When to choose this captain
The most boring person you've ever met.
Turret & Arrow: Use the neutral option while learning the route and active timing.
Ice Mine & Mortar: Leaves movement and ability timing straightforward while you learn where the rear attacks land.
Ram & Nitro: Practice the collision route without a captain-specific movement or incoming-damage penalty.
Cannon Broadside: Use while practising the broadside angle and reading enemy cannon fire.
Barracks Army: Use while learning to keep the army engaged without accepting Empress’s speed penalty.
Fire & Craters: Learn the flame coverage and escape route with a neutral captain before adding Pyromaniac’s trade-off.
Companion Hammer Army: Use the neutral captain while learning how close to keep the hammer companion to each fight.
Spiderburg Lightning & Mortar: Keeps the active cooldowns free of a captain penalty while you learn the approach and retreat.
Norbert The Normal costs 1000 silver. Compare this purchase with the core module unlock you need next.
Loadout trade-offs
Read the benefit and penalty together. Choose equipment that uses the positive effect, then plan movement and cooldown timing around the disadvantage.
Keep the rest of the loadout familiar when trying a new captain. Compare one ordinary encounter and one boss approach before changing the whole build, so you can see whether the captain solves your current problem.
