[@minhquang2640]

Speaking of the type 3 gun "Confetti", there's no way for new players to get em since it's only available through research. Also, the Purple 410mm provide balance between Damage and Reload for barrage ships, the best choice BB gun would be Triple MK6 gun, since it has the highest damage, and triple gun spread is better than Twin so you can hunt down DDs. Also worth mentioning, the English triple 406 gold is also extremely bad ( Except on Massachusetts), and it can be obtained by new players throu gold box so make sure to tell them that.

[@nyenye103]

@@minhquang2640 It's the best gun choice for "Shelling" BB, because all of their damage comes from their shells. If you put Triple MK6 on Arizona/Hood, it would suffers a lot from not being able to proc their skill faster, and their low FP. Simply: 1. Shelling BB (damage comes from shells, e.g. Warspite, Rossiya on boss) Use Purple Triple MK6: azurlane.koumakan.jp/Triple_406mm_(16%22/45_Mk_6)#Type_3 2. Barrage/Skill relying BB (e.g. Hood, Arizona) Use Twin 381mm from PR1, it's the best fast reload gun: azurlane.koumakan.jp/Twin_381mm_(BL_15%22_Mk_II) 3. Mixed Shelling and Barrage (e.g. Rossiya on mob, Rodney, Nelson) Use Purple Twin 410 mm: azurlane.koumakan.jp/Twin_410mm_(3rd_Year_Type)#Type_3 and if you can, upgrade to Twin 406mm SK/C from PR2: azurlane.koumakan.jp/Twin_406mm_(SK_C/34_Prototype)

Some mistakes I learned since I played last December: 1. *Do I use super rare ships as soon as I get them?* Avoid using Gold ships very early on. They can be tempting, but limit breaking them is a pain in the ass and will hinder your progression simply because you will not have enough gold bulins in the early game anyway. 2. *What ships should I raise which can still be viable late game?* It doesn't matter. Play the ships you like. The bigger issue in late game stages are farming plates to enhance all your gears to +10 and getting the right gears. I had level 120 ships way before I could enhance their gears to +10. You get better ships in events anyway. Remember, a bad ship with good gears will ALWAYS perform better than a great ship with bad gears. Except Enterprise, she's just broken. 3. *What ship types should I raise?* It doesn't matter. Raise the the ones that you like. However, I would suggest raising ships of different types if you're into hard mode. 4. *What ships are good for chapters 12-13?* Stop. It's a long way ahead. Just enjoy the game for now. 5. *What PR ship to get first?* It doesn't matter. It'll take months for them to be battle ready anyway. The hard part about PR ships is grinding blueprints, not the EXP GRIND. 6. *What are tierlists?* These are lists of ships which perform better exclusively in chapter 13. Don't worry about these lists too much since your ship waifus, however weak, will still be able to clear 95% of the game as long as you level them up and gear them up adequately. For me, tierlists are there as a guide, not a rulebook despite what others tell you. P. S. Ander, is the mic new? 😁

[@hassathunter2464]

I would still use SR early on. Getting them to 70 takes quite some time for newbies, enough to get a second copy, the many bonus bullins for new players or a couple ones from the weekly long before you reach that level.

[@justinemarkdajay7485]

@@hassathunter2464 1 or 2, sure. I had the mistake of composing an almost ALL SR fleet. Both trash and boss fleets as well. Getting my ships to level 70 as a noob took me around 3 to 4 weeks. You only get 5 to 7 gold bulins per month. Each SR takes 4 bulins to max LB. Long story short, I had to level up lower rarity ships just so I could advance since I couldn't LB my SR ships asap. Iirc, I LB'd Enterprise and Hood first.

One issue with the confetti gun is that the AI doesn't aim it properly. Most of the shots land short of the bullseye and just splash. If you manual aim, aim a little far and high, and you'll find more shots landing on target. Doesn't mean you should be using it most of the time, but if you're bringing it out, as suggested, to prevent your BBs from stealing MVP, you can still ensure they do SOME damage instead of just splashing some water around. I suppose if you're ever dealing with some stage with lots of small, tightly packed enemies, the confetti gun might come in handy. There's not really any fights like that right now, but at the very least I'd keep one around just for the future.

[@vtr0104]

2 tips I can think of are, for any player, is to not forget about the Commissions each day. And I don't mean just the urgent ones. By Lvl. 70, Oil management becomes an actual issue, since the daily Production can't cover the amount spent (especially as there's always some kind of event going on where Stages need to be cleared). Keeping up with the Commissions will give good oil Bonuses so that you can at least end a day of farming on par instead of realizing you have no Oil left and nowhere near enough time for it to replenish in the Canteen. EDIT: And for people trying PvP, also around Lvl. 70-80, pay attention to traps left by others. If an Account is high level and you somehow run across them due to their Fleet Points being lower than your own, it's because they have set their Defence Fleet to be ony a couple of ships with MAX Lvl. and Gear. Even though math says you might win, the reality is you're most likely going to get rekt, so always check what the fleet is made of before engaging.

[@BizsDustbin]

Heres another mini tip Look at the box under the red “GUN” box and you can tell which to use because its “Scatter” (meant mainly for AA purposes irl) or “Volley” (Ship to ship)

[@jeffzebert4982]

On the other hand, the "Confetti Gun" CAN be useful in at least one situation: if you have a Battleship who has a proc ability. You see, the more "hits" that Battleship can score, even if they do little damage, the more likely her proc is to trigger.

[@pedroauter2759]

bullin can be used for quick affection farming :) whenever I want to marry a main fleet ship on day 1, I make a 1:1 fleet with a bullin in the vanguard and I keepp fighting the ambush zone in 1-1 until the affinity get to 100 :) its the easiest way to farm.

[@hassathunter2464]

Bullin: Avoided. Confettigun: Caught me (weeps in +8) Limit breaking: IGNORE. I break 10, 30, 70 and maybe this event I can FINALLY get my maintenance mails coins that always got hold captive by the oils I didn't have need of. Shop: Gems are love, gems are live. Also Dockspace. That skunk skin though, I miiiight need to break f2p after all. Gacha: Got Tosa, Amagi and all elite in 30 pulls... lack... one RARE. For real AL? Daily: My replacement for 7-2 since grinding is boring. Why do so many runs when you can just go for 3000 a day at ease... I do wonder why I got excess oil :p Tactical class: Just use the widget on the main menu. I find it so annoying the UI gives a ! on HQ only, rather than widget and location that commissions and research do. "150% instead of 1%" I am sure you meant 100% there ;) An useful tip I found out VERY recently (after playing since December) is you can hold the button on ship selection to get instantly to loadout. That makes gearing up ships for Hard mode so much easier than pick, go to dockyard, gear up then load the hardmap. Such a timesaver I wish I knew months ago.

[@ReonMagnum]

The Type 3 Shell (Sanshikidan) is an incendiary anti-aircraft munition, intended for Japanese battleships such as the Yamato. In real life they were not effective in their intended role which is AA, and were used for shore bombardment instead. But in the Kancolle anime, Yamato was able to destroy a squad of Abyssal aircraft with a barrage of Type 3 shells.

[@7123x]

You could add the ship position during sortie or formation setup, especially for vanguard. Ship on the leftmost position is the first ship to receive damage when you controlling it forward, vice versa to your rightmost ship when you moving the vanguards backward. Ship in the middle will be well protected by both side. Thus during sortie, if one of your vanguard is badly damage and the other two are still in have good amount of HP, just swap position with the badly injured in the middle between two other high-hp ship

I see this a lot and good amount of people still do this, spending all your 200+ cubes on your first week on an event is not a good idea. During an event a daily mission will appear where it will ask you to build 3 ships for 300 event currency, wasting all your cubes on the first day is going to make you miss out on potentially a lot of currency that can help you get more stuff from event shops. Only start building and using all your cubes on your last day if you were unfortunate to not get the event ships yet by that time.

the disappointment that happened when you keep doing daily 3, and by the last day spend all of your cube, and STILL don't get event ship you want is painful enough to make somebody quit this game entirely.

