ok after changing to proper gear on gascogne 5-5. (she's using 457 so her survival means a lot it seems)
so full french main fleet is a meme afterall, who knew 
but riche looks interesting as a Nagato replacement option
that VG looks about right. that's the vg power I expect without gold boiler
main should be right too. mine is 1551x-1555x depending on amagi setup
better then 2-8 
ah they are
im planning to use french pvp fleet when i get mine to 120
but no fdg so im gonna be looking for a 3rd, will likely be between WS and Monarch
kinda disappointed to hear that you had them both oathed :p figured i might be able to squeeze a bit more juice out of em
I guess the twin 406 skc matters more on PvP than PvE for Richelieu. that earlier firing time could decide a match
HPFCR works on her first non-preload salvo right?
it's wasted on her with twin 406
yeah was gonna say she's already firing really quick, diminishing returns
have you tried how much better the 406 skc is compared to the mk6?
best win ever
the only would change is making her use barrage less
mk6 has better vg pressure but that's like using 2 oxy on vg praying for rng
fair enough. mk6 gets put back on PvE mainly then
neat, that's about the fleet i was planning to use
and that's 7-3 vs the namagifdg azykkju and not some other jabronie fleet right
i wouldn't mind testing against namaryuu well equipped. bb teams do better vs namagi fdg then namaryuu
who would you try to have lined up against hiryuu?
i would just test them all
i see
well i hope you find it then
has helena retrofit made a dent in jp pvp?
i doubt she would, but she did get a pretty massive AA buff
i'm wondering if she could be a good plug and play option against foxes/hiryuu
i would test vs namaryuu in en (vs known people) tbh. it's too hard to have any clue what opponents use on that comp
for sure
my own is coming together quite quickly ☺️
u'll have to ask stella for that. i'm too tired of al to keep playing in en too
what's ur azuma dev level? it's 26 on stella acc
25, 6 off from 26
Makes sense. Are you going to try Richi/Amagi/WS?
i can but it would never be a comp
Care to explain, is it because loss of early amagi barrage?
why not just nagato instead of richy
Just wondering if it can perform better than Nagato or about the same
but if I want damage on enemy vanguard I have Azuma
namagi ws has almost 100% win rating vs namagi fdg
i don't think is less rng tho
that's how long it should be
that vg feels off
yea
both in positioning and fleet power
low power
Anyway, Amagi FDG Wakai, Amagi flag, no?
9-1 with saint and 10-0 with azuma. but again with namagi ws i never lost to namagi fdg
it would be more interesting testing against other stuff like ws amagi fdg that is hard without a proper tank
is Richelieu super amazing in pvp or she just alright ?
kinda want to oath her to try pvp
don't oath for pvp
it's only an effective 5.6% stats gain from oath
so how is richelieu ?
I plan to put her to a jpn fleet
no other french ship beside her tho
i don't think she is better then nagato with amagi-azuma teams. she is a side grade to amagi without nagato.
Basically
Amagi but no need of HPFCR w/ less of defensive capacity
Her only defense is her offense of her barrage tbh
So just put her flag in Riche FDG Wakai comp
Obviously she's weaker than my wife
while overall wr richy ws fdg is pretty much same as amagi ws fdg in most non-hiryuu cases richi variant is slower overall
Yeah
Also worse defense
W/ my wife u could get long time defense
While w/ riche u could only debuff enemies on her barrage proc
damn why wouldnt you want to use the best, if not the best then its shiet then 
Anyway
DrH or Hoodgun on her? Sounds like DrH for that FP n shelling dmg but kinda wanted Hoodgun for spamming that debuff more often @zenith tundra
Or perhaps
Monarch gun?
her dubuff can last 30s
u don't need to spam it
also considering that her dmg is mostly mg and burns
So, DrH? @zenith tundra
maybe mk6 tbh
@zenith tundra anyway zack, wonder why tf double twin 457 user of wamagi fdg often puts my wife on wakai snipe focus
Isnt the norm should be Amagi center tho?
Would more or less people rush if players stopped getting merit after hitting AotN?
There will still be players who want to hog top 10 just-because, rewards or no rewards, but there'd be less food to get bonus ladder points if there weren't random rushers.
is fdg barrage not supposed to hit enemy backline xD
@frail orbit no one is supposed to be in any position. u change ships positions baded on opponent
2 attempts , on first get 4 misses from ws kai skill to fdg

You can math that out pretty easy. How many multiples of 35 is the score difference
But just know 19 is your max points gained
It's last day and my max is 78 rn. I'm jusy gonna become food today
So if I have 120 bonus points, but are only 50 above the season minimum (rush without any bonuses is 2490), I have a what, 41.7% efficiency?
2494 to be specific but yeah only around 40% which is very low tbh. it should be around 60% tbh
(not if u missed attempts tho)
Good evening, folks. Just came back to game and find that, i need more buffs
Are 3 lines possible?
Thanks Zack (and I missed seven attempts; bonuses were incredibly generous this season)
Though by that formula, if I've only 50 bonuses and 50 above EoS minimum, I technicality have 100%
I can still rush top 3 right now, so I'm not complaining 
@static gull you can get more buffs (throw Yuubari up front, sub in DDs, cats in PvE), but why?
Dido + QE = ❤️
QE useless as usual 
lel
wym 3 lines
@coral wren thereby raising shipfu morale ) just joking
There's no "lines" lol
LMAO
Skill popups are attached to ship location
So your second "line" is just the vanguard skill activations lol
Cursed screen
My progress on my pvp comp
Ok I'm just gonna push all 10 

something kinda goofy is that like 90% of juneau's xp has been from dailies and excercises
juneau is also starting to not be the last of the vanguard to die
Bested Donald Trump?
I have a dumb observation. If I get 25 points over 2496 without missing a single ticket, I'll have 100% of bonuses? That's an odd %.
I'm sure trump has one more match, but still 1 point less than me
if I'm not in 2590 range right now. No point in sandbagging last reset
how do people get so much evade on thei backline? rudder + radar?
@upper sparrow shes still preventing a big buff to everyone else
Huh. How do I get 100 merit a fight? If I'm already in top 10 and not entering it?
gotta currently be top 10 for 100 merit fights
it's easier to see when AotN is unlocked and you choose to become food
anyone got indep with sl10 barrage?
Holy cow! People are so ahead. I’m sitting at Dev 24 and was feeling pretty happy but some are already maxed out!
doing 3 cube projects as refreshes helps speed things up
No 457 ?
, or maybe you just have low fleet tech.
Does Sandy Kai see any top tier meta fleet play?
not really, we're in a bb meta and hiryuu usually is killing you when your vg is dead
and she doesnt have any durability skills to help her stick around to that point
On Sandy theres only like 5 ppl who bother to put up a tryhard defense fleet 
Okay Im exaggertaing a little, more like its 5 people who have maxed out fully oathed defense fleet with optimal loadouts and then like 50 people with meta fleets but have missing oaths and questionable loadouts. Out of a typical top 100 here on Sandy.
the rest are joke/novelty fleets, slightly off meta or whatever

gotta say pvp community,,, disappointed in you this season, last season there were way more neat fleets,,,,

Come to Avrora. Welcome to die.
need to run a beaver badge on either monarch, warspite, or noshiro, whomst gets it?
who 3d on main?
It's been several months since I stayed up late to see who's going to get the top 3
(it's almost 02:00 am where I live)
And I need to wake up later at 06:00 am
At least I beat my previous record, 2587 -> 2588

👀
there we have it, richy is the queen, officially
damn right she is
mm good food 
whoa never seen that AI there before

guess that means i was the 4th person to refresh
The last few seconds were a little chaotic
nice excield
If you get AI it means you logged out & back in too early
2601 was the one to get 1st place right? (on avrora)
Yeah
Had to fight the dude with Dev 30 FDG/Azuma, managed to win first try. I dont think he had 457mm tho. Need to get that shit if I want easy consistent wins.

niiiice i got someone using their exercises early
70lvl food on top 
life of sandbagger start again
kamita was constantly on my ass
I got +8 on that final reset
uhh im forgetting, is a petty officer this early gonna be somebody who already used all 5?
fuck it either way he dies
You can hit petty with 4 so not always
grrr ill wait a minute
Yeah it's easier now
108
If they're on like 110+

By any chance do you always screenshot the first places?
someone does every season
oo i got tatsuye
should i try to out-sandbag or go for one of the petty officers next to him
here was last season
tekana maybe
taseman went up 40 ranks
looking tasty
ye
yeah i think its a safe bet taseman used all 5
uhh just log out and log back in

they always move, they're good people!
trust!
server?
avrora
yeah im going for taseman
ahhh this guy moved once
It's the richie collusion
shhh



THANK YOU DAIOS


Sandy score lower than Washington 
never hitting 2600+ ever again
and the one time I did I wasn't even top 1 
this is wash
Oh, I guess I meant Lexington then.
Right 
How many maximum bonus for pvp?
Is anyone here even on Lexington?
started at 600 smth rank
won 1 match, no bonus points
moved to 827
why.jpeg
Im on Sandy, twice 
Why starter position matter?
Gotta farm them guild points with rotating alts 
It doesn't, really. Just curious what happened and why it works like this
Log out & back in
god dammit i should've played against that rank 18 guy
nope, my leftmost guy is 700 now
welcome to nobody moves zone
as long as you use all 5 before reset 3 ur okay
700 is probably still good food 40 minutes in i would guess +33, +32
oh well, next season it is
How player can get +30 every attack?
i'm guessing a massive rank point difference
Yes but lucky is involved too
im on 32-31-29
jesus
its just from having the biggest gap possible
i waited for someone to do 5, then another to do 5, then one more
sadly my first guy had a kinda bad fleet, could have gotten more than 32
doesn't it only depend on gap though
They are called one huge load,lol
I can only do 5 battles 
Fuck.
Btw any new fleets changes to fleets?
N
So even russians or baguette or new muricans with helena kai cant compete to almighty devs' wet dream zoo fleet?
now whats amagi
@ebon schooner amagi server top 3. I was asleep so i didn't screenshot but found it on ALM's discord
Also thanks for the avrora screenshot. I wanted to know my final placing
So even russians or baguette or new muricans with helena kai cant compete to almighty devs' wet dream zoo fleet?
@jovial sedge
Have you overlooked bestiality tag when downloaded AL?
R PEOPLENOT TIRED OF SANDBAGGING?
Why is Noshiro still considered pretty good in pvp even though her tankiness disappears ?
Because pvp enemies have very high accuracy and her tankiness depends on her eva rate buff
At least.. that’s what I was told
Noshiro cute and stronk 
Very good ship
Noshiro cute and stronk
@upper sparrow very stronk i guess or it just luck

imagine if this noshi have rainbow torp 
Hey guys just wonderin if i could get an opinion, I am tryin to decide who the last member of my VG is gonna be for the season, I havnt PvP on a server other than Amagi in a long time and I'm not sure what I should do. My choices are limited and I don't have another true "meta" ship, so i just wanna make the best with what ive got. I am running Yukikaze and Juneau, but my choices for the third ship are Sandykai, Portland, Niimi, or Spee at level 120, as well as Minne and Neptune at level 115. I can't really see it being viable to send in a ship that is lower level than that. My Noshiro is only level 105 and I know Bel is out of meta now and shes only level 113. What do you guys think is the best play?
Main fleet is Warkai, Centaur and Saratoga. I know Sara isn't meta, but again, of the ships I have at 120, shes better than Hood or a level 115 JB
as a side note, I also have QE at level 115, and i know she would buff Centaur and Warkai, but she just doesnt hit hard at all and I'm afraid the buff isnt worth the loss of damage
neptune
youre losing 15% efficiecny
but none of the other options you listed are good so kinda forced to use the best of the worst
yea, i know its not ideal, best of what i have is sorta what i was goin for
ca are generally useless, niimi is not good
yea Niimi is only 120 for the sake of gettin FDG
so youre stuck with sandykai or nept
same with Spee
id pick nept
yea i am gonna go with Nep, about Portland though...not enough damage or what? shes a good tank...just wonderin what a 115 Nep has over a 120 Portland?
i went with sandy kai on the amagi server since there's a lot of 2 cv comps
there's no warkai there though?
depends on opponents but nep is better in almost any case then sandy. if amagi meta is cv everywhere then sandy would be better
oh youre amagi
oh mb
I am also one of those 2 CV comps on Amagi. Unfortunately i just dont have many options
but the whole entire meta on Amagi right now has nothin to do with ships and everything to do with not forgetting to do your runs
good thing people were asking about meta fleets for amagi before it was even up
haha yea...there really aint a meta. Still TONS of Hood on Amagi
my favorite is side Hood + Uni flag
everyone got hood at the start seems reasonable
Yea
I think the real way to go on amagi right now is foxes
theres no warkai
so thats helpful
foxes are great on there but once nagato is released they'll be inferior so I'm not going to invest in them.
but like i said, at the end of the day, if you have leveled ships, the only thing that really matters is not missin your runs

