− | Priority:
| + | '''Kasumi Kai''' |
| | | |
− | * Kai/Kai Ni: '''High'''
| + | Priority: '''Low''' |
− | : She is just an average destroyer at Kai that doesn't have anything to set her apart from the rest. She gains significant boosts to her firepower and torpedo stats that make her a middle of the pack combat destroyer. Where she shines is the ability to equip Daihatsu and Ka-Mi tanks. Along with her good firepower, this makes her an anti-installation powerhouse. | + | |
| + | :At first remodel, she has low firepower and a decent torpedo stat, making her hitting harder in night battle than at day, but not great at either. |
| + | :While not impressive in combat, do keep in mind than many maps require you to bring at least a few destroyers for routing. |
| + | :Furthermore, destroyers are cheap to deploy and can equip [[Drum Canister]], making them suited for expeditions. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | '''Kasumi Kai Ni''' |
| + | |
| + | Priority: '''High''' |
| + | :Her second remodel increases her Firepower and Torpedo stat to very high levels for a destroyers, making her a destroyer very well suited for surface combat. |
| + | :Furthermore, a base luck of 37 means she can perform powerful cut-in attacks at night with decent reliability. |
| + | :She has enough ASW to perform ASW at high-but-before-marriage levels with proper gear, too. |
| + | :However, she can be remodeled further to fill a different niche in the fleet, which might be preferable for admirals not short of high luck anti-surface destroyers, so giving up this version to obtain the B one is also possibility. |
| + | :She is also able to equip a [[Fleet Command Facility]]. |
| + | :Another option, for those willing to do so, is to raise a second Kasumi as she doesn't need a [[Blueprint]] or [[Action Report]] to be remodeled. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | '''Kasumi Kai Ni B''' |
| + | |
| + | Priority: '''Medium-High''' |
| + | :A further remodel decreases her anti-surface capabilities by reducing her Firepower and Torpedo stat a bit, while keeping her ASW stat. |
| + | :In exchange for this, she the ability to load [[Daihatsu]] and tanks, allowing her to increase expedition income or be deployed against enemy installations. |
| + | :While she cannot equip the [[Fleet Command Facility]] any more, this remodel lets her be fitted with large RADARs not accessible to other destroyers, making her a good candidate for support expeditions. |
| + | :Her AA increases too, and she gains two unique [[Anti-Air Cut-In]] that aren't great but can be useful in a pinch. |
| + | :Newer admirals should carefully consider which remodel to pursue first. |
| | | |
− | * Kai Ni B: '''Low'''
| |
− | : Her Kai Ni B remodel loses out firepower and torpedo in exchange for some anti-air. She also gains a special AACI that has an average fixed shootodwn and multiplier. It also requires a Reinforcement Expansion to bring out her full potential. Since she is a common drop and doesn't require a blueprint, she can be a backup AACI destroyer if you do not have the Fletcher-class, Akizuki-class or Kagerou Kai B-class destroyers.
