Is it worth it to Wishing Well Yat Sen? Who could be the other ship?

Yes, she's about the best tank you can get from permanent pool when paired with another DE ship. Since you can get chang chun from guild shop, the other ship could be kazagumo, the best carrier buffer out there.

Already have MLBed her though, maybe Swiftsure? I don't have all the new SRs featured

Swiftsure is pretty bad, the other good SR from light pool are either noshiro (which are farmable from war archives), or allen m sumner.

Already have Allen but not MLBed

Then you shouldnt pick her, fishing for extra copies from gacha is not worth it. Honestly at that point i'm not sure if its worth it anymore if you already have all the other good SR from light construction.

Fair enough, it's a waifu pick then I'll still get Yat Sen because of waifu reasons

My dock is starting to get full, what should I do? I’m new btw

Spend your gems to buy dock slots. And nothing else, if you're a free player. Gems are hard to come by unless you're buying them, and dock slots are probably the most important resource you can have if you're a collector.

You can get more dockspace for one. You get 4150 Gems guaranteed as a F2P and it's recommended to invest at least some of it into dockspace as unless you're really strict on who you keep, the base 150 is not enough for a majority of players. The other thing to do use to start getting rid of dupes. Common dupes you use as enhancement fodder while Rare and higher(rarity wise) get retired for medals to be used in the medal unless you use dupes for limit breaking.

Ty!

Will these summer skins be back next year? I just started playing the game so I don’t have like any characters. But I’m afraid of missing out.

Extra note: The exceptions to the sale are collab skins which does not make a rerun unless the actual collab itself get a rerun For the latter part, it's been confirmed that we will get collab reruns after our first experience with the DOA rerun

These skins will be rerun and eventually permanently added. In AL on EN, all none collab skins released before and not rerun before a cut-off date are made available again during Black Friday in November. The cut off date changes but last year it was June 9th.

Tysm

what’s the max amount of storage Azur lane can take up with only voices downloaded on my phone

Give or take, it's around 12.5 GB total Currently mine clocks at 13.28 GB with both L2D and voicefiles downloaded

Checked my phone. 10.62 gb without voices Checked Bluestacks. Consumed >19 gb with voice, updated music and l2d

is it any likely fro New Jersey to rerun after this event ends?

Not exactly after it. Considering that this event was a UR event, they won't run a UR rerun exactly after it. If anything, it will happen in July. Our last UR rerun happened in July. Since we seem to be following the release schedule of last year, it will more than likely happen then.

In terms of the release schedules for new URs, it has remained pretty much the same for the past 2 years. For reruns though, if anything the schedule thus far compared to last year indicated a June release rather than July. The first rerun of this year, Khorovod of Dawn's Rime took place in early January whereas the first rerun of last year, Northern Overture took place in early February. Similar can be said for Daedalian Hymn and Aurora Noctis. It's gonna happen either this month or next month though.

100% she'll rerun after this event ends. When exactly though is another matter.

so she’ll rerun after the event ends but we don’t when exactly?

Yes.

I’m sorry but I don’t quite understand your answer So your saying she’ll rerun after this event ends, basically saying she’ll rerun 6/15? I forgot how rerun events work so yeah

Cheeky meant that New Jersey have been confirmed to return this year but *exactly when* is anyone's guess since the stream don't give a concrete clue

>So your saying she’ll rerun after this event ends, basically saying she’ll rerun 6/15? No. New Jersey's rerun was confirmed a few months back during Implacable's even stream. They did not give us a date however for the rerun and still haven't up to this point. The earliest she could rerun is on the 15th right after this current event ends. In my opinion, the latest they'll realistically push her rerun is Late July as after that we have the EN and JP Annis so there wouldn't really be time for a rerun until October.

i see META as my endgame goal since they dont give fleet pts. now that they give fleet points.hHow the heck can I get Fusou Meta. 2nd is Hiyou Meta Right? is there like a chance for Fusou to get to the Meta Shop. i have ten thousands of meta materials so im ok there. thank you very much in advance!

