[daring jasper]

It’s the votz de gerlichen one right

[wind hazel]

yes

there's only one event banner you won't miss it. dont pull on any other banner until you get gotz (or you don't)

[daring jasper]

Ok I’m kinda broke

I can only do 4 pulls
Tbf I just started maybe I need to do more progression
How bad are the gacha rates

[prime cave]

bro its one od the f2p frindly ****game

each month you will get 150 pulls easily or more

[junior axle]

Bruh what, since when did this thing exist

[atomic abyss]

Always

Or rather, for at least 5 years

For as long as the revamped guild has been around for

[junior axle]

Sigh this sucks

[mighty tulip]

Almost done with getting combat xp for Agir, and still coining FdG. Should I finish getting fleet tech so I can do Plym right after Agir (i’m like 50ish away)) or just relax doing a PR?

[wind hazel]

get ply asap

also i recommend to just skip fdg, she's kinda outdated by now

[hidden pasture]

should i 3 star every hard stage in event? i 3 star all normal stages ive unlocked

[wind hazel]

normal is sufficient, don't need to 3* hard

[mighty tulip]

Just go straight to coining Agir when done then?

[hidden pasture]

alrighty, how to unlock sp?

should i replace saratoga with enterprise?

[mighty tulip]

Finish D3

[wind hazel]

clear D3. toggle at B3

[hidden pasture]

alrighty

[whole crypt]

nice the new scanning device options can get you so many more nodes

[undone plover]

What is this ?

[wind hazel]

this is patrick

[hidden pasture]

what to buy in the event shop?

[somber bronze]

What does this do

[wind hazel]

currency to buy UR bulin, and some other stuff

[somber bronze]

Bulin has UR?

[wind hazel]

this shop

[hidden pasture]

170k is insane

[wind hazel]

yes the bulin you see on this shop is UR, used to limit break UR ships

[sinful relic]

so i scored scylla... is she better than laffey retrofit or no?

[somber bronze]

Ohhh

[wind hazel]

yes i traded half of them for coin from my friend

[somber bronze]

I need more exp cards

[hidden pasture]

ggs

[wind hazel]

im lying btw

[zenith heron]

She is on paper a better ship than your starter

but for other advices, I will let the experienced here explain their knowledge

[sinful relic]

pretty much how my laffey is going atm

i lied, her other aug is now 10

[wind hazel]

your laffey is stronger by level advantage, that's it

on same mlb and level, scylla trashes laffey out of the water

[sinful relic]

also another question, would nelson be alright in a mob fleet or nah? since im replacing her with gotz soon, i was gonna start putting ships into my 3rd fleet (just another mob fleet for easier time in terms of morale)

[wind hazel]

just keep it to 2 fleets

3rd and 4th fleets are really only ever useful in opsi

for campaign just focus on 2, no more no less

[sinful relic]

should be fine to start leveling her after i throw some gear on her ye?

[sinful relic]

noted

[woven star]

Just check her gear. She used fast rld guns and torps

[sinful relic]

well two ships to start building now.

[woven star]

I would say something like this

[sinful relic]

can i just slot laffeys stuff on her?

[sinful relic]

actually i have the blue gun

wait would this be better on tohka? shes currently using the purple version

[wind hazel]

dont bother

[sinful relic]

aight!

[short smelt]

building my heavy boss fleet atm. is the 10% additional carrier buff from soyuz to nakhimov worth more than just using my third main fleet slot to put in mecklenburg

[wind hazel]

what do they look like

your current fleet i mean

[rapid tusk]

If I already got Elbe META from a random drop, should I just grab the 4 crystals?

[wind hazel]

not now

[sinful relic]

this so far good?

[wind hazel]

yes, give her gold aa gun at least. eva+toolkit

[short smelt]

current fleet is essex/soyuz/nakhimov moskva/unzen/eldridge

[sinful relic]

would that octuple one be fine?

[wind hazel]

and what other ships do you have? this fleet doesn't sound that good

[short smelt]

just wondering if swapping essex out for mecklenburg is worth more than the 10% carrier buff

[short smelt]

I have everything but the ijn carriers

[sinful relic]

okay, i think everything is good? apart from the AA

[short smelt]

gacha did not want to give me amagi or hakuhou

[wind hazel]

yes. but everyone in that fleet is a mixed bag

why not use lion zwei meck

[hidden pasture]

can sandy replace helena?

[wind hazel]

use better eva gear

[hidden pasture]

my helena is not retrofit yet

[short smelt]

what and then just swap soviets over to medium then

[crystal ore]

So if I want to be effective farming the event. I go in, clear 1 time in normal and then either farm in D1 or D3

[somber bronze]

Can I buy exp cards

[hidden pasture]

btw if anyone have time, pls vist #1481279947820634233 and give me some advice on fleet building or what to aim for itf pls, tks alot

[tulip tinsel]

different purpose

[wind hazel]

something like this. but tbh the BB fleet is more than enough, you wont even use other fleet

everything just... die

[hidden pasture]

i see, i thought they do the same thing bcuz they're both CLs

[tulip tinsel]

hull type =/ role

[sinful relic]

best one i have currently, the other one being hydraulic steering gear, but i just thought the key is good since decent buff

[tulip tinsel]

take key imo

[woven star]

I know how it sounds. But maybe Kear over Soyuz?

[wind hazel]

yea seems like that's your best eva gear lol

[wind hazel]

lol what's the point putting kearsarge there

[short smelt]

my vanguards look different but the damage disparity between vanguard to main is so big that as long as I can find similar buffs I'll figure it out

[whole crypt]

these

[sinful relic]

been farming quite a bit while slowly progressing on opsi, the tech boxes im getting is absolutely dog water. bweh

[timid beacon]

The black ones or the peach ones

[wind hazel]

those are some of the best buffer in the game currently, except moskva

if you have them, just copy it

[sinful relic]

okay i leveled them as much as i could, ill now level her skills while leveling her, she should be fine bringing to 12-1 yeah? its safe.

[short smelt]

yeah my only thing is z52 is on mob to keep musashi alive and willy is on light bc its all EU so it affects whole main fleet instead of just flag

[wind hazel]

dont waste z52 on mob

if you wanna go eagle, that's fine. they can do light and medium too, just copy current meta fleet

[woven star]

~~CV buff. Double buff from WdP. ~~ nvm i forgot Souyz have CV buff too

[whole crypt]

I don't waste Z52 on mob, I waste her in xf

[short smelt]

just double checking its just kears/lex2/york2 right bc I can always swap kears to essex if I need

[wind hazel]

amagi crossfleet is certainly a choice

[wind hazel]

yes, with wdp. other 2 are flex

[sinful relic]

what would the best amagi fleet be? like what characters would she benefit from having on the team?

[whole crypt]

between Amagi and Shinano it's kind of whatever unless you have a better option

[whole crypt]

highest output if you don't need a stopper would be plainly Shinano/Amagi/Hakuhou

[woven star]

And except Kazagumo there is no IJN CV buffers... so

[sinful relic]

noted, i shall work towards them in the future.

[wind hazel]

ariake is one, but much worse than kaza

[whole crypt]

Chikuma cope

[short smelt]

yeah other two are aegir helena but helena gets swapped out for either aurora or sirius I think. was just uncertain if sirius buffs stack with kears bc ik that air raid assistance doesn't work with kears

[timid beacon]

I mean you get more materials from doing other stuff instead on opsi

[woven star]

I mean this ship should be IJN and have buffs. Ariake isn't IJN?

[short smelt]

not certain if sirius's cv buffs count as air raid assistance or its own thing

[wind hazel]

sirius works, she's not ARA

[timid beacon]

Like the secret loggers that you can get from the opsi shop that uses the opsi credit things have gotten a handful of gold materials from doing those

[wind hazel]

sir...

[short smelt]

I wish I bought moskva skin so bad. she looks so good

[sinful relic]

pretty much my main goal is leveling my ships and getting better gear atm. and swapping out ships for others. especially stronger ships that i can immediately invest into like scylla. gotz i sitll have a hot minute before i can invest in her. her gear is ready ish, i just need to wait to get the final UR BULIN.

