Sea of Conquest: Pirate War Fleet Tactics for X10 Alliance Wars

To win large-scale X10 cross-server engagements in Sea of Conquest: Pirate War, move your fleet as a synchronized alliance block rather than fighting isolated skirmishes. Victory in Season 16 server wars relies on spatial discipline, focus fire execution, and managing hero skill cooldowns as a unit.

Maintain Fleet Formations and Map Control

Clustering your alliance’s ships forces the enemy to engage your full force at once, preventing opponent groups from picking off isolated vessels.

• Follow Target Callers: Keep your flagship positioned near allied vessels and commit immediately to designated combat coordinates provided in alliance chat.
• Control Narrow Passages: Use terrain map features to funnel enemy forces into choke points where your alliance's specific fleet setup—such as artillery range or boarding setups—holds the advantage.
• Anchor Near Objectives: Stay tethered to primary targets like ports or resource nodes. Avoid chasing retreating single targets into enemy territory, which exposes your ship to ambushes.
• Mitigate AoE Skill Damage: Tight formations increase your alliance's vulnerability to Area of Effect (AoE) attacks. Ensure support units cycle defensive and healing hero skills as soon as the frontline clashes.

Focus Fire and Target Prioritization

Spreading damage across an entire enemy fleet allows opposing players to cycle defensive abilities and heal back to full health. Focus fire eliminates enemy ships quickly, turning even fights into numerical advantages.

1. Identify Vulnerable Targets: Prioritize enemy ships that are already damaged or out of position rather than attacking the nearest tank vessel.
2. Bypass Frontline Tanks: Coordinated alliance groups often protect damage-dealing vessels behind durable ships. Use alliance chat to mark high-threat backline targets.
3. Synchronize Burst Cooldowns: Time your fleet's major attack skills together to eliminate selected targets before they can retreat or receive healing.

Rotate Damaged Vessels and Manage Cooldowns

Sustaining a prolonged fight depends on hero skill management and tactical retreats. Losing a ship creates a temporary numerical disadvantage for your entire server coalition.

• Execute "Tag-Out" Rotations: When your main healer skills are on cooldown or your ship takes heavy damage, pull back to the rear line and allow a healthy teammate to absorb incoming fire.
• Prioritize Extraction Over Kills: If your ship reaches critical health, fall back immediately to survive and maintain your utility rather than risking destruction for a final hit.
• Max Stats Prior to Events: Ensure all fleet components, ship parts, and hero bonds are fully upgraded during event downtime, as tactical positioning cannot completely overcome a massive stat deficit.
