i thought stall was dead

#

ig against lionless

#

Yukikaze is more stable than Jintsuu M

blazing orbit
#

interesting

whole salmon
#

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

#

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

gloomy sand
#

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

Kid named what

whole salmon
#

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

vale minnow
whole salmon
#

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

steel coral
#

"Reduce your vanguard's speed so my Seyd and Lion have an easier time hitting them"

knotty hazel
whole salmon
whole salmon
#

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

whole salmon
#

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

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.

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

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

whole salmon
#

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

If you have Fairy Magic Poster, use that an Nakhimov

finite yoke
#

I'm sure I do. I have just about every worthwhile gear. Do you know the real name?

foggy whale
#

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

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

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.

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

whole salmon
#

Hmm, the Mecklenburg comp may need some revisiting

It seems a large majority have her at dev 30 at this point

This is probably one of the worst idea I ever had

#

This fleet feels so paper

Works entirely off of RNG

whole salmon
#

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

waiting for someone to use them in pvp

trail temple

Watch the skills be bugged

whole salmon
#

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

halcyon apex

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

unkempt vortex
halcyon apex
whole salmon
#

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

halcyon apex
#

well, there's that

stable dawn
#

does lion burn jump between the clones lol

#

if so she's a 100% chance to burn yourself to death after 1st rota

gloomy sand
#

it'll be the funniest shit ever seen

stable dawn
#

burn loop

hybrid agate
whole salmon
#

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

knotty hazel
whole salmon
#

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

worldly ore
#

Would a bug fix make Kurumi good

sullen iris
whole salmon
sullen iris
#

No

whole salmon
#

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

sullen iris
#

If Kurumi has invincibility on her while she summons a clone that clone should inherit the invincibility no matter the source of the invincibility

whole salmon
sullen iris
#

Yes

whole salmon
#

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

sullen iris
#

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

whole salmon
#

Hmm that’s probably why it wasn’t protected by Eldridge then, Eldridge’s always proc after

sullen iris
whole salmon
#

Very interesting but also wonk

sullen iris
#

But yeah even invincible clones ofc still get destroyed if og Kurumi dies and unsummons them

whole salmon
#

Is there a way to delay Kurumi’s clones from spawning

#

Guess not

sullen iris
#

Not really

whole salmon
#

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?

sullen iris
#

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

whole salmon
#

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

sullen iris
#

If she summons during her own invulnerability, ye

whole salmon
#

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

gilded narwhal
#

it doesnt bc its not a burn

whole salmon
#

What if Lion are the friends we made along the way

gilded narwhal
#

also just to be clear the first clock zone kurmi spawns on battle start will never freeze

#

because stacks affect the next zone

whole salmon
#

Now that’s just sad
