To succeed in the Naval Battle event on a new Call Me Emperor server, concentrate your highest-power military ministers on your lead flagship and attack predictable pirate targets you can sink cleanly. Early-server accounts lack the total monarch power needed to defeat elite ships quickly, making failed battles and wasted fleet stamina the primary reasons players fall behind on event leaderboards.
Assigning Ministers to Fleet Positions
Fleet combat power depends directly on your assigned ministers and ship upgrades. Naval battles favor high burst damage in round one; eliminating an enemy quickly minimizes the damage your ships sustain and prevents expensive repairs.
Do not spread your strongest military officers across auxiliary boats. Consolidate your power into a defined vanguard:
| Deployment Slot | Recommended Minister Type | Priority Attributes | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flagship (Lead) | Primary Military Specialist | Raw Military, High Talent Stars | Maximum round-one burst damage |
| Vanguard Ship | Secondary Hybrid / Balanced | Balanced Military & Fortune | Sustained damage and support scoring |
| Flank / Reserve | Support or Secondary Pool | Politics, Intellect, Leftover Pool | Cleaning up damaged scout vessels |
Keep under-leveled or non-military ministers on reserve boats. Use these auxiliary ships strictly to clear low-threat nodes or patrol open water rather than challenging high-health pirate formations.
Choosing Targets: Scouts vs. Elite Flagships
Every engagement consumes fleet stamina or cannon supplies. Failing an encounter awards only minimal consolation score while throwing away stamina that could have guaranteed points elsewhere.
- Low-Tier Pirate Scouts: These basic targets require the lowest stamina to fight and have modest defensive ratings. On early servers, prioritize these scouts to secure consistent event score and reward bundles with zero risk of a fleet wipe.
- Corsair Fleets and Elite Flagships: Elite vessels offer larger point payouts, but their high armor and deep health pools pose serious risks. Only attack an elite target if your flagship's combat power exceeds the recommended threshold by 15% to 20%. If your fleet fails to sink an elite ship in one attempt, rival players can finish it off and claim the final-blow bonus, stripping away the value of your invested stamina.
Managing Stamina and World Boss Spawns
Stamina regenerates naturally up to a hard cap. Letting your stamina remain capped wastes event points that cannot be recovered later.
- Spend natural stamina before it caps: Log in throughout the day and exhaust your stamina on safe pirate targets during off-peak periods.
- Save reserve stamina for the event boss: When the scheduled server-wide boss appears, divert your fleet to attack it immediately. Boss battles grant milestone damage chests and participation points regardless of whether your account can deliver the finishing blow.
- Limit ingot stamina refills: The ingot cost for stamina refills rises with each purchase. Free-to-play and light-spending players should buy only the first one or two daily tiers, which offer the most favorable ratio of ingots to ranking points.
Naval Exchange Shop Priorities
Reinvest your earned battle points directly into permanent monarch progression rather than short-term consumables.
- High-Talent Skill Scrolls: Buy military and general talent scrolls first. Raising minister talent stars delivers permanent stat scaling across all game modes, improving performance in future naval cycles.
- Potential Fruits and Attribute Tomes: Direct these items into your primary military minister to expand their base attributes.
- Vitality and Energy Pills: Use secondary balances for these pills to generate extra consort visits and heir training cycles, which raise your overall national power.
- Items to Avoid: Skip basic silver packs, grain, and decorative chat frames. Basic resources are easily gathered through regular palace levies, while cosmetics provide no structural power advantage on a young server.

Good guide for Call Me Emperor players. The strategy part was useful.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
