Everything About Best Scout Build in Throne and Liberty

Longbow is the best-in-slot support and a great DPS option in Throne and Liberty. It offers cooldown resets on major damage-dealing skills allowing you to utilize your strongest damage skills over and over up to three times.

Weapons can be swapped and you can acquire new skills you learn during a leveling process in the game. Active, Passive, and Defensive are the three different types of skills in Throne and Liberty.

Longbow Pros	Longbow Cons
Easy to Use	Low Mobility
High AoE Damage	Vulnerable at Close Range
Self-Healing	Rotation Dependant
Extremely Versatile	Mana Hungry

Best Weapons Choice

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

The Off-hand Weapon for the Best Scout Build is the Crossbow. This weapon 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. They 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.

The other weapon that works well with the Longbow in Scout Build is the Staff. The staff 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. However, it has lower DPS for the ranged weapon.

Best Skills

Zephyr’s Nock and Mortal Mark (Active Skills) are the best skills to use along with the Rapidfire Stance and Piercing Strike (Passive Skills) including Overtaker.

Defense Skills

Block Blade

The best longbow defensive skill for Scout Build in Throne and Liberty is the Overtaker. You boost defensive for 3 seconds when you defend against an attack while stationary.  Defending a Fury Attack with 0.5 seconds will enhance not only Ranged Critical Hit by 410 for 5s but also Melee and Magic. Damage Production and Mobility are the two roles of defensive skills in the game.

Defensive skills are skills that allow you to defend against attacks. Enemies will have a “Fury Attack,” a purple circle drawing down to a central point. You can defend against the Fury Attack by using your defensive skill at the precious moment for a perfect defense. Each weapon has its defensive skill, which consumes stamina instead of mana, shown on the left of your User Interface when used. Special effects occur when you successfully defend against a Fury Attack; timing is vital for maximizing your build’s potential.

Upgrading Skills in Throne and Liberty is a long process requiring crafting materials but increases the effectiveness of your skills. Moreover, you can increase your skill after reaching level five to gain a rare or epic bonus.

Adjust skills and improve your Build to its Apex capability by utilizing a system in Throne and Liberty known as Skill Specializations. This system in Throne and Liberty not only provides crowd control and debuff but also grants you a buff range and completely modifies the working of skills.

Weapon Mastery

The best weapon mastery tree for the Scout Build is Check from Longbow and Move from Crossbow.

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

• Longbow- Use 9 points on Check and then move to Sniping for Ranged hit.
• Crossbow- Consume 9 points into Move and then swap to Chain Fire to get Brutal Wound.

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 stat for the Scout build is Dexterity and Perception.  

Below is the best recommended Stat Point:

• 29 Strength: affects defense, maximum health, maximum damage, and minimum damage.
• 50 Dexterity: affects critical attack, evasion, and maximum damage.
• 23 Wisdom: affects maximum mana and mana regeneration, skill cooldown, and maximum damage.
• 49 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 Scout 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 Scout 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 Scout build including weapons, armor, and accessories:

Equipment such as Weapons, Armor, and Accessories can be found throughout Throne and Liberty questing or combat. However, crafting specific equipment that grants bonuses to your Build will be the most effective way to increase your power.
