Yukikaze is more stable than Jintsuu M
interesting
And since she has flood now, her damage isn’t bad
But the main thing is still her backline cover
So it reduces the chance of a ship getting sniped ever so slightly
Ofc, you would also not be able to snipe with her
Most of my fights have my Yukikaze and Laffey both survive after 20 seconds
Yukikaze would die soon after but she lasts long enough even in main tank
Eldridge is off tank but she always dies before Yukikaze

What server are you again?
Lexington
💀
Imagay kinda dead
Yk, I came out of retirement, just to overcap day 2 and get a horrible captain set 
Also maint means I don’t need to bag and can sleep
you guys are somehow deader than washy and sandy now


Who let you out of the retirement home
I am free thats why
Nothing can replace Lion right?
I was too unlucky on her banner

Man I think I shouldn't have gotten FDG to fs5 now that I think about it
no
basically the whole pvp meta revolves around lio nrn
yamato
<@&460646206851252224> obliterate his balls
Which comp is currently meta as Attack team?
please check the pinned guide, it is updated with the recent ships
no
clearly you don’t know
sure...
me when i didn’t play pvp in 2023:
me when u using pvp 2023 standards to speak:
rip, Overcapped 5 battles
Today losses is tomorrow victory

Is this what pvp is about

Plays Jaws theme
aoste spotted
We need anzeel in PVP
why is FDG FS5 considered bad?
she's just poverty musashi
Before FS5 she can hit concealed CVs because her barrage doesn't target, once she gets FS5 her barrage changes and she can't hit them anymore
Just use Kashino

Lvl. 118. 
nah he's been around for years
I'm pretty sure he exclusively plays PvP
given their absurdly low cmdr level
ty for saving my 1/10 btw




no lion, no eldkai (atm), ouch that's a painful combo...
but you can look at the pvp sheet pinned here and take a look at your options.
Oof
If we go back in time
Slowly trace our steps back
As far back as before Jintsuu era
It should be MSN isn’t it
Anchorage Shima Juneau, Musashi NJ Shinano
Once you get Eldridge, you’ll likely replace Anchorage
If you don’t have Wyverns for Shinano then run Vanguard
I don’t see Soyuz or Alsace either, tough luck
can get Warkai up at least
Seydlitz you can pick up as an option aside from MSN
Jintsuu META, Yukikaze, Felix & Juneau are also options
shinano, hakuhou, nakhimov for your CV options; with nakhimov being the best
I've tried NJ + Lion + Nakhimov, was meh but it did the job after some resets, Musashi + NJ + Warkai you can somewhat build up lol. It can work sure
possible meta change (because of the event auxes) on the upcoming Date a Live 5 collab so watch out for that
here;s some relevant snippets from the sheet
for gears, you can take a look further into the sheet
Best PVP back lines?
Have you at least got the retrofit item?
Realistically, with what you currently have, you're better off exp farming than farming wins. The best vanguard you could get is Jintm, shima and eldkai.

laffey 2 rerun in early 2026 too ig
why do people act as though UR rerun schedule isn't predictable
that's just serenity being serenity
why do people act as though speculation is facts
do you genuinely think that laffey 2 won't rerun in early 2026?
watch him say something stupid
"you guys are lost"
I wouldn't consider speculation as facts
There was a known person in gph spreading speculation about shimakaze rerun and advertising for everyone to see only for it to be 100% wrong
There's a thin line between speculation and misinformation
blud probably doesnt think there'll be a new iphone this fall
or next fall idk
iphone 17 already happened this fal
or like new years ball drop
in ny
there's a difference between evidentiary strengths that give rise to speculation; not all predictions are on that thin line you espouse
this is rich coming from you
yummy waffles
Serenity might be right this time though. The game could eos before laffey II reruns

serenity might be right this time cuz she can rerun anytime, maybe a decade later
Rule number 1 of life: serenity is never right
So even if you are wrong, that would not make him right either

member must be a mention or valid user id.


