Ready? Let’s go island by island. 🏝️

🏝️ Island 1 – First Steps & Core Setup

1. Follow the main quests

For your first island, don’t overthink it. The questline will unlock most core systems in a good order: heroes, gear, dungeons, etc.

2. Spend most of your Gold on ATK ⚔️

• Invest the majority of your Gold into ATK.
• More ATK = faster clears = more Gold and more resources.
• Early game, ATK is king. HP and other stats can wait.

3. Turn on Auto ▶️

• Enable Auto so your heroes use ultimates automatically.
• This lets you focus on upgrades, summons and strategy instead of tapping non-stop.

4. Use press-and-hold to level faster

• When upgrading stats or heroes, tap and hold on the button to level quickly.
• This saves your fingers and speeds up your early progression.

🛡️ Summon Gear

1. Summon Gear once.
2. Tap “Enhance All” to power up everything you own.
3. Tap “Auto Equip” to let the game choose your best setup.

This gives you an instant power spike with minimal effort.

👥 Summon Heroes

1. Summon Heroes.
2. Equip your strongest heroes (higher rarity and level).
3. Tap Enhance to boost their stats.
4. Level up Seabeard – your first key hero.

After that, go back to following the main quests. You’re close to the 1–10 Boss and should beat it smoothly if you follow these tips.

🏝️ Island 2 – Simple but Important

• Continue to follow the questline as your main progression path.
• Any extra Gold you get → dump it into ATK again.

🏆 Your First Tournament

Soon you’ll see your first tournament and start getting Trophies 🏆 just by playing.

For now:

• Keep pushing quests and islands.
• Active play = more Trophies and better rewards over time.

We’ll care more about tournament performance once your power is higher.

🐙 2–10 Boss – First Real Checkpoint

Before facing the 2–10 Boss, make sure you:

1. Level up Seabeard

• Seabeard is a solid unit because of his unique gold bonus.
• Investing in him early is safe and efficient.

2. Level up your ship to level 15

• Ship levels give strong global stat boosts.
• Try to reach at least ship level 15 before pushing too hard.

3. Enable Pacts

• Turn on Pacts to speed up your progression.
• Think of them as passive boosts that, together, make a big difference.

If you still struggle, loop a bit: farm, level Seabeard, upgrade your ship and try again.

🏝️ Island 3 – Difficulty Spike & Daily Dungeons

• The game gets noticeably harder here – that’s normal.
• Keep following the quests and spending your Gold, mainly on ATK.

⛏️ Daily Dungeons – Fast Power Gains

Daily Dungeons are crucial if you want to get strong quickly.

• Always use all your Dungeon keys before the daily reset.
• Reset time ⏰: 00:00 UTC.

Progression rules:

• Fight to unlock higher Dungeon levels.
• If you lose, there is no penalty – you simply don’t clear that level.

• Sweep auto-completes the previous level you already cleared.

Make Daily Dungeons part of your everyday routine if you want to keep up with other players.

🤝 Help Missions – Priority for Ship Progress

Help Missions are:

• Randomly generated.
• You get around 3–6 per day.

They are extremely important because they are the only reliable source of Ore Stars, which are used to level up your ships.

What you should do:

• Clear Help Missions as soon as they appear.
• Treat them as high-priority daily content, not optional side quests.

🐉 3–10 Boss – Time to Tighten Up Your Build

The 3–10 Boss hits hard. If you’re stuck here, you probably need better stats and a cleaner setup.

👑 Heroes: who to level

By Island 3, you should:

• Have 2 or more Rare heroes.
• Make sure Seabeard is in your crew (this is non-negotiable).

For your second unit, strong options include:

• Monki Bricolo
• Squiggly
• Toothpick
• Beasty

Important tip: At this stage, only level up 2 heroes. If you spread your resources across too many units, you’ll progress much slower.

🚢 Ship Setup for 3–10

Go to your Ship screen and:

1. CREW:

• Equip your 2 strongest heroes.

1. EQUIPMENT:

• Tap “Enhance All”.
• Tap “Auto Equip”.

1. Blue (Rare) Gear:

• If you have Blue gear, you can safely spend all your Iron leveling it.
• Early on, investing in good rare gear is almost always worth it.

Once your heroes and gear are cleaned up, try the 3–10 Boss again.

🏝️ Island 4 – Pushing Toward Island 5

• Keep following the questline to collect free Gems 💎.
• If you followed this guide, Island 5 should be very close.

Before leaving Island 4, remember:

• Unlock the new ship when it becomes available.
• Equip a third crew member as soon as the game allows it.

