AL Tier List V2.0 (Nepnep Ver.)

Kopfjäger's opinionated & extra-biased tier list

Ships are compared to others in their own CLASS for tiering purposes,
Ships are tiered under IDEAL conditions pertaining to their own respective skills.
Ships in a tier are listed from BEST TO WORST within the tier.
All skill values mentioned are at MAX level.
Resetscumming is not taken into consideration.
Auto performance is NOT taken into consideration. (AI is dumb, deal with it.)

Tier Explanations:
Tier 0  	   : Fucking Broken. Meta-defining
Tier 1  	   : Best of the Best, use if available, ASAP
Tier 1.5	   : Nearly as good as the best, but has flaws compared to the best
Tier 2  	   : Good and perfectly usable, especially if waifu
Honorable Mentions : Ships with specific niche uses they excel at
Overrated	   : Ships that are rated highly elsewhere despite actually lacking the performance to justify said rating
Free Medals	   : Ships that are best smelted for medals on sight

Retrofit/Kai Priority List:

Jintsuu = Portland > Leander > Ayanami > Ajax = Achilles = Abukuma = Yamashiro = Shouhou = Javelin > Everyone else.


DD (Destroyer, blue torpedo icon)

Tier 1:
- IJN Ayanami Kai
Skill: 5% chance on firing main gun to boost Torpedo by 60% for 8s; 70% chance every 20s to fire a special barrage and boost Evasion stat by 30% for 5s
CN: Collection reward for 15* total among the 3 starters, buildable afterwards
JP: Starter choice, drops pretty much everywhere
The current torpedo queen of the game. She lives and dies by her torps. With her skill procced, Ayanami easily causes utterly OBSCENE damage with her torpedoes.

- Poi (IJN Yuudachi)
Skill: 6% chance on firing main gun to boost Firepower, Torpedo, RoF, and Evasion by 40% for 8s
Drop-only, 6-4 Boss node
Poi was the best of the best for a simple reason. Superior stat spread compared with an all-rounder skill that pretty much boosts EVERYTHING worth boosting on a DD. The general strat is to gear her with a super-fast DD gun to proc her skill as often as possible, though using a slower but harder hitting gun also works to make use of the firepower boost.

- KMS Z46
Skill: 15% chance on firing AA gun to boost AA by 50%; increases AP damage by 25%
Limited crafting at KMS event
Z46 is an all-round decent DD, not really standing out, but perfectly serviceable overall. Best used with her sisters. Of note is that her AP-damage boost also affects her EXCELLENT special shot, which is AP. Probably the best DD for Autoplay.

- IJN Kagerou
Skill: 15% boost of torpedo stat to every DD in the fleet; 30% chance to launch a second salvo on torpedo launch
Drop-only, Relatively common drop at later maps
A relatively common ship that packs a LOT of punch. Combines high torpedo stat with double-torplaunch proc and a fleetwide torpedo boost.


Tier 1.5:
- KMS Z23
Skill: 5% chance on firing main gun to boost Firepower by 60% for 8s
CN: Starter choice, drops pretty much everywhere
JP: Collection reward for 15* total among the 3 starters, buildable afterwards
Z23 is special in one way: She is basically a CL masquerading as a DD. Capable of mounting a CL main gun, she actually has pretty poor torpedo stat, and relies more on her gun to do damage.

- HDN White Heart
Skill: Every main gun shot increases torpedo critical chance by 1.5%, can stack up to 20x; 40% chance every 20s to launch a special barrage
HDN Collab event craft
Great synergy with some of the best DD-supporting ships in the game and reasonable stats nets her her ranking.

- IJN Kuroshio/Oyashio
Skill: 30% chance to launch a second salvo on Torpedo launch; every 20s, 60% chance to boost Firepower by 40%
CN: Does not exist yet
JP: Mikasa limited construction
Kagerou's sisters with practically identical stats and the same double-launch skill. The firepower skill is less relevant though.


Tier 2:
- KMS Z1 (Tier 1.5 if running full Z-series setup)
Skill: Increases Firepower and Evasion of Z-series ships by 40%
Craftable
Z1's main use is for running the Z-class destroyer trio, where she provides a MASSIVE boost to her sisters. She herself is a pretty normal torpedo-focused DD statwise.

- USS Gridley
Skill: 15% boost of torpedo stat to every DD in the fleet; 30% chance to launch a second salvo on torpedo launch
Craftable and Farmable
Identical skillset to Kagerou, worse stats

- USS Maury
Skill: 40% chance every 10s to raise evasion by 60% for 8s; 30% chance to launch a second salvo on torpedo launch
Collection reward
Another DD with double-launch skill, always useful to have.

