The game’s tips for this ship
Lightning & Vampire Support
Every twelfth shot the Thunderhead calls down Lightning — as much as a normal shot, but TRUE damage: Armour and Bulkheads can't stop it (the ⚡ count above her shows how long ye have), though a Blinded ship can miss. Only Lightning Rods, in the Ship's Manifest under Defence, take a slice off it when it lands. Vampire Support gives every ball from yer gun crew and mateys a chance to drain a little hull back — though not while a Dead Calm has them silenced.
