For pr4 univ prints

light crystal
#

I think Quad mags are gonna be fine. Baguette torps might be needed for NJ barrage, gonna hafta see

dull hollow
#

i mean i also

#

only have so many quad mags

#

to goa round

#

so

#

if I can just slap a random shitter torp on big fluffy

#

and look away

#

like how I slap the 406 Normal ammo on Muse Gascan

#

ill do it

light crystal
#

U can get those from KMS gold crates

dull hollow
#

do u know

elder crane
#

quad mags = 20 s shield
blocks aquila strike 2 I guess

dull hollow
#

how rare that is

#

ive seen like 3 drop

#

life time

elder crane
#

but I think is more important to smoke up for NJ barrage

light crystal
#

Or also whale from those Universal gold crates u buy from Akashi

elder crane
#

weeeeel

dull hollow
#

u can craft them in meta lab tho

elder crane
#

meanwhile

dull hollow
#

so

#

i built like 5

#

but i rly dont wanna build more

elder crane
#

I have had 10 drop from crate pretty sure

candid sluice
dull hollow
#

i opened like

elder crane
#

and I have like 300+ gold KMS crate

dull hollow
#

all 1.2k of my golden kms crates

#

i got 3

elder crane
#

back in DC

dull hollow
#

15 fucking quints tho

elder crane
#

I opened ~50

dull hollow
elder crane
#

to get 5

candid sluice
#

Did u enjoy your 500 messers

elder crane
#

I got 1 quint

#

and like 5 quad gold mags

#

I think I have like 12-14 now

light crystal
#

So build for Ancho: Drakegun, Baguette torps, STAAG (Cuz lol AA), Rudder/Kicks/Boiler.

#

I dont think u wanna be that fast tho?

#

Cuz u can move out from smoke, right?

candid sluice
#

Anchovy doesn’t even have good aa??

#

Wtf

dull hollow
#

her job is to make ur front unkillable

#

that's about it

#

why would u even drake gun her

covert swallow
#

because why wouldn't you

dull hollow
#

i mean if ur swimming in 3-5 sure

candid sluice
#

U running multiple heavy cruisers in pvp? YorkBruh

dull hollow
#

we on that

#

ibuki azuma big fluffy life

candid sluice
#

Yes give 234 to azuma YorkBruh

light crystal
#

She loses AA mounts so she can have 4x 203mm's instead of Balti's 3x 203mm's

dull hollow
#

but in actuality swapping the drake gun to a CA for just pvp is like way too silly

and big fluffy has no shelling steroid and only average shelling performance

#

so ill just stick like the

twin barrel HE gun from some event ago on her

#

and call it a day

#

or the pr3 normal ammo

light crystal
dull hollow
#

keep it on drake

light crystal
#

Not PvE, cuz fuck that shit kek

dull hollow
#

who else is trash clearing for u

#

in opsi

light crystal
#

Not Drake

dull hollow
light crystal
#

So yeah, sucks being u I guess

dull hollow
#

if it werent drake it would

#

whoever that CA is

light crystal
dull hollow
#

unless ur gonna run Azuma and Agir

candid sluice
#

You could always ya know swap equips

covert swallow
#

my mob clear for strongholds is just torp boats + preload backlines

#

who need CA EntyLUL

dull hollow
#

torp botes

candid sluice
#

Not using opsi mobs for lvling up smh

dull hollow
#

how do u kill the bosses

candid sluice
#

Perseus

covert swallow
#

^

light crystal
dull hollow
#

i mean like

light crystal
candid sluice
#

She singlehandedly wipes 90% of opsi content lmao

dull hollow
#

even with fdg nj and azuma drake jda front

#

i sometimes lose ships to stronghold bosses

#

and the very occasional tirpitz in corr 6 first time clear

#

how u get by with torp shitters in the front

candid sluice
#

Ya tirp is nightmare for lvling vg

dull hollow
#

my definition of opsi trash clear is everyone that's not a Beacon boss btw

#

since i just want to press auto on 1 guy and never look away

#

cant think of any torp botes that provide tangible torps while being tanky enough to survive