We still don't know how will the cruise pass METAs will return but u/CrippleMyDepression have a safe assumption that they will be added into the META shop rather than having the season itself getting a rerun Another unlikely (and crazy) theory of mine is that they can do a double pass run where you do objectives to earn points for both new and old season at the same time. It's a very crazy idea but it's possible

Thanks!

I would say cruise pass META's going to the META shop is a pretty safe assumption. Could happen any time really. I think Hiyou was next, yes.

Thanks!

[удалено]

Its not possible, there are 2 vanguard ship that can launch airstrike, shirakami fubuki and ting an, i dont have fubuki but ting an doesnt have a cut-in when she launches airstrike

>I'm pretty sure the answer is no You are correct.

Is pairing Regensburg with IB essential for her to be viable? If so, what would be the best pairings?

To get the most out of her, yes. She just needs one other IB ship since she counts herself. If you have FdG, UvH, Prinz Heinrich, Mainz, then that skill is easy to fulfill. You can even pair her with the new DD as well.

Essential in the strictest sense no but practically you do want ~~two~~ one other IB ships to activate her self-buffs. Unfortunately, her debuffs have awkward timing and are minor so they aren't really worth taking advantage of so just treat her as another CL.

She doesn't need 2 other IB since she counts herself in her skill. She only needs one other IB ship.

Oh yeah, forgot that for a sec.

How necessary is limit break in here and how hard is it? I came from nikke and honestly am traumatized

You WILL get enough bulins to max limit break the ships you want, you just might need to wait for up to weeks/months to get enough of the SSR/UR ones.

It's mandatory but the longer you play the less of a bother it is. When you're a new player, it's tough. Every Bulin is super precious (They're like "wildcards" for limit break and you get a handful for free every week.) and you need the coins for a lot of other things too. But sooner or later you'll have 2 really good fleets. That makes future LBs sort of optional. You can pick and choose. Not long after that you'll be at a point where there's nothing left you NEED to LB or level up because you have multiple good fleets. Then the Bulins get kind of annoying.

As an ex-NIKKE player too, I can honestly say there is a massive difference in difficulty to achieve the end game between AL and NIKKE. With NIKKE, you need a lot of dupes, EXP mats are expensive, etc. With AL, everyone can reach the end game (even though it takes a while). Most of the materials are time-gated as in they give you few but steadily.

It's pretty much mandatory for any ship you want to use. You can, but do NOT need dupes to, limit break however. The game throws alternative materials (bulins) at you at constant rate that is greater than the rate new ships are being released. It's only a matter of time before you can max limit break everyone even if you are a new player.

Oh thank God I was reading g about it on the guide One thing I couldn't find was ultra rare bulins are they event exclusive? Brw should I pull on the limited banner, honestly like the char

There's only 4 new URs this year and this is number 2 of 4. So yes roll until you get the godzilla queen. Also once you do, start saving your cubes and gold again because there is a UR rerun for New Jersey within 1-6 weeks after this event finishes. She is equally as strong.

>One thing I couldn't find was ultra rare bulins are they event exclusive? No, you can earn enough specialized cores to get one a month from the Prototype shop, one every two months from the free portion of the cruise pass, and one from every UR event(30k even point milestone reward). They don't grow on trees but it's enough to the point where pulling for dupes period in this game is unnecessary and not reccomended. ​ >Brw should I pull on the limited banner, honestly like the char Yes. Gacha URs are always very strong and worth going for.

Ooooo Alrighty time to go all in on the banner, thanks for the help!

Remember, always go all in on the event banner and stock up on cubes during down time Permanent pools (light/heavy/special) are permanent so they can take their time

What about the wishing well? Should I do anything there?

I would just skip for the most part, you should focus on the event pool until you got what you want Wishing Well are primarily for veterans who have are nearly 100% collection rate and are trying to get the last few permanent ships there But once you're done with the event pool, I guess you could just pick 2 SRs from the light pool and pull 1 per day to stock up your cubes. Might as well make some use of it

I see for now I'm just pulling on the banner hoping I get the char let's hope it goes well

You still have nearly 2 weeks left to get the characters you want so there's still time Normally major events like this would only run for 2 weeks but since this CN anniversary and they are gonna have a large national exam, the event is given an extra week extension as compensation

Is there a recommended gun for Regen that aligns her AoA with her skill for max effect?

