Skull and Bones: The Ultimate Endless Requiem Torpedo Build for Blighter and Beyond
Nov-07-2025 PST
This setup focuses on raw toxic flooding damage, stacking projectile speed and damage amplification bonuses to turn every torpedo into a high-speed, armor-rending nightmare. Let's break down everything-weapons, armor, furniture, tuning, and tactics-so you can master this monstrous build.
Weapon Loadout: Endless Requiem and Daca Torpedoes
The heart of this build is the Endless Requiem, a toxic torpedo launcher that delivers punishing flooding damage while amplifying its own effectiveness with stacking bonuses.
Here's how the setup looks:
Front Slot: Daca Torpedo-Think of this as your opener. Like an ancient sea serpent, its projectiles pierce through multiple ships, tearing holes in their armor and setting up the enemy for massive follow-up hits.
Damage: ~2850 per torpedo
Effects: Noxious, Amplified Flooding, and Amplified Piercing
Use this first to strip armor by 200 points before unleashing your Endless Requiems.
Side Slots: Endless Requiem x2-These torpedo launchers are the build's main weapons. Each deals 2625 base damage and carries the same Noxious + Amplified Flooding traits. Their strength lies in how they scale with your furniture and tuning choices, rapidly increasing damage output the faster their projectiles travel.
Rear Slot: Daca Torpedo (Rear Mount)-With 2728 base damage, this rear-mounted version adds even more coverage during kiting maneuvers. It shares similar traits (Noxious, Lethal, Amplified Piercing), allowing you to stay on offense while repositioning.
Auxiliary and Armor Setup
Your Auxiliary module should be the Little Grace III, chosen for its balanced yet powerful traits:
Rapid Reload-Helps you maintain constant pressure with faster torpedo cooldowns.
Restorative-Gradually repairs your ship mid-battle, enhancing survivability.
Empower-Boosts overall combat effectiveness, complementing your offensive output.
For armor, the choice is the Nocturn Heart, which gives:
+15% Damage when above 75% hull health-encouraging aggressive, early strikes.
Rolled Stats: Strength / Maintenance / Maintenance-The double maintenance rolls make this armor one of the best for self-repair and sustainability during prolonged engagements.
The combination of Little Grace III and Nocturn Heart ensures your Blighter can stay healthy while dishing out maximum damage, maintaining that crucial damage bonus from Nocturn Heart as long as possible.
Furniture: Stacking Toxic and Flooding Bonuses
Furniture is where this build truly comes alive. Each piece contributes to stacking toxic weapon damage, flooding amplification, and most importantly, projectile speed-which synergizes directly with the Endless Requiem's mechanics.
Here's the recommended layout:
1.Siphon Furnace
If your target is poisoned, toxic weapons gain +10% damage.
+12% projectile speed and +10% maximum range for all toxic weapons.
This synergizes perfectly with your noxious torpedoes, making them faster, deadlier, and longer-ranged.
2.Caustic Spa Station
If flooding damage is dealt from over 200 meters, gain +13% flooding damage for 10 seconds.
For every 1% projectile speed bonus, you gain +1% flooding damage.
+10% damage vs flooded targets.
In other words, this turns your projectile speed stacking into direct bonus damage.
3.Tuning Station I
+20% secondary torpedo damage
+13% projectile speed
+10% torpedo range and-25% arming distance
This piece alone dramatically boosts both the speed and safety of your torpedoes, letting them detonate closer to the target while traveling faster than most ships can react.
It also grants +10% crew stamina regen while out of combat, which helps between fights.
4.Plaguebringer Ward
-7% reload time and +4% damage for toxic weapons.
Small, but critical-it reduces downtime between volleys and keeps your barrage constant.
5.Expanding Corkscrew Station
+12% secondary damage and +8% range for flooding weapons.
Completes the loop by pushing your effective torpedo range even higher.
Every piece ties into one another-projectile speed, range, flooding, and toxic scaling. By the time it's all combined, your Endless Requiem torpedoes hit harder, travel faster, and chain-react through targets, creating unstoppable waves of destruction.Synergy and How It Works
The synergy loop behind this build is simple but brilliant:
1.Start with the Daca Torpedo-Apply armor reduction and flooding.
2.Follow up with Endless Requiem-Boosted by projectile speed and toxic/flooding multipliers, these now strike for up to 11,000 damage per torpedo against unarmored or flooded ships.
3.Repeat with rear Daca or second volley-The first hit sets up the next. Flooded enemies take additional damage from every subsequent torpedo, creating a compounding effect that melts even large ships.
Because your furniture and tuning stations all multiply flooding damage with projectile speed, every additional upgrade to speed isn't just cosmetic-it's a direct increase in power output.
Combat Strategy: Farming and Engagement Tips
This build is deadly in both PvE farming and PvP ambush scenarios. Here's how to play it effectively:
1. Open from Range
Your torpedoes excel from 200+ meters away, where you gain extra flooding bonuses. Always start from a safe distance, fire your Daca to strip armor, then launch your Endless Requiems for massive burst.
2. Stay Mobile and Maintain Distance
The Blighter's speed and agility are its best defenses. Use your enhanced range and projectile speed to kite enemies, keeping them at mid-range where your damage bonuses remain active.
3. Prioritize Flooded or Poisoned Targets
Every bonus in your setup stacks against flooded or toxic enemies. Once your torpedoes inflict those effects, focus fire on the same target-don't switch prematurely.
4. Avoid Close-Quarters Brawls
This build lacks heavy armor or broadside cannons. You're a long-range assassin, not a brawler. If enemies close in, use your rear Daca torpedo to apply pressure while you retreat and reposition.
5. Exploit the Damage Window
When enemies are flooded, your torpedo damage skyrockets. The Caustic Spa Station and Expanding Corkscrew Station grant short-term flooding damage bonuses, so time your volleys to hit during those 10-second windows.
Farming Power: Efficiency at Sea
This setup isn't just for combat-it's also incredibly efficient for farming materials and loot. With projectile speeds boosted across multiple furniture slots, your torpedoes land faster, making fights shorter and cleaner.
Against convoys and merchant routes, you'll easily dispatch enemies in seconds, often before they even reach firing distance. The combination of flooding + toxic damage ensures quick kills and minimal repair downtime.
Players in the community report consistent results hitting 10,000–11,000 damage per torpedo, with near-instant kills on weaker ships. Farming becomes a breeze when every shot counts and your reloads are rapid.
Flexibility Across Ships
While this build shines brightest on the Blighter, it also works exceptionally well on other ship types:
Sloop or Schooner: Faster vessels that can utilize projectile speed and range for hit-and-run tactics.
Padewakang: A tankier option, trading agility for sustained barrages and survivability.
Brigantine: A balanced choice with room for experimentation-great for those who want power and resilience.
Each ship benefits from the same Endless Requiem + Daca synergy, though tuning and armor may vary depending on your preferred playstyle.
Final Thoughts: The Flooding King of the Seas
The Endless Requiem Build is easily one of the most versatile and lethal torpedo setups in Skull and Bones. With the right combination of toxic amplification, projectile speed stacking, more Skull and Bones Silver and armor synergy, you can turn any mid-range encounter into a quick and decisive victory.
The key to mastering it lies in timing, positioning, and understanding your bonuses-every 1% speed boost, every second of flooding uptime, and every armor reduction adds up to an avalanche of damage.
