Hawk:Ironically puts Glowworm and A.Hipper in the same fleet Glowworm:Rams A.Hipper A.Hipper:Hawk you f-cking donkey Leipzig,hyperventilating:Now that's a lotta damage
@@WhosManIsThis Yeah, Hipper's crew (most notably her captain) was so surprised with Glowworm's crazy ramming of Hipper that it was deemed as "respectable" since at that time it was deemed brave (but somewhat stupid) for something as small as a destroyer to try and take on a huge behemoth like Hipper. Not to mention ramming her as an act of last resort. All survivors of Glowworm were rescued (yes rescued, not "captured" since they were indeed concerned for her crew) and when they rescued the crew that survived, they treated the crew well. They didn't imprison them in the ship's brig or mistreated them. In fact, they treated Glowworm's crew as brothers and were feeding and entertaining them as if they were their own. Sadly though Glowworm's captain and some crew died though when she sunk. Hell, it was Hipper's captain that sent a letter of recommendation to the Brits to commend and award Glowworm's crew for their "bravery". And in game, Glowworm is probably the only one Hipper doesn't show her flat chested Tsundere side to. She respects her which is apparent in her voicelines.
Hipper: aww, what a cute tiny destroyer squad Glowworm: *Blood for the Blood God!! Skulls for the Skull Throne!!* Laffey: WhEres tHe rUm gOne??? Ausburne: *I am speed*
Had a last minute edit I made...as much as I wanted to use the joke...it probably wouldn't have done well with TH-cam stuff... Maybe I'll upload that by itself...
If this girl accidentally fall on concrete floor.....well i hope they got a replacement for that floor Also it's one of the worthy opponent to goes head on with a nokia 3310
Glowworm. The first shipbreaker ship in the world. When shikikan forgets to turn off Initial D in the background. When someone forgets that he is not flying a kamikaze plane. When a Russian commissar became a shikikan. What dark jokes could I add.....
This reminds me, if you use Le Malin, Le Triomphant and Charles with her skill cuz the first 2 have the highest speed stat in the game you become meme SPEED.
arashio is also a good comp (not better than leipzig tho) cuz she also reduces ramming damage (idk if you could stack her dmg reduction with leipzeigs or not)
Remember that time Glowworm headbutted Ark Royal for trying to suck her finger? Yea,that was a reference to RL Glowworm's demise,during the Invasion of Norway,she spotted Admiral Hipper heading for Narvik(I think?),so not letting Hipper away unharmed,she transmitted her and Hipper's location before HEADING FULL SPEED AT HIPPER,SCRAPPING OFF HER ARMOR BEFORE FINALLY SINKING
She's an early ship where there were some wild ideas that didn't pan out (see also Prince of Wales). But as some have said, she was originally slated for a starter spot and the sign of such can be seen on the older gem screens. Why the change isn't known, though the starter spot did ultimate cost Javelin a more historically accurate skill (ala Minnie, Cassin/Downes, Phoenix) While not meme, she is memorable and cute, though with her artist vanishing, who knows about a possible refit. Also said in a few spots is that the respect Hipper's crew had or the Glowworm and her valiant efforts is reflected in a line of Hipper's saying to put on a splendid performance.
From what i heard in the cn server javelin replace glowworm bcuz of the better personality????its more of the anime trope thing with javelin or it could also including the character appearance im not that good with languages, anyway theres still glowworm auto battle notification everyday....they both cute regardless
Yeah just look at glowworm va and javelin va, idk much about va but from what i understand javelin va arent the most popular one (understatement of the year, heard she voiced a random character in girl frontline i think) that said i only know laffey va is something about the dragon girl anime, it could be coincidence and this is just me overthinking crap not related to the rumor
There was also a rumor of laffey being pink hair....think there was even a icon of her pink hair in top up money or something like the glowworm icon....meh idk just tossing shit
7:49 Wait a minute... She has a purpose on my fleet. Indeed I use her all the time, cause she's really a monster... When I add her on commissions where a DD is require, it's her time to shine.
Nice review Hawk, said pretty much everything to be said about Glowworm. Looking forward to Tinykaze and Repulse's reviews. Also as a sidenote, I'm glad you included Javelin when comparing Glowworm to the starter destroyers. A lot of people look at Javelin and ignore her because the other three starters and Shigure Kai exists. But Javelin's still one of my favourite ships in the game both character wise and gameplay wise. She actually has the highest eHP out of the starter destroyers. Sure Nimi has a higher health pool, but Javelin has only 300 HP less and has higher evasion and can boost it with Javelin Raid (although the proc chance is to be desired as with all the starter destroyer skills). Not to mention her stats can be boosted if she's sortied with QE, who herself is much more relevent because of Dido. Sorry for rambling on, as I said before I'm looking forward to the next review. Hope you're doing well :)
Javelin and Cygnet are fairly equal eHP wise, except Javelin is much more consistant with damage. It's fun in a PvP fleet if you want to troll the opposing person's frontline
I remember cygnet actually help frontline survival.... Though having lower hp stat arent the worst thing ever, they can get more efficiencies out of the same hp equipment, if you really want to hardcore tank with javelin just use the fastest canon in the game yeah her firepower are decent but meh its a sacrifice besides its fun using different weapon in my opinion, but meh who knows you probably know already
Yay! Repulse gets a spotlight! One of my favorites in the game, first oathed, first MLB, first above 100. Hasn't hit 120 yet, but close and I still use her despite now having much better ships at 120. Just can't let her go.
Started out a month or two ago, but I have Glowworm at lv 99 now cus she happened to be one of the earliest ones I got for HMS. I pair her with Illustrious to ram on mini boss or even bosses (ocassionally) with face torping cus it's fun haha.
Hawk I have a 5 ship combo I wanted your thoughts on: Baltimore, Sirius, Essex, Casablanca, and Intrepid. The Aviation boost is insane: Intrepid gets 52% on odd battles and Essex can get up to 67% boost if her fighters shoot down planes. Both have higher aviation stats than Enterprise.
But with a proper build the Ramming Fleet can beat 13-4 and almost all event bosses, except for Essex (There is a video of the Ramming Fleet dealing 400k damage to the 2nd stage Essex, and that is with Essex immune to ramming damage the first 30 seconds).
meteor skill ramming damage plus arashio skill mitigates some ramming damage plus charles speed skill to close the distance perfect combination now we have the tru starter squad tbh i use dis setup for my meme fleet also add boilers and beaver badge on them so we can see high speed close quarter combats😂
The only reason to take her is if you play on AUTO. For some reason on auto most of the times your vanagard are going to be ramming. I cant even count the times my vangard lost 1/3 of their HP on the first battle just because they rammed everything that moves.
Cuz they move in pattern it not like they made ai to dodge or anything....wow imagining that....meh no javelin stop shooting torpedo into the corner screen
Methinks Hawk does not understand what Random means. Not that I'm complaining, I really want to get a video where Hawk talks about his Original Waifu, but that really doesn't seem to be a "Random" pick. Feels a lot more targeted.
Technically speaking true randomness is the holy grail of mathemathic....ofc its not actually random yeah i totally believe lottery is random Meh but still valid point
I need the Taihou video. She was one of my first SRs and still sits in most of my fleets. You think Enterprise can put out damage. Taihou will reck everything.
Fun Fact: If you click on the Autoplay button, your fleet vanguard become Glowworm and start ramming everyone. (The pain when you see your vanguard ram the boss for 5s and lost 50%+ health)
Go for a character you don't have. If you have them all, then pick one that isn't fully limit broken. After that, I dunno...pick the waifu out of them.

