About Yukikaze: A ship girl appearing in "Fleet Collection," modeled after the Imperial Japanese Navy's 8th Kagero-class destroyer, "Yukikaze." Name: Yukikaze Library No: 5 Class: 8th Kagero-class Type: Destroyer CV: Saki Fujita Artist: Yoshinori Shizuma Personality: A cheerful girl with an innocent, small-animal-like cuteness. She calls the Admiral "Shiree!" (Commander) and takes pride in being an unsinkable lucky ship, possessing both high performance and self-confidence. Perhaps because of her confidence in her luck, she takes her role as a lucky ship very seriously, as seen in lines like "As long as Yukikaze is here, we won't sink." While her appearance, lisping speech, and visible bloomers might make her seem like a child, her reaction to the Admiral touching her—"Um, do you... have some business with Yukikaze?"—suggests by her tone that she is not entirely ignorant of such matters. Being a middle sister of the Kagero class isn't just for show. Appearance: She has the appearance of a young girl with a bright, toothy smile. Her behavior is basically innocent and straightforward, but the pride of having survived fierce battles occasionally shines through. Because of her teeth and the radar parts on both sides of her head that look like round ears, she is sometimes treated like a hamster or other small rodent (Hamukaze). The device on her head is a surveying instrument called a "rangefinder." Performance: Her basic stats are slightly inferior to Shimakaze (10 less torpedo power, though still at a high level comparable to Kai Ni ships), but her defining trait, "Luck," significantly affects the activation rate of cut-in attacks during night battles. With a luck stat of 60, it is reported to activate about 80% of the time. Consequently, by equipping torpedoes in the first and second slots, she can deal massive damage with cut-in attacks, making her expected damage output in night battles among the highest in the game. Her evasion is also naturally high, giving her top-tier survivability.
