[misty cloud]

Do enemies killed in opsi add towards the event counter?

[burnt sentinel]

O okay the tutorial had told me I needed to make another one lol

[muted wind]

yeah, it does, but it isn't recommended because it takes a lot of resources that... you don't have.

come back to making a 2nd fleet after... w8? something like that, when you can afford it and have ships for it

[agile temple]

Don't build a second fleet until atleast chapter 9 is what most beginner guides suggested I think, I started playing a month ago and I'm still running one fleet at chapter 11

[burnt sentinel]

I see I shall do that then

[muted wind]

bluntly put, if one fleet clears, you don't need a second one

[burnt sentinel]

My one fleet wasn’t clearing😭😭😭😭

[muted wind]

okay but that looks like a problem with levels

[agile temple]

Its because your resources are being spread thin

[burnt sentinel]

But I think we figured out y lol

Ooo I thought the issue was the bulins lol

[muted wind]

i mean, let's be real, your highest level ship is level 24, you aren't super far into it to begin with

[agile temple]

I'm actually not sure if they are good or bad, I just thought it was funny cause I have only seen them be used as a joke in pvp

[burnt sentinel]

lol true

Are there like exp books that I can use to raise levels or is it just grinding?

[agile temple]

Yes but you won't have access to them for a while (You generate them by farming with ships that are over level 100)

[muted wind]

well, you probably get a few from various things already, but nothing consistent until then

[burnt sentinel]

O damnnnnn

[muted wind]

you can tap boost exp to see whether you have any, but you probably don't need to use them yet

[cerulean ruin]

Hey all! Any good guides for a newbie? All guides I saw online are years old at this point

[agile temple]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/

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

[tawdry halo]

chat, is it only just me or Towards Tulipa Sea event is readded?

[burnt sentinel]

O hello fellow newbie

[muted wind]

yeah, it's being rerun for the next week

[burnt sentinel]

Do events scale based on the stage of the game ur in?

[muted wind]

nope

[burnt sentinel]

Shit so I can’t even do them lol

[muted wind]

... yeah... normal on the tulipa rerun is already level 30-60

[burnt sentinel]

Oof welp I guess I miss this event

[muted wind]

you get a few points from dailies at least... though idk if that helps

probably enough to buy the build tickets or oil in the event shop

[burnt sentinel]

An okay I’ll have to do that then

[agile pewter]

Do vanguard ddgs not have missiles to shoot like torps

[muted wind]

they do, they just auto-fire, and don't preload

[agile pewter]

Oh it's not activated like normal?

[muted wind]

yeah, fires like other vanguard guns

[agile pewter]

Ah thanks I was wondering why the button was blanked out

[ancient tulip]

Guys for gems what should I spend to make my life easier?(In azur lane :v)

[violet reef]

Would she do a lot dmg

[undone plover]

The only gameplay P2W pack that is worth imo is the level 70 boost

And dock space if u are a collector
But use f2p gems for dockspace first

Check /gems in #bot-spam

[muted wind]

preferably wants to be paired with soyuz or moskva, and would need different gear for bossing, but this is fine
-# also see https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/20036 if you want gear suggestions for that

[undone plover]

Level 70 pack if u are new otherwise less worth the more u have played

[ancient tulip]

Ty

[violet reef]

Dont think i have the gear tho lmao

[muted wind]

fine for campaign then lol

[violet reef]

14-3 been pain in ass i gave up

[muted wind]

uh, https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief, if you want to give it another shot?
otherwise, fair

[ancient tulip]

Srry to ask but there no level 70 or I will get it when I level 70?

[violet reef]

I prolly gotta level my urs

[undone plover]

What is your current commander level?

[ancient tulip]

58

[muted wind]

the other link also has tier lists for specific content, but yeah, maybe

[undone plover]

Oh then dont bother tbh

[muted wind]

ah the UR levels actually seem fine for w14. might be related to healers and other support ships then?

[undone plover]

If u really want to spend for gameplay
And not skins/oath rings then spend on double gem pack for dock space
Maybe cruise pass and monthly trade license for some extra resources
But only if u want to
Since u dont rly need to

[violet reef]

I got like 3 healers maybe

[muted wind]

hm. i mean, unicorn + some other healer usually makes mob fairly easy, at least with other decent ships around. as long as you have ASW gear to deal with the submarines that is

[undone plover]

Just to avoid confusion incase anyone checks this
There is a $5 pack that boosts u to commander level 70 and gives u a bunch of resources
That is what I meant since it can help boost your early game
These level X packs are generally not worth it

[violet reef]

Hmm but theres not even a reason to do campain

[muted wind]

well, unless you want the drop ships for collection

[ancient tulip]

Ty

[violet reef]

Im almost at 69% collection

[muted wind]

that sure is a goal

[violet reef]

Lol

[plucky ice]

Any good asw ships?

[tulip tinsel]

Eldridge kai, laffey 2

[muted wind]

any ship that can equip a hedgehog?

ASW is generally good enough on any DD you'd otherwise use late game

[tulip tinsel]

Event ends at 30 23:59 or 01 23:59?

[plucky ice]

Let me check if i have hedgehog and thanks

[muted wind]

01 23:59... and skins disappear at 30 23:59

[muted wind]

everyone gets one, if you don't have it... uh... bad news.

[whole crypt]

Eldridge retrofit does offer an extra ghost hedgehog, WDP also has some sort of ASW buff, the only reason Laffey II is even in the consideration is because she can afford to skip on a durability aux without too much issue

ideally I wouldn't have the hedgehog on my Z52 or Trafalgar for example

[grizzled creek]

Is 2 fleets always generally better to run on the event then 1? Does it better maintain their happiness n stuff?

[muted wind]

true, but i feel like you probably won't build a fleet with the idea of including a specific ship for ASW and more likely will just stick ASW on the best-fitting ship that you included anyways

[undone plover]

not rly
if u are newer maybe 1 fleet cant clear everything alone so 2 could be better
but if u are very new u only have 1 fleey anyway

[brave phoenix]

Is My Collection is good for someone who is recently playing Azur lane? (Like 34 Days) my friends said my progress is slow

[muted wind]

no real benefit for 1 vs 2 fleet on events honestly. if you can swap between 2 different fleets to grind more, that's a different topic

[plucky ice]

Uh... I think i disassembled it back when i was a noob and didnt care about proper gear

[muted wind]

rip. well, eldridge retro it is then

[grizzled creek]

I have 2 fleets

I just was mostly wondering about the best way to play the 2

[muted wind]

hammann II technically also has an inherent hedgehog but, uh, no

[grizzled creek]

So I should just enter with 1 at a time?

[undone plover]

the ships that need XP go in fleet 1

[plucky ice]

Damn it atleast i still have maxed eldrige retro

[whole crypt]

I have no idea what your friend thinks is slow but 1 month is basically just pushing the chapters with elites, collection plays very little part in early game

[grizzled creek]

Do they get exp even if their fleet doesn’t fight ?

[tulip tinsel]

No

[muted wind]

if you want this for exp, and 1 fleet can clear it... yeah, do 1 fleet

[brave phoenix]

I'm stuck at 7-4 (I'm still at Level 56)

[frosty cargo]

[whole crypt]

have you read the relevant newbie guides

[brave phoenix]

No? Not at all, Playing With Instinct

[whole crypt]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

for most part AL goes against all basic instincts you'd use on a gacha game for progression, I recommend you give those a read

[frosty cargo]

do you have Unicorn ? (i dont see Uni) she can help ypu a lot

[plucky ice]

will a no hedgehod fleet be harder in w15 i think my account is bricked

[tulip tinsel]

A lot harder but doable i think

[whole crypt]

no hedgehog indeed makes late campaign harder but it's not the end of the world

[brave phoenix]

Uni? What is Uni?

[undone plover]

u can prob still clear esp if u have eldridge

[plucky ice]

Yeah I have a maxed eldrige retro

[tulip tinsel]

Unicorn 🦄🦄

[whole crypt]

did you actually scrap your hedgehog

[frosty cargo]

Unicorn

[brave phoenix]

I have No Unicorn

[whole crypt]

read the guides

[plucky ice]

Im pretty sure i scrapped it while clearing out space years ago

[brave phoenix]

Wait

[frosty cargo]

She is one of the best healer in the game

[whole crypt]

most gamer/gacha instincts don't work for AL early game

[frosty cargo]

and you can get her easily, from Guild Shop

[whole crypt]

she's is overall still the best general healer in the game

[viscid swift]

Well if you're a whale and new PR Packs aren't a terrible option.

