Hiei Kai Ni C's ship class in-game is the Kongou-class, but is displayed as "Kai Kongou-class" on her Library page.

Gameplay Notes

Fast Battleships (FBB) are BB with higher speed. They:

• Usually have more permissive Routings,
• Can be placed in the Escort of a Combined Fleet regardless of their speed.

Special Mechanics

Kai Ni

• Can perform special AACI:

AACI Patterns
ID	Priority Order	Setup	Shot down per slot	K-value	Rate	User
32	39	OR OR	+4	1.2	50%	Hiei Kai Ni/C

Kai Ni C

• Can perform Closing Torpedo Salvo.

Kongou-class Special Attack

On Kai Ni B/C, the Kongou-class gains a special attack called "Night Assault":

• A Kongou-class Kai Ni B/C must be flagship.
  • Flagship of the 2nd fleet in combined fleets.
• Another "Touch Helper" must be in the 2nd position.
• Both must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
• It must be a Night Battle.

• There must be 5 or more surface ships in the fleet.
  • There must be no more than 1 submarine in 6-ship fleets. In 7-ship fleets, only 2 submarines are allowed.
  • There must be no more than 1 surface ship in the fleet sunk or evacuated via FCF
    during a sortie, making the remaining total < 5. Only ships in the escort fleet are counted for combined ones.

• In single fleet, Line Ahead or Echelon need to be selected.
• In a combined fleet, Cruising Formation 2 or Cruising Formation 4 need to be selected.
  • In a combined fleet, it can only be triggered in the Escort fleet.

"Touch Helpers"
Kongou Flagship:	Hiei Flagship:	Haruna Flagship:	Kirishima Flagship:
Any other Kongou-class Kai Ni B/C
Kai Ni Base/Kai Base/Kai	Kai Ni	-

If triggered:

• The flagship will do a 1st attack,
• The 2nd battleship will do a 2nd attack,
• Each attack targets a ship at random,
• If all enemies sunk, then touch stops early.

[1]Nb of 35.6 K3C/K4	Red T	Parallel Head-on	Green T
0	1.920.8 x 2.4	2.4	31.25 x 2.4
1	2.130.8 x 2.4 x 1.11	2.662.4 x 1.11	3.331.25 x 2.4 x 1.11
2+	2.210.8 x 2.4 x 1.15	2.762.4 x 1.15	3.451.25 x 2.4 x 1.15

Despite several devs' announcements, other equipment surch as the 35.6cm Twin Gun Mount Kai 2 and "advance Radars" do not provide any bonus to the touch [2].

• The modifiers are pre-cap.
• There is also an Accuracy bonus of 1.35~1.4 [3].

• The attack will consume extra ammo from both participating battleships when triggered. The total ammo consumption will be x1.2 of the original ammo consumption of those ships when the attack is triggered, hence:
  • If it is triggered in a night battle in a normal node, it costs 6 % extra ammo.
  • If it is triggered in a night battle node, it costs 2 % extra ammo.

The Night Assault can be:

• Activated in the same battle as another separate special attack.
• Activated twice per sortie, during night battle only:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Trigger}_\text{Rate}\text{%} = \Biggl\lfloor 3.5 \times \sum_\text{Ships} \sqrt{\text{Lv}} + 1.1 \times \sum_\text{Ships} \sqrt{\text{Luck}} + \text{A} + \text{B} - 33 \Biggr\rfloor }[/math]

With

• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv} }[/math] the Level of the participating ships,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Luck} }[/math] the Luck of the participating ships,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{A & B} }[/math] as follow:

Bonus	Flagship Conditions	Flagship
		Kongou C	Hiei C	Haruna B	Haruna C	Kirishima C
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{A} }[/math]	Surface Surface Radar with a base LoS ≥ 8 equipped, 0 otherwise	30	10	15	20	?
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{B} }[/math]	Large Type 96 150cm Searchlight equipped, 0 otherwise	10	30	0	0	?

Trivia

General Information

• She is named after Mount Hiei.
• She was launched on the 21st of November 1912.
• Sunk following the Battle of Guadalcanal on the 14th of November 1942; she was the first IJN battleship ever to be lost in WWII.
• Wreck located 6 February 2019 by RV Petrel. She rests upside down in 900 meters (3,000 feet) of water.

Update History

• She was part of the original game's launch when the game was released on the 23rd of April 2013.
• She got her Kai Ni on the 20th of November 2013.
• She got her Kai Ni C on the 23rd of April 2020.

Misc

• She was disarmed and turned into a training ship in 1929 before serving as Emperor Hirohito's transport from 1930 to 1937 when she was rearmed.
• Hiei is the only one of the Kongou sisters having to have her superstructure mast reconstructed into a prototype similar to that used on the Yamato-class.  Her slightly higher armor and health compared to her sisters can likely be attributed to this.
• She appeared in the first Kancolle Drama CD, also dubbed One Nao show, along with other characters in a mini skit. Link to show: https://soundcloud.com/masapusan/one-nao-show (TL is included in comments). She also appeared in the anime with Kongou, Haruna, and Kirishima.
