Let’s get right into this guide!

Understanding the Gameplay Mechanics

The gameplay mechanics of Lord of Seas: Odyssey are pretty simple – it starts with some basic city-building features and later on expands into a full-fledged RTS title. Players are required to take their city from a Stone Age setting to the Industrial Age. You need to construct and upgrade different buildings all the time. The combat sequences are pretty auto-friendly, and there is little to nothing that you can do manually. Players need to prepare for combat as the core strategy lies in that. Combat happens only in the sea and not on the land. Players are required to create a healthy line-up consisting of their ship, a commanding hero, and a sufficient number of troops. Of course, you can also use some buffs to enhance your troops and hero’s stats.

The combat is relatively easy, and you can get the results of the match in your mail as soon as it is over. However, the game gets more complex as you progress since many other factors are added. These include the strength of your heroes, the type of ships, the number of troops, buffs, debuffs, etc. We recommend checking out the battle results and finding flaws in your team (if they lose) or the pros of your team (if they win). It’s an ever-evolving game of strategy, and many factors must be accounted for when making your team.

One such factor remains the type of hero you choose to command your troops. Heroes have an affinity towards a particular set of troops, whom they can command easily and provide buffs. For example, the free hero Gibbs can help alleviate some time taken in training all types of troops. Similarly, the free Epic hero Giovanni Caboto helps increase the damage and mobility of Cannon troops only. The kind of Ship you use in a line-up also plays a vital part in your strategy. Like heroes, the Ships also have some affinity towards a particular troop type. A healthy synergy between your ship, hero, and troops is recommended for the best setup.

Understanding the Contract System

Lord of Seas: Odyssey has a full-fledged gacha system known as “Contract.” It is available inside the Tavern building. Contracts come in 2 types – Basic Contracts and Exotic Contracts. Players get a free Basic Contract for 8 hours each day. On the other hand, Exotic Contracts need to be earned via quests, events, or purchased via Gems. These contracts offer players luxurious items and sometimes even hero/hero shards. The items include the likes of Oranges, Wood, Speed-Ups, and more. Players can even get Mythical grade heroes from Exotic Contracts. It costs 1200 Gems to purchase 1 Exotic Contract. It costs 300 Gems to buy 1 Basic Contract. You can check the probabilities of all items in-game for a more detailed explanation.
