W13 pls help

[vital fractal]

K so uh, need help on world 13 lmao

[slate nebula]

so im telling you this

first

[vital fractal]

As you can see, I am all over the place for dock

[slate nebula]

120 all the ships in the teams we tell you to use

[dim pond]

[vital fractal]

Got it

[arctic fractal]

yeah you seem fairly well off on what ships you have it is mostly just down to their level

maybe gear

[slate nebula]

york2 enterprise unicorn for mob
nj shinano implacable for boss

[vital fractal]

Possibly? I don’t have all the meta gear I think

[slate nebula]

then slap like sandy on one of the fleets

and slap juneau retrofit, scylla, cheshire, atlanta or whatever aa carry on mob

or dont

doesnt really matter

[slate nebula]

make sure to gear them with standard best in slot with fighters

[arctic fractal]

id bring at least one itll probably matter

[vital fractal]

Just for example on what I have for gear

[slate nebula]

so gears are dogshit

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home

[vital fractal]

Yeah lmao

[slate nebula]

match your gear to this

open a ship on the page

match the gear to this

[vital fractal]

I’ve been slowly doing that

[slate nebula]

if a gear is not mentioned, it is trash

[vital fractal]

Trying to get Gear Lab mats and blueprints but it’s going slowly

[slate nebula]

99% the time

[arctic fractal]

lots of proto gears are plenty good as well

[vital fractal]

How do you guys grind the good gear?

[slate nebula]

by playing actively

[arctic fractal]

you should have bunch of those if youve been playing as long as you say you have

[vital fractal]

Well you see, I am straight up just not active

[arctic fractal]

if you havent been doing research projects actively its a good time to start

[hallow cradle]

Pr research and opsi

[arctic fractal]

theyre great place to dump coins too lol

[slate nebula]

you see all the gears are time gated

and need you to daily play

to get them at a reasonable pace

[vital fractal]

Started doing that a while ago so that’s good I guess?

[slate nebula]

or semi daily play

[vital fractal]

Time gated?

[slate nebula]

as in it is a time cost

[vital fractal]

Oh okay

[slate nebula]

so it takes like 2 months of daily grind to get 1 tenrai for example

[arctic fractal]

like you arent gonna get it sooner than x days type

[slate nebula]

if you dont log on every day to do your research

it is going to take longer

the tenrai is not going to magically complete itself

takes about 2-3 opsi resets to get into a good position

[vital fractal]

Oh boy

[slate nebula]

then you keep doing it

[vital fractal]

I’m currently clearing OpSi, decentish progress

[slate nebula]

im telling you, this is possibly the most hardcore gacha game ive ever played

[arctic fractal]

finish chapter 4 of the story in opsi and itll get much better

[slate nebula]

this game endgame is literally years

[vital fractal]

Not sure for research. I’ve just been kinda doing as many projects as I can

[slate nebula]

bad

[vital fractal]

Somehow the most casual and hardcore game at the same time

[arctic fractal]

yea theres some projects that suck and some that are very good

[slate nebula]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Samheart564/Research_Guide

read this entire thing

[slate nebula]

no this game is literally hardcore

[vital fractal]

Think I’m on chapter 5?

[slate nebula]

it doesnt require you to play manually, bc auto, but like

[vital fractal]

I can’t remember

[slate nebula]

the optimization is insane

[vital fractal]

Fair

[slate nebula]

well after you do the arby practice thing opsi reset every month

or whatever point at opsi story

[vital fractal]

Well fuck

[slate nebula]

and you clear the entire thing again

and again

every month

[vital fractal]

Alright time to rethink my entire strategy lmao

[slate nebula]

but after the first month you can autoexplore

so you can run it for 8 hrs

or whatever long you want it to run

[vital fractal]

Got it

[slate nebula]

until all maps are explored

[vital fractal]

Are my current fleets okay for OpSi or should I rearrange them?

[arctic fractal]

i dont know if it mentions it there but only spend cubes on research if you have a bunch of them

[slate nebula]

make sure you note every little detail in the guide

everything matters

[vital fractal]

That’s a no for me then

[slate nebula]

cube research arent even good

you can literally skip them

and complete a whole season within 6 month by following this guide

[quasi night]

[slate nebula]

completing season: dev30/fs5 every ship including rainbow ship

and get 1 copy of the rainbow gear

and no dont ever set your focus on 1-3

if i catch you picking pr1-3 projects i will mald

all are trash

only pr4 or pr5 projects

[quasi night]

but but but my 2nd 234

[slate nebula]

as if that gun will make any difference

[quasi night]

[slate nebula]

another thing is that ideally you always be farming something

basically never stop farming

when event is on, farm event, when event is not on, farm 12-1 or 12-4 for gold

dont stop until game tells you oil gone or morale low

[arctic fractal]

and once oil is gone and morale is low you can play opsi instead lol

[slate nebula]

when a ship hit lvl 120, swap off and level another ship to 120

yes

[hallow cradle]

Never stop farming until you have enough prints to fs5 every ship and have every ships 120 tech

[slate nebula]

use 6 ships to farm at a time since oil cap removes the need for oil efficiency

this game is literally a perpetual grind simulator

but at least it is endgame friendly unlike most other gacha games where you just run outta shit to do

[arctic fractal]

it is crazy how there is just never nothing to do in this game

[vital fractal]

6 months

d a m n

[slate nebula]

6 month is very fast in this game

[vital fractal]

What about for some of the guns that are in pr1-3?

[slate nebula]

craftable in gear lab, has better alternatives and been powercrept, or straight up shit, or not good enough like the rainbow gun

the only gun that is like a definitive grab in all pr1-3 is 114 and mle

which you could buy from protocore shop anyway

mle is fucking broken, you want 2-3 copies at least

[vital fractal]

rainbow gun?

[slate nebula]

rainbow gun from pr3 is not good enough

and rainbow gun from pr2 is craftable from gear lab

[vital fractal]

The quad 380mle?

French gun

[hallow cradle]

Triple 406/50 mle

[slate nebula]

no

i meant pr3 gun

quad 380 is not in pr3

406 /50 mle is what i meant

[hallow cradle]

This gun

[vital fractal]

Welp

Time to grind then

[vital fractal]

How do I get that?

Which PR research? Or is it gear lab

[slate nebula]

did you not read what i wrote

you buy from protocore shop

[vital fractal]

Whoops

[slate nebula]

it is from pr3

[vital fractal]

Glanced over it lmao sorry

[slate nebula]

but you never take pr3 research

bc its dogshit

you instead buy the gun from pr3 equip pack in protocore shop

[vital fractal]

I got PR5 priority rn

[slate nebula]

no, not core data, protocore

[vital fractal]

Fuck not enough prototype cores

40

lmao

[slate nebula]

you can abuse the system if you havent used all your pr1-3 catch ups

and get a ton

[slate nebula]

read the guide i sent you and set it to pr4 first

pr5 is too hard to unlock

[vital fractal]

aight

[slate nebula]

read the entire thing

it tells you how to abuse protocore too

its linked

[vital fractal]

Alright

[slate nebula]

also helps to read this entire thing for fleet building https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Samheart564/Fleetbuilding_Guide

[vital fractal]

Ok I fixed up my fleets
