She has decent combat stats when compared to other Kai light cruisers but is outclassed by most Kai Ni light cruisers. Her ability to carry seaplane bombers doesn't mean much outside of limited maps with weak enemies and no enemy anti-air. Her high ASW allows her to hit 1-slot OASW much earlier than most other light cruisers which could prove useful. Furthermore, her ability to equip 8cms in REs gives her limited extra flexibility.
