Hidden Fit Bonuses
- She has accuracy and firepower bonuses when equipped with certain medium guns. Please see Gun Fit Bonuses for mode details.
Analysis
Priority:
- Kai: Low
- She is just an average light cruiser at Kai. Her remodel level is lower than other light cruisers but not by much.
- Kai Ni: High
- Her Kai Ni lowers her firepower a little bit but comes with a significant increase to her torpedo and armour. She also gains special abilities that make her one of the most important light cruisers in the game. The most important of these is the ability to equip midget submarines so she can perform opening torpedo strikes. For all intents and purposes, she is a torpedo cruiser in disguise, resulting in significantly increased passing rates in events. This alone already makes her a candidate for best CL in the game, and is a major asset in an event that needs to be committed carefully. Her ability to equip Daihatsu Landing Craft makes her an asset for maximising expedition gains and for transport maps. Although she can also equip Ka-Mi tanks, her low firepower and usefulness in other roles makes her unsuited to the task.
