AL Dunkerque

Also called: AL 敦刻尔克

France Battleship Commander
FranceBattleshipCrossoverSurvivability
Overview

Built for any battleship, with Floodgate cutting flooding damage to your ship. The Frontal Fire skill makes switching between shell types almost instant when all main guns are loaded, but it lowers HE and AP shell damage, so take it for flexibility rather than raw damage. Roussillon, République and Jean Bart are good fits. Flammable Cannonier and Master Mechanic pair nicely.

Commander Bio

AL Dunkerque is a French battleship commander originating from Azur Lane, the mobile gacha game that reimagines historical warships as moe-anthropomorphic anime characters. Featured in World of Warships Legends as an exclusive crossover, she specializes in close-range firepower and aggressive brawling tactics, with skills emphasizing secondary battery strength, damage control expertise, and fire resilience. Her playstyle distinctly rewards relentless close-quarter engagement and steadfast damage mitigation.
