[lyric night]

Gotcha, I will just take the time to look through the improvements then

[strange flame]

are we able to get all the pieces for the bulin?

[vapid valve]

Does anyone know of a good site that actively updates builds for characters the site that I normally visit no longer updates anything at all

[sweet delta]

There is no such site yet if you want to be lazy, but to get more effective builds, you can consult gear guides in /equip

[strange flame]

the quick gear guide

[vapid valve]

Ok because I have so many ships but I want to start building them up to a point where it can go toe to toe in op siren but here’s the thing I have a few ships that are in the 120 club

[sweet delta]

Yeah just use the gear guide because your ectl wasn't good for opsi anyways

[vapid valve]

Becuase I’m trying to do more of the gear research

So I can just keep pumping out more weapons for units to have but I need more materials to get more

[timid beacon]

Wyvern is pretty expensive

[warped inlet]

Hello I just got AL back after a few years and I wanna know if my fleets are still okay for clearing the full campaign

If there's a site that can help me that can be fine too, idk any fleet-building "theories" and my fleets right now were thanks to the guys who helped me out here a few years ago as well

[soft raft]

What do your fleets look like?

[warped inlet]

o/

Fleet 1 is Queen Elizabeth, Hood, Unicorn for the backline and vanguards are Minnesota, Suffolk and Leander

Fleet 2 is Warspite, Enterprise, Hyuga for backline and the vanguards are Edinburgh, Hunter META, and Belfast

[hollow gust]

minnesota aint in the game

[soft raft]

Those certainly are fleets
And I think you meant Minneapolis not Minnesota

[warped inlet]

Oh yes minneapolis my bad 😭

Are there any changes I should make? I'll take a screenshot for them one sec

[viscid swift]

You might want to give that a read.

[warped inlet]

Thank you!

[ripe bluff]

is there a good carrier for bossing that spams fighters

I want to spam the AvP rocket planes

[sweet delta]

Fritz

[ripe bluff]

dont have
gg

[sweet delta]

Nakhimov dev 30

[ripe bluff]

hmm

[sweet delta]

The bf 109g is for medium and light bosses, so just any good bossong carrier for that

Like IJN CVs with TB focus and only one small slot for bf109g would do better than gold CVs against medium

[weary edge]

anyone here worth mlbing (i have 6 bulins) bc i feel like i should just wait till cn anniversary

[trim depot]

r any of the aux items in the event shop worth getting?

[zinc cave]

Probably Shinano to pair her with Hakuhou for Heavy bossing

[wind hazel]

still wdp

[wind hazel]

all of them are worth it. all event gear are worth it

[trim depot]

alr

[urban lodge]

Where can I find the code in mementos bulin?

[zinc cave]

Archives, bottom right

[foggy zodiac]

Guys I play this game a year ago but didn't play so long, I only reach chapter 3 because how big Azur lane data is. If I play it now it is still worth it?

[viscid swift]

Very subjective questions. I'd reccomend giving this a watch, it does get a lot of details, mainly related mechanics wrong but it does hit the nail on the head of what sort of game AL is and the mindset you should approach it with.

https://youtu.be/dYTRZIop0O0?si=nbC67wt9mnzGJRBd

[rose whale]

I need more catapult, it's there any way to get them faster?

[gray sphinx]

Magical girl bulin skin is free right?

[rose whale]

Yeah

[onyx flame]

Other then opening more gold/rainbow tech boxes dont think there anyway to get gold catapult faster

Could do the accursed thing and farm war archive for the map drop ig but thats not really great

[prisma crown]

Hey how do I get the sticker Midnight getaway for vagabond? \

[rapid grail]

do we get maint today

[onyx flame]

There shouldnt be one

[rapid grail]

yeah, none. was a bit scared after my pvp alarm went off

[rose whale]

okay, thanks

[opal forum]

Can someone give me a good fleet for 14-4 hard

The only relevant ship I don’t have is Fritz Rumey and I should have no issues with gear

[zenith peak]

Does this banner ends today or next Thursday?

[astral sleet]

need help, where is this located?

[knotty jolt]

That one is mementos iirc

[solar lily]

chapter 2/4 of campaign or memento i think

[woven star]

It's already said

[scarlet cosmos]

are there any vanguard ships good at applying slows besides moskva?

[onyx flame]

Eldridge

[scarlet cosmos]

ohh does it prioritize humanoid enemies like bosses?

[timid vortex]

should I use gems for skill training and dorm slots?

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 💳.

[timid vortex]

didn't know about bot commands

[onyx flame]

no its random, but since you only really need slow against single target boss it doesnt make too much of a diff

[stable badger]

oi~~ how do i get all the recruitment plan thingies?

[scarlet cosmos]

sounds good!

[solar sapphire]

Oh...

Anyways, at this point you may already know, but when is the time when we are getting the next PR ships?

[wind hazel]

july

[signal path]

Is this good?

[tiny apex]

is shimakaze worth a bulin since i found her and i have a dupe

wich i could make her fully limitbroke with

[onyx flame]

nope

[tiny apex]

i guess the dupe is just gonna lay there till a second one

[wind hazel]

why do you get shimakaze dupe

[exotic sorrel]

What are those unique looking planes on Nakhimov where the "fighters" shoot bullets at the enemy ships rather than enemy planes?

It's like my first time seeing those

[wind hazel]

wut

show pic or video maybe

jk even if you show me i wouldnt know either

[exotic sorrel]

Hold on I think I found their names... "Rocket Fighters" or something, but yeah I'll try to send a video later

[eternal basalt]

You... don't use rocket fighters?

[exotic sorrel]

No I don't think I'm on that level yet, I was trying out the research ships esp Nakhimov

I got confused when I saw planes shooting at the enemy rather than dropping dive bombers or torpedo bombers on them so I assumed they were another kind of fighters...??

[wind hazel]

you're probably seeing la-9

or hvar

[broken wyvern]

Does anyone know how long until little friedrich leaves my dock?

[wind hazel]

the event is over.

if you see little fdg in your dock that means you already got her to join you permanently

[broken wyvern]

It says npc still and is put at the top of my dock, I did get her to max but didn't get a chance to click the button for her to join

[outer sentinel]

Hi how do I achieve all endings for the vagabond event?

[boreal merlin]

is this good?

[boreal merlin]

check pin

[wind hazel]

then idk, but the event is over lol

[outer sentinel]

Thanks

[broken wyvern]

It's just annoying me, I work with PII so we can't have our phones out and I got enough point just didn't hit the button

[umbral goblet]

Will there ever be FS for Agir and Plymouth?

[boreal merlin]

unknown

[deep cypress]

Golden Lewd or Napoli?

[wind hazel]

there will

for what

[umbral goblet]

I'm hesitating on scrapping their blueprint rn

[wind hazel]

i mean they both can be coined. scrap if you need the protocore

[deep cypress]

As... tank for a CV fleet.

[wind hazel]

cv fleet for what content

[boreal merlin]

for what world

[deep cypress]

OpSi.

[wind hazel]

both works

[deep cypress]

[wind hazel]

but neither is optimal

[deep cypress]

What would be optimal?

[umbral goblet]

What is the gimmick of w15/w16? For example w13 have lots of planes, and w14 have submarines and flares

[boreal merlin]

even more planes and sub, respectively

[onyx flame]

15 is even more planes

[wind hazel]

depends on what cv fleet you're using

[spark patio]

erm im a bit confusing about the 6th ending im at 6/7 rn

[boreal merlin]

recruit any girl that is not the last one

then pick the option either 1st or 2nd

[umbral goblet]

So will Guam, Sandy, laff2, uni, aquilafighter, and Alsace work?

[wind hazel]

they can be part of a working fleet

[umbral goblet]

What about the boss fleet?
I have nj, bis2, amagicv, shinano, york2 , haku, Agir, Plymouth ancho, and some more.

[boreal merlin]

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

[spark patio]

like only 1 girl from VR 4-8 not VR 9 then choose opt 1 or 2 and done?

[boreal merlin]

ye

[spark patio]

aight aight thanks

[quaint shadow]

Chat is champagne gun still the best for every BB that you have no perfect main gun for or nah

(Please for once don't be useless and answer everything else but the question like last time)

[wind hazel]

what is no perfect main gun

but no it is not the best gun for every bb. it can be your best gun if you don't have meck gun for bossing purpose

maybe start asking proper question if you dont want useless answers.

