safe meteor
#

someone claimed she is T0 along with Juneau as a vanguard

candid sluice
#

I’m not using her rn but I’ve seen combination of rudder + beaver/bulge/radar/manjuu/etc depends on the rest of your fleet too

candid sluice
#

The addition of NJ boosted her up too

safe meteor
#

i mean

#

the only T0 that were listed were Juneau who is definitely T0

#

but Seattle, that i doubt

#

i dont think she is the 2nd best vanguard

candid sluice
#

It’s largely comp based too

#

She’s a part of a top tier fleet

safe meteor
#

which is?

#

NJ, Aquila, VV
Juneau, Duca, Seattle?

sour oasis
#

I'm starting to see non-Juneau NJ fleets. And they're annoying all the same.

#

NJ mafia core is really a team unto itself.

#

NJ Mafia core?

elder crane
elder crane
# spare iron NJ Mafia core?

NJ with VV Aquila Duca
The other quite viable option is full USN, NJ Independence X with probably Juneau Birmingham Seattle

spare iron
#

Hmmm, what makes Birmingham more attractive to bring than say Monty?

elder crane
#

Evasion buff and immunity skill

#

Next preferable is usually actually Columbia

#

Monty skill is both RNG and not even that good so she really just has a bit higher base stats, which is whatever

safe meteor
#

what you think of Reno?

#

10% less dmg taken for herself and ally carriers

wooden pendant
#

shes great in certain comps vs Cv fleets

dull hollow
#

Interesting result

meager valley
sour oasis
# safe meteor what you think of Reno?

I've seen a Reno Sandy Isuzu vanguard once before. It was kinda funny until their backline started to whittle my vanguard down. (Turns out there was enough AA to stop my Perseus from stealth spotting)

lime folio
#

Is there a way I can make this work? (consider them 120)

#

I wanna keep using Azuma since she's my waifu but I also wanna try out Drake

timid current
#

azuma is still good bc of her gun but drake is just not good in pvp

lime folio
#

Hm aight

timid current
#

low damage and no team support

lime folio
#

Guess I'll wait for the PR4 japanese ship

timid current
#

haku is cv

lime folio
#

I mean as another fancy UR to use

timid current
#

aah lol

light crystal
#

Put Juneau lead, Duca middle, and Azuma last

#

It's pretty much T0 at that point, with AQL/NJ/VV as backliners.

timid current
#

i think in this case he just wants half meta half waifu

light crystal
#

I know this cuz there's this guy in Washington that's running a sweaty comp of AQL/VV/NJ, Juneau/Duca/Azuma.

light crystal
#

My WR is only about 60-70% against him, in a test of 20+ battles.

lime folio
#

Too bad Drake isn't useful in PVP, all this hype for nothing 😔

#

atleast she hurts against bosses

timid current
#

yes thats her purpose

#

hard to be meta in both pve and pvp

light crystal
#

Well, I hear they're planning to buff Drake again. I don't expect any high viability for PvP, but can be more consistent in PvE I guess.

Dead what now

Drake and FdG both fall into that pretty much

She’s just a heavy cruiser behind a dr wall YorkBruh

Aren't you still a new player? She came out less than a month ago

candid sluice
#

At least fdg has balls to walls insane dmg output

mint hornet
#

I.e you've played for a month

elder crane
#

Azuma at least has arcing AoE main guns and later on VH armor

flint sun
#

who's a new player

#

I knew everyone currently chatting here for over a month

elder crane
#

Nano for example is also boring af

flint sun
#

ah

#

My team currently just makes nano look like paper

candid sluice
#

Those pr bbs with a gimmick are pretty cool

elder crane
#

Current meta is too much AA and matches too fast

flint sun
#

But not because my team is good or anything

#

their 120 nanos probably aint built right

elder crane
#

My fav of the bunch is odin

flint sun
#

she looks cool af

elder crane
#

Least fav is Izumo since her gimmick is sucking

flint sun
#

I want azuma

#

cuz I wanna use her in PVP, but then I realized

elder crane
#

Probably champ tbh, is surprisingly PortDoll
Even gascan ends up more interesting I feel

flint sun
#

she's PR so I will never ever max her

#

so I'll sticc with noshiro / ykk

candid sluice
#

Champ is kinda fun to manuel with

dull hollow
#

drake is also visually real bland

not even her cheeks skin could save her

candid sluice
#

All she’s got going for her is that she’s strapped AkagiLUL

dull hollow
#

drake's personality is bland
kit is bland
looks are bland

at least fdg has the

mommy thing

and the absolutely gignatic rigging

while having a somewhat interesting self steroid system

flint sun
#

o god she has a mommy vibe?

