just vs Nano Hiryuu if you can

#

the others you rely on your team just being better anyways

glossy meteor
#

Ya alright thanks for the help

#

So rn I should do Enty essex intrepid with sandy, juneau, and helena

candid sluice
#

Works

coral wren
#

would you like me to put up my own real team on defense instead of my level 120 unequipped garbo

#

not that it matters this time around

elder crane
#

sounds reasonable for a first shot
Sex bofors on Sandy/Juneau with post +10 hopefully

coral wren
#

but I could just put my attack fleet on defense

elder crane
#

ye pls do so
gib teams to actually test against
tbf probably I don't see you until later week 2 so can just wait til then

coral wren
#

out of curiosity what are your thoughts about duca replacing naganami in the noshiro/naga/jintsuu comp
I'm thinking it might be a thing

elder crane
#

I think Kanzaki recs triple sex bofors actually?

#

not sure, you'll have to ask him

#

he tested out some diff AA loadouts

sour oasis
#

More sex the better.

elder crane
#

Stats boi

#

Abruzzi Noshiro Naganami Jintsuu shuffles

#

M is for magnetic dmg, aka preload

coral wren
#

I mean I care less about theoretical dps and more about practice

elder crane
#

then you have the stuff until 15 s then the stuff post 20s

coral wren
#

like, do you think the extra defensive skills that duca has and her accuracy buff make it worth it? idk

elder crane
#

well all I know is the dmg numbers look promising

#

cause the current torpcomp actually kinda overkills on dmg
although idk how that will stack up vs VV and such

coral wren
#

to me at least she seems clearly seems better than naga w/r/t her own performance but idk the value of the teamwide critrate buff
that's the issue

elder crane
#

cause technically now

#

you can stack -78% torp dmg

#

since it's additive

coral wren
#

yea, but duca having 85 luck and a 15% accuracy buff on self sounds very valuable

elder crane
#

that just makes up for no Nagato

#

but it does make up for no Nagato

#

as seen on my chart

coral wren
#

the 15% buff does but the 85 luck is better tbh

elder crane
#

hitrate-wise

coral wren
#

not sure if the slower torps will be an upside or a downside

#

have to see

elder crane
#

I literally have the hitrates laid out there YorkBruh

coral wren
#

against specific hypothetical attack comps yes

elder crane
#

is not really that diff aaa

#

the relative hitrate is pretty much the same for 60 eva and 130 eva

#

so idk about you but I expect that overall

coral wren
#

I mean noshiro or not makes a big diff

#

like I get what you're saying that you calced it out but you made some assumptions
and since you made some assumptions I'm not super interested in the raw numbers

elder crane
#

???????

#

since base hitrate is basically the same

#

Noshiro

#

will have literally the same effect

#

like +15% evarate wow changes so much for Duca vs current comp when hitrate otherwise is something like 82% vs 80%

coral wren
#

no need to be sarcastic

#

I'm just pointing out that if you calc it vs specific comps it can be useful to compare two setups vs those comps but you can't necessarily translate that over to an arbitrary comp

#

okay sure noshiro was a bad example cause she's a flat -15% and won't change the relative difference

elder crane
#

look
I ran the numbers
And there's barely a difference at all on the hitrate numbers for diff defensive stats

coral wren
#

your chart is also extremely hard to read cause everything is abbreviated
which is fine for your own purposes cause you know what it means but I sure don't

elder crane
#

cause the offensive stats are pretty much identical

#

yes I didn't design it for readability, it's just an appendix

coral wren
#

ye, it's not a criticism since clearly you just threw it together
just pointing it out that it's hard for me to read the chart

elder crane
#

the overall results is
because the overall stats hitrate-wise is nearly identical to current IJN team
and that dmg numbers wise is not all that much lower
and since current team tends to overkill anyways
it's very promising

