Crew

The six roles, what each hand contributes per tier, and the full hire catalog with unlock milestones.

Crew — Pirate Twist

The six roles

What each role contributes per tier. Every hand below belongs to one of these, and a hand's rarity only changes how much of its role's passive it delivers. Uncommon crew work at 1.3x of their role passive, Rare at 1.6x. Lock them in by reaching the milestone. Unlocks are account-wide and permanent.
