typically you exp them up via other ways like exp book/dorm until they reach a level that they can suvive the grind
thou at world 6 you should really only be leveling one fleet
typically a 2nd fleet is only built from w9+ onwards
wiki
how many dockspace do you have right now
join a guild with 30 dockspace, buy them. get whatever gem you can from campaign, buy more dockspace
š«š¼ smart decision
.

wow that's gonna give him two dockspace! his problem is solved!!!
that looks like you already have 3 slots. buy floor 2, that'll be enough
also hoping this was only elite or lower rarity ships
is there a logic for how many 1~2 hr comissions u get a day or pure rng?
RNG
i feel like there is some pattern to it but i don't know if anyone has collected data on it
probably okay 
he also conveniently forgot to mention chen hai, anshan being good
well, at least an shan is easy to get back if he needs her
chen hai is only good in a very limited capacity
same as hwah jah then
you wouldn't be using them much honestly
dont worry they are useless for you for a very long time
but i'd rather have the ship when i need them than not in the future
cup ramen, that's that ship's augment. also the augments for the other ships you got (first row). clover just because gear. besides that items for augment upgrades/crafting, research bp, cog chips/arrays, and oil.
-# i feel like i'm forgetting something
you buy her last
just 1 is okay
just in case you get her as a drop, just save 8k points until the last day
... not a huge loss 
cause she might drop from sp4
buy the clover, coin/oil, chips/array as well as augments for ship your planning to keep
only if you have the ships they're for. if you tap them, it will say what ship
yes
-# also the augments for elise and patty are from missions
What is currently the best fleet for light armor bosses in OPS?
probably
Kearsarge / Lexington2 / Yorktown2
Z52 / Aurora / any of : Eldridge retrofit, Laffey2, William d.porter
Is there anything you can do with extra copies other than limit break?
do i still get the + comfort from the furniture even if i dont put it?
no, retire
No use for extra copies aside from using as skin display, flexing (fleet power is a useless metric)
yes
thank you guys always helpful 
Zet
Up until a certain points, then it no longer gives any (it gives a certain amount of dorm gear's affection per dom gear... it's complicated)
Is proto sextuple AA worth making?
my opinion is if you're going to craft AA in lab just save for rainbow 
I can craft it ini depot
if you have the prints just craft it
are tkushi yukino shady limited time collab ships?
are what?
autocorrection. like the 4 ships in the limited time pool banner
It sucx in Auto due to range I guess
this whole collab is limited
none of the collab units will ever be peramently added due to liscensing
gonna rename Shandy to Shan diego
we
what in the fuck is that AA gun on the right š
?
i didn't even know the stats on that gun because i never bothered to craft one 
I didnt even know it was a thing
And I highly doubt that was the Sextuple he was asking about if it even is one
I thought he said Proto Sextuple
they likely meant the sextuple bofors... which is also a prototype weapon 
Its still fall short in FR but range might says otherwise I guess
actually, who knows which of the two they meant, they were asking after all. this one good. the sardegna one not really 
I crafted this on depot
really bad range lol. probably fine if you can compensate with range on other ships, the numbers aren't actually bad besides that 
smol musashi real?
yes, after this event iirc
what event
Thats Bofors I mean Proto Sextuple and is it even worth spending proto to get it
the dead or alive collab that's ongoing
small musashi drops on the 30th if i don't misremember what the livestream said
251/400 is Bis Zwei about to be put in Perma or 1 more rerun?
eh the smol ships are probably the first to be retired if i ever run low on dock space
The sardine aa gun is.. trash lol
Yeah Cant they Make a dock for those Little like the META. Aside from collection do they LITTLE count on faction pts?
-# no they want your money for dock space
Yeah I Should have send a pic. of proto sextuple, didnt know people call sextuple Bofors as proto sextuple AA
they don't usually. but you never know who's asking 
/prgrind
Does __ count for Shipyard Combat Data Collection EXP?
Yes
- Combat in Main Campaign, Events, Operation Siren
- Ships that are level capped for any reason, if the EXP otherwise would count. Even if you see +0.
- Muse (µ) ships and loli ships, if the faction matches.
- Use faction filters in Dock to double check.
No
- EXP from Exercise, Dorm, EXP Data Packs, Commissions.
- META ships. They are META faction, not the faction of their normal counterparts.
Why would I even call it proto sextuple when bofors is shorter anyway my bad
there are multiple bofors AA guns
Because Bofors is a company name and there multiple AA guns made by Bofors in game.
there's only 1 sextuple bofors though
yeah and you said prototype sextuple, which... was less clear
/wiki sex
The name is proto sextuple before it slide because its name is too long Lol

-# why is the seattle questline in the results
(off) most famous bofors is what, L/60?
see Proto sextuple hahaha
Anyway whats done is done it doesnt really matter that much
Should I be farming this event and if so why
When would you not farm an event.
āDerstood (thatās slang for understood for those who are new here)

just buy more dock space
ofc
don't usually do EX map/events. why is Hiei soo high?
What are the best meta ships?
because of her skill
for the record that's likely for EX scoring
if you just want to clear EX for chips it usually just throwing rainbows at the problem
well. like in the pic i just put. Juntsu meta is pretty good. torp buffer, 3s invincibility+ 2 torp waves.
I see
she also was, i think the only Meta ship to be... META, for pvp for like a year~
Fortune META made it to PvP for a short while
riiiight. had both of them for a while there
Which is quite the surprise for a cruise pass META considering how bad they usually are
cruise METAs seem to be a hit or miss but some of the newer vanguards may or may not be a better raise than say, starter DD if you're just looking at early options
being at least starter tier is not a high bar to clear and raising a META ship has some advantages in terms of skill leveling not taking up class slots and LB not using bulins
but these basically need to be referred to on an individual basis for which ship is available when a new player comes by
welp. since it's on the subject. how does Dossier analysis work?
you earn dossier coords everytime you earn normal coords in OS up to 200 a day
you can stock up to 1400 coords
you spend 100 each time you start a dossier fight
dossier fights can only request support from guild/friends
dossier fights have an "auto repeat" function which you can turn on after the first fight, which automatically clears the fight after 15minutes with oil cost based number of fights it would take using the damage dealt in the first attempt (max 200 same as normal showdowns)
you cannot start a dossier fight when you have an active current showdown fight and vice versa
oh. so now i'm 1300/1400 cuz i "started" a new fight. can i like use them all in a day? also, what's the point of auto fight every 15 minutes? even if i don't sink on 1st try, i can just repeat it? is this like for new players that only hit like 100k dmg, so they don't have to run 15 fights in a row, let it run it'll finish in half a day?
"can i like use them all in a day?"
Yes
you can spend as many as you have in a day
auto fight you can just go off to do something else while the thing clears itself, but yes it's significantly more advantageous for players who can't really damage the boss since cost caps out at 200 and you clear it regardless after 15min
say a boss has 1mil HP and a player only does 100 damage, the game just "clears" 10000 runs in 15 minutes regardless
you can even abuse this by sending a bulin, doing 1 damage and dying and letting the auto "repeat" 1mil runs in 15 minutes
ohhh... it's 15 minute, and its done...noice
is there a point to this, beside "it's possible"? like more command exp or something?
you die asap so you can go back to doing whatever else in the game since it's the same 15min wait
showdown and dossiers give 0 XP of any sort anyway
Amagi CV with Shinano and Hakuhou beats Hakuryuu? (Hakuryuu instead of Haku)
for heavy bossing Hakuryuu is the worst of the bunch given her weak TB loadout
Hakuryuu is the worse rainbow Sakura CV 
*worst

