Player Opinion
Pros:
- Fastest Warship in the game with ground breaking 55.2 knots top speed with Engine Boost and Sierra Mike ()
- She carry the fastest torpedoes in the game with 75 knots speed and only Japanese Counterparts deal more damage
- Fast torpedo reload time with proper Commander Build
- Have most Health Pool of All Destroyers in the game
- Her 139mm Main Battery can Devastate enemy Destroyers and Cruisers in Close Range Duels
- Have French Spaced Armour Scheme allowing her to sustain big amount of punishment in knife-fighting duels with enemy Destroyers and Light Cruisers
Cons:
- No smoke screen (She depends heavily on her Speed and Terrain around her)
- Ammo Rack can be detonated very easy like on every French Destroyer
- Poor Base Reload Time of 7 seconds
- Torpedo Range is the Worst on Tier X with 8km
- Big Turning Radius (Things getting worst if you are forced to perform evasive maneuvers on full throttle)

Upgrades

Kléber is a gunboat destroyer, so upgrades suiting gunboat destroyers are useful for her, such as Engine Boost Modification 1 (+50% to duration of Engine Boost.) for her unique Engine Boost (While active, increases a ship's speed by a fixed percentage.) consumable and Aiming Systems Modification 1 (-7% to maximum dispersion of main battery shells. / +20% to torpedo tubes traverse speed. / +5% to secondary battery maximum firing range. / -5% to maximum dispersion of secondary shells.). Concealment System Modification 1 (-10% to detectability radius. / +5% to the maximum dispersion of enemy shells that fire on your ship.) is standard for almost all destroyers, and one's choice for the first slot will depend on whether one wants to farm Juliet Charlie flags.

- Slot 1: Damage Control Party
- Slot 2: Main Battery Reload Booster
- Slot 3: Engine Boost
Camouflage
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce detectibility range.
Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Kléber with Type 20 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, increases her credit earnings, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
