Is Cheshire good?

Cheshire fires a frequent special barrage that lands right on the enemy's position, so it hits reliably against mobs even when she's on auto. She also carries some of the best anti-air of any ship type, with an extra AA mount and a skill that raises it further when she takes a hit, and her high base HP plus a 15% damage-reduction skill make her tougher than her raw stats suggest.

She misses out on the opening torpedo salvo that limit break normally grants torpedo-type ships, so she's not built for that side of the kit.

Strengths

  • Special barrage tracks the enemy's location, reliable even on auto
  • Top-tier anti-air with an extra AA mount slot
  • High HP plus a damage-reduction skill for real durability

Weaknesses

  • Missing the opening torpedo salvo other torpedo ships get from limit break
