When building your Drowning ship in Sea of Conquest, you have several options when it comes to heroes and ship parts so I wanted to write this guide here to give you a clear ideal what is important to do.Drowning damage is a specific type of damage that has a damage-over-time part which is good as it ignore armor but also takes more time to really unfold.
Important! If you want to check how well the heroes in general perform in the current meta of Sea of Conquest, please check out my current tier list of all heroes here. Also really important is that you check out my overview where I have builds for all kinds of ships and damages that will help you build your formation: Check out all ship and hero formations in Sea of Conquest here.

Hamar Tornquist is your ideal captain for your drowing ship and actually the captain that puts drowing archetype more into the meta along Titus. – Verdania is a beast on all positions but in a perfect lineup he is placed in the Gunner position – Mari Itxaso scales off your ship with every Taking On Water effect and applies Bonus Damage that then even scales more
This is the perfect Drowing damage hero team setup if you want to run a ship with that type of damage in Sea of COnquest for me. Dealing a lot of damage and affecting multiple targets is a lot of fun and also effective.
Best Ship Parts
The Ship Parts need to fit the goal you want to achieve with your ship and make also an important part. Don’t just use the highest rarity or leveld ship parts here, use the ones that make the right set and ideally have the correct stats on them.

Best Ship Part Stats
Stats are contributed randomly on your ship parts, so this gives you sometimes the annoying quest of getting a couple items that fit. As soon as you have your set bonus as above ready, it’s time to refine it with ship parts of the right set that has ideally the main stat and 2 sub-stats fitting well. Here is the effects you’re looking for:

Conclusion
I hope this guide here helps you build your ships in your formation well as this is so important for your progress long-term. Don’t just randomly throw together heroes and ships of the highest rarity, build your ships for specific causes! Also, I will update this guide with new heroes released in the future so this will be your go-to guide to see what heroes and items to work on.
