Weird, but okay
Woke up 8:55, my reset's at 9
Oof
Got 4 fights in, the 5th apparently counted as past 9
Even if I hate where I live I'm at least lucky enough be in the same time zone as server time
Which makes things easier
Pretty sure it was before 9, but apparently not 
π²
β°
Probably fine, just fixing and matching the tier 1 backline is fine for offense
But dropping amagi is a pretty weird choice
With her evasion and fire control
Why would you not run Amagi if you have her? But it doesn't sound bad
Something about it just feels off
I suppose I can test it and see how it stacks against standard main fleets
I think I missed like 20 matches this season 
cya on next 


@crude mortar
Yes
It is
Im not done building the fleet yet but that's what i have lol
Don't mind Ayanami she's there until Jintsuu is ready
naka + sendai deal more dmg than that 
Doubt

I already waited on this dude to move for a +2 for this long
worse case scenerio is a +1
quit using triple CV against enty 

actually 7 in a row
not 6
70% proc in 7in a row
30% 30% 30% 30% 30% 30% 30%
0.02187% CHANCE???
I SHOULD'VE ROLL FGO GACHA
5 SSR ALREADY
ya it takes the 100 into consideration

nice one on theat
no
7 times in a row?
ok that's 70%^7
yes
and their enty proc'd 7 times
its 0.02% chance to proc 7 in the same time
wait
it's 8.2% btw



you nerd
stop doing Calc
now tell me whats the chance of a rusher not rushing at all
daga kotowaru


i think i messed up
70% is high enough that procing every time isn't super unreasonable

I got 3x +1 but nobody kept going and 5 minutes left
fuck it
hope I can at least make up for missing the second fight this season 
Just don't let enty proc

Also I like this torp meme comp better with FDG
Has more pressure

last time I tried that I was about 4 seconds too late
trump with his new names kek
last time I tried that I was about 4 seconds too late
i just got lucky on last match tbh
got a kms meme fleet

if its anything decent p sure ill be late
can my rushers move 
if you try hard enough, the rushers on your list don't even get far enough to get you a bonus point
you mean get lucky enough with sand bagging 
my rightmost just rushed and now he's 32 points up rip

Should I deposit my hopes in the first two?
I feel like pressing the refresh button would be for the best
Kazuman rushes most of the time
Edwarzo sandbags sometimes but othertimes he pushes early
Thanks, I'll wait then
I already got my first bonus this reset
And it's not like I'm doing especially good this season
I only use refreshes when my list looks especially bad
your list is cursed already
@crude mortar Yep, I take seeing hooloovoo in my list as a bad omen
btw I thought Edawrzo was a full time sandbagger
He generally is
I always see him moving more or less at the same time as me
He usually ends up top 20 EoS
But he also pushes early randomly
Also tends to push earlier on the final reset
I guess I need to pay more attention
If you're on a good pace, you almost want to get sandbaggers at this point
Since they will always give you a bonus if you wait long enough
While rushers might sit on 5/10 or only use 1 or 2 charges
Well, I don't wait too much because I'm afraid of not finishing all my fights in time
Theres only a few sandbaggers that you should always avoid because they push too late to give you a bonus
Famine and Kamui for example wait till the last minute to finish their runs
And you also push too late to get a bonus most of the time 
Hey, I didn't know keripo still played (and competitively)
I saw Keripo this season but I'm not sure if they're sandbagging
I'm sure they're dragging. I see them near the end of my rush.
Anything is possible in Washington

Would the 406mm AP gun be of any use in PvP?
Or would you just stick with HE if itβs not 457mm
is it me niko pausechamp

All the rushers must have used their ticks last reset
which really annoys me
cause I lost a match this morning cause I forgot I was at 6/10

