[eternal stone]

TY

i need to get 16 more comander things

dam

[timid beacon]

What if we don’t wanna read

[eternal stone]

also how do I get these data keys?

[viscid swift]

You can collect 4 a day,

[sweet merlin]

What are data keys

[last ocean]

they let you do a run in war archive per to play old events

[eternal stone]

how

[viscid swift]

Tap collect.

[eternal stone]

oh

[safe nexus]

is there a place that shows all update logs? i want to know why is it 5.4gb update for the current patch

[sweet delta]

they're mostly file replacements, the size won't increase by 5 GB

[sweet merlin]

did the value of ancorage drop?

is it better if i use soyuz + naimov or meck + zwei for team 2?

[wind island]

drops a little every day

[sweet merlin]

should i aim to switch out anyone?

[weary edge]

probably a dps, you already have laf2 and z52 so that's already a very tanky vanguard

or buffer

[wind hazel]

your meck isn't even ready

i dont see nakhimov being ready as well..

[random rain]

What's better for subs in W14/15? Attack Mode or Support Mode?

[sweet merlin]

give it a few weeks

[wind hazel]

unless you have multiple la9 it won't be better than the bb fleet

[whole crypt]

almost always support mode, regardless you only summon them when you need the extra damage

[exotic sorrel]

When I get the rainbow control auxiliary I replace the black shell right?

[whole crypt]

yes

[exotic sorrel]

Okay thank you

[sweet merlin]

is Z52 a tank?

[vale spindle]

she can tank yes, but gotta be careful on specific stages

[whole crypt]

she's durable enough for most generic uses, tanking is weird for AL

[sweet merlin]

wym by weird?

isnt it either, fat heals, lots of hp or lots of eva stat?

[whole crypt]

no as in you don't need a real tank for about 90% of the game

[sweet merlin]

the 10% is when opsi bosses show uo with "50% nore dmg to vanguard"

[hollow gust]

Lmao no

There is like no content where you can’t tank with z52 , and that’s certain campaign boss fleets

Z52 is more versatile in tanking then agir

[sweet merlin]

laffy2 vs z52: which is a more slipprly corocach

[hollow gust]

Laffey 2 just doesn't die , z52 has more damage and damage amp

[sweet delta]

[sweet merlin]

laffy2 carried me when i was new to opsci

[whole crypt]

besides some of the hardest bosses which is basically not OS

[sweet merlin]

i mean noting comes close to the hrbiter

[whole crypt]

harb is not that hard and it's not like it matters if your "tank" dies even if she does

[sweet delta]

bro hasn't played EX

[sweet merlin]

what is this?

wait @sweet delta did you make regal cuz slaimuda went down?

[cloud panther]

Secret boss assist

[whole crypt]

regal was already up before ectl died, just not in a site form

[sweet merlin]

should i still try to dev nakhimov? i dont have enough ships to realy farm exp efficeitnly

is there a opsi guide on what to do as the moth progresses?

that is the most questionable vanguard ive seen for a while

[wind hazel]

invest into aquila volga, you will find great use of them especially aquila

[hearty trout]

are oumi count as ur banner ? or limited event

[wind hazel]

oumi was part of Hakuhou banner, which was an UR event.
any event that is not added permanently into the game yet is a limited event, UR or not UR event

[whole crypt]

what's a good solo vanguard to use with Musashi-chan for 12-1/4 if I don't want the vanguard to take MVP

[wind hazel]

eldridge with really shit gear

[sweet merlin]

eh i think 1 week is enough, if you grind 6x 2x rounds, wait for 2 hsrs and rinse and repete, i thiunk you can clear in the same week

[wind hazel]

if you can play long hours, most efficient method would be do 3 sorties at 150 morale, rest 40mins until morale is 150 again, repeat

[sweet merlin]

do you get more xp with higer morel? cause i like to just burn them all in 1 go

[whole crypt]

you get more XP per oil or morale spent at 120+ but waiting everytime you dip below 120 is too much management

[sweet merlin]

i am running amagi with her who do i use as the other IJN unit or just use lion/uni?

[whole crypt]

I just tried D7P with peashooter and tabasco
peashooter I risked dying, tabasco was also close and it gave D7P MVP

[exotic sorrel]

Usually with Hakuhou or Hakuryu I think

[whole crypt]

Hakuhou is better

if you need a stopper then you can do with Kazagumo for that ARA slot anyway

[rose whale]

how many daily opsi mission can be kept here, and what will happen if I let them overflow?

[atomic abyss]

i believe the cap is 2 days worth of missions

you cannot overflow it because they

will say you cant accept anymore

[rose whale]

thx

[gloomy kiln]

Is the tulipa banner or event ended?
I dont have them on my game

Is my game bugged?

[boreal wagon]

no the event only ran for a week, as does every rerun

[gloomy kiln]

Oh

I though my game bugged since some mission is still there

[boreal wagon]

thats normal, event shop and missions retain for a week in case you didnt claim/use them in time

[gloomy kiln]

Good to know thanks

[still knot]

Go of the super rare ones leave the rest

[exotic sorrel]

Why doesn't Roon have a preload torpedo

[wind hazel]

because she's designed that way

[exotic sorrel]

I've always thought every single vanguard ship with torpedoes have preload torps on 2nd lb

[wind hazel]

most if not all dd have it. the rest is by design, like ibuki has it, roon doesn't, etc

[vital meadow]

is i-404 basically the best submarine

[jolly coral]

emden and shimanto don't, but they get torp double load
hindenburg is like roon and doesn't cos she's mainly a gunship

[jolly coral]

yes

[forest palm]

some ships can have ghost torp launcher mounts

[sweet merlin]

Was regal or slaimuda more correct

[forest palm]

regal is a newer project, ECTL is abandoned

[sweet merlin]

Why dont you sell mlb units if you dont wanna lvl them to 120 and if you already got the fp

Like you wont use then

[forest palm]

if you're a collector, and the ship in question gets a retro that is just more work

either way it's just another body to hold gear to free up depot space

[sweet merlin]

Wait equipped gear do not count depot space

Homany flapjacks should i make

I have way too many cvs

What is the difference between cv and cvl, bb and bc, dd and ddg, cl and ca?

[forest palm]

CVLs can be equipped AA guns most often as well as ASW gear outside of that not much else is different, BB and BC are about the same aside from like a miniscule amount of Spd and the armor type, DDG shoot missiles instead of torps and that's it, CL and CA have typically different armor types and are focused on different areas

[spare mango]

Any info for PR9?

[forest palm]

not for a while

comeback July and ask that

[wind hazel]

3-4 is good

[sweet merlin]

Lets see
Indy
Enty
Akagi
Essex
York town
Uni
All looking at my flapjacks

[wind hazel]

you dont use them all at the same time

[spare mango]

We get new pr ships each year?

[wind hazel]

so far yes

[sweet merlin]

Wait it has been 8 years already

[forest palm]

almost 9

global is a year behind

[whole crypt]

9th anniv for CN JP this year

[sweet merlin]

I started playing a few months before pr 6

I got coxed o to buliding monrah and fdg

[wind hazel]

sounds legit

[forest palm]

[wind hazel]

there's just one issue

who in the blue hell on earth asked

jk continue, im just kidding

[sweet merlin]

Wait

When was 6th anni and where is my role

[atomic abyss]

if you quit and rejoin the server

you lose your previous roles

Nothing we can do about that

[vital meadow]

is there a recommend setup for support fleet for 16-3 and 16-4

[wind hazel]

same as 15

maybe you'll find use in using essex on surface fleet so you can use hwah jah nakhimov instead. or you can also use independence on surface fleet, whatever that suits you

[vital meadow]

I am using Essex in mob

[wind hazel]

ok

[sweet merlin]

is pr/dr 1-3 usless now?

[whole crypt]

PR1 got unique augments and some have niches or otherwise see some mid-game level use

[atomic abyss]

PR1 ships are also much easier to get

Compared to later series ones

[sweet merlin]

do i need lvl 125 units for cgap 14+?

