For me it will be Captain Kidd, and Fish in the Sea. I keep on checking if I can my crew to sing it by random chance, as if I were changing the radio station. And when it lands on either one, I avoid attacking ships for a good minute. 🙂
The Aquila was originally supposed to be built by the Swedish assassins, but due to heavy Templar interference they asked Achilles to contact the French Brotherhood instead. As a Swede that's a nice detail. In fact, from what I read the Swedish Brotherhood is a very humble and helpfull branch, but I desperately want Ubisoft to explore and develop this branch.
You could literally do one around the time of King Charles or the founder of Sweden or the Kalmar Union. People only look at Sweden's viking history and forget that had a very interesting period in between too. That one story about a guy escaping by skiing down hill from being held prisoner literallly sounds like an AC mission
Not 'diverse' enough for Ubisoft I'm afraid. Won't please the blue haired Crowd in Ubisoft unless they can contort it to suit their sensibilities and the Message
Man I bet it was frustrating to see Valhalla. So close to realizing your wish. They barely even put Norway in it. And all the English settlements of course are Danes because well Danelaw. I cannot think if there are any Swedish people in the game or any references to it. Though I heard the Jomsviking stronghold could’ve just as easily been in Sweden as much as it could’ve been in Norway or Denmark. Either way I wish the focused on the Jomsvikings. They are perfect to put a spin on Assassin Vikings. Just like Pirates were assassins, Maroons were assassins, the Jomsvikings if I’m not mistaken fought for religious freedom in a time where Christianity was taking over the North.
@@OrthodoxLegion907 It can't also morrigan beat the experto crede (adevalé's ship) which is a copy of the jackdaw so basically has the same power output and still lost.
@@maszkalman3676 imo the experto crede is extremely underpowered in the story. When in the convoy mission where you manned james cook's man o' war I shot a full broadside and it only took 1/5 of its health
The Morrigan is probably my favorite ship, there's just something so cool about piloting a sloop of war than a brig. Like its smaller than the Jackdaw, but it makes up for it with its double fire rate and speed. Plus the captain's cabin is probably the best there is.
the jackdaw was part of a fleet thats thought to be the spanish convoy wich crashed near the coast of the U.S.A with so much gold that it kept flowing up on the shore for hundreds of years, but on ship was supposedly missing, wich they decided to make the jackdaw
That was indeed a very nice detail in terms of historical accuracy. The Spanish Treasure Fleet never made it to Spain due to the Hurricane, how it's said that one ship managed to make it out, before the half the fleet was sunk and the other half was smashed against the shore, and the mysterious sole survivor ship that escaped however, its whereabouts after that event were unknown, which gave room for imagination, as there was more than just gold, and trinkets aboard. The haul included: Gold, Silver, Crystallines, Sugar, Rum, Gin, Ale, Beer, Tobacco, Slaves, Prisoners, Gunpowder, Ammunition, Weapons, Firearms, Fuel, Foods, Crops, Medicine, Wood, Metal, Cloth material, Scematics, Clothing items, Artifacts, and so on. The Spanish was the most powerful Empire at that time. I think the only inaccuracies I will point out is that the vessels, Edward, Adé, and the rest of the crew were aboard were supposed to be more numerous, and these ships are supposed to be crawling, and teaming with Sailors, and Merchants, and the haul aboard (especially the gold) was supposed to be sealed and not scattered all over the lower decks, but all in all it looked great. It was a smart choice to dive there for Medicines during Nassau's outbreak of Syphilis. Florida's first main reason for being what it is today is because of that Treasure washing up on shore for centuries. There's no telling what you could find in that wreck today, maybe a few dabloons or a school of sharks, perhaps. Blackbeard: Your Jackdaw handles nice... hitched her from the Spanish? Edward: Aye... in the midst of a Hurricane. Adéwale: We managed to escape before the fleet was smashed against the shore. Blackbeard: Was the haul aboard rich as men are saying? Edward: A THOUSAND TIMES THAT. I reckon, a million pound worth of Reales was sunk that day. Blackbeard: The Devil loves a Hurricane. Might have a dive there one day see what we can rummage up.
