[exotic sorrel]

Yeah the tierlist is mainly for themselves methinks

[timid beacon]

We got lied to now we get extra stuff surely

[timid beacon]

(Hopefully)

[exotic sorrel]

Some ships do have combos included though for more info on that

Why would you want Essex over Enterprise who's been the main face of Azur Lane + Eagle Union

[agile pewter]

If there are multiple airstrike/cannon/torps ready how does the game decide which to shoot first

[wind hazel]

does he know

[exotic sorrel]

Positions I think

Flagship > Top > Bottom on main I think? Then for vanguard it's bot>mid>top

[tulip tinsel]

position

[exotic sorrel]

Unless I'm wrong on the order

[exotic sorrel]

What exactly is Mogador's best scenario to perform in? Her stats look kinda bad for me as an UR ship...

[tulip tinsel]

bed

[viscid swift]

https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/642

[wind hazel]

her best use was during taihou meta, but that is irrelevant now with new ships that can work better

smelly girl is past her prime

[exotic sorrel]

Getting outdone in your only niche is kinda sad ☠️

[viscid swift]

The niche was never that useful anyway.

Either way, she was practically unusuable on release, that had to patch her 3 times post release.

[exotic sorrel]

When you put it like that it sounds like she's just as bad as the worst UR ships in the 400 perm selection

[weary edge]

first line in description is "horniest ship in the game" 😭

[viscid swift]

I mean she's down low on the priority list yeah.

[weary edge]

it seems her gun is more useful than herself

[exotic sorrel]

It's also kinda ironic knowing Shimakaze has some better use than her too

[wind hazel]

i beg to differ, she has no horn, i'd personally say mogami or hiei is hornier...

[viscid swift]

It is.

[viscid swift]

Haha, no. Shima get's boxed by SRs.

[sweet merlin]

servers still down?

[viscid swift]

Did you read the announcement in #game-news

[exotic sorrel]

probably another extension hopefully not

[weary edge]

when they're back up it'll say in #game-news

[exotic sorrel]

Assuming you don't have Hakuryuu or any of the UR IJN CVs, would Shoukaku be one of the best contenders to pair with Shinano?

I saw someone on yt do a run with Shinano/Shoukaku/Akagi and was js curious as to why Shoukaku over Kaga..

[undone plover]

She was better than kaga anyway iirc and then she got buffed with augment

And I assume that was akagi muse since akagi is also bad

[gilded hare]

Ooh what a coincidence topic, I just finished using up my oil for the fox sisters and got both of them!

[wind hazel]

it sounds like a terrible fleet either way

[hollow gust]

well dont bother using them cause they are shit

[gilded hare]

I'm using Akagi right now and replaced Saratoga, is she any good?

[wind hazel]

read the sentence above you

[mighty tulip]

Sara retro is better

[hollow gust]

saratoga without augment is already better then akahi

[exotic sorrel]

You did what 😭 i js told you to keep sara

[gilded hare]

Oh nevermind

[undone plover]

Check tierlist

To know which ships are worth investing in and using

[gilded hare]

Soo that means Nelson won't stay with me for a long time then

[weary edge]

probably not till you get a UR to replace her

which will probably be the next one in a couple weeks

[mighty tulip]

I used Nelson for a bit until I got a better gold BB and then my first UR BB (i’ve been playing since Dec)

[tulip tinsel]

alsace and random new UR soontm

[undone plover]

Is it “confirmed” it will be double UR from the preview?

[weary edge]

i mean last two new mainfleet URs have been CVs so i think a BB is probable

[weary edge]

oh wait was there a preview already

[tulip tinsel]

nah we get a new hull called nuke

trust

[weary edge]

dont we already have indianapolis

[wind hazel]

maybe. but also maybe it's an elite because god knows what the fuck they are doing lately

[tulip tinsel]

100% IB

[weary edge]

look at the horns

[tulip tinsel]

hell yeah

[viscid swift]

Their rigging is more of a dead give away.

[wind hazel]

oh yeah? the british can't grow horns, is that it?

[tulip tinsel]

yes

[wind hazel]

where do you see the rigging

[tulip tinsel]

time machine

[sweet delta]

In the image you posted

[viscid swift]

Can you give me the link to the website?

[weary edge]

UR battlecruiser 😍😍

[sick kettle]

the Chinese really could use a ur-

-# yeah they could wait a bit longer ig

bruh i cant see shit lol

[weary edge]

yay maintenance is over

200 gem compensation 🔥🔥

[wind hazel]

what does this mean 🧑🏼‍🌾

i heard somethingsomething sub from my guild

[viscid swift]

This mount, appears to be a very specific one, used on the Type 21 U-boats and only them.

We might be getting another UR Sub.

[wind hazel]

wolfpack is back

[onyx flame]

1.4gb followed by a 5.4gb download damn island planner going at it

[weary edge]

i just completely removed it from my game lol

[signal fog]

this week is dead week ?

[weary edge]

yeah, cn anni coming soon tho 👀

[signal fog]

i see

[soft raft]

That better be shop UR

[sweet delta]

Is next week dead week?

[weary edge]

lowk i hope i need to save more cubes

[viscid swift]

Should be the event Call to Arms.

[sweet delta]

So dead week?

[viscid swift]

Yes.

[sweet delta]

How about Alsace rerun

[viscid swift]

Unlikely, JP patch notes didn't mention anything.

[sweet delta]

Alr I'll take a housii and a fujii

[hard dock]

Is this week dead week

[sweet delta]

🙄

[wind hazel]

sir it's Friday

[viscid swift]

Yep.

[wind hazel]

oh 52 skin is free? nice

[sweet delta]

Is enhanced unit meaning cog arrays?

[wind hazel]

snail yo mum

[viscid swift]

Probably a PR Catchup.

[wind hazel]

this new?

[viscid swift]

Yes.

[plain saffron]

yes, added this patch

[plain saffron]

30 bp for a ship thingy

so that's how it's used, i guess no more TB stopping you now?

like when done cat nodes

[viscid swift]

yeah, JP mentioned something like that.

[plain saffron]

anything that make opsi less annoying is a

[tacit wyvern]

is there a way to unbind an email from an account you don't recognize?

[onyx flame]

email support about it

[smoky quest]

Where did juustagram/messaging thing get moved to

[gilded hare]

Should I keep my Nelson over any other potential Super Rare Battleships I can get?

[weary edge]

depends what the battleship is, nelson is pretty decent early

<@&460646206851252224>

[crystal ore]

Is she good. I got it at the end of the even

tthat's a yes tthen

[covert dagger]

She is one of the better AA carries for plane hell maps. Not as good as San Diego but about on par with Shimanto.

[crystal ore]

Aw. I already got retro Sandi

[covert dagger]

Well for plane hell chapters you will need a dedicated AA carry in each fleet. So Sandy could take the boss fleet while De Zeven can do the mob fleet

[crystal ore]

ok

bttw. If I train in dorm, do it raise bond lvl or nah?

[covert dagger]

Sitting in the dorm will slowly raise affinity

[crystal ore]

The training or resting?

[stone lava]

training

[covert dagger]

Training only i believe

[crystal ore]

Ok thanks

[covert dagger]

As far as i know it will only go up to a point. You have to actually use them in battle to get the last bit of the affinity

But its a good way to take a ship from no affinity to at least good likeability

[viscid swift]

That's the secretary slot.