candid sluice
#

Pistol only redeeming quality abt her

flint sun
#

I've never seen any of her lines

elder crane
#

Anyways odin just doesn't have the straight power or right set of gimmicks to stand out
What she does is just super unique

The community simps hardcore for drek because she’s the best mobbing ca YorkBruh

But literally just roon muse

#

At least room has utility

elder crane
#

Solo she's actually pretty bad

#

Tbf if you don't use the stop or manual the red shields DRake just ends up doing a good deal more dmg herself than roon muse boosts

ROON Muse sounds like a scary egg monster

PR1 speedup can be converted for prototype core currency?

flint sun
#

opened up my game YorkBruh

#

yes

sour oasis
#

120 of those gets you an Azuma/FdG blueprint

flint sun
#

Maybe I should use them for seattle bp's

#

or a weapon

sour oasis
#

Sure. Whatever you need right now.

flint sun
#

I'll ask in help

sour oasis
#

It all depends on your state at the moment: do you need to win now, or do you want to prep some more.

candid sluice
#

Convert em into those blue cores

#

No reason to speedrun pr1 ships if u don’t have sufficient prints for em

sour oasis
#

Until you do and you don't have any PR ships yet

#

With all the event ships since, is there any PR1 ship that's still... Unique? Room is an upgrade to Roon; JdA is similar to Saint; Howe could substitute for Monarch, Luigi outdoes Ibuki, Izumo is Izumo... (Though discounting Event ships, PR1 is still kind of nice.)

No it’s a whole round of preload torps

#

Her barrage is proc chance when firing torps

#

The crit rate is 40% too which is higher than any other ship

only to get sent into pvp weeks later

but then where do you get the 200 affection from?

sour oasis
timid current
#

click the hearts in dorm for 6000 years

#

ez

light crystal
#

They dont go past 90 affection iirc

elder crane
#

Btw barrage has ICD and starts on cooldown so in PvP it won't proc on either preload lol

#

If you want to proc it in PvE it's 5 s ICD iirc and starts on cooldown

sour oasis
elder crane
#

It's with blacktorp since well, it's a second launch

#

So obviously it won't have magnetic effect anymore

crude mortar
sour oasis
#

Ibuki would be a lot more dangerous if those 2 preload were simultaneous

upper cove
#

Ibuki would be a lot more dangerous if she could get the black torp to affect both preloads

dull hollow
#

black THIS

upper cove
elder crane
#

No more torping nothing

sour oasis
#

Yeah, but with what Krazy said, two immediate waves with homing (and increased crit) would be a huge difference maker.

elder crane
#

Well the reason why she doesn't is because torps have delay
One more preload delaying things does make it a bit worse but it was always the case for torpteam that first ship to launch is the one that would most consistently hit

#

That is, this isn't something unique to Ibuki at all, is a fundamental issue limiting torp setups

sour oasis
#

Why can't she be more special Shybuki

#

Having both initial preloads taking homing (either as a special exemption, or being considered simultaneous launch) would make Ibuki more valuable in PvP.

dull hollow

ibuki is special

Noshiro was barely more survivable over Azuma cuz of CV meta favoring CL's. But with resurgence of BB's, Azuma is more consistent

@covert swallow Blessex

covert swallow
flint hound
#

Pretty sure my lineup at the time was Perseus NJ Aquila, with Bel, Suzu and either Yukikaze or Ayanami. But I got distracted and lost to it just now PoWangry