covert swallow
#

duca

dull hollow
#

considering that both drake and azuma even with jda

candid sluice
#

What’s beacon boss

dull hollow
#

occasionally run it down

#

and die

#

in strongholds

candid sluice
#

Regular map zone bosses Percy can take out by herself

elder crane
#

okay this is aaaaaaaaa

candid sluice
#

I don’t use mobs in abyssal lol

elder crane
#

MP does do both barrage herself

#

for the 9+3

dull hollow
#

so it's

#

back to 12

elder crane
#

imma just go to sleep

#

and come back tomorrow

candid sluice
#

Ya but cross fleet lol

dull hollow
#

place ur bets everyone

#

will big fluffy

candid sluice
#

Real question which ship u guys focusing first

dull hollow
#

be preload

#

or not

#

doesnt matter it's all BP gated

candid sluice
#

Cus I have no idea who to go for

#

Exp grind wise

dull hollow
#

i pick and choose whoever based off my ships im leveling in the pipeline

#

so most likely big fluffy because the USN shitters

#

from nj event

candid sluice
#

Fair enough

dull hollow
#

have coasted into 115

#

off dorm

#

so they are ready to go outside

candid sluice
#

What’s Marco Polo gimmick btw

#

The cross fleet shit?

elder crane
#

150% vs medium

#

not as shit as AP vs light

crude mortar
#

is the new plane actually good?

dull hollow
elder crane
#

also beeg eff on guns

elder crane
crude mortar
#

wait

#

is it dive bomber?

dull hollow
#

yes

elder crane
#

UR DP yep

dull hollow
crude mortar

elder crane
#

candid sluice
#

10 face prints lmao

crude mortar
#

+13 gold hell driver x3

dull hollow
#

why would you indeed

crude mortar
covert swallow
#

it's from research tho

#

so gotta get 50bps PortDoll

elder crane
candid sluice
#

I only did 2 thank fucek

#

One more than I should’ve done

dull hollow
#

im -13 my wyvern anyway

elder crane
#

I'm +13 my *second wyvern anyways

candid sluice
elder crane
#

dw in 6 month

crude mortar
#

what is the reload speed compare to gold helld

elder crane
#

I'll have enough print

#

to +13 this shit too

#

12 s base

crude mortar
#

is it slower

elder crane
#

also also

covert swallow
elder crane
#

rocket fighter

covert swallow
#

24% chance armor break

elder crane
#

KMS fighter has rockets

#

4 of them per plane

candid sluice
#

That’s sick

#

Is it like ticon rockets

#

Or tb

elder crane
#

the AB this time actually matters yeah

#

cause 3x24%

#

per plane

elder crane
candid sluice
#

Nice

#

Almost guarantee hit

elder crane
#

mods iirc is skew towards medium though since AP rockets?

crude mortar
#

man

#

if anchorage is CL

dull hollow
#

think i would still pick the 1000lb fighters tho

crude mortar
#

this ship gonna be legit in pvp

elder crane
#

110/140/50

elder crane
dull hollow
#

just due to radius coverage

crude mortar
#

in pvp?

candid sluice
#

What’s load time compared to experimental

crude mortar
#

are you sure you want that smoke

elder crane
#

yeah she pops immunity at start

#

and then again for NJ barrage or Aquila strike

#

whichever you want

dull hollow
elder crane
#

oh right that thing

dull hollow
#

other sources dont have preload in their data

light crystal
#

@elder crane So AQL/NJ/MP, Juneau/Ancho/Seattle is legit eh?

dull hollow
#

if no preload her value drops half off a cliff

elder crane
#

if it's not at start them mmmm

#

yeah

#

is still probably okay

candid sluice
#

So what’s anchovy’s role in pvp

dull hollow
#

still has some value but a lot of it was lost

crude mortar
#

does she had x2 preload torp or 1

#

cant read moonroon

elder crane
#

if it works as proper

candid sluice
#

No preload apparently

crude mortar
#

what

dull hollow
#

if the moonrunes on dim is correct there is preload

#

if it's not

#

there's no preload

crude mortar
#

anchorage no preload?

