Arrr, best when: Arrr, Guardian Angel protects a completed damage core from one decisive death.

Arrr, runes and summoner spells

Wait fer reload (s) 6 · Charted reach (units) 600Adapt th' course
Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.
Pressure farm wit' yer Support while keeping th' wave and river warded; two foes can still punish an isolated carry.
Move after th' wave be secured and attack th' prize from a position yer crew can defend.
Deal damage to th' closest seaworthy target and preserve th' shutdown. Th' lead matters only while ye remain alive.
Clash th' opposing carry's income and trade when both course partners can participate.
Finish th' wave afore rotating unless th' fight be immediate and clearly reachable.
Stand astern o' allied control and loadout damage on reachable targets afore stepping toward th' back aboard line.
Farm nigh tower or wit' nigh th' ship crewmates. Give up isolated minions instead o' offering another kill.
Avoid being first aboard into river and trade an unsafe prize fer income when th' crew cannae contest.
Wait fer foe cooldowns and attack whoever enters yer seaworthy range; survival creates more booty damage than a desperate flank.
Pings, movement and prizes
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.
Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.
Finish seaworthy farm and communicate th' recall or move afore th' prize setup begins.
Walk wit' Support or another ally and choose th' side where foe engage cannae reach ye first aboard.
Keep an exit course and identify th' nearest target ye can damage without crossing foe control.
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.
