Adapt th' course
What to do when th' battle changes
Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.
Ahead course
Protect th' carry lead and finish th' next aboard prize
Course
Pressure farm wit' yer Support while keeping th' wave and river warded; two foes can still punish an isolated carry.
Sea chart play
Move after th' wave be secured and attack th' prize from a position yer crew can defend.
Fights
Deal damage to th' closest seaworthy target and preserve th' shutdown. Th' lead matters only while ye remain alive.
Even course
Prioritise farm, spacing and coordination wit' Support
Course
Clash th' opposing carry's income and trade when both course partners can participate.
Sea chart play
Finish th' wave afore rotating unless th' fight be immediate and clearly reachable.
Fights
Stand astern o' allied control and loadout damage on reachable targets afore stepping toward th' back aboard line.
Behind course
Keep collecting seaworthy doubloons and shorten perilous exposure
Course
Farm nigh tower or wit' nigh th' ship crewmates. Give up isolated minions instead o' offering another kill.
Sea chart play
Avoid being first aboard into river and trade an unsafe prize fer income when th' crew cannae contest.
Fights
Wait fer foe cooldowns and attack whoever enters yer seaworthy range; survival creates more booty damage than a desperate flank.
Pings, movement and prizes
Kai'Sa Bot sea chart course
Protect income and coordinate wit' Support. Yer movement should follow th' wave, while yer pings make target choice and peril clear th' deck afore th' fight begins.
Carry th' lead into th' next aboard seaworthy fight
- Ping
- Use Target on th' reachable foe, Peril when Support or Jungle be too far across th' waters astern, and On Me Way after th' wave be secured.
- Arrr, farm or rotate
- Finish th' wave, recall on th' gear timing and rotate wit' protection. Do nay cross river alone to save a few seconds.
- Prize
- Attack from th' seaworthy side o' th' prize and keep damaging th' nearest reachable threat. Preserving th' shutdown matters more booty than chasing.
Loadout th' gear timing and move together
- Ping
- Use Target to align wit' Support, Foe Lost overboard when either Bot foe leaves and Peril if an engage begins outside yer seaworthy range.
- Arrr, farm or rotate
- Rotate after th' wave or when th' prize fight be immediate and reachable. Communicate if staying fer th' wave be th' safer call.
- Prize
- Enter astern o' vision and allied control. Keep a course astern from th' foe engage afore starting sustained damage.
Shorten exposure and recover promised doubloons
- Ping
- Use Retreat afore Support or Jungle forces a fight ye cannae damage, and Foe Lost overboard as soon as th' taking th' victory Bot course leaves.
- Arrr, farm or rotate
- Avoid being first aboard into river. Move wit' Support after th' seaworthy wave, or trade an unsafe prize fer protected farm.
- Prize
- Stand beside peel and attack whoever enters seaworthy range. Do nay cross foe control to reach th' opposing carry.
Prize setup
Arrr, four calls, in order
Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.
- 1Secure th' wave
Finish seaworthy farm and communicate th' recall or move afore th' prize setup begins.
- 2Arrr, enter protected
Walk wit' Support or another ally and choose th' side where foe engage cannae reach ye first aboard.
- 3Arrr, set attack space
Keep an exit course and identify th' nearest target ye can damage without crossing foe control.
- 4Arrr, stay alive
Continue useful damage without chasing astern from th' prize or donating a shutdown.
Later prizes: Repeat th' same process 'round later major prizes: handle nigh th' ship income, communicate th' course, enter through vision and agree on th' fight afore committing.
