the 4 iris libre points
or another way!
spend sr bullins to some iris libre ship!
so whats worse?
spend core data
thank you
is the worse one
if u want more tech points there are 2 good options
1 is bearn from the merit shop
2 jda from wa
but for someone who is still in w10 why do u want to jump to pr5 
a DR5 ship is harder to mlb than the other ones mainly the DR4 ones
u need to understand first how the shipyard works to do the needed preparations
wanting to sacrifice currency for 4 tech points for a ship that u won't make it in a usuable state for idk how many months is an unwise move overalll
but u can start by doing war archive for jeanne d'arc
although it is heavily not recommended as u want to focus on the iron blood tech
i have her already
already like 2nd time limit broken
1 more i need
yeah the thing is you really don't have the resources to sapre to prepare for thatright now
also remember, PRs and DRs are pretty useless before dev 30
and it will take a few months to accumulate enough BPs to dev 30 a PR
also the wise choice to choose from the perma banner pity was another shinano to be closer to mlb her and not sima nor kron
so that is a heavy account blow u did there
saint louis wasnt
tbh
yea true
than the strength of a non dev 30 saint louis
this game is brute force by overlevel until u can't 
well

(i want to use her so badly fr)
not sure how this kit is applicable in a specific content
most likey for new players where she can sink enemies easily
i was thinking about w14 but TBH sinking enemies there might not be as easy but overall dps oriented ca
with a light armor
so then?...
then what
?
are u still using these comps ?
comps is a plural of comp which is an abbreviation from team composition
generally u want to build 2 comps starting from w9 and stick with them until u finish w12
any change u make will just slow u down
yea i have 2 fleets
if u are ok to be slowed down u can do whatever u like
u can change spee with kursk if u want
and yes i am using still the fleet but...i changed for now only shimikaze for javellin
idk
with shimikaze the fleet is faster somehow for dodging and so
sima
but when i will go to again world 11
i am using again javellin
i am just using her for now to level her up
sima = island in japanese
note that si = shi
if its okay even
yes leveling them to 120 is a standard route that way u have 5 level advantage in 12-4
ur first goal is to make 12-4 safe to be able to farm there whatever ship u like
and i am glad urs dont have that limit like every other ships have
like only max level then u need lmb
i am really happy for that
yes
so i can also farm implacable
it doesn't matter for urs better to leave them until u can invest bulins into them or planning to do it in the very near future like 1-2 weeks
or else it is a waste of time and oil
well
at least when they are mlb
or so
they have at least some levels
and they are not lvl 1
xd
u can use the dorm
thats maybe slow way
idk
but works too ofc
and rn for fun kinda i did this so i can have more points and why not
i need submarines too
the first thing u want to try to do is to try to understand how a functional team is built then based on that u can adapt ur choices for various stuff like which ships to use or when to mlb them
we are here trying to help u to do this for now by offering as much flexibility and clearing the future vision 
if u need a sub for the weekly raid then u want to use the starter ijn one
i have 2 sr submarines already
suchi has a video for it and u want to stop at lvl 65 for a while
wiki page: https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Daily_Raid#Supply_Line_Disruption
How to solo level 65 raid with a level 70 starter submarine I-58.
u-96
5 min easy to understand video
this is fun
portland 0 damage fr
also yes rn i am doing all stages or trying at least
to get them to 3 stars
all of em
just before pls
kursk good or bad
😭
like maybe she could be better than chien wu...
but also a thing
when i would uh
get a temporary employment?
or get to a high school
i would maybe buy gems anyway
but like only for cheap id say
idk
and well to anyway say
bismarck is just
❤️
okay lets do so
oath for bismarck
sorry yall
yk what
lemme use still bismarck from now
fr
she's not particularly good
well to late now but if you're f2p I would discourage spending gems on anythiing otehr than dorm slots and dock space
wdym
ah alr
dock and dorm slots are basically your quality of life helpers in AL
i.e. they making playing the game more comfortable
and you have a very limited income of gems uf you're a free to play player
yes
but well
i may change it soon
to spend like sometime
like from time to time
because of google rewards
like 1$ sometimes
for 60 gems
but since this would be first ever purchase then 120 gems
or i can just buy more
to have the bonus!
