Hoping for something Avrora considering AL came out around that time.

[vital edge]

I still don't understand themed onaholes.

[stuck copper]

[ornate mantle]

LUL

[stuck copper]

im rocking a prinz charm on my backpack along with a gudatama thing

[solar fjord]

[stuck copper]

oh noes

[vital edge]

you could remove the hook part and replace it with a regular key ring

[stuck copper]

shhhhh

[vital edge]

just grab some bolt cutters and slide in the replacement

[carmine coyote]

That is possible and could work

[vital edge]

those key hooks were always terrible

once the spring breaks, it's unusable :l

[solar fjord]

but im lazy and i have over 10 keyrings from gachapon

spent like $50 to try and You-chan from love live sunshine on different gachapon

[vital edge]

then hook them all to your keys and see which ones survive a day at work

Natural selection, amirite?

[solar fjord]

[stuck copper]

lmao

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[ornate mantle]

THERE. WE. GO.

[tough burrow]

[stuck copper]

[tough burrow]

wow

[ornate mantle]

OP

Congrats Bill.

[stuck copper]

this is like the sixth time ive seen "expand or sort your dock"

[warm bluff]

i'm at 80% for roon 1mil, maybe i should try and get it done as well

[ornate mantle]

LOL.

Makes me wanna expand to 400 right now.

[solar fjord]

@warm bluff yee you can do it

[tough burrow]

I gave up on roon, it's too painful leveling shitty KMS CAs AND Monarch at the same time

[ornate mantle]

@warm bluff : Ohhhhh, you finished Monarch?

[solar fjord]

easy grind

[warm bluff]

yup! the last push with monarch was pain, took me down to 4k oil

[ornate mantle]

LUL

[stuck copper]

my biggest regret is being a lazy bitch and not getting spee

[ornate mantle]

I can relate.

Oh, I can relate with Luna... not Lila.

[solar fjord]

the push on saint had me buying some oil

[ornate mantle]

I got Spee.

[solar fjord]

spent 50gems to finish it

[stuck copper]

i want her so bad

[warm bluff]

this is my roon farm fleet

[stuck copper]

what was i thinking

[warm bluff]

zeppy is important for moral support

[ornate mantle]

My roon farm fleet would be that except middle would be Prinz I think.

rather, Move Karl to far Right, Prinz to fa Left, Dutchy to Middle.

[solar fjord]

i had mumma zepp in there but went back to Akashi

[ornate mantle]

Ahhhhhh, I gotta level my Akashi.

But I'd put Vestal for Solo Backline.

[warm bluff]

i started with vestal, but i decided to go zeppy because might as well

[ornate mantle]

To get her that sweet 2.3 Mil EXP.

[stuck copper]

vestal epic nurse

[ornate mantle]

LUL

[stuck copper]

nurse it hurts down there

[ornate mantle]

Rodney and Vestal are going to be my first 120s I think.

[warm bluff]

zeppy is great, she can protecc herself from suicide botes while not stealing mvp

[solar fjord]

[stuck copper]

[ornate mantle]

I'm def not spending gems on oil.

Not worth.

[solar fjord]

when ya wanna finish the grind it is

[steep scarab]

[stuck copper]

oh man i am in immediate need of 4 rings

Should I move this stuff to Yukikaze

and/or eldridge

[solar fjord]

Yuki the great demands it

[ornate mantle]

Eldridge is cuter.

[steep scarab]

@stuck copper move everything

except the gun

yuki uses 76mm

unless you're like me and OCD about golds and purples, then 100mm gun

[ornate mantle]

Only the highest rarity stuff for my girls.

[stuck copper]

76mm?

[ornate mantle]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Single_76mm_(3″/50_caliber_gun)#Type_3

[stuck copper]

do i not use the outlet gun

[ornate mantle]

The Blue BB gun.

[stuck copper]

how come tho

[ornate mantle]

Fastest Fire Rate.

For if you want the skills to proc as much as possible.

[stuck copper]

[stuck copper]

[pearl abyss]

I hope new ui don't drop with events

I would like some time

To get accustomed to it

[ornate mantle]

Nah.

[stuck copper]

[ornate mantle]

If their gonna do it all.

Let's go all out.

Every event we don't have at the same time.

[pearl abyss]

[ornate mantle]

As New UI drop.

[stuck copper]

the new UI probably takes like

not that long to get used to

[pearl abyss]

Like a few days

I mean, if you drop it with a new event

There's bound to be confusion

[ornate mantle]

I'm ay 1.6k Oil now.