Nope, you're better off running regular gold CL guns since the ones used for syncing is the single 150mm gun that's the equivalent of the blue 76 but for CLs

No. The best I've seen is a gun that syncs other time and it was a shitty purple gun iirc so it's best to ignore it and use a regular CL gun.

Is there a tool out there to test PVP defensive fleet comps? It's easy enough to test offensive fleets with trial and error and constant resets but it's hard to tell what's effective (using the ships and equips I have) as a defensive fleet.

I use Shropshire in my defensive fleet for her piercing voice lines.

PVP def comp doesn't really matter, because the 20% attacker advantage and ability to reset means anyone with an equal fleet will win. Just run a meme comp like the guy on Sandy with all armpits.

I don't know about more competitive servers on CN and/or JP. But on EN you can meme def your way to top 1 by the last minute of a season (aka actual top 1), and that looks so much better than running a try hard defense fleet.

not unless you have a friend who can fight your defense fleet multiple times and test for you but why bother? meme fleets are the way to go.

Bro you gain nothing by winning in pvp but anyway no because you can't even see the battles that anyone played against you, just put the fleet that is the strongest in your opinion or the fleet that you hate facing.

Does the hull upgrade for submarines only matter to the lead sub or to all? Like, does it matter if only one gets it or should I apply it to everyone?

Torpedoes move rather slowly. The closer a sub is to her target, the higher chance her torpedo will reach the target's position before it moves away. The aux also increases a sub's movement speed, which allows them to get into range faster. It's BiS on most subs under most situations. There are a few exceptions, U-101 for example has a skill that allows her to be closer (for 18 seconds) already, and she is better off with a rainbow dildo most of the time. However, she isn't the best choice for a wolfpack in the first place anyway, so there's that.

The Pressure Hull is BiS on pretty much all subs cause you can't land torps if you're not in range.

[https://imgur.com/a/rSIPxd9](https://imgur.com/a/rSIPxd9) I dont understand what ship I'm missing other than Taihou-chan. Retrofits show nothing missing and neither do META or Priority ship

Its showing 667/668 just fine for me, you sure you're not missing a retrofit? a "not obtained" filter doesnt work there as it will only show a ship that never entered your collection, not a ship that you havent retrofitted

I recall the "unobtained" filter being not reliable for retrofits. so check if Nelson is retrofitted

Right i forgot about Nelson retrofit. Thank you

Been neglecting META ships for a while, so I have a few questions regarding it. 1) What's the best way to earn the enhancing materials for META ships? Neuroplastic, supercavitation and that kinda stuff. 2) Is there any reason for rushing the current META SHIP? (Queen Elizabeth atm). META dossiers seem way more easy to to do since you can just auto deploy and unlock at your own pace or decide to unlock the ones you want without filling your dock with ships you don't plan to use. So is there any reason to rush Queen Elizabeth META (or whatever ship that goes next) other than because you want her? (maybe I'm missing something about extra rewards or it being faster than META dossiers or something so please tell me if that's the case.

1.Doing meta showdown, finishing a meta showdown gives a lot of enhancement material. After that its buying from port shops. 2.Because the wait for rerun is at least around a year, i'm not gonna do long term planning for the game like IRL, if i can get a ship whether i want it or not, then i'm getting it right now. Especially when QEM is good right now and that's not necessary gonna be after a year.

1. From the OpSi shops, META showdown rewards, there are some in the Cruise Pass, and the new shop. 2. Well the current META showdowns are limited and won't be added to the dossiers at this rate for a year give or take. Also in the case of QE she's one of the better META ships and gives BB Hit tech if you care about fleet tech.

Thanks! I'll probably miss QE since she's about to end and I doubt I'll be able to get her.

1) completing the ladder that comes with them (being the opsi ladder or the season pass tiers). after that you can get extras from opsi port stores or the new shop added last week. 2) any progress you make on it will be retained when it returns in 12 months. but you would need 8 days to get the initial copy and ~30 to get it MLB, so it's probably not worth starting now.

Sorry for the dumb question but what's the opsi ladder?

The Meta showdown (synchronisation) points reward ladder (or any similar name you have for it)

Ooh thanks!

