While +defence helps your own ship take less damage during a fight; lowering the enemy attack will cause EVERYONE attacking that enemy to take less damage. Something to consider about Ed for group fights, no pirate is an island. 💪🧡
@davemacktraveler2333 This one we gotta playtest for sure. It certainly *COULD* be that way (don't we love the world "could" now? 🤣). The way it reads its applying a debuff to the enemy but it may ACTUALLY work as a buff on your own ships? 🤔 The problem I have with this theory is that it seems like a lot more math for the system. Instead of -x% to one enemy ship its gotta track which ship is debuffed, which its targeting, and then apply extra defence (or less attack) to whatever it shoots at for the next y seconds. While totally possible, occams razor makes me wanna think otherwise. Thanks for the comment. We will follow up for sure. 🫡
Ya, let me know if you figure out any proof to it. Not sure how you would, but let me know if you do. I guess you would have to pvp someone 2 vs 1 with Ed equipped and not equipped and see if it makes a big difference.
@@davemacktraveler2333 That's the plan. 🤭 We got lots of numbers guys who like to do this kind of stuff. We've always got fun shenanigans to commense. Join us for Friday livestreams. 😁
First of, thank you for making these series on SoC. You explain everything very well, and taught me more than a thing or two. There is one thing, that i might disagree with and that is % vs raw stats on equipment. If the % stat on equiment boosts the total amount of e.g. attack, acquired by all 4 equipment slots, raw ship stats, and hero stats combined, than the % stat is obviously better. Will see tomorrow, to tired to log back in. Keep it up. En onthoud, je bent geweldig.
I have a spreadsheet to prove it mate. But would love to know more information if you have it. discord.com/channels/1011519236553838632/1203826974620127242/1203826974620127242
I enjoyed the explanation on the flagship one, hoping you went a little more detailed on the others, felt like you went to quick. Anyway Great video definitely learned something. I'll just have to watch again in case I misunderstood anything
Yes, but then pair it with Lulu and dont use Armstrong but Ed (if you have him) in the 3rd slot. And stack attack stats on there. That should help it survive longer.
Here's a newbie stupid question: those active naval warfare skills, do they get activated automatically when in normal sea battles? In the very first chapters of the main storyline there were a couple of battles where the game zoomed in and I had a broadside view of the ongoing battle, and then I could activate Henry and Betty's skills at my discretion. But this doesn't happen normally (or am I missing some way to activate it?). And I don't see a way to use any active skill while in normal view sea battle.
Those tutorial battles are the only time you have to do that manually. Those skills will always go automatically when you battle outside of the tutorial. You can see them happen in an animation unique per hero.
I would like to suggest to emphasize more on character guide too. -Have a guide for each legendary/epic/rare heroes scaling them from best to worst on each rarity -Which skills to prioritize first on each heroes -Which team comp will be a character to fit in -Which heroes are meta -And finally for each new heroes being released, i do suggest to make a review on them so that players will have the idea if they will pull or not on that hero so that their hard earned Conch will not go to waste 😊
Your entire comment is going into my video idea's list. Haha. I had idea's about doing this, i just been very busy with real live. Thanks for the suggestions.
Yes, in Season 2 you get a defensive ship very easy and can build your own Warhammer and a 3rd ship Stormbringer. All free, but building has a 62% to be blue, 28 % chance to be purple and only 10% of being legendary.
Hey Bob. Thanks for the info. I’m confused about the tower and port situation, especially with the patch. Do your ports need to be connected by towers? Or can you just leave one tower outside of the port you’ve captured and move on?
Before the last 1.1.170 update you could leave 1 tower. Now you need to place a gang flag and all towers need to be connected to that gang flag otherwise they will become inactive.
Hey, good video man, I just have a question. If I wanted to make a more dps flagship build is it still viable / okay to make my 3rd ship using the dragon lance with the same defensive setup of ahab - lulu - armstrong?
I've tried something like that myself. I only didn't do it with the dragon lance but the season 2 ship providence. It does work, but we are fighting a lot of higher level players and then the flagship is to fragile.
Hi can you make a guide for s2? I'm most intrested in how the server starts if it's the same concept as s1 with 6 seas then you unlock 3 more that 1 or is it different, new content heroes/ships/events and if you have any tips on how to prepare for s2. Love your content and i hope to see more videos from you.
