I have built 141 ships from the limited construction and I am still missing Otto von Alvebsleben, I have built a Bismarck Zwei, 3 U-556 METAs and 4 Regensburgs. Where the hell is my Otto von Alvensleben

I am in the same boat, 4 Zweis, 2 556 Metas, and T E N REGENSBURGS. Not a singular Otto.

Same. Found it a bit ironic Bismarck Zwei was the first one that come from the even banner. Not much resources left too, so I'm giving up on Otto. At least I got Regensburg.

Is the locked crystal in the meta shop for U-556 meta right? If so, is it better to wait to unlock than buy it from the event shop?

Just buy it in the event shop; the event currency is easily farmable while meta fragments are only obtainable primarily from having excess crystal chips or the occasional weekly rewards as of now And there's the one-time only reward but that's it

Buy it from the event shop, outside of getting excess copies of U-556 meta on this event, you can only get crystal fragment from limited one-time mission

> you can only get crystal fragment from limited one-time mission you get some from the weekly and arbiter and possibly other places that I'd need to check the patch notes.

I really hate when real life interferes with my ability to enjoy a limited-time event. My parents made me move all my stuff to get the carpet replaced, and I wasn't able to enjoy the beach event. By the time I go back to my usual routiene, the event will be over. I have sleep problems that cause me to usually be too tired to immerse myself in things. I was hoping to save that even for a time I'll be less tired. I guess I'll have to skip all the event dialogue, and go back to it when I'm in a better state.

Finally got Regensburg today, that made my day. Now I can start hoarding cubes again.

I got Bismarck twice yet I can’t get Regensburg, only a couple hours and 20 cubed left, I’m gonna be sad if I don’t have her by the end of the event.

So where were U-556 anti metamorphosis mechanism cutscene like Kronk one?

It'll probably only work when the shipgirl is really loosing herself by forgetting everything she fought for and giving into their more feral state like kronk did.

Are you talking about the "special pull animation"? I think that only plays when you build her, but if you have her, you can check it in her archive/details.

I am taking about safety mechanism, which shows shipgirl, a massage from Anzeel and Commander? when she starts turning info META.

I don't know it, then, sorry.

This event also got codes too? Is there a post there where it was decoded?

https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/13uo8w4/decoded_hexadecimal_text_from_conflux_of/ it's also in this thread if you scroll down far enough

I wonder if there's a connection between Tower, who seems to use a Virtual Avatar, and the Event "Virtual Tower" because....that seems to be what Tower is, she's a Virtual Siren, a "Virtual Tower"

I have a dupe Regensburg. What do I do with it? What happens if the original is max limit?

Use the dupe to limit break to the original And if that is done then just retire for medals; there's no practical reason to raise dupes

If you have a Dupe and don't want it then just retire her

is there some conversion for the surplus of wood/ore/flowers into coins or whatever? i bought all in the store and crafted everything, i'm doing the event dailies for the roughly 950 extra coins and wondered if there were any destiny for the extra loot

I don't think there is any conversion beyond the wood <-> ore daily event. It's probably there to give non-daily players as many chances to build out the base camp and craft the dorm furniture. Just watch the material number go up and remember to abuse the onsen bonus for farming story mode.

> Just watch the material number go up and remember to abuse the onsen bonus for farming story mode. this, farming ht6 like crazy and barely any drops of morale

Can someone sum up the major plot points from this event? From what I got so far it’s Bisko got new MVP pet and Marco Polo is still running her circus. Too tired to read the already subpar storyline after the disappointment that is Musashi’s event. At least the Siren lore drop during Yorktown 2 event was nice.

