I found out, if you stun the legendary mercenaries, bring them all to one place and then save in front of them, that their stats still change, after you reloaded the game. So its even faster to farm them, because you don‘t need to defeat them all the time.

Great video, going to tweak my lieutenants a bit, though I'm already mostly doing what you are... loading up on fire javelin power, and getting the extra fire blocks at beginning of battle. For me... I do the initial ram and typically don't bother with another. I essentially line up the front of my ship with the back 1/3 of theirs (paralell), unload all my fire javelines, and then just arrows until another fire javelin is ready... if it isnt already dead. This, because of the curve of the ship, forces them to throw and shoot into the strongest part and never hit with all their projectiles, meanwhile as a human player i can constantly focus my fire into the weakpoint my first ram created instead of worrying about weaving and maneuvering for another ram.
Agree, multiple rams you will only ever need for the bounty ships, who are much stronger, never for normal pirates or factions, and not even for mercenary ships, they just fall apart like you see at the end of the video. But I used the multi ram method for a long time, because all my lieutenants got reset every NG+... which really sucks, They could have kept the custom ones atleast. I even often played with no lieutenants at all.
Wow... what a guide... Even without the oerfect mercenary, you gave the best way to attack ship... I am doing much better now with the attack tactics shared by you. I tried the island but i was able to get to 3 mercenary before one spawned near me soni stopped but 2/3 of them were legendary so no complaints... You are genuis 🤘
Love this channel. Despite having a strong german accent (like me:D) which could be difficult to understand by everyone these informations are pure gold. Thanks to this channel I played the game again. I have so many ability points that I can try out many sets which are also presented in this channel in a very detailed manner. Very helpful! Thanks!
@@TheSpiritOfTheWest Well I don't know him personally but I am German as well and I think he is a German too :) But ofc I am not sure though. Maybe we need to ask him again soon haha.
For new players, I just want to point out that after the ship is dead in the water, instead of shooting more arrows or throwing more javelins to sink the ship, if you cleave it you get more materials especially wood and after it sinks theres always 2 chests sinking down (if you dont board) so if you're quick you can get it before it disappears into the pitch black ocean.
Takes way too much time and effort to get the chests. Just remember to grab weapons on weapon racks whenever you pass by. Those low level items arent worth anything. Focus on levelling up and do quests, not on endless ship battles.
I always thought legendary perks didn't stack?! I've avoided having Lts with the same legendary perks this whole time, thinking it was a waste! Thanks for educating me yet again!
Naval has its own rules, and is totally different. A build with 2-3 Fire power when starting conflict will be super op. Then add one health when sinking of any type and you will be a god. Anything without having multiple fire power when starting conflict, is not even a good build.
I just recently found your channel. One thing you can also do after you sink your target, without boarding them you can still locate and plunder their loot chests.
LIEUTENANT FARM TIPS: Mercs seem to be assigned either epic or legendary status when they're generated and added to the Merc tab, so keep in mind this doesn't change even when you reload a save. As someone else posted, you can save after knocking out mercs and then just reload to generate different stats before recruiting. With that in mind, this is what I do: - Clear your bounty before traveling to Cradle of Myths/Serifos island - Do a manual save as soon as you get there - Hack away at NPCs until you get full bounty, then wait for all 5 mercs to spawn - Use Ikaros to check for legendary mercs. If you get at least 2, go to the rooftop in the video and do a new manual save. (If there's less than 2, kill all the epic mercs, pay off your bounty, leave the island until new mercs generate, then try again.) - Knock out all the legendary mercs and kill the epic ones. If you accidentally kill any legendaries, reload your last save and try again. - Place all the legendaries near each other but spaced slightly apart, then create a new manual save - Use Ikaros to check the icons and keep reloading your save until you get what you want - When there's only 1 left it's probably worth restocking, so leave the island, pay off your bounty, then keep checking your map every couple minutes until the knocked out merc leaves the island, then go back and start over.

Combining freedom, skill variety of AC:Odyssey and ships from AC:BF would be awesome. For those whos struggling on enemy ships on high difficulties, theres a tactic when you sail in front of enemy ship and with little turning you firing with arrows at range and enemy wont even reach you at all
Javelin and arrow damage perks will rise the fire damage too, so it is better no to get fire damage instead get +fire power per javelin/arrow hits, or fire power when ramming... and -30% damage taken while boosting is really helpful especially if you are fighting many ships at once.. get 2 lit with this perk (-60% damage while boosting) and 20% health restore while sinking ship and +130% fire power refill after cleaving...
