[midnight salmon]

Oh ok so it’s still worth tyty

[soft raft]

Yuh
The fleet tech bonuses (if they're good) are like 99% of the reason why you'd even consider raising META ships

[midnight salmon]

I only have Helena meta leveled the rest are at 1

[untold sierra]

Is there a calendar?

[soft raft]

The only real """""Calendar""""" we have is new Gacha UR every Feb/May/Sept/Dec, Sept is basically guarenteed to be a Japanese event, and April and November are the most likely times for collab events

CN/JP/EN are also all caught up on content so we cant take a peek over the ocean to see what's coming, and even for the servers that are behind (TW & KR), they're steadily closing the gap

[untold sierra]

I was curious about the estimated reruns.

[tulip tinsel]

2 ish years

[thorny quail]

Do DDGs benefit from Meowfficer buffs to DDs?

[soft raft]

Reruns are estimated to be roughly 2 years or so after the intial run, but the specific date wont be known until it is announced the week prior

It's also not guarenteed that they'll follow the release schedule, and some event formats dont rerun at all and skip to being peramently added, namely raids

[ivory pawn]

Not taking the free layup to post your list smh.

[soft raft]

jokes on you that's outdated

[eternal basalt]

You forgot Tempesta drops in October

[soft raft]

wdym

if you mean the 2nd sidenote, that's purely in regards to their reruns

[eternal basalt]

That they always drop a Tempesta event around Halloween

[soft raft]

oh nvm I saw what you're talking about lol

<@&472236072743600148> Another scam

[eternal basalt]

Jan - Usually CNY (this year not though)
Feb - UR
March - The confusing event
April - Random/Collab Rerun
May - CN anni
June- ???
July - ???
August - EN anni
Sept - JP anni
Oct - Tempesta
Nov - Collab
Dec - UR

[soft raft]

"The confusing event" lmao
Very true tho this year

[eternal basalt]

Last year it was that medic event

[viscid swift]

I mean June and July will either be collab reruns or small events as well.

[timid beacon]

May CN? What’s CN

[soft raft]

CN Anniv

[weary edge]

china

[soft raft]

CN = China

[eternal basalt]

Last year it was https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/The_Neon_City_Investigator and .. The Ryza events

[timid beacon]

Ah alr so what will we get assuming some of you are in EN

[eternal basalt]

Everything (but the anni mail, and a few anni events, which we get in August)

[soft raft]

^

Only players in the region celebrating anniv will get the anniv mail freebies

[timid beacon]

I’m just hoping essexs retrofit item pops op by then

[soft raft]

it will this august

[eternal basalt]

Probably between our and JP's anni's

[timid beacon]

Ohh alright I was just making sure it would be in August

[eternal basalt]

September but yes

[timid beacon]

Really regret not playing the game last year.

[eternal basalt]

We'll likely get another UR retro this year too, CN anni 2 URs and JP anni... who knows

[timid beacon]

I don’t see much or anything about Essex non retrofitted is she still a decent without it?

[tulip tinsel]

bad

[signal path]

If I dont collect this will it go to mail after reset?

[onyx flame]

No, its just gone

[eternal basalt]

+The 10 phases after it

[true chasm]

For trying to get Mecklenburg to dev level 30 as fast as possible, is the only projects worth doing are the Mecklenburg and H ones, without G projects?

[tulip tinsel]

goes to the backrooms

[onyx flame]

Unless your mega rich in cubes h ones arent it

[eternal basalt]

Seems pretty unreleastic to get Meck or H every run though

[true chasm]

Got it thank you

[true chasm]

Ah ok, I have like 700 cubes and 360k coins

[signal path]

What backrooms?

[eternal basalt]

700 cubes is not enough to dabble with H-research

[signal path]

Oh gone I see Thanks

[true chasm]

That sucks then, thank you for the advice.

[onyx flame]

I dont think i have ever seen a 0.5 hour h

[eternal basalt]

As all ULs if it's there and you can afford it, grab it

[onyx flame]

G project are fine to grab since it got a chance tp grab meck prints but the other prints are also aight since once u get enuf to dev 30 they drop out of the D pool

[true chasm]

Also do you guys spend the $10 on the cruise missions pass?

[eternal basalt]

If I like the skin

[true chasm]

Makes sense

[timid beacon]

Yes it’s nice

[humble citrus]

Does it matter if Hakuhou airstrikes 2nd or 3rd in a two IJN main fleet when you’re trying to sync airstrikes?

[sweet delta]

best to be after the other IJN, but don't throw away sync or gear for that order

[humble citrus]

I see, thanks

[vital meadow]

is there a fleet guide for w16

[wind hazel]

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

[quartz breach]

Are there any Eagle Union torpedo bombers that can intercept other planes like the rainbow one can?

[forest palm]

none that are worth using...

there's the French Breguet

[rapid grail]

no
only other tb that can intercept is Breguet, but that one's French. And it's actually better st intercepting

[quartz breach]

Huh, I never built too many of them but is it more damage overall or something wrt to intercepting?

[rapid grail]

Less dmg ofc but they're easier to craft

To the point where gph would stop you from crafting more than 2 wyverns

As for intercept, it's a pretty okay feature at best, unremarkable at worst

[forest palm]

you can just buy Breguet from the Core Data...

[timid beacon]

Truee

[weary edge]

is daisen gun just the best overall gun for musashi

[woven star]

Against Heavy or Med enemies

[timid beacon]

What do I do if I have no oil I don’t exactly want to get oil from my mail unless it’s fine to I have 60k oil in it

So idk if it’s right to save it for an event or something

[viscid swift]

You could grind Operation Siren.

[timid beacon]

Problem is I have no ap points and I cleared every zone, every stronghold I gotta wait for the new one and no hidden no abyssal left for me to do really

[viscid swift]

Have you heard of our lord and savior C1 farming.

[timid beacon]

I guess

[timid beacon]

Ohh that’s neat I see I’ll do that then definitely

[elfin hollow]

Uh... Question: what's the maximum amount of experience a character at level 125 can earn?

[viscid swift]

You mean store? 3 million.

[elfin hollow]

Ah, yeah, I seemed to remember the term was "store", though it kinda sounds like you could just take it and put it somewhere else afterwards...
Thanks, by the way
Oh, and is it the same limit regardless of rarity?

[viscid swift]

Yes.

[elfin hollow]

Thanks

[sweet delta]

~~4.09 million ~~

[viscid swift]

~~Ok boomer. ~~

[elfin hollow]

kinda didn't get the joke but okay anyways

[sweet delta]

it is no longer possible to make a ship exceed 3 million, but boomers can keep their old ones

[spark patio]

is warspite ret better than any SR bbs?

[sweet delta]

she is better than all SR BBs at bossing

[spark patio]

alr

[elfin hollow]

Wow

[elfin hollow]

When was that achieved?

[sweet delta]

when the level cap was raised to 125 maybe

[elfin hollow]

I was there as well... Just, never really maxed out on the experience of anyone... As of yet, highest stock is at around 1.7m

[slender turtle]

Holy is it just me or is this meta fight crashing on mobile more than others

[forest palm]

wouldn't be the first

[slender turtle]

It is just crazy cause it is crashing on the same part of the fight every time lol

[forest palm]

this game is run on hopes and dreams

[cloud tangle]

Gents for curiosity sake, this is still the recommended guide? https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide

[hollow gust]

it works well

[pine wren]

who's a good front vanguard I can use and is kinda easy to get all the good ones are either limited or locked behind shipyard

[hollow gust]

portland

[rotund narwhal]

what are good xp grinder ships for eagle union main

[hollow gust]

any eagle ship, there is no "good" ship, any ship that can beat 12-4 and needs leveling is sufficient

[rotund narwhal]

okay thanks

[polar venture]

Do we know when next UR event is?

[onyx flame]

It should be during cn anni

[opaque monolith]

i dont really care for meta but i was wondering what an okay f2p team for uvh (im a newer player)
would something like this be doable?

[sweet delta]

Switch out everyone except uvh and maybe Saratoga

[pine wren]

How'd I cleared it but not defeat flagship?

[inner delta]

idr if the boss counted toward "all enemy" but i think it does and you probably just desync

[serene oracle]

Are six colored torpedo bombers enough ？？？

[onyx flame]

[cloud tangle]

Will swap meta when i can/am i good to go investing on these? Was just playing the game blind before

[muted wind]

do you have eldridge's retrofit item? if not, i'd pick another tank. vanguard and new jersey also aren't really recommended anymore, but they're already at 2lb so you may as well max them out eventually

we'd need to see the rest of your dock for any further recommendations

[cloud tangle]

Do have the item

[muted wind]

use eldridge as the mob fleet tank when you have her retrofitted. roon µ should be bulky enough to boss tank for a while, or you could retrofit portland for that and kick out foch meta instead. zuihou is a nice secondary mob healer for later chapters. if you want another (mob) CV, you can grab independence from the core shop.

-# *eldridge as the main tank can be a bit of an rng fest, so having her as the off-tank with a different main tank would be more consistent

[cloud tangle]

For the future would it be something like (the pr Italian ship i forgot the name)/roon for tanks? And i assume im good to go on main dps

And on another note, is there a recommended pr ship i should go for? I understand it will take a while

[muted wind]

napoli? if you want to use her and are already going for pr7, definitely an option. she just doesn't do much other than tank. gouden leeuw from pr8 would be a more flexible option.
other than more coverage for endgame, which is mostly URs, you're probably good on main dps.

