Roussillon is a ship with mighty armament on a fragile hull. Her high accuracy for a French battleship, together with good shell ballistics, makes her a perfect choice for long-range engagements. Further improved with her Engine Boost, she can redeploy rapidly wherever her support is required.
However, she suffers from a significantly longer-than-average base reload time, meaning you will have to make every salvo count. She does have access to a Main Battery Reload Booster, which can increase your fire rate at critical moments, but the consumable has long cooldown. Keep your distance and pick your targets carefully, as your weak armor will mean you won't last long in a sustained fight.
Dockyard Phases
The Dockyard is broken up into 20 phases, of which a total of 18 can be completed through combat missions. The remaining two phases will have to be purchased with Doubloons—either individually or as part of starter packs.
Each phase can be purchased for 3,000 Doubloons; there are also starter packs of 2 and 6 phases available for 5,000 and 12,500 Doubloons, respectively. These are only available until you complete 4 phases with combat missions, so make sure to pick them up early if you want to use them!
Tier VI cruiser Montcalm will be your intermediate reward at phase 10. Montcalm is armed with nine 152mm guns with good ballistics, long range, and high damage per minute for her tier. Her torpedo armament is rather light, with only two tubes per side, which can be effective in special situations. Montcalm can supplement her main battery with the Main Battery Reload Booster, giving her already lethal main battery an extra punch.
If you already own Montcalm, you’ll instead receive 45,000 Coal, which is enough to purchase another Tier VI Premium ship in the Armory.
Combat missions will be available through Update 14.11 and the first two weeks of Update 15.0. During the last two, you'll still be able to complete phases with Doubloons, but be quick—the Dockyard will be removed with the beginning of Update 15.1!