Dude, you have totally no idea what you are talking about. Javelin damage raise that, but you want maximum fire javelin damage, so get both that will give you 65% additional damage for fire javelins instead of 30%, you never want to throw a low damage normal javelin, only use fire javelins. The fire power comes from the Fire power legendary perks, get three of them and it will be super op, you get three bars for every new ship you encounter and can sink it instantly, instead of charging up firepower with throws, which is a crap tactic. Using fire power increase with javelin or arrow hits is a total waste of possible damage, it will unnencessary lenghten every fight while dealing much less damage. You should not use it! Check the battles at the end of the video, dude. Make that build and try it out. Fire power while starting conflict with fire javelin damage is the most OP tactic you can use in this game. There is only 2 good legendary perks which is fire power while starting conflict and health when sinking ships,. Period. If you dont get it, then continue using your tactics, I dont care. But they are really bad.
I just started playing Odyssey a week ago. I'm level 26 and I'm loving this game! I'm 37 years old and rarely play videos games but this game has me hooked. So much to do.
Do not waste your valuable fire power for flamethrower, always use it for fire javelins, they do triple the amount of damage than normal javelins. Flamethrower is a waste.
T7 PDM i love to watch them burn... up close and personal 😂😂 I’ll do the other method sometimes. I honestly rarely do naval combat at this point!! It’s nice having someone cover the game still. I can’t wait for the new one to come at the end of the year!!!
The ship battle is definitely one of my favourites, especially for the rewards. I already had my build set up close to this but the tip on Javelins was a nice addition to my knowledge, thanks.
@@noeramirez1015 You can also reload those of course. Just know them out preferably with paralysing arrows, then make a save before you recruit them. They have diferent perks every time you reload your save.
I always go for ramming damage. That's how I sink 90% of the ships I take on. Out maneuver them. Then ram them. If there are several other ships I ram them again as they are sinking use auto loot. If there's only a couple left I board and take on the boss for a bit more loot.
Good luck lol. I did that my first play through. I was 30-45hours in and didn’t even touch one main quest lol. There’s sooooooo many side quest it can be overwhelming but I love it lol
@@T7PDM the time and effort you put into these builds you deserve to get the views you helped me out a lot with your gear build video's and i've had a lot of fun with them. hope theres many more to come till the new game comes out anyway
you're by far the most thorough when it comes to ac odyssey videos. have you considered making a choices guide for the atlantis dlc? im replaying the fields of elysium and im curious if any of the choices effect more than just relationships with the characters. one of the first examples would be the Dark Horse quest. does giving the horse to adonis help him in any way? or does he just like you more?
The only thing you can avoid with the choices is a fight between you and Hermes, I played it three times, it does look like you can change everything, but its all the same, its pure fake. Only different dialogues, but all the same quests and outcome.
@@ShadowFlame420that is why I prefer linear story quests 😂 my brain will not allow me to play any quests without over analyzing the outcomes and using the wiki, which gets very bothersome
Best build - use skill to call lieutenant in fight on 50 sec. Choose Deimos in 1 slot of lieutenants, and in other 3 slots use mercenaries with perk 35% damage for lieut. So after that Deimos will kill everything that moves instead you, even on nightmare
Find a legendary recruit and knock them out, no matter what their icons/symbols are. Save the game. (If you are in an enemy location then carry the recruit to a safe place and save) Reload the game until they get the icons/symbols you want. Recruit. (Reload the game more if you don't like the specific perks/skills) This helps save time. You only have to travel to the merc once, you only have to fight them once.
You dont have to travel you can check with Icarus anyway, but you should pile up more than one legendary lieutenant to make it more efficient with your method. I got three at the same time. Considering the long reload times on certain platforms, reloading for one is not efficient.
@@T7PDM I've done it with 2 a few times. I hear you about traveling, but when I'm early game then I'm usually shopping for mercs at megaris and the mercs have quite a ways to travel before I can get Ikaros close enough to scan, and then I also have to spend the time to fight them. Plus, they may have the icons I like, but when I recruit them they may not have the actual perks I want, so then I have to reload and re-fight them again once they have promising icons. It's much better to do that after I've knocked them out. Also, I don't want to kill innocents! And finally, I don't have too many issues with loading time. It doesn't take too long for me and it's also really the only form of grinding that I allow for my game. Thanks for your videos (and the reply)!
Do the lieutenants have to have the same perks as your build, because I’m doing the farm method but I’m not getting the perks you have it’s taking very long
In my game, I've noticed that some epic mercenaries, if I let them live because they look cool, eventually become legendary mercenaries, but I have no idea why or how. Anybody know?
Just got the game and I'm so excited to level up and try all the builds you've shared. I'll take my time tho. I haven't seen an efficient build to use early, like before lvl 50. I don't know if it's necessary to care about a build early on tho xD. Nice video!