[solid rain]

Lol this emails are fake or what xD? How did I receive 9k but sitting at 7k

[whole crypt]

you don't get the special plate needed for +13 outside of OS
you don't get design plans or ordnance reports outside of OS
the only thing that drops lab materials outside of OS is one daily raid and you still get more from regular OS

[wind hazel]

click here

[sinful relic]

storage

[short smelt]

iirc the first time you buy something akashi tries to lovebomb you

[blazing olive]

hello im new, what to use with medals, or what do i buy in the shop

[short smelt]

you will continue getting mails like that

[timid beacon]

Scylla can be geared easily ngl she’s really cheap to equip

[tulip tinsel]

Buy spec core

[sinful relic]

now what? do i just leave her since collection ig? should i collect her other copy

[blazing olive]

what do i use the spec core

[whole crypt]

spec cores are needed to get UR bulins and UR retrofit items

[tulip tinsel]

Save for when you get an gacha UR

[blazing olive]

oki aight bet ty

[wind hazel]

try to

[short smelt]

always get the other copy if you can ur bulins are expensive

[whole crypt]

if you have spare medals consider picking up a useful SR ship if there's on on selection, also consumables like books always useful

[sinful relic]

i wasnt gonna invest in her since i totally forgot submarines exist, apart from the escort i dont need them i dont think

[tulip tinsel]

You don't it's optional

[short smelt]

you don't need to worry about them for a while but they are free damage when you CAN invest in them

[solid rain]

Say what? There is storage?

[sinful relic]

yep theres storage

[short smelt]

still though just bc its a UR picking up the second copy is ideal bc the bulins are giga expensive

[blazing olive]

am i bricked.. so i bought the boost to lvl 70 pack, i spent all of the t2 exp pack, i was able to turn my helena and unicorn to lvl 100, the rest of my fleet is 70, and now i dont have any exp pack.

[whole crypt]

they help when they do, but by and large only relevant later in the game

[sinful relic]

got it, atleast i have her though. appreciate the help.

[whole crypt]

your ships get XP when you send them to battle so you just have to level them normally without packs

[eternal basalt]

Use your lvl 100 ships

[solid rain]

Omg I feel so dumb lol! Ty!

[blazing olive]

aight bet, i thought i was bricked cuz i dont have any exp pack left.. haha.... aight ty imma do campaign now

[thick crystal]

You're not. The game is convoluted as fuck and a bunch of systems are holding the shoddy framework together with duct tape

[blazing olive]

btw what do i do with my 17k oil...

[onyx flame]

grind

[north hamlet]

Help why did this pop up after I opened my 2x boxes?

[wind hazel]

[north hamlet]

I press cancel right?

[wind hazel]

nah just scrap these shit gear

[onyx flame]

its asking if you want to disassemble them
i would just disassemble then ngl their useless

[whole crypt]

no you press confirm because cranes are useless

[muted wind]

it always pops up, but yes, cancel...? well, for other gear lol

[north hamlet]

Is there gear tier list anyway? I am not up to date, just returned after years away

[whole crypt]

there has never been a gear tier list but if you want a gear guide

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

[wind hazel]

"Rudder is best gear"
-Mebot

[onyx flame]

there still the safe to scrap list

[hot merlin]

Hey guys, the endgame spreadsheet tl isn't opening the options to select which mode for me on mobile, like I can't select between hard arbiter, cm, meta, etc, the drop-down bar just doesn't show up

[tulip tinsel]

Refresh

[hot merlin]

Done already

It's as good as an image

[tulip tinsel]

This

[sinful relic]

little question, i never realised this was a thing, i dont think i can do it right now could i?

[tulip tinsel]

Easy is easy af

[muted wind]

just to flex

[timid beacon]

I didnt say this properly I meant that you can get more materials doing the loggers from opsi shop but never mentioned anything about the rainbow parts those you get from cats and the shop that’s abt it I believe

Cat nodess if lucky

What rainbow gear do you guys get to +13?

[sinful relic]

should be fine yes?

[hot merlin]

I mean this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/13YbPw3dM2eN6hr3YfVABIK9LVuCWnVZF0Zp2BGOZXc0/htmlview#gid=1370253760

[tulip tinsel]

Just use the site

[hot merlin]

Is it more complicated

[tulip tinsel]

Nah

[hot merlin]

Is it well updated

[tulip tinsel]

Meck gun

[hot merlin]

Unlike the EN TL

[onyx flame]

the site is just the spreadsheet in website form

[hot merlin]

And where do I look for gear advice

[muted wind]

the site also has gear advice

[onyx flame]

on regal as well

[timid beacon]

The website has it just look at it

[hot merlin]

Great

Ty, this helps

I'm a returning player of two consistent years

[wintry mango]

Hi, for the research focus i should choose PR/DR 8?? how about if i want to get anchorage?

[hot merlin]

Who has recently been on and off

[onyx flame]

you can coin ship from pr 1-6/dr 1-5 aka you can buy their blueprints with coins

[muted wind]

you still take PR8 as the research focus and coin anchorage

[wintry mango]

where to coin tho?

[onyx flame]

shipyard after you unlock them

[muted wind]

after you get her, where you'd otherwise spend the bp

[wintry mango]

blueprints only for upgrade right?

i still need to get enough tech point to unlock anchorage i assume?

[onyx flame]

yea

[sinful relic]

this boss is tanky but does no damage

[onyx flame]

If your talking about challenge mode all of the fights are gimmick fights

[sinful relic]

afe?

[somber bronze]

What did I do wrong

I defeated all tho

[sinful relic]

fight all the units that arent boss, and repeat it.

[somber bronze]

I have to redo the mission?

[sinful relic]

yep!

[wintry mango]

Does it matter which I choose here?

[somber bronze]

Oh.

[onyx flame]

You need to kill more escort fleets
It the side effect of the gaming changing some of the older map to only needing 1 clear

[onyx flame]

Start with the earlier ones

[wintry mango]

so i just start with season 1 right?

[onyx flame]

Pr1 preferable as to fully complete the mission you have to dev a ship from that series

[somber bronze]

Where do I earn more the exp cards

[onyx flame]

Mainly from the lecture hall

Which require like lvl 100 ships to generate exp books

[junior night]

hey, I just started the game a few days ago and im trying to do D3 stage of the event and it says I need a total of 800 EVA. What is the optimal way to get past that?

[somber bronze]

But I need the exp to level up my ship..?

[onyx flame]

You grind stages with your ships to get exp
Exp books are mainly for bring a low level ship up to a decent level where they can survive and grind

[onyx flame]

Bring more dds

[somber bronze]

I can't grind stages because I keep dying because of my low level ships

[granite escarp]

As someone in early game is it worth to use my UR Bulins for Gotz Von Berlichingen

[onyx flame]

Or shove some eva aux on if your barely short on the req

[onyx flame]

Then grind a lower level

[somber bronze]

I go back to the lower levels?

[sinful relic]

so tried the boss, i got close to killing her but ran out of time, i suppose nelson needs some work, and saratoga.

[junior night]

I’m kinda limited on ships and all the DDs I got aren’t leveled, is that something worth investing into?

[sinful relic]

oh.. this could be why LMAO. i honestly forgot about saratoga, ive been neglecting her

whats the ship sites for looking at gear?

[onyx flame]

https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/74

[sinful relic]

appreciated, i need to book mark these.

I- hmm, thats going tobe a problem, can i craft these guys?

[onyx flame]

No clue what you have but you should have your starter dd which is like 1/4 of the req alr but No real easy way to work around this ngl if its very far off grind at d1 instead

You could craft helldivers but you can also find them in EU techboxes

[sinful relic]

any good?

[junior night]

I have 720 EVA out of 800

[onyx flame]

Got any eva aux that you can put on your cruisers?

[onyx flame]

Keep the twin 105
Purple barrcuda is aight if you got no other parallel torp

[sinful relic]

my avg tech box opening

[junior night]

not enough, no. Can I buy them from somewhere?

[onyx flame]

Not really at most maybe you have gold rudder from research or maybe blue rudder/camo

Check your crafts ig

if your using only 1 fleet and you exceed the lvl req you can throw in some extra units into fleet 2 to meet the eva req as well

[ebon verge]

can someone share me their opsi fleets, mine have no issue clearing stuff but i havent updated them for a while, just want to see if there's any improvement from the newer ships

[sinful relic]

what i can make currently

[swift oyster]

Ive come back to the game and it looks like I just started PR6 when i stopped. Is it better to just skip to PR8 and work backwards?

