## Usage Patterns

Kreuzer is a common Seafaring specialist that improves ship mobility. The movement speed bonus helps ships travel faster across the map, while the favourable wind angle bonus allows ships to sail more efficiently against the wind. Place this specialist in a ship's captain slot to benefit from these bonuses.

## Common Pitfalls

- As a common specialist, the bonuses are relatively modest compared to higher rarity alternatives
- Only affects the ship it is placed on, not fleet-wide
- The favourable wind angle bonus is most useful for routes that frequently require sailing against prevailing winds
