The ability to mount a speed boost consumable, coupled that with fairly good turret arcs, means that she is able to run away from enemy ships angled while still firing at them, effecting 'kiting' the enemy and maximizing survivability in situations in which you need to flee. Her mobility can also be used to close within 'brawling' range of isolated battleships, allowing République to make use of her secondary battery. Her mobility is best used to reach opportunistic positions and flanks, where her amazing guns and gun handling will facilitate destruction of enemy ships from the side. République has an excellent mobility advantage over her same-tier counterparts, and - combined with her average concealment - her play style becomes fairly similar to that of Montana and a little bit like a heavy cruiser as well. However it is more viable to fire the punishing AP shells, and to use the HE shells only towards angled enemy battleships. In addition to this excellent AP, it is worth noting that the High Explosive shells on the République are also surprisingly effective, having the same fire chance as the tier 10 British Battleship Conqueror of 48% and a very good HE alpha damage. In addition, her 17 inch guns are able to overmatch 30mm, a plating found on many high tier cruisers, which when coupled with her fast speed and good mobility make République an excellent cruiser hunter.

Her AP shells have the best penetration characteristics in the game up to 15km, and second to Yamato from 16km onwards. She is primarily a 'flanker', relying on her mobility and good accuracy to punish enemy broadsides from unexpected positions. Luckily, she plays quite similarly to the previous ships in the French battleship line, so lessons learned in the previous ships will be useful with République. République has a fairly unique play style compared to that of the other Tier X battleships.
