Hey did u still need help with this?
Do you mean the hard version of this zone?
For the normal version u can just fight it > leave and heal > come back and fight till it is dead
ionic thorn
Hi, yes I still need help, yup I meant the hard boss
This one
I want to try to clear this next month, but not sure what fleet I should try to build
mossy pulsar
Ok next month is hermit which is medium armor
Gimme a sec will have a look at your dock
ionic thorn
Thanks! Not sure which UR should I LB also, should I save some for the upcoming UR?
mossy pulsar
Hmmmmm I would just do alsace + Nano and save after
U could not do nano and just wait if u want to min max more
And u could also do vanguard or wait for Sep anni to decide
ionic thorn
Okay, I might just try without MLB nano and pray I get lucky, if not I will just MLB her
Oh okay, but Alsace is a must first?
mossy pulsar
Your vanguard ships are a problem 
All your best tanks are low level
Can you level agir + anchorage?
Also can you use pr4 catchup on anchorage or used already?
mossy pulsar
Oh okay, but Alsace is a must first?
Yeah alsace is the best option to mlb there
ionic thorn
I just finish anchorage I have 250bp for her catchup is at 178/300
mossy pulsar
Ok nice
Get her to level 120 as well
And u can even coin her
Buy 10 BP/day
To get her to fs5
What about agir? Did u finish her catchup?
ionic thorn
Okay, must be fs5?
mossy pulsar
No but u want to do it anyway
She is fine from dev 30
Buy 10 day
It is very efficient
Same for FdG
So 10 anchor and 10 fdg
ionic thorn
Agir is 25bp catchup 3/150
I switched focus to anchorage
Cos my FDG is still in process
ionic thorn
So i focus on finishing up FDG & Anchorage then proceed to Agir? What should i start next? (Currently doing Cheshire)
ionic thorn
Okay will do
ionic thorn
This?
ionic thorn
But I'm not researching much because i keep running into gold problems with all the events ongoing
mossy pulsar
So for catchup do anchorage > agir > FdG
For coining each day buy 10 Anchorage + 10 FdG
If u dont have the gold it is fine only do 6 FdG
mossy pulsar
But I'm not researching much because i keep running into gold problems with all ...
It is okay
Just do your best
Are you farming 12-4?
mossy pulsar
Ok so for the arbiter (the c7 boss)
ionic thorn
Was rushing to get anchorage out so didnt push further
mossy pulsar
Did u fight the normal version this month?
ionic thorn
Yes i cleared normal
ionic thorn
Okay will do after this event
Btw for this event how much points do you recommend to stop at?
mossy pulsar
The main fleet will be soyuz/alsace/NJ/anchorage (or agir if she is ready)/helena/flex (I think brennus or saint louis is good here)
mossy pulsar
Btw for this event how much points do you recommend to stop at?
60k for the gold plates
ionic thorn
60k for the gold plates
Wow that is alot I dont think i can get that haha..
mossy pulsar
Again just do your best 
ionic thorn
The main fleet will be soyuz/alsace/NJ/anchorage (or agir if she is ready)/helen...
Okay will do (doubt my agir will be ready I will try)
mossy pulsar
U still want to level her so it is fine
Work on this fleet
Replace your current fleets and start leveling them
Especially alsace and anchorage
ionic thorn
O can I ask but why both anchorage and agir? Are they both not tanks?
mossy pulsar
Sry I kinda have to go but I have free time tonight (in 10-11 hours)
If u are awake ping me to remind me
If not we can do this tomorrow and I can help u better ok?
ionic thorn
Okay sure no worries , thanks so much
mossy pulsar
O can I ask but why both anchorage and agir? Are they both not tanks?
U want a tank for each fleet
There is 4 in opsi
ionic thorn
Oh okay
mossy pulsar
@random meadow
Long shot but if u are free can you help? 
It is for harby next month
I have given one fleet recommendation so far
If u are busy leave it I can do it later or tomorrow
ionic thorn
Thank you all for the help appreciate it!
random meadow
Alright let me think uh
August Strength has...
mossy pulsar
@ionic thorn
Pilica is the harby expert
I leave you in his good hands 
random meadow
Vanguard Hunter + 20s/15hit shield + FP Overload modules
ionic thorn
<@298823360068976641>
Pilica is the harby expert
I leave you in his good hands ...
Haha okay, thanks again!
ionic thorn
Vanguard Hunter + 20s/15hit shield + FP Overload modules
Hmm sorry, what does this mean?
ionic thorn
Hmm okay sorry i noob, what should I be looking at?
mossy pulsar
Dont worry about them too much
Pilica is just making some notes for himself I think
He will explain soon
random meadow
- Vanguard Hunter increases her damage against your vanguard by 50%; every version of Strength has this, and it just means she does a LOT of damage to your vanguard, so you need sturdy ships and particularly a good tank.
- The 20s/15 hit shield summons a shield that deflects 15 hits every 20s. This means your BBs must try to go faster and get in front of the shield (this affects equipment choice). Your CVs are fine as long as your vanguard has enough pellet damage to break the 15 hits.
