Is Portland good?
Portland's main-gun firepower already stands out among heavy cruisers, and pairing her with 
Indianapolis pushes it further still. She carries a defensive skill on top of that offense, giving her a reasonable balance of durability and damage.
The catch is that her extra main-gun turret stays locked until limit break, so her early firepower falls noticeably short of her full potential.
Pairs well with: Indianapolis.
Strengths
- Excellent main-gun firepower for a heavy cruiser
- Gets even stronger paired with Indianapolis
- Carries a defensive skill alongside her offense
Weaknesses
- Extra main-gun turret needs limit breaks to unlock
