Throne & Liberty is an expansive MMORPG from NCSOFT, combining the depth of PvE with PvP foment. There are different roles, strengths, and weaknesses for each Weapon combo in PvP, and knowing how they match up against other classes is part of PvP success. This Throne and Liberty PvP tier list rates each build in terms of damage, crowd control, survivability, and general utility, giving you options for how they fare in one-on-one duels, group fights, and large-scale battles.
S-Tier Weapon Combinations
1. Sword & Shield + Greatsword
Strengths
Huge Damage + Tankiness: Greatsword is great for packing all that damage into such a small number of spells between its combos and AoE, whereas Sword & Shield offer an unrivalled amount of survivability while being able to tank good amounts of crowd control as well. Together, it allows for some strong DPS with a lot of defense.
Crowd Control: The Greatsword has knockdowns and stuns on its abilities, while the Sword & Shield can maintain more consistent control over the battlefield with stuns alongside utility from blocking.
Flexibility: This is good in both 1v1 and in large engagements Players can flip-flop from being a damage-dealing glass cannon to a tank, causing them to become unpredictable and difficult to counter.
Why It's S-Tier: Greatsword offers offensive prowess while Sword & Shield provides useful tools on the defensive end and the combination of both lets players be adaptable to any situation. Supporting the highest damage per second or surviving and outlasting your enemy, this combo is good all around for PvP.
2. Longbow + Staff
Strengths
The Staff is a multipurpose caster's weapon that can do both ranged and magical damage when used in conjunction with the Crossbow. With an emphasis on elemental damage and high-precision attacks, this combo mostly relies on ranged fighting.
Ranged Dominance: The Staff delivers elemental effects and debuffs, while the Crossbow adds accuracy for long-range combat. This combination consistently deals ranged damage.
Support Role: The staff's healing spells and crowd control abilities make it useful in group content where the player can play a more supporting role.
Why it’s S-Tier: It's a very well-rounded combo but is an S-tier for players that need both magical and physical utility yet prefer ranged combat.
A-Tier Weapon Combinations
1. Bow + Dagger (Rogue Assassin)
Strengths
Range and CC: You can use the Bow to keep your enemy far away and attack from a distance, whereas you can rely on the Dagger for quick near-damage dealing and supporting. Together, they rule the field. First, the Bow keeps the foes away, and then the Dagger attacks an extra layer of combat protection.
Survivability: The Dagger helps in CC and to survive, while the Bow brings ranged pressure. This mix can endure significant damage dealt in fights and provide shielding against the enemies to move forward.
Group Fight Control: The Bow shines in team duels allowing the players to reach multiple foes at long range while the Dagger guarantees that they do not come near the party.
Why It's A-Tier: Bow + Dagger is super awesome when it comes to both space control and the flow of battle. It has a particular attraction in group PvP, where the quickness of disturbing more than one foe and occupying large sections is pretty much harmless. It is also quite fast and offers bursts or combos, and control features making it a solid A-Tier pick.
2. Sword & Shield + Dagger:
Strengths
If you are both offensive and defensive, this combination is lethal. It is incredibly adaptable since it enables fast-paced combat with the dagger and adds an extra degree of protection from adversaries by combining high sword and shield damage.
Versatility: While the high damage of the Sword and Dagger guarantees that the player may still contribute to the damage output, the defensive power of the Shield enables players to absorb damage and sustain aggro.
Sustained Combat: This combo is perfect for tanking in group PvE battles since it lets the player distract monsters or bigger foes while still dealing a lot of damage.
Why it’s A-Tier: When the player can assume a tanking role in group content, Team Synergy performs effectively. Therefore the versatility of these weapons combined can give you a great edge over your opponents.
B-Tier Weapon Combinations
1. Greatsword + Crossbow
Strengths
High Burst Damage: The Greatsword can tank a lot of damage, and the Crossbow can take out enemies from afar. In that way, gamers can play the strategy of keeping the enemy away and doing melee damage as well.
Mobility and Damage: With the Greatsword’s damage, you can easily flank/escape the enemy as well as the Crossbow which is still capable of hitting the enemy in a long-range duel.
Offensive Pressure: Each of the two weapons is extremely offensive and thus, it proves to be the best way to overpower foes in combat.
Why It’s B-Tier: Even though this combo can make the gameplay as fun through its verstaility, it can suffer from slowness and lack of mobility compared to the other combinations. Crossbow and Greatsword are effective weapons that could have a very big impact.
2. Staff + Wand
Strengths
Defense + Control: Wand does very well in the defensive drive by giving healing buffs, while Staff gives crowd control and short-ranged damage. Their strengths as a duo fall back to being a tank and a ranged pressure.
Prolonged Fights: This setup works quite nicely in long fights, as the Wand heals and feels a safety net, while Staff places more pressure on the enemies.
Why It’s B Tier: This combination of Staff and Wand seems to be better suited to team-based PvP, wherein the necessity for healing and sustain gain much more importance. This combination is not the burst damage or mobility that you'd expect from other combinations faster offense-based combos could give them a run for their money, but done right within a team composition, good support/crowded control can be inflicted.
C-Tier Weapon Combos
Most PvP combinations designed here are poor at PvP most times due to their application in highly specific or niche situations. Such types of combinations rely heavily on optimal skill or perfect teamwork to realize their full potential or effectiveness.
1. Sword & Shield + Crossbow
Strengths
Tanky with Ranged Precision: The Sword and Shield output tanky-ness and control by focusing the front line. The Crossbow, on the other hand, provides the ranged precision needed to target the opponents.
Crowd Control and Sniping: The Sword & Shield of the Body provides CC and defense while the Crossbow can pick off a target from a distance. This is a vital skill in the battlefield, especially when the backlines of the enemy are vulnerable to such sniper attacks.
Defensive and Support Role: This combination of the weapons is an exceptional pick if your playstyle is more of a defensive one. The Sword & Shield functions as a tank, while the Crossbow, is useful to items irritating at long distances among the frontline.
Why It’s A-Tier: This combination is extremely well suited in a supporting and tank role, the very nature of Sword & Shield lends a defensive synergy and the Crossbow simultaneously accommodates extended offensive maneuvers through ranged in itself.
2. Wand + Crossbow
Strength
Balance of Damage Dealing and Target Cancellation: The crossbow is nice for long-range damage, with the Wand providing magic damage and crowd control, forming a sturdy line of defensive yet ranged support.
Why It's C-Tier:
Again, this combination is far too slow to feel agile and lacks the offensive burst of other setups. It has utility on its side, but when we need speed or require massive burst damage, other combinations seem more effective.