[onyx flame]

main looking a lil cooked ngl 2lb vanguard, nj and spoot

[muted wind]

current rec is just go for pr8, mecklenburg is good, flexibly main fleet dps ship and gouden leeuw as just mentioned is a good tank with AA. alternatively pr7. but i'd say pick what you prefer, the game isn't that strict in most content.

[cloud tangle]

Have catchup up to pr7, so was gonna go for those first

[muted wind]

bit too late to fix that honestly. maybe replacing vanguard with independence? though i'd just max nj at this stage

[cloud tangle]

Spoot?

[muted wind]

warspite

[cloud tangle]

A

(I like nj and got vanguard to that with dupes so all g ig)

[muted wind]

-# probably no reason to bother retrofitting her. make her augment if you can and haven't already.

oh yeah if that's dupes, all good

[onyx flame]

it prob be better to make hood aug and then yeet spoot for indep

and at the same time moving vanguard to the 2nd fleet while indep goes into mob fleet

[muted wind]

oh yeah that would probably be better

[cloud tangle]

So vanguard to boss, indep on mob?

I assume it's this

[muted wind]

i'd swap eldridge with roon µ or portland also, and foch meta with... hm. the other of the two? or eugen for now since she's already leveled?

[cloud tangle]

Aight, will be back in some time with progress

Tyvm

[opaque monolith]

ok but like what would a team look like? itd be my second team

[onyx flame]

we cant reco you what to use if you dont show what you got

[pine wren]

im also building a team centering her rn, i have unicorn uvh saratoga as main fleet then a tank, helena and san francisco as the vanguard

[opaque monolith]

[nocturne magnet]

should be fine if i MLB the ships in collection first right and just retire other ships that is not? my dock is kinda filling up and i wanna invest in dorm and tactical class first.

[robust onyx]

Are you f2p?
If so don't bother with tactical class. Or dorm space beyond the 3rd + 2nd floor

[stable badger]

are these ones good for Gear Designs too? or should i go with a Q-351?

[muted wind]

why are you on pr4 for gear?

[onyx flame]

[nocturne magnet]

i see

[stable badger]

cuz i got nothing better to get than a Tensai. i'm at 46/50

[ivory pawn]

For future reference, it is good for gear too.

[stable badger]

didn't que it in yet. that's why i'm asking

[muted wind]

... actually, you know what, fair enough. yeah i think the D-UL tasks are pretty good for gear parts too, but you may as well save the cubes

[robust onyx]

It's recommended to use free gems on 3rd dorm slot and 2nd dorm floor and the rest on dock space. Unless it has changed since I last checked

[opaque monolith]

anyone?

[nocturne magnet]

its a bit late i already have 4 slot in dorm but atleast i havent spend more for dorm

[muted wind]

honestly, more dorm slots are convenient, so not the worst thing to buy

[stable badger]

so. the issue i see HERE, is that. you have lv1 ships with lv100. uhhhh, the lv1s will die in sorties, unless it's like ch2 or ch3. you gotta level them up. sure, OG Bismark got power creeped to oblivion. but you don't really have better/modern options. saw sovetskaya belo, in there. but that's also lv1 soo..⚖️

Pennsy is very good for reaching chapter 9. yours is already lv80, so use her. just cuz she Blue, doesn't mean she weak for you atm.

[onyx flame]

what are you hull option in medal shop?

[stable badger]

pretty sure this is what we all have available.

[pine wren]

Isn't medal shop different for each acc

[onyx flame]

medal shop differs from server to server, their on the little e server so they have CV and dd for april

[opaque monolith]

im aware

im just trying to get a mob and boss fleet for now

[stable badger]

what type of ships are different. like BBs + CAs. on a server. others with have CV +DD, and so on

[opaque monolith]

i already have one fleet

[onyx flame]

gimme a bit, watch al stream i try making 2 fleets

[opaque monolith]

[random rain]

Hello, what planes do you use for support fleets in W15? Thanks.

[onyx flame]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15/#general-fleet-structure

[random rain]

ah so any plane, so long as it fulfills that avi stat requirement?

[stable badger]

if i were to exclude levels this would be a mob fleet

[whole crypt]

more or less but mob fleet for what

[stable badger]

no scratch that. Pennsy instead of Nelson. nelson goes into boss fleet.

[stable badger]

he new-ish and wants to make a 2nd fleet

[whole crypt]

where

[onyx flame]

this guy, medal shop got cv and dd

[pine wren]

I thought it was per acc since everyone I saw has different lol

[onyx flame]

its per server

[whole crypt]

medal pool is per server

[onyx flame]

anyway this is all i got for now but idk
Mob
Nelson Unicorn Sara
Port Laffey ?
Boss
UVH Enterprise (medal) indep (from core data, needs retro)
Sanfran Kazagumo (medal) helena

[stable badger]

well. older servers might have access to more ships than newer servers? since reruns haven't been added. donno how that works. 1 server account is plenty for me~

[onyx flame]

when we say server we dont mean jp/en/cn we mean lexington/washington those servers

[pine wren]

yea, im from sandy

idk why I assumed it was per acc

[opaque monolith]

and whats doable with what i currently have? doesnt have to bw lvld

[stable badger]

you can also use Cleveland. she decent. like i already said. put pennsylvania in mob instead.

[onyx flame]

thats dubious ngl
also how many sr bulins do you got

[opaque monolith]

i have more sr than the others

like 10? 11?

[stable badger]

hmm... would Juneau be worth leveling for Lia? not a point where her heal won't save a boss fight

[wind hazel]

jun good ship

[ivory pawn]

Good enough budget AA carry for ch 12. Pretty sure I used her in 13 too.

[onyx flame]

anyway this is all i got from my thinking
someone try improve it
Ship list #gameplay-help message
Mob
Nelson Unicorn Sara
Port Laffey juneau
Boss
UVH Enterprise (medal) indep (from core data, needs retro)
Sanfran Kazagumo (medal) helena

[stable badger]

so CV heavy

[opaque monolith]

[onyx flame]

thats like normal for campaign

[opaque monolith]

thanks i appreciate the suggestions

i just wanna chill for now before getting really into the game

[turbid marsh]

grind low maps + chill for a bit to grab resources, then wait for next UR XD

[stable badger]

or. you can go
Mob: pennsy, unicorn, sara.
Phoenix, laffey, Juneau.
Boss: Nelson, uvh, yorktown 2
portland, helena, cleveland
no need to go into lots of bullins either. this will easily carry you by chapter 12

[opaque monolith]

im currently on 9-4 havent tried further

[opaque monolith]

[onyx flame]

their yk2 is like lb0 thats asking for trouble

[opaque monolith]

i just like uvh

[stable badger]

phoenix is good, phoenix is love, phoenix is life. phoenix is Immortal zombie, you don't even need Univorn heals 🐦‍🔥

[opaque monolith]

i just wanna include her in any fleet of those two

[stable badger]

it's fiiine at this point. york loses like 5 extra planes from not being max lb. skills will carry harder than extra planes. worst case, can switch it for lusty, long island, impero

[onyx flame]

[ivory pawn]

You are really underestimating those extra planes and stats.

[stable badger]

probably. hey Lia has Ranger lv1. you retro that, she can clean house

[tulip tinsel]

0lb yorktown won't do shit

[stable badger]

at ch9?

[opaque monolith]

10 tbf

[wind hazel]

too many SR ship, bench kazagumo for now, raise sanfran enterprise. use hammann2 instead

[undone plover]

why use her when other options exist

[tulip tinsel]

dead weight

[stable badger]

there a point in san fran when portland is already over lv100? they might get a proper CB by then

[wind hazel]

there are 2 fleet

he isn't getting anchorage or agir anytime soon

[onyx flame]

so for clarity

Mob
Nelson Unicorn Sara
Port Laffey juneau
Boss
UVH Enterprise (medal) indep (from core data, needs retro)
Sanfran helena hamm2

grab Kazagumo from medal but raise her later

[wind hazel]

if you cant retro indep then stick to long island until you can retro her

[opaque monolith]

[wind hazel]

but it's gona clash with saratoga

if you gonna retro 1 of them, choose indep. but it's also unlikely you have enough core data for indep when you should be saving and buying 2 UR table

so in the end it depends on how many resources you have

[stable badger]

what resources? coins? you don't mean these, right?

[wind hazel]

core data

[forest palm]

core data on the left, prototype cores and special cores on the right

Indep uses Core Data and the Bulin + Mic use Special Cores

[stable badger]

still... is independence that good anymore? like, there's mewficers in core data, shells for BBs.

[wind hazel]

she's one of the best ship in the game

[stable badger]

"it's also unlikely you have enough core data for indep when you should be saving and buying 2 UR table" what's the connection between the the two?

[wind hazel]

... you need core data to buy UR table. what else?

[forest palm]

AFCT is in the Limited shop, and also costs Core Data

Admiralty Fire Control Table

[opaque monolith]

this would be the mob fleet?

[nocturne magnet]

i am planning to save for that, is it good if i dont own one?

[wind hazel]

yes but jun would be in the middle, due to level

[forest palm]

AFCT is one of the best Auxiliary for BBs, so it's definitely worth grabbing

[forest palm]

However you can get by with HSFCR, which is just a gold ver of the AFCT

[nocturne magnet]

same stats or no?

[wind hazel]

worse

[nocturne magnet]

yep then i would save for that ur

[wind hazel]

it's something that you will get and will need as well

[forest palm]

it's 10 less FP, and 20 less Hit....

less so if you don't +13 either

[wind hazel]

and 2 spread

[eternal basalt]

• worse skill

[wind hazel]

the skill is the same

hassat how do you get things wrong constantly. it's honestly amazing

[nocturne magnet]

reading about the skill i really think its good for

[forest palm]

it's literally the same skill but AFCT has 2 spread slapped on the end

[stable badger]

so he technically correct?

cuz it's part of the skill?

[eternal basalt]

Spread is part of skill???

[forest palm]

not really no, you won't notice that 2 spread

[wind hazel]

i mean

[stable badger]

oh you notice it the worst way. when the shot so accurate, boss moves and you miss

[eternal basalt]

Sorry, I type faster next time

[wind hazel]

ok

[forest palm]

that's what Hit is for...Spread reduction is just reducing the gap of your shots, and you recommended Warspite who really doesn't need 2 spread...

[wind hazel]

tighter spread is good, end of story

[stable badger]

i have not wrote "warspite" here in at least 2 years though

[muted wind]

-# i think he just believes that higher spread = better geometric accuracy against moving targets, which is goofy

[forest palm]

it is, but 2 won't be that noticable to the average player

[stable badger]

yes

[muted wind]

... because the chance it goes the wrong direction isn't like 50%?

[wind hazel]

hood barrage is god tier then

[forest palm]

I mean that was true 6 years ago

[stable badger]

also, did this. you scared the jebus outta me with that Warspite remark. cuz HSFCR is on warspite

"we sharing screens" me thought

[forest palm]

users with gray scale pfp are blurring together, I am oldge

[stable badger]

hmm... to be fair, maybe it's time to get a colour of me own.. any recommandations? and how to do it?

[forest palm]

[eternal basalt]

Green

[timid beacon]

If new shows it means I never had the ship therefor I’ll get the tech points once I get any "new" ships I’m asking since I feel like I got them before then probably retired so I’m not sure

[forest palm]

yes, you'll get tech for any of the "new" ships

[eternal basalt]

(though no techpoints for muse and kids... think a few. Are in there?)

[wind hazel]

ye

[crystal ore]

is she good?

[wind hazel]

she's decent

[wary hawk]

5 months ago in island thread, busted pal

[forest palm]

[stable badger]

tbf, when i wrote "2 years", something in the back of mind was whispering, "are you sure?" thanks for making me start doubting myself all over again

[wary hawk]

:)

[viscid swift]

@soft raft Just as a heads up.

[forest palm]

so they're finally addressing the ridiculous rerun schedule

[stable badger]

i just want Bois Beleau rerun

[tulip tinsel]

august 2027

[signal path]

Will the new Event be worth using Cubes? Or those are skins only Im seeing rn?

[tiny apex]

are the new ships they are posting the ones that are coming in may with ur ?

[viscid swift]

Unfortunately at this point in time it is impossible to give any firm opinion as to the performance of the news ships, the time isn't right the circumstances unfavorable.

[muted wind]

they're coming this week and are collab-exclusive. if you want them, this may be your only opportunity to get them

[viscid swift]

No, they're for the upcoming Dead or Alive Collaboration event.

[muted wind]

... now, that aside, we'll only know whether they are good on friday

[viscid swift]

Can't wait to see people melt down over the one week rerun running alongside the new event.

[tiny apex]

oki it looks like something to suck money/cubes just before big event or is it me ?

or al doesnt do that ?

[viscid swift]

Well there's only so many slots they have to do a collab event.

It's either March, April, June, July, or November.

[stable badger]

it probably does for new players. old fossils like me though... HEH. good luck emptying me cubes and coin stock

[muted wind]

i mean, if this wasn't a collab, they might've run a different new event, so
but i guess if you want them, this will suck your cubes before the new UR yeah lol

[tiny apex]

its actually so tempeting cus i love the designs

[onyx flame]

then just get em at least you know the ur will def rerun who knows about collab

[muted wind]

you can get the URs when they rerun, we're not sure these will rerun. decide based on that

[whole crypt]

any suggestions on what to spend my XP packs on so I can claim the stream handouts

[stable badger]

still salty about never getting Shirakami Fubuki virtual tuber. she was the only DD with plane slot for soooo long

[cloud tangle]

For gear prog, usually just make do with what u have till u've mats from siren or im also good to go through a ex for specific things?

[onyx flame]

exp stuff to 125?

[whole crypt]

I could do that but who

[strange flame]

is the new ur coming at the end of this month?

[whole crypt]

no we're getting DOA this week until end of month

[onyx flame]

ur is more like end of may

[strange flame]

thats fine, gives time to save up cubes

i only have 475 -_-

[onyx flame]

i only got 540 something and i wanna pick up all the collab chars

[stable badger]

pffff... who gives you more stuff in fleet tech?

[whole crypt]

no one

[onyx flame]

i would say do your fav but you prob alr done that so ig whoever looks nice/got nice va or you wanna try funny stuff with ig

[whole crypt]

[onyx flame]

yea kinda
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/#check-your-gear

[whole crypt]

guess I can cog+ the unryuu & co...

[onyx flame]

could also be like that jp guy with like 1000? lvl 120 married ayanami

[little plinth]

collab is next thursday (10 days)?

[whole crypt]

no thanks

[whole crypt]

no it's this Thursday

[little plinth]

oh it's the rerun banners that are next thursday?

cause the images in the reddit megathread show 4/23-5/1

[eternal basalt]

New event 2 weeks, rerun 1 week

[viscid swift]

Wait for the new ships to drop?

[sweet delta]

How many gold bulins to max new ships?

[robust onyx]

18

[viscid swift]

20, assuming you get all the copies of the shop ship.

[eternal basalt]

There is also 4 copies of point ship

[viscid swift]

Yeah, but you'd need to keep one so 17.

[eternal basalt]

And an unknown amount in dragon mini-event

[viscid swift]

Yeah, probably the same amount as Kurumi.

[warm phoenix]

is there a list of all the support barrages like Musashi's?

[sick kettle]

/crossfleet

[odd root]

https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/images/equip_misc/Cross-fleet_Effects.jpeg

[warm phoenix]

thanks

[stable badger]

sooo many... which ones are the strongest though? like Vanguard is in Barrage + support. but support is only for HMS ships. if no HMS, it's better to get someone else, right?

[onyx flame]

its listed below in the image

only thing missing is moskva taking over unzen/guam place

[stable badger]

Kronshtadt STILL the Undisputed Cross fleet main

[viscid swift]

This is not up to date.

[whole crypt]

only for BBs

and honestly the effect isn't that big

nowadays WDP and Moskva have fairly decent xf barrages

[strange flame]

so is the next UR gonna be some unknown and Alsace?

and should i just save my UR bulins for the next ships? i have 5 atm with the 6th from the battlepass coming

[onyx flame]

next ur is a new one during late may, alsace rerun is after

[little plinth]

is ch16 air support still bugged?

[tulip tinsel]

yez

[storm marlin]

For August von Parseval's last memory mission, how do you "limit break" her

[viscid swift]

Get her to Dev 30.

[timid beacon]

Is Plymouth usable by dev 30? Or needs fsm

[viscid swift]

She doesn't have a Fate Sim.

[timid beacon]

Oh mb alright thanks

[forest palm]

can use Plymouth as early as 25

[timid beacon]

That’s nice to know, I’m like 13 tech points away from actually getting her so it will still be a while before I can even get to use her

[onyx flame]

well 2 months ish or less once you get her

[timid beacon]

Starting with no bps or with?

I’ll have around 250 ish by the time I can actually give them to her

[onyx flame]

with none

[timid beacon]

Ohh alright sounds good so probably less then a month but yes still probably 2 idk

[onyx flame]

well with 250 bps it prob be closer to 27 days

just hoping your 250 came from catchup and blanks not research

[timid beacon]

Yes of course catch up

[vital cloak]

can i marry more than 1 character in azur lane?

[tulip tinsel]

ye

there are ppl out there with every ship oathed i think

[clear harbor]

Polyarmory.

[onyx flame]

fat wallet to have that many rings

[jovial lintel]

Aint that like 500k gems? 😭

[tulip tinsel]

🐳

[vital cloak]

i see, im going to still be oath to my akagi (i hope i can keep like this for a long time)

[silk sphinx]

It’s technically not even that expensive compared to other games where you buy pulls

There’s roughly 700+ ships in game, each ring is roughly 10 USD maybe if you’re buying the ring outright

Though you can cut the price to 5 or 6$ ish with double gem packs and double ring packs

[woven star]

210k with discount. ~315k without

[iron berry]

Which is better to get from gear lab Drake gun or Plymouth gun? (CA vs CL one)

[tulip tinsel]

Ply

[vivid bay]

what does CM stands for on the tier list?

[wind hazel]

challenge mode

[vivid bay]

ahhh thanks

[sweet delta]

[forest palm]

"Augur"

really though it feels like it's over explaining

[wind hazel]

ngl but definition of hard arbiter being "1 or 2 fleet of hard arbiter" isn';t explaining anything

[forest palm]

all 3 of the definitions aren't really much of a "definition" they're just confusing and contrived to a degree

[novel solstice]

You can go into the hard arbiter with four fleets.
If you are really awesome, you don't need all four of them, you can kill it with one or two of them.

[wind hazel]

somewhat yes

[forest palm]

still trying to connect dots on what the hell, "Augur" is, like Agir? or?

[sweet delta]

In Operation Siren, it is entirely possible to defeat the Hard Arbiter boss using only one or two surface fleets rather than the standard four, which can save significant time on fleet preparation and management. This approach typically requires well-built, high-synergy fleets with strong flagship choices and optimized gear, since fewer fleets mean each one needs to pull considerably more weight during the encounter. Since the Hard Arbiter boss in Operation Siren is relatively straightforward to clear when using all four endgame fleets, an endgame-focused tier list needs to apply a stricter standard by evaluating how well each ship contributes to defeating the boss with only one or two fleets instead. This higher bar ensures that the tier list meaningfully differentiates between ships that are merely adequate at the endgame level and those that truly excel by pulling their weight in a more resource-constrained scenario. By limiting the evaluation to fewer fleets, we can better highlight the ships whose damage output, survivability, or utility are exceptional enough to make a tangible difference when there is far less room for error.

[forest palm]

but that's not a definition that's just telling the player what they can do, a definition just discribes what something is...

[sweet delta]

Should I shove this in the definition

@wind hazel come back

[forest palm]

sounds overblown for what can be described in about about 10 words or less

[wind hazel]

1 or 2 fleet Hard Arbiter, the big boss in the middle of operation siren

@sweet delta

[nocturne magnet]

curretly in c6 cant start c7 yet because of the restriction level 50 commander, is the highest map level the best way to farm commander exp?

[forest palm]

literally a "High difficulty fight in the center of Siren Ops with high value rewards"

[sweet delta]

it seems that I have overcomplicated things. So in your opinion, the problem is just that people don't know Hard Arbiter is the hardest part of Operation Siren?

[forest palm]

only C7s are Arbiter, and Strongholds

[wind hazel]

i mean yeah. people that doesn't know what hard arbiter is probably needs to know what it is, by definition

isn't that the point of a definition? to define something

like just read your current one, and think of how useful the definition is

[sweet delta]

i assumed users of an endgame thing would have some nonbasic idea of what arbiter is

[forest palm]

[wind hazel]

then it's pointless to put the definitions to begin with

[sweet delta]

no, I'm defining the rating for using 2 instead of 4 fleets

[nocturne magnet]

i dont know what arbiter is but i assume that what i said is correct? farm highest map?

[forest palm]

it's the stuff in the center of the map

[wind hazel]

then it's even more poorly explained lol

[sweet delta]

maybe now that ectl is dead, I need to pick the new players up off the streets 🔥
new player definitions and gear templates 📈

[wind hazel]

someone asked what CM was. if your definition was to explain the rating then what even were you answering to

[vale spindle]

i presume new collab ships also have augments right ? i don't see it in the livestream recap images

[forest palm]

I swear Suchi is overcomplicating something a grade schooler could do

[sweet delta]

i see nothing wrong with answering that CM is Clearing Augur difficulty of the Constellation Challenge Mode.

[forest palm]

what the hell is Augur though...

[vale spindle]

as a wiki contributor, you can also update https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Glossary too

[wind hazel]

yes what the hell is augur lol

[forest palm]

these are definitions not guides, right?

[vale spindle]

yes the glossary is for definitions not guides

[sweet delta]

if they don't know then they don't need CM rating, at most i would add (Hard) to that

[vale spindle]

probably a typo of one of the constellations for challenge mode

[viscid swift]

Probably yes.

[forest palm]

no, I mean the stuff suchi wrote out in their syllabus above

[forest palm]

wtf does this mean...

[viscid swift]

I presume the alternative name for hard mode in CM.

[sweet delta]

the game literally writes Augur before Hard

[forest palm]

see this could be simply explained

and the game puts it out in plain text, "easy"

it's just being fancy

[wind hazel]

more like nobody in this game called the hard mode as Augur

"yo did you clear Glimpse of this month's CM?"

said nobody ever

[forest palm]

exactly

[sweet delta]

it shouldn't be that hard to put 2 and 2 together. "Augur difficulty"

[wind hazel]

it shouldn;t be that hard to write hard difficulty either

even sam thought you were writing a typo. just think of it really

[forest palm]

expecting players to read, rather than just defaulting in their mind, "highest difficulty"

[wind hazel]

when a lot of people were confused, maybe it is not the brightest idea to stick to that term

[sweet delta]

i mean i thought really hard about it and it will be changed in the next release

[forest palm]

it also doesn't help that you only need to clear each CM once, and just forget about them

[wind hazel]

no, you thought really Augur about it
ok im out off to work bye

[viscid swift]

Really though lets be sensible about this though.

Hard Arbiter: Beating Arbiter in Hard Mode with just one or two fleets.

META Showdown: Clearing a level 15 META showdown in just one or two battles.

CM: Clearing Constellation (insert-month-here) Challenge Mode on Hard difficulty.

[forest palm]

don't get why the number of battles need to be in there...

[viscid swift]

Because there's quite a bit of difference in clearing Hard Arbiter with 4 fleets rather than 2.

And clearing a level 15 META showdown in 15 rather than 2.

[forest palm]

idk it just doesn't sounds like a definition

[viscid swift]

It's not a definition persay, it's criteria.

[vale spindle]

after doing some wiki searching 'Challenge Mode' linked to the older version that no longer exists anymore, because the new version is called 'Extreme Challenge'

i have added a disclaimer to 'Challenge Mode' clarifying that it does not exist anymore and the new mode is called 'Extreme Challenge'

[sweet delta]

The button is still Challenge Mode

maybe just add some a.k.a or what

[vale spindle]

i would add a redirect except then what do we call the older version

[forest palm]

and yet the syllabus originally posted, listed "definition" rather than criteria

[viscid swift]

Yeah, we should probably change that.

[sweet delta]

I think you should keep the current page as is but
This version of Challenge Mode does not exist in the game anymore. See Extreme Challenge for the updated version.

[vale spindle]

done

[soft raft]

Wait so does this mean the Dutch elves get to completely B-hop the rerun schedule or are we gonna have accelerated rerun schedule

[viscid swift]

I'm presuming the former.

[rapid shard]

<@&460646206851252224> scammer

[sweet delta]

does "streamlined rerun" mean "rerun that is concurrent with a new major event"?

[nocturne magnet]

Who is best to use gold bulin on(except taskent)? I just wanna reduce the number of bulin

[sweet delta]

luckily for you, the event starting on Thursday has 6 new gold ships

and 3 of them don't require gacha

and there's a good chance all 6 will be stronger than duca eugen emden sakawa

[eternal basalt]

What major event? Not with the collab, and I doubt with anni?

[soft raft]

New collab ships
#game-news

Apparently the livestream was today lol

[fluid brook]

Do someone knows if we are getting Musashi-Chan? If so when?

[whole crypt]

so this is basically a new event/rerun split like atelier?

[pine wren]

what would happen if I can't get a S rating in a battle

[whole crypt]

less XP, also if it's a boss node you're no longer guaranteed a ship drop

[whole crypt]

event starts end of month and probably will take a week to get based on previous events of this type

[sweet delta]

the rerun happens during the second week of the new event

[viscid swift]

Yes but the rerun only lasts one week but it's not a light rerun.

[toxic crown]

For Some reason my subtitles for my secretary’s stopped working

[sweet delta]

press one of the small buttons on the UI

[toxic crown]

Thanks

[agile pewter]

Does port land need full retrofit to be decent tank?

She keeps dying first somehow

[sweet delta]

it could be wrong equipment or simplyh because she is tanking in front

[agile pewter]

I put fire extinguisher and toolkit, is it fine?

I don't have the rudder that the guides recommend

[sweet delta]

not really, you should put a blue rudder

[agile pewter]

Is there anything to replace the one on the right I don't have it too

[sweet delta]

you can use two of the one on the left

otherwise plug a toolkit

[agile pewter]

Thank you I'll try that

[brave musk]

Is my Fleet good??? Shimakaze, unzen, marsei. Ulrich, fritz and jersey

[soft raft]

What is this supposed to be for
Also how are we supposed to know how many limit breaks they have

Tbh even without that info I can already safely say that it's scuffed
your vanguard has no real tank and your backline would struggle in plane heavy content

Shimakaze, NJ, and UvH are also some of the worst value URs in the game

[wind hazel]

[brave musk]

Ah

So who i should go for?

[cloud tangle]

between independence/san diego/helena, who should i finish retro first?

[onyx flame]

Indep since she needs retro to even be useable the other 2 dont need it as much

[exotic sorrel]

Is detection gauge a bad thing for my CVs if the bar gets filled? What does it even do?

[sweet delta]

/detection

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Detection Level:
If the gauge hasn't been filled, your carriers gains "hidden buff", which is 10% flat AA resistance reduction to enemies (basically they deal more dmg) and they can't be chosen as a valid target (enemies BB won't attack your CV when hidden).
If the gauge has been filled, there will be an exclamation mark (!) displayed to the side of the gauge, and your carriers lose the "hidden buff". They will regain the buff when the gauge level falls below the red line.
The gauge will be slowly filled if spotted by the enemy (both planes and ships) if they crossed the detection line, when they are burning, and when launching an airstrike.
Credit: -It's Rajaku-#1817 and Newbie#1553

For more information, consult the wiki

[exotic sorrel]

Oh no wonder some of the ships have skills that clear their gauge

[sweet delta]

more correct:

If the gauge hasn't been filled, your carrier is Hidden, meaning she has 10% flat AA resistance pierce against enemies (e.g. she deals 30% more air damage to an enemy with 300 AA), and enemy ships won't target but can still blind-fire or splash her.
If the gauge has been filled, there will be an exclamation mark (!) displayed to the side of the gauge, and your carrier loses the Hidden status. They will regain the buff when the gauge level falls below the red line.
The carrier's gauge will be increased when she launches an airstrike or certain barrages, when she is burning, when she is spotted by enemy ships that crossed the detection line, or when an enemy ship or airplane crashes into your main fleet.
All main fleet ships in Chapter 14 and main fleet DDGs everywhere have this mechanic, but the damage bonus due to AA pierce only works for AVI-based damage. DDGs have +15% damage increase when Hidden instead.

[exotic sorrel]

Okayy thankyou!

[scarlet cosmos]

Are there any fleet changes to do from 16-3 to 16-4?

[eternal basalt]

wqsn't talking about that, was talking about the Dutch rerun

[eternal basalt]

After the collab, so the 30th. Lasts 2 weeks, as usual.

[exotic sorrel]

Double healer isn't very necessary right? I don't think I have another healer besides Unicorn to put on my fleet

[rapid shard]

Sometimes you use double healer in W14+

[onyx flame]

not double main healer but a main and a sub healer

[fickle parcel]

In ch16, does the sub battle at the start mean nothing if you don't kill? And does it count as a loss too?

[onyx flame]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-16-mechanics#16-1-and-16-2

[rain bobcat]

some slight buffs for urself in the actual fights

[fickle parcel]

tyty!

[brave musk]

What team i should build? (Im returnee)

[exotic sorrel]

Oh I'M DOOMED I don't have a sub healer too 💔

[soft raft]

Just showing your URs isnt enough
Tbh you havent even really answered my question earlier either, what is this fleet supposed to be for?

[harsh drum]

Was about to ask if it's even possible to 3 star clear W16-3/4 on lethal, and saw that it wasn't because of skill issue. It's actually pretty much impossible

Thought I could lethal 3 star 16-3/4 just like I did 16-1/2 and W15, but nope. I got slapped in the face hard xD

[muted wind]

it is doable, but it's so hard that it's really not worth trying

[stable badger]

you know what... maybe PICTURES, instead of Definitions would work better? i mean, english is english and some might not speak/write/read it to a high level?

[agile pewter]

What do the coordinate loggers do

[muted wind]

lets you enter hidden zones that can be cleared for rewards

[agile pewter]

Are they difficult for new players

Should I use them?

[muted wind]

depends on the type. the blue ones are relatively easy, the red ones you need to be somewhat prepared for. probably worth trying and seeing what you can clear

[agile pewter]

They're only usable once right?

Maybe I'll clear them closer to reset

[muted wind]

yeah, just once, so not a bad idea to use them later. the extra adaptability you get until then will probably help

[cloud tangle]

Vamp, won't focus on them now but, dds to work on are trafal/eldridge?

[muted wind]

you can probably wait with traf even, i don't think she's super useful for campaign at least

[cloud tangle]

wanted to kinda set on what to prog on till w13, keep dying to suicide ships

[muted wind]

w12/13 don't have suicide ships. if you struggle with that w11, try using a second BB for mob... if you aren't already

actually, who are you using as the flagships and what are their secondary guns?

[vast nest]

Hello, I'm a new player that just cleared stage 8-4 and can't clear stage 9-1 at the moment, should I farm war archives to level my ships ?

[cloud tangle]

hood/nj still at w10, was just trying to plan ahead tbh

[muted wind]

https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/#main-fleet-others-bb-aux-gun
the "great" part about these 2 is that they can't use CL guns as secondaries so you're stuck with guns that aren't as great at catching suicide boats

if you've got none of the guns suggested there, pick something with a high range at least

[agile pewter]

Why are cl guns better at shooting boats

[nova burrow]

More range, more base damage

[cloud tangle]

go for 65 range or 60 is fine?

[muted wind]

yeah, higher per-salvo damage at least.
you're not really getting more than 60 range on a DD gun unless you have the gear lab one or a harbin gun, so yeah, that's good

[agile pewter]

Then are dd guns better at something

[muted wind]

DD guns have better dps, but that part usually doesn't matter for BB secondaries

so if you have the choice between DD and CL guns on a vanguard ship, prefer DD guns

[brave musk]

siren oper

[soft raft]

Mob? Solo stronghold? Boss?

[brave musk]

so wich SSR i should use? (I have Unicorn fully retro)

[brave musk]

boss

[crystal ore]

So we got DOA collab upcoming. Are they worth pulling or for collecting?

[stable badger]

thing with CL guns on BBs being better is because of suicide boats. extra range means they shoot from farther away, Bonus points if the gun has AP ammo, cuz it'll pierce and probably hit 2 suicide boats instead of 1.

[wind hazel]

we know literally nothing about their performance

[cobalt gate]

No idea about new ones previous did have a good sub and good cv. Not ur level but good as gold

[tiny sparrow]

Hey how do i transfer my data i have on another phone to my phone?

[wind hazel]

login with account that you have bound

[tiny sparrow]

Kk ty

[crystal ore]

Ok

[rotund narwhal]

Is shimakaze still good enough for secondary fleet builds

[soft raft]

No

[wind hazel]

if she is mlb yes

she's not worth the investment if you haven't invested in her yet, so look for other ships instead

[agile pewter]

Is it ok to farm opsi coins on easy stages instead of corrosion 5 or 6 ones

[wind hazel]

farm c3 if you can't do c5. but no reason you can't do c5 tbh

[agile pewter]

I'm new player

I have to manual c5 and I want to slack

[wind hazel]

show your fleet

[whole crypt]

does Watarase's barrage have icd

[agile pewter]

I only have this fleet built

[wind hazel]

go farm c3

[last ocean]

is Roon a good direct replacement for Portland/Prinz Eugen?

[wind hazel]

she's better than portland yes

[wary saffron]

Is it worth it if I buy the idol roon

[wind hazel]

no

[wary saffron]

Why

[last ocean]

is that gamma?

[onyx flame]

Shes like worse than normal roon in every way iirc

[pine wren]

is there like any way to change the loading screens, I wanna play the game on public spaces but I don't wanna look like a gooner

[inner delta]

unfortunately no

[onyx flame]

Privacy screen or uh lower brightness ig

[wind hazel]

doesn't give faction tech, isn't a strong ship, uses gold bulin. basically no good reason to buy her other than collection

[last ocean]

just about finished getting Roon to 30 dev

[dim tundra]

are there war archive events with an oil cost limit other than this?

[last ocean]

I think most of them do

[dim tundra]

oh

[last ocean]

Divergent Chessboard does from my attempts to get Scharnhorst/Gneisenau for building up XP for FDG later

[dim tundra]

I kinda have nothing to do in the game other than getting to lvl 60

[last ocean]

feels like IB main fleet ships are a pain to get

[wind hazel]

universe in unison, it's basically same but different but still same as PP

the rest has hard mode stats requirement to farm so you might not be able to do them

[dim tundra]

oh okay, thx

[weary edge]

do collab ships ever get l2d skins

[wind hazel]

only one did

[weary edge]

mustve been a big collab

[royal kraken]

Who do I limit break

[ivory pawn]

Lion.

[royal kraken]

Is she good

I'm trying to level up her skills and stuff

[onyx flame]

Super good

So good infact she got her own tier when it comes to ur tierlist

[royal kraken]

Imma go watch a guide on her first

[onyx flame]

https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/138

[royal kraken]

Idk if I even have a team for her

[jolly coral]

she doesn't need a special team, she is the team

[wind hazel]

ironic, but it's dead or alive marie rose has the l2d

[timid beacon]

Idk man I wouldn’t question it if I had lion I’d do my best to mlb her instantly

[forest palm]

just own it

[viscid swift]

I can assure you know video good guide on her exists.

And anyway, you build teams around content not ships and Lion is pretty easily the top 5 best fleets for any content which is almost unheard of in this game.

[royal kraken]

This better solve world hunger or something

[timid beacon]

It will

[teal hamlet]

What is this and how do I do it?

[onyx flame]

click on a ship and then next to the level click boost exp assuming they arent level capped

[still knot]

Are they good?

[royal kraken]

Sandy retro pretty nice but don't use those tubes on her

[ivory pawn]

Duca’s just alright, Sandy’s fantastic but expensive to reach that point.

Worth the price. Could use better gear too.

[still knot]

Tubes?

[robust onyx]

Torpedo auxiliary

[still knot]

Ohh I just randomly put what ever I have lol mb

[muted wind]

skip the modernization node on her retrofit (or don't bother at all) for now, it's pretty expensive. it's good for later on though

[still knot]

Ok

[thorn drift]

Is getting 4 Ultra rare shipgirls in 3 days as a level 67 normal?

[muted wind]

weird flex. and no. and please stop pulling on heavy/special and save your cubes

[thorn drift]

Btw I have 1 specialized bulin custom, which of these Ultra rares shipgirls should I limit break first except Mushashi

[muted wind]

none of them, keep the bulin for a new rate up UR

[thorn drift]

K

[stray crane]

guys one meckgun enough? should i go la9 now i have 1 la9

[tulip tinsel]

3 meck

[whole crypt]

the top anti-med CV setups use like at least 4 of them so getting 3 meck guns is objectively easier
meck gun is also fairly usable outside of med bossing compared to La-9

[iron berry]

It's that time of the year! Are my fleets good for hard arbiter?

[crystal ore]

the upcoming UR?

[muted wind]

yeah, whoever is coming in may

[weary edge]

this gonna cause a global obesity epidemic 😭😭

[crystal ore]

Well. I only need 1 more bulin to get my shinano to MLB. Is it worth to MLB her?

[muted wind]

yes, but... save the bulin anyways. you can use dupes to mlb her

[crystal ore]

right

[still knot]

I might borrow that luck of yoir

[thorn drift]

Yeah uh, no-

Saving my luck for the next rerun if I can

[fast frigate]

whats the next ur rerun

[tulip tinsel]

alsace, mog

[timid beacon]

Holding onto my cubes for that day

[agile temple]

Should i get helena retrofit skill or save my gold bps for Portland modernization (new player so they are both in my only fleet)

[tulip tinsel]

helena 2nd skill kinda meh

[wind hazel]

portland gets priority. helena can be delayed until later

[sweet delta]

I think Portland only needs 1 gold BP so you don't have to save specially

[eternal basalt]

Should update Tulipa event

Toward Tulipa's Seas is the next confirmed rerun

[soft raft]

I know I saw the google TL yesturday, but what was the source? JP patch notes?

[eternal basalt]

Jp stream

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1493181597774516335/1493226557395828736/image.png?ex=69df849a&is=69de331a&hm=755b02e4af78efd8e9b41dd2f0adda00c33ebbb10c7d9b6b4fd16917b4c43274

[onyx flame]

damn speed run rerun

[soft raft]

Moment
Also has it just been me or have basically all of the new events so far this year have been either SP/Medium or UR

I swear I feel like I'm either missing something or Majuu cut back on event budget to focus more on AP

[eternal basalt]

DoA is a large event, Feb the usual UR

We got 2 Jan events, and March was as usual

[soft raft]

I know
but as you can see from my rerun list, In terms of format it's all been medium for non-UR events (outside of DOA collab)

And Moskva event was the first time we had a port timeline UR event so clearly priorities at Manjuu have shifted

[eternal basalt]

Doesn't help that major events are Tempesta and Collabs (Ryza last year)

[onyx flame]

tulipa rerun is cause their planning to release more of the faction right? wonder if it be new shipyard or ur mayhaps

[viscid swift]

There haven't been that many period ever since they rolled out the regular UR Schedule.

It's pretty much just the EN Anniversery left.

[eternal basalt]

Already got Golden Lion so PR9 it's probably a PR

[timid beacon]

Any of you guys know what this means? An upcoming buff or something?

[soft raft]

Most likely placeholder text for bio/overview blurb

That site is not officially supported by the devs so idk how that would be a hint of a buff

[small violet]

Hello all. I am again in that moment in time where idk who to mlb first. Suggestions? Have 35k specialized core saved up

[viscid swift]

Huh...

[viscid swift]

Nah, it's something a tad more exciting....

[small violet]

Noticed i didn't screenshot one properly so here

[jovial lintel]

Gah damn

[sweet delta]

Can't tell if they're maxed, but something like Trafalgar > Lexii > Yorkii > Soyuz > 404

[small violet]

Yeh saw the sc were cut wrong

Here

Guess york then soyuz then.

[sweet delta]

If you have the hvars, you can max Yorkii for Regensburg meta or Raffaello for campaign. If not urgent, the Yorkii can wait for perma pity

[small violet]

This in... A year and a half of playing the game btw

[sweet delta]

On further inspection, Soyuz is not that important outside of crossfleet

You can save some for May UR(s)

[small violet]

Not flexing, just am amazed how ez is to collect and mlb the urs

[gentle grove]

Can anyone explain how to unlock that center zone in opsi?

[sweet delta]

Play chapter 5 in opsi missions

[gentle grove]

Yeah I'm done with the entire opsi story

[sweet delta]

There's nothing in Information?

[gentle grove]

Yep nothing but a practice battle quest. Which doesn't give the UR plate drop

[small violet]

Yeah i have about 4 HVARS i think

[small violet]

Have you entered all the ports?

[sweet delta]

Well the practice battle is required ..

[gentle grove]

Thanks a bunch man 🤣 I had cleared the first practice battle last week and was wondering why center wasn't opening up. Cleared the remaining one and the center is open now

[timid beacon]

Tell us

If you know but idk if you are joking

[viscid swift]

I do know as I've been helping to put what it os together but as of right now I'm not at liberty to divulge what it entails. Once it is ready, everything will be revealed.

[timid beacon]

Ohh I see I can’t wait then I hopee it’s nice and comes when the alsace rerun occurs

[tulip tinsel]

why laffey2 rated so low on harbi (regal)

[onyx flame]

i mean she doesnt do much in regard for harbi other than tanky since aa isnt a super concern

[forest palm]

haven't used Laffii outside of a few meta fights

[timid beacon]

Make sure to do those hidden sections (the icons with the gold chest) but yes complete story for opsi most importantly.

[static briar]

Old player returning and I have a weird arrangement of ships leveled up and geared. Any tips on meta right now and how to arrange my fleets? This is a new one I tried setting up just from tier lists but I think its pretty bad.

[viscid swift]

Well for a start.

[hot ridge]

Realized I posted this in the wrong channel, moving it here:

So when I’m doing content like META showdowns, is there any easy way to set all of the ships’ gear? How do people handle that? I add presets for all the ships, but between meta showdowns I switch my best gear to other ships using the edit button in opsi or formation. But there is no edit button in meta showdown (or exercises for that matter)

[woven star]

Same. Usually everywhere which has ship portrait can give you opportunity to change gear. Just hold little bit longer on portrait. Unlike meta and exercise UI doesn't have

[hot ridge]

That’s annoying, been driving me crazy having to search for ships to swap equipment back and forth

Can’t even add them to another formation because half of them are in a different formation

[woven star]

There's something has for formation stage. But I almost always hit point to swap ship

@hot ridge if u unlock "change" button and hold ship little bit longer u can activate ship setup window and then one by one change gears. There's no something better for this afaik

[viscid swift]

I just go back the dock or never change their gear for the duration of the META showdown.

[woven star]

Usually I just pickup ship or activate swap ship window

Maybe this will help. At least easiest way get to ship gear window as I know

[timid beacon]

Will the xp from the first data collection transfer to the second one?

[static briar]

yeah but I want to know if it is worth investing in said URs and what not because I have buulins im gonna get from the returning quest and idk what would be good to sub out for them etc

I am braindead and need to be told like I am 5

[timid beacon]

Damn that sucks guess I’ll wait and just do dailies for the next few days I’m drained on oil

[agile pewter]

Do child ships count towards tech points

If I remember it's one of them, muse or meta that don't right?

[timid beacon]

Like little Friedrich no and prob the same for the other ones

[forest palm]

Children, Muse, and Meta don't count towards Faction Technology, Children and Muse can be used for Combat Data Collection

Meta do give Fleet Technology

[timid beacon]

For meta faction though

[forest palm]

no Fleet Technology is universal

Faction Technology isn't

[agile pewter]

Which one is it that unlocks ships in the shipyard I keep getting confused with the two systems

[timid beacon]

My jolly ass got happy when I thought I could get meta sheffield thinking I’d get HMS tech points and I didn’t

[timid beacon]

Depends for what faction your trying to do

[forest palm]

Faction Tech Points

[timid beacon]

For example Plymouth from PR5 DR Ship requires 900 HMS tech points so you’d need to collect mlb and 120 hms ships to get tech points and it varies by rarity

It can count for BBS CVS CLS CA DDS any ship as long as it shows (HMS) on their name or you can check wiki or something

[viscid swift]

I gave this a read but I hadnt seen that google doc before

This will help with gear.

[fleet marten]

May I know where can I get a Kaga CV other than Drop and Gacha for Collection?

[viscid swift]

You can only get her as a drop from 3-4.

She isn't even in the Build Pool.

[fleet marten]

I guess that's a bummer.
She's available on wishing well though?

[viscid swift]

That's Kaga BB.

[fleet marten]

Even more of a bummer.

[echo vector]

Is maintenance today ?

[viscid swift]

No.

[soft raft]

You're a day early

[viscid swift]

2 days actually.

[soft raft]

Oh right lol

[covert phoenix]

How does world 16 compare to world 14 hard mode? Easier or harder?

