:azumaarson:
I don't think I've seen any triple black torp teams on amagi at all personally
none of us were smart enough to farm them during the event

also no noshiro yet
They are starting to get more and more common in avrora
But still not common enough to stop doing PvP


2 wyvern on his MF ? Damn, people already get 2 wyvern 
Lucc saccs that deserve burning at the stake
🔥
doesn't leon have 2 wyverns
rate my 10/10 vanguard 
Who is leon ?
That is from sandy server btw.
Me out here getting everything except plane prints 
he's from avrora and usually in this chat. He's like cmd level 98
3 BB gang assemble
6 gyro for cv lovers 
What does gyro do?
Rudder backline 
gyro adds hit stat
It gives speed for backline 
I got bumped down to 140th place at EOS score 
Highest points I’ve ever finished 
@zenith tundra nobody update tierlist on pin? 
It’s been dead for a while 
no
wait you're that guy that runs shinano hiryuu enty

I've had a few times where I had to reset because rng
its works 
idk who might be working on it. i only came back to al 1 month ago
I literally have nothing better than enty 
I've been using enty for a long time, but I finally decided to swap her out with hiryuu 
Did u lose already 
is that stalled into next season?
manju helena help 
Oh I see
YESN'T
Lol rip
first time someone instantly moved after refresh and didn't afk their pvps
I'm so happy
you know ur list is generated when you login after season reset right? if you login like 1 min after reset u have like 95% chances of finding rushers in list
yea I know, but I still get stuck behind people at the start usually
lots of low level people who just lose their fights too
No, i need 5x to kill thats black dildo fleet.
oh what server is that?
amagi
ok makes sense i guess
Black torp in amagi 
Oh. Haha
RNG is a bitch to you lol
Always has been
🧑🚀 
Time to repeat the pain all over again... I mean, join rush lane
I got 3rd in WA, and I had an awful start last season 
how come is this team so good at wrecking my backline before my first airstrike ?
Perseus 2xpreload remove your CV's stealth, warspite goes pewpew on ur backline
Use wnt and someone to soak warspites initial shot, the rest will fold to your carriers
Hiryuu soaks fine btw
nakaga and zero problem
And since QE+Warkai you can also just Shinano tank it probably

Ppl still think that wnt alone can stop a proper black teatorp team
helena can tank first wave 
problem with suzuki+yuki team with eva shinano buff
and this triple have ihr +13

just reset
Yeah I wish my ships will just proc manjuu and tank
But no they have to expose the ones without manjuu and killing them
Leaving the one with manjuu alive
u find another guy , but with yuki azuma juneau with that shit

no not refresh

But yeah thanks to you this week i can sleep well. Coz i dont need sandbagging for next 2 weeks. 
I just laugh why so salty? :)

What's gacha without salt?
Solitaire without an undo button.
what makes hiryuu good pivk in pvp
Basically final counter
She gets an extra free strike from it then probably a second strike given it lasts 15 s
PvP matches are usually under a minute (or like, she's what usually stretches them beyond one min lol) so most CV get off 2, maybe 3 strikes launches, she gets off four
And if dmg incoming is even (which it usually is end-heavy so even more) then her immunity is effectively at least -20% dmg taken
On top of that ofc she's IJN so gets Shinano/Nagato buffs, and help activates Shinano buff
Meh
The limitation is that her plane loadout and base stats are merely okay rather than anything broken about it
Also she does nothing else
Just use Enty for infinite air strikes.
Enty actually is fairly poor matchup vs Final Counter usually since it usually hits when her immunity is down
Use Manjuu Enty 
Then she just dies cause Manjuu
Hiryuu stays alive after FC until you actually hit her
Manjuu = ded
Or like if you Manjuu in response to FC do you even outlast FC immunity lol
And then you need to also hit her before Manjuu ends
Anyways Enty actually fairly okay in current meta if you can't reliably win anyways

Tho honestly Helena proc Nano/Hiryuu hits harder than 3 USN CV
Been playing around w anti airstrike tech on Azuma and she still dies like 15% ish of the time
Owarida hits harder


