Tier list
Ship tier list (Story Mode)
Hull priority for the first island arc. Rankings assume you pick one Compass pair and stick to it.
S
Moonlight
First Notoriety prowler most captains build. Better stats than Landlubber without a huge material bill.
S
Iron Fist
Reliable Empire destroyer for Crown gun checks once you accept slower legs.
A
Tide Runner
Seafaring hunter for chase scripts. Needs crew quality before it feels safe.
A
Sharktooth
Wealth reaver when events reward boarding damage over gun duels.
B
Azimuth
Flexible prowler upgrade if you hate swapping hulls between mixed nodes.
B
Steel Edge
Hybrid destroyer for captains running Empire plus Seafaring together.
C
Landlubber
Tutorial hull only. Retire after the first pier chapter unless the node is trivial.
