Everything About Best Disciple Build in Throne and Liberty

The Staff is a Magic damage ranged weapon in Throne and Liberty. It offers crowd control skills in PVE that are best for stunning enemies and removing a threat. Staff in Throne and Liberty depend on Mana and heavy attacks. This weapon can cause massive damage by effective rotation of your abilities. Along with the AoE damage, Staff also provide single-target damage based on your chosen skills. Staff create huge explosions and it is the best bet for you to level up and clear the objectives in the game.

In Throne and Liberty, skills are abilities you can use and change depending on your equipped weapons.  Unlike other MMORPGs, your weapon choices determine your skills and Build.  You can swap weapons and gain a new set of skills that you learn throughout the leveling process.  Moreover, skills come in three forms: active, passive, and defensive.

Staff Pros	Staff Cons
Damage Overtime	Low DPS
Weather Buffs	Lacks Single Target
Easy to Play	Low Survivability
Long Range	Vulnerable at close range
AoE Damage	Long Cooldowns

Best Weapons Choice

The Main Hand weapon for this Build is the Staff. Staff is the best weapon to pick if your playstyle revolves around Damage Over Time (DoT). It has a long range and you can deal massive damage to enemies hovering at long distances in combat. The Staff damage is based on the Weather conditions. The interactive nature allows the Staff to provide a significant damage increase. However, this weapon also has a few drawbacks, as the Staff spells require time to cast and the cooldown takes much time. It also has lower DPS for the ranged weapon.

The Off-hand Weapon for the Best Disciple Build is the Sword and Shield. Sword and Shield provide you with excellent survivability and a very balanced playstyle in most scenarios. You can pair it with almost every other weapon available in Throne and Liberty to create unique Builds that suit your playstyle. Sword and Shield combination can also be effective at crowd control and can create opportunities for setting up the field and dealing massive damage.

The other weapon that works well with the Staff in Disciple Build is Longbow. Longbow allows you to stay stationary at the maximum range for optimal damage due to passives in Throne and Liberty. Longbow stands out due to its dynamic range combat. A longbow is a kind of unique weapon that is easy to use, deals massive damage, and provides high versatility. However, this weapon lacks mobility and is not useful at close range. It is specially built for long-range combat.

The Skill Specializations is a system in Throne and Liberty that allows you to adjust skills and how they function to optimize your Build to its highest potential. These Skill Specializations can buff range, damage, crowd control, add debuff, or even change how a skill works entirely.

Weapon Mastery

The best weapon mastery tree for the Best Disciple Build is Destroy from Staff and Boss from Sword and Shield.

Staff- Use 9 points into Destroy to gain Strange Spacetime and 6 points in Attribute for Ignition Booster.

Sword and Shield- Allocate 9 points into Boss for Subjugator’s Punishment and 6 points in 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 the Best Disciple Build are Strength and Wisdom.

Below is the best recommended Stat Point:

• 60 Strength: affects defense, maximum health, maximum damage, and minimum damage.
• 17 Dexterity: affects critical attack, evasion, and maximum damage.
• 54 Wisdom: affects maximum mana and mana regeneration, skill cooldown, and maximum damage.
• 30 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

Shade Revenant Stheno is the best Guardian for a Disciple Build because it boosts DPS. Five different projectiles are launched at the enemies that are available within a 10m radius. Multiple projectiles can hit a single target at once.

An Alternate to Shade Revenant Stheno is Green Ranger Elowen. It binds targets and increases damage to them. This is helpful to keep enemies at range and burst them down.

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 Disciple Build further. Moreover, these skills can only be used infrequently, as in 10 minutes, so save them for critical situations.

Best Weapons, Armor, and Accessories

Below is the recommended equipment for a Disciple build including weapons, armor, and accessories:

Equipment such as Weapons, Armor, and Accessories can be found throughout Throne and Liberty questing or combat.
