How Strong Are The Current UR Ships? | Azur Lane

[@Kimocheese]

Edit: I forgot Brest lmfao, she's a good large cruiser. More aimed for survivability like W14.

[@davidburnett5049]

Thanks, cheese man

[@vvvppp6021]

Thank you for updating my man!!

[@doughnut3508]

Wow such a detailed description about Brest. 👏🏼

[@J_Halcyon]

Warspite over 3M EXP: When they reduced the EXP needed for level 120 they didn't reduce the total EXP earned by any ship, so ships who were at or near the exp cap before that patch can have up to 4,090,000 exp. My Perseus is one of them.

[@warsmithandrath449]

I'm just hoping that when FDG gets her Fate Sim that they give her both sides of her salvo skill at the same time, rather than switching between the damage/reload buff and the crit chance/crit damage. I feel like that would help get her into a competitive spot again with the recent additions to the UR BB pool. If you think feel like one of her other skills could use the fate sim buff, which one would you like to see?

[@ZeptarZGreat]

Would not mind seeing a similar video for the PR ships as well

[@sanshou4927]

Warspite is still used in PvP by some comps (for those who like to reset alot and watch warspite oneshot Enti over and over again)

[@issacfoster1113]

That was like years ago

[@posaiduck1131]

Enty no longer matters in pvp so warkai doesnt do anything. Combined with the carriers being hidden till first airstrike she does nothing anymore.

Forgot to even mention Brest when she was next in line, and forgot Kronshtadt skills, great video lmao

[@Markus-zb5zd]

for Sandy also don't forget she has insane ASW for a CL, so even in W14 3/4 she is great

[@Sira_Kackavalj]

Id say Warspite still has her spot considering it's much easier to max her compared to PR URs not to mention the event locked URs

[@danreid1842]

you missed brest, and could you make a video on the exact item builds you use for these and some of the more commonly played ships? if I am not mistaken hakyru carrier is using the aviation badge but is paired with musashi, isn't that counter productive?

[@MaverickTheRogue]

Well having missed Shimakaze when she came out, made pvp a little tricky since everyone uses her and I kind of need that crazy damage for myself as well to counter herself in my own fleet combinations.

[@7Seven-Four4]

Ayanami is a worthy understudy to Shimakaze, if you haven't invested in her already. Her unique augment doubles her torpedo stat for the first eight seconds of battle.

[@JackLuong]

@@thetruth9952 how do you even play manual in pvp?

[@Amber_Rascal]

@@JackLuong you cant, hes mistaken

[@figurecollector5796]

I missed Shimakaze as well, but I agree with the responses that while she's a great DD you don't really need her. I like running a carrier back line and they do an enormous amount of damage in PvP. The CVs are a good antidote for Shimakaze and most ships. For me, NJ is the ship that really hurts me the most in PvP. Also, I use PvP mostly to get EXP for the ships I want to level up faster so most of my ships are level 110-120 and they still win most of the time.

[@nagekun]

@@thetruth9952 that's why you put rainbow mag torps on her lol

[@kingsley0403]

as a 1 month old player, i retrofited Warspite and planning to put her into my Royal Navi boss fleet

I'm already suffering doing a Drake Grind (about 21% on EXP part 2). At least she'll make it easier whenever I decide to go through that hell again to get Plymouth.

[@gerg5555]

Thanks for the guide. Can you do a rundown on N rarity ships next please? Are they meta? Which ones are better than UR's?

[@Miyama3713]

I don’t think N ships can even compete with UR ships. N ships are always use to farm exp for PR ships

[@marcuskorson8]

Love the video, especially since my favorite ship in the ENTIRE game Agir is the defacto best tank :3 As for the info, you should have compared Plymouth to Mainz. Since Mainz is before Plymouth came out THE best tank CL in game. Or so I've been told for a while now. I could be wrong so please correct me if I am.

I always thought UR Bulin was the strongest of the 3 Bulin. Cause I see them in PVP and they still get clapped fast even if they’re supposed to be the strongest of the 3.

[@blacksage81]

Plymouth is basically Belfast Retrofit, not a comparison I would complain about as I see the similarities.

[@aidanbonomo2119]

Can you please do this video for all PR ships? Great and informative content!

Good info. Thank you!

[@belfastbelchan4039]

Devs have brain fart for improving Drake's DPS as if she lacks DPS, while her eHP as a Tank which is her initial role is the worst among UR, her barrage is supposedly makes her Tanky, doesnt even make her Tanky lmao they could've reduced the Time required to Proc it but nah Brain Fart all over the area.