The lore's pretty good this time around too (a lot more at stake this time)... Sorry in advance for it still being wordy but it explains the story of the event AND some of the things it reveals lore-wise: -Prelude: At the Floating Fortress from Inverted Orthant, Ulrich von Hutten is in charge of most of the operations there but she keeps having visions of her nightmare from Pledge of the Radiant Court (a black sun and FdG telling her to come find her (Richelieu had the same dream but with Jean Bart instead of FdG)). Zuikaku is also at the base, having travelled there in Musashi's event, first noticing that Ulrich is sleeping in the library with books titled The Interpreting of Dreams, Inevitable Apocalypse, Aztec Myths, Gods of Rome and The Book of Dark Knowledge around her. Carabiniere leaves the Floating Fortress as she's needed as extra security for the closing ceremony of the World Expo. Later, Zuikaku reads Iron Blood's research notes, coming to the conclusion that the Watatsumi, the Meteorite (Aerolith Incident file from OS / Abyssal Refrain for more information) and the Black Cube are connected but her reading of the notes is interrupted with Gneisenau META knocking on the door, as everyone else in the base has fallen asleep. Meanwhile QE and Bismarck are discussing the current situation, discussing topics like tracking down the location of the Sea of Stars (in the Rocky Mountains apparently), the fact that Eagle Union are apparently building a blueprint ship for Iris (hence the discussions at the World Expo), that Northern Parliament made an agreement with Vichya behind everyone's backs (also at the Expo) and how FdG was involved in securing Clemenceau's place as the head of the Tribunal (making her Vichya's leader). Suddenly the Gate of Avalon (Camelot's portal) is activated and QE cuts off the call to investigate after warning Bismarck not to let anyone use the Tower of Midgard as their branch (timeline) depends on it (because of Bon Homme Richard), while Bismarck is contacted about the Floating Fortress and the activation of the Tower of Midgard (from Tower of Transcendence). -Main Event Part 1 >!It's revealed that Ulrich was the one who activated the portal, being manipulated by the visions of the black sun. Gneisenau META and Zuikaku follow her in and catch up to her but Ulrich sees an image of FdG defeated on a large screen, assumes it's real and starts undergoing METAmorphosis, knocking Gneisenau META and Zuikaku unconscious and into nightmares influenced by METAmorphosis. Bismarck and her fleet arrive, seeing most of the ships asleep and enter the portal as well, after checking the logs. While in the Mirror Sea, they fight numerous Type IV Sirens and Bismarck uses her Type Zwei rigging, which she calls Geryon but during the battle, U-556 is consumed by a black mist that speeds up the METAmorphosis from her rescuing Bismarck back in Scherzo, turning her META. They continue ahead instead of searching for U-556 right away. Gneisenau META snaps out of her nightmare and wakes up Zuikaku as well (who managed to fight off the METAmorphosis disguised as Shoukaku in the Sanctuary, before ending up saved by someone with a calming presence as wind chimes sound and numerous torii gates can be seen (background from Dreamwaker's)) and meet up with Bismarck who proceeds to snap Ulrich out of it (who wanted to go with FdG, worried for her safety but FdG told her she had another role to play instead) and eventually find and snap U-556 META out of it as well.!< -Main Event Part 2 >!They find out that they're in a Mirror Sea in the style of an hourglass that houses one of The Hermit IX's mainframes (The Hermit being the one that caused the visions through her illusion powers) and that strangely the Mirror Sea is speeding up METAmorphosis more than usual. After entering the Tower in the Mirror Sea, the red area of the Mirror Sea that speeds up METAmorphosis is expanding and eventually they try to find another route by touching the screen they saw the FdG vision through and it's revealed that it's actually an artificially made space beyond it, rather than just a nightmare that Ulrich was having. Blowing away the mist with Geryon (who has the power to disperse METAmorphosis energy that's externally influenced), she not only sees a black Siren plane but on her second visit to this area, she finds Vestal META trapped in her own nightmare, who improves Geryon as thanks so the METAmorphosis won't affect them as fast. They return back and after speaking with her allies (Arizona META and Helena META) / confirming what Bismarck saw, Vestal META reveals that the black plane belongs to The Devil XV who's there to take over Hermit's mainframe as Sirens sometimes conduct experiments where they battle each other with the winner taking control of the mainframe, though it's the first time they've seen Arbiters doing it (who have multiple mainframes). She also reveals that The Devil is the one causing the METAmorphosis to speed up, as they have the power to do that.!< -Last Boss / Extra Cutscenes >!They head to destroy the vessel of Hermit closest to her mainframe and eventually as a last resort, Hermit gets controlled by The Devil, along with their Enforcers (changing their colour to red and allowing Hermit to make use of The Devil's Enforcers / fish (the name of the variants has 15 in hexadecimal after their names to refer to The Devil XV)). Vestal META warns U-556 to not over-do things or she'll be stuck as a META ship and after the battle with the Hermit IX vessel, reverses the METAmorphosis as it wasn't too late to save her. In the end, Vestal META tells them to destroy the Tower of Midgard but she has more business to deal with and after they leave, her communicator activates and proceeds to say "...I wondered when you were going to call me....So, tell me, The Tower XVI... What will you do now?". In the extra scenes, we see Bismarck and Ulrich planning to destroy the Tower after removing its data logs but they're unable to contact the Royal Navy and the girls in their base are still asleep. We also see FdG and the High Seas Fleet alongside the Ashes trying to cut off The Hermit from the mainframe but The Tower's metal orb interferes and executes the warp procedure again (like they did in Pledge of the Radiant Court's flashback), along with The Tower and The Devil arguing but The Tower asks The Devil who her backup behind her is. Finally, the last 2 extra cutscenes are of La Galissoniere and Algerie meeting up and returning back to their base as they've received word from Clemenceau / to patch up La Galissoniere's wounds and of Marco Polo reciting the prayer from Genesis of the people building the Tower of Babylon, before asking God if they'll allow it (once again the "Category V Threat" Siren flashes on screen again), then asking Trento META what visions she sees (most are related to this event), saying they're good visions and that they'll need to set up their tent (CN dialogue, as EN/JP screwed it up again to make Marco into a clown instead; title of the extra cutscene in CN is "Tent of the Ark").!<

So basically: - Bisko got her upgrade off-screen and lost her upgrade on-screen - UvH and co has finally awaken - We don’t know for sure if VestalM is talking to Tower - MP was cooking according to the EN team - Hermit is now a Trojan horse Sounds about right for a major event. I honestly don’t like the reading experience of AL; there was just something off about it. I’d rather go read the same dialogues from wiki than reading directly in-game. That and the tomfoolery that was Musashi playing chess. Anyhow, thanks for the summary!

> I honestly don’t like the reading experience of AL; I think it's just it takes soooo many taps and so many lines are throwaways. It doesn't help that a lot of times I'm playing AL on a bathroom break or some other short term so I want to *finish the misssion*, not tap 40+ times through a scene just to play 8 seconds of a map to start another scene again. I kind of wish they'd make a visual novel kind of thing to scroll through instead of "Well you have the preload scene, the post-load scene, the scene before the first sortie, the scene after the first sortie, the scene when the boss node appears, the scene when you load the boss node, the scene when the boss appears, and the scene after the boss."

Coming from FGO where the story is 90% of the experience (and after experiencing the fantastic reader of P5R), you’re right. Too many throwaway lines really hurt the story. Like I get it they want to do mid-battle dialogue (which FGO does a surprisingly good job at), but for the honest love of god fix the font, the text speed & textbox, the dysfunctional log button that only works when auto isn’t on, the horrid tapping experience just to get through one sentence, and the worst offender of all the misuse (and overuse) of shipfu art in a VN-like reader context.

What happens to the copies of U-556 meta that drop from the boss stage if you've already MLB'd her?

All excess copies after the 4th one will be converted into meta fragments, which can be use to buy material from the meta ship.

Nice. Thank you

Anyone know where to find the limited lucky box? I bought one and I can’t find it anywhere

Did you open the mail it firsts sends in?

Holy crap I’m dumb. Thanks for the help

Hello! I am about to reach 70,000 points in the event. Should I stop and start farming the usual 12-1? Aside from the important stuff in the event shop (BP, cognitives, the Ship and meta crystals, the augments and stones), the most important thing I'd like to get is more or less oil and coins since I recently got Friedrick. The only incentive I can get trying to farm the event more is getting U-556 meta, which although hard as heck, I'm hoping to get through clearing rewards gacha rather than the event shop. Thankssss

I would drop tbh; 70k is more than enough to buy all of the essentials

Will do! Thanks!

[удалено]

If you have U-556 META and 4 of her META crystals, you have enough to MLB her.

Have you checked inventory if you really do have all the materials? Otherwise, restart the game and probably try "fix assets" in the settings, though that should be done as a very very last resort. You can wait for others to also give their comments on your issue!

Hi i just started playing 4 days ago currently 115 pulls into the bismarck banner and cant get regensburg to drop just wanted to know do they rerun these limited banners ? cause … i dont think this account wants me to have regensburg lol i got everyone on the banner but her and i keep getting otto got her 7 times now

Rerun is likely two years away. The only really important unit meta wise is Bismarck 2. If you've pulled her you are good. Regensburg is more of a waifu ship.

I see and yeah i kinda want regenburg more than bismarck she the reason i stated playing but guess the game dont want me to have her lol

You have a week left so if you want her then keep rolling and you will get her. Keep in mind NJ rerun is soon and she is like another Bismarck 2 strong. But go for waifu > meta always. You can clear most of this game with whoever you want anyway, no big deal.

How often do these UR events occur? Like, would it be wise to start saving wisdom cubes \*now\* for the next one or would I have a bit of a lull?

Normally you would have a bit of a lull (though there are regular new events with new SSRs to roll for too) but the thing is that now we have UR reruns as well so new players are in a bit of pickle because they literally have 5-6 "new" (old plus new) URs to roll for while older players already have the UR reruns and only have to roll for the 4 new URs. Per your question. This year we have 4 new URs. Bismarck II is the 2nd of 4 URs. The first one was Implacable in end of Febraury. The third new UR will be in middle of September for JP anniversary and will more than likely be an IJN UR. And then the fourth final new UR for this year will be end of December. No one knows what it will be but there was a Laffey II unit teased last December so maybe she will make an appearance this year but who knows. Also NJ rerun has been explicitly confirmed as happening so it's a matter of when and it will probably happen in the next month or two since it didn't happen this past quarter (Q2 of 2023). There might also be a second UR rerun which would be Shimakaze this year but nothing has been confirmed. Also PR6 is releasing in July and that will have DRs which are like free URs that you build up with gold, time, and prints instead of cubes and bullins. So yeah ... my advice is keep rolling, even until the last day/minute, until you get the current new UR Bismarck II and then start saving for NJ rerun. Those are two very powerful units to have as a new player.

That's the plan since I just got Bizzy today (180 rolls later...). Given my luck and the pity timer of 200 rolls there'd be no way in hell to get NJ unless I save. I just pray Richilieu doesn't taunt me in the meantime...

I saw elsewhere some suggested Amagi's skin was meant for an Amagi II as she mentions Katsuragi which is unusual. I think its meant for Amagi II since she isn't coughing at all.

I thought we were getting Nagato Ni since there's no real ship to base Amagi II on.

They said the same about Bismarck II, Manjuu Didn't Listen.... The thing I'm curious about is if the Skin Sharing System \[That's part of the Variant System\] is designed to work from Battlecruiser to Carrier? Helena II, it's still a Gunboat, but with Unryuu Amagi, if using a Classic Amagi Skin, she'd lack a Flight Deck because Alt-Skins have their Alt-Rigging. I wonder if Amagi II will be a Carrier at all. It could be they're use her connection to Katsuragi to give Kat someone in her Sphere \[like Shimakaze and Kii do for Suruga\], but take the easier road and make her a Battlecruiser.