Since you can not reach 100% crit chance before level 50, it is indeed not viable with all the new builds. Below 50, focus on warrior damage, weapon damage and all damage. But make sure, not to dismantle the epics with crit engravings on them. For hunter use hunter + elemental. For assassin, on low levels, assassin damage and all damage is the only option. A warrior build can be pretty good with a strong focus on weapon damage for every possible item you can engrave it on.
Thin the herd with assassin 👍 I made sure to have a switch between warrior and assassin gear early but focused on assassin. Skills wise, bull rush to get out if surrounded and shadow assassin for 1 hit weak enemies. Critical assassin for more assurance its a 1 hit kill. I think warrior/hunter is tough early for forts and locations w/a lot of enemies.
Hatte zuvor immer Speerschaden und als zweites Feuerschaden, Feuerschaden hat den Vorteil dass es sowohl Brandpfeile als auch Feuerspeere upgradet, somit hast du das max aus beiden rausgeholt. (Wenn du 4Crewmitglieder mit diesen Perk hattest) jetzt gibt es aber nur noch blaue Mitglieder mit Feuerschaden u meine vorherigen Crewmitglieder haben nach einem Update statt Feuerschaden, schaden durch Brandpfeile...
Pfeile mit Feuer zu verschießen ist eine totale Verschwendung, du verschwendest ein Feuersegment für 2 Millionen Schaden weniger und zudem hast du noch 10% weniger Schaden für jedes Feuer Perk, welches du benutzt. Also hast du am Ende über 40% Weniger Feuerschaden, als hättest du dich spezialisiert, das ist mehr als ein ganzer Lieutenant.
T7 PDM jo geb dir da Recht, aber du musst den Schaden pro Zeit rechnen. Weil es ja sein kann das du keine Speere bzw Pfeile hast. War so am flexiblsten. Versteh aber deinen Punkt.
T7 PDM werden die goldenen Perks hier gedoppelt? Rede von den plus eins Feuersegment zu Beginn eines Konflikts. Dachte die gelten nur einmal wie bei den Waffen
@@Aliasdings Nein, du kannst 4 Segmente bekommen, für jeden neuen Encounter, wenn du es viermal benutzt. Siehe die Kämpfe am Ende des Videos. Ich empfehle aber mindestens einmal die 20% Gesundheit fürs Versenken zu verwenden.
You knock him out with paralyzing arrows and press the recruit button as usual. Just make a better build, there are plenty of awesome builds on the channel.
Deimos is the only cultist that will be come a lieutenant if he survives your story choices. Because all your family members, if they survive your decisions, will become lieutenants after you finished the family story.
Hey T7, i very like your videos and i realy appreciate you for all of your content! I have a question for u T7, what are u think about orichalcum spending? What is more profitabe? Spend all of ori on the olympian gifts or just buy 1-2 legendary items every week?
Only ever buy the items if they are good. Otherwise go for the gifts, because you usually get epics with very good stats and some unique epics like the Darsksteel mask with 100% Crit damage and Bandit bow with 50% crit damage.
Wen man die 3 Goldenen Söldner nieder schlägt und in einer reihe auflegt, geht es viel schneller nach dem Neu laden sie zu checken und eventuell wieder neu zu laden!
i just started playing last week and i'm already on lvl52 and story chapter 7. i really wanna go for your god mode warrior build asap when i'm on lvl99. thanks for all the amazing content, it really helps, and as someone who loves min-maxing and high dmg numbers your videos are simply perfect
Thank you so much for your videos, every time I watch'em, I realize how a noob I am and my self esteem falls to the ground. Sorry if annoying you 😅, maybe it was already covered, but does it matter the exact "slot position" of Legendary Lieutenants (like, e.g., for the weapons' slot order for your builds)?
Funny i was level 9 and i got phokis one eyed king recruited as a crew! =) I also used Odyssia at her temple to kill mercenaries twice my level (level 12 and killed level 38!) bad timing for mercenaries finding themselves near her templr at phokis hahaha.
Just complementing T7 PDM, you can also "buy" them using Orichalcum from the daily and weekly missions too, but this takes a little but of time to get the amount needed, and a great deal of pacience in waiting them to be avaliable on the Oikos Store in Phokis.
Hey, bro. Great video as always! Umm, when we buy the Fate of Atlantis, all the episodes are already in the game right? Or we need to buy it one by one?
