Is Cygnet good?

Cygnet leans hard on evasion. Her skill can raise the whole fleet's evasion for a stretch, and a self-invincibility skill helps her survive despite being a frontline vanguard ship. None of that shows up until she's modernized though: before then her stats are low and she doesn't even have the evasion buff yet, so she's mostly worth using in a Royal Navy fleet where Queen Elizabeth can prop up her weak base stats.

Pairs well with: Queen Elizabeth.

Strengths

  • Modernized kit adds strong fleet-wide evasion and self-invincibility

Weaknesses

  • Weak and missing her key skill until modernized

Profile

Cygnet is voiced by Risa Taneda in Japanese.
