one tip you miss is you can use Scan mode to know which resource nodes are safe, ambush, and even alarms (that makes the rest disappear) , dont sleep on the scan mode as it provides some useful information

Since you can only pick up like 2 of the 4, it's important to get the jackpot node :) * You *can* clear the zone. You just need to be at a node at the sides rather than anywhere on the map. * You get the supply shop vouchers for leftover items on reset (not the AP or repair stuff though, so use that up). Not fully sure how the whole reset mechanic will work. And yeah so many books. Going to see if it can speak up a certain upcoming German event. * Randomly draws 10 Prototype Cores. OMG... so jealous.
thanks for the guide. the video started with a painful reminder that I have yet to wait for a Noshiro rerun though xD you actually answered something very simple that i didnt even know was a question i had.... i was going only to adjacent tiles. I did not realize you can go anywhere where its safe + all their adjacent tiles in one go.... so to go to port i would clear tile after tile going back and forth, wasting tons of time. so thanks for that. now the mode makes a lot more sense all of a sudden xD
i'm a bit ashamed to say this but i never really found the relevance in OpSi because i never knew what it was actually for, to me it was just another daily that i had to complete when i logged onto azur lane. but now that i'm level 100 i'm starting to realize that there are so many weapons that i want that can only be obtained through OpSi. soo this guide is really helpful. 100% going to be referencing this (and hope everything is relatively up to date) as i start my newfound grind through OpSi to get materials for the Gear Lab weapons.
A bit wrong on the fleets. Shelling, Airstrikes, and torps(really just Ibuki and Noshiro in a fleet). It is possible to have a boss that takes significantly reduced damage from both shelling and airstrikes. Also consider putting in a repair ship early(can be placed in any fleet), which will repair all ships in all fleets by 10% when you clear an area(helpful on lower level maps to keep ships healthy while you gobble up all the bonuses and open up routes, not helpful at all on higher level maps where you need maximum damage over sustained health) also, you get 0 xp for defeating fleets on maps you don't spend AP to enter(aka story maps, except story map chains that charge you AP to involuntarily enter new maps)
Yes, there are torp nerfs too. But I'd still make 2 boss fleets (one with CVs and one with BBs). Being a boss fleet, both will probs have torps so you probably won't have all 3. Yes, repair ships give 10%. Ahh that makes sense for the 0AP thing, so main story is a no.
@@AzurLaneMeta It might be useful to construct a torp boss fleet(as opposed to a CV or BB boss fleet that happens to have torps). Shoukaku(even though she is normally a very suboptimal choice) would be crucial to that due to her ability to buff vanguard damage dealt and reduce vanguard damage taken simultaneously for a short time.
Thanks I was doing the OPS tutorial because the game forced me into it and haven't played it in a few months, now coming back to try it I obviously have way better ships available and I couldn't find out how to switch them in.
I bet this mode is mostly a reference to the Battle of the Atlantic Ocean, not because of the ships that participated it or the events, but mostly cause of strategies tactics that were taken action to weaken the force. Like list of examples, why were Submarines going to be important in OPS? Cause they were best in taking down convoys and ships that lack Sub devices. Why we recover materials for equipment? Mainly that why so many convoys shipment were lost. Aircraft being important? All the scanning and raids. There's many reasons why this OPS is good and im glad they made it, and yes it may get time to get better on the long run but it gives out rewards for your efforts.
Very helpful guide, damn have I took time figuring out about entering port and swapping out ships! Devs could really add a few more ways to fulfill these important functions :D
I've been told that repair ships heal all fleets (not fleet they're in, ALL fleets) for 10% at the start of each mission. I haven't burned the AP to test it myself. Might be worth including in a bumper fleet if so.
i think you forgot to tell people that repair ships give all fleet 10% heal after clearing a map. and AP replenish using oil is weekly instead of daily
If you use fleet deployment, and didn't change the formation, you can restore all your fleet hp. But in-order to do that, you need to go to the nearest port. I figure it just right now (cost me 89 ap to experimenting) the mechanic same as request recon, first is 0 ap, than the cost rise into 99 ap, and slowly drop into 0
@@AzurLaneMeta that a free repair with no cost if you can exploit it. Grinding with fleet 1(mob fleet) when you need ap to fleet deploy. When it free attack the bosses (usually i died a lot) then retreat to port. Just like "hit and run" tactic, right?.
