Analysis
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.
- In particular, she and her sister ships consume a little less ammo than your average DD, therefore increasing net resource gain.
- No further remodels have been implemented for her yet (as of January 2020).
Recommended Roles
- Expeditions
Not Recommended Roles
- Surface combat
