DescriptionThis build is about as standard as it gets for cruiser builds. The main battery range is more than sufficient, though you may be tempted to use Beyond Range or Refill Station to increase it. The firing angles and maneuverability are poor, so it's best to sit behind islands and burn the map down. Your fire chance is very high, so taking advantage of that is the primary purpose of this build.
