Hull Bracings
April 17, 2026 at 05:36 PM
Hull Bracings are the defensive plating that fits your ship's hull slot. Windrose offers one baseline and three modded lines (Keelhold, Iron Resolve, Standfast), each with a base (Rare) and Ascended (Epic) tier. Each line trades hitpoints, repair-uptime, or material cost, so the right bracing depends on whether you're running siege slugfests, trade runs, or cheap scouting missions.
Bracing | Effect | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
Keelhold | Taking damage no longer affects the duration of repair kits | Long slugfests where repair uptime is the limiting factor |
Iron Resolve | Fortified hull: higher raw HP pool under combat | Tanking heavy broadsides and surviving prolonged engagements |
Standfast | Improvised bracing: cheaper mats, modest HP bonus | Budget PvE scouting and short trade runs |
Image | Bracing | Tier | Rarity | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base | Uncommon | Standard timber bracing for baseline ship survivability | |
| Base Mod | Rare | Taking damage no longer affects repair-kit duration | |
| Epic Ascended | Epic | Taking damage no longer affects repair-kit duration | |
| Base Mod | Rare | Fortified hull: higher raw HP under combat | |
| Epic Ascended | Epic | Fortified hull: higher raw HP under combat | |
| Base Mod | Rare | Improvised hull: trades raw HP for cheap material cost | |
| Epic Ascended | Epic | Improvised hull: trades raw HP for cheap material cost |
