Analysis

Priority: Low

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.

No further remodels have been implemented for her yet (as of January 2020).

Important Information

Required for A10, A52, A53, B12, B42, B44, and B45.

Trivia

Sunk in action April 13, 1944 south of Guam at 10°13′N 143°51′E.
Her name means "thunder". Ikazuchi is a more poetic or archaic pronunciation of the character "雷", which is usually pronounced "kaminari", thus her intro quote.
She is required by A10, A52, A53, B12 and B42.
