USA CA Salem - Damage captain build
- Salem is a Des Moines that has superheal in exchange for worse radar and lack of unique upgrade option. In practice, Salem trades utility for stronger close range abilities
- This build puts maximum emphasis on Salem’s damage output, which is made possible by her improved Specialized Repair Teams consumable. You won’t be able to control your engagements as well as with the standard build.
- Both Doe brothers and Halsey are very good captains for USN CAs, both due to their improved skills, and Halsey’s talents.
- Hydro > Radar due to torp hits negating your superheal amount and Salem carrying a weaker 8.5km radar.
- If you don’t have the Hydro mod, use ERP.
