then eos happened and we all retired
when will you playing game happen
And the meta vanguard has 2 ships with good AA š
I do I just slowed down alot 
I'm in my pve era right now, even though I have access to the silly meta PvP fleets now
is it just me
Just you
or every summer brings the most broken URs
let me finish my sentence lol
@lusty hill hes bullying me say something
prob a backline ship?
it's eva gear and still applies the spec effect even when on backline
jintsuum takes torp auxes, and the other two are dds
do i put it on any of them im rlly stupid at this game pvp
also musashi usually takes center for barrage reasons
i copied it from the pin, idk why is soyuz the flagship
but thanks ill switch them
ah they changed it, ig it doesn't matter that much maybe
"In recent developments, the fleet has dropped WNT flag on attack by moving Alsace to flag with Pearl Tears, as the Standard vanguard comp has become too tanky to consistently die early enough to heal the backline. This meta is weird."
i don't use wnt so that's that
also, small note, but lion is rapidly growing in popularity and will prob replace musashi before long
as for me, i put beaver + table on musashi
table + fairy magic on soyuz
then table + white shell or pearl ig on alsace
pearl is good on anyone who dies early
backline dies early???
she gets nuked
sometimes, and alsace is less hardy than musashi and soyuz (especially with fairy magic)
alr guys tysm
also the current meta vg is very tanky
laffii caps damage taken based on %, eldy has eva stuff and partial invulnerability for a slight bit of time
jintm herself is a bit the same and can launch torps on death
so uh backline does in fact die earlier sometimes... very frequently laffii is the last ship alive
yea you are right backline feels so fragile compared to vanguards ive just tried it
10/10/x?
10/9/0
how tf would you have 0
huh
skill issu due to 2 aquila training i guess
but thanks alpha ig i'll make the switch
was waiting on finishing skilling but ig the diff is that big
i still win
idk i dont have vanguard oathed
are you also a meta oather?
ooh i don't have the fireworks gear skin
Missing Janus
beautiful
although, i thought aquila would be included, since you're training 2 of them
not 100 affinity
bad economy nowadays, only afford to oath shiny new ur
maybe that ranger oath will be useful oneday 
lel
but honestly a very impressive set alpha
maybe i shouldn't encourage spending though
lvl 149
yep. higher than even cheeky i think who started a year before
this is what constant farming in w12 gives (i don't buy oil)
w8 im older than you in game
cheeky 150 now btw
nope he's 150 damn
still got to climb a lil
admittedly i've been overcapping on oil for some time now
masters and stuff
actually alpha what's your ign?
I have rebranded to ColonelSanderZ
oh wait you're in my friend list
What if WaSD + Lion unironically
good luck damaging the UR backliners

Wash has two Barrages though, she can't lose 
Oathed Ranger Gigabased
Ranger 2 when?
UR with Jets and the same damage potential as the OG Ranger 
With the new meta, I finally have a reason to max level my Warspite. It's been far too long to be honest.
for lion users, her burn performing or no?
Her burn is OP
If you squint, the word āburnā looks like ābumā. 
I dunno what would cause your Alsace to die too early, her survival rater seems good for me. Might as well put Pearl in the VG. Maybe a fleet dependent thing I suppose 
@whole salmon so was it ever proven if gear skins sometimes had different hitboxes? And does CN have any known info about it?

I donāt think Iām aware of it
I would have definitely brought it up if I had known
However for regular skins
I think there was an incident with Amagi
But I think it was just a rumor, not sure if it was proven
Btw, how consistent does lion survive against torp one shots
As long as you put her on top she's safe from torps
Opponent vanguard tend to move to the bottom side on the first 2 seconds
Doesnt lion take decreased damage from torps?
Yeap
Which is why I was curious how well she tanks in the scenario she ever gets them
Since its a direct dmg reduc with crit dmg and rate reduc
Doesn't matter how well she tanks if you just run her with royal oak 
PSA:
Shiburin has updated their fleet. This is now the latest meta for pvp. Copy the fleet now
Alsace the flagship on pvp
So sushi is replaced ohhhhh
Now im curious on the gears used..
noooo, soyuz no
The year is 2030. Every PvPer uses Iowa, Yamato, & Wisconsin at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on waifu priority. The Rock Paper Scissors metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches. Humanity has reached its pinnacle.
And mirror matches crash the game 
reset match in case of loss
Damn 2030 sounds just like now
the year is 2031. theres now multiple replicas of lion where its skill can cover the whole map. nothing can escape the burn when it scales with lv and fp. pvp may be changing to triple healer comp.
Healers get oneshot
The only way a healer becomes meta in PvP is if they are both a BB and are literally just Soyuz/Alsace/lion but with a heal attached
or they are a UR royal oak to push the HMS agenda 
year 2032. Game had an update where backline ships now move like vanguard ships and positioned further away from vanguard.
is shiburin the pvp god or something?
They are one of the top player yes
that's because it's me bro.
I'm Shiburin

The man himself is here

Itās me isnāt it
Yes
Btw full burn and torp memes failed badly
Torps would just go into rainbow bridge or miss most of the time
My Royal Oak isnāt ready yet so I used Seydlitz
It seem to still be viable
The Lion, Alsace, Soyuz has highest dps
But it feels too paper
Lion Musashi Seydlitz is tanky af while Triple HMS has Royal Oak to cover
So, how are people feeling about Triple HMS (I put forward the name Tea Chuggers) vs Lion + 2 URs?
Royal Oak and Seydlitz comps are definitely viable
It is a trade off more than anything
How is it looking with laffii Vs torp memes
Depends on your playstyle
If you put in Soyuz or Alsace then your dps increases
You may end fight faster or whiff everything
Is there a sense of RPS?
Royal Oak and Seydlitz comps are the tank alternatives
You can think of it was Mafia vs Weeb comps of the old days
One prioritizes on damage while the other is on consistency
No Oak and Corgi?
I mean either of the 2 works
Lion Royal Oak Warspite and Lion Seydlitz Musashi are both tank comps
As opposed to damage comps of Lion Soyuz Alsace or Lion Soyuz Musashi
Are we going back to gambling times like back when rock paper scissors was a thing then
Not really
The damage comps are extremely paper
Both Soyuz and Alsace have no survivability

Oh, I'm safe then I just gotta level royal oak 
Lion Soyuz Alsace is basically just gambling on whether you can outdamage the enemy
Next UR that comes out be like āwhen your BBs fire their main gun, they are invulnerable for 10 secondsā 
It is basically Mafia vs Weeb of the old days
Mafia would try to out dps with VV NJ Aquila
While Weeb comp would tank with Hiryuu NJ Shinano
Now it is the same thing
If you want tanks, go with Seydlitz or Royal Oak comps
If you want damage, slap Lion with either Alsace, Soyuz or Musashi
Made mention of earlier, but has there been any decisions on new fleet names?
That's why I tried this too
https://youtu.be/q04ov1clzDU?si=tPytF6MTTRgoDNjP
The witch the lion and the wardrobe
At least they can win a lot of fights without all ships losing almost all their hp
Is it generally agreed upon who tanks in the standard vanguard or is it preference
I prefer Eldridge tanks but ik a lot of people still use Jintsuu M tank
I think anyone is fine aside from Laffey II, because you really need her having as much hp as possible
Yeah anyone aside from Laffey
Thanks, I was wondering because I switched to eld tank recently and it felt better than jintm tank I was using before
I think the choice between JintM and Eld depends more on how lucky you're feeling
Eld tank can trigger early and avoid all the damage or die right away
And JintM can get an early kill by dying early or hit absolutely nothing
Would 52 be worthwhile to use on the vanguard for Triple HMS? I donāt have JintM up yet and donāt have Shima.
I dunno I don't have her to be sure
I was too busy being dead during her event to get her 
I logged in once did my dailies and then disappeared for the rest of the event 
You could always just go with Harbin
Actually no, donāt use Harbin
It might mess up Eldridge proc
Sounds like me during Fitz Rumey. I wish I didnāt miss her, sheās so cool but I was busy with IRL stuff 
Hmm, ig you can test Trafalga
Ibuki is good nowadays after the augment
If you are using 3 HMS anyways then might as well test Trafalga
Yeah, Iām working on her at the moment, and sheāll no doubt be up before JintM, but sheās still not ready yet.
Wasn't Fritz and z52 the same event 
She just performs like a discount Laffey with HMS buff so might as well
I MLBed 52 after I did Lion, so itāll be a couple months before I have enough for Traf.
You should just already have 125 aug ayanami 
I think so, but like I said, I was too busy with IRL stuff on the lead up, so I couldnāt save enough cubes in advance.
Wait, you have bulin issues
Am I that out of touch with the common folk
Iām overflowing with that stuff with nothing to buy
Iām working on getting her to 125.
Bulin issues are skill issue since we get 2.5 bulin per month without even counting events
Suffering from success 
I have bulin issues but I also only came back to the game properly like a month ago and MLBed 3 URs so I'm exempted from skill issue (trust)
Unfortunately though, because I missed a few over previous events, Iāll end up getting a lot of URs at once from pity and returning events and what not, so I suddenly am overloaded with choices without enough bulins. Tbf though, I only have like 3 or 4 URs that arenāt MLB, and some already have merges (not from spreading bulins, itās from dupes).
Tbf, you already have them all MLB 
Iāll eventually catch up, it just will take me a little longer.
Iām getting my 2nd Trafalga for the memes
I think I had to retire some Shimas since I keep getting them
Cba raising them
I still need to get Shima at some point.
I won't raise shima because I am somewhat convinced she is dead now
I reached the boomer phase of needing to retire bulins to clear dock space
Weirdly enough
I didnāt get Little Anchorage
Not because I didnāt farm enough
But because I simply forgot to claim

