[boreal wagon]

should also be noted that the pity is actually what is commonly referred to as a spark - since it doesnt take a draw and early copies dont reset it

crucially we also have 2 versions of it, the permanent spark that is shared among all permanent and non-UR event banners
and the UR event banners themselves.
These are treated separately (as in spark on permament cant be used on UR events and vice versa) and UR event spark is also lost at the end of the event

[agile temple]

Ohh this makes sense for advice i saw somewhere online, i kept seeing that noobs should save 400 pulls for event banners and i assume that is for the UR event spark. Does that reset per event? (I assume so based on the advice i have seen)

[boreal wagon]

yeah thats what i meant by the end of my statement, every UR event is its own 200 pull spark that does not carry over
(also note that 200 pulls is 400 cubes for events)

[agile temple]

Oh naw wait 800 😭 i thought 1 pull just adds 2 to the count

[boreal wagon]

nah its a 400 cube spark

so you do 200 pulls total

[agile temple]

Oh phew

You scared me for a sec 😭 i just had my terminology mixed up

[boreal wagon]

nah i did also first write it wrong cuz i got confused myself

[eternal basalt]

~~Now CN anni adds 2 URs to Gacha just to spite Lars ~~

[hard dock]

Event shop prio?

[hard dock]

Genshincore

[eternal basalt]

The gear, rest is as usual

[hard dock]

Okayy ty

Did they ban datamines

Is the gear any good?

Who should I give those to

[nocturne magnet]

where these paws lead to or what kind of puzzle is this?

[bright tusk]

how good is ozornoy?

[undone plover]

[nocturne magnet]

thanks

[undone plover]

https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/728

[agile temple]

Sorry im new but the gear is the two card looking things and the arrows right

[tulip tinsel]

yes

[opaque monolith]

is there any gearing guide? im a newer player

[stable badger]

what's THE strongest CV fleet now? been using this for like 2 years now

[stable badger]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wWMIzaUKISAXMbOEnmsuuLkO9PesabpdTUWdosvHygM/edit?gid=1859764162#gid=1859764162 yes. have fun. it's looong

[stark eagle]

He can somebody help me with chapter 14-4 hard mode my boss fleet keeps Dying and my mob fleet can't clear the hol map

[stable badger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GKdHpmC4Jk&t=1312s

[opaque monolith]

also wqhats the best war archives stage to ''farm'' or do

[late flame]

the answer is none really

[stable badger]

you don't really have to bother. unless you like uber whale and lazy about moving gear. in that case you farm in there purely for "more" of something, than simply cuz it's best. because frankly, best gear, is Rainbow gear, and that you can only buy during events or craft in Gear Lab

[wind hazel]

parallel superimposition for hvar
divergest chessboard for ironblood ships
universe in unison/passionate polaris SP5 for commander level

the rest of war archives is not worth the time

[stable badger]

personally i do fallen wings cuz Steam Catapults for CVs. but that's cuz i'm lazy moving catapults around

[wind hazel]

very bad way of getting steam catapult

[opaque monolith]

[stable badger]

oh right. mirror event has Washing machine

[onyx flame]

easier one to read https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide

[wind hazel]

also very bad way of getting washing machiine

[stable badger]

i'm listening

[wind hazel]

best way to get steam catapult is through gold techbox
best way to get washing machine is through research academy

the only gear worth farming is hvar, and hvar only

[onyx flame]

also just make sure to read the disclaimers
keep forgetting to mention that

[wind hazel]

i actually dont know if wdp is better or sirius is better

[onyx flame]

well just make both, no need to think

[wind hazel]

maybe wdp is stronger since hakuhou boost

[wind hazel]

what's your point?

[stable badger]

it's all farmed. my golden boxes have been a scam for 8 years(? since beta) straight.

[wind hazel]

so you wasted tons of oil, is that what you're trying to say

[late flame]

i could screenshot my 4 pages of catapults all from boxes but heh

[muted wind]

no offense, i have half that amount of catapults and i rarely need to move them

[stable badger]

also: just noticed that Hvars are in archives... i know what i'll do from tomorrow onwards

[wind hazel]

was i talking to the wall this entire time

[inland shoal]

Imagine opening tech boxes

[muted wind]

apparently

[muted wind]

real, i have like 5k spare gold boxes and am too lazy to open them

[late flame]

[tulip tinsel]

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

[stable badger]

sory mate. but i ain't sitting here filtering through the channel all day. i see what i see when i'm active in conversation. and i meant that i bothered looking because YOU pointed it out. so thanks~

[wind hazel]

mate you're either blind or attention span of a goldfish, sorry

not the first message either

[late flame]

-# selective blindness vibes

[stable badger]

yes. you wrote that, so i started scrolling. hence saw that yorktown 2 event is in archives

[wind hazel]

🆒

[wary hawk]

Come on Mori, you get paid to do your job properly

[wind hazel]

i need a 20% raise and 5 days paid vacation

[wary hawk]

30% no vacation

[stable badger]

i was not sarcastic, or trying anything by it. i was geniunely thankfull for pointing out i can do something Better with my archives time

[late flame]

I haven't touched archive like since jan 2023

[wind hazel]

gl farming, make sure to use high efficiency combat logistic plans when you do war archives

[stable badger]

btw. what does WDP mean?

[tulip tinsel]

william d porter

uss UR DD

[mighty tulip]

About to hit ur exchange what’s the usual rec?

[opaque monolith]

lowkey i dont understand the gearing

[wind hazel]

musashi

[robust onyx]

Musashi

[wary hawk]

This is a very common issue so don't feel too bad

[mighty tulip]

Okay awesome I was like it’s probably her but I was wanting to go Yorktown ii because I have Lexii

And can develop Kearsarge soon

[wind hazel]

depends on what bb you have

[mighty tulip]

Only Soyuz and Francesco

[wind hazel]

soyuz mlb?

[mighty tulip]

Yep mlb on boss

[opaque monolith]

idk if anyone has time but id appreciate an in vc explanation, or if anyone has a video ill take that too

[wind hazel]

it's an option to skip musashi if you dont plan on tackling w15/16 anytime soon

plus alsace and zwei are gonna come around soonish

[wary hawk]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide This is a good place to start

Not sure if any decent resource exists in non text format

[stark eagle]

Does somebody know how to one shot the meta boss?

[stark eagle]

Thanks

[mighty tulip]

I just got to w13

[muted wind]

admittedly, musashi wouldn't hurt either since you only have 1 UR BB, but you got the things to make yorktwo work, so i guess whichever you prefer

[nocturne magnet]

any ship i need to look out for as a beginner in the next update?

[mighty tulip]

Okay, I figured after I dev Anchorage I can start dev FDG or Kearsarge

[late flame]

nope

[ivory pawn]

Next update is . Calm before the collab storm.

[tulip tinsel]

kear useless without 513 of her bps

[eternal basalt]

3

[stark eagle]

Does somebody know what fleet i need to use at chapter - 16 ???

[sleek bolt]

guys, does proto FW-190 G-3/R1 worth to craft ?
look like normal fighter tho

[tulip tinsel]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-16-fleets
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-16-mechanics

[stark eagle]

Thanks

[stable badger]

donno how to help, if you don't understand like, anything. general rule is HE ammo type is strong vs light armour, AP, strong vs Heavy Armour. "normal" ammo is kinda meh. mob fleets, like HE ammo, cuz most enemies on screen are light armour, but some bosses are also light armour, so it's not like HE is exclusive mob, and AP is exclusive boss. so, you kinda mix and match, but since you new, you go ahead and use whatever you have available, and if you like the game, you'll slowly get better and better gear.

[wind hazel]

it's the best plane for support fleet. craft if you need them

not meant to be used as regular fighter, solely only for support fleet

[sleek bolt]

thanks, i gonna read more about this "support fleet" thing now

[muted wind]

(support fleet as in the extra CVs for air support in w15/16)

[eternal basalt]

I mean, if you completed w15. you know everything there is about it

[wind hazel]

this is more or less the nerd shit you can do at w15 16

[whole crypt]

100 days sounds reasonable to aim for another 49 rainbow prints?

[wind hazel]

unlikely

but who's to say someone won't ever strike a lottery eh

[whole crypt]

what was the "average" again on gear focus?

[muted wind]

oh cool i'm in the same boat with rainbow bp. maybe i should check if i am closer to getting another older piece of gear

[wind hazel]

i forgor, something 0.71? or something something

[muted wind]

-# okay i am not switching to PR3 for a drake gun so i guess i'll live

[whole crypt]

sounds like I can aim for another q152 from now till early Jul then?

[wind hazel]

probably can

some got meck gun within 2 months so 100 days is totally doable

[whole crypt]

yeh that's what I was thinking

[wind hazel]

but they are also outlier

[whole crypt]

I am one of those outliers

[wind hazel]

but 100 days sound very average ish

[whole crypt]

the question is what to do with the time between finishing the next copy and PR9 starting

[onyx flame]

wasnt it closer to 0.8 a day

[wind hazel]

think so

[whole crypt]

yeh sounds like it can work out just what to do with the spare time after that

[wind hazel]

not like researching other series will be better. maybe hind gun? but who uses CA

[onyx flame]

all i know is im trying to crunch maybe 2 la9 and a nakh before pr9

[whole crypt]

I have 4 hindenburng guns so no ball really

[wind hazel]

you started s8 late right? lul

[onyx flame]

yea, i return uh after slightly after pr8 release and was on pr6 for like a month or 2 before swapping

[undone plover]

0.8 was “average” I think but i remember sushi saying it could even be higher

[stable badger]

how many meck. guns should we have by now? on average? 3?

[wind hazel]

to truly know the average we need 1000 volunteers

[signal path]

Is mogador gun craftable? In gearlab

[undone plover]

Start recruiting

[signal path]

Then where do we get it?

[onyx flame]

wait for her rerun in like after cn anni

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 gph combined not even 50

[signal path]

When was cn anniv again?

[onyx flame]

end of may

by after i mean like after after since cn anni will get a new ur as well iirc

[signal path]

Global is August right?

Whats best for newb player to wish?

[onyx flame]

111 nakh bps and 18 la9 bps maybe im cooked

[late flame]

Aurora. Light cruiser

[undone plover]

Aurora + 1

[onyx flame]

for wishing well? if you want to be efficient pick something from light
if not just go for whatever you like

[signal path]

Isnt she purple?

[wind hazel]

yes and she's good

[onyx flame]

very good at her niche

[undone plover]

Still one of the best support ships when her skill is applicable

[stable badger]

Aurora +2. i actually got her from my 2nd wishing well. 1st time she refused to drop.

[signal path]

Is cowpens not available in wishing well?

[wind hazel]

no

[undone plover]

Event limited
Needs to rerun first then archive to perma after

[signal path]

How about perseus ?

[wind hazel]

which is ~3years

[undone plover]

Available but not worth

[signal path]

Yeah I came back too late

That was last Christmas right

[wind hazel]

it's ok by then she will be powercrept

[undone plover]

If u have aurora u can do volga/aquila if u have many coobs
Otherwise stick to light pool

Was zuihou added to perma

[onyx flame]

not yet i think

[signal path]

Aurora is in light pool perma right?

[eternal basalt]

Zuihou didn't even rerun, i's far away for perma

[stable badger]

we still have Unicorn retro

[undone plover]

I doubt she will rerun tho
She will go straight to perma iirc but yeah maybe not yet

[eternal basalt]

One ship events rerun

[undone plover]

Oh did marseillaise rerun?

My bad I misremembered

[eternal basalt]

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

[undone plover]

Weird these rerun but 🦍 event didnt
Manjuu doesnt want me to have 100% cr

[eternal basalt]

She did a raid.... raid's don't rerun

[undone plover]

Yeah

[stark eagle]

He i don't have the two ships circles in Red for chapter 16 with what can i replace them with?

[wind hazel]

shimanto, gouden leeuw

[soft raft]

How do you not have San Diego

[stark eagle]

Do also know what Equipment i should use on shimanto and gouden leeuw

[stark eagle]

I dont like her

[stable badger]

as a sandy server player, i feel personally attacked

[stark eagle]

So the fleet with Unicorn should get Gouden Leeuw

[undone plover]

Is the second fleet for boss only?
just curious

[stark eagle]

Sorry i just can't like her😔

[stark eagle]

Yes

[exotic sorrel]

Unicorn retrofit exists though

[stable badger]

https://tenor.com/view/azur-lane-san-diego-parade-sandy-meme-gif-25215032

[late flame]

unicorn is objectively better than percy

[exotic sorrel]

How big of a help is Independence Ret's new skill cuz I haven't gotten it yet and she's done

[muted wind]

it makes her first airstrike load faster and provides AVI/RLD buffs to all fleets when she's deployed. so... very useful

[late flame]

yep indep is in 16-4 fleet as well
(soyuz placeholder for yorktown2 lol)

[hard dock]

What do I do with event auxes

[wind hazel]

no i'd put gouden on boss

but no harm trying the opposite

shimanto synergize with musashi better though

[late flame]

If you have the ship that the aux is for, equip it when said ship is MLB (max stars)

[stark eagle]

But then i have two tank in my boss fleet?

[hard dock]

[wind hazel]

what's wrong with that

[wary hawk]

You should aim to have two tanks in every fleet

[hard dock]

They aren't ship specific though or are they

[wind hazel]

16-4 boss vanguard pressure is very high, it's good to be tanky

i've seen some fleet even use napoli gouden guam

[stark eagle]

Not sure I thought only use one tank

[stark eagle]

Thanks

[wind hazel]

main point of using gouden is for her aa, her tankiness is very nice bonus

you can also use z52, she's also great

[stark eagle]

Where should i put here if i used her And is she better?

[wind hazel]

anywhere really

i used laf2 shimanto z52 for my mob

[late flame]

Z52 is usually in shimanto's spot in fleet 1 - i took her out for meta fight

[stark eagle]

So laf2 at Front shimanto mid and z52 back so what Equipment does z52 need?

[wind hazel]

can be asw gear

[stark eagle]

Thank you very much

[stable badger]

on Moskva, should i put a twin 134mm for more gun power? in aa slot

[wind hazel]

if aa isnt a concern sure

[stable badger]

is aa a concern in a CV fleet? or in OpS?

[wind hazel]

opsi usually no

but in opsi it also makes no difference what aa gun you put on moskva

[sleek bolt]

guys, Gannet vs TBM Avenger VT-51
is there any huge upgrade between them ? (for w14 & w16 sub)
look same to me tho

[viscid swift]

I sincerely doubt that.

[viscid swift]

Not a significant difference no.

[timid beacon]

So this will reset next month? Or will it restock because I can’t tell since last time I did opsi my menu wansnt like this

[wary hawk]

It will reset next month

[timid beacon]

Oh alright thanks a bunch

[umbral goblet]

When was it changed?
U used to be able to buy everything

[stable badger]

mm.. Maybe 5 catapults from boxes in 8 years. what i got most was the gold quint. torps, crane, helena's SG, and a whoooole bunch on purples.

oh. and the destroyer bomber

[timid beacon]

This month for me, legit had to wait for a new restock every 3 days now it’s nice.

[viscid swift]

And how many Techboxes have you actually opened over those 8 years.

This almost purely from opening Tech Boxes.

[timid beacon]

Wow that’s a lot

[stable badger]

all of them. until ops was added. after i let em gather dust, since i was just building stuff from plates and stuff farmed in archives

[viscid swift]

Given that predates the introduction of oil caps and thus clearing rewards, not to mention that was more than half a decade ago now. I would dare to say that's not many.

[stable badger]

indeed. have over 1k from each, in there hey i got 1.

[safe wagon]

is it worth to MLB a ship i like as an early player or should i save all my bulins?

[ivory pawn]

If you’re actively using the ship, 100% yes ignore the rest of this message.
If purple or lower, go right ahead.
If gold, maybe.
If UR, it really, really depends on context.

[stable badger]

i'd like to say yes. that said, Who is said ship?

[safe wagon]

Richelieu

[stable badger]

yeah. you can. she has Preload, so she can work on mob fleets as high as ch12. maybe even ch13?

[safe wagon]

okay thanks!

[woven star]

Any other bbs?

Richeliue ship is more about tech. As all other iris ships she has only 2 mount main gun and 75% chance for barrage

[safe wagon]

i have Pennsylvania and Nelson too

[woven star]

Nelson cheapest variant after retro and augment her barrage has 100% chance iirc

Panny usually beginner fleet recommendation. So safe to swap on Nelson in later game

At least with Richeliue you can get Gascone from research. She much better after she got augment afaik

[safe wagon]

ty!

[woven star]

strange that Richeliue doesn't has augment still. It's really old ship

I'll hope Reno get augment for red skill and can has stackable buff for CV/L damage

[viscid swift]

Besides the usual grind, not particularly.