i feel like i should know this, but for DDs its considered better when they have the AoA limit break thing right? the other one seems so useless
That's not really what you should be looking at when determining the viability of a DD
since i dont have amagi cv should i just use hakuryuu as a replacement
Pick 2 from Hakuhou > Shinano > Hakuryuu > random rainbow or shoukaku > idk
which do i mlb first
how do i get a submarine?
I-56's subquest... or get one from event/special pool
is it worth to farm the first lvl of the event? i cant beat the higher ones
yes
is tai yuan retro currently unobtainable?
No. Her item is in the Prototype Shop.
Somewhat dubious value in 2026.
Nice, 30 tickets for past Lane 
porter
ćNoticeć
From 5/1 (Fri.) 23:59 ~ 5/2 (Sat.) 0:30, temporary maintenance will be conducted to end the friendship event "Fox Rest Area".
In addition, we plan to update the following content during the next maintenance.
ć»New ship "Musashi-chan" implementation
ć»Limited time SP Sea Event "To the Sea of Churipa" reprint (dutchies)
So... not 30 April, May 2nd???
Or are they mutually exclusive (despite "In addition")
who should i limit break? i lost track of the current meta
lion fritz then the rest
should i buy limited ship in thr guild shop, if yes, who
is lion worth even if i already have these bb?
absolutely
For future reference don't partially limit break URs
It's either MLB or bust
depends
oh are you new?
what can i do rn, im buns at following progression guides, i need people to tell me upfront haha
ahahah thanks for the advice
what is the rerun event that starts thursday?
best ship
your first priority is having 2 functional fleets
can i build one rn, also what should i do, im kinda stuck at 2-2
They are the very last thing you need, statboosts primarily...
whats your current fleet?
That link shows that this is the second rurun of vacation lane.........
It IS
2020, 2023 and now
good i didn't start playing until 2024 i think
but that is a lot of collab ships to find in 2 weeks. both collab events end on the 29th?
The 1st
just slapped in what i saw, what do i need to change
Get 30 tickets for rerun ships, dunno if both pools... probably, but patch don't explicitely say
remove bullines slot in portland and helena for vanguard and remove weiser and slot in unicorn
drop everything except shizuku and laffey
The skins leave the 30th though and I ave no clue why
you should focus on one single fleet for now. Building two fleets will clost you resources and is not needed atm. Its also easier to level them up later
put in portland 1st slot and unicorn in any offslot main
and move shizuku to flagship
keep vanguard the ship imo
useless at 0 lb
its at 2-2 it wont matter
theyll have to relevel later anyways, might as well run a ship they can mlb and keep using atm
move portland to 1st slot helena middle laffey 3rd
aight, after that how do i build them., do i and who i use buli
for efficiency sure but at this point i dont think it matters
do you have cubes to blow?
i have 22 cubes, i saw somewhere to save em
Don't blow cubes, save for CN anni
this collab ain't worth pulling on
its for progression less he wont progress that much
focus on unicorn first
so i focus limit break her? do i max
give her some xp packs and 1 or 2 lb and try to do event
Have you read this yet?

I have no more dockspace Im out of gems I cant buy anymore from my guild it says āBuilddable at 3300ā and idk what that means and I have been unable to play the game for basically two months I cant even sortie anymore really I cant retire any ships is there anything I can do
Should I retire ships even if I only have one copy of them? That doesnt feel right is that what everyone does?
Like the locked ships in my dock?
if theyre ass then ur good, technically it would be optimal to save them for tech bonus stuff but i feel like its not that deep and if its literally stopping you from playing the game then i reckon its fine
Ill keep it a stack I love this game but the dock system actually pmo so much I think Ill have to swipe for gems I cant bring myself to retire locked ships
ya i feel u i was in the same position at one point, then i just spent some gems on dock space and retired a bunch of ships id never use and now i dont need to worry about dock space
if u care about collecting ships then ya ur gonna need a ton of dock space
What does the buildable at 3300 mean jn the guild tech facilities? Is that just the cap or can I do something to unlock more from there
if u just care about fleet tech then you probably have a bunch of ships who dont give anything anyway that u can just retire (e.g. collab ships, chan ships, some more probably idk). also i hate that they basically force a new dog ass meta ship into ur dock every season that u cant even retire
idk tbh
Meta ships donāt count against ship cap
They used to but it got changed a while back.
It means you need to make 3300 Contribution to your Guild.
Between contributions, missions, etc.
Probably this https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Guild#Activity
Ooooh ok I see
i slowly wanna start working on a second fleet any ideas? also what do i buy from core shop?
Do Npcs count towards dock space?
Shizuku, independence (core shop), shandy, Elise
You're lacking in good vanguard ships
Is there any fate simulation for Plymouth?
Shinano, unless MLB
well ill probably mlb whichevr i get
if i pick new jersey from the selector could i put her in?
Not at 0LB
Anyone know how to get the numbered tap target hints to show up on Argusā new skin?
On the home screen, you should see a new button on the left that looks like a magnifying glass with L2D inside it.
Oh shit bro thank you
how does the quick retire work? can you set it to retire certain rarities?
it retires ships you have that are MLB/your have enough copies to MLB
does not work to bulk retire commons, unfortunately
Is there any reason to get shandy and yukino's augments if i dont have them? Is it worth pulling for them if I don't have that many pulls and still need strong chars for a second fleet?
i think its on the left side of the retire screen, there should be a gear to configure it. you can make it do only certain rarities and can set it to keep enough copies of a ship to MLB them or get rid of all spares
mine does, but i might have changed the settings
you need to MLB commons
oh nvm if you go into retire settings and check "don't keep" for the last option it will bulk delete commons
*without you needing to MLB them
does the high efficiency battle log include 2xp as well for ships?
Is high efficiency the best way to grind exp early on, Iām in work 6 and Iāve been struggling to level up my newer units
Double rewards, and double cost.
XP is a reward, so...

