Budyonny is a formidable foe at tier 6, being equipped with 9 fast firing 152mm guns that can reliably start fires on any enemies. She is the first ship of the Soviet cruiser line to feature a long range HE spamming playstyle, which continues all the way to Chappayev at tier VIII. Her guns are accurate, has the signature Soviet ballistics with a short reload time, and a decent fire chance for a light cruiser gun. Her armor, although improved from Kirov, is absolutely nothing to brag about as they are still vulnerable to most enemy fire. She shares the trait of bad AA, short range torpedoes with Kirov, with the main diffrence setting them apart being the increased number of torpedoes (5) and standard light cruiser guns.
