|style="text-align:center;"|{{Ship/Banner|Kuma}} || IJN CL are very unimpressive at Kai, but Kuma is an exception - her stats are very high in all areas, 10 more each than other Kai CL. She's also very easy to find, first appearing in 1-1 and everywhere hereafter. She shines brightly in the first few worlds, where surface combat against other ships is all that matters and no one is high enough level to reach their final remodels.

|style="text-align:center;"|{{Ship/Banner|Akashi}} || Extremely important, and the sooner she's acquired the better. 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.
