Lion — British Tier IX battleship.
The last British battleship designed and laid down before the breakout of World War II. In many respects, the ship was a development of the King George V-class ships, but, unlike her predecessors, she had greater dimensions, heavier armor, and modern 406 mm main guns.

Player Opinion
Performance
Pros:
- Great armor piercing shell penetration - sinking her teeth into the toughest of enemy skin.
- High chance of fire with high explosive shells - her roar sets enemies ablaze.
- Ability to change course quickly - exploiting weaknesses in her prey.
- Great concealment - she can hide in plain sight and silently observe.
- High healing capability - hurting her will only make her stronger when combined with the Adrenaline Rush commander skill.
- Decent anti-air weaponry allows her to avoid aircraft that attempt to sting her.
Cons:
- Weak side - her vulnerable to broadside hits from enemy battleships.
- Long body - making her difficult to dodge torpedoes.
- Thin skin - very low hit points compared to other tier IX battleships as well as a lower Torpedo Defense System.
- Medium top speed - not fast enough to hunt every ship, instead forced to pounce on her prey rather than chase.

Consumables
Lion should always invest in her hunt with premium Damage Control Party, Repair Party, and Aircraft consumables. Spotting Aircraft II enables for better vision, enabling her to mangle prey. Catapult Fighter II also gives some vision, but is mainly designed to swat away the fleas and ticks at bay. Played properly, lion always repays her debts.
Camouflage
Never send Lion into battle naked. Most camouflages in the game come with a -3% to detectability buff, aiding with the hunt. In addition, most camouflages also come with a +4% to enemy dispersion, making it harder for them to pierce your skin. If it is time for Lion to grow up and conquer, equip camouflages with 100% to xp bonuses as well.
