Ubisoft disclosed new details and a couple of trailers for Skull and Bones recently and has launched Season 3: Into The Dragon’s Wake on Steam on August 22th.

Season 3 has added amounts of new contents in the game, introducing some of the most representative pirate fleets and commanders from China, such as Li Tian Ning and Commander Zhang. In addition, new ships and electric weapons, new pirate invading Indian Ocean, and some new World Events also being introduced in the game, as well as some improvement of the previous settings.

Tense situation comes when this new pirate lord tries to gain a foothold in your empire. Equipped with an all-new Smugglers Pass, themed cosmetics, and electric rewards, you may find the attraction of Skull and Bones: Into the Dragon’s Wake. Let’s take a look at the specific content of Season 3 in detail.

Two Sea Lords

From the formidable Li Tian Ning and Commander Zhang to a venomous dragon that descends from the heavens, players have to make enough preparation for facing these new foes.

Li Tian Ning is being hunted by Commander Zhang, leader of Dragon’s Claw, for betraying Dragon’s Claw and forming his own group, Phoenix’s Talon. Both of them will attack you in combat. Commander Zhang has prepared his vessel with fiery weapons, specializing in area lockdown. You and your allies will be bombarded by his fire attack.

Li Tian Ning is accustomed to deal fire attack to you. However, she prefers close-range battle rather than long-range barrages of Commander Zhang. By the advantages of Demi-Cannons and ballista, she boasts the ability to weaken your ship.

Throughout the entire season, her strength will get more powerful and overwhelming. She’ll also have a ton of new items added to her arsenal, like homing Demi-Cannons, studded sails that slash and skewer attacking ships, firecrackers, and Phoenix Pyre. Of course, you can also get some Skull and Bones Items to help you take on this sea lord.

New Ship And Weapons

In addition to the aforementioned new two sea lords that need to be defeated, Season 3 also provides players with some new weapons to help them fight these new threats.

A new ship, Battle Junk, can be embraced through Smuggler Pass. It is also nicknamed Juggernaut. Battle Junk is designed to undertake heavy damage and provides opportunities for allies to attack or escape when being trapped in danger.

While sailing Battle Junk, weapons within 200m perform Taunt charges, causing 50% weakpoint damage to the target. In addition, your crew’s Brace Strength will be enhanced by 150%, and Brace Strength Recovery will be promoted by 25%.

Player will be rewarded by Phoenix Talons after defeating Li Tian Ning, a powerful demi-cannon that lands 18 hits in a single volley, causing overwhelming burning damage. Heaven’s Mandate, the reward of defeating sea dragon, is a carronade-style cannon equipped with two perks. The first perk is Heaven’s Wrath, and the second refers to Lightning II. Both of them are essentially powerful and deal with massive attacks.

World Events

Players will encounter a new merchant convoy with Ungwana Faction, which will grant new equipment to them (Epic Furniture and Epic Armor).

In addition, some new time-limited events need to be pay much attention too. In the late phrase of Season 3, Halloween-inspired Requiem of the Lost event will be held, with themed cannons and pumpkin buoys being contained. Players will combat with ghost ships called Lost Roamers.

For every Lost Roamer they sink, they’ll earn Halloween Tears and Tokens, which can be traded for prizes. After the number of Lost Roamers you have sunk is enough, the elite boss Reaper of the Lost will appear, player can embrace affluent rewards by defeating him.

Of course, players can also unlock new pets in this season. A green iguana and a baby tiger are waiting for you to bring them home.

The above is some updates on Skull and Bones Season 3. If you are interested, join this adventure together. Thank you for reading.

With the launch of Skull and Bones Season 2: Chorus of Havoc, the game will introduce new ship and weapon types, a new game mode, Helm gameplay, and an unknown threat to Indian Ocean.

To celebrate the start of Chorus of Havoc, Skull and Bones will be hosting a free week from May 30th to June 6th, during which the entire game will be available. But if you need more time to kill Hubac Twins or take over more manufactories, you can also choose to get the game directly. Of course, all your progress will be carried over.

Before you jump into the game, let’s take a look at some of the specific content brought to you in the new season to help you get a better start after entering the game!

New Enemy: Hubac Twins

La Peste may have been eliminated from your waters, but your pirate behavior has angered the megacorporations more than ever. As a result, Compagnie Royale has hired Hubac Twins to eliminate all pirates in the area.

Their Chorus Fleet will wreak havoc on your operations, whether by using homing torpedoes, buoys that form whirlpools, or Twins singing as they attack your ships.

