Analysis
It makes all your units tankier by decreasing the damage they take and by granting a shield that also makes them immune to hitstun. On top of that Lake can summon walls that herd your enemies to the center of the battlefield, forcing the pesky backline from their safety.
Yeah, it's broken in PVP but also in PVE for harder stages, where survivability of your units is an issue.
For more than a year the ship was considered the best in PVP in KR, but with the release of Albion and MK2 it was dethroned. It's still great, but it's not longer banned constantly in KR.
Pros & Cons
Lake Superior Pros
- makes your unit tanky as hell,
- one of the best ultimate skills in the game for PVP.
Lake Superior Cons
- good for defensive playstyle only in PVP,
- once your resolve your team survivability issues in PVE, it becomes useless and it's better to use ships that help your team offensive power.
