Use Mogador gun on Laffey if possible

#

I forgot to switch back

#

I haven’t thought that far yet

#

If you have Mogador gun on Laffey then ig run the Rainbow IJN HE DD gun on Z52

#

If not then Mogador gun on Z52 and barrage gun on Laffey

Thanks, though iirc mine already uses it, will check later.

I can't believe we finally got CVs back in PvP in the form of Admiral Nekomeow

wouldn't percy warkai counter this completely

#

Nakhimov resets her conceal when she hits 40% hp

stable dawn
#

no you just snipe lion bottom with warkai and use percy to make aure she gets splashed by barrages

#

since their main dps source is lion

#

percy is just to flex on people because she's cute

valid oxide
#

So we just go back to spoot swapping like the old days (like when I used warkai despite her being very not meta because I was a newer player who wanted PvP BuckyPrideAnim)

stable dawn

#

Switching out Royal Oak? Enemy still have Seydlitz

#

I do like the Percy idea tho but not with Warspite

#

There’s a lot of ships that can be used with Seydlitz Lion

#

You can run standard Musashi, sweep with Nakhimov or even experiment with Glorious Meta

#

There’s also Deadmaster

#

I still need to test out Dead Master + Nakhimov

whole salmon
#

But that wouldn’t work on Glorious Meta

#

If you use preload to spot Glorious Meta, she might already reach 30 stacks immediately

#

Which means she reconceal before Warspite even has a chance to fire the first Divine Marksman

less than a month, even

whole salmon
#

The Lion’s burn will get her to proc her stacks faster

#

May work on offense but I haven’t tested

whole salmon
#

The defensive team deals 20% less damage due to what we call “attacker’s advantage”

#

However, Lion’s burn damage bypasses this

#

What also bypasses this is Glorious’ damage reflection

#

Since Glorious’ damage reflection is calculated on the attacker’s damage instead, not defender’s. Therefore it won’t be hit by the 20% damage reduction debuff that defenders get

#

Just found that worth noting

#

(At this rate, by the end of this year, we might have a fleet that ignores attacker’s advantage entirely)

whole salmon
#

You place Jintsuu Meta first and Eldridge middle

#

This means your Eldridge’s Rainbow is unlikely to proc right from the beginning

#

You would then try to get your Jintsuu Meta to face tank the enemy’s torps

#

That would proc Jintsuu’s invul, meaning she doesn’t die

#

However, if you have Glorious Meta, she would reflect all of the damage that Jintsuu just taken back to the enemy

#

Potentially insta killing the enemy Eldridge at the beginning of the round

#

It is a gamble since enemy Eldridge can still proc Rainbow before your Jintsuu takes damage

Glorious meta is starting to sound alot scarier Noteshiro

knotty hazel
#

glorious meta be meta

worldly ore
#

Doesn't glorious meta only reflect back 5% of the damage tick from burns though

#

Doesn't seem like a good trade off if you're taking 500 burn damage but you only reflecting 25 damage, even if the reflection damage stacks a bit

#

Plus, you're probably reflecting into an invul Eldridge vanguard anyway, since the vanguard would always be the nearest enemy. Ten seconds of no reflection damage at all

whole salmon
#

Once both sides invul are off, with Glorious Meta, you will win the frontline fight easier

#

Laffey’s damage are capped to % of HP, so the damage reflection will cause their Laffey to die faster than yours

#

And let’s not forget other stuff Glorious Meta can do

#

She can heal your entire frontline and herself

#

She can reconceal so burn won’t spot her like other CV

#

She can also redirect Warspite’s aim to Seydlitz as she is a concealed CV

#

Oh and with double Wyvern, she can also nuke backline

#

Because unlike other CVs, Glorious Meta sends out 2 airstrikes when she fires, not 1

#

Her only disadvantage is that once she is spotted, she is stupidly paper

#

But that’s the risk you get when you play CVs in pvp

whole salmon
#

Slap in Mogador gun on Laffey and 3 French torps for frontline, add Seydlitz to that and combo off with Lion