[onyx flame]

i would unless your like insanely close to finishing the dr in 6
thou season 9 is coming in like july

[swift oyster]

Is PR8 a lot more worth completeing?

[eternal basalt]

(DRs anyway)

[junior night]

I managed to get the EVA cost but now im missing the level requirement. I’ll just wait until I have enough I guess

[wintry mango]

I saw in guide says lv70 pack is worthy, does it unlock significant stuff tho? And by normal gameplay, how long does it take to reach lvl70 commander lvl?

[onyx flame]

it takes 212460 cmd exp to reach lvl 70
the expect cmd exp you get from each battle is 59
that at least 3602 battles

individual battle btw, each campaign stage typically has a few battles in 1

it mainly just a time saver so that you arent stuck grinding cmd exp to access higher level chp

[jagged cedar]

Should i complete them all and then come back later and 3star them or 3star them as i unlock the mission

[wintry mango]

Hmm, guess I don't bother then, thanks ya

[ivory pawn]

Event stages: 3* as you play them (if you’re able to).
Story stages: Come back later to 3*.

[jade maple]

how do you guys unlock this? i already complete all custom order and the rewards

[ivory pawn]

Reach Mall Level 8, and check the City Map for the cutscenes.

[viscid swift]

About a month or so of active play, it's mainly a means of convenience since you don't have to deal with commander level gates progressing to W9 and you get a lot of gear with it.

[shrewd trail]

do all the main campaign levels give gems after getting 3 stars on them?

[viscid swift]

Yes, in normal mode.

[wintry mango]

Thanks, should be fine now since most oil goes to event stage farming now ig

[deep mauve]

Is this fleet good? And what should i do?

[tulip tinsel]

no

cheeky spawn the newbie guide

[viscid swift]

No, you might wanna give that a read.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTRJeUvu195lF7nGi0tqn39NdvCDq7TFac83vepK9s29OXA_8pWq6z5SH8lHoOmYIC0lQxRoJ1j2HBe/pub

[sinful relic]

cowpens or aquila? which one would be better with unicorn?

[deep mauve]

Oh hey thanks

[viscid swift]

For what.

[sinful relic]

just mobbing

[tulip tinsel]

kow

[viscid swift]

Mobbing where.

[sinful relic]

campaign

[viscid swift]

Which campaign stage.

[sinful relic]

12+

[viscid swift]

Depends on the set up, you might drop Unicorn and run Cowpens + Aquila.

[sinful relic]

my mob set up currently, laffey will be replaced by scylla when shes properly leveled further, alabama idk when ill replasce her but she does well. kurumi and unicorn is currently hard carrying

[plucky tapir]

speaking of cowpens, she's limited right? Do we have an estimate of when she might me a rerun?

[viscid swift]

Well, Alabama will most likely be replaced when you get to W14.

[viscid swift]

Early 2028.

[plucky tapir]

Yikes.

[mental estuary]

So you want to run a healer with another healer instead of a DPS carrier?

[sinful relic]

ooh okay, i can easily make it to 12-4 rn but im pretty much vibing on 12-1 for leveling and coins, replacing ships for better ones while getting better gear then ill be pushing w13 when i can. gotz will soon replace nelson in my boss fleet. saratoga... i just do not like her, but i dont have any other good alternatives ngl.

[heavy ember]

I'm have built all ships from PR6, do I go for 7 or 8 next? But I don't have them at lvl30 yet so should I start farmin exp for 7 or 8 and keep research prio T 6?

[viscid swift]

Might wanna give the relevant sections a read.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vT41s8l8HPMD96X8xgiHjhCfcfss8Si1eLSEGgMbFHUn37oqKwb2JI7PX0iKsOvPJ6M8iYs06KyR7O9/pub

[mental estuary]

Oh you don't have .... Buy Independence from the store and get her leveled up. She's better than Saratoga.

[viscid swift]

2 healers is pretty standard for W14+.

[sinful relic]

this one? i can get her rn, however i was told to save for the UR table

im 300 away from the table

is independence good on boss fleets?

[tulip tinsel]

mob

[sinful relic]

oh

[mental estuary]

I use her for mobbing she has a cross fleet buff you want your boss fleet to get.

[plucky tapir]

I'd get the fire table first imo, but that's only because I have gotz.

[sinful relic]

oh yeah i have gotz

im about to MLB, im just getting the last UR bulin i need

[whole crypt]

AFCT is immediately useful regardless of what BB you're using
Independence is meh until retrofit

[tulip tinsel]

indep only good if you can retro/aug her

[mental estuary]

Then get the table first but work on getting Gotz max starred as soon as you can.

[plucky tapir]

Dont you need more UR bullins for indedependence as well?

[sinful relic]

ive been doing hard modes since i started so i can pretty much max retrofit most ship i think?

[tulip tinsel]

indep is purple

[mental estuary]

No purple bullins

[whole crypt]

Independence is an elite she uses purple

[plucky tapir]

got it. thought she was an UR ship for whatever reason.

[sinful relic]

thats my main goal atm, ill either get the UR bulin from the m onthly store or the event, im extremely close to both

but thankfully ill have enough UR bulins as soon as alsace reruns.

[plucky tapir]

In any case, trying to grind out as many cores for the monthly cap I can before it resets.

[sinful relic]

whats the best way to do that? ive been just doing 12-1 on repeat XD

[whole crypt]

hm should I wait for Alsace rerun to LB 2501

[tulip tinsel]

dont u have enough to mlb everyone??

[whole crypt]

yes but I'm a hoarder

[sinful relic]

LB 2501?

i dont think im aware of all the URs ngl

[plucky tapir]

event UR submarine

[sinful relic]

OH

yeah i just got her but shes useless apart from collection for me

[tulip tinsel]

don't lb her unless waifu

[sinful relic]

was at 170 after getting the UR, i should have enough in time for alsace yeah?

[plucky tapir]

Same for me right now. But I put her in the dorm/comissions to level her up for the submarine daily missions in the future.

[sinful relic]

why do all the ironblood girls look either dominant or crazy

[fast mural]

why not

https://tenor.com/view/akairo-friedrich-azur-lane-gif-13962740

[sinful relic]

this is why sakura empire is superior since they have my wife amagi

how much event currency does this stage give per run btw?

[plucky tapir]

you.... can see it in the loot table?

[sinful relic]

yknow i totally forgot i could check that, im a bit slow and high on caffienee

[thin nebula]

What ship is good to get in pr3

[fast mural]

now Im suffering low oil

https://tenor.com/view/removing-screw-tj-hunt-oil-dripping-fixing-car-gif-20425472

[whole crypt]

please don't post unrelated gifs

[whole crypt]

Cheshire is probably the only ship that'll see any use on your way up

[tulip tinsel]

pr3 sucks

[whole crypt]

it doesn't suck as much as just being old

[thin nebula]

Oh alr, btw should I use nagato for Sakura bb?

[whole crypt]

why do you want to use an IJN BB

[fast mural]

it is related

[tulip tinsel]

how

[fast mural]

It is low oil

[whole crypt]

do you want to ask mods about that

[thin nebula]

She gives buffs das all

I honestly dk why I said Sakura bb💀

[whole crypt]

Musashi does more than the buff margin even if you're using her with IJN carriers

[plucky tapir]

Faction fleet buffs for the most part are 🗑️

[fast mural]

It is an not offensive joke to begin with.

[whole crypt]

it's not whether it's offensive, channel rules are channel rules

[plucky tapir]

Indeed. Help channels tend to have a lot more red tape on them in most discords to avoid them from becoming shitpost central places and allow people to ask questions and get answers better.

[fast mural]

That is why western fandom is a mess, but okay.

[thin nebula]

I don't have her hehe

[whole crypt]

just don't use faction fleets

[viscid swift]

More to the point, you didn't even ask a question, just a status update on your account.

[sinful relic]

important question, if i have money to blow, what be the most money well spent in the shop?
im assuming skin related stuff?

[viscid swift]

And this ain't a blogging channel.

