Best Hero Pairing for Armstrong

Elizabeth Sheen – Her Heal + % Red kit stacks perfectly with Armstrong’s reduction-focused flagship plan and keeps the ship alive longer (See full build here). Obi – His % Red and aggro-pull style makes him the cleanest defensive First Mate partner for Armstrong (See full build here). Linea – She brings Heal + % Red, giving Armstrong the exact same defensive damage theme plus sustain (See full build here). Chien – All-ship damage reduction is ideal for a flagship built around Armstrong soaking hits (See full build here). Old Ahab – His huge shields make Armstrong’s aggro tanking much harder to break through (See full build here). Rikiishi Yuji – Shield stacking on Captain is a strong fit for the same defensive flagship core (See full build here). Callahan Durrach – More shielding rounds out Armstrong’s protection-heavy setup without conflicting tags (See full build here). Tigrand – Enemy damage reduction and debuffs help Armstrong hold aggro and survive longer (See full build here). Cordelia – Her healing and dispel are excellent for keeping Armstrong’s ship stable in longer fights (See full build here).

Ship Parts in Sea of Conquest belong to different sets and have random stats on them and although you equip them on your ships, they need to compliment the heroes you*re using. So, when runngin Armstrong these are the sets you should aim for:

Before you upgrade ANY ship part, make sure to check here if it has stats that fit:
