Corrections:
18:09 - Misread Lutzow. There was a ; there. Thus the 10% doesn't stack it happens as a passive at all times.
3:00 - I did not really clarify well how Emden's "double torpedoes" work and how her LB3 affects it:
- Torpedo Waves per cool down Period -
Regular ships with preloaded torpedo
1 -> 1 -> 1 -> 1
Ships with no preloaded torpedo (i.e. Roon)
0 -> 1 -> 1 -> 1
Ships with double preloaded torpedo(i.e. Ibuki or Shimakaze)
2 -> 1 -> 1 -> 1
Emden
0 -> 2 -> 2 -> 2
with Emden Uldricht will surpass NJ easily they were preatty similar on damage, with that 10% damage buff it will be good
Are any of these ships any good?
@@parapat9957 UvH already passes NJ in many ways
Emden is terrible in many ways and there are better units to buff uvh with
Not worth it
It seems Emdens skill only buffs vanguard i got from someone that worked on the datamine if thats true than she will lose a lot of potential
@@parapat9957 i am more interested in if that will make FdG better than DoY in the prime setup
I like how they're handling the WW1 era ships, make them statistical weaker but make up with better skills.
Makes sense they're not as advanced as new ships but make this up with been experienced veterens, really opens up what ships they can use hell WW1era Royal navy alone had 82 capital ships.
This also opens the possibility of having ships like Iron Duke, Dreadnought and Queen Mary for the HMS; which is a big plus
Haha that assumes that HMS even gets through their WW2 line up anytime soon.
@@AzurLaneMeta HMS? You mean the Help (need) More Ships faction?
@@koyokoyo675 Scratch those hulks! The K-class subs will be the horror story re-enacted.
I'm planning to use lutzow, deuchland and tallinn in one fleet. Hope they not argue whose the real one
Haha this would be a fun one.
Doesn’t Deutschland hate being called Lützow?
24:53, quick correction: Sms Yorck is not PR1 Roon’s sister ship. Yorck is part of the early 1900s Roon-Class Armored Cruisers built for the Imperial German Navy. PR1 Roon is an upsized Nuremberg designed by Wargaming. You can tell them apart by their different turret on their riggings.
Otherwise thank you for your video and insight as always.
I never said Yorck was Roon's sister. I'm aware the PR1 Roon is a make believe ship made up by WoW that assumed the SMS Roon-class name would be reused by the KMS.
@@AzurLaneMeta Ah, pardon the misunderstanding then. Because you compared Yorck to PR1 Roon, I assumed you confused the two classes (although I wouldn't oppose Manjuu giving PR1 Roon a sister ship).
So Roon's mom.
Even if it was a misunderstanding, shoutout to the small history lesson for people like me. This type of shit is interesting af. I do like the real life history aspect of ships but I'm always so overwhelmed by where to even start ya know. Bite sized info like this is great to read
Holy hell Al did the AL thing and represented Emdens rich history of raiding perfectly with her skills. I really like how much effort they put into the real history of the boats :D
Shame they aren't more consistent with that but yeah
Its also great that most of these ships arent good
Ww1 thingy
Yep, the skills team puts effort into character design. Good work manjuu.
Love Seydlitz, she was hit 20 times with Battleship shells and torpedoed she still managed to bring her crew safely back to port before sinking.
She didnt sink but was repaired in Port for 3 Months
Seydlitz seems like that one ship that thinks it's a fair fight when she's outnumbered
In Irl that's actually true LMAO
@@vincentotaku1575 Ooo a history lesson
"WE WANT NEW HMS!!!!"
"LMAO, SMS IT IS!!!!"
Emden attacked my hometown! She snuck into the harbor on the 28th of October 1914 disguised as a British cruiser and sank the Russian cruiser Zhemchug before escaping, sinking the French destroyer Mosquet on the way out. She would be destroyed attempting to destroy the British radio station on the Cocos Islands by the HMAS Sydney. The raiding party she'd landed to try and destroy the station escaped and wound up making an epic journey halfway round the world before successfully returning to Germany. Her wreck would remain in place until 1950, by which time it had mostly broken up on its own, what little remaining being scrapped. There's a cenotaph on the Esplanade commemorating the Russian and French sailors killed that day and their graves are still maintained. The Eastern & Oriental Hotel - where the Captain of the Zhemchug, Baron I. A. Cherkassov, was staying at when Emden showed up - is still around, was restored in the mid 2000s and continues to operate to this day.