Kid named what
I have a random cook that I want people to test out themselves to see if it is accurate or not
Firstly, you know how with the comp of Jintsuu, Laffey and Eldridge. During the initial launch of torps, sometimes they may go to the bottom of the screen?
I think I can solve the issue by simply….REMOVING Beaver Badge


Have Boiler still be on Laffey to reach required speed
And that’s it, no need to overcap on speed
The frontline is fast enough and any more speed may be overkill
"Reduce your vanguard's speed so my Seyd and Lion have an easier time hitting them"

Seyd is an issue yeah but Lion would hit regardless of speed

But somehow it is still above 40 average speed breakpoint
Or rather, it is right on 40
I don’t get how it works
With Beaver and no boiler, it results in 44 speed average. Without Beaver and with boiler, you can still get 40 speed average. It is still wonk but possible
I’ll show you vid against Ari
He’s running Mecklenburg Seydlitz Lion
Torp doesn’t go out of bounds
Survivability wise, mine always lasted longer than his
And I didn’t bother to put Laffey middle either
Oh and Glorious didn’t have has 2nd Wyvern, I still have that on Perseus for some wonky Perseus Hiryuu fleet

Yukikaze Laffey Eldridge is also above the speed breakpoint without Beaver
But that’s a different topic
Oh and I don’t mean this works in every comp
It only works in comps where frontline is already inherently fast enough
This then frees up 1 item slot for a backliner to be used on something else
Anyways, random cook is over

like rudder
The Perseus Hiryuu comps really sucks lmao

Practically no damage
Man, even with 3 rainbow planes it still sucks
h
very hot
room temperature
I am seduced
to atoms
i am also seduced
reduced

come back next week for the new season
jokes on them, I've been overcapping all week
3 mins for pvp
Didn’t get all 5 in but managed to climb to 2nd
Only overcapped 1
I saw this with 20 seconds left and didn’t bother lmao

I lived
people saw "monday maintenance" and "3gb update" and didn't zero before maint 
I dint overcap cause i attacked before maintenance 
Me -5, The Booger and No Data -2 
i did 5 in 3 , but ate (-3). i chose easy fleets to fight
same
the thrill was worth it


Is this the new PvP 
no, this is the real pvp
Last one out has to eat it
<@&460646206851252224>
:ranchSexDoorPeek:
Is hakuo good at pvp?
:updog: for yes
:ca: for who's hakuo?
Who are you?
What are you?
Why are you?
When are you?
Where are you?
How are you?


don't forget to thank him later

<@&472236072743600148> empty channel here also
That person should be on the fbi watch list
Dare I say she should listen to the black guy with lighting
Week and a half in, finally got my first win, lol!
(f2p except for that skin, lol, gf and I were feeling fun. xP )
ggs
how the hell do I counter laffeyII, like my fleet can beat ships fleet with higher power than mine and everytime I encounter a LaffeyII, it doesnt matter if their lower power or higher as long as theres a LaffeyII my fleet just gets obliterated like it doesn't matter if I took out the other 2 Vanguards or most of the main fleet since she just lives longer than Tanks and then proceeds to solo my entire fleet
follow the pinned pvp guide and find serenity 
Don't talk to serenity it will be top 10 anime mistakes of all time
Stack Survivability 
Lock in harder
Where is rat gun?
Also magentic torp in pvp
Not even the blessed one
If you married Kashino, you will get richer without doing all of that
But I doubt they see this message cause it’s a bot

Ah, it's just leftovers
Washi so washed. Top will be 2575? 
Can the real borgar stand up please
Can the real serenity stand down
@grim solar thanks for the bonus 

guys
how to increase fleet power from the profile status
and also calculate the ranking score
likely random, isn't it?
Fleet power is the average of all unique ships in your dock im pretty sure
PvP/exercise score is #pvp message
If you married Kashino, your power will increase
I married Mutsuki 

guys, whats the current meta lineup at the top?
there is a pvp sheet pinned here that lists all the top meta lineups & their recommended gears
but in summary, any fleet with Lion is an upgrade over the rest
<@&472236072743600148>
what's the best gear skin for hakuo for pvp?
Um, is the quad 550 really good?
yes, since these are antilight torps and the current frontliner meta involves DDs
kid named torpedo spread never hit anything
the PvP ban skin
I thought they removed pvp from the game
Kid named what
pretty good, I've used it
however the massive investment is a con for this kind of fleet (2 CV)
last time they were relevant was in 2022-23
Fortunately there doesn't seem to be major shifts in meta until later December/January
So can expect to use this for a good while.
Is it tho?
It's not really cooking if he just follows the spreadsheet
and it's easy to beat
there are countless of tech startup yet only fews managed to be as successfull as microsoft
following the guide isn't enough to be the top of the game
What is Serenity on about. 