Related to your initial question, what other ships do you have? do u have formi? amagi? hiryuu or monarch or anything?
on your sandy account
not leveled
one second
the pickins are thin
ideally id run Warkai, Amagi and Centaur
how long have you play the game
but Amagi not there yet
Well ive had an account since launch but i would go weeks without loggin in for a very long time. I didnt start really playin seriously until...i think HoloLive was my first event that i actually tried in, and i didnt really understand the game until maybe....Polaris?
for the longest time it was just 100% cute girl collection to me
I would use warkai amagi monarch/hiryuu. One of your backliners needs to be able to tank Warkai and amagi/fdg focus. Amagi and centaur suck at that, and u want warkai to live to dish out damage.
I prefer monarch over hiryuu in that comp as i've found it more consistent after testing, but either is fine
Yea but mine are super underleveled
level them then 
well yea of course, i just mean for now
I have been workin on Amagi, all her skills are maxed, just tryin to get levels on her now, but itll take a couple weeks probably
did you manage to get noshiro? I hate to say it but noshiro is better than neptune for pvp
and sandy kai, portland etc.
Yes i have Noshiro but she is only level 105
i have every single event ship without missing one since HoloLive
but the only ones i have leveled are what you see here
for VG reference
ok so ur leveling priorities are noshiro juneau amagi and monarch or hiryuu
for pvp
Yea been workin on Juneau, fortunately if somebody is gonna be underleveled its okay that its her
yea
yuki nimi port 
I am workin on Noshiro right now, she is the priority in the VG
I find richie more of a side grade when compared to nagato
Really? I thought zack tested warkai amagi richie and found it underwhelming.
Oh actually he said he didn't want to test it i think
I mean I used richie the entirety of the last 4 days and didn’t experience issues
I found I was killing vg quicker than using nagato
How did u find tanking enemy warkai? Who did u use to tank
I'll have to try it but it doesn't sound better than what I've already got
Honestly it’s not an upgrade of nagato
More of a , if you don’t have nagato but have richie, you’ll be fine
You can still compete against meta consistently
Richie that good huh?
also a big buff for saint louis users who are far off from azuma
killed my sandbag
141 for first 5
should have went after koroshiya as soon as I saw him move last night, I could have gotten another mover
dang the pinned messages where removed? hmm weird
The B word is forbidden in PVP
Idk
Gotta give it time until Nimi stops crying about not having an oath skin & decides to punish you or not

enjoy your ban
hmmm, I got one bonus this reset 
godbless that certain mod who warns and bans ppl because apparently

anybody know these names? i got paired up with them at rank 4 and 3 were top 100, should i refresh?
just compile a list of people
its avrora
i figured since they all went for 5 early that at least one of them would go quickly 
im guessing they're just waiting too, darn


@polar wren join me in Amawaryuu
Well, FDG soon™️
don't have her
Yea but she is available
and even then, i still need iron blood techpoints
You can get her
toe ven start
so im working on getting roon rn
I have 588/630 with Spee at 119 and z18 in the dorm gettin leveled to 70

im 300/630
I just workin Gascogne in the meantime which is puttin levels on Zep
So it will be easier to farm exp with her for FDG
Also helpin me raise Richelieu in the meanwhile. I am doin JB/Richie/Zep
if i max lb the other german ships i have and get roon im at 506 :/
106 rn
I think if i just bleed cubes ill have a dev30 FDG in 90-120 days


For enterprise should i use barracuda or tbm avenger? Because tbm avenger have 1s reload longer
only barracuda
what is tbm avenger?
that plane exists?

I thought azur lane only have ryusei and berracuda

Yeah i have used for a while like 1 month and i realized the reload time is longer than barracuda
Alright, I will switch back to barracuda
🅱️ erragecuda

The word barracuda is skirting a fine line
A mod warned someone here for posting a barrage gif when someone prior asked about said ships viability
this reset only or total?

