Preparing for Melee Combat with Custom Gear

Choosing Swords and Armor Sets

When battles become too close for cannon fire, equip gear specifically designed for boarding actions and deck defense. The mod adds three distinct armor sets and three swords. Equip a full armor set to protect yourself against enemy strikes during heated engagements.

Close-Quarters Fighting on the Deck

Wielding one of the three modded swords provides custom attack animations and sound effects during melee combat. When engaging enemy crews or repelling boarders:

• Use the ship rigging to climb above opponents, providing an advantageous angle to drop down into combat.
• Fight in tandem with your recruited sailors, protecting them so they can continue leveling up while helping clear the deck.
• Combine your mobility around ship cabins and railings with well-timed strikes to defeat enemy pirates up close.
