I would like to point out that it took 1 ship, 1 shell, aimed perfectly to end Hood. It took a fleet and all their arsenal to bring Bismarck to her knees. In the end, she was done in by her own hand. German Engineering.
Also, the difference in HP with Hood and Bismarck: during early PVP testing phases when pvp HP modifiers that were tested on “meta fleets” of the time, she probably just got a higher adjustment before Yongshi and Manju settled on a good stat for average SR battleships. (Sourced from #pvp of the AL English discord)
bisky is not lucky it took most of HMS top BBs and CVs to sink her i agree she got sunk by swordfish but theres a video about why she sank to them it says she did shot down many of em but some managed to survive due to german AA limitations and managed to cripple her
@@alexisv625 Not really a question of taste, it's just that Twin guns (and especially the 381) have a very fast reload, which is key of barrage based BB/BC like Hood
Ah Hood... a true opponent, unfortunate that the Royal Navy never learned their lesson at the battle of Jutland with battle cruisers.. if it was another king George class with Wales, maybe the fight would of gone differently, but alas it was Hood, and with superior Iron Blood technology, I sniped her out of the water~
You made a big mistake, hood's main gun should be 381mm, not 410 or never MK6, because hood has a low FP, her dmg depends on her barrage, so you want more speed.Specifically, when against a light to medium armored enemy, you want 381, when against heavy armored, use 406mmSKC
If you are new player, you can use 410 twin because of its high availability. Hood's personal twin 381 mm gun can only be obtained by researching, so not many during early game can gain access to said gun. And for new players, the cost to upgrade it won't be cheap.
5:05 I have two guesses for Tirpitz's increases health over Bismarck, 1. Tirpitz had an more durable rudder and slightly improved armor over the Bismarck, can't really find any sources for this though, but I know for certain Tirpitz did go through some refits that did improve her over Bismarck. 2. Tirpitz withstood strikes from around 1000 aircraft including several near misses of tallboy bombs, and two direct hits with the third one sinking her, each weighing 5 tons or 12000 kilograms and were designed to create earthquakes. Despite this she still sunk relatively intact which I suppose is a tad bit more impressive than withstanding the wrath of the entire British home fleet for several hours.
Hood:Hey Bismarck,do you know why I love listening to Sabaton's Red Baron Bismarck:Why Hood:It's because He actually shot down biplanes A joke I ripped from Reddit
Eh? I wouldn't use Triple 406mm nor Twin 410mm since it's just too slow for Hood. You're not abusing her barrage skill that way. The Twin 381mm is the only right answer here because it's faster. It's the sole reason on why they called it the "True Hood Gun" .
One barrage and one shelling would sometimes be enough for the whole stage with hood, so it's mostly situational, there isn't one true gun that's 100% perfect. I'd always hold out on hood's barrage so lower CD doesn't help much, Twin 410mm is good enough for me imo
You're getting better at this. I remember your first attempts to make this kind of videos. I just watched them because I enjoyed them not for infos because they were baaaaad and sometimes I wanted to cry. But now I watch the new ones because I hope I can hear something what I don't know about the game or something that might get me thinking. And of course I still like your bad jokes. :D Only one thing what I think I can suggest to this video. Most of the time I use "Twin 40mm Bofors STAAG" AA gun on BBs/BCs because of hit stat. I only use "Twin 113mm AA Gun" when I don't have Twin 44mm STAAG. Warspite has 100 accuracy which is the best among BBs/BCs. Even the weakest CA is better in accuracy than Warspite. Hood only had 68 Acc at Lv120. +10 accuracy is about +15% accuracy boost for her. She even don't have accuracy boost from skills like Warspite. If she misses her shots at higher Lv. bosses means a lot of DMG lose. So I think if you can then you should use "STAAG" AA guns on BBs/BCs. You need better AA only at higher lvls but you also need accuracy for overall better or constant DMG at that point. So "STAAG" is the winner for me. Not in all scenario but most of the time. Apart from that "Twin 113" is a good pick too.
Hood main gun should only either be the gold 381mm(spam barrage and get better damage than 410mm if you can play with luck), the purple 410mm( stable damage with quick barrage, commonly known as a hood gun.) and gold 406mm(a better version of purple 410mm)
There is no way in hell Amagi’s barrage is better than Hood’s barrage Hood’s barrage is way more focused on has weird modifiers that eat everything up Hood is better than Amagi, she can be used everywhere in the game and will very much help you a lot Amagi can be used up to w12, she’s terrible in w12/13 because of her very shitty AA, she will eat a lot of shit there Hood has better survivability than Amagi with her 8k hp and nice AA stat for a backliner As for the suggested gear, I really don’t know what to say The main gun she should take twin 381 advanced, for more barrage procs, triple 406 mk6 is VERY bad for her because that gun is only for pure shelling BBs and Hood has meh shelling, you want more barrage For the secondary gun, the twin 120 would be better, it fires normal shells which travel faster than HE shells, and it has slightly better dps than twin 127 As for the AA gun, like every other battleship she should take the bofors staag, Hood has low luck, which means she needs more accuracy so her shells would hit
why even bother with twin 120 ? u r better off using twin 128 since AP has way higher shell MV and u need to hit the focken jihad b4 they hit u, DPS doesnt matter much on BB/BC since their FP stat is high enough to offset that anyway also y using hood in W12, USN CV assrape everything over there so hard its not even funny,and even then monarch AP barrage is better there since all bosses in w12 r medium armor. And also Hood only has 1 skill, amagi has 3 skills and all 3 r borderline broken af, and all 3 skills help her alot in farming since 9% dmg mod and 10% eva rate for everyone is super bonker while hood only has her barrage and the 8% rld buff which in practice mean jackshit unless u r in PVP and even then, u r better off using monarch anyway plus hood barrage, while ignore shield ( shell travelling in an arc as opposed to mamagi barrgae), dont hav the reach like mamagi barrage whose barrage can even reach the far end of the battlefield lol oh god yostar u better giv hood a retro or another skill to make her HMS amagi
MK 108 Enterprise also only has 1 skill, yet you don’t see people calling her bad huh? Amagi’s skills are very much not broken especially late game, they get useless except the barrage The twin 128 is a bad idea for Hood, she has meh fp and therefore she’ll struggle with jihads if using twin 128 because it has meh dps , ONLY SSR USS battleships use the twin 128 because they have very high fp that will compensate the gun’s dps PS: this has nothing to do with Monarch, thats like saying theres no point in using any Battleship because FDG exists and thats fucking stupid, the comparison was between Hood and Amagi
When I got Azur Lane, Hood was literally the third ship I built. After that, I neglected all my other ships and only improved the Hood. I personally use the quadruple 380mm main guns for maximum trolling.
Hood has good skill when arranged with the royal navies or the classic "Hood-Akaga" combo. She is a good starter for beginners and i sometimes still use her for the royal navy formation.
twin 381 with two autoloaders for true memes or the german 28cm tripple gun with two autoloaders if you actually want to turn your ship into a floating machinegun, though your DPS will suffer
BB/BCs with strong/useful barrages should never use the mk6 (or similar), instead use the twin 406 or the rainbow 457 if you have it (against heavy focused maps). If you're just starting out the purple twin 410 is a great gun for ships that want some shelling damage and quick barrage proc. Take the mk6 if you don't have a firing based skill or the barrage is on a timer.
It's dangerous for a guide like this to spread around Azur Lane community. Your gear setup is very questionable. I won't bother if it is just for meme, but as you seem to make a serious guide, even half-assed, I must say something. I have no problem with your main gun and your secondary gun, it's your choice (even though Hood should use her personal gun for bonus +45 Firepower for her barrage and for the timer between shots). But for fuck sake, stop recommending roomba gun on ship with less than 135% AA efficiency (read: the damage output multiplier, mean that the AA damage you deal will be 1.35x more). Instead, telling the players to use STAAG gun, or Hazemeyer gun, or at the worst case, quad bofors gun. Using Roomba gun on Hood is a fucking joke. Also, you said Amagi is better than Hood, but that's partially true. Amagi is better than Hood in chapter 11 and below, but in higher content like chapter 12 or 13, Hood is absolutely better choice due to better AA (and thus, suffering less damage from airplane, please refer to AL wiki for more detail). So yeah, if you want to make a fun guide, at least make it have some accurate value. Your previous guides were kinda okay, but not this one.
