How to Play Tank in Throne and Liberty: Which Weapons to Choose?

The go-to weapons for a tank are the Sword and Shield as well as the Greatsword. Each favors a defensive style but with distinct approaches:

Greatsword: Ideal for solo players, this weapon allows you to maximize your health points while dealing significant damage. Although you may take many hits, your large health pool and powerful attacks will more than compensate for the damage received.

Sword and Shield: A more traditional choice for tanks in group play. This combo relies on taunting skills to draw enemy attention and defensive abilities to block attacks. With your shield, you can block strikes, increasing your resistance against waves of enemies.

The key stat to prioritize for a tank build is undoubtedly Strength. This increases your maximum health points and boosts your overall defense, both crucial for the tank role.

If you have extra points, Dexterity can increase your chances of landing critical hits, which is especially useful with the Greatsword, while Wisdom will extend the duration of debuffs if you opt for the Sword/Shield.

This build is designed to optimize your health pool while dealing significant damage. Use skills like Death Blow or Guillotine Blade to stun your enemies and take them down quickly. To handle large groups of enemies, prioritize area-of-effect skills like Devastating Tornado.

Key Skills: Death Blow, Guillotine Blade, Devastating Tornado.
Equipment: Choose gear that increases your chances of landing Heavy Attacks, as these strikes are crucial for maximizing your damage output.

The goal of this build is to block as much damage as possible while drawing enemy attention. Use dodge and counter-attack skills while maintaining a defensive stance. This will allow your team to focus on dealing DPS while you take the hits.

Key Skills: Taunt, Shield Block, Counter Attack.
Equipment: Focus on upgrading your shield, as its characteristics will influence your ability to block attacks and reduce incoming damage.