[covert dagger]

ahhhh i was mixing those two together in my head

[sour hollow]

I started today, is Musashi chan unobtainable for me?

[viscid swift]

You only raise affinity in the dorm if you get the event and even then, the increase is miniscule, Thorin did some testing of it a while back it took so many of them just to raise the affinity by 1 level.

[viscid swift]

Impossible no but you'll be on a time crunch.

You might wanna give this a read.
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

[sour hollow]

Way ahead of you :) Thanks though

[crystal ore]

which BB I should buy?

[weary edge]

alabama

[onyx flame]

alabama is you dont have any good bbs
if you alr got decent one then its just for faction tech

[weary edge]

true, i was just assuming since if he’s asking, he probably doesnt

[crystal ore]

this is the current BB I have

[weary edge]

ok looks like im wrong lol

shizuku is strong for early game since you dont have musashi mlb, you can probably just use soyuz for now tho

[crystal ore]

Planning on lettting Soyuz replace penny

Btw. Biskmask is also for tech point right?

[onyx flame]

og biz yes

[viscid swift]

They're all just tech fodder.

[fleet marten]

Unsure if this is the right channel to ask this but, If you haven't logged in for a while, Until when does those Mail Update Compensation stay before it dissapears after said time?

[viscid swift]

You're asking if you'll still get mail compensations even if you don't login for the update?

[crystal ore]

Damn. Then maybe i will wait until there are enterprise I can get her

[fleet marten]

This yeah

[crystal ore]

On the other hand. I already got shinano

[viscid swift]

For the vast majority you need to login during the update to get them.

[spice idol]

I’m level 78 and need 2 levels until I can do chapter 12. Is the best way just to do 11-4 over and over?

[viscid swift]

Well 11-1 but yeah.

[spice idol]

Ok thanks

[whole crypt]

the new TB thing is kind of annoying

[regal flax]

i just got lvl 60 how do i get meta repulse?

[viscid swift]

Gotta do Operation Siren and unlock META showdowns.

[soft raft]

Note that you'll have to complete her fight like 10 times to get the 1st copy (500 pts per dossier fight & 1st copy @ 5k points)

[sharp comet]

is the new account link method implemented now?

[native folio]

can someone help me make a good team?

[eternal basalt]

Make a thread, post screens there

[viscid swift]

You might want to give this a read.
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

[native folio]

Creating team

[native folio]

^ can anyone help me, thanks!

[untold sierra]

Are these the new ships that will arrive? The site you posted shows the new ones that will arrive.

[undone plover]

Ships and possibly skins

[soft raft]

we'll get reveals during the livestream next week

[native folio]

How do you level up a ship? I'm in the enhance tab and I used the fill button but the level didn't go up

Is musashi-chan a temporary character? It will leave my fleet after the event?

[viscid swift]

The enhance tab is to enhance some of their stats, you level them by grinding with them or feeding them XP packs.

[soft raft]

Tempoaray unless you're able to grind enough points to peramently obtain her

[viscid swift]

And Musashi Chan is a non-permenant character if you don't unlock her before the event ends.

[native folio]

im new, it doesn't seem good to put resources into her if i cant obtain her?

[soft raft]

Musashi chan probably sucks ass tho so eh, not a big loss if you miss her
I certainly couldnt be bothered to care

[gritty spear]

Since Yostar has been played their own "little games" with accounts, I’ll take this opportunity to ask about something I keep forgetting (though more for confirmation than out of doubt): Is it possible to change server AND keeping your progress? Probably not. So it’s a useless option in the game, but it’s there, so that’s why I’m asking.

[viscid swift]

About as good as Nelson retrofit.

[soft raft]

No
Each server option basically functions like a different save file

[soft raft]

Dang that's actually not half bad for a chibi ship

[signal path]

Any Good PR3

[undone plover]

not really
do sth easy if u only want it for this mission
odin and champagne are good 120 tech

[forest palm]

pretty sure Cheshire is the only usable PR3 ship, and that's kind of stretching it

[signal path]

I cant develop any PR3 😭, I need more HMS Tech point

[undone plover]

they have different requirements not all of em need HMS tech

[signal path]

I have 1k+ USS but others just below 500 😭

[undone plover]

and u can come back for this mission later it is fine

[signal path]

Yeah but Cheshire is the one closest. Iron Blood Tech pts are much lower

[undone plover]

u want HMS pts for plymouth anyway

so can start working on it if u have spare resources

[signal path]

Can I move on without finishing it?

[undone plover]

MLB some HMS ships for pts

[undone plover]

iirc u can finish the other series missions but not sure sry

[soft raft]

I don't think you can

[woven star]

She has good fp and gun efficiency with 100% barrage skill. Even can improve as flag. Her rld sucks even with 10% buff but second skill decrease vanguard dmg little bit and has very good hp pool. Between other chibis she's looking strong

I ignore her too. But for beginners she can be good flag if ofc they can get 10k points which yeah... suck

[safe nexus]

Is any stage above 12-4 gives more exp and coins? Where 13-1 gives more exp and coins than 12-1 and 12-4?

And what's the reason for the 1:1 fleet for chapters like 14 if it's only meant for safe difficulty when it has cost limit

[undone plover]

1:1 above ch12 is mainly for cog chips and major sweat territory

and honestly probably not worth for 99% of ppl

[soft raft]

What? People 1:1 W13+?
That sounds difficult even on safe

Also why tf would you even do that when oil cap

[undone plover]

i was told volga hamman ii 13-1 was a thing for cog chip farming

[soft raft]

Technically higher world = more rewards, but the increase in difficulty means it's harder to grind lvls for low rarity there compared to W12

[weary edge]

isnt the oil ratio also just better on w12

[safe nexus]

I see thx, if I want to grind coins ideally what stage is best then?

[weary edge]

12-4

[safe nexus]

Even if the difficulty doesn't matter?

[weary edge]

im pretty sure the oil-gold ratio is best on 12-4

so unless you dont care about saving oil, then just do the highest stage X-4 that u can

[safe nexus]

OK thx, also is it possible to tell a torp bomber is target or parallel in game or I need a wiki

[jolly coral]

oil-gold ratio is better in 13-4, 14-4, and probably 16-4, but they're all dramatically harder to clear than 12-4

[weary edge]

actually id also like to know bc so far i cant tell either

[weary edge]

oh really? i remember seeing an old chart that showed the ratio for all the worlds

[jolly coral]

sakura, ironblood - all aimed
vit-2 mode change - aimed
everyone else - parallel

[undone plover]

just check this

[weary edge]

i cant read

[safe nexus]

Never expected its that simplified lol thx

[safe nexus]

Got a translated version?

[nocturne zenith]

For the dorm.
Is it ok to buy a set if I have like 1400 decor points
Or nah?

[undone plover]

not rly
u can try running it through google but the translations are awkward since it does literal translation which probably doesnt make sense

but first column is coins/10k oil iirc and second column is some sort of xp ratio

[safe nexus]

I think it's best you buy enough until the exp boost barely increase anymore than you can buy anything oyu like after that

[undone plover]

should be fine
u can try min maxing comfort by going through the categories and picking highest ones but honestly it doesnt matter much

[safe nexus]

I did use something like that before and it's ugly and sometimes impossible to read

[undone plover]

if u care about coins then u only need to compare the first column

u can also check here https://suchiguma.github.io/deepresearch/auto-search-exp-and-coins

[safe nexus]

Oh nice thx

[nocturne zenith]

So buying separate furniture is better but its still acceptable to make it cute and let the ships have fun...

