at least since i got 8 ur bulins now

[tiny apex]

When is it the new ur ?

Like date or around wich date .?

[soft raft]

New URs every Feb/May (CN Anniv)/Sep (JP Anniv)/Dec

[eternal basalt]

1/2/(1 or 2)/2 URs

[runic bluff]

is william d porter meta for bossing?

currently building ships for w15-16

[onyx flame]

Yea 10% flagship buff (+ other eagle union ship) and a 5% dmg taken debuff on enemy

[languid trout]

what's the best ship from the merit shop besides the bulins

[tiny apex]

May end start or in tbe middle usually ?

[soft raft]

for all of them they've mostly been at earliest middle

[whole crypt]

new events basically always start in the latter half of a month

[onyx flame]

Think its only eldridge if you have her retro item (adding to spec core shop in like aug ish)

[ivory pawn]

Eldridge, if you have her retrofit item.
Albacore is a good sub.
Rest are for tech/collection.

[timid beacon]

Is San Diego’s Augment worth it?

[ivory pawn]

Yes.

[sly ibex]

Good day. How do I unlock all the endings? Pin's too confusing.

[plain saffron]

i changed it but idk if it's still confusing or not

[sly ibex]

I believe I've done everything. Recruit this, avoid that, but I can't get the last missing piece.

[plain saffron]

which one you missing

[sly ibex]

I really don't know. I'm very confused.

I got confuse on, e.g., " Recruit 3 5 girl " etc.

I'll try again.

[plain saffron]

i mean like ingame which one is unnot unlocked, the ending in pins should be in order as in the game

[sly ibex]

Thank you very much.

[agile pewter]

Is it okay to retire elite+ ships for medals or use them to upgrade the main ship

[whole crypt]

if you're raising the ship then use them for LB, if not it's up to you whether you want to keep the dupes for LBing later but this will take up space
if you're thinking of enhancing then it's not worth using higher rarity ships to enhance, there's only a bonus if it's the same ship and even then the effect is miniscule compared to how much enhancement fodder you need

keeping in mind for LB you can still replace dupes with bulins, but you may be limited by how many bulins you can get your hands on for higher rarities

[agile pewter]

I see, retiring purple ships should be alright?

I heard that purple bulins are much more abundant than yellow ones

[teal burrow]

Why am I getting this message ? I only have 18 of them

[timid beacon]

They are but it depends which purple ships since there is a handful of good ones

[undone plover]

retiring duplicates is fine
but keep 1 copy unless your dock is full
since they still give tech points for when u need it later

[timid beacon]

Ye so true

[undone plover]

purple and lower rarity can be an easy source of faction tech points early on

[muted wind]

there is a monthly limit of gaining 5k, there isn't a storage limit
the specialized cores in the medal shop do not count towards the gain limit

[undone plover]

5k grind limit per month
normal message
can ignore it
it just means u grinded the max for this month

[teal burrow]

Oh, Never noticed it. That sucks. I am out of UR bullins and need them badly

[undone plover]

if u want to boost spec core early next month u can save this mission and claim it in 2 days after monthly reset
but only if u dont need the rest of the resources
it is just a minor boost for next month which ultimately doesnt matter since u should get 5k by the end of next month anyway

[muted wind]

well, month is about to reset so you can gain more soon. also buy the spec cores in the medal shop if you haven't done so this month already

[timid beacon]

I believe you get roughly 2 every month

[tulip tinsel]

2.5

[muted wind]

at maximum, you get 2 per month from spec cores, 1 every 2 months from cruise missions, 4 from new UR events, and 4 from UR reruns, which comes out to 38/year, so a little over 3/month on average.
-# and i might be forgetting something

[whole crypt]

have you bought the medal shop cores

[agile pewter]

Could you explain this system a bit I couldn't really understand what the wiki was saying

[undone plover]

there is sth in game called faction points
u need it to unlock ships in shipyard (some really good end game ships can be acquired here)
also for fleet tech and faction tech which gives permanent stat boosts to your MLB ships
all of this needs u to acquire certain faction points
u can get points by acquiring ships, max limit breaking ships and getting them to level 120

it is not sth to worry about a lot until u get to chapter 12 at least

but having more ships available means u can more easily get these points later

lets say u want to start working on anchorage in series 4 in shipyard
u will need to acquire and MLB a bunch of USS ships to get the required 850 points for her
having more ships = having more options to MLB later

[agile pewter]

So optimally retiring ships should only be done after mlb and level 120?

Or is there a more cost effective breakpoint

[undone plover]

yep
u dont lose the points when retiring them
but retiring something only to need it later is not a nice feeling

also some ppl just get more dock space and dont retire anything

by that i mean keep 1 copy at the very least
if u can afford to

[muted wind]

that said, rare and common ships are safe to retire. those are all permanent and fairly easy to get back. elites and rarer may be a problem.
-# honestly, i personally prefer buying more dock space so i can keep 1 of each ship, but i can definitely see why you wouldn't

[undone plover]

level 120 gives stat bonuses by itself as well
for example essex class carriers give +2 AVI to all your MLB carriers when they reach 120
but this is more of a late game concern and like i said not sth u should worry about early on

[agile pewter]

For this part it means that each uss ship acquired/mlb/level 120 will contribute some points towards unlocking it's missions?

Even if it's retired after that

[muted wind]

yes

yes, you keep all the tech points it contributed even if it's retired

[undone plover]

there are efficient ways to combine the progress btw
for example MLB yorktown class ships is good because they give good tech at level 120, decent tech points and also they unlock the manjuu aux which can be very useful
better than using purple bulins on a bunch of random destroyers

and as always dont spread out your bulins
focus 1 ship then move on to the next one

and use dupes whenever u can to LB first if u can afford it

[muted wind]

also, SR/UR bulins can be a bit rare, so prefer using dupes whenever possible to LB

[timid beacon]

Doing exercises can get you gold and elite bulins don’t sleep on those

[muted wind]

-# please don't buy elite bulins with pvp merit

[agile pewter]

Wait what do you mean by combining the progress

[timid beacon]

Why not

[muted wind]

you get flooded with them anyways

better save it for SR bulins

[timid beacon]

Fair enough I only get the gold ones anyway

[undone plover]

well i mean u can limit break a ship for a bunch of reasons
by LB yorktown girls u are unlocking a very good gear
u get decent points for USS
and u also prepare them for later if u want to get them to level 120 for stat bonus

that is 3 reasons to MLB yorktown
and not sth like a random elite destroyer

combine progress is a bad way to phrase it
I just meant some ships are worth more to LB over someone else because they help u in multiple ways

[onyx flame]

basically just doing mutiple useful things at once

[muted wind]

honestly, for now, just keep 1 copy of every elite+ ship, use dupes to limit break if you get any, and come back to concerns regarding tech when you actually need it and can afford to invest

[agile pewter]

Use dupes instead of bulins for lb?

[timid beacon]

Yes always when you are given the opportunity to

[onyx flame]

duplicates first, then bulins

[muted wind]

i mean, for elites it's not that important, for SR and UR however, yeah, definitely. those bulins are harder to come by
-# though you probably have no reason to preemptively limit break elites

[agile pewter]

I might have done something wrong so far

Thanks for telling me

[timid beacon]

What if I’m only missing like 150 tech points then I just gotta limit break like 3 more ships

About to unlock Kearsarge and been mlb every elite ship I’ve come across

[onyx flame]

i mean yea you can just do that but try to reserve gold bulins for useful ships first

[timid beacon]

Yeah good thing I have zero as of now…

[undone plover]

also check the numbers to know what to MLB

some ships give 40+ tech points alone and others 12

u can check wiki for this

[muted wind]

lab > fleet technology also shows it, but i guess wiki is easier to search

[onyx flame]

~~you can check in game too but its a pain ~~

[timid beacon]

Oh yeah I have

So close yet so far

[onyx flame]

well your not anyway near finish dev 30 anyway so you could just take your time

[agile pewter]

Wait this means one copy on top of a mlb or keep two non lb

[muted wind]

just the one you plan to mlb

as in 1 of each ship, no need to keep copies around (unless you need multiple dupes for the next limit break step or can't (afford to) limit break yet)

[agile pewter]

Oh I misread

[pseudo locust]

how to ''unlock all endings in the vagabonds recruitment plan event'' ? i tried refuse to recruit and recruit options but this wont go from 4 to 7 at all, cant take this last sticker T_T

[tiny apex]

Which ur do i give prio too ?

[wary lake]

Is there a way to skip doing event stages and just unlock SP stage?

[viscid swift]

no

[wary lake]

Damnit, i keep missing the milestone ship
Maybe in the 10th year of this game we'll get that option

[viscid swift]

what

if you keep consistently missing the milestone ship over a 2 week event then you aren't really even playing the game

[onyx flame]

how do you miss it thou, there only 3 stages for this one

[sweet delta]

Ask when you have more bulins

[solar sapphire]

The current event still lasts for some weeks, right?

[tiny apex]

can u tell me now

[solar sapphire]

Cool

I can make some extra space for my dock then

[wide needle]

any meowficcer guide?

[onyx flame]

do /cats in #bot-spam

[sweet delta]

Soyuz would have been the clear choice, but Implacable needs 2 fewer bulins, and there's a new UR in May, so...
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRMH0Yyv6vWH1apqWU7t0xV9xax73CELlCIC5g7Lw-pJnKpwDM4UBcTN22oqnfRKKq-3GQ6_0FbhcB8/pub

[tiny apex]

looking at this u sent there are some ships i have who are considered better then soyuz

[sweet delta]

vanguard ships are off the priority when you only have 1 good main fleet UR

[viscid swift]

Higher priority?

[solar sapphire]

By the way

How many points should I be aiming to get in the event?

[viscid swift]

55k as usual

[solar sapphire]

55k is the usual?

