HOW TO SOLO against bigger crews in SEA OF THIEVES!

[@nightwings8984]

This is how you go against bigger crews. Find the players who have less than 10 hours in the game and have no idea what they are doing. And kill them.

[@alexthekiller1750]

That what i thought

[@mird5350]

They're literally chasing him

[@nightwings8984]

@@mird5350 doesnt mean they know what they are doing

[@quinncovill9042]

Every sot streamer the same they always bragging how they dunked on somebody who doesn’t play the game 24/7. And sot streamers never look that good especially with the shit my crew pulls off

[@MrKlarc19]

I just downloaded the game the other day. Never played before. I pulled out of the outpost and noticed I had someone on my boat. I never played before and was confused he set my ship on fire and killed me. I was like ok so I respawned and I was back on my boat. 2 min later I had a giant boat beside me blowing me up. Fun game.

[@ethanflores1844]

Damn the players I go against usually fight back

[@deepfriedguy3240]

Frrr

[@neftalicruzluciano]

So i came here to see a short on HOW TO SOLO and then you showed me HOW LUCKY YOU WERE to fight some noobs then the vid ends. Thanx i needed it.

[@Tuck213]

But he's right! These are the kind of incompetent crews that you'll run into all the time and the way to beat them is to just attack fearlessly

[@olliemilward5237]

The key is to fight crews u know u can win against

[@synthemagician4686]

Facts. Too many people saying these players were just swabbies, or they would do X to come out on top because they are amazing at the game. Picking your battles is the smartest thing you can do.

[@Reltic.]

​@synthemagician4686 you know it's pretty easy for a sloop to sink a galleon or a brig, so it's not just picking your battles, just gotta be good at the game.

[@pdxcorgidad]

​@@Reltic. Hitting the Galleon at that water line and then a ballast ball. Game, set, match.

[@bepis_lord7883]

I love the part where he explains how to fight bigger crews (like the title implies he is going to do)

[@cosmicvoid-]

And then shows footage of him getting lucky against a bigger ship bc the other people were dumb and didnt fix their ship. They couldve easily beat him if they have played for more than a day

[@ksms-ki2qv]

Every time a bigger ship appears in the horizon my ship gets bombarded by hundreds of cannonballs with pinpoint accuracy effectively killing everyone on the deck and wrecking the ship in seconds, these guys were just looking at your ship waiting for a bigass cannonball to hit their face.

[@dakotalyates]

One day you will be the ship with the insane accuracy don’t you worry! It is a great feeling when you get there 😂

[@JFKLSD8659]

Dude on the mast literally got hit with 2 sniper shots and just stood there like 🧍‍♂️ "Huh, musta been the wind"

[@danielsolano1284]

You know these guys were probably curious and just minding their own business and this guy out of nowhere probably just started to shoot

[@futureshadowlp334]

I wish I would get on a server with guys like that but no. Only tryhards for me 💀

[@pdxcorgidad]

Kinda feel like this streamer is one of those try hards.

[@Harryjordan]

This video is a great example of what you shouldn't do as a solo

[@pdxcorgidad]

Right? How the hell was that other crew not boarding? And the streamer didn't throw even one blunder bomb, let alone a fire. I'm like...Uhhh...

[@Alx-je7oj]

Phussybond or whatever his.name is I forgot is the goat at teaching solo strats. He is the best, he can teach anyone good to become almost undefeatable as a solo sloop

[@pdxcorgidad]

@@Alx-je7oj Agreed. There is a certain amount of coordination and ability to be really good, but he's absolutely a great teacher.

[@codyh4434]

This is exactly how you lose a fight as a solo if you’re going against people with more than 10 hours of game time

[@Devtryak]

The key to Sea of Thieves is to stay calm. To do this, focus on your breathing and don't let anything bother you, like trash talk or how many times you've been killed, just keep calm, though this does need to be refined over a while

[@Royal-xr7gt]

any advice on this?

