U-47 will replace U-522 in the "meta" wolfpack fleets, once we get her
like all of the other saru people have looked 'x' way and she looks so different
U-47 + U-81 + U-101 = the meta sub fleet in CN/JP
what about the strong ijn subs
I think that IJN sub fleet is a close second, but wolfpack buffs are pretty hard to ignore
i only have 1 gold torp
i did a bit of grinding on release
but stopped when pr's came out
Remember, gold G7e torp best
Fair lol

are they urs rei

I do play AL here n there
he likes posting SS so u never know
and I keep dying
might b playing in secret

rei's arnt supposed to be playing w/ shipgirls
AL 
.
.

Lol. Dont play with fireworks kids. You'll lose your head. c;
rei we should play
nice
i saw an opportunity and i seized it lol

I
Don't disagree....
But then again poor rowlet has to exist in the same game as op protean froakie
Wouldn't call Protean Greninja OP, it has some very exploitable flaws. It is very good though
It was strong enough to get stuffed into ubers :A

It aint uber anymore
oh, haven't been keepin up
dropped to OU with SM meta
so did mega mawile
mega metagross ended up in ubers instead...
Ash-Greninja is the preferred pick over Protean Greninja
Protean still usable, but the reduced stats sting
i did use ash greninja for a bit on rain team and wew
And ofc Greninja in general is frail af, so keeping it alive for long is a challenge
mmhmm
The usage tips for Protean Greninja on Smogon suggest trying to bluff it as Ash Greninja, since the two have different matchups, and Protean has some favorable responses to standard Ash checks
how bout tpose
🚮

Is ashes GN really good
I’ve been out of PKMN comp for a long ass while.
Talking like 2 years.


sun rays make everything much more beautiful
I have z46
but I dont know where to place the scroll
I do not have much room on my walls to begin with
doesn't sunlight damage wall scrolls?
ive no idea
but its not like my blinds are opened all hours of the day
theyre more closed than open due to privacy issues
people walk past my apartment all the time and can see my whole room, plus me at the computer just looking at them 
it is creepy but it happens 
we've asked the landlord many times to discourage people from walking past there
and we say they use it as a dog potty 
because they do, I see piles of dog poo everywhere
and the landlord is super uptight about using our designated dog area
i shouldve had someone get me the ayanami scroll from ax
jealous of kawaa's scrolls
because we have a literal area meant for dogs using the restroom, and you get fined here if you dont use it
I dont have ayanami anyways its ok 
yea but i shouldve paid someone to get one for me lmao
@last kiln

definitely not a metaslave

one of these is not like the others
sun bleaching is a thing
I know that
🍏
🍍
I did not get any headpats at ax

Gloof
two pats for kawaa since no one gave her any headpats at AX (what monsters
)

a kawa pat for kawaa
i think i can imagine the face you made, cuz im pretty sure i made a similar one
it was like
but also kind of like
with a bit of
but my eyebrows are neutral
bOnk


I dont have her emotes 

its like her smug face
what happen
the second one no doubt
yeah like the 2nd one 
@wintry sonnet: what is your IGN? Aquan Cedamax?
it is, why?
hrmmm i think i fought you in pvp the other day 

Just fought against you @wintry sonnet
You set a meme defensive fleet btw
Also I fought against @stuck copper, he set a full HMS Fleet
really?
Thanks for letting me know
I would've never found out that I set a meme defense fleet 
The best one I've seen is Javelin named Bulbasaur
It's legitimately clever
reeeeeeee
You don't have any "core" lvl.120 ship?
no, i mean that all my current opponents are under my rank
I could wipe then fairly easily, but i ain't eating no +9s
Look what just came in
Whatever

As if PvP matters to me in the first place
i need muh merits
I am content with all I got 
Since there are limits I can't do anything about
Still, thanks Aquan for giving me easy win
As for Razzles, well, he surely gave me hard time, since my level 120 ships don't synergize with each other
My rank is bad since I only do PvP irregularly
i'm memeing this season
This week's defense fleet theme is "big hair ribbons"
trying to get aotn without fighting a single hiryuu comp
managed to do it so far by keeping out of sandbag central
I've been trying to stick with meme offense, too. The current theme is "mediocre IJN" where I build a stock IJN backbone but then use nonmeta ships to fill out the rest of the team
E.g. Naka instead of Jintsuu and Souryuu instead of Hiryuu
It's fun to see what I can and can't roll over with this fleet
My meme fleet is a group of blonde girls
The most dangerous ones are Carol and Hood (they are level 120 at 200 affection)
The only hazard on my defense team right now is the 120:200 Saratoga
Should be easily beatable