I bet you can still make top 10 EoS if you keep sandbagging
I'm seriously about to do the 5 fights for this reset without getting any extra points

such is life
I only got a +1 because I rushed my last 4 thinking I was gonna pass out
turns out I'm still awake


nobody on my lists have been moving for the past like 7 hours
Wah 
damn

SO THIS IS THE FEELING OF TORPMEME USER??
HAHAHAHAHA
who the f say ayanami is bad
look dem dmg

damn that dmg tho

Ayanami isn't bad, just like glass cannon
Meh, my Jint/Noshiro are critting for 10k+ already, and that's w Leip buffing them instead
No need for ayatrash
Sometimes the torpteam explodes shit, which is nice and all, but well
Then ofc they do this
Fricken missed like every torp and most barrages
Luckily, NamagiWS is a kek team and Hiryuu just shuts them down np
imagine , erika used old meme torps and see , how this corp still strong 
With black oxy setup, I think torpteams aren't so meme anymore
Still not all that strong though, doesn't really displace anything
Still too RNG to be any better than that for offense, and not really any better than they were before on defense
+10
i imagine peak torp meme is actually good for def
you arent winning on def anyway unless you rng it
and if you troll someone twice, you wasted at least a minute
which might be enough to troll famine

if u want troll someone - just rename nagato to haloist and put pearl 
jintsu on center
@hollow cove juneau is normally best-in-slot in that comp. Any reason u wanna swap her? Also do you have noshiro or Azuma?
you arent winning on def anyway unless you rng it
@alpine summit i really can't relate to this. I don't reset much anymore, but I'd say I still reset like 2 to 4 times a day (so out of 15), that's with namaspite
From a logical standpoint i don't think 20% dmg offense advantage is enough to never lose anyway, given equally strong teams
and how rng the pvp battles are
I don't have noshiro or azuma, just don't wanna stay with a suicidal strategy forever
wait a minute, im reseting 2-4 times a season
suicidal strategy
That's a dramatic way to describe juneau
20% offense dmg buff is surely enough to push matches in your favor, but it still doesn't change how shitty main fleet accuracy is
Looking at you grandma and your snipe miss
Well let's see the potential advantages u have vs me
Full oath vs none
2 rainbow torps vs 2 gold quad mags
HPFCR vs none
dev 25+ azuma vs dev 20 azuma
Any others?
That's presumably why. The oaths are the main difference imo, honestly
So I keep making Juneau return by death until Ara Ara gets to dev 20?
Nope, you swap out Jintsuu
Of course, if you really don't wanna use juneau, just don't 
Your team will be weaker for it, though
What you can try is ayanami for juneau, if you managed to get 2+ black torp sticks from the recent event. Unlikely worth it otherwise.
ayaya its 3-4 trp hit , why they still try using her? 
and equip degen too , oxy + pearl , boiler + black torp , boiler + oxy

Just matched up with famine's comp, and my Azuma and juneau were deleted in the opening wave of torps. Not really a surprise because I've matched up with a couple of black torp comps before with similar outcomes. But it's interesting that I can use juneau lead on old torpmeme comps with no issues 
At least the namaspite torpmeme ones
I didnt even get one black top I missed that event ):
I just need to lvl my Nagato
I was reading a LN when I turned off my alarm while thinking "I'll do my fights after I finish reading this paragraph"
And 3 minutes before the end of the reset I was still at 8/10
idkw but I always screw up during the second week

should I refresh now since the people on my list aren't moving
and hope I get someone who moves
I haven't been getting people who move for the past like 3 days

depending on which server you're on, half the people are probably asleep during this reset
washington
If someone sees me on their list
I can do some fights to give a bonus
just say the word

@empty grove mind changing your fdg to hiryuu for a little bit?
@whole terrace Done
ty
Do I need to lvl anti-air mode for Juneau?
probably not
but it's a blue skill so it's basically free so why not
I'm down to 3/10 and see Hoo on my list (far right)... This a good spot to wait, or should I push on?
why wait?
actually why are u pushing in the first place, do u need to sleep
healthy sleep 
Also is there something i dont know about the teams refreshing? Because famine's team still hasn't changed
u definitely changed it, right famine?
wait what it just changed 
It just takes time as pvp teams dont update right away
'Wait' because I forget how much Hoo moves just before refresh. If they burn through five tickets, they are guaranteed food for me when I get back three hours after refresh.
Yes, sleep π€€
isn't it 15 min?
Then yesterday wasn't my day
hooloovoo didn't move until after I did all my exercises
inb4 he did it on purpose because he knew he was in my list

