Funny how it is that such shit advice is blatantly given in front of me. Looks at @PunPunPunyama

Anyway, first thing first, unless you dont mind suffering AP on some nodes along the way, you should replace the FCF with a. If you want to use the FCF, dont use it on a carrier.

Regarding your escort setups, TCI are only viable for ships with high and are mostly not recommended for CLTs. One thing people tend to forget is that DA is reliable but less powerful, while TCI are powerful, but less reliable because of the luck factor. So in your case, has 40 base, so you might be able to get away with it, but if  or  have low luck, you should change to Main / Main / Wildcard and Main / Main /

Considering you're doing Hard, either switch to different combat DDs with higher luck if you want to maintain TCI on your escort fleet or really, dont do Hard at all. Hard is a difficulty not meant to be cleared that easily by anyone and the reward is barely different to Medium, so theres no shame really.

Now, to the reason as to why TCI is a bad idea on particularly either or.

If you understand how night battle damage works, assume that they all have a /  /  setup, that is 202 + 32 = 234 night battle firepower.

The DA multiplier is 1.2x, so 234 x 1.2 = 280.8

Considering an attack that has 99% proc rate, 280 damage per shot is basically already near night battle cap.

Now lets look at 's setup, which is /  /, thats 202 + 34 = 236.

The TCI multiplier is 1.5x, so 236 x 1.5 = 354. Because of the yasen cap, any damage beyond 300 gets sqrted, so the final amount is 307.

(KTKMs level / 20) + ( x 0.85) + 14 = 44.3%

Assume both and  triggers, thats thus 54.3% of triggering for a mere 27 damage increase. Considering how bad it is already for Kitakami, I obviously dont have tell you how even worse it is if you try to TCI with ships with even less

So really, think twice before you suggest questionable advice again.