[viscid swift]

Easier honestley.

[turbid marsh]

16-1 16-2mob 16-4 easier, 16-2 boss and 16-3 have a bit more trouble

[echo vector]

16-1 and 16-2 is similar to map 14 hard. 16-3 and 16-4 is similar to map 15 but harder.

Funny enough i think 16-3 is harder than 16-4, due to some bug enemy air base don't work properly in 16-4

[sweet delta]

They don't work in 16-3 either

[static briar]

I tried moving stuff around. Just trying to see what comp I should invest into upgrading.

[agile pewter]

In shipyard they said to get 2m exp using one faction ship does it count if I just use one from the faction or as many as possible

[viscid swift]

I mean what are you trying to do.

If you're just leveling up more ships, this is not how you go about it.

[soft raft]

the more you have, the faster it is
Tho it's only either the backline or the vanguard that's contributing XP at a time so you cant have 6 ships in a fleet contributing to XP grind at the same time

[static briar]

to make a general meta fleet to get me through to world 14

[viscid swift]

Right, there is no such thing as a "general meta fleet".

In late game, you need to tailor your fleet to specific content.

[static briar]

yeah but I have to get to that point first I am at world 11

[viscid swift]

You hardly need a meta fleet to clear W11 and 12.

Just use what you already have leveled, then start leveling up more ships in W12.

Anyway, you have a lot of work to do before you tackle W14.

[sweet delta]

Ask about who to raise when you've gotten 12-1 or 12-4 to safe. By that time the new ships may be known

[soft raft]

You have lvl 120+ ships, W11 should be clown college for you

[static briar]

Well the fleet I had couldnt do 11-1

but it was lke 5 or 6 years old

[viscid swift]

And what pretell was that fleet?

[soft raft]

Oh god I just noticed both Lion and Musashi are 0LB

[sweet delta]

3 star URs by the looks of it

[static briar]

No I wasn't using them before

[sweet delta]

Right now you should be able to clear 12-1 with the highest level ships

[static briar]

They werent even out last I was playing I just randomly would og in and build banner ships

[viscid swift]

I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and presume those are the fleets they used.

[static briar]

my old fleet was just baiscally all the 120+s i had thrown together

[viscid swift]

Did you give them any gear? Even assuming some dubious placement and choices it should have easily demolished W11.

Or did you even turn on auto.

[crystal ore]

So we gonna have musashi chan eh

[static briar]

yep they all had mostl +10 purples or yellows

defintly had auto on

[viscid swift]

That tells nothing about how good the gear actually was.
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

Higher rarity does not automatically mean better in this game.

[static briar]

I mean I remeber using a guide to select their gear 6 years ago

I can regear them with what I got I suppose

[viscid swift]

Mob: Monarch, Unicorn retrofit, Cowpens, Saint Louis, Baltimore, Seattle
Boss: NJ, Enterprise, Intrepid, Eugen, Helena, Roon

[viscid swift]

Depending on what "guide" you followed the choices you made might have been subpar.

[sweet delta]

The weeb blog was ok

[timid beacon]

Just read cheekys guides and you are set

[sweet delta]

name doesn't check out

[pine wren]

how does unicorn's heal scale, or solely based on skill level

[sweet delta]

Solely based on skill level and the target's max HP

[last ocean]

when augmenting Unicorn, should I use the bow or scepter? Since the preloaded airstrike triggers the ability before the other carrier could use it, not sure it's good for it

[soft raft]

Preloads dont count
Also most of the time I just slap on Scepter and dont really give much of a fuck

[covert phoenix]

What do people build for their submarine support fleets for world 16, including for 16-1 and 16-2?

[sweet delta]

I build this https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-16-mechanics/#16-1-and-16-2-sub-support-mechanics

Amity flag also works for 70% win rate in the best fleets

[covert phoenix]

I'm using Archerfish/Flasher/I-404 for the support fleet/fleet 2

Can I use U-37/U-47, and U-81 for the actual sub fleet? I don't exactly have two I-404s

[sweet delta]

It doesn't matter much, the stage is easy

Easier than 14 hard even if you don't use subs

[echo vector]

Do we have info for the coming DoA collab it's going to repeat the previous event or aee we getting fresh new story ?

[sweet delta]

there are 6 new SR ships

the rerun coincides with the second week of the new event

[echo vector]

Ok

[marsh tusk]

Which pr7 ship should I research first for the handbook missions?

[tulip tinsel]

Green cat

[scarlet cosmos]

for 16-4 my essex is not retro. who else can replace her?

[safe nexus]

is there any barrage dps like san diego/Z52 i can get now or anytime soon?

[scarlet cosmos]

i was thinking independence for AA

[cobalt gate]

so for chap 16 is there any sub support team that beats the boss?

[scarlet cosmos]

kawakaze, shimakaze, and Scylla are barrage spammers but I don’t know if theyre worth investing in

[safe nexus]

oh kawakaze is the one from merit shop?

[scarlet cosmos]

im not aware if she is but she is a DD

[safe nexus]

ok thx i will check them out

[scarlet cosmos]

i wouldnt invest in shima in 2026 personally and scylla is good for AA but i dont use her beyond chapt 13

[scarlet cosmos]

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

this page has submarine fleet and wr but I don’t know about 100%

[onyx flame]

non of them are but why are look for specifically barrage dps

[scarlet cosmos]

As in none of them are worth investing in or none of them are barrage spammers

I was going off of the quick gear guide ships that use barrage guns, but I can totally be wrong

[wind hazel]

scylla is worth investing

good ship that has good dps with very minimal investment in gear

[verbal plinth]

whoever made the new suchiguma site props looks good

[midnight salmon]

Hey question does the u version of ships attribute to tech points? no right?

like its only towards the u ships in general if they are all 120? or is it universal for that base faction they are from like iron blood for example.

[onyx flame]

they dont grant faction or fleet tech

[hollow gust]

Scylla carried my w15 lethal fleet

[midnight salmon]

oh ok tyty

[ancient tulip]

Fastest way to level up ship and getting gold? Pls I'm broke

[onyx flame]

farm at 12-4

[still knot]

dorm or tactical academy ? gems btw

[wind hazel]

dorm 3rd slot+2nd floor

tactical academy is a waste of gem

[still knot]

kk

[ancient tulip]

Ty

[ancient tulip]

What is the gem part? You mean unlock it with gems?

[still knot]

yeah i unlock dorm slots

[whole crypt]

those things can only be expanded with gems anyway

[serene oracle]

[wraith pendant]

I'm 3 BPs away from my first meck gun. Tears are coming. I'm correct that I should stay focused on PR8 even after that, to slowly gather more, and for ships BPs, and not start chasing something else in prior levels ?

[onyx flame]

stick to pr8 till you finish meck and gouden or get 3 meck gun pr9 is coming soon in july

[pine wren]

is it alright to rush getting tech points for sadegna and northern

or should I just try to progress as normal

[onyx flame]

i mean even if you rush to dev them in the shipyard, you wont have the bps to make them dev 30 so i dont really see a point in rushing for them

[pine wren]

do they need those card like to be mlb

[onyx flame]

yes, the blueprints are how shipyard ships get enhance and gain limit breaks

[pine wren]

ohh i see now thank you

[wraith pendant]

Thank you !

[calm gyro]

Need tip for End game contents, I quitted AL for a few years and forgot everything. Thank you in advance

About rainbow gear thingy and place to farm. I also forgot them

[muted wind]

for ships and gear, you can check:
https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/
rainbow gear parts drop from research, some other rainbow gear can be crafted with items obtained from operation siren.

[boreal merlin]

damn i wonder if i can get my 2nd meck gun 13/50 till then

[muted wind]

you should have enough time for that

[calm gyro]

Thx

[muted wind]

if you need any more specific advice, ask away. if you need help with fleet building, also post your dock (preferably in a thread)

[opaque monolith]

how important is affinity?

[muted wind]

100 affinity provides a 6% stat bonus, so... pretty important

*oath/200 affinity boost that to 9/12% if you bother

[onyx flame]

its free stats and if your affinity somehow drops below the starting 50 your def doing something wrong

[calm gyro]

These is my dock, idk who to focus for clearing chapter 14 to the lastest chapter

[crisp estuary]

MLB who next? Is Moscow meta?

[onyx flame]

how many ur bulin do you have/can get
might be better to wait and see what the may ur is

[crisp estuary]

Not meta enough then. I'll wait for the May UR

I can only MLB one.

[opaque monolith]

grinding early game chapters i feel like i "messed" up my first acc + i wanted to play on a diff server

[boreal merlin]

messed up how

[muted wind]

might want some more investment into unicorn (perseus drops off hard in w14+ because the battles last longer), and maybe guam for w15/16, but for w14 i'd say
mob: bismarck zwei/unicorn/aquila / kronshtadt/yuudachi/sandy
boss: musashi/shinano/implacable / ägir/shimakaze/kazagumo(?)
-# honestly, could make a lot of substituations here, like volga instead of aquila, based on preference. i would've preferred another bulkier vanguard damage dealer for boss, but this is probably fine
there are also some more general guides for the late chapters if you want to give them a read: https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief (plus the tabs below)

[wind hazel]

he picked Javelin as starter 😭

[muted wind]

like the starter choice matters

[opaque monolith]

laffey always
no but it feels like i spent bunch of random resources on random stuff, didnt like it

[wind hazel]

bruh

[onyx flame]

I mean as long as it isnt f2p gem any account is basically salavagable

[onyx flame]

Does matter a lil 🤏

[opaque monolith]

i mostly wanted to play on a diff server

[crisp estuary]

Doesn't matter at all. I started with Javelin and it did not make any measurable alteration to my start. Hell, it gave me one of the best (dodge) tank for the early worlds.

