In Throne and Liberty, the weapon types you choose will define the Star-born you’re building. Each weapon type has access to different skills, attack ranges, skill specializations, and defense options. Unlike other MMORPGs, Throne and Liberty doesn’t have any classes to choose from during the character creation phase of the game. Instead, you can decide your “class” by equipping a weapon type. Now, to change your “class,” simply equip a different weapon type.
To level up, you’ll need to improve your weapon mastery. Once you’ve made your choice, you’ll have a hard time rerolling for a different weapon type since you’ll have to start from Level 0 in weapon mastery if you intend to do so.
Luckily, Throne and Liberty has a feature implemented where you can equip two weapons on your Star-born. You can swap between the two at any time, and it won’t be an issue since the swap will be automatic. Since you can use two weapons, you can now use the skills and other perks of one weapon type while using the other to attack opponents.
Weapon Combos
Since Throne and Liberty lacks pre-determined classes, it gives players the freedom to use any of the weapons to fit and adapt in any situation. Right now, the game has 7 different weapon types to choose from: Sword and Shield, Daggers, Greatsword, Crossbow, Longbow, Staff, Wand, and Tome. Players can mix and match weapon types to best suit them and their playstyle. With this feature, there are many possible combinations to use. Here’s a guide on the best weapon combos in Throne and Liberty.
Staff + Wand And Tome Weapon Combo
If you want to focus on magic in Throne and Liberty, the Staff + Wand and Tome weapon combo is the best way to have an all-magic build. The Staff will offer attacks with great range and with the right spells it can be destructive. Since the Staff has long range covered, the Wand and Tome is great for short range and allows you to perform attacks and abilities that are useful when the enemies are close.
The Staff has good AOE which allows you to perform massive elemental damage with the weapon. Aside from massive damage, the Staff also has great power leveling, that allows you to clear a wave of enemies and level up your weapon. The Wand and Tome provide great support, if you want buffs, heal, and support allies in the game. It also allows you to crowd control by stunning enemies.
This type of flexibility when using magic is great to have, since other games tend to limit magic to either be effective only for long or short range, but never both. Having the option to switch from close-range attacks and long-range ones makes having an all-magic build fun to play with, but also helpful when playing with others.
Daggers + Sword And Shield Weapon Combo
For melee focused players, who love playing in other MMORPGs, this weapon combo allows you to be flexible in your melee attacks and have two ways of dealing damage. The Daggers + Sword and Shield provides you with flexibility in each fight you encounter.
The Sword and Shield provides players with a high survivability rate since it has defensive skills. You can also taunt enemies and grab their attention, which is essential when playing with others. Since Sword and Shield has defensive skills, it can provide damage reduction to you and your group. With Daggers being paired with Sword and Shield, it allows you to be an assassin in the game. Daggers provide high critical damage by taking a chunk of the enemy's health with its attacks. It also provides great mobility and nice burst damage.
With the Daggers quick and short attacks that can deal poison damage and the Sword and Shield’s higher damage slower swings, you’ll be able to use the best parts of this melee weapon combo. You can use the Daggers’ poison damage to start and then finish enemies off with a high damage swing with your Sword and Shield. The flexibility of this weapon combo allows you to be unapproachable with the Daggers’ close-range burst attacks and have great survivability with the Sword and Shield’s defensive skills and high damage attacks.
Longbow + Daggers Weapon Combo
This weapon combo is great for PvP because of its balanced build. Besides that, it provides versatility when dealing with opponents, as it can cover both close and long-range attacks.
As mentioned, Daggers provide high critical damage when facing off against enemies, as well as burst damage in a short period of time. The mobility and quick attacks when using Daggers complement the Longbow. The Longbow has the best overall damage for PvP and PvE, as it has great range damage. Besides that, the Longbow provides you and other players with heals when using it. When using this weapon combo, enemies or opponents who try to approach you while using the Longbow, will not be successful, since you can switch and equip your Daggers to swiftly attack them and deal some high critical damage.
Even though healing will be limited with this weapon combo, the benefits for this combination will make up for it. Having great close quarters attacks and dealing long range damage is essential when playing MMORPGs. This weapon combo covers the necessary skills and attacks when playing PvP but can also be great when playing in PvE.
Greatsword + Daggers Weapon Combo
You may be surprised with this weapon combo. Particularly since the Greatsword is one of the slowest weapons in the game, and now it's being paired up with the fastest melee weapon. The Greatswords + Daggers weapon combo provides the best damage output in Throne and Liberty. If you use the right abilities with the two weapons, you can deal damage to enemies quickly.
The Greatsword is one of the best melee weapons with its great AoE damage, and is especially good for players looking to be tanks. It also has great crowd control by stunning enemies. While the Greatsword has survivability, it becomes an issue during cooldowns. This is where the Daggers come into play with their high mobility and burst attacks. So, if your Greatsword is in cooldown , be sure to use your Daggers to evade enemy attacks instead.
The Greatsword + Daggers weapon combo works for players who enjoy PvE, but is also good for players who prefer PvP. With the AoE damage of the Greatsword and the high critical damage of Daggers, this weapon combo is a heavy hitter.
Sword And Shield + Wand And Tome Weapon Combo
This last weapon combo is the best one overall. The Sword and Shield + Wand and Tome weapon combo covers all the bases. It allows you to have access to both melee and magic abilities that offer great damage and defense. It also allows you to use abilities where you can heal a character or teammate. It offers good offense but also provides support when you’re in a pinch.
The Sword and Shield has great survivability and allows you to be a tank in the game. With its taunt you can aggro enemies. When the Sword and Shield is paired with the Wand and Tome, they complement each other. With the Wand and Tome being able to buff and heal you and provide crowd control, you can finish enemies off with your melee attacks using the Sword and Shield. Since both weapon types have support abilities, you can now provide heals and protect your teammates by using melee and magic attacks.
The Sword and Shield + Wand and Tome weapon combo provides you with a balanced build. This combination can be good for PvP and PvE will deal the necessary damage output and defense.
These weapon combos will see its full potential when you reach Level 50 or when you’ve unlocked almost all the skills and have gained full weapon mastery. Your play style can also affect how you use the weapon combos. If you find one lacking or unsuitable, be sure to switch to a different weapon type. Overall, these weapon combos are great for any stage of the game and will help you defeat any enemies and opponents that you might face in Throne and Liberty.