Doesn't really matter. Hell, there's an argument to be made it's technically worse for XP, as you'll drain your morale to under 120 faster.
From a gaming meta/progression pov, this banner is a skip
I set a research focus and have been working towards specific DR blueprints for about a month now, but I did the math and it looks like it will take abt half a year if I use general blueprints and a year if I donāt.
Is that normal? Ik people said it takes a while, but that seems insane for one ship.
It only took me about 3.5ish month to D30 all of PR8 from starting at zero without using general prints on that season.
How did you arrive at these conclusions exactly?
It took me a month to get abt 50 blueprints. Thats 10 months to get to 500?
Are you picking research projects correctly?
Right. Ignoring the potential you're just not picking good researches.
Are you aware of what getting a ship to dev 30 does?
To the research selection.
I think so, im using this guide: https://azurlaneecgc.com/research/
no clue. I havent maxed a single ship in the shipyard yet, but I've been repeatedly told its important
When you get a ship to Dev 30, that's ship's face researches are knocked from the pool until every ship in the season is dev 30.
So your premise that your average per month will remain constant is wrong.
Screenshot the current state of your queue? Then we can see if you're likely doing the right projects or roast you
Yo thats really useful. I had no idea
Yeah, theres no way- im gonna get flamed so hard its not even worth it lol
Cant help if you dont show what your doing lol
Only 2 rn cus I want it to end around the time my daily refresh comes back
Yeah that basic is a horrible choice tbh
Well you can only blame yourself then for your shitty income.
My current que for example, bad luck on rotations and not spending cubes on it
The basic was legit all I had. Ik it isnt recommended but the other choices were all cube costs
That 8 hour purple is a bottom tier project according to the guide you're using
I would have eaten the cube cost.
It would be the bottom of the bottom tier
Once in a while won't kill you.
Is there a project priority guide for ship focus for poor players? Like ship focus but with a cutoff below which gear focus or Q should be taken
I donāt think so. Iāve mostly been ignoring gear cus I donāt rlly understand it.
Rigging projects help out a ton and you want the gear from season 7-8.
That helps. Iāve been skipping rigging projects since they donāt offer blueprints
1hr rigging only cost gray plates and help you quickly get to next project. They may not give prints but your able to get way more projects which means more prints in long run.
Also the gear from season 7 and 8 is pretty good. The rainbow gear they give is also the best for medium armor.
I thought the best for medium armor was moskvaās gun which I have form the event?
If we are judging queues does mine look fine?
Nvm, for some inexplicable reason I forget different ships have different guns. Ignore my dumbass
i dont remember if i paid cubes for the gold one or not
Not that I know of.
I mean don't know what the selections each rotation were but looks fine.
Well that was a bad idea.
also seeing something someone just mentioned, what are these ship prints even for? can i get the ship without having any prints for them?
like what happens when i finish getting the 3mil xp for roon
You might wanna give this a read.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vT41s8l8HPMD96X8xgiHjhCfcfss8Si1eLSEGgMbFHUn37oqKwb2JI7PX0iKsOvPJ6M8iYs06KyR7O9/pub
thank you i shall look
oh damn if i aint at chapter 12 yet i shouldnt be bothering with this stuff?
As I say I would put it on the back burner.
is there a guide for research planning???
not sure if this is what you are talking about but i think this?
i see
Because it's not an option yet
"YET"
Rainbow gear are obtained in gear lab, PR prints, or events
mk6 is good enough. mk7 is only marginally better when both at +10. you want to +13 it to be worth the resources
and +13 a UR gun is expensive
Yes
A simple reference for what gear to equip in each slot for the most commonly encountered enemy types. Covers main fleet and vanguard weapons and auxiliaries.
Say more
i know the 'how to read' section says higher isn't better, but it's still tiered to a certain extent that higher is better. however for a BB loadout i think it's pointless to include 57mm in it, because 99% you want the hit from 76/staag on a BB anyway, and 57mm is better on vanguard than on a BB.
the 'debatable worth' should also be scrapped. players that can get those two items will have roomba or staag, so kinda pointless inclusion when their performance is already a debate
i'd put
76
staag
hazemeyer
roomba, rest of gold
purple
maybe can exclude haze
Iām a simple man, rainbow, staag or roomba 
57 is certainly better than or equal to staag for 13 15 16, and I won't rule out rich players . Players should prioritize for slots
if you wont rule out rich players, then progression guide should include whale section that suggest buying pr vouchers
and qgg should include monarch gun or something, since rich players can +13 it to be better than mk6
By rich I mean boomers with multiples of the best
i still think it's a rather pointless inclusion
let's say player A has 3 76 and 3 57. ideal setup you'd still want to put the 76 on your BB
and to a new player 57 isn't recommended to craft, so it's also pointless
i just dont see a scenario where you want to put 57 on your bb
I will put debatable worth for 57 but leave it there for the many, many boomers and some newer players who already have it
how much do i need to get her?
boomers should just learn to not use gear recc
1000/2000/3000/4000
ask cheeky's opinion, he has like 6+ of it LOL i think his opinion has more weight on this case
ok
I have more 57s than cheeks and more +13'd than him too, tagging it debatable is probably good enough
oh you're also one
This is why 76 > 57 on BB and 76 = 57 on non AA carry vanguards, it should be understandable 76 on BBs first
And if it's 57 vs Roomba on one BB and one VG, then either way doesn't matter
even on carries 57 isn't significantly better than 76, if at all
ok let's put an example.
player B has a 57, 2 staag, 1 sextuple, many many roomba and twin90.
would you recommend him to put 57 on the BB?
Smart players can figure out staag on BB and 57 on vanguard in that case, non smart players don't lose much from not doing that
if it's at a point where the arrangement of those AA guns matter said player needs to come ask about AA circle and not just follow qgg/gear recc
overly detailing AA gun reccs isn't super helpful
thats reminds me that i needa ask bout that, is changing the formation super significant?
i mean my point is 57 is rather obsolete gear by this point. it's the same reason why qgg don't have monarch gun on it, because it isn't worth getting it. so why exclude one and then include in another
if you wanna say boomers have them, boomers have monarch guns too
if you mean the formation shape then circular is significantly better AA if you need it
it's the single easiest tweak to go for first if you're struggly with plane hells
in most other cases you should use double line
i seee, ive only been using single line cause i havnt noticed a difference until recently, so i was curious
i suppose i shall try changing things and see if it helps, thank ye
the offensive stats on single line only affects your vanguard, also being the default formation you start with you tend to not notice early in the game that it's not that helpful
main fleet damage becomes more significant as you progress and single line simply becomes irrelevant, while the survivability double line adds becomes more valuable
or in the case of plane hell/AA, circular
thats understandable, i actually didnt know that it only affected vangaurd, my thought process was if they die first then i survive
to be fair monarch gun is significantly older than 57 and the benefits of using a +13 monarch gun over mk6 is significantly less than 57 over other non-rainbow AA guns, where AA is concerned
the recommendations are also not based on comparing the guns at +13
at least based on that recc chart I don't think any newbie's first reaction would be "ok I need to craft a 57 first"
your thought process is very good. But as chapter number goes up, you can't overlevel your ships compared to the enemies, and enemies also get tankier for their level, and more enemies spawn after enemies die.
Because Monarch gun is significantly older.
And the 57mm is still debatably joint best in slot if we really want to get into the nitty gritty of opimizing the AA circle, Monarch Gun is far from being close to the best against light armor.
i still can't think of any scenario where you want to put 57 on your bb, all things considered
when you don't have a 76 and have multiple 57s for a plane hell
that means you weren't rich enough to have gotten 8 +13 57s like Mr. NNTKTT here
find me one person who have multiple 57 who don't have 76
How much Hvars do I need I just got my second plane
in the relevant comp that uses them 5
0 need.
5 want.
The ones that the Lexii and Yorkii uses only they need it?
2 for each, 1 for kears
2 for Lexii, 2 for Yorkii, and 1 for Kears.
what do the classified file mission loggers do? not sure what the prio should be for the exchange shop
they are basically a one time chain quest that rewards you with a UR Blank an other mats
move the classifieds into row 1.5
https://azurlaneecgc.com/shop_priority/#voucher
lowk cant live without the qol ones š
File Loggers are rather lengthy, it's like 7 or so chain quests
if you're done with the other 4 sources and you want wyvern 2 weeks earlier, then buy the classified
Does anyone know what is the absolute cheapest fleet to auto clear 12-4 for the most gold to least oil used ratio?
guess what, low oil means fewer coins from clearing rewards, so coins/oil doesn't increase meaningfully if at all
remind me is there gold plates behind classified loggers
guess I'll find time to clear up that last one
I didn't know that, my bad.
clear reward coins is scaled on average oil spent
average players buy classfieds for UR design
nntktt buys classifieds for gold plates
||I buy classifieds on accident||
Side note but I also wanted to say thanks for your great top tier guides (Very random sorry).
what's the conversion rate for each item to supply shop vouchers?
tap it in your storage to find out
oh bang
I used to clear them out of habit but apparently they added one later which I haven't bothered with
wait all my ap refills dont get converted š
yes which is why you should spend all of them each month
should you only use eagle union planes on independence
most of the best fighters are USS so that works out
USS TBs however tend to be shit so just follow usual TB recommendations
idk lemme ss
have you looked in https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/
flapjack, tigercat, hellcat and corsair are all eagle
Is this worth it?
where do you even get gold hellcat i forgot where i got mine
Avenger sucks, Hellcat is ok if you don't have gold 2x500lb planes
ok
but purple F4U Corsair is slightly better than purple Hellcat
what about barracuda
Alright, thanks
should i move gold hellcat from shinano to independence
Gold barracuda is probably better than +15% avenger
Independence's fighter slot is much stronger than Shinano's, so without further context you should move it
how does "something good is going to happen~!" occur? it says xp boost but idk how to replicate it
should i do the same for the gold barracuda
or just keep the avenger
morale >= 120
if those are your only 2 TBs then keep it as is
is there a way to check total morale for someone?
dorm
hint: Seafang has 2x500 lb bombs
kk
you can sort by morale in the dock
What plane should I get from the core data shop?
It depends really
none
I take it back 
breguet is the only one you can consider after getting a bunch of other stuff
What about buying one of them solely to craft the wyvern easier thatās what I did
it's better value to buy breguet with core and craft blackburn firebrand in gear lab
than to buy firebrand and craft breguet
Owhhhhh, what about any other stuff I should I get?
Should I get vanguard with the standard pity or wait for other ur to be added first?
I would say get more white shells imo.. idk if thatās fine to say but I believe itās better to have more of those than the black ones
Ok
you "need" 3 white shells
any other perm URs you don't have or haven't MLBed
I don't have uvh, vanguard, and implacable
New UR stream next month right?
If everyone else is MLB then implacable isn't really a bad choice
if for nothing else you can now scream "I want everyone to FREEZE!" when you hit the airstrike button
so did this collab not have a gem furniture?
looks like it
What does Yukino do? Any gimmicks
what do you do with guild shop currency? you get much more than items cost
use it to buy guild tech or buy some of the purple ships for faction/fleet tech
is prinz eugen good?
No
Waste of gold bulins
Not rly worth the investment...
i can only beat the fist lvl of the event should i even bother farming it?
collabs will most likely never reappear but the ships are not meant to change any meta
atleast i would try it and we still got time but its not necessary for your progress
you should be farming events regardless 

