She won't be used long term but none of the resources you'll realistically put into her will be missed long term.
Well I was just wondering because I have a few bulins and I really want to use them to limit break eversten
I don’t have evertsen yet tho but wanted to save the bulin
You've been playing this game barely 4 days, Purple Bullins aren't something you need to ration too much though I would still reccomend prioritzing the fleet you'll actually be using.
And Evertsen is shit anyway.
Ah I see
I thought someone said bulins were difficult to get
So I was saving them lol
SR and UR Bullins are pretty time gated.
Purple Bullins are pretty easy to come by.
Ah okay makes sense so I’ll save my SR ones then
At some point you will be inundated by purple bulins. I'm to the point where I keep a set amount of them for ships I haven't obtained, and then I retire the rest.
Two CL in the medal shop and don’t have any of them yet. I assume first I get is sandy but what about second?
What are these in the event shop?
I would say for new players, belfast if you haven't got her, good defense to protect vanguard, then sirius, she is one of the best vanguard carrier damage boosters
unique Augment for the collab ships
I'd say this is a good recommendation if you just ignore the Belfast part
Get Sirus for the other one. 
how important are they?
If you intend to use the ships very.
aight thanks
agir good as dps and tank?
She's been powercrept by newer ships.
Self Survival 1st Place of 7 CBs 

Anyone know what I should get for the UR exchange? I already got Vanguard
Still usable though right ? I like her design
Do you have Musashi?
No
Yes.
Get her then
Ok, ty
Are there any other options that I can pair with other than amagi and hakuhou?
So, I'm presuming that there is nothing to do with the arcade skin boxes now other than max it out?
You'll just have to cope a bit for the time being and leave her unbuffed.
Oof
level up your Lion, then you don't need Shinano 💀
I level up my shinano when lion isn't out yet
I'll send my shinano gears
REGAL also has gear reccs.
Doubtful.
I have the gear guide but I don't know the recc
Yoo I'm not really sure okay? Thos gears are generally used to any when I was here long ago
What do you mean?
I don't know the recommended gears for her
Choose based on what content you're using her in.
Its same site
It's the same site.
it is this
I only have this site
Its on this site where you was looking at this
For Kronstadt what’s better for her main gun she got through her event or agir’s main gun?
if both are the same enhance, Kron gun is better by this much 🤏
and it satisfies her NP gear requirement too
Her own gun, you can also refer to this in future.
https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/539
<@&460646206851252224>
Sure.
Fine enough for grinding I guess
Breguet should go in the third slot if that's what you have.
Alright
Something like this?
I don't have any other options for slot 1
I don't have the SR the uhh flackjack?
Flapjack is crafted
Yeah I don't have BP
In gear lab
Hardly, you're just not doing enough OpSi.
Playing opsi consistently you get enough materials to quickly craft a few
these shouldn't be too hard to pop out of tech boxes
I don't have 4 fleets
I have the purple
1st month in OpSi can give you enough for 2 flapjack and more. in my experience
Don't exactly need 4 fleets to do Operation Siren.
Ohh
2 fleets is fine then?
To start yes.
I guess I'll stick to this for now
I'll check my other ships to see if there are any mistakes in my gears
you also dont need to rush crafting flapjacks. there are a lot of other more impactful gear to craft before you want to start getting some flapjacks
Alriy
How is the yellow shell better than white?
Long ago here someone told me black and white is better than yellow for general use even for Royal Navy
That's not what it says.
on a good day it can give higher high. but as you can see it's "debatable worth" lol
They're placed on the same level as they're roughly equal in this context.
on average it is worse than white
Hmmm
Yellow Shell is of dubious value since it's only good on Royal Navy ships.
So from what I understand it is better used for the Royal Navy
from what i understand you just don't get a yellow shell at all
Yeah I don't know what "debatable worth" means
it means it is questionable in value
It means it's of dubious value to get.
Oooh
Is dubious is easier to understand than debatable?
Thx I'll use it now

wat
Does anyone know how will they handle with Archiving Guam's Event, considering there is a Laffey 2? Just wondering if she'd end up in the Perma UR List or on other areas like Core Data or Specialized Cores?
We don't know.
Fair
, just getting ahead of myself
medal shop was reset, should i exchange it ?
san diego, belfast, sirius, dido, dido u
San Diego.
what so good about her
The queen of Anti-Air, and there are a lot of planes in later campaign stages.
depends on what your other fleet looks like. mob or boss?
Very good AA, decent damage, decent bulkiness with her retrofit and unique augment.
She's set for boss
Along with my warspite that I just replace with lion
ooh nice, ok thanks
Also this my lion gear
They're already looking at REGAL mori.
yes and they turned into a mess
Based on what I saw in site
great job regal lol
What.
What.
same as this for lion, you can swap 1 of the UR table to a black shell to stagger them
It stacks?
what stacks
Oh you mean Vanguard I thought you mean my lion
no, lion use the same loadout.....
except change one of the UR table on lion or vanguard to a black shell
I only have one UR aux
ok now read...
My other black shell is lv 6
You might also want to read this.
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/#chapter-13
A progression guide for new and returning players, including how to farm ship levels, farm player levels, choose and enhance gear, and manage resources. Also covers fleet compositions by position and role for clearing Chapters 1 through 13.
every gear you are using should be +10 at ch13
Wait I don't have any more white shell
buy it, it's new month
I just buyed the aux
idt this is the position to push campaign ngl
@sweet delta Could you change "If enemy BB/BC" and "If many planes" to "If dying to enemy BB/BC" and "If dying to planes" for the auxes.
lol
Plus from I was on the site if there were too many planes I should use the High performance radar
I'm in chapter 13-1
Is 2-1 really the best place to farm urgent commissions/gems? Because I'm really struggling to get any urgent commissions at all....
you dont need it for w13
thats why you dont farm them
Yeah no Suchi's attempt at shortening the description led to some misleading interpretations.