How it feels to have glowworm in your dock:

Ramming problems require ramming solutions.

Glowworm's VA is = to Ari's from Oni Chi Chi.
i was like bruh when i found that out
i mean she is the character i (and i believe everyone else too) would absolutely not lewd
And now you cant unheard her....
How dare you not give best daughter the praise she deserves.
My rating: 10/10 Would adopt.
Please tell me you have Illustrious in your headbutt squad. 8 seconds of damage shield matter even more when applying skull directly to forehead.
Most of these kind of girls you need to keep safe from Ark Royal.
But you need to keep Ark Royal safe from this one's headbutts.
Hawk I have a 5 ship combo I wanted your thoughts on: Baltimore, Sirius, Essex, Casablanca, and Intrepid. The Aviation boost is insane: Intrepid gets 52% on odd battles and Essex can get up to 67% boost if her fighters shoot down planes. Both have higher aviation stats than Enterprise.
Yess, my Girl, glad that my art can became the WP in the game before the WP contest drama.. still hope can make more fanarts of her too
Just got back from camping and am greeted with this...welp, I guess this is how I'm going to spend the rest of my day... :)

gloworm retrofit: get a ramming speed buff, also increases damage multiplier with speed factored in.
Me: It's just a DD. Nothing else...
My brain: *UUURRRAAAAA*
Glad to see that this series is back!
The German actually write a recommendations letter to give glowworm captain medal during ww2.

i got glowworm and vestal... but not jean bart >.
will here skill reduce dmg from suicide boats?
If you ram them with vanguard...then yes.
Azur Lane just announced melee system in the game. Glowworm might have a chance to become useful.
I think her ramming skill decreases the damage from suicide boats, which could be an interesting niche..
Fun Fact: If you click on the Autoplay button, your fleet vanguard become Glowworm and start ramming everyone.

That speed buff will be quite useful for certain daily missions.
The supposed to be starter for the Royal Navy. I love my Glowworm that I oather her:
"Glowworm is the cutest!"

Did you purposely put in glowworm and Admiral Hipper together. Admiral Hipper was the ship she rammed and the whole reason she has this skill.

honestly...chuckled when I saw that stat at that level.
Illustrious' and Jeanne d'Arc's skill would help Glowworm stay alive due to the negates all forms of damage shield
I, as a Chinese, declared HMS Glowworn as "allied suicide boats".
So there IS someone else out there who loves Repulse. I'M NOT ALONE!!!
