At 9:38 when I start talking about that Kirov META run I somehow didn't put the endscreen in the video along with the calculations, so here is the endscreen that was supposed to go along with it imgur.com/a/C8csUpp
New Jersey doesn't need another USS ship to activate her self FP & RLD buffs. If there's another one, she instead would buff the USS ships not herself.
Actually she would still buff herself, with a caveat. The wiki skill description reads: Increases this ship's FP by 5% (15%) and RLD by 1% (10%). When sortied in a fleet with other Eagle Union ships: Increases AA by 5% (15%) and decreases DMG taken by 5% for all your Eagle Union ships. Increases FP by 4% (10%) for your Eagle Union BBs and BCs (New Jersey herself is also affected.)
Since you mentioned PvP when talking about NJ, I’ll chime is as someone who gets Admiral of the Navy every PvP cycle for the past two years. NJ is the strongest PvP BB almost entirely because she’s the only UR who can carry the EU Elite Damage Con. Her other benefit is in her guaranteed crit barrage, but there are better PvP barrage BBs: Musashi and UvH. Mind you, how you gear for PvP is entirely different than how you gear for PvE. Building your PvP teams for theoretical max DPS like PvE is a guaranteed way to fail.
She can, it's just not as good against heavy as it is medium. The NP gun is about the same as the USS 406 MKD that you can get from the gear lab, so it's nothing new on that front. Against medium she'll obviously want to use it, and it will be very strong, but since it's just a tiny bit slower than the Champgun and Marco Polo gun (and even slower than 406 mk7 although it's not AP), plus she has no reload buffs of her own, it'll be difficult to get 4 salvos out in META fights using it
Isn't Musashi>Zwei in terms of damage against medium armour? I remember CN placed Zwei below Musashi against medium and heavy armor. I guess it would be against medium Soyuz>Musashi>Zwei>rest As for the main gun choice, that is only for her barrage to be enhanced which is a huge enhance, but even without it her barrage is broken (although yeah it's worth it), but it can be ignored in some cases like for example if using her in mobbing, the NJ gun is a better pick in everything compared to the 410mm kai except of course rld time. You could also use 457mm on her, you would still have her having higher damage against med and heavy than Zwei (always according to CN) I might be wrong tho. If I am, let me know. I am just writing what I know and what I've seen from CN
I am honestly sick of getting UR BBs at this point. Other types would be more interesting and would stop the constant contribution to power creep. That said good video, for those who need it, I was more interested in the commentary on Soyuz, which leads to my main question: I want to have Bismarck Zwei + Musashi + Soyuz vs Heavy armour, instead of my current Bismarck Zwei + Musashi + Vanguard. Is that a bad decision? Planning to test this, but maybe you have some insight. I feel like Vanguard can be replaced by Soyuz, but I might be wrong as I am thinking in theory. Doesn't really matter either way, I just like to use newer ships as they are released instead of existing ones to keep things fresh.
Soyuz + Bismarck + Vanguard would be slightly better but you can replace Vanguard if you want. A Musashi + Soyuz + Bismarck fleet would perform about the same on heavy armor as far as I’m aware.
I'm surprised you didn't mention NJ's comparatively-strong AA and AA buff in her strengths, since that feels like one of the main reasons you'd want her in Ch15.
i tested uvh and fdg with some different builds and, unless i fucked up horrendously, fdg seems to do a decent amount more dmg in pve, definitely worthwhile
@@hehexd5317 I got her! She's Dev 19 (after 150 catch-up tickets, plus two days of buy-ins), lvl 60, skills at lvl 1, chilling in my mob fleet clearing 11-4 while working on Agir CDC I and leveling vanguard ships I got recently (Cheshire, Sandy, Z52... those poor poor planes have no chance....) at least this main fleet xp is getting somewhere useful, not that butt-ugly Scharnhorst. Yuk!
@sniper321fire thanks a lot! I decided to get her, and she's currently at dev 21, developing her skills in my 11-4 Safe xp/coin grinding mob fleet. So far so good.
I got through chap 15-3 & 15-4 with Bis Z with the Unfulfilled Promise aux in the mob fleet. It allowed me to clear the nodes with not as much trouble. I also used OG Bis with the same setup in 15-1 & 15-2.
You did Warspite dirty man, lmao. She is still a good beatstick with her high firepower and high accuracy. I was also playing around with my anti-sub fleet for chapter 14 and the fact that she can equip the anti-sub planes makes her fun to use and quite useful. She could certainly use an Augment or something as you weren't wrong about her falling behind all the other UR battleships.
Against medium and light, EU CV fleet (YorkII, Kearsarge, Implacable). Against heavy armor, SE CV fleet (Shinano, Hakuryuu, Implacable). Not much to talk about there.
BisZwei is pretty much the strongest out of all these. Black holes that sucked all the mobs, deal one of the highest DPS against all armor and basically trivialize late game "no ammo" situation in chapter 14 and 15 thanks to her cert aux. She's basically Azur Lane's version of Arknights' Surtr. While Surtr's only weakness is cannot attack air units, BisZwei only weakness is when the boss is outside her black hole range which is quite rare and not really much of a problem. Also thanks to BisZwei, Ironblood is the best mono faction fleet rn.
The biggest draw back of FDG is how poorly worded her second skill is in english. I always tought odd and even barrages would refer to the amount of projetiles in a barrage, so using tropple gund gives you DMG and RLD and using a double gun gives CritR and CritDMG....
bla bla bla the best ship in the game as been NJ since 2021 and its the same in 2024 New jersey as the best personality the best stern the best lines and the best oath skin AND you can now get her in gacha like how tf shes not the best NJ is THE BEST SHIP in azur lane
She hasn’t been the best since Shimakaze dropped. And then Musashi. And then Bis Zwei. Etc. Embarrassing how far behind you are in the game. Typical Amurrricun.

Why can't Kear use the new NP gun for AP 20 sec timing? You said she was forced to use the 457 gun
She can, it's just not as good against heavy as it is medium. The NP gun is about the same as the USS 406 MKD that you can get from the gear lab, so it's nothing new on that front.

vanguard has more AA than her anyway, and it's not enough to compensate for everything else in her kit thats ineffective in chapter 15
Explain me this why would your channel get reported since Azur Lane is 16+ right? Right?
JoJo reference outta nowhere!
Is FdG still worth getting for a new player who does not have many UR BB? I have only Musashi and UvH.

Warspite needed to be retired for a LONG TIME now. She is outdated, old, underpowered and a waste of space.
Great overview, ive needed to do such research for ages.
Lets make Content strongest CV Rainbow bro
Shinano and Hakuryuu win for sure
Against medium and light, EU CV fleet (YorkII, Kearsarge, Implacable). Against heavy armor, SE CV fleet (Shinano, Hakuryuu, Implacable). Not much to talk about there.
The universal weakness of them all is that their skills have too much text.
Thank you for the video, Jimmy!
Thank You very much ! Mooore ! Have a nice day mate :)
ty for the research.