[fast mural]

Just leave it at that, will ya?

[whole crypt]

direct gem purchase -> dorm/dock expansions

cruise pass gives decent resources if you like that

skins is literally the bottom priority unless you're waifuing

[sinful relic]

already bought the cruise pass since most of the time theyre the most worth while thing, i didnt see any good monthly stuff that really gave a decent supply

[frank mason]

hi can iask at this event the Daily sp clear and the daily random misson is happen to what day 17/6 or 1/6 or it stop today

[sweet delta]

Skins are high priority for money in my opinion

[sinful relic]

at most whats a good spot to stop at for dock expansion?

[sweet delta]

There are 700+ unique ships in the game who take dock space

[sinful relic]

appreciated

[plucky tapir]

I got the Gold bullins from the medal shop. I did not get the DR8 blueprints yet, but the shop is about to refresh soonish. I can maybe get the Special Dr8 prints in time before the refresh, or should I stock up on medals for next month's stuff? Since I do not think I'm going to medals nearly as quickly or much next month.

[viscid swift]

870 is what I have right now.

[sinful relic]

that sounds like expensive...

im currently at 200.

[whole crypt]

you don't have to buy all of it at once

just buy as much as space as it takes for you to grind comfortably without needing to scrap ships like every other sortie

[sinful relic]

ooh okay

[eternal basalt]

Also we got a ton of free gems thriugh the years... 200 for mandatory, x00 for anniversaries, apologems

[whole crypt]

you can buy more with future free gems, you're mostly just paying for the catchup

[sinful relic]

actually would enty be a good replacement for saratoga in my boss fleet?

[whole crypt]

Saratoga would be more of a mob ship but that depends on what you have now

[plucky tapir]

Enterprise would be an upgrade over saratoga yes.

Also does not require retrofit expense either.

[sinful relic]

well my mob fleet is pretty much done for now, i wont be replacing any of them apart from laffey for scylla.

[plucky tapir]

In fact, which server are you playing on at the moment?

[sinful relic]

little enterprise, enty isnt in shop but im reading the shop prioritisation and seen enty over other CV's

[plucky tapir]

Have you picked up San Diego and Sirus from medal shop yet?

[sinful relic]

oh sirus?
no i havent

[plucky tapir]

She's not as important as San Diego but, still nice to get while you can easily.

decent CL for bossing fleet.

[sinful relic]

idk about helena but saratoga needs to be replace soonish since i do not want to invest too much into her. this is my boss fleet.

[sweet delta]

I know someone who got 17400

[sinful relic]

laffey will be replaced by scylla.

[quartz breach]

What do I do to unlock the final entry for the mall story? I watched every chapter of it but I am stuck at 7/8.

Got all the mall rewards too.

[sweet delta]

Level up the mall to 8

[spark patio]

I think u need to make all the floors in "S" rank

[sinful relic]

wait uh

who would anchorage replace?

[tulip tinsel]

ancho is tank

[sinful relic]

is tohka a tank or no?

[tulip tinsel]

i think she's more dps than tank

[sinful relic]

so mid pack?

[tulip tinsel]

ancho is really tanky

[thin nebula]

What r the good things I should get in gear lab

[hollow gust]

More then tanky enough for basically all content

[sinful relic]

because i uh accidently bought the PR research instead of something else. so i just insta unlocked anchorage. but its fine since it was extremely cheap. however was it worth? likely not XD. so shes maxed now

granted i have no clue what she uses

[thin nebula]

Well if u didn't have a spare tank she is good

Not good as agir tho

Or guam

[sinful relic]

well ig i could remove helena from the middle and put tohka there and then anchorage at the front?

[tulip tinsel]

her smokescreen can be nice

[thin nebula]

Should I get wyverns

[tulip tinsel]

2

[whole crypt]

Tohka is fairly durable, if anything she can go into offtank but I don't remember her ehp comparison with anchorage

[sinful relic]

also is it possible to make tohka stronger...?

granted thats like her best gun i have ava

[tulip tinsel]

UR gear

[sinful relic]

ahh okay

[tulip tinsel]

the aux gun, aa gun, could use improvement

[sinful relic]

i remember doing SP for the event, and tohka kinda got absolutely bench pressed within 30 seconds XD

[sinful relic]

gold?

and gold? XD

unless this aa is better

[tulip tinsel]

i don't think that's gonna change much

[sinful relic]

well darn

[whole crypt]

your choice of AA gun isn't seriously important before ch13

[sinful relic]

true, however im sort of making my way to get ready for ch13? am i ready? hell no, but i do want to get ready for it

[whole crypt]

13 you just want a lot of roombas

[sinful relic]

would it be like this? granted saratoga needs to go sometime when i can get a good replacement

[tulip tinsel]

grind 12-4 to get stronk

put the twins in middle

[sinful relic]

i dont think theres anything to replace saratoga in my line up actually

wait.. is yoshino good...?

[viscid swift]

Cowpens if you're in that much of a hurry.

[sinful relic]

or tahou

[fossil seal]

For the daily green opsi missions,when I clear the map the green pointer is still there,what should I do next

[spark patio]

what is that

[tulip tinsel]

ancho skill

[fossil seal]

I went to another map that had moving stuff around like a puzzle,should I do that or

[sinful relic]

well i could always place her in so she can level up.

[sinful relic]

oh dang cowpens is that much better?

[night dirge]

Lion or nj?

[viscid swift]

Lion.

[fossil seal]

How to remove green pointer if I already cleared out a daily green mission in opsi chat

[tulip tinsel]

did you clear the whole map?

[fossil seal]

Yea

[sinful relic]

like this?

[thin nebula]

just wanna ask what pair should I run between hakohou Shinano and Amagi cv

[fossil seal]

There's this place that takes me to another map tho

[viscid swift]

Sure, not like that for leveling though.

[fossil seal]

Moving a box thing around failed a lot and gave up

[sinful relic]

yeye, just checking formation currently.
and this formation for mob?

[whole crypt]

move more until TB asks to solve it for you

[viscid swift]

That works, sure.

[sweet delta]

Akashhi

[sinful relic]

how would i go about leveling them? in terms of formation?

[fossil seal]

Damn akashi carry

[sweet delta]

I thought it's TB

[fossil seal]

Thanks chat

[viscid swift]

6 that need levels, once one reaches level 120, rotate them out for another ship.

[viscid swift]

I can't remember.....

[whole crypt]

it is cheeky spreading misinfo

[fossil seal]

So it's a one time thing,I won't be asked to do the puzzle in next months reset right

[whole crypt]

puzzles are one-off

[fossil seal]

Ok thanks

[sinful relic]

wait all 6? oh damn i didnt think i replace the entire team for levels

[viscid swift]

Yeah, that's how it's done.

[sinful relic]

surprisingly kurumi has the most XP out of everyone. she has 305k built up so i think i can bring her to level 125. but thats a waste currently

[viscid swift]

You need 875k just to go from 115 to 120.

And another 1.31 million for 120 to 125.

[sinful relic]

mb lemme rephrase that, i got her to 120, but she has 305k built up.
AHH okay thats allot. im surprised tohka reached 125 that fast

NVM alabama is can go to max

[viscid swift]

Yeah I wouldn't.

[sinful relic]

yeah im not, im just getting everyone to level 120 first.

[whole crypt]

you don't need to 125 anything that won't be a semi-permanent fixture for lategame

[sinful relic]

im hoping tohka can stay until late game

[whole crypt]

she's really not bad but she'll probably get replaced eventually

[sinful relic]

damn, oh well im happy she brought me from the start all the way to where i am and probably further.

[whole crypt]

https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/10151

[sinful relic]

oh damn so id have to replace her around chapter 15... im not up to any of the single wave bosses yet

[whole crypt]

you don't have to, but you'll likely come across something that rates better than her as you go on

[rustic cobalt]

Hi guys what should i use my gems on as a benggeingr?

[forest palm]

/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 💳.

[forest palm]

this wall of text'll give ya your answer

[quasi slate]

Would Kronstadt be a better replacement for Helena?

[sinful relic]

would this be fine for leveling?

[rustic cobalt]

Oh thats nice

[whole crypt]

no and that fleet is kind of cursed

[viscid swift]

Yes, with Sandy main tanking though.

