Overview
Pirates arrive on their ships with a rapier and a pistol. Rapier skills stab enemies up close, pistol skills shoot from range, and the class is built around marking targets and then punishing them with Eagle Eye.
Pirates also follow special PK rules. When a Pirate kills someone, the chance that items drop from the victim's inventory is doubled, and the same doubled chance applies when a Pirate is killed (only droppable items). In return, a Pirate gets only 5 PK points per kill, and so does anyone who kills a Pirate.
Their gear runs up to level 140: rapiers from the Recruit Rapier (level 10) to the Captain Rapier, pistols from the Recruit Pistol (level 10) to the Lord Pistol, coats from the Recruit Coat (level 15) to the Dark Dragon Coat, and hats from the Patrol Hood (level 15) to the Dominator Hat.

XP skills
| Picture | XP skill |
|---|---|
 | Cannon Barrage: every Pirate is born with it. Every 2 seconds it hits everything within 5 paces: 400% damage to monsters, 100% to bosses and 10% to players. |
 | Blackbeard's Rage (level 40, needs a pistol): each shot hits up to 3 targets, for 40% damage to monsters and 20% to players. Damage and targets grow as it levels up. |
Skills and passives
| Picture | Skill |
|---|---|
 | Blade Tempest (level 15, rapier): stabs every enemy in a square area around the Pirate, for 20 stamina. It applies Black Spot if you know it, and resets the cooldown of Eagle Eye. |
 | Gale Bomb (level 15): throws a bomb that hits 2 enemies within 5 paces and pushes them back 5 paces. 20 stamina, 20-second cooldown. The bigger the Battle Power gap, the lower its hit rate. |
 | Eagle Eye (level 40, pistol): a pistol shot with a 20-second cooldown. If the target carries a Black Spot, the cooldown is reset at once, so marked enemies can be shot again and again. |
 | WindStorm (passive, level 15, rapier): gives a chance to hit a combo, from 45% rising to 60%; the chance is lower against players. |
 | Adrenaline Rush (passive, level 40): when you take damage there is a 25% up to 35% chance that Eagle Eye's cooldown ends. |
 | Black Spot (passive, level 70): after you deal damage there is a 25% up to 35% chance to mark the enemy with a Black Spot that cannot be removed. Eagle Eye on a marked enemy triggers Adrenaline Rush. |
Rebirth and pure skills
| Picture | Skill |
|---|---|
 | Kraken's Revenge (level 40): for players who stayed a Pirate for two lives in a row. It marks up to 3 enemies within 5 paces with Black Spots, for 35 stamina; more targets as it levels up. |
 | Scurvy Bomb (level 70): the pure skill for players who are a Pirate for a third life. It costs no stamina and has a 5-second cooldown; enemies within 5 paces take light damage and 10 seconds of fatigue, so their skills cost 6 more stamina. |
Epic weapons
In the current game, Pirates have two Epic weapons, upgraded from the pistol and the rapier, whose look changes with Battle Power. The official preview listed three Epic skills:
- Sea Burial (two Epic weapons): a two-stage attack. After the first hit, a shadow of the Pirate charges the second hit while the Pirate can move and use skills freely.
- Bloom of Death (passive, Epic weapon in both hands): after WindStorm triggers, a phantom appears and strikes nearby enemies.
- Immortal Force (two Epic weapons): makes the Pirate immune to other players' skills for a few seconds.