how dreadful. Which one was it, so I will know to avert my eyes?
oho
given you messaged below it, I assume you already did
its fun knowing who it is in #server-news 
too bad leona always takes like 8 years to read my dms 


leona is pretty
ur pretty
urmompretty
she is prettyyy
now I have 2 of each ! 
good!*
that looks really long
disagree...
or is it narrow?
once its in a pillow its dimensions should look usual?
that pillowcase is longer than me 
nice
you have to be tall shikikan to be able to handle both of them at once
its fine im ~197
good thing I dont like body pillows 
i believe im tol enough
yet you held uni chan
and i got enough height to bonk kawa


still wonder how are the chances they drop centaur next updoot
Oho
Degen lolicon
keripo and I planned it 
while im not a fan of body pillows, I thought it would be funny

it prob still too lewd for her
yeah probs

I actually saw that at shamoe’s booth and I pointed it out and laughed
I was with some people from here at that time 
I did avoid looking at the booth and the pillows though
the booth just had a bunch of pillows on it
Rei pls
ender pls
im scared of any and all kinds of humans irl
only reason I can interact with em online is that I dont have to directly see em

A potato wedge I guess
so thicc
Hot
even ender himself didnt know he's so thicc
lol
oh no
my dog stepped on smth and idk what it was but hes like
trying to keep his paw off the ground and limped all the way home
nice
ur nice
i shouldve bought the body pillow pillow at the shamoe booth lmfao
@dense wing Btw the names aren't completely random

Razzles
Why did you name Leander "Lena"?
you cant spell leander without lena idk
It's an anagram
Ri-an-da?
Leander
Change the position of the letters
Lena
so where did "der" go

It was thrown to the void

sending letters to the shadow realm smh

Didn't expect btw you to battle my fleet
Also Alberta for example
Is a reference to the actual name of KGV himself

Well it was a tough fight though
I'm glad my fleet can do work
Since my level 120 ships have ZERO synergy
It'll be much harder once Spite has kai
With each other

Oh btw Dork is there because I'm using pvp to finish leveling her
If I had Nakaga 120@200, I would finish the battle sooner
Meta fleets

Your Dork won't gain any exp from being in defensive fleet though
Oh I know
I just put her there because generally
Atm
She's better than QE I'd imagine
Despite QE being 1 level higher
Well, my fleet is designed to counter Akaga with North Carolina + Amagi
Honestly
My fleet destroys akaga
But haven't fought a lot of them lately
The only thing it has issues with now
Is Naga / Amagi / Hiry comps
But that will be solved post Kai
Warspite Kai will be a long long time
Yeah sadly so
Don't know when we will be having her
I'm also making a CV fleet
I don't even know what I am doing anymore
Lol
There are so many ships I want to level to 120
Current progress
Me now: just look at my profile picture

Like a newbie struggling at Sekiro
But yeah that's the fleet I'm working on
I plan to use QE alongside them
I am currently farming for Ibuki, so I reactivated Takao and Mogami
Let them have some exp
Well once I finish this
Then I'll work on USS probably
jesus christ i feel like a baboon
For Saint Louis?
Partially for saint
But because I also have USS shit I need to level too
Then probably IJN
Then KMS
USS I have Cleveland, Enterprise and North Carolina at 120 atm
None of mine are at 120 atm
Because well
As you've noticed
Does honolulu drop from boss only or mob fleet?
With the above image

What a man of culture, training Vicky

I think Lulu boss node only, or so?
She's a personal favourite of mine
/wiki Honolulu
From what I'm reading
No
Any node
Yes I was mistaken

Well but world 11 is so tempting right now
But yeah Vicky is a personal favourite bote of mine so there's no reason to not max her

Every mvp gives Washington around 3k5 exp per battle
Honolulu has great personal questt
Also, tell Vicky to bomb Tirpitz's room
o thanks

I mean
Why wouldn't I max this beauty out

I have her but no skin for her
Cos I was poor af
I had to get the skin

Like it was crucial

thanks for the help

Vicky has so slow reload
She's about 170+ on oath
Still need to fix that part
Maybe even slower than Lusty
It's part of why I want
The new shit to come
For core data
4% lower cd on airstrikes is huge
Sure she might lose some Avi
Which item?
Homing Beacon
Like 4%
Just for reference
On a 25 sec cd
Makes it 24 secs
Just by having it
Like it knocks like a whole second off
Then there's the fact I use QE too
Losing around 40 avi isn't a great deal anyway
Exactly
Like the fact both of those CV's
Are heavy armour
Is a huge advantage for slower speed
If the enemy didn't fire AP shells just like Iris event, that is
Well yeah but in Vicky's case
She nerfs all shelling by 20% anyway
Not for Lusty though
Sadly not for Lusty

