I'm in my pve era right now, even though I have access to the silly meta PvP fleets now

@lusty hill hes bullying me say something

viral gust
#

who should i put beaver badge on?

#

(assume they are 125)

zinc phoenix
#

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

viral gust
zinc phoenix
#

also musashi usually takes center for barrage reasons

viral gust
#

but thanks ill switch them

zinc phoenix
#

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

viral gust
#

thanks

#

just another question

#

why is pearl tears good on backline?

zinc phoenix
#

pearl is good on anyone who dies early

viral gust
#

backline dies early???

vale minnow
#

she gets nuked

zinc phoenix
#

sometimes, and alsace is less hardy than musashi and soyuz (especially with fairy magic)

viral gust
#

alr guys tysm

zinc phoenix
#

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

bright mauve
viral gust
#

yea you are right backline feels so fragile compared to vanguards ive just tried it

vale minnow

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)

for lion users, her burn performing or no?

Her burn is OP

If you squint, the word ā€œburnā€ looks like ā€œbumā€. EssexWheeze

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 MurmStare

stable dawn
#

@whole salmon so was it ever proven if gear skins sometimes had different hitboxes? And does CN have any known info about it?

whole salmon
#

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

stable dawn
#

I remember yuki oath skin was smaller than her default

#

waaaay back

lusty hill
#

it doesn't matter what the game thinks

#

what matter is that you believe in it

brazen socket
#

Btw, how consistent does lion survive against torp one shots

lusty hill
#

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

graceful veldt
#

Doesnt lion take decreased damage from torps?

brazen socket
#

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

valid oxide
#

Doesn't matter how well she tanks if you just run her with royal oak ShiWoke

Shiburin has updated their fleet. This is now the latest meta for pvp. Copy the fleet now

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.

#

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.

valid oxide
#

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 BuckyPride

year 2032. Game had an update where backline ships now move like vanguard ships and positioned further away from vanguard.

whole salmon
#

It’s me isn’t it

fickle echo
#

Yes

whole salmon
#

I haven’t watched the vid but I saw Seydlitz

fickle echo
#

Btw full burn and torp memes failed badly

#

Torps would just go into rainbow bridge or miss most of the time

whole salmon
#

My Royal Oak isn’t 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

junior trench
#

So, how are people feeling about Triple HMS (I put forward the name Tea Chuggers) vs Lion + 2 URs?

whole salmon
#

Royal Oak and Seydlitz comps are definitely viable

whole salmon
valid oxide
#

How is it looking with laffii Vs torp memes

whole salmon
#

Depends on your playstyle

#

If you put in Soyuz or Alsace then your dps increases

#

You may end fight faster or whiff everything

junior trench
#

Is there a sense of RPS?

whole salmon
#

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

junior trench
whole salmon
#

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

valid oxide
#

Are we going back to gambling times like back when rock paper scissors was a thing then

whole salmon
#

Not really

#

The damage comps are extremely paper

#

Both Soyuz and Alsace have no survivability

valid oxide
#

Oh, I'm safe then I just gotta level royal oak ShiSleep

whole salmon
#

Lion Soyuz Alsace is basically just gambling on whether you can outdamage the enemy

junior trench
#

Next UR that comes out be like ā€œwhen your BBs fire their main gun, they are invulnerable for 10 secondsā€ EssexWheeze

whole salmon
#

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

whole salmon
#

If you want tanks, go with Seydlitz or Royal Oak comps

#

If you want damage, slap Lion with either Alsace, Soyuz or Musashi

junior trench
#

Made mention of earlier, but has there been any decisions on new fleet names?

fickle echo
#

At least they can win a lot of fights without all ships losing almost all their hp

valid oxide
#

Is it generally agreed upon who tanks in the standard vanguard or is it preference

whole salmon
#

I prefer Eldridge tanks but ik a lot of people still use Jintsuu M tank

fickle echo
#

I think anyone is fine aside from Laffey II, because you really need her having as much hp as possible

whole salmon
#

Yeah anyone aside from Laffey

valid oxide
#

Thanks, I was wondering because I switched to eld tank recently and it felt better than jintm tank I was using before

fickle echo
#

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

junior trench
#

Would 52 be worthwhile to use on the vanguard for Triple HMS? I don’t have JintM up yet and don’t have Shima.

fickle echo
#

I dunno I don't have her to be sure

#

I was too busy being dead during her event to get her EssexWheeze

valid oxide
#

I logged in once did my dailies and then disappeared for the rest of the event BuckyPride

whole salmon
#

You could always just go with Harbin

#

Actually no, don’t use Harbin

#

It might mess up Eldridge proc

junior trench
#

Sounds like me during Fitz Rumey. I wish I didn’t miss her, she’s so cool but I was busy with IRL stuff HakuCry

whole salmon
#

Hmm, ig you can test Trafalga

fickle echo
#

Ibuki is good nowadays after the augment

whole salmon
#

If you are using 3 HMS anyways then might as well test Trafalga

junior trench

#

She just performs like a discount Laffey with HMS buff so might as well

#

Some I have twice of

junior trench
#

I’ll eventually catch up, it just will take me a little longer.

