My first fight at 255T with a normal pirate, these are seriously tough battles now. A bit of luck and a lot of cannon upgrades needed for a win methinks with any regularity.

Happy with that. Getting tough and taking longer, I may struggle to get all the battles done, not much time to be on here from tomorrow, though would be a shame to not carry on from what I think is a good position. |
| How high should my cannons be? I cant get anything through right now |
I have pushed mine on until I could be reasonably confident of a win on 5T from full. I am now about to save for next boat I think.
I have 6 cannons with defence and attack at 10 for all except 2 which are at 11. |
| That may be my problem. |
| I have done a lot more battles, I barely upgraded any till I hit ship 5 I think, whether this is possible however depends upon a lot of other factors, such as build, stats, strategy, luck etc. Current state is for the end of 48th battle with only 198 silver spare (ie exactly 11 runs at 255T to get the next boat, all other silver invested) |
| Yeah, I have no clue but Im getting murdered. Tamer De struggles |
| such a painful event, always getting rekt by fast moving pirates with tons of damage |
Never have a chance in this dumb event.
Pretty much 100% luck based event. I mean 100+ women pirates one shot entire stacks before I even get to use them, and guess what big stacks of enemy shooters that proceeds to one shot everything else I have.
I have level 12 cannons (attack and durability and cannot even win Ship 5 (-5 max load).
Should have never started the event at all but after losing this much gold I might as well complete it. |
| Those huge stacks that go first ruin me consistently. And the monsters that do 400+ with double strike and have 1k hp |
| I am going with low arts and medium weight. Dwarf was good. Now have run out of skill potion |
for Ryric:
Exactly and lets not forget upgraded Nix lizards. Those guys are the definition of cancer. High defence and attack (+ buffs from hero/sea witches) as well as anti attack and range. Also moves straight to cannons/stacks and 1 shots them lmao.
This game is becoming more of luck based instead of skill. I even opted to go for a 4 luck build and pray that every hit is a luck trigger. |
Ali events have random builds, creatures and numbers and this have an element of luck. There trick is to use strategy to choose a so yourself where that bad luck is minimised and you have an option to win if you play correctly.

I believe this battle had most of the stacks you spoke about, but was won, not due to luck.
I do however recognise that she factions really struggle in this event and not all may choose whichever faction can have a suitable builds to counter the pirates |
for Lord MilesTeg:
Fury barb seems to have tools to fight against pirates (shooters, bulk, speed)
The event should be dynamically balanced for all factions.
Look at this battle for example:
My cannons are all Attack lvl14 and durability lvl12. This battle is on a lvl 6 ship at 200 tonnes freight delivery.

There was literally NO chance. And as a necro, pretty much gambling my stack of poltergeist (50-50 chance) happens every battle. |
I agree, some battles are impossible, any build can only have limited specialisation to allow a win. There are enough different creatures to mean very different outcomes. For example, my build is decent against a lot of enemy types, but is heavily ranged based, if they can nerf my damage early, and have sufficient nixes I have no chance.
No amount of stats in cannons would likely win that battle. It happens, it is the frequency which is the issue.

How is everyone else doing, feels like a lonely voice here |
for Lord MilesTeg:
Thats because all of us are losing A LOT of gold in this event xd.
But it is nice to see a fellow .com player doing well.
I honestly do not enjoy the event at all, and would rather not start at all given the choice. Pretty much can't stop now as I already lost too much gold. |