Hands down the most clearly explained guide on odyssey naval tactics. Much appreciated though I would like some alternative ways to firm crews where I wouldn't have to kill 40-50 civilians!! :v
just find a legendary polemarch in a fort (they spawn there with about 70% chance) stun him, drag out of fort, quick save, recruit. if you don't like the perks, just quickload, recruit. rinse and repeat.
I have a hard time trying to knock down mercenaries I try getting them down very low then lose them and when they look for me I use the unharme strike what am I doing wrong. I'm running a assassin build and lvl 47 if That matters
So i just got back into Odyssey and was looking to farm lieutenants using the method you've shown, only issue is the mercs are spawning one at a time. I go through and massacre everyone to get the highest bounty, but only one merc is spawning at a time. Am I doing something wrong?
@@brucehanify3892 The are really cool during nighttime, sadly I can barely see the enemy ships banner over night, so I have to play seabattles during daytime.
Hey man, love your vids man. Do you have a build for a hunter that utilizes the slo-mo jump? It worked much better in origins i think, here its short and you basically cant use your overpower abilities which makes you sacrifice absurd ammount of damage. Any ideas?
You should not bother using very situational useless things.Here are the best epic hunter builds you can make: ua-cam.com/video/yPZX-ubVZ9Y/v-deo.html But the are outclassed by the glitch warrior which uses 200k hunter damage: ua-cam.com/video/EbTb6Yu6uCQ/v-deo.html
Will someone tell me how to properly aim? I swear I miss half the time. The top of the white arc, straight across, pointed at the ship? Or sailers? Sail? Thanks.
Great video really good information. I love the naval battles primarily because I served eight years in the Navy. Is there a limit to the amount of Lieutenants you can have in your availability pool? Does dismissing Odessa matter?
Yo awesome video. Hey man I just got the game a few days ago and I have a question it might be a dumb one but I was just wondering if there was any easier way to get xp? All the videos I have found on UA-cam they were all late game
Don't worry about exp/level unless you want a skill point. Just keep an eye on the map to make sure you don't go somewhere too early . If you want SPs definitely look up maps for the tombs and the locations for enchantment clues.
To add on to T7 PDM Don't stress about completing contracts early game, accept them ASAP when you get to new regions b/c of a story mission. Then just make sure to clear out every location you get to for a mission. You'll naturally complete contracts that way. An exception are region specific (it doesn't say Greece) ones. Try to finish those before continuing the story.
In the background of every item in the game is a watermark indicating if its a main game item, a DLC item or a shop item. These ones are from the shop.
Any help with the saving and loading? I have reloaded 100 saves and cannot get the right perks. Either the symbols are wrong but if they are right I take them down and discover oh Speed Boost when Drifting.
Damn, I just realized I've had sucky Lieutenants this whole time. Two of mine have +Lieutenant Health. :) Question...how do you get Myrrine as a Lieutenant? I've finished the base game (don't have the add-on's yet). Is there a way I can still get her on my ship?

Javelin and arrow damage perks will rise the fire damage too, so it is better no to get fire damage instead get +fire power per javelin/arrow hits, or fire power when ramming... and -30% damage taken while boosting is really helpful especially if you are fighting many ships at once.. get 2 lit with this perk (-60% damage while boosting) and 20% health restore while sinking ship and +130% fire power refill after cleaving...
Dude, you have totally no idea what you are talking about. Javelin damage raise that, but you want maximum fire javelin damage, so get both that will give you 65% additional damage for fire javelins instead of 30%, you never want to throw a low damage normal javelin, only use fire javelins. The fire power comes from the Fire power legendary perks, get three of them and it will be super op, you get three bars for every new ship you encounter and can sink it instantly, instead of charging up firepower with throws, which is a crap tactic. Using fire power increase with javelin or arrow hits is a total waste of possible damage, it will unnencessary lenghten every fight while dealing much less damage. You should not use it! Check the battles at the end of the video, dude. Make that build and try it out. Fire power while starting conflict with fire javelin damage is the most OP tactic you can use in this game. There is only 2 good legendary perks which is fire power while starting conflict and health when sinking ships,. Period. If you dont get it, then continue using your tactics, I dont care. But they are really bad.
I still play this game, I’m not really a fan of Valhalla. It’s a really good game but odyssey is good too.
Good choice, man. You are not alone.
Me too
I just started playing Odyssey a week ago. I'm level 26 and I'm loving this game! I'm 37 years old and rarely play videos games but this game has me hooked. So much to do.
@@aprox23 Welcome, you should check out this playlist, it explains everything you need to know about the game: ua-cam.com/video/lCDURAgFXCo/v-deo.html
Valhalla is better and I’ll always stand by that. Each to their own.