[undone plover]

yeah pretty much
buying separate CAN be better in the short term
long term u will hit a practical cap of ~80% xp boost anyway so doesnt rly matter

[safe nexus]

Im already at the point buying more barely do anything so I just buy anything that's limited lol

[undone plover]

dorm xp is cope anyway so if u want to buy a set and u like it just go for it

[nocturne zenith]

Thanks people

[balmy willow]

May be the wrong chat to ask: anyone else experiencing laggy gameplay since the update? Feel like this isn't too uncommon with Azur Lane but wanna see if anyone else is having it or if it's just my phone?

[mighty tulip]

Is there a daily recommended amount of BPs to buy for coinable DRs like FdG?

[sweet delta]

10 for 7200 coins , adjust based on your farming amount and ongoing events

[mighty tulip]

Also did not realize I could buy BPs to Fate sim Anchorage as well as coin FdG… that’s cool

[solar sapphire]

Hello again

Sorry to bother, but what is that is that thing about secrets?

[viscid swift]

They're a ~5 minute asmr video.

[viscid swift]

I haven't noticed the game being particularly laggy.

[solar sapphire]

Oh, thanks, do you need the ship for unlocking it?

[limber oriole]

No, just tickets. I think you get 1 every month or something and you can get them from the shop, iirc

You can also use gems i believe

[solar sapphire]

Thanks, I was curious about it

Is this a big update by the way?

[wind steeple]

can you still get Eldridge retrofit item ?

[forest palm]

currently unavailable, probably comeback for EN Anniv this August

[solar sapphire]

What about Essex item?

[soft raft]

Wouldn't it be Essex item that reruns this year and Eldridge item being added to Protocore

[wind steeple]

is it still fine to use her non retrofit skill?

[solar sapphire]

I assume it should be ok if you raise her if you plan to retrofit her either way

[forest palm]

Eldridge without Modernization is ass

same for Essex

[wind steeple]

dang alright

[solar sapphire]

I use Essex without the retrofit and I'm awaiting for her retrofit, but for now she's pretty decent

Although, I haven't been playing for almost 3 years and just came back a month ago

And my Essex was already invested anyways

[harsh cargo]

Why is there a 5gb update?

This damn game wants to take over all my free space

[jolly coral]

overall app size went down by 1gb for me after the updates so there's that at least

[forest palm]

these kind of updates are more so to go over existing files, and then remove unnecessary ones afaik, it's not that it is adding 5 GB

[woven star]

Btw for my sim it was 3.4 gb and phone 5 gb. Probably some island options which u can disable

[deep thicket]

Can somebody give me a mob and boss fleet for 15-1?

[viscid swift]

Didn't you ask this yesterday and were linked this W15 Guide?
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-15

[deep thicket]

I did, and I went through and it wasn’t very specific for what I have

[viscid swift]

Which is?

[deep thicket]

The guide is very vague. I cleared chapter 14 years ago. It makes references to stuff I don’t completely understand and assumes you know lots of things

[wind hazel]

[viscid swift]

Anyway, it's not meant to necessarily be a copy and paste. It explains the mechanics of the stage and what threats you'll need to counter. Sample fleets are given but they're, well examples of the implementation the fleet guidelines.

[viscid swift]

What don't you understand?

[deep thicket]

Will screen shots work? Like I don’t get what it means with some of the charts it has posted

[viscid swift]

Yes.

[deep thicket]

Is this a metric that is in game somewhere? If so where do I find it?

[viscid swift]

I have no fucking clue honestley, @sweet delta you might wanna clarify.

Anyway, the exact numbers aren't important.

[deep thicket]

This is also what I meant when I said I don’t remember anything about clearing chapter 14 because it was so long ago but this guide assumes I still have that knowledge

[whole crypt]

becasue ch15 is hugely different from ch14

[viscid swift]

It's just showing you strong the mob and boss fleets need to be relatively depending on whether you the mob or boss fleet to tackle the bosses.

[wind hazel]

click 14 to be refreshed

[viscid swift]

Well you should still know all the basics of fleet building. All that says is that 15-1 and the 15-2 mobs will be relatively easy, and that 15-3 and 15-4 will ramp up the difficulty significantly.

[whole crypt]

I'm not sure if stig has strict metrics for that but the idea is 15-4 (and to a lesser extent 15-3) has unique boss mechanics that involves more than 1 boss fight and a debuff to the fleet that last engaged a boss fleet if you use it for another boss fight

[forest palm]

I think people just want a TLDR sometime, use this do this here

[whole crypt]

15-1 and 15-2 are just planehell+ otherwise since those mechanics don't apply

which again, has very little to do with ch14

[deep thicket]

So like 15-1 and 15-2 will introduce the mechanics of chapter 15. 15-3 and 15-4 will be like an amplified version of those mechanics?

[viscid swift]

Yes and no.

15-1 and 15-2 will have some things like the support fleet.

But the super CV Nodes, multiple boss fleets, won't be present until you get to 15-3.

[deep thicket]

One more thing what is a washing machine? What gear is that?

[onyx flame]

Gold rudder

[deep thicket]

Lol, that is perfect

[ancient ridge]

Hello! Just got back to the game after like years for the 5th time, i was wondering if i should stick with this account or just start over in a possibly more active server? Currently in lexington, not sure if all the servers activity pretty much the same or is there a place y'all can recommend where i can join a guild as a newbie too or something, ty!

[wind hazel]

continue this account, #1246721562741178410

[viscid swift]

I see 0 benefits to starting over with an account at this state.

[ancient ridge]

Got it tyty, just felt a little bricked especially with all the new stuff 🤣

[viscid swift]

Nah trust me, starting over would be even worse.

[ancient ridge]

What 2 teams mainly for story would be best rn for me?

[wind hazel]

the ones you're using

[ancient ridge]

So no one on the lower level side have any potential higher than the lv100s ones?

[thorn tartan]

why does my phone say it needs to download 3.5 gigs?

[wind hazel]

there is but no point replacing them right now, level advantage plays a bigger role

[viscid swift]

Get to W12 first, then you can worry about leveling replacements.

[wind hazel]

you can raise sandiego or watarase for example, when one of your ship is maxed out, either lv120 or 125

[ancient ridge]

Gotcha gotcha, and im assuming save up pulls rn for a limited banner? Im at 200/400 on the select UR banner one not sure if i should push

[wind hazel]

1 Light daily until UR event

[ancient ridge]

Okay okay tyvm!

[sweet delta]

You

[ancient ridge]

My old old team

[wind hazel]

continue using that, bring enterprise to 125

[ancient ridge]

Alrighty, how about amagi?

[wind hazel]

125

amagi cv, not the dogshit amagi bc

[ancient ridge]

Yeah 🤣

[regal flax]

what lvl do i need for operation siren? my lvl 100 ships lost to a lvl 70 basic enemy

[sweet delta]

Your level 100 ships have skill issue

And just like campaign, opsi is a scale of weak trash to high level content

Level 100 fleets won't get you the rewards efficiently at all

[regal flax]

so what lvl do i need to get a meta ship?