[woven star]

How long you play? You can try get some cubes from opsi 5 star reward. But yeah nothing special

[stable badger]

you got the dailies, only to hope some get in rotation in shop for coins and PvP currency

[woven star]

I mean some opsi maps not hard to close for 5 star if you play it before

that's how I got 15 more cubes in Implacable event. And still got her from pity points

[stable badger]

then don't worry. i still remember the event for U-101... i wasted like 600-800 cubes, and got her in the last hour of the event. then when rerun came back, got her dub. 1st day. still salty about it

[hollow gust]

[woeful laurel]

best stage/way to farm T1 parts?

[whole crypt]

that depends on whether you're early or lategame

[woeful laurel]

late game

[whole crypt]

have you been exclusively grinding above ch12

[woeful laurel]

yep

[whole crypt]

then go back to ch12
buy from medal shop
lowcost T3/B3

if you have a patience mass open and scrap T2/T3 boxes

[woeful laurel]

how bout 1:1 the early chaps?

[whole crypt]

why do it in early chapters with no worthy drops when there's an event map that at least gives you points for something

unless you already did like 120k or some shit

[woeful laurel]

i think there are times when there's no event so i end up farming ch 13

[whole crypt]

then farm 12 instead
and like I said medal shop has a bunch

[woeful laurel]

oh but it seems the medal shop is good, i don't usually scrolled down that far

thanks for the tips @whole crypt !

[crystal ore]

So I have reach chapter 10. How should I build my 2nd fleeT?

[whole crypt]

repeat 9-1 till safe
rotate in low level ships into mob fleet
I personally recommend just moving soyuz to fleet 1 and powering through to ch12 before bothering

[nocturne magnet]

hey whats worth farming in war archives for beginners?

[viscid swift]

Have you reached Chapter 12 yet?

[nocturne magnet]

no, only 7 but it wouldnt let me push through without having lvl50 commander

so i figured maybe its time to focus on war archives

[viscid swift]

Well you're not going to be farming much with a fleet that low, Passionate Polaris SP5 for commander XP would be your best bet.

[stable badger]

excuse me but... how the FFFF, did i get jintsu if it ain't discovered?

[ivory pawn]

Hard mode maybe?

[nocturne magnet]

noted and thanks for the help

[stable badger]

but neither have it. it should be the top one. and i "own her"

[viscid swift]

Did you check the correct map?

[stable badger]

yes. for both. normal and hard

[ivory pawn]

Bug then ig.

[whole crypt]

probably bug yeh

[stable badger]

and i remember she wasn't as bad to grind like 8-4 maya(she took 8 painfull months)

[whole crypt]

yes because she's not an SR

probably higher rates because of rarity

[stable badger]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Jintsuu somebody change it lol

[stable badger]

ah... yeah. probably

[whole crypt]

change what
I'm actually not 100% sure if she drops outside of boss nodes just because she's not an SR
if she's listed as boss only then that might be the case

[stable badger]

yeah. she listed as boss node only.

[crystal ore]

Wait. I have to wipe out all of them in SP stage?

[whole crypt]

no, but you need to get through like 7 mob fights or so before boss spawn

[viscid swift]

You might want to change your formation to Double Line.

[plucky ridge]

Out of the 6 Standard URs i dont have, who should i pick based on my ships

[viscid swift]

Musashi. Keep getting coppies of her until she's max limit broken.

You might also want to give this a read.
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

[crystal ore]

The boss actually spawn first tho

[plucky ridge]

Why tho, everyone told me to pick Musashi but i dont see the reason, even tho her abilities are pretty broken

[crystal ore]

Oh wait. that is sub boss

[plucky ridge]

Any reason outside of that

[crystal ore]

sub boss have orange layout right?

[plucky ridge]

Another question
You say i should avoid UvH
Should i get FDG instead?

Or just wait for BisZwei

[whole crypt]

those are elite nodes

[crystal ore]

Oh. So I have to clear out 3 of them and 4 more mobs to get the final boss right?

[whole crypt]

they're considered as mob nodes, you just have to kill 7 of any of them before boss

[stable badger]

FDG is from PR. different "thingy" to judge

[plucky ridge]

I know

[crystal ore]

Oh. So i waste my power on clearing 3 of them

[viscid swift]

Do you need an Iron Blood Battleship specifically?

Either way, as far as coinable DRs go Plymouth would be the priority if at all possible.

[plucky ridge]

Well my Iron Blood fleet runs Bismarck Seydlitz and Peter Strasser, so i guess

[whole crypt]

they do have better potential drops and better XP

[viscid swift]

Well the usual disclaimer then.

And even setting that aside.

[plucky ridge]

Oh okay

Then how should i know which ships synergise together?
For example i put NJ with Vanguard

[stable badger]

that's the neat part.

[viscid swift]

First and foremost you should focus on making sure your ships are good, synergy is a bonus on top of that.

[stable badger]

well, now Nakhimov and Moskva are probably the best Synergy combo. since both are super strong on their own, but together, makes nakh.'s slow into a freeze. cuz same faction ships.

[viscid swift]

As I said, give this a read.
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

[hollow gust]

Moskva doesn't suddenly change Soviet fleets , more often then not you will use Soyuz with Nahkimov just the same

[stable badger]

yes. i simply said they synergy well. not that they make a faction. you look at pairs. maybe 3-4 ships to tie themselves together. putting 6 N.parliment ships in a fleet will be worse than putting at most, 3(nakh.,soyuz, moskva) and rounding out with ships from other factions that are strong on their own

[glossy granite]

Hasnt brunhilde been comming back like 3 years in row or something? Or im tweaking on fent as usual

[tulip tinsel]

the event map gets added to war archive and she gets added to the perma pool

[fleet marten]

I know this is late, but its fine to ignore the event as of now for the sake of cubes and event?

[woven star]

New ships more about fleet tech. New auxes - who know. They limited so better get them

They not best but at least one for acc looks promising

[sand flume]

who should be in the remaining 3 slot for this team guys

[tulip tinsel]

against what but lion ig for 3rd main slot

[sand flume]

idk bosses?

[gray sphinx]

I mean usually there’s only one answer for Soyuz nahk fleets and that’s heavy/med bossing fleets plus Moskva which just makes the fleet better

[gray sphinx]

But yes add lion for the third main fleet slot

[sand flume]

How bout the vanguards

[gray sphinx]

Probably like trafalgar and uhhh agir??? Maybe idk last slot can kind of be a flex ngl. Kind of wish you had more DR ships

Like completely finished

But that fleet could change if you’re planning on doing campaign w15 and whatnot

[tulip tinsel]

that team can't even function cuz half is not mlb

[sand flume]

Just planning

[gray sphinx]

Well yes he should work on that too

He’s probably working on a future fleet thing just to see what he can do in the future

[gray sphinx]

Definitely MLB them all before using

If it’s like event stages then you could really run almost anything lol

[viscid swift]

You know there's only saying, plans never survive contact with the enemy.

It is good to plan but remain flexible and have contingencies.

[exotic sorrel]

Is it okay for someone at my level to do a siren boss

[forest palm]

with those adapts you may struggle

[exotic sorrel]

Oh...

[cinder sky]

How to buy watermelon dorm theme? I can't seem to find it in the themes in shop

[exotic sorrel]

It's fine...! I trust Musashi can carry me (hopefully)

Gonna do it right now and hope for the best

[timid beacon]

You are missing like half the adapt that you will be needing as far as I know

[exotic sorrel]

Yeah I got up to 22 bars of HP only 😔

Oh I didn't know I can fight her again with the same fleet that's nice

[timid beacon]

Corrosion level 1 spam and unlocking knew zones and spending to get adapt tune ups is a quick way to get them it only took me a few days but it’s good to have 200 of each

(Someone correct me if I’m wrong)

[exotic sorrel]

My Vanguard fleet didn't take that much dmg I think I could've gotten it with Saratoga instead of Unicorn on that fleet

[timid beacon]

Is this c5 or c6 or c4

Corrosion

[exotic sorrel]

Honestly I don't remember... I used the coordinate item thing? It showed VI methinks

Wait I'm dumb VI just means 6

[timid beacon]

Yeah but your moral will be low and ngl ships with low moral or in other words "toll of war" debuff will pretty much make the ships unusable meaning you’d have to use the group and rest command to heal them all again to use them on there normal state

[timid beacon]

Oh yeah you ain’t cleaning that with 100 adaptability

[exotic sorrel]