[atomic abyss]

Yes

Or rather

You'll be downright miserable without them for ch15 and 16

W14 isn't impossible at 120 but the difficulty jump is noticeable

[forest palm]

It helps mitigate the level diff debuff

[exotic sorrel]

Between Unicorn and Independence who should have the flapjack if they're both in the same fleet

[sweet merlin]

there are 2 holes in my comp. who fills them?

[sweet merlin]

why not both?

[onyx flame]

indep

[sweet merlin]

help?

[atomic abyss]

Indep

[forest palm]

CV fleet could use Sirius and Kazagumo, Mob fleet could take Unzen and Hindenburg

Helena could go in BB

[sweet merlin]

wdym connt be construvted

[plain saffron]

can't get from gacha, prob in medal shop

[rapid shard]

Shes i medal shop

[plain saffron]

devs clean up the gacha pool once in a while and move the removed ships to shops

[sweet merlin]

i need ti hard refresh my shop or get luck in re aqusituion...

sould i try to reaq?

[plucky ridge]

Im close to the handbook ch9 reward (Shinano or NJ). And i was wondering who to get since i already have 5 star NJ. So i should get Shinano? Also im close to the end of the free battle pass

[sweet merlin]

is armor breaks good for CVs?

[sweet merlin]

yea

[plucky ridge]

So Shinano

Is showing my teams necessary?

[sweet merlin]

tbh the consense is like "dont bother building unless amagi (CV) is in box"

stress on the CV part, its diffrent UR ship

[plucky ridge]

Im sorry but im still confused, you're saying to get or no shinano, cuz to me it seems you say to get shinano only if i have Amagi(CV)

Which i dont have

[sweet merlin]

get shiano of course

but im just saying dont build her

[rapid shard]

Youll pick Shinano from the reward but dont claim it till you only need one dupe to MLB her.

[sweet merlin]

because the perma units have been power crept and you should save bulins for newer UR

[plucky ridge]

Ok thanks

[viscid swift]

What no.

That's a vast fucking oversimplification.

[plucky ridge]

Wdym

[viscid swift]

You wouldn't spend UR bulins on Shinano because

1. The CN Anni drops in about 2 weeks with 2 new URs and Alsace will probably rerun soon after.

2. In order to get the best out of Shinano she wants to be paired with strong IJN CVs not just Amagi CV.

[plucky ridge]

Do you know what those URs might be? Also is Bis2 coming to perma? So i know to save my points

[forest palm]

we have a Bilibili stream on the 15th that will reveal all, no info on Bisco2

[turbid marsh]

hakuho or lion XD

[nocturne glade]

Does it actually matter what the URs will be? Better to wait 2 weeks for more information anyways right

[plucky ridge]

I mean ig i was js curious

[turbid marsh]

or time stop / nagato i guess, depending on boss tbh. really don't recommend using bulins on shinano at this point

[plucky ridge]

The longest part of ch9 handbook will be to get to 9-4 cuz im lvl 62 (i have to get to 70 right?)

And to craft an item in lab thingy

[forest palm]

grind ops with full fleets, spam 9-1 with full fleets, should get you the CMD XP you need...

[sweet merlin]

hmmm this will take a long time to max thos out

[plucky ridge]

Im still at 8-3 (didnt really play lately except of dailies)

Until i unlock 9-1 do i just spam 8-4 for exp?

[tulip tinsel]

no

[plucky ridge]

Then what

[sweet merlin]

yeah 8-4. try to see if you can use a 1:1 fleet

[plucky ridge]

Hm

[sweet merlin]

meaning 1 main, 1 vanguard to reduce oil

[plucky ridge]

I know i know

[tulip tinsel]

1:1 nukes your cmd xp rate

if you want xp 3:3

[plucky ridge]

So js normal fleet

These are the main fleets i use

For 8-3 currently

[onyx flame]

[plucky ridge]

Are they not good?😭

[onyx flame]

the issue is non mlb ur

[plucky ridge]

Ok now i see that i fully mlb NJ😭

[onyx flame]

no

is musashi 5 star? if so do hers instead

actually scratch that just hold the bulins

we got a new ur coming end of mayish
dont spread the ur bulins around its mlb or bust esp for ur since bulins are slow to come by

[plucky ridge]

No i js got her
Shes 3 star😭

[wind hazel]

use 1 fleet, nj unicorn enterprise jervis helena laffey, kick everyone else out

[viscid swift]

You need to read this.
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/progression-guide/

[plucky ridge]

Why

[wind hazel]

max limit break enterprise if she isn't yet, don't touch your NJ, keep her that way until you have better BB

[wind hazel]

because the rest are dogshit not max limit break

this is very good

[plucky ridge]

Gold bulins are scarce ok😭 i tried

[wind hazel]

this is dogshit

[forest palm]

If you have access to Siren Ops do that

[plucky ridge]

I do

[plucky ridge]

Even tough she's just lvl 86

[wind hazel]

doesn't matter, it's dogshit

[forest palm]

Siren Ops is free CMD XP

[plucky ridge]

Jervis or Vanguard bro

Im stupid ok

[wind hazel]

jervis is mlb, she's good. i told you to keep her

[plucky ridge]

Ok im sorry

[wind hazel]

just follow this. stop spreading your gold bulin

focus 1 ship at a time. you could mlb enterprise if you didn't put some into emden and carl as well

[viscid swift]

And read this.

[plucky ridge]

I got carl and emden before Enty im afraid

I got this aswell if it helps in any way

[viscid swift]

Yikes, almost textbook of what not to do.

[wind hazel]

.... then use the max limit break ships like nelson dezeven etc

[spark patio]

uh, what is the new guides for tierlist and their gears. I forgot the site again

[plucky ridge]

I just looked at the tier list and went " hm this ship is ranked high, time to lvl up"

[wind hazel]

good thing is you have nelson, and musashi chan is available. but idk how close 2lb nj vs her mlb

might as well continue using nj since high lv already

[viscid swift]

There's a reason I put this right at the top of the progression guide.

[plucky ridge]

So in essence, what should i fix

I know theres a lot to fix but i need the help

[viscid swift]

You hace no SR Bulins correct?

[plucky ridge]

Nope, but i haven't gotten the weekly one yet i think

[viscid swift]

Nelson, NJ, Unicorn, Jervis, Helena, Laffey.

Stick to just one fleet for now.

Once you do start getting more Bulins you can work on that second fleet.

[plucky ridge]

Is the community tier list site any good? Should i follow it?

[viscid swift]

No.

[soft raft]

ECTL is no longer maintained

[viscid swift]

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

[soft raft]

They really gotta make this more obvious

[viscid swift]

And give the progression a good read through

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

[plucky ridge]

Oh okay

[forest palm]

this is ECTL you're talking about, they've lacked the critical thinking to make things obvious

[plucky ridge]

Enty is still good right?

[nocturne glade]

yea

[plucky ridge]

One more thing, what PR/DR ships should i focus? Cuz i dont have any. Im currently working towards Roon cuz i heard she is the best from PR1

[nocturne glade]

if you have enough tech, you should look into the other pr ships like anchorage or shimanto

pretty sure theres a good page on suchis website

[viscid swift]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/194GQ9AJbmXjxUZAbMlnUCUQt6v_Tjnebedpbz7wn78c/edit?usp=drive_link

You might wanna give this a read.

[plucky ridge]

Thanks

[vital meadow]

For ch 16-3 support fleet, what if my hwajah is not fully leveled? Any other carrier that can replace her?

[viscid swift]

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

[frail pelican]

how do I get exp with iron blood main fleet ships for FDG when I barely have any iron blood main fleet ships?

this is all I got

[viscid swift]

Are you serious?

[exotic sorrel]

You have good choices wdym

Just slap Peter Strasser, Bismarck, and Graf then you're done

Or the mini ships too

[frail pelican]

[rose whale]

about opsi daily mission, if I only do the super rare ones, will the normal ones clog up the waiting mission list and make super rare unable to show up?

[sweet merlin]

where do i get my free UR 500 core?

[viscid swift]

What free core.

