Dragon Lance
It's a defensive blue ship well-suited for defensive and support heroes.
Fearless Princess
It's an offensive purple ship specializing in Strategic Damage, well-suited for Strategist Heroes. It can only be purchased with real money.
Flagship
The flagship serves as the primary ship and must prioritize high tankiness and durability to withstand enemy attacks. This is crucial because if the flagship's HP drops to zero, the fleet is immediately defeated.
Gang Raid
Gang Raids are similar to Squad Raids, but they require a larger group of participants. While the player limit for Squad Raids is 4, Gang Raids accommodate up to 30 players. They feature different difficulty levels, each offering various rewards. Additionally, there are drops from each kill, which will be auctioned in the Gang's auction house.
Goddess Satjit
It's an offensive orange ship specializing in Artillery Damage, well-suited for Artillery class Heroes. It can be purchased with real money in Season 3. It can also be crafted with in-game resources, but the quality will be randomly assigned as blue, purple, or orange. Check our detailed guide on Goddess Satjit here.
Guilds
Guilds play a significant role in the game, providing valuable rewards as you accumulate Guild points and achieve relation levels. Each port is affiliated with a Guild, rewarding you with Guild points as you interact with them, thereby increasing your relations with the respective Guilds. Your relations typically start at Neutral and progress through stages such as Friendly, Respect, Reverence, and Worship. Advancing to the next level entails accumulating points through various activities, including trading, completing commissions, exploring the map and using the compass at ports, donating to Governors in affiliated ports, employing Guild Sail Patterns on your ship, and holding a position as Port Official.
Health Points (HP)
Health Points (HP) is a common stat in games that refers to your ships' or heroes' durability in battles. The more damage you receive from the enemy, the more HP you will lose.
Healthy
The remaining HP is over 50% of the max HP.
Impact (IMP)
Impact is a stat, also known as Armor-Piercing or Armor Penetration, that determines the amount of a target's armor that will be ignored when your ships and heroes deal damage. The more Impact stats you have, the more you will ignore the enemy's armor, resulting in higher damage output.
Negative Effect
Negative effects, also known as debuffs, are detrimental effects placed on ships or heroes that cause them to deal less damage, receive more damage, heal less, have increased cooldowns, etc. These effects can be caused by the opposing fleet and heroes or can be self-inflicted due to certain skills, such as Sharky's skill, which lowers the Armor of his ship.
Orochi
It's an offensive orange ship specializing in Strategic Damage, well-suited for Strategist Heroes. It can be purchased with real money in Season 4. It can also be crafted with in-game resources, but the quality will be randomly assigned as blue, purple, or orange. Check our detailed guide on Orochi here.
Port
Ports can only be declared if you have a territory bordering the port, requiring you to expand your territory with Sentry Towers towards the Ports. Since there is a limited number of Sentry Towers you can have, it's important not to acquire Sentry Towers randomly. Strategic placement is key to effectively expanding your territory and controlling Ports in the game. The minimum declaration timer for Ports is 60 minutes, which means you need to declare a Port and wait for at least 60 minutes before you can attack it.
There are 7 levels of Ports in each sea, ranging from Level 1 as the lowest to Level 7 as the highest. Each sea contains only one Level 7 Port, and the Gang that controls it becomes the winner of that Season. Since each season features a different map, the overall season winner is determined by which Gang controls the Level 7 Port in each sea.
Rage
Both in Naval Warfare and Close Combat, heroes require rage to perform their active skills. The active skill is the first skill you see on the hero's page, and by clicking on it, you can see how much rage is needed to activate it. Rage is generated from Basic Attack hits and also gradually restores over time.
Rage Skill
The Rage Skill, also known as the Active Skill, is the first skill of every hero. You can check the Rage Skills of heroes on the Heroes Page to see their effects in Naval Warfare and Close Combat. The Rage Skill can be upgraded every 10 levels. For instance, a Level 70 hero's Rage Skill can be upgraded to Level 7 using Master Pipes (for orange-quality heroes).
Rage Tide Battle Flag
The highest level Sea Monsters in the seas respawn around Rage Tide Battle Flags after they activate. Each Flag has a timer indicating when the next respawn will occur.
Reinforcement
Ability that makes your fleet recieve less Damage of All Types.
Sailing Speed
Every fleet has a base Sailing Speed, which can be increased by completing stargazing in the Astrologer's Chamber, having Oarsman Quarters on your ship, and improving Guild Relations. Additionally, some ship parts come with Sailing Speed bonuses.
Sailor Bonus
Sailor Bonus is earned by upgrading the Captain's Quarters, and it increases the Attack of your fleet.