[sweet delta]

You can do that at any level after when you unlock opsi

It's not hard, but you'll pay a lot of oil. And meta ships aren't the main point of opsi

[icy rivet]

Who should I limit break next between moskva, raffaello, hakuhou, lexington II, and I-404?

[hot turret]

It's time for a UR exchange ladies and gents, which one should I choose?

[ivory pawn]

Without knowing what URs you already have, Musashi is the standard recommendation atm.

[weary edge]

depends who you already have and how many bulins you have, but probably jsut save ur bulins for upcoming UR

[viscid swift]

CN Anni drops in about 2 weeks so I'd hold off for now but this'll help give you an idea of who to prioritize.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRMH0Yyv6vWH1apqWU7t0xV9xax73CELlCIC5g7Lw-pJnKpwDM4UBcTN22oqnfRKKq-3GQ6_0FbhcB8/pub

[hot turret]

Oh I can show you if you want

I mostly got single copies of the UR exchange ships

Due to poor decisions lol

[ivory pawn]

Eh it's whatever. I'm still leaning Musashi but arguments can be made for Shinano or Yorkii.

[hot turret]

Alright

I heard Shinano is good indeed

I'll think about it

[weary edge]

you could make a killer anti light team with lion lex2 and york2

[viscid swift]

I've already laid out my thoughts elsewhere.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRMH0Yyv6vWH1apqWU7t0xV9xax73CELlCIC5g7Lw-pJnKpwDM4UBcTN22oqnfRKKq-3GQ6_0FbhcB8/pub

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

[hot turret]

mmm, is that so, but isn't lion good for boss as well? I still only use one fleet right now but I'm leveling up some ships to make a second fleet soon

[weary edge]

well that's the team you'd use for a light armour boss

[viscid swift]

Not without Bf-109Gs at least.

[hot turret]

how do I know it's a light armor boss?

[weary edge]

sometimes you can check, like for opsi or meta showdown, other times just check their rigging, like general rule of thumb, dds and cls are light, cas and cvls are medium, bbs are heavy. some cvs are medium and some are heavy

[wind hazel]

easiest way is to look it up https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/bosses

[weary edge]

that too

[hot turret]

ok

[hot turret]

yeah my air force is just eh at the moment

[weary edge]

protocore minmaxxing and opsi grinding can fix that

[hot turret]

I need to start grinding Opsi for resources to start making gear in the tech centre I unlocked a while back

[viscid swift]

That'll still take time.

[wind hazel]

how many UR bulin and SpCore do you have exactly

[viscid swift]

Besides HVARs would be preferable.

[hot turret]

I know I have enough bulins for 1 max limit break

[wind hazel]

go check

[weary edge]

which hopefully will be added to gear lab alongside skyraiders 🙏

[hot turret]

I was just keeping them for the next new UR in case it turned out overpowered like Lion

[weary edge]

yes do that

[wind hazel]

go check go check go check go check go check go check go check

[weary edge]

i think mori wants u to check, idk tho

[hot turret]

Yeah not many bulins lol

[wind hazel]

spcore?

[hot turret]

Uuuh

2103

I've been buying some with medals when I can

Bought 3 bulins with SP so far

Spcore*

[wind hazel]

wait until 15th for confirmation, if it's truly UR sub then you can mlb your Zwei, keep the rest for new UR

[hot turret]

A UR sub? Man I don't even use sub rn

[wind hazel]

stop buying the UR bulin, just keep your SpCore until you need them, no need to prebuy them. there's no limit

[viscid swift]

There's a decent bit of circumstantial evidence to suggest one of the new ships will be a Type 21 U-boat.

[wind hazel]

every UR bulin in your dock is wasting your dockspace, and you're already at the limit

and buy all the 3k SpCore from medal shop, make it a priority every month

[hot turret]

I was waiting for a confirmation to waste them on Zwei finally

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 maybe we gonna get Bismarck III

[hot turret]

God bless the powercreep

[icy rivet]

Got a few 1 bulin currently but I have enough specialized cores to get 3 more from the shop

[weary edge]

yeah there's a chance new UR will be a BB that powercreeps biszwei

what the fuck

[hot turret]

German UR event?

[weary edge]

yeah, well, not confirmed but probably 100% yeah

[hot turret]

Alright

[weary edge]

this guy has 2 lions wtf

[inner delta]

shouldve stop at not confirmed, not 100%

[hot turret]

I'm glad I managed to grab lion and zwei when I was just starting the game, lion been a carry so far

[regal flax]

where can i find a guide for operation siren?

[wind hazel]

lexii

[viscid swift]

Might wanna consider using your dupes for limit breaking in the future.

[hot turret]

I'm also waiting impatiently for the eventual Alsace rerun which I heard could be this summer

[weary edge]

yeah probably sometime june

[hot turret]

Still no Alsace oath skin 😕

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 didnt read he has fuckall 1 bulin+3 shop

[wind hazel]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRPJgxnXwC4r3Z8AlbzPUhHDXt0Dr7KP4TPriFnGafQrt1wE7Jb5AdRgfy8tXaLpTC-CtYAVMZgJE0g/pub

[forest palm]

speaking of, does CN show case new Oath Outfits, or is it JP, or both

[viscid swift]

Both.

[hot turret]

Alright since I'm going to max limit Zwei could you guys tell me what she's good at and what type of fleet I should get her in, boss, Mob or other

[viscid swift]

https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/593

[wind hazel]

she's good at everything

[weary edge]

usually run her with mecklenburg

[hot turret]

Alright I'll check that out

[hot turret]

I'd have to build it

[hearty trout]

is there will be migration ? dont know why i got notice recovery mail even tho i played it like last month

[hot turret]

It's a new system, now you make a Yostar account

It should link technically, mine worked perfectly, I opened the game and created my account and got instantly linked

[hearty trout]

so if im already login into yostar account it should be fine ?

[hot turret]

I think

[hearty trout]

glad to hear that, im panick for awhile 😅

[hot turret]

Me too ngl

[inner delta]

why panic, people had plenty of time to actually make yostar account

[viscid swift]

Yes they announced this months back.

[hot turret]

lowkey forgot about it

[inner delta]

they made the button and website for it since last year but pushed the announcement about 3 months ago

[hot turret]

saw the announcement a while back then with work I just forgot

[hearty trout]

im affraid i miss some info and my all account progress was gone

like aether gazer migration, if im not move the email, all the progress was gone

[inner delta]

nah, its just bind to yostar account because they are using that now

[hearty trout]

i see then

[hot turret]

new loading screen is nice I gotta say

Richelieu my beloved now the flag bearer of Iris

[ancient ridge]

Anyone i should work towards here or not really?

[sweet delta]

All the medal CAs are for tech, and Independence is the only relevant core shop ship

[ivory pawn]

Lot of useful gear to spend core data on, plus cog chips and arrays are worth it too.

[ancient ridge]

Newbie question, which one is for tech? 🤣

[ivory pawn]

Baltimore/Zara/Minneapolis > Atago/Takao > Pola >>> Eugen imo. Or choose whichever faction you need more tech points for Research, such as Atago for Shimanto, or Minneapolis for Anchorage.

