Ya alright thanks for the help
So rn I should do Enty essex intrepid with sandy, juneau, and helena
Works
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
sounds reasonable for a first shot
Sex bofors on Sandy/Juneau with post +10 hopefully
but I could just put my attack fleet on defense
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
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
I think Kanzaki recs triple sex bofors actually?
not sure, you'll have to ask him
he tested out some diff AA loadouts
More sex the better.
hey you're in luck
Stats boi
Abruzzi Noshiro Naganami Jintsuu shuffles
M is for magnetic dmg, aka preload
I mean I care less about theoretical dps and more about practice
then you have the stuff until 15 s then the stuff post 20s
like, do you think the extra defensive skills that duca has and her accuracy buff make it worth it? idk
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
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
yea, but duca having 85 luck and a 15% accuracy buff on self sounds very valuable
that just makes up for no Nagato
but it does make up for no Nagato
as seen on my chart
the 15% buff does but the 85 luck is better tbh
hitrate-wise
I literally have the hitrates laid out there 
against specific hypothetical attack comps yes
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
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
???????
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%
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
look
I ran the numbers
And there's barely a difference at all on the hitrate numbers for diff defensive stats
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
cause the offensive stats are pretty much identical
yes I didn't design it for readability, it's just an appendix
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
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
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
I'm also not sure if the slower torps are an upside or a downside
and it's not much worse
for the normal torps -1 speed apparently makes almost no diff
my instincts say upside but I'm not sure since that's an upside in pvp
for mags, hard to say
🐌
out of curiosity how do you usually equip that comp
all the same basically
blacktorp oxytorp mk9
usually staag for AA, and whatever gun you want pretty much
Like this?
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
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
wonder if there's a hybrid setup maybe
like juneau duca yukikaze instead of azuma
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
Is there an appropriate order to whether jintsuu or nosh should be lead?
Hybrid setups work okay on offense but tend to be shit on defense
ye I'm thinking offense
defense I don't really care that much since I'm not going for EoS
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
There was that video where we showed both your torp fleets as a def fleet in action
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 
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
I wonder if jint, leip and nosh then might have that nice middle ground?
I tried that and on offense at least Noshiro Naganami Leip worked better for some reason
something something about crit scaling probably?
+Naganami being higher torp dmg with 10s launch
+Nano Naganami actually having higher eHP than Jint lol
I always forget about Nano's DD buff
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

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
No beaver badge either
crash tactic 
imagine not crash memeing
2580 best on washi , how much on avrora 
still 15m left 
Fuck -2 

of all the ways I thought it might end, that was not what I expected





For optimal WK sniping, u probably want to +13 a 457 asap eh
Yes
We gonna be here a while
I surmise at least 6 weeks. Up to 8 and higher if unlucky.
Nah, this is worse. 8 weeks for sure 
It should at least be +12 in about 3 or so weeks.
Hms aa gun 
Butchering ur fleet aa for +15 fp 
He doesn’t know 
?
Either way, pretty sure u get more mileage out of STAAG anyway
hitting > missing at a greater magnitude
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?
left hiryu and put ws retro

Hm how do I get the most out of nagato buff
shinano nagato hiryu
Damn, can't get shinano

U could try shoukaku

You could also try Muse Akagi
Nagato, Makagi, and Hiryuu should be alright
Better than using Hiryuu and Shoukaku with Nagato, or Hiryuu and Souryuu with Nagato.
From the muse event, so she's event locked
Are essex n enty the only two uss cvs worth running atm?
Intrepid if you are sick of being burnt by Richy
Oh she would be great in that case ye
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

conti meta when
If it can instant kill 120/200 fdg, I doubt that could help the vanguard survive
Just use littorio 
Didn't even MLB

