## **Abilities**

Belfast is noted to be proficient at nearly everything and thus, befitting her status as a head maid. In-game, she has above average stats in most departments and excellent offensive and defensive skills, making her useful in nearly every build and one of the most powerful ships in the game overall. With time, this has become more downplayed with the introduction of more sensibly designed Royal Light Cruisers like Swiftsure.

## **Trivia**

* Both of Belfast's skills seems to be modeled after her World of Warships self, especially given that even in Azur Lane, British CLs' specialty is still AP shells and in real life British CLs aren't issued with HE shells, only Semi-AP shells. Her initial equipment is AP matching with the real specialty.
* Belfast's HE skill icon is a shout out to a scene in Black Lagoon, in which the killer maid Roberta lifted her maid skirt to drop a dozen live grenades on the floor after she wiped the floor with a whole bar of mafia goons. While performing a formal farewell bow. A shoutout that also pretty much sums up the performance of Belfast in combat.
