IMPORTANT REMINDER TO BIND YOUR ACCOUNT!
- JP players can bind via binding code or Twitter account.
- EN players can bind via Twitter account, Facebook account or Yostar account. Recommended to use Yostar Account due to uncertainty with Twitter and Facebook. These options are in Settings.
- Use at least one account bind option; use multiple if you want to be safe.
- If your device is lost, damaged, or a game update breaks the app and forces you to reinstall you could permanently lose your account.
- EN accounts are easiest to recover with an account bind; make sure to bind your account in the settings and only use the login screen binding buttons to reconnect your account.
- Using the login screen buttons without a bound account will create a new account for you and effectively erase your progress with no way of recovering it outside of contacting customer support. JUST DO IT.
- Make sure you are selecting the correct server and method of binding when using a new device.
NOTE: It's also a good idea to remember your server and take a screenshot of your Profile Page so that customer support has an easier time recovering your account.

after updating the game. it keeps on restarting like on a restart loop. how do i fix this without having to redownload everything? i am on an pc emulator and red magic 8 pro and both device has the same issue
any recommended equipments for regensburg? she seems squishy.
You can kit her out just like a typical CL. You can refer to this: [https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/cl?ship=regensburg](https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/cl?ship=regensburg) She's suppose to be a sister ship to Magdeburg, so the two have near identical stats, but differ in skillsets.
The same standard CL equipment like always: - Seattle gun / Chapayev gun / 155mm Kai - Any gold torpedo launcher you got - Any gold AA gun you got - High Performance Hydraulic Steering Gear - Toolkit
Are all URs animated by default when you have them as a secretary?
All URs(including DRs and UR Retros) do have dynamic default skins.
Awesome! I've been playing for nearly three months, and I'm still discovering tons of little things. I only thought to ask the question because I set Bizzy2 as my secretary after I rented her Live2D outfit, and was shocked to find her default wasn't a static image when the rental ran out. Gonna have to Retro Warspite sooner now that I know this 😂 Also, what's the difference between dynamic and Live2D? I'm guessing dynamic is just a basic loop animation, but Live2D reacts to taps? Is there any more to it or is that basically it?
Dyanmic is just an animated gif as the gist
>Also, what's the difference between dynamic and Live2D? I'm guessing dynamic is just a basic loop animation, but Live2D reacts to taps? That's the gist of it, yes.
i got lucky and got 2 bismark II on a 10 roll, any reason to keep both?
Practically no. Use one to limit break the other unless you have plenty of UR Bullins and want to keep both for a flex/ showcasing skins.
Thanks!
>Thanks! You're welcome!
Weird question, do Frigates and Corvettes fits the game? you see, if they do, many factions will be pouring in such as the HMCS (The Royal Canadian Fleet) in which, more wifus to collect.
We do have a frigate but not the modern type, rather it's the ancient sailboat that is Royal Fortune from the Tempesta as a submarine unit While more waifu is better, the question is how useful would they be? They're gonna have to contend with the DDs which are already belong to the low HP, high TRP type of ships and ASW capability too
More story arcs that keeps the game alive....you know, gacha games can be dead... This however ... hmm.. how do i put this,... ship, should be more and more powerful over times... not nerfed
Repair and munitions ships are great examples of what happens when they add ship classes that basically have no practical purpose. They just part of other major ships' stories with maybe a side role at best. Adding those smaller ships doesn't equate to more arcs to be written directly with them. If ships need to get stronger over time it makes even less sense to add another class that is by nature going to be smaller and weaker than DDs, with little headroom for power growth.
>This however ... hmm.. how do i put this,... ship, should be more and more powerful over times... not nerfed Not exactly a must-follow save for obvious ones like the UR rarity but you can also introduce ships with great support skill but have low durability to ask and balance it out
Nothing wrong with new ships but the problem is how do you implement them well and good enough to be distinct Corvettes so far is essentially a watered down version of DDs so unless we got new mechanics along the way to make them viable or they bring up notable kit, I don't think they would be any worthwhile to invest in outside of waifu reasons obviously
[We do have a frigate though, just not the type you're after.](https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Royal_Fortune) They could add corvettes and frigates... but they're going to be a sub-DD class and I can't imagine what they'll do with ships with even less HP and punch than a DD in the current state of the game.
Read somewhere that Bismarck Zwei powercrept New Jersey, although can't remember where lol. Is it true? Thanks!
No one has had Zwei at full strength yet so any claims as such are to be taken with a large grain of salt They only said that she have a big potential to be so, not outright confirmation You should check it back after a week or two to see the results
Note that BisZwei hasn't even been out for a week so there's no serious testing with her maxed out yet. That said her numbers do look promising at the moment. Maybe check back again in a week or 2.