#

since Duca seems like she offers some nice defensive options

coral wren
#

even if you take raw hitrate is the same (sure, I'll buy that)
I'm not sure if the self-critrate buff and critdamage buff is more valuable than the naganami teamwide critrate buff

elder crane
#

it's not

#

but, she does offer defensive options

coral wren
#

I'm also not sure if the slower torps are an upside or a downside

elder crane
#

and it's not much worse

#

for the normal torps -1 speed apparently makes almost no diff

covert swallow
#

duca torps

coral wren
#

my instincts say upside but I'm not sure since that's an upside in pvp

elder crane
#

for mags, hard to say

covert swallow
#

🐌

coral wren
#

out of curiosity how do you usually equip that comp

elder crane
#

all the same basically

#

blacktorp oxytorp mk9

#

usually staag for AA, and whatever gun you want pretty much

trail temple
#

Like this?

coral wren
#

ah okay
I wasn't invested enough in pvp to farm out more than one black oxytorp so I only have the one
which makes this comp probably not viable for me

elder crane
#

yep

#

ye 1 is almost certainly not going to work

#

2 is passable esp on offense (maaaybe actually optimal on offense? is at least not clearly worse)

#

lead ship without one is kindaish fine usually

coral wren
#

wonder if there's a hybrid setup maybe
like juneau duca yukikaze instead of azuma

elder crane
#

though in terms of staag vs sexbofors on the vanguard
~1.3% hitrate vs vanguard vs ~1/6 of a Juneau in terms of AA dmg

trail temple
#

Is there an appropriate order to whether jintsuu or nosh should be lead?

elder crane
coral wren
#

ye I'm thinking offense

#

defense I don't really care that much since I'm not going for EoS

elder crane
#

the lowest I could pare down to and have it still sorta work was Noshiro Leip Ibuki

#

anything less and it didn't have enough alpha to kill things

#

which is the main reason why HMS torps works at all, it stacks all the torps together to create enough alpha to murder shit through anything except immunity skills

#

torpbulge+Noshiro basically does nothing
although remains to be seen what happens if you stack VV and/or Duca on top of that

trail temple
#

There was that video where we showed both your torp fleets as a def fleet in action

elder crane
#

since unlike normal damage reduction, torp damage reduction is additve

#

ye apparently when you barely have enough alpha on offense
80% dmg scaling means you don't have enough alpha on defense PortDoll

#

though I'm still pretty sure current team is overkilling with torps even on defense

#

anyways, on paper, if you stack -78% reduction and considering hitrates, hypothetically that means you can eat like 15 torps before the ship goes down

trail temple
#

I wonder if jint, leip and nosh then might have that nice middle ground?

elder crane
#

I tried that and on offense at least Noshiro Naganami Leip worked better for some reason

#

something something about crit scaling probably?

trail temple
#

Interesting

elder crane
#

+Naganami being higher torp dmg with 10s launch

#

+Nano Naganami actually having higher eHP than Jint lol

trail temple
#

I always forget about Nano's DD buff

elder crane
#

though ofc that's maybe misleading since base (HP+dred)/evarate spread is so much diff

#

anyways tl;dr is on paper duca seems very interesting since a Duca torpteam doesn't seem to have too much lower alpha/torp dmg in general at all

light crystal
coral wren
#

ye, in the Aquila VV Warkai thing I mentioned earlier

#

VV buffs duca in addition, potentially relevant

#

currently I'm running this setup on attack with Nagato Shinano Hiryuu Juneau Azuma Yukikaze

#

aquila's preloaded airstrike also dumps a bunch of crap on the enemy vanguard too probably

#

which could potentially help with the torpnuke on attack

If you're going the extra mile to use an AA gun for the split AA/FP boost, might as well use the nepgun so you get that extra 10 FP too

If I'm using nagato in pvp, would souryuu hiryuu be better than hiryuu enterprise?

ripe latch

left hiryu and put ws retro

Wait what

#

Warspite retro and nagato on the same team?

ripe latch

Hiryuu enterprise is fine

shinano nagato hiryu

Damn, can't get shinano

U could try shoukaku

ripe latch

Nagato, Makagi, and Hiryuu should be alright

Better than using Hiryuu and Shoukaku with Nagato, or Hiryuu and Souryuu with Nagato.

