wait for ur four choices to complete their exercises
then they higher ranked than you
so... around the time before resets?
right after resets 
so around 15 mins after resets, got it
keep reloading and coping
TW and JP often see 2600+ at the high end
Anyone tried something like Musashi/Shinano/Hiryuu+Juneau/Anchorage/Harbin?
All following Famine collusion strats
who won last reset?
Unultra, no contest
BDO
BDO is just a front, he's actually selling boosting services in AL pvp 
@empty mesa found your dealer

<@&472236072743600148> We got some really off topic conversation here


did you have to ping all of us
Kirito about to be banned for boosting?


why not?
if it's mod related then its fine 
Uhhh.. This is an Azur Lane server..
i don't wanna be pinged for mod stuff
lemme be free
anyway, this is AL server yes, this channel is also for AL pvp

No Floofie, don't leave us 

Someone who was in shambles 

what was that deleted message?
guy was advertising Black Desert Online
Who else join his guild
lmao advertisements in my gacha game, no shit
back on topic. is vittorio veneto + duca (don't have aquila) be better than warkai?
in terms of sniping
not really
Hmm curious, do any of you put harbin in your pvp teams?
I do
im kinda locked to weeb atm so if i had shima i probably wouldnt run harbin
She was the best 3rd vanguard until musashi came along
Might still be best but Musashi can one shot her so I'm experimenting with Duca again
But Harbin + Shima both with teatorps is really effective
i dont
Wait, is helldiver a Torp bomber ? Because aquilla has 2 fighter slots and one torp bomber slot
1st slot is a fighter. 2nd slot can be either a fighter or dive bomber. 3rd is a torp bomber
Copy that sir
how has musashi testing gone so far?
for mafia, weeb, and vanny flavored mafia i guess
These are some of the main fleet ships i saw used by high grade commanders. Is there any gears i must change and any suggestion for the combination ?
have you glanced at the guide
Just to make sure
Which one i mus swap ?
sea hornet
Faced one from one of the top players, weeb was able to beat it pretty easily
If she gets her full barrage off and they aren't already 90% dead she out damages shimakaze. She mops up longer (surviving preloads) fights really well. Not sure about defense fleet, but in an attack fleet I really like her.
Even against mafia her barrage just rips and tears, usually 30-40k damage off 1 barrage.
Nothing else lives long enough to really test her with my comp, I haven't run into a 2x barrage fight yet.
Enjoy my anecdotes.
any glaring vulnerabilities with my team? can sub out perseus for richi/ulrich
If you have the angels feather, I'd personally use it on Percy over the beaver, replace the washer on Anchorage for the beaver, and a wyvern on Percy when you eventually get that.
You can also use blue twin or the non magnetic torps just to get Anchorage firing smokescreen faster since her damage isn't that fantastic in the first place.
Who's that DD?
Yuudachi retrofit for her torp buffs and Shimakaze.
I use manju and beaver, she's always the last thing to die in any given match.
That looks largely fine
fair warning it will take a few resets to beat better fleets
faster load means good? 
uh
is there any new meta build for pvp or is it still the same
cuz the pinned message still has the same things
Still in testing phase
We be testing
Speaking of that, I finally got to fight 2 teams that lasted long enough for a second Musashi barrage.

Why do you use twin 127 on juneau specifically 
you dont, theres better guns
she was never gone
sushi/hiryuu/shinano/nj
anchorage/shima/juneau/harbin
oh, aquila in backline aswell
juneau gets pearl now right?
since she can stagger it
and manjuu on anchor i guess?
not necessarily
pearl is debatable tbh
since she usually dies right after "not-dying"
could experiment with manjuu between ancho and juneau with juneau pearl in that case
there hasnt been enough time for proper musashi testing yet
and since shes not locked to any particular comp, theres more than one meta fleet
i see
I saw the setup veston showed a couple days ago and thought it was for some pvp reason 
So which gun
Doesn't really matter what she has tbh, just got to read it xD
twin 128 skc
Yeah that's the safest option
I got around 17k merit last season (not including promotion reward) is it considered high or can it be maxed more
what's aotn?
highest rank, admiral of the navy
does that include promotion reward? cuz the 17k I got doesn't include it
yes
well that's quite impossible for me since I barely able to get in the top 100
I don't have shimakaze or the italian combo
best I can do is ayanami and percy+vanny+warspite
I have none of those and I think my highest rank is top 20? idk I don't check eos stuff 
I can get top 100 if I rush but it'll always go up eventually
neither shimakaze nor italian combo is needed
Best option on Juneau is duck gun, most AA stat
The attacker buff working wonders even if you don't have Italians or shimakaze
its not about the fleet its about how you push on ladder
Any easy to understand guide on how to do that?
there are two good videos in pinned messages made by alm that describe the process
Just remove atk buff and it'll be the same 
Both of mine are attacker fleets 
i simply dont defend 
Destroyer of seasons
Better luck next season bro
last season i missed aotn by 1 point with 11 overcaps 
5 shouldnt be an issue unless you planned on eos