[whole crypt]

I can't tell what you're doing with it

[quasi slate]

Cool and what would u change

[whole crypt]

I don't know what to change without knowing what you have and what you want to use this fleet for

[sinful relic]

got it, is this fine for gear? i do have the gold main gun version but this pu rple one was slightly leveled already

[viscid swift]

She wants fast reloading torpedoes
https://azur-lane-regal.suchiguma.com/ship/20018

[whole crypt]

also please enhance that steering wheel

[sinful relic]

dw im just double checking if the gear is fine.

[quasi slate]

I want to eventually take on chapter 14 (I just autoed all of 13 with this) I’m a casual I do daily raids and just auto blow through the events and auto them

I do need to get to Op Sci too

[rustic cobalt]

There r so many faction gear which one is good to get? Or r they all the same? Do ships get bonus if equipped with same faction gear?

[quasi slate]

Ill post my dock

[whole crypt]

do it in a thread

[sinful relic]

and for cowpens this?

[eternal basalt]

No to all

[rustic cobalt]

So where do I spend my coins

[forest palm]

not like you should be buying from that shop, tends to be overpriced

[eternal basalt]

You have 12k...

[rustic cobalt]

I can't seem to find anywhere to spend my coins it's gonna get maxed soon

[whole crypt]

LBing your ships
retrofitting your ships
enhancing your gear
crafting better gear
research
12k is chump change

[quasi slate]

Team Building

[eternal basalt]

Maxed is 600k

[rustic cobalt]

Oh there's crafting? I'm a begginer so max Is 19k for me

[forest palm]

toss the beginners guide at'em

[whole crypt]

you can stock over the displayed cap, not that I would recommend staying over cap for too long as a new player

[sinful relic]

how does one get this?

[eternal basalt]

Doesn't even mention pulling from gacha

Being "safe" for UR is 300k

[quasi slate]

Can you see the images when you click on them they don’t show a preview in my thread

[eternal basalt]

(little less for rerun)

[whole crypt]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/550mm_Twin_Torpedo_Mount#tabber-Type_3

[sinful relic]

got it

this good?

[hoary relic]

no rudder for her?

[sinful relic]

i dont have rudders

[hoary relic]

well then things are fine by now

upgrade her skill btw

[sinful relic]

yeye i will, two ships are getting their skills done rn

[native folio]

there is no rush to get the event UR right now, right? I'm still trying to level up all my ships to meet the SP level threshold

[winged falcon]

hey what ship would you recommend with the special invitation from the event? thanks

[sinful relic]

okay i think everyone is ready for exp grinding? need to level my UR

[native folio]

What is the best level to get ship exp? Is it D3 or a normal world level?

[hoary relic]

pretty sure D3, 12-4 if u already done with farming event pts

[whole crypt]

D3 is pretty shit but event takes precedence if you're not done with points yet

[rustic cobalt]

Whag does ships that are for collection / tech means?

[native folio]

as long as you can clear the SP event, youll get 200 of that token currency to get U-2501 right? how do you get another 300 to get the second copy?

[forest palm]

D-3 will be better than farming sub world 11 that's for sure

[eternal basalt]

You can get 200 without SP (dunno in the rerun though)

Second copy REQUIRES buying points in the shop

[ivory pawn]

Pins break it down, but there’s about 425 free available, plus another 500 in the shop, so there’s plenty.

[native folio]

Can you get those currency besides the missions?

[hoary relic]

exchange with event points

[hoary relic]

so we gonna need 11.25k event pts for 75vouchers

i guess i'd stop at 60k pts milestone

[eternal basalt]

Second UR copy is not worth it. But maybe that's just 200k+ core talking.

[hoary relic]

[ivory pawn]

That’s 200k core talking.

[hoary relic]

berli's 2nd skill is so shit, making her shells doing below 100 dmg whenever the fleet run out of ammo

[weary edge]

that's why she's better for bossing and opsi

[hoary relic]

kinda annoying to see while grinding lv for her

[ivory pawn]

Just farm 12-4.

[weary edge]

i mean, i still grind 12-4 with her just fine for levelling so

[eternal basalt]

She does 1 damage unleveled

[hoary relic]

yep she does

[hoary relic]

i still need to farm 10k event pts for 75 vouchers then screw D3 stage

[viscid swift]

something something

[ivory pawn]

Just do each normal daily.

[eternal basalt]

I'm set for 70k... now 2 weeks nothing

[hoary relic]

berli works better with other IB BBs so she would go with meck and biscuit?

[viscid swift]

She doesn't have any pairing requirements.

[hoary relic]

then who should i pair with her

[viscid swift]

Other good ships as always.

[hoary relic]

then who particularly?

[ivory pawn]

Meck and Biscuit are good ships so they’ll work.

[tulip tinsel]

lion meck

[eternal basalt]

I do Lion and BisII

[tulip tinsel]

why did i get 🫃 emoted smh smh

[hoary relic]

why not

i guess meck bis and berli would do

[eternal basalt]

Sad 🦁 noises

[pearl oxide]

Hello, is the wiki the place to go for information about how to play the game or is there another site more adapted to it?

[eternal basalt]

There are plenty of sites, each with it's pro's and cons... what are you looking for?

[pearl oxide]

for now, some kind of starter guide/info

[eternal basalt]

That's not on the wiki

[pearl oxide]

Also, some info of what the game gets to be (if is has endgame and how do you reach it)

[ebon verge]

can someone share me their opsi fleets, mine have no issue clearing stuff but i havent updated them for a while, just wanted to see if there's any improvement from the newer ships

[viscid swift]

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

Thanks

[ebon verge]

Try regal (suchiguma)

[pearl oxide]

Is that a youtube channel or something like that?

Oh, I found it, is a site

Suchi/sushi is one of our community members and does a lot of work analyzing shipgirls and events for us.

[pearl oxide]

Oh I see, thank you very much

[clear harbor]

They also have a YouTube channel
https://www.youtube.com/@Suchiguma

[ebon verge]

Yep there's some guides there you can give it some read

[clear harbor]

They're pretty active in this channel, too.

[clear harbor]

This guide should also be helpful. I would start there.

[night helm]

How do you get gifts to boost affinity?

[ebon verge]

Man if i were a newbie I wouldn't survive this amount of reading check

[eternal basalt]

Island mode

[night helm]

Guess i finally have to do the island mode

[tulip tinsel]

waste of time

[sacred parrot]

If im gonna be farming exp for shipyard, do I only use one fleet?

[sweet delta]

Same as usual, you can use a separate fleet for the boss or not

[woven star]

Boss can be hard for low lvl. Putting something in second fleet that close to cap 115-120 lvl can be a solution

[pearl oxide]

Nah, I'd read

[pearl oxide]

Omg, is the person

[upper geyser]

when would be a rough guess that chapter 15 hard mode could come out?

[viscid swift]

Around the same time as W17 comes out so a year and half off roughly.

[slender forge]

Does beating a hard stage in clearing mode decrease the threat level? (Asking for 14-3 and 14-4 hard)

[viscid swift]

Yes.

[slender forge]

Cool

[sacred parrot]

When I'm farming exp for shipyard, where do I put the ships im using to farm exp? Mob or Boss fleet

[sweet delta]

Considering that the relevant maps have 6 mob battles and only 1 boss battle, I believe the mob fleet gains almost 6 times as much exp

[sacred parrot]

Thought so. Just wanted to make sure

[tender vortex]

Hey regarding the event for the stories/mall it won’t let me collect the last “a gift for you” is there a gimmick to unlock it?

[ivory pawn]

Make sure to reach Mall lvl 8, which is just going through your employees again to make sure you reach the goals on each floor.

[tender vortex]

Thank you sm

[white agate]

are these the only opsi improvememt or was there something else?

[forest palm]

yes, the two new prompts just do the first two prompts repeatedly

[daring jasper]

what should i do as a new player?

[ivory pawn]

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

[haughty pivot]

i cant see last travellog in the " the opulent the glamorous luxury bay" event. any help?

[hollow void]

Did you level mall to level 8?

[haughty pivot]

its lvl 7

oh mb now i figured out

[ivory pawn]

Yeah just level it to 8.

