Analysis

Ayanami Kai

Priority: Low

At first remodel, she has low firepower and a decent torpedo stat, making her hitting harder in night battle than at day, but not great at either.

While not impressive in combat, do keep in mind than many maps require you to bring at least a few destroyers for routing.

Furthermore, destroyers are cheap to deploy and can equip Drum Canister, making them suited for expeditions.

Ayanami Kai Ni

Priority: Very High

Her second remodel increases her Torpedo stat and especially gives her a massive +25 Firepower boost, which combined with her base luck of 40 makes her a destroyer very well suited for surface combat, not just at day but particularly during night battle, which fits her achievements from history.

Recommended Roles

• Surface combat (Second remodel)
• Night battle (Second remodel)

Important Information

• Required for A72, B78 and B79.

Trivia

• Scuttled following the Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, November 15, 1942. (9°10′S 159°52′E)
• Her name means "Crossing waves".
• While in KanColle she is the lead ship of the Ayanami Class, in other contexts she is referred to to as the 11th ship of the Fubuki class.  She was the first of the greater Fubuki class (containing the Fubuki, Ayanami and Akatsuki classes) with a modified gun turret allowing her guns to angle up to 75 degrees.  When introduced, her class were among the most powerful destroyers in the world along with Fubuki and Akatsuki-class.
• Wreck discovered in 1992 by Dr. Robert Ballard
• Ayanami is one of the three IJN ships in Iron Bottom Sound, along with Kirishima and Yuudachi.
• Her second remodel represents her performance during her final mission, a night battle where she formed a single 'prong' of a three-pronged attack alone (other prongs each contained a light cruiser and multiple destroyers), sank (or helped sink) three destroyers, heavily damaged a fourth, and assisted Kirishima in trading fire with a battleship, the USS South Dakota.
• Received her Kai Ni on 20/06/2014.
• The Evangelion character Rei Ayanami takes her family name from this ship. In fact, almost all Evangelion characters have names connected to ships (IJN ships in particular); Maya Ibuki (in this case a double reference because Ibuki is also the name of an IJN cruiser), Shigeru Aoba, and Ritsuko Akagi to name a few.