Man

#

I don't have muse akagi either xD

#

and how do you even get makagi

trail temple
#

From the muse event, so she's event locked

next burrow
#

Are essex n enty the only two uss cvs worth running atm?

radiant brook
#

Intrepid if you are sick of being burnt by Richy

next burrow
#

Oh she would be great in that case ye

radiant brook
#

Black torp gold quint is becoming a bigger and bigger problem now

#

Most of the time it just kills the vanguard immediately

Or failing that it can instant kill a backline if lucky enough

radiant brook
#

If it can instant kill 120/200 fdg, I doubt that could help the vanguard survive

candid sluice
#

Just use littorio YorkBruh

radiant brook
#

Didn't even MLB

ripe latch
#

just use nakaga+sirius, this main wipe trash trp vg worryCommander

crude mortar
#

if you use nakaga

#

why sirius

#

just sendai

ripe latch
#

after circle fix monaCry

elder crane
#

Also it's vs torps

#

Have you seen my vid on Nakaga vs torps?

#

It's not pretty

#

And the issue isn't CV dmg

#

A single fox can wipe their vanguard with just Nagato and pairing boost

#

The issue is their torps bash your face in anyways

#

And you can't win vs Hiryuu without vanguard alive

ripe latch
elder crane
#

Is worse than just standard comp WarShrug

ripe latch
#

work on littorio/venetto/aquila

elder crane
#

Yeet Litt

#

+Richi

#

Now we talking

ripe latch
#

talk lel

elder crane
#

Then ofc run the new torpmemes

ripe latch
#

40-60% chance

elder crane
#

Abruzzi Something Something

#

Probably Naganami Noshiro

ripe latch
#

🚮 noshiro survive , other die

#

good comp

elder crane
#

?

#

Abruzzi is not that squish

#

And Naganami can be annoying sometimes

#

Plus only Noshiro need to survive til 20 s for second set of torps anyways

#

Although if you expect them to die you probably want Hiryuu main instead

ripe latch
#

think about it , maybe create vg with juneau/abruzzi/noshi

elder crane
#

As Anti-torp?
Main issues are
Main still eats shit
How do you expect to win with that

#

But probably is better than what you can do now

ripe latch
#

trp fleet just meme + rng

royal oyster
#

block torps with face AkagiLUL

elder crane
#

Aquila is our main hope

#

Idk if she's enough to kill though

#

Maybe with Azuma helping

#

Otherwise is too many slots sacrificed imo

ripe latch
#

trp eater help AkagiLUL

elder crane
#

You'll get shit on by standard comps instead

#

Abruzzi at least not a loss to slot in, but torp dred is additive scaling so I don't think it's too helpful

ripe latch
#

make own trp meme fleet

elder crane
#

Is mainly that when you already stack -70% then another -8% is massive

#

Ye honestly

#

Abruzzi only make torp team worse to face lmao

#

Just like Noshiro

ripe latch
#

still hate this piece of shet

elder crane
#

Drop her
Use Abruzzi instead :BuckyPride:

ripe latch
#

skunk hater

elder crane
#

On paper the torp dmg output is not much worse for slotting in Abruzzi over one of Jint, Noshiro, Naganami

