## Usage Patterns

This legendary seafaring specialist is ideal for exploration and long-distance trade ships. The massive +150% discovery radius bonus makes it excellent for scouting new islands and revealing fog of war. The -70% bad wind influence and +40% travel speed between provinces significantly improve inter-province logistics. Place on ships that frequently travel between provinces or are assigned to exploration duties.

## Common Pitfalls

- Wasting this specialist on stationary or short-range ships that don't benefit from the exploration and travel bonuses
- Not prioritizing the boost unlock (discovering 16 islands) to maximize the specialist's potential
- Using on combat ships where other combat-focused specialists would provide more value