Since they keep giving us Augment Module Cores as event rewards instead of the T3 Augment Module Stones it's real hard to level up the unique augments. Has there been any word on them giving more leveling items?

Are you doing the weekly missions and buying the stones from the event shops? You should be swimming in the common stones for leveling them up. You can also use the generic modules as level up fodder as well, so if you have a ton of blue bows you don't use, use them as level fodder.

Yeah, I buy them any chance I get. Also do the weeklies. Currently I'm at 519/354/33 for T1/2/3 Augment Module Stones. I have 164 of the Cores, though.

Okay, am I dumb, or is the only USS buffer is New Jersey? I, for the life of me can't find one.

San Juan I guess. She also buffs AA stat for every USS ships, but it's RNG and not a permanent buff.

Depends on how you define a buffer. If you mean they only specifically buff Eagle Union Ships. There's Baltimore for EU CVs, Bunker Hill, and Prince of Wales(being 100% serious).

> Prince of Wales(being 100% serious) Phahaha, this is hillarious. Also yes, this one is perfect. I wonder what's the history behind this. Will probabbly make me dump Arizona for a Carrier because of the buff, but hey, a buff is a buff.

> I wonder what's the history behind this. [Probably a reference to the Atlantic Charter](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Charter)

This might be better for the discussion thread but it's not sticked... Can we all agree on the same suggestions for the survey so they see the same thing said over and over again? You can just c/p this list: \- raise fleet slots from 6 to 10 \- new story campaign w15 \- raise level cap to 130 \- separate gear screens for PvP and Meta Bosses so we don't have to change gear all the time \- Enterprise Meta UR \- French reunification, combine Iris Libre and Vichiya into one faction (Iris-Vichiya?) \- make type-II events separate so they DONT take up a new UR slot \- more dock filter options \- higher lvl daily mission such as lvl 120/130/140 ​ Don't remember what other good ideas there are.

1 Unnecessary. 2 I'd rather devs focus on the roguelike mode (assuming it hasn't been scrapped yet) than another new world in campaign. Even W13 hard would be better than W15 imo. 3 Completely unnecessary and actively detrimential to the already tragic state of cog chips economy. 4 Would be nice. 5 Unnecessary suggestion. It's extremely likely that she will be a UR considering her importance in the story and whatnot. 6 Basically same as above. 7 Disagree. 8 Unnecessary. I don't see what other filter options you might need. 9 I wouldn't mind but I don't think it's needed.

It seems everyone has their own and/or different opinions on this. I didn't realize I was living in my own silo so much until I saw everyone's replies.

Why would you want another level cap increase? What is the point?

To rollstomp endgame easier and also presumably there would be more cog arrays available which means you can uncap more lvl 120 ships.

The game is already built around lower level content though. Increasing the cap is just another arbitrary resource sink to complete content a small percentage of the player population bothers with.

Some enemies are lvl 128. I guess a lvl cap itself might be superfluous but coupled together with new challenging content could be fun. I think it's important to keep the small percentage of endgame players fed though with new content. I wish the upcoming challenge mode had requirements where you need 40+ lvl 120 ships and higher tiers need 40+ lvl 125 ships. Thus it's for those players with leveled collections and give new players something to work towards to.

thanks, I'm going to put "I want the rate of cog chips aquisition to match the speed at which I spend them" instead

While I don't disagree. I feel like time travel equations irl will be figured out before that perfect ratio is realized by a game dev.

At this point, just give it an arbitrary x5 boost is enough

We can dream. So far it looks like they use all their resources to make intensive small events like ryza collab and uncharted summer.

It's also good but I would like to get significantly more cog chips and cog arrays if they want to increase the level cap

For that we'd first need to agree on those points. Not input driven / will happen eventually w/o further input anyway: * World 15, Level 130 (should come with additional Cog. Array sources) * Enterprise Meta UR (probably much further down the line, like Yamato) * French reunification, combine Iris Libre and Vichiya into one faction Wasn't Iris Orthodoxy "effectively" teased by the CN stream (introduction of new faction) - or at least what everyone expected that to be in the stream threads. Either way it's certainly planned. * make type-II events separate so they DONT take up a new UR slot That would kind of defeat the whole purpose of the type-2 feature and add more URs the yearly quota (eventually: 4 new + 4 rerun). \--- Pointless waste of development resources (IMO): * Separate gear screens for PvP and Meta Bosses so we don't have to change gear all the time Good that we don't "have to" change gear for either of those. If people min/max that, then the do so by choice. Neither of those modes really warrants that. * raise fleet slots from 6 to 10 Given how underused the normal fleet slots are, that seems like a complete waste. Many modes (OpSi, PVP, Hard Mode (Campaign & Event) and certain event types) use their own independent fleets. The leftovers rarely warrant using even half of the 6+2 available slots. \--- * higher lvl daily mission such as lvl 120/130/140 While I would welcome that, given how the player level statistics commonly look, I also wouldn't expect something like that anytime soon. New daily raid types seems like a more feasible approach to me. * more dock filter options I'd rephrase that as more context-sensitive dock filter options focused on the respective area (e.g. Dorm → <120 & <150 Morale; Tactical Class: Can Level R / B / Y skill; etc.) See: META lab filters → focused on the context.

Nah. I'd be fine with most of them which is mostly just higher level content But some i dont really care enough like the french, or just disagree, like more fleet slots or type II being separate mostly. Also being a hivemind on a survey would defeat the whole point of a survey, its supposed to give them feedback from each different players, otherwise it'd just be a collective wishlist.

That's a fair/interesting point about surveys being honest feedback but I just assumed the little things would be ignored unless theyre seen as a trend. I'm not a french loyalist or anything and don't follow the story. I was just thinking one big french fleet makes senses as it would rival the power and quantity of the British fleet. Also a french reunification event could be fun and potentially dampen all the complaining in this subreddit which goes onto ad nasueum.

I've some trouble in understanding the Type 98 Delayed Firing Device: Wouldn't reducing the spread of a main gun make it more consistent damage wise? To give an example, wouldn't let's say, make the jean bart gun more consistent reducing the spread from 21 to 19, over putting let's say a white shell? That unless increasing the hit increase also the chance of a shell to end in the middle of where you aimed.

Reducing spread is kinda of a mixed bag in all honesty. What it really boils down to is that it doesn't actually make it so that you're more likely to hit the target in the first place making the spread reduction of ultimately dubious value compared to just straight-up more FP and/ or Hit stat. The passives of the shells while it has been debated of their value are also nice to have. ​ >That unless increasing the hit increase also the chance of a shell to end in the middle of where you aimed. I recommend checking the wiki to find out more on how damage is calculated but in short, hit does play a role in how likely you are to hit an enemy and crits.

Usually, when does Yostar give weddings rings to players for free?

You get one for free at start. Your region's anniversary. That is in August for us. And very rarely from special events.

During your server's Anniversery. May for CN, August for EN, and September for JP.

When is AL's anniversary event?

Different server has different anniversary date CN: May, Last week EN: August JP: Sep not sure for TW/KR

Is there any list with all live2d skins interactions/secrets? I mean those interactions where u have to tap or move around specific part etc

What is the best general auxiliaries? White shells, black shells, high standard fire control radar

I don't think any aux can be called "best" in a vacuum, different ships want completely different things. [ECTL](https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/home) has recommended builds for almost every ship though (excepting the very newest ones before they get updated, but the latest ones are there right now), I'd look to that for whoever you want to build rather than trying to over-generalize.

DD: Two 500+ HP AUX (Toolbox, Celestial Body, Goldbergh etc) CL: Washing Machine + 500+ HP Aux CA/CB: Washing Machine + EVA Aux (Beaver Badge, Cosmic Kicks) BB/BC/BBM/BBV: HPFCR + White Shell CV/CVL: Two steam catapults SS: Snorkel + Hull Design (not sure, CMIIW)

Is black+white shell for BBs also good? Or is the HPFCR just better than black shell?

washing machine? lol

Gotta do laundry on ships, lol. Just kidding. It's actually the High Performance Hydraulic Steering Gear, which looks like a washing machine at a glance, lol.

I cant remember the actual name XD Its called high steering gear or something

High Performance Hydraulic Steering?