In any case as defense comps optimize themselves more it seems like even the best set-up offense will have issues reaching 90+% WR vs the most troublesome def comps
Yes use manjuu enty so I can get free wins
Nanoryuu Helena actually works on def if you set it up right and ofc new HMS blacktorpmemes is extra cancer torpmemes
ill just use both manjuu enty and hiryuu 
What's your ideal setup for Helena Blue?
The guy I was testing vs ran Nanoryuu Juneau Helena Azuma and also tried Helena Azuma Juneau
Couldn't really tell the diff, both hit really hard when Helena proc
While Helena/Jun always died for him, if Helena proc and then vanguard trades out, the extra dmg on my main from helena proc means he often wins the hiryuu duel
Ofc if Helena no proc is ez win basically
818 Hiryuu btw
What about Aux equipment? Boiler + rudder or radar + rudder you think?
Manjuu Helena ofc
Manjuu Pearl probably
If she's the centerpiece of the comp ya gotta get her radar off
Ye is no good on offense since 40% for team to be awful
And lots of frustration vs torp comps probably
Usually I find myself getting 1 radar scan from opposing Helenas. They don't live long enough with manjuu to get the second
Helena can die before 1st scan without Manjuu
Esp vs torpmemes
Is bigger risk than early Jun death really
Hmmm
40% chance to do nothing 
Legend has it, Helena will always proc if one combines it with the Owarida.
what is the manjuu gear?
so it's a weakened version of hiryuu's final counter?
Nice flexing
Much weaker
Full Drake 
free win
Full rainbow oath 
But when u combine with Jesus, it makes her infinitely more useful than Hiryuu will ever be lol
I'm surprised that only took 30s
shinagaryu hell 
not sure how its even possible but i just had a match where enemy eldridge was last ship standing while i still had hiryuu + nano, and she managed to evade every single bomb WITHOUT OP RAINBOW from 2-3 subsequent airstrikes until she got hit by 1 for 1k dmg
thx for letting defense cheat with bs rng now pls go fk off 
doubt
even ykkz cant straight up evade every bomb
for 2-3 airstrikes
that's exactly what she does
*subject to RNG ofc but is favorable
literally
one half HP vg
can solo both Hiryuu and Nano if it does any dmg at all
like maybe 30% of the time
so annoying
2-3 airstrikes is pushing limits
cvs just such ass at defending themselves
I've seen more
if you want ykkz
I've seen her survive 4
ykkz is understandable cuz she has a further layer of rng protection
but eldridge? without op rainbow?
naw as in literally takes no dmg
add slow spd onto that
so u also cant outrun bombs
thats just absolute dogshit rng if it happened
what team btw
standard nanoryuu team
mics or nah?
no mics
without mics you have like 40% ish hitrate pretty sure
and even w eld's movement phys hitrate is probably like 60%
40% missing this many times is just sus af
literally isn't though
and my airstrikes have staggered timing
so even if she had rudder procs she cant rely on it
I assume Nagato btw, right?
ya
its just an extreme outlier that somehow happened
sub 30% if they run Shinano for +15% DD eva
but it just pisses me off
nah it wasnt any meta backline
thats how forgettable it was
thats why im surprised it even got to that state
that's why you mics
but also
tf is your vanguard running
unoathed ships take too long to launch i aint risking avgas for mics
jun azuma helena
there's your problem
tbf unoathed vs meta stuff that's not a bad choice
but if Helena doesn't proc and you get unfavorable RNG you get shit like this
if you want to afk PvP stuff I'd not rec Helena offense
shes there to lvl anyway so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
ah yes the good ole "I gimped my team why do I lose vs shit I shouldn't"
idk if actually sarcastic but i deal with meta fleets decently
i dont mind if i reset like i said
what i complain about are those that are unexpected losses
or are close matches that have no reason being that close in the first place
PvP is not so loose you can play half a ship down without issue even vs nonmeta good teams
also it's possible you actually faced semimeta team, there's a surprisingly large amt of teams rn that do okay on def esp if you aren't running literal top meta
true but there are certain fleets that just straightup dont have such capabilities unless they get some outlier rng like what happened
that's not really that outlier though
is what I'm telling ya
that literally is why vanguard fight is so important
then we just gotta agree to disagree cuz from all my pvp matches none have gotten this close with offmeta
push any vanguard through and it's almost impossible to kill in timely manner if Nagato is dead
have faced countless eldridge comps
properly gearly non-meta is generally more dangerous than badly geared meta fleets. and most people don't know how to gear their fleets
3 USN CV helena eld for example is one that's pretty legit on def
roll enough on helena proc+ lucky E+Eld+etc and opposite vanguard dies, then you win cause Nano and Hiryuu sux at dealing with vanguards
not actually much worse on def than standard vs top standard
