you really are a psychopath

[nocturne magnet]

is it that hard to get a washing machine in research? i get way more hpfc than those washing machines

[wind hazel]

no but it's just random and you have no control over it

[astral raptor]

https://tenor.com/view/pandlrg-pandlr-zonegif-stantwitter-stan-twitter-gif-3343393934203947180

[nocturne magnet]

thanks best way to farm those is probably to get those 30mins research

[rapid shard]

-# techincally you can farm the NJ war archive for them but it is not reccomended since drop rates are really bad

[nocturne magnet]

maybe not i'd probably wasting a lot of oil.. surely when im out of options

[wind hazel]

no, just keep doing your research over time, no need to worry over it. youll get them when you get them

though you should try to take those 30mins researches, if there's any

i have more washing machine bps, for what it is worth

[nocturne magnet]

oh damn

pls end it here

[rapid shard]

There is a non zero chance of them rerunning the collab in the future. not all of them get reruns but some do. all you can do is hope

[wind hazel]

considering there's still DAL being released etc, and many characters not used, chance is higher than usual tbh

[astral raptor]

Actually, yes I'll end it here, right now

Kurumi is the free char if you login for the whole event, but j left the game before that sadly sigh

[hollow gust]

🤡

[wind hazel]

if i used 200ap to enter stronghold i can still go back into it even if i go into another secured zone right?

🫃🏼 accidentally opened all 50ap box fuck me

[viscid swift]

How did you manage that.

[wind hazel]

clicked the wrong one 💀

[gusty yarrow]

whats the priority to get gear in the thingy shop, the one with prototype cores
looks like blueprints

[wind hazel]

/protocore

[odd root]

Protocore Guides

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

[wind hazel]

minus 1 gold AP gun for every meck gun you own

if you're close to 1, like 40bp+, consider it as one

[gusty yarrow]

im gonna be honest i just wanted a gun for musashi

[rapid shard]

Purple 410Kai then

[sweet delta]

If I had 1 Meck gun for every 40 Meck gun BP I got, I'd have 6 Meck guns

If you need a gun for her to use against heavium bosses, then you can buy the series 7 twin 410

[runic bluff]

um is there any reason to buy the old DoA augments?

[sweet delta]

To get the old DoA augments

[runic bluff]

so I can just skip them if I have it already then......

dunno if I should buy the gear enhancement stuffs

[sweet delta]

The duplicate augments give 2 augment cores

[crisp estuary]

Wait, what's a good adaptive tuning threshold to take on regular strongholds again? I used to do it on higher stats than this but the month has been busy and I am never buying the stats

[vale spindle]

188/188/144

but if you have enough rainbows to brute force you don't have to go that high

[cloud fractal]

For farming event currency, is it better to farm (using this event for example) SP4. Or do you get 5x the event currency listed in the rewards section on SP3? I’ve never been super clear on how this works.

[onyx flame]

for rerun event you typically can get by with just doing all the daily bonus and sp ofc
you can check pins for the calc specifically for this event

[cloud fractal]

Discounting the fact that it’s a rerun, is there a general rule of thumb?

Thanks for pointing me towards the calculator, btw!

[onyx flame]

typically you just farm the last stage of event
for rerun the points need is lesser so with the daily bonus and missions you dont have to farm the last stage specifically unless there other stuff you want from the event shop

[agile pewter]

Is it better to run fire extinguisher or some eva gear for main fleet if I'm dying to BB shelling

I assume two defensive aux isn't good?

[whole crypt]

is this ch14/16

two defensive aux for main fleet isn't great in general but at the end of the day it's whatever wins the stage for you

[gusty yarrow]

what do i even do w these

[muted wind]

are those all dupes?

[whole crypt]

bulins use to LB ships
dupes of ships you're not using/not going to raise/already maxed just scrap

[gusty yarrow]

except for monica, hermion albion and little illustrious

my dock feels full

wayy too full

[whole crypt]

that's because you need to buy space

[gusty yarrow]

i dont got gems

[whole crypt]

that's how it works

[crystal ore]

Have you check out dock space in club store? You can buy it for more

Incase you got too many, and not having any ship to MLB. Then scrap some of them. Idealistically, keep around 8 purples bulins and 4 gold bulins tho

[ancient tulip]

How do I get gear for this type of ships?my gear kinda homeless for her :,,,,(

[muted wind]

you... uh... wait for the next tempesta event apparently. the small guns are in the core shop, but i don't think you can get the big gun

[onyx flame]

it can be farmed but it aint worth it

[ancient tulip]

:,,,,,,,v

Welp thx for info

[muted wind]

i don't think it even drops in the tempesta event that's already in war archives.

the recommended auxiliary gear is also in the core shop for that matter. honestly may be a better idea to just upgrade a BB instead still

[onyx flame]

oh yea big gun is event shop only so

[ancient tulip]

For the core currency how do I farm it pls hol on

[onyx flame]

hard stage, higher chp give more

[muted wind]

campaign hard mode, do the highest chapter you can. you unlock hard modes by 3*-ing the whole chapter.

[ancient tulip]

Ah I see

[muted wind]

-# either way, come back around halloween for martinho's gear

[ancient tulip]

Also more questions for the gun this one right?

[ancient tulip]

What is martinho?

[muted wind]

that would be the secondary, yes, but that's... not useful if you don't have a good main gun

[ancient tulip]

:,,,,,v

[muted wind]

the ship you asked about

[ancient tulip]

So which gear I can farm/obtain first for her?

She is so gearless :,,,,(

[muted wind]

nothing. time to upgrade a different ship until the next tempesta event.

[onyx flame]

that just the fate of tempesta ships if you werent around for their event you wont have gear for them

[ancient tulip]

Sad thx

[muted wind]

-# tbf they're not even particularly good in the best case anyways

[agile pewter]

Ch10 I'm newb

Is it level issue then

[whole crypt]

level, LB, gearing overall
if you want your fleet checked you can start a thread and post it there

[agile pewter]

Hmm I can probably wait for levels thanks though

[whole crypt]

level advantage starts waning around those levels, you'll need to fix your fleet eventually anyway if it's not just levels that's your problem

[crystal ore]

I didn'tt know i hitt the point cap who should I exchange?

I can get shinano and get her to MLB tho

Or maybe musashi?

[runic bluff]

dunno if I get an answer for it yet, is this used?

[whole crypt]

how far from MLB is Shinano and do you have other good carriers, Musashi is likely still a better option

[whole crypt]

G7ek is fairly good, but I wouldn't exchange for torp designs to make it

[runic bluff]

so those red torps still to go for SS?

[crystal ore]

This, I still have the letter tho

[whole crypt]

yeh just take Musashi

[muted wind]

i mean, that would be mlb shinano? it would take a hot minute before they can mlb musashi

[whole crypt]

Shinano still 20 levels short of MLB and what is he even going to do with Shinano alone for CV

[muted wind]

-# levels seem easy to fix and musashi won't do much at 0lb either tbf

[whole crypt]

I just don't see maxing out Shinano doing very much for him either with what he has now

[muted wind]

probably still better than a ship he won't be using for at least 2 months (probably more considering CN anni and possibly alsace rerun). shinano is not exactly useless for general use.

[flint arrow]

Is DOA the only collab that had a rerun?

[whole crypt]

SSSS did, as did Ryza

[flint arrow]

Oh cool so hope is not lost for date a live rerunning

[muted wind]

i'd keep my hopes low. best to keep them at 0 honestly

[whole crypt]

well I think we'll need to see his BB lineup too for the final answer, Musashi partially LB'd is still better than a lot of other ones

[whole crypt]

generally the expectation is no rerun
those that did are more the exception than the norm
that DOA is rerunning for the second time is even less likely to ever happen again

I'm not sure what DOA is selling this time but most of the time a collab rerun happens it's because the other end is selling something new

[muted wind]

... actually, also fair.

[muted wind]

-# frankly confused on that too because the DOA collabs were technically with its gacha game every time?

[whole crypt]

last time was with some anniversary shit on DOAXVV if I remember correctly, chances are they're adding some new shit again recently

[flint arrow]

New dal season is coming at some point, so that it's an opportunity for a rerun

[whole crypt]

I'm not saying it can't happen, it's just not really likely
I still hope for imas collab 2 till this day

[crystal ore]

So in short

Should I get shinano or Musashi?

[muted wind]

uh, i guess show your BBs too?

[rapid grail]

maint this week removing both collab events?

[muted wind]

they should be up for another day after the maintenance

[crystal ore]

And here is my BB

[muted wind]

with soyuz, i'd lean slightly towards shinano mlb. but i'm not sure if it's really a big difference either, pick what you prefer?