whats the priority for buying stuff with event currency?
i didnt realize this is a collab, how often do collab units get a rerun?
often never
how many pulls do i need to guarantee a rate up unit?
the ship (if you want her, but wait until the last day in case she drops otherwise), and the augments for any collab ships you have. clover just because gear. then oil, the items for augment upgrades/crafting, research bp, cog chips/arrays.
there's no pity
whats the pulls/400 meter? pity for global pulls?
yeah, that's for the standard UR selector
ok, thank you!
pity only exist for ur, everything else is just rng fiesta
these ships aren't meta-defining or anything, skip them if you don't want them 
actually 1 more question, did the timer on seeing what you got affect pulls?
but shizuku, tsukushi, and patty are essentially free from grinding, so at least get their augments when you get them
more the inverse, the ship you're going to get affects the timer
i dont care about meta anyway
i mean most gachas dont have one, do you get enough skips that it dosent matter?
i have... 6000 spare quick finishers. i'd say so. 
i saw tsukushi in the shop, but how do you get hizuku and patty
shizuku should be in your dock for npc trust missions. if you get 1000 points, she joins permanently (grind), use her in the boss fleet for double trust. patty is from the pt milestones at 10k points (event grind, essentially overlaps with trying to get tsukushi)
how to get baguette
brƩguet? core shop (not a priority) or gear lab (don't think that path is worth the cost) 
breguet?
idk i saw 5 years ago baguette gun is good
should i prio leveling gear or awakening fleet
baguette gun is like dead now there better and cheaper alternatives 
powercrept
i am genuinely not sure which gun that even refers to now. single 138.6mm mle?? 
baguette is the french dd gun
yeah. uh. anyways. yeah pull on alsace when she comes around. 
-# iris and vichya are french
o h
who would i replace with alsace though
probably no one immediately if you can't mlb her
ngl it doesnt matter until you actually get her and have lb her
we dont even know what you have
And she might be powercrpt by CN anni 
what do i get for 3 staring an event lvl
is there a know % of how long do u need on average to get a cube from comissions?
10 hours... rest is random chance
shinano switched spots w independence
boss/mob? prob izumo. also that mob fleet needs a tank, i don't think suzutsuki counts 
let sandy tank, abuse her
we don't get cn ship on cn anni?
CN anni is basically a wildcard in terms of what faction gets the event
global anni is also random, yeah 

