Very few Japanese ships actually survived the war. Yukikaze was one of them, later seeing service with the Republic of China (Taiwan) until she was scrapped in 1970. During her career with the IJN she was often considered a lucky or unsinkable ship because she was present in many battles that ended rather poorly for the IJN, but always survived with none to minimal damage. That is the reason behind her skills. Here's a list of battles in which she featured and who didn't survive them: Battle of Java Sea 27-28 February 1942 Japanese victory. Multiple allied cruisers and destroyers lost (mainly to long range torpedo strikes) for minimal to moderate damage to some IJN vessels. Yukikaze remains unscathed. Battle of Midway and Aleutians 3-7 June 1942 US victory. Japanese "Kido Butai" (Akagi/Kaga + Soryuu/Hiryuu) fleet carrier force and cruiser MIkuma are lost in exchange for carrier USS Yorktown. Due to aerial nature of the battle and grand scale of the entire fleet present, most surface ships remain unengaged. Yukikaze remains unscathed. Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands 26 October 1942 Costly US victory. Multiple ships damaged/sunk on both sides, most notably the sinking of carrier USS Hornet. Yukikaze remains unscathed. First Battle of Guadalcanal 13 November 1942 US victory. The USN loses two cruisers and multiple destroyers (including USS Laffey), IJN loses battlecruiser Hiei and two destroyers. Yukikaze remains unscathed. Battle of Bismarck Sea 2-4 March 1943 US victory. IJA troop ships being escorted by IJN destroyers are attacked and destroyed by USAAF planes. In exchange for 6 planes (thirteen dead) all 8 troop ships (transporting ~6000 IJA soldiers) and 4/8 escorting destroyers are sunk. Yukikaze remains unscathed. Battle of Kolombangara 15 July 1943 Costly Japanese victory. IJN cruiser Jintsuu is sunk in exchange for heavy damage to three allied cruisers. Yukikaze remains unscathed. Battle of the Phillipine Sea 19-20 June 1944 US victory. IJN loses three more fleet carriers (Taihou, Shoukaku, Hiyou) as well as two oilers (and hundreds of aircraft) in exchange for negligible damage to one US battleship. Yukikaze remains unscathed. Palawan Passage 23 October 1944 US victory. IJN cruisers Atago and Maya are sunk and Takao is damaged by two US submarines. One of the submarines runs aground and is abandoned. Yukikaze remains unscathed. Battle of Sibuyan Sea 24 October 1944 US victory. IJN super-battleship Musashi is sunk, Yamato is damaged. Battleship Nagato and cruiser Myoukou are considerably damaged. CVL USS Princeton is severely damaged and abandoned. Yukikaze remains unscathed. Battle off Samar 25 October 1944 US victory. IJN fleet centered around 4 battleships (including Yamato) is turned away by significantly smaller force of escort carriers, destroyers and destroyer escorts. Three IJN CAs are severely damaged and scuttled three more and a destroyer are heavily damaged but survive. USN loses multiple vessels and yet more are damaged. Yukikaze remains unscathed. Escorting Shinano 29 November 1944 US victory. Carrier Shinano, a conversion of the third super-battleship of the Yamato class (being escorted by three destroyers) was attacked and sunk by US submarine. Yukikaze remains unscathed. Operation TEN-GO 7 April 1945 US victory. IJN force consists of 1 super-battleship (Yamato), 1 light cruiser and 8 destroyers. IJN losses consist of 1 super-battleship, 1 light cruiser and 4 destroyers in exchange for 10 US aircraft. Yukikaze remains unscathed (not quite, three men are killed, minimal damage). Carrier Raids on the Home Islands 24 - 28 July 1945 US victory. In exchange for ~130 US aircraft. 1 IJN fleet carrier, multiple battleships, various cruisers and destroyers and a multitude of smaller vessels are sunk. Yukikaze remains unscathed (probably, Situtation unclear, but definitely no severe damage).

There could possibly be a future guide when I decide to make a "cost-efficient fleets" video. Yukikaze is in the permanent light pool, so it's only a matter of time until you pull her. Good luck!

[@atzorui]

you should do a tashkent guide

[@epiccamper]

Tbh I always use maximum damage build in PvP because with Noshiro, Yukikaze is less likely to die. Also since I have 5,2k warspite retro, one can guess that I rarely loose an exercise, I mean that ship literally delets the enemy CV with a 9k critical... Also, could you do a guide on Suruga anytime soon? I have her just for collection but I'd like to start using her more in battle.

[@ItsAnderYT]

I can do Suruga. I have her leveled up pretty high (at 116) so that can definitely happen for a future video.

Sounds totally fine. Of course, there are better torpedo options out there (like obviously Noshiro, Jintsuu, Aya, etc.) but they will definitely be able to get the job done as long as you aren't doing W13.

I always go for MemeKaze Build, double oxy for the win and i am trying to find ways to have her deal massive damage. For now i use Helena to add up damage to her BUT tell me..Would Helena and Jintsuu add up enough damage to Yukikaze and compete with High DPS Destroyers like Ayanami? (Note~ I dont have Jintsuu yet)

[@ItsAnderYT]

You could definitely rival Ayanami with that much torpedo support. But with that much effort put in, why don't you just get the Torpedo Queen herself, Ayanami?

[@ItsAnderYT]

@@bigbrainchica5473 yeah it's a meme, please don't actually do that lol

[@VerkoAviarhidea]

Danny Laxamana flat increases on high stats won't do much but percentage increases like smokescreens are much more effective. Indeed this is a meme strategy but since smokescreen does apply after gear stats have been added, it just makes it more effective as a meme fleet. This probably won't be viable too much at higher stages but it's still fun to stand still at the daily mission with the torps and take literally no damage.