just use nakaga+sirius, this main wipe trash trp vg 
after circle fix 
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
Is worse than just standard comp 
talk lel
Then ofc run the new torpmemes
40-60% chance
?
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
think about it , maybe create vg with juneau/abruzzi/noshi
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
block torps with face 
Aquila is our main hope
Idk if she's enough to kill though
Maybe with Azuma helping
Otherwise is too many slots sacrificed imo
trp eater help 
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
make own trp meme fleet
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
still hate this piece of shet
Drop her
Use Abruzzi instead :BuckyPride:
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
on my server too low ppl with strong trp team , so
maybe try blue comp 
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
ggez
wfc but spagetti
Pasta/WK master race.
just kill it
block with hiryuu and then kill it because percy is useless after the preload
i don't have hiryuu at a high enough level
otherwise reset until they target your vanguard and miss
sea hornet/tigercat
gold helldiver
wyvern
avigas
beacon/mic
welp anyother advicce for beating what i said above
its a richy, fdg, persy with torp team
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)
welp i can't copy them and any meta ships i have are about 90
i ahve been trying for the last 45 minutes
ye if your ship selection just isn't up to par there's not much you can do about it
Guess u have to refresh your list
45 minutes i refuse
all i need is to get past the first 5 secs with my backline and atleast 2 frontline at half through
watch as you get rekt anyways lol
use some vanguard that can't get insta yeeted like yuki, juea+manjuu etc
that team isn't completely done after missing most of its stuff in first 5 s
i am using juea but no majuu cause if i don't then my van or backline dies
yuki is116
Juneau without Manjuu is still not saving the team though
ok what should i do
like team comp
put juneau in front to eat the torps with manjuu
ok
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
you can invest in abruzzi if you have no noshiro
abruzzi??
the new event shop ship
i mean should i be using thewash treaty
probably doesn't help main fleet but hey, nothing else directly would either
yes
WNT is best in like every team 
even fricken AKaga works better with WNT lol
it's pretty funny

ok here is my van rn juea with pear+maju, sandy, helena
back formi, enty, and i can't decide on the top cause it always almost dies
WNT on Akaga reduces the chance of triggering Hiryuu before their vanguard dies

but either warspite, sara, hood, king george or maybe zuikaku
akagi is too low

oh nevermind
and how for whatever reason it seems optimal on like every team, incl ones where at first it doesn't make sense
one + evasion equip, then next slot up to you
but what should i do for the top slot a carrier or bb
shoes, AA radar, second +eva equip, other +speed, all viable depending on comp and what you need to squeeze in
something tough, percy gonna reveal the CV anyway
so maybe just a BB to dilute the burst dmg
okay, big question here
maybe beaver squad tag?
where is his FdG
hp wise its hood close is washington
so hydraulic + beaver maybe?
who should i use
cause the ship opposite FdG is going to get smacked pretty hard by barrage
what is better in this case hood or wash also gotta worry about the persy and torps
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
cosmic kicks?
ngl sound equally bad but Hood probably does better here
I do have it
if is opposite FdG though, hmm
well i could use hiryuu but she is 90 and only lv 7
just your highest ship perhaps
i could use warspite, george
if not same level then higher level ship ye
if they're underleveled, level advantage counts alot
i have a few 120 lvs but not meta ones rn
10 levels less and no point, no ship will be better than just something half decent
thats still taking away 50% dmg bonus from their FDG
also juea is only 104 also should i use yuuki?
junea is there to eat torps, use her in flag
ok
she will die but she will help eat the torps before die
yuki is 116 is that fine or no use sandy
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

if that doesn't work then you pretty much have no hope
hold on what about nelsons pennatn use that or no
if lead manjuu juneau then no
no don't use
otherwise can consider it
should i use vh armor?
unless it helps the guy tanking FDG survive a bit longer
okay, fair enough on that
well it is on wash
ideally juneau sweep the torps afterall
plus she is already heavy

