Long Sword Weapon Overview
The long sword in Throne and Liberty stands out for its flexibility in combat, boasting a range of skills that enhance both offense and defense. Key to this weapon is its ability to inflict various status abnormalities, significantly boosting survivability. Players can engage in active defense using the Shield Survival skill, which not only reduces incoming damage but also allows for vitality recovery and counterattacks.
Shield-based skills are a core aspect of the long sword's arsenal. The Strike Shield skill increases short-range attack accuracy, while the Resolute Charge allows players to charge at targets, potentially stunning them. The Counterattack Barrier skill enhances shield defense and enables powerful counterattacks.
Offensive capabilities are further enhanced with skills like Shield Throw, which damages multiple enemies, and Annihilation, ideal for targeting groups. The long sword also excels in crowd control, with the Chain Hook skill dragging enemies closer and the Fierce Clash skill pushing them away, potentially causing fainting if they hit a wall.
Supporting skills like Ear of Victory, which can be reused based on certain conditions, and active skills that automatically apply when registered in the quick slot, add strategic depth to this weapon class. The long sword can be effectively combined with other weapons, like the two-handed sword, for varied combat styles and enhanced team play, making it a versatile choice for adventurers in Throne and Liberty.
All about the Two-Handed Sword
The two-handed sword in Throne and Liberty is a versatile weapon, balancing attack and defense effectively. Key features include its combo attack that delivers substantial damage while maintaining high stamina. Its wide-area attack skill is particularly potent in destroying enemy camps.
One of the sword's standout abilities is its defensive skill, which consumes stamina to block enemy attacks, occasionally stunning opponents upon a successful block. This skill seamlessly transitions into a massacre attack, targeting all enemies within its range.
Valiant Thrash, another notable skill, allows for continuous attacks on a target, dealing more damage if additional enemies are within the attack radius. The Strong Thrash mobility skill is essential for quickly closing distances to enemies, compensating for the sword's inherent shortcomings.
The weapon also includes a stunning skill, useful for gaining tactical advantages in various combat scenarios. A special one-hit attack causes significant damage, particularly to targets that are stunned, bound, or sleeping. The DaVinci Eggy Bag skill enhances party members' vitality and regeneration, boosting overall combat endurance.
Pig Slitting is a wide-range, non-hit skill that targets all enemies within a specified area. Gland Heat Tornado attacks all surrounding enemies and allows for free movement after activation. The Electrolysis Crushing Area skill targets all enemies in a designated area, reducing their defense with a debuff.
Ascension Expulsion is a high-damage skill against single targets, with increased efficacy on stunned or sleeping enemies. Guillotine Blade inflicts massive damage, especially on fallen targets. The active skill, always on in the quick slot, complements the two-handed sword's combat style.
The video also introduces two weapon combinations. The first combines the sword hook skill to stun enemies, followed by the Ascension Execution and Dandude Color for effective suppression. The second involves using a longbow to amplify damage and bind enemies, allowing for quick closing and overpowering of opponents.
The two-handed sword in Throne and Liberty offers a dynamic and strategic combat experience, adaptable to various styles and situations. Experiment with different weapon combinations to enhance your adventure.
Longbow Weapon Overview
In the recent weapon preview for Throne and Liberty, the longbow is highlighted for its unique combat capabilities. Characterized by its long-range attacks, this weapon allows players to leverage terrain elevation to initiate unilateral attacks. A key feature of the longbow is its binding skills, enabling players to control the battlefield by restricting enemy movement.
One of the longbow's standout skills is 'Stamina,' which serves as a defensive mechanism allowing players to block attacks and, in turn, enhances their critical damage, leading to a powerful 'Punishment Shot' skill. This shot varies in impact based on distance and movement, binding the target with a certain probability.
The 'Wind Demonstration' skill maximizes damage as the distance from the target increases, exploiting the longbow's extensive range. 'Binding Arrow' is another crucial skill, essential for hindering enemy approaches or escapes. The 'Hosimsim Sniper' attack increases critical damage as the target's health diminishes.
'Continuous Bombardment' is a successive attack skill that, upon landing critical hits, can be reused immediately. 'Nature's Grace' boosts vitality regeneration for the caster and nearby party members, while 'Fierce Arrow' targets a specified area, inflicting more damage at the center.
'Country Account Table' is a targeted skill enhancing critical hit and accuracy, benefiting the entire party by reducing cooldown times with critical hits. 'Purifying Touch' removes status ailments from targets and increases attack speed momentarily. Lastly, 'Whirlpool Arrow' creates an area that slows and eventually pulls enemies in, resetting the cooldown of the last used skill.
The video concludes with suggested weapon combinations for the longbow, including the 'Kingdom Mark' with the crossbow for amplified damage and the 'Narage badge' with the dagger for enhanced attack potency and rapid cooldown reduction.
Crossbow Mechanics
The crossbow in Throne and Liberty distinguishes itself with its quick mobility and fast attack speed, allowing for continuous, projectile-free attacks. Its long-range capabilities are adept at exploiting terrain elevation differences, offering unilateral attack options. One key skill, Elasticity Roll, uses stamina to fend off enemy strikes, potentially pushing attackers away upon successful defense and stunning them if they collide with a wall. This skill also has a slowing effect, reducing enemy movement speed. Players can either reuse the skill for a slowed attack or switch to another active skill.
Other notable skills include Extreme Rapid Fire, which rapidly hits a single target thrice, and Nimble Leap, enhancing attack speed and range after movement. Mortal Mark, a crucial skill, marks a target for increased damage over time, with a final burst of damage once the mark expires. Multiple Shooting allows for area attacks in a specified direction, reducing cooldowns for mobility skills with each hit. Selfless Infiltration, on the other hand, clears restraints and boosts evasion and movement speed, while Frenzy generates additional projectiles during attacks.
