used for these, typically there no real need to buy em

[foggy chasm]

is samheart ecgc uptodate?

[onyx flame]

dont think it is but it still useable at least depend on what your looking at

[forest palm]

better than looking at ECTL

[deft kettle]

where do i get this bird?

[sweet delta]

in mementos collections. But I would recommend not looking at in-game loadouts suggested by other players unless you want brain damage

[deft kettle]

oh alright

[sweet delta]

considering that this one +12'd a bad AA gun and is using washing machine on a DD

[deft kettle]

im about to get mlb laffey II so idk what stat i should focus on her

what stat should i increase on laffey II?

[rare locust]

Hello guys, I have a question regarding who should I MLB - its between Shinano and Moskva, its my first MLB UR, I currently dont have Nahkimov nor Soyuz. Thanks in advance!

[onyx flame]

is that all your urs

[cobalt robin]

how many ur bullins do you have? and mainly you dont wanna use bullins on permanent urs with musashi maybe as an exception

[rare locust]

And I have 12k Specialized cores - So I can get 3 more UR bullins

[cobalt robin]

i would mlb moskva and keep the rest for new ur

[onyx flame]

Actually how close are u to perma pity as well

If its near musashi would be better than moskva

[cobalt robin]

true

[rare locust]

I have 206 / 400 👀

So its gonna still take a while

[cobalt robin]

still a long way to go then

[onyx flame]

Do moskva then and save the rest for next ur

[rare locust]

Alrighty, thank you guys :3

[placid island]

Hi how can read all ending in vagabond event

[stable crest]

Can anyone tell me where I can get materials to craft gears?

[soft raft]

You have to be more specific than that cuz there's many different ways to get gear of different kinds

Unless you meant gear lab in which case, there's no "Farm X location for Y materials" or anything like that, you just farm C5 zones and pray that cat nodes give you something good

[stable crest]

I'm trying to get better AA planes because the enemy planes are destroying my main fleet... and well, I haven't had any luck with the crates... I literally only have one blue AA plane.

[soft raft]

Keep opening tech crates then
Specifically the Eagle Union ones for gold rarity Hellcats

Dont bother farming campaign for gear because it drops in blueprint fragments so it'll take quite a while to get enough of those before you can craft it

[stable crest]

I understand... I guess there's not much more I can do than keep trying. Thks

[dense sierra]

who to use big bulin on?

i have ulrich below

[sweet delta]

musashi, and you really should stop spreading bulins on everyone

[soft raft]

Good god LB2 Shimakaze

[boreal sail]

Hi, I’m a new player and I was wondering what the best banner to pull on would be?

[sweet delta]

Read this and still skip the current event banner https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/#gacha

[boreal sail]

Alr ty

[boreal sail]

Is there a reason to skip the current event banner?

[sweet delta]

1. it doesn't have a rainbow ship
2. the gold ship are mid

[boreal sail]

Rainbow as in ultra rare?

Alr thanks for the help

I’ll save then even tho it sucks saving when just starting out 😭

[sweet delta]

read the 2 guides if you want to play faster https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

[fallow sedge]

Am I missing something?
I've done all hard mode
And has a average fleet level of 110
Yet I can't unlock the sp stage of the current event

[soft raft]

You need to clear D3

[fallow sedge]

Alr I know the reason now thanks

[strange flame]

is brunhilde worth rolling for?

[viscid swift]

No and she won't be on rate up anyway.

[soft raft]

They dont do rateup banners anymore for WA
They stopped doing that when NJ and Shinnano were both added peramently

[late flame]

I'd wait until the next UR BB event and /or CN anniversary for wishing well scam

[soft raft]

lol

Also took them long enough to remember about her event

[rose spear]

how to do rodney meta

[hollow gust]

Rodney meta is brute force anti heavy

[sweet delta]

Brute force means she's invincible for all main fleet strikes

[hollow gust]

Oh wait it's the super annoying 1.5s boss isn't she

[sweet delta]

#gameplay-help message

.

I won't test this

[agile pewter]

When's the next wishing well event

Also is it possible to select one from heavy and one from light?

[sweet delta]

Expect to be in May
No

[agile pewter]

Oh man

At least I can get one

[plain saffron]

where's 1st letter for bulin event

[barren token]

have you checked 1-4 and 2-4?

[slate siren]

my story keeps freezing up and i have to press skip to pass, am i missing dialog?

[cinder sky]

Is there any good replacement for https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/cv I mean in terms that each ship there has listed gear that's good on it

[onyx flame]

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

[cinder sky]

Yea but thats gear overall I mean gear list for each ship like in ectl

[onyx flame]

no such thing ectl one isnt even accurate for each ship since your ship gear is content specific

[ivory pawn]

Tbh, it's pretty accurate for each ship even though it's in general. There's just a couple unlisted exceptions that want faction gear, so you'll have to read their skills to be sure that's not the case.

[narrow arch]

Is Brünhilde good or is she a dock queen

I love her design

[onyx flame]

https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/566

[narrow arch]

Unfortunate

Porter is S tier?

[exotic sorrel]

Probs bugged, same thing happened for me

[signal path]

How much strong should my bonus to attack Stronghold?
I have the 3 of them at 220+
And my recomended corrosion Level is Vll

[ivory pawn]

That's more than strong enough, the bonuses they give max out at 203/203/150something.

[signal path]

So gaining more wont do anything?

[ivory pawn]

Correct.

[zenith dust]

I am playing the new event story and missing one of the endings.
Anyone have a list of requirements for all of them?
I did the following things
||all 3 selections of the final node with all ships recruited||
|| all 3 selections of the final node with no ships recruited||
|| recruit/no recruit on every single node where it is possible||

Edit: apologies for not looking at pins and thanks for the info

sitting at 6/7 on the stamp in missions

[ivory pawn]

Check Memories > Event > the event if you're unsure exactly which one you're missing, the numbers line up with the pinned post.

[signal path]

If you have OpSi battle, does it affecr if you remove gear to do campaigm

[onyx flame]

yes

[true kraken]

How far off behide NJ compare to new URs

Did she get powercreep?

[atomic abyss]

Completely powercrept off the face off the earth

She was already far enough to UR BBs like Soyuz, Alsace and Bis2

But now you have Lion

Who blows even those out of the water

[true kraken]

Your answer less solid when your name red

But when do Hakuhou rerun?

[atomic abyss]

Like Oct/Nov 2027

[true kraken]

good to know

[tidal meteor]

Would my OpSi Fleet 2 benefit more from having Trafalgar or Gouden Leeuw?

[onyx flame]

traf gouden doesnt do much in opsi since planes isnt much of an issue

[tidal meteor]

Hmm, I would still like to keep the backline from being discovered by planes as much as possible though

[whole crypt]

Traf and Gouden are great in OS just not for AA

[atomic abyss]

I think Guam in that fleet handles the little AA needed in opsi on her own anyways

[whole crypt]

well in the case of what icy has there now the problem is traf and aurora overlaps

there's benefit swapping aurora for gouden just for more damage

or swapping traf out for another boss fleet

[hollow gust]

Or just use Gouden in mob

[whole crypt]

which is what I'm doing now but supposedly moskva is slightly better on average clear times wise if you're speeding

GL opening is hilarious for low C though

[hollow gust]

[whole crypt]

the speed comps CN does now don't even bother seriously with a boss fleet

the "mob" fleet is already enough to kill or shave most of arb/harb for any of the rainbow xf fleets to finish off

[hollow gust]

Yeah fleet 2-4 oneshots every single harby with no alterations, everything else is dealt with by mob

Cowpen being so fucking busted means my fleet sustain is more then enough

[late flame]

tbh I'm lazy to shuffle ships around (and i forgor cats exist)

[whole crypt]

[hollow gust]

unipreload is so unnessesary now, lion and ibuki is a complete wipeout for even c6

[late flame]

whobuki oh i still has not developed her

[whole crypt]

it just makes sure the fleet is always topped up because damage does happen through longer shit like when strongholding and abyssals

also when adapts are still low

whobuki is just bucky

[inner delta]

[autumn tree]

Trying to do a Japanese only fleet but idk much about ships. This is what I currently have to work with and I can grind up to 9-4. Any suggestions would be appreciated

[inner delta]

i mean first, for limit break focus on 1 unit at a time, then non limit break UR is worse than full limit break gold

and lastly, japanese only is kinda hard for worlds with planes since they have basically 0 aa

but just to push to w12, do full limit break one by one first for the UR

[autumn tree]

Thanks. Are there any specific ships i should try to get or does this current fleet actually work pretty well?