[hearty trout]

i knew AL for so long and just try the game now
for medal shop should i exchange for selector or other item ?

[wind hazel]

get enterprise, kazagumo. grind for more medals, buy the spcore, grind for even more medals, get the 2 gold bulins

[onyx flame]

enterprise first thou since you only got enuf for 1 hull at this time

[pine wren]

is it okay to retire univ bulin

[wind hazel]

better to use them, but if you dont have anyone to limit break(unlikely) then sure

[hearty trout]

what so good about enterprise ?
and where do i get medal farm

[wind hazel]

her damage can skyrocket if her skill activates, which sets her near the top of gold CV in term of dmg

get medal by retiring rare and elite ships. you'll get more from event this friday as you grind don't worry

[forest palm]

Basically good base line, and a Skill that has potential for exponential damage, also any new good plane is a buff to her

[hearty trout]

ooh nice, thanks

so if i got enterprise, she in fleet 2 or same fleet as golden hind

[forest palm]

you're too early in the game to be concerning yourself with a second fleet

also get Unicorn from the guild shop

[hearty trout]

but on ch2 & 3 need 2 fleet bcs mid game runs out the ammo before final boss

[agile pewter]

Is there any reason why the farming guide recommends 9-1/11-1/12-1 instead of the corresponding stage 4

[forest palm]

you can still use a fleet even if it's out of ammo

[forest palm]

they're typically less difficult and easier to level ships in, though 11-1 is debatable...

oh, right oil cap too

[hearty trout]

wait what ? 😂
so what ammo used for

[forest palm]

5 ~ 4 ammo gives a buff, 3 ~ 1 loses the buff, 0 debuffs your fleet is the TLDR

[wind hazel]

what

i didnt know you can lose the buff with ammo

[forest palm]

as far as I'm aware the "adequate ammo" buff stipulated 4 or more

[wind hazel]

i've been playing this game under the assumption that ammo=full dmg, no ammo=-50% dmg, that's it

[forest palm]

[onyx flame]

til

[forest palm]

we oldies used to say, "be sure to get the ammo before you fight the boss"

[whole crypt]

6 ammo

[forest palm]

AR users are wild

[whole crypt]

repair ships = 10% more damage for 1 more fight and one more fight without ammo penalty

technically that's a lot damage but practically one less main fleet ship basically always hurts more

[forest palm]

ya, but I'm not about to get into AR ships and why a new player shouldn't use them

[rapid grail]

any news from CN side* on w16 rates?

[wind hazel]

rate of what

[rapid grail]

coins per oil, exp per oil, cogs per oil... stuff like that

[whole crypt]

probably worse than 15 besides chips and not to mention you have less headroom to bring non-max XP is kind of moot

[wind hazel]

the chips are the same as 15 lol

which is disappointing

[rapid grail]

but surely less oil = higher efficiency for chips comapred to w15 right???

tbf idk lol, some of my guildies want mroe cogs and i want cmdr + ship xp...

[whole crypt]

I recommend buying

[wind hazel]

well you're right since w16 fight less mob

isnt that only for 3 and 4

idk the oil vs 15-1

[rapid grail]

why do cogs on high campaign when

[wind hazel]

huh

[onyx flame]

was gonna let us in on a secret but manjuu got to them first

[signal path]

Why is this terrible? CD and Dmg seems decent

[wind hazel]

other guns are better that's why

[languid trout]

everyone i've seen says charybdis is one of the worst ships, so should i just retire her

[wind hazel]

just keep her. for collection or something

[forest palm]

we do have JP notes

[rapid shard]

-# thats quick

[onyx flame]

oh neat morale bath is back

also skill training speed up is back neato

[forest palm]

https://azurlane.jp/news/738

[onyx flame]

i can kiss my skill book goodbye again

[wide needle]

CD issue, CB is Vanguard and almost 15 secs is too long per shot

[muted wind]

the longer cooldown is technically balanced out by the higher bullet count, but it's still worse than the alternatives

[hearty trout]

Are red gems can freely obtainable and farm?

[onyx flame]

Gem Spending 101

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[hearty trout]

Ooh nice, thanks

[onyx flame]

tldr its limited for an f2p

[stable badger]

these gud in ch15-16? or it can be better? stuff like cowpens, golden leeuws. i don't have leveled/ the plates to dev30...

[viscid swift]

There's no polite way of saying this but what were you on when you geared up these fleets.

[stable badger]

that bad

[viscid swift]

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

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

[stable badger]

oh. btw. all auxs.(and guns) are +13 or +11(purple) just couldn't figure out how to get them show on that site. outside that, i don't see the issues...besides Cat having the PvP purple Aux. and maybe shimanto's torps

[viscid swift]

Well the short list is.

Using HVAR Hellcats in plane-heavy maps with fog mechanics that specifically fuck over targeted ordinance like rocket fighters.

Using a Dive Bomber in Lexington 2's flex slot for plane-heavy content.

AA Radar on Guam.

Quintuple Magnetic Torps on Jeanne.

FUMO on Plymouth.

Laffey 2 using torps designed for a light armor niche with no homing in late campaign stages where the most threatening enemies,

Use of VH Plate on Brest, which increases the damage she takes from torpedoes in content where Torpedoes can easily nuke your vanguard.

The use of the Twin 134mm AA Gun in content where enemy planes are numerous.

Soyuz's auxiliary gun is subpar at intercepting suicide boats.

Brest using 3 pieces of Iris Libre equipment when her skill only needs one to proc.

Not to mention the boss fleet's lack of AA as a whole.

[muted wind]

boss fleet is probably fine on AA if the CVs had intercepting fighters

[stable badger]

ehhhh... now that's why i asked. granted the AA radar on guam is what i saw in a guide for ch15 when it was first introduced

welp. CVs i just changed. used to use shinano+ haku.

[viscid swift]

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

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

As I say, read up on the content and gear first, then assemble your fleet.

[muted wind]

... and mob can probably kick out brest entirely and main-tank with laffey, instead using another support or dps?
honestly AA radar is fine is she survives easily

[viscid swift]

Considering Guam would have to main tank.

[muted wind]

yeah but it is also guam

[viscid swift]

I have doubts.

[muted wind]

honestly, i don't. don't remember her dropping that low

[viscid swift]

I'd rather not have to toss away a run or reset because of her dropping low and potentially dying rather than deal a bit more damage to enemy planes.

Anyway, there's a whole laundry list of issues that need sorting.

[stable badger]

i mean. i DID get ch15-4 to safe with that vanguard

[muted wind]

are you even asking for w15 then?

[stable badger]

nope. wanna move to 16

[muted wind]

treat 16-1/2 like w14, and, after the adjustments just mentioned, this is probably fine for 16-3/4

maybe. i'm not super concerned honestly.

[signal path]

Should I use Universal now?

[viscid swift]

That speaks more to power creep than any particular strength of your composition and gearing.

[stable badger]

new stuff is coming soon, so probably on hold until then

[stable badger]

true. saw that Jeanne is B ranked for boss

[viscid swift]

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

[signal path]

Wdym by new stuff? Like new gear in Gear lab ?

[muted wind]

is that even true? i don't remember when they wanted to expand gear lab, but i could've sworn we only recently got new stuff

[signal path]

Where do you guys even get news? Like other server?

[tulip tinsel]

patch notes

[muted wind]

they do have a vague schedule, just not sure what it was lol

[stable badger]

there was talk about a new UR coming to gear lab. wanted to use my UR Ordnace testing reports last week and that's what i got told to

[tulip tinsel]

all i remember is ply gun added a few months ago after that nothing

[sick kettle]

is there going to be 2 maintenance?

[muted wind]

no, just one on friday

[signal path]

17 & 23 this month

If DOA is 23, whats there in 17

[muted wind]

honestly, i can't think of any notable old UR gear that could be added to gear lab soon, so if you want a tenrai, craft a tenrai. if you already got the one from the prototype shop.

[signal path]

No. Tenrai yet

[viscid swift]

December and June were the schedule they said they'd commit to.

[stable badger]

hmm.. so who should replace Brest? san diego? z52? WDP?

[muted wind]

yeah and we got the gear lab update in... late january? anyway whatever they're adding in june is a good question. wouldn't worry too much about it

[viscid swift]

Any of the 3 work. I'd take Z52 of the lot.

[viscid swift]

They said that after that fiasco.

[muted wind]

laffey2/wdp/z52 as the vanguard honestly works really well too

[viscid swift]

And they kept their word for last year, we got an update in June and December after the one in February.

[muted wind]

honestly, a tenrai is probably not a major upgrade if you have other things to get

[viscid swift]

I should probably lower its priority in the Gear Lab Priority Guide.

[signal path]

What UR is major upgrade? I have soyuz and Flandre at +13 for BB.
