@hardy geyser a lot of rare ships have good level 120 tech

It's pretty ungood
https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/735

Not 37, but flasher, homura, u-81

[hoary relic]

what abt her 2nd skill? isnt that would make her barrage/salvo harder to sync?

[hardy geyser]

Oh, I burned them, I only have the ones that are for the collection

[hardy geyser]

And limited

[hardy geyser]

And thank you very much, I needed a tier list

[soft osprey]

now that i realized

but a 556 META, 404 and 2501 sub team is kinda op

[undone plover]

Use normal 20s guns and sync 50%
Better than the alternative

[weary edge]

u2501 regal rating when

[sinful relic]

how do i get this?

[lean latch]

Iirc, It can be obtain from event reward i think?

[weary edge]

if you're trying to craft agir gun you might be better off just buying the blueprints for it with protocores

[tulip tinsel]

alr on regal

[weary edge]

although it's rather near the bottom of the protocore priority list

[weary edge]

ah i just had to reload the site

[tulip tinsel]

that's not the gir gun btw

this

[weary edge]

it crafts into agir gun

[tulip tinsel]

oh

[lean latch]

They share the same name anyway

[tulip tinsel]

anyway yea it ain't worth crafting

[weary edge]

which, i couldnt imagine why you'd ever need agir gun that badly to the point where you'd craft it in gear lab

[grizzled sundial]

Do not waste proto core on those....save them for rainbow weapon bp...

[weary edge]

yeah, like i said, very low on the protocore spending prio list

ill just post it for the hell of it

[grizzled sundial]

Being ssr gear , a few month grinding out Pr4 to grind Agir bp will net you multiple agir gun :/

[weary edge]

but then again, idk why you'd focus pr4 reseach lol, unless you're done with all the noncoinable pr ships

but then again you'd probably still want to focus pr7-8 for la9s and meck gun prints

i just said "but then again" twice, but then again, im stupid

[weary edge]

what are you planning on doing with that gun anyways

[sinful relic]

noted, i was planning to use it for gotz

[grizzled sundial]

Because she still cheaper to start working on than the like of Meck , and someone have to start somewhere

[weary edge]

oh sorry i misread, i thought you meant focuisng pr4 research for the sole purpose of grinding agir gun bps

but pr4 is coinable so still wouldnt be much point in focusing pr4, you're better off focusing pr8 to build up your bps for meck and gl if you're at an earlier stage of the game

and then using the catchup system once ur finished coining pr4 to convert the bps into protocores

[flint arrow]

any farmable source of purple aux plates

[tulip tinsel]

medal shop / event shop / 12-4= event rn

[atomic abyss]

any map above w5 drops purple plates
there's no way to farm aux plates specifically

[weary edge]

that's so real tho, i have thousands of other upgrade mats but i have like 200 aux mats lol

[flint arrow]

ive done tons of 12-4 this shit barely drops

ehhh timegating

[weary edge]

not every ship uses a BB gun, or torpedos, etc, but every ship uses 2 (more or less) auxes, so you always end up using more aux mats than any other, which i wish they'd give us more of 😢

[tulip tinsel]

6k+ on other plates and 3k on aux

damn

[flint arrow]

i have like 10k torpedo and aircraft, 0 aux, 0 main gun

oh well

i will just have to keep swapping gear between ships it is what it is

[weary edge]

that would be the solution if i wasnt so lazy

[tulip tinsel]

yeah 144 purple aux plates to +10 gold

[alpine condor]

fleet building guide?

[lean latch]

For what purpose ?

[paper stratus]

I lost the link to the beginner guide I was linked 😭

I don't know what stage to push to before grinding

It's like 9-1 right?

[paper stratus]

11-1

[tulip tinsel]

12-4

[paper stratus]

I'm just dumping all of my EXP books into a ship I max LBed

But comparing the jump from 10 to 11 to the jump from 11 to 12, 12 doesn't seem like it's as worth the push?

[tulip tinsel]

it is

[rain vine]

world 12 is easier due to less backline pressure

[paper stratus]

ahhh

[tulip tinsel]

no bomb enemy

[paper stratus]

At least the table and i came to the some conclusion about 11-1 being highest value

[lean latch]

W12 safe you more time to grind than W11, but also not too hard for weaker fleet to grind like w13

[paper stratus]

But yeah if there's bomb ships then it would suck for grinding

[tulip tinsel]

newbie guide

[paper stratus]

Tyyyyyy

[rain vine]

also doesnt exactly help that world 11 doesnt give cog chips

[paper stratus]

Yeah that's valid though I'm still working through world 6 atm

I've got one level 96 ship LOL

I feel that Yukino's been kinda good

[tulip tinsel]

decent

[paper stratus]

all i want is that leopard skin 😭

[somber bronze]

How do I switch languages in the game?

[fossil seal]

bro bullins are taking up 70% of my dock space the fuck am i supposed to do

[north gorge]

use them or scrap them

[tulip tinsel]

use to limit break ships

[north gorge]

purple bulins you get plenty of so don'ft feel bad scrapping some for space

[lean latch]

I don't think we can change language ?

[somber bronze]

I don't know why my game isn't in English

[lean latch]

Are you using emulator?

[somber bronze]

No

[lean latch]

What language is it ? Can you screenshot it? I can not help tho

[paper stratus]

I wish there was a faster way to get dorm tokens ;3; I just want to get the second floor as I've already purchased the third 1st floor slot

[somber bronze]

Cantonese

Which is the language that we speak from where Im from

[north gorge]

Sounds like your phone is setup to use a regional app store that has the version of the game that uses that language

[tulip tinsel]

maybe try #tech-support idk

[lean latch]

I think you are playing on CN server tbh

[somber bronze]

Alr

[alpine condor]

AH sorry i got distracted opsi ya

[lean latch]

Can I see your dock

[somber bronze]

How Do I switch regions

[harsh mason]

you should ask that in #tech-support instead i think

[lean latch]

I dont think you can change but better ask the staffs in #tech-support

[alpine condor]

probably campaign 13 too ya

i slapped on some urs in opsi for their support thingies

[paper stratus]

smh no normal or rare shipgirls. They deserve love too 😮‍💨

[lean latch]

For mobfleet GvB/Uni/Musashi • Unzen/Anshan/Z52

[cerulean relic]

Is z15 any good? Just pulled her

[harsh mason]

why tho she would probably be out of ammo on mobbing, i think raffaello would be abit better off in her place nvm 0lb

[tulip tinsel]

bad

[lean latch]

He ask for OpSi tho?

And for other fleets you can put any ship with crossfleet barrage on,

[harsh mason]

owh i saw the campaign 13 part first LOL

[alpine condor]

i do tho ya they’re @ the very bottom but i hit attachment limit

[paper stratus]

Good commander

[vagrant gale]

are the magnetic rainbow torps better than the 95 kai?

[lean latch]

For Musashi's maingun should I give her Mikasa gun , 410 Kai or Daisen gun?

[tulip tinsel]

i use daisen everywhere cuz lazy

[forest palm]

Musashi is exclusively an AP BB till they make a IJN HE gun worth a shit

[paper stratus]

As someone who plays casually, I only care about if I think the shipgirl looks cute or not :3

[opaque monolith]

what should my mob fleet and boss fleet be? for campaign

[haughty skiff]

for what chapter specifically ?

[opaque monolith]

11

[haughty skiff]

nelson (flagship + with pendant aux from mementos) / unicorn / indep
glowworm (front) / laffey (middle) / sandy (back)

musashi (flagship) / warspite (w/ unique augment) / long island (replace with saratoga when retrofitted)
portland / helena / chien wu

[fickle iris]

Why is 81 better than 37? I was sure 37 is the best from classic Wolfpack

[haughty skiff]

get to 12-4 and then start working on raising other ships / PR grind, and dont forget about the event

[opaque monolith]

ty

[ancient ridge]

Would Roon work better as a tanker than chikuma on boss fleet?

[lean latch]

Chikuma would be better if you have IJN CV for her

[ancient ridge]

Well i dont know what ijn cv is so im assuming i dont have it... 🤣

[lean latch]

Japanese aircraft carriers

[sweet merlin]

any QOL/content updates for this update?

[trim tapir]

What are the facilities and scanning towers? Anyone got a picture of both ? And is it random if I Encounter them?

[ancient ridge]

Oh well i got amagi cv on the boss fleet

[signal path]

Wishing well what do I pair with Aurora?

[lean latch]

It a red-looking building with crane you can find them randomly

[lean latch]

Only selectable load screen for this update

[fickle surge]

so I’m reading the newbie guide for this game, are URs just straight up not worth it when you start?

[onyx flame]

Yuh cause limit breaks are a major part of ship strength and wehn your new you don have a lot of ur bulins to mlb them

But this mainly refers to using them you should still strive to try get the new urs obv, can always mlb them later

[dim tundra]

so, the game's stuck on this for 10 mins now
I'm using mumu player
do I close and reopen the game or do smth else?