Also wait I didn't know corrosion 1 was good enough to farm adapt tunes all I did was try to capture every single explorable sector as I could. The fight ended up not going as I anticipated (two tries)

[exotic sorrel]

Took me two tries honestly 😭 I thought it wouldn't be that bad since I had Musashi but ig I overestimated her

[timid beacon]

I’d focus on unlocking areas since the more you unlock the more rewards you’d get progressing and the more you unlock you’ll unlock other shop sections like this

[timid beacon]

Its not that you overestimated it’s that your adaptability is like half of what the max will count

Like 205-200-200 something like that would be good do play on any corrosion level and by then it’s your ships that will be the issue if they can keep up

[exotic sorrel]

Oh wow I've never seen that shop before

[timid beacon]

So you want it to be like this sort of

[timid beacon]

Yeah it’s good to get a good chunk of them until you’ll be able to just buy the tune ups and just worry about the zones when you have the max amount of adaptability

[exotic sorrel]

Gonna go ahead and clear as much as I can rn thank you

[timid beacon]

Yeah no problem I know most of what I said is at least somewhat right and anyone here should correct me if I’m wrong since I’m also a newbie

[onyx flame]

dont buy the adapts

[timid beacon]

But it’s sooo much eassierrr and fasterr

But I guess you don’t have to

[onyx flame]

its a waste, you get enough from just clearing the map and loggers

[timid beacon]

Ohh alright sounds good

[tulip tinsel]

get more adapts and then try later in month no reason to skip there is reward milestones even if you can't fully clear it

[exotic sorrel]

I'm glad it gives me a second chance to fight again

[timid beacon]

Are these the same I can’t tell I think they are.

[timid beacon]

I must be insane I though someone said no

I really need to start sleeping more hours… thank you

[onyx flame]

someone did then it got deleted

[jovial lintel]

Mustve been the wind

[olive geyser]

who should i equip with the rainbow twin 100 mm dd gun?

[timid beacon]

Well you need to say which ships though we don’t know which ones you have

[dry parcel]

What ending do I miss?

[eternal basalt]

Giving up in VR2? 7: recruit 1 girl that's not the last one and pick 1st or 2nd option

[timid beacon]

I need some help on deciding what plane i should work on getting as my first rainbow plane, Tenrai, Wyvern, Spear Fish. I’m mainly interested in dive bombers and torpedo bombers since I don’t have many exactly.

[atomic abyss]

wyvern

[dry parcel]

No that's not it

Or do I need to recruit only one?

[timid beacon]

Alright then thanks, idk if it’s alr for me to try getting the Tenrai after.

[atomic abyss]

Not as high priority

Come back when you have enough resources basically

[dry parcel]

That was it. Thx

[timid beacon]

Alright sounds good I’ll probably have It crafted by next month

Hopefully

[timid beacon]

Is this plane good to use though, so I can level it up to lvl 10

[onyx flame]

No

Just stick to helldivers

[atomic abyss]

It's shit

[timid beacon]

Alright I’ll stick with helldivers

[flint arrow]

When rerun

[viscid swift]

In due course, at the appropriate juncture, in the fullness of time, when the moment is ripe, when the necessary procedures have been completed, nothing precipitate, of course.

[pliant kayak]

How do I unlock the ending 1?

[inner delta]

We pinned the tutorial for ending

[pliant kayak]

Thank you, I've been trying a lot of recruit combinations until now, forgot there were choices in that node

[fleet marten]

For bossing, does Oumi prefer The UR Twin 138.6mm MLE 1934 (Mogador Gun) or the Twin 137mm MK1 Prototype (DD Gun for BB's and BC's)?

[woven star]

Eh?

[white agate]

pinned tutorial is kinda weird, i did get 6/7 endings with it, but for the last one the 7/7 i just recruited noone ever and picked 1st, apparently that was one way to get it too

[woven star]

[wheat ore]

is implacable an okay option for mob fleet?

[hollow gust]

there are elites that outmob her

[inland shoal]

I mean there's worse options, but she's not great at it

[white agate]

impla is basically good for bossing in situations where you need a reliable freeze

rest of roles there are SRs doing her job better

[wheat ore]

oh okay. tbh i'm not quite sure who to swap out in my fleets. i have guam instead of portland now btw. and lexington 2 instead of franklin

[viscid swift]

Swap out for what?

[wheat ore]

just like who to develop, because i'm not sure what to do. i'm just wondering who's the weakest so i can swap them out i guess

[viscid swift]

If you mean level up I would rotate out every ship that has reached level 120.

Unless you want them to reach level 125 which for half of the ships I see I would not.

[wheat ore]

oh right, how many should i leave in just to make the team strong enough for 12-4

[viscid swift]

Depending on the ships you are leveling potentially none.

[sweet delta]

Highest DPS which happens to be mog gun

[sweet delta]

Translation for EN

[finite root]

Is there some sort of pattern for the last ending?

[undone plover]

how are these endings actually unlocked?
do i have to restart from the 0 node?

[inner delta]

some yes, some not

[forest palm]

it's like a check box actually

[inner delta]

wait i think you do actually

but yeah, its not like a static you have to do always from start

[undone plover]

i have 2/7
and repeating last one and picking other options is doing nothing for me
recruited or not

[forest palm]

all the relevant nodes are either not marked, or marked in blue, and you just repeat those nodes to uncheck the boxes

[undone plover]

i see i see

[hollow plank]

where do i get all 7 stickers in the vagabond recruitment plan event? 😮
and all endings? th ank you!

[sweet delta]

Read the pin and read the missions

[hollow plank]

sdtill didn't wrok T_T

[undone plover]

node 3-8 have recruitable girls + last node
they will say recruited if u have done em

then follow the pin

[cloud panther]

This event is bs. Do you guys get to the 70k milestone points?

[viscid swift]

I never attempt to get to 70k for any event.

[nocturne magnet]

is there any benefit to doing the project identity?

[soft raft]

No not really
At most you can now use TB and the other people there as secretaries but that's really it

[nocturne magnet]

i see, thanks

[mental estuary]

Most stop after gold plates. 55k. For event.

[timid beacon]

So true

[sweet delta]

Most players don't exceed 10k points

[cloud panther]

Never has enough rainbow skill books

Like 2 days of Koln and they are all gone

[vestal leaf]

In the pins, ending #7 for the event story, what does it mean, recruit ONLY 1 girl that's not the last girl? Or...?

[ivory pawn]

It means don't recruit enough girls to succeed. The minimum threshold to succeed one of the options is 2 girls, so he says just recruit 1 girl. Afaik the last girl doesn't matter. Just don't recruit her, or hell don't recruit anyone.

TLDR recruit 0-1 girls total.

[timid peak]

Who to MLB between moskva, Guam, or implacable? Or wait until next UR

[vestal leaf]

That's more clear now, ty!

[void walrus]

Implacable, her slow is really good

Don't bullin her, as she's in the permanent pity pool

[robust onyx]

Wait for next UR

[timid peak]

😮 how come? Are they all good to use at 3 stars

[void walrus]

Just use any other ship with MLB
MLB is the single greatest powerup in-game

[strong tartan]

no ship is good at 0lb

[whole crypt]

rushing 6k more points in 2 hours

[whole crypt]

new URs are rarely bad but it depends more on what you already have

Moskva and Guam are both very strong vanguards but if you need main fleet then save and hope for a main fleet ship next

[whole crypt]

I do but I have 3 tact class slots to burn books and I hoard rainboe books
personally I think check how much you want to buy from shop then work with the closest milestone if it's over 55

[hushed elk]

how do i unlock the last ending

ty

[solar sapphire]

Why is 55k the stopping point?

[sweet delta]

gold plates.

60k is just a purple bulin, 70k and up are super renewable resources

[solar sapphire]

I see...

What was the last reward at? 100k?

Also, I assume with 55k points you can buy most of the important stuff in the shop?

[mental estuary]

Ya gold plates , they become important and few/far between to easily obtain.

Yes you can buy the important stuff with 55k.

[solar sapphire]

I see... Rn I have 20k

This week is the last one, yes?

[mental estuary]

The patch is in 2.5 hours so you are pretty much done for this one.

[solar sapphire]

... What?

Even the new units?

[mental estuary]

Yeah the event will be changed to a different one or will give us a week without one. And the ships will change to different ones.

[solar sapphire]

[onyx flame]

More like its poof we got no event scheluded till next week

[mental estuary]

The shop will still be there for you to buy stuff for another week. So you don't have to rush to buy every event.

[solar sapphire]

I see

What a pity, I will try to get Unryuu before she goes away

[onyx flame]

Ypu got 3 hours and 20 mins

[mental estuary]

Pull one a day on light , run your normal maps, and save cubes for next event. You will get used to the rotation after a while.

[agile temple]

Is there a way for me to see the drop % of certain ships from a map? I'm trying to get copies of Pennsylvania to limit break her and on the wiki it says she can drop from 5-1 which I just got to and wondering if it is worth farming for her here or just waiting for guild shop reset.

[sweet delta]

/droprate

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Q: What are the drop rates for __?
A: Map drop rates are unknown and cannot be datamined, due to being server-side. The only one known is 0.75% for Akagi/Kaga (individually) on 3-4. Community data collection suggests the other gold ship drop rates are somewhat similar, however.

Q: Then where should I farm for __?
A: Farm the highest map you can for it. Higher stages give more EXP, upgrade parts, equipment, and shop currency. Community data collection suggests the drop rates are also probably higher on higher worlds.

[sweet delta]

what did you buy to lock yourself out of pennsylvania?

[agile temple]

the first pennsylvania lol

[sweet delta]

just use purple bulins

[viscid swift]

Why not use Bullins.

[agile temple]

i was not sure how rare they are and was wondering if im supposed to save them for stronger chars

[viscid swift]

Purple ones not really, you can use them pretty liberally.

[agile temple]

oh alr, thank you for info

also if i already MLB a ship and pulled another copy its fine to retire right?

wait nvm i think i do need to keep 1 for retrofit

[rough vale]

bros need a guide on how to get all the endings

[agile temple]

check first pin

[nocturne magnet]

when does the server reset? at what time zone

[sweet delta]

in 2 hours and 40 minutes

[fleet berry]

Check the clock shown in the HQ menu. That shows server time.

[nocturne magnet]

nice thanks

[slate siren]

I'm following these instructions and not getting any endings, am i supposed to somehow reset the story after each run?

[ivory pawn]

When you look at the map, do you see “recruited” or “not recruited” next to VR 3 to 8?

[slate siren]

neither

[ivory pawn]

The flag’s not triggering then. Go through each stage again and start recruiting (or not) some girls. Can just tap skip, it’ll bring you to the choice.

-# Also where is that guide even from I’ve seen it posted at least a dozen times now.

[solar sapphire]

Got a question

[zinc cave]

theres a version in the 📌

[ivory pawn]

Got an answer

[solar sapphire]

What is the time for Unryuu? Got baited twice by Ranger, I thought it was 2:40 yes?

[ivory pawn]

Ik. They’re the same guide more or less.

[zinc cave]

4:20:00

[solar sapphire]

Oh

I got it in other order, thanks

[trail dagger]

Does +13 BF plane worth it? Or just save up the gold plate?

[slate siren]

ty

[inner delta]

+13 is always whenever you need it, bf is fine for boss if you dont have the hvar or you need different timing

[zinc cave]

FWIW the UR La-9, which is it's direct upgrade, beats a +13 Bf109G even at +10 everywhere except Light damage, where the HVAR Hellcat is better than both of them.

[fluid brook]

How good is PR8 Ur BB Gun?

[trail dagger]

Hmm okay , i was thinking to upgrade the BF, because i only have 1 la-9. Damn these gear for CV is hard to get

[zinc cave]

best Heavy DMG BB gun, worse than the UR Triple 406m 1940 Proto at Med DMG

[inner delta]

Yea you need 3 plane each

[zinc cave]

also important to note that to +13 an UR equipment you need 3x the gold plates needed for a +13 SR gear

[trail dagger]

, so its either upgrade budget plane or save for premium plane

Budget plane enough?

[inner delta]

Upgrade budget good gold gear is most of the time better

[zinc cave]

unless your goal is to one shot META showdowns or other challenging fights, the Bf109G is more than enough

[trail dagger]

Okayy, thanks should be enough, i want to bet hard arbiter

Budget plane is enough for harbi?

[jovial hawk]

how do i get this achievement?

[zinc cave]

📌

[trail dagger]

Thankxz

[pseudo phoenix]

For some reason, every single one that I recruit to get the last ending wouldn't work at all for me, since I often ended up getting the same scenario

[clear harbor]

Is there a rough estimate on the % chance a yellow boss will drop from a map? Is it something like 1%? 5%? Maybe character/map specific?

[keen bloom]

how can i archive the vagabond event memories 12 and 14 ?

[onyx flame]

Check the pins

[onyx flame]

[pseudo phoenix]

Hey wait a minute, I already done that one

[bright tusk]

what is the best gear for soyuz and nakhimov in 16-4 boss?

[pseudo phoenix]

Must be the one that I had to recruit everyone and then third option

How did I missed that

[paper timber]

How big is the update package?

[fiery swan]

What does "skip last one" mean

[spark patio]

where should i put Cowpens? boss or mob?

[whole crypt]

in most cases mobbing

depends on the actual stage you're doing and what ships you're using overall

[spark patio]

any ship that would help heal for boss fleet? or it wasn't necessary to have a healer in boss fleet?

[whole crypt]

some late chapters may want a secondary healer in the boss fleet, which Cowpens can fit in, which is why it depends

for anything 13 and below you should basically strive to build a boss fleet that requires no healing, at least after you stop using a single fleet for everything

[wicked dove]

Is the upcoming event CV a UR?

[onyx flame]

[whole crypt]

isn't next event DOA rerun 2

[onyx flame]

Yea

[late flame]

something something
#game-news message

[whole crypt]

as far as I know it's dead week, DOA stream, then DOA rr2 next Thu

[forest palm]

sounds about right

[whole crypt]

no more URs until late May for CN anniv and who knows what it'll be

[wicked dove]

Oh ok

[whole crypt]

we don't have any UR reruns due in between as far as I can remember

[late flame]

ayane or riot

[wicked dove]

Lion rerun when lol

[spark patio]

alr thanks it bc i had her maxed and i just confused on where should i put her it's more clear now

[onyx flame]

Middle ish of Next year

[forest palm]

DoA took the second rerun slot that occurs around this time, so next UR rerun will be after May

[wicked dove]

Holy thats a while

[onyx flame]

Reruns is every 2 year

[forest palm]

kind of

[whole crypt]

it's roughly 2 years + a bit after original run

some smaller events get way off schedule if shit gets packed

[onyx flame]

Rounding error

[late flame]

and devs doing darts

[exotic sorrel]

Has Bismarck Zwei gotten a rerun yet?

[forest palm]

yes

[onyx flame]

Shes next on getting added to perma

[exotic sorrel]

Ah so that would explain why she's gonna be put in the UR selection

Damn it here I thought I'd be able to get her again if she reruns 😔

[hollow hollow]

Essex retro item needs to be put in the shop still

[forest palm]

in like 4 months la

[onyx flame]

Not yet thats after it reruns this year

[hollow hollow]

4 months too late, same with Eldridge item

Retro items shouldn’t be time gated

[exotic sorrel]

Shouldn't it be the Eldridge item

[forest palm]

Essex item reruns as well

[onyx flame]

its released during an ecent for anni idk what your expecting

[exotic sorrel]

Thought I remembered a chat somewhere that said Eldridge item is most likely the next one to be added to shop

[hollow hollow]

I was out on deployment at the time. I get missing banners but missing events that give a retro is dangling a carrot

[onyx flame]

Eldridge will get added to the shop, essex will get rerun

[hollow hollow]

Eldridge had a re-run event already I thought

[exotic sorrel]

Oh that's great my Eldridge is almost done retrofitting

[hollow hollow]

tfw sitting on Essex missing her retro item

why do they feel the need to have a cuck chair in the game for things like that

it costs them nothing to put those things into the shop after the event

[forest palm]

let's just go back to 2019 where they shotguned events cause that won't piss people off...

[scarlet cosmos]

essex item is in august right

[hollow hollow]

I started in frostfall

[forest palm]

I've been playing since global release, congratulations

[hollow hollow]

idc man, I was giving a ref point for when i started

also Shuten is mid

I remember playing frostfall as a new player burning thousands of oil for nothing because I could only do the solo fleet clears on hard mode, and got ONE single BP drop in hundreds of clears.

scam event

[exotic sorrel]

Wait this whole time the research priority can give me the blueprints for a specific gear I need...?

This whole time I was trying to convert my already max PR ships and buying in core shop for the champagne gun..