Yadda yadda. Its a ship I have a lot of interest in.
SMS Emden is in the top billing in this new event for a reason.
This event adds three vanguard ships and three main fleet ships. Pretty sure that means you can make a full SMS fleet.
And the fact that SMS is german for HMS, well... maybe that's a sign of things to come.
Then we also have the fact that Mini Eugen exist: Prince of Wales... maybe forgot "protection" that night, or Akashi did something with Eugen.
Final note: Lützow drank the blood of Royal Navy girls, if her skin's something to go on. Maybe that's why Sheffield's a vampire hunter...
Warship geek from WoWS here, just want to answer your question of "what's with this event having ships with weird equipment setups". Since these are SMS and not KMS, they are "prewar" era so WW1 and stuff. Back in WW1, lack of AA was fine because carriers and plane warfare was not considered a strong strategy of fighting back then so most Battleships or "Dreadnoughts" used more guns and firepower instead. These ships in the game having more guns in their slots and less AA is the result of this 👍
7:30 Mikasa is the only other WWI pre-dreadnought with the option of no AA gun (in this case, she just can't equip one)
Pre WW1 btw
@@pringle239 yes, my bad
lil eugen is like lil renown better skill than their orignal form
That can happen when the OG form is not very good in the first place.
She basically got the RoonM treatment
Thanks for this. I was confused as to who are the members of the Imperial German Navy (SMS) and it's leader because when Iron Blood got new members I thought they were an improved version of the fleet. If you can, can you tell me who are the members of the SMS so I can separate them from the Kriegsmarine
Emden's second skill (reduce 11hp 5s after battle start) should activate FDG's first skill right?
There is a lot of value on this event knowing how unique or gimmicky these ships are, meta or not they are all worth having due to being WW1 ships makes their value high, gotta love my ships whether WW2 or 1 are they in
I think the biggest takeaway from this event is that the Ram Lord, GLOWWORM, has found a new acolyte in Little Prinz Eugen.
God have mercy on us all, for the GLOWWORM may not.
EX TENEBRIS, LUX!
On the contrary, the RAF conducted the first offensive from an “aircraft carrier” in WWI, against Zeppelin base at Denmark. The “aircraft carrier” in question is HMS Furious, a converted battlecruiser. I’m excited for her tbh, and with two other aviation battleships in game, she is a great addition to the collection.
Considering UR event in may, i'm probably gonna do 3 dailies pull only. Because my cube is very unsettling
Also Emden's slow looks like it could be Synced pretty well with UvH which would stack the slow, that + 10% FP buff could make Emden a Signiant Boss fleet buffer for IB. You could go one better and get Agir's slow in there on the same timer as well, and really get bosses at a stand still.
Ya Emden looks like she was made to pair with UvH.
Thanks for the video as always! I'm excited to play around with the new ships, and hide those loading screens from people...
You're welcome!
I wonder how well Emden and Seydlitz fit with ships like FDG and UVH
I would suspect pretty well.
The "Shadows of the Past" might not be limited to just SMS, and could probably apply to other WW1 Ships.
Wonder if they stealth added it to Mikasa and Avrora.
Also, since this event seems to be that Scapa Flow is a RN/IB cooperative research, the next RN event may have some ships from that too.
That would be a cool if it went to other WW1 ships.
Is Lutzow's "10% chance for extra 3000 damage" based on per hit, or per volley? Does each main gun hit from a volley have its own chance to proc that damage, or is it 10% as long as at least one shell from a volley hits? If it's former, that makes it way better, potentially broken in fact, but if it's the latter it's pretty meh.
Per hit. Each has it's own chance.
So if you put quadruple main cannons on her, there's a chance, even if astronomically small, that all 12 shells hit the same target and proc the extra damage, all together 36000 extra damage in a single volley.
As weird as this thing is, I actually kind of like it.