So, no Harbin I guess because of Eldridge Kai?
Harbin is fine just gamble better 
Little Anchorage is the first ship I missed in like 3 years
And now I have to wait like a year

real tech is bring back gridmann
So, what would it be then, considering so far suggestions of ships to include beside Eldridge are Harbin, Ayanami, etc, and then my own mention of 52.
Lion + Gridman 
Itāll still be a bit before sheās up and running.
Doesn't ibuki mean you want some boilers š„š„
Or run Seydlitz comp with Z52
Donāt have Musashi. Iām hoping to get her when she hits permanent
Don't need sushi now lion is real
Going to hopefully have my pity timed for that
I also donāt have Alasace or the Ruski
NJ 
Why, when I have both Oak and Warspite?
Because then you go back to the issue of who do use until you got jintm š
I mean, I have Laffey 2 as well, but it seems like sheās fallen out of meta
You could go Juneau
And have Juneau tank instead
Enemyās Lion is going to burn your frontline anyways
Might as well get a heal out of it

Is Juneau back š
I mean, I do have Anchorage, if itās a tank I need.
Nah

Smoke messes with Eldridge
I meant instead of Juneau
Which was why I was against Harbin
Eldridge wants to get hit
So Smoke may mess with that
So weirdly enough, Juneau could work better than Ancho
So Juneau Tank, Eldridge Off Tank, who middle?
isnāt she now no where near as good?
She is still good, lion just opens the opportunity for other vanguards to kick her
I mean I do, just not a couple of the ones mentioned.
PvP Exhausting
Only when they flip the meta with new releases 
I'm assuming 2 406 twin ssr, right?
@stable dawn
Just run a tank
I yearn for the days when ancho shima Juneau/harbin was the vanguard
Like this? Hit hard, and trying to hit often. Logic behind bow is for her to take the back like the job that musashi did

don't mind my skills, she is getting there
oathing her next
So, Laffey like everyone was saying?
1 or 2
What?
Which laffey
Laffey 2 the UR?
Obviously the UR. OG wouldnāt make any sense LOL.
Heh they have a new idea
Canāt be too sure these days
Laffey2 tank
Someone
Eld retro
If I wanted to meme, I wouldāve just used Neptunia ships 
But yea this is good
Just grab jintsuu meta from dossiers
They run some weird ass comp
Seydlitz comp backline but the frontline is mbruh
Eldridge Juneau Jintsuu
Instead of Laffey

All 3 test is about Seydlitz comp and HMS comp
It seems they narrowed into their favorites
lol juneau
Ig they got bored of testing backline so now they are testing frontline
Standard Eldridge Laffey Jintsuu M
Vs
Eldridge Shimakaze Jintsuu M (defense fleet preferred)

And Eldridge Juneau Jintsuu M (wonky ass comp)
Tell them to never cook again
Just kidding, this actually sounds funny
Iāll test it for the memes
I'm working on JintM, but it'll be a bit before she's going to be up and running
If Juneau can die consistently before royal oak we could get some silly shenanigans of backliners not dying before frontline
Clearly we just need a HMS CV that is nano and hiryuu combined + lion burn but as a flood (and immune to reveal)
Next DR? 
You caught me šš
This is mainly a defense test so don't pay too much attention to enemy wonky comp
Offense: Seydlitz Musashi Lion, Eldridge Laffey Jintsuu
Defense: Lion Musashi Seydlitz, Eldridge Shimakaze JIntsuu
Wr for offense: 80%
Offense: Royal Oak Lion Warspite, Eldridge Laffey Jintsuu
Defense: Lion Musashi Seydlitz, Eldridge Shimakaze Jintsuu
Wr for offense: 62%
Offense: Seydlitz Musashi Lion, Eldridge Laffey Jintsuu
Defense: Lion Musashi Seydlitz, Eldridge Juneau JIntsuu
Wr for offense: 78%
Colonialism FTW
Note that on offense, Manjuu gear is on Laffey
But on defense, Manjuu gear is on Eldridge
Since ofc there's no Laffey on defense
So where else are they going to place it
As no one is serious enough about pvp to do constant gear switching whenever they move
Take this as one of CN's own pvp quirks
Clearly NJ holds it 
It is like how previously
CN has defense of Richelieu Soyuz Alsace
With Shima frontline and manjuu on Eldridge
But offense still have manjuu on Laffey
That's the main reason why people don't run different offense and defense, gear switching is a pain in the ass
I think they get away with this due to the 1 hour duration it takes for your fleet to get updated
So you can set up strong def, switch gear to offense comp, then move
But this is some sweaty af behavior that most wouldn't do
And you wouldn't risk forgetting to put Manjuu back on Laffey and lose a fight where you were aiming to reset

Nah, Defense is for memes
wake me up when we settled on a meta
And Waifus
Defence is for me to put a meta fleet with 0 gear on because I'm a tourist now š„
I still eventually want to do the Neptunia Defense fleet, but itās tough setting aside bulins sometimes.
Because theyāre still not all MLB after like 6 or 7 years 
Is it better to farm the 533 Magnetic Auxiliary in the Archives? Or to buy them from the shop?
just buy lol
farm on wa if no core data
else buy it
hms have a cock
Can you test between these 2 combos:
1/Alsace, Musashi, Lion- 3 usual suspects in vanguard
2/Alsace, Lion, Soyuz- 3 usual suspects in vanguard
on offense?
DPS is highest but consistency is low
I couldn't care less abt defense fleet
If you want to run something similar then run Lion Musashi Soyuz
Which yielded more consistent results
hmm, then Lion gonna have to take place of alsace
@nimble fox
This one Ari tested against me
Lion Alsace Soyuz still works for now since people arenāt running their own Lion yet
But once people do run their own Lion on defense then Alsace being that paper isnāt going to cut it for consistencyās sake
Thereās improvements but overall it is viable
rat aa need a week or 2
Use sword instead of crossbow and a DD aux gun with more range is better to do damage to Laffey II
is 457 better or 406 better
406 has a much lower reload, calling out Lion's barrage more, and more use towards her buff
but significantly lower DPM
406 would overlap with soyuz
The gun depends on who you're using with her, just so she won't fire at the same time as other ship
The main damage comes from barrage 1
Which has Lionflame
And that is fixed timings
Alsace/Soyuz/Lion for now
The barrage 2 that is tied to main gun fire is a different one with less damage
I'm considering arming Soyuz with 457, so Lion can do the main punching job
is it a smart move?
no
You want Soyuz with the faster gun because her barrage hits as soon as she loads
soyuz always get mk4
her barrage is faster
but imo it's 50-50, sushi is tankier, can finish backline more consistently
i dont think musashi is completely gonna be replaced, probably gonna be variations with her still part of the core
I mean the issue never was whether Soyuz or Musashi was better
The issue has always been Alsace is too paper

Thatās why Seydlitz comp and Royal Oak comp exist
So we can get rid of Alsace
i feel like alsace also isnt gonna be completely out as well
Sheās still a strong pick
But at the end of the day, it is moves and counter moves
Just like how Alsace kicked Fortune Metaās ass out of the meta
Yes, I feel like a specialization in stabbing the back is better
Now Lion just makes everything on the backline feels like paper
But Alsace w/o Soyuz is just not it weirdly
Soyuz has always been the finisher, Alsace is not
Alsace is there to weaken everyone for Soyuz to finish
Which is the same role as Lion
it is?
Yeah
yeah soyuz is instant

musashi is like... sword slash down, then lightning next 2s
She is an example of over specialization. She deals with annoying vanguards super efficiently
You could have a situation of oathed Soyuz vs un oathed Soyuz
And the oath Soyuz kills the unoathed Soyuz
And takes no damage
Simply due to outspeeding

Lion is more ridiculous tho
my lion finally pvp ready
The more you learn about Lion, the more you question the gameās mechanics
why survive when you can win
Lionās burn doesnāt count as a burn
Even though it functions like a burn
But it is a burn that ignores enemy evasion stat
Ignores enemy evasion rate
Ignores enemy damage reduction
Ignores enemy concealment

Absolute cinema
the other two i can accept for being part of special DOT
it even hits submarine ffs
LOL
how does that make any sense
I support another broken vanguard UR like laffey 2

It hits everything that is on screen
And it burn on contact
Not on proc
So unlike Alsace or Richelieu that can still whiff due to high evasion
Lion just auto applies it

Lion don't gives a sh**
ready for next seaz
Same
what server are you @whole salmon
Whatās next? Trafalga?
Idk, trafalgar is a weird one
Lexington
She can do a bit of everything, but sucks at it
lexy player š
A boomer one at that
Iām a survivor of the generation that practically all retired

You have been there, seen broken shit
i was mid fight, and i noticed a gap
Top position isnāt burned yes
Wdym brought Royal Oak back in the meta? As someone who oathed her as soon as she was released because her skills looked interesting, I still say she was still too much copium to be used back then 

But donāt worry
Due to the stupid burn spread mechanics
When the Laffey summons die
The burn would spread to top position anyways

Yes, burn spreads even from summons
lion is too fucking broken
š
stinky lil bro 
@tired star i found your alt 

pvpers use champy/flandre guns? or something else for 3bb
you go for Triple 406 mk7/mk6 something like Alsace
then for them fast hitters
Twin 305 (Obtainable via getting Mikasa) for Musashi
then timing purposes in order to avoid jamming are the Golden twin 406 and the UR Twin 457
Unsure about the loadout for Lion so, some peeps might answer that certain mystery
sorry for not clarifying, by 3 bb I meant lion, maryland and colorado
Can't sushi also use 356kai 
both are alright, one is slightly faster for less dmg per shell and Normal FP Type
while other is slightly slower but deals slightly better dmg per shell and is HE
after all, Musashi mostly deals damage from her Barrage alone
sorry for doing so, But I think Lion might be the only applicable Backline you have, the rest like Maryland and Colorado aren't, unless you are using them due to their Big Seven Salvos, which are still far from lacking to the current meta ships for pvp
I pray that they have royal oak so they can just run triple HMS 
Tbh, I'd argue even DoY would be a better choice than the Colorado Class.
Warspite is right there
Perfect pearls tears holder if you don't have royal oak š„
Warspoot Revival is real
Depends on if they have the Retrofit done.
all Hail Lion goes where she pleases
Warspite pre-retro is just even more fragile, still holds pearl 
never have I thought that Musashi will be kicked out of the Line though
But her snipe is weaker pre-retro as well
If their only options are the Colorados, I doubt they have QE Meta
If they have Colorado's they have hiryuu
I don't care that CVs are dead because Colorado's are deader
With Lion?
Lion gonna burn em endurances without acting like a burn mechanic is wild man
And you would rather then run Colorado's 
fair tho
Me OMW to bring back Nagato/Amagi/Hiryuu
Clearly the solution to their woes is British weeb
Brit-aboo
So, after discussion, you definitely would prefer Hiryuu over one of the two.
is royal oak really good, or just cope? i mean the kit is kinda nice with hms
i mean, shouldn't she be good only for defense fleet?
Good offense is the best defense
Really good, but only with lion spoot
I can do hiryuu and oak, sure
thanks
If you can get Warspite up and Retrofitted, Lion/Oak/Warspite Retro is a top tier backline
CVs aren't great in this meta due to Lion burning stealthed CVs
Come on people please just switch now
Don't you want your 100% wr?
And if they use GOT, they're basically asking to get walled
I battled a GoT comp with oak lion soyuz
needless to say
it got bodied
hard
none of my vgs died

Warspite sniping to take out top even faster
While letting the mid and bottom burn to death

fun meta
rip bozo
demoted from absolute top to bottom barrel
i guess my vanguard choice was right, shimakaze is back
funniest fact is roak wreking on it
i don't have a 125 shimi, any possible substitute?
no idea
shimakaze was the only one came to my mind when they say torp meme
maybe try harbin
see if that works out for you or not
maybe ayanami?

š«š¼ oh yeah ibuki exists
Good way to distract Serenity
She's permanently available now, you can at least work to getting her there
Unless you want to cope on inferior options like ayanami
just use the standard vanguard and reset until you win
dude where is this tier list from?
The forbidden distraction technique
bruh
alsace and soyuz both kicked out of tier 0 by fricking warspite and royal oak?!?! š¤Æ
Wtf?
i was refering to the google sheet, one which is pinned
Oh its pinned here
it's crazy but... warspite and NJ both returning to top picks are some fever dream


or combine stall fleet and torpmemes into a single ultimate fleet 
He has to use (or at the very least use another ijn), or Amagi loses her 10s salvo
i see, make sense
amagi eva buff useless tho rip
To think Warspiteās barrage causing HMS ships to force target an enemy is actually useful in this day and age
You can use to kill Soyuz
exactly, lion has nothing to do with this, old HMS supremacy 
Tho I donāt agree with NJ being there
The Musashi Lion NJ
Ik it is there so NJ can counter Warspite
Well, so warspite to deal with enemy main on top, oak for lion to be alive, and lion to deal with whole enemy that stay alive after vanguard torps
But against other comps then Soyuz being there is better
As for triple HMS and Seydlitz then both have been tested to be viable
So no complaints there
NJ's barrage can always aims at the vanguard and fully miss if they're too fast and now there's Eldridge too, that's my problem with her
Lion basically sweeps the main fleet but leaves the top thats why
Also for anyone planning to use Soyuz
Donāt use MK4
Warspite MK4 outspeeds Soyuz
Instead use Hood Gun
Or place Soyuz at bottom

In which case you get burnt by Lion anyways
Blast from the past
Wait how lmao, Soyuz with 10% RLD boost should be more or less equal to Warspiteās RLD
Yours would jam and theirs wonāt
Sasuga Royal Oak being slow

Normally you wouldnāt have the jamming issue between Musashi and Soyuz
Because thank god Alsace is running triple gun
But then you have Lion

Just incase people doesnāt believe in triple HMS comp
Since convincing people to use Royal Oak and Warspite in 2025 is a big ask
Seydlitz comp function on basically the same principal
Just with alternatives that people do trust

It does feel strange seeing Royal Oak and Warspite of all ships on the top of the list.
So instead of Warspite sniping top position, it is now Musashiās barrage doing that sniping
Instead of Royal Oak doing the tanking then you have Seydlitz
Both fleets are essentially sidegrade of each other
Lion existing severely discourage the use of Alsace
Fulfills the same role but way tankier
Lion also outspeeds Alsace most of the time
And has way stronger burns
Because of the burns being so strong
Royal Oak is there to act as basically a meat shield
And just tanks the damage that Lion and Warspite takes
Warspite meanwhile is there to snipe top most position to protect Lion
Either from a Musashi being placed there in Seydlitz comp, an enemy Lion or a Soyuz
The barrageās focus targeting allows for all 3 HMS ships to focus fire them
So all 3 ships have a weird synergy that works
Eldridge instead of Laffey II on torpmemes?
Without Eldridge, your frontline is dead from Lion within the first 10 seconds of the round

BB main guns 

Royal Oak and Warspite change to Mk4
Why Mk4?
Royal Oak maybe not
But definitely for Warspite
Warspite and Lion have similar reloads
If you use same gun, they would jam
Aight, Mk4 it is.
Consist of..lion seyd and alsace?
No
Whatās with people and Alsace

Lion, Seydlitz, Musashi
Ohh i see thanks..lion as flag..got it..how about its vanguard..the usual jintM eldridge kai and laff ii
Sorry ahaha
I gotta ask, how has Musashi survived this long in the meta?
The faster the backline dies, the more valuable tanks are
And Musashi is basically a brick
Budget enough to be functional with scuff gear
Fast enough to not be an Alsace and die before they get to fire

Btw whats with seyd that shes back on the pvp fleet..is she complimenting lion?
No
Seydlitz is like Musashi
Sheās another brick

We realized that because of Lion, Soyuz and Alsace dies too damn quickly
Seydlitz is also cute, which makes her more powerful 
HMS comp is basically letting Royal Oak tank the damage
Seydlitz comp is basically running 3 tanks and the enemy would die before you

