Depends what you're going to be doing with the fleet. Early-mid PvE allows for basically anything.

If you want to get the most out of her you'd need a CV heavy fleet. On her own she's pretty average damage wise, good AA and a very good barrage. So she'll probably do good work if you have some gold 100mm guns for her.

Belle is mostly a PvP ship but a good one, Hood is solid if you didn't get Amagi, but PoW is only good if you have a very solid 5 Eagle ship fleet for her to be in. California isn't anything special, might be okay for running a poverty fleet (but that's really a job for Hyuuga). Indy is okay early because she's pretty tanky, but when you get more ships there are better CAs.

 

Personally I'd go for something more utilitarian than rings if you're playing for free. Port slots or dorm slots for example. Early dorm slots pays off in the long run to level ships faster and keeping them happy.

Well i have all three of the yorktown sisters including *inhales* yorkie herself, i have lusty, graffus spiffus, unicornz and miss booooooooogue.

 

I didn't realise she had a barrage ability, so im guessing for pve shes decent not soo much for pvp?

but i loik california... ;-;. i have amagi but i put in her in one of my showcase fleets. Miss PoW is in a fleet with five murican ships atm. i was just wondering from a more waifus prespective (waits for senpai to tell me off and risoletteh to give me another lecture on leander ;-;)

Yorktown is very well rounded and also tanky. She's a good workhorse.

Enterprise is the alpha damage queen and really good in PvP.

Hornet is very similar to Enterprise and similarly focused on alpha damage.

Lusty is unfortunately not a very good CV since you don't have much use for pure AA CVs.

GZ is really solid in a fleet with lots of Ironblood ships.

Unicorn being one of only two effective healing ships is a must have on some harder maps or to support some weaker vanguards. Compared to Shouhou Kai though she's more support focused and brings less damage to the fleet.

Bouge is good for being a poverty CV. Might be good for building a low cost low tier farming fleet.

 

Sirius can be good for PvP as well against CV backlines.

Of course you can oath your favorite waifus. I was just trying to be conservative with your free gems. 

I oathed a few game-wise sub-optimal ships like Eugen, Warspite (Kai when?) and Sandy (Kai???), but I also spent a good chunk of cash on the game.

 

Morale isn't often an issue unless you spend very long farming with a low cost fleet. The biggest use of extra dorm slots is passive XP gain for more ships.

[Panocek]

Mine fleet is slowly shaping to be something, while I'm not farming 3-4 anymore, I still bump around 3-2 and 4-2 for designs/blueprints, while leveling up Anshan trio, Helena, Atlanta and whatnot. And DoY, somehow I like her almost poetic way with words. 

 

Akagi for so much effort getting her is straight up annoying she might condemn herself and her sis to eternal commission fleet though.

From the looks of it, CN might get the Narvik battle as next event? Considering they announced Hardy, Hunter and Z2 so far

Mini Event is called "Starry Sky over the Arctic Fjord", so...

Introduces Coastal Artillery as a new mechanic, which reduces your movement area if you waltz into their line of fire.

Info about the next phase of the WoWs x AL collab will drop on April 6th during a live event aboard the Mikasa btw.

I could have asked elsewhere but knowing the population of this thread...

 

Was Kirishima (the ARP captain ingame) always so hysterical? Let me explain: WG appears to have finally put her proper voice instead of Iona's, and I recall her being curt and a bit sarcastic in her remarks from the anime, but the screamings when being hit or set on fire are at the same level of Takao's and Ashigara's, which is something that doesn't fit her, if memory serves.

 

Well, I can check it out by myself later, but I thought it'd be faster this way.

 

Salute.

[Centurion_1711]

I haven't watched ARP for a while. Kirishima was always the more expressive out of her and Haruna, but not screamy if memory serves. Then as a teddy bear (spoiler, but I guess most will have seem it by now) she wasn't all squealing and such. I don't know, maybe WG thought that it was better that she was hysterical to portray the excitement of the game, or something.

 

On a side note...

Spoiler

If Harekaze was in Kancolle...

Kirishima have some speech from the teddy bear form, which her personality in teddy bear is a bit "cuter" so WG combined both form into one voice pack. So its fits her since she changed alot in teddy bear form.

[Panservogn1]

I like Takao best probably, but never got her, I've read the manga and watched the anime, and would say the same there, shes cool lol

(Plus her ship is great so..)

Wait the azur lane anime is out now?

IIRC Kirishima discovered "thrill of battle" for first time during Yokosuka battle instead target practice on usual surface vessels she encountered so far, so I guess she went tad too enthusiastic.

True, she discovers the thrill of battle at that point, but the thing is I don't remember her being so... let's say high-pitched (for her usual tone) in her enthusiasm. Centurion_1711 probably nails that it's just somehow exaggerated for game purposes, which works fine with Takao and Ashigara but not that much with Kirishima IMO.

 

Anyway, I suppose I'll use it as an excuse for watching the anime again this weekend.

I hope they recorded two different sets and Yotaroh's voice lines aren't as extreme (still in the barracks and untouched), because I'm planning to keep Kuma and put the teddy bear there as captain. Hoping in vain, I'm afraid.

You can always force other voiceover for all captains, Haruna is one damn calm one if you happen to have her. Or AL Hipper for tsundere needs. And I doubt for spare Yotaroh lines as WG certainly isn't willing/can't add new lines to catch up with the changes.

 

And tbh Kirishima isn't that high pitched for "normal" actions. She definitely gets excited for kills though.

[Nechrom]

I like to use Enterprise as VO for WoWs, she fits the more realistic setting. And you can't really top "Owarida!"-ing someone with a dev strike.

Unfortunately the same qualities that make her perfect for WoWs also makes her quite boring in AL.

I have Haruna, and that calmness is precisely what I like from her since I first watched the anime. I agree that Kirishima's excitement shows up mainly from kills, but also from fire, so I'll have to make her dance harder like I do with Takao.

 

AL Hipper... I thought about giving her her homonymous ship (and moving other captains up the line), but knowing now that she's a tsundere I'm doubting such decision. Putting her on trial in the PEF first then, let's see how her voice sounds like.

You know game options are a thing?

Spoiler

You can set voiceover without moving captains around

 

For getting voiceover of not purchased missing you can edit preferences.xml in game folder

 <voice_mod>IDS_SOUND_MOD_AZUR_LANE_AZUR_ENTERPRISE </voice_mod> or whoever you fancy

 

And for top keks Ashigara when flooding is unbeatable
