Throne and Liberty New Tier List: Best Classes for Beginners

Choosing a class in Throne and Liberty can be difficult because your class comes from two weapon combinations. A setup may look strong for damage but feel less useful when you need defense, healing, range, or better group utility.

This beginner guide compares the weapon combinations from the supplied tier list. The rankings are an overall view of PvE, PvP, damage, healing, tanking, and general play rather than a strict list for one mode.

Throne and Liberty new tier list overview

Throne and Liberty does not use a fixed class choice in the same way as a traditional class-based MMO. Your role and playstyle come from the two weapons you use together. This gives you room to build around defense, healing, ranged damage, melee pressure, or a mix of several roles.

This tier list is a broad comparison of the combinations discussed in the source guide. It is not a permanent ranking. Balance changes, gear, traits, runes, skill choices, and player skill can all change how a setup performs. A lower-ranked combination can still work well when it matches your playstyle.

• S tier: Sword and shield with wand, sword and shield with dagger, sword and shield with greatsword, longbow with dagger, longbow with staff, crossbow with dagger, staff with wand, and staff with dagger.
• A tier: Sword and shield with staff, greatsword with staff, greatsword with wand, longbow with wand, longbow with crossbow, crossbow with staff, wand with crossbow, and wand with dagger.
• B tier: Greatsword with longbow, sword and shield with crossbow, greatsword with crossbow in the general ranking, and sword and shield with longbow.

The source guide sometimes gives a combination a different rating for a specific role. For example, greatsword with crossbow is treated as a stronger PvE option than its overall placement suggests. Keep that difference in mind when using the list.

Best Throne and Liberty classes for beginners

Beginners usually benefit from a combination that is useful in more than one situation. A flexible build can make it easier to learn combat, join groups, and adjust when your preferred activity changes.

Sword and shield with wand

This paladin-style combination focuses on defense, healing, and dependable group value. Sword and shield gives the setup a defensive foundation, while wand adds healing and some damage. The guide places it in S tier and considers it especially suitable for PvE and general gameplay.

Sword and shield with greatsword

This is a strong choice for players who want a durable melee setup. The guide highlights its versatility in sieges, PvP, and open-world mob farming. It is a practical option when you want to stay close to enemies while keeping strong survivability.

Longbow with dagger

Longbow and dagger combine ranged attacks with the dagger’s offensive and critical-focused tools. The guide rates this pairing highly because it can perform consistently in both PvE and PvP. It is a good fit for players who want reliable damage without committing to a purely melee setup.

Staff with wand

Staff with wand is one of the clearest support choices in the list. The source guide presents it as an S-tier healing combination with damage and mana-related advantages. Consider it if you want to help a party while still contributing offensive pressure.

Best melee weapon combinations

Sword and shield with dagger

This pairing mixes defensive tools with the dagger’s offensive abilities. The guide places it in S tier because it can offer tankiness, critical damage, stealth, ambush pressure, and poison-related skills. It suits players who want a durable melee character with more offensive options.

Greatsword with dagger

Greatsword and dagger is built around aggressive melee combat. The source guide considers it strong in arenas, one-on-one fights, and open-world PvP. It may be less suited to some large-scale situations than sword and shield with greatsword, but it remains a powerful choice for players who enjoy direct combat.

Greatsword with wand

This setup trades some damage focus for better survivability and healing. The guide rates it as an A-tier option for general gameplay. It can suit players who want a melee weapon but do not want to rely only on damage to stay effective.

Best ranged weapon combinations

Longbow with staff

The guide places longbow with staff in S tier. It describes the pairing as a strong ranged setup with high damage, self-healing, and useful support potential. It is aimed at players who want to fight from range while keeping tools for sustained gameplay.

Crossbow with dagger

Crossbow and dagger is presented as a fast, high-damage combination with strong single-target pressure. The source guide also notes that quick reactions and low latency are important for this style. Choose it if you enjoy rapid skill use and close-to-medium-range combat rather than a slower defensive approach.

Longbow with crossbow

This combination sits in A tier in the guide. Longbow provides longer-range attacks, while crossbow works at a shorter distance. That difference can make the rotation feel less natural, but the pairing still offers solid damage and a flexible ranged playstyle.

Crossbow with staff

Crossbow with staff combines medium-range attacks with staff damage and mana support. The guide considers it a reliable A-tier option, although it may feel less durable than some other combinations. It can suit players who want damage and range without choosing a pure longbow setup.

Healing and support combinations

Wand is the main healing-focused weapon discussed in the guide, but the best pairing depends on whether you want dedicated support or a balance between healing and damage.

• Staff with wand: the strongest dedicated healing and support option in the list.
• Longbow with wand: a balanced ranged combination with healing and damage.
• Wand with dagger: a more offensive healing setup with critical-focused pressure.
• Wand with crossbow: a flexible option that combines healing with crossbow damage.
• Sword and shield with wand: a defensive choice for players who want to support a group from the front.

If healing is your main goal, staff with wand or longbow with wand are the clearest choices from this guide. If you want to heal while playing more aggressively, wand with dagger or wand with crossbow may feel more suitable.

How to choose your first class

Start with the type of combat you enjoy rather than choosing only the highest tier. A top-ranked combination can feel uncomfortable if its range, rotation, or role does not match your habits.

• Choose sword and shield combinations if you prefer defense, durability, or a frontline role.
• Choose greatsword combinations if you enjoy direct melee attacks and strong close-range pressure.
• Choose longbow or staff combinations if you prefer ranged combat.
• Choose wand combinations if healing and party support are important to you.
• Choose dagger combinations if you like critical damage, burst pressure, and faster combat.
• Choose crossbow combinations if medium-range attacks and high single-target damage appeal to you.

Also consider how much you want to specialize. A focused healer may gain more from staff with wand, while a player who wants one setup for several activities may prefer longbow with dagger or sword and shield with greatsword.

Why a tier list is not a final answer

The source guide is based on broad impressions from Korean server play and discusses expected strength around the time of the original global-release discussion. It should be used as a starting point, not as a current patch guarantee.

Gear, traits, runes, skill specializations, and experience can make a large difference. The guide also notes that many weapon combinations can perform well when the player understands the build and has suitable equipment. A B-tier combination is not automatically weak, and an S-tier combination is not automatically the best choice for every player.

Before investing heavily in one setup, test how its weapon ranges work together, how comfortable the skill rotation feels, and whether its main role matches the content you want to play.