lose X attempts to get 23 bonus, big brain
guys, i use in pvp almost "standart" fleet. is there a better options?
you can try Musashi/NJ/Aquila+Anchorage/Shimakaze/Juneau retrofit
interesting.. musashi with 410 triple, right, not 460?
musashi with twin 356 or twin 410
twin410
Twin 410mm KAI
Kai is better than normal one
On gear lab
just reset
I waited around 4min to kill that ancho

tbh i thought timer would go down to 0
and in that case who would have won?
draw
why not reset instead
it's a draw meaning you'll get zero pts
i thought it would be my win since i had more hp
good thing it won before 0 timer then
do you know you can reset your PvP fights without losing anything?
yeah but it was a better geared fleet than mine so it was my best attempt
Has there been any testing with musa in pvp? Is she better than vanguard?
most probably replaces vang in vang/aq/nj
overall cant go wrong using her in any team
my current team is Van/Warspite/Percy, i could use FdG or Mush if good
forget fdg
id use vang/musashi here
altho you could actually try warkai with musashi
could work sniping enemy backline early if sushi barrage decides to hit them
musa doesnt take warkai target prio tho
yeah but lightnings deal a lot of dmg
And Juneau is at 100
also flag percy
you still probably flag percy
i mean you could try triBB
should work aswell
but you might get fucked by nano/hiryuu
what would you recommend
id say vang/sushi/percy
could try warkai sushi if you want
but vang sushi should be enough
percy still flag?
think i used it even before i went back to ijn
yeah
flagship usually takes most dmg
ok thanks
so you put a throwaway there
well a lot of it also depends on enemy torp rng
so juneau replace yuudachi, ancho will replace kron, but is azuma better than kron for now?
nah, dont think so
went 7-1 against this with vang/percy/sushi, not the ideal test target but i have nothing else at the moment
except im using harbin instead of shima
how's aya to shima
stronger preload but worse everything else
isnt shima just for backline preload snipe
aya has a stronger preload but since shima has 2 she's more consistent with it
plus shima is tankier making it more likely she'll survive 'til ~20s and get another torp launch off
and also a better AoA for more chip dmg
nah what at level 82 too 💀
fr fr ong 💀
literally beat 5+ people that are 30 - 20 levels more than me
and their ships are all level 100 - 125 and i have 2 level 100s
people usually intentionally put non-meta, "naked" high level ships in the defense to either flex their waifu or to give people free exp.
My defense fleet consists of glasses girls.
only very few people uses tryhard fleet with tryhard gears
It gets boring when you're actively trying to find a team worth a damn to test on.
Easier to find those in higher ranks
Just wanna come back to this, does position matter for the 2 bbs?
don't think so
uh i think i forgot to an exercise
how many pts are people at rn/how many pts should people be at?
t100 at end of the reset were around 1460-1470 at 0/10, if you’re bagging you’d be around the same score but 5/10
sometimes you might want to target specific enemy backline with sushis sword slash as it reaches them, otherwise dont think theres any difference
Solid? I removed helena
Should I put musashi or vanguard or my backlinere are okay
too many tanks?
There's 1 tank bro
no
Aite
and she purple now
She has a crazy heal for the rest of her team
But yes she is garbage damage, crazy good support
Ah alr
yukikaze is a tank
just cause a ship is blue or purple doesnt make them bad, its the skills/usefulness that matters
shes clearly a dd bro cmon
a dd with tank skills
yeah i should get out of that mentality
just like mainz?
jervis and yuki only 2 tank dds
yuki is fine though
just clarifying that yuki is a tank is all
true she outlives my anchorage 30% of the time