[@timeagenty4560]

​​@@Royal-xr7gt pretty certain Phuzzybond's got videos on this sort of thing. But something that's helped me at least is to accept that losses happen, anything and everything that can discourage you will happen. Embrace this fact, but don't lose hope and don't give up, this is a chance to make a bold play. If it pays off, look back and see what you did that won the day, if not, pick apart what they did to counter it. If you're back is up against the wall, Fight in such a way you go down satisfied. Take a chance. Remember that trash talk is only talk. It can distract you ONLY if you let it. Study other people's approaches, experiment, see what works and practice. It's going to be a long road. But above all, don't give up. Hope this helps

After a while, you place less stake on your loot. When you don't fear losing your loot, you can stay level headed in battle.

[@dakotalyates]

Inky kraken sails….. that’s how you solo a brig 😂

[@qwcd]

sinking swabbies is never a challenge

[@zhang4927]

It’s not about the crew size, it’s the skill cap of each player on the ship. Having 4 new player is very different from 4 sweat lsd that still live in mama’s basement is very different

[@freddiekay]

Now do one where the opposing crew doesn't have the Inky Kraken set.

[@THE_Lorde]

Yeah they are wannabe sweats

[@best_gamer2372]

the key is to be lucky enough to find your self against new playes who doesnt even repaire

[@sparrowsbewertungen6930]

This depends on the crew competence

[@jerictenebro6426]

Everyone gangsta when the Kraken shows up in the middle of a fight.

[@diesel4ever273]

My crew is so cursed we, always have something show up on us. A Galleon came while we were just 2 on a brig. We put some holes and fled. Soon enough, the kraken comes and the Galleon catches us. We sank it, beat the kraken and then a pirate steers away from another player ship to attack us instead. We're trying to run to sell loot and a megalodon spawns and chases us while biting for 15min. He flees and a skeleton galleon spawns. We survived out of pure luck

[@Ra1nRover]

Behold ladies and gentlemen, that guy.

[@user-ym3wy4to5b]

I found that the most effective way to deal with people like this is looking more intimidating then you are. I have found that when you are solo, shooting for the helm and the bottom of the boat is best. Most crews will run away and won’t turn back if you just hit a few lucky shots

[@Heycrew.486]

You got lucky your on PC with good wifi your a skilled player and clearly you got put up against rookie pirates it's always hard

[@sudsyone4041]

Took out a galleon by myself. All my friends on our brig were yelling at me not to do it until they saw the galleon sail around the corner of the island on fire. Was some of the most fun I’ve ever had in a game

got the obsidian sniper and other pieces of obsidian gear through game pass ultimate and it pissed off my veteran sot player and i love reminding him.

[@treenoss5066]

The night i became pirate legend, right after exiting the cave, i solod a bright by myself and that was such a booster to my ego lol

[@P0tat0_L0rd]

Turn on server hitmarkers, you can only get hitmarkers when they actually do damage

[@jayybrodiemusic]

Seeing him chase I knew he just started, I know this because I just started but barely realized that if they are outrunning you, grapple and turn slightly towards the opposite direction and it slows them and has your multiple cannons on their side. Also, use sails for quick maneuvering or turns without actually sailing ahead of them. I recommend getting use to the sloops alone first. Go to faction battles, 1v1 and find matches. I did that for a couple days and I feel much more confident now than my first days. Practice and battle.

[@Delta37815]

Once I was in a sloop with the chest of siren song and this galleon with Reapers bones emissary pull up. I shot them twice and they backed off immediately. They didn't even fire a single shot.

[@hyka5135]

Hit reg at the beginning was a beautiful touch

I was playing sea of thieves yesterday on my galleon and we fought some skeleton fleets that had cursed balls. They made it tough for us to use our cannons much. But when we did, we gave the skeleton fleets hell.

Thx man this helped a bit with my stuff, what was that rapid fire cannon ball u used?

It's the "movie magic"-ball! 😅 It would be awesome if we were actually able to rapid fire in Sea of Thieves tho!

