Best Hero Pairing for Kai

Hamar Tornquist – His Captain-only 5 Drowning kit is the cleanest anchor for a Kai-led drowning ship. (See full build here). Nebet Duman – Her 5 Drowning First Mate role lines up perfectly with Kai to keep the whole crew on the same damage type. (See full build here). Kelvin Hobbes – As a Jack Drowning hero he can flex into the missing slot and still keeps the ship fully on-theme. (See full build here). Verdania – Her Jack flexibility plus top-tier 5 Drowning damage makes her one of the strongest plug-ins for Kai’s ship. (See full build here). Barnacle – He is another Drowning Captain option that keeps the crew’s damage profile aligned and adds solid sustained pressure. (See full build here). Eileen – Her Drowning First Mate setup gives you more damage-over-time stacking to amplify Kai’s output. (See full build here). Titus Slade – He fits as a Drowning First Mate alternative when you want more direct synergy and extra damage layering. (See full build here). Laila – Her universal rage, healing and attack buffs supercharge Kai’s damage while keeping the ship alive longer. (See full build here). Cecilia Schafer – Her fleet-wide healing, buffs and rage debuff make her an elite Jack support for a hard-hitting drowning crew. (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 Kai 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:
