2nd fleet

[stable urchin]

.

I used the "current" 2nd fleet only to get the requirements for divergent chessboard

[verbal linden]

critical dock space detected.. maybe you can try using dupes to MLB (lower rarities especially) - if insufficient coins/books just retire extras

[stable urchin]

yeah living on the edge xd

[verbal linden]

your gear really can use an upgrade.. at this point no more greys and blues (well except specific blue guns anyways)

[stable urchin]

I need one more Z1 to full lb Z1. should I retire the last 2 dupes?

[hot zodiac]

Are u farming any cdc atm?

[verbal linden]

you can always use purple bulins
they come by quite easily especially if you have been playing daily

[stable urchin]

what's a CDC? I've heard of it but what does it stand for?

[verbal linden]

combat data collection for research ships

[stable urchin]

no currently not. I don't have a single ship in development

[hot zodiac]

Can u do anchorage?

[stable urchin]

435/850

[hot zodiac]

General fleet recc I would do sth like

Penny,uni,zuihou fargo/flex DD (maybe kasumi meta? If u can mlb her)/watarase

Nelson, enty, sara, portland, helena, laffey for boss

[spiral spruce]

+10 the Nelson's MK6, the 2 Sara's helldivers, gold barracuda to replace Uni second plane

[hot zodiac]

Dont replace all your ships immediately
Leave portland tank for now maybe in mob

[stable urchin]

the baracuda also to +10?

[stable urchin]

should I also open my rainbow gear boxes?

[spiral spruce]

yeah

[stable urchin]

also opened all of the gold and purple boxes

[stable urchin]

I could buy her with a voucher

[verbal linden]

you could but i'd say its not worth it

[hot zodiac]

Up to you how u spend money
I would spend on cruise pass > oath rings/skins personally

Or dock space if u need it

[verbal linden]

speaking as someone who has bought everything else before pr4

[hot zodiac]

F2p gems always for dockspace

[stable urchin]

fair enough

[verbal linden]

i mean, sure its nice to timeskip some research stuff, only if you are really certain that you will still be playing thru hell and highwater

if you are juggling multiple gachas and /or* prefer f2p then save the money

[stable urchin]

yeah I'm playing multiple gachas but I do not spend money in most of them. I already bought some gems (the x2) till the 20 dollar one and the trade license.

[verbal linden]

as long as you keep a clear head and have a fixed budget you are good

[stable urchin]

so what would you buy if you were in my shoes?

[hot zodiac]

Prio cruise pass over trade license imo

[verbal linden]

cruise pass, trade license, lucky bags for anything you fancy

[hot zodiac]

Lucky bag is not worth imo unless u like gamba

The black friday lucky bag is nice since it was all L2D last year

[verbal linden]

and maybe at least 300 dock space

[stable urchin]

yeah I bought the FDG one and got U-556 xd

[stable urchin]

good investment

[hot zodiac]

Cruise pass is best value tbh
And double gem

After that it is a bit

[verbal linden]

yeah lol

[stable urchin]

I'm on 278 dock space rn and will expand the rest with guild coins

there goes 2k gems 😭

[stable urchin]

yeah just got the cruise pass

got 533mm quintuple trops and pure oxy tank in gold from the rainbow boxes

[hot zodiac]

I am not saying buy it everytime btw
But this time roma skin is very nice anyway

And she will rerun soon

[stable urchin]

so basically only but it if the skin is nice?

buy

[verbal linden]

i usually get cruise since i like the weapon / aux skins

[stable urchin]

fair

so what are we going to do abt that 2nd fleet?

[verbal linden]

#1284856545355497502 message

[hot zodiac]

I almost always get it but i just mean dont feel forced to buy anything

The game is very f2p

[stable urchin]

cheers

[hot zodiac]

Once amagi is mlb she can replace sara and sara/zuihou can do mob

[stable urchin]

I can mlb her rn if you want me to

I can buy one more bulin from the potp shop

proto

[hot zodiac]

Then u can do amagi instead of zuihou tbh

Also like nomis said work on your gear

I am on phone and cant get into details sry but do /equip and read ectl/sam’s guide

[stable urchin]

well I can't mlb her I need one more bulin

[verbal linden]

https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home yeah with the caveat that it only applies mostly to campaign and you gotta read what they do (top most does not mean most ideal)

.

ditch all greys

[hot zodiac]

U can get one from 30k in the milestone

And from cruise pass

And from the one time beginner mission

But zuihou also works

[verbal linden]

FML shop blocked at 3999 since i've hit monthly cap

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/User:Thebombzen/Safe_To_Scrap_MK_II is where you'll see not all gold are created.. equal

[stable urchin]

any gear recommendations regarding the 2nd fleet?

I've also got Hiei Meta and I could probably full lb her in the next few days

[verbal linden]

hiel meta feels kinda meh tbh. Not to say she is bad, but definitely better options exist , imo

[stable urchin]

but maybe better than penny?

[hot zodiac]

U can replace penny with her
She is a BC and will come in handy for hard mode restrictions if nothing else

[verbal linden]

eventually you will get odin to replace her

[hot zodiac]

If u are farming event dont get all her crystals from shop tho
She can drop from d3

[stable urchin]

yeah I can't reach D3 bc of the TRP requirements

[verbal linden]

Yeah save her other copies for last

when you done clearing shop

[hot zodiac]

Kasumi meta will help with that

Can use a third torp heavy vanguard if the feet I recommended isnt enough
Shigure works

[stable urchin]

should the 2nd fleet look like this?

[hot zodiac]

Hiei in flag when she has enough levels

[stable urchin]

what are we looking for gearwise?

[hot zodiac]

Use the guide nomis linked

[hot zodiac]

Sry just sux on phone

I can help later

[stable urchin]

It's a safe to scrap guide

[hot zodiac]

No the ectl link before

/equip in #bot-spam

There is sam’s guide and ectl

[stable urchin]

cheers

[verbal linden]

yup

[stable urchin]

should I full lb all the SSR's? Bc tmrw when I get 500 more cores from the weekIy challanges I can get one more UR bulin and switch Zuihou out for Amagi CV

[hot zodiac]

honestly can just wait in that case
zuihou is nice tech u want to raise her eventually anyway
but amagi will be more useful for now

assuming u can actually mlb her tomorrow

u need 2 bulins for last LB level remember

[stable urchin]

gotcha
