If it says anything early Little E was Enty duels meta and the Torp Memes + Hiryuu + Musashi was worse than that.

What's good everyone. I wanna dispel a common myth about Jintsuu META.

Jintsuu META doesn't need to be in front of vanguards to buff them. She only needs to launch her torps before the other vanguards hit their target for her torp buffs to take effect.

I heard it in gameplay-help closer to her release but never tested it, so here's a video demonstration: https://youtu.be/htrTsuk5Gio?si=YBTgmNgrxWt6dqpq

0:21 Shima dmg alone: 3.4k
0:53 Shima dmg with Jintm behind: 4.2k
1:07 Shima dmg with Jintm lead: 4.2k

Jintm only needs to launch her torps before Shima's torps hit the target.

So you're saying the skill works how it's written

#

#

Was kota todo right all along, with off-tank JintM?

whole terrace
#

For example you would see ppl criticise the order of ancho shima jintm for that reason

zenith lantern
#

With 2 torp launches you're probably ok. But if you have Jintsuu off-tank there's probably enough delay that the tank position would miss the buffs. And they certainly would if the vanguards start the fight travelling towards each other as sometimes happens.

whole terrace
#

Reason I wanted to share is because I just checked out the tier list, where it's now included jintm shima laffii, which is cool since it's a good vanguard.

That said, the statement that "Jintsuu META in the tank position will launch her torpedoes first and thus buff both Shimakaze and Laffey II's torpedoes." implies she couldn't be placed elsewhere

In my experience, laffii jintm shima is a stronger order, and this is one of the reasons why

ocean quest
#

why

whole terrace
ocean quest
#

what do you need laffey 2 in tank for

whole terrace
#

Two main reasons

  • it allows her to fire her two rounds of torps (the invul skill) after enemy fortm is dead
  • it increases the survivability of the vg in general
ocean quest
#

how will laffey dying faster increase the survivability of vgs

#

and if your jintsuu lives to fire a 2nd salvo the you're fighting someone you will have 100% wr against anyway

#

so

whole terrace

ocean quest
#

meta fleets will just kill your vgs quickly

#

(vgs that arent laffey)

#

no matter their position

#

That's an interesting way to look at it. in my experience Jintm can straight up survive until her third round against meta teams, never mind second

Thanks RenownThumbsUp

keen silo
lusty hill
#

you probably can get more by rushing on aotn

#

you'll get 100 merits per win instead of 90

#

with 9 win it's an extra 90 merits, literally 1 win ahead of everyone

#

on average I usually get 24 of 100 merits, meaning I get 240 extra merits ahead of everyone

what for torpedo?

#

what aviable now. i can craft anything that is not OPSI

hybrid agate

Tea Torps looks good on ur setup.

languid plank

#

check 📌 document under Gear Breakdown, Laffey II has her own section of gears for PvP

languid plank
#

and in gear breakdown the other alternative is this

#

which i also cant

#

why is everything OPSI these days.. where the fick do u even get this materials? like how many hundreds of hours u need to grind

hybrid agate
#

you can use quad mag torps as 3rd option if you lack the recommended torps

languid plank
#

these?

hybrid agate
languid plank
#

alright thank you so much for the help

hybrid agate
#

to add, if you use the mag torp, you can change the black torp aux to other aux alternatives like HP based or Boilers

languid plank
#

sry to annoy again. but i try to gear mainfleet now and i encountered more issues.

  1. im confused about the aux gear setups the google doc mentions. there is only one of them.<
  2. some of the aux needed conflicts with what the same google doc said about using it for vanguard.
  3. my soyuz is not rdy yet. who should i use as alternative
  4. the usual " i cant create x gear from gear lab " what to use as alternative.
    beware i gonna spam a few pictures
    first the vanguard setup
    then my 2 BB's setup
    3rd my UR ships.
    sorry for that in advance
hybrid agate
#

my opinion is not 100% reliable but here's my take based on the doc

      1. check the gear breakdown, it has explanation on the aux interaction that could help explain some replacements or swaps, which goes to main or vanguard - if there are specific aux you're unsure, then open the conversation
  1. check the tier list for 3rd Main Fleet Ship; you actually have a lot of options here to choose from. choose the one you like. then go from there.
#

on your pictures, I don't see Pearl Tears and WNT; it could help on the fleet ur making

zenith tundra
# languid plank sry to annoy again. but i try to gear mainfleet now and i encountered more issue...

1-2) if there is only one you have to use other similar gear, like HSFCR instead of AFCT, or evasion/speed gear instead of beaver badge depending if backline or vanguard respectively
3) vanguard for now till soyuz is high level 120+
4) what gear are you actually missing? hard to give alternatives when you don't specify

on musashi use washington naval treaty(sg works too but worse)/beaver (remove from laffey) and hpfcr
would change double hp aux on fortune to 1 speed (boiler) and pearl tears and 1 boiler laffey instead of mag torpedo or 2 boiler on fortune if you want to keep mag torpedo but not really worth without line torpedoes. in case you swap beaver to musashi use boiler mag torp laffey and pearl tears boiler fortune (mag torp still very questionable without line torp). your vg is really slow with that setup.
could swap all aa guns to staag tbh (including vg), almost no cv in any meta fleet these days, alternative is twin 134 for fp instead of hit on vg.
swap aux gun on nj to twin 137 mk1, ap shells have much better shell speed then normal ammo which matters a lot (if you don't have/cant make it, that's fine for now)

So I’ve decided to test Soyuz recently, and I sadly haven’t been taking many SS but she’s somehow consistently getting 30-40k dmg a fight, does her barrage do shit tons more dmg then I realise or something. She 100% outperforms both my NJ and BisZ that’s for sure

Ofc she would outperform BisZwei, that's a pretty low bar

# floral sedge Why +11

You fought your leftmost opponents, if you look closely that persom rank is significantly higher than you which means that they also have higher seasonal score. If you beat someone with higher seasonal score you get bonus points from the win

#

You can check the pin for the minimum score difference to get a bonus points

floral sedge
#

why not +12

lusty hill
#

You need 70 points difference to get +12 which is very rare

#

If you ask how to get opponents with that point difference then it's just based on luck entirely

Hello I’m looking to get a little better at PVP but don’t have some ships that are recommended in the PvP guides so was wondering if someone could possibly help me out?

#

And if someone could show me how to create a thread so that I don’t spam this chat with my fleet

hollow walrus
#

just send your dock here filtered by rarity with main fleet first and vanguard second

#

no one really uses this much anyways so just send your dock here. no need for thread

So these are my main fleet ships I can add my elites if needed

My Hakuryuu is only dev 30

# peak kernel Is she better for PvP?

The thing is that uvh is not really good for pvp. Unless you want to put her on flag position.
Her self damage debuff (which is -45%) will stack with pvp class mod which is also -20% and WNT (another -15% if present on any side) making her deal effectively 20% of damage you may expect her to deal normally.
On other hand Rechelieu have preload, self stat buffs and crit (Im not sure if ut works in pvp tho, but even if no she is still have more damage)

Dang I didn’t know UvH had such a bad debuff kinda makes me wish I never invested in her 🤦🏾‍♂️

I can start a thread or post them separately if that's hard to look at

holy shit all +13

#

not everything is +13

lusty hill
#

honestly this is already best

#

the only improvement probably +13 the gun on soyuz

wheat torrent
#

yeah, that would be pvp only, right?

lusty hill
#

yeah

wheat torrent
#

+13 the DD guns on NJ and Soyuz won't improve things much, huh

#

those guns are pvp BB guns only, so that's super sweaty

lusty hill
#

it is an improvement but not game changing

#

I wouldn't do it

wheat torrent
#

k, probably better to do more +13 ply guns

lusty hill
#

also maybe you need speed aux for laffey

wheat torrent
#

how much better is hinde with 2x her gun at +13 instead of +10?

wheat torrent
#

would you get rid of rainbow torp or black torp?

lusty hill
#

laffey doesn't have amazing torps anyway

wheat torrent
lusty hill
#

I use black torp and boiler

#

idk if it scale of torps but it did have torps modifier

wheat torrent
#

boiler better than one of these?

lusty hill
#

but still the damage isn't that amazing compared to jintmeta

lusty hill
#

I used it and rarely lose

wheat torrent
#

wirbel is 400 hp 4 spd
boiler is 245 hp 8 spd (at +10)

lusty hill

could be interchangable

but I use boiler

there's also beaver tag which I'm not using

no speed up on NJ @zinc phoenix ?

but i had two +13 georgias and regardless timings were conflictring

i thought you want treaty on your flag ship

but it still has very useful stats

lusty hill

is hit and eva worth it over other items?

lusty hill
#

especially you stil want beaver for musashi

boreal comet
#

Still slower than just running hpfcr on NJ

#

Same with Soyuz without mk4

zinc phoenix
#

I have a +13 georgia gun, that's quite a bit more than a gold, and timings were still conflicting a little i think

wheat torrent
#

i don't have a second +13 georgia

zinc phoenix
#

then your setup is probably better

wheat torrent
#

is it worth making another +13 georgia for pve anything?

zinc phoenix
#

I mostly made mine after finagling with it and not wanting a +13 mk4

boreal comet
#

I'd ditch wnt on sushi and run beaver

wheat torrent
zinc phoenix
#

and yeah, wnt on flagship for such a comp isn't rly desirable

boreal comet
#

Just skip

wheat torrent
#

i'll put beaver on musashi, boiler on laffey. sound good?

zinc phoenix
#

you have a +13 mk4, skipping would be better since timings fit better

wheat torrent
#

I don't have a +13 mk4 tho

#

it's only +10

boreal comet

Works fine

#

Faster barrage is more valuable

#

NJ makes up for alpha damage

The final stats are known without upgrading, it's 640 HP each

buoyant parrot
#

thanks

#

so its actually a better Zapdoz or Celestial Body

#

Interesting

#

Goldburn is

Goldburn: Changes the BGM when equipped. If the ship with this gear equipped is in your Vanguard or is an SSSS collab character: increases the ship's RLD by 38. If your Flagship is a CV or CVL: launches a special support barrage 25s after the battle starts.