dull hollow
#

there are other CN mine posted

#

that do not have the preload text

#

in theirs

#

for big fluffy rage

elder crane
#

yeah is either one preload a la duckies or none

dull hollow
#

yeah

crude mortar
dull hollow
#

that's dim text

#

see the other CN mine

elder crane
#

yeah that's one source

dull hollow
#

no text

#

is up in the air

candid sluice
#

Is cn trolling us again YorkBruh

dull hollow
#

u could probably run suztsuki and big fluffy

#

for memes

candid sluice
#

Eh they’re all blueprint gated anyways see u all in 1-2 months for first dev30s

elder crane
#

1 month wut

elder crane
#

tbf is new research system so who knoooows

dull hollow
#

jp server has the worst PR rates so

elder crane
#

something something rebalanced so gold rarity projects actually good now

dull hollow
#

ill let u guys know in 3-4 month

candid sluice
#

If u can get 10 prints in one face

elder crane
#

my guess is

candid sluice
#

I don’t see why u can’t

elder crane
#

rebalansed

#

so blue rarity projects

#

now all 🚮

candid sluice
#

But how does the rates affect blue cube

dull hollow
#

for some reason jp always gets shitter rates in cross global gacha

#

honkai's is atrocious

elder crane
candid sluice
#

Speculation time

dull hollow
#

whos ready for the new DB meta

#

1 yr from now

#

everyone stacking DB

crude mortar
#

just use alot of aa stat

timid current
#

when we get a ship with 3 db slots

light crystal
#

So Ancho's Proload torps are not a sure thing? But if Dim's datamine has it, then it should be true ThinkZed

dull hollow
#

Haku

#

is a ship

#

with 3 DB slots

timid current
dull hollow
#

i think?

#

maybe i blind

#

ah nvm

#

her slot 1

#

not

#

she can hold

#

7 dive bomber tho

#

er

#

nvm

timid current
#

🚮

dull hollow
#

wait is it 23 4

#

or 3 4 2

candid sluice
#

424 YorkBruh

covert swallow
#

I'm just gonna assume she gets preload torp at dev10 since it's in dims datamine

#

until someone can prove me wrong

dull hollow
#

there's already

#

other CN mine

#

which according to 3c fwiw

is more accurate than dim histoircallly

#

no preload

candid sluice
#

What other differences are there

dull hollow
#

oh haku is 2 4 4 if u go DB

#

but if u go torps on her

#

it's like...

#

2 4 2 LUL

candid sluice
#

Literally db nano

dull hollow
#

rly hard to say if her barrage is gonna make noise or not

light crystal
#

Well, I'm going to be running on assumption of Preload. Gonna know for sure in a few hours. If not, that's going to make me recalculate priority

dull hollow
crude mortar
#

wait

covert swallow
#

yea I'm going anchorage, and if she doesn't have preload torps I'll just do something else instead

crude mortar
#

does anchorage give shield to herself only?

dull hollow
crude mortar
#

it doesn;t say give shield to whole vg

crude mortar
spark galleon
#

Anchorage has a preload in her little practice sim thing

light crystal
#

Ok

#

Priority set then

dull hollow
#

dim wins

covert swallow
#

thank you

dull hollow
#

in my wholesome manjuu chat

candid sluice
#

Is that a su*cide reference NimiPing

dull hollow
#

no

waxen lion
dull hollow
#

well dim's been wrong before as well so it was pretty much up in the air

#

glad that she got her preload tho

lime folio
#

Back to IJN chad

flint python
candid sluice
trail temple
#

You can do that

#

In fact I'll promote it to everyone for you

light crystal
#

The deciding factor for her being Tier 0-1 was always going to be whether she had a true Preloaded airstrike or not. So as-is, she's Tier 1.5-3 at best.

karmic forum
#

Is this confirmed?

elder crane
#

You didn't see my later comment?
At the time apparently MP fired both barrage so it is 9+3
Not sure if changed now, I don't think so?

karmic forum
#

Dim still has the original numbers including the cross-fleet barrage on S1

flint python
forest lake
#

how good is suzu in dealing with the meta?

