Overall, we got: - 3 balansed ships - 1 heavy duty Saint Louis - 3 Krispy Kremes Seems like manjuu forgot to finish reading the wargaming's spreadsheet and gaijin's sekrit dokumintz.
@@rps215 As it should be tbh. Russian shipbuilding had many faults, but their guns weren't part of that. They had a similar design philosophy to the Italians, using heavier shells than average, but using large propellant charges to get them much faster than average as well, resulting in practically the most devastating damage you could get at that caliber. The problems that they shared (like a very short barrel life of only ~150 rounds), aren't represented in-game.
To be fair, IRL Tashkent has twice the tonnage of DD like Laffey IIRC. That's why her stats are so high. Just3c I think you forgot to mention that these ships also cost more oil.
I haven't checked the Elites, but Tashkent, Sovetskaya and Chapayev all have the standard SR oil costs. But that's also without adding the required amount of vodka to run them at 100% efficiency.
*BEWARE THAT* there is a bug in rossiya's barrage, the large icicles r actually supposed to provide real flood dmg instead of 23 dmg that scales with aviation (wtf) so when it gets fixed her barrage should deal even more dmg than it deals now also i don't get why people think ross's barrage is super spread out... monarch's barrage is more spread out than rossiya's since the dmg is evenly spread within her 13 projectiles and they land screen-wide which means any projectile that misses is a large chunk of monarch's barrage dmg, but rossiya's dmg is focused on the 9 ap shells that arc towards the middle in 3 x 3 pattern and usually at *least* 2 of those per wave will hit the boss so on average 7 of those 9 shots will hit. Also the small ice cones penetrate through anything while having a chance to set ships on fire, yes... icicles that can set shit on fire all in all both r rly good ships. I'd choose ross over monarch for boss simply cuz of the sheer dmg and monarch's against the current skill is good for mobbing i guess
It's kinda boss dependent. For bosses that stays in the middle, Rossiya's barrage is pretty good, but for bosses that move around a lot like Taihou, you'd be lucky to land 4/9..On average I prefer Monarch's barrage A LOT more.
@@Just3c ehhh i wouldn't be so sure, i've never put ross against taihou but when she fought DDs like yuki she never landed anything less than 6-7. there's still *a lot* more further testing to be done regarding monarch v ross. Some ppl say that when the flood DoT actually gets fixed and scales with fp it'll push her to EX tier but it's all just speculation at this point. I'd have to test it out myself personally too (ross and monarch r both pretty far from 120 rip) but from what i can see so far ross outdamages both monarch *and* hood since hood's barrage actually has the same pattern as monarch but a *lot* more concentrated. Ross's shelling is super good with the extra 5% proc chance on monarch as well but then there is monarch's high reload and 5% mge on ross. All in all both monarch and ross r solid T0s for me
Grand Priest Goku 神道悟空 At full stacks, Ross (excluding the barrage) will out damage Monarch by 700 damage per volley, so 2100 difference assuming everything hits. This would already swing into Ross’ favor, but factoring in the entire fleet composition paints a clearer picture The only viable ships that can contribute towards capping Ross’ FP buffing skill is NingHai/PingHai/YatSen combo, Chapayev, and Tashkent. Monarch has more flexibility and access to Helena, Noshiro and a damage oriented ship like Roon or Baltimore. While Ross’ salvo damage exceeds Monarch’s the difference comes to reload. Monarch has a higher reload and gets boosted by her skill. Monarch can get another shot in and the extra two seconds on the slow leads to consistent performance from the other backliners. The only situation I can see where Ross can outperform Monarch is on non-mobile bosses.
Rossiya barrage is spread out, but it still good for mod and boss fleet. The delay in her barrage is not satisfied. The barrage dmg is very high, it's depends on how you gonna use her.
I wouldn’t call having top tier tankiness underwhelming. And believe it or not, due to maingun +1 she doesn’t have the worst effective firepower. The fun part comes when this is pre retrofit Pamiat.
It's sad that Minsk is currently underwhelming. I love her design and personality and I currently have her as my secretary because she's so adorable. I hope your prediction of her getting a retrofit when the event re-runs is true, I would love to be able to actually use her.
Everyone said the same thing about Ranger (her skills where the only redeemable part) but that didn't stop me from making her my second strongest ship with 500+ aviation
@@muath1401 Ranger is the hardest hitting thing you can get ever provide you provided offering to RNGesus, either a second take off or double damage or both simultaneously is no joke She also hits decently hard even if you are not blessed by RNGesus
@@周生生-f1f yup which is why I think she is one of the best ships in game, I saw a vid on youtube where someone got 7 takeoffs and 3+ assaults it was insane
Yeah, the Soviets may have the best artillery guns in the world especially after the war. Sadly though, they're not the best shipbuilders for the time being.
