Azur Lane

[Mipsy]

Real life + Elden Ring reduced my active AL playtime for a spell, but I harnessed said reduced time wisely.

Shipgirls:

 

Spoiler

 

Amazingly hadn't landed any of the small trio yet, but in arrived Skirt, Butt, & T-pose.

 

 

Rolled Eskimo halfway through so yay, happy~♪ Scharn META also docked. c: Wasn't actually familiar with 'Chalk', but hey! o3o Hobby's counterpart can stay.

 

Retrofits:

 

Spoiler

 

Diverse quartet, cool. :] I like each of 'em: Neko, BIG-ARSE FAN, Big Sis, & Shy Schoolgirl. (Seriously though, digging Matsu's huge fan~)

 

Not much fond of the current event's setup, but the shop ship will come home if nothin' else although I am also holding out hope for Impero somewhere in there. ^.^ Best of fortune, all~ [Edit: got Impero, woo-hoo!]

Edited March 27, 2022 by Zas
Got Impero :D

[Leon Castle]

New Shipgirls:

More or less came after I said "I might try", so no need to use any more wisdom cubes this event.

At last August-chan is mine. Now to prepare her for use in my "mixed Faction Waifu fleets".

There I'm done with the event, wonder if "Part 2" is up next or later on this year.

Do Manjuu plan to make a META version of the whole Sakura Empire or something? So long they finally add Takao META down the line I be fine with many Sakura Empire METAs... maybe.

Plausible, man. I would not doubt that they aim to create META variants for at least a third of the IJN fleet, half or more if counting only the Elites & above.

Before maintenance begins and ends and restarts again, completed:
 

Spoiler

 

Leon Castle Sleepy bedhead arrived, yay~ Was unsure that I'd land her.

 

 

Conductor Gal too, nice~ As expected, needed her from the event shop, not Cubes.

 

 

Poor META gals need more sunlight. ;o; She's my /sole/ Yamashiro, atm.

 

 

She continues to look rad. What is with Retrofits and baring their butts. o3o Retrofitting might obviate the inclination for panties?

 

 

Okay, super sly smug nekomimi wears...a thong or something. Progress. =w=

 

Had a random thought that we've heard nothin' much about the followup to Crosswave, announced Sep. 2021. Kinda ambivalent about that, but knowing me, I'd purchase it at *some* pricepoint nonetheless. ^-^'

[Leon Castle]

New Shipgirl:

Took me a while to grind for the Sync Points I needed to unlock her since I only have done the daily META Showdown assists. Might have to think about doing "my own" daily META Showdown if I want Scharnhorst META at 6* or do the same I do with Helena META and wait for a rerun that may never come or a Bulin META becomes a thing.

 

Speaking of reruns, a rerun of Aurora Noctis is coming soon. Now I can get my vengeance and finally(hopefully) get Perseus... Now I think about it, did the first Northern Parliament event get a rerun before the Northern Parliament UR event came? Maybe a Royal Navy UR event comes right after the rerun is over.

[Black54Ninja]

I've managed to get all the Aurora Noctis shipgirls including Perseus!  Hermione took 2 days since i needed to earn more points.  It took more than a hundred cubes but still kept in the thousands.

 

 

As you can see the most important girls from the event get to be in the dorm set plus the trophy that I'd earn during the same day of getting the girls & the outfits.

Whenever it happens, the next HMS event will bring me to my knees. ;-; It's been far too long.

So uhh...I cleaned up in AL, of recent.

Shipfu:

 

Spoiler

I landed all four non-purchasable RN shipgirls on the mini rerun's first day. @.@ Including Howe, first pull, for real. Talk about unrepeatable fortune. Howe and Valiant particularly please me! In order of receipt:

 

 

Afterward, I spun regular pulls & also nicked a pair of gals from the merit shop. Chao Ho's totes Keqing, dangit. >w< Concord's the coolest, really glad for her arrival, too rad~♪

 

 

Retrofits:

 

Spoiler

A quartet, again! Hatsuharu looks adorable yet also alluring; Hamakaze...still looks hella short >w< heh; Forbin gains badassery whilst retaining her sexiness; Curlew just outright multiplies sexiness. @.@ Whew, maid to order....

 

 

...think I'll breathe a lil'. @.@ Thing is, I got downtime between job & life tasks, with less recent access to the PS5. AL it is, then~. Righto! Cheers to the upcoming events, to all AL players here, and to the hardiness to replenish everyone's Wisdom Cubes for the inevitable UR! o/

[Leon Castle]

New Shipgirl:

Finally got the last Event Shipgirl I wanted and as luck would have it, I got her 5x times so I can limit break her the day she reach Level 70.

 

Skin:

Got the Season Pass so I got the new Esty skin along with it. Nice skin but I still plan to use her Racing Skin.

 

Retrofits:

And with last of the EXP packs you get from the season missions both free(blue ones) and paid(purple), I re-started going of retrofiting shipgirls I like, how long I can keep it up this time only god knows.

 

The new event looks to be a Iron Blood (sees the northern parliament NPC shipgirl Sovetsky Soyuz) one? the hell is going on here? and no Iron Blood shipgirl is gaining a 20% more XP, only a Northern Parliament, Royal Naval, Eagle Union and Sakura Empire is given a 20% more XP shipgirl btw. if it's a mixed major event instead of a Northern Parliament one then calling it Call to Arms: Royal Naval/Eagle Union/Sakura Empire would make more sense if it's due to RL reasons. It's still a confusing mess though.

Never or not if I get the joy of adding Sovetsky Soyuz to my HaremFleet, I'm going to work on getting the last Cleveland-class shipgirl and the last PR1 EXP packs I need to get Neptune(the Blue haired/AL one) while waiting for whatever the hell is coming next week to Azur Lane.

[Tosmasta00]

Kinda forgot to post my newest ships for a while so here the ones i got since my last post:

 

 



More like Akagi Meta

 



The only ship i managed to get from that event as even she took me some cubes to get.... Didn't manage to get her outfit either.

 



She took me way too many cubes to get. RATE UP A LIE!!!! Also didn't notice my screenshot app was turned off so had to screenshot this instead of the GET pic.

 

 

As for outfits i got these ones

A simple and nice Casual outfit.

 



I wanted that one since the first time they had the nurse outfits up least this time i had the gems for it.

[Black54Ninja]

After watching the upcoming Thursday new SMS Iron Blood event earlier this morning as it felt like a snoozefest.   As I will pull all the ships, but the skins are all meh & the dorm set being a hard pass since I'm not really into vampire theme.  Just as interesting as knowing at the same time Black Surge Night going to end their JP service on June 30th.  Luckily I do have a back up game to take over that slot, but that being unexpected to go along with the livestream.

2 in 1 ship does look fascinating!

 

 

 

I was hoping for Smol FDG IMO!

[AlchemistWer]

New UR HMS next month let's gooo!

[Leon Castle]

New Shipgirl:

Another one for the collection.

Now the 2nd series 1 Priority ship I wanted is finished, now to start the development on Mainz.

 

Retrofits:

 

Oath:

With that I have oathed my top 4 AL girls, now it only remains to max them.

 

So the only thing "Iron Blood" about the new event is the new shipgirls and story and yet again Sovetsky Soyuz was a trick.

Looking forward to the White-haired Red and Blue Eyed Shipgirl and this one

Might go for this Side-Tail one's Maid skin of the new Vampire-Themed ones and later on Hipper's new skin.

 

[Leon Castle]

New Shipgirl:

I got her so many times that I almost thought I was cursed.

Then I first saw this two in one shipgirl, I thought they were a Normal Shipgirl and a META Shipgirl sharing a body.

Took all my cubes to get her. I can kinda relate to her negative outlook.

 

Skin:

Looks like my skin planning went the other way. Comparing "Base/Normal" Hipper in this skin with Muse Hipper did show they look more the same now well except the Muse version has darker hair than the Hipper with/without the new skin.

 

Oath:

 

Now to do the event story and grind for Thüringen, Seydlitz, loli Eugen and while also trying to farm for Columbia.

 

 

[Leon Castle]

Event story cleared sort of(miss chapter 32-34).

 

New Shipgirl:

Just one "limited" shipgirl left to collect.

There's the Loli finally gotten so now I swap her out with Emden.

At last the last Cleve is mine.

Now the Point related shipgirls is gotten.

 

Skin:

 

Looks the next event storywise (that be a sequel of sorts to rondo at rainbow's end) might be a META one and a Iris Libre/Vichya Dominion vs Sardegna Empire or just Marco Polo (based on chapter 33 & 34). For the event we do get is a rerun of Wallflower in the Corner, after that who knows, for now I work on clearing Chapter 12.