[plucky ice]

So does elite improved depth charge work as a decent substitute for hedgehog

[muted wind]

nope. but it's nice to use in addition to it.

[whole crypt]

lv70 pack isn't even P2W, besides skins pretty much anything you pay for is just pay to catchup

[muted wind]

... or rather in addition to eldridge retro's inherent hedgehog for you

[grizzled creek]

If I got a question about how I wanna set up my fleet for the event xp farming

Can I send my 2 fleets here to figure out where I throw who I’m leveling or do I need a thread

[plucky ice]

Thanks and today i just found out my lvl 120 acc is bricked

[muted wind]

you wouldn't be the first

[whole crypt]

again you can still clear ch14/15/16 without hedgehog, it's just more difficult

[tulip tinsel]

Bring more ASW aux plane thingies

[whole crypt]

and ch14+ is for most part basically irrelevant

[undone plover]

honestly i bought 4 and dont think they are worth it but ofc ppl might think otherwise

[regal flax]

how do i raise npc musashi lvl if i cant use her in commisions

[plucky ice]

Oh yeah is it worth it bringing Shinano alongside eldrige for this skill?

[muted wind]

send her into combat? exp books?

[viscid swift]

The very simple flowchart is.

Do you need to level someone that'll help for pushing/beating content?

Yes - Level them.

No - Level ships for fleet tech.

[undone plover]

just sortie with normal fleet it is enough

u dont need to even use her

unless they changed sth which i cant imagine they have

[viscid swift]

I agree but some people do have more disposable income than us.

[grizzled creek]

That’s not what I mean, I just wanna ask who to take off my current teams to put the ships I’m leveling

[whole crypt]

you can still use her in sorties
but why would you want to use her anyway

[grizzled creek]

Idk who can carry basically

[undone plover]

yeah that is fair but even then i would prob spend it on more skins/gems/dock space/cog chips etc

[viscid swift]

You don't need a carry for W12 and events.

[grizzled creek]

Huh how so

[viscid swift]

At worst, all you need us Unicorn.

[muted wind]

assuming the levels aren't completely at the bottom that is

[viscid swift]

And if you're ships aren't all horrifically underleveled and badly geared.

[grizzled creek]

So unicorn can solo the event on hard mode on her own?

[plucky ice]

just put them on your mob fleet

[viscid swift]

You don't need a carry.

[fluid fjord]

I just want to confirm that for pity it’s best to keep getting musashi until she’s mlb? Or should I pick up a new ur?

[whole crypt]

Musashi yes

[fluid fjord]

Thank you

[grizzled creek]

Im not nearly as far in the game as yall so idk

[whole crypt]

if it makes any sense you can run SP4 on the DOA events using Unicorn + 0LB Mahan, assuming you have crossfleets

[muted wind]

if the ships you're grinding aren't too far below the stage's level, it'll be fine

[royal kraken]

Should I

She's pretty

[whole crypt]

do you have Muasshi

[brave phoenix]

I guess I'm Cooked Very Badly In This Game

[grizzled creek]

Well I’ll probably level them to like 50-70 with the tickets before I farm the rest

[plucky ice]

Not really

[royal kraken]

I only have these

[whole crypt]

there's very little you can do to permanently cook your account

it just takes time to recover

[muted wind]

yeah pick another musashi and use the dupes to limit break your leveled musashi

[plucky ice]

yeah dont be like me and disassemble your hedgehog when u get it

[brave phoenix]

You sure?

[pine siren]

how many free build tickets are we getting?

[grizzled creek]

Can’t I just send my 2 teams n u guys tell me before my brain fry’s plz cause I’m just confusing myself tryna understand

[whole crypt]

LB your lv100 Musashi with your lv1 Musashi, then get another Musashi dupe for another LB

[brave phoenix]

I might try

[viscid swift]

Considering I consistently do 12-1 and and events with 5/6 ships unequipped even if I have cross fleets.

And the one ship I do equip is a random common or elite.

[muted wind]

... on that note, also do the same with that bismarck zwei wtf

[brave phoenix]

Where do I can Get Uni?

[muted wind]

guild shop in the elites

[ivory pawn]

I haven’t actually looked but should be the usual 32-33 ish.

[whole crypt]

guild shop

[frosty cargo]

Guild's Shop

[brave phoenix]

Oh man, Thanks

[royal kraken]

Couldn't I just get bullins

[pine siren]

alr thank you

[viscid swift]

You with 6 half decent ships and all equipped shouldn't have many issues getting a fleet together that can clear 6 mobs.

[muted wind]

save bulins for new URs

[brave phoenix]

I just Don't know if this Game Actually Complicated (I did never asked anyone How To Play This Game)

[grizzled creek]

So the only way u can level ships … is by already leveling them beforehand with tickets n gearing them… if I ain’t endgame like yall

[whole crypt]

the details are complicated but it's fairly routine once you get around to it

[viscid swift]

I mean even I don't regularly drag level 1 ships through W12.

[grizzled creek]

Im not doing regular story rn just wanna play the event

[brave phoenix]

I see, Well thanks A Lot To Reminds Me About This, I'm Pretty sure I Might Be Cooked

[viscid swift]

The same applies to the event.

Eventually you want to get into a routine of pre leveling your ships. Like so.

[grizzled creek]

Yk what ima just send my fleet and ask my question in that manner.

I believe this is my fleet for the “mobs” can unicorn & say Portland support ungeared level 50-60s in the event

[brave phoenix]

If I'm Allowed Being Honest Here, I Played Azur Lane Only To Collect Ships Not The Gameplay So yeah maybe that could be one of my Mistakes

[grizzled creek]

See but your a whole different level I can’t 99 ships pre hand lol

[viscid swift]

Why would they be ungeared?

[grizzled creek]

Cause I don’t have the stuff to properly gear em I’m not to far progressed

[viscid swift]

I mean that's fair enough but you kinda have to learn eventully if you're going for 100%.

[whole crypt]

game mechanics and the ceiling doesn't really change very much, you pretty much jus tneed to go through the basics once and the rest you can play by rote

[viscid swift]

Strip them off the ships you're not using?

[brave phoenix]

I see

[brave phoenix]

Well Okay In Gonna Do It Later Because My Phone Just Overheated

[grizzled creek]

That’s valid I guess ? But still I’m wondering if I can take off most my stuff there for mobs

[frosty cargo]

[grizzled creek]

Just cause u can do it doesn’t mean I could . Unless it depends on how strong my unicorn is for example but I can’t just 90-100 any n every ship I wanna level beforehand i don’t have the resources to

[viscid swift]

That's what you eventually want to do.

[whole crypt]

a lv70 or 80 ship survives ch12 fine if the rest of the fleet isn't shit

[viscid swift]

But in answer to this question, the simple answer is I don't know.

I don't know what ships you're using, what the state of Portland and Unicorn's gear is and I've simply never really tried it.

[frosty cargo]

Ours little sister will carry everyone

[viscid swift]

I would wager it probably won't work but I can't say that for certain.

[grizzled creek]

That’s for 1 ship though what if I wanna level like 3 at a time

Unless that’s a bad idea typically

[whole crypt]

then 80-90

and depends on what ships you're "carrying" with

[grizzled creek]

[whole crypt]

12-1 is incredibly forgiving

[timid vortex]

how do you even clear event shops? I don't have neither oil nor ships' morale enough for that

[whole crypt]

depending on the fleet 12-4 may be easier because you don't need to fight boss with 0 ammo

[grizzled creek]

I’m not at 12-1… just doing the event that’s all for now

[viscid swift]

We don't, most of stop at 55k event points.

[muted wind]

most people don't. just buy the important parts, get the milestone rewards you need (55k for new, 35k for reruns), and dip

[grizzled creek]

Unless the events as hard as 12-1

[frosty cargo]

no normal people 100% clear shop

[whole crypt]

events are usually in ch10-11 difficulty range for the top stage

SP events may be clsoer to ch9

[tulip tinsel]

Event stages are piss easy

[grizzled creek]

Well it’s really hard to say which of my team is gonna stay considering I was told nobody’s gonna carry

[whole crypt]

event stages may pose more challenge than ch12 if it happens to have shitty gimmicks and subs

[grizzled creek]

Idk who to leave on the team

[viscid swift]

The idea is to eventually not use maxed out ships for farming because that just wastes XP.