[@RgRyder]

If you start in an event and really want ship X go for 3-4 pulls daily until the last couple days or you dont need event currency. Then splurge.

[@Lacheln9]

That depends on perspective. If you are unlucky enough to not get your ships in the gacha through daily rolls, you will have to save gold for your mass roll at the end, and if you are truly unfortunate you might not have enough gold to get them. If you roll and get the ships at the start, you are better able to allocate your gold for future uses (LB, research, retros, etcetc).

Wanna add on the Gacha tip. Don't buy the exchangeable ship at the event shop too early into the event duration, because you can never know if you will luck out and obtain it later on. A friend of mine bought 2 from shops and then built another 3 afterwards, he was so triggered because he could have used that 16000 pts elsewhere. Also, remember to lock the ships you wanna keep, or you might "accidentally" retire/fodder it. Devs have improved the quick retire function but I still prefer to do it personally to avoid any "unwanted accident".

[@Tonyhz_]

I somewhat disagree with not limit breaking your ships, you should only do that if you know exactly what you're doing. It's better to unlock better barrages and all out assaults for your primary party, since it upgrades your damage by a lot. For example, at limit break 0 (lb0), BBs generally fire one round of their gunshot when you use their salvo. At lb1, they fire TWO rounds of their gun shot, and at max lb they fire THREE rounds. This is potentially doubling and tripling your damage, and might be the extra push you need for breaking through higher worlds. I'd recommend to max lb your main 12 fleets as soon as possible, as it helps you progress through the game a lot faster.

[@zenrpgs3864]

I agree you shouldn't do gacha roll outside of event, but only for the heavy pool and the special pool. The reason is event build pool use either Heavy pool or Special pool, so if you don't have some ships permanently added you can still have them during that time. Beside it cost 2 cubes and 1500 gold, not worth it to spend your ressources outside of major event. Instead, I advise you to only build 1 light ship by day outside of event (or if you already have all event ship) and starting at monday. Why do you ask ? It only cost 1 cube and 600 gold and the daily mission "Build 1 ship" reward is 1 cube and 800 gold, meaning you get 1 light shipgirl for free and gain 200 gold. Repeat this everyday until saturday and as a result it's like having 6 free shipgirl and 1200 gold coins earned. On Sunday, build 4 light ships. It cost you 4 cubes and 2400 gold coins, but you already got free 1200 golds during the week, so it's like you only used half of the gold cost. Thanks to the daily mission "Build 1 ship", you gain 1 cube + 800 gold and by building 4 ships on sunday, you have cleared the weekly mission "build 10 ships" which give you 2000 gold and 6 cubes. Your ressources aren't wasted, you even got some extra for free. In summary, you've spent 10 cubes and 6000 gold but gain 13 cubes and 7600 gold, so it's like you've got 3 cubes + 1600 gold for free.

This one is from my own expirience, usually happens to an F2P Higher level skk "Shikikan" but also rarely happens aswell. *DO NOT* I repeat *DO NOT* go on a retrofiting frenzy or you'll regret it. I never used my diamond to buy nothing other than dock space [Some cubes back when Im still new to the 3BD "Three build a day" rule] but other than that I never buy any skin or packs. But once you go into the retrofiting hell, you'll start to lose dock spaces each retrofit since you can't retire the same ship that you used to retire back when you haven't retrofit them. So stepping into the retrofiting hell is actually a 50/50, if you're confidence in your dock capacity, then feel free to retrofit any ship you like [I recomend retrofiting the Foxhound, if you haven't seen her retrofit you better check it out ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]. I was at 250ish dock space back then and I was strugling to keep my dock intact while praying for a free diamond, in the end the God himself "Intern kun" gave us free diamonds, after that I don't really retrofit any common ships anymore. Ps: Im still an F2P Skk after 2 years. :D

