Are you trying to defeat the Kraken in Sea of Survivors and complete a run? Here’s everything you need to know to survive in the ocean.
Overall, the best tips involve using the Saber and Ram weapons, stacking damage, crit, armor, and health upgrades, and making sure to pick up as many treasures as possible.
In this guide, I will explain how to survive in Sea of Survivors for 20 minutes and defeat the Kraken to clear a run.
How to Survive for 20 Minutes – Best Build in Sea of Survivors
Before engaging with the Kraken, you’ll need to survive until the timer on the top right reaches 0. To do that, you need to focus on having the best build for your ship.
Specifically, the best weapons in Sea of Survivors are the Saber and the Ram. Start a run with the Saber and try to upgrade it as soon as possible since the upgrade will grant it lifesteal.
Then, on your first weapon pick-up, select the Ram. This combo will allow you to run straight through fleets of enemies without taking almost any damage.
This is because the Ram prevents you from taking any damage from the front while the Saber will deal with most enemies on the side while also healing you to full HP quickly due to lifesteal.
As for upgrades, I recommend increasing the damage, critical hit chance, and critical rate of the Saber as much as possible. The more damage it deals, the more HP you’ll heal from lifesteal.
Additionally, focus on defensive upgrades like armor and HP to ensure that you won’t ever reach low HP.
To make sure you have enough upgrades, always pursue treasures when they show up on your screen (symbol of an arrow pointing somewhere). With enough treasures and weapons, once the timer reaches 0, you’re ready to face the Kraken.
How to Defeat the Kraken in Sea of Survivors
It’s easy to get overwhelmed when the Kraken spawns since you’ll have a huge wave of enemies chasing you, a large Kraken in the middle of your screen, and tentacles everywhere else.
However, that’s where the Saber & Ram combo shines. Even if you run through ships and tentacles, you won’t take much damage and lifesteal will heal you back. Just make sure to avoid running through the Kraken.
The best way to defeat the Kraken in Sea of Survivors is to sail alongside it while having the Saber weapon. With enough precision, you can sail exactly alongside it to the point where you’ll constantly hit it with the sabers.
Occasionally, the Kraken will move slightly and damage you but all you need to do is position yourself alongside it again. With the lifesteal from the Sabers, even if it hits you, you’ll heal back up in no time.
With this strategy, it took me about 2 minutes to kill the Kraken from the second it spawned and my HP was always close to full.
Wrapping up
In conclusion, to defeat the Kraken in Sea of Survivors use the best weapons which are the Saber and the Ram, and sail alongside it. Make sure to be close enough for the saber to reach it and far enough to avoid getting hit.
Whenever the Kraken moves, change your position slightly and make sure to swim alongside it in the same path. With enough patience, you’ll kill it easily without losing almost any HP.