[@mrthonk2408]

Drake's DPS was getting powercrept over the years as ships like Kron did similar dmg and offer crossfleet. Drake's Fate sim improves on the extremely strong modifiers that drake already had. The reduce AOA proc time further reinforces her outstanding damage. Even though her guns don't have shield piercing like the CBs, her raw damage alones puts her well above all CB, CA, CL damage (Only getting beaten by Torpers like shima). And this is excluding her torp slot and burn from her ghost gun. She actually have better survivability (after fate sim) than ships like Kron since she has more than 2x the eva stats of Kron not to mention the superior heal. Which out weighs the lower hp and gives her a higher eHP and better sustain over a longer period. Although I would not consider her to be the tankiest of CA/CB, she is one of if not the best mobbing or sub tank CA that the game offers right now. The flexibility and damage that Drake offeres is definitely something I would not talk down on.

[@uuwa_09]

Which bb is the best overall? I know it’s a dumb question, but what about NJ? Will she fall like UvH in the future? Will NJ keep her stand when Wisconsin comes out? I’m kind of worried of how we are evolving as UR gacha ships are turning. Look at Musashi! Her kit is great, her health is insane, her damage is crazy. NJ’s kit is broken also, but idk how to compare. Can someone tell me. Cause I wanna path the right bb lol

[@silverhost9782]

NJ will be powercrept eventually. Only UR BB I expect to stay fully relevant long term is Vanguard

[@uuwa_09]

@@silverhost9782 that sucks! Her oath skin bussin too. I guess I’ll just wait for Iowa. But she’s gonna take some time too. After all, Eagle Union still has USS Midway and the other Iowa class

[@silverhost9782]

@@uuwa_09 NJ and Musashi (and to a less extent UvH) are all still really good though. Vanguard will probably be less vulnerable to powercreep but the others aren't going to stop being good for a veeeryy long time. So don't feel bad about investing time into raising them, it's worth doing

[@uuwa_09]

@@silverhost9782 I don’t have NJ though but I have every bb gacha. Waiting for her rerun when we have a eagle UR upcoming. I love her! Love her character, kit, and her oath skin. Idk about other oath skins for others tho. Depending on that. She is by far one of my favorite ships irl cause she is a war vet, but USS Wisconsin might creep her out cause of the ship’s personality. Wisconsin for sure will be a big damage dealer like Musashi because of her history. Oh what ever. NJ best girl

[@triplocore]

I dont get why everyone are saying that UvH sucks when compared with others UR ships rn. My UvH most of time outdamage the NJs and Mushs from my guild mates, and even when she loses in damage (what is rare), its not a big diff. Off flag with the new UR Gun she just obliterates everything like a machine gun of the death.

[@Waffentrager-Panzer.]

Reason: 1 UvN in chapter 14 keep hide(chapter 14 all ship have hide) was difficult because UvN shot time is short. 2 UvN shot time is short so She can’t use Helena and Vanguard‘s buff, so only calculate single ship ability UvH is strong but think ship’s cooperation, UvH is sucks to other UR BB

[@KurvaNedaSeSemNicDat]

the UR ships are sure godlike sadly the ones retrofitted from gold are bad ... warshite is quite bad so is sandy ..sandy has use only in one map in game w13 ... only yuudachi is actually real UR from these 3 she does insane dmg with the sardegna SAP gun. BBs: NJ still godlike dmg and crossfleet barrage and stuff, Musashi godlike dmg but weird skill + her gun combo situation hope they adress that in the future but she is still so strong it doesnt matter that much, Vanguard awful personal dmg but great support so has spot sure anyway, Ulrich and FdG are both strong but got kinda washed off now by Musashi sadly FdG sure needs the fate sim sadly they still skipped her and went for Drake fate sim... if nothing else FdG needs the barrage to be not slot relevant so she can be off flag little better if nothing else ... but still worth using by far against like mobs or light armor bosses etc, Shinano and Hakuryuu combo is godlike in CV fleet wish we get UR CV supporter with slow debuffs soon... the CBs are all godlike tanks azuma kinda on the lower side since she was first but with fate sim and proper gear still top tier. Shimakaze godlike DD insane dmg and 2 preloads and insane extra barrage assault... Plymouth is best CL by far now kinda hoped she would replace helena but not really sadly .... and last but not least Drake... she really feels weird to use now with 4 CBs on table and lot of supporters ... she does good dmg but still kinda falls down lately overall ...... so those are my experiences with all those ships Now after watching the vid pretty much similar as was said in it... quite expected