Alright

I have to use ships that don't spent too much oil, right? I do think really remember that very well

[onyx flame]

if your grinding in ht3, just use the oil cap and level ships

[solar sapphire]

Oil cap?

[spring wing]

gascogne augment seems pretty dang good. just did some testing

[timid beacon]

She has an augment??????

[solar sapphire]

Uh... That's the max it can consume?

[timid beacon]

Does it improve the salvo

[spring wing]

adds a preloaded barrage

improved crit rate and damage

[timid beacon]

Aye that’s not bad it is accurate 100%

[onyx flame]

per battle listed yes, so if your fleet cost more than the oil cap it get reduced to that amount

[solar sapphire]

Sorry but I haven't played for so long I forgot about some key stuff like Oil Cap

[spring wing]

mb not crit damage, FP and ACC buff by 15% and crit rate 10% buff along with preload barrage and instead of every 20 sec barrage it's every 15 sec.

[timid beacon]

Wonder if that makes her better than prinz rupprecht ur it looks really promising ill buy the augment myself too then

[forest palm]

[spring wing]

I'd say she's comfortably above prinz ruppert. She even gets a reload buff from the augment stats.

[supple verge]

for the sixth ending do i have to unrecruit everyone and only choose one?

[storm marlin]

How do I change my META analysis back to Regensburg META? (Says I'm trying to analyze Helena META.)

[forest palm]

Helena is a Dossier Meta, Regensburg should be there in the main menu

[onyx flame]

if you started the fight you have to finish it

[storm marlin]

Yeah, but somehow I can't get back to the menu

[storm marlin]

Yeah, guess I'll have to expend whatever dossier points I have

[onyx flame]

you dont have to do that, you just have to finish whatever existing fight you started

[timid beacon]

I’m not even sure myself like they are equal sort of but I think rupprecht barrage is stronger in general

I can’t tell really

[spring wing]

my prinz isn't even maxed she's sitting at lvl 100 so I can't test them side by side - but my guestimate would be she's more on the level of top Gold BB's.

[timid beacon]

Yeah most likely

[timid beacon]

I have used both but I will buy the augment I suppose because I do want to see who is better because you can’t have them both on the same fleet due to them having to be a flag ship to get full utility out of them

Both ships are maxed and equal level so testing it should be fine

[spring wing]

will be excited to see the outcome.

[timid beacon]

It will be late night for me though since I’m on my way to college so it will be something I’ll do overnight

[spring wing]

no worries just tag me when you do the testing

why would gascogne need flag?

[timid beacon]

Her salvo gets cut in half if she’s in any of the other positions same as rupprecht

[spring wing]

Tested both off flag and flag and not seeing much difference. Maybe I'm missing something but doesn't she reload each salvo and fire each salvo seperately?

[soft raft]

Alot of BBs require flagship position because their barrages are centered around them

As such, if they are placed off flag, half of their barrage will careen straight off screen into the void every time it's activated and not deal damage

[spring wing]

I see her barrage shifts very slightly to the side she's on. The difference was pretty negligible for Gascogne in particular though since her barrage is quite wide.

The problem with her barrage is more so the length. She can't really hit enemies far in the back whether she is flag or not.

[sweet delta]

it does matter quite much for gascogne

[spring wing]

For sure there's definitely a difference. I was testing CH 12 so I didn't notice much flag or off flag but i'm sure in 14/15/16 mob it would matter.

[spring wing]

what did he mean by half the salvo is missed if you aren't flag?

is that just a quirk of gascogne/champagne/prinz? or was I misunderstanding

from my understanding a salvo is a main gun fire. did he maybe just mean barrage?

[soft raft]

I didn't even say salvo

[spring wing]

nono

[spring wing]

this comment

[onyx flame]

prob mistype it as barrage

[rain timber]

Do we know what is the next UR event that's gonna happen? Or no information on that yet?

[onyx flame]

its mostly likely during cn anni in may

[rain timber]

Hmmmm so I'm probably gonna end up MLBing Soyuz until then (I get my 4 Bulins with the specialized core reset next month)

[rain timber]

Thanks!

[timid beacon]

So this basically

(Don’t have the augment)

[spring wing]

It's even called precision salvo protocol that's wild. Appreciate the feedback!

[untold sierra]

How can I fix this problem, guys?

[sweet delta]

your understanding is correct

[viscid swift]

You can't, there's a cap on how many you can earn per month

Why do you think something like this exists?

[sweet delta]

same reason why you don't get unlimited SR bulins per week

[viscid swift]

Something Something artificial scarcity

[untold sierra]

I always found this game, the experience quest for vanguard characters in a shipyard, and this whole thing about it, strange.

[sweet delta]

i don't

[spring wing]

You can theoretically wait 2 days and then collect the weekly rewards

It won't increase the total number you can get per month but it'll speed up the process next month

Yeah but it says to use a tank on left but which type of ship is the tank

tallin can serve as it but im mainly refering to this for your fleet
you should drop the urs until you can mlb them

But I already heavily invested on them