This is the first reset of the season afterall
I know one person on my 2nd list will move eventually
didn't think it was at the end
perfect. 137 start
138
actually not my worse. that was 135 I believe
not counting that season where I got stalled into a new season
my worse was ~110 when i tired starting with attempt from season before
This would have been a better start if sleep didn't defeat me last night
staying up 30min after new season start is the best way to catch early rushers

I see Kiro on my new list 
lel , nakaga sandbangers
eh, i can turn this around
i got a 149 start
doesn't matter though, not like i have a good comp to do much later on
is jean d'arc any good in pvp ?
i just got +18 bonus in 3rd reset in jp 
i haven't tested her but she's slow and her timing doesn't really matter
with enough resetting and a juneau you can probably beat any team in pvp as long as your ship is 120, max skills, and good gear 
they could just copy paste everything thats been said here
but that means giving a shit about pvp which no one does

I never noticed it because I don't play with sound, but sometimes in exercises the music is different? Is that from the opponent having certain ships or items?
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Ankimo from the hololive event, it's basically a boiler
oh, that's what I thought, but they weren't using any collab ships so I wasn't sure
so attacking fleet doesn't have any bonus ?
defending fleet's damage output is reduced by 20% is a more accurate statement.
if attacker had a damage bonus, front loaded damage would be even stronger
cause ws would probably just 1 shot someone
but since we get a DR boost, attacker is rewarded heavily for durability
since if you push back your own TTK you have a higher chance to use one more cd

imagine, but sandbang part on docs blocked 
Cool skin plane
imagine playing pvp but the game update pvp score everytime you check exercise page rather than having to relog game every single time

That would make too much sense 
PvP is a minigame by itself. Logging in and out is part of it.
But it's not like it's usable as an exercise pit either. 
LOGGING IN AND OUT IS A PART OF PVP?
How else are the devs to tell you they don't care.
/devbp
dev telling us they dont care by making a happy accident
like what is the reason for relogging
they dobnt want to waste server ram resource and force us to relog?
make sense

the only thing i can think of is to prevent people from spamming it and create servers load for no reason
geez no one is moving, is everyone a sand bagger now like tf
is there any rule of thumb for how many ranks apart you should be when sandbagging?
depends on where you are currently in the season
me at 4.4k vs someone at 2k
when you sandbag enough, you will begin to recognize when to move, who to hit and what not
rip my entire summer holiday
id probably attack
id say a +2 or +3
yeah i got +3
are you avrora?

I just joined avrora because my friend was already on there :(
Is this the only pvp spreadsheet? I remember there was one with usernames listed.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qcsL0u7Kl1TfF9J2vjwgXy7msNuY-CpLLAaMfKKjPds/edit
What are you looking for? A list of sandbaggers?
A list of old rushers.
Maybe it's me, but a few names I used to remember as rushers are now baggers.
to my knowledge, there is no list of "sandbaggers" or "rushers"
i do keep a personal list of them

juneau front, belfast middle and what's a good ship for the back?
yukikaze sama
Also you might want to swap Juneau to mid and Belfast to front depending on matchup
Nagato/Amagi/Warspite is a top tier backline, yes.
Torp VG however, is only good if you get a good opening and sink enemy Juneau fast enough. Or if you trade VG's and are using Hiryuu with her invuln still available.
when would i want Juneau mid ?
When u are facing torpmeme i guess, still hit or miss tho
But shouldnt put jun mid on def. Fleet with BB focused
@ebon schooner I used to, I really should have kept it going. Because the PvP bonuses form has username inputs, I figure it tracks who was on defense.
lol
That was just a tracker on who recorded the data. and that is only sometimes used.
recording our opponent's names and cataloging them is more work that I don't want for this project
i havent xD
What vg do you have rn
Sheffield is good on stalling enemy, idk about the muse one tho, should ask hms specialist @ionic magnet 
i only used the old sheffield before
best stall VG for sure
muse sheff should not be too far off
bigger question is if you have jun and ykkz

i got bel at front, london mid and muse shef back
im building jun
and i don't have sandy retro or yukikaze yet
community google doc that put name of sandbagger
so you ctrl F search the name to check bagger
!
sandbrager
sand🅱️ arrager
gl
5 matches in 9 minutes is easy, but that means 0 bonus this reset 
lul