- Firepower Overdrive massively boosts her FP after she falls under 30%, so you want to try and do your damage against her quickly because stacking with Vanguard Hunter, she melts your vanguard
mossy pulsar
Yeah u can brute force against most things just not harbiter
random meadow
So, with that in mind
ionic thorn
Okay got it!
random meadow
I wonder how plausible it is to get Agir to Dev 25 in time 
What Dev level is she currently?
ionic thorn
Dev 10 only
ionic thorn
Yup catchup is 3/150
random meadow
Give me a sec to double check the BP reqs
ionic thorn
How long does it take to finish 150 catchup usually?
random meadow
Uhhhhh
Good question, actually
I've never kept track of that
But I wanna say should be doable under a month
ionic thorn
Oh okay, I think i been doing anchorage for about 3 weeks to get 170? Roughly i think
random meadow
OK, that requires about 50 extra Agir BPs in that month which should be plausible
(To get her to Dev 25)
How is your equipment looking
ionic thorn
How is your equipment looking
Very bad
random meadow
ionic thorn
random meadow
Well, just to get an idea, can you switch on equips then show depot
random meadow
Nah, that's fine
Ngl, apart from missing some rudders and apparently no HPFCRs, that looks solid enough
Let me go get Renhex's tool and try and put something together, at least for the BB fleet
ionic thorn
It is this?
Oh okay sorry i mix up its the fire control radar
I can only craft 1 HPFCR
random meadow
Alright, so comparing with what you currently have
You need two HPFCRs (you said you already have one, you should be able to get one more in a month from research print drops)
And also two STAAGs (although one can do, just put any random gold AA gun on Agir, if necessary), which also drops from research
ionic thorn
Okay I should be able to get most of these gears
random meadow
Neat
That'll be your main fleet for the fight
Brennus is kind of a placeholder, because I didn't want to make assumptions about the ships you don't have MLB
ionic thorn
Okay I found out how to get all the required equipments just need to work towards them
random meadow
I would like to put Mogador in that last slot, actually, but requiring UR Bulins when you have Shinano, Vanguard, and Alsace waiting is obviously a no-no
Now, for the CV fleet (if possible, at least)...
ionic thorn
I would like to put Mogador in that last slot, actually, but requiring UR Bulins...
Okay so Brennus for now i guess?
I can MLB some SRs ships if needed
random meadow
Ye, Brennus for now is fine
... With Anchorage where she is, getting AvP ready in time is out of the question...
Do you have Ark Royal?
ionic thorn
Yes I have Ark Royal lvl 62
I have enough materials to retrofit her just lacking gold and levels
random meadow
OK, get her trained and levelled up because you definitely want some kind of slow support for the CV fleet
ionic thorn
OK, get her trained and levelled up because you definitely want some kind of slo...
Okay will do
random meadow
With that in mind, Enterprise + Sara can go with her
Then vanguard can be like Anchorage + Baltimore...
Do you have any Air Raid Assister?
ionic thorn
Haha I don't have good tanks =/
ionic thorn
Do you have any Air Raid Assister?
What is that? Is it a skill?
random meadow
Yep
Let me find you the list
Actually, tbh, the list doesn't help
I only want a few specific ships
Ariake, Yuugure, or Stephen Potter
OH
Or uh
Bellona
Bellona is doable
ionic thorn
I don't have Ariake, I have the other 3
ionic thorn
@@ these ships are actually useful?
ionic thorn
Stephen & Bellona are both close to MLB
random meadow
So they are not used too often
(And they are all generally worse than the current best vanguard Air Raid Assister, Kazagumo)
OK, for AA's sake, I'd go for Bellona
ionic thorn
Ah I see, I can't get Kazagumo right?
random meadow
Your equipment shopping list for CVs is going to be longer, though, I should warn
random meadow
Ah I see, I can't get Kazagumo right?
She's in perma light pool, but no guaranteed way of getting her right now
ionic thorn
Alright I will get Bellona up and running
random meadow
OK, let me go and see what I can come up with equipment-wise
But ye, you are definitely going to have to get more equipment for CVs
Fortunately, you are doing PR4 so you should get a good number of what I want
ionic thorn
Okay great
random meadow
I'll assume all three CVs at 120 then (just so I can sync them properly)
ionic thorn
Okay sure, think I should be able to get them lvl120 by end of next month at least
There's no rush to get other PR/DR ships right? I can just focus to level these ships for now?
random meadow
Oh I love a good sync
random meadow
There's no rush to get other PR/DR ships right? I can just focus to level these ...
No need, focus on what you have for now
Level and develop Anchorage and Agir
ionic thorn
Phew yeah, finally a break from CDC grinding
random meadow
I would suggest just like
Choosing a ship that matches the faction of at least some of the ships you're raising though
ionic thorn
How do you all work out the sync? Is there any website I can refer to?
random meadow
Even if you're not actively grinding, might as well let the gained experience contribute rather than go to waste
ionic thorn
Even if you're not actively grinding, might as well let the gained experience co...
