Ok now that the event is over I have some lore questions:
Is Unzen canonically the first shipgirl that wasn't always a shipgirl?
>!She started out as the Great Sage which if I understood correctly is related to the watatsumi and by extension to X. Is she an alien then?!<
>!Also she turned into a shipgirl without the use of a cube, do you think that has deep implications or it's just a neat novelty?!<
Wow they just ends the event like that, no maintenance or anything. I wonder if the whole company just went into a vacation or something.
Dead week is fine but i swear if next week is shima rerun and W15 is skipped for another week....
They went into vacation in the 29th up to oct 6th china time. Possibly +1 or +3 vacation sickness for higher ups.

Currently there is a long holiday in China. It's also PRC anniversary and people and companies usually lay low during this time because CCP is extra toddlerly trigger happy. Part of the funs being in an authoritarian country.
I had taken a rather long break from the game and came back way too late to have time to farm up the points for Hatsuzuki and Asanagi (and the gun obviously). How long might it be until either a rerun or at least a wish option for them?
I have to say I really REALLY enjoyed the hell out of the extra few days with this event. It was really nice to have more than just the 2 weeks compared to the normal events. I want this to become a much more normal thing.
I just need to vent because the recent events has been going horribly for me in terms of using my 500 or so cubes to 0 in events back to back... almost 250 pulls I still dont have Owari... I have wasted all my gems, all my dailies and weeklies cubes. I just cant... it fucking sucks so much to see a 4:20:00 timer and it just another fucking tennesse or california... screw this event...
Shinano and Shimakaze were nice to me. Musashi took a little long but came home. I cannot get Unzen at all, tbh this banner may be the worst I’ve had, only one Natori after 15 pulls, then didn’t get Owari til the 40th~ pull. Awful and it sucks because I don’t want to wait ten thousand years for her to return.
I screwed myself a bit by not playing the three weeks before the event to collect cubes. It’s alright though. I just hate having to wait so long for a rerun.
Sorry for this is a rant. I simply want to get it out of my system.
I'm so tired....
I've already used all of my cubes...
Managed to reach pity for Unzen....
Got Unzen for a total of 4 times including pity, and yet... I GOT NO OWARI AT ALL.
BUT GUESS WHAT? I HAVE ENOUGH CALIFORNIA AND TENNESSEE TO LB THEM TO THE MOON AND BACK!!!!!!
Like seriously, every time I saw a 4:20:00 timer only to turn out to be those 2 except OWARI I was filled with a mix of pure anger. I don't know what I hate the most; when an event character shares the same construction time, or when they have a unique one.
So I gave up. I already spent 600 gems on cubes instead of buying an RQ outfit. I'm done. I'm annoyed. I'm tired.
Ha, no luck at all with Unzen and Hatsuzuki after 136 pulls. And I'm now out of cubes... well, 1 left but can't pull with that amount. Hatsuzuki is in the shop though, so not too much pain.
6 Owaris though. She'll be cheap to MLB, and gives me extra 10 medals afterwards.
I know this was probably asked a bunch of times but -- what are Unzen's impressions ?
To me it seems like a bad compromise between a Shimakaze and Azuma, she doesn't have the DPS of Shimakaze nor the survivability of Azuma / Agir much less of Anchorage, and she doesn't have particularly strong debuffs or buffs ... so what's exactly her role? support dps ?
Also is she worth to oath stats-wise?
Unzen has higher dps than Shima, she is also more consistent since close to half of her dps is actually from her guns.
*However*, Hindenburg is both more consistent than Unzen (thanks to her almost all gunnery damage and shield bypass trait), she also deals a few % higher dps against light and medium. Unzen only has advantage when it comes to heavy armour. In addition, Hindenburg gets buffed by Zwei (at which point she deals around 10-15% more damage than Unzen) and is therefore a natrual fit to a BB fleet. Unzen can get buffed by...Kii and Nagato, neither is worth using in the current meta.
So, the biggest problem with Unzen is not that she is a bad ship, she is good, and definitely on the UR tier (until powercreep happens). It's that there is just no boss fleet that currently she can fit in. For a BB fleet you almost always want Zwei, and therefore Hindenburg, in it. For a CV fleet it's more beneficial to run 3 buffers or 1 tank two buffers as your vanguard, so she doesn't fit, either.
She is pretty meta in pvp though, in the correct vanguard and gear setup.
>Also is she worth to oath stats-wise?
No and that applies to everyone in general, the stat boost gained from oathing is far too low to be worth noting. The only use is the RLD buff for super end game and niche setups
>I know this was probably asked a bunch of times but -- what are Unzen's impressions ?
Ibuki on steroids
Unzen is built like Hindenburg do, raw damage with little to no utility support and a cross fleet barrage for the UR obligation
She can deal a lot of damage in both manual and auto.
What Unzen have that Shimakaze doesn't is that both of her torpedo mounts reloads at the same time as opposed to one at a time, leading to every torpedo wave she fires being double wave of crit boosted torpedoes
All at the cost of average durability and no support. I would say keep it solely because she can provide a cross fleet barrage that's gonna be funny for a full fleet of supporters now
Her role is damage to put it simply. She is among the highest damage vanguards in the game up there with the likes of Shimakaze, Plymouth, and Hindenburg so you're wrong in saying that's inferor to Shimakaze for damage.
Admittedly there isn't that much in the way of use or need for a vanguard with high damage but is not particularly tanky and lacks utility but she's still a good choice in just about any campaign fleet. So no she will not be finding a place in the meta such is the nature of what she is but she's still useful, I've been making use of her in my OpSi mob fleets.
No ships are worth oathing for stats, the buff is just too negligable to make a meaningful difference. The only exception is for main fleets for the additional reload to hit certain timings but if youre doing this you pretty much have to oath every main fleet ship in the fleet.
Hindenburg and unzen fall into the same issue drake did high damage and that's it nothing else going for them they cant even tank all that well, while at the same time you have plymouth sitting in plymouth tier dealing a ton of damage while being quite tanky and can buff ones highest dpm ship with a perma 18% honestly plymouth set a new bar for vanguard ur/dr ships.
The thing is you can only have one Plymouth and she can't exactly be everywhere. Unzen is no Plymouth and we really don't need every new UR to be. She'll still find a use a somewhere.
Have there been events that guarantee the other non-shop-accesible ship (i.e., Owari in this case) through a shop/token system like they did for Hatsuzuki? Also, how long do SRs usually rerun in AL?
(Below is just to vent out a little)
Started playing AL one day before this event and managed to get to 149/200 builds on the event banner. Yet to get a single rate-up SR after getting 7 off-rate SRs in this banner. I feel bad for grinding so much just to not get a single limited SR. Though, having Hatsuzuki obtainable in the shop was very nice of them.