#

And Abruzzi's extra kit probably makes up for it

#

+13 quint HMS torps were overkilling anyways

ripe latch
#

on my server too low ppl with strong trp team , so
maybe try blue comp Blessex

crude mortar
#

just aquila 818 with venne killing vg

#

if their vg dont die to torp meme

#

then their vg die vene salvo anyway

#

and slap last slot as the usual scum hiryu

#

and aquila launch 2nd air strike before shinano hiryu lauching air strike anyway

#

and they had no vg

guys help

#

richy, fdg, persy, and torp van what do i do

royal oyster
#

just kill it

glossy meteor
#

how it either oblitarates my front or my backline

#

hello anyone

royal oyster
#

block with hiryuu and then kill it because percy is useless after the preload

glossy meteor
#

i don't have hiryuu at a high enough level

royal oyster
#

otherwise reset until they target your vanguard and miss

glossy meteor
#

what is the best gear for hiryuu

#

hello

delicate owl
glossy meteor
#

welp anyother advicce for beating what i said above

#

its a richy, fdg, persy with torp team

midnight heron
#

if u cant copy them then the only way is to use another meta to fight ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

if u got none of the meta then reset till u win (or just refresh if its unwinnable)

glossy meteor
#

welp i can't copy them and any meta ships i have are about 90

#

i ahve been trying for the last 45 minutes

elder crane
#

ye if your ship selection just isn't up to par there's not much you can do about it

candid sluice
#

Guess u have to refresh your list

glossy meteor
#

all i need is to get past the first 5 secs with my backline and atleast 2 frontline at half through

elder crane
#

watch as you get rekt anyways lol

cinder wyvern
#

use some vanguard that can't get insta yeeted like yuki, juea+manjuu etc

elder crane
#

that team isn't completely done after missing most of its stuff in first 5 s

glossy meteor
#

i am using juea but no majuu cause if i don't then my van or backline dies

#

yuki is116

elder crane
#

Juneau without Manjuu is still not saving the team though

glossy meteor
#

ok what should i do
like team comp

cinder wyvern
#

put juneau in front to eat the torps with manjuu

glossy meteor
#

ok

elder crane
#

it's a burst team
either she dies immediately or much later
manjuu is better so that if she's eating all the torps, she bodyblocks for other vanguard

cinder wyvern
#

you can invest in abruzzi if you have no noshiro

glossy meteor
#

abruzzi??

elder crane
#

low-HP torp shield

#

possibly helps keep vanguard alive vs torps

cinder wyvern
#

the new event shop ship

glossy meteor
#

i mean should i be using thewash treaty

elder crane
#

probably doesn't help main fleet but hey, nothing else directly would either

#

yes

#

WNT is best in like every team PortDoll

#

even fricken AKaga works better with WNT lol

#

it's pretty funny

cinder wyvern
glossy meteor
#

ok here is my van rn juea with pear+maju, sandy, helena

cinder wyvern
glossy meteor
#

back formi, enty, and i can't decide on the top cause it always almost dies

elder crane
#

WNT on Akaga reduces the chance of triggering Hiryuu before their vanguard dies

cinder wyvern
glossy meteor
#

but either warspite, sara, hood, king george or maybe zuikaku

elder crane
#

no I wasn't reccing her

#

I was just talking about WNT

cinder wyvern
glossy meteor
#

oh nevermind

elder crane
#

and how for whatever reason it seems optimal on like every team, incl ones where at first it doesn't make sense

spark locust
#

best loadout for azuma?

#

dunno what to put in aux

elder crane
#

one + evasion equip, then next slot up to you

glossy meteor
#

but what should i do for the top slot a carrier or bb

elder crane
#

shoes, AA radar, second +eva equip, other +speed, all viable depending on comp and what you need to squeeze in

spark locust
#

hydraulic and...?

#

I wonder

cinder wyvern
#

something tough, percy gonna reveal the CV anyway

#

so maybe just a BB to dilute the burst dmg

elder crane
#

okay, big question here

spark locust
#

maybe beaver squad tag?

elder crane
#

where is his FdG

spark locust
#

it increases eva

glossy meteor
#

hp wise its hood close is washington

spark locust
#

so hydraulic + beaver maybe?

glossy meteor
#

who should i use

elder crane
#

cause the ship opposite FdG is going to get smacked pretty hard by barrage

glossy meteor
#

what is better in this case hood or wash also gotta worry about the persy and torps

elder crane
# spark locust so hydraulic + beaver maybe?