I have finished all the Ope. Siren stuffs, I do mean all, except the daily quests. The game mode as a whole feels more like a framework that seeks to provide grounds for futures updates. Once you get in a zone, it plays like the campaign excepts with more fleets. Overall, it has a lot of potential but at the moment, it has many small tedious problems. The UI is unnessarily complicated. It should have sticked with a orientation-locked, colored map. All the clickable elements should be bigger so they are more clickable. It should get rid of the 3-tiles-fixed movement system. And, above all, it should play like a strategic game where players can mobilize multiples units in one turn now that we have 4 fleets to command. In the future, I think it makes logical sense to intergrate the campaign with the open map.
Its no perseus, but i Find Unicorn + Bel-Chan to be really nice for healing, I Stick a +10 toolbox and and a +10 Celestial body dress on her, That + Her Skill and High Luck make her a decent off tank, and Healing the entire fleet, Vanguard + Main Fleet for +151 a fight, doesnt seem like a lot, but especially for the back liners really helps give them more longevity, and takes the heat of unicorn a bit.
Repair Ships will also repair your fleet by 10% after the map has been cleared. So I'm thinking of running Tosa, Casablanca and Akashi in the 4th fleet. Using FdG in my moob fleet means I get free barages every 4th, 5th or 6th battle and I also get more AVI+RLD for my Perseus in the mob fleet and for my carrier boss fleet. Although a dedicated anti Light-Armor fleet with Richelieu, Jean Bart, Cascogne, Aurora might also be good? Hopefully you make a full guide video for fleet comps for OS soon. That'd dope.
The man, the myth, the legend, he finally made the vid i was waiting for! There is still some shit about OS i dont understand so thank god u made this vid.
Can you buy or repair your ships on the red ports? Because I have a couple of them unlocked but there is nothing I can do there. Edit: I wrote this halfway through the video but it got answered
Gibraltar is pronounced Jibraltar for future reference. Or at least it is in English. In Spanish if I understand Wikipedia correctly it's closer to Hibraltar.
Hello Meta, thanks for the video. At the end of the day, is there a point in rushing the Operation Siren story? Is there a point in playing it even after you looted 200 ashes coordinates every day? Wish you a merry Christmas
No need to rush. If you do your 200 ashes coordinates a day you should be fine. I rushed for 1) making video early enough for people who needed help and 2) I want to test the new equipments (and rushing means more materials to make them faster).
You should definitely rush Chapter 1 to unlock Ashes Showdown and the 4 fleets. The submarines from Chapter 3 are also super handy (and a nice way to push some XP their way). Aside from that, it seems actually detrimental to rush too much, since only 'un-safe' nodes spawn the augmented sirens that drop coordinates, so you would need to spend a lot of AP getting super-hard zones or grinding lootdrops from supereasy zones for possible drops otherwise.
35:55 when you fight without the officers the chance to get better items increas when you kill big bosses or even multible one you get mostly goldstuff moving only around you mostly only get junk
@@AzurLaneMeta i think i read it in the campagne that the chance increase to find better stuff when fighting.... i mostly skip all but this was crossreaded xD. the level of the Officer and rearity also increases the chance too. but i am not shure if allwayes only the command cat or all cats are get lost. i now only that when i play battles i get often even gold parts but when i do only 1 or no battles its mostly junk. but it can only be luck too.
@@blacktemplar7102 It's random. I usually just move around, pick up boxes and sometimes it'll trigger the "meowfficer found rare loot". Also better meowfficer is better loot.
