Paolo Emilio

• Paolo Emilio is a very unique DD that “kamikazes” it’s unfortunate target by getting as close as possible to launch her torpedoes. It’s funny when it works, but situationally aware players can and will play around your 1 trick pony playstyle.
• Yolo Emilio’s build is uniquely tailored to pull off her torp rush gimmick
  • AR is here if you need to fight DDs, but you can argue for 2pt consumable enhancements instead for that extra boost when rushing
  • RPF is used to work around enemy DDs, and to track your target if you lose sight during the rush
  • Do not substitute any of the special upgrades, they are necessary to pull off the HP heist of the match
• One-Way Emilio has just 1 job: smoke rush any oblivious target and dev striking them at point blank range. Distracted and isolated ships are your prey. You can still yolo grouped ships, but be aware that yoloing prepared enemies can quickly turn into a suicide run. Use concealment and islands to mask your approach before turning on smoke+speed boost for the final sprint.
  • Enemy DDs and radar will ruin your fun. Avoid when possible
    • That being said, you can smoke run and gun other DDs with the right support
  • Be careful when taking early bumps. The rush will fail if you lack HP to tank a BB salvo
  • Rule of thumb: you only need 1 rack for standard cruisers and damaged large cruisers and BBs. Use 2 if you are rushing a healthy BB or large cruiser. All 3 will be needed if you rush a healthy super BB or Yiming