#

is her smoke too slow

uncut agate
#

She's good

candid sluice
#

It times well against preload

forest lake
#

ic

#

i was thinking anchorage would be good for the meta

#

pair up with agir and azuma to delibrately slow down the fleet so they stay in the smoke

candid sluice
#

She definitely has potential

#

Requires some testing first

#

Agir azuma is asking to get blasted by torps

forest lake
#

hopefully 40% eva rate helps

#

or perhaps marco polo can help with that

elder crane
#

I'd rec JdA over one of the others or NJ 10 s barrage can wreck that

#

Especially since all med/heavy means SHS portion can nuke too

candid sluice
#

Yeah nj barrage melts slow vgs

elder crane
#

Exactly
But I guess Anchorage fast torp can cover NJ normal reload and then JdA can cover 10 s barrage

#

Doesn't seem completely unreasonable

candid sluice
#

So new meta vanguard is immunity and smokescreens? YorkBruh

flint python
#

StallingPortDoll

elder crane
candid sluice
#

Yeah looks like that vg has zero damage output lol

thin cosmos
#

hi everyone long time no see. Since I grew NJ thinking about change team.

#

Aq/NJ should be fixed but not sure other 4

candid sluice
#

Hi welcome back

#

Who are your options?

thin cosmos
#

italinan torp damage reducing combo or traditional IJN torp+fdg or current suzu/azuma/Juneau +fdg

candid sluice
#

Well the two big fleets around now are Italians (Aquila vittorio duca) and mafia (basically Italian with nj Seattle)

thin cosmos
#

for Italian, what about other3?

#

and about mafia?

candid sluice
#

Those three are pretty much whole Italian fleet other three you can slot in whoever

#

And mafia is literally those three Italians with nj seattle juneau

thin cosmos
#

so seattle repalced azuma and steal tanking vg

#

now I see what's going on there

candid sluice
#

You could say that

#

How long have you been away for?

thin cosmos
#

hmm I was here when AQ

#

Korean server change meta very slow so veneto and duca almost not seen yet

candid sluice
#

You should be the first

#

It would make a lot of people upset BiskoLUL

thin cosmos
#

but aren't they counter for torp?

#

no one use torp, then what is good point for reducing torp damage?

candid sluice
#

NJ damage resistance and torp bulges

#

That’s why Seattle is used now to receive nj buffs and being great ship overall

thin cosmos
#

the problem is oath((

#

some of new meta ships are already 120 without oath and makes me sick

candid sluice
#

That’s unfortunate but what can you do YorkBruh

thin cosmos
#

ok thx for info and I should test my self

candid sluice
#

Would definitely be nice to see your testings again

#

Especially since I don’t have my own Aquila to test with YorkBruh

thin cosmos
#

aquila and NJ doesn't need test

#

definitely OP

candid sluice
#

I meant more like testing fleet compositions with them in it

thin cosmos
#

aha I see.

#

but I have to grow veneto and duca

candid sluice
#

They will be quick to raise no worries

thin cosmos
#

also no good sandbags l

candid sluice
#

They’re strong ships regardless

thin cosmos
#

so plz don't expect videos as before

candid sluice
#

No worries we have a lot of time

#

Especially with a whole new season of pr

#

Speaking of which does kr get that update?

thin cosmos
#

I don't know when

candid sluice
#

You guys don’t have maintenance right now?

thin cosmos
#

yes!

#

only helena meta come in this week

candid sluice
#

Wow you guys are way behind

thin cosmos
#

😩

elder crane
#

btw would be interesting to test out suitorps with mafia

#

yes the standard comp has a good amount of torp red built in

#

and yes the setup so far seems to work anyways

#

jun naga duca or duca naga seattle etc idk what ends up optimal for that

candid sluice
#

Does uss have any torp botes

elder crane
#

no
that's an option too
just screw it and go full torps
sounds sketch though

thin cosmos
#

so what you want to test is torp can overcome torp reduction?

elder crane
#

nah the idea behind suitorps is that in this kind of meta, vanguard survivability maybe doesn't matter so much
as in NJ/VV just guns down anything anyways