On you
not even serenity knows

Chat, I think Serenity is off topic again
Who's sextant?
How long has it been since Mafia was relevant?
||I need to retire from PVP||
Didn't Fleet Power also count duplicates of your ships if they were at different limit break levels? Theoretically the highest fleet power would mean you had 4~5 duplicates of every ship (and all those clones were maxed out)
I remember when mafia was cool
Only mafia
Can we bring back preload meta
I'm trying. Massena, Strasbourg and Lion(?). Fun fleet but little weak vs top meta
Waiting for Alsace rerun or perma
guys what rank is ⬜
New player ranking - by colored squares.
White square - one above all
According to the star color chart, it means you're between 6,000–7,300 K
Fifty Shades of White Ranking ⬜
Bismarck's Last Stand
anything but pvp

u can hit top rank while missing 10 battles tbh
just run it up as soon as u get more battles near the end of the season
that be real

Borgar could be leading this for us Washi 
3 Month Leaderboard > 5 Min Leaderboard 
huh? People care about leaderboards?
If I wanted perma fame I'd burn money on fleet power
dont you already
how much fleet power are you at
idk I haven't looked in a few months
top 100?

anyway I just do pvp because it's really funny. The gamemode is so abandoned it doesn't have any modern rewards (gold plates, meta items, cog chips, etc) and the devs care so little they drop hotfixes during set rollovers and never compensate lost exercises or merit when a maint extends.
Plus, we all know if they do update pvp, they'd just turn it into BA's system where you can pay for more tickets

new tempesta ship any good in pvp?
Not as good as Kashino
Currently I'm running standard vanguard/SLAN. Should I raise Yuki to 125 and use her instead?
the addiction of pvp... unextinguishable.... 
Just like Lion's burn
The lion doesn't concern with addiction
of being a heroine
I just beat falulu 
Falulu is an piece of shit :v
Nanoda stonk
Guys.. Ive updated my pvp fleet. Im sure there is space for improvement, but I always strive for the biggest hull shipus.
Taihou and Hakuhou is a straight up
YES
to me
Those are some huge somethings, that's for sure
Where's janus
Megalomaniac love bigger size, bigger is better for them lol
Bigger shipgirls = more quality
damn
pvp guide must be not updated or something because dayum, there's like always people who gives me a lot of problems
but they're literally running the same fleet
so I'm warranting a guess that the PvP Excel file hasn't been updated
because there's no way in the past that you have a mirror fleet with same gear same +13 and lose more than a 50% time
if so, can I ask for an update to the gear listing for the main/ vanguard fleet, because it's really obvious that some players are using a far superior gear or something
Can the real falulu stand up and disarm their fleet please
pvp is dead and manjuu has killed it
yuki + laff2 + eldy is a cancer upon this earth
the only way to win is to just be luckier than your opponent
There’s something called attacker’s advantage, where the enemy deals 20% less damage. However recent ships have basically circumvented this
Through usage of special burns, special floods or simply just having high enough damage
So before, if both sides have a max out fleet, you would be facing someone who can only do 80-85% of the damage you can do
Now the enemy can deal up to 90-95% of the damage you can do
Which essentially means a fight is a coin toss of rng
man, that sucks
I don't wanna watch pvp 
I guess it is time to quit when I am ahead
Yeah, it’s simply what happens when you make a special burn that hit for nearly 2k per 3 sec and ignores attacker’s advantage, damage reduction or evasion
He will never do that, we can only hope he retire from the game like faceless lol
Are lyme a meta for pvp?
Kid named no
Maybe. Her survival skill is really good
Augment replaces this
i forgot she had one 
Tho overall, I still feel like Yukikaze have more value
yeah 8% backline DR + one time heal is no joke.