Very good guide!!! I always start with a ram.. then use flamethrowers until it’s catches fire then straight murder with regular javelin throws 😂😂😂
Do not waste your valuable fire power for flamethrower, always use it for fire javelins, they do triple the amount of damage than normal javelins. Flamethrower is a waste.
T7 PDM i love to watch them burn... up close and personal 😂😂 I’ll do the other method sometimes. I honestly rarely do naval combat at this point!! It’s nice having someone cover the game still. I can’t wait for the new one to come at the end of the year!!!
The ship battle is definitely one of my favourites, especially for the rewards. I already had my build set up close to this but the tip on Javelins was a nice addition to my knowledge, thanks.
Thanks for another great video. now I have a goal for my ship :D1
I just have my family as Lieutenants. Plot >> Stats
1. I like how you catched the chest at the end😁.
2. Can You make a video with your favourite transmaogs? That would be really great.
Greetings
He said this is no fashion channel wich i know of cours But would be cool anyways.
@@mremiljoe yeah, your right🙁. But i can still hope.
Nice work ! Thanks for the guide . My farming isn’t spawning legendary lieutenants , I keep getting 5 epic lieutenants .
Your level might be too low or your bounty is not high enough.
@@T7PDM I’m lvl 51 . I did manage to recruit some legendary lieutenants . But , they were the Polemarchs and captains of forts
@@noeramirez1015 You can also reload those of course. Just know them out preferably with paralysing arrows, then make a save before you recruit them. They have diferent perks every time you reload your save.
Awesome dude. Very very useful. Nothing like this out there as far as I have seen
Ausgezeichnet!
Dynamite guides, analysis and insight! This video will definitely put some structure into the naval combat chaos!
I always go for ramming damage. That's how I sink 90% of the ships I take on. Out maneuver them. Then ram them.
If there are several other ships I ram them again as they are sinking use auto loot. If there's only a couple left I board and take on the boss for a bit more loot.
Your videos are amazing, hope your channel gets bigger and bigger you deserve it man!!
Come to get advice on recruiting lieutenants. Leave with lessons in Peloponnesian naval combat tactics.
Im doing all the side quest before the mail missions call me crazy but ranking up is a must in this game lol
Good luck lol. I did that my first play through. I was 30-45hours in and didn’t even touch one main quest lol. There’s sooooooo many side quest it can be overwhelming but I love it lol
@@godslayor150 lol I was completing every location and half the map down when I got to level 50, before I did the first Athens main quest.
thanks for this i think your the only you tuber who has done a ship build video on you tube : )
Then bring on the views, UA-cam.
@@T7PDM the time and effort you put into these builds you deserve to get the views you helped me out a lot with your gear build video's and i've had a lot of fun with them. hope theres many more to come till the new game comes out anyway
you're by far the most thorough when it comes to ac odyssey videos. have you considered making a choices guide for the atlantis dlc? im replaying the fields of elysium and im curious if any of the choices effect more than just relationships with the characters. one of the first examples would be the Dark Horse quest. does giving the horse to adonis help him in any way? or does he just like you more?
The only thing you can avoid with the choices is a fight between you and Hermes, I played it three times, it does look like you can change everything, but its all the same, its pure fake. Only different dialogues, but all the same quests and outcome.
T7 PDM ok cool. i suppose there comes a certain sense of freedom from realizing nothing matters lol
@@ShadowFlame420that is why I prefer linear story quests 😂 my brain will not allow me to play any quests without over analyzing the outcomes and using the wiki, which gets very bothersome
Your attention to detail is phenomenal.
I still have my family as lieutenants, My step dad, step brother, Deimos, and my mom
Best build - use skill to call lieutenant in fight on 50 sec. Choose Deimos in 1 slot of lieutenants, and in other 3 slots use mercenaries with perk 35% damage for lieut. So after that Deimos will kill everything that moves instead you, even on nightmare
Lol
@@DrWurzeli it's really working. 3-4 calls are necessary to clean any fortress in nightmare. 1 call to kill most protected leader of region
Do you get bounty? Never used it, and if yes is it about the same as normal? Did Deimos ever die?
@@1Pastyx1 sounds fascinating :D
Or you could make an actually decent build because this would only benefit earlier levels but you only unlock Deimos at the end
You should have more subscribers...
Good lord. That was epic ship battle.
The fire power on starting conflict is key to make this possible.
You are an Amazing UA-camr now because of you I will rule the sea
Thank you this was a life saver but do you have a video on what ship upgrades to start doing first? I’m level 20 and completely clueless on that😅
I actually didn’t know the +1 segments stacked... wow.
damn i am still getting killed a lot by other ships in NORMAL difficulty wtf. thanks for the tips, the graphs and all the useful information.
