===Analysis===
* Kai: '''Low'''
: She has low firepower for a light carrier which limits her damage potential. Her evenly distributed slots are not very good because they are all on the small side. Her slot sizes are also mostly on the small side which limits her damage potential even further.
* Kai Ni: '''High'''
: She gains a significant increase in firepower and plane count that makes her work a lot better as a shelling carrier. Aside from the top slot, the rest of her slots remain on the small side which limits her airstrike potential. Being fast, it also means she isn't affected by speed restrictions.
* Kai Ni B: '''High'''
: She loses plane count in this remodel and her slot distribution becomes more even. This further limits her airstrike potential. It also means it's harder for her to be a shelling carrier since her slots are at risk of being emptied by heavy anti-air. She does gain the ability to perform OASW but her damage is limited by the inability to take advantage of synergy bonuses. The most significant change is her reclassification to "escort carrier" that means she can be included in a transport combined fleet. This allows her to bring significant air support in a fleet where you have limited options for the role.