[haughty pivot]

i needed to click "start managing"

[woven star]

Check "upgrade requirements"

[oak walrus]

Ngl i finished that like, the day I could get to lvl8, and I have maybe 2k more points than needed for the last thing, im locked tf in on getting the last 6 notes I need for the sub, then I can get Nuln META

[sacred parrot]

Why did Unicorn get 0 exp?

[timid beacon]

Hit the max XP cap a ship can hold after 125 which is 3M XP

[oak walrus]

if she gets to the cap, she can't gain any more XP, iirc 125 is the hardcap, though i could be wrong (i am very much more focused on just leveling up my current mob fleet with AR retrofit)

[copper garden]

is there any point in me building roon after i research her if i already have anchorage and prinz moritz?

[sacred parrot]

Aah. What about for when I'm farming exp for shipyard? Should I not use ships that have hit the cap, or does it still somehow count it?

[white agate]

you like her or her skin?else only for tech if she is useful

[jagged cedar]

Should i summon?

[white agate]

its a ur

a new ur at it, so if you can reach 200/200 to grantee her sure

[white agate]

how many blue cubes?

[jagged cedar]

29.. im new

[undone plover]

u can try to get her
i would but up to you if u dont want to risk it

general advice is you pull and pray u get her no matter how new

[copper garden]

for tech points and as a second tank initially but now i have moritz and i found shes p good so ig just tech points now

[jagged cedar]

And if i don’t get her🗣️

[undone plover]

well then that is sad but rly not much u can do about it
such is gacha

[jagged cedar]

Well i win those🗣️🙏(Hopefully)

[undone plover]

u could save and try and guarentee for alsace (UR rerun) but i think even that wont be guarenteed u would need 300 cubes by 2-3 weeks
and after that it is waiting for Sep for another UR

like i said if i were you i would pull and pray

[eternal basalt]

Build 3 a day to get bonus event currency atleast

Is new ultra rare ship worth it

[ivory pawn]

The answer to that question has always been yes.

[misty dust]

Im struggle at w14

[ivory pawn]

Depending on how exactly you're struggling, she might not help you not struggle. Her kit unfortunately limits her to boss fleet only during campaign.

[jagged cedar]

How to get my coins up fast

Anyway

[ivory pawn]

Pre-chapter 9 you rely heavily on missions, daily challenges, and Market.

[oak walrus]

go for it, she isn't as rare as it feels, i got her maybe 30 cubes in

and ngl, she's pretty decent even underleveled as hell

[ivory pawn]

Once you make it to chapter 9 (or Event Part 2 Hard) your coin income from stages will skyrocket.

[jagged cedar]

I in fact win those

Even tho i kinda wasted my gems to get coins cause i were impatient

[oak walrus]

ngl, coins aren't even rare imo, it's just early game you have so many uses for it that supply can't always match demand until w9

[undone plover]

Avoid doing that again pls
Congrats but read the guide I linked

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.

[viscid swift]

How much was wasted exactly on coins.....

[oak walrus]

tbf, you don't really need more dockyard space as long as you're concious about how large your current collection is

[viscid swift]

What.

[daring jasper]

uh

i bought unicorn from guild toekn shop but shes not appearing in my roster

[ivory pawn]

Check filters.

[undone plover]

U never really NEED anything nut not having dockspace is pain
Pain that is at least manageable with good use of f2p gems

[oak walrus]

yea, it's mostly a pain when i'm in the middle of auto-sortie number 2, and i get "dockyard full"

[jagged cedar]

So i fk up great

[ivory pawn]

If you only bought coins like once or twice it's not too bad.

[undone plover]

How much did u spend like cheeky asked

[daring jasper]

how do i level my ships up

[ivory pawn]

Fight with them.

[oak walrus]

they lvl on their own when you battle, but also you can use EXP books, which are a lvl60 thing iirc

[jagged cedar]

200..

[daring jasper]

oh

[timid peak]

what should we buy in op siren? port shop and also exchange shop

[oak walrus]

you can get them early game, but they start being given for free at 60 from ships over lvl100

[undone plover]

Not the worst thing
If u ever spend down the line u can fix it
And we get 900 gems this august

[jagged cedar]

Aight then

[ivory pawn]

Eh, 10 dock slots, you'll live.

[jagged cedar]

Well if i end up playing for a while and stick with the game ill fore sure get 400 from the shop.. cause why not

[daring jasper]

should i get 3 stars on every story node?

[oak walrus]

they should make it an excel sheet atp, better organized

[viscid swift]

Why.

[oak walrus]

campaign? yes, everything else don't bother

[daring jasper]

its the main story

[viscid swift]

It would be impractical to try and fit in an excel sheet.

[oak walrus]

as i said, more organized, don't gotta scroll, especially when it's meant to tell you priorities and what to buy, what not to buy, etc, feels pointless having it as a google doc too, impractical application that's been outdated by a decade

[ivory pawn]

The google doc covers more than just shop prio, it covers all of opsi.

[viscid swift]

There's literally a table of contents at the start with hyperlinks to each section.

[oak walrus]

i couldn't imagine even opening that, you'd have to give me a virus for it ngl, i'd rather screw about and find out myself

[ivory pawn]

You can skip 3*ing initially and come back later, it's more important to progress to the next stage.

[viscid swift]

It's literally just a google doc I've published to the web, nothing scary.

[oak walrus]

i didn't say it was scary? i'm just saying i couldn't be bothered opening it and it'd have to be opened remotely by somebody else because i rather having fun over playing a walkthrough of someone elses

[viscid swift]

It's not a walk through.

It's an explanation of what everything is in OpSi, what does what, fleet building, etc.

[ivory pawn]

Fortunately opsi isn't too complicated, it just dumps everything on you almost at once with minimal explanations.

[daring jasper]

mk

how do i change the uh
character in the home scree

[oak walrus]

that's... the concept of a walkthrough, guiding somebody else towards the correct path or knowledge, anyways im gonna be more productive than having an argument with somebody who isn't interested in a fruitful discussion, good day to y'all 🫡

[ivory pawn]

Top left, where you see a little chibi of the character. Then change your secretary.

[daring jasper]

should i do the events first or story?

[white agate]

just remember to never criticize a ship as a mid ass ship design and inferior estetically compared to the shop ur else ypu will need to do 200/200, coincidences sure, but every time i do it happens

[sweet delta]

[daring jasper]

why do orders take 1.5 to even 4 hours?

[viscid swift]

Commissions? Ask the devs.

[undone plover]

do story until u can clear A1 from event

[viscid swift]

The realistic answer though is to force you to spend more time on the game.

[daring jasper]

Can I get her for free or nah

[sweet delta]

Imagine making a shitty suggestion for something you didn't even open

[viscid swift]

You can only get her by grinding.

[undone plover]

difficult but doable if u play enough over the next 2 weeks

[viscid swift]

There's no way to pay for the event points to get her.

[daring jasper]

yeah i meant like where do i grind for those mats?

oh i see

[viscid swift]

Check the 2nd pin in this channel.

[daring jasper]

can i only get it by paying coins for it in the event shop

[ivory pawn]

You will probably have to, but you get a bunch of the vouchers for free from some sources.

[undone plover]

if u get lucky and pull the event banner ships it gets easier
but if u are new u probably want to stop after u get Goetz

[ivory pawn]

Big one is on top right, the third icon that looks like a tall building. One of the menus is a minigame, playing it once a day for 7 days will get you half of the vouchers you need.

[daring jasper]

huh
im prob cooked then maybe

[undone plover]

ppl have managed to do it
just try your best

[ivory pawn]

You can get her, 100%.

[daring jasper]

the mall management or the operation vacation

[ivory pawn]

Vacation.

[daring jasper]

i meant uh gotz
im at 7/200 so far

[ivory pawn]

Oh Gotz. Eh, you probably won’t be able to hit 200, but ideally you don’t need to.

[undone plover]

actually should be very easy yeah
105 from mini game
14 days left
that is 70 pts
u will 100% get her if u login daily

[ivory pawn]

Btw don’t have to do the full 5 minutes, can just enter and exit(top left).

[daring jasper]

is the gacha rate decent enough to not need 200?

[ivory pawn]

Generally yes, but as always, gacha is gacha so it’s there as a safety net.