Any first impressions about Vestal meta? she seems just a slight upgrade from the original but still pretty useless overall

>still pretty useless overall Congratulations, you found the answer.

I was confused at first when ECTL released Vestal META preliminary tiering (T2), even before she is released. Then, I remembered that both Vestal and Akashi are also in T2. Then, I laugh too loudly.

Pretty much that, her stat are near identical except for big jump of FP that are only used for hear weak barrage. Skill-wise her damage buff is near useless and the emergency healing tradeoff is also inconsequential

surface damage wise it's a infinite % increase :'D

Technically it's just undefined.

Anyone opened the HT6 compensation mail? What's inside? If its something useless like plates i'd rather have it unopened as fancy mail.

You can always open it, but leave it marked as important so you can look at it

Just various T1-T3 plates. Amount of comp packs you get seems to be based on number of HT6 runs you've done up until maintenance.

Plates. Not sure how they determined how much you'll get but it's just all plates.

The number of packs they sent is the number of HT6 clears you had, when you open it it just rolls the usual stage clear rng to determine the plates once per pack. Can also drop some dorm food rarely, got a few tempura in mine

It's just plates.

Do limited time buyable skins eventually become permentantly buyable skins? I can't justify buying skins currently but hopefully will be able to in a few years so I'm wondering if the current limited skins will eventually become permentantly avaliable.

yes. for event tied skins they tend to become permanent with the event's archival. for seasons-tied skins they tend to become permanent 2 years later (like the 8 skins that became permanent yesterday https://twitter.com/AzurLane_EN/status/1663878001069641729?cxt=HHwWgsC-tb6OpJcuAAAA )

Typically, non-collab skins will rerun in the future^1. There is also Black Friday, where you can buy previously time-limited skin^2. ^1 Well, we just have our first rerun (DoA) last month and Manjuu said we'll have another collab rerun soon^(TM). But, the rule of thumb is collab skins won't rerun under normal circumstances. ^2 Usually, there is a cut-off time of approximately 6 months before the Black Friday event.

I will note the cut off last year was June 9th iirc.

So about 5-6 months-ish? I know that Emanuelle's skin was released in July and I'm a bit annoyed that it's outside of last year cut-off date.

Nice if we follow last year's cut off I can buy NJ skin

I got two copies of the new meta sub from grinding the event and they got converted into items which I asume are used to limit break her in the meta lab. Now I saw that you can buy four of those items in the event shop for 2k event currency each. My question is what happens when I buy all four in the shop? Will two just lay around in my inventory with no use or will they get converted into some other ressources instead? Should I just not buy them all?

Any additional crystals you get beyond what is needed to max limit break the U-556 META will be converted into currency for the META shop.

IIRC you will only able to purchase two extra U-556 crystals, and if you somehow got her as a drop, the extras will be converted to another currency for META shop.

Question about General blueprints. For What exactly are they ? Is there any Ships i should prioritize ? I have Special Blueprints too.

They're used to convert to BPs of the desired ship and use it to enhance said Research ship

Any tips for clearing world 13?

Mob fleet I used back in the day Unicorn, Perseus, Ryuuhou (just put all healers to play safe) San Francisco, Sandy,Seattle for dakka Mob fleet I use now Yorktwon, Enty and A healer San Francisco, Reno, Sandy

More carrier, less battleship Have strong AA in your comp And that's about it without anymore specific

Bring good AA. Use circle formation.

Noshiro, Reno, Montieplier, Belfast, akagi muse, prinz eugen , Alabama Hood, Scylla, Ryuuhou, Gascone muse, massachusets, Interpid, Sirus , Doy ,kazagumo, Taihou, Marie Rose, graf Zeppelin, Royal fortune These are the sr ships that I can limit break . Which one should I choose for world 12 and above ?

Kinda depends TBH on what you have. The only two that I could gurenteee are Sirius and Kazagumo, the two currently staples in OpSi CV boss fleets.

I would suggest Alabama and Ryuuhou, since their do good mobbing, besides ryuuhou amd alabama helps w13 in the future Kazagumo would be good too if u got harkuryuu and shinano, or Any carrier fleet u plan to build in the future.

I have 2 Kazagumo Should I level up both of them or use 1 to lim break other.