@@onilion5679 I thought it was an explanation for why the Spanish never set out to look for their missing ship I didn’t know it was an actual historical event
"Hey, what's that in the fog? It looks like a ship!" "She looks like a ghost ship!" "Aye, risen from the dead to sink us!" My favourite of the Legendary Ships from Black Flag, the HMS Prince. The idea of battling a ghost ship in dense fog was amazing, even though it was technically the easiest Legendary Ship.
Being bombarded with mortar fire from all sides, only catching a terrifying glimpse of the ship in a flash of lightning, is just an experience I wish I could have for the first time again in that game.
Between all these ships I can say these things: -The Jackdaw, the Morrigan, and the Adrestia are the stand out ships with being able to use them in free roam and throughout the story in the main game. The Experto Crede I mainly remember it being a ship you use in Freedom Cry and then fight in AC Rogue and it's flag having a unique C symbol on it. And the Aquila is used in a lot of missions (ex. Story, Peg Leg, Naval, etc.) and even in Tyranny of King Washington but is only exclusive to missions and no free roam. -The Jackdaw and the Adrestia took the longest to upgrade. Upgrading the Jackdaw involved doing the diving bell sections to get the upgrade plans and the Adrestia required getting WAY TOO MANY RESOURCES which Ubisoft pretty much did to encourage microtransactions. -Between the Jackdaw and the Morrigan, I would say the Morrigan had the best weapons overall with the burning oil, the carronades, the ice ram, and the puckle gun being able to shoot more shots whether during ship combat or when boarding. The Morrigan also probably got the biggest accomplishment out of the five ships in this list with taking down the Storm Fortress, alongside 2 other legendary ships. Though I like the look of the deck of the Morrigan the least out of the five ships since the wood looks the same with no texture on it. -The flame thrower on the Adrestia is a nice touch, alongside getting multiple lieutenants on your ship like the protagonist's mother and having a place to store gear. -I wish the chain shots on the Jackdaw actually took down the masts of other ships like the chain shots on the Aquila did. -The Jackdaw and the Adrestia have the best quartermasters and even some of the best characters in their respective games: Adewale and Barnabas. It's a shame you lose Adewale near the end of the story. The Aquila does have a good quartermaster as well but not as memorable, Gist in AC Rogue is memorable but not much of a stand out character to me, and I can't remember the quartermaster in Freedom Cry aside from his design. -I would say the Jackdaw is my overall favorite ship since I feel the most attached to it from using it throughout the story of Edward's journey and especially using it much in free roam with the naval being so fun. The Morrigan is second with its powerful weapons, the Adrestia is third with its Greek design and it being set in Greece, the Aquila is fourth with its involvement in multiple missions and introducing naval gameplay unless you count the Leonardo mission in AC Brotherhood, and the Experto Crede is fifth with being captained by Adewale and making appearances in AC Rogue but basically being the Jackdaw reskinned.
My favorite has to be the adrestia i don't really know why but something about it felt amazing. Like when you leave your ships the npc's do their own things like cleaning the ship or using a hammer to rebuild the ship or going in a little wrestling match. Talking to eachother. And just having Barnabas next to you was amazing and the fact he randomly starts talking about tales from diffrent lands if you get close to that land is always fun. And once you have both Herodotos and Barnabas on the ship it's even more fun. And tbh even tho it doesn't have cannons or bullets it somehow still packs quite some firepower. With it's arrows, spear, burning arrow, burning spears and not to forget the hydra's breath which is the flames it can shoot out which you unlock during the Legacy of the first blade DLC it's a very powerfull ship with a well trained crew. And it has faced many battles aswell taking down alot of cultists on sea. And destroying multiple athenian blockades. And the battle with the tempest on sea. Not to mention that Kassandra kept the ship for a long time. As she and Barnabas sailed it together to Egypt were she got a hidden blade but also in the end of the korfu missions you can see her sailing the ship to England. Which means she still had it during valhalla. Afterwards there is no more info about it but i'd say she must've kept it for a while till she either sold it or left it. I don't think it got destroyed. And the Adrestia has destroyed: The Asterion (cultist ship) The Hydra (sage ship) The Mitilenian Shark (cultist ship) The Sokos (cultist ship) The Melanthos (cultist ship) The Octopus (cultist ship) The Skylla (magi ship) Nestor's ship (ancient one's ship) And a couple more.
