  1. Nagato Meta: Gives Full Moon to a random Vanguard Ships
    Urban Dictionary: To moon someone means to show them your bare buttocks while bending over. It's called mooning them, because bare buttocks displayed in that way look like the full moon (especially on very fair-skinned persons

  2. Ibuki augment is a step in the right direction for players who bother to actually play torpedo manual.
    Put her in front so that she fires first, and you have 1.5 sec of safety while unloading in front of the boss. It's not enough to really make the playstyle safe, but it's something.

  3. IMO her synergy with IJN is better considering how META doesn't have ships as strong as IJN's. I doubt many players would prefer METAs considering the above. The "barrage enhanced if no IJN ships" is kinda dumb though, it grinds my gears to see parts of a ship's kit being antisynergistic with each other. She'll still good despite this but it's still annoying.

    Dunkerque's aug is better than expected considering her rarity, at least she's now more usable than the average elite BB/BC. Tashkent's meets expectations in a good way, Exeter's in a bad way. I hate Shiranui so no comment on her lol, that scammer and the other cat scammer will never sail in my fleet. Ibuki's aug is nice, hopefully the other PR1s will get good augs just like her and Izumo, and hopefully this isn't just Manjuu trying to please JP players ahead of anniversary.

  4. I don’t get the argoment of meta ship buffs instead of ijn why? Simple nagato is litteraly one of the main leaders of the Sakura empire that litteraly is dedicated to her faction, it woudnt make sense for her to help metas especially if this nagato is a temporary corruption instead of someone from another timeline like other meta ships.

  5. Well her enhanced barrage damage is absolutely insane, the projectiles do 9.4 k per salvo in a similar pattern to Big Seven Sakura, to compare Owari's barrage was around 3 k vs light and 2.5 k vs medium (but has 100% proc chance). So against mob fleets Nagato Meta would shred everything basically. Against other Big Seven retrofits, for West Virgina (keep in mind 70% chance to proc), is about 7 k vs light, and 5.8 k against medium. Nelson's barrage is slightly higher at 6.2 k against medium and almost 8 k against light (similar to Nagato Meta's damage due to weird HE modifiers on her barrage where the best armour matchup is against medium), but still much inferior to Nagato Meta in medium. The alternating buffs are probably a nerf tbh to compensate for Nagato Meta's sheer damage.