[hoary relic]

technically is since u dont have enough bulins to max limit break them

[hoary relic]

restart mumu or check your internet

[dim tundra]

oh ok

[wet ocean]

im trying to decide which of these accounts are better any suggests

[undone plover]

which one has more cubes left?

first one looks like it has more progress so u should be more comfortable farming event and getting u2501
and overall more tokens

[wet ocean]

the one with shinano

[undone plover]

then stay with that one

[prime river]

uhh guys am i missing something here? why cant i read the travelogs?

[undone plover]

unless u misused gems or scrapped hedgehog

[undone plover]

i think this just means what u have unlocked so far
just play the management game and u unlock more
if u want to replay scenes i think they go into memories

[prime river]

im trying to complete the mission of reading all the travelogs, but i can only read until number 2 for some reason

also the special stories says this even though my mall is already max level?

[undone plover]

this is what i have
I think u unlock them by doing the management mini game

click mall here and keep doing it

[prime river]

it says right there on the right im already max level 😭

is my game bugged or something

[undone plover]

click the map
there is a notification
maybe u need to click those in the map

[rustic cobalt]

So anything below ultra rare is recommended not to invest much?

[undone plover]

see on the map there should be stuff u can click

[prime river]

clicking on the map just gets me back here

[onyx flame]

you can drag the map around btw

[prime river]

oh shit 😭

okay maybe thats why

[undone plover]

must be that

[gray yarrow]

I'm using suchiguma, anyone know what these numbers mean?

How is she 1st place in self survival but with 155 over there, while other slots have like 2/3/2/(...)?

[prime river]

sorry i didnt know, thanks for the help

[undone plover]

early game most ships u use will be purple as a new player
mid game most of them will be gold/SR
later on UR spam

but good ship is good regardless of rarity

155 is her ehp% of portland iirc

other slots on the left are her dmg
ship can be tanky but bad dmg

[gray yarrow]

oh, do higher numbers mean better in general if it's from a baseline?

Lion has these stats, top 2% but only a 6, I'm not sure what's being referenced here

[undone plover]

in this tierlist i believe so yeah
i am sure there is an explanation on the actual tierlist as well

like a "read me"
see if that has the details u want

[undone plover]

6 is her "tier" essentially
and so far 6 is the highest damage tier in that category

[gray yarrow]

hmm thank you, I've clicked and read on everything here but only this explanation really comes close, I can't say I really get it haha

[undone plover]

for the numbers think of it like this
imagine we have worst dps ship is 1k dmg
and best is 4k dmg
u can divide that into 4 tiers

1k = 1
2k= 2
3k= 3
4k = 4

[gray yarrow]

ohh alright, it confused me bc previously Agir had 155 on eHP granting her first place, Guam with 148 gets top 17-50% somehow, but Plymouth with 114 is rated higher at 14-21% for some reason?

then when it comes to BBs they just have 1, I'm not really sure what they're referencing here

[undone plover]

i think the reason is the compare

make sure u are comparing all consistently against the same thing

[gray yarrow]

ahhhhhh there's also that huh

[undone plover]

guam is top 17-50% compared to other CB cuz CB are all tanky
but compare her vs all vanguard and u see she is top 1-2%

yeah i think it defaults to the same class comparison
but if u want to know tankiness just compare to all SR/UR vanguards

[gray yarrow]

wow you're right, Plymouth got adjusted lower when compared to ALL ships

[undone plover]

for ehp this might be the most relevant and consistent comparison

[gray yarrow]

if the eHP for vanguards is based off of a % from Portland, any idea what the main fleet ships might be referencing?

[undone plover]

and there is a cutoff for certain things btw
2 BB might have the same 5 in anti-med
but one of them is a high 5 and the other one low 5 if that makes sense

[onyx flame]

[undone plover]

but both are close enough to warrant a 5

[undone plover]

for main i have no idea tbh
afaik we have never bothered with main fleet ehp

[gray yarrow]

oh there it is, I'm blind thank you both

[low bough]

Who should I max LB next? (After laffey)

[undone plover]

Götz probably
Why laffey first?

Make sure u get enough bulins then commit invest
Dont partially LB anyone

[timid beacon]

Probably because laffey is one more bullin left to finish idk

[low bough]

That and also she's currently in my main mob fleet

[harsh mason]

what kind of content do u want to do/what are u lacking?

[timid beacon]

Wait do you have Plymouth just curious

[harsh mason]

plymouth enjoyer

[timid beacon]

[low bough]

Nay...

[turbid marsh]

has it been 2 years since last dr fate V?

[timid beacon]

[low bough]

I can NOT beat hard arbiters and similar level bosses

[timid beacon]

Yeah no fate sim for Plymouth for en idk about JP

[harsh mason]

harbiter get 3 fleets of lv125 ships easy kill

[hard dock]

is there a guide for wishing well

[low bough]

I only have 3 ships lvl125 let alone 3 fleets 😢

[harsh mason]

might not be ideal but this worked for me to clear harbiter

strong ships in 1 fleet and yolo the rest

[hard dock]

why U-101 and not U-81 for wish

[undone plover]

I would still prefer götz over laffey unless u are attempting ch15/16
but it is fine if u want to

[low bough]

🫠

[low bough]

She's that good? :0

[harsh mason]

your first fleet has enough AA with guam and laff2, you can put sandy in a fleet that lacks AA instead

[timid beacon]

But not finishing the mlb when it’s so close is like teasing it and not putting it in

[undone plover]

She could be top 2 BB once tested
For now theoretical calcs put her rly good for bossing

[low bough]

Lion level? Damn...

[turbid marsh]

on paper, best raw dps in all three armour. second rdps on paper. if i remember correctly.

[undone plover]

More or less
Bit more gimmicky than lion but numbers good

[low bough]

Siiick
Aighty imma prioritise her and replace ulrich in my boss fleet

Hmm... but wouldn't musashi maybe synergise better since I have Hakohou and Shinano in my boss fleet too? Or is götz just that good?

[undone plover]

Musashi would be better for endgame campaign

Also in general for bossing u dont mix BB with CV (until u do later but keep it simple for now)

If using carriers u almost always want a stopper
So musashi hakuhou shinano would not work

[onyx flame]

it could work if you dont mind coping with a slow

[low bough]

Awh... :( and I don't have amagi cv or hakuryuu for the triple japanese carrier force...

I have Ägir for the slow :D

And I don't have strasser or implacable or parseval or nakhimov or any other stoppers...

[undone plover]

Implacable is in perma
Maybe u can grab her after sushi is MLB
Tho atp zwei could also become perma

[slim condor]

So i can’t get the recommended gear to work on my iPad for the site that is pinned. Are golden lewd’s gold 283 better than the purple scharnhorst guns for the IB p-class like fried rich carl and prinz hienrich?

[low bough]

I'm really hoping for zwei to come in, her along with the japanes tp bombers would be a dream...
(Also bismarck is my fav ship so :D)

[ivory pawn]

Partly depends on the content you're fighting, but as long as you're not fighting a Med armor boss Gouden's 283 matches or surpasses all purple guns on Friedrich.

[slim condor]

Mostly I use Hienrich when I’m PR grinding in like World 12 and events nothing serious like World 14+

Haven’t quite gotten Friedrecht leveled up yet

Like I’m PR grinding right now for Agir (I know I know I’m late to the party)

I know rainbow gear lab gear is the best in slot I’m just working with limited resources so I’ll take ‘it works ok and I have access to it’ at the moment even as long as I have played the game

[trim tapir]

They are the same?

[ivory pawn]

They're similar.

[lean latch]

Gonna save this picture for future

[ivory pawn]

Have the sauce: https://azurlaneecgc.com/farming/#opsi_image_guides

[fierce lantern]

Is Yorktown II good?

[ivory pawn]

Note it's just information, not a what to do.

Still one of the BiS vs Light bosses.

[slim condor]

I’m extremely biased because Yorktown is one of my waifus so I can’t answer that question

[sweet delta]

There are 4 gold wolves who are better than 37 through pure damage (or damage+buff by 96). What made you sure 37 was best? She doesn't do anything special besides have slightly higher oxygen

[low bough]

Yes

[fickle iris]

IDK, I was always thinking Wolfpack is 96+37+Every other german submarine except 47

[slim condor]

I’ll be honest I probably don’t use an optimal setup but my two sub fleets are Flasher, Archerfish, Albacore and Leonardo, Maggarori (spl) and I-404 with a UR IB sub I probably should build a Wolfpack

[hollow void]

Was, augs + new ships

[fickle iris]

I use 96, 37, 110 since 3 years, because every content in the game can be done without subs

[slim condor]

But they probably help when you can use them

[hollow void]

Opsi free call = free cmdr xp

[fickle iris]

I'm to lazy to play OS like that

[hard mesa]

For U-2501 with G7e torp, which aux is preferred, hull-trp-trp or hull-snorkle-trp?