[whole crypt]

Unicorn and Portland may carry but it depends on gear and stuff, and whether event has shitty gimmicks

[grizzled creek]

I have no choice rn

[viscid swift]

Not that no one will carry.

[grizzled creek]

Well my gear isn’t great

[viscid swift]

I mean, just try and see what happens after you get the map down to safe.

No one can can definitvely say what you're proposing will succeed or fail, only speculate and make educated guesses.

If it does fail, adjust the set up accordingly and try again. Rinse and repeat until it does succeed.

It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I cannot give you the definitive answers you're looking for.

[grizzled creek]

I guess I’ll just try n see

[grizzled creek]

Is stage c/d the one I wanna farm at? Or did the change how events work

[muted wind]

yeah. they did change it for newer ones, but there it's basically the same first-half/second-half with normal and hard

[grizzled creek]

I see so this current event has like 6 regular stages at normal/hard?

[muted wind]

there are 3 events right including reruns

[frosty cargo]

3 Normal 3 Hard 1 SP on Tulipa

[grizzled creek]

Whatever the newest one is then idk idk how I’m suppose to know lol

[grizzled creek]

Thx

[muted wind]

all of the current ones are SP events, tulipa is the only one with a hard mode though

[viscid swift]

God this going to make my guide so difficult to write.

[grizzled creek]

But there’s 3 total fights then? For that one

Do I get anything special for clearing all 3 on hard ?

[frosty cargo]

iirc you get tickets

[grizzled creek]

Thx

[viscid swift]

Clear normal or hard, doesn't matter except for HT3 to unlock SP.

[grizzled creek]

Thx

[frosty cargo]

sadly no EX

[muted wind]

the rerun does have separate daily first clear bonuses, so it's worth doing each once a day after that

[fluid fjord]

Does anyone have a link to the interaction guide for de zeven

[undone plover]

this should have it i think https://bit.ly/ALCFguide

[fluid fjord]

Thanks, I’ll give it a check

[autumn marlin]

um...is it ok if i could ask for feedback on a theorycrafting thing ive been working on for a shipgirl? Tried in AL-general, but...well, its a bit chaotic

[sweet delta]

If it's not for what's in the game, then no

[undone plover]

doesnt hurt to ask

[autumn marlin]

it is about gameplay mechanics, asking what traits and aspects would make a good ship

[sweet delta]

Yamato theory crafting is not in the scope of this channel

[autumn marlin]

its not yamato

[viscid swift]

Yeah that's theorycrafting for a ship which doesn't exist in game yet which definitely falls outside the scope of the channel.

[sweet delta]

Ask quickly

[autumn marlin]

fair enough, just not sure where to ask for more knowledgable help on stuff or have a discussion since general...well, is general

[frosty cargo]

#off-topic maybe?

[tulip tinsel]

Is that a free Z52 skin i see 👀👀

[viscid swift]

I'll say this much on what makes a ship good.

They deal lots of damage and/or have good utility (healing, damage buffs / debuffs).

If they're a vanguard being tanky and/or having good also helps.

[autumn marlin]

fair, i have concepts and ideas, but working out numbers and the like is what ive been stuck on

[viscid swift]

Oh boy.

[undone plover]

well
in general if u want to ask it doesnt hurt to know
depends on the role the ship will fulfill
but for a ship to be considered good i would say they have to do one or more of the following

1- have acceptable eHP
2- have acceptable DMG
3- if more support have decent AA/ASW/Buff/debuff
if a ship has all of the above then they are amazing

check the tierlist by sushi and can look at the A tier ships and above
and u will see what they have in common

[viscid swift]

For raw stats you can compare them to other top tier ships.

For barrage numbers and patterns, that tends to be the killing point.

Because that's a lot harder to wrap your head around.

[autumn marlin]

eh, im not going for something top tier or meta. i guess i can ask about pre-existing stuff so i can make the decisions myself

[viscid swift]

This might help.
https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/

[undone plover]

instead of asking one by one i recommend u look at the tierlist
but if u want to discuss sth on the tierlist and know why it was rated at A or B or S for example that can be useful for you to know more

[autumn marlin]

mhm, its one thing to know a ship is good, but its another to understand why its good

[viscid swift]

SMH, not updated with Musashi Chan yet Suchi.

[autumn marlin]

can that I ask about?

[viscid swift]

Pretty much for the reasons I listed earlier.

[autumn marlin]

what about in the context of submarines?

[undone plover]

u can ask about a single ship it will help focus the conversation
i dont know why that would not be allowed
for example what makes emden good

[viscid swift]

As to why they're good in those categories, it effectively boils down to the numbers calculations so they're good in those categories.

[sweet delta]

Blame the devs for changing data files structure

[whole crypt]

submarines are bascially purely a damage consideration, which would more or less be based on TRP, RLD, OXY and barrage strength

[viscid swift]

Yeah.

[autumn marlin]

fair nuff, i guess i am being overly vague. The ship im working on is I-14, sister ship of I-13, so i guess I-13's capabilities and I-404's are the closest comparisons, so i can at least ask about those 2

and im also curious about the mechanics of their planes and airstrikes in game

[viscid swift]

I guess in what sense?

Like, what do you want to know.

Because this is a really broad topic.

[autumn marlin]

well first, how do their planes n stuff deploy

[whole crypt]

none of the other IJN subs are even remotely close to what 404 can do

[viscid swift]

That's automatic.

[autumn marlin]

looks at I-13

[viscid swift]

There's a plane cooldown calculation on the wiki.

[whole crypt]

I don't mean what gear they can put on, I mean how much time they stay on screen and how much damage they can deliver as a result

[undone plover]

i think he wants the cooldowns and dmg numbers
maybe have a go at lars' calc with dmg numbers
it is a bit much trying to explain all the formulas here tbh

[viscid swift]

The main factors would be reload stat and the base cooldown time of the plane.

[autumn marlin]

from what i understand, I-13 just launches 2 planes when she enters and 2 planes when she leaves, right?

[viscid swift]

That might be from her skills, let me check them rq.

[whole crypt]

yeh it is

but sub planes are kind of whatever anyway

[viscid swift]

But just to be clear, the planes from skills and the ones she equps are seperate.

[autumn marlin]

I dont see anything for I-13 on the wiki. I-404's is part of her skill

[autumn marlin]

i know, I-13's plane skill is a scout plane that just gives a negligable buff

[viscid swift]

When this boat enters the battle: launches a Saiun seaplane and increases DMG dealt by your Main Fleet by 10.0% for 10s.

[autumn marlin]

i meant her actual offense planes

[viscid swift]

10% damage buff for the main fleet ain't neglible.

[viscid swift]

Yeah, that's more or less all as I described earlier.

They don't come preloaded.

[autumn marlin]

how do those work? and i was told the 10% buff was kinda nothing

[sweet delta]

They are handled by skills

[viscid swift]

Whoever told you that was talking shit.

[whole crypt]

part of the problem is if you autolaunch subs almost no main fleet ships will do any damage in that window

[frosty cargo]

10% is kinda a lot

[undone plover]

here is an example of numbers
this is pretty basic so dont treat it as gospel
also this assumed they land everything
and doesnt take arbiter buffs into acc afaik
but look at the dmg diff

[whole crypt]

10% is a sizable buff, the problem with I-14 is it happens in a window that basically no main fleet damage is being dealt if you don't manually control sub deployment

[autumn marlin]

I feel like im missing something. Yes, she has a skill where a scout plane is launched off screen, flies past, and gives a buff. I am wanting to know how her actual bomber plane deployment works. Is it tied to the air strike button, is it its own thing?

[undone plover]

it is possible it doesnt take oxy into account as well i am not sure 🏃‍♂️

[viscid swift]

As I said, it lauches automatically when it reloads.

[whole crypt]

submarine plane airstrikes work like normal airstrikes on auto

[viscid swift]

There's no button to launch it.

[autumn marlin]

ok, and it comes preloaded so it launches as soon as its called?

[viscid swift]

It's not preloaded for I-13.

The plane you see at the start of the battle is from her skill.

[autumn marlin]

aahhh

[viscid swift]

Not preloaded for I-404 either.

[autumn marlin]

ive been told a lot of different things about how I-13's plane deployments work in the past

[whole crypt]

does any SSV have it preloaded at all

[viscid swift]

Well there's only 2.

[autumn marlin]

then why does it say preload here?

[sweet delta]

Sir Humphrey is wrong

[viscid swift]

I blame ALDB.