[muted wind]

i don't get the question either. it's still good for med/heavy/mob, but it's not the best for any of that. what BB guns to use depends on what you use them against

[quaint shadow]

I just have a bunch of champagne guns and wondering if I can slap them on every BB and pray that it works well

[muted wind]

uh, sure. probably fine. lol

[wind hazel]

sounds like a useless approach

[quaint shadow]

Aight back to trying to make Repulse the most op BB

[boreal merlin]

mobbing will be hell

[wind hazel]

shit on light bosses too

[solar lily]

is there a use case for subs in this game besides the weekly operations thingy

[wind hazel]

it can make your campaign easier

especially helpful w14 and above

[solar lily]

ic

[jolly coral]

I404's cross fleet buff is nice too

[signal path]

I just find out Im really in need of DD gun 😶

[muted wind]

the cheapest would probably be to check if you can craft more of what downes has equipped via blueprints (not gear lab). otherwise, uh, i dunno if you need all those guns at the same time lol. the purple 127mm is... at least alright early on

[boreal merlin]

dont +10 purp aux this early in the game (except toolkit you can +10 that), +6 is enough and most content at that stage can be finished with your ships just being overleveled

[lost ingot]

someone know where is the last but one hint of the new event? the one that says mementos

[boreal merlin]

click memento, then click one of these, idk which one but i think found it here on archives

[wide needle]

Does removing a plane launch faster?

[onyx flame]

technically yes but not worth the dmg loss

[soft raft]

You're trying to cope for more Unicorn heals, aren't you

[wide needle]

Exactly what I want

I have max retro Unicorn to heal Farming Fleet for grinding EXP at 12-1 but she just kept being MVP

[wind hazel]

remove unicorn

[wide needle]

Fleet die when theres no healer

[wind hazel]

you're doing it wrong then

[wide needle]

How to do it right?

[wind hazel]

having proper gear and fleet setup

[wide needle]

I already give them all best gear

[wind hazel]

then they shouldnt be dying without unicorn

show me what you're using

[wide needle]

unicorn(125) THEN Z23 (113),Hipper(45),Eugen(73)

[ivory pawn]

73
45
I think I see the problem.

[wind hazel]

... that's it? 4 ships? with one extremely underleveled?

[ivory pawn]

Also, no backline besides Uni?

[wide needle]

for low oil yeah

[wind hazel]

not only you're doing it wrong, you're doing it extremely wrong

12-1 has oil cap, you're wasting time doing 1:3

[ivory pawn]

12-1 has an oil cap.

[muted wind]

does that even save oil with the cap?

[ivory pawn]

Adding two more ships is literally free, you’re just missing out on exp and making clearing harder on yourself.

[wind hazel]

no it doesnt

[wide needle]

but doesnt using 35 oil that can survive better?

[wind hazel]

what

[wide needle]

I just need kms vanguard exp for roon

[wind hazel]

farm on another ship, hipper muse is kinda bad, even if it's for roon

[ivory pawn]

The oil caps at 39, you’re saving a grand ~20 oil per run.

[muted wind]

12-1 has an oil cap of 39 for mob, if this fleet really costs 35... just fill the whole main fleet and level more ships. any potential exp loss for research is worth getting twice the exp for ships that still need it

[wind hazel]

im sure you have other IB vanguard ship. maybe z1, or something

[wide needle]

This is the only KMS I have Lol main is also there already

[muted wind]

... z1 is right there

[wind hazel]

good, pump that z1 to lv70-80, max limit break her

[onyx flame]

damn why it so low rez

[wide needle]

but mlb will raise oil right?, Im lacking oil and need almost 3M kms exp so I thought even if it take longer for every run its okay since I lack oil anyway

[muted wind]

you won't be saving a notable amount of oil. just level a full fleet

[wind hazel]

buddy 12-1 has oil cap

[wide needle]

I crop it ss from phone to laptop hehehe

[wide needle]

How much is the oil cap anyway?

[muted wind]

39

[ivory pawn]

[muted wind]

it says that on the fleet selection screen before starting the stage btw

[wide needle]

I see thnx

Now what to swap with uni retro

[muted wind]

just add 3 main fleet ships you want to level

[wind hazel]

other bb cv that you wanna raise

[wide needle]

Okay Thnx

Is there a need for vichya Dominion in Shipyard to unlock other ships that are worth researching as priority?

Main Fleet

[wind hazel]

no

[wide needle]

Best Gear I can find, I still need memento for the trio uss cv so I think this will do

enti already Lvl 121 so I didnt use her

[wind hazel]

first rule in farming at 12-1; do not use non mlb ships

there are time for exception but that requires additional carrying

[wide needle]

I now use hipper instead of hipper

[soft raft]

Why are you raising Hipper Muse btw

Muse ships give no tech whatsoever

[wide needle]

Yeah my bad its muse. her name too long I didnt see

[ivory pawn]

Why not use Z1 instead, as recommended earlier?

[wide needle]

already swap now

[pine siren]

who do i pick from the ur exchange, i already got shinano and new jearsey

[wide needle]

I really need this 2 CV up to 70😅

[robust onyx]

Shinano till she's max limit break

[wind hazel]

show all your UR

[pine siren]

i have her mlb

[robust onyx]

Is NJ mlb also?

[wind hazel]

who cares about nj

[robust onyx]

They're asking about the 2 selector

[pine siren]

Dont have much, im relatively new

[wind hazel]

take Musashi

[pine siren]

ok ty

[wind hazel]

do not waste additional UR bulin on your NJ anymore

[robust onyx]

Musashi for pity

[wind hazel]

it should go into either finishing your amagi, or musashi or soyuz

[pine siren]

i know im mlbing amagi rn, i never use a ur bulin on nj but i got a copy from the beginner misson thing

[wind hazel]

having her is the first mistake

[pine siren]

i singled her on standard

[ivory pawn]

Pulling on heavy/special is the mistake yes.

[wind hazel]

i wanna continue on second mistake but it's gonna go on forever

[pine siren]

ye i know but i was a beginner so i just did a couple, i never did a heavy pull since

[wind hazel]

it's a good mistake, you got a UR out of it. not wasted cubes

[pine siren]

ye i got lucky there, i know now what mistakes i did back then and what i should avoid now

do i focus musashi after amagi or soyuz?

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 why is moskva mlb but your amagi is 2lb then

[pine siren]

cus i like moskva more😁

[ivory pawn]

Save until you have 4 bulins, then ask.

[wind hazel]

musashi is better for campaign, soyuz can handle Light boss better than Musashi but i dont think that's a definitive edge to choose her over musashi

[pine siren]

alr thank you

[viscid swift]

Well Musashi needs different guns to every other BB for bossing.

Soyuz does not.

[wind hazel]

it's a non issue

[viscid swift]

Given that neither gun is particularly easy to obtain.

[muted wind]

pretty much every gun option for musashi is relatively easy to obtain. the cheapest is basically free

[viscid swift]

You would consider the Daisen or Izumo gun easy to obtain?

[muted wind]

yes

[wind hazel]

you obtain daisen gun the same way you obtain champy gun lol

[viscid swift]

Bearing in mind it's only better on Musashi, and worse on other BBs.

[muted wind]

the good options for anyone else are at best just as easy and at worst harder to get

[wind hazel]

brother does he look like he will have other choice

[ivory pawn]

If Musashi is your best BB it sounds pretty worth to splurge a little for Daisen gun.

[muted wind]

also a purple twin 410mm is already good enough, no need to go for a daisen gun immediately

[wind hazel]

if he's gonna be using musashi for a long time, buying a daisen gun with protocore is a no brainer and won't affect anything at all

[ivory pawn]

Though can just use Twin 410 in 99% of scenarios anyways.

[wind hazel]

why do you even consider daisen gun not easy to obtain

when other AP guns come from the same method

[viscid swift]

Poor choice of words on my part, but in the sense that as I said, it's only good for Musashi.

[wind hazel]

but musashi will be stronger with it than soyuz with other AP gun

and i dont think that's an issue when i dont see any other functional BB in his dock lol

[viscid swift]

Overall no.

Soyuz when sortied with other BBs would overall still be superior for damage compared to Musashi.

It's not exactly a clear cut deal as you make it out to be.

[wind hazel]

yeah when you have every other fucking BB

do you see those options there

[viscid swift]

CN Anni is due in a few months, Alsace is due to rerun soon after.

[wind hazel]

and it wouldn't tip the scale

soyuz at most will edge out against Light boss, that's it

i think you forgot that Musashi was the heavy king. soyuz isn't even close to her against heavy

[ivory pawn]

Well. We are assuming they get MLB Musashi in a reasonable timeframe.

Which if she’s next MLB target after Amagi, then yeah, she will be.

[wind hazel]

i'd hold first

[ivory pawn]

But odds are they’ll have 4 bulins again around the time of CN Anni, so.