[tulip tinsel]

https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/736

[jagged bear]

is there a resource with a list of blue and purple gear to keep?

[slim condor]

I need to just grind out OpSci for Metas and rainbow gear because EVERY sub I have uses the gold G7e since they are so easy to get these days…. :D:D:D:D

[hollow gust]

the cool part is being able to add comics as loading screen

[short swift]

i just start the game, whats the strat here?

[maiden matrix]

get ships get gear

[short swift]

any guide in here?

[maiden matrix]

also dont get too used to having a ship in the fleet permanently

sadly no guides

[viscid swift]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTRJeUvu195lF7nGi0tqn39NdvCDq7TFac83vepK9s29OXA_8pWq6z5SH8lHoOmYIC0lQxRoJ1j2HBe/pub

Most important sections imo are Gacha Advice, Spending Guide, and The Starter Fleet. Rest just read through at your own pace or whenever you want to learn more.

[short swift]

oh huge thanks

[slim condor]

Please don’t take this as snarky news but best strat is find waifu and oath her

[maiden matrix]

while its a good meme

[maiden matrix]

dont have him oath a low tier ship

[slim condor]

Ok point I’m biased because mine are Helena, Yorktowns and Lexi’s..

[onyx flame]

oath who ever you want, unless your whaling there no point oathing for stats

[limpid meadow]

Guys there are any codes to redeem?

i never redeemed codes

i treid those but nothing worked lmfao

[ivory pawn]

The only codes I've seen in the last year and a half or so were during EN anni last August ish. Other vets have said codes are very rare.

[hushed sorrel]

you get them if you buy goodies

[atomic abyss]

No

[limpid meadow]

ty guys for the info

[sweet delta]

what is special challenge ticket

[limpid meadow]

idk i found it on net ahah

[sweet delta]

you've been baited

[limpid meadow]

yeah ahahah

[boreal wagon]

-# im sure whoever made that worked as hard on it to get google to serve it as some other people do to not get served at all

[somber bronze]

How do I play this game 😭

I'm keep losing on the 2-1 stage

[native folio]

what are the most worth small-spend purchases?

[sweet delta]

@somber bronze

[somber bronze]

Ty

[sweet delta]

@native folio

[still forge]

So I’ve got a question, should I keep wasting cubes as they come in for the current event ships or should I save all I can for Mogador and Alsace next month?

I’m not a new player but I don’t have ethier of them yet

[boreal wagon]

to be clear, while i cant exactly answer your question (im sure someone else will), mogador is as free as u2501 currently is

[sweet delta]

the meta advice is to always pull on NEW UR banners until you get the UR

[ivory pawn]

Worth noting we get like 40+ free pulls on Alsace as well.

[still forge]

So mogador will be a currency exchange ship?

[boreal wagon]

unless they do something stupid with the rerun yes

[fossil lark]

is the elbing worth upgrading?

[ivory pawn]

I just hope the dupe will be easier to get than Laffii's was.

[atomic abyss]

No
Maybe you can consider upgrading her years down the line for CL FP tech if you're aiming to min max
But otherwise no

[atomic abyss]

It'll be as easy/difficult

[tulip tinsel]

only hard for newbies

[hoary relic]

i think i need some help with this

[hollow void]

~~one easy solution ~~

[tulip tinsel]

dip into mail oil

[rustic cobalt]

Does the pity get carried forward if the banner change?

[hollow void]

Perma pity always stays, event pity resets

[atomic abyss]

The permanent pity yes
Since the banner doesn't change
The event UR pity no

[rustic cobalt]

Ok thanks

[forest palm]

and UR events don't count toward Perm Pity

[hollow void]

Don't build perma during events, just do 1 light

[sinful wind]

What do you do with SR dupes? Is it better to LB or use them as enhancement fodder?

[atomic abyss]

use them to LB

otherwise retire them for medals

they are not worth the use as enhancement fodder

[fiery swan]

Will sanrui l2d be rentable

[rustic cobalt]

How do I know which ships R from which faction?

[fiery swan]

Sort function, also should be obvious by name due to being actual warships

[sweet delta]

tell me what faction "Enterprise" is from

[atomic abyss]

one way, as mentioned, is with the filter in the dock
alternatively, you can look at the small text below ship names/nickname, and their abbrevations will tell you which faction they are from

for example, IJN is for sakura empire

Example

[fiery swan]

There's also their faction in their profile, accessible next to the skins button

[fiery swan]

Presumably one of the two factions that primarily speak English

[atomic abyss]

okay that one can be

very misleading

[viscid swift]

Wait until we get the Birmingham issue.

[fiery swan]

The what now

[atomic abyss]

also there are literally 2 ships named enterprise in this game

they are not from the same faction

[viscid swift]

During WW2, we had USS Birmingham and HMS Birmingham, 2 roughly 10000 ton light cruisers armed with 12 6-inch guns in 4 triple turrets.

[fiery swan]

Yeah but it's not like there's a German ship named Suzutsuki

[atomic abyss]

exactly, there's 2 enterprises

[fiery swan]

The worst we get with name confusion is Shangri-la and it's not like she's not literally wearing an American flag

[atomic abyss]

montpelier is another example

montpelier is a city in vermont, in the US

but montpellier is a french city

[viscid swift]

Not to mention St. Louis and Saint Louis.

[atomic abyss]

hence the solution to check below the ship name

names are not inherently obvious

otherwise, stuff like perseus and hermes would be greek

[viscid swift]

or HMS Temeraire.

[fiery swan]

Even then, we still have stuff like Iron Blood ships with varying tags

[atomic abyss]

wait, there's a HMS Temeraire?
dont we have a Le Temeraire too?

[fiery swan]

And I think NP and Dragon Empery also have variant ship tags

[viscid swift]

Aye, the original HMS Temeraire was captured from the French, hence the name.

[weary edge]

what about deutschland

[fiery swan]

The best bet is the profile tag next to the voice actress, it spells the full faction out

[viscid swift]

We also have a Guerriere in the French, British, and US Navies. The list goes on and on.

[atomic abyss]

?
so what if they do, they're stil the same faction tho

multiple tags can be for the same faction

like PRAN and ROC for dragon empery

[forest palm]

SMS and KMS are a more recent example...

[viscid swift]

I'm pretty sure we don't have any ROC ships in game.

[atomic abyss]

the best solution is the one you mentioned earlier anyways

using the dock filter

[vale spindle]

We do

[forest palm]

I thought we had ROC, I remember seeing it, unless they actively changed it (which wouldn't be surprising))

[atomic abyss]

because let's be honest
no one is opening the ship profile just to check what faction they are from

[vale spindle]

hai chi and hai tien are roc pretty sure

[viscid swift]

Well, not from that ROC then.

[forest palm]

sounds like hair splitting

[fiery swan]

That's that then, it's 3am for me and I'm struggling with the idea that someone wouldn't know a shipgirl's nationality with the language of their name and their general design

[sweet delta]

none of the dragon empery ships have prefixes

[vale spindle]

Thats why dock filters exist if you are unsure :)

[atomic abyss]

Because not all names are obvious?

Dude St Louis and Saint Louis literally exist 😭

and HMS Enterprise and USS Enterprise

[forest palm]

Chinese Ships certainly did have a tag at one point or another

[fiery swan]

May have been the censorship

[vale spindle]

[forest palm]

I alluded to that

[fiery swan]

One of them looks like a maid and the other one looks like she had hamburgers for breakfast, and I don't think anyone gets through this game without enjoying the art

[atomic abyss]

again, louis?

[forest palm]

Saint vs St.

[vale spindle]

both are tig biddies so they are the same obviously /s

[fiery swan]

A flight attendant/secretary vs a literal holy knight

And yes, we're expected to stare at their tiddies

[viscid swift]

Some people aren't even aware that the characters in this game are based on warships, let alone such details.

[atomic abyss]

you grossly overestimate a casual's ability to perceive that much details

the point is

no, it is not as obvious as you think

[fiery swan]

That's plausible, especially with a lot of the collabs being potentially mistakable as Sakuran

Or in the case of Akane Shinjo, a Sakuran with Iron Blood rigging

[forest palm]

ya they've removed any mention of PRAN or ROC (just looked)

[fiery swan]

In the case of Saint Louis, will her new L2D be one of the rentable ones

[vale spindle]

Check #cn-9th-anniversary-livestream-chat

[grizzled creek]

Who do I wanna MLB first? Or does it depend on my 2 fleets

[harsh mason]

musashi or gotz

[ivory pawn]

Gotz.

