Welcome to my Throne and Liberty PVP build guide, where I show you how to wield a Great Sword, Shield, and Daggers to dominate the battlefield with speed, precision, and burst damage. Whether you're a seasoned tank or just diving into the game, this build is designed to melt through enemies with fast combos and quick disengages. Best of all, it’s all about maximizing efficiency with low-cost gear—using blue-tier equipment that won’t break the bank but still delivers incredible damage. No need to farm endlessly for top-tier purple gear or empty your wallet—this build thrives with blue gear while costing less than 1,000 Throne and Liberty Lucent. It’s time to unleash chaos on the battlefield!

The Playstyle: Hit Hard, Disengage, Repeat

In this build, you’re not meant to engage in long, drawn-out battles. Think of yourself as an Assassin Rogue—you’re there to strike quickly, burst down enemies, and disappear before they even know what hit them. The key to mastering this build is speed, precision, and keeping your enemies off-balance. You’ll want to maximize your mobility, burst damage, and crowd control while ensuring you always have an escape route. The core of this build revolves around fast strikes with your Great Sword and dagger skills, combined with the defensive utility of a Shield to give you that extra bit of survivability when needed.

Key Guardians and Specializations

Before diving into the skills and abilities, it's important to choose your Guardian wisely. For this build, I recommend the Lady Knight for added survivability. Her defensive capabilities can save your life when you find yourself in tight situations. However, if you prefer to play as a pure glass cannon, you can opt for the Shade, which is a much more offensive-focused choice and can dish out massive damage with ease.

Now let’s break down the weapon choice and skills.

Weapons: Great Sword + Dagger Combo

Great Sword and Shield are your primary tools, but the dagger is your third weapon, providing you with versatility and additional burst. The dagger is your go-to for quick attacks, while the Great Sword is for high-impact, heavy hits. Here’s a look at the specific skills and abilities you’ll want to prioritize:

Dagger Skills:

· Shadow Strike: This is your primary gap closer. The distance increase on this skill makes it essential for catching up to fast-moving enemies. Make sure you take the Pro Edition to maximize the number of hits.

· Ankle Strike: This skill does excellent damage and allows you to prone enemies. Once this is leveled up to purple, it becomes a devastating tool in your arsenal.

· Camouflage: Camouflage is vital for quick escapes or repositioning. I recommend getting cooldown reduction to ensure you have this ability available as often as possible.

Great Sword Skills:

· Stunning Blow: This is one of your primary stuns. Stunning enemies is crucial for locking them down and setting up for other devastating attacks. Focus on increasing stun duration to keep your targets helpless.

· Death Blow: Once you’ve stunned your target, it’s time to follow up with the Death Blow for massive damage. This skill is crucial for delivering the killing blow after setting up your stuns.

· Frost Cleaving: This is an excellent finisher for low-health enemies, especially when you want to apply a damage-over-time effect. This ability adds substantial burst damage to your combos.

· Ascended Slash: It does great damage and helps you transition quickly into the next phase of your rotation. Maximize the damage increase and cooldown reduction to keep the pressure on.

· Guillotine Blade: One of your hardest-hitting abilities. It’s perfect for finishing off a target after applying some stuns and debuffs.

Passives: Maximizing Your Effectiveness

For this build, you’ll want to focus on passives that increase your damage output, defensive capabilities, and mobility. Here are some of the essential passives to grab:

1. Vital Force (Great Sword) – This increases your damage output significantly.

2. Cold Warrior – Adds bonus melee damage.

3. Constitution – Boosts your HP and survivability.

4. Indomitable Armor – Grants increased defense, perfect for staying alive during critical moments.

5. Victor’s Morale – Boosts mana regeneration and HP, ensuring you have enough resources to keep up your attacks.

6. Rful Edge – One of the best passives in the game, it offers a significant damage boost, especially in PVP.

7. Assassin’s Instinct – Enhances your ability to deal burst damage when sneaking up on enemies.

8. Shadow Walker – Increases your stealth abilities, allowing you to escape or reposition when needed.

Combat Rotation: The Key to Burst Damage

Now that we’ve set up the skills and passives, let’s talk about your combat rotation. This build focuses on burst damage and quickly proning enemies to follow up with devastating attacks. Here’s a simple yet effective rotation to follow:

1. Devastating Smash (for stunning the enemy)

2. Ankle Strike (to prone them)

3. Death Blow (to finish off the first phase of damage)

4. Frost Cleaving (use this after your stuns to apply more damage)

5. Stunning Blow (another stun to keep the pressure up)

6. Ascended Slash (increase your damage and prone the enemy again)

7. Guillotine Blade (the finishing move that does massive damage)

Once you’ve stunned and proned your target, you should be able to finish them off with Frost Cleaving or Guillotine Blade.

Full Rotation with Bosses

Against bosses or stronger opponents, you may need to adjust your rotation slightly to account for their higher resistance. Start by applying Stunning Blow and Ascended Slash to lock down your target. Follow up with Guillotine Blade for heavy damage, and then use Shadow Strike to teleport around and keep the pressure on. If needed, use Valiant Strike as a filler to ensure you don’t miss an opportunity to finish them off.

Blue Gear: Effective Without the Cost

A key element of this build is the ability to perform well even with blue gear. You don’t need to break the bank to be competitive in PVP. Blue gear can get you up to around 2900 CP, and once you start upgrading it to purple, you can push this even further to about 3200 CP. While purple gear might offer better stats, the difference in power is not as dramatic as you might think, and you can still dominate with blue-tier items.

Conclusion: A Fast, Lethal, and Efficient Build

If you're looking for a PVP build that focuses on speed, burst, and efficient combat, this assassin-tank hybrid is the one for you. By using a combination of greatsword and dagger skills, you'll be able to close gaps quickly, deal devastating damage, and escape unscathed. With the right gear, this build is cheap to run but extremely effective on the battlefield. Don't forget to experiment with your rotation and gear to fine-tune it to your play style. If you’re looking to take your Throne and Liberty experience to the next level, consider buying TL Lucent to speed up your progression and get the gear you need for your build. Whether you’re aiming to upgrade your Great Sword or fine-tune your dagger skills, having a steady supply of Lucent can save you time and effort, allowing you to focus on the action-packed combat. Good luck and happy hunting!
