Azur Lane is a 2017 side-scrolling shooter made for Android and iOS users. In the game, you have to control chibi anime characters that represent powerful ships and cruisers and arrange your fleet in such a way that you can take down or rather sink your opponent easily.
But, with over 500 different ships to choose from, it’s a pretty tough decision to make the strongest fleet. This is where tier lists come into play. We have gathered all these ships and arranged them in this Azur Lane tier list according to the current meta, ranging from S+(the best of the lot) to F (the worst). All you have to do is go through this article to find the perfect fleet for your gameplay.