[balmy skiff]

does that mean Neptunia will be the likelier IP to rerun this year after DoA pt3? (they got a mainline after 10 whole years of spin off hell)

[muted wind]

-# bro please you've brought this up a million times already we have no idea

[wind hazel]

neptunia will rerun this year, then azur lane will end of service

[muted wind]

finally, freedom

[balmy skiff]

you thought Neptunia was Persona 5,eh?

[whole crypt]

I wish, Nep is the only in-game trophy I'm missing

[muted wind]

no but really, this probably depends more on what compile heart/idea factory wants than what manjuu wants. they do still sell azur lane merch, so i'm not gonna say zero chance, but i'd really keep my hopes low.

[wind hazel]

i hope it never rerun so that planeptunia will ask this for a million time again

[sacred yoke]

so many good bb

[balmy skiff]

just tell me you want senran instead of nep just to fuck my retirement dreams up...

[muted wind]

nothing would stop them from rerunning both

[nocturne magnet]

should i always request recon in OpSi?

[onyx flame]

when it off cost yea sure its free

[crystal ore]

An UR is only strong when you MLB her right?

[onyx flame]

yes, there are some exception

[nocturne magnet]

just to clarify, morale and oil wont be spent or go down in OpSi right?

[crystal ore]

So Should I get shinano to MLB or get Musashi?

[onyx flame]

musashi

[crystal ore]

FYI. My shinano only need 1 more to MLB tho

[onyx flame]

if your refering to perma pity i would still rather musashi

shinano on her own is somewhat lackluster

[crystal ore]

Ok

[kindred oracle]

Hi, for Operation Siren, do I try to increase my adaptive tuning as much as possible or is there cap on its benefit? Specifically asking for Hard Arbiter.

[wind hazel]

anything above 203/203/156 become useless

[kindred oracle]

I know gear is super important, but any ideas on which fleets I should be running for this Arbiter? I don't have most PR ships maxed except for Plymouth, Agir and Hakyryuu. I have most URs, but some potentially relevant ships I'm missing are William D. Porter, Georgia, Eldridge.

[wind hazel]

any anti light fleet will trash it

you can dump any UR BB with z52 traf ply and it will die like an ant

[nocturne magnet]

is slaimuda still good to use for gear reference?

[crystal ore]

which map of siren is good for farming gold materials?

[wind hazel]

use regal

[regal flax]

What do i do with dupes of ship i already got to lvl 3 limit break?
what gear should i prioritize crafting?

[forest palm]

if you have dupes of a MLB ships, you just burn the dupes

[nocturne glade]

Is Fritz/Lion/BisZwei Z52/Traf/Ply enough for this months harbiter?

I have Hvars for Fritz

[tulip tinsel]

probably

[soft raft]

For all intents and purposes, ECTL is basically dead now

[viscid swift]

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

[flint arrow]

W15 and w16 doable without these? (No essex retro either)

[tulip tinsel]

yea

[undone plover]

Should be doable
Check out the tierlist and ch15/16 guides

Pick alternatives for the stuff u are missing

Make a thread if u are not sure and show your dock
Tho I recommend u give those guides a read first and cook up your own fleets and then come back to ask for tweaks

[regal flax]

what do i get for interacting with the island planner? im not really a fan of it

[viscid swift]

Nothing pertaining to the main game.

[frosty cargo]

You get a little bit of gem from doing tedious tasks

[hidden knot]

How do I get good

[undone plover]

reading guides and asking questions

[novel sequoia]

Hi

[deep cypress]

Do we think Alsace will rerun before or after CN anni?

[tulip tinsel]

[viscid swift]

I'd wager after, I rather doubt they're gonna chain 3 reruns in a row.

[deep cypress]

Makes sense.

[viscid swift]

Oh hey they're making Marseille permenant.

[slow oxide]

Who should I get from Medals considering my team?

[sweet delta]

Buy Enterprise and Kazagumo now, leave for second fleet when you're ready for a second fleet. Good to also buy spec core but you're broke

[slow oxide]

Alright.

Why is passive oil gain so slow? Am I missing something?

[viscid swift]

Well oil is this game's stamina.

And you're still relatuvely new so your canteen isn't maxed yet.

[slow oxide]

I've been at under 2k for like 3 days now.

I'm so close to Shizukus last dupe.

[viscid swift]

Where have you been grinding.

But under 2k for 3 days, if you've been grinding heavily and in non oil capped maps, that's not suprising.

[still knot]

Who's next?

[viscid swift]

Yorktown 2.

[still knot]

k

[slow oxide]

SP3 Event.

[viscid swift]

Farming that map with that fleet, I'm not suprised.

Take it down to a 2:2 or even a 1:1 fleet.

[slow oxide]

Huh?

What is a 2:2 and a 1:1.

[viscid swift]

number of main fleets : number of vanguards

[slow oxide]

Ah.

[still knot]

should i max star/limit break guam?

[slow oxide]

I didn't know that affected it, damn.

[viscid swift]

With the CN Anni next month I'd hold off.

[slow oxide]

Could've farmed so much better.

[still knot]

kk

[viscid swift]

Well yeah, each ship costs oil.

The more ships you bring, the more oil you use unless the map has an oil cap.

[slow oxide]

I didn't know the stamina mechanic was extra.

I thought it was just fixed like other games.

[viscid swift]

It probably makes more sense from a naval history perspective.

[slow oxide]

Right, makes sense.

[wispy creek]

do all (noncollab) ships give fleet tech?

[viscid swift]

Nope, little ships and muse ships don't.

[burnt sentinel]

Hi is it possible to currently get Albion or is she a limited character?

I’m new to the game and wanted to see if I can get any of the characters for the new vacation event

[soft raft]

She's been permanently added for quite a while

[burnt sentinel]

How do I go about getting her?

I’m sorry I’ve prolly played the game for about an hour in total

Ngl there’s so much it became overwhelming haha

[soft raft]

Either special banner (extremely not recommended) or a event banner that uses the special banner to fill out its poop

[burnt sentinel]

Which banner would that be currently?

[soft raft]

Give these guides a read if you havent already
https://www.azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide

[burnt sentinel]

Thank u!

Is there a way to see what characters other than the rate ups r included in a banner?

[deft kettle]

Guys is agir a mob tank or a boss tank?

[soft raft]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Building#Permanent_Construction

[soft raft]

She can do both, but most of the time she's in Boss

[deft kettle]

perfect

[burnt sentinel]

So if I want a chance at Albion I have to pull from a banner labeled special?

I skimmed a bit through the second link

But currently it’s only the standard banner labeled as that so it’s a bit poopoo

[soft raft]

Not exactly
Every event banner either uses the heavy or special banners for their banner pool

This is why it's strongly not recommend to pull on the standalone heavy/special banners

[onyx flame]

if you really want albion wait till cn anni for wishing well but i wouldnt go out of my way to collect her

[soft raft]

You can also pray that a free selector will have her as a option in the future

[burnt sentinel]

Is it possible to get the limited skin rn and hold onto it till the future when I get her?

[soft raft]

Yes

There is nothing stopping you from buying a skin for a character you don't own

[onyx flame]

~~my wallet ~~

[burnt sentinel]

Ooo how do I do that cause I can’t seem to find the skin anywhere?

[soft raft]

What commander level are you

Is it below lvl 15?

If it is, that's why you can't see it

[onyx flame]

which skin for albion are you looking for cause most are in perma alr, unless it the tulipa event one

[burnt sentinel]

Ooo I am low commander level

[ivory pawn]

If you mean the lingerie skin, it’ll be added into the shop for a limited time after maintenance.

[burnt sentinel]

I want the home relaxation one

[ivory pawn]

Yes, that one. It will be back in shop after the maintenance in about a day and a half.

[burnt sentinel]

Ah okay it’s not in shop rn?

[ivory pawn]

Correct.

[burnt sentinel]

I guess I’ll use that time to hit commander 15 hope it isn’t too hard

[onyx flame]

that like free

[cobalt robin]

the rerun has 2 ex stages ?

[weary edge]

is skyraider coming to gear lab next gearlab update? and will that update be around cn anni?

[ivory pawn]

I certainly hope so, and iirc they said June/Dec for future Lab updates so maybe depending on timing.

[weary edge]

am i better off crafting a wyvern first

[ivory pawn]

Yes.

[cloud tangle]

for tankyness just get the vanguards to 120 right?

[ivory pawn]

It'll help a lot. Make sure you're giving them good Aux gears too.

[cloud tangle]

ig i forgot something

[viscid swift]

Not really.

[forest palm]

Portland's skills are useless

[hollow hollow]

Is the welfare fox actually pretty dece

[ivory pawn]

Decent, sure. Good for a rookie. Suffers the same as every other only decent SR BB once you have a few UR BBs.