[vital meadow]

is there a ship tier list

since slaimuda is deadge

[ivory pawn]

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

[agile temple]

Why does auto search skip siren ships in hidden zones?

[ivory pawn]

Many enemy ships in hidden zones give literally no reward, just a time waster, so autosearch skips all enemies.

[agile temple]

Ah I see, didn’t realize that

[still knot]

just asking in meta boss the daily 3 attack is the reward fixed at 63 or it becomes higher ?

[wind hazel]

75 is the max

it goes up according to how much damage you dealt

your own boss is 375

[still knot]

kk thanks

[sweet merlin]

who do i send to the chap 15 cv camp?

[viscid swift]

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

[ancient ridge]

Who should i work towards here?

[deft hull]

depends on what ships you have already and what you need right now as they are all largely outclassed by either later research ships or newer ships but i'm partial to st louis because iris fleet tech is hard to come by at the start and bayard has a giant sword

[ancient ridge]

Im not really familiar on what needs who, but here's my current dock

[ivory pawn]

If you're not at chapter 12 just forget about it for now tbh.

[sweet merlin]

should i move around anyone?

[ancient ridge]

Oh alright, still at ch10 rn

[viscid swift]

For what? W15?

[sweet merlin]

yeah

[viscid swift]

Yes, I recomend reading the W15 guide I linked earlier.

[deft hull]

if you want something to work towards passively i'd say ibuki or neptune and use yukikaze or cleopatra to level for their xp if you are looking to min max it on your way to 12

started a year ago with the lion event and cleo put in a lot of work when I first started out

[viscid swift]

What, why would they waste time leveling unecessary ships when they have a straight shot at W12.

[deft hull]

I didn't say to go out of there way to level them, but use them on their way to 12

[wind hazel]

just aim for anchorage, agir

if you can't do them, then do any filler from PR1

[sweet delta]

I don't think using a level 1 Cleo in chapter 11 is a good idea

[viscid swift]

And Ibuki's XP grind is done.

[sweet delta]

Outstanding choice

[deft hull]

getting cleo up to their current ships levels would be relatively trivial, obviously I didn't mean throw it in at level 1

[sweet delta]

There's no exp for Aegir, so Anchorage or fallback to Saint Louis

[viscid swift]

Hardly considering they just came back.

[ancient ridge]

Hmmm seeing how i alr got work on ibuki i guess i'll just continue that, man been so long since i played again 🤣

[wind hazel]

your ibuki is practically done

[ancient ridge]

Really? I dont really understand this mechanic, never completed one before

[wind hazel]

just read what they require. basically queueing your research academy, pay the $ and cube, blablabla, and she will be unlocked

[ancient ridge]

What is this complete 8 research project in tech academy?

[viscid swift]

You might want to give this a read.

[ivory pawn]

On the screen before the shipyard, you can find the Research Academy to the left of the shipyard.

[ancient ridge]

Ohh got it tyty

[signal path]

Any comment on Z Flag? Who uses it?

[sweet delta]

Nobody

[viscid swift]

The skills means Mikasa but the buffs are pretty shit.

The history behind it is much more interesting than what it does in game.

[signal path]

It says a certain ships

[viscid swift]

Even Mikasa doesn't want it.

[rapid tusk]

Is this worth getting for Albion?

[wind hazel]

not for albion. for plymouth, it has its use

[soft raft]

Very not worth it btw
Much less using Mikasa in the first place anyway

[sweet delta]

When I use Mikasa, I don't use Z Flag

What does the new TB message box change, auto search still gets stuck on special tiles

[wind steeple]

Can you get to ch12 without good ships ? Like beating it by being overleveled

[wind hazel]

define good ships

[wind steeple]

B+ tier on the tier list

[wind hazel]

overkill. you can reach ch12 with D and C

[wind steeple]

alright ty

[tulip tinsel]

even D can clear w12

[wind hazel]

can they

can this win

[viscid swift]

What tier list though.

[tulip tinsel]

surely

[wind hazel]

why are there so many wtf

[tulip tinsel]

repeated scan

lol

[native folio]

I currently have 15k oil but my cap is 5k, how can I spend the extra 10k? I'm on campaign level 5-1 right now, should I just use it on campaign levels I've beat?

[wind hazel]

keep pushing campaign as high as you can without getting commander level gated

depending on your average fleet level, if ~80+ you can farm at war archives too in universe in unison or passionate polaris

[native folio]

is manually controlling your ships better than auto by a lot? or does it not really matter a ton

[wind hazel]

if you know the game mechanics well, manual is better by a lot

maps that you usually can't survive on auto can be cleared with manual gameplay. but chapter 13 and below can be easily cleared with auto

if you cant then it's either fleet issue, or gear issue, or both

[fierce plinth]

anyone know when next event starts?

[wind hazel]

wait for 15th stream

[fierce lantern]

I have 3000 gems I don’t care much for skins, but is there anything I can buy that will benefit my gameplay?

[tulip tinsel]

/gems

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Gem Spending 101

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[sweet merlin]

how do you damage if you cant use bullets

[fair mountain]

Planes or Torpedos still work

[still knot]

is e.x and s.p good to do coz i havent touch it at all lol

[onyx flame]

If this is related to war archive
Not really. You only go to war archive if you need cmd exp and havent reach chp 9 or need faction tech

[sweet merlin]

does xfleet skill dmg depend on the original ship stats?

why is it 0 dmg?

[rain vine]

check the siren boss node modifiers

[still knot]

kk

[agile temple]

Are there recommended settings for strategic search?

[onyx flame]

just make sure it stops at akashi, everything else is up to your discretion

[agile temple]

Are these the same gun but different rarity? The one on the left is listed as a piece of gear good for nelson but i have the one on the right but I don't think it is because the ammo type is different

[onyx flame]

they are not the same

if anything the rainbow 406 is closer to the purple 406mk6

[agile temple]

oh the purple one you mentioned is what im currently using i think

[onyx flame]

just stick to the 406mk6

[weary edge]

mk7 only rly makes a big difference at +13

[agile temple]

i also got this from the prototype shop but it felt like it was doing less damage so i swapped off of it, i bought it because it was recommended on azur lane ecgc (like stuff to buy from the proto shop, not specifically use on nelson) but maybe not the right ship to use on?

[onyx flame]

your using it in the wrong situation
champy gun has ap ammo which is best against med/heavy armor bosses
campaign up to chp 12 typically have a mix of armor and are also typically light armor enemies so it not great in that aspect

[agile temple]

Ah, yeah I was testing it on 10-3 and 11-1 so makes sense

[native folio]

how do i get more submarines? i'm trying to do supply line disruption but I only have I-58

It's for the efficiency

[polar flint]

idgaf if ts late, but i have her on mob mostly, i also use gold baracuda like u said

[wind hazel]

[wraith pendant]

is the gold research better than the purple one ? Do I get more bps with or the other or same same except for research duration and cost (in which case I'll go for purple) ?

[wind hazel]

purple is better

[native folio]

if you unlock musashi-chan, do you use her instead of pennsylvania in the middle-back position?

[wraith pendant]

thanks Mori

[untold forge]

Musashi-chan should be at the center. She's very easy to limit break thanks to her elite rank while remaining a serious dmg dealer. So far, among the elite ranked ships, Musashi-chan, Unicorn, Helena are the ones i like the most.

