Tips and Strategies |
We've seen it in action: nearly everybody is a poor shot without Lesmok when firing the available weapons. This encourages teams to either coordinate fire at long range or charge head-first into the fight to compensate for their lack of gunnery skill. If you're really awful (like me), just take a Goldfish and give your crew Lochnager ammo. It might work... if you survive long enough to close the gap.
Do note that Spires and Galleons are both comparatively easy targets compared to Goldfish because of their profiles. Spires are Hades magnets when Lesmok is available, but even without it these tall ships are still targeted without great difficulty. The Galleon's balloon is also very inviting to Lumberjack fire once the gunner gets a feel for the drop. Choosing which ammo types to bring will have a great effect on the damage done and ranges at which your ship can be effective. |