[grizzled creek]

Ok thanks, I guess gotz does save a bulin too

Does that mean I move Alsace to the mob/aoe fleet ? Idk if that would mean my comps might fully change

That’s what I have em as rn

[ivory pawn]

Yep.

[grizzled creek]

Thx u

[magic atlas]

was there an update so we only have to fight opsi boss once a month instead of once on normal once on hard?

[ivory pawn]

Nope.

[soft raft]

No
OpSi hasnt gotten QOL for quite a long time ever since the shop revamp

[magic atlas]

alr thx lmao ig i j ran normal once and forgot abt it

[eternal basalt]

What's the TB rework last patch then?

[forest palm]

she nags more, except it doesn't interfere with gameplay

[errant egret]

Hey guys, does ship EXP gain decrease after lvl 80?

[sweet delta]

ship exp gain is either full value or zero

[forest palm]

depending on the ship's morale, that can affect gains

[eternal basalt]

(It can go down with 0 morale)

[forest palm]

well if you drop out of the 120+ zone it also drops

[eternal basalt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Experience#Ship_XP

[errant egret]

What does it mean if they don’t have a smiley face? 0 morale?

[sweet delta]

/wiki morale

[odd root]

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

[timid beacon]

Are bad gold vanguard ships still useable in 12-4 with the max safety on it like damage decrease

[forest palm]

most any ship'll work up to world 13

[eternal basalt]

(though not at lvl 1)

[timid beacon]

Oo nice shimanto should be easy then with the xp requirement

[forest palm]

eh corpse dragging is fun

[timid beacon]

Of course yeah not lvl 1 😭

Was gonna ask if I should mlb but I do since I need the tech points..

[eternal basalt]

Would need 2 carries if you bring lb0 along

[viscid swift]

Meh, this gets through W12 just fine.

[forest palm]

least threatening world in the game

[chilly crow]

How do you do the special interaction for Amagi's l2d skin?

[violet reef]

Is she good or not

[tulip tinsel]

yes

mlbing her is debatable tho

[still forge]

Any way to predict the merit shop inventory for tomorrow?

[tulip tinsel]

no

[violet reef]

Tbh i just want her cuz looks good

[tulip tinsel]

same

[sweet delta]

that makes 3 of us

[neon condor]

I'm having trouble with the phase 8 handbook mission to have 3 shipgirls with all their stats enhanced to the max. I have four with their stats enhanced as much as it'll let me, but it still wont consider the mission cleared. I even did three of them after unlocking the mission. Any way to fix it?

[tulip tinsel]

lvl 100 is max enchance

[atomic abyss]

get them to level 100, then max enhance them

[neon condor]

So its just slightly misleading? Okie, thanks

[copper garden]

should i be conservative with awakening characters past 100 or should i do it if i use it? should i stop at a certain level if so or no

[onyx flame]

Well if your using the ubits you should awaken em. Whether to go to 125 will depend a bit more if your twckling hard content with said units.
Thou for 120 i would prio those that being used > good tech

[copper garden]

gotcha, for example my kazan is at 115 but im hoping to roll and replace her with alsace when she reruns, so should i awaken her to 120 or do you think its better to leave her as is?

[violet reef]

Hmm

[rapid shard]

if shes already 115 go ahead and 120 her for the tech bonus. no point stopping at this point

[onyx flame]

Unless your really close to being out on chips

[copper garden]

plenty of chips but low on coins 😭

[violet reef]

Is she good

[rapid shard]

tbh between now and alsace event youll get plenty of chips plus the ones in event rewards

[copper garden]

is there anyone in here that i should really start leveling up more or does it look mostly fine?

[rapid shard]

anchorage uni helena are standout ones

[violet reef]

How good is she?

[tulip tinsel]

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

[still forge]

Ulrich zwei

[onyx flame]

0lb nj shouldnt be used

[violet reef]

New jersy is good and anchorge

[rapid shard]

not when she has 0 lbs

[violet reef]

But outdated kinda

[still forge]

Outdated as she is, she still packs a punch

[violet reef]

Well i only unlocked her recently so

[rapid shard]

0lb URs are worse than MLB commons

[copper garden]

😭 would leveling up my mushashi and shizuku be a better idea than using her then?

[onyx flame]

Nah nj is super not worth at 0lb and considering rn there is a better ur bb on the banner

[still forge]

Is musashi 0lb too?

[sweet delta]

Götz

[copper garden]

nah its MLB sorry i should've specified its musashi chan and not musashi lol

[violet reef]

I have a lot to mlb

[tulip tinsel]

i'd work on götz

[still forge]

Is Kron even good? I have her but haven’t messed with her much

[tulip tinsel]

no

[copper garden]

gotcha, im at 195/200 so im waiting to get another copy before i start using bulins on gotz

[violet reef]

Who?

[rapid shard]

New UR BB

[copper garden]

so would my MLB shizuku be a better idea to build and use than NJ?

[tulip tinsel]

yes

[sweet delta]

Götz at 1 limit break is better than Musashi-chan and Nelson and probably Kazan

[copper garden]

okay thank you all for the help ts is so confusing 😭

[sweet delta]

For campaign, you can use Shizuku mob and Götz boss

Kazan can fill in for opsi

[rapid shard]

Easy way to look at it is if they are not MLB they are not worth using 99.9% of the time.

[copper garden]

shouldnt i try to run 2bbs 1 cv for backline usually?

[lyric flume]

Is the new ships worth getting or should I just wait for Alsace to come back

[tulip tinsel]

yes

[viscid swift]

Check the 2nd pin.

[tulip tinsel]

all in götz

[rapid shard]

That varies. most the time for campaign you run 1bb2cv but some stages like W13 3cv can be better depending on who your using

[timid beacon]

Gotz possible to mlb for free?

[lyric flume]

I only got like 170 cubes so I gotta choose one or the other

[tulip tinsel]

? no

[timid beacon]

Mb I though you could get 4 copies from event

[onyx flame]

I mean yea with ur bulins if you play the game

[copper garden]

oh wtf i did not know that, errrr who do i REALLY need to build in this then 😭 im stuck at 10-4 if thats any help

[viscid swift]

I dunno anyone who spends vast amounts of money on pulls....

[tulip tinsel]

what do you even mean by free 😭

[timid beacon]

Uhh free by playing the event and getting 4 copies of her

[sweet delta]

I know

[fossil seal]

In pinned comment what does the upper limit of storage was removed mean,does it mean it now stores an infinite amount of mail coins and oil?

[tulip tinsel]

götz is in gacha

[viscid swift]

What upper limit of storage.

[timid beacon]

Ouh sorry I should’ve checked first before asking..

[fossil seal]

The one where your mail stuff go

[rapid shard]

for W10 and 11 2bb 1cv may be easier because of the suicide boat spam

[viscid swift]

Which comment?

[fossil seal]

3. The upper limit of resources stored in the storage room can be expanded(idk if there's plan to add more lvl or this is unupdated gametips. rn there's only 1 level for storage and it's the 600k + 1.8m one)
   Update: no 3 was removed ingame

This

[copper garden]

oh okay sounds good thank you for the help!

oh wait i almost forgot is elbe meta worth putting effort into leveling up or are meta ships mid?

i got two copies of her if that makes a difference

[viscid swift]

It was crossed out so it was removed, as the addendumn clearly states.

[fossil seal]

What was removed,the limit?

[tulip tinsel]

looks bad

[fossil seal]

Sorry am kinda slow,does it mean I can now store infinite amount of oil and coins in the storage room

[copper garden]

good lord 😭

[sweet delta]

The ability to increase the limit is not added in game

[fossil seal]

Oh ok that explains it thanks

[sweet delta]

Everyone's mail has the same limits you can see in your game

[viscid swift]

Yeah, as a heads up that storage is only for coins and oil recieved through the mail.

[fossil seal]

Ok thanks yll

Damn 600k oil,that's plenty of storage wow

[hexed hill]

Hi

[wary vine]

Sorry for the low quality picture but what can I play for the hard mode event stages? I just recovered my old account and forgot how to play this game.

[tired grotto]

Hi I'm starting to unlock Dr and pr but I don't know wich I should unlock

[undone plover]

Tamaki (if u have her augment), enterprise, unicorn san fran helena +1 (maybe noshiro i forgot what hull hard mode needs)

farm for now like this and try and raise fleet 2 when the map is safe

if u cant D3 try D1

[undone plover]

i recommend u read this when u can https://docs.google.com/document/d/194GQ9AJbmXjxUZAbMlnUCUQt6v_Tjnebedpbz7wn78c/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.xfnmpblq2zyc

for now start saint louis/or roon if u are using z23 and can start her
then later on u want to work towards anchorage or agir
and even later plymouth

search tierlist for the ships to see who is worth unlocking
besides the ones i mentioned there are a few good ones like izumo monarch and ibuki but not necessarily high prio
unlock them when u can
but work towards anchorage is the most important thing for now

[umbral marlin]

is wishing well worth at all with these characters

[sweet delta]

you look like a newer player

[plucky tapir]

light for Aurora/Scylla for daily light pull is good, assuming you have event UR already

[undone plover]

should add a line for new players to at least do daily on light WW once they are done w event

[sweet delta]

pull wishing well Aurora if and only if you got 1 Goetz

it appears to be the section directly above

[plucky ridge]

In what ways can i get more oil. I've been farming and from 21k i got to 500 oil

[plucky tapir]

Hunt those comissions that reward oil.

[umbral marlin]

dang supposedly I unlocked aurora but she's not in my dock, light it is

I prob trashed her when I had low dock space

[undone plover]

if u are desparate check also mail and storage
and dont forget free weekly pack, weekly missions and event oil from shop

[plucky tapir]

I always keep one copy of each ship

no matter what they may be. Gotta collect em all.

[plucky ridge]

Took me too long to type, i need any sources EXCEPT all of those you just mentioned. Also whenever i claimed my coins and oil from the maintenance, i didnt get them. Is that supposed to happen?

[plucky tapir]

check the storage.

[undone plover]

it goes in storage tab
in mail menu

[plucky ridge]

Wait, brb

Uhm guys. Its scary how i didnt know that this existed

Now i have plenty of oil. Thanks for the help!

[umbral marlin]

this was real nice when I was impatient for gotz

[plucky ridge]

Yeah but i dont have cubes💀

Im struggling with the 4 daily cubes. I need to clear D3 in event but some of my ships arent lvl 100 yet

Cuz lets just say i wasted one too many exp books early on bad ships

[umbral marlin]

I survive on the resources from like 5 return events

[plucky ridge]

How long do i have to be innactive to trigger a return event

[umbral marlin]

not sure myself

[plucky ridge]

Also my problem with the cubes wont get better with the Alsace rerun

[umbral marlin]

I wish you luck

[undone plover]

there is like 2 weeks left

i hope u get Götz
and alsace will have like 40 tickets
good luck mate

[plucky ridge]

Ok so google says at least 15 days

[plucky ridge]

OH ITS WIRH TICKETS? BEEEET

[undone plover]

i think it is more than that tbf
but i cant be sure i have never triggered it

[umbral marlin]

yay build tickets

[plucky ridge]

Brooo i got Richelieu AND Gotz on my mini, not fair

[jolly coral]

ur reruns get 44 build tickets on en, plus 10 cubes from the map clear rewards

[strong tartan]

I think it's around 44 for ur reruns? I don't know

oh yes 44

[wind island]

i think the returnee event triggers if you don't login for like a month?

it's not worth it since you're essentially missing out on around 150+ cubes

[plucky ridge]

Damn okay

[atomic abyss]

30-40 days
I don't think anyone has confirmed explicitly how long

[primal blade]

Should I dev my USS fleet, or HMS fleet?

NJ, Essex (retro), Cowpens / Guam, Eldridge (retro), Reno

Lion, Vanguard, Implacable / Trafalgar, Plymouth, Jervis Janus

[viscid swift]

What are these fleets for.

[wind island]

faction fleet bad. meta fleet good. smash. next question.

[primal blade]

I'm a LARPer, so faction fleets for me.

[primal blade]

Op Si and late campaign (13-15)

[hollow gust]

Both factions have good ships that can faction fleet to w15 but your comps suck

[primal blade]

What do you recommend? These are just some ships I have

[viscid swift]

Might wanna take a look at what the best ships are for each content, then go from there, though get a grasp on the basics first.

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

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

[primal blade]

I'm clearing chapter 14 pretty easily with my IB fleet, but wanna try something else too

[hollow gust]

[primal blade]

Don't really want to dev Gotz since I have max Hutten

[wind island]

late campaign ch15 with USS could be pretty realistic, but HMS has poor AA options

[viscid swift]

Gotz is much, much better than UvH.

[hollow gust]

14-1/2 is easy as fuck compared to the rest of the chapter

[primal blade]

Can Perseus work instead of Unicorn for heals?

[viscid swift]

Perseus is worse.

[hollow gust]

use both, percy isnt there to heal her own fleet

[soft raft]

Gotz is infinetly better than UvH and it's not even close

[primal blade]

I have a Lexy II sitting around too. Is Esseggs, York II and Lexy II worth using together?

[hollow gust]

they are good yes, with the correct equipment

[primal blade]

I think I have the most trouble getting acquainted with CV gear (planes). Do y'all mostly get them through gearlab?

[hollow gust]

top ones are generally research, you can get comparable in gearlab

[hollow mason]

any good yt guides for beginners?

[knotty jolt]

check suchiguma on youtube https://www.youtube.com/@Suchiguma

[hollow gust]

did u finish her skill too

[rapid shard]

sounds like a bug tbh. have you tried restarting the game?

#bug-reports id put a post here then

[native folio]

who to prioritize in the shipyard? im almost done with saint louis so far

[warm coyote]

You can go for ships you like or use the tier list as a guide. I'm unlocking ships that I can unlock quickly by completing combat data collection missions.

I like Harbin, but I don't have a Vanguard fleet to do the Vanguard XP missions.

So it's best to go for the most affordable boats for each person. imho

[rapid shard]

Early on ships like Anchorage Agir Plymouth FdG and Monarch are all good ones to get

[rotund narwhal]

CAN GOTZ DETHRONE LION?????

[viscid swift]

Check the 2nd pin.

[rotund narwhal]

thank you

[drifting sleet]

Is the present ur in the special banner a great ship to invest or I should wait for the next one?

[wind island]

yes

[hidden bobcat]

What is the best pick for a 3rd sub to pair up with the 2 UR subs?

[sweet delta]

I should update that with 81 > 58,96

Homura, flasher, 81, amity are the top options

[hidden bobcat]

Damn I don't have Flasher raised.

Is U-556 META not good?

[sweet delta]

strictly worse than Homura. Idk how she compares to 58/96 buffing 404/2501

[hidden bobcat]

I have Homura raised. Use her with her augment?

[sweet delta]

For bossing yes, for campaign no

[sweet delta]

<@&472236072743600148>

[golden moth]

Does the new UR sub better than we have?

[weary edge]

what

[sweet delta]

top 2 subs, and you can use 3 in a fleet

[oak walrus]

Its relatively decent from what I've seen

Im also 30 notes from being able to unlock her, then she'll spend a week IRL in the dorm to level to be usable in the few campaign maps thay let subs at map 10 and above

[glass aurora]

when the event says "afloat in your fleet" does that mean in the fleet that defeats the boss or just in the map?

[soft raft]

the one that fights the boss

[glass aurora]

okie dokie, side note. Should I be using every UR I own no matter what or are some fleets unsuitable?

because the amount of URs I own I could get them all into one fleet

[soft raft]

That depends on the content in question

[glass aurora]

Just for clearing highest difficulty in this event rn is what I'm currently thinking about

[soft raft]

Events are pretty easy
Especially with URs

[ivory pawn]

Also depends on the ships in question and how invested they are.

Cause if you have less than six URs, I'm skeptical if you can MLB them all.

But like Blaster says, events aren't particularly difficult.

[glass aurora]

These are the URs I have, Admiral Nakhimov is almost done as well

[harsh mason]

you can throw together a random fleet of lv120 ships and easily beat D3

[glass aurora]

I was asking because I barely did SP and am not sure if it went worse I would have cleared

[wind island]

idk about those levels chief

sovetsky soyuz shooting peas at sin shadow: world tree

[oak walrus]

Lwky the only thing I struggle with on D3 is just how hard the enemy hits and how much they take to beat, aside from that I've got D2 down ez

[wind island]

is that EX or D3? you said you already cleared SP

[oak walrus]

Wanna see my fleet for mob clearing in the event?

[glass aurora]

Does SP never reset then? I have never been able to do SP until this event

[wind island]

wdym? SP allows one clear per day.

[ivory pawn]

You can clear it once a day.
You don't need to only use URs, tbh you probably shouldn't be using Soyuz or Moskva in the fleet to clear SP atm. You should work on leveling Soyuz.
Actual fleet you use should probably be whatever fleet you've been using to push story/event.

[glass aurora]

EX says I don't recieve any rewards, what do you get from doing it?

[oak walrus]

Me over here with this thing just for mob clearing B3 until I run outa oil ever day, because I need to level my vanguard to be tankier and deal more dmg, but also I just wanna farm points fast for the event ships

[wind island]

500 cog chips for first clear. generally low priority unless you're running low.

[wind island]

did you say you can clear D2 or smth? D1-3 all have oil caps and are much better for farming than B3

[glass aurora]

These missions aren’t necessary for getting the UR from shop right?

[sweet delta]

they are not necessary, but why would you not get free stuff

[wind island]

otherwise, people are just going to tell you to LB all your ships and yeah, that's right.

[oak walrus]

I can, but not reliably, I usually lose 2 vanguard maybe a main if I get really unlucky from doing D2 with these ships in this condition, but the main issue is just I cant level fast enough and im trying to also get the 3mil XP for roon

[sweet delta]

B3 is just horrible with a full fleet, you're paying like double oil for half the rewards

[glass aurora]

Is this limited wishes worth doing?

[wind island]

as you clear D2 the threat level will decrease and you'll get a 20% damage reduction and 20% damage boost, which will make clearing it much easier

[sweet delta]

it's not worth doing just for Roon

[oak walrus]

Yes @glass aurora , easily, you can get ships you need or want, rn i've got Zeppelin and I believe U-101 or something like that. As for sushi, I know, its also gonna get me event points while I grind the XP needed, because once I get that done, its just clearing campaign and doing daily and weekly stuff for the remainder of what im missing

[glass aurora]

small issue I have no idea what I would get from that, I only have literally 3 subs total so maybe a good sub?

[rapid shard]

Subs are not needed for 99.9% of the game you can safely just ignore them and focus on normal ships

[wind island]

wishing well? value depends on how many cubes you have rn

check pins

[glass aurora]

just under 400

[wind island]

best advice is prob save for alsace rerun

there's nobody in there that's absolutely necessary.

[oak walrus]

Yea, if you dont see value out of anything, dont bother with it, I only am because I need a good IB carrier for later down in collection terms, so im thinking ahead

But 99.99% of the time, that thinking ahead is useless if you dont know exactly what you want from it

[viscid swift]

What collection.

[wind island]

😔

is this "good IB carrier in permanent construction" in the room with us right now?

[viscid swift]

Also you do realize you could have gotten Graf from the SR Selector they give out during the event right?

[viscid swift]

If you're not in W12 yet then I would put it on the back burner.

Roon is permanent and not going anywhere.

Better to wait until you get it down quickly and efficiently rather than bashing your head against the wall repeatedly in the form of farming B3 with a full fleet.

[oak walrus]

Its also a video game, where optimization comes in the form of personal preference when there isnt a specific time span to compete with, with the exact same settings, rules, and conditions making everything play out the same with various minor shifts here or there

[gleaming storm]

Is there an official tier list? And PR priority?

[oak walrus]

Aint saying it is wrong to do it your way, my way, or the "right" way, its just this game enables you to play any which way you want, and 99% of the time the "right" way doesn't matter until the very end of story progression

[gray yarrow]

Is there any merit to three-starring these? I feel like I got all the rewards anyways

[viscid swift]

If you did them in normal mode no.

[oak walrus]

How do you unlock SP and EX? I cant seem to get SP open

[sweet delta]

cool, this channel is just trying to help you get there in 1 year rather than 4 years

[oak walrus]

4 years is 4 years, just means I have stuff to do between events and collabs

[viscid swift]

You're correct, but what I'm trying to tell you is how to get where you want to be quicker and with a lot less hassle.

[sweet delta]

There is no official tier list (and good thing there isn't, considering the devs' capabilities)
use this tier list https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/
and research https://docs.google.com/document/d/194GQ9AJbmXjxUZAbMlnUCUQt6v_Tjnebedpbz7wn78c/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.xfnmpblq2zyc

[soft raft]

You unlock SP by clearing D3 and you unlock EX by clearing SP

[gray yarrow]

Just do part 2 then clear SP and you'll have EX

I could've sworn that back then 3* was a requirement of sorts so I've been doing it religiously every patch until today, but it doesn't seem like I've missed anything not doing 3 stars

[oak walrus]

Ah, so i just gotta actually clear d3 without losing my fleet to the final boss, maybe using my EU fleet (basically like giving speed to the ships)

[gray yarrow]

Holy crap is that THE suchiguma who made the site? Wow thank you for your service, I use it a lot lot

[oak walrus]

3 star just means you have more event points from the grind, maybe more ships, who knows, all ik is ima eat and go to bed

[viscid swift]

What, 3 staring maps doesn't give you event points.

[oak walrus]

More clears means more points, the logic is sound if you dont 3 star your first try

[viscid swift]

The only additional stuff you get is from the missions from 3 starring, that's it.

[viscid swift]

What.

[rapid shard]

Why waste oil when you can 3 star it in the first run on the normal with a low cost setup

[harsh cargo]

What are the 3 aux for the new UR sub?

[viscid swift]

https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/736

[gray yarrow]

Are there actually any 3* missions? I feel like there used to be but don't see em now

[rapid shard]

There is

[viscid swift]

There are.

[oak walrus]

If, for example you clear the whole event, got everything, atp just playing it for fun, you can 3 star things afterwards, get more points, and more things from the event, logically it makes sense, but realtically the logic only applies to some stages but almost exclusively to the campaign at first

[gray yarrow]

Ahhhhhh

Haha alright, guess I'm not missing much then

Idk why it's been a habit of mine since forever to 3* em, and I've been playing since y1

[viscid swift]

Why would you not just 3 star the stages on your first run especially since they're so easy.

[gray yarrow]

I got lazy xD

[viscid swift]

Modern event maps are designed to be cleared in just one run.

[oak walrus]

Fair, idk why ngl, especially when you already spend half the event idle farming one stage to get whatever event stuff you need from points or luck

Also istg is my xbox doesnt read cp2077's play disc as a real disc i might crash out hard and just bruteforce D3 with my current IB Vanguard fleet

And ima probably need help with equipment bc I do NOT know what im doing when it comes to that stuff, and im lvl59 so opsi is soon

[viscid swift]

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

Just refer to that for gear reccs.

[gray yarrow]

Back then we didn't even have auto runs, and event maps, hell, all maps needed to be cleared by hand
I'm not sure if there were better rewards for 3-starring event maps back then or if I was hallucinating, but I guess these days we could just skip going 3 if we're lazy ig?

[viscid swift]

Might also wanna give this new player guide a read.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTRJeUvu195lF7nGi0tqn39NdvCDq7TFac83vepK9s29OXA_8pWq6z5SH8lHoOmYIC0lQxRoJ1j2HBe/pub

[viscid swift]

3 star never affected drops.

[oak walrus]

I aint even new js the thing, I just never had the idea about how important operation siren takes everything the campaign treats as overkill

[viscid swift]

You're not even commander level 60, that's still new by AL standards regardless of how old the actual account is.

[gray yarrow]

Was it a requirement to proceed or for the safety level to drop then? I don't think so either, I was probably just delusional ig

[errant peak]

what should I do with my medals?

[oak walrus]

True, my first acc was lvl 76 but I just never used it

[viscid swift]

It's a requirement to unlock hard mode for the main campaign stages.

[oak walrus]

Medal shop, save them specifically for that for the majority of it all

[errant peak]

what do i look out for in the shop?

[viscid swift]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vS7zn4MdZchMLgQ2XD7LazlGMBm1YrNWbYNAcvt7g5PYc6tj4AXaJXl7PpAyDQ_IEbdwEH7Rpmy3C50/pub

Give that a read.

[gray yarrow]

I'm level 148 but I feel like I don't even know what the game is about or how to properly play it lmao
These website guides and this channel has been great

[oak walrus]

Whatever you want for the most part, but there are always guides for what is optimal

[viscid swift]

Definitely not whatever you want.

[oak walrus]

Well if you get SR BB, you can grab basically whatever, because most of the time they combine well with some other things, ofc depending on skills

[viscid swift]

Again, what.

And most of the SR BBs are basically tech fodder.

[oak walrus]

Gonna be so fr, DR8 blueprints are useless for half of the game

[viscid swift]

Even, Alabama, the best of the them, is not great in the grand scheme of things.

[rapid shard]

DR8 prints are very uselss. helps you dev30 meck faster one of the best BBs in the game for bossing

[oak walrus]

True, I got her out of random, and I ignored her entirely, because there's no point to using a ship that ks lesser than Massachusetts

[viscid swift]

What.

Alabama is overall better than Massachusetts.

[oak walrus]

Not when Alabama is 80 levels lower than Massachusetts with lvl 0 skills compared yo massa having lvl8 skills

[rapid shard]

Mass is one of my fav ships but bama is just outright better

[oak walrus]

Too expensive to invest in Alabama when im going to probably replace her with r&d ships before bama is comparable to massa

[rapid shard]

You cant compare ships like that.....

[viscid swift]

You'd get both leveled eventually for tech.

[oak walrus]

Thats is objectively how you compared things in the short term

Because by the time I have invested the resources to make Alabama equal, if not superior to Massachusetts in power, including the feeding of Grey's, i will probably have a research ship to replace and synchronize better with whatever I have within the week I have it

[viscid swift]

Well you're not in W12 yet so you don't know how fast you actually level up ships.

