World of Warships Legends 1.61 patch notes (PS4)
Ahoy, Captains! We’re introducing a range of items inspired by the Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova- anime. Here’s a detailed look at what you can obtain from the Store during our Summer Festival.
The top of the crop comes in form of two mighty Kongō-class battleships—Haruna and Kirishima—commanded by mental models of the same name.
They are much like Kongō in their capabilities but with some of the main gun power sacrificed. To offer something in return, Kirishima gets an improved AA suite, while Haruna’s secondary guns are just a tad more effective. Both ship bundles include corresponding flags and Permanent Camouflages.
Take the mental models into battle, and impress your opponents with a deadly combo of powerful guns, high speed, and the long range of your batteries!
Flanking Haruna and Kirishima is the Takao Skin for Atago—a seasoned all-rounder with remarkable speed and anti-air capabilities. Spice it up with decent armor and ten 7.8-inch (203 mm) guns and you have a versatile vessel that’s good at everything. Atago is available in the Store right now for 750,000 Global XP.
Next up—a fabulous five of Commanders, including signature Arpeggio characters such as Gunzō Chihaya—the Blue Steel leader himself—and Iona, who was the first mental model of his boarding ship I-401.
Here’s a breakdown of their base traits and unique skills—that’s a lot of new options for your Japanese Commander roster:
GunzōChihaya