- USS Laffey
Skill: 6% chance on firing main gun to boost Firepower, Torpedo, RoF, and Evasion by 40% for 8s
Starter Choice, drops pretty much everywhere
Same skill as Poi, worse stats everywhere.

- HMS Javelin Kai
Skill: 5% chance on firing main gun to boost Evasion by 60% for 8s; 70% chance every 20s to fire a special barrage and boost torpedo stat by 30% for 5s
Starter Choice, drops pretty much everywhere
The recent retrofit finally allowed Javelin to enter the tier list. Her main selling point is mostly the double special barrage and her high evade.

- IJN Tanikazi Kai
Skill: When only escort ship alive, increase own evasion by 10% and reduce damage taken from airstrike to self by 50%; When her torpedo hits an enemy, 17% chance to make said enemy take 40% more damage from all torpedoes for 8s.
Craftable
Amazing Torpedo stat and efficiency, but sub-par skills. Better skillset than Hamakaze at least.

- IJN Hamakaze Kai
Skill: When an ally ship is sunk, 60% chance to heal self for 8% HP and heal all other surviving allied ships for 3% HP; Every 20s, 30% chance to evade all attacks for 6s
Mikasa limited craft
Amazing Torpedo stat and efficiency, but sub-par skills. Still pretty usable, just not amazing.

- IJN Shigure
Skill: 5% chance on firing main gun to boost Evasion by 60% for 8s
Drop-only, earliest at 4-2
Excellent stats, lackluster skill, still pretty good to use overall


Honorable Mention:
- IJN Shiranui
Skill: 30% chance to launch a second salvo on torpedo launch
Farmable
One of the top DD choices for a 0LB min-cost farm fleet due to her high torpedo stat, low fuel usage, and chain torpedo skill.

- USS Fletcher
Skill: Increases Firepower of all Fletcher-Class in fleet by 30%; Increases Firepower, Torpedo, and Reload of DDs in the fleet by 10%
Craftable and farmable
Paired with 2 other Fletcher-class ships (any 2), excellent for 0LB farming purposes.


Overrated:
- USS Eldridge
Skill: Upon taking damage, 15% chance to make entire escort fleet to evade all attacks for 10s
PVP Shop only
Often overrated because her skill IS pretty broken in low to midgame PvP matches. Lategame her utterly low HP just causes her to die way too fast to be of use.



CL (Light Cruiser, Yellow gun icon)

Tier 0:
- IJN Jintsuu Kai
Skill: -20% Damage taken to self, +10% Torpedo Critical chance and +30% Torpedo Critical Damage to all DD/CL in Fleet; +20% Reload and Torpedo to all DD/CL in Fleet
Drop only, 10-4 boss node.
Jintsuu offers extreme flexibility with her combination of decent durability, great supporting skills, and overwhelming Torpedo power (highest Torpedo stat among CLs AND highest Torpedo Efficiency in the game). Probably the only issue is the difficulty in getting her (since it requires reaching and farming stage 10-4).


Tier 1:
- USS Cleveland
Skill: 15% chance every 20s to boost Firepower fleetwide by 25%; 25% chance on firing AA guns to boost AA by 40% and reduce Firepower by 20% for 3s
Craftable, also farmable
Cleveland is an oddball. She takes the "Best CL" throne by virtue of her stats alone since her skills are mostly poor and unreliable. What Cleveland DOES offer, is a very solid combination of HP and Evasion that lets her out-tank the vast majority of CAs in the game, paired with her decent Firepower and the fact that she's a gunboat do to good DPS at the same time.

- HMS Belfast
Skill: Increase HE damage by 25% and chance to ignite fire by 3%; 10s after battle starts and 20% chance at every 20s thereafter, create a smokescreen that lasts 10s. Smokescreen provides 35% evasion and 35% reduced damage taken from airstrikes
Craftable
Belfast is an HE-specialist who provides good damage and packs a punch with her torpedoes. Her main selling point is her smokescreen, which is amazing for reducing damage taken in PvE and in cutting down airstrike damage in PVP.

- HMS Edinburgh
Skill: Increase AP damage by 25%
Craftable
Edinburgh is in a similar situation as Cleveland. While her skill is arguably MORE relevant, she is placed here mostly based on her stat. She trades some offense for even MORE tankiness compared to Cleveland, and is indisputably the tankiest CL in the game. Very powerful in an all HMS setup.

