While Abukuma is rather average for a light cruiser in combat, her moment of shining comes once she reaches Kai Ni. Once she is provied a blue-print and has reached level 75 she can become a unique light cruiser which can have the ability to use [[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] and [[Daihatsu]]. Because of this Abukuma is considered to be a very valuable light cruiser to use for both combat and [[expedition]] situations.

Since she is the only light cruiser that can use [[Daihatsu]] she can used to help gain extra resources while not partaking in sorties. But at the same time, sin sorties, Abukuma can be useful for situations involving Amphibious beach landings with [[Daihatsu]] and being able to launch preemptive torpedo strikes against abyssal units. While her torpedo strength isn't nearly as strong as [[Kitakami]],[[Ooi]], or [[Kiso]], the main advantage she has over them is her accessibility.

Thanks to the fact that Torpedo Cruisers can be restricted from certain maps and especially in various event maps, light cruisers such as Abukuma are mainly here to aid in backing up and bring the necessary strength of some form of preemptive torpedo strike against the enemy where torpedo cruisers aren't allowed to. Some regular map examples which Abukuma can be useful in to help give an advantage in are [[World 3#3-5|3-5]] and [[World 6#6-3|6-3]]