I wish they give her a skill like Vicky's for Lusty
That would be nice yeah
Since you can tell
That Lusty is extremely dated
Btw Nep will be 200 oath today I imagine
Monarch is 188
Nep? Which nep?
Hms



Once they're both 200 I'll probably just comm them for levels
Since after that I won't need to battle with them per say
While I still need to work on Lusty and Vicky's oaths to 200

My Lusty is at 200 long ago
Got to be a true waifu collector and max them oaths
Since she was my first girl I ringed
Well the main reason mine aren't
Is because most of my HMS
Are 200 oath
I even made a video for her

If I recall
Without mvp
Two of my Azur Lane videos (previous four, but I deleted two due to not feeling content with its quality)
It's like 2400 battles
From 50-200
And 1200 with all mvps
So about 240 - 480 map clears
It is not easy to gain mvp with such slow reload
With 5 nodes
Give or take
Per bote that you do this with
So it's a lot
Doesn't help
That CV's can't defend themselves from suicune botes

Not with Graf
She can deal with jihad botes
Well
Zeppy
Saratoga / Lex can also to some extent
Depending on timing
10s per barrage is still a bit slow
And those guns are CA guns
Yeah but it does definitely help when it times right
And it just splatters them
you dont get jihads at you ever 2 seconds and also if your vanguard doesnt deal with atleast some of them your vanguard just sucks ass 
Exactly
So it's nice
It is the case with auto battle
Sometimes your vanguards suck
Auto battle sadly vanguard is a weird one
even in auto and with a solo dd I've had enough cases of the jihad being dealt with
specifically by crashing

World 11, those botes have surprisingly large HP pool for a suicide unit
good thing javelin doesnt give a fuck and evades their explosion
Ramming can be evaded?
crash with a bote full of explosives
dont give a fuck cause somehow you can evade it
not ramming itself, but their explosion is its own damage counter i believe
Oh yeah speaking of Nep
Lol
Nep nep
It is strange to see your ship not taking damage after crashing with bomb botes
I mean, fire and ramming usually ignore evasion stat
Today just going to go cube comms
Give me all the cubes game

My cubes haven't restored yet
I'm at 137
I need more
At 74 atm
if we're counting mails i think im at 74 too
That's why atm
nvm
Screw oil / decor comms
I need the cubes more

70
lel
Relying on those commissions is doomed to fail
Actually
I've gotten plenty of cubes from them
Surprisingly
Also these are ones from last night anyway
I mean, their reliability is even lower than normal daily commission
I still do the normal comms
8 hours
You get nothing
Lmao
Tbf getting + oil is only a thing if you really need it anyway
Since atm most of my grind is comm based exp
120 is a chore after all
I just let the game auto pick girls for commission anyway
Well I manually choose for 10 hour comms

Because I have certain things I want to level atm
- coins
Yes, except that commission
London 77 atm

being selective bout commissions when you can do em all 
Oh I do them all normally
I just run that specific one for levels and the coins
Since not gonna lie
London so far has made a big hole in my coin
was referring to your earlier statement
Oh right
bout focusing on cube commis or sth
Well the cube ones
2 were the ones after you finish your normal ones
1 was the actual late night ones
Btw I just need 8 more levels
For her modernize

Good thing I didn't scrap her
Still keep a level 74 atm
scrapped her lonk ago
if I ever reinstall I gotta go farm for her 
surprise maid
Ikr
I was like
"How is this in any way london?"
The design is completely different
apparently even irl her refit did 'drastically' change her
From March 1939 she was under reconstruction at the Chatham Dockyard, and was much altered in appearance. Replacement of her machinery was considered, but later abandoned. She was given a new superstructure above the main deck and in many ways resembled a Crown Colony-class light cruiser
ya is the highest of all cl/as
It's like

I've heard she also keeps base torps too
Which is just even funnier
the only people that seem to lose ability to use stuff would be refits that change classes
like BBs to BBVs and mogami
basically older designs
Tbf though
Having a free torp still
Is a nice bit of free damage
For a DD gun like that
And CA gun
With dual damage at times

She's basically the epitome
Of a DPS bote
I mean it's already been confirmed that like
DD
Are the highest DPS guns in game
Hence why sandy uses it despite having CL guns as an option
Or literally any CL / DD gun capable bote
Funny thing is though Rei
160% eff
Is basically 2.5x that of porkland
So in itself
It's sgm +1.5

