How To Reroll in Azur Lane
For those who don’t know, rerolling is a common method used by new players to obtain the best possible ships and commanders at the beginning of the game.
To reroll in this game, you’ll need to complete the initial tutorial which introduces the basic mechanics. After the tutorial, you’ll have enough resources (like gems or cubes) to perform your first build. Head to the “Build” section where you can use the resources to get ships.
Use the gems or cubes to perform a single or multi-pull to get new ships. You can check the drop rates for specific ships especially for limited or high-tier ships. If you don’t get your favorite ships, you can clear the app’s data or use multiple Google Play accounts for easier rerolling. This means you don’t have to reinstall the game every time.
Continue rerolling until you get the ships you want. Many players focus on getting 5-star ships.
