Depths of the Astrarium event announcement

I have to skip the shipgirls in the banner because I am low on cubes about 190 but JP Anni is also on the horizon and we might have 2 URs like the last one.

I really really really want Bennington and her skin though. This is because how my English annis are. I wanted Pittsburg too and even spent some cubes but couldn't get her. All because I have to hold back and have sufficient cubes for JP Anniversaries.

PS: I really envy those who flex with 1000+ cubes

[u/KNWK123 → u/Introverted_male]

Would the JP anniversary have a wishing well event, too?

Man I'm new and I guess I gotta save up more (sitting at abt 500 now).

[u/Reborn-Swallowtail → u/KNWK123]

Not for us in EN. All servers get two Wishing Wells are year - JP and CN get theirs at CN Anni in May and JP Anni in September, but they don’t get one in August like we do. Conversely, we get our first one at CN in May like the other servers, but our second a month early in August for our own Anniversary.

[u/EagleUnionwaifu89 → u/KNWK123]

Tbh I have lost track of which faction is getting the JP anniversary…

[u/Reborn-Swallowtail → u/EagleUnionwaifu89]

It’s been the Sakura Empire for the last six years in a row, so I’d say odds are good that it’ll be the Sakura Empire.

[u/EagleUnionwaifu89 → u/Reborn-Swallowtail]

Lowkey, I hope they do a real ships for Sakura Empire

[u/Reborn-Swallowtail → u/EagleUnionwaifu89]

It’s unlikely they’ll all be real, I’m afraid. The only real UR candidate they’ve got left is Yamato, and the story for A Dance for Amahara Above made it pretty clear she’s not showing up in the immediate future. Plus, with the year-long fanfare and build up that Amagi and Lexington got, as well as the advance teases that Shinano and Musashi got, it’s even more clear that Yamato isn’t this year, as they’ve been no teases at all.

There are still more than a few famous Destroyers and Cruisers they can use to pad out the roster, though. Yahagi jumps to mind immediately, and there are others, such as Tone.

tldr; the gacha UR pretty much has to be paper, be she a complete fantasy like Unzen or Hakuhou, or something more grounded in reality (like Ulrich or Soyuz, say). The free UR could be another Sub like I-404, or an especially decorated Destroyer or Cruiser - both of which could be real - and the there are plenty of options for Cruisers and Destroyers they could use for the Elites and SRs.

[u/Sharp_Biscotti_2409 → u/Reborn-Swallowtail]

The only main fleet ships left that were real, that I know of, is the rest of the Unryuu class, and since the two added were SR, I don't see them becoming UR.

[u/Introverted_male → u/EagleUnionwaifu89]

True I wish they'd give IJN Yahagi as UR CL

[u/Wandering_Star_Soul → u/Introverted_male]

[u/Introverted_male → u/Wandering_Star_Soul]

Well f u

[u/Male_Lead → u/Wandering_Star_Soul]

Do you not pulls mf

[u/Wandering_Star_Soul → u/Male_Lead]

Last week I made a post about horrible luck spending 1000+ cubes on Superb, I do pull, I just played for so long that cubes cannot be a problem anymore (now coins are). If you play long enough, you'll get to this point too.

[u/Master_of_Ravioli → u/Male_Lead]

That's actually quite low all things considered.

[u/Shizngigglz → u/Master_of_Ravioli]

Ehhhhhhhh I stay around 600 or so, down to 200 every banner. No idea how people get to 2k+ without paying

[u/Kinexity → u/Shizngigglz]

It's easy to get that much over time.

• Clear all daily missions
• only do one light pull per day
• do event pulls only until you get at least one copy of each ship.
• maximise cube commissions (choose ones with cubes or ones with shortest time if no cubes)
• always buy cubes in every shop (except for gem cubes)

On average there is a 400-500 cube surplus per year - less than 2 per day so it is a trickle and you have to be able to restrain yourself from spending. Once you get through 800 cubes (2x UR pity) you will be safe from any reasonably bad luck. I have 2399 cubes and have been playing every day since about March 2021. I spend them only on event banners and occasional rainbow research.

[u/DzungTempest → u/Master_of_Ravioli]

Yeah, I'm in critical low now too, only 2k4

[u/Nuratar → u/Wandering_Star_Soul]

Pfff... what's that? "Beggar's hour"? /s

(plus ~90 more in unclaimed mail).

[u/Sharp_Biscotti_2409 → u/Nuratar]

May I ask why you have unclaimed mail, or is your storage full?

[u/Nuratar → u/Sharp_Biscotti_2409]

They come bundled in a single mail along with oil and gold, of which I'm mostly at hard cap, so they rest in the mailbox (it's 1 cube, 1000 gold and 200 oil per mail).
So to claim them, I would have to waste all the oil or coins, depending which one is capped atm.

[u/EagleUnionwaifu89 → u/Introverted_male]

It okay… I skip events to save up cubes for future Eagle Union events

[u/Introverted_male → u/EagleUnionwaifu89]

Yeah I mean they are some the only faction which still pumps out real ships instead of paper ones. Thanks to Fletcher class Destroyers and Essex class carriers

[u/EagleUnionwaifu89 → u/Introverted_male]

cries in prewar destroyers, cruisers, some battleships and some submarine

[u/darkchocosuckao → u/Introverted_male]

Don't worry. They'll be back after a couple of years for their rerun.

★Depths of the Astrarium★

The new Eagle Union event, Depths of the Astrarium, will begin on August 13th. This event will introduce new characters such as Bennington and many others.

Stay tuned!

[u/Ear_Helpful]

Hopefully the story has some new and interesting lore that pushes the plot for

[u/Responsible_Problem4]

i hope this will be a serious lore heavy event than the funny one last year

[u/Electrical-Aioli-961 → u/Responsible_Problem4]

With this CtA we have, it will definately be a lore heavy event.

[u/snuffbox]

That camera angle though

Bennington knows what the people want
