shell heron

Well i can make up for today with tomorrow's gensui rush

#

Sandbag all the rushers SandyMeme

empty grove
#

Welp. I lost track of time & missed one.

If anyone wants a +1 just @ me

hot creek
#

what server you on?

empty grove
vague token
#

how the mighty have fallen

hot creek
odd schooner
#

Famine is losing his edge

empty grove
#

The event is all consuming

odd schooner
#

What season are we now

#

24?

empty grove
#

I need my guns

vague token
#

that's fair

#

xD

ionic magnet
#

i was waiting for you to move fam

empty grove
#

Sleep & events are my weakness

vague token
#

sleep is good

empty grove
#

I ran out of refreshes on a maxed namaryuu with 1:10 left, so took the furthest right & finished 10 seconds over reset

#

Missed all procs too

vague token
#

xD

#

that's a big oof

#

next season you can do it!

waxen dawn
vague token
#

ooooof

coral wren
#

That's one weird team comp

vague token
#

shot a lot of planes probably

waxen dawn
#

I just put all my favorite ships

vague token
#

ah, the noble soul

waxen dawn
#

And when neither Hood nor Lucky E never procced

vague token
waxen dawn
#

And I hate IJN btw

vague token
#

all shipfus are good, do not hate

stark raft
#

People have unlucky Hoods it seems BuckySmug

waxen dawn
#

My hood is getting old

vague token
#

no that's just hood having low base luck ;)

#

and low base hit

#

xD

#

sad that biscuit doesnt have like 80-90 base hit =/

#

what is with nevada having so much hit lol, one of her retro tiles adds some

waxen dawn
#

She's almost literally McCree

vague token
#

except mcree can stun people into headshot

#

nevada uh

#

she can sometimes halve damage

#

xD

waxen dawn
#

S H O U N E N doesn't need stuns.

vague token
#

you know we dont have a ship that can pause enemy reload

#

that'd be fun

shy hazel
#

fam this is your second consecutive fail

stark raft
#

aurora sandbaggers rise up

empty grove
#

I'll probs make it 3

#

This game is burning me out

#

Atleast i'm almost 100k on the event

vague token
#

whoa

ionic magnet
#

100k

#

fam going for the superior ladder

shy hazel
#

fam was alrdy 120k last event

#

why go for one ladder when u can do both

odd schooner
#

I'm out of mail oil

#

Maybe this is it for me

shy hazel
#

you are finished

hot creek
#

5 days worth of nat regen still left tho

#

and quests and comms

odd schooner
#

Ye should be around 20k more

steep fog
#

just got 2nd nepgun

#

pvp powerup time

shell heron
#

Even gods can bleed SandyMeme

#

Maybe I can get r1 this season

#

Who am I kidding, not happening BuckySmug

finite valve
shy hazel
grim ember
shell heron
#

That's an interesting fleet comp

#

pairing up each faction I see

finite valve
#

another sub in build

#

lel

#

glad i did not touch special SpeeWhat

modern tree
#

I like that both ships that need flagship are on flanks

#

Good picture

elder crane
#

Well for Bis it's less of an effect than Nagato

real notch
#

Ok time to revisit this... Nepgun or belgun on backline BBs?

#

Also 818 or cudas?

vague token
#

is nepgun better than twin 127?

#

in overall trade of damage vs aa durability?

#

id need 2 more nepguns anyways

#

my 1 nepgun is on phoenix

shell heron
#

I find it more fun to have both amagi and nagato to pelt the VG

vague token
modern tree
#

Nepgun is easily better than 127 because added durability means fuckall if your BBs are killing the VG that is drawing away their shots

vague token
#

i mean, nagato doesnt exactly have a huge problem blowing up VG

#

cause lol big seven

shell heron
#

that all your oil? mail, shop, and exam rewards?

#

but if I can clear the VG sooner because my nagato doesn't like to big 7

#

the better

real notch
#

A couple other things...

#

Anyone have a 120 kawakaze to show off?

vague token
#

i dont think anyone has that to flex

#

not like torp squad really needs her

real notch
#

Xd I'm surprised nobody invested in her

#

She's basically better ayanami

vague token
#

jintsuu/aya already does fine

#

why spend more on kawa

#

xD

modern tree
#

you run torp squad without Kawa or Ayaya

#

Just do Jintsuu Sendai Aurora

vague token
#

havent seen many sendais still

#

mostly jintsuu/aurora/ykk

#

not sara friendly

#

=/

#

i think there was 1 sendai with an 818 hiryuu but the levels werent there

#

12 more bps and dev 30 =D

#

i havent bought all the shop bps yet

#

so i might just not use them

#

xD

#

i think there's 9 left or so

#

=(

coral wren
#

i need 38 more bps for maxed monarch

#

well, we got no bps on nagato event unfortunately

shell heron
#

I used all my event bps and only got dev25 sanrui.

#

only seen the 0.5hr cube bp project once. and that's when I was about to sleep

coral wren
#

the best one you mean?

shell heron
#

would love to spam that because I got 1000+ cubes and doing nothing

coral wren
#

iirc there are three of them, and the one that costs 8k gold and 3 cubes is the most profitable

shell heron
#

the ship specific 8k 3 cube one

coral wren
#

Yeah, it's insanely good. Got it 2 times

#

stop playing azure lane 24/7 EmileSip

real notch
#

Loll

#

120s not that bad

#

Just spend 1 event playing them and they're 120

odd schooner
#

8 days had past my nep still 115..

#

Started @ 100 from dorming

real notch
#

Auroras not that good for torp squad

#

More specifically shes good for foxes

#

I 110 200 affed my sendai 10 days after she was released

#

Turns out shes not even meta

coral wren
#

Also, ws is outdamaging non maxed monarch constantly

vague token
#

ws does have the highest unboosted fp in the game lol

coral wren
#

I think her accuracy is the key

#

Not the fp

#

and ofc luck

#

ye

vague token
#

non retro ws isnt anymore accurate than most lo

#

she and nevada have +hit in their retro stats

#

oh and apparently hyuuga/ise have +hit in theirs too

#

why do the monitors have such high base hit

#

xD

#

83 on abercrombie, 81 on terror and erebus xD

#

all of that shelling stationary land targets really helps your aim i guess

#

_>

real notch
#

818s have overall worse stats around but the slow is 8s long

#

Thats pretty long slow

#

Makes vg shelling a bit more relevant

#

Also ill have to look at the timings since i forgot but the slow should line up with amagi 2nd shelling

vague token
#

it does

#

i got hit by it a few times

real notch
#

And maybe nagato barrage

#

Prolly not

vague token
#

that one isnt as important since you're either centered or on side

#

xD

real notch
#

The stats lost isnt that significant

vague token
#

well, since i dont use hiryuu it is because then i lose my vg xD

real notch
#

Oh, compared to the ryuusei its better stats

#

And i think cuda anyways is better than ryuusei on namaryuu

#

I did 2 week testing of ryuusei and 2 weeks of cuda

vague token
#

i mean that'll change when hiryuu kai shows up

#

cause then she gets her aoe damage fix

#

and bigger stats for ryuusei to use

coral wren
#

hm, if you can sync centaur 818 with kgv, along with aur it should be a solid hms setup

real notch
#

just based on my own testings but

#

i feel with ryuusei, it's difficult to get a good targeted hit because of how resilient 120 YKKZ is

vague token
#

i mean, that's what nagato barrage is for ;)

#

just need 1 hit for fireeeee

real notch
#

and even more when you're on defense

#

and idk how accurate ryuusei torps get when an enemy YKKZ is hugging your backline

#

i feel like it aims at enemy backline more but

#

idk

vague token
#

i havent had a torp bomber in my comp for a while now so xD

real notch
#

sasuga saratoga king

vague token
#

k

#

im only using 1 comet atm

#

without a heavy duty bomber she doesnt get clean kills on backline sometimes

#

also, bigger bombs have more base hit

#

to hit vanguard

#

xD

#

1 btd, 1 comet

#

vf pirate of course, free durability is free

#

RWG and Tank

#

xD

#

oh i dont have emu on my toaster laptop

real notch
#

wait a minute

#

kiroshima

vague token
#

guess i should fix that

real notch
#

saratoga does have torp bomber

vague token
#

lol no

#

her skill is aim torps

#

but she is fighter/dive/dive

#

2/3/3

#

like graf

#

xD

real notch
#

yea

#

aimed torp bombers yo

vague token
#

i mean, skill aim torps are whack

#

just like her gun aim

#

;)

#

the reason she is viable is because she has 2k hp over hiryuu

#

and a lot more dps

#

when she feels like aiming

#

the longer the fight the better her damage

#

cause those ticks add up

#

a lot

#

everyone has a lot of plane plates

#

xD

real notch
#

same

vague token
#

but yeah, RWG to ensure max odds of hitting pesky vanguard with the burning/flood

#

xD

#

and a bit of evade to help her huge hp

#

she's only 300 hp under graf zepp

#

she may be smol

#

but she thicc

#

7.1k ;)

real notch
#

do you ever mute saratoga's battlecries

#

i would

vague token
#

i mean i usually play sound off

#

so when it's on it's fine

#

no big deal

real notch
finite valve
#

all of my DD bp

#

gone in a span of like 2 weeks?

