This Idleon Siege Breaker guide optimises damage and maximises World 5 sailing loot from this pirate themed archer class. Including detailed information of the priority talents for combat and skilling it also includes recommendations for Plunderous Mobs farming to obtain the account wide experience and drop rate boost. This Siege Breaker build guide should be combined with our Bowman and Archer build pages.
Table of Contents:
– Damage Build
– Sailing Build
Damage Build
This damage build has two roles which will share the same preset. The first is standard AFK combat where the Siege Breaker is one of the strongest characters for AFK kills due to their movement speed damage scaling that makes them ideal for farming Death Note kills or pushing portals.
The second use case is hunting Plunderous Mobs actively which give a permanent boost to experience and drop rate based on the power of 10 number you have killed (Archlord of the Pirates). Spawned from the Pirate Flag talent and boosted by the Plunder Ye Deceased talent these giant mobs appear with a skull above their head and have higher health than regular monsters. Like the Divine Knight the Siege Breaker prefers flat maps (such as OJ Bay in World 5) when active given your attack talents favour long sight lines to be effective with the recommended attack bar below:
The recommended talent priority order is below which can be adjusted between active and AFK talent focus until youhave enough talent points available to max everything:
| Talent | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
 Pirate Flag |
Kills can spawn Plunderous Mobs with xHP and +% EXP and drop rewards | Enables the spawning of Plunderous mobs for active play With each talent point mobs will be a greater threat by boosting their HP although this also comes with higher experience and drop rewards. Plunderous Mobs have a 2% base spawn chance and a pity mechanic that spawns one automatically after 40 normal monster kills. Further enhancements to Plunderous Mob spawn rates are available from the Voidwalker Enhancement Eclipse which doubles their spawn rate and automatically spawns one if your Pirate Flag score is above 100 for 25 coin count.
I recommend only one point initially as this is sufficient to unlock the active playstyle with extra points only required if you are specifically focused on experience, monster drops or have spare talent points. |
 Plunder Ye Deceased |
Kill Plunderous Mobs to enable coin drops which respawn mobs and auto loot | A talent that works alongside Pirate Flag above for active combat that means any Plunderous Mob killed will drop skull coins on the ground that are automatically looted and respawns regular monsters. As these regular monsters provide extra experience, loot and opportunities to spawn Plunderous Mobs this should always be maxed as extra talent points adds longer duration. |
 Supressing Fire |
Fire a spread of mini cannonballs dealing damage | One of the best active attacking talents given the low cooldown and multiple cannonballs that is ideal for flat maps. Extra talent points here increase the damage and number of cannonballs.
I recommend 1 talent point in each of the attacking talents (Supressing Fire, Fire Bomb and Cannonball) to allow for their cooldowns to overlap and then invest remaining points here as a priority over the other attack talents. |
 Fire Bomb |
Throw bombs around which explode and hit multiple enemies | A high damage long cooldown attack that hits multiple monsters and flies through the air to attack monsters far away from the Siege Breaker. I recommend one talent point only until you have maxed every other talent noted here as the damage should already be high enough to kill monsters and talent levels only slowly increase the number of monsters hit (from 5 at level 1 to 7 at level 100). |
 Cannonball |
Fire a large cannonball forward dealing damage and exploding | The other short cooldown talent of the Siege Breaker that explodes in an area. Like Fire Bomb one talent point is enough initially due to the high damage that makes further talent points generally unnecessary as they only boost damage. |
 Symbols Of Beyond ~G |
+ Level for all talents higher than level 1 (bonus increases every 20 levels) | Similar to the other Idleon elite classes the symbols talent is highly efficient for a single talent point as it will add a talent point to every other talent you have talent points invested and continue to grow in power every 20 levels. This allows players to get a few extra max talent levels out of useful attack talents like Plunder Ye Deceased that make it an important active and AFK talent priority. |
 Archlord of the Pirates |
+% EXP and drop rate per power of 10 kills of Plunderous Mobs. Applies to all characters | The main reason players will want to be farming Plunderous Mobs this is a notable boost across your account to gain levels and rare items.
10,000 (10k) Plunderous kills is a reasonable initial goal which provides players with a 4x bonus although depending on your ability to active play and other goals you may want to stop at a lower point like 1,000 (1k) which still provides 3x bonus for a significantly lower time investment. Your late game target should be 100k and in time 1 million as drop rate is always useful to your progress and this multiplicative boost is a significant source. |
 Adaptation Revelation |
+% AGI and + max talent level for Quickness Boots | Providing an additional source of Agility you can boost your damage with this talent and also use the likely abundance of tab 1 talent points you have at this stage of progression. |
 Stacked Skulls |
+% Kill per kill per 1,000 AGI | With the Siege Breaker being a popular AFK farmer for their high damage and the Archer’s Smeltin’ Erryday talent this will slightly improve the kills that are recorded for portals and the World 3 Death Note. |
 Crew Rowing Strength |
+ Weapon power for every 10 sailing levels | While weapon power is strong initially the effectiveness drops in the later stages of Idleon progression which makes this the lowest priority in a combat build. It also relies on reaching significant sailing levels first. |
