Mastering the Kraken Killer Build in Skull and Bones with the Frigot
Understanding the Frigot: A Massive Ship for Kraken Slaying
The Frigot is one of the larger ships in Skull and Bones and is built for heavy combat. If you've never used the Frigot before, you're in for a real treat. This ship is tanky, has high damage output, and is perfect for tackling the Kraken's monstrous tentacles.
Ship Stats:
Health: 154,800
Brace Strength: 41,020
Speed: 13
Trimming Speed: 17
These base stats might seem average at first glance, but the Frigot shines with its sheer damage potential and durability. The ship's defensive traits, like its Grit and Resolve, provide crucial support during Kraken battles. Grit helps maintain your control even under heavy fire, while Resolve boosts your overall durability, ensuring you can tank through prolonged fights.
Weapons of Mass Destruction: Customizing the Frigot's Arsenal
When it comes to facing off against the Kraken, you'll need more than just raw strength-you need the right weaponry to deal significant damage and stay out of danger. The Frigot's weapon setup includes a mixture of cannons, auxiliary, and armor that together create a highly effective build.
Cannons and Main Weapons
Storm Tongue Cannons:
Damage: 3,640
Reload: 6 seconds
Modifications: Rupturing, Siege, and Long Arm
Placement: Port and Starboard
These cannons are the bread and butter of the Frigot's offensive capabilities. With a reload time of just 6 seconds and the ability to fire Rupturing shots, these cannons deal consistent and significant damage to Kraken tentacles, as well as enemy ships.
The Siege mod allows you to break through defensive armor, while Long Arm extends your range, allowing you to hit Kraken tentacles from further away.
Thunder Dragon Cannon:
Damage: 3,290
Reload: 3.5 seconds
Modifications: Sharpened Siege, Amplified Piercing
Placement: Stern
The Thunder Dragon Cannon is your secret weapon for quick and accurate shots. With a lightning-fast reload time, this cannon is perfect for targeting Kraken tentacles that are hard to hit. The Sharpened Siege mod increases your ability to damage the Kraken's tough armor, while Amplified Piercing ensures that even the Kraken's most resilient parts take a beating.
Auxiliary: Boosting Your Frigot's Performance
A well-equipped auxiliary can make or break a Kraken fight. In this build, we're focusing on maximizing both your repair capabilities and reload efficiency.
Little Grace (Repair):
Repair Amount: 3,856
Modifications: Rapid Reload, Restorative, and Empower
The Little Grace auxiliary boosts your repair capacity significantly, ensuring that you can maintain your ship's durability during intense Kraken battles. The Rapid Reload modifier reduces downtime between shots, while Restorative ensures that your ship's health is continuously restored. The Empower modification increases the effectiveness of your repairs, giving you a fighting chance in prolonged fights.
Armor: Ensuring Longevity in Battle
No matter how strong your weapons are, if your ship can't withstand the damage, you'll be sunk before you can finish off the Kraken. To counter this, we've equipped the Nocturn Heart armor with several critical modifiers.
Nocturn Heart Armor:
Modifiers: Resistor, Maintenance, Survivor
The Resistor modifier reduces incoming damage from elemental attacks, which is especially useful when dealing with the Kraken's poison and other environmental hazards. Maintenance allows for faster repairs, giving you the edge during prolonged engagements. Survivor ensures that even when your ship is near destruction, it can continue to fight, allowing you to survive long enough to deal that final blow to the Kraken.
Furniture: Specialized for Combat
In Skull and Bones, furniture plays an essential role in maximizing your ship's combat potential. We've chosen several key furniture items to enhance damage output, increase threat generation, and improve overall defense.
1. Italia Day Curvage (Increased Armor and Weapon Damage):
Effect: While above 50% hull, this reduces incoming secondary damage by 24% and increases threat generation by 15%. Weapon damage also gets a boost of 10%.
This piece of furniture provides a huge advantage by making you tankier and more threatening to enemies. The boost to weapon damage is also perfect for taking down Kraken tentacles.2. Culver Works (Increased Secondary Damage):
Effect: Increases secondary damage of Culver by 19%.
With Culver Works, you can significantly boost the secondary damage of your Culver weapon, which deals added damage over time. This is essential for chipping away at the Kraken's health and dealing with its multiple tentacles at once.
3. Copper Fashioning Station (Increased Electric Weapon Damage):
Effect: Increases the secondary damage of electric weapons by 12%, while also boosting their range by 8%.
Electric weapons are especially effective in Skull and Bones, and with this piece of furniture, you'll increase both the range and damage of those weapons, giving you an edge when fighting the Kraken from a distance.
4. Costic Spall Station (Flooding Weapon Enhancement):
Effect: Increases flooding damage by 13% for 10 seconds when using flooding weapons from over 200 meters away. Also increases damage to ships with the flooding effect by 10%.
Flooding weapons are key for taking down large ships like the Kraken. With the Costic Spall Station, you can maximize the damage caused by flooding, which will weaken the Kraken and create windows of opportunity for other attacks.
5. Ammo Priming Bench (Increased Siege Weapon Damage):
Effect: Increases damage to structures by 20% for siege weapons, and boosts projectile speed of siege weapons by 10%.
The Ammo Priming Bench significantly boosts the effectiveness of your siege weapons, making them more effective in breaking through the Kraken's thick hide. The increased projectile speed ensures your attacks reach their targets faster.
6. Culver Grinder (Increased Projectile Speed):
Effect: Increases projectile speed of Culver by 15%.
This last piece of furniture further enhances your ability to hit Kraken tentacles and structures with greater speed. With a 15% increase in projectile speed, you'll be able to land shots more effectively.
The Kraken Fight: How This Build Performs
Now that we've covered the ship, weapons, armor, and furniture, it's time to see how this build performs against the Kraken itself.
Starting the Fight:
When engaging the Kraken, you'll want to be sure to catch the wind early and get into position. The Frigot's decent speed (13) and trimming speed (17) ensure that you can maneuver around the Kraken and avoid its most dangerous attacks. The Thunder Dragon Cannon's fast reload time comes in handy when attacking tentacles, while the Storm Tongue Cannons unleash devastating damage.
During the Fight:
As the Kraken emerges, use the Little Grace auxiliary to keep your ship repaired while you focus on attacking its tentacles. Target the tentacles with Rupturing shots from your cannons, while using the Costic Spall Station to increase flooding damage when the Kraken's tentacles are exposed for long periods.
Using Abilities:
During the fight, keep an eye on your Italia Day Curvage's effects, which will reduce incoming damage and increase your threat generation, allowing you to focus on taking down the Kraken without worrying too much about your ship's integrity.
Endgame:
With the combination of Thunder Dragon Cannon shots, Storm Tongue Cannons, and the Costic Spall Station increasing your flooding damage, the Kraken will be on the back foot quickly. Be sure to use the Culver Grinder and Ammo Priming Bench to keep your siege weapons in top form for the final stages of the battle.