Hamman II has 76mm guns only but can equip skins which clearly show Hamman using a 127mm gun. If they're willing to give away that distinction, they could easily make CV Amagi use a skin with BB guns

I was talking about the Chibi and Rigged Animations

Not sure. But I dont think Kaga BB and Kaga share a skin?

Kaga BB has more in common with a Child Ship than a Type II. She's basically a "Younger" version of Kaga, but in a Realistic to Kansen way. Kaga and Kaga BB are usually considered different enough to often be interpreted as being different people....same **being**, but different people.

I like that idea too. I hope to write a series of stories about different characters that are ultimately emanating from the same being across different life times.

There is [the Unryu class Amagi](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_aircraft_carrier_Amagi) which was technically put into service.

Doesn't Amagi play up her sickness a bit as a tactic to get the commander to pay more attention to her? Though there's people who are more knowledgeable about her and the Sakura ships than I am and could tell you better( u/sarah-tang, for instance). I will say though that something similar did happen with Hornet's cheerleader skin being meant for Hornet II. The draft for her skin had a 12 (as in CV-12) on her top.

Ah, but the new Skin does have a Cough Line >Love: \*cough\* \*cough\*... Ah. Commander, I'm just fine. It's not what you think—Oh, thank you. That you've given me tea rather than medicine is proof that you know me well, hehehe. As for her playing up her sickness, a fan theory, as her swimsuit skin only has 1 Cough Line as well. Was it meant for Amagi II, perhaps, but why are we getting it now then, it's going to happen sooner or later, unless she's not coming for a while. As for the line with Katsuragi, it could just be referential or us reading into it. After all, if Helena had a line about Baltimore, would you instantly associate it with Helena II? Kat's a character that doesn't have that many current connections, and maybe they're trying to change that with an obvious character.

I do remember there was an anthology manga chapter where Amagi and Akagi fight over SKK, and she exaggerates her coughs as a strategy. Though the anthology chapters might as well be licensed fanfics, so they don't have a lot of canon weight. I also doubt the authors receive that much insider info, not as much as the QO and Bizoku authors, at least. And yeah, Amagi II seems might be a when, not if, issue. >unless she's not coming for a while. Huh, I guess it would be weird if she released on the upcoming JP anni event and basically got two skins back to back. We could assume that disqualifies her for the next event, but skins have no pattern whatsoever so who knows. I'm actually excited to see what her (official) return could bring to the story, when it does happen.

Hornet: "Cheering Justice" is the closet example. It was released back in August 2022, 126 Days before Hornet II....If we assume JP Anniversary to be on a similar schedule to last year, it'll be 112 days between CN and JP Anniversary. The thing is...."Cheering Justice" is a Sport's skin, it "**Could**" have been sitting around for quite some time waiting for a good time to release. While "Red Kite's Respite"...is that the kind of skin you're going to have sitting on a table....It shows the growth of Amagi's popularity, a year or two ago, this would have been the Big Skin for EN's Anniversary..... Beyond Speculation...no one expected Hornet II, everyone has been expecting Amagi II since Yorktown II.....and Amagi's Skin is an Anniversary Set Skin, and would have considered ships coming out in all 3 Anniversary Events, while Hornet's might not have.....or could have been moved up

Was this a line from a certain affection level? I didn't find it when I had the skin rented and ger lines aren't on the wiki yet

The cough line is Love for this one and...defeat for the Swimsuit.

That's bizarre. I don't have her affection that high which explains how I missed it

I just noticed that the Akashi chibi in the prize shop counter button looks different than the one we have now. Hopefully this means that her chibi's gonna be updated soon, it looks quite outdated.

I've pity pulled Bismarck and got all event ships except for Regensberg. Is it worth pulling for her? Doing the daily three pulls but even then Im wondering if I should just spend the minimum 1 cube per day.

If you don't need the event points then you go to one a day. Once you get the new UR you are set. Only reason to continue getting points is if you want to get to 30k for the free UR bulin then every bit helps until you cross the finish line. NJ rerun is soon so save for her. She will probably drop in July alongside PR6 the same way Shinano rerun happened alongside PR5.

Great as a waifu; not so much as a capable ship

She's a fine off-tank for ironblood fleet, but otherwise not a stellar ship. And even for ironblood fleet mainz is just pretty much a better choice so she's not that important. Not that worth it IMO.

This event almost made/makes me quit AL. 190 pulls and 9 Regensburg, 3 Bismarck 1 Meta sub and no Otto. Then in addition to that you have what feels like 10 simultaneous events going on with skins, island and what not. This Event feels like one big f*ing chore to me. I am really at my limit with this. If I would still need Bis I could at least go for pity but Otto is just bye bye till next year...Sorry for the rant just had to share my frustration.

>Then in addition to that you have what feels like 10 simultaneous events going on with skins, island and what not. It only feels overwhelming at a glance. If you look further, they're mostly just 2-tasks-per-day-for-7-days type of events that you either complete by just playing the game normally or doing a simple thing like opening 1 tech box which requires almost no time-investment. Basically, Royal Fortune, Yat Sen skin, Hai Tien skin, Cleveland skin, The Weaver's Omen and Rally Request all fall into this category (unless you're doing the 2nd account for rally request which make thing more complicated). Then there's the main event which is nothing special and mini Taihou's event which you complete automatically by just playing the game (campaign or event). The only things left are Call to Arms (a standard event that almost always accompanies major events) and the Island. Island is indeed more complex than any other side-event but it ultimately boils down to clicking through \~12 or so nodes picking certain options and then using all the resources to craft all the things and buy out the shop which takes about a week before you can completely forget about its existence. I understand that you feel pissed after getting unlucky in the gacha and that makes any other small annoyances feel even more annoying but the mini-events are really not as bad as they seem.

Thanks for all that effort in answering but I have been playing AL for more than 3 years already. I know it is what it is and AL is by far the best gacha Imo but it just never happened to me in the last 2 years that I couldn't get all ships. And never even had to get close to pity. So I know I am complaining from a rather comfortable position but that's just why I had to let off some steam in this post. But your answer perfectly helps a beginner to calm down and see the game for what it is. A great albeit sometimes frustrating gacha. So again great answer nonetheless!

> Island is indeed more complex than any other side-event but it ultimately boils down to clicking through ~12 or so nodes picking certain options and then using all the resources to craft all the things and buy out the shop which takes about a week before you can completely forget about its existence. The island is my only complaint. I love all the other stuff. Like you said, it's mostly just free stuff for playing normally. The island is just a bit needlessly complicated and tedious. Upside though is like you said, about a week of doing it will mostly clear it out. The rest though, I dunno, that's Gacha games. I just feel fortunate AL puts in good rates and reasonable pity counter for the UR ships, just sucks that he's struggling with Otto and that seems to be the only one he wants, but -shrug- it's how it goes.

Honestly it's one of those bad days where they simply won't drop At least it's not an Elite like what I used to deal with Nautilus; dumped nearly 300 pulls and got no Nautilus during the rerun

Is it better to buy U556 META crystals with event currency or Crystal fragments?

Event currency is far better since you can easily grind 8k for all 4 crystals to limit break 556 META

Much better to spend Crystal Fragments for meta rigging fortifications, event currency all the way. Plus, there's one week period between event end and shop closes too.

Event currency should cover you very easily. I have only been playing SP and not farming D3 after I reached 40k points and I can purchase all of her crystals very easily.

But can the frags be used for anything else important? Rn I only see them being also used for materials in the shop which I can also easily get from OPS and am not in short supply of while event tokens I actually haven’t played a lot so I would have less for blueprints

It's a new shop. For now, it seems like they're only filling it with those items. ~~The event will still run for two weeks, anyway.~~ *Nope, just 8 days.* Each day, if you don't build three ships a day, you can get at a minimum of 1250 points per day (SP + 15 victories + 1 non-event Hard stage). This means you will get at least ~~17,500 points~~ 10,000 points. You need 33,000 points to purchase PR BP, DR BP, Cog Chips, and Cog Arrays. I mean, it's up to you at the end of the day. My suggestion is to prioritise buying the things that you need first (BP, cog, etc). Close to the end of the event, see whether you have excess points or not. If yes, use it to purchase the U-556 crystal. If not, use the meta crystals instead. For the record, 41k (33k + 8k) at the minimum to purchase those things. People recommend for you get ~30k points since it gave you a UR bullin and ~50k points is a good stopping point in general.

The event's active for another week (8 days if you include today), not 2 weeks.

Oh, you're right. I miscalculate. Sorry!

Right now, no. But it's a new shop and who knows what will they add there. Spending event currency is safer since you know all the things it can be used on while crystal fragments may or may not become an important currency that will be high in demand. I doubt it will be, but it's still a possibility so it's up to you whether to take the safe or the slightly more risky option. In any case, there's still a week before the event ends so you a lot of time to farm more points and see if event points are still needed for other things. Besides, you might get lucky and get copies from farming decreasing, or outright nullifying, the costs of whichever currency you end up picking.

Not related to the game but I finally saved up enough money to buy me a new Xiaomi phone with 256GB storage and 8GB of ram with the option to expand it more for better processing power Finally, I can see lewd skins at 60 FPS

~~It's time to create a new account in Little Enty then.~~ ~~Or multitask with more mobage at the same time.~~

My schedule: **NO**

~~What is sleep anyway.~~

You're right, time to sacrifice my mortal flesh for the Omnisiah

Time to sacrifice your sanity to the gacha overlord.

Jokes on you, the cat is drinking my soul rn

I just realised you mean the greedy green cat, not any random cat.

Yep; the cat

Is there anyway to get more flowers on Seabreeze island? I didn't build my camp the first few days because I actually read the story, but now it seems like there's a hard cap on flowers of only 15 a day. I need way more flowers than that to build the remaining furniture. I'm good on stone and wooden planks, but it seems like a huge amount of the dorm furniture construction requires flowers as a material, and I'm worried I won't be able to build it. It seems like a bunch of the daily mini events give ore or wood, but nothing is giving me more flowers. I'm bummed I may have missed out by waiting to actually read the story.

No, it's time gated to 15 a day. That being said a week of collecting flowers should be more than enough for all the craftable furniture. And there's still ~2 weeks left in the event, don't panic.

OH, ok cool. I thought it ended 6/7, but if I have more time, that's great!

6/7 is a Wednesday anyway, maintenance goes through on Thursdays. The recent trend on UR events though is that they last 3 weeks instead of the usual 2.

Scanned about half the thread with no answers, apologies if I missed this. What the heck is the little dragon thing on the event maps? It looks like it should be a 'replenishment' square that increases your ammo count, but I can't tell what it changes (if anything). Curiosity is killing me. Or at least somewhat inconveniencing me. ;)

It resets the Corrosion level back to 0 upon touching it from the map's gimmick

If you didn't skip the tooltip when you started T2/HT2... It clears your fleet of corrosion levels.

Well, I always skip all the tooltips, because I play on JP but I can't read much Japanese. That certainly explains it, thanks a bunch! :)

"It dodged the first shell with a backstep" made me picture the world's longest backstep lol

Does anyone know the song that plays on HTS2 having trouble finding it online.

[Signal by Beverly](https://youtu.be/wao7kUZoP9w/)?

No not this one but it does sound nice.

I pulled a duplicate Bismark Zwei even though I've already fully limit-broken my first. I'm low no dock space, any point keeping the dupe or send her to retirement?

Unless you want to flex your wallet via skins, retire the dupe

I still have a Musashi dupe I can't (or won't) let go of...

*brings a giant scissor* Lemme help

*Akagi vibes intensify*

do the normal maps have an oil cap? is it worth clearing them once per day for the bonus fragments? any tips for clearing the boss stage? my frontline is getting shredded

Boss vanguard usually wants to be tanky so that it can survive long enough for backline to take out boss. So if you're using fragile/glass units like low lvl DDs you might be getting wiped out early.

You can clear all the normal maps for the daily x3 bonus using any devently leveled 1-1 fleet, so it's worth even with no oil cap.

If you can clear hard usually we'd recommend just going straight for hard, only D1-3, or in this case HT4-6 has oil cap. That said the "story" maps TS1 and 2 have a cube reward, so it might be worth just clearing normal for that.

Can you only do TS1/TS2 once? I've been spamming HT6, clear the SP map daily but I don't see the 'S' maps while flipping thru rn

Yes you can only do TS1 and TS2 each once, but HTS1 and HTS2 are separate of the normal and they all will give a cube.

Yeah it's just a one-time deal, for story purposes more than anything else.

as someone who just started I'm assuming that as with all gacha games power creep is real and Bismark is cracked and I should pull for her?

There is powercreep but you'll find that with the right level and equipment any fleet can clear a good 90% of the game's content. And they've recently began giving augmented equipment to the older ships so they can keep up with the newer ones. Also, highly recommend this website not just to check the tier list, but to check which equipment is best for each ship. https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home

Bismarck Zwei is very strong and power creep does happen, but AL hasn't gone off on a runaway scale for creeping, and content difficulty actually creeps far slower than unit power. Regardless we'll definitely pulling for UR units when they're up. Just don't bother pulling for dupes.

Content Difficulty actually Creeps? Outside of Campaign Chapters and Deliberately Hard content, it doesn't creep. Confluence's relative difficulty....Arbiters and Enforcers don't scale well.

So I would be pulling for Zwei?

You should be since she makes pure German fleeting very possible thanks to her abilities.

>she makes pure German fleeting very possible thanks to her abilities. No. She makes a good Iron Blood fleet possible by virtue of there being other good Iron Blood and she herself being a strong ship.

Yes.

This event is the first event in a while that drop so many ships at once for me to level up, usually i just level up 1-2 ship from a new event But now between bismark for meta purpose, regensburg for her dragon, and jade for RLD fleet tech, plus the two, soon to be three new meta ships (i always max all meta ships), six ships at once is pretty brutal... [Also i cant be the only one doing this with regensburg](https://i.imgur.com/Dsj43ks.jpg)

Lmaoooooooooooooo I'll take note of this hahahaahaha. Thanks for the idea!

What is that horrible voice line that plays in the event maps? I have searched and asked in the game chat and have gotten no answers. None of my ships have a voice that sounds like what I hear. Also it doesn’t play/activate unless my ships skills trigger. I’m not sure if anyone knows what I’m talking about.

Maybe Vestal META? Noticed her image alongside others when they activated their skills. And "Framework of Logic....." being the skill. Easy to notice when I ran Nelson, Hood, Unicorn as my backline. None of whom stares to the left in their artwork.

I'm already capped for my U-556 Meta crystals - so when I get additional drops of her from the event map, what does it convert into, if anything?

Extras automatically get converted into crystal fragments for the meta shop. Had a M556 drop earlier today whilst in this situation. Forgot the conversion rate cu I tapped thru it but I think it's the same as if you bought the meta crystals from the event shop while M556 is capped, cmiiw.