shoes is really nice if you have it, cause of the +speed
if you have enough speed, I'd actually rec you AA radar or maybe torpbulge depending on what you're having more issues with
though more eva isn't bad

spark locust
#

cosmic kicks?

elder crane
spark locust
#

I do have it

elder crane
#

if is opposite FdG though, hmm

glossy meteor
elder crane
#

Maybe Washington if opposite FdG

#

otherwise that barrage will hurt

cinder wyvern
#

just your highest ship perhaps

glossy meteor
#

i could use warspite, george

elder crane
#

if not same level then higher level ship ye

cinder wyvern
#

if they're underleveled, level advantage counts alot

glossy meteor
#

i have a few 120 lvs but not meta ones rn

elder crane
#

10 levels less and no point, no ship will be better than just something half decent

cinder wyvern
#

thats still taking away 50% dmg bonus from their FDG

glossy meteor
#

also juea is only 104 also should i use yuuki?

cinder wyvern
#

junea is there to eat torps, use her in flag

glossy meteor
#

ok

cinder wyvern
#

she will die but she will help eat the torps before die

glossy meteor
#

yuki is 116 is that fine or no use sandy

elder crane
#

other than Juneau lead with Manjuu, pretty much, just take highest level ships you have
if like within 5 level diff then maybe consider ships better for the situation

#

otherwise the higher level ship will do better

cinder wyvern
elder crane
#

if that doesn't work then you pretty much have no hope

glossy meteor
#

hold on what about nelsons pennatn use that or no

elder crane
#

if lead manjuu juneau then no

cinder wyvern
#

no don't use

elder crane
#

otherwise can consider it

glossy meteor
#

should i use vh armor?

elder crane
#

very much no

#

torps:
100% modifier vs medium
130% modifier vs heavy

cinder wyvern
#

unless it helps the guy tanking FDG survive a bit longer

elder crane
#

okay, fair enough on that

glossy meteor
#

well it is on wash

cinder wyvern
#

ideally juneau sweep the torps afterall

elder crane
#

then no

#

rudder or FE will be better

glossy meteor
#

plus she is already heavy

cinder wyvern
elder crane
#

if already heavy then the VH armor bonus is worthless

glossy meteor
#

ok never mind

elder crane
#

you're better off with rudder or FE in this case, for tanking FdG barrage

cinder wyvern
#

plonk the VH+rudder on a CV ideally

glossy meteor
#

like enty?

cinder wyvern
#

enterprise is best bet cuz you may luck out with owarida

elder crane
#

*if the CV is dying to shellfire

glossy meteor
#

well she mostly dies to torps in the beginning

cinder wyvern
#

hopefully now juneau will sweep the torps

elder crane
#

nothing is going to stop that sadly

cinder wyvern
#

reset till she does

elder crane
#

other than Juneau ye

cinder wyvern
#

but yea

elder crane
#

do add more speed to vanguard if you don't have anything right now

cinder wyvern
#

if the torps get through, just reset

glossy meteor
#

ok wash i have repairkit+steering gear
enty naval and beacon
formi cata+oiltank
juneau pearl+manjuu
sandy
helan sound good

#

i could switch out sandy to like prinz eugen but i know that isn't very smart

cinder wyvern
#

I would move the pearl off juneau cuz of the risk of over healing, and other ships can benefit from the 500 hp more

#

Since the enemy is BB and torp heavy, you can spam as much evasion gear on what ever ship that can afford it

glossy meteor
#

well frick

#

it doesn't even matter nowi got soo low down to 2100 from 1700 cause it been over to close to 2 hours i got a new enemy

#

i hate pvp sometimes
especially torp teams

#

should i use the slow debuff plane with formi

elder crane
#

what exactly are you trying to do with it

#

Formi should be launching last

#

so not like it'll help your other main fleet

glossy meteor
#

well what i gave her when my enty barrage comes its worn off

why is rng agaisnt me

And i do not have a 457mm

leaden sky
#

well if you're going for preload comp, then usually WK for sniping, and you can try VV for the pseudo preload