that player uses bulins despite getting 1 shotted at the begining of the exercise
at level 40 i couldnt find anyone to test on because i had a trash team
its not about winning its about sending a message
this aint really pvp but this man flexing so hard idon even wanna press that button
Looks easy though wdym
free win
pretty free vanguard
Not even 18k when flex
I suck at pvp but is this team viable or should I do something else
Do you have anchorage or anyone somewhat tanky? Because your frontline will get eviscerated by preloads.
You could remove sandi for a proper tank and be better off.
That might be a little bit of a problem. Other than that, you'll want them at level 120, but with a tank that team would work.
Other than anchorage what ships can be counted as tanks I have too many unbuilt ships
The issue is in pvp most tanks are paper, even the DR's and UR's like Azuma, Agir, Kronshtadt. Anchorage is uniquely beefy because she makes your entire vanguard gain 40% evasion.
A tanky ship with torpedo bulges still won't really save you from Shimakaze, Anchorage is really hard to compromise on.
Looks like Ill have to refocus resources to Anchorage construction
Get Juneau
Get Hiryuu over Warspite
And whenever you can, swap yuudachi for Anchorage
I got a +14 from someone who was on the top 100, and I forgot to check the points difference. Fuck.
I got javelin retrofitted at level 105
definition of MORE EVASION
(javelin raid skill is level 9 now)
is setup good
though
DD's are still very fragile, that ship won't be tanking much.
yea its usually the first to die
but since it has a S rating in evasion its mainly swiftsure who dies first
great ship to dodge
and usually is automatically reloaded torpedoes when starting sortie
That gearing though
I still don't understand this 
probably lost/reset the fight cuz sandy won't die to solo percy

Should i use ap or he ammo for pvp?
It depends on the ship. Battleships mostly want AP guns, unless they have an early strike when you'll often give them a HE gun. Vanguards mostly use HE.
Who should I replace with Anchorage here?
Kron should be replaced
or you could start doing more than one exercise per two weeks
i lose every fight

No luck on low Player 
not like theres a sheet in pins
Who should I use?
No pasta fleet, nor nj
Currently using kron/Seattle with damage control/ancho with pearl, and chise/musashi/vg
Guns, well the purp 410kai on musa, skc 34 406mm on vg, standard tiger at, hell diver and wyvern on chise
Also has a budget section
Musashi/Shinano/Hiryuu/Ancho/Helena/Juneau
actually, is aya worth without black torp?
mmm if Lixxie had a Yuudachi, would that be preferable to Helena or would you keep her?
My dock and comp are practically identical but I used Yukikaze instead of Hellena. But it might be better to swap either for her or Yuudachi
Hello, that's a great backline u have there
Now speaking of frontline, that's kind of meh for PvP.
Shimakaze's torps and/or Aquila/Perseus/Chise preloads can and will smoke ur vanguards; and if that doesn't do the trick then Hiryuu/Shinano (the BBs are busy sniping backlines usually) will smoke those fat sterns to Bikini Atoll.
In other words, Frontline without Anchorage = bad. She protects against some of the worst dmg in PvP partially because of evasion she gives to fleetmates.
Generally speaking, any top tier PvP fleet worth their salt uses any combination of Anchorage, Juneau, torpdemons such as Shima or Ayanami, Noshiro/Duca (both decrease torp dmg ur frontline receives, latter is recommended if u have Mafia fleet), Harbin
Poverty options are Yukikaze, Juneau
juneau poverty 
mentioning noshiro/duca but not harbin
feels like lechon is always looking at pinned pic but never noticed the sheet thats also in there
forgetti
Imagine using Juneau.
yeah imagine 
either way, it's alright being checked on once in a while. cunningham's law in effect
what's a sheet
wonder why sea hornet > tigercat here, does it have to do with crash dmg and/or how fast the planes go?
and ofc juneau retro and sushi appearance change stuff but its not been tested fully yet
don't have juneau raised yet, i should rn
sea hornet faster load time
Weeb with Sushi works fine for me so far.
hey Salty, does ur sheet implies max fleet tech, or does it not apply in PvP?
doesnt apply
ah then. great to know

don't have much fleet tech myself
Shoot, can't beat this fleet.
Forgot about refreshes before this comment
Tried Noshiro before Kazagumo. Tried to deal moar torp dmg
Inb4 ppl hawk at me for not being able to beat a Sniper fleet.
It is time
can richelieu do something with preload against this fleet?
percy will reveal hiryuu, put her against enemy warspite. snipe nj with warspite.
There are some early testing results
Simply put
“If you have a Musashi, you use the Musashi”