Ohh
no fam it's event maps
Wait really?
You should only use the AA radar if you're **dying **to enemy planes.
I think 3 lines is acceptable
The chances are better in event maps?
no, because it's more efficient to do so
Ohhh
if you truly want to farm urgent commissions endlessly, do it at operation siren C1 loop farm
If you farm in event maps, you kill three birds with one stone. If you farm in chapter 2 or 3, you kill two birds with one stone.
That includes gems yes?
that is random
birds include
- commission farming
- event points
- your sanity
yes, it's up to chances, like everywhere else
I guess I'll use fire control for now for my lion since I don't have any other options
Where can I find this farm specifically
best method is to work at mcdonald flipping burgers for few hours, then buy gem with money 👍🏼
operation siren
I'm clueless when it comes to op siren
Damn
C1 Farming: This is a very hardcore, min-max approach to farming in Operation Siren, but it has its benefits. The idea is that, over the long term, farming C1 Secured Nodes can be a net positive in AP due to Mysterious Merchant spawns. This extra AP can then be spent at the end of the month on C3/C5 Secured Nodes, giving you more materials and significant bonus XP for ships you’re leveling. Note that this method is very time-consuming. It’s recommended to start with at least 1,000 AP, as there’s a good chance you may temporarily lose AP if you get unlucky.
maybe we need someone to make the strategic search picture
What fleets are you even planning to use for W13.
Wait
if NJ is mobbing, use a yellow shell on vanguard. or just use 2 CV for bossing, that will split the aux nicely
And why the fuck are you pushing W13 with an event rerun to farm.
we need to farm tulipa?
daily bonus can't cover?
Well, at a bare minimum.
Why.....
move nj to mob, enterprise to boss
Okay
and maybe switch helena laffey, or use better ship
I don't have any so I'm using them for now as puberty choice
you dont have alsace? lol
Wasn't able to get
Lack of money and pulls
I changed it
not like you cannot clear with this fleet, but maybe you have better options to choose from than these
I'll send my dock again
i'd level lion first as well
They do, just not leveled.
But like yeah, just wait a bit, make sure everything's leveled and enhanced first.
Not like W13 is going anywhere.
That's what I'm actually doing
And I'm actually building laffey 2 to replace my retro laffey
2LB laffey2 can work no?
I'm actually close to getting UR bulin
raise your kurumi, laffey2, independence, retrofit independence
But don't commit partial limiit breaks in future.
Go all in for Max Limit Break or don't.
There's one here
Sorry for dumb question but where is "special event comission"? I click to do it and it takes me to comission list but i dont see anything different?
They ended yesterday.
the one that has the pink event currency
oh wait nvm
Forgot it ended lol
We dunno.
if you're lazy you can even use your bearn meta
at this point i redirect you back to REGAL 
Just follow REGAL.
Yeah when I saw it
From what I saw in REGAL should I stack two tool boxes to my mogador ?
That's fine
Alright
you can also use this
or the 4leaf clover we got from previous event
basically any 500/550hp gear with good effect is better than a second toolkit
BLACK ROCK SHOOTER COLLABORATION?!!

SINCE WHEN?!
since you left the game
NOOOO 😭
Was last year or so.
Is there any reasons to keep Collab ships? any of them powerful or can do sth?
They usually don't come back
Better to have something and not need it rather than the other way around.
Anyways I checked the regal to review my gears and It's doing fine
They wont in Perm pool even when they had reran 3 times? 
But should I use warspite and nagato since they are almost High tier?
No because it's a collab....
Have you ever heard of any Collab characters entering the perma pool for a gacha game.
What no. Why.
Ohhh I just saw in tier list
These 2?
fleet composition matter. bring 3 BB to w13 and you will get destroyed. you need to understand the game mechanics than just seeing blindly at S tier
NOOOOO 😭
Something, something, read the section on W13 in the progression guide.
but i dont know anyone of them except Kurumi
I have a complete date a live characters
Your point being?
Kotori is apparently top tier in pvp
yes, unfortunately some collab unit, and even gear, are meta warping
🫃🏼 such a great game design
But im more surprised when I saw nagato being in A+ tier higher to my NJ in B+ tier
What
Again, context matters.
sounds like meta showdown
REGAL ranks ships in different content.
Ohhh
Nagato's value hinges quite alot on if she's buffing Japanese carriers or not
If she isnt, her value basically is nonexistent
we need a forced video tutorial and a test afterwards before people can access the tier list
There's a chapter 13 for nagato
Nagato with (good) IJN CVs and Nagato without them
ch13 is just bring carriers and AA
same as NJ
mb i misreading
for campaign, you only need your NJ and Lion. the rest can sort itself out with CV options
Oooh
Alright
And also should I still take anchorage? Because long ago here someone said I should get her
yes, great tank
Okay
So, what tier list do you guys use now. I used that one community one, but seems the person in charge stopped adding to it
Thanks
so the collab will be unobtainable instead of adding to the perm pool like non collab ships?
Yeah because they're characters owned by another company.
Granted, they'll make a return if another collab happens. This is the 3rd DoA collab, I bet they'll be back
Maybe the most recent characters but good luck running 3 events at the same time.
The fact that I missed black rock Shooter :c
yeah, 3 events is brutal
For f2p
so there is a chance ppl cant reach 100% collection rate or the collab just not count to the %?
collabs dont count
Collab characters do no count toward collection rate.
