She grants the player access to Akashi's Improvement Arsenal, which allows the improvement of equipment, and her ability to gradually repair lightly damaged ships greatly aids Instant Repair conservation efforts. She should be immediately placed in the player's PVP fleet when acquired to get her to Kai, where she gains the ability to repair an additional ship and a boost to her Improvement success rate.

She drops in the boss node of 1-5, 2-5 and 3-5. The easiest place to farm her is in 1-5, but it requires an HQ level of at least '''50'''. Since 1-5 is the best place to focus level DD/CL, she can hopefully be encountered while training your light ships.

| {{Ship/Banner|Kasumi/Kai Ni|small=true}} || Superb. Excellent stats - high night battle attack power and good starting luck. She is also able to equip Tanks and all types of Landing Crafts, making her an effective anti-installation attacker as well. On top of her high stats and ability to take on multiple attacking roles, she's also has historical damage bonuses in maps more often than any other DD in the game, often making her a key boss killer. She can also equip all types of Command Facilities.

However, she is a rare drop from 2-3 only and requires her Kai remodel to be effective, which is at level 55. Highly recommended regardless, as not needing certain gear or level to OASW makes her very flexible.

She also has solid combat stats and the ability to equip all types of landing crafts and tanks. Stays relevant for a very long time due to her torpedo ability alone.

| {{Ship/Banner|Maya/Kai Ni|small=true}} || Excellent CA. While her Kai is painfully average, she shines bright at Kai Ni with a substantial increase to attack power and access to two powerful AACI setups that are exclusive to her. These setups are also relatively light on equipment slots, and allow her to maintain night battle double attack while running AACI. She also complements Akizuki well in maps with very heavy enemy air presence.

Much higher firepower and capacity, compared to her previous form, but somewhat awkwardly distributed aircraft slots. Grants access to the very powerful Tenzan Model 12 (Tomonaga Squadron), potentially the most powerful Torpedo Bomber in the game (providing Type 97 Torpedo Bomber (Tomonaga Squadron) is improved before conversion).

She is difficult to get however, and some target farming will be needed to hunt her down.

While they're slow and they're behind Kongou-class Kai Ni in raw stats, their class allows them to be used in Transport Combined Fleets and their ability to carry seaplane bombers and seaplane fighters comes in useful. They should both at least be acquired and Kai'd, not only for potential use in events but to allow access to a second Prototype Flight Deck Catapult via quests that require them.
