Best Weapons Choice

The secondary weapon choice for the off-hand is a Dagger. Dagger in Throne and Liberty excels in close-quarter combat, but be mindful of your positioning. A dagger is a single-target weapon that can eliminate enemies below 50% health with a single critical hit. Dagger is a melee weapon that provides Burst damage, Critical hit damage, and Crowd Control. Dagger deals bonus damage to stunned enemies, so using status effects will greatly improve your damage output. Being a melee weapon, Dagger offers close-range burst potential and mobility.

The other weapon that works well with the Greatsword is the Crossbow. 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.