[wind hazel]

finish amagi, wait new UR, then decide

might even go as far as wait for alsace and invest in alsace instead

🫃🏼 maybe by that time, zwei is on perma too lol

[ivory pawn]

So ultimately it’s not worth for them specifically to get the Daisen gun atm. At most maybe consider picking up 5 s7 blueprints so they can get it immediately if they do need it.

[viscid swift]

Yes, but when they already have Shinano and Amagi to sort that out. A ship that's better against light armor would make more sense to round off their line up.

[wind hazel]

,

[ivory pawn]

Personally I’d encourage them to focus series 7 in Research for Nakhimov, will get plenty of Daisen guns on the way too.

[wind hazel]

[viscid swift]

At this point I'd lean towards series 8 over 7.

[ivory pawn]

But my liking of Nakhi might be coloring my opinion too much.

[wind hazel]

kinda. series 8 offer better long term strength

[viscid swift]

Anyway, getting back the argument for campaign, Musashi would only be better if you have the appropriate ships to pair with her.

Which lets be honest is a relatively short list.

[wind hazel]

what

[muted wind]

what

musashi literally needs 0 pairings to be good in campaign

[pine siren]

ill just hold my bulins after amagi and wait for new ur

[viscid swift]

Aquila, Cowpens, any healer that can actually keep her HP topped up.

[muted wind]

... if musashi takes so much damage that you need dedicated healers for her, you wouldn't live without her

[wind hazel]

you know, the alternative for musashi in w15 w16 isn't soyuz

[pine siren]

can i still use her or is every ur useless without mlb?

[viscid swift]

Are you forgetting that her skill forces her to tank damage for the main fleet.

[muted wind]

no, i'm not, but she stops tanking if she gets low anyways so it's not easily gonna kill her

[wind hazel]

they are kinda shit without at least 2LB

[viscid swift]

If she gets that low she's within one shot territory.

[wind hazel]

but you can still farm exp with them if you don't have anyone else to level up

[ivory pawn]

You can level them if not MLB, but it’s not recommended to use them to actively play, i.e. push campaign/opsi.

[atomic abyss]

cheeky you're burning the kitchen

[muted wind]

... isn't that cut-off literally 40% of her max hp? what's one-shotting her there

[atomic abyss]

if this is some attempt at an april fool's joke it isnt very funny

[viscid swift]

Enemy Battleships obviously. Or just attrition as a whole.

[muted wind]

what

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 is this someone in cheeky account roleplaying

[ivory pawn]

I kinda agree with Cheeky from when I tried to use Musashi vs w14 before getting Aquila.

Kept getting screwed over from Musashi sinking as the flagship.

Everyone else was still relatively healthy, the issue was all the damage being focused onto Musashi while the healing was spread out over the whole fleet.

[pine siren]

Ok, is anyone here good to use instead? Ignore the lbs

[wind hazel]

uh, centaur maybe, izumo but heavy investment needed, kinda not worth imo

pretty much just centaur being one of the notable one

yukikaze with aug but idk how useful she is outside pvp

[muted wind]

ngl i was also having similar issues with other BBs in later chapters, so it's not exactly a musashi issue

[viscid swift]

Musashi exacerbates the issue, however.

I'm not even necessarily trying to argue that Soyuz is the better choice, rather that Muashi isn't the open and shut best choice.

[wind hazel]

well i think we all have agreement there then. im voting for alsace lol

[viscid swift]

or Bismarck Zwei.

Who's due to be permanent soon.

[wind hazel]

or maybe new DR BB

[muted wind]

honestly i dunno if i'd rec biszwei over musashi in the account state earlier. someone for campaign mobbing is still nice. and like surely they'll get a healer to fix the issues sooner or later

[wind hazel]

nah zwei is too versatile to skip over

zwei will immediately shoot to the top priority pick from perma exchange

[viscid swift]

I agree.

[muted wind]

might be too stuck in thinking about campaign now since i don't remember using zwei much there, but that may be circumstancial

[whole crypt]

I'm inclined to say Musashi is still a stronger campaign carry

[viscid swift]

Excellent across all armor types, her black hole improving geometric accuracy, and she has Certificate for campaign.

[atomic abyss]

zwei casually has that item for 0 ammo gaming

[wind hazel]

CN bros love their zwei. a lot of them use zwei over musashi for clearing campaign

[muted wind]

at least mobbing musashi handles better, i have tried that. anything else, yeah, i'll give it to zwei

[whole crypt]

it kind of depends on the state of your account when you reach the pity

[pine siren]

do i wait on exchange? is it safe that she will be the next one added?

[viscid swift]

No, pick Musashi.

[wind hazel]

we're kinda 2-3months away, still far

[ivory pawn]

Will take too long, don’t waste your daily pity building.

[muted wind]

do you already have the exchange ready now? if so pick musashi, don't bother waiting, it doesn't keep counting unless you do

[viscid swift]

Who you invest in next is personal preference and what your goals are.

[whole crypt]

if you have the pity now just take Musashi

[muted wind]

take now, invest later if needed

[pine siren]

oh ok, didnt know it will stop counting, im there in like 3 days

[wide needle]

what are those sakura torpedo in torpedo bomber is it converging ? Also is there a magnetic Torpedo bomber that worth upgrading

[cinder sky]

how do i login to my account on another device? im using same creditenials as on the other and getting bind error

[ivory pawn]

Easier if you mention the plane, but they most likely are converging yes. I assume it’s either Tenzan or Ryuusei.
Both are worth upgrading (Tenzan can stop at +6), as well as various other converging torpedo bombers. They’re one of the most flexible planes to make your timing work.

[cunning bone]

how to unlock all ending in the event?

[crisp estuary]

It's not pinned. Where is the last magic bulin piece. I got the 1-4 and 2-4.

[wind hazel]

Depot
Dock
Dorm
HQ > Academy
Shop
Memories (i think, if not then memento)
Build
1-4
2-4

[ivory pawn]

Memories is Memento > Archive.

[tulip tinsel]

ye it's in the ship list

[undone plover]

what was the best wolfpack these days ?

[river geode]

Any help unlocking ending 5?

[ivory pawn]

See pins for the one listed under 4.

Aka recruit everyone including Nayoro and choose to break into the building.

[river geode]

Yep, thats the one! Thank you!

[ivory pawn]

Any way I can convince you to change the numbers to 1-7 so that it matches with the ingame Memories more intuitively?

[signal path]

I dont see this in guide or I missed it. Is it good?

[ivory pawn]

If it’s not in guide it’s usually not worth crafting. This one is no exception.

[wide needle]

Doesnt that torp get interupted by enemy subs, since it can hit underwater if theres a sub enemy then those will tank it

[viscid swift]

Yes.

[wide needle]

and also 4 torps for 32 secs.

[viscid swift]

That's at +0.

[wide needle]

non mag +0 5 torps 33 secs

[sweet delta]

Don't judge by +0, the scaling is different for different gear

[wide needle]

oh I see

Which rainbow is most expensive in gear lab? Id rather buy them with proto as long as they're worth it

[sweet delta]

/protocore

[odd root]

Protocore Guides

🔹 Protoype Core Priority image guide by samheart564
🔹 Prototype Core Spending image guide by elp

[sweet delta]

They all cost 6 rainbow ordnance i think?

[wide needle]

They still need branch gear though some doesnt so Im just wondering if its consider

like wyvern some of its branch is unobtainable outside gearlab while spearfish we have gold barracuda on box

Oops spearfish isnt in proto shop hehehe

[ivory pawn]

The ordinance is a large enough portion of the cost it’s the only one I’d consider tbh.
But also any of the ur gear I’d craft, I’d pick up with protocore too, so meh.

[sweet delta]

Neither is wyvern

[proper violet]

is the la-9 better than a flapjack?

[inland shoal]

Depends on what you want from it, but it has rockets, so for bossing yes, for AA/campaign no

[proper violet]

awee

ty

[vital meadow]

When will we get more fate simulation for our decisive ships

[viscid swift]

When the time is ripe, in the fullness of of time.

[timid beacon]

Flapjacks are not too hard to make too

[hushed sorrel]

thank you, they made that one to difficult :)

[oak trellis]

Is this torp worth crafting for Laffey II's AA and plane damage down buff?

[sweet delta]

If you need laffiis AA, which should be chapter 15+, then you can afford an eagle union rainbow AA gun for her

If you mean chapter 13 or lower then it's whatever, you can use manjuu or something

[oak trellis]

Thanks

[crisp estuary]

What's the command for the augment tier list?