[sweet delta]

The seaplanes don't launch when they reload

[whole crypt]

stiggy to the rescue

[autumn marlin]

KILL

[sweet delta]

Their launches are controlled by hidden skills, so I 13 always launches twice at most no matter her reload or equipped plane

/kick 713813029388550256

[odd root]

rachaphruk#0 got kicked.

[viscid swift]

I-404 works the same way or?

[frosty cargo]

sleep in piss bot

[sweet delta]

404's works the same way but her skill text does say it

3 launches

[autumn marlin]

and i dont know what "description of equipment" is trying to say

[viscid swift]

I have no fucking clue either.

But that's MT for you.

[whole crypt]

from my understanding it's saying i-13 has a ghost gun that doesn't shoot

considering that if it doesn't shoot then whether or not it's affected by FP or whether there's any reference for ROF makes no difference

the reference is a redlink so that's all I can say

[autumn marlin]

i dont think ive ever seen her shoot a gun

can someone test it out?

[whole crypt]

you can't test a ghost gun that doesn't shoot, that sort of crap only shows up on datamine

[autumn marlin]

huh, maybe its just leftover code from copy pasteing sub code to her

[safe nexus]

is the new banner any good?

[sweet delta]

Why wouldn't a gun shoot

[whole crypt]

that's my understanding of what that paragraph says on CN wiki, I'm not aware of what it's actually about

[autumn marlin]

but yeah, plane mechanics for I-13. they arent affected by reload or anything like that, then what does determine when they're deployed?

[safe nexus]

ok thx

[sweet delta]

As I said, hidden skills

[autumn marlin]

what are the specifics of the hidden skill

[viscid swift]

Just refference what I-404 says for her sea planes. More or less the same thing.

[sweet delta]

They're buffs/skills but not displayed on the ship, nothing else to say without getting into code

[autumn marlin]

ah, and no one here's a dataminer?

well...does anyone know how it works in practice? I never got her so i cant really see myself

[sweet delta]

Depends what you mean by dataminer

[autumn marlin]

wishing well was never my friend

[sweet delta]

Ffs just read i-404 skill and it's 2 instead of 3 strikes for i13

[viscid swift]

when this boat reaches the battlefield, 10s after the battle starts, and when this boat leaves the battlefield: performs an attack with this boat's equipped Seaplanes

Pretty much what it says.

[autumn marlin]

and i kept reading/refering to EN wiki instead of CN...i really should use CN wiki more

[sweet delta]

[viscid swift]

What.

[autumn marlin]

i...nevermind

[viscid swift]

Use ALDB instead.
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/ships/id/705

[whole crypt]

this probably has nothing to do with whether you're reading CN or EN wiki if the game just doesn't have the text in it

[tulip tinsel]

Why is it already cleared??

[onyx flame]

you did the event before?

[viscid swift]

Progress carried over from the original run.

[sweet delta]

Don't ask me, ask yourself

[autumn marlin]

ok, ALDB bookmarked

[frosty cargo]

if you played it b4 it will be cleared

[whole crypt]

were you here last year

[tulip tinsel]

I don't remember doing this event lmao

[frosty cargo]

maybe you getting old

[autumn marlin]

sorry for being an idiot, though yall gotta admit this stuff isnt the most intuitive

[tulip tinsel]

My goldfish memory messing with me

[viscid swift]

It isn't.

That's why we're here.

[whole crypt]

being here for the original run and not remembering it are both signs of aging

[autumn marlin]

thanks. but yeah, if i understand correctly, I-404 surfaces each time she launches her planes right?

[sweet delta]

It is true that CN wiki has more info on ship's hidden skills and barrage numbers, especially for older ships

She does exactly what her skill says

[tulip tinsel]

Oh wait yeah i think i remember coming back near the end of this event

[autumn marlin]

"One time each: when this boat reaches the battlefield, 10s after the battle starts, and when this boat leaves the battlefield: performs an attack with this boat's equipped Seaplanes; after the second attack, I-404 surfaces for 3s and recovers 10 OXY every second, then submerges again."

[whole crypt]

after the second attack, I-404 surfaces for 3s

[viscid swift]

after the second attack, I-404 surfaces for 3s and recovers 10 OXY every second, then submerges again

[autumn marlin]

yup, so she surfaces to launch the planes visually, ye?

[viscid swift]

No.

[cerulean rampart]

Hi, is it worh to farm daily x5 x3 nodes in tulipa event, or i can just go straight to the last hard node and set up a tent there?

[autumn marlin]

oh-

[viscid swift]

She surfaces with the 2nd attack to recover oxy.

Not to launch planes.

[autumn marlin]

so do the planes launch while she's visibly underwater?

[frosty cargo]

worth it if you have low cost fleet

[viscid swift]

Yes.

Well, for the initial one anyway.

Because subs only retreat when they run out of Oxy for the battle and need to surface.

[cerulean rampart]

i can 1-1 but not with low cost. hardest node it is then, thanks

[whole crypt]

depending on what your 1-1 is some of the bonuses are still worthwhile

[sweet delta]

Simple maths says that 1:1 high cost 5x is still better than the third map without 5x

[frosty cargo]

even T1 give more than HT3 (200 - 180)

[sweet delta]

The lore is that she surfaces to launch the planes. But her planes come from off screen in game. Which is good for gameplay considering how shit halford was for a whole year

[autumn marlin]

aahhhh, thats what kept messing up what ive been trying to think of. I thought it was that they launched their planes from their model?

[viscid swift]

They tried that with Halford and discovered why that was a shit idea.

[autumn marlin]

i mean, I-13 was in the game looooonnnng before halford

[sweet delta]

Hakford was an accident, not a test

[autumn marlin]

so was it always the case of offscreen for I-13?

[viscid swift]

The planes launched too close to enemies and the F8F Rocketcat couldn't acquire targets usually and so did nothing.

[autumn marlin]

if i remember right, if you put interceptors on I-13, it comes from her model. Is that the case or are those also off screen?

[viscid swift]

I genuinely don't remember.

[sweet delta]

All planes use the same location for a specific ship skin

[sweet delta]

If you don't own the ships in game, you can look for YouTube videos like Suchiguma 's challenge mode (not hard arbiter because those battles are over before I-404’s second airstrike) https://youtu.be/D9c2MYHHKQM?si=t8nezDVjQjVmCv27

[exotic sorrel]

I'm having a hard time fighting Jintsuu meta do I need Aurora on my fleet

[viscid swift]

She would probably help.

[exotic sorrel]

Okay I'll try and see

[sweet delta]

Is there a pin for how to farm tulipa rerun

[autumn marlin]

Huh, in this video, the planes are actually coming from I-13's model. you can see em grow on screen

though I-13 comes in later to compensate

at 0:36

tho...wait, where are those extra bearcats coming from-

[viscid swift]

Would you like one?

[autumn marlin]

huh...looking at that footage i am SO confused

[viscid swift]

Added it to the pin on the event ship assesment.

[sweet delta]

Maybe i13 planes come from her sprite while all i404 planes come from far left of her sprite

gear skins

[autumn marlin]

like...this is what i saw:
Battle start
2 bearcats come from her model followed by 3 more bearcats from offscreen
15-ish seconds later, 3 more bearcats spawn from offscreen
oxy runs out, surfaces, 2 seirans come out off screen
few seconds later, 2 bearcats come from her model alongside 3 more from offscreen

I know the bearcat has an ability where it can spawn 3 more bearcats when the wearer calls an airstrike, but thats only if its a DD

[whole crypt]

imagine AL being consistent

[autumn marlin]

they had no other ships who could equip the bearcat, and this was a raid so there was no 2nd fleet buffs

[sweet delta]

You are mixing up 13 and 404 planes

All the 3s are from 404 and all the 2s are from 13

[autumn marlin]

oh im dumb, i didnt notice I-404 there

i was so hyperfocussed on trying to see I-13 through all the planespam and ability anims

so fair, the 3 other bearcats from offscreen come from I-404. Though that still leaves the two seirans and where they came from

[sweet delta]

Read 13's skill

[autumn marlin]

thats a saiun

and that comes in when she comes into the battle

[sweet delta]

Then the skill is wrong

[autumn marlin]

but the saiun also comes in at the beginning of the battle

so it is right

[viscid swift]

Me thinks Lars overlooked something or made a typo.

[autumn marlin]

and its 2 seirans, not 3, so its not I-404

or maybe its part of her OAO?