global anni isn't a UR anyways, so it doesn't matter too much
tf
so 2~3/ur year?
4 UR events; feb, may (CN anniv), sep (JP anni), dec
-# not entirely consistent which of those slots get a free UR in the shop yet 
in exchange en anni gets a ur retrofit instead 
save or anyone to go for in the reruns?
i assume we prob get a ur rerun in july/glob anni as well
save if you don't want them. the rerun's shop will also have one selector for one of the gacha ships if you want one in particular (assuming you meant the collab rerun)
the UR reruns are usually pretty close to the other UR slots
i'll save then, think my current fleet is fine i'll just pick whatever if there's anything catches my eye 
ur reruns are jan, mar/apr, jun/jul, nov
Question about shipgirls skill which increase stats by %
For example for QE 15% stat boost, does it apply :
-on the total ammount of stats, base + gear + tech points
-or only on the base stats of the shipgirl
the former. basically what they enter combat with before any skills proc
Thx, and do you know if multiple stats buffs are applied additively or multiplicatively ? For example two 15% buff
- 15%+15% or 1.15*1.15
Thx 
going by the wiki, it's roughly
((base * cat bonus) + gear + tech + cat talents) * (1 + sum(skill%)) + sum(skill flat)
-# which looks similarly insane to any other math this game does behind the scenes.
-# https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Damage_Calculations
Is there any known events coming next update that I might need oil for
dead or alive lol
ded on arrival
still should grind for the shop if you can
it's 7days rerun so it should require less oil. probably fine if you just do the daily bonus and SP
š«š¼ slightly more oil if this is your first time doing the event, because clear
its additional points from a stage for your first clear
typically 5x for normal and 3x for hard
but if its sp idk
don't remember what the ryza rerun did ngl 
there was a bonus i just dont rmb how much 
wiki doesn't have it either. oh well.
... found the patch notes. ryza collab just had a straight up x3 pt multiplier. not once daily, just... in general 
... the fact that this isn't in the patch notes for the doa collab rerun is a bit concerning though
it had cringe crafting stuff too
-# yeah, which was also multiplied. but it did apply to event pts 
Short duration and ran at the same time as the new event too. I sincerely hope they just forgot to put it in patch notes.
ryza rerun actually only started two days late, not a whole week. so you actually have less time for the doa rerun. and let's just hope there is a multiplier they forgot to mention in the patch notes.
jp notes
1 Duration reduced to 2 weeksā1 week
2 Cumulative Pt Number of Rewards Adjust the hurdles to obtaining various rewards downward (SR "Female Tengu" requires Pt 10,000 ā 5,000), and add some rewards
3. Adjustment of the product lineup at the event shop (Pt exchange) (addition of construction support tickets, etc.)
4. Light Reprint Login Bonus Campaign
If you log in to the game during the event, you can get the following rewards in the event banner
Day 1 Construction Support Ticket Ć3
Day 2 Event PtĆ1000
Day 3 Construction Support Ticket Ć3
5 Adds rewards for some limited missions
6. Added the daily exclusive mission "Clear any event stage once" (Event Pt300, T3 textbook available)
7. Add a first-time clearing bonus (5x) for each sea area every day
8 Fuel consumption limits and clear rewards have been added to some event stages
9. The progress of the event waters will be carried over from the progress of the first "Vacation Lane Reprint" event
Up to 31 Construction Support Tickets available for 10 event rewards
11 Adjust the difficulty of the extra stage downwards```
was it SP event as well?
5x for all stage seems ok
standard stuff i guess
oh, okay, nice. didn't remember if the first rerun had that since it did run for 2 weeks.
how many tickets do we get for SR events?
Up to 31 Construction Support Tickets available for 10 event rewards
this part?
ye, like UR we get 1 less from JP, 44 vs 45 or something
Foolās Scales gave 32/33 tickets, so about the same.
more than i thought
i forgot we got any tickets for that. well, i guess that's nice. 
Is this true that weapon reload apply on the upper rounding ?
I didn't saw any source on the wiki
vanguard guns run at a 10hz interval, so yes. the part this is not directly pointing out that guns also have an additional fixed delay that actually leads to those numbers iirc 
Oh i see 
Trying to understand the math behind the game and its hard
wait, actually, these numbers seem weird? i know it rounds up, but that... still feels slightly wrong.
https://suchiguma.github.io/deepresearch/single-113mm-vs-76mm
suchi also has this write up, but it doesn't actually state what the real reload time ends up being
I though it was
0.50-0.59 -> 0.6
not 0.51-0.6 -> 0.7
Weird
Absolute cd and etc maybe
yeah. i'm frankly not sure what's correct there. all i know is that volley time (0s for this gun) and some extra fixed delay (0.3s for DD guns) still apply. 
i was thinking it was that, but absolute cd for DD guns should be 0.3s, so that's still off
Smthing like this
uh, hm, that looks like 0.79s effectively? i'm wondering if anyone truly understands what's going on with guns at this point
yeah but she can dodge 
I guess 0.75 max cd for rld over 280
my tool doesnt account for frame rounding nor does it fully handle vanguard guns in its entirety
oh, i figured after that. where does the 0.25s come from though?
is roon ass
abscd, i know the wiki states a different value but there is various reasons why the wiki numbers are higher, 0.25 is vettted by suchi but its also an average
that's... interesting. i figured it was the auto_aftercast value (which matches the wiki), but i guess there's more weird stuff going on
-# as in i get that there is an absolute cooldown, i was wondering about the specific value
u can ask suchi how exactly it all works i dont fully remember it all
but like abscd/vt are gonna be different per ship per skin
because of chibi animations
jesus christ 
yeah watch suchis vid about fushun
Different per skin ??
Hell 
yes different skins have different chibis therefore different animations
... will do later. 
the most obvious thing i noticed about different skins are the offset at which bullets fire, but i didn't realize the animations impact gun fire
it usually doesnt make the world of a difference
Where to watch sushi vids i dont even know who he is 
the goat 
https://www.youtube.com/@Suchiguma
yeah the tldr is one of fushuns skins had a bug that effectively meant she has/had 0 animation delay which caused (fast) guns to go wild
go to a port and heal/redeploy there
go to a blue port and use fleet deployment for a free heal every 24 hours
or just use the healing boxes in your storage
if they sunk before, the healing boxes won't heal that debuff
I know itās pinned that the new collab characters arenāt good and collection only, but are any of the rerun characters coming tomorrow any good?
its in the pin as well thou 
also i wouldnt know i barely play anymore lol
i suppose the pin doesn't exactly state that this also applies to the old ones...
i would say that the rerun ones are also collection only at this point
-# you're expecting EN to scroll down and read?
no thats why im pointing at it 
is abscd even a āļø value
no clue at this point. sounds like it shouldn't be 
there no mention of zwei to perma yet right 
im nearing my perma pity from these scuffed rng with collab banner
nope
most likely julyish
tbh if you already have everyone and dont wanna wait, just hold onto it
have everyone and important ones mlb 
Does anyone know that Monarch lover guy who gives his thoughts about upcoming ships + if they're good or not
I wanna know if he's reliable for those guides