#

A part of it is most likely Aquila being only lvl 109, so she gets demolished super fast. Short of literally using a copy fleet (which I can't do cuz Independence is only lvl 91), could use some ideas outside of throwing anything that might work and hope I eke our a win

flint python
#

I use this to beat pretty much everything , you can switch helena and ykk out for something I'm just using them for defenseShiSleep

covert swallow
#

You could swap perseus for vv maybe if you have her. Also yea aquila being underleveled would be another problem

flint hound
#

Don't know if positioning also matters, but half the time the other NJ barely gets touched

Or just change your defense fleet so he can win @covert swallow BuckySmug

covert swallow
flint hound
#

Don't. While I'm looking to get AotN, it'll feel better if I actually earn it

Perseus dmg also didn't seem to do much, and her gear can't really get much better other than using a Staag AA and +13 everything

Are you using avgas on your carriers

No, I use double gold cats. What's avgas do?

covert swallow

Increase your plane speed and hp

There's also purple aviation oil tank for budget

flint hound
#

So it makes plane fly faster, but doesn't change airstrike reload?

Is the tradeoff of using avgas worth the aviation stat difference between it and t3 steam catapult?

Yes

I'll try avgas, but I swear I'll forget like half the time to switch back to it from cata for pvp

This. And considering she has accelerated reload, and buffs on torps, as well as slowed down torps, true mag torps are like homing mines that slow lock unto targets. It's neat. Putting tea torps on her, outside torp meme VG, which is garbage tbh, is a tactical mistake.

If you want a vanguard that doesn't move, go right ahead

Tbf, we know nothing about how Agir will play. It is highly likely she will be tankier than Azuma though. I suspect the tradeoff will be less DPS, but for PvP purposes, if she's a wall that can actually take punishment and not just keel over, then she may have use.

trail temple
#

One large cruiser in a vanguard, fair call she may be decent depending on what they come up with. But 2 large cruisers, I don't see that working out well with the current meta as well as the lingering remains of IJN fleets running about

Who can replace fdg, she not doing much dmg , i want more dmg

covert swallow

do you have aquila

slender atlas

Yes

covert swallow

aquila is good, or

#

indep retro

flint python
#

Do you also have VV

slender atlas
#

Yes too

flint python
#

Why not just go full mafia

#

You just slot VV , Aquila then replace yuki with ducaBlessex

slender atlas
#

I dk, i try vv aquila but not good as aquila war kai. And now im using this

flint python
#

@covert swallow mafia bad

#

But anyway if Warkai sniping works for you then just use itWarShrug

slender atlas
#

Current team work better but i see fdg always low dmgUzukiiiii

Replace fdg with Aquila see how it goes

Ok

406 for vv?

My current setup. The other setup is Mk7. But honestly, even if I could +13 a Mk7, I dunno if I would tkae it over a Monarch +13.

covert swallow
#

you wouldn't take a +13 mk7 over a monarch +13? DunktsukiStare

light crystal
#

Well, scratch that. Maybe I would. While it is almost 1s slower, it's not 2s 🤔

flint python
#

What's ur NJ gear

#

I would definitely take +13 mk7 over +13 Monarch gun. Sometimes VV just doesn't survive before firing 3rd shot

#

hey guys what up

#

is it me or does it feel like whenever there is a enemy bb or carrier it always hits your vanguard no matter what
and then yours never even touches them

candid sluice
#

You probs have a slow vg then

glossy meteor
#

ya but srsly what is up with my backline not hitting tho

candid sluice
#

Are u using jb or something YorkBruh

glossy meteor
#

no

#

warspite

#

and enty

#

with formi so i can hit van

trail temple
royal oyster
#

the pvp battlefield is not symmetrical AkagiLUL

candid sluice
#

Ya sometimes vg placement can make your tbs drop behind enemy YorkBruh

glossy meteor
#

ya know the new meta is just pain in many ways

trail temple
#

Not really

#

Just old meta

glossy meteor
#

for me i never really did meta but with the old ijn i could rng through it

#

and with the carrier buff i could atleast last and kill the enemy van but dear god aquila

#

its not the damage just the fact your carriers are revealed and unless you have a quick strike carrier theirs not

candid sluice
#

Just shoot their planes smh

trail temple
#

We already had percy prior to that

flint python
#

Wdym by never touches? Enemy too fast or something? Your planes got deleted?