[@Healedsqeesh]

I opted to play local server for my first game. Its fun for right now. Im just afraid once i switch to online servers I'll just be spawn killed for nothing.

[@irishfaithful]

That was probably a 2 man brig. I know when I face a brig they’re already harpooning me and sniping as soon as I go to turn. Then if I’m lucky I’ll get away only to be boarded with a cannon shot

[@bobmcbob49]

I'm generally very lucky with PVP as a solo. Somehow the other crew always has a keg that I hit even if I didn't see it.

Usually if I solo a galleon or a brig I just shoot two 10-20 cannons into them from afar then cannon over killing the crew over end over till they sink, but one-balling the whole crew would be the ultimate satisfaction🤝🤝

[@frog_man_ree]

I only won against a galleon, because half the crew was braindead,a megalodon spawned and was fighting them, and because i had no treasure, so i was willing to be reckless

How can you increase the sensetivity on cannons? When I use keys it goes faster but when I use Mouse its giga slow and idk which sense setting increases cannons aim

As a solo player I can't tell.you how hard it is to play with other players on larger ships! 😂

[@mattsocal2010]

Soooo practice firing cannons for hours on end ...because I can't hit a damn thing with those 😂

[@HockeyWerewolf]

It really helps to pick the right cannon skin for you. Many of the skins flare out towards the end of the barrell which obscures your view. One of the best cannons to use is...the default cannons. They give you excellent visability. The streamer here is using the golden cannons (I use them too) they are the exact same as the basic cannons but with a little bit of gold colouring on them, they were given out during an event though. Another good option are the Hunters Call cannons, I can't remember what level you need to be with them to purchase them, but they are pretty and easy to see with.

[@mattsocal2010]

@@HockeyWerewolf Good tip, much appreciated! I've been using the Merchant Alliance cannons though I did like the default ones for that same reason, I'll try that out, thanks!

[@minigrizzz4509]

The key I have found as a person who solo sloops its to know what battle you can win and what ones you don’t think you can for example look at the ship cosmetics are they all from the pirate emporium then they’re probably new so you know if they want to attack you you will know if you can win or not but if they have high level cosmetics maybe stay away

[@Tuck213]

To win as a solo you need: - skill - to understand that most crews have one sweatlord and two noobs, they don't work together well - no fear of losing

[@nickvalentine6438]

Always try to avoid broadside and it'll develop a deadly skill

[@furyan3136]

And keep distance! Most people can't hit shots from a distance so if you can, you can hit them and not get hit and maybe even board(which you can't do against a good crew unless you deckshot) but let's be real, you'd have to be absolutely insane to solo a good crew.

[@christianbass7244]

sloop is the hardest ship to sink, fastest ship to sail against the wind. 😊

[@Light0911]

[@xertion8567]

I think a better way to phrase it is when you go against a galleon theres a 50/50 chance that its a group of players who at least have an idea of how to play the game, or theyre complete noobs like these guys who either dont know they can even operate the cannons and if they do theyre probably gonna miss their shots.

[@synthemagician4686]

I find that if I'm on a sloop, I can fuck shit up. I love HG and do decent with it. But with bigger ships it's more likely I'm playing with casual friends, and they cannot keep up with the PVP scene (They even may sink to the PVE enemies), and it is impossible for me to carry. A lot of big ships aren't full of skilled players.

[@Snack2829]

If you go solo like that (broad to broad) you gonna be demolished by average crew.

Dude earlier today I was EMBARRASSING this galleon crew of 3, so what happened is I was diving in order to kill Ashen lords for an accommodatio, and so I pulled up and saw (gave me a heart attack for a sec) a level 5 reaper emissary galleon that was already fighting the Ashen lord, so I swim over and try to be friendly and all seems fine, for about 30 seconds which is when one of them try’s attacking me and the other two go to blow up my ship, and after they blow up my ship I proceed to kill them 6 TIMES WITHOUT DYING, but I did eventually go down before getting seven, Noobs 😂
