Analysis
Priority: Medium/Low
- She is just an average destroyer at Kai that doesn't have anything to set her apart from the rest
- She gains the ability to equip medium bulges and type 2 tanks on kai ni. In addition to this she also gains a significant increase to her combat stats most notably her firepower which coupled with the Kagerou class fit bonuses make her the strongest double attack anti-installation destroyer. Overall she is slightly weaker than Kagerou and Shiranui in combined firepower + torpedo but makes up for this with her additional utility.
Recommended Roles
- Combat
- Anti-Installation
Important Information
- Required for A88 and B117.
- An option for C15 and C21.
- Comes with a 12.7cm Twin Mount Type-C Kai 2 +5 on Kai Ni
- Comes with a Type 3 Depth Charge +5 on Kai Ni