glossy meteor
#

welp for some reason it just does like no damage

#

enemy too fast

flint python
#

You have proper gear equipped? Lvl120s?

trail temple
#

Just poor optimisation

glossy meteor
#

most levels 120 the only excpetion is jenaue

#

im not super hard into pvp but still its just hurts

#

honestly im glad i can pause and quit cause the losing screen sucks

#

but srsly new meta just hurts in so many ways for me

trail temple
#

Run triple BB and high AA

#

AA go pew pew, aquila does nothing

#

gg ez

flint python
#

This kind of hurt

glossy meteor
#

the problem isn't aquila but just nj dps and vv
i also had to deal with the duca that used hms torps

#

in 4k

#

not power but ranks the hell

flint python
#

You can start by actually using better pvp ships

trail temple
#

It's early days, all the good players aren't going to be in the top 100 for you to avoid

sinful pewter
#

if you kill their front line, then your backline can only target their backline tamaSmart

trail temple
#

So yeah, actually not a surprise

glossy meteor
#

ya i guess that makes sense

#

and yes i know use better pvp ships that will fix it

#

but am i not the only one who this that the defeat screen sucks

trail temple
#

Depends on the perspective

#

If I see someone showing me their defeat screen after my fleet yanked a win away from them, I am elated

glossy meteor
#

i guess but really in a way it feels insulting

flint python
#

Knowing you walled peopleBuckyPride feelsAkagiLUL

glossy meteor
#

ya can't really get that feeling

#

but the pvp meta basically went to who can dps faster

trail temple
#

:alwayshasbeen:

covert swallow
#

I much prefer pvp now

#

rather than hiryuu vs hiryuu ShinanoSleep

glossy meteor
#

never really had hiryuu so i just had to hope for good rng with enty

flint python
#

Wait till attack advantage gets removedAkagiLUL

glossy meteor
#

and that was the thing i could atleast try to rng my way through before but now nope
not a chance in hell for that

#

also attack advantage

covert swallow
glossy meteor
#

hold on whats that

sinful pewter
#

imagine having a full 120 lineup

glossy meteor
#

whats attack advantage

MutsukiHyperStare I feel like I've seen this convo before deja vu

And ya the wonky vg placement is bs YorkBruh

glossy meteor
#

oh honestly defending just kinda sucks cause no matter what i have to hope that if they are running torp memes that they miss or my juneua just tanks with sucks cause i now lose a decent chunk of healing

candid sluice
#

Newer pasta meta definitely will make newer players struggle

#

The sheer dmg dump they do 5sec into the match is too much for some

glossy meteor
#

well i have been playing a while i just never was super hard in pvp

#

honestly i could be making tons of optimazations for my fleets in pvp and just in pve

sinful pewter
#

do you have nj and the italians?

yes nj not at max i have two dupes but i need to level up

itailians the necessary ones yes but again levels

Rushers lose 50% of games YorkBruh

glossy meteor
#

hurts a lot since my backline ususaly syncs with it and i often deal with 5 luckyEs in a row

#

from the enemy

glossy meteor
#

ok explain

glossy meteor
leaden sky
#

You want those rushers to get higher but they end up losing to preload comps instead

glossy meteor
#

what is the diff between a rusher and preload?

candid sluice
#

Rusher is a player

leaden sky
#

Rushers are players who rush

flint python
candid sluice
#

The ppl who do their tickets close to reset times

glossy meteor
#

that is why i usually try to time it so i do 5 exercises at about 20 mins before reset

candid sluice
#

That’s not rushing YorkBruh

glossy meteor
#

hmm so like what 5 mins before

trail temple
#

5 mins after reset

glossy meteor
#

explain

candid sluice
#

5 min - 30 min

glossy meteor
#

after a reset?