[stuck copper]

depends on what it takes its model from

[pearl abyss]

Some tabs are changed quite a lot

From the old format iirc

[stuck copper]

if its anything like granblue's UI then im dropping the game

[pearl abyss]

There's video previews pinned in #gameplay-help

[ornate mantle]

I love that first Pin in Help.

It's such a problem in other official servers and seeing it be addressed makes me happy for new players.

[stuck copper]

lol

[dense wing]

I just dont want people rioting in the feedback channels

[stuck copper]

[dim crystal]

gamenews KappaPride

[stuck copper]

wow thanks game

83% chance to avoid

17% chance to engage

guess what it does

[dim crystal]

avoid

[stuck copper]

it plays bohemian rhapsody

and then engages because lady luck is a cuck that likes to fuck ducks

[solar fjord]

real reason why the UI was delayed https://puu.sh/DsujF/d34d8effb7.png

[ornate mantle]

What happens in #al-general

[stuck copper]

lmfao

[ornate mantle]

[stuck copper]

what the heck?

[solar fjord]

just the usual in general

[stuck copper]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ornate mantle]

degeneral*

[stuck copper]

tfw 90% of the damage i take in AL is because the AI cant stop ramming into ships

you'd think it would learn by now

[lone sinew]

they learn from glowworm

[stuck copper]

AI is not the sharpest tool in the shed sadly

if you are so concerned about ramming then field Glowworm

[ornate mantle]

Just get GW to 110.

[stuck copper]

i would but i dont like her art

[ornate mantle]

Then.

Start liking her art.

[stuck copper]

[toxic scroll]

[stuck copper]

waiting for the post-WWII era update that adds nuclear torps and stuff

[steep scarab]

[stuck copper]

what is a land torpedo?

[ornate mantle]

A torpedo that goes through land.

[steep scarab]

a self propelling underground weapon

[vital edge]

a torpedo that hits the ground first and then starts plowing through the earth and concrete

[stuck copper]

nani the heck?

[vital edge]

then blows up conveniently when it's near the target

[stuck copper]

can we get WWI era planes that drop sharpened darts

[steep scarab]

[vital edge]

What is this? Bloons TD?

[steep scarab]

can we get rocket planes?

[vital edge]

Oh god, rocket planes

[ornate mantle]

Waiting for the SR-71 Blackbird update.

[clear gate]

We've tried that before

[stuck copper]

go to WOWS then

[ornate mantle]

I just realized.

[stuck copper]

WOWS doesnt have hot anime girls

[clear gate]

Rocket planes don't really work for practical stuff

:3

[vital edge]

No thanks, that's why I wasn't too fond of WoWS

[ornate mantle]

When are we gonna get Anthropomorphized Rocket girls.

[stuck copper]

@stuck copper: WOWS does have female commander

oho

[steep scarab]

female shikikan

[dense wing]

and anime commanders

[steep scarab]

@dense wing kawa

Buildable Sirens Please.

I need Chaos Cubes.

[vital edge]

Can we get Purifier yet?

[warm bluff]

i want the jellyfish siren

@ornate mantle inb4 use chaos cubes to retrofit javelin alter

i want to do things to the sirens

[vital edge]

[ornate mantle]

@steep scarab : Honestly, that doesn't sound bad. All Alter ships require Chaos Cubes.

[stuck copper]

30s for each Yamato cannon

[clear gate]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_X-15 this is also rocket-powered, but it's a research craft

[ornate mantle]

Rocket Powered Submarines.

[steep scarab]

how would that even work?

[stuck copper]

Nuclear-powered submarines

[clear gate]

Those exist

[ornate mantle]

It's a Submarine.

In Space.

[stuck copper]

[vital edge]

imagine having a nitrous option on submarines.

[clear gate]

Nuclear submarines are seriously a thing

[stuck copper]

throwback to when that one Soviet submarine almost caused WWIII

[ornate mantle]

Idk I'm just saying stupid shit that sounds funny.

[steep scarab]

nuclear subs yes

they're a thing

[vital edge]

Yeah, the Russians made them popular

what about rocket propelled subs?

[ornate mantle]

Honestly I'm never gonna stop laughing at Land Torpedoes.

[steep scarab]

make AL subs useful again

[stuck copper]

Project 66 and Stalingrad when

[ornate mantle]

The mental image is too funny for me.

[stuck copper]

lol

or maybe Kronstandt?

[steep scarab]

inb4 air torpedoes

[clear gate]

Missiles

[ornate mantle]

You mean Missiles.

[stuck copper]

no

air torpedoes

[ornate mantle]

My bad.

[clear gate]

Only the Japanese in WWII would come up with this shit

[stuck copper]

those kaitens are disgusting

[ornate mantle]

What the shit.

[stuck copper]

bruh

[clear gate]

They also made a dedicated kamikaze plane

[ornate mantle]

A suicide torpedo isn't what I had in mind.

[stuck copper]

btw, AL still doesn't have Kitakami and Ooi

[steep scarab]

we need a torpedo torpedo

[stuck copper]

Kitakami was modified to launch kaitens

85% for Monarch

[ornate mantle]

@steep scarab

That's brilliant.

[vital edge]

imagine imagined torpedo that fragments into other torpedoes after collision

[steep scarab]

torpedoception

[clear gate]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yokosuka_MXY-7_Ohka yep this was a thing

And just when you thought that kamikaze couldn't get worse

[ornate mantle]

How about a torpedo that fights other torpedoes.

[stuck copper]

United States sailors gave the aircraft the nickname Baka (バカ, "fool" or "idiot")

speaking of those kamikaze planes, I don't think they can sink the aircraft carrier

heavily damage them at most

[clear gate]

At best the idea was stupid

[stuck copper]

tfw you threw away all your best pilots

[ornate mantle]

At worst the idea was fucking stupid

The idea is at its best when it was being the worst idea.

[stuck copper]

[ornate mantle]

I do.

[steep scarab]

hi shimarin

[clear gate]

Niizuki lets you fluff her tail

[stuck copper]

eldridge can help me give electrostatic therapy

[clear gate]

Keep her away from sensitive electronics

[stuck copper]

no biggie

ill just get the FBI's data servers and bring her there

[clear gate]

If shipgirls were real, Eldridge would likely be one of the most hazardous

P:

[stuck copper]

its a risk im willing to make

[clear gate]

Yamashiro would also be hazardous but for unrelated reasons

[stuck copper]

"Everyone, goo~! Hawawa, I accidentally fired my main gun!"

[clear gate]

"Commander, did you see my torpedo?...It just suddenly shot out for some reason..."

[verbal obsidian]

is it possible to 3:1 9-2

trying to get izumo

[clear gate]

Should be very possible

[dim crystal]

it is possible to 1-1 9-4

[verbal obsidian]

but i need a tanky frontline

[dim crystal]

[stuck copper]

rip izumo

just use yukikaze idk

[clear gate]

Just use Phoenix

or Neptune

[ornate mantle]

I’m doing 10-2 with this.

[stuck copper]

phoenix more like can she shut the fuck up-

[verbal obsidian]

wow thats funny

i dont have one

and phoenix trash

[dim crystal]

52 oil

[verbal obsidian]

so shes lvl 70

[dim crystal]

holy shitr

[verbal obsidian]

[stuck copper]

52 oil weak

[ornate mantle]

I don't mind.

Phoenix is standard on my solo frontliner fleets

i just dont find her waifu tear

[dim crystal]

[clear gate]

Effective up to 11-4 guaranteed

[verbal obsidian]

[stuck copper]

should i start using minneapolish instead

[ornate mantle]

I'm not in a rush trying to optimize like I was with Ibuki.

[verbal obsidian]

ah yes porkland is tanky

[ornate mantle]

@verbal obsidian It's very possible.

if you want a fleet I can recommend one.

[verbal obsidian]

just trying to see different combos

[ornate mantle]

Just send me your dock and I can give it a look.

[stuck copper]

62 oil

[verbal obsidian]

im usually not oil mindful but

[ornate mantle]

And see what ships can do it.

[verbal obsidian]

i may have used too much for ibuki

[ornate mantle]

I was oil efficient for Ibuki.

For Monarch I'm taking it as a "Grind + Farm + Do other things" type of PR journey.

As opposed to Ibuki where I was purely doing my max in gaining a solid EXP/OIL ratio.

[stuck copper]

oil efficiency lul

[ornate mantle]

And that was it.

[clear gate]

Speaking of oil, what happened to mine

[ornate mantle]

@verbal obsidian : Who are you farming?

[verbal obsidian]

for izumo

[ornate mantle]

Oh that's easy.

[verbal obsidian]

on 9-2

cause radkins

pepega

[stuck copper]

nagato amagi and uh

[ornate mantle]

She has a lot of good options.

[clear gate]

Frontline though

[verbal obsidian]

i have so many options

[clear gate]

Phoenix

[verbal obsidian]

P:

[verbal obsidian]

pepega

[ornate mantle]

Uhhhhh, how far do you wanna go.

[verbal obsidian]

[clear gate]

Minneapolis

[stuck copper]

use minneapolis

[clear gate]

Maybe Cassin even

or Downes

[verbal obsidian]

minne is 70

phoenix is 70

[clear gate]

That sounds like a you problem :3

[verbal obsidian]

[ornate mantle]

LUL, it'd be easier if I knew what you had.

[stuck copper]

unbound cassin and downes or smth

[verbal obsidian]

its ok

[ornate mantle]

Do you have... Cygnet Retro and at a high level?

Or Yukikaze?

[verbal obsidian]

ive come up with the perfect combo

[ornate mantle]

At a high level?

If you have one of those two you get some extra Ambush Evasion.

And because of high Luck some reliable solo DD frontliners.

Cygnet is also tanky enough that she can handle up to world 9.

As a solo.

[clear gate]

Or you can do the "I will kill you all before you can kill me route"

Laffey

[ornate mantle]

I think Yuki can do up to W10.

[stuck copper]

i wish i had

[ornate mantle]

I mean.

[stuck copper]

but i dont want to bother with javelin

[ornate mantle]

Laffey getting EXP for Izumo is Pepega.

[clear gate]

Aya is not very fun for solo frontline in my personal experience

[ornate mantle]

Aya is too squishy immo.

[stuck copper]

well not for solo but torp nuking sounds fun

[clear gate]

Also her DPS is too unsteady

[stuck copper]

and she has like a billion skins

[ornate mantle]

Z23, Cygnet, and Yukikaze are your best bets for tanky frontliner solo DDs.

[clear gate]

You're just waiting for torps to recharge

[stuck copper]

Z23 is tanky?

[ornate mantle]

Yeah, one of the highest HP for DDs iirc.

Idk about her luck stat though.

[stuck copper]

it comes from her oppai

[clear gate]

I would actually suggest Javelin if you bothered

[ornate mantle]

Should be good.

Does Javelin have high survivability in solo?

I've never used her.

[clear gate]

Best evasion and good luck

[ornate mantle]

Yeah that sounds helpful.

[clear gate]

I've had considerable success with Jav

[stuck copper]

too bad its javelin

[ornate mantle]

Especially when you're just wanting her to survive.

[clear gate]

Her DPS isn't bad either, it's certainly weaker than the other starters but still beats out most other DDs

[verbal obsidian]

ok time to play test

my meme squad is ready

[clear gate]

Honestly though, this is w9. w9 isn't that bad if you're just leveled up a ton

[verbal obsidian]

so i wanted to be level efficient as well

[ornate mantle]

Does BBV work toward Izumo EXP?

[stuck copper]

efficiency is overrated

[verbal obsidian]

this could go horribly wrong

yeah bbv and bc count

bms do not

[ornate mantle]

Honestly, if you're worried about Suicide Boats I'd opt to 8-4.

[verbal obsidian]

nah!

[ornate mantle]

Not too different from W9 EXP and fewer Suicide Botes.

[clear gate]

The guy's farming Radford/Jenkins

[verbal obsidian]

im farming for radkins!

[clear gate]

so

[ornate mantle]

Ahhhhhhh, fair enough.

[verbal obsidian]

ive gotten 10 drops of jenkins tho

[ornate mantle]

Wait.

What.

You're farming for Radford.

Gotcha.

"Radkins"

[verbal obsidian]

oh right

yeah

same banana

[ornate mantle]

What the fuck, lmao.

[verbal obsidian]

cant remember names for waifus who will nvr see the light of day in my fleet

[ornate mantle]

You don't have a leveled Phoenix though. kinda surprised.

[verbal obsidian]

shes not waifu

[ornate mantle]

I guess, lmao.

[clear gate]

But she is very meta in PvE

[verbal obsidian]

meta in pve

[stuck copper]

[verbal obsidian]

anything is meta if u believe hard enough

BELIEVE IT

[ornate mantle]

What leveled DD's do you have.

[verbal obsidian]

uh

[ornate mantle]

Or even CL's tbh.

[verbal obsidian]

pepegas 1-37 are 110

[cosmic pier]

never really used phoenix

[ornate mantle]

Belfast is kinda tanky.

I do have her levelled but literally never feel like I need her

[verbal obsidian]

i have plenty of sakura cls

ibuki was easy

[cosmic pier]

[clear gate]

Leander. Go cheaper

You want efficiency, right?

[ornate mantle]

Or Fortune.

[stuck copper]

if you want sustainability, Leander is not the answer

better go for Phoenix

[verbal obsidian]

would leander be able to survive

i do have her like 105

[clear gate]

In 9-2, maaaaybe? 🦊

[stuck copper]

without healer, she isn't

I have her on 110 right now

[ornate mantle]

@verbal obsidian

[ornate mantle]

Probably something like this

[verbal obsidian]

when ive been spouting

smh

o thats funny

[stuck copper]

sorry I didn't read your previous comment

[verbal obsidian]

fortune is also level 1

[ornate mantle]

I mean.