All upgrades you made to heroes are good investments. Because you need more heroes then just the ones on your ship to gather resources. The game is also working on a system to get a return on the investments you've already done. So that would make a video about it useless then i think. Let me know if you have a specific question.
@@NumbersBob704 Or maybe a video of low spenders guide to sea domination, what have you found to worth spending money on verse what is a waste to spend on.
Ive been told by one of the bigfer guys in my gang the best builds for pvp are artillery cutthroat and strategic, any knowledge on if this is true or not? The dude says because its just straight chunk damage no aoe or dot its just attack n health gone, where as drowning n burning do dot effects and take a min to really get going and then you have to be able to keep it going for it to be effective. He also said if using burning n drowning heors although the ideal set up is to have them all on the same ship he says to space them out one on each ship. He says that if you have 3 burn heros on a burn ship and that ship goes down, you lose all 3 stacks of that tick damage, where as if you space them out n one ship goes down you still have 2 more ticking away on the trarget, n altho the initial damage may be slightly less you will be doing more damover all the longer the fight lasts.
@@NumbersBob704 idk tbh I'm still a bit of a noob.haha just trying to find the best build I can with what I've got. My regular build is a tank flagship and a burn ship a cutthroat ship and a blade of freedom attack ship, n if I need a little more dps for ports or ghost zhips or whatever I can switch my flagship to a drown ship n take out one of the healers ahab n armstrong for the extra damage hero's. Seems to be working pretty good for me so far. I can out dps players in my gang that are bigger rhan me at ports n stuff where it shows damage points I'm regularly in the top 7 of the gang plus I can sink other players thar are bigger than me and solo level 48 frighters which we jusr got last night in my server so I can't be doing too badly.
@@player--zero Level 48 freighters and you calling yourself a noob? No mate, you everything but a noob. Sounds like your doing great. Last time i tested i can solo a 42 and not more then that.
@@NumbersBob704 does cutthroat damage do less damage at ports? I got a new gold warhammer today and it done terrible damage against a lvl 6 port compared to monsters freighters n other players. N that was supposed to be my strongest ship with the highest attack stat yet it hit the lowest damage numbers in the report. Im not sure what happed if its the ship that's screwed me or if its just been bad luck at that port. Worst part is I've already deleted the purple warhammer so i cant even switch back to compare numbers. Surely the different abilities of the ships wouldn't cause that much of a drastic change in damage numbers
@@player--zero the skills on the ships can make a huge difference. But also, artillery damage is the best type to use against ports and towers i heard. Still need to do testing myself but it sounds logical.
What an amazing guide! just one question, you have bones, lulu and luna on your flag ship at the end... what kind of build is that? some more damaged oriented? is that for some content?
How strong Oscar could be better than 2 star Qi? As free to play kind of dont want to spend on Qi :/ Need many other, like captains and universals hmm. Or Oscar cant compensate Qi at all?
I dont have an answer for that. I just got Qi like a couple days ago and i still have to do some testing, but it seems to me she is doing at least equally good. But can't confirm that.
Hey bob, if I use golden counch to wish on let's say griffin but didn't get him in the time limit, when the next banner come my history reset? . Like if I did 30 pulls on griffin banner and didn't get him do I have to go from 1 or 30 in the next banner?
@@youmaster2689 the banner wont be there in Season 2, then a new banner with new pity points starts for the season 2 heroes. I dont know if the banner will be back after season 2 is done.
Im playing on the pc version of the game. That was a bug that all sails looked RGB. I didnt mind it, but unfortunatly they have fixed it now. So no more RGB Sails.
If you mean rank in your gang. That is a title that can be given out from your leader. R5 is only the gang owner, but R4 have alot of rights aswell as declaring war on ports or abandoning tower/ports. Let me know if you meant that please.
I disagree on that. There are games worse then this. This game is about how many active members does your gang have and winning towers and ports. You can defeat any paying player when you get 5 to 10 of your mates together to sink him/her. We have done this multiple times in video's or on livestreams.
Doing all the daily monsters. Doing all the daily freighters (dont do merchant ships) both of these as high of a level as you can. Preferably with you gang mates. Every event that can give you conches for heroes, save the spending of materials until there are events that benefit you spending them. (Lord of the Sea event is a good one for that)
@NumbersBob704 about a week in, just hit vip5 and upgraded my Sentinel to lv15.. I like this game more than the other war games I've played because when you get sunk, you don't lose all your inventory... Keep the videos and tips coming.. us noobs need them!
