To maximize combat power in Sea of Conquest: Pirate War, unlock passive stat bonuses through the Hero Bond system. Open the hero menu, check the Bond tab for each owned character, and focus resources on partners that increase core fleet damage and survival. Level secondary bond-link heroes only to the exact threshold required to activate a tier, then return your remaining upgrade materials to primary captains.
How Hero Bonds Work
Hero Bonds provide passive synergies that grant percentage-based stat buffs across your fleet. Unlocking a hero adds them to your collection, which counts toward activating bond requirements for your active captains even if the secondary hero is not assigned to your flagship.
Because percentage bonuses scale higher as your roster levels up, collecting a wide array of characters increases overall fleet strength more consistently than focusing entirely on a single unit.
Hero Bond Upgrade Sequence
Prioritize offensive and defensive multipliers over minor utility buffs when assigning upgrade materials to hero connections.
- Open the hero interface and locate your primary damage dealers.
- Select the Bond tab to identify all required character pairings for those captains.
- Filter bond options by stat boost type, prioritizing percentage increases for Attack and Defense.
- Level secondary bond-link characters only to the minimum tier requirement needed to trigger the passive synergy.
- Direct all leftover experience points, skill materials, and hero badges back into your active flagship captains.
- Re-check the bond menu after pulling any new legendary or seasonal heroes to update active synergies.
Managing Resources and Seasonal Bonds
Investing heavily in low-tier heroes strictly for secondary bonds creates an opportunity cost that can slow down flagship maintenance and hero badge progression.
- Secondary Roster Utility: Choose bonds that feature heroes you intend to assign to secondary fleets or defensive roles, ensuring your investment serves multiple operational purposes.
- Seasonal Updates: Major patches and event banners frequently introduce seasonal bonds tailored to specific event obstacles or defensive checks. Review your bond menu after major updates to adjust priorities before investing in temporary synergies.
