❓ Frequently asked questions
How do you unlock Richelieu in World Conqueror 4?
Richelieu is unlocked from the Elite Shop for 30 elite items (naval category). It sits at tier A — a strong tier, sitting just below the absolute elite but fully competitive in Conquest and PvP.
What are Richelieu's maximum stats at level 12?
At level 12, Richelieu peaks at 127 attack, 46 defense, 835 HP, 12 movement and range 3. Competitive naval profile — a good trade-off between hull and firepower, strong in escort and line duty.
Which milestone perks does Richelieu unlock?
Milestone tiers: level 5 "Coordinated strike", level 12 "Ironbreaker". These are the most impactful levels to reach — they unlock passive effects or active abilities that reshape the unit's tactical profile. Steer your progression to hit them first.
How expensive is fully upgrading Richelieu to level 12?
Cumulative cost levels 1 → 12 for Richelieu: ~268k industry, ~7.9k tech, 780 elite items, 45 badges. The main bottleneck is industry and elite items — hit the milestone levels 5, 9 and 12 first rather than evenly smoothing intermediate upgrades.
Which generals pair best with Richelieu?
Pair it with Navy-specialty generals (Yamamoto, Nimitz, Dönitz, Cunningham) running Fleet or Naval Supremacy. Hull and naval-attack bonuses stack on the unit's profile.
In which scenarios is Richelieu most useful?
Use it as the backbone of an escort fleet or on the maritime front line. It matches up against stock navals and carries most engagements without costing you an S-tier slot.
