IJN gunboat DDs

Standard build

• This is a general purpose build that allows IJN gunboats to both support friendly DDs in cap contests, as well as allowing them to deal substantial amounts of damage to larger enemy ships
• You may swap Consumable Specialist for IFA or GtG.
• If you want even more firepower at the expense of risking your engine and rudder, swap LS for DE.
• If you don’t have the Engine boost mod, use ERP.
• A Suzuki captain is a decent option for all IJN DDs due to his improved SE skill.
• Applies to Harekaze, Akizuki, Kitakaze and Harugumo.

Harugumo

LM build

• This build is centred around Harugumo’s unique/legendary upgrade (a.k.a legmod). It lets you gain more smoke uptime for more effective damage output, but you lose some concealment and thus lose out on DD fighting potential. Make sure you combine the legmod with the smoke generator upgrade and the smoke flag. ALso note that this build works best when coordinating with clan or division mates, and may not yield you the best resultsi n randoms.
• A Suzuki captain is a decent option for all IJN DDs due to his improved SE skill.
• If you don’t have the Engine boost mod, use ERP. If you don’t have the Smoke mod, use ASM1.