Which things would u prioritize to get special item tokens?? I'm having trouble to buy all the shop items in 3 days (if I have bad luck I need 900-1200 special item tokens)...
Special Item Tokens are important. Use Akashi and shops to get tokens from coins. With tokens prioritize gold material packs, gold plates, and rainbow/gold special parts.
Does anyone know where I can use the high efficiency combat logistics plan? Meta said main story but I don’t get the option anywhere to use it. I even tried it on the regular main campaign.
Haven't watched the video yet so sorry if it is mentioned but *does OPSI not boost affection?* I haven't seen any of my Ship's Affection rising and I've been playing it pretty often. Feel like the slight improvement I've seen was due to dailies and the occasional 13-4.
The addition of new ships like Shinano. And the addition of the new "hidden CV mechanic". Finally the fact that "Siren Killer" is less effective than previously thought for PR/DR ships because the +11/12/13 bonuses cap with Siren Killer making it less as important.
So my understanding is everything resets, but you can buy items that allow you to unlock certain parts again to where you were before. This wasn't really shown much in the beta or explained much in the game notes. I'll be a little salty ngl if it's a total hard reset in 40 days.
You know, when a fleet moves into a port city, the screen should probably automatically change to the port UI. I mean, why make the person click on an additional (rather inconspicuous) "button"? We all know the reason the person clicked on the port, right? I feel making it automatic would help intuitive control. I mean, the button to enter port can still remain in case someone exits the port UI & wants to reenter w/o needlessly forcing a player to move their fleet out of port & back into port (if the button didn't exist).
@@AzurLaneMeta Yeah, I would agree to that, unless they plan to do something at ports other than visiting them, such as a port coming under attack and you have to fight on the port map.
@@adrianbonski1849 dont stress over the campaign its permanent although hiryuu META is limited shes here for 3 months but the problem is not just getting her you have to farm 60000 pts to fully max her stats
Depends. You should do AT LEAST 200 ashen tokens a day (and the 5 raids). The rest is about your time, experience, and how fast you want the new equipment. We have 30+ days left so you got time.
Perseus, Shinano, Akashi, Richelieu, Jean Bart, Amagi, Unicorn, Ryuuhou, and ANY PR/DR are pretty good. Usually bulky front liners will be better to stand against the constant torture. In my discord server in #meta-discussion-help channel you can send screenshots of your dock for more specialized help.
@@AzurLaneMeta Ok thanks. Probably need to change my fleet a bit, forgot to add a healer. But I can’t even reach NY port, it says to Control surrounding areas, even though tiles around NY port have higher corrosion level than suggested. Any advice please ?
I hope they rotate back to Hirryuu at some point. I completely neglected to play during that time and got her at the last moment. I regret not spending more time.
I'd love to know if its possible to change the fleet formation if you only still have 2 fleets. I'm not happy and took the wrong ships and dont how to change ship formation and swap ships out for other ships
Go to a blue port, look near the navigation system and click "Order", then look for "Fleet Deployment". You can change fleets there for the cost of AP (also it's free after waiting long enough).
You can pop in an out as much as you like. But just farming one zone typically isnt worth the time investment. You want to be using your AP for Strongholds, Loggers, and daily missions. Basically just trying to follow the mysterious map video I have on my channel when not doing the above 3.
What's the most efficient and fastest way to level ships from 100-120? Like certain campaign missions,dorms etc,falling a bit behind on 120 lvl ships xD Merry xmas btw!
Time efficient goes to the highest level you can clear in the main story with the ship you want to level getting MVP (and Flagship if applicable). Place in Floor 1 dorm, use in Dailies/Hard Modes. And then if you have oil left over before bed put in 10 hr commission.
