Z-52 UU Build

Z-52 UU Build

• Z-52's UU buffs her torpedo DPM at the cost of higher surface detection
  • While UU turns Z-52 into a torp boat, this build recommends MBM3 to help fight off other DDs
    • If you want to maximize your torp DPM and accept the tradeoff of losing most DD fights, take TTM3 in slot 6 instead
  • Engine boost mod is preferred to the Hydro mod because extending your hydro duration increases the desync between your smoke and hydro duration and cooldown, while Engine boost mod lets you dodge enemy fire and move quicker for a longer time. If you don’t have the Engine boost mod, use ERP.
  • Jütland is decent for this build because of his improved Consumable Specialist skill.
• UU changes Z-52’s playstyle to a torpedo DD. She can spam torps with her super fast reload speed while retaining smoke + hydro combo to defend vs. other DDs. Loss of concealment doesn't sound bad, but it notably makes it more difficult to fight other DDs, especially if hydro is on cooldown. 10.5km torps are relatively short range, and will sometimes force you to take risky positions.
  • Beware the increased surface detection makes caps more dangerous to contest
• Applies only to Z-52
