My Thoughts on Helena Retrofit! | Azur Lane 

Can you please do mogami please she’s my favorite ship

now do the Helena Meta

Both? Both.

Perfectly Balanced, as all things should be.

I'll take the heart as a yes lol

he married her in a stream i dont remember when but i think it was maybe last month or 2 months ago iirc

@@ikazuchi-san5772 I havent been able to keep up with streams so I didnt know. Still cool though. Im glad to see Helena getting more love

More than best friends, you guys just became double eskimo brothers.

Repulse really does not get enough love

Amakaga does nice with it. Akagi and Kaga are ready around 15 in and Amagi can be ready rather quickly too. It works to them a lot more.

you can set up almost any back line with Homing Beacons(for CVs), HS fire control radar(for BBs) while also setting up different planes and guns. doing so, finally, gear other then purple triple 406mm MK6. or Helldiver bomber, can shine.

It works well with Rodney(center), Amagi and Warspite kai, in Warsite case you can juggle the main gun and equipments to work, i love getting 2 Special Salvo and than Ap warspite all in the debuff time.

Her smile in her New Year's Bluebird skin is like a hot knife to butter, Her cute chibi Blushing while waving energetically is awesome.

I KNOW RIGHT?!?!

My heart is going to explode from adorableness overload upon seeing my darling Helena in a no doubt beautiful oath skin... I will die, but I die happy.

Welp... 3 years later she got it...

Helena was the first Elite ship i pulled when i started too, and the only ship i have oathed, although i have spare rings. I have never taken her out of the team yet.

Worth.

worth.

Insert assembly of the Helena Protecc-ion Squad here.

So if Leipzig is the German counterpart, and Hawk compares Leander’s chibi to Helena’s (making Leander the British counterpart)...who is the Japanese counterpart?

@@UchihaPercy I would say Mogami, she seems to have low self esteem despite being super sweet and a very good ship, and she was drawn by the same artist as Helena's

Ibuki EZ

Haven't been able to fully use FDG, so I wouldn't know. That could make sense tho.

I avoid watching other guide videos so that a pre-existing bias doesn't exist prior to going into the workings of a character. I find this better as it does result in allowing me to see areas they shine and areas they may falter at (regardless of the character). That being said, I'm aware of the SG radar having bigger applications outside of what I've mentioned. At the same time, these videos are directed toward the more casual players rather than the hardcore. I could definitely mention its applications and starting bring mathematical formulas into this, but that would cause the video to be far less entertaining in my opinion. To put simply (and not to insult) those that can see those particular applications and work that way, this video series...really isn't for you. I'm aiming to cover the high level applications of a character. I look at these videos like how I used to teach/tutor: When a person is new to a topic or environment, it's better to show them things at a higher level and teach them the basics. As they get more and more comfortable with the topics at hand, then they can further their understanding and "graduate" into the hardcore player that is willing to dive into the mathematics and further understand that. It's better to not overwhelm players with deeper topics. As much as I would be willing to dive into that, it's not something that fits in the series.

@@Hawk2zer0 that's an absolutely fair assessment and given that scope I agree with your course of action in regards to what you covered in this video based upon this. please keep making this quality content.

@@jolunrohthocoudis526 I did at least mention that fleets like AmAKaga will see benefit, so maybe that could allow people to experiment with that. I also imagine the +13 gear could be a huge gamechanger as well.

I only have 1 still, but I can understand that once you have them.

Quite rare for someone to love her because she frequently appears in the builds... *Salty plebs...*

If you say so I gotta start using her in my faction fleet

@@luxeternity Dorsetshire's skill is almost the exact same as Body and Soul. The only difference is that the crit dmg increase is not 65% but 50%.

I'm glad these have been helpful for you! I always do recommend trying out a lot of ships early on even if you don't have a lot on your roster. It helps to make things a bit easier with switching out substitutions if needed (especially once hard mode is what you really dive into on events). Every ship class has their own advantages and disadvantages, knowing when and where to use them is a huge advantage as time goes on! Don't worry too much about Patreon! Supporting a creator isn't just that anyway! Hope to see you around! If you have questions, always feel free to ask!

Abercrombie was suggested way later, but she is a bit different from Terror/Erebus. That's generally the main reason I don't pair characters that are different together.

Added! Gotcha!

POI

...ah...I knew I had something off...my mind didn't process that. I'll pin a correction remark. Apologies and thanks for pointing it out.

Nah, Life stuff...been still dealing with IRL 2020 stuff honestly.

@@Hawk2zer0, I made that comment as a joke.

@@simonbengtsson9241 You might not believe it, but I get that type of comment a lot. So I have to treat it this way...a lot. I wish I were joking.

@@Hawk2zer0, I get it. Also, I hope you sort that stuff out.

She's coming up soon! So no worries!

You sure it wasn't muted on your end? I just pulled this up and it did have sound.
