Create overpowered builds by synergizing these fresh-fanged swabs, and achieve immortality under the moonlight!
Avoid the sun - Thrive in the dark
Don't forget, you're all vampires! The sun is an ever-present threat looming in the horizon. Discipline the lust for blood and plunder by always staying one step ahead. No sunblock factor can protect this vampirate crew from death by sunrise, a fate worse than scurvy.
Build a crew of vampirates - Level up by drinking sailor blood!
Turn captured sailors to vampirism, or satiate the existing crew through sacrifice. Keeping all parties fed (the demonic ship included) is an important balancing act for long term success.
Every vampirate upgrade themselves towards 1 of 3 different affinities every time they drink sailor blood. Acquiring upgrades in every affinity will result in powerful synergies that can further compliment the skillset of other crew members.
Balancing the affinities is key to achieving overpowered builds that fends off everything the ocean can throw at you!