Awesome, thanks!

it converts to that currency that the new shop uses. (go to the shops and slide all the way to the left)

Got it, thanks!

>Got it, thanks! You're welcome!

For the love of all that's holy, can we please require that skin posts be gathered in the event thread? We do not need 8 separate threads for each L2D skin >.<

They need those social credit points to live

How else are people supposed to farm karma off 3 separate posts for the same skin for different regions even though we know it will be released on all of them bar any technicalities/censorship? At least you definitely know the skin exists 

Guys I never had issues with the game but now that I used a Ticket for the new L2D skins and put them as secretary the game crashes when lobby loads.

On the log in screen, click on the cog symbol on the corner to initiate asset repair, see if that fixes it.

In the event island, what's up with those mushrooms "encounter"? Does it reward you with anything? I tried to both "sleep" and "ignore" it and didn't get anything out of it... (not that it matters much)

One time I clicked take the treasure and actually got treasure.. so I guess just always do that? was coins

On that end, I have not gotten anything with the cave exploration one. What gives? lmaooo

I think I did, so that makes me think that the rewards are just random.

Ohhhh I seee, welp I have never gotten a reward there so at least I can still get coins and resources from other places. Thankss

Coins and unprocessed woods IIRC. It's a bit RNG based I think. Gotten some taking the treasure in the dream, and sometimes got them by snapping awake instead.

Good event and good story!

better to farm D2 or D3?

D3 for better point payout and time efficient The gold quad mag in D2 can be obtained in gear lab or in IB tech boxes

Quad mags are more generically useful, but I'd rather just make them in gear lab. HT6 should be better point effiency and definitely better time efficiency, also if you fancy M556 drops.

What high-profile IJN ships could be used for the UR slot in JP anniversary? I have a feeling Yamato won't come just yet. ~~imagine if they tripled down and we got NagaTwo and/or Amagi II~~ Also, I probably shouldn't read too much into this but the cabbajuus and the manjuu god from the daily resource nodes are the first time we've seen manjuus speak. Also, there's a manjuu deity... Neat.

My guess would be the 4th Yamato class, Warship Number 111, that had construction started but later canceled.

I'm gonna throw out a shot in the dark and guess Amagi II or some other II ship. I really hope it's not, I'd sooner take another original UR BB than another character rehash but this event probably sold buckets so more character rehashes are probably inbound.

I-400 would be my guess, since there are no UR subs yet.

If there was going to be a UR, that'd be the one to do it.

Besides Yamato I don't think there's anything left for URs, short of going paper. I don't yet see how they can introduce -Ni ships for IJN, or their relevance at this point. It *may* happen further off in the future, but not just yet. At least Bismarck has an excuse to get a Zwei rigging, and she's the only -2 ship this round compared to the entire roster for Superimposition. So... I really have no idea. I'd rather it not be an IJN event this year, which while unlikely, is possible.

They're just going to introduce Type Ni Ships, it's the next step, introduce one or two Type 2 Ships \[Same Ship\] without a big justification and see how people react to it being done casually. The Fact is, they can't do seven different events to introduce concepts that are 80-90% identical on a basic level. And if that's the case, it's better if it's not a Type-II UR, to avoid that interfering.

Amagi CV. Unryuu-class aircraft carriers had 3 ships completed. Unryuu, Katsuragi, and Amagi. Sunk by submarine attack, Survived and scrapped at the end of the war, and sunk in harbor during air raids and later scrapped for their respective fates. Not sure how it'll go lore-wise. But the potential for Amagi-Ni is there I think.

I know the Unryuu class and it's a potential I'm not too keen to jump on because her "end" wasn't met in combat and wasn't the result of cube corruption per se. It's possible, of course, I'm just not too excited by that idea for now. They need at least one more major event to exposit something about Amagi. There was also no hint of her having survived, unlike Bismarck.

While you are correct that there isn't confirmation that Amagi didn't die in her reenactment, recent events have shed doubt on their validity. We learned in this event that reenactments can be manipulated, and Tosa's existence and commentary is proof that the Commander's influence on the reenactments did change history to the point of allowing Tosa's survival into the current timeline (whereas previously she would have been scrapped). Who's to say Amagi didn't survive, or that she isn't comatose somewhere or kept in cold storage until something can be done for her? There are still secrets in the Sakura, some kept from Akagi, so the survival of Amagi and the strengthening of her hull via -Two technology and conversion into an Unryuu class is most definitely not off the table here.

I think a better way of saying it would be: It'll probably happen, but not this year. I feel like there will be more build up to it if they were going to. Or maybe there will be, in the next 3 months... who knows.

I feel like this year would actually be the prime year for it. Yamato is likely not due until 2024 since that would be the auspicious 7th Anniversary, and there's still a mess of secrets to untangle in regards to the Sakura. On top of that, we have a new artist for Amagi, so that can possibly be pointing to a potential Amagi-Ni in our future. I'm not sure if Amagi-Ni is UR worthy as an Unryuu-class, but at this point I don't think historical merit is factoring in over popularity. Amagi is super popular though, so a -Ni version this JP Anni would definitely seem fitting.