So I wonder how Seydlitz First ability works with other damage reduction? with Graf, UvH in another party, and with Cats we could go as high as 26% KMS Damage reduction. now Lets say Seydlitz is in a fleet with Graf, and Graf gets hit with 100 damage. Does *that* damage get -26, to 74, then of that Graf recieves 30 (40%) and Sedylitz 35 (60% reduce by 20%) but then does that 35 get reduced further because Sedylitz her 26% damage reduction on the 35 since thats when she takes damage? It just seems Seydlitz with Graf and UvH support could be really strong for a KMS PVE without a healer but working out how the Damage reduction hits seems complicated
Best way to find out is to test it and see how the calculate has it's order of operations set up.
On the Segment for York, i dont really get behind comparing her to PR Roon and even calling her, her sister. The only relation the two of the have is that PR Roon was named after the same Person the original class of armored cruisers was.
They are both Iron Blood CAs. So they are competing for the same class. Agir and the Prinz sisters are CB eligible so Roon is definitely the closest role competition. Also, I never called them sisters, but given the WoWs Roon was named after the SMS Roon-class, I did compare them.
If I was to guess, would Seydlitz be the flagship of the SMS Imperial German Navy?
Thanks for the video as always, found out about the game through your videos :)
I like this dakka secondary design, definitely reflects their "turret farm" look irl.
I cant wait to see their Limit Break buffs though, I'm defo slapping them in my fleet if they get more secondary buffs (more dakka along with Odin :drool:)
Emden's LB3 buff is bonkers.
@@AzurLaneMeta Well who would've known, count me in!
@@AzurLaneMeta Her stats are not that good tough
Even for a kms fleet she feels quite bad
Bruh im already rlly low on cubes going in to this event because of Perseus and we getting a UR event on may...
Mikasa also has the same loadout of BB gun/CL gun/DD gun, but she doesn't have the option to equip an AA gun.
Still, I wouldn't advice newbies to take these ships to w12 or w13.
Is there anyone here who have successfully changed Emden's outfit? or does it only work on her skin?
Obviously I will get every1 but the shipgirl I’m most interested in and excited for is little prinz eugen. She is absolutely precious and deserves lots of love. U can bet I’ll be oathing her ASAP. But other than her my 2nd most fav part of this event is that finally after all these years hipper is now getting her own skin. It’s not the best in the world but it’s still a fine dress. That skin will be an upgrade to her beauty and will be her new normal.
Now that my mind is wondering... I wonder how long it will be b4 the expert artists will have r34 and doujins made of little prinz eugen. I must be patient for them.
Should I be concerned?
Does Lutzow's 3rd skill stack?
That would also mean that in a perfect world, every 10 times she hits, after 3s that target takes 3000 damage
Any time the main gun hits, there's a chance
@@AzurLaneMeta Damn, that's kinda busted right?
A change I would like them to make is to have Battlecruiser be "closer" to the vanguard, similar to Odin, but in there same slot.
Odin is a very special ship.
Man that was too good, I'm all for bring in the WWI ships to help supplement KMS, but also I am an IB-stan so I'm bias lol
Mikasa finally has some competition to face off with.
Mainly Thuringen, Elbing, Yorck, & Emden.
it seems that you forget to mention emden's ability to reload both torpedo bases at the same time at mlb?
Ya I said double torpedoes, but I added more context to that statement in the pinned comment.
Why do think of battlefield 1? For this event
Also I get kancolle abyssal vibes for emdon dark half
With this new sub-faction feature I wonder if we'll finally get Canadian ships in the game as a sub-HMS faction.
That opens the door for some potential, but still more unlikely than likely.
You kinda have Comet (HMCS Restigouche by 1938), Crescent (HMCS Fraser by 1937), Cygnet (HMCS St. Laurent by 1937), Fortune (HMCS Saskatchewan by 1943) and Foxhound (HMCS Qu'Appelle by 1944)
lil p.eugen really got that protecc vibe
The main thing I care about Lützow: Can we please get that shark a a plush toy in the AL store somewhere in the future? xD
I am a new player, what is a "CHAT FRAME"? please :C
Couldn't catch the premiere since I had to submit an assignment but the new ships are really cool, not necessarily meta defining but not absolutely terrible, and they have interesting new skills like with Emden and Seydlitz
All good, glad you made it eventually.
I guess little Eugen does not need protection from us because of her skill
I guess not, she's got it taken care of herself.
Thank you for the breakdown as always ! LONG LIVE IRON BLOOD !!!
As a relatively new player it's kinda annoying that every event people keep saying UR event is soon. Like I don't want to spend cubes for nothing when like next month the best UR ship ever will drop and I won't have enough to get her. Wasn't there supposed to be 4 UR this year? We're already basically in May now with only 1 UR Russian event.
New UR Events will most likey be 3 months apart from each other after this event the next one should be a UR Event and than we should also see Shinano Rerun this year hopefully
Next with be a rerun then a new event so new UR is likely end of May.
And as a new player don't worry about it, the game can be completed with easy to obtain ships just aim for the event ships you really want for now, when I first started I think it was the 3-4 event that I finally had the resources to get every ship and haven't missed any since.
UR’s are extremely low drop chance and the pity is 200 builds. Btw that’s 300k gold over a 2 week period. So unless you’re saving up all your gold and cubes to guarantee yourself the next UR ship, you should just build for whoever you like.
@@Nivomandasrail most people get the UR within 80-100 pulls which is about 150k gold and 200 cubes which is why every event I try not to drop below 100 cubes If I dont have the ships but yea RIP to those unlucky
Would it be bad or good for the game if every new ship was new jersey tier?
Maybe 1 a year would be okay. More than that can be a bit much.
What does "paper ship" mean?
That they are not related to a real ship in history. These are usually planned ships that in the course of the war were never made.
@@AzurLaneMeta Ah that makes sense, thank you
Soo how will a kms pvp fleet look after this event?
My initial thought is to try - Seydlitz, Lutzow, FDG, Emden, Leipzig, Agir.
@@AzurLaneMeta oh okay . I hope they make more sms battleships/ battlecruiser to work with Seydlitz
Since these are older ships will they get retros :p
Nope after their defeat in ww1 they got interned in scapa flow where they await their fate. Once they got hint of the becoming a war prize they decided to scuttle the whole sms fleet all at same time. Rather than let me fall in enemy hand.
New log in screen's artwork is breathtaking
The Seydlitz screen?
Really nice event, I really like the lore behind this event, well I like AL lore in general. The new ships designs are good (as always) and the skins are breath taking! Good luck
Yeah I agree
TL; DR - Which ships gonna be good / very good?
Not any of them
Pretty much waifu only
As expected from ww1 ships
Can't wait for Little Eugen plus I'm skipping the event cuz im saving for UR Event
who is the next ur?
@@antievos7 we don't know yet
@@sophiasimp5482 oh, hoping it's shinano 🙇
@@antievos7 Shinano is coming but we don't know when?
Next UR probably Shinano Rerun,I don't think Yostar and Manjuu will hammer you with this event then new UR event in short time
I said sht about Syedlitz on the stream but , yeah I must get her as soon as possible for PVP uses lmao, same with her sister lutzouw. And that Emden skin is what I'm definitely going to get along with her. I'm still gonna use her because of that pogger 2 & 1 character design lmao. Cubes not in danger , ready to go all out in this one .
There are way better options for pvp tough
She just lives and thats it
Not like bismarck was any good
With HMS UR, Vanguard propably only one that would fit, unless they go full paper or WW1
Audacious? Daring? Maybe Tiger? Or Nubian?
how about Lion or Temeraire?
There's a few ships they can use Vanguard is the most obvious but there's others like HMS Tartar but I personnally think it'll be a carrier either Indomitable or one of the Implacable or Audacious classes.
Kinda sad that Little Eugen shield skill is objectively better than the original one. Makes me all the more coping for UR Prinz Eugen
Ya, but retrofit some day maybe.
I really wish that atleast 1 of the elites would be decent, I dunno about you guys but in these recent events the elites seem to be hotter than the SRs thuringen looks hot as hell wish she would be goof
no data on map drops?
1:24
@@AzurLaneMeta lol, im used for it to be at the end of the video
I'm so ready for this event got like 250+ cubes saved up lol
Be careful to save some for May. 400 cubes needed for UR pity. Also good luck on pulls!
@@AzurLaneMeta Thanks for the information!
I really like this event. Mostly because of the design of the ships and the new skins. I already want to get at least 3 skins from this event. My wallet will hurt 😢 I just wish they could have make Yorck a bit stronger, I will like her design😏. Anyways great video as always!
Thanks good luck
Emden: Get Emden free 1 wife
Seydiltz: The KanColle Prinz Eugen look alike
Lutzow: Hates hassle, likes to sleep
Elbing: Must protect at all costs !!!