I've always taken the perspective that you'd want 113's (Roomba) on Vanguard only. Highest damage/slowest reload of all gold-scale AA I think. Unless there are some exceptions for better performance from DD's, CL's, or CA's that use specific AA guns. I would much rather annihilate planes entirely before they even reach my Main Line, feels like one of the major reasons to even have a Vanguard. I would think inputting the STAAG would be the best for BB's even if only for the +10 hit. I'm desperately trying to build a 4th one. As for the main gun, I'm not sure why the Twin 381mm isn't mentioned for the high Salvo activation as it has been mentioned elsewhere for Hood, Arizona, and the Big 7 Sisters. Flat out damage is great, but if have somewhat lower damage that fires more frequently, you may end up doing even more in the end and possibly hitting more things spawning in than firing massive amounts of damage, landing on nothing, then having to wait for another volley. Just my observations, still relatively new to the game.
same for me i only use roomba gun on high reload vanguard due to its range and damage output but in BBs and BCs i suggest something with a lower range and high reload (STAAG per example)
@@ikazuchi-san5772 you don't use Roomba on a ship with less than 135% AA efficiency, because that would be a waste. Those ships, high reload or high AA, should opt for quad bofors.
it bugs me of him using MK6 as main gun, as hood has one of the highest barrage dependence in all the BBs, with 37.6% against multiple enemies or 29.1% against bosses, she should really be using a fast shooting gun
Use twin 381mm cuz barrage and cd buff is the only use of hood For new players who watch this guide u can trust this build, but if u have 381mm u can just throw 410mm aside
Maybe it's because you don't use Hood so you don't know but it is also for any player who is new. Get HOOD! Hood is amazing and has an extreme high damage. The problem that videos like these have is thag they don't realise that Hood's Fire Power despite being low doesn't hinder her in causing mass destruction. How do I know? My Hood is of level 120 and 200 affinity which means she is as good as she can get. I kid u not when i say this but I have fired only 2 shots in an entire boss battle and the end result usually has hood dealing 120k damage. The damage varies but it always, I mean ALWAYS is above 30k per skill shot used if her barrage also procced. 30k is a lot you know and that is the lowest i have seen. She has many times hit bosses with 1 skill shot dealing 60k damage. Why am I telling this? Because Hood is only few of those amazing Backliners you can get even at the beginning of the game while others you may or may not. Using her when farming for Monarch made everything easier. Do you know what people say about Monarch? Monarch who? One of the strongest backliners to exist in game who is specially made for late game? A better version of Hood. That statement is enough to make people believe that Monarch is awesome at max level because Hood is an extremely strong backliner. I can't say anything about amagi because mine is still at level 94. And i have never used her well that would be because the re run for amagi happened few weeks ago, so for anyone who thinks u got a bad deal when u get Hood . NO! You are literally getting a goddess who is also extremely viable in late game.
I am pissed but I have no right to be. I got 5 Amagis, FIVE, TWO BB Kagas and multiple copies of all the other event ships on the gacha but no Tosa. I want her to have that complete event backline! I was gonna pair them with Belfast, Atago and Chapayev, but she just refuses to appear. I spent almost 250 cubes and now I am scrambling for 1 or 2 at a time in comissions and a few main story missions. I don’t know how I got 2 BB Kagas at 0,5% chance but no Tosa. The frustration is real, the completionism is eating me from the inside.
hood's barrage is better than amagi's. other than that amagi is better than hood. Also you should go with twin 381mm gold gun for hood. it's known as the "hood gun" for a reason. hood's main gun dmg is bad anyway so you want to spam that barrage as much as possible
In my version of Hood, I equip her main gun twin 381mm advanced, the secondaries and AA I don't have yet, *but* I equipped High performance hydraulic steering gear and Pearl's tears.
You put pearls tears on a bc that usually sits in the middle if you don't want to be accused of a war crime? And with the highest HP Pool of all Ships other then FDG? SPICY.
I go with twilight Ravens. I basically use his loadout since ages. Works pretty well. Altough One would say having an Auto loader on a battlecruiser might be a questionable decision, triggering her barrage First and reload buff skill helps a lot and generates more damage or utility than pure damage alone. Plus not everyone can afford type 1 and heavy shells on every Ship necessary, atleast starters, same goes for maingun choice. Not everyone Has twin 381advance available.
The Bismarck and Tirpitz, Bismarck wasn’t as suited for anti aircraft, so when the swordfishes came *rudder go boom without plane destroied* Tirpitz on the other hand was modernized to shoot down planes better the Bismarck since she was attacked by big scary RAF also a sister ship is never identical
Wonder if I'll get Naganami or not. Is this the punishment I get for putting mothballs around my house to keep the skunks and cats away? Anyway, want more skins for Hood or a retrofit.