#

lel

vague token
#

i havent moved out of 8-1 hard mode lol

#

/also because it's on clearing mode and im lazy

finite valve
#

i already clear mode all w8

#

so can do whatever

vague token
#

i didnt have enough time before event LaffeyDrink

finite valve
#

but all these DD kai is making a dense in my DD bp lel

vague token
#

o.O

finite valve
#

i have 1 t1 and 0 t2

#

t3 i got like 40+ lel

#

was just doing CL bp since before w8

#

so been lacking

vague token
#

oh that makes sense

#

at least there isnt a sub retro yet

#

to burn dd prints

#

;)

finite valve
#

you know what's funny?

#

DR sub

#

yes DR not even PR

#

or was it DC?

#

dk the name lel

vague token
finite valve
#

azuma rarity name

#

decisive R or C

#

dk which

vague token
#

oh ok

#

isnt fdg also decisive rarity?

#

xD

#

they cost more xp/bps =(

sharp wing
#

lol, finally we get kagerou retro, after her skill been leaked since like autumn

vague token
#

it's just disturbance shooting

#

the skill with unknown effectiveness

#

due to the terrible activation rate

#

and it doesnt say how big the debuff is

#

lol

#

and it targets randomly

#

X_x

finite valve
#

not that you use her for the debuff anyway

sharp wing
#

skill is of 0 importance

vague token
#

look a lot of ships have disturbance shooting

#

like bailey

#

xD

sharp wing
#

552 torp + chain torps + vg torp command

finite valve
#

pretty sure if we can datamine that shit we would have it by now

sharp wing
#

she just got 4th useless skill

vague token
#

i bet it's probably trash like 5% reload/damage debuff

#

lol

sharp wing
#

lol, her retro buffs asw

vague token
#

that's pretty bad for 25% rate lol

sharp wing
#

no1 really cares about those skills tbh

vague token
#

i mean, im sure someone did but they never bothered to update it cause the skill is trash

#

like if it was -100% reload

#

that'd be interesting

#

25% to freeze someone for 10 seconds

real notch
#

they should come out with some more debuff skill ships

vague token
#

wait what happens when you have -100% reload

sharp wing
#

gun low reload

#

like torps on subs

vague token
#

oh it's 200 / 100

sharp wing
#

base realod increases lol

vague token
#

oh that's just 40% gun time

#

that's actually kinda sad

#

i guess with the damage debuff it would be ok

#

but 25% chance is still >_>

modern tree
#

Have you considered using Firefly on Sara instead of Comet.

vague token
#

yeah it only gains duration

sharp wing
#

it reads in description

vague token
#

if i had double firefly

#

id do that

#

but i think 1 btd 1 comet is better

#

hmm i guess btd/firefly is only .5 seconds slower

#

double firefly would be nice though

#

which event was firefly again

#

xD

#

rip, it'll be a while for that to rerun

modern tree
#

Firefly is +1 1k bombo over garbage bombs

#

with same avi bonus

#

Comet is probably not wrth over it if you run it mainly for gold stats

vague token
#

it's mostly just for speed since btd is slow xD

#

i could try like Me/btd/firefly

#

or me/btd/btd

elder crane
#

yep all reload is now base equip times sqrt 2

#

too bad slow skills only stack multiplicatively

#

otherwise you'd actually be able to freeze ships

vague token
#

xD

empty grove
#

I wonder if I could salvage 1 loss

shell heron
#

seeing as you're only 5 points below me now. It's possible

#

oh time to check if anyone rushed on my list SandyMeme

safe meteor
#

everyone farming D2 here?

#

how many extra 138.6 so far?

real notch
#

oh ya

shell heron
#

2 working on a 3rd

real notch
#

i should go to d2

#

why am i in d3

#

is this mindless farming

stoic skiff
#

How much do you guys play MutsukiStare

safe meteor
#

the drops are awful for me

#

working on 3rd as well

#

do any BB or BC use this good too?

stoic skiff
#

I just have 5 prints and it is the first one...

#

For pvp?

real notch
#

it's a decent one for backlines that can't equip CL guns

#

i would still go for 127s tho i think

safe meteor
#

alright

stoic skiff
#

Ok

safe meteor
#

so then just around 3-4 is enough?

#

or do Submarine want this 138.6 as well?

real notch
#

submarines deal map-based sub dmg based on fleet power

#

so whatever gives more fleet power

#

AKA gold/rainbow equips

safe meteor
#

how many 138.6 everyone intend to farm?

#

oh right

#

so which pvp ships want the 138.6 ?

real notch
#

like

#

hood

#

orr

safe meteor
#

nice

real notch
#

USS BBs

safe meteor
#

weird, im lvling for Ibuki as well

#

since i got other 4 PR ships done

finite valve
#

tacao choukai maya atago

safe meteor
#

will there be a lvl 130 cap somewhere?

real notch
#

not anytime soon

#

lol

finite valve
#

ofc there will be

safe meteor
#

lvl mogami and Jintsuu some more?

finite valve
#

unless you like fighting w14 with 120 boat

safe meteor
#

o rly

#

you got that many ships ?

sharp wing
#

He got no life

finite valve
#

more like got that many SR ship

real notch
#

lol dude

sharp wing
real notch
#

i havel ike

#

150k chips

safe meteor
#

lemme check

#

11879 here

finite valve
#

130k

safe meteor
#

do you run out of gold though?

elder crane
#

I had 21 yesterday LeanderXD

#

21 chips

real notch
#

where do u guys spend ur chips

elder crane
#

Broke wayy too many SRs

real notch
#

wtf

elder crane
#

I've 11 lv120s

real notch
#

i have .... 7 i think

elder crane
#

also I have like ~10 more 115+

safe meteor
#

still none here

elder crane
#

oh right it's 12 now

safe meteor
#

highest for me is 117

real notch
#

but i always keep my ships capped unless i need them to be 120

elder crane
#

nah it's only 11 lv120s

#

I included the one I just finished

real notch
#

wtf

elder crane
real notch
#

400 dock space

#

u gotta chill

stoic skiff
elder crane
#

and 4 more ships above lv 100

#

Tip: use secretary selection

#

allows for better sorting

real notch
#

mines pretty shit lo

#

i've recently started leveling sandy and ws

#

in prep for retro

#

that's a good idea

#

i might not even oath ws

#

probably oath sandytho

elder crane
#

Ehh I just got mine done for Monarch

real notch
#

i spent like

#

$50 on AL and i feel like a whale already

#

the next purchase i make is like the 2x gems at $49.00

#

which is gonna jump my expenditures to 100

elder crane
#

all the 2X packs, the monthly daily res, and half the event packs for me

#

I still feel like a dolphin

#

can't afford to spam skins like some people I know

#

maaaybe a Killer Whale WarShrug

finite valve
#

just get a better paying job

elder crane
#

well I don't want to spend more money actually

#

I could, but I've spent enough

real notch
#

how do i sort by secretary

#

ohhh

#

yea i got it lo

elder crane
#

Much better way to view ship list

real notch
#

nvm i'm more noob than i thought

#

only 6 120s

#

pure PVP efficiency baby

finite valve
#

off meta ships at 110

#

oh boi

elder crane
#

For me it's PvP and some grinds

real notch
#

i'll probably only 120 future PVP ships

elder crane
#

Monarch grind gave me 120 Dork and WS and Hood

real notch
#

like sandy and ws

#

but otherwise the PVE maps don't really require 120 ships yet

elder crane
#

And Wash is from ch11 grinding

#

since she's my next best ship for that after I finished Amagi

#

Also Aurora as flex Namayu-stall spot is surprisingly nice
Got wrecked once though by Jun and Aurora both instadying to torps

#

(and ofc also not-great barrage RNG afterwards)

real notch
#

biggest oath ragret is still sendai

elder crane
#

it barely holds on though, I feel, on offense

real notch
#

i used her for a grand total of 1 week

#

until i realized she sucks

#

at least at 110 stage

elder crane
#

110 vs 120s or 110 vs 110s, and in which team?

finite valve
#

oathing pvp only ship

#

serve you right

elder crane
#

I oathed her cause AkagiFluff too

#

so no regrets

real notch
#

110s vs 110s

finite valve
real notch
#

and whenever sendai came out

finite valve
#

even in 120 she is still whatever

real notch
#

so amakaga meta

finite valve
#

i still got shit ton of boat to oath

elder crane
#

Ehh, I found sendai was good then

#

since everyone and their mother ran/runs bel

finite valve
#

taihou all of essex class u 47 i 13

elder crane
#

I used her in Hamayuu though

vague token
#

pfft

real notch
#

i was expecting groundbreaking

vague token
#

scrubs and their bel

real notch
#

because of the 25% eva stacking on aurora EVA

vague token
#

when sheffield was the true queen

real notch
#

but even that combo didn't reliably wipe VGs

elder crane
#

well idk it felt fine to me

real notch
#

and then juneau was still a better option

finite valve
#

it works for JP tho

real notch
#

defensive VGs felt stronger than suicide squad

#

it worked for JP yea

#

that's why i was so sold on it lo

elder crane
#

I ran Sendai/Jun/Ykkz for Hiryuu/Amagi/Hood for a while

real notch
#

YKKZ came out a bit later but yea

elder crane
#

well that's cause Nakaga was uncontested in JP for a good while

real notch
#

she basically was the end of sendai lo

vague token
#

nakaga was probably sleeping on hiryuu

#

back then

elder crane
#

Nah, no amagi, no WaSD

#

nothing for Hiryuu to slot into

finite valve
#

might have to do with amagi arrives early in EN?

real notch
#

one unlucky proc and u still do 1 dmg

finite valve
#

since at that time JP was using nagato

vague token
#

i mean nagato hiryuu with X should be ok

#

against foxes

#

not godtier

#

just ok

elder crane
#

Amagi is what made that team

real notch
#

it's because sendai didn't work very well with amagi

#

amagi fires too fast

vague token
#

just slap hood in there

elder crane
#

this ofc is without Bunny Kais as well

vague token
#

should be fine

elder crane
#

Erm, no

real notch
#

you needed to adjust her gearing to have her barrage land within sendai flare

elder crane
#

Amagi defensive buffs is worth about as much as a Juneau heal

#

if not more

#

so... yeah

real notch
#

amagi defensive buffs is god tier yea

#

there is no ship as groundbreaking as amagi lol

#

in PVP meta

vague token
#

should have been 3 ships ;)

real notch
#

she's beyond T0

#

like

#

she's so good that

#

even if you take away any one of her skills

modern tree
#

Amagi is not "broken" its the level of mathematical error

real notch
#

she's still a good t1 or even t0

modern tree
#

someone just fucked up

elder crane
#

Literally she'd still be run without her barrage
let that sink in

vague token
#

i mean she still reduces aviation damage taken

real notch
#

she's BB statted BC

#

3 extremely strong buffs

elder crane
#

she'd be an option to swap out, but you'd still see her with no barrage

finite valve
#

wonder if yamato is going to live up with the hype against a sick cancer fox

vague token
#

i mean just slap on some radars

#

it's fine

real notch
#

not to mention amagi's barrage is something else lo

#

fucking AP, torpedos, HE shells

elder crane
#

It's DDAP so LeanderXD

real notch
#

yea amagi is worshippable

elder crane
#

the AP isn't really the thing

vague token
#

only the finest of 120 medium armor bonus

#

or w/e it was

#

on 230 base damage

#

xD

real notch
#

kek

elder crane
#

203 iirc

vague token
#

the ijn gud stuf

real notch
#

yea that's why i wasn't sold when amagi was first presented on paper

elder crane
#

They "compensated" for nerfing her originally planned defensive skills, I think

real notch
#

i saw the skills and was like, ehh this is pretty good

#

then i saw her level 10 barrage

#

and was like

#

ahhhh okay

elder crane
#

The defensive skills alone means Amagi for sure had a place somewhere

real notch
#

this is the most fucking broken ship in AL

vague token
#

someday tennessee's debuff will be reworked to be as good as amagi's

elder crane
#

I didn't figure out Namayuu though
I just thought it'd be WaSDA

#

which for a while was the 2nd best team

vague token
#

but without a barrage and without a backline evade buff

#

;)