When Lion is doing 1.8k burn per tic that ignores damage reduction, concealment, evasion
Nothing else works aside from being flat tanky
And the tanks are laff ii eldridge kai and jintM
was standard the only t0 vanguard comp before lion? I cant remember
You mean, jintsuM, laffi2, eldkai?
yea
Standard was the only one before lion existed
oh I see
is this the rushing strats? I was told to do rushing strats but the guide doesnt mention anything like that
later part of this section
ohh got it, thanks
Does ayanami work in torpmemes if I'm too stubborn to spend bulins on shima 
More rng setup, but if you dont use shima ok
Maybe harbin or unzen can be better?
Harb creates more rng for eld procs
Also unzen š
So aya is your choice
Aya is your best choice...
Ibuki with Augment its doable too in some occasions, IF YOU HAVE HER...
Harb smog when eld š
isn't serenity the guy that loses to himself
Serenity loses to mafia while running teatime š„
Serenity pays people off for rank 1
Serenity just bad at every part of AL
Goose has spoken the truth
I can't tell if you're just trolling or not anymore
don't attribute to malice what is easily explained by incompetence
im using that from now on whenever serenity posts
what if it can be both though 
The Lion does not concern herself with skibidi toilet
thsi anchorage sneak
:alSUS:
i fought a fully gear version of that fleet, she got pummeled
lmao
why is the rank 1 in my server not using the new meta fleet? kinda weird ngl
who gives a shit about pvp
it also just doesn't matter
because this guy just did all his pvp attempts so he's rank 1
true rank1 is rank1 at the very end of the season due to the amount of fluctuation during the day
Don't question it
think of it this way
if they dont change it to adjust to lion meta
your fleet can clear it faster in the last 5 minute marks
the lion does not concern herself with today's sponsor: NordVPN

People can't be assed to change defensive fleets when it matters so little
I once heard a cheater that get high rank with low commander level
I clapped serenity's fleet , it was weak asf
š«µ
š³ļøāšāļø
weren't you the pioneer of the serenity strats, and always gets a high rank at AOTN 
Exercise is the most unbalanced mode in AL. While attack team rely more heavily on main fleet, the main fleet gets instant killed by jintsuu meta easily.
thanks for the input immaculate_kiwi_37139
I remember the era where no one trusted Musashi
People thought she was slow and useless
And here we are

People take time to adjust, usually weeks to months
Unless they are among the few that eos practically every season, you wonāt see adjustments that quickly
Unless they got walled by Lion and went to discord to complain and forced to switch
why adjust to the pvp meta.
i have blood from my pvp fleet that is dripping.
whats with the rise of lion X warspite in pvp
Lion's timed barrage doesn't hit top
Warspite can snipe top with her skill
Which also helps by making HMS ships more likely to hit the targeted shit
What's Full HMS winrate?
We got close to 95% overall
finally, my username is worthy after 500 years
Defence fleet 
alsace and traf in pvp š¤
full HMS 
safety net for warspite iirc. If one HMS bote is about to die, Royal Oak saves her
can read more abt it on wiki or on your own Royal Oak
"I was professor oak and got reincarnated a ship girl called royal oak" ahh anime
full is 6, not 3 
when u playing 
now

This skill
Tanks 50% of damage taken by spoot and lion + zombie + self zombie (her own below 18% heal is sorta ass though
)
shit looks like april fools
Ewww who the fuck updates their fleet
I wake up in a cold sweat and find warspite back in pvp meta
your skill issue is showing
do better next time
your fleet was shit, 
GoT got gutted to fuck.
Lion
Tier 3.
Damn
Lion OP
Wild times innit.
Royal Oak of all ships is in Tier 0. 
GoT gutted to Tier 3
Royal Oak and Warspite in Tier 0
Torpmemes are back tho. 
If I dont have prowler
inconcistency lol
Safe to assume its best to not run eldridge right
finally we get (somewhat) consistent backliners
torpmemes still runs eldy for a bit of stability
wdym soyuz is consistent
50% of the time
Im assuming she doesnt live consistently enough till salvo phase?