Morrigan also has Mortars… the weapon specs of the Morrigan (Sloop-of-War) is 34 Broadside Cannons (17 on each side), 4 Puckle Guns, 4 Carronades, Burning Oil, and 2 Mortars as well as an Ice-Breaker Ram. It also has the ability to fire twice in quick succession before reloading. Which basically means you’re getting hit by 34 cannons per volley. The Jackdaw (Brig) has 46 Broadside Cannons (23 on each side), 4 Chaser Cannons, 2 Swivel Guns, 160 Fire Barrels; deploying 4 at a time, 25 Volleys of Heated Shot, and 20 Mortars rounds as well as a Naval Ram. It also has iron-plating reinforcement which helped tremendously in dealing with Man-O’-Wars.
fun fact: the aquila is actually the ship you get chase by when you play as haytham in assassin's creed 3 in sequence 1 where you travel your way to boston to find the key to unlock "???" or "a fortune" of the cave in sequence 4. (Just wanted to point that out)
Great video I agree with you, the jackdaw and morrigan are the most enjoyable to play and the best of the franchise. 2:30 "Despite his smaller size being compare to the other ship in this video" For me the Aquila is the longest, largest out of the five in the video but it's just a detail.
Honestly I’ve just started Rogue after doing a black flag and freedom cry playthrough. I was kinda disappointed in Freedom cry’s upgrades compared to the jackdaw. The fully upgraded jackdaw is the coolest looking so far. I like how the cabin is 2 stories which means an extra row for cannons. I was kinda sad when I was the Morrigan side by side with Experto Crede to see that the morrigan seemed much smaller. And seeing how well the Experta Crede looked in 4K 60 fps it made me wish I could see the Jackdaw in all her glory. I might change my mind about the Morrigan when I start customizing her. I love that she automatically gets red sails eventually as those are the sails I always use on the Jackdaw.
Even though fighting in ship battles is not very “assassiny” it is still so fun in the games Ps will u ever do a video for the curse of the pharaohs dlc since u did the hidden ones.
I don’t know if you realize this but the Morrigan’s cannon’s are designed to shoot 2 consecutive shots without reloading pretty much doubling the cannon count
I only wish they made the ships more realistic even slightly. Every ship had waaaaay more guns than they should have and had weird rigs. Jackdaw should've been three-masted and ship-rigged, same for the Aquila, Morrigan should've been rigged like a schooner and downsized. Overall, I'd say Jackdaw got the closest to being realistic.
Another great video from the best ac channel on the platform! I think for one of your next videos, you should go over what the hardest main story missions to achieve 100% synchronisation are and rank them based on their difficulty!
Have you ever encounter the storm fortress in A.C rogue?? This legendary ship is a total nightmare. More powerful than the likes of el impoluto or la dama negra in A.C IV: Black Flag.
My personal Ranking: Number 6: Eivor's longship Number 5: The expert to crede Number 4: The morrigan Number 3: The Aquila Number 2: The JackDaw Number 1: The Adrestia
Aquilla as a Super frigate and a much more modern ship would historically beat all of the other ships. There has been cases of smaller ships beating larger ones in the past, but it was a very rare experience. Example is HMS speedy (brig) vs El Gamo (frigate).
Its hard to argue. I like the Morrigan, the Jackdaw, and the Adrestia. I cant chose between them. Its all awesone. Though I definitely liked the puckle gun better. And the Morrigan was easier ti upgrade.
I’ll say it my favorite game has the best ship being the morrigan also unrelated I noticed in ac syndicate that if you listen when a guard finds a dead body they will say rest in peace in Italian like ezio. I thought it was very cool
I’ve been waiting for a video like this for ages I wonder if you could do top 10 enemy ships or ships that you fight also although the jackdaw is my favourite I think the Morigan is the most powerful
Simple. Jackdaw - bigger Morrigan - faster/easy to maneuver Jackdaw - more iconic Morrigan - more fun In Morrigan, You can unleash ram ability earlier in the game. Explosive shot deals more damage and reload way faster than chain shot. Burning oil is overpowered it deals 200-300 fire damage per second.
