Our detailed tier list will serve as your compass during this traveling journey.
Best Ship Weapons in Skull and Bones
S-Tier: Bombards
At the top of our tier ranking bombards reign supreme. This weapon class stands out by its unusual area-of-effect (AoE) splash damage, which can strike multiple parts of an against ship, including weak areas. Bombards are highly accepting of poor aiming, allowing for fast run of shots before requiring a reload, making them excellent for swift deadly attacks.
S-Tier: Mortars
Mortars, categorized as auxiliary weaponry, find a home on medium-sized ships like the Padewakang. Holding the keybind or button creates a circular targeting area on the water, allowing for more precise bombardments. Patience is a must because the bullet takes time to reach its objective, requiring careful prediction of your target's moves.
S-Tier: Demi-Cannons
Demi-cannons, like shotguns excel in close-quarters combat, delivering a powerful punch when close to a target. These cannons are best used as broadside weapons and prove handy when diving straight into the center of a sea battle.
A-Tier: Ballistae
Ballistae, fixed to the bow slot are a convenient draw-and-shoot machine for medium-range fights. Their attraction is that there are no reloading animations, so you can fire off an endless supply of projectiles. a great option when maintaining a strategic distance is needed.
A-Tier: Torpedoes
Torpedoes, despite their difficult nature, earn an A-tier ranking for their efficacy in the stern slot. Torpedoes become a strategic decision since they predict the AI's expected straight-line motions and deal crucial damage with well-placed shots.
B-Tier: Sea Fires
Sea fires, when confined to the bow slot release a furious stream of flames creating a high-risk, high-reward scenario. While they are effective at close range, their limited targeting skills and vulnerability to surrounding threats place them in the B-tier.
B-Tier: Culverins
Culverins are the default weaponry for freshly acquired ships, with an average range and damage. Although functional, better alternatives push them to the B-tier.
B-Tier: Rockets
Auxiliary-type rockets are less effective than mortars. While effective in close-to-medium-range tasks, its proclivity for missing targets and limited reticle visibility places them squarely in the B-tier.
C-Tier: Hunting Spear
The hunting spear resides on the Dhow, the smallest and least powerful ship in the game which is the lowest tier. We classify it as a C-tier weapon despite acknowledging its existence as a weapon with limited application.
