List of light cruisers by upgraded maximum stats/New

• Green: Outstanding
• Yellow: Above average
• Notable Light Cruisers:
  • Tenryuu-class unremodelled version has the lowest ammo consumption (25 fuel, 20 ammo) compared to other Light Cruisers, which makes them great for ammo-sensitive expeditions.  Even remodeled they still consume less ammo compared to other remodeled Light Cruisers.
  • Isuzu Kai2 boasts the highest ASW stat in-game and an Anti-Air stat almost as good as Heavy Cruiser Maya.
    • Her second remodel also comes with Type 22 Surface RADAR, Type 21 Air RADAR and Type 3 Depth Charge.
    • Isuzu's first remodel, at level 12, is a desirable modernization material (+5 AA stat) and comes with a Type 21 Air RADAR as bonus.
    • Yura, Kinu and Abukuma have above-average base ASW stats (48), making them a good choice for admirals who need more ASW ships besides Isuzu.
  • Sendai second remodel comes with a Searchlight, Star Shell and Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout), all of these are support equipment that will improve your fleet performance during night warfare.
  • Yuubari is the only Light Cruiser that gets a 4th equipment slot after remodel.
    • Her unremodeled version has low fuel consumption and high ammo consumption (20 fuel, 30 ammo), great for expeditions that don't consume ammo.
    • Her 4th slot is quite important for ASW, as ASW stats from equipment are worth 10x more than ASW stats from the ship's original stat. See combat mechanics page for more information on how ASW damage is calculated.
    • She's the most versatile Light Cruiser, even thou her stats are just average, making her a real "Jack of all trades". Keep in mind that she can't use Seaplanes to take advantage of Artillery Spotting in day battles.
  • Kitakami, Ooi and Kiso can be remodelled into Torpedo Cruisers, a special Light Cruiser type that has outstanding Torpedo stat and can attack before the first shelling phase if equipped with Type A Ko-hyoteki Midget Subs.
    • Kitakami and Ooi change type at level 10, making them the deadliest warships in-game quite early, they can one-shot most enemies before the shelling phase begins, but the 3rd equipment slot unlocks only after their second remodel, at level 50, limiting their equipment options at early levels.
    • Kiso changes type at level 65 and unlocks the 3rd equipment slot after the first remodel, at level 20. Her stats are more evenly distributed, making her Torpedo attacks less powerful than her sisters, but not less deadly.
• Light Cruisers that can equip Seaplanes can perform Artillery Spotting attacks during day battles. However due that they can only carry 3 equipments, it is unadvised for them to carry seaplanes especially in maps where submarines are present.
• Other highlighted girls have good stats and surpass some Heavy Cruisers in terms of firepower, making Light Cruisers one of the most versatile classes in the game.
