Brigantine
Solo Pick
Sloop
Pick your Windrose ship by job, not by size. The Sloop is easiest to maneuver, the Brigantine is the safest all-rounder, and the Frigate is a commitment to firepower and crew coordination.
| Ship | Best Use | Handling | Firepower | Durability | Recommended For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sloop | Solo scouting, fast travel between islands | Fast | Low | Low | New solo players |
| Brigantine | Balanced exploration and co-op combat | Medium | Medium | Medium | Most crews |
| Frigate | Heavy naval battles and late fights | Slow | High | High | Prepared groups |
Quick Recommendation
For most players, build toward the Brigantine. It has enough control for exploration and enough strength for fights without forcing the slow handling of a Frigate.
