Still have to use my invitation, its down to the Washington or NC ...

I would go with North Carolina as her skill set is superior compared to Washington. All it needs is a pure AA build; quadruple bofors, US DD gun and double radar ought to do the trick. It will make for a decent main line ship until late game.

NC is really good at AA, which if you're lacking AA ships will come in handy for W12/13

Using NC in W13 is practically wasting a main ship slot. Would have seriously considered using it if its AA damage reduction was a bit higher and also applied to vanguard. 

 

Watched just3cs video. He has a fair point about Ingraham but meh.. her skills and AA arent enough as the ship is way too fragile and have non-existant firepower. Just use an American AA cruiser and a heal carrier for what Ingraham does but to a much greater effect without durability issues. The way late game is built currently eliminates the ships purpose and I dont really expect that to change soon. I might experiment with it in my PVP fleet. 

 

It is high time Manjuu update the armor modifiers for DD guns.

I use Azur Lane's EN Community Tier List for that,

I just checked that out, and I have to say I'm not impressed. There's basically nothing there other than pictures and some extremely vague "mob fleet"/"boss fleet" symbols.

At least with content creators on YT, you get more detailed information on why a ship is considered good.

Also, you only listed BBs in your comment, and I'm really hoping you're considering trying to get some CVs too.

I'm basing my recommendation on if he doesn't have a large number of options like veteran players do. If he doesn't have Seattle or Sandy Retro (both are fairly difficult to acquire for a new player) or NJ (see above) then NC's AA stat should at least reduce the ACV threshold to get his aircraft up to par.

DDs main weapons are supposed to be their torpedoes, anyway. Their guns are of secondary importance outside of specific ships.

I'd probably agree with you on the IB DD guns, though, to give their AP buff a bit more of a purpose (but then IB just needs good frontline ships in general). Actually, IB needs good ships that aren't event-locked or locked behind some kind of grind.

Speaking of good IB frontline ships, I have now finished the grind for Aegir, meaning I am now done with the PR4 grind.

As it stands my PR development looks like this:

Spoiler

(100% finished ships are underlined)

PR1:

• Neptune: lvl120, max devlvl, max fate sim.
• Monarch: lvl113, max devlvl, max fate sim.
• Ibuki: lvl100, devlvl 26. (will be spending coin on her as soon as Izumo is done)
• Izumo: lvl100, max devlvl, fate sim 4/5. (just two more days and 6k coins and she'll actually be useable)
• Roon: lvl116, max devlvl, max fate sim.
• Saint Luis: lvl100, max devlvl, max fate sim. (only finished about a month ago thanks to PR4 update)

PR2:

• Seattle: lvl120, max devlvl, max fate sim.
• Georgia: lvl100, max devlvl, max fate sim. (finished thanks to recent blueprint plan focus and PR2 blueprint focus - I gots me somes spare points for shop from extras blueprints)
• Kitakaze: lvl113, max devlvl, max fate sim.
• Azuma: lvl113, max devlvl.
• Friedrich der Grosse: lvl115, devlvl 23.
• Gascogne: lvl120, max devlvl, max fate sim.

PR3:

• Cheshire: lvl107, max devlvl, fate sim 3/5.
• Drake: lvl100, devlvl 23.
• Mainz: lvl100, devlvl 24.
• Odin: lvl110, max devlvl, fate sim 3/5.
• Champagne: lvl120, max devlvl, max fate sim.

PR4:

• Anchorage: lvl100, devlvl 16.
• Hakuryuu: lvl100, devlvl 18.
• Aegir: lvl10, devlvl 9.
• August von Parseval: lvl95, devlvl 11.
• Marco Polo: lvl100, devlvl 24.

Can you tell which PR3/4 ships I've been prioritising?

Funnily enough, I also got Baal and two Saras. Was hoping another pull would give me either a new sugar molecule or another star on my chef. 

 

Over the weekend I'll have to farm that new boss.

I also didn't mention that I almost needed all my saved primos to get her, because I lost my first 50/50 to a Mona. Atleast through all the pulling I got a Sucrose vom 0 to C6

I've to say: I didn't saw that coming. I always expected them to have a split personality after the two Raiden in the trailer, but that they were actually twins. Genius I've to admit.

But somehow I've the feeling that the "timeline" is abit borked.

The Tengu General died before the cataclysm. Orobashi went nuts during the archon war and Ei killed him while her sister was doing her other work.