real notch
#

yea

#

actually wasda was best team even at 1 point

#

it was better than amakaga

elder crane
#

Well only for EN

real notch
#

took about 2 weeks for people to realize tho

#

then wasda became a big wall lol

elder crane
#

Ehh idk imo Hiryuu/Amagi/X+stuff was the sleeper team no one really figured out

#

it murdered everything as offense

vague token
#

i was using amagi/hiryuu/dork or hood

#

ez mode

elder crane
#

I was running that team since right after CE

vague token
elder crane
#

Built it as a fox-counter, but it turns out to be legit elsewhere too

real notch
#

yea but i mean

#

we were trying hiryuu way before

#

and she just sucked vs foxes

#

lol

#

this was back in like november or october

elder crane

it was just patched in recently so dw

finite valve

cus i think you was

vague token
elder crane

and ofc the devs made no patchnote for it

which is EntyLUL

I was all confused for a good minute too

i mean do the devs do patch notes

pretty sure i saw those exp increase way before hot fixes

818 + ryuusei the ultimate fox equip now

modern tree

if the torp hit

real notch

how confirmed is this

finite valve
#

ask how many ppl in here use foxes

#

and you will get your answer

vague token
#

lol

finite valve
#

which is close to 1

#

that 1 being me

real notch
#

everyone here is a filthy meta slave except for a saratoga lover

elder crane
#

Yeah it's great if you have anything to follow up 818 with

modern tree
#

I use HMS, excuse you

real notch
#

idk how u can love saratoga

finite valve
#

818 is good on foxes

#

problem is they need to HIT first

elder crane
#

Ehh I fulfilled my quota of non-meta by using Hiryuu and WaSDA when they weren't cool

real notch
#

her voice activation is aids

finite valve
#

if the torp miss is just whatever

vague token
#

im not the most hipster here lol

elder crane
#

well with 9 torps in the water you're likely to hit something

finite valve
#

lol yeh right

#

i saw them miss more than hit

elder crane
#

just need to hit one VG and it's worth imo

modern tree
#

one vg hit is as good as all vg hits

real notch
#

idk who started wasda here but i think it was gurren, sumire and me

vague token
#

actually im using biscuit/amagi/sara atm offense

#

;))))

finite valve
#

wasd was meta vs foxes

elder crane
#

I used that at lv100

finite valve
#

for around what 1 or 1.5 season?

real notch
#

i think i confirmed the maxed fleetpower for wasda

#

with gurren

finite valve

after that is full on amagi

coral wren

Daxam came way later

elder crane
#

I was part of the discussion/testing on optimal WaSDA vanguards

real notch
#

i am a pretty OG pvp guy if i do say so myself

#

but that's only because the more OG guys left already

#

like

coral wren

I do Ayaya

#

Eldridge all over the place

real notch
#

recluse suzuteo and that other mask guy

#

oh his name was req

#

not really pvp guy tho

coral wren

I miss izurich

oh ya

i miss that guy for sure

#

i fought for his return

elder crane

Feb 2nd, tooting my own horn :P:
"
Overall, on EN, pretty much any of the top teams clearly wins on offense.
Amaka with torp-suicide-fl is the fastest of them all, so it's probably the "best" offense team right now
It works equally well with defensive frontline instead, but slower
WASDA/WASDE is as good as always better imo with torp/sui over defensive, but either works fine really
Have not tried WASDH yet, is next on list
Screw HMS until we get DoY

Recently, I've been trying out Amagi/Hiryuu/Enty as offense (Hood probably a fine sub for either Amagi or Ent), and with either suicide or stall frontline, to my surprise, it actually wins versus most anything (does especially well vs Akaga-type teams, which is what I originally designed it to target) with very high winrate, and a bonus of Hiryuu's 15 s immunity giving a much larger reset window in the rare case where things go really wrong"

real notch
#

then the psycho mods went to attack me

vague token
#

o.O

real notch
#

i also did the same thing for recluse but the mods just don't budge

#

feelsbadman

coral wren
#

They still come here from time to time, when have nothing to do, making a fucking joke out of themselves

real notch
#

yea

#

i think we have 1 mod that is on our side tho

#

syanda will help us

coral wren
#

Literally who

elder crane
#

Eyy I found my post predicting WaSDA
"
And her barrage is nothing to be scoffed at either.
Additionally, Amagi's main weakness is to planes, between her poor base AA and evasion not working on suicide damage. WASD covers for her on this."
Jan 18

real notch
#

lmao blue

elder crane
#

I was looking for that but didn't find it recently

real notch
#

yea i think u were an earlier wasda supporter too

#

when did amagi get relaesed

elder crane
#

"I think just going all-in on suicide frontline is better for Amaka, and maybe even for WASDA
Will try it both ways this season for WASDA"
Jan 21

coral wren
#

Are those guys still present on unofficial server?

