"Vauquelin is my favorite ship out of this event btw" Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well. I already liked her since she appeared in Tartu's event.
I just want you to know that I really appreciate these reviews that you do. I’m sure lots of people do. I always look forward to them when a new event or new content comes out. Thank you!
This comes sooner than I expected, thanks! I thought you'll be busy with all the AK CC fresh start thing. So far I'm really liking the French ships' design. They're so cute and lovable (with a hint of lewd 😏). I think I might build a French fleet just because I like their design 😂 Initially wanted to do Russian fleet, but their individual usage is already good.
> No need to farm D3 for blueprints. That’s fine, I’m farming Elites in D3 to level Richelieu. Also, is the DD gun that drops from D1 not new? How good is that one?
I think Richie's ability is wrongly translated, it's not the first Manual shot, It is IF the first shot is manual So you can't do that trick of waiting till the Boss appears and change to Manual :(
Nice video, i really like how detailed are the informations you provide! But i have a question: how's Tartu? I really like her but don't know if she's good enough to be used. I thought about putting her between Algerie and Saint Louis/Jeanne d'Arc, with Richelieu flagship, but i'm not sure about the performance.
Well, at the very least we managed to get one good ship out of this event, though I do wish both Alg and d'Arc were better considering their rarity. Fairly fascinating that muse Gascogne actually gets some use when paired with Riche, as nearly all the muse ships leave a lot to be desired. My current French vanguard consists of d'Arc, Tartu, and Emile. They have a lot of buffing each other going on, and it seems to work pretty swell so far.
RIchi is definitely the greatest asset for future french fleet while currently none of french fllet that shine other than herself but at least french fleet is on one step right now and agree she is definitely top tier even said her dps is slightly higher than retro warspite and monarch and also Algerie is actually good on PvP due her torpedo shield can denies IJN torpedo squad at early make it give difference at start battle
Waited long enough! \owo/ And yay, I'm one of the lucky Commanders to get Richelieu on the very first day(1st day gang FTW!). Definitely going with mono French fleet as my 2nd main fleet(the 1st main being the IJN fleet). Still conflicted between the French quad gun and the triple gun, but now leaning towards the quad after this; after all, it's Richelieu's trademark BB gun, just like Jean Bart's.
Ah that's why I don't remember seeing guide about Richelle or Jeane, I don't have the center pieces (Richelieu) that's why I feel it's a wasted if I watch it but unable to implement it
Tbh your 2nd comp looks good but first is Algerie + Jeane + Saint Louis , Tartu buff aint big enough to make Jeane go even if survival is not priority. But yeah they have 2 pretty neat vanguards with Rich support.
what appropriate level do you think farming D1 would be a possibility with my team. My boss fleet is Bismarck (105), Portland(99), And Laffey(99) (Retrofit) mob fleet is Phoenix(100), Yorktown(100), and Sandy(95). who do you think I should add or adjust and level on the C Map
Thanks for the video as always! Vauquelin is my favorite from the event too. Her design and color pallet are amazing and her personality is hilarious. Also her VA did a great job capturing her energetic self oposite to Tartu who she also voiced and nailed.
Can anybody confirm how Jeanne's burn (de)buff works? Does her tick damage get overridden by higher-caliber shells from enemy BB/BCs? Or is it a separate special burn, like Richie's skill?
I always love your reviews and how you damage test and compare stats yourself, it saves a lot of time and just want to make a comment to say that i've been watching your vids since this game released and I really appreciate you. Also good luck with the Arknights CC new account you are doing for fun
I am 3 days in AL and have half of french team with Richelieu, Algerie and Vauqeulin. I think with this faction completed its time to made a personal tier list of all ships in the game?
I was so so so excited for this event when i first saw Jeanne, its literally heaven for me... But have to say that Richie won my heart too, looks AMAZING, it's AMAZING
I've spent over 100 cubes and all I've gotten are 2 Algeries, 2 Hoods, and 2 Prinzs. I think I've only gotten like 2 elites too, and they were non-event. Rate up's a joke.
still waiting for Vauquelins to spook from there remaining triple daily roll... tired of burn more cubes to chase Jeanne D'Arc from gacha after got 2 Richie & 2 Algirie... ended exchange her from shop...
