Azur Lane's latest update delivers a wealth of new content, including the "Welcome to Little Academy" event, running until July 10th. This update introduces two Super Rare (SR) shipgirls, Alvitr and Z47, and two Elite shipgirls, U-31 and Z43, all hailing from the Iron Blood faction.
The event features various stages rewarding players with PT (points) to acquire one of the Elite shipgirls. Collecting Colourful Doodles grants bonus rewards, including the 533mm Improved Quadruple Magnetic Torpedo Mount. Completing the story unlocks the Stony Slowly-Cat gear skin.

Alvitr is a Battlecruiser (BC), while Z47 and Z43 are both Destroyers (DD), and U-31 is a Submarine. Alvitr and Z47 boast increased acquisition rates in the Limited Construction Pool alongside U-31. Z43 is obtainable as a milestone reward for accumulating sufficient PT. These additions will undoubtedly impact strategic gameplay. Consult our Azur Lane tier list to assess their strengths relative to your existing fleet.
Seven new outfits are also included: an L2D skin for Illustrious, and dynamic skins for Alvitr and the Duke of York. Additional skins are available for Z47, U-31, Eldridge, and Z43. Don't miss the new Gear Skin Box!