Generally -- as per the [FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/wiki/faq/#wiki_should_i_keep_duplicate_ships.3F) \-- because it is not possible to deploy duplicate ships in the same fleet, nor in any Operation Siren fleet; and that new ships are regularly and frequently introduced into the game, causing dock space (which Commanders need to spend gems, Azur Lane's premium currency, to expand) to be a limiting factor, unless she is a waifu you must absolutely keep every copy of, there is little reason *not* to use your duplicate Kazagumo for limit breaking.

A couple of those there could use the LB and continue to be useful ch12 and beyond, but which to prioritize will depend on your current dock.

how will algerie meta be obtainable

She'll replace QE META when she rotates out of the META Showdown in six days.

big sad, I JUST unlocked the ability to do Meta Showdowns

QEM should be back in a year or so in dossier, you're not missing much.

ah ok, I feel like there are so many ships I'll never be able to get or I've missed out on. I did an exercise this morning against a lvl 145 player and I had never heard of any of the 6 ships in his fleet and I promptly got my ass handed to me...lol

> a lvl 145 player Nah man, those are the w13 blue drop ships and old monthly login ships. (what do you mean I'm not the lv 145 player he means? sure my defense fleet is ungeared, and only has music auxes so it's weird they would have won against him in the first place but it could totally be me) /jk

lmao

All non-collab ships will be back at some point, but it'll take quite some time to collect for newer players.

Like all other OS METAs to date, by doing META Showdowns after earning the coords in OS.

will she also be the first UR meta? or no

Doubt it. There's no reason for it to be UR.

I wanted to ask is the following gear good for NJ? Twin 457mm gun +12 127mm gun +11 High standard radar +11 Super heavy shell(black) +12 Twin 40mm Bofors + 11 Any advice is welcome,sadly i missed original run of Mirror involution so i wasn't able to obtain NJ and her original gun so that's why I'm using Georgia gun

Mk7 is a niche gun for HE shelling. When NJ reruns you'll have a chance to get the gun anyway. NJ pretty much just wants what you use on any BB, appropriate for the content, what you listed there isn't bad, but it depends on what you're using it for. Obviously bringing the gear to +13 would be even better. There's a better option for aux gun with the twin 137 in lab. Aux guns also don't really get much being enhanced past +10, I'd recommend "upgrading that twin 127 to 137 to recover the plates.

Thanks,i plan to use that gear on NJ for both W12 and PvP , currently i am chapter 12-3 right now.

457 is an AP gun, so it wouldn't be that great against light bosses that you still have upcoming, but otherwise works fine against the larger assortment of medium and heavy enemies you'll see in coming stages. It's also good for PvP. Whether a white shell will be better than the black shell is a bit up in the air. NJ is overkill for 12 and 13 anyway, should be fine if your comps are working overall.

Well I'll have NJ instead of August in the main fleet after i get NJ. My main fleet currently AvP(i have all correct equipment for her except JU-87D4 bomber) Musashi(don't have her 460mm UR gun but i did put currently twin 410,i plan on building triple 410mm currently collecting BPs for the gun) for secondary i use 155mm gun and also black white shell combo,all gear on musashi is +10,i do plan to upgrade it more when i collect plates.. Shinano Z23 Ägir Blücher

Ch12 and 13 are really old stages that have been beaten with far weaker ships and equipment. Replacing AvP in that fleet should be fine for bosses. Agir will do fine in main tank throughout, but you may want to replace Z23 or Blucher with an AA carry when you move on the ch13.

Thanks,tho i wanna keep blücher cuz waifu reasons. I plan to move August to second fleet. My second fleet currently: Kaga(yes i know she's paired with akagi but she will be replaced by August when i get NJ) FdG(Twin 406mm +7 and 155mm +6) Bismarck Zwei(i use twin 406 mm +9,i plan to add third 155mm when i get from boxes) (i said 3rd bc i use 1 on Musashi and one od FdG already) Spee Eugen Z23

Keeping Blucher is fine, but you'll have to repalce Z23 in that boss fleet for a AA carry, or otherwise bring another strong carrier to drop one of the BBs. The second fleet I'd assume is for mobbing, you'll definitely want the guns at +10. You're also missing an AA carry there for when you move on to ch13. I can't say for sure if just having FdG will help you kill fast enough for the planes to not overwhelm you.

