Liking the way she braided her hair.

 

Also beware the hidden sword she has with her.

 

Something else i would like to see is each girl having a western style wedding dress and an eastern one. (Though i always say  jokingly that her Lessons of Spring outfit is her second wedding outfit.)

I am down with this idea. What I do appreciate is the small detail, of making a vow to the asian ships and marrying the western ones. 

 

I wouldn't be against Takao getting an oath skin like Atago's...

To go along with that event is the 3x core data!

 

 

? Always a plus to see that again & the two light ships that are being permanently added in EN servers too!

 

Kinda sad that Blue Archive delayed from end of December 2020 to beginning 2021!

First pull of the event. Literally the first build done for the daily mission. I get garlic shark

[Black54Ninja]

I was thinking of putting this in my last post, but since San Diego suddenly wanted to steal the spotlight by being 1st in the 5 cubes pull.

 

I do have her stage which is ready just for San Diego!

From experience, Late December is implying next week. Buckle up guys because this will be a doozy.

Thank you for always playing "Azur Lane".

 

To adjust the game balance, we plan to make the following changes (strengthening) to the skills of existing ships.

 

・ South Dakota's Strongest Shield

Activates every 30 seconds. Replaces 50% of the damage taken by the main fleet for 8 seconds. Restores the durability of the damage received after that

↓

Activated once 15 seconds after the start of the battle and every 25 seconds thereafter. Replaces 50% of the damage taken by the main fleet for 10 seconds. Restores the durability of the damage received after that, and further increases your own firepower (the effect of increasing firepower can be added up to 3 times)

 

・ Prince of Wales Royal Alliance

During battle, each union ship on your side will increase its firepower, anti-aircraft, loading, and evasion.

↓

At the start of the battle, each union ship in the ally fleet has increased its own firepower, anti-aircraft, loading, and avoidance (up to 3 ships can be added * the increase value for each ship is higher than before the correction).

If there are 3 or more Union ships in your fleet, you can further shorten your first fire preparation time, increase the firepower and anti-aircraft of the avant-garde fleet Union ship, and increase the air and anti-aircraft of the main fleet Union ship.

 

・ Graf Zeppelin Iron-Blooded Wings

Reduces damage to iron-blooded ships

↓

Reduces damage to ships of the Iron-Blooded camp. For each iron-blooded ship of the ally fleet, your own aviation is up (up to 3 ships can be added)

 

・ Graf Zeppelin Iron-Blooded Hawk

When equipped with Clap carrier-based aircraft (BF-109T, ME-155A, JU-87C, etc.), the power correction of each is increased.

↓

If you are equipped with one or more iron-blooded carrier-based aircraft, the power correction of all your own carrier-based aircraft frames will be increased.

 

・ Big Hunting

Increased damage to heavy cruisers. -- Is it the battle history that sank Graf Spee?

↓

Increases your own lightning and avoidance, and increases the damage you do to medium armored enemies. [Additional effect of heavy cruiser: If your main gun attack hits the same enemy 4 times, the speed of that enemy is reduced for 5 seconds]

 

・ Shokaku Guardian Crane

Increases damage dealt by allies for 12 seconds after air strike, reduces damage received

↓

Activated during your own air attack. Increases damage dealt to enemies by allies for 12 seconds and reduces damage received from enemies

 

・ Zuikaku Crane of Encouragement

After an air attack, the damage of the next air attack is increased, and can be accumulated up to 3 times.

↓

At the beginning of the battle, if there are 3 or more friendly heavy cherry ships, your air attack damage will increase; at the time of your air attack, the damage that your next air attack will do to the enemy will increase (the effect of this skill is maximum) Can be added up to 3 times)

 

・ Javelin Kai Assault Form ・ EX

Activated every 20 seconds with a probability. Assault form ・ Enter EX state, fire a powerful barrage, and increase your own lightning strike by 30% for 5 seconds.

↓

Activated every 20 seconds with a probability. Assault form ・ Enter EX state, fire a powerful barrage, and increase your own lightning strike by 30% for 8 seconds.

 

・ Victorious Victory Song

Increases damage to your battleship and reduces projectile damage received

↓

Increases damage to your own battleships and reduces projection damage received; increases damage to battleships of your fleet carrier / light aircraft carrier

 

・ Massachusetts Big Mamie

At the start of the battle, each union heavy cruiser / battleship other than the friendly fleet will increase its own firepower, anti-aircraft, and avoidance (up to 3 ships can be added).

↓

At the start of the battle, each friendly fleet's union heavy cruiser / battleship will increase its own firepower, anti-aircraft, and avoidance (up to 3 ships can be added).

 

Massachusetts £ 2700 Justice

The attribute of the main gun attack becomes "armor-piercing super heavy bullet". When hitting a target, the power increases depending on the flight distance of the hit shell.

↓

When your own main gun attack hits an enemy, the power increases depending on the distance of the hit shell (if the secondary armament frame is equipped with union weapons, the maximum increase value changes, and the attribute of the main gun attack is " It becomes an armor-piercing super heavy bullet ")

 

・ Taiho Aviation Cooperation

When the loading of its own air attack is completed, it will make an air attack by the meteor, comet, and Ayakumo attack corps with each probability (Ayakumo does not attack the enemy, and for 8 seconds from the start, the damage done by the main fleet of the ally 10% up)

↓

When the loading of its own air attack is completed, one of the meteor, comet, and Ayakumo will make an air attack, and the remaining two types will make an air attack with their respective probability (Ayakumo will attack the enemy). (Increases the damage dealt by the main fleet of allies by 10% for 8 seconds from the start)

 

・ Reno Vigilante Supporter

At the beginning of the battle, if a light aircraft carrier / aircraft carrier is in a battle-ready state in the fleet, its own critical rate will increase; each light aircraft carrier / aircraft carrier will increase the damage done to its own destroyer / light cruise ( Can be added up to 3 times). Reduces damage to friendly light aircraft carriers and aircraft carriers in the first and second battles of the fleet to which they belong

【Operation Siren】 In Operation Siren, Oil is not required for sorties. Instead, Action Point (AP) will be used for entering zones and GM commands. AP will regenerate overtime and can be instantly refilled by using oil or items.

"After the upcoming maintenance, the Blueprint Completion Plan for Roon will be available. Commanders will be able to obtain extra Roon blueprints after each research. The maximum number of Roon blueprints obtainable in this event is 30."

Personally I rather have Odin blueprints than Roon, since I am severely close to get Odin research completion in no time.  Eventhough their focus on BCP is PR1 ships!

I wonder if Meta will be a level even beyond UR  or if it will be it's own thing like PR kinda is.

I've finally completed acquiring Odin after working on F. D. G. leveling up to 119.  Next up is still the PR1 ships that I'd been putting on hold.

 

 

I also decided to do a 1-time rate up for the current return of the war god and got the two ships that I do care more is Hiei & Hamakaze.  Though I'm surprise to get Hiei-chan in the same pull & I did bought all 3 Hiei skins after getting the gems package.

If anyone is struggling with Operation Siren, I've got this advise. You get extra 2 fleets at start of chapter 2. 

 

On the topic: who's enjoying the new mode? So much to balance in the game now ?

It's mostly good otherwise some translation still in chinese or japanese as well few stability issues with the loading in textures. They should've spend bit more time with maintenance than to release these small patches. I tend to heal more at the port than the healing items!

 

I give it a 4 stars & it does give a decent amount of healing items & action points supplies.  A huge plus that involves no morale to your squad & no oil usage (Except to use for Action points recoup).
