<h4>Intro</h4>
===Pros===
* Pro 1
* Pro 2


Edgar marks the pinnacle of the British light cruiser line, taking Minotaur’s strengths while removing some of her weaknesses. She has a large amount of different weapons at her disposal, making her a universal threat against all classes. However, she is the only British tech-tree light cruiser that doesn´t receive enhanced energy retention whilst turning.
===Cons===
* Con 1
* Con 2


Most noticeably, Edgar gains an extra back turret, increasing the already amazing firepower of the Minotaur. While you are still limited to only AP-shells, the Edgar parks an extra punch when using the alternative fire mode. For three quick salvoes, you get twice as much penetration, and 50% higher damage, at the cost of a long, 35 second reload. While the short fuze still makes it hard to go through spaced armour, pressing the F-key can almost make you feel like a heavy cruiser for a moment, and punish unsuspecting cruisers.


Another welcomed upgrade is some 700 meters extra range on the main guns, and more notably, a whole 2 km extra torpedo range. With the torpedoes already being excellent, the added range makes then a fierce weapon, and well worth investing some commander skills into. To round of the upgrades, you gain a little more speed, some extra hitpoints, longer smoke duration and a slightly better protected citadel. However, you will still get obliterated if you are not careful, but if you employ similar tactics to the Minotaur, you will have great success, and may surprise someone with you long range torpedoes and burst fire mode.

Edgar carries twelve fast-firing 152mm guns in six twin turrets, the same turrets and guns as found on Minotaur.  Like the rest of the line, she only has AP shells with improved penetration angles and floaty ballistics. However, she lacks Minotaur’s reduced arming threshold, requiring 25mm of armor to fuse, making her less effective against destroyers.She also retains the short AP fuse time of her predecessors, so she will struggle to citadel cruisers with spaced armor.
<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
Edgar has the second highest AP DPM of any ship of the game, just slightly behind ColbertOn top of that already high DPM, her burst fire mode doubles her AP penetration and increases the individual shell damage from 3100 to 4800. This allows her to rapidly fire 36 essentially heavy cruiser AP shells in just 4.5 seconds. It allows her to deal fatal blows to most cruisers below 12km with proper aim, and can devastate destroyers or take a big chunk out of battleships.
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:0; color:inherit; width:100%"
Edgar features 8 torpedo tubes per side in a 4x4 layout. They are identical to Minotaur’s in every aspect, but gain an additional 2 kilometers of range, making them more efficient at area denial.

Edgar’s AA is an upgrade over Minotaur. Despite this the AA merely remains a nuisance against planes. Although it won’t stop a Tier X carrier completely, it’s still strong enough to make her a less appealing target

Edgar gets rid of one of Minotaur´s biggest weaknesses, which is the infamous stepped citadel. Additionally she gains spaced armor under her turrets,  making her machinery space the only part which counts as an exposed citadel. Her bow and stern are 16mm thick. In some scenarios, medium and large caliber AP will just overpenetrate and deal minimal damage, but it leaves her vulnerable to AP overmatch from 234mm+ guns and offers little protection against low caliber AP To compensate for this, Edgar comes equipped with the specialized repair teams consumable, allowing her to restore 40% of her HP in 20 seconds, without any modifiers applied. It can also  restore 50% of citadel damage taken, as opposed to the regular 33% on most cruisers.
</div></div></div>
Her armor layout and super heal aren't the only things helping her survive in battle. As a British light cruiser, Edgar possesses enhanced acceleration, allowing her to dodge shells and torpedoes. Despite this, she is the only British tech tree light cruiser that doesn't have enhanced energy retention in a turn. This means she isn't able to “drift” like Minotaur. Edgar drops down to 27.2 knots in a full turn, while Minotaur can retain 32.7 knots doing the same. This is a severe downgrade to her dodging ability and makes it harder to outmaneuver the enemy in close quarter combat.

Her concealment is excellent. If the player chooses to run all necessary upgrades and captain skills, Edgars concealment can drop down to 9.5 kilometers, leaving her room to stealth radar.

As a high tier British light cruiser, Edgar gets to choose between running either the smoke generator, or surveillance Radar consumable.Therefore players have to choose whether  to optimize Edgar for farming damage for smoke, or for DD hunting duties with the help of radar and her insane DPM. While smoke farming is a relatively easy playstyle, she should still move back and forth within her smokescreen to avoid possible torpedo threats or incoming AP salvoes.


Because of her increased AP arming threshold, players shouldn’t expect the same consistent full pens against destroyers. If they are lucky, they can even survive her full burst fire.                                    Still, Edgar remains a menace against destroyers. Radar Edgar players must be cautious about carrier spotting and crossfires from medium and large caliber AP.

<!-- Add the ship code here to populate the upgrade table -->
{{Ship Upgrades Section|code=PBSC111_Edgar}}


|Pros=<!-- write list of positive points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
* Insane AP dpm with enhanced AP shells that is only increased by combat instructions.
* Citadel is somewhat more protected than Minotaur; less likely to be destroyed by a single battleship salvo
* Combat instructions give Edgar the much needed alpha damage lacking in the British light cruiser line
* Reliable torpedoes with 12 km range and the option to single launch
* Option between the smoke screen generator or surveillance radar consumables
* Good survivability for a light cruiser due to improved armor scheme and access to the specialized repair teams consumable
* Stealth radar capabilities
|Cons=<!-- write list of negative points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
* Edgar is noticeably larger and more sluggish than Minotaur, making her more reliant on smoke, and harder to maneuver in open water
* 16mm plating gets overmatched by many same tier cruisers
* No HE shells
* 25mm arming threshhold on the AP shells leads to more frequent overpens on destroyers
|Research=
As a top tier ship, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has no module upgrades to research.

{{Ship Consumables Section|consumables=
* '''Slot 2''': {{Engine Room Protection}} '''or''' {{Surveillance Radar Modification 1}}
* '''Slot 1:''' {{Damage Control Party}} (5.0s action, 60.0s cooldown)

Edgar — U.K. Tech Tree Tier 11 Cruiser.

While working on the Minotaur-class project, British engineers were inspired by the U.S. Worcester-class cruisers laid down in 1945. After the lead ship entered service in 1948, a proposal was made to increase the number of turrets to six; however, this idea was abandoned due to the respective increase in development time that such a change would have entailed.