#

And you would likely win the frontline fight every time

#

When so many fights these days end in Laffey standoffs, these are steps we have to take

whole salmon
#

If you don’t believe then I’ll just show you

#

Keep in mind that my Glorious Meta is only level 122 with 88 affinity

#

And this is the worst possible matchup with Musashi bottom position to hit Glorious through concealment

#

And I also put Glorious bottom so she can get burnt by Lion instead of top

#

And this is opponent’s fleet

worldly ore
# whole salmon

Oh yeah, now that I think about it, gloroius meta could be a great counter to laffey 2 LaffeyDrink
Especially when the laffey is the last enemy vanguard alive, just lots of infinite separate tick damage that's too low for Laffey's damage reduction skill to kick in
Death by a thousand cuts lol

whole salmon
#

I don’t think this is a fullproof idea either

#

It has a lot of holes

#

Just like how enemy Eldridge can be bursted down, so can your Eldridge

#

Glorious Meta also can be countered by Musashi or just getting torped or burnt or whatever

#

But it is worth it of an experiment

worldly ore
#

I'm just happy it seems like CV's might come back into the meta Blessex

#

Maybe it'll get admiral nakhimov and glorious meta and dead master on the PvP sheet, since those seem to be CV's most people are cooking with right now

#

I'll try out some other ones too for viability

whole salmon
#

I don’t think the meta is set in stone yet

#

It is still relatively volatile

#

One thing is certain tho and that is Lion is used in all of them

#

Lion Seydlitz is stupidly strong but the question is still that 3rd position

#

For this current state, I still prefer the last spot to be Nakhimov

whole salmon
#

There’s also one that I like to showcase

#

That is how Glorious Meta can be used to counter Shimakaze Jintsuu Meta

#

We all know Shima comps can burst down your frontline if you aren’t careful

#

But now so can you burst them down

#

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t still a gamble tho

#

If enemy Eldridge proc then it is still tough luck

whole salmon
#

The other half doesn’t work since their Eldridge proc first and your frontline didn’t reflect anything

#

In other words…

brazen socket
#

Do you guys even do 5 minute before reset strat in this volatile of a meta

#

I sometimes gotta reset so much I just do a lot of my attempts early in the fear I might get stalled

#

laffey duels have me on my seat PortDoll its really annoying

#

it feels like reliving the bare bone meta of 2018 before events started rolling out and you just have enterprises duking it out

deft escarp
whole salmon
#

You see how in the second fight

#

When Glorious Meta got torped and killed by Musashi

#

The red zone still remains at frontline’s feet

#

That means damage reflection is still up even after your Glorious Meta dies

whole salmon
#

Afterwards, you would win the frontline fight / Laffey duel

#

And go onto sweep the remaining backline

whole salmon
#

As long as damage reflection is up

#

You would win Laffey duel

whole salmon
#

So even if Glorious Meta is killed after launching her airstrikes

#

You would still win the frontline regardless

#

In other words, gambling

I still like using Nakhimov more

lusty hill
#

Nakhimov is hotter

#

But glorious meta has better outfit

gloomy sand
#

honse game good?

whole salmon
#

Here’s more Glorious Meta propaganda

#

Another thing of note

#

Glorious Meta can sometimes save your ships from getting dying cus she can also heal

#

I thought the heal was minor but it came in clutch quite a few times

#

Glorious Meta’s damage is also stupidly high due to the fact she has double launching

#

And 8 +13 Wyverns flying at the enemy means ez backline wipe

#

How to counter her then I thought of 2 methods

whole salmon
#

Secondly is to use Musashi to attack whatever place Glorious Meta is stationed at. This works for other CVs as well

#

And final method as proposed by Borgar the other day, using Lion Warspite Perseus