[wind hazel]

none

[undone plover]

not sure but here u go https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules#s-tier-unique-augments

[crisp estuary]

Also, is Aurora needed for the new meta boss fight?

[hollow gust]

No

Boss is piss easy , there are alternatives

[crisp estuary]

I've dealt less damage to her than to Yorktown

So I was wondering if it was the evasion or if I have switch my BBs to HE so they can do what the rocket planes could not

[soft raft]

Regen M is light armor so yeah definetly switch your BB guns
And use HVAR Hellcats if you're using rocket planes

[crisp estuary]

I'm not killing her with BBs. I'm using my carriers and rockets but it's not good enough damage

[viscid swift]

Something, something.

Anyway, there's a guide with example fleets in the pins.

[crisp estuary]

There are no cats in meta showdown, my ships are maxed, and I'm just trying for 1mil damage so i can flex on the person I'm helping

I learned how the stack mechanics work I guess. Poor Hammann always dies in the middle. Also, good to see Porter in a fleet

[viscid swift]

If you can't hit even 1 million damage, that indicates tech, +13, etc are all lacking.

[wind hazel]

hammann

what on earth are you using

[crisp estuary]

I'm running Yorktown II, Implacable, and Rumey. With Laffey II tank
Faster to switch to your secondaries (HE fleet with Rumey) than to reload your main fleet (switch my BBs to HE)

[wind hazel]

using laffey2 is making it more difficult for you

[crisp estuary]

I tried three tanks last night actually. My first time with reg 15 help. My first time logging in since the last UR event more like. Laffey, Eldridge, and a desperation CB since I was losing someone to stacks.

[rapid shard]

If i remember right resenM gets a dmg reduction from summons, so laffey2 is just buffing her

[wind hazel]

you should stop throwing things at the boss and learn how her skills work

[viscid swift]

She doesn't but you increase the damage she deals every time someone dies, summons included.

[wind hazel]

dmg red is from marked unit sinking

[rapid shard]

Thanks for clarifying, couldnt remember exactly how it worked just that using summon ships is basically shooting yourself in the foot

[wind hazel]

ye it will eventually lead to that

more dmg=your ship not surviving=dead unit, dmg red

[sweet delta]

Is dmg green better?

[crisp estuary]

Hey, Soyuz Bis Vanguard with Helena timing worked with every meta boss before
The light one is just throwing me off.

[viscid swift]

Ah yes, the old Helena crutch.

[wind hazel]

i mean bb work if you just want 1m+ dmg, but you're doing something wrong

[onyx flame]

In uss comp firing order goes kear>yk2>lexi2 right?

[viscid swift]

Something like that yes.

[signal path]

Reality hits hard 😅

[wind hazel]

you sure you should be crafting UR DD gun that early?

[viscid swift]

I really need to make that addendum to the Gear Lab Guide don't I.

[wind hazel]

ye some sort of general priority like what renhex used to copy paste might help

[viscid swift]

I was thinking of doing something like with my guide to URs where, rather than just giving it a rating, I try to contextualize just how useful and impactful a piece of gear is.

Like The Twin 100 Kai isn't that impactful and will almost never make a decisive different, very much a case of nice to have you can live without it.

[timid beacon]

Is there a problem with that tho

Should they be crafting like gold gear like flap jack or maybe something else

[wind hazel]

that HBX is one of the scarce resources and often used in other gear that would give bigger impact than twin100 kai

or maybe even redirect the UR main gun to mk7 instead

[sweet delta]

Was putting it at B tier not enough

[viscid swift]

Apparently not.

[timid beacon]

I see alright

[wind hazel]

it's hard to use the new player tiering sometimes, because for example, ryusei saiun are both B as well. how do you differentiate the B priority? not that they share the same materials, but just an example to the issue

[timid beacon]

Ass

[wind hazel]

mk7 vs twin100kai too, for example. both B tier, use same main gun prints. how do you pick between them?

[timid beacon]

I’m not sure because idk either

[wind hazel]

that's why renhex copy paste is good. it has a direction

[viscid swift]

I just hope selector prints weren't used.

[elfin hollow]

I keep getting black screen whenever I go to any menu and then back to lobby... so game is literally unplayable atm, any help?

Like literally, I do dispatch and exit that menu? Black screen, I go to missions and exit? Black screen

[inner delta]

try #tech-support

@elfin hollow

[elfin hollow]

Allrigth

[signal path]

Why? Im lacking DD gun and its cheaper. Others are not lacking

Plymouth Gun branchnis hard to get so I cant craft it

[viscid swift]

I mean did you spend selectors on it?

[signal path]

Yeah 😅 7 of them in fact

[viscid swift]

Yeah that was arguably a mistake.

[signal path]

Is this new update? My shop last month is different and does this reset?

[timid beacon]

Yeah mines did that too

[inner delta]

it reset every month

[timid beacon]

I was like whaaat no way I finally have them all in one screen

[onyx flame]

Its the new opsi shop after you finish chp4 of opsi and monthly reset hit

[signal path]

Why? This UR DD gun is in gearlab priority so yeah I craft it Lol

[timid beacon]

Oh so that’s why, I did clear it for the very first time

[signal path]

Same, instead of going back and forth checking what item is in this port again?

[signal path]

Same, This is my first clearance (Im Lvl. 90 already 😅) I thought OpSi is too complicated and not rewarding

[timid beacon]

Yeah it’s waay better now plus when seeing YouTubers playing opsi they had this menu and I was like whaaat how do they have that

[timid beacon]

I wouldn’t say it’s too complicated or not rewarding it’s more likely that you didn’t know what gave the good stuff

Because trust me I felt the same and I wondered how people even get the gold materials for gear lab until you start unlocking zones and doing the Siren Strongholds and Abyssal Clears give a lot of things

I was able to make 2 flap jacks in like 20 days idk if that’s even good for 20 days but it felt rewarding

[signal path]

Well, Im not in the community at that time and I just play casually. Watched Youtube guides that are posted 5 yrs. Ago so yeah Hahahaa

[timid beacon]

Oh yeah it was rough 😭

[signal path]

When should I use them?

[onyx flame]

there are more impactful ur gear you coulda make with ur selector like wyvern if you havent gotten 1
if you need more dd guns there always z46 gun or tash gun in the gearlab that is cheap and good enuf

[timid beacon]

Wish there was more video guides lol

They got me reading cheekys guides

Very informative but I want videos maaan

[rapid shard]

Check out Suchis youtube channel then

[signal path]

Welp those UR branch is costly. The gold planes on the way to wyvern are expensive

[signal path]

Ok thanks

[rapid shard]

The wyvern is a much much higher impact than the UR DD gun.

[viscid swift]

You have 2-3 Wyverns and 3 76mm AA Guns?

[timid beacon]

Idk if this is optimal but you can buy one of them through the proto core shop and you’d only have to craft 1 gold plane then craft the wyvern

[signal path]

And I priority FlapJack uss fighter for gold plane mats

[rapid shard]

That only covers one of your CV plane types, you still need good TB planes like wyvern

[rapid shard]

That is the cheapest way to get it

[onyx flame]

cheaper is kinda eh since it takes core data and we got afct now if you havent gotten those

[timid beacon]

Dawg it’s a struggle getting them rainbow research thing or whatever

[timid beacon]

Yeah I’ve noticed because ain’t no way I’m gonna craft this many gold planes to craft it like damn it’s expensive

[rapid shard]

Game is a marathon not a sprint, after a couple months you'll have a plenty

[timid beacon]

Yeah currently I’m just grinding opsi and trying to figure out what to make in the future since I’ll be working on Kearsarge

[onyx flame]

only take 12 gold plane prints per wyvern and you really only need 1/2

[signal path]

Is Spearfish not good? I mean I have lots of Barracuda then next spearfish alreay unlike Wyvern

[rapid shard]

Best advice is forget about crafting gear that you dont need right this second and just farm opsi/keep leveling ships to increase tech then at end of month check your resources and craft what you need and keep saving

[inner delta]

too expensive

its good, but eh not worth

[onyx flame]

sidegrade at best to wyvern, its faster but it lacks passive intercept

[viscid swift]

You have read this correct?

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

[signal path]

I dont understand whats the in depth

[timid beacon]

I’ll do that then thanks I guess 2 flap jacks is ok for now maybe idk it’s all ive crafted from last current month

[viscid swift]

What do you mean?

[onyx flame]

just look at the new player rating and make those rank highest

[signal path]

Gain?, worth ST? Also is it comparison or what

[rapid shard]

As long as you've cleared up to W12 then your good, just work on leveling your good ships/good tech and passively build up your gear.

