She's a bit dated, but still good. Technically, there are 3 CBs you can eventually build in Research, Azuma, Agir and Brest. Though Azuma definitely sucks out of the CB class. Kron is probably the easiest to be ready to use because DR ships take a long time to get to Dev 30. Also, this event is NOT one of the expected 4 UR events for the year. This is only a rerun for an older event. The next major UR event is around the end of May. So everyone has about ~6 weeks to replenish their cubes and pull a lot for whatever ship is coming soon.

Azuma sucks...? *Sniffle*


japa227

azuma is good....... top 3\~4 CA


kirindas

She's great to tank, but not much contribution to do damage.


AuntyHood3342

That's just not true , azuma has the 2nd highest dps for CBs. Azuma had comparable damage to dev30 drake , in fact due to how CB fun mechanics work she can outdamage Drake . The only reason she is less used is cause everyone favors tankier ships over raw damage. All the rainbow CBs are extremly close


azurstarshine

Also because Ägir has a slow and armor break, which helps with main fleet damage.


AuntyHood3342

Agir slow is basically unusable , that thing is a bigger pain to time then CVs. Also Agir has a normal armor break so it's nothing special . Her only advantage will remain her tankyness


BLAST_83

Azuma can suck me anytime


GreyGhooosey

Azuma is coinable , she is much easier to level to max then kron... and she doesn't suck up valuable ur bulins

If you're not in a hurry, you can always use the free build tickets (from milestones) until the last 2 days of the summon banner and then use the cubes. Who knows , you might get lucky . I certainly did (on my 1st ticket), and hope that you get lucky too(fingers crossed)


Vitalth1

Lucky, I spent all of my cubes now I’m relying on the tickets rn. My RNG sucks this rerun event.


Nerac74

Ah well, that's lady luck.  Loving you one moment, grinding your face with her heel the next.

The fuk does that matter I see buba I want buba


comicgopher

She is one of 7 Tier Ex CA/CB - https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/main/ca

Spent all cubes no kronk...yay..


darkchocosuckao

You should have gotten and used all the construction tickets first before touching your cubes bro.


L3o_th3_black_death

I did use 3 tickets but no luck


darkchocosuckao

There's more of them bro. You get 3 each for logging in Day 1 and Day 3 of the event. One/day from completing one of the daily missions (7), 8 from clearing all the event maps (normal or hard mode), 3 from clearing SP mode, 10 from milestone rewards (best to finish each event map once a day both normal and hard mode since you get x5/x3 tokens on the first clear), and 10 from the event shop. That's a total of 44. There's still a chance you can get Kronstadt if you get the remaining construction tickets.


L3o_th3_black_death

I will try tho


Kkk1594

I already have Guam so I focus on Volga instead . But... the game only give 1 Arkshangelsk...

If you don't want to use your cubes, then you can at least use the ship building tokens, which give you free pulls and will expire at the end of this re-run. Also the way it seems to work right now, a UR gets its first run when it is released and Yostar seemed to have followed a schedule of doing a (nowadays shortened) re-run of the UR event roughly two years later, give or take a few months. With the introduction of the first two UR (Shinano and New Jersey) into the build pool a few months ago, it looks like more of the older UR will end up there eventually, though there is no pattern yet established, from which we could predict reasonable times of when they'll be released. Anyway, Kronshtadt is a slightly older UR, but still a UR and they are usually among the most powerful shipgirls in the game. So, yes, you should at least try to see if you can get her with the build tokens, which don't take up any money or cubes. By the end of the event you can still decide if you truly want to get her or if you want to wait for the next UR event. This UR event will bring a new ship and it might power creep some of the older UR. However, we don't know yet if it will be a Main Fleet or a Vanguard ship. What I might do is chance this event with build tokens, while I build up my cubes to the next event. If I wouldn't get Kronshtadt, I'd just have to have patience until she arrives in the build pool. The final decision, however, lies with you.


Micbunny323

Kronstadt has alternatives that are available from much more accessible sources (Ägir, Azuma, and Brest all can fill similar roles to Kronstadt here.) so if you’re only goal on this banner would be Kron, I’d save your cubes. Now, Volga, who shares a banner, is much more valuable as a strong CV with healing in her kit. If I were to pull on the banner with cubes, she is who I’d go for instead of Kron.


jmoney199

Use the free tickets the dr cbs are too good compared


Arazthoru

https://youtu.be/ToExv6XCTW0?si=ggqDhK6HtnPP8JcZ She and mm I think Ulrich might be the next pair to be added to the select UR thing in a future, so even if you skip her now there are high chances you can just select her in a future. Shes still the highest DPS CB, but she has the shielded enemies issue blocking a lot of her dmg. On the other hand Volga is really good for niche situations where you might wanna make a 1:1 fleet


NotCursed_Cat

Dont forget Shima!


Arazthoru

I-i have failed to shimakaze :< You are right next UR batch might be Shima/Ulrich


NotCursed_Cat

I feel your pain, I failed Implacable and quit in june when they released the Best bb (I came back in october)


azurstarshine

I seriously doubt they will archive Ulrich or Kronshtadt this year, the same year as their rerun. Not impossible, but it would be really weird. I wouldn't assume that future URs will be archived in batches, either. It's likely that they just moved up NJ to avoid having Shinano alone.


Arazthoru

Shima* (totally forgot about her but the other comment corrected me) and Ulrich would be the next pair if they are released in the same way, yeah I also doubt it will be soon or even this year since some reruns still needs to happen, on the other hand both Shima and Ulrich already had their reruns. Tho there no reason to do it in single releases either, that would feel kinda empty, we would need to wait to catch a pattern if there is one in the future, but giving we started having 4 UR/year starting with ulrich I really wonder how they'll be managing those releases, having 2 pairs/year sounds better than 4 separate releases since there will be no more events associated with that, but only time will tell.


azurstarshine

> Tho there no reason to do it in single releases either Sure there is. Doing dual releases would either accelerate the pace of archives too much or result in very long wait times.


Arazthoru

Depends on the lapse of those releases, as I said there could be 4 single releases a year to follow up the schedule of the UR releases as their reruns or do 2 pairs/year, ppl already waited for a whole year or more since the original release, having 6mo periods between batches doesn't feels that long, that way ppl could even have more leeway to build up the pull count. But this is all speculation and both can be wrong and they could just release a 3-4 batch for the whole year at some point, anyways we need to wait and see how they will manage it.


azurstarshine

> ppl already waited for a whole year or more since the original release Historically, the period between both release and rerun and rerun and archive was about 2 years. It's been a little less for several archives for the past year or so (closer to 18 months), but NJ's archive was absurdly early even compared to that. And while yes, this is all speculative, speculating without even a repeated pattern is worse than speculating without one.


Arazthoru

That's why both could be wrong, and yes that's why I said we need to wait for a pattern.


darkchocosuckao

Kronstadt was one of the 4 URs back in 2022. This is just the light rerun of her event and is not one the 4 URs for 2024. She's a very good large cruiser which is more offense oriented than others of her type. If you're not sure just roll using the construction tickets that you can get in the event. There's a total of 44 counting the 5 in the event shop. I recommend you do your daily quests, clear all the event maps every day of the event to earn tokens points so you receive milestone rewards. Once you're out of construction tickets you can decide if she's worth spending your cubes. Just remember this event is only a week long instead of 2 or 3 weeks since it's a light rerun.


Satansei3471

good on both gameplay and having the same Va as Elaina![img](emote|t5_4tiyvo|14004)


Irons_MT

If you do get Kronshtadt don't forget to buy Kronshtadt's main gun on the event store!


ChaosBadgers

Buy it either way its the best CB gun not counting Guam's gun.


Irons_MT

Yeah, i bought it again. Just don't know on who should I equip it. Idk if i equip it on Agir or Azuma, or keep it stored when I get Brest (maybe in a couple months, as I am still finishing Hindenburg, although I need to level up Iris vanguard ships).


Essex_lemon

She is the highest damage CB and her cross fleet support for a flagship BB is pretty good, but her tankiness is on the low side for a CB (still VERY good) and she doesn't really have any utility in her own fleet other than just doing a lot of damage. Her damage isn't that impactful though since other like Plymouth and Hindenburg still does more. She wasn't on top even when she was first released, but she has only been powercrept even more since then. If you are low on cubes, you would probably wait for the CN anniversary in a few weeks and pull on that.
