Kidd - King of the Gunboats

Created by
EwokPilot
CategoryDPM
DescriptionWith this build, Kidd is without a doubt the best gunboat DD at the tier - great survivability with a decent HP pool and (of course) heals, nice range, brilliant DPM, good AA defenses, effectively indestructible turrets and torpedo tubes, and great American smoke. What's not to love about this ship?
