as ^ said (when did you come out?!), aiming to clear event on easy first before farming her. And for Akizuki it's worth or not, yes she will be great help for you when overwhelm by CV with light fleet (DD or CL), once you witnessed she can shoot 200+ bomber by herself and disable the CV's shelling (CVL mostly) you won't try to use other ship for it :3 Also, she have 10cm HA gun + AAFD in stock and you need considerate amount of screw to make this gun, and also Type 91/4 AAFD?

But as a DD, her hp and armor (a bit toughy) still vulnerable to enemy and may taiha easily; plus her night battle stat aren't good (low torpedo stat) and can be worse than most of DD/CL/CA (same tier as BB i think), so she can't use as normal DD for boss killing or running yasen (night battle) node. < I think this is why some people not fond of her.

Also you may refer to this, as you can see her API 1 (means the last one to perform AACI if have other ship in fleet capable of using AACI) with approx. 67% proc. chance and can shoot down fixed 7 aircraft for each slot (CMIIW :3) But don't fred if you don't have her, there's Maya for you with not only easy to get but have stronger AACI (a bit), after you remodel her to kai ni (Lv75) she can trigger good AACI also, and since she's CA of course she have more survival and better night attack power, made her a more viable choice in heavier map than those high evasion DD

But the most important thing is the Branching Rules  ~ nobody know what da heck dev. is thinking about and I think having Akizuki class as backup would better in case they forced us to use DD or CL (Isuzu k2? seems not strong idk...) only against heavy CV map, easily to owned by mere opening airstrike lol... (some example for notorious opening airstrike is hoppo from 3-5 north route, she can take out your 1 or 2 ship just by this if you really unlucky :3)

Again, better you only farm for her after you got extra resource and time after cleared the event, she's a drop afterall and sacrifice your rsc on her rather than getting the map reward seems risky... by the way even you can't get her (incase) this time but in future she'll appeared again i believe, but we won't know where she'll come out lol (LSC haha)

In conclusion, yes she is good to have but definitely not a MUST, she's same as other ship eg. Shoukaku K2 or Abukuma K2 that may be helpful but teitoku(s) without them can still play the game w/o any problem. Maybe you can read to my reply to someone else below here (similar i guess XD)  However maybe you should ask opinion from other (especially that dude if you know what i mean :3), I just share my experience but ofc not 100% true about everything....


 * Anyway thanks for choosing to ask in here and also reading my TLDR thingy Wish you have a good day~
