Best Hero Pairing for Mad Dog

Verdania – Her top-tier Drowning damage and Jack flexibility make her the strongest pure synergy partner for Mad Dog. (See full build here). Kelvin Hobbes – He is a high-end Drowning Jack who keeps the ship fully on-archetype while adding strong damage pressure. (See full build here). Hamar Tornquist – As a Drowning Captain, he anchors the ship with the same damage type and benefits from Mad Dog’s faster skill cycling. (See full build here). Nebet Duman – She is a premium Drowning First Mate that rounds out a full Drowning crew very efficiently. (See full build here). Titus Slade – He is another Drowning First Mate who fits the same archetype and keeps the ship’s damage consistent. (See full build here). Barnacle – His Drowning Captain kit makes him a solid same-type option if you need a sturdier captain slot. (See full build here). Eileen – She is a cheap Drowning First Mate filler that still keeps the ship fully aligned on damage type. (See full build here). Cursed Ed – His universal damage amp and debuffs boost Mad Dog’s whole ship even though he is not Drowning. (See full build here). Tien – He adds strong fleet-wide utility and enemy debuffs, making the ship safer and more efficient. (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 Mad Dog 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:
