In the treacherous waters of Skull and Bones, where notorious pirates carve their names in history, the expansion of deadly fleets reigns supreme. Delve into the arsenal of all ten unlockable ship classes, each bestowed upon those who rise in notoriety, with distinct capabilities shaping their battlefield roles.
Skull and Bones: Core ship classes and specialities
Skull and Bones introduces three primary vessel archetypes, tailored for strategic dominance: the agile damage-dealers, resilient tanks, and invaluable support vessels.
Damage-dealers: Ships like the Blaster Sloop and Bombardier rain havoc with devastating barrages, relying on evasive manoeuvres or ranged combat due to their modest armour.
Tanks: Dominated by vessels like the Hullbreaker, these imposing ships boast formidable defences and crowd control capabilities, surviving blows that would shatter lesser boats.
Support ships: Masters of battlefield triage, support vessels excel in repairing breaches and providing restorative supplies from the safety of the rear lines, ensuring the longevity of their allies.
