Hey everyone, it’s Librarian Husky here with a tier list of the best classes in Throne and Liberty. Below, you’ll find all 21 possible weapon combinations currently available in the game. Let’s delve into the top combinations based on the current Korean servers and speculate on what might be expected for the global release.

Comprehensive Tier List Overview

Before diving into specifics, it’s crucial to note that this is a comprehensive tier list. It doesn’t exclusively focus on PVP or PVE but evaluates the overall effectiveness of various builds or classes. This list considers the general viability of each class, without limiting the discussion to damage, healing, or tanking roles.

Sword and Shield with Wand: A Prime Combination

Starting with one of the top combinations: sword and shield paired with a wand. The latest updates on the Korean servers have introduced significant changes, yet the sword and shield with wand combination remains an S-tier choice. This paladin-style build is still highly effective, offering strong tanking capabilities with the sword and shield, while the wand adds healing power and respectable damage output. This setup is particularly well-suited for PVE, but it’s also versatile enough for general gameplay.

General Strategy for Class Combinations

This tier list doesn’t separate classes into PVP or PVE categories, nor does it strictly categorize them as damage, healing, or tanking roles. Instead, it highlights versatile combinations that offer utility for your party. The Paladin build, especially with the latest updates on the Korean servers, remains solidly in the S-tier. I’ll also discuss other changes to various classes and weapons, but rest assured, the sword and shield with wand combination remains a top-tier choice.

Greatsword and Longbow: A Solid Pairing

Moving on to the greatsword and longbow combination—this was one of the first pairings I experimented with on the Korean servers, and it was actually the very first setup I played after the game launched on December 7, 2023. At this point, I would place this combination in the B-tier. I’m somewhat conflicted between A-tier and B-tier, but ultimately, I’ll categorize it as B-tier due to its decent performance, even if it’s not the top choice.

Advantages and Limitations of the Greatsword and Longbow

The greatsword, known for its melee prowess, and the longbow, a potent ranged weapon, form a synergistic combination. However, if you lean towards a melee-focused playstyle, you might find it more beneficial to pair the greatsword with a weapon like a dagger. Conversely, those who prefer ranged combat might find the longbow more effective when paired with a different secondary weapon. The greatsword and longbow combination provides a balanced mix of melee and ranged capabilities, but the damage output may not be as high as some other setups, positioning it more as a mid-tier DPS option.

Top DPS Weapon Pairings

For those aiming to maximize DPS, there are more efficient weapon combinations available. While the greatsword and longbow offer enjoyable gameplay, they fit best in the B-tier due to their moderate performance. Let’s explore another formidable combination.

Sword and Shield with Dagger: An S-Tier Powerhouse

Pairing the sword and shield with a dagger is undeniably an S-tier setup. This is not only due to the sword and shield‘s defensive capabilities but largely because of the dagger’s unparalleled status as the top secondary weapon in *Throne and Liberty*. New players should definitely explore the dagger’s potential, as it boasts remarkable passive abilities that greatly enhance critical damage and overall offensive power. Additionally, the dagger offers a variety of active abilities such as stealth, ambush strike, shadow strike, and poison, among others. Despite some nerfs and balance adjustments, the dagger continues to dominate as the best secondary weapon in the game.

Playing with the Sword, Shield, and Dagger

The sword and shield paired with a dagger delivers an exceptional gameplay experience. The synergy between these weapons allows for smooth skill rotations and a fluid, satisfying playstyle. This combination is not only effective but also highly enjoyable in general gameplay. If you’re looking for a setup that feels great in your hands, this is it. Let’s proceed to examine another outstanding weapon pairing.

Sword and Shield with Greatsword: A Versatile S-Tier Combination

The sword and shield paired with a greatsword unquestionably belongs in the S-tier. This combination excels in versatility and strength, making it ideal for a range of activities, whether you’re engaging in large-scale sieges, PVP, or open-world mob farming. The sword and shield with greatsword setup is exceptionally tanky and reliable, even when not paired with a secondary weapon like a dagger. It’s a favored choice among many Korean players, offering a powerful and universal playstyle. If you’re seeking a solid and dependable class, the sword and shield with greatsword is an excellent choice.

