If you've been looking for a way to melt forts like Wolven Hall 4 with minimal stress, the Patty Wakan siege build is about to become your new favorite setup. Designed around explosive firepower, durability, and reliable healing, this build turns the Patty Wakan into a floating fortress-killer. While there are other viable ship loadouts, this one is all about raw siege damage and sustained combat, making it one of the most efficient builds for fort assaults.

 

In this article, we'll break down everything you need to know: ship setup, weapon choices, Skull and Bones Items, armor, furniture perks, and strategies for tearing down forts like Wolven Hall 4. By the end, you'll be ready to sail into battle and rack up serious loot with confidence.

 

Why the Patty Wakan?

 

The Patty Wakan is a powerhouse when it comes to destroying static defenses. As a floating siege weapon, it boasts high explosive output and a siege-focused bonus system:

 

 Explosive Hits: 70% chance to trigger an explosion dealing 1,000 damage within a 125m radius.

 Bonus Explosions: If the target is ablaze, an additional explosion is guaranteed, compounding your damage output.

 Structural Damage Boost: Deals 50% increased damage to structures, making it ideal for forts.

 Siege Mode: At half sails or anchored, weapon damage increases by 35%, and reload time for explosive weapons decreases by 15%.

 

In addition, the Patty Wakan supports four broadside top-deck cannons, allowing you to layer devastating volleys while staying in a favorable position for siege damage.

 

Weapon Loadout: Maximum Explosions and Sustain

 

Front and Rear Cannons: Nashkars

 

 Why Nashkars? These cannons are excellent for weak point damage and self-sustain. With Ghastly Mending, 5% of all damage dealt is converted to hull health, and weak point hits increase healing by 700%.

 Damage Types: Burning, piercing, shock, and double siege effects on the front cannon. The rear Nashkar adds combustion and explosive perks for even more versatility.

 

This setup ensures that while you deal massive damage, you also stay healthy throughout the fight. Weak point shots against forts trigger huge healing bursts.

 

Broadside Bombards: Monsmeg Freeze

 

This is the core of the build:

 Siege Damage: +50% damage to structures.

 Piercing: +50% damage to weak points.

 Shock and Long Arm: Shock adds utility, while Long Arm increases damage from max range.

 

Both sides of the ship are equipped with identical Monsmeg Freeze bombards, ensuring consistent explosive coverage. These weapons shred fort walls, towers, and weak points with ease.

 

Auxiliary Weapon: Little Grace III

 

While the Roaring Meg is an interesting alternative, the Little Grace III stands out for this build because of its healing capability. When combined with Ghastly Mending on the Nashkars, your sustain skyrockets, letting you tank incoming fire during prolonged sieges.

 

The auxiliary weapon also benefits from Empower, boosting weapon damage by 15% during combat.

 

Armor Setup: Tanking Fort Fire

 

The Rim High Armor from William Blackwood is the perfect defensive choice:

 

 Entrenched: Reduces structure damage taken by 5%, plus 1% for every 3,000 brace strength.

 Bastion: While at half sails or anchored, damage taken is reduced by 20%.

 

This synergizes perfectly with the Patty Wakan's siege bonus, allowing you to stay in half-sail mode while trading blows with fort defenses.

 

Furniture Configuration: Explosions on Steroids

 

Your furniture setup enhances explosive weaponry and structural damage:

 

Rim's Breath Churner:

 +5% explosive weapon damage.

 +20% secondary explosive weapon damage.

 

Bomar Minuri I:

 +10% bombard damage.

 +8% damage to structures.

 +5% repair amount for repair weapons (helps Little Grace III).

 

Charge Stores:

 +5% damage for electric weapons.

 

Ammo Priming Bench (William Blackwood):

 +20% structural damage for siege weapons.

 +80% repair amount when 160m or more from a target.

 +10% projectile speed for siege weapons.

 

Shell Packing Station:

 +5% area of effect radius for bombards.

 -5% reload time for bombards.

 

Bombard Works I:

 +90% secondary bombard damage (critical for burst output).

 

This furniture layout maximizes both damage and utility, making your volleys devastating even against heavily armored targets.

 

Tactics for Wolven Hall 4

 

1. Starting the Event

To engage the Wolven Hall 4 fort:

 Open your journal and switch to the world icon to locate Wolves Hollow.

 Ensure you are in World Tier 2 for the event to appear.

 Pick up the 500 Pieces of Eight bounty from William Blackwood for bonus rewards.

 

2. Positioning for Siege Mode

Stay at half sails or anchor to maintain the 35% siege weapon bonus and reduced reload times. Circle around the fort while targeting weak points, especially on the upper sections, as these have reduced resistance compared to the lower walls.3. Focus on Weak Points

The Monsmeg Freeze bombards shine when hitting weak points:

 Each successful volley can deal 100k–120k damage.

 Weak point crits amplify the healing effects from Nashkars, keeping your hull topped up.

 

4. Managing Aggro and Fire

Mortars and fort cannons will often focus on you if your damage is high. Use the Patty Wakan's high brace strength combined with Rim High Armor to tank hits.

If health drops, rotate the ship to use the Little Grace III for emergency repairs while continuing to bombard from a safe angle.

 

5. Timing Your Shots

Forts have damage-reduction mechanics on certain areas. Aim for the topmost weak points for full damage. Even without weak point crits, your bombards will deal impressive base damage due to the build's siege multipliers.

 

Loot and Rewards

 

Taking down Wolven Hall 4 yields:

 Deck Weapon Caches.

 Deep Iron x5 (or more on repeat runs).

 Ascension weapons from event rewards.

 

With the Patty Wakan build, you can reliably farm these rewards while supporting your team with both high damage and sustain.

 

Why Not Brick Breakers?

 

Some players argue that Brick Breakers are better siege weapons due to their raw DPS. While they are strong, the Monsmeg Freeze combo with siege furniture outperforms them in burst damage and AoE coverage.

 

The Patty Wakan's eight cannon slots per side also scale better with bombards, allowing massive damage volleys that clear structures quickly. Brick Breakers could be tested in a future variation, but for now, Monsmeg Freeze is the most balanced option for fort takedowns.

 

Final Thoughts on the Patty Wakan Siege Build

 

The Patty Wakan is an absolute fort killer when outfitted with explosive-heavy weaponry and siege-focused furniture. This build excels at:

 

 High burst damage with Monsmeg Freeze bombards.

 Sustain through Nashkar healing and Little Grace III.

 Tanking capability with Rim High Armor and brace strength.

 

If your goal is to farm forts like Wolven Hall 4 for loot, resources, more cheap Skull and Bones Silver and ascension weapons, this build provides a reliable path to victory.
