DescriptionAlready a quick ship by default, this Dresden build fine-tunes her best traits and ifies her worst, easily making her the best Tier I cruiser in the game. With Karl von Müller at the helm sporting a base trait of +2.75% movement speed, Dresden's top speed is increased by about a knot and a half, already making her swifter than a majority of her compatriots at the same tier. She utilizes fire-chance skills, each one increasing the chance of fire from her HE shells exponentially. With a reload period of 4.0 seconds by default, she was already a firestarting beast, but with this build, her reload period is decreased to 3.2 seconds! While it is a small difference, it no doubt can make or break a game. Dresden's top speed utilizing this build is 27.8 knots and her reload time is 3.2 seconds, but probably the worst drawback is the relatively low HP pool of 11,900. If facing off against a vessel with higher caliber guns, she will quickly become overwhelmed, or, goodness forbid, if she finds herself faced off against a vessel with AP shells, it will be all but over for this stalwart flamethrower. Pros: High speed and maneuverability, many guns with high fire chance, low reload (maschinengewehr) Cons: Low caliber guns, must turn broadside to fire most effectively, mid-to-low HP pool. Overall ship rating: 8/10