Longbow and Dagger: A Versatile S-Tier Combination

Let’s dive into the longbow and dagger pairing, which I firmly place in the S-tier. This combination is more than just the dagger’s ability to enhance critical damage and overall damage through skills like poison and shadow strike. The true strength of this setup lies in its versatility. The longbow and dagger complement each other to form a universally effective weapon combination, allowing you to excel in both PVE and PVP scenarios. This pairing offers a well-rounded and highly adaptable playstyle.

Longbow and Dagger: Consistent Performance Across Scenarios

While you may not achieve the highest DPS, the longbow and dagger combination provides very solid DPS overall. This setup is particularly effective in dealing significant damage to bosses, offering sustained DPS over time. Unlike the greatsword and dagger, which may show fluctuations in damage output, the longbow and dagger deliver consistent and reliable performance. This makes it a versatile and effective choice for both PVP and PVE. Given its reliability, I’m inclined to make this my main combination for the global release. It’s a highly viable option that excels in a variety of situations.

Sword and Shield with Crossbow: A B-Tier Oddity

Let’s shift our focus to the sword and shield paired with a crossbow, an unusual combination. Although I’ve seen players using this setup, something about it feels off. I’m placing this combination in the B-tier. While I haven’t extensively played with this setup, it seems less optimal than others. If you’re considering using a crossbow as a secondary weapon, it might be better paired with a greatsword, especially for PVE. The sword and shield remain powerful as a primary weapon, but the crossbow as a secondary feels lacking. There are superior secondary weapon choices available, such as a wand, dagger, or even a greatsword. This melee and medium-range combination can deal damage, but other setups likely offer greater damage potential.

Sword and Shield with Staff: A-Tier Balance and Strength

I’ve decided to place the sword and shield combined with a staff in the A-tier. Initially, I considered the B-tier, but after further reflection, it deserves a higher ranking. Recent updates on the Korean servers introduced skill specializations, significantly boosting the staff’s viability and strength. Pairing the sword and shield, a melee, defense-oriented weapon, with the staff, a ranged, damage-focused weapon, feels much more effective than pairing the sword and shield with a crossbow. This setup offers high defense for survivability and impressive damage output, making it a strong, though not exceptional, choice. It’s a combination worth exploring.

Greatsword with Staff: A Reliable A-Tier Combination

Lastly, I’m placing the greatsword paired with a staff in the A-tier as well. Although this combination is undoubtedly powerful, I hesitate to elevate it to the S-tier. The greatsword brings strong melee capabilities, while the staff adds considerable ranged damage potential. This combination strikes a good balance between offense and defense, making it effective in general gameplay. However, it doesn’t excel enough in any single area to justify an S-tier ranking. Nonetheless, it remains a dependable and solid option.

Sword and Shield with Staff: A Personal Take

I didn’t spend a lot of time with this combination, but I did give it a try. In my experience, the sword and shield paired with a staff felt more effective than the greatsword and staff combination. This mix of melee and ranged weapons is viable to a certain extent in the game. It’s important to note that on the Korean servers, nearly any weapon combination can be effective if you know how to play it well and have the right gear. Improving your gear, traits, and runes is essential. While this combination might feel slightly off, it’s still a decent option. It may be more suited to the B-tier than the A-tier, as it’s not among the best combinations available.

Greatsword with Crossbow: Evaluating Viability

Some players might rank the greatsword paired with a crossbow in the A-tier, but I believe it belongs in the B-tier. This combination is often seen, especially in PVE, where it performs well. However, it doesn’t excel as much in PVP. If we consider only PVE, this combination could be seen as A-tier due to its powerful performance. Overall, though, when taking both PVE and PVP into account, I think it fits better in the B-tier.