if you dont do pvp now you gonna get alot of point next reset!!!11
yes, the post was about no bonuses lol
normally I wouldve refreshed at the begining after seeing all those low level players
but I was busy
and just ignored it after finishing the matches previously
so why is warspite good in pvp? her skill targets the furthest enemy right?
so you can basically just snipe the non-flagship backrows
her 🅱️arrage does good damage and her shots prioritize backline
and she just has better than average accuracy
ah, I guess that she generally prioritizes backline is already good enough
even though you can't focus flagship
i mean if you want flag focus you usually can get away with monarch kinda
The thing is her 🅱arrage can deplete 70%-90% enemy backline hp in one-shot
not as good cause no luck and low accuracy
yabai
lvl 102 too low for start replacing Noshiro for Azuma?
What dev she is


eat leftmost or wait?
🍖 
easy choice. if you have any doubt then look at the scores above them and see if it can give you any more bonus points
assuming they have 1 match left
Damn. I thought I had a good start.
Oh. The Essex event. Sandy and Lexington once again try hardest; already at 95%. Amagi be Avrora just 97.
what aux should I put on Aurora in mid/rear position
Come and eat me 
vs namaryuu 
matches are like 40s each this early in the season anyways
the game kept me at the result screen for my last match
see recover timer at :59

what rank are u guys at
imagine using eldi as tank 
Imagine using vestal as a tank
I didnt know that playing with trash ships is so funny
What dev she is
20
also if I'm using Azuma + YKKZ + Juneau, who gets the Pearl?
juneau gets the pearl.
yeah sadly there no other choice really. You could put it on ykkz but ehhhh.
you could.. but------------ just pray your main fleet doesn't die before her
Is there anything redeeming about this AA or should I stick to the meta
It's already part of the meta. While it isn't as good as the STAAG, it performs similarly enough to it you could use it on your BBs.
stick to meta if you can
hazemeyers are a stepping stone towards STAAG, not a replacement.
While you're here, in relation to @glacial shuttle question of Pearl equip, wouldn't Azuma at d20 be worth it? Once she hits 30 it could go on Juneau.
Meh.
Gonna replace Warkai for Hiryuu, this good enough?
I think reppu is supposed to be a bit more optimal.
Depends on who tf u wanna go against
and personally, im more of a cuda guy. Ryuusei is just not that great.
The only place where Ryuusei shines is when enemy VG is gone.
cuda sucks with 1 cv tho
^
what suicide dmg with 8 planes
i prefer ryuusei so much
Ryuusei loses out on so much damage in general
always misses VG
less backline damage
less backline dmg what? ryuusei deletes backlines without vg...
literally only good after you've eliminated their VG for concentrated backline damage which at that point you already won anyways
He wants more crash dmg btw, zack
i swear it's much more easier to it main fleet with ryuusei
i lost plenty of matches where i won vg
and even so, Ryuusei is still RNG when aiming at backline
i mean it could be main fleet vs main fleet you'd never know how RNG treats you
all french fleets win vg and lose 50% of the main vs main
Like what
Imagine crash dmg not even that much of a burst
I literally never have problems using cuda
Like what
Ryuusei is such a meme
more like server preferences for good or bad fleets on defense
Perhaps
Am not on Sandy after all
And Zack on JP + Avrora by proxy of Stella's acc so
When I was using Ryuusei on offense, shit sucked so bad. Like no VG damage, whats the point
1k suicide more dmg won't kill a fdg with 25k hp and decent aa
RNGesus bruh
Imagine only sandbag
Going for the speediest fleet
But then not realizing some potent shit
hiryuu purpose is to finish fight not to kill vg
there is no reason to use inferior Ryuusei when Barracuda does literally everything better except in one small situation where you don't even need the extra backline damage
I don't have to deal with RNG bruh when using cuda
u won't ever kill fdg with cudas
ah yes, the daily cuda vs ryuusei fight 
We'll see about that.
then again how many fdg did u fight in good comps maxed yet?
FDG is pretty overrated imo
what.
from my own experience
Thats bkoz

U havent seen much of it
For me, if you want hiryuu to survive til the end of the battle, use ryuusei to nuke opponent backline after vg is dead. if not / if ur using her to tank, use barracuda
u only see fdg full potential once u see tank ws all fight and still mvp because she doesn't die
You realize I dont even have to see a maxed enemy FDG myself?
Keks
U go against her, not using her

