Tips

Concentrate fire on the Lead Ship

During battle, team with your allies to defeat the enemy "Lead Ship" and obtain more points.

Conversely, make sure to defend your side's "Lead Ship" when it’s under attack, so it doesn't have to retreat.

Change up your tactics with "Pirate Feud Equipment"

"Pirate Feud Equipment" can be used once during rounds of the Epic Pirate Feud.

These equipment have effects that differ from normal attacks, such as:

• Temporarily negating attacks towards your allied Lead Ship
• Defeating the enemy Lead Ship with one strike.

Using Pirate Feud Equipment wisely, and at the right time, can greatly impact your battle's outcome.

Pirate Feud Equipment

During the Feud Period, you can equip your Ship with:

• Relief Supplies
• Sabotage Tools
• Special Defense Barrier
• Large Scale Explosive

Get one of these at the dock of the city located within the Feud Sea Region.

Relief Supplies

Can be used to provide provisions for the Lead Ship of your affiliated faction. Effectively stops the enemy assault on your Lead Ship.

Sabotage Tools

Can be used to sabotage the Lead Ship of the enemy faction and decrease its remaining durability.

Special Defense Barrier

Can be used on the lead Ship of your faction to prevent it from being assaulted for a set amount of time.

Large Scale Explosive

Can be used on the Lead Ship of the enemy faction that is not being assault and force it to retreat at one fell swoop.

"Large-scale Explosive" requires you to have at least 1 notoriety.

Notes

• Pirate Feud Equipment on your Ship will be unequipped after you have changed ships or entered a city. Make sure to equip it again before you leave.
• The type of Pirate Feud Equipment that may be equipped depends on your Ship Type
