Luring or BK Luring, is a tactic used in blockading to redirect or alter Brigand King movements on the blockade board.

During a Brigand King or Barbarian King blockade, ships may be entered by any flag or any independent crew in an attempt to draw the BK ship(s) to lock onto them. When executed properly, the BK will lock onto and follow player ships resulting in many different opportunities and tactics to deploy. This can be implemented to move BK off-points, lure BK towards point clusters or lure BK onto other ships. Luring is an interference style of blockading. There are many luring tactics and styles, most of them are designed to achieve two main tasks, help BK or help the players.

• Luring to help an attacking or defending player flag - This is where BK ships are lured off-points, usually as far away from any large point clusters as possible. This gives a flag an opportunity to gather points while a BK ship(s) is distracted by another player ship.

• Luring to help BK - This is where BK ships are lured and lead towards large point clusters making the battle harder for the players. Main goal of this is to make the BK gather as much points as possible. Damaged BK ships can also be lured away from heat of the battle, this allows the BK to repair and heal.

Luring is best done solo. Although any ship can be used, the best and preferred ships are Sloop, Cutter, Dhow and Fanchuan because they are easier to maneuver solo. There is a lot of going in and out of the safe zone as BK ships will be approaching very close to the lurer. There might be also other player ships out there to try to stop the lurer. Best things to keep in mind are to be aware, cautious, creative and patient.

It is not very clear about the origins of luring. The pirates to implement it, perfect it, master it and base their entire gameplay style on it are Fedorov and Vampoman/Malevolence.