if already heavy then the VH armor bonus is worthless
ok never mind
you're better off with rudder or FE in this case, for tanking FdG barrage
plonk the VH+rudder on a CV ideally
like enty?
enterprise is best bet cuz you may luck out with owarida
*if the CV is dying to shellfire
well she mostly dies to torps in the beginning
hopefully now juneau will sweep the torps
nothing is going to stop that sadly
reset till she does
other than Juneau ye
but yea
do add more speed to vanguard if you don't have anything right now
if the torps get through, just reset
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
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
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
what exactly are you trying to do with it
Formi should be launching last
so not like it'll help your other main fleet
well what i gave her when my enty barrage comes its worn off
why is rng agaisnt me
enemy enty that multiple times doesn't fail a luckyE
But this was like unreal rng I mean it happened solid for like 7 resets
You have never seen Nagato proc-ing her barrage for 20 times in a row

If you spend less than an hour trying to win a match, you're doing fine
hearing you guys talk about these struggles makes me realize how easy I've got it on amagi

Imagine not doing 5 tickets in 3 minutes 

You forgot Washy
Quadra boxing fek
QuadAsian
I'd need tentacles to go that far, and if I did have tentacles I wouldn't be here, I would be in several porn films
OctoAsian when 
Would need to join the pvp scene in tw and jp
Thats what the uranium mine in your backyard is for
as well as Sandy
What are u waiting for 
you're just gonna be feeding them 
For the first 6 months 
Do it
Bigger room, better computer and I'll run Sandy too for complete EN coverage

logs 




Did ALM succeed in t10 Washington?
So just checking, anyone else encounter StagPrince on Avrora?
He hasn't started the challenge yet
He runs richy/percy/warkai+black torp?
No, he allegedly has a 19k backline featuring Enterprise.
Oh haven't seen that yet
So if anyone encounters him, I'd be real happy to see any videos of matches against him.
Kanzaki is in avrora, stagprince is definitely in avrora
The guy with 20k hp enty? 
70k, but yeah. Trying to verify it.
Ah was off by about 50k 
Simple mistake. You just weren't calculating his extra toolbox he has on her 
I asked and was told they can hit 20k+ with two seal of 4 gods (or any gold HP-boost aux, like the muse dress). I don't know how their power levels reach 19k though.
I thought u could only equip those on destroyers?

Probably stacking two +13 550s or something
Celestial Body dress and Gamer's Mark would also give a combined +1.2k
But pre-PvP boost HP of 20k for a boat who only has 6k (when even BB are limited to 10k) is.. I can't even fathom that.
Whatever is doing that is what's likely inflating the fleet power
i thought the consensus was there were some bannable shenanigans at work

the question is if it can be done in general or if it's modded client only
if first, then the bug is only on the server's side, not the player's problem
regardless there has to be some 🍝 at work here

How to beat torpmemes: just dodge them 
make own trp team


Own torps... are actually the worst vs a torpteam I swear...
Literally worse than a coinflip
better than see how u vg wipe out 
Torpmeme offense 
why delete if they have logs 

Is Azami supposed to a reference, or just a name you liked?
Both? From XBC2 


Aren't you one? 
people that oaths for pvp arent rich
It’s the only place where 120/200 matters 
I thought it was to remove the retro suffix
Add retro to ur oathed eugen, now u have eugen kai 
"Sandy (Kai ni)" 
what are the good comps for VV in attacking fleet?
Aquila, Warkai and Duca maybs?

well, I have no chance beating meta fleets without my ships being 120 with maxed skills, so I just went with something slightly close to meta, but a bit off