There’s so much info in this game it’s hard to know where to start I’ve had numerous people on discord help with ship set ups and builds but there’s just so much to sort through I’m glad I was able to get S.R and Tashkent they found permanent homes in my docks and I’m working up to monarch as I write this but this guide helps by explaining why each ship is good or not so I thank you for making this so even a nooblet like me can understand
At last...Just3c delivers Edit: I agree with you on Sovetskaya's barrage. The damage is higher but the barrage itself is all over the place. If there is one thing I could change, it would be her barrage
guys i did my daily two pulls today and both of them were 6 hours and 23 mins and i am happy to say that those two builds where rossiya. i swear i could never come up with that.
@Just3c not sure if I read too deep but that comment with grozy and Minsk "not terrible but not great either" were you referring to the Chernobyl mini series. Them being Russian ships.
The purple 1x130mm is only better against heavy armor than the gold 2x130mm, which is better against all other armor types. So change to the purple 1x130mm only when you are facing heavy armor bosses, otherwise keep on the gold gun.
Everything is fine avrora is really good, she is waifu still, good i only need S.R. to get all the god tier ship of this event. I like your videos a lot, been watching since i started playing Azur Lane, the first guide i watched was yours.
Avrora is very good in PVE, she is the best vanguard support... But her performance in PVP is horrible because she is slow and her stats are mediocre...
Oh i see, I thought she was bad cause he mentioned that one of the collection ships have the same spec. I haven't watched the avrora video. Thank you for telling me.
I approve of your video, but remember, you cannot write "your" without "OUR", Comrade! Also, lol'ed very hard at Gangut description... Good for 1 minute.
I'm getting the impression the Soviet ships are designed around the concept of "RUSH B!" due to the fact they have start of fight boosts, or limited fight buffs.
So far i'm missing Avrora,Sovetskaya Rossiya and Tashkent but i'm just doing 3 pulls per day to not loose those 300 event currency stuff. Building Gangut(I really thought that i could get a higher version of her weapon,but no. Maybe in the future?) and Chapayev while farming stuff(Event currency,Chapayev drop or just equipment blueprints/Gold). And with that i could say my favorite(Waifu reason) from this event is Gangut,but still not sure if i'm gonna buy a ring to her coz the one i have is for Saint Louis(I'm a 2 month+ player lol,she was my first PRY)
i got 10 tashkent and could fully limit break all other sr ships, but ZERO AVRORA. I even bought her skin before getting her now idk if i want to continue
@@wthisdaftpunk6847 That's because almost every ship Kincora draws, Tashkent's artist, ends up being overpowered or at least good. Formidable and Dido for example
So we got the: >Royal navy's substitute in boss fight (The communist combined Fleet. SR and the chinese girls) >We got the Escanor Loli during noon time >better DD gun >Better CL gun >a good BB gun >finally, an aux for the vanguards
Good review, But I would appreciate if you may tell us which gear can be farmed at which map. You did it several times for other important gears. Thanks to you, I now have 2 special planes for Formidable. So I would really appreciate to detail which gear may be farmed at which map. I know you also review Arknights, but I only play (and love, btw) Azur Lane, while not interested in the first. So I know you have to split your work, but please do it better. I know you can!
I just started playing this game three days ago and it seems I got into it at the right time. These comrade waifus are top tier in cute and sexiness and I’ve got 3 so far. Besides this event, I’m loving all the ship girls tbh. This game has many and I already married Prinz Eugen, who I fell in love with immediately from the anime!
@Jestin' Time I feel like I’ve got pretty lucky so far. The SR ships I’m using rn are Belfast, Takao, Prinz Eugen, Warspite, and Sovetskaya. I’ve also been using Javelin, Z23, Saratoga, and some others. I’m only scratching the surface with the amount of ships to get, it’s pretty exciting.
Before I watched the video, I assumed chapayev is weaker than pamiat because chapayev always almost die. Turns out it's the opposite. btw, Tashkent always steals MVP (yelling URA! after every battle) also, I don't care about stats, I will still level pamiat
Well, if the buff of SR only lasts 2 battles but her mob clearing power is better than her boss killing power, you can put her in the mob fleet and use the first 2 battles to kill siren elites with the buff and then just clear regular mob fleets after.
Cool! Thanks for another insightful vid! also: Props to ya for using the "pieces of gear" phrase! If I could mention one more small improvement, that would be "gear" instead of "gears", because the latter still means cogwheels :)
On D3, is it more efficient to grind the Triple 152 by focusing on the sirens only, or should I fight the boss too? Don't really care about event points or ship drops at this point.
I swear, my luck is rather odd since it seems the be the opposite of how it should be. It took me around 190 cubes to get Grozny (yes, GROZNY! But can't deny that snow Eldridge is cute) and around 40 for Tashkent, Rossiya and Avrora, the former two in the first attempts xD Time to level up Rossiya and Tashkent now then, I was needing this info :P
Well, idk how it happened since I haven't touched her but apparently I removed and sold Gangut's gun since the one she has equipped is T3, not T0. Exact same name, image and stats but 5.4s slower FR
Got a completely off topic question...how can you record the secretary ship using the in-game screen recorder? Wanted to record the bunny in the 2d outfit with that feature, it I can't seem to make it work
As much as I like Rossiya, I'm glad she is Amazing tier and not God tier. The power creep would have been too heavy, taking into account everything else that's already top tier in this event... EDIT: I also like how unique Gangut is.
The only ship I got so far is Sovetskaya Rossiya, but I'm going to grind for Chapayev since she's so hot. I'm also going to try my luck in getting Tashkent.
3c, question, do you think the twin 130mm would work well on San Diego?since currently you put the 138.6mm gun on Sandy and i wanna know if its to be replaced :p
Took me 260 cubes to get 5 of them in the special gatcha pool (With 6 Sovetskaya Rossiya, 3 Grozny, 2 Tashkent, 3 Avrora, and 1 Pamiat Merkuria). I ended up token exchanging for Chapayev and Minsk to save cubes, and accumulated Gangut in the process. Now I'm back to grass growing period lol....
What about Soviet Russia's performance as the solo Russian shipfu/after losing her buff? Does she perform similarly to Littorio considering the similarity in their barrage? Or is she a hybrid of Monarch/Littoria in performance?
I only have 8k pts to spend as I didn't play this event much. I can't decide whether it's better to get Chapayev (8k), OR Minsk (4k), Twin 130mm B-2LM gun (2k), and 2 Wildcard Rainbow Blueprints (1k each). Which do you think is the better way to spend my only 8k pts?
I love my Sovetskaya . New to game only played 2 months. I was sad to know that I might not get Bismarck and Tripitz , which were my most wanted ones after Enterprise and Hood.
@Just3c I know the single 150 mm is very good for neptune and noshiro. But should I always use them, if I got one of these top tier cl-guns. When should I use which gun?
With all most 80 cubes I just have 2 of them, I dont have Sovetskaya yet so I probably focus on farming Mornach. Also all week I just waiting for this video.
I'm so happy that my last 8 cubes got me comrade Tashkent. I guess I'll be levelling 4 of them (Tash, Ross, Chapy and Gangut). Sad that Pamiat is average at best, I love her animation.
Fun fact: if you're playing world of warships and likes to modding in "res_mods", Soviet tier X battleship Kremlin is named as Sovetskaya Rossiya! W̶e̶'̶r̶e̶ ̶s̶t̶e̶p̶ ̶c̶l̶o̶s̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶I̶o̶w̶a̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶Y̶a̶m̶a̶t̶o̶!̶
Dumb idea for SP event level mob fleet but here me out: Chapayev, Arvora, and Tashkent for vanguard and S.R., Gangut, and your choice of carrier (if desired)
Yeah I get that but I never get a good excuse to run a full fleet so on SP events I just say screw it and through in whatever full fleet combo I can come up with just for kicks and see how it works out
I'm really glad Tashkent is good, I really like her personality and I'm probably gonna make a fleet I can main her in. Too bad Minsk isn't, cause she's my second favorite in this event, hopefully she'll get a retrofit and get better in the future. Also, can we talk about those amazingly ecchi prison skins these girls got? I fucking love this game!
I dont understand the destroyer gun, being better? it fires normal shells and has less modifiers than the other one. the only difference is you get one more shot and the hidden multiplier. Is the increase in this hidden multiplier that good?
So if I'm reading all of this right... I should stop worrying that the only event ship I have yet to pull/build is Avrora? Because she's not that great performance wise?
So I made a guide too but now I realize that what I said was shit, fml. However let's not forget that the 130mm has a 200° firing angle meaning that it won't be able to shoot behind
Well met Comrade 3c! Is it true that Minsk & Grozny are pre-retrofit? Where can I find confirmation of that? Overall, I can be satisfied with the performance of the Northern Union fleet, they perform at the level I expected them to. Glory to the Soviet Navy!
FDG got most benefit from the Russian 152mm since the gun range is very good (65) that she easily proc her barrage without waiting enemies get too close to her
Bassically what 3c said about Gangut is "she needs quick dps ruski comrade" Anyway great info 3C, about the ruski twin 130mm dd gun.... we can only get one of those right? So Sovetskaya ROSSIYA is like Zara eh? the downtiered PR ship level
So I made an all NP fleet (S.R, Gangut, Tashkent, Avrora, and Chapayev). Any advice on a third backline ship that would go well with these shipgirls in this fleet? NP only got two backliners.
I would use a repair ship for the third, like Vestal or Akashi. That would compensate somewhat for the low AA stat on these Vodka ships. And I am curious, do you by any chance go by the name Ebicentre on Disqus? That person uses the exact same Maki avatar as you.
I actually did go with the scamcat, Akashi. Thanks for the advice though.And, no, I don't go by any of those names. Maki is just my favorite anime character. lol
I'm a sad shikikan... I have Chapayev, Minsk, Gangut, Pamiat Merkuria and Avrora... I still have to get Tashkent, Grozny and Sovetskaya, but I only have 18 cubes left...
