'''Hidden Fit Bonuses'''
* She gains bonus evasion and accuracy at night when equipped with 20.3cm variants. Please see [[Gun Fit Bonuses]] for mode details.
===Analysis===
* Kai: '''High'''
: Her firepower and torpedo stats are decent which makes her usable for combat. However, her defensive stats make her a lot more vulnerable than the other heavy cruisers of similar power. Her advantage over those heavy cruisers is the ability to carry seaplane fighters. The latter is important when you need to bring air support to maps where carriers are restricted. This is especially important because the number of aviation cruisers in game is small. She is also fast, which means she isn't affected by speed restrictions either. In addition, she is relatively easier to obtain making her an important aviation cruiser.
* Kai Ni: '''Medium'''
: She gains a significant increase to her torpedo and HP which translates into higher damage potential and survivability. Her ability to equip 8cm guns in he reinforcement expansion also increases her flexibility by allowing her to continue to do night battle special attacks while maximising air power. Although her remodel level and cost is high, she is well worth the cost.
* Kai Ni Kou: '''Low'''
: Her Kai Ni Kou remodel turns her into a light carrier with great firepower, HP and armour. Her plane count is low and her slots are small but she makes an excellent shelling carrier. She shouldn't be used against heavy anti-air because her slots are at risk of being emptied. Her targeting priority is also different compared to other light carriers. She will prioritise surface ships over submarines when both are present.