[inner delta]

there's not that many option for japanese, so this one is fine

[midnight salmon]

Does retrofit count towards collection ratio?

[inner delta]

yea

[autumn tree]

Thanks for the help. I'll start grinding away lol

[inner delta]

retro does, collab doesn't

[sly hinge]

Anyone know how to unlock all of the endings? I've tried not recruiting anyone but that only ever unlocked 2 more endings for me, I'm stuck at 5/7

Oh- Thanks!

[hushed delta]

Shimanto is one of the best ships for AA and survivability. After that you have nice healers like Zuihou, Ryuuhou, Shouhou and Daisen

[inner delta]

ryuuhou, shouhou is kinda scrapping the bottom barrel

[whole crypt]

40010 is fairly high on the list of AA when you consider all ships but she's a fair bit below "best AA"

[inner delta]

izumo with aug is good, daisen is fine

but yeah, the only option for aa is just shimanto

which 1000% not enough lol

i mean its enough for 12 and 13 but above that is just maso

[hushed delta]

I still use Shouhou for autofarming events in 1:1 fleets

[inner delta]

yeah events

events is equal to w10-11

try her on w14

you are absolutely going insane first before making it work

[hushed delta]

I actually cleared w15 on lethal using Ryuuhou and Zuihou

[inner delta]

yea but you aren't locked to japanese only

what your vanguard

there's a difference here

[late flame]

it just means the rest of your fleet carried hard

[inner delta]

like yeah, they can work but on what circumstance ijn only? it prolly can work but you will suffer first trying to make it work

[hushed delta]

I'm just saying they are very nice ships, not that sticking to a faction is a good choice for the late game, you are blocking yourself out of a lot of tech stat pts to begin with

[inner delta]

they are fine yes, but again what is the comparison

[late flame]

ironically eagle fleet is a thing now

[inner delta]

and like they are great if you ijn only, much better than german state of having like 1 healer that doesn't even work great

[empty temple]

Is nayoro good?

[late flame]

Trash / collection tier

[stoic horizon]

Would y'all still do the SP stage after getting to 55k points in the event or is that unnecessary?

[late flame]

Depends if there is anything you wanna get from shop

[stoic horizon]

Unless anything I haven't bought in here yet is still worth it not really

[late flame]

Augment module is what i'd get.

Feel free to skip though if you have a boatload of it

(you will never have enough if you intend to craft unique augs for waifu)

[stoic horizon]

Also the conversion ones?

[late flame]

Personally i dont care for the conversion items ; too much effort for too little payout - but if you wanna minmax sure go ahead

[woven star]

Oxi-cola isn't bad choice sometimes

[stoic horizon]

5k is probably not considered boatload so I'll just do the SP stage, should do the trick
Thanks

[cobalt herald]

Hi, does anyone know what the seven total endings for the current event story are? I've found six, but can't find the seventh

[inner delta]

its pinned

[cobalt herald]

Thank you!

[autumn tree]

i like the idea of keeping a faction together but maybe i should start running multi faction fleets.

[inner delta]

if you enjoy it you can run it, but just be flexible and raise other unit just for those stages that is basically not faction fleet friendly so you just don't lose your mind

[autumn tree]

noted lol. already building an Iron Blood backup that seems to sync well and then ill be working on eagles.

[whole crypt]

the only reason I raise ships by faction is because they get added by faction

overall you really just want the good ships from every faction for the best results

so it should be easier to just level everything evenly rather than move on to another faction when you need ships

[late flame]

treat azur lane as a faction ezpz

[scarlet cosmos]

i tried looking but cant find, can someone show me which message?

[forest palm]

[forest palm]

So, the Arbiter Boss spawns a Jelly that Jelly is Medium Armor while the Boss is Light Armor, so you have to either kill the main boss quickly or brute force through the Jelly
don't know why someone used the pin emoji, maybe reading comprehension is truly dead

[scarlet cosmos]

sounds good!

[late flame]

boss is also quite easy if you have an anti-light setup

[forest palm]

if you have rainbow shit and a good build you can brute force it without batting an eye

[noble pawn]

this month arbiter is light?

[forest palm]

yes it's a Light Armored boss that spawns a pet Jelly and the Jelly is Medium Armored

[rich oyster]

hey guys i'm missing the ending 1 for the vagabond's recuitment plan event anyone know how to get that ?

oh thx

[versed forum]

should i stop developing hinden (d25) and just analyze all of my blanks?

she's the only dr ship left that's not dev30

[undone plover]

DR6 blanks sure (unless kear is not dev 30 either - kear is more important usually)
save DR7-8 blanks for nakhimov and mecklenburg respectively

next january

for coin up and catchup i mean
series 9 should be this july

[versed forum]

does that include fate sim for agir?

[undone plover]

nope

DR fate sim is random
and hasnt happened for ~ 2 years now i think

[exotic sorrel]

Js curious is this the best anti light setup you could ever make in this game?

[noble pawn]

usually with WDP and Z52 but that work too
Kearsarge can be subtituted with Lion

[azure wigeon]

I tried following the guide for endings but stuck with this one

Can’t get it to pop

NM got it !

[safe nexus]

how to get all endings?

just saw pins

[late flame]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/528197562998718474/1487378363873103984/can-someone-just-say-how-to-get-all-the-endings-for-the-v0-2uvvkdoaqirg1.png?ex=69d3788c&is=69d2270c&hm=8c66ce39815f85eb3083b37463b012228e794f31c0d90465fb51606102de79e9&

[flint arrow]

not truly gameplay - but the price shown in USD for gems/packs, is that pre tax?

just asking because when going to my currency the conversion seems really rough but it would be closer if that was pre tax

[soft raft]

should be pre-tax

[muted wind]

nothing to do with tax, it's just whatever the google play store/apple app store decides is the equivalent price

you can get around that by using yostar's topup service directly, but that only works for gem packs

[flint arrow]

sure but im asking if people who do pay in usd pay 80 usd for the biggest pack or 80 + tax

[boreal wagon]

its before any and all taxes and before any and all vendor fees (apple/google)
(the ingame prices shown that is)

[noble pawn]

Do Aurora even need this skill up for bossing?

[onyx flame]

i mean its technically some free additional dmg

[crystal ore]

So correct me if I'm wrong. I already got 1 of these from series 3. I supposed to buy another one right?

And also got 25 for series 6. For the 380

So I only need 1 more for series 3 right?

[soft raft]

Yes

[flint arrow]

the commissions that "may find" an ssr, what exactly can they drop

ANY ssr? only perma pool one? or even different selection

[undone plover]

If u havent bought it already the series 6 is perhaps a bit more flexible since it is ever so slightly faster which means it might make it so u can land 4th salvo in meta fights easier
But that is very min/max territory so u can ignore if u dont care

[undone plover]

I dont think we have any data for this
If I had to guess very old perma SSR since i doubt they bothered to update the pool for it
But also very low rate to even be SSR in the first place

Generally we recommend u steer clear from it

[whole crypt]

pretty much only the launch SRs and the rate is shit, not worth the time

[exotic sorrel]

What should I pick on the Series 8 gear blueprints

[sweet delta]

What blueprints

And what do you already have

[twin bronze]

Is the artery support thingy available for regen meta yet?

[exotic sorrel]

I don't have any of those rn

[weary edge]

is avrora in perma pool?

[onyx flame]

why ya buy pr8 weapon bps

[onyx flame]

yes

[exotic sorrel]

So like I might've made a very dumb move and thought it meant all weapon BPs from PR 8 and below...

