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.

No further remodels have been implemented for her yet (as of January 2020).

Trivia

Her name refers to ”梅雨”, which is a rainy season which happens around the end of spring and early summer. During this time it is humid and the sky is often overcast. It is the subject of many artistic works such as songs, poetry, and paintings in East Asia, specifically Japan, Korea and China.