This video is 9 months old. Many updates have changed some information. I keep it up to see the on launch version of OpSi. Here is a playlist of all the OpSi content I've made: ruclips.net/p/PLRmZEeEWCYCAdPaudzipyQdfwg0T-Dp26 I plan to at some point make an abbreviated updated version of this. But that won't even start until at least after the JP anniv or maybe later if they continually update the game mode (I'd like it to be stable before releasing a video that would be outdated shortly after publishing).
Where do I find the NA Ocean Depths A-H zones, I'm only missing them, but I can't find them? Also I cleared the whole story, but I have no missions in the ports, did I miss something?
I think a lot of things are coutnerintuitive and you cant get a lot of info because you are overwhelmed with cut-scenes so I just skip them because it takes forever to clear a map. About the fleet grind - that is not true. Yes about 1/4 of the map (mostly the story line) give 0 xp while the others give arround 300- 500 up to 1500 for MVP+flagship. I think its OK to grind (i use above 100 lvl grind fleet and 3x120). Yes its slow but its faster then dorm + you are there anyway so get XP because you cant grind there and do XP on the main at the same time. Even if you get only 500 , you do on average for casua player arround 100 battles/day (thats 50k free XP ,which is the same as in the Lecture hall for single ship only on max). The only thing I dont like is the puzzle maps. Most take a long time go thrue because you have to move arround in a specific pattern othewise it will reset and that just doesnt give anything to the game. Most people prefer to fight on auto while doing something else ,while this ting needs full atention.
I have an old video that is still somewhat applicable. Although with the CV buff, there are some changes (however you should still get through it with what I provided).
Hi mate, better tell me if You have info regarding Information - Confidential I documents guide for chapter 5 ? [those from archives] - till now I have only 1 - Mysterious I, and wondering if You perhaps hunt for them ? BTW Grate content - keep going mate :)
about Hiryuu, do you get different ammount of the thing that we collect to get Hiryuu META because I play on EN server, which I start early so I have 120 ships and I have more medal/ percentage than on JP server which I only get to level 100. on EN i get 30.33 % and on Jp I only get 29.59 %
I play on jp server and after I get beat by a boss, there are this debuff: Demoralization. Can you do a video about buff and debuff in operation siren ?
The amount of sync you get depends on Hiryuu level and the Hiryuu level of assists... so you probably just found different levels Hiryuu on both accounts.

Like list of examples, why were Submarines going to be important in OPS? Cause they were best in taking down convoys and ships that lack Sub devices. Why we recover materials for equipment? Mainly that why so many convoys shipment were lost. Aircraft being important? All the scanning and raids. There's many reasons why this OPS is good and im glad they made it, and yes it may get time to get better on the long run but it gives out rewards for your efforts.
Not sure if this is a historical reference at all, but maybe.
As someone from Liverpool I can absolutely guarantee that the depiction of Liverpool in game is totally accurate......
Haha, how so?
Everyone: cleared the entire operation
Me: lol tutorial this very hard
Haha, it's not an easy blow through that's for sure.
@@AzurLaneMeta considering the awful grind for meta ships and a limit on location data, why would you even want to?
Very helpful guide, damn have I took time figuring out about entering port and swapping out ships!
Devs could really add a few more ways to fulfill these important functions :D
Glad it was helpful!
Merry Christmas and thank you for working so hard to put this out for us! :)
You're welcome and Merry Christmas!
32:00 Bismark doing stunt jumps over fleets lmao
I don't usually read instructions just tap some buttons. Not yet finish the first port but suddenly transport to 2nd port.i just playing around 😄
Haha this sounds like me.
Thank you so much for the guide, gonna take a while before we can even clear all the node and be able to craft any of the gear in the lab
Glad I could help!
I've been told that repair ships heal all fleets (not fleet they're in, ALL fleets) for 10% at the start of each mission. I haven't burned the AP to test it myself. Might be worth including in a bumper fleet if so.
Yes
And of course we'll see poor Kashino be shafted probably.
i think you forgot to tell people that repair ships give all fleet 10% heal after clearing a map.
and AP replenish using oil is weekly instead of daily
Yes I forgot.