Cus Musashi fleets are just so much stronger than non Musashi fleets
i know but i rather put a disclaimer out there just in case 
Mhm as for actual fleets then yeah there’s currently 4
Most are running Musashi weeb
Or a variation of Musashi weeb but with NJ instead of 1 of the 2 CVs
Musashi Aquila also shows positive testing results
Tho one thing is for certain is that Musashi’s barrage currently has no counters outside of just running your own Musashi

🦅
I've only found a few teams that survive 1 barrage, even at the top of the pvp ladder nothing survives 2 barrages.
isnt musashi weeb just ijn fleet 
Musashi can do frontline pressure better than NJ which fixes a huge problem where people can just beat weeb by winning the frontline war. And yeah we are slowly moving back to IJN fleet territory
yeah, just talking namewise
they all are ijn
NJ Shinano Hiryuu is great and all but a problem with it is that NJ’s barrage targetting is unreliable. If it targets frontline then enemy can just dodge using speed
what makes nanohiryuu a weeb and not musashi 
However, Musashi doesn’t really care about speed
Them lightning strikes just hit moving targets like nothing
So speed preload comp with high dps mid tier survivability frontline are less likely to win frontline battle
As for backline pressure then 2 CVs can likely handle it without the need of Musashi to run AP gun
harbin blue torps :pausechamp:
So you can run 410 Musashi or 356 Musashi

unironically works tbh, rip dps tho
Tbh I expected the pvp switch to Musashi to happen much much quicker
whats the timing on 356 sushi anyway
However we are already on 3rd week?
@floral wave can you steamroll most meta fleet now?
And there are still very few Musashis in pvp
idk, i switched after 2 days
Pretty much only higher rank players have them
yeah, some not so steamroll, but high win%
Also I can sort of safely say Mafia is dead

I don’t think under any circumstance is Mafia viable at high rank anymore
but thats testings from last week and earlier
i think her 3rd skill makes ppl think shes not pvp usable
im dead this season
seen some ppl saying that
imagine reading 
her dr dont work in pvp yadayada, cant blame them tbh, in game wording is pepega
Aquila is still very much used even with Musashi
doesnt sushi work in zoomer tho
Good, kill the competition 
Tbf the less people use Musashi, the better for us
I have seen a lot of stupid reasoning like “muhh her dr doesn’t work” or “Izumo gun is too slow for pvp” or “she can’t effectively use 457”
just saying on how some thought process goes for ppl who dont really care about pvp
When legit Musashi is the cheapest UR BB to use in PVP when you can run Blue gun on her and she can still destroys
ye i get it, but i dont get that reasoning 
i did run confetti against mediocre mafias
no issue 
if only her base gun counted as ijn
I mean just earlier up above someone thought fleet tech applies to pvp
eva tech would be unironically op
The better it is for us
So maybe we shouldn’t tell people how good she is
btw, does aya work without black torp

or not worth
Not worth
budget case anyway
yeah thats what i thought
gotta find 3rd frontline for my lexi account 
why u tying to use aya anyway
prolly yuudachi yeah
weeb better with stally vanguard
Incase of no Shima ofc
not trying yet, but i made a lexi acc 3 days ago 
I’m still thinking of some stupid ideas of using Shinano and Musashi with either Amagi or Nagato
even with no shima, juneau harbin ancho would still better
amagi doesnt seem to work tbh
idk, i just cant see her defensive kit making a difference
Seydlitz fleet also seems dead btw
I mean Harbin already killed it
This killed it more so

agir vs sushi barrage ouch
If we have IJN ver of Manjuu
going defensive without having dmg is suicide
I can honestly say IJN has no counter
But because Manjuu is USS
Of which NJ is still used over Musashi in some cases

works years ago when the biggest dmg burst was just warkai
Spotting also became less useful I would say
not like revealing nano+hiryuu does much, yeah
Because without spotting, Musashi essentially would just dump her entire lightning strike load on frontline or enemy NJ
The lightning strikes are just too broken in pvp

