Atlas – Pirate Battle Tactics

Atlas Wiki Guides

Quick and Simple guide on the types of battle tactics in pirate naval warfare.

In this guide, I will demonstrate various techniques of possible methods of ship warfare. This guide will also be updated as more features in the game are revealed.

Keep in mind that I am not a specialist in ship warfare, therefore this guide may not be reliable. This guide has been made from the experience of previous pirate games.

These ideas were formed from personal gameplay, the trailer, and live streamers.

Pirate Battle Tactics

Ramming

Ramming is a tactic where your ship nose dives into the enemy’s ship. This will inflict a lot of damage to the enemy’s ship and you can also board their ship and kill everyone.

Boarding

F0E4637E03E0E90957C5C7DF34B2C72E8229B84C

Boarding is when your crew members jump from your ship to the enemy’s ship to kill everyone.

Grappling

F33570C29745D0391FA36E91E07C0D69BC12B114

This technique is an aid to board your enemy’s ship. You can also use grapples to level your ship with the enemy’s ship as well.

Flames

Although it may be expensive, using fire as a weapon can be deadly.

Surrender

45F06E19DE13281DB26D91C591AFA2FB51285303

Using manpower or weapon power can discourage your enemies. Achieving the enemy’s surrender minimizes your ship’s destruction and crew members’ deaths.

Fake Surrender

1739183FB2554EC2066CE0BB2ED8E1FDA5CCADC4

Fake surrender is when you je bait your enemies into thinking you are surrendering but really you are setting up a trap. This is a very risky method but if you feel like your enemies are not expecting it, go for it.

Creative Tactics

These are tactics that are not necessarily easy to do but they could be useful.

Cornering

165B1D882E23D1347960F3C2ECBC85BDDA0C28D2

Cornering consists of trapping your enemy’s ship into one direction and guiding it towards a solid object. In this case, the ship is being guided towards a small island where it will crash.
Stripping

B6DBD8E5D6B970FB3BE30E3B456502A47A460C95

Stripping is when you use your cannons to destroy the enemy’s navigation systems. An example is destroying the enemy’s sail so it slows down, thus making it a vulnerable target.

Baiting

FB25DB90F011EB86455E42215343AB7ACCA89E69

This tactic is when you trigger a monster and guide the monster to focus on your enemy or crash into your enemy. This requires a lot of skill…

Horse Jump

3B9BF970C528BAE05359F7E65688FA1BA4F69BF0

If the enemy’s ship is hard to board, ram, or grapple, use horses to jump in it!