[oak walrus]

Def not this week though, no nicotine im not gonna have the energy or will to play AL past doing missions

[viscid swift]

Besides, R&D ships take months to get to usable states.

[rapid shard]

Not to mention shipyard ships take over a month to get dev30 in the first place

[oak walrus]

Im in w9, w12 is just a little grind away when I can single fleet and destroy up there

[viscid swift]

Well you'd want to get there sooner rather than later.

That usually involves 2 fleets.

[viscid swift]

You might also wanna give that a read.

[rain bobcat]

[verbal thistle]

Is it worth pulling for the new ship? She's a sub, right?

[viscid swift]

Check the 2nd pin.

[verbal thistle]

Appreciate it

[weary edge]

gacha is a BB, sub is the free ship

[nocturne glade]

With the release of Gotz, should I be MLBing Gotz and Guam? I have enough Bulins for 2, and Kearsarge is also finishing (I have all her bps) around tmrw.

[verbal thistle]

Oh, thanks.

[viscid swift]

Do you have any aspirations in the near future of clearing W15 and 16?

[sweet delta]

where's william D porter?

[nocturne glade]

Going to try and clear right after this event. Missed wdp because I had some unfortunate circumstances during the event time and just left after pulling ur

[viscid swift]

Guam and Lexington 2 or Gotz then, then probably.

[nocturne glade]

I see, is Lexii's aircraft damage reduction passive reason enough to have her raised for later campaign?

[viscid swift]

She's handy to have but you might not need her.

[nocturne glade]

I see, I guess I'll do Guam for now and see what I need. Tysm!

[gilded shale]

Hi everyone I'm a returning player who skipped 6 months of gameplay. Is there anything new I need to know of and which event stage should I farm?

[viscid swift]

For the second bit check the second pin.

Not much has changed in 6 months other than the release of W16 and the usual new ship releases.

[zenith peak]

Who will rerun after Alsace?

[viscid swift]

Next UR would be Amagi CV.

Next event would be some smaller event.

[rapid shard]

Will BisZwei be added to perm before AmagiCV?

[storm marlin]

Which Manjuus are the best for Amagi CV's custom order in the Mall management thingy?

[soft raft]

Ngl imma be real, I just randomly clicked until i saw all green lol

[plucky tapir]

after completing Unicorn's Retrofit, should I focus on doing Helena, San Diego, or Saratoga retrofit next? which of those three have the higher priority?

[nocturne glade]

Sandy's retro is good but is expensive for a new player, so I'd say probably saratoga, although someone else might have a better answer

[viscid swift]

You can compare how much of a difference the retro makes in regal. https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/

Just bear in mind the SR -> UR retros are very, very expensive.

[plucky tapir]

expensive in terms of coin or materials?

[viscid swift]

Yes.

[south sequoia]

both

[nocturne glade]

Both, but mainly retrofit mats

[soft raft]

You also need to spend 2k Spec core for her retrofit item

and you also need to get her unique aug which is another 20k

[plucky tapir]

I did see that. I do have the cores for the item.

Honestly, leaning toward doing saratoga/helena for the cheaper cost as coins is a real pain point at the moment.

[plucky tapir]

the cost to awaken / push levels up is getting real oof.

saratoga it is then.

[soft raft]

Helena retro only really relevant if you want her to maintain sync with BBs that're using AFCT/HSFCR

[plucky tapir]

Taking a look at wiki to compare how much diff it would cost to retrofit san diego vs saratoga

Huh. Twice as expensive. look at that.

[heavy ember]

Hello returning player. I have been playing for 7 years casually and stopped. I have all the ships from until when PR 6 was the latest. I think want to be a bit more serious on the game rn. Any tips/advice

[plucky tapir]

Anyway... I'm assuming raising level caps is going to be more important than retrofits atm.

[viscid swift]

I'd reccomend giving some of these sections a read for a refresher on the basics.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTRJeUvu195lF7nGi0tqn39NdvCDq7TFac83vepK9s29OXA_8pWq6z5SH8lHoOmYIC0lQxRoJ1j2HBe/pub

[plucky tapir]

tempted to go with sandy since she seems like she will be a longer late game value overall in S- tier vs C tier

[viscid swift]

REGAL for the current tier list and for gear reecs: https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/

And this for later campaign stages.
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief

[heavy ember]

Thanks man, after I read this are there more resources or is this everything?

[viscid swift]

Well the new player guide has links to several other guides in it.

[plucky tapir]

Hrm. Taiho or Tashkent seem to be my picks for the SR ship selector.

according to the summary on the event guide

[vast sparrow]

What are the recently added gears?

[soft raft]

If you mean the gear lab update mentioned on stream, that hasnt happened yet

[viscid swift]

Define recently added.

[heavy ember]

Hmm I think I need guide to catchup my account or end game guides. What gears to farm in opsi? What PR Ships/research to farm. How to clear 13+ and challenge mode.

[vast sparrow]

Before everything that happened on stream

[soft raft]

Imma be real, what is that supposed to mean

[viscid swift]

You will find OpSi and PR Guides linked in the new player guide.

[vast sparrow]

The wiki keeps a list of recently added ships but not gears

[quaint tapir]

most recent was the new UR sub torp + a bunch of irrelevant stuff

[viscid swift]

Late Campaign and CM Guides can be found here.
https://suchiguma.github.io/guides/chapter-14-brief/

[south sequoia]

i think they mean have they added any new gear lab stuff before the stream

[quaint tapir]

before that it was plygun

[viscid swift]

This is a crafting guide for the gear lab.
https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab

[vast sparrow]

Someone is not working on this realistic gears so i might do it for myself

[zenith peak]

Ty

[viscid swift]

And after what?

[plucky tapir]

is Prinz Moritz worth investing into?

[viscid swift]

Solid SR CA.

[plucky tapir]

So that's a yes then. Since I dont have many options.

[vernal hornet]

Did i need full star hard too or just pass hard

[soft raft]

You need to clear D3

/hardmode (And as to how to acess D3)

[lapis gazelle]

how i can burn or reduce the augments in my depot ?

I got too much beyond the limit

[soft raft]

The same way you do with Meowfficers

IE feed them to other augments

[lapis gazelle]

Ty

[native folio]

what does this mean? requirements not met? I don't see any requirements

[onyx flame]

click on it

[native folio]

I'm past chapter 5

[agile pewter]

You need to actually clear the stage

Like run the stage

[onyx flame]

you have to do stages that are chp 5 and above
that research is bad anyway so i wouldnt do it

[native folio]

how many in chapter 5, just one level?

[onyx flame]

it literally says in here (which you cropped out)

[shadow yarrow]

When does the 2mg dds grant them a dps advantage over 1mg in whatever use case is at hand? Such as in this event's sp? I am assuming quirks of level scaling or damage hits is at play

[native folio]

that's the whole thing though

[wind island]

it's cropped out on some devices and screen widths

the number of runs needed to complete the mission is under B-type missions
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Research_Academy

the lower rank missions require quite a few runs. i usually don't accept the mission unless it's gold, and requires clearing chapters 11-13 because otherwise it's too much of a hassle

[onyx flame]

not even worth it regardless unless your like mega new with no coins/plates to your name

[wind island]

ngl i still think this is mostly misinformation except for gear focus, anyone who's spending cubes on UR-D research better be a whale or be swimming in cubes

[lean latch]

It's for people that have like 1k cube saving most people shouldn't do it when they are low on cubes anyway

[wind island]

even then it's probably still better to spend that stuff on gacha and save some rainbow bulins

"what did you spend 10 cubes and 5000 gold for? 1% progress on mecklenburg?"

scam

[lean latch]

I have have like every ships in this game, so I can do it save me a lot of time

[onyx flame]

0.5 D is 5 cubes and if you did get 5 prints out of it that basically a steal too

[wind island]

yeah they're basically stealing your cubes

[onyx flame]

their rare anyway so it not like your dumping your cubes constantly on them

[soft raft]

I just realized, why is this in the event shop lmao

[neat ledge]

[wind island]

the normal one is purple

you get like 7 more torp at +10

[soft raft]

Oh right

[hardy geyser]

Hey guys, could this be used for more than just performing a Limit Break?

[fair walrus]

hey where can i find builds for ships

[raw ravine]

new bb babe any good

[lean latch]

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

[atomic abyss]

Anything useful? No
But if let's say you bought multiple skins for her you can display them

But that's a very whale mentality

Better to save the UR bulins and use the dupes for limit breaking

[atomic abyss]

Very, she is a UR

[granite escarp]

Is Prinz Moritz worth to MLB?