#

riche can be good flagship to deal damage to opp VG, especially lower hp ships

sirius is a bit lackluster since u only have 1 cv at the back, which kinda wasting her buff imo

Percy Aquila Warkai just sounds shit cause Warkai alone isn't enough to focus anything down
Percy/Aquila does more dmg to vanguard anyways, probably
But ye I think Richi/VV/Aquila would kill VG better than Percy+Aquila+VV/Richi

If u wanna wipe vg ig try Aquila with 818 and richy jb YorkBruh tho idk if the planes arrive in time for the shelling

Point still stands that no need to use Percy if u have Aquila

Why use JB when you can run VV instead

Do we know yet her barrage priorities

covert swallow

Her barrage and her skill are both random

elder crane
#

Aquila Akaga is maybe interesting, though from what I see out of Nano Akaga, I doubt it can wipe vanguard by 15 s which is basically the intent of Aquila AKaga

#

On the 20 s launches, Aquila won't even hit before Nano/Hiryuu do either since Nagato reload buff is basically the same effect as Aquila cdr

candid sluice

Nagato + akaga with fm boost can barely do dmg AkagiLUL

How to make warspite target her BB shots to the back instead of shooting at the vanguard?

candid sluice
#

Preload carrier

covert swallow
#

her skill will lock on the ship furthest from her, so place her at bottom if you're trying to snipe the top ship etc

#

if you're trying to snipe a CV you need perseus or aquila to spot them

radiant brook
#

I mean her BB shots and not the skill

#

Sometimes she fires at the vanguard even if the enemy has a nagato

candid sluice

First one targets up

#

Second and third shots random

radiant brook
#

So no way to force the 2nd and 3rd shots to target the back?

candid sluice

just nuke the vg before she has to fire 🧠

If you want less targeting RNG then preload and aim at vanguard

i believe in the fantasy

that i dont proc final counter

elder crane
#

More cancer than nontorp save maybe Helena comps

north vine

Then you lose

Cause FC wipes your main

Cause no own Hiryuu

north vine
#

i believe in EntyLUL

elder crane
#

Manjuu Enty loses to Hiryuu though

#

Timings don't work out for her

north vine
#

well assuming enty rng just sucks

elder crane
#

No like if it comes down to Enty vs Hiryuu, Enty always loses

#

FC lasts too long and doesn't have Hiryuu instadie at end

north vine
#

my rng begs to differ

#

then again im in sandy

elder crane
#

The only way that works is if Hiryuu proc'd before enty strike wave hits

north vine
#

it can happen

elder crane
#

Otherwise FC return strike hits after lucky E is over, pops Manjuu, then Enty dies before she's able to kill hiryuu after FC ends

north vine
#

its really just rng on when i proc enemy fc

elder crane
#

But ye on Hiryuu vs Enty 1v1 is Enty loss every time

#

Do you know what's funny

how well does

does 831 hiryuu work

Enty vs hiryuu isn’t always a loss YorkBruh

If the timing lines up enty can win

elder crane
#

If 1v1 it is a loss

candid sluice
#

Not always YorkBruh

elder crane
#

Enty need Hiryuu FC to not be proc by her strike

candid sluice
#

She launches just before hiryuu planes arrive

north vine
#

does essex absolute evasion stay even if she dies

candid sluice
#

8 sec is enough for her planes to arrive at end screen

elder crane
#

Timings don't line up for that if Enty strike pops FC

#

Enty needs something other than her strike to pop FC

candid sluice
#

Unless hiryuu not using avgas for some reason

#

Is this 1v1 from full health or after everyone is wiped

#

If from full then yea enty loss

#

But in real matches she has a chance

elder crane
#

At low health 1v1 then you need intercept planes to line up right

candid sluice
#

If she can survive fighter and barrage crash she should be fine

elder crane
#

In real matches is only soft enty counter ye since if someone else pop FC then Enty has good chance to win

candid sluice
#

Which most likely fc will be popped by then

#

If not then something went wrong earlier on YorkBruh and it’s a loss either way

elder crane
#

Regardless, if FC is popped by Enty strike, then lucky E wears off before FC strike comes in - if that strike pops Manjuu on Enty, then Manjuu ends only like 1 s after FC, and Manjuu is instant death while FC is not
Is still relevant occasionally
And I still really don't like Manjuu on Enty