[sweet merlin]

spec core, the UR bulin currency

[viscid swift]

Yeah, what do you mean by "free". You get all of it from grinding.

[sweet merlin]

free cuz i have both URs at MLB so im going to recyle the ship

also what is a reserch subject unless they mean any research

[viscid swift]

Those cores count toward the monthly cap.

[viscid swift]

Also are you pulling in the permenant pool.

[sweet merlin]

no, ths the "free" UR for 9-4 althougfh i cant find it

[viscid swift]

That's what they mean yes.

[viscid swift]

It's a ticket in your depot.

[sweet merlin]

what is the item called? is it an envelop like th rest of the free recuits

[viscid swift]

Yes.

[weary edge]

oh shit i didnt know that LOL

[sweet merlin]

how mnau units can this last me?

[sweet delta]

tree fiddy

[rose whale]

at least 3 banners

[sweet merlin]

we ned to be able to convert from light blue to dark blue chips

[cold wraith]

Hi! How do I get that? It's from the Visit menu in Island Planner.

[tulip tinsel]

https://discord.com/channels/456397991847395339/1422463299877867540

[whole crypt]

we don't though

[sweet merlin]

how to gerenarete EXP packs

[whole crypt]

if you already have lecture hall just keep doing sorties with lv100+ MLB ships

[autumn marlin]

so, im a bit confused about how AOA works for subs. it says "when entering battle" for em all, yet from what i remember, dont they trigger upon surfacing?

[sweet delta]

where did you see for em all

[eternal basalt]

We need to convert dark blue to light blue!!!

[autumn marlin]

oohhh wait, i was getting stuff confused with I-404

since her AOA has a special condition

[sweet merlin]

im about to run out of chips

[autumn marlin]

huh...i wonder, are there any other ships who have special AOA conditions?

[eternal basalt]

Tons

[autumn marlin]

oh wait

[whole crypt]

you're about to run out of chips and you want to be able to convert chips to arrays?

[autumn marlin]

im dumb, i forgot, of course they all have conditions

man its been way too long since ive actually read all this

[sweet merlin]

is there an opsci guide for what to do every month?

[ivory pawn]

Cheeky's got a longer google doc somewhere, but it just boils down to clear every explorable zone once, and clear every shiny popup be they gold or red. And the red swirls too.

[sweet merlin]

how about the part where you start looping C1 with "stop auro explo at merchant"

[ivory pawn]

You do that after you've finished with what I said, and if/when you have a lot of stored AP boxes. Otherwise just dump your AP on C3 or C5.

[autumn marlin]

hmm...so what do people tend to prioritize with subs? direct damage with them, or more supportive capabilities that buff your fleet/debuff the enemy?

[sweet delta]

people tend to not prioritize subs

[viscid swift]

These days, all they are is extra damage.

[autumn marlin]

i mean...unless you're stingy with oil, its better to have em than to not have em

[untold shadow]

guys should i build up sovetsky soyuz with admiral nakhimov or save my cores for the new UR event

[ivory pawn]

Do you have 500+ Nakhimov blueprints?

[untold shadow]

not yet

not really close tbh

i'm trying to get as much pr ships as i can before new season comes out

[wraith pendant]

So you can't dev30 her so she's gonna not that good until you have enough BP to do that

[viscid swift]

I mean not really.

[wraith pendant]

so don't bother for now

[untold shadow]

i have around 185 prints as of now

[viscid swift]

They're harder to level up than and gear than normal ships with significantly less utility.

[autumn marlin]

i guess im assuming with the pretext that they're already leveled and geared up

[viscid swift]

And you can clear 90% of content quite comfortably without even touching them.

[autumn marlin]

like purely the use, not the grind to get them to that point

[viscid swift]

So it's only once you get to the point of tackling late campaign stages and hard arbiter that they really become useful.

[viscid swift]

Even in terms of just using them, most of the time you'll be farming not pushing content.

So yeah you don't want to bring subs because all they'll really do is increase your oil bill.

[untold shadow]

i just started w12 so i'm still trying to figure my fleets out in that sense to see if it'd be worth leveling some of them or not

[sweet delta]

i would use a sub that increases battle/sortie drops in Attack Mode (convoy raiding)

[autumn marlin]

yeeee, surprised we havent gotten any of those yet

[wraith pendant]

I would wait to see which URs are coming this month, then you'll see. Plus you don't need URs to reach 12-4 and start the farm fest

[untold shadow]

okay

[autumn marlin]

so...how exactly does the logic of skill stacking work? i tried reading the wiki, but i feel like i keep getting lost in semantics

[atomic abyss]

if they have the same or similar name they wont stack

that's the most important bit

[woven star]

Some skills have cap. Like EVA debuff... 20% max iirc. Other just arithmetic adds

[autumn marlin]

main exception being these, right?

[atomic abyss]

generally, it's easier to name skills that dont stack

[woven star]

But yeah some debuffs have secret name. If they same work only one

[atomic abyss]

than skills that do

[woven star]

Smoke doesn't stack. Maybe there's some exceptions but usually no

[timid beacon]

Should I 13+ LA-9?

[atomic abyss]

not especially high priority

[viscid swift]

Do you need more damage against medium armor.

[atomic abyss]

but it is worth at some point

[timid beacon]

I’ll hold off on it then thanks

[autumn marlin]

i guess im just confused about how this works

so they can both stack with the generic one, but the 2 special ones cant stack with each other in terms of the defense?

[hollow gust]

hamman skill is both ARA and flagship cover, it doesnt stack with similar skills

so none of those stack , and Hammann2 skill wont stack with ARA

[autumn marlin]

but this says it does stack with the generic one

so am i understanding this right?

[hollow gust]

huh is it a different, oh well, hammann doesnt stack with hammann2 is all you need to know. Not like you will ever use them

[crisp estuary]

[regal flax]

since the last update i have a notification on my setting tab, any idea whta it is?

[wraith pendant]

I'm wondering the same thing

[pseudo sandal]

audio asset updates

[regal flax]

thank you

Whats the max lvl for skills you upgrade at the Tactical Class

[sinful wind]

how do you get more coins?

am very broke

[weary edge]

farm 12-4

or wtv highest X-4 stage u can do

[timid beacon]

Is the LA-9 the best rocket fighter since it has usable armor mods for all types?

[mighty hearth]

I think its good for medium and heavy not sure about light

[forest palm]

if you lack HVARs, then you could run LA-9 on Light
though I think BF109G may still out the LA-9 on light still

[timid beacon]

I only have 1 and got it off the war archives is a bit of a pain

I only have an LA-9 and a HVAR and that one other iron blood fighter not the bf10g it’s the one with two rockets

Damn so people were overhyping the LA9…

[viscid swift]

I mean.

Define overhype, it's a good bit of kit to have around but very rarely is any piece of gear dominant against everything.

[atomic abyss]

if anything

people were overhyping the HVAR (as good as it is)

to the point people were going crazy trying to minmax how to farm it on yk2 rerun

[soft raft]

Didn't alot of people also belive that the bugged drop rate would be kept for the rerun

[rain vine]

i think it was mostly about the bugged drop rate

[forest palm]

to be fair as far as end game content is concerned we've been mostly in a Light/Med meta, so hyping up the HVAR for the current content trend isn't wrong

[viscid swift]

I mean sure but the cost of farming it is astronimical.

[forest palm]

Ain't arguing that, but it'll also more than likely land in GL

[viscid swift]

Possibly, we'll see what they announce this June.

[regal flax]

is it fine to enchance 5 star gear without checking a tier list?

[forest palm]

SSR Gear is a crap shot, not all of them are good, so no don't do that

[viscid swift]

Plates are a bit tight early on so you don't wanna waste them.

[soft raft]

A large chunk of gold rarity gear is shit
Higher rarity doesnt always mean better

for exampl, the 2nd/3rd best overall DB in the game is the Helldiver, and that's a purple rarity plane

[regal flax]

is this accurate?
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

[viscid swift]

Yes, this is even more accurate.
https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/

[regal flax]

thank you

how do i switch from ships to gear? i swear i pressed every button

[viscid swift]

What.