Maybe. Any and all claims about Bismarck 2 should be taken with massive grains of salt at this point in time. No one is even close to having all her skills maxed out yet to be able to properly test her yet so it is impossible at this point in time to say definitively where Bismarck 2 stands in relation to other URs and if she'll replace NJ in the top BB comps.
I had already max limit broken Royal Fortune before the re-run, is there any reason to keep the extra copy or should I just retire her like every other duplicate SR?
See dat sexy ass swimsuit skin? Buy it, put it on secretary display alongside her base/Halloween skin. Serious answer yea you can just retire.
She is indeed a cutie, but if I buy her skin then I'd have to buy one for my lovely Taihou and Anchorage AND Regensburg too...and I'd be broke at that rate. Retire it is :c
>Keep them as flexes/ showcasing multiple skins or retire them for medals.
How to recognise the armour type of the enemy Is it written somewhere for world 10,11,12,13 and 14 Opsi and event maps ?
Add in: You can quickly browse through their ship type by looking at the small icon right next to their health bar
> health bae We oathing UI elements now?
~~We horny~~
Generally speaking it's something like this Light armour = Destroyers, Light Cruisers, Repair Ships, Bomb boats, AA ships Medium Armour = Heavy Cruisers, Battlecruisers, Carriers Heavy Armour = Battleships There are exceptions to this but if they have different armour type in your dock they'll have that armour value when you encounter them in the campaign or OpSi. Notable exceptions / ones I can remember on top of my head are: Compiler (Carrier Guild Raid Boss): Heavy Command Ship: Heavy Taiho: Heavy Odin: Heavy Illustrious Class Carriers: Heavy Avrora: Medium Probably quite a few more. And just as I finish typing this up I remember this: https://al-data.github.io/nodes. That doesn't cover OpSi but it does tell you detailed enemy stats.
Wasn't Compiler always heavy? Also I believe if you do any of the guild ops besides Solomon the boss won't be Compiler, and won't be heavy.
Yea I did a ninja edit changing it to "Carrier Guild Boss" coz I just remembered that lol. Was going to the wiki for the exact name but you've helped with that.
It's the one we ripped the guts out of in Rondo so... 
In general: * DDs/CLs are light * CAs/CVs/BCs are medium * BBs are heavy You may have to learn to recognize the class icons/models. The more prominent exceptions would be armoured carriers (Taihou in 13, Illustrious in OS) will have heavy armour. Events tend to follow this as well but can have more exceptions.
Are the wisdom cube researches worth it? I have so many pr/dr ships that could use more blueprints so is there any benefit to doing them instead of the ones that cost coins?
Cube researches are useful early in a fresh new series/season if you want to complete the ships ASAP. You'll basically always be stuck working on rigging research later in the year even if you're done with the ships so unless you absolutely must fields ASAP, saving the cubes is probably fine. Also cube research in general isn't really recommended unless you have a good float of cubes, mostly keeping up a safety net for needing to pity URs.
Gotcha, I only have 90 because I went in on getting all the new ships from the event so I’ll hold off until I reach 400 again to be safe
Only if you have a lot of spare (read:800+ cubes IMO), they have the best prints/time ratio, but it cost cubes so it'll depend on your stash. It also give retrofit blueprints which are hugely timegated, that's another benefit.
I'd argue no even if you have a lot of cubes to do it. You're gonna gain more prints sure but you're gonna be sacrificing gear prints which are equally as important. It only takes 4 to 5 months on average to finish an entire season anyway.
All the people I know who have 5 copies of quad 152mm go hard on cube research at the beginning. Non-30 minutes face research is *less than half* as efficient per hour spent, on *both* ship prints (comparing to cube research), *and* equipment prints (comparing to rigging analysis). It's actually faster if you cube through ship prints asap so you can focus exclusively on equipment prints after ships are done.
Here I am at 40+ prints on my 4th gun... I'm starting to question my research efficiency.

> Keep them as flexes/ showcasing multiple skins or retire them for medals. From the question below yours.
What do I do with extra copies of Bismark Zwei I have her mlb.
Keep them as flexes/ showcasing multiple skins or retire them for medals.
I don't want to retire a UR so I will keep them thanks. I was rolling for Regensburg but got 3 copies of Zwei beforehand. finally got her.
Is anyone else having an issue where when you try to go to dock it just loads forever? I literally have to close and reload the app every time, pretty annoying (but I guess it beats having to full reinstall).
It doesn't happen to me. Have you tried repairing assets?
I had it happen on emulator (running the older version) and on my phone (running the optional patch), so I doubt it has to do with repairing assets. I think it has something to do with trying to open dock before secretary loads in after combat, idk.
I see. It doesn't happen to both my emulator (Bluestacks N32) and my phone (S10) and both are w/o the optional patch. Sorry, I can't help that much.
Dumb question, does effects of RN's AP Shell (auxiliary) apply to QE Meta? I was using her with the shell equiped until this update were METAs are considered as a different faction in Fleet Tech...
She does not benefit from the gold shells. META ships were never considered part of the ships og faction. They have always been under "Misc" when using the faction filter.
What is the OST called that is playing during TS-2 right before you unlock T-6? It's some kind of sad piano piece. But since you can play the stage only once you sadly can't replay the stage. EDIT: I found it. It seems to be the accoustic version of "Signal"
I don't know the song but if you replay memory #27 Lingering Echo from the event, you can listen to it again. That's the scene that plays just as the boss spawns in TS2
Can I get the U-556 Meta crystals as drops, or do I have to get them from the event shop?
You can get dupes of her from HT6/ T6 which will be converted to crystals.
More than likely from the event shop If you don't get them there, they become available later on in the META Shop they just introduced.
>More than likely from the event shop You can absolutely get them from map drops, any dupe U-556 META drop turns into crystals until you're maxed out (after which point they turn into the META shop currency instead).
I heard that there's a setting to shorten the animation for the new battle end screen but I can't find it. Can someone tell me what the exact name of the setting is and which tab in the settings to find it in? Ty
Settings > Options > Fast Combat Results Screen. It is the option on the bottom left.
What is summer seabreeze and seabreeze in mystery shop I bought them but I have no clue ?
Nvm my old comment Those two items are your portrait frame and the chat frame respectively Go back to the main menu and tap on the chibi face at the top left corner then go into the Style tab
Who is the best ship to pick from early summer invitation? I am around mid game and already have Graf so im passing on her. I was thinking of picking up either Taihou, Amagi, or Chapayev. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!
If I have to pick 1 out of the 3 then Taihou is the way to go, at least in my experience Taihou is a generally solid CV with a special airstrike skill and being pretty durable so she's usable in any situation. Her unique modue improves her overall damage done and made it more consistent to use Amagi have somewhat been diminished in her use since now Hood have a unique module that functions like Taihou, improve her barrage's consistency and damage while also being more durable than Amagi Chapayev is basically a russian Cleveland, *alright* gunboat CL with extra perk against light armor. Not mucb else to write home Of course if you're still not sure then you can save the invitation in the depot for later times as it will never expire
I'll also add Chapayev is farmable from the Northern Overture WAs so using the invitation on her is a bit of a waste. Her DPS is also quite a bit higher than the Clevelands but yeah overall not really a standout.
Or drop in Light pool iirc so you don't need to redeem the letter for her unless you like her as a waifu
Good to know it doesn’t expire, might save it for later then. Though I am leaning more towards picking up Taihou. Thanks for the info!
Hey! Decided to farm some IB tech points this event. Is there an easy way from the character screen to check if I already got points from a ship, or do I really need to head to the Fleet technology menu every time?
For each ship you get points from having it, MLB, L120, and only those three things. Just getting all the new event IBs to MLB will net you hundreds of tech points.
You'll have to head to the fleet tech screen or create your own spread sheet.
Ah, what a shame. Thanks for answering, though. \^\^
What exactly do I do in regards to the Monster Bird Nest?
It just exchanges materials. * 10 wood -> 2 crystals * 1 crystal -> 20 wood
Whenever I tried to mess with it, I got nothing in return. I guess it's luck based then? Thank you though.
Probably a bit luck based. I tried it six times (three times a day) and only failed during the final attempt of each day.
Pretty sure it's not luck based, it's simply capped at 3 times a day because otherwise it would be a way to potentially get infinite resources.
I just tried that minigame again. It is indeed capped at three attempts. My first attempt failed, but the second and third succeeded.
I agree with the reason behind the 3 times a day cap. I need to check one more time tomorrow, whether those three are are always successful or there is an RNG aspect to it, since I have only tried the minigame twice.
I have done it four times and failed once.
I have not seen it fail, have you only tried it when you have no materials to exchange?
Is there an easy way to synchronize the ship presets between two devices?
No but perhaps you can use the upcoming gear preset share feature as an informal memory dump/cloud storage.
Not that I have found yet in my 4+ years of playing.
How do I retire cats?
You can't, you'll have to feed the lower level ones to the higher level cats
You use them to enhance other cats that you want to keep
I limited breaked some Sakura empire ships for tech points and didn’t get any? One I limit breaked for example was sakawa but didn’t get tech points to start research for kitakaze? What am I doing wrong
You only get tech points for limit-breaking ships at the final limit break.
What is the minimum time between 2 ur ships?
The shortest thus far has been one month between the end of Vangaurd's event and the start of Shinano's rerun. With NJ's rerun date still unknown thus far, it could drop at any point after this event though.
So me having only 200 cubes left is kinda dangerous?
Kinda but it could be a lot worse. Bearing in mind during UR reruns you can obtain 41 build tickets plus 52 additional cubes from dailies and weekly missions over the course of the event making that 167 pulls guaranteed by the end of NJ's rerun. Not enough to hit pity but it gives you a very good chance at pulling her even if her rerun drops right after this current event ends.
Thanks bro but I doubt that it will be right after this event it would probably be the next month
Starting to work on IB fleets to unlock the research ships. Since I'm still farming IB ships, I'm going with ships available via farming missions. I've seen reference to the Z series being a good starter vanguard in the past. What are the best Z# ships to focus on for that line?
That info was probably not true even back then. Z23, Z46, and Otto von Alvensleban are the best of the IB DDs currently with rest largely being relegated to fleet tech slaves.
Thank you both so much for your feedback. Since I have Z23, Z46 and Otto, I'll pair then up for my first IB Vanguard. Greatly appreciate the assist :)
If you havent already, z23 is a great destroyer post retrofit
Since Zwei doesn't have a UR weapon included this event, what seems to be the go-to guns for her?
Triple 406 mk6 (or mk7 if you have it) I'm guessing, thinking her damage isn't relying on doing barrages as fast as possible.
It's a mixed case, Bismarck Zwei have a black hole barrage + Geryon doing the shooting + crit salvo gimmick Of course for boss fights, triple guns are better
Probably still the triple guns to utilize her crit on first salvo, twin guns like the 406mm SKC for HE or 457mm for AP for mob fights
24,700 sync points, but I already feel burned out by META Showdowns... 2 days of 3 daily attempts would hit the target right?
Yes, it should give you enough point to hit 25k
Yeah.
In what cases would you use Bis2 UvH FDG over Musashi NJ Vanguard?
Against Light armor bosses. All the KMS barrages favor anti-light and UvH has bonus damage using HE guns while NJ loses her burning niche and Musashi has bad HE gun.
At no case. I would run Musashi BiscuitZ Vanguard instead. BuscuitZ's faction buff would need to be twice as good for FdG + UvH to keep up with a buffed Musashi.
Against a light boss, that looks like one of the best compositions. Against generic, unknown boss, stick with the classic. Here's the fun part though. Bismarck's fleet doesn't overlap with Musashi's. The only ship they both want is Agir and everyone wants her. Run both fleets
What would be the rest of the vangaurd in whicherver fleet doen't want Helena-Plymouth?
* Helena META: works in either fleet if you are running triple guns with no HSFCR * Emden: FP buff for Iron Blood fleet * Aurora/Swiftsure: would work in the Iron Blood fleet if you are running them primarily for anti-light armour These are some options I can think of. Of course nothing truly comes close to Helena or Plymouth.
Mobbing is the only one case i'd prefer the bismark fleet, but even then i'd still slot in a healer. For bossing there's no case i'd use bismark fleet over standard UR trio, they will make a great secondary BB fleet for arbiter though.
New player. Do I just feed Bismark dupes to LB her?
If you happen to have dupes yes use those to limit break, do not go fishing for dupes from gacha though. UR bulins are the primary way to limit break UR ships, there is one available from the event milestone rewards, one you should have some new player missions for and they can also be bought in the prototype shop and obtained from the free rewards in the cruise pass.
Dupes and Rainbow Universal Bullins

She remind me of Chloe from temano kedama doujin
Nope.
I don’t get that impression. What gives you that vibe?
Does Regensburg herself, as an IB ship, count as one of the two needed for her skills to work? From the skills' wording, if I'm reading them correctly I would think she does, but I'd just like confirmation 😊
She does, the skill doesn't say anything like "excluding this ship" By default, any skill thst require X number of shops will include themselves unless specified
You would think so, hey? That being said, I'd sortie three including her just to be sure because you can never have enough Iron Blood in your fleet. Putting her alongside either Mainz or her sister Magdeburg makes for some spectacular fireworks.
Yeah, there are so many powerful IB ships nowadays, you can put up pretty strong full IB fleets, least we forget there are other valid vanguards like RoomMU, Emden, Heinrich..even Adalbert is pretty strong too. IB is very strong as of now
