AL Richelieu Playstyle Guide
AL Richelieu is a fast French battleship for flank pressure and tempo pushes. Use her speed and forward firepower to create crossfires, punish cruisers, and force battleships to angle the wrong way rather than sitting still as a backline sniper.
Ideal role
AL Richelieu is a fast French battleship for flank pressure and tempo pushes. Use her speed and forward firepower to create crossfires, punish cruisers, and force battleships to angle the wrong way rather than sitting still as a backline sniper.
Best positioning
Work the outside lane or a forward island angle where you can bow in, reverse out, or accelerate away before the whole red team focuses you. She likes mid-range angles with an escape route and enough map space to exploit French speed.
Main mistake to avoid
Do not overextend just because the ship is fast. If you sprint into a flank before enemy destroyers and torpedo lanes are known, Richelieu becomes trapped bow-in and loses the ability to disengage.
Commanders and inspirations
AL Richelieu and AL Dunkerque are natural French battleship picks; Robert Jaujard is a standard armor-piercing option and Emile Guepratte supports mobility. Inspirations usually favor reload, survivability, or AP performance depending on whether you want pressure or consistency.