[undone plover]

yeah
you have a 50% chance to get her by pull 58 i think

70% if u hit 100 pulls which could be possible for u i think in 2 weeks

[daring jasper]

who do i get from the free SR letter

[ivory pawn]

I’d just sit on it tbh.

[clear harbor]

SR Selector Ship Overview
Note: The ticket doesn’t expire, so if you’re not sure of who to get, just hold onto it. The most optimal use of it would be to wait until you’re missing just one of the ships.

Janus: A mediocre SR DD, collection/tech only.

Emden: A decent but powercrept SR CL, mainly collection/tech.

Sirus: A mediocre SR cruiser with decent buffs for CVs. I would not choose her since she can be obtained from the Medal Shop.

Graf Zeppelin: An overall mediocre SR CV.

Taiho: A somewhat mediocre SR CV, though she’s a decent option for new players. Note, she does need her unique augment to perform at her best.

Tashkent: A solid SR DD with decent output and eHP. Note, she does need her unique augment to perform at her best.

Baltimore: A mediocre SR CA with a relatively small buff for Eagle Union Carriers, mainly collection/tech. I would not choose her since she can be obtained from the Medal Shop.

Sovetskaya Belorussiya: A mediore SR BB, collection/tech only.
From Cheeky's guide in pins.

Sitting on an invitation is common. Save until there's only one unobatained shipgirl and use that to claim the last.

[ivory pawn]

Gameplay-wise none will be particularly notable, if there’s one you want specifically feel free to use it on them. Unless it’s Baltimore or Sirus, both have easy alternate ways to obtain.

[daring jasper]

mk

whats an SP clear?

[timid peak]

thanks, this was super helpful. is there a central list for all guides? looking for gear lab next

[ivory pawn]

Not all guides, but there’s a bunch here including what you’re looking for: https://suchiguma.github.io/miniguides/gear-lab

[daring jasper]

where do i access the bp i might be blind

[inland shoal]

A clear of the event map called SP, it has it's own tab below part 1 and part 2

[daring jasper]

Is the meta ship any good?

[inland shoal]

Decent, not great, especially not great for you

[ivory pawn]

Not particularly, and META ships are extremely anti-new player friendly.

[daring jasper]

damn

worth using over the rares i have or nah

[inland shoal]

Well technically yes, but there's other options you should just use instead over the rares you have

[ivory pawn]

Nope. Ideally you’re using a good amount of blues/purples right now.

[daring jasper]

huh
im broke on the gold coins ok

[inland shoal]

Like standard procedure is getting Unicorn and Penny from guildshop together with Portland and Helena I believe

[daring jasper]

yeah i got those

is there any point to doing the mall event

[ivory pawn]

Well there’s coin rewards iirc.

[inland shoal]

There's gold plates and skill books too

[ivory pawn]

It also only takes like 15 minutes to get all rewards if you skip.

[inland shoal]

So yes, there is a point to doing it, it's also rather fast and braindead to complete

[daring jasper]

mk

[timid peak]

how do i read this haha i just go down the order for new player and prioritize building those equip?

[ivory pawn]

Prioritize S’s in the New Player column and check the quantity too.

They’re split into sections too, but Main Fleet Gear is the most important anyways.

Generally save UR prints, UR ords, and Electronics for 2 Wyverns > 2 Junkers > 1+ Tenrai, and go from there.
You can skim through other stuff you might want to see if you can craft some without using the mats I just mentioned.

[timid peak]

i seeee. how come they're mostly planes? for bb ships then do we just slap any old gold gun on them

[ivory pawn]

Cause for BB ships you can buy great anti hvy/med guns with protocore and the purple triple mk6 hits way outside its rarity for light and mobbing.

Can craft some twin 113s for aux if you want. (and if they don’t cost electronics)

[viscid swift]

Might wanna consider adding descriptions for them.....

[knotty nacelle]

Hey guys, what should I pick, I'm just play this game a hours, and got it

So what I should take?

[ivory pawn]

Start here: #gameplay-help message and read the next 3 or 4 messages.

[wind island]

check pins; tldr, is they're all mid, pick whoever you like

[knotty nacelle]

Okay

[timid beacon]

Gonna have to swap ships

[ivory pawn]

(It counts, but you should still swap.)

[wind island]

/prgrind

[odd root]

Does __ count for Shipyard Combat Data Collection EXP?

Yes

• Combat in Main Campaign, Events, Operation Siren
• Ships that are level capped for any reason, if the EXP otherwise would count. Even if you see +0.
• Muse (µ) ships and loli ships, if the faction matches.
• Use faction filters in Dock to double check.

No

• EXP from Exercise, Dorm, EXP Data Packs, Commissions.
• META ships. They are META faction, not the faction of their normal counterparts.

[timid peak]

this is the latest protocore spending guide? https://azurlaneecgc.com/research/#protocore_spending

is it still up to date? i don't see any PR7 or PR8 guns in there

wait, is protocore spending on La-9 really that important?

it seems much more efficient to get them passively while doing research focus VII, especially since they're not really that important until pretty late in the game

[chilly lark]

Is their a tier list I can use besides the one the community one that’s not being used anymore

[viscid swift]

You want them in quantity and depending on how PR9 turns out doing PR7 research focus may not be advantageous.

[noble lynx]

Is second Georgia gun worth it or wait for Meck

[timid beacon]

Wait mech was coming to protocore shop

[noble lynx]

I do have enough for both

[viscid swift]

No.

[ivory pawn]

Not until next year.

[wind island]

what's coming next year?

[viscid swift]

Mecklenburg gun to the Prototype Shop.

Can't wait for gun number 5/6 depending on how RNG goes.

[sweet delta]

I don't even have enough protocore for my seventh la9

[hidden pasture]

I just found sth called Alas and its some kind of macro, is it bannable?

[soft raft]

Iirc yes it's a bannable offense

Not like there's even really any reason to run a macro for this game anyways

[hidden pasture]

Alrighty

[woven star]

[wary saffron]

Is there a way for me to change my lobby music

I hate it

[oak walrus]

Mute game music and listen to your own stuff

[clear harbor]

Is Christmas time the only time the lobby music changes?

Oh, I think it may have changed for some collabs, too?

[robust onyx]

Set a collab character with alternate skin as a secretary

[wary saffron]

No thanks

[wary saffron]

Already done that but I was checking if there is an option to change the music in game

[sweet delta]

You can do it in the jukebox with the albums by setting one album

[peak fable]

where is that one image of which of the standard pool pity URs are worth to get?

not looking for suchis tier list, just that image

[peak fable]

ty

[spice idol]

There’s nothing to do about this right? I just waste them and start again next month?

This was my first full month playing so first time I’ve come across this.

[north gorge]

Yeah after you cap for the month that's normal

[peak fable]

if you play even semi-regularly, you will easily get 5k per month, so yes, just trash it

[spice idol]

Ok thanks

[tulip coyote]

Is three rainbow torp better on her or other set up ?

[solar sapphire]

Hello again

I have three questions, first, what is the time thing for the newer ships in the pulls?

[viscid swift]

You can find them in the ALDB.https://azurlane.mrlar.dev/db/tracker

[ivory pawn]

I've been seeing Torp + Snorkel + Hull primarily, but triple torp should be more than fine outside of campaign.

[ivory pawn]

Also run the other augment.

[honest tulip]

How many days do I have to get submarine

[ivory pawn]

About 2 weeks ish.

[honest tulip]

Perfect

[sweet delta]

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

[wind island]

since your 2501 is 0LB i'm going to assume you're using her for the crossfleet, the only scaling matters are TRP + skill level, triple oxytorp is probably best, if marginal

[ivory pawn]

More specifically, 6/11 is the final day. So 2 weeks plus 1 day. I was almost right on the money, nice.

[honest tulip]

Cool

[median prism]

Between Gotz and Musashi, eho is better

[sweet delta]

You can check tier list because it depends on the situation

[median prism]

Can you run NJ, Gotz and Musashi in 1 fleet lol

[sweet delta]

Certainly nothing is stopping you

[whole crypt]

how many can the new scanning options spawn

[median prism]

Is it a good use of them tho lol

Its prolly good for the guild events only lol

[atomic abyss]

If it's in opsi and you have no other UR BBs
Yes

[median prism]

My only 2 UR BBs are NJ and Soyuz

But i hear alsace is coming up

And i can only afford to MLB 2 URs

Is Mogador good too?