also that too, idk if there's even 50 ppl who properly gear a meta/semimeta def team
doesnt that just support my argument that its an outlier
its even lower odds that it was properly geared
conditional probability. if your fight ends up being close, it's more likely they were better set up
and you could probably have known
i consider them the same given the thousands of matches we've all done
its reasonable
then literally any loss with any decent team is outlier period
cause 90% of def even at top ranks gensui rush are garbo
but i just said its a forgettable comp
if it was decent i would at least rmb the backline
literally everything forgettable
cause not like ppl gear meta properly anyways
if you see a meta comp is like 80% at least that it's not geared properly
i make sure i dont look away if it was nanoryuu defense just saying
i had time to look away from this
idk I strongly sus that the comp you faced is actually fairly legit on def, you just didn't notice
#TeamMic
most of the ppl running Eld that I've seen are running either standard team around her or one of the new jank USN comps
cause not like most ppl would bother to run her in first place
well i'll just keep a lookout for such fleets again then
eldridge can straight up negate your airstrikes so you shouldn't look away from those
and i know that, which is what made it more frustrating, given if it was a proper backline i wouldve been more cautious
ye unless they literally have no dmg or something a 120 eld is by herself basically as swingy as torpmemes is
with just lower chance and doesn't work vs more comps
I'm just pretty sure their main is more legit than you realized
otherwise your VG wouldn't be dead
i can tell u for sure if i didnt notice it and wasnt prepared to reset and lost that match i wouldve raged my ass off
maybe they were, but if they were so op how are both nano and ryuu alive
then idk bruh
that eldridge was just a 1k bomb away from dying
even had pearls tears who healed no one
how many 1k bombs do you launch in first place
1k dmg i mean
bruh she took a hit from 1 bomb and it was 1k
oh wait ye Eld has the usual DD shit AA
even then though, does it reach 1k dmg without stealth
no idea mightve been a crit but i was too busy raging to notice
ye 1k seems about right for larger bombs I think
anyways the thing is
between bombs not even launching half the time at point blank
and phys hitrate being garbo
and your eva hitrate being extra garbo
every bomb only have like 10% to do dmg vs her lol
using 15 bomb/strike avg is like 20% to completely whiff a strike
all of naga shots would be on enemy vg
I am on the fence on whether to use juneau (with hydraulic steering gear), helena (with eagle Elite Damage control/manjuu) and yuki or using sandy instead of helena in PVP. I am not lategame player or a tryhard, but I still want the best team for what I have
People tend to shit on Helena in PVP while the other half talk about how it is very viable but I'm not sure which does better with my current ships
Helena is great on def or when your team isn't quite up to par with enemy one
Sandy is kinda like that but a bit better specifically vs CV teams, especially if you run CV team yourself
hard to say unless we know what else you're working with
both sound reasonable for that but I'd consider if you can slot something better in warspite's spot
I'd probably take Helena since is good more often for your team
since it's not just CV teams that you'll have trouble vs
she already works well enough on nanoryuu comps even with no procs (cuz she has decent aa) so i dont have a problem with it
anyways problem with warspite right now is that any main fleet ship worth focusing down with her is stealthed 
So I am between juneau manjuu + sandy hydro or helena manjuu + juneau hydro
and I thought warkai was great for pvp 
shes my only lv 115
my only PR is roon and dev 15 monarch
she got slapped in the face with the new mechanic introduced last december
CV stealth
directly so since CV stealth = can't target
- indirectly so since CV meta now and the BB teams she still works well vs aren't so popular anymore
so should I make a full cv team now? I have formi
sandy hydro or helena manjuu + juneau hydro
?
the gold hydraulic thing that gives you evasion every 20 secs
you use that mostly cause +40 evasion
"enhanced hydraulic steering" usually called rudder
cause hydraulic is confusing with hydraulic catapult for CV
only shinagaryuu have chances to win or def , other 3 cv only meme fleet . nakaga with sirius + juneau = ez win
but it doesnt even have rudder in the name
WS can be somewhat redeemable with Perseus and another HMS BB (Howe, QE, or DoY). You can snipe off Shinanos who lack evasion equipment or Amagi buff.
wait
what when did these ships come into the convo
lel its localisation
EN localization changes their mind like every 2 month I swear
oh lmfao
can never rely on gears keeping their name
anyways given your situation some RNG is unavoidable, and the potential boost Helena provides is too big to ignore
Alright guess I'm moving back to helena with aux instead of sandy again

What about warspite switch?
for that team you'd probably want a third CV, or PoW?
Prince of Wales, untested
prisoner of war
Here I'll show the current PVP team for easier reference
anyways PoW buffed skill is pretty interesting for a high USN count comp
for now though keep warkai cause much higher level
ship level matters more in PvP than in PvE, where it already matters a ton
yeah, thanks for helping instead of being a damn elitist
PvE is "+10 levels above map and I can run anything not complete garbage" vs "-10 levels below map and even the very best setups will have a hard time"
PvP on top of PvE effects also has increasing HP multiplier with ship level
dang, I don't remember it having even more level stuff
SG radar and manjuu on helena is ok right
well aside from the usual ship stats/+2% dmg dealt per level diff/-2% dmg taken per level diff/+0.1% hitrate/+0.1% evasion rate (roughly adding up to a bit under 5% more dmg dealt and 5% more survivability) you also get 1.2% more HP multiplier per ship level in PvP (multiplier of 90%+1.2%*ship level)
jesus
ye sounds fine
I thought I had prince of wales, isn't she an elite
Super Rare
oof
so hiryuu enty and warkai is the best I can do, since I don't have PoW
Also a 102 formi
well she's in a lot of the exchange tickets for special holidays so was thinking maybe you had her
nbd rn
she's pretty strong in PvE but I don't see her in PvP like at all
not sure if not really anyone testing her (she tbf was complete garbage everywhere a few months ago) or if she just doesn't work out too well
as I said for now care the most about ship level
ok so i managed to fight another eldridge vg (tho on sandy instead of lex), and even tho eldridge + naganami managed to break through my vg again, within my 1st airstrike, BOTH dd died (but eldridge had manjuu so shes doomed to die in 8s anyway)
its stuff like this that makes me question rng
aside from the immortality. what makes hiryuu so viable in pvp?
🇫
I don't remember when I joined but it wasn't during those events
somewhere near the one with heinrich or before, I dunno
thats kinda recent tho and u already got ykkz 
nanoda
Ykkz actually doesn't do as well as she used to now
At least on offense
Low AA problems 
ykkz only works on defense cuz rng ¯_(ツ)_/¯
it seems most of the PVP metas are all event limited 
if problem to caught enemy - 818 help
Suzu-Azuma would be better
You mean "azuma just blast this comp sometimes"
rng if azuma wont catch shinano bombs
She catch them and is perfectly fine
Just absorb it all
Also she has like 40% evarate vs Nano
Almost 50% if no mic pretty sure

Heck
If you set her up well
On offense
She can survive a full set of Helena boosted Nano bombs
manjuu helena 
And if you want to feel pain
Run low speed comp vs Azuma
Eat all her salvos and suffer
might as well just torpmeme if u gonna preload snipe 
French is another interesting one ye as meta become more CV focused
But ye that's the issue mainly
Torps kinda just do it better
Still glad I've only seen two other ppl run proper HMS torpcomp
At this pt I'm pretty sure it's since most ppl don't have the equipment
HMS torpcomp on def makes a quite convincing statement
Hmm yes you didn't need these ships anyways right, imma just delete them now
🤔
I run proper 533mk9 Defense, other than one set being +12, the rest +13.
would be worth using in perseus ws fdg
Additive ye
beacon only affects her 40s airstrike, and only a tiny tiny bit
generally not worth it
oh ok so trash
She goes from 190% load time to 186%
In WA, the usual top 100 EoS dosn't seem tor un it very much either. Probably mainly me.
So 
And maybe 2 other guys?
Same in Avrora, is me and like two other guys
One who isn't even oathed on all
Team still nukes though
Instant ded Nagato and like 10% HP Nano
I dunno if ppl are trying to avoid being douchebags by not running them, or simply they don't have triple black dildos.
i only have 2 myself 😦
if nagato dies you can skill win tbh. if shinano dies is a reset
🤔
Nagato ded just means you can't also lose vanguard fight at all
More like 60% for me
imo still standard defense is much harder then torp. like i reset 3 times vs forbs fleet and still couldn't beat it vs torp where 1-2 fast resets and you get good rng
If you guessed 2
Yep, pretty often
CV shit at dealing with stuff in their face
Well either way, whoever has their VG die first is gonna lose too
And torp meme can delete VG as well
nerf torpmemes
I haven't needed more than 1 reset vs anyone outside of testing
And so far have seen nothing particularly low WR
So it's not like, "lol, as long as Shinano lives I'm ok". Won't mean shit if ur VG dies and their Vg is on ur face
For standard offense
Well
That's not what he said
He said if Nano lives you have a chance to win
If Nano ded you lose almost always since can't kill their vg
Heck you can't even break their stealth anymore
Torp meme won't be nerfed, not at least directly. Either something better will be released as another alternative to meme with, or something will come along to counter torp meme better with.
Either way, I wanna see more torp meme being ran in WA 
all i said is if nagato dies you can win. if a cv dies u lose. about vg i just run noshiro sacrifice. if she dies whatever
Hiryuu proc can be fine too
Or like
When I ran offense torpmemes
Hiryuu proc idk if even good thing
Cause then your vanguard is 100% wiped at 20 s strike
even so torp are fast reset and lots of rng. when a standard comp just wrecks you every match you won't beat with standard ever
Or maybe even before if shit RNG on Azuma/Nagato shot/barrage
Ye standard comp walls much better
idk man ive yet to see any torpmemes get rekt before 20s by naga+azuma even with barrage procs
But w good enough comp you can almost afk vs it
well it's gear difference for me
Hiryuu proc, lands 818, then azuma lands shots 
lel u pray
Even worse if 10 s Naganami causes the proc
Then 818 lands into Azuma shots+barrage and Nagato shots+Barrage
if im ever that lucky to land a single 818
Positioning
do vg torp hit top ever or it's just rng. i very rarely see that
Aside from usual RNG def lands 818 easier
Opening torps seems about same
10 Nagnami launch or later I think favor hitting bottom but hard to say
Btw that time I almost lost Nano on offense
Nano top
Also, it's not ur guarantee to kill torp meme before 20s is up. They're reasonably survivable, and that only improves if they manage to take out major sources of DPs on first nuke attack.
Yep
But is RNG after all
Hence my attempt at Leip to make 20s survival more likely
It kindaish worked but still not too consistent
i don't think i reset to a torp comp that wasn't already decided within the 1st 15s
thats why its so bloody broken nerf it nao
Well
Is surprising how much you win vs torps when it's already "decided"
Torps often look like have more advantage than they do, imo
by decided i mean losing shinano or my vg getting deleted fast. if those things not happen is pretty consistent win
VG half ded is one of those situations
Since you should never actually fully lose VG
Then it's just if they lose vg at 20 s strikes
I wonder why is it that the top position CV always take less damage than bottom does.
My current thinking is that the torpedoes tend to hit towards the bottom of the screen or something
parallel torp always tend to hit bottom of the screen over top in pvp
Well, it seems to work out. I never put Shinano top for any tactical advantage or anything, but I think it works for the best
And everyone also seems to do it like that as well
i use hiryuu top. just in case it comes down to hiryuu vs hiryuu i prefer making sure my hiryuu is the one taking less damage
It usually never comes down to that for me, and Shinano does the most damage anyway
Might as well make sure she stays up the longest
definitely not pvp specific
any good uss comps out there?
PoW enty essex seattle helena juneau
im pretty sure
dont quote me on that though
i see ty
Y not
Should quote him on that, and hold him accountable
Well this is awkward
I still have 2 battles to expend...
And i won't wake up in time for the other reset