Also i'm assuming you're relatively new so i highly suggest waiting for the may 28 event as 2 new UR's will be released. UR btw is the highest rank on this game right after SR. You can't pull an UR on banners that only list SR

[native folio]

you can only MLB her with universal bulins right?

[untold forge]

ye

[onyx flame]

since your in the washington server you should have a better option over musashi chan alr with alabama from the medal shop

[scarlet cosmos]

do all skins come back on sale during anniversary?

[onyx flame]

everything up to june/cn anni? gets rerun for en anni
i dont think we get skin rerun during cn/jp anni

[native folio]

i havae 93 medals, should I just get alabama right now?

I limit broke musashichan a couple times, did I waste those bulins lol

[onyx flame]

kinda but purple bulins arent really that rare

[native folio]

Any other ships I should consider? My dock is at the start of the latest thread in this channel if you could help take a look

all non-collab skins available before 1st june of that year are made available

Save for new UR

[desert wren]

how long do I need to wait if a ship's mood is getting worse?

[true chasm]

Why dont you max out mecklenburg and bizmarck zwie? Arent they like the two best bbs in the game paired with lion?

You also have mecklenburg fully researched too

[true chasm]

If you have them in the dorm it usually takes around 20 minutes I believe

[onyx flame]

still should wait to see what the new ur is first

[desert wren]

does the recovery get interrupted if the ship is in mid sortie? I got a notification for it mid sortie, but leaving the sortie feels like a waste of oil.

[tulip tinsel]

No

[hearty trout]

any clue next ur banner rate up ?

[forest palm]

there's gonna be a Bilibili stream on the 15th for what I assume is the coming next UR for CN Anni

[untold forge]

yes. so far no one really knows who the two UR's are and their respective stats and abilities

[hearty trout]

when cn anniv, global have benefit too ?
like when 7dsgc jp anniv, the global ver get reward too

[forest palm]

we don't get gems, or rings out of it, but we do get something things. still it's all simul release so content wise we get what CN and JP get

A lot of ships you won't have.

[sweet merlin]

fdg? isnt musahi ranked hire than fdg?

[viscid swift]

That's a sample fleet.

[crystal ore]

@viscid swift If I can replace laffey who should I replace?

[viscid swift]

I have no idea what you have.

[sweet merlin]

assume all of them is lvl 125. can you give me a reality check for chap 14?

fleet 1 is mob, fleet 2 is boss

my box

[viscid swift]

Boss fleet vanguard might be a bit fragile and Lion should be flag but otherwise, assuming it is properly geared it shoud be fine.

You also don't need to level Musashi for this.

[sweet merlin]

who so i use then?

[viscid swift]

Lion goes to mob. Alsace replaced her in the boss fleet.

[sweet merlin]

alright. thought lion goes to boss caus i saw lion was SS foe bossing

[viscid swift]

That's for single target bossing not campaign bossing.

[sweet merlin]

also chap 16 came out already?

[soft raft]

It's been out for quite a while

[sweet merlin]

what gimicks are there this time?

note to self: switch dev to nakhimov asap

[viscid swift]

You might wanna give this a read.
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-16-mechanics

And this.

[regal flax]

how important is clearing the main campaign, ive been spamming event and now i have 60 war archive tickets

[viscid swift]

Very important as far as W12.

[sweet merlin]

is chap 14-16 just AV AV AV?

[viscid swift]

What no, just read the rest of the chapter guides.

[sweet merlin]

geez i wonder why amagi cv, Soyuz, Mecklenburg and Kearsarge value seem to drop when you dont not pair them with ships of the same faction

[wind hazel]

you're mixing up ship pairing with strict faction fleeting

pairing zwei and meck is very different than using meck zwei uvh agir mainz roon, for example

[rain vine]

those ships only require a few ships to be of the same faction, not the entire fleet

[sweet merlin]

Do xfleet skills scale off the current team stats or the what’s off the ship that launches them

[boreal wagon]

the stats of the ship with the skill

but there is a caveat that the barrage is technically considered to be fired by your flagship so any and all say damage buffs (not stat buffs tho) your current flag ship has do also apply

[sweet merlin]

Hmmm

Cause i have a 4th ur fleet in op si that is only for their xfleet skills and they are not built

[boreal wagon]

their stats do technically matter

what stats exactly and when it is actually worthwhile just for xfleet heavily depends on the ship

[sweet merlin]

The last fleet

[pallid crystal]

Does anyone have any good gear sets for Musashi chan?

[sweet merlin]

Better question is why are you using her

[pallid crystal]

Why not?

[viscid swift]

https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/734

[tulip tinsel]

when taihou meta added into perma dossier

[viscid swift]

Whenever we get the next new META showdown.

[forest palm]

should be next month™

[tulip tinsel]

sadge

[pallid crystal]

This is confusing me

[viscid swift]

What is?

[pallid crystal]

The link you sent

[viscid swift]

Yeah, what about it is confusing.

[crisp estuary]

Wait, was ch 12 the final gem clear reward chapter?

[pallid crystal]

All of it

[viscid swift]

No.

[viscid swift]

Could you be more specific?

[pallid crystal]

Can't find where it tells you what gear to put on mus

[viscid swift]

Sigh.

[pallid crystal]

Where did you find that

[undone plover]

[viscid swift]

You click on them.

[undone plover]

~~tbf it could be more obvious ~~

[viscid swift]

If you don't see them try refreshing the page.

[still knot]

Probably a ad blocker lol
Coz I had to turn of my pc ad blocker to see it lols

[undone plover]

i have ad blocker on and still see it

[viscid swift]

Same.

[still knot]

Name of ad blocker?

[undone plover]

ublock origin

[still knot]

Yeah I think my mine is just weird

[white agate]

the one everyone uses, if you don't wanna bother installing it there is libre wolf, its a firefox distro

[sweet delta]

what does it look like with your ad blocker

[white agate]

else hardening firefox also works, there are script on the net about it

[weary edge]

i have ublock origin too but it works completely fine for me

[still knot]

It's the same with faerlein
Ublocker origin
Probably it's my pc messing with me again

[sweet delta]

but what did the page look like, this?

[undone plover]

i think sushi wants to know how it looks so he can troubleshoot it

[weary edge]

mine is like this

[white agate]

do you have issues with your version of java script? what browser are you on?

[sweet delta]

@pallid crystal

[weary edge]

there are certain settings you can apply to ublock origin, maybe something within those settings is causing issues

[pallid crystal]

A legendary twin 410 mm (type 3 shell) is better then a purple twin 410mm navel gun mount?

[viscid swift]

No.

Hence why it isn't in the reccomendations.

[still knot]

Pretty sure I'm just tripping coz
It's 2am for me maybe later I can try it again
good night
Nighty night

[pallid crystal]

Any good formations with Musashi?

[forest palm]

depends on the content you're using her for

[timid beacon]

Hey for some reason I got this message when I was playing opsi

And my discord is lagging…

[inland shoal]

Discord is having issues in general rn

[native folio]

what skills for early characters should you prioritize first in tactical class?

[forest palm]

if you're talking about Portland, you can ignore her skills

[native folio]

what other ships then?

