Game Guides

You want to collect every limited-time ship in Azur Lane Event, but sometimes you miss a chance because you do not know the schedule. You need to plan for the four big Ultra Rare ship events each year: late February, mid-May, September, and December. With smart farming and good resource management, you can get more ships and rewards. This guide from Bahomu will help you stay ahead and never miss your favorite ships.

Event Ship Schedule

Current Event Ships

There are lots of limited-time ships in the Azur Lane Event right now. If you plan ahead, you will not miss any ships. The table below shows which ships and skins you can get now. It also shows when they leave the event shop or build pool.

Tip: Always look at the event timer in the game. You can set reminders for ship deadlines. This helps you remember to farm or build before the event ends.

Upcoming Event Ships

You might want to know which ships are coming soon in Azur Lane Event. If you plan early, you can save cubes and coins for new ships or reruns. The table below lists the upcoming ships. It shows their factions, types, and when they might be released.

Note: You can get ready for Ultra Rare ships by saving resources before the event. Ultra Rare ships need more cubes and coins than other ships. For more tips on preparing for game events, check out our guide on Blog.

Event Duration

You should know how long each Azur Lane Event lasts. Most events go on for two or three weeks. Some reruns or special events last longer. Always check the event calendar and in-game news for updates. If you start farming early, you can get all event ships and rewards before time runs out.

• Most major events: 14–21 days

• Reruns: 7–14 days

• Special campaigns: Varies (check in-game for exact dates)

Reminder: Try to farm ships and event currency early. If you wait until the last day, you might miss out on limited ships.

Azur Lane Event Farming Basics

How Event Stages Work

You will notice that event stages in Azur Lane Event have unique mechanics compared to regular stages. Each event usually has three main phases. The table below explains these phases:

During major story events, you can farm the event’s special Super Rare ship from the final mission. If you earn an S ranking in boss fights, you always get a ship drop. This system helps you collect ships even if you play casually. For more insights on how to manage in-game resources, you might find our guide on farming rare materials in Wuthering Waves helpful.

Ship Drop Locations

Each event stage offers different ship drops. Some stages have higher chances for rare ships. The table below shows examples of ship drop locations:

You should focus on the stages that match your fleet’s level and the ships you want. Farming the right stage increases your chances of getting limited ships.

Event Currency

You earn event currency by playing event stages and completing missions. Here are the main types:

• Event PT: You get this by clearing event stages. Rerun events often give you triple PTs.

• Decor Tokens: You earn these from missions, commissions, treasure chests, or by buying them. Daily missions and event participation give you the most.

• Shattered Crest: You collect this currency from battles and missions. The more event points you earn, the more currency you get.

Event currency lets you exchange for ships, gear, and other rewards. Milestone rewards from event points also give you important resources. This system helps you farm ships more efficiently during each Azur Lane Event.

Best Stages for Ship Farming

Recommended Stages

You want to get the most ships from each event. Picking the right stage helps you save time and resources. Each Azur Lane Event has special maps with different ship drops. Some stages have higher drop rates for limited ships. Others give more event currency or better gear.

Here are some tips for choosing recommended stages:

• Check the event info: The event page shows which ships drop in each stage. Look for the stage with your target ship.

• Focus on boss nodes: Boss fights often have the highest chance for rare ships. Try to clear the boss node as much as possible.

• Consider your fleet level: Pick a stage that matches your fleet’s strength. If your ships are strong, farm the highest stage for better rewards.

• Repeat easy stages for currency: If you only want event points, lower stages cost less oil and let you farm faster.

Tip: Many players farm the last event map (like SP3 or EX) for the best ship drops. If you cannot clear it, farm the highest stage you can finish quickly.

Drop Rate Overview

Drop rates in Azur Lane can feel random. You might get a ship on your first try, or you might need many runs. The game does not show exact drop rates for most ships, but players share data online. Here is a general idea of what you can expect:

You will notice that Super Rare and event-limited ships have the lowest drop rates. Farming takes patience. You may need to run a stage 100 times or more to get a rare ship. Some events increase drop rates during reruns, so always check the event news. For more on character strategies, be sure to read our Character Spotlights.

Note: You can use the “Sortie” log to track how many times you have cleared a stage. This helps you see your progress and plan your farming.

Stage Selection Tips

Choosing the right stage makes farming easier and more efficient. Use these strategies to get the most out of each Azur Lane Event:

1. Set your goal: Decide if you want ships, event currency, or both. This helps you pick the best stage.

2. Balance oil cost and rewards: Higher stages give better drops but cost more oil. If you run low on oil, switch to lower stages.

3. Use auto-battle: Auto-battle lets you farm while you do other things. Make sure your fleet can clear the stage without help.

4. Watch for special drops: Some stages have extra rewards like gear boxes or blueprints. Farm these if you need equipment.

5. Farm early and often: Start farming as soon as the event begins. This gives you more time to get ships and rewards before the event ends.

Pro Tip: If you want a specific ship, focus on the stage where it drops. If you want to clear event shops, farm the stage with the best event currency per oil spent.

Efficient Farming Strategies

Fleet Setup

You want your fleet to be ready for any event. Make a team with destroyers, cruisers, and battleships. This helps you fight all kinds of enemies. Give your ships strong anti-air guns and powerful torpedoes or cannons for bosses. If your fleet has trouble, try changing their gear. Always check ship levels and upgrade them before hard maps.

Tip: Pick ships with skills that boost damage or lower damage taken. These skills help your fleet last longer and finish stages faster.

Resource Management

Managing your resources well helps you get more ships and rewards. Each Azur Lane Event has special maps, build pools, missions, and shops. Plan how you use cubes, coins, and oil. Focus on event currency first, since you can trade it for ships and rare items. If you want a limited ship, save cubes for the event build pool. Do daily missions and clear the SP stage every day for extra points.

Note: Go for event currency first if you want all event ships. Change your farming plan based on your goals and the event.

Auto-Battle Tips

Auto-battle saves time but does not play smart. The CPU moves ships randomly and does not dodge attacks well. Your fleet may take more hits than if you play yourself. Use auto-battle only if your ships are much stronger than the enemies. For hard maps or boss fights, play by hand to avoid mistakes and do better.

Pro Tip: Put tanky ships in front and high-damage ships in back. This setup helps your fleet last longer during auto-battles.

Azur Lane Event Troubleshooting

Low Drop Rates

You may notice that some ships seem almost impossible to get. Drop rates for rare ships in Azur Lane Event can be very low. For example:

• The drop rate for Akagi is 3 out of 400.

• The drop rate for Kaga is also 3 out of 400.

• You might need to clear mission 3-4 many times before you see either ship.

If you do not get the ship you want after many tries, do not feel discouraged. Many players need dozens or even hundreds of runs. Try to set a daily farming goal. Take breaks to avoid burnout. You can also join online communities to share your progress and see how others are doing. For the latest news, you can check the official Azur Lane Twitter or the popular Azur Lane subreddit.

Tip: Use the sortie log to track your attempts. This helps you see your progress and plan your farming sessions.

Resource Shortages

Running out of oil, cubes, or coins can stop your progress. You can manage your resources better by following a few steps:

1. Complete daily and weekly missions for extra oil and cubes.

2. Use commissions to get more oil while you play other modes.

3. Save cubes and coins before a big event starts.

4. Avoid spending resources on non-event builds during the event.

If you run low, focus on lower-cost stages or take a break to let your resources recover. Planning ahead helps you farm more ships and rewards during each event.

Balancing Event Tasks

You may feel overwhelmed by all the missions, farming, and building. To balance your tasks:

• Make a checklist of daily and weekly goals.

• Prioritize event missions that give the most points or currency.

• Use auto-battle for easy stages to save time.

• Set reminders for event deadlines.

Staying organized helps you enjoy the Azur Lane Event without stress. You can get more ships and rewards if you plan your time and resources well.

You can get the most out of every Azur Lane Event by following the event schedule and using smart farming strategies. Adjust your plan for each event.
