Naval Combat Tips#

1. Keep Your Broadside to the Enemy: Bow attacks fire from the side, so keep your flank facing the enemy
2. Use Your Speed Advantage: Small ships are fast and can kite large enemy ships
3. Target the Sails First: Destroying the sails reduces enemy mobility
4. Use Ramming: Accelerate and ram enemy ships head-on for massive damage
5. Watch for Shoals: Some waters have shallows or reefs — steer clear of them
6. Fleet Actions: Allied ships sometimes fight alongside you during the story

Core Combat Mechanics#

The core of naval combat is broadside duels against the enemy and head-on ramming boarding actions.

Bow Attack Mechanics:

• Arrows are fired from the right side of the ship
• Keep the enemy ship on your right for the best firing angle
• Consecutive hits set the enemy ship on fire (damage over time)
• Aiming at the sails lowers the enemy ship’s speed

Ramming Mechanics:

• Requires accelerating and sprinting for some distance
• Ram damage depends on relative speed and hull upgrades
• Head-on ramming does the most damage but is risky
• Side ramming can deal extra damage

Defense Mechanics:

• Hull Reinforce reduces damage taken
• Hull Reinforce has a cooldown
• If hull health reaches zero, the mission fails
• Higher-tier hull upgrades provide more health

Enemy Ship Weakness Analysis#

Common Naval Tactics#

Guerrilla Tactics:

1. Keep sailing at full speed
2. Fire a volley as you pass quickly along the enemy ship’s flank
3. Never get bogged down trading blows with any enemy ship
4. Suited to facing superior numbers

Ramming Tactics:

1. Confirm the target ship is low on health
2. Pull back to build up speed
3. Ram head-on at full speed
4. Turn away immediately after ramming and pull back again

Fire Suppression Tactics:

1. Sail parallel to the enemy ship
2. Sustain broadside bow fire
3. Use Hull Reinforce to defend against counterattacks
4. Suited to 1v1 duels

• Stronger naval combat skills (story setting)

• Cannot use Senu (but has her own way of scouting)

• Since Senu cannot be used, bringing a Predator Bow (guided arrows) is recommended

• For melee weapons, a regular sword is recommended (balanced and reliable)

• Use assassination often to reduce combat attrition

Maritime Trade#

Although the game has no standalone trade system, maritime activities can bring in a great deal of wealth:

Maritime Resource Route:

1. Alexandria Harbor → Canopus (dense merchant traffic)
2. Nile Delta (many shipwrecks)
3. Mediterranean Coast (chest distribution)