Rip I thought I'd be able to get a champagne gun blueprint 💔💔

[weary edge]

lowk everything here is buns, donskoi gun is decent tho, gl gun is somewhat okay

[exotic sorrel]

Nope

[weary edge]

just follow this protocore guide and also sushi’s gear guide

[exotic sorrel]

Says in access she's only CBT reward/ Event Northern Overture

[weary edge]

northern overture is in war archive which means it’s perma pool, i also saw this but im p sure once an event is in war archive all the “limited units” are added to the perma pool

[onyx flame]

she's in light

[cinder sky]

how to unlock these slots? also is there a place where i can save more formation presets? i want to change current one but dont want to forget it in the future lmao

[whole crypt]

you unlock more slots as you progress in campaign but you really don't need more than the first two for most part

you should avoid changing your comps too much unless it's just to swap out bad ships, otherwise you're spreading XP around and slowing your progression

[cinder sky]

yea but now all my fleets are orange morale, so i want to change ships but might forget which i used where later on

[whole crypt]

put your ships in the dorm, might have to rotate them since you can't fit the whole fleet

just take a break or something, save the oil for leveling the same ships

[cinder sky]

they are in the dorm still its only 20 morale/h boost

[whole crypt]

20/hr is base

[cinder sky]

ive got 6000 oil that i need to redeem today from weekly so gotta burn some so it does not overflow

[whole crypt]

so dorm is already doubling your regen rate

[cinder sky]

as i said its only 20 boost

[whole crypt]

yes but that's going from doing 10 fights in an hour to 20

[cinder sky]

still they are orange

[whole crypt]

also are you actually reaching 25k oil, if not you can claim it anyway

if you want to spend more oil also LB the ships you can LB

[cinder sky]

what does this actually do

[whole crypt]

fires a special pattern of bullets every 15 times the ship's main gun fires

[cinder sky]

weird they dont give dmg numbers or anything to give an idea about the power of this skill

[sweet delta]

it's pretty strong for many newer ships, but it's generally weak for old ships like Z23

[eternal basalt]

They don't give that about ANY skill

[whole crypt]

some skills have numbers, just not barrage-related numbers besides say, proc chance

unless what you meant to say is they basically don't show the numbers for any barrage AoA or otherwise

[sweet delta]

mfw EN still doesn't have coefficients for +11 to +13

[timid vortex]

Need more golden bulins

[nocturne magnet]

hello! is the event a good way to farm coins early? im in 4-3 cant push through 4-4 right now and focusing on retrofiting unicorn

[onyx flame]

Its less then ideal but better than where your current at in the campaign

General rule of thumb is farm events till you reach the desired point milestone (typically 55k points for new events) then head back to campaign assuming you alr reach w9+

[uncut ocean]

Where can I find an updated gear guide? slaimuda doesn't have up to date

[viscid swift]

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

[uncut ocean]

thank you

[slender turtle]

What am i messing up for z52 to have 2 stacks and WDP to have no stacks in the meta fight rn?

[viscid swift]

Augment?

[slender turtle]

Hm nah she still has 2, is the oath fuckin it up?

[viscid swift]

Probably more due to the fact your Porter isn't even 100 affinity.

[slender turtle]

Yeahhhh, makes sense, i’ll see how it is when i get her 100 at least

[woven star]

Ur z52 got eva and trp debuff

As for me try beaver/eva aux for WdP and try again

This how my looking

Plus if u used BisZ she increase z52 trp even more or other IB buff ships...

[viscid swift]

I mean.

[woven star]

You almost never overgrowth z52 trp

And they have same tech. Yes oath make it harder. Imo best way trying increase eva for WdP

Even with 2 trp aux which really bad idea for WdP only 14 trp stats higher

[viscid swift]

You were saying?

[woven star]

So you want decrease trp stats for ship with homing torp and give it for ship with normal torp?

Can work. Yes. But is it best choice?

[viscid swift]

I beg your pardon?

[woven star]

No really showing different stats as you have

Even with type 93 +13 less trp as z52

@viscid swift can you show what trp buff on WdP?

[woven star]

Thx. AL calc got some bugs. Now fine

[agile pewter]

Are there any good maps to clear on war archives my data keys are maxed out

[woven star]

Do you have BisZ in meta fleet?

Strange that even oathed z52 with that gear can't bit wdp trp stats. Only if another buffer ship in fleet

[woven star]

Usually no. You just spend oil instead of passing story chapters
U can try Rondo at Rainbow's End for Seydlitz - low tier pvp ship
Or try luck in Parallel Superimposition for HVAR fighters prints with low oil fleet
Anyway nt worth

[agile pewter]

Got it thanks

[stable crest]

Can anyone advise me on the best things to buy in this store? I recently started and would like to invest wisely.

[knotty jolt]

unique gear first, then chips and arrays oil and coins if you need it same with prints

[stable crest]

What is the unique piece of equipment? The box?

[knotty jolt]

these 3 objects

[stable crest]

Ok, thks... Could you tell me what they are for or what uses I can give them?

[knotty jolt]

also depending how new you are then the gear boxes aren't a bad option and would be higher up on the list compared to prints

For now they're stat pieces to help pad out your ships

[nocturne magnet]

They are unique aux gear can be slotted to aux slots. I'll send a screenshot of it's stats and effect. brb

[stable crest]

I think I'll take your first piece of advice...

[stable crest]

Ok...

[nocturne magnet]

here

[knotty jolt]

Looking at it now, systemwide bounty doesn't sound half bad for meta showdowns tbh

[stable crest]

Oh, okay, so they're like items, but they give weird passives?

[knotty jolt]

Most aux gear are used primarily for their stats with effects alot of the time secondary unless it's really strong

[stable crest]

I'll pretend I understood jsjsjs

[knotty jolt]

The best gear got good stats and strong effects

[stable crest]

I'll take that into account... thank you for answering my questions.

[nocturne magnet]

yeah, i also think you wanna get them (correct me if im wrong) because they're limited to the event only

[knotty jolt]

Better to have and not need then need and not have as the saying goes.

[stable crest]

Well said, better safe than sorry

[nocturne magnet]

and maybe you'll able to get all what you need before the event end (can always farm more points)

[clear harbor]

7: recruit 1 girl that's not the last one and pick 1st or 2nd option
For ending 7, I need to recruit 1 and only 1 shipgirl that's not the last one?

Well, it was quick enough to go through the story again. "Unrecruiting" a bunch of the shipgirls before retrying the ending worked. 👍

[hollow gust]

Souryuu meta is medium right?

[soft raft]

Yes

[fiery pelican]

Is there UR event right now or na?

[atomic abyss]

No

[soft raft]

Next new one isnt expected until at earliest mid May
And imo it's unlikely we'll get a UR rerun before then

[fiery pelican]

Okay, will play once theres a new ur

Suggestions for team comps/ships for w13 in general

[forest palm]

3 CV Mob, 2 BB 1 CV or 1 BB 2 CV Boss. Really though your World 12 fleet may be able to clear it if properly gear

[noble pawn]

need good build cuz Taihou is hard hitting backline

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

[slender turtle]

Could I get the link for the fleet builder psl

[sweet delta]

https://twocanoftuna.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

[slender turtle]

ty 🫡

[real haven]

1 BB 2 CVL is also viable for mobbing

unless there is no suicide bombers

especially if you have independence and raffaelo, expensive sure but they will ensure everything and everyone is fucked

[forest palm]

This is for 13...

[real haven]

forgor what its like

[forest palm]

Piss easy and forgettable, unless you're talking about HM which is a different matter entirely

[real haven]

tbh im balling in this fleet so

also whats HM again?

[forest palm]

Hard Mode

[real haven]

yeah fair

[real haven]

wonder how far can this fleet go

with decent mobbing gears

[swift moat]

I havnt played in a long while and I can't log into Google play how do I get into my account?

[sweet delta]

google play doesn't matter, only the buttons on the left of the login screen work

[noble pawn]

log into your yostar account

[sweet delta]

you can't use yostar account to log in

[umbral goblet]

Should I retire these ships?

[real haven]

not recommended usually

unless you have mlbed them

[swift moat]

@sweet delta I've tried but I can't seem to get back into my account it keeps creating new accounts

[onyx flame]

even if its mlb sr shouldnt be retired

[noble pawn]

I'd keep Belorussia for Nakhimov shipyard leveling. Idk about Lutzow though

[sweet delta]

use the correct login and choose the correct server

[mighty rose]

Would Aurora (which i'm upgrading) make a difference?

[gloomy epoch]

w16-3/4 fleet help

[tropic turret]

Which ur exchange ship should i get?

[smoky torrent]

anyone know how to get all endings for the story

[tulip tinsel]

musashi

[onyx flame]

musashi is typically highest prio

[stable badger]

so... if you want a 3 BB backline, who do you put in there since those 3 + bismark UR, have been power creeped? musashi, lion and who's 3rd?

[onyx flame]

musashi isnt typically used for a 3bb backline she's more of a campaign ship
the current 3 bb lineup is lion, zwei and meck

[lucid dirge]

When will be fritz rerun? And also i kinda missed all uss urs so when are laffey II will be added to war archives?