[ivory pawn]

Not really, don't MLB her if you lack a full UR backline.

[median prism]

I got 3 main MLB URs
Hakuhou, Soyuz and NJ

[ivory pawn]

Just need to save like 1 or 2 bulins for Alsace unless you want to MLB her day 1 of her event probably.

[median prism]

I have 7

Just came back after a month cuz i was like "aight i got soyuz my job is done"

[ivory pawn]

Sweet, if you get Gotz and Alsace you can MLB them both easily and maybe even have enough leftover to look at someone else.

[oak walrus]

She's a pain to get, 30k points if you dont spend any, just for the 1st one at 200

[honest tulip]

Expected, but I have more than enough time to do it

[solar sapphire]

Good, second thing, are the borrow skins able to be used for like Amagi if you have normal Amagi and not CV Amagi?

Because that's my situation, honestly I don't have any of the three yet, even Mogador

[north gorge]

Not unless the Devs specifically make it possible

[ivory pawn]

I don't believe Amagi can share skins between her two ships at all unfortunately.

[solar sapphire]

Oh well, I guess this time I won't be using any

[viscid swift]

The mini game literally gives you 105 vouchers for free.

[ivory pawn]

Alt forms need to be the same hull type, to my knowledge.

[solar sapphire]

Like Bismark and Bismark Zwei?

[ivory pawn]

Yes.

[viscid swift]

Not to mention we still have 2 weeks worth of daily missions to go.

[ivory pawn]

Idk if skin sharing works on rentals tho, I'd kinda like to find out now.

[solar sapphire]

Honestly it is a weird choice, but anyways. Will we possibly get Mogador before that ends?

[viscid swift]

And the missions to use the event ships in the boss fleet for B3.

[solar sapphire]

I heard we might get the rerun of the french ships

[ivory pawn]

We are, next month.

[solar sapphire]

Ah, too late by then for trying that skin then

[ivory pawn]

Greater than 0% chance we can theoretically get Mog before the rental leaves, but I would not bet on it.

[solar sapphire]

Well, doesn't matter

Oh, wait, for real?

That's actually good news, thanks

[viscid swift]

Nope.

[solar sapphire]

Also, what is that "Wishing well" thing

I've been out for like, 3 years

[viscid swift]

JP patch notes make no mention of the rerun for this week or next week.

[ivory pawn]

Still greater than 0%! If it starts the week after next!

But personally my bet is the 18th, in which case you're out of luck.

[viscid swift]

Skins should be gone by the 11th.

[oak walrus]

i wasn't talking about the minigame, i was talking solely on points alone

[solar sapphire]

It was just because I wanted to test that skin, it is not really that important. But thanks

[viscid swift]

Why would you do that?

They give you so many ways to earn them for a reason.

[ivory pawn]

And even if it did start the week after next, you have like no time to get enough vouchers for Mog anyways.

[viscid swift]

The mini game is literarally just 21 taps.

[solar sapphire]

Vouchers for Mogador?

Wait, I don't need to pull for her?

[ivory pawn]

She's a freebie like our sub this event, aye.

[solar sapphire]

Wait, what? Are we having a free UR?

[oak walrus]

Wait where do you get her? I might as well while I work for the meta

[solar sapphire]

Like, rn?

[oak walrus]

Through an event, but yea, a UR SS

[subtle grotto]

is Alsace rerunning next?

[ivory pawn]

Yes.

[solar sapphire]

Ah, I remember that last question, I read somewhere that we might be able to choose the loading screens, is that true? And, is it available now if yes? Or is it for a future update?

[subtle grotto]

So should I save or use wishing well for Perseus? been eyeing her for a while

[solar sapphire]

Is it rn?

Well... How

[ivory pawn]

If you mean Mog, next event in a similar fashion to the current event.

[soft raft]

Is avaliable right now via the same menu where you set your chat frames and etc

Only problem is like 2/3rds of the current options are comic panels and there's not many loading screens avaliable

[wind hazel]

it's live now, but extremely limited. change at your profile

[ivory pawn]

Top left on home screen, then Style top right, then it's the last option on the left side of the screen iirc.

Not all former loading screens are available, but a lot are.

Although I don't remember seeing the comic panel options, I wonder if because I don't have comics downloaded.

[soft raft]

prob could be why

[solar sapphire]

Could definitely be the reason

Anyways, thanks, really, if I got any other question I'll come back

[wind hazel]

lol currently we only have like ~4% of loading screens from the game

27 out of 550++

[desert tapir]

Sorry to bother you. I'm at work in the break room and can't get the weapons guide to load on my phone in a hurry . What's a step up from the quad boffers I can supply a squad of four in a hurry . Doing complete x missions with specified characters and want to see if I can skip having to move goood gear around

[ivory pawn]

AA guns? Just throw on whatever leveled gold AA guns you have tbh.

But lemme do you one better.

[desert tapir]

You rock

[ivory pawn]

It's not on the image, but 4th best is literally every other gold AA gun, so my initial advice still works too.

[desert tapir]

....wait did the fix the cone fire aa guns?

[ivory pawn]

Probably don't use those.

[sweet delta]

There have been 550++ loading screens?

[still merlin]

Speaking of AA guns, I heard that some are prefer certain guns such as low AA (like some DDs) might prefer low cd gun to boost up the overall fire rate (?)

[viscid swift]

Old thinking that has since been discarded as obsolete.

[sweet merlin]

who is gettinr replaced by the new ur?

[wind hazel]

according to wiki yes

[wanton stone]

uvh

uvh shouldve been replaced a long time ago

[ivory pawn]

I'd stick her in Alsace's spot and move Alsace elsewhere personally, though definitely not necessary.

[sweet delta]

Ships with bad AA may accept fast reload AA guns more than ships with good AA, but ships with bad AA still prefer good non-rainbow high range AA guns over comparable good non-rainbow fast AA guns

[still merlin]

how much AA is consider bad?
<200 ?

[sweet merlin]

AA is a myth unless W13+

[ivory pawn]

Depends on AA + slot efficiency + # of AA mounts. I'd just go to Regal and sort by AA and see who has a higher number pop up. Easier that way.

[still merlin]

we're mostly talk about AA related when it come to W13+, no ? (except W14, prob?)

[desert tapir]

So greater coverage is more important than more windows to fire?

[ivory pawn]

If they have no number, then they have bad AA.

[desert tapir]

So greater coverage is more important than more windows to fire?

[still merlin]

if a ship have AA stat but no AA gun slot, what would happen?
does the AA from that ship only serve as dmg reduce from aircraft (onto that ship)?

[wind hazel]

they are both important. you want to find the balance for your fleet. you have 6 ships to consider in a fleet, AA is shared among them

[ivory pawn]

AA stat also influences how much damage from aircraft you take, and can lower the amount of AVI you need for Airspace Control.

[sweet delta]

Yes, greater coverage provides more windows to fire too

[desert tapir]

Sorry the atrocious cell service at work made things hard to fallow. I was not sure which process was "old" and discarded. Yes my mob fleet has a mix of Range Spec, Damage Spec, and Reload Spec AA guns because it is averaged.

[desert tapir]

Thanks as always sushi. Funny thing my side still shows the message you responded to as unsent.

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

[warm linden]

Wishing Well Construction is currently up so that's a good way to get some UR's that're great even for beginners

^scam

[ivory pawn]

Please don't use WW to pull for URs.

Hell, until you have the currently available UR on the Event banner (Gotz), don't touch WW at all.

[hoary relic]

unless u have more than 400 cubes and already got berli, then dont touch wishing well

[warm linden]

🤣 right it's a selector but pull rates are still pull rates

[still merlin]

WW to pull for UR is a waste, rather get a yellow ship since there's no pity for yellow ship
I'd prefer use that to finish off my collection

[prisma torrent]

whats the maximum amount of cubes can one gather in one day

[hoary relic]

5 iirc

[wind hazel]

i dont think anyone can answer that

usually 6 for me
but if you're lucky enough in commissions it'd bbe more