CL guns are trash
Sadly they are super garbage
but CA guns arnt really pushovers
problem is their targetting is wonky
CA guns suffer from one thing though
That
sucks on auto
All their damage is basically relying on overpenetration
So when there isn't multiple targets
It makes clearing slow asf
Im fine with CA guns cuz i dont look at the screen much and when i look I see that S rank
meaning they are doing their job

Lol
But yeah she basically is what ever CA dreams of
but the only AL is apex legends

Has the best secondary gun of all CA's
Meaning she has the easiest time clearing mobs
For her big gun to do work
overpenetration

Not to mention her FP even at base due to her own ability
most people try to run HE guns on their CAs tho right
Is like almost 300
HE guns are generally better for bossing
With CA
it's just that gold eugen guns are bountiful
i indefinitely like AP unless if its a low armor boss
Yeah
AP is just too good on mobs
AP is generally the best for CA's
killing few enemies with 1 set of hits
Unless bosses since burn damage

Burn damage is invaluable on bosses after all
i mean, the BBs handle that
Due to their extreme HP pools

Yeah
Exactly
So for the most part
AP is generally the go to
Unless you really need to squeeze out more damage

Like Rei said
When you fire like 2 salvos
And you see 2 mobs instantly get rekt
It's funny

if your CA's are already one shotting mobs tho
the enemies are probably low level light armor units to begin w/
wouldnt the low fire rate of the AP guns be bad then
That's why with a bote like London
Having the secondary she does is invaluable
Since that can easily murder anything without heavy armour easily
Since AP is generally more damage against higher on a per hit basis
Most of HE's benefit comes from the burn damage
Most mobs don't last long enough for it to really do anything though
time to get less than three t3 books. shitty book stash below
my last few days have been hell
barely can level anything
thank god some of the new subs eat blues and yellows
five t3 books today. only one was a red
clicked SOS three times: 10, 9, 8

fuck you, game
at least it can't get any worse
DON'T SAY THAT

You'll jinx it
wouldn't that be something?
meh, whatever... guess i'll do fewer choukai runs. not like she'd drop anyway.
Btw
What world is it
That unlocks gold prints

For subs
i don't remember
9
Isn't in 10?
/subs
Underwater Vessels Classified as Boats and its Counters
aka Submarines and Anti-Submarine Warfare 101
there's this level that goes up. shouldn't it be tied to that?
i mean my memory is shite but far as I remember people said you needed to beat 9 to unlock em and 10 was just flavor without the grey shit
but could be wrong ofc
no they not Yama
get signal level 8 and they unlock for all maps

i just got a gold torp print from 4-5
Basically from my understanding
Unlock them = gold everywhere
mhm
Ye
Purple-rarity equipment is unlocked on Signal Sensitivity 6.
Gold-rarity equipment is unlocked on Signal Sensitivity 8.```


"10-5 will not drop any White-rarity equipment drops."
There
dang
did 4-5 again, got the same gold torp bp
what are the odds? lol
luccsacc
well, the game's gotta give me something to keep me hooked
kinda frustrating when you want that purple depth charge
lol
lul
that thing is super fucking good
boss subs be like 
Farming for subs is so meaningless
One blueprint per run
well they'll be looking past the purple depth charge
When can I even get a gold bp for asw tools?

and see this monster
Not even a single purple
are u at signal 8?
Chaser is a great waifu
Yes I expended all my signal as for now
farming sub gear is a marathon. you get used to the shit pace lmao
I'd say farming for Jintsuu is much more meaningful
I mean, I can get exp and such
i only do my sos once i reach 8 charges, because i have to shift my gear around for that, and i don't want to do it every single day
I think I can feel glad now that I have time to train my Chaser
you get exp and such in sos too
I won't go to 10-5 Rei
and the rumors which i dont really care bout say boss node only botes got higher droprates 
And even if I do, there is no guarantee that I can get a valuable asw blueprint
your loss /shrug
I expended all my signals
doesnt matter to me if you do it or not
And without getting anything valuable
Every signal takes 8 hours to recover, right?
worst situation yes
you can get 1 every 30 mins
not exactly a high chance
the 8hr will reset if you get 1 at the 30 min intervals
there isn't much time left before the next event
Less than a week or so, if the maintenance takes place in every Thursday
likely
And you can do sub daily raid twice per week
I mean, TWICE PER WEEK
a week isn't really anything when it comes to subs
I'll eat my hat if the boss isnt doable with just blue asw gear