- HMS Leander Kai
Skill: Increases Firepower of Cruisers (both CL and CA) in the fleet by 15%; At battle start and 20% chance at every 20s thereafter, create a smokescreen that lasts 5s. Smokescreen provides 40% evasion
Craftable, common drop
Arguably the best support-DPS CL in the game. Leander offers extremely solid stats despite her low rarity, paired with two useful skills. As a bonus, she is also a HMS ship, ideal for usage in an all-HMS setup.


Tier 1.5:
- HMS Ajax Kai/HMS Achilles Kai
Skill: 60% chance every 20s to boost Firepower by 40% for 10s; increases damage dealt to CAs by 25%
Craftable, common drop
Ajax/Achilles is a brutal offensive machine, but is put down by their relatively poor defenses.

- USS Phoenix
Skill: Once per battle, when HP falls under 20%, heals 25% HP and increases firepower by 30% for 15s
Craftable and farmable
Phoenix's claim to fame is her skill, which makes her a monster in PvE clear fleets and powerful in PvP both.

- KMS Leipzig
Skill: Increases Firepower, Torpedo, and Reload of Cruisers (both CL and CA) in the fleet by 10%
Collection Reward
Leipzig is a solid buff-provider, but is put down by her own somewhat lacking stats. Best used in an all-KMS lineup for maximum impact.

- USS Helena
Skill: 60% chance every 20s to make all enemies take 40% more damage for 10s
Craftable, also farmable
Helena's stats are decent, but her main selling point is her skill, which while amazing when it procs, is hard to time well because it affects ONLY enemies that are on-screen when it procs, IF it procs. This makes her a bit RNG-reliant.

- USS St. Louis
Skill: 60% chance every 20s to boost her own Firepower, Reload, and Evasion by 30% for 8s; 25% chance on firing AA guns to boost AA by 40% and reduce Firepower by 20% for 3s
Drop only, 10-3 stage all nodes
In simple terms, a more selfish Helena with superior AA capabilities. Stats are identical to Helena.

- IJN Abukuma Kai
Skill: 15% boost of torpedo stat to every DD in the fleet; 30% chance to launch a second salvo on torpedo launch
Droppable in several past events and world 8 onwards
Abukuma is a DD-support CL. Her own torpedo stat is high, and she is mostly there as a tankier alternative to Kagerou in a DD-heavy composition

- HDN Purple Heart
Skill: Every 6 main gun shots, the next shot will be a Critical hit; 115s after battle starts, fires a special powerful barrage; 40% chance every 20s to fire a special barrage
HDN Collab event craft
Ignore the semi-useless 115s skill, Purple Heart's other skills are decent, and her statline also makes her perfectly serviceable.


Tier 2:
- USS Brooklyn
Skill: Increases Firepower of Cruisers (both CL and CA) in the fleet by 15%
Craftable and farmable
A worse Leander Kai, has the benefit of being a gunboat, but inferior statwise and lacks additional benefits.

- HDN Neptune
Skill: If in fleet with any other HDN ship, increases own damage by 10% and decreases damage taken by 6%, also increases own damage by 2% and decreases damage taken by 1% for every HDN ship in fleet except herself.
HDN Collab event reward
Demands fellow HDN ships in use to show her best, but reasonable stats allow her to be used on her own as well.

- KMS Karslruhe Kai
Skill: 60% chance every 20s to boost Firepower by 40% for 10s; Damage increased by 25% against Suicide boats, Torpedo Boats, and Transport ships
Craftable and Farmable
Lackluster skills, but workable stats.


Honorable Mention:
- USS Juneau
Skill: When sunk, heals all other ships in fleet for 25% HP
Craftable and Farmable
Has a niche use in PvP trollish defense fleets


Free Medals:
- USS San Diego
Skill: doesn't matter
You'll see WAY more of her than you ever want
Best use: Scrap for 10 medals. Seriously. San Diego has insane AA stat and multiplier... and nothing else to offer.


CA (Heavy Cruiser, Yellow gun icon with a +)

Tier 1:
- USS Portland Kai
Skill: When together with Indianapolis, Increase Firepower, AA, and Reload by 15%; 15% chance every 20s to reduce damage taken by 15% for 8s
Common craftable and drop
Portland is much like Cleveland. She's Tier 1 solely based on her statline and gunboat status, with her skills being merely icing on the cake. As it is, Portland combines heavy DPS and great tankiness all in one very common and yet solid siscon package.