📚 Knowledge – Where to Invest Early

During early game:

• Put almost all of your Knowledge points into ATK.
• More ATK = faster clears = more Gold and more resources.

You can diversify later (HP, crit, etc.). For now, early game is all about pushing stages quickly.

🎫 Pirate Pass & Time-Limited Rewards

Pirate Pass

• Free track: rewards just for playing actively.
• Gold Pass (low spender) 💳:

• Great return on investment if you log in daily.

• Diamond Pass (bigger spender):

• Better value if you play a lot and want every possible boost.

⚔️ Guild Brawl

• You unlock Guilds at Quest 112.
• Try to get there as soon as possible.
• Being in a guild gives extra rewards, social benefits and long-term advantages.

🧭 Cabin Boy Contest (Your First “Real” Tournament)

• This is your first serious tournament.
• It gives massive rewards if you’re active and earning Trophies 🏆.
• Make sure you:

• Participate frequently.
• Claim all your rewards from the event screen.

📅 7 Days Login Card

• Pay special attention to Days 5 and 7.
• Those days usually give high-impact rewards (heroes, gear or premium resources) that can significantly boost your account.

⛏️ Daily Dungeons – Days 1–3

During your first days:

• Visit Daily Dungeons and push as far as possible.
• Days 1–3: all Dungeons should be very easy if you’re following this guide.
• Use this window to unlock higher stages, so your Sweeps later give much better rewards.

🔧 Investing Your New Resources (Ship & Heroes)

Once you start stacking Dungeon and event rewards:

1. Level up 3 heroes

• By now, you can feel comfortable running 3 main units.

1. Third crew member suggestion:

• Strong picks: Beasty or Toothpick.
• You can safely level them up to level 60 without regrets.

1. Gold usage 💰

• Spend your Gold.
• Hoarding Gold early game slows you down. Turn it into power and progression.

🐡 5–10 Boss – Progress Snapshot

To give you a reference, here’s a real early-game snapshot that followed this path:

• Power: 474k
• Quest: 80
• 5–10 Boss: defeated with 18 seconds left on the timer.

If your stats are in that ballpark, you’re on the right track.

🏝️ Island 6 – Fourth Crew Member & Village

On Island 6:

• You unlock your 4th crew member.
• Don’t underestimate Toothpick – he is a very strong early-game hero and a great pick for this slot.

🏘️ Village

Go to your Village and:

• Assign your strongest units to each building.
• This boosts your passive income and progression over time.

Also:

• Spend all your summon tokens.

• Early on, most summons are direct upgrades or fusion material.
• Let your roster grow; you’ll refine it later.

🐲 7–10 Boss – Power-Up Checklist

Before facing the 7–10 Boss, go through this checklist:

1. Enhance all your heroes.
2. Enhance all your equipment.
3. Level up your main heroes a bit more.
4. Spend all your Treasure Shovels and Treasure TNT for extra stats and loot.

Example outcome after doing this:

• Power: 502k → 599k
• Quest: 99

That power jump is usually enough to defeat this boss comfortably.

💰 Maximizing Your Gold – Gold Farming Setup

Gold is the fuel of your entire account. Having a dedicated Gold farming setup is one of the best “tips and tricks” you can apply in Bounty Bash.

🟡 Recommended Gold Build / Setup

1. Equip your second ship: Crimson Gold

• This ship is designed specifically for Gold farming.

1. Crew setup:

• Equip Seabeard and every hero that has Gold% bonuses.
• The goal is to stack as many Gold% effects as possible.

1. Activate Gold Pacts

• Turn on all Pacts that increase Gold gain.
• Important: while you are offline, the Pact timer does not decrease, so you can safely stay in Gold mode for long offline periods.

1. Gear selection:

• Equip all gear pieces that give Gold% effects on your crew.
• Prioritize Gold% over pure combat stats while you’re in “Gold mode”.

🕒 When to Use Your Gold Setup

Switch to your Gold setup:

• Before logging out, to maximize your offline Gold earnings.
• Before sweeping the Golden Crab Dungeon, to squeeze as much Gold as possible.
• Before using golden tickets or any reward that grants a lot of Gold.

Then, switch back to your combat setup (damage/HP/crit gear and your strongest heroes) when pushing difficult content or bosses.

✅ Final Notes

• Don’t stress if you fall behind others for a bit; Bounty Bash is a marathon, not a sprint.
• Focus on clean fundamentals: quests, ATK, Dungeons, Help Missions, correct hero choices and a good Gold setup.
• Use this guide as a skeleton and adapt it to the heroes and gear you pull.