Shield don't do much in pvp when most damage are from burn not bullets
not a bullet shield like eugen, a max HP shield like raffaelo

give us a shield that is like 3000 base HP and we will finally see pvp change
Such shield doesn't exist

Unless you use illustrious or something
hello
Anchorage, Ikaruga, Guam, Mogami kai aug, Kansas, Tallinn, Z13, Chien Wu, Laffey 2, Lyme, Liverpool, Tamaki, Chi An, Neptune Aug, Albion (?), Jeanne d’Arc, Louisville, New Orleans, Raffaello, Regensburg, Marseillaise, Pittsburgh, Illustrious, Bartolomeo Colleoni, Fancy, Janus, Aquila fighter form, Nagato Meta, Colorado Kai, Sao Martinho, Sakawa, Wakatsuki, Prinz Adalbert, Emile Bertin Aug

Nah
Talking about augment, why the first and also pioniring of all Tempesta (Royal Fortune) still don't have augment

Wait what
Yuki as jn
Original yuki
Did yuki get an aug

Just read
Wow she is braindead
🐌
i thought id end this by last time
Every time i meet him his fleet name was "Wall" Now he add "tariff" Also forgot to change one ship name @odd berry @wet sundial @fluid orbit @dusk linden Dotard Trump lol
sounds like someone lost to the
fleet
Nah, im not said it "easy" But i still can beat most ppl that draw all they full might on the defender, like Falulu, Donald Trump, Sugurana and else, use your defender like that can make ppl that only farming merit will be hard to find their way to pass it, but also can make ppl copy paste the same compotition and figure it out they gears, and after that use it agains them who set those Meta defender fleet
:v what kind of question is that lol, if i meet him ofcourse i will beat him "if" He on the right most place (that give you the best point)
I more respecting ppl that set easy defender to me, it make easier just only to farming (like i do to let other ppl farming from me if they meet me) how harder your fleet, you still can be beaten by other
Sure, serenity
i agree
Serenity right not serenitatis
Is serenity is his same name on Avrora server?
I little bit forgot because i never meet him for past few month
thats because he has ascended to the realm of gods
Ahh i see, lol
Retire ppl
Rest in peace
Anyway what is ur name again, maybe i will meet you in there, or you also retire?
Duhh :v
If dev add cross battle server (like some other game "mostly RTS")
It will be fun, kinda bored meet same ppl for more then 7yrs
Add feature PVP cross server and add some delicious reward on it "maybe gems, or at less cube" that can attracted more ppl to play this game
top 100 should get cube and top 10 should get ring or gem
But dev never listen to my idea, much fun and interested, more ppl come, and more they will get money from player that boner to tentacle, big boobs monstrousity ship girl, and loli loli ship for Pedoshikikan


lmfao
ive saw him once
I surely forgot about him lol, sry
PvP only for farming, all for SR Bulin, my main goal is at less throwdown Sky Asunder from 2nd place of power, bacause Chairman Nao still active and maybe it will take another 2yrs to reach 43k
For me
so there is a chairman dominating pvp
He means he's doing pvp just for farming Merits, while he's more focused on Fleetpower competition where Asunder and Nao are the top 2 there (Avrora server)
ohh

Is fleet power considered pvp :ranchSexThink:
What's with everyone taking Yukikaze over Mintsuu?
yukikaze is a bit better for backline survival, but doesnt have as much torp nuke
How do you counter her?
what fleet are you fighting lol
but the answer is with either a mirror matchup or jintsuu
because the meta is so cooked the fight is on eld cope
I use Seydlitz, Nakhimov, and Lion.
I've been fighting mirrors, and the one with Glorious META replacing Nakhimov. Both fleets are using Yukikaze, and both are a pain in the ass to fight.
Takes about 5 restarts just to go even with a slim chance of winning.
and this, i prefer glorious
i mean wyv are usable
What should replace flapjack?
Aight.
plygun on first seyd slot?
for more +fp
by a bit, but stat increase is nice
I only have two Ply guns. 
Unless I switch Lion's/Mintsuu's.
alright then
it's better these days to drop JintM for Yukikaze (with augment)
since they can just outlast any other enemy vg
Kid named :mootsooki:
game broke
this is not a new intended feature? 
no, usually you only see AI(easy) if you logged in too early
the game can't find enough opponents to generate a list for you, so just shows the AI
this season it seems different though
the AI just appears regardless of who was there earlier, overwriting your previous list

baggers couldn't stop pvping so the devs had to help them out by removing all the movers from the game

