#Current Dock
keen anchor
current dock, however it looks like I need to make some space I’m running out of space apparently. Besides duplicates, not sure what else I need to get rid of.
rigid basalt
keen anchor
I don’t have enough gems to get any more dock. Space right now. So I need to do some cleaning I guess.
keen anchor
Mind repeating your goal?
go for what exactly?
well, right now it looks like based on how many characters that are in that dock definitely need to do some cleaning to make some space. In regards to general overall my specific goal you’ll have to give me some time to think that.
rigid basalt
Like what specifically you wanted advice on?
He's asking which ships to get rid of
He wants some dock space ig
cold ginkgo
with 280 I'd say buy more dock space? there's not much he can drop there that won't be a PITA to get again on short notice
fossil haven
Obviously dupes you can get rid of. Then add to that every ship you can buy from guild shop
That said, your dock space is tiny
Not sure what you spent your gems on but yep
fossil haven
Obviously dupes you can get rid of. Then add to that every ship you can buy from...
Add to this all farmable elite/rare ships
So that’s if you’re desperate to get more dock space
For reference
There’s a wiki page on all farmable ships
As well as one on guild shop
So you can use that as a guide for comparison
But seriously, you need more dock space
Anyhow that’s it. Don’t retire any collab or only buildable ships they’re a PITA to get back, if that’s even a possibility
keen anchor
oh, by the way, just an FYI I do want to complete all of these so I can get all the rewards that I still don’t have from them and get rid of those characters if I don’t need to keep them then after I complete these objectives.
cold ginkgo
collab isn't a PITA to get back, just assume they're not replaceable
build is cope
ships that can be farmed again at some point probably can drop for now
keen anchor
I don’t know how many of these characters are worth keeping once I get them max limit breaked. That would certainly give me a few more gems and clear up some space if I could finish up that stuff.
cold ginkgo
well if you're not a hard collector then most of them aren't keeps
keen anchor
I only understood a portion of that I don’t understand the first part of that message.
keen anchor
well if you're not a hard collector then most of them aren't keeps
I am a bit of a collector, but I am running out of space at the same time.
cold ginkgo
collab ships simply don't come back
fossil haven
Collab ships. Assume you can’t get them again
cold ginkgo
so far we've only had 2 reruns that are more exceptions than the norm
fossil haven
Ships in build pool. With how big it is, your chances of getting them again through that are minuscule
keen anchor
with 280 I'd say buy more dock space? there's not much he can drop there that wo...
you keep saying PITA. I don’t know what that stands for. I can’t currently buy any more space at the moment without spending real money and I can’t currently do that right now. The only way would be to get gems somehow in game for free.
cold ginkgo
pain in the arse
unborn bronze
pain in the ass
fossil haven
Sorry for the acronym but yep
keen anchor
Obviously dupes you can get rid of. Then add to that every ship you can buy from...
yeah, I do that once I have the resources if they are not currently MLB already.
keen anchor
But seriously, you need more dock space
I am aware.
frigid totem
3 starring higher chapters can also give some gems. u can level san diego, guam and laffeyII.
they will make 13 really easy
cold ginkgo
if you really need to drop them start with the ships that are in shop, won't get you a lot of space though at a glance
keen anchor
pain in the ass
yeah, I eventually pieced it together, but it took me a while to figure out what you were talking about.
keen anchor
3 starring higher chapters can also give some gems. u can level san diego, guam ...
sounds good I’ll show you what my current situation is with the first two you mentioned. I’ve been working on Laffey II Leveling for quite some time now.
Going to show some other stuff so give me a moment. I gotta take some more photos.
fossil haven
By the by, guild upgrades can give dock slots
I know you might already be aware, but it bears repeating
keen anchor
By the by, guild upgrades can give dock slots
I think I’ve maxed out those already, but I have to double check
fossil haven
Max level is 15/15 rn for +30 slots
keen anchor
I can post the characters in my Fleet one and fleet two gear in a moment if necessary.
keen anchor
well, this isn’t my main game. So I just found some random guild in the game when I eventually joined one.
fossil haven
keen anchor
well, again, this is not one of the main games. I play the two main games. I currently play at the moment are Asphalt 9 Legends and Destiny 2. Well, I do play this game every day. I’m more of a casual player just occasionally needing some advice for game progression. If I played this game more frequently than I certainly would post in there.
of my dock, however any suggestions on which characters I can currently get rid of to make some space for the time being. I know there are several characters that aren’t very good.
frigid totem
dont use level 120 ships for daily farming. it is wasted xp.
also some of the ships in dorm could be better. like fubuki, choukai and noshiro wont do much for a long time. take em out and put stuff that needs levelling and is useful. like guam for example.
dont focus agir skills yet. looks like she is still needs a lot of BPs to be usable so unless u have no other ships that needs skills levelled like guam or shinano dont do hers yet
keen anchor
OK. Who should I put in there then to work on leveling up their skills?
The main iron blood PR ship that I’m currently working on is still FDG to get her maxed out.

I’ll take a closer look at my current situation when I go on my lunch break. There I have a bigger screen and should be easier to flip back-and-forth.
frigid totem
u still have 24 slots available I dont think u need to retire anything yet. as long as u can 3x sortie it should be fine i think. start by using your dupes (if u still have any) and use this guild shop wiki page to start retiring stuff
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Shops#Guild_Shop
however dont retire ships u actually use like helena and unicorn 
FdG is different in that she is coinable. So levelling her skills is fine. she should be usable much sooner than Agir
i think if u want to tackle ch13 soon work on shinano, guam, laffeyII, san diego.
u probably have enough to tackle it now but I dont know what your gear is like so maybe better to not force it when u have ships that can make it a breeze in ~1-2 weeks of farming
We might get a META dock update soon as well (hopefully with CN anni but nothing definitive yet) that should help a bit with the dockspace situation

yeah, those two ships you’ve mentioned are already blocked and they’re gonna stay locked. I have no desire to get rid of them. Since I know they’re needed anyway for stuff. It’s mainly the elite and lower ships that I’m wondering which ones I can get rid of.
keen anchor

I can post those pictures in just a few minutes or when I get a chance
CN anni?
frigid totem
CN anniversary. ~1 month from now
keen anchor
OK. By the way, this is the current gear situation, including equipped gear. However, I eventually stopped taking screenshots because I realized as I was getting further that it’s just the default gear that automatically comes with those ships.
I might need to clean out some of that stuff at some point I think. Not sure if it’s necessary just yet though.
frigid totem
u dont really need to take pictures of everything. just raise good ships to level 120 and chill in ch 12 for a while
good ships are stuff u will use later in opsi or for higher campaign chapters.
or ships that give good tech at 120. for example hiryuu gives 2 ACC at 120 for CVs. which is great.
u can even mix and match for example use hiryuu souryuu shinano and laffey guam and san diego.
raise the backline for tech and vanguard cuz they are useful later in chapters 13 and beyond
keen anchor

your gear isnt bad but it looks like u havent been farming operation siren much
keen anchor
“raise the backline for tech and vanguard cuz they are useful later in chapters 13 and beyond”
What do you mean by this last part?
frigid totem
also dont upgrade random gear beyond level +10
gold plates are really scarce
keen anchor
your gear isnt bad but it looks like u havent been farming operation siren much
well, I can only get so far in operation siren before I struggle to get any further.
I also end up having the heel all my ships multiple times at certain points with certain corruption levels because then the characters are too strong for me currently
frigid totem
I meant when farming for daily gold u dont want the xp to go to waste
so make sure u are using ships to farm that fit 1 of those 2 roles
either a ship u will end up using later
or a ship that gives good tech at level 120
some ships fit both roles
frigid totem
I also end up having the heel all my ships multiple times at certain points with...
It is fine to heal and go back. doing your daily missions, strongholds, hidden zones can get you a lot of resources even if u struggle with the harder bosses
also buy the shops especially the rainbow designs so u can make good gear.
keen anchor
Well, speaking operation siren this is where I’m currently stuck at with it
On the really high corrosion level stuff and story stuff I’m pretty much stuck and can’t get any further because they are destroying me
frigid totem
there isnt an opsi guide really but it is not that hard since u can heal and go b for most content.
sam has a fleetbuilding guide on opsi u can check (it also has ship recommendations that are good in operation siren)
https://samheart564.github.io/ECGC/fleetbuilding#opsi_fleet_comps
u have a level 125 unicorn (+ other amazing ships) it really shouldnt be hard. do the red icons for this month at least. this way u will unlock the new shop after monthly reset
keen anchor
OK, well I’ll take a look at all this stuff when I get a moment it’s kind of hard to do with work right now unless I’m on lunch break or work is over for the day.
keen anchor

yeah, based on the first two pictures I sent that’s what I’m currently stuck on. Some of the enemies are just too strong.
frigid totem
no worries mate. feel free to ask here or general chat if u want some help in opsi
keen anchor
that’s what the first two pictures are from.
I certainly will, but like I said, I got to take a closer look at all this later when I have a bigger screen in front of me. That way I don’t have to flip back-and-forth between discord on my phone and the game on my phone.
frigid totem
iirc u can hit them and even if u lose u can leave and heal and go back. so just push through
also consult the /plus13 command in botspam to know which gear is worth +13
keen anchor
Oh btw for Sakura Empire. Would you recommend using Unzen at some point since she is 125 just to help other ships get to higher levels from Sakura Empire? I am assuming not.
frigid totem
If u mean for hakuryuu. Then only backline xp counts. Use unzen in boss fleet.
She has a crossfleet skill that does some dmg for mob fleet
keen anchor
ok and yes that is what I meant
Btw I bookmarked the one link you sent on my PC. Who should I add to dorm or change out now. One moment
frigid totem
I think your vangaurd will carry that fight. Use these aa guns if u have em.
keen anchor
Also should I put New Jersey in the dorm yet or not?
frigid totem
Can you MLB her? And have extra bulins left for CN anni in 1 month?
Kazagumo, sirius, avp, volga
I would raise these ships.
First 3 can go to opsi CV fleet later. Volga can go to mob fleet with unicorn for ch13+
Nano, hakuryuu, souryuu and san diego can go to dorm second floot since they have enough level to be able to farm with them I think. They will gain xp from farming faster. And u can raise those ships I mentioned in dorm.
Once they get to ~level 100 they can do 12-4 easily I think. So Ig u can keep the backline in first floor for now.
keen anchor
Kazagumo, sirius, avp, volga
Are all of those good ships though? Also, are you saying to put them in the dorm or what exactly are you saying?
well, which chapter node should I farm them with the ships you recommended until they get high enough to do it I was thinking maybe like 10 – 1
frigid totem
Yes all of those ships are worth raising since u will use them in OpSi fleet even in end game. Volga is used in ch15 even and she has good tech at 120 so also worth raising. U also lack a second CV for campaign mob so volga can go there for ch 13 and ch14.
I would say prioritize her with bulins
keen anchor
ok
frigid totem
I think with laff2 sandy and anchorage they should do 12-1 as well. But backline is just a bit underlevelled I think for your gear.
You could put unicorn instead of 1 of them for now till they get more levels.
Try 1 run on 12-1 if it is safe and see
keen anchor
I see. I just did not recall hearing good things last time about Sirius.
I usually put my mob fleet on floor 2 of the dorm.
keen anchor
Can you MLB her? And have extra bulins left for CN anni in 1 month?
Not yet.
frigid totem
Most ppl use sirius in opsi CV fleet even when they have all other ships in the game. Her buff is great. Prioritize volga first though
keen anchor
OK wait can you though type out your suggestions again for mob fleet and for boss fleet. Now a little confused and mixed up with all the previous chats.
btw would my Owari be good to use in a Sakura Empire fleet for mob or boss? She is 5 levels away from 125
Owari and Unzen are my highest level Sakura Empire ships.
frigid totem
hiryuu, souryuu, shinano, anchorage, san diego, laffeyII (this is to grind hakuryuu)
boss: Owari, enterprise, warspite, unzen, guam, san fran (to get more xp on guam + helena)
this is for now.
keen anchor
OK, thank you. I will work on this as I can. I won’t be able to put the gear on until either my last break or till I get off work so I won’t be doing any grinding at least until then.
frigid totem
if this backline fails u can put owari in mob and it should be fine
yeah np it should be fine tbh that vanguard is very strong
for ch13 u would use sth else but i think grind hakuu for now and then think about 13
u have the ships they just need levels
level these ships for 13 when u can
saratoga (just saw u had her, she is an amazing CV especially for mob)
shinano
FdG
guam
laffeyII
if u are struggling with cog chips leave the bunnies (hiryuu + souryuu) at level 100 for now (u can still use them to xp grind hakuu)
before sortie make sure this is green. If it is not replace warspite with another CV like saratoga or hell even unicorn
keen anchor
Kazagumo, sirius, avp, volga
Who for the last two slots though?
frigid totem
u can put guam in one of them. she will be in boss fleet so she can use the extra xp from dorm
gimme a sec for the last one i need to look at the images again
also who are u coining in shipyard?
keen anchor

I was already working on two of those ships that you mentioned leveling before switching things around for the current PR character I’m working on.
keen anchor
also who are u coining in shipyard?
The one I’m currently working on is FDG. After that, I’m either gonna go work on AvP or Agir, but not sure yet. FTG is also set as my catch up character right now for research.
frigid totem
u can buy 10 FdG prints per day + another 10 for a gold ship. If anchorage is dev30 i would focus AvP
for the last 2 slots honestly not sure u have anything that i would consider a must use. u could use some BBs for your operation siren fleets later. so u can put duke of york and howe for now
put guam + duke of york for now
keen anchor
i’ll work on the gear situation when I get a chance. However, is this the recommended positions I should put those two fleets in?
keen anchor
u can buy 10 FdG prints per day + another 10 for a gold ship. If anchorage is de...
wdym 10 prints? right now I’m just doing the two free coin levels. I’m also just using her as the catch up character. I can switch it if I absolutely need to though.
frigid totem
yep that looks great.
the backline is a bit underlevelled in mob fleet. if they die replace hiryuu/souryuu with either owari (to finish hakuryuu faster) or saratoga (to prepare her for ch13)
keen anchor
OK, and any recommendations for that last slot in the dorm?
like I said, though, I’m working on the gear situation later, I’m probably gonna remove it all and then reapply just using the website since I’m not good with figuring out gear for games like this and several of the other games I play.
frigid totem
2 is free. but 10 is still cheap.
if u have the gold buy 10 for each of FdG and AvP. if u are struggling for gold i would still buy ~6 for each at least since it is so cheap
yeah following the website should be fine. read the descriptions though. since sometimes top option isnt the best. especially w planes and Battleship guns
keep catchup on FdG it is fine
frigid totem
OK, and any recommendations for that last slot in the dorm?
duke of york is good. (she can go to opsi BB fleet and has good tech at 120 so worth raising to 120)
keen anchor
yeah following the website should be fine. read the descriptions though. since s...
Where are the descriptions at? I’ve never paid close enough. Attention to notice any descriptions.
frigid totem
i assume u mean ectl website? https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/bb?ship=owari
if u hover over the gear icons there is a small description
for example this gun is listed 6 from the top so u might feel it is not good. but it is actually the best gun in boss fight vs heavy/medium armor enemies, if u read the description it says so 
keen anchor
I only see a picture of the weapon, but I’ll look at the website later when I have a chance
frigid totem
idk how it is on mobile tbh but in pc if u hover it shows u this
keen anchor
I’ll try to use that website that you suggested earlier to go through though my characters and delete the ones that I can easily farm. That way I can make some space.
how do you know the difference for example, between medium or heavy armor bosses?
frigid totem
in campaign the bosses are ships that u can just check on wiki
for example 12-4 has 2 bosses choukai and maya
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/12-4
if u click their page it shows u they are medium armor
also generally DD,CL are light armor
BB are heavy
CA+CV medium
so if u have the gold gun i posted above u can use it on owari. if not it is fine u can still use this one. it does decent dmg against everything
keen anchor
by the way, for that event you were talking about that’s coming up. What is the best way to grind wisdom cubes?
frigid totem
make sure u do all your daily and weekly missions. outside of that run cube commissions
keen anchor
my current AA guns:
keen anchor
and these on backline
what about the Boffors?
keen anchor
had to edit those last couple of messages and delete the one because I realize something that made me want to facepalm myself about what I originally had typed.
frigid totem
this is just better than bofors. u can mix it in with the roombas. but in ch12 the plane waves arent that fast. roomba gives more range and damage. and u dont need the extra rld speed. 2 roomba 1 twin90 also fine i think
keen anchor
well, this is what I currently have set up for my Vanguard units until I can get off work and have more time to look into the gear situation.
I’ll figure out the rest when I get off work for vanguard and main.
And ask any questions I have if I do have questions at that point
keen anchor
use roomba instead of the haz on unzen and san fran
I was gonna say, I only have one of those rn
Since I only have a certain amount of decent gear. Would you recommend redoing the mob or boss fleet gear first. If so in which order. For example a specific ship first or Main or Vanguard units first?
frigid totem
the 3 roomba on the mob vanguard is fine. leave it like that. put the twin 90 on guam and the bofors on the other vanguard. the hazemeyers and STAAG AA guns go on backline ships that have aa slots
keen anchor
the 3 roomba on the mob vanguard is fine. leave it like that. put the twin 90 on...
I think I only have 1 Roomba
keen anchor
I thought you were calling this a Roomba
frigid totem
no that is the twin90
frigid totem
sure thing 
keen anchor
I do have an anti air though already on all Vanguard units. So not sure where I wold even put the "bofors" you are talking about.
keen anchor
i meant change this to bofor
I will check in a moment. Btw how do you get other copies of mods like this and the Beaver Squadron one or can you?
frigid totem
u cant.
frigid totem
i dont think so. most of it is niche tho so u only need 1 copy.
frigid totem
looks fine
small suggestion give hiryuu a hellcat or f4u corsair. they are better in mobbing cuz they do more surface damage and also have anti air. that bf109 rocket plane is better in boss vs medium armor/light armor. u can give it to enty or just not use it it is fine. ppl mostly dont use it in campaign since u need anti air a lot
also swap san fran to main tank for boss fleet. I should have recommended her in tank sry. she is slightly tankier than unzen.
also give owari a similar gun to warspite. it is better for boss fight. if you move her to mob u can keep the same gun u have on her now
keen anchor
which one is the bf109?
keen anchor
looks fine <:RenownThumbsUp:468866533490425857>

which position is the tank postion again?
frigid totem
left most
keen anchor
ok
frigid totem
which one is the bf109?
keen anchor
Do I need to fix anything else since you had me switch San Francisco around?
character not mod wise that is
I also just made this change by the way
frigid totem
no looks fine. San fran should be in unzen position tho.
frigid totem
and anchorage > sandy > laffey
keen anchor
let me know if you need me to put the BF109 in a different spot. Done though. I just switched those ships around.
The BFF 109 is no longer equipped on any ship
frigid totem
honestly probably just dont use it. use another normal fighter
keen anchor
Well, give me a moment and I’ll show you my current gear on the ships that I’m using so give me one moment
frigid totem
your backline is using proper equipment. the only issue is it is not staggered. so all 3 CV might end up using their airstrike at the same time which we dont want to happen. your vanguard is probably strong enough to carry anyway. but if u do fail it maybe worth revisiting the plane options. maybe use some +6 planes instead on shinano to make her slower. let me know if u see it causing an issue
keen anchor
Not exactly sure what you mean, but give me a moment to double check that character
All of the planes on that character are over +6, so I’m not exactly sure what you mean
frigid totem
i mean when u do a run watch what happens with the airstrike. if all 3 CV finish reloading at the same time it is not ideal since the first airstrike will kill everything and the other 2 will end up hitting water. if u see that happening or u fail it might be worth it to try and de-sync them
keen anchor
Well, going to do a test run and we’ll see what happens
frigid totem
good luck 
keen anchor
I did one full run on auto on 12–1 and no ships died at all or they took hardly any damage
frigid totem
Nice. well there u go. good luck with ch 13 and the rest. dont rush it. and dont ignore opsi 
. it is very easy. if u struggle make another thread.
if they get ~level 100 or if u want to try go to 12-4 eventually since it is better gold but staying at 12-1 for now is fine. they are a bit underlevelled
keen anchor
Are their any farmable ships though that are elite level or lower that I can get rid of for the time being until I have more slots or a website that tells me which elite and lower ships are farmable?
because the link posted earlier is only for ships in different shops
frigid totem
