You mean AkashiCoin?
Terrible start, but maybe decent enough for Sandy. 134
i was on the road this season so no top 100, but you were around r30 when i checked
now that you have revealed it, I will now
I tried that before and the game bugged out and I only got 4 exercises on the new season even though I ended last fight with like 9s left on the timer, I wouldn't recommend it
lmao

Jarvis, upload the clip leaderboard
Tbf you could do it at 20 sec and it'll be the same result
game takes a business day to load ending screen
guys top 50 and top 51 is the same right?
Because Ark Royal got sent to horny jail
what is the theoretical best fleet with kearsarge?
alsace and soyuz?
or nj /musashi
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL182NQE0xijpeWGPdKs0PP1CQQGZOpumA&si=YeFqr-tF7tNWxMFN
A compilation of my PvP tests so far
should i sub fdg for musashi and put her as flagship?
Musashi Soyuz Kearsarge probably
Yeah probably
Do you have NJ? Sub her with Vanguard as well
Also should get Laffey II or another torp ship to replace Sandy
i have her, but i have other bulin priorities
and no, if i had laffey2 she would definetly be there
, i missed her
probably i will use z52 instead of sandy when ready
someone already tried her or since she probably is worse for the role than laffey2 nobody tried?
best fleet atm is musashi alsace soyuz
z52 does not have the skills laffey 2 has that made her so fuckin tanky
and the ability to proc manjuu's skill
yep, but she should fare better than my sandy as offlead tank i hope?
that was not the question, i can read the pins
id go with juneau
maybe
ah, musashi soyuz kearsarge, you can let her go last in the firing order.
but that fleet kind of finicky to gear with
for all i know, there's not much reason to use kear back then so i didn't bother gearing it out 
juneau use
yeah eld might make your fights inconsistent with her invuln preventing her from letting juneau die, though sacrificing some chunk of AA dmg for a massive heal on death is worth it
manjuu may go on eld or ancho, your preference
thx for info!
damn I got 6 bonus as a petty officer rank 441 attacking 210
Damn I got nothing
ha take that
I’m just gonna bag


Ancient name from many years ago lol
Is the pvp strat to wait till I have 10 attempts then attack so I can get more bonuses since everyone else has moved
thats what bagging is yes
The trick is don't wait too long because you generally want more than one bonus per set
and it's harder to roll them by sheer rng while climbing except during captain rank

this list 💀
Use Borgar strats, if nobody moves in 30 min, refresh or do 1 exercise
searching for movers 
@trail temple reset the count
:serenitydisarm:
Not only that I overcap, my commission also got messed up
Is this a new strat?
Ignoring pvp strats
Days since Serenity lost: 0

It haven't even been 2 full days since season started, should be fighting all scrubs rn
what are some of the best teams you can make without laffey II? I see her somewhat often and my team is probably really outdated
Check the pins
can i use hakuryuu as an enty upgrade
I was distracted at work and overcap
Also you don't even pvp
Opinion rejected
haku doesn't have immunity
Nope
Just finished maxing the last skill on my Z52. shes 125, and oathed. Any testing scenarios I can help with?
Try z52 replacing jintM in standard comp, and compare the winrate of this new comp and jintM standard comp
Cool. Loan me a Laffey 2 and an eldy retro then 🙂
dangit nvm then 
I was thinking running Z52, Anchorage, and Shima with Pearl on Shima, with Mushashi flag, NJ, Aquila and see how long it lasts.
cosplaying 2022 meta with end of year 2024 ships
Everything old is new again!
it would be miracle if you can suddenly beat
the current meta fleets in 5 tries or less
I can do that now with Anch, Shima, Jeau kai
z52 has flagship cover like hamamamaman II so 
can use that w/ sushi 
Thats a thought....
honestly i would be surprised
if somehow she enters the meta as another counter to foxfleet
Add in WNT for ultimate stall
we can finally say goodbye to jintM?
though i doubt gunning the opponent frontline down is that worth it nowadays
jintM is so 2023
Honestly Laff2, Eldy, Z52 should be super fucking strong
I mean z52 is probably strictly stronger than felix right?
For sure. The constant damage from her skill should be super useful
And the AA buff may wind up neutering foxwall, if it triggers fast enough
and then the rest is just comparing z52 to jintM
the issue is jintm can 1v2 a full health backline by herself
and 1v3 a low health one entirely
You could probably time her slash to wyvern remove the torpedoes from both launches
she's definitely better against foxwall but that's the only thing she excels at
everything else she's strictly worse than jintm
how well does foxwall work as defense with only +10 planes
Not that well, simply doesn't do enough damage
that's wild 💀
when should one start keeping exercises at 5 instead of 0?
Now actually
Fact
right before every reset
I usually start doing it 20-10m before reset or when I'm about to sleep
Btw if you are at 5 now should keep on 5
I am at 6 now, trying to get 1 bonus hopefully before 11
oh no I lost once
ok dw I will get even with bonuses
who is it for
I don't think soyuz gun is even best for pvp
mk7 for alsace
He means Mk4
mk4 is cheaper to +13 and you can upgrade it to 457 to refund the gold plates
mk4 then mk7 imo
RIP season. Fell asleep and overcapped 5...