[onyx flame]

expect to see both about the start of next year 2027

[lucid dirge]

Thanks

[crystal ore]

I have reach chapter 9 tho. But my fleet suffer a lot since not having enough DPS tho. Should I start building a 2nd fleet?

here is the main fleet

Also is she fit for 2nd fleet

[slow fox]

irc +13 is 103% or smt

[whole vault]

Guys how to unlock the first ending for the story mode

[crystal ore]

Check pin

[whole vault]

NVM I figured it out

[crystal ore]

So I already got New jersey should I used the letter to get shinano or get another copy of New jersey?

[robust onyx]

Is Shinano mlb?

If not hold for Shinano

[crystal ore]

no. I just MLB Soyuz few days ago

[robust onyx]

Better to hold it for her finally limit break

[crystal ore]

I don't even have Shinano so... hold for now?

[robust onyx]

Yes

Hermione so you know is a collection only CL

[timid vortex]

should I buy event auxilaries? they don't look good

[inner delta]

Always buy them since they are event limited

Even if they arent good, you cant exactly get them until rerun/get permanent

[dusk dirge]

And you never know when a niche use will come up for some meta fight

[exotic sorrel]

Are torpedo vanguard ships worth using in campaign bossing?

[wind hazel]

can be if they fit

unzen is a popular choice for w14 for example

[stoic horizon]

Is the Sextuple Bofors even worth +13 (seeing how it's cheaper than the 76 and has more Alpha) or is it just better to conserve plates for more 76s?

Cheaper as in less plates consumed

[noble pawn]

I hate to admit it I used it for stat stick because I don't have anything else and it's just for Meta showdown LOL (Protocol Zero)

[wind hazel]

depends on how desperate you are for AA, 1 shouldn't hurt

[cursive turtle]

whats the best way to drain oil?

[wind hazel]

run 16-4 x3 with HECLP

[stoic horizon]

Well I essentially only have 1 76er for high DPM, a bunch of +10 STAAGs and like 3 +10 Roombas

[wind hazel]

i'd save for the 76 first

get like 2 76 to +13

[stoic horizon]

Aight gotcha
Thanks

[nocturne magnet]

im a bit new to the game(commander level 34) on what PR should i focus first? some guides i've read(seems outdated) i should focus on PR6 but im unsure on following it

[robust onyx]

Latest pr possible

Which is currently PR8

[onyx flame]

If your refering to research academy set it to pr8

[nocturne magnet]

noted thanks!

[crude basin]

hey guys who should i claim with my ur exchange pity

[nocturne magnet]

is there anything worth getting early in the guild shop besides helena and unicorn?

[onyx flame]

Musashi is typically the highest prio

[onyx flame]

There uh maryland (needs retro but uni is highest prio) you can consider if your lacking bbs but you can just get them at alater time

[nocturne magnet]

got her, and i think she's really good holy

[vital meadow]

https://imgur.com/zoy77Ne wat ship are these

[ivory pawn]

Cowpens
Tohka from Date a Live.

[forest palm]

both are unattainable right now

[ivory pawn]

Cowpens won’t rerun until 2028 iirc. Tohka won’t rerun until who knows if ever.

[timid beacon]

2028

[edgy dust]

I'm F2P and new, do y'all recommend buying cubes with gems? Or mainly save em for skins and stuff

[knotty jolt]

Dock space

Buying cubes with gems is one of the worst things you can do as the cost is way to high for what you get, plus there's a plethora of better options

I'm speaking from experience btw but I'm a whale

[ivory pawn]

Get one slot in dorm, and the second floor to double your dorm slots so you can stick your entire primary fleet in there for morale gen.

[real haven]

save for dorm spaces and dock spaces

[ivory pawn]

Then the rest in dock space as mentioned.

[real haven]

or if youre rich, get the full dorm for TWO fleets

[wind hazel]

[ivory pawn]

Rich is not F2P.

[edgy dust]

Thanks

[real haven]

or make the first fleet passive xp farm and 2nd morale farm for fleet

[cinder sky]

when is fleet 3/4/5/6 unlocked?

[wind hazel]

clear ch4 5 6 7

[agile pewter]

Is clearing mode usable on a hard stage without 3 star?

[ivory pawn]

Yep, just need to get 100%, aka beat the stage boss a couple times.

[timid vortex]

should I buy golden bulins for pvp currency or look out for ships?

[ivory pawn]

You don’t need to buy them until you need them, but most pvp currency will probably go to gold bulins. Keep an eye out for random cubes too!

Most PvP shop ships are collection/tech, only two exceptions I know of are Eldridge if you have her retrofit item, and Albacore if you need a 2nd/3rd USS sub.

[stable badger]

is there like a "Fleet" tier list? kinda like the PvP stuff, but for OpS, events and Main Campaign per chapters?

[umbral goblet]

How does one get more AD-1 Skyraider?

[sick kettle]

on what content does spearfish needed the most?

[north gorge]

Hope that devs add it somewhere other than limited core shop

[whole crypt]

skyraider sounds like something that'll be in lab eventually

[fleet marten]

I hope so, considering the gaming table is only available for 2 copies on Core Data

but yet again, 1 Skyraider should be enough right?

[whole crypt]

yeh, but just as a matter of past patterns weapons should end up in lab

the core shop rainbows are auxes

[fleet marten]

oh, you're right about that

[whole crypt]

it's not needed anywhere

[nocturne magnet]

what are meta for? are they stronger in OP Siren?

[soft raft]

Mostly collection

Realistically you are likely already using Superior ships to farm points for the Showdown METAs, and the Elite ones from cruise pass are all dogshit ass

[nocturne magnet]

LOL noted and thanks

[umbral goblet]

What does 3 std(abs) mean?

[hollow gust]

Just consider it as bigger number , more RNG and chance to die

[stoic horizon]

Is a sub fleet recommended to clear Chap 14 or is it still (mostly) unnecessary until like, 15/16?

[whole crypt]

a functional sub fleet helps mainly with 0 ammo and/or boss fights

[hollow gust]

It would make life a lot easier

[floral grove]

Good day everyone, i might be late asking this question and some of yall already responded it .But i need help how to defeat Regensburg Meta.

Can yal just tell me which shipgirls are the best? I have most of the girls but lack of knowledge hahaha

[hollow gust]

Pinned

[floral grove]

[stable badger]

what fleettool ya using these days? i see renhex is no longer maintained

[onyx flame]

/calc

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Calculator for precise fleet reload times by mrlar

[onyx flame]

is what i use

[soft raft]

I don't think that's what he was looking for

[stable badger]

it works. https://renhex.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/ kinda like this

[onyx flame]

if you do want to still use renhex ther like another fork floating around in this chat somewhere

found the next renhex fork
https://twocanoftuna.github.io/AzurLaneFleet/

[proper violet]

Which ur to mlb? Or wait? Halp

[stoic horizon]

Aye I'll build Fishpack then
How do you level a sub fleet best anyway, just chuck it into 12-4 and deploy a certain time into the battle?

[onyx flame]

set them to autocall

[timid beacon]

Is it fine for me to craft this for San Diego?

Or what dd gun would you guys recommend for me to get on San Diego?

[onyx flame]

z46 gun or tashkent gun

[woven star]

https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/calculator/ this kinda better

True stats and real time cdr

[cinder sky]

at which hour do night commision popup on little enterprise?

[onyx flame]

its like uh 8 ish hours added from the time you sent your message
or if you click on HQ the time on the top right should be 7pm for night comms to appear

or 5 hours before daily reset if you know that time

[timid beacon]

Thanks

[alpine storm]

I'm missing the 13th one someone plz help lol

I tried doing the guide and I did everything but idk what I missed

[forest palm]

<@&460646206851252224> scam bot

[icy robin]

Which one is better?

[ivory pawn]

You missed whatever ending is marked 3 in the pinned list.

[alpine storm]

Ok thanks 🙏

[cobalt gate]

after finishing accuraccy and evade, what do i complete next for tech points?

[forest palm]

Vanguard:
Cruiser EVA → FP → TRP → RLD → Hit ~ HP → AA ~ ASW
Main Fleet:
Hit ~ RLD → FP ~ AVI → HP → ASW ~ AA ~ EVA

[cobalt gate]

Wait torp is higher than hit?

[forest palm]

Hit doesn't do as much as TRP for the vanguard...

