Azur Lane Ships are all fun to play as, but some are more effective than others in battle. To find out which characters are most effective this month, check out our Azur Lane tier list.

Azur Lane is a popular mobile game where the player controls one of the game’s fighters, known as Ships, and pits them against other players in battle. However, not all Ships are considered equal and some are clearly more powerful than others.

Of course, as with most games, the Azur Lane tier list is likely to change as the developers continuously update the game, but our current rankings are up to date as of October 2022. Here’s who’s at the top of the pile this month.