[clear gate]

See, all the good picks we're choosing for you, you haven't leveled up P:

[stuck copper]

Belfast is tanky but she is expensive

[verbal obsidian]

its ok

[ornate mantle]

@verbal obsidian : Something with Smokescreen.

[verbal obsidian]

i'll find a way

[stuck copper]

How about Edin?

[verbal obsidian]

sings hercules disney song

[ornate mantle]

Honestly, Belfast might also work tbh.

[clear gate]

Crescent Kai, but low luck stat

[ornate mantle]

I mean, Belfast or Bel-chan.

[verbal obsidian]

im running yama / ise / hyuuga and port atm

100 /85 /85 / 100

[clear gate]

I didn't want to suggest Crescent Kai at first, because I was thinking "who the hell besides me has Crescent Kai"

[ornate mantle]

Port is good.

[verbal obsidian]

[ornate mantle]

Give her a Beaver Badge.

And maybe a FE.

[stuck copper]

seriously, I wish CL could equip FCR

[ornate mantle]

Or a Toolkit.

Honestly, I love the Pyoko Pyoko.

That extra luck stat despite being so small feels like it makes a huge difference.

[stuck copper]

really>

[ornate mantle]

Yeah.

[stuck copper]

one or two lucks...

I doubt it

[ornate mantle]

My Cygnet started being able to Solo C9 with the Pyoko.

When it wouldn't prior to Pyoko.

[stuck copper]

🤔

[clear gate]

Pyoko Pyoko also brings CV Kizuna from "composition-limiting" to "hey this isn't bad"

[stuck copper]

if that is the case, I think I would give it to Mogami

what does the pyoko pyoko even do

[clear gate]

+500 HP
+2 Luck

[ornate mantle]

+2 Luck, +500 HP.

[clear gate]

Adds Kizuna AI nationality to ship

[ornate mantle]

Haha.

[stuck copper]

does +2 luck even do much

give it to Portland and she will tank all day

[cosmic pier]

not really

[ornate mantle]

I didn't think it would.

[cosmic pier]

helps a bit sure

[ornate mantle]

But I feel like it does.

[stuck copper]

i jsut realized what she was staring at

[verbal obsidian]

hmm if this group was slightly more leveled

and their gear was better

[clear gate]

I use it mainly for the +500 HP

[verbal obsidian]

this would have been np

but last mob will kill me

[ornate mantle]

I like it with the Toolkkit + Pyoko Combo.

[verbal obsidian]

[ornate mantle]

Just give them better gear.

[verbal obsidian]

ye

[stuck copper]

[verbal obsidian]

wanted to see if i could do it

with some scraps

[clear gate]

Bad call

[stuck copper]

is the AI chip worth getting

[ornate mantle]

Uhhhhh, well glad that shit didn't work out.

[clear gate]

Never use scraps unless you're sure 🦊

Equipment makes so much difference man

@stuck copper +245 HP and +8 Speed, it's basically a boiler

[ornate mantle]

Honestly Poi is another kinda tanky DD.

Oh wait.

I retract that.

[stuck copper]

YKKZ is the tankiest

[clear gate]

Zui doesn't have Yuki, right?

[ornate mantle]

She just has High HP for a DD.

But her luck is absolute gutter.

[verbal obsidian]

i have all ships pretty much

except the drop tables of 9

and 11

if shes leveled

now thats a different question

[ornate mantle]

My YKK is a fairly low level as well.

72

[clear gate]

Speaking of Pyoko Pyoko

[verbal obsidian]

i'll just slap them with some maxed gear

[clear gate]

I forgot to unequip it

[stuck copper]

I still missed Hiei-chan

[verbal obsidian]

and i should clear np

[clear gate]

from Naka

[verbal obsidian]

xd

[clear gate]

I had it on her for a time because she was underleveled

and by "underleveled" I mean level 100, but still

[stuck copper]

underlevled lul

[ornate mantle]

Farming Ibuki?

[clear gate]

Yah

[ornate mantle]

Naisu.

[clear gate]

I have a serious dearth of IJN cruisers though

[stuck copper]

I might miss Hiei-chan, but I don't want to miss the adult version

[verbal obsidian]

farming ibuki was fun

[clear gate]

so, making do with what I got

[verbal obsidian]

i enjoy IJN cls

[clear gate]

The only IJN cruisers I leveled up are the fox sisters

[shrewd nova]

[clear gate]

so I've just been using them

[verbal obsidian]

farming for izumo is so much easier

[clear gate]

Honestly Pyoko Pyoko still makes some sense for Naka even at level 110, due to her terrible HP stat

[verbal obsidian]

flagship xp op

[clear gate]

though torp bulge probably better

for auto I mean

[stuck copper]

Is Naka good?

