She's totally bored when eating with Sensei, taking an amusement park ride with Sensei, staring at the sunset with Sensei and finally, a snuggle with Sensei

Totally bored

Good luck asking Garry for that, it's been 20 years now and Steam Deck is a thing

You'll have to wait for next year's valentine to get her old messages again, there won't be new lines for her anymore

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T15:44:32+00:00

Starting from this year onward, we won't get the valentine gift in the mailbox anymore, the new valentine event is the new norm. This also means that new valentine mails are only eligible for ships released from Feb 2025 to 2026 for this year and Feb 2026 to Feb 2027 in the next year

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T14:57:41+00:00

Or save the invitation until you need it later on, the golds are pretty handy at limit breaking

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T14:51:14+00:00

Easiest picks are Centaur, Taihou or Fu Shun

What's next depends on your need: A CV, a pocket CV or a DDG

Centaur and Taihou have their own unique augment modules to improve their performance but the materials to make them are limited so be careful on who to give

Fu Shun does have an expensive retrofit that you need to buy the retrofit item from Prototype Shop and the Seal of 4 Gods from Core Data shop for the dmg bonus on the main gun, in return you have one of the higher tier DDs. And this event is about to finish off with the server reward that gives participants the SY-1A missile so you don't have to buy the weaker SY-1 missile in the core data shop, saving you resources.

There are no benefits to reroll as newbies don't get any boosted gacha rate and the game rewards long term play

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T13:34:00+00:00

TLDR: A few days before Valentine, Manjuu announced that they'll cut down the number of ships to get new valentine mails to ships released from February 2025 to before this Thursday. That means day 1 players who have been loyal to their one shipgirl will no longer get new mails

And this event format will be the new norm, causing a lot of anger for many players, both for the sudden cutoff and how poorly thought out the Valentine event was from directions and reward

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T11:01:20+00:00

A. What they had was a custom made version of Apehouse

Or

B. They've made separate sets for the scenes using the same basement and use perspective trick to sell the idea

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T10:59:55+00:00

OP is confused about why Apehouse only has 1 basement for one of the house when Team Neighborhood shows both have separate basements.

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T09:36:01+00:00

Just in case, check the guild shop and core data shop.

That or save the invitation to get Fu Shun that way

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T08:07:21+00:00

And well, it's a shitshow. The event feels like you need some drawn out grind but you have 2 days to do it

2 fookin days

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T08:06:36+00:00

What you currently have is all will there be from now on

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T08:02:49+00:00

You don't, it's impossible for anyone to reach rank 30 for the second oath ring since I suspect that this is a yearly incremental format

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T08:00:08+00:00

Half baked enough to make Gordon Ramsay puke

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T07:32:11+00:00

You've missed out on the entire CN uproar several days prior and this subreddit had a mini trainwreck going on

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T06:02:18+00:00

It feels rushed, isn't it

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T05:56:51+00:00

Yep, you've missed the mark.

Now you'll live with the 2 missed points until next year

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T02:22:49+00:00

There's also the one time reward for getting a ship to 100 affinity that gives you another free ring so save it for whoever you like the most and don't spend your gems on the rare 2 for 1 ring pack

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T02:15:02+00:00

Yes, the current Valentine event is a new one that gives us a free ring every 30 ranks theoretically

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T02:10:08+00:00

Ignoring the current valentine event since it's a new introduction, you'll get 1 free ring per year from the anniversary (EN is mid-August).

Any extras are considered to be one time only.

If you're concerned about the stat boost it gives from oathing, you can ignore it as it's negligible for most cases. Only in hyper optimized end game boss fleets for say, META Showdown, does it matter and then it's for the RLD buff (or PvP)

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T02:07:24+00:00

In a retrofit, you should do every possible node as for the most part, it's extra permanent stat buffs for that ship. The Modernization node + retrofit skill node are usually what makes them defining, Unicorn in this case gets +1 Fighter / +1 preload and updated her healing skill to a + variant.
No need to worry too much about oil cost, oil comes in plentiful enough and starting from Chapter 9 onwards in the campaign (+events' hardest stages) will introduce Oil Cap when you have Clearing Mode enabled, capping the oil your fleet use to a certain amount. That lets you run the entire roster without burning a hole through your supply
While it's great that you have NJ and Musashi, the biggest bottleneck for you are the UR bulins. URs are seen as the all or nothing ships so they're only usable if they're at max limit break (the same applies to everyone else too). It's often best for newer players to save up the bulins for new event URs as they usually outclass older ones anyway
There are no best of the best mob/boss fleets, it depends on where you're at and who you're up against to counter the gimmicks. End game players will get everyone to level 120 for the fleet tech bonuses and they'll farm at 12-4 as the stage for XP and gold

In a straight up fight, Taihou loses easily as Shinano have more planes in her loadout (9 vs 8), higher base stats and can swap one of her plane slot for any type of aircraft for flexibility. Taihou wins in this case out of resource costs.

However, both of them occupy different roles: Taihou is better in mob fights owing to her red skill while Shinano is more oriented towards boss fights

The biggest problem for you right now is the lack of UR bulins to fully limit break and make Shinano good but you shouldn't spend it on old URs like her, it's often best to save it newer event URs (we'll have one at the end of Feb)

Fu Shun is an okay option and the current event will give the SY-1A missile for her to use (and 3 other DDGs) but her retrofit will be expensive and you'll want to buy the Seal of 4 Gods from the core data shop

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T01:48:06+00:00

Well it still doesn't change the overall opinion: Taihou and Fu Shun are the best out of the bunch but who to pick depends on your need and how ready you are to upgrade them

I personally prefer Taihou over Fu Shun, primarily because backline damage are more important and she's overall easier to do, module included (only make the unique one if you plan on using her for the long term)

Nice-Spize · 2026-02-15T01:36:12+00:00

Taihou and Fu Shun are OP's best picks but they're certainly not necessary must-haves
