Is Nelson good?
A battleship with a wide, heavy special barrage that clears mob fights quickly. She's only Elite rarity, so she's cheap to run for a barrage ship, and she's a good swap when 
Hood or another 
Super Rare would be overkill. The barrage is tied to her main gun salvos, so fast-firing main guns get the most out of it.
Strengths
- Wide, high-damage barrage
- Low oil cost for a barrage battleship
Stats
- HP7,836

At max level. Each bar is measured against the highest value in the Azur Lane roster.
