: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.
 
 
 
 
 
'''Kuroshio Kai Ni'''
 
 
 
Priority: '''Medium-Low'''
 
:Her second remodel increases her Firepower and Torpedo stats to excellent levels for a destroyer, making her excellently suited for surface combat, and also raises her ASW allowing her to perform OASW at high-but-before-marriage levels with proper gear.
 
:While her night battle potential is very high, her base luck is low and doesn't allow her to use night cut-in attacks reliably. (Raising her Luck stat is an option for veteran admirals.)
 
:Unlike her sisters [[Shiranui]] and [[Kagerou]], she can be outfitted with tanks to be deployed against enemy installations effectively, though she cannot use [[Daihatsu]].
 
:Additionally, keep in mind that this remodel requires a [[Blueprint]].
 
 
 
 
 
====Recommended Roles====
 
* Surface combat (Second remodel)
 
* ASW (Second remodel)
 
* Anti-installation (Second remodel)
 
 
 
===Important Information===
 
* Required for A88 and B117.
 
* An option for C15 and C21.
 
* Comes with a [[12.7cm Twin Mount Type-C Kai 2]] +5 on Kai Ni

I'm the 3rd ship 'o the Kagerou-class destroyers that was built in a privately-owned shipyard in Osaka, Kuroshio.[2]

I might not look it, but I took part in the hard fights of the Battle of Surabaya, the Battle of the South Pacific, and the Third Battle of the Solomon Seas.[3]