Next meta ship is probably Takao, since we're getting torpedo stat material as last reward for syncronization.
Well I think Ark Royal is the next one, but after her, that is a good guess.
If you use fleet deployment, and didn't change the formation, you can restore all your fleet hp. But in-order to do that, you need to go to the nearest port. I figure it just right now (cost me 89 ap to experimenting) the mechanic same as request recon, first is 0 ap, than the cost rise into 99 ap, and slowly drop into 0
Yes you get a freebie then over time it goes back down to cost 0.
@@AzurLaneMeta that a free repair with no cost if you can exploit it. Grinding with fleet 1(mob fleet) when you need ap to fleet deploy. When it free attack the bosses (usually i died a lot) then retreat to port. Just like "hit and run" tactic, right?.
ALM just dropped that sick burn so casually " if ur too smooth brained..." no fire extinguisher will put that flame out.
Haha, gotta have the smooth delivery.
@@AzurLaneMeta delivery as smoothhhhh as that voiceee ~~
We hit 10k subs. Quite a nice Christmas present in my opinion.
Yes it was.
doing the order fleet deployment heals the fleet to 100% as well
Yep yep
Wow, at 2x speed this guy is still somehow talking slow. Still, good video!
I have finished all the Ope. Siren stuffs, I do mean all, except the daily quests. The game mode as a whole feels more like a framework that seeks to provide grounds for futures updates. Once you get in a zone, it plays like the campaign excepts with more fleets. Overall, it has a lot of potential but at the moment, it has many small tedious problems.
The UI is unnessarily complicated. It should have sticked with a orientation-locked, colored map. All the clickable elements should be bigger so they are more clickable. It should get rid of the 3-tiles-fixed movement system. And, above all, it should play like a strategic game where players can mobilize multiples units in one turn now that we have 4 fleets to command.
In the future, I think it makes logical sense to intergrate the campaign with the open map.
This is a fairly solid and comprehensive review.
Wow!!Very useful.I know nothing to do until I saw this video.Thank you very much!!!
You're welcome!
Its no perseus, but i Find Unicorn + Bel-Chan to be really nice for healing, I Stick a +10 toolbox and and a +10 Celestial body dress on her, That + Her Skill and High Luck make her a decent off tank, and Healing the entire fleet, Vanguard + Main Fleet for +151 a fight, doesnt seem like a lot, but especially for the back liners really helps give them more longevity, and takes the heat of unicorn a bit.
That works!
Thanks for the speedy guide enjoy the rest of the holidays
Thanks, you too!
I dont think you mentioned it, but if you have a support ship in your fleet, all of your fleets will get a 10% heal after each map.
Yes, good thinking, forgot.
Repair Ships will also repair your fleet by 10% after the map has been cleared. So I'm thinking of running Tosa, Casablanca and Akashi in the 4th fleet. Using FdG in my moob fleet means I get free barages every 4th, 5th or 6th battle and I also get more AVI+RLD for my Perseus in the mob fleet and for my carrier boss fleet.
Although a dedicated anti Light-Armor fleet with Richelieu, Jean Bart, Cascogne, Aurora might also be good? Hopefully you make a full guide video for fleet comps for OS soon. That'd dope.
The man, the myth, the legend, he finally made the vid i was waiting for! There is still some shit about OS i dont understand so thank god u made this vid.
Haha, thanks for the compliment.
I can't find the option to use the high efficiency combat logistics plan before starting my sortie...
I wanna know too, if someone know please tell
@@erisaki0207 stage has to be in clear mode, i had to clear the D3 event stage like 10 times before i could use them there
@@nelsonquintero3178 only used in event stages?
@@erisaki0207 Campaign works too, but you have to get the map to clear mode
@@nelsonquintero3178 i got thanks, it doesnt work on chapter 13
You can click the offense, survival, and combat interference box in the boss info screen. It brings up tuning info. Not quite sure how to read it.
