What feels good

  • using this as notes for attributes:
  • Cold: Can put little points to energy early on if needed

What to watch

  • If feeling squishy or dying you can do 50/50 vitality and main stat

For broader mechanics and progression context, read the Pirate class guide before choosing a source build snapshot.

How should you use this source snapshot?

Treat this as a current-season starting point tied to the source update shown above. Verify balance-sensitive numbers in game after any newer patch, and compare the supplied variants before copying one loadout wholesale.

What does this source build cover?

this is not a real guide!!! I am just condensing some guides together for easier access for myself, if the guide makers want me to take it down, feel free to @me in hero siege discord @parmesanni

Credits go to Graxy_TV, FelpsBlast, Gynerfff, Pidzam

THIS IS NOT A GUIDE and might be too confusing to read LOL

Latest update 22/08 Update 1: After the NDA termination, it has surfaced that projectile speed has been halved across the board. Therefore Cannonball has gotten a chunk as well, I am not sure how much this is going to hurt and I am kind of sad about it. It might just be Cold Anchor only season(?) Buckshot might be good. Update 2: Extended Weight might just be bis until you have enough cooldown reduction to use Colossal Anchor

Can level with Freezing Chain Shot or Buckshot until Anchor. Im not sure if I want to attach any filters since I havent tested any and s9 filters might not work. Should be quite simple to make your own, [link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nShAqUq4aR0]watch the SleepyCat video about it <3[/link] Main build = Cannonball Other variants will be for leveling with Anchor Swing and fresh lvl 100 Anchor Swing stuff.

I'll be playing Blood Pact so I will but different alternatives for items so I can see what could be useful in that slot, might be confusing sorry and they are not in best order, since I don't know what would be the best and ideal ring with every gear set

Cannonball Yapping:

Ethereal Musket might be good (2handed gun) [item]Shadowfury[/item] can no longer crit forcing you to build around deadly blow, aps, strength stacking, attack damage, ED Shield(IF using 1hander): No clue, think most of them are just for tankiness. Rings: Just pick whatever you find tbh

Relics: A lot to pick here, for crit use the basic 4 ones and as a last one you can either pick more damage, tankines or utility. Tank: Sausage, Cake, Spirit Skull, Cheese Burger, Mayo's Old Sock. Speed: The Amputation Kit, Newt Tail, Rock Belt, Shade of Death MF: Jefre's Subscription Procs: Skull Axe, Death's Scythe, Shiv DMG/Attributes: Hand Scythe, Ogre Club, Monkey King Bar, Dirge, Commander's Sword Resist: Triforce TP: Maryo's Pipe Lifesteal: Charmed Blood

I personally dont know what would be the best combination but with the s10 changes we can bank these I assume, so it might be easier to test without having to grind every relic over again :3 Sadly I cba typing what all of those do and I can only link items :(

Potential Chest Augments: Lethal Tempo, Tempest Strikes, Overloader, Divine Piercing, Berserker's Rage, Avariciousness

Charms: For charms, theres a lot of potential for many things, just listing that could be useful. Dmg: Viking's Glyphed Rune, Witches claw, Crow's Feather, Raider's Torch, Adventurer's Quiver, Gurag's Heart Charm, Spine Trophy, Mark of the Black Knight.

Tank: Beetle of Life, Tal's Deathskull, Hardened Steel Defender, Anubis' Ankh Charm, Utility: Traveler's Map Journal

Some other good ones: Chaos Gemstone, Soul Collector, Lilith's Wrath, Annihilator, Earth Melon, Fulgurite, Torstein's Anvil, Plague Shot, Devil's Pact, Overloaded Dice Bull's Eye + Sniper's Scope if need attack rating cap Graxy's Mom Lure for Exp, MF Aimbot.exe for auto aim.

Mythic Affixes: All Skills, Crit/Crit Damage, Enhanced Damage Resistance/All Res, Life/Life%, Enhanced Defense Attack Speed, Movement Speed Life/Mana on Kill OR Leech

Anchor Swing Yapping: Not sure which Augment is better, Colossal Anchor or Extended Weight. People do different stuff :(

How is this build divided into variants?

Variant Level Attributes Linked items
Leveling 100 400 INT 0
Early Anchor Swing 100 400 INT 24
Early Cannonball 100 400 STR 22
Main Build 100 400 STR 25
My current build 23/08 Active source variant 100 400 INT 21

Which skill priorities does the source give?

My skill tree is completely bricked I can't use any points. sorry Look at Pidzam's or Graxys guide for skill tree 😭 1-24 using buckshot or freezing chain shot, then anchor swing until 100. maybe can swap to cballs at 100 due to buffs but might be safer to keep anchor swinging?

Which equipment does each variant use?

Leveling: The source does not supply equipment for this variant.