Probably a decision Made by availability. The 410mm is usually a good choice Due to high damage and it is easy to get. The twin 381mm should be the way to go however. On most if not all barrage dependent bbs and bcs.
yeah your equip is trash, you must use gold 381mm HE for true barrages, deutch 128mm secondary - it best DD secondary gun for main fleet, and some 40mm bofors AA cuz 113mm must use only on vanguard ships
wait Wait WAAAAAAAIIIIIIT.... Are you telling me Hood Skill affects EVERY MAIN FLEET SHIP and not only royal navy ships?!?!?!?!? Ffs i never will ask for help in fucking discord When i got Hood i ask for help and some random told me her barrage only worked on royal navy ship... That hapoen like a year ago 😤😤😤
Bruh why does he keep throwing amagi into the conversation like jeez bro just because she has better stats she isn't for everyone i don't even care about amagi I still use hood
Opinion. 100% biased: you can. Just bear in mind that position on the backline often affects where the barrage can hit. Amagi's is more or less a straight line. Whatever is in front gets hit. Hood's barrage spams bullets everywhere. But is bit of over kill to throw them into the same fleet. By all means, please do though. Amagi's buff and debuff effect paired with the reload boosts from Hood should make your whole backline insane when they proc (should check the abilities, as I am assuming they will stack).

I would much rather annihilate planes entirely before they even reach my Main Line, feels like one of the major reasons to even have a Vanguard. I would think inputting the STAAG would be the best for BB's even if only for the +10 hit. I'm desperately trying to build a 4th one.
As for the main gun, I'm not sure why the Twin 381mm isn't mentioned for the high Salvo activation as it has been mentioned elsewhere for Hood, Arizona, and the Big 7 Sisters. Flat out damage is great, but if have somewhat lower damage that fires more frequently, you may end up doing even more in the end and possibly hitting more things spawning in than firing massive amounts of damage, landing on nothing, then having to wait for another volley. Just my observations, still relatively new to the game.
same for me i only use roomba gun on high reload vanguard due to its range and damage output but in BBs and BCs i suggest something with a lower range and high reload (STAAG per example)
@@ikazuchi-san5772 you don't use Roomba on a ship with less than 135% AA efficiency, because that would be a waste. Those ships, high reload or high AA, should opt for quad bofors.
it bugs me of him using MK6 as main gun, as hood has one of the highest barrage dependence in all the BBs, with 37.6% against multiple enemies or 29.1% against bosses, she should really be using a fast shooting gun
@@00eshi indeed I generally use the royal navy twin381kai t0 main gun, It suits hood better, and is even historically accurate
Says nobody loves you to Formidable
*Looks at my Sirius/Formidable pillowcase*
Use twin 381mm cuz barrage and cd buff is the only use of hood
For new players who watch this guide u can trust this build, but if u have 381mm u can just throw 410mm aside
She is my first SR ship.
Still keep her in my fleet.
Reason: She a good milf in the port.
Thank u for showing Ukball in the vid.
Polandball brings back good memories.
Hood's deck armor was for contact fuse shells of WW1 and she due to having a refit on her deck armor but that hold off which cause her demise
Exeter retrofit guide anytime soon? She's royal navy, retrofitted, and a heavy cruiser.
Ah yes you did a FREAKIN Hood guide. Wonderful 8)
Lol I use amagi and hood in my fleet
1:30 "Here comes the airplane"
Wait, she's not a carrier
Maybe it's because you don't use Hood so you don't know but it is also for any player who is new.
Get HOOD! Hood is amazing and has an extreme high damage. The problem that videos like these have is thag they don't realise that Hood's Fire Power despite being low doesn't hinder her in causing mass destruction. How do I know? My Hood is of level 120 and 200 affinity which means she is as good as she can get.
I kid u not when i say this but I have fired only 2 shots in an entire boss battle and the end result usually has hood dealing 120k damage. The damage varies but it always, I mean ALWAYS is above 30k per skill shot used if her barrage also procced. 30k is a lot you know and that is the lowest i have seen. She has many times hit bosses with 1 skill shot dealing 60k damage.
