Can I perform an Azur Lane reroll?

If you're new to the game and don't pull the units that you want, you may be wondering how to perform an Azur Lane reroll. However, generally, we advise against rerolling in this game, as it's a pretty tedious process and not really worthwhile. This is due to the fact that most limited units have frequent reruns, you get some pretty strong ships to start off with, and, in the early game, ship choice isn't really that important - so you may be better off sticking with what you get, and simply enjoying the game.

If you still want to perform an Azur Lane reroll, though, there are three ways to go about it.

The first way to perform an Azur Lane reroll relies on you not linking your game account to a Facebook, Twitter, or Yostar account.  If your account isn't linked, you can simply delete the app from your device and clear the cache, then re-install and start over. You can do this as many times as you like - just keep in mind that you lose all your progress when you do this.

The second way is to use multiple email addresses to create multiple Yostar accounts, and then log into the game with those. Each time you do your first set of summons, you can log out, create a new account with a different email address, and play through the tutorial again. After all that, you can choose the account with the best pulls to continue your adventure. Of course, this also takes a lot of time and energy but means that you don't lose your progress if you decide a previous run yielded better results.

Finally, the easiest way to perform an Azur Lane reroll is by selecting a different server. To do this, you simply need to close the game completely and open it again. On the login screen, choose a different server than the one you originally started on. This allows you to start a brand new game, even if you're using the same account - and also means that you don't lose your progress on the other server. The only real problem with this method is that connecting to a different server may result in ping or connection issues, depending on your real location.
