ARP Ashigara
Tier VII · Cruiser · Japan · Premium
Rating C+ (Lower-mid within its tier and class · overall score 32) · Torpedo cruiser
Torpedo cruiser, suited to DD hunting. It is especially strong against cruisers and battleships (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 3 min on paper · torpedoes supply 32% of it). Top speed of 34.6 kn is high, but sluggish acceleration make sudden dodges hard. A full torpedo spread can deal up to 48,984 (all launchers combined). Torpedo DPM is 135% higher than average. Unique skill: 'Vibration Torpedo' gives torpedo speed +20% for 30 s (at the cost of turning −5%).

A heavy cruiser of "The Fleet of Fog." Modeled after the Imperial Japanese Navy's 3rd Myōkō-class cruiser, Ashigara. She is equipped with a specialized harpoon-cannon, replacing the Super-Graviton Cannon unit. Her Mental Model "Ashigara" has a warlike personality and does not think matters over carefully. Ashigara acts as one of the "Secretaries" in the "Student Council of the Fog," along with Haguro. This warship has been specially designed for World of Warships and is modeled after Ashigara as she appears in "ARPEGGIO OF BLUE STEEL -ARS NOVA- Cadenza."