Who thought of this
Most frontlines don’t survive long enough to even need a second barrage to kill them off
did anyone actually test harbins blue torps survivability against sushi barrage
I think 3xBB is going to turn out to be really good. It was already one of the best fleets for beating weeb and Musashi solves all it's problems
Yeah just dump everything into that frontline

triple harbin gun
Or just dump that enemy Musashi or NJ at top
Also Harbin gun yeah, that thing is great as aux
Hopefully I can roll brah sometime this season so I can test it out
the range just too good
68 vs 70 on Harbin gun. Harbin gun has higher DPS but Plymouth gun penetrates so can multi hit
hard to say which is better
Plymouth gun has more fp stat which helps with Musashi’s barrage a bit more
i did
can you actually feel the difference?
or is it more of a copium
not running rainbow mags on harbin hurts my soul 
copium if ure running aggressive fleet
try teatorps
isnt that even more of a copium tbh
No
single set
Shima + Harbin both with teatorps is really effective
Volume of fire makes it pretty consistent
yeah teatorps works
but if looking for smoke on musashi barrage thats pretty much it for now
thats copium aggro 
aggro is like musa,nj,aquila/shinano with shima upfront
ye thats why i said thats the most aggro i can field 
just play ijn backline
its actually most consistent i feel
does juneau kai take main tank now or still off tank?
i tried both and she doesnt seem to work offtank anymore
for me at least
double gyro doesnt help dodging sushi barrage so i just slapped more tank on her and made maintank
just a thought tho, ply + sushi flag? plys barrage should mark all 3 vanguards before first sushi barrage 
probably need to wait d30 to see wether worth or not
yeah surely

🤔
helena sg scanning to weaken dem
Does soemthing like mushy haku nano anchor shima juneau work? Running hiryuu vg wk right now
If you use that just with hiryuu not haku you have one of the best fleets right now
Great 🙂 which gun? Twin 410 kai or the AP one?
The 410mm, the AP gun is too slow for pvp
The blue 356mm is an option too, that’s what I’m using at the moment and I like it a lot but for a double CV fleet the 410 might be better
Helena SG radar'd too much and hacked the game
Bruh, it happened again
Aquila spotted but NJ only fired when Aquila launched her planes
The fleet was Vanguard/Musashi/NJ (oathed, 177 reload with 457 and HPFCR)+Anchorage/Shima/Juneau
aquila has not been revealed
I thought Aquila is

Bar needs to be full for her to be revealed right? I thought it only needs to be above the red line
Needs to be full. You’ll see an ! At the top if they are revealed
❗
dying to enty in this age
I died to White's Manjuu Enty. 
retirement time :pausechamp:
My musashi 

scuffed in most ways
didnt get the twin 410 memo 
well nothing is maxed and nothing is optimal and it's 0lb
so not much to say
would have to farm again the first time
nope all scrap
that's not blessex
then craft it from gearlab interface
also crafted all BPs into twin 410s to scrap? is that what you did?
youre trying too hard
ye, some people cant be helped
heh
you'll just lose time and possibly sanity
Where i can find source that describe the pvp meta ?
It’s not updated with Musashi yet tho
You're in #pvp so one ||or both|| of those have already been lost
I imagine he's help banned for a reason
lmao, didnt notice 
Just pray the mods get tired of him
oh, he is
you guys arent speaking his language thats why he doesnt understand
im quitting
why
Seydlitz probably due to New Jersey
copium
I run Lutzow, Seydlitz, Musashi. Beats most things assuming my vanguards can hold up enough to reveal enemy CVs. Biggest issue is 100 percent faithful Mafia fleets. I can deal with most other enemies including mafia variants. Do I recommend the fleet? Ehhh. It's workable. But you need to reset a few times depending on opponent.
currently doing Vanguard - Warspite retro - Hiryuu retro
Musashi is very strong in pvp. Seydlitz is more replaceable honestly. Mushi is bulky enough to eat NJ barrages without dying.
bruh there was a full CV preload fleet I could not beat; i assume the guy had wyverns
don;'t have image rn it's on my phone
That sounds like a vanguard issue more than a backline issue
What's your vanguard?

running musashi but has problem with mafias? time to change lutzow
I like the dedication but like if you are running into a problem, best to change it
Nah. It's my vanguard. It's even more jank than my backline. Eugen, Lucky Lou, Drake
anchorage is basically easy to get and so is juneau
Mhm. I might throw in Anchorage in the future. not enough tech points yet for Anchorage. :/
juneau worth getting?
and is Noshiro/Duca basically not needed (without Mafia requirements)?
noshiro is a counterpart to duca when running shima without veneto
but without mafia req, does that mean aquila fleet or ijn fleet
no aquila, weeb i can manage though.
haven't raised juneau yet because funny blue
idk when people use ancho + shima + x
welp thx to d3 i got her MLB'd... tham ngan ingame then
shit i also don't have NJ... but can Musashi manage in Weeb pvp fleet?
i think musa is BiS over nj anyways
:widepeepohappy:
cant beat the leftmost team rip my season
what's the fleets used, opponent and yours?
nvm it's UNULTRA
don't mind this comment, not intending to reveal trade secrets
theyre not secrets everything is in the pins 
*open secrets
theres no hidden secrets to make your fleet unbeatable
for musashi, do you guys use twin410kai or izumogun? with hsfcr
both with hpfcr and twin one, but triple works aswell
triple probably better in non weeb fleets
is Shinano better than Hiryuu retro when it comes to Weeb fleets?
theyre both core
you use them together, nobody's better
When we mention weeb, it refers to to NJ Hiryuu Shinano, Ancho Shima Juneau
If we refer to their variations, we would say Musashi weeb
Or Harbin weeb
ahh, ima use Musashi variant then
or "ijn" 
There are particular fleet formats
how do you call musashi harbin combined 
- Mafia: NJ VV Aquila, Ancho Shima Duca
- Weeb: NJ Hiryuu Shinano, Ancho Shima Juneau
- Zoomer: NJ Vanguard Aquila, Ancho Shima Harbin
- Seydlitz: NJ Seydlitz Aquila, Ancho Agir Shima
If we refer to their variations, it would be Musashi Weeb, Musashi Zoomer, Noshiro Zoomer, etc
We don’t have a term for Musashi fleets yet tho
didnt Ari name one of early variations yakuza 
Because there are 3-4 viable Musashi fleets currently
And not all of them follow the format layed out above
- Musashi Zoomer is usually Musashi NJ Aquila Ancho Shima Harbin
- Musashi Weeb is usually Musashi Hiryuu Shinano Ancho Shima Juneau
But we got Musashi NJ Shinano or Musashi NJ Hiryuu, which don’t have names yet
if its just a fleet with musashi replacing it u just call it musashi + name of fleet
but if its a new meta fleet with different setup we will consider a name
We probably need some new names, it’s going to get tiring adding Musashi to every name when she’s going to be in every fleet
I call Musashi weeb the Yamato fleet
yeah the name weeb doesnt fit when theres no uss botes in it
otaku

Ancho and Juneau closet weebs then
Sushi Dish (Musashi variants)

Sushi + NJ = California roll? 
Win on this is impossible or
I mean no fleet is impossible to beat, it depends what you have on your side
Fleet of nothing 

Stay salty 


I feel like it's weird that battleships target the vanguard in pvp so often to little effect. From what I've seen so far battleships end up missing most shots against all but the slowest vanguards and so anything that doesn't go into the back line gets basically put to waste, while carriers seem to always utilize their launches to 100%
Now what happens if your vanguard dies and you only have carriers?
It seems very balanced
Yeah, that's a fair point, but the problem is that it seems a bit weird to me, like very black/white. If your vanguard loses while you only have carriers its almost a guaranteed loss, but if your vanguard survives then the effect of the enemy battleships gets reduced by approximately 50-75% which seems to be their miss rate against fast vanguards
So not necessarily favouring either side in that case, but still imbalanced
A lot of it is because people stack speed on their vanguards to dodge the battleships. It also only takes one good hit to nearly kill the vanguard with a battleship.
You can also just use Musashi who pretty much doesn’t miss with her lightning strikes
Musashi's barrage cleaves both front and backline pretty nicely.
doesnt cleave backline because backline units are too far away from each other
There are other advantages BB can have over CVs in pvp as well. Most BBs are usually tankier than CVs. BBs have shorter firing intervals than CVs. CVs’ damage to frontline can be mitigated using shields and smokes from Harbin or Ancho. CVs’ damage to backline can also be mitigated by simply having high AA or stacking Wyverns.
BBs ofc have consistency issues with their targeting, however BBs with fixed frontal barrages can mitigate this issue. Or if you have Musashi and just have 100% hit rate on lightning strikes
. BB’s single target damage is more favored in pvp as “killing the enemy outright” is often better than having the damage spreads out.
Ofc BBs still has the limitation of needing CVs for spotting but CVs are also helpless if your frontline is breached so seems like a fair trade off
A lot of it has likely to do with me not having high end gear, I'm currently in the 1000-2000 range
So I don't have good AA/fighters to counteract CVs
Thanks for the explanation
If you plan to invest into pvp then 2 Sextuple and 4 Staags at +13 should be enough AA
The other thing you have to focus on is your Wyverns, which you need 1 to 3 at +13
That should give you enough to handle all CV fleets
If you are still afraid then put in 1 Pirate and use Crossbow Aug on CLs
Then have a Juneau
Is it worth it putting San Diego into the fleet to counter CV fleets?
I prefer to leave Juneau out and go super aggressive against CV fleets, the biggest weakness of CVs is they are slow. With torpedoes and battleships you can almost win before they even get to attack
It does need gear to do that though
kk, thanks for the information
If one vanguard is alive and the other isnt the BBs target backlines in both cases so idk what u mean
I mean that when the enemy vanguard is alive, BBs from my experience usually target the enemy vanguard and end up missing most of their shots unlike CVs, the planes of which usually fully utilize their payload and then their crash damage regardless of the enemy vanguard being alive or not
As I said, idk how it is in the highest end matches. I'm talking about my experience from the top 1000-2000 range
Anyone know why i am stuck at Captain?
because youre losing/missing fights
which ones?
wdym which ones
Wdym by losing fights?