Greatsword with Crossbow: Assessing PVE Potential

The greatsword with crossbow setup is somewhat average, but it still performs better than the greatsword with staff or sword and shield with crossbow. After reconsidering, I’d say this combination merits an A-tier ranking, specifically for PVE. It offers strong damage output and impressive survivability, giving you a sense of near-invincibility while playing. This combination delivers a gameplay experience similar to using sword and shield, providing excellent survivability, and is worth trying if you’re focused on PVE content.

Greatsword with Wand: Healing and Viability

I’d place the greatsword with wand combination in the A-tier, largely due to the healing capabilities provided by the wand. If you’re aiming to take on a healer role, this might not be the most conventional setup, but it’s still a viable choice. After the Korean release, I switched my secondary weapon from a longbow to a wand and played with this combination for a while. The high survivability, decent damage, and smooth skill transitions make this combination feel powerful and rewarding. While it may not reach S-tier status, it’s still very effective in general gameplay.

Greatsword with Wand: Balancing Survivability and Damage

This combination offers solid performance, with the wand significantly boosting your survivability. The greatsword itself isn’t particularly fragile, which makes the greatsword and wand pairing a strong option. I used this combination for about 30 days on the Korean servers, and while the damage output wasn’t as high as I’d hoped, it still belongs firmly in the A-tier. The damage might not be top-tier, but the overall survivability and balance make it a dependable choice.

Greatsword with Dagger: Versatile S-Tier Combination

Let’s dive into the greatsword paired with a dagger, a combination I firmly believe belongs in the S-tier. While some might argue that this setup is only effective in arenas or specific scenarios, I disagree. The greatsword and dagger duo excels across various situations, delivering high damage output and offering a wide range of skills. The dagger, serving as the secondary weapon, plays a pivotal role, yet the greatsword itself is a formidable option for players who enjoy melee combat.

In both PVE and PVP, especially in arenas and one-on-one fights, the greatsword with dagger truly stands out. However, for large-scale battles like massive sieges, the sword and shield with greatsword combination might be more effective. But if your focus is on arena clashes or open-world PVP, the greatsword and dagger setup is highly efficient, despite differing opinions about its PVE performance.

Greatsword with Dagger: Solid A-Tier Performance

This pairing offers solid performance, providing decent damage that surpasses most A-tier or B-tier weapon combinations. Therefore, the greatsword with dagger rightfully earns its spot in the A-tier. Now, let’s shift our attention to another compelling combination: the longbow paired with a wand.

Longbow with Wand: A Versatile A-Tier Duo

I’m placing the longbow and wand combination in the A-tier. Although it doesn’t quite reach S-tier, it has immense potential. Both weapons are ranged, with the longbow focusing on damage, while the wand offers healing abilities and additional damage-dealing potential. The wand also brings unique skills to the table, such as sleep, along with other intriguing abilities. Recently, the longbow has received impressive skill specializations, particularly the Vortex skill, and it even features additional healing capabilities.

If your aim is to serve as a healer in the game, this combination might be considered S-tier. However, for a more balanced approach that includes both damage and some healing, I’m placing it in the A-tier. It’s crucial to note that if your primary focus is healing, the longbow with wand setup is indeed S-tier. But for those looking to blend damage with healing, it remains a strong contender in the A-tier.

Longbow with Staff: Unlocking S-Tier Potential

Building on the discussion of the longbow and wand, it’s important to highlight the next combination—longbow with staff—which I place firmly in the S-tier, demonstrating its outstanding potential.

Longbow with Staff: Achieving S-Tier Excellence

The pairing of longbow and staff is nothing short of exceptional. The staff has been significantly buffed, especially in terms of overall damage, and the longbow has also seen improvements—not just through skill specializations but also in enhanced damage and a new skill that can remove crowd control (CC) effects while providing healing. Although the longbow isn’t primarily a healing tool, it now includes three skills that can regenerate your HP and even assist your party members.

On the Korean servers, and likely in the upcoming global release, the longbow and staff combination unquestionably belongs in the S-tier. This ranged duo is incredibly potent, offering both high damage and self-healing capabilities. It excels across both PVP and PVE environments, making it a top choice for players seeking a versatile and powerful setup.

