what does harbin gun do on backline 
USS DD gun hasn’t come out
Plymouth gun still scarce
So Harbin gun as Aux gun in pvp was preferred
Due to 70 range
CL guns has less range
How did I not realize Tamaki would be so devastating in pvp? 3x 200% DD mains is golden.
Never seen this before. Nice.
Where is the inethical forced pvp retirement category?
It's when you intentionally use a unit knowing that it is bugged and will crash PvP, forcing a stalemate regardless of condition
i.e. Akagi-chan before bug was fixed etc
it's in the black zone, where nobody can see it


put old ryuusei targeting in iceburg
You know what would be funny
If for the 6th jp anniversary they sneakily unpatched shiden kai
And watch chaos unfold
The Majestic 12?
perhaps there are some things we are better off not knowing

Like when Kenny was referring to the Agency before he left, he wasn't talking about Avrora but Amagi?

Similar stats to Boiler
It has more HP but less Speed
And can be +13 instead of +11
This is just my preference, no need to invest
Yeah, makes sense
More HP but less speed
I was so confused when I was staring at it and the crystal bomb
I was like ??? How exactly is this better than literally anything else
Crystal bomb only gives flat eva so I was confused
Yeah, this makes a lot more sense
I guess you do not have ankimo?
Collab item shop when?
Never

i feel like musashi doesnt hit hard enough with 356, should i run twin 410 kai instead
its already +11 anyway
my ayanami does lesser than my ancho so 
also is it even possible to beat these fleets 
they literally tanked through both my sushi and nj and survived with half health while they one shotted me

surprisingly their shima did nothing to me
smh no bulin defence
From the back image
well its pretty new to me since i dont really take pvp seriously
I see Noshiro, Aya, Bismarck 2
i heard zwei good on defence yea
You can beat MSN with like 5 retries or so
aya just there cuz i forgot to drop her for harbin
If not then switch out someone
If it takes you more than 5 then don’t bother fighting
hiryuu gamble 🎲
cuz they clearly werent going to magically sink with other ships considering how limited my options are 
isnt hiryuu just there to stall? no point in just her surviving and everyone else ded
Against stall comps while having under par fleet then the best your can do is hope RNG let you kill their frontline
Which may take a couple of tries
That’s it
well shes a good safety net if u dont have the strongest fleet
i had 0 issues with their frontline
Since it seems like your offense isn’t strong enough to punch through their defense
the backline just too tanky and hit too hard
eva rng maybe
If your frontline isn’t dead by the time you reach their backline then there’s no issue
A few wave of torps should end it
that's why im considering twin 410 instead
that wont be much difference vs bbs
only ancho survived after duking it out both times so 
That won’t be much difference
Then your frontline isn’t strong enough
she had like half health and got deleted by aux guns
well i was running harbin + noshi so 
time for juneau tech

The point is that their frontline doesn’t have enough dps to win the frontline fight with enough HP remaining
Trying to out tank a stall comp while using a rush fleet wouldn’t end well
Honestly you could have switched out Bismarck Zwei for FDG or Vanguard or Aquila
Then use more damaging torps
And hope rng is on your side
You can beat it in 5 tries or less
i was running yakuza
A yakuza without Shima
i was running +13 quint on harbin
its the rainbow ones, i thought those were good?
Without Black Aux then the reliability of those is low
Seems like a lot of limited options
Ig just ignore those for now until you get Black Aux torp
thats why i never really took pvp seriously, cuz i prioritise pve stuff
its from shima event right? cant rmb where its from
It’s from Perseus/Vanguard event
perseus wa coming soon, good opportunity for me then
The Black Aux was already used in Noshiro Naganami Jintsuu cancer torp comps before Ancho was released

does noshi run the quint after i get the black torp?
No
shes running my +13 quad 
Just run Tea torps and Black Aux torp when you get it
The Quint torps stopped being used once Ancho and Harbin became relevant
ill only have 1 black torp though
and itll go on harbin
Would render most opening torp damage to the frontline quite useless
so noshi gets leftovers which is the quint no? or am i missing something
So Tea torps is used for occasional back line snipes
tried that, never worked for me
If you only have 1 Black Aux then yeah use it on Harbin
Black Aux and Tea torp
Noshiro gets Quint
Without Shima it is still troublesome to run offense comps
ill just bide my time until black torp then, thanks for the help 
September might give us something new to change the meta
So there’s still hope for that
i felt the pain of no shima more than i needed to 
i hope not, i dont wanna raise more ships when my backlog is a billion miles long
hidden ply tech time
There’s a copium idea you could try @gritty quiver
Do you wanna know?
The Gridman comp, It is really copium
Will i get +9 or +10 from him? 
Try exiting the app to confirm but this is a true Schrödinger situation

Yeah, relog and it fixed
Still less copium than mafia 2023 
Gridman is enough to defeat MSN 
You should be able to win on attack on a lot of fleet tbh
Free win cause attacker bonuses
Is this pre or post nerf
I don't remember when they nerfed it 
Seggs
Well. Can try that out
Felix op
what equips are you running
shimakaze killer 
Bis2 killer, she killed both her and Gery 
ply 🧐

Plymouth is in PvP tierlist so 
how did i forget about that
Felix wasn't even mentioned 
Wait, was Felix not mentioned because she's a higher up tech? 
is it even worth coping without blacktorp aux
The no black torp cope is asw torp + oxytorp
🤔
On occasion she outdamages sushi 
You don't really need oxytorp

She got MVP against @tawny parcel on LE 
I just run it because she doesn't die quick enough with another hp aux 
Bulky harbin 
I just want my pearl procs for the never ending ancho magic trick 
+0 pearl juneau best tech 
Tamaki outdamaging FdG lol
She does that a lot because her early barrage kills most of the vanguard by itself 
Because sheet tier list wasn’t written by ALM
It was made by the community within ALM’s server
And any related parties to those members
Yeah, the sheet was written with no affiliation to ALM, despite the writers being a part of (or formally a part of) ALM's server
ALM isn't part of the council 
Do you expect Serenity to read? 
He knows how to read, he's trolling you
I know most you guys are alm people so I assume he is the pvp president or something
So my theory about him being the strongest pvper but pretending having skills issues is right?! 
It is highly likely, given he's a higher up
only a higher up could come up with something like the yakuza conspiracy
ALM is usually too busy to join in with us in these projects
He has his own thing he wants to do
So the Sheet tierlist isn’t affiliated with him
Since when I got promoted to higher ups 
And tbh ALM usually doesn’t play pvp that much
At least not as much as some of us here
Always have been

@stable dawn can confirm ALM's activity
The king of pvp, in the flesh
Not god, that's UNULTRA


When was the last time ALM got eos
Probably last year during the tourny
After much delay I finally, on Bunker Hill Day nonetheless, released my mono-USS PvP fleet for Azur Lane. I go over my ship composition and equipment for the fleet I used to obtain Admiral of the Navy rank in exercises. Special thanks to Caleb Meyers for making this video possible.

Twitt...
His last PvP fleet video is from before Musashi

oh did he never edit and upload his pvp tier list stream?

get better fleet nerd
Almost +12 
That happens when you're behind
I never claim to have best defense fleet. Just only coping on attack
Because I suck. Hard. A lot.
Besides, all Amagi player can beat my def. Hiryuu does nothing but 15 seconds of gay on def
that's 5 more seconds of gay than my seyd
@neon bronze Hi there!

I need to crush the most gay meta def fleet on our server...
Oh,stop
I already crushed that shit
No,it isn't your,Chicharon))

Is CL AP better than HE for pvp?
for CL guns pvp or pve you generally don't care that much about ammo type but rather their DPS. It just coincides that the UR PR gun is AP and is the bis CL gun
dps as sara fan said; angle (backline only) to hit frontline ships; range for the same reason.
how much difference does fuel on cv make
you don't play cv without it
current
no wonder yall running +13 aa guns 
aa gun used to shave off the hp of planes. pretty much decreases crash dmg alright
in a gamemode where plane health is quadrupled and crash dmg calcs rely on that hp value.
pvp in a nutshell is either hair color themed waifu or murican italian mafia
Mafia 2023 
Love everyone equally
No 2 
I had to take a +7

I just realized that magnetic torps doesn't target a hidden CV
No wonder aquila never dies
serenity moment
hidden mechanic gaming
Use Manjuu NJ while you're at it
@lusty hill right behind you