I missed Hololive and Neptunia collabs
They did use to count for the Anniversery summary so you could get above 100% CR but they stopped that eventually.
/wiki hololive
2018 and 2019.
who is strongest collab ship? Kurumi or? or depends on content?
We've had quite a few collabs over the years.
Is it true that Musashi does struggle against light armored enemies compared to most UR BB's?
Ohh I'm still young at that time
I mean yeah, she has no good IJN main guns to fight light armor bosses.
Ah that does make sense...
Outside of the twin purple ones, all of my guns I have on her are AP only
a lot of the collabs were reruns, sadly they only rerun not so old ones
Damn
There's been 3 collabs that have rerun.
Gridman, Ryza, and DOA.
<@&460646206851252224> got another bozo
who would i run with nakhi and soyuz for anti med? or since i have moskva i dont have to run soyuz. i dont have lion
no lion means you keep soyuz. run with fritz
oh i see, and what if i dont have fritz either
then you abandon it and go back to bb fleet
lol okay thank you
Kurumi will never be back will she 😭
chance is not zero
Do you guys convert the T1 Ordinance to T0 tier?
Because therefor you could maybe get 2 a month by doing so
From gold to rainbow? I mean you could but there isnt a lot of stuff you want to craft with rainbow ord anyway
there's stuff you'll want but it's a matter of priority
i did it to make like 3 more plyguns
not a regular occurence though
why aren't you a green name
Why wont it let me claim
day to day event reward
Ah
Fair enough but I’m not doing it based off PvE mainly as thematically because I’m grinding for super rare allow but I’m a patient person so I’m willing to wait for the daily raid because for now I’m not moving forward in opsi for a bit I will occasionally pop into opsi and if I see gold I’ll try to grind for it depending on what other stuff I may need to do atm like right now I’m grinding for affinity for NP characters and I’m an IB main so got a back log of characters to do with that as well also wisdom cube saving for Alsace and Brennus because I kept pulling flueret and had just used most of my cubes on rondo at rainbow’s end and that was when I first started sry rambling I’ll stop
I don't see how doing those things and OpSi are mutually exlcusive.
Considering you don't have unlimited amounts of oil or morale to burn through.
When you run low on either, just do some OpSi for a bit.
Is Changchun supposed to have a fast gun for barrage spam?
Standard dd guns
https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/255
does anyone know if the toolkit rules only applies when theres 2 of them or does it also applies to other healing auxes?
Only applies to toolkits iirc
Not the same skill so they do stack.
Is this comp good enough?
For what kind of content?
I mean it certain should work for an anti heavy comp but your nakh isnt done 
(Also swap kaza and z52 position)
Just building a cv fleet for boss contents 
No.
what is musashi chan's prefered gun
Standard BB loadout.
Hey y'all, I'm wondering if there is any updated gear list guide. The last recent one was in OCT 2025 on ECGC.
There is the quick gear guide https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/ by suchi as well as the newly created regal site (also from suchi) https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/
Thank you.
Just make sure to read the disclaimers/readmes 
55k impossible right?
45mins
how cheap can you push HT3?
iirc i just ran with uni + ddg and a 120 Oklahoma but it can prob go cheaper
MLB NVD?
ye lv120
subs and BB enemies were rough for main fleet when I tried 0LB
what are you saving for, it's once a day stuff
we're not getting Musashi-chan perm till last day are we
si
true
single run daily on all stages enough to get to 35k by end of event?
just hoarder habits, will probably end up with too much oil anyway
why does taiho need to launch first before other ships?
huh
like OG taihou?
her aug gives main fleet dmg boost
but using taihou is highly questionable in the first place
ohh i see ty now
also why is she highly questionable?
ancient ship 
she's not a strong ship, that's all
oh i just use for wife
How can I earn massive amount of gold
You spend a massive amount of oil running sorties as much as you can
typically 12-4 or 13-4
If I haven't reached 12-4 or 13-4 what stage do I grind at I'm still at 10-3
push to w12 is your best bet
even 12-1 is good enough
12-4 will give slightly more coin so if you can do until 12-4 then it's even better
later this month maybe 
when cn anni so basically end of may
we'll know more on the 15th
ok ty!
also thoughts on glowworm retro?
decent ship
when do strongholds spawn?
new month reset and monday
is it like 2 at start and 1 each week + do they reset monthly
yes
Hi, I'm a new player and have some extra event currency after getting the ships in the shop. Can someone advise me on what to spend the remaining event currency on (I have about 12k for both of the finished events)ù
chips and arrays, augment modules
What do you guys use your gold on mostly? I am always overcapped and cant do more limit breaks, just waste it on shipyard lvl ups?
shipyard is your prime target if you havent maxed everything out
research academy, buying catbox, refreshing cat talents, awakening ships when you have the cogs
also define overcap
i did that and i still have 200k cognitive left and 5k for 120+
200k you're not spending enough or you've been playing this game since day 1
100k soft capping your 80k max coin isn't a big deal.
when you are nearing 550k-600k, then you're overcapping too much
idk i play since some time,
but not since day 1^and not like everyday
that's crazy 
i play like casually, thats why i ask what people use stuff on cause i can imagine it change so much over the years,
just spend them on shipyard and research academy
why is mogador mid
i dont think she's mid. she's just not the best
In PVP, how do I choose which BB gun to use ? Shall I go for fastest reload, or dmg, or average ? I see the Twin 406Mk4 is advised, but i don't recall it being advisable for any pve content, so I was wondering how interesting it is to level it up.
classical pattern.
great on waifu side but mid at meta
but she is not mid
go to #pvp and read the pinned sheet, it has explanation on the gearing
is she only dps? I just called her mid bc i heard people say shes not a high prio
she had her use when we were lacking option for nagato meta, that's it. nowadays she's a good dps ship and that's all there is to her. endgame we tend to use buffer or ship great AA, so she falls behind
that makes sense, ty
Is Ibuki still worth getting if I only have JintsuuMETA
Also disregarding non-mlb Shimakaze
Should I use oleg
Hello
ok sometimes when i do daily exercises the opposite side has ships that fire out like lasers
is that a ship specific skill or can any ship do it and you just need like an augment or a gear or something
ship specific, like eldridge's operation rainbow skill
fuck
I'm at the pity for the UR.