Surprised the adrestria wasnt in last place... Edit: 3rd place wow normally ac odyssey in any top 5/top 10 ranking of AC youtubers rank at the end of the list. Color me surprised. Personally I like its design not so much the gameplay. Though I will say naval combat gets easy moded if you get the flamethrower from the third legacy of the first blade dlc. Beyond that the highlight of the adrestria was hearing the interactions between kassandra/alexios, herodotos, and barnabas. Those conversations you hear in between missions really helps getting you attached to those characters.
I feel like there needs to be a disclaimer for children who might think these ships are historical. The way it is narrated makes it seem like they actually existed and were involved in real battles.
Personally i preffer morrigan over jackdaw same as rogue over black flag. Simply because jackdaw's barrels are annoying to set up and the enemy cans teer away from them, fire from morrigan that is a different tale as the enemy ships desperately try to halt to avoid the flames
Try to make a Main theme ranking video for every assassin's creed videogame till mirage soo far or at least include from Assassin's creed Codename Red after it comes out
The Morrigan is the best ship. It handles the best is the fastest and is captained by the best captain shae. Edward with all his fan fair was a horrible captain. Adie left cause he didnt care for anyone but himself, he sent his crew into hell. Multiple times he proved hes a horrible leader. However Shae never got told he's a bad captain never lost his first mate do to inconvenience. So in a fire fight the Jackdaw loses to the Morrigan. And the puckle guns are broken on the Morrigan and the fire oil is better cause it leaves a strip of fire rather then a barrel. Maybe me whos played thousands of hours on Black Flag and Rouge is wrong but i don't think so. Its a bit smaller but the Jackdaw is at the bottom of the ocean while the Morrigan never left Shaes hands till his death. Its clearly the best ship.
1. Honestly playing both black flag and Rouge side by side I can say they have the same handling and speed 2. Adewale left because he wanted to become a assassin and not stay a pirate 3. Edward kenway never left his crew. The times were he did was when he was basically abandoned by them 4. The puckle cannons being broken is balancing issue 5. The history of the Morrigan is unknown, who knows maybe it to was destroyed after Rouge we don't know you can't compare the endurance of a ship built in the early 1700s to a ship built in in mid 1700s
i always wanted to keep my queen ans revenge ship frome blackbeard. A bit biger then the jackdaw and smaller then those huge man of war ships. sry for my language not a native speaker and a bit drunk while typing this comment.
@@silencio9425 wtf you on about? i love odyssey i love all ac games except for valhallah and syndicate. my only point is that a ship with cannons would objectively annihilate a trireme and the adrestia as a trireme.
@BrutallHawk what I mean is they are on different time and technology so considering more or less 1.8k years of technological gap its by no means can fight with the other ship on this list but if you see it by their own time and adrestia gaining a Greek fire in one of the quest I think it's pretty powerfull not considering jackdaw is only a frigate and morrigan only a sloop of war considering that the biggest ship on their era is first rate ship of the line, so I think the most dangerous here in their own respective era is adrestia
Is assassins creed pirates on mobile canon? if it is i believe the emperor of the seas is the best ship in the entire franchise just look at the ram and size of that thing
What about eviors longship it isn’t the most well equipped but it’s quick and you can shoot arrows from it also the ship doesn’t have a name so it’s kinda make scenes that it’s not in the list
Sailing the Jackdaw listening to Leave Her Johnny and then attacking another ship and Kenway shouting Bring'em down to hell, lads!!
So amazing...
I especially love it when one of your men say “they have too much fire power” and you hit them with like two heavy rounds and they’re dead😂
I will always listen to Drunken Sailor
@@TheBandit025Nova same.
For me it will be Captain Kidd, and Fish in the Sea. I keep on checking if I can my crew to sing it by random chance, as if I were changing the radio station. And when it lands on either one, I avoid attacking ships for a good minute. 🙂

Yes, for sure. We need Sweden in Assassin's Creed.
You could literally do one around the time of King Charles or the founder of Sweden or the Kalmar Union. People only look at Sweden's viking history and forget that had a very interesting period in between too.

Not 'diverse' enough for Ubisoft I'm afraid. Won't please the blue haired Crowd in Ubisoft unless they can contort it to suit their sensibilities and the Message
Man I bet it was frustrating to see Valhalla. So close to realizing your wish. They barely even put Norway in it. And all the English settlements of course are Danes because well Danelaw.