I have a very, very dumb question.
Pretty much the only ships I have from the recommended reading for current meta participation are back line, and Aiger.
Would Ager/Cheshire/Heinrich work as vanguard while I work up Ancho/Juneau/Ayaname/literally anyone?
CBs have an issue of being pretty bad in pvp
Agir especially has the weakness of being very very vulnerable to torps
If you have to focus on working up one vanguard, it has to be Ancho
Ayanami is mid 
Use nosh or harb instead 
Harb still better than nosh though
Eh if they have nothing else judging from what they said then Ayanami can be useful
In that case I'm kinda boned. Aigers the only character I have on this chart over 80 ATM
. Including the budget guide. Looks like being PVE Destory and CB heavy is having draw back.
Well I should be able to book Ancho. It looks Like I might also be able to Book Ayanami. I I don't have Nosh or Harb yet. No where close to harb.
I don't think they'd have Harbin if they're asking this
You need 125 for PvP btw 
Eh if you can't field a vanguard that's passable I'd do pvp just for the merit + the xp it gives
Get Eos with bulin 
Eos?
Akashi + bulin aotn no hax trust
End of season
so that guyed?
Guyed?
Thank you everyone for the help. I think I have a better Idea of where to go with this to earn merit more consistently.
or if you have other torpedo vanguards you can go the meme all torpedo vanguard
@rapid coral post your entire dock
that way we can be sure of what you have, and then make a fleet (or recommend ships to get if you lack 'em)
So actually learned two good things. One: I do have Juneau, the reason I could not find her is she is retrofit and my filters were wrong. Two Ayanami is over 100 and my filters... were wrong. Its been a day. Turning this into a thread. Trying to, its not letting me start one right now. Working on it.
yeah no its not letting me start a thread.
Do I need to apply for a roll in pvp to do that?
no, a lot of big servers don't let people make threads
anyway not much is going on here rn, might as well post as is
Feel bad for wasting time then. Limiting this to elite, SS and UR. Its really not a matter of having ships its a matter of having leveled ships. Sorry for the long list.
Edited: Also booked Ancho, has far as I can.
honestly best bet for you is probably ancho - harbin - juneau
until shima inevitably reruns
I don't have Harbin
good time to get her then. She just got a fate sim
you can use the DDG retrofits for fast exp gain
like An Shan and Chang Chun
they're also really good in higher level zones like W14 and OpSi
I'm not very close to Harbin
well you have more than enough Dragon Empery ships. Might as well level them.
how about the backline ships
I am 22 Bulin away from Max limit breaking Enough to start Harbin. At best possible speed it will be at least a month before I start.
Warspite, shinano, Amagi, Enterpirse, Haku, AVP, Ark Royal, kaludia, Unicorn, Musashi, Vanguard, FDG, Yamshiro mesta, Lutzow and Seydlitz all 125 with NJ, Joffre, Yorky II, Hiryuu, and Taihou on the way. (need chips). All Retrofits where apllicable as well.
well focus on Musashi, Shinano, Unicorn, NJ first lol. Can then fill with the rest as you play the game
Nj is only not 125 because the rerun only happened recently. If I do well in this even she should be 125 at the end when I have the chips.
then I need gear for her which... might take a bit longer. Though she can always Barrow Vanny if I need it. Best in slot for everything not auxiliary.
Honestlly really proud of my back fleets. Even the ones I know I won't let anywhere near pvp.
If you don't have Harb, Noshiro is a better replacement imo than Ayanami
I agree with this
I used noshiro before getting Aya, got aya then switched back to noshiro before getting harb 
Aya just don't do so great if her preload doesn't hit
1 point off
If exercise attempt limit and refresh limit is removed
Means
leauge easy achievemen, the AotN
regulations
is pvp regulations included in pvp iceberg
There's rules 
what would be a good fleet for fast matches vs low stat/level teams?
yakuza
overcapping on last day 
yakuza, 3 bb
mafia if you live on a cave
I was trying Ayanami in pvp and her torp dmg impressed me
12k dmg to a NJ with a single torp
you got lucky there
Usually she doesn't even hit her torps 
what is the proper strategy for pvp after season reset?
like does when you log in affect what opponents you roll
login 3-4 minutes after season starts, do a battle, logout.
login again after some time to check if someone moved.
moving ASAP:
log in just after season reset, within 2 min of start
wait a bit, one of your set (near) guaranteed to move ASAP
log in 5 min after, check list. if 120~+, eat 1. +32 to 34, depends on score
get next list, wait a while. varies; 2 min to another 5 min
if one of them moved, eat them. +30-31
rinse and repeat, next one should be +27-29
can wait a while here at 2/5 as well, get +27
then do an attack at 1/5 for +22 or 23
consistent 138-143 scores, early set.
there are some meme strategies that are viable in day 1 because yes. Have seen someone achieve 169 score from the first set alone
is it really best to use all attempts on first reset?
wouldn't it get more if you do 3 attemps and wait for next reset to get a +30 to +34
when you log in soon after season reset, are your opponents people who logged in before you?
using all attempt is fine, i reach 142 often
2/5 and 1/5 both are valid as well
it'll be decided on EoS anyway
best performance so far, but fell a bit short of the top 10
So close yet so far to another 2600 in amagae
You can try it if you have someone you know will move very early but it’s more consistent to rush the first few sets. At the start of the season there’s a load of players that aren’t going to pay any attention to pvp outside of the first set for weekly, simply lose fights or are only going to do it once per day. If you try bagging on day 1 you’re likely to end up with a list full of them and wall yourself.
You didn’t drink Kashino breastmilk and this is what happened