True, maybe I will just level them in opsi
random meadow
Airstrike calculator here: https://traneptora.com/azur-lane/cooldown/airstrike/
Battleships: https://traneptora.com/azur-lane/cooldown/battleship/
Note that having the calculator is one thing, but it takes practice and experience to be able to work out syncs, so feel free to play with it, but you will find that initially getting a sync right is quite difficult
ionic thorn
Wow this looks abit difficult
random meadow
Yep
ionic thorn
So does sync only apply for CVs?
mossy pulsar
Dont talk about bb sync with pilica 
ionic thorn
Ops haha okay, I guess all these I will learn in time when I more familiar with everything
random meadow
Dont talk about bb sync with pilica <a:EssexRun:773288291872145410>
My Alsace-ian nightmares
ionic thorn
Btw what does the 150% and x3 means?
random meadow
150% is the main gun efficiency of the equipping ship
x3 means she has three main gun mounts, or fires the gun three times per gun cycle
Let me find that cute graphic
Never ceases to make me laugh
ionic thorn
Oh ok, but so for NJ how do I see she using 3 main guns?
random meadow
In-game, you can check on the limit break page
But easier to check on the wiki
For example
See the "BB Main Guns" row, with max # 3
That indicates she has 3 main gun mounts
Most BBs have 3, so it's a safe assumption
ionic thorn
Ah i see! I though is see through gear page in game
Was confused
Okay got it, make more sense to me now hahah thanks
random meadow
Ye, in-game pages can be a bit cursed for finding info lol
Most stuff is easier found on the wiki
ionic thorn
Haha to be honest this game have so much abbreviations I'm always confused
Or rather I don't have much experience with ships abbreviation
random meadow
Ye
If you didn't start the game already a naval nerd, the acronyms can be quite overwhelming
ionic thorn
Yep, It's cool though learning some stuff here and there
Btw for gears do you equip all the ships and just share the rarer ones? Or share the whole sets?
stark girder
if you're just starting out, sharing equips is very common in opsi
but ofc you still need atleast have a mob + boss fleet equipment sorted out
random meadow
Ye
ionic thorn
Oh okay , was wondering if should save some gold for now
random meadow
When I was newer, I had to spend a good minute preparing each fleet, swapping gear around for bosses
ionic thorn
Haha I see, I still don't get the AP / HE stuff
I see that people just say use AP for most content is enough? Just switch to HE for boss?
stark girder
its quite simple for BB main guns in that case, AP for medium/heavy armor enemy and HE for light armor enemy
bossing ofc
if you're mobbing BB, most people runs with a 457
if not using a 406mk6 if you're newer is fine too
ionic thorn
Oh okay, got it
For the event should I get more copies of SR? Or just get the BP & Cog Array?
stark girder
no, 1 is enough, just go for the other stuff
ionic thorn
no, 1 is enough, just go for the other stuff
Okay thanks!
All the common ships do we keep them? Or can we retire them after getting the collection rewards?
stark girder
although if you havent get L'Audacieux from gacha, you should farm T3, she can drop from there. only wait till last day to buy her if you couldnt get her to drop
stark girder

use them to enhance your other ships
ionic thorn

Oh i manage to get 1 drop ytd, so wondering if I should buy more from shop
stark girder
Oh i manage to get 1 drop ytd, so wondering if I should buy more from shop
lucky you, then no, do not buy more copies of her
ionic thorn
But seems like I should rush for more BP
Alright got it
Been using my bulin on ships for CDC so abit low on them now
stark girder
im not sure about the piority for the shop items, you can try asking gph or wait for someone more knowledgeable 
ionic thorn
im not sure about the piority for the shop items, you can try asking gph or wait...
Okay no worries
random meadow
Same tbh 
I don't read the prio guides
And my priorities would get me exiled
ionic thorn
O haha why ?
random meadow
Because quite a few of the things I went for reflect my own idiosyncratic preferences and most certainly do not reflect best practice
ionic thorn
Ohwell, this is a game afterall, just do what makes you feel good
Don't have to always min-max and follow best guide always
random meadow
Mhm
Just I don't want to recommend what I did willy-nilly because not everyone plays in the way I do
ionic thorn
I realize I have no good BC
random meadow
Hood is good, but you might need to level her a bit
ionic thorn
O there's such a short list of BC compare to BB
random meadow
Ye, there are very, very few BCs
ionic thorn
Trying to fit 1 BC for the event requirement
Guess I will go with Seydlitz for now again....
ionic thorn
Sorry so what gear should my other fleet have?
ionic thorn
Haha ya I couldnt find it
Great thanks so much!
How do I get another copy of the Beaver squad and Manjuu?
random meadow
Can't, those are one-of-a-kind
Just means that you have to swap those unique gears between fleets in between battles
ionic thorn
Okay sure! I'm going to work on leveling them first
For the gold usage first, should I use for gears or ships MLB/retrofits?
random meadow
The latter, since those tend to cost more
