Unlocked at lv 18. Unlimited Access only. That's all of the ammo types and there features etc __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ You gain additional Ammo slots at these lvs lv 2 lv 6 lv 17. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ What the different colored sails mean: Red sails mean light ships Green sails mean normal ships. Blue sails mean war ships orange sails mean war ships with more health than normal. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ An easy strategy: At lv 2 don't buy targeted ammo unless you are having a lot of trouble aiming because targeted ammo does half of what round shot does and costs money when round shot is free. Save up for mine ammo. At lv 4 Don't buy smoke bomb ammo unless you actually intend to use them if you don't just wait for mine ammo its a lot more helpful. At lv 5 buy Mine ammo and shoot the mines in the water, they will float there and explode when hit by an enemy ships and take a large portion of their hull. A trick I like to do is switch between mine and round shot because the ammo types load individually set out as many mines as possible and use round shot This strategy will usually get you to at least round 12. At lv 10 you should buy powder keg ammo but use it sparingly like when there are a lot of red and orange sails. (Powder kegs are like mine ammo but better.) Feel free to post your own tips or tactics or if i forgot something tell me and I will correct it. p.s on some of the ammo types I didn't have enough information to complete the details if you know them please tell me and i will add them. |
Wow pretty good guild there!

Alright, first of all bullet is unlocked at 11.
Now here is MY strategy to get really high, but you NEED good accuracy. This usually works for all types of combination teams. Don't spend anything until you get powder keg ammo. Then when you hit 11 get bullet ammo, BUT USE IT SPARINGLY. Same with Kegs. When you hit 18 get Firestorm, it is like a keg, only weaker but has an after burn effect plus the effect where you hit a ship with it, while a keg is shot into water, then shot at again with another type of ammo. I suggest when you get very high ( about 3000 banknotes ) start to use bullet as your round ammo. You may use alot at a time, but hit shift to bring out the ammo bar in order to get the ammo right when you run out. As to WHEN you use firestorm and the kegs, use it when you have a big amount of groups of ships. For firestorm try to hit the ship in the center, while kegs try to get all the ships into the blast range/radius. Be SURE you do NOT move the cannon after you shoot the keg, so you can hit it with round. As to accuracy gurantee with firestorm, shoot afew rounds at a ship, make contact and then shoot a firestorm and then switch back. Very helpful. As to ammo info here it is. starting from bullet: 3 rounds, allowed to hold 50 bullets. Quick and powerful. Cold shot you have info. Bombs I can't remember for sure, it's kinda like a weak fire storm with no afterburn. One per shooting. Shark bait: That's an INSTANT SINK if you can hit them with it, hold 6. Firestorm: Creates a firestorm hitting any ships near the main contact with the ship also causing after damage/afterburn. |
Thank you for the corrections and the tips.

My regular cannon build affects my navy cannon defense damage, yes? Is that why I can only seem to do damage with round shot? All other ammo types seem useless, for me, in cannon defense.
|
Yes your regular cannon build affects cannon defense too. I tested it with the shoot skill on cannon and maxed it out and it shot faster on cannon defense too. I'm not sure if it works with all skills though.
|
Tip: When you shoot a Powder Keg ahead of a vessel, for example, a Heavy War Frigate, the ship will run over it. Move it from it's path to to critical damage. I learned that.
And when you reach Navy Cannon 20, the cannon transforms into a Repeater Cannon. |
Note that only shoot, barrage, shrapnel and rapid reload effect cannon defense for your regular cannon build.

Shark bait: That's an INSTANT SINK if you can hit them with it, hold 6.
[/QUOTE] Hold 6? Whats does it do? |
You hold 6 shark bait ammo.
|
Every time I start the game I go in at level 1 each time I go in... is that normal for it?
|
Very nice guide! :D +Rep.

roger sword shot level 45 MASTERS IN SWORDS
Nice strategy i will use it. Just one thing though: smoke shot is useless, i mean, why slow them down when you can sink them? also, use target shot on ships that are getting away, other wise don't use them. hope this helps :D

Thanks for the tips. What rewards did you get at that high level?