Thought it was just me lol
I can't wait for AI(easy) to rank 1 eos this season
If you pvp you already lose
Hope i can enter rank 0
You can if you use the top fleet in the pvp spreadsheet
Hey, here's the team I'm currently rocking. It's great against all fleets not sporting Lion, but still feels iffy on those that do. Can I get recommended gearing for everyone?
you can first swap lion and nakh places
Also, can I get the website to get that gearing info? I try searching for it, but just end up with Github.
I wasn't sure about positions. My Lion is still at level 120, even though her affinity is already at 200. Other fleets I've seen with this same backline had them in all different positions like they were playing musical chairs.
125 matters a lot in pvp
laffey tank also means you will lost laffey v laffey fights, which happens a lot
Yes, and I'm working on it. I'm not expecting to rank high this season, not until my Lion hits 125.
nalkhimov bottom means you will get lion flame'd and lose the fight because enemy cv is still alive and concealed
well it matters but isnt needed to win
u can send the gears you are using
If you have Fairy Magic Poster, use that an Nakhimov
I'm sure I do. I have just about every worthwhile gear. Do you know the real name?
That's literally what it's called
Your gear is actually pretty good and you should do fine but if you want to fine tune for the current meta:
- work on "Rat Gun" for all ships (Twin 76mm R%F Mk 37)
- switch to 550 Quad french torps, it's more important to get the vanguard down quickly than backline these days
- Put Beaver Badge to Lion/Seydlitz
- Aviation Fuel as 2nd aux on Nakhimov
- Put 2nd DD gun instead of AA gun on Seydlitz
Oh. Looked for it and must have just skipped right past it. I had it on Soyuz when I was running her in exercises.
I'd also put Pearl on Eldy instead of towel, she tends to sink first in most battles
do you see what planes nakh are using
Yeah you should switch those out too. I got tunnel vision on the accessories 
lol
What's wrong with Nakhimov's planes? I'm completely clueless about what gears are good for pvp. And is this the new meta for pvp torps?
read the google sheet for gear reccs for planes
but its prob just
hvar hellcat+ 2 searfish
seahornet + 2 wyverm
i dont like them
I know people swear by hvars but I still prefer VF-17 for figthers
Half the time they just shoot at Laffey's bunbun strikers
What Google sheets? Whenever I try to look up meta gearing for PVP, I get github with an insanely outdated pvp section.
The one pinned in this channel

