Ideal role
Legate is best played as an Italian cruiser that supports destroyers, controls key water, and punishes exposed targets. Treat her as a secondary-focused heavy cruiser: use the 320 mm main battery to punish broadside targets, but build the fight around durable angles, secondary pressure, and controlled pushes rather than open-water farming.
Best positioning
Work from island edges or angled mid-range lanes where the midship main turrets can fire without exposing a full broadside for too long. Push only when destroyer vision and crossfires are controlled, then let the extended secondary range punish ships that try to kite or rush you.
Main mistake to avoid
Do not assume she plays exactly like a concealment cruiser or a standard Michelangelo clone. The official event notes call out worse concealment, improved secondary range, HE secondaries instead of SAP secondaries, and Enhanced Secondary Targeting II, so greedy broadside turns and unsupported pushes are the trap.
Commander direction
Start with an Italian cruiser commander that improves reload, agility, and survivability; for a secondary build, test inspirations that extend secondary reach or improve secondary consistency while keeping enough concealment/handling to disengage.
Use these as direction, not a fixed build sheet: tune the final commander, inspirations, and skills around your roster, matchmaking, and comfort.