#

Cyanidin seems pretty cool for tank

narrow aspen

Mhm
Alas for my gold plates DidoCry

#

Incidentally, was a conclusion ever reached for the RPG Interface? Worst-case it's a 550 HP aux ye, but is its RNG worth giving up something like the Goldburn or nah

buoyant parrot
#

for PvP I don't think so

#

Cyanidin: At the start of the battle, generate a barrier that can absorb up to 2% of this ship's max HP for 15s.

This is kinda okay, at least for me specially for ships where you put the Pearl with

#

By rafff

#

So shield = (Base ship HP + HP from aux) * 0.02

#

It also counts the pvp buff for HP

#

0.9 + 0.012*Ship level

#

Assuming the ship in question is Laffey 2 from your example

#

(2724 + 640) * 2.4 * 0.02 = 161.47 HP shield

#

You can increase this further by running a second HP aux item

lusty hill
#

that shield will instantly gone just by jintsuu meta gun damage ShiSleep

whole salmon
#

But only negligible

lusty hill
#

also takes up an aux slot

whole salmon
#

When comparing with other 640 HP aux

#

It is superior in terms of survivability

#

If you wanna trade that for +35 reload or an RNG chance for buff then be by guest

#

I already said it isn’t high on the priority list but saying it has no practical use is definitely underselling the value

That wasn't even directed at you. I coined the term because the game itself seems to have shifted tone since then, not necessarily for the better. (Lazier designs, clearly unfinished work, negative QA, etc.)

Don't underestimate the value of a 1.05 multiplier when it's being stacked on top of a ton of other multipliers

lusty hill
whole salmon
#

Sometimes the math just works in interesting ways

#

Take the 2% HP shield on new item

#

(1878+1230)2.40.02 = 149

#

Which means Towel is 789 HP stat stick

#

Compared to Celestial Body’s only 640 HP for example

#

Toolkit is 550 HP and Celestial Body 640, meaning there’s a 110 HP gap

#

So essentially the gap between Towel and Celestial Body is bigger than the gap between Celestial Body and Tool Kit

#

Off of only a measly 2% HP shield

whole salmon
whole salmon
#

Conversion of 5% damage is so much more than some TRP stat

#

Sometimes the math just works

narrow aspen
#

Out of curiosity, can I take it from the calculation above that, between Laffey II and FortM in the distribution of 640 HP auxes, you would prefer FortM with the Cyanidin towel

whole salmon
#

Common rule is that final multiplier always beats stat increase if both are of the same percentage

#

By quite a large margin at that

whole salmon
#

I’m running it on Fortune M to replace Wirbel Luft since my average speed is still high enough

narrow aspen
#

Fair enough, I imagine it's a little early PortDoll
I suppose I should just try it out swapping between the two... only wish I had the resources to +13 it straightaway...

whole salmon
# lusty hill 5% lul

Let’s do some maths time:

Shimakaze

  • Main stat: 609 TRP
  • Slot efficiency: 170%
  • Rainbow torp: 190 x 5, 118% coefficient, 70 TRP
  • Oxygen torpedo: 118 TRP
  • Black aux torp: 85 TRP, 5% increased damage
  • Augment: 35 TRP
  • Skill: 12% increase damage with torpedo

Scenario 1: 1 black aux

  • 20,147.52
    Scenario 2: 1 oxy torp
  • 19,892.46
    Scenario 3: 1 black aux 1 oxy torp
  • 22,792.02
    Scenario 4: 2 oxy torp
  • 22,411.03
#

Downside is ofc it only works on the first wave

#

Without the 5% damage increase, it does less than oxygen torpedo

#

Which further highlights the 5% increase

#

Reverse engineering the formula, 5% damage = 50 TRP stat

narrow aspen
#

My only question is why augment 23 TRP, is it not 35?
And I guess technically we have another 1.08 multiplier since I'm pretty sure the target gets slashed by skill 1
But that's uniform across the entire calculation so it'll divide out of ratio regardless

whole salmon
#

Originally I didn’t even intend to put in the 12% damage increase

narrow aspen
#

Mhm

whole salmon
#

I’ll change the augment calc

#

But I doubt it would affect much

narrow aspen
#

Ye it'd be negligible in view of the gigantic number, just my OCD got triggered PortDoll

whole salmon
#

Ok it’s fixed

whole salmon
#

When Birmingham’s 30% eva rate got switched to 40% eva stat