[onyx flame]

Champ is pr3 which was once a research season as well but you shouldnt be on that season at all since everything in it can be acquired through easier means

[exotic sorrel]

Oh alright thank you for the additional tips 🙏

[hollow hollow]

You can get the gun from the gear lab too

[onyx flame]

Easier to get it from protocore shop

[scarlet cosmos]

do we know what reno's augment will do

[onyx flame]

Someone might have datamine it

[whole crypt]

CN has it, 20s barrage and higher FR/AA buff per stack

aug itself is fprld

[forest palm]

continuing the theme of Sandy Lite

[whole crypt]

what else can you expect from a non-retrofit atlanta

[forest palm]

in a way...it's less expensive albeit the efficacy is questionable

[whole crypt]

if you want cheap juneau exists

[boreal wagon]

not that it makes any meaningful difference but she also gains 15% rld on battle start in addition to AA/FP

[whole crypt]

yeh they added rld to that part too

[scarlet cosmos]

theres no point in using sandy lite for end game right?

[forest palm]

I doubt this UE will change her viability for end game, unless the barrage does something dumb

[scarlet cosmos]

also, for PR plans, should i get PR 8 DRs first before going back to get napoli? Or just Gouden --> Napoli

[whole crypt]

pretty much, GL should be more useful overall anyway

[nocturne magnet]

how many more hours till i can log in?

[tulip tinsel]

5

6h maint

[fiery swan]

I pray that unzen gets added next after that, she's the only gacha ur I don't have

[onyx flame]

she is indeed the next one to get added to perma after biszwei

[mighty rose]

I only missed Alsace

[eternal basalt]

She is the next rerun

[eternal basalt]

Ever heard of FOMO?

[soft raft]

At least it only takes a year for retro items to rerun

And a year can pass by quicker than you think

[wind hazel]

can't believe it's 2027 tomorrow

[eternal basalt]

3 years for Sandy retro item when I joined. People have it so easy these days

[viscid swift]

Allow me to be blunt that's on you for not doing your research before hand. No one farms Gear Blueprints in this game anymore outside of one edgecase.

[hollow hollow]

I was a new player.

"That's on you for not doing research."

4head

[viscid swift]

And and when you start a game you aren't allowed to ask around about game mechanics? Whether the drop rates justified the farming Blueprints?

[hollow hollow]

again, that's something that's in the game mechanics baseline, though. its not like im crying about missing event ships or event gears

[viscid swift]

Utter tosh.

[viscid swift]

Literally every gacha game has fomo, the industry is practically built on it.

[hollow hollow]

the fact that I got 1 drop and you get 20 from the milestones was which meant i did, in fact, waste all that time, and the shitstorm that followed with how many people complained about how terrible the event was overall kind of kickstarted them actually fixing the rewards

[viscid swift]

What "fix" prey tell.

[hollow hollow]

apples and oranges. this isn't complaining about missing an event reward, it's not being able to use a core part of the game mechanics that other ships already have in the core shop.

[hollow hollow]

you now can always grind for a guaranteed gear bp from milestones, and not rely on drops making up the rest

[viscid swift]

Except this is an event reward. That's how all retrofit items have been done since 2019.

[hollow hollow]

it's not like missing multiple skyraiders cause i wasn't playing when that event first fired.

imagine a world where they just stick it in the core shop from the launch of the event and the event is just general materials for the retrofit

problem solved, forever

[wind hazel]

nah

[hollow hollow]

finish the event gives you a core shop coupon or something

[viscid swift]

I could, but you bitching about it every other time you come in here isn't going to change that.

[hollow hollow]

what would there be to complain about

if it's avail in the shop, the answer is 'farm your hard modes and wait'

[viscid swift]

This is hardly the appropriate place to complain.

If you so desire, take it to #al-general or the empty void that #game-feedback is where someone who gives a tosh will read it.

[hollow hollow]

okay, playing that ivory tower bullshit just puts you on my ignore list

[viscid swift]

It's quite literally against the channel's rules.

Which you can find in the pins.

[hollow hollow]

anyway, the rest of you, have a good day, see you after maint

[wind hazel]

weekly gph drama quota used up

[viscid swift]

Hardly drama considering people are too incompetent to realize the devs don't read feedback from this server period.

[hollow hollow]

im sure someone else will scrape the barrel

[wind hazel]

that will be me

[eternal basalt]

~~Thank god stream is on monday ~~

[hollow hollow]

does nimi bot have a command for w14 and w15 help pages

[viscid swift]

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

[eternal basalt]

Try /w14 and /w15 in #bot-spam

[viscid swift]

They're all hosted on the same site.

Best to just bookmark it.

[hollow hollow]

found it thanks

[exotic sorrel]

Do later stages of hardmode campaign give better chances of an SR retroprint

[atomic abyss]

yes, tho anecdotal data suggests not by much

[exotic sorrel]

I just need 1 more to unlock Independence' retrofit skill 😔

[atomic abyss]

something something 3* rewards give gold retro BP

[exotic sorrel]

Wait I forgot about that thank you for reminding

[atomic abyss]

[exotic sorrel]

Pretty sure the other chapters I have aren't done yet and I went straight to the later ones

[atomic abyss]

yeah it's kinda easy to forget

[jovial lintel]

Is it worth spending ressources for research? Im barely getting any with no requirements

[inner delta]

The one that have no requirements is bad since its long and barely give shit, you can do face for bps or q for gear

[jovial lintel]

Ight bet

[crystal ore]

Which one I should buy tho?

[tulip tinsel]

ca skip dd kazagumo

[crystal ore]

thanks. Is she good for 2nd fleeT?

[wind hazel]

dont need to skip. just get whichever faction tech you need from the CA

[ivory pawn]

She’s fine for 2nd fleet; she’ll be more notable when you’re making boss fleets for Opsi/META.

[crystal ore]

ok thanks. I have done with chapter 9 and barely pass. Now I need to build 2nd fleet. Yet I don't know where to start

[still knot]

Is the dock space worth?

[crystal ore]

yes.

[still knot]

I'm solo xD

[crystal ore]

even more Yes

[still knot]

Kk

[hard dock]

Should I 125 Agir and/or Ply?

[crystal ore]

If I want to unlock her. I need to recruit more iron blood ship right?

[onyx flame]

get/mlb ironblood ships

and to a lesser extend level 120

[hard dock]

Roon gives tech for her

[wind hazel]

ply has priority

agir... it depends on what else you have nowadays

[crystal ore]

oh ok. how many ship I need? Or i only need 1?

I have 4 of them atm

[hard dock]

I have Brest and Moskva

[onyx flame]

you need a lot more than that and lil friedich doesnt count for faction tech

[hard dock]

Also Roon

[crystal ore]

oh damn

[hard dock]

See if you have BB in medal shop

And get Bisko

[onyx flame]

if you need more ib ship for faction tech then you prob have to head to divergent chessboard in war archive

[onyx flame]

only if they alr gotten the better option

aka alabama/ they alr got better bb options alr

[wind hazel]

can let agir stay 120

[fathom kernel]

Just to be sure, is it possible to farm sweet memories oustside of the valentine’s event ?

[tulip tinsel]

nah

how did that even come up it ended months ago lmao

[crystal ore]

here is my 2nd fleet. And here is who I have. My question is which ship I should Focusing on?

[fathom kernel]

Ikr but i didnt really gave attention before

[fathom kernel]

Honestly at this level just play shipfus u like

[onyx flame]

that is bad advice

[fathom kernel]

Tiers will matter later, but u will have time to focus before it happens

[ivory pawn]

Raise the favorites after you reach the farms (w12).

[wind hazel]

wdym focus. you just raise them all equally lol. exp book everyone to ~70-80 and start grinding

[hard dock]

Can you get this screen to show l2d / animated skins?

[wind hazel]

no

[onyx flame]

you uh technically can

[crystal ore]

What I mean is which ship i should aiming to get. I know I have to lvl them up equally tho

I also got the letter. But Idk should I get a copy of NJ or get shinano

[hard dock]

[onyx flame]

but you gotta click archive > details

[hard dock]

Oh

That's how I found out before asking

[wind hazel]

anchorage, independence are the common picks. keep the letter, use for shinano when you need her duplicate

[opaque monolith]

am i crazy or did the maintenance rewards (oi&coins) not work properly? i collected them but i didnt get anything?

[wind hazel]

they are in your mail storage

[opaque monolith]

[crystal ore]

ok thanks

[crystal ore]

how do I get anchorage tho. I can buy Independence in medal shop

Nvm. I can get her through Priority

[toxic crown]

Out of curiosity who should i choose, don’t have Essex retrofitted yet, and no Lexington II

[viscid swift]

Is Musashi max limit broken?

