Analysis

Priority:

Kai/Kai Ni: Medium

She is just an average light cruiser at Kai with no compensating features. Her Kai Ni gains better combat stats but she is still inferior to Kuma, Nagara and Natori. Her saving grace is that her Kai Ni level is the lowest among all the light cruisers. But it is still quite high for her capabilities. She does have a slight niche in having a relatively high nominal ASW stat for her level, however, this comes at a time when a new player would be unlikely to be able to provide her the T4 sonars she needs to hit 100ASW.

She received her Kai Ni on 15/01/2014
