Le Triomphant was the fifth of six Le Fantasque-class contre-torpilleurs, entering service on 24 July 1936. Initially based in Brest and part of a scouting division, she became actively involved in World War II, where she escorted convoys and hunted German vessels. Following a skirmish near the Skagerrak in 1940, she underwent repairs in Lorient before relocating to Plymouth due to the German invasion of France. Seized by the British during Operation Catapult, she was transferred to Free France and later served in the Pacific theatre. After enduring significant damage in a 1943 typhoon, she was repaired in Boston and later supported operations in French Indochina. Decommissioned in 1946, she was briefly reactivated before being scrapped in 1957.

Introduced as a reward for the Battle Pass: Season XIV, "Airborne General" in Update "La Royale", Le Triomphant features a combination of excellent speed and firepower. However, her main guns suffer from an inability to rotate quickly enough to keep up with the vessel's turn rate - her horizontal targeting speed is slower than that of most heavy cruisers. She is best utilised to counter enemy destroyers and light cruisers. Compared to her tech-tree equivalent, she sacrifices one of the main guns and some of her anti-air capability for an additional torpedo mount.