Are you trying to view your gear inventory? Go to the depot.

[sweet delta]

send screenshot what you see

I hope this helps

[hot lion]

any actual way to farm for these faster? specific stages with better drops atleast or smtn?

[sweet delta]

No

[regal flax]

and then it lists the ships and the page ends

[viscid swift]

Tap in the individual ships to see their gear reccs.

Most of them use standard ones, some do not.

[regal flax]

thank you

[frozen solstice]

did i lose my azur lane account...?

[viscid swift]

Did you not switch over to the new Yostar login system?

[frozen solstice]

I didn't do anything, today I updated the game etc.

[forest palm]

they've been pushing this update for months to move away from Twitter Logins

[frozen solstice]

nothing at all, unless I could find it here, but I doubt it. Gmail is mine

[frozen solstice]

first in game and only then connect?

[viscid swift]

The mandatory update already occured.

Hope you have your account details saved and it was bound to something because otherwise your account is gone.

[frozen solstice]

eh, first in the game new account, then connect

oh no...

[desert wren]

is there any list of item prio for commision?

[viscid swift]

Gems, cubes, then oil.

[desert wren]

so the one commision with 1000 oil requirement is not worth it?

[woven star]

No. Cuz it's convert oil in little amount of exp

[true stump]

Is there a way for me to get the unclaimed rewards from homecoming thing

[frozen solstice]

I'm too stupid, god I created a new account on the same Gmail. Now I have to click this key to play the game?

[viscid swift]

No.

Your old account for now is effectively lost.

[soft raft]

💀

[viscid swift]

You'll have to contact support with your UID and bind of your old account if you have any hope of recovering it.

[frozen solstice]

Jesus

[viscid swift]

If you have neither then as I said earlier, that account is lost permenantly.

[viscid swift]

If the event ended already then no.

[frozen solstice]

well, bye bye account

[viscid swift]

Yes, let it be known this is why you bind your account and pay attention to game news.

[frozen solstice]

No, for heaven's sake, why do I have to go through this hardship? Now they've acknowledged it.

[frozen solstice]

nothing

[viscid swift]

What.

[soft raft]

This is realistically on you for not paying attention to news when they have been telling us to do so for like at least three months

[frozen solstice]

I didn't follow the news at all

[forest palm]

they've been sneaking this in the news for months at this point....

[soft raft]

Then let this be a lesson to you
At this point the best you can do is hope staff can recover it, otherwise there's nothing you can do about it now

[frozen solstice]

Well, I can say goodbye to the account, at least I have an excuse not to come back

[forest palm]

unless you didn't check servers

[soft raft]

Also wouldnt they have put out in-game notices?
Especially the pop-up when you first log in during the day?

[frozen solstice]

I doubt they would help

[soft raft]

You havent even tried and you're already giving up?

[frozen solstice]

I already had trouble finding the account once

[wind hazel]

ok goodbye

[soft raft]

If you still have your UID written down somewhere, it's still worth a shot

[frozen solstice]

the whole definition of me

[frozen solstice]

I was gone for a month and a half? I think that's it.

[viscid swift]

As we've said, they announced this 3 months in advance.

[frozen solstice]

I don't even know the uid, only the old name

[sweet delta]

I think it was like 17 months in advance

[frozen solstice]

eh, I didn't do anything

It's a pity that I will lose three British Ur from the events

[sweet delta]

If you just want to keep chatting without doing anything then this isn't the right place

[frozen solstice]

I am idiot

month ago pf

sometimes...

[frozen solstice]

yea

[frozen solstice]

Um Facebook account saved the account, as I see and understand correctly

[true stump]

Fah, it said 1 day ago 12 hours ago

[sweet merlin]

wait chap 12 has EVD mechenics?

[wind hazel]

are you using trafalgar

that's your trafalgar's skill...

[sweet merlin]

ah i was so used to onlu see it in chap 14 i was suprosed to see it here. does it stack with chap 14 or no?

[wind hazel]

idk im stupid with the mechanics

[sweet merlin]

man why do they put such expensive missions in here man

[harsh mason]

cant you develop blue/purp to finish this

[wind hazel]

how are you in w14 yet you still haven't crafted any single thing from GL

[forest palm]

World 13 doesn't need GL gear...

also 14-1 is piss easy

[wind hazel]

that's irrelevant now is it

[forest palm]

You said, "in" you have to get past 13 to be in

[sudden spoke]

16-1 fleet help

[sweet merlin]

when i unlocked wl 14, the missions wernt there

[wind hazel]

i said his progress is up to w14 yet he hasn't crafted anything from GL, which gives really good gear to you

[sweet merlin]

i have done GL, but the missions arent retoactive

[wind hazel]

craft anything. wyvern, ju87, even tenzan kai. those are all gear upgrade for you

or get another quad mag

[sweet merlin]

are wyerns/flapjack heavy, med or HE?

finnaly rushed this thing in 2 days

[wind hazel]

wyvern is leaning towards heavy and med, but you use it for mobbing so it's irrelevant. same as flapjack

[signal path]

Am I doing anything wrong with their Gear?

Or its just RNG?

[sweet delta]

the gear is wrong but you won

[signal path]

Why Soyuz doing less dmg than my Warspite?

[sweet delta]

you should check the armor type of the boss by turning off fleet lock or using https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/bosses

[wind hazel]

who knows. maybe she crit

or maybe boss died during soyuz mid salvo

[signal path]

Oh so RNG okay but I barely see Soyuz became MVP I thought something's wrong with her Gear

[wind hazel]

you lose 10fp from that cl gun but that's about it. just dont care who gets mvp, it could even be Helena, what matters is enemy is dead

[signal path]

Yeah Im swapping that 2nd Gun, I don't do campaign above C12 anyway

[sweet merlin]

wone at 0:00 by a salvo.... is the dmg spread look like smth off or is this the expected spread

[pallid crystal]

How you got Bismarck?

[signal path]

I still don't know why Flap is better than Tiger in most guide I read.

[sweet merlin]

That is zwei

[pallid crystal]

Okay but how do you even get her?

[rain vine]

slower flight speed, more intercept chances

[sweet merlin]

But doent slower = planes get killed by aa

[rain vine]

that doesnt really matter if its just intercepting enemy planes

[sweet merlin]

Oh i thought it was intercepting ships

[sick kettle]

also the only stages where the enemies have good aa is w13+ other than that it almost nonexistent

[sweet merlin]

Its a torp bomber right

[rain vine]

its a fighter

[sweet merlin]

What do fighters do?

[rain vine]

fly out and shoot down enemy planes

[rain vine]

wait for the event to be permanently added and get her from the 400 build pity

[sweet merlin]

Or for the next rerun

[rain vine]

it already had a rerun, we're just waiting for it to be added permanently

[sweet merlin]

For opsi should i have ap/he boss fleets or cv/bb boss fleet?

[nocturne glade]

cv bb, ap he are for different types of armor

[signal path]

Is this Gold +13 better than Rainbow Twin +10 (18s CD) BB Main Gun?

[sweet merlin]

Yeah bosses armour are different too

[viscid swift]

You mean a 457? Not in this context.

[nocturne glade]

Arbiter is the only thing with a relevant armor type usually, since your mobbing clears everything else

[signal path]

I mean She'll get to Salvo 1 more time and skill can do extra more dmg.

[viscid swift]

And she'll only sync with Helena for maybe 2 salvos.

[sweet merlin]

@viscid swift you you have a monthly opsi guide?

[viscid swift]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cLPieopZYrpcu_0tqFjs0vcZ5ZqBgafWuQQ9MZkn0xQ/edit?usp=drive_link

[signal path]

Oh I didn't think about that, my Helena barely trigger her skills😭

[sweet merlin]

Ok htf do yall get 700+ i only get ~130

[viscid swift]

C1 farming.

[signal path]

Whats C1?

[rain vine]

corrosion level 1

[sweet merlin]

What is the difference between root and stuck, stuck, root

[viscid swift]

Bismarck's black hole actually sucks enemies towards its center.

[sweet merlin]

How does c5 cost less than c4

[viscid swift]

It doesn't?

