I don't understand why people like to focus Choukai straight away for CA. That's a Blueprint in which you could use somewhere else where it can bring better impact than Choukai who is litterally just one Firepower higher than Haguro.. I'll give my reason at the end as to why I'm really against using Blueprint on Choukai first before any other BP required ships.

Anyways, my opinions aside. Like Asylvanus mentioned. Maya and Haguro are great CAs that you should be currently aimming for.

Maya should always be anyone's first CA to get to Kai 2 as soon as possible, not only is she the strongest in Anti-Air fire (including Anti-Air Cut-In and yes, even better than Akizuki class) she also has decent enough stats to be used as a surface combat ship.

Following Maya can be any one from Myouko class.

Myoukou class is pretty much the best class of Heavy Cruisers we currently have, the best out of the four being either Myoukou or Haguro.

Haguro has the highest Firepower of the four while Myoukou has the best all round stat as well as decent luck that allows her to perform Night Battle Cut-In against high value targets ''(Basically bosses). ''

Which one to go for first is completely up to you as they both are great.

Now to the reason behind why you should not go for Choukai before other higher value BP ships is this.

Choukai only brings one extra Firepower over Haguro.... Really that's it. And the surface radar she brings isn't going to make a drastic improvement to your fleet.

And Choukai requires a Blueprint, something that is not easy to come across. Other high value BP ships should be given priority over Choukai first, ships such as Shoukaku sisters, Fusou sisters, Tone Sisters or Abukuma. Unless they all have already recieved a Blueprint, (Which they have not from looking at your list.) only then can choukai be considered as a ship that you can go for.

Anyways, in the end, what you choose is completely up to you. However I do hope you don't give your first Blueprint to Choukai, it would help you much more to use your Blueprints in places that would bring you better impact over Choukai's one extra Firepower.

Good luck to you and don't stress, you still have plenty of time even after the event starts to do last minute preperations.