Yorck: T7 CA (wows reference)
Thuringen: Iron blood's Portland look alike
i dont remember how much event i skiped but i will skip to it aswell
Lil Eugen 1st skill literally said "Must Protecc".
Ya but she's doing the protecting, not the other way around.
I love this event I’ve got all the ships I’m hoping for WWI HMS event because you can’t have the high seas fleet without the grand fleet! Also this opens up new possibilities like An Shun but where she opens up the future these girls open up the past, HMS Victory when?
I think this was the best Iron Blood event they could have done for this time slot.
Emden design is top tier srsly
I would say that Sedylids looks more like an adult z25 rather than a kid bisko
Thanks for the input, I wouldn't have thought of that at first glance.
KMS and now SMS are always going to be free points in PvP lol
The High Seas Fleet is approaching, and then The Grand Fleet is preparing their guns .
Emden and Lutzow obtained.
Congrats!
Im conflicted being a new returnee to AL I want as much ships as possible and maybe even build a IB fleet.
but lots of talks about a new UR coming soon I may have to save cubes for that too.
Kronk was a pretty decent UR I kinda don't want to miss out on a future UR.
Seydlitz’s first skill can increase her FP by 18%. How does this increase by 18% multiplier work? Her base FP stat which is 389 at lv125? Or 389 + 45 + 45 + 35 (from the guns) then x18%? Does anyone know?
She got the 18% boost after the flat amounts because the skill only activates in the battle, meaning she starts the battle with her base damage (that is 389 Fp on lvl 125) + Fp from main gun and aux then she got the +18% on them.
Don't mind events like this as I can take it easy on cubes. Get the free ships and I get what a get after a couple of full pulls.
ELBONG???
ELBONG!
'what is with this event having rly weird eq.-s?' - WW1 SHIPS BABY, WW1 SHIPS :D
MORE GERMAN UR'S, END OF MAY GERMAN UR. WHO NEEDS BRITISH SHIPS ASIDE FROM TARGET PRACTICE?
I do prefer German ships tbh and now have two KMS/SMS fleets now, but a British UR would be cool
Elbing have heterochromia eyes that matches her beauty. Interesting 🎩👌
yay another 30 minute video to watch
I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not lol.
good
i cant sit through a 30 minute video about stats. i like tldr about what to get and what isnt as important to get but i dont think that's your type of content because your channel discusses meta stuff
Well, gonna be a fun Event for sure, though im concerned over the amount of people skipping the Event with a UR Event on the Future Horizon. Also, I am definitly going to build a full fleet with the new" WW1 Ships.
I'm not skipping, the 3 SRs will be mine!
All event ships arent good tough
Thats expectable bcuz ww1 ships
When will the next UR event gonna drop tho?
@@m.a.daniel910 in about a month. It should be the next New Event after this one.
Is it really hard to get UR compared to SR?
Damn, I hope 60 cubes is enough. I started just about 3 weeks ago, downloaded the game right after listening to Sabaton - Bismarck. I failed to get Perseus but thankfully got Howe. Hope this event is nicer to me cause I LOVE KMS umu!
Events typically have reruns in the far future so even if you miss out, you’ll still be able to have a chance to get them again!
Good look fellow commander, may the cube guide them to your dock
Yep, not to mention a cn event is soon and there may or may not be a ur with it. A rerun of a UR should be this year too.
I'd skip this for CN anni if I were you
better save those for soon coming Shinano and one mysterious UR this year. 800 cubes only!!!
hello can you do new gear video?
Use both Hiryuu and Seydlitz in PvP
Enterprise and a Manjuu item so you'll have an INVINCIBLE main fleet.
Manjuu really can't afford to screw up next month ngl. Has to be big and high quality
True, although I thought this was a high quality event.
@@AzurLaneMeta I think it's okay for what it is, but I keep reading more and complaints with each event now so I think Manjuu need to hit it out of the park with the anni at this point
@@silverhost9782 i only see EN complaining actually JP seems to really like the Ships from what i can gather
@@austriandevil3941 I've seen plenty of complaining from all regions tbh. I don't find it surprising, Manjuu keeps making weird decisions

Tiger or Minotaur🤞🏼
absolutely murdering the german shipnames
Military History Visualized, the narrator is not.
just a small btw Yorck has nothing to do with Roon - they aint related at all~
Not related at all... Both Iron Blood CAs in a "Roon class". Yes I know that the PR1 Roon is a made up ship from WW2 era and this Roon-class is different from WW1 era.