i think i prefer the morrigan only because its incredibly easy to max it out vs the jackdaw, but “maxed out” i agree with ur ranking
You can max it out, but compared to Jackdaw maxed out, it falls short

It also has iron-plating reinforcement which helped tremendously in dealing with Man-O’-Wars.
I would like a ranking for the AC main themes. Love your videos
The Morrigan is my favorite but definitely can't deny that the jackdaw is very much an iconic vessel.
fun fact: the aquila is actually the ship you get chase by when you play as haytham in assassin's creed 3 in sequence 1 where you travel your way to boston to find the key to unlock "???" or "a fortune" of the cave in sequence 4. (Just wanted to point that out)
Indeed. One of my 'top 10 details' videos talks about that part
How makes that sense the ship that follows haytham flips to the side and sinks
I prefer the Morrigan because it’s basically the Jackdaw with a bunch of quality of life improvements and better maneuverability
Great video
I agree with you, the jackdaw and morrigan are the most enjoyable to play and the best of the franchise.
2:30
"Despite his smaller size being compare to the other ship in this video"
For me the Aquila is the longest, largest out of the five in the video but it's just a detail.
Honestly I’ve just started Rogue after doing a black flag and freedom cry playthrough. I was kinda disappointed in Freedom cry’s upgrades compared to the jackdaw.

Jackdaw will always have special love in my heart. The ship of Master Kenway and it really feels like a character of its own.
Even though fighting in ship battles is not very “assassiny” it is still so fun in the games
Ps will u ever do a video for the curse of the pharaohs dlc since u did the hidden ones.
For sure!
I don’t know if you realize this but the Morrigan’s cannon’s are designed to shoot 2 consecutive shots without reloading pretty much doubling the cannon count
Favorite weapons in every assassin creed game
What about the gondola from AC II and Brotherhood, that boat is the MVP of all the ships in AC?
I like to game and I love tot Sail, so it's The Morrigan for me
Another thing to note is that the Jackdaw can fire two volleys of heavyshot.
the jackdaw is the best pirate ship ever made
Great vid, I am a fan of the jackdaw best
I remember when I was younger I was sad because jackdaw or morrigan Their size was not big
I only wish they made the ships more realistic even slightly. Every ship had waaaaay more guns than they should have and had weird rigs. Jackdaw should've been three-masted and ship-rigged, same for the Aquila, Morrigan should've been rigged like a schooner and downsized. Overall, I'd say Jackdaw got the closest to being realistic.
Hmm, I think you’ve helped me realize why I’ve always thought the Jackdaw looks weird with only 2 masts… thank you
My opinion is that the Morrigan should go 1st and the jackdaw 2nd
I would say the Jackdaw, but with Odyssey being such a lengthy game, I spent more time on the Adrestia and grew much more attached to it.
You forgot Evor's Viking long boat in Valhalla
That was more of a glorified canoe
No weapons, small size, and thanks to mounts being able to swim, was basically useless.
I clicked the video before the thumbnail loaded, these were not the kind of ships I was thinking of lmao
Headcanon is the Aquila is still roaming the seas for assassins
Top 3 ships that can literally bring down a Man o War,
Aquila
Morrigan
Jackdaw
Adrestia if kassandra do it alone
Adrestia if kassandra swam to it
I love the morigan because its small and super strong, when the wind is right you can stay behind the enmies back and win
So the mystery of this list is about what is 2nd-through-5th.
Of course what else other the Jackdaw would be 1st?
great video, maybe you can rate the best easter eggs or list them like ragnars snake pit in Valhalla or something similar
AC black flag was my first ac game and Jackdaw is my most favorite and iconic ship
Another great video from the best ac channel on the platform! I think for one of your next videos, you should go over what the hardest main story missions to achieve 100% synchronisation are and rank them based on their difficulty!
"The Jackdaw faced some pretty strong ships"
El Impoluto, HMS Fearless & Royal Sovereign, HMS Prince and La Dama Negra be like: only pretty strong?
