| As the second-best night battlers after CLTs and a critical component of escort fleets (and by extension, responsible for killing bosses), CA(V)s are amongst the most important ships in the game. Knowing their strengths and weaknesses and training a strong cruiser force is therefore one of your top priorities. | | As the second-best night battlers after CLTs and a critical component of escort fleets (and by extension, responsible for killing bosses), CA(V)s are amongst the most important ships in the game.

| + | At K1, the Furutaka-class is very weak, packing a base night-battle power comparable to DDs. They do get a bit stronger when they hit K2, but in reality that second remodel simply brings them on par with most other K1s. That Furutaka K2 is strictly worse than Takao in every area in exchange for a small consumption difference is telling, and relegates them to reserve-fleet status. |
| | | |
− | =====Aoba-Class=====
| + | The Aoba-class are just as poor as the Furutaka-class, Kinugasa does have a K2 at level 55, but like the Furutaka K2s, this simply puts her on par with what other cruisers thirty levels lower are capable of. Aoba is one of the worst cruisers in the game, she has 30 luck which can be useful for TPCIs in ridiculously desperate situations, but otherwise has almost no combat value. |

| + | ''TL;DR:'' For an event, don't bother with these guys at all, Kinugasa and Furutaka-class K2s do come with valuable equipment (No 2 and 3 guns) but Aoba has neither long term potential nor valuable equipment. |

| The next two Takao sisters will be reviewed separately, simply because they have vastly differing roles in a fleet, Maya is an overall strong K2 with a specialization in anti-air, while Choukai is the single-best night attacker in the game apart from the CLTs. | | The next two Takao sisters will be reviewed separately, simply because they have vastly differing roles in a fleet, Maya is an overall strong K2 with a specialization in anti-air, while Choukai is the single-best night attacker in the game apart from the CLTs. |