[sweet merlin]

Oh wait mis read

Is the oil to ap method not recommended? I used to do it at the begening of the month to bulldoze content

[viscid swift]

No, you're just wasting oil.

Better to spend it grinding W12.

[sweet merlin]

But w12 dosnt drop gl mats

[viscid swift]

You have a month to clear everything with natural AP regeneration.

I reiterate, it is a waste.

[sweet merlin]

Do i just keep the mission ur ticket if i have both mlb?

[inner delta]

if you dont need them then keep them

[timid beacon]

Do you guys convert your t1 ordinance report things to rainbow ones?

[viscid swift]

You can't convert T1s to T2s.

[timid beacon]

My bad I mean these

[viscid swift]

When I need them yeah.

Though I have a lot more than the average player.

[timid beacon]

Oh that I’m sure of

[mighty tulip]

For FdG and other DRs you only get 150 BPs thru catch up period?

[weary edge]

yes

[soft raft]

All DRs have their own 150 BP catchup while all PRs within a season share 300

[harsh mason]

hi guys is there a "gear allocation priority" guide (ie who gets what gear, and why)? ive only been able to find one for which gear to +13 first

[soft raft]

There's no real "allocation priority" outside of very niche cases, but there is this for a list of what's considered good
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/quick-gear-guide/

[harsh mason]

well i have some UR gear i was just trying to figure out who should get it first hahaha, i figure the "what" to give can be derived from the ship tierlist

[soft raft]

If you mean ECTL, dont
That is no longer maintained

And ngl that's kind of a odd angle to approach gearing when the majority of the time, alot of the ships within a given hulltype essentially have the same gear reqs

[forest palm]

just say it's abandoned cause that's what it is

[harsh mason]

i meant this one https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/

[sweet delta]

then it's a case by case thing. You can kind of guess, if two ships you're using have the same UR gear listed as the top option for your use case, then prioritize giving it to the ship with stronger damage

[harsh mason]

hmm icic, tysmm

[agile pewter]

Is halford good since she's getting free bp

But again series 7 shouldn't be too bad right

[wind hazel]

she's mediocre

[sweet merlin]

How do i spawn more of these

Istg that is what bottoe necking me from spamming gl

Apart from coins

[forest palm]

there is no dedicated source in Ops, you just have to farm Ops an hope it drops, of course you have Strongholds, and Abyssal for high density drops

[sweet merlin]

How do i spawn more abyssals?

[forest palm]

again just play Ops, there's some in the shops

game rewards active an constant play

[sweet merlin]

The shops are empty

Fml for building so many ships at once

Won at 0:00 by a salvo.... is the dmg spread look like smth off or is this the expected spread

[uneven knot]

hey guys who should i get from the exchange and who would you mlb next?

[sweet delta]

for mlb, ask in 2 weeks
for pity, you can dupe yorkii or ask in 2 weeks too, losing 11/400 for the delay to gather more information doesn't cost too much

[deep thicket]

How do I adjust the timings for Nakhimov and Soyuz?

[sweet delta]

/calc plug in your reload tech and appropriate cats and affinity

[odd root]

Bridal Z23

Calculator for precise fleet reload times by mrlar

[sweet merlin]

Should i reto san diego?

[deep thicket]

First time using this calculator. Does this mean I have to equip some timing gear to Nakhimov?

[rain vine]

yes, nakhi needs to be several seconds faster

[deep thicket]

What would you recommend putting on her? I’m trying to use her in chapter 15-1 with Soyuz as the boss fleet against a medium armored boss

[sweet delta]

You don't sync them for campaign , you should do the opposite, in fact

And change the bf109g to a bombs fighter like flapjack

[rain vine]

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

[deep thicket]

I’ve been reading this guide in segments for days actually Lol. That’s where I seen this and wanted to try it out

[rain vine]

world 14+ boss nodes are just mob nodes with a buffed up enemy at the end
you need consistent damage

[ancient ridge]

Whats the prio for gems again?

[wraith pendant]

/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 💳.

[ancient ridge]

ohh didnt know had such commands tyvm!

[white agate]

when is the live?

[frozen solstice]

I don't know much about this game now

[vale spindle]

live stream? Usually the weekend before the UR event drops so i expect a week or two

[vale spindle]

Do /guide in #bot-spam for more info

[drifting bramble]

Which ship from the shipyard is recommended focusing on first?

[whole crypt]

one that you can work on

there's 2 parts to research ships, one is unlocking them in shipyard which you should just pick one you can actually unlock, usually something from PR1 for early on
to enhance research ships you need blueprints, in which case you should pick the newer/newest seasons to work on because ships of older series can be enhanced with coins and the gear from those series can be made elsewhere or are out of date

[drifting bramble]

I am new so I just wanna work on my first one I"ll then just pick the one I can do first

[white agate]

thanks

[limpid meadow]

who is the best?

[atomic abyss]

shinano

[wraith pendant]

Go for Anchorage, never look back

but focus research on PR8 so your research projects start giving you blueprints for ships and gear from this series

[sweet merlin]

what does evd down do?

why is my damage some times like this

then sometimes i get this.

[wind hazel]

you hit the enemy more. more accurate=more damage

[untold sierra]

Hi guys, I was normally farming Algeria in Meta Showdown, but I switched to Kirov. The first image is the result I got while I was farming Algeria in Meta, and the second one is Kirov. Meta weapons, etc., everything was the same, but why did it change?

[wind hazel]

different armour

algerie is medium, kirov is light

[untold sierra]

So what do you recommend for more damage?

[wind hazel]

i recommend you to just skip doing dossier because your fleet is, to be quite frank, really terrible in every way

what you can do is wait for bismarck zwei to be archived, get her. continue developing your Mecklenburg. see what is the new UR this month, very likely to be BB, so very high chance you can use these 3 as your BBs. get plymouth from PR5, dev30 her. change your vanguard to agir helena plymouth, and you are good to retry dossier

light armour boss=use mk2/6/7
med or heavy=use AP guns

[untold sierra]

It's a long road to unlocking Plymouth, ı need 200 royal tech points. Thanks mori

[wind hazel]

200 should be easy, just go hunt for some bb cv or vanguard you havent gotten, mlb them. even purple ones are good

the sooner you can unlock plymouth the better

[sweet merlin]

..?

[spark patio]

who should i prioritize? GL or Mecklenburg

[undone plover]

meck

[spark patio]

Also what should i buy in coredata shop? i already bought 3 french planes, 3 white shells, 2 black shells, 3 snorkels, 3 pressures, 2 tables, Independence.

cats too

[whole crypt]

chips and arrays

[spark patio]

ty but i still have plenty of leftovers. should i buy ships in there?

[whole crypt]

you should buy all the chips and arrays you can get because when you get around to leveling you spend them way faster than you get them

that was fast

[wind hazel]

buy cogs, arrays, beacon, elite aviation

[spark patio]

I had like a lots of them , feel like the ships getting slow or it's me grinding shit slow?

[wind hazel]

buy more oxytorp

[whole crypt]

you pretty much have the essentials anyway, you can burn through 100k chips in about half a year

[spark patio]

Ik all the first 3, but what is elite aviation?

[wind hazel]

/wiki elite aviation

[odd root]

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

[spark patio]

I get like 3-40 ships 120 a year, im a doing good or just shit?

[whole crypt]

sounds slow

[wind hazel]

30-40 or 3-40 lol

[spark patio]

30-40

[whole crypt]

that's less than the number of new ships we get each year I think?