thats normalish
vf17 slow af
also glorious meta is lowkey better than nakh when i tested them
Ugh, I'm so stupid when it comes to finding stuff in Discord. Everything feels so hidden and unintuitive to me. I really feel my age when on here.
I just now figured out how to look up pins for specific channels.
there's a number of pvpers who are in their 40s and 50s here
and none of them can read
pvp is for old folks who have money and can wake up at 3 am
I'm 48. I'm usually very good with tech, but Discord just feels weird to me.
Sigh, the doc is a protected file and I'm not able to view it. Do I need permissions to see it?
Nope
I saw a very select few using Glorious Meta, but not enough for me to gauge who performs better.
indoctrinated by spreadsheet
Before we put it on the sheet, nakh had more consistent wins
Okay, I can't see the Google doc. It keeps saying that I don't have access.
why lol are u using a vpn or something
I'm currently on my cellphone because I'm supposed to be "working ".
ill just tell you what to fix
I can access this fine on my phone and on an alt account that never access this sheet before
Then why? I don't have a VPN, but still can't open it. I no unda-stan!
Just checking, this is what you were trying to access, right?
https://cutt.ly/azur-lane-pvp-guide
Looks like it.
as mentioned by shal, 76aa guns on everyone other than seyd
Nakhimov: hvar hellcat, spearfish,spearfish, 100/150 aviation fuel, fairy magic poster
Lion: 457, UR quad 152, 76aa, beaver, fire control table (UR/SR)
seyd: mk2 ur bb gun, plymouth gun, twin 137, rudder, , fire control radar
laffey: change rudder to a speed aux such as purple boiler
i like to use pearl on eld instead of towel
this should get you big wins
So did you open the link I gave you?
I opened up your link just fine.
Not getting locked out?
Yep! It opened up just fine, like it was no big deal!
Thanks! This will help my cluelessness tremendously!
weird
i dont have lion am i bricked
Yes
The real pvp is the amount of times you bricked along the way
amount of times you tryharded the contents in-game
What you mean bricked?
HE or AP better for pvp in the current meta?
it depends on the ship you are using, check the pinned doc for recommended gears
I just returned so ye no lion for me
I see, Musashi is still usable but will melt against Lion fleets
Mikasa gun BIS for her on PvP, her DPS is her lightning barrage.
no other better but alternative is the next IJN blue gun Twin 356 kai, slightly slower and HE ammo, for extra burn.
it jams with MK4 so not recommended if you have other UR BBs using MK4
What about shinano? Also dropped from meta?
yeah, other CVs dropped significantly, there are still competition but very few
you can see comp on the Main Fleet tab on the sheet
Ye i saw it and ye i only see bbs lol
T0 had two 1CV setup, and one 2CV with Hiryuu 
3BB is your way to go for a non-Lion fleet
Rn im using nj, Warspite retro and enterprise
Barely hanging on top 300
Planning to make sakura fleet
Since i heard that unzen soon
Unzen rerun
But now im questioning if i should even bother getting her
Along with Musashi
Since i alrd got shinano for free
Shimakaze too
Yukikaze with augment is very good now for vanguard ship in pvp
Unzen is pretty bad in pvp coz she's slow, Ibuki might be better than her. if it doesn't hurt for the Sakura setup try Eldridge Retrofit if you have her.
The Eldridge that u can get from shop?
yeah, plus her retrofit item if you got it from a recent event.
How recent...? I got back a month ago
en anni a while back lol
During fools something event
ohh it was last September rip
Oh
@spice wigeon Armpit lovers :v 
One must spread the teaching he believes in 
Aye!
nice sequence
Javelin is very lickable
Which skin should I buy for pvp on this black Friday?
yes
How about buy ring insteed, then max her affection to +200 for 12% buff 
Technically 6% buff. Or maybe I'm wrong
12% if the affinity maxed to 200
Love 6% without ring and 100 aff. Ring 3%. From love to oath +100 aff which +3%. So total difference oath 12 and love 6% = 6% increase. But maybe you right
smh p2w gamemode
Can we delete pvp from the game
But that’s means you’ll also be deleted
I prefer to an option to erase winrate from PvP and PvE, somegame have "payment PvE&PvP erased" So we can get 100% of win rate again
If simply "delete PvP" You need to delete your entire game data lol 
no way it worked 
Oppai cooks
<@&472236072743600148> is this possible or this person kinda making scam?
That joke may make "some ppl" Belive and do the same
Sorry for disturbing ur precious time
its pvp channel lol
also people can use their heads and think that maybe deleting account will make things go away and not better
I wouldn't joke about serious topic
Pvp is serious gamemode
Shame on you for making jokes about it
average day in pvp chat
Agains savia :v
how the heck
Raffaelo new meta :ranchSexThink:
It maybe just me, or few ppl who use it, also i never show my atacker force on defender side, so other can't copy it (except i send vidio like this) and i always make a joke fleet or easy fleet for defender side, so other ppl can farming merits easily when they meet me
:albaWave:
Raffaelo was already tested back in March
Raffaelo and Andrea Doria Meta have both been on the radar for quite a while now, just didn’t see popular usage
And recently Lyme as well
Back then there’s no Lion yet (Lion came in May)
So the Raffaelo comp was developed but no one followed up on it after the Lion hype
Raffaelo’s skills work very well with Laffey and made the frontline overall more tanky
I do have a few comps like this but no one ever bothered copying them

Hmm, the Mecklenburg comp may need some revisiting
It seems a large majority have her at dev 30 at this point
Ooh, thanks. I always felt she had potential, and now I have something to try.
Maybe she don't like eldy?
It is a comp made before Lion was released so things are different now
Back then there’s no Lion so frontline pressure was borderline nonexistent. Raffaelo made Laffey tanky enough that you don’t even need Eldy

Mafia meta was good, I can run pvp in 1m then go do other things
Mafia was cancer
We live in post cancer era
You don't want to spread cancer nowadays do you?
🥉
unusually large difference between positions
minor inconvenience
any prediction which of the new date a live skin is best for pvp?
This is probably one of the worst idea I ever had
This fleet feels so paper
Works entirely off of RNG
I saw that Amagi’s Skill requires either Akagi or Kaga
However Amagi Akagi or Amagi Kaga simply doesn’t work. The skills of Akagi and Kaga only works when they are with each other, not Amagi
In that case, I went with Akagi Muse instead
The team’s purpose is just to win the frontline fight, that’s it
If you don’t win the frontline fight, you’ll lose
If you do win the frontline fight, well I haven’t thought of it that far yet

