Hidden Fit Bonuses

• She has accuracy and firepower bonuses when equipped with certain medium guns. Please see Gun Fit Bonuses for mode details.

Analysis

Priority: Very High

Although her Kai is nothing special in terms of combat stats, her opening torpedo ability is incredibly powerful. This becomes even more apparent when she hits Kai Ni. Her opening torpedo hits the damage cap and can take out most enemy ships that you'll encounter. Do note she is classified as a "Torpedo Cruiser" which means she doesn't count as a light cruiser and can encounter routing or fleet composition restrictions. Although her high luck allows her to reliably perform torpedo cut-ins, this is not recommended as she already manages to almost reach the night battle cap with a double attack setup.

• Kitakami was part of the game's official launch when the game was released in April 23rd, 2013.
• Upon remodelling to Kai, she refers to herself as "Super Kitakami-sama"
• She and Ooi were the first ships to receive Kai Ni on 6/19/2013. Chiyoda and Chitose followed on 7/24/2013.
• Though still a derivation of the CL, upon being remodelled to CLT her ammo consumption will skyrocket to near CV levels.
