Best Weapons Choice

The main hand weapon for the Darkblighter Build is the Wand. The wand is a ranged weapon that can also heal your party members in small bursts. Wand in Throne and Liberty is well-suited for solo and group PvE content. However, this weapon offers crowd control and deals massive damage. Just like other weapons in Throne and Liberty, the wand also has a few drawbacks, which include limited AOE damage and low DPS.

The offhand weapon for this Build is a Dagger. Dagger is a melee weapon that provides high burst damage, making it the perfect choice for players looking to create an assassin type of character in the game. The Playstyle revolves around increasing critical chance. Positioning the weapon to the side or rear of the target for additional damage and delivering multiple hits in rapid succession. This weapon is great for quickly deadly strikes in close combat. Being a melee weapon, Dagger offers close-range burst potential and mobility.

The other weapon that works well with Wand in Darkblighter Build is the Crossbow. Crossbow gives you access to Mobility mostly in the form of movement speed including a bind and movement speed reduction cleanse. This weapon also has built-in cooldown reduction mechanics further enhancing the overall speed and damage it can output. Crossbows are fast and deal a lot of damage but you’re squishy and you need to do it up close. Despite being considered a ranged weapon, Crossbow plays much more like a melee class than a ranged one and has weak AOE damage.

Weapon Mastery

The best weapon mastery tree for the Best Darkblighter Build is Damage from Wand and Assassination from Dagger.

Below are the best weapon mastery selections in Throne and Liberty using the Best Darkblighter Build.

• Wand- Allocate 9 points in Damage Tree and 6 points in Weaken for Time of Curse buff.

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 the Darkblighter Build are Dexterity and Perception.

Below is the best recommended Stat Point:

• 27 Strength: affects defense, maximum health, maximum damage, and minimum damage.
• 57 Dexterity: affects critical attack, evasion, and maximum damage.
• 28 Wisdom: affects maximum mana and mana regeneration, skill cooldown, and maximum damage.
• 54 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

The best Guardian for a Best Darkblighter Build is Lady Knight Kamarshea because of her cooldown reduction and mana shield. If you have enough survivability, look to Masked Warlock Dantalux and the skill Abyssal Sanctuary for increased burst damage.

The best Guardian for the Darkblighter Build is the following:

• Masked Warlock Dantalux (Abyssal Sanctuary)- an offensive ability that increases bonus damage when consuming mana to use a skill.
• Eternal Barrier (Lady Knight Kamarshea)- 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 Darkblighter Build further. Moreover, these skills can only be used infrequently, as in 10 minutes, so save them for critical situations.