Then u could talk
Try using FC comp against FDG D30 based
Or Namaryuu vs FDG D30 based
it's an album btw
I meant for Nagatoot
only got 2 but I'd rather use them for PvE first
Koz Indo sucks
Cant open imgur
that setups for vg is pretty slow
^ torpedo bulge on juneau might not be worth losing the speed of a boiler
who has the beaver
no one
..
3stack of boiler da wae
I don't have to go up against an enemy FDG to know she's overrated when I use her myself. And yeah, she's a tad bit overrated.
This is da wae
Nagato = SKC + Nepgun + STAAG + SG + Rudder
Amagi = Hoodgun + Nepgun + STAAG + SG + Rudder
Hiryuu = VF17 + Helldiver + Ryuusei + Rudder + Fuel
Juneau = 138 + Quad Mags + Roomba + Pearl + Bulge
Yukikaze = 100mm + Quad Mags + Quad Bofors + Boiler + FE
Azuma (d20) = Azumagun + 138 + STAAG + Rudder + Gyroscope
@frail orbit
why do you think she's overrated phoenix?
But its fine. I'll set up a Namagi FDG defense and have my guild mates test it later
0 Luck
is that all? xD
No rainbow quintmag?
I'd rather not use Beaver becuz PvE HM reqs, same for Rainbow Torps since only got 1
So drop Juneau Bulge for Boiler?
U need extra speed tho
Yeah
Boiler 3 da wae
Gyro is boiler too anyway dont @ me

She's still a top tier ship no doubt. But overrated nontheless. NamagiWS and still better and more reliable, for offense purposes at least.
namagi ws doesn't easily beat ws amagi fdg tho
alright, fixed Juneau, nothing else?
also what should be vanguard order? Juneau / Azuma / YKKZ?
either ws or amagi is sacrificed to enemy focus because both cannot tank
^
Well according to my guildmates, its still pretty easy to beat. I've had that defense set up last season and told my guildmate specifically to test NamagiWS lol. Maybe I need more 457's but I doubt it'll make a difference.
U need to repeat a lot of it anyway
for me easy means 100% wr
In my experience, this fleet is the only fleet that my WAM fleet has gone below 6-4 against (it went 5-5). And I've done a lot of tests by now
are u focusing amagi or monarch mid?
ws mid monarch top (opposite fdg) amagi bottom (opposite enemy amagi). I didn't think focusing fdg would be the best way but i did terrible when i tried to focus amagi (same goes for namaryuu actually)
dafuq? you think 90% isn't easy?