Wait im stupid
Why did I say eldridge
I mean
Safe to assume I shouldnt run torpmemes right
wrong spelling 
with lion and the torp threats, yes
My mind autocorrected :kek:
if you're missing prowler could try seydlitz warkai lion
if that's too squishy just use seydlitz musashi lion
Ooh alright
In such a volatile meta where even standard or stall vanguards struggle to survive, might as well go all in on torps
good point
Weird fact
Slashes can still clear Lionās barrage
I think it was a Lion and Laffey vs Laffey
End game
I still won but it was worth noticing
Hmm, I assume shimas more consistent than ibuki for torpmemes?
is it bc of the flooding?
hey guys, is black rock shooter meta
They're not in game yet and no one knows their stats/skills, but no. They won't be. They will likely be meh to sorta good but outclassed by many things.
momo is pretty op for a cruiser tho
can outdps like 4 rainbows at once its funny
power of collab. maybe brs will be good 
- This has nothing to do with pvp.
- Campaign performance does not indicate good pvp performance.
- MVP does not indicate good ship.
- I'm asking is BRS is good in PvP
- Bad campaign ships can be good in PvP and vise versa
- Skill issue
All BRS needs is immortality or high burst DMG and she could be good in pvp 
any pvp defense loadout to crash opponent device plus budget
placing alsace as flagship:
Vanguard might struggle but if you run Kashino, you will win
Another thing I wanted to ask
We know Lionās burn bypassed damage reduction of Musashi
Now I want to double down on that
Does Lionās burn also bypass WNTās damage reduction
And even whether Lionās burn bypass attacker advantage, the bonusā 20% damage reduction
Basically, how far does this rabbit hole go
does lion bypass every dmg reduction
You can find BlueRender talking about dots in 2021
It'd be pretty busted if Lion's burn ignored all damage reduction everywhere
ignoring attacker advantage is funny
Fortune Meta just to clear the first barrage lmao
Fortune meta still annoying
I ran into an old fleet vs fortune
Cleared ez but fortune still clears :kek:
Hereās vid of testing before and after
Lion has damage reduction, Soyuz doesnāt
Enemy Lion doesnāt have WNT
The test is comparison before and after WNT
Hmm
I might retest it
Cus enemy has Alsace
So we canāt see Lionās burn clearly
Alright here, both cases show 647 burn damage per tic regardless if it was before or after WNT
Thatās defense wise, now for offense wise
Offense wise, without WNT is 1428 burn per tic
With WNT, it is still 1428 burn per tic
Essentially
Regardless if it is on offense or defense
Burn damage isnāt affected by damage reduction of a shipās skill
And it also isnāt affected by damage reduction of items
yeah because Lionflame is a special DOT
Crazy OP
As for how to test whether attackerās advantage applies
That would be more difficult
The only way ig is to have 2 Lions with exact same build and stats for burn comparison
Which currently is difficult to test
Tho chances are Lionās burn ignores that as well
AL cares much more about the balance in META battles than exercise. The exercise buffs and debuffs have been outdated for a few years already.
It is balanced, it applies to everyone 

You either adapt or you get walled and complain
In later versions, attack teams no longer have advantages. Torpedos from defence team hits more easily. Eldridge's skill activation rate is higher in defence team. And the DOT damage bypasses the buffs.
If it isnāt considered a bug then it is mechanic

And as far as I know, burn damage isnāt considered in end screen in PVE either
Vanguards in defence fleet tend to take more hits from attack team
Ofc, thatās due to different frontline placement
It is balanced since it applies to everyone
It is a mechanic, you either adapt or you get walled

Manjuu has not updated the mechanisms in exercise for many years.
Does it even need updating? It works
Gotta love reinventing the wheel
If it doesnāt work then I wouldnāt have eos at least like 20 seasons per year

It is simply those who knows the mechanics and those who donāt care enough to bother
Guys is kawakaze meta good at pvp?
she is flat chested
it's automatically a strong distraction ship against you serenity
Serenity will be distracted by that new Janus oath skin.
ABSOLUTE CINEMA
how to be annoying in pvp 
Now you can run Hiryuu with Dead Master and be a pain in the ass
š
Keep up, or be left behind
What item?
Im checking dstamine rn
I feel like im missing something

the new weeb ships suck. oh well. collesctibles be collectibles.
i think the equipment skins look cool iirc. might as well use them
but them who's gonna fund ap



Kid named delusional
Dead before release
will the effect work if the aug is not on dead master? i thought only those ships could equip their augs
He meant run both Hiryuu and DM with the aug (2 ships)
ohh got it
Lion hiryuu DM to stall as much as possible on defence fleets 
If the vanguard dies in 15s and the CVs proc the death stall not long after then that's like a 30s battle 
So rare in these trying times
seyd hiryuu dm

Lion is there so that the enemy takes dot while being stalled to death 
Imagine having to reset to oneshot both of the 15s stall CVs early to avoided a guaranteed 15s of lion dot damage
doesnt lion burn persist after death
Wait, is this comp actually not a meme?
Chat did I cook something
cook deez
I will 
Janus is ready for pvp 
only +10 torpedo what a noob
Where UR AA
