Analysis

Tanikaze 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.

Tanikaze D Kai

Priority: Medium

Her D remodel increases her Firepower, AA and Torpedo stats, making her perform better in most kinds of combat, and also grants her a large ASW boost allowing her to perform OASW attacks with ease, rounding up a versatile destroyer.

Recommended Roles

• Surface combat (D remodel)
• ASW (D remodel)
• Anti-air (D remodel)

Important Information

• Required for A86, A90, B123, and C27.
• An option for C15 and C21.