Find a legendary recruit and knock them out, no matter what their icons/symbols are.
Save the game. (If you are in an enemy location then carry the recruit to a safe place and save)
Reload the game until they get the icons/symbols you want.
Recruit. (Reload the game more if you don't like the specific perks/skills)
This helps save time. You only have to travel to the merc once, you only have to fight them once.
You dont have to travel you can check with Icarus anyway, but you should pile up more than one legendary lieutenant to make it more efficient with your method. I got three at the same time. Considering the long reload times on certain platforms, reloading for one is not efficient.
@@T7PDM I've done it with 2 a few times. I hear you about traveling, but when I'm early game then I'm usually shopping for mercs at megaris and the mercs have quite a ways to travel before I can get Ikaros close enough to scan, and then I also have to spend the time to fight them. Plus, they may have the icons I like, but when I recruit them they may not have the actual perks I want, so then I have to reload and re-fight them again once they have promising icons. It's much better to do that after I've knocked them out. Also, I don't want to kill innocents! And finally, I don't have too many issues with loading time. It doesn't take too long for me and it's also really the only form of grinding that I allow for my game. Thanks for your videos (and the reply)!
I always board in naval battles, I can swim to other ships and kill people there, helped me kill the level 50 cultist on the ship at level 40
Do the lieutenants have to have the same perks as your build, because I’m doing the farm method but I’m not getting the perks you have it’s taking very long
There are also different sets of legendary lieutenants shown, which you can use alternatively to the perfect ones.
Only took me 10 seconds to recognize that you are german. Love your videos. Keep going
good I have 3 myrine n evi n Athena, bad thing after new games + most valuable lieutenant will gone,that island idea was amazing 👏👍🌹
In my game, I've noticed that some epic mercenaries, if I let them live because they look cool, eventually become legendary mercenaries, but I have no idea why or how. Anybody know?
Outstanding tip on the lieutenant farm, thank you!
So you were Zeus, and now you're Poseidon as well! Cheers mate but leave something for us 😂😂 jk
Me, a time traveling pirate with an Iowa class battleship:
“Your power is strong, but my trolling is stronger”
Do you also have tips on what to upgrade on your ships at first if you can't max it yet?
Just got the game and I'm so excited to level up and try all the builds you've shared. I'll take my time tho. I haven't seen an efficient build to use early, like before lvl 50. I don't know if it's necessary to care about a build early on tho xD. Nice video!
Since you can not reach 100% crit chance before level 50, it is indeed not viable with all the new builds. Below 50, focus on warrior damage, weapon damage and all damage. But make sure, not to dismantle the epics with crit engravings on them. For hunter use hunter + elemental. For assassin, on low levels, assassin damage and all damage is the only option. A warrior build can be pretty good with a strong focus on weapon damage for every possible item you can engrave it on.
Thin the herd with assassin 👍
I made sure to have a switch between warrior and assassin gear early but focused on assassin. Skills wise, bull rush to get out if surrounded and shadow assassin for 1 hit weak enemies. Critical assassin for more assurance its a 1 hit kill. I think warrior/hunter is tough early for forts and locations w/a lot of enemies.
Malaka! Now I have to farm lieutenants again.
Mattias Charman lmao
Hatte zuvor immer Speerschaden und als zweites Feuerschaden, Feuerschaden hat den Vorteil dass es sowohl Brandpfeile als auch Feuerspeere upgradet, somit hast du das max aus beiden rausgeholt. (Wenn du 4Crewmitglieder mit diesen Perk hattest) jetzt gibt es aber nur noch blaue Mitglieder mit Feuerschaden u meine vorherigen Crewmitglieder haben nach einem Update statt Feuerschaden, schaden durch Brandpfeile...
Pfeile mit Feuer zu verschießen ist eine totale Verschwendung, du verschwendest ein Feuersegment für 2 Millionen Schaden weniger und zudem hast du noch 10% weniger Schaden für jedes Feuer Perk, welches du benutzt. Also hast du am Ende über 40% Weniger Feuerschaden, als hättest du dich spezialisiert, das ist mehr als ein ganzer Lieutenant.
T7 PDM jo geb dir da Recht, aber du musst den Schaden pro Zeit rechnen. Weil es ja sein kann das du keine Speere bzw Pfeile hast. War so am flexiblsten. Versteh aber deinen Punkt.
T7 PDM werden die goldenen Perks hier gedoppelt? Rede von den plus eins Feuersegment zu Beginn eines Konflikts. Dachte die gelten nur einmal wie bei den Waffen
@@Aliasdings Nein, du kannst 4 Segmente bekommen, für jeden neuen Encounter, wenn du es viermal benutzt. Siehe die Kämpfe am Ende des Videos. Ich empfehle aber mindestens einmal die 20% Gesundheit fürs Versenken zu verwenden.