whole salmon
#

I’m getting my 2nd Trafalga for the memes

#

I think I had to retire some Shimas since I keep getting them

#

Cba raising them

junior trench
#

I still need to get Shima at some point.

whole salmon
#

I want to use my Bulins damn it

valid oxide
#

I won't raise shima because I am somewhat convinced she is dead now

whole salmon
#

I reached the boomer phase of needing to retire bulins to clear dock space

#

Weirdly enough

#

I didn’t get Little Anchorage

#

Not because I didn’t farm enough

#

But because I simply forgot to claim

junior trench
#

So, no Harbin I guess because of Eldridge Kai?

valid oxide
#

Harbin is fine just gamble better Blessex

whole salmon
#

And now I have to wait like a year

flint python
#

real tech is bring back gridmann

junior trench
#

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.

junior trench

#

Ibuki could work as Ari mentioned

Fate 5 Ibuki with Aug

You could go Juneau

And have Juneau tank instead

Enemy’s Lion is going to burn your frontline anyways

#

Might as well get a heal out of it

Is Juneau back šŸŽ

junior trench
junior trench

#

Smoke messes with Eldridge

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

junior trench
#

So Juneau Tank, Eldridge Off Tank, who middle?

whole salmon
#

Laffey

junior trench
#

EssexWheeze isn’t she now no where near as good?

whole salmon
#

If you are lacking in alternatives

#

Then you should still run her

She is still good, lion just opens the opportunity for other vanguards to kick her

Very interesting

#

CN definitely burnt the kitchen

junior trench
vale minnow
whole salmon
#

They run some weird ass comp

#

Seydlitz comp backline but the frontline is mbruh

#

Eldridge Juneau Jintsuu

#

Instead of Laffey

vale minnow
whole salmon
#

All 3 test is about Seydlitz comp and HMS comp

#

It seems they narrowed into their favorites

nimble fox
whole salmon
#

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)

gloomy sand
whole salmon
#

And Eldridge Juneau Jintsuu M (wonky ass comp)

#

Tell them to never cook again

#

Just kidding, this actually sounds funny

#

I’ll test it for the memes

junior trench
valid oxide
#

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)

valid oxide
#

You caught me šŸŽšŸŽ

whole salmon
#

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%

junior trench
#

Colonialism FTW

whole salmon
#

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

valid oxide
#

Clearly NJ holds it Blessex

whole salmon
#

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

whole salmon
#

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

junior trench
#

Nah, Defense is for memes

distant gulch
#

ShiSleep wake me up when we settled on a meta

junior trench
#

And Waifus

valid oxide
#

Defence is for me to put a meta fleet with 0 gear on because I'm a tourist now šŸ„€

junior trench
#

I still eventually want to do the Neptunia Defense fleet, but it’s tough setting aside bulins sometimes.

#

Because they’re still not all MLB after like 6 or 7 years EssexWheeze

junior trench
#

Is it better to farm the 533 Magnetic Auxiliary in the Archives? Or to buy them from the shop?

distant gulch

#

@nimble fox

#

Essentially Lion Alsace Soyuz is too paper

nimble fox
#

on offense?

whole salmon
#

DPS is highest but consistency is low

nimble fox
#

I couldn't care less abt defense fleet

whole salmon
#

If you want to run something similar then run Lion Musashi Soyuz

#

Which yielded more consistent results

nimble fox
#

hmm, then Lion gonna have to take place of alsace

whole salmon
#

Alsace became too paper

#

Died too quickly

nimble fox
#

I still find that the pre-load is invaluable in dealing with vanguards

#

but I'll try

whole salmon
#

Lion and Soyuz is enough

#

No need Alsace

whole salmon
#

This one Ari tested against me

#

Lion Alsace Soyuz still works for now since people aren’t running their own Lion yet

#

But once people do run their own Lion on defense then Alsace being that paper isn’t going to cut it for consistency’s sake

nimble fox
#

duly noted

#

is my lion's gear correct? @whole salmon

whole salmon
#

There’s improvements but overall it is viable

nimble fox
#

rat aa need a week or 2

whole salmon
#

You could set them as goals later down the line

#

For 457 and the UR AA

nimble fox
fickle echo
#

Use sword instead of crossbow and a DD aux gun with more range is better to do damage to Laffey II

nimble fox
#

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

vale minnow
#

406 would overlap with soyuz

fickle echo
#

The gun depends on who you're using with her, just so she won't fire at the same time as other ship

whole salmon
#

The main damage comes from barrage 1

#

Which has Lionflame

#

And that is fixed timings

nimble fox
#

Alsace/Soyuz/Lion for now

whole salmon
#

The barrage 2 that is tied to main gun fire is a different one with less damage

junior trench
#

I have just made the ultimate Meme Fleet OwariWOKE

#

All shall quiver in fear

nimble fox
#

is it a smart move?

