Before we go any further, it's best that we start this with one of the most important pieces of advice we can give you: '''Just because a DD ''can'' run a reliable TPCI doesn't mean that a DD ''should'' run a TPCI.''' Torpedo Cut-Ins are fundamentally ''options'' that should be used appropriately, while they are more powerful than double attacks, they are also less reliable, you can have 60 luck in a flag position with skilled lookouts and/or searchlights, starshells, lucky charms, blood sacrifices, whatever. She ''will still CI less consistently than she would perform a DA''. Before using a TPCI setup on a DD, always consider whether the same results would be achieved with a DA setup.

TPCIs are fundamentally a ''utility'' that should be used appropriately, while they are more powerful than double attacks, they are also less reliable, a 60 luck Yukikaze in a flag position with skilled lookouts and/or searchlights, starshells, lucky charms, blood sacrifices etc. ''will still CI less consistently than she would perform a DA has she been given a DA set''.

The reason TPCI DDs are TPCI DDs is because they all have one thing in common: good luck.
The reason TPCI DDs are TPCI DDs is because they all have one thing in common: good luck, luck is the major determinant in how often a cut-in attack happens. TPCIs offer far more power than a double attack (150% * 2). Destroyer TPCIs are important to understand because unlike CLs, CLTs or CAs, DDs have the lowest opportunity cost of running a torpedo set:
* Ayanami (40 luck) is one of the best DDs overall, 72FP places her 1 behind Yuudachi. Ayanami would be one of the best DDs whether or not she had such luck, and is often used with a double attack set in any case.
* CLs, with the exception of Abukuma and perhaps Yura who would can utilize torps in the day well, give up daytime artillery spotting
* CLTs already have night attack power near the cap of 300, and gain very little from a torpedo set
* CAs, with the exception of Maya, must give up daytime double attacks to carry a TPCI set.
* Ayanami (40 luck) is one of the best DDs overall, 72FP places her 1 behind Yuudachi. She would be one of the best DDs even without considering luck, and is often used with a double attack set for her power anyway.
* Yukikaze has 60 luck at level 20, that alone makes her a fantastic early-game option, and one of the top reasons to perform rare DD crafting.

* Hatsushimo has 50 luck, and is essentially a weaker version of Shigure, who is herself fairly mediocre by the late-middle game, her remodelling at level 70 places her in competition with many far better choices.

* Kasumi has 37 luck, is weaker than Ayanami, but still extremely strong, she's better off used to carry daihatsus than as a TPCI DD.

* Ushio with her 32 luck is very weak (by K2 standards), she's essentially only mentioned for being slightly better than a non-K2 DD

On a side note, the CI chances are as follows: <ref>http://kancolle-calc.net/deckbuilder.html</ref>
