Kii — Japanese premium Tier VIII battleship.

This high-speed battleship was designed under the 1920 shipbuilding program. The ship was a further development of the Amagi-class battleship design. Compared with her predecessor, she had heavier armor protection. The Kii-class battleships were canceled as a result of the Washington Naval Treaty in 1922.

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Kii are as follows:

• Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1*
• Slot 2: Aiming Systems Modification 1*
• Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 1
• Slot 5: Damage Control System Modification 2
• Slot 6: Concealment System Modification 1*

Upgrade Slot 1 provides two viable options. The first is Main Armaments Modification 1, which increases the survivability and reduces repair time of the main armament. Players wishing to specialize in anti-aircraft (AA) duties should take the second option, Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1. This upgrade increases the survivability of AA and secondary battery mounts.

Upgrade Slot 2 provides options for specialization in certain roles. Aiming Systems Modification 1 is typically recommended for ship to ship combat. However, Kii possesses a formidable AA armament. Players wishing to specialize in AA should mount AA Guns Modification 2. This upgrade is most effective when the ship's commander is specialized with commander skills, including Basic Firing Training, Advanced Firing Training, and Manual Fire Control for AA Armament.

Upgrade Slot 6 provides two options. Concealment System Modification 1 reduces ship detectability and increases dispersion of enemy shells fired at the player's ship. This upgrade is useful because it provides Kii with more ability to disengage to repair sustained damage, especially when paired with the Concealment Expert commander skill. The second option is Target Acquisition System Modification 1. Players who enjoy brawling may find this upgrade useful, because it improves the acquisition range of ships and torpedoes. It also improves spotting range by 20%.

Commander Skills

Given that Kii has a distinctly un-Japanese AA battery for a battleship, it might well be worth investing in captain skills designed to take advantage of this. Otherwise, captains are encourage to pursue a cookie-cutter survivability based battleship, choosing skills to help Kii stay afloat longer. Both options are viable, and the decision between the two is mostly down to personal preference.

Consumables

As a sister to Amagi and of the same tier, Kii can equip the following consumables:

• Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
• Slot 2: Repair Party 
• Slot 3: Spotting Aircraft  or Catapult Fighter 

Spending credits or doubloons on Damage Control Party II () and Repair Party II () are recommended to maximize survivability.

Camouflage

As a premium ship, Kii comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, reduces her repair costs, and increases the amount of experience she earns.

Signals

As a Tier VIII premium battleship, Kii can mount eight signal flags simultaneously. India Yankee () and India Delta () flags are recommended to improve the ship’s survivability. November Foxtrot () is also recommended to decrease the cool down on the Repair Party  and Damage Control Party  consumables. Captains looking to further improve the ship’s anti-aircraft battery should mount November Echo Setteseven () flags. Lastly, economic and special signal flags can be mounted to further increase the ship’s experience and credit gain per battle.