Any tips in obtaining the rainbow materials for the rainbow gear?
Can you buy or repair your ships on the red ports? Because I have a couple of them unlocked but there is nothing I can do there.
Edit: I wrote this halfway through the video but it got answered
No worries. Thanks for the watching it through ;)
Gonna ask, will the previous META ships would come back for a rerun? Or is it a one-time availability only???
Not sure yet, my gut tells me they will have a way to get them again in the future, but no news on that yet.
Should I finish Chapter 11-13 or play OpSi?
Gibraltar is pronounced Jibraltar for future reference. Or at least it is in English. In Spanish if I understand Wikipedia correctly it's closer to Hibraltar.
Thanks!
When do you get Port Missions? I completed the campaign today, so is it a daily thing?
Wait a day and you should see them start to show up. It took a day after I finished the campaign for them to start to show.
@@AzurLaneMeta Ok, that’s what I thought. Thanks!
Hello Meta, thanks for the video. At the end of the day, is there a point in rushing the Operation Siren story? Is there a point in playing it even after you looted 200 ashes coordinates every day? Wish you a merry Christmas
No need to rush. If you do your 200 ashes coordinates a day you should be fine. I rushed for 1) making video early enough for people who needed help and 2) I want to test the new equipments (and rushing means more materials to make them faster).
You should definitely rush Chapter 1 to unlock Ashes Showdown and the 4 fleets. The submarines from Chapter 3 are also super handy (and a nice way to push some XP their way). Aside from that, it seems actually detrimental to rush too much, since only 'un-safe' nodes spawn the augmented sirens that drop coordinates, so you would need to spend a lot of AP getting super-hard zones or grinding lootdrops from supereasy zones for possible drops otherwise.
35:55 when you fight without the officers the chance to get better items increas when you kill big bosses or even multible one you get mostly goldstuff moving only around you mostly only get junk
O really? This is something I learned. Was this in the text from TB? Or how did you find this out?
@@AzurLaneMeta i think i read it in the campagne that the chance increase to find better stuff when fighting.... i mostly skip all but this was crossreaded xD.
the level of the Officer and rearity also increases the chance too. but i am not shure if allwayes only the command cat or all cats are get lost. i now only that when i play battles i get often even gold parts but when i do only 1 or no battles its mostly junk. but it can only be luck too.
@@AzurLaneMeta ok i manage to do it again 3 battles + 1 boss and i get gold stuff out of it
@@blacktemplar7102 It's random. I usually just move around, pick up boxes and sometimes it'll trigger the "meowfficer found rare loot". Also better meowfficer is better loot.
Are both officers taken into account or only the highest level/rarity one or only the command cat?
Which things would u prioritize to get special item tokens??
I'm having trouble to buy all the shop items in 3 days (if I have bad luck I need 900-1200 special item tokens)...
Special Item Tokens are important. Use Akashi and shops to get tokens from coins. With tokens prioritize gold material packs, gold plates, and rainbow/gold special parts.
Tyvm mate! I'll try it!
Does anyone know where I can use the high efficiency combat logistics plan? Meta said main story but I don’t get the option anywhere to use it. I even tried it on the regular main campaign.
You have to clear the stage until it reaches safe status,then you'll have a box with "add item" where you can put it in
Thank you
You're welcome
If the enemy has like 10 adaptability, does anything change if I have 15 or 200?
The max benefit you can get from the commander adaptabilities is -30%/-30%/0% (this is debuff towards your fleet)
I’ve been playing for 2yrs and was so lost on operation Siren
Haven't watched the video yet so sorry if it is mentioned but *does OPSI not boost affection?* I haven't seen any of my Ship's Affection rising and I've been playing it pretty often. Feel like the slight improvement I've seen was due to dailies and the occasional 13-4.
No affection/affinity decrease of increase. Watch the video though ;).