do you mean on my team?
but he wants to win in 15s 
Aye
I never raised juneau, and I only have like 50bps for azuma 
Know the feels
my normal comp is helena/suzu/sandy - nagato/shinano/hiryuu
amagi is easy enough to where I don't feel like I need juneau yet 
I really don't like how juneau looks so I don't want to raise her for pvp 
That's why I thought I'd poke my nose into the Amagi server as well
Actually, Salty wanted friends in Amagi
/s
uhm....
19k main fleet power?
(Not my pic)
his enty is bugged/exploited
godmode enty 
tf nice hax
wake me up once you guys 3 wyvern 
im near my 3rd 
but im running wskai 
I'm only just about to get my 2nd next opsi reset, and I haven't missed any prints 
Same 
im on my 2nd non-existent UR AA
Who would be the best third main fleet ship to run if i wanna try out a Percy/Aquila comp? WK? Riche? VV? Someone else?
Will probably try to stick sirius in the vanguard as well
Im on Amagi btw if that changes things
And i do not have a 457mm
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
Wouldnt it be 2 carriers with Perseus and Aquila?
Fdg
i thought it was either percy or aqui
My fdg is dev18 lul
Don't you mean "Percy and Aquila"?
Yeah I want to try a comp with Percy and Aquila and I'm wondering about some possibilities for who the best 3rd main fleet ship could be
Probably warkai to take advantage of the reveal
But u only need one of those carriers
just leave percy out and put riche instead for more damage imo
cuz percy after 2 preload just takes too long to strike again
And use monarch or something if u don’t have fdg
Also u kinda want 457 with that comp but amagi server lol
I'm zoomin
probably wants to try out a full wipeout of rear right at the start
French preload too fast to take advantage of Aquila reveal
Still shooting vanguard
pretty sure their backline wont get wiped from percy and aqui
Their vanguard might if i run sirius

just riche instead lol, but u can try the comp tho
How much hit does Aquila have
Needs more wyvern
Percy dmg kinda yucky
prolly, i'd like to try it too if i have the resource 
Aquila has 40 luck, 101 hit
And terrible db slot 
Can’t rely on tbs alone to wipe vang
Pers doesn’t even have db
Pretty sure that's the point
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
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
Random
Her barrage and her skill are both random
what about akaga vs vg
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
Nagato + akaga with fm boost can barely do dmg 
?
Nagato Akaga does dmg just fine with double wyvern
Or like even Nano Akaga I had to run WNT on
Otherwise first strike would proc Hiryuu
Beeg damages
Beeeeeg


Just 
really... Aquila???? 🤔
Preload airstrike

It's gph, most of them dont bother with pvp
yeah I mean she's just like Percy but better
and I don't think I'll ever see a Percy in the top 1-20 EOS...
Ofc you won't it's not great in a defence fleet
hmmmm
Just need Duca in your vg and Veneto gets all her buffs
besides juneau/azuma (don't have them) what do you think are some other good vanguard options to pair with duca
That's why it's amusing when they start arguing back with nonsense
I would say noshiro might be an option, but Amagi also wouldn't have her at this stage
You want your vg to stall, I think
true, with warkai aquila veneto I just want my vanguard to live as long as possible
I'm really shooting myself in the foot by refusing to use juneau

Yes, you kind of are
I just started on Amagi so kinda need as many golds as possible
Same with Lexy
What abt sandy 
If I had a better laptop I may have considered it
But it can only handle 4 simultaneous instances
@lime rivet I'm about to fight Stagprince, did you wanna see it?

@trail temple yeah. could you grab a recording if possible?
Sure
what rank is he at, out of curiousity? gonna see if i can fight him myself
rank 28
Uploading video now, got two fights, his HP on Enty was roughly 72k (18k heal from Juneau)
How does he do it 
UR toolbox
||he has godrolled hp artifacts||
@lime rivet https://youtu.be/FUloH6Lqj44 - enjoy
Thanks
I think he just has a good gaming chair
Good time to put in a reminder that you can report a user to staff directly via the Belfast bot
Things like Mr Stagprince here don’t tend to be fixed without being brought up 



wdym colluders 
What is “collude”? 
When supposed competitors work together to maximize joint benefits and reduce uncertainty of each other’s plans
I think 



70k enty vs 70k enty 
Somehow managed to do the 1049 strat 
I need one more gold Bullin for muh Duca. Well, two, but got 17k to buy one from PvP Shop. I've grinded over 50k Points at D3, and no Duca drop, fuck my luck lol
w8 monday and exchange 
Working on my Pasta at once for peeveepee. So VV, AQL, and Duca.