I already have a Musashi, NJ, Shinano, Yorktown II at base LB.
Have 3 bulins.
Who to pick?
which do i pick between these 2
Don't spend em on Musashi? 😮
Keep waiting for Bismarck basically?
I would do the QUL
No, wait for whatever UR we get in 2 weeks
isn't the stream on 15, the event should be closer to 3 weeks away
I saw that date thrown around here, what does the CN boards say, cause I don't imagine Staff will post something 
given that's a Friday my guess is all announcement posts will come after that, up till the Thursday
fair reasoning 
at best we get some silhouettes and teasers, maybe
past two CN annivs released on tuesday for some reason
My Saratoga is 120 should I save my awakening mats for someone else
I do have Helena and San Diego about to be level 120 sooo
Ah I only glanced at the image and thought it was the event announcement, completely forgot about stream
Helena isn't particularly important to 125
Should I still keep my Nelson? I got De Zeven
Nelson is almost done with retrofitting too
Alright I'll save it for San Diego and the other yet to be 125 ones
Where i can see gear list in game ? 
what gear list
akashi gear list :o
you're not going to find any (useful) gear list in-game
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/
https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/
am i right that endgame players are never short on purple bulins?
if you think that hard about it you will feel bad whatever i tell you. and its personal preference so i cannot even tell you
yes, at one point all you can do is scrap them
I see, thanks
but we still get new elite ships, so you must be active for that to eventually happen
Alright thx!
what to do when you run out of red books 
u can probably find a showcase if u google it 
or maybe ask in #al-general
use blues 
Request help for - Opsi Fleet & Equipment for Fast Clearing each month?
hey is there a site/guide that shows which ships are safe to retire?
https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/ ig check from tech tracker for those that doesn't have good tech
thanks
Good tech being FP/AVI/ACC/RLD for backline
And FP for frontline
Cruiser EVA 
Oh yeah that too 
is wyvern better (by a lot?) than spearfish
Not really
It has better AA
But they both do similar jobs
Mainly mobbing TB
For ch15 I think ppl tested and it was similar performance
Idk if this changed for 16 but prob no one tested and prob not much diff there either
so do ppl just prefer building wyverns because spearfish requires rainbow ordinances?
they require like 9 wtf 😭
Yup
Hey for chapter 14-4 hard mode i got this fleet on youtube but i dont have the collab ship with what can i replace it with?
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief/ scroll to the bottom
First part of the Chapter 14 guide, with example fleets for auto and explanations of ship roles.
This is for hard mode
And what makes you think the 2 are so different that a guide for one would be incompatible with the other.
Don't know hard mode or something
Mechanically they are the same and thus the same principles apply.
Hi All, saw a youtube video where someone was using 3 common ships at level 70 and then a full boss fleet, to farm full event stages for 46 oil each - anyone know is this some cross fleet hax, or other thing.
Hard node enemies have higher stats and more HP, that's the gist of the differences.
Alright then i use the fleet from the site
Most likely yes.
can someone explain how this works,
crossfleet barrages do damage and the enemy dies
that's usually the best, sometimes NJ sees use depending on the map and your fleet.
Moskva and WDP are important for the boss battle to clear the first 2 waves so that Soyuz fully hits the boss.
adjust for yourself, you may need 1:1 or 1:2 or 1:3 and you may go up to T3 or HT1 depending on your strength
any recommended comp for current meta battle? one-turn kill preferred, thanks~
did you use commons cause cheapest oil
Ranger is the best among the cheapest main fleet, and Cassin Downes Z20 Z21 Oite are some 1 oil vanguards
yes, it was popular comp for event point farming before oil cap was a thing lol
ranger - cassin downes 0lb
I usually pick Cassin > Downes > Z20 dpeneding on how many i need
sometimes it's Cassin > Z20 if Z20's extra DPS helps clear the pre-boss waves, but that's not frequent
missing Alsace, any good replacements - also looks like shes next on rerun this month?
NJ as i said, and idk
literally none of the others have crossfleet 💀
did amagi cv already rerun
no
thank you dwayne johnson
iirc she's after alsace
I’ve tried looking and couldn’t find when I can discard extra meowficers where can I get rid of some?
Nvm it works the same way as enhancing
The strong eat the weak, that is the way of the meowficer.
What is a great sub fleet? Like, which three ships does it consists of?
Flasher, Archerfish, I-404
In this order too?
Any way to check more specific info like armor type?
turn this off
Ohh thanks a bunch I appreciate it
Uhh I wonder why Guam can't equip this cannon tho
Because she can only equip CB Guns.
Restrictions can be applied to both the ship and gear.
So that gun is equippable by CBs but if the CB (Guam) can't equip CB guns then they can't equip them.
No, it's a CA gun.
the game counts stuff >283mm as a CB gun
CB Guns are 305mm+.
oh was 283 also CA?
Yeah.
Technically it's 284mm+ but we're realistically not getting anything in that range so.