my rule of thumb would be
if you're gonna get rings and skins
don't spend gems you haven't bought with real money
only 1 more left
also for it i have 3/5
so yea
i need somehow to get 2 more but idk howww
ibuki is home
so well
what gear
or from who
@ancient wolf what gear on ibuki if you know
or from who
for the torp slot this is the prioritized one
i will take one from portland i guess
use this one
also i can have portland already on retrofit so i will have more bonuses
so which one
oh yea
i dont have the 1st one
anti-air?
this one i can use?
yeah works as a poverty option
toolbox and an eva gear
the blue ones
wait the steering gear or
what
or i can just do this
she would be replacement for eugen anyway so
the washing machine is on the main tank
boiler?
usually the boss fleet
washing machine is the rudder
i dont have that maybe?
OH
it doesnt look like washing machine to me sowyyy
😭
well?
yes already made augment
my money gone
the washing machine is on the main tank
leave ibuki for a while until she is dev 30
well shes normal level 56
but i will replace her for eugen
could work for boss fleet
if u want to push campaign with her she will sink in 5 seconds
still very far
*12 now after more enchant
keep coining her for 2 more weeks
i found i have still blueprints
m wait
is she getting the dev level by playing with her?
oh
originally it was by only blueprints that u get from the research then they made it easier by the catchup and coining
note that it is highly not recommended to use any of the catchups before pr4
on the bottom right
i used it
there are 2 mechanics
rip 1500 protocores
i used also for louis
not a big deal
but u have to save the rest
wait uh what 1500 protocores
wait what
i used the blueprints in research
i had focus on her
when a ship reaches dev 30 u can analyze the remaining prints
ah yes
to get protocores from them
SR prints give 5x each
faint stimulation
UR give 20x
oh so i can just
fate simulation is another thing
use normal not used for anyone prints also?
u need to understand how the system works
between coining and having ready blueprints in ur stash the system will prioritize ur blueprints over ur coins
u can't choose with which method u want to increase the dev level if u have them both
it is always bp > coins
if u use the catchup to get 300 bp for a non dev 30 ship u have no other choice but to use them to make the ship dev 30
thus losing the opportunity to analyze them for protocores later
yea
but also pr means the whole series
yes
so in general if u want to start a catchup start doing it from pr4
anchorage agir hakuryuu
u can also use fdg but it will stall a little bit getting the ur gear from the ship
don't u have implacable ?
why the role redundancy then
get something that will cover an important role in the fleet
avp could do
anchorage is something that will stick with u everytime u want a solid tank
do u know what avp does ?
i dont have tech points
slowing enemies
where is this debuff useful ?
and for avp
i have like almost all finished, i just need like 1.8M more xp for iron blood and i have her
boss fleets
yeah always do whatever u can do
and try to not sleep on the other factions
mlb can lead to a nice boost just need coins and bulins
yes
well
or hah other way
i can have avp
then agir
but also
having shinano mlb and implacable also
so kind of 3 good aircrafts
yeah cv bossing is something that won't be achievable easily
that is why early on it is better to ignore them or make them a secondary bossing fleet and use the BBs instead
well she could maybe replace enty at some point prob. so she can slow them down and bbs are more accurate
it will take a lot of time because raising these ships is a time consuming process 
yes
usually u want to finish all the pr4 ships - marco but for someone who has implacable it is better to skip avp for someone else in the next pr series
and before all these fdg
fdg then agir anchorage
then see what u can unlock after gathering more techpoints here and there
fdg would be my pr2 ship yea

but um
i cant make marco also
and well idk the avp could be like maybe also good for 2nd fleet somehow
i dont know
that is why i said -marco
-\ is minus
when u reach w12 u can level whatever u like
usually by that time unicorn will be maxed so u want to run 3 leveling backliners
and usually they have to match the cdc of the ship that u are researching
so if u are doing avp u have to use 3 iron blood backliners
or one of them
well rn i went to research roon to give her few points to have her also unlocked
shes also close
u need to focus in 1 goal then do whatever it takes to make it
the most obvious goal is to go to w12
that is where u can get enough exp and coins to progress everything
if u will spend on side stuff before w12 it is just going to slow down the process
well yea but
if i should level
some ships
to match the level
implacable or shinano
but maybe shinano
at this point
ignore them all
why i cant
did u finish 11-4 ?
