[@jolunrohthocoudis526]

being new to the game, Howe was the first SR I pulled when i started play and had literally no idea whats going on (as opposed to now where I have 5% idea of whats going on.) She looked like a heavy metal angel of war complete with giant wings made of guns, but when she speaks its like a loving sister, soft and gentle. She was decisive and powerful in the bit of Aurora Noctis that i got to play, and in play standard play she has been every thing she seemed to be, destructive, kind, powerful, charming. When I paired her with her sister King George, they seem unstoppable, both on the battlefield or in the kitchen. Im positive she will be the first ship I Oath, and am constantly impressed with just how far she has carried me and how forgiving she is of my sins as a new SKK.

Yes She has a similar role to Warspite... BUTT*** there is a tiny tiny detail: Yostar released one week later after Aurora Noctis, the event to get Ws retrofit's Item It was like they were saying, yeah... Just go for Ws 💔💔💔 I pair her with Hood (double reload buff FTW) plus Ark or Unicorn But the main HMS fleets use Warspite, Monarch and Queen Elizabeth everyone with an special role :(

[@honor2425]

Ariel denial tho, unicorn still gonna be for me

[@HSRFirefly]

Yea tho a squad with QE Monarch and War retro means u sacrifice 1 spot of doing damage to buff the other 2.. coz lets be honest here, QE does shit damage

[@honor2425]

Nian Simp Sistina Honestly i'd say QE picks up when you have neptune, cheshire and drake as frontline and howe/warspite backline. So much damage that QE ends up doing better than without

[@HSRFirefly]

@@honor2425 i still prefer Monarch in that setup over QE, the buff themselves doesnt cover much for the lost in dmg because of QE. I cant use Drake yet coz shes still only Dev20 but my Cheshire and Neptune are already Dev30. Im using Monarch Howe Warspite on back then Cheshire Neptune and Helena retro atm on front.. HMS setup is all about how long your vanguard can last before your backline can fire their things.. It is true tjat QE can help with that 15% evasion of hers and 15% firepower.. But at the end, HMS fleet has their damage come from the back. 15% dmg boost to howe and war retro with QE might sound good but the Damage from Monarch's barrage when it procs together eith her survivability is certainly alot better than that dmg boost from QE

[@honor2425]

Nian Simp Sistina Honestly it depends because neptune can seriously compete with warspite sometimes. Also aerial denial so carrier is something neccesarry

[@Kellexyz]

7:50 the core data white shell doesn't stack with the purple white shell right?

[@arting18]

As someone who is autoplay (so non-competive, no EX, no PVE, just put gears as you or others recommend as I really don't understand any of the maths or stats): Is the trio (Monarch, Howe and Warspite (all max) good for chapter 13? (as I really don't wish to waste time and OIL!!! just to find out there was an easier way.....still regretting never using Aurora in Chapter 11 HARD stages until recently...makes such a huge difference.....Vanguard: Sandy (or Seattle, both max), Helena + one of the following Ayanami, Room, Hamman, Baltimore, Mogami - anyone else is not maxed or I just don't like them enough to use). Or do I need to use a healer, like Lolicorn let say? This is way may want to know, If you have the 3 BB, and need to take 1 out, who should it be?

@@ItsAnderYT Yeah, i know. But i mean she has a strong HE barrage every 15s so i will equip AP gun to make her useful with every enemies in every stages, no matter they are high, med or light armor. Therefore, I want to ask u if i could do that

4:12 LMFAO. Yea it's kinda sad. We're overdue for a *true* HE based BB damage gun upgrade. Yet we've gotten two AP gun upgrades...🤦‍♂️ edit: The Triple 381 is more of a sidegrade than an upgrade imo. +20 FP stat and -0.80 sec shorter reload (both at +10), but less DPS (even after +20 FP is applied) and on-hit damage which is the whole point of slotting the purple 406 to begin with, over the Twin 406mm SKC or Hood Gun

[@nuke2099]

If you're using Monarch and a carrier which out of Warspite and Howe do you think would be better to pair with Monarch? Howe seems like she would be the better one to pair up with.

[@ItsAnderYT]

Both have extremely similar performance with Monarch. I would honestly just use whoever is higher leveled. The one factor you can consider are the enemies you are facing, if there is more light armored enemies then Howe is better, and if there are more medium/heavy armor enemies then Warspite would be preferred.

[@nuke2099]

[@DavidNancyTom]

When making an HMS backline, are any of those 3 ships worth subbing out in favor of Queen Elizabeth? Or are Howe Monarch and Warspite so good individually that they overpower QE's buff?

[@ItsAnderYT]

Those 3 ships are all much better than QE, so it is more worth using Howe, Monarch, and Warspite rather than switching one of them with QE. It's a bit sad since QE is supposed to be the Royal Navy faction buffer, but she's extremely lackluster stat-wise and skill-wise compared to the other faction buffers like Nagato, Bismarck, and Richelieu. A lot of people (including me) are wishing for her retrofit.

Why do you keep recommending black shell plus white shell. Honestly most general builds should be white shell plus gold SG radar. Being able to hit a target is more important than having a high critical hit chance. More than anything missed shots hurt the most especially when it comes to the later chapters. The reason why black shell plus white shell even works on Warspite, is because one of her skills buffs her accuracy. Not all BB's have a built-in accuracy buff. Sometimes I wonder why I'm even subscribed to you, when you can't even give a proper build for a ship. Please stop giving bad builds.