As far as I can recall there's nothing particularly auspicious about 7 in China or Japan. And I'm personally not huge for speculating anything that's not going to be a good guesstimate, my personal wish would be for it to not be IJN.

7 is usually tied to luck, and Japan even has Seven Lucky Gods.

Actually, Japan's lucky number is also 8, like China, but for different reasons. Shichifukujin is a thing, but it's more of part of imported mythology than the number of members being seven as a representation of good luck.

There's currently 777 comments in this thread. That is all ... 778.

Once you get copies from all the ships from the event build pool there is no need to roll for the same ships twice. Unless you wish to use dupe ships in other fleets,but i see no reason to do this unless you really want to(like i did with Z23 yes i use one lvl 125 in 1st fleet n one lvl 100 in 2nd bc she is good)

Are you sure you're not replying to the wrong thread, mate?

Maybe,sry if I'm wrong i just wanted to help the guy with advice, because he asked shall he pull for dupes or not, that's all

Wait, I'm not criticising your suggestion! I'm saying that because I cannot find the context (ie the comment that you're replying to). From my side, your reply looks like [this](https://imgur.com/a/lqt074G).

I wrote this to the original post of the guy,not his regular comment.i hope you're not confused. N don't worry i get it

The event status chart is [in progrress](https://files.catbox.moe/aud3xb.png) in case anyone wants to contribute with a joke or a blurb of text. Ignore the placeholder text pls.

New Jersey - Disappeared outfit wise for 2yrs, returned with not only America's ass but the best L2D outfit ever...period. (also had seggs with SKK, the chad that he is)

Since no one's put one forward for her yet: Nelson retro "Do you have a thing for being stepped on?" "Would you like to?" inspired by several of the comments on her announcement

Otto - what if submarine but above water. Mysterious purple haired girl - status: mysterious Gneisenau Meta - When the enemy boss joins your team meme. Bismarck - fricking space battleship Bismarck

I'd fully forgotten the mysterious purple girl. She's definitely worth including here. Thanks!

Yat Sen - Making tea. Making *good* tea.

Regensburg: The tamer becomes the tamed/will follow you to "somewhere quiet," b-but only because she wanted to, b-baka Anchorage: Anchorage-sama Wants to be Lewded U556 META: I'm sexy and I know it (source: someone down below on this thread) Taihou: had beach seggs Taihou-chan: proof of beach seggs (Yes, I know they aren't created like that. Is joke)

We've all collectively chosen to apply death of the author to the origin of the '-chan' ships and it's glorious. Also thanks, will use.

[And here I thought manjuu only had](https://i.imgur.com/3m9zYMC.png) [one](https://i.imgur.com/VxiEc24.png) [expression](https://i.imgur.com/JbwWH8K.png) Also happy to see that Amagi has a visible ring after oath in her new skin.

me, patiently waiting and stalking /u/zenithtreader for his D3 1:1 event comps. 

Pretty much me when there's a new OpSi META.

Zenithreader, the META mastermind lol

Sorry not doing it this time since there is nothing worth farming. I just run ~~D3~~ TH6 with a full fleet to level up new ships. But if you really want to go all out on oil saving, I am pretty sure D3 can be done using only Unicorn + a decent DD. SP including the boss can be cleared by Volga + a DD with Hedgehog. In both instance they need to have pretty good equipment, Wyvern, Tenrai, the whole shebang.

Yeah I'm just doing full fleets for xp this time around too but I always look forward to your posts. Thanks!!

The event banner being based on heavy build (I presumed, since the common and rare drops are mostly BBs) is a blessing. Finally got *Renown* you elusive Battlecruiser. I can complete the collection mission now.

Renown is available in the Medal shop as well as a map drop, but congo rats.

Yep, she was elusive nonetheless. Tried 1-4, 7-3, and D-2 of Empyreal Tragicomedy. Heavy builds and Requisitions too. All of that and finally comes from the event banner. Still want to try for Regensburg since dragon.

I hadn't had a chance to play through the dessert island stuff until today and I'm pleasantly surprised. This is definitely the highest production value I've ever seen them put into an event, specifically the SoL stories. It's not a dramatic increase, mind you, but it's still nice to know that the effort placed into the Ryza collab wasn't a one-off thing. Also, is it me or do a lot of the cut-scenes have a "skk walked them home gently"-vibe to them?

Cries in no W15.

Forget vibe, it's practically canon that it happened for most of them lol. Taihou is very ~~gloriously~~ unsubtle, NJ and SKK "sunbathe" together after undoing her top, Regensburg follows you to a quiet place for reasons Even the one where it doesn't have the vibe, still has SKK calling it a date

I think I have an hypothesis with what is going on with Devil: Helena Meta has taken control of her. It happened in Yorktown 2's event, when Hammann stabbed the devil with the syringe Helena Meta gave her. That was the moment Helena Meta got control. It is also the reason why Arizona says that Helena is busy at the moment, she is puppeteering the Devil's body.

Could be a good shout.

Does the moral regen of the island open bath stack with the dormitory?

It's +10/hr on top of whatever the ship already regenerates, inclusive of oath and either floors of dorm.

otto be denying me her drop. i got two biscuits, and enough regen to limit her.
