The reason why iam asking is, because it will be my first event and iam not sure what is more usefull.

Abukuma - hands down...in fact, why didn't you BP her sooner?

I will be clear, I don't always subscribe to the meta on things, BUT Abukuma has a lot of benefits going for her:

- She is a CL, but can equip a Midgit Sub; this is important as those things can hit like a freight train, and you can't always bring CLT's to the party. In this regard, she acts like a CLT, which can be VERY beneficial

- She can equip Daihatsu and Tanks, which are useful for fighting installation-type enemes and can help on TP-related maps

- Her stock equipment is a Daihatsu, which, as a thing provides bonuses on Expeditions and helps depleate TP-Guages on the maps where that's required.
