Similar to other French DDs. Except you get a smoke to get out of jail so to speak. Her guns are excellent so rain down on anything.

I literally take my French DD Kleber captain and just run him on this. It’s a no concealment all gun build.

It's a fun ship when cruisers think they can shoot you down in close range, expose their broadside and suddenly meet your AP.

Does that mean to build her for guns?

Go for the standard skills with the first 10 points, and then find out by yourself how to invest them.

My advice might not be the best one, since it's different than the overall consensus, for example I don't use AR on my DDs but rather invest 2 points on Priority Target.

She has a big concealment range, but hard hitting tops and guns!

So a hybrid build?

Sorry my reply prob wasn’t the most helpful. Yes i would recommend a hybrid build. Play conservative early on and try to ambush enemy dds

Great for some operations

She’s a standard French destroyer with the exception of getting smoke instead of reload booster. Alongside that she gets very good torpedos, they hit pretty hard for the tier. I’d go for a hybrid skill, get adrenaline rush for maximizing both your torpedos and guns, outside of that and the standard skill anything works really.

She's fast, tanky and hit heavy but slow reload, great torps dmg but short range. She's a tricky beast.

One of the better drops.
I'd be satisfied

Turret traverse is bad though, keep that in mind when you engage - use your rudder to aim quicker

Unless you have a 14 or greater pt captain, it’s a DD, first... PM, LS, SE, CE..., you “can” go AR, as SE at T6 can be arguable.

If grind to a 13-14 pt. captain, then you can go with both AR and SE. There’s argument the all gun argument and go pure gunboat to forget about concealment and just dakka, dakka by adding what is it TGG?

TGG

?

​

And I have an 18 pointer. I plan on using the commader from JB for her. (That captain is not assigned to a silver ship...)

Sorry that’s a CA skill. I meant either Fearless Brawler or Main Battery (there’s a three pointer “specialist” for reload and a four pointer “expert “ for range). Your mileage may vary. I.e., the new skills replacing BFT/AFT

Here's what you do with it and all french dds: you right click it in port. Click on sell ship and then click on yes

French dds are some of the best gunboats so don’t sell them

Good cause Aigle is pretty good if you know how to play it