Overcapped since Tuesday, feels good
Is this the ignoring pvp strats
Retiring strats > PvP strats > Serenity strats
Time to retire then 
are u allowed to retire without a r1
You aren't allowed to retire if you r1
If bill gates retire and shut down Microsoft, a lot of people will lose their job
If top players retire then pvp will die
If they stop caring then why they still updating the merit shop :champogWide:
Giving someone slops counts as caring? Guess we grew up differently then
yes but eldrige, one ship that is only available through merit shop got op retrofit for pvp
ahaha pvp to get eldridge to get better pvp, it's a cycle
she's literally on merit shop
she's a UR retro, which requires this item
it's not available normally

EN moment.
like yuudachi retro item, it'll probably be 2 full years until it goes into the specialized core shop
which means she'll rerun in 2026
So mad I came back from my break literally 3 weeks after that event...

sometimes i notice my backline ships losing 30-40%hp without getting hit by bb or barrages while i don't seem to get the same effect, is it the tea torpedo effect?
you can move your camera and see for yourself
yep, i know; apparently there are torpedoes hitting my bb, but i am not sure if they are tea torpedo since they have skins, tho i can tell they move straight
They're tea torps
It's the best torps for pvp it on the guide on the pin
is 5/7 +13 rainbow planes enough to be competitive on foxwall defense or just run the regular 3bb? also, any noticeable issues with my fleets? all + levels are accurate
You need frontier medal on your flagship (usually Shinano) and Beaver on Amagi for CV fleets, and all CVs in the fleet needs Sceptres. Soyuz wants the AFCT actually, swap Beaver put it on Musashi instead of WNT, and Alsace gets regular HPFCR. Otherwise plane loadout is fine, but you need at least 4 +13 Wyverns across Shinano, Akagi, and Amagi
Anyone who uses Eldridge Retroit in their defense fleet, I sincerely hope you stub your toe on a door
Honestly, Manjuu was like: "Fuck Exercises, Plymouth, rainbow ships and fleet comps that blitz 15-4. let's just arbitrarily add a skill that makes an ugly as sin loli + the vanguard immortal for 10 seconds."
Okay fixed thanks for the advice!
If I don't use it, I'll feel like I've wasted my rings 🥲
someone at hq clearly a fan given how much love she gets
put the +13 wyvern from shinano's first slot to akagi's tb slot
swap wyverns
you want as much crash dmg as possible and you're gimping that with a +10 wyvern on akagi
imo, use afct on alsace and hsfcr on soyuz, reasoning is that alsace lacks hit/acc stat with pearl as her 2nd aux. fmp+hsfcr gives enough
oh, laff-ii wants speed, use a boiler on her instead of crystal ice bomb since that gives eva stat, which dds already have a lot of. diminishing returns.
there's the concept of fast average speed, which basically boils down to having an acceptable range of speed for the frontline. It's at 50 speed, give or take some. Figure it out with calculation
other than those, i find no issues
Nothing good will come by being a serenity
Just use your own eldrige
They haven't seen dank torpedo memes on defense
Gods do I still have a skill issue against defenses like that
Lies.
||Devs never cared about it from the get-go||
Wait until you run into Pilica
I meant like in general. 
Like around the server.
By that you mean Discord or AL server?
ALO.
He left ALO a few months ago
Oh, huh, what happened?
Idk
Alo is dying just like pvp
upcheers too
found him on climb but their ARSE is good
should show up on the later part of season as aotn rusher
pilica left because alo shenanigans
his reason to stay got lost after a certain thread got nuked
dickheaded red name

Gph when someone asks a question
Some thread
I liked that place
What was the thread?
The abdou thread (?)
elp
It was originally someone’s help thread , but got turned into a thread of many ideas and off topic lol
Until it got nuked rip
Oh lmao.
Sounds like a buzzkill mod
Sounds like a ALO mod

best pvp game ever, tf happened
Welcome to Bayard/Hipper Meta freeze defense strat
Think I posted some videos of it earlier
there was only hipper meta here btw, lineup was amagi - - lala devilduke dewey and hipper meta; and yes i can't end a single fight before it freezes
Literally stall meta

Hi bit new to pvp, for all CV back line (fox wall let's say) any recommendations on the auxiliary slot? Is steam catapults good enough or do we run beacon and fuel tanks to reduce load times?
Why use fox wall?
I have it set up since a while, duo what's meta back line now..
I have most UR just never bothered to change my attack fleet, I thought of upgrading it
Do note that Fox Wall is only a good defense fleet but it's questionable as an attack fleet.
Check pins for further details.
Yes.
Thanks! Will Fritz be added to pvp thanks to her revive thing and gun or is it still in debate?
no lol, too incompatible
make it red 
add: its a stall team so don't use to attak
It's all clearly laid out, good guide, jut needed to know where this guide was. Like I said, I've been playing for a while just never really paid attention to pvp until now
Make it like red, add arrows, and make it blinking. 
Separate the tierlist as attacking fleet and defense fleet
Stop that janus emote
Cursed
Would unironically be a good suggestion if we had any other good defense fleets tbh
even as a defense fleet, it shouldn't really give you trouble if you run a decent fleet since attacker bonus
What's even the point of a defense fleet
shouldn't you just put on a horrid defense fleet until the last 3 days
To wall off newbs
to make sure they invest into proper equips and pvp comps to actually get merit
too lazy to switch
defense fleet sanddirtbaggers
That just means people will ignore it harder
Might as well make it animated and narrated by a tsun vTuber
Is it alr to use a 457 on a Soyuz for the GoT Fleet? Or will it stagger ?
Well there's at least three cases of horrible defense fleet:
- Newbie food (high level, bad equipment, get newbies to possibly have a chance to earn full XP)
- Stingy lazy (starter defense fleet; free merit, no xp)
- Waifu flex
(If you're going to switch defense fleets,colludedo it every time you're offline, on week 2, or just don't bother)
Considering I had to upgrade said gun for other purposes than PVP
Not really, you're too slow. The gun damage won't make up for the loss of speed
Mk4 is your best bet
felix promoted to waifu fleet 
yeah standard is the best VG atm, z52 potentially could replace felix. when I played Snowmen with Z52 vs Foxwall it looked fine and easy, GoT is still its worst/even matchup imo
Ah how come the felix variation gone from the sheets?
based from the sheet editor "Prowler has made it impossible to outduel an enemy eldy"
so they dropped felix entirely
IIRC Eldridge HP before proc higher on average, and proc has a substantially higher chance of being delayed, which causes vanguard to be invulnerable during Soyuz barrage. So much less of a chance of Felix being able to contribute to killing an Eldridge, and much more reliance on shelling/torpedoes/movement into secondary gun range to kill her instead. On the other hand Felix is inferior to Anchorage and Bayard in stall (no debuff to enemy or invul)
Have tests for z52 over felix been conducted yet?
Tests for Z52 have been conducted yes, although not compared to Felix AFAIK
Pretty decent, but she won't be better than JintsuuM. Probably a sidegrade/slight upgrade to Anchorage/Bayard on offense
from whose testing is this conclusion from?
Faxyne
Arse is great, works every time, 40% of the time
if ur arse only work 40% of the time, see a doctor
I think you need to see a doctor, last couple of days you've been a little too imaginative about faeces and the function of the digestive tract
player vs poop

I never thought that I'd get to discover someone else with an oathed Lv1 shipgirl on the PvP.
1/10000 chances btw.
Wait so it's like she's been sitting in dorm for many years then
Or do U make one of those
dorm would increase their levels
even w no food
lvl 1 oathed ship is possible because of chinese new year blessing + secretary slot
Oh all those event boosting thingy
secretary increases affinity up to 90, with affinity cny boost it breaks that cap and lets them reach 100 affinity
But it takes a while right?
yep
Damm
It's from someone else's fleet that I've found from few hours ago.
Should I allow myself to make a correction for that, that should be a thing, every time a New Year's Blessings and Invitations event would happen on December.
Sadly, that event had just finished.
And we'll have to wait for another year for that to happen, if anyone here would want to oath a Lv1 ship on the game.
Well gota first get a ship to affinity 90
CNY blessing is the only one I could really recall
How does the cny event works on boosting affinity
Was it the wishing thingy?
The one where U write Ur wish on the wood
Next level of flex right there

Is z52 replacing any of the top tier vg or at least be a sidegrade for jintsuu meta ?
not replacing JintM so far, but is good alternative as 3rd with Laffey II and Eldridge; z52 was pretty good against FoxWall but not against the T0 fleets.
What was the pvp comps around 2019? Wasn't it still Akaga or Hiryuu
Some dude told me suruga was good at pvp cause of the 20 second shield , wasn't most comps much faster
IIRC early 2020 was Warsnipe era
So I'd guess you use Suruga instead of Nagato for Suruga/Amagi/Warspite
Also Suruga's shield can proc on battle start, it just has 20 sec cooldown
wasnt hiryuu a better counter to warspite
Not at that time, Hiryuu was replaced by Warspite
I don't think so
VH Armor Plate+Rudder pretty much neutered her weakness to Warspite iirc
🕶️
I use 3rd party app to lower my brightness cuz my stupid phone still too bright at night even at lowest brightness
:ranchSexNerd:
Beginning of the year was Nagato Amagi Hiryuu/Kaga BB, Saint Louis Juneau Yukikaze. Afterwards, Kaga BB got removed due to not being strong enough while Saint Louis got replaced by Azuma. Later on, people started using FDG and Warkai instead of Hiryuu. Although Suruga was considered at the end of the year, she didn’t see much use
Due to the lack of proper AP guns at the time, aka no one has gotten 457s yet, people only used Hood Gun and FDG gun
The issue lies in the fact that HPFCR was still a Fallen Wings exclusive item

But yeah even then it was too fast for Suruga to do anything
I havent seen the meta since nj was valid here
is the kissable blue thing still the best dd for pvp?
my shit is so outdated I dont even have her
Best vanguard fleet rn is Laffey II, JintsuuM, Eldridge
You may want to check the pins
You can use Shimakaze then
which pin
PvP guide
the foist one?
Yeah
I dont have indiana either, I must have missed the entire event or something
This year EN Anniversary
So Windborne steel wings in August (Indiana event)

how long I gotta wait 
I need jintsuu meta and eldritch being
ok so I have pittsburgh and fargo
I guess I missed the shop
They'll probably miss eos too
End of service
Musashi, Alsace, Soyuz.
Sometimes Seydlitz or NJ.
Check pins for more information. 


That escalated quickly
Put that in general chat
U won’t no balls

Should be around 2180
Although you probably should be at 2150-2160
really? I'm like 2246
pace lead is the minimum points that a player can get after zeroing all pvp attempts right?
hopefully I can get 2600 finish despite losing a battle back then
No it's just their score at reset
so I'm like -34
Yes, although Top 10 EoS still possible I suppose because not many people bag Little Enty in the first place
hopefully
sry doggo i forgot 
ikd what u mean by pace lead but this is current top 3
so pacelead is 2200+
also why is darleana like that, they definitely take at least 2 -1s
Nah can't exactly look at it like that, most baggers would move at 10 min to reset and get top 10 to top 20 with 5/10 left
i'm not too familiar what this pacelead metrics is or how important it is tbh, I mostly just use the definition "the minimum points that a player can get after zeroing all pvp attempts" as baseline
It's just whoever has the most points at 10/10, if you are higher, the more likely chance that you'd get EoS
Since we don't know how many exercises every else has for sure, we just check known list of baggers
hmm maybe I can check like 1s post reset
if the difference between my score and #1 < 50, then I know for sure that I can EoS~

weird
i have 2192 right now and im saving up the next 5
i js gotten into whatever this sandbagigng is but a 10+ point diffference
very interestoing
why need to cross out the points?
sorry im kinda new to this
ive been blindly doing my exercises whenebver i have them for the past year and a half
just so if I fall below 100+ people don't know my points
I mean faerlein also cut his points out
yolo though, I have a chance to EoS if I keep this up
Other people are just more lucky and get higher points per exercises on average
If the top baggers zeroed out last reset they could get 2270-2280
what does this mean
it means peace in his language

if i were some months younger i would instantly log in and see what's score
anyways good luck on top scoring

is 2561 good finish? I don't think I could've gotten 2600 after some calculation since I would need 49 bonus
for lil e you might be top 10
for amagi, ballpark is around top 20 or lower
Top 30 for 2561 I believe

oh lmao so there will be 0d hours something
yep
thanks
oil up
Best DD for pvp?
Oky😼
You can farm an early map like 5-1 (iirc) for Juneau, she's blue rarity so she's pretty easy to obtain
Do you have eldrige retrofit item?
I meant to say jintsuu meta lmao
Nope
Jintm will be back soon
Fully embrace torpedo RNG

3 is greater than 1, it means that he wins
PvP - Pensioner vs pensioner
Just wait til they pass
And move on
Only a matter of time

Which server is this
Lil Enterprise
having the entire PVP meta revolving around the only 2 ships I missed due to my burnout is just my luck bruh
You should be fine, you’ll get them eventually as the meta will probably be the same ship for another 3 years
Long ago there was a player that always complain about not having a certain pvp meta ship, now that player has become a renowned and top player among the pvp community. Perseverance is the key
I don't think we actually had a ship that was meta for 3 years straight. Juneau probably gets close tho
Who?

Touche
Imagine not having kashino... it came free with your xbox
who's xbox
I can’t believe it, he stole my idea 

the ship that I wont have for 3 years 
idk much about pvp so im sticking with this
with the gay bubble on alsace
some of the weapons are lv1

who gets prowler? ancho or laffingtonne?
and who gets beaver?
oh ok, alsace dies FAST
if you have NJ, you can use her instead of Shinano
Prowler goes to Anchorage
If you’re using pearl on Shimakaze, you can put beaver to Alsace. if not, Alsace Mid can have the pearl and beaver on Musashi offlag
this is what im using
best I can do without eldy or jintM
just copy this
If ancho feels too slow, swap kicks for boiler.
If you don't have FMP for Soyuz, just put in SG Radar.
Pearl Alsace is generally only used on GoT with the Standard vg comp because none of the 3 vg members (Laff2, JintM, Eldy Retro) die early enough to heal anyone in the backline.
Waiting for cheeky to move
barnyard experiment
pearl ancho :essexdoorpeek:
Thanks homie sandwich

Seems to be what I have for the most part..
But Alsace has the pearl since she dies first in my experience
Alright, it works 
I can see this as a no Laffey II option once JintM gets added to the Dossier
Eldridge has the Manjuu I assume?
where else 
from my experience I see a lot of people use manjuu on soyuz
it shouldn't work but for some reason it does even though manjuu is only for USS ship
maybe they use some secret unreleased NP manjuu
Very true of you
is shikikan don't need juneau kai for pvp as long as they have eldkai?
is she still good to counter some defense fleet? (or maybe she good at defense fleet)? or all is replaced by eldkai?
If you have Eldkai, you don't need Juneau at all
eldkai's contribution to frontline is more impactful than juneau's on-death heal proc
on-death heal proc can heal backline though right?
yes but the frontline becomes less tanky in practice
Juneau is a tank 
DD looks more tanky for some reason

DD get secrets buff in pvp so no wonder that most of the op mrta ship in pvp are DD
Jintsuu meta will be irrelevant when they release a better shimakaze
Is this gear have some use or not?
To flex cuz not everyone have it
if soyuz's barrage hurts so much, what about rodney meta's barrage?
did anyone test that, or would it be a possibility that the bomb just cleared the whole backline
too squishy
unfortunate
NOooo I overcapped because I was distracted by the datamine 
I thought I set an alarm for 10 minutes ago 
Fat bitches preferred in Azur Lane PvP
hopefuly nobody saw tha
welp there's still
competing with -2 points behind last time I checked
If I cleared all my exercises a few hours ago, when maint ends I should be at 5/10 right