[sweet delta]

404 sends 2 seirans at the end

[autumn marlin]

does she? what skill does that come from?

[sweet delta]

That's part of her crossfleet barrage and final surfacing barrage

[autumn marlin]

but the skill says the crossfleet only works if she wasnt in the battle

and thats supposed to be 15s after the battle starts too-

[sweet delta]

404's All out assault and crossfleet barrage both use seirans

[autumn marlin]

ooohhhh

huh...so wait she basically gets a 5 plane airstrike when she surfaces the 2nd time?

[sweet delta]

13
Start: 1 Saiun with no DMG. 2 equipped planes.
End: 2 equipped planes.

404
Start: 3 equipped planes.
10s: surface for 3 seconds and call 3 equipped planes
End: 3 equipped planes and 2 seirans

[autumn marlin]

Thanks so much!

man finding the info for this stuff shouldnt be this complicated

also i wonder why they gave her an FP stat

[sweet delta]

There are just so many hidden skills and bugged skills and so few data miners that it's infeasible

Like EN wiki has one active contributor who datamines, and ALDB is also run by one single person

[sweet delta]

Submarines have guns and they do fire when they're surfaced

[autumn marlin]

yes, but I-13 doesnt have a gun

[sweet delta]

You can see it in ALDB ghost guns

[autumn marlin]

huh

though doesnt work in "special opperations"

i assume thats oppsi?

[boreal wagon]

[autumn marlin]

again, thank yall so much!!

[boreal wagon]

what did i miss/typo

[viscid swift]

Nothing.

[autumn marlin]

nah you didnt miss anything

[boreal wagon]

[sweet delta]

Will it disappear from the depot or just become unusable but stay in the depot?

[vale spindle]

iirc when this happened for gridman it disappeared

[sweet delta]

If you mean what the CN wiki says, then it's the weekly raid

[autumn marlin]

oohhhhh

[sweet delta]

I don't know the details of how it doesn't include the ghost gun there, but equipped gear guns do shoot

I am not a hardcore dataminer

[autumn marlin]

maybe it was a code thing they could never fix

[white agate]

tomorrow the event is still playable?

[tulip tinsel]

lasts until 1. 23:59

[white agate]

gmt 0?

[clear harbor]

What armor type is the arbiter? Or how can I look that up?

[tulip tinsel]

utc-7

[tulip tinsel]

light rn and jellyfish is medium

[sweet delta]

Scroll down on the home page https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/

[clear harbor]

Is there a way to deal with the jelly fish? Just burst it down with medium damage? With auto battle, my BB's seem to prioritize it over the boss.

Also, if it's light + medium, do I want my Lion Gun, Raff Gun, and maybe a purple 406?

[undone plover]

your non main dmg for example torp skews med/heavy anyway
and HE guns have good decent mods vs other armors
so u just run HE guns and pray for best on auto

[sweet delta]

If your rainbow ships are rainbowing, then they'll delete everything

[alpine perch]

Where in research do we find Anchorage’s gun that they show for the simulation I get it’s probably not the best gun for her but it’s not even in pr4 blueprints

[sweet delta]

For example, Bisz black hole pulls the jellyfish and boss together, so just use HE gun to hit both at the same time

[alpine perch]

Because I got like 18 of 25 of it but don’t remember getting them let alone where

[sweet delta]

It's in gear lab but not really worth crafting

Probably some event gave you blueprints

[alpine perch]

Figured that much but thank you

[sweet delta]

Certainly not worth looking specifically for the event for the last 7 bps

[clear harbor]

My rainbow ships did something like 50 - 60% on easy. : / My reload fleet tech isn't good (+2). I actually didn't realize I had a bunch of the reload tech BBs that I could be leveling until last week. 😩 So I need auto-loader to sneak in an extra volley instead of white shell. Among otherthings, maybe.

Regardless, I will try. I used Meck gun earlier, so there's so potenial damage bleed.

Hm, down to 40% with just 6 s to go, but my vanguard is also a little squishy.

[burnt sentinel]

Hiiii quick question does the game allow u to download the image of the skins so u can have them as wallpapers or something????

[viscid swift]

No.

[soft raft]

However you can go to the wiki and just download the PNGs from here

[clear harbor]

Now you can have the idle screen on your computer!

[uncut ocean]

how do i get to the tulipa campaign?

[ivory pawn]

Try Battle and see if it’s the event banner.

Otherwise Event > Tulipa Event > Sortie.

[uncut ocean]

I've tried that, it takes me to venus rerun 🫠

nvm got it to work, weird that hitting sortie from the banner doesn't take me to it

[ivory pawn]

Something tells me Azur Lane was not designed to run three events at once.

Battle > Event Banner is the only method I can confirm works atm.

[onyx chasm]

What priority of UR do I wanna MLB

[viscid swift]

I'd Hold for now, CN Anni is in a few weeks.

[timid beacon]

WE are getting extra mogador copies

[viscid swift]

I already have Mogador dupes.

[sweet delta]

You don't have enough Mogador dupes.

[clear harbor]

Did the CN Annie stream happen already?
If so, did they announce dates for the new event and the Alsace rerun?

[ivory pawn]

No.

[untold forge]

Hey guys i want to make a mob farm fleet to farm stage 8 and below in main story and for the lower stages in events. For the backline should i go for no limit break erebus or ranger? Front would be cassione and/or downes

[inner delta]

farm with full fleet, get more lvs

or do polaris iirc the better place to lving if you aren't up to w12 yet

[untold forge]

Its just for mobs. I plan on having a seperate main fleet for stage 9 and higher because of the oil cap

[wind hazel]

you're not in the position to be making 2nd fleet yet

continue using your current fleet

[untold forge]

No wait i already reached stage 9+ on my old azur lane account. I plan on making a new one on a new server so my friend can have someone to play with. However i want to change the way i play and optimize because previously i just used my main fleet and didnt care about oil efficiency which is why im asking that now. I will focus on my main fleet on my new account but if they become tired and theres surplus oil of course i will use my mob fleet. Im just asking which is better erebus or ranger? Ranger is cheaper by 1 oil but im not 100% sure if i should go for her

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/home/home-page/

Have you given this a read.

[untold forge]

Oh neat. Thanks a lot friend

[viscid swift]

Also early game is not the time to worry about oil efficiency.

Let alone a low cost fleet.

[timid beacon]

Should I get this for Plymouth? It says debatable worth but I’d like to hear your guys opinion

I plan to have that and Rudder

[wind hazel]

used for some meta showdown, can get it, no harm

not as a priority item though

[hearty trout]

are new banner worth pull ? is this banner what people seek for ur ship ?

[viscid swift]

Check the pins and no.

[soft raft]

It honestly should be pretty obvious that there's no UR banner going on right now

[mighty hearth]

I'm confused on how to complete the clear SP1-4 in the commemorative awards section. I'm unsure why its not completing when I have them cleared

[viscid swift]

Did you try logging out and back in again? Did you make sure to farm the correct maps?

[mighty hearth]

I tried for SP4 on both vacation lane maps

3 star

[viscid swift]

Did you try restarting the game?

Also did you actually tap the appropriate item in the scrap book to claim them?

[mighty hearth]

I've redownloaded the game

[viscid swift]

?

[mighty hearth]

Its not letting me tap the SP-4 one in the scrapbook

[wind hazel]

screenshot

[viscid swift]

You cleared and 3 stared SP1-4 on the rerun maps?

[mighty hearth]

One second

I’ve been trying to claim the one for sp4

[viscid swift]

I'm gonna hazzard a guess that the way they're coded means you need to 3 star SP1 in order to get them even if you've already 3 starred Sp2, 3, and 4.

[ivory pawn]

I'm gonna confirm Cheeky's guess.

[viscid swift]

But yes, those missions are for the rerun maps.

Not the new ones.

[ivory pawn]

Because they're technically mission rewards, and unfortunately the 3* missions only unlocked after you 3* the previous stages.

[mighty hearth]

Ah I see, I will try clearing them in order

[wind hazel]

wtf potato coding g

[viscid swift]

Not in order, you just gotta get 3 stars on all the map stages.

[mighty hearth]

All?

[viscid swift]

I don't think it's Sphagetti coding given that's not how the Campaign Missions work. It's probably just intentional.

[mighty hearth]

Is it just the vacation lane and the vacation lane beachside brilliance?

[viscid swift]

Yes, all of the Vacation Lane rerun maps.

