Basically you have a series of tasks that you need to complete, kind of like sectary mission except it takes more effort. Two tasks require 1 million and 2 million of a respective ship class from a country (So to get Monarch, you need to earn 3 million total XP for all Royal BB/BC) respectively which seems to be the worst for most.

There is no time limit though. Most PR ships are top tier except Izumo which sadly has a skill that take more damage.

Thanks!

PR ships are going to be a long grind. Like half a year or more to get them all maxed out. And then there will be a wave 2 behind them. I can't even say I'm really excited for them.

How is this going to work? Are they time limited? Still no Nagato and now even more new ships incoming...
Already answered, but...

This.

So don't worry, no cubes needed and you can choose who to work on.

O Nagato finally graced my dock. (I found this wording funny).

Got all ships finally and down to 650 cubes.

I'm okay with this trade. But this means a question is about to be very relevant to us: As her younger clone, is Belchan Belfast's little sister or her daughter?

Sister.

From a genetics standpoint (do ship girls have genetics? lol), her being a clone would be like a genetically identical twin that got cryo-chambered for a while or something. Daughter would imply that some other genetics are mixed in.

From a ship class standpoint, she'd be a sister ship of the Edinburgh class - just like every other ship of the same class are sisters.

Edit: Also, lol at browsing the twitter thread:

Sensitive material lol...

And while we get Bel-chan announced for EN, the other versions get Zeppelin-chan announced. Hopefully the wait won't be too long for us. Should allow a full KMS backline without invalidating Tirpitz's self boosting skill.

Do you guys think it might be worth saving an extra Nagato just so I can make another Sakura team, or should I use it as an easy LB material?

Personally I only level dupes for ships that have class change retrofits (at least ones where I actually want to preserve the initial class). I can't be bothered to level, skill, and outfit dupes for 0LB farming or any other reason. That and with all the good ships out there, I pretty much never field two teams of the same nation.

Nope. Too many good ships available. Only dupes I kept are:

- the 4 BB before BBV retrofit
- Mutsu, Erebus, Dawn and Casin for 0LB low cost substitute

You guys are probably right. My dock is already full enough as it is. >_<

Looks like the Kazuni AI cola will have at least 2-3 build only SSR ships....
What are the other ships along with the collaboration? It seems strange for there to be more than one, unless there's variants of Kizuna Ai herself.

I'm counting myself lucky in that this collab doesn't interest me. Unless there's subs in the limited build pool, I probably won't bother building from it at all. Collab ships don't count for completion, and generally aren't that useful vs normal/event ships. They're only worth expending cubes on if you really like what the collaboration is based on.

After all these sub missions, I finally was able to make my first piece of sub/asw gear!
And it's a piece of trash!

Meanwhile all the gold gear is 1/3 - 1/2 way to being able to be built. Purple gear ranges from 1/2 to nearly finished.

So in JP, The Kizuna (2% each for SR BB/CV, 0.5% for CA (also in point exchange)) is in a limited pool while the Elite loli/chans (2.5% each x 3) are in the special pool.

Guess I'll be burning cubes in the special pool then. Works out for me since I'm missing subs anyhow.

As for Bismarck, no chance it's "soon" for us if she's retaning UR status. We're still waiting on the Sandy/Warspite retros after all.

Does the CN/JP version ever get a 2x/3x speed option? I enjoy the game, but it takes WAY too long to play through things on Auto. :(

So they are running two point grinding event at the same time, I wonder if you can get both points at the same time..

Took a couple more 10-builds to finish out the event. As is typical with me I get lots of dupes of the SR ships with the more common ones being more difficult to get.

Not sure what my plan is for Kizuna event, as much a fan as I am I don't want to drop a bunch of cubes on ships I won't use with space I don't have.

From how I see the game working in other areas in/around QoL it would really surprise me if features such as this fit in their design philosophy. I'd love to be wrong though.

It'd be a nice QOL update, but one that could have knock on effects for the servers. Would effectively double to triple the updates being sent to the server in a given period of time during events when everybody hammers new content. I wouldn't count on it happening at any rate. Helps that I play with an emulator, so I just let it do its thing in the background. Not as easy to do that on a phone.

Going by the recent event experience, it could happen. You could earn the points for the Foreign Idol event and Steel Sakura simultaneously when the event periods overlapped.

I think Loli > Kizuna. Probably will do both though since I still have 700 cubes.
Unless you love Kizuna, she should be lower priority since she doesn't count for completion.

Given that the collabs don't count for completion, and they've so far all been mediocre to worthless performance wise, it's kind of pointless to care about whether they come back. They don't count for faction buffs, they'll never get retrofits down the line, and unless you absolutely love them, they'll never do more than sit in the dock unused and take up space forever. I've never fielded the Neptunia collab ships for instance, and I like Neptunia.

Well that's a shame. Thanks guys, I'll continue to hope.

You get one Kizuna for free anyways, right? Meh, i don't need 4 different versions of of her. I guess i'll spend my cubes on the smol ships.

According to CN...

Kizuna DD T3 (12% chance to BUFF enemy stat)
Kizuna CA T0.5 (in between Portland and Takao)
Kizuna BB T1 (Washington with weak AA)
Kizuna CV T2 (needs other Kizuna in fleet)

Zeppy T3 (3rd slot is flex bomber/CL gun makes her practical)
Hiel T4 (very weak)
Akagi T3

One new aux equipment will change the equipped ship faction to Kizuna.

Man... i think this might be the only gacha game that i play daily with zero care in theorycrafting and really much squad building strategy outside of trying to build squads where buffs align up.

Having good enough fun just autobattling the easy content and building waifus lol.

Dope this game just supports that. Although things are getting a bit hard at the ch9-10 Zones...

Got lucky with both BB and CV in 20 builds. Will do the chans slower for the point bonus.

50 Special builds and still missing Hiei-chan. Will drop down to 3/day for the rest of the event or until obtained.

Event wise, it doesn't appear that grinding the SP maps counts for tokens towards Bel-chan, so it's going to be somewhat annoying having to grind SP maps for the event shop and normal maps for Bel-chan.

Decided to start with the chans. Made 50 builds. Got my first submarine via builds (Dace), FOUR Zeppys, and Hiei. So I didn't yet get the chan that I actually wanted. Well, the event has just started.

Yeah, I got U-81 in my builds which marked my first (built) sub. Amusingly 4 of the 10-build batches had none of the chans, and 1 of them had one Zeppy and two Akagi-chan. RNG is a strange mistress.

Just did 3 and 3 builds, got a Hiei.

App is pretty cluttered right now with things to do. BGM is nice tho.

Looking at the Bel-chan event, I think it might be best off to just grind 4-1/2/3. Easy to 1:1 clear quickly with just about any low oil ship, and only 4 battles per stage for 80 points, and you'd still get purple plates. It will take 125 clears x 4 battles each = 500 battles total, but that'd be faster and cheaper than the higher level chapters. For instance, you'd need 72 chapter 10 clears x 7 battles each = 504 battles total, and those battles will be longer and far higher oil cost. Any way you slice it though, it's a big grind. Like 8+ hours worth of grinding.

This wouldn't be bad if it were the only event for the time period, but seeing as how it's mutually exclusive with the Kizuna event, it's rather shitty. We also have less time to do it than the other regions. We're on the rerun version where you get no points for daily tasks, but we have the time span of the original version where there *were* daily tasks that gave out large chunks of manjuu. The rerun version should run a month. I think they didn't properly plan this out properly. I expect a time extension or it altered so the SP maps count for manjuu.

Edit: Purple plates are ch 6+, so probably best to do 6-1 on repeat instead.