Asking again since idk, what vanguard order should be with Azuma, Juneau, YKKZ
u need to put ws opposite to fdg so she never targets her before namagi
the easiest way to win is avoiding doing dmg on fdg and killing the other 2 before her @whole terrace
90% wr vs meta defense is bare minimum imo for a t0 comp
if u lose more then that u are not t0
@glacial shuttle juneau lead vs ws and mid vs mirror.
He tested both flank positions. Unfortunately he couldn't get more battles in since he accidently beat me. But its not like it matters since most losses are cause by something dumb like Juneau deciding to not die or just plain bad RNG. 90% is well within the normal realm of a typical top tier comp vs RNG.
Regardless, that comp isn't an issue for NamagiWS
are Azuma and YKKZ aux fine then?
namagi fdg has more wr then that tho. doesn't really change that
u can never lose to ws teams with fdg and won't lose to anything else either other then utterly trash rng in mirror
Yeah I highly doubt that. NamagiFDG might be better on defense because she can powerspike but NamagiWS is still king on offense if you want reliablity and good win rates.
yes azuma and yukikaze are fine. u really need to use beaver, it makes a huge difference
good luck proving that namagi ws is better on offense
Hmmm... Beaver on Nagato then?
yes she is usually who gets it
the easiest way to win is avoiding doing dmg on fdg and killing the other 2 before her
@zenith tundra That sounds logical but i tried that and it didn’t work well
I’ll get a chance to try again
This is where the 0 luck argument comes into play. Warspite is just way more consistent than FDG. FDG's extra tankiness isn't gonna help when half her shells miss.
what are u using on ws
Usually Rudder/HPFCR
not u dave
anyway 0 luck argument would only ever be relevant if double sg is not an option for her
she can still tank and do enough dmg to carry
i'd put a rudder in there and have her tank fdg. it should work @whole terrace
I guess warkai can’t tank fdg well with that. that did cross my mind
fdg does 0 dmg because luck it seems. outside of a 2s fire and consistent barrages every 15s
Why not use both?
Sure, except using double SG FDG lowers her eHP to the point where Warspite is just as tanky as FDG. So there's the luck argument coming into play once again. And even at that, Warspite Rudder/HPFCR still has more accuracy than double SG FDG 
So the only thing FDG has got going for her is her ability to supercrit, if you enjoy praying to RNG.
dmg wise they are different tho. ws is a burst at 10s and then 1 guaranteed shelling vs main. fdg dmg is higher especially main vs main
yeah well these differences transfer into one being better on offense than the other. And WS still reigns.
whatever just prove than namagi fdg losses more then namagi ws on offense
I noticed famine is using hiryuu over fdg on defence?
no 457
fdg doesn't really do well without that so i guess he's using hiryuu for now
I'm still surprised. That fdg comp did better than Donald trump's comp, which is the same as famine's
I'll set up proper tests soon enough but as of now, that is my current assessment based on actual stats/ numbers and the couple times I used NamagiFDG on offense, which had me resetting more times than that of using NamagiWS for multiple seasons lol.
idk how u even reset with namagi fdg tbh
Easy. FDG misses her shots and doesn't have the guaranteed backline shelling.
And she's really not that much tankier all things considered.
double sg fdg is still tankier then ws
that's an old meme

I know 90 luck is a massive difference, but is it enough to offset FDG's (1900 x 2.35?) more hp + her defensive skill?
Where are you getting that? Initially, I actually thought double SG FDG had slightly more eHP than Rudder/HPFCR Warspite but it turns out that I accidently set Warspite luck to 0 but now that I fixed that, the sheet says Rudder/HPFCR Warspite has way more eHP than double SG FDG 
and still has like 9% more shelling accuracy that FDG 
the difference is like 40.9k 2 sg fdg vs 40.4k hpfcr rudder ws. fdg with rudder hpfcr is 42.9k
against ws
do u ever take into account amagi buffs and debuffs?
Nah, just calculating raw eHP. Amagi eva rate buff is flat anyways. Didn't calculate debuffs but imo not that important to consider when both teams are using Amagi anyways.
sg rudder which i run for fdg tank is 43.1k ehp
but with same setup ws has same ehp
but who would give up the op dmg of hpfcr for ehp on ws
FDG SG/SG 17,694 ehp
without amagi is 32.6k ws hpfcr rudder vs 33.8k double sg fdg. it goes from 1.23% more to 3.68% up
why tf are u using a pve calc
WS Rudder/Nothing 20324 ehp
did u take 2.34x hp into account
nope. Like I said, just raw ehp.
But I guess the pvp hp multiplier would give FDG a bit more of an edge.
what luck what hit
enemy 50 hit, 0 Luck. I suppose I could fine tune those but I doubt it matters in the grand scheme. I could see the pvp hp multiplier making a difference for FDG though.
2.34x hp eh?
there is the formula in pins if u don't believe me
its not that I don't believe you, its just that the pvp hp multiplier has always been...sorta cloudy. I'll plug those numbers in anyways if thats what you want.
Warspite still wins slightly by about 3%. But with DR, FDG overtakes.
So I guess FDG still somewhat retains her percieved tankiness thanks to pvp hp multipler at least 
buffs do make a difference too. going from 1.2% to 3.6% difference with and without amagi
wait, amagi debuff doesnt even affect EVA. why does that even matter lol.
if u calculate amagi debuff like a 7.15% dr it does matter
Yeah but both teams are using Amagi. What exactly is changing here?
if u are calculating ehp whatever opponent uses amagi or not doesn't matter
also 10% flat evasion is more a boost on lower base evasion rate then high ones
ws without amagi 23.62% evasion. with amagi 33.62%. 42.3% more
fdg without amagi 12.84% evasion. with amagi 22.84%. 77.8% more
but it actually helps ws more tbh. without amagi buff she is lower then fdg somehow in comparation. luck working more when u have high evasion