Tier 1.5:
- IJN Takao
Skill: 30% chance to do double damage when firing main gun; 30% chance to launch a second salvo on torpedo launch
Craftable
Takao is a tad on the RNG side. Her skills are what makes her as good as she is, but they're not exactly the most reliable. Still, they are powerful and thus worth respect.

- IJN Maya
Skill: Increases Reload by 25% and 30% chance to launch a second salvo on torpedo launch
Drop-only, 8-4 Boss node
Maya trades Takao's double damage chance for a permanent passive reload boost, combined with her very high torpedo efficiency, this makes her a hilariously powerful torpedo-CA while still packing good non-torpedo firepower.

- KMS Deutschland
Skill: Increases damage dealt to DD and CL by 35%
KMS Event drop
Deutschland boasts the highest firepower among ALL CAs in the game, and her bully of a skill makes her a superb member of a PVE clear fleet, while also being a great piece of an all-KMS PvP fleet.

- KMS Admiral Graf Spee
Skill: Increases damage dealt to DD and CL by 35%
CN: Graf Spee Event Reward/Drop/Construction
JP: Does not exist yet
Like her sister, Graf Spee boasts the highest firepower among ALL CAs in the game, and her bully of a skill makes her a superb member of a PVE clear fleet, while also being a great piece of an all-KMS PvP fleet.

- USS Wichita
Skill: Increases Firepower of Cruisers (both CL and CA) in the fleet by 15%; 25% chance when firing main guns to fire another salvo
Collection Reward
Wichita is bar none, THE heaviest frontline DPS in the entire game. Why she's tier 1.5 you ask? Because she's simultaneously made out of wet single-ply toilet paper.


Tier 2:
- KMS Admiral Hipper
Skill: Every 30s, spawns 2 shields that last 15s and blocks 10 shots; 8% chance to reduce any damage taken by 50% on taking damage
KMS Event craft/drop
Arguably the best "tank" type CA in the game atm, with a great balance between offense and defense.

- USS Indianapolis
Skill: Every 30s, spawns 2 shields that blocks 8 shots; 8% chance to reduce any damage taken by 50% on taking damage
Day 2 Login
The "tank" gunboat, often used together with Portland to buff her onee-chan.

- IJN Atago
Skill: Increases HE burn chance by 8% and burn damage by 50%; 30% chance to launch a second salvo on torpedo launch
CN: Craftable
JP: PoW event crafting
Worse than her sisters, but still pretty solid overall. The recent addition of a GOOD CA-use HE gun makes her solidly tier 2 for the time being.

- KMS Prinz Eugen
Skill: 70% chance every 20s to spawn 3 shields that lasts 10s and blocks 10 shots
Day 8 Login
The tankiest CA in the game due to her absurd health pool. Poor offense brings her rating down however.

- HDN Black Heart
Skill: Main Gun damage ignores enemy armor type, also Increases main gun damage by 15%; 40% chance every 20s to fire a special barrage
HDN Collab event craft
Reasonable stats with decent skills, but arguably still far from the best around.

- HMS London
Skill: Increases escort fleet firepower by 15%
Craftable and farmable
A decent support-DPS CA brought down by her relative fragility

- HMS Exeter Kai
Skill: 15% chance every 20s to reduce damage taken by 15% for 8s; 60% chance every 20s to boost Firepower by 40% for 10s; increases damage dealt to CAs by 25%
Craftable and farmable
A mixed bag of a skillset, but the Kai bonuses at least make her somewhat decent.

- HMS Suffolk Kai
Skill: 25% chance when firing main guns to fire another salvo; 60% chance every 20s to increase Firepower by 40% for 10s
Common craftable and drop
Superb offense, but fragile. Also not a gunboat which makes her double-shot skill half as good as Wichita's.


BB/BC (Battleship/Battlecruiser, Red gun icon)

Tier 0:
- KMS Tirpitz
Skill: 30% damage increase when Tirpitz is the only BB/BC in the fleet; Every 15s, launches 4 Magnetic Torpedoes
KMS event point shop and drop
THE Hardest-hitting, toughest ship in the game. Pair her with CV/CVLs only because her damage increase is the main reason for her power. Tirpitz just brute forces everything to submission with ease.

- HMS Hood
Skill: 70% chance on firing main gun to fire a special salvo and increase main fleet reload by 40% for 8s
Craftable
Hood lives and dies by her skill. Her skill is plain ridiculous, and easily wipes the map clean from enemies when it procs. For this reason, all Hood setups emphasize speed for more procs per fight.


Tier 1:
- HMS Prince of Wales
Skill: For every USS ship in the fleet, increase her own Firepower, AA, Reload, and Evasion by 5%
CN: Craftable
JP: PoW Event drop and craft
Demands a specific fleet composition, but the boost she gets from it is pretty broken, totaling to 25% to each of the boosted stats.

- HMS Warspite
Skill: Every 15s, fires a 2-bullet salvo at the furthermost target. This salvo will automatically crit
Craftable
Warspite mostly gains her spot by combining solid stats with an overall good skill.

- USS Washington
Skill: Every 20s, 70% chance to fire a special barrage; When South Dakota falls under 30% HP, makes South Dakota unkillable for 5s, increases damage done by 20%, and absorbs 30% damage done to South Dakota for the rest of the Fight. This Skill only procs once per battle.
CN: USS Event Craftable
JP: Does Not Exist yet
A Solid BB that offers a semi-independent barrage, works just fine even if South Dakota is ignored.

- HMS Queen Elizabeth (Tier 0 in an all-HMS fleet)
Skill: Increases Firepower, Torpedo, Air Power, AA, Reload, and Evasion of HMS ships by 15%
Craftable and farmable
Another ship that deserves her spot mostly for her skill. QE is the core of an all-HMS lineup and the reason it's so powerful.


Tier 1.5:
- IJN Yamashiro (Kai) (Tier 1.5 at 90% Kai, Tier 2 at 100% Kai)
Skill: Increases Firepower by 20%; (Launches more seaplanes on first airstrike)
Droppable
Yamashiro has 2 approaches. Either leave her at the last node before Kai to have a super-high firepower BB, or Kai her to trade some firepower for extra bulletclearing airstrikes.

- IJN Hyuuga
Skill: Increases Firepower by 20%; Increases main fleet Firepower by 15%
ZKK/SKK event craft
A high-firepower BB who also boosts other BBs in the fleet with more firepower.

- USS North Carolina
Skill: While alive, reduces airstrike damage to main fleet by 15%; While together with South Dakota, increases own Firepower by 20% and South Dakota's Firepower by 10%.
CN: USS Event drop/gacha
JP: Does not Exist yet
Another semi-solid USS BB that is somewhat hampered by the need to be partnered with South Dakota.

- KMS Gneisenau
Skill: Increases Firepower by 25%; Every 20s launches 3 torpedoes
KMS event drop
Discount Tirpitz

- KMS Scharnhorst
Skill: Every 15s, fires a 3-bullet salvo at a random target. This salvo will automatically crit; Every 20s launches 3 torpedoes
KMS event reward/drop
Discount Warspite


Tier 2:
- USS Arizona
Skill: 50% chance on firing main gun to heal escort fleet for 10% HP
Craftable and farmable
Generally used for extra endurance in PvE clear fleets. Great synergy with Phoenix and other healers.

IJN Mikasa
Skill: 12% Chance to reduce damage taken by 50%, When sortied as flagship, increases allied IJN ship Firepower and Reload by 20%; 60% chance when firing main gun to increase damage done by allied BB and BC by 20% for 8s.
Mikasa Event Craft
A reasonably good DPS/Support BB, but hampered by the fact that she needs the flagship slot while having poor HP.

- USS South Dakota
Skill: Every 30s, absorb 50% damage taken by main fleet for 8s, then heal for 50% of the damage taken during that time; 30% chance to do double damage when firing main gun
PVP point shop only
Two major reasons why South Dakota is rather underwhelming: 1. while the same skill is great on a CA like Takao, BBs fire too slowly for the very RNG-y 30% proc chance to work well. 2. The defensive skill is too little, too late, and only affects main fleet to boot. The Recent indirect buffs from North Carolina and Washington does help her though.


Honorable Mention:
- HMS Terror & Erebus
Skill: Every 20s, 60% chance to fire a special barrage
Craftable
Weak stats, but great for low-cost farming fleets.


CV/CVL (Fleet Aircraft Carrier/Light Aircraft Carrier, Purple plane icon)

Tier 0:
- IJN Akagi & IJN Kaga (Tier 1 if not paired)
Skill: First Airstrike launches 50% faster; When paired, increase Air Power by 35%
Drop-only, 3-4 Boss node
So good they're what defined the PvP meta even until now. Their main feature is their obscene air power (when paired) coupled with the early launch for brutal damage at high speeds.


