I think she is best described as an hybrid that isn't good at anything but can do it all.

A Daihatsu Landing Craft for a blueprint is a damn pathetic trade, comper her equipment to what you get from let's say Choukai, Unryuu-class or the Fusou sisters.

- She have worse torpedo than Kitakami and Ooi making her less usefull as a CLT

- Her firepower is not worth it to run with seaplane, making her less usefull than a shelling CL (Kuma, Jintsuu, Nagara)

- Her short range make it more likely that the enemy take her out before she even manged to fire during shelling

- Her AA stat is good but AACI isn't an option on CLs unless they have 4 slots.

- Good ASW, but Yuubari or Ooyodo are still better options.

Plus point are tho

+ She is cheaper to run than Akitsumaru

+ She doesn't count as an CLT making her more usefull in branching that hinder you from using them

+ She is will be a good support ship to use while lvling on 4-3 as she is cheaper to run than Kiso
