Eastern Dragon — Japanese special premium Tier VII cruiser.
A Ship Without a Country! Although the Eastern Dragon is based on the Japanese Myoko-class vessels, the ship itself is a non-national ship. It's a ship of its own "Dragon" nation, and can be crewed by other IJN commanders.

Research
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
As this ship is basically a copy of the tech tree Myoko, the following recommended upgrades are the same:
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1
keeps the guns and torpedo tubes active and firing.
- Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1
makes the ship more resistant to fires and flooding.
- Slot 3: Main Battery Modification 2
makes her guns more comfortable and saves a skill point that would otherwise be spent on Grease the Gears to improve her gun handling. Aiming Systems Modification 1
gives her guns more accuracy and is an alternative option.
- Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 1
allows for a faster rudder shift to dodge incoming fire. Propulsion Modification 1
can also be used to aid dodging incoming fire and torpedoes via speed juking, depending on your preferred play style.
Commander Skills
As this ship is basically a copy of the tech tree Myoko, the following recommended commander skills for maximum effectiveness are the same. However, as it is a copy, players can experiment with different commander skill builds.
Consumables
Just like the tech tree Myoko ship, players have access to the following consumables on Eastern Dragon::
- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Defensive AA Fire
- 3 charges or Hydroacoustic Search
- 3 charges
- Slot 3: Catapult Fighter
- 3 charges
Defensive Fire is recommended for players with an anti-air build and Hydroacoustic Search for those looking to counter and or hunt enemy destroyers.
Camouflage
Mounts the Eastern Dragon camouflage
Signals
As this ship is basically a copy of the tech tree Myoko, the following recommended signals for maximum effectiveness are the same. However, as it is a copy, players can experiment with different signals combinations.
