X = 3 multiplier for shooting without penalty and X = 2 if shooting with penalty. Ability doesn't work if shooting at creatures behind walls.

  • Anabel Anabel the Captain has pirates as a specialty, which increases the speed of any Pirates, Corsairs or Sea Dogs by 1 and their Attack and Defense skills by 5% for every 3 levels (rounded up).
  • Bidley Bidley the Captain can upgrade Pirates and Corsairs to Sea Dogs.

Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

Pirates are great tier 3 shooters with good stats and no melee penalty. Their only weakness is a low shot count (only 4), although it should be sufficient to kill most neutral creatures if split into multiple stacks. An Ammo Cart can also help greatly in prolonged battles.


Sea Dogs are without question the best tier 3 creature in the game. They have great stats and a ranged version of the Mighty Gorgon's death stare ability. This is balanced by the high cost of the Gunpowder Warehouse, which prevents them from being acquired too early in the game. Pirates and Corsairs should generally be upgraded to Sea Dogs before engaging enemy players.