[sweet delta]

Unicorn's healing skill for sure, and then what's your progress on obtaining Musashi-chan and how does her level compare to Pennsylvania's?

[native folio]

someone told me to get alabama yesterday, so i am using her now

[sweet delta]

what's your progress on obtaining Musashi-chan, and what are the levels and limit breaks of Alabama, Pennsylvania, and Musashi-chan?

[native folio]

i have two slots in the tactical class, im doing unicorn heal in the first one

alabama 4/6 stars lvl 22
penn 4/5 stars lvl 78
musashi 4/5 stars lvl 30

[sweet delta]

i think you got baited, because Musashi-chan is as good as or slightly better than Alabama, and she is way cheaper than Alabama

The only advantage of Alabama is Eagle Union tech points. It doesn't matter much now who you use, but if you have no preference, then I'd lean to Musashi-chan

or you can use both if long island sucks

[timid beacon]

For some reason I got this while playing opsi

[sweet delta]

you should sort or expand your dock

[sweet delta]

@native folio Unicorn heal and one of the BBs' red barrage skills. That is Lucky A for Alabama or Viowet Lightning for Musashi

[timid beacon]

Yeah the thing is opsi doesn’t give ships but guess it wanted me to do it anyway

[ivory pawn]

Or Enhance a ship to clean out some commons.

[native folio]

Ok which of musashi or alabamas skills should I level up?

[inland shoal]

Yeah it still happens sometimes, 🍝 code, just clear your dock

[nocturne zenith]

You leveled any of them yet?
I leveled her Lightning Storm first and foremost.
And be sure to use the right guns for her

How to use the AL Fleet tech tracker?
Its has the option to import data from aldb or retropaint..
What are those xD
Like is there an easy way to export my ship data or do I have to do it manually for every ship of mine?

[viscid swift]

Retropaint is an old tech tracker. You have to manually input everything the first time.

[wind steeple]

are the 10 hour commissions worth the 1200 oil cost

I kinda need that oil

[viscid swift]

No.

[last ocean]

not if you're playing regularly. If you're in a gap where you're just popping in long enough to renew commissions, perhaps, since you're not using the oil anyway

[timid peak]

which UR to MLB? or wait for next UR? have 5 UR bulins

[last ocean]

Bismarck Zwei for 400 wen?

[viscid swift]

CN Anni is in 2 weeks. Wait.

[forest palm]

Just sit on the bulins

[viscid swift]

Probably sometime in the next few months.

[spice idol]

Is there a “best” weapon to buy and craft first from the proto cores? I just traded all of my exp things and I have 1540 cores

[ivory pawn]

Yep, recommended to grab at least 5 of the season 3 gold prints and the season 6 gold prints each this month. Even better if you can get all 20.

/protocore

[odd root]

Protocore Guides

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

[spice idol]

Thank you I’ve seen that first image but never the second that’s helpful

So basically buy these until I get the amount of copies shown, and then work down that list

[ivory pawn]

Yep, pretty much. 50 of one print and 25 of the other, so try to get at least 10 of one and 5 of the other this month.

[spice idol]

Ok cool thanks. And it seems like it doesn’t matter which, just 2 copies of either one and 1 of the other

[sweet delta]

If you're focusing PR8, then you could do with only 1 of each because PR8 rainbow gun is an upgrade

[weary edge]

in terms of ju87, ryusei, and saiun, are they interchangeable depending on timing?

oh and vit2 ig

[fleet marten]

they are indeed

[weary edge]

bang

[nocturne zenith]

I got two Kent's both unlocked and can't use either to LB either.. anyone got any clue why?
Also if you're wondering how they're both lvl 21 blame me autoing on comissions

[weary edge]

there's a setting in game that prevents leveled units from being used as enhancement materials

[nocturne zenith]

Thank a lot. You lot really know everything huh xD

[spice idol]

Sorry which one is the PR8 rainbow gun? Still new and haven’t gotten into the late game stuff yet

[wind steeple]

What should I redeem

[weary edge]

depends what u need, but probably the rooma and quad mag torps, and steam catapult

[sweet delta]

Show what gold/purple gear you have

[last ocean]

a lot of solid options there

quad mags are good for auto torps, barracuda/seafang are solid torp bomber/fighter options

[sweet delta]

Quad mag is cheap in gear lab so lean toward catapult, hellcat, or roomba

[wind steeple]

already have 4 catapults

[sweet delta]

What chapter are you on?

[last ocean]

seeing what you have, I'd either say roomba or quad mags myself, but I'm still rather amateur

[wind steeple]

about to finish 10, but I think I can push ch11 and 12

[sweet delta]

Roomba would help for chapter 12

[wind steeple]

alright

[sweet delta]

You can use up to 6 catapults at once sometimes, and more are welcome for convenience. But since you only have one half decent AA gun, Roomba would instantly become your best AA gun and you need plenty of gold AA guns

Roomba is twin 113 if you don't know

[last ocean]

quick thing, too, that Seafang you have is a really solid fighter, so you should work on upgrading that for one of your carriers

[sweet delta]

Seems like they are following gear guide except for BTD destroyer

[sweet delta]

Give it another few years and kids those days won't know what Roombas are

[weary edge]

i mean when i first heard “roomba”
i instantly knew which gun they meant. it’s pretty easy to tell, and im not sure how other people cant tell

[spice idol]

Is that gun in a different spot? I don’t see it anywhere

[last ocean]

Curious since I didn't see on pinned messages - is Musashi-chan any good?

[weary edge]

what do you mean? do you have the gun? it's a BB gun

[spice idol]

Oh it’s just a random drop? No I don’t have it nevermind

[last ocean]

the rainbow gun, is it a gear lab gun or a research series?

[weary edge]

no, you need to craft it using blueprints

[spice idol]

Still trying to figure this game out

[weary edge]

you get blue prints from some PR8 research projects

[weary edge]

he's talking about meck gun

[spice idol]

Oh ok I understand what you meant now. I was looking under the protocore pr8

[last ocean]

okay, series 8, I never really know when people refer to them by the ship name lol

[sweet delta]

https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/734

[last ocean]

I see. Thanks

[sweet merlin]

do i bother with subs?

[forest palm]

in the early game you just wanna make sure you can farm Bidders, you'll want subs for 14+

switching Mary Celest for Da Vinci would make a competent sub fleet that could still be improved btw

[sweet merlin]

yeah realized way too late

are there evwn any "good' subs?

[wind steeple]

Yeah I played this game like 5 years ago but I can’t really remember what was good or not

[wind hazel]

you already have 2 of the 3 currently best submarines in the game in general

[forest palm]

which is why I recommended to switch out Mary Celest...

Da Vinci is replaceable, but good enough in her own right

[hollow gust]

da vinci is more then good enough for everything

[sweet merlin]

should I change anyone? also why are ppl telling me to put laffy, a DD, into the tank slot of my team?

[hollow gust]

cause laffey will out tank all your tanks

[wind hazel]

because she is a tank

[forest palm]

Laffey II to be clear

[hollow gust]

Agir just sucks

[sweet merlin]

man... powercreep?

[vital meadow]

is there a good sub fleet for i-404 for ch 16

[hollow gust]

she has been powercreep for a long as time

[hollow gust]

use her with flasher and archerfish

[sweet merlin]

who so i replace her with?