Why am I telling this? Because Hood is only few of those amazing Backliners you can get even at the beginning of the game while others you may or may not. Using her when farming for Monarch made everything easier. Do you know what people say about Monarch? Monarch who? One of the strongest backliners to exist in game who is specially made for late game? A better version of Hood. That statement is enough to make people believe that Monarch is awesome at max level because Hood is an extremely strong backliner.
I can't say anything about amagi because mine is still at level 94. And i have never used her well that would be because the re run for amagi happened few weeks ago, so for anyone who thinks u got a bad deal when u get Hood . NO! You are literally getting a goddess who is also extremely viable in late game.
you litterally forgot the most important Main gun to put on Hood...THE HOOD GUN...xD
Nice video btw :3
The HOOD is the bet place to live
I am pissed but I have no right to be. I got 5 Amagis, FIVE, TWO BB Kagas and multiple copies of all the other event ships on the gacha but no Tosa. I want her to have that complete event backline! I was gonna pair them with Belfast, Atago and Chapayev, but she just refuses to appear. I spent almost 250 cubes and now I am scrambling for 1 or 2 at a time in comissions and a few main story missions. I don’t know how I got 2 BB Kagas at 0,5% chance but no Tosa. The frustration is real, the completionism is eating me from the inside.
I use HMS ships so I’ll continue to use hood even though I have amagi
"How to Eldridge" btw I'm a TW server player
hood's barrage is better than amagi's. other than that amagi is better than hood. Also you should go with twin 381mm gold gun for hood. it's known as the "hood gun" for a reason. hood's main gun dmg is bad anyway so you want to spam that barrage as much as possible
In my version of Hood, I equip her main gun twin 381mm advanced, the secondaries and AA I don't have yet, *but* I equipped High performance hydraulic steering gear and Pearl's tears.
You put pearls tears on a bc that usually sits in the middle if you don't want to be accused of a war crime? And with the highest HP Pool of all Ships other then FDG? SPICY.
@@TheRealJohnux what's the point of putting pearl on a flagship? WHAT.
Hmm y'know I can't tell which is better? niklasso's guide or Twilight Raven's guide
I go with twilight Ravens. I basically use his loadout since ages. Works pretty well. Altough One would say having an Auto loader on a battlecruiser might be a questionable decision, triggering her barrage First and reload buff skill helps a lot and generates more damage or utility than pure damage alone. Plus not everyone can afford type 1 and heavy shells on every Ship necessary, atleast starters, same goes for maingun choice. Not everyone Has twin 381advance available.
@@TheRealJohnux well if you want to go on a full on Rambo style just like what i did
Good things about hood
1: yes
Cons:
-if she touches Bismarck she instantly dies-
I just Oathed my Hood
Her name is Hoodothy now
Do a Akagi guide and sir HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT NO ONE LOVES ENTY!!!!
Honestly, i come here for a meme.
I shouldn't have leveled up queen loli I should have been with hood since the start
Niklasso : nobody love you enty
Me : wait what enty me shipfus
I'll have Warspite, Amagi and Hood, pair them in one fleet together and I'm unstoppable. *HAHAHAHAHAHA!*
Do you need to retrofit the Warspite or not ? ( You know slowly retrofit her )
@@luxeternity yes I do
*quarantine is putting a number on us, eh?*
5:06 Tirpitz was actually a little bigger than Bismarck, that's the only reason i can think of
Half a Meter longer. But due to the Torpedo launchers 2000 tons heavier on full deployment.
This video is basically roasted auntie Hood with IJN Amagi xD
"Yuro joke -Checked-
*insert meme, i know that reference!*
You too watch the great Yuro-weeb-senpai
hood dmg is base on her barrage, so it is better to use the twin 381mm combines with the autoloader. It has more efficiency for hood
They made sure that her spacious part will be the best tea making facility ever put into the sea.
How to Hood?
Easy, just equip Juliet Charlie.
Opps, wrong games.
No joke, you do need this.
The Bismarck and Tirpitz, Bismarck wasn’t as suited for anti aircraft, so when the swordfishes came
*rudder go boom without plane destroied*
Tirpitz on the other hand was modernized to shoot down planes better the Bismarck since she was attacked by big scary RAF
also a sister ship is never identical
Off topic but is having Hood, Centaur and Enterprise in the backline a good combo?
I see that Nik was about to use potato equipment
Can you do How to Mikasa, Hiei, or Prince of Wales? I like to see their load out.