[cobalt gate]

Shoot

[flint arrow]

so idk if someone will be able to answer, but maybe... when i played previously, like 2 ish years ago, it was on my old xiaomi, and i never had this issue, but now im playing on a newer samsung and whenever i minimize the game, or lock my screen, when i go back to the game it always drops connections and shows this error, and takes couple sec to work again.. its not a big deal, but its kinda annoying? not sure if its my game or maybe some setting

[sweet delta]

probably some android version along the way changed it

[modest birch]

I'm having the exact same issue , and 80% of the time it's fine ,and the rest , i have to reboot the app

[alpine storm]

That's the way it was for me then I upgraded my phone to one of the newest models and I don't have a problem with that anynore

[vital meadow]

already got them. im just setting up a ch 16 fleet

[timid beacon]

Chapter 16 damn that’s high

[rain timber]

Guys, is this a decent (4th) fleet to start investing in? Nubian selected because I happened to have a 2LB Nubian. I can't really afford another SR instead of London for now to MLB.

What I am afraid of:

1. Roon taking too long to become useful with her low dev level (I get her to dev20/2LB in 2 days)
2. Nubian not standing out a lot
3. London REALLY not standing out a lot
   (basically - my vanguard just sucks)

I can post my dock too for advice

[vivid bay]

when a gun has a nickname like this does that mean it synergize well with the name sake?

[sweet delta]

more like why tf are you making a 4th or even 3rd fleet

[rain timber]

Because OpSi? Also because I want to lvl120 girls to get tech bonuses? Or should I just stop leveling up girls at all after I have 2 good fleets? lol

[viscid swift]

If you're just grinding up ships up for tech it doesn't really matter how good they are.

[ivory pawn]

It's usually because they're the guns the namesake used irl. The actual worth ingame won't correlate.

[rain timber]

So if I'm gonna just stay at ch12 I just select the ship based on faction, basically? I need KMS points, so I just go full Iron Blood vanguard then? (Main fleet girls are useful and potentially better than some I have though)

[timid beacon]

No but with the sole exception for Plymouth gun fr (i think)

[viscid swift]

Of course it depends on what you need, however just pick a goal and work towards it, don't worry if a ship is even 0 Limit Break, so long as they have sufficient levels they'll be fine.

[vivid bay]

oooof why do they have nicknames like that then if they are bad for the corresponding ships? lol

[rain timber]

At least from what I've seen, usually means that the gun and the shipgirl got released together. (can't say this is the case for all of them though - haven't been around for long here)

But there is some logic to it, its not random

[viscid swift]

It's easier to say, and that's not to say there is no correlation.

Guns are typically named after the ships that carried them in real life.

[rain timber]

Hmmmm ok, maybe I switch my vanguard for 3 KMS ships then, ig? I eventually want Hindenburg, Mecklenburg, and all of the other cool Iron Blood Shipyard girls - so ig I just work on that then?

[viscid swift]

That is your prerogative.

[rain timber]

Yeah I'm just getting to the point where I already have 2 fully functional, decent lvl115/120 fleets, and I'm not super sure what to do next. Is that (lvling KMS ships for tech points) at least a REASONABLE goal for someone in my stage in the game, or is a bad idea for whatever reason?

[viscid swift]

Considering that the majority of the game after you reach W12 is merely leveling up ships I fail to see how that would be considered a bad idea however it must be said that the most efficient way of gaining tech points is getting ships to level 70 and max limit breaking and it would be unlikely for your to drag low level ships through W12.

[rain timber]

Alr, thanks a bunch for the help!

[late flame]

if your goal is just waifu collecting (regardless of whether said ships are good or not), sure

if you want to clear harder content in the form of opsi harbiters/strongholds, w13-16, monthly challenges, event EX stages etc it would be better to raise good ships to 120/125 first

[rain timber]

I mean I have 3 fleets worth of at least decent girls, all 115/120/125. And I am trying to lvl all the best girls I can - but I am kinda running out of good vanguard ships. But as you can see, Enterprise/Soyuz/Independence are all at least solid as per the Big Ol' Tier List™

(some are 115 purely because I still need all that gold for other stuff - but they have lots of accumulated XP)

(And yeah I do want to clear harder content)

[cloud forge]

is there any needd to 3-star the hard stages of events other than D3?

[robust onyx]

None honestly

[cloud forge]

ty ty

[cloud forge]

oh nvm they give SR bulins for missions, jk doing that lol

[rapid tusk]

What should I prioritize grabbing next from the event store?

[inner delta]

cog chip/bps

[rapid tusk]

Which bps?

[inner delta]

DR then pr or whatever you want more first

[rapid tusk]

Ok thanks

[rapid tusk]

Any suggestions to change formation for 10-4 Hard? Struggling to get past the boss battle

where's SG Radar for Helena
And maybe changing plane or ship cuz you have low AVI

[hollow gust]

you dont randomly slap sg radar on helena

[steel swift]

How to complete this mission?

[noble pawn]

his recon is red though and less ambush rate

[hollow gust]

There are far easier ways to get recon, like using CVs and DDs

[timid peak]

Is nakhimov a good use for special BP?

[wind hazel]

DR7 bps yes

DR8 bps no, unless you already max out meck

[agile pewter]

What does number of mounts mean

[atomic abyss]

How many times the gun fires for every round it reloads

So with 1 mount

Your gun fires once then reloads

If it has 2 mounts
It'll fire twice then reload

Etc etc

[agile pewter]

What about stuff that are manually activated

Like I see it on bb main gun/planes/torps too

[atomic abyss]

Yes that includes them

This is tied primarily to limit breaks

[agile pewter]

Wait let me think

[agile pewter]

For these manually activated equips you get two/three uses after the indicated reload time?

[soft raft]

no

whatever number you see is how many salvos/airstrikes/torpedoes that can be stored at a time

[atomic abyss]

There's 2 things you're looking at here

[atomic abyss]

One is the number of mounts
The other is capacity

Let's put aside torpedoes

With very few exceptions, BBs are not able to hold more than 1 round of their main guns
It's easier to look at they have a capacity of 1, and 3 mounts

So each time they use that 1 round
The gun fires thrice

Carriers have a limit break that increases their capacity by 1

So they can hold up to 2 airstrikes

Planes don't use the term mounts, but they're functionally similar
If a plane has say, 3 fighters, 2 dive bombers, 3 torpedo bombers at max limit break

Each airstrike will send the full 8 planes

Torpedoes use the term "mount" but it's more of capacity as well

You can store up to 2 torpedo launches

[agile pewter]

Fire thrice means 3 bullets come out?

As opposed to two bullets for a 2 mount bb

[atomic abyss]

Extremely simplified explanation but yes

Since each round of BB gun is usually 2 or 3 bullets

So it's more of
3 x 3 bullets or 3 x 2 bullets
For a max limit broken BB with 3 mounts

[agile pewter]

Is this also the case for dd/cl/etc main guns and aa gun

[umbral goblet]

Yes, that is the case

[agile pewter]

I see thanks for the explanation!

[crisp estuary]

Best gold rocket fighter? Hellcat still?

[soft raft]

for anti-light Hellcat HVAR
for anti-med the BFG 109

[versed forum]

should i stop rolling for edelweiss? already got 2 almost perfect gral but no luck for edel

[sweet delta]

never roll a cat that didn't start with a unique talent

[versed forum]

is the difference between edel and gral huge? or just like 3 elite cv cats?

[ivory pawn]

More or less the same in combat, Edel just gives +1 hunting range on top. Not worth thinking about other than whoever has the best talents tbh.

[sweet delta]

edel is better in opsi, but opsi is easy

[versed forum]

thx

[toxic crown]

Yorktown 2, Kronny, or implacable… or do I just wait for biscuit to come to ur pool

[devout ginkgo]

@molten violet I'm sorry for ping but I'm in real trouble
Can I ask for help, what to do to re-bind Twitter account to Yostar account?
I would be grateful for any assistance

[molten violet]

I'm not sure, maybe you could look or ask around?

[devout ginkgo]

Peoples said to ask mods

Got clue to send e-mail to customer service to do that, but I don't have e-mail to them

[whole crypt]

how better is gral assuming I have a flame/alpha/staff/rld edel

[soft raft]

[e-mail]
Also #tech-support would be the more appropriate place for that type of issue

[devout ginkgo]

Thank you and sorry

[sweet delta]

edel is better in opsi, but opsi is easy
edel is not worse outside opsi

[whole crypt]

so no need to gamble for a new gral

[viral idol]

How to farm HVAR Hellcat better? I farm with logistics plan but a drop is very least. And without logistics plan, it's don't drop anything. I was clear 24 times now.