[wind hazel]

kinda slow, i am more than double your rate

[spark patio]

aight im try harder next year, I needed like 2-3 months to get 12-4 😭

[whole crypt]

after you get there it's pretty fast if you keep grinding

[wind hazel]

next year ❎
next day ✅

[whole crypt]

at least you want to level ships faster than you get them which is more than 40 a year I think

[spark patio]

wait, when there was a event, u guys all grind the event until u all get enough points/tokens. like grind enough points/tokens for a day then switch to 12-4 or grind event everyday until you get enough amount of for the milestones then switch to 12-4?

cuz the exp in event is hella bad comparing to 12-4

i grind my ships lvl there

[whole crypt]

I regularly do 70k for books and often 100k on UR events as a matter of personal preference, you don't need that many event points in general

disclaimer I also basically have nothing to level

besides the new ships. that is

[spark patio]

I mean like i take a lot of time to lvl my ships to 120 cuz of doing event stages to get 55k point in a event then i can go grind 12-4 stages

[wind hazel]

depends on mood. sometimes minmax i calculate remaining points to reach 55k, sometimes i just grind until 55k and dip regardless of remaining days

only takes like 3-4 days to get 55k in one go

[spark patio]

then u switch back to 12-4 stages to level up ships

[wind hazel]

14-1

[spark patio]

14-1 i thought ship lv 70 cant survive that stage

[sweet merlin]

man where are the AP packs

[wind hazel]

i dont use lv70 ships

[wind hazel]

in my pocket

[onyx flame]

I ate it

[spark patio]

[whole crypt]

14-1 is better chip/oil but it's worse xp/oil than 12 so it kind of depends on what your current bottleneck is

if you're someone leveling in 14-1 then bumping a ship to a survivable level with dorm/xp packs shouldn't really be a problem

[sweet merlin]

is gouden worth to dev?
what is the best spot to farm XP/moral?

[whole crypt]

Gouden Leeuw is fairly good

the highest XP per fight is probably 16-4 but I don't think you'll be doing any much leveling there

[sweet merlin]

should i make adminaral just for soyuv>

rare sight of a dead laffy

[sweet merlin]

what is the % chance of of a merchant appearing in scured zones with purple+ AP stuff

[soft raft]

🔮

Also even if we knew the chances, that would likely be quite the low chance since we're talking about 2 layers of RNG here

[sweet merlin]

who to Cog awk+?

should i dev and build adminaral just for soyuv

[whole crypt]

just work on something you can work on, I doubt you can finish nakhimov at any haste anyway

[woeful compass]

Hello guys do you always aim for rainbow gears on the gear lab or do you aim specific gold gears?

[whole crypt]

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

[woeful compass]

Thank you

[sweet merlin]

istg Shinano gear are the most expensive i have ever seen

[whole crypt]

that really depends on what you're using her for
bossing she uses 2 slots of gold converging TBs

[sweet merlin]

til there are presets... so 1 for campaign, 1 fore light 1 for heavy?

cant belive i am being rate limited by the thing in the middle

is Z52 or guam a better main tanker

[wind hazel]

guam

you shouldnt be using that dogshit dive bomber on shinano btw

[sweet merlin]

i only have dong shuit suff unforunatly

[wind hazel]

take the tenrai from fritz

let fritz use fighter+torpedo bomber

you can get more helldiver from techbox too

[sweet merlin]

which

[wind hazel]

🫃🏼 you are using regal, just click around

[sweet merlin]

when we say chips, is it light blue or dark blue?

@sweet delta could you add a guide on flares for chap 14 brief? thx https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief

[wind hazel]

sometimes you can check these things ingame by yourself

[exotic sorrel]

They're tiered best to decent options

[timid beacon]

2 VIT change mode dive bombers I think

[exotic sorrel]

Speaking of which I just got Swiftsure, her skills seem really good for the later chapters is she worth using?

[timid beacon]

Does Shinano have any skill that makes the torpedos hit the enemy 100%?

[exotic sorrel]

I don't think so, she needs to be paired with a slower iirc

[timid beacon]

I swear I saw someone say something like that guess not

[viscid swift]

Not really no.

[exotic sorrel]

Okay goodtoknow I'll just get the tech points from swifty

[sweet merlin]

shoulr i replace anyone in my team?

[exotic sorrel]

Wow so many 🌈s

[viscid swift]

Well there is one thing you can do.

[sweet merlin]

cap 13+ is hard, alright

[exotic sorrel]

I don't think you necessarily need a full UR team to clear ch13+

Saying this as if I didn't just regret doing ch13 instantly after unlocking it a while ago and losing..

[sweet merlin]

do these missions give enough chips to fully chese a DR xp grind?

[viscid swift]

Maybe, they should all be converted to prototype cores though.

[sweet merlin]

is trafalgar or agir better for chap 14 boss?

[exotic sorrel]

Ranking shows Agir is in S tier whilst Trafal is only on A

So yeah Agir it is

[frank wind]

How to get gifts for affinity?

[hushed sorrel]

as far as i know only from island planner season store

[frank wind]

limited?

[hushed sorrel]

limited but it get new supply each month

[frank wind]

aight thanks

[sweet merlin]

how am i getting this?

[plain saffron]

are you using I-404?

prob that 2nd skill

[sweet merlin]

dont have her

how does laffy, the best tank, only have 150% ehp? is port land that good?

[sweet delta]

That's eHP against some kind of enemy bullet assumptions and without a healer

[sweet merlin]

do i need asw for chap 14 boss fleet?

[plain saffron]

she's in submarine fleet

[sweet merlin]

she is literaly not in my acc

is asclase that squisy

[plain saffron]

who's the sub you're using

[viscid swift]

Da Vinci and Barroca also have it among a few others.

[plain saffron]

there's other subs that have same skill

[sweet merlin]

oh da vinci

[plain saffron]

is it all italian subs

[whole crypt]

Torricelli doesn't

unless you're only counting SRs

[weary edge]

there’s a sub named Torricelli? 😭

[atomic abyss]

yes

that's her^

[weary edge]

oh cool, was the sub named after evangelista torricelli?

okay upon further research, it's literally Archimede class submarine Evangelista Torricelli lol

[molten gorge]

Hi, can somebody explains to me the "one-fleet" method to speedrun to chapter 9? I mean does it really use only one fleet to play through chap 9 or use 2 fleet but only spend upgrading on 1? <

[forest palm]

pretty sure it's the Brin-Class Torricelli, whose namesake was Evangelista Torricelli

[sweet delta]

the latter

[weary edge]

oh

[burnt sentinel]

Hiii I was wondering is Chen hai worth building?

[tulip tinsel]

Nah

[viscid swift]

https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/534

Just tech and W15 support fleet fodder.

[molten gorge]

Can someone take a look at my fleets? Do I need some adjustments or I can keep them and go through chap9? (Please be specific)

[viscid swift]

They're bad, give tis a read.

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

[tulip tinsel]

Fleet 2 everyone gone

[viscid swift]

If you on track to keep Musashi Chan permenantly use her over Pennsylvania.

[burnt sentinel]

Rip all my elites and SRs r D tier

[molten gorge]

I'm very close to get her, but I wonder should I use her on fleet 1 or any other better replacement?

[viscid swift]

Unlikely that you have better replacements.

[weary edge]

most are tbh

[cedar cave]

do cats in sub fleet affect stats of the main fleet? like if they get a BB stat node

[nocturne zenith]

When leveling do y'all advise new players to level ships in a way that makes them give some priority to fleet tech?

[ivory pawn]

Good ships > good fleet tech > everything else.

No point worrying about fleet tech before you reach chapter 12 and before you have good fleets.

[nocturne zenith]

Also. I'm level 76 but haven't touched OpSi much.
Was wondering if for the earlier zones can I just run 1 fleet (Lots of healing in it with dmg so I wonder how long that fleet can hold out) or 2 fleets.

[rapid grail]

well nah, at firdt you use your best fleets. that advice comes later on once you get your first 2 fleets up in w9-12

by then, yes, yes it will be. Especially if you do plan to play the game in the long term.

BB FP, HIT, RLD, CV/L same stuff, DD HP, FP, so much more that players would like to prioritize. Because fleet tech mstters more, especially in late game contents.

This also means you will have to level up around 640+ ships as of counting. (Rough estimate, does not include children, Muse variants, collab botes)

[viscid swift]

Just relevant tech isn't even 600 ships.

