you just gotta get rid of all the main fleets while you have ammo
leave recon/aviation for 0 ammoing
that's the idea. red with ammo, yellow without.
Or, only do the full clear when there aren't many main fleets
you don't have to full clear immediately
yeah, that too
if you're focused on getting honolewd/st lewd/jintsuu no reason to 3 star
just bide your time for a good setup
Like, if 6 red BB fleets spawn in, go "fck this sht I'm out"
Okay, what strategy did you guys use to take out boss fleet on 10-1.
you should be avoiding red fleets altogether unless they're blocking boss
Hood defintiely doesn't seem like she can handle the train.
Yeah, you need a CL AP gun to not have to worry about it
Hood might work, but needs your frontline to help out
I ran HMS with Warspite QE and Ark backline, worked out okay
w10 evade rates are trolling me
to be honest alot of world 10 bosses is you torpspamming the boss
Wars+QE def. handles the train, and yes, Ark is great for nuking
still on 10-3
Synd, I'm disappoint
you were going on abou thow you're gonna get jintsuu and wake up just to be up for when maint is done 
I spent wayy to long in 10-1 trying to not have to use lv 100s ๐
meanwhile I've done 10-2 farming for lulu
It was...futile
and am about to go into 10-4
i did wake up at maint end
You did run Fire Extinguisher on both Mob and Boss fleets right.
who?
if anyone has some decent advice for optimizing 10-4 (not 10-3 or lower), feel free to share
rubi.
Not for boss, right? FEs?
I didnt run extinguishers on boss fleet
i dont have FEs on anyone 
Yeah, same, just tanked through it all
10-3 boss has 2 battleships spawn in the back
and they can eat through your backline in seconds

Just cancel shots with CVs?
Well, you could
but then you won't be able to cancel yukikaze's torp spam 
honestly it's kind of a choose your poison deal
do you tank the battleships, or do you tank the torps
actually, eld would propably do well for the boss, yea
I might drop her in for 10-4
mmm, problem is procing her
torp spam and BBs huh
if she eats a torp it's quite painful
You need a BB with a CL AP gun specifically?
propably put her in the back and then turn your fleet around for the peashooter shells
To kill the train on 10-1 alone, yes
Why phoenix not in front?
this run was less than ideal
propably would've swapped uni and enty places personally
lusty should be enough on her own for boss, having both her and uni's kinda overkill
Healers on boss battles in general is questionable
although your vanguard's power looks really ehh
It really is. I'm not entirely sure why.
Gunboats have low power for effectiveness as well
I mean, Helena's still good for the armor debuff
Since the game doesn't properly take into account MGM+1
but you propably wanna torpsquad it up for the bosses
Only recently managed MLB Minne and Washi.
alot of your dmg's gonna come from torp spamming when helena procs her buff
Minnie in boss battles is also questionable, if there's not enough stuff to proc her skill
This what I've been throwing at 10-3
would've done sodak+wash instead of qe and warspite
but I didnt even redeem my tirp yet os I need a ship for trashclearing 
hm
and Nelson's been going through hard times
Hm, not sure Wash+Sodak would be better TBH
i should add wash back to boss fleet
synd is alive?
actually boss fleet woulda been fine if evade didnt troll me
well both are almost 10 skill on all for me
so as long as sodak procs she can land some nice dmg
Yeahm but you can't rely on the proc
- it'll help keeping them alive
and PvE you want consistency
Its so low % that even in a 2 min boss battle running 410s you can't expect it to always proc at least once
DC spoiled me on no ambushes 
Normal maps now piss me off
wonder if i should run wadak 
is tirpitz worth using in world 10? been building her passively
some say she's good for mobs
was thinking tirpitz + akashi + TBD for one backline
for mob fleet
oh yea, 3c posted a vid on chapter 10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkXiXUy6DS8
Chapter 10 is finally here! Honolulu here I come. #AzurLane My Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/just3c My video sponsors: Kenneth, Kestrel, Dat Vu, Kaji...
She seems like she'd be great for mobs, especially at 0 ammo
so if you guys want some reference material, here it is
I was using that for sure.
that's relieving, good thing i have tirp's first skill at 10 already
Shark sisters?
not sure if i want to spend books on her magtorp skill though
scharn and gnei
^
if you use her in mob fleets, i can see her torps being useful
Well, if you want to for waifu/completion purposes, though I fail to see how'd they be good if that's what you're after
enterprise + two BBs huh...
1 sec gun at 150% eff sounds scary
but might not be as much of an issue as I think
Shirou is that you
I'm thinking of putting Hood up for trash killing, see how she fills in for Wash
and then drop Wash and Sodak in boss comp 
i should lv an ise