For recovery, Comic Reduction Liquor is vital, restoring energy at the cost of vitality. Recoil Shooting, chargeable over time, deals amplified damage if used post-maneuver. Merciless Rampage and Wind River Stealer are path skills that increase damage over time and apply debilitating effects, respectively, altering the enemy's and player's movement speeds.
Two weapon combinations are highlighted for the crossbow: one with thorns of the wind and a dagger, focusing on damage amplification and quick attacks, and another with a longbow, enhancing damage with Kingdom Mark and Storm Spike for high-speed, ranged attacks. Players are encouraged to experiment with different weapon combinations for a personalized combat experience in their adventures.
In-Depth Look at the Staff's Abilities
The staff in Throne and Liberty stands out for its capacity to control multiple enemies simultaneously through a variety of attribute attacks and wide-area effects. This versatile weapon can unleash more potent damage and trigger additional effects when combining linked attribute skills.
One key skill, Mystical Shield, utilizes stamina to block enemy attacks, offering counterattacks and additional damage based on enemy status. For example, ignited targets suffer extra damage, and wet enemies generate a damaging area around them. The staff's Flowing Cartoons skill enhances subsequent skills with automatic additional effects.
Staff users can harness elements like lightning and fire with skills like Chain Thunder and Fire Smoke, each adding unique effects and damage enhancements based on the enemy's condition. Wave of Heat and Hellfire Meteor are notable fire skills, dealing extensive area damage and applying ignition.
For defensive and control tactics, the staff offers Tranquility and Freezing Grave, impacting cartoon playback rates and slowing enemies. Ice Spear provides a piercing attack that can reduce enemy movement speed, while High Concentration boosts skill reuse and movement speed.
The staff also includes a powerful lightning skill, Judgment's Chamber, dealing significant damage, especially to wet targets. Additionally, the staff works synergistically with other weapons. For instance, combining it with a magic wand or longbow creates powerful attack sequences, exploiting weaknesses and amplifying damage.
Overall, the staff in Throne and Liberty offers a dynamic and strategic combat experience, suitable for players who enjoy controlling the battlefield with varied elemental attacks and area effects.
In-Depth Look at Daggers
The latest weapon preview for Throne and Liberty showcases the dynamic and lethal capabilities of daggers. Focused on swift and deadly attacks, daggers are ideal for players who prefer an assassin-style combat approach. A key feature of this weapon is its ability to deal additional damage through poison, stealth, and rapid movement skills.
Daggers possess a range of critical strike skills, enabling players to eliminate enemies quickly. One unique skill, Arms' Stomach, offers defensive capabilities by consuming stamina to hide from enemies temporarily when deflecting an attack. This skill then transitions into a poisonous mode, further enhancing the dagger's lethality.
Poisonous Water is a skill that not only damages but also applies a poison effect on the target. Predator Claws, on the other hand, deal amplified damage to targets already suffering from curse, ignition, or poison effects. Shadow Assault is a core skill that allows teleportation behind the target to inflict significant damage, even from a distance.
Poison Injection adds a stacking poison effect to all attacks, halting the target's vitality regeneration. Cruel Cut delivers a powerful attack, with increased critical strike chances if the target's health is below a certain level. Dagger Throw enables ranged attacks with a chance to slow the target's movement.
Ankle Strike, another vital skill, halts the target and may cause them to fall if they're stunned or asleep. The Cloak of Stealth skill offers temporary invisibility, making the first attack a guaranteed critical hit, though using an attack or transforming cancels the stealth mode.
Additional skills include Death Nagi, which deals significant damage after a delay based on the target's poison stack, and Frenzy Sword Dance, capable of up to seven consecutive attacks. The weapon also supports active skills that are always effective when registered in the quick slot.
Two weapon combinations are suggested for daggers: pairing with Tokyo for a deadly poison attack strategy, and combining with a magic wand for stealth infiltration and spreading curses with the mist of evil smoke.
With its blend of stealth, poison, and rapid attack skills, the dagger in Throne and Liberty promises a thrilling and strategic gameplay experience for players who prefer the shadows.
Magic Wand Overview
The magic wand in Throne and Liberty stands out for its versatility in both offensive and defensive roles. Key to its utility are its curse skills, which weaken enemies, and its potent healing and defense-enhancing abilities for allies. A notable feature is the 'Chaos Shield', which increases stamina and can defend against enemy attacks by using a path attack. Successfully blocking with this ability applies the 'Touch of Despair' effect, reducing cooldowns on curse skills and restoring stamina to nearby party members.
'Touch of Despair' itself is a curse that inflicts ongoing damage without waking sleeping targets. This synergizes well with 'Curse Explosion', which triggers special effects on cursed targets, effectively removing all stacks of substitution alloy with immediate damage. For support, the wand offers 'Rapid Healing' to restore a friendly target's vitality and 'Clay's Salvation' to heal all party members within range. Additionally, 'Corruption Magic Power' creates an area that curses and damages all enemies within it.
The wand also includes 'Nightmare Bog', which can slow and eventually sleep enemies, setting them up for critical hits. 'Time of Punishment' and 'Barrier of Grace' provide further utility, reducing enemies' resistance and enhancing defense and endurance, respectively. The 'Haze of Evil' skill spreads curses to nearby targets, while 'Beam of Disaster' offers continuous directional attacks.
Finally, the video highlights two weapon combinations. The first combines the magic wand with young weapons, using 'Time of Punishment' and 'Nightmare Mire' to apply sleep and then attack with 'Flame Dance of Evil'. The second combination, with a crossbow, involves reducing resistance and applying sleep before using 'Wind Stealer' and 'Mortal Mark' for additional effects, followed by 'Ray of Disaster' for damage.
