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.

No further remodels have been implemented for her yet (as of January 2020).

Important Information

Required for A72, B78, and B79.
An option for F76 and F77.
