Strategies

 * The player can deploy a "kamikaze" pirate to kill multiple enemies at once, but it comes at the risk of weakening his or her own brigade.
 * Use the weapons with the highest quantities, then deploy the other weapons in emergencies.
 * The boulder is best used on a line of enemies.
 * If using a cannon, hide behind a wall so that the enemy can't counter-attack easily.
 * If on the offensive; position your troops so that the enemy won't be able to escape without being attacked.
 * If on the defensive; put the weaker troops in the back and the stronger troops at the front.
 * It is not advised to put the troops all in one place because the enemy can kill them all with one good attack.
 * Use a voodoo doll when on an area with a hole or surrounded with water nearby.

Weapons

 * Cherry bombs - Weak weapon which is thrown and explodes on impact. Does low damage compared to most weapons. On the other hand it is also more common.
 * Boulders - To use a Boulder, pull back to aim and fire. This is used to push other players, and the longer distance the players are pushed, the more damage is caused.
 * Dynamite - Dynamite is thrown, and it bounces off walls and crates, but explodes when rested, and can affect a large radius with considerable damage.
 * Pieces of eight - The player throws eight coins which each of them inflict a small amount of damage each upon contact.
 * Rum bottles - This weapon explodes on impact and sets the nearby area on fire, able to cause additional damage.
 * Bananas - This weapon is thrown, and it bounces a lot. To make it explode, it must be clicked. When it explodes, it does a significant amount of damage.
 * Parachute bombs - This bomb can be thrown way high up in the air, and has a parachute which will open up in midair and drifts slowly down. Then a fan is used to blow the bomb to its destination.
 * Crates - Three crates which can be used to form a wall to protect or trap pirates. They are barriers to prevent weapons from directly hitting the pirates.
 * Gunpowder barrels - Two gunpowder barrels which explode on impact with a weapon's explosion, causing additional damage with the weapon.
 * Seagulls - A path is chosen by the player for the seagull to fly, then repeated clicking causes the seagull to drop explosive poop. Good for causing damage to multiple enemies. But important to make sure that the enemies are exposed and nothing above the enemy is obstructing it.
 * Mines - When a Mine is set it will do nothing until a Pirate gets close to it, or the flight path of a weapon or pirate touches the mine. Could explode to do large amounts of damage of a considerable radius. But the weapon would be a waste if the enemy quickly moves away from it upon launching.
 * Cannons - The player must drag a cannon into a position within a certain radius. The player must then pull back at the pin to aim and fire. Good for making an accurate, direct hit from long range.
 * Anchors - Clicking anywhere on the stage will drop a huge anchor down on enemies. Efficient when there are multiple enemies on the same location, and the must not be anything above the enemies obstructing the anchor drop.
 * Voodoo dolls - Choose an enemy as a victim, then throw the doll and the enemy will fly in the direction the doll was thrown. Good for easily eliminating one enemy with full health by throwing them into the water or setting off a mine that is near a group of pirates.
 * Tidal waves - Use to send a huge wave across the bottom of the stage. This will affect everybody it hits. Can do extensive damage to anybody it hits but must make sure that most of the enemies are near the bottom of the screen and most of pirates are safe up.

Beta elements
Found in the files of Mutiny is a Boulder with ink on it, and a weapon with the icon of a Heart. The Heart weapon may have possibly been able to be used to give health to nearby teammates, the Boulder with Ink's purpose unknown.