I think my veneto is doing something wrong essexderp

Bullet shields absorb shots away from chara so no skills proc off them being hit

So it’s just a case of spaghetti coding YorkBruh

Oh okay... good to know

candid sluice

For second case is that when any shield is hit or the specific ships shield

elder crane

On the specific ship ye

#

Basically for those ships a 0 dmg hit still counts as a hit

And since HP shields technically set incoming dmg to 0 instead of absorbing the shot...

Ya that's definitely a fluke
The fact that the nagato rolled exactly 0 evasions is impressive by itself

covert swallow
#

yea it's not like she's consistently going to nuke a backline like that, I just thought the damage looks way more impressive than I was expecting

light crystal

Well either way, it shows that AQL is more than just a de-stealther. Preload + 2/2/4 + DMG onus increase + faster AS CD. Great package.

I'd test and record more battles to show, but it's not easy to find a meta fleet to test against on amagi

elder crane
covert swallow

just get good rng like that every fight BuckyPride

that's actually bad RNG

Nagato is just a buff stick for absorbing dmg

covert swallow
#

does her buff still last even after she dies?

elder crane
#

Yes

covert swallow
#

oh ok I didn't know that

elder crane
#

Nagato buff is permanent

#

Anyways nowadays is pretty typical for Juneau to be only ship that can sometimes do less dmg than Nagato does

elder crane
#

Pretty obvious given it's not even the right timing
And you can see there's no shots going in

light crystal
#

Well either way, WK would've opened up after

elder crane
#

Ye and done... what exactly

#

Until she kills her target her contribution has been exactly zero

#

Is the fundamental issue here
Without those torps RNG wskai probably doesn't even pop Hiryuu skill half the time by 20 s

#

So effectively has done nothing until 25 s in when second barrage/aquila strike does it

#

It's why I don't like Hiryuu in standard mirror anymore
She just does nothing for far too long

light crystal
#

She was meta for over a year, destealth is the only thing that brought her reign over

#

Like bruh

elder crane
#

I shilled wskai a bunch when she was actually useful in her comp

#

The current meta doesn't have her be useful

light crystal
#

Yeah either way, ur going too hard on hatin her

#

Makes no sense to me tbh

elder crane
#

Is she good anyways? Sure
Is she the best option here? Heck no, contribution is too low too late

light crystal
#

But destealth will make her really good. Mostly in Attack I guess, but I rather have a consistent attack that doesnt give a shit how many Wyverns u got cuz u can just murder with WK

#

So like, yeah

elder crane
#

Would be like randomly taking Naganami with Juneau Azuma

#

Would Naganami still do okay? Sure

light crystal

She will be the best option for Attack, period

elder crane

Is it the right comp for her? Heck no

light crystal

VERY sure

elder crane
#

Taking Richi or Hiryuu makes much more sense here WarShrug

light crystal
#

I'm not saying she will be defense meta, cuz u can off-tank her, reset, and she will do 20% less damage

#

Richy doesn't make any sense to me, so lets agree to disagree on that

But anyway, reliable af Attack, I can deffo see her

WK never contributed to VG killing, cuz she always will shoot backline anyway. Richy, eh

My point being that focusing the backline isn't as effective as focusing the vanguard with aquila comps.

at worst it won't be til second round of shelling that WS focuses down her target

Percy Warkai FdG was already marginal on killing the target

Aquila does barely any more crash than percy does if you bring VV