Chiyo went mad during the cataclysm, Makoto died during and Saiguu vanished into the abyss.

 

Or am I wrong somewhere?

"Washington is a flagship barrage battleship best used in mob fleets. Her barrage has a good pattern, decent damage, and is nicely staggered with her shelling to provide good damage uptime for mobbing. Her skill with South Dakota is too situational to be useful."

If that's all it says and that's what's pulling you towards cashing in your invite on Washy, I'd recommend spending your invite on North Carolina and instead grinding for Marco Polo after you're done with Monarch.

That description of Washy's barrage is also a pretty good description of Marco Polo's barrage and Parco Molo has an entire skillset focused around being a mob fleet BB, instead of having a mostly useless second skill.

To put it simply, Shogun, puppet, runs ETERNITY.EXE whenever Ei doesn't control it directly. And as Ei stated herself in her story quest

Spoiler

she made puppet nigh impossible to change just in case she herself would change despite her efforts to preserve herself. Though I presume she haven't expected changing for the better?

Also "when thunder strikes" line is said by Ei, not the Shogun - different voice tone. Higher pitched, more curious instead usual cold and detached.

 

About timeline, you're about right. Shogunate and Orobashi/Orobaxi lived in peace after Archon Wars, to the point when Sakura Cleansing Ritual came to be, it started with asking for "forgiveness" from both Shogun and Orobashi. But something triggered big snek to attack Yashiori island, which started the war, where both Orobashi and Sasayuri, tengu general died alongside countless mortals.

 

Chiyo, Saiguu and Makoto are casualties of the Cataclysm. And  looking at Shogun trailer, Chiyo and Saiguu probably were first, while fighting corrupted Chiyo probably was very damaging to Ei psyche and death of her sister pushed her past breaking point.

 

[LOZFFVII]

With you guys constantly talking in spoilers, I'm tempted to rush through the story just in case there turns out to be an actual plot twist that I don't see coming.

Going back to Touhou Lost Word:

I said I wouldn't whale on the game until Satori was added, and now that she has been added I don't really have anything to whale on.

Spoiler

This was my very first 10-pull from the Satori/Koishi banner:

 

Two copies of Koishi from the first 10!

Sadly, I did not get any copies of Satori while pulling all the way up to 150 pulls (the pity, where you can choose the banner character you want and you'll get a copy for free), but by the end I had all these new characters:

 

 

Ran and Marisa I could exchange for tokens, because they were already max limit break.

Mokou, Remilia and Sakuya I could use for limit breaking.

Ringo, Koishi, Satori, Reisen, Flandre and Chillno are all new, and I got so many copies of Koishi that I only need one of my saved up universal limit breaking materials to fully limit break her.

I've had enough seal cubes and coins saved up from the previous event to be able to afford 150pulls easily, so I had nothing to whale on there.

I wanted to purchase a costume for her, if there was one, but the only costume for either sister in the shop is one for Koishi.

While it is a cute costume and I have just enough saved up free God Cubes to afford it, because it's not Satori I will be saving my god cubes.

 

So here I am, still a f2p-er even after my toehoe waifu got added.

Orobashi wasn't close to the calamity, was it? Since the tengu died before the calamity, I expect Orobashi was still somehow connected to the cataclysm. Maybe we'll get more info when they drop Kokomi.

 

If you look at the trailer, you'll see the umbrella at the bottom disappear at the same time as Chiyo goes away. Maybe Makoto died during Ei's battle with Chiyo?

Atleast Saiguu was properly the last one to die, her mind being consumed by the Abyss.

You know, once you deplete story and run out of map to explore, all you're left with is grind just for sake of grind. And maybe maxing out your waifus. Still, short of "lets exterminate entire map for shits and giggles", your playtime will probably be reduced to ones of Azur Lane or Arknights - knock dailies off, dump some fuel/sanity/resin and see you tomorrow.

 

 

Speaking of Shogun, she sets dangerous precedent of locking major damage increases behind constellations for 5* characters, as her c2 translates to something like 30-35% damage increase? So far, 5star characters were "solid" at c0 and got "nice to have" boosts with constellations. But alas, her banner seem to have set new all-time high earnings for the game, so hopes of her getting buff, undoing suddenly added anti-Beidou synergy or Electro in general getting reworked are... unlikely now, after all company is drowning in money now, so whatever they do, it is working for their baseline.

 

On more positive note

and with power of nolife lazy day at work I've managed to 100% both new islands and all quests that I've stumbled upon along the way, missing only one Oculi for completion.

PRs/DRs (and UR ships for a similar reason) are not capped to lvl70 until you increase their stars. You can get them to lvl120 without putting a single blueprint into them.

Although they will be extremely weak comparitively, for obvious reasons.

Research just wants endless amounts of cubes and money for the chance of a schematic that will barely even moves the needle?

If you can't afford the research that requires cubes/coins, just don't use it. Do the free research first, and check back when it completes to see if you got something better. Don't forget that you have one refresh per day.

The gear blueprints you get from other research is still good, and will be better than a lot of stuff you can get early game.

(FYI, make sure to check gear guides, you'd be surprised how much purple gear is better than gold equivalents - purple Helldiver is a specific example)

 

On 9/3/2021 at 8:43 PM, WWDragon said:

In fact, I started on Roon but I am going to pause it, PR ships are a waste of time and a waste of port slots.

They are neither. You just need to take it slow, don't fret if they're not usable yet, as they will be usable eventually. It's taken me three years to get SanRui and Izumo to max dev lvl and max fate sim, but I'm not bathered about that.

Granted, I am a dolphin with this game, so I have more than 600 port slots so I'm not exactly worried about space.

In your case, just spend the three free blueprints you get per day on whichever PR1 you want (if you already have SanRui maxed, spend them on your recently-acquired Monarch) and eventually you'll have a top-tier RN BB.

But don't forget waifu > meta.

 

Once again, Just3c's recent guide should be of help:

 

I have linked to the part of the video where he ranks all 22 PR/DR ships, so you know which ones you should consider.

Fine by me.

I've just spent the entirety of my week off work just pissing about with GI, and not getting anything else done in my life. I'm thinking it's time I took another break, but I want to get "The Catch" and clear the story with Baal first.

If clearing the story = nothing else to do, seems like a good time to stop.

"Nothing else to do" - if you need clear pointer "go there and do stuff", then you have dailies and maybe event that unlocks another stage daily. Daily resin dump on bosses, artifacts, exp books, mora or whatnot is "something" to do as well, though usually you're done with it in 15-30min. Farming mobs in open world for materials can be something to do as well, but at some point you will arrive at high three digit-four digit numbers of materials with little to spend them on, as every new addition loves to use new stuff. Spiral Abyss, although this is pure dps check that loves to get frustrating at times. Invading randoms and doing random grade stuff with them.

 

You know, usual gacha/game as a service stuff once you clear the story, that became part of your daily routine and can't quite just toss it away

I seriously don't know how people manage to do all that in 15minutes. It takes me 10 minutes just to do all the daily commissions.

Bosses can be anywhere between 2min-15min apiece, depending on what they are and where they are located. Blossoms are either ridiculously boring or ridiculously annoying; Domains likewise. If I was to actually spend all my resin everyday I would be bored out of my mind and have no time for life outside of this game (fyi out of 7 days this last week, I've maybe spent some resin on four of them).

The Serenitea Pot (I love that pun, btw) is more interesting to me, but even then I find myself hitting a wall which is the amount of realm currency you generate per day. I just sit there either staring at the depot or the placement screen thinking "well, I want to add this thing but I need more currency, guess I'll have to hope I remember to buy it tomorrow".

I block co-op requests by default. Not interested in playing with randoms.

If I want to play with randoms, it has to be in a game designed as multiplayer first (such as a fighting game, racing game or party game). Any other type of game and it's like an invasion of personal space for me.

If I could play this game with my friends it would be a different story, but I don't feel comfortable recommending gacha games to them (especially one with such bad rates).

That's kinda it. I'm in a love-hate relationship with GI.

There are aspects of it I love and can't get enough of (open world, cute characters, fun gameplay), but I hate that I get so addicted to what it has going and I've spoken at length, many times, how much I hate the gacha system. I hate how it has the same trappings as a lot of f2p gacha games, but lacks the same creature comforts (look at Azur Lane: when was the last time you actually played one of the daily raids instead of skipping it?) so it takes you so much longer to get anything done.

I'm addicted and want to stop. So, if the end of the current archon story really does dry up the game then that's good: I will play until the end of the current story and finally be able to give it a rest for a few more months.