Dedication.
not mlb

How to make warspite target her BB shots to the back instead of shooting at the vanguard?
Preload carrier
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
I mean her BB shots and not the skill
Sometimes she fires at the vanguard even if the enemy has a nagato
So no way to force the 2nd and 3rd shots to target the back?
Nop
just nuke the vg before she has to fire 🧠
If you want less targeting RNG then preload and aim at vanguard
French preloads 
akaga + aquila 
That team also has nowhere near enough dmg to kill though
Plus volume of fire out of Richi +VV is very high
More cancer than nontorp save maybe Helena comps

i believe in 
well assuming enty rng just sucks
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
The only way that works is if Hiryuu proc'd before enty strike wave hits
it can happen
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
its really just rng on when i proc enemy fc
Irl Enty wrecked Hiryuu Souryuu Akagi Kaga at Midway
In AL
3/4 of those soft counter enty lol
And Enty only counters Souryuu
Why 831 though
crash 
Battles are more decided by whose vanguard dies than anything else tho 
And 831 cuda surface dmg is 
Better than Fulmar I guess 
also in the miracle rng where i armor break vg and nagato proc 

If 1v1 it is a loss
Not always 
Enty need Hiryuu FC to not be proc by her strike
She launches just before hiryuu planes arrive
does essex absolute evasion stay even if she dies
8 sec is enough for her planes to arrive at end screen
Timings don't line up for that if Enty strike pops FC
Enty needs something other than her strike to pop FC
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
At low health 1v1 then you need intercept planes to line up right
If she can survive fighter and barrage crash she should be fine
In real matches is only soft enty counter ye since if someone else pop FC then Enty has good chance to win
Which most likely fc will be popped by then
If not then something went wrong earlier on
and it’s a loss either way
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
But if you’re using manjuu on enty you are lost no matter what 
There is no justification running it on her 

I think I'd only use one more Manjuu on Seattle or Helena and that's it
just give us an ijn manjuu 
give italian manjuu 
for what lmao
Eldridge can't even take dmg during manjuu
Which is needed for ops rainbow to proc
Woah really 
There are three class of on being hit skills
Best class is skills that pop even on missed shots cause ????
Then there's ones that need to be hit, but 0 dmg hit from HP shields is fine
Then there's ones that need HP to go down to work
Which ones are which? Who tf knows from the description
🍝
CN wiki has an article listing datamine/testing results
Weirdga
@candid sluice
For example of first class is Cheshire or Birmingham Skill
For example of second is Eld or Zara skill
For example of third, all the zombie skills