Have you ever encounter the storm fortress in A.C rogue?? This legendary ship is a total nightmare. More powerful than the likes of el impoluto or la dama negra in A.C IV: Black Flag.
My personal Ranking:
Number 6: Eivor's longship
Number 5: The expert to crede
Number 4: The morrigan
Number 3: The Aquila
Number 2: The JackDaw
Number 1: The Adrestia
Yes so the only 5 ships in the series
indeed
but they are also lot of boats
Aquilla as a Super frigate and a much more modern ship would historically beat all of the other ships. There has been cases of smaller ships beating larger ones in the past, but it was a very rare experience. Example is HMS speedy (brig) vs El Gamo (frigate).
We all know it was going to come down to ether the Morgan or the Jackdaw.
Its hard to argue. I like the Morrigan, the Jackdaw, and the Adrestia. I cant chose between them. Its all awesone. Though I definitely liked the puckle gun better. And the Morrigan was easier ti upgrade.
i used to think the aquila is the biggest ship we ever got
Well The Jackdaw has something that the other ships don't have
Its that Ram perk you get after you finish fighting the Legendary Ships
Shay is on something
and whatever it is, I need it for my exams.
i want to see jackdaw vs morrigan edit
Jackdaw. End of story.
I’ll say it my favorite game has the best ship being the morrigan also unrelated I noticed in ac syndicate that if you listen when a guard finds a dead body they will say rest in peace in Italian like ezio. I thought it was very cool

JACKDAW IS THE BEST🗿🗿🗿🐐🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
Morrigan Ram look intimidating than other ships
I’ve been waiting for a video like this for ages I wonder if you could do top 10 enemy ships or ships that you fight also although the jackdaw is my favourite I think the Morigan is the most powerful
The jackdaw is just too iconic.
Jackdaw for the win
I swear if it’s not number 1
Someone isn’t gonna make it to the next video 😒
I always considered the Morrigan as the Sword of the North cause it's ram.
The Aquila is literally man o war fully upgraded
Simple.
Jackdaw - bigger
Morrigan - faster/easy to maneuver
Jackdaw - more iconic
Morrigan - more fun
In Morrigan, You can unleash ram ability earlier in the game.
Explosive shot deals more damage and reload way faster than chain shot.
Burning oil is overpowered it deals 200-300 fire damage per second.
The fake ending for jackdaw was perfect 😂
Surprised the adrestria wasnt in last place...
Edit: 3rd place wow normally ac odyssey in any top 5/top 10 ranking of AC youtubers rank at the end of the list. Color me surprised. Personally I like its design not so much the gameplay. Though I will say naval combat gets easy moded if you get the flamethrower from the third legacy of the first blade dlc. Beyond that the highlight of the adrestria was hearing the interactions between kassandra/alexios, herodotos, and barnabas. Those conversations you hear in between missions really helps getting you attached to those characters.
Can You make a Video where You Rank every Assassin's Creed dlc from worst to best because I think that would be a very cool Video
Hey, could you do a video ranking every AC intro ?
What do you mean by intro
@@TheHiddenOne690 opening cutscene and title intro
The aquila is a more Historically, accurate ship Compared to the otherones
People don't love aquila cuse they didn't like connor but aquila is the fastest biggest and strongest ship in the whole AC series with a huuuuuge gap
You said the Aquila is smaller than the rest of the ships on the list, but isn't it the largest since its basically a frigate/brig hybrid?
"the the" classic. 💀
You should make a video about the most useless missions from each assassins creed
That's quite hard tbh. Can't really think of any useless missions off the top of my head
@@TheHiddenOne690 true
U forgot the boat in Valhalla
I feel like there needs to be a disclaimer for children who might think these ships are historical. The way it is narrated makes it seem like they actually existed and were involved in real battles.
Personally i preffer morrigan over jackdaw same as rogue over black flag.
