Analysis

Kawakaze Kai

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.

Kawakaze Kai Ni

Priority: Medium

Her second remodel increases many of her combat stats making her a versatile destroyer, also granting her the ability to equip Daihatsu for expeditions or an anti-installation role (however, she cannot operate tanks).

She does not require an Action Report for this remodel, unlike her sisters, but keep in mind that her ASW stat is lower than theirs.

Recommended Roles

• Surface combat (Second remodel)
• Expeditions (Second remodel)
• Anti-installation (Second remodel)

Important Information

• Required for A68, B68, and B136.