Doubt
for example brest can use this gun
And to prempt, every other CB can take CA or CB guns in their main gun slot. Guam is the only one that can only take CB Guns.
oh guam is special 
So that means, only one the CB equippable and must not have others included?
What.

So it's wrong tag then?
It should be both CA and CB, not just CB.
So about this is also wrong tag tho?
iirc it is only hipper class that can use these large caliber guns right?
No that's correct.
it is not wrong
it just means SOME CB can use it but not ALL CB
Huh
This is what you're missing.
Each ship's equipment slots has their own restrictions on what type of gear they can take.
For example. Agir.
oh it is these not hipper 
Versus Guam.
Isn't 283 CB?
It's a weird intermediate caliber.
How to farm a specific retrofit blueprint?
there's also missions that reward RBPs
sure doesn't help that there's two 283mm cannons of the same type but different conversions
What is more efficient? Grinding for PR5's Plymouth? PR6's Shimanto? Straight up Mecklenburg? considering I am too late to consider doing PR/DR ships above PR6...
or skip Mecklenburg and Nakhimov because I am unsure when is the next PR Season release
It's like August-ish usually, just keep focusing season 8 in research projects. If you get close enough to finishing Meck then you build her.
New PR is roughly mid/late July not August
Mid July.
Wasn't it with EN Anni? I must be confusing something.
No
Well fortunately I have Meck and Gouden, unfortunately for me I don't have BPs for them, and I am not a regular grinder
It was never part of any anniv
so it might be safe to say its Shimanto? also is she coinable?
It's not like there's much better to spend your research projects on, so you'll accumulate their BPs slowly then can think about whether to research 8 or 9 when 9 comes out.
For coining targets, Shimanto and Plymouth are both great, Shimanto for campaign and Ply for bossing.
wait Plymouth is Coinable?
If asking about who to build first, I'm leaning Plymouth slightly only because DRs take forever so the sooner she's built the faster she's usable. But getting Shimanto done will get her ready faster in comparison.
Ok let me consider my ship based on content then, thanks.
pretty sure that's for Fate Sim
That's it, I knew there was something.
Question again, which more efficient to craft? Startover to build Flapjacks? or upgrade my Hellcats to Tigercats?
upgrading is more beneficial in this case
it starts back at +0, but it also refunds about 25% of the coins spent, and 100% of the plates
I'd just go for Flapjacks if you have the resources.
The plates and coin loss is negligable.
Because you're gonna want to upgrade to Flapjacks eventually for the better AA.
I'll see to it then, but considering I just started grinding I might go for the former, unless Flapjacks are more easier to craft
Why spend resources on transitional equioment.
just explain it plainly, simpler to teach than to ask pointless questions
What.
Oh Tigercat is Transitional? I see...
In the grand scheme of things yeah.
Both cost Electronics, Flapjacks just cost Ordinance Reports too, so it's only a little more expensive.
This is my current dock. Anyone have recommendations on the best mob fleet and boss fleet to build and prioritize? I will be unlocking the free UR soon from the rookie missions (either New Jersey or Shinano). And I almost have the resources I need to get 2 pity URs from the upcoming anniversary event. Which would be the best picks for those URs as well?
Is the Wyvern and Bruguet the only torpedo bombers that can intercept?
yes iirc
- Did you get Shizuku's augment?
- How far is Saint Louis to dev 30
- Continue using 1 fleet
- Shinano is the better choice, but don't use her. You could just keep the handbook reward until you have a 2 LB Shinano ready.
- Don't do 2 pities on 1 event
- Don't even do 1 pity if you already get the UR
- https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/ https://azurlaneecgc.com/newbie_tips/
- You can level up Shizuku and Yukino for a second fleet IF you got their augments
Mob: Musashi Chan, Unicorn, Saratoga, Yukino, Attllio, Laffey
Boss: Tamaki, Enterprise, Ark Royal, Portland, Helena, San Diego
they should use shizuku instead of musashichan and anshan instead of attilio
Saint
Musashi Chan does around the same damage wise, has similar vanguard protection utility, and doesn't cost Gold Bullins.
is there still a guide for what gear to use?
Regal now has gear reccs.
Oo thx. ive used it to look at what ships are good, didnt know it had gear
wait... its not showing gear, unless i gotta do something specifi?
am i missing something? doesnt say wha gear
They're buttons...
Have you tried clicking on them
theres literally nothing there for me

def nothing there
What ship?
Are you on mobile?
no
What browser are you using?
I had a little green icon popup on my screen and it gave me some task completion item that expires? Does anyone know where I can find the item and what it’s called?
refresh the page?
opera
u fixed it, thanks
i didn't fix anything 
if the green icon popup was called "Comp." then the item is for Island Planner
well... i couldn't have known that would work, i freshly opened the site n new to using a pc, thanks though i appreciate it
I am trying to set up fleet for world 13 and this is what I have right now. I still need to level them but don't wanna commit unless the composition is decent.
Thanks!
This is my dock of what I have right now.
WHAT TO BUY IN CORE CHOP MO
/coredata
thanks
Mob: Intrepid, Unicorn, Cowpens, Saint Louis, Baltimore, Seattle
Boss: Lion, NJ, Enterprise, Eugen, Helena, San Diego
Reference this for what gear to use.

Thank you! And to answer your questions:
I did get Shizuku’s augment module but not Yukino’s. St Louis is dev level 22.
Should I swap out Yukino for someone else if I don’t have her augment? And is St. Louis usable now if I level her?
Also, it makes sense to save the ticket to see what I pull. What is the reasoning behind not getting 2 pities on one event?
It's a waste of cubes.
Once you get the UR dip.
i will try that thank you.
Save for the next event and limit break her through bullins.
