HMS Scylla, a Super Rare (SR) 6-star light cruiser in Azur Lane, hails from the Royal Navy's Dido-class. She was introduced during the "Revelations of Dust" event and can be acquired through limited construction. Known for her outstanding anti-air capabilities and supportive skills, Scylla is an invaluable addition to various fleet compositions. This guide delves into her class, abilities, and the gear needed to fully harness her potential. Let's dive in!
Scylla – All Skills Explained
Like any other ship in Azur Lane, Scylla boasts three distinct abilities that can turn the tide of battle. Here's a breakdown:
How Pathetic – Whenever Scylla unleashes her Main Guns, her Firepower (FP) and Anti-Air (AA) stats surge by 1.5% (up to 5%) per stack, which can accumulate up to six times. Once fully stacked, she bestows a 15% (up to 25%) AA boost to all Vanguard ships with lower AA stats than hers for the rest of the battle.
Scylla’s Embrace – At the outset of the battle, if other ships are present in the Vanguard, Scylla's Torpedo (TRP) and Evasion (EVA) stats rise by 10% (up to 20%). When she launches her torpedoes, a special barrage (damage scales with skill level) is unleashed, and enemies struck by it suffer a 6% increase in aircraft damage for 6 seconds. Moreover, 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 triggers a special barrage every 15 (down to 10 at max level) Main Gun attacks. If equipped with a Destroyer (DD) Main Gun, the barrage can be activated after just six attacks.
Gear Recommendations for Scylla
To optimize Scylla’s performance, consider these gear recommendations:
Main Gun: A Destroyer Main Gun can hasten the activation of her All Out Assault skill, resulting in more frequent barrages.
Torpedoes: Opt for high-damage torpedoes to maximize 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 amplify her ability to shield the fleet from aerial threats.
Auxiliary Equipment: Choose items that enhance her AA capabilities or boost her survivability, such as AA radars or repair tools.
Class and Role in Fleets
As a Dido-class light cruiser, Scylla acts as an anti-air specialist within the Vanguard. Her skills not only elevate her combat prowess but also offer substantial support to 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 capitalize on her synergies with carriers. Consider these fleet setups:
Carrier-Centric Fleets: Pairing Scylla with carriers enables her "Scylla’s Embrace" skill to lessen incoming damage to these crucial units, enhancing fleet resilience.
Vanguard Combinations: Combining Scylla with other light cruisers or destroyers that possess complementary skills can forge a balanced Vanguard adept at countering both aerial and surface threats.
In summary, HMS Scylla is a versatile light cruiser whose skills and stats position her as a formidable anti-air asset and a supportive force across various fleet compositions. By equipping her correctly and strategically positioning her within a fleet, players can significantly boost overall performance, especially in scenarios with heavy aerial opposition.