[soft raft]

Just gotta keep farming
It do be like that

[onyx flame]

only way to farm it better is just by throwing more attempts at it but war archive your limited to 4 a day , 8 with heclp

[jolly coral]

Took me just under 60 runs all with the plan to get one copy worth of bps, drop rate is just that low

[viral idol]

Ok, just farm and hope for RNG.

[steel swift]

How to complete this mission?

[whole crypt]

my advice is just pray that it gets added to lab and use something else for light armour

[pseudo phoenix]

So far only two ending scenarios are locked, what route should I go for to get the last two?

[pseudo phoenix]

One girl other than the last one?

Seems I can't find the route for the last ending

Guess I'll try to do a blind run

[clear harbor]

Try unrecruiting everyone but like the first shipgirl then attempt the ending (without recruiting the last shipgirl).

[mighty rose]

Should I use double HVAR or HVAR + Skyraider when using Rumey?

[heady crescent]

How do File Missions in Operation Siren work? I did some of them but then they stopped spawning, i’m trying to collect all the files

[inner delta]

which one? the one that is color blue and you bought from the monthly shop?

they just have like 5 or 6 i forgot chain

the end reward is 1 UR pick yourself bp

[heady crescent]

Yeah, is that the only one there is?

[soft raft]

the ones in there are single time purchases

[heady crescent]

How do i collect the others tho?

[soft raft]

the rest are collected via RNG from various zones

[heady crescent]

I saw some of them follow a pattern, but there are over 160 of them, are some just RNG?

[inner delta]

yea

this still exist if you want the pattern

[heady crescent]

Yeah i saw that, but it’s not for all of them

Maybe the pattern has changed

[umbral sun]

To grind for Maya, does it matter if it's normal or hard difficulty 8-4?

[soft raft]

ignoring the fact that you can only grind 8-4 Hard at most 3 times per day, no

[nocturne magnet]

when should i use high eff. plan? it seems important

[onyx flame]

heclp? only when your lacking time

[nocturne magnet]

it seems not, i will use it to farm hellcat

[wind hazel]

hvar hellcat is good to use heclp
regular hellcat is not

🫃🏼 damn didnt notice it's almost an hour ago msg

[tulip tinsel]

event gone next reset or 2?

[wind hazel]

2

[wise wadi]

does anyone know how to get all endings in the current event?

[wise wadi]

thx

[nocturne magnet]

too late spent all my plans

[wind hazel]

[nocturne magnet]

while im also here, i also want to ask if there's any other way to boost morale quickly? this kind of farming for gear took my fleets morale a ton

besides dorm

[onyx flame]

you should not be farming for gear print drop in the first place

[forest palm]

outside of the rare events that boost morale refresh, there is no quick way

[onyx flame]

spend a lot of money and oath all of em

[forest palm]

even then oath only saves like 30 mins ~ hour iirc

[nocturne magnet]

no choice but to use other ships then?

[forest palm]

that would be the case

[wind hazel]

just farm efficiently.

put all 6 ships in dorm
morale at 150, do x3 sortie, rest ~40mins, repeat

[weary edge]

what are they even adding this maintenance 😭😭

[onyx flame]

blucher event into war archive

[forest palm]

actually.... we do have JP notes

[weary edge]

holy nothingburger update 😭

[forest palm]

Reno and Matchless UEs

ya it's a break week before DoA Collab, which is fine

[onyx flame]

i like break week, get to restock on coins

[wind hazel]

who is matchless

[onyx flame]

purple rn dd iirc

[north gorge]

sounds right

[forest palm]

that is correct

[onyx flame]

damn 2018 ancient ah

[wind hazel]

damn maybe aug can make her skill 100%, EX tier SSS torpedo meme

[forest palm]

Reno could be interesting

[exotic sorrel]

Essex worth using even before she's fully retrofitted?

[undone plover]

U can easily find better CV than her pre retro

[exotic sorrel]

I don't think I have better CVs

The only ones I have are: Enterprise, Independence (not retrofitted yet), Unicorn and that's about it

Wait actually let me double check

[wind hazel]

she's in the "i have no one else to invest into, guess i'll do ship tech" category

[forest palm]

I mean...Essex will work for anything that isn't CM, Meta, or 14+

[wind hazel]

so is every other CV

[forest palm]

ya but Essex does have the added benefit of a retro, so it's not an enitre waste in terms of investment

[exotic sorrel]

Oh alright then I do need some eagle tech points

Nvm I don't think I need another CV, the ones I have rn are: Saratoga(R)/Enterprise/Unicorn(R)/Shinano

[forest palm]

that should be fine

well if Shinano is MLB at least

[wind hazel]

invest in good ships>invest in tech ships>invest in other leftover ships

[young rivet]

hey so on VR-9 after choosing one of the three options it fades back to the story board and I get nothing from it (no story no story completion) this a bug or doing something wrong?

[ivory pawn]

On the story board, do you see flags on other VR3-8 that say “recruited” or “not recruited”?

[young rivet]

yep on VR-4 and 5 and a not yet on 9

oh and recruited on 7

[ivory pawn]

Go run 6 and 8 again then.

And 3 just in case, idr if it had a flag or not.

[exotic sorrel]

Even if she's the only CV in a fleet? It just feels like she's kind of lacking without her Amagi or Hakuhou or Hakuryu

Wait nvm I forgot I have Amagi

[young rivet]

Thank you that was it! Don't know how I got through the story without flagging either option

[agile temple]

I started playing a few days ago and from guides i have seen a lot of people think the best early comp is Unicorn Pennsylvania in the top row, then Portland Helena and starting character (i went with Javelin) in the bottom row. My question is how do I determine what kind of character to put in the last slot? The guides just say put anyone but does their classification(like bb and dd) matter?

[ivory pawn]

In my experience, it happens when you play on a different device than the one that originally did that story chapter.

[ivory pawn]

A carrier is recommended, but tbh any good ship will work.
The generic recommendation is Long Island iirc, but ideally you luck into someone better quickly.

[nocturne magnet]

same, for my vanguard i have portland, z23, and helena(from shop) i also went for enterprise(cv) for my last slot in the main

[agile temple]

Oh so is impero a good pick? She was the only gold character i had so i just threw her in

[nocturne magnet]

you can get enterprise in the shop using medals (assuming you have 80)

[agile temple]

My characters are level 40, is it still worth swapping out now?

[nocturne magnet]

here's what i followed from a guide

[exotic sorrel]

Enterprise is good enough

[nocturne magnet]

thinking in the long run, it will be worth swapping now

[ivory pawn]

If you have any exp books (and get Enty), it’ll be a good time to use them.

[exotic sorrel]

Your starter ship (z23), Enterprise, Unicorn, and Helena are gonna be good in the long run because they have uses in the future

[agile temple]

I have like 200 because i bought the level 70 boost pack

Assuming im thinking of the right thing

[exotic sorrel]

Speaking of which this is kinda my first time hearing Pennsylvania being recommended...

[ivory pawn]

She’s been the new player BB option for at least a year.

[wary hawk]

This is my first time hearing it being someones first time hearing that pensylvania being recommended

[late flame]

[nocturne magnet]

its a 1 year old guide so maybe its a bit outdated

[exotic sorrel]

Oh

[tulip tinsel]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

[exotic sorrel]

Ah no wonder why cuz repulse stuck with me throughout my early commander levels

[nocturne magnet]

YES this one is what im following

[late flame]

nice

[wind hazel]

penny being a beginner bb has been a few years

whenever sam started that newbie tips guide

maybe not few years

[agile temple]

The 3 guides i found all recommended her but said she was only for early game and would be dropped later

[late flame]

That would be correct

[agile temple]

This is one of the guides i have been looking at

[wind hazel]

they are the same, but different, but still same guides

[nocturne magnet]

wonder if she can carry till chapter 9

[wind hazel]

the beginner fleet is solid until you make 2nd fleet

starting to get weak by ch10

[nocturne magnet]

I have rodney and other good bbs that i can replace her with, but she kinda stuck on me

[agile temple]

is putting my shipgirls into my dorm the only way to help with their negative mood?

