In preparation for the Dark Sea where we’ll have to frequently face off against giant-sized Atlanteans, each probably with thousands of health and huge attacks, let’s exchange some tips and tricks for fighting ship crews easier (pirates, ravenna soldiers, grand navy marines, etc.) I have always struggled with pirate captains, so I can’t imagine soloing an entire ship of enemies equal to power in power to them.
pick them off at range
Usually when a captain is too strong, I use Pillar Explosions and camp at the Crow’s Nest of the Caravel (Or I just airstall and spam down moves without pillar explosions)
But then the Brig doesn’t have a Crow’s Nest along with Atlanteans having more atk size and having the chance to be bigger, so I think it’s best to always keep high ground and spam down moves
There’s probably an option of camping on the nearest Dark Sea Island so you don’t have to be cramped fighting on your Brig, getting the Atlanteans to a Dark Sea Island and abusing its geography might also be a valid strategy
Other than that, I think potion abuse is really needed here, prob Agility Potions and Healing Potions

On ships, the only direction to go is up. Up you shall go if you want to avoid anything. Failing that, bring a shield if you can use it and block when things get dicey.
I often start with an ultimate art to remove most of the regular crew and to take a big chunk of health off the captain and quartermaster
Most players don’t have ultimate arts sadly, but starting with your strongest attack is a good idea.

Yeah generally anything strong and with a large aoe will work.

You generally have to pick them off at a decent range and clear off any of their fodders so you don’t get clumped by them.
And don’t face off any captains that can m1 they’re pretty damaging even if they’re not level 125 or above.
And If you ever see a weapons gun user whether it’s a captain or a quartermaster IMMEDIATELY GET RID OF THEM they’re going to kill you with aimbot, I know from experience.
deal as much damage to them as possible on your first attack, then airstall as much as you can because THEY DO SO MUCH DAMAGE
keep moving in the air too with dodge reflexes or something

Ah yes ship captains with huge metal AoEs, the boss which never was. Usually I test my luck in the anywhere between the 20 and 4 fps I get fighting them and spam pulsars, blasts, piercing gales etc.
do not and for the love of god do not let them come near you, npc’s lmb is scary
If taking around 5% of your health didn’t stagger you for a split second they might be manageable since you would be able to just press T. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work most of the time.
tank everything with 4000+ hp
giant white eyes will one shot you
i wonder if different seas would have stronger variants of sea monsters ( or at least the white eyes ) cause end game players would probably be able to deal with a white eyes relatively easy lol
not if I block
it will still one shot you
I use culvrins to fight enemy ship npc since they have long range and i can hit them pretty well, if your accuracy is good thwn culvrins is your options to fight any ship enemies