Hubac Twins’ ships also have Wave Shield, a new armor consisting of removable plates that cover the hull of each ship. However, when the plates open to allow the ship’s weapons to fire, weak spots are exposed. Chorus Fleet will target trade routes and known pirate outposts in Indian Ocean, so keep an eye out.

Preparing To Beat Hubac Twins

To fight Hubac Twins, you’ll need to prepare some new Skull and Bones Items.

Auxiliary Weapon

Fortunately, the new Mine Springloader can help. As an auxiliary weapon, Springloader will fire buoys that create floating minefields, allowing you to create an explosive zone around your target.

Best Ship

Brig is a medium-sized ship designed to help you with Springloader. It’s also the fastest ship added to Skull and Bones so far, reduces auxiliary reload time, and will increase the effectiveness of deploying buoys after consecutive weapon hits.

Don’t forget to equip your Brig with the brand new Armour: Rhapsody of the Deep. It lets you hold onto your mounts and unleash a sonic attack that damages nearby enemies, giving you the power to defeat them in the fight against Hubac Twins.

Weapons

There are two Springloader weapons that are worth your time, Little Grace and Infernal Maw.

Players can earn Little Grace by completing seasonal contracts, but items like Infernal Maw and Rhapsody of the Deep are earned from Smugglers Pass. Pirates who complete Smugglers Pass will also receive Hermit Crab as an adorable ship-running pet.

Upgrading Your Ship

To further combat Hubac Twins, as well as some of the many other dangers lurking in the ocean, you can upgrade your ship with Shipwrights from Skull and Bones.

Each ship will have 6 possible upgrade levels that improve ship stats, unlock new perks, and create additional furniture slots. With this feature, smaller ships can be upgraded to stand out in higher-level World Events, giving you more options when taking on missions.

New Helm Mechanics

Helm also introduces new game mechanics that change your smuggling operations on the high seas.

Fleet Management

One of these features is Fleet Management, which allows you to assign unused ships to automatically collect and deposit Pieces of Eight from your manufactories. The higher the level of your ship, the greater the chance that your loot will arrive safely at its destination, but the risk of your ship being damaged during the voyage will also be higher.

New Ways To Get Manufactories

Also, there are new ways to get manufactories. Now, besides Hostile Takeover and Legendary Heists PVP World Event, you can also obtain manufactories through Helm Leases and the new Buyout game mode.

You can earn Helm Leases by completing seasonal contracts, striking a deal with John Scurlock or Rahma, or as a Smugglers Pass reward.

There are three types of Helm Leases: Regional, Faction, and Worldwide. To use one, simply sail to the manufactory you wish to acquire and use a Helm Lease there.

In Buyout, you will be asked to travel to an Outpost. There, Overseas Smuggler will ask you to help them collect items, which may include commodities, contraband, currencies, or equipment. If you can gather the supplies and deliver them to the Smuggler within the allotted time, you’ll be rewarded with a manufactory.

Manufactory Defense

Another new game mode introduced in Chorus of Havoc is Manufactory Defense, which adds an element of danger to the manufactories you already control.

If you accept when the opportunity presents itself, you’ll need to travel to a threatened manufactory and defend it from waves of enemies. Be aware that each wave of enemies will be increasingly difficult than the one before, so be prepared.

If your manufactory reaches zero health, you fail the objective, and the location will not produce any Pieces of Eight while it recovers. Instead, if you successfully defend your factory, you’ll be rewarded with Helm materials.

World Events

Chorus of Havoc also introduces several new World Events to Skull and Bones.

Soleil Royal excels at area denial, explosive mini-ships, and ranged damage, but successfully sinking a warship will net you exotic rewards, including a ship upgrade kit on your first success.

Admiral Rempah and Clan of Fara also add merchant convoys to the scenario, offering generous rewards to anyone who can sink them.

Megalodon Lestari is a stealthy sea monster intent on sinking you to the depths.

Dragon Boat Event is a limited-time event where players can win Regatta Chests by completing a series of checkpoint buoys. There will be three playable tracks, located on Red Isle, Coast of Africa, and East Indies.

Additionally, there will be a Summer Fiesta event later in the season. During this time, Yanita Yara will ask you to steal imported ice from merchant convoys. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with Cocktails, a consumable item that provides buffs.

These are some of the important changes and highlights worth noting in Skull and Bones Season 2. In any case, get ready to rule the high seas again in Chorus of Havoc!
