Prince of Wales

Section 12 of 31

Prince of Wales

  • Prince of Wales is a Tier 8 RN BB who doubles down on the RN BB HE speciality, sporting improved accuracy and HE spam at the cost of durability.
  • Prince of Wales alongside Repulse was sunk by Japanese air attack on Dec 10,1941, days after Japan declared war on the US
  • This build is slightly modified from the Conqueror Build to account for her unique spotter plane and heavy repair teams
    • As heavy repair teams have 120s cooldown, the 2pt AA skill and ERS is taken to reduce the cd as much as possible. IRPR is also fine, though you will have to trade ERE
    • 5 Repairs is overkill as the long active duration and high cooldown makes 4 uses already unlikely.
  • Prince of Wales plays like a typical RN BB, spamming HE in the back while healing through everything. Battlecruiser accuracy and high HE DPM lets her burn down entire enemy teams, but be careful of her 25mm bow/stern and slow acting repair party. You will die much faster than other BBs if not careful.
    • Spam your enhanced spotter plane whenever you need the extra range
    • Heavy repair teams heals at a normal rate, but over a longer duration. Start your repairs early if you expect to take damage
