Does it lower the potential DMG you get from waves, sea monsters, or other ships, or is it purely miscellaneous? I haven’t been able to find out from trying it out, so I’m looking for an answer here.
It’s basically the block button but for your ship, it was added during the dark sea update so the constant damage from waves whirlpools and rough sea would be manageable
(Of course high stability brigs and weather resistant deckhand artifacts it’s already manageable, but bracing is a really useful feature to have)