[@LowerBlack64]

lmao i went on a retrofit frenzy recently because i had a surplus of gold prints sitting around. Was murder on my resources but it's hella fun having the bragging rights of having 20+ retrofit ships --even if most of them don't have their skills at max level-- But real talk, one of the reasons I did go on a retrofit frenzy was to free up dock space. I'm playing to collect as many ships as possible, so I make it a point to keep a few copies around, particularly for LBs and Fleet Tech points. Between purple Bulins being given out like candy and my collectathon tendencies, I'm always starved for dock space.

Hood with confetti gun be starting a party with that setup

[@HankKD7]

This is part of my science when using a golden 410mm BB gun; used it on Ise and switched it for Honoka!

[@darkdude1996ify]

As someone who buys a monthly card and the occasional lucky bag: if I see T3 Offensive (Red) Skill Books in the shop for gems and they have more than a 30% discount, I buy them. Roughly 70% of all skills in-game are Red skills, and the drop rates for each color skill book is equal (supposedly, although I swear the drops slightly favor Blue books, and Red books are more scarce than the other 2 colors). I've had to resort to using Blue books to level Red skills too many times, and it takes SO LONG to level skills like that. Also, for the people who don't need Techbox gear, you can choose not to craft your tech boxes, since the gold returns for selling the low tier gear are slightly better (only do this if you have too much time on your hands, though)

I must have Little Renown at all costs. I fell in love with her when I saw her. That aside, thanks for the video from a player that started 6 days ago playing :D

[@alexisv625]

8:12 14 cubes... oof. Great video.

[@sovietmiko]

Use the bulins if you want the "touhou experience" Or just use your good destroyers

[@abyssalreclass]

The Type 3 is an AA shell, it's supposed to shatter to improve the chances of hitting groups of planes. Next to useless against ships, unless the entire crew is assembling on the deck to get shot.

[@RayVela]

Recently got back into Azur Lane last month and I’ve fallen for the 410 gold Gun with a beehive shot (which I assume means the same as scatter). I thought it was the volley version at first

[@katrinabartolay3288]

I actually use confetti gun, but solely when I'm auto-play grinding for vanguard pr ships. This is coz it's guaranteed that the bb won't steal the mvp from my vanguard ships.

[@HD-xi7fc]

When I first got the 410mm mounted gun(type 3 shell) I was excited and didn't really looked at the stats. I equipment to someone and used it. I was like,"WOAH....this is worthless"

[@user-yp5ko8us9j]

I just started Azur Lane like 5 days ago and thank god for this video lol. I still have a question though, I followed your advice and didn't do these mistakes. However, when putting guns on my ships, I sorta just slap whatever gun I've got on the ship who has the most efficiency with it and I'm not sure if that's how you're supposed to do it lmao

[@ItsAnderYT]

That kinda works, but gearing is a lot more complicated in this game. I actually made a playlist of the best gears for each ship type that you can find somewhere on my channel. (it is a bit outdated, but it'll explain the reasons behind why a certain gun goes in a certain slot)

[@user-yp5ko8us9j]

@@ItsAnderYT Oh ok, thanks!

[@brokenlegend1179]

I'm glad that I found this video! Super helpful! I started playing the game like 2 weeks ago and I'm still figuring things out and thankfully I guess I did ok to start off but now I know better! Thank you!!!😂😂😂😂

[@that_1_guy_from_mars939]

Let’s just say I made a bunch of mistakes since I got the game a week ago. This really helps so thank you very much

[@takubaka1516]

not gonna lie, first time I play AL, I use Bullins (either gold and purple) into battle, and realize it after months. and yes, 410mm gold scatter gun is a scam I guess tho I enhance it to 10 because I didn't know it (I use it when its already reach 10, and now I regret what I did). I didn't buy any skin because my gems already used on dock expansion (I kept all ship, even I didn't use it, please don't follow my step)

[@Taeschno_Flo]

If you play this game on and off while waiting for something, youll barely have oil problems and if you do, only do your daylies and get it back up. The max amount of oil is 25k, so you can stock up with maintenance rewards so you wont have oil problems during events

[@seiyarenziku]

as a new laner, this is really2 useful, appreciate it 🙏👍

[@deeli3518]

Best azur lane guides on youtube!