[clear harbor]

Welfare Fox?

[ivory pawn]

Shizuku.

[timid beacon]

No waaay I hope it’s cheap… (hopefully no t0 ordinance)

[agile pewter]

Is portland or yukikaze the better tank? The ehp chart says that yukikaze should perform better but she dies before the rest of my vanguard

If it helps I'm using blue rudder and naval camouflage for both

[viscid swift]

Well that would be your first issue.

https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/166

The other would be if you're using her unique augment.

[agile pewter]

Thank you

[stray crane]

how many UR torp aux do i need 3 ?

[nocturne magnet]

Who's the best to get here?

[viscid swift]

Kazagumo

[soft raft]

In terms of pratical usage, maybe like at most 2
but you'll never be using it outside of being a stat stick for OpSi

[brisk dragon]

collab ending in 30-ish hours?

[viscid swift]

54 more like.

[brisk dragon]

oh ends in friday?

[forest palm]

4/17 ~ 5/1

[burnt sentinel]

Hellooo I was wondering how exactly the pity system works in the banners? Like at what point do u hit soft pity and at what point are u guaranteed a hit?

I’m wondering if I should save my cubes or just use them

Also would the pity be the same for the three current banner or is it different for each?

[forest palm]

it's more of a sparking system, the one you're seeing right now is just for the Perm Pool, which let's you select from the currently available permanent URs. There is another sparking system for UR events specifically, and it doesn't carry over

[burnt sentinel]

Are the event banners permanent URS?

[forest palm]

other than event banners, nothing shown on Light, Heavy, or Special is on rate up

[burnt sentinel]

So does the event banners use sparking system?

[forest palm]

only UR event banners

[burnt sentinel]

Then what do the regular event banners use?

[forest palm]

it's for the permanent UR pool

[burnt sentinel]

So the current even banners and the permanent banners (which I’m assuming r the ones labeled light heavy and special) all share the same pity?

[soft raft]

Event URs have their own sepreate pity on their banner
Meanwhile all non-UR events count towards a permament pity you can redeem for a permament UR

[burnt sentinel]

Gotcha so what’s like the number ur guaranteed a hit? Like in genshin impact it was 90 pulls

[soft raft]

The same as event UR pity, 400 cubes/200 pulls

[burnt sentinel]

O damn so ur guaranteed a banner rate up character at 200?

[soft raft]

You can redeem the points for one yes

[burnt sentinel]

Damn 200 for a super rare is crazy lol

[soft raft]

Note that you have to use it up first before you can start building up pity again

[forest palm]

you aren't getting an SSR...

[burnt sentinel]

A what?

Sorry I literally started the game today so I’m still learning haven’t gotten a chance to read the guide yet

[forest palm]

right, EN Local made it SR, anyway it's a UR

[viscid swift]

Pity only exists for Ultra Rares.

Other rarities don't get a pity period.

[burnt sentinel]

So I’m looking at the banner right now and non of the banner characters are an ultra rare tho

[viscid swift]

Yeah, there is no pity for them.

[burnt sentinel]

I see so banner characters don’t have a pity unless they are a UR

[viscid swift]

Correct.

[slow oxide]

How much longer until this event is over? As in I can't do the stages anymore.

[viscid swift]

54 or so hours.

[burnt sentinel]

Thank u for all ur guys help I really appreciate it!!!!

[forest palm]

till 5/1

[burnt sentinel]

I got like 6 cubes y’all thing it’s worth just dropping it on the banner? Or should I just save it

[slow oxide]

Dude at this rate I'm not gonna have enough oil to get Shizukus last dupe, not even my fault.

[viscid swift]

Save for the CN Anni event in May.

[burnt sentinel]

Ah okay

[fleet marten]

Can anyone give a Good Sync for Medium/Heavy Comp for the Meck/Zwei/Lion fleet with only one Meck gun? Like in what order should it be? Considering I have other decent BB guns within its caliber like Soyuz/Champy/Flandre Gun

[burnt sentinel]

I ended up getting a elite character today

[viscid swift]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRoWrXQTUjS4fiSn4LlHgGrSaMnwLmRRAu3SoZCx_pAfRhJPRj5_e6sJzJa8k0ihikxHO_XLpvLIMva/pub

I haven't finished this guide yet, but all the stuff on pulling and scheduling is more or less done.

[burnt sentinel]

I got Monica is she any good?

[viscid swift]

No.

[burnt sentinel]

Oof

[viscid swift]

It's your first event, I wouldnt expect to get everything from it.

[soft raft]

Elites are pretty garbage the majority of the time
especially when they're half a decade old by this point

[fleet marten]

No Raffaelo Gun here unfortunately

[viscid swift]

And using one more Bulin won't kill you.

[slow oxide]

I did the math I think I will. I'm 3.8k/4k.

I'm impatient though I wanna MLB her.

So I might use that 2x thingie. Or wait is it 3x?

[burnt sentinel]

For limite breaking do u need the same copy of the same character?

[viscid swift]

You can use bulins.

[soft raft]

no

[slow oxide]

I THINK ITS 3X. I CAN MLB HER AS WE SPEAK.

[viscid swift]

Again might wanna give the Newbie Tips and Progression guide a read.

[soft raft]

^

[viscid swift]

It's x2.

[soft raft]

I already gave him those earlier today as well

[burnt sentinel]

I will one day. I have boards coming up so my breaks are very limited😭😭😭😭

[viscid swift]

And you double your oil and morae drain.

[slow oxide]

Faaah..

[viscid swift]

AP tests? Good luck.

[burnt sentinel]

lol nah more like grad school national exam lol

[viscid swift]

Ah, still, best of luck all the same.

[burnt sentinel]

Haha thank u

I’m gonna take a in-depth look at the guide once my boards done.

But for now I’ll just save my cubes

[fleet marten]

Or just simply in which order should these Fleet fire first? Mecklenburg-Lion-Zwei?

[viscid swift]

With BBs a lot of the time you just kinda have to accept what order they fire in because there's not as much room for fine tuning.

[fleet marten]

I do have a hard time analyzing how to sync them, especially when Zwei and Meck have a +15% RLD buff, so that guarantees at least to have Lion an Admiralty table?

or just a Reloader?

[viscid swift]

I personally wouldn't given the damage loss.

If this is for a META showdown, as long as all of them get off 4 salvos you're most of the way there.

There's also Lars' calculator if you wanna fiddle around with timings.

[fleet marten]

Yeah, was using this one but having a hard time to sync them, but thanks

[fleet marten]

Mhmm, this is Repulse Meta is what I am tackling

[viscid swift]

Pretty brute forceable these days,

[fleet marten]

But is it true that its still Slightly RNG even I can one shot it, while having a point that either Repulse/Renown Meta can one shot my Fleet before I do, and this is with Eld Meta

[exotic sorrel]

I have 5 UR bulins I think in the upcoming event of New Urs I can probably get 2 mlb Urs

[viscid swift]

What vanguard are you using?

[exotic sorrel]

Would that be a good idea?

[viscid swift]

MLB what 2 URs.

[exotic sorrel]

The upcoming new ones I'm saving gor

[fleet marten]

Agir-Unzen-Eldridge Retro

[exotic sorrel]

Assuming they're good ig...

[viscid swift]

We have no idea what they are, what they'll do, and how good they'll be at it.

[viscid swift]

Try Helena instead of Unzen.

[fleet marten]

Necessary Evil then

[brisk dragon]

is there any reason i shouldn't farm sp4?

[silk sphinx]

no, that's really the only stage you should be farming )plus the SP stage

of course, given it's only ~150 oil a pop it might be too slow for you

[sweet delta]

But Helena has 0 torps

[sweet delta]

When you fail, do you fail because the vanguard died, flagship died, or just not enough damage from 4 salvos?

[fleet marten]

When the Vanguard Died, I went for Eldridge Retro, so this is fine

So I assume its the latter, since there are times I one shot them and for my 14 tries, I one shotted her by like 4 times while the rest either either resulted to my Main Fleet dying or an unlucky No Eld RNG Proc

Also I noticed if I failed to kill her buff timer, she deals a lot of dmg, but if I succeed, she becomes too durable to kill, which kinda is annoying

[loud delta]

How can I won level 14-5 what should I do

[viscid swift]

You can start by giving this a read.

[loud delta]

Thx u

[rapid tusk]

Main fleet getting wiped quickly in boss fight for 13-1

[soft raft]

You do not have enough AA for that fleet to do both mob and boss 💀

[rapid tusk]

How should I improve AA?

[soft raft]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide#chapter-13

[kindred oracle]

When I go into the portal thing in Operation siren, it takes me to "Hard - Arbiter (Practice)". Does this mean I've already done it or am I doing something wrong?

