Everything About Best Leveling Crossbow Build in Throne and Liberty

In Throne and Liberty, the Crossbow is a weapon that’s designed around crits. A crossbow is a fast weapon that deals massive damage and gives access to mobility. To increase the overall speed and damage, the crossbow has cooldown reduction mechanics. The Crossbow is a single-target damage weapon that provides debuff potential and makes it handy when fighting bosses or targets needing single-target DPS.

Skills in Throne and Liberty are the abilities that you can modify and are based on the weapons you’re currently equipping. Your Build and Skills are decisive in your weapons selection. Weapons can be swapped and you can acquire new skills that you learn during a leveling process in the game. Active, Passive, and Defensive are the three different types of skills in Throne and Liberty.

Best Weapons Choice

Crossbow in Throne and Liberty is a single-target damage and has the ability to target health below 50%. The Crossbow deals damage from a safe distance and allows you to eliminate the enemies without taking any damage. Crossbow has a large number of active and passive skills in the game. This is a weapon type to choose if you enjoy range damage, staffing, and keeping enemies at a distance. However, this weapon lacks AOE capabilities and takes a lot of time to reload bolts.

The Off-hand Weapon for the Staff Build is the Staff. Staff in Throne and Liberty is a ranged magic damage-dealing weapon. It deals damage in direct hits, dots, and area (AOE). The Staff has the longest range in the game with a good amount of the damage coming from burn dots. Not only can the Staff deal AoE damage, but it can also deal damage over time. However, this weapon is Vulnerable at close range and has long cooldowns along with the low DPS.

The other weapon that works well with the Crossbow is a dagger. Use a Dagger’s single critical hit to remove enemies who have less than 50% health and it excels in close-range battle only. If use a dagger perfectly in close-range combat, you can gain Critical hit damage, burst damage, and Crowd Control effects as well.  Dagger can deal out poison on your opponents and is best used for crowd control with low defensive abilities in the fight.

Defense Skills

Rapturing Parry

The defensive skill for the crossbow is rapturing parry, which is when you defend against attacks. On defending against a Fury attack while stationary, it deals base damage to the attacker. However, if the fury is blocked, then a Vampiric attack is activated. When Vampiric, you regenerate health based on damage dealt to the target.

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.

Weapon Mastery

The best weapon mastery tree for the Crossbow Build is Chain Fire and Mana because it increases attack speed and Mana Blessing.

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

• Crossbow- Consume 9 points into Chain Fire to gain Buff Duration, then switch to Move Tree.
• Staff- Allocate 9 points to Mana and then switch to Destroy for Base damage.

Weapon Mastery is a system that gives you experience for your weapon that is equipped proportional to the experience earned.  Weapon Mastery points are limited at the beginning of the game but you gain more mastery points as you progress in the game. While your off-hand weapon gains less weapon mastery, your main-hand weapon gets all the mastery points.

Best Stat Points

The most important stat for a Crossbow Build is Strength and then Dexterity.

Below is the best recommended Stat Point:

• 30 Strength: affects defense, maximum health, maximum damage, and minimum damage.
• 35 Dexterity: affects critical attack, evasion, and maximum damage.
• 20 Wisdom: affects maximum mana and mana regeneration, skill cooldown, and maximum damage.
• 29 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

Green Ranger Elowen is the best Guardian for the leveling Crossbow build because it binds targets and increases damage to them. This is helpful to keep enemies at range and burst them down.

An Alternate to Green Ranger Elowen is Lady Knight Kamarshea because of the shield and cooldown reductions she provides. Lady Knight is a defensive shield that helps survivability.

Guardians are 10-minute cooldown “ultimate” abilities that should be used during intense fights, bosses, or near death. She’s a powerful skill and can be unlocked after reaching level 25 and completing chapter 25. Complete Chapter 25 and reach level 25 to acquire Guardians.
