K2D can equip Daihatsu and Ka-Mi (not Tankatsu, unfortunately). At this point, I think her utility form is more valuable than her combat form.

For pewpew we already have 7 DDs with 60+ FP (+4 with 59+ FP), not counting Asashio. Although her K2 boasts the third highest FP and fourth highest torpedo (same as Kasumi K2).

If you take NB potential into account, Asashio K2D has 138, between Shigure K2 with 143 and Hatsushimo K2 with 137. Yes, I know that Shigure and Hatsushimo are NBCI DDs, while Asashio is not. Asashio K2 has 160, which puts her in second place, right below the almighty Poi (Shimakaze falls from second to fourth place, with Ayanami taking third).

If you want yet another pewpew DD, go K2 (3rd best FP, 4th best torp, 2nd best NB). If you need another Daihatsu carrier, go K2D.