i wonder if my yama and tirp can do 10-4 mobs decent enough
or maybe i should do cv cv bb
oh, I need 2 more trash kills to 3* 10-3
oh so there's already been first run luccsaccers in troph room
might as well do it now before I start messing with the setup
yeah there's already been jintsuu drops
imagine that 
also, anyone posting "we did it bois" as a message on any new ship
should get danned perma

every freaking new ship there's one
I'm more suprised by full 3* of w10
like how did they do that 
There is problems with just beat the boss =_=

as long as you throw a heavy enough trashmob fleet, they can go around even with 0 ammo
and just push through by the sheer overdps
this is how i did it
that's the other thing, you can just go in and see what the initial fleets are
and if you see too many large mains, retreat
and reroll
true #pvp strategy )
yeah, but you always lose a little oil when you exit
oboi, rainbow eagle box 
but that vs losing more cause you coudlnt 3*?
@stuck copper did you 3* all w10?
Alrighty guys, 3rd Try at clearing 10-1.
yes
Wish me luck.
2 cvs?
steam cata
as your mob or boss?
what makes me sad
is that even with the 3* gems
I'm about 100 short of yama skin
DAMN.

Did you collect 100 gems from mail?
dam
aquan needs another set of apologems
twin 150 tbtsk
those 50 gems per 3-star didnt feel very rewarding lol
also, Synd
how can one person have both shit taste and good taste is beyond me 
The way you talked about honolulu I was expecting hipper levels of tsun
Meanwhile, her tsun level is at like 3
in fact she has a surprisingly likeable personality 
Okay, so this might sound dumb.
But I have that gun.
But my Washi can't equip it.
yeah, bc and american bb have to deal with dd guns
not the worst thing ever, but it does make it harder on them to fend off suicide boats at later stages
Wdym, my hood can't equip this gun either.


I wonder why 
what could possibly be the reason hood can't equip cl guns 
I misread that.
I thought you said BC and American BB COULD use it.
I'm tired of running this map too much. 
My eyes feel like they're on fire.
So it can't be helped that I misread that.
welp, time to see how bad 10-4's gonn be
jints first run

great start 
that looks about right
lel
i think lvl1 main fleets dont have any BBs, but maybe i just didnt notice
i expected one, but it didnt pop up
lvl3 BBs are the worst. you kill the BB and two more pop up lol
you should be fine on trash killing if you've taken good care of your tirp
dunno how your boss chances are tho 
so 2 cvs 1 bb is fine for 10-4?
i was just gonna run good ol fashioned
hyuuga wash enty
I'm guessing it'll work
depending on your vanguard
and how good you are at manual dodging

its literally never failed me 
cause you sure as hell ain't gonna autobattle your way
i wont judge something i havent tried, sorry
i should put wash back on boss fleet already
best I could do in terms of autobattle was about 50% chance to S rank 10-2 boss
no way i am ever
and even then it was heavily dependant on torp eva

not like that's an option anyway lol
the torp spam's gonna rek your vanguard even with torp bulges
unless you were to get god tier rng with eldridge
also
Hood's doing surprising.ly well as Wash's replacement

they really dont want me to go there
oh, the boss can spawn in top left
yes
that is top tier troll
maybe i should swap for minne already
things were going well
minnie is really good
then I wondered "why is my hood getting healed by Vestal's proc after 2nd battle"
Oh that's right I forgot the extinguisher 
had some good results with her.
i'd use her, but she's more expensive than what i already have
if you have her maxed and geared, go for it
or any
lv 2 cruiser fleet
lv 1 bb fleet
RNG
is clearly being nice atm
after i nearly sank takao
Hmm, nodes seem to mostly just hit the flagship.
I wonder if I can add 0LB shouhou meme to shore up my mob fleet?
my uni's been constally dropping low on 10-3
which is to be fair a welcome change from 9-3
where they always sniped my vestal
I never even bothered getting my ARs and shouhou and unicorn to 100 lel
i could use my vestal
They seem to only hit flagship and bottom slot, from my experience
they all resting mlb somewhere without being L100 
did 4 fights, only my flagship got hit so far, yeah
jesus fuck
I lost 2/3 hp on Hood
from just 1 bb salvo on large main