@@AzurLaneMeta same deal as WW1 era königsberg and WW2 era königsberg - same ship class name but otherwise not related, and okay~
wow this event is an easy skip for me
Honestly same. Big cube savings to be had, I want enough that I can spam the PR5 cube research when it comes out lol
What ship/event/faction are you waiting for?
@@AzurLaneMeta ruclips.net/video/QFsFiDRwPqc/видео.html
Yeah, same.
I'm more excited for the possible new ship they mentioned in the story
[SPOILER]
Bismarck METAmorphosis ("Meta" was all caps in the story)
so we may get a new more powerful Bismarck soon
[SPOILER]
Fingers crossed!
Would be fun if they reworked hood too with her skills she is soo useless now cause of powercreep
Knowing all META variants of the original SSRs beforehand, she may suffer from META Syndrome and just be an inferior version of her original counterpart.
The pickaxe returns. I am ready for this event
Returns? Did it ever go anywhere?
@@AzurLaneMeta i meant that we have another data mine video since they are always my favorite. And data mines = pickaxe
I will pull all gramma
Good luck on you pulls!
This is first Ironblood I feel meh about and likely do casual (depending on hard map drops) play. Seeing WWI kansens would be something I expected to see once Yostar depletes pool of WW2 ships (both built and planned). Saving few hopium pills for UR HMS event in May.
They didn't even use like 80%of the ships in ww2 so idk whats with the ww1 ships
What are they even doing
They've depleted the German WW2 pool. In real life they had a crap navy so that's why. Of course other factions have lots of real WW2 ships to add but Manjuu doesn't seem to be interested in them lol
@@silverhost9782 No lmfao
Germany has TONS of ships waiting to be released
@@kyarumomochi5146 All of them are DDs and submarines, with only 2 or 3 notable cruisers left. They won't do an event from just that. At best you might get one event worth of ships from what's left I guess
@@silverhost9782 There is alot of ships still remaining on KMS silo
Wiki says
More German ships are welcome, regardless of their relative "use", for me. So glad I managed to get my cubes over 400 in time.
I think the reasons that these ships arent that good compared to ones we have is because
They are WW1 ships how can they compared
And UR event is coming soon so making a broken unit on this event would be annoying for many

At least these ships have unique art and a good set of skins, I hope they release better WW1 ships. I’m out of coins for this event and out of orundum for Nearl 😫
I just finished the event since I have to do everything no matter how bad it is. It was cute to see Manjuu add in yet another Eagle Union cameo to try and make it seem like they're relevant or even matter. The only thing that could have made this better is if the Royal Navy had made a cameo appearance as well and also pretended to be important to these developers. Seriously, it's a joke from a very transparently biased developer. The game is almost 5 years old, and despite both being the world's largest and most powerfull navys, the RN and EU have had events that have little to no bearing on the story. Axis Lane chose its path and sealed its fate. Of this we already bear witness.
hms copium
I like how they're handling the WW1 era ships, make them statistical weaker but make up with better skills.
Makes sense they're not as advanced as new ships but make this up with been experienced veterens, really opens up what ships they can use hell WW1era Royal navy alone had 82 capital ships.
The devs ain't gonna cram every single one of those 82 real-life money sinks. Game already has Queen Elizabeth, Warspite, Valiant, Renown, Repulse, Glorious (currently a flattop in the game), Arkhangelsk (the superdread formerly known as Royal Sovereign in NorPar hands), Eagle (as a Sardegna-trolling flattop in WW2), Erebus and Terror.
Missing WW1 Royal warships that fought in WW2 are Iron Duke (1912-1946), Courageous, Revenge, Ramillies, Royal Oak, Resolution, Malaya, Barham, Pegasus (the 7,000-ton flattop and former bearer of the Ark Royal name) and Argus (completed as a flattop three months before the end of WW1).
Bonus point to heavy cruiser Vindictive who/which was finished a month before the end of WW1.
Any Dreadnought (1906) beggar will be keelhauled.
