The best weapon mastery tree for the Raiden Build is Incapacitate from Greatsword and Disguise from Dagger.

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

• Greatsword- Use 9 points in Incapacitate for Film Resolution and 6 points in Charge for Overcome Snare.

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 Raiden Build are Perception and Dexterity.

Below is the best recommended Stat Point:

• 30 Strength: affects defense, maximum health, maximum damage, and minimum damage.
• 44 Dexterity: affects critical attack, evasion, and maximum damage.
• 18 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

Shade Revenant Stheno is the best Guardian for a Raiden 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 Raiden Build further. Moreover, these skills can only be used infrequently, as in 10 minutes, so save them for critical situations.
