Sea of Thieves: Solo Sloop and How to Defend [Sloop Survival]

Sea of Thieves: Solo Sloop and How to Defend [Sloop Survival] When you pretend you are busy doing something else, the enemy always lowers their guard. As shown on several of my other videos. Here, I revealed to that sloop by raising my sails and stopping at the nearest island that I am unaware and about to dig up some chests. Typically a sailor would keep a distance or stay in a circular motion around his voyage location to defend his ship before stepping into the island, but that only tells the other vessel that you're aware of their presence.
In this video, I will show you how to defend your ship, especially if you are solo, and make the best of your surroundings. I will highlight the scenarios and decisions of this encounter while narrating over how and why I took these decisions. Phuzzy here, bringing you honest guides and gameplays, so sit back, relax and enjoy.

Literally just started playing 2 days ago bc I’m a huge ark and ac black flag fan. Me and my buddy crew up from time to time but I go solo otherwise. Yesterday I got grieved by some randos with no point in their destruction as I tried to turn in some quests. They really caught me off guard which caused me to be more cautious going forward. I’m now here trying to learn a few strategies to counter larger groups of folk. Solo slopping is just sweaty enough to entice me but casual enough to be fun even with alone. Learning is only fun if the education pays off so wish me luck as I try and take on any crew I see on the horizon😎👍🏻

Yesterday, I encountered a Royal Sovereign-themed Sloop and upon engaging, I noticed 3 things: the guy pulled really smart maneuvers, he was amazing at shooting cannons, and he never said anything toxic despite being attacked. My excitement skyrocketed for a second, I had to be fighting the one and only Phuzzy Bond... I boarded the sloop with my heart pounding of excitement, ready for the day HAYL1311 would test his mettle against the mighty Phuzz... But of course, it was just a savvy pirate with a fondness for green ships...

@charlesmarchand9098 3 жыл бұрын

1. Play dumb, pretend you didn't see them by "going to an island". 2. Hiding inside the ship and emote to view outside the small window. 3. Once out of their vision, turn around and get ready, surprise them with anchor and/or chain shot. 4. BLIND SPOT : Leave the player alive in the water if too close to mermaid but too far to board. 5. Use the window inside the ship to "normal" bomb (Not sure what its called) on the windows corner, which pushes them off. Thanks to you I'm growing quickly in skills and I even surprise long time players when I tell them how long I've been playing! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your tips!

Phuzzy... I've been pretty vocal with my issues about what a lot of players do on this game... some things that even you do. but in watching your videos, you seem to have a much better mindset about the game than what I've perceived in people who do that (that, being attacking people who are minding their own business and/or aren't interested in the pvp aspects of the game)... I've seen content makers who basically are jerks about it... pompous, seemingly sadistic (in the enjoyment they seem to get from ruining another's time)... but you don't fit that bill. it actually makes me question my perception of said topic... exacerbating my introspection... which i think is important and i find myself thankful to you for having that impact on me. in any case, i appreciate what you do on here and in game and have much respect for you, for it. you make it seem not so bad. also, a side note, I think it's wonderful that you and Jackie share in the game together. I love watching the videos of you two playing together. (yes, I'm subbed)

your problem is thinking that everyone that engages in pvp is just trying to ruin someone elses day. Its a pirate game. If im trying to go to an island to dig up some treasure and i see your boat chillin on the same island, im going to engage you or lure you away to the open ocean and get you to either a)sink or b)get so bored of chasing me you give up and sail off. PvP makes this game fun, and its not just for PvP's sake.

@same8307 4 жыл бұрын

I think some of the most important initial things to do if you are solo is to A) anchor your opponent B) drop their mast C) Firebomb. You are at a natural disadvantage and so it is crucial to even the playing field by "removing" the extra player advantage on your opponent's ship. If it's 2v1 and your opponent is even mediocre you're going to have a hard time unless you do one of those things. Here, the guy essentially eliminated himself. NEVER board if you're solo unless you have 0 holes on your ship, you don't expect the ship to take damage while you're away from it, and your opponents are heavily distracted because they're either bailing or dead and they're taking on water. If your opponent gets up the ladder, you MUST NOT DIE. If you die, it's your ship's death sentence. You must NOT allow yourself to be boarded.

when I used the chain shot I noticed that sometimes the chain shot clips through the mast, I usually aim mid way up but would it be more beneficial to aim lower where it’s thicker, or destroy their capstan with one after running them into an island and getting them to anchor turn?

@PhuzzyBond 4 жыл бұрын

Mast is always most effective, or wheel, better than Capstan. Unless it's a galleon, then capstan will be very effective. As for clipping through, that's a hitreg problem I hope they fix soon

I protect myself (new player, solo sloop) against pirate legend sails by sailing to the end of the world and making any loot unavailable for them. Just today, a 2 man sloop followed me halfway through the map. I did see the alliance flag and when I went into the water to "talk to them" the started shooting me so I knew what I had to do. Once my ship sank and the loot disappeared, they left the server (got booted to a new one). Go figure... all they want to do is grief
