Mutsuki heavily relies on her torpedoes, speed and concealment to deal damage to the enemy.
When playing against Battleships: Stay at long range and torpedo them, allowing you to stay undetected
When playing against Cruisers: Stay away from cruisers, as it is difficult to torpedo them due to their agility and your guns cannot deal sufficient damage.
Against destroyers: You can finish off low HP targets with your guns, but keep in mind it is difficult to torpedo other destroyers and your guns can only deal very limited damage to them.
In conclusion, this is a typical Japanese torpedo boat destroyer, which is in my opinion stronger than Minekaze and as good as Kamikaze. As compared to them, you sacrifice a gun, some speed, and have a slower torpedo reload in exchange for more damage on them. This ship is decent for its tier, and will be quite a casual grind for the next ship, Fubuki.
Japanese Destroyer Mutsuki the lead ship of her class in the Imperial Japanese Navy, designed as an improved Kamikaze class destroyer. She was commissioned and saw service in the late 1920s and 30s, and participated actively in the Sino-Japanese war. She served as a convoy escort in WWII, and was sunk on 25 August 1942 by enemy bombers.
