** As destroyers do not have the ability to field seaplanes, have low firepower but high torpedo stats, and few equipment slots, their use in fleets is generally to meet composition requirements. Their common setups focus on Anti-Sub Warfare, Night Torpedo, or Fleet Anti-Air Support

** A Mixture of [[List of Anti-Submarine Equipment by stats|SONAR and Depth Charges]] ({{Template:Sonar}}{{Template:DepthCharge}}) make your destroyers effective, accurate sub killers when enemy fleets contain Submarines.

** On destroyers with high luck ([[Ayanami]], [[Shigure]], [[Yukikaze]]), 2 or 3 pieces of [[List of Torpedoes by stats|Torpedo Equipment]] ({{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}) will often trigger a potent Torpedo Cut-In attack in Night Combat.

** When facing maps with many enemy fleets with carriers, destroyers can provide a considerable amount of fleet AA support using [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Main_Guns_by_stats#Light_Guns high-angle mounts] {{Template:GreenGunDP}} and [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#Anti-Air_Cut-In anti-air cut-in] setups to reduce incoming bomber damage.

* '''Light Cruisers'''

** Light Cruisers gain access to the Medium size Main guns to buff their firepower as well as seaplanes (with a few exceptions with regards to seaplanes, those being CLTs, Isuzu Kai Ni, Yuubari and both of the Tenryuu class), making Artillery Spotting setups feasible and effective against moderately armored enemy vessels.

** For light cruisers facing enemy fleets, a setup with 2 Main guns and a Seaplane ({{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:Seaplane}}) offers a potent double attack in both daytime Artillery Spotting and Night combat.

** For fleets without air power, one [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Main_Guns_by_stats#Medium_Guns medium main gun] and two [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/15.5cm_Triple_Gun_Mount_(Secondary) 15.5cm Triple Gun Mounts] ({{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:YellowGun}}{{Template:YellowGun}}) will maximize firepower while maintaining double attacks in night battle

** The special class of the Torpedo Cruisers deserves some mention here: their specialty lies in their torpedoes and should almost always be equipped with a {{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}[[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] (to enable opening torpedo strikes). To diversify their damage output, typically two medium main guns and/or [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/15.5cm_Triple_Gun_Mount_(Secondary) 15.5cm Triple Gun Mounts] are equipped to increase shelling damage and enable Night Battle Double Attacks ({{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:YellowGun}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}).

*** Before a Torpedo Cruiser's final remodel, due to limited slots it's advisable to use [[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] and a torpedo ({{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}) to make the most of their preemptive attack.

** The go-to setup for most situations will be the 2 main guns, RADAR, seaplane setup ({{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:Radar}}{{Template:Seaplane}}) which provides day and night double attack potential.

** Certain Event bosses take additional damage when a ship is equipped with [[Type 3 Shell]]s. As heavy cruisers have access to these, a Heavy Cruiser may find swapping the RADAR for a [[Type 3 Shell]] ({{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:GreenAmmo}}{{Template:Seaplane}}) to be effective against such targets (see [[Airfield Princess]]).

** In the case of a battle occurring with Night Combat first, one option is to replace the RADAR and seaplane with two torpedoes {{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}, which will lose the day combat special attacks but give the chance for powerful two-torpedo cut-in attacks.

** Battleships feature a selection of Heavy Main Guns and massive resulting firepower in addition to the potent Armor Piercing shells which can cause brutal critical hits. Setups for battleships are similar to those of heavy cruisers, with one notable addition.