Do i just accept 2 +9
Better than +0 for missing a battle maybe


Doing two is better than not doing two 
Well
Torps are extremely RNG
But if not mag HMS then ye
14929 power looks around correct, but for full oath is like ~50 pt min too low
Probably not +13 on torps yet at minimum

that comp not trash - but they have black torp so if u haloisted - died

14929 power looks around correct, but for full oath is like ~50 pt min too low
Probably not +13 on torps yet at minimum
this isn't even its final form
for pvp, whats better, Blackburn Firecrest or Barracuda?
barracuda
@elder crane Got a left field question for you, does the core SBD's (McCluskey) buff apply to crash damage as well? And does the buff apply to that plane only or all the planes that are on that ship?
it should and only planes on that ship
I don't think they were running optimal HMS not because I won, but because the spread on a set of torps was super wide
So probably something was swapped
Ye a lot of ppl run 1 rainbow mag
Esp on Naganami
Which honestly did surprise me, that even without mag effect on 10 s launch, HMS quints are very clearly better on her
If they did tho that means the fleet power is really low
The number of black dildos is probably the limiting factor on 3 HMS torp vs 2 HMS and homing
Do they do so because they lack a third Dildo, or because they think it's tactically better to run one set of quints? 🤔
The problem with quint mags is the dmg per torp is considerably less.
Who knows
Those who lacc are slacc
Otherwise they just bad
And no the issue isn't dmg per torp, you just don't have the sniping potential
Otherwise Naganami would've run quad 610s with blacktorp way back when but that just works much worse than quint mags
I think issue is damage per torp, and total alpha damage. 172 base over 145. I wouldn't compare to quad 610's cuz they got less overall torps. Either way, they feel like they sorta tickle for the most part when they do hit lol
Have yet to see proper 3x magnetized 533mk9's in WA 
I'm telling ya
quint fan doesn't really hit harder than quad fan if same dmg per torp
just more likely to hit
HMS advantage is mostly about the tight spread, the extra total alpha is just a bonus
I'd say the extra total alpha is the main thing, spread second :v
go do the team with USN quints then smh
I guarantee you it'll be shit despite being almost same total alpha
or like
Lemme do the team with fricken HMS quads
it'll still kinda work, almost certainly better than with mags/610s
That and also
Why does the team work on offense better than 610/mags when I gimped torp dmg by running Leip instead
Less total torp dmg but still killed shit better
exactly as I expected
With HMS quads:
Match #3 did both
Match #5
With 610/rainbow mags:
In 10 matches did not snipe main once
Closest two:
Double crit on first
Crit + 2 torps and a miss on second
No main below half HP in other 8
@light crystal
I'm telling ya spread is much more important than total alpha
Quad HMS > quad 610s as shown here despite almost 20% less alpha and less range
Is it worth running a fighter on shinano or is double torp bomber still GG?
But, not quint 610s
I've never advocated against 533mk9's in favor of quad 610mms lol
I prefer running fighter if opp has multiple carriers of their own, otherwise cuda wyvern
I honestly can't tell. I've ran both Fighter and double TB, and I've settled with Cuda/Wyvern on Shinano for now lol
I don't see the diff 🤷
quad HMS to quad 610s is what quint HMS is to quint 610s, arguably
and quad HMS much better
clearly pattern matters much more in HMS torps being much better, otherwise quad HMS wouldn't be clearly better
The difference is in that 533mk9's not only have the sniping spread, but also the superior alpha, so no use in comparing against quad 610's. But with Shima torps, there would at least be a difference. Would have to wait n see.
this isn't quint vs quad
this quad vs quad
quad HMS torps, the purple ones
these do better than quad 610s
Oh the purple ones
despite 4x172 vs 208 alpha and 20 less torp stat
and it's disgusting that even these can still snipe enemy main at only +10
it does do noticeably worse vs vanguard though
wait bluerendar when are u doing your exercises
don't really have a fixed schedule
just when I check and see a bonus/feel like doing some (or usually at least once a season, forget
)
are u done moving now 
no gimme another hour or maybe two or maybe three
still 7/10
or maybe never and I miss 2
was actually 80 with 11
? what's your seasonal score rn
Collusion 
what are u talking about?
i was just wondering about my good friend Bluerendar
and how his pvp season is going


now run away, he found you 
Take it to the collusion server you two
what's the collusion server
amagi 
oh there's more than one
All of the collusion servers, particularly the one where Saber is especially active in

I didn't get the exclusive invite to his server 
its not easy for pleb to get in anyway
@famine let me simp for you

First rule of famine's collusion server, we do not speak of it
Interesting.
NoobAsian, I've literally never asked anyone for points before and you know it
I visit youtuber's discord server like twice a week to check what cool AL things players are up
Meanwhile I've played alone without a guild and all I see is Kanzaki Erika posting memes about me for some odd reason
memes r good

Collusion? In AL? Surely not 

Inb4 PvP becomes an irl economy (you can buy AoTN at a high price)
And the meta will progress to a point where hardware is the sole determining factor in wins (like SSB melee poll rate)


bitcoin meta when
PvP always mined buttcoin
i know a certain someone that does pvp and mines a lot of bitcoin


Debating +'ing these for optimal memery as well.