Alright you can change hiryuu back to fdg when you like. Iβm kinda tired and went overboard testing, so iβll share what i found tomorrow
inb4 he did it on purpose because he knew he was in my list
you can blame my ded list for that
im not moving if they dont move 
idk if dis game is just full of shit or the advice i see here is full of shit but i just fought some tanky ass ykkz and it has rudder equipped
π
tanked an entire naga barrage and barely took 50% hp dmg while staying in the middle the whole time
or just evades almost the entire barrage outright without rudder proc
Maybe your Nagato is blind
yea bs
questioning rng is a losing battle
Get your Nagato to borrow WS's glasses
haloist is luckiest azur lane player in the universe

rudder ykkz 

(I should have not checked this right now
)
Thanks @ionic magnet
it doesn't even look good in this picture
Lock-on instead of bracketing 
It's the base cd
Though it's still pretty long 
P much
Only Wakai w/ HPFCR could wield it in a way
Basically makes it quite on the safe timing against PR rudder timing proc even w/ HPFCR ironically
The other being fellow rainbows
Perhaps
Just wait for Yamusashi
Also
Expect for a gold T0 Heccdabber smhw if it's the event of Musashi/Yamato sinking
And expect another Essex to own it, perhaps this time Essex herself keks

hope its farmable
My list doesn't change until I attack someone right
Yea, or if you refresh it

Technically also changes when the season ends/new one begins. Pairing you with whoever else logged in at the same time
didn't someone here name their ships after hooloo, famine etc?
Yup but I forgot who
I've changed my name 3 times so far I wouldn't be surprised if someone had me on their list and was confused when my named changed.
Is Naganami top tier for PvP or is it just a meme 
torp meme is torp meme 
Not top tier but good enough to not be a meme

who even went in the middle before naganami
Ykkz
Just the usual IJN botes I'm guessing 
noshy aya buki?
Noshiro Ibuki Jintsuu probably
Some combination of Noshiro Ibuki Jintsuu and Ykkz
Were the most popular torp memes prior to new torp aux
super duper missile
that pic of 457 vs 460 is so meme
cause we don't know anything of 460 other than that super old leak
so almost all of those stats would be different
8 fights left, maintenance tonight. π€
I missed 2 more fights last reset cause I was visiting family
bring small brain
guess I'll just rush the rest of the season
I was wondering where the 460 image came from
team emblem or rudder for hiryuu
What backline are you using?
I'm making a namaryuu defence fleet
Use rudder on hiryuu and beaver on nagato
If its strictly for defense then I'd go Rudder+VH armor
oh then what does amagi get
and why badge on nagato specifically
Oh keks
Wanna said Rudder VH but got said by roomy keks
Personally for my wife I preferred Rudder HPFCR tbh
For fast timing
Badge on Nugget
Koz she's flag
Less chance of being enemy Wakai focus target early on
basically the 5 eva difference?
I'm used to putting beaver on nagato because its a suboptimal equip to use on non-flag for offense
Rudder + Beaver is probably better on amagi on defense
But you lose more from not having the hit from SG or HPFCR on offense
Better rudder + HPFCR
SG better be on someone
Unless u have 457 Wakai
But u explicitly said to use Namaryu
SG is a nice middle ground since it still offers defense and your amagi will hit more often
I have nagato with SG/beaver and amagi with rudder/SG
is this good enough for stall tactics
Fot def fleet, sure
Use rudders on all your backline
I still need to use amagi for offense at the same time
But for attack fleet
20% DR on attacker is there for a reason
They're good for stalling people who don't play around the 20s proc and they're a good defense item anyways
Lul fok these 20s RNG of rudder proc smhw
Rudder + SG is a good balance for offense and defense
Anyway how tf Howe went in a PVP fleet?
Howe comps are still pretty untested in EN
P much
So kinda doubt she'll do better than any of our current shit tbh
Either that she's nice
Or she's conditional enuff to not be used regularly
well rushing worked https://puu.sh/Gmcft/736568cb3c.png