Sceptre
It's a defensive orange ship specializing in Damage Reduction, well-suited for Defensive and Support Heroes. It can be purchased with real money in Season 5. It can also be crafted with in-game resources, but the quality will be randomly assigned as blue, purple, or orange. Check our detailed guide on Sceptre here.
Sentry Tower
Sentry Towers in Sea of Conquest function as your Gang's territory, crucial for determining which Ports you can attack. Strategically capturing Sentry Towers to create pathways to Ports is essential. Since there's a limit to the number of Sentry Towers a Gang can control, focus on securing only the necessary ones to expand your territory effectively towards Ports.
Speed (SPD)
Speed is a Close Combat stat that allows your Heroes to perform basic attacks faster, thereby generating rage more quickly and enabling them to use their Rage Skill earlier than usual.
Splash Damage
The game states that "Splash Damage applies exclusively to fleets attacking you, excluding your current target fleet. When your ship is in 'Pounce' mode, it inflicts one splash damage to random ships in surrounding fleets that are attacking you." In essence, Splash Damage occurs when you're under attack by multiple enemies, affecting all attacking fleets except the one you're actively targeting.
We lack precise information about what 'splash damage' means in the game—whether it depends on the damage received from enemies, the damage dealt by your ship, or if it has a standard base damage that can increase with bonuses. We can speculate on two scenarios: Firstly, it might function as a reactive damage mechanism seen in other games, where your targeted ship deals a percentage of the damage it receives back to the attacker. Alternatively, in the second scenario, when the ship deals damage to a fleet, a percentage of that damage bounce to all nearby fleets.
In either scenario, it functions as a defensive skill that enhances your damage output when targeted by multiple enemies. To test its effectiveness, one could attack multiple Armed Freighters and observe the amount of HP lost from those not directly targeted.
Squad Raid
Squad Raids involve battling monsters in Monster Lairs with a group of 4 players. These groups can include players from other servers and gangs. Monster Lairs are available in various difficulty levels, offering rewarding loot upon successful defeat.
Stormbringer
It's an offensive orange ship specializing in Blazing and Drowning Damage, well-suited for Blazing and Drowning Heroes. It can be purchased with real money at the beginning of Season 2. It can also be crafted in Season 2 with in-game resources, but the quality will be randomly assigned as blue, purple, or orange. Check our detailed guide on Stormbringer here.
Strength (STR)
Strength is a Hero stat that adds 0.2% to the ship's attack, thereby increasing the overall attack power of the ship. It also determines the attack power of the hero.
Stronghold
Strongholds are the small beginner ports located on the edges of the map. A Gang must declare a Stronghold first in order to attack Sentry Towers and advance to other Ports. The main difference between Ports and Strongholds is that there are no specific conditions required to declare a Stronghold, as long as it is not under protected status. Additionally, only one stronghold can be claimed per map. The minimum declaration timer for Strongholds is 30 minutes, which means you need to declare a Stronghold and wait for at least 30 minutes before you can attack it.
Stun
The affected targets from this ability will be unable to move in the following turn.
Taking on Water
A status that causes Damage over Time. The affected targets will receive a Drowning Damage equal to 20% of the attacker's Attack every second in the following 5 seconds. The effect can stack up to 10 times.
The Council of Black Sails
The Council of Black Sails convenes following the capture of a Level 7 Port by a Gang. The Gang leader who claims ownership of the Level 7 Port ascends to the esteemed position of Pirate King. With this authority, the Pirate King appoints the remaining eight seats on the Council, selecting from trusted allies or unwanted adversaries within the server.
Here are the seats of the Council of Black Sails:
House of Lords:
-
Pirate King: DMG +3%, DMG Reduction +3%
-
Warden: DMG against Wanted targets +20%
-
Priest: Stargazing Rate +5%

-
Joker: Just left from the psychiatric house
-
Mole: No intel shall be leaked
Voyage of Four Seas
It's a daily event where you assign your Heroes to quests and receive rewards at the end of a timer. The most important quest is the orange one with an icon of a puzzle piece. You can assign two heroes to this quest, and when the timer is done, you receive 1 fragment of each hero that you assigned to this mission.
It's crucial to participate in this event daily because you'll collect fragments. Once you accumulate 50 fragments of a hero, you can upgrade their rank. It's advisable to send season-special heroes (like Bones, Griffin, Adeline, etc.) to this quest since they are harder to upgrade, as golden conches are more challenging to collect than pink conches.
Warhammer
It's an offensive orange ship specializing in Cutthroat Damage, well-suited for Cutthroat Heroes. It can be purchased with real money in Season 1. It can also be crafted in Season 2 with in-game resources, but the quality will be randomly assigned as blue, purple, or orange. Check our detailed guide on Warhammer here.
Wounded
The remaining HP is below 50% of the max HP.
