Azur Lane is a side-scrolling shoot ‘em up for iOS and Android that has hundreds of ships of different rarities for you to obtain and use in battle. Creating a strong fleet to take to the seas can be a daunting task, so here we are to lend you a helping hand.
Our Azur Lane tier list ranks the best ultra and super rare ships while also providing instructions on how to reroll if you receive some characters that you’re not happy with. We will add ships of a lower rarity at a later date, as they can also be viable choices if you’re struggling to roll for something amazing.