Tier 1:
- USS Enterprise
Skill: 70% chance on Airstrike to do double damage and evade all attacks for 8s
Craftable
The best solo CV in the game, her skill is as overpowered as it gets. The only reason she loses to the Akagi/Kaga pair is because they would wipe her out before she gets to launch most of the time.


Tier 1.5:
- KMS Graf Zeppelin
Skill: 30% increase in efficiency for equipped German planes; All KMS ships in fleet take 15% less damage.
KMS Event craft
The best bomber-focused CV in the game, courtesy of her 2 3x Bomber slots at 160% efficiency. Her KMS-focused buff also makes an all-KMS composition hilariousy tough.

- HMS Ark Royal
Skill: Airstrikes deploy a round of Torpedoes from Swordfish planes, slowing enemies by 60% for 8s; 25% chance to do double damage on Airstrike.
Craftable and farmable
A rare Torpedo-focused CV. Ark Royal kills bosses like no other CV can for this reason. Sadly, she's sub-par at clearing enemy fleets.

- HMS Unicorn
Skill: On launching an airstrike, heals the escort fleet for 8% HP; Increases Reload of escort fleet by 15%
Craftable
Arguably the best support CVL in the game, between the heal and the reload buff she provides a lot of value simply by existing.

- IJN Zuikaku (Tier 2 if not paired)
Skill: Increases next airstrike damage by 20% on launching airstrike, stacks up to 3 times; When paired, increases Air Power by 20% and takes 20% less damage
ZKK/SKK Event point shop/drop
An extra-tough carrier designed for boss fights. Not as great for PvE clear fleets, serviceable in PvP

- IJN Shoukaku (Tier 2 if not paired)
Skill: On launching an airstrike, gives a fleetwide increase of damage dealt by 10% and reduces damage taken fleetwide by 10% for 12s; When paired, increases Air Power by 30% and INCREASES damage taken by 10%
ZKK/SKK Event craft
More support-based than her sister. The odd debuff on her paired skill makes her rather fragile, but still a good supporting CV overall

- USS Lexington/Saratoga
Skill: Every 10s, fires a special salvo; On launching an airstrike, increases escort fleet Firepower by 15% for 8s
Craftable and farmable
These two ships are identical in use, and specialize in clearing smaller enemy fleets due to their bomber focus and special salvo. Great for PvE clear fleets.


Tier 2:
- HMS Illustrious
Skill: On launching an airstrike, provides a shield to the escort fleet for 8s. Shield HP is 10% of Illustrious's HP
Craftable
A very defensive-focused CV with double fighter slots. Her offense is poor in comparison to others, but she excels at defense.

- IJN Shouhou Kai
Skill: On launching an airstrike, heals the escort fleet for 8% HP; On launching an airstrike, Increases Air Power of other CV/CVLs by 15% for 8s
Farmable
Trades the permanent reload buff of Unicorn's for a temporary Airpower buff. Arguably inferior for that reason.

- HMS Glorious
Skill: On launching an airstrike, increase damage dealt by escort fleet by 15%, does not stack; On launching an airstrike, reduce damage taken by escort fleet by 15% for 8s
CN: Glorious Fight event SP3 Drop
JP: Does not exist yet
Another Torpedo-focused CV. Glorious offers less firepower than Ark Royal for more defense and support capabilities.

- IJN Hiryuu (Tier 2.5 if not paired)
Skill: Once a battle, upon taking lethal damage, will not sink and will evade all attacks for 15s, simultaneously launching an additional airstrike; When paired, increases Air Power by 35%
Farmable
High airpower when paired, but otherwise her skill is pretty lackluster outside PvP

- IJN Souryuu (Tier 2.5 if not paired)
Skill: On launching an airstrike, increases escort fleet Firepower by 15% for 8s; When paired, increases Air Power by 35%
Farmable
A more support-based version of Hiryuu, with most of the same pros and cons.

- USS Yorktown
Skill: Once per battle, if HP falls under 20%, heals for 25% HP and simultaneously launching an additional airstrike; On launching an airstrike, increases escort fleet Firepower by 15% for 8s
Craftable and farmable
Reasonably useful skill for PvP and also decent to use in PvE, but isn't that great overall.

- HDN Green Heart
Skill: Every 15s switches between one of the following Effects: Reduces damage taken by 20%, Increases damage dealt by 20%, restores 15 HP every 3s; 40% chance to launch a special airstrike every 20s
HDN Collab Event Craft
Stats on the mediocre side, but her skills allow her to potentially see some usage, though a bit heavy on RNG.