Longbow with Crossbow: A-Tier for Versatility

Now, let’s explore another intriguing combination: longbow with crossbow. Although this pairing might not seem ideal at first glance, I believe it deserves a place in the A-tier. After spending about a month with this combination, I found it offers some unique gameplay experiences. The key difference here is that the crossbow doesn’t have the same range as the longbow. While the longbow excels as a true long-range weapon, the crossbow functions more effectively as a medium-range option. Despite this, the combination works surprisingly well, delivering a versatile playstyle adaptable to various combat situations.

Longbow with Crossbow: A Medium-Range A-Tier Setup

The longbow and crossbow pairing isn’t a melee setup, but it doesn’t fit the traditional long-range category either, as the crossbow leans more towards medium range. When using this combination, the overall feel is positive, although the difference in range between the two weapons can be a bit disorienting. For example, if you don’t manage your skill rotation carefully, you might begin with longbow attacks, only to find your character moving closer to the target to employ crossbow skills, which have a shorter reach.

Nevertheless, the damage output remains solid, and although this combination can feel slightly squishy, recent buffs to the longbow’s healing abilities help balance this out. All things considered, this combination earns its place in the A-tier. It provides a powerful medium-range playstyle with smooth skill rotations and satisfying damage output, making it effective in both PVP and PVE scenarios.

Crossbow with Staff: A Strong Medium-to-Long-Range Combination

Now, let’s take a look at the crossbow paired with a staff. This setup combines a medium-range weapon (crossbow) with a true long-range weapon (staff). The staff remains very powerful on the Korean servers, as it hasn’t been subject to any significant nerfs, making this combination quite effective. Although I haven’t played extensively with this setup, feedback from other players suggests that while it doesn’t quite reach the S-tier, it’s still a solid choice.

The damage output is respectable, though this combination can be a bit on the squishy side. However, you won’t encounter significant mana issues, which is a definite advantage. While it may not be top-tier, it’s still a reliable option that offers a satisfying gameplay experience.

Crossbow with Staff: A-Tier for Mana Efficiency and Versatility

The crossbow, much like other weapons in the game, tends to consume a lot of mana. However, the staff has the unique ability to regenerate mana, making the crossbow and staff a highly complementary pairing. While this combination may not earn an S-tier ranking, it certainly deserves a spot in the A-tier. If you’re searching for a medium-range setup that balances damage with mana efficiency, this is a combination worth exploring.

Wand with Crossbow: A Versatile A-Tier Combination

Let’s now consider the wand paired with a crossbow. The wand is primarily a healing weapon, so at first glance, pairing it with a crossbow might seem unconventional. Nevertheless, I place this combination in the A-tier. Despite rumors of the crossbow being nerfed, it remains a powerful weapon, especially when equipped with good gear. While the crossbow’s average damage might have seen a slight reduction, it continues to be a formidable choice.

The wand brings survivability and healing abilities to the table, making this pairing versatile. Although there are more optimal combinations for dedicated healing—such as wand with staff or wand with longbow—the wand and crossbow duo allows you to effectively balance healing and damage. It might not be the absolute best, but it’s still a strong and viable option.

Crossbow with Dagger: High DPS and Fast Gameplay

Lastly, let’s discuss the crossbow paired with a dagger—a combination that, despite some complaints, hasn’t been significantly nerfed. This setup excels in high single-target DPS and offers a fast-paced, engaging gameplay experience. It performs exceptionally well in action and remains an outstanding choice for those who enjoy rapid, high-damage combat.

Crossbow with Dagger: Top-Tier Versatility

While some may consider this combination A-tier, I strongly disagree. The crossbow paired with a dagger belongs in the S-tier when evaluating the best weapon combinations currently available in the game. This assessment is comprehensive, encompassing both PVP and PVE contexts. Though some may argue that it excels in one area more than the other, the crossbow and dagger combo delivers an exceptional gameplay experience overall.

This pairing is exceptionally fast-paced and highly responsive, making it a favorite for those who thrive on quick, reactive gameplay. However, to fully appreciate this combination, a low ping is essential due to its reliance on swift reactions. The playstyle mirrors that of an assassin, with mid-range crossbow attacks complemented by close-range dagger buffs, particularly enhancing critical damage. Without a doubt, this is one of the best combinations in the game, even if some might suggest it belongs in A-tier.

