Technically speaking, Kinugasa along with Furutaka are good for the earlier phases of the event. Their lower consumption and above average status makes them ideal CAs to do the job while saving the big guns like Myoukou, Takao and Tone for later use.

I only came to appreciate Kinugasa after 2014 AL/MI. It was a desperate measure to send my reserve fleet to take on the bulk of AL, but her performance aren't shabby at all and she managed to plow her way through the initial part of the event. I was quite surprised how useful a CA like her can be in huge events such as AL/MI. Though she's not my favorite pick in CAs, I feel quite comfortable having her around as the pride of the reserve fleet.
