About this template

Rank the SSR roster

The tray loads 211 ships at Super Rare and above — including Ultra Rare, Priority and Decisive — that are actually available on the EN server. Ships that exist only on CN or JP are excluded, so the board matches what you can actually build.

Ranking all 606 EN ships in one column would produce something nobody could read. Rare and Elite ships are left out of the default tray rather than dismissed — several of them are famously cost-efficient — and can be added with + Add items.

New to ranking? How to make a tier list covers the basics, and what S tier means helps once the top row is crowded.

What moves a ship

What actually decides a placement

Azur Lane rankings depend on questions that are easy to leave unstated, and most disagreements trace back to one of them.

Hull type is not comparable. A destroyer and a battleship are doing unrelated jobs in different fleets. Ranking them against each other produces a board that reads oddly to everyone including its author.

Retrofits and gear change the answer. A retrofit can move a ship several rows, and equipment quality often matters more than the hull. A board assuming full gear and one assuming a fresh pull are different documents.

Content decides value. A ship built for clearing story stages efficiently is answering a different question from one built for high-difficulty content. Pick which before you start.

Hull types

Rank inside the fleet first

Ships split into a vanguard of destroyers, light cruisers and heavy cruisers, and a main fleet of battleships, battlecruisers and carriers, with submarines and support hulls alongside.

Those two fleets are scored on different things — vanguard ships on survivability and screen clearing, main fleet on burst and coverage — so a single ranked column flattens the distinction that actually matters when you build.

Rank inside each hull type first, then decide how the types compare for the content you run. It is quicker and the result is defensible.

FAQ

How many ships are on this Azur Lane tier list?+

211 — every Super Rare, Ultra Rare, Priority and Decisive ship available on the EN server. Ships that exist only on the CN or JP servers are excluded so the board matches what you can actually build.

Why are Elite and Rare ships not included?+

Only to keep the board readable — there are 606 ships on EN. Several Elite and Rare ships are famously cost-efficient and worth ranking; add any of them with the plus button.

Do retrofits change the ranking?+

Often dramatically. A retrofit can move a ship several rows, and gear quality frequently matters more than the hull itself. Decide whether you are ranking fully-kitted ships or fresh pulls before you start.

Should I rank by hull type?+

Yes. Vanguard and main fleet ships are scored on different things, so comparing a destroyer to a battleship directly rarely resolves. Rank inside each hull type, then merge.

Is the Azur Lane tier list maker free?+

Yes — free, no login, and it runs in your browser. Drag the ships into tiers, export a PNG, and share it.