[soft raft]

Also i really really hope you're not trying to single fleet W13
Tho it unfortunately sounds like it

[rapid tusk]

Nah I wasn't but got further with this setup for first fleet

[soft raft]

you have to do three practive fights to actually unlock the real fight

Then every month after that you can unlock a hard difficulty version after killing the normal one, and after you beat hard you can go back and fight it if you want (but there's no real incentive to besides testing one-shot setups)

[kindred oracle]

Ahhh, so I have to beat the practice version a bunch, okay thanks!

[soft raft]

Three practice fights as in you fight each of the three different arbiters, not beat the same one multiple times

[kindred oracle]

As in I have wait until reset for Arbiters to change? Because I've entered twice in a row now and it still gives me the Temperance XIV "Hard - Arbiter (Practice)" fight.

[soft raft]

What
Have you actually beat that practice fight yet or did you already beat the actual hard arbiter fight for the month?

Granted it's been a while since I did opsi, but iirc you do the practice arbiter fights as a mission chain before unlocking the real thing

[kindred oracle]

I am beating the practice fights, but I honestly don't know if I've done the actual fight lol. I think (?) this would be my first time doing it. Usually I just do normal arbiter and leave. This time wanted to do what I thought was hard arbiter, but I don't think I got any rewards, so it was probably a "(practice)" run.

[rapid tusk]

Any suggestions for 13-1?

[viscid swift]

Have you given this a read.
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/#chapter-13

[sweet delta]

If you see this then you already did normal and hard arbiter

[kindred oracle]

Oh nice, okay thanks! Love your tier list btw, incredible work!

[rapid tusk]

Ah looks like I need to get my ships to 115 minimum

[sweet delta]

Put better ships like Cowpens and idk instead of shit 3* or 4* like Lexii and William

[rapid tusk]

Is there a website to check ship ranking or something?

[sweet delta]

/tierlist but it's not about the ranking but the limit breaks

[odd root]

[sweet delta]

0 or 1 limit break is automatically bad no matter if the ship is SSS tier

[soft raft]

tfw I gave him the same exact link and he evidently read none of it 💀

[rapid tusk]

Should I filter by Multi-Wave Campaign?

[sweet delta]

Reading the progression guide that was linked at least twice would help

[soft raft]

[fleet marten]

How good are the Auxiliaries in the current Event?

[viscid swift]

Check the 3rd pinned message.

[sick kettle]

what kind of fleet does wdp mostly fit in?

[viscid swift]

You build fleets around content and not ships.

[wind island]

I have her in my Light/Medium Eagle Union fleet, her niche is basically stated explicitly in her skills.

[viscid swift]

I mean not really.

She's strong in that role but she's far from locked to it.

[vivid bay]

is it worth it to 120 all normal and rare ships for F2P or should i just retire them at 70 or 100? for dock space?

[sweet delta]

Many normal and rare ships are worth to 120

[vivid bay]

ooooof RIP my dock space

[timid beacon]

Is the normal arbiter always the same? Or does it change

[fleet marten]

It changes per month, and next month is Strength (Medium Armor)

[slow oxide]

I have all of Shizukus dupes, what should I do now?

[whole crypt]

use them to LB Shizuku

[wind island]

what 120 stats make a ship worth to 120? is it eva for vanguard and fp/avi/rld for main fleet?

[onyx flame]

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

[timid beacon]

Aye thanks a bunch I’ll remember that

[exotic sorrel]

Who's worth retrofitting more between Yuudachi and Eldridge? (I do have Eldridge's retro item)

[forest palm]

Eld

[slow oxide]

...
I know that. I'm asking what should I do. Should I keep doing the event? Should I do story?

[grave cove]

Not sure if this is the right chat. Does the event end on the 30th or the 1st?
Im a little confused since it started one day later than the usual and the skins timer has it ending in about 48 hours

[whole crypt]

if you have enough points you can go back to grinding main, if not just keep doing event

keep in mind between new event and rerun there's 2 shops and milestones

[slow oxide]

How many points is enough?
I didn't know about the rerun so I completely neglected it.

Way far behind in the rerun.

[whole crypt]

usually we say about 55k for the new event, rerun you can get away with around 35k

[onyx flame]

It ends when maint begin (you can check the discord event for the exact time) but the skin timer should also be accurate

[viscid swift]

No actually.

An event doesn't need a maintenance window to end.

The skins go away on the 30th but the event maps stick around for another day.

Don't ask me why.

[onyx flame]

Oh is it cause it started later than normal for this collab

[viscid swift]

Probably.

[grave cove]

Gotcha. Thanks guys!

[fleet marten]

While Analyzing Suchiguma's Regal Tier List, in the Main Fleet ships, I noticed if as a Solo Ship, the ships mentioned like Lion and Rumey are placed in Position 1 with Lion at Light, and Rumey at Medium.

If there are specific tiers like this, who is the 1st in Heavy armor? Just got really curious how you'd tier it like this.

[onyx flame]

Just filter it by heavy dmg and main fleet

Should be meck anyway

[tulip tinsel]

Meck

[whole crypt]

"as a solo" ship is basically never relevant though

<@&472236072743600148>

[atomic abyss]

Someone else who downloaded malware I see

[whole crypt]

Meck should rate around the top for heavy damage but there's often much more to it in practice

[quasi delta]

I just noticed that this one blue aircraft doesnt appear on disassemble screen. Is this intended?

the gun as well actually

[muted wind]

they're probably marked as valuable for some reason, you can still directly disassemble them. i know the gun is best for some purple ship due to skill requirements, but it's not a real concern (and even then you can still safely scrap all but 1)

[quasi delta]

that makes sense actually

[muted wind]

the blue FBA 19 being marked as such is still weird because there is a purple version

[quasi delta]

yea but iguess its fine to mark both if you dont have the purple ones for some reason

[atomic abyss]

Isn't that the Gangut gun or something

[quasi delta]

actually yes, just checked

[muted wind]

the gun, yeah. that one doesn't have a higher tier so it makes sense to mark it as valuable at least

[quasi delta]

its nice that they think about such details tho

[agile pewter]

The build tickets can still be used after next reset right

[muted wind]

yeah the event is up for... 2 more days?

[agile pewter]

That's great thanks

[onyx chasm]

When is the next UR coming?

[muted wind]

probably in a few weeks

[onyx chasm]

Hm

[onyx flame]

End may is the best guesstimate since its usually with cn anni

[fierce plinth]

is these fleet good enough for 14-3 and 14-4

[muted wind]

i'd question hindy (and honestly ägir because laffII could tank, and maybe perseus because a sub healer with more damage would be better) but as long as that mob fleet has enough ASW... it's probably fine.

[fierce plinth]

what about the boss fleet, and what changes you think i should make with mob fleet

[muted wind]

boss seems fine to me, assuming they're not equipped for anti light. mob... cowpens/aquila/volga/zuihou instead of perseus, and swap ägir/hindy for eldridge retro/z52/william if you have those.

[fierce plinth]

my aquila is only 101 and william is 113, im afraid they a bit low levell ,my z52 is not fully lb yet

[muted wind]

probably fine to keep it as is then

[hoary relic]

i have soyuz and yk 2 at 0lb, who should i mlb first

[muted wind]

what other URs do you have?

[hoary relic]

other URs are already mlb

[muted wind]

... well, what are they

[hoary relic]

give me a sec

dont mind i404, she has been like that for over half a year

[muted wind]

york2 to pair with lex2, william, and kear for anti-light, i'd say. soyuz doesn't really do anything interesting compared to the other BBs.

also may wanna work on dev30ing kear and nakhimov, but that's a separate concern

[hoary relic]

im working on gouden rn

[onyx flame]

I mean depending how many bulins they got i would also consider just holding to see what the new ur is

[hoary relic]

maybe nahk after her then kear

[muted wind]

ah yeah waiting for the new UR may be good too. do you have hvar fighters?

[hoary relic]

only 2

blame my luck for that

[muted wind]

hm. yeah may be worth just waiting. anti-med with bf 109g or la-9 is also fine but not quite as noteworthy then

[hushed sorrel]

is it possible to auto run 15-4?

i would like to get the ship drop but i dont see myself doing that manuelly

[muted wind]

if you don't struggle on manual, you can probably just get the stage to safe first and then auto it

but auto is totally doable either way, probably just a gear/fleet issue

[agile pewter]

Are there any decent and accessible cv other than unicorn and the one on the app icon

[muted wind]

independence, core shop

[agile pewter]

For campaigns and events

What about bb or other main fleet

I need to buy two more for another team

[hushed sorrel]

i fear thats true, well i make it safe first and try again.

[nocturne magnet]

saratoga

[regal flax]

what should i do with 1 and 2 star gear?

[atomic abyss]

White gear? Scrap them

[ocean trout]

https://twitter.com/AzurLane_EN/status/2049352983331188985 quick question , does that mean that social media login ( fb twitter etc) will not work anymore?

Dear Commander,

After the upcoming mandatory update, you will be able to log in to the game using your new Yostar Account. Please create your Yostar Account and link your game account in advance at the Account Center: https://t.co/e2yo048myQ. We also recommend saving screenshots

X · Apr 29, 2026, 5:00 AM

[muted wind]

if the social media account is linked to the yostar account, you can probably still log in with that. but make sure the game account is linked to the new yostar account system first

-# the screenshots only show a button for facebook and google, so i'm assuming the others aren't available for login in-game

[agile pewter]

Is york town or vestal good I got a lot of dupes from the event

[muted wind]

yorktown is okay if you really need another ship. vestal no.

[agile pewter]

Okay thank you

[fierce plinth]

can u clear w14 without sub fleet

[muted wind]

you don't really need subs for anything

[hollow depot]

guys should I exchange for implac

[onyx flame]

musashi is technically the highest prio in the perma pool

[fierce plinth]

is napoli best tank right now?

[wind hazel]

yes*

[iron hare]

What do i get if i buy a second copy of the event augments? Another copy of the augment, or just coins?

[wind hazel]

2 augment module

[iron hare]

The core, or the upgrade material?

[wind hazel]

core

[whole crypt]

best tank is whatever survives the role while offering the most damage/utility

[iron hare]

Still not worth it. Thanks 🙂

[wind hazel]

but it is...

it's not worth if you're not augment collector. if you are one it is definitely very worth it

[fierce plinth]

how to activate musashi guardian ship

[muted wind]

the damage reduction part is enabled if your airspace control is not terrible (bringing CVs at all is often enough) or she isn't the flagship. the damage redirection part is active while musashi is above 40% hp

[fierce plinth]

airspace not terrible as in air supermarcy?

[muted wind]

that works too. the phrasing on that skill is weird in particular because it's also active in battles where there isn't any airspace control (f.e. meta battles and operation siren)

[fierce plinth]

I have air supre and i put her flag, will it active cause i dont see enemies target her but my vanguard is taking damage alot, in mob btw

[muted wind]

While this ship is above 40.0% HP: grants the "Musashi's Guardianship" status to all your other Main Fleet ships

musashi only protects the main fleet, you need to keep the vanguard alive differently

the damage reduction (based on position/airspace control) is only for herself also

[fierce plinth]

Ohh

[wind hazel]

<@&460646206851252224> mr beaaaaaast

[peak fable]

the scam aside, is the DoA event ending tomorrow or the day after? it says it goes till the 1st, so im a bit confused cause the update is tomorrow.

[wind hazel]

1 more day

[onyx flame]

should be the 1st since the event started on a friday

[agile temple]

For UR exchange is it best to just get the same person until you MLB them?

[wind hazel]

for now yes

[agile temple]

until biszwei?

[wind hazel]

yes

zwei will get priority then, no matter which ur you have from the exchange

[fierce plinth]

im running agir as main tank william in middle laff2 sub tank but im getting difficult trying to keep them alive, im aiming for 3 stars but after few battle their health almost gone. IDK what the problem is.

[muted wind]

with 2 healers? sounds like a dps problem

[wind hazel]

dont use agir in mob lol

better off main tanking laffey2, use another ship instead of agir

[muted wind]

it sounded like the whole vanguard was somehow getting low to me, which would be even more concerning. if it's just ägir...

[wind hazel]

show fleet and gear

show feet

[undone plover]

16 mins scam still on
admins slacking

[wind hazel]

unpaid admins

[onyx flame]

time to ping mods instead

[wind hazel]

@inland shoal can you remove them? and forward to the reds for kick

[undone plover]

<@&472236072743600148> your turn

[atomic abyss]

Done

[wind hazel]

we need to duplicate you ender

[muted wind]

and the main fleet?

honestly, ägir isn't optimal but i did clear w14 on release with a less invested ägir in the same spot so it can't be that bad

[wind hazel]

use quad mag on laffey, level both wdp and her up to 125, if you wanna use agir, put torpedo bulge or another eva aux on her

i suggest to remove agir though, use shimanto or eldridge or something, it's better

[fierce plinth]

ok

do i need shimato full lvl10 skill

[muted wind]

also imo replace that eagle union repair thing on laffey with a depth charge. more consistent sub kills. and if laffII procs that, it's probably already over

[wind hazel]

ideally yes all lv10, lv125

what's your main fleet?

[exotic sorrel]

How many copies of Georgia gun do I need?

[muted wind]

please level the secondary on musashi, it actually matters for w14+

[onyx flame]

1 really or 2 at most iirc

[muted wind]

also just put parallel torpedo bombers on the CVs, like a barracuda is better than that for mobbing. ideally a wyvern or breguette though

[fierce plinth]

damn i forgot

[exotic sorrel]

Okay thanks I'll get two just to be comfortable

[wind hazel]

change the vit2 on unicorn to breguet/wyvern, +10 steam cata, use staag on musashi, +10 the 155kai, change the saiun to breguet/wyvern on aquila, need more level

[onyx flame]

ngl i wouldnt go out of my way to get a 2nd one

[exotic sorrel]

Why not

[wind hazel]

it's a mobbing gun

[exotic sorrel]

Oh makes sense... I'll just get the other priority ones then

[wind hazel]

you can use meck gun on your boss fleet

[exotic sorrel]

I also only have one bb in my mob fleet for campaign

[wind hazel]

or if you use musashi then same conclusion 1 georgia is all you need

[muted wind]

i have 6 georgia guns

[wind hazel]

this guy in pilica's georgia cult

[muted wind]

-# admittedly, having a couple more used to be useful, now it's meh. but even then 6 is overkill lmao

[wind hazel]

i only have 3

[muted wind]

yeah that seems more sane

[wind hazel]

i have 6 wyvern though

[muted wind]

same

[wind hazel]

how many +13?

[muted wind]

just one

[wind hazel]

[onyx flame]

+13 that +12

[wind hazel]

no plates

[muted wind]

dw i have my UR +13 plane budget spent via 2 skyraiders, 4 tenrais, and 4 la-9s instead

-# no i don't know why i +13ed a 4th tenrai either

[wind hazel]

ranger and saratoga dream team

[onyx flame]

i should +13 some planes maybe it time for hvars

[muted wind]

-# i +13ed 5 of those too

[onyx flame]

im considering it but i got no skyraider so my anti light kinda scuffed

[muted wind]

ah rest in pieces

[onyx flame]

skyraider gearlab may i beg

[gilded hare]

So after some weeks of playing this game I'm stuck on chapter 8, I can't do chapter 9 yet is locked behind commander level, what else can I do besides farm event?

[wind hazel]

war archives, PP or UU SP5

[gilded hare]

My Nelson is slowly done with her retrofit, my main fleet hasn't changed one bit, Unicorn and Saratoga..

[wind hazel]

or collect IB ships from div chessboard

if you can do D4 DC, it's better

[muted wind]

PP and UU SP5 have an oil cap too, so it's convenient if there's no event... that said, another rerun will start tomorrow after next maintenance so... back to more event grind

[gilded hare]

Is there any reason for me not to do the other war archives map for the gears? Over the SP 5 UU?

[onyx flame]

gear drop from maps are atrocious drop rates and not worth except for 1

[fierce plinth]

what gear should i use for shimanto

[gilded hare]

Alright then thank you!

[wind hazel]

https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/20029

[fierce plinth]

can i use barracuda instead breguea and wyvern i dont have thsoe

[wind hazel]

sure but ideally you go and buy breguet from shop. or craft a wyvern

if you wanna buy, do it now. next month which is few days later, you can buy another, which get you 2 breguet, very convenient

[muted wind]

the benefit of the breguet is AA, and wyvern is more damage and AA. if you can pad out the AA, it's whatever... and it seems like you got enough anyways

[fierce plinth]

didnt know i could get breguet from shop -)

[muted wind]

core shop to be exact

[fierce plinth]

does 13-4 better than 12-4 in exp

[exotic sorrel]

Why would you finish retrofitting Nelson first over Unicorn

[gilded hare]

Unicorn's already done though ?

[wind hazel]

yes, but at the same time no

[fierce plinth]

less gold?