[clear gate]

Not really?

She's okay

[ornate mantle]

I'd say she has her uses like just about every other ship in the game.

[stuck copper]

h

[ornate mantle]

So she's definitely good.

[clear gate]

If you need a torpedo buffer, there are worse picks than Naka

Midtier imo. Solid, not bad, not exceptional

[stuck copper]

I might give up on Jintsuu to move to world 11

[ornate mantle]

Why.

[stuck copper]

keep going

[ornate mantle]

You literally have all the time in the world with PR, lmao.

Like, PR is great for that.

[stuck copper]

I have been stuck at 10-4 for a long time without a single Jintsuu

[clear gate]

Imo the biggest drawback of Naka, compared to Jintsuu, is that she's much less durable. The torp buff is worse too but it's not the end of the world

[stuck copper]

jintsuu is worth every drop of ignoring-gross-violations-of-human-rights aka oil

[ornate mantle]

I got three Jintsuu.

[toxic scroll]

it doesn't matter if a girl is good or not
all that matters is that YOU like her

[stuck copper]

im not even on W10

[clear gate]

Jintsuu is considered good partly because she has The Unyielding Jintsuu

and that makes her way tankier than her terrible HP suggests

whereas Naka's HP is face value

[verbal obsidian]

anyways

good night fellow memers

[clear gate]

o/

[stuck copper]

nighty night

[verbal obsidian]

[ornate mantle]

I'm not a memelord.

[toxic scroll]

[ornate mantle]

but yeah.

[clear gate]

@stuck copper if all you want is a torpedo buffer, there's also like... Kagerou

even without retrofit she's not bad

or Shiratsuyu for discount Kagerou

[toxic scroll]

nowaki if you have her

she's not too bad

[ornate mantle]

Plenty of IJN options for Torp sustain.

[toxic scroll]

IJN DDs are all good options for the most part

for torp

[clear gate]

Worth noting is that Naka's skill stacks on top of Torp Command

[ornate mantle]

Ohhhhh, interesting.

[clear gate]

You can, if you so desire, use Jintsuu + Naka/Sendai + any Torp Command user to get the fruits of all their torpedo buffs

It will all stack

You will have like... no survivability probably, but it's funny

[toxic scroll]

who needs survivability

when you're giving the enemies no survivability

[ornate mantle]

Switching to farming more levels with Ibuki.

And affection.

[toxic scroll]

how many people in here have 2+ PR ships again

[ornate mantle]

? I don't think anyone.

[toxic scroll]

i vaguely rememberpeople saying they did, that or they were close to finishing ship 2

[clear gate]

I'll be good to go for Neptune once Ibuki is done, since I did the 1 million in advance

Too bad I can't use Ibuki to farm for Neptune

[ornate mantle]

Oh, you switched midway?

[clear gate]

I did yah

Otherwise I'd be done by now

[ornate mantle]

Yeah, lol. What made you want to switch.

[toxic scroll]

i might be 9% into the neptune 2mil

[clear gate]

I was trying to do both at the same time and then I was like "okay this is actually legitimately awful, I have to pick one"

[toxic scroll]

can't you only do 1 at a time though

[ornate mantle]

I think around 4k oil got me 50% of Monarch 1m.

[dim crystal]

[ornate mantle]

LOL.

[clear gate]

Well, I was juggling between the two, more like it

[stuck copper]

lol

[ornate mantle]

i mean, I guess it's a struggle when choosing.

Yeah though... The "Day One" to get a PR ship was like... Sunday/Sat right?

[toxic scroll]

sunday yeah

i'm p sure

[clear gate]

I'm at 93% of 2M for Ibuki

[ornate mantle]

Up to now isn't enough time to unlock all of the Challenes for PR #2.

So no one should have a 2nd PR ship right now

[toxic scroll]

i didn't know the time lockout stayed after finishing ship 1

[ornate mantle]

They might have all the shit prepped up assuming they'd have 2M done right now.

it is present for all PR.

[clear gate]

Yah, the lockout is independent for each ship

[ornate mantle]

that's why it's heavily timegated.

[stuck copper]

can i ship my phone over to someone here so you guys can grind for me

[toxic scroll]

yeah didn't know that

[clear gate]

If you pause one ship, that ship's timers stop

Only the ship under development has the timers count down

[ornate mantle]

@stuck copper : Sure, can't guarantee you'll get your phone back.

But, I can farm two phones at once.

[stuck copper]

hmm

[clear gate]

If you give me your login credentials

[stuck copper]

[clear gate]

My oil efficiency in Ibuki grinding is limited slightly because 1) My IJN cruisers aren't super cheap and 2) I'm also grinding BB Kizuna in this fleet at the same time

[toxic scroll]

my neptune fleet consists of Nagato, Vestal(until danger level goes down), Belfast, Sirius, and Aurora

[clear gate]

BB Kizuna is quite good so far, though no MVPs due to being so seriously underleveled

Her barrage is very spray-and-pray, but it's effective

[ornate mantle]

It's not bad.

My Fleet Oil Cost was 30 flat.

[stuck copper]

damn

[ornate mantle]

Vestal/ Jintsuu/ Sendai.

Then I switched to Mogami after Jintsuu hit 110.

[dim crystal]

mine was 27

with 3 frontliner

[ornate mantle]

See? not too different.

[toxic scroll]

57

[stuck copper]

57 is weak

[clear gate]

57 is crazy

[ornate mantle]

My Monarch farm team is 50.

[stuck copper]

monarch farm team is 62 rn

[toxic scroll]

that's with vestal

[clear gate]

47 without Vestal

[ornate mantle]

Wait really.

How the fuck is that possible.

OH.

[clear gate]

is still a pretty significant amount 🤔

[ornate mantle]

Multiple Backlines.

[steep scarab]

[clear gate]

Vestal 10 oil, I remember that off the top of my head

[ornate mantle]

I thought it was Solo Backline Vestal.

Indeed.

[stuck copper]

lol

[ornate mantle]

Same, lmao.

Fucking love Vestal

[toxic scroll]

she's 10

so 47-57 oil

[clear gate]

47's still fairly expensive

[ornate mantle]

Who r u farming again?

Neptune

?

to Uru.

[toxic scroll]

yes

[clear gate]

Do you have a cheaper backliner than Nagato, BBs are kinda expensive

[toxic scroll]

i do

[ornate mantle]

I mean, you don't even need Backline other than Vestal..

[clear gate]

Depends on where he is

[ornate mantle]

Unless Vestal is underleveled.

[toxic scroll]

farming 9-3

she's 100

so i don't

but

[ornate mantle]

Uhhhhh yeah. a little underleveled for W9.

[toxic scroll]

aurora likes taking a lot of damage

[clear gate]

Aurora's kinda frail

Only 2600 HP

2568, whatever

[toxic scroll]

i'd hope she is

since i'm farming neptune and all

[ornate mantle]

yeah, lol. Somehow I had Saint Louis line up in my brain.

[toxic scroll]

lmao what

[clear gate]

What gear do you run on that Aurora

[ornate mantle]

For all my Front Liner PR farming setups I use a Solo Vestal.

[toxic scroll]

probably not the right gear

[ornate mantle]

Vestal / 1-2 of the units for a specific PR.

[clear gate]

You might actually have some good luck with Toolkit + Pyoko Pyoko, which is what I run on Naka

another HP deficient cruiser

[ornate mantle]

Toolkit Pyoko is an awesome combo.

[toxic scroll]

honestly it's just gear i had

[dim crystal]

solo vestal lmao

[toxic scroll]

that wasn't being used

[dim crystal]

just run a cheap BB

lb0

[ornate mantle]

@dim crystal : Or I can run Solo Vestal and not lose EXP.

Solo AR ships is a really nice set up to have.

Guarantee Frontline PVP.

Extra Ammo.

• 3 Repairs.

[clear gate]

This is what I run on Naka, it probably would work for Aurora too

[ornate mantle]

If you have a solid frontline that's all you basically need to clear all the trash.

[toxic scroll]

my aurora also isn't 100 lmao

[clear gate]

Oh

[toxic scroll]

99

[clear gate]

RIP Aurora

[toxic scroll]

so close enough

but not 100

i thought she was lower

tb

[ornate mantle]

Aurora should be MIN 105 after the farm.

[toxic scroll]

tbh

[clear gate]

I have a 105 Aurora from Nep farm

[toxic scroll]

i'm also working on nagato exp

my aurora started at like

[clear gate]

Oh I see, that makes sense

[toxic scroll]

80 something

[ornate mantle]

Uhhhhh, she might be a little costly and counterproductive to Neptune farm.

Nagato hits like a fucking truck.

[clear gate]

Depends on his priorities anyway

This is certainly more time efficient

[ornate mantle]

And can easily steal MVP from frontliners.

[clear gate]

if not oil efficient

Just use crap gear on Nagato

No more MVP

[ornate mantle]

I mean, with PR you want Oil, and EXP...

Nagato steals from both unless you're running for Izumo.

That's if you're trying to get Neptune ASAP.

[ripe mantle]

give neptune

[ornate mantle]

Idk, my recommendations is always to just stick a Solo AR.

Cuts cost and can guarantee MVP for frontline ships.

[toxic scroll]

also again

[ornate mantle]

But kinda limits how high you can farm for EXP

[toxic scroll]

i'm working on nagato's 110 exp

[clear gate]

Yah

that's fair

[toxic scroll]

and i'm using the same fleet

as i go up worlds

9-4 next

then 10-4

then world 11

[ornate mantle]

I guess, lol.

I personally saved my Nagato for when I'm going for Izumo.

Which is next after Monarch is done.

That just makes the most sense to me.

[ripe mantle]

i used nagatoot to boost my FP in sp4

[clear gate]

I know that I'll probably try to get all the PR ships at some point

[ripe mantle]

for ibuki grind

[clear gate]

since I like collecting things

[ornate mantle]

I'm definitely going for all the PR ships.

Right from the get go.

[toxic scroll]

10%

les go bois

[ornate mantle]

[ripe mantle]

I just need Neptune

[clear gate]

I'm waiting for oil recharge

[ripe mantle]

monarch and izumo can come whenever

[clear gate]

as I am basically constantly low on oil as a result of PR grind

[toxic scroll]

i got 2-3k more oil before i get back down to my softcap

[clear gate]

I don't have an oil softcap, I just burn all of it

lmao

[ornate mantle]

Can relate, lmao.

[ripe mantle]

back to 6-4 mines once i finish w11

[toxic scroll]

11.4k out of 9.7k

[ornate mantle]

How far are you to Neptune Synd.

[ripe mantle]

i just started last night

[ornate mantle]

Oh? Started Monarch first?

[ripe mantle]

5ish runs gave me 10%

No

why would I need monarch

i dont use HMS fleets

[ornate mantle]

I mean, starting Yesterday seems late for trying to get your second PR.

[toxic scroll]

make that 14.4k oil now

[ripe mantle]

I got Izumo 1m first

[ornate mantle]

So I'm just assuming since Monarch is usually the one people go for first.

[ripe mantle]

then realized i need neptune

instead of waifu

i got Ibuki first

[stuck copper]

you need monarch because shes the hottest ship in the game

[clear gate]

Monarch is a bit too brooding for my liking, not sure if will use

[ripe mantle]

she isnt really

[stuck copper]

[ripe mantle]

100% sure

ibuki is gonna sink

[stuck copper]

she'll be fine

[clear gate]

Well then again, I use and oathed Helena. But, different kind of brooding

[ornate mantle]

I went Ibuki first as well.

[ripe mantle]

Also its not late

[ornate mantle]

going for Monarch right now.

[ripe mantle]

I wanted best PR waifu first

then i am going to get the rest whenever i get them

so no it isnt that late

i dont have a reason to rush exp

[ornate mantle]

I'm putting priority on Waifus > Skins > Rest

[ripe mantle]

now

[ornate mantle]

So Ibuki > PR with Skins > Others

[ripe mantle]

if only i had my ibuki L2D

[clear gate]

That is a mentality I can get behind

[ornate mantle]

Soon TM

[stuck copper]

monarch L2D when

[ripe mantle]

watches as agano floats into all of jintsuu's torps

F

[clear gate]

Wait, you're fighting an Agano in PvP?

[toxic scroll]

[flat palm]

I’m running out of oil

[clear gate]

I never see those

[ripe mantle]

11-3

[clear gate]

Probably because Aganos are super rare

in PvP

Ah gotcha

[ripe mantle]

I was gonna

use tirp instead of hyuuga

then thought

nah too meme

[clear gate]

So you picked the safe choice

[ripe mantle]

not really

itd have been fine anyways

[clear gate]

I mean it would have

[ripe mantle]

cause sakura 7 woulda just wiped the map anyways

wtf

a one chevron node

[clear gate]

In 11-3? Yeah, I've seen those

[ripe mantle]

im gonna let this node go home

[clear gate]

Well, 11-4, but same shit

[ripe mantle]

just kidding

[clear gate]

If you have an easy way out, you might as well use it

[stuck copper]

donate oil pls

[ripe mantle]

its even in sub range

[clear gate]

No, I don't have enough oil to donate

[stuck copper]

[toxic scroll]

nicholas drop when

[clear gate]

Long after you're completely sick of the clusterfuck that is 9-3

[toxic scroll]

9-3 easy though