[toxic crown]

Just need 1 more special UR, I’ll get it through the campaign pass

[soft raft]

Nah I'd get a Musashi dupe
Then you can save the cruise pass UR Bullin for future new UR

[muted wind]

oh you mean a bulin? no, honestly, just get another musashi dupe if that's all you need. save the bulin for a new UR

[toxic crown]

I’m able to get two UR’s this month well three

[muted wind]

i'm not following, how?

[hollow gust]

and you will save them for gatcha URs

[muted wind]

... yeah, if you mean bulins, save them for new gacha URs.

[toxic crown]

I meant bulins

[muted wind]

yeah then save them. grab a musashi dupe to progress her limit break if she isn't at max.

[jovial lintel]

Are there any stages from the War Archives with an oil cap or is that only a thing once I reach chapter 9?

[inland shoal]

Iirc D3 has oil cap

But most war archive is kinda bad anyway

[muted wind]

if you want something to be able to grind with oil cap early, polaris is an option.

[silk sphinx]

all D stages have oilcap

if it's another event format the last stage or two also have oilcap normally

but yeah they're not particularly worth farming normally

[jovial lintel]

Yeah thats fair

[crystal ore]

How good is she?

[muted wind]

honestly, only really worth it if you can't continue with the campaign due to your HQ level

[inland shoal]

She's okay

[silk sphinx]

i just remember i think she gives +avi fleet tech

[muted wind]

she doesn't, she gives AA

[silk sphinx]

not even, huh. why did i farm her then

[muted wind]

-# because hot?

[silk sphinx]

ok never mind I think at that point I was done with all the useful tech

[muted wind]

prob, main fleet tech is.... not that hard to max out on

[crystal ore]

I can used her for 2nd fleet right?

[silk sphinx]

the only thing I have left are some collab ships and child ships

[silk sphinx]

she's fine as a ship, just as always since she is an SR, she'll take golden bulins

[muted wind]

what other options do you have?

[silk sphinx]

she's not that great, so you need to judge whether you really want to sink those bulins into her, which is probably not optimal if you have other choices (and event then)

[crystal ore]

@muted wind

[viscid swift]

That's fine honestley plus Nelson or Maryland.

[solar sapphire]

Hello again

Sorry to bother, but usually, this kind of events, how much do they take to come back?

I couldn't really get Unryuu

[ivory pawn]

2 years to rerun roughly.

[pine wren]

is there any working redeem codes? for EN

[soft raft]

No
They dont really do redeem codes in general at all outside of Blu Ray exclusive skins

[solar sapphire]

[stable badger]

this gun has fallen that badly?

[forest palm]

it's from 2018...

[viscid swift]

It's worse than the Algerie Gun.

[stable badger]

this.

and even eugen gun... even though that's AP

[viscid swift]

Which is its predecessor in the Gear Lab and we don't expect people to do PR1 research focus. As such we don't expect most people to have it and that is why it is not in the guide.

[forest palm]

the problem is that it's stuck in PR1, and making it in GL is a waste of resources

[stable badger]

oh. that makes a bit more sense. just realized the purple IJN gun is in 5th best slot for light too... though, it's in Lab Gear now. cost like 5k coins to make from scratch... maybe more if you need to open some blue iris boxes

[viscid swift]

Pardon?

[timid beacon]

Is it good for me to level these up? I have a lot and I’ve looked up the range and Its like one tier below the max aa range

[viscid swift]

If you need more AA guns sure.

[timid beacon]

Alright thanks

[forest palm]

that's just a waste of mats...

AA Range isn't meaningful if the gun doesn't have good Fire Rate, or Raw Damage...

[stable badger]

meant the one i was originally asking about

[whole crypt]

waste of materials

[whole crypt]

if you want more AA guns the first thing you do is open USS boxes for bofors or HMS boxes for roombas

[viscid swift]

The stock Gold Twin 105mm isn't terrible.

[forest palm]

even still it ain't worth upgrading in Gear Lab...

[viscid swift]

I'd put it about on par with the Gold Bofors.

[whole crypt]

except it's not good enough for anything that needs AA

and if you're talking about the lab upgrade that's just a waste of electronics

[viscid swift]

Who said anything about upgrading them in the Gear Lab.

[whole crypt]

because guy was asking about upgrading the 105 with the lab thing to the right?

[viscid swift]

If needed they can be pressed through W12 and W13 just fine.

[whole crypt]

the gun itself is already +10

[viscid swift]

Well I didn't see that.

To upgrade it to the Kai would not be a high priority but it's not a terrible option per se.

[whole crypt]

it is a terrible option to waste electronics on

if you're going to spend electronics crafting an AA gun craft a better AA gun

[fast skiff]

In world 16, what does the gear loadout look like for the dragon empry ships in the support fleet?

[whole crypt]

2 G3R1s

[fast skiff]

I see, obv best AA gun on hand, what about aux?

[whole crypt]

the AA gun doesn't do anything on support fleet
aux is just two catapults to max AVI

[viscid swift]

AA guns are irrelevant for the support fleet.

[whole crypt]

support fleet only checks for fighters, plane count, slot eff, AVI and reload

[fast skiff]

Gotcha, good to know. Glad I don’t need to stress about that lol. Thanks y’all!

Er one more question, do I need to stress about +13 on catapults for support or not really? I’m a brokie rn lol

[boreal wagon]

-# and hit and luck but they basically dont matter

[viscid swift]

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

[agile temple]

as a new player should i be three starring every mission right away or should i try to push as far in the campaign as possible then come back?

[sweet delta]

Basically AA guns aren't high priority to gear lab, but if you did manage to get to chapter 13 without enough good AA guns, then 105 Kai is a solid craft

[sweet delta]

You need to three star a whole chapter to unlock its hard mode. You should do that ASAP for at least chapter 3, but preferably the highest chapter you can do it for

[timid beacon]

I don’t even know how I got like 5 of them

Gear box or something but I never crafted them

[agile temple]

yeah i have got hardmode two days ago on chapter 3 and have been doing 3-4 to try and retrofit my unicorn

[stable badger]

welp. might as well ask.got enough plates for 2. which ones should i make? xD

[viscid swift]

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

[silk thistle]

Bug?

[onyx flame]

well the event technically over so i can see why it might be

[stable badger]

if i go after that, i'll probably make 2 plymouth guns, cuz they best at anything and everything in slot. that's why i'm asking what would be worth.

[silk thistle]

Tenrai

[stable badger]

i can cut drake gun and georgia gun, cuz have a few of them

[stable badger]

bottom gun worth? has AA stat too, but trades from 6x6 dmg, to 5x6 dmg

[soft raft]

what the hell that's how they added Harbin gun?
I mean yeah I guess it makes sense but damn lol

Overall those two guns are basically identical so completely up to you

[viscid swift]

What.

Have you not taken a look at the "new player ratings" at all?

[stable badger]

ehh... i mean, not "new" player. more like lazy about moving gear, so hoarding as many guns as possible, player

[viscid swift]

I would recommend approaching things a tad more rationally.

For instance, how many ships do you truly use on a regular basis.

Keep those ships geared up and then set aside an additional set for leveling ships up.

And anyway, we have a Gear Lab update in 3-4 months time, no telling what they'll add do hoarding resources is always a safe bet.

Especially Ordinance Reports.

[sweet delta]

I use these ships on a regular basis for storing gear

Do you think 460 will be added in June?

[stable badger]

honestly, hoping for a new CL ur gun

[sweet delta]

I'd say 100 of each material is a large enough reserve to keep for any new gold gear

It's the new rainbows like eagle AA that are unpredictable

[stable badger]

dumb question: does Speed matter on Main(BB,CV) ships?

[viscid swift]

No.

[sweet delta]

Only if the ship skill says so, like Constellation and someone else

[little plinth]

is there an up to date resource on how to read the story in order?

[viscid swift]

The in game timeline?

[onyx flame]

in memories there an ingame timeline

[little plinth]

oh nice I forgot when they added it lol

I used to use some random picture from somewhere

[undone plover]

What is a safe 16-4 consistent fleet to farm fuji

[sweet delta]

I think there's nothing safer than Musashi cowpens for the mob

[undone plover]

this works right?
On auto clearing mode?