Yukino -25% dmg without augment, not worth
I had to ask you all for help exchanging resource in the guild menu. I didn't realize there was a small button in what I thought was a larger button. 😭
isnt she the really really boring BB
Who should I swap in for Yukino?
just raise someone like z1 or shigure in the meantime
Which one is a better frontline. Brementon or Helena? I'm leaning more on helena thanks to the debuff but bremonton is tankier and an sr so i'm not sure which to pick.
you'll find more use in helena than bremerton
bremerton is also not tankier lol
nvm she is
🫃🏼 mixed up with helenameta
how fast does opsi recon's ap cost decay?
does FP/AVI stats effect CfB
CfB?
cross fleet barrage
Well the barrages still need to scale off a stat so yeah.
so that is why my Moscow CfB feel like it did little of dmg
What should I keep upgrading coz I'm very confused which ship is good and can someone make me a team for operation serin
Have you checked REGAL yet?
Might also want to consider investing in more dock space.
Kk
is the new ur coming this month or the next?
Most likely this month.
CN anniv is late May just wait for stream on May 15, event should be within a week from that
In UR exchange, who should I choose among Musashi, Vanguard, Yorktown II, and Implacable? Which one of them is a good pick for challenge mode? 
musashi
Who are the best support fleet members for w15?
fritz essex nakhimov
Essex retro...just for case
and her retrofit item is currently unavailable
There is Hwah Jah and Chen Hai Retrofit
depends on where you wanna use them
musashi will fit better with shinano hakuhou in boss fleet for campaign
you dont put unicorn in your boss fleet. she's permanently on your mobbing fleet
and i wouldnt separate shinano or hakuhou just to bring them to the mob fleet, that would be pointless
you can either
- musashi unicorn +1 on mob, shinano hakuhou +1 IJN on boss
- unicorn+2 on mob, musashi hakuhou shinano on boss
the IJN in 1 doesn't have to be main fleet. can be a vanguard
are they mlb? shinano hakuhou
how on earth do you still have only 1 fleet if you've been playing since hakuhou 
yes major league baseball
max limit break
then dont use them at all
then you refer back to this
🫃🏼 still doesnt explain why you only have 1 fleet if you've been playing since Hakuhou release
A progression guide for new and returning players, including how to farm ship levels, farm player levels, choose and enhance gear, and manage resources. Also covers fleet compositions by position and role for clearing Chapters 1 through 13.
you're fine
"wasting" ressources, any ressources, in this game, just means you'll start sooner waiting for them to replenish than if you had used them more optimaly to begin with. But you will get to the point where you are just waiting for them to replenish at the game's pace. You can't brick your account, just set you back a few weeks/months in a game where progress is made over months.
not worth using
But the drill is funny
Auto every times except on some EX stage
you get most of your early game gear from techboxes
the channel typically assumes on auto
manual makes the game easier which gives you more leeway if your struggling
manual only makes the game easier if your manual skill is better than auto RNG
what ship should I get from UR exchange?
hm, so are there any augments that turn yellow skills into offensive ones too?
i know red is offense, blue is defense, yellow is support, but i also know at times they spill into each other
augments don't turn skills to other types it just enchances them
the skill types are an artifact of older game design, a lot of newer skills are more multifaceted, and some don't even fit the assigned colour types very well
regardless nothing changes the colour of a skill, retrofits and augments may change what the skill does but the "type" remains the same
i meant effectively makes a yellow skill offensive
not actually changes the color
like giving a yellow skill an attack, but the color still remains yellow or a yellow skill that has a barrage or additional attack. Are there any examples of that in game?
North Carolina's augment does that, as do several other unique augments
aahhh ok
again, im just theorycrafting stuff and wanting to know whats already established in game
There are plenty of skills like that from the start.
hmm...are there any "ghost" interceptors or skills that grant interceptors?
Ayanami's retrofit barrage skill is blue 
wait, her augment or her retro?
Augment.
because her augment says its every 20s, not when she launches an airstrike
Indept's aug barrage planes have intercept?
oh aug skill
aahhhh
forgot that the augs had their own bonuses outside of just upgrading skills
the only other skill interceptor I can think of was uhhh was it Implacable or Yorktown II
then ill need to re-evaluate that too
I know it's kind of your thing but I'll also say they're not worth adding into any sort of serious AA calc
my thing?
the theorycrafting on whatever the heck it is
ah
its just one of the ideas ive been trying to experiment with for what im working on
and this is one of the only channels that can actually have a serious AL game mechanic conversation
believe me, ive trued AL-general. it always devolves to boobs
I know, I'm just saying on top of knowing said mechanics a lot of it just don't add up to very much to fuss over
well, im making a full stat and skill sheet for my azur lane original shipgirl character because...well, i wanna fully flesh her out
and the specifics of skills are what ive been stuck on, so im trying to look for inspiration in how existing skills and the like work
plus with how vague carrier skills can be, its hard getting refference data
and ive been told that outright asking the stuff that isnt strictly in game here isnt allowed-
Well, we do generally try to avoid speculation and headcannon here.
What do you mean by vague carrier skills?
well, like when the skill is mentioned on the wiki as launching a "special airstrike"
though i guess i should be using ALDB
I mean it's pretty self explanatory.
They're like barrages in that if you want to know what exactly the planes are, how many, stats, damage, etc you have to dig through 3rd party sites.
yeah...
i just wish there was a better way or place to ask for feedback and advice from people who actually know what they're doing and are experienced with this stuff
You mean theory crafting kits for ships?
mhm
Yeah I don't know of any such people, let alone community that exists.