#

so if can trade off excess survivability for some other impact, could be good

#

torps still do a fair bit of dmg despite the reductions
is better than pushing through a higher HP seattle or whatnot who still just dies to secondaries anyways while not doing much, is the idea

#

aurora is another thing I was considering

thin cosmos
#

I see what you are saying

#

and it's quite obvious so I thought it was already tested

elder crane
#

it was tested with italians but I don't see anyone testing it with mafia

#

last time something like this was run was back in WaSD meta so PortDoll

thin cosmos
#

what about auxi for back line?

#

2 aggressive or evasion return?

flint python
dull hollow
#

wdym

#

that's the only gear i use on my back

#

dps only

bright helm
#

Why did I get 13 rank points and not +15 if my opponent was 100 lower than me?

candid sluice
#

Because you attacked someone lower rank than you

bright helm
#

He was rank 36 and mine 145

#

I even closed the app before attacking

#

R28 and I r40, 12 points sadge

delicate owl
#

oh that's because you're already a captain

#

12 is the base points there

bright helm
#

Thought 15 was for every rank, that makes sense

light crystal
#

Gotta thin down CV airstrikes so Backline doesn't take as much damage from them 🤔

#

If it means chancing NJ's 10s barrage with VG, so be it

dull hollow
#

"fixed PR rates btw"

#

see u all in 10 years

light crystal
#

Only pvp worthy ships are Ancho and MP anyway UniSip

#

Well, the strongest, probably. Interestingly enough, all PR girls from this PR generation have viability this time.

dull hollow
#

blue face

#

august's slow looks like it lines up such that it freezes enemy

#

when ryuusei get dropped

#

idk if sim stages carry over in practice

#

also keep in mind distancing in pvp is rly weird as well

#

but she has no prelaod so i dont see it other than a meme comp

#

so is haku a 2 4 4 or 2 4 2 if u go DB focused

#

idk how it works

flint sun
#

is azuma better than seattle in the PVP meta with duca, nj, aquila, etc? who should I focus?>

#

(idk if that meta died yet idk lol)

uncut agate
#

Seattle fs5 is better

upper cove
dull hollow
#

even tho it says

#

+2db

#

on her thingy

#

i read somewhere that the +2 doesnt affect

#

the other slot

upper cove
#

When it says +2 dbs it's referring to what the slots are at default, and also it has nothing to do with what's in the slot at all from a code perspective AkagiLUL

royal oyster

she's 3/4/2

Also ya what vice said, I thought she had +1 tbs for a minute there

Will see if I get the legendary 10 prints

do any of the PR ships

lmao no

dull hollow

lmao i gues the rainbow gear rate is still a meme then

candid sluice
#

I did 30min rigging too kinda disappointing YorkBruh

#

Some luccsac in guild has like 4 rainbow db prints tho

candid sluice
#

@dull hollow yeah gold faces scaled quite a bit

flint sun

wait so what was changed from the usual researches?

#

I got like 4 more gold bp's than usual

wooden pendant

alot if u want go to gameplay-help pins for full details

I'm intending to get both Ancho and MP to try out 🤔

dull hollow

light crystal
#

I've been spamming some Cubesearch here and there

#

I really don't like it that the D700's dont give random BP's anymore, I liked it the way before more tbh

dull hollow
#

im pretty convinced

#

overall BP progress

#

will be slower this season

#

becasue no more randsom

light crystal
#

I agree

#

Because regular Cubesearch is still random, you're incentivized to do more of those in order to increase BP rates overall. I've got the cubes for that, like lots of other do, but the main issue is they don't give equip BP's, so u fall behind on those now

#

Before, u could just do D research, get good source of both girl and equip BP's, but not anymore

worldly cape
#

I realized Independence Retrofit isn't too reliable when attacking because most of the time her barrage torps spawn right behind the enemy vanguard

#

Does she still slap hard? Yes

all attack cvs derp like that

it's ok the wyverns will bully the backline for 2.2-3k+

depending on what target they hit

since when

wonder if we can time august memes

for pvp then

it's been showing launch speed for a very long time now

Yeah, Cubesearch is the way to go. RIP getting equips done tho ♿

ive got a

let's see here it leads

It leads here ||🪦||

which one hits harder

#

fair

#

I saw a pic of one that dropped 7 prints?
only two of which were DR
SiriusCry

light crystal
candid sluice
#

What’s the drop table of G projects

#

U could get both ship and equip prints from them

light crystal
#

U mean the non faced ones?

#

Could be a strat

candid sluice
#

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking

#

Since those should still drop prints from multiple ships

#

D projects only drop for the ship face on it

#

So if u wanted to complete the whole season u would need to take a variety of Ds

light crystal
#

I like it more the old way

#

Should've given us the choice to have this new assortment, or the previous one tbh

candid sluice
#

Yeah I kinda prefer old too but I can see where devs were coming from with the change

#

U can blame those players whining abt pr grind for the changes YorkBruh

dull hollow
#

so

tangentially related to my ticonderga adventures in 12-4

#

a solo kizuna ai at level 116 can kill the 12-4 boss too

#

time to use kizuna ai in pvp

#

conformed

light crystal
#

Which is fair, but muh equips Wotspite

candid sluice
#

I mean cube sinking was the fastest way with or without the changes

#

And yea no equipment blows

dull hollow
light crystal
#

But the current changes incentivise even more Cubesearch than before tho

dull hollow
#

10 cube seems

light crystal
#

Maybe I should just be prioritizing Cubesearch then

dull hollow
#

Eh

#

Dev 30 is one time

#

Gear is forever

#

I stick to coins

light crystal
#

🤔

dull hollow
#

Esp since rumor that the db also intercept

#

Like wyvern

light crystal
#

But the thing is getting advtange early for peeveepee

#

You're here, u should know of the tryhard ways DunktsukiStare

dull hollow
#

If u want pvp

#

Coin make even more sense

#

Always grab the face of big fluffy

#

Or marco

light crystal
#

There doesnt seen to be anything critical other than the planes tho

#

And I already got my AQL with 3 planes +13

#

So eh

dull hollow
#

The rockets fighter can also make splash

#

Last pr3 i did lots of cube

Tho mostly coz purple gold coins research

#

So bad

#

So u take blue or purple to shuffle

I've been spamming Q's as much as possible

#

I never pay attention

light crystal
#

So far

#

Q's are the 1/2/4h Research u pay plates for

elder crane
light crystal
#

The issue is you still want AA on ur VG, to tank Airstrikes with

#

This is why I've been thinking Imma drop VV, cuz she just doesn't tank well. I'm going to test MP and see how well she does. Alternatives are WK, FDG and maybe even Amagi.

elder crane
#

Meh
Aquila is only 1/3
And if vs indep-an essex, I don't think that setup is good period, if that team is good you'd run something else

light crystal
#

Regardless wut u do, AQL is needed. NJ also, for DPS. Then that leaves the third ship. MP, FDG, WK and Amagi are th current contenders I'm thinking about

#

Perseus deletion ability will increase now because of the new Fighters

elder crane
#

If 2 BB is the meta then AA is not super critical
Aquila only represent 1/3 of the dmg at best anyways

light crystal
#

I think you still want to have good AA

#

Well, the new planes look really good tho

elder crane
#

Aquila 4/8 slots are still wyvern

light crystal
#

So u probably would want to want to defend against those

elder crane
#

DB is only in 6 months pretty much

#

And german fighter is maybe nice but only 2 lower eff planes

light crystal
#

Perseus is gonna be a real nuke with them + Wyverns now

elder crane
#

Plus with steath AA helps much less

#

Percy is maybe interesting again yeah, we'll see

light crystal
#

Ancho should counter against that

elder crane
#

But idk if delete vanguard matters much these days

light crystal
#

So the dynamic will be interesting

elder crane
#

Which german fighter is only good for that

#

Is my main concern about anchorage
Yes can survive longer as vanguard
And then?
Med armor doesn't survive much more vs BB secs either

light crystal
#

Ancho + new planes will change the meta for sure

elder crane
#

Anchorage is good probably but doesn't change how team works I think

#

Is still going to be issue that vanguard pushed through with more HP, and then... what exactly WarShrug
Current experience points to it not being a massive deal