wdym no dude
i havent done a single fight in 4 days and im 200 points above you
people that havent missed a fight are well over 2k points right now
theres 3 resets every day
well yea i did miss but havent lose a fight cuz i wont fight the dude with max lvls and oathed, cuz my setup sucks at pvp
ok thanks gonna coma back when got a good pvp setup
why do i think youre misunderstanding "good" pvp setup
theres a really nice google doc in pins here
that also involves budget fleets
Thanks for your help 
and if you got musashi you have a top pvp unit thats also very budget compared to others
Also that guy with max level oathed ships might not have given them any gear and only had them there to show off
ask me how I know.
these two week periods have been rough
sometimes i have a whole day where i had to work on stuff
and then i just lose complete motivation after overcapping
overslept 2 attempts, you love to see it
just take +0s
it will balance itself out when baggers are top10 with 6/10 left and cant roll higher rank 
did musashi do anything to change the comp or is mafia still the way to go?
She is annoying to fight
i've noticed that all of my resets lately are from musashi fleets, so not sure if there's an updated attack fleet that's better than the old mafia
Still not sure what best fleet is but she is definitely in it
old mafia was phased out ages ago but sushi created new meta
Old mafia was still easily viable with little to no resets needed
a lot of things are easily viable on attack 
I would know
vanny > sushi flag?
rest of the fleet ?
then put musashi as flag
also kronk > azuma?
Vanguard buffs her spread
is azuma fs 5 ?
no
Then use kron
ehhh, I would get at least 120 first
your azuma is oathed as well so Azuma might be better for now
alr
hiya, is there a current pvp tier list for cn?
best gear for harbin in PvP?
Something like this, +13 on the auxes will be better ofc.
Never knew Vanguard used 406mk6, forgot to swap it out after testing 2 run HelM
Those are some copium gear
And a lot of other fixing
u need to swap out those gears 
i can feel my coins being snapped out of existence
- Hiryuu: Level red skill, use Pirate + Suisei 12A, Aviation Fuel, WNT
- Vanguard: use Staag, AP gun
- Musashi: sword aug, use Seattle aux gun, upgrade to Twin 410 kai
- Noshiro: if you don’t have black aux then use Rainbow Quint Mag, not then Quad Mag, use Staag, Boiler, Rudder, Crossbow Aug
- Shimakaze: change AA to Staag
- Anchorage: Sextuple AA, run Greatsword Aug, run Beaver and Manjuu
do i follow the gears in ur sheets document?
WNT, Beaver, Manjuu are essentially pvp gears which you should run
oki
not bad
but can be better
if i slot Shinano instead (replacing Vanguard), what gears do I use
thats what its there for
Thank you pink guy
✋
next season
but as SaltyArrow said of me
"the struggle between education and azure lane pvp"
is there a new braindead pvp fleet besides the veneto nj aquila anc shima duca fleet since musashi now exists?
musashi/nj/aquila + anchorage/shima/harbin; triple BB variation is with Vanguard or UvH replacing Aquila.
musashi/shinano/hiryuu + anchorage/shima/juneau.
hello friends, is there a pvp tier list
there's one in pins, it's not updated with musashi yet but she basically makes every top fleet better.
update it Andy 
What's that gold gun on Anchorage?
Upgrade to the 203mm IB CA gun, Blücher's gun

he or ap gun for pvp
both 
Heap gun 👀
is it good to use 134mm twin high angle than STAAG for BBs for FP or nah?
No, it fires slow and doesn't give hit stat
For pvp, staag.
has anyone tested the possibility of using plymouth?

HellFire#9842 got muted.

