3:45 On March 8th, Azur Lane's Global servers switched from MST->PDT. Based on information provided by the Azur Lane tech support, it would seem that the servers will be operating at UTC -7 for the foreseeable future. The PvPer bot notifications on my Discord server has been updated to reflect this.
hello! i just discovered your channel with this video. it has almost been one year since i started playing the game, but i still have a lot of stuff to learn!
Can you please tell us on how to do the "Sandbagging" method? I don't know if you know this but judging from your knowledge about PvP and can reach "Admiral of the Navy", I assume that you know about it.
Yes. That is basically 1 of 2 main topics for the sequel video. I figured I'd start out simple for a baseline. The advanced guide will most certainly talk about "sandbagging".
On to the advanced guide I guess. I never dabbled much in PvP aside from merit and exp gains but lately I've been getting annoyed that every time I get close to the top 1000, I run out of excersizes and then when I play again hours later after a restocking period kicked in, I have to try again from like 3000. Maybe a problem with my defense fleet, but afaik its not a weak fleet (then again, I don't have that much technical know-how about the game. There's so many options with ships and gear that I just couldn't be bothered to learn all the ins and outs all this time. It's an overwhelming amount of options. Basically rn I'm just using a fleet that deals 1.0 - 1.15 mil damage in META Showdown - and the same as both attacking and defense fleet. Attacking isnt a problem unless the opponent has like 17500/16000 fleet power as mine has 16925/15093 (Musashi, Shinano, New Jersey, Shimakaze, Yuudachi, Sandy), but I lose 1000-2500 or so ranks every restock.
Speaking of gear is there anything worthwhile in the core shop useful in pvp other than the rainbow torpedo auxillary and the 2 super heavy shells for battleships?
You are correct in that the Oxy Torp and the White/Black Shells are the best core data shop equipment. However, the Grumman and Homing Beacon are decent choices to have on hand in case you have to play around with CV launch times (PvP or PvE). Also, for PvP you'll need the Aviation Gasoline for most CVs.
Hi, I have a question, I'm only Lv. 28 and my ships are under Lv. 100 (the highest I have is Lv. 80) Can I play the exercises with those statistics or i have to increase them? Thank you
You should play them to get exp and merit points. However don't expect to win too many. Unless you care about the vanity of win rate, just play and get exp/merit. Worry about ranking high later.
Occasionally the different regional servers (ie. CN v. JP v. EN) do. However the 4 global (EN) servers host the same events. This video has been in the process of being made for 2 months now (I kept placing higher priority on other more time sensitive content), so some of the clips are older.
No. The only reason to have a good defense fleet is to potentially have an opponent lose and thus not gain rank score. This will help you rank higher than them at the end of the season. Note using a farmable (bad) defense fleet will allow lower players to pass you. Early in the season this can be seen as a good thing as you can farm them back for more points from them (and then later on switch to a good fleet and beat them).
@@AzurLaneMeta coinsidence. i think after 2 months after global opens, we are just hanging out in the chat room and in chat you can see the chat fills out with sandy constructions. and we're just joking about it that sandy bless you. thats my version. btw room3 are the nodders
Ya, part of me is still sad I threw matches away early on in my account for the exp. It was the right thing to do, but it does make my win% lower to this day.
Me: Wow. I'm climbing ranks super fast. Wonder what Azur Lane Meta rank is? *Realizes you have the highest rank* Hmm. As a JROTC cadet, *Attention! Present, arms (salute in military)!!!*
Ya some of these clips are older. I have since updated my recording settings to increase their quality in future videos. Running the game, an emulator, and a record software can be resource intensive 😊.

Me: Salute.
If you're going to talk the talk, you should probably walk the walk... 😉
@@AzurLaneMeta Subscribed and now patiently waiting for your next videos, Admiral.
You don't necessarily have to close and re-open the game to update the opponents. You can log out from the settings menu too. It's a little faster
Good tip. Personally, I just close the app when I'm done playing. Then I reopen and do exercises first.

hey man. i just "discovered" you and i really like your videos for azur lane. you got my sub
Well the channel is pretty new, so you're not too late to the game. Welcome and thanks for the sub.
i have played the game for two years and i didn't even know that there will be point differences for attacking players with different rankings/points
Haha, I guess you can always learn something about the mechanics of AL.

Just3c has a pretty good guide for PvP. Although if I recall PVP is actually you versus a fleet assembled by another player but is controlled by AI.
Both fleets are controlled by the AI for Exercises.
He does? Which video is it? I don’t recall it.
@@QuyetNguyen-qv8gw Actually I'd be interested in seeing this video if you can link it.
@@AzurLaneMeta it's right he......ok I can't find it.....uhh......I think I confused it with vids on his ship reviews.
wait do different servers have different events?

I'm pretty new to the game tbh, is it fine to do excercises despite losing for the merit and exp?
Yes, this is even the recommended practice for newer players. That is unless you have too much pride for your Exercise WR%.
@@AzurLaneMeta It's definitely late to care about that lol, it stings but again, I need everything I need!
So we get more merit if we make the defense fleet meta?
No. The only reason to have a good defense fleet is to potentially have an opponent lose and thus not gain rank score. This will help you rank higher than them at the end of the season. Note using a farmable (bad) defense fleet will allow lower players to pass you.

Stop collecting AotN mail rewards! =)
NO! I refuse. =)
ohhh we have similar main fleet positioning except i use shouhoko for CV.

@@AzurLaneMeta I prefer myself as a room4(sandy) cultist. But that still works
@@wilfordpadio7531 Ahhh... A Sandy cultist, they are alive and thriving on my Discord server as well. Why room 4, may I ask?

@@wilfordpadio7531 Lol nice. Which server is this?
Nice video
Nice comment
Does anyone know if defense fleet earn XP when being challenged?
The answer is sadly no.
Yea it took me a while before I had a playable fleet so I'm sitting at like 75%wr today lol
Ya, part of me is still sad I threw matches away early on in my account for the exp. It was the right thing to do, but it does make my win% lower to this day.
When I saw 666 subscribers, I felt sorry to sign up and ruin this beautiful number.
Don't worry about it. I'm not upset 😉.
oh dang look at how this channel's grown in 12 months
This list is kinda redundant tbh. Especially since there is no actual pvp
Me: Wow. I'm climbing ranks super fast. Wonder what Azur Lane Meta rank is? *Realizes you have the highest rank*
Hmm. As a JROTC cadet, *Attention! Present, arms (salute in military)!!!*
Haha, well good luck on your AotN journey.

Enty. owari da. best waifu. use her. love her.
tfw playing AL since global launch
tfw only did bare minimum PVP to obtain free skins from events
PvP is not for everyone in AL and that's fine.
It hurts to watch this video because of the hololive event which I missed when I started playing
Why? Just because it was scrolling past on the event banner at the beginning when I was introducing the video?
Bluestacks cant play azur lane
It most certainly can. I do it all the time. Have you updated it? What OS do you use?
Why are you lagging man

Exercises are the most unfair shit I've evr seen
How so?