[rapid grail]

Prio what you have in dock and what ships you can get from the perma pools, War Archive, upcoming and rerun events

[rain vine]

almost all of opsi can be done with your mob fleet

[nocturne zenith]

Yes mid play through I've decided for now ignore colab ships as much as possible unless something broken comes along.
Currently I'm aiming for Iris Libre tech for Bayard and Brest. My Italian tech is basically sorted already.
But the Royal Navy tech seems like a mountain. Plymouth seems a year away

[nocturne zenith]

I'm trying to prioritise leveling battleships where possible

[gilded hare]

We're in the same situation right now, I don't have many good ships, I just unlocked captain 75 and I'm just farming until I unlock chapter 12

I need to get my hands on Anchorage but I don't have enough tech points for her ;((

[gilded hare]

Is this fleet good enough to clear chapter 12?? I think I need to swap out my laffey in the mob fleet

[nocturne zenith]

You've been much more efficient than I have nice.
Just out of curiosity. How long have you been playing?

[exotic sorrel]

My lobster is too buttery and my steak is too juicy 💔💔

Where's your Nelson I thought she was supposed to be retrofitted

[gilded hare]

Around last 2 months I think

[gilded hare]

Musashi replaced her and my Warspite deserved the retrofit blueprints anyways

[rapid grail]

just remember, it will all take time

it's alright. play at your own pace

best pace is leveling up more ships than the game can introduce to you in the upcoming months

[nocturne zenith]

Damn makes me feel like I've played too much for a month.
Imma go touch some grass ig

[hot lion]

since i dont have Hakuhou or AmagiCV, should i start working on Hakuryu to replace Enterprise in my boss fleet? or keep on working shinanto to replace belfast and prinz?

actually might replace eugen with de zeven for the frontline

[viscid swift]

Boss fleet for what exactly?

[sweet delta]

that looks like Fleet 1 of normal campaingn/event

and why are you farming with level 125 ships?

[safe nexus]

Is there only f6f hellcat hvar mounted to have hvar?

[native folio]

should I use Alabama or Musashi-Chan as BB? I keep hearing different things

[sweet delta]

they are basically the same strength for campaign, Musashi is better later in opsi, Alabama is much more expensive to invest in, Alabama gives 40 more eagle union tech points for the limit breaks

[native folio]

what are eagle union tech points?

[ivory pawn]

Also +1 FP at 120.
My vote is if both are LB0 use Musashi-chan, if both are MLB use Alabama.

[native folio]

they're both 1 away from MLB right now, I could MLB alabama i have enough bulins

[sweet delta]

didn't i tell you to use both?

if you're only going to use one, then the longer you delay the choice, the more you lose

alabama needs the unique augment cost too, we can discount the 15 aug cores because you don't have any other ships that need a unique augment, but it's 21k coins

at this point it's Musashi -chan for sure because you can just pick up Alabama's tech points later, and then Alabama too if you want to replace long island

[native folio]

Should I still use helena, javelin, unicorn, and portland?

I have indomitable, san diego, san francisco, jervis, prinz eugen. are they any good?

[sweet delta]

whenever you replace a high level ship by a level 1 ship, you're delaying your progress to the efficient farms like chapter 9

[safe nexus]

How to find ships that do AA debuff? For Lexginton II

[native folio]

ok, my pennsylvania is lvl 89 rn and musashi-chan is lvl 31, should i just stick with penn for now then? or use exp to level musashi up

[safe nexus]

Ideally stick to your current team till you clear 9-1 then you can start farming exp using 9-1 repeatedly

[hot lion]

im close to lvl 80 so autofarming a bit

[hot lion]

general for now

just wanna know if its worth starting hakuryu research

[midnight parrot]

is it better for me to get new jersery or shinano here? I can get one of them from the rookie mission invite

[viscid swift]

I'd just hold onto the ticket since they'll just be -1 dock space for a while.

[midnight parrot]

When should I use it?

[viscid swift]

What other ships can you research?

[viscid swift]

When you need another dupe for limit breaking Shinano realistically.

[midnight parrot]

so when I get enough UR bulins I should use the ticket on shinano then?

[viscid swift]

No.

[midnight parrot]

[viscid swift]

You'll likely not prioritze Shinano for UR Bulins.

[midnight parrot]

so would it be New Jersey then?

[viscid swift]

No, there's a good chance you might not work on either for a long time.

[midnight parrot]

I see

so just save it till when I get a copy of either of them?

[viscid swift]

Effectively.

[midnight parrot]

if I had both then itd go to shinano rather than new jersey right or would getting a new jersey dupe be better

[viscid swift]

You'd get a dupe to limit break Shinano if you had both.

[midnight parrot]

Alright thank you

[native folio]

I'm level capped right now, I am lvl 51 but need lvl 60 to get to chapter 8. do I just spam level 7-4?

[viscid swift]

That or you buy the level 70 commander pack for 5 bucks.

[timid beacon]

Any idea when Plymouth’s Fate Simulation coming?

[viscid swift]

No.

Last DR Fate sim was over 2 years ago now.

[earnest wigeon]

was wondering the same but im close to maxing her stats

[timid beacon]

We gonna get fried when it happens

[safe nexus]

Why do I do more dmg on my own Meta boss and not the same for others

[viscid swift]

Support Barrage.

[nocturne zenith]

In OpSi it better to go for full stars on a zone you cleared or go for other zones?

[ivory pawn]

Ignore stars, they're longterm achievements. Lots of them you only get one pull at a slot machine per month.

[viscid swift]

Stars can take literally years to get.

[spark patio]

How do i grind ships lvl efficiently when having an event? grind a good mount of event stages then go to 12-4 stages or spam event stages everyday until i get enough 55k or 35k for rerun then go for 12-4 afterwards?

[wraith pendant]

You can check how much event points you do per day from dailies + SP + occasional x3 or X5 stages first runs, multiply by the number of days the event will be going on for, then see how much more runs you need to do to cover X missing points to reach your goal, and spend the rest of your daily oil on 12-4

tis what I do

because spamming event and doing no exp and no gold drives me nuts

[clear harbor]

If I get ambushed in campaign, is there a benefit to attacking the ambush proactively instead of trying to evade it first?

[weary edge]

no

they dont even contribute to the map star condition nor the required fleets to spawn the boss

[hollow gust]

you shouldnt even be getting ambushed

[weary edge]

you get ambushed in earlier campaign stages

[hollow gust]

Get more DDs and Carriers

[nocturne zenith]

What's the green icon?

[sweet delta]

siren research facility, one time thing

[clear harbor]

Isn't that yellow? Green are daily missions? Not quite accurate.

[sweet delta]

yellow is hidden zones, a.k.a. map coordinates

green is also daily missions, but they haven't unlocked daily missions

[nocturne zenith]

Had me worried as I'm colourblind

[clear harbor]

Oh I see. I stand corrected.

[sweet delta]

~~It has only been 5 years, but I still remember when I did the research facility like it was yesterday 👴 ~~

[vital meadow]

how tf do you kill all the enemies in 16-4

when my ship run outta ammo backline gets annhilated

[soft raft]

I'd strongly reccomend you get the threat level to safe first before you even think of doing that

[vital meadow]

its at safe

[weary edge]

what kinda stats/skills do you want on meowfficers

[sweet delta]

Flame + ACE/Soulful/Wolf
BB/CV/SS Officer, BB FP, Destiny
SS RLD, SS TRP, CV AVI, CV RLD

[forest palm]

Man that's jumbled mess that doesn't make any sense on the surface

[weary edge]

ill send it to the nsa and see if they can decipher it

[nocturne zenith]

Why do I keep getting these lvl 15 bosses?:(
where are the level 1 and 2 meta bosses...
They were there then I pressed something and they vanished

[ivory pawn]

On the left, those are other people's bosses. Your own boss will probably be level 3 next time you summon one, and it'll go up 1 level with every win until level 15.

On the right, that's a past boss, they are always level 15 from the get go. But in return, you can just fight once and press autodeploy to spend up to 200 (I think) oil to clear it after 15 minutes while you do whatever.

[inland shoal]

To get back you'd want to press "My Bosses"
And probably kill that Jintsuu cuz not doing so is a bit of a waste of coords

[nocturne zenith]

So unless I'm done with Jintsuu I can't get back to summoning my normal bosses then?