not even from fires, just from shelling alone
Yeah, those are brutal, you need to cancel those in many cases
fuck
yep, think it's time for manual
or RNG your way out of it
mob fleet got ambushed
lv 3 cruiser fleet
recon 136 
oh come on game
I just canceled kongou's shelling
and then immediately after haruna spawns

k boss time

sounds like smooth sailing
ok, let's see if my fleet can handle Jintsuu
๐
NO
fuck I almost S ranked

vanguard not tanky enough
hows the mob fleets
cancerous
you have to use your healer carrier to nullify bb shellings
otherwise your backline can just randomly lose 2/3 of its hp
i dont have a healer cv
no unicorn or shouhou?
no
oof
why would i?
then use any carrier that can launch quick
you gotta make sure that you dont get bombarded on the backline, cause even with fire extinguishers your hp will just melt
well yea, but on 10-4 they're lvl 101 
which means they actually get dmg bonus against you now
Crap, top slot 0LB doesn't work
they're the same mob fleets, just a little stronger
but if i just did what i di before
bottom slot takes too much damage to have a healer there
then ill be gucci?
probably
as long as you pay attention
i have a lv 42 uni
maybe ill lv her 
well i use kaga with her skill maxed so her initial strike should be fine
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
if not then i guess im not getting Jintsuu
so far so good
didnt pop any repairs yet
and just as I said it, ambush failed 
this is still doable but now I gotta do 1 more battle on 0 ammo
i am just surprise that there not much jintsuu trophy in #trophy-room
most of the time the place would be full of new ship by now
fml
the bb shelling 
y u do dis game
I mean fk it, I guess I'm gonna have to use myboss comp to kill one of those mains
maybe i'll lv vestal and uni
I'm going for the 3* requirement tho
i would have cleared that G row instead. it's nice and easy, and it blocks a spawn location
ah, i see
nevermind me then. sorry.
then that makes sense, of course
well fuck it, now I have to 0 ammo this

you know I wish the game was as generous with them low % rolls in gacha
as it was with ambushes

i have 91%, and i still got an ambush lol
Bleh
it really stings when your boss fleet gets ambushed. you need all the health you can get
stings even more when it's over 80%
at minimum I could wait a month for Jintsuu 
speaking of the devil, just got ambushed lmao
I dont know how I got out of this as good as I did
but now I have to fight 4 medium fleets on 0 ammo 
on the + side if Uni gets bonked it's not the end
at least until main fleets die
I can deal with recons without a healer
but if I dont have her for the main fleets, Hood'll just get pummeled by the bb shelling
oof
I dont think i was this tense playing this game since Cranes event
when I still was lacking in levelled ships so I had to tiptoe my way through D4
i just want jinstuu 
gl
i hope you dont die to jintsuu
oh that would suck ass
if I went through all this and then just didnt pay attention and died on jintsuu

here's a fun thing, look at minnie's hp earlier
and look now
Seems balanced 
ok, can confirm
sodak wash enty backline pretty stronk
was thinking that
i use akaga hood and spam everything on cooldown

the vanguard's having a hard time tanking dmg
built for offense
but the backline makes short work of her
in a way this is kinda like the EX battles
you gotta stay within the shelling spam and make sure you avoid torps
as long as you dodge the lasers and the torps, you're good
yeah, most of my damage was from pre-boss stuff
congrats, btw
so 10-3 or 10-4 in difficulty
honestly, 10-3 boss is kind of, sort of tougher
because of the bb spam
10-4's tougher if you're not good at manual tho
jintsuu is alone?
10-4 is not as much of a dps race
yeah, she's solo with like 1-2 suicide botes from time to time
you get a couple boats, but that's about it
Oh. Ez.
which is a non-issue when you run 2 bbs in back
my problem was a lack of speed. my vanguard was so slow, it was difficult to dodge the bullets
might give a difficulty
my vanguard is fine at speed
the large fleet spam
and getting jebaited by having boss spawn in the corner you didnt clear
if its lv 2 to start with
then i should be fine?
basically ignore lv 3 fleets if possible