distant gulch
#

no

fickle echo
#

You want Soyuz with the faster gun because her barrage hits as soon as she loads

distant gulch
#

soyuz always get mk4

nimble fox
#

hmm

#

one more thing

#

I don't get why soyuz is better than musashi

distant gulch
#

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

whole salmon
#

I mean the issue never was whether Soyuz or Musashi was better

#

The issue has always been Alsace is too paper

#

That’s why Seydlitz comp and Royal Oak comp exist

#

So we can get rid of Alsace

distant gulch
#

i feel like alsace also isnt gonna be completely out as well

whole salmon
#

She’s still a strong pick

#

But at the end of the day, it is moves and counter moves

#

Just like how Alsace kicked Fortune Meta’s ass out of the meta

nimble fox
whole salmon
#

Now Lion just makes everything on the backline feels like paper

nimble fox
#

But Alsace w/o Soyuz is just not it weirdly

whole salmon
#

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

vale minnow
whole salmon
#

Yeah

distant gulch
#

yeah soyuz is instant

vale minnow
whole salmon
#

Soyuz barrage doesn’t proc on fire, it procs on reload

#

And it has no delay

distant gulch
#

musashi is like... sword slash down, then lightning next 2s

nimble fox
whole salmon
#

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

distant gulch

p2w rld

#

pvp should remove oath status

#

@dev you hear me

vale minnow

#

Lion is more ridiculous tho

vale minnow
#

my lion finally pvp ready

whole salmon
#

The more you learn about Lion, the more you question the game’s mechanics

vale minnow
#

why survive when you can win

whole salmon
#

Lion’s burn doesn’t 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

distant gulch
#

ignoring concealment is the one that i feel really bullshit

#

like wtf is this

vale minnow

i support

it even hits submarine ffs

#

LOL

#

how does that make any sense

nimble fox
whole salmon
#

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

# wary berry 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

To think Warspite’s barrage causing HMS ships to force target an enemy is actually useful in this day and age

#

You can use to kill Soyuz

#

Tho I don’t agree with NJ being there

#

The Musashi Lion NJ

#

Ik it is there so NJ can counter Warspite

ornate lake
#

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

whole salmon
#

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

#

No complains

I just tested it right know

For like 2-3 days

#

Also for anyone planning to use Soyuz

#

Don’t use MK4

#

Warspite MK4 outspeeds Soyuz

#

Instead use Hood Gun

#

Or place Soyuz at bottom

#

In which case you get burnt by Lion anyways

Normally you wouldn’t have the jamming issue between Musashi and Soyuz

Because thank god Alsace is running triple gun

But then you have Lion

#

The hell does this mean?

whole salmon
#

Just incase people doesn’t believe in triple HMS comp

grim solar
#

Fucking doubters.

#

Smh.

whole salmon
#

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

grim solar
#

It does feel strange seeing Royal Oak and Warspite of all ships on the top of the list.

whole salmon
#

So instead of Warspite sniping top position, it is now Musashi’s barrage doing that sniping

#

Instead of Royal Oak doing the tanking then you have Seydlitz

#

Both fleets are essentially sidegrade of each other

whole salmon
#

Fulfills the same role but way tankier

#

Lion also outspeeds Alsace most of the time

#

And has way stronger burns

whole salmon
#

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 barrage’s focus targeting allows for all 3 HMS ships to focus fire them

#

So all 3 ships have a weird synergy that works

grim solar
#

Eldridge instead of Laffey II on torpmemes?

whole salmon
#

Without Eldridge, your frontline is dead from Lion within the first 10 seconds of the round

I gotta ask, how has Musashi survived this long in the meta?

whole salmon

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

ornate cosmos
whole salmon
#

No

#

Seydlitz is like Musashi

#

She’s another brick

#

We realized that because of Lion, Soyuz and Alsace dies too damn quickly

junior trench
#

Seydlitz is also cute, which makes her more powerful Blessex

whole salmon
#

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

Another thing I wanted to ask

#

We know Lion’s burn bypassed damage reduction of Musashi

#

Now I want to double down on that

#

Does Lion’s burn also bypass WNT’s damage reduction

#

And even whether Lion’s burn bypass attacker advantage, the bonus’ 20% damage reduction

#

Basically, how far does this rabbit hole go

knotty hazel
#

does lion bypass every dmg reduction

trail temple
#

You can find BlueRender talking about dots in 2021

#

Here’s vid of testing before and after

#

Lion has damage reduction, Soyuz doesn’t

#

Enemy Lion doesn’t have WNT

#

The test is comparison before and after WNT

#

Hmm

#

I might retest it

#

Cus enemy has Alsace

#

So we can’t see Lion’s burn clearly

#

Alright here, both cases show 647 burn damage per tic regardless if it was before or after WNT

#

That’s defense wise, now for offense wise

#

Offense wise, without WNT is 1428 burn per tic

#

With WNT, it is still 1428 burn per tic

distant gulch
#

hmm yes...

#

i understood some of these words

whole salmon
#

Essentially

#

Regardless if it is on offense or defense

#

Burn damage isn’t affected by damage reduction of a ship’s skill

#

And it also isn’t affected by damage reduction of items

distant gulch
#

yeah because Lionflame is a special DOT

graceful veldt
#

Crazy OP

whole salmon
#

As for how to test whether attacker’s 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