[hollow gust]

z52 does everything agir does but better

[wind hazel]

agir is fine for you. switch out hindenburg for z52, alsace with soyuz, if you have kazagumo, put her in for your third fleet, let eldridge main tank, remove guam

[hollow gust]

why would u switch hinden out when agir is easily the worst ship in that fleet

[wind hazel]

because she at least give armour break which is good for the bb

what you really want is to get plymouth to replace agir

[sweet delta]

should I pay 42 more oil for 3 vanguard ships' worth of exp from 6 mob battles?

[hollow gust]

or just use the z52??

[wind hazel]

are you blind

[hollow gust]

he doesnt need a z52 in mob...

[wind hazel]

that's what i said

[hollow gust]

hinden contributes more then the armor break

[wind hazel]

she can contribute equally as a mobber, it's fine

[vital meadow]

is the new gear lab prototype carrier based su-6 any good?

[wind hazel]

no

[sweet merlin]

how so i find 3 TRP?

[wind hazel]

oxytorp

or switch out 1 of the CA

not unzen

[sweet delta]

failing the torp check when Rikka can solo 900 trp already

[sweet merlin]

do you need to manyally desync CV/BB?

[viscid swift]

What no.

[sweet merlin]

other fleet is the fleet with the xfleet ship or my current fleet'

[ivory pawn]

The fleet that you're in combat with, or the current fleet as you put it.

[native folio]

Am I supposed to be able to check the escorts or flagships or standby box? I can't check any of them, only the All Enemies box stays checked, but the sortie doesn't even fight all the enemies it goes to the boss the first chance it gets

[woven star]

Hard mode?

[ivory pawn]

That's how the auto works, most of the time you want to go straight to the boss unless you're going for the 3rd star.

[viscid swift]

Only if you have 2 fleets. And all enemies means the minimum number of enemies to spawn the boss.

[soft raft]

*Mininum numbers of enemies to spawn the boss + the boss itself

[wind hazel]

Minimum*

[vale spindle]

iirc

current fleet = fleet with the crossfleet ship physically in
other fleet = fleet that does NOT have crossfleet ship in it

[woven star]

If example out of ammo then other fleet is fleet which right now in battle my guess

[sweet merlin]

Chap 14 only has 1 boss, right?

[woven star]

14-3 *edited *maybe have 2

[sweet merlin]

Do i hit both with boss fleet or alternate between mob and boss

[wind hazel]

there's only one boss node. 14-3 boss node has two bosses

multiple bosses node appear starting in 15-3

[native folio]

I have a lot of dupes of blue units in my dock, should i discard all the extras to make more dock space? I'm running out of room. I don't need to worry about MLB them do I?

[wind hazel]

if you can mlb them do it, they contribute to faction tech at least. if you can't because of limited xp books then just retire for medal

[woven star]

While you have at least 1 original ship non mlb it's fine.

[native folio]

are xp books for MLB? can you use xp books to raise ship levels?

[sweet merlin]

Dups/bulid are for mlb
Books are for lbl which ypu need to be able to lb

[wind hazel]

to mlb you need level, which is the primary usage of exp books, to boost the ship's level...

[native folio]

how do you use the books? i thought this whole time you can only raise level from fighting

Is it the lecture hall? i'm not lvl 50 yet

[wind hazel]

then you should be keeping your exp books. just retire your duplicates

use your exp books for ships that you want to raise for second fleet and so on

[native folio]

there's no point in having dupes right? I should just use them all for limitbreaking?

[sweet merlin]

Yeah

[native folio]

Even elite+ ships?

[sweet merlin]

Its an implicit form of like other games conselation system

Only real reson for sups is for skins

[woven star]

Btw you can change some auto retire option. To keep enough copies for mlb or non of them. But to be sure that auto new ship lock is on

[viscid swift]

You can't use dupes in the same fleet for campaigns and events. Some nodes like OpSi don't allow dupes period.

There's also just too many ships out there, too much demand for tech, to justify spending resources on a duplicate which will such little utility.

[fleet marten]

Is Alsace really good on a BB fleet that she can't easily desync from the other BBs due to her extra hold via her preload? if so does anyone other than Alsace have the capability to hold 2 shells while not being able to desync that much?

[soft raft]

Preloads dont affect syncing

[viscid swift]

Well, definitely an Iron Blood event.

[native folio]

what is main way to get decor tokens? is it mainly commissions? seems like it will take a long time to save up 500 for expansion license

[ivory pawn]

Mainly commissions, aye.
There's also two more licenses you need to buy after the first iirc, so it will take a little while.

[sweet merlin]

?

[soft raft]

#game-news
Whole lotta german in that CTA list

[ivory pawn]

There's also Marco Polo, inb4 surprise Sardegna event.

[viscid swift]

Holy Unitas Empire is AL's version of the Holy Roman Empire....

[native folio]

Is there supposed to be a PR8 here?

[soft raft]

PR8 wont get catchup until next January

[wind hazel]

not yet

[sweet merlin]

Can i dev 30 mec before then?

[soft raft]

🔮

[viscid swift]

That's catchup not research focus.

[native folio]

I just put my research focus as 8, is that enough? Do I need to select something for PR1 through PR7?

[viscid swift]

You might wanna read that.

[sweet merlin]

That dosnet look german

[soft raft]

Read the ship names

That's 4 germans and a italian

[wind hazel]

so you're telling me there's a chance it's Italy UR

[sweet merlin]

Also fdg exp boost now?

Should have told be earlier as i was preparing to dev mec

[wind hazel]

why would you choose fdg over meck

[sweet merlin]

Dev as in the mission that forces us to farm 1.2 mil xp

[wind hazel]

yeah and?

[sweet merlin]

Ib main fleet

[wind hazel]

yes, and?

[soft raft]

Hopefully you mean you were gonna use FdG to grind Meck XP not deliberately backtrack to do FdG

[sweet merlin]

Yeag fdg to grind meck xp

[wind hazel]

who cares, the event is next thursday. grind it now and you're getting days head start

[sweet merlin]

No i just completed yesterday

[wind hazel]

so why would you say it like a missed opportunity?

just grind other IB ship then lol

[viscid swift]

1.2 million XP is easy to grind out anyway.

[sweet merlin]

Also pr catch up is shared between all the prs?

[viscid swift]

An extra 20% on one ship ain't gonna make a big difference.

[wind hazel]

pr yes

[gleaming storm]

Whens the next UR coming?

[soft raft]

Very likely to be this month
We're getting a stream next week which traditionally has been a UR reveal at this time as part of CN Anniv

[viscid swift]

[gleaming storm]

So soon

[still knot]

yeah i was triping last night mb

website working lol can see gear

[sweet merlin]

What is the chinse faction in the game?

[soft raft]

Dragon Empery

[agile temple]

Rookie mission free UR. I have both kazagumo and sirius so I’m thinking i should grab shinano instead of new jersey for a CV boss fleet in the future. This will be my first UR but probably wont MLB them for a while with the CN Anni URs and Alsace coming up

[north gorge]

Shinano is the usual choice but the item doesn't expire so you can just hold onto it until you'd be actaully ready to use it

[agile temple]

Good point, ill probably keep it then

[agile temple]

Is there a place to see all of your guides that you post on google docs like this? They are always very good quality
