Azur Lane characters
July 8, 2024: We've added three new characters to our Azur Lane tier list.

Want to know the best ships in Azur Lane? Our updated Azur Lane tier list will be of help. This game features real historical ships with a twist, they are transformed into anime girls. The developers of Azur Lane, Shanghai Manjuu and Xiamen Yongshi, have added a huge number of characters since they released the game in 2017. Because of this, it might be pretty daunting to know who is the best from the vast roster of heroines.

Some might say that choosing the best ships for your team in Azur Lane is easier compared to other games since they are classified by nations and classes, but it might be confusing for some people. Ship classes also influence the power of said ships during battles. Additionally, Azur Lane characters have different rarities, making some of them more difficult to obtain compared to other ships, which is pretty normal in gacha games. Nevertheless, our Azur Lane tier list ranks the best ones out of the vast roster of heroines, we’ve also included several tips to acquire your desired ships in the game.

If you're looking for more round-ups of characters, we have an Arknights tier list, an AFK Arena tier list, a Mobile Legends tier list, an Epic Seven tier list, and many others.

To make things simpler, we've created an overall Azur Lane tier list of strong ships, and lists of the best ships for each of the game's four main nations. Most of these may be pretty rare, but as they represent the pinnacle of what the game has to offer, they are a good thing to aim for if you want to create the most powerful fleet possible.

How to get new ships in Azur Lane

Unlike other mobile gacha games, Azur Lane lets you build ships using cubes and coins. Additionally, you can get ships as rewards for completing campaign missions and stages.

Medals can also be exchanged for particular ships. Even though getting the top-tier units can be expensive, you can still put up a decent team without them.
