Analysis

Priority: Low

She has decent firepower which is complemented by her slot distribution. This allows her to perform adequately as a shelling carrier. The size of her two large slots also means she has adequate airstrike power. She is a balnced carrier but her performance isn't worth her rarity. Her innate night attack is weak and not worth consideration.

Recommended Roles

• Combat
• Air Support

Not Recommended Roles

• Shelling Support
• Airstrike Support