Bearn doesn't seem that unique to me, she seems very similar to Zeppy, maybe slight upgrade since Zeppy only has 1 barrage. Having torp planes over dive bombers might be considered a downgrade though, right? Houshou is also similar to these two carriers, but Houshou has no barrage AND no firepower stat. So Houshou is now the non-typical gun aircraft carrier with no firepower as 2 out of 3 of these do have firepower.
The thing about Bearn is her dmg timing. Between the faster load on first airstrike, barrage and extra airstrike, she can push out multple screen wide AOEs in the first 30s into each fight. Plus she has the extra range on her auxiliary gun, which helps clearing out trash leftover mobs as well. So when fighting low level enemies, she can provide more firepower than 2 battleships combined. She is basically a fully upgraded Zeppy, better in every way.
Vauquelin seems above average for me, pretty good balance between gun/torps efficiency and she will shine with Emile+Richelieu buffs. At least it's definitely above "collectable" tier if you really like her.
Thanks a lot for the review. I was really worried when Vauquelin refused to come up and she only just appeared a few hours ago. I had been spending all my coins on her instead of limit breaking anyone for the avatar frame.
I really do think using any kind of voice would help your videos a lot, I'm kind of okay with just text on screen, but if you added any kind of voiced commentary it would help your videos greatly. You're probably the best AL RUclipsr, but your content is kind of gimped by the format of your videos, I know for a fact that you could grow even bigger if you had voiced dialogue.
Is the French fleet usable on auto? I am mostly playing at work, so playing on auto is more discrete and you can work while the girls are doing their best, but I really like the french ships. I was thinking Algérie/Le Triumphant/Jeanne vanguard and Richelieu/Jean Bart/Gascogne (or some carrier) for main fleet. Would that be any good on auto?
Hi, if D3 is not worth farming, what would be most efficient map? Someone have numbers? Or a good drop like the DD gun in D2 in the previous Iris event ? Thx Just3c I always wait for your video :D
yeah... makes me sad since Le Malin is also kinda lacking with skills very medicore for SSR , same for Z46 and focus on AP DD guns. Still top tier waifus.
Mario this reminds me of Carabiniere. Another DD with a great design but is not viable. I hope she gets a retrofit to put her close to at least Laffey’s stats.
Question on Bearn: if I'm understanding the game mechanics properly, would using her alongside another carrier effectively shorten your total airstrike reload time?
That's vs Bosses *with* Richelieu, since Gascogne Muse is all about her shelling and her first skill has amazing armor modifiers. Normal Gascogne still has her barrage and massive tankiness.
i love your reviews always waiting for your videos also yep vauquelin is my favourite ship in this event too... i want to hug her sometimes :3 btw. what auxiliary should i use for Tashkent im using oxy torp and repair tools for her is it good or i have to change the oxy torp since her torpedo is weak (i was thinking about the stronghold report gear that gives 20 FP) idk you till me what to use XD
You are on the right track, the 20 FP is really good with Tashkent and other similar gun DDs like Laffey and Z23. Repair Tools/Fire Suppressor are always good aux for the other spot.
I mean, isn't that always what happens? The starter DDs are so powerful no other Elite-rarity DD is ever going to come close to comparing, and its even worse because Vauquelin has a very poor stat line overall.
@@megalith Agreed. Few ships in the game can even compare to Laffey though, with her insane reload, so that just leaves comparing Tashkent to Nimi... and sad to say, Nimi still comes out on top-- at least in sheer damage potential, at any rate. While Tashkent's S2 can increase her main gun efficiency on par to Nimi's, Nimi gets 175% base line, which combined with her higher firepower and guaranteed crits still puts Nimi's damage far ahead of Tashkent's. Tashkent's issue is that her gun (the Twin 130 (B-2LM)) and her fairy summon is only normal ammo, which hampers her damage output considerably. Whereas Nimi (and even Laffey) prefers the Single 138.6mm which is HE. Nimi can also equip CL guns, which can let her have AP shells for even more damage against medium and heavy. Don't get me wrong I love the fact that the starter ships are so powerful and aren't regulated to mere collection status (except maybe Javelin, she needs a full HMS fleet), but it also feels like the starter DDs limit future DDs and their usefulness; we're always going to be comparing other DDs to the starting trinity and Ayanami.
Thanks for the review 3c, being unlucky with Richelieu and Algeríe really like me since she has pop up 3 times... also got Jeanne from my rolls which were quite surprising xD
