Best Build for Barnacle in Sea of Conquest

There are a couple of things to mind when building Barnacle in Sea of Conquest to work well in your formations, what ship parts to use, what ships to use with, what stats you need on your ship parts and also what other heroes to pair with.

You’re in the right place, below you will find answer to each one of those questions and this will help you make your Barnacle perfrom as strong as possible while not mindlessly pumping endless resources into building the hero.

Chain of Bombs increases attack without any conditions which scales also with this hero kit well. Spyglass increases attack without any conditions which scales also with this hero kit well.

Best Hero Pairing for Barnacle

Mad Dog as the Gunner with Barnacle makes absolutely sense with the way they deal the Drowning damage and profit with their passives from each others Taking-on Water damage over time effect on the targets (See full build here).

Eileen is a great First Mate position hero with Barnacle as the captain and like Mad Dog, profits a lot from the Taking-on Water effect but also contributes it so the other Drowning Damage heroes can use more of their passive scaling (See full build here).

Cursed Ed inreases all damage types so he naturally also works great with this hero. You can use it with every formation but if you can, I might rather use him on another ship for more effect. Remember, his target debuff also works when he is on another ship (See full build here).

Jango makes the heroes on your ship with Barnacle use their skills more often and apply their damage over tie more often that, at the end of the day, do quite a big junk of the total damage so he can always be on board if you’re short one Drowning Damage hero (See full build here).

Best Ship Parts

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 Barnacle these are the sets you should aim for:

But there is more you have to mind! Every Ship Part, depending on the rarity, will get several attributes that are randomly assigned when collecting it – and they are so important and just the right set means nothing without the fitting stats on it. Before you upgrade ANY ship part, make sure to check here if it has stats that fit:
