Azur Lane Torpedo Efficiency Guide & Tips

Azur Lane combines naval warfare with RPG elements, featuring shipgirls with distinct combat specialties. While battleships deliver devastating broadsides and carriers control the skies, torpedo-based ships excel in sudden strike damage, ambush scenarios, and applying continuous pressure against enemy formations. Torpedoes represent high-risk, high-reward armaments—capable of massive damage output but requiring strategic timing and positioning mastery. Perfecting torpedo tactics can dramatically enhance your performance across all game modes, from campaign progression to competitive PvP engagements.

Mastering Azur Lane's Torpedo Systems

Torpedo armaments fall into two primary categories:

Surface Torpedoes – Equipped by destroyers, light cruisers, and certain hybrid heavy cruisers.
Submarine Torpedoes – Exclusive to submarines and submarine carriers during surprise attacks.

Unlike consistent gunfire, torpedoes specialize in devastating alpha strikes. When properly aimed, they can eliminate high-value targets or chunk down elite enemies. However, missed salvos result in significant DPS downtime. These critical factors determine torpedo effectiveness:

• Damage Output – Base torpedo damage (highest on gold/PR weapons)
• Firing Pattern – Launch configuration (cone, fan spread, or homing trajectories)
• Cooldown – Delay between torpedo salvos
• Torpedo Type – Standard, homing, or magnetic variants with unique tracking properties
• Ship Torpedo Stat – Damage multiplier (destroyers and submarines typically excel)