#

Surprisingly Perseus heal may actually be able to stabilize your frontline from french torp bursts, burns and damage reflection

stable dawn
#

wtf I was trolling

junior trench
#

Why Perseus over Unicorn?

distant gulch
#

perseus two preload

#

unicorn one

#

and maths say 2 is greater than 1

#

thus perseus>unicorn

stable dawn
#

the issue is percy has terrible plane efficiency and an airstrike cooldown increase, so she's basically doing 1.5 airstrikes at the start of the battle then falls asleep and waits for death

#

@whole salmon also, how would a mirror match of Glorious METAs work? Would they just duplicate reflected damage infinitely?

whole salmon
#

It can go as low as only 60% wr

stable dawn
#

ah so we're back to late 2023

whole salmon
#

This is due to damage reflection’s mechanic

#

Think of it like this

#

If you deal 100 damage, enemy would reflect 5% of 100

#

But the enemy would only deal 80 damage due to attacker’s advantage

#

However, this means you only reflect 5% of 80

#

In other words, attacker’s advantage is irrelevant

stable dawn
#

so you're saying they've made a ship that is worse as an attacker

whole salmon
#

Glorious Meta is a stabilizer

stable dawn
#

where have I seen this before?

whole salmon
#

Same goes for Lion

#

Both Lion’s burn and Glorious Meta’s damage reflection essentially ignores attacker’s advantage

#

In which case the only way you can beat your enemy is by either out-gearing them or luck

#

That’s why I said these types of meta is dangerous

#

Back then, attacker always have 80%-90% win rate in exact mirror matches due to attacker’s advantage

stable dawn
#

well in that case it loops back around to a normal DPS meta

#

kill them before they kill you

whole salmon
#

However with these style of comps basically ignoring that, you essentially have a coin toss

with bis2 black hole being better on defense

whole salmon
#

If you somehow have like

#

6 rainbow planes at +13

#

5 of which being torp bombers like me

#

You can run Nakhimov on offense and Glorious Meta on defense

#

And be absolute cancer

valid oxide
stable dawn
#

still cheaper than 2022 weeb fleet tbh

#

let alone foxwall

#

I think foxwall was like 7 UR planes required just to make it work properly

whole salmon
#

For Nakhimov, always put her at top position

#

For Glorious Meta, if bottom ship is Warspite or Lion, put her bottom. With low backline pressure then you can let her take the burn to get stacks faster

#

However, if bottom ship is Musashi, put her top

#

Glorious Meta needs to avoid Musashi at all costs

#

Unlike Nakhimov, Glorious Meta is extremely paper and will die to Musashi’s barrage even if she is concealed

stable dawn
#

she dies to a bad sneeze

whole salmon
#

Another thing of note

#

If you don’t have 2 +13 Wyvern or +13 Spearfish, chances are you are better off with Musashi

#

If your CV launches their airstrike and their Musashi or Lion are still alive with higher than 60% HP then you are cooked

#

The point of a CV sweep is that you basically win as long as your CV fires and your frontline is alive

#

But if after your CV fires and the enemy’s backline isn’t fully crippled then…tough luck lmao

whole salmon
#

Once Nakhimov can’t fully sweep the enemy Musashi or Lion then it becomes a lot more risky

#

Think of it is a soft dps check

#

Cus I mean, Warspite’s auto targeting would screw over everyone

#

Having 3 BBs firing AP shells against DDs isn’t going to do anything

#

Tho I still think you need Lion

#

I don’t think you can win frontline fight consistently with Glorious Meta alone

junior trench
#

Warspite will delete Lion though

whole salmon
#

Yep but that’s no issue

#

Put Hood gun on Lion and she outspeeds them

#

She only needs to get her first launch off and it’s all good

#

Once the frontline fight is won, the CVs will handle the rest

#

Lion is just there so you would win the frontline fight. That’s it

fickle echo
#

@whole salmon I had an idea, use Alsace+Lion to kill your vanguard at the start and if it fails I had Soyuz with 457 so she would fire when the Eldridge's skill is already on cooldown