Basically Hood is Amagi÷2
tirpitz should have more hp than bismarck, tirpitz was improved during her construction, bismarck wasnt, she was near to launch at this point
You talking shit about the cinnamon roll... *LOADS SHOTGUN WITH MALISH MALICIOUS INTENT*
I love the interactions between Hood and Bismarck in AL:Crosswave. ;)
Ah yes, Bismarck get haunted lol
Best Auntie
I agree
Can i know where do you get those stat ranking? I can't seem to find it
As some one who just tires to get his Hood to level 100, this video hurts...
Do Pamiat or Tashkent
You know Hood has it out for you when you build her 3 times. Still wants Prince of Wales. 😂😂😂
Tirpitz has 5k tones more than Bismarck , there is your answer.
Wonder if I'll get Naganami or not. Is this the punishment I get for putting mothballs around my house to keep the skunks and cats away? Anyway, want more skins for Hood or a retrofit.
Hey, I was wondering how the Twin 410mm and the PR2 main gun differs...
Which pr2 gun you mean
If you mean the gold twin 410 with type 3 ammo, it is utterly trash.
@@00eshi trash and people in chat recommend level up... those bastards
@@alexisv625 I remember buying it right after 381mm one got removed from the shop. I was kinda sad when saw how "much" damage it does
@@alexisv625 no really the 410 type 3 is an OP gun. coming from a sandy cultist and it says alot
I am confused; I thought Hood liked having a twin 381? Is the purple 410 really the better option?
No, 381 is better, as hood has a low FP, she mainly depends on her barrage, so you want more speed
It depends whether you want to balance stable damage or spam barrage.
Probably a decision Made by availability. The 410mm is usually a good choice Due to high damage and it is easy to get. The twin 381mm should be the way to go however. On most if not all barrage dependent bbs and bcs.
Never use triple shell main guns on hood.
They basically put hood into a Japanese beam and got Amagi
Hood the another explosive Battlecruiser that gets nuked by Battleships shells
Real life Tirpitz was bigger than Bismarck, so it got more hp
And tirpitz was 52000 tons to
yeah your equip is trash, you must use gold 381mm HE for true barrages, deutch 128mm secondary - it best DD secondary gun for main fleet, and some 40mm bofors AA cuz 113mm must use only on vanguard ships
the floor of the might hood ?
.

FLOOR GANG
4:33 Monarch research?
the twin have fast reload means more spam of skill
The HMS hood and the HMS prince of wales vs KMS Bismarck and KMS admiral hipler
Winner Germany
wait Wait WAAAAAAAIIIIIIT....
Are you telling me Hood Skill affects EVERY MAIN FLEET SHIP and not only royal navy ships?!?!?!?!?
Ffs i never will ask for help in fucking discord
When i got Hood i ask for help and some random told me her barrage only worked on royal navy ship... That hapoen like a year ago 😤😤😤
I use both Hood and Amagi for more barrage!!!!!
How to Hood. Don’t
Bruh why does he keep throwing amagi into the conversation like jeez bro just because she has better stats she isn't for everyone i don't even care about amagi I still use hood
All and all she was avenged by an old biplane.
It was only 5 years old the swordfish
tirpiyts had more armour and was heavier
TIrpitz has higher hit points than Bismarck because it had higher displacement in history by a tad bit.
I have both hood and amagi which one should I use
Too bad she didn't carry biplanes with her...
B-but I use Hood and Amagi
*heh*
Hi commander miss me?
Does this mean hood and amagi don't go in a fleet together?
ups
I started playing 2 months ago :)
Opinion. 100% biased: you can. Just bear in mind that position on the backline often affects where the barrage can hit. Amagi's is more or less a straight line. Whatever is in front gets hit. Hood's barrage spams bullets everywhere. But is bit of over kill to throw them into the same fleet. By all means, please do though. Amagi's buff and debuff effect paired with the reload boosts from Hood should make your whole backline insane when they proc (should check the abilities, as I am assuming they will stack).
bahamut0310 thanks a lot! am glad to know that my two favorite shipfus can go together and not be looking like a noob
Droid Motorola 388 I tried this before.. Amagi’s reload went so fast xD
I mean, she is the perfect waifu material. Really.
She good at delete even pvp
I'm out of the loop when it comes to this game's meta. Can I ask what's wrong with the golden weapons?
[NOT FOR SHOW]
I don't have Amagi and my only battleships are Tirpitz and Repulse. Should I get Hood from medal shop ? New player.
