Hidden Fit Bonuses
- She has accuracy bonuses and penalties when equipped with certain large guns. Please see Gun Fit Bonuses for mode details.
Analysis
Priority: High
- She and her sisters are the only fast battleships obtainable through normal construction. Until you get the LSC and event fast battleships, you will be depending heavily on the Kongou-class when you need battleships for maps with speed restrictions.
- Her Kai has low firepower and defensive stats but she is still usable.
- Her Kai Ni improves her firepower and defensive stats. When taking into account her rarity, remodel level and remodel cost; she is a necessary fast battleship for every admiral. However, do note that her AACI has a low fixed shootdown and weak multiplier. It also has a high API number which means it will override nearly all other AACI in the fleet.
Recommended Roles
- Combat
- Support Expeditions
Not Recommended Roles

Important Info
- Required for unlocking the 4th fleet slot.

Trivia
- She is named after Mount Hiei.
- She was disarmed and turned into a training ship in 1929 before serving as Emperor Hirohito's transport from 1930 to 1937 when she was rearmed.
- Hiei is the only one of the Kongou sisters having to have her superstructure mast reconstructed into a prototype similar to that used on the Yamato-class. Her slightly higher armor and health compared to her sisters can likely be attributed to this.
- She received her Kai Ni on 20/11/2013.
- Sunk following the Battle of Guadalcanal on November 14, 1942; she was the first IJN battleship ever to be lost in WWII.
- Wreck possibly found by Dr. Robert Ballard in 1993. There is discussion as to whether the wreck is her or Kirishima.
- She appeared in the first Kancolle Drama CD, also dubbed One Nao show, along with other characters in a mini skit. Link to show: https://soundcloud.com/masapusan/one-nao-show (TL is included in comments). She also appeared in the anime with Kongou, Haruna and Kirishima.
