Black Amagi
Tier VIII · Battleship · Japan
Rating A+ (Strong within its tier and class · overall score 75) · High-firepower battleship
High-firepower battleship. Its 410mm guns carry a 250% citadel multiplier, so a salvo that citadels can deal up to 48,975. With 4 Damage Control charges it shrugs off fire and flooding combos. High HE fire potential (2.2 fires/min before hit rate and resistance). Key skills: Rapid Reload I ×2 (main battery reload +18%, 20 s); Sonar I ×2 (3.75 km, 25 s). Detectability of 12.36 km is 1.22 km above average, so it gets spotted early; move behind islands.

A battlecruiser design with very powerful artillery. Despite being outclassed by other battleships of her time in terms of armor, Amagi was—to a great extent—superior to them in terms of speed.