T7 PDM ja habs gesehen. Das meinte ich mit doppeln wenn du zwei hast. Gut zu wissen 👍
Love the video! What is the 4th icon in your ship arsenal? Can't find info about it anywhere
The flamethrower from legacy of the first blade DLC
Great videos and builds . Can you show us how to recruit Myrrine and family ?
Just google for the right answers to get the best ending of the story.
How do you recruit a person at a much higher level than you are at?
You knock him out with paralyzing arrows and press the recruit button as usual.
Just make a better build, there are plenty of awesome builds on the channel.
Finally a build ive been waiting for
Thanks man.
Can you recruit the Mercenaries that are part of the Cultist? There's a female Merc that's in the cultist that I'm trying to recruit she is level 41
Deimos is the only cultist that will be come a lieutenant if he survives your story choices. Because all your family members, if they survive your decisions, will become lieutenants after you finished the family story.
@@T7PDM awww man you serious that sucks!
Hey i found a build that does a little bit more dmg
Kalon the Bloody Drizzle
Evie
Myrrine
Aya
It does more fire arrow dmg
Hey T7, i very like your videos and i realy appreciate you for all of your content! I have a question for u T7, what are u think about orichalcum spending? What is more profitabe? Spend all of ori on the olympian gifts or just buy 1-2 legendary items every week?
Only ever buy the items if they are good. Otherwise go for the gifts, because you usually get epics with very good stats and some unique epics like the Darsksteel mask with 100% Crit damage and Bandit bow with 50% crit damage.
Wen man die 3 Goldenen Söldner nieder schlägt und in einer reihe auflegt, geht es viel schneller nach dem Neu laden sie zu checken und eventuell wieder neu zu laden!
i just started playing last week and i'm already on lvl52 and story chapter 7. i really wanna go for your god mode warrior build asap when i'm on lvl99. thanks for all the amazing content, it really helps, and as someone who loves min-maxing and high dmg numbers your videos are simply perfect
Check the missable items videos part 1 and part 2:

Thank you so much for your videos, every time I watch'em, I realize how a noob I am and my self esteem falls to the ground. Sorry if annoying you 😅, maybe it was already covered, but does it matter the exact "slot position" of Legendary Lieutenants (like, e.g., for the weapons' slot order for your builds)?
The Lieutenants order does not matter.
@@T7PDM Got it, TYVM.
I love your videos, all the best information!
Excellent guide as usual; what happened to your nemesis JordanDoesn't? Has he given up?
I heard he got a new job and he is too busy, but recently said he will do something for Valhalla.
@@T7PDM Excellent, the 2 heavyweights of ACO builds will vie for the "World Record" in Valhalla
Funny i was level 9 and i got phokis one eyed king recruited as a crew! =)
I also used Odyssia at her temple to kill mercenaries twice my level (level 12 and killed level 38!) bad timing for mercenaries finding themselves near her templr at phokis hahaha.
Great video, but how can I recruit Athena, Lykourgos and Charon? I already have the others. Thanks
These are proposed Helix store Lieutenants, for the players who dont want to recruit the random ones.
Just complementing T7 PDM, you can also "buy" them using Orichalcum from the daily and weekly missions too, but this takes a little but of time to get the amount needed, and a great deal of pacience in waiting them to be avaliable on the Oikos Store in Phokis.
i noticed you can loot chests when u board ships which has treasure chest. more fun lol at gimes but ramming the pussycats into 2 is fun as well
Fighting everyone on board for looting 2 or 3 chests is a waste of time. Looted gear wont be perfect anywa,y. Use the blacksmith to get perfect gear.
@@T7PDM ah yes the BS. you should make a video with just the blacksmith glitch
Hey, bro. Great video as always! Umm, when we buy the Fate of Atlantis, all the episodes are already in the game right? Or we need to buy it one by one?
I think you can also buy it one by one, but the season pass is probably the best option.
@@T7PDM sorry, "season pass" means?
@@hanssebastian4713 The complete DLC package.
Whats the best way to make them drop without killing?
You have to get your bounty up, dude. Its simply the fastest way to do it.
@@T7PDM Sorry i dont think i phrased it correctly. But how do i make them drop to the floor/low hp without killing them when battling?
@@ProductionsJigsaw Use paralyzing arrows as shown in the video.
we're gonna need a bigger boat!!!