I'll stream eating the hat on twitch
normal mode should be trivial
Show us the clip when that happens Rei
not so sure about hard
sure bb
they're pretty irrelevant 
But they can screw your vanguard before you could do anything to sub
not really
Since the equipment must now be specialized against subs
and if the boss has behaviour like normal bosses, even if your botes suck ass you can still wait it out and get an A
So you lose toolbox or so
if your vanguard is massively underleveled maybe
you remove aux for that
and you have to use DD and CLs, which means no impact on survivability for CAs
but no, you need to screwup massively for them to kill you before you kill the sub
javelin can solo w10 sos front with her own hp and with 2 asw gear
worst case, you bring unicorn

I'm using Nimi, Koln and some other DD for SOS boss fleets
I'd also eat my hat if the event was harder than w10 sos
none of them are 110 iirc
@stuck copper how about Shouhou? 
and have no problem doing W10 SOS
specially since there will 99% sure be danger level

yeah, that's what i was thinking. it can't possibly be harder than w10
especially since ye, SOS missions don't have threat level
event will almost certainly
I can do w10 fine, but with a lot of oil cost
I just need to have non-shit mob fleet for W10
And I'm too lazy to switch it
So I don't do W10

I bring full stack fleet to deal with w10 mob fleets 
Never said it's hard
and 1:1 for boss 
I said I need to switch my fleets to use good fleet instead of whatever garbage i'm using for Ibuki farm
I am glad that the subs aren't too tanky to take down

i just changed my first and second fleet based on what world i wanted to farm
third sos mob, fourth a 1:1 for all the dailies and soloing sos under w9 and boss for w9 and 10 
ready at all times 

fourth fleet is always my boss fleet. i hate having to switch every single time i start a run
@dense wing

very much so
i've only checked 5 DDs, but they all had 200+ ASW at 120
starter kais and yukikaze
Javelin at 112, Nimi at 120, Laffey at 115, Ayanami at 120
Are they sufficient?
i hate having boss fleet on anything but second cuz if i'd dc on map select it would change from 3rd/4th to second as default and I never stopped to look so randomly sometimes I'd get to last node just to realise wrong boss fleet 
personal problem tho
yeah, but at least the game remembers when you switch fleets
level 110 nimi can solo w10 sos boss with a gold sonar and purple dp, if not possible with blue gear, you can just add another bote @stuck copper
that's why my boss fleet is the fourth
it will always be last
@cosmic pier: all my ASW gears are blue, blue and blue 
So far I am opting to use Fortune, Eldridge and Laffey
Might as well replace them with my starters
ibuki at 89%
should finish today

and after that I switch to Izumo who just needs 30k which I do have
so that's PR done
Or PR1 should I say
my 117 phoenix can clear 8-5 with blue ASW gear, and that's lvl85
i wouldn't worry too much
a single DD has twice the ASW, and you can bring 3 of them
unless they seriously overtune it, there shouldn't be any issues
i didnt eve n know that about l;evel 8
i'm not saying 8-5 is hard, but how difficult can the event possibly be, right? it should be somewhat close
definitely not above 100
8-5 isnt hard at all
even 9-5 is ok
for me at least
i havent tried 10 lol
the point was to somewhat make an educated guess on what you're going to need. no more, no less.

the only thing i worry about are the siren subs themselves
who knows what kind of shit they're going to pull

like that fucking cross pattern on some sirens
i hate those


100% for so long..
Chaser is actually a very nice girl
Despite her "ojou ringlet", she doesn't seem to act all high and mighty

screen is usually the worst
that's why you're urged to dim it as much as possible
it's a crying shame. you have these beautiful, vibrant screens, but they will drain your battery within a couple hours if you actually use them.
oneplus 7 pro screen

razerphone screen
i have an s6 edge, which is notorious for its poor battery life
maximum brightness, maximum resolution
I want a razerphone just bc they look and sound soo good
they're heavy tho
can't look a gifted horse in the mouth
edgy
very unwieldy

i have fairly big hands and its a pain to hold it one handed
and that's without the case
it was 100 fo so long cuz it was on charge overnight
I wanted a + screen (iphone) but I declined the offer for the sake of comfortability and typing
ahh your time is different
fucking ew
or so people on the inets say
so you have large disproportionate hands, and looong fingers?
but the bling is amazing
long skinny fingers
amirite @stuck copper
and your tendons visible?
not that much lel
long screen is looooong
well it does have HDR10+










head pats for everyone, make a line please! 




that one? or this one 











oops
