Azur Lane's 'Alliance Before the Hagiobull' Event Adds Seven New Shipgirls
Yostar has rolled out a new limited-time event for Azur Lane, dubbed "Alliance Before the Hagiobull," which is now live on iOS and Android. This event kicks off on May 20 and will run until June 11, 2026, introducing seven new Iron Blood shipgirls to the roster, including two Ultra Rare units. Players can also look forward to new skins, login bonuses, and event-specific rewards. This event follows the "A Note Through the Firmament" event from December 2025, which similarly expanded the game with Ultra Rare characters and phased content updates.
The Limited Construction pool features the Ultra Rare battleship Götz von Berlichingen, the Super Rare heavy cruiser Prinz Moritz, and the Elite destroyer Z15. Additionally, players can obtain the Ultra Rare submarine U-2501 and Elite destroyer Z14 through event rewards and PT exchange. Notably, Super Rare shipgirl Elbe META makes her debut during this event, and Admiral Hipper is receiving a new retrofit update.
Throughout the event, players can engage in various limited-time activities. Minigames like "Operation Vacation" will allow them to earn resources for use in the event shop. A Special Login Campaign is also in place, offering daily rewards, while newer players benefit from double Commander and ship EXP from sorties during this period. Moreover, the update introduces a custom loading screen feature in the Profile Style menu, enabling players to personalize their loading screens with selected illustrations and comics.
Why it matters
The first wave of event cosmetics includes nine new skins, with standouts like the L2D+ outfit "Rapture Beneath the Blood Moon" for Götz von Berlichingen, L2D skins for U-2501 and Amagi (CV), and Dynamic skins for Prinz Moritz and Z15. Mogador will also feature a dual-form skin that offers both L2D and Dynamic animation options. To sweeten the deal, several older cosmetics are returning, including outfits for Lion, Trafalgar, Taihou, Gallant, Trinidad, and Sovetsky Soyuz. Curious about the new Iron Blood lineup?