[sweet delta]

That is for you to test
There are purposeful suboptimal examples like tohka

[undone plover]

purposefully suboptimal for what purpose

[wispy creek]

does using a 2x rewards speed up getting to safe? like does it count as 2x clears for progess or just 2x rewards

[undone plover]

doesnt 2x lethal level iirc

[boreal wagon]

it counts as 1 clear for any and all counters

[sweet delta]

To show that 16 is so easy with only 4 mob battles

[undone plover]

oh i see

is that sth i can do to make clears faster btw?

i need both at 1701+ AVI?

[sweet delta]

With clearing mode, that is not a requirement. But before 100% , you should do that 1701

[undone plover]

the fleet i just posted has it for boss right?
do i also need it for mob?

[wispy creek]

yeah clearing mode is always 4 mob fights, i think

[sweet delta]

You can check it for yourself

According to the picture in the chapter 16 mechanics page

[sweet delta]

The title of the example fleet picture says it can reach 1701 for both fleets

You may need CV cats or tech to get that on the 2 CVL mob

[undone plover]

thanks sushi it is clear now

[viscid swift]

But 1701 doesn't exist yet.

[cobalt gate]

i got 5 la9 and 3 merk gun what research should i do now?

[timid beacon]

Wow that’s a lot

[undone plover]

btw what is the idea behind that full uss backline vs heavy boss musashi?

[undone plover]

plymouth guns are always nice to have

or go for more meck guns/1 more La9

[cobalt gate]

i guess plymouth gun are nice. is there any team that uses 6 la 9? @undone plover

[undone plover]

at this moment i think no

i guess technically u can do sth like ykii fritz lexii that can use that but idk how good that fleet is

[timid beacon]

If you don’t mind me asking how long did it take you to get that many

Idk it just seems impressive to me how people have a lot of Rainbow planes or gear

[undone plover]

about 6 months is enough to get 3 of each UR gear
2 months per UR
on full gear focus

[viscid swift]

One Rainbow Gear from research, with Gear Focus takes 2-3 months.

[undone plover]

3 would be really slow tbf

60 days to 70 days average on gear focus

[timid beacon]

What abt opsi shouldn’t that count in

Since it’s a source of rainbow report things

[viscid swift]

Gear from research isn't added to the lab until 2+ years after it's released.

[undone plover]

old research gear goes into gear lab
so u can get them later that way
but it is too slow tbh
mainly helpful for new players

[cobalt gate]

i mean for merk it took around from start of research till jan, then i've just been doing la9 again and finished 1

@timid beacon

[timid beacon]

You are so good

[proper violet]

Who to mlb? Or should I wait?

[wind hazel]

how many spcore do you have now?

[sweet delta]

Who do you have maxed?

[gritty spear]

I suppose I’ll have to wait a bit longer?

[tulip tinsel]

yez

[waxen hamlet]

Is there a way to see the date you acquired a PR/DR ship?

[soft raft]

Besides taking a screenshot and/or posting when you acquire one, no not really

Best you can really do in game is sort by acquisition order and the approximate from there going off of event ships that you obtained

[steep basin]

Are there any active gift codes rn? Especially for beginners?

[ivory pawn]

Gift codes are very rare, or in simpler terms: no.

[steep basin]

Alright, is there a popular azur lane youtuer you'd recommend watching for tips?

[viscid swift]

Most Azur Lane YouTubers are shit, and there' are certainly none that are making good content for beginners.

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

[sage bone]

I was wondering, does anyone know my exercise fleet has less power rating than my regular fleet 1 when they're all the same ships and equipment?

[sweet delta]

There's no fleet tech in pvp, idk if that's reflected on the numbers

[sage bone]

no fleet tech or meowficers right? I didn't know about the fleet tech tho so thnx for that

[sweet delta]

I don't think cats add fleet power anyways

[sage bone]

I don't think so either

[cinder sky]

are this mails from akashi regular or some event? been getting them lately but i dont remember getting any before

[ivory pawn]

If you tap her enough or buy some gems Akashi will send you some rewards as a bribe to buy more gems.
There is a point where you will no longer get them.

[cinder sky]

You mean no more even if I buy more gems or each time I buy some she will send some stuff? Also is the amount of gems bought relevant? I mean if I buy more she will be sending stuff longer?

[ivory pawn]

[brave musk]

Best unicorn build???

[viscid swift]

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

[slow charm]

What’s the best things to exchange for in the gift shop? Assume I haven’t bought anything.
Im leaning towards the blueprints as of rn

[viscid swift]

Gift shop?

[sweet delta]

What is the gift shop

[knotty jolt]

Im gonna go under the assumption they're referring to the event shop since they mentioned prints

[slow charm]

The event shop lol

Please 🙏

[ivory pawn]

Cogs, event gear, then prints imo.

[brave musk]

Some coins method????

[slow charm]

What does the event gear do?

[ivory pawn]

Give HP, EVA, SPD, whatever. Other than one of them being a second HP aux for a DD, or the HIT/EVA being a budget/PvP aux for BBs, they're nothing special. But better to have than have not.

[slow charm]

Thanks. I got all the gear, the cognitive arrays, all the PR blueprints, DR blueprints until I ran out of funds and then spent the rest on part pieces.
Hope that works.
I sincerely appreciate your help

In retrofit, which ship’s additional skill is more important to acquire: Saratoga or Independence?
I have both fully retrofitted and augmented aside from their skill and only enough resources to get one skill

[formal mulch]

is there a setting to turn this screen off unless it's a new unit?

[ivory pawn]

Yes there is.

Well, except for new units, or 4*s or higher.

[formal mulch]

Is it the duplicate ship display setting? not sure how I missed it if that's it

[ivory pawn]

Yep. You can tap most of the option names to get more info if needed.

[formal mulch]

Ah good to know, thanks

[last ocean]

hitting a wall at 10-1 at this point. Working on levelling/retroing Helena to replace Ingraham, but clearing boss with -50% debuff is proving harder than thought

really feels like 1 fleet at this point is quite limiting, but should be able to til 12 I heard

[soft raft]

this sounds like a very big gear issue because you should not be struggling with those levels

who specifically is dying? I feel like it's that lvl 94 Hood who likely doesnt have a fire extingusher

[last ocean]

I put Hood in off once she gets lower, but that's only part of it

[soft raft]

You're actively gutting her damage effectively in half when you do that
And honestly by that point you've definetly fucked up

Go farm W9 for a bit until her lvls are high enough so you don't have to do that

[soft raft]

Yikes that BB gun

Give this a read asap, servere gear issue indeed
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

[last ocean]

assuming I have the acceptable gear

[viscid swift]

You don't automatically with your free +6 Mk6 and Helldiver absent.

[soft raft]

With proper gear and Hood having more levels that shouldnt have any issue at all. Lvl 110 is roughly the same as W12 enemies for reference
Giving Hood a fire extingusher will also help reduce burn damage, especially in W10 and W11

[viscid swift]

I'll also hazard a guess that you might still be using single line instead of double line for your formation.

Her aux gun is also pretty shit and intercepting suicide bots, Portland isn't running a Blue Rudder/Naval Cammo.

The list goes on.

Some of these discrepancies are minor, others are relatively significant. None of them are helping you with clearing the 10-1 boss out of ammo.

[sweet delta]

there were new augments

[viscid swift]

Yes....

Elp is truly dead

[last ocean]

I'm assuming the Mk6 free gun is the one I switched off seeing the number gap with the BB gun

[viscid swift]

Yeah, here's a heads up why you can't assess gear just looking at in game data, there's a Hidden Damage coefficient/multplier that is completely hidden in game for guns.

[soft raft]

+20 FP stat means nothing if the rest of its stats suck ass

Especially when BBs already have crap tons of FP stat

[last ocean]

hidden stats? Because all the barrage numbers seem higher with the other gun even discounting the 45 FP

[sweet delta]

Their hidden stats are the same
You must have seen the visible stats wrong then

Purple is better

[sweet delta]

you're comparing +6 to +8

[ivory pawn]

+6 vs +8, and there's also ammo modifiers under Ammo Type.

[sweet delta]

At the end of the day, just follow a good gear guide which considers all the visible and hidden stats too

[viscid swift]

And this is before we even factor in the hidden damage coefficient which, spoiler alert, is also in the Mk6s favor.

[sweet delta]

Sir why do you have it +10

[viscid swift]

I just +10ed one for this comparison.

[last ocean]

unclear why they have such hidden numbers, but thank you

I'm assuming the reason for the helldiver is the 2000 bomb?

[sweet delta]

No, it's just the bombs overall

[strong tartan]

what does reno aug do im too lazy to read today