[inland shoal]

I do not remember that tbh

[nocturne zenith]

Oki no worries. Will find out ig xD
Thanks again

[viscid swift]

You can only have one of your own META showdowns active at a time.

[agile pewter]

Is it possible to get the rainbow cat talents from pawprint upgrades

Or must they come with the cat already

[ivory pawn]

It's pawsible. Rare, but pawsible.

[brisk dragon]

what AA guns should be using?

[sweet delta]

Click your ship https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/

[brisk dragon]

i mean in general
for fillers

[sweet delta]

Click your filler ship then

[brisk dragon]

hmmm

oh i'm blind. i had to select for what content xd

[desert wren]

what to do with dupes when ship is already MLB?

[ivory pawn]

Retire 'em.

[lime owl]

Is there any place i can see reliable ship rankings? The one i used prior stopped being updated and idk whats reliable or not

[desert wren]

do I need them when retrofitting? Cause the MLB ship hasn't retrofitted yet

[ivory pawn]

[ivory pawn]

You do need 1 (more for SRs) for retrofitting yes, though personally at that point I just use a Bulin.

[lime owl]

Thx

[desert wren]

Talking about Bulin, is it worth it to use them on blue rarity ship and below?

[ivory pawn]

If you need to MLB 'em yes. We get tons of purples, no need to sweat too hard about where you're using 'em.

[soft raft]

Purple bullin income is faster than the other two so you're free to use them as you wish

[hearty trout]

accidentaly got belfast from daily gacha, is she good for endgame ?

[soft raft]

no lol

[wanton stone]

she'll take you far enough, probably not worth going past 110. certainly not past 120

[soft raft]

Just dont bother with her outside of tech grinding

[wanton stone]

if you dont have anything better shes not worthless, decent enough for early game

[hearty trout]

im still at chapter 5-1 tho, how far she can go

[wanton stone]

bro you can do chapter 12 before you even start to think about min maxing

whenever an event starts get those characters, theyll for sure be better if theyre sr

[hearty trout]

i see, thanks

[sweet delta]

don't use mediocre gold or rainbow ships who you can't max limit break. especially before chapter 9, switching in level 1 ships just delays your progress

[weary edge]

what's the desireable amount of cubes you want to go into a new UR event with again? 400?

[sweet delta]

400 guarantees the UR ship for that event

[weary edge]

ah, right, well ig ill just have to pray it doesnt come to that lol

[signal path]

Whats this new upcoming event?

[ivory pawn]

The usual do a thing every day you were probably doing anyways and get a minor reward, until day 7 when you get a unique purple aux.

[signal path]

Is the event Omen in Dust Spot New or just another Rerun?

[ivory pawn]

It's new.

[soft raft]

That's the Call to Arms event preceeding a new event

[fluid fjord]

Is there a link for the top priority ships to develop? Or is it just look in the tier list and work on looking at each unit?

And I mean like from the “shipyard” with the 5 units in each of the 8 series

[sweet delta]

You can try this

[sweet delta]

Did you mention 11-1? Some people might get level locked from 12 and it's fine to start some shipyard at 11-1

[viscid swift]

Not really, I can add that quickly though.

[sweet merlin]

is it normal for aslace to almost die in chap 14? also do chap 14 boss have subs?

[fluid fjord]

Perfect thank you, I know it takes a long time to even get the ship with the exp grind. That’s why I wanted to see what the top priority ones were so I can make sure I start focusing on the right one instead of wasting time because I have enough tech points to access a handful of them in the later series.

I’ll give that link a read! Appreciate it

[sweet delta]

https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-detailed#threats

[hot turret]

Is dust specked omen the new UR?

Or is it just another rerun

[viscid swift]

No, it's a preview event with a new aux gear.

[hot turret]

Preview event?

[viscid swift]

Prelude event I mean.

[hot turret]

Kinda confused here...

[viscid swift]

The big events usually have a small prelude event to set up the main event proper.

[sweet merlin]

do i put the hedgehog on z52, laf or eldrige?

[hot turret]

Oooh ok nice

[sweet merlin]

team wipe on w14-3 boss. need help

[viscid swift]

Dare I ask what gear you're using.

[sweet merlin]

1 moment

[forest palm]

doubt it's anti-light

[viscid swift]

I said this for W13.

So it's absolutely unacceptable for W14.

Alsace's auxilary gun isn't up to par.

[forest palm]

Shinano incurring a 14% penalty isn't helping either...

[soft raft]

The lack of a lvl 10 skill anywhere in there is extremely disturbing

[forest palm]

it gets worse the more you look

[woeful compass]

Hello guys i just started opsi recently do you aim for rainbow gear immediately?

[viscid swift]

Kinda.

You'll need 2-3 months to be able to craft your first UR gear from the lab.

[woeful compass]

Thank you very much which actual ur gear were you usually aiming for?

[viscid swift]

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

[woeful compass]

I appreciate it thank you

[sweet merlin]

how long would it take me to max them out

[viscid swift]

A while, it'll be a few weeks at minimum.

Then again, these should have all been maxed out a long time ago.

[grizzled heron]

Bruh why is my amagi doing less damage than implacable

[atomic abyss]

Is she synced

My guess is she's not synced with impla unlike hakuhou

So most of her torps are missing

[grizzled heron]

Im not sure because my implac launches at 21.83s, while my haku and amagi launch at 22.08 and 22.09 respectively

[atomic abyss]

Try pushing amagi earlier

See if it helps

[grizzled heron]

Aight

[atomic abyss]

Actually no, test that squad against something actually tanky

For a better picture

Then try to adjust amagi

[grizzled heron]

Yeah Im doing bunch of testing rn

[sweet merlin]

what do i do with the 4th fleet in opsi?

[atomic abyss]

If you have nothing good for it
Just fill it up with whatever you have left
It's better to have 3 good fleets than 4 okay fleets

Crossfleets could work

[sweet merlin]

what is a BM?

[atomic abyss]

Battle monitors

They are meant to be low cost farming units
In reality you just don't use them

[sweet merlin]

ah ok

[rain vine]

dont you want implac to launch 2nd?

[atomic abyss]

Ideal but not strictly necessary for impla as it is for avp

If I had to guess it's actually the ICD causing issues

[sweet merlin]

where did retrowoolage go?

wait doent enty like to be with uss ships? why is fleet req 0?

[atomic abyss]

No?

Enty has 1 skill

And it's a 70% do deal double dmg + few seconds of invul

She has no US skill

Other US CVs have that skill

And enterprise is usually the best candidate for non URs

You are reading her skill right

[molten gorge]

Is kolh meta good to use in early game?

[atomic abyss]

No

Metas are generally bad early game

Even the good ones are bad early game

[molten gorge]

got it

[sweet merlin]

can ships/z52 auto targetting bullets hit out of screen ships?

did ecgc and regal copy each other

[spark patio]

what is this? what should i choose here?

[forest palm]

4th option

Smash Boxes

[peak fable]

Are they the worst main fleet units or are there any worse than that?

[atomic abyss]

worst would be the repair ships

also they arent bad for super low cost farming

they just dont work well in hard mode slots

and ranger is cheaper

[peak fable]

Fair enough

Wait are BMs even continued in Azur?

Not sure if I missed it, but afaik there are only 3?

[small kraken]

How do I affinity trust grind

Should I just draft them on 3rd times loop of sortie

[onyx flame]

just use them in battle you should natually get it to 100 affinity when your leveling a ship to 120

[small kraken]

I just choose Shimakaze over Implacable

[onyx flame]

[small kraken]

Am I choosing wrong thing or just fine

[onyx flame]

very wrong unless you very like shima i guess

[small kraken]

oh darn

also also

[onyx flame]

[exotic sorrel]

Musashi best choice for campaign

Kinda upset she doesn't have a good HE alternative that's just like Yamato gun

[small kraken]

darn, I though UvH and NJ is good

[small kraken]

NJ and Vanguard blank?

[signal path]

Up to what PR is coinable?

[onyx flame]

dr is 5

[signal path]

Do I do this now or not worth it?