[@ItsAnderYT]

Thanks dude! ;)

[@maoyu94]

the "Gold 410mm "Confetti Gun" is used for wiping out planes on chapter 12 and ish good to use by kirishima

[@budmeister]

isnt the confettigun used for shotgunning enemy plane formations out of the sky?

[@ASBA1991]

Put my +10 confetti gun on my Kirishima for full on confetti lulz. Me: Confetti all day b***hes! Also me shocked that she still outdamaged my vanguard during my Roon exp grind.

[@TheBlasterOfMachine]

woah this is really useful, thanks a lot, i have limit broke quite a few of my main ships, but i'm managing to get a fleet just for grinding :P

[@VerkoAviarhidea]

Would be nice to see a series explaining what makes ships actually good compared to other ships and what makes them overrated or maybe add that to the current gear guides. I've never understood what makes Portland T0 in the first place.

[@ItsAnderYT]

I could definitely add that as a part of the gear guides. Once Portland Retro's comes around, I'll be sure to talk about why. For now, I think the reasons are because: - She has very good evasion, comparable to light cruisers (not the best out of all heavy cruisers, but definitely up there) - She has Main Gun +1 like all the other Heavy Cruisers that don't fire torpedoes, meaning very consistent damage output Edit: also, she has the 5th highest health stat out of all heavy cruisers, and very high luck too I think she's rated so high due to a combination of having very solid stats, a useful skill (Defense Order), and obviously since she's so cost-efficient.

[@VerkoAviarhidea]

@@ItsAnderYT yeah that makes a lot of sense, thanks for clearing it up, I'd be sure to riase her up even more, thanks for taking the time for the explaination ander

[@johndo1158]

Finally I found someone who actually gives good tips, thanks

[@6ANUR34DT81S]

Starting my new side hustle as an Admiral today from being a Master in F/GO Hell, is this game nicer lol?

[@rps215]

First limit break is not worth it, it only unlock the basic barrage and slightly increase equipment efficiency. The LB you want is the second one, which gives preload torpedoes or +1 main gun. Most fuel efficient: LB each at 70, 80, 90. This is straightforward maximum efficiency, but chances are you drown in oil in the beginning and your slot get full. Use for ships you are using but not super important. Balanced: Wait until level 50, LB twice then LB again at 90. Do this for the more important ships if you get stuck, especially in W3. MLB ASAP: Exactly like it says, this is most recommended for event exclusives as soon as you get dupes for them as well as ships you wont be using in combat for some time to save space. Bullin lives matter.

[@Dragnmastralex]

I did number 1 only because at the time I had only 4 ships and used it as a 5th ship just so the enemies would have something to shoot at as a decoy to save my other ships from taking all the damage. when I finally got a total of 6 other ships I stopped using it in combat. oh and you can get 2 in a week if the daily sign in is at week 3. I only used the gems to unlock up to 4 slots in my dorm as the more slots you have open the faster they go through the food and with 4 slots that's about 10 hours time. I didn't want to have to log in 4 times a day so I never got slot 5. I use the dorm to only get new ships to level 70, then I limit break them when I can and use them in combat to get them higher levels from that point. I don't use gems to buy skins, I earn skins by doing events. instead I always save up my gems to buy vow rings. the rings allows you to boost your ships total stats and raises their affection level so you can do even more damage with ships you use often a much better investment than skins.

