also in pvp best loadouts for aquila auxes are:
wnt + fuel
feather + fuel
depending on flag

candid sluice
#

And put manju on anchorag

#

Swap your bb aa guns to staag

winged depot
#

maybe wnt vg and feather aql? Thinkpitz

not going musashi flag?

cant afford pancake plane for aquilla (yet) Bf ap or something else?

Seahornet if you have it.

#

i have 4 YD

stable dawn
#

it's fine to run it at +10 for now

neon bronze
#

yeah

stable dawn
#

any amount of intercept is better than bf109

#

if you have a Tigercat you could use that as a temporary replacement

#

if you don't have any of the 2x1000lb bomb fighters, just use skypirate

neon bronze
# winged depot

this is with aquila flag, right? i rather prefer either musashi/vg flag, most other ppl have aquila off-flag in their defense fleets

stable dawn
#

you can run musashi flag with wnt and put feather on aquila instead of wnt then put beaver + hpfcr on vanguard

winged depot
#

Reason why there's comments below that lol

zinc phoenix
#

Plus13 tiger or pancake?

stable dawn
#

pancake is better

#

it's a direct upgrade over tigercat

and sea hornet, sea hornet was BiS until pancake

zinc phoenix

I mean, plus13 tiger at or plus10 pancake

stable dawn
#

oh

oh

#

not sure, I'd go for +13 tigercat personally

Don’t have the plates

yeah, +13 tigercat until you could +13 the pancake

#

i don't have black torp so 🤷

#

if i had it i'd be using them tho

pastel jolt
#

You dont need black torp MutsukiHyperStare

#

Why is everyone saying black torp is needed to put pressure on the backline? It’s just helpful

#

Pure parallels with proper speed adjustment can hit backline semi-reliably even without teatorps, and even if you don’t resetting is okay especially for non hardbaggers

uncut agate
#

my teatorps very rarely hit the backline cuz attacker starts very far away and the enemy vanguard generally attracts the magnetised torps towards the sides

candid sluice
#

it all depends if u prefer consistency or volatility

@floral wave what's the gears u use in ur 3 BB comp?

hmm, VG 406mk4, Warkai 457, sushi 410kai?

little bobcat

why is wnt good?

Can anyone suggest a good exercise fleet for beginners?

stable dawn
#

Define "beginner"

merry vale
#

Yeah, gonna need a list of your ships and gear to even start making suggestions.

#

That isn't just 'copy meta'.

neon bronze
plucky arch
#

Do any ships reliably replace Shimakaze? I've been looking at a lot of the meta teams in this channel and the pins, and she's the only one I'm missing

merry vale
#

Anything but Shima is pretty cope.

#

Harbin or Aya work if you're truly needing to cope.

floral wave
#

harbin not as much cope

marsh sand
#

These are the ships that I have and my fleet on PvP, any suggestions or upgrade that I can make ? Blessex started playing on Nov 2022, so I'm missing a lot of ships

Just do your daily exercises for merit

I wouldn't even think about competitive pvp this early into the game

acoustic rose

ibuki good for pvp?

merry vale
acoustic rose
#

hmm i see what are the tops CB rn then?

merry vale
#

Anchorage >>> literally every other option by multiple miles.

acoustic rose
#

shit i dun have her, whos second to best then

merry vale
#

Even agir is pretty trash in pvp.

#

Tanks aren't that good in pvp. Anchorage is just busted.

acoustic rose
#

oh so we dont use them then?

merry vale
#

Your tank is made of paper in pvp thanks to preload torps and current meta ships.

#

So torp reduction and evasion boosting is way higher priority.

#

Without Anchorage everyone else is equally as squishy.

#

She's a staple you can't compromise on.

acoustic rose
#

i see, imma just avoid anyone using anchorage then

merry vale
#

That's basically everyone.

acoustic rose
#

Ehhssex bruh

merry vale
#

She gives a 35% evasion boost to your entire Frontline.

#

And she's insanely tanky, and she can use manju.

#

Everyone who cares even remotely about pvp uses Anchorage.

stable dawn
#

she's also permanent content

#

play at your own pace

pastel jolt
#

Better than other competing options, lacking Shima's pressure but fits better with slower fleets

#

Using Harbin/Noshiro makes your vanguard too slow unless you stack speed on Anchorage, and Ayanami is a cheap, inconsistent option that swings heavily making her not ideal for hardbagging

#

when I pvp I my fleet power is always a little bit lower, what is being lost?

distant thorn
#

Don't worry about fleet power it mostly comes down to ships/gear, for example my main fleet is only 16k and I still beat people with 18k fairly easily

And if u want a better pvp fleet just post your dock and wait for someone to help you

Hello, esteemed individuals of Azur Lane Official's Player-versus-Player channel. Could anyone please rate my Tier 0 Musashi Weeb fleet and its construction? Would love to hear some feedback from the great players here Noteshiro

stable dawn
#

You could potentially get #1 eos with that but I get the feeling you have done so already

#

My highest is 5th (or 6th) on Amagi RichelieuThink

#

Off the top of my head other than that, sexy bofors or the new UR gun on your Vanguard would be a good upgrade.

#

I'd maybe give your Yukikaze the pearl and a tool box, give Juneau a boiler for speed.

#

DDs need hp more than evasion since they come with high evasion and low hp.

#

Do i still receive less points than usual if i fight the person on the left?

merry vale
#

Yes. You will get a 9 for doing that.

final granite
#

Fuck

merry vale
#

You need to be rank 6 to gain a +10.

final granite
#

Hm

#

So in order to be #1, you just don't use all of your attacks

#

Even late season

#

Except maybe at the very end?

merry vale
#

To get #1 eos you sit at 5+/10 the entire season and sandbag for your life.

#

Rushing sees the top of the ladder more often but you won't end up high on the eos.

#

It's a food chain.

final granite
#

Which i tried
Thing is i sleep in 2 hours so i just empty my 10/10 everyday before we get 5/10 in 10 minutes

merry vale
#

You ideally hold it till 30 seconds on the final day to truly get a good eos.

final granite
#

Fuck that

merry vale
#

I cba.

#

I like being at the top of the ladder more often.

final granite
#

Seriously
That just means any error can wreck you lol

merry vale
#

Yes.

final granite
#

By error i mean like something happens in real life that takes time from you

#

Or you don't beat the opponent first try

merry vale
#

Yep.

#

Overcapping too.

#

If you overcap you lose 10 points and can get fucked out of eos.

#

Can't overcap if you rush.

Manju Anchorage stays alive even through acts of God.

#

I can count on one-hand how often she actually dies on me.

old portal
#

Would the VH armor plating be good on Plymouth since she has light armor?

uncut agate
#

She can't equip VH armour plating and heavy armour takes more dmg from torps and planes

old portal
#

Ohhh right

#

I read it isn’t even that good but it should work best for heavy armor ships right?

uncut agate
#

it's mostly for opsi mobbing and campaign stages when you're using a CB.
It uses to be good on Amagi way back when Warspite snipes were still prevalent, like 3 years ago.

Idk what torps/aa I should use for noshi and Juneau when I swap them

or if u have the rainbow aa put it on ancho and then give the sex to jun

And it's fine if I just move all the gear from ayanami to noshiro?

might be better to just use magtorps and build tank aux

2 BB Shinano changes:
Musashi: Plymouth's gun as the Auxillary gun. If unavailable, Twin 137 DD gun from the Gear Lab instead. If neither are available atm, that's fine as it is.
Vanguard: Same Auxillary gun suggestion with Musashi. Swap her Rudder with Anchorage's Beaver Badge.
Shinano: Angel's Feather is an alternative to Frontier Medal. Down to preference between survivability for herself (Angel's Feather), or a bit more dmg for CVs and a bit less dmg for BBs on both sides (FM).
Juneau: SaltyArrow's advice regarding AA guns. If she's oathed, use Gyro. Otherwise, replace her Gyro with a Boiler. Double Boilers are also an alternative option for more speed.
Ayanami: That's fine. Between 76mm and that main gun, the difference doesn't really matter for nearly all situations.
Anchorage: See Vanguard's changes and SaltyArrow. Another option to consider is Cosmic Kicks instead of Rudder for her. The rest are fine.

Meeb request:
Musashi: Twin 410 kai in Gear Lab, Plygun/Twin 137, STAAG, AFCR, Beaver Badge if you use her off-flag. If she is the flagship, WNT is preferred over Beaver Badge.
Hiryuu: Flapjack/Sea Hornet, Golddiver/Helldiver (doesn't have a Tenrai yet, if so, prioritize it on her), Wyvern/Breguet/Barracuda (in decreasing order), WNT, AvGas; if she is the flagship. If she is off-flag, use either Frontier Medal, or a Gold Catapult instead of WNT.
Shinano: Same gear. Angel's Feather is more preferred than Frontier Medal for survivability reasons, though. If Hiryuu's off-flag, have Shinano use Angel's Feather.
The Frontlines: see advice above.

If you only have two Wyverns available, give one Wyvern to Hiryuu and use Breguet/Barracuda, Golddiver/Helldiver (Tenrai can be used if you don't use a 2nd Wyvern on her), and Wyvern for Shinano. Same auxes/aux changes for both CVs. (adding this part just in case you do have this situation)

are you sure youre not missing one reset per day

theres 15 attempts per day

sweet breach

yes and i usually do them i may miss 5 of them some days but i always do at least 10

floral wave
#

doesnt matter

sweet breach
#

do i need to do all of them to get past captain?

#

also do i have to be 1000 seasonal rank or total rank?

floral wave
#

you need to hit it once in a season to get reward

winged depot
#

current rank needs to be 1000

floral wave
#

and theres no total and seasonal

winged depot
#

1050 points + rank 1000

#

if not rank 1000 even with 2000 points, then captain forever

does it matter what fleets you fight in pvp?

floral wave
#

if youre not at the point of beating every opponent, yes

#

if you lose its just as if you didnt do the fight

neon bronze
#

No

But because of the hard fleets you will be encountering later on, a strong fleet is recommended to beat nearly everyone

sweet breach
#

i cannot beat everyone i look for low power fleets and i was just wondering if high power fleets gave more score or something

floral wave
#

bonus points are calculated based on points difference between you and the opponent

sweet breach
#

so if i beat them with my ships barely taking damage then i will move up more?

floral wave
#

no

points as in your score

warm crow
#

its the number beside "seasonal" on the pvp page

sweet breach
#

but seasonal doesn't matter, right?

#

not for getting higher rank at least

floral wave
#

seasonal = points

neon bronze
floral wave
#

and it does matter

winged depot
#

it matters a lot

floral wave
#

for getting past captain you need to be rank 1k or higher AND at least 1050 points

sweet breach
#

what is the highest rank that you all have gotten?

winged depot
floral wave
#

highest possible ingame since its pretty easy once you understand the system

#

and have a decent fleet i guess

sweet breach
#

how many players of each rank can there be?

floral wave
#

theres no limits for that

#

you need to hit that rank once per season and its done

warm crow
#

you can reach aotn in a season and get kicked out in less than a minute, but you still get the bonus merits

sweet breach
#

what if your fleet is just average?

floral wave

then you need to improve it

if you have just won an exercise against a mover and you think the chances aren't great that anyone in your new list are going to move for the rest of the set, or they're going to move very late, and you're not saving refreshes to avoid 9s, then refreshing isn't bad

#

I should add that this is advice for you only if you're bagging, if you're rushing, save your refreshes for avoiding demerits when you're expending your attempts

do yall prefer torp bulge or just more boilers

i remember some dont like hp

I'm not sure at this point.

torpid shuttle

on juneau

#

im also not sure cos of musashi lasers

merry vale
#

After running cosmic kicks+ 2x boilers I'm seeing my Frontline die a lot more.

#

But they are also kinda zooming.

#

Anti torp Juneau+ washing machine Anchorage dies less often for sure.

#

But speed means they eat tons of extra torps, but also run away from NJ barrages a lot easier.

deft escarp
#

I use gyro+boiler on Juneau

merry vale
#

Although.

#

When my Anchorage actually dies. It's usually the enemies Anchorage solo vs 2-3 of my backline.

deft escarp
#

Yeah

#

I'm liking gyro+bulge on Juneau rn because she doesn't get instakilled by Shima preload while dying at the ~15s mark consistently

merry vale
#

I understand that, with higher speed you also do just run into more torps.

deft escarp
#

If the enemy Anchorage survives she's either half hp or have dcp

#

And Kicks on Anchorage makes the fleet move fast enough to avoid NJ barrage

merry vale
#

I might throw torp bulge back on Juneau.

Can someone explain to me why friedrich is doing so poorly its been going on since I've gotten her and it's driving me crazy

merry vale

Yes.

#

Her gun is bad and so are both her auxes and her AA gun isn't good either.

#

Your fdg isn't dev 30 either.

#

So she's missing most of her power.

heady creek
#

I know her aux aren't great but like cmon 2k thats it

#

What gun does she need?

lusty hill
#

your gun isn't +10 and not dev30, it could be that the fight ended before she fired anything

heady creek
#

She fired at least twice

merry vale
#

She has -1 mgm which means she tickles even if she hits.

heady creek
#

Mgm?

merry vale
#

Main gun mount.

#

It means fdg is at least 30-50% weaker than she could be.

#

This is roughly how I'd build pvp fdg.

#

The bottom gun if you lack a 457.

heady creek
#

The mgm problem is because of not being dev 30 then?

merry vale
#

Yes.

#

Fdg tickles till dev 30 for that exact reason.

sushi - hiryuu - yk2n... yk2n doesn't benefit from 2 wyvern bcs of her loadout
plus, shinano would fit in more than yk2n there because of musashi, hiryuu that'll buff her dmg output, a bit of synergy for running these ships.

only usecase I'll see Yk2n viable in a PvP comp is Yk2n - Enterprise/Essex-class CV - Indep retro 3 CV variant. Or replace one of the CVs with New Jersey.

Point is, Yk2n's practically niche here.

#

So, stop me if I'm being stupid here.
But I'm thinking of dropping Hiryuu for fs4/5 Fdg and just shoving Musashi flag without wnt. Anyone worth caring about will already have wnt on their flagships anyways and they don't stack. Fdg seems like new copium if you lack NJ.

neon bronze
#

Been thinking the same.

#

Though I'll wait for me geting my own FdG to Fs5 before I say smth about it

merry vale
#

If I wait till midnight mine Is already fs4.

#

Then again.

#

Flagship fdg sounds kinda dope.

#

Flagship with wnt, she gets her 20% damage reduction off her skill and she gets a bonus for being taken down to 30%.

#

But I think flag shipping her wouldn't be worth it at fs5. Since flag gives Musashi's barrage a much better position to hit the Vanguard.

neon bronze
#

True. As I've read, fs5 makes her viable to go off-flag, since her barrages now aren't position-reliant. Image related

merry vale
#

I'll flag her with wnt till I get fs5.

#

She's also 2x the hp of Hiryuu so that has some value as a preload sponge.

Keeping your Frontline alive so the enemy Vanguard isn't face hugging your backline is pretty important.

Every time I see someone's Anchorage blow up early I just laugh.

lusty hill

Cuz 50% of the time my fleet decimated their backline but shimakaze decimated my vanguard and it ended up with musashi having to kill whoever still alive with her secondary gun
