Analysis

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.

Her second remodel gives her a sizable boost to Firepower, Torpedo, AA and ASW, making her all-around stronger in anti-surface combat and able to perform OASW at high-but-before-marriage levels with proper gear.

Recommended Roles

Surface combat (Second remodel)
ASW (Second remodel)

Important Information

Required for A48, A85, B37, and C17.

Trivia

Sunk in action, November 13, 1944 in Manila Bay, Philippines, at 14°35′N 120°50′E.
Her name means "the beginning of Spring".
The Hatsuharu class were originally intended to number a dozen, but Hatsuharu was found to be top-heavy. Nenohi and Hatsuharu were completed and then modified to fix the issue, Wakaba and Hatsushimo were modified during construction (thus their different uniforms). (Ariake and Yugure, the last two, had barely been begun, and so were constructed differently). The remaining planned six ships became the first six ships of the Shiratsuyu class.
She received her Kai 2 with the 10/10/2014 update.
Her outstanding AA stat at Kai Ni reflects to her historical upgrade after she had been struck from a US dive bomber off of Kiska on 17 October, 1942. Oboro, who accompanied her, sank during the attack. After limping back to Paramushiro on her own steam, she was docked at Maizuru Naval Arsenal for repairs. During this time, she was outfitted with numerous Type-96 25mm AA guns and a Type 22 Surface RADAR. In this game, she is instead outfitted with a 25mm Triple Autocannon Mount and a Type 13 AIR RADAR Kai to represent her great AA capabilities.
She is required for quest A48.
