Which Wanderburg captain fits your build?

Compare all 14 captains below, including their tradeoffs and Silver prices. Choose your main attack first: a captain that rewards cannons, automatic fire or friendly units needs the matching equipment to make use of that bonus.

Five captain buffs in 0.9.10

These changes reduce penalties. They do not remove them. PatchyThePirate is listed here as Patchy The Pirate; Kapitalstus Maximus is listed as Kapitalistus Maximus.

Captain	Current penalty	Build or route
Patchy The Pirate	Extra damage from enemy cannons: +25%	Cannon broadside build Your cannon bonus stays useful, but enemy cannon volleys still punish broadside trades.
Kapitalistus Maximus	Gold earned during a run: −15%	Silver farming and purchase budgets Keep the Silver goal separate from your in-run gold budget; fewer upgrades can still cost a clear.
Huntress	Extra ability recharge time: +40%	Arrow build and Huntress variant Build around automatic attacks and save active abilities for planned bursts.
Tankbert	Nitro regeneration penalty: 30% slower	Spider hit-and-run and escape planning Leave a nitro reserve; health growth does not remove the need to escape.
Duelist	Extra damage taken while boosting: +20%	Ram positioning and boost management Use short melee approaches with an exit route. Boosting still increases incoming damage.

Summons, music or a driving challenge?

Empress spawns 100% more friendly units at the cost of 30% speed. Start with the summon build and leave space for the slower vehicle to escape.
Sire Jonah plays techno music and costs 2,222 Silver. His listed benefit is music; do not budget around an unlisted combat bonus.
Dieter The Drunk trades wobbly controls for luck and costs 5,000 Silver. Practise steering before attempting a tight collision route.

For the remaining captains, open their cards below and compare the listed effects and purchase requirements. A higher price does not establish a higher tier.