[viscid swift]

You camn read the explanations for each rating here.

[signal path]

And those tier A, S is it for the one in the right or the Next Best

Bruh

[hollow gust]

spearfish is for boomers who have too much resources, its expensive as fuck

[viscid swift]

It's in the guide itself.

[signal path]

I didnt see that

[timid beacon]

Yeah i can I got to W12 recently and grinded for coins and levels it’s a great spot I mainly do 12-1 tho that’s it

[inner delta]

imagine calling me boomer

[rapid shard]

98% of the player base just grinds that stage, pushing past that is simply for rewards/collection. 12-1/4 is best grinding stage to level new ships and grind coins

[onyx flame]

should be doing the event rn if you havent hit the 55k milestone yet

[viscid swift]

We're all getting on in years (in this game).

[timid beacon]

Yea I’m close to unlocking kearsarge… or well getting to work on her I just need 100 more tech points and I’m set to start 12-1 is great for leveling up ships to lvl 70

[onyx flame]

you level the ships up to 70 via other methods like dorm/exp books then bring them to 12-1/4 to go to 120

[rapid shard]

Just FYI unless you have the bps to dev30 her then dont rush building her cause she will be useless until dev30

[hollow gust]

shes useless unless you have a good eagle comp

[timid beacon]

Fuck

[hollow gust]

argubly the weakest season

[timid beacon]

Well I want her anyways and I’m sure she will be useful the more stuff I get since I’m relatively new still

[rapid shard]

Focus on ships like ply ancho fdg avp shimanto etc first, you can use coins to dev them up

[wide needle]

Wait Sandy server is not that old at 2019, I start playing at that time with my lost account. But PVP then is already 15k vanguard and Main already. Its weird I have this main account now and I see more 14k below

[timid beacon]

I alr have anchorage idk abt the others tho

[wide needle]

I wont be able to get the achievement for PVP there's tons of monster at 17k in top 1000

[timid beacon]

Plymouth is a long way im missing 400 points

[wide needle]

Lol, My research ships only unlocked PR1 (2 Ships), PR2 (1 Ships)

[timid beacon]

Nice which one are they?

[viscid swift]

As it turns out fleet power is not a good metric to measure fleet strength.

[wide needle]

I lack fleet tech to unlock others

[wide needle]

st. Louis and Monarch

then Seattle

[rapid shard]

After a couple months you'll easily have the fleet tech to dev them all

[wide needle]

well I need them for shipyard

[timid beacon]

Nice idk much abt those ships but all i know is that saint louis has a speed buff or something

[viscid swift]

That's Fleet Technology not Fleet Power.

[wide needle]

Too far

[timid beacon]

We on the same boat

[viscid swift]

You will get there in time.

[wide needle]

I cant even unlock anything on PR3

[rapid shard]

You increase that by obtaining ships, MLBing them, and getting them to 120, for that specific faction

[timid beacon]

I’ve been thinking of building Neptune solely for the tech points but I don’t even know if that’s valid

[wide needle]

Ok, But I lack ships for those factions Lol

[viscid swift]

Obtain more ships then.

[rapid shard]

Thats where MLbing and 120 comes in

[viscid swift]

There are plenty of ships in the various shops and more that can be farmed from the War Archives.

[wide needle]

Will have to wait for new UR Event to build more. I dont like the current banner to spend wisdom cube

[plain saffron]

Pay me jk I'll change it

[timid beacon]

Spend money like me and forcefully unlock the good ones

That’s what I did with uhh Roon Anchorage Gascogne Prinz Rupprecht

[onyx flame]

[hollow gust]

[wide needle]

send me money Ill spend on what you like me to buy on my account hahaha

[timid beacon]

Yk I had my ass stressing when I though you could get Plymouth with the pr5 voucher thinking I did the biggest mistake of my life when she was a dr ship all along

[timid beacon]

Yeah sure some day…

[wide needle]

someday: a century from now @timid beacon will send me 10$ Lol Implation wont buy it anything at that time

[timid beacon]

10 dollars not even enough is it?

[wide needle]

I think 10$ is just for pass

[timid beacon]

Guess you are right

Yet again why half ass it just get the whole thing

[wide needle]

Okay send it to me, Ill buy it right away Lol

[hollow gust]

[timid beacon]

Yeah I said one day don’t worry

[soft raft]

Bruh move to DMs at this point

[wide needle]

Im in a disadvantage because of my country

[viscid swift]

Not really, just grind them out like everyone else.

[wide needle]

10$ will let me live for 5 days here in Philippines. While in other its just 10$ is just 3 burger or even less

So in terms of spending Im in a disadvantage so I never spend because its too expensive for my budget. Ill just have fun grinding

[timid beacon]

Cheeky would you say building a pr ship for tech points is fine? Like Neptune for example.

[soft raft]

realistically that's what alot of the older and meh ones end up being
esp the ones you can coin

[viscid swift]

It's not the most efficient method of getting tech points but there's no reason to have down time on grinding PR ships if you don't have any good ones to go for at the moment.

[crisp estuary]

This is so cursed. Laffey 2 gives me better results but she stays in the blue cloud longer. Who's the fastest tank? 52?

[wide needle]

Me: Using coins I just buy untill 300 coins Lol. Now I regret it

[hollow gust]

just use full DDs with boilers......

[viscid swift]

Does anyone want to tell him about using boilers and the Beaver Badge.

[hollow gust]

le fantastic is a damage loss

[crisp estuary]

Eww, I have to switch to boilers, and then switch back again.

[hollow gust]

[crisp estuary]

I should put the beaver on Shimakaze, not Le Triomphant. Put 52 in

[hollow gust]

why use shimakaze

[crisp estuary]

48 speed

[hollow gust]

so?

she isnt good, so theres no point using her

[crisp estuary]

Damn, URs getting dated. 52 then.

[real haven]

is Napoli - Z52 - Gouden Leeuw a good vanguard combo for mobbing

[hollow gust]

1. we dont know what world u are in
2. Utlity ships like sandy are more useful
3. fleet comp also changes what ships you use

[wide needle]

Whats fleet coomp?

[viscid swift]

Fleet composition.

[hollow gust]

fleet composition? what your fleets are built around and for

you build fleets for what role u need and what you are still missing

[wide needle]

Oh I just slap what strongest I have on the fleet 😅

I mean I only have 1 okay fleet, the rest are lvl 100+ but meh (Belfast, Minneapolis, Bremerton, exeter, QE)so its just a filler

As for main fleet they're on regal late game guide like sandy retro, uni retro, warspite retro, enty helena retro. (esp. mention portland hahaha)

[narrow arch]

Alright im almost done with 10-2

How am I looking on gear

I know i need to get the 2 mag torps for Prinz and Z

[wide needle]

Enty Helldiver go up to +10(gear is pretty okay IMO for new player)

[narrow arch]

Alright

Im also starting to do opsi and everything but rn its just trying to get adalbert to level 100 and get a replacement for Z23

[wide needle]

OpSi just try to explore as many as you can (focus on story to unlock new shops after reset)

Go for weak map for now I guess

[wind hazel]

put a fire extinguisher on musashi instead of black shell, +10 the 155

start to +10 most of your gear

like toolkit, steam catapult all should be +10

[narrow arch]

Yeah

Why fire extinguisher? Does she catch on fire alot?

[wind hazel]

w10 and w11 have lots of burn from bb shelling and suicide boat

[narrow arch]

Ah

10-4 ty

I just need more of the purple upgrade materials

[wind hazel]

dont +11 randomly btw

the white shell is fine, eventually will go to +13

this one is not fine

can get plate refund from gear lab, thankfully. but dont go beyond +10 randomly, gold plates are important resources

[narrow arch]

I think that one was an accident

[wide needle]

not priority but you can retrofit it in gearlab to get those materials back. and get a Good manual Torpedo

[wind hazel]

retrofit

[wide needle]

If you go gear and filter there's a retrofit (so I thought thats what it called)

[wind hazel]

it's called upgrade....

and you're basically repeating what i just said

idk why the dumb gear filter has retrofit, but it's written as upgrade in the gear lab, so let's stick with that

[wide needle]

On the OpSi Exchange Shop. is there distinction on what classified logger is priority ? I lack budget to buy them all

[wind hazel]

abyssals, buy the one you can defeat

or are you talking about the one that give you ur print lol idk the names

is it the blue one

[olive canopy]

Hi
Do blueprint/research ships count against dock space?
Stupid question I know but when I complete one the number doesn't go up, while if I count everything in my dock it's not complete if I don't add them, so I'm kinda confused

[wind hazel]

shipyard ships occupy your dockspace

META ships don't

[olive canopy]

Yeah I knew for META ships
Just confused for the ones I asked, but aight

[next finch]

Hello, are there any combinations for the current event for 7 endings? I only have 4

[olive canopy]

Surrender in the very first chapter
"Wait for an opportunity" in the last one
Do each of the top two choices in the last chapter both with everyone and no one, and with/without taking the last girl (the yandere, forgot her name, with horns and black hair and big fish tail)

[scarlet cosmos]

any tips against this months siren? her jellyfish spawn is making it hard

[wide needle]

indeed

[flint arrow]

not necessarily gameplay, but will Belfast's sweater skin ever return

[muted wind]

doubt it at this point

[flint arrow]

😭

[muted wind]

i think it was originally a collaboration event, so i'm not surprised this happened

[flint arrow]

i think it was on jp but not on global?

havent played back then but it has no pocky logo or anything

[trail dagger]

Is shimanto's fs 5 needed?

[onyx flame]

it frees her from needing her own gun

[rapid tusk]

Struggling to clear 10-4’s boss on hard mode. Vanguard gets wiped

Any suggestions?

[atomic abyss]

"dont do hard mode with 1 fleet"
is the suggestion really
you're getting to the point where not everything can be done with 1 fleet

you can try pushing musashi up a few levels too

but i dont know if that solves the problem

(also giving helena another toolbox)

[woven star]

Not sure u can do with these ship gears f. But wth Helena on off-tank position? U ignore one of her skill at least

[rapid tusk]

I'm running 2 fleets

[atomic abyss]

hm?

[atomic abyss]

then why is unicorn on the boss fleet?

unicorn should be parked on the mob fleet

so you can pump more DPS into the boss

[rapid tusk]

Ah makes sense

[muted wind]

which of these fleets exactly is supposed to be the boss fleet

[rapid tusk]

Fleet 1

[muted wind]

why did you swap albion instead of unicorn?

... wait, that can't have been the same fleet as shown before to begin with due to restrictions

[rapid tusk]

I just clicked "Advice" that's why

[rapid tusk]

Should I try run it again with Albion in Fleet 1?

[muted wind]

worth a shot.
also "advice" is terrible and just slots in the ships with the highest power rather than trying to make a good fleet

maybe swap constellation and pennsylvania too, but i dunno if that would make the mob fleet too weak

... also, for mob, eugen in front and william in back is probably better

[rapid tusk]

Couldn’t swap due to restrictions

[muted wind]

use "Adjust" to move them

you could technically also move them right before the first battle, but then you'd need to do that every time you enter the stage

[languid trout]

ok i've noticed that every single one of my ships besides musashi and unicorn are either 'meh' or bad according to this chat, so are any of these actually good

[muted wind]

i think your problem is mostly that you spread out your SR bulins, just focus on one ship at a time since they need mlb to actually be good. uh, let me see

[wind hazel]

buy them with your excess voucher after you've puchased everything needed. they are permanent, don't have to rush to buy

no priority either on which to buy first, just get them 1 by 1

[umbral goblet]

Is Halford worth it?

[wind hazel]

nothing special

she's probably the least used ship from series 7

[muted wind]

in no particular order:

• kazagumo - CV support, also decent damage
• san diego - general use (make her augment)
• enterprise - dps
• volga - healer with decent damage
  also mlb musashi, then soyuz or impla when you get around to it
  -# the rest is not super worth noting, but personally i'd say that scylla, taihou (augment), and illustrious (augment) may be worth investing in.
  also may as well use the SRs you already have at mlb, those aren't awful

[languid trout]

i did get illustrious' augment but i need to limit break her enough to actually use it

[muted wind]

... may as well mlb her then. also, to reiterate, don't spread the bulins. either mlb them or don't bother

[languid trout]

what does mlb mean

[muted wind]

max limit break, full stars

[languid trout]

ah

[languid trout]

i think i got san diego's augment

[muted wind]

i'd say prioritize sandy before illustrious then

[languid trout]

👍

[muted wind]

oh, also, no need to buy the unique item sandy needs to be retrofitted for the time being, she works fine without completing her retrofit

[languid trout]

oh shit that's what i was thinking of not her augment

[muted wind]

hm. i mean, that doesn't change my suggestion but lmao. make the augment when she's at mlb too

do note that completing sandy's retrofit costs like 60k coins, so you may still want to hold off on that if you have other things to upgrade

[languid trout]

i've got enough to buy a gold bulin from the merit shop should i do that

how good is eldridge

[muted wind]

eldridge needs her retrofit and the item for that is currently unavailable, grab her later. the SR bulin is a good pick for now

[wind hazel]

forget about illustrious, waste of bulin

[late flame]

b-bbut support fleet

[muted wind]

-# yeah i dunno i had in mind that she was pretty decent now but it's not like i ever used her anywhere but the support fleet

[wind hazel]

rather use unryu or theseus if you really want another cv. enterprise volga are good enough, invest into independence instead

[muted wind]

right. also independence is in the core shop

[late flame]

indep definitely worthwhile yep

[wind hazel]

also don't get random augment when the ship isn't even mlb, wtf are you doing wasting precious augment module

[languid trout]

yea

oh and what's a good UR ship to get from the UR exchange

[robust onyx]

Musashi

[languid trout]

got

[wind hazel]

another musashi so that you can mlb her

[languid trout]

need 2

[late flame]

then get so that you need 1 less

[woven star]

Scylla good ship if noone mention her. Easy to lvl up, good barrages

[river folio]

hey everyone, i am grinding for coins, but my ships fatigue so fast. Am i supposed to run 1 vanguard and 1 main and rotate them? Highest stage i can farm is 9-1

this is my current team

[muted wind]

put them all in the dorm

you can rotate too, but at that point i'd recommend rotating full fleets

[glass aurora]

My Medal shop is BB and SS again. I already have the sub and in the BB's I have Hood, Warspite and Bismarck. Is there any other BB's I should get from the Medal shop?

[wind hazel]

whichever faction tech you need

[glass aurora]

My dock is already near capacity all the time. Should I do a clean out? If so what is the best way to do that?

[wind hazel]

by buying more dockspace

[rain bobcat]

buying more or retiring more

[wraith pendant]

is there a % chance of R8 ships researches appearing in the available projects or is it competely random ?

feel like I see Nakhimov ones once a week or so

[still knot]

Any teams should I try to make or just suggest me one cause I don't know what I'm doing XD current chapter is 10 and hard is 6 cause I'm lazy and my lvl is 83

[wraith pendant]

that lvl79 Musashi brings tears to my eyes

[granite ingot]

Can I has a guide for limited shipgirl work for roll?

[still knot]

Shes good? I heard ultra rares are pretty bad I just randomly upgraded them if I have exp packs mb for not knowing that lol

[atomic abyss]

ultra rares are pretty bad if they are not max limit broken

[still knot]

Ohhhh

[atomic abyss]

In short, do not roll on limited banners unless there is a limited UR on them

Do not roll for permanent URs

[viscid swift]

You mean if the current event ships are worth rolling for? The answer is no.

[wraith pendant]

She's considered one of the top mobbing BBs still to this day

and since you have her MLB, might as well put her to use

[still knot]

I probably will just put her in commission tasks I'm low on oil :D

[wraith pendant]

I would suggest you add her to your main fleet right now

even at that level she can easily tank chapter 12 all the way through, plus you have Unicorn so you will have no issue at all

you should also push up to 12-4, which you can easily achieve with your current dock, and access the 12-4 farm which will help with gold, exp, everythin

[still knot]

Is my team that bad ahhaaha

[wraith pendant]

just slap Musashi + unicorn + whoever you like (warspite since you have her full retro) in the back, and it doesn't really matter who you roll in vanguard slots, you'll clear everything through brute force up to 12-4

also focus on one fleet, you don't need to run 2, even when you run out of ammo you will clear with the backline I mentionned

[still knot]

K

Thanks

[wind hazel]

that's just bad advice. he has enough ships for more than 2 fleets

[granite ingot]

Tks!

[wraith pendant]

but where are they going to use them anyway since they haven't even reached chap 12 ?

[wind hazel]

remove ships that are lv125. raise your cowpens indep sanfran

[still knot]

Cowpems is in coms currently

[wind hazel]

??? mob and boss fleets?

[wraith pendant]

which are not needed before ... later ? I'm just trying to understand here

[wind hazel]

why would you do single fleet when you can do 2 fleets and make life easier

the point of single fleet is that you don't have enough resources for 2 fleets

[wraith pendant]

fair enough 🙂 @still knot listen to Mori over me, he's far more knowledgeable than I am. Cheers !

[still knot]

My second fleet is just a tank built I think

[still knot]

I awaken them all correct?

[wind hazel]

yes

[still knot]

Kk

[still knot]

Question should I retire some of them or just keep them? The elites

Btw vampire was accident ahahah

[timid beacon]

I would keep elite ships since they will be a pain to get back and mlb the ones you have for tech points depending which one you are working on

[wind hazel]

keep for now, buy more dockspace

[still knot]

K thanks

[agile patrol]

[sleek bolt]

guys , who else protect backline ?
I already use yukikaze, but she is not enough to protect Lion.

BTW
Im fighting W 14-4 , Hard Mode, (Threat : Safe), on AUTO
Im using Nakiman, Fritz, Lion, Brest, Yuki, Plymoth with ECGC equipment

I usually got S rank all time, on AUTO,
But this week, it hard without manual control
IDK why or what just changed tho

[viscid swift]

Well autoimg 14-4 H can be inconsistent at the best of times.

Shimanto could help by extinguishing burns.

[junior axle]

oh yes ive done it and then be like wtf who died

[proper violet]

How does one get all the endings to that vagabond stuff?

[sleek bolt]

i never knew fire was a big deal again like w10

[silk thistle]

Is this the correct Build for Kearsarge?

[gritty spear]

I’m probably being stupid and tripping up over the simplest thing, but what exactly am I supposed to do here? Am I supposed to get past this level? That’s the only thing I haven’t done yet. I haven’t gone in there.

[rain vine]

you enter said stage and its one of the map tiles

[atomic abyss]

she doesnt use catapult
and wants the HVAR hellcat, not a normal hellcat
also STAAG bofor

[silk thistle]

How to Get More HVAR Hellcats? (I only have one in my Illustrious)

[atomic abyss]

remove it from illustrious

that's the solution in this case

you get more from war archives but not particularly worth right now

in any case you shouldnt use kears now

not max dev level

[silk thistle]

Well About that, Idk how to get the Kearsarge blueprint fast

What should i use on Illustrious now? (I changed the HVAR Hellcat to the Kearsarge

[atomic abyss]

give her the plane kears was previously using
so the regular hellcat

as for the BP

not much way beyond doing your research optimally

[agile patrol]

are unryuu/nayoro any good?

You might want to give that a read.

[primal marten]

Hello, will be a re-run event from Date a live ?

[viscid swift]

Yes and no.

We cannot say for certain it will ever rerun but we also cannot say with certainty it will never rerun.

[primal marten]

You make me sad, and happy lol. I love Kurumi so i hope

[timid beacon]

We can only hope it does

I just wish I didn’t stop playing for a year feels like I missed a lot.

[primal marten]

Oh man, me too lol. I have my own quest to find Bismarck, and his sister, Bismarck Zwei

[junior axle]

Oh god schrodingers rerun

[umbral goblet]

My boss fleet just got clapped in 15-1. Any tips?

[undone plover]

ditch helena and agir
and change that backline

read this guide if u have time and want to clear it yourself
if u still have questions make a thread here and ask for help https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15#example-fleets

[still knot]

I struggle there to only found it on YouTube lol

[silk thistle]

Are Elite META worth to use? Especially this one?

[wind hazel]

no

[still knot]

I thought it was chapter 1 to 4

[umbral goblet]

Thx you

[cerulean musk]

once you have all the main stuff from core data is it just buying shells every month

[onyx flame]

i mean it just buy whatever you want after that

[serene moth]

where do i find the memento tab?

[onyx flame]

next to the battle in main menu there an swap icon

[serene moth]

ah i got it thx

[empty temple]

Is this one good?

[tulip tinsel]

no

[rare locust]

Hello everyone, is Helena retrofit - Modernization worth getting? I heard Helena is someone, who I should stop retrofiting before said modernization... Would love to hear if it is true or not, thanks in advance 👀

[atomic abyss]

Helena modernisation is worth getting
However, it is low priority as far as early game retrofits go

in other words you get it once you have retrofitted the higher priority ones
like portland, san diego and especially unicorn

[rare locust]

I see, I see, thanks for the info! I already have Unicorn fully retrofited for now

[gritty spear]

It's good to know, that I'm not alone

.

Just to be clear, this isn’t the option where you first surrender (i.e. the dialogue path where it turns out Long Island is messing around with us :_:). I went back and replayed it just now, and it didn’t change a thing. So either we’re dealing with a bug in the game, which wouldn’t surprise me personally, given the earlier disastrous state of this event (seriously, who in their right mind messed up all those repetitions in the text, for example), or it’s simply not the right ending.

Actually, from what I’ve read here recently, apparently the numbering is all wrong to begin with. So one might well wonder whether anyone is actually in charge of this anyway.

[timid beacon]

I plan to buy pr3 ship pass thing any recommendations?

[gritty spear]

By the way, since I’m asking so many questions, I might as well ask about these three settings. What do they actually do? Because I think I used to have them turned off, but as far as I remember, I eventually turned them on because I was trying to check one thing. Namely, whether it’s possible to make it so that every time I enter the game (including, from time to time, within the game itself), the secretaries changes automatically. And in the end, it seems it just works on its own, as long as you select 5 of them (including TB) in their panel.

It’s just that there’s something else like this in the settings. The first one in particular puzzles me, because there are no selection limits there. You can literally select the entire port, but in practice it does nothing. The other two settings, as far as I understand, are supposedly related to the secretaries actually appearing. But is that really the case? Because, as I’m writing, I don’t think I had it switched on at one point and everything was displayed anyway. So I’m not sure.

My English isn’t always perfect, and it’s hard to understand it here, because you can see just how many of those bars with scrolling text there are.

[serene moth]

dont buy, thats my recommendation

[tulip tinsel]

pr3 doesn't really have any good golds

[timid beacon]

Guess so, I’m guessing that includes any ship under pr3 then

[timid beacon]

Goes for any other pr ship like 1-2 also?

[tulip tinsel]

georgia with aug is decent rest is tech only

[ivory pawn]

If you haven’t read the pin yet, just recruit everyone except the person you recruit at VR-9, and choose the 2nd option, to break into the building.

[ivory pawn]

First setting is one of the options for Random secretaries, but you need to turn it on first from the same page where you set your secretaries.
Second and third setting is related to visiting Friend’s dorm or friends visiting your dorm.

[hollow gust]

PR1 is extremely powerful , PR 2 has Gasconge too

[narrow arch]

Should I use the gold steering gear over the blue?

[timid beacon]

Gascogne is great with augment

[forest palm]

aren't GA and Gascogne w/ UE better than most SSR and PRY BBs (PR1 excluded)

[soft raft]

Yes
As if the gold one having better stats (And a unique skill) wasn't already a big enough indicator of its superiority

[narrow arch]

Ok well tbf I was using one of the recommended DD guns and I got told to stop using it in place of a purple so like

I didnt know if it had some downside or something like that

[soft raft]

wdym

[narrow arch]

I was using the Gold twin 127 at 10 and got told to take it off for the purple twin 120 for Z23

I didnt realize that the stats on the 127 were that much less than the 120 and I didnt know if that was the case for the steering gear as well

Because i was told to use Blue steering gear specifically

[soft raft]

You were probably told to use blue steering because you didnt have a gold one at the time

And if you did have one, they're higher priority on your main tanks

[narrow arch]

(I still dont have the gold one, I misread the blueprint ammount when I got one of them today)

[narrow arch]

Makes sense

Last time I played was like September, what roles do Essex Retro and Hakuhou play?

Any idea what the next event is gonna be?

[late flame]

Behold, #game-news

[outer compass]

any vagabond ending guides?

[worthy hatch]

1. Turn yourself in.
2. Recruit everyone but Nayoro, then do Protocol Zero.
3. Recruit everyone, including Nayoro, then do Protocol Zero.
4. Recruit everyone but Nayoro, then break into the building.
5. Recruit everyone, including Nayoro, then do break into the building.
6. Recruit everyone (doesn't matter if Nayoro is recruited or not), then do stand by.
7. Recruit less than 3 of the shipgirls.

Nvm found out how to do ending 1

Oh someone already had it

My bad, seems i even got some mixed up!

[umbral goblet]

Should I use general blueprints on Hindenburg m

[sweet delta]

unless you've dev 30'd every other DR from 6-8, no. Hindenburg is the least worthy of them all

[umbral goblet]

I'm doing gouden leew rn.
Which one in PR 6 or 7 should I prioritize m

[timid beacon]

Isn’t Bayard really good

[umbral goblet]

?

