About

These don’t have an impressive array of guns on each broadside. Instead, they boast a very devastating armament on the bow, perfect for unleashing just before launching a Boarding Action. When they do fight in a Boarding Action, they can unleash their special Decimate ability to try and reduce the CS of the enemy ship, as the assassins target the imposing figures lining up against them. If the ship has also been upgraded with members of the Blade Dancers within its crew, it can also reroll some of the attacks that miss, as the frenzied warrior women unleash their vengeance upon whatever sorry foe is in front of them.

Speaking of sturdy, the Twilight Kin ships aren’t as sturdy as those of most other fleets, and so need to be looked after to avoid an early watery grave. This also means that they can’t go around ramming into anything and everything like orcs do. So, how do the Twilight Kin captains board ships that simply try to run by sailing at Full Speed? Well, they have a unique upgrade, the Barbed Harpoon, that can be used to attempt to grapple ships that are trying to avoid their clutches. This is a one use only ability however, so care must be taken to use at the appropriate time.
