Best Modules And Cannons For Your Ship In Rogue Waters

Best Modules for your ship in Rogue Waters

Equipping your ship with modules that boost your crew’s health and movement is one of the best strategies in Rogue Waters, especially during tougher battles. Extra health points give your crew more survivability, allowing them to take more hits while staying in the fight longer. This is crucial when facing larger enemy crews that can overwhelm you with numbers. With a crew that has higher HP, you have more time to execute your strategies and can afford a few mistakes without losing your specialists early on. But it’s not just about defense - being able to move more squares during combat also gives you a huge advantage. Increased mobility lets your crew move further during the start of a ship battle, which could position them right next to your enemies and give you a shot at taking them out faster. In a game where positioning is everything, the ability to move freely makes your crew far more dangerous on the battlefield. I won’t only be focusing on HP and Movement modules, though. In the table below, you’ll find an abundance of modules for your ship that I have used and benefitted from in my own game. These can protect your crew, power up certain specialists, and more.

Best cannons for your ship in Rogue Waters

When it comes to sea battles in Rogue Waters, choosing the right cannons for your ship can make or break your chances of victory. Avoid cannons with a damage range that starts at zero. While they might seem tempting for their higher potential damage, they’re far more likely to misfire than land a hit. Misfires don’t hurt your ship, but they waste valuable Command Points, which could be better spent on more reliable cannons. Always aim for cannons with a damage range that starts at one. Even if the damage is lower, knowing you’ll consistently deal some damage is far more useful than gambling on cannons that often do nothing. Another fun aspect of the game is plundering cannons from enemy ships after you defeat them. You can see which cannon you’ll get by hovering over a raid map target before heading into battle, so it’s worth planning ahead if you’re in need of new firepower. Cannons can also be bought at certain ports, giving you even more options to customize your loadout. To equip more cannons at the start of a raid, you’ll need to unlock the relevant upgrades in your Workshop.

Tips for using your cannons during sea battles

Cannons can only be used during sea battles - this is when you and your enemy are still on your ships and you spend three turns firing cannons at each other. Cannons can be used to damage other cannons, your enemy’s modules, and even kill their crew members before you board their ship. Struggling to do any meaningful damage during sea battles?