The data for those strikes is available tbf
And discussing it is allowed afaik
Check barrage datamines
I think even aldb has the numbers
The section of the playerbase that is actually interested in the "gameplay" of the game is already small.
fair
theorycrafting a nonexistent ship is also just... a very niche thing
And honestley, there's not enough new content to stiumlate interest for theorycrafting new ships.
i know, unless its talking yamato
even Yamato
I gurantee you know one has actually theorycrafted out what her stats and skills will look like.
because it'll make no sense making her a carbon copy of Musashi
yeah, fair
Other than on a very surface level.
no one theorycrafts anything seriously because we have no idea what will come anyway
well, i guess in my case im not really caring about what will come or what actually will be implemented into the game. I doubt theyd ever actually add my girl anytime soon, and even then my thing would stay its own thing. But i just thought it'd be fun to make something that'd fit the history and mechanics well while also having a bit of fun with it, plus still trying to be realistic to what fits in with the pre established AL stuff
if that makes any sense
making something realistic and serious without the pretense or expectation of "THIS WILL BE IN THE GAME"
...maybe im being confusing im not sure, im sorry-
DO your showdowns to get sync points.
but yeah, im sorry for taking up yalls time
What is showdowns?
Mb I sent it twice
but yeah, ill move my thing to al-general. thanks for the help up to now tho!
Personally I am glad you show so much interest
If u have anything gameplay related we can help you for sure here so dont be afraid to ask
But as far as theorycrafting goes then I am afraid not many ppl here are very interested
Keep it up though 
thanks
just wish i could get feedback on numbers and realistic effectiveness of ideas
I mean for the gameplay elements it's probably fine to ask here.
thats what ive been wanting to ask about
For barrage numbers I am sure aldb had them
Can check those numbers and theorycraft from there
Ability 1: Code:Hikari
Same as her sister in game, When entering battle: launches a Saiun plane, then increases damage dealt by the Main Fleet by 5% (10%) for 10s.
Ability 1 (Augment Module): Code:Hikari - I-14
Provides the previous buffs, but im split between 2 ideas:
provides an additional Accuracy bonus to allied airstrikes
Replaces her seiran with the experimental intercepter version made around the end of the war that is able to intercept in addition to the 10% buff
Ability 2: Unnamed Red Ability
While the Aichi M6A Seiran is equipped, her first airstrike's bombs will be replaced with torpedos (equivilent to a standard torpedo-sakura T3/T0) that, when they hit their target, inflict a def and eva debuff that stacks with each torpedo hit. Still havent 100% decided how many strikes she would have or how they'd work
Ability 3: All Out Assault!
Kind of a given, but cant think of much other than a standard torpedo barrage akin to her sister in game unless there's anything special for I-404
I mean this looks fine if a tad underwhelming.
well, i mean, this is for an SSR level ship
and yeah, this is what i felt too. i wanna itterate on this some more
Though I do recommend u make a thread for future questions if that is okay with u
Just so we dont get ppl asking what these skills/stats are for 
code hikari i felt was a must keep due to the history and importance to the ship, seeing as it is a reference to their only successful mission
Throw in a few self buffs and she'd look plausible as a modern SSR SS.
yeah-
Submarines are effectively just stat sticks for the most part.
ah, so a thread off here or off general?
For SSR subs usually they are good if they work together
For example flasher buffs gato class
And the wolfpacks
Honestly I am not a mod
But I know for hyperniche stuff sometimes mods are fine as long as stays in threads and u stay on topic
thankuuuuuuu
Topic being gameplay related questions
for future shit like "oh yamato might have this and that" goes to #al-general but if its stuff that is on the game then no need thread
like properly fleshing out specific numbers and how'd something work in game?
yea that is what gameplay is
thanks, though should i still make a gameplay thread for this or can i continue here?
i mean you dont have to, but if its extensive then you can make one so it doesn't block people from asking
Can anyone with maxed BB tech screenshot this and send me it?
All relevant stats maxed.
do ships have base stats like pokemon does? a hidden base number that it scales the stats off of as it levels up?
thanks
for Rumey better using Gun / AA ?
Contextually dependent as always.
so, how exactly does independance's augment and york II's skill interceptors work?
in terms of their deployment and actually intercepting?
Independence's work pretty much work as the skill says.
but her's isnt from her skill, its specifically from the augment
well, i mean i know interceptors will automatically come out when enemy planes are onscreen
maybe its my lack of knowledge of interception mechanics as a whole
And interceptors do have their own cooldowns.
these are interceptive airstrikes, not like equipped intercepting airplanes
just ignore the "interceptive" word
Independence's ones from her augment are specifically only launched when she launches an airstrike.
and all those do is shoot down other enemy planes?
effectively, "interceptive airstrike" is the same as the usual barrage "special airstrike" except that "interceptive airstrike" doesn't do damage to ships
Yes.
if you don't have exams, go write more ship descriptions
so are there any instances of auto-intercepting planes that come from augments or skills?
Not that I know of.
Was shimakaze event banner 2 cubes per build?
Its not going to be anymore unfortunately
yeah, shame
Is there any CL with crossfleet?
given we have no event UR CL
nope
Tragic
so, why dont people use the seirans on the SSV's when they have such a huge stat bonus from it?
like why exactly is the bearcat better?
also...how does interception work on something with 0 AA?
Because the Bearcat has more AA guns (which also have way more damage & faster ROF) and can intercept
Also SSVs still have AVI stat so idk what you mean by that second question
Doesnt interception go off of the AA stat?
Because Bearcat does more damage even with Seiran's skill.
if not, then why do carriers have an AA stat?
AVI stat.
AA stat reduces crash damage from enemy planes.
^
huh, never knew that
also, does anyone here have more in depth knowledge of hidden skills?
when it comes to planes, whats better for bombers? One big bomb or lots of smaller ones?