Sailing Build
The Siege Breaker sailing build improves sailing loot and boosts experience gained to help progress through the islands of this World 5 town skill. This should be combined with your Bowman catching preset and can be swapped to before interacting with the sailing map in town to claim your sailing gains.
These talents are listed based on general priority although if you have limited talent points this may change slightly based on your current account goals that are detailed below:
| Talent | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
 Unending Loot Search |
When sailing loot pile is almost full ships can upgrade previous chests instead. Also +% chest loot | A talent that could be an entire Idleon guide in itself as there are many factors to consider in your decision to invest into this talent and may even change several times as these factors vary for your account. This talent dramatically alters how the World 5 sailing mechanic works and accordingly it’s a talent you will either invest 0 talent points or max.
Points in this talent turn sailing into a skill similar to World 4 breeding where if your loot pile on the dock is nearly full (1 below your max chests) the chests already in your pile can upgrade to higher tier forms (wood, iron, gilded, noble, occult and miracle chests). While this might sound like a benefit it means that your boats will no longer queue on the dock after your loot pile is full which impacts how many chests you can store before claiming. Given the multiplier bonus for higher tiers of chests is a small multiplier it is possible to have less overall loot when using this talent as a larger number of wood chests may provide better loot and importantly higher artifact relic chance than a smaller number of higher tier chests. The main factors in this complex decision will be how often you check sailing, your max loot pile chest number, how many total boats you have and your current sailing goals (artifact or treasure). As a general rule the earlier players are in sailing progress, longer between claiming AFK gains from sailing, the lower number of boats players have and a preference for treasure will make this talent a worthwhile investment. This is because you’ll have less overall time where your boats are stuck at the dock which means no experience, no potential chest upgrades and for a low number of boats is not many chests waiting at the docks anyway. Later in your sailing progress where you have additional boats unlocked and access to several methods to trigger sailing progress multiple times (alchemy and golden food) you will to skip this talent entirely instead. If you’re unsure what works best for your account I recommend skipping this talent entirely. |
 Expertly Sailed |
+% Sailing Experience gain | Boosting sailing experience is important as higher levels unlock extra daily captain inventory and stronger captains with higher maximum stat potential.
Sailing levels also empowers the Siege Breaker’s Crew Rowing Strength talent and boosts your chances of finding artifacts through the Fauxory Tusk artifact available from the first island (Safari Island). |
 Captain Peptalk |
+% Experience for sailing captains | Captain experience is separate to your sailing level and improves the proficiency of the captain stat effect (boat speed, loot value, cloud discover rate, artifact find chance and rare chest chance) which means improved sailing progression. |
| Symbols Of Beyond ~G |
+ Level for all talents higher than level 1 (bonus increases every 20 levels) | Like your damage focused Siege Breaker build above one talent point here is highly effective and maxing this has a small boost to all your other core skilling talents. |
 The Family Guy |
+% Larger family bonuses than what is displayed | With the Siege Breaker family bonus being minimum sailing time this can allow your ships to return from islands slightly faster for improved progression speed. Siege Breaker levels are the best method to increase this bonus though and this is a relatively small boost overall. |
 Skill Ambidexterity |
AGI has a +% larger impact on Skill Efficiency. Also + AGI | While Agility doesn’t improve our sailing gains it still has a notable impact on your catching gains. |
| Adaptation Revelation |
+% AGI and + max talent level for Quickness Boots | Extra agility from this talent provide another small boost to catching skill gains. |
| Archlord of the Pirates |
+% EXP and drop rate per power of 10 kills of Plunderous Mobs. Applies to all characters | If you’re going to be on your sailing/catching build preset for an extended period of time and have your Plunderous mob kills obtained then consider investing talent points here to maintain the experience and drop rate boost for other characters on your Idleon account. |
feedback :)
thanks for all the helpful guides. imo an easier way to navigate between related guides would make this website even better. maybe a sidebar or something. at the moment it’s a bit of a hassle finding related guides. also imo the formatting could use a bit of improvement to make it more readable and easier to sift through. just my opinion. thanks again for the helpful info :)

Excellent post. I did not find any good explanation of the skills in other guides nor post in reddit.

I had been wondering what that chest like skill was, but I found out on the wiki that it is a skill called Telekinetic Storage, but it seems pretty useless if one has the Ram, right?

Hi Steven
That’s correct we have a special talents guide that details this as well: https://gameslikefinder.com/article/idleon-special-talents-guide/ there is still a small benefit of maxing Telekinetic Storage as it increases carry capacity of all items by a small amount but not required to be on your attack bar for that.
I will replace the screenshot so others don’t wonder what this is! I have it on my attack bar as I played long before Ram existed in the game so just a habit to have it there.
Thanks
