Its a little misleading. You can still upgrade both paths. So pick the one you want more and do the other after
Do You Know That They Make A Skill Tree Just So The Players Feel Like The Other One Is More Powerful Even Though Upgrading Them Both Leads To The Same Way
Yeah the choice isn't about what your pirates will end up like, it's about choosing which abilities you want first. I went heavy on damage basically. Anything that led to more damage made me happy.
For bucs do def. I use them as tanks to take hits for my gunners. Gunners do attack. After you finish def go down attack path.
Since my strategy still involves spray and pray when fighting, I just upgrade whatever I have grog for. Good strategy. Of course not. Lazy strategy, yes that's why I like it.
Spray and pray, baby. Not just the best advice I've gotten on the forum, but also my new mantra. U rock Monkey!!!
Defence: Bucs Brutes Juggs Attack: Gunner Sky Raider Bomber I think these are the main recruiting choices.
