Re:AOPG Factions
Marines, Pirates, and Revolutionaries — perks and PvP matchups.
Factions are the late-game character decision in Re:AOPG. Once you hit level 100, you are invited to join one of three factions. Each faction grants unique perks, unlocks specific raids, and shapes the PvP matchups you will fight in.
Marines
- Perk 1: +10% damage against Pirates and Revolutionaries.
- Perk 2: Access to Marine HQ raids (the strongest PvE content).
- Perk 3: Free Admiral-tier accessory on faction join.
- Best for: Players who want to focus on PvE raids.
- Drawback: Bounty hunters (Pirates and Revolutionaries) target you in open-world PvP.
Pirates
- Perk 1: +15% gold and gem drops from all sources.
- Perk 2: Access to the Grand Line raid (the most prestigious PvE content).
- Perk 3: Free Pirate Captain-tier title on faction join.
- Best for: Players who want the strongest grind economy.
- Drawback: Marines are hostile, which means open-world PvP is more frequent.
Revolutionaries
- Perk 1: +20% XP gain from all sources.
- Perk 2: Access to the Revolutionary Army raid.
- Perk 3: Free Revolutionary-tier accessory on faction join.
- Best for: Players who want the fastest leveling path.
- Drawback: Smallest faction, so raid queue times are longer.
How to Join a Faction
The faction NPC appears in your inventory menu at level 100. You can choose any faction, but the choice is permanent unless you spend 50,000 gems on the faction-reroll NPC.
Which Faction Is Best?
The “best” faction depends on your goals:
- Free-to-play players: Revolutionaries. The +20% XP gain is the strongest economic bonus.
- PvE-focused players: Marines. Marine HQ raids drop the best accessories.
- Gold farmers: Pirates. The +15% gold drops compound over time.
- PvP-focused players: Marines. The +10% damage bonus is decisive in 1v1 fights.
PvP Matchups
The faction system creates a three-way rock-paper-scissors matchup:
- Marines are strong against Pirates and Revolutionaries.
- Pirates are strong against Revolutionaries.
- Revolutionaries are neutral — no faction bonus against anyone.
In practice, the matchups matter most in open-world PvP, where killing a hostile faction rewards bonus XP. Coordinated groups will often swap factions to maximize the bonus.
What to Do After Joining
Once you have joined a faction, the natural next steps are:
- Run your faction’s raid at least once per week for the bonus rewards.
- Unlock the best builds that complement your faction’s perk.
- Hit max level using the leveling route.
- Join the faction Discord channel linked from the wiki hub.

Faction Lore
The three factions in Re:AOPG are drawn from the canonical One Piece universe:
- Marines — The World Government military. They serve the Celestial Dragons and oppose Pirates.
- Pirates — Outlaws who roam the Grand Line in search of the One Piece.
- Revolutionaries — A covert organization that opposes the World Government from within.
Your faction choice does not change the main story, but it does affect which NPCs are friendly, which raids you can join, and which factions are hostile in open-world PvP.
Faction Perks in Detail
The exact perk numbers per faction:
- Marines — +10% damage against Pirates and Revolutionaries. Marine HQ raids. Admiral-tier accessory on join.
- Pirates — +15% gold and gem drops. Grand Line raid. Pirate Captain title on join.
- Revolutionaries — +20% XP gain. Revolutionary Army raid. Revolutionary-tier accessory on join.
When to Join a Faction
You can join a faction at level 100. The recommended time is right when you hit 100, because the faction perk applies to every XP gain afterward. Most players join within an hour of hitting 100.
If you wait too long to join, you miss out on the perk stacking. For example, a Marine player who joins at level 150 will have missed 50 levels of +10% damage bonus against hostile factions.
Faction Switching
You can switch factions via the faction-reroll NPC. The cost is 50,000 gems, which is significant. Most players commit to their first faction and stay there for the entire game.
If you do decide to switch, the recommended time is right after a major patch, when the meta shifts and your current faction might not be optimal anymore.
Faction-Specific Raids
The three faction raids:
- Marine HQ Raid — The strongest PvE content. Drops the best accessories in the game.
- Grand Line Raid — The most prestigious PvE content. Drops titles and exclusive cosmetics.
- Revolutionary Army Raid — Smaller raid pool but the XP bonuses are strong.
All three raids are 30-minute coordinated clears. See the how to beat bosses guide for raid mechanics.
Faction Matchups in Open-World PvP
The faction system creates a three-way rock-paper-scissors matchup in open-world PvP:
- Marines are strong against Pirates and Revolutionaries.
- Pirates are strong against Revolutionaries.
- Revolutionaries are neutral — no faction bonus against anyone.
Coordinated groups will often swap factions to maximize the bonus XP from killing hostile players.