Dewitt

Is it... ||the entire nation of China||
I plan to +13 Beaver
Cuz in the future, if I plan to run triple CV, I need to put Beaver on VG, as besides the 20% moving speed buff, the closer in stats it is to a Rudder, the better, as it's gonna replace someone's Rudder
Plused Beaver. Also, VG power looking nice 

@elder crane u have second wyvern ye?
Still 8/9 no luck on ports
Soon ™️
lol farm cats
Nice, 3x Core, time to get some Wyvern precursor from Core Shop 

3x core, time to get more shells
to assert dominance 
Clearly, double shell Nagato. Next level strats.
Shells
me and my homies buy rice cooker
what would you put instead of shells? double hit or double evasion gear?
I wouldn't run BB
but yes, more leaning towards hit these days cause CV meta and all
Wnt has more hit than +13 white shell
Hpfcr is fixed
I have four sets of shells but only using three of em
cba to buy any more

Isn't sandy still wanted in a CV heavy environment?
Or seattle
But definitely not helena
🦭
It turns out that Azuma/Nagato still hits pretty hard 
Helena is used to prop up weaker attack team and is a legit defense option
I would say Sandy is still annoying on defense too, but as Helena's sidekick. She helps by stalling stealth a bit longer. (Which is less of a buff than H-radar, but still a buff.)
naw, vs a Sandy/Helena def, worst case both vanguards die, which is usually not unfavorable to offense
I find Jun-Helena-(tanky/troll ship) much more annoying
U calling kms a meme? 
yes
Yes compare to the meta fleets
Fdg could go down with just black torp comps
Let a salvo slip to the back and watch her eat 8k crit per torp
Wtf 

I mean Eugen isn't completely useless in PvP
at least does doesn't instantly die, probably
more than most ships can do
same with opsi too honestly
@distant token got carried to

EOS FTFY
ALMOST CHOKING
GAME FREEZE
IM GLAD I FOUND THIS GUY AT 59:45
FINIS HTE FIGHT AT 59:58
MY GAME FREEZE AND I NEED TO RESTART FIGHT AT 58
come to jp land of the free
i hit rank 1 with 3 battles remaining

have to +9 3x a day by default

inb4 he's going down to 0 each reset
Coz i sleep and i dont wake up in time
For double refreshs
So i have to empty to 0/10
Everytime
Im not gonna ruin my sleep for ranking
But i dont even have to
Jp is so dead


is there a tierlist for pvp
There is one under the exercises tab of EN community tierlist but it’s incomplete
Mutsuki > everything

Juneau VG, or HMS Torp meme. For Backline, stack some Wyverns on some 120 CV's = Win.
nvm it's in the pins
AP supremacy
In sub1000 ranks 
I have a quick question, cuda or swordfish
wyvern cuda
818 only if you're setting up for ryuuseis or something
The general pick is cuda ye unless ur gonna utilize the slow somehow
Hello lads & gntlmn, good evening.
Any1 can send me a pvp tier link?
Thanks 
nah its fine
i mean with only 3 months in the game it's fine 
no one expects new players to have full meta fleets
I dont want to spam with SS for showing my dock so i could ask better chances..
kevo
fixed
But if u guys say its okai
it will be okai then
@north vine uhhhhhh 130 imo
aight
bit new to pvp, but curious what you all thought was the current best fleet setup atm?
i have most meta ships, so just wanted to know the answer to that
the "meta" backline is still nagato shinano hiryuukai
vanguard can vary a bit, but it nearly always includes juneau.
people are experimenting with different setups on attack these days
which 2 would you choose out of Azuma, Noshiro, and Yukikaze?
personally i use juneau yuki noshi, but sometimes swap azuma for noshi
i don't have enough black magtorps to do a full HMS torpmeme
is it better to use Azuma if you dont really have black magtorps?
On offense? She's a big ship that's really useful bullying smaller ones. Just be careful if you face a torpedo-heavy defense.
(Banner of the Stars avatar?)
yeah lol
and alright, good to know, tho im unsure of the actual vanguard formation, is it Juneau as the tank? then something like Yuki in the middle with Noshiro as offtank? just flat confused on that part
Defense fleets are sometimes wacky and need similar out-of-the-norm thinking.
generally juneau is main tank if she has manjuu
Juneau, especially with the Elite Repair Manjuu, is best at front as tank. The other positions are 50:50.
Because after 25~30s you expect Juneau to be dead anyway, taking the brunt of the first wave of torpedoes, barrage, and airstrike (and doing so protecting/healing everyone else)
gotcha, that makes sense
thanks for the tips guys, that should be enough to get me started i imagine
Nagato getting archived now 
this game still shit 
idk man looks like you won on a huge margin
99% of players will now be using exclusively meta fleets lol
Unless they lack Shinano lol
i still use enty over my oathed 120 shinano

who is skk? i forgot 
Hey, the old PvP tier list is out of date and it looks like Azur Lane's Community Tier List website added a PvP guide w/ PvP ship tier lists:
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/pvpguide
Just in case someone wants to update the pins on this channel
This is what I've been trying to find for a while
Updated: October 2020
Anything pre-Stealth/OpSi is out of date, as CV's and AA ships became dominant afterwards, on top of 533mk9 Torps + Black Dildo Aux.
This guide is post-stealth/OpSi


Not like she’s gonna be relevant for long 
Amagi server is going to be cancer land
The only way it will get worse is aurora rerun
Interesting site *bookmarked *
It’s not fully completed yet tho we’re working on it 
Parts were updated two months ago. Like everything, it's always a work in progress.
In that line of thinking, all servers would go that route. Barring game shutting down.
Lexington didn't
Relaxington 
right
AP supremacy 
I was thinking left gun, because there's times when my suzu is shooting a shinano and doing no dmg with right gun

Use ap smh
what ap
armor piercing 
I meant what ap gun is he talking about
the "new" gear lab one?
Ironblood tech tree
Was on lunch break and wasn't going to make reset
assuming you dont have wyverns, how would you build shinano for pvp?
intern?
I would just go barracuda
Fighter/second cuda first slot depending on the rest of your fleet
So like fighter/cuda - experimental - cuda with avgas beacon
sorry, not super familiar with certain terminology, avgas?
ah, ok, thank you
is there a specific fighter you would use? also was curious why no double experimental? to slow?
Use a tigercat or sea hornet
And ye double db is slow and there are better planes u could use in that slot
If Suzu is shooting Shinano you should be 100% to win anyways
You also want fighter for stealth reasons
what do fighters do that help with stealth?
they shot down the enemy's planes
oh, so by shooting them down they stay hidden longer, makes sense, ty
Yee u want your carriers to stay hidden while revealing enemy carriers
The hidden dmg boost is big
I still don't know why nobody reported or fixed the bug with Hiryuu's school skin
What bug?
Give them time
@delicate owl
It's much less them shooting down anything but your fighters decrease enemy stealth when they intercept and crash
ah, ty, didnt know that worked like that
But being shot down helps too (by protecting your stealth) 
As an alternative tactic you can have Shinano focus on only surface damage, but partner her with a backline that throws extra interception (Perseus, Essex, etc) to remove enemy air support while keeping your own backline hidden(-ish; Perseus double take-off sheds a lot of stealth)
yeah, im using Perseus as a stopgap until i level up Hiryuu, figured that was an okayish strat in the meantime lol, guess ill have Shinano focus on surface damage til then
dear
fucking
god
have you
gone against
an oaklahoma
in pvp
and u won the frontline battle

Idk if it works when she's on your team, but when Hiryuu with the school skin is mirrored (AKA enemy team), she doesn't have the status color blinks
So you can't tell if her immortality is still up or not

must be like 7th time or so I win the exercise battle and get counted as a loss cus' my last ship is destroyed a millisecond after I won

patch this shit for fucks sake
F
I'd rather lose cus' I get distracted and suck pp than getting robbed from victory like that

darn

historically accurate final counter 
I mean, fighters certainly help but idk how much you should expect from them 
No more packets to send (connection interrupted when it tried to transmit battle data)

JP 
Man I wish we are half as lax as JP
Too many individuals flexing.



Since I am bored, thoughts on Shoukaku vs Centaur. Uses/Pros/cons/etc.
Shoukaku = ijn 4x tb
Shoukaku is hotter as well
Centau = 2 fighters haha airstrikes go brr
Centaur has a 4x tb slot too, just less efficiency
Idk, Shoukaku is hot, but I have an elf fetish
U would use skk over cent to proc shinano skill too
Id say centaur is hotter , shoukaku is cuter
Centaur is lewd 
Ya skk better paired with ijn ships, while centa apart from her loadout + slow
Infant doesnt go around and call people elder lol
true
She calls mutsuki elder 
Loli baba
Mutsuki is like those loli-looking grannies

All part of the deception
300 yr old dragon in the body of a 4 yr old 

Kinky
Rip Amagi, the days of lax pvp is gone
amagi server was like three months old when the isss rerun happened so many of us already got nagato during that time
Oh ok
but she already is