Feeling a little more confident
You can always post your fleet y'know 
I did a few days ago
few days ago 10-4 wasn't exactly a priority issue 
yes. they're laughably easy. definitely save them for 0 ammo
gotta say tho, overall
having lotta fun with chapter 10

it's challenging but not bullshit
if you know what you're doing, it's easily manageable
once you figure it out, it's not so bad, right?
tfw you didnt notice mutsu spawn
oh yea, mutsu and nagato are assholes
cause they do 3 shellings instead of 2 like bongos
so unless you saved up on 2 carrier charges you are getting hit most likely by at least 1 
you probably got better
once you start picking up on the spawn patterns
it's easier to figure out when to use the skills
so you dont end up spamming away just as a random nagamutsu pops in to rain napalm on you 
if the alternative to not getting jintsuu is getting a different elite I propably rather not 
it's bad enough she's a boss-only drop, getting rando elites on boss would just add insult to injury
okay, oil says no. that's it for tonight.
i have 2k left
3 red Cruisers

i might put helena on boss fleet
and belfast on mob fleet
how worth do you think SKKs skill is. was thinking about my second CV for 10-4
is SKK going to boss or mobs?
she might work, but the problem is while you're saving up your airstrike to clear the bb shelling, you're missing out on her buffs inb4 that
so it's kind of a waste of buff
yeah ok, no dice Maury, I'm not stepping on that minefield 
how's your oil holding up synd

oh, nice. gz
you know, I stand corrected
would post trophy here but you know the rules
Hood's still got it in her 

should i bother putting FEs on mob fleet?
in fact she might be handling mob fleets even better than wash did
definitely Synd
on each ship?
well, at the very least you'll want it on backline and DDs
should i run toolbox and FE?
but yea preferably you'll propably want your entire mob fleet to run around with FEs
I run toolbox and FE on Minnie, Fortune and Vestal
Phoenix runs beaver badge and FE
Hood carries the SG radar
so she has a chance to dodge a shell once in a while 
i dont have healing 
but you do have a repair ship at least no?
No?
...
APM?
actions per minute
i mean ive been fine in w10 so far without it
also idk what that is
i do have bestal sitting around
but i havent ever used her
i think anything is better than that lol
I mean, your chances aren't a 0 so 
i mean is the jump in damage from 10-3 mobs to 10-4 mobs that extreme?
but it's definitly gonna be tricky to run 10-4 with 0 healing whatsoever
well, you go from having a small dmg boost/dmg reduction for yourself
to giving one to the enemy
isnt that assuming
and the rate of red boats seems to be higher
my entire fleet is 100?
pretty much yea

guess i quit here
I believe in you
just give it a try. it might not be that bad
I can squeeze one more run
but I still haven't done HM today 
so that might be a bad idea
I've burned through about 12k total or more
but then again I did spend some farming honolulu 
sounds about right
so much oil... i'm left with 2.4k :x
I'm down to 1k so this is my last run of the day 
next 3 days're gonna be stockpiling
i hope i am able to do 10-4
doubtful tho
if i turn out really good at jintsuu
maybe i can also use boss fleet to clear anode or two
xD
yeah, once you master the pattern, you can easily get by
in all honesty I had more damage being taken from the pre-boss stuff
than from jintsuu herself

once you figure out her attacks and get the timing right on your skills, it's just a matter of time
ambush
if i fight this, itll be a medium BB at 0 ammo
if i use boss fleet they will have like 98% hp against boss

