HMS Lion is a forward thinking individual willing to learn new things instead of staying with just one tactic. Her favourite tactic includes firing HE shells from long range before getting up close using aggressive tactics to overwhelm her crippled enemies. However, she has been seen carrying out ambush tactics making her an unpredictable opponent.
