Best Defender Hulk Build

The Defender Hulk's low speed mean that in solo play, it needs to deal as much damage as possible to the pursuing enemy ship since it can't flee the battle. In group play, having stronger weapons means that the enemy will prioritize targeting you over your allies.

Rahma's Legacy is a powerful bow weapon that requires more precise aiming, which is easier to do when firing from the bow. Basilisk III is a great broadside weapons as it makes enemy ships more susceptible to crew attacks and boasts higher upfront damage than the Tearing Culverin III.

Finally, Flooding Demi-cannon III is placed on the stern so you can inflict flooding damage against enemy ships chasing after you, slowing them down with flooding damage and making them easier to evade during combat.