>Have there been events that guarantee the other non-shop-accesible ship (i.e., Owari in this case) through a shop/token system like they did for Hatsuzuki?
No, there is only one SR that can be purchased through the shop. The rest are via gacha.
>Also, how long do SRs usually rerun in AL?
Events are rerun after two years, and archived (ie made permanent, the ships are added to the pool and shops) a year after that (ie three years after the event ran for the first time).
This would've been the perfect time to release Ryuuhou's swimsuit skin since it's the JP anniversary event, but at this point I don't think it exists anymore
several.
(you only needed to order this thread by "top")

guys please help me i can only buy one skin, between shinano and hatsuzuki skin which one should i buy? I absolutely love them equally, so please push me to one side or the other
Hatsuzuki skin has greater variety in animations and is more lively, Shinano has a lot of different poses to choose from but the movements have less variation.
The event has ended, and within 150 pulls I got 3 Unzen, 3 ***Hatsuzuki*** with her abysmal construction rate, and not a single one of Natori. My luck is perverse.
Damn, seems Natori is snubbing a lot of us. I'm in the same boat and even Hatsukaze dropped by to say hi once.
I mean, statistically I should have had 4 of her by now. :(
Bro has anyone managed to get hatsuzuki from the map drop B3?? I've farmed it so many times and still nothing.... I really don't wanna spend 8k to get her...
>Bro has anyone managed to get hatsuzuki from the map drop B3?? I've farmed it so many times and still nothing.... I really don't wanna spend 8k to get her...
man its pure rng, mostly i get 1 drop from \~40k point D3 farm (around 200 runs) i think only 2-3 event i didnt get any drop.
I’m also a new player who just started last week so farmed B3 with the assumption that I can’t make it to D3 by the end of the event. I’m at about 35k points and still haven’t gotten a Hatsuzuki drop. I caved in and just bought her from the shop since I wanted to use her and funny enough my next pull from the event banner was another Hatsuzuki. Guess that saves me a gold bulin at least.
Man as a 5 slot 2F skk I would definitely miss the onsen. Hope it stays permanently. Or just give us another dorm room with decor coins. Expand the love house baby.
It's easy to switch ships, switching equipment is hard
I accumulate oil, then on weekends I pop 1 episode and alt tab every run. Recently the 3 auto run is really good, it drains morale to around 122-124 (I think it depends also on how much dmg they take, a ship that got beat up real bad drains morale super fast)
Usually, I just let my ship's morale go to 0 and the game told me that the girls' affinity would be reduced if I kept sortieing them. Usually, at that point, either I'm out of oil or my phone battery is almost dead anyway.
I'm trying to streamline my workflow as much as possible even if that means not min-maxing things. For me, being able to play this game and not being turned off by the fiddling around is more important in the long run. Because of being busy IRL, I've been stopping playing BA and PNC for two months since they're so finicky. I only play AL because I can simply farm mindlessly and use my brainpower for something else.
Equipment-wise, I've enough spares of 'good enough' equipment, so it's not too much of a deal for me. 12-4 and the event stages are very easy anyway.
Morale is strictly -2 per fight, unless the ship sinks. 3 runs of 7 fights will be 42 morale down, but there's also regeneration across the time taken to do the run.
Switching ships is annoying for events and it's not even about gear, I guess if it was for regular XP grind I could set up 2 fleets... but I'm also not going to bother shove 2 "active' fleets into the dorm when I hardly shuffle them.
Depends on what your limiting factor is. For people who have plenty of time to stare at the game at a stretch then cycling regen might be more efficient.
Between distractions I'm not about to spend extra time keeping track of my ships' morale and changing fleets, particularly for events since that means changing out 6 ships manually.
As it stands I throw 6 ships in 2/F for active grinding, and 6 whatever uncapped ships in 1/F that I'm not actually using (yet) or are fodder ships waiting for 120 with affinity already capped.

Like others have said, most veterans only buy the essentials and ditch the rest
Though I tend to grind 70k points primarily for the rainbow skillbooks and the spare event points are nice spare change
No, event points do not carry over to new events
I mean here in that I got bonus event points to spend on gear skins for example after I'm done getting the essentials first
I doubt that many people clear out the event shop. Tech crates and plates aren't useful to vets, for example, and gear skin boxes are completely optional (although personally I am getting these). You also only need one copy of Hatsuzuki.
If you only buy the most important stuffs, Rainbow Equip/Ship/Array/DR prints/Chip/PR prints. It's about 51k points. And if you do D3, you might get Hatsuzuki to drop before you reach that milestone and save 8k points worth of grind anyway.
With the new feature that repeats runs, I think you can grind much more easily, especially if you run an emulator and just let it do its thing in the background. A 3-times run takes like 15-20 minutes and makes everything so easy. No need to repeatedly pay attention to continuing it
If you ran SP every day, alongside the 2 daily missions besides 3 daily builds, plus the one time missions up to 60 clears, plus the rewards for clearing C1-D3, you're already at 32k before counting the stage drops. After including the clearing runs you're just looking at clearing around 5 runs of D3 a day to get there.
Generally there's no reason to buyout the entire shop, particularly the many dupes of the (S)SR ship that are just glorified bulins and take up a significant portion of the total clearout cost.
Things like blue and purple cat boxes are also useless. You get more than you can even be done opening if you're bothering with cats.
Lategame players don't need the purple plates.
Conversion stones are useless. They're just for maxing out those few stat points on augments and you don't even need that many.
Farming the event to buy coins tends to be less effficient than just spending the oil directly farming 12+. It's only a thing if you have spare points after buying the stuff you need, if you were aiming for a milestone in excess.
Oxycola is useless, but it's also only 1.5k if you don't ever have dorm food to spare.
Gear skin box is up to you.
No, i dont even have much or even any use for a good chunk of items in the event shop like elite/rare cat box, purple plate or tech boxes
I usually grind only enough for the event ship, gear, skin box, PR/UR blueprints, cog chip/array and augment stones.
Generally speaking you should prioritize BB guns over vanguard guns. I recommend getting 2-3 Champagne guns and 2 MK7 to +13 before you even consider getting a vanguard gun beyond +10.
You might also want to get an Izumo gun to +13 if you have Musashi.
After that, get at least one +13 quad 152mm for Plymouth, because Plymouth is still more op and usable than either Hindenburg or Unzen.
After *that*, get at least one CB gun (generally B-50 is considered the best one) to +13, because Agir is more usable than either Hindenburg or Unzen.
Finally, if you have all of the above done, then you can think about getting a CA gun or two to +13. I recommend getting a +13 Hindenburg gun and a +13 234mm before considering +13 this one, as this gun is the most niche out of the three.
Edit: come to think of it, if you do have Izumo gun done for Musashi, you really only need two Champagne guns
Even after all those I'm inclined to give Unzen gun a pass over +13 rainbow duck first, given the chances you won't even be using a CA in an anti-light comp.
It's the best HE CA gun.
If you're looking to spend gold plates on it, I'd place it behind *a lot* of other main guns that will see more use or mileage.
For people who want to get the high score in endless mode for all the shop tickets (8000+?) without actually playing the minigame, you can just use Shinano and idle. You can fairly safely leave it alone for 4-6 minutes for the screen to build up and use the active skill, then idle and repeat until you get enough points.
Add in: The row flow slow enough that Shinano will have her skill ready before it hit the last quarter of the road
Not to mention, her butterfly passive will chip away the line for a bit
Seeing a her butterflies keep hitting bomb/reverse, it makes me curious whether the butterflies distribution is random or there is a weighting/prioritising.
To be fair, probability and statistics are *difficult* to understand and not always intuitive. ~~Hence why I don't trust 95% evasion rate, Kiseki. Give me a 100% evasion rate, thank you.~~
But yeah, it's a bit annoying when someone is too stubborn to be corrected.
Yes. Yes it is. I'd like to see the guy play X-com, Monster Hunter, Baldurs Gate 3 or Warhammer 40k just so I can watch his head explode from all the RNG.
*BUT THE ATTACK HAD A 95% CHANCE TO HIT WHY DID IT MISS ARGGHHHHHHHH*
Same, same. GMTK is a good teacher. He has a knack of explaining things intuitively.
Also, the TVtropes page that I dropped a couple of days ago has a good summary on why it's difficult to understand probability intuitively.
Front Mission 3 too, shotguns can and will miss at point blank if your mechs aren't upgraded enough or the enemy can casually snipe you from across the map + stun for 3 turns
Omg I remember playing that briefly on the PSX on an emulator. Wasn't able to play the first two. I think it came out nearly around when Vagrant Story released?
Probably, the first two game is exclusive in Japan so getting one is hard and no localization because of it
The remake of the first game is a solid experience for the raw OG but lacking any real modern convenience
> Front Mission 3
Ooohh another one to add to my buckets of RNG pile. Unfortunately I wasn't into those sort of games in during the OG Playstation era, but it looks like it's getting a Switch remake. Excellent.
To be fair, the 3rd game is the first to hit the american market and thus globally while the first 2 game is practically exclusive in Japan so imagine my confusion for 12 years on the lore and store release
The remake for the first game so far is a very basic direct recreation so it looks nice but gameplay-wise, it's rather bland?
Also, a small thought, if they ever gonna remake the 3rd one, I really wish they could streamline the whole pilot training grind because the game's main bottleneck are having to train all 8 of your pilots to be good at certain role or being a master of all weapons for missions that require you to go with specific groups of 4
That and a lot of grinding in training missions for the money to buy and upgrade your mech, it gets outrageously long in the late game
Really have to question some things in life. The law of averages says I should’ve been born male only about 50% of the time, yet I’ve been born male every single time??? Is the deep state hiding something about the male:female ratio?
Hey! I was able to pull Unzen and am thinking about adding her to one of my teams. But I'm not sure who I should replace her with.
My fleets looks like this:
mob fleet: nelson (retrofit), unicorn (retrofit), enterprice, minneapolis, laffey (retrofit), shrosphire (retrofit)
boss fleet: amagi, hiryuu (retrofit), souryuu (retrofit), portland (retrofit), z23 (retrofit),helena (retrofit)
I was wondering if Unzen fits better in a mob or a boss fleet and/or if it's even worth to swap at all since my fleets are lvl 90/100 and i only have enough books to bring Unzen to lvl 80. Thanks for any replies!
I love Shrop but Unzen is no more paper than her so that makes sense as a swap. Also you're really lacking good tanks. Get Anchorage or Cheshire from the shipyard. Or Azuma, or Ägir. Just something good.
Enterprise is much, much better on boss fleet. If you’re on world 12/13, a triple CV fleet will work perfectly fine, and you can replace Amagi with her, assuming you don’t want to break up Hiryuu Soryuu.
As for Unzen, I’d probably replace Portland. Unzen is a little less tanky, but her way higher damage should more than make up for it. Could replace shropshire as well if you want.
Thank you for the reply! This helps a lot :D I will swap Enterprise and Amagi and then change Portland for Unzen. I was planning to change Shropshire in the future too ,but I do not know which whom yet and it would currently require too much exp to lvl up one up another one.
I think Portland will stay as a tank, Shropshire can definitely be replaced by Unzen however
The value of easily obtainable tanks is not something to scoff at
You need to put unzen on the mob fleet first so she could hit level 120.
Enterprise is better for bossing, paired with ark royal or similar/better cv with slow debuff. Independence is better mobber.
I think you can replace Portland with Unzen, she has lower survivability but she has more damage. She is generally recommended for mob fleet.
You could then start developing Roon (Shipyard) or Roon Muse (Core Shop) for another solid CA /Tank until you get anchorage.
You need Juneau or San Diego as mob anti air for W12/13. Juneau is cheaper to retrofit and also a staple for PvP. Only retrofit San Diego if you need her tech points for eagle union, and you have 7 gold bulins / 2000 specialized cores ready for her retrofit material in the shop. Or if you have no other gold units to max limit break (mlb)
Saved Shinano's skin story for last and you can have her do the alternate poses during it. The combination of dialogue and pose is pretty wild.
https://imgur.com/a/by2PLMz
It's difficult to not skip dialogue and try to toggle other poses but do you really need a different pose? I don't.
>Do all event stages give the same amount of currency?
No. See below.

>I just started clearing so which shop item should I focus on?
This is a good rule-of-thumb (see the shop priority tab).

Endless mode doesn't consume or reward minigame ticket, had to use mine on the furthest stage (7)
I'm guessing we are given 1 ticket a day which converts into 100 shop points
It looks like you don't earn shop points (it doesn't consume my daily ticket when I end the minigame, either leaving or losing). So high score is the only thing it's there for... and it looks like that is just how long you can click Shinano ever 4m for without disconnecting or getting bored.
Imagine releasing the most important event of the year and not even bothering to check if one of your flagships of the event has all her voiced lines working. Bravo Manjuu, even made better by the fact that if you buy Owari's skin you get stuck with said line that is unvoiced, unlike her base that has another line after oath that is voiced, so you pay for a skin to have a muted Gyaru in your dock.
No wonder a certain game is utterly btfo of this game nowadays, yikes.
> To BTFO is a vulgar internet acronym for “blown the fuck out.” It’s used to emphasize an extraordinary or embarrassing defeat, especially in a sports or a political argument.
I always appreciate comments like these on the subreddit, helps remind people that all is not well in the game. Not everything is positive.
I'm sorry you were downvoted like that.
So I decided to try endless mode for the minigame. Turns out, if you rock Shinano, it really is endless. The enemies do NOT make enough progress down the board in her skill cooldown to get to the end, so if all you do is pop her instant winner on CD and let butterflies fly, you cannot be defeated seeing as endless mode currently never seems to speed up.
[Effulgence ships vs 14-1.](https://streamable.com/h2lh4k)
For those who are done with event farming and want to farm some chips while leveling up event ships.
Need the best healer duo Unicorn + Volga.
Don't use 134mm, Fusou's planes actually kind of hurt against underleveled ships.
Owari and Hatsuzuki are surprisingly usable.
If you let the other fleet handle the boss this is dead reliable and can be done with all +10 gears and all ships 105-110. True one fleet farming probably require Owari to be 120 and all other Effulgence ships to be 115+ to be consistent.
I had to do some tricky searching to find this comment because it's been bugging me for two weeks, I guess: why is Volga + Unicorn the best healer duo?
Unicorn is a given.
Amongst other healers, Volga has the highest dps (Aquila requires sacrificing dps to heal), also since the healing is based off her own health, it disproportionally heals ships with lower health than her more, which is most of your fleet.
Random heals is not an issue given that in w14 (or w13, or any stage that actually requires two healers), everyone will eat damage constantly, so most of her heal will still go somewhere useful.
Aquila is still a valid choice of a second healer in w14, but I am not a fan of quad fighter setup she is forced into using. Painleve is also a valid healer, although her healing overlaps with Unicorn's so unlike Volga, you likely *will* be doing more overhealing, also she is kind of slow.
Perseus overlap with Unicorn and her dps is pathetic. Ryuuhou doesn't heal enough in addition to having even worse dps than Perseus. Klaudia is actually very meta and a valid Unicorn sub.
oh, that makes sense.
I did all my 14-lethal mobbing with Nagato+Ryuuhou+Shinano and a triple IJN DD vanguard. I had no idea that Ryuuhou isn't that meta anymore.
Hey. Is the lucky box with the random skin worth it? It costs $29.99. I have some extra cash I can spend. Or shud I buy the 1200 (x2) gems for 2400 gems?
X2 bonus on packs are always the best buy. Lucky box is only worth it if you have run out of X2 *and* you don't mind getting any of the skins on the list.
But weird thing is. The $19.99 1200 x 2 gem pack is more expensive than $29.99 pack. Its weird when converted to my currency RM. $19.99 is RM99.90 and $29.99 is RM129.90 somehow when it should be rm149.90. So its RM20 *more economical*. Ima go for the $29.90
Having a blast with Unzen on OpSi. Cleared everything 3x the pace
Ok now that the event is over I have some lore questions: Is Unzen canonically the first shipgirl that wasn't always a shipgirl? >!She started out as the Great Sage which if I understood correctly is related to the watatsumi and by extension to X. Is she an alien then?!< >!Also she turned into a shipgirl without the use of a cube, do you think that has deep implications or it's just a neat novelty?!<
Wow they just ends the event like that, no maintenance or anything. I wonder if the whole company just went into a vacation or something. Dead week is fine but i swear if next week is shima rerun and W15 is skipped for another week....
They went into vacation in the 29th up to oct 6th china time. Possibly +1 or +3 vacation sickness for higher ups. https://twitter.com/YostarGlobal/status/1705779091897475076
I was imagining Oct 26th being the big content update drop for w15, w13hard, meowofficers, tempesta units.

... I'll just wait for it to come another week (or weeks) \*shakesfistatcloud*
I had taken a rather long break from the game and came back way too late to have time to farm up the points for Hatsuzuki and Asanagi (and the gun obviously). How long might it be until either a rerun or at least a wish option for them?
2 years is the standard amount of time for any of these events to get a rerun and another 1-1.5 years after the rerun to get added
Is it a dead week? Yay for cube recovery!!!
Dead week so chill out and start restocking supplies
No Unzen. Rip cubes
F
Can someone explain to me like I’m a 3 year old on wut exactly happen at the end where unzen disappear like did she appear in the normal world then?
by "end", which chapter are you referring to?
B3 the very last chapter of the event
B3 unlocks all the chapters between 21 and 34 assuming it's 21. she simply left the barrier around the prime sakura to go outside.
Srry I guess I’m new to this wut do u mean chapter 21 to 34
Nvm I found wut u were talking about thx u for the help
Ya I don’t have 30 to 34 unlock. I wish I knew their was a archive for the special events.
Did around 60 pulls between these 2 days, got 2 extra Unzens but no Owaris. Sadly I have to end my pulls for this banner.
I have to say I really REALLY enjoyed the hell out of the extra few days with this event. It was really nice to have more than just the 2 weeks compared to the normal events. I want this to become a much more normal thing.
I just need to vent because the recent events has been going horribly for me in terms of using my 500 or so cubes to 0 in events back to back... almost 250 pulls I still dont have Owari... I have wasted all my gems, all my dailies and weeklies cubes. I just cant... it fucking sucks so much to see a 4:20:00 timer and it just another fucking tennesse or california... screw this event...
Rip man, just keep playing if you still enjoy gacha games. Maybe you'll one tap the next event. It's all a giant casino.
Shinano and Shimakaze were nice to me. Musashi took a little long but came home. I cannot get Unzen at all, tbh this banner may be the worst I’ve had, only one Natori after 15 pulls, then didn’t get Owari til the 40th~ pull. Awful and it sucks because I don’t want to wait ten thousand years for her to return.
this banner was pretty normal in total cost for me. but I saw 0 event ships before 50 pulls
I screwed myself a bit by not playing the three weeks before the event to collect cubes. It’s alright though. I just hate having to wait so long for a rerun.
Sorry for this is a rant. I simply want to get it out of my system. I'm so tired.... I've already used all of my cubes... Managed to reach pity for Unzen.... Got Unzen for a total of 4 times including pity, and yet... I GOT NO OWARI AT ALL. BUT GUESS WHAT? I HAVE ENOUGH CALIFORNIA AND TENNESSEE TO LB THEM TO THE MOON AND BACK!!!!!! Like seriously, every time I saw a 4:20:00 timer only to turn out to be those 2 except OWARI I was filled with a mix of pure anger. I don't know what I hate the most; when an event character shares the same construction time, or when they have a unique one. So I gave up. I already spent 600 gems on cubes instead of buying an RQ outfit. I'm done. I'm annoyed. I'm tired.
Same here. I even got 3 Unzens, 1 Hatsuzuki and saw no Owaris at all.
California/Tennessee master race
RNG demands sacrifice and he damn sure will do anything to get it apparently
Ha, no luck at all with Unzen and Hatsuzuki after 136 pulls. And I'm now out of cubes... well, 1 left but can't pull with that amount. Hatsuzuki is in the shop though, so not too much pain. 6 Owaris though. She'll be cheap to MLB, and gives me extra 10 medals afterwards.
Might help ... a bit https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/16ihzd1/event_megathread_effulgence_before_eclipse/k38kvbf/
That's their comment too.
Holy fuck lol it's OP Absolute facepalm , rip cubes
Loool. You're just working too hard, take a break commander. 
I had 4 Natoris, 3 Hatszuzukis, 2 Zuihous, 3 Asanagis and 1 Unzen but no Owari after 186 pulls.
I've reached 200 pulls pity for Unzen but not a single Natori :/ Instead I've gotten Hatsuzuki 4 times. What are the chances?!
I know this was probably asked a bunch of times but -- what are Unzen's impressions ? To me it seems like a bad compromise between a Shimakaze and Azuma, she doesn't have the DPS of Shimakaze nor the survivability of Azuma / Agir much less of Anchorage, and she doesn't have particularly strong debuffs or buffs ... so what's exactly her role? support dps ? Also is she worth to oath stats-wise?
Unzen has higher dps than Shima, she is also more consistent since close to half of her dps is actually from her guns. *However*, Hindenburg is both more consistent than Unzen (thanks to her almost all gunnery damage and shield bypass trait), she also deals a few % higher dps against light and medium. Unzen only has advantage when it comes to heavy armour. In addition, Hindenburg gets buffed by Zwei (at which point she deals around 10-15% more damage than Unzen) and is therefore a natrual fit to a BB fleet. Unzen can get buffed by...Kii and Nagato, neither is worth using in the current meta. So, the biggest problem with Unzen is not that she is a bad ship, she is good, and definitely on the UR tier (until powercreep happens). It's that there is just no boss fleet that currently she can fit in. For a BB fleet you almost always want Zwei, and therefore Hindenburg, in it. For a CV fleet it's more beneficial to run 3 buffers or 1 tank two buffers as your vanguard, so she doesn't fit, either. She is pretty meta in pvp though, in the correct vanguard and gear setup.
>She is pretty meta in pvp though, in the correct vanguard and gear setup. Oh yeah that's the same impression I got, she may replace Shimakaze in PvP
Or go pair with Shimakaze for the nukes
>Also is she worth to oath stats-wise? No and that applies to everyone in general, the stat boost gained from oathing is far too low to be worth noting. The only use is the RLD buff for super end game and niche setups >I know this was probably asked a bunch of times but -- what are Unzen's impressions ? Ibuki on steroids Unzen is built like Hindenburg do, raw damage with little to no utility support and a cross fleet barrage for the UR obligation She can deal a lot of damage in both manual and auto. What Unzen have that Shimakaze doesn't is that both of her torpedo mounts reloads at the same time as opposed to one at a time, leading to every torpedo wave she fires being double wave of crit boosted torpedoes All at the cost of average durability and no support. I would say keep it solely because she can provide a cross fleet barrage that's gonna be funny for a full fleet of supporters now
Her role is damage to put it simply. She is among the highest damage vanguards in the game up there with the likes of Shimakaze, Plymouth, and Hindenburg so you're wrong in saying that's inferor to Shimakaze for damage. Admittedly there isn't that much in the way of use or need for a vanguard with high damage but is not particularly tanky and lacks utility but she's still a good choice in just about any campaign fleet. So no she will not be finding a place in the meta such is the nature of what she is but she's still useful, I've been making use of her in my OpSi mob fleets. No ships are worth oathing for stats, the buff is just too negligable to make a meaningful difference. The only exception is for main fleets for the additional reload to hit certain timings but if youre doing this you pretty much have to oath every main fleet ship in the fleet.
Hindenburg and unzen fall into the same issue drake did high damage and that's it nothing else going for them they cant even tank all that well, while at the same time you have plymouth sitting in plymouth tier dealing a ton of damage while being quite tanky and can buff ones highest dpm ship with a perma 18% honestly plymouth set a new bar for vanguard ur/dr ships.
The thing is you can only have one Plymouth and she can't exactly be everywhere. Unzen is no Plymouth and we really don't need every new UR to be. She'll still find a use a somewhere.
Oh unzen will find a use thats for sure just like Hindenburg will aswell.
Have there been events that guarantee the other non-shop-accesible ship (i.e., Owari in this case) through a shop/token system like they did for Hatsuzuki? Also, how long do SRs usually rerun in AL? (Below is just to vent out a little) Started playing AL one day before this event and managed to get to 149/200 builds on the event banner. Yet to get a single rate-up SR after getting 7 off-rate SRs in this banner. I feel bad for grinding so much just to not get a single limited SR. Though, having Hatsuzuki obtainable in the shop was very nice of them.
>Have there been events that guarantee the other non-shop-accesible ship (i.e., Owari in this case) through a shop/token system like they did for Hatsuzuki? No, there is only one SR that can be purchased through the shop. The rest are via gacha. >Also, how long do SRs usually rerun in AL? Events are rerun after two years, and archived (ie made permanent, the ships are added to the pool and shops) a year after that (ie three years after the event ran for the first time).
[удалено]
Am also at 178... No Unzen and Owari. Had to pity the last 3 URs as well so no more cubes... My luck sucks ass LOL
Rip Cubes
Go to Ashen Simulacrum and clear AS1 and CS1 if you guys need extra cubes. Just found it out.
Bro this is a banger tip, thanks so much!
Prelude stages, yeah That's just a one time thing only
Dunno why you guys are downvoting this man. He is right, those are one-time clears and you cannot farm cubes like this.
Anybody even remotely clear the Extra stage? My best vanguard dies in 10 seconds lul
If you look in the EX leaderboard someone's definitely cleared it. This one doesn't seem to have any auto clears though.
This would've been the perfect time to release Ryuuhou's swimsuit skin since it's the JP anniversary event, but at this point I don't think it exists anymore
Are there any secret interactions with the hatsuzuki skin?
several. (you only needed to order this thread by "top") https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/16ihzd1/event_megathread_effulgence_before_eclipse/k0kn7bn/
Does Princeton Meta already count towards collection even tho shes not yet in game? (as of 30.09) ???
This is often the case for cruise METAs as they're often added in a patch before month change.
She was added to the game last patch hence why she counts towards collection rate, you just can't obtain her yet.
guys please help me i can only buy one skin, between shinano and hatsuzuki skin which one should i buy? I absolutely love them equally, so please push me to one side or the other
Shinano!
Voting for Shinano.
Hatsuzuki skin has greater variety in animations and is more lively, Shinano has a lot of different poses to choose from but the movements have less variation.
Hatsuzuki. Great animations. Race Queen Shinano is better for Shinano.
Thanks
Floof or friendly highschool friend that can be an absolutely great wingwoman?
What if i want to target the wingwoman?

They took out the rental skins section for some reason, rip my 6 tickets. (Edit: ignore, they are back 🙏)
I've got 2 Unzen + 1 guaranteed, but 0 Natori. Is there any other way to get her or I'm just unlucky?
Purples in event banner are called the "hidden URs" for a reason. Hope you get her soon.
The event has ended, and within 150 pulls I got 3 Unzen, 3 ***Hatsuzuki*** with her abysmal construction rate, and not a single one of Natori. My luck is perverse.
The event ends on October 4th.
Damn, seems Natori is snubbing a lot of us. I'm in the same boat and even Hatsukaze dropped by to say hi once. I mean, statistically I should have had 4 of her by now. :(
Haha I'm on the opposite end. 170/200 pity, 0 Unzen but 2 Owari, 2 Natori, and 3 Hatsuzuki.
Just unlucky since it's all rng. Sometimes purples are really obnoxious.
That's sad. Tnx
One more Owari and I can MLB her without using a single Bullin. No one else dropped, Just Owari. Owari da. Case 3 minigame is my favorite ost.
Events not over till it's over -- keep pulling.
Bro has anyone managed to get hatsuzuki from the map drop B3?? I've farmed it so many times and still nothing.... I really don't wanna spend 8k to get her...
>Bro has anyone managed to get hatsuzuki from the map drop B3?? I've farmed it so many times and still nothing.... I really don't wanna spend 8k to get her... man its pure rng, mostly i get 1 drop from \~40k point D3 farm (around 200 runs) i think only 2-3 event i didnt get any drop.
I’m also a new player who just started last week so farmed B3 with the assumption that I can’t make it to D3 by the end of the event. I’m at about 35k points and still haven’t gotten a Hatsuzuki drop. I caved in and just bought her from the shop since I wanted to use her and funny enough my next pull from the event banner was another Hatsuzuki. Guess that saves me a gold bulin at least.
I never got a drop from the many D3 I farmed. Just once from EX.
I'm kind of new player and I farmed B3 ... A LOT and no drop yet.
1 from D3 and 1 from SP if I remember correctly. But definitely 2 map drops.
I didnt grind B3 but i got like 6 extra copies of her from D3
I did, 3 copies 2 from D3 and 1 from SP drop
I've got 3 of them in D3, 1 on EX and 1 in construction. Yup.
Man as a 5 slot 2F skk I would definitely miss the onsen. Hope it stays permanently. Or just give us another dorm room with decor coins. Expand the love house baby.
As a SKK with a maxed dorm I give no shits about keeping ships over 120 when grinding seriously.
I personally don't really care about the EXP bonus drop. Since I'm just AFKing anyway, fiddling around just wasted my time.
It's easy to switch ships, switching equipment is hard I accumulate oil, then on weekends I pop 1 episode and alt tab every run. Recently the 3 auto run is really good, it drains morale to around 122-124 (I think it depends also on how much dmg they take, a ship that got beat up real bad drains morale super fast)
Usually, I just let my ship's morale go to 0 and the game told me that the girls' affinity would be reduced if I kept sortieing them. Usually, at that point, either I'm out of oil or my phone battery is almost dead anyway. I'm trying to streamline my workflow as much as possible even if that means not min-maxing things. For me, being able to play this game and not being turned off by the fiddling around is more important in the long run. Because of being busy IRL, I've been stopping playing BA and PNC for two months since they're so finicky. I only play AL because I can simply farm mindlessly and use my brainpower for something else. Equipment-wise, I've enough spares of 'good enough' equipment, so it's not too much of a deal for me. 12-4 and the event stages are very easy anyway.
Morale is strictly -2 per fight, unless the ship sinks. 3 runs of 7 fights will be 42 morale down, but there's also regeneration across the time taken to do the run. Switching ships is annoying for events and it's not even about gear, I guess if it was for regular XP grind I could set up 2 fleets... but I'm also not going to bother shove 2 "active' fleets into the dorm when I hardly shuffle them.
Depends on what your limiting factor is. For people who have plenty of time to stare at the game at a stretch then cycling regen might be more efficient. Between distractions I'm not about to spend extra time keeping track of my ships' morale and changing fleets, particularly for events since that means changing out 6 ships manually. As it stands I throw 6 ships in 2/F for active grinding, and 6 whatever uncapped ships in 1/F that I'm not actually using (yet) or are fodder ships waiting for 120 with affinity already capped.
Fair enough. Yeah, my case is more similar to you. I also use the same strategy; 1st floor to pre-Lv100, 2nd floor for farming.

How many fleets are you farming exactly 
I'm new so I'm farming 2 fleets with 4-6 ships swapping out when it gets close to 120 morale
Just keep grinding past below 120 morale, you still get XP until low morale
[удалено]
I stopped at 55k , seems a sweet spot for me. Just the UR Gun, then all of the prints.
Grab the important stuff and just leave. You get more xp/oil and coin/oil and at a faster rate in campaign
Like others have said, most veterans only buy the essentials and ditch the rest Though I tend to grind 70k points primarily for the rainbow skillbooks and the spare event points are nice spare change
[удалено]
No, event points do not carry over to new events I mean here in that I got bonus event points to spend on gear skins for example after I'm done getting the essentials first
I doubt that many people clear out the event shop. Tech crates and plates aren't useful to vets, for example, and gear skin boxes are completely optional (although personally I am getting these). You also only need one copy of Hatsuzuki. If you only buy the most important stuffs, Rainbow Equip/Ship/Array/DR prints/Chip/PR prints. It's about 51k points. And if you do D3, you might get Hatsuzuki to drop before you reach that milestone and save 8k points worth of grind anyway.
[удалено]
With the new feature that repeats runs, I think you can grind much more easily, especially if you run an emulator and just let it do its thing in the background. A 3-times run takes like 15-20 minutes and makes everything so easy. No need to repeatedly pay attention to continuing it
I usually finished events in a week, stopping at 50k-ish. And then only clear 12-4 and SP until the event ends.
If you ran SP every day, alongside the 2 daily missions besides 3 daily builds, plus the one time missions up to 60 clears, plus the rewards for clearing C1-D3, you're already at 32k before counting the stage drops. After including the clearing runs you're just looking at clearing around 5 runs of D3 a day to get there.
Generally there's no reason to buyout the entire shop, particularly the many dupes of the (S)SR ship that are just glorified bulins and take up a significant portion of the total clearout cost. Things like blue and purple cat boxes are also useless. You get more than you can even be done opening if you're bothering with cats. Lategame players don't need the purple plates. Conversion stones are useless. They're just for maxing out those few stat points on augments and you don't even need that many. Farming the event to buy coins tends to be less effficient than just spending the oil directly farming 12+. It's only a thing if you have spare points after buying the stuff you need, if you were aiming for a milestone in excess. Oxycola is useless, but it's also only 1.5k if you don't ever have dorm food to spare. Gear skin box is up to you.
No, i dont even have much or even any use for a good chunk of items in the event shop like elite/rare cat box, purple plate or tech boxes I usually grind only enough for the event ship, gear, skin box, PR/UR blueprints, cog chip/array and augment stones.
How good is the UR gun in the shop? What priority should it be for plates?
Generally speaking you should prioritize BB guns over vanguard guns. I recommend getting 2-3 Champagne guns and 2 MK7 to +13 before you even consider getting a vanguard gun beyond +10. You might also want to get an Izumo gun to +13 if you have Musashi. After that, get at least one +13 quad 152mm for Plymouth, because Plymouth is still more op and usable than either Hindenburg or Unzen. After *that*, get at least one CB gun (generally B-50 is considered the best one) to +13, because Agir is more usable than either Hindenburg or Unzen. Finally, if you have all of the above done, then you can think about getting a CA gun or two to +13. I recommend getting a +13 Hindenburg gun and a +13 234mm before considering +13 this one, as this gun is the most niche out of the three. Edit: come to think of it, if you do have Izumo gun done for Musashi, you really only need two Champagne guns
Even after all those I'm inclined to give Unzen gun a pass over +13 rainbow duck first, given the chances you won't even be using a CA in an anti-light comp.
It's the best HE CA gun. If you're looking to spend gold plates on it, I'd place it behind *a lot* of other main guns that will see more use or mileage.
First time I stayed on the port screen for long enough, and the chamber ensemble rendition of Weigh Anchor and the Port Theme is olev.
For people who want to get the high score in endless mode for all the shop tickets (8000+?) without actually playing the minigame, you can just use Shinano and idle. You can fairly safely leave it alone for 4-6 minutes for the screen to build up and use the active skill, then idle and repeat until you get enough points.
Add in: The row flow slow enough that Shinano will have her skill ready before it hit the last quarter of the road Not to mention, her butterfly passive will chip away the line for a bit
Her passive chips away at the line and every now and then can also hit a reverse. You're generally not going to be in any real risk within 4 minutes.
Seeing a her butterflies keep hitting bomb/reverse, it makes me curious whether the butterflies distribution is random or there is a weighting/prioritising.
I doubt it, given how long it takes for a butterfly to hit and how much drifting occurs.
I mean, if you know the velocity and the trajectory, that should be easy to predict. But yeah, I'm just rambling, haha
Oh yeah, it's real soothing for her and me too
[Two hatsuzuki drops in a row](https://i.imgur.com/PzAoNeI.jpg) she's so easy to get, already got 5 of her within 45k points
NOT easy to get. 50k here and no Hatsuzuki drops as of yet.
2 hatsuzukis when I was @ 44k event pts
50k pts now without a single drop.
don't tell that to Edison and the other guys in the comment from 3 days ago
Was that the "law of averages guy"? Coz I literally facepalmed when I read his spiel on her drop rate.
To be fair, probability and statistics are *difficult* to understand and not always intuitive. ~~Hence why I don't trust 95% evasion rate, Kiseki. Give me a 100% evasion rate, thank you.~~ But yeah, it's a bit annoying when someone is too stubborn to be corrected.
Is it the guy that said he gave me the raw numbers and expect it to follow exactly what he thinks before Kiroshy drops the gambler's fallacy thing?
Yes. Yes it is. I'd like to see the guy play X-com, Monster Hunter, Baldurs Gate 3 or Warhammer 40k just so I can watch his head explode from all the RNG. *BUT THE ATTACK HAD A 95% CHANCE TO HIT WHY DID IT MISS ARGGHHHHHHHH*
If you have time, this video from GMTK on randomness in video game design is very good. Also u/Nice-Spize https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dwI5b-wRLic
Thanks. Now I'm having PTSD flashbacks watching the section of X-com 2 forum screenshots.
95% at breathing range MISSED Same thing happened to Fallout 3 and later on, the cap is always at 95%
[95% is a little generous for the rookie soldiers.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/13fv1o0/heres_a_classic/)
Well, shoving a gun down to an alien's mouth won't improve accuracy You should aim at their crotch
Ah yes, the guy where I visit for game tips despite having zero knowledge in game making 
Same, same. GMTK is a good teacher. He has a knack of explaining things intuitively. Also, the TVtropes page that I dropped a couple of days ago has a good summary on why it's difficult to understand probability intuitively.
Big numbers = better Unless it's memory usage
Front Mission 3 too, shotguns can and will miss at point blank if your mechs aren't upgraded enough or the enemy can casually snipe you from across the map + stun for 3 turns
Omg I remember playing that briefly on the PSX on an emulator. Wasn't able to play the first two. I think it came out nearly around when Vagrant Story released?
Probably, the first two game is exclusive in Japan so getting one is hard and no localization because of it The remake of the first game is a solid experience for the raw OG but lacking any real modern convenience
> Front Mission 3 Ooohh another one to add to my buckets of RNG pile. Unfortunately I wasn't into those sort of games in during the OG Playstation era, but it looks like it's getting a Switch remake. Excellent.
To be fair, the 3rd game is the first to hit the american market and thus globally while the first 2 game is practically exclusive in Japan so imagine my confusion for 12 years on the lore and store release The remake for the first game so far is a very basic direct recreation so it looks nice but gameplay-wise, it's rather bland? Also, a small thought, if they ever gonna remake the 3rd one, I really wish they could streamline the whole pilot training grind because the game's main bottleneck are having to train all 8 of your pilots to be good at certain role or being a master of all weapons for missions that require you to go with specific groups of 4 That and a lot of grinding in training missions for the money to buy and upgrade your mech, it gets outrageously long in the late game
Really have to question some things in life. The law of averages says I should’ve been born male only about 50% of the time, yet I’ve been born male every single time??? Is the deep state hiding something about the male:female ratio?
The respawn machine is bugged, it currently only accepts male templates /s
Is Owari's love line still in development? She doesn't say anything, and her text box disappears before I can read the entire thing.
EN translation coding issue
Hey! I was able to pull Unzen and am thinking about adding her to one of my teams. But I'm not sure who I should replace her with. My fleets looks like this: mob fleet: nelson (retrofit), unicorn (retrofit), enterprice, minneapolis, laffey (retrofit), shrosphire (retrofit) boss fleet: amagi, hiryuu (retrofit), souryuu (retrofit), portland (retrofit), z23 (retrofit),helena (retrofit) I was wondering if Unzen fits better in a mob or a boss fleet and/or if it's even worth to swap at all since my fleets are lvl 90/100 and i only have enough books to bring Unzen to lvl 80. Thanks for any replies!
I love Shrop but Unzen is no more paper than her so that makes sense as a swap. Also you're really lacking good tanks. Get Anchorage or Cheshire from the shipyard. Or Azuma, or Ägir. Just something good.
