I see Bremerton's getting an L2D ship. Does that mean there'll be a chance to pull for her? I'd kind of like Baltimore's sister.

I guess you refer to Biloxi's unannounced pull chance (without rate-up) during the "Inverted Orthant" event?

Unless they do something similar to that you would have to wait for the "Microlayer Meddley" rerun. Which will take a while because other events like "Ashen Simulacrum" (and Baltimore herself) would take priority by event date.

Ah, okay.

Kinda amusingly I did get Biloxi during Orthant (before pulling Weser, even) which was a surprise. I won't turn down another Cleveland.

I wonder why they call Z23 Niima in Slow Ahead. First I thought that's 23 in Japanese but nope.

Does anyone have that really good Best Gear list? I googled and there are so many that I have no idea which is the one to follow.

It's "Nimi".

Ni = 2

Mi = 3

That looks good, but I think there was one that said "Enterprise is best with the following gear" and so on.

There's also the Your Waifu Is Ship guide, which recently got rid of their tiering setup.
https://github.com/YourWaifuIsShip/Azur-Lane-Guides

quote:

USS Enterprise

Skill:
70% chance on airstrike launch, airstrike deals x2 damage and Enterprise becomes invincible for 8s.
Has a 3/3/2 loadout.

Recommended Loadouts:
[General Purpose] F6F Hellcat; SB2C Helldiver; Ryusei; Hydraulic Catapult; Hydraulic Catapult
[Poverty] F4U Corsair; SB2C Helldiver or JU87 Stuka; Tenzan; Hydraulic Catapult; Hydraulic Catapult

Desc:

One of the best solo CV currently in the game, courtesy of her solid statline and a skill that can reliably lay the smackdown on waves and airwings alike - as well as provide some emergency damage absorption against incoming aircraft or even shelling. It's not all bombs and sunshine, though - while her proc rate is high, she is nevertheless very reliant on that proc to perform and her generalist Efficiencies tend to blunt her effectiveness somewhat.

I'm getting really tired of the resource nodes in Operation Siren being warning devices which means I don't get anything. It's happening all the time and the grind for mats is already irritating enough.

Map showing the order of farming the record files in Siren Mode.



It's entirely possible to get every file in one clearance of the map, although it requires patience to farm the X-2 & X-4 records while leaving a partially cleared map. Just remember that any X-3 or X-5 map cannot be cleared until the record before (ie X-2/X-4) has been obtained, any other map can be cleared and farmed later.

Do the record files do anything or can you just let them accumulate passively as you clear the things every month?

They're always one star on exploration progress, not sure if they do anything else right now. Not sure if they ever reset, I've heard rumors that exploration progress might reset every 2 months, but I don't know if that's official

It turns out you can buy the data logger for 5k oil in the shop and still get the X-3 & X-5 records, although that may possibly make it harder to keep track of which zones you have cleared.

The whole "build your dreamfleet of 6 shipgirls with no oil-cost" has a certain charm in OpSi.

But unless you are a player hitting endgame-content in the main-campaign and have the means to build 4 well-formed fleets, you can do without. There is really no requirement for it or trying to rush the content like some poor fools.

I'm mostly going at it for Hiryuu Meta because, well, FOMO (but she is apparently quite good) although after that I'm tempted to sit the rest of it out. I really need to focus on leveling the stuff I actually have to a decent level so I can do more regular story missions.

BTW this map has 2-5 and 2-6 inverted, which I found out the hard way.

This weeks Slow Ahead summery - Boobs, boobs, boobs, Abs. Though I never realized just how deep Minneapolis was with the Native American thing. It's a little gross, but when i guess artists living in Japan and China wouldn't be as aware of the plight of First Nations people and the tradition of turning them into a costume. Heavy thoughts for a anime trying to sell you a shipgirls game on phone.

She's fantastic in mobbing fleets, with solid regeneration and a no-cooldown DPS buff everytime she gets the kill shot which is always resetting because it helps her fish for more kills.

I've got her at level 100 now with Thrill of the Hunt almost at 10 and it's basically proccing all the time and I'm sure that'll get even better when she finally hits 120. Since I'm trying to farm points for Seattle, I don't mind her stealing MVP.

According to the AL Discord there's currently a bug that means any exp you earn is not being counted for PRY ships' combat data collection.

Which is deeply unfortunate since I had a ton of oil and spent some 2x reward things before I found out. :smith:

Well, if that was going to happen, it was at a good time for me. I just finished building my last PR1 ship a couple days ago, and was just planning on passively collecting whatever I could from whichever other grind I'm doing next.

Speaking of grinds, how's everyone's Hiryuu META chase going? I just hit 20K whatsits yesterday, so I'm well ahead of schedule to get the 25K we need for max LB before she rotates out. It looks like the real pain will be getting her skills up. The point accumulation there is so slow.