Hands down the most clearly explained guide on odyssey naval tactics. Much appreciated though I would like some alternative ways to firm crews where I wouldn't have to kill 40-50 civilians!! :v
just find a legendary polemarch in a fort (they spawn there with about 70% chance) stun him, drag out of fort, quick save, recruit. if you don't like the perks, just quickload, recruit. rinse and repeat.
Thank you
I have a hard time trying to knock down mercenaries I try getting them down very low then lose them and when they look for me I use the unharme strike what am I doing wrong. I'm running a assassin build and lvl 47 if That matters
Use paralizing arrows as shown in the video. They dont kill.
For me I like using the whole family since I'm playing as male character my four lieutenants are Cassandra,mom the wolf and the wolf son
Hello. As a new player your videos are very helpful. I was wondering how do you get that fourth weapon slot on the ship?
Its from the legacy addon.
@@T7PDM ok tyvm
So i just got back into Odyssey and was looking to farm lieutenants using the method you've shown, only issue is the mercs are spawning one at a time. I go through and massacre everyone to get the highest bounty, but only one merc is spawning at a time. Am I doing something wrong?
You have to have 5 mercs going after you then go to the position in the video and save the game, reload that save and all 5 will be on one side.
Pretty clever method for finding lieutenants. I may do that. I'm still using Helix store lieutenants. What ship skin are you using these days?
I use the celestial ship and crew with the glowing shields.
I thought so. I use the Celestial. Wasn't sure about the glowing shields or the crew.
@@brucehanify3892 The are really cool during nighttime, sadly I can barely see the enemy ships banner over night, so I have to play seabattles during daytime.
Hey man, love your vids man. Do you have a build for a hunter that utilizes the slo-mo jump? It worked much better in origins i think, here its short and you basically cant use your overpower abilities which makes you sacrifice absurd ammount of damage. Any ideas?
You should not bother using very situational useless things.Here are the best epic hunter builds you can make: ua-cam.com/video/yPZX-ubVZ9Y/v-deo.html
But the are outclassed by the glitch warrior which uses 200k hunter damage: ua-cam.com/video/EbTb6Yu6uCQ/v-deo.html
Good lord you are a pro.
i love this vid good job man!
Will someone tell me how to properly aim? I swear I miss half the time. The top of the white arc, straight across, pointed at the ship? Or sailers? Sail? Thanks.
Great video really good information. I love the naval battles primarily because I served eight years in the Navy. Is there a limit to the amount of Lieutenants you can have in your availability pool? Does dismissing Odessa matter?
I dont know about a limit. Odessa is not important.
@@T7PDM Thanks, so any idea what Marine damage and health are for?
@@yukikodavila4907 For your crew.
@@T7PDM During a battle? or is it for boarding because Lieutenants seem to be the ones that board. It's hard to distinguish during the battle.
@@yukikodavila4907 Lieutenants have a different perk.
Yo awesome video. Hey man I just got the game a few days ago and I have a question it might be a dumb one but I was just wondering if there was any easier way to get xp? All the videos I have found on UA-cam they were all late game
Stack on Contracts and do Atlantis as soon as you can some quests especially in Atlantis give you considerably more XP.
Don't worry about exp/level unless you want a skill point. Just keep an eye on the map to make sure you don't go somewhere too early . If you want SPs definitely look up maps for the tombs and the locations for enchantment clues.
To add on to T7 PDM
Don't stress about completing contracts early game, accept them ASAP when you get to new regions b/c of a story mission. Then just make sure to clear out every location you get to for a mission. You'll naturally complete contracts that way.
An exception are region specific (it doesn't say Greece) ones. Try to finish those before continuing the story.
How do you get Lykourgos and Athena?
In the background of every item in the game is a watermark indicating if its a main game item, a DLC item or a shop item. These ones are from the shop.
Any help with the saving and loading? I have reloaded 100 saves and cannot get the right perks. Either the symbols are wrong but if they are right I take them down and discover oh Speed Boost when Drifting.
You can put down all 5 mercs paralized next to each other on the ground and then reload to speed it up.
Damn, I just realized I've had sucky Lieutenants this whole time. Two of mine have +Lieutenant Health. :) Question...how do you get Myrrine as a Lieutenant? I've finished the base game (don't have the add-on's yet). Is there a way I can still get her on my ship?
You have to keep her alive in story. Start a new game plus to get another chance.
which ship design is that?
I think its from the Celestial Set. With Abstergo Figurehead.
@@T7PDM ok thanks
Keep doing this pal.. u smart.❤
Happy aidilfitri btw
another informative video cheers
Tbh I didn't need the help, I am basically a god at sea already.
I just like and appreciate your videos lol
how you get the 4th arsenal?
The flamethrower is part of the Legacy DLC.