Avrora drank breastmilk and got 2600, well, the guy that got 2600 did anyway



is it over if i didnt move right after reset 
- bag as normal
- eat first 3 attempts, but bag the other 2 on 2nd set.
- use 4 exers, then at 2nd set, use the fifth so that you get rushers. idk this part, so ask Pink Sugar as for this strat
no lmao. I've got #1s with sub-130 starts
102 after 4 
oh wait i misinterpreted 
5th exercise will give you 22 pts. You wait a few mins into the 2nd set until your score +22 puts you about r60-80. At that point everyone ahead of you on your list should have already moved at least one exercise so you've got a guaranteed first rusher for the set.
It's assuming you did the first part right and are around 140 score after 5. It won't work with 124 since that is probably under r300 while 140 is t10

so if I keep at 122 pts at 6/10 for about, say, 5 minutes on the 2nd set. I go to #70~ rank once I eat an exercise?
Say, if Juneau is the last one alive using MSN, am I doing something wrong?
Yes
While Harbin and Ancho died?
technically the ones really needing the juneau heal are the backlines, could have a match where juneau's your last bodyguard and then heals your backline enough to survive opponent backline's punishment
ancho and/or harbin could die before then, for all that is
in most cases, juneau should be either the first or second to die in a stall fleet
isn't the vg in MSN a stall one?
yes
Wait what are you running on your vanguard anyway
Like equips
Usually you adjust Juneau's auxes
No, offtank
All eva auxes. No speed
Boilers?
Since the Aurora Noctis rerun upcoming. Invest in a Teatorp for Harbin. Get the black aux torp ASAP
Then yeah. Boiler + black torp aux on Harbin, Boiler+Gyro or Double Gyro on Juneau
Manjuu + Kicks on Ancho. Slap the Beaver on NJ
Black torp.... Noctis shop?
Yes, farmable as well iirc
dropped in d1
if I don't have manjuu and kicks, can I use the same gears?
Manjuu, just MLB the Yorktowns
Kicks, farm 60 stages in Passionate Polaris SP War archive d3

Oh yeah, forgot about the Pearl lol
am sleepy
kicks + manjuu 4 ancho
blacj torp + pearl 4 harbin
double gyro or boiler + gyro 4 juneau, choose which.
It probably won't even be 5 mins, 2 maybe 3 at most.
Demn forgot about that
why am i playing caked fleets at 10/10 start of season 
Gaming
I always use an ass fleet, gotta do something for the avroran community
The fleet is also ass

go outside and raise your fists
okay
there will be a tricky gimmick that could mess up your runs called the police, you can get the hang of it and dodge them and win
so true. Also watch out for the gangs
whats a good BB team in pvp without vangy
who what
check the tierlist in pins, it has like 3 BB fleets for pvp
Vanguard?
musashi - nj - fdg
other options for 3rd bb include tamaki, seydlitz, biszwei (copium)
why not include vanguard there though unless if you wanna run fdg
i missed vangy
could agir or brest be used as a subtitute for anchorage for now cause of me fumbling and using catchup on AvP when i had implacable
well can just substitute with fdg for similar performance.
Dev10 Anchorage can do the tanking job just fine
thats nice, anchorage truly is rather flexible
so ancho when im finished grinding ply exp with a single british ship (a very good idea) juneau and ayanami cause no shima
Clem good for pvp?
:pepega:
Rather than flexible, her skillset just broken, do work on her regardless, last major tanking buff at dev 25
now since harbin has fate is she better than shima or the tierlist stays the same for the doc file?
Harbin fate changed nothing other than her barrage and slight stats
crazy that people still think fatesim gonna be like retrofit levels of improvement
wait till they release fatesim 2
cos of PR4
MP and AvP got so much
pr1 augment mods when 
Monarch augment will make her barrage proc 100% and enemy hit by her barrage take 50% more damage from BB and it also reveal cv
and also gives 15% eva rate to backline 
is a backline of bistwo (when the blackhole is slightly closer to attackers side) musashi (maybe NJ?) and fdg good enough for defense?
Literally anything is good enough for defense because defense gives you nothing
other than making people suffer
To make people suffer you just use hiryuu + enty with manjuu
that and stupidly tough vg
maybe if they give you a defense history log would it matter
only see the suffering when you're in high ladder and your comps unique and hard lol
realistically you're only gonna wall newbies/weaker players
they really should give a penalty or even just a history log on defense
the best defense fleet is whatever is you're running on offense cause why would you go anything else to be honest
The best defence fleet is a lolibote fleet 
(I overcapped because of deathkt Yakuza defence fleet once
)
Yakuza 
Sucks 
Dw, not as bad as Beth losing to pve Bisshit
Bisshit is shit
Just giving away free wins
Yeah i only lost to what was probably pve gear Yakuza 

Honestly if it werent for anchorage she would be so cracked rn
👀
skills looking promising for off-tank replacement no?
META being meta?! 
nah run her as tank to proc 3rd skill torp spam
She looks good for stall to be honest
does her 3rd skilll torp launch on death blow trigger the 1st skill torp barrage?
meta mecha meta 
@lusty hill Your new Shima is here
I think she would be a new shima assistant rather than a new shima
Maybe even better than harbin
Shhh, let Serenity cope
You're right, my bad
would need shima offtank for the 25% boost
Why off tank?
She has preload
Ah
I suppose her being middle and zombie could justify her enough to put shima off tank
Would need to see how good the barrage is first though
I'm still curious if her 3rd skill double torp launch triggers the torp barrage twice from her 1st?
Jintsuu meta shimakaze killer 
What Ancho? it's time for 3 blacktorp meta 
Wrong ping 
.
she unironically seems broken to buff ayanami and harbin
It would
harbin isn't IJN
Do you guys think jintsuu meta could revive zoomer frontline

jintsuu meta gonna revive torp meme frontlines 
She would probably replace harbin unless her torps so good that she can replace shima and keep in harbin
Could probably be used in msn to stall out longer
If the new UR is meta and a backline I'm gonna try an USSless fleet again 
jintsuu meta looks like a godsend for non shima havers (me)
would require Shima for MSN since she's not IJN
Oh right, shinanos 3 ijn buff
I'm guessing the first skill refers to specifically torps fired from her gear which would be different from the torps fired from the thrid skill dpesite being physically the same
unless it does count in which case pog
realistically she's just Birmingham but with double torp launch on death
If her barrage numbers are rly good she will have a big shot
I use birmi so 
from the wording of the skill it seems like it's her own torps and not a torp barrage
@deep hemlock Curious but is there a way to check if the torp launch from 3rd skill triggers her 1st skill in the datamine?
uhh who is this for

Jintsuu META
tbh i'm not sure
Aight thanks. Will have to test it ingame then.
is there any ship with same skill ish
Am not sure
tell me the result later 
that requires to get Jintsuu META first tho
i'll ask somehow who know later
Thanks
naganami is similar torp wise but doesn't have barrage
naganami 
Messenger app overlay?

since ayanami has higer rld than jintsuu meta does that mean they won't sync other than preload?
Ayanami surving to fire a 2nd time 
goldburn
my ayanami does 
Yeah, so does mine
she will always be good in bed
I tried it on Famine's fleet and she got 2 waves off generally, occasionally a third if I get bad rng
I mean, that's a given

but I'm thinking Jintsuu front, aya mid, shima back
torpmemes returns
amagi to dodge teatorp 
inb4 IJN UR is Amagi II