[true chasm]

What is expected to happen in the upcoming 9th anniversary? A new UR ship?

[wind hazel]

yes

[viscid swift]

2 New URs among other things.

[true chasm]

Dang, thats insane, thank you

[viscid swift]

One of them will be in the event shop.

[true chasm]

Woooow

Imma keep saving up then, thank you

[rapid grail]

don't tell the newbie you now need 8 purins per event

plus another 4 for the rerun UR in a week to a month after

[wind hazel]

you need 7

and 6 if you grind hard enough for 2nd copy

[rapid grail]

the dupe shop ur is for collection

[true chasm]

I only got 3....

[wind hazel]

well yes technically 8 if you include the milestone in the calculation, but 7 to be ready for the event

[wind hazel]

newbies don't do collection trophy

[rapid grail]

please don't tell me the game's gonna drop this event by the 3rd or 4th week of May

[wind hazel]

even as a vet, having a collection is stupid imo

[rapid grail]

i have my final exams 💀

[true chasm]

Why?

[wind hazel]

because it's a waste of dockspace and my money is limited 👍🏼

[rapid grail]

storage space matters, collection just clogs it up

[viscid swift]

Stream is on the 15th.

So probbaly starts on the 21st.

[ivory pawn]

On a weekend?

[rapid grail]

last CN anni events have 3 weeks runtime right?

[viscid swift]

Yeah.

[rapid grail]

oh okay then i can bust not log in for 2 weeks at most

[true chasm]

I honestly highly regret not coming back to the game when Lion came out. I started at around 2021

[wind hazel]

stream on <t:1778842800:F>

https://live.bilibili.com/7761331?spm_id_from=333.1387.0.0

[viscid swift]

Oh hey, a reasonable time for me.

[rapid grail]

no regrets waiting for 2 years. i did for aquila and nj

you learn to make do without her (and some). also powercreep ensures we will get URs that can and will rival her

[wind hazel]

yeah we will get Leopard and Tiger

[true chasm]

How long does it usually take for a much more op ship to trump Lion?

[rapid grail]

🔮

[true chasm]

Leopard and Tiger?

[viscid swift]

I'd say around 2 years max.

[true chasm]

Ah, dang

[viscid swift]

Sir this is a ship game.

[true chasm]

They should add a common ship that is made by north korea, worst ship ever.

You're not a military history nerd are you....

[cobalt gate]

so event ends today right?

[viscid swift]

Yes.

[cobalt gate]

wow so many things today

[clear harbor]

How often to events have an Shipgirl exchange ticket? That's pretty nice to have. I'll managed to clear the rerun banner with it. Still missing one Yukino from the new event. : (

[viscid swift]

Only collab reruns really.

[clear harbor]

I guess those are the ones that need it since those ships don't go into the permapool.

[forest palm]

wait does the Dutch rerun have less overall tickets?

[still knot]

Is there other ways on getting gems without buying it?

[plain saffron]

anniversary and whenever devs feel like giving some.
or get very very lucky on to get gems commissions then get lucky again to actually get it from the commisions

[still knot]

Kk

[thorn tartan]

I noticed that I have an x2 multiplyer on gem sales. Is that normal? I thought that was the end of the year/beginning of year deal?

[rain vine]

double on first purchase resets on respective server anniversary

[thorn tartan]

except i bought x2 gems last go around

[rain vine]

for every gem pack?

[thorn tartan]

oh all the packs can be bought at x2?

[viscid swift]

It's available all year around for the fist purchase of each gem pack.

[rain vine]

each one is a separate x2 on first purchase

[thorn tartan]

the other 2 events are still going..... until when?

[rain vine]

.

[viscid swift]

Does no one read patch notes or check the dates on the banners.

[thorn tartan]

i do, but i forgot what it said

alot going on lately

I think I got about 14 new ships in the last 12 days.....

[plucky ice]

On a mob fleet, which one is better to use, perseus or unicorn?

[thorn tartan]

Do i get more points from the hard x3 or the eazy x5?

Or can I do both with x

[viscid swift]

You can do both.

[whole crypt]

in most cases that matter Unicorn is better, in cases that don't then you can just use either

[exotic sorrel]

I got my very first wyvern do I give this to unicorn

[viscid swift]

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

This might help for future reference.

[whole crypt]

give it to the carrier that can make the most use of it, this can be Unicorn

[exotic sorrel]

Okay unicorn it is! It doesn't seem like there's gonna be one battle where I don't use unicorn at all anyways

[viscid swift]

Oh there will be plenty, mainly farming fleets.

[thorn tartan]

How do i get Perseus?

[viscid swift]

Special Pool.

[whole crypt]

Perseus is build only in special pool or special pool based event pools

[thorn tartan]

Is it new there because I've been missing her for about foreever now

[viscid swift]

She's been it since what, 2022.

[thorn tartan]

bad luck i guess

[whole crypt]

she's a 2020 ship

archive would at latest have been 2023

[viscid swift]

She reran right after they released Unicorn's retrofit.

[plucky ice]

just to make clear w14 isnt plane hell right so i dont really need san diego on my mobbing

[whole crypt]

before

aurora noctis rerun was just before radiant court and Unicorn's retrofit was added that anniv

[viscid swift]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief

San Diego is still a good ship for ch14 even if not for AA

[agile temple]

opsi reset is in 2 hours right 😟

[thorn tartan]

end of the month yep

[agile temple]

If I don't use my coordinates what happens, they just all disappear and i get nothing?

[thorn tartan]

but if you leave opsi open, you can play past the deadline

[agile temple]

SWEARRR?

[sweet delta]

they all disappear and give you currency you can use to buy coordinates next month

[thorn tartan]

coords that he used (and are on the map) aren't refunded are they?

[agile temple]

So I should just leave my game open to finish farming? Or is the currency for next month worth

[sweet delta]

it's even more worth to play the coordinates now and still have currency to buy more coordinates next month

the shop only sells a low number of coordinates

[agile temple]

how will i have the currency if i use them?

[sweet delta]

/wiki operation siren

[odd root]

No wiki pages found.

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

[agile temple]

Also I have been playing them but it's going quite slow, on a google doc guide i saw that exploring nodes is better than hidden i think so i have been doing the exploring nodes

Important Note: For most nodes in Operation Siren, you can leave the node, heal in port, and return without any penalty or additional cost. In terms of drop rates from highest to lowest, the nodes are ranked as follows: Arbiter > Abyssal > Stronghold > Explorable Node > Hidden Mode > Secured Mode.

[onyx flame]

i mean realisticly you should have finished everything by the end of the month

[agile temple]

I think I am ending up with more coordinates than I'm using cause im doing both explorable and hidden

[agile temple]

I just got to opsi like 10 days ago 😭

[onyx flame]

you already finished chp 4 of opsi story?

[agile temple]

Yes I did it yesterday

[onyx flame]

well crunch time then ig

[agile temple]

luckily my phone does not get that hot while playing azur lane like some other games i got

[thorn tartan]

i burnt thru abuot 2000 points the the last few hours...... end of the month/new event/finishing up old events/busy

[agile temple]

Also how strong should I be for strongholds? I tried it 3 times and kept dying so I gave up

[thorn tartan]

try again in a week when your ships are 20 levels higher?

[onyx flame]

you need a certain amount of adapt as well as your team being like 120? on avg
but you can always go in die then go back to port and heal then go back in again

[agile temple]

my unicorn is lvl 125 but most of my vanguard is like 110-118

[thorn tartan]

that should handle any opsi content, except the hard arbiter

[agile temple]

My vanguard got cooked by lvl 124 goons in stronghold

[thorn tartan]

you might need a 2nd fleet for some bosses with healing and stuff

[rain vine]

what were your adapts?

[agile temple]

I'm not sure, maybe around 100?

thats just a guess i have no clue tbh

[rain vine]

you need 188/188/144 for max advantage
with really good ships and gear, you can get away with lower

[thorn tartan]

I think the max useful adapt is 185 or so right?

[rain vine]

max is 203/203/156

[thorn tartan]

i didn't know that.... what is that last number for?

[agile temple]

I'm at 166/177/166 now after farming a bit

[versed forum]

should i continue pulling for last 2 rerun ships? have 406 cubes left and still have the selector

[rain vine]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Operation_Siren#Stat_modifiers

[thorn tartan]

which ones?

are you a collector? do you buy cubes?