Literally who?
Anyone predicting ships before the kit is revealed is not reliable
Hell even with kits revealed ppl get stuff wrong all the time 
Hi, I thinking of finally tackling chapter 14th, is this guide actual https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief ?
First part of the Chapter 14 guide, with example fleets for auto and explanations of ship roles.
yeah, those guides are good. if you have further questions, just ask here
thanks
Oh I js remembered his name š Kimocheese
i don't think that guy is trustworthy for basically any info on this game
Alright thank you 
I assumed it meant everyone as in the new units. My bad. Thanks for the clarification!
Pretty sure next UR is gonna be good 
Idk why it was a reply off of your comment
it was supposed to be a standalone question
Next Mogador incoming
you can cross-check whether it's in
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/
generally safe to keep gold+ gear. if you run out of space you can just throw it on unused ships
also keep any unique T0 purple gear, that's usually limited somehow
This just made my day
(T0 as in what it shows in-game)
so I saved up about a thousand main gun gold plates, and I was wondering if I should still use them on the gold guns or rainbow guns
Im a bit indecisive when it comes to spending them, cause I know the +13 guide says gold guns, but... rainbow :(
are current event 1 or 2 weeks?
new 2 old 1 cn anni 3
Do you know where this green +30% come from ? On some ships it appears and on other it doesnt
it's only been 1 week right, so double event at same time?
Save them until you need a boost for META or something, then +13 what youāre using for that.
Or you can +13 your best rainbows if you want. Meck gun will hopefully be a staple for a long while. Same with Lion and Raff guns.
some DDs get 30% more stats from auxiliary gear when at max limit break
Am I doing it correctly? The gear is good?
what the fuck
That doesn't sound good >_<|
new event 2 weeks, been 1 week
next event rerun, 1 week
- the dive bomber that you have on lex is only for accelerating. use a helldiver if you don't have anything better
- shell/FP/hit auxiliaries on musashi (i mean honestly autoloaders aren't the worst thing if you lack options
) - give tohka some proper EVA gear
*the purple aux on tohka is technically fine, but just use a toolkit instead
+1 day for both... for some reason
Swap AA guns on Tohka and Musashi too.
Kk thanks
if you don't want the event ships, you shouldn't be pulling at all (the 1 daily light aside)
How many cubes do you have?
You should stop summoning on Special, youāll get Musashi via the 400 pity eventually. Summoning on current event counts towards it btw.
Um I only have this
that's the wrong slot, i meant the middle
?
CN anniversary
swap this one out
SoonTM
1 build per day (preferably light), but... yeah. don't otherwise
1 on light, it returns itself
With suisui?
no with a helldiver. it's purple, you're bound to have one
what do i do with 64k core data am i in a hurry to buy anything at all
oh. hm. what. okay. sure leave that dive bomber there what lmao 
Um mean this one?
yes
Kk
/coredata
yeah i alreayd bought out the limited store i think, and the shells or ships i dont have an immediate use for
Tho with 64k youāre probably past all that and just buy what you want.
Just have like 3 snorkels and 3 pressure-hull designs for subs.
oh i have never built subs actually ive been playing the game without them coz they feel kind of difficult to grind
Yeah, they are kinda whatever atm. Useful if you need a bit more oomph. Just use books/dorm and turn on autocall subs when you want to raise some.
Which one is better for musashi
The gold gear was use for warspite
And Yes I'm very clueless xD
Right.
Radar.

Get a workable fleet and go do event as soon as u can clear the first stage
What am I missing on this Vacation Lane EX Hard mode? My vanguard is getting obliterated, eldridge or no eldridge. They're all 125. I've watched a couple videos of people doing it and their vanguard takes nowhere near as much dmg
the boss deals increased damage to enemies that are further away. that or you're on hard mode and the videos aren't
also eldridge's operation rainbow and laffey II's defense skill don't work on EX hard modes.
i have enough materials to either upgrade my ONLY +hit AA, or i could make a new "weaker" one, which should i do... i'm assuming make a new one, but thought i'd ask
i would do neither
just do more reasearch and you eventually get enough for both
fair, i didn't even think about that 
It says to use the base fleet, but I don't even remember who that consisted of.
I bought that level 70 pack.
Shizuku unicorn (guild shop) maybe elise
Portland javelin helena (guild shop)
Check if u have enty in medal shop and use her over elise if u have her
Otherwise
If u want to save gold bulins for later can use long island/ranger instead of elise
Uhh, what. 
Focus unicorn retro
The progression guide and the link I posted also has a link to newbie guide by sam
Check that link as well
Which part wasnt clear 
Ohhh you were saying the units' names. I must get used to the very literal way units are named.

Who is long island?
Nobody to be concerned about
/tierlist
this tierlist also has good idea about who is good later in the game
So in the future if unclear u can check it out and see who is worth investing in
Even tho I would say probably always ask here until u get comfortable with the game
Okay wait so I should use Shizuku, Unicorn(?), Elise, Portland, Z23, and Helena(?)?
/tierlist

Okay.
I would say yeah that is a solid fleet
Only one I am a but iffy on is elise but she is solid
But if u have enterprise in medal shop (check the options) get her and use her instead
I think I have 2 medals.
Z23, not javelin
If I only oath Bismarck Zwei, can I use Bismarckās wedding skin on her, or do I need to oath the original Bismarck as well?
Oh yeah my bad idk why i saw javelin instead 
For shizuku I think if u play enough u will get some dupes
So dont invest bulins into her yet
Oh wait I also don't have Shizuku. She's temporary
Original bis need to be wed too though
They are universal dupes for their rarity yeah
Gold bulins should be used with care
And UR bulins should be used later on in the game after u ask ppl here 
Okay lol. 
Oath on zwei is enough alone to unlock oath skin
How do I gain Shizuku permanently?
Just play
One of the mission tabs is for her and u get trust levels and dupes from the milestones
Can't equip oath on unoath though
Event, or literally anything? Because I currently can't beat the Event first stage.
Yes but your answer wasnt clear 
I just wanted to clarify
Only oath the ship u want the oath skin on
Oath zwei > use skin on zwei
Oath og bisko > use skin on og bisko
Story mode highest chapter
Until u can do event
Then switch to event and push as much as u can
Always do higher stages if u can
U want to reach oil cap map
And read the guides fully when u have a chance
It has more useful tips and information
I read all of the campaign guide.
Imo prioritize purple bulins on portland and unicorn
And always use duplicates for limit break if u have them for some reason
Did you read the first line highlighted in Green of the campaign guide?
Read the newbie tips as well
It doesn't load.
those kinds of like, idk docs or links don't work for my phone.
Didn't work in Arknights server either.
Sushi means this part
Which just tells u to read this guide as well https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
Yeah when I tried to go to Newbie Tips from that green highlight it didn't work.
This one works though.
Try with the link I just posted