Wait so basically zara can refresh her shield?
Or does it refer to a shield given to her by another unit
Zara shield has cooldown so no, can't refresh
Also cannot proc on missed shots
However if Lusty or JdA or Aquila shield blocks a shot to 0 dmg, she can still pop her shield when off cooldown, despite the shield absorbing the damage
Bullet shields absorb shots away from chara so no skills proc off them being hit
HP shields actually just set dmg taken to 0
So it’s just a case of spaghetti coding 
Aka literally everything in AL pretty much
Oh okay... good to know
For second case is that when any shield is hit or the specific ships shield
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...
Seems fine to me
luigi + noshiro gona be savage
I mean, I plan to run AQL/VV/WK, JNU/DUCA/NOSH. I think that's a good and balanced team 🤔
High offense and burst, and has high anti-torp qualities.
-WK cause tf is the point anyways? Idk if you can even kill focus target at 25 s barrage lol
+Hiryuu apparently surprisingly good, also you're a semitorp team you need a finisher
+Richi ofc if you wanna double down on slapping vanguard
Where u talking to me? 🤔
Cuz VV/AQL/WK should work out.
I don't see what wk brings to that team 
Aquila ws duo for early snipe
Aquila ws isn't going to snipe shit
it's less crash than percy ws and that needs FdG to work well
VV is not even targeted
That’s why I’m in the fdg team 
I think ur underestimating WK 
WK is just like a torpboat, but another name really
just like how a solo torpboat set up for torps is shit
if you can't hit a threshold for the snipe then it doesn't do enough
All I know is I struggled like 3 times to beat this guy with my own mirror (Seattle instead of YKKZ) in the morning. Then I tried some other configs, kept losing, and then I tried WK, and I somehow won 
I think he might be running double Wyvern, so unless u double Wyvern back, it's sorta an uphill battle with mirror 
Wyvern just that strong 
smh imagine not not doing OS for 3 months
It doesn't help the the current OS Shop cycle did not have a single UR BP. Missing two from 2nd Wyverm
Or just unfortunate enough that you only get rainbow plane from shop UR design
Level 109 duca tanked both airstrikes + final counter 
Guess it's time to put my pearl tears on someone else because she ends up being last alive
Self awareness 
Wel, like I said, she has like 5k base HP at 120/200, on top of the CL PvP bonuses
So if she's tanky at 109, it's reassuring for 120.
She has 132 base EVA with VV at 120.200
With 85 Luck
And u can bump it to 170+ EVA with a Rudder
Always a sight to see the Fox do her thing 
R u using VG that boost AVI/CV?
nope
this is my team
and this was the enemy
his vanguard moved forward so all the wyvern + barrage torps got placed behind and all hit nagato, it was mostly rng tbf, but the damage is still insane.
aquila stronk 
VV/AQL good combo.Then have WK pick off the CV's (U can see she murdering the bunny on lower side).
I feel sniping Hiryuu is better, easier kill 🤔

maybe yea, but my vanguard is pepega underleveled torp memes, so if shinano strikes sometimes they get wiped

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

Is not just that, almost all your crash went to Nagato too
just get good rng like that every fight 
does her buff still last even after she dies?
oh ok I didn't know that
Nagato buff is permanent
Anyways nowadays is pretty typical for Juneau to be only ship that can sometimes do less dmg than Nagato does
That's actually torps lol if you mean Kris gif
Pretty obvious given it's not even the right timing
And you can see there's no shots going in
Well either way, WK would've opened up after
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
Dude, y the hell u hate WK, u know she's good lmao
She was meta for over a year, destealth is the only thing that brought her reign over
Like bruh
I shilled wskai a bunch when she was actually useful in her comp
The current meta doesn't have her be useful
Is she good anyways? Sure
Is she the best option here? Heck no, contribution is too low too late
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
Would be like randomly taking Naganami with Juneau Azuma
Would Naganami still do okay? Sure
Is it the right comp for her? Heck no
VERY sure
Taking Richi or Hiryuu makes much more sense here 
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
I look forwards to this comp just losing to Nanoryuu and/or torpmemes defenses 🤷
If u wanna stick to relying on CV on attack, then have at it
who said anything about relying on CV lol
Nah, just keep using CV's on Attack, it seems u want to stick to it anyway 
I am not
my main shill is Richi VV Aquila lol
If your goal is to snipe a backliner then richy doesn't make sense but I think its better to kill the vanguard fast with that comp, which ws doesn't contribute anything to
Hiryuu I only mention cause someone else tested with it and it worked really well vs torp comp
WK never contributed to VG killing, cuz she always will shoot backline anyway. Richy, eh
WS doesn't even snipe main is the issue
I did use Richy comp for a while, I think it was with WK? Forgot, it was a while ago
you just straight do not have the dmg with WS in this comp to snipe shit reliably
My point being that focusing the backline isn't as effective as focusing the vanguard with aquila comps.
At best you'll kill with 25 s barrage reliably
at worst it won't be til second round of shelling that WS focuses down her target
U should have already killed a CV before then tho 🤔
except you don't?
Percy Warkai FdG was already marginal on killing the target
Have uy tried it urself, or have others have and u've observed?
Aquila does barely any more crash than percy does if you bring VV
Oh, because of PErseus