Staff with Wand: A Premier Healing Combo

Let’s move on to the staff paired with a wand, a combination that firmly belongs in the S-tier, especially for healing purposes. The synergy between the staff and wand is exceptional, providing excellent mana management and significant damage output, primarily thanks to the staff. This combination is about more than just healing; it’s about achieving a perfect balance between healing and offensive capabilities.

With this setup, mana will never be a concern, and you can dish out impressive damage overall. The staff and wand complement each other flawlessly, making this an extremely effective and versatile combination. While some might argue for placing it in the A-tier, I believe it rightfully deserves its position in the S-tier.

Staff with Wand: A Multifaceted Setup

If you’re looking to heal and deal damage while being an invaluable asset to your party or guild, consider the staff with wand combination. This setup offers a versatile and supportive role, making it an excellent choice for players who want to contribute in various ways.

Staff with Dagger: A Dominant S-Tier Pairing

Next on the list is the staff paired with a dagger, another outstanding weapon combination. You might wonder whether this belongs in the A-tier or S-tier—I’m placing it in the S-tier. The staff is incredibly powerful right now on the Korean servers, and when combined with a dagger, it becomes even more potent. Despite discussions about potential nerfs to the dagger, it remains an excellent choice as a secondary weapon.

The dagger pairs well with almost any weapon as a secondary, delivering high damage output and significant burst potential, making it ideal for both PVP and PVE. This combination can easily overwhelm opponents within seconds. While the dagger can also function as a primary weapon, it truly shines as a secondary, perfectly complementing the staff’s strengths.

Wand with Dagger: A-Tier Healing with a Twist

Let’s take a look at the wand paired with a dagger. While it’s tempting to place this combination in the S-tier, I believe it’s more suited to the A-tier. The wand primarily serves as a healing tool, but when combined with the crit-boosting effects of the dagger, it becomes an appealing option for players who want to mix healing with offensive capabilities.

If your goal is to be a dedicated healer, there are more effective combinations available, such as the staff with wand or < span style=”color: #94bd7b;”>longbow with wand. However, the wand and dagger pairing still offers a distinctive mix of healing and damage, making it a powerful choice for those who can master its potential.

Wand with Dagger: A Viable and Potent Option

This is why I refrained from placing the wand and dagger combination in the B-tier. With the right gear and skill, the wand with dagger is absolutely a viable option. It strikes a unique balance between healing and damage, making it a strong contender for versatile gameplay.

Sword and Shield with Longbow: An Unusual but Feasible Setup

Finally, let’s talk about the sword and shield paired with a longbow—a combination that might seem odd at first glance. After testing it, I would classify this combination in the B-tier. Some players might argue that it deserves A-tier status, but I disagree. For those looking to fill a tank role, there are more effective weapon combinations available.

This setup merges a melee weapon with a ranged one, which can feel slightly off during gameplay. However, it’s not as ineffective as it might initially appear and remains a viable choice. If you’re seeking higher damage output, you might prefer combinations like sword and shield with a dagger, longbow with a dagger, longbow with staff, or sword and shield with greatsword. While the sword and shield with longbow combo doesn’t quite excel, it can still work well in certain scenarios.

Final Thoughts on Class and Weapon Combinations

When evaluating the overall ranking list, keep in mind that everything hinges on your playstyle. This list isn’t focused solely on PVP, PVE, healing, tanking, or DPS—it’s an overall assessment of the best classes in *Throne and Liberty*. For tanking, you might consider sword and shield paired with a greatsword, dagger, or wand. For healing, staff with wand or longbow with wand are top-tier choices.

Even the combinations placed in the B-tier, such as greatsword with longbow, sword and shield with crossbow, or sword and shield with longbow, could potentially be A-tier if played skillfully and equipped with the right gear. Ultimately, any combination can be effective in the game, depending on how you choose to play it.
