Azur Lane Explain: Hard Mode Maps (Where to Get Core Data and Retrofit Blueprints)

[@Qiwar]

1:06 Weird word choice but it accurately describes the fan base of this game

[@Phantom_Of_Fury]

I just finished Retrofitting Long Island!! I'm going to work on my DD Shipgirls first before moving onto BBs!! Thanks for this, Ander!!

[@zelkk7049]

How u doing in the new UR?

[@RNLittorio]

long island lmfao

[@JeffHardy1526]

Thank you, I was looking for this. I'm still new and looking to retrofit Warspite XD

[@ItsAnderYT]

You're welcome! Warspite's retro is pretty expensive but she's totally worth it. Make sure to 3-star every "-3" hard mode map on every chapter for those gold battleship blueprints too! edit: i forgot to add the word hard

[@iliketurtles5180]

@@ItsAnderYT Which retro is more preferable, Sandy or warspite?

[@SahiPie]

@@iliketurtles5180 Both lol. Difference is that warspite is pretty good even without retro while sandy is really meh

[@iliketurtles5180]

@@SahiPie I don't have warspite atm but I'm almost done with sandy retro. The wait is going to be so long >_

[@SahiPie]

@@iliketurtles5180 Yeah, I started over on IOS from my Android account and it's gonna be quite a wait for the reruns here. Won't matter as I haven't gotten either yet anyways 😅

[@minalamin9415]

Hi Andre I shart my self when I saw your ships

[@ItsAnderYT]

fantastic

[@Diserasta]

Is there any point in sweeping enemy escort fleets in Hard Mode Stages? Or you should just go straight after the Boss via Clearing_Mode&Auto-Search and bypass enemy escort? Maybe there are some exceptions (specific cost effective stages or good drops) or there is a reason to route escort ships by doing stages without enabling Clearing Mode?

[@N120Xeno]

If you’re only after the core data and blueprints then just enable clearing mode since you can only get those on the boss fleet

[@NothingVain]

question, how do you reduce the threat level to safe? I already 100% it and 3 starred a stage, yet the threat level is still red

[@ItsAnderYT]

All you have to do now is clear the stage a couple more times. When you click on the threat level, there should be a single digit number in "threat level evaluation". You will have to clear that stage until the single digit number reaches 0, then the threat level will become safe.

[@NothingVain]

@@ItsAnderYT thank you very much

[@RenKohana]

Is Ander’s Core Data shop guide still available that he mentions at 1:40?

[@LordElpme]

couldn't see it on his channel anywhere unless it's part of another topic

[@tf-lobo141]

Thanks for this video.really helped me out.

[@ItsAnderYT]

Anytime bro!

[@rubentacvbo]

Is there any X-1 map which we could easily get gold destroyer blueprints? Thanks for the video

[@ItsAnderYT]

The easiest map that drops gold destroyer blueprints is 3-1. No one knows whether or not doing a higher difficulty stage has a better drop rate, so that's all I can say. Edit: and of course, the map has to be on Hard Mode, normal maps do not drop retrofit blueprints.

[@Proxy02]

Are the chances to get any t3 gold blueprints small? Cause i already farm for like 5 days for t3 gold carrier blueprints but no luck at all they only gave me either blue or purple ones

[@darkviniek6917]

Is there a specific stage or chapter that has a higher rate?....im trying to Limit break sandy ;--;

[@ItsAnderYT]

The higher the chapter, the more core data you get from each stage. For blueprints, you just gotta get lucky lol You can 3 star the hard mode stages and you can get blueprints that way too.

[@ghostarmy1106]

Late but i hope you see my question: does a higher difficulty map give more core data?

[@MolfredoSascha]

Bruh... It took me like 300 blue CV retrofit prints to realize each map give you retroprint for each class

[@cloudythursday9937]

I think i am to dumb to clear the whole hard mode stages beginning from 1-1. No matter what i don´t seem to get the requirement for Defeating all escort fleets. i tried it several times but it just wont come...

[@AnkuRaizo]

Question is every map is the same chance/percent to get the retr blueprint?

[@ItsAnderYT]

From what I know, there are no solid results of the actual drop rates. One guy posted a survey on Reddit for it, but the data does not seem trustworthy. Link if you want to see: www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/adv8k1/hard_mode_blueprint_drop_rate_result_from_164/ Personally, I would farm the most difficult hard mode map I can beat for the retrofit blueprint I want because it would give out more core data.

[@harvyleo]

Is portland retrofit good? Because i have 12 purple blueprints for portland

[@ItsAnderYT]

Yes she is! She's an extremely cheap and reliable vanguard that will definitely help you in early to mid-game.

[@harvyleo]

Thx for the advice

[@nlb137]

You got a link to that core data buying guide? Can't find it.

[@feannn6600]

Im retrofit-ing long island rn, is she good?

[@ItsAnderYT]

Sadly, Long Island retro is very subpar. She could be viable in early game, but she gets severely overshadowed by other carriers such as Saratoga retrofit and Enterprise. If you like the character, I recommend you still finish her retrofit, but just know that in later maps she might be underperforming.

[@zhanbolatmurzashov4001]

she is good. But it requires some luck. her skills allows her to launch multiple airstrikes if you are lucky. me best shot was when she once launched 4 airstrikes successively

[@feannn6600]

@@zhanbolatmurzashov4001 yo thanks for the advice, i already lvl 89 rn and understood how the game works. if u play in sandy u can add me : Feann

Glad to help!

[@fuiraaa3758]

How can i spawn the enemy escorts fleet? I want to clear mission 1/1 - 1/4 and i got stuck on 2 stars.

[@Sorcerer86pt]

remove the clearing mode checkmark.

[@EliB207]

I only need one good retrofit blueprint to get st. Louis, and they keep giving me blue ones

[@Lazarosa.]

You probably already discovered this but, if you 3star a hard map you will complete a mission that gives you the better ones.

[@dawned9947]

Ander, is the amount of core data dependant of the difficulty of the stage?

[@Akira14496]

yeah he said it in the video he does chapter 8 since he gets more core data

[@ryankouim8502]

Is retrofitting Portland worth it? Like is she a good ship in general? Cause I’ve seen that she’s in a pretty high tier Rn

[@PhantomCatMusic]

Portland is a cheap and effective retrofit and makes for a great tank until you can get your hands on PR and event Heavy cruisers.

[@RealNotallGaming]

perfect! thank you so much X,D \0/

[@ItsAnderYT]

thanks! ;>

[@RealNotallGaming]

@@ItsAnderYT im farming for neptune priority ship! thank you again \0/ but what is the lesser stage for farm gold ticket for retrofit? i am on the stage1 of hard mode XP

[@ItsAnderYT]

@@RealNotallGaming By "lesser" do you mean purple retrofit cruiser blueprints? If yes, then it should be every hard mode stage with a -2 at the end. (Ex: 1-2, 2-2, etc.) If you are looking for GOLD retrofit cruiser blueprints for Neptune's second requirement then they start to drop from 3-2 and forward (Ex: 3-2, 4-2, 5-2 etc.)
