Ahoy, captains! The seas of Skull and Bones just got a lot more dangerous thanks to a brand-new endgame powerhouse-the Superore "Thunder Dragon" build. Designed for those who crave destruction Skull and Bones Items, range, and pure spectacle, this build turns naval combat into a lightning storm of chaos. From the ship's setup and weapon choices to armor and furniture optimization, this guide breaks down exactly how to recreate the build and why it's currently one of the most electrifying setups in Season 3.

 

Setting Sail with the Superore

 

After finally getting back into Skull and Bones following some server issues, our daring captain unveiled a new monster on the open seas: the Superore, fully leveled to rank 15 and kitted with a unique loadout centered on thunder, poison, and electric mayhem.

 

This ship isn't your standard bruiser-it's a precision-engineered hybrid capable of shredding sails from hundreds of meters away and melting hulls up close. What makes the Superore stand out is how it synergizes electric and toxic weapon effects through strategic perk stacking, turning every cannon volley into a storm surge of damage.

 

The Core of the Build: Thunder Dragon Cannons

 

The stars of this setup are the Thunder Dragon Cannons, which are as flashy as they are deadly. Each volley tears enemy sails apart and has a chance to summon lightning strikes-literal bolts of electricity-that deal massive AoE damage.

 

Here's the breakdown of what makes them so devastating:

 

 Base Damage: 2,755 per shot.

 

 Effect: Each cannon volley on enemy sails has a chance to summon a lightning strike that deals 5,000 electric damage every five hits.

 

 Scaling: Lightning strike damage increases to 10,000 if the target's sails are already torn.

 

 Perk Rolls: Noxious, Amplified Electric, and Flight Electric-boosting both poison and electric output while adding burst potential.

 

Each cannon slot is rolled with variations of these perks to maximize electric synergy. The amplified electric modifiers compound with secondary bonuses from ship furniture, pushing total electric weapon damage through the roof.

 

These cannons not only deal raw DPS but also apply consistent sail pressure, crippling enemy maneuverability and setting them up for finishing blows from close range.

 

Rear Weapon: Rotmouth Cannon

 

On the stern, the Rotmouth Cannon provides toxic backup-literally. This cursed weapon reduces enemy brace strength and inflicts extra poison damage on afflicted targets, synergizing beautifully with the electric elements from the main broadside weapons.

 

 Base Damage: 2,914

 Perks: Sharpened, Amplified Toxic, Amplified Toxic

 Bonus Effect: Extra damage against poisoned targets and reduced enemy brace strength upon impact.

 

This weapon ensures that once an enemy is poisoned or slowed, they're practically doomed. The poison DoT (damage over time) effect continues to stack while electric strikes from the Thunder Dragons finish the job.

 

Tactical Utility: The Spirit Caller

 

A critical support tool in this build is the Spirit Caller, which deploys a spectral buoy that damages enemies, slows them, and weakens their armor-all while making Weeping Specters vulnerable to attack.

 

 Base Damage: 258

 

 Perk Rolls: Noxious, Soul Mending, and Overflow

 

If you don't have access to the Spirit Caller, the Royal Sentinel or Infernal Maul can serve as excellent substitutes. The key is to roll Noxious on whatever version you use to maintain poison synergy.

 

The Spirit Caller buoy is perfect for setting up ambushes or softening targets from a distance. Once deployed, it helps your Thunder Dragon volleys land critical hits faster, while your Rotmouth cannon capitalizes on the weakened armor for burst DPS.

 

Armor Choice: Nocturn Heart

 

Defensively, this build runs the Nocturn Heart, one of the sleekest and most efficient armor options for hit-and-run captains.

 

 Passive Bonus: Increases weapon damage while at full hull health.

 

Perk Rolls:

 Armored: +95 armor.

 Stalwart: +7.6% hull health.

 Maintenance: Restores 160 hull health per second.

 

This armor rewards aggressive but tactical play. As long as your ship remains unscathed, your damage output remains high-and even when you take a few hits, the Maintenance perk passively restores health to keep you fighting longer.

 

The synergy here is simple: stay on the move, keep your distance early, and strike fast while your passive health regeneration maintains your full-damage state.