[wind hazel]

rodney sucks

[onyx flame]

the main way yes

[wary hawk]

It does get better over time, dorm just makes it go faster

[late flame]

[agile temple]

Pennsylvania getting upset after every fight 😢

[late flame]

[agile temple]

Playing while studying overnight for my exam 😟

[late flame]

You and the girls need rest

[gilded hare]

Is this channel only for PVE? I'd like to ask for a fleet help

[late flame]

#pvp does exist, but pvp is really just gold bulin farming

[gilded hare]

Oh okay thank you I just wanna know if I'm doing the right thing... I started around a week ago and my fleet as of right now are Nelson Unicorn and Saratoga on main, and Javelin, Z23, and Laffey on my front

[tulip tinsel]

works

[wind hazel]

drop 1 or 2 of the dd, use portland and/or helena

[exotic sorrel]

I'm the one who recommended the vanguard fleet to him...

[wind hazel]

why did you recommend 3 dd...

3 dd that can't tank*

[gilded hare]

Omg this is why I don't trust you🙄

[wind hazel]

💀

[gilded hare]

Will this be a good fleet until the late game?

[wind hazel]

you can just drop javelin for portland

it's a beginner fleet until you can make 2nd fleet. it will last you until ch9-10

[gilded hare]

Alright thankyou!

[exotic sorrel]

Oh damn I didn't realize he had Nelson she can be retrofitted and used in endgame right

[soft raft]

Not endgame

at most up to mid/late-mid

[umbral goblet]

Should I keep it for someone else m

?

[onyx flame]

zwei is getting added but not sure when

[umbral goblet]

I have all of them except two above.

[viscid swift]

And are they all max limit broken?

[slim condor]

Stupid question how do you unlock all the endings for the current event?

[umbral goblet]

Yep

[slim condor]

When it says one girl other than the last one do we recruit her as well or just that one girl?

[woven star]

Actually doesn't metter a choice. If u have Lion and don't have BisZ and Mecklenburg or someone doesn't mlb/dev30 u can pickup Vanguard. Kron just a barrage ship in vanguard slot

[real haven]

should i buy this cruise pass

[soft raft]

If you like the skin sure

[real haven]

i buy it for the UI

we are not the same

[soft raft]

Sure if you like it

[viscid swift]

What UI.

[sweet delta]

The UI.

Technically, the UI is a skin too

[real haven]

The goddamn Elderwood UI.

[real haven]

yeah ik but i wanna act high n mighty

[exotic sorrel]

How long does it take for an affinity 100 (love) shipgirl to recover just 1 morale in the dorm?

I didn't realize my Helena's morale is dangerously low 😭 worse part is that I somehow forgot to put her in dorm too

[sweet delta]

I believe it takes up to 6 minutes

[hasty phoenix]

What's the best ship to put my first wyvern in?

[knotty jolt]

Unicorn most likely

[ivory pawn]

Shouldn’t matter. The amount you need to recruit is “not enough for the ending you choose”. Safer to recruit 0 girls tbh.

[mighty sparrow]

Is it just me or is regensburg meta taking like 10 attempts instead of the usual 2-4 for meta showdowns?

[hollow gust]

Your fleets aren't good

A lot of people have a consistent one shot

[onyx flame]

you most likely arent obeying the gimmicks of the fight

[viscid swift]

Something Something you might do better if you read the mechanics of the fight.

[mighty sparrow]

Probably this. Where does it say what they are?

[mighty sparrow]

OK, you just cant see it once you've started.
I'll have to give that a read

[vale spindle]

https://youtu.be/k82rfvuxEZM?si=lVGR72HeU8gMHPio this video is very good at telling you how to gear for it

[safe nexus]

does UR ship have lvl cap like other rank ship?

[weary edge]

no

[ivory pawn]

They aren’t capped by limit breaks, but they are still capped by cognitive chips/arrays.

So you can go straight to 100 at 0lb, then use chips to further go to 120.

[safe nexus]

ey thx

[eternal basalt]

125. Same for METAs and PRs

[bold fulcrum]

anyone done a fresh install recently? mine is stuck at main screen with "Loading game..." No prompt to download game data or anything. Just sitting there.

[wary saffron]

What does these two do

[scarlet lantern]

So I’m in chapter 3 of the story, and this is the lineup I’m using (I just started like 1-2 days ago)- is there anything I can do, like switching out or replacing units, or something to look out for to make my lineup better?

[wind hazel]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

keep unryuu z23

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide

You might want to give that a read.

[viscid swift]

Tap on them and them tap info.

[sweet delta]

How many gold bulins do you have? Probably should keep wakatsuki

[latent chasm]

I need help

[undone plover]

ask away

[latent chasm]

I'm trying to get hornet and was wondering how long I'd have to grind in 5-3 or 7-2 to get her

[undone plover]

elites could take more than 40 sorties

imo dont do it
why are u trying to get her?
for the elite manjuu gear?

in general we recommend u dont farm a specific map for gear/ship drops early on

u can always come back for em later
but early your prio is to push for ch12 asap

if u are stuck in ch7 anyway cause of commander xp then farm 7-2 sure why not

there is no trick to "increase" the drop rate
u just farm and pray u get them

[quartz breach]

I'm missing a single ending for the story mode of the event. What's the process for getting them all? I've tried all the final scene's options with everyone unrecruited then once with all recruited and I'm still missing it.

[inner delta]

we have pin for it, check that for the endings

[timid beacon]

12-1 so goated

[ivory pawn]

Check and see what you're missing in Memories > Event > Vagabond, and compare it to the chart in the pins.

[glass aurora]

I’m making a team with these 2 and Admiral Nakhimov. Would someone be willing to explain the best units to field with that team so I have something to work towards? I would also appreciate some more immediately obtainable units that I can use with them so I can slowly improve the team over time. I am very grateful for anyone who takes the time to help me with this!

[real haven]

They work best as an anti medium armor setup, for main you can use Fritz Rumey as complimentary, and for Vanguard get those that are good agaisnt medium like Z52, William D. Porter, etc...

[undone plover]

<@&472236072743600148>

[upper geyser]

damn I never realized how hard it would be to kill all enemies in chapter 15-4 before reducing the lethal threat

and that I never knew how much of an anti sub king Lion is.

its actually was a good fun challenge to get it done. Now to 3 star it.

but I still can't figure out which healer is better, Perseus or Unicorn?

[rain timber]

Guys, MLB Soyuz is the right call here, right? (I do have the Shinano/NJ letter but AFAIK they suck)

[strange wedge]

Where is a girl who we can sell pearl gone?

[undone plover]

MLB soyuz then save for next month yeah

[real haven]

shinano suck is the equivilent of saying gold is worthless

[rain timber]

No personal offense meant 🤣

Shinano got powercrept by more modern URs.

[real haven]

its not even personal offense she is still busted as fuck when paired with amagi/hakuhou

more modern UR aint doing jack shit

[rain timber]

huhhh this is the first time I see anyone saying this. "Every permanent UR sucks except Musashi" is the advice I've heard over and over and over again

I don't have Amagi/Hakuhou though

[real haven]

for broke ass like you yes, but if there is the resources then other URs also comes into play

[viscid swift]

I mean.

First off, you cannot always afford to run 3 IJN CVs, the boss might move around too much, necessitating a root, in which case it is most likely Shinano who gets dropped.

[real haven]

Implacable still have space as a top tier root ship

[real haven]

running 3 IJN CV already means that its a heavy boss already dude

you can't first off putting a heavy fleet in a non heavy scenario

[viscid swift]

Second, IJN CVs no longer have a monopoly on heavy armor bosses; Mecklenburg and her gun, in particular have been closing the gap.

[viscid swift]

Heavy armor bosses can also move around you know.

[real haven]

Shinano applying slowness:

[viscid swift]

Shinano does not have a slow.

[real haven]

You don't need the boss freeze for 3 bajillion seconds mid bombing

[rain timber]

Yeah thanks for calling me broke ass. Guess what? There ARE new AL players out there, like me

[sweet delta]

[nocturne magnet]

[real haven]

right

prob a misread then

[real haven]

yeah and i call them broke ass, hell i also call myself broke ass

[real haven]

if it takes a good while to recover from a pity then yes, we are broke as fuck

[viscid swift]

Anyway, even assuming you are running Eldridge for a slow, that is not necessarily enough. There are some cases where you need a full root.

[real haven]

i sub hakuhou for implacable

tbh the fleet been running since the release of amagi cv and it hasnt rlly disappointed me since

[viscid swift]

You might, I wouldn't do the same.

[real haven]

i have hakuhou, tbh as people said, if it aint broke dont fix it

and clearly this fleet aint breaking yet

[viscid swift]

No, but there is stil a far cry between working and "busted as fuck".