Heh
Jintsuu Meta looks interesting
Hmm, she is Meta
So doesn’t count towards Shinano’s IJN req
Mhm so Shima still needed in MSN
Perhaps an offense oriented fleet without Shinano
yakuza revival 
gridman
She looks like the death of ayanami 
oh wait that already happens 3 seconds into the fight 
Her zombie skill looks cool though and could make for interesting gear builds with pearl
Actually nvm they'd just be standard sandwich torp ship builds 
when 1 Juneau is not enough, they gotta add a 2nd one
What Juneau II? Jintsuu META is Hiryuu vanguard mode
The part where there's a bug that doesn't get fixed right away 
tf is this
Should I farm warchive for blacktorps

I hope they will add them in some shop.
So has warchive made asw torp obsolete barring for ships like Juneau which don't want blacktorp
whenever i see boys and girls
selling lanterns on the street
how much print I need to craft a black torp?
25

I'm gonna use JintM as a cope shima replacement
No one used a Dev 30 Kearsarge yet?
Is my fleet ok
I don't have any of those, I could share my dock tho
Hiryuu>Enty and FDG and Harbin are better than Bis2 and Helena
hmm what torp vanguard do you have if you don't have Noshi/Aya/Harbin.
He's from LE so I doubt there's many options for him
Noshiro+Juneau is better from what me and Aldarn tried there
Ig Yukikaze works as well
What dev level is your Friedrich?
FdG, NJ, Hiryuu
Anchorage, Yukikaze, Juneau
would be his best ig?
assuming dev30 FdG at least
26
yeah focus on devving FdG
I am
Bis2 is still your better option right now then
wait do you have Hiryuu?
no lol
For now replace Enty with Independence and Helena with Otto
ok thanks, then I'll work on hiryuu meta
no not Hiryuu META
Both Enty and Helena needs too much RNG to do anything
normal Hiryuu
yeah
Yes
o ok
Only the purple one has the invincibility skill
And she has a retro so her being purple isn't a big deal
she also can be retro'd
oh I didn't know
alrighty
wait I do have her mlb, I was confusing her with someone else
in the long term would Otto or Yuki be better for him as the sandwich?
Right now Otto is better because she's higher level
Hopefully I can get shimakaze but idk when she'll be back
Shima's gonna prob be a while
You can get Jintsuu META soon and she looks very good
raising her skills is gonna be a slight pain. made slightly easier due to meta skill books
I'll definetly build her, but it'll take a while yeah
also other than ships what's important as well is your gear
what gear are you running?
Juneau wants a DD gun. give the kicks to Anchorage
Have you unlocked the other gear from memento? The Manjuu damage control and pearl tears are very important if you wanna try PvP
I haven't gotten those
hey guys do i rainbow torp or quad torp on harbin
teatorps for pvp
The ones from gearlab
either teatorps or the uss mag torps
You use them together with the auxiliary that drops from D1 stage in Aurora noctis
let's say i don't competitive pvp and i don't wanna change gears from pve, which is slightly better
or does it not matter
This one probably works for PvE too and you can try using it without the auxiliary for torps
if harbin is in mob fleet for pve in OpSi does it really matter if she has teatorps + black torp?
don't think it would matter that much right
unless she isn't in mob
doesn't it shoot straight tho
Who should I put those on, if I'm running indi, bis, nj, anchor, otto, juneau for now
Manjuu on Anchorage and Pearl on Otto
ancho. some people do run nj manjuu
alright
You'll also need 2 of these for your BBs or they are gonna be too slow to fire
That does seem real good, where to I get that
research
do you also have uh another of the AA that you put on BisZ
or like the upgrade to that
if you have give it to NJ as well
Also get these guns from gear lab to replace the ones you're using right now, they're too slow for PvP too
o ok, I'm going to make note of these things because they'll take a while to upgrade
wait since we just had an event where the FdG gun was dropped in D3 (bisZ event), do you think FdG gun would be a great intermediary for now?
You can get one of the rainbow one using prototype cores on this shop
oh nice
Maybe, if it's only on one of the BBs it's probably good enough but on both the damage they do to backlines will probably decrease too much
@midnight stirrup Do you have this gun or enough prints to craft it?
It should be better than the one you're using on NJ right now and you can use it until you get the gold AP gun from gearlab
tbh I don't even see it in the crafting menu and I don't have one
Then just keep the ones you're using for now
You can get it from gearlab too but it's better if you instead save resources and get the other gun I showed you first since it's way better
I'll try to get those
Btw I have a unrelated question, did you find an active guild already? I saw some guilds on LE were dying already 
I'm not in any guild, no
Wanna join ours? We have the only people who care about PvP lol
Sure :D
Apply to the Church of Shimakaze who has Lil Deathkt as the leader
Your ign is also bednap, right?
poaching lil E players
also about this, isn't beaver tag better than kicks?
you run beaver tag on your backline usually
actually yeah you run beaver tag on the backline and have Manjuu + kicks on anchorage
Accepted you already. Join our discord later, it's in the guild description
alright thanks :)
got it
is there even any other guilds on LE that care about PvP as much as church of shima
I didn't even know pvp guilds were a thing
Literally only 5 baggers and all are church of shima 
yeah isn't bagging in Lil E real pain a bit?
"Bagging on LE" 
It’s pretty easy, you just forget about pvp until reset then do your 5
You can't bag if there's no one to get a bonus from

sniping time
I've been bagged

JintM looking good so far hmm? Which part
3s invincibility and double torpedo launch when dying
So would ancho jintM harb be viable 

as a semi-aggro comp yes
probably
but we wont fully know how good she will truly be until... 3 weeks later
so stay tuned
let's ditch ancho
Bagging meta on lil E is pretty fun, you keep bagging until you accidentally overcap on week 2 but you still make eos anyway since pvp is dead and 2560 is highest rn
how long do you think it'll take until Lil E gets its first 2600
There’s 2 train of thoughts currently
- Jintsuu Meta serves as the 3rd slot in frontline
- And Jintsuu Meta serves as a Shima substitute
She could be quite viable in both positions
However there might be some exceptions if there are ship requirements
Like for MSN with Shinano’s 3 IJN req
So she would be more effective in Yakuza or triple BB
The other thing of note is that if you want to maximize her buff, she would have to fire her torps earlier than Shima
Ofc if you don’t have Shima, no need to concern yourself with this
Or if you do have Shima, you could still choose to ignore this buff and have it work for Shima’s barrages instead of torp launches
serenity's new toy
pretty neat if that were the case, worth dropping Harbin for Jintsuu META though?
i would drop anchorage for jintsuu meta
opponent anchorage won't matter if all my vanguard manage to snipe their backline
snipe manjuu nj
Torp meme meta revival 
Jintsuu was still strong during triple torp meta days
Just that Ancho’s release among other changes reduced their effectiveness
Jintsuu Meta is basically Jintsuu with less damage for more survivability
Which tbh now that I think about it, she is more similar to a Noshiro than she is to a Jintsuu

just got word from the boys in the lab and they say a new T0 is on it's way 


Why perseus and that musashi gun
Wtf we rly r on torp meme revival
Ohh wait that swordfish
I'm starting to see the vision
Slow down vanguard so they eat toro
Torp*
Never seen that mushi gun though


nah Kii is for jp anni when we get ijn torp boat and everyone runs musashi/kii/hiei
hiei??
Inb4 they actually releases Kii as the 4th of Yamato class

30% complete might qualify for UR nowadays
don't worry there will be a cv with preload and fleet carrier with aquila damage to further boost torp damage
can't wait for next UR to be so strong that Kearsarge becomes obsolete before anyone gets her to dev30

(The new ur turns out to synergize with kearsarge and they dominate the meta together)
she will also synergize with yorktown 2
MSN but make it murica

if the new UR was that strong we'd have to somehow have something more powerful than either NJ, Musashi, or Shinano


yep
I've seen lots of jp peeps predicting Enty 2 or Midway
It's gonna be Lexington 2 or any of the Essex class UR

