Austin

• Very fragile CL that obliterates poorly armored ships with unlimited MBRB and SAP shells. While she excels at bursting down unprepared enemies, she is extremely vulnerable to return fire herself.
• This build is tailored around the usage of Austin’s reload booster and massive firepower.
  • You can try the 4pt AA skill to further potentially reduce MBRB cooldown, but at the cost survivability as you need to trade SI and PT
  • If you don’t have the Hydro mod, use ERP.
• Austin exists in 2 states: Tier 8 cruiser when MBRB is down, and Tier 12 American War Machine when MBRB is active. Kinda like the Hulk, but without the tanking part. You play like a typical US CL, hiding behind islands or in smoke while farming damage. When the enemy makes a mistake, like showing broadside, you activate MBRB and quickly disassemble them with SAP. HE is acceptable if you are lighting fires on angled healthy BBs. Play very carefully as Austin is easily citadeled by any AP shell thrown in her general direction.
