Updated 2026-09-03How we rank
Tiers weigh observed raid outcomes (what actually stops a chest theft or wins a boarding), confirmed mechanics from the dev team's answers in the official Discord, and material cost. The developer ships updates every Saturday — tiers are re-verified after each patch. Related: all guides · best defense guide · how to raid.