covert swallow
#

people who do their pvps right after they get them

candid sluice
#

They rush their tickets so they can get higher ranks easier

leaden sky
glossy meteor
#

oh i thought i was better to wait and have them at max since you get nocked down

covert swallow
#

they rush all 5 tickets so they can screenshot at rank 1, 2 mins after a reset

glossy meteor
#

but they just get kicked down so why

flint python
candid sluice
#

For rushing those rank bonuses

#

Easier time getting merits

trail temple
#

It lets them gain a rank they may have not been able to get otherwise

leaden sky
#

More like some of them dont really care with ranks, they just care for pvp points

candid sluice
#

Also to flex their rank 1 with 300 score thinking they cool YorkBruh

glossy meteor
#

highest i got at like a end of season i think i was in top 100

flint python
#

Pvp isn't cool anywayAkagiLUL

tbh not that i think about it why do i even do pvp

flint python

PurinsYorkBruh

glossy meteor

i guess

flint python
#

But yeah merit , who knows what they might add to the shop in the future

candid sluice
#

Requires more brain than 80% of the game

glossy meteor

that is true i suppose if you have high enough level your usaully good except for like ex stages

I just chase after leaderboards cus going thru game gets boring quick YorkBruh

Nah its a sideshow u do if you're bored of letting game run in background

ah of course a good offense is a good offense

what are your opinions on stealth in pvp? should it be removed? Trying to explain to a friend that the devs don't really care about pvp that much but they keep raging about the CV stealth mechanic making them invulnerable WarShrug

trail temple
#

It's perfectly fine?

#

and basically inconsequential if you have Aquila

#

Or Percy

candid sluice
#

It’s fine but might as well not be there when Aquila is all over the place

#

And you’re never “forced” to use a carrier to reveal since there are other methods of revealing although not as effective

flint python

It's fine tbh

yeah thought so ty

trail temple
#

I wonder how that would interact with Hiryuu

candid sluice
#

Does final counter negate the dmg that would sink her?

light crystal
#

I dont think Agir's gun will be rainbow. We could get a rainbow Fighter, but ehhhh. I think Rainbow converging TB would make most sense from the IJN, and would fill the niche nicely.

candid sluice
#

Yeah it’s probably a rainbow fighter

#

Rainbow converging would make the ppl who +13 7 ryuuseis mald

flint python
#

I have 4 +13 ryuusei to scrap

crude mortar
#

rainbow fighter with 0s intercept cd

light crystal
#

Whot the fuck does that DunktsukiStare

#

Other than the Zero, I don't know of any other good IJN fighter 🤔

#

Also, they weren't known for their DB's, and their current DB's don't have large bomb payloads

#

Currently in the game they got the niche (Other than the german TB Junkers) for the best converging torps

candid sluice
#

A lot of people +13ed the gold tbs for meta fights

elder crane
#

only the clowns did the ryuus rather than stukas smh

candid sluice
#

Funny thing is if the rainbow converging is slower than junkers it might not even be used YorkBruh

elder crane
#

depends on the dmg
running sub 20 s load is already ehh

brazen socket
#

Okay so the rainbow gear for pr4 is a rainbow fighter

#

That could mean Aquila is guaranteed to win detection war no matter what

candid sluice
#

Will have to see it’s speed and hp

flint python
light crystal
#

I wonder if it will really be a rainbow Fighter tho. gonna be pretty boring if so tbh lol

flint python
#

I want db MonarchSad

elder crane
#

seems like rainbow fighter confirmed

light crystal
#

Why they do this

#

WHhyyyyyy

elder crane
#

oh? nvm I got baited

light crystal
#

TB?

#

Pretty please?

elder crane
#

it's a TB or a DB yep
unknown which since it didn't say armament, but name is a bomber

timid current
#

like you care about converging torps aoste lol

light crystal
#

I see

elder crane
#

yeah if it's aimed TB then is WarShrug

light crystal
#

Like, it would be nice if it's TB, and converging at that

elder crane
#

an AP DB probably is WarShrug too

light crystal
#

So u got Wyvern for parallel, and IJN rainbow for Converging

timid current
#

pve is too ez now anyways

#

need more pvp power creep with DB

elder crane
#

apparently it's a fighter with converging torps

timid current
#

wait what

elder crane
#

would be weird though

#

cause in WoWS that plane is not a fighter

#

but confirmed it uses aimed torps I think

timid current
#

i think if it was a fighter with torps they would have been parallel so its probably just a tb

elder crane
#

Haku is 342 but super weird
can run TB in fighter slot
can run DB in TB slot

light crystal
#

Actually

#

I could get behind that

elder crane
#

I think it was confused with how haku slots worked

light crystal
#

So new rainbow equip is Fighter with converging Torps rather than Bombs?