Lexington II is gonna be a SSR in the Laffey II UR event 
I'm tired of being gated by lack of gold bulins. Anyone wanna help me slap together a fleet to climb? 
I'm currently in the 1,500s and the 80 merit per win isn't the business.
#pvp message try that first
Damn, I don't have Musashi, or, Shimakaze. 
you can get by without them, restarting and attacker advantage can fix subpar fleets
Should I filter SR and UR only?
Filter rarity then split by vanguard and main
gridman?
I see Hiryuu META but not normal Hiryuu
I think I have the materials to complete it. I've been busy trying to build Frenchies for Booba's experience grind, so, all my resources been kinda tapped.
Is that a thing in PVP? I fought a few fleets and it seemed kinda effective.
havent used it myself so
I normally just slot ships that I want to give extra experience to on the side, but, the 80 merit per win is annoying and I kinda wanna get better rewards to build gold bulins faster.
heard its a cope interesting comp
Grind man is a meme
well with that roster 
Are the gains that significant when you crack top 1,000, or, higher?
Maybe I'm just wasting more resources and time...
Eh for now you can focus on leveling up Noshi as your torp vanguard
Your vanguard would be like Anchorage, Noshiro, Juneau
I guess +10 more would be nice, but, top 10 seems out of the question.
Backline your options are going mafia (Nj, Aquila, VV), NJ Hiryuu FdG or be like me who runs FdG, NJ, Tamaki
AotN is ez
IDK, I'm missing pretty much everything pre-Implacable.
Musashi and Shimakaze look like staples in higher ranked PVP.
For now your best fleet is something like FdG, Indep, NJ/BisZ for now. I'd replace Indep with Hiryuu, Tamaki or Aquila later on (Preferably the first two)
Eh for ranking top 10 at EoS you can still do it without them. Slightly harder sure but it's not like you can't reach a high score at the end without them both
theyre skippable if u have other good units
I said BisZ because she's higher leveled but NJ is def better than her in pvp so once you 125 her replace BisZ
Anyone else I can use instead of Noshiro? It's going to take a while to accumulate GBs to MLB her.
Duca, Harbin, Yukikakze or even Kazagumo, Agir.
Ayaya if you have 0 gold bulins
Ayanami?
Ye
Cool. Thanks, everyone.
Actually for now the best you can do is prob Otto for now
I'd rather slot someone that can gain experience. Probably gonna use Duca, for now.
If you want to seriously win for merit then I'd take otto instead. Xp from pvp is kind of minor
hit him up with the lil e special
fdg/nj/hiryuu ancho/harbin/juneau
I don't have Harbin, unfortunately.
Probably won't for a while. I need like 80 tech points.
All in guild shop
Defence is irrelevant unless you want to wall new players
ok offense then no URs before impla release
except NJ
current set up is
impla bis2 nj
agir juneau plymouth(dev27)
@hardy jacinth
no harbin as well
Then use JintM 
gotta farm for it

Finally a new pvp player who realized that actually winning fights give you more merits 
I here the whole “I play pvp just for merit lol so I use weak comps and just lose fights but I get free exp” way too often

Even tho free exp from 15 fights per day isn’t a whole lot tbh
If you have Noshiro, use her instead of Agir or Plymouth
Frontline would be Anchorage, Noshi/Yukikaze/Ayanami, Juneau
then backline would be NJ, FdG, Hiryuu

I just got pearl tears, who do I give it to
Repair kit isn't useful in pvp because the heal from it isn't enough to save a vanguard from dying
Meanwhile the reload from gold burn is useful
Also I got Hiryuu retrofitted, but she needs levels
was ibuki any good
she was viable a long time ago but never great
why fdg tho
NJ and FdG are better than Bis Zwei in pvp
Yakuza would have higher winrate than mafia
Believe in the Aoste tech and Mafia will have the highest winrate
I hate how bonus score work.
Just beat rank 100- and I was at 700+
Only +11 
+11 is nice
you get +1 per every 35 points of difference
heres the table with everything
800-900 rank difference between you and your target is probably a telltale sign of +12
depends how close to the reset
to be safe. compare your target's scores to t100 rank guy, then extrapolate a bit
yea no way to check opponents exact points if theyre below 100
Yep, but I do not want to get out of 1000

for merit's sake...
wait why?
also I see a Lexi player
you will just go back there if u fall below
you and him are guildies
I forgot kek
kekw

Get less currency, I do it for bullins. Sitting in top 10 just a nice bonus 
Is that strange tho?
I muted that channel for a while 
Sir Rogro 
is he a good rusher?
What?
I see you on the leaderboard sometimes but never thought you were here on ALO 
I don't remember, barely rolled him 
I'm primary writing in #gameplay-help
Don't think I ever wrote here before today actually

i c then... 
I saw you talked about defense fleets there, is there any of them you though it was challenging besides Phink?
Hmm? If I remember correct that was few days ago, right?
I guess I just made 1st best example of somehow ”challenging” fleet for one newbie
Oh, you meant for newbies
For context #gameplay-help message
