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

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 :(

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?
