Azur Lane brings four new shipgirls in the Welcome to Little Academy event

Yostar has just rolled out an exciting new update for Azur Lane, bringing a wave of fresh content to this beloved naval shoot-em-up game on Android and iOS. The update introduces the Welcome to Little Academy event, spotlighting two Super Rare and two Elite shipgirls. Along with these new additions, players can now enjoy several new skins, alongside some classic ones returning to the shop.

The Welcome to Little Academy event will be live until July 10th, featuring four new shipgirls from the Iron Blood faction. Players can dive into various event stages to earn PT, which can be used to recruit one of the new Elite shipgirls. Additionally, by collecting Colourful Doodles, you can secure extra rewards such as the 533mm Improved Quadruple Magnetic Torpedo Mount. Completing the event story will also grant you the Stony Slowly-Cat gear skin.

This event is a must-attend, especially with the introduction of two Super Rare shipgirls, Alvitr and Z47, who will have an increased drop rate in the Limited Construction Pool, joined by the Elite shipgirl, U-31. The second Elite character, Z43, is available as a milestone reward upon accumulating enough PT.
