Analysis
Priority:Low
- Her main role is to provide an experience boost in PvP. When paired with her sister Kashima, they can give a significant boost. Her low combat and defensive stats makes her unsuited for surface combat. She does have an edge when it comes to ASW because she possesses 4 slots which allows her to get maximum synergy bonuses. However, her low base ASW becomes an issue when trying to achieve OASW. She well require a lot of levels to be effective.