@@AzurLaneMeta Oh bummer. Thanks for the clarification and yeah I did afterwards XD
Do you have to unlock the Recon request? I'm on the border, but it says it's not available. Just trying to 100% every map
Any tips on why your fleets is different from your hiryuu raids prep fleets?
The addition of new ships like Shinano. And the addition of the new "hidden CV mechanic". Finally the fact that "Siren Killer" is less effective than previously thought for PR/DR ships because the +11/12/13 bonuses cap with Siren Killer making it less as important.
@@AzurLaneMeta ic, cool. time to kick out all bb's on my dorm now
What happens when OS resets? Do you have to grind out story missions again to unlock everything?
So my understanding is everything resets, but you can buy items that allow you to unlock certain parts again to where you were before. This wasn't really shown much in the beta or explained much in the game notes. I'll be a little salty ngl if it's a total hard reset in 40 days.
You know, when a fleet moves into a port city, the screen should probably automatically change to the port UI. I mean, why make the person click on an additional (rather inconspicuous) "button"? We all know the reason the person clicked on the port, right? I feel making it automatic would help intuitive control. I mean, the button to enter port can still remain in case someone exits the port UI & wants to reenter w/o needlessly forcing a player to move their fleet out of port & back into port (if the button didn't exist).
Ya your ships should spawn in port once you enter a port map tbh.
@@AzurLaneMeta Yeah, I would agree to that, unless they plan to do something at ports other than visiting them, such as a port coming under attack and you have to fight on the port map.
The free-roam map looks beautiful
Yes the texture Atlantic map is pretty sick.
how much should i farm operation siren?
should finish all zones asap?
should only farm untill 200 ashen tokens?
should farm as much as possible?
Play it as long as you're having fun doing so. This time sink isn't worth a bunch of stress or anything.
i meant whats the most efficient strategy, do we lack AP after finishing tutorial etc. just want stonks
@@adrianbonski1849 dont stress over the campaign its permanent although hiryuu META is limited shes here for 3 months but the problem is not just getting her you have to farm 60000 pts to fully max her stats
Depends. You should do AT LEAST 200 ashen tokens a day (and the 5 raids). The rest is about your time, experience, and how fast you want the new equipment. We have 30+ days left so you got time.
Merry Christmas Azur Lane Meta! Thanks for the tips as always and keep up the Good Work! 😊
Thanks, you too!
What ships should i use on my fleets?
Spamming destroyers doesn't work :(
Perseus, Shinano, Akashi, Richelieu, Jean Bart, Amagi, Unicorn, Ryuuhou, and ANY PR/DR are pretty good. Usually bulky front liners will be better to stand against the constant torture. In my discord server in #meta-discussion-help channel you can send screenshots of your dock for more specialized help.
THANKS FOR THE HARD WORK BUDDY! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thank you
How many lv120 ships should you own before starting this event ?
You probably only need 12 110+ ships.
@@AzurLaneMeta Ok thanks. Probably need to change my fleet a bit, forgot to add a healer.
But I can’t even reach NY port, it says to Control surrounding areas, even though tiles around NY port have higher corrosion level than suggested. Any advice please ?
I just started with operation siren. How do I add new fleets?
So how do I find the shop? You just said "here in ports" at 26:35. I don't know where that is
Bold of you to assume i even have one 457 gun
It applies to any weapon, the 457mm being one of the rarest weapons in the game, I used as an example.
you can scan the shiny points and the game tells you if they are ambush or drops
Thanks for the tip.
I hope they rotate back to Hirryuu at some point. I completely neglected to play during that time and got her at the last moment. I regret not spending more time.
I'm sure they will, but it will probably be a LONG time.
so if you choose a bad team at the start then you are screwed? or is there anyway to re make your teams
10:10
@@AzurLaneMeta i see thanks, thought that only gave u choice between the fleets u chose at the start
I'd love to know if its possible to change the fleet formation if you only still have 2 fleets. I'm not happy and took the wrong ships and dont how to change ship formation and swap ships out for other ships
Go to a blue port, look near the navigation system and click "Order", then look for "Fleet Deployment". You can change fleets there for the cost of AP (also it's free after waiting long enough).
how many days does it take to reset 1 zone/tile? i mean so i could farm ashes coordinates from that zone again.