not that I'm holding that but kinda funny
You at 0/10?
fwiw if you didn't miss those 4 fights then you'd be on pretty good pace for r1 EoS
ye I was getting some really good sandbags
but just messed up
I'll try for EoS rank next season
if washington boys see me on your list just tell and I can rush 

So many rushers here in washington, if only there were sandbaggers to take advantage of this 
Real rushers would eat the +9 with pride
I'll be back to sandbagging next season anyways 
rushing to use all ur charges ofc 
yes
I thought hoo is june
oathed jun for hooloo

he keep bugging me
to oath jun
so i oathed jun

for him
im now in the process of getting hiryuu to 200, while she is already level 120
@_@
brief rant: i am so. fkn. sick. of namaspite. there's no variety. no originality. just a new bunch of chucklefucks each day with their 120 namaspites. GOOD FOR YOU, YOU HAVE THE "GOOD" TEAM.
every fkn opponent is namaspite with yuki juneau azuma
Is this a copypasta?
it is now i guess

oh wait: this one has noshiro instead of azuma. variety!
i'm fine with fdg. at least it's different.
Imagine blaming Namaspite
i'm blaming namaspite for boring me to tears
SHINE
don't misinterpret me. it's not that i'm mad i can't beat namaspite. i'm just sick of seeing it.
Yer too new boi
warkai on def isn't too big of a threat. Imagine expecting variety when these ships are still too good

Also imagine using Nugget on attacker when u basically went like what
intrepid t0 
and ya warspite isn't super huge on defense I feel
Obviously
Keks
the goal of a def fleet is not to win, it's to stall them past one minute of fighting
Just Nugget being so derp on Def keks
im doing fine vs everything without warspite
the goal of a def fleet is memery. change my mind.
just use Izumo to counter Warkai 
what esport

wym doubt 
does this count as esport 

@vague token yer alive
I don't bother doing that anymore
timing 3 CVs is so meme
Don't CV comps use cudas?
Also kanzaki so boomer keks
Don't CV comps use cudas?
@karmic forum unless thy name is Hiryuu on Namaryuu
@crude mortar not yet on ur 120 Namagi?
Meh
apparently purple equips will be only +11
nagato just hit 120 yesterday
helldivers will still do the most surface damage even at +11
but if BTDs get more crash damage from the 2 extra levels
I saw gold +13
they'll be better I'd say
isn't it
Expect T0 gold Heccdabbers lel
helldivers aren't gold
There will be an argument for using gold bombers in PvP because they're faster
We got VF-17 of Bunker and VT-18 and Intrepid already
at least how it's currently setup
I see yer now ouiaboo as well 255
Gold bombers were always faster but most people still ran helldivers because the damage difference was too much
reset and you get esport
Now that they're buffing damage it's a discussion worth having again
after +13, the only gold dive bomber that gets close to helldiver
is BTD
everything else is still trash

imagine not nuking Azuma in the 1st salvo 
+13 π ±οΈ arracuda
People ran btd over helldivers in Akaga meta because you wanted to launch faster for example
+13 GOLD CATAPULT!!!111
From historical reasons