And yes, rockets and french torps
Give up, I tried it long ago and nothing good came out of Akagi+Amagi
I tried it too, 60% of the time it worked every time
Maybe
literal paper comp xdd
yuki fills akagi-chan's 3 IJN req 
This is not guild corner
:ranchSexDoorPeek:
waiting for someone to use them in pvp
Watch the skills be bugged
I can already see some stuff like
Kotori’s special burn is tied to a targeting slash attack
Therefore she can’t target burn concealed CVs, unlike Lion
Or how the mechanics of Kurumi’s clones somehow is wonky and the clones runs into the enemy’s backline or just transfer burn to your top position

Or even worse, Kotori can only burn 1 target at a time
kurumi is just sidedish. real waifu is origami
kurumi is hotter

who?
Kurumi new pvp meta?
Meta is still Kashino
kurumi freezing enemy vanguard might just make it more likely for enemy jintsuu meta to torp nuke ur vanguard
idk that's what i heard
If she even Stacks that fast in the first place to proc it imo 
the freeze (or root, more accurately) itself seems to just proc frequently and with a low enough cooldown that they'll get trapped in it more often than not
There’s quite a lot of interesting things with Kurumi
After the early CN testings, it is a bit wonky
- The clones do inherit certain items’ effects such as Prowler’s invul or Rudder’s invul, which does help survivability
- However, they do not get the effect of Eldridge’s Rainbow Invul, which means all of them are likely to die to Lion’s burn and Seydlitz’s preload. If they aren’t then a CV strike from Nakhimov or Glorious Meta will kill all of them at once
- Kurumi herself is also fairly paper as she doesn’t have any other survivability boosting skills outside of her clones
- There’s a bug with the freeze in pvp that apparently the first one just doesn’t trigger for some reason. This also harms Kurumi’s stack proc which means she requires 2 freeze to get another clone up, which she might have already died by then

Kotori also has some issues. Her burn damage is great but only proc on targets that are hit with her slash attack
This means unlike Lion, she can’t hit concealed CVs
Tho Kotori still serves as a fairly decent Seydlitz alternative it seems
well, there's that
does lion burn jump between the clones lol
if so she's a 100% chance to burn yourself to death after 1st rota
it'll be the funniest shit ever seen
I think I had a scenario where Lion burn jumped from a dead Kurumi clone to GlorM early into the fight.
Kurumi turns out way worse than initially expected
You know how her clones have 1.5 sec invul after getting hit
Yeah, the 1.5 sec only counts AFTER you get hit
However, it only works on shelling and ramming, so stuff like Lion’s burn can ignore it entirely. Furthermore, Burst damage from torps is still an issue. Even a burst from Seydlitz’s preload could be an issue if she dies on the spot from the first hit
The main concern is still the fact that summons can’t be protected by Eldridge
We should have seen this coming since Laffey’s summons don’t work either
In which case, a clone-less Kurumi is borderline useless

Kotori isn’t much better but at least her kit is functionable
Kurumi’s freeze skill is bugged and the first freeze doesn’t work and doesn’t count stacks
Kurumi’s clone skill is scuffed and she spends basically the entire fight without clones
All you are left with is a paper CL, barely any damage or survivability
That could also potentially spread burns and scuff your CVs as well

Would a bug fix make Kurumi good
This honestly doesn't make sense, the way the invulnerability is copied to clones is by it being a stat, it's virtually impossible for it to work on rudder, but not on Eldridge
Unless you mean that Eldridge proccing doesn't protect already summoned clones, then yeah that is expected as they aren't part of the vanguard
The reason Prowler and Rudder is copied is because they are items on Kurumi herself, it also transfers to her clone. Since the clone counts as copy of Kurumi but with their own stats
No
However they are still categorized as summons, like Laffey’s Summon, so it doesn’t get protected
I ran a few Kurumi runs and all of the clones died within the first 10 seconds of the round