[agile temple]

Do i got time bro

[thorn tartan]

hahah

[agile temple]

I focus the gold ones right?

[tulip tinsel]

prio 4-6 and get to clearing em

[thorn tartan]

yeah, do the best ones (if you can!)

[agile temple]

is that purple and gold

[tulip tinsel]

yea

[onyx flame]

they are pretty much just collection (doesnt count towards the collection stat) and we dont know if the collab will rerun again
there also a new ur coming at the end of may so it really up to you if you want to grab them im ngl

[rain vine]

IV, V, VI

[agile temple]

oh wait the roman numerals i didnt see that

[thorn tartan]

don't worry, you get to do this over and over and over again

[scarlet cosmos]

how many stages in the tulipia event?

[rain vine]

3 normal, 3 hard, 1 sp

[violet reef]

Do skins of collab characters never rerun

[scarlet cosmos]

rerun only if the collab happens again, otherwise no

[violet reef]

Also is she good or no

[violet reef]

Aw sad

[scarlet cosmos]

good but powercrept

fully limit break her though because you're already almost there

[onyx flame]

i wouldnt ngl

[scarlet cosmos]

really? i thought the general rule is to work on URs one by one

though if you dont use her later on in late game it does make sense not to pour anymore resources

[onyx flame]

ur bulins are better spent on the newer ur and perma pity has better choices unless those are already exhausted

[rain vine]

generally not a good idea to spend UR bulins on permanent URs

[scarlet cosmos]

oh yes i see now

[sour glacier]

Any girl of the old collab strong or useful somewhere??

[onyx flame]

collection

[violet reef]

if i dont hv better urs to mlb 🤔

[onyx flame]

📌 also got the info if you wanna read about it but their mostly just collection

[onyx flame]

we have a new ur coming in may alr, she automatically be a better choice than kron

[exotic sorrel]

Save your bulins

[violet reef]

when i dont h v coins are we fr :/

[exotic sorrel]

Yeah, it's so worth it trust me

[sour glacier]

Only collection?? Tenkyuuu. Ill let my cube alive till next UR

[violet reef]

also whos best aircrafter dps per ablity>? naki?

[onyx flame]

that just how it is for new/mid players for AL where da coin at

[violet reef]

i only spend money on skins tbh

[onyx flame]

depends on what context
since since certain carriers excel in certain armor types

[violet reef]

so like 3 lvl 125 ur aircrafters best ones i hv would one tap? or depends on ennemy armor

[onyx flame]

yea it also depends on armor type and in what case your using it like meta fights, opsi, campaign

[exotic sorrel]

I have UVH, Shimakaze and Krons too, I could mlb any of them but I chose not to as I was told to wait for the newer URs

[violet reef]

how would i know ennemy armor type if it doesnt say

[onyx flame]

check the wiki/aldb
you can also kinda guess it if the enemy is a shipgirl based off the hull

[exotic sorrel]

Speaking of which I hope the new UR isn't another battleship

[onyx flame]

we'll know when its the 15th

[thorn tartan]

what's the highest level in pvp?

[exotic sorrel]

You mean ranking?

[hollow gust]

Admiral of the Navy

[thorn tartan]

i'm at 145....... is that a rank?

[solar sapphire]

Hello again

Sorry to bother, but where can I check the times for the Dead or Alive Collab units?

[onyx flame]

wiki or aldb

[cobalt gate]

ugh i ruined the setup

lost 1k stamina + a lvl 4 siren

[tulip tinsel]

yea but kron not worth any bulin

[solar sapphire]

Huh? She isn't worth it?

[wind hazel]

no

[scarlet cosmos]

are there any meta ships worth raising?

[wind hazel]

jintsuu glorious kirov, and everyone that give good tech

wichita good too

[weary edge]

does it matter which classified mission logger you get?

[tulip tinsel]

no

[scarlet cosmos]

where can i find a UR tierlist

[tulip tinsel]

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

[onyx flame]

or suchi google doc

[wind hazel]

that's the same thing isnt it

[iron hare]

Is the monthly op siren fleet setup counts as a fleet change? If i change it can i do it again for free?

[wind hazel]

it count

[atomic abyss]

Counts as a free fleet change
So you can change again immediately

[iron hare]

Thanks 🙂

[fair mountain]

Wft, opsi reset deleted 2 fleet setups...

[scarlet cosmos]

is there somewhere i can go to see tips on how to beat op sci boss?

hard arbiter

[onyx flame]

it just build a fleet to deal with the armor type thats bout it

[iron hare]

Or just brute force it

[scarlet cosmos]

ohh people say the one that spawns jellyfish is easiest but i had a hard time with it

also, when is it better to use a CV over a BB?

[iron hare]

Farm some of the op siren stats first, that makes it easier. Offense, survival, tactical

[onyx flame]

i mean you should have enough fleet slot to just make both but it depend on gear mostly bb are easier to gear compared to cvs

[tulip tinsel]

doesn't matter when both destroys it

[uncut ocean]

hi

[umbral girder]

what is the best sub fleet now?

[violet reef]

Who do i mlb

[tulip tinsel]

how many ur bulin

[stoic horizon]

Fishpack (Flasher, Archerfish) and I-404 iirc

[umbral girder]

[wind hazel]

today is the last day

lets check what patch notes say

New Event
Available for a limited-time between 4/23 – 5/1, 11:59 P.M. (UTC-7)
Shipbuilding Support Plan – Vacation Lane (Log in to the game to get Build Tickets and event Pts.)

[tulip tinsel]

22.5hours

[exotic sorrel]

What makes Rafaello good for campaign? Js came across a video of a guy clearing full threat ch 16 using her

[wind hazel]

great sustain

[inland shoal]

So the skins are gone from shop one day before the event ends
How does that make any sense?

[whole crypt]

AL making sense you funny

[wind hazel]

it's dead or alive
buy or gone

[weary edge]

what should i aim to craft in gear lab after wyvern? should i go for the rainbow he bb gun? because the only he bb gun i have is the purple 406

[frosty cargo]

or you can take a look at this

[onyx flame]

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

[hard dock]

does Torp vulnerability also work for torp bombers / sub torps?

[plain saffron]

anything that scales from TRP stats, torp bombers scale from AVI(so nope), sub torps TRP(so yes)

though if this is about abyssal siren, those are bugged

[opaque monolith]

what are some good choices from the perm ur exchange, im about to hit the 400
i dont have ANY urs on my acc and still got the new player selector, i really like musashi so i was considering her

[onyx flame]

musashi is indeed the best choice

[opaque monolith]

perfect

these are my current two fleets, can i slot her instead of saratoga?

[onyx flame]

she wouldnt be going into any team until she's mlb

[whole crypt]

Musashi is "good enough" without MLB to replace Pennsylvania

[wind hazel]

2lb can actually replace penny, but you shouldnt invest UR bulin into musashi now. wait for May UR

[whole crypt]

levels would be a bigger factor

[wind hazel]

just dont use musashi for now

[violet reef]

Also why BATTLE PASS GIVE XP FOR PR 4 WHEN I HAVE ALL PR 4 SHIPS MAXED OUT
Update it

[zinc hornet]

whats going on here? tried restarting

[opaque monolith]

okay

its just gonna stay at 400/400 if i dont select anyone, right?

[violet reef]

Just open and close the game

[zinc hornet]

i did ._.

[onyx flame]

May 2026 Medal shop
Avrora -
Lexy - SS, CA
Washy - CA, BB
Sandy - DD, CV
Amagi - BB, BB
Little E - CL, CL

[jolly coral]

amagi - bb, bb

[violet reef]

Idk maybe try stopping it in settings then making it unstop

Or try to leave battle

[violet reef]

What is that morse code

[zinc hornet]

ill play around with some stuff

[onyx flame]

what hulls are in the medal shop for each server for the month of may

[violet reef]

Isnt in medal shop always the ships i own

Its usless

[onyx flame]

i mean if you own every ship from all the hull option cool for you?
this is for the wiki and for newer players

[tulip tinsel]

little e cl cl

[agile pewter]

When will lil e get BB again

[violet reef]

I hv like 69.1%

So its most i guess

[exotic sorrel]

Are the ddgs meant to be in vanguard mode

I got confused with the main fleet / vanguard mode button on the retrofit

[exotic sorrel]

DD, CV for Sandy

[tulip tinsel]

not that good on main fleet mode

[wind hazel]

yes but don't do that, just take musashi

[opaque monolith]

yeah ik i will

[stoic horizon]

Guessing I should either wait for the upcoming UR?

