i can do you one better

[frigid owl]

the fastest thread maker in the west

[hot mural]

I can post screenshots here, right?

[dawn shoal]

yes

[spring roost]

yeah

as long as they are on topic you can post any number

no imgur needed

[hot mural]

nice, gimme a sec, I'll get them

[near glacier]

No timeout either wooo

[patent haven]

unlimited screenshot can be sent.. without getting deleted

[spring roost]

unless they are off-topic

[hot mural]

here you go, wasnt sure about sorting .-.

[stray lichen]

Swap portland with dido position

[spring roost]

using port and minneap in the same fleet is redundant

swap minneap and helena

and run minneap tank in that fleet

[stray lichen]

Seap minea with sandy or helena

[spring roost]

also swap saratoga and unicorn

[near glacier]

How about we ask him which fleet he's using for mobbing and bossing, and then give fleets directly instead of all the swap x and swap y

[spring roost]

no

[dawn shoal]

i see a uni dupe that could be used for Limit break

[hot mural]

kinda using both for both tbh... I havent had any problem doing that yet, and I don't feel like I have enough units to have dedicated mobbing and bossing fleet, but maybe with some help I could 😛

[near glacier]

Your ship options look really neat for a new player tho

[hot mural]

also using both fleets for both made it easier to get 3* on stages early on 😛

[hot mural]

there is a lot of that unfortunatly, but I don't have the gold for it 😂

I did do the swaps you guys suggested tho

so fleet 1 vanguard is now Min-Laf-San

and unicorn is in fleet 1

[near glacier]

Alrighty
Fleet 1 can be mob, fleet 2 can be boss.
Fleet 1:
Graf Zep, JB, Unicorn + Minne, Laffey, London(retrofit London ASAP)
Fleet 2:
Srl, Saratoga, Warspite+Portland, Helena, San diego
You can swap around sandy and london however you want

[spring roost]

^^^

dido gets the boot

[near glacier]

Das boot

[patent haven]

reminds me of that 4-koma where she's sulking about getting booted

[hot mural]

could I use Dido instead of London untill I get Brem or Saint Louis? kinda trying to retrofit portland, laffey and helena 😅

[near glacier]

Dido needs a few hms ships to be worth using, but Uni and Warspite almost never wanna be together. London is a lot less picky about her friends, while her retro is also just a straight up better ship

[spring roost]

yeah

brem/saint could replace london

[patent haven]

dido imo is specialized for full HMS fleet

at least 5 ships. but 6 will be the most optimized

[near glacier]

Yeah, sure. Dido can hang around until you get Brem, that'd be great.
Tho you can definitely retro London before Helena. Helena retro isn't high priority

[dawn shoal]

unless u cant stand the art

[patent haven]

helena doesn't need retrofit. her base form is already great

[hot mural]

doesnt London use same as Portland tho?

[near glacier]

Her skill stacks max out at 4

[near glacier]

London is a dps boat, Portland is a tank

[dawn shoal]

i think he meant retrofit materials

[hot mural]

oh... I'm just using the tier list to see what they are, since I don't know them by heart yet, and Portland, Minne and London were in the same category, so figgured they did the same 😅

[hot mural]

yeah

[near glacier]

Ouuu, yeah. Get Portland done first, she's definitely gonna be more valuable

[hot mural]

SRL is Shangri-La I'm getting?

[near glacier]

Yep

[hot mural]

also a quest so I can get Enterprise 😛

updated

[near glacier]

The tags on top of the ship names indicate what they specialize in. Also worth going through the description for the ships. Portland has a tank tag, while Minne has a mob tag and a tank tag
London is untagged ig, but that's because they don't bother with a "does damage" tag

Looks good

[hot mural]

my gear is probably way out of wack tho

[near glacier]

Just move warspite to the middle

[hot mural]

oh, gotcha, I put them in the order you posted 😛

[dawn shoal]

well u can always show us your depot and maybe we can spot something if you want

[hot mural]

and then I yeet dido when I get Brem or saint

[near glacier]

Yep, yeet as soon as ya get brem. Saint Louis will take time ig, unless you're already close to dev30

[spring roost]

yeah your saint is gonna take a bit

only 1/5th of the way there

[dawn shoal]

can u click equipped to on so we see what your ships use?

[hot mural]

oh, didnt know about that lol

[spring roost]

actually for gear better off for you to just screenshot your ships with their equipped gear as well from that screen

[dawn shoal]

ow god double fulmar sara

[spring roost]

only one purple helldiver is a huge huge no no

[hot mural]

._.

