Best Trinkets

Best Hero Pairing for Chien

Old Ahab – His massive shield package and flagship focus stack perfectly with Chien’s damage reduction to create an absurdly durable frontline (See full build here). Rikiishi Yuji – He brings premium shield mechanics for a defensive flagship, letting Chien’s mitigation value stay alive longer (See full build here). Kenshiro – His heavy damage mitigation and reflection turn the same defensive ship into a punishment engine that complements Chien’s tankiness (See full build here). Magnus – Aggro pull plus shielding keeps pressure off the crew and lets Chien’s reduction effects work at full value (See full build here). Obi – He reduces damage and manipulates aggro, which is exactly what a Chien-led defensive flagship wants (See full build here). Callahan Durrach – His protection and shield kit adds another layer of survivability to the same tanky ship (See full build here). Tigrand – His enemy damage-dealt reduction amplifies the damage-suppression theme and fits a flagship support shell (See full build here). Elizabeth Sheen – Heal plus damage reduction gives Chien the sustain needed to survive longer fleet fights (See full build here). Cordelia – Her healing and dispel keep a defensive crew stable against debuffs while Chien soaks damage (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 Chien 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:
