Player Opinion


Pros:

  • Much improved main battery guns over Hatsuharu.
  • HE shells have good damage and good fire chance.
  • Strong torpedo armament: two quadruple-tube launchers.
  • Torpedos have high damage and reasonable speed that allows players to get more damage and torpedo hits.
  • Can equip the powerful Torpedo Reload BoosterLegends_TRB.pngconsumable.
  • Excellent concealment that allows her to get really close to enemy ships and launch torpedos with high hit rates.
  • Overall, plays more like a Tier VI version of Kagero with one less gun and easier matchmaking.



Cons:

  • Small HP pool; will not last long in a gunfight against rapid firing gun ships.
  • Main battery traverse time is painfully slow. Situationally useful, but not really those of a "gunboat".
  • Main battery range is not as good as other destroyers at her tier.
  • When using Torpedo Reload Booster she is extremely vulnerable to planes and rapid firing ships when detected.
  • Anti-aircraft suite is terrible, in fact even worse than Hatsuharu's.
  • Very low top speed at 34 knots.


Performance

Changes

Chilling with the Beasts