[AlchemistWer]

I love how Azur Lane looks in an iPad. ?

Spoiler

 

[Black54Ninja]

 

I'm sure that this should've been a no-brainer to be with FDG & Iron Blood at least once!  Why would we decline the offer from FDG? *Shakes head*

 

 

Finally I got Drake to complete the DR for the PR until PR5 comes out soon.  Had to use the Combat data pack since she was the default pick.  Before I got Drake which Seattle join in the fleet too.

 

Btw, I did got all the Iron Blood SMS shipgirls which I'm not quite focusing on much.  Could we see more WWI ships from other factions just like Iron Blood?

 

 

On that note, I did manage to get Pola on the very 1st single pull when it was done with maintenance.  I will get Littorio in the merit shop & not for the pulls unless doing daily single pulls.   The other option would be getting from the war archive drop which I'm not to use except more for dupes.

 

Of course the big news is the upcoming HMS event that everybody is waiting to see.

 

Edited May 16, 2022 by Black54Ninja

[Leon Castle]

New Shipgirls:

Now all the "Limited" shipgirls is added to my collection, now to try to collect all the shipgirls I miss from the Merit Shop.

While waiting for my fleets to get stronger so I can try again on Chapter 12 stage 2-onwards, I went and started on trying to get all "Drop only" shipgirls i can get on the stages before 12-2.

 

Retrofit:

Done with this retrofit. Next.

Those two can stay in the "leveling" commission until they hit LV 100.

 

Nice to know that after the maintenance, there's a Blueprint Completion Plan for my Drake so I might get her to Dev. Level 30.

[Leon Castle]

The New UR Royal Navy event has revealed the new shipgirls and skin & retrofit coming next week:

Names by order:

• UR HMS BB Vanguard
• SR HMS CV Indomitable
• SR HMS DD Jervis
• Elite HMS BB Revenge
• Elite HMS CL Bellona
• Little Cheshire (Now they make lolis out of Research ships, what's next? a META Loli?)
• Repulse META
• Memphis META

The one getting a retrofit is Unicorn and the oath skins is New Jersey, Saratoga(already has too many skins) and Forbin.

Still the ships this time is a mix of WW1 and WW2 ones. If the RNG gods is with me(or me being so stubborn that I throw all the wisdom cubes I have and get at the Limited Construction Pool) I go for Vanguard, Indomitable and Revenge(and add the rest to my collection). Repulse META I will try to fully limit break but seeing as I have been too lazy with the whole Operation Siren to fight my own META Boss and only done META boss assists since Operation Siren day one I might end up with a almost fully limit break Repulse META.

WELP-

Now they've gone and done it. 8D Since I have gone easy on Azur Lane for a short stretch, I have the Cubes stockpiled to guarantee Vanguard. ♪

Not only is that all but certain, IMO, but to bring the fanbase wholly to its knees, next could come UR Loli -> UR META Loli. Prob'ly Shinano but NJ wouldn't surprise me either. If Shimakaze already qualifies as quasi-loli then a META Shimakaze would be radical to foreshadow that Idea Factory Crosswave console followup. Would totes dig META inclusion into that game. :>

Been a brief while, here were my results -

Shipgirls:
 

Spoiler

 

Pulled Seydlitz (bae<3<3 love a good woman in uniform~) right as I earned the 8,000 to redeem her, heh. Pulled multiple Lutzow & Elbing, big happy there, then attained the reward ship & miraculously landed an Emden 3 hours before the event concluded. Gods did I savor the Rainbow at Rondo's End event, Friedrich's "Ironblood Sue" status be damned. Felt like trackable progress for the first time in...ages, which, it has been. .3. Afterward, cashed in Mutsu from the shop 'cause I've sought her for a long freakin' time & ate the associated cost. Cute little twerp. ^.^

 

Retrofits:

 

Spoiler

 

Kagerou's retrofit was long long long overdue, apologies to her for my tardiness. ;-; Aaand, turned out, I had a regular Yamashiro all along, not the META variant only. Whoops, goofed! I rapidly rose her to Retrofit. ^-^ Hot & precious both. Speaking of 'Shiro....