nothing for it 
ill have to use boss fleet
medium cv or bb
i actually prefer BBs
dealing with haruna is easy
LOL
ENTY
2x lucky E proc
Me: stop. she's already dead
i need S rank on boss for jintsuu drop rite?
uhh... I dont think S rank is the absolute requirement for specific drops
it just makes it so you DO get a drop guaranteed
at least I think I remember people saying they got akaga on A ranks
you have a chance to get a ship drop, but s rank makes that chance 100%, so yes and no
Event HM
what mode do you all use for world10? auto or manual?
AA req
definitely manual
Auto ftw
auto for some
for large fleets I go manual
and sometimes I take over for like 3-4 seconds to make sure my airstrike nulls bongo class shelling
my strategy relies on proper timing. i can't auto.
BB pops up, blast it with three torps
hood for mobs? or boss?
I ran her for mobs
used Wash with Sodak on boss
things were gucci for the most part ๐
im just gonna run tirp for mobs
i use hood on boss, to help with potential reload procs
washi on mobs, because that barrage is nice
my washington's barrage level isn't high :x
this is how i handle medium BBs
haruna spawns
AIR STRIKE AIR STRIKE BB VOLLEY
ded
haha
I need graf to reduce the damage taken by my z-fleet ><
are you doing 10-4 now synd?
rip
rip :x
like an idiot
i defeated nagato
but zuikaku air raided and killed her, or fire killed her
idk
LOL
well that went better than expected
i forgot how great Tirp is 
.

And no, im still on my last run of 10-3
oh 
i swear my E hates lolis
any time i use her against a loli, (sirens, nagato, whatever) she never fails to proc lucky E
wat. i didnt have a nelson?
red bb, red bb, or red bb
what do i pick

All of them
all 3



the best kind of ambush
i try to be smart by placing my mob fleet next to the boss node, but then i just get ambushed before the mob fleet 
it feels like there's some weird AI at work that is solely programmed to screw you over 
Playing 9-4 because I haven't cleared it before. Shit I forgot boss fights are hard in W9 
0:01
Cleve is like 2% from ded
time for the good stuff
10-4


congratulations
ran into 3 different stall comps during that top10 rush just now

btw synd, not sure if you knew that
but if you put your fleet on a tile where a non-boss fleet can spawn
it'll prevent it from spawning on that tile
only if it's a boss fleet
cause that has to spawn for obvious reasons
but if it's just a mob fleet, you can block it from spawning
I use that all the time 
well, rather than block it from spawning, it'll just spawn it elsewhere


the rice fields never end
does that mean what i think that means?
I spent most of my cruiser stuff on furukako 
so I need to bring that up
and no, if you think I'm doing it because I just got jintsuu, I didn't
I only got oil left for hard mode today 
If I saw a bunch of BB nodes at chokes at start, I'd just spend 10 oil to reset :P
Though, nice recovery!
bb nodes are nice
i find them easy
@wintry sonnet There is no way
im getting her first run
with this amount of gracious luck from RNG

3 easy nodes?
funny how much farming can affect your perception of time lol
cause between 3-4, 7-3 and now 10-4 it seems like I've done a fuckton of stuff

can't have you just get the waifu and be done
10-4 wants to spend more time with you
i still need to finish chapter 9 lmao
hmm
been running unicorn arizona
for moderate success
percentage heal
each time the thing procs on prinz
boi
- 650HP
no
see
i had fleets
emphasis on had
because i don't remember what the comps were
i underestimated world 10
so synd how's Jintsuu farming
10-1 10-2 were alright
10-3 was most annoying
that boss is
ugh
on top of the mob fleets

@toxic scroll terrible
3 runs and no Jin

if you're expecting early Jin
you're gonna go weeks without seeing her because of it
cant help it 
10-4 is a pain
boss node is ezpz
but getting to it is...
whew
hardest thing ive done in the game

it was a bad one
no
its a good one
especially 10-4
those BBs gonna murder your backline
i run 2cvs in 10-4
for mobs
and 2 bbs for boss
i regret not leveling my cassin and downes
hmm
all i got is phoenix
I did use 2 bbs
running prinz unicorn arizona atm
prinz turned out to be SUPER useful
because of her monstrous HP
these are the potentials
have you tried w10 yet 
I'm at 10-2
i havent seen any trash fleet that wasnt 3-3
wash prinz arizona unicorn
oh
you're gonna lose level advantage lmao
no way to clear the BB vollies tho
each time arizona procs
prinz get healed by 650 hp
in fact i'm clearing trash with 0 ammo
atm
if you need to worry about prinz being healed is kinda bad
10-3 is where it feels kinda sketch
probably
i did 3:3 the entire time but i didnt have any desire to drop it any lower
but i could see doing 10-2 with that
and then 10-4 idk bout that at all

so close
yet so far

they must release the cap before w11
because in w11 its like fireships galore