whole salmon
#

Interesting, by increasing overall damage output and sacrificing survivability

fickle echo
#

Works most of the time unless I lose the Eld rng

whole salmon
#

Soyuz definitely works yes

#

Triple HMS has too little frontline pressure so it would fail

fickle echo
#

Sometimes Soyuz decides to target the main fleet when there are 3 vanguards alive Ehhssex

whole salmon
#

So you increased frontline pressure

#

Yeah this idea is viable

whole salmon

#

If she dies early then it is pretty much a loss since the other 2 ships have no damage

So perhaps there is a way to exploit that

Hmm, I might try something new

#

Let me see if this is collab item or not

I might have this

#

There we go

#

Extra gambling

#

The other is this

#

Both of which increases RLD stat, which means Glorious Meta can fire faster

#

It likely doesn’t decrease the airstrike load time as much as 4% of Beacon but it provides HP for increased survivability

whole salmon
# whole salmon

Use this if your Glorious Meta has survivability issues instead of Beacon

whole salmon
#

33% chance to have the buff applied to the whole team

#

Since you are running 1 HMS, 1 KMS, 2 META and 2 USS, it will provide 4% team wide buff

whole salmon
#

Yeah that too

#

Since her heal is based off of her HP

#

Either of them works honestly. The red one is more reliable but provides less buff. The blue one provides more buff but only has 33% chance to be the one that you want

valid oxide
#

How can you even tell what you gambled with RPG interface again ShiWoke

whole salmon
#

No clue

#

You could also replace oil instead of beacon

#

But I haven’t tested that yet

valid oxide
#

Wouldn't replacing oil reduce her backline damage

whole salmon
#

We have oil because it reduces the time the planes have under AA and increases overall end screen damage correct

#

But with this comp, wouldn’t the frontline be clapped already

#

Hmm, replacing Beacon still feels like a safer choice overall

#

And instead of Hornet then you can run Pirate

valid oxide

That’s a decent idea

#

I’ll run both

#

Question im seeing glorious meta being used...does cv fleet on pvp is becoming a meta

unkempt vortex
#

but the torp party on her was really nice

whole salmon
#

The issues so far with CVs is simply that if you lose the frontline fight, you are cooked. A Laffey can solo your CV

#

But Glorious Meta’s damage reflection and heal allows you to consistently win the frontline fight, thus mitigating a key weakness

#

Therefore, if everything goes well, Glorious Meta won’t be spotted for the entire duration of the fight (concealment clearing means burn can’t spot and not losing frontline means no spotting there either)

whole salmon
whole salmon
#

Their barrages ignores concealment and can kill Glorious Meta before she launches since she is paper

whole salmon
# whole salmon

Back then I tried the strategy to launch as fast as possible using Beacon, so if she does die then she can get a proc off. But I swapped to these HP items as they give reload stat

#

The state of pvp is still volatile, I still think another comp could come around to counter this one

#

What is for certain tho is that Glorious Meta hard counters Triple HMS and is hard countered by Musashi

gloomy sand
#

rock paper scissors?

whole salmon
#

In a way yes

#

Triple HMS still have advantage against BB comps due to her simply sniping the Soyuz or Musashi dead

#

CV comp still hard counter Triple HMS as CV can win frontline fight and 1 turn clear backline

#

And UR BB comps counter CV comps as Musashi and Soyuz bypasses CV concealment

I would run a semi niche comp that beats the common def fleet

And since no one on Lexington is actually crazy enough to run Glorious Meta aside from me currently, it seems like a decent strategy

Quite a few players on Lexi have swapped to Nakhimov also for this reason

Hmm let’s check on Quyet

Oh he’s using Seyd, knows proper gear as well

It was to exploit how the fact rockets count as multiple individual hits rather than bursts so you could kill Laffey with it