 

The Secret Weapon: Furniture Synergy

 

Furniture is where this build truly shines. These upgrades transform the Superore from a strong ship into a floating thunderstorm of death.

 

1. Gimbal Ring Stores

 Effect: Hitting a target over 180 meters away increases demi-cannon damage by 17% for 12 seconds.Extra Bonuses:

 +14% projectile speed for demi-cannons.

 +12% maximum range for demi-cannons.

 

This is the crown jewel of the setup. With the Thunder Dragon Cannons already built for range, the Gimbal Ring Stores pushes their reach and accuracy to insane levels. You'll be striking enemies from over 300 meters away with increased damage and speed.

 

2. Ram Rod Workshop

 

 Effect: Reduces broadside reload time by 7%.

 Bonus: Increases secondary broadside damage by 7%.

 

Perfect for maintaining pressure in extended fights. Faster reload means more lightning strikes-and faster kills.

 

3. Demi-Cannon Works I

 

 Effect: Increases secondary damage of demi-cannons by 19%.

This ties directly into the Thunder Dragon Cannons, amplifying every storm strike they generate.

 

4. Charge Stores

 

 Effect: Triggering Stormstruck on a target increases your next attack's damage by 50%.

 

Additional Bonuses:

 

 +10% charge rate for A Blaze on Stormstruck targets.

 +5% weapon damage for all electric weapons.

 

This single piece of furniture is what elevates the build from great to broken. Every time your lightning strike procs, your next volley hits even harder-creating a loop of consistent power spikes.

 

5. Plague's Ward

 

Effect:

 -7% reload time for toxic weapons.

 +4% increased toxic damage.

 

A crucial amplifier for the Rotmouth Cannon and Spirit Caller, ensuring the poison side of the build keeps pace with the electric core.

 

6. Copper Fashioning Station

 

Effect:

 +12% secondary damage for electric weapons.

 +8% maximum range for electric weapons.

 

This ties everything together-extending your strike radius and making sure your Thunder Dragons hit with full force even from long distances.

 

Combat Strategy: How to Use the Build

 

The Superore Thunder Dragon build is a range-first, pressure-second style setup. Here's how to run it effectively:

 

1.Engage from over 180 meters.

This triggers the Gimbal Ring's range bonus, giving your cannons +17% damage and faster projectile speed.

 

2.Target the sails first.

Torn sails increase lightning strike damage to 10,000 per proc. A few volleys will cripple enemy mobility and set up your next attack window.

 

3.Deploy the Spirit Caller.

Once the enemy slows, drop your buoy to weaken their armor and apply AoE damage.

 

4.Switch to the hull.

With weakened defenses and slowed movement, focus your fire on the ship's body. Use your Rotmouth Cannon for additional poison pressure.

 

5.Maintain health with Maintenance perk.

You'll notice slow but steady hull regeneration. Pair it with a repair kit when necessary for full uptime.

 

6.Stay mobile.

Don't get too close to brawlers. Your cannons are more efficient at medium to long range, and your furniture rewards accurate distant hits.

 

Performance and Versatility

 

In testing, the Superore's Thunder Dragon setup performed incredibly well in both PvE and PvP situations. The combination of lightning procs and poison stacking allows it to shred through merchant convoys, faction fleets, and even other players' ships.

What's more, it's not limited to one range. While optimized for long-distance combat, the Thunder Dragon Cannons are just as lethal up close-allowing for emergency brawls or plunders without feeling underpowered.

 

The armor regeneration and reload speed perks keep you sustained even in chaotic fights, and the ship's handling is smooth enough to make repositioning quick and natural.

 

Final Thoughts: The Ultimate Electric Storm

 

The Superore Thunder Dragon build is easily one of the most entertaining and efficient setups in Skull and Bones right now. It strikes a rare balance between raw damage, range control, and survivability-all while looking absolutely spectacular in action.

 

With lightning bolts crashing down from the sky, poisoned enemies coughing out green mist, and the sea itself lighting up from your volleys cheap skull and bones boosting, it's as cinematic as it is lethal.

 

Whether you're hunting down factions, raiding forts, or taking on PvP duels, this ship delivers results. Just be sure to keep an eye on your range, maintain your buffs, and enjoy the sight of the ocean turning into your personal storm.