(I'm sitting on 41k core + 5k from monthly grindable (don't have it yet but meh) + Cruise Bulin = 12 UR Bulins)

[hoary relic]

since you already have mog and alsace who will rerun in may i suppose so uh i guess u can mlb lex 2 and hakuhou first

[wind hazel]

lexii amagi, save the rest

[stoic horizon]

Aye gotcha

[wide snow]

is there any optimal way to farm medals?

[ivory pawn]

Maybe farm 12-4 for Choukai drops, or event final hard stage for event ship drops.

Low oil farming event would probably be more efficient actually.

[onyx flame]

Just play the game tbh as long as your farming in oil capped stages you should get more than enough medals to buy out just about everything useful from the shop by the end of the month

[wind hazel]

<@&460646206851252224>

wtf hayai

[summer basin]

🏃‍♂️

[regal flax]

[inland shoal]

[undone plover]

Also I recommend u keep gear +10 and ask what is worth to +13
This gun is fine to +13

[quick mason]

Yeah I knew that's why I asked

Not tryna be rude

[undone plover]

All good bro
I am just mentioning it in case no one did before

[timid beacon]

Is Plymouth supposed to be squishy or is is just because the levels on her are low this is what I have on her and idk what else to improve

[viscid swift]

Where are you using her?

[tulip tinsel]

she's not supposed to be squishy

[timid beacon]

On the HT3 event map and she lowkey getting hurt a lot and I’m not having her in the front position

[wind hazel]

huh

[viscid swift]

Uh huh....

[wind hazel]

define squishy. what's her hp bar that makes you think she's squishy? like 50% hp gone?

[timid beacon]

Like 30% gone or is that normal I was also using unicorn

[wind hazel]

normal if you battle the elite mobs. maybe ate torpedos or laser zapping her ass, idk what's on ht3

[onyx flame]

ht3 shouldnt be that hard unless your doing a full 3 star first clear ig

[sick kettle]

maybe too much collision on auto??

[wind hazel]

can be a factor

[timid beacon]

Yeah I had it on auto guess I was just a bit too worried for no reason

[autumn marlin]

hmm...how dumb is it to put an interceptor on I-13 and/or I-404?

[timid beacon]

Never mind I’m not educated for this

[onyx flame]

wdym interceptor they can only equip seaplanes

[autumn marlin]

there is an interceptor seaplane

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Kawanishi_N1K1_Kyoufuu#tabber-Type_0

[wind hazel]

pointless

[autumn marlin]

I mean...AA is AA?

[onyx flame]

doesnt the bearcat float also intercept or am i a potato at reading aldb

[autumn marlin]

waaaiiit...does it? I mostly use EN wiki

[knotty dome]

I somehow only have 2 fleets for opsi, was there a change for this or something?

bug?

[viscid swift]

Most likely.

[autumn marlin]

huh...it has an interception stat, but ive never seen the bearcat auto intercept like the kyoufu

[knotty dome]

i'll try to reset my fleet i guess and hope i can get 4 back

[autumn marlin]

maybe my memory is just bad

tho i am curious, bearcat vs seiran on the carrier subs

[viscid swift]

Bearcat is better.

[hoary relic]

do we have any informations abt the new URs? like when?

[viscid swift]

When they release?

[wind hazel]

the only information out there https://game.bilibili.com/blhx/2026-ninth-anniversary/?spm_id_from=333.1369.0.0#p-3

[spice lily]

How do I use the BMPT-72 in BR 11.7?

[viscid swift]

Wrong Server.

[spice lily]

Mb

I forgot this is AL

[hardy geyser]

Hey guys, I don't have much space so I want to improve someone, who should I do?

[onyx flame]

without knowing the rest of your dock, tentatively i say enterprise and kazagumo

[hardy geyser]

Are you referring to URs?

[stoic horizon]

Just in general
Ships like Portland, Pennsylvania iirc are viable early game

[weary edge]

id say maybe shizuku too but it doesnt look like u farmed any of her copies which probably means u dont have her augment yet either (not too late to get it 👀)

[hardy geyser]

What is augment?

[weary edge]

this in shop, costs 3000 of the event currency

her augment, plus the fact u can farm up to 3 copies of her, makes her an excellent starter BB, even better than alabama and hood

[hardy geyser]

Yes, I bought them haha, I always buy those little things first even though I thought they were equipment

[weary edge]

oh okay great, how far into campaign are you? and did you farm copies of shizuku?

[rose whale]

how do I fix this? I already restarted the game a few times, and change to another device, but it still happen 🙁

I can't fight anything, event, hard mode, siren,...

[hardy geyser]

In the campaign 9-1, Although, to be honest, I haven't tried anymore.

[weary edge]

are you using an emulator? if not just retreat, restart the game, and try again

[rose whale]

I already did that a few times

still happen. can't fight anything at all

[weary edge]

that happened to me a couple days ago and i couldnt fix it either, but it eventually went away by itself after waiting

[rose whale]

[weary edge]

not sure if you can get that second copy in time, but regardless may still be worth building shizuku for where you currently are, and also as iamsogoingtolive said, kazagumo and enty, are the ships you posted all of your ships?

[weary edge]

you might just have to retreat, close the game, and wait for maybe like 20 minutes

[hardy geyser]

Only SSRs

And I'm sorry if I sound rough, I'm using Google Translate.

[viscid swift]

They're well past the point of using either.

[stoic horizon]

True

[viscid swift]

Mob: Constellation, Unicorn retrofit, Cowpens, Kurumi, Kazagumo, Reno
Boss: Kotori, Origami, Yoshino, Tohka, Helena, Yamai sisters

Something like that.

[weary edge]

does he need two fleets at this point?

[viscid swift]

I mean he's pretty much there already.

[weary edge]

true, also maybe he's just using copies, but @hardy geyser you shouldnt use bulins to partially limit break units, either max limit break them or dont limit break them at all with bulins

[hardy geyser]

I feel like I'm not any further behind in the game than I thought, haha

thanks for the advice

[viscid swift]

This might also be helpful.
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

For Gear Reccs.
https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/

[weary edge]

yes this also, when in doubt, refer to sushi's guides

[weary edge]

oh sick i didnt know he had his own ranking site, ive just been using that google sheets tierlist

[viscid swift]

It was launched a few months back now.

[weary edge]

isnt sushi also a main contributor to the google sheets one?

[hardy geyser]

I'll catch up on the campaign and see how it goes. Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to help me, have a good day!

[viscid swift]

He created both.

[weary edge]

oh bang

[viscid swift]

But yeah, the site is the main host for REGAL now.

[weary edge]

what's regal?

[sweet delta]

the link to the website totally isn't plastered all over the google sheets

[weary edge]

oh it's just the site name lmao

[subtle cave]

will this item disappear after this date? I just want for collection

[tulip tinsel]

yes

[burnt sentinel]

Hiiiii is musashi- Chan any good? I was able to get enough points to keep her but was wondering if I should limit break her????

[sweet delta]

depends on your BBs and their levels

[burnt sentinel]

Currently my back row is New Jersey and musashi

[sweet delta]

that tells me nothing besides that you made big mistakes

[burnt sentinel]

Those only high level troops I have lol I only been playing for four days

[burnt sentinel]

Yup I saw that before I just don’t have any SRs I wanna limit break currently

[viscid swift]

Huh.

[burnt sentinel]

O it says that limit break sr and elites can be better than unlimited broken urs

So I was just saying that I don’t own any SRs that I wanted to use my three bulins for yet

[viscid swift]

If your URs are 0 limit break then commons are better than them is what it says.

[burnt sentinel]

So I should just have my whole team be commons?

[viscid swift]

What no, just don't use ships you can't max limit break.

[burnt sentinel]

But I can’t max limit break any rn lol

But commons if I level

And elites I guess but idk which elite I should

[viscid swift]

Exactly, that's why you drop the URs.

[viscid swift]

https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/#guild_shop

[burnt sentinel]

Yes so I was asking do I just play it a whole team of commons/§elites

[viscid swift]

Early game more or less.

[burnt sentinel]

Gotcha

[burnt sentinel]

But what about my earlier question lol. What do u think?

[viscid swift]

She can replace Pennsylvania.

[burnt sentinel]

Is she good tho as an elite compared to other elites?

I’m wondering if she’s a good long term investment in resources

[viscid swift]

Suchi I think said she's about as good Nelson retrofit.