And I absolutely refuse to go above AR35 until I feel like it, so if the story requires me to do so I'm just not going to bother finishing it. 11k/7.5k AEXP and counting, whoo!

Well, with stacked characters domain clear at highest difficulty rarely exceeds 2 minutes for me, x4 times thanks to Condensed Resin feature for daily 160 resin dump? Bosses are usually pushover too, with major slowing point being invulnerability states or Zhongli's pet rock having almost 1mil hp and his tantrum states that are advised to not stand too close to him.

Game isn't really that suitable for coop to begin with, besides boss/domain abuse. While you can wander around in coop and explore stuff, some of the puzzles are not present in coop, so after all day potatoing with friends, you will have to do another sweep on your own, rediscovering puzzles/features not present in coop (or those that have bugged out, chests that can't be opened still happen from time to time). many quests either lock you out of coop altogether or can't be triggered in coop, so "solo sweep" will be needed anyway.

 

For recommending the game... just inform them game uses generous amounts of psychological tricks to convince players to part ways with money. Battle Pass for supplies and guaranteed GOOD 4* weapon is okay-ish enough, at least you know what you will get, but hard NO for uncertain rewards, no matter how disposable income you have. Gacha sucks and f2p income of gacha currency is even worse, so word of warning for them to not salivate towards newest character, just roll with whatever drops in. Even more so as initial batch of 4* characters is still preferable to newcomers and there are few limited 5* characters that are considered "worth pulling" on performance/value grounds, pimarily Zhongli and Ganyu for having good f2p/craftable weapon options, to the point various "meta slaves" scoff new characters that can't fully capitalize Bennett/Beidou/Xingqiu supports. Throw in weakcreep of recent characters, Yoimiya or Shogun aren't exactly powerhouses, with latter being particular offender as she hides massive power spikes behind constellations and her signature weapon to even bring her into decent state. Yoimiya is at least limited by her single target kit and not being able to fully utilize Xingqiu support. Upcoming Kokomi seems to be disaster as well.

No, end of Liyue is AR28. Serenitea Pot is AR30 and requires Liyue completion.

Inazuma starts at AR30, and according to the wiki it will not need any AR higher than that for completion, unlike Liyue that went AR23-AR25-AR28.

The new hydro hypo is also a joke? I didn't expect another cube to be easier then the electro one.

Might be because hydro's only purpose is to amplify other elements via reactions.

Vaporise = big pyro damage.

Freeze = temporary stop and big bonus to next claymore hit.

Electro shock (or whatever it's called) = passive DOT and occasional interrupt.

Swirl = does whatever it does for other elements.

Considering how much better Aegir is than Azuma, I'm not surprised.

Also, I'm now glad I was justified in devoting my PR2 DR focus drops towards my already devlvl30 Azuma over my devlvl23 FdG.

What kind of buffs do people think Azuma might get? Heavy armour by default? HE gun buff/remove the restriction to her own gun?

When was the last time we talked about KanColle?

There's apparently an event going on right now. Don't really know anything about it, but just thought I'd do a KCvsAL ship comparison.

KC Victorious. Gotta say, definitely prefer this Vicky over AL's design. But then I've never been fond of AL's design for Vicky, so it wasn't a hard contest.

KC Conte di Cavour. Not Jiji's best "adult woman" design. I can't even really see her as being "short stack", if that's what he was going for. I'm defnitely preferring AL's Conte di Cavour over KC's.

Chougei (submarine tender). She's cute. That's kinda it, I don't feel anything else particularly. Can't really compare it to AL, so I'm going to compare it to Taigei - and Chougei's design just isn't as good.

Still AL Victorious is one of my favourite characters ( I like her lines which are funny and Greeek Mythology godess design ) so I could not be most fair judge. Anyway from I-47 I can't find in KC any new character which could hit my tastes.

 

About Conte di Cavour and Chougei I fully agree. In case of Conte I was never fan of Jiji lolis and his designs beyond maybe KC Aquilla never fit to my tastes ( at least AL Littorio and Abruzzi are such charismatic leaders design and CG design which I very like ) Telling the truth beyond Aquilla I can't find any KC Italian ship design which I like.

Telling the truth, I keep forgetting KC Aquila even exists.

(Totally serious, btw, I was genuinely confused when you mentioned Aquila at first - I thought you were talking about one of the cruisers)
