Yams are pretty nice. wrote:

1. DDs. You are really lacking in this area. You only have a few easy-event-ready DDs. You should aim to get at least a total of 12 DDs at Level 50. This is the bare minimum, and I would recommend Kai-2 for Yuudachi and Ushio since they have relatively low levels for their Kai-2.

12 DDs is overkill for easy mode. You won't sortie more than 7 DDs at a time (Transport Combined) so there is no need to have 5 back-up DDs lying around while not dealing with ship locking. 7-8 DDs at proper level or K2 are enough if the TO plans to go easy from the beginning. More than that is just overkill and he/she could spend that time much better by leveling more important girls.

Also I wouldn't recommend to level Ushio but rather go for Shigure instead. Shigure has the same remodel level and can fill in the gap of a missing high-luck night cut-in DD. The starting difference between level 10 and 22 is not that high considering how few xp you need at those levels to advance.