[forest palm]

worse oil per xp gain

[wind hazel]

more gold. 13-4 is one of the best map for coin

[forest palm]

also good luck leveling on 13-4

[fierce plinth]

damn

[forest palm]

basically, 13-4 is worse XP per oil, and a lot less friendlier to leveling ships compared to 12-4. so, if you just want coin 13-4 is fine, but using it for XP is risky

[fierce plinth]

ok

is laff2 116lvl good enough to tank -)

prolly not

[muted wind]

just needs healers due to how her defense skill works

[wind hazel]

she's also doing less damage, not just less tanky. go level her up

lv120 is the bare minimum for w14. good ships should go to 125

and dont skip on leveling your ships through grinding. your WDP is missing 3% stat buff because you expbook dumped on her

[fierce plinth]

exp book debuff your ship? i just know that by now

[wind hazel]

no, grinding and getting affinity give you buff.

[muted wind]

affinity gives a stat boost, but there's no real substitute for grinding that out

.... well, first secretary slot passively raises it up to 90, but the rest

[fierce plinth]

ohh ok

[forest palm]

there is a level penalty, that's like 2% per level

caps at 50%

[muted wind]

2% more damage dealt/less taken per level above the enemy... and vice versa. yeah

that ends up being more impactful than the stats from the last few levels honestly

[fierce plinth]

is gonna be a long grind now

[muted wind]

just grind the ships in 12-4 for a few days, it'll be fine

[tender lotus]

What happens if i bought an augment module i already have?

[tulip tinsel]

2 gold core

[gilded hare]

Is it okay to farm exp for my research ships? My Saint Louis is almost done.

Someone told me I shouldn't be farming exp intentionally not until I have 12-4 unlocked...

[tulip tinsel]

smart guy

[wind hazel]

until ch12. not 12-4

[tulip tinsel]

it's generally not recommended to farm shipyard xp before w12 because lot slower

[wind hazel]

you can start as early as even 11-1 if you don't have ch12 unlocked

[gilded hare]

Ohh alright thank you!

[exotic sorrel]

Biased, I'd rather get Monarch instead...

[burnt sentinel]

Hiii I’m like mid battle and I was wondering how do I heal my ships?

I read on.ine that there is a healer ship? How do I tell if a ship is a healer ship or not?

[muted wind]

very few ships in this game heal. the most accessible healer is unicorn, in the guild shop

you'll need to read skill descriptions to figure that out, the game doesn't have any sort of role hint anywhere (the hull type is not a good indicator)

[frosty cargo]

Unicorn Perseus Ryuuhou Zuihou Painleve Aquila Kluadia Daisen Shizuku and more

[burnt sentinel]

How do I heal regularly then?

[muted wind]

if you don't bring a healer, you'll just have to clear the stage on the hp they enter with

[burnt sentinel]

O damn

I’m only on stage 2-1 lol

[muted wind]

yeah that shouldn't be a problem there yet lol

[frosty cargo]

you can heal any ship that is currently in Critical state/dead to max HP

[muted wind]

just buy unicorn in the guild shop, you start out with some currency for that so that shouldn't be a problem. she's in the elite selection. you don't need to join a guild to access it either

[frosty cargo]

but limit 1 free use per day

[muted wind]

(after that via gems, please don't. advice here assumes you don't need to do that)

[burnt sentinel]

Ah okay thank y’all for the advice!

I just unlocked guild today so I can get her now

Is there anything else y’all would recommend I get from guild shop?

Mb like a t3 tech pack or something?

[muted wind]

t3 definitely no

[burnt sentinel]

O damn

It sounded good lol

[muted wind]

t4 exists too, but i'm not sure that's worth the cost in guild coins either lol

[burnt sentinel]

Btw is musashi and New Jersey any good?

[muted wind]

did you get musashi from the gacha?

[burnt sentinel]

Yea

[muted wind]

1. musashi is definitely worth it
2. new jersey isn't worth the cost
3. would definitely save the cubes now, do just 1 light build a day for the daily mission which returns it back

[burnt sentinel]

Ah okay I pulled New Jersey yesterday and musashi this morning

[muted wind]

the only problem with URs early on is that they need dupes or UR bulins to limit break, both kinda limited, and old URs are competing with new URs also. musashi was basically the best thing you could've gotten, so best to stop while you're ahead

[burnt sentinel]

What’s funny is the New Jersey is my first UR and I’m literally from New Jersey hahahaha

[burnt sentinel]

Ah okay I’ll do that then

My impatient ass was trying to pull albion lol

[muted wind]

uh yeah please don't try that again

[tulip tinsel]

getting her outside wishing well is unrealistic

[burnt sentinel]

Wishing well?

[muted wind]

event that let you pick a custom rate up of 2 ships in the same pool.

[burnt sentinel]

Oooooo that’s cool

[muted wind]

only really comes around once or twice a year, will have to wait a few months for the next one i believe

[burnt sentinel]

How often do they come?

[frosty cargo]

still have to gamble tho

[muted wind]

yeah, advice-wise i would say it's bait to waste your cubes before the next UR lmao

[burnt sentinel]

Yes I was told that yesterday but I thought it wouldn’t hurt just dropping a couple summons lol

My team was trash so I was just tryna hit another sr or something

[muted wind]

you hit the jackpot in that case

[burnt sentinel]

I think I pulled 8 times after someone told me not to lol

And I got the musashi

[frosty cargo]

dont trust your luck too much

[burnt sentinel]

Yes I’m gonna stop now haha

I felt like gambling a little hehe

[timid beacon]

Wait arnt you the new player who just started

[agile pewter]

Wait when is it actually I heard some say cn anniversary next month and some say en anniversary in august

[burnt sentinel]

Yea y?

[timid beacon]

And you got musashi at such a early stage

Wow you are lucky

[burnt sentinel]

Thank u!

[timid beacon]

Don’t roll again please save and collect UR bullins as you play to limit break her she’s amazing

Well actually ima hold off on that since I got no clue what other stuff you have

[burnt sentinel]

Is ur bulin the thing on the side of each banner?

[burnt sentinel]

Prolly nothing I’ve played the game for prolly 4 hrs now lol in total

[burnt sentinel]

What’s that lol

[tulip tinsel]

UR limit break

[timid beacon]

No you get these with these that you get from playing the game and you can get around 2 a month if you grind but at your stage I’d just say play at your own pace

[tulip tinsel]

material*

[timid beacon]

You can get them from other things like the cruise pass when you complete it you get one

Err idk what else

[burnt sentinel]

Is limit breaking like having a c7 in genshin impact????

[tulip tinsel]

no idea what that is but if a ship is not mlb it's useless

[burnt sentinel]

I see

[timid beacon]

It’s what you need to "finish" a ship don’t you see the stars above a ship if it isn’t complete they arnt fully limit broken and limit breaks matter in the game because it gives them a major boost and you’d want to limit break them

There’s also Gold and Purple Bullins

[burnt sentinel]

I assume ud only wanna limit break ur?

[whole crypt]

you LB everything

different rarities use different bulins

[burnt sentinel]

Gotcha

What’s the deal with retrofit what is that?

[whole crypt]

if you don't LB your "regular" ships they will be level capped at 70/80/90 depending on the state of LB, as well as be missing significant portions of their stats

[muted wind]

retrofits only exist for some ships, if they have one you usually want to upgrade that too

[burnt sentinel]

What does it mean tho

[tulip tinsel]

unless it's a bbv retrofit

[muted wind]

do you want me to explain what it means to retrofit a naval ship? it's upgrades. usually.

[viscid swift]

A retrofit is another stat boost/upgrade for the ship.

[burnt sentinel]

Bbv?

[whole crypt]

retrofits are upgrades for ships that have them, nodes along the way ususally involve some sort of stat improvement, with the modernization node sometimes offering bigger changes/improvements to their performance, and gain a tier in the rarity colour

[viscid swift]

Usually quite significant.

[tulip tinsel]

gang just read the guide

[viscid swift]

I might ask suchi to just confirm if that's still true or not but it doesn't really matter.

[whole crypt]

the thing about BBV retrofits is even if they're worse it's not significant because the ships that have it are not significant and you do it for collection anyway

[tulip tinsel]

isn't yamashiro and whoever else is a bbv retrofit is worse?

[whole crypt]

not significantly

[burnt sentinel]

I’m sorry I just have like an hour break a day I rather play Abd learn then read a guide as soon as boards done I’ll be reading dw

[whole crypt]

like the Fusous aren't going to work for ch14+ regardless of whether you kept them with or without their conversion

[tulip tinsel]

true

[muted wind]

considering regal tiers them based on their retrofit, it's probably fine now... but it also recommends the halford plane so that kinda explains it

[timid beacon]

I don’t think they would know what bbv means if they just started the game man

[whole crypt]

I don't think they should know at this point in the game, it's irrelevant information overload

nor should it be a problem whether or not they do it, if they get around to it

[crisp estuary]

[agile temple]

is it worth farming 10-3 for rodney if im using nelson and want nelsons pennant or should i just keep pushing to 12-4 and hope i get rodney from an event pull

[whole crypt]

just keep pushing, you might not even be using Nelson by the time you get to 12-4

[agile temple]

why not? cause of difficulty spike?

[whole crypt]

because you could just happen upon a better BB by then

the difficulty is irrelevant, ch12 can be cleared with even worse ships and long before Nelson's retrofit was added

[agile temple]

I mean i can probably push to it rn, my ships are overleveled from farming event. My nelson is 123 and my unicorn is 124

Actually idk about my oil

[agile temple]

Actually my gear is probably not good enough, i didnt consider that part

[whole crypt]

at the very least you want to get past ch10, 11 is already a very big jump for XP farming, and higher chapter is also better coin

the bar for gear isn't very high

there's a good chance you already have what you need to fix, or can get what you need quite easily

[agile temple]

I just attempted 10-4 and cleared it pretty easily when using single fleet (when i split into two fleets i fail cause my other flagship bb is underleveled)

[whole crypt]

yeh if your second fleet isn't up to scratch it's usually easier to just focus on using 1 first

[plain saffron]

am i stupid, how to access the rerun

[muted wind]

smaller button above formation on the main screen

or "special operation" from its event menu

[plain saffron]

ouh no wonder

i guess because i'm using old UI there's no shortcut?

[whole crypt]

you can still get to it in old UI

[muted wind]

from its event menu then

[whole crypt]

yeh the rerun tab in the regular events menu

[plain saffron]

yeah but need more clicks and hidden

[whole crypt]

this part needs a scroll bar even if they added it there

[exotic sorrel]

Is there like a whole form or site where I can see which ships have a cross fleet barrage

[undone plover]

/crossfleet

[odd root]

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

[eager mulch]

[ancient tulip]

if i want ur ships is it worth it to pull standart banner?

or not worth?

[whole crypt]

that list is still missing Moskva and WDP

[river junco]

Not worth just wait for the next ur banner

You can do a daily pull when there isnt an event and eventually you’ll build enough pity to claim one of the perma urs

[ancient tulip]

Wait daily pull? Where do I get it free?

[frosty cargo]

daily pull = 1 light build

you don't lose anything for doing it

[whole crypt]

there is a daily mission that gives you 1 cube (and coins/finishers)
you do not gain or lose cubes whether by not doing it vs doing 1 light build
if you choose to build outside of light you lose cubes on average

we do not recommend building perm heavy and special because you simply do not need to, and gaming for an UR from those pools is also not practically useful

[ancient tulip]

thank you guys

[regal flax]

should i turn t2 tech packs into t3 purple

[sweet delta]

Always

[timid beacon]

Thing is you will want to do this when trying to get a UR ship (event) no standard pool and roll on like a new one (event) or the next one like alsace idk if she’s coming after who knows

[ancient tulip]

Hopefully she comes soon I have severe gambling addiction (gacha pressing)

[timid beacon]

So true twin we need alsace trust

[grizzled creek]

Whenever a chance is found can anybody help me in my thread

Not a rush just asking cause idk if anyone will check otherwise or not

[limpid meadow]

this 2 teams are any good? or i ll drop also my dock

[rapid grail]

what if i bought a copy of auxes for shits and giggles

[rapid grail]

get the ships MLB'd with dupes and/or bulins. they're fine for the most part

event ships are always good to have, they'll help you carry past the early game once you get them to MLB. gear helps too, but at your point it's w/e. go for world 12, and world 9 at the very least

[tulip tinsel]

if you already have them you get 2 gold aug cores

[limpid meadow]

oh okok ty

[timid vortex]

is it worth leveling elite rarity ships since it's easier to give them mlb?

[sweet delta]

For new players yes but depends on the ship, some elites are good for new players while others are 4 medals

[agile temple]

Is it possible to buy out the supply shop in operation siren while im still doing the story/campaign for it? Should I wait until next month to finish the campaign so I can attempt to empty it out or should I just try to beat the story to start getting the monthly resets?

[sweet delta]

Resetting is always better

[agile temple]

alr

[sweet delta]

Assuming that you will play next month

[agile temple]

I saw the T3 ordnance report in NY City shop but I didnt have any of the purple tokens so I didn't get it :( I assume those are timegated

[sweet delta]

Half of the supply shop is just qol or optional or low priority anyways

Purple tokens mainly come from the supply shop and strongholds and abyssals

[agile temple]

I mean the rainbow ordnance report, are those limited per month?

[sweet delta]

One per month from New York

So resetting is the same as not resetting if you can't afford it this month, but by resetting you can buy more of everything else that ran out of stock this month

[agile temple]

Also are the action point refill boxes a limited resource or is it fine for me to just spam those if i'm in the mood to play?

[sweet delta]

They are reduced to atoms by the monthly reset

[agile temple]

Oh nah I have like 60 of them 😭

I was thinking they might be like the fuel cells from HSR so I was saving them 😭

[sweet delta]

Your storage items should look like this minus the AP boxes at the end of the month

[agile temple]

The coordinates are all the hidden stages right?

[sweet delta]

💀 coordinates are among the most important things to do every reset

You have some work to do

[agile temple]

I have just been going to the red exclamation points over and over and then doing the explorable zones when it says I need 8 cleared

[sweet delta]

Yeah just clear chapter 4 of the story or until whenever the Atlantic map says operation siren resets in 1 days, then do all of the map coordinates except the blue ones (level 2)

[agile temple]

The Siren Coordinate one will be kind of hard right? (like level 110+)

[sweet delta]

Yes but even the partial rewards are better than letting it expire end of month

[agile temple]

makes sense

[rapid grail]

kk, ty for who made that sacrifice

[spice idol]

I’m at 9/10 Royal Navy main fleet ships for Monarch. Is there anyone im missing that’s “easy” to get and not RNG?

I’m at chapter 10-1 btw

[weary edge]

if you're EN servers you can buy hood in the medal shop

[spice idol]

Ok thanks. I just looked at the wiki and it looks like medal shop rotates correct? So maybe in 2 days it will be BB for her?

[woven star]

Can try War Archive "Strive, Wish and Strategize" sp3... a lot of RN ships drop

[viscid swift]

Eh, wouldn't really put too much effort into it right now.

[weary edge]

yes correct, but it's server based, so while i on Enty have DDs and BBs, you may have something else

[spice idol]

Oh ok I see now. Yeah I’m CV DD right now, thanks

[woven star]

Ark Royal usually from medal or drops. I guess u don't have her

[spice idol]

No I was trying 6-3 for her but didn’t want to blow too much time/resources

[woven star]

I wouldn't spend on this smthing like SR ship choice pack

[woven star]

Don't. As I said some WA like Strive, Wish and Strategize can work cuz there few RN ships... but w6 bad idea imo

[viscid swift]

It's just Prince of Wales and Ark Royal.

[spice idol]

Ok cool, I’ll just keep doing event and story and eventually get someone to drop. I just noticed I was at 9/10 so figured I’d see if I was missing someone

[woven star]

Ah. Yeah. I forgot that should be main ship for that

[weary edge]

what changes when going to a zone created by coordinate loggers, i feel like not a lot

[viscid swift]

Those are hidden nodes.

[weary edge]

or wait those are the zones where you have to destroy the siren rallies right

[viscid swift]

Yes.

[weary edge]

bang

do CBs count towards main fleet progress?

or wait what is terror

[woven star]

Monitor can be. I'm stupid

we have monitor class too in the game

[weary edge]

lol

[viscid swift]

CBs are vanguards so no.

[woven star]

Or it's vanguard not sure anyway

[viscid swift]

Monitors are main fleets.

[woven star]

Ah ok then

[weary edge]

oh that's what that is, i didnt recognise that class at first so i thought it was CB

[eager mulch]

[inland shoal]

As cute as Amagi is and as dead as this chat may be, please don't just post her if you have nothing to say.

[forest palm]

I sometimes like posting an emote to let people know the chat isn't dead from time to time
make things somewhat inviting, and less discouraging

[nocturne zenith]

I've got a base New Jersey, Yorktown II, Musashi.
Upon completion of all missions.
Should I get Shinano or New Jersey?
I got 3 UR bulins as well...

[forest palm]

be best to save the UR Bulins for the new UR next month

[nocturne zenith]

And between NJ and Shinano?

[forest palm]

Shinano tends to be the more useful of the two, or less likely to be replaced iirc

[nocturne zenith]

Thanks for the advice

[timid beacon]

We still love NJ but yes Shinano honestly their both nice imo

Err idk I got it and just played the game and got it

[ivory pawn]

We just played the game, but ofc we had more time. If you're rushing, make sure you have Shizuku in the boss fleet.

[timid beacon]

We don’t know who it is right?

[ivory pawn]

Correct, we do not.

[timid beacon]

Hopefully it’s maybe not a ur bb

A UR CL or CA would be great maybe I’d roll but idk they have to be good looking for me to pick them over Alsace

[forest palm]

[rain bobcat]

[rustic hearth]

🫪

[primal silo]

is this reset the event end?

[viscid swift]

For the skins yeah.

The event maps stick around for another day.

[honest tulip]

We still have until reset on friday at 2 AM EST to finish grinding then right?

2AM EST is when reset is

[viscid swift]

Yes.

Well I say that, the skins might stick around for another full day as well.

[honest tulip]

Oh good. I don't have to stress to all hell then getting the last few thousand points for shizuku

[calm notch]

why is the server maint and the event end time desynced anyway? lol

[viscid swift]

Gotta ask the devs why this collab started on a Friday.

[rain timber]

Guys, question about the whole yo-star account thing. The only way to log into it is having them send a verification code to my email? Is there no option for me to have a password?

(now that I think about it idk if this is the right channel...)

[wind hazel]

yes

[vale spindle]

remember if ur in merica its daylight savings, so 3am edt

[cobalt gate]

so the event is not gone after update today right?

[scarlet cosmos]

Is most impactful rainbow gear AA guns?

[cobalt gate]

probably most impactful in general. although la9 are pretty high up there for high lvl content

[scarlet cosmos]

Okay sweet, thank you!

[umbral briar]

Today is MT? But the event is still going on until tomorrow, right?

[hearty trout]

how does this skin work ? is it related to feature that unlock when 80 or what

[fleet marten]

Only Available in the 3D Dorm feature

And yes, it does unlock at lvl 80

[scarlet cosmos]

what are thoughts on De Zeven Provincien?

oh ty

[random hearth]

is the event end today or tomorrow? in game said tomorrow but maint today

[onyx flame]

Its tmr but the skins are gone after maint

[woven star]

2 reruns and 1 event at same time. Something crazy happened

[white agate]

*3 reruns

[rain bobcat]

good aa

[abstract solar]

is the current events still available after maintenance?

since it said it's until 05/01.. you'd expect them to have the maintenance at that day instead or maybe my calender is wrong

[muted wind]

events are still up after maintenance. they should end after tomorrow.

[abstract solar]

nice. thanks

[north gorge]

We expect them to have one more day since it started on a Friday and they don't need maint for an event to end.

[muted wind]

it did say until 5/1, and they usually give inclusive days, so yes.
-# skins go away a day earlier for some reason

[exotic sorrel]

Are the planes that Admiral Nakhimov shoot out called rocket planes

Look

[muted wind]

i think she has la-9s equipped in that trial

[exotic sorrel]

The first moving rockets, the la-9s are the ones doing those?

Oh there's two attacks

[muted wind]

there are 2 different sets of torpedoes with the rockets very quickly happening between those

[exotic sorrel]

Yah I got curious when I first saw it cuz it didn't look like the ordinary torpedo bombers I know of..

[muted wind]

i'm not actually sure which torpedo bomber that is, it definitely looks like she has 3 different aircrafts equipped there, and she has no torpedo bombers in her skills iirc. um. probably easier to check what it says in-game after maint

-# hold up no those first torpedoes should be her skill attack? there's clearly 6 la-9s and 3 vit-2s. let me check that again

those 5 aircraft and their torpedoes ahead are just her skill 1

[sullen fossil]

was it today the new login stuff was gonna be implemented or is that leater?

[wicked sluice]

any idea on who the next re run ur will be?

[onyx flame]

if your talking about ur its alsace and mog most likely after cn anni

[wicked sluice]

nice

[twin bronze]

If you meant by camo la9s those are Su-6 skip bombers... You can craft them in the gear lab

[wind hazel]

what about su-7?

[burnt sentinel]

Does anyone know around what time maintenance started?

[wind hazel]

<t:1777532400:R>

[burnt sentinel]

O bet bet so it should be done in a few hours thank u so much!!!!

[wind hazel]

<t:1777554000:R>

[hoary relic]

which UR gonna rerun next? alsace and mog?

[viscid swift]

Most likely.

[timid beacon]

Hope so really hoping

[wind hazel]

help what should i build

[hushed sorrel]

the old events are still ongoing. for another week or just till tomorrow?

[north gorge]

tomorrow

[hushed sorrel]

thanks ^^

[timid beacon]

Four…

[muted wind]

you should pray to whatever gods you believe in this never happens again

[agile temple]

Is this normal? 😭 I started playing a month ago and so much is going on at once

[wind hazel]

not normal at all

[agile temple]

Dang so I just started playing right before a crazy event schedule

[onyx flame]

~~you should build in event ~~

[agile temple]

What are the express tickets used for? It says shorten an active task by 10 minutes but what is an active task? (i might be stupid, sorry if its obvious)

[muted wind]

they're for island planner.

[robust onyx]

So worthless

[agile temple]

Ohhh, alright well that makes me feel like I'm not as stupid cause I uninstalled that mode right after playing the tutorial of it 😭

Saved myself 1.5 gb

[burnt sentinel]

Hey guys I have a quick question is evertsen any good????

I like her character design and was wondering if she’d be good to get one day?

[muted wind]

you should hope you get her with the rerun tickets

[burnt sentinel]

Yea I just dropped 3 on it lol

Are the characters prototype bulin and the universal bulin the bulin everyone was talking about?

I kept looking up what a bulin was but it never made sense since it showed a character lol

[stable badger]

holy... 4 event build options at a time. A NEW RECORD!!!! will we get 5?

[muted wind]

probably? the gold and purple ones (and the rainbow one too i guess). yeah, these do work as wildcard limit break materials for the same rarity

... but they do function as characters, technically.

[burnt sentinel]

Yea I’ve had a super rare one on my team this whole time lol

[plain saffron]

bulinn

[burnt sentinel]

My super rare bulin is level 12 lol

[muted wind]

may wanna look at the stats and realize why not.

almost made that mistake when i started, then read the skill lmao

[brave phoenix]

Is My Build Good Guys?

[burnt sentinel]

lol I just realized my vanguard slot has another bulin too lol so my team has an elite bulin and a super rare bulin

No wonder I’ve been having a hard time clearing stuff

[muted wind]

looking for advice or just a no?

[burnt sentinel]

Could I get some advice for build lol?

[muted wind]

i was just gonna point to https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ since it has gear recommendations per ship now lol

unless you mean for the fleet itself

[burnt sentinel]

So this is my current main team lol

[muted wind]

oh yeah i see the problem

[burnt sentinel]

What should I replace the bulin with and do u have other suggestions?

[muted wind]

javelin and portland for now. portland will be a useful tank for a while, so put her in the front.
-# also... may want to swap shizuku with new jersey since you won't get the opportunity to limit break her

[agile temple]

double bulin setup

[wooden osprey]

what's the f2p cubes amount in a month? daily+weekly

[agile temple]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/common_resource/#/Oil

[burnt sentinel]

Is koln meta any good?

[muted wind]

that's... like the bare minimum. 200+ cubes/month is the usual metric shared lol

[agile temple]

shizuku event ends tmmr right? I dont know if they will unlock since they are new

[muted wind]

ugh, npc. right. didn't see that

[muted wind]

no, use her if you want to though lol

[burnt sentinel]

Ah okay I was just asking since her icon looks special lol

[muted wind]

how close are you to 1000 trust with shizuku actually?

like the event missions for her

[burnt sentinel]

I haven’t done any events yet lol

[agile temple]

All of the META (A faction not meta as in top tier) ships have that card look/border that looks like ashes

[burnt sentinel]

I downloaded the game 3 days ago so I’ve just been tryna figure things out

[burnt sentinel]

Oooo okay

[muted wind]

you'd get trust for her from any stage, check middle event (elise's face) > the fox spirit's retreat. i don't have high hopes, but if you're close, may as well grind it out

[burnt sentinel]

Trust 0 lol

[deep cypress]

Is there no oil cap in the last stage of the rerun on Hard?

[agile temple]

I'm ngl I started to type you are probably at 0 or less than 100 bc you don't get any before chapter 3 of the campaign

[muted wind]

-# yeah okay let's forget that and keep using new jersey for now

[burnt sentinel]

I know New Jersey isn’t good but I kinda like her lol

[muted wind]

she's fine, she's just too expensive to limit break for what she does

[burnt sentinel]

Ah okay

I just realized my second fleet also had a bulin🥴

[muted wind]

just stick with 1 fleet for now
