Colbert

Standard build

• Colbert is the ultimate DPM machine with ludicrous DPM and high mobility, but floaty shells and a very squishy hull. Arguably the hardest ship to play in the game.
• This build is tailored to give Colbert maximum possible engagement control and good firepower.
  • Using Auboyneau is recommended due to his improved SE, as well as his potential damage talent.
  • Colbert’s 15km is sufficient for most engagements, your shell arcs makes it too easy to dodge past that range
  • If you don’t have the Engine boost mod, use ERP. You really should get the Engine boost mod, though.
• Colbert is the original close-mid range DPM monster, quickly burning down everything while her speed boost lets her dodge incoming fire. Her ludicrous DPM does come at cost though. Her shell arcs are floaty and very unforgiving while 1 mistake will send you back to port. She is the ultimate glass cannon and the ultimate mark of a good player once you master her.

Colbert

Damage build

• Aka Church of Colbert build. This maximises Colbert’s firepower as much as possible at the expense of any concealment. The ultimate test of the player’s skills
  • This is the exact build John_The_Ruthless uses for his Colbert
• IFA is taken for much needed extra peripheral vision to maximize the time you get to dodge incoming salvoes
• You can take Slot 6 range mod to get used to her playstyle before switching back to reload mod
• If you don’t have Engine boost mod, then get it. Either you go full Church of Colbert build or you don’t. No points for half-hearted imitations.
