It sounds like you’re still getting the hang of it. Most players you face have had years of experience. Stick with it! Here are some tips: team up with someone who knows the ropes, focus on keeping your angle while sailing, and don’t sweat repairs too much unless you’re taking on a lot of damage. Keep grinding and you’ll improve!

Just remember, it’s a steep learning curve. Focus on your cannon aim, and pay attention to what your opponents do to you. Try to notice the strategies that work against you and adapt your playstyle accordingly. And definitely utilize the blunderbuss and eye of reach combo, it can be a game changer!
