Azur Lane - Admiral Nakhimov review, and what to prioritize

[@QuyetNguyen-qv8gw]

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HRa3mvIwGpvKzWeGqP2AT0uMnzz5TZhj/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103174861014091774899&rtpof=true&sd=true I do hope I don't miscalculate anything. Regardless, my conclusion is the same Edited: Some small and big errors: - Fix some incorrectly images - Kearsarge is placed as off flag but her damage is still calculated correctly - Replace Kazagumo with Potter/Hammann II for Nakhimov/Yorktown II/Soyuz fleet as Yorktown II needs 3 USS. The conclusion is unchanged - Mistakes in heavy armor fight: Forgot to remove Sirius's EVA rate debuff and forgot to include Nakhimov's bonus crit damage (due to copy-paste). Nakhimov fleet now deals slightly more damage against heavy armor meta bosses, but that doesn't include the effect of buff/debuff fron the backline to the frontline

[@ズノレレ乇尺-z5d]

Going through the file is difficult, however, so far I believe I have found three errors: 1. For heavy armor arbiter the increase of crit damage of is not included it is 1.5 instead of 1.9. 2. I can't tell if you have accouned for Implacable's 2nd Skill evasion reduction on any armor type. 3. Sirius increase to accuracy of CVs on light and medium arbiter is not accounted for either. I think it is best to exclude Helena as if you are assuming 4 procs of radar scan for both fleets there is no difference and just adds clutter.

[@ズノレレ乇尺-z5d]

@@QuyetNguyen-qv8gw See it now thanks. I think there is another mistake on Implacable for Heavy Armor her DRB is 1.25 however Shinano and Haku is 1.15. The 1.25 should if Soyuz + Air Raid Assistance are both applied, 1.15 if only Air Raid Assistance. From my calculations adapting your file Shinano/Admiral/Soyuz + Kazagumo/Sirius/Third IJN ship should be 2.27% more damage than Haku/Shinano/Implacable + Kazagumo/Sirius/Third Ship. Haku/Admiral/Soyuz + Kazagumo/Sirius/Third Ship should be 1.80% less damage.

[@QuyetNguyen-qv8gw]

@@ズノレレ乇尺-z5d I doubt you do the math correctly. Judging from the file Hakuryuu has way more power than Shinano, so under the same condition Hakuryuu should deal more damage. That fleet isn’t something I alone came up with, this was a reference from CN players. And I don’t like that I have to give up Helena. Some meta bosses do require her

Nyakhimov

[@Regis_ru]

In "modern" boss fights, the boss usually have their own gimmick like insanely high AA, timing of some eva skills, canon shields, etc... what I'm saying here, mixed fleet shouldn't work in practice because it will easily be counter by the boss. The only time we can use mixed backlines is only in the older fights like OpSi and guild boss.

[@QuyetNguyen-qv8gw]

@@Regis_ru BB can just match CV timing so there’s no different now. Higher AA favour mixed fleet more since only 2/3 of them affected by it

[@bellart_ramana]

still think she is quite powerful. now I can just run Haku/Shinano/Nagato in one fleet and Soyuz/Chkalov/Nakhimov in another. Unfortunately I started too late for Implacable, Yorktown II.

QN slowly leading us back to math classes. I`m quite sure there's plenty of Shikikans about to cry over that thought. Thank you for analysis provided for the new ship. Do you plan to do, even if briefly, the other ships from PR7 ? I expect 2 or 3 of them to not be that impressive.

[@QuyetNguyen-qv8gw]

[@Elainyan]

Not damage gap but huge design gap , enough reason

[@uekchan]

Hello, it's me again. Tashkent augment has dropped, could you compare the IJN+USS ships with [implac+kaza sirius helena] vs [nakhimov+tashkent kaza helena]? Tashkent with the standard twin 138.6mm, FuMo goldburn over oxytorps, ignore the damage from all out since it's too rng to hit (you can try to calc it though but I don't think it's realistic) Let us assume that vanguard pressure is not a thing for future applications

[@uekchan]

Interested to know what you think, but I think the main way Nakhimov should be used would be to use her instead of implac(if conditions are met, Nakhi is a strict upgrade over implac) and just kill harbiter in 20s with kronstadt's barrage, or to use tashkent instead of helena for some more consistency(helena-less fleets). To me, using Nakhi+soyuz is such a trap, since the best third ship imo would be alsace, so Nakhi+soyuz+alsace. In that case, you might as well run plymouth and use vanguard, so it would just be soyuz+alsace+vanguard, your standard bb team.

[@QuyetNguyen-qv8gw]

[@Dennis-pk7mo]

​@@QuyetNguyen-qv8gw In EN, the skill only specifies if theres 2 CV/CVLs or 2 BB/BC/BBVs in the main fleet, so it reads like the BB requirement counts Soyuz as 1 already. So if you're running a full backline you'll always get 1 part of the skill active unless akashi/vestal

One thing that you didn't point out about Nakhimov is that she has ghost secondaries, so she can deal with suicide boats, making her quite good in story mode. Also, what's your opinion about the current PR season ? Because, from my perspective, this season is the weakest since the PR3 season.

[@acertainmysteriousvirtuoso6150]

Yeah, only Nakhimov is the good ship and the rest are kinda underpowered including Napoli. Most of the good gears in pr7 are planes.

Chance based and awkward timing

[@acertainmysteriousvirtuoso6150]

Currently, Nakhimov is the only good ship in pr7 the rest are kinda underwhelming including Napoli. Unless devs buff them for now, pr7 is kinda disappointing with the exception of Nakhimov and some of the gears.

[@Sira_Kackavalj]

Napoli is underwhelming?