MORE AVIATION
Like what
MORE PLANE π ±οΈ ARRAGE DAMAGE
which has more crash tho
helldivers or BTD
Even the other T0 gold from US is like what
wiping whole fleet with one air strike
Used to be T3 purple
Someone wiki that
BTD actually has more crash damage 
with +13 I think BTD would unironically just be straight up better than helldivers
Yeah
it's not a huge speed increase but equal damage and more crash
wait for the wyvern
And expect that to be alongside 460 triple
I meant
VB-15 of Essex
Did happen to sink Musashi smhw
Just Cuda if u wanna crash dmg smhw
Also bombercuda pls
Not a heccdabber pleb pls, so meh
gotta squeeze that crash damage

wait guys
fairey barracuda
the dive bomber
has same crash as TB barracuda
super crash meme time? pausechamp ?
someone say crash memes

formi/hiryuu
rich/formi/hiryuu
Considering CVL demerit less than CV lel
U wanna make some spread w/ the damage?
But yeah
Hiryuu on Wakai focus
She'd still be the last woman standing keks
honestly I use fdg as my warkai tank
just slap SG/rudder on her and she has so much hp/heavy armor that she kinda just beasts through it
fdg tank - +10
dead server 
Always has been 

Alright finally hereβs my thoughts on the black torp teams after finding famineβs team
Namaryuu variant is stronger than Namagi FDG variant, on defence (Namaryuu nosh jun yuki went 9-1 against Namagi FDG, and 7-3 against Namaryuu)
Namaspite struggles more than Namaryuu on offence against this comp (6-4 vs 8-2, same vg)
Noshiro jun yuki is stronger than Azuma jun yuki against this comp, but not by much (7-3 vs 5-5, Namaryuu backline. My Azuma is dev 20)
Yukikaze is still an excellent vanguard staller. (see videos)
Most impactful counters are, listed in order:
1. to put jun in the middle and put a bulge on her. Bulges on other vgβs makes little to no difference in win rate.
2. to run Namaryuu
3. to run Nosh jun yuki or Nosh jun Azuma (gotta be dev 25+ to be worth it)
Videos of last three fights:
https://streamable.com/6pfgsh Namaryuu nosh jun yuki vs Namagi FDG: 9-1 overall
https://streamable.com/5fes8q Namaspite Azuma jun yuki vs Namagi FDG: 6-4 overall
https://streamable.com/piuj7c Namaryuu nosh jun yuki vs Namaryuu: 7-3 overall
Not at all if you have bulge on juneau
sometimes
always
usually yukikaze stalls the vg fight
in the second video my yukikaze dies last in my vg every time
stonks
its up
lmao that was a very selective screenshot
same battle


nah amagi was on the bottom, she died to warkai snipe
~~I swear new amagi skin makes her stay up for a second longer after dying
~~
im so sure naganami skin gonna sell alot

skunk meme is real
π€’
Keks Suisai's skunk smhw being there lel
Also @empty grove u not putting FDG Amagi Hiryuu + putting up a torpmeme? Thats so not Famine that I kinda know tbh

Well Namaspite does fairly badly against the Namaryuu black torp team because it has much lower vg pressure than Namaryuu, and it doesn't have Hiryuu to counter the frontloaded damage
I'd expect ws amagi fdg to have the same issues
Vysaga said the CN testers got 60% win rate with Namaspite vs Namaryuu + black torps iirc, which is pretty awful for them, but believable
eh i tested namaspite vs that exact same famine comp
mostly got 70-80% winrate on varying VGs
was it namagi fdg though?
it was namaryuu
azuma tank (rudder+bulge) noshiro mid (pearl+boiler) jun rear (2x boiler) worked best so far
tho i messed up and didnt get to test the usual ykkz jun + X VGs 
i will test namaryuu on offense next time
but its safe to say that namaspite is not bad at all vs that torp meme
ah that's better than i'd expect
that's an interesting vg setup, sounds good
70% using a vg that specifically counters it is pretty bad tho
is it really a counter if the only thing that is different is torp bulge on azuma
and azuma noshi jun
its not like it suddenly cant handle other meta defense
yea i thought of that before too
but no its not a problem at all
jun rear with noshiro mid and carrying pearl will be worse against other teams. Juneau's gonna live long
no cos if youre not against torp memes
you put jun lead
it seems like more ppl are making torp memes too
i'm not a big fan of that setup, doesn't sound like it can stall the vg fight well against torp memes. And vg is fairly slow against regular teams, loses the backline dmg red and heal. If it works for you, fair enough.
Don't think it would work well for a f2p pleb like me though
will try it once i get dev 25 azuma
Most of the torp memes popping up aren't using 2 black torps atm
well if your azuma is not atleat d25 then yea you'd prolly get a different result
Do u think it would work better than yukikaze there?
Azuma for yuki
need to try it first ig
cos ive seen ykkz get instakilled by torpmemes
its rare but idk if its better than just making azuma tank
Trading azuma for yuki is trading a better frontal tank and higer damage for less chance of a backliner disappearing early, a better 'staller' and a faster vg
Idk which is better
The torp comp is strong enough for most people to need some sort of counter
any trp comp is overrated 
Might be worth adding onto the meme
Tell me if you get my comp & i'll play around with amagi positioning
None of the collab skins made it back
||I wouldn't have been able to buy them anyway||
washi 