Yes 2nd is for mobing, which AA carry would be good? Originally i had Bismarck (original) and Tirpitz but bc they're weak I replaced them with Bismarck zwei and FdG(FdG is lvl 82 and Bisco Zwei 83)

What will happen if I use 2x oil on oil capped maps ?

It's exactly what it said: Oil cost and morale drain are doubled but you get twice the loot and XP Basically tunning the same map twice

HELPs just counts it as running twice, i.e. it'll cost twice the oil cap.

Then let's say you get choukai from w12 does that mean you get 2 copies of her or you get her and another drop and it could be her or could be another one?

The 2 runs are rolled separately. You *can* get 2 in a HELP run, like how someone rolled both Kaga and Akagi for 3-4, but the chances are rather low.

Just hit 5k points for Queen Elizabeth META Since there’s only a week left, does that essentially mean that she’ll be stuck at 3* forever, or will there be some other way to get the additional copies after the event period ends?

Her dossier should be added in about a year's time. The ladder will be exactly where is when you leave it. You should see the older METAs in there now from previous years.

that’s great to know, thank you

My main boss fleet is royal oak, monarch, enterprise. Should I put Bismarck 2 in royal oak's place?

Monarch should really be in a mob fleet, so that's an easy change.

I hate to break this to you but Monarch is a medium/heavy boss ship.

I hate to break it to you, but while her self healing makes her work in a boss fleet, her barrage is a textbook mob clearing ability. Learn how the ships actually work and why they're good before you go around "correcting" people.

Her healing is absolute rubbish. If it needs to activate, your Monarch has taken too much damage. If you wanted to argue the heal was useful, it should also be for mobbing, not bosses, where you can use it to last through more fights. Monarch's barrage while has a wide-ish frontal pattern actually has less spread than Hood. It's also AP and does squat against generic light trash. The slow also functions better as a boss support, if you bother to get the timings right. I'm pretty sure I know how Monarch works, but I'm not sure if you do.

Your comments indicate otherwise. She works very well in both, but she's better in mob than boss, and you'd know that if you knew anything about *why* people recommend ships or configurations instead of just parroting what others have told you or what you've read in the tier list.

Doing basically no dmg with the barrage against light armor enemies which are very common in mob fights isn't really something that a mob ship does. Monarch's barrage has tight enough spread to make it good against bosses with the slow being a cherry on top. Besides, having splash dmg is useful even in boss fights in campaign since there are usually additional enemies around the boss which are often worth taking out. In OS bosses tend to be alone but they also have pretty big hitpoints and are generally easy to hit so while Monarch's not as effective, she's still perfectly fine there.

While bossing is definitely her best place, i think y'all are undervaluing her performance in mob fleet. In OpSi and especially in w14, hitting both Light and Heavy armors are really important, hence why FdG usually wants AP guns with her HE barrage for mobbing. Against w14 BB fleets, which are pretty big, her barrage is amazing. While her defensive skill isn't that great, it's still a decent safety net to hold her til your healers attack, if necessary, so no, it's not useless. The game isn't a formula of HE = mob/AP = boss, there's a lot a different cases.

It's ok that person is clearly a Monarch simp, you have a fantastic explanation but it's wasted since they won't listen

I can't say for sure which will be better/worse between Royal Oak and Monarch or by how much, but where will be using this fleet?

Boss w13 especially. And everywhere else because I'm not good enough to change the boss fleets yet

Then yes you're probably fine replacing Royal Oak if you're done leveling and LBing Bismarck.

Does the number of your participations in Guild Boss Battle affect the amount of rewards you get after the boss is defeated? Or will you still get the gold plate rewards even though you didn't participate in battle even once?

The reward per player for each event is fixed, but you should need to have participated in the event to get the rewards. So you could have say, do 1 fight for the guild op boss and died in 10s dealing almost no damage, but still get full rewards, but not get anything if you didn't even try. Similarly for the events along the way you should need to have at least sent 1 set of ships out for it to get the rewards.

So at very least I should join the battle once?

Yes.
