When building your Strategic 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.Strategic damage is not as burstful as cutthroat damage or affecting as many targets as artillery damage but a solid damage source between them. Consider it as ‘normal’ damage.
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.

Vantanos is your Captain – he is a SP hero with incredible strategic burst damage you wouldn’t believe – Kalomira is by far the craziest hero in terms of what she does here and has to be on any strategic ship if you have her built – Fung is the perfect fit for the Gunner position and will elevate this setup by a lot with his amazing kit of skills.
This is the perfect hero setup for a ship that deals strategic damage but there are a few adjustments you can make in terms of heroes.
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.