[timid beacon]

For pr7 idk abt the other ships tho

[sweet delta]

if you're on gouden then why are you thinking about 6 and 7 too

[umbral goblet]

My mistake 7-8
6 are finished

[sweet delta]

I don't understand your question. You say you're doing gouden and that you've finished 6, yet clearly your Hindenburg isn't finished

[umbral goblet]

I mean farming xp

[sweet delta]

farming exp doesn't matter, farm whoever you want

[rain bobcat]

farming exp is irrelevant

"done" usually means dev 30 or fs5

because dev 0, ur dev after getting the exp is useless

[umbral goblet]

So which to prioritize?
One in Dr 6-7 ships or Hindenburg m

?

[elfin hollow]

I keep getting black screen whenever I go to any menu and then back to lobby... so game is literally unplayable atm, any help? Like literally, I do dispatch and exit that menu? Black screen, I go to missions and exit? Black screen

[weary gust]

If you're on an emulator use a different one, or don't use an emulator.

[elfin hollow]

Mobile

And it works perfectly on emulator

[whole crypt]

need a less potato phone maybe

[weary gust]

Then play on emulator

Basic fixes are always restart game, restart phone, reinstall, different device.

[whole crypt]

try repairing asasets on the phone maybe something is broken

[elfin hollow]

S25 Ultra also Azur Lane is old dude

[whole crypt]

if it's a new phone then it could be a problem with game files

[rapid tusk]

To increase comfort level should I just buy random items? Is there a more efficient way?

[next saffron]

How do i unlock endings in the event?

[forest palm]

Afaik, there are 7 categories (tap "comfort" to open that menu) that comfort pulls from, and it takes the highest value of each category to raise the comfort level. That said, the comfort XP bonus starts to peak at 300 comfort and almost plateaus once you hit 400 comfort.

[umbral goblet]

Just got clapped in arbiter hard. Any tips?

[late flame]

anti-light fleet did the job

[strange junco]

what augment should i put on musashi

[onyx flame]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/augment-modules/

[wide needle]

EX is a MODE right? Why is it that AVRORA can be seen as Tier S in EX but fall off too much in other category. What does you do in EX?

I mean 35% vanguard dmg buff is pretty high +augment if you can wouldnt she at least stay a little higher at least B

Although I think in late game only Main really do most of the dmg and Vanguard only need to survive

[dusk maple]

vanguard dmg isn't that valuable in most content outside EX stages, her own dmg is non-existent, it's just a better to use someone more useful

she's EX in EX stages cuz her stays after she sinks, so you can use her at lvl 1 to get more score

[gritty spear]

@ivory pawn I thought I might be missing something along those lines, but I wasn’t sure. Everything’s working now, so thanks for your help.

[slim hinge]

How do I unlock ending 3 of the story event? I followed someone's guide on reddit but it didn't work.

[late flame]

takes deep breath recruit the 5 girls prior to hitting vr-9

select second option, i.e. do not recruit

select second option

What's the first ur weapon u should build from gear lab

These the ones i have so far from events and the proto exchange

[coral elk]

Are the optimal Harbiter team types the same regardless of boss or do they change? Like instead of 2 CV, there's boss/es that want 2 BB teams?

[umbral goblet]

Do NJ yellow skill work with Kearsarge?

[boreal wagon]

BBVs are neither CV(L) nor BB/BC so no

[onyx flame]

wyvern

[wicked sluice]

Ill go make one

Is there an alternative to amagi in a ijn fleet

I just git perseus in there for now for the heals but is there anyone similar to amagi

[onyx flame]

Prob hakuryuu

[wicked sluice]

I got her and shinano but most things im seeing is them 2 and amagi

Not got amagi tho

[onyx flame]

Was refering to Hakuryuu not hakuhou

[wicked sluice]

My bad

I hot her fate simulation done so I could throw her in

[signal path]

Is this purple worth using AP?

[onyx flame]

all of them should be done
if its c2 that one is kinda up to you

[signal path]

Why is C2 MEH and consumes more AP?

[untold sierra]

Will the rerun come this month?

[onyx flame]

c2 rewards arent super great but its only 10ap entry so that one really up to you

[white agate]

someone got the meta teams for the regensburg meta shodown?

[soft raft]

rerun for what

[untold sierra]

Any ur

more precisely for zwei

[tulip tinsel]

zwei already rerun and should be added to perma in a few months

next rerun should be alsace

[untold sierra]

So when do you think Zwei will become permanent?

[late flame]

before gta6

[onyx flame]

soon ™

[fierce pawn]

help 14-4 just got nuked off my campaign

[onyx flame]

did u try restarting

[hollow hollow]

is there any gear worth buying from the event shop?

[onyx flame]

always buy event gear

[solar sapphire]

Hello again

Sorry to bother, but I've got two questions... Is there any way to check the drops of the nodes in certain events? I mean if there's a web that you can check for it

And then I wanted to know if Gascone Muse was added to permanent pool

[slim hinge]

I already tried that but it still didn't unlock it.

[silk sphinx]

see pin; just try out every option

[silk sphinx]

well now she's in the medal shop

[solar sapphire]

Which shop is that?

The PvP one?

[silk sphinx]

the pvp is the merit shop

the medals are what you get from retiring ships. It's a monthly shop

basically if it's in the medal shop then it's also available via requisition if you have a lot of medals

best to just wait for monthly medal shop refresh if you don't have that many though, or just in generaln (there's no rush)

[solar sapphire]

I have many of those, I played for a long time but just came back after 3 years

I just need to buy one extra to make her MLB

[silk sphinx]

well in that case absolutely just wait

[solar sapphire]

It rotates basically?

[silk sphinx]

requisition takes x6 medals, for 4% chance for SR divided among all options

[solar sapphire]

Oh, you mean the banner you use medals?

I thought you meant a shop

[silk sphinx]

the medal shop changes every month for two hull options every month

and within each hull option you can pick whichever ship you want from available options for 80 medals

i wouldn't say rotates

the devs might decide which server gets which medal shop options every month

but for most intents and purposes consider it random, could be DD and DD one month, then SS and BB the next

[solar sapphire]

I see... So there's no way to guarantee what I want?

I this scenario being Gascone Muse?

[silk sphinx]

well if you're just missing a copy to get MLB then you can just wait no? she doesn't give tech anyways

or just use a gold bulin on her

[silk sphinx]

pretty much admittedly, but again, if it's just a copy and you really want to mlb her just sac a gold bulin

[solar sapphire]

I understand, from what you said I thought it was guaranteed, and in that case that would better so I didn't really needed to use a bulin, but oh well

[silk sphinx]

in my case i only have so few SR ships left to lb

so for medal shop ships i just wait and eventually they'll get MLB'd

or i just finish MLBing every other ship, in which case i'll sac the rest of the leftover ones

[solar sapphire]

Well, back when I played me too, but now I'm 3 years behind so I'll be needing those regardless

By the way, about the other question I had

[solar sapphire]

Do you know if I can check this somewhere?

[silk sphinx]

I think nagami.moe might have that or alternatively try the aldb website from mrlars

[solar sapphire]

Aldb?

[silk sphinx]

Or just use the wiki

Azur Lane database

Just Google it, great resource in general

[solar sapphire]

Cool, thanks

So there I can just try looking for events and seeing what ships drop in each node?

[silk sphinx]

Honestly the wiki is great if you want to check drops

For the wiki yes absolutely

I don’t use aldb for that, but the wiki works for that purpose

[solar sapphire]

I checked Nagami.moe in Google and nothing happened, that's weird

[silk sphinx]

I might’ve bungled the website name

Jus go to aldb or the wiki

[tulip tinsel]

wiki has a list of what each stage can drop

[plain saffron]

it was moved to azurlane.nagami.moe a long while ago

[solar sapphire]

More than 3 years ago?

[exotic sorrel]

Do I need to pair any Cleveland class ship in a fleet with Independence?

[tulip tinsel]

none of them good

[sick kettle]

for getting +13 auxes does main fleet equipment have higher priority just like main gun would?

[tulip tinsel]

yea

[sweet delta]

What are the eHP of Portland with +10 rudder and Portland with +13 rudder?

[flint arrow]

what exactly gives meta coordinates? i usually just did my dailies and maybe 1 random map and always had 200, but today i did all daily missions + burned like 260 ap but am stuck at 190 coords

[inner delta]

The boxes give, they give more on already cleared map

[silk sphinx]

can also do a hidden coord map, those give a lot

[worn aspen]

What are the augment module conversion stones used for? Are they worth exchanging for in the event shop?
