[cunning ermine]

Oh

[errant bramble]

[cunning ermine]

Sara?

Aight

Ok so they telling me to save like 200 cubes or Smt?

[plucky goblet]

Saratoga

[errant bramble]

u got some pretty good ships, use portland/heinrich/z23 for front

[plucky goblet]

Yes, you actually gonna need more than that for UR event but 200 is a good start

[cunning ermine]

Aight

But I started yesterday

How do I get so many

[errant bramble]

ryuuhou sara and buy unicorn from guild shop

save up

u get like 180 per month if u play regularly

[cunning ermine]

Oh damn

That’s a lot

[plucky goblet]

You get 150 per month if you do daily, collect login reward and collect weekly mission.

[cunning ermine]

But also, don’t I need to make 2 fleets?

It feels like I don’t have enough to create 2 fleets

[errant bramble]

not yet

[plucky goblet]

You will spend like 400 in like 2 week for the UR event so no, they are too few

[cunning ermine]

Especially given that I’m also doing commissions

[errant bramble]

i 1 fleeted until world 7

[cunning ermine]

?

[errant bramble]

just 1 fleet til world 7

[cunning ermine]

Do 3 stars matter?

I can’t beat all the enemies with the ammo of 1 fleet

[errant bramble]

dont worry about that til u got 2 fleets

[plucky goblet]

What comm are you doing? Don't do the 1000 oil one, it is not worth it

[cunning ermine]

Uhh

[plucky goblet]

It matter bc you will get 3 star reward of gem and bulin

[cunning ermine]

I go monke brain and click whichever one has cubes or build skip things

[plucky goblet]

Good instinct then

[errant bramble]

it will pop up saying "this will cost 1000 oil"

dont do that one XD

[cunning ermine]

Oh

[plucky goblet]

Now check the medal shop and see if you have Enterprise

[cunning ermine]

Right someone in the main chat also said to roll once a day on light ships

Ok I’ll check

[errant bramble]

yeah build 1 light ship a day for 200 free coins and a ship

[cunning ermine]

Uhh

[errant bramble]

medal shop wont help if he has no medals

[cunning ermine]

Wait what? Doesn’t it cost a cube

[plucky goblet]

Well, you are not lucky then, no fear, next month they will refresh and you might get Enty

[cunning ermine]

Wait

?

[errant bramble]

go to guild shop and buy unicorn and uhh

i guess another copy of portland

[cunning ermine]

I’m so confused, how do you know what gives what

[plucky goblet]

Light build cost 1 cube and the mission give you back 1 cube so basically, it barely cost you anything

[errant bramble]

elite ship and rare ship

[cunning ermine]

Oh it’s a selector

[errant bramble]

and also get the t2 and t3retrofit items too

[cunning ermine]

So I buy a unicorn and Portland

[errant bramble]

select carrier for those

[plucky goblet]

Enty is aircraft carrier so her option is CV, you only have the option for DD and CL ship in the shop.

[errant bramble]

yeah your main priority as a new player is to buff unicorn as much as possible

[cunning ermine]

That I’m aware of

I just didn’t know it was a selector

[errant bramble]

i would probs buy the gold and purple plates too

choose err planes for those

[cunning ermine]

Wait

So

[plucky goblet]

Slow down a bit

[cunning ermine]

Retrofit is 2 carriers of each right?

[errant bramble]

no retrofit is a secondary progression path

[cunning ermine]

Like 2 t3 and 2 t2

I meant which one to buy

[errant bramble]

both

[cunning ermine]

Yeah

[errant bramble]

and select carrier when you do it

[plucky goblet]

Yes, buy them all, choose the carrier option

[cunning ermine]

So get only carriers for retrofit

[plucky goblet]

Yes

For now anyway

[errant bramble]

and then after u bought it all u can refresh the shop and buy another unicorn and portland

and maybe more prints

[cunning ermine]

Also wdym by err planes?

Oh

[errant bramble]

the gold and purple books

[cunning ermine]

Yeah

But which one is err?

Wait no I’m dumb u meant just buy planes right?

[plucky goblet]

My mistake, it cost guild coin

[errant bramble]

yeah buy the plane books

[cunning ermine]

Ok did all that

I know who to put on front

[errant bramble]

refreshed shop? What's the new one

[cunning ermine]

In my fleet

Oh I just bought units, retrofit, and more plates

[errant bramble]

ye click refresh at the top it costs only 50 coins

[plucky goblet]

Buy the red skill book

[errant bramble]

i would buy everything there except the limited ship

[plucky goblet]

And the snack as well, also don't bother with 2000 coin ship

[cunning ermine]

Aight

Did all that

[plucky goblet]

Sort the dock by rarity instead of level, it is easier that way.

[errant bramble]

but yeah ur front line would be heinrich/z23/portland

[cunning ermine]

This?

[errant bramble]

put z23 in the middle

[cunning ermine]

Oh ok

So positioning matters here

Oh yeah I also have some event currency

Didn’t know u-37 was free

[plucky goblet]

Left position in battle mean front, right mean the back position, those 2 position will change between each other in battle but you want to put the tankiest ship front, mid is where you put the fragile one

[cunning ermine]

Ah I see

[plucky goblet]

She is drop from map but don't dwelt on it for too long, focus on your fleet for now

[errant bramble]

buy the eagle boxes with the rest

[cunning ermine]

I mean

I have her

I got her from free tickets

eagle boxes

Wait

[plucky goblet]

then royal box

[cunning ermine]

Oh I see

I have 250 left over

[plucky goblet]

Eagle give you gold hellcat and gold SG, royal give you gold barracuda

[cunning ermine]

Uhh

Ok

[plucky goblet]

event coin?

[cunning ermine]

Yes

[errant bramble]

get coins then

[cunning ermine]

Also what does a cat box do

[errant bramble]

i think i was hurting for coins mostly when I started

[cunning ermine]

I’m over the max rn

[errant bramble]

yeah that wont last long

[plucky goblet]

It give you mew officer, a passive buff

[cunning ermine]

I also don’t have enough for coins

They cost 500

[errant bramble]

ah right just buy the drinks then

[plucky goblet]

So ignore them, I guess you buy all of the oil and coin already?

[cunning ermine]

I can buy cat box, t3 plates, or oxycola

[errant bramble]

plates sorry

[plucky goblet]

Yep, buy the cola

[errant bramble]

plates are better

[cunning ermine]

What does cola do?

[plucky goblet]

Not realy for early game

[cunning ermine]

Actually what does anything do =_=

[plucky goblet]

Snack for dorm so you can have free exp for ship that you put in there

[cunning ermine]

Oh

Uhh

Is that the main way of levelling up ships?

Cuz it felt like auto clearing stages wasn’t it

[plucky goblet]

No, but it is handy

[errant bramble]

i dont think ive ever run out of food but yeah t3 plates arent your biggest worry yet

[cunning ermine]

Oh

Ok so I’ll buy cola

Wait I already have 89

[plucky goblet]

Trust me, you need all the cola

[cunning ermine]

Aight

When are submarines used?

[plucky goblet]

At least map 10

[cunning ermine]

Oh damn

That’s a while

Oh yeah

Do War archives gives ssr ships

[errant bramble]

yeah but u need to clear them 60 times to get one

[cunning ermine]

Oh…

[plucky goblet]

It can drop from map B3 and D3 but it also guarantee if you do 60x time map D3. I would not recommend WA for you right now, you simply can't cut it

[cunning ermine]

Right

[plucky goblet]

Do you have any battleship or battlecruiser?

[cunning ermine]

Uhh

I have no idea

Are they BB?

Like in filters?

[plucky goblet]

They have the symbol of a red turret in the name plate

[plucky goblet]

Yes

[plucky goblet]

Put renown as your flagship and then show me what gear you will arm her with

[errant bramble]

wont need bb yet tbh

not worth raising any of those really

[cunning ermine]

How do I efficiently level ships?

[errant bramble]

campaign

[cunning ermine]

Oh

This team then?

[plucky goblet]

Heinrich left position, she is tankier than portland

[cunning ermine]

Ok from left to right now is Heinrich, z23, and Portland

That good?

[plucky goblet]

Focus on level up uni, give her the fastest plane you have, don't need to care about dmg

[plucky goblet]

Good enough

[plucky goblet]

Your fleet is around 25 oil, I assume you can safely auto map 3-2?

[cunning ermine]

What does this mean

[plucky goblet]

What mean?

[cunning ermine]

Also should I focus equip on ryuuhou or unicorn more?

What’s FR and AVI

[plucky goblet]

It is a better plane in all aspect

[plucky goblet]

Uni, Ryuuhou is only useful late game, not early game like uni

[cunning ermine]

Oh ok

[errant bramble]

they're both healers so you'll want to use ryuuhou in a separate fleet to unicorn eventually

[plucky goblet]

FR is how fast the next wave of plane gonna be ready, on CV the FR is a bot misleading, you need to check in the gear window bc CV need to combine multiple plane, when it said 10s/wave, it might be 22s for the CV to ready it airstrike

[cunning ermine]

What

[plucky goblet]

AVI mean the aviation point, the higher the AVI, the more dmg it airstrike deal

[cunning ermine]

Oh

So much information to take in

[plucky goblet]

For example, my plane reload in 7s but to launch the airstrike, my uni need 20s bc she need to combine with plane in the other slot.

[plucky goblet]

It is a very steep learning curve

[cunning ermine]

I never expected azur lane to be harder to learn than Arknights =_=

[plucky goblet]

Oh, you naive child. I haven't tell you about the bossing strat and map clearing strat yet.

[cunning ermine]

Ah

[errant bramble]

its a 5 year old game going on 6, gonna be a lot of mechanics

[plucky goblet]

.

[cunning ermine]

Maybe

I’m currently clearing 2-3

Also apparently a UR event is coming?

What’s the chances of a UR?

[plucky goblet]

1.2%

[cunning ermine]

Oh no

[errant bramble]

400 cubes to guarantee

[plucky goblet]

Yeah, remember what I said about 400 cube, they have a pity system so if you spend 400 cube, you will get a guarantee UR

[cunning ermine]

Right

Ok so one last thing

Daily raids

I do all of them?

[plucky goblet]

Yes

[cunning ermine]

Or whichever one I can

Aight