But now that Nakhimov comps and Glorious Meta comps are being brought up, I found it relevant to mention it here

stable dawn
#

that and since she can be coined, everyone and their mom now has FS5 FdG

#

or have her fully locked

#

there is no in between

whole salmon
#

It’s interesting how some old creative tech can still be used

#

I think fate 4 FDG has a 93%+ wr against modern CV comps because of that

whole salmon
#

Chances of you running into one tho is nonexistent

Or of Glorious Meta comps

whole salmon
#

The Fate 4 FDG against Glorious Meta comp isn’t even being done by CN

#

But instead by Taiwan server

#

Perhaps it is time to broaden the horizon a bit

stable dawn
#

I forgot there was a TW server

whole salmon
#

Usually I ignore TW and KR servers due to them being behind

#

But sometimes they do bring up interesting concepts

#

How long has brah been gone

Haven’t seen him in a long while

#

Oh and remember I brought up the RPG Adventure thing

#

It works when it is CV comp vs 3 BBs

#

However when it is CV vs CV comp, there’s some minor hiccups

#

One of the proc chance is that they would send a plane barrage

#

This is an issue because Wyverns would respond to incoming planes

#

So if you use Wyverns on your Nakhimov, it would respond to that barrage, which then triggers the enemy’s fighters and wyverns to respond to yours

#

This it may spot you early due to crash damage

whole salmon
#

I was using Glorious M while he was using Nakhimov

whole salmon
stable dawn
#

wouldn't it just whiff on a laff2 drone though

whole salmon
#

Spearfish still sends torps

#

But the most important part is that it doesn’t intercept

#

Although in pve, it is a good thing

#

In pvp, it could lead to your CV spotting itself

whole salmon
#
  • Shal’s Nakhimov responds with Fighter and Wyvern
#
  • My Glorious Meta responds with Fighter and Wyvern
#

Nakhimov doesn’t concealment wipe until it reaches 40% HP

#

While my Glorious Meta wiped concealment at 30 stacks

#

My CV wasn’t spotted, his Nakhimov was. And that decided the fight

stable dawn
#

in that case wouldn't it also be better to use a non intercept rocket fighter too

whole salmon
#

Nothing against Wyverns specifically, we still used it a ton back then

#

Just that it is something to look out for

#

Since if the RPG adventure didn’t proc, Nakhimov would still be concealed as usual

#

And ofc you wouldn’t run into this issue against 3 BB comps either

stable dawn
#

this is so niche because people already use pearl + cyanide/bouquet instead of rng interface

#

on eldy

whole salmon
#

Yeah but it is just something I found interesting

#

Since we may revisit this tech in the future

#

It is still super niche tho

#

Since you are still banking on a 33% chance

stable dawn
#

more likely we'll get another barrage BB that invalidates all concealment like old riche burn

whole salmon
#

Then we go back to IJN torp meme shenanigans

#

And return Fortune Meta back to her glory days

stable dawn
#

no even better. We'll get piercing torps as a skill for a UR

#

imagine nuking the entire vg, then the torps pass through and kill 3 backline enemies

Yamashiro and her sister ship are the only two ships in the game to get worse after a retrofit. Mostly because they actually lose gun mounts just to equip Seaplanes (which aren’t that great).

Kansas probably gonna be another chap 15 bb, watch

Mecklenburg is up in the air, I expect her to be a normal good at PvP BB, but she could always be one of the few that's not really geared towards it.

I mean, Raffaello and UvH aren't PvP ships but arguably still good.

nimble fox

I haven't seen any good DR ships for PvP in a while now

#

Napoli is on par with anchorage, but anchorage can use manjuu

#

Kearsarge is even flakier then Alsus, despite massive damage against light armor

junior trench
#

Kearsarge did have a temporary use in the Meta. But just didn't stay for very long

#

I mean, at this point, I'd argue Mecklenburg would have to do something very specific to get into the current meta. Unless she's Lion levels of broken.