Well good luck
If u have more Q feel free to ask
Okay ty. 
Maybe your browser or extension is blocking links
I use google, I don't have any extensions.
Where do I find the medal section?
To see if I can get Enterprise.
Should be in the monthly shop tab
One of them is medal
I always forget how to go to it with the new UI 
I'll use the Bulins on Elise, should?
If u have enty
Use long island for now
And get enty when u can
Elise is fine
It is just that collab ships dont give faction points
And enty is better anyway
U should be able to get enough medals by the end of this month
Although u might want to grab the cheap spec core as well from medal shop 
Purple bulins are easier to get
At some point u will have enough
Honestly elise is fine if u dont want to wait for enterprise
U have the bulins for her
And enty can be raised later
Try and get enty before monthly reset anyway
Even if u wont use her
But try and get the specialized core as well
Okay. 
where to get patty?
event milestone
Enterprise can get her dupes for free?
no u have a chance to pull her dupes from gacha pulls but if u get her and want to use her just use bulins
Oh. 
Is all these ship girl worth MLB for the extra fleet tech?
Anyone know when hms trafalgar is coming backā¦
Same time as Lion.
2027 late summer
any idea when laffey II might return? am not familiar with the event "cycles"
-# (and/or Z52)
-# man it sucks having missed those events lol
Damn thatās a looong time
Also I have a question, is 150 of the arrays for every ship or does it change with rarity? If so how many would it be for a UR like Plymouth for 125
Laffey 2 reran already at the start of the year. You'll be waiting for her to be made permanant at that point and we have no idea how that'll go.
-# FFS
well, thanks for the info ^^
z52 either end of the year or next jan
Z52 you'll be waiting until the start of next year.
okay, that's at least still on the radar then 
@undone plover I beat the first event stage. I remember you saying something about it.
Farm it instead of campaign. Until you can farm SP2 of the event
Need to make Shizuku not an NPC and if you do so, then you should buy the Tempura in the event shop for 3000
tempura snacks for 3000!?! inflation has caught up šš
how do i get shizuku?
Usual NPC stuff
oh i have her.... nm
Yeah but make sure you got the 1000 pts too so she's permanent
sorry i had a CV filter on when I searched for her
lol
Just to confirm, after doa is kazan event right?
Quick question, what ships Iron Blood should I use to make a B to A tier formation?
I believe the stream alluded to Tulipa

check here and pick based off content https://suchiguma.github.io/home/home-page/
A collection of lategame to endgame guides, ship tier lists, mathematical or simulated calculations, and tools for the mobile game Azur Lane.
tho faction fleeting is not ideal for anything really
If nakhimov is so good with soyuz, who could be the third of these?
depends what type of content you're doing, but your nakhimov is far from dev30 and your soyuz isnt mlb
which at tha tpoint you're better off using an mlb unit
im assuming you're early game, which at that point shizuku is a strong starter
JP confirmed it'll be in the update after the upcoming one.
did they give us one less copy on purpose? 
I have 0 gold bulins so no matter for me
frankly the only noteable units you have there are aquila, unicorn, shizuku and the URs
Be glad, 4 copies is a VERY VERY recent thing, it was always 1
Do we know the dates of the next UR and Alsace rerun? or do we know about when they'd publish those dates?
new ur is most likely end may when cn anni
but thats the closest for estimation you get
I have travel coming up and I'm stressing over the rerun even though I probably shouldn't be. š© Alsace is the last of the "mostly useful" URs that I don't have. Although I already have Bisz, Lion, and Meck, so she's probably not a huge addition to my fleet overall.
june-july for alsace rerun would be my guess
I say immediately following CN anni but 
yeah i am also more inclined to believe june cuz of that
hello, i have a question when will be bismarck zwei added to the normal banner?
should be added to perma pool in a few months
for now imo NJ unicorn enterprise takao sirius jean d'arc
farm event SP4 and the 1 time stage
1 fleet should work i believe
work on san diego, get indep from core data shop and retro her as well
imo save UR bulins for this next CN anni event unless u have a lot (how much spec core/UR bulin u have?)
others u can work for fleet 2 later is volga and yukikaze
also dont ignore shipyard
just unlocked OpSi any guides i can read for beginners?
We love abyssal nodes
does the u idol version of ships contribute towards their fleet tech? no right?
This is my current fleet, and i just finished the rookie missions so I can choose NJ or Shinano. Which one would be better for me? Or in general?
Correct.
tyty
We could probably make a pin or a command out of it at this point. In short neither is a great pick.
NJ would be better in the short term in isolation, but she'll get powercrept more quickly because the devs release so many UR BBs.
Shinano will be relevant for longer but you also won't get that much value out of her in the short term because to shine she really needs to be paired with other IJN UR CVs.
Neither is high priority for UR Bullins.
Thanks. And would NJ be basically useless in my fleet without MLB?
Whats the next UR on Perma?
BisII
Both would.
Invest in shizuku for second fleet?
Any augment worth crafting for Aquila? Or should I just wait until I have a powerful ship with her own augment..
Damn that dock capacity...
If you want to be optimal, wait until you drop a blue Scepter then upgrade it to purple.
But you'll want enough purple Scepters that it isn't a big deal crafting some.
is that alot? š im new but got annoyed with the dock full message whenever im spam farming so i just bought a bunch and figured ill use it eventually
It's one of the best things to spend gems on, you're good.
If you got a third dorm slot and the 2nd floor of the dorm unlocked too, you're more than good.
I see I was wondering if I should craft a special augment for her. Like Peter strausers. That sounded kinda op
How do I do that?
i bought all of the extra slot things although i think im already realizing i did not need the extra skill training slots so rip 1100 gems
Special augments are unique to the character, not every character has one. To my knowledge, Aquila does not.
Its awesome tbh.
I messed up some gems earlier on before I realized just how scarce they are in this game
Oof. Well at least you can make it a long term goal to max skill everyone?
So another CVs augment can't be used on a different CV then basically...
Play the game enough to get 1000 of those affection points that are dropping at the end of every stage.
Another ship's* augment cannot be used on a different ship. Can't even use Laffey's augment on Laffey 2.
How do I check how many I have? And should I farm the second stage if I can do it?
Look at "The Fox Spirit's Retreat" under the left event portrait in the top right of the home screen.
And yeah probably. At least enough to get the useful stuff like cogs, gear, the shop ship, etc.
in the event 2 weeks ago when my ships were still like level 30-40 i just farmed the first stage over and over till i hit 10k currency for the free ship, not sure if that's what is recommended for new players but its what i did 
If you aren't at stage 9 yet but can complete SP4 cosplayer I think you can use that as an oil cap farming stage.
Should I use High Efficiency Logistic Plans and turn on 2x Oil Consumption? Or do neither of those affect how much Trust you gain?
Also start akashis mission by pressing her 30 times in the shop. Just found out this was a thing xD
Wonder if there are any other "secret" missions
Okay.
Eh, doesn't matter. Doubles the consumption and the reward so it's just running two fights at once.
What do the Logistic Plans even do?
High efficiency logistic plan turns on the 2x oil consumption. And will double the trust gained. But I'd advise if possible try to clear SP4 of the event first...
I'm a beginner.
I can probably do SP2 but barely.
Exactly as I said, doubles the costs of running the stage (oil, morale) and doubles the rewards from running the stage (xp, coin, drops).
You can't turn on 2x Oil Consumption without Logistics?
Nope.
Still got 7 or 8 days. I got from being unable to do sp4 and barely sp3 a few days ago to being able to 1:1 sp4.
Just read some guide and build the right ships from your dock.
I'd have to use a lot of those EXP book things to level my fleet.
what ships are you using for 1:1? I didn't think about saving oil that way
I used an aquila and a duca...
Aquila is op š„²
I don't use it as a 1:1 tho now just using it to level myself to 65+
Because 1:1ing a oil cap stage is.. pointless
This is a good fleet?
oh does 1:1 not go lower than the cap?
i think put shizuku on the gold square
uhh
i think so still? someone else might have to chime in but i think the CV being on the side doesnt matter as much as the BB bc of how BBs aim or something i think?
i atleast dont think there is any downside to it even if there isnt much gain
I don't know terms.
What's a CV and a BB?
Carrier and Battleship.
I thought so, why is it double B though? That confused me.
BB is battleship and CV is carrier, shizuku is a BB and the pink hair woman is a CV
I see.
Fleet's fine enough, just swap Shizuku and Elise.
@viscid swift this is slightly correct right? BB as the flagship so it has an easier time shooting things like suicide boats
Oh that'd be nice if she can kill those. Suicide boats are impossible to kill. So are other planes. Idk what to do about them.
Yes.
You might want to give that a read.

