Abukuma Kai Ni should have same setup as Kiso and Ooi Kai Ni pretty much. 2 Guns (preferably either OTO 152mm triple seconary gun or 15.5cm Triple Yellow Guns) + Type A Ko-Hyoteki.

She is viable to be like Kitakami by having 2 Torpedo + Type A Ko-Hyoteki but this is only after you feed her maruyu and have her luck become higher, otherwise it's too unstable for a proper night cut-in trigger unless maybe in flagship position.