elder crane
#

not confirmed

elder crane
#

I think is likely someone confused it with Haku slots

#

cause Haku slot 1 is fighter or TB

light crystal
#

Wait

#

She can slot 9 TB's?

elder crane
#

no

#

she has to run 4 DB

light crystal
#

🤔

elder crane
#

slot 1 with 3 planes is Fighter or TB

light crystal
#

Oh

elder crane
#

slot 3 with 2 planes is TB or DB

light crystal
#

Ok, better question: Can she have true preload strike like AQL/Perseus can in any way?

#

That will answer her PvP viability

elder crane
#

I don't see anyone mentioning it so probably nah

light crystal
#

Ok, Mafia meta it is then BuckyPride

#

Now Im excited about Anchorage 🤔

elder crane
#

SAP BB gun for Marco Polo
85/140/115
sounds meh, if stats aren't amazing it's whatever

light crystal
#

I hope she doesnt disappoint and can have viability

elder crane
#

is MGM+1 so can't be that bad
idk about other stats tho so idk about PvP

candid sluice
#

Lmao called it sap gun for Marco Polo

#

Will melt carriers not named shinano

elder crane
#

is only 140% vs medium though

candid sluice
#

Higher than any other BB gun

elder crane
#

that's same as champ gun and I think lower than 457

#

457 is 145% yep

candid sluice
#

Is it really Ehhssex

#

Well nvm then

elder crane
#

it just has higher mod vs light but still shitty and it probably has triple gun reload

radiant brook
#

Haku dosen't have preload

candid sluice
#

Unless Marco herself has buff using that gun

radiant brook
#

But her planes ignore mods

candid sluice
#

Where’s the datamine send the link YorkBruh

elder crane
#

yeah but chance that marco is good enough for PvP is not that high

elder crane
candid sluice
#

Keep me posted pls

elder crane
#

okay yeah seems like confirmed it's rainbow fighter with torps

elder crane
#

seems weird to me since Haku can just run 4 DB 5 TB already

candid sluice
#

Wtf torp payload

light crystal
candid sluice
#

What’s the alpha dmg and reload

light crystal
#

Worth farming for sure for peeveepee

candid sluice
#

But if it has the same drop location as wyvern YorkBruh

elder crane
candid sluice
#

Dropping behind vg half the time

#

Those planes look weird

elder crane
candid sluice
#

That might be even worse tbh

elder crane
#

italian twin 90 mm Thinkpitz
not sure if just filler
quite possibly since confimed staag is back for PR4

candid sluice
#

Probably another gun similar to pr1 aa

#

But italian equips = bis

light crystal
#

Cuz tbh, it's not like DB's are any better, they're random

#

These would at least track

elder crane
#

yeah 2x1k bombs is mmmmm ehhhh

#

aimed TB probably better anyways

light crystal
#

THey may also have special properties, maybe semi magnetism, they travel fast, they drop in a X pattern, etc

elder crane
#

is very unlikely since is already gimmick

#

note also Haku has a second plane, I haven't seen any news on that

light crystal
#

Well, we'll see

elder crane
#

Anchorage didn't get a new equipment tho AkagiLUL
guess her stuff is all in game already

light crystal
#

Haku is probably gonna be an OK pick in pvp at the least, not optimal, dont expect T0, but maybe around T1-2, same as Shinano currently is

elder crane
#

yeah seems like basically another Nano

is going to be great for PvE probably

dull hollow

inb4 she's just saint louis or ibuki tier

but PvP will be PortDoll unless something interesting comes up

light crystal
#

Anchorage uses Baltimore guns

Which are already buildable in Gear Lab

So....

elder crane

and her secondaries/AA is also already ingame

we got vanguard version of Odin gun now though

i shilled it first

Datamine's out, btw

and everyone was like "nah she'll always lose to preload and her barrage is worse than warspite"
