Description*Did you level up Yamaguchi for the Shokaku carrier? Mad about the nerfs to Shokaku and have no use for Yamaguchi now? Fear not captain, with some minor modifications and a re-class Yamaguchi makes one of the best destroyer captains for Akizuki! You will be clearing the sky's from annoying carriers and making enemy destroyers wished their radar cruisers had pushed with them! *Build Description: While listed as a meme build, it is highly effective against all classes of ships and is now my standard build for the Akizuki. The build gives you over 95 AA rating, an extra torpedo reload booster and smoke, along with acceptable main battery reload rate, concealment and rudder shift. #Carrier got you spotted? With the mods AA Guns mod 2 & 3, stacked with the inspirations Typhoon and Ernest King, topping it off with the perk No-Fly Zone you will be clearing the sky of pesky carriers and fighter planes at distance in no time! With the bonuses if AA damage +45%, AA Range +33% and AA range of over 6.7km will make short work of any plane. #Enemy Destroyer spotted? You can make short work of enemy destroyers with the stock reload speed of 3 seconds with your eight barrels of guns. A quick turret transverse of 11.3 seconds with a maximum fire range of 11.4km will allow you to quickly adjust and respond. Having Bey as an inspiration with the perk Look at me Now brings your concealment to around 5.3km, allowing you to get close enough to engage, and concealed enough to get out of bad situations. #Cruiser trying to touch you? If a cruiser comes rushing at you broadside trying to show his dominance on a cap, don't be afraid to open up with AP under 7km, your little guns will penetrate and/or citadel them. Eight guns with a citadel damage of 1700 can dish out 13,600 damage salvos every 3 seconds. They won't know what happened! Dont try this with angled cruisers or cruisers at distance, use HE if you have to fight. With the perk On Alert it will tell you "Incoming" on the screen, tactically retreat and use your 3 second rudder shift to evade when a salvo is incoming! #Battleship sailing in a straight line? Don't worry about only having one torpedo launcher with four torps. With the perk Fully Packed you get an extra consumable of Smoke, Speed Boost and Torpedo Reload Booster bringing the total to 3 of each. With the perk One-Way Ticket we bring our torpedo damage over 21,500 damage, and paired with using one of your three reload boosters, that's eight torpedoes! You will be able to do this three times! #Smoke em if you got them! Having three smokes that last over a minute and a half gives you plenty of options. The fast 3 second reload with eight rounds with a base fire chance of Atlanta will allow you to burn battleships down when enemy destroyers are defeated and you have a spotter. Don't be afraid to bring a little hurt while hiding!
