Analysis
Priority: Low
- She doesn't have any use outside of a few limited niches like cheesing 2-1 for quests, subtanking the 3-5 north route or 6-1 routing. Outside of those limited uses, her limited slots and low defensive stats make her unsuited for anything you'd need aviation submarines for.
Not Recommended Roles
- Combat
- Air Support