Anyone got an AA gear suggestion for Vanguards. Every claiming platform exept gearlab
Sextuple Bofors
is Musashi in this fleet not the flagship?
Usually she’ll be flagship unless you want to aim her sword slash at a particular backliner
1 easy fight 
1 win and 9 lose 
In general it’s better to use STAAG, 134mm on BBs is for meta fight minmaxing only
I edged in to get those points before reset 
Couldn't remember if lightscape was washy or Lexi 
Can i reach top 50 if i just have nimi, kawakaze, eugen, taihou, nagato and FDG in exercise?
Top 50 now? Good luck
Top 50 during first week? Yeah perhaps
But top 50 in first week means nothing, both in merit gain and ego flexing
shiver me timbers first place with 100 points
does merit carry over to the next season or do I need to use it
Merit will remain
who won in Amagi?
is that a rhetorical question?
he won when the season started
rip
why such the gap between 1st and 2nd

4 baggers between 1st and 2nd place kinda overcapped yesterday

would nagato/shinano/hiryuu + azuma/ayanami/poi work as an early game pvp fleet?
Probably not really
who should i replace? i don't really have many options
did you get musashi?
not working on pr4 until i dev30 fdg so it'll be a while
welp
have fun in pvp then 
juneau worth picking up, or lvling up if you already got her
i have her refit and fully geared i just need to level her
Can always check the pvp sheet for budget fleets
Although, budget fleets assume you don't have UR ships or equips
im in a very awkward spot when it comes to ship and gear
thats to be expected when you lock yourself to pr2
was talking moreso in general
How many Wyverns do you have
Is there a guide that exists that tells us whats the ideal point increase per reset? Thanks

2600
Big thanks Stryk
and NArd 
2600 the dream 
Whats min. Diff, i understand the scr (the points per fight)
thats minimal point difference for a +1
some of them are not 100% accurate but generally works
attack someone that has +35 points than you
Is 33 good enough for first pvp of first reset? (4/5)
+12 is 71?
if youre at first rank, you have 25 base and if you beat someone thst has 15 points more you get 26 instead
first as in the lowest one
33 is good
Yes sorry it’s confusing thanks
Imma wait until next reset
ye thats why i clarified 
I hope they move

U have been a big help, thanks a lot, I’ll save that image
Thanks too Veston

+12 at 3/10 💀💀💀💀
2649 is a very realistic score
2689 when
My weakes ship make mvp 
Which ammo type are usually better in pvp: HE or AP?
AP, sniping those goofy ahh chibis at the backline chilling.
Simply put, most "meta" ships you'll encounter at PvP are either Medium or Heavy armored. AP works better there
Ty bro
Depends on fleet composition
If we are only talking about backline then
If your fleet has a preloader or fast loader BB like Riche, Seydlitz, VV then run HE on them, most meta option currently is MK7
Otherwise, run AP 457 or MK4 on your core BB like NJ
Musashi due to IJN gun requirements is a different case
It also depends on whether you want to make an Anti frontline fleet or an Anti backline fleet
so, izumo gun or the gear lab 410mm on sushi for pvp?
gear lab 410 or 357
what makes Mafia good, their consistency against attackers and defenders?
It’s very strong at the vanguard fight, it will almost always win it and can push through to victory from there
But it can’t kill backlines backed up by stall fast enough which is why it loses to weeb
And now it loses to Musashi too because she destroys vanguards so hard

Is this normal..?
yeah
whats wrong
Only on to strongfleets 
The one officer and then the 3 seamen ranks
well yea look at the rank diff
they rushed
Help me with to make a PvP fleet
show dock
hmm... opinions on Musashi + NJ in PvP? with any CV and Anchorage
Is there
either go Mafia (NJ, VV, Aquila), Weeb (idk which)
actually a lot of viable PvP comps
NJ/Musashi/Aquila + Anchorage/Shimakaze/Duca works, sushi wants a fast gun like twin 356mm/410 kai
yea what that guy said go build that
Norm pvp build?

Which of the 3 IJN guns are ppl slapping on Musashi?
for pvp
fast proc slow proc or dmg
fast proc with twin 356/twin 410
it's been four months
So era of mafia is over? 
Been using musashi NJ aquila ancho shima and noshiro, been doing good 
still good, but read here that it's weak against weeb cos it cant pressure backline fast enough after vanguard kill

can someone give the gears for the updated weeb comp again
Copy paste

A little like that except. It’s not the only good comp and has some pretty hard counters.
Why ramming my fleet all time

Yes
