Is Shoukaku good?
Shoukaku's kit is built around pairing with 
Zuikaku, whose joint skill boosts both carriers' air power, though Shoukaku takes more damage as Zuikaku's own damage drops. After launching a strike she buffs the fleet's damage and cuts their damage taken, which makes her a strong support pick on tougher stages, especially if another ship's attack lands right after her strike.
Pairs well with: Zuikaku.
Strengths
- Strong post-strike buff to fleet damage and survivability
- Joint skill with Zuikaku boosts air power
Weaknesses
- Takes more damage as Zuikaku's own damage falls while paired
Profile
Shoukaku is voiced by Taneda Risa in Japanese.
Background
I'm Shoukaku, flagship of the 5th Carrier Division. About my seniors from the 1st Carrier Division? How about, 'I'll do my best to live up to my seniors'? Hehe, that one was on purpose, you know. Since my seniors were gone before me, I ended up in charge of the core of the air group. I worked harder than my sister and my seniors, but somehow I got a reputation for being weak anyway. Once again, I'm Shoukaku, the Sakura Empire fleet's 'designated victim.' Nice to meet you. Hehe.