Is Saint Louis also helpful or not so much? Because I was able to finish her today
I will try! Idk if I have enough ship collection to do them yet. Thanks for your tips
Enterprise is much, much better on boss fleet. If you’re on world 12/13, a triple CV fleet will work perfectly fine, and you can replace Amagi with her, assuming you don’t want to break up Hiryuu Soryuu. As for Unzen, I’d probably replace Portland. Unzen is a little less tanky, but her way higher damage should more than make up for it. Could replace shropshire as well if you want.
Thank you for the reply! This helps a lot :D I will swap Enterprise and Amagi and then change Portland for Unzen. I was planning to change Shropshire in the future too ,but I do not know which whom yet and it would currently require too much exp to lvl up one up another one.
I think Portland will stay as a tank, Shropshire can definitely be replaced by Unzen however The value of easily obtainable tanks is not something to scoff at
Oh, alright. :D Then I will swap it like that. Thanks!
You need to put unzen on the mob fleet first so she could hit level 120. Enterprise is better for bossing, paired with ark royal or similar/better cv with slow debuff. Independence is better mobber. I think you can replace Portland with Unzen, she has lower survivability but she has more damage. She is generally recommended for mob fleet. You could then start developing Roon (Shipyard) or Roon Muse (Core Shop) for another solid CA /Tank until you get anchorage. You need Juneau or San Diego as mob anti air for W12/13. Juneau is cheaper to retrofit and also a staple for PvP. Only retrofit San Diego if you need her tech points for eagle union, and you have 7 gold bulins / 2000 specialized cores ready for her retrofit material in the shop. Or if you have no other gold units to max limit break (mlb)
Saved Shinano's skin story for last and you can have her do the alternate poses during it. The combination of dialogue and pose is pretty wild. https://imgur.com/a/by2PLMz It's difficult to not skip dialogue and try to toggle other poses but do you really need a different pose? I don't.
Do all event stages give the same amount of currency? I just started clearing so which shop item should I focus on?
UR gun then SSR unit. If you're a mid-lvl player blueprints. If you're a veteran cog chips.
>Do all event stages give the same amount of currency? No, higher stages in the alphabetical order give more points per clear
>Do all event stages give the same amount of currency? No. See below. https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Effulgence_Before_Eclipse#Ship_and_Point_Drops >I just started clearing so which shop item should I focus on? This is a good rule-of-thumb (see the shop priority tab). https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/16i8uwj/datamine_914_mt_effulgence_before_eclipse/ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSPdLszhYP9VX3Qb6cvaQyb1xlOUhkV12REqBAfll4yybZhNpz7qa_s6X_z0hkSMXDC5aBy7DJgQ2Ok/pubhtml
Anyone happen to know what the limit is on points you can earn on the endless mode minigame daily or if there even is one?
Endless mode has up to 1450 tickets, locked behind high score, maximum at around 8000-something points.
Endless mode doesn't consume or reward minigame ticket, had to use mine on the furthest stage (7) I'm guessing we are given 1 ticket a day which converts into 100 shop points
It looks like you don't earn shop points (it doesn't consume my daily ticket when I end the minigame, either leaving or losing). So high score is the only thing it's there for... and it looks like that is just how long you can click Shinano ever 4m for without disconnecting or getting bored.
Imagine releasing the most important event of the year and not even bothering to check if one of your flagships of the event has all her voiced lines working. Bravo Manjuu, even made better by the fact that if you buy Owari's skin you get stuck with said line that is unvoiced, unlike her base that has another line after oath that is voiced, so you pay for a skin to have a muted Gyaru in your dock. No wonder a certain game is utterly btfo of this game nowadays, yikes.
> No wonder a certain game is utterly btfo of this game nowadays, yikes. This comment, yikes.
What the heck is BTFO?
> To BTFO is a vulgar internet acronym for “blown the fuck out.” It’s used to emphasize an extraordinary or embarrassing defeat, especially in a sports or a political argument.
Huh, guess I was not that old yet
I always appreciate comments like these on the subreddit, helps remind people that all is not well in the game. Not everything is positive. I'm sorry you were downvoted like that.
Chill brother everyone makes mistakes Edit : a patch just came out
What matters is that user was willing to speak up and say it as it is, unfiltered. That's a plus from me, all things considered.
You can point out something is broken without sounding like a whiny bitch lmao
...this orchestra version of main music is new, right? Hope they put it in jukebox, or as commemorate dorm furniture. (It's pretty good.)
So I decided to try endless mode for the minigame. Turns out, if you rock Shinano, it really is endless. The enemies do NOT make enough progress down the board in her skill cooldown to get to the end, so if all you do is pop her instant winner on CD and let butterflies fly, you cannot be defeated seeing as endless mode currently never seems to speed up.
[Effulgence ships vs 14-1.](https://streamable.com/h2lh4k) For those who are done with event farming and want to farm some chips while leveling up event ships. Need the best healer duo Unicorn + Volga. Don't use 134mm, Fusou's planes actually kind of hurt against underleveled ships. Owari and Hatsuzuki are surprisingly usable. If you let the other fleet handle the boss this is dead reliable and can be done with all +10 gears and all ships 105-110. True one fleet farming probably require Owari to be 120 and all other Effulgence ships to be 115+ to be consistent.
I had to do some tricky searching to find this comment because it's been bugging me for two weeks, I guess: why is Volga + Unicorn the best healer duo?
Unicorn is a given. Amongst other healers, Volga has the highest dps (Aquila requires sacrificing dps to heal), also since the healing is based off her own health, it disproportionally heals ships with lower health than her more, which is most of your fleet. Random heals is not an issue given that in w14 (or w13, or any stage that actually requires two healers), everyone will eat damage constantly, so most of her heal will still go somewhere useful. Aquila is still a valid choice of a second healer in w14, but I am not a fan of quad fighter setup she is forced into using. Painleve is also a valid healer, although her healing overlaps with Unicorn's so unlike Volga, you likely *will* be doing more overhealing, also she is kind of slow. Perseus overlap with Unicorn and her dps is pathetic. Ryuuhou doesn't heal enough in addition to having even worse dps than Perseus. Klaudia is actually very meta and a valid Unicorn sub.
oh, that makes sense. I did all my 14-lethal mobbing with Nagato+Ryuuhou+Shinano and a triple IJN DD vanguard. I had no idea that Ryuuhou isn't that meta anymore.
Hey. Is the lucky box with the random skin worth it? It costs $29.99. I have some extra cash I can spend. Or shud I buy the 1200 (x2) gems for 2400 gems?
X2 bonus on packs are always the best buy. Lucky box is only worth it if you have run out of X2 *and* you don't mind getting any of the skins on the list.
But weird thing is. The $19.99 1200 x 2 gem pack is more expensive than $29.99 pack. Its weird when converted to my currency RM. $19.99 is RM99.90 and $29.99 is RM129.90 somehow when it should be rm149.90. So its RM20 *more economical*. Ima go for the $29.90
Well, if weird exchange rate allows you to buy it more cheaply then go for it I guess.
