CAPTAIN BUILDS

Please read the notes below the builds to avoid confusion. If you are looking for a specific ship, ctrl+F it. If you can’t find it, look harder or contact one of the authors.

The numbers on the skills indicate the recommended pick order. We strongly recommend that you strictly stick to the pick order of at least the first 5 skills.

If you are levelling a cruiser captain from the bottom of the branch upwards and the build includes both AR and SI, you should pick AR as your 3rd skill instead of 5th as marked in the priority order. Exceptions being any cruiser branch that gets access to Repair at the lower tiers.

For a better viewing experience, uncheck the Print layout option in the View tab. Also enable the navigation bar for increased ease of use.

Skill names, if changed, are sometimes still referred to by their old(er) names because we are lazy and many players refer to skills by their old names/abbreviations.

These builds are intended for random battles. Competitive builds may differ greatly and will likely depend on what your FC wants you to have on your ships. The screenshots used for the builds are from the WoWs ShipBuilder app: https://github.com/WoWs-Builder-Team/WoWs-ShipBuilder#wows-shipbuilder