[rain timber]

You come off as abrasive like this. But do whatever you want, I'm not your dad.

[real haven]

with hakuhou it will be, im just lazy to change tbh

[real haven]

Hi not your dad, I'm Lily

[viscid swift]

Here's a tip, do not let your personal preference for a character cloud your judgement on their real strength.

[real haven]

I am not, literally would agree on how meta works

I'm just saying that not all UR in the perm pool sucks, sure Shinano being busted could be an overstatement, but she is nowhere near fully creeped by modern URs either

[viscid swift]

I cannot say with certainty given that we haven't had a relevant heavy armor boss to act is a litmus test recently but it's not as out of the question as you might think.

Long gone are the days when it was just Shinano and Hakuryuu.

[wind island]

The golden age of Rome exists only in memory

[hollow gust]

Yorky and Lexy more relevant then Sakura fleet

[forest palm]

Almost as if the current content favors them...wild concept

[nocturne magnet]

is there a website to know what are some upcoming events/update? (idk if there's one in game but i would love if someone would point it out where)

[ivory pawn]

#game-news, ingame there's the news board on the same row as the settings.

Doesn't seem like there's an event this week, so the earliest we might get a teaser is JP/CN patch notes.

[nocturne magnet]

thanks

[viscid swift]

They already announced a stream for the DOA: Venus Vacation Collab re-rerun.

So we can presume that drops next week.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXE8iGGmS4w

[timid beacon]

What if I’m broke

[real haven]

then gotta grind to escape being broke

[agile temple]

I started playing a few days ago so this vagabond event is my first one. For the timer on the event it says it goes away april 8th, does that mean like 3 and 1/2 hours from now or does it go away after april 8th? (27 hours)

[ivory pawn]

27 hours ish.

[viscid swift]

It means reset on April 9th, 3 AM EST or whatever that is in your local time.

[agile temple]

Ahh okay so i might be able to hit 10k currency

Thank you

[agile temple]

My birthday lol

Wait does azur lane give birthday rewards

[sweet delta]

It gives azur lane birthday rewards

For EN that is in August

[sweet delta]

EDT methinks

[agile temple]

Ah i understand

Wait you are the person who made the guide im following, very good guide

[sweet delta]

No, that is probably Sir Humphrey

[agile temple]

Oh

[sweet delta]

I made the website though

[agile temple]

Well done

[dim laurel]

for the event what is the combo for ending 1?

[sweet delta]

Play VR-2

[dim laurel]

got it thanks

[covert spire]

how to unlock all ending in vagabond event? i try all the option but it still 5/7

[hard dock]

Is the event end tonight or tomorrow

[onyx flame]

tmr

[timid peak]

Any guesses for what next banner will be

[hard dock]

Roon II

[onyx flame]

Doa collab rerun at least

[weary edge]

is it just me or does this game need more useable divebombers

[onyx flame]

But thats after next week maint

[scarlet lantern]

I have 5!

[timid peak]

So nothing for this upcoming week?

[onyx flame]

Yea this week is a break/dead week

[timid beacon]

Is having two flap jacks on Aquila good?

I mean she still does the healing since it’s a fighter

[opaque galleon]

The DoA event isn’t just a rerun right? It’s a new collab so expecting 2-3 week runtime yes?

[onyx flame]

its a rerun at least, it might have new girls but we wont know till the jp stream

[vale spindle]

yes its fine

[severe island]

How do i know what server im on?

[eternal basalt]

We know the 13th

[tulip tinsel]

Login screen

[still knot]

Who do it get

[rapid shard]

You dont use it till you need the last dupe to MLB Shinano. Otherwise its just taking up dock space

[still knot]

im one star away lol

havent lvl her up though

[scarlet cosmos]

how is Vittorio Cuniberti end game?

[onyx flame]

https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/20040

[mighty rose]

How are my Z52 getting two debuffs from Regensburg META although Hiden has higher ACC and Z52 has higher EVA? Some hidden mechanic?

[sand flume]

why is it that nakhimov and implacable is suggested to use the pr7 plane but hakuryuu and amagi is tenrai and spearfish?

[whole crypt]

because you should stop using ECTL gear rec

[sand flume]

bruv

so where do i get gear advice

[whole crypt]

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

[sand flume]

tks

[boreal wagon]

z52 is most certainly getting the trp stack as well

[mighty rose]

Nope, TRP stack was carried by another one.

[hollow gust]

You can't show only 2 ships

[boreal wagon]

well idk what ur third ship is and z52 also has +15%

[hollow gust]

Also Hindenburg

[whole crypt]

it could still be acc because of tech, and yes we can't tell without seeing the third ship

[mighty rose]

tried various comp but still not get 1 shot

[hollow gust]

You obviously aren't gonna oneshot when using Hindenburg

She is selfish and her dps is inconsistent as fuck

[whole crypt]

none of the top oneshot comps use hindenburg and you definitely won't be hitting it with 2 stacks on 52 regardless

[hollow gust]

Moskva is superior to Hindenburg

[late flame]

-# I just copy homework lul

[gray wadi]

Does anyone know how to get the 4th ending?

[late flame]

check the pin

[mighty rose]

I tried this, sadly it doesn't work for me.

[shell willow]

is your kear oathed?

[late flame]

everyone i use is oathed

[boreal wagon]

in any case if you really insist on trying your own things do be aware that base stats in the equip screen only tell half the story
since tech, skills, etc also all count (provided said skills are active when regen spawns)

[late flame]

and gear. all +13 / +11*where applicable
(except that AA gun lol)

still at work so just doing screenshot

[hollow gust]

If you can't use the most consistent fleet then you are fucked for others

[umbral goblet]

Is Richy washed now? She used to be my goat

[atomic abyss]

One of the better SR BBs at least
Not top few though

[still knot]

is there a guide for early players to late game players?

[still knot]

Done so what now?

I used it

[mighty rose]

Is this thing good, guys? I see a lot of people equipping it on vanguard ships.

[mighty rose]

My Lex II and WDP is not high level enough, and i don't even have Aurora

[tulip tinsel]

extra niche

[agile temple]

This might be a really dumb question but i just want to make sure. For the gacha system on event banner it says SR is 7% and the two rate up chars are 2% each. How exactly does this work? Is it like i hit the 7% and then i have a 4% total of getting one of the rate up chars? I feel like that cant be right because my first SR was unryuu and that seems like a low chance

[rain lantern]

Hi im stuck at main story 2-1 what should i do

[tulip tinsel]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/
just exit it and read this

[agile temple]

When i say 4% total i mean like theres a 96% to get (another random sr? Some other pool?) which just doesnt seem right and i feel dumb for not understanding 😭

[rain lantern]

Oh so have 1 fleet instead of 2

[tulip tinsel]

buy unicorn, portland, helena and pennsylvania from guild shop and use those

[rain lantern]

Ooo okay lemme find

[agile temple]

Yes, im also new at like stage 5-1 and im also still using 1 fleet

[knotty jolt]

Here is an image from limbus company as this is part of Korean law and hopefully this'll explain how gachas work

[boreal wagon]

the 2% rate up just explains how the 7% are made up

you dont hit 7% and then have to also hit 2%

[tulip tinsel]

if u new then don't gamble on this event rn just daily 1 light

[knotty jolt]

~~Soon dead or alive collab too ~~

[tulip tinsel]

that too but mainly just bcs they're bad

[agile temple]

Ahh okay so the 7% is 4% from the rateups and 3% to get another random SR? so actually better than 50 50 chance of getting one of the rateups?

[agile temple]

Damn are the chars bad? I did 60 pulls on it

But i have no more gold to gamble lol

[knotty jolt]

Most ships are generally fodder

Not often when a new SR can shake the meta, the newest would have been Cowpens

[agile temple]

How long ago was this?

[knotty jolt]

She was in lexi2 event in december of 2025

roughly 4 months ago

[agile temple]

Ah

[boreal wagon]

more or less, essentially 2% chance to get Rate Up A, 2% chance to get rate up B and 3% chance for any other random
in the usual event format its actually 2%, 2%, 0.5% for a non rate up event ship and then 2.5% for the rest
(all of this simply just totals 7%)

[knotty jolt]

RNG likes to fuck me

[agile temple]

And the only pity is the 400 for a free UR right

[boreal wagon]

correct

[agile temple]

Thank you very much, you have cleared my deep confusion