Really depends on the stats of the bombs themselves.
Torpedo bombers or dive bombers or fighter bombs?
It’s more like
it's just damage, count, spread, and splash
hmm...well in this case, im comparing "2 x 500kg Bomb T3" vs "1 x 1600lb Bomb T3"
expand the actual damage numbers
like, i guess in actual performance in game which one of these would be more preferable?
Yo anyone know if Albion is currently obtainable
I wonder
good tank to replace portland ?
Depends on what you have.
Agir/Achorage are the 2 easiest ones to get
Best gun for musashi here?
My issue is she almost keeps dying to suicide boats on 9-3
Well all of them are PRs/ DRs as far as "farming" goes.
where are you content wise?
Just finished world 9 but I think I am over leveled enough to clear world 10
no oil currently
If you haven't, look into to making a second fleet and worry about replacing Portland after you've reached and cleared 12-1 That's one of the best xp farms in the game.
Are there any settings to set quality to low or something? Only FPS setting is there
no
cog array and chip
Is this any good
NO
Any particular reason?
long ass reload time
Any gear worth getting in that new perm event in war archives?
nope
yes, but its not from the map drop
Isn't it this one
ah, unfortunate
It's this one that shows in drop map
thats not the map drop thats shop
that one prob going into core shop 
So this means... Marellaise is getting added to perm right?
yes
I js looked up on wiki the ship drops and gear drops doesn't look like anythings worth the time getting there
War Archives almost never has anything worth farming
Isn't hvar like the only thing that's worth farming
I said almost. either way it may end up in gear lab
What abt the HVAR
Wait I remember the guide says you could have one but it's not like overall super important to get
lmao
a lot of gear that drops in War Archives tend to get pushed into Gear Lab 
so the mode itself is more for Ship Collecting, and CMD XP from Muse Events if you're sub world 9
Gear Lab most likely.
What about the washing machine? I've been farming 4k worth of oil everyday for it
Just get it from research.
blue rudder is there if you need a transitional piece
I think those were all before their factions existed in the gear lab.
that makes sense 
Core Data will mainly be for aux gear at this point.
3rd Gamer table when Manjuu
is there rerun/events upcoming next week? pls dead week
check #game-news , but looks like a dead week
how often do reruns happen?
usually 2 years or more after original run
has 2 years alr passed for the current re run? bc i swear it's only been a year since
anthem of remembrance? it's not a rerun it's just being added to war archives
im pretty sure for URs reruns are >=2 years after original run, then another >=2 years to perma, idk if that applies to nothingburger events
their talking about seas of tulipa
that one was fast tracked
yeah that one
ah
are those also 2 years for reruns or less
it's really up to devs they can just do whatever they want, but usually ~2 years
Would it be a fair assessment to describe Moskva as being better than Agir in all categories that Agir is good at? Also does anyone have any sort of rule of thumb method for understanding how the stats Luck, Hit, and Eva interact ?
for 99% of content these days op ships trade durability for dps and buffs. Agir hasnt been meta relevant in endgame for years
for luck hit and eva it not worth looking too deep into it
the interaction isn't that complicated, you just have very little control over the options for EVA and LCK
This is relative eHP increase for a LVL 125 ship with 60 EVA and 50 LCK, against a LVL 130 enemy with 25 LCK and 125 HIT.
The blue line is the eHP increase from additional EVA.
The red line is eHP increase from additional LCK.
The white line is eHP increase decreased enemy HIT.
At this scale, 3 LCK ~ 1 EVA.
And 2 HIT ~ 1 EVA.
huh...Eva is rather flat 
At the scales relevant to eHPmaxxing, (ΔEVA and ΔHIT of less than 60), I would say that linear is a reasonable approximation.
That is indeed where the impression that HIT vs EVA is a tug of war comes from. I don't think that notion is incorrect.
the fastest you can claim and oath Musashi-chan is on day change to Wed?
I don't see any red 
I'm bolor clind
I love typoglycemia
To answer the original question, Moskva's LCK and EVA are superior to Agir's. Agir is good at tanking, but Moskva is not better than Agir at tanking, due to more factors than just those. She's a little worse. Just a little.
Damn I look into GPH for the first time and I see people pull out graphs to check for when the ROI on stats isn't worth it
There's genuinely levels to this
What about ACC? What makes it different from HIT?
the stats? they're the same thing, but EN translation 
So. I'm planning on clearing my dock for more space. Who should I keep or scrap?
kid ships scrap
how can i get more ur upgrade parts? this is probably the rarest opsi mats, i want to +13 3 ur gears 4th pending 270/360 
Gold plates? Practically everything besides clearing regular zones has a chance to drop some, and regular zones might have cat nodes that can drop some.
Rainbow plates? Port shop and cat nodes, good luck.
The one with -chan?
chan, little etc
"luck" im dead
Port shop at least guarantees you one or two each month.
I'm the only one that does this don't worry you are safe
ok. beside them, anyone i should scrap?
you can limit break some purples
most of them are for collecting tho
buy more dockspace
you will run into the same issue within weeks whenever a new event drop
the only 2 viable choice for buying dockspace atm is through gem shop or guild shop right?
yeah. guild shop is also hard-capped, so eventually just gem shop
those are the only methods yes
honestly, you should get enough gems f2p to not have to worry about it for a while if you spend them on dock space 
Btw. The current ship girl event worth pulling?
pins. tl;dr: only if you have cubes to spare
I only have around 120 cubes so I guess no since I heard anni is coming close with 2 UR
yeah, you'd probably want over 400 cubes to waste them there. there are still some tickets to use, spend those at least
