Tank Build in Throne and Liberty, Sword and Shield with Greatsword Guide

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that this guide for building a tank in Throne and Liberty is a game-changer! The focus on Strength as the primary stat, coupled with the Sword & Shield for defense and the Greatsword for damage and AoE skills, creates a formidable force that’s sure to protect my allies while dishing out some serious damage.

In Throne and Liberty, centered on fortifying defense with a Sword & Shield, and inflicting damage and area-of-effect (AoE) harm using a Greatsword, here’s a guide that will lead you through the crucial stats to prioritize, key skills to choose, and optimal gear choices to enhance your character class performance.

Stats

In assembling the supreme Tank, it’s crucial to prioritize toughness as the key attribute, as it substantially enhances your Tank’s durability and performance by amplifying its:

Max Health
Health Regeneration
Melee Defense
Damage Output

Focus on Strength initially until you reach its cap, then start allocating points to other stats.

Weapons

Main hand weapon: Sword & Shield.
Off-hand weapon: Greatsword.

This combination of Sword & Shield and Greatsword shines in farming due to its potent area-of-effect passive abilities and skills. As a Tank, you can protect your team from a substantial amount of incoming damage, as well as boost their attack power. The primary drawback of this build is the lengthy cooldowns, but you can choose skills that help minimize these wait times. Don’t forget that your Greatsword’s passive abilities remain active while using the off-hand weapon.