Rushing strats 
No strats, just want to finish my attempts for merit
you are a higher up
fuck i forgot to pvp
ignoring pvp strats 
filthy bonus farmer
Sandbagging is a strat right? I tried to do that but I overcapped before
So I just use up all my attempts when I can
pro tip: don't overcap
hello, any newest pvp guide 
the pvp guide doc on pin is updated frequently, it's just the post is old
i see ty 
the meta seems getting less diverse 
You either have Eldridge Kai + Laffey II or you don't.
Well, that's how the meta feels to me, atleast. 
few years ago you could use meme fleet and get away with it
can my iron blood fleet wins 
you apparently can still win against standard oathed with uni musashi soyuz ancho laffii shimakaze unoathed
I reached aotn and was so close to EoS until I overcapped 3 and I gave up
you just need to keep resetting till all the torp hit AND your soyuz doesn't whiff
new names i see, i was stopped playin from hiryuu kai meta 
Anime and manga
Suggestions for comp? Seem to only have musashi, Eldridge, and anchorage
fdg flag, seydlitz, musashi, anchorage, eldridge, z52
Thanks. Any suggestions on what I can do to get a better fleet? Or do I need to wait for the good ship events to come around?
And should I 125 seydlitz?
your options for vanguards are:
- waiting for jintsuuM to be maxed in 4 months
- getting felix, fast esp with catchup, 3 months (hurts pve progress cause no la9)
- waiting for laffii, estimation around a year and maybe half
for main fleet, idk tbh, there's NJ but it would hurt your pve progress since I see ur shinano is not maxed, Alsace and Soyuz will be even longer than laffii. Some other options include Richielieu and Aquila which I don't think you have rn
Don’t have
I think seyd is fine to 125 for pvp and world 14 shenanigans, but only do so if you have enough arrays
My shinano is maxed. Her icon just showed a blank spot
there aren't many ships requiring array anyways
and given your next main fleet replacement gonna take a while
I'll stick to these ships for now, until somebody have other ideas
Thanks
you can give them equipments, but be very very mindful about your ordnance reports
Gonna be a while. Skill levels are still mediocre for all those ships 😭
yea skill levels and levels has to be maxed
maybe you wouldn't win against pvp players with soyuz and lafii, but at least you can crush everyone else with oathed faction fleeter and such
I was going to make another thread in help for gear advice. Not sure the best way to list what gear I have though
ah you should read pins for gearing
I need help with priority.. in terms of which ships to build gear for first
I don't think it matters much since most gears cost basically nothing, just don't craft for now if they cost electronics or gold ordnance reports
unless you don't need pve and decide that pvp is your purpose, like my
alt account
Kid named i used too much attempt

Dono. Little bit of everything seems fun. seems like after you get to 12-4 everything else is not as important anymore. In other news my new years envelope lets me choose richielieu lol
you need to do pve to do pvp 
Is there a good CV pvp set up?
I have encountered some CV set up and lost to them. Certainly I thought I was going to win and didn’t bother to look into their team composition
well, foxwall (kaga,amagi cv,akagi) is strictly a defense team; best bet i think is using enterprise resetting till luky skill, but honestly bb fleets are the meta for attak fleets and also defense fleet mainly
I agree. I have never looked into the fox wall thing lol
yeah foxwall is good but not really the best
+hinders pve
doesn't it make each excercise take a long time to be done too?
well at least with foxwall you can beat all non laffii comp
but i struggle only vs the laffeii comps
Laffei is the goat
didn't the meta become uninteresting w/ laffii and even worse with eldkai
meta now is remembering to reset sortie if you are losing
Looking thru the PvP guide do I really need musashi or alsace
I have a bunch of ur bbs but like every comp has one of the two 😭

mb, assume frontline is also oathed
5 wyverns, 2 tenrais, a fighter and a suisei 12a
that amount of investment would make any pve player weep
+10 won’t work?
its less powerful, would not recommend that
bare minimum is like 4 wyverns, two tenrais and the fighter. still a lot of investment
Theoretically I can make a fox wall, but just not the +13 wyverns
And with ancho lol
:shimagambling: more fun
Nice thanks!
Wyverns are not difficult to get
But +13 wyverns are
literally costs the entire arsenal of 2 skyraiders, 2 la 9, 6 tbs, 3 hvars
might as well not clearing cm or meta just to lose to a lafii
How long have you guys played the game?
Too long

im a new player
I see
Same here 
Hmm
2021 new player 
Which server are you in?
I see. I’m in avrora
So, we will never cross our blade in the pvp
Is there a reason for the non-magnetic torpedo in the vanguard? How’s does it do in auto?
magnetic torps do spread too much resulting in miss and hits mainly the vanguard, tea torpedo goes straight and can possibly hit the backline too; and nearly never loses you damage compared to magnetic who can go offscreen

at least that is what i understood, me do only 1 pvp per day when i am lazy
Ha I see
straight torps just have better damage and have higher chance of hitting high value backlines
other interesting thing you may be interested in is that the attaking fleet takes 20% less damage iirc
yep, also they usually hit something; i have seen my magnetic going 3/5 offscreen
Magnetic is good when you’re done with the vanguard vs the back line
also the reason soyuz,musashi,alsace are used is also because their barrage is really strong and hits vanguard and main fleet alike
usually if your vanguard wins you win due to your bb destroying opponent main fleet, while opposing bb are still firing on your vanguard
Alsace doesn’t last long enough for me lol
Well, depending on the remaining hp, not uncommon for laffy to solo a bb
they're just getting distracted by the vanguards
this almost never happens outside of the first 15 seconds
yes, but i have seen occasions in wich both vanguards are one top right and the other bottom left and i fire with noone of my magnetic torpedoes hitting anything due to no hit on vanguard and torpedo too far to activate magnetism from main
; it's exiliarating when that happens
wdym crossfleet, this is pvp so no second fleet for crossfleet
i meant their barrage
Kinda hate that PVP basically unplayable without those meta ships 
Need to wait more powercreep printed
true, the fact that I have to reset 10x more often whenever I face ald
You guys should try the ignoring pvp strats
reset is now my life 
bad time to play AL
pvp i mean
eldridge retrofit in august 2024. musashi reran 3 months after. rumey was underwhelming, z52 is viable but doesn't hold a candle to the meta options.
rerun urs are no better, you have implac, biszwei, unzen, then finally guam and laffey 2. effectively a long time away to current meta as it stands
good news, the PR series all have decent frontliners to play around with. Anchorage, Bayard, Felix, Harbin... and Shima and Juneau are perma content so you can still work around the frontliner issues, albeit with difficulties and needing patience when going up against the meta fleets
backline comps are less than stellar given that you'd have to wait for a year for Soyuz & Alsace reruns, and less for the inevitable event archiving of Musashi
. Richelieu, NJ and Aquila are all perma content, I think you can make do with that for a good while.
Seen a guy in Amagi basically run Alsace - NJ - Aquila - Anchorage - Shima - Juneau all the time in late season (albeit on defense) as an AotN mover. Not all hope is lost, just cope on the new URs and upcoming PR season be good at PvP 
UR Montana and Indefatigable will bring a new meta. Trust. 
My testing shows that they both can beat the current meta with 99% winrate
can't wait for the meta shifting next month
I forget, Indefatigable is a Carrier right?
What if she's also a Nun, but she's not horny 
Too many horny ship already
Especially Janus


No
If she wasn’t horny, the last 4 letter in her name wouldn’t have been there
Indefatigable would have infinite... stamina.


Oh she has infinite stamina for "pvp" alright. 



acheron is very good at pvp (pelvis vs pelvis)
I lost 2 exercises this season, is it still possible aotn
im not a pvp expert, but yea youll probably be able to
should be very possible
just rush on aotn
if you're ever in doubt or lost, always ask yourself, what would serenity do? and you shall receive the serenity to solve all your problem
yo can someone help me build a fleet plz 😭 i swear i have good ships but i cant build any of the good comps on the spreadsheet
im always missing like 1 or 2
what do you have?
New Jersey, Soyuz, Seydlitz, maybe?
Dunno about the vanguard. 
@willow herald Check pins for comps and META options.
thx
Seyd/Soy/NJ- Anchorage/Shima/Eldridge
yeah I agree
Can someone help me build a good IB Vanguard Fleet? They die to fast
its pvp ofc faction fleet do

you don't
, but you may want to try Agir, Z52, Felix.
regardless they'll die vs meta comps anyway
i know. my question is for the exercises
i will give it a try
they also need good gears to even work vs some defense fleets, check the gears on pinned pvp guide or probably avoid faction fleet entirely and go for the meta ships on the tier list, there's no entry for Z52's gears yet but you can mimic Eldridge's loadout with Single 113mm gun to proc her barrage more often
Sometimes i even lost 5 to 6 exercises in one season, yet still be able to aotn, so yeah, 2 defeats should be no problem, just be fast enough when the time comes.

