Weapon Mastery

The best weapon mastery tree for the Solo Greatsword Build is Charge because it focuses on increasing stun chance.

Below are the best weapon mastery selections in Throne and Liberty using the Solo Greatsword Build.

• Greatsword- Use 9 points on the Charge to gain a stun chance and then switch to the Face Off tree because it helps with damage.
• Sword and Shield- Use 9 points on Boss to gain Stun resistance, then switch to the Provoke & Counter for Impregnable Stance.

Weapon Mastery is a system that gives you experience for your weapon that is equipped proportional to the experience earned.  Thus, at the start of the game, Weapon Mastery points are limited, but you will start earning more as your experience per kill and quest increase with level and zones. Your main hand weapon gains increased weapon mastery, while off-hand still gains some, just not as much.

Best Stat Points

The most important stats for a Greatsword Solo build are dexterity and perception.

Below is the best recommended Stat Point:

• 70 Strength: affects defense, maximum health, maximum damage, and minimum damage.
• 30 Dexterity: affects critical attack, evasion, and maximum damage.
• 21 Wisdom: affects maximum mana and mana regeneration, skill cooldown, and maximum damage.
• 35 Perception: effect accuracy of attacks, Crowd Control effects, enhancing time boost ability, maximum damage, and minimum damage.

In Throne and Liberty, stat points are earned while leveling and increasing your effectiveness.  When you spend a stat point, you increase the effectiveness of that related attribute. However, after a certain number of points, you reach diminishing returns, and two points are required to increase a stat rather than one. Moreover, once stats reach a certain level spent (30 or greater), you gain unique bonuses.

Guardian

Green Ranger Elowen is the best Guardian for a Solo Greatsword build because it binds targets and increases damage to them. This is helpful to keep enemies at range and burst them down.

An Alternate to Green Ranger Elowen is Lady Knight Kamarshea because of the shield and cooldown reductions she provides. Lady Knight is a defensive shield that helps survivability.

Guardians act as a short-term ultimate or super ability with powerful effects and a long cooldown. Ideally, you want to select a Guardian that either enhances a strength or covers up a weakness.  You obtain Guardians after level 25 and completing Chapter 25. From that point, you can find how to obtain additional Guardians to enhance your Greatsword Solo Build further. Moreover, these skills can only be used infrequently, as in 10 minutes, so save them for critical situations.