shop me the information tab
what
press the back arrow
ohh
there is the information button on the bottom
yea
do whatever they tell u in the mission tab
um sure
but why i cant level up the shinano or something so she can then be same level or so
better to level up the current fleet so when u are able to go to the next world u can beat immediately
generally w11 is a lot better
shinano's main power comes form her planes
all her skills are useless in ur case
without mlb she does 40% less damage
basically unicorn level of damage
if they have the same level
so
can kaga
be replaced by shinano?
like i would replace shinano for her
so then unicorn and shinano
in mob fleet
@ancient wolf
pls
answer this first
don't repeat the same question
ah
by me
i think yes
by the tab also
she does lower damage than even the bb
and unicorn just being mvp still
and sorry
can u show her gear ?
only kaga
unicorn has same levels gear
keep farming an enhancing
unicorn tends to get mvp because of her skill
without mlb shinano does 40% less damage
i mean
should i try her
like 1 time on some stage
in the world 10-4 as example
and which one deals more dmg?
if u want to test u can
yeah forget about it leave shinano for now until she can be mlbed
the only backliners who can be run at 5☆ are nothing but hakuryuu and nakhimov at dev 25
so not using shinano
i wanted to use her fr
that is why using the pity for shima was kinda of an oupsie move
u should have listened to the helpers then 
i know i am dummyyyy
i just want to use shinano
or implacable
queen elizabeth meta / normal also fr
because i have the meta
qem is very early to do now
and shes bad right...
it is one of the hardest meta fights to prepare for
well
u first start with something like souryuu meta
i have her already
i wanted queen elizabeth itself for so long
next meta i want is nagato
or normal one at least
yea shes cool
ig
but also
i think maybe the andrea doria is a bit weak so
should i just try to mlb one of these
ideally this is how u want to fight the meta showdowns https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1321982185548546048/1352652932394254396/image.png?ex=68070176&is=6805aff6&hm=8d5d6690e5f190c3830faae46e9617b782e1455603b078c0d2ed63b0cf5e19e4&
wow
next one is u want to do at least 50% of the boss hp reliably so u can 2 shot
oh strimm has started 
ur ships have been slacking on levels 
as i said earlier just mlb when u need tech points
prioritize the elite ones then blue
leave the SR ones the last
nelson
easy to mlb because elite but also needs retro
queen elizabeth also
i used them on deutschland
or well
u have the weekly missions
i have warspite
yes these
i m not sure about how the SR BBs function
i was born in a spoiled era but still i used nelson
when you retrofit warspite she becomes ur
basically i used uvh as my first bb after starting with penny
then nelson fdg
i didn't get a BB medal shop for a very long time that is why i didn't get hood until 6 months into the game
well
do it after 4 years for collection
4 YEARS?
well sandy
half a bulin for someone who is starving for them is a bad idea
better to put it into something that has a good return
sandy is a good return
i did it after 8 months of gameplay to do w15
u have 3 choices nelson retro hood or royal oak
cuz shes close to mlb
why not her
if shes even close to mlb
1 star
only
but i mean uh...
i could mlb royal oak
shes cool anyway
just if mass before or not
since soon i can mlb her with weekly quests
or use it instead on the royal oak
now read royal oak first skill and spot the difference
something major between them
yea i see
what did u spot as difference between the skills
faction buffs are memes most of the time
royal oak the dd
the only relevant ones are of shinano and yk2
which could work for javellin
oh wait
even for shimikaze
gud
well then
royal oak right
u elegantly missed the major part
yes this also
but thats a good thing right
this is the only reason why any BB that doesn't fire a barrage is 🚮
ahaa
the other day i recommended someone to use raff at 3☆
and level her red skill
i wanted raff
so badly
but no luck
:c
well royal oak then yay
now i need another bullin
and coins
wel
u want to learn how to compare between the ships
could she be used even at 5star? for replace for andrea
why did i put royal oak the last one
thats why i get rather help
since i am dumb
if u read what the description says it will be easy to tell
she has barrage?
ah
the condition of firing the main gun is way easier to fulfill than being hit
especially if u mount fast reload guns
mainly this one
this is called the barrage gun
because most ships fire barrages when they fire the gun
it is between hood and nelson
nelson doesn't have a 100% barrage i think 
well
did i choosed royal oak and lmb her to know hood is better anyway
or what
i am just lost
it is better to save the gold bulins and invest into nelson 
and she is a lot cheaper to raise to 120
so i choosed bad right...
but leveling them up from the ground with ur speed of farming might be not a good idea
ur are kinda slow 
slow players should stick with what they have
i knowww
b-but i am trying!
i m in #jp-spring-2025-livestream-discussion now
hopefuly yea
side healer and can be used to low cost
using a side healer can be mandatory or a luxury depending on the team comp and content
what about amagi but not the cv
if i should buy her if she gets reroll?on may
for the 80 medals
Yes or no?
Well i can have akashi rn xd
i have akashi
and south dakota
so what now?
is even south dakota somehow good
by her skill of double damage
No
You can but she won't be anything other than tech
:c
she's old and been powercrept
same with kaga and akagi
wouldnt it be
better idea
to run franklin
instead of kaga
xd
if you could MLB her yeah
also
enhance her and you'll be fine
shes on max level
she's not the best but certainly not bad enough to warrant replacing
*mlb
so with here help i instead want to go with royal oak but 1 more lmb away
I mean actually enhance her, and getting her skills leveled
Royal Oak is probably a worse choice tbh
so i fucking spended 2 sr bullins
because @ancient wolf said its a good idea
i-i...
if 1 more fricking mistake
i am using queen and thats it
no more
maybe the meta one cuz better
yea should i get to mlb queen meta instead
xd
just stick with Doria META until W12
sjfhjdfjuja
you don't have the time/resources nor the need frankly to switch out ships at this stage
but why i cant replace doria for some other bb
The fleets I originally reccomended are sufficient for the task
dont i have good thing that is better
just get more levels on them, enhance their gear, etc and they'll be fine
because W12 is the best spot to farm in the game pretty much
so the sooner you get there the better
once you do, then you can start looking into some more long term replacements
really nothing better?...
I mean Nelson retro yeah
but like I said
Doria is fine for the job of getting to W12
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
frankly, you'd lose more trying to replace her than just sticking with her until you get to W12
well i got lvl 75 finally
but since well royal oak is 1 more away from mlb
then i dont know
Enhance her, level up her skills, level her up, etc
well she's still gonna be inferior in levels
like
so don't bother with putting more into her
what
yea i am trying
and is queen meta better
at some point?
and also got this from event if its any good
yipe shes better
yeah it's a good CA gun
and what about nagato if not amagi
no
well on who to put it then
one of your CAs that's not Saint Louis, doesn't really matter which
sure
nothing that would be worth leveling and replacing Doria until after you get to W12
and even then Nelson retro would be better
not like the others are gonna be much easier
you're severely lacking in gold bullins
and i doubt you have much in the way of XP packs either
100 of them now
for level up
like
so as I said, leveling up another BB to replace doria right now is not practical and doesn't make sense
so at world 12
when i would finish it
i must still use to also next worlds doria or not
depends on how much you play really
if you're active shouldn't take more than a week or 2
no, at W12 you can start looking at a more comprehensive reworking of your fleets
because you have a good place to level them up and farm coins
I still farm W12
well
um yes also
mind if you show the quests for shipyard 2
i dont understand from the wiki
what part don't you understand
what quests would be there
and
how the speed up would work
i dont understand this
and still how it works
when i get to shipyard to
if i have again all the pads again or
more stages in world i need
i am lost
(the parantheses) indicate the reward for that seaosn
so for the PR4 mission
you need to build a PR4 ship
and you'll get 30 DR4 prints for completeing them
well
since like i would have shipyard 2 as next
which is well
fdg then
how that would work with quests
that i can collet some already
or
the quests are different
the missions are the same for each season with some minor variation
the variations are noted in the parantheses
it also tells you which ones are retroactive
once you start them yes
and if i have already promised ship, do i need to again or i would get it anyway
do you know what retro-active means?
no
ahaa
so that means
i would only need
to do 30 daily challenges
30 hard modes
100 commissions
30 researchs
20 ships
gud
maybe not that bad
yes
well i am still few away
and these last i would use on roon
and i would have roon then
like soon she is anwyay ready
but for now i can switch probably to develop fdg more
did you use combat datapacks for that?
sigh
always convert those to prototype cores
grinding XP is the easy bit
espeically once you get to W12
for me not that much
that's why you want to get to W12
becomes a much simpler and quicker task
shes already just
when next pass season again i can make her
if i wont get her sooner xd
my dude
just trust me, get to W12 and then see how fast teh XP grind is
you can use just about anything in W12 with ease
the ships are high level arent they
like that's my farming fleet for W12 right now
worst case scenario, you use Unicorn
well of course not
but once you get to W12
you'll start to be able to generate XP packs better
you'll also have more slots in the dorm
you also do know you only ever need main fleet or vanguard XP right
for the combat data collection missions
so running a full faction fleet is utterly pointless
what
?
wdym
like i can have it as a 3rd fleet
not running it
and it would anyway work or what
I mean when it actually comes time to grind
I got the impression that's what you were going to use
and no it wouldn't work as is
even a 1 LB UvH and Elbe at level 90 would have no issues farming in W12 on safe
only these 2 or wha
my dude
I've leveled hundreds of shitty ships in W12
they'll be fine
the idk was for idk if elve is a ship
and its really safe to use only these 2
that's the worst case scenario in case you need to run Unicorn as a carry
what no
utterly pointless
Unicorn is the most you'll ever need for W12 on safe
and once your gear situation starts to get a bit better you won't even need her
well
my goal is to then prob
get to w12 as you say
get 4 tech points somehow for iris libre
farm brest
and i have a good ship
okay only
to hopefuly clear something
if i was correct
in my mind
is nakhimov the strongest aircraft carrier in the game?
there is no universaly strongest ship in the game
it's always situationally dependent
by power idk
just by me nakhimov should be the strongest
strongest bb Zwei / Alsace maybe
WHAT THE FRICK
strongest is always gonna depend on what you're fighting
they might be the strongest for an fight but far from all of them
and besides, you would never use any of them solo anyway
i-i want nakhimov
same with zwei / alsace
i want to use them in future if i obtain them
I'm not saying they're bad
I'm just saying they're not the best for everything
if you want a short list of what the best fleets are usually composed from
BB: Musashi, Alsace, Soyuz, Kearsarge, Bismarck Zwei, Raffaello*
CV: Amagi CV, Shinano, Hakuryu, Nahkimov, Implacable, Yorktown 2, Fritz Rumey, Unicorn, Aquila, Volga, Zuiho, Independence
CL: Plymouth, San Diego, Shimanto, Jintsuu META, Helena, Auroa
DD: Z52, Mogador, Laffey 2, Eldridge retro, Kazagumo
CA/CB: Hindenburg, Unzen, Agir, Brest, Napoli
wowie
hidenburg is also my goal
mogador and alsace ofc
when rerun next year
volga is also yay
i want to get volga somehow so yea
amagi is also on my list
and zwei for sure
early r100> doesnt matter
javellin retro done soon
+i can also but with the prototype core data the crown
of her
DONE
FIRE
@turbid pier MAYBE BAD QUESTION BUT, when i get little anchorage, should i use her
How should we know how good or bad she is
um okay but like
when we can say
little fdg compared to fdg
it can still be good right?...
so this could work probably also right?
but maybe by the little circle i dont know
That doesn't tell us anything about the skills or equipment slots for one
Two, those aren't even accurate
but well like
little fdg and normal fdg. When i would had little fdg i could use her because she could be good right?
so maybe same could go for this?
or is little fdg just trash
Little FDG is not good
really not?
so this could also not be good?
i wanted to have at least little one so it could work...
BUT MAYBE IT COULD BE REPLACE FOR SPEE!!
if i dont get new stuff even before
i want all of the new girls
so ye
also next little question
what is the difference bewteem spee and deutschland
they are 1:1 same or
maybe bad question but, if i would have get the new cv sr on mlb i can replace her for kaga right? even if we dont know her powers but like from the graph idk... @turbid pier
what SR CV
oh
OH I DIDNT READED LIGHT CRUISER
SO SORRY
well um
she could maybe replace portland if so right
portland retro
from graph
and somehow only their name on wiki xd
we have no idea about her stats or skills
and by the graph maybe?
and we won't untuil we get the datamine in about 8 hours or so
that tells us nothing
they're not consistent at all
idrk