If Kurumi has invincibility on her while she summons a clone that clone should inherit the invincibility no matter the source of the invincibility
Very interesting, is that how it worked in PVE?
Yes
This scenario can’t be replicated in PVP it seems
Or the fact that it is bugged
The first Freeze didn’t give Kurumi stacks
It didn’t freeze enemies either
The second one does but not the first
Though the invincibility's duration is infinite
The same is true for other buffs like increasing dmg dealt, FP or whatever, they are copied to clones but with infinite duration
While buffs that are cast on Kurumi after the summon have no effect on the clones
Hmm that’s probably why it wasn’t protected by Eldridge then, Eldridge’s always proc after
Yeah that's also really weird, but start of combat is rather scuffed so I can see it happening
Very interesting but also wonk
But yeah even invincible clones ofc still get destroyed if og Kurumi dies and unsummons them
Not really
Then the second option is to keep her alive until second Eldridge proc
Currently impossible since her first wave of clones got cooked
Then the best case is prowler?
Yeah that entire clock zone skill is a bit odd, but can't say I didn't expect this outcome with how relatively long her clones take to build up
Kurumi procs Prowler right at the beginning for 1.5 sec invul
If she spawns the clones then they also get invul no duration right?
Hmm, but to get prowler to proc that early relies too heavily on torp rng
If she summons during her own invulnerability, ye
It seems Lion is the issue then
I’m not even sure Kotori’s burn reduction even work on Lion
Ever since Lion came out, pvp have been cooked
it doesnt bc its not a burn
also just to be clear the first clock zone kurmi spawns on battle start will never freeze
because stacks affect the next zone
@shell raft consider disarming

Taste spicy but still easy :v
it looks under invested
Nah, i don't realy trusted "common formation" I prefer use my own formation even had some same ship on it, but still have different
no, the guy you fought isn't using her lol
I wouldn't change my team either if no one can wall me
too bored to do so
laffey, jinta and eld still works

Ahh i see 😂
why is enemy seyd using meck gun
Don't know, ask himself :v recently i just use easy defender formation to let ppl farming from me :v

Yeah,yeah. Laffy2 pickers... who u ar without them?

Syanda cooks

I’m kinda scared to fight this person
Actually do you think I’d lose with this?
Welp. At least I was right
Dev tho overstrenght US ship, unlike other like Kancole, this game always make allied side better then axis side, and also the chinese ship was overkill (in tech development) they add Missil on it, even the chinese ships was useless (in my own account game) it still missil launcher is too overkill, i hope they add V1 and V2 rocket, alongside with Fritz X and ME 262
always?
I don't know from your prespective, but in mine, i feel so
let me tell you, we have a tremendous mind here, maybe the best mind, the smartest person. Nobody knows more about this topic—nobody! I mean, I've seen a lot of smart people, truly smart, believe me, but this individual, @whole salmon, they have the best brain for the History of Azur Lane PvP. It’s a brain like you wouldn't believe.
Yeah, every person have their own thinking about this game, especialy on PvP topic, nothing wrong about that, every single person was right with their own prespective on the game.
You've missed the point
Completely
There are ships that are meta, there are ships that were meta, and ships that are bad.
This is quantitative, not qualitative (i.e. perspective)
Thats right
But i will keep on my own doctrine, that doctrine keep me playing this game since 2018.09.02
Okay
So you have been through WASDE, right?
That is, Washington, South Dakota and Enterprise
From the Lucky E+S Dahkota, Nagato combo, then Juneau nightmare
I never forgot Hiryu
But now, mostly allied, with that gear that keep you alive for a few sec, and sydich, then Glorious Meta :v

Mutsuki for ur breeding ship :v
you can use this
That cool gear you have there
So not really axis...
See, if you said this, I would be more inclined to agree
I not ask your agreement, i just telling you about my experience dealing with this game 
I am saying there's a big difference saying "always" and "mostly". Saying the wrong thing leads to misinformation
Ahh now i see, sorry for that, i didn't mean to
Ever since late 2017 with Akagi Kaga Hiryuu comps along with Jintsuu Ayanami
All the way up to Nagato being released in 2018
Then Amagi
Then Yukikaze
Then Azuma and FDG
And eventually Shinano comps
To Musashi comps
It has been Axis dominated all the way until 2023
Does Mafia count as Axis? Yeah they do
Only a few allied ships like Anchorage, Juneau, Warspite and NJ later on are meta
There are periods of Monarch or Belfast during the 6 HMS comp days but both died really quickly
Vanguard was also viable for a time but it too was short lived
I dunno if this is sarcastic or genuine anymore 
Meet Savia agains lol
why is the background audio bass boosted
Dunno, default from the phone
Jokes aside, you like talking in length about pvp history, so why wouldn't I ask you to do it
