Scylla in Azur Lane: Class, Skills, Gear, Optimal Fleets Guide

Apr 08,2025 Author: Matthew

HMS Scylla, a Super Rare (SR) 6-star light cruiser in Azur Lane, embodies the Royal Navy's Dido-class and was introduced during the "Revelations of Dust" event. Players can obtain her through limited construction. Known for her outstanding anti-air capabilities and supportive skills, Scylla is a crucial addition to many fleet compositions. This guide delves into her class, abilities, and gear requirements, helping players harness her full potential. Let's dive in!

Scylla – All Skills Explained


Like other ships in Azur Lane, Scylla boasts three unique abilities that can turn the tide of battle:

How Pathetic – Every time Scylla fires her Main Guns, her Firepower (FP) and Anti-Air (AA) stats increase by 1.5% (up to a maximum of 5%) per stack, with a cap at six stacks. Once fully stacked, she provides a 15% (up to 25%) AA boost to all Vanguard ships with lower AA stats than hers for the remainder of the battle.

Scylla’s Embrace – At the start of the battle, if other ships are present in the Vanguard, Scylla's Torpedo (TRP) and Evasion (EVA) stats increase by 10% (up to 20%). When she launches her torpedoes, a special barrage is triggered (damage scales with skill level), and enemies hit by this barrage suffer a 6% increase in aircraft damage for 6 seconds. Additionally, if six enemy aircraft are downed within the Vanguard’s AA gun range, allied carriers (CVs and CVLs) receive a 5% (up to 15%) damage reduction while Scylla remains afloat.

All Out Assault – This skill activates a special barrage every 15 (down to 10 at max level) Main Gun attacks. When equipped with a Destroyer (DD) Main Gun, the activation requirement drops to six attacks.

Gear Recommendations for Scylla


To optimize Scylla’s performance, consider the following gear:

Main Gun: A Destroyer Main Gun can accelerate the activation of her All Out Assault skill, leading to more frequent barrages.

Torpedoes: High-damage torpedoes will enhance her torpedo efficiency and the special barrage from her "Scylla’s Embrace" skill.

Anti-Air Guns: Given her high AA stat and role, the best AA guns available will bolster her ability to shield the fleet from aerial threats.

Auxiliary Equipment: Items that boost her AA capabilities or improve survivability, such as AA radars or repair tools, are recommended.

Class and Role in Fleets


As a Dido-class light cruiser, Scylla specializes in anti-air defense within the Vanguard. Her skills not only enhance her combat prowess but also significantly support the fleet, particularly by strengthening AA defenses and mitigating damage to carriers.

Best Fleet Compositions for Scylla


Scylla thrives in fleets that leverage strong anti-air support and synergize with carriers. Consider these fleet setups:

Carrier-Centric Fleets: Pairing Scylla with carriers activates her "Scylla’s Embrace" skill, reducing incoming damage to these critical units and enhancing fleet durability.

Vanguard Combinations: Combining Scylla with other light cruisers or destroyers that have complementary skills forms a balanced Vanguard capable of tackling both aerial and surface threats effectively.

In summary, HMS Scylla is a versatile light cruiser whose skills and stats make her a formidable anti-air asset and a supportive presence in various fleet compositions. Properly equipping and positioning her within a fleet can significantly enhance overall performance, especially in scenarios with heavy aerial opposition.

Players can enjoy playing Azur Lane on a larger screen using their PC or laptop via BlueStacks, along with a keyboard and mouse for a more immersive experience.