Simply because jackdaw's barrels are annoying to set up and the enemy cans teer away from them, fire from morrigan that is a different tale as the enemy ships desperately try to halt to avoid the flames
I kind of wish you could use your ship more in AC3, I don’t recall it being useable outside of missions
AC IV is GOATED. The best ever Assassins Creed game
Try to make a Main theme ranking video for every assassin's creed videogame till mirage soo far or at least include from Assassin's creed Codename Red after it comes out
Morrigan
Acquila
Jackdaw/experto crede
The Morrigan is the best ship. It handles the best is the fastest and is captained by the best captain shae. Edward with all his fan fair was a horrible captain. Adie left cause he didnt care for anyone but himself, he sent his crew into hell. Multiple times he proved hes a horrible leader. However Shae never got told he's a bad captain never lost his first mate do to inconvenience. So in a fire fight the Jackdaw loses to the Morrigan. And the puckle guns are broken on the Morrigan and the fire oil is better cause it leaves a strip of fire rather then a barrel. Maybe me whos played thousands of hours on Black Flag and Rouge is wrong but i don't think so. Its a bit smaller but the Jackdaw is at the bottom of the ocean while the Morrigan never left Shaes hands till his death. Its clearly the best ship.
shay did lose the morigan once when he betrayed the assassins but overall i also say that
1. Honestly playing both black flag and Rouge side by side I can say they have the same handling and speed
2. Adewale left because he wanted to become a assassin and not stay a pirate
3. Edward kenway never left his crew. The times were he did was when he was basically abandoned by them
4. The puckle cannons being broken is balancing issue
5. The history of the Morrigan is unknown, who knows maybe it to was destroyed after Rouge we don't know you can't compare the endurance of a ship built in the early 1700s to a ship built in in mid 1700s
Ngl, retrial, Morrigan should be 1
Bro Aquila was a frigate with battale ram bigger then jackdaw or morrigan . In what category you found it smaller in size.
ThE AqEEla My bOy!!!
mucho agreeable list
1 minute gang still saying i belive in you you are finne be Big man like sometime soon
The Morrigan had puckleguns and it's fire is better than barrels. How is the jack daw better?
I dunno it's really hard to rank the ships...I really like the combat in Odyssey...I can't really choose between the Morigan, Jackdaw or Adrestia
i always wanted to keep my queen ans revenge ship frome blackbeard. A bit biger then the jackdaw and smaller then those huge man of war ships.
sry for my language not a native speaker and a bit drunk while typing this comment.
Morrigan and Aredestia the best. I don't like the Jackdaw looking at all, mayabe full upgraded with those gold cannons and ship armor, mayabe a bit :)
I haven’t watched the video yet but if the jackdaw isn’t number 1 I will personally sue you
I never knew ac3 had naval combat
Who would win?
A ship that has been marked as the strongest ship in the west indies that no enemy has lived to tell the tail
One piratye boi
The real title of this video should be “ The Jackdaw and 4 inferior ships”
Really Conners ship is small for my eyes it look like more long or about the same Sid’s as the jackdaw
what is your definition of best? because the adrestia would be utterly annihilated by all the others on this list.
Hmm let's see your the one of the "OG" who cry about anything on TH-cam if you see newer ac game is not on the bottom
@@silencio9425 wtf you on about? i love odyssey i love all ac games except for valhallah and syndicate. my only point is that a ship with cannons would objectively annihilate a trireme and the adrestia as a trireme.
@BrutallHawk what I mean is they are on different time and technology so considering more or less 1.8k years of technological gap its by no means can fight with the other ship on this list but if you see it by their own time and adrestia gaining a Greek fire in one of the quest I think it's pretty powerfull not considering jackdaw is only a frigate and morrigan only a sloop of war considering that the biggest ship on their era is first rate ship of the line, so I think the most dangerous here in their own respective era is adrestia
@@silencio9425 this is exactly why i asked what his definition of "best" means in this video.
The storm fortress is the best ship!!
I don’t know where you got the informations for the Jackdaw but it’s definitely not 60m long
according to the wiki, it actually is
What oufit is he using with the flame
Me waiting and looking for a comment says that ship beeter than jackdaw
i honestly prefer ship from freedm cry than AC3 one
Is assassins creed pirates on mobile canon? if it is i believe the emperor of the seas is the best ship in the entire franchise just look at the ram and size of that thing
You forgot the little row boats in ac2
Absolutely top tier
Those got me out of so many sticky situations
What about eviors longship it isn’t the most well equipped but it’s quick and you can shoot arrows from it also the ship doesn’t have a name so it’s kinda make scenes that it’s not in the list