[near glacier]

leaving poverty equips to y'all, I've totally forgotten what blue and purple stuff is good enough. Real boomer hours

[dawn shoal]

i guess u dont have anymore boxes to open rn?

[hot mural]

I have 16 purples 🙂

[dawn shoal]

open them

[dawn shoal]

hallelujah helldiver

[dire gust]

helldiver pog

[hot mural]

yay 🥴

[patent haven]

that's actually a nice one to get

[hot mural]

actually, could I fill whatever spot london would take with the 3rd annivarsary invitation ticket?

[patent haven]

triple 283 is also good for heinrich when she get a rerun in the future

[near glacier]

It's the 3rd best divebomber in the game, in spite of being purple.
The 2nd best is a minor upgrade and requires a big investment
The best one is the rainbow db from PR4 and I'm willing to bet good money that nobody has a single copy of that yet

[spring roost]

nope

london/brem are better

[dawn shoal]

imo put that helldiver onto sara in place of one of the fulmars

[patent haven]

flling as in getting dps or replace her with something more useful?

[hot mural]

what do I get with ticket then? xD

[spring roost]

lets see

[dawn shoal]

u can get enty

[spring roost]

honestly id get hood or enty

and get the other from the rookie exam

[patent haven]

his CV isn't good yet so i can't recommend sirius tbh

[hot mural]

I'll be getting ENty from new player missions in maybe a week or so

[spring roost]

yeah so then get hood now

[dawn shoal]

so get hood

[near glacier]

More like Hood or Washy. He's getting free enty.

[dawn shoal]

unless u gunning for one of them for waifu reasons

[hot mural]

nah, not really, all the best wifus seems to be in lab >,>

[near glacier]

Just pick the one you like from Hood or Washy, they'll basically have you set for mobbing till w11 at least.

[patent haven]

actually imo, max limit break enty will be a nice start than getting variety of ships. but then again you do need some BB too since i only see warspite and JB

[hot mural]

yeah, warspite and JB are my only ones, untill now, since I picked Hood

[patent haven]

a bit of info

[hot mural]

I'm gonna try to get the lab ones asap tho

[patent haven]

for world 11, you would need BB's. but starting world 12 you will need more cv's than bb

[hot mural]

If I remember correctly I heard somewhere that BB's are the biggest damage dealers?

[patent haven]

so you would need to prepare a bit of shift

[patent haven]

depending on armor type. vs light or medium. BB's are better because of AP gun for medium and HE gun for light

for heavy CV is better

[hot mural]

I just finished 6-1 😂

[near glacier]

BBs are the best against light and ships with massive AVI
CVs are the best against heavy.
Medium is close enought that you can use whatever.

[patent haven]

oh medium is close enough?

[dawn shoal]

stop exaggerating u can clear w13 with 4 cv's and its still too early for him to prepare for w13 of all things

[patent haven]

i did say more cv's than bb's

[near glacier]

@hot mural don't think about w13 at all for now. W12 is doable anyways and you can take your time once you get there to prep for w13. Since 12-4 is still the most preferred xp farming spot.

[hot mural]

almost halfway there

is it worth doing the "Fully limit break x ship" event missions? .-.

[patent haven]

you can try getting 8-4 and farm some ships to decent level.

[near glacier]

Medium is close, skewed a bit towards CVs because the raw numbers in ryuusei spam are stupid high.

[dawn shoal]

if u want the chat frame then yes, but thats the only reason to do that so unless u into that dont bother

[hot mural]

also, what is "medium"?

[near glacier]

Not really, unless you want chat frames
I haven't done a single one

[dawn shoal]

armour type

[patent haven]

its just for a flair of chat frame its not a big deal if you miss it

[near glacier]

/armor

[patent haven]

xD

[dawn shoal]

bots dont work here flower

[near glacier]

Fuck

[spring roost]

its also /armour

[dawn shoal]

#bot-spam message

[spring roost]

here

for reference

[hot mural]

ah, I was thinking I could do it to buy Bremerton from the event shop 😛

[patent haven]

armour.. kinda bamboozled me for a second

[near glacier]

The limit break ones don't give shop points

[dawn shoal]

no points for bremmy are from ginding maps and the daily mission of clear hard mode/ 15 wins/3 ships built\

[hot mural]

oh

lol, my bad 😅

[spring roost]

those max limit break points are for the event frame

which you shouldn't focus as a new player

[near glacier]

Tho looking at your previous haul, you can skip the 3 ships built quest
As long as you farm event stages, you'll have the points anyways and you'll want to save the cubes for future events

[spring roost]

im only doing them so i have an excuse to get rid of bulins

[patent haven]

AL is one of the games that relies more on grinding than spending. the ships from the events is rng but mostly it relies on you grind the equipments and levels and stuff

[hot mural]

I think I will do the 3 per day, just for a chance to get Brem and Intrepid, then I can buy other stuff in the event shop instead ^^ (like equipment)

[near glacier]

Alrighty, anyways you have quite a lot of cubes incoming from rookie quests and map clears. Don't need to worry too much about saving up.

[patent haven]

vt-18 is also nice for you, a nice parallel torpedo bomber

[dawn shoal]

btw if u are interested the chat frame looks like this but imo dont bother with it

[hot mural]

I have 132 cubes and 109 finishers 😛

[spring roost]

ignore the purple equipment as new player

[patent haven]

do you have coins?

[hot mural]

2k 😎

ballin

[patent haven]

oh god

[near glacier]

You'll never run out of finishers. Nobody runs out of finishers if they play regularly

[hot mural]

coins is a real struggle >,>

[patent haven]

132 cubes but 2k coins. that's a huge oof there

[hot mural]

and I never run out of oil, I'm at 34k or so

[patent haven]

go send some ships doing oil comission

the 1000 or 1200 oil if your commander level is higher than 35 i think

[hot mural]

commander level is 55 now ^^

[patent haven]

34k oil can be turned into a decent amount of coins. and since you are rather a new player. pulling constantly is nice because there are good ships to get that can be build

[hot mural]

ah, the one that gives me like 3.8k coins?

[spring roost]

yeha

costs 1000 or 1200 oil

its worth doing if you wanna level ships on the side and get coins as a bonus

[hot mural]

fair ^^

is there anything else I should know, or am I good for now? 😅

[patent haven]

you have a lot of oil to spare too

[hot mural]

Indeed 😛

[patent haven]

you should be good tbh, peeps already explained a lot of stuff to you

[hot mural]

I think so too 😄 is there a particular way I should do the event maps tho?

[spring roost]

based off your levels

try and get to c2

[hot mural]

like S.P/E.X what is that?

[spring roost]

sp/ex are hard stages

sp gives 800 currency per run once a day

ex is just to flex on peasents theres not a good reward

[hot mural]

so harder then hard then 😛

[patent haven]

sp are special stage, EX is just for peeps that enjoy playing touhou

[hot mural]

so it would make sense to try to clear hard and SP every day then

[spring roost]

yeah

but to do sp you gotta beat d3

and with your fleets im sorry to say but thats impossible

[patent haven]

remember that if you can't beat bosses but done the mobs, you can't go to next level because you have to get 100% of the stage

[dawn shoal]

yeah honestly i struggle to see u clearing C3 already but as sam said C2 is something u could aim for

[hot mural]

oh..

how long does the event last?

[dawn shoal]

2 weeks

[hot mural]

,> probably not enough time?

[spring roost]

clearing sp shouldn't be the goal for you

for you, you wanna get enough shop points to get brem, vt-18, casablanca, and bluegill (10k point accumulation)

and then use anything leftover to buy tech boxes

[hot mural]

what type is casablanca?

[dawn shoal]

cvl

[hot mural]

ah, okay

[spring roost]

and then ofc try and pull everything in the event pool, if only for collection anyway

[hot mural]

yeah, I don't mind if I don't get the event ships, but just the fact that the odds on the event banner is better then the others is the reason I saved

[patent haven]

take it easy with 3 daily pulls

[hot mural]

even if I have cold to spare?

[dawn shoal]

yeah as much as i like all of the ships in the event

[spring roost]

yeah this event is not worth throwing all your cubes into

[dawn shoal]

they arent high enough prio to use up cubes

especially that next month is jp anniversary and most possibly a UR in the banner

[hot mural]

oh, okay, guess I'll stick to 3x day then ^^

wish I could get New Jersey

got 4 rings waiting for her

eyy, got Z1 from event map 😄

[spring roost]

well if you need anything come back

[hot mural]

will do ^^

[patent haven]

sam is a walking encyclopedia when its about azur lane