elder crane
#

hmm, I'm sure I predicted WaSDA before that even

#

why is discord search sometimes so buggy...

real notch
vague token
#

lol

finite valve
#

none of the mods ever police ALEC since it is not official

real notch
finite valve
#

can do whatever

coral wren
#

And i still remember daxxam saying her buffs and debuffs are shit EmileSip

elder crane
#

Oh right, that's before I figured out where she'd fit LeanderXD

real notch
#

HAAHA

elder crane
#

I correctly predicted Amakaga is just worse Nakaga though

real notch
#

ok there is noone to blame there cus that was before we even saw amagi barrage

elder crane
#

Well I predicted WaSDA there

real notch
#

LOOL

vague token
modern tree

I was shilling for wasd amagi before day1

real notch
#

daxam trying to sell glowworm

elder crane
#

Though,
"That's true, but given HMS and USS matches up against NAKaga and most people think Nagato > Amagi for AKaga, I doubt it'll be more than just bandwagoning"
didn't realize Amakaga was good enough in EN with limited selections LeanderXD

real notch
#

omggg lol

vague token
#

donald trump is using 818 with 410 nagato

#

insta killing my vanguard

#

xD

#

sometimes

coral wren
#

I remember this too

real notch
#

oh, 410s with nagato?

#

that... seems reasonable

vague token
#

yeah foxes 410 nagato

real notch
#

what's the timing though

elder crane
#

410 Nagato very legit
it's just under 20s

vague token
#

i had to swap biscuit out

elder crane
#

But Bel should still just laugh at that

real notch
#

ohh i was thinking namaryuu not foxes

vague token
#

nakaga yeah

elder crane
#

Timing for 818 in Namayuu is shite

vague token
#

i dont think belfast would help

real notch
#

can't you time 381 nagato with 818s anyways?

vague token
#

i mean it would

#

but mine is 110

#

xD

elder crane
#

not til the 3rd Nagato volley

#

2nd Amagi and 3rd Nagato volleys

vague token
#

he's using sanrui/aurora/juneau

elder crane
#

problem is that's not enough value really

real notch
#

that's interesting

#

interesting theorycrafting

#

i have no time to do that shit nowadays

elder crane
#

I've been trying it past few days

vague token
#

my vanguard loses all trades

#

with biscuit

#

cause lol aa

real notch
#

i mean there's always room for foxes to somehow crawl back to meta

#

no actually

vague token
#

na there's always room for me to slap nagato back in

#

and murder that team comp

#

ez

#

who cares if vanguard dies

#

just shoot em

real notch
#

i might not have a job lo

#

this SQL shit is too fucking hard for me

elder crane
#

818 in Namayuu has issue that by time you can use the slow, dure to timings, enemy VG is already mostly dead

real notch
#

after studying 8 years in accounting

elder crane
#

usually it's just ykkz left and ykkz laughs at 818

real notch
#

suddenly starting a SQL heavy job

#

hard af

coral wren
#

amagi goes out of meta
That would be a dream come true

elder crane
#

amagi goes out of meta
...
cause even more OP ships join

dude it's just database garbage over and over again man

vague token

real notch

visual basic, SQL, R

coral wren

I have nothing against more op ships, if they are non ijn based and buff their faction only

Srsly

#

Fuck ijn

real notch
#

windows powershell

vague token
#

na

real notch
#

i'm about to lose my job lol

vague token
#

we need more crossfaction ships

#

to encourage more diverse lineups

#

it goes better with the theme of the game

#

which is bringing the factions together

#

to defeat sirens

elder crane
#

crossfaction ships with a specific strategy niche instead

real notch
#

lol

#

savgae

#

savage

#

i have a friend that lives in kenya and it's not that bad

elder crane
#

Like amagi could've been nice without barrage
maybe even buff her defensive skills

real notch
#

anyways they just really need to buff bismarck

coral wren
#

Well, i feel the only diversity you will get is. 2 ijn buffers with 1 random 3rd slot

real notch
#

like

vague token
#

bismarck doesnt need that much

#

actually

coral wren
#

Which is already there

elder crane
#

she would be a "if you try to run a shelling-heavy fleet, glhf vs me"

real notch
#

u cannot overbuff her in this KMS dry meta

vague token
#

she needs hit rate

#

and she needs a bit of base damage on her barrage

#

and she's fine

#

or like "critical hits automatically hit"

#

xD

real notch
#

she needs some kind of groundbreaking buff that validates KMS VG

#

otherwise the KMS VG are just gonna be forever trash

elder crane
#

Like, here's a proposed Amagi setup:
Similar stats, maybe lower FP and raise Eva
No barrage
20% Evarate and fire dred
Same stat debuff, maybe even 15% there

Slows down match significantly, and really reduces Shelling/Torp/Bomb damage but is vulnerable vs plane suicide

vague token
#

she's too much of a solo ship atm though

coral wren
#

Well, kms needs better ships for pvp, and good planes for graf. She shouldnโ€™t alone bring kms back into the game

real notch
#

yea or create some kind of interesting synergy with tirpitz

elder crane
#

KMS just doesn't have good enough other ships to use the buffs

vague token
#

she does have synergy with tirpitz

real notch
#

that'd be romantic and variety-breeding

vague token
#

it's called when she dies

#

tirpitz gets 70% damage

#

lol

real notch
#

lol...

elder crane
#

Stuff like Jun, Ykkz, Bel/Sheff, you run already

real notch
#

it's just a dmg boost though... that's so boring

#

or why not like

coral wren
#

Power creep police, stop right there

vague token
#

well, if tirpitz had good torpedos it'd be neat

real notch
#

lol

#

if they are in the same fleet

vague token
#

cause it does boost the torpedos

real notch
#

fire a COMBINED BARRAGE at 20 s

#

that'd be fucking sick

#

a barrage unlike you've ver seen

#

it's like an infinite darkness + wash barrage

elder crane
#

the torpwall from the boss version

vague token
#

118 biscuit crits for 2.2k on hiryuu with izumo gun

#

i dont understand why biscuit didnt get the black hole thing

#

from pve

#

instead of her weird barrage

real notch
#

oh yea that'd be sick too

#

holy shit

vague token
#

it'd be good for pve

#

neat for pvp

real notch
#

ryuusei with blackhole

elder crane
#

it probably broke the game BuckySmug

vague token
#

and like it synergizes with her cl gun skill

#

pulling vanguard to a spot where she guns em

#

it's good design

#

GOOD DESIGN

#

WHY ISNT IT REAL

elder crane
#

yeah, add in the black hole, even make it do no damage

vague token
#

yeah

#

doesnt need damage

real notch
#

yea

#

this is high IQ thinking session

#

why aren't we hired by yostar yet

vague token
#

you know why

#

;)))))))))))

elder crane
#

Idk if the game code can handle that though

#

it probably breaks the AI somehow

real notch
#

because yostar doesn't give a shit about PVP KEK

coral wren
#

Blackhole skill would be useful in pve for neutralizing torps

#

And immobilizing ships

vague token
#

honestly instead of her barrage

#

they should have given her a CL gun barrage

#

that triggers with her cl gun

#

like zeppy

#

to synergize with black hole

#

cut the damage but make it spammy

#

while her vanilla shells are for big deeps

#

cause crits

#

my 118 biscuit crits 120 hiryuu for 2.3k or so

She should be good

and sanrui might be better

elder crane

But also not groundbreaking

stark raft

Nep is just tanky stall

elder crane

Mostly I've heard Nep>Sanrui unless vs Aurora

vagrant veldt
#

advantage of Neptune is higher AA

elder crane
#

And Nep is top CL DpS iirc
Or close

coral wren
#

they both take middle spot or yuki's placxe?

vagrant veldt
#

Yukikaze is more scared of Aurora

elder crane
#

Either lead or mid

stark raft
#

HMS AA not scared of any planes even without bel BuckySmug

elder crane
#

Nep is pretty heavily affected by Aurora too

#

At the standard CL evarates Aurora knocks off about 1/4-1/3 of eHP

vagrant veldt
#

Aurora is just scary

elder crane
#

Ofc on DDs or vs smokes/etc. Aurora does even more, but even just vs a naked CL she already does a lot

vagrant veldt
#

at last Neptune has hp advantage compared to Yukikaze

#

which highlights the problem of DD's low hp

elder crane

Well with her heal she has one of the highest vanguard HP pools, Nep

the main thing is the mle destroys the nepgun