#

Unless can somehow leverage it

light crystal
#

The team that loses their VG first is at a major disadvantage

elder crane
#

That was the idea with Azuma Agir since both maybe do enough damage to matter

#

In current meta? Not that much

#

Cause secs gun down stuff real fast

#

2 Half HP stall vanguard ships worth less than I'd say 20% HP each on main

light crystal
#

Well, bulking up Backline survivability is alsp a pressing issue for me

#

Which is why I'm eyeing MP, FDG, and Amagi. WK is WK, focused DPS.

elder crane
#

Honestly ykkz is pretty reasonable for just that
Although I still think is chance for suicide vg to be good a la WaSD meta

#

Problem w Amagi is she literally does no dmg by today standard esp without Nagato or 4 IJN

light crystal
#

I tried YKKZ before, it did not improve WR against Mafia. I tested it about 10-20 times on same Mafia fleet.

#

Also tried Amagi and YKKZ

#

Like u said, Amagi's DPS is an issue

#

So I'm banking my money more on the other 3 BB's... I could run AQL/Perseus/NJ, but running preload like that is not my style, so eh

thin cosmos
#

my question is without VG, our team can stand 1 attack?

#

as I see very hard to stand 20s attack

#

13 gears dps just insane

They all have PvP potential tbh, but yes, Ancho the easiest to adopt into current comps.

Inb4 "4/4 torp meme anchorage cancer"

elder crane
#

Is fundamentally limited in how cancer she is unless returns to CV meta

#

Although maybe it really kills off 2/3 CV teams

#

If you run 2 BB, then secondaries will kill fairly fast anything pushing through
So unlikely Anchorage doing so is major advantage, since she's not a torp boat or anything

Hey, I was wondering: Why is the current meta fleet of VV/NJ/Aqui mainly using VV as Flagship?

#

AFAIK both VV and NJ's barrages are indifferent of flagship position, but NJ has more health and a tiny bit more EVA than VV

trail temple
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#

Personal preference

dull hollow
#

Reject virgin veneto

#

Embrace chad independence

light crystal
#

Not so much personal, but it is tactical. FS tends to get pounded hardest, so you'd naturally want to have NJ be on safest spot to farm the most damage.

elder crane
#

VV is the most expendable pretty much

#

Both as in actually and on aux slots

#

Plus CL secondary range things

#

I've swapped to 457 FdG instead and it's been hmm hmm
Not really sure about it
Suicide vanguard so far works exactly as expected though
Although it doesn't really seem to be better vs top mirror-esque setups, at least on offense
Well at least I get quicker matches, I think

candid sluice
#

also cl aux longer range over dd aux so vitt mid

elder crane
#

Yep, DD gun doesn't reach anyways but CL gun ranges better from center

#

Is mostly though that VV weakest overall and also since preload, is less critical to keep alive than NJ

solid phoenix
#

Aight good to know, thanks

flint sun
#

If I use Duca in pvp, would fdg or some other kid still be better than vv?

elder crane
#

that's the question rn

#

doesn't seem to be anything significantly better at least

#

appears to be minor upgrades atm if at all

#

plus if you're going to use FdG then you'll probably want 2 457 so... yeah

#

although if you saved up proto data or went for it maybe you do have that

sour oasis
#

Any reason to have more than 2 457 for now?

elder crane
#

for PvE unlikely since Aquila seems unmovable

#

with the only serious non-Aquila running USN CV/L anyways

is quite nice for PvE though

Sorry to bother, but is there a detailed guide somewhere for strongest pvp comp including equipment for pvp, with NJ + Aquila + whatever else?

I've been stuck on IJN comp and been getting crushed. Badly

But PvP is about rock paper scissors. You don't need a mirror to beat them. Just a bit of luck.

it let her absorb torps

meaning no matter how good of a comp you attack with

there is always a slim chance
