RN CLs (Minotaur Line)

Smoke build

• AP only close range DPM machine. Short fuse AP and fast rate of fire makes quick work of any close range broadside ship while smoke keeps her hidden. One of the easiest ships to dev strike and her floaty shells force her to play at close - mid range
• This build is made for playing RN CLs using the smoke consumables. You will usually find yourself playing a bit further away from the enemy and off to the flanks in order to deal the most damage possible.
  • Unique upgrade changes Mino’s smoke, combining crawling smoke’s emit duration with a normal smoke’s staying duration. Also reduces consumable duration. All at the cost of slightly worse concealment. Worth considering if you like playing smoke Mino, but not strictly better
• Dunkirk is a decent captain for RN CLs due to his improved consumable skills.
• If you don’t have hydro mod, use ERP instead
• Applies to Weymouth, Caledon, Danae, Emerald, Leander, Orion ‘44, Mysore, Fiji, Edinburgh, Tiger ‘59, Neptune, Minotaur and Edgar.

RN CLs

Radar build

• Radar Minotaur (aka Manotaur) is a high risk high reward playstyle that uses stealth radar to crush enemy DDs and deny spotting while dodging potential devstrikes from every BB in the game. Not for the faint of heart!
• Can use the same build as Smoke Mino, but swaps hydro for radar and has a few unique alternatives
  • Radio Location provides strong anti-DD capabilities, allowing you to setup up for an ambush and removing any guesswork to where to point your guns and hull.
  • You can take Slot 5 Steering Gears mod if you want better survivability in exchange for loss of stealth radar
  • If you’re not using radar on the high tier ships or don’t have the radar mod, use ERP or hydro
• Dunkirk is a decent captain for RN CLs due to his improved consumable skills.
• If you’re making a dedicated build for AP-equipped tech tree and premium RN CLs with slow turret traverse, you can swap CS for GtG.
• Applies to Edinburgh, Tiger ‘59, Neptune, Minotaur and Edgar.