You can pop in an out as much as you like. But just farming one zone typically isnt worth the time investment. You want to be using your AP for Strongholds, Loggers, and daily missions. Basically just trying to follow the mysterious map video I have on my channel when not doing the above 3.
What's the most efficient and fastest way to level ships from 100-120? Like certain campaign missions,dorms etc,falling a bit behind on 120 lvl ships xD Merry xmas btw!
Time efficient goes to the highest level you can clear in the main story with the ship you want to level getting MVP (and Flagship if applicable). Place in Floor 1 dorm, use in Dailies/Hard Modes. And then if you have oil left over before bed put in 10 hr commission.
Is this up to date, or should I find a more recent vid to follow?
This video is 9 months old. Many updates have changed some information. I keep it up to see the on launch version of OpSi. Here is a playlist of all the OpSi content I've made: ruclips.net/p/PLRmZEeEWCYCAdPaudzipyQdfwg0T-Dp26
I plan to at some point make an abbreviated updated version of this. But that won't even start until at least after the JP anniv or maybe later if they continually update the game mode (I'd like it to be stable before releasing a video that would be outdated shortly after publishing).
@@AzurLaneMeta OK thanks for the reply
is the buffs from adaptive tuning buff permanently?
Kinda, at least until reset, which is a ways off. Not sure how they carry over mechanic will work yet.
Where do I find the NA Ocean Depths A-H zones, I'm only missing them, but I can't find them? Also I cleared the whole story, but I have no missions in the ports, did I miss something?
What is the function of R3 Coordinate Logger?,when i use it on map with corrosion level 3,nothing happen.
I think a lot of things are coutnerintuitive and you cant get a lot of info because you are overwhelmed with cut-scenes so I just skip them because it takes forever to clear a map.
About the fleet grind - that is not true. Yes about 1/4 of the map (mostly the story line) give 0 xp while the others give arround 300- 500 up to 1500 for MVP+flagship. I think its OK to grind (i use above 100 lvl grind fleet and 3x120). Yes its slow but its faster then dorm + you are there anyway so get XP because you cant grind there and do XP on the main at the same time. Even if you get only 500 , you do on average for casua player arround 100 battles/day (thats 50k free XP ,which is the same as in the Lecture hall for single ship only on max).
The only thing I dont like is the puzzle maps. Most take a long time go thrue because you have to move arround in a specific pattern othewise it will reset and that just doesnt give anything to the game. Most people prefer to fight on auto while doing something else ,while this ting needs full atention.
Ya my full 8 hour livestream was me just skipping cut scenes and rolling with it.
Merry christmas azurlane meta.👌👌👌
Same to you!
please make a video about the good comps for OPsi normal zones & other zones
6 fleet lineup seems pretty difficult to build
I have an old video that is still somewhat applicable. Although with the CV buff, there are some changes (however you should still get through it with what I provided).

Hi mate, better tell me if You have info regarding Information - Confidential I documents guide for chapter 5 ? [those from archives] - till now I have only 1 - Mysterious I, and wondering if You perhaps hunt for them ? BTW Grate content - keep going mate :)
about Hiryuu, do you get different ammount of the thing that we collect to get Hiryuu META because I play on EN server, which I start early so I have 120 ships and I have more medal/ percentage than on JP server which I only get to level 100. on EN i get 30.33 % and on Jp I only get 29.59 %
I play on jp server and after I get beat by a boss, there are this debuff: Demoralization. Can you do a video about buff and debuff in operation siren ?
The amount of sync you get depends on Hiryuu level and the Hiryuu level of assists... so you probably just found different levels Hiryuu on both accounts.
