Gettin’ to Know the Ships Part 6 – Sixth Character Showcase for Azur Lane: Crosswave

-

Following its origins as a smart device game for iOS and Android platforms in 2017, Manjuu and Yongshi’s 2D side-scrolling shooter game Azur Lane has been adapted into a 3D Action Shooter for PlayStation 4 and PC platforms by Compile Heart and FELISTELLA. While already available in Japan for some time now, Azur Lane: Crosswave is due to launch in western markets next month.

For those who have seen the previous five instalments in this series already, Azur Lane: Crosswave has A LOT of anthropomorphic ships available both as playable characters and support units. Idea Factory International have today shared the profiles for six more ships. These include playable characters Yamashiro, Yukikaze, Unicorn and Laffey; and support ships Eldridge and Columbia. You can read about and see more of each ship below:


Columbia

Support Character
Eagle Union

One of Cleveland’s younger sisters, and one of the very few who understands and supports her. She approaches Cleveland like she is her friend, and seems to have the knack of knowing her well enough to either lift her spirits or knock them down. She’s very strong, loves being en vogue, and displays qualities that can potentially exceed Cleveland. She’s participating in the Joint Military Exercise to offer support to Cleveland and everyone there.


Eldridge

Support Character
Eagle Union

Eldridge seems to possess various powers (?), possibly due to her vessel’s historical background. She can emit electricity, make things float, and even teleport, but unfortunately… none of her powers are useful in battle (or so it seems…). For some peculiar reason, Eldridge ends up joining the Joint Military Exercise, which surprised her guardians.


Laffey

Playable Character
Eagle Union

A member of Eagle Union. She speaks in a lethargic fashion, and is often found with a sleepy expression on her face. Most of the time, she’s quiet like some small animal, but she has a very strong will, and will not let anyone get away with bringing harm to her friends. Her battle prowess is also quite impressive, and this led to the invitation for her to attend the Joint Military Exercise. She decides to participate, although reluctantly.


Unicorn

Playable Character
Royal Navy

A Royal Navy girl who always seems to be cuddling a mysterious plushie she calls “Ugean.” She doesn’t speak much, but admires the graceful maturity that Illustrious possesses. The efforts she displays brings courage to her allies, all of whom rely upon her. Suruga helped her when she lost her passport, so Unicorn tries her very best to repay Suruga as much as possible.


Yamashiro

Playable Character
Sakura Empire

A shrine maiden associated with the Sakura Empire. Maybe it has something to do with her association with the naval vessel of her namesake, but she seems to constantly bring bad luck with her. Despite that, she is very skilled with being able to purge evil and in handling various rituals. The bad luck and failures she brings is overwhelmed by her bright personality, which helps her get along with her fellow peers. But one day, a certain trial befalls her: she is separated from her older sister, and is partnered with Kongou instead to attend the Joint Military Exercise. With many new challenges to face, Yamashiro’s adventure has just begun.


Yukikaze

Playable Character
Sakura Empire

Those in the Sakura Empire refer to her as Yukikaze of the Kure City. She’s often found bragging about how lucky she is, but most people let her say what she wants since she’s proven herself to be powerful. Despite being childish, she does give praise where it’s due and has learned to respect Shimakaze and Suruga as their senior. By happenstance, she partners with Ayanami during the Joint Military Exercise. She tries her very best in proving herself better than a certain someone who she rivals.