A progression guide for new and returning players, including how to farm ship levels, farm player levels, choose and enhance gear, and manage resources. Also covers fleet compositions by position and role for clearing Chapters 1 through 13.
dang you got all the resources, you are the goat
Limit breaking Shizuku (which is best done with her dupes in her unique case) twice will greatly improve her secondary guns, which will help shoot down any suicide boats that make it past the vanguard.
I read this already.
I'll highlight this section then.
Should I aim for her dupes as well? If so I'm pretty sure I would have to level them up.
You Shizuku is off flag, 0 limit break so she only has one aux gun mount, and I'd wager probably not using the best aux gun either.
Why level her dupes? Just use them to limit break her.
You'll get them passively just by playing.
Not.. not her dupes.
I meant my fleet. Apologies, it does sound like I was referring to her dupes.
Is aux gun the secondary gun?
Yes.
No, it is not slightly correct. It is very correct.
The game calls it an aux gun; in naval circles, they're called secondary guns.
And yes, you'd want to level your fleet regardless tbh. Hell, might end up using some bulins on Shizuku because waiting for 2k/3k/whateverk affection is gonna suck.
Yeah I was gonna ask if I should do that, but, I'd rather use them on Elise.
Should I use my EXP things, then?
Use at least one bulin on shizuku now, it'll help you clear SP2 earlier and safer
Eh, save them for when you need to level a new ship imo.
^^ you will mlb her eventually anyways and you have to spend 1 bulin to do so cause event only gives 4 total (sorry sushi meant to turn off reply ping)
Getting to 4000 hearts might be hard for new player so you could even use a second bulin now
Will save you the trouble of having to bring them up to par.
Okay.
I won't be able to beat SP3 or 4.
Ah.
You have any other SRs btw?
I'm not used to Gachas where mission completion actually gives substantial EXP.
No, just Shizuku and Elise.
I feel that, AL's a bit of an outlier in that regard.
Hell, I think every other gacha I've played is more like Limbus, giving a little bit of exp if at all for stage clear and relying primarily on tickets.
Guess my dumbass was lucky to pull an aquila.
It's odd though because I swear it didn't used to be the case until all of a sudden a whole bunch of games took that away and replaced it with EXP items consumption. Maybe everything's blurring together in my mind, though.
I've been playing Gacha games for probably a decade at this point.
But I digress.
Are you from the FGO server? I feel as though I recognize you.
Ohhh, I see. Alright.
Is laffey 2 (3 Stars) better than laffey (Full LB)?
In some cases yes but for most content like event or opsi, no
A level 1 laffii paired with Cowpens and/or zuihou can tank a lot of things while sacrificing vanguard damage and AA
Vanguards end up dying with this lineup
Is that normal or hard
Should I destroy all of the ships or just go to the flagship once it appears?
Always rush boss unless you're trying to do the third star
And you should do the third star when your fleet is more capable
Okay. 
If it's normal difficulty then there's not much you can do besides better gear. Vanguards DPS is especially important in this boss
Normal
on clear mode does all enemies mean all escorts gone then boss or enough escorts then boss
For normal campaign stages and D/B event stages, it enforces oil cap
For hard campaign stages, it clears out all the escorts and only spawns the boss
so i have to manually do all the escorts
What
Are you doing 3*? Then ofc you'll have to manual to get the star for killing all enemies
for the star yes
What do I do about "Exhausted"?
why is 9-4 specifically only one round to 100% but needs 40 escorts to get 3 stars
Touch grass and come back in a few hours
40?
i think it was 40
Also it's 4 battles to 100% 9-4 not 1
What.. it didn't even take that long.
That's irritatin'.
i only did one
Unless wiki is outdated and somehow it got updated to only require 1 run, but I doubt it
h u h
Are you sure you're not confusing yourself with event stages
campaign is never 1 run on the higher one, only events is 1 run
how many mobs spawn
i swear
You can use this and the dorm , but that doesn't work for NPC Shizuku
must be a bug since i started grinding the escorts less than 20 mobs and i was already done with 9-4
Ah, okay.
It isn't. These maps in the past required more than one clear to 100%. 3-4 was the norm.
But we hate doing that
yes however i 100% it with one run though
Yeah, that's how it is now.
ohhhhh
The wiki is wrong.
I have no idea.

its not just 9-4
wiki just hold the old numbers need for 100% clear and no one updated it when they reduced it to 1
wait theres other stages that only needs 1 boss battle?
Everything below chp9
so everything below chp9 then 9-4 but not 9-1 9-2 9-3
All of chapter 9 takes one clear to 100%.
if any green name wants to fix the wiki, i'm too lazy to check and edit every page
ALL normal chapter 1 to 9 takes 1 clear

weird
so if i was already in progress before and not my first run it would continue to the original amount of boss clears?
I'm not sure, maybe.
that feeling when most of your commissions end 10 minutes into the start of maintenance 
I swear JP has the worst maint time frame of all regions
upcoming DOA banner is just rerun of old girls right?
Yes
thanks
~~Too lazy to fix
