Arrr, reference patch16.20.1

Arrr, strengths and limits

What Pyke does well, and what can go wrong

These be kit-level patterns, nay a promise that every course or matchup plays th' same way.

Arrr, good patterns

Arrr, threatens reachable priority targets through burst, mobility or an unusual angle.
Can create value through control, protection, setup or pressure that does nay depend only on personal doubloons.

Arrr, limits to respect

Arrr, a failed commitment can leave no clean exit and little value until cooldowns return.
Reduced income makes gear timing and seaworthy cooperation more booty fit fer th' captain's eye than on a solo-course carry.
Basic attacks require belay access, so foe range, slows and displacement can deny a clean trade.

Arrr, riot ally tips

Use these while learning th' champion

Pyke be very fragile so don't be afraid to temporarily run from a fight. Ye can regenerate a significant amount o' hull from Gift o' th' Drowned Ones when enemies can't see ye.

Hitting an foe wit' th' Hold version o' Bone Skewer will always pull them th' same distance. Use it in melee range to throw targets astern o' ye.

Th' Tap version o' Bone Skewer be much faster and deals additional damage.

Riot foe tips

What an foe be told to watch fer

Pyke regenerates a significant amount o' damage he has taken from foe champions, but only when ye can't see him!

When Pyke be hidden nigh th' ship in his Ghostwater Dive, sharks will circle underneath yer feet.

Try nay to stand nigh low hull crewmates. If Pyke executes them using Death From Below, ye might be next aboard on th' list.

Arrr, practical champion reading

Arrr, how to read Pyke in a real fight

Use these patterns to ask better questions afore choosing an gear, target or commitment. They describe th' kit, nay a promised result.

Arrr, damage delivery

Arrr, primarily physical pressure

Armour can reduce th' broad physical profile. Separate basic attacks from physical tricks afore relying on an gear passive that only affects attacks.

Arrr, fight rhythm

Track th' shipshape trick cycle

Do nay judge th' champion from one control. Watch which setup, payoff and escape tools be available afore choosing a trade or commitment.

Arrr, range and access

Needs belay access fer basic attacks

Range, slows, displacement and terrain can deny th' clean contact this champion wants. Course th' course in as carefully as th' damage after arrival.

Typical crew job

Enable crewmates and control access

Protection, setup and ship's intelligence can matter more booty than personal damage. Position so th' next aboard useful spell can reach th' ally or target that needs it.

Control inspect

Identify th' exact movement restriction

Tenacity can shorten only eligible control. Displacements, airborne effects and repeated slows need their own positioning, blocking or movement captain's answer.

Arrr, protection and sustain

Inspect whether recovery changes th' fight

Anti-heal or anti-shielding be situational. Buy it only when th' effect be materially protecting targets and yer champion can apply th' captain's answer reliably.

Arrr, resource pattern

Arrr, mana and cooldowns both matter

A spell being available does nay mean th' shipshape sequence be sustainable. Watch th' resource bar as well as th' setup and escape cooldowns.

Defensive gear reference

What can help against Pyke?

Set sail wit' th' threat that be actually affecting th' clash. These be conditional comparisons, nay an automatic counter loadout.

Pre-battle choices

Arrr, dEFENSIVE BOOTS

Neither pair be automatic

This champion be nay cleanly answered by th' passive on either defensive pair.

Use Plated Steelcaps fer meaningful basic attacks, Mercury's Treads fer magic damage or reducible control, or keep th' loadout's normal Boots.

Arrr, reducible controlDisplacementArrr, healing or sustainHull-scaling or true damage

Arrr, pHYSICAL DEFENCE

Arrr, physical defence

Armour · hull · role-appropriate defence

Armour can reduce physical damage, but Plated Steelcaps' passive be specific to attacks.

Clash th' gear to attacks, critical strikes or trick burst rather than buying armour from th' label alone.

Arrr, cONTROL AND ONE KEY SPELL

Arrr, control and one key spell

Arrr, Mercury's Treads · Quicksilver Sash · Banshee's Veil · Edge of Night

Tenacity and a removable-control active can lend a hand agin' th' relevant disabling effects. Airborne and displacement effects be nay solved simply by stacking Tenacity.

Inspect th' present tooltip and whether th' exact effect can be shortened, removed or blocked.

Arrr, mEANINGFUL HEALING

Arrr, meaningful healing

Arrr, bramble Vest or Thornmail · Morellonomicon · Mortal Reminder

A role-appropriate Grievous Wounds gear can reduce healing.

Buy it only when healing be materially changing fights and yer champion can apply it reliably.

Arrr, hEALTH-SCALING OR TRUE DAMAGE

Hull-scaling or true damage

Shields · sustain · positioning · exact resistance inspect

Raw hull or one resistance may be incomplete agin' percent-hull, lost overboard-hull or true-damage mechanics.

Read th' present trick tooltip afore choosing defence; these mechanics do nay all use th' same counter.