[atomic abyss]

As per the pinned message
Maybe? Depends on what stage of the game you're at

[granite escarp]

Im kinda early in, like Chapter 6

[atomic abyss]

Then yes it is worth assuming you don't have any good gold rarity backliners to limit break first

[granite escarp]

The only gold rare backliner I have is Sovetskaya Rossiya and Enterprise

[atomic abyss]

Enterprise is priority

Unless you mean you have dupes of Moritz

In which use the dupes

If you have just gold bulins, prioritise those on enterprise and raising her instead

Since she's the best gold carrier in the game despite being a ship released 8+ years ago

[granite escarp]

Ok and should I focus any UR Dublins on Gotz Von Berlichingen

[atomic abyss]

Yes

If you can throw in all 4 do it

[granite escarp]

Got it

[hardy geyser]

Alright, ty

[plucky ridge]

Are any of the event ships any good? Except for Gotz of course

[tulip tinsel]

not really

decent for newbie, for vets useless tech fodder

[plucky ridge]

Regarding Gotz, how good is she? I have an up to date tier list, it says SS for boss and B+ for Campaign

[tulip tinsel]

regal is accurate

[ocean pilot]

stupid question, is this d3 hard or d3 norm?

[tulip tinsel]

beeg damage

[lean latch]

D3 is Hard mode

[tulip tinsel]

d3 is the hard mode of b3

[ocean pilot]

[lean latch]

She should be really good but we have to wait for proper testing first

But 95% dmg reduc on higher campaign wouldn't be good still

[sinful wind]

how much should you enhance purple gear?
and which slots to prioritize

[dim tundra]

do I build musashi or gotz?

[rapid grail]

gotz if bossing content
to be real, only edge musashi has over gotz is mobbing content (gotz is really shit at out of ammo fights) and pvp/exercises

[weary timber]

guys, can this used for next Alsace rerun?

[rapid grail]

no
atp just take the spark at 200 pulls and scram

I did 50 rolls on UvH and had to take around 180 pulls for her rerun. These points never bring over to future URs

[atomic abyss]

Depends on which purple gear
If they're transitional, maybe +6
Otherwise push to +10

[atomic abyss]

No
So just slowly build towards that 200 and stop

[sinful wind]

wdym by transitional?

[atomic abyss]

Gear you use in the interim till you get bis ones

Like you're not gonna replace toolboxes

So get them to +10

[stone cradle]

I've been away from AL since probably Hakuhou but has Alsace rerun or will rerun soon?

[harsh mason]

in june

[stone cradle]

ty

[wind island]

you're just in time.

[ancient tulip]

Best way to get Ur puripuri?

If I get it should I use it at gotz Von?

[lean latch]

From proto shop

[ancient tulip]

I see thx

[twilit wigeon]

How do I unlock Travelog 8?

nvm I figured it out right here

[harsh mason]

didnt know meta ships could drop from the map

[atomic abyss]

#trophy-room for such posts please...

[harsh mason]

mb

[atomic abyss]

This is not a channel for blogging

[agile pewter]

If I have 580 cubes now is it likely that I can pull both gots and alsace

[atomic abyss]

Very likely

Especially with rerun tickets

[scarlet cosmos]

Is there a consensus on new UR BB?

[atomic abyss]

Yes, see the pins

[true stump]

is the managment event supposed to be giving huge amounts the sparks of joy thing

[atomic abyss]

I don't know

[frozen shard]

Hello everyone. I'm a new player of this game. How can I boost my shipgirls' level except attack? thank you so much

[true stump]

oh ok, ive been claiming a lot of it idk how

[agile pewter]

Use exp books to bring them to a level that they can survive then attack 12-4 or whatever is your most efficient stage

You can also stick them in first floor dorm/exercises/commissions

[agile temple]

I just got my first copy of Gotz at 190/200 spark, i def just pull for the next copy right to save a bulin? I have 267 cubes for alsace

[atomic abyss]

Yes I would recommend that
Slowly work towards that rather than dump it all in at once ofc

[harsh mason]

yes theres no limit to manage now, i think you can just spam to 80k for all rewards

[true stump]

oh, no wonder i have 2 million. thought there was a limit\

i wont get banned right. im a lil worried about that

[harsh mason]

no i dont think so, seems to be intentional

[true stump]

oh ok

then im gonna do that leaderboard thing

[ripe bluff]

Does anyone know what happens if you send multiple applications to one guild

[ebon verge]

how do you unlock the last travelog

[ripe bluff]

Does it use the latest one or do multiple applications show up

[signal path]

😩

[true stump]

whatts that sorting bro

[limpid meadow]

what ship?

[signal path]

Nah I just got a dupe of mlb VGB

shinano go for it

[true stump]

LMAOOOO

[north gorge]

unless you can MLB Shinano right now you can save a dock slot by not redeeming until later

[limpid meadow]

i have some bulins but idk if i find the event ship

[north gorge]

not worth using bulins on Shinano, save for event ship or higher priority URs

[signal path]

Which ship can we get in d3 event map?

[limpid meadow]

oh okok then i cant MLB right now her, will be 1st copy

[north gorge]

Elbe meta, the non-rateup in the event banner like normal

[signal path]

wait retiring a UR can get us a specialize core?

[north gorge]

yeah, it counts towards the monthly cap though so it's a pretty big waste

[true stump]

why would someone do that tho

[signal path]

Its already MLB its just a waste of dockspace

[true stump]

im gonna be honest, i have no clue what mlb is

[ebon verge]

oh lmao that is a clickable button

[thick crystal]

500 per UR, counting towards your standard 5k cap as Ragnarok said. I would keep the copy as a trophy, dock space shouldn't be dictated by one UR copy

[signal path]

max limit break meaning you dont any of theat same ship theres no more usage fore any dupe

[lean latch]

Max limits break aka. Full stars

[true stump]

oh, the abbreviation flew over my head lma

[signal path]

it does because after 1 fight Im out of space I cant even auto 3 battle

[true stump]

expand storage?

[signal path]

damn it shpuldnt be at least included in the 5k😭

[signal path]

Lol I already used all my gems only for expanding dock space

[thick crystal]

3 full clears of auto battle gets you between 15 to 20 drops. I appreciate that you might not be in a position to buy extra slots, but while there is no reason to keep extra copies of most UR's barring bragging rights, I'd start retiring other characters first

[true stump]

fah, what about like the guild expansion? theres like an extra upgrade but i cant seem to get it

[signal path]

already maxed too

[true stump]

uh, buy gems

[signal path]

Im F2P, but you can send me so that Im not short on dockspace Lol

[true stump]

uh, use that method they were using in general for that

[hollow void]

Still got campaign to 3 star?

If so it is a bit more dockspace

[signal path]

wahts that?

[true stump]

you get more dockspace for 3 star campaign?

[true stump]

a fake scamming thin

[thick crystal]

3 starring campaign stages gives 50 gems per stage one time each, or 10 dock spaces per 4 stages

[signal path]

Lol Its a sarcasm not a scam

[tulip tinsel]

100 on x-4

[thick crystal]

Oh yeah true

[signal path]

Isnt on W13 above only chips?

[true stump]

holy, i completely forgot about that, been ages since i did campaign

how long does it even last anw

[signal path]

What kind of environment did you grow to think that my sarcasm is a scam? Poor you

Why keep UR a trophy its more like a regret since why did i even mlb instantly with Bulin when I can wait till event ends😩

[thick crystal]

Yeah Ive been in that position before too hahaha. I mean, ultimately it's entirely your choice. I just think a single extra copy of a UR is unlikely to be the reason you're perma strapped for dock space and unable to do a few auto clears.

There is zero gameplay merit to keeping it, but surely there's some room you can make elsewhere first

Provided I'm biased. I have 10 Shinanos, 3 Musashis, 3 Unzens and 2 Laffey II's

[true stump]

i was recommending to employ that method they were talking about earlier, i didnt think of your sarcasm as a scam lol

[verbal thistle]

I think I might've bugged the Luxury Bay. How do I unlock the 8th travelog? Figured it out, nvm. 7 was not the mall's cap.

[harsh mason]

200 dock space is enough to last me 6 clears on 12-4, not hard to go and bulk retire/enhance before i repeat again (also, 6 clears is enough to drain morale on 2 fleets, theres no chance u go more than that efficiently)

[limpid meadow]

i am extremly unlucky or it is normal to not find any ur after 120 pulls? wtf

[harsh mason]

just bad luck i think

[atomic abyss]

Unlucky
Not extremely unlucky

[harsh mason]

extremely unlucky is 1 copy in 200 pulls (me)

[atomic abyss]

Extremely unlucky is not getting 1 at all till the spark yeah

[limpid meadow]

i think i am going to that direction too ;-;

[limpid meadow]

i hope i ll get it till the end, cos now is this my situation

[thick crystal]

UR's are 1.2% pull chance or 1/83.33.

To not a see a single copy in 120 pulls is about a 23.5% chance. So unlucky, but not egregiously so

Hope you get your Götz soon though. She's cool