 

Outfit:

 

Spoiler

 

...heh. =w=;; Cleared this one's 7-day mini-event, indeed for the sukumizu. ♪

 

Super keen to see Memphis & Repulse receive META! ovo Plus a Unicorn Retrofit, dang. Great prospects. Will continue to take it light in the Azur realm for a tad longer yet, but come next event....boom~♪

 

[Tosmasta00]

A thing about Ägir's maid outfit

 

[Mipsy]

Burned 90 rolls in Azur Lane for ~38 minutes at lunch, whereupon the RNG Goddess opted to bless my unplanned dedication - shipfu aplenty:

 

Spoiler

 

Roll #2: Tosa - another one of those 'solemn-eyed' ladies. Keen, tho'. ^.^

 

Roll #9: Massachusetts - honestly never expected to land this babe, but mmm yeah will take her. 83

 

Roll #27: Ashigara - schoolgirl samurai, unsurprising.

 

Rolls #52 + #54: Vanguard - DAMN, a duo of the Ultra Rare, a duplicate quick! 0.0 Elated to receive her, raise her, all hail the Queen etc. etc. ~ ♪

 

Roll #59: North Carolina - apparently one of the envies of the fanbase. o3o I'll take 'er.

 

Roll #67: Deutschland - *at last*, gunning for her for a long stretch. \o/ Shark swam home to dock, yay~

 

Roll #82: Indomitable - neato, another banner lady. I can see her becoming popular to heck. (Her shop costume/outfit, yowza.)

 

Roll #83: Revenge - *and* directly succeeding, the Rare! That mops up the banner apart from the pair of point boats.

 

Motivated as ever to chug through this event's plotline - I dig the increasing interconnection w/ the META ships. My longtime gal pal Warspite takes larger lead, much like trusty Georgia from Rainbow at Rondo's End. Again, I dig it. The regal soundtrack energizes, too. We'll see how this Siren sequence unfolds. Great fortune to all~ o/

[Tosmasta00]

I know i'm late but had a bit of net porblems and seems like imgur had some problems aswell

 

I gotta say though the story of the event was amazing.

 

Anyway here the ships i got:

Something about her desgin is just YES! YES! YES! but i can't really pinpoint the why.

Something else about her



 



Got her twice as far as i remember

 



I really like how much easier the smol ships are now to get compared to the boring 60 times the same fight. I even have already enough points for the current smol ship.

 



Nice Heterochromia also was quite tempted to buy her skin.

 



 



 



Fitting that i got that Meta ship during the Iron Blood event.

 

Also yeah i never did manage to get Lützow

 

 

One of the bestest parts in the event story:

Mama Fried out there playing 4D chess.

[Leon Castle]

New Shipgirls:

Spoiler

Well that's the last shipgirl I can get from "Bands"

"Holy sh...." my reaction at getting Vanguard on my 30th pull

And then my 40th pull give me both Revenge and Indomitable. I must say, I was one lucky bastard on this Limited Construction Pool.

Been waiting for the Wishing Well Construction to return so I could finally get both Zeppys. (Finds out days later you can get Graf Zeppelin for free afler playing the mini game 7 times)

Give me a break

Skins:

 

A New NPC and who knows how long she stays a NPC.

Holy sh... Saber Alter I mean Renown META. Looks like I'm going to be doing a lot of META boss assists to almost fully limit break those Sisters.

[Leon Castle]

New Shipgirls:

There's the total points reward ship and Black Prince's older sister gotten

There's the new SP "META" and "Loli" shipgirls gotten.

That's all of the new Royal Navy shipgirls gotten. Hopefully Janus won't stay a NPC as long as Sovetsky Soyuz, Enterprise META and Takao META current is.

 

Soon have done all Event Stages at hard.

[Tosmasta00]

Found this twitter post earlier

https://twitter.com/u_treasure_pr/status/1537254684796211201

 

and does anyone know where to get that Takao Standee without having to buy a ring?

[Leon Castle]

Skins:

Apparently I did not clear this event the last time it ran.

 

Oath:

One more Shipfu's heart is conquered. Now to conquer Indomitable.

 

btw UR is stronger then SR right? For my Fleet 2 I'm thinking of using New Jersey(or Vanguard) as my Battleship and Flagship until Yamato is out(might be a long time to she comes and hopefully is not a NPC like Sovetsky Soyuz, Enterprise META, Takao META and Janus)