stonks
What's the best fleet without juneau
Because I absolutely do not want to raise a blue ship that's useless outside pvp
good , what dev lvl azuma?
only 22 right now π¦
could be good a rework of pvp
15 would be awful
you could get a group of 4 people who are rushers that went to 0/15
and that go for healthy sleep
or you could get people who will go to 0/15
you know what will revolutionize PvP? REMOVE reset
have a leaderboard for total pvp points a guild has
at the end of the season give the top 3 guilds gems 
let us manual?
no
Sumire moves early enough but I guess you'd rather fish for +2s
Shiburin also tends to move earlier this season
why not just refresh it
I prefer to fish for an earlier +1
right, being ahead 
as long as you refresh the list before the new 5 ticks, you are guaranteed to get people who have at least 5 ticks
season has been pretty shit this time around
The problem is that fewer people will move right now since a lot of them are sitting on 0/10
My few resets of rushing wasn't that bad, but the first 4 days were not that great
And they only use 2 or 3 charges
And you get screwed because you were hoping they would use all 5
Not worth losing sleep over pre-gensui period anyways
If I attack a guy who's 19 points under me will I get a +9 or negative points?
Dear Diary: Today I saw Taihou in a top 100 fleet that wasn't really trying to be a meme 
You'd get +9
Got +10 actually. Made it back to 1 after rushing this one for the sole purpose of getting some h e a l t h y s l e e p
So annoying.
I swear to god Hiryuu is the only shipgirl that deserves to be punched straight in the face.
wait until you attempt the 'camp in aotn' strat so you get +9 on every attempt until you're eventually yeeted
The trick is to stagger w other ppl to block out the casuals 
Nah I'll just wait like 8 hours until someone on my list gives me like a +12 or something 

Wait so do you use all 10 when you get them? Is it bad to be 0/10? I'm confused
if you use all 10 you're just being a rusher
I'm doing that cause I missed 4 attacks this season so I can't really get a good EoS rank
EoS 
roomier is, i think
you rite




I see that skunk on hooloo
Skunk
I'm like 16 points behind those guys but 2/10 
Yes
lol +1 match missed
for a total of, what, 8 or 9 now this season? 
This fleet is annoying
And seems juneau use bulge because her cant one hit with ibuki
theres a reason its called torp meme
Well i cant one hit juneau tho
it would seem that modernization is a big upgrade 
did you think it wouldn't?
What's the purpose of SG radar on Amagi and Nagato?
i mean ngl she was preeeeety lackluster b4 modernization
so was sandy and look where she ended up
@shell heron Did you get a +1?
you were my 2nd last match so no
but your hiryuu did tank my warspite for 2 matches I gave up
was running out of time
I'm glad my defense works at least
I wonder if my def fleet annoyed people
Although I'm mainly targetting torpmeme users
I mean you could always just go
warspite first barrage miss > insta reset
save yourself 30s to see the rest of the battle that might not even go well

Just send torps to the backline they'll die fast ez
noshiro is pretty much superior to jintsuu in every aspect, right?
