Analysis

Priority:Medium

  • Kai
She is an average heavy cruiser with decent firepower and torpedo. She is easy to obtain and with a low remodel level which makes her a decent heavy cruiser to start off with.
  • Kai Ni
She gains a significant increase to her firepower and torpedo that makes her a very powerful heavy cruiser. This upgrade makes her the most powerful heavy cruiser in game. While it does come at a steep blueprint cost, she is worthwhile once you have the resources to spare.

I'm the 4th ship of the Takao-class, Choukai.

  • Named after Mt. Choukai.
  • She appeared in the first Kancolle Drama CD, also dubbed One Nao show, along with other characters in a mini skit.