you don't even need to be fast at that time, you can be fast anywhere after the aotn moment
ggs
she will be in perma probably in around 9-10 months
Serious answer: Vanguard or Seydlitz, Soyuz, NJ - Anchorage, Shimakaze, Eldridge
gearing can be found in the sheet
What's the difference between Fortune META and Jintsuu META and who's better for Exercise?
I'm really curious because i often find those two in pvp
Fortune META hasn't been relevant in so long.
they were meta before Alsace fully countered Fortune META
HE, AP, didn't matter. Fortune would get annihilated easily with Alsace
Nowadays you'll only see JintM seeing relevance nowadays since her torps and on-death effect are just that good
I see, tysm
thoughts on chien wu for pvp?
a good rule of thumb in pvp is that all CA are bad at pvp
Anchorage is the exception to that comment
i think people just use bayard?
ancho is a DD in disguise
Anco is the only exception yes
But 99% of CA are bad in pvp
Unless they add CA that can disable opponent skill
Why do you need that when people like Serenity exist?
so, since there is no plymuth in the guide is it right to assume she is worse than sandy kai?
yes lol, but sandykai isn't that good aswell
Bayard (tankier but weaker gun dps than Ply) sees usage here. Honestly good with the correct gearing
she's in the budget/newbie section so we put gearing for her
this pvp fleet used to be my go to fleet 2-3 years ago. since i dont own any of the new ships that are meta currently, it should still be alright? suggestions on who to switch out would be appreciated https://imgur.com/a/lbCSSzn
If you're fighting non-meta comps, Mafia is alright.
But that fleet should be nowhere near what's meta right now.
I doubt that fleet is doing jack against Laffey II and Eldridge Kai.
laffey 2 is always rough, shes just too tanky most of the times
was thinking about switching someone out for anchorage, she should do fine in long lasting battles i think
you can check the newbie/budget fleets section of the PvP guide, you can use Ancho & Juneau/Harbin instead of Seattle and Duca
yea, i think im gonna try this, juneaus retrofit skill looks pretty good
Any advice for my bunny girl themed pvp fleet? What are the some good bunny girls backline?
Preferably eagle union or royal navy ship 
new jersey

He prefers lolis only
could it be that pvp has some kind of bug that freezes the battle?
interesting thing is that its consistent with only one guy, but the other fights seem fine
have been retrying alot of times with different players on my list, but its only one of them
happens vs hipp meta i think
you either 1 shoot hipper meta or it freezes
i resetted till i deleted her with alsace 1st barrage

hipper meta and bayard does that
kill hipper before they get the chance to freeze the battle
Nah, I got a freeze (first time) with my Bayard on the fleet after she died
Though I got lucky with the opponent's Manjuu Laffey that proc'd before the freeze
literally unplayable
what server should i go to if i wanna eventually pvp
all of them are pretty much the same, it gets sweaty at high ranks, easy at low ranks. iirc avrora is the worst.
you'll find the best players on avrora
so don’t go there
not necessarily
the question is whether you want to hang out with homeless people or do you want to hang out with bill gates
🤣but wouldn’t i need to catch up what do u suggest
i lost my old account and it was avrora
no i’m starting again after not playing for a long time that’s why im choosing a server
server doesn't really matter in pve, pvp however is a different story
in terms of pvp, avrora will give you the most trouble with defenses, with the younger servers trailing behind a lot
if you want an easy pvp experience, go with lil e. the youngest EN server as of writing, not too bad for newer players to play with.
if you know what to do then you can try the older servers. Personal rec would be Amagi. Though i'd not do Avrora because of ToS since you mentioned that you used to play there 
that isn't true anymore given musashi just reran
and the defenses are much more uniform now across all servers thanks to the sheet
just play where your friends play tbh
if you have no friends, roll a D6 and choose whichever server corresponds to the number

lil e is only acceptable answer 
better roll a 6 then 
i have enough ships to do defense fleets like those on the sheet, my def fleet is still perseus unicorn essex laffey1 portland london and i won't change it

who are you
Wait a min
How exactly are players good at pvp

azur lane pvp is the most beautiful game mode, with diverse playstyles and forms of skill expression flourishing in this bastion of hope for this game
git gud hah
Complete control over ||aka f-ed up|| sleep schedule
Sounds like someone has skill issue
i forgot about sushi rerun 
But yeah
Have you ever fought himmel, falulu, or serenity? That's when you know a good pvp player
no bec pvp is brain dead

He does that, often
I think he's just doubling down on the clowning
i mean azur pvp is just A.I luck at the end of the day even with attackers getting buffs over the defenders its trolling

it's not PvP, it's AI vs AI all along
the difference is one AI has 6% extra stats, another AI has 20% damage reduction
The real difference is one AI gets lucky with Eldy skill procs, the other does not
the other AI knows where to place iceberg
the only skill here is +11 
get good
The only skill here is ligma
Will RLD tech for BB help in pvp?
All tech doesn't apply in pvp
Ah
Including no gun tech
So it's just gear levels and oath
Don't forget luck
Bolzano already cursed by being a CA
Hmm, unfortunate
Useless already
Elite CA 
tho oathes and therefore affinity modifiers work
so oathed fleet are stronger
smh pay to win game mode
You'll need some good internet to pair with your better phone. Literally rng game mode if you're someone like Beth who spends half of the time dcing