[@kihoshi5731]

Hey ander, Thanks for the tips my friends recommended me watching your guides and tips because im new at playing azurlane thanks this is very helpful. -Much love from the philippines

[@DasNya]

don't judge me, but I use confetti gun with my North Carolina in W12/W13, and she is doing well with it :3 Like another one already said: If the shell explosion hitting aircraft they going down in an instant (thats the purpose of the type-3 shell, it's AA ammunition). And there are 2 little nice side effects: 1. The high spread can clear a entire screen half in one shot if it's filled with small enemies 2. North Carolina only - she has a buff skill that increase her FP with the AA Stat, and the type-3 has 25 AA but tbh, I only use 1 Type-3, and this is the one on North Carolina, for any other ship this one is really meh =) If some one want to use it anyways, a tip: If you aim manually, aim behind your target and most of the shells should hit

[@GumpfeR6]

We nit gonna talk about why he was so far zoomed in during the intro laughing while talking.

[@yourlocalweebfriend3537]

I know right, that zoomed-in seems sus

[@966Ranger]

You forgot to mention that spending gems on dock expansion is also worth doing, even moreso than spending it on skins

[@orzorzelski1142]

This! There are what, 500+ boats in the game, and the bigger harem the better. I mean fleet, more options, more flexibility, etc..

[@DedicatedCaffeineUser]

I’ve only ever used bulins in battle for their low oil cost. Even still, there are better ships both in terms of oil efficiency and stats.

[@Zypherfox1]

←New player who doesn't know how to expand the dorm so spent gems on waifu skins 😂 also didnt know they could combine boxes

[@cookies23z]

literally started the game, and understood the bulins are for the grinder I will say, the comments on rainbow bulin are wonderful :) also commenting on a 2y old vid edit: anyways, the only trap I fell into was early limit breaking, at least I have the excuse of saving dockspace...

[@moredread2599]

Just watched this video and I just realized dailies existed. It took me until level 70 to see them

[@Prodigy70]

Im saving gems for Kashino rerun because that skin is a must. Dock space is also becoming a bit of trouble so maybe that too in the future.

[@SupremeNoble]

Thanks! I haven't played since 2018 and I have forgotten everything lol, thank you so much!

[@chrispascual8118]

Thanks for the dorm expansion tip, I thought it was an item I would get later. Turns out there is another confirmation for 100 dorm coins

[@kenneth7497]

Don’t retire your bulins early on. Learned that the hard way

[@rivenncodm3025]

My first mistake as a beginner who just play a week ago was using "Universal Bulin" as an enhancement material

[@Killbunny]

I dismantled Gangut's Triple 305 before reading her skill

[@ItsAnderYT]

nooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@darknessscythe1]

Arg I feel your pain. I found out about that thanks to somebody KZbin video about her before I dismantled it luckily.

[@evann4391]

Nice, i legit made every single possible mistakes apparently lmao

[@Tristan98]

I save one copy of each Gold Bulin & Purple Bulin, just from commissions they are at level 72. Also the game gave me 6 of the god damn Confetti gun amount of BPs and it is still increasing.

[@vert2552]

i hope when they finally will add Yamato to the game, she will have skill so the 410mm gun will be destroying everything (and will be useful :V)

[@avihaydemonsanimation1344]

The only mistake I did when I started to play Azur lane is I used the golden Bulin. I used her in battle only once because I quickly realized that she is used to limit brake XD

[@gidi3250]

I remember when I started out I used my prototypes for enhancement (I went in with no knowledge of what to do in the game)

[@turtinator8735]

0:49 that bulin skin lookin lit af

[@jacquesmonreal2930]

Me who bought discounted cog chips, full course, and royal gourmet for 500+ gems, bought 1 furniture, used a gold bullin in battle instead of purple ones for the rainbow bullin newbie mission, and retiring gold bullins for getting z46 in the medal shop 😃😃😃

[@Monsterpala]

prototype bullins are meant for pvp defence fleets (thank you to all the nice people who put em in insteat of lvl 110 retrofits ect so new players can win some merrits and exp ! )
